SPEAKER_00
You want to know what all the cool kids are talking about?
0
SPEAKER_00
Fine, I ll tell you.
0
SPEAKER_00
What s going to be in in 2024 and what s going to be out in 2024?
0
SPEAKER_00
It s what all the cool kids are talking about.
0
SPEAKER_00
Actually, it s what all the cool kids were talking about a few weeks ago.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, I m a little late, and I always am.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s just who I am.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m late because I m not on TikTok.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I ask you to let me enjoy this conversation anyway.
0
SPEAKER_00
Indulge in this conversation anyway, because my God, is it a good one.
0
SPEAKER_00
Last week, I discussed what I think is going to be in in 2024.
0
SPEAKER_00
If you haven t listened to that, go give it a listen.
0
SPEAKER_00
This week, I m going to be discussing what I think is going to be out in 2024.
0
SPEAKER_00
What s done?
0
SPEAKER_00
What s finished?
0
SPEAKER_00
We re leaving it in the past.
0
SPEAKER_00
This list is filled with a combination of things that I want to be out in 2024,
0
SPEAKER_00
things that I m manifesting will go out, and things that I genuinely predict will go out.
0
SPEAKER_00
So it s sort of a combination.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now that we re on the same page, let s begin.
0
SPEAKER_00
Number one, having too many appointments.
0
SPEAKER_00
Having an expensive, time-consuming, inefficient self-care routine.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now hear me out, I myself have quite a few appointments constantly on my schedule for self-care, or is it self-care?
0
SPEAKER_00
Self-improvement?
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know about that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know what the word is, but getting your hair done, getting your nails done, getting your eyebrows done, getting your eyelashes done, getting your lips done, getting your hair waxed, getting your hair lasered, you get what I m saying?
0
SPEAKER_00
That s what I m talking about.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think that having a bunch of appointments constantly on the calendar for these types of things is going to be out.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think what s going to be in is scaling down the routine a bit.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ll use myself as an example.
0
SPEAKER_00
I used to get way more treatments, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
I used to self-tan.
0
SPEAKER_00
I d get spray tans.
0
SPEAKER_00
I used to get my eyebrows done.
0
SPEAKER_00
I used to have a really complicated hair situation, like I always had to be getting my hair done.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was always getting it colored or bleached or something like that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I used to get waxed.
0
SPEAKER_00
I used to do waxing for a little bit.
0
SPEAKER_00
I used to get facials.
0
SPEAKER_00
I used to constantly be at an appointment because I was always getting something done.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, I don t even think I took it too far, to be honest.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like when it comes to people who have a lot of appointments, I was on the less extreme end of things.
0
SPEAKER_00
And even still, I felt like I was always going to some sort of appointment.
0
SPEAKER_00
Over the years, I ve shed a lot of appointments and now I ve scaled it down to what really, really matters to me so that I can spend more time doing other things.
0
SPEAKER_00
For example, I dyed my hair back to its natural color.
0
SPEAKER_00
So now my hair maintenance routine, I go in every few months, get a little trim, even out the color, call it a day.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m good for months.
0
SPEAKER_00
Having my nails done is very important to me.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I always have my nails done.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m currently getting laser hair removal so that I never have to shave again.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I only have to go in and do that every six weeks.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then every once in a while, when my skin is feeling shitty, I ll go in and get a facial.
0
SPEAKER_00
Other than that, I m good.
0
SPEAKER_00
I shed all of the treatments that were not serving me.
0
SPEAKER_00
Getting my eyebrows done, that s not important to me.
0
SPEAKER_00
That might be important to you, and that s totally fine, but it s not important to me, so I shed it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was like, you know what?
0
SPEAKER_00
I m just going to let my natural eyebrows do their thing.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t need to have that appointment on my calendar every month.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
0
SPEAKER_00
I just don t need that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t need to be getting facials every week.
0
SPEAKER_00
That being said, I was doing that more when I had acne and I don t really have as much acne anymore because I went on Accutane, but you get the idea.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t need to do that anymore.
0
SPEAKER_00
So that s removed from the consistent schedule.
0
SPEAKER_00
There are so many treatments these days that you can get that alter your appearance that are impactful.
0
SPEAKER_00
Getting your lips done, getting your eyelashes done.
0
SPEAKER_00
getting lymphatic massage.
0
SPEAKER_00
I actually do enjoy lymphatic massage and I do get those sometimes, but like there are so many different types of treatments in appointments.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think in 2024, it s going to be out to have too many appointments.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think a lot of people are going to start scaling down their routines in that way and just doing what s important to them.
0
SPEAKER_00
Jumping off of that, number two, spray tans.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think spray tans are out for so many reasons.
0
SPEAKER_00
Number one, they don t look that good.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like they only look good for like three days.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s it.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then they start to look patchy and gross and weird.
0
SPEAKER_00
I ve been getting spray tans for years because when I was a cheerleader many years ago, we would all get spray tans.
0
SPEAKER_00
because we were wearing these tiny uniforms and we all wanted to look like we had big muscles.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was like bodybuilding.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was like bodybuilding.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s honestly toxic, but whatever.
0
SPEAKER_00
When you re tan, your muscles look more defined.
0
SPEAKER_00
And when you re wearing a tiny uniform and you re
0
SPEAKER_00
half naked, it s tempting to want to look more buff.
0
SPEAKER_00
So it was totally a trend in the cheerleading world.
0
SPEAKER_00
I always had to spray tan for cheer competitions because I wanted to look buff.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I ve been doing it for years and I haven t done it in a while now because
0
SPEAKER_00
I just don t think it looks good.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just don t think it looks good.
0
SPEAKER_00
And a lot of times, it can make you look a bit orange.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s rare to get the shade quite right.
0
SPEAKER_00
It so rarely looks natural.
0
SPEAKER_00
It can look natural, but it s so rare.
0
SPEAKER_00
It will always end up patchy at some point.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just don t think it s worth it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t think it s worth it.
0
SPEAKER_00
Is it better than going in a tanning bed?
0
SPEAKER_00
Absolutely.
0
SPEAKER_00
Although going in a tanning bed looks better.
0
SPEAKER_00
Sorry, it does.
0
SPEAKER_00
But it s not good for you.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s very unhealthy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Spray tans are harmless, but they just don t look as good.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think it s going to be in to just accept what you have.
0
SPEAKER_00
And you know, during the summer, get a little sun kissed.
0
SPEAKER_00
Fuck it.
0
SPEAKER_00
But during the winter, I just think it s out.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think it s out.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think spray tans are out.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
There are not a lot of redeeming qualities about it when I think about it.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s so much work to go and get a spray tan just for it to look splotchy and orange in like 72 hours.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think it s out.
0
SPEAKER_00
Number three.
0
SPEAKER_00
posting everything on social media.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think 2024 is the year of less is more on social media.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like instead of posting every move, it s going to be less frequent posts with a more impactful update.
0
SPEAKER_00
And this goes for public figures as well as people who are just sharing on social media with their friends and family.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think the whole concept of sharing everything is so hard to do healthily that I think a lot of people are going to stop doing it just naturally and they re going to start living a little bit more in the moment.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, that s great.
0
SPEAKER_00
And they re going to check into social media less frequently to give a little update.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is what I think.
0
SPEAKER_00
I know for me,
0
SPEAKER_00
This is appealing.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I haven t been the type of person who shares every single little move that I make on social media in a long time.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think when I was younger, I did that a lot more.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, I value living in the moment in a whole new way.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I don t even think to post every move on social media.
0
SPEAKER_00
I would have to force myself to do that if I were to want to do that.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s an unnatural behavior for me.
0
SPEAKER_00
So I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just think it s out.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think a lot of people are trying to spend less time on social media and make their time on social media more impactful, like when they are on there, you know, looking at things that make them feel good, posting less frequent updates.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, I think most people are heading that direction, or at least they re trying to.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so I think constantly spamming social media is going to be out.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think it s going to be out.
0
SPEAKER_00
Not across the board.
0
SPEAKER_00
There are always going to be people who are sharing every single little detail of their day.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I think on a broader scale, it s out.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s out.
0
SPEAKER_00
But that s not to say that social media itself is out.
0
SPEAKER_00
Of course it s not.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s so ingrained in us that it s not ever going to be out, I don t think.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think it s now a permanent part of human life.
0
SPEAKER_00
But I think the way that we use social media is going to change.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s going to be less
0
SPEAKER_00
involved.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like when it was new, everyone was so obsessed, so addicted, so in it.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I feel like now as a collective, we re all like, hold on, we need to live in the real world a little bit more.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think that that s fucking awesome.
0
SPEAKER_00
Also, I think this means being less emotional when posting things on social media.
0
SPEAKER_00
There has always been a certain type of person that goes on social media when they re upset and posts about it.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I ve never felt like that s a good idea.
0
SPEAKER_00
I always think it s better to wait to post about something emotional until you ve settled down a bit.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s the same thing with getting into an argument with somebody.
0
SPEAKER_00
You don t want to get into an argument when you re too fired up.
0
SPEAKER_00
You want to wait until you re
1
SPEAKER_00
bit more level-headed so that you can be more rational in conversation.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s just a better way to carry yourself.
1
SPEAKER_00
It leads to a more successful conversation.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I think the same goes for social media.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think people are going to hopefully think a bit more before they post.
1
SPEAKER_00
Overall, I love the idea of posting everything on social media being out
1
SPEAKER_00
Number four, staying at the party, even when it sucks, just to see if it gets good.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fuck that, I m done doing that, and I feel like we re all done doing that.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know when you go to a party and the energy is just off, there s a bunch of little groups standing in the corner, maybe the lights are on a little bit too bright, the flow is not there.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, a good party has the perfect balance, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
There s a good amount of people there.
1
SPEAKER_00
Everybody s mingling with each other.
1
SPEAKER_00
The ambiance is correct.
1
SPEAKER_00
The lights are down low, but not too low.
1
SPEAKER_00
The music is loud, but not too loud.
1
SPEAKER_00
The energy is just right.
1
SPEAKER_00
And you never know when you re going to find that energy at a party or even at a bar or at a club.
1
SPEAKER_00
It just depends.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like the universe just decides.
1
SPEAKER_00
which is why I hate throwing parties myself because there s so much pressure to accomplish that perfect vibe.
1
SPEAKER_00
And if you don t accomplish it, it s kind of embarrassing.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like it s kind of vulnerable to be the host of a party because if it doesn t have a good vibe, then people are like, oh, that person doesn t throw good parties.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, I hate that.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s why I don t do it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I only do small gatherings, but I m done staying at the party to see if it gets good.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes on a Saturday night, I go out and I m like, fuck.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let s fucking hate it.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_00
And I ll end up at a place, maybe it s a bar, maybe it s a party, and the vibe sucks.
1
SPEAKER_00
But because it s Saturday and because I want to celebrate, I m like, you know what?
1
SPEAKER_00
I m going to stick it through.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m going to stick it through.
1
SPEAKER_00
Guess what I ended up doing?
1
SPEAKER_00
Wasting my whole evening because it never gets better.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I could have went to bed at a reasonable hour, but instead I wasted my whole evening waiting to see if it would get better.
1
SPEAKER_00
I will admit, sometimes the party does get better, but I would say, in my experience, that happens less frequently than the party just never getting good.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re better off going home or finding another spot to hang out.
1
SPEAKER_00
Some of my favorite evening memories consist of my friends and I going to a party, hating it, and then going to a diner and talking shit instead.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s the best!
1
SPEAKER_00
Stop waiting around to see if it gets good.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s out.
1
SPEAKER_00
Five, constantly being available and responding to every text.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, an expectation has been created to constantly be available, constantly respond to everything.
1
SPEAKER_00
And a lot of us feel bad that we re not like that all the time.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, we feel bad if we can t respond to everything.
1
SPEAKER_00
We feel this pressure to always be available.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I think that s out.
1
SPEAKER_00
2024, I think we re all going to collectively agree that it s not that deep if we don t respond to a text for a few days.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s not that deep if we don t respond to a text at all.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes we just don t have it in us to be communicating at all times.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think the expectation is going to lower in 2024.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I hope that in 2024, we collectively take that pressure off of ourselves to always be available.
1
SPEAKER_00
But in addition to that, we also take the pressure off of others to always be available.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s kind of ridiculous if you think about it.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a really big ask of ourselves and of others to always be available and to always want to respond.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re not built to communicate in that way.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re built to communicate in a much less intense or frequent way.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like we re built to communicate with people who are around us in a given moment.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then when we re alone, to be fully alone.
1
SPEAKER_00
But that s sort of gone now because we can just text each other, email each other, call each other, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, at all times.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it makes it so that you never get to fully be alone and recharge in a way.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so I think
1
SPEAKER_00
Things are going to change, maybe.
1
SPEAKER_00
Maybe.
1
SPEAKER_00
Maybe things are going to change.
1
SPEAKER_00
Going off of that, number six, showing virtual face on FaceTime or on Zoom.
1
SPEAKER_00
2024, we can turn off the Zoom camera.
1
SPEAKER_00
We don t need to show our face in every meeting.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re calling instead of FaceTiming.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s so exhausting to always be on camera.
1
SPEAKER_00
I already started turning my Zoom camera off nine out of 10 meetings that I m in.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I always apologize for it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I say, sorry, I don t really want to be on camera today.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, I don t say it like that.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s so weird.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sorry, you guys.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t really want to be on camera today.
1
SPEAKER_00
I just feel like, no, it s not that.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like, hey, you guys, I m off camera today.
1
SPEAKER_00
Excuse me.
1
SPEAKER_00
Hope you don t mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, I don t say that either.
1
SPEAKER_00
Ew, why am I saying it so weird?
1
SPEAKER_00
I always bring it up and I m like, don t take it personal.
1
SPEAKER_00
I just don t like being on camera, basically.
1
SPEAKER_00
On top of that, I ve been calling people instead of FaceTiming them.
1
SPEAKER_00
Because there s something fatiguing and exhausting about having a conversation virtually and your face being visible.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s not that it s just visible to them, it s also visible to you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, when you re on Zoom or you re on FaceTime, you can see yourself in the corner of the screen.
1
SPEAKER_00
And there s something exhausting about that.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t like to think about what I look like when I m having a conversation.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like it distracts me from communicating properly.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I know I m not the only one.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I think showing face virtually, it s out.
1
SPEAKER_00
Number seven, feeling guilty when it s unnecessary.
1
SPEAKER_00
Listen, it s fair to feel guilty if you really did something wrong.
1
SPEAKER_00
If you really did something wrong and you really wronged somebody, I don t think there s anything wrong with feeling a bit guilty about it for a period of time.
1
SPEAKER_00
Some would argue it s crucial to learn your lesson.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, you have to feel that shame, that guilt in order to learn your lesson and to eventually come to a place where you forgive yourself and you re hungry to do better.
1
SPEAKER_00
I do think guilt is sort of a crucial part of that journey, but there are so many instances where we feel guilty and we shouldn t.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like cutting a friend out of our lives who doesn t make us feel good, doesn t click with our life.
1
SPEAKER_00
We don t need to feel bad about that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Accidentally waking up too late some days.
1
SPEAKER_00
We don t need to feel bad about that.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re human.
1
SPEAKER_00
We make mistakes.
1
SPEAKER_00
Being lazy sometimes.
1
SPEAKER_00
We don t need to feel guilty about that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Falling out of our exercise routine.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re human.
1
SPEAKER_00
We don t need to feel guilty about that.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like with these sorts of
1
SPEAKER_00
instances, it makes more sense to feel inspired instead of feeling guilty.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like for example, you fall out of your workout routine.
1
SPEAKER_00
You re not doing it anymore, but you know it makes you feel good and you really want to get back into it, but you know it takes discipline and you re trying to find that discipline from within, but it s hard to find.
1
SPEAKER_00
Instead of feeling guilty and bad about falling out of the routine, instead be like, you know what?
1
SPEAKER_00
I m inspired to get back into it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m really going to make it a priority to get back into it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Or if you spent a week being really lazy, you just had a lazy week, instead of feeling guilty and like you re a piece of shit, let it inspire you to get back into it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Changing your mindset in that way is so much more effective.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I don t know, I just think feeling guilty when it s unnecessary is out.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s out.
1
SPEAKER_00
Number eight, adopting a pet even though it s a bad idea.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, we ve all seen dogs, puppies up for adoption and been like, oh, I need it.
1
SPEAKER_00
We ve all found ourselves going through a rough time and thought, you know what would fix this?
1
SPEAKER_00
Adopting an animal companion.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s not a coincidence that I adopted both of my cats directly after breakups.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, it s not a coincidence.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I don t regret that for the record, but I probably shouldn t have done it when I did.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, I probably should have waited a little bit longer and thought about it a bit more.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s totally fine.
1
SPEAKER_00
Again, no regrets, but still.
1
SPEAKER_00
It can be so tempting to adopt a pet, even though it s not a good idea for you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, even for me, I travel so much that I honestly shouldn t have pets.
1
SPEAKER_00
For my job, I travel all the time.
1
SPEAKER_00
Every time I travel, I have to have somebody watch my cats.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now, it s totally fine.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have multiple options available for that, but that s not an ideal situation.
1
SPEAKER_00
I probably shouldn t have done that, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
I figured out a routine that works, and that s great, but not everybody wants to pay for a babysitter for their pet when they leave town.
1
SPEAKER_00
Not everyone can.
1
SPEAKER_00
But we forget that when we re in a haze and we want to adopt a pet so bad, we can t think of anything else.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, you meet a really cute little kitten at an adoption center.
1
SPEAKER_00
You meet a cute little puppy at an adoption center.
1
SPEAKER_00
You are going through a breakup.
1
SPEAKER_00
I get it.
1
SPEAKER_00
You can go into a trance and be like, oh, I need a little furry friend though.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, you don t.
1
SPEAKER_00
This is a decision that requires so much thought.
1
SPEAKER_00
You need to analyze your entire life.
1
SPEAKER_00
Is this a good idea?
1
SPEAKER_00
How often do you travel?
1
SPEAKER_00
Do you work from home?
1
SPEAKER_00
Do you have the time to give this animal the love
2
SPEAKER_00
care it deserves.
2
SPEAKER_00
I would say 9 out of 10 people shouldn t have a pet.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like I shouldn t have a pet.
2
SPEAKER_00
My pets are totally taken care of and they are so loved and so happy but I shouldn t have a pet.
2
SPEAKER_00
Do you get what I m saying?
2
SPEAKER_00
Like my lifestyle does not align with having a pet.
2
SPEAKER_00
2024, we re not impulsively adopting pets.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s done.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s out.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s over.
2
SPEAKER_00
Number nine, food delivery.
2
SPEAKER_00
Hear me out.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think food delivery on a special occasion is phenomenal.
2
SPEAKER_00
Night in with friends, ordering dinner, fuck yeah.
2
SPEAKER_00
A really long day at work, no groceries in the fridge, food delivery, fuck yeah.
2
SPEAKER_00
Occasional food delivery is incredible.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s great.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s a novelty.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s exciting.
2
SPEAKER_00
What I think is out is constantly ordering food delivery, getting food delivered once a day or more.
2
SPEAKER_00
That is out.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m not sure if this is something that people do more in big cities.
2
SPEAKER_00
or if this is something that people do everywhere, because I will say food delivery is much less available in smaller cities, smaller towns.
2
SPEAKER_00
In big cities, it s so incredibly available.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s so fast.
2
SPEAKER_00
There are so many options.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I don t know if this is more of a niche one, but I know a lot of people that order food delivery on a daily basis.
2
SPEAKER_00
And understandably so.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve gone through phases like that because it s so convenient.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s so easy to get into a routine of it.
2
SPEAKER_00
And especially when you live alone, it s like, I don t want to go get groceries for just myself.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m just going to order food, you know?
2
SPEAKER_00
But here s why I think it s going to be out.
2
SPEAKER_00
Number one, it is definitely not cost effective.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s very expensive.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s an expensive habit.
2
SPEAKER_00
Not only is restaurant food more expensive, but also there are delivery fees.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s all these different taxes like, oh, delivery.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s all these things happening.
2
SPEAKER_00
The price is always higher than you think it s going to be.
2
SPEAKER_00
You re burning money almost, you know, if you re doing it all the time.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s like burning money.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s number one.
2
SPEAKER_00
Number two, doing it all the time destroys the novelty that is food delivery.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think food delivery should be a novelty.
2
SPEAKER_00
It should be this exciting, romantic, fun thing.
2
SPEAKER_00
But if you do it all the time, then it s not that anymore and you take it for granted.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m not doing a lot of food delivery right now.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve been really cooking for myself.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now, I m not cooking myself anything extravagant, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
I m making the same things every week.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s boring.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I enjoy making these simple meals.
2
SPEAKER_00
I like getting my hands dirty.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s therapeutic in a lot of ways.
2
SPEAKER_00
Not only that, but it s much more cost effective, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
My grocery bill compared to like my postmates bill, oh my God.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think abusing food delivery is out.
2
SPEAKER_00
Special occasions only.
2
SPEAKER_00
Get back into cooking again.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you don t need to cook yourself anything super extravagant.
2
SPEAKER_00
Just do what your ancestors were doing and cook again.
2
SPEAKER_00
Number 10, ordering everything online.
2
SPEAKER_00
Don t get me wrong.
2
SPEAKER_00
We re never going to stop ordering things online.
2
SPEAKER_00
Never.
2
SPEAKER_00
But now that COVID s over and everything s open again and it s been a few years, I think shopping in person is going to come back.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think ordering everything online is going to be out.
2
SPEAKER_00
Here s why.
2
SPEAKER_00
In a lot of ways, it s less convenient to order everything online.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s so nice to go into a store and enjoy your time there.
2
SPEAKER_00
And to get all the stuff that you need, but also maybe pick up some other stuff that you didn t know you needed.
2
SPEAKER_00
Discover new stuff.
2
SPEAKER_00
If you re shopping for clothes, you can try things on.
2
SPEAKER_00
You don t have to deal with the pesky returns.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
For a long time, it was all about online shopping.
2
SPEAKER_00
And online shopping will never fully be out, but I think it s going to go out a little bit.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think ordering everything online is out.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think it s going to become ordering just some stuff online and getting back into the stores.
2
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I m wrong.
2
SPEAKER_00
If we were to look at the data, the data is not showing that.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, I m going against all the data, but I could see people craving the experience of going to a store again and the convenience in some ways of going to the store again, especially I think for clothing shopping.
2
SPEAKER_00
11.
2
SPEAKER_00
Irresponsible tattoo.
2
SPEAKER_00
Picture this.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s a night out.
2
SPEAKER_00
You and all your friends are a little buzzed.
2
SPEAKER_00
You walk past a tattoo shop.
2
SPEAKER_00
Somebody says, wait, we should all get a matching tattoo.
2
SPEAKER_00
Fuck it.
2
SPEAKER_00
You go in and get something hideous.
2
SPEAKER_00
Two years later, you re not even friends with those people anymore.
2
SPEAKER_00
This shit s out, okay, this shit is out.
2
SPEAKER_00
Irresponsible tattoos are out.
2
SPEAKER_00
Getting a matching tattoo with your significant other, don t do that, that s out, that is out.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s cursed and it s out, don t do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
Getting a super trendy tattoo that s really of the now, that s not even that personal to you, it s just trendy, that s out, don t do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
What s in is to take tattoos seriously.
2
SPEAKER_00
What s out is to just go out on a whim and get a tattoo.
2
SPEAKER_00
That has to be out soon.
2
SPEAKER_00
I feel like a lot of us don t take tattoos that seriously, but it is crazy how permanent they are.
2
SPEAKER_00
They re very permanent.
2
SPEAKER_00
You can t get them lasered off, sure, but who wants to do that?
2
SPEAKER_00
It s a huge decision to get a tattoo.
2
SPEAKER_00
You want to make sure you go to a great artist who has good technique and has a lot of experience.
2
SPEAKER_00
You want to make sure you re in the right frame of mind and that you ve fully thought about what you re going to get.
2
SPEAKER_00
and you love the idea and you know that it s timeless and it ll never get old to you.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s the only way to get tattoos I think.
2
SPEAKER_00
I have quite a few actually.
2
SPEAKER_00
I have like 12 or 15 and they re all on the insides of my arms and every single one is meaningful to me.
2
SPEAKER_00
I do have one irresponsible tattoo.
2
SPEAKER_00
Do I regret getting it?
2
SPEAKER_00
No, because I just don t think regret is a necessary emotion.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I do have one.
2
SPEAKER_00
If I were to be faced with the choice of getting it now, would I get it?
2
SPEAKER_00
No, absolutely not.
2
SPEAKER_00
But in the moment, I wanted to do it.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you re young and you re like, oh, I m going to get a matching tattoo, like with someone.
2
SPEAKER_00
Terrible idea.
2
SPEAKER_00
Don t ever do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
Literally don t ever do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sorry.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t regret it, but I wouldn t do it again.
2
SPEAKER_00
And if I could go back, I wouldn t do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
And moving forward, I won t do that again.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think irresponsible tattoos are out.
2
SPEAKER_00
Number 12, tampons.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m so sick and tired of tampons.
2
SPEAKER_00
I need them sometimes.
2
SPEAKER_00
If I m going to a red carpet event and I m wearing this gown and I won t be able to address the situation for hours on end, it s pretty handy to have a big tampon that will soak it all up, holding it down in there.
2
SPEAKER_00
Don t get me wrong, I rely on tampons.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I have a very vivid fear of toxic shock.
2
SPEAKER_00
If you don t know what that is, I will tell you.
2
SPEAKER_00
It is a rare, life-threatening complication of certain bacterial infections.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you can get it from wearing a tampon.
2
SPEAKER_00
According to my.clevelandclinic.org, there isn t a set time for when symptoms of toxic shock syndrome start after using a tampon.
2
SPEAKER_00
However, tampons should be removed from your vagina after eight hours to lower your risk of toxic shock syndrome.
2
SPEAKER_00
This doesn t mean that you will get toxic shock syndrome if a tampon is left in your vagina for longer than eight hours.
2
SPEAKER_00
It means studies have shown that prolonged use of a tampon promotes the production of harmful bacteria.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s so scary.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now I don t want to fear monger here because I don t think that it s, it s not very common, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think if you re using tampons responsibly and you re taking them out responsibly, you know, you re not leaving them in for too long, I think.
2
SPEAKER_00
you know, you re most likely going to be fine.
2
SPEAKER_00
And if you start to get a fever while you re wearing a tampon, then you take it out immediately and go to the hospital.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s like, you know, we re going to be fine.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I have a lot of paranoia around them because it scares me.
2
SPEAKER_00
And also a lot of them have fragrances in them.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like a lot of tampons have fragrances in them and other like harmful chemicals and stuff.
2
SPEAKER_00
And you can buy ones that don t, but they re less available.
2
SPEAKER_00
So like if you randomly ask someone for a tampon, they re probably going to give you one that
2
SPEAKER_00
isn t like all natural and shit, and that s not good for your vagina.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m just over tampons.
2
SPEAKER_00
They stress me out so much, and they re very uncomfortable, and I think that tampons are out.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think, call me crazy for this, but if your period s not too heavy, maybe it s wearing a pad.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sorry.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love wearing a pad.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve been wearing pads more recently, and it s like kind of amazing.
2
SPEAKER_00
I can t do it when my period s super heavy,
2
SPEAKER_00
But when it s a bit lighter, I m wearing a pad.
2
SPEAKER_00
I also wear period underwear that soak up the blood.
2
SPEAKER_00
It kind of has like a built-in pad.
2
SPEAKER_00
Love those.
2
SPEAKER_00
I ve been pondering getting one of those menstrual cups.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s like a reusable cup that collects all the blood and you can reuse it forever.
2
SPEAKER_00
Probably not forever, but for a while.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just think tampons are out.
2
SPEAKER_00
They re so convenient, but they might be
3
SPEAKER_00
Be out.
3
SPEAKER_00
Number 13, extreme PDA.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about grabbing each other s asses in public, making out when it s kind of inappropriate.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s like the lights are a little too bright in here for you guys to be making out.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, being super overwhelmingly affectionate with your significant other in front of other people during conversation, like it s distracting, it s inappropriate, it s weird.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love PDA.
3
SPEAKER_00
When I m in a relationship, I actually enjoy it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I like a little grab on the leg under the table at a restaurant with friends, with bae.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love that.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love even a casual arm around me.
3
SPEAKER_00
I like a little kiss on the cheek in public.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love that.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think that s great.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love a little holding hands when waiting in line at a coffee shop.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love that.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I think overwhelming PDA kind of needs to go out.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, a few weeks ago I was at a party, and let me paint the scene for you, okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
Well-lit room, like very well-lit, like everyone could see everyone.
3
SPEAKER_00
Everybody s sitting around super casually, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
Just sitting on the couch casually.
3
SPEAKER_00
There s a lot of space for everyone to just hang out comfortably and spread out.
3
SPEAKER_00
And this one couple, and I don t want to shit on them because I bet they re really happy and I don t want to shit on their happiness, but at the same time I m about to do it, so sorry.
3
SPEAKER_00
They re sitting on each other s lap.
3
SPEAKER_00
kind of like making out a little bit like not fully but like kind of and it was just a little inappropriate to me i was like this is not the right time for that you re gonna go home and you re gonna like have sex like just wait or like
3
SPEAKER_00
sit next to each other and hold hands, but like sitting on each other and like kind of making out in front of everyone in a well-lit room.
3
SPEAKER_00
I just think it s a little weird, and I think it makes people uncomfortable, and I just don t think it s the vibe in 2024.
3
SPEAKER_00
I just don t.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think we re leaving that in the past.
3
SPEAKER_00
But see part of me is actually hesitant to say this because I actually kind of love watching a super affectionate couple, even if it makes me kind of cringe, I kind of love it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like if I m in line at a coffee shop or I m in line at the grocery store and there s a couple in front of me and they grab each other s ass or something or
3
SPEAKER_00
you know put their hand on each other s butt or something and like kind of squeezing a little bit it s so cringe it s like please don t do that like why are you doing that that s really like don t wait just wait but then i m also like can t take my eyes off it i m like i m so intriguing i i can t stop watching or if i see like a couple making out in the middle of a party in front of everyone part of me is a little uncomfortable and part of me is like come on you guys like save it
3
SPEAKER_00
you know, save it or like go in a corner, you know, but then part of me is like, I can t take my eyes off.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I m being a little bit too rigid about it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I m being close minded about it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe there s something I need to work on myself.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I m being too judgmental.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I m inflicting my own beliefs on other people.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
Extreme PDA.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think it s out.
3
SPEAKER_00
Speaking of that, number 14, hookup culture.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think it s out.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think it s out.
3
SPEAKER_00
It was in for the last few years, you know, being on the dating apps simply to hook up with people, going out, just wanting to hook up with people, a societal fear of commitment, like everyone collectively being afraid of commitment.
3
SPEAKER_00
I feel like that s out actually.
3
SPEAKER_00
I feel like this year people are going to be looking for someone serious.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think hookup culture has its benefits.
3
SPEAKER_00
I get it.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, the idea that you can be single, but yet you can still enjoy sex.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, I get it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I totally get it.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I think a lot of people do want a partner in crime.
3
SPEAKER_00
deep down.
3
SPEAKER_00
And not everyone, okay, not everyone.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think there s always going to be people who prefer just hooking up.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s great.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s fine.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m not judging.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I do think that in mass, people are going to be looking for more serious relationships.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, they re going to be using the dating apps and putting in their little description, I m looking for something serious.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like I see that happening and I see intense hookup culture sort of dying out a little bit.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think it might be out.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
I actually saw some people say that in their ins and outs list.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I, I d been thinking that too.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, I think it might be out.
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, for me, it s always sort of an out.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve tried.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve tried.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve tried.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve tried to enjoy like a random hookup.
3
SPEAKER_00
I really have tried.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s just not me.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m such a relationship girl.
3
SPEAKER_00
And so maybe I m biased, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I m biased.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I don t think so.
3
SPEAKER_00
I actually think
3
SPEAKER_00
It s happening in our culture.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe not though.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe not.
3
SPEAKER_00
We ll see.
3
SPEAKER_00
Number 15, playing hard to get.
3
SPEAKER_00
Stop.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m so done with that.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m so done with that.
3
SPEAKER_00
Games, playing games and relationships are out in 2024.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s time to say to the person you like, I like you.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s time to shower people with love and affection.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s time to respond to your crush the second that they text you, not wait four hours to make them think you re busy all the time.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s out.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m so done with that.
3
SPEAKER_00
If you feel like you have to do that, chances are the person that you re talking to is not good for you.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve learned that recently.
3
SPEAKER_00
If you feel like you need to manipulate them into being excited about you by being a challenge, I genuinely don t think they re good for you.
3
SPEAKER_00
Now,
3
SPEAKER_00
Have I played that game a lot in my life?
3
SPEAKER_00
Absolutely.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve never been great at it, but I ve definitely tried it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve definitely toyed around with it.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I ve personally made the decision that I m done, okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
But I think that, again, as a collective, we re all sick of it.
3
SPEAKER_00
We re all sick of the games.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s so fun to really like someone and them really like you and to just lean into it full throttle, just to gush for each other.
3
SPEAKER_00
to be present for each other and to be vulnerable and put it all out on the table.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think finding somebody that you re able to do that with is rare, but it s worth the hunt because I think that those are the relationships that are going to last longer.
3
SPEAKER_00
If you feel comfortable and safe to do that, then you ve found somebody who likes you just as much as you like them.
3
SPEAKER_00
Because a lot of times we end up playing games because either one, we don t feel like the other person likes us as much as we like them.
3
SPEAKER_00
And so we re playing hard to get in a way to match their level of effort or to make them more obsessed with us.
3
SPEAKER_00
Or we play hard to get because we personally are insecure and we re like, oh my God, I don t feel like I can
3
SPEAKER_00
fully show how much I care, blah, blah, blah, because I don t feel like I m worthy of love and appreciation and reciprocation of that.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I think games are going to be out because I think it s time to find that confidence within ourselves to do it, but then also to not entertain people who don t match our level of excitement, to find somebody who you don t want to play games with because you don t have to.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s just naturally loving and exciting and warm and open and vulnerable.
3
SPEAKER_00
Number 16, waiting in long lines.
3
SPEAKER_00
I recently saw on the news that
3
SPEAKER_00
There was a Target-Starbucks-Stanley Cup collab.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s this bright pink cup.
3
SPEAKER_00
If you don t know what I m talking about, just look up Target-Starbucks-Stanley Cup and you ll see what I m talking about.
3
SPEAKER_00
There were people waiting outside of Target for eight hours to get this cup, okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
It was ridiculous.
3
SPEAKER_00
And everyone was in a line.
3
SPEAKER_00
It was intense.
3
SPEAKER_00
Unbelievable.
3
SPEAKER_00
Now, I actually appreciate people being excited about things.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think that that s great.
3
SPEAKER_00
Okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
So I don t want to shit on people being excited.
3
SPEAKER_00
I more want to shit on waiting in line.
3
SPEAKER_00
Waiting in line for that just to potentially not even get the cup, I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if that s a good use of your time.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I also understand the novelty of it.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I m sort of on the fence with this, but I think in general, waiting in line, I just think it s out.
3
SPEAKER_00
Another good example of this would be, let s say there are two really great coffee shops in your town, and one of them always has a really long line and the other one doesn t, but both of them are really good.
3
SPEAKER_00
The only difference is the ambiance in one of them is better than the other.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe the other one s more trendy.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe the one with the long line is like the hot spot, whereas the other one is maybe a little bit less Instagrammable, a little bit less aesthetically pleasing.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s maybe a little bit more homey.
3
SPEAKER_00
Maybe the crowd that goes to that coffee shop is a little bit different than the type of crowd that you tend to surround yourself with.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think it s in to go to the underrated coffee shop and not have to wait in the line.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like another good example, okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
On New Year s, I was in New York City and there are all these parties with long lines and all these bars with long lines because those were the hotspots to go.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know what my friends and I did?
4
SPEAKER_00
We went to this horrible, horrible dive bar.
4
SPEAKER_00
No one was there.
4
SPEAKER_00
There was no line.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, every time we wanted to get a drink, it was like, okay, just walk up to the bar.
4
SPEAKER_00
You don t even have to wait.
4
SPEAKER_00
And we ended up having more fun.
4
SPEAKER_00
We ended up having more fun.
4
SPEAKER_00
It was so tempting to go to the popular spot and to wait in that line.
4
SPEAKER_00
But you know what?
4
SPEAKER_00
I m so glad we didn t because we would have gotten in there and we would have ended up getting disappointed.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s the other thing about a long line.
4
SPEAKER_00
If you re waiting in a long line for something, it s because you have an expectation and you re so much more likely to be disappointed.

SPEAKER_00
If you aren t waiting in a long line, you have no expectation.
4
SPEAKER_00
You re like, this is easy.
4
SPEAKER_00
So I m just going to be happy with what I get.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think long lines are out.
4
SPEAKER_00
Number 17, quantity over quality.
4
SPEAKER_00
Buying one really nice shirt instead of five shitty ones.
4
SPEAKER_00
Getting one really nice bottle of wine instead of ordering 10 shitty cocktails over the course of the night.
4
SPEAKER_00
10 cocktails is a lot.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay, don t do that.
4
SPEAKER_00
Let s say this, okay, getting one nice bottle of wine instead of ordering five tequila shots over the course of the night.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, quality over quantity.
4
SPEAKER_00
One good friend instead of five mediocre ones.
4
SPEAKER_00
One good romantic interest instead of 10 mediocre ones.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s the mindset for 2024.
4
SPEAKER_00
A lot of us by default feel like more is better.
4
SPEAKER_00
you know, with shopping, for example, buying clothes.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s like, I d rather have five different shirts than one shirt because now I can make more outfits.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, but one really good shirt can be styled a bazillion different ways, and it s enjoyable to wear, it s comfortable, and it lasts forever.
4
SPEAKER_00
Five shitty shirts, you get sick of them.
4
SPEAKER_00
They start falling apart.
4
SPEAKER_00
They re not as comfortable because they re not made beautifully, you know?
4
SPEAKER_00
10 mediocre romantic interests.
4
SPEAKER_00
will leave you feeling more lonely and more sad than one really promising romantic interest.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
4
SPEAKER_00
One really nice bottle of wine is a novelty.
4
SPEAKER_00
God, that s my word of the day.
4
SPEAKER_00
W-O-T-D, word of the day, novelty.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love that word today.
4
SPEAKER_00
I always do this.
4
SPEAKER_00
I always get a word that I can t stop using.
4
SPEAKER_00
I have a few words right now that I can t stop using.
4
SPEAKER_00
Novelty, apparently,
4
SPEAKER_00
Indulgent, can t stop saying it, such a good word.
4
SPEAKER_00
Oh wow, such a good word.
4
SPEAKER_00
Indulgent, novelty, and that might be it right now.
4
SPEAKER_00
The word prior to those two was phenomenal.
4
SPEAKER_00
I couldn t stop saying phenomenal.
4
SPEAKER_00
It was really heavily in the rotation.
4
SPEAKER_00
Kind of glad to see it go though, to be honest, because it was sort of, not pretentious, but it was just,
4
SPEAKER_00
kind of pretentious.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I was always saying it tongue-in-cheek,
4
SPEAKER_00
Like being like, wow, this food is phenomenal.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s just like, Emma, shut the fuck up.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s not funny, no one s laughing, and it s just cringe.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I couldn t help it.
4
SPEAKER_00
I couldn t help it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Quantity over quality is out.
4
SPEAKER_00
Number 18, spinach artichoke dip.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m so sorry.
4
SPEAKER_00
Can we not order that for the table?
4
SPEAKER_00
Can that just be taken off of every menu?
4
SPEAKER_00
I know a lot of you are gonna be mad at me.
4
SPEAKER_00
A lot of you are gonna say, Emma, spinach artichoke dip is delicious.
4
SPEAKER_00
Why don t you give it more of a chance?
4
SPEAKER_00
No, it s gross.
4
SPEAKER_00
If there was no spinach and no artichoke in it and it was just like a cheesy sort of dip, great, I would eat it.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t need the spinach in it.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t need the artichoke in it.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s like slimy and gross.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t like it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Every time I see it on a menu, I m like, why?
4
SPEAKER_00
I find it to be disgusting and I think it s out.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think it s going to be exiting the popular restaurants  menus soon.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think it s just going to be out soon.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I m fucking stoked to see it go.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m so stoked to see it go.
4
SPEAKER_00
If that gets ordered for the table, I m not going to have a bite of it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Same with tartare.
4
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I m a vegetarian, so I wouldn t eat it anyway, but even if I wasn t, I would be so grossed out by it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Steak tartare, tuna tartare, mashed up raw meat.
4
SPEAKER_00
Ew.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay, sorry.
4
SPEAKER_00
Again, I don t want to yuck someone s yum.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I don t think Tartare is going out anytime soon, but ew.
4
SPEAKER_00
Number 19, movies with old stories.
4
SPEAKER_00
Let me explain.
4
SPEAKER_00
I feel like all the movies that I ve been seeing coming out recently are old stories.
4
SPEAKER_00
Okay, for example, celebrity biopics, Marilyn Monroe movie, Elvis movie, et cetera, et cetera.
4
SPEAKER_00
I appreciate it, but it s also like, what about something new?
4
SPEAKER_00
What about something fresh?
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, they re remaking a lot of the Disney movies.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s like, what about a new story?
4
SPEAKER_00
That would be so fun.
4
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it s because it doesn t perform as well.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I don t know, like new stories.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like they ve made so many Exorcist movies.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s like the same story over and over.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I feel like in Hollywood, they just keep doing remakes or retelling old stories.
4
SPEAKER_00
And it just feels redundant and
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t know, it s not exciting.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I love a new story.
4
SPEAKER_00
And that s not to say that new stories aren t being made in film all the time, because I think they are.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I feel like what gets the most press, what gets the most attention, retold stories.
4
SPEAKER_00
Old stories.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, it doesn t feel very fresh.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t know, maybe I m like being too harsh.
4
SPEAKER_00
Maybe this is a really terrible opinion.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I d love to see new stories.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I d love to see those new stories blow up and go full mainstream.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
4
SPEAKER_00
I just find it to be not very exciting.
4
SPEAKER_00
But again, that s just me.
4
SPEAKER_00
And no disrespect to the directors making them, no disrespect to the actors who are in them.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I get why it s happening.
4
SPEAKER_00
Number one, because it s reliable, right?
4
SPEAKER_00
If you make a new movie about something that s already succeeded, chances are it s gonna succeed again.
4
SPEAKER_00
So it s a safe option.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s no risk there.
4
SPEAKER_00
And obviously these big companies are putting a lot of money into these movies.
4
SPEAKER_00
They want them to do well.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s a safe bet to just retell an old story that already did well before.
4
SPEAKER_00
On top of that, for writers of movies, it s hard, really hard, to write a good story.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s really hard.
4
SPEAKER_00
It takes a lot of time.
4
SPEAKER_00
when you re just writing from scratch, right?
4
SPEAKER_00
And I think it s a lot easier to start with this plentiful base of either an old story, slightly redone, or maybe you re making a sequel, so it s like a sequel to a movie that already exists, there s so much to pull from, or it s a biopic
4
SPEAKER_00
where it s like, okay, this is about a public figure.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s a lot of information here.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, it s just retelling a story that already exists.
4
SPEAKER_00
Do you know what I mean?
4
SPEAKER_00
I get it.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s easier.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I think nowadays it s all about speed.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, oh, you know, if you re in the film industry, it s like, you need to be putting out as many films as possible.
4
SPEAKER_00
It takes so much time to write a new story that it s not as cost effective for writers to focus on coming up with a new story.
4
SPEAKER_00
It makes more sense to,
4
SPEAKER_00
have a head start and to redo an old story.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I just think it s so sad because I think new stories are so much more exciting.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, I m not inspired to watch a remake or a sequel or a biopic even.
4
SPEAKER_00
Biopics, I think, can be interesting if they re told in a new way or they re showing a new perspective.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I think biopics next to all the remakes, next to all the sequels,
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, it s just, I don t know.
4
SPEAKER_00
Number 20, being late.
4
SPEAKER_00
Can we all just leave 15 minutes earlier than we think we need to?
4
SPEAKER_00
Can we all trick ourselves and write on our schedule for the day?
4
SPEAKER_00
Leave at this time, which is 15 minutes earlier than you think you need to leave.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, let s say you need to leave at 9.30 to be there right on time.
4
SPEAKER_00
Put on your calendar to leave at 9.15 for fuck s sake.
4
SPEAKER_00
I am so sick of being late.
4
SPEAKER_00
I hate being late for things.
4
SPEAKER_00
It doesn t happen a lot.
4
SPEAKER_00
but it stresses me out so bad.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, it makes me anxious and it s not worth it.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m done being late and I think we should all be done being late.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think being late is out.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think planning ahead so that you re not stressed out and you can be a little early is in.
4
SPEAKER_00
21, becoming invested in stupid celebrity drama.
4
SPEAKER_00
We all, almost, okay, not all of us, but almost all of us love stupid celebrity drama.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like, there was so much drama at the Golden Globes Awards.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s always drama with, you know, celebrities getting divorced.
4
SPEAKER_00
There s always drama with celebrities having a falling out, like if they re friends before.
4
SPEAKER_00
And it s so, so intriguing, and it s so interesting, and it s so hard to look away.
4
SPEAKER_00
But we are wasting so much time on this, like keeping up with the drama, because it s kind of time consuming.
4
SPEAKER_00
If you want to know what s going on, you have to be involved.
4
SPEAKER_00
You have to be checking in on it on a day-to-day basis.
4
SPEAKER_00
And that s not hard to do because your algorithm
4
SPEAKER_00
is probably feeding you all the info.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I ve wasted so much time paying attention to celebrity drama, celebrity divorce, celebrity falling out, celebrity in rehab, like shit that is none of my business.
4
SPEAKER_00
Number one, it s none of my business.
4
SPEAKER_00
And then number two, it s not benefiting me in any way.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s useless information.
4
SPEAKER_00
And so I think I m done.
4
SPEAKER_00
I think I m done paying attention to it.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I think
5
SPEAKER_00
All of us should.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I think all of us are kind of getting sick of it too.
5
SPEAKER_00
Being like, why does this matter?
5
SPEAKER_00
This doesn t matter.
5
SPEAKER_00
This is not benefiting anyone at all.
5
SPEAKER_00
This isn t making me smarter.
5
SPEAKER_00
This isn t making me happier.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s junk information.
5
SPEAKER_00
I think becoming invested in it is out.
5
SPEAKER_00
Now this next one I m on the fence about, okay?
5
SPEAKER_00
And I need to elaborate because there s a lot of nuance here.
5
SPEAKER_00
So please allow me to indulge in this, okay?
5
SPEAKER_00
And really get into it.
5
SPEAKER_00
Number 22, Coachella.
5
SPEAKER_00
Hear me out.
5
SPEAKER_00
I do think that it s starting to lose its cultural significance, you know?
5
SPEAKER_00
For so long, it was like such a big deal what everyone was wearing to Coachella.
5
SPEAKER_00
It was the hot destination to go.
5
SPEAKER_00
It was like almost a national holiday.
5
SPEAKER_00
Everybody was looking.
5
SPEAKER_00
How s everyone s Coachella performances?
5
SPEAKER_00
How s everyone s Coachella outfits?
5
SPEAKER_00
Everyone s eyes were on Coachella.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s already started to fade.
5
SPEAKER_00
But I think in 2024, it s going to reach a new level of being out of the zeitgeist, but not in a bad way.
5
SPEAKER_00
And that s where the nuance of it all comes in, okay?
5
SPEAKER_00
Coachella will always be successful.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s always going to be one of the main music festivals, if not the main music festival in the United States.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s not going to change.
5
SPEAKER_00
But I think its cultural significance is going to be one-fiftieth of what it was in 2014 to 2018.
5
SPEAKER_00
I think the world is not going to be looking at it.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I actually think that s good because I think that that s going to make the festival more enjoyable.
5
SPEAKER_00
People are really going to be going for the music, for the experience.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s going to be less about what everyone s wearing and more about just enjoying being there.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I think that that is going to be actually great.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s going to be less about the optics of it all and more about just being there and enjoying it.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I think that s going to be more enjoyable for the attendees and more enjoyable for the people who used to watch through the screen.
5
SPEAKER_00
Because I know before I went to Coachella, I had such bad FOMO about it for some reason.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like I always had horrific FOMO about it.
5
SPEAKER_00
I wanted to be there so bad.
5
SPEAKER_00
And what a relief it is to remove a FOMO event from society.
5
SPEAKER_00
The last thing we need to feel is FOMO, because it s not actually a rational feeling most of the time.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s not really that fun.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s not actually that great.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s not as great as it looks on Instagram.
5
SPEAKER_00
So I actually think this is a positive thing for Coachella and for society, for us to just stop putting it on this pedestal, you know, and to make it just what it is, a fun music festival for people to go to.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if I m going to go this year.
5
SPEAKER_00
I ve been really trying to decide.
5
SPEAKER_00
Coachella is like a part of my being for some reason.
5
SPEAKER_00
It goes against my personality.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t feel like I scream Coachella girl, but for some reason, I have looked forward to it so deeply ever since I was a teenager and I started going.
5
SPEAKER_00
I ve always loved it, but I was like, maybe this year I ll take a year off.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t know, probably not.
5
SPEAKER_00
I ll probably end up there.
5
SPEAKER_00
I always do.
5
SPEAKER_00
But we ll see.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m definitely not gonna put any effort into my outfits if I do go.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like, it s no effort.
5
SPEAKER_00
It is no effort this year if I do go.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s a white tank top.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s jeans.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
5
SPEAKER_00
That s it.
5
SPEAKER_00
Okay, 23.
5
SPEAKER_00
Checking bags at the airport.
5
SPEAKER_00
Mm-mm.
5
SPEAKER_00
I have been using exclusively a carry-on for almost a year now, if not over a year actually, and it has changed my life.
5
SPEAKER_00
I will travel for weeks and weeks and only live out of a carry-on.
5
SPEAKER_00
And all you need to do to do that is just to pack a bunch of versatile pieces that all match each other.
5
SPEAKER_00
and do laundry while you re traveling.
5
SPEAKER_00
You might need to head to the laundromat.
5
SPEAKER_00
Some hotels have laundry service.
5
SPEAKER_00
You might need to use that, but it s so worth it.
5
SPEAKER_00
It is so worth it.
5
SPEAKER_00
It makes traveling so quick, so easy.
5
SPEAKER_00
You never have to worry about losing your luggage.
5
SPEAKER_00
It elevates the experience in a way that I can t even begin to express, okay?
5
SPEAKER_00
Listen, a one-off trip where you re like going to the Bahamas for three weeks, okay,
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, maybe check a bag maybe, but it s like you don t need to.
5
SPEAKER_00
And it s so nice to travel light.
5
SPEAKER_00
It makes the whole day so much easier.
5
SPEAKER_00
I think checking bags is out.
5
SPEAKER_00
Number 26, working from bed.
5
SPEAKER_00
I love working in bed, and I work from home, so I can do almost all my work in bed.
5
SPEAKER_00
A lot of my work is me doing things on my computer.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s me editing a YouTube video.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s me doing emails.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s me doing Zoom calls.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s me writing podcast outlines.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s me doing research about things.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s me writing down a bunch of different ideas, like conceptualizing things.
5
SPEAKER_00
A lot of it can happen in bed.
5
SPEAKER_00
And not everyone has that sort of situation, so this might not apply to everyone, but I think too much time in bed is so bad.
5
SPEAKER_00
And so I m hopeful that 2024 is all about working at a desk, not spending too much time in bed.
5
SPEAKER_00
And last but not least, it s so out to compare yourself to people that you see on social media.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m done doing it.
5
SPEAKER_00
I think we should all be done doing it.
5
SPEAKER_00
We know better now.
5
SPEAKER_00
We all know better now.
5
SPEAKER_00
We know that it s not an accurate depiction of reality.
5
SPEAKER_00
We all know that.
5
SPEAKER_00
And I think that we re all becoming vividly aware of it enough to soon just stop doing it altogether, almost.
5
SPEAKER_00
Not altogether, it s not possible.
5
SPEAKER_00
But I think it s out in 2024.
5
SPEAKER_00
I do, because I think we all know better.
5
SPEAKER_00
We re all too good for that shit.
5
SPEAKER_00
We re all too smart.
5
SPEAKER_00
We need to stop.
5
SPEAKER_00
In the beginning, it was hard because we took everything at face value and we didn t know any better.
5
SPEAKER_00
Nowadays, come on.
5
SPEAKER_00
We know better.
5
SPEAKER_00
We know about Facetune.
5
SPEAKER_00
We know about how everything is just the highlight reel.
5
SPEAKER_00
We know that.
5
SPEAKER_00
So it s time to set that free and to stop doing that.
5
SPEAKER_00
And if we want to be competitive with other people, if we want to sort of compare ourselves to others in a way that s
5
SPEAKER_00
whatever, at least do it in person.
5
SPEAKER_00
Even then, we shouldn t, but still.
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t think it s terrible to compare in a way that s constructive.
5
SPEAKER_00
I think the way that we grow and improve ourselves is by comparing ourselves to other people and seeing what they do versus what we do and becoming better as a result.
5
SPEAKER_00
But on social media, it s almost never useful because it s not realistic.
5
SPEAKER_00
We re comparing ourselves to something unrealistic.
5
SPEAKER_00
If we re going to do that, I think it s best to do that in person.
5
SPEAKER_00
I think online comparing, fuck it, it s over.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s over.
5
SPEAKER_00
Sorry, it s over.
5
SPEAKER_00
We re done with it.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s out.
5
SPEAKER_00
And that s it.
5
SPEAKER_00
Those are my 2024 ins and outs.
5
SPEAKER_00
Please let me know what you think.
5
SPEAKER_00
The Instagram for Anything Goes is at anythinggoes and you can let me know what you think there.
5
SPEAKER_00
And that s all I have.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s all I have for today.
5
SPEAKER_00
I really appreciate you all hanging out and spending time with me today.
5
SPEAKER_00
It means the absolute world to me and we always have fun.
5
SPEAKER_00

5
SPEAKER_00
And I love us for that.
5
SPEAKER_00

5

5
SPEAKER_00
My Instagram is at Emma Chamberlain.

SPEAKER_00
We have delicious coffee, canned lattes, matcha, all the beverages, hot chocolate, chai, all the fun beverages that you love ordering at a cafe, you can make them at home with Chamberlain Coffee.
5

5
SPEAKER_00
So go to ChamberlainCoffee.com, order online, or see if we re in a store near you using the store locator.
5
SPEAKER_00
And that s all she wrote, people.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s all she wrote.
5
SPEAKER_00
Again, I love and appreciate all of you very deeply, and I will talk to you very soon.
5
SPEAKER_00
Okay, bye.
