Funny video time: The first person to make a podcast
And associated rant:
I fucking despise podcast bros. Every random person does not need their own podcast! They almost all seem to go something like this:
P1: "So, get this right, I was at the shops the other day..."
P2: "yeah?"
P1: "and this weird girl at the counter with purple hair did the dumbest thing"
P2: "Damn bro, what did she do"
P1: "Yeah so I go up to her yeah"
P2: "for real?"
P1: "and get this right, so I say to her 'I want a pack of whatever smokes are popular at the moment love'"
P2: "damn what did she say"
P1: "she said 'oh well I'll just need to see some ID first'
P2: "DAYUUUUUM"
P1: "And I'm like 'are you stupid? I'm clearly over 16', yeah?"
P2: "Damn exactly"
P1: "And the stupid cow had the audacity to say back 'Uhhh you have to be over 18 to buy smokes here dude'"
P2: "DAYUUUUUM THATS CRAZY BRO"
P1: "anyway it just got me thinking y'know, this is why women shouldn't be allowed to vote or leave the house... All they ever do is make bad assumptions and correct me about things she knows nothing about"
P2: "Yeah bro for real"
It's become a pathetic game to see who can say the most out of pocket stuff the fastest. And if that's not what they're doing, they just start commenting on things that they actually don't understand. It's ridiculous. I don't really watch YouTube shorts anymore, but on the odd occasion I do, they're everywhere. I hit the dislike button and scroll as fast as I possibly can. I don't stop to argue with them, or watch it on a loop trying to pick my jaw up off the floor, I try and move on as fast as humanly possible, but they always fucking come back
