Chapter 1: What petty grievances are discussed?
We're in New York City. We came up here, as you all know, to film with the fabulous ladies of The View, which, that was pretty cool. I mean, Whoopi Goldberg, E. Gottlieb. Yeah, that was crazy. And so, because we want to stay on schedule, we are filming up here in New York to make sure everybody's petty grievances are tended to, nurtured, rocked, and coddled. Pumps, what have you had it with?
OK, what I've had it with is when I buy something online and then 30 days later, I get the same thing because I've automatically been signed up for a subscription when I didn't sign up for a subscription. And I will tell you, the first time it happened, I thought it was user error. I thought, oh, it's me. I'm doing it. And then it's happened again and again.
And I've gone back into the website and I've done a complete forensic accounting of this stuff. And when you buy it, it automatically sets you up for the subscription. And I've had it. And then they make unsubscribing. You're like, hit unsubscribe. And they're like, what can we do to keep you? And I was like, this was a one off. This was a one night stand.
And you're trying to turn it into a relationship. And I never wanted that. So quit, leave me alone. I want to buy something. I want it to be a one-off. I want to be done. I don't want to subscribe. I think it's bullshit in the highest order.
All right. Let me ask you a few questions. Okay. Did this start around January 20th?
And I'm not just saying this, but it did. Yes, it did. This is what happened. It's the grifting in Trump's America.
It's Trump's America. Because I remember right before Biden left office, it was like, we're making it a law to where you can cancel any subscription with one click. Right. You know, these gyms will make it where you have to go in in person. Kylie's got that rogue tanning membership she's had for years that she spends like 75 bucks a month on. She never uses.
But in order to cancel it, she has to go do it in person. And I think this is a Trump's America issue. And he's eviscerating what remains of any form of consumer protections or as Republicans call them, regulations. And I think there's just going to be more of this. I think you're going to have to fasten your seatbelt.
This is the first of many things that consumers are going to take it up. You know what?

Chapter 2: What are subscription frustrations?
In all sincerity, we share a lot of our struggles that led us to this grand stage where we can talk about petty grievances. You can click the link below in the show notes to pre-order your copy now. And now we have some news articles that I found interesting. Kylie, pop up the first one. Okay, this is crazy. This is nuts. Okay, schools remove analog clocks as teenagers can't tell time.
Some UK schools are replacing analog clocks in exam halls because students struggle to tell time. Teachers say digital clocks reduce stress, but critics argue it's a sign of declining basic skills. Are traditional clocks becoming extinct? Okay, so Pimps, what's your take on this? Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?
Okay, here's the deal. I have noticed my kids cannot tell time on an analog clock, and I find it to be absolutely the downfall of humanity that people can't tell time on a real clock. Like, just learn it. You need to know. I mean, I just, I understand everything's digital, but how are you going to know what time it is if you're looking at Big Ben?
How are you going to know what time it is if there's batteries died or electricity? I mean, I just, it's so basic. I mean, they don't teach them cursive now. I just... I just think educational skills, we're just losing it.
I don't like the surrender. I just feel like this is a total surrender and I'm especially disappointed that this is the UK. I mean, if this is Mississippi or our state of Oklahoma, I get it. I mean, the standards, the bar, depressingly low. But the UK, I mean, I just, I don't like the surrender and you brought up Big Ben.
I mean, that's all the more reason to tell, you know, like we have one of the most iconic landmarks in the world and it's a clock. And you little shits, you little plots, as they would say over there, need to learn how to tell time. I do not like this British surrender one bit. I don't like the surrender. It would not take very much time to teach them how to tell time.
I don't like the surrender of it. No, I don't either. Some things are cool, like a clock. It's a cool thing. And it's not that hard to know. It's not rocket science.
No, it's not. It's not hard. I mean, it's... The whole thing, it's just, we're too dependent on all of this, like digital and social media and internet and all that. It's just learn the basics. Then you can go from there.
Okay. Kylie, what's the next one? Okay. Almost 50% of men aged 18 to 25 have never asked a woman out in person. This trend is attributed to increased risk aversion among younger men with many fearing rejection or social consequences, while 74% of women aged 25 and below expressed a desire to be approached more often.
