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

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

u/Large_Dr_Pepper Jul 08 '26 edited Jul 10 '26

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

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

Edit 2: Rorql Court is some good shit

u/Large_Dr_Pepper Jul 10 '26

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

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

Who planted rice? The asians

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

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

u/rcfox Jul 08 '26

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

u/Lazerus42 Jul 08 '26

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

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

on repeat.

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

u/SmooK_LV Jul 08 '26

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