Monday Mini: All the Single Ladies (Get Married??), Part 1 · Stuff Mom Never Told You

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Stephane
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: never told you protection of iHeart Radio. Um, So, this
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: episode I think doesn't need a trigger warning, but unless
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you're like, I really can't handle something making me very
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: angry right now. But also there's a lot of humor
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to be because we're gonna be making fun of some
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: narratives that have happened recently around women in marriage, specifically
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: as the title suggests. So just just to put that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: out there, I think I think it's equal parts infuriating
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and funny. I don't know if you agree, Samantha, but
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, well you know the moment you're like, did
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: you get this email? Because it was sent to our
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: email address the actual show, and then it was sent
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to you directly, and it literally to me is tell
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: me you have not listened to our podcast without telling us.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: You've not listened to our podcast, like and even looked
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: over the titles of our podcast in general, point blank
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and this email is it? Yes? Okay, So before before
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we get into that, I'll explain it. But one of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the reasons I was thinking about this is because, um,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and you can check out our kind of post election
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: reflection Monday. Many we did for more information. But one
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of the narratives that came out, and a lot of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you have probably seen this clip circulating is um this
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Fox News story newsdesk where they're trying to figure out
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: why there wasn't this red wave they had predicted, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: one of the hosts, a man, was like, its single
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: women went for Democrats by thirties seven points. They're brainwashed
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: by Democrats. They need to get married. Men go out
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: there and put a ring on it because otherwise keep losing.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And these Democrats, they're putting policies in place that are
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: keeping women's single. So we've got to stop this right now,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: keeping women single. I love that. That's what's the mindset.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It's like, interesting, you really think that Democrats hold a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: whole of fighting when it must be single. Let's do this, Yes,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: he said, did they make it hard for women to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: get married? There's a lot to unpack and and all
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of that, but he literally said men go out and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: put a ring on it at the end, so he
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: referenced a Beyonce song yes to get his point across
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to other didn't even know he just heard it, which
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is what happens in times not realizing, oh, you're literally
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: taking from black people once again. Yes, yes, but it
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: was one of those things where I'm like, I can't believe.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I mean I can, but wow, for a modern day
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: newscast to basically be like, women need to get married
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to make sure that politics play out how I think
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: they should play out, which, by the way, he's also saying,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and the numbers do show this, but there's more nuance
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to it than that. But he's also saying like, once
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: women get married, they go super conservative, which is I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: will say, and we've talked about this before. I did
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: have a friend who flipped flopped her abortion stance after
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: having children, and her excuse to me was, you don't
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: know what it's like to have a kid. And my responses,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: did you ever work with a kid in a system?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And have you actually helped any kids that are in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the system? And her face just was dropped a little
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: bit and didn't say anything else, and that was the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: end of the conversation. We're not close. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, So it does I mean, it does happen.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: But he was basically I think the I think there's
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a lot more we could talk about that. He was
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: just glossing over other than they have brainwashed one way
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: or the other. Um. Basically, I mean it's implying like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: women are so easily manipulated. Uh anyway, No, it's definitely
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: an implication that if there was more control over women,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and women don't have the mind set to think for
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: themselves correctly. So therefore, I mean, there's definitely a lot
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of no ones like, wow, you really hate women, Like
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: do you not understand how little do you think of women?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And that's a problem, Like what incredibly offensive it was.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I couldn't I wish I had recorded my face when
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I was watching that news clip, but like, oh my gosh, Wow,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you're saying this on TV. Okay, Um, And to that end, yes,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Samantha referenced this email. So as part of this show,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we get a lot of what I call cold call emails,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: which is clear like they're emailing a bunch of people,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, have this guest on your show. Sometimes
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they're personalized, and I can tell we've actually listened to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the show most of the time they're not, which I understand,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: like that it's so much to listen to out there.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But as we've discussed, because we have Mom and the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: name of this show, right. We get a lot of
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: emails that are very specifically focused on issues around motherhood,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: which we do talk about, but most of them are
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: not what we actually do talk about when it comes
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to motherhood. We're not giving mommy advice and we would
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: never right, we're not. Essentially every host that's been on here,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I think one out of all of us have actually
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: had children at least planned a pregnancy. But I mean,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: like even still, like only half of us are married.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I think if that of all the hosts, yeah, yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: so it's one of those things where I get it,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: but most of them I ignore um and most of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: them even if you know, this isn't it, this isn't
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a good fit. I could kind of see why you
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: thought it would be m or you know, maybe eventon.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: But this email, this email we got and I was
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: reading it and my I just my jaw dropped to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the floor, almost like I could have not believe somebody
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: sent this to us. And again that they double down.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: We rarely get double emails. Essentially, we get one or
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the other and they don't associate their addressed to us
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: in the email to our actual show stuff. I've never
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: told you you know that often happens, but to get
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it to your like personal email work email is a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: whole different level. Like this dude doubled down. Yes, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: though you really you want them on this show? Yes, yeah, um,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and we're not gonna We're gonna avoid saying his name
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: because we really don't want to give him any His
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: name and his little slogan are so ridiculous that I'm like,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: but we're not going to no, and I mean it's
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: easily found out, but yeah, I just have no interest,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: um in giving him anymore traffic. It was kind of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: hilarious where I was like, you clearly have no idea
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: what we're about, or either you do, and you're so
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: deluded that you think that we would read your email
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and be like, Wow, he's got some good boys. I've
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: been changed. Let me get married yea. So we're gonna
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: read some sections of the email and react to them.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: All right, So it starts with we would love to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: have you interview this person on this explosive topic about
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: how feminism's mission to empower women has actually ended up
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: making women less happy, America less populated, and men wondering
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: what in the world is going on The world is
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: going on. I mean, at least for what it was
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: as an introductory you are intrigued. You're like wait what, Yeah,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, what's where's this going? Explosive topic?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: They also bold, there's a lot of like red fonts
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and like big letters. You know what I'm talking about,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Like this is how you get attention for your person,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and that it starts with feminism's mission to empower women.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So at least they understand, yeah, a little bit of
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the bottom line of yes, we would love to empower women.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That's what is. So you've got that party right. That
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: is interesting where it's sort of like maybe if we,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you know, feed them a little compliment in the beginning,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: they won't realize. But you know, that's the thing is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that I don't think they think of that as a compliment.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: You know how oftentimes when it comes to the antie
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: of one event, so anti feminist movements idea is that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they're going to take whatever rhetoric is used and then
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: flip it to weaponizes. So I don't know they actually
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: think this is a compliment as much as like, oh, yeah,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you're empowered. Oh yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: think they were just like this word is what is
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: used in this conversation a lot, so we'll get them
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: this way. It continues. Feminism in its current form is
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a blatant attack on the very structure that makes America work,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: marriage and family. This guest can discuss the rise and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: fall of feminism from a historical perspective that dies directly
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to communism, marks and b LM, and discuss in depth
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: what this radical movement has done. Two men, two men? Okay,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: so so far what we know from this dude. He
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: knows every word to use to rile up conservative followers.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So Marxism, communism, black lives matter, uh, radical movements. Obviously
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: he knows this level of like all right, and then
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: also what makes people feel comfortable? Marriage and family which
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was a whole damn subject in high school? Did you
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: have that lags in high school? Marmily? What it was
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: part of our home x stuff. Oh my gosh, see
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I had to take home back. But it was like
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: how to crack an egg? Yeah, So they did a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: lot of like marriage and family. Also like marriage and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: family uh in college too. In college, and that's the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: mrs degree type of level they're just trying to get
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it moving on. Like, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm remembering
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: something as like a social work so Jack, but I'm
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: pretty sure that was there. So again, I'm from well
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you're from a small town too, but l J. Georgia
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: absolutely fed into this level of like preserve the family
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and women should be taught these things. Um, it's very funny,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I find that they did well in finding
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the right words to rile up certain people groups. Um.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I also want to go back to the fact that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: they're they're very concerned about America's population. Yeah, and we
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: know that's a that's a white supremacist term and tactic
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: just as a Yeah, it sure is. And I mean
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I think it's clear. But this is a man we're
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: talking about who's just like, let me come on and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: tell you about feminism from a historical perspective, which I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: think is pretty telling. Yeah. Um, all right, so clearly
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: we get a lot of thoughts about this. We've been
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: getting riled up. I got all the rants. Yes, this
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: this one is chock full of rance, which I think
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: gets appropriate. But that means that we are it's a
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: surprise part two that happens sometimes a surprise part two.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Uh So be on the lookout for for the next
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: one and for even more infuriating funny things and our
• 12:17
