On this episode, they cover how cultural norms have changed from the early 2000s to the present day. They discuss what has driven these changes, what constitutes a fad, why certain trends become popular, and why they eventually fade away. They also talk about how the trend of cancel culture has led to people feeling ousted from society if they make one mistake from the past. They suggest that this can lead to a decreased willingness to change in order to avoid being cancelled.

In the last few years, cultural norms have changed due to the pressures of race, politics, COVID, and other issues. People are more focused on certain aspects of life that may have not been as prevalent before. It's documented now more than ever, and this has put us in a unique position. We live in a time where people feel a lot of pressure to be politically correct and sensitive, but at the same time, there are many things that have become public that would not have been before. This has created an interesting dynamic, where it can be difficult to know what is acceptable to say. 

Carlie and Jonmichael, discuss the difficulties of being a parent in today's world, where cultural influences have changed and the concept of an influencer is commonplace. They agree that although people-pleasing is often tempting, it is important to draw a line between accepting people and promoting behavior that goes against their moral and ethical values. They also talk about the balance between being a parent and a friend, and how it is important to be open and honest with their children about their past experiences. Furthermore, they emphasize the importance of being aware of what is influencing their children and creating open dialogues about it, so that their kids can learn from them rather than from unreliable sources.

The conversation continues about fads from the 1980s and 1990s that have influenced people's aspirations and body image, and how these trends still have an effect today. Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Alexa were mentioned as people the speakers looked up to when they were nine. They discussed the pegging of jeans, and the rap group Chris Cross and how they wore their jeans backwards and bibs, which caused the speakers to wear their jeans backwards too. The conversation then moved to why these trends were made up and why people ended up doing them.
