I like that our phones are listening to us. Ft Caroline Montesquieu
Summary
Caroline Montesquieu has made peace with the surveillance state, and she's getting coupons out of it. She tells Kareem she genuinely likes that phones are listening to us because it's already happening whether we accept it or not. Her evidence? She wrote "Prada perfume" in her notes and boom, Instagram served her a 20% discount. Caroline has three Alexas at home and hits "allow" on every tracking request, especially on Uber Eats. She doesn't care if "some random guy in China has like a picture of my butthole." The algorithm works. It even brought her and Bad Bunny together when he reposted her thirsty video. When Kareem pushes back about government overreach, Caroline shrugs it off. We don't have a choice, so why not vibe out and enjoy the discounts?

So, what's your take? I like that our phones are listening to us.
100% disagree. Why could you possibly like that? It's already out of our control. Okay. So, we might as well lean into it and see the benefit.
What's the benefit of your phone listening to you? The other day, I wrote down in my notes, Prada perfume. Boom. Instagram 20% discount on the perfume. Come on. I have three Alexas in my house. They all know what's going on. I don't care if some random guy in China has like a picture of my butthole. I'm getting coupons, baby.
You're willing to give up the picture of the butthole for 20% off? Not willing to give it up. We don't have a choice.
So, just let it happen. Yeah. I know it's a little bit like nihilistic, but that's where I am in life.
I think that it's probably not good for society cuz like what if the government gets a hold of it? The government does have it. We don't know anything. We just got to vibe out, enjoy our coupons. When you download a new app and it says gives you the option ask app not to track.
Allow always because listen it says ask. It's not saying yes or no. They're just asking. They're like yeah we're just asking. They're not confirming. So I'm just letting it be. Allow. Allow. Allow. Especially on Uber Eats. It's an allowed party.
You allow everything. I'm open.
You're saying let the surveillance state ride. Yeah. I'm a propaganda machine.
What about all the cameras? There's millions of cameras looking at us at all times. I love it. Diva.
I'm a ham. Listen, the algorithm brought me and Bad Bunny together.
How so? I made a video asking him to come me and he reposted it because his phone is listening to him. He's like, "Where are the horny fat girls?" And it like brought one onto his algorithm. So, I love it.
And he obviously found it helpful. So, in his mind, he was probably thinking about horny fat girls.
Yeah, 100%. You said it first. Yeah, I did say it.
Yeah. Uh, I got to go.
Oh, okay. What? We're not going to kiss. I've never kissed anyone on the show except for a man.
This is my stop.
