Mess Magnets: Vending Messchine

[00:00:16] Hi, I'm Sasha. And this is Mess Magnets. We're back baby. And back on YouTube on the Rob Has a Podcast YouTube. We recorded a video last week with Bryce and the number of people who are like oh you're back because they didn't know that we record every week because we have been in hag mode and not recording on video. So so in case you didn't know or maybe you didn't realize you now have

[00:00:45] episodes years worth of episodes to catch up on because we are in fact a weekly pop culture podcast. I wonder what the experience of listening to like the first couple episodes of Mess Magnets would be like now almost two years in. Someone tell us. Yeah because I sure won't be listening. Absolutely not. Um okay Sasha you said that we had some new reviews last time.

[00:01:15] I'm just going to break my brain because I'm literally on it. Yes so first we have one where it's Noel 80 says Pouya is good at mess or so good at mess. Pouya is such a great guest he fully gets the assignment. And listen we are so grateful for Pouya. Yes. Thank you for coming in. We have another one that's Emi Nakahad that says informative which again we are the news. Thank you. That says since listening to Mess Magnets I finally scored

[00:01:44] an 11 out of 11 on the New York Times weekly quiz up from my average of seven points. What? Look at us. This podcast is no joke. It's also the news that's fit to print. Someone please. Wow I love that. Add this as our tagline. The news that's fit to print. That's us.

[00:02:07] Thank you. And then from Jay Drain. No mess. Yes. Five stars. Came for the mess. Stayed for the hard-hitting analysis. Honestly two in a row. I love this for all of us. You get it. Okay I love this. Oh my god. And then we have another one on um last week from Michael Horn 23 that says we're back

[00:02:31] baby. Um how many people are now saying that? I it's so funny because it's like we didn't make it up. We're not the first people even on this network. No. To I think like we we have a little bit different intonation but like yes I feel like we made it a thing. I trendsetters. It's like during COVID when people thought like found out about White Claw because of me even the White Claw wasn't even new.

[00:03:03] You the trendsetter and I love that for mess. For influencers. Michael says listening to Sasha and Kirsten each week feels like I'm gossiping with my girlfriends in the best way. We all need a 90 minute escape from the heavy news focus to focus on the mess and this is the perfect place for that. Everyone should be a messenger. Period. Dear friends. Let your people know. That is definitely the vibe. Like that makes me feel that we have understood the assignment correctly. Correct. Because that's

[00:03:32] exactly what we want to be. Your pop culture besties talking about all the stuff that you wouldn't get to talk about. Anyone else? I love and I don't know if we have any on Canada side but um we need to figure out how to go back to our worldwide review. I know I'm so up like charitable being gone is literally a nightmare. I'm pretty sure we don't have any new ones in Canada. So

[00:03:58] this is if you are a messenger in Canada listening leave us a five-star reading and review. Please we beg. Thank you. Okay we need it. That's all I know. And um we you know we're trying to figure out anonymous as well. Oops all anonymous. We're working on it. Our ghost our uh our guests that we want to ghost us so we'll have to message them again. You have to message this time. I'll message this time.

[00:04:24] Don't worry. Uh but yes we're working on it. It's gonna happen as for anyone watching on YouTube you can see we now have branding. Amazing marketing. Love it. It's only three years into the podcast. If that's not mess magnets I don't know what. Well it's if you have to ask for it to get it. So that's okay. But here we are. Are you ready to get to get into some mess Sasha? Let's get into it.

[00:04:53] Okay let's get started. So this is yes this has been everywhere on the internet but I'm assuming especially for the beehive but uh Shakira's world tour has started. Well I don't even know what are the dates for Shakira world. Shakira's what is going on right now. But like when did it start? Did it just start? Great question. Um we should have looked that up. It's fine. I'm looking it up right

[00:05:19] now. So anyways Shakira's tour. Oh yeah. Started. Yes. It just started. That makes sense because I think it has just freaked out. Uh everyone. Immediate front page news for anyone who cares about mess because should I share screen? Oh yes. Please share screen. Oh my god. Because her tour looks familiar.

[00:05:47] Especially to us girlies. That have been. So again if you're not watching um and you're only listening because you know like that's what you're used to. Shakira had said in 2023 that hey I'm taking notes from the renaissance tour. And now if you see what the picture I pulled up uh it's copy paste.

[00:06:12] It's she did it's like when you it's like you see someone's like hey can I copy your homework and yeah just switch it up a little bit except she didn't switch it up. And it's truly to me the funniest thing. Most of the beehive is like laughing about it. Like no one is mad. Everyone just finds this to be so funny because literally it's uh the renaissance tour. Maybe folks had seen the pictures. Maybe you

[00:06:36] saw my pictures. I don't know. But either way it's a renaissance. The word renaissance is in silver and then the background is back and it's one really long um like tv or lcd with a uh like a tunnel in between where Beyonce would go in and out. Like all kinds of stuff would happen in the middle. And Shakira's tour is the same exact thing where it's Shakira in silver. A little bit of a font

[00:07:03] or not even a font change. I think the font feels similar. Yeah it's no Shakira is just less letters. So the font is bigger and there's a little bit more kerning between the letters um to make it fit. Like it's it's crazy. It's word for word um and we love that. And Beyonce of course we used to have

[00:07:24] the renaissance uh Rennie the horse right come through and Shakira has a wolf that comes through. The she-wolf. Yeah exactly. And then when I tell you I saw this website I said oh it's the Beyonce tour website. No this is Shakira's website. To be fair I think like most tour websites are like very

[00:07:51] copy paste. This one is just the same font. This is a you know that typewriter font with like the very basic um rights. But yeah folks other folks can tell me I usually buy tickets to like rap or yeah like or hip-hop R&B type. So feels a little bit different and and like I'm only used to Beyonce but y'all let me

[00:08:15] know. It's yeah I feel like I've seen this website like several times. I think a lot of these are very similar but again it's the exact same font and color scheme which is crazy. Yeah it's I think the font you write is what's throwing me off the most uh and it's just truly so funny. And then this one because it's people are talking about reheating the nachos and I will be muting that word

[00:08:42] from now on. Um but reading the nachos is like great like stealing someone's work and just like taking it as yours. So that's been going around where folks are like she's not even reheat she's reading the nachos too much unplugged the microwave is what this person says because it's literally the aesthetic is Beyonce's renaissance tour where the background dancers are in all

[00:09:07] silver back black sunglasses. Shakira is in a like a grayish silver white you know and again with the glasses that are pretty close to what uh some looks that Beyonce has. Well and this wasn't I feel like Chappelle on recap kickback have mentioned Shakira can be like Beyonce's body double with the way her

[00:09:33] hair like she doesn't have Beyonce's current hair. Yes. But like well in Beautiful Liar right they look the same and when they were doing the moves you couldn't tell who's who. So that's crazy. I just find this to be so funny. It's like I feel like Shakira had that one moment where we she caught her ex cheating because of the jam. Yeah. And we were like yes queen love it and then every single other

[00:10:01] thing I've learned about Shakira since has been like oh like when she was like she had like that weird statement about how she's raising her sons. Yeah. Like there's just been like so many weird things now she's just straight up copying Beyonce. Enough. And I just I can't take it serious like I'm sorry. Here's the picture of Beyonce uh in that silver outfit. Again I don't think the beehive cares

[00:10:30] as much but it's still very funny. Well I think Shakira's lawyers are gonna care once she hears. You think Beyonce will say something? I don't know. I feel like it's not very Beyonce at all. Yeah. To like comment or make anything into a spectacle in that way. Exactly. Um good thing she didn't steal the era's tour looks

[00:10:53] because Taylor Swift would be in court already. That's fair. Oh my gosh. So yes this is what's happening and can I rant just for one second. Unleash it. Here's the thing. Okay. Cowboy Carter tour um obviously is happening right and your girl I feel like was one of the OG Cowboy Carter

[00:11:17] like girlies you know like I believe in that album. I said no that's it. Then and then I got the Bayhive pre-sale and then that Bayhive pre-sale came in and I you know 12 p.m pacific because listen I got to go to LA because it's a very limited tour right it's a rodeo circuit tour so

[00:11:40] it's limited. Fine I get it. I'll go to LA for you girl. Okay why was dynamic pricing turned on for the Bayhive number one. Why are nosebleeds $500? Floor see thousands of dollars. No dynamic pricing should be illegal. No don't piss me off you know what I mean like this was

[00:12:07] so ridiculous I could not believe it and I was so I was like no like not that she lost the fan but like I feel less of her if that makes sense blah blah blah then Verizon and Citibank whatever have their tours. Prices are half half price and I said don't piss me off. And did you get that pre-sale

[00:12:32] you couldn't get tickets? I still not got a ticket. Ah because okay so everyone on the first day like when the Bayhive pre-sale happened I was like okay no one I know got tickets like this is rigged this is so sick and twisted. Can I tell you what Asia said? Sorry Asia for putting you on blast because I did text Asia and Marie. Well and then the next day I saw that Asia and Marie both had tickets so I just kind of was like oh I bet Sasha got tickets too only to now hear that you did not.

[00:12:58] I hate that. No because I am going to the first show like that's the only one so I think it still costs more uh because it's LA and I think again if I if it was in San Francisco I think I would have paid the money but the fact that I have to go to LA pay you know get hotels all that's what's holding me back. So oh my god so I asked the girlies right I said did y'all do it? Asia said for that price she

[00:13:25] better be holding my hand while she's staying. No literally oh me and the thing is the price Asia said I was getting way more than that so I was like where those are cheap compared to what I'm seeing so LA I think is a little bit more but but here's the thing because you know I don't want people being like oh but you can go for one 130 right now. Yes I know but I don't want to be in the

[00:13:54] nosebleeds okay let me be a little bit of a brat. It's like if at the end of the day you end up having to be in the nosebleeds to go you'll do it but it's still early enough that you have hope. Correct and I'm just like I just I can't believe I don't want to pay that much. Honestly what do I do? And I'm like a snob when it comes to concert tickets in general so I don't like to be less than 100

[00:14:24] um so we'll see what happens just pray for me that's what I'll be sending out to the best wishes for you to be getting Beyonce. And I want to make it clear for Renaissance I paid 50% of what people have paid four floor seats and Beyonce was like four four rows in front of me so I that's why I'm pissed the hell off okay that's all but it's okay I'm probably still gonna go to LA. It's just so

[00:14:51] annoying too because it's like it's not like Beyonce was a new artist with the Renaissance tour and that now she's blown like she's been huge for what 35 years I don't even know forever my whole life uh it feels like and so it's like why the switch up like why is this different? She's I think doing less one people are gonna pay that's why well yeah and then two I think she's just doing less

[00:15:18] less um cities sorry but listen I beg that somehow no I don't think like the fact that the west coast the only tour is LA is crazy. You're like micro dosing what it's like to be from Canada. Yeah well listen west coast and Canada we're in this together I'll tell you that oh my god

[00:15:42] and another thing I will say do you think that she is going to have a residency because there were talks of Vegas and Vegas was on the flyer and Vegas is not part of the the tour the circuit. Oh my god well that would be wonderful for you. Mm-hmm it's I feel like it's much easier for and

[00:16:05] cheaper for you to go for a Vegas trip than an LA trip no? Yeah LA would be cheaper so um What's but like aren't hotels like super cheap in Vegas though? Eh kind of I don't I think they used it well if you stay at certain hotels yeah if you get the gambling app on your phone you can get free. That is a truest okay oh my god but yeah it's because I think I don't gamble that I just don't

[00:16:33] think about Vegas like that. Which is so fair uh I've never been so oh my god you must I've been like nowhere in the states so it's just the way it is and now I'm too scared to go to America because these planes be crashing. Prayer okay and every yeah please everyone stay safe don't. I saw a post that was like it is now socially acceptable to clap on the plane. Yes I saw that too and I said correct

[00:19:12] bringing to the table i love and have you heard anything about the poppy vending machine controversy no okay first off do you do you i assume you know what poppy is do you have you ever drank a poppy but i do know what it is i don't think it personally i don't love the taste but i don't like like artificial sugar drinks i like real sugar so it's just not for me and that's fine um so poppy is like a soda that is

[00:19:40] i mean i think they've also had some controversy for acting like it's good for your digestion but it doesn't even actually have any fiber in it so it's just like the claims are a little bit misleading but the big issue is the super bowl this year so poppy did have an ad for the super bowl right which allegedly could have cost eight million dollars for their 60 second commercial because i

[00:20:06] guess it costs four million dollars every 30 seconds allegedly and so they also were sending influencers full on vending machines full of poppy oh my god are they like oh i'm looking at the picture yeah they are straight up it's not even like a full one i'm gonna yeah i'm gonna share my screen now yes

[00:20:32] because look at see this is what we can do when we have video i love us yeah okay so like this is the vending machine like it's like a full vending machine super customized everything's pink they had to be further customized to get or like the payment thing and it's full of poppy and they sent

[00:20:54] it to a ton of influencers ahead of the super bowl okay and there's a few problems okay so first of all pretty much everyone who got a vending machine is what oh how did i know this was coming almost exclusively i don't think it is exclusively but like it's close which was not it's not a great look

[00:21:23] you know because of course and it was also like really really famous obviously it's like very big of a thing and it's going to be really famous people some controversial like alex earl and all her friends kind of vibe right and so everyone's getting these vending machines which like i'd be actually pissed if i got a vending machine as pr because it's like okay cool maybe i'll drink all

[00:21:50] the poppy maybe i won't but what the fuck do you do with a vending machine can i say as the girly one i just i think it's so cute um i think it's excessive and ridiculous and i think i would love it and i hate that about myself like i want to make that clear okay well it's that's okay we'll host too many parties for this to not be a fun party trip yeah having a vending machine like you have

[00:22:17] people over genuinely yeah so um olipop which is another pop company of the same vein where it's like oh this is good for digestion um they are alleging that each vending machine cost 25 000 to produce and poppy is saying no it didn't cost that much blah blah blah blah blah however i was following um

[00:22:41] and there's this influencer on tiktok who explains kind of like the drama of the day of what's going on um her username is at hope you find your dad her name is andra and she was doing some research on the cost of vending machines as someone who works in marketing and it was like the low end is ten thousand dollars and the more customization you do it could go up to thirty thousand at the highest and she's like

[00:23:09] look at this vending machine everything is customized right so allegedly if what olipop said is true or if olipop is in the correct range then they spend over eight hundred thousand dollars on these vending machines right and so people are mad because all these vending machines went to people's private homes

[00:23:31] they didn't get sent to colleges or fitness centers or like public spaces where i feel like if they had put these poppy vending machines in public spaces where people could just get free poppy yeah that gets people's attention and people be excited about it but to send it to 32 influencers and no one else is weird like it could have been uh they could have probably wrote it off to right charity

[00:23:59] um if they gave it to like the ymca the boys and girls club right like those kinds of space hospitals right like i like remember years ago when they had the thing where it was like buy yourself a coke and you could get the coke with your name on it and it would like print it out and i think it was free at like large events yes people lived and died for that and they could have had their moment like that but instead they sent it to people's like private homes and the other thing too is

[00:24:29] when influencers receive all this product generally speaking they get a tax form at the end of the year as if it's income so now all of these influencers are going to get a tax form maybe if i'm correct that says like right i didn't think this is part of your income for the tax year next year which is in like absolutely ludicrous anyways see and this is why i'm so grateful i'm not an influencer because i would immediately have

[00:24:56] been so excited i would i mean i would have been excited too there was also a video that they filmed of giving one to trisha paytas and then they didn't let her keep the vending machine they took it away nuts can you imagine uh the other companies have like no shame you know what i mean like they will

[00:25:19] just like they don't give a damn well and i think the reason why this is hitting so hard is because poppy started out as like the tongue-in-cheek cutie like fun company one of the earliest stories i ever saw about poppy was the owner was on a plane wearing like a custom poppy sweatsuit on the flight they ran into a woman who was like oh my god i love your sweatsuit i love drinking poppy and the owner like

[00:25:47] sent her a free sweatsuit that matched and they would do giveaways all the time the owner of the company would be posting just like her face in the videos and they would really give pr to smaller influencers and all of that and then the second the brand took off it's all celebrities on their tiktok they don't they just like completely abandoned kind of the grassroots that they originally had

[00:26:13] and people are mad because a lot of people who previously got pr from poppy noticed that they stopped receiving pr shortly after making statements around the u.s election about supporting women's rights no and issues like that and so that's extra troubling because poppy has always presented itself

[00:26:36] as like a feminist company right dude and so it's it's so annoying it's so troubling and then the the owner of poppy did like one of her classic tiktoks like talking to the camera she's like it wouldn't be me if i didn't just talk about it with you and like let's go over it and at first it seems like she's giving a good response but she's like sorting this out but then when she actually starts

[00:27:03] talking she immediately is like so much misinformation is out there just immediately calling people liars um basically just saying that everything that olipop said about the price is not true and like doesn't take any accountability doesn't say anything that they could have done differently and then just goes okay well the vending machines are going to be a part of poppy moving forward so like if you guys

[00:27:28] have better advice on where they should go like let us know like hey tiktok can you do the work for us and tell us who should be receiving free right all these people are about to give marketing ideas for free and here's my free advice put it in a damn hospital yeah or like on a college campus and actually give people free olipop that would be so exciting oh poppy poppy oops anyways i would

[00:27:56] support olipop over poppy personally yeah apparently we're at olipop anyway olipop call me oh my god give us but yeah so that is like the current like that has been really big on tiktok in the past week and i've been going down the rabbit hole ever since the super bowl about this and i realized it was like the perfect low stakes mess to bring to me this is it next time if you see a poppy vending machine you must

[00:28:24] tweet it to kirsten yeah well skeet it on blue sky of course but yes we call it that okay there's nothing better to call it unfortunately about it on blue sky thank you that's so anyway okay well we will move on to the other tiktok mess that has been sending me down a rabbit hole this past week and that is

[00:28:46] the walmart heart shaped cakes have you seen anything about this no okay so walmart started selling in their bakery section heart shaped cakes they're about 25 dollars there it's a small cake it's twenty five dollars oh yeah those are see yeah yeah yeah they're super cute right but people are mad

[00:29:11] and it's gotten crazy first of all i love heart shaped cakes i think they're so cute oh my god i love it so much and so people went crazy for them really excited about them people in addition would buy the heart shaped cake and like scrape off kind of walmart frosting and

[00:29:33] like customize it and make them even nicer right yeah um like at uh spill dot the dot chai chi chi chai is chai i guess yeah like spill the tea right because chai is tea yeah but that's not how you spell it right yeah chai okay i was like it doesn't it's not spelled right um and so like she did that as well

[00:29:58] um but small business owner bakers got mad oh which is like okay it's fine like walmart has a history of hurting small business and that's fine however obviously the cakes at walmart like i'm sure they taste great like a sheet cake from the grocery store is delicious i period correct if you don't think they can be go to costco right yeah but obviously like the frosting and the decoration and everything is

[00:30:26] going to be at a lower level to keep it at that 25 price point to be affordable right and so this one creator at birdie's bakery okay said that she finds comments complaining about the price of cakes highly disrespectful to everybody putting so much time and effort into their cakes uh especially when having a birthday cake is a luxury not a need and so now it has become this debate of

[00:30:56] do poor people deserve to have a birthday cake which is crazy yeah obviously you can have an argument that like everything outside of basic food and water and like shelter is a is a luxury if you really want to because if you want to be a human being you should also have things that will help you like thrive yes survive like what are we doing here and so the idea that a birthday cake like yes i would say a super

[00:31:25] fancy yes uh birthday cake from like a very fancy baker with high quality ingredients yeah that's a luxury for sure but everyone deserves to have a birthday cake like is it the first thing on maslow's hierarchy of

[00:31:43] needs no obviously not but like be so serious right and so a lot of businesses that make cakes and other baking businesses really got big during covid with the rise of tick tock and being able to do you know time lapses of decorating cakes yeah and you know the cost of all of that and it made it possible for people

[00:32:09] to display and sell their work and start these businesses however now the price of ingredients has gone up a lot for example eggs yeah um and so and but also even before the price of the ingredients went up you can't compete with a walmart price that exactly because like that's the whole walmart

[00:32:33] they don't pay their people they don't let them take any breaks i allegedly the starting salary in the walmart bakery is 19 an hour which is like not great but is significantly higher than the minimum wage yeah the bakery might be fine because they i think they have a better time than other walmart employees um and so then i don't even know where you can find this i'm like looking up heart shape birthday cake

[00:33:05] i know i literally am like i'm like should i go to walmart and buy a heart shape cake i know i'm like i mean i i unfortunately live in a food desert so my walmart um definitely is not stocked with that but i'm fascinated to see that is i didn't know that you live in a food so wait how far you have to go to buy groceries no i mean um thankfully there are other like grocery stores it's just like they're a little bit

[00:33:28] more expensive um but you could like we do coupon like as in the app has a lot of good coupons it's called safeway so they have a lot of good stuff um so it's fine and we're lucky that we can afford stuff but it's really terrible i live in one of the last few like not mega gentrified neighborhoods crazy well um say we do have safeway in canada yeah and it's expensive exactly actually don't piss me

[00:33:58] off because there's two main grocery stores in my area and one is called thrifty foods and the other is called save on foods and let me tell you i'm not saving on any foods the foods are not thrifty the prices do not reflect the name and it pissed me off yeah it always is like that i swear oh my god why are you calling it that they might as well call it like joe's cheap grocery emporium and then

[00:34:22] everything's a million dollars yep even though like indian uh grocery store here is expensive but it's still like cheaper than everyone else is crazy um but yes so now it's just descended into a total debate on if people deserve to have birthday cakes or not and what makes a cake worth a hundred dollars versus twenty five dollars oh this is like taylor's oldest time and it's it's such a classic it's a

[00:34:50] classic story i feel like something like this happens at least once a year where people get really mad but i just something about these cutie little heart-shaped cakes has really gotten me down the rabbit hole i i i will say because i have been traveling um and because i have been so into like events right

[00:35:13] that's like what i do for a living and and i had a wedding um so wedding cakes were big i can't help but laugh because cakes are so expensive and like i can't even be mad because i really do think that it's you know it's an art i couldn't do it uh like i can't decorate anything um but it really is so expensive it's wild how expensive but like i understand why it's expensive and especially for

[00:35:42] like a big event or a wedding or something like obviously the cake is going to cost more it's a much bigger production at the same time at my one auntie's wedding literally three of the sisters each made a tier of cake in a like type of cake that's like big in their family then they wrapped it in i'm not sure what it was maybe just uh i can't remember what it's called fondant maybe just whatever and then

[00:36:09] the last remaining sister put fresh flowers on the cake and honestly it was beautiful uh i love that and so like there are there are cost-effective ways to get that look yeah and well that's where like i do think yeah if you can afford a more expensive cake great do it and if you can't you can't but and the people who can't are used to figuring out ways to get what they want for the money that they have

[00:36:36] yeah and the thing is like we cannot what you should be mad about is not um folks that can't afford one thing versus the other we should be mad that folks are ever in a position where they can't afford regular food or groceries or whatever and we should be mad at the systems for paying people less money or not even less money but paying people below minimum wage uh or basic ass minimum wage like seven

[00:37:01] dollars an hour i can't believe that that's still the yeah the minimum wage in america you want to be mad at something there you go be mad at that much like everything we talk about on mess magnets be mad at the system hard hitting news right i love it no i love it i saw tiktok today where someone was saying yes your coverage of blake uh and justin is political because everything is political deal with

[00:37:31] it and i feel like that's the line of mess magnets sometimes yeah it's like we're trying to be cute and fluffy and nice and then it'll be like but also but also we've lost the ability to be normal and so we really we go down the path um okay we've got some quick bites to talk about as well this is more of like a normal length episode of mess i know so sorry about if you only showed up laughing

[00:38:00] it's fine oh my god okay the first one is an update on your girl oh my god i'm sorry this is so funny um so let's talk oh god this is like this girl this lady let's talk about onajah this the first line of this article

[00:38:26] on andrew robinson the american woman who traveled to pakistan to marry a 19 year old boy she met online appears to have gone off the radar yes and that's why i had to bring this up so last time where we left things off was hey she's now finally gotten on a plane to new york right like after pakistan and everything like the princess of pakistan whatever she'd been doing down there now it turns out she never

[00:38:50] no she did not fix nothing and unfortunately not only has she not gone back to new york she ends up just getting off the plane in dubai and she's now been in dubai acting a mess i okay but here's what i would like okay they didn't want they had security reasons to not allow

[00:39:18] her to take her 15 hour flight and i'm confusion about that they basically because she has overstayed her visa right so she's if you're letting her then now come to your country and that equals highly likely to yeah but like i thought i thought she was at the airport so why wouldn't they just like escort her to her gate and make her get on the plane to new york that's what i'm not understanding

[00:39:42] how did she get out dude i have never been to dubai but i'm confused as to how she like okay well dubai sorry dubai does have on arrival visas so i'm assuming she got one of those and because she has an american passport it's pretty easy to get an on arrival visa so i'm assuming that's why like it's not like they're putting her in a system yet and she ends up in dubai she's posting a bunch of

[00:40:07] videos she is literally breaking every law you can in dubai and here's the thing don't be doing crazy stuff in dubai in singapore right like there's just certain countries you just should be careful that's all i'm saying and she's literally smoking and then she's like there's a video i saw where she's like don't don't be crazy i'm gonna i'll burn you with the cigarette you're like girl what is what's

[00:40:33] wrong you know what in the evil dick yeah so it's just she was just in dubai breaking all kinds of rules for dubai and uh it just it's outrageous to where then she finally does end up getting on the plane and when she's getting on the plane i'm assuming that's when the the like dubai was like officials were able to like track her down so they escort her off the plane off the flight bound for new

[00:41:03] york and she has not been heard from since well yeah and if she's posting all these videos of breaking the law but that is not there are countries in the world where you can get away with more or get away with less and as you said like dubai is not where you go uh to publicly break the rules because

[00:41:27] that's scary yeah like what are we doing and she's a woman let's not forget uh even though she's hijabi you're still a woman like uh i know people that again and and i'm saying this not necessarily as like a critic to dubai or like i mean listen there is issues with dubai and they're like slave culture but

[00:41:51] um especially to my people uh and to black people but uh what i'm talking about is like you're you're if you're going to go to another country you just have to be you know respectful of it and i know people that like definitely by mistake ended up like in the non-touristy part of dubai like somehow the um the cab took them somewhere else or they they didn't realize that this restaurant was in you know a

[00:42:17] non-touristy area like a version of that and they're like getting in the cab and they literally start feeling like pricks and they're like that's weird that's weird and then they realize they're getting like stones because they're not dressed appropriately yeah because they're not in the the correct yes place uh yeah it's again yeah as you go anywhere you yes you look things up you

[00:42:46] act appropriately based on where you're going correct even better if you can learn a few phrases in the in the local language uh you probably don't go there and then go viral posting videos breaking the law i wouldn't recommend that god so yeah it's not um that's scary but it looks like at least again i don't

[00:43:10] know if this is like three days ago or whatever but a lot of people are like she's fine there's an update blah blah blah um so we'll see what actually ends up happening hopefully she just needs our girl shabana back shabana uh either way it's just i don't know what's gonna keep happening but we just gotta i just i'd like her to get home to new york and yeah as we said last week like she could work on

[00:43:37] cleaning up the streets of new york correct take care of the rats there um yeah so this is obviously a fan page of hers but yeah it's fascinating so that's what's been cool it's also crazy to me that like someone can act this way and then now they have fans yeah what i think because pakistan like you know kind of made it like funny and like oh she's just being silly right like they pakistanis

[00:44:04] wasn't necessarily like treating her as a pariah hmm that makes sense so i think that's why it became like funny and enduring just like the beyonce thing right like if beyonce isn't saying x y and z against shakira or if beehive isn't then like everyone else kind of laughs so i think that's how but dubai does not play no that is not what i would what i'm doing yeah um i just wanted to

[00:44:30] cue this up we don't need to really talk about it but i know that we were paying attention when those football players were getting burglar burgled recently oh good yeah nicole kidman and keith urban have also been burglar on their mansion was burglarized over the weekend they were not home um but one of the staff members arrived shortly after an intruder smashed a window to gain entry

[00:44:55] again i will never understand how there's not like so much security and so many uh like cameras every everything like i'm confusion me too i like i feel like there's a certain level of wealth at which i would expect your home to be like the people in the movie the purge where they can like press a button and it's all locked down correct like your whole home is the panic room yeah like literally

[00:45:24] so i just it's very interesting i feel like i haven't really heard about very many celebrity burglaries in recent years but then now it seems like there might be maybe like the bling ring is coming back or something maybe are they like the sports ring exactly the jersey chasers but a whole new meaning i mean honestly i would understand that a lot more than the other type of jersey chasing

[00:45:53] why you don't want to get like a shit ton of money i mean would i like a shit ton of money yes but the heartache and the do i need to be dating someone who like likely has cte and is maybe like i mean i'm sure there are some athletes basketball players don't have cte football players yes yeah basketball i'm i would be more open to a basketball player for sure than pretty much any other sport

[00:46:20] fair fair like uh i'm too short hockey no yeah no i was talking about hockey players again love being a punch in the air no that's been a that has been a hard line for me my whole life on the dating app i would see they play hockey left that was a strong rule for me and i think people should follow my example do as i say and as i do in that situation sorry to the hockey community

[00:46:48] i'm sorry it's fine i'm happy for you i just don't think that you should be dated there's someone for everyone yeah there's there are people who are you it's fine they'll find you okay and then you had some asap rocky news sorry guys this is so funny and i need everyone to laugh with me so uh asap rocky maybe folks didn't know um is a rapper uh

[00:47:14] you know rihanna's baby daddy uh his his biggest claim to fame so he was up on trial for um assault with a firearm uh with and he was charged with two felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm so it could have been 24 years in prison blah blah bunch of stuff he was uh just a few an hour before

[00:47:40] this podcast um he gets a not guilty verdict yes right great okay now i need everyone to see what he does after again rihanna's baby daddy um in case folks didn't know so this is so amazing this is honestly i know recording video is immediately leveling up the i hope people enjoy it because this is so funny i listen tell us in the comments if you enjoy it if

[00:48:09] you don't enjoy it just say nothing yeah and we don't need video um for it uh we audio sorry for this part so uh but anyway so five zero eight one four two that's zero one okay the jury above entitled

[00:48:26] action find the defendant raquem mayors not guilty he like he's not it's not even a jump he just kind of like tips over forward yes so this woman i'm assuming he's part of his lawyer too this white woman

[00:48:53] right hugs him he kind of hugs her but he literally he just lunges he lunges at rihanna like when i like straight lunged at rihanna and was just like flat like i don't know how to explain it like just because i mean had he been found guilty which i don't know anything about this case at all but like he was acquitted had even found guilty i think you think rihanna's waiting for 24 years in

[00:49:22] prison i feel like no although she does seem very loyal so maybe i just find this to be so funny he said i get to go home to rihanna and honestly whose reaction wouldn't be that i've i'd probably jump more aggressively it would be less of like a tip over and more of a a real lunge oh my god he's like flat like a pancake like not even make it like a i would think like a cracker like a papa

[00:49:50] where he's just like just flat hugging her honestly a beautiful moment and uh congratulations to them for not having to deal with correct jail time that's great um or maybe it's not i don't know anything about the case i don't want to speak on it oh my god um okay amazing are you ready for an anonymous sasha

[00:50:16] let's do it and for folks that don't know of course um maybe it's your first time listening to us watching us and welcome we have listeners submitted mess every week where you all our messengers submit drama in their personal lives so go to messmagnets.com or tinyurl slash mess magnets to submit your mess and

[00:50:39] we will never share like your info just your mess yeah it's your identity is confidential the identities of anyone mentioned in the mess is confidential but we love sharing it and i thought this one was so fun i'm really excited i'm ready okay so our messenger is submitting a story to us about one of their co-workers who we are going to call angela angela is now in her 50s and she's a middle school

[00:51:04] middle school principal but this anonymous starts 15 years ago okay okay so when angela was a teacher she was asked by another teacher to help clean out the classroom of a third teacher who had recently retired okay so generally speaking after retiring most teachers will clean out their own classroom they'll offer things that are not theirs or that they don't want anymore to other staff and

[00:51:33] then dispose of whatever's left over or like take home whatever they want you know um this teacher who retired who we are going to call lisa yeah if you notice a trend with the name uh left pretty much everything in the classroom including a storage closet full of art um which she had been an art teacher so it was what glitter there's probably glitter um she had been an art teacher so it was

[00:51:59] assumed that it would mostly be like example pieces of art student art that had been like kind of left there over the years yeah and the teacher who asked angela to help clean out the classroom didn't want the incoming new art teacher to have to sort through everything and make judgment calls about what's useful or important and also wanted to make sure any art supplies were properly stored over the summer so that they could be used the next school year because of course schools don't have enough

[00:52:27] money right so they have to make do with everything that they have and no one was surprised at all that lisa left the classroom in this condition because apparently she was a mean old lady oh no and hated everybody except for one person in the building and that person was the principal who we're going to call cam and so cam the principal was the only one in the building that lisa would listen to and the only

[00:52:53] person who could convince her to like be nice to students what are we doing and so as angela and her teacher friend were going through the pieces of art they found one very interesting art piece it was an oil painting of a man leaning against a desk shirtless with a jean button undone uh the man was muscular and apparently a quite a bit of time had been put into the shading of his chest

[00:53:22] in the this art piece okay oh i like it i like it but the face looked very familiar it was the principal can oh my god and so after they they were shocked to see this yeah but after the initial shock kind of wore off they were looking at it closer and they came to the conclusion that this like could not be a

[00:53:47] real portrait oh right like there were some odd things about the items on the desk like the okay man in the painting had tattoos on the arms that didn't match with the principal cam and the body build could not possibly okay have been him so it's kind of like a joke piece right yeah or a like uh a fantasy a fantasy yeah yes but angela saw some potential in this painting and i guess the

[00:54:12] principal cam has a very good sense of humor so they snuck into his office and hung this painting on the wall where it hung all summer long and a few weeks into the next school year oh my god until of all people cam's wife noticed the painting in his office god and so angela when doing this prank

[00:54:38] wrote her name on the back of the painting okay and so they call her down to the office and she told them the story about how they found the painting where it was and how they felt about it and i just say like not the stereotype but this is so men right like you would never even realize that there's a whole ass painting of you bare chested right behind you though literally i i did a prank on a co-worker where i like printed out a button like they had this thing where they would post halloween photos

[00:55:06] every year yeah and they would photoshop in this old halloween costume of like a picture they found online that they would tag as a co-worker in the pictures every single year because he wouldn't dress up and i printed it but it was like a person dressed as a raggedy ann doll and it was so scary and i printed out like 50 of them and just like put them on all of the pictures of his family in the

[00:55:30] office and he didn't notice for months see so very classic oh okay so cam was extremely embarrassed about this whole situation but cam's wife thought it was hilarious it was a very good one it's like are we taking it home like we should keep it forever right but they didn't take it home oh boo um angela convinced them to give it back to her so that she could hide it in a past co-worker's office

[00:55:58] somewhere else in the district and continue the prank okay like an episode of abbott elementary i love it i love it so much and so soon after this story so 15 years ago cam got promoted to district leadership and he is actually in charge of all principal and assistant principal trainings in the district oh my god and now it is a rite of passage for new administrators to have the painting

[00:56:22] hung on their wall unnoticed and our messenger says that we would be surprised by how many people don't notice it's there for months even like they just don't even notice at all uh and cam is a good sport about it and angela is always delighted when she can hang it up for someone in her own building

[00:56:43] i honest this is so good i love it top 10 mess it's so silly and there's like a layer to this shit like i love that i would love to see the painting if our messenger please dm photo of it please dm us we won't share it we won't tell anyone but we would love to see it literally we just want to see it

[00:57:10] just for us we would never post it don't worry your identity and cam's identity is safe and thank you so much for submitting this mess because it is so fun and if this reminded anyone of a prank mess or a co-worker mess or just anything please submit your mess uh to tinyurl.com slash mess magnets if you can't remember that the link is at messmagnets.com uh you can fill in our google form your anonymity will be
