Make sure to follow our guest: Instagram: instagram.com/likekaliscott What happened to the American Dream? We were raised to believe that if you worked hard, went to school, got a job, and played by the rules, you could eventually build the life you wanted. But for a new generation, that promise looks very different. In this episode, we get into the changing idea of the American Dream, why younger people question whether hard work actually leads to homeownership and financial security, whether college still provides the same value it once did, and why real-world experience may teach you more than a classroom ever could. And because this is Damn Internet You Scary, we also get into dating, hookup culture, relationship expectations, the “We All Hoes” philosophy, dating someone with pets, why people should probably ask about your dog's sleeping arrangements before getting serious, generational differences, work ethic, and why everyone is in sales now — whether they realize it or not. Featuring comedian and content creator Kali Scott, this conversation goes everywhere — from dating and dogs to college, careers, money, relationships, and whether the American Dream is still something people can realistically chase. What do you think? Is the American Dream actually dead, or does it just look different now? #AmericanDream #Dating #GenZ #Relationships #WorkCulture #College #DamnInternetYouScary Join our Patreon now!! https://www.patreon.com/DamInternetYouScary

We take a deep dive into some genuinely shocking news, starting with a food industry warning about ground beef and the reality of how processed foods are handled. From there, we cover the miraculous story of a Staten Island man who survived a direct lightning strike on his way to the dentist, and investigate a bizarre case in Greece involving a woman accused of starting wildfires just to catch the attention of firefighters. Plus, we tackle the eternal internet debates: can you actually die from being tickled, and could you realistically win a 1v1 fight against a chimpanzee? We also touch on some of the stranger headlines of the week, including R. Kelly's petition for a presidential commutation and a look at the latest Space Force uniform updates.

On this episode of Dam Internet, You Scary!, Tahir and Patrick get into humanoid robot competitions, AI fears, the economy, food and restaurant safety, tipping and delivery-app prices, a reported Power Rangers-related burglary story, and whether it might finally be time to move somewhere and start a farm. Then the conversation gets more personal. Tahir talks about getting older and reconsidering what success actually means: Does he still want maximum Hollywood fame, or would making great work for an audience that genuinely cares be enough? That leads to a conversation about comedy as a craft, short attention spans, IRL streaming, artistic freedom, celebrity, privacy, and why artists like Yasiin Bey, Erykah Badu, Curren$y, and Terence Crawford represent a different kind of success.

Tahir Moore and Patrick Cloud are running on fumes after a marathon day filming their first independent project — but Dam Internet, You Scary! still has plenty to get into. They break down what it took to shoot 32 of 41 planned scenes in one day, the cast and crew who stepped up to make it happen, and why creators may be better off making the project themselves instead of waiting for Hollywood to say yes. Then the internet takes over: a major earthquake hits during surgery in Japan, Tahir and Patrick debate college and practical education in the creator era, a long list of food recalls makes everything in the kitchen feel suspicious, and a Vegas hotel story leaves them wondering where marketing ends and deception begins. Also in the episode: sexually transmitted Shigella, hygiene debates, a sperm donor lawsuit, a terrifying glass bridge incident, contaminated raw oysters, sushi paranoia, and why one viral video isn't enough to build a sustainable creator career.

They even put the theory to the test with their own intentionally staged podcast confrontation. Elsewhere, the guys react to a jet ski crash at Lake Lanier, a man surviving a jump from the Brooklyn Bridge, two Forest Service employees being taken hostage, a rare shrimp-virus story, Switzerland’s surprisingly strict guinea pig rules, and the never-ending battle between frightening headlines and common sense. Tahir also looks back on sleeping in a running car during an early comedy audition trip, appearing on MTV’s Yo Momma, and the roasting culture surrounding the early All Def days.

Tahir Moore is back from Festival at Sea with a win. In this episode of Dam Internet, You Scary!, Tahir tells Patrick Cloud how he won a multi-round comedy competition aboard an eight-day cruise, performed for a packed theater, and prepared each set like he was studying game footage. He also explains why observational jokes gave him an advantage, how cruise passengers became new supporters, and why that exposure may be worth more than the prize itself. Tahir and Patrick also discuss first-time cruise advice, an alleged KFC drive-through confrontation, the best pieces of fried chicken, dog-leash etiquette, a police encounter that took an unexpected turn, Rick Ross’s recent public image, and why established rappers may be underestimating the influence of streamers and podcasters.

Khleo Thomas joins Tahir Moore and Patrick Cloud to talk about Dream Con, cosplay, childhood acting, entertainment contracts, social-media criticism, and the importance of protecting your professional value. Khleo shares his perspective on Dream Con’s growth, recalls unexpectedly being asked to host Gatekeepers, and explains how his ability to adapt has helped him move between acting, gaming, streaming, producing, hosting, and brand work. Tahir also reflects on attending his first convention and fully committing to his Hamburglar and Ruby Rhod cosplays. The group revisits forgotten fast-food mascots and early-2000s technology before Khleo tells two memorable behind-the-scenes stories: a haircut on Walking Tall that conflicted with an existing agreement and the lengthy prosthetic process required for an episode of House. The conversation becomes more personal as the three discuss favors, rates, boundaries, therapy, rage bait, reality television, Khleo’s online “villain arc,” and why respect matters in every professional environment. 00:00 Khleo Thomas joins the show01:17 Looking back at Dream Con03:50 Why Dream Con matters to Black creators05:31 Khleo’s busiest Dream Con experiences06:17 How Khleo became the Gatekeepers host07:47 The “Swiss Army Khleo” reputation08:33 Khleo’s brand partnerships and Kraft jokes10:11 Can packaged food be upgraded?11:33 The origin of “Mr. Brand Face”13:22 Tahir’s Hamburglar and Ruby Rhod cosplay15:19 Sponsor: IndaCloud17:28 Surviving cosplay in the Houston heat18:34 Why the Hamburglar still matters21:09 Forgotten fast-food mascots25:36 Are traditional mascots disappearing?27:11 What happens when an actor becomes a brand’s face28:29 Denzel Washington and pay-or-play contracts30:54 Khleo’s ABC agreement before Walking Tall31:33 The haircut that created a contract problem34:06 Sponsor: Cash App35:54 Seeing Khleo’s Walking Tall haircut36:25 Khleo’s prosthetic transformation on House38:43 Passing time before smartphones39:45 The Sidekick era41:12 Two-way pagers and early mobile technology44:09 Jay-Z’s influence on fashion and music trends45:16 How “Death of Auto-Tune” affected T-Pain46:14 When industry favors are not returned47:13 Khleo and Tahir discuss protecting their value48:22 What professional appearances should cost50:27 “Be humble in person and a shark in business”51:22 Why successful people need insulation52:57 Therapy, boundaries, and learning to say no53:54 The origin of Khleo’s “villain arc”56:05 The manufactured nature of reality television57:10 Concerns about conflict-driven reality programming01:00:01 Rage bait and disengaging from online narratives01:02:31 Why one “be humble” comment got a response01:04:25 Khleo’s warning about future negative press01:05:06 Khleo’s history with event security01:06:08 What happened at the Bad Boys premiere01:09:06 Respect, authority, and temporary power01:11:36 Why event staff should ask before assuming01:13:33 Intervening during a security misunderstanding01:16:18 Khleo’s upcoming convention appearances01:18:12 Tahir and Patrick share upcoming projects01:18:36 Closing the episode Join our Patreon now!! https://www.patreon.com/DamInternetYouScary #KhleoThomas #DamInternetYouScary #DreamCon #TahirMoore#PatrickCloud#DIYS#DreamCon#Cosplay#RubyRhod#WalkingTall#HouseMD#ChildActor#HollywoodStories#CreatorEconomy#KnowYourWorth#InternetCulture#RageBait#PodcastInterview
