First 90 secondsMichelle Andrews· Host0:00
I can't stop thinking about what Doja Cat tweeted about Elon Musk, like, probably, like, three weeks ago now That's why I sometimes think, like, we are too hard on ourselves to be quick to stories. [laughs] But, like, no, I was quick to this, and then I, I read it and I was like, "Oh my God, what a niche..." This is vicious, by the way.
Zara McDonald· Host0:17
Okay.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:17
I'm not, I'm not endorsing anyone talking about anyone else in the way Doja Cat has written this tweet.
Zara McDonald· Host0:24
Okay.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:24
But she has received 408,000 likes.
Zara McDonald· Host0:27
Wow.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:27
And it has stuck in my memory just because of the nicheness of the insult ever since.
Zara McDonald· Host0:32
Was it also 408,000 likes on Twitter?
Michelle Andrews· Host0:34
Yeah.
Zara McDonald· Host0:35

Michelle Andrews· Host0:37
Yeah, it's on- So that's probably 100 million likes It's like rocking up to his house- Yeah ... and giving him the most eviscerating niche.

Zara McDonald· Host0:54
Sure.
Michelle Andrews· Host0:54
I'm not gonna read you the first line. "Thanks, you frog-billed bitch. Barrel-chested Ewok. You look like you eat sand."
Zara McDonald· Host1:02
Oh.
Michelle Andrews· Host1:03
"You look like you eat sand" is so- Is such a niche insult ... and people loved it. I mean, it got retweeted 45,000 times. "You look like you eat sand."
Zara McDonald· Host1:14
What's the most niche insult you've ever got?
Michelle Andrews· Host1:16
Uh...
Zara McDonald· Host1:18
Do you know, um, someone accidentally responded to my Instagram story this week instead of sending it to their friends?
Michelle Andrews· Host1:23
No.
Zara McDonald· Host1:23
I know, and- With an insult ... about both of us.
Michelle Andrews· Host1:26
Oh.
Zara McDonald· Host1:26
Mm-hmm.
Michelle Andrews· Host1:27
Oh.
Zara McDonald· Host1:28
