WELCH: Ladies and Chads of all flavors, welcome back to the Tawk Tuah podcast! I’m your host, Haliey Welch, and today, we have a treat. Gathered here we have some elite panelists from all over the galaxy to discuss a very important issue: is the word “Demure” Brainrot? But before we discuss that burning question, let’s meet the panelists. From left to right, we have musician Taylor Swift—
LDR: Actually I’m Lana Del R—
WELCH: —Ex Patriot Rob Gronkowski—
GRONK: huh?
WELCH: —The QAnon Shaman—
Q: Thanks so much for the opportunity to be on this podcast.
WELCH: —and last but not least, local seventh grader and member of Gen Alpha Brody—
BRODY: AAAWWWOOOOOOOO!
WELCH: Thanks for that comment. Alright folks, let's dive right into this thang. Well start with our expert Brody: Is the word “demure” brainrot?
BRODY: ewm, I don’t know, pewchance. I want to mew the goonsquad to weally sus out what the sigma is weally happening with this beta demuwe wizz that is ciwculating Ohio. Until then, only Livvy Dunne and Baby Gwonk hold the answew.
GRONK: ME NO BABY! YOU BABY. ME AT LEAST GRONK IN ADOLESCENCE.
BRODY: Tom Bwady mogs you, Patwiot scum.
Q: Gentlemen, I feel like this is getting rather uncivilized. We must pursue peaceful means of conflict resolution.
WELCH: Thank you, Mr. Shaman. Lovely horns, by the way. What do you think, Lana? Is Demure brainrot?
LDR: Well, I think it’s rather glorious that you're asking me, because I recently had a run in with a no name small time singer/songwriter who believed very strongly that demure was not a word so much as a physical essence of being, and I tend to embrace that in my music, which many online and offline commentators have called demure.
WELCH: How thought provoking, yet refined and mindful. Brody, do you have something to add?
BRODY: What in the litewal lamda?
Q: I can explain, Brody. Miss Del Rey is a coquette with big Girl Next Door energy, and after this past summer, she has been left between her old cottagecore ways and “brat,” which is high intensity and sweepingly popular. Because of this, she is put in a really odd situation where she is trying to straddle both ends of the spectrum, and the only real word keeping it together is “demure.” If one just follows the white rabbit, everything is there.
BRODY: Thanks OG.
WELCH: I think we’ve heard from everyone except Gronk. Gronk? What are your thoughts?
GRONK: Me, Gronk Gronkowski, more open than you. Maybe Demure just regular word. Maybe demure isn’t even that good, but has really good QB. Gronk thinks it hard to tell.
BRODY: Bwo is twying to go fwom the scween to the wing to the pen to the king. Gwonk, you’we not beta, owr even a epsilon, you’we an upsilon.
Q: Brody! Control yourself! If he goes there, we all have to go there
WELCH: Well, that’s about it for time! Thanks for coming over everyone, and I’ll see you on the next episode of Talk Tuah!
