Before we start this episode. I just wanted to say a lot of you been asking about tour dates. Are we going to be at this place? Are we going to go to that convention? We're going to do a long sort of thing at the very end explaining exactly where we're going to be and when we're going to be there. So if you're interested in tour dates, please stick around to the end of the episode. Anyways, here we go. All right. So we just started recording completely mid-conversation.
Then I realized like, wait a minute. We should just start recording. Eric said something fascinating film tells the the our dear listeners. What you said? Well, it starts from. There's a line in the show Scrubs, you know, show, Scrubs iconic, television show, for the mid-2000s. Yeah. I love between entire episode is fantastic. Is, I'm pretty sure that they sort of like three scrubs episode. I've actually really ought to scratch out. Fantastic. Anyway. Okay. Sorry.
Anyway, yeah, there's a show. Where? Somebody's talking to dr. Cox. Who is one of the main characters? He's not like the protagonist but one of the main characters, he's an alcoholic. He's like just sort of miserable all the time. Brilliant doctor though. Anyways, somebody says to him at some point. You're only happy when you're miserable and I was like 13. When I heard that. I was like, how the fuck wet
doesn't make any sense. How could you only be happy when you're miserable their mutually exclude? You can either happy or miserable. And so I tossed that an idea out of my head for like years and years and years and until eventually I realized What I think would be a better term. There is not happy but comfortable, you're only comfortable when you're miserable. Okay, because I identify with that quite a bit. I think one of my big vices is
that I seek Comfort a lot. I'm always constantly like trying to like lie down and scroll through my phone. You know, like that's the most colorful map. Are you take a lot of now? You take it ate an extraordinary much. There's nothing wrong with CJ. I've never known somebody who naps as hard as you. Well. There's nothing wrong with speaking of. No. I just think it's something that's like useful to know about Out in like monitor. Yeah, but anyways, I just think
it's really interesting. Like that was a big point in my life when I realized I'm only it's not that I'm Only Happy When I'm miserable. It's that I'm only comfortable when I'm miserable when I'm happy. Like if I like what I happy I don't notice how comfortable I am because I'm like happy. So I'm just like doing stuff being happy. But if I am happy and I notice
my comfort level. Like if I look at that gauge, it's not as high as it is when I'm miserable misery is very familiar territory for me. Do you? Do you get uncomfortable when you're happy? Because I do? Yeah, it's super uncomfortable. Like I always like, I'm like, do I like today? Like we went to the coffee shop, right? And you were sitting there and you're sitting there. I was like really nice and it was children that like we
weren't really doing anything. We're just sort of like vibing and Bailey was there is beautiful day and it was sunny and there's a table like, like shockingly stylish women across like, like, offensively stylish. Like, I was like, I like I'm here in my life, like a tank top, and they're like, like a fashion model and I was like, I was like so happy. And then I immediately got uncomfortable because I'm like,
it's fleeting. It's going away, not going to last but you better Savor this like and then I was just got sad. Oh, yeah, that's that's how my life works. Like, well we used to have probably this up, I cast before but I took a class called Tales of the Jazz Age in high school. It was really fascinating and we identified over the teacher used this term, the dying fall to identify is very pretentious and I'm totally here for of that. What does it mean? The dying fall?
It's from the Love. Song of Jay offered Prufrock. The TSI, your program, or poem, there's a line. And it says I hear the voices dying with a dying fall and it basically is the moment. You know what, it sounds like a really pretentious way, do describe a Wilhelm scream, if all that's true, but it's the it's the term that we used in class. Like I'm saying, this is like a universal used term, but it's the term we used in that glass to identify the moment when a character.
Eliza's the value and beauty and a moment. Yeah, and therefore immediately is struck by the weariness of the fleetingness of that moment. So the second you realize how awesome a moment is so too, does a timer start that counts down to the end of that moment because everything ends. And so the moment you realize how nice a moment is, you must also realize that it's not going fast for those two things come
together. And so, similarly, like, when we, when you and I are having like a perfect moment like when we're on The couch and we're like, watching some TV show, and like, Bailey's there. And then, like, Bailey puts her hand on your lap. And so, like, I put my head on your shoulder and it's just like the nicest, sir. It's perfect. Perfect moment when I noticed that, I also noticed. Well, this isn't Gonna Last Forever, you know, on both, unlike an immediate level like
this moment is going to end. Eventually the shows going to end or we're going to go to sleep or whatever the hell but also a much larger sense like, you know, one of us is gonna die for her. See. Sorry, but like I said, but You know, on every level the dying fall is present in the only way to enjoy something without the dying. Fall is not to notice the fact that you're enjoying it, which is the marks. Yeah. It's like trying to hold a salmon, the harder. You try to hold on to it, the
more elusive. It is also. Sorry. Everybody listen to this podcast. I have terrible allergies. I literally just take a coma test. I'm fine. I've horrible allergies after moving to Georgia. And today is like the worst allergy day. I've had like forever. Those arms can be a hacking through his pockets. That's right, sweetie. We're leaning away from the mic when you do it as it also, I would just like to say that t.s. Eliot, like he had a few good ideas but t.s.
Eliot also wants called Titus andronicus the stupidest and most unimaginable original plays ever written and he is an original. What he said though was it was one of the stupidest and most uninspired plays ever written. I'm pretty sure that whatever I'm gonna look it up. This why, what is it memorize for a while? Because it was the starting of who's part of my thesis. Yeah, one of the stupidest and most uninspired place, ever written. What were his arguments?
Just hated it. He thought it was terrible. But I would say and then he, this was the punchline for my like thesis presentation was like, this is also coming from the man who gave us James Corden and cats because like we had to suffer through that because of t.s. Eliot. So, frankly dying fall my ass everybody, it's me, Katie Soros. I forgot those inch. Oh, yes. I hello, it's me again.
You'd we are we were doing that cool thing where we setting up with the podcast and sometimes Eric and I just have like really lovely deep conversations and really start recording two ways to do. With it. And so, but yeah, but actually, today's topic is, is, is ripped straight from the headlines. If this was an episode of SVU, I'm sure guy would be like, we're about two weeks later in the headlines. Two weeks later.
Well, that's like that was always like the timeline of SVU is because like your turn will come out and then they would like Panic. Right? In episodes. Really bright? Really great in that sort of like a my it to settle like I didn't want to talk about it while like hot takes were still coming out. I wanted to lay a way to see what. Yeah, but Going to be talking about is a super meta. Eighty HD content on Tick-Tock on Tick-Tock specifically Tick-Tock.
Yeah, because I've so I'm making a lot of non directly ADHD content lately. I've been making a lot of crafting content because I fucking love it and it's doing well, which makes me very happy. It's still, it started as a THC content, people ask me quite frequently. Like, why do I call it? Athe, crafting, cotwell challenges. And it's like, well, because it started as I'm supposed to be doing something else, but you just mentioned something in my brain.
Like Like all the sudden just couldn't fucking stop thinking about it along with some other reasons that is perhaps for another episode. But anyway, I haven't been doing like straight e HD content because frankly, I don't want to make educational content. If I'm not very sure that what I'm educating about or talking about is correct.
Yeah, if it's just absolutely correct and it kind of scares me one, the idea that I could mislead someone that I could just be flat-out wrong about something. Well, not not that I'm wrong, but I'm not afraid of being wrong, but I'm afraid of being wrong about something in nobody telling and then not finding out that I'm wrong about something. We're, um, because then it's just, yeah, it's terrifying. And I also worry a lot when I do, like, you know, my own
experience content. When I talk about like, what my experience with ADHD is like, yeah. I always get a lot of comments of either people saying I have ADHD, but I don't do that. So maybe I don't have it. It HD or I have ADHD. Or I do do that. Then that therefore I definitely have it HD.
Yeah, this is just not the case and I've made a hundred million videos making like saying like just because one person's experience with ADHD is some way does not mean that everybody is experience with ADHD is going to be that way or if you have that experience, then you have ADHD and just but no matter how many times you clarify that there's always going to be a group of people who frankly are now operating under false
information. Yeah, like when I got it I got Comment on one of my just like random. I do remember, which I think it was the loading screen one where I talk about having ADHD is like trying to read a loading screen. Message that goes away too quickly. Like your have a thought in your like. Oh, it's there all fuck. It's gone in a bunch of people in the comments said, like, I don't do that. I must not like I thought I had ADHD, but I don't feel that way.
So I must not and that really just scares the shit out of me and the idea of like putting that out into the world and making people I feel worse about their mental health rather than better. Yeah, is it really scary thing to me? So anyways, just that's sort of what I've been thinking about with ADHD content and why I've been sort of Leaning away from it or at least letting it settle in my stomach a little bit because I really want to re-evaluate like what my place is in this community.
Yeah. Well and I think that's important but we need to backtrack a little bit because yes, excuse me. I cover more ground that I'm into it. Sorry. It's so basically if you didn't hear a couple of weeks hero. I'm going to call it a study and I feel like I study is very generous word to youth. Was it basically a group of researchers looked at and I want to be very clear 100. 100 180 HD Tic Tacs or will take talks about ADHD using and this is another sort of like Bing only the hashtag ADHD.
So basically they went on to tick tock they searched hashtag ADHD, and then they looked at the first hundred videos that popped up and they excluded videos that didn't have anything to do with ADHD, or if it was just like a person who had ADHD. So they were like using the Bag is like, I'm part of this community. But this video is just like, you know, a dance Trend or whatever. And then out of that, that set
of 100 video. So I think it wound up being like, they may be looked at 150 to eliminate, you know, the videos that didn't have anything to do with it. Eh, I think I think it was exactly one thing. They like they found the top 100 that had to do with ADHD. I'm sorry, but there are some in the top 100 that are like a dance trend of just a very popular Tick-Tock reader. But like who'd like just has ADHD, you know what I mean?
So out of those top 100 collection, they looked and they were like, okay how many of these are presenting factual information and of that factual information? How much of that information is correct? And how much of that information is either like misleading or not, correct? And basically of that like a hundred video, it was what it was like, 70% 52, 52. So 52 percent of those videos were determined to be
misleading. And this study made headlines like this study had a lot of media coverage and like a lot of coverage on Tick Tock in both like Pro, the pro world and the con world, but I have so many fucking issues with this study. Like I don't even know where the fuck to begin. But one thing that I think it did highlight was the idea of
what is misleading information. What is incorrect information because like There's a difference between, you know, saying, I don't even have a good example, but, you know, it's like plants are green because they need the sun to survive. Like, that's technically a correct statement, but it's misleading in that it leaves out the rationale behind it and excludes in important mention of chlorophyll, you know what I mean? So like a lot of the videos that
are made on the ADHD. Hashtag are either frankly. A wildly incorrect, you know everybody with ADHD is secretly a mind reader. We all can read minds like no baby. That's the trauma. That's the trauma. That's what that is. That's, that's his trauma. You're not fucking psychic, your fucking you have trauma. Um, and then there's like the secondary of, like, people just being flat out fucking wrong.
And it was it's tough as to people who educate about ADHD for our jobs, because now, we, Of people looking at what we do in a way that we frankly never had before and you will notice
are well. I have noticed that it was right around the time that that article came out that boy did my numbers drop boy, did my shit Target suppressed doodly doodly deal and I mean, it's not even it's not that but here's the thing and it also ties like this is a little conspiracy theories, but it's really not because like on the fucking record, but a lot of those online therapy apps like done.
And Sure help. In those things that are can be somewhat duplicitous and somewhat, you know, shall we say profit-oriented, they pulled out of advertising on Tick-Tock and they pulled out of advertising on Instagram because they're asked if getting pulled down for misinformation. And so when that happened, a lot of the advertising Revenue, that Tick-Tock was getting the surrounding mental, health content left, the platform, and so Tick-Tock has stopped
showing. People as much mental health content, like mental health content, across the board like viewership and stuff has gone down because of and so when you have the situation where there is a lot of misinformation, but also like the study itself is a study in misinformation.
It's really frustrating, you know, and so I don't like I don't know if you had like a specific thing that you want to talk about about it, but that's kind of where I'm at is like I'm just really frustrated about the fact that like, You can work so hard to be ethical and research well and do everything
correctly. But ultimately at the end of the day, like we are still at the whim of an algorithm that is absolutely impacted by outside sources, like advertising Revenue being pulled by, you know, therapy companies or group of board. Researchers designed that 180 HD videos are like indicative of a platform of millions of people. It takes me a week to make 100 videos like less than a month of like content. Like I don't understand. Yeah. Well, I mean for one it just for
the study. I want to clarify that the researchers in this study did what researchers do which is when they're going to conduct the study. They looked at how other similar studies were conducted. And then follow those methods, it does it. Make it good, doesn't make it good, but they either way they did. It wasn't duplicitous. It was they were doing an honest job. If not a good one. They were still doing. Is I don't think they're doing it to be like sneaky are bad,
but they did a shitty job. And it's also I mean, it's also I think an impossible task. I mean, we're talking there are millions and millions and millions of ADHD YouTube videos on Tick-Tock, you know, and so I think even the undertaking itself is like, how do you, how do we quantify that you've broken don't like, you can't like in and every hour there are several thousand more. Yeah, but there's also like a sociological context to it, that bothers me because like there's
there's a fundamental lack. Lack of understanding about how the platform works in the choice to use hashtag ADHD because I specifically on nearly all of my videos. I never use hashtag ADHD because hashtag ADHD is a lot of times uses like low ADHD. Yeah, like, oh my God. I'm so wacky. You hashtag ADHD, right? Where is like if they had looked at ADHD education or ADHD Advocate or any like anything that was more educational leader? Then I think that still would
have been far more informative. But instead you wound up with the top 100 videos that are mostly memes, mostly very generalized content and mostly I don't want to say wholesale or intentionally misleading because I think people don't intend to like they don't wake up and say I'm gonna lie to people on the internet but like I keep coming back to the mind-reading one because that is one that keeps coming up in my world of like, well, I'm not good at telling what people are thinking I
guess. S, I don't have ADHD or like, yeah, I tend to know what people are thinking.
I must be magic as opposed to, like I'm hyper aware because I'm traumatized from living in a world as an undiagnosed neurodivergent person who was told over and over and over again, that I was doing things wrong and I'm constantly like hyper Village like Vigilant and like Piper like looking for people to be mad at me and I'm like, that's a real problem and that's a real issue that needs to get solved by very Real therapy. That's not make a tick.
Talk about how like, oh, I don't like the vibe. So I must be psychic. I just I don't like it and like whether or not you believe is like, psychics as a whole. Like that's not what I'm talking about, you know, believe what you want in terms of that. But like, in conversation with this idea that like, knowing if somebody is mad at you or whatever, that's not being psychic that's hyper-vigilance as a result of trauma or just being a perceptive person.
It doesn't have to be trauma at all, but it's So misinformation either way. Well, I think one of the things that I wanted or that I feel and think about making it easy. Tick-Tock eighty HD content on Tick-Tock and I think, I think that video is a good sort of case study. So there was a video posted a while ago, by a Creator. I mean, there's been more than once, here's our spirit and there's a bunch of them. Now, there was a notably successful one and then there were several after that.
We're basically the premise of the video is people with ADHD are basically psychic. It didn't necessarily claim that we're literally In some magical way, they were talking about how people with ADHD do this. We are able to predict whatever but it was big, either way. It was a very experienced oriented thing. Yeah.
It was. This person saying, for me, it's sometimes feel like I'm psyche, which if you really work carefully, if you really say, you know, for me, it sometimes feels like I'm psychic because I can whatever. And you really Express that this is a personal experience thing. Sometimes it feels like this is the case if you really were to care. Ali. I could I could understand I could I want to say, I would get behind it, but I could understand where they're coming
from. They're trying to make light of something, you know, of something that is relevant to their mental disorder, which is, I think there's a place for, you know, making light of things that can be trauma basis. The problem is when, you know that that video is going to be seen by a fuck, Jillian of people, you have to be very precise about your language because it's really not about what you say. It's about what people are going
to hear. Yeah, and what really scares the shit out of me is I've noticed that if you just come out and say, people with ADHD are basically psychic, which this very popular person did, people are going to hear people with ADHD are basically psychic. However, if you do the other end of the one that I was pitching before, if you clarify very precisely and choose your language, very carefully to make it clear that you're using an analogy to clarify a personal
experiences of yours. If you do all the right stuff can or what I consider to be the right stuff. When you're Are talking about personal experiences clarifying that this is an objectively, true. This isn't sign space. This is just me talking about my personal experience. Even if you do all that stuff, a vast portion of people are still going to hear just that one part people with ADHD or basically psychic and that's what scares the ever-loving fuck out of the matter.
Like as a Creator, no matter how much I call or qualify and clarify that. I'm speaking from personal experience. This is an across-the-board, true. This isn't based on science done. This is just what it Like sometimes no matter how much I clarify, I still get a huge percentage of people who watch any given video, who seemingly think that I'm saying that it is blanket, true.
And this is true for you and this is true for everybody and if it's not true for you, then you don't have ADHD either way. I've always, you know, since I started making tick-tocks about ADHD, I've always sought to be very clear when I'm referencing science. Like this stuff is studied, you know, this this stuff is resolved to be true in the consensus statement or whatever or one study comes out that suggest something. Now everybody remember, this is
just one study. We don't know for sure. Like, whenever I'm talking about science. I try to be very clear. Exactly what I'm saying. And whenever I'm talking about personal experience, I try to make it very clear that I'm talking about personal experience in this is not rooted in science. This is rooted in my own experience, all that stuff. But after almost two years, well, yeah. Jesus almost two years of being on Tick-Tock making content like
as close to every day. As I can get, I started realizing that There's no. In a lot of ways, there's not really a difference because it doesn't matter what you say. It matters, what they hear and that's what sort of scares the shit out of me about ADHD. Tick-Tock got tet. Is it seemingly? No matter how fastidious you are about your wording. There are going to be a large
portion of well-meaning. Good people who take it in a way that is harmful to their mental health and harmful their to, their understanding of their own ADHD, or their own neurodivergent. See ya and that scares the living fuck out of me. It also makes me mad that some people Go, I don't give a fuck. Give me those views and they like yeah, I mean that's what I get frustrated about.
Like I'm thinking. This also ties really well into that fucking tweet that Elon Musk sent out about like how one time he heard from somebody that will butyrin isn't a good drug. So therefore should be completely taken off the market and and Adderall can cause anger issues.
So therefore everybody should steer clear of Adderall doing I made a video about it and actually, A lot of creators made a video about it and was fascinating to see the results of those videos because almost every Creator had the same experience where we all sat down and we made a video. We're like, let's talk about this statement. Let's talk about how dangerous this is.
Let's talk about the responsibility of having a platform and whatever and a bunch of people came into the comments and they either said, they said, one of two things they said so you're just so you're saying that, you know, Elon Musk doesn't have a right to free speech and I was like, no, I did not. That God. And the second one was, well, I had a bad experience and Wellbutrin there for, like people deserve to be informed about it, and he's right to say something.
And I'm like from Elon Musk, is does not count as being informed, well, and then informed about what bullshit Elon Musk tweeted. Well, and it's like, and I got so in the vibe with Kai, who is a creator that I love and admire so deeply had the same thing happen to him. This morning. He made a video about, like, hey, Wellbutrin literally saved my Life. It literally is the thing that kept me alive.
And somebody is like, yeah, well, and some other Creator posted a real shitty video that was, you know, about like well I had a bad experience and I was like, yeah different for everybody that's a point of the video like, you know, and I was like and I just I felt for him so much because it was, it was
that same thing. I was like I am not saying lie, saying that Elon Musk does not have a right to say, whatever the fuck he wants but saying whatever the fuck you want when you have 90 million followers on a platform that you're going to
own in three days. That carries far more social responsibility and ethical responsibility than just some random, you know, with, with like, does yelling into the parking lot at Denny's. Like, I don't like Adderall like great cool, nobody cares, but when you have a platform, you have a Social and ethical responsibilities, you have a moral responsibility whether or not it's against the law whether or not like, you know, could I get on Tick Tock and just tell
All lies about ADHD for views. Yes. I absolutely could and sometimes Eric on days like today where I got 86 whole new followers because Tick-Tock is suppressing the fuck out of my content for whatever fucking reason sometimes I'm really fucking time mad.
Now, sometimes I'm really fucking tempted to make a real salacious video or really like brought over a little overly generalized video or make the video about like, did you ever like feel like you're setting, you know, but Morally, I can I'd like as an as an educator and an advocate.
I can't bring myself to do it and the the the anger and the frustration, and the bed up itness that I feel looking at people like Elon Musk and some of like the larger craters on Tick-Tock who just go on and say whatever the fuck they want to say for the views are like for the like, oh, you know. I'm going to be controversial and Stirrup used, that is hurting people. It's hurting people.
It's negatively affecting people's mental health and it's just like, I'm scared all the time to like, I like, I work really hard to be right. I work really hard to do the research and read the studies, and quote, the studies properly, and make sure that what I'm saying comes with you. No good research and fact. And, you know, but even then the same thing happens to me like, oh, well, this doesn't happen to me. Therefore. I must not have ADHD or, you know, whatever it may be.
And it's just I don't know. It's like sometimes I really wonder like am I doing good? Like am I actually doing good? Because it's like for every person who says yeah, you know like your content is help me, are there other people who are watching my talk content going. Well, I did bad in school and she talks a lot about being, you know, burned-out gifted kids. So, I must not have ADHD or whatever like misplaced
assumption that they have. And I don't know, you know, it just makes me sad because it's like, I got into this to help people and the more that I do this in the heart, but like, it feels like the harder I work, the more pressure. There is two Be something for everybody in a way. That's just impossible. You know. Yeah. I mean, I think there's a danger in generality. Yeah. Both in making General statements, but also just trying to make I think the more General your content is the less.
Well, that's a larger claim that I want to make, but I mean it certainly makes you want to D specify or D specialized. Yeah, you know, I mean, that's why I think I've, I think I've been doing this subconsciously, but the more I think about it, it's sort. Comes to more into my regular Consciousness, but I've been rather than trying to say specific things about my experience with ADHD or even specific things about studies and shit coming out about ADHD.
I just want to be unabashedly a person who has ADHD. Yeah, just doing stuff. So that, you know, I mean, one of the most, the best things that has happened to me in like a year. Probably more than that or the most like spiritually, nurturing also. Was when I made I posed, a crafting challenge to tick tock I said make me a bridge at a tape or a hammock out of tape that can hold as many eggs as possible and a bunch of like kids, you know, like 12 13 year-old kids would sent they
sent me their videos. They only tag me in their little videos and they're like sitting there and just like a room, you know, and their parents won't buy them like, you know, power tools and whatnot. So, I just got a craft with whatever they have and they're like saying, okay. I'm I didn't have this so I had to go downstairs in front of the island as I was rummaging through my dad's workshop and I found this thing and actually turns out of works pretty well.
And like that was me as a kid to now like that was me as a kid and liked it felt so useless to do that. Like it felt like, you know what, I had nobody was buying, you know, I didn't do my homework on time. I couldn't do the reading but I could do that. Like I could have some weird idea on a Saturday and make it
work. Despite the fact that I don't have a car and can't drive to Home Depot, and the fact that those kids got to spend it. Doing that is the most meaningful thing in the world to me. And so, I've been trying to lately, just be period, just be the person that I have always been that.
I've never fed, never felt valuable that never felt employable, but just do that and That because you can't misinterpret that, you know, you can't misinterpret seeing a guy, happy doing weird, random shit and those fucking kids man. I just hope they know that. I love you. I love you too, sweetheart. Well, hey, that's it for this episode. I like that the weird. Like I got so mad and then Eric got super emotional and I was just like a really like that was like a very like ADHD episode.
Like I just feel there's an emotional range, that was emotionally all over the place, but I'm fine with it. Speaking of being all over the place. Hey, I did not see. People is segue. We actually have a bunch of stuff to talk to y'all about or in terms of where we're going to be what we're doing were really really excited. Um, but the so this next segment is going to be a little bit long, but please listen because it may pertain to you. Yeah, if you live in the following Lisa's. Yeah.
So basically we are getting our tour dates set. For the rest of the summer and into fall. And we have some really, really exciting ones coming up. First and foremost. We're going to be at Frolic on in Atlanta, in starting May 12. So just in a couple of weeks, so if you see us there, say hi, unless you're naked, then, wait until you're wearing clothes, then say, hi, because I get awkward. It's fine. We're also going to be at Momo Con in Atlanta and then we're

Of that was our first contest. There was a freshman in my first day. First day living in Atlanta. Yeah. We rocked up to my house at 4:00 in the morning.
