And we're back with Keep It. I'm Ira Madison III. I'm Louis Fertel. And I'm Aida Asman. And I have no emotions left. Why these Oscar nominations hallowed me out. Absolutely drained. Okay, we will get to that in a minute. Okay. Right now we are all players in the circle.

People are really obsessed with one guy in the circle in particular, right? Yes. Yes. Okay, that needs to be explained to me.

Emo Black Thought.

Start a private chat with Joey. Yes. Let me explain it to people. It is a reality show based on a British format, which involves eight players being in a complex.

Okay. They're all in different apartments and they can't see each other and they can only interact with one another on the circle, which is a voice activated computer system. Okay. So they can't see each other. Okay. Not at all. But they can message one another. All right.

And basically you can pretend to be anyone you want or you can be yourself. Hmm. A couple people are using other people's photos and pretending to be someone else to get people to like them more.

Because the people who are unpopular get blocked from the circle. Hmm. Oh. And the winner at the end will win the money. Why would you assume the other players are using legitimate photos of themselves? You can't. That's the part of the fun of it too is that you don't know who's being sincere or not. Some of them are because some people are like, you know, I'm fun. I'm loveable. Yeah. People will like me. Some people are like people with like who I am because you know they have lived in the world and they have watched reality TV before too. And it sounds.

Distopian. Yeah. But I think it's actually surprisingly very genuine. Hmm. It shocks me. How much I like some of these people and their reasonings for why they think someone is fake and their reasonings for like why they wouldn't want to be someone else. Like there's this lesbian Karen. Yeah.

This 37 year old like stud from the Bronx and she's trying to be like this cute like black home in Mercedes is like younger and like pretty girl gang and like because she thinks that's what people would like instead of her. And I'm like, they don't like.

They don't. And it's so fun. She would just better self. I feel like they would have liked her. It's so fun to watch her try and figure out how to be feminine with other girls. She's like, I guess this is what girls say and she'll start girl chats and like not really know what to do. And there's another. I don't know his name.

But there's a boyfriend who's using his girlfriend's photos because he's like it's people like girls better. That's.

Seaburn. Is that his name? So these people are isolated in different apartments. They're in different rooms. Got it. Okay. His name is Seaburn. And I called him. Emo Black thought. If you remember that Twitter fiasco of the guy who is pretending to be a warm a black woman forever on social media.

This guy is pretending to be using his girlfriend's photos and talking about cramps and really trying to be a woman. He's doing a good job too.

He's doing a good job. How close is this to my beloved the mole, Ira?

Uh, it's not moly in the sense that there's not cases and trying to solve anything. But there are a lot of people talking back and forth about how whether or not you can even believe the person you're talking to is who they say they are.

Got it. So I mean, so is there a lot of paranoia to.

Yes. There's so much paranoia because the big brother element of that obviously. Yeah.

Because obviously if you're flirting with someone and sliding in your DMs like you could be being catfished. Yeah. Yeah. And once it gets further in like they start like realizing that a couple of people are really catfishing us, but they don't know who.

Yeah. Also, and there's no way to prove that you're not a catfish. Obviously because they never see each other.

You can't see each other. It's all the end. So in a way, do you end up hating the people who just choose themselves because they're like narcissists who believe they're really good people or no.

I mean, I really love. Well, so there's the first girl who got kicked off, which was hilarious because she would thrive on like a big brother. Right. Yes.

But this is real people who are like, this is blonde girl comes in. She's like, oh, I'm a full-time model. You know, like tacos every day. Like that's what describes her.
