Chapter 1: What happened during Carrie Underwood's inauguration performance?

2257.524 - 2274.375 Jackie Oshry

Oh my God. I actually was mortified. I could only imagine what it was like being there because, and honestly, like shame on the event planners for not getting a security guard and just like, okay, it would have caused a scene for one second. It went on. You would not believe it. I think the whole thing start to finish was 10 minutes. Like it was really long.

0

2274.395 - 2288.523 Claudia Oshry

And it's just like, how is this still happening? We're like texting. I could not believe what I was watching. And even if you watch it now, like you'll see what he did, but like that feeling of it happening live and it- would not end was so crazy. And he's walking on the stage talking to everyone. By the time, and security's coming, they take his mic stand, they take his clothes.

0

2288.543 - 2291.883 Claudia Oshry

This guy was ill-equipped. The guy was ill-equipped. He wasn't security, he was like a stage manager.

0

2291.963 - 2304.587 Jackie Oshry

Yes, he wasn't because somebody needed to give him a frosk and grab him by the arm and escort because he kept going the wrong way. Whether it was on purpose or not, he could not find the exit. of this facility. And he wasn't trying. He wasn't looking for it.

0

2305.067 - 2313.97 Claudia Oshry

No, but even when he went down those stairs, I think he thought like he was leaving kissing on all the fans and taking pictures. Like he's princess Diana. Like it was so crazy.

2313.99 - 2329.322 Jackie Oshry

You guys, it was seriously the craziest thing I'd ever seen in my life. It was disgraceful. Like seriously to every, it was a slap in the face to every American. It was in my lifetime in like, in terms of like crazy performances, Top three craziest I'd ever seen.

2329.722 - 2336.567 Claudia Oshry

Craziest I've ever seen. Like it was traitorous to our country. Yes, it was Benedict Ray Cyrus.

2339.389 - 2355.601 Jackie Oshry

It was so crazy. And now I feel like I have a lot more understanding because while we've gotten a lot of intel on what's going on with the family's Cyrus drama, we don't know for sure. We just know that there's like a divide between like Billy Ray and everyone. And then there's also that weird thing where like maybe Noah dated her mom's boyfriend, but-

2356.943 - 2376.586 Jackie Oshry

I now have like a deeper understanding of like how you actually can't communicate or have a relationship with somebody who's that far gone. And I have to imagine that he was on some sort of alcohol or drug. Because that's really not how human beings behave. I genuinely hope that he gets the help that he needs because it was a cry for help.

Chapter 2: What went wrong with Billy Ray Cyrus's performance?

Chapter 3: How did Justin Bieber handle being hacked?

407.545 - 421.494 Jackie Oshry

Like, I don't think it's that. I just think it's like psychological. Like we hyped this thing up so hard. And then it came back and it's just an app like with dumb videos. Like I, it's just been, it's been really crazy. Like, and I actually, I'm kind of over like the whole conversation. I don't even care anymore.

0

421.795 - 436.185 Jackie Oshry

And not me telling everyone like, cause you know, I'm kind of like a social media expert, you know? Like, so when I was with a bunch of my friends on Saturday, they're like, do you think like it's going to come back? Like, what do you think? And I was so adamant. I'm like, there's no way Trump is going to bring it back. Like this was his thing. He hates TikTok. He hates China. Like this is like,

0

437.526 - 445.233 Jackie Oshry

This is like the Trump thing. And I'm like, guys, it's definitely not like being so like speaking with such conviction cut to like literally three hours later, it's back up. Like I'm embarrassed.

0

445.253 - 455.223 Claudia Oshry

He said recently that he didn't want it to go away. He said more recently, like, yes, four years ago, he said like national security issues. Then more recently he was like, we want to make, find a way to make it work.

0

Chapter 4: What is the latest on Spencer Pratt's beef with Alex Cooper?

455.743 - 472.779 Jackie Oshry

Yeah, no, I was just like speaking with like the utmost conviction. And I think people like, you know, like the respect when I say when it not comes to everything, obviously, but like TikTok, like, yeah, she knows probably. And I was like, guys, it's not coming back. Like, say your goodbyes. Travis has never met Taylor. Correct. It's giving Travis has never met Taylor.

0

473.039 - 489.255 Claudia Oshry

Well, I thought it was coming back imminently. I did not expect it to only be 14 hours. So on that, I wasn't right either. The whole thing was just like really lame for everyone. Really lame and exhausting and seeing the same content like from every individual over and over again, like of them saying goodbye. The screenshot of TikTok me.

0

489.655 - 507.567 Claudia Oshry

the screenshot of TikTok oh my god adjusting to reels hey how y'all doing when it comes back like I am moved on fatigued for sure um and like as for the future of TikTok like genuinely I don't care anymore like they've officially made me not care which I guess is good

0

508.411 - 531.158 Jackie Oshry

And I think let this be a lesson to people who make a living on TikTok, whether that's like through TikTok shop or your content creator. Diversify your platforms. We have 90 days now. That's three months. Like really get to work because this is a platform that is like kind of finicky. Like it's here, it's there, it's not there. It's China, it's America. Like you've been given a warning.

0

531.358 - 532.859 Jackie Oshry

So now you have three months to hustle.

533.53 - 540.976 Claudia Oshry

We could do YouTube, we could bring it on Reels. Come on over to Reels, the water's warm. The more time you spend on Reels, the better it gets for you. I think that's what people are noticing.

541.076 - 559.548 Jackie Oshry

And this was my biggest disappointment because I feel like it was such a wasted opportunity for Instagram because we have known for like a real month now that like TikTok has this date. And the fact that Instagram didn't do what they usually do and just copy TikTok's algorithm, their format, everything, we would have moved over.

Chapter 5: What did Rachael Kirkconnell's sister reveal about her breakup with Matt James?

559.568 - 571.536 Jackie Oshry

Like if it was even remotely similar, it wouldn't have been such a big deal for TikTok to go. But like when Instagram came out with Instagram stories, like we were all like, oh, this sucks. And then we all just eventually transitioned over and stopped using Snapchat stories. They do this thing where they copy everyone and we all make fun of them.

0

571.596 - 591.849 Jackie Oshry

And then we end up becoming, you know, primary storytellers on Instagram. So I didn't understand why, like, cause we were left with nothing. Reels, I'm sorry. And I know you like love it. It is not a... sufficient alternative to TikTok. Not only is the algorithm not as smart, I don't really feel like it targets what I need to see. The interface is not as user-friendly.

0

592.17 - 603.076 Jackie Oshry

Why didn't they spend the last month doing their usual control C, control V? Copy that shit. I thought that was a wasted opportunity from the man who's known for copying other competitive platforms.

0

604.837 - 622.382 Claudia Oshry

Why do you think that is? Well, I just have some thoughts. Maybe... A couple things. First, I do think the more that you use Reels, the more the content is tailored to you. Like right now, I like the things that I see, but I also, I'm not on TikTok, so it's not like I have the two to compare it to. I don't know what an even better algorithm for me is.

0

622.482 - 638.329 Claudia Oshry

But I also like that the algorithm on Reels isn't as addicting as you say TikTok is because I will inevitably spend less time on it, and so I think that's good. Why Mark Zuckerberg doesn't want me to spend more time on Reels and doesn't want me to be as addicted, I don't know, but overall, I'm happy with the product because of those reasons. because of those reasons.

639.169 - 651.032 Jackie Oshry

I think that I wouldn't have been surprised. I think what the cool thing about TikTok is, is that like you're seeing content from people you really don't know. And when you scroll your Instagram feed, it's people you follow. Yeah, they sprinkle in like things you might like, and it's never something I would even be remotely interested in.

651.832 - 662.975 Jackie Oshry

I wish that they had, well, now the opportunity is lost, but if they had created like a second feed where you could swipe and see like, you know, people you don't follow, things you might be interested, just like a feed of not your following, but just a...

Chapter 6: What can we expect from Trevor Noah hosting the Grammy Awards?

664.178 - 682.914 Claudia Oshry

Well, when you go to your explore page and you click a video here, I get so much like Sabrina Carpenter. Oh yeah, when you scroll down. And then you start scrolling. I don't know who any of these people are. I guess, yeah, like that's their definition of the FYP. It's just, it doesn't hit the same. That's where you go for outside content.

0

683.234 - 703.497 Jackie Oshry

Okay. Like, I don't know why I like only get slime. I don't, I don't partake in slime culture. There's so much slime and I don't know. It's just TikTok knows me better than I know Claude South. Yeah. And that's what I'll miss. Well, it's back. There's nothing to miss. There's nothing to miss. It's back. We also, I meant to tell you, have your toasters today, and they are so crazy.

0

Chapter 7: What advice did the hosts give in the Dear Toasters segment?

704.197 - 712.18 Claudia Oshry

Okay, good. We also have a lot of stories today, and I watched the Molly Mae documentary this weekend. First three episodes dropped. We're getting clarity.

0

712.34 - 715.961 Jackie Oshry

Oh, it's first three. I thought it was three total. I'm like, that's a lot of hoopla for, you know.

0

716.602 - 734.369 Claudia Oshry

First three episodes dropped. Next three drop in the spring, but they showed the previews for the next three, and there's footage from January 1st where she sees everyone seeing her kissing Tommy on New Year's Eve. Oh. The turnaround, they got me there good. I mean, they are from Love Island. Like we are used to tight turnaround from these two. And like technically you filmed this two weeks ago.

0

734.409 - 751.405 Claudia Oshry

Like put it on my screen. It shouldn't be so hard. Yet you find that it is for other people. So here's what's going on between the two of them. And a lot of it was shrouded in mystery in the early episodes, and I wish they would have been a little more clear. They're like, what Tommy did, what Tommy does. I'm like, what does Tommy do? What did he do?

0

751.425 - 768.939 Claudia Oshry

Yeah, no, I hate when there's like this big thing. It's like, just say it. So here's what I've pieced together. He obviously has turned to alcohol since being injured from fighting, and then drinking was ruining their relationship. I don't know exactly what he was doing at family functions, why she had to beg him not to drink at her sister's wedding, what he would have done. What does he do?

768.959 - 770.32 Jackie Oshry

It's just being embarrassing, like...

770.92 - 795.076 Claudia Oshry

what like drunk or angry drunk saying embarrassing things like how drunk people do yes but i just don't know which exact one it was but like he was drinking all the time making like half the time their relationship was just so terrible because he'd be drinking the other half like she really loves him like really really does she couldn't keep doing the cycle anymore and she knew she had to break up with him but if she didn't announce it she would have never followed through with it so when she posted that over the summer

795.956 - 804.43 Claudia Oshry

It was like a slow roll last resort, not just like Tommy came home drunk. I'm breaking up with him. She posted it and really did it like to hold herself accountable.

805.276 - 828.537 Claudia Oshry

in like leaving him you need to get help however throughout the documentary she shares like the reason why I haven't been crying and I'm not like totally a mess over this is because like I believe we're gonna get back together so that like comes out later in the episodes and you start to see how like they're working towards being back together he's not in it once except for on the phone and just like talking about Bambi I think in the second half it will be more about them
