Speaker 3 (00:57):
Where are we stuff? Nobody knows?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
And go all right, we are back. Guys, were ready
to get into feedback. We've got some great feedback today.
The first bit of feedback is from the facy back
from Facebook, and Matt and Greg both share the New
York Times movie list movies how many they've seen? I
believe last week? And I know I just finished editing
(01:22):
it like two days ago. But I don't think any
of us. Did any of us break fifty they were
doing it.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I can't remember her remember, but I think I was
over fifty.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
You were over fifty. Okay, were you were as high
as eighty five? Because that is what macat no.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I was definitely not.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Because you guys try to watch the Oscar movies every year?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Would you try and watch the Oscar movies?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And Martha was too young for a lot of the
movies because she's like five years old and Alice doesn't
watch I'm just kidding. We love me Martha. Uh Martha
who is a mean librarian.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Oh wait, I haven't both. I have mine still up.
I have seen fifty six. Oh nice? Uh, you know
it was over fifty but barely.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Girl. It's been three weeks and you haven't shut those tabs.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Nope, Wow, you should do that.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Man, I close out every day.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I turn to be fair. But I do have the
thing where you re launch churl and it's like, do
you want to open all your old tabs?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah? Sure I do, so let me see mine.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I mean, I've got tabs open definitely longer than that.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Wow, that's impressive.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Well, because I open stuff and I just don't get
to it because I'm not on this computer every day,
and I'm just like, well, if I close the tab,
I will never get to it.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
And that's no kind of grades.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay, I've seen.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Fine.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I just I reopened my uh saved and I have
thirty nine, which I feel like I had hired the
other time. This is not any This is not new
news for anybody listen to the episode like three days ago,
but for us it's brand new news again. You go,
Amanda Cooco. So yeah, that's C eighty five grade seas
(03:23):
Greg seen sixty two. Matt shared how AI, like Spotify,
AI broke up our show and it's pretty good, except
they leave out a very important part of what we
talked about. So here it is intro. Martha's in a
new time zone? Do you guys record together now? Paul
(03:46):
Is was in China, Paul in China, Fabletics COVID Shandy
the Doe is officially allowed to be disbanded. Upcoming new, upcoming,
upcoming album and feed back. It conveniently skips over the
fact that we have that lady whose husband refused the
letter organism, which I did check for an update. There
(04:12):
are no updates other than she talked to him about
it and he still refused. So everybody's pretty much in
agreement that perhaps.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Divorces in your future.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's just wild. This is a control thing. It's weird.
Blah blah blah. Okay, we don't need to rego over it,
Matt says, I'm sure Colleen is required by law to
see the new Billy Joeldoc and so it goes. I'm
only a third through the first part. It's almost five
hours total. If you haven't seen it yet. It's good
so far and directed by two women, Susan Lacey and
(04:46):
Jessica Levin. Also, I posted before such Brave Girls as
the best show you're probably not watching. Superficial trailer for
season I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Trailer, thank you. Yes, it looks very good.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I think I'm going to at aitude list good.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I forgot to upda finish and.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I was gonna say once I finish Fargo, we actually
we have some updates. We finished the first season of Fargo,
and then we went back and watched the movie. It
was rewatched for Frank, but he hadn't seen it for
a long time. Yeah, and it was the first time
for me seeing it. And now I understand why and
how like that. Yeah, it's not a true story. Okay,
(05:29):
but if you tell me to believe you. But anyway,
it was really interesting to watch the movie after the
first season because similarities with some differences and anyway.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
That was just that was just really interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And now we're onto the second season, but there are
five of them, so at some point, at.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Some point we'll watch.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's kind of nice how to break it up, like
we took some time in between season one and season two,
so maybe I'll advocate for such brave girls nice to
the rotation.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
The Billy Joel documentary. I have not watched it yet
because it came out when I was like, come, I on,
I believe. But I did read a total like profile
review about it, so I know a lot of it
and I'm looking at it too.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Was it a positive review?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yes, okay, I mean it was from People, which you know,
the pr people go to, so it wasn't like, you know, dude,
I am now getting I.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Have been getting People magazine for the first time in
like fifteen years. It just like started showing up in
my inbox.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I'm not paying for it, it's just like showing up.
I'm just like getting People magazine and I'm like, okay,
I guess I am a person that reads People Magazine again.
It's weird. It's so weird to like drop.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That is weird. Yeah, I'm like, oh right, and your
name is on the thing.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's not like what interesting, It's like I'm my own
like dentist office or something. Just like should I leave
it on the coffee table for like guests.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Leave it in the bathroom? Yes? Oh god, it's so funny.
We are. Yeah, that's super random. If you send Amanda
a gift subscription to people. I bet Julia did because
she had like some kind of credit card offer, but
she would.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Have told me. I saw her down to the beach.
I saw her in person. It was great.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Oh yeah, she might have just forgotten to tell you that.
But yeah, I'm gonna watch the Billy Joel document. Should
watch it too, from my worst dand it really is
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
He talked about.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm sorry I didn't see you as a he's famous.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
He's famous in the whole country.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
He is, but he's most famous for us.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And I do love the title. That is actually my favorite.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I do agree, so it goes.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I reminded me. I like I've started singing it again,
like in the bedtime routine. I don't often. I'm not
often asked to sing a bedtime song. But when I do,
I like change it up for myself and I.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Was like this singu saving strong. Mm hmmm. I started
singing for the longest time tonight at dinner for some reason,
and uh it's oh yeah, and all the boys and
Jay they they they did it. And then I got
to the point was like, funk, I got to pull
(08:36):
up the lyrics because we're like going with this. Yeah,
I think so it goes is probably my favorite two
my parents. Their wedding song they danced to was You're
My Home.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, a little.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Let me get a b a song.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Okay. Mad also shares his fan ballad for the thing.
His top ten choices were Wally, Shot of the Dead,
your Name, We're all ten, and Bounds and Glorius Bastards
the substance There will be Blood, Mad, Max Fury Road
Boyhood and r r r hmm. Mine is still a
(09:22):
bunch of a spotless mind and all the Lord of
Ritts movies. I'm a simple creature with last crusade thrown
him there all right? Then, moving on, Ro says topic
just fun. What is a clothing item that you still
haven't wear, but you refuse to throw away even though
(09:44):
you'd want no other human being on earth to see
it on you, except for those people that you live with,
because you would crawl in a hole and die with
major embarrassment. Ro says, I have a pair of purple
nylon is shorts that are older than this centur have
a couple of holes in them, and our wrinkle af
will fall off if they didn't have a drawstring and
(10:06):
are faded in spots. But I love them so much
because they are comfy as hell, feel like comfy as hell.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, well, reframe, you still fit into these shorts that
this century so.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah snaps for you. Yeah that is a big deal.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That is a big deal, But who cares be proud?
They sound great.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Most of the clothes that I hang on to.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That I like don't wear are I just clothes I
don't really fit anymore.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
But I really love them and keep thinking that maybe
someday I will fit into them.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That's my thing too. I'm like after COVID, I was like,
it's only a few pounds, I'm gonna get back into these,
And then like after forty I was like, it's sounding
like ten pounds these and now I'm like, I don't know,
(11:08):
maybe the universe is trying to tell me that we'll
see I'm gonna but I but I love them exactly
and they're compy and there. Yeah, I don't even know
if I can name them by name because there's actually
quite a few of them.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
But it's like half of my closet.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, exactly, and you know, someday it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I believe opposite. I feel like I'm starting to get
better about Okay, this is like I'm saving these clothes
for like some like future post pandemic world that like
I'm clearly not living in, so like I have gotten
better about just.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That's your legacy to eat in.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
You're like, here's the clothes in No, like I've just
been like thread uping. I'm like, you know, like I
either donate or I send it to thread up and
I'm I love that. It's just you know, like.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Because it used to be much better than that.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But yeah, like it's it's cute, or like it just
doesn't fit me right, or it's just like not in
style anymore, like, so just it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I actually listed a bunch of things on Poshmark in
like twenty twenty two, I'm not even kidding, and then
they never sold. So I listed them in like twenty
twenty three on Facebook Marketplace, and one of them sold
out of nowhere while I was at Comacan. So the
deadline to because you have it must have been July
(12:36):
twenty three that it's sold, because you're the deadline is
one week to ship it or you have to like
refund and cancel it, but they don't give you the
money for four weeks after you like sell it. Anyway,
excuse it, and we thank god we landed on the
twenty ninth because I was able to mail it out
on the thirtieth and that was like my due date.
But I couldn't believe it. I was like, oh my god,
these things are in Alex's closet now, like I've totally
(12:59):
forgotten about them. So maybe, Amanda, this is my start
of being like you, being more like you.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, I mean this shirt came from thread Up, like
fun out in, out in. I'm trying to just like
be better.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Dressing for now, dressing for the body I've got now,
for the lifestyle I've got now, Like yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, that's the thing like as we get older where
we have to be Like your body is different, your
lifestyle is different. It doesn't mean that you're not healthy.
It doesn't mean that you're not this or that, or
you're this or lazy or whatever. Like it's just different.
Like you're going through some things and not everything. You're
going to be able to control and just gotta deal
(13:44):
with it as it good.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
What's that part? It's like my lifestyle is different now,
Like I don't go to an office every day, yes,
just like the I'm keeping all of these like B
level office clothes for a long you just don't live
in anymore exactly in shape because only going into the
office like a couple of times a month. I can
just have the A level office close, Like I don't
(14:08):
need the ones I don't like as much because I'm
never gonna get to them.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And you're staying in shape in case the zombie apocalypse
does actually hit your office.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Uh yeah, I gotta outrun those uh those zombies.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
H Yeah, bro, I hope we answered your question even
though we give you specifics. But yeah, I for me,
it's basically right now kind of everything. But yeah, I
need someone to hold my hand.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah. No, I'm trying to be better about like, yeah,
maybe my bathrobe.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Mmm, no, keep your bathroom.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Bathrooms are the bestain No, just morified if other people
outside of your family, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Man, my bathroom is purple.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I'm I'm fine with being seen it.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I have two bathrooms now. I have my nice, like
comfy one for winter time. But I brought that one
back from the hotel room in Japan and I wear
that ship all the time. I I tie.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
It on the side like I was taught. I'm still
civilized millennial. I forgot all about that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
But it's definitely a little nippily because it's thinner, so
I've gotta be careful.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
But at home, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Exactly exactly. Uh no, yeah, I was gonna say nips
out dixau, but that's not right. Alex found a pair
of shorts today that was in his closet room. I
thought I had gotten them all, but it was like
a two tea. He put it on and it was
just like You're like, no, baby, you cannot leave that,
(16:05):
and he was like why not? They're comfortable, and like
we went through it for like a good forty five
second with him before Jay finally was like, because we
can see the outline of your penis in these shorts,
you cannot across the street. Like these are really small.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
They do not I don't know how in everyone's life
where we learned about fit.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yeah, Like what did he say to that? How did
he react?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He just looked down and he was like, so what
And Jake was like, you just don't want to do that.
You're going to go to the neighbor's house.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
They've been.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's cool because all our neighbors are home from camp
this week, so like they've all been just back and
forth from all the houses and that's where you're like, Alex, no,
you just see those up and he was like, so what,
They're comfy and we were like, no, they.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Can be a house shorts.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, no, these are these because we do have ones
where we're like, oh, these are very whatever, and we're like,
these are your weekend shorts, but not these shorts. These shorts, guys,
they were like higher than mid die short.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Gonna go.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I thought that I had gotten all of those from
his closet. I don't know how those were still in there,
but I missed them.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Swear like kids close they like hide in.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Places they hide.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
They literally accidentally bought a pair of two T shorts.
I swear they were fourteen when I bought them, and
they were magically two team when I brought them home.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, Glitchen the matrix baby.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Kids wearing home, I like I had to like hide,
I'm like hiding them like under the other things that
she's outgrown. It just yeah, yeah, they grow out. Yeah,
they grow out of clothes too fast. It's like it's
too hard to keep them organized.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Well, our problem is, for the longest time, Alex didn't
grow out of clothes, don't. He was in a size
like like three T for like three fucking years, Like
we skipped four and five T and you just never
got there fucking wild. So yeah, it's just it's it's
it's hard for him to be like, but why can't
I wear these? Were like because really you grew like overnight,
(18:22):
but you're taller.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Now, congratulations, you did it, buddy it.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Now if you could only lose some teeth, because Zachary's
dentist was like, hey, he's gonna lose ten teeth the
summer this summer and he's already lost like four of
those fucking teeths. I mean that doctor, that dentist was right.
I know. We were like, shoot, there, he's gotta go
at m.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
How can he tell that the.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Because they did. They did their yearly X rays and
the roots were fairly connected for Zach for the last ten.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Of his teeth. Yeah, that makes wild, just like can
you just tell looking at him?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, no, no, no tell me. And with Alex, he
looked at Alex and he was like, so when did
he lose his baby teeth? And I was like, not
till he was like a year old. And he was like, Okay,
that checks. Because Alex is a glosse at all, he's
lost too, and that's it.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Moving on, Bandy says that Maddy and I were school shopping,
which meant the colored folders color folders for corresponding classes
came up. She then asked if the days of the
week where the colors of the rainbow, what color would
each day be?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I love this. I think we would go from lighter
to darker.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, I think you would have to. Yeah, I agree,
How else would you do it? Right?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
So would chaos? Yeah, Monday can't be read? What are
we talking about?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, well, let's let's see there's a Are we starting
the week at Sunday? Are we starting the week at Monday?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Oh? I guess it depends if you're European, French, European
or French. I guess it depends on European American. Yeah,
welway Sunday. That's the normal convention system.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
If you're gonna, if you're Mondays coming.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, but I mean it is it is called the
week end.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That's true, that's end the week with.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
But but yeah, I mean who is it?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Red? And orange?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, indigo, violet.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So Sunday could be the neutral day. Red is Monday,
orange is Tuesday, Green is Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yellow, yellow, you've got yellow is Wednesday? Yellow?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Before we go way, before we go red?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Why because we're going to dark.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yellow is lighter than red.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Oh, I see what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
But why wou't you go dark to light? Because lighter
and lighter it is the happy you are.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeh see, I'm just going straight up, guys, we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Because isn't the colors of the rainbow dark to light?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
No, not exactly?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Red, orange, red, orange, yellow, green, so really yellow orange
read not you?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Oh okay, so Shandy's on this while I read the
next you know we're gonna come back to this. Give
us your thoughts, Okay, I would.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I would also be down with just the rainbow. That's fine. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Keep it clean, keep it simple, keep it safe, keep.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
It simple, stupid, keep simpid.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
We have an email from John, and John says he
recommends a bunch of shows. The first show is a
show called Virgin on TLC and HBO Max. It's got
six episodes. He says. It's very much a guilty pleasure
show that follows four adult virgins in their thirties and forties,
three women, one man. The four participants were all pretty different.
(22:23):
The one guy, Alex, was more the typical socially awkward
guy who seemed nice enough but had the emotional slash
romantic IQ of a thirteen year old. One of the
women seemed awesome and everyone online loves her. She just
had a lot of confident issues, stemming mainly from body
(22:43):
issues in the past. The other two women were odd.
Oh so it looks like Rassia was the cool woman.
The other two women were odd in general. One was
a want to be celebrity hyphen and the other onesn't
want to be actress, and I guess they all have
(23:05):
very specific types. The show is an easy enough watch,
but the type of production where you definitely feel the
producer's hands are all over everything. I feel like that's
a lot of reality TV shows when they're not well made.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
The next show is Virgin Island. It's on Channel four
in the UK. You can stream it with a VPN, which, Oh,
I just happen to have gotten and maybe Amanda and Shanny,
maybe we're all getting thirty days free.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
We have a VPN.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh, yes, that's right, you do I need that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
No, we actually got it about a year ago, and
I don't use the often, but when I do, I'm
very happy to have it.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
And it's not that expensive.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No, this is like two ninety nine a month or whatever. Anyway,
even though this sounds like the follow up to mil
Virgin Island stream with the VPN, Even though this sounds
like a follow up to milf Island, actually a well made,
not trashy show. Basically, they send twelve virgins in twenties
in their twenties and thirties to an island near Croatia,
(24:08):
where they have various intensive sex sessions with sex therapists
and even sexual furrogates think Helen Hunt in the sessions
sexual surrogates meaning they have people like stand in as
like the people that they would want to have sex with.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I think, wow, play to like practice there what they
would say or are they having sex with them?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, then they want to be virgins anyway, Yeah, given
achieving hip, I would imagine it's all simulated. Sexual surrogates
are individuals trained to work with clients experiencing sexual difficulties
or intimate issues under the guidance of a licensed therapist.
You're just supposed to help you get more comfortable.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
What's it it's according to Okay, it's like similar to
the sex therapist.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Then yes, then he continues. It's pretty evenly split with
male and female versions. But it's much more of a
documentary than a reality show, so I guess if you
want to check that out. It's got a mixed reaction
from critics. It caught some flak for how much of
(25:27):
all of this, how how much all of it showed,
but that was the point. I thought it was pretty
interesting and well made. So the participants are a pretty
solid mix of people who have just never been able
to make anything happen for themselves romantically. Often do you
do their own issues in trauma? Really? The only exception
(25:48):
was a guy named Zach who basically came off as
an insil adjacent who clearly felt he was owed sex
and just couldn't get it, so much so that he
started treating the instructors as if they were prostitutes who
were there who sexually service him. Okay, fuck that guy,
and then the final recommendation. John has is a show
called Better Late Than Single on Netflix. It's got ten
(26:10):
episodes season one. What's the first two? There's a South
Korean reality dating show that takes people that takes people
they refer to as eternal singles and tries to pair
them up after giving them all makeovers, which happens in
episode one, so that they don't meet one another until
post makeovers. They have South Korean celebrities serving as dating
(26:34):
coaches as a participants navigate the various challenges and, while
not explicitly explicitly stating that the people are all virgins,
most have never been in any relationship, any kind of relationship.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
So draw your own conclusions.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The standard data reality show if you're into that thing.
You'll enjoy it. Plus you get a snapshot of other
dating dating scenes of another culture. That sounds cool, though
M John finishes up with I found it interesting that
all of these shows hit about the same time, and
I really wonder if there is something of a precursor
(27:11):
of things to come. I was also just listening to
Dax Shepherd's podcast. We had a woman in Caitlin Sherman
on to talk about a book she wrote regarding which
she called the sex recession, basically starting with millennials, but
really kicking into high gear with gen Z and now
jen Elvo way fewer people are having sex and we're
having success in pursuing relationships, and a lot of people
(27:32):
are starting to take notice and worry about the long
term effects on this, that this will have on everything,
considering something like Japan's seek declined birth rates and what
experts fear will do that will do to its economy.
A lot of reasons are given in an attempt to
find explanations the Internet culture, dating apps, etc. But no
one really seems to know quite about this. However, it's
(27:53):
becoming enough of an issue with no perceived end in
sight that a lot of people are starting to sound
the alarm. Thought this making for an interesting discuss. Here's
my thought about this. I think we've talked about this
on this show a lot. The fact that many women
on the internet have reported that basically the generation now
(28:14):
Jan Altha and younger gen Z, the COVID gen Z,
not the older gen Z, have been so radicalized by
fucking assholes like Andrew Tait and Joe Rogan that the
women who have lost their rights that we had, that
they didn't and now they don't. They have lost their
(28:35):
reproductive rights and they are facing they are facing the
epidemic of dating men who think that bopping somebody over
the head with a water bottle to get their attention,
which was like the pickup artist thing back when we
were kids that everybody was like, oh, this is cool
(28:55):
for a second, and then you know, everybody was like, no,
this is fucking stupid, and then men and it was over.
Now they've got an echo chamber for that kind of shit,
and women are like fuck, you know, And as we
talked about when I don't I think we talked about
this all camera, but like, uh, when Roe v. Wade
(29:15):
was overturned, a lot of men were like, oh, just
shut your legs and then women were like, okay, cool,
I don't want to date you then and they stopped
and birthrates went down, and I think that's a big
part of it.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah, I don't really think that's all part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I mean I think it's been like trending this way
for a while, so we can't just like that.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
But I certainly think that's a contributing factor.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
But when you say a while, like, what do you
mean a while? Because I think sometimes when we say
a while, we don't realize that we're old now, so
a while could be like.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Well, I do mean like a while like like pre COVID, Okay,
I mean we've been hearing like like birth rates have
been declining for a while, which is maybe a different
I mean that's like related to obviously, uh.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Like women having economic freedom, and so if you find
that problematic, then you should maybe do some introspection because
it's like, well, what you know, we're not gonna we
can't say that women shouldn't have economic freedom because we
need a certain birth rate.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
But also everything is everything is like astronomically more expensive,
so like our generation put off having kids because can't
can't buy a house, can't pay off your student, moms
can't afford fucking daycare, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
And like not for nothing, we don't support, we don't
make it advantageous to have child. Forgetten for you multiple.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Thousand dollars tax credited, six thousand dollars credit for child?
Would it costs like tens of thousands of dollars to
raise them even.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
If you DoD I mean when you're looking at childcare
that is upwards of like eighteen hundred, you know, eighteen
hundred a month.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Yeah, like it's insane.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah, a lot of a lot of people can't afford
to have a second child. They're like, you know, and
if you're waiting until you're financially stable to have a kid,
it becomes harder. Then it definitely becomes harder to have
a second child.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, yeah, it's not.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Just about you know, like in cells just being gross.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
But I think that, but I think that's also it's
also against us. Yeah, there's the money thing.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And then yes, exactly because I think you kind of
balancing that out.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
They're like, there are two separate factors that are contributing
to this overall phenomenon. The one of like our generation
being royally fucked in terms of like financials, and that's
probably you know, only getting.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Worse for the generations after us.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Like there's that's the financial but then there is this
thing of like the generations after us having like less
sex overall, and and that I think is different. I think,
I mean, yes, I like, I love it's like you
want to complain about it.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Well, like you know, make again.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Because aren't they equally as horny as the rest of
us were?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I think that.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
They mean they don't. I don't know their phones mex
up with your brain, Like they just think there's some receptors.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
There's real ship going on. Yeah, like we do not.
We do not connect this the way that we that
we And now this is where we start sounding really
old and like we've come full circle to actual cougars.
Is like, I mean, we don't. We don't interact the
way that we used to. And it's not like it
was all like this like wonderful time.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Right or but like, but it is true that things
have and yes, things changed for every generation, but like
I feel like things have radically changed recently in a
way that that I really different than the changes before.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
And people don't know how to fucking interact anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
So I truly think that it is the attitude of
people that are listening to the Joe Rogans and whoever
of the world where women Because there was an article
like what six months ago where uh, like older gen
z were dating younger millennial men and the reason they
were giving was that, yeah, they're ten years older than me,
(33:37):
but they just missed the manosphere, so they happened to
just align with my political beliefs more.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Yeah, and so there's that. Yeah, there's that too. It's
like we're also.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
In an era we don't want. It's not like we
can agree to disagree about tax rates. Like it's like
fascism versus not peschis of Like I don't know what
else to say.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Well, it's like I'm a person versus I'm a second
right person, you know, Like but like I do, like
I could I could see that. It's like it's like
the smartphone era that's like riddling everyone's brains. And I'm
not completely like there's good with the bad. I'm not
trying to be like I understand its nuanced, but things
(34:25):
can be true, right, There's there's that like that is
a factor, and I've just like I've heard like a
lot of podcasts and a lot of people that like
pushed back on this idea of like when you say
that the smartphones are bad for you, it's like there
happens studies and maybe they're not all good. I don't know,
but like there's something there, So I don't think we
should say there's nothing there. But so there's the there's
(34:47):
the that part of it. And then like you were saying, Colleen,
like the young the young men, young men being radicalized,
that that never helps. And then and on top of it, honestly,
I wonder too, and this is maybe just like a
small percentage of the population, but like we were all
(35:08):
I think, even even us, like our generation, like growing up,
we were very much indoctrinated into like heteronormativity. And I
feel like that's gone away at least a little bit
for our generation, but like for the for the generations
coming up after us, I feel like a little.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Bit less yea.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
And statistically, how many of the people in our generation
would identify as queer if that had been sort of
presented as a possibility, like, especially like I think about it,
especially with like bisexuality, because it's like if you have
attraction to both and you're brought up in like a
(35:49):
society that that highly highly favors heteronormativity, of course, like
you're just gonna go that way, like you're not even going.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
To like necessarily call it into question. Whereas if you're
brought up in like a much more a little bit
more of an open society, which is the irony because
it's at the same time simultaneously Rov Wade was, you know,
strike down, but like, yeah, but it is.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
True, right then, like maybe you're like, well, look all
this shit, Like no, I totally agree.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I I think I don't know the eloquent way to
put this because I completely agree with I think that
what we see now is again like bad faith actors
trying to grab back control two speak against something that
(36:42):
the majority of the public is fine with, and like
you're saying, like with, I think the new generation is
like overwhelmingly outwardly queer, right, and bad faith actors could
be like, oh, they've been indoctrinated to go woke and
go gay and this and that. It's just like or
maybe just if you look into history, people going back
(37:04):
to like you know, b C era, it's always been there, like.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Yeah, and that we were indoctrinated.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
To like.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Exactly. But obviously it was pre Reagan because it was
bad in America like from the beginning. Yeah, sometime maybe
we can just blame Reagan a little because he sucked.
Speaker 7 (37:31):
I mean we can also, I mean we can blame
Reagan for all maddern means of things, the economy, the.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
War on drugs, you know.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Like every yeah, every day I go outside with a
cup and I'm like, what's trickling down to me? And
then nothing comes down and I go, oh, man, I'm
gonna withhold sex.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Yeah, so you're in New York.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Because of the change.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Pretty much, I say, there are many reasons.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
There are many reasons, but there.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Is something in the air, like there's like there is
something to this.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yes, there is something.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yes, it's it's gonna be something to keep an eye on,
because I don't think that I know that Trump was like, oh,
I'm gonna be the ivy of Ivy of Daddy and yeah,
it's like just kidding, We're not gonna.
Speaker 7 (38:29):
Be like.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, which you know, yeah, I was listening to America
break right.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
But the thing that I want to yell every time,
like like like today when I was listening to Patzo
America and they were talking about it, and they were talking,
they were talking, you know, very earnestly about the people
who like it's a huge deal for obviously, and that
may have like that may have been what played them
to vote for him, and and like I get that,
and I do feel bad for them, but I also
every time I want to yell, what.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
The fuck did you expect? Did you really think that
he was going to really think come through on.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
This promise it? But like I don't mean to laugh
because it is awful, because that actually be something that
would be life changing for a lot of people, a
lot of but also a lot of like Christians like it.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Just yeah, infertility comes for you know, more people than
you think.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, like it's and it's expensive and it's hard.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
And I know that yelling what did you expect is
exactly not how to get people back, But at the
same time, what did you expect?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Well, I always think like whenever somebody said, whenever it's
going to come up in my life, when somebody says, oh,
this is what I voted for, I just want to
be like, actually, yes it is. You just voted for
it to happen to somebody else. Yeah, because literally everything
that he said, every bad thing he's doing, every good
(40:00):
thing he's not doing. And again that like that is
pretty shitty because that actually would be life changing. And
if he wants to and sorry to give you free advice,
you fucking billionaire, a piece of shit, but like if
you want to like have a legacy offer the free IVF,
like that is something you happen that would literally change
people's lives.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
That is like doesn't doesn't benefit him.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I know, but that's also like writing his name doesn't.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Make it doesn't make him any money. He makes no money,
He makes no money doing it. So therefore that's true.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
But he could get every one of those babies a
thousand dollars trucks.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
But also this all steps back to, like we privatize
healthcare in this com in this country, so yeah, exactly,
it's out of the bottle, Like IVF is always going
to cost you, Yeah, eighteen to thirty thousand dollars as
we privatized it, nobody is going to start just doing
it for less money.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
And it's terrible and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry to
everybody out there. That has did go through that, and
especially like the people that got their hopes up. I
am really sorry. I'm really done of those people listening
to the podcast. But if like you, just spread that
out into the atmosphere. Okay, we've got Andy's update, and
then we've got a massive she said, and then I
(41:19):
think it's good time.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Oh my god, that's past but time.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
Yeah, all right, Andy writes, and this week in Andy's Virginity, Hey, Brod's,
I hope you've had a good couple of weeks. I'm
doing fine, all things considered. Good for you to respond
to a couple of things you talked about since the
last letter with that one guy who tried to quote
unquote correct his orgasming partner. Unless those movements involved punching
(41:47):
me in the face, I'd let her go through whatever she.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Goes through the best, Andy, You're the best.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Yeah. Yes.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
As for something everyone should experience before they die, well,
I haven't quite done it myself yet.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
You get there, Yes, I would tell myself from twenty
years ago. Hey, the forty year old virgin is a
lot more plausible than you think. Well, Andy, there's some
shows that you can watch. Yeah, recommendations.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Virsions, Virgin Island and better Late than Single.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
And I do have to.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Say that everything that we just talked about previously about
the rise of virginity, I don't think any of that
applies to you.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
No, I think zero of that applies to any Andy's
We've talked to him for like ten years now, like
it is. He's definitely a super good dude. Yes, yes,
maybe you should target some of those gen zy girls.
Speaker 4 (42:55):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
I mean, honestly, maybe they're looking.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
I was like, they're trolling, they want they want the
woke dude.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Yeah, no stone unturned m m.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Yeah, and nobody's judging, no judgment. No, I mean they're
not like underage. So yeah, yeah, all right, let's do
the matter. She said a little bit of a longer
episode this week. But we were off for two weeks,
three weeks so, and we're gonna be Are we gonna
be off next week?
Speaker 3 (43:27):
You're the only one that's not going to be in

Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (44:17):

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Oh that's right, they're They're doing the Kenney Center de Roses.
Speaker 3 (44:31):

Who I'm getting my own opera house, even though I've
only been there that one time. My husband thought he would.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
Javet.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
The roses were pretty, but Michelle was so I have
to tear them down.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah, worst fucking timeline. I forgot about that. It's Kennedy Center, right.
They want to rename it the Meloria.
Speaker 3 (45:17):
Anyway, I'm not a.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
Bosed to maybe doing something because I feel like I
might be time my uh whatever, I don't know. We'll
figure it out. We probably won't, but maybe we will.
I'll let you know in the moment if I'm fucking awake,
We're gonna fucking do it, because it's an adventure, and
I am all about having adventures next week, that is
my thing, and only be an hour because I'll probably

I can't believe it's been eight times that we've done this.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
I'm just sweating all night.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
You like it, right?
Speaker 3 (46:56):
I have never gotten in all these years it on

Drop you in. We'll see where we're going.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
This is good. Drop you in. Here we go, round
and round we go.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Where are we stuff? Nobody knows?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
And go all right, we are back. Guys, were ready
to get into feedback. We've got some great feedback today.
The first bit of feedback is from the facy back
from Facebook, and Matt and Greg both share the New
York Times movie list movies how many they've seen? I
believe last week? And I know I just finished editing
(01:22):
it like two days ago. But I don't think any
of us. Did any of us break fifty they were
doing it.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I can't remember her remember, but I think I was
over fifty.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
You were over fifty. Okay, were you were as high
as eighty five? Because that is what macat no.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I was definitely not.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Because you guys try to watch the Oscar movies every year?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Would you try and watch the Oscar movies?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And Martha was too young for a lot of the
movies because she's like five years old and Alice doesn't
watch I'm just kidding. We love me Martha. Uh Martha
who is a mean librarian.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Oh wait, I haven't both. I have mine still up.
I have seen fifty six. Oh nice? Uh, you know
it was over fifty but barely.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Girl. It's been three weeks and you haven't shut those tabs.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Nope, Wow, you should do that.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Man, I close out every day.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I turn to be fair. But I do have the
thing where you re launch churl and it's like, do
you want to open all your old tabs?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah? Sure I do, so let me see mine.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I mean, I've got tabs open definitely longer than that.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Wow, that's impressive.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Well, because I open stuff and I just don't get
to it because I'm not on this computer every day,
and I'm just like, well, if I close the tab,
I will never get to it.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
And that's no kind of grades.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay, I've seen.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Fine.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I just I reopened my uh saved and I have
thirty nine, which I feel like I had hired the
other time. This is not any This is not new
news for anybody listen to the episode like three days ago,
but for us it's brand new news again. You go,
Amanda Cooco. So yeah, that's C eighty five grade seas
(03:23):
Greg seen sixty two. Matt shared how AI, like Spotify,
AI broke up our show and it's pretty good, except
they leave out a very important part of what we
talked about. So here it is intro. Martha's in a
new time zone? Do you guys record together now? Paul
(03:46):
Is was in China, Paul in China, Fabletics COVID Shandy
the Doe is officially allowed to be disbanded. Upcoming new, upcoming,
upcoming album and feed back. It conveniently skips over the
fact that we have that lady whose husband refused the
letter organism, which I did check for an update. There
(04:12):
are no updates other than she talked to him about
it and he still refused. So everybody's pretty much in
agreement that perhaps.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Divorces in your future.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's just wild. This is a control thing. It's weird.
Blah blah blah. Okay, we don't need to rego over it,
Matt says, I'm sure Colleen is required by law to
see the new Billy Joeldoc and so it goes. I'm
only a third through the first part. It's almost five
hours total. If you haven't seen it yet. It's good
so far and directed by two women, Susan Lacey and
(04:46):
Jessica Levin. Also, I posted before such Brave Girls as
the best show you're probably not watching. Superficial trailer for
season I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Trailer, thank you. Yes, it looks very good.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I think I'm going to at aitude list good.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I forgot to upda finish and.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I was gonna say once I finish Fargo, we actually
we have some updates. We finished the first season of Fargo,
and then we went back and watched the movie. It
was rewatched for Frank, but he hadn't seen it for
a long time. Yeah, and it was the first time
for me seeing it. And now I understand why and
how like that. Yeah, it's not a true story. Okay,
(05:29):
but if you tell me to believe you. But anyway,
it was really interesting to watch the movie after the
first season because similarities with some differences and anyway.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
That was just that was just really interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And now we're onto the second season, but there are
five of them, so at some point, at.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Some point we'll watch.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's kind of nice how to break it up, like
we took some time in between season one and season two,
so maybe I'll advocate for such brave girls nice to
the rotation.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
The Billy Joel documentary. I have not watched it yet
because it came out when I was like, come, I on,
I believe. But I did read a total like profile
review about it, so I know a lot of it
and I'm looking at it too.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Was it a positive review?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yes, okay, I mean it was from People, which you know,
the pr people go to, so it wasn't like, you know, dude,
I am now getting I.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Have been getting People magazine for the first time in
like fifteen years. It just like started showing up in
my inbox.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I'm not paying for it, it's just like showing up.
I'm just like getting People magazine and I'm like, okay,
I guess I am a person that reads People Magazine again.
It's weird. It's so weird to like drop.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That is weird. Yeah, I'm like, oh right, and your
name is on the thing.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's not like what interesting, It's like I'm my own
like dentist office or something. Just like should I leave
it on the coffee table for like guests.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Leave it in the bathroom? Yes? Oh god, it's so funny.
We are. Yeah, that's super random. If you send Amanda
a gift subscription to people. I bet Julia did because
she had like some kind of credit card offer, but
she would.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Have told me. I saw her down to the beach.
I saw her in person. It was great.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Oh yeah, she might have just forgotten to tell you that.
But yeah, I'm gonna watch the Billy Joel document. Should
watch it too, from my worst dand it really is
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
He talked about.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm sorry I didn't see you as a he's famous.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
He's famous in the whole country.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
He is, but he's most famous for us.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And I do love the title. That is actually my favorite.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I do agree, so it goes.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I reminded me. I like I've started singing it again,
like in the bedtime routine. I don't often. I'm not
often asked to sing a bedtime song. But when I do,
I like change it up for myself and I.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Was like this singu saving strong. Mm hmmm. I started
singing for the longest time tonight at dinner for some reason,
and uh it's oh yeah, and all the boys and
Jay they they they did it. And then I got
to the point was like, funk, I got to pull
(08:36):
up the lyrics because we're like going with this. Yeah,
I think so it goes is probably my favorite two
my parents. Their wedding song they danced to was You're
My Home.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, a little.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Let me get a b a song.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Okay. Mad also shares his fan ballad for the thing.
His top ten choices were Wally, Shot of the Dead,
your Name, We're all ten, and Bounds and Glorius Bastards
the substance There will be Blood, Mad, Max Fury Road
Boyhood and r r r hmm. Mine is still a
(09:22):
bunch of a spotless mind and all the Lord of
Ritts movies. I'm a simple creature with last crusade thrown
him there all right? Then, moving on, Ro says topic
just fun. What is a clothing item that you still
haven't wear, but you refuse to throw away even though
(09:44):
you'd want no other human being on earth to see
it on you, except for those people that you live with,
because you would crawl in a hole and die with
major embarrassment. Ro says, I have a pair of purple
nylon is shorts that are older than this centur have
a couple of holes in them, and our wrinkle af
will fall off if they didn't have a drawstring and
(10:06):
are faded in spots. But I love them so much
because they are comfy as hell, feel like comfy as hell.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, well, reframe, you still fit into these shorts that
this century so.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah snaps for you. Yeah that is a big deal.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
That is a big deal, But who cares be proud?
They sound great.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Most of the clothes that I hang on to.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That I like don't wear are I just clothes I
don't really fit anymore.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
But I really love them and keep thinking that maybe
someday I will fit into them.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That's my thing too. I'm like after COVID, I was like,
it's only a few pounds, I'm gonna get back into these,
And then like after forty I was like, it's sounding
like ten pounds these and now I'm like, I don't know,
(11:08):
maybe the universe is trying to tell me that we'll
see I'm gonna but I but I love them exactly
and they're compy and there. Yeah, I don't even know
if I can name them by name because there's actually
quite a few of them.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
But it's like half of my closet.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, exactly, and you know, someday it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I believe opposite. I feel like I'm starting to get
better about Okay, this is like I'm saving these clothes
for like some like future post pandemic world that like
I'm clearly not living in, so like I have gotten
better about just.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That's your legacy to eat in.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
You're like, here's the clothes in No, like I've just
been like thread uping. I'm like, you know, like I
either donate or I send it to thread up and
I'm I love that. It's just you know, like.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Because it used to be much better than that.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But yeah, like it's it's cute, or like it just
doesn't fit me right, or it's just like not in
style anymore, like, so just it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I actually listed a bunch of things on Poshmark in
like twenty twenty two, I'm not even kidding, and then
they never sold. So I listed them in like twenty
twenty three on Facebook Marketplace, and one of them sold
out of nowhere while I was at Comacan. So the
deadline to because you have it must have been July
(12:36):
twenty three that it's sold, because you're the deadline is
one week to ship it or you have to like
refund and cancel it, but they don't give you the
money for four weeks after you like sell it. Anyway,
excuse it, and we thank god we landed on the
twenty ninth because I was able to mail it out
on the thirtieth and that was like my due date.
But I couldn't believe it. I was like, oh my god,
these things are in Alex's closet now, like I've totally
(12:59):
forgotten about them. So maybe, Amanda, this is my start
of being like you, being more like you.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, I mean this shirt came from thread Up, like
fun out in, out in. I'm trying to just like
be better.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Dressing for now, dressing for the body I've got now,
for the lifestyle I've got now, Like yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, that's the thing like as we get older where
we have to be Like your body is different, your
lifestyle is different. It doesn't mean that you're not healthy.
It doesn't mean that you're not this or that, or
you're this or lazy or whatever. Like it's just different.
Like you're going through some things and not everything. You're
going to be able to control and just gotta deal
(13:44):
with it as it good.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
What's that part? It's like my lifestyle is different now,
Like I don't go to an office every day, yes,
just like the I'm keeping all of these like B
level office clothes for a long you just don't live
in anymore exactly in shape because only going into the
office like a couple of times a month. I can
just have the A level office close, Like I don't
(14:08):
need the ones I don't like as much because I'm
never gonna get to them.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And you're staying in shape in case the zombie apocalypse
does actually hit your office.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Uh yeah, I gotta outrun those uh those zombies.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
H Yeah, bro, I hope we answered your question even
though we give you specifics. But yeah, I for me,
it's basically right now kind of everything. But yeah, I
need someone to hold my hand.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah. No, I'm trying to be better about like, yeah,
maybe my bathrobe.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Mmm, no, keep your bathroom.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Bathrooms are the bestain No, just morified if other people
outside of your family, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Man, my bathroom is purple.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I'm I'm fine with being seen it.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I have two bathrooms now. I have my nice, like
comfy one for winter time. But I brought that one
back from the hotel room in Japan and I wear
that ship all the time. I I tie.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
It on the side like I was taught. I'm still
civilized millennial. I forgot all about that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
But it's definitely a little nippily because it's thinner, so
I've gotta be careful.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
But at home, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Exactly exactly. Uh no, yeah, I was gonna say nips
out dixau, but that's not right. Alex found a pair
of shorts today that was in his closet room. I
thought I had gotten them all, but it was like
a two tea. He put it on and it was
just like You're like, no, baby, you cannot leave that,
(16:05):
and he was like why not? They're comfortable, and like
we went through it for like a good forty five
second with him before Jay finally was like, because we
can see the outline of your penis in these shorts,
you cannot across the street. Like these are really small.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
They do not I don't know how in everyone's life
where we learned about fit.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yeah, Like what did he say to that? How did
he react?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He just looked down and he was like, so what
And Jake was like, you just don't want to do that.
You're going to go to the neighbor's house.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
They've been.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's cool because all our neighbors are home from camp
this week, so like they've all been just back and
forth from all the houses and that's where you're like, Alex, no,
you just see those up and he was like, so what,
They're comfy and we were like, no, they.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Can be a house shorts.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, no, these are these because we do have ones
where we're like, oh, these are very whatever, and we're like,
these are your weekend shorts, but not these shorts. These shorts, guys,
they were like higher than mid die short.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Gonna go.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I thought that I had gotten all of those from
his closet. I don't know how those were still in there,
but I missed them.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Swear like kids close they like hide in.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Places they hide.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
They literally accidentally bought a pair of two T shorts.
I swear they were fourteen when I bought them, and
they were magically two team when I brought them home.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah, Glitchen the matrix baby.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Kids wearing home, I like I had to like hide,
I'm like hiding them like under the other things that
she's outgrown. It just yeah, yeah, they grow out. Yeah,
they grow out of clothes too fast. It's like it's
too hard to keep them organized.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Well, our problem is, for the longest time, Alex didn't
grow out of clothes, don't. He was in a size
like like three T for like three fucking years, Like
we skipped four and five T and you just never
got there fucking wild. So yeah, it's just it's it's
it's hard for him to be like, but why can't
I wear these? Were like because really you grew like overnight,
(18:22):
but you're taller.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Now, congratulations, you did it, buddy it.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Now if you could only lose some teeth, because Zachary's
dentist was like, hey, he's gonna lose ten teeth the
summer this summer and he's already lost like four of
those fucking teeths. I mean that doctor, that dentist was right.
I know. We were like, shoot, there, he's gotta go
at m.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
How can he tell that the.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Because they did. They did their yearly X rays and
the roots were fairly connected for Zach for the last ten.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Of his teeth. Yeah, that makes wild, just like can
you just tell looking at him?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, no, no, no tell me. And with Alex, he
looked at Alex and he was like, so when did
he lose his baby teeth? And I was like, not
till he was like a year old. And he was like, Okay,
that checks. Because Alex is a glosse at all, he's
lost too, and that's it.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Moving on, Bandy says that Maddy and I were school shopping,
which meant the colored folders color folders for corresponding classes
came up. She then asked if the days of the
week where the colors of the rainbow, what color would
each day be?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I love this. I think we would go from lighter
to darker.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, I think you would have to. Yeah, I agree,
How else would you do it? Right?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
So would chaos? Yeah, Monday can't be read? What are
we talking about?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, well, let's let's see there's a Are we starting
the week at Sunday? Are we starting the week at Monday?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Oh? I guess it depends if you're European, French, European
or French. I guess it depends on European American. Yeah,
welway Sunday. That's the normal convention system.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
If you're gonna, if you're Mondays coming.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, but I mean it is it is called the
week end.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
That's true, that's end the week with.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
But but yeah, I mean who is it?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Red? And orange?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, indigo, violet.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So Sunday could be the neutral day. Red is Monday,
orange is Tuesday, Green is Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yellow, yellow, you've got yellow is Wednesday? Yellow?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Before we go way, before we go red?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Why because we're going to dark.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Yellow is lighter than red.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Oh, I see what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
But why wou't you go dark to light? Because lighter
and lighter it is the happy you are.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeh see, I'm just going straight up, guys, we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Because isn't the colors of the rainbow dark to light?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
No, not exactly?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Red, orange, red, orange, yellow, green, so really yellow orange
read not you?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Oh okay, so Shandy's on this while I read the
next you know we're gonna come back to this. Give
us your thoughts, Okay, I would.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I would also be down with just the rainbow. That's fine. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Keep it clean, keep it simple, keep it safe, keep.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
It simple, stupid, keep simpid.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
We have an email from John, and John says he
recommends a bunch of shows. The first show is a
show called Virgin on TLC and HBO Max. It's got
six episodes. He says. It's very much a guilty pleasure
show that follows four adult virgins in their thirties and forties,
three women, one man. The four participants were all pretty different.
(22:23):
The one guy, Alex, was more the typical socially awkward
guy who seemed nice enough but had the emotional slash
romantic IQ of a thirteen year old. One of the
women seemed awesome and everyone online loves her. She just
had a lot of confident issues, stemming mainly from body
(22:43):
issues in the past. The other two women were odd.
Oh so it looks like Rassia was the cool woman.
The other two women were odd in general. One was
a want to be celebrity hyphen and the other onesn't
want to be actress, and I guess they all have
(23:05):
very specific types. The show is an easy enough watch,
but the type of production where you definitely feel the
producer's hands are all over everything. I feel like that's
a lot of reality TV shows when they're not well made.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
The next show is Virgin Island. It's on Channel four
in the UK. You can stream it with a VPN, which, Oh,
I just happen to have gotten and maybe Amanda and Shanny,
maybe we're all getting thirty days free.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
We have a VPN.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh, yes, that's right, you do I need that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
No, we actually got it about a year ago, and
I don't use the often, but when I do, I'm
very happy to have it.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
And it's not that expensive.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No, this is like two ninety nine a month or whatever. Anyway,
even though this sounds like the follow up to mil
Virgin Island stream with the VPN, Even though this sounds
like a follow up to milf Island, actually a well made,
not trashy show. Basically, they send twelve virgins in twenties
in their twenties and thirties to an island near Croatia,
(24:08):
where they have various intensive sex sessions with sex therapists
and even sexual furrogates think Helen Hunt in the sessions
sexual surrogates meaning they have people like stand in as
like the people that they would want to have sex with.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I think, wow, play to like practice there what they
would say or are they having sex with them?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, then they want to be virgins anyway, Yeah, given
achieving hip, I would imagine it's all simulated. Sexual surrogates
are individuals trained to work with clients experiencing sexual difficulties
or intimate issues under the guidance of a licensed therapist.
You're just supposed to help you get more comfortable.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
What's it it's according to Okay, it's like similar to
the sex therapist.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Then yes, then he continues. It's pretty evenly split with
male and female versions. But it's much more of a
documentary than a reality show, so I guess if you
want to check that out. It's got a mixed reaction
from critics. It caught some flak for how much of
(25:27):
all of this, how how much all of it showed,
but that was the point. I thought it was pretty
interesting and well made. So the participants are a pretty
solid mix of people who have just never been able
to make anything happen for themselves romantically. Often do you
do their own issues in trauma? Really? The only exception
(25:48):
was a guy named Zach who basically came off as
an insil adjacent who clearly felt he was owed sex
and just couldn't get it, so much so that he
started treating the instructors as if they were prostitutes who
were there who sexually service him. Okay, fuck that guy,
and then the final recommendation. John has is a show
called Better Late Than Single on Netflix. It's got ten
(26:10):
episodes season one. What's the first two? There's a South
Korean reality dating show that takes people that takes people
they refer to as eternal singles and tries to pair
them up after giving them all makeovers, which happens in
episode one, so that they don't meet one another until
post makeovers. They have South Korean celebrities serving as dating
(26:34):
coaches as a participants navigate the various challenges and, while
not explicitly explicitly stating that the people are all virgins,
most have never been in any relationship, any kind of relationship.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
So draw your own conclusions.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The standard data reality show if you're into that thing.
You'll enjoy it. Plus you get a snapshot of other
dating dating scenes of another culture. That sounds cool, though
M John finishes up with I found it interesting that
all of these shows hit about the same time, and
I really wonder if there is something of a precursor
(27:11):
of things to come. I was also just listening to
Dax Shepherd's podcast. We had a woman in Caitlin Sherman
on to talk about a book she wrote regarding which
she called the sex recession, basically starting with millennials, but
really kicking into high gear with gen Z and now
jen Elvo way fewer people are having sex and we're
having success in pursuing relationships, and a lot of people
(27:32):
are starting to take notice and worry about the long
term effects on this, that this will have on everything,
considering something like Japan's seek declined birth rates and what
experts fear will do that will do to its economy.
A lot of reasons are given in an attempt to
find explanations the Internet culture, dating apps, etc. But no
one really seems to know quite about this. However, it's
(27:53):
becoming enough of an issue with no perceived end in
sight that a lot of people are starting to sound
the alarm. Thought this making for an interesting discuss. Here's
my thought about this. I think we've talked about this
on this show a lot. The fact that many women
on the internet have reported that basically the generation now
(28:14):
Jan Altha and younger gen Z, the COVID gen Z,
not the older gen Z, have been so radicalized by
fucking assholes like Andrew Tait and Joe Rogan that the
women who have lost their rights that we had, that
they didn't and now they don't. They have lost their
(28:35):
reproductive rights and they are facing they are facing the
epidemic of dating men who think that bopping somebody over
the head with a water bottle to get their attention,
which was like the pickup artist thing back when we
were kids that everybody was like, oh, this is cool
(28:55):
for a second, and then you know, everybody was like, no,
this is fucking stupid, and then men and it was over.
Now they've got an echo chamber for that kind of shit,
and women are like fuck, you know, And as we
talked about when I don't I think we talked about
this all camera, but like, uh, when Roe v. Wade
(29:15):
was overturned, a lot of men were like, oh, just
shut your legs and then women were like, okay, cool,
I don't want to date you then and they stopped
and birthrates went down, and I think that's a big
part of it.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah, I don't really think that's all part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I mean I think it's been like trending this way
for a while, so we can't just like that.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
But I certainly think that's a contributing factor.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
But when you say a while, like, what do you
mean a while? Because I think sometimes when we say
a while, we don't realize that we're old now, so
a while could be like.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Well, I do mean like a while like like pre COVID, Okay,
I mean we've been hearing like like birth rates have
been declining for a while, which is maybe a different
I mean that's like related to obviously, uh.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Like women having economic freedom, and so if you find
that problematic, then you should maybe do some introspection because
it's like, well, what you know, we're not gonna we
can't say that women shouldn't have economic freedom because we
need a certain birth rate.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
But also everything is everything is like astronomically more expensive,
so like our generation put off having kids because can't
can't buy a house, can't pay off your student, moms
can't afford fucking daycare, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
And like not for nothing, we don't support, we don't
make it advantageous to have child. Forgetten for you multiple.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Thousand dollars tax credited, six thousand dollars credit for child?
Would it costs like tens of thousands of dollars to
raise them even.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
If you DoD I mean when you're looking at childcare
that is upwards of like eighteen hundred, you know, eighteen
hundred a month.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Yeah, like it's insane.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah, a lot of a lot of people can't afford
to have a second child. They're like, you know, and
if you're waiting until you're financially stable to have a kid,
it becomes harder. Then it definitely becomes harder to have
a second child.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, yeah, it's not.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Just about you know, like in cells just being gross.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
But I think that, but I think that's also it's
also against us. Yeah, there's the money thing.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And then yes, exactly because I think you kind of
balancing that out.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
They're like, there are two separate factors that are contributing
to this overall phenomenon. The one of like our generation
being royally fucked in terms of like financials, and that's
probably you know, only getting.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Worse for the generations after us.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Like there's that's the financial but then there is this
thing of like the generations after us having like less
sex overall, and and that I think is different. I think,
I mean, yes, I like, I love it's like you
want to complain about it.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Well, like you know, make again.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Because aren't they equally as horny as the rest of
us were?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I think that.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
They mean they don't. I don't know their phones mex
up with your brain, Like they just think there's some receptors.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
There's real ship going on. Yeah, like we do not.
We do not connect this the way that we that
we And now this is where we start sounding really
old and like we've come full circle to actual cougars.
Is like, I mean, we don't. We don't interact the
way that we used to. And it's not like it
was all like this like wonderful time.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Right or but like, but it is true that things
have and yes, things changed for every generation, but like
I feel like things have radically changed recently in a
way that that I really different than the changes before.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
And people don't know how to fucking interact anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
So I truly think that it is the attitude of
people that are listening to the Joe Rogans and whoever
of the world where women Because there was an article
like what six months ago where uh, like older gen
z were dating younger millennial men and the reason they
were giving was that, yeah, they're ten years older than me,
(33:37):
but they just missed the manosphere, so they happened to
just align with my political beliefs more.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Yeah, and so there's that. Yeah, there's that too. It's
like we're also.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
In an era we don't want. It's not like we
can agree to disagree about tax rates. Like it's like
fascism versus not peschis of Like I don't know what
else to say.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Well, it's like I'm a person versus I'm a second
right person, you know, Like but like I do, like
I could I could see that. It's like it's like
the smartphone era that's like riddling everyone's brains. And I'm
not completely like there's good with the bad. I'm not
trying to be like I understand its nuanced, but things
(34:25):
can be true, right, There's there's that like that is
a factor, and I've just like I've heard like a
lot of podcasts and a lot of people that like
pushed back on this idea of like when you say
that the smartphones are bad for you, it's like there
happens studies and maybe they're not all good. I don't know,
but like there's something there, So I don't think we
should say there's nothing there. But so there's the there's
(34:47):
the that part of it. And then like you were saying, Colleen,
like the young the young men, young men being radicalized,
that that never helps. And then and on top of it, honestly,
I wonder too, and this is maybe just like a
small percentage of the population, but like we were all
(35:08):
I think, even even us, like our generation, like growing up,
we were very much indoctrinated into like heteronormativity. And I
feel like that's gone away at least a little bit
for our generation, but like for the for the generations
coming up after us, I feel like a little.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Bit less yea.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
And statistically, how many of the people in our generation
would identify as queer if that had been sort of
presented as a possibility, like, especially like I think about it,
especially with like bisexuality, because it's like if you have
attraction to both and you're brought up in like a
(35:49):
society that that highly highly favors heteronormativity, of course, like
you're just gonna go that way, like you're not even going.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
To like necessarily call it into question. Whereas if you're
brought up in like a much more a little bit
more of an open society, which is the irony because
it's at the same time simultaneously Rov Wade was, you know,
strike down, but like, yeah, but it is.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
True, right then, like maybe you're like, well, look all
this shit, Like no, I totally agree.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I I think I don't know the eloquent way to
put this because I completely agree with I think that
what we see now is again like bad faith actors
trying to grab back control two speak against something that
(36:42):
the majority of the public is fine with, and like
you're saying, like with, I think the new generation is
like overwhelmingly outwardly queer, right, and bad faith actors could
be like, oh, they've been indoctrinated to go woke and
go gay and this and that. It's just like or
maybe just if you look into history, people going back
(37:04):
to like you know, b C era, it's always been there, like.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Yeah, and that we were indoctrinated.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
To like.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Exactly. But obviously it was pre Reagan because it was
bad in America like from the beginning. Yeah, sometime maybe
we can just blame Reagan a little because he sucked.
Speaker 7 (37:31):
I mean we can also, I mean we can blame
Reagan for all maddern means of things, the economy, the.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
War on drugs, you know.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Like every yeah, every day I go outside with a
cup and I'm like, what's trickling down to me? And
then nothing comes down and I go, oh, man, I'm
gonna withhold sex.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Yeah, so you're in New York.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Because of the change.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Pretty much, I say, there are many reasons.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
There are many reasons, but there.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Is something in the air, like there's like there is
something to this.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yes, there is something.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yes, it's it's gonna be something to keep an eye on,
because I don't think that I know that Trump was like, oh,
I'm gonna be the ivy of Ivy of Daddy and yeah,
it's like just kidding, We're not gonna.
Speaker 7 (38:29):
Be like.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, which you know, yeah, I was listening to America
break right.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
But the thing that I want to yell every time,
like like like today when I was listening to Patzo
America and they were talking about it, and they were talking,
they were talking, you know, very earnestly about the people
who like it's a huge deal for obviously, and that
may have like that may have been what played them
to vote for him, and and like I get that,
and I do feel bad for them, but I also
every time I want to yell, what.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
The fuck did you expect? Did you really think that
he was going to really think come through on.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
This promise it? But like I don't mean to laugh
because it is awful, because that actually be something that
would be life changing for a lot of people, a
lot of but also a lot of like Christians like it.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Just yeah, infertility comes for you know, more people than
you think.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, like it's and it's expensive and it's hard.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
And I know that yelling what did you expect is
exactly not how to get people back, But at the
same time, what did you expect?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Well, I always think like whenever somebody said, whenever it's
going to come up in my life, when somebody says, oh,
this is what I voted for, I just want to
be like, actually, yes it is. You just voted for
it to happen to somebody else. Yeah, because literally everything
that he said, every bad thing he's doing, every good
(40:00):
thing he's not doing. And again that like that is
pretty shitty because that actually would be life changing. And
if he wants to and sorry to give you free advice,
you fucking billionaire, a piece of shit, but like if
you want to like have a legacy offer the free IVF,
like that is something you happen that would literally change
people's lives.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
That is like doesn't doesn't benefit him.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I know, but that's also like writing his name doesn't.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Make it doesn't make him any money. He makes no money,
He makes no money doing it. So therefore that's true.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
But he could get every one of those babies a
thousand dollars trucks.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
But also this all steps back to, like we privatize
healthcare in this com in this country, so yeah, exactly,
it's out of the bottle, Like IVF is always going
to cost you, Yeah, eighteen to thirty thousand dollars as
we privatized it, nobody is going to start just doing
it for less money.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
And it's terrible and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry to
everybody out there. That has did go through that, and
especially like the people that got their hopes up. I
am really sorry. I'm really done of those people listening
to the podcast. But if like you, just spread that
out into the atmosphere. Okay, we've got Andy's update, and
then we've got a massive she said, and then I
(41:19):
think it's good time.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Oh my god, that's past but time.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
Yeah, all right, Andy writes, and this week in Andy's Virginity, Hey, Brod's,
I hope you've had a good couple of weeks. I'm
doing fine, all things considered. Good for you to respond
to a couple of things you talked about since the
last letter with that one guy who tried to quote
unquote correct his orgasming partner. Unless those movements involved punching
(41:47):
me in the face, I'd let her go through whatever she.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Goes through the best, Andy, You're the best.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Yeah. Yes.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
As for something everyone should experience before they die, well,
I haven't quite done it myself yet.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
You get there, Yes, I would tell myself from twenty
years ago. Hey, the forty year old virgin is a
lot more plausible than you think. Well, Andy, there's some
shows that you can watch. Yeah, recommendations.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Virsions, Virgin Island and better Late than Single.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
And I do have to.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Say that everything that we just talked about previously about
the rise of virginity, I don't think any of that
applies to you.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
No, I think zero of that applies to any Andy's
We've talked to him for like ten years now, like
it is. He's definitely a super good dude. Yes, yes,
maybe you should target some of those gen zy girls.
Speaker 4 (42:55):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
I mean, honestly, maybe they're looking.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
I was like, they're trolling, they want they want the
woke dude.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Yeah, no stone unturned m m.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Yeah, and nobody's judging, no judgment. No, I mean they're
not like underage. So yeah, yeah, all right, let's do
the matter. She said a little bit of a longer
episode this week. But we were off for two weeks,
three weeks so, and we're gonna be Are we gonna
