Adam is sharing how she now has a new app that allows her to make her own music videos, BB is now using the hippy “I don’t know if it’s forever man” argument about posting something to the internet.

BB is now asking if there will be a day when everyone has embarrassing material and can’t run for office, Alison and Adam once again agree that we’re already there as a society.

Adam is bringing up the Clinton “I didn’t inhale” line of BS and mocking the country for nobody calling him out, he’s comparing it to the Village People and how they flew under the collective gay radar despite not at all trying.
