In 2023, Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd was accused of fathering twins, but the pregnancy appeared to be a hoax. You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Owens, correct? I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing.

I'm Bailey Taylor, and this is It Girl. This podcast is all about going deeper with the women-shaping culture right now. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work behind it all.

93.864 - 105.115 Sagar Enjeti

As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated, so you have to work extra hard in a way that doesn't compromise who you are and your integrity. You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja.

I'll give it $2.

Again, I don't eat McDonald's, so it's one of those things where this is literally my only, and yes, I did use the app for all the people who got mad at me for not using the app. $4.50. $4.50. $4.50 for a medium fry. What the hell is going on?

Chapter 3: How is President Trump's intervention impacting the situation?

550.868 - 567.935 Krystal Ball

Listen, I have the luxury of being able to take a principled stand against the app, but I am against the app because they will track you. They will hunt you down and demand you go and eat a sausage biscuit or something. I used it one time. I don't need that kind of temptation in my life. And now all of a sudden, it's just like, hey, you want a free sausage? You want to free this?

0

567.955 - 590.271 Krystal Ball

You want to free that? I'm like... Well, is it really free? It's not free if you're paying $4.50 for a medium fry. I can post a receipt if anybody doesn't believe me. But to that point, let's go ahead and put C7 up here on the screen. Inflation coming to a gas station and or a grocery store near you. $5 diesel already crushing truckers will soon be felt across the economy.

590.251 - 601.446 Krystal Ball

It's a heartbreaking story. These poor guys. Yeah. I mean, these guys, they're like barely floating on the margins. And they're talking about this 40% increase month over month in the price of diesel.

601.846 - 617.727 Krystal Ball

If they say that they have to take lesser loads, that they have to drive in weird ways to avoid hills, that if they have a single blowout, that if they have an engine problem, their entire business is done. This is like the backbone. This is the, what is it? The one...

I think it's the one profession left in the US where you can reliably not have a college education, make like six figures, actually control your own destiny, especially if you're an independent contractor. If you save up enough to have your own rig and you can take jobs as you please, you have a little bit of work-life balance, even though it kind of sucks, obviously, to drive

635.105 - 652.616 Krystal Ball

as much as they have to do, but they make a modest amount of money and they can generally survive. So of course, that's also, as I understand it, the most MAGA six-figure profession in the United States. So yeah, literally screwing your own voters. It's not just about who they vote for. I mean, it's a tough, it's an incredibly tough job.

652.956 - 671.344 Krystal Ball

And it's the last bastion of some agency without, you know, signing up for a lifetime in front of a computer. So I really feel for these guys. 40% increase month over month. I mean, how many businesses, we run a business. If our costs weren't up 40%, I mean, we'd survive, but you start to make a lot of decisions, right?

671.384 - 694.48 Krystal Ball

There's a lot of stuff that's going to start getting cut, and especially planning for the future. So I really do feel for these truck drivers. And this gets passed on to consumers. And they talk about it in this article. They interviewed this guy, Miguel Quevedo. He says he spent $1,800 in diesel fuel during a one-week period. on the road. And that was a 40% increase from what he normally does.

694.941 - 709.062 Krystal Ball

And he recognizes, he's like, yeah, I know this is going to get passed on ultimately to consumers who are going to pay more for everything that I'm hauling because that's the way it works. It's not like the companies that are more profitable in the middlemen here are going to take the hit.
