The amount of stress and time it took me to get Taylor Swift tickets,
I will be getting an adult diaper because I'm not missing a minute of it.
We'll be having 17 left over, anyone attending the Houston show.
>> The American empire is doomed.
And that video is one example of why that's the case.
Full grown human adults who have control of their bladders are fessing up to
wearing depends, meaning adult diapers, as they enjoy the musical
talents of Taylor Swift because they, God forbid, might miss a second of
her performance if they need to go to the bathroom during the concert.
John, what say you about this trend?
>> I mean, if I could go to Taylor Swift for
free, I would go because I hear it's good.
I would not go through much that other people have had to deal with to go through
it, but I respect the love that these people have for the performance.
They wanna go to that more than I wanna go to literally anything.
And I wish that there was something that I was so
terrified of missing even a second for that, I would be willing to do that.
Look, there are worse things than wearing adult diapers,
plenty of people wear adult diapers.
They get through their life perfectly fine, it's not the end of the world.
Most babies I know wear diapers, and they get through it,
but the last live event that I guess I went, no, I've been to some others,
but anyway, I went to WrestleMania, which I was very excited for.
>> Did you wear a diaper?
>> I didn't want to miss anything, but no.
When I had to go to the bathroom, you know what I did?
I went to the bathroom, and I was drinking a lot of really big beers.
So that was happening a lot.
I was okay with it.
>> I like beer.
>> I still like beer.
>> [INAUDIBLE] through me.
So I was going to the bathroom, that's what happened.
>> Yeah, look, I'm not gonna pretend like I haven't been at some sort of
awesome event that I'm enjoying and then nature calls, and
I don't want to step away, I wanna continue enjoying what I'm watching.
No, I mean, I'm an adult, and so I would go to great lengths to avoid
having to wear a diaper when I don't have to.
But, okay, so look, wearing the diapers, that's one thing,
admitting on social media that you're wearing diapers,
this is why I think the American empire will collapse soon,
because why do we need to know about that?
Why don't you keep that your dirty little secret?
No sense of that TikTok but we're judging you.
>> You're judging, I'm not judging.
So I think there's one of at least two reasons why you would reveal that.
So one is that if you believe that it's a good idea, and if you think it can help
other people, then don't you have an ethical obligation to share good ideas.
>> No. >> The other explanation is that it's
almost certainly gonna get a lot of views.
>> That's why the American empire will collapse, because everyone
is obsessed with weird validation from randos and strangers online.
So they will put out anything that they think would garner some attention.
Anyway, I'm being like needlessly cruel to these TikTok, but I just think it's weird.
It's weird.
If you're gonna do it, do it, but we don't need to know about it.
In fact, a May 18 video with 264,900 views by
a user named Madelinedolaway shows a friend putting on
a diaper underneath her sparkly gold fringe dress for
the concert, showing off the short skirt that covers it.
Okay, I will allow what I'm about to read, I will allow it.
Am I not merciful?
A pregnant TikToker called BasicMeg, posted a video in April saying she
was considering wearing adult diaper pants for practical reasons.
Like, I have to pee every 30 minutes, I have a bladder infection, and
I've seen the lines at the concert, she said.
And I think I should just bring some Depends.
No, she gets a pass.
She 100% gets a pass, yeah.
>> Yeah, I think they all do it.
Just do it.
I don't know.
>> You're too open minded, John.
I need you to be a little more judgmental, please, okay?
>> I mean, I'm not necessarily gonna do it.
I kinda like stretching my legs.
Maybe I pick up a snack on the way.
I don't particularly mind that.
What I would say, though, is everybody is conveniently focusing on the people in
the crowd that are wearing Depends because they don't wanna miss anything.
What they should be focusing on is that according to what I read,
doesn't Taylor Swift perform like 41 songs in a row?
How is she getting through all that?
>> My God, a Taylor Swift concert sounds like hell.
>> No, I don't want that.
>> Music is not bad.
>> No, her music is great, I can enjoy it at home.
Her music is fine, I can enjoy it at home.
>> Look at you.
>> I like concerts, but I remember one of the worst concerts I went
to was at the Hollywood Bowl, it was a Dave Matthews Band,
Dave Matthews Band was performing and that concert would not end.
We're like six hours in and I was like-.
>> my God.
>> I'm going to slip my wrist.
When is this gonna end?
And I was with a group of people that were obsessed with Dave Matthews Band.
So there was no leaving early.
We were there, we were stuck.
So even if it's an artist that I enjoy, bounds of reason, same with movies,
I think that there should be a 1 hour and 30 minutes cut off for all movies.
>> Who does that, hell?
>> [INAUDIBLE] they all need to be banned, they're unacceptable.
>> You are out of your mind.
I would probably wear, if there was a Marvel movie that was, three and
a half hours long, I would potentially wear the Depends for that.
But no, some of the best movies in the world are, like, two and a half,
three hours long.
>> Titanic.
>> Yeah.
>> Titanic I enjoy, I can sit through Titanic, it's over three hours long.
Excellent movie, but that's it, Tthat's about it.
>> Fine.
Sure.
[LAUGH].
Anyway, yeah, I guess I just appreciate live art more than you, I suppose.
>> No, I love live art, but not enough to wear a diaper to consume it.
You get what I'm saying?
And you don't love live art more than I do.
You hate concerts.
You hate music.
>> I'm going to a concert in a couple of weeks.
Can you say the same?
>> Hold on.
>> I attend live theater wrestling.
I have season tickets to Angel City Football Club.
I'm out there, baby, okay?
Living it up post COVID.
>> So there's a wrestling show called, That's Awesome?
>> Yes.
>> And I only know about it because I caught my husband watching it yesterday.
And you know what?
I kind of got into it.
>> I know what it is.
I've never watched it.
Wait, how into wrestling is your husband?
Do I need to talk to him about wrestling?
>> Yeah, you should.
He does love wrestling.
>> Okay, come over and we should watch it together.
>> He totally should, give me a little bit of loan time.
I'm into it.
>> Yeah, he's gonna bring Charlie?
[LAUGH].
>> Maybe not.
Maybe not.
Now, I do want to draw our attention to one other thing,
because wearing diapers at mass gatherings is not a new thing.
So while I've been particularly harsh toward these TikTokers, and
I apologize for that, there have been other individuals who have admitted
on live national television that they are currently wearing diapers.
And this ABC News video from 2016 is a good example of what I'm talking about.
>> What is the hardest thing about coming down here for Times Square new Year's Eve?
>> There's no bathroom, so we wear diapers.
>> You wear diapers?
>> We're wearing diapers.
>> For real?
>> For real.
>> Well, I guess that makes three of us, I have the G string selection,
it's not working out for me very well.
I do not recommend.
>> I mean, do you disagree with their plan?
>> Their plan to watch the ball drop is mistake number one.
>> Well, sure, but if you're gonna do that,
I would assume a very high percentage of all of the people in that crowd awareness.
There's literally no bathroom.
>> No, no, look,
if you're gonna make the mistake of caring enough to put yourself in one of the most
uncomfortable situations imaginable just to watch a stupid sparkly ball drop for
New Year's Eve or to ring in the new year, then, yeah, you have no choice.
You either pee in your pants or you pee in your Depends.
And so it depends.
It really depends.
>> And you are not in your most festive mood lately.
If you make the stupid decision, watch a dumb ball drop.
Haven't you been to Burning Man or Coachella or something?
>> No, I have been to Coachella, but you're on drugs when you're at Coachella.
I have not been at Burning Man, you're on drugs at Burning Man as well,
from what I hear.
And your tolerance for discomfort,
I think increases significantly, let's just put it that way.
When you're on certain illicit substances like MDMA, everything feels-.
>> For example?
>> For example, I wouldn't know anything about it-.
>> You know what? >> That's what I hear.
The people are saying, the people are saying.
>> I'm gonna guess filling up a pair of Depends probably is pretty awesome on
MDMA, try it.
>> I wouldn't know.
I would not know.
