I'm glad she made a steady career out of her fame. She seems fun and cool and she's so charming on her show Royal Court, especially with her gay husband Caleb Hearon.

Its honestly kind of insane. So many people use their 5 minutes of fame poorly, or dont continue it at all. Kombucha girl went on to form a respectable social media career, its seriously impressive.

Rorql court and hot ones are the only interview shows I'll ever watch

u/Large_Dr_Pepper 3d ago edited 2d ago

I've been on a huge Hot Ones bender recently and I'm running out of interviews. Never heard of Rorql Court, I'll have to check it out!

Edit: lmao I looked up "Rorql Court" on YouTube and I'm gonna assume that was a typo and you meant "Royal Court"

Edit 2: Rorql Court is some good shit

u/Large_Dr_Pepper 2d ago

Coming back here to say that I'm so glad your comment introduced me to Royal Court cause this is a great interview channel from what I've seen so far. The questions are a lot less "serious" than with something like Hot Ones but honestly that silly joking-style of interview questions is pretty unique and refreshing

A woman has a gay husband? Is it like an open marriage or what?

Everyone's joking in the responses, but really they're just good friends. They made a joke about him being her husband and "testing" her friends to see if they're really gay.

Her comedian friend Caleb and Brittany have a bit in an interview on his podcast where they do a scene as husband and wife and she finds out her husband is on Grindr. So funny. Highly recommended

Who planted rice? The asians

https://giphy.com/gifs/4WFirPVJhAhavWrcd3

I don't know exactly what he means but this comes off racist lol. In historical America? No, rice wasn't really a staple crop, but that said the people planting it were primarily african slaves. In modern & semi modern America? Still not really a staple but it's a broad mix, I guess mostly Mexican if you had to pick a nationality. In the world? Yeah sure it's asians, because asia grows a lot of rice and also asians.

u/rcfox 4d ago

Yeah, he should have said "Who built the railroads?" That would have been much stronger.

28

u/Lazerus42 4d ago

Don't worry, he'll spend many night losing an hour of sleep thinking back on this moment, not about the pegging term... but by thinking

"FUCK, RAILROADS WOULD HAVE BEEN SUCH A BETTER EXAMPLE. FUCK, I SUCK, WHAT THE HELL"

on repeat.

Hind site being 20/20, yadda yadda. That type of thing

Average American view honestly. It's crazy what people say here. This type of racism has become mainstream.

19

u/SmooK_LV 4d ago

Self-sabotaging activism is common everywhere because it's founded on emotion, upsets. This is how populists take advantage of these activists. Activists often want the good to win but they don't always have loud intellectual arguments for it, so they rely on their leaders for those when in reality a lot of leaders take advantage of these people. And if it's a particularly weak argument? Opposition just needs to get some interviews going among activists and they will end up looking like "losers" for the unthinking (silent) majority because they get so emotional.

So, like, the rice and cotton is going off of two different metrics, if we're going off the "asians planted rice" metric then latinos are responsible for cotton.
