High Low Brow
Reporting Live from the Vaults on Fallout and Rupaul's Drag Race: All-Stars 9
We're back for another week! Strap in for our commentary on the apocalyptic twists and turns of the Fallout TV series currently airing on Prime. Having not played the games, we're watching it fresh without any judgments. We dive into the narratives spun around the Brotherhood of Steel and the enigmatic Ghoul, masterfully portrayed by Walton Goggins. Ella Purnell's character, Lucy Maclean, has us rooting for an unlikely protagonist. The show is a reflection of our society in a very dystopian mirror and we're obsessed.
Wrapping up, we pour the tea on "Drag Race All-Stars 9." We're piecing together the impact of returning queens and pondering the franchise's future. Is it time for a break, or should the show sashay forward? Plus, why have some of the queens ended up on the Blockout2024 list?

Welcome to High Low Brow. The show with high brow takes on low brow culture. I'm your one host, amanda Scriber.
Speaker 2:And I'm your co-host, Ripper Gilbert.
Speaker 1:It's been a week. It has been a week. It feels like every single time when we have the podcast. Every day feels like a week, but then again the world is on fire, so yeah, you know, this is just our color commentary of the world being on fire and. Reality TV. Yeah, so it goes.
Speaker 2:So it goes. I really wanted to talk about the VPR finale, but I feel like we have to wait until all three episodes are out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like we have to pull a. Lauren from Utah and not talk about the reunion until everybody has seen the reunion.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Because otherwise like who would we otherwise like? Who would we be? Who would we be?
Speaker 1:it so far seems very tame compared to last season yeah, sure, I mean, I, I guess the the thing that okay, tame, yes, but also just like, like annoying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean like they really are pushing the Sandoval redemption story.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I think if you watch back the episode you'll see people like Lisa Ariana Sheena. Whenever he says something that's so out of pocket, like I think he called rachel a coward, they all were just like bro, what the fuck. Or when he tried to explain the george george floyd thing my.
Speaker 2:My personal favorite awfulness was when he tried to say that rachel was grooming him oh my god. Yes, everybody was like dude shut the fuck up yeah like. No one said a word afterwards, but everybody's faces were just like what yeah, so you know, beyond the finale, which we will talk, we will absolutely devote an entire episode to yeah and sorry, not the finale the reunion yeah.
Speaker 1:It was interesting. So I was on Buzzsprout the other day, which is where we host our podcast and you know, just checking on the downloads.
Speaker 2:Checking on.
Speaker 1:Checking how things are going and I wanted I wanted to use this this moment, while we are here, because there's been a few, there's been cities in our downloads and I'm like, oh my god, that's totally cool. So, for example, we have somebody who listened to the podcast from Seoul.
Speaker 2:Oh shit, yeah well, I see Utah's on there, so thank you for listening, lauren. Lauren, lauren from Utah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there is Utah in here. We do have Campbell River, British Columbia. Okay so like British Columbia is a big place, bc, bc, and then you know New York.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I love that Toronto's not on there.
Speaker 1:I mean to be fair. Our top country listeners do come from Canada.
Speaker 2:Sure, of course.
Speaker 1:So I'm to be fair, our top country listeners do come from canada, sure, of course, so I'm gonna assume that it's.
Speaker 2:The number one is tron, that's that I was like. Oh my god, we have no friends, none of our friends.
Speaker 1:None of our friends are supporting us. They're just like guys. Have you ever listened to yourself?
Speaker 2:it's so cringe we know you in real life, why would we want to subject ourselves to this? I?
Speaker 1:mean that's fair. What are we talking about today? We are talking about Fallout and All-Stars 9 Drag Race let's. Do you want to start with Fallout? Let's start with Fallout. Yeah, I will say this. I was really interested in seeing Fallout. I have not played the games, so I had no sort of like insight into what it would be about.
Speaker 2:I have also not played the games, which makes me a bad trans femme, because Fallout New Vegas is like the rallying cry for all trans folks.
Speaker 1:It seems interesting yeah, I mean there's still.
Speaker 2:I have it. I've played like eight hours of it so like you, I have it.
Speaker 1:I've played like eight hours of it, oh, so like you, I have played zero.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like an 80 hour game Sure, but like. And there are four of them, six of them.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of them. Seven, there's so many of them. Yeah, but on the opposite end of me, where I'm like I don't know her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, did you? Did you know that it was about bombs dropping and the end of the world? No really, I mean the title sort of gives something away, but like no.
Speaker 1:I had zero clues, zero context. So I think, for watching the show, that like if and you can tell me if I'm wrong so when you are watching something where there's already material of it that exists in the world, whether it be a video game, comic book, that type of thing if you are already familiar with it, you have much higher expectations. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, you kind of know where it's going. It is is a there's. The lore for Fallout is so dense though that. I'm kind of like I was like I do wonder where they're going to take this.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, and I had zero expectations, zero sort of like insight into the lore, nothing. So I was just like this is a show that I'm going to watch and I may or may not enjoy it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I mean the. The series follows like three main perspectives. It follows, uh, one character from the brotherhood of steel which is like a zealous. I don't want to say religiously, I don't actually know it, but they seem like militant and knight-based. And it does feel like they're based on like Knights Templar kind of cleansing.
Speaker 1:His name was Titus, yeah.
Speaker 2:No, that was his knight's name. His name's Maximus. Okay.
Speaker 1:I remember Titus because he kept calling himself.
Speaker 2:Titus. I mean he went by Titus for most of the show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's fair that that's the name I would remember.
Speaker 2:Then it also follows Lucy, who's a person who's grown up in the vaults.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's a vault dweller, so Number 33. Number 33.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and the ghoul who everyone online is so thirsty for.
Speaker 1:I mean, if you like, for those of you who have not seen the show, for those of you who may not be familiar with the video game, the ghoul is like a zombie who's missing a nose. There's like a hole where their nose should be.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's like. He's been kicking it since he was like since the bombs fell. Yeah, so over 200 years.
Speaker 1:And he's like been a bounty hunter the whole time yes, and the actor that plays the ghoul, walton giggins, yes baby billy from baby billy, yeah from righteous gemstones, yeah, which is a great underrated show if you have oh my god, it's.
Speaker 2:It's like a masterpiece. I mean, it is very danny McBride, but it is also John Goodman, yeah, so what was it?
Speaker 1:He played the ghoul character. Yes, Like excellently.
Speaker 2:Is that?
Speaker 1:a word Excellently, yeah, of course.
Speaker 2:Do you know who he reminded me of? He reminded me of Matthew McConaughey's character in Magic Mike and, like that's such a weird specifically the. We got a lot of rule breakers out here tonight okay, yeah, I could see that he like not a good guy, he's like peak villain and like but he, okay, you tell me if you felt this way because I felt like he was a villain that you want to root for.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean there's no heroes in the wasteland, like everybody's a bad guy doing what they have to do to survive.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I was like you know, I feel like we're supposed to hate this guy, but also I kind of don't yeah very much. Especially, as throughout all of the episodes episodes, I believe there's eight in total we get to see his backstory yes, he, he is a very tragic figure.
Speaker 2:I there is a, we're not going to get spoil it but there is a twist that neither of us saw coming like it happened and you, you screamed yes and I I had to like think for a second and I was like, oh my god, it was like genuinely surprising. Uh, the acting was excellent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I love lucy that's how I think the actress that played lucy was ella pernell, if I'm not mistaken it was Ella Purnell yeah, see um, not to be confused with Chris Parnell, who was also in the show as the one eye with the one eye yeah, but she was great like she played that character so well. I have been saying okie dokie since.
Speaker 1:I feel like you are not alone in that. Okie dokie, okie dokie. I have not.
Speaker 2:Loses a finger.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okie dokie.
Speaker 1:I also thought it was great and I'm sure that it's like this in the game. So if you're listening to this and you're like that's how the game was, spoiler I never played the game so I wouldn't know, but I really enjoyed how most of the places that they took us through were like this is the conservatory, like the conservatory in Fallout that we saw on the show exists in real life?
Speaker 2:Yeah it is very much like there are key landmarks and like remnants of old, the pre-times, and it's not based on like our current world yes, like it is definitely a divergence path, like it's very like 1950s style, but it happens in like. What is it like? Late 2000s?
Speaker 1:sorry, like that 2070s or something like that so I saw an interesting tiktok remember I believe it was in episode seven where the ghoul is like spying on his wife when he was not a pre-ghoule. Yeah, yeah, and so he's listening into this conversation that she's having with like management. So on tiktok, I saw it is the last one. I thought it was episode 7.
Speaker 2:Okay, either way Sorry.
Speaker 1:It's close to the end. Yeah, but I saw someone on TikTok, remember they showed the screen about how they could have vaults all over.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Someone took that map and tried to map it out to the USA. Ooh, yeah, it was very interesting to be like. So we saw that map. They did allude to some areas and because we know canonically in the show that that's California.
Speaker 2:It's California.
Speaker 1:So you can kind of map it from there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, but yeah, as somebody who was not at all familiar with the source material recommend yeah, of course I thought it was really great.
Speaker 1:I think my only the. The reason why it took us so long to watch was because every single episode is an hour or just over an hour beefy episodes yeah, it is a commitment.
Speaker 2:It's like an eight hour commitment yeah, and I find sometimes I have to be in the mood for an hour long show it's pretty bleak yeah like there's humor in it, but it's also like with the backdrop of like oops, yeah, these people eat people because that's what they have to do I mean that's fair.
Speaker 1:would fair, would you, if, if we ended up in a situation where we had to live in vaults or, you know, a nuclear bomb and you had to eat a person, would you?
Speaker 2:Emma, I say eat the rich literally all the time. So I think you know where I stand with it. I'm also a vegetarian so the only ethical meat is billionaires.
Speaker 1:Yes, I think the other critique that I had of the show and I think again this is related to the source material, but they had a dog, oh, dog meat yeah, dog meat, but I think its name was actually not dog meat it was c something or other yeah, it was like cx something it was like a lab dog.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was a lab dog.
Speaker 1:Anyways, every time like this poor dog I think every like, every episode something I like screamed, I was like they better not fucking kill this dog spoiler alert they do not kill the dog. Yeah, the dog is fine the dog goes through so much I mean, everyone goes through so much to be fair. Everyone goes through so much sure, but the dog is like locked in.
Speaker 2:You know a nuka cola, yeah like no, I, I know, I know it was a doggo different dog, dog bill dead for a dog. Doggo different. Doggo dog bill different. Dog meat bill different. Yeah, so the entire season I was like they better fucking, not kill this dog I was, so I like I remember like episode two when they were introduced. I was like Emma. I'm warning you, dogs don't have a good track record in the Fallout series.
Speaker 1:Yes, I remember that and I was like no, but yeah, I, I think you know, if they had killed the dog it wouldn't have just been me, because like, come on, who's that vp candidate in the us that shot their dog? Oh, my fucking god wrote about it in their memoir christine elms yeah, she killed the goat too, lest we forget the goat finished killing dog moves on to goat also the fact that this woman was potentially, or is potentially going to be the vp.
Speaker 2:There's no way anymore. Her polling is so low yeah, I mean most people.
Speaker 1:Most people draw the line at killing dogs well, it's very funny that that is.
Speaker 2:We found it. We found the the end of the overton window. It's killing dogs yeah if you kill a dog, you should just. You can push that thing really far. Evidently we have nazis yeah, but what?
Speaker 1:what's a nazi between friends? Oh, my god amma you're like I can't believe.
Speaker 2:you just said that, Emma we have to be like so explicit with when we are joking around.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't support Nazis. Just as an FYI, let's talk about All Stars, okay. So Drag Race is back, of course. If you are tired about it, I'm sure you are not the only one because they announced the-stars nine lineup the other week. It felt like a fart in the wind where I was just like I don't even really care yeah, it was like I remember season god, what did we?
Speaker 2:just season 16 ended and I was like I felt like a whole drag race shaped hole opening in my heart.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I was like I do want something to fill that hole.
Speaker 1:Now listen. Drag race 16, which we just finished. If you haven't won, or sorry if you haven't seen, If you haven't won drag race, definitely go watch it. Yeah, I was going to say if you haven't watched it and don't want the winter spoiler for you, you better fast forward, because Nymphia Wind was.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, yeah, incredible Deserved. It was like I wasn't sure if they were going to do Sephira or if they were going to do Nymphia, or, like everyone felt very deserved to be there, I'm glad it was Nymphia.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but now we're on All-Stars 9.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:We're in the quote, unquote off season.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Here's my beef, or actually we should probably say who is on this season.
Speaker 2:Oh God, okay, so we're going to be on the spot. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, so on All-Stars 9, we have Angeria, we have Gottmik, we have Georges, we have Nina West. Plastic Tiara Chanel from season one.
Speaker 2:From season one, the first queen of season one.
Speaker 1:Roxy Andrews is here to make it clear.
Speaker 2:Again, for the third time.
Speaker 1:And Vangie, it's Vangie, yeah, and that's it. Is that it? Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2:So the twist is they're not competing for like, they are competing for prize money, but they are competing for prize money for charity.
Speaker 1:Yes, and because they're competing for charity, none of them will be eliminated.
Speaker 2:And I feel like that's kind of the only way they can do All Stars for the time being.
Speaker 1:Well, here's the thing is that like one and I think I talked. I talked to you about this after we found out the format and what have you and they did the promo, a release. But there's no way that any of these people are coming to film for zero dollars, especially when they have. So it's obvious they're being paid a fee to appear Whatever. That fee is literally no idea and, like I am happy that they're raising funds for charity, but you also know that that's just a tax write-off for, like World of Wonder and MTV.
Speaker 2:Well, I do wonder how they are structuring it, like it's possible that they're not paying the queens and they're like we're donating this in your name and then you get the tax write-off or a split of some kind I don't know man, I'm just. I think it's neat and I that seemed to be a lot of the reason why people came back like chanel was like I wouldn't have come back if it wasn't for charity.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean I don't buy it, but sure I do.
Speaker 2:She's Emma. There's no way they didn't ask her to come back. Like between in the past decade.
Speaker 1:Anyways, the other issue that I have is that all of these people have either A been on All Stars before or B are part of las vegas review or, uh vos events in some way yeah so it's like we're not getting queens that we haven't already seen a million times over in some capacity yeah, it is a new format and it's a new combination of queens, but yeah, it does feel very.
Speaker 2:It feels like the rupaul's christmas special where it's like yeah but over the course of the season right and I mean and not a musical.
Speaker 1:This is this is not me trying to be a toxic drag race fan. Who's bitching about these queens? I'm not saying any of them are not valid or deserving of coming back. What I am saying is that, like I think Drag Race just needs to take a beat and maybe not have a season for a minute.
Speaker 2:Pull a Vanderpump, just breathing room.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just take a break. We watched the first episode.
Speaker 2:We watched the first episode. What'd you think of the first episode?
Speaker 1:I thought the first episode was totally fine. Yeah, I thought it was interesting that and we're not spoiling anything for anyone but the fact that they did a combination runway slash here's a product that you would sell.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they were doing a signature look, signature scent, yeah. So everybody had to like have their own like little perfume bottle as well as it being related to their brand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I thought that was interesting, because normally they do that as part of the what is it called?
Speaker 2:Like the finale or like later on.
Speaker 1:Well, no, they do it as the challenge during the episode.
Speaker 2:I see yeah, yeah, the finale, or like later on.
Speaker 1:Well, no, they do it as the challenge during the episode, whereas this challenge was they had to write a verse and choreograph a dance. Yes, who do you think?
Speaker 2:did well in that, in that I think that plastique did fantastically hands down, she nailed it yeah I know everybody was like, oh, george is gonna kill it. And I, I saw it and I was like this is okay yeah, I was like this is fine.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's not incredible, it's not terrible, I could I do that?
Speaker 2:no, no, but and yeah I.
Speaker 1:I felt like she was the standout yeah, I think it might have been Anjuria.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that would make sense, yeah.
Speaker 1:But the rest I was just like okay, sure, we have to talk about when they were like practicing for the challenge.
Speaker 2:Oh, and Chanel almost died.
Speaker 1:She fell off the stage.
Speaker 2:Fell off the stage.
Speaker 1:It was like girl, you're showing your age. She's not that old, she's like 44.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, my god, that's right, she's four years old. I know I'm like Emma, be careful. What an old.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, yeah, that's right. Next thing you know, I'm going to be falling off stages.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I thought the lip sync like the lip sync for.
Speaker 1:The money? Yeah, well, not even the money.
Speaker 2:Legacy? I guess Sure. So whoever wins gets to block the following week's person from winning a badge and at the end, the top three people, the people with the three most badges, will get to compete for the money for charity, and I'm like that seems convoluted I feel like it's almost like there should be a two hundred thousand dollar pot and the winner of each challenge should get x number of dollars for it.
Speaker 1:You would think, that way you're giving money to charity. But they have to make a spessy. Yeah, I. If I remember correctly, they blocked Roxy.
Speaker 2:They did. They did blocks, block, they Bloxy.
Speaker 1:Bloxy Roblox.
Speaker 2:Roblox, they Roblox-yed, roxy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which, I mean, I think is fair. I think that what I'm gathering, especially just from this one episode, is that a lot of these queens are feeling a little not challenged, but they're like, oh, roxy's the one to beat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, which is funny, cause did they not watch all stars too? I mean, like in her season she did like she was top three, yeah, and like deservedly top three, like she killed it. And then that season she even referenced like how people like she was the never sent home queen or something like that and I'm just like it's like you get it, you know she knows.
Speaker 1:Well, I think we also look at, since roxy came off all stars too. She won miss continental plus she did yeah, yeah. So like roxy's a pageant girl, she's a force to be reckoned with.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I, I do think it's funny that everybody's just like she's got such a good track record. I'm like not on drag race like she made. She was like I made it to top four on season two of all stars and I'm like, well, you did technically yeah, you can't take that from her.
Speaker 1:That is where she plays.
Speaker 2:You can't take that tank top from her, but she will loan it to you.
Speaker 1:She will loan it. And I know when we were watching the episode this is going to be mean, but they seem to have made Nina West the narrator of this season, which I'm going to bring up something else the narrator of this season, which I'm going to bring up something else. But as we were watching it, I was like they're like their head and face is so big, like they look like wallace from wallace and gromit.
Speaker 2:When you said she, oh my god, she looks like someone. And then you hand me your phone and it's a picture of wallace. I just died, I mean where the lie.
Speaker 1:It's like when somebody took that Tracy Martell photo and they made it into A Wallace.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, no, it's very funny.
Speaker 1:Please someone do this with Nina West.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Now there has been a lot of controversy with Nina on the cast this year. When the promo came out, when the cast was officially announced, people were calling nina a zionist. And also in her promo look, she wore blue and white, because the internet works fast and they like to speculate on these things so nina west has been accused of being a Zionist, Apparently. If any of you are chronically online, like most of us are. Amy Schumer made an Instagram post. That was just racist and. Islamophobic and gross, anyways she.
Speaker 2:she made this post and people called her out for it, but nina actually commented on it positively that's right it was like a slew of hate and she was like something to the effect of like finally someone being brave, or yeah, she put I love you that's what it was, and it's's like everybody's like what the fuck Like.
Speaker 1:To be fair, this is not the first time that Nina has sort of done something questionable, I believe. When was it Meghan McCain?
Speaker 2:I think it was Meghan McCain.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when she used to be on the View like Nina was all up in her comments and being like look at my friend Megan. So Nina is questionable.
Speaker 2:It's yeah, yeah, it's fair. Everybody's I think everybody found out that she had a foot fetish and was into Dookie, and then we're like, oh, we hate her I wait, I knew about the foot. Thing yeah, the poop thing I don't remember. I think I can't remember if it was mistress, it was somebody talking about her hanky code being yellow and brown to be fair, mistress, mistress is a troll, so who knows?
Speaker 1:who knows if that, who knows? We can't, yeah, we can't be spreading this misinformation. Mistress, if mistress was listening, she'd be like it's working. No, like. We need tangible facts, receipts, proof, timeline everything she may or may not like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, allegedly.
Speaker 1:She allegedly possibly likes the dookie yeah, I mean a spooky, spooky dookie, yeah, I, there's that there, I think, and this is we were going to talk about this this episode, but maybe we'll do it next week. There is currently not not specific to drag race, but just in general. There's a movement happening right now called Blockout 2024. That's right when it's individuals are blocking celebrities of all kinds, to sort of like, who are not voicing their opinions on the current genocide and war that is happening yeah, but also, yeah, it's just.
Speaker 2:I saw somebody say like you know, we gave these people their power, we can take it away. Let's show them yeah.
Speaker 1:So I think you know we, before we talked about that at any great length. We wanted to sort of do our own due diligence.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Have a better understanding. This isn't to say that we are like so out of touch that we don't know anything. No, but I think, if we're going to talk to you all for 30 minutes about yeah, we want to make sure that we know something about it.
Speaker 2:Yes, correct, it's not just our deep dive on bbl drizzy so, yeah, I know that nina has been added to that list by drag race fans specifically. Yeah, she was the only queen who lost followers from her. Yes, all-stars announcements.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she lost something like 9 000 followers, which was bananas yeah, speaking of like the block list, I know that kimchi is apparently on there as well, yeah, she's been pretty vocal about her support of Israel yeah, so that is also disappointing it is. It's very disappointing and I know people have been boycotting Kimchi Beauty as well. So All Stars 9. All Stars, 9. I mean, here's the thing If you are like us and you enjoy watching Drag Race period, it's pretty evident that you were probably going to watch All Stars 9.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent.
Speaker 1:Is it giving anything that hasn't already been done? Not at all. It's the same old shit and I think that's.
Speaker 2:the thing is that I'm kind of like I don't care, that's kind of it. It is a oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, I'm like okay cool. Part of me feels that Drag Race has sort of run its course, and this is someone who loves drag in all of its formats.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I do feel like I do wish that there weren't so many Drag Race franchises. Unlike RuPaul, you have that fracking money Like you don't necessarily need more. Like RuPaul, you have that fracking money Like you don't necessarily need more. But I do think that it is an interesting time for more interesting drag content to come up, like Dragula is fantastic.
Speaker 1:Dragula is fantastic.
Speaker 2:I know like we're here is fun. This season especially is good. Yeah, we'll have to talk about that. There's didn't Alaska? No, what was the one? It was with monet and drag family of some kind. You watched it without me, oh yeah I can't remember okay there's.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of drag. Yeah, I think drag content has its place in the world, especially with all of these bands that are trying to take place, especially in the uS, which I mean we Are here. Sort of deals with that directly.
Speaker 2:Directly Like they're, instead of it being like, hey, we're traveling around, it's like this is in Tennessee and it is only in Tennessee and the entire thing is about us being in Tennessee.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we could be arrested. I don't think they're in Tennessee for the entire season, I think it's just for the first two episodes.
Speaker 2:Okay, it felt like it was like ramping up to all the episodes in Tennessee.
Speaker 1:No, I think the I think there's an episode that was just out in Texas. I think the they're trying to go to states that are actually banning and putting legislation around drag as a whole.
Speaker 2:I feel like that's how they got Sasha Velour to sign on Totally, Because I'm like love Sasha to death Fantastic. But I feel like she's like artsy and like wouldn't want to do it unless there was a point.
Speaker 1:Well, yes, and like wouldn't want to do it unless there was a point.
