  Speaker 1: I feel like that's too much air. One more thing,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I'm strong, andy thing, have ye hyperventilated? So I'm uncomfortable
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: with talking about this, even though everything I'm going to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: mention here is a product on the shelf at Target
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: down low, at the height of the average seven year old,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and you know, right there in public. So by that standard,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything dirty. I hate to even use
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that word, or adult or whatever. I guess they don't
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: think it's a delta Target if your kid can be
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: reading the box I was talking about. I was in
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of things I had to buy at Target
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in the like the pharmacy ish area, and I needed
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: some vitamins and some melatonin and everything like that. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: turned around, WHOA, They're right. There's the magnum condoms like
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: giant boxes. What is your lifestyle where you're buying them
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: by the gross but anyway, and then below the common
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: down low where the kids can see him in nice
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: bright colors, all the various pleasuring devices for men and women,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and there's like forty different choices.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Well, and back when it was merely vibratorus you could
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: get away with that. I mean, because I've got like
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: a massage gun.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And where you stick it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Oh no, trust me, you tried to use that for
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: like sexual gratification, you'd be hospitalized.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: It's definitely not for that. It's for pound those muscles. Uh.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: But you know if it was just like a massage one, well,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: sometimes when net kit's tense, you know, you could make
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the argument. But it goes far beyond that, Oh, a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: target massage.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: These are pure sexual ones. There's all kinds of different
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: brands and whatnot. The Plus one vibrating bullet, it's only
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: sixteen dollars, it says here. It's portable and discrete, waterproof
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and USB rechargeable. Got to like that. No batteries, the portable.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Why do you need to carry that around?
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Case?
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: You just get like an urge.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I don't never travel on the street, and you're just like,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're so damn I'm so horny.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: If I don't get off now, I don't know what
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I can do with myself. Well, it comes in different
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: sizes that which I don't quite understand. But maybe i'd
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: have to read the instructions or something. Well, different sizes
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of what I could explain it to you. But I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: think you could probably figure it out for yourself. I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: am somewhat a man of the world, and I realize
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: people come in different shapes and sizes. I get that,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: but the boxes are different sizes.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And not only that, but sometimes you want a small
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: challenge and sometimes you want to really prove something to yourself.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Right, Sometimes I get the single patty cheeseburger, and sometimes
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I get the double patty. Exactly. It's much bigger, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I'm in the mood for it. But like, I don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: understand the box of this is much bigger, and it
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't say anything on the outside. What more am I
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: getting for this bigger box? But I suppose I could
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: make some assumptions. There's the Bounce Vibe, not a lot
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: on the front of the box. It tells you what
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that is. There's a quote from a woman holding the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Bounce Vibe in her hand, and she's got a big
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: smile on her face, so she seems to be very
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: happy with this product, although she's fully clothed. So why
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: are you carrying around the Bounce Vibe fully clothed, standing smiling? Hey,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: look what I brought to the picnic. M And it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: says it literally set me into bliss. That is the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: quote on the front of that box.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Is that written by like a Chinese company with a
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: bad translator.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: The more expensive ones are all from the Hello Cake Company.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Hello Cake as in cake by the Ocean, as in
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: cake as a euphemism for sex. I guess right, Hello Cake.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You got the Hello Cake pocket wand a mighty powerful
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: vibrating wand for her it looks like a water tower
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in a small town if you drink, if you can picture,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that's that's what it's shaped like. And it's pink. Then
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: there's the Hello Cake little sucker, an air suction toy
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: for her. Not oh suction, I thought it was. You
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: said it was blowing earlier. Do you have any idea
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: what this is? Without getting too sink of it, it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: for the spot.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Air suction, okay, any spot that enjoys suction.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: It looks like something you would use to like clean
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: out of child's ears.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: It does. Yeah, it looks like you got That's why
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I'm buying it. You've got too much wax in your ear.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That's what I look at child in their waxy waxy
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and uh and uh. Then there's all kinds of good
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: clean love, almost naked personal lubricant ninety five percent organic.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I do appreciate sustainable lubricants. I don't want to damage.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want my carbon footprint to be too big
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: when I go into the bedroom.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm delighted to discuss people's genitalian and how
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: they pleasure those places. But what the hell does ninety
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: five percent organic mean?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Ky warming liquid if you're not warm
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: enough already, and then all kinds of different jellies and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: lubricants and stuff like that. But back to the pleasuring devices.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Then they got the mail section which is right next
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to it again down low child height, so your kid
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: would ask, what's a vibrating stroker?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Dad?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to you about a vibrating stroker, son,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure glad Target put it eye level height
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: for a child in a big colorful package that really
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: looks like it's aimed getting the attention of a kid.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't help, but that's just what it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: looks like.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: It's very bright, it's very colorful.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the words are in that font that's kind of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: for kids. Stuff. That's weird. Why wouldn't you make it
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: semi discreete that I mean, because these aren't impulse buys.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think you don't go to buy some soap
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and shampoo, A hey, a vibrating stroker. I've been thinking
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: about getting some sort of thing that vibrates me at
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: night because I don't have a girlfriend.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: It's like when you walk by the batteries at the Lows,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh, that's right, I need batteries. Yes, So
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: it's no nobody ever said that about the vibrating stroker.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So it's not an impulse buy. So you don't need
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to have the picture of what it is on the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: outside and the colorful letters and everything like that. You know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: have it somewhere and it's a you know whatever, more
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: more antiseptic terms for men.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael, you know what My question is, what whatever
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: happened to romance?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I was thick of the same thing. You got the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: vibrating stroker there and the shelf at Walmart. What is that? Well,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: they got the vibrating stroker next to the stroker. So
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the stroker is a double sided toy for him.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: That's manual.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does not vibrate. It's only twenty dollars a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: double sided toy for him. And I can't tell by
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: looking at it what it is.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: It looks like like a silicone matt that you would
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: put down on your counter prior to putting something hot
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: down that you can fold and flip inside out, because
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: there's texture on one side and there's not on the other.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I am so regretting going to this website to look
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: at these products, you.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Know, but then if you pay for the vibrating that's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and that doubles the price. He goes from twenty to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: thirty five. Yeah, but you never regret buying quality. In
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: my experience, a ribbed massager for him looks like a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: shark's about to eat me. That picture. I don't know
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: if that's what I'm looking for.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I have to say, as like, as a woman, if
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I was with a guy and he said hey and
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: like pulled out any of these, I'd go or head
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I'll see you later.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: This is weird.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It's weird to me. Yeah, I assume, uh there, you know,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: there's an interesting topic right there. If we're going to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: go all doctor ruth, I feel like, uh, based on
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: my life experience, that it's perfectly acceptable for women to say,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: would you mind if I bring out a I need
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a little help, and most guys are sure. Whereas if
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a guy says, would you mind if I bring out something,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a woman's gonna say what the hell and leave? I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: think I don't know that well, and you don't.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: You don't, sir, you really shouldn't that sort of help.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: You got everything you need right there.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I love I love this one. I'm saying.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: It's a bright pink box with a kind of teali
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: ish product called the buzzy Butt.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They didn't have that on the shelf. I'm sure the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: website has things that I assume they have things that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they don't put on the shelf store. Oh it does, Okay,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: it's the buzzy Butt. Would you like me to try
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to explain that one to you?
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Jack?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I haven't seen the picture, but I haven't yet.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I know that one. I have a guess. I don't seriously,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I hate to come off as prude like you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: like Tipper Gore. You know, I don't want to come
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: off of that. But I don't want If I got
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: an eight year old girl and I'm shopping and getting vitamins,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say, what's a buzzy butt? Dad?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: What's the vibrating stroker. I don't want that Target or
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Walmart or any of the other corporations that have these
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: down low for the children and brightly colored and pictures
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: on the front. What are you doing if you're not
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: trying to introduce sexual products to children? What are you doing?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Because it doesn't make any sense merely as advertising to adults.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Well, and sexualizing children is absolutely an aspect of the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: neo Marxism we're always talking about. It's a perverse part
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: of that philosophy. But trust me, it fits into their
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: whole rubric. Yeah, that's about what I expected, Katie. Katie
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: just sent a picture of the old the B.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Squared but it looks like Okay, I know I made
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: this joke earlier.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: It is a toy, but this looks like something for
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: a child.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: The color, the font, the name cake.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I guess I need something next to that to have
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: perspective of size, But at least from the picture, that
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: looks like.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: The size of a hammer jack, much more than I want.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: It looks like you can put Christmas lights on it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Michael, it looks like I'm building
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: one of those big elaborate train sets in my basement,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and I need some pine trees or it would.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Make a wonderful door stop. Huh wow again, I mean,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: do you tell me again? I feel like a prude
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: saying that. Tell me that you think that that's okay
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to have three feet off the ground at Target where
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: your kid's looking at it. The buzzy butt in that thing,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: now a vibrating toy for backside play. You're trying to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: sexualize kids.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's any solid argument to be made
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: in favor of making everything public, everything humans do behind
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: closed doors, in the privacy of an intimate relationship.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: It's just it's it's it's course it don't you it's primitive,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: it's animal like.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you agree that that looks like font design to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: appeal to children? The Hello cake, I mean, that really
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: looks like a kid product. Buzzy butt a vibrating toy
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: for backside play. That's a weird man out myself. We've
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: we've crossed, we've crossed some line of something.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I gotta think Target's gonna get a lot of flak
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: for this type of stuff.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's in I don't know, Walmart Walmart
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: has a section too. I don't know if they have
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the same stuff in the same package.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: At night. I went to their their website.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: It's it's all the same stuff, limit much less available
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: quote in store.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: But honest to god, if anybody is listening that knows,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: make the argument that this is not an attempt to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: sexualize children or introduce people at a younger age to this.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Stuff, it's it's it's awful. Not only that, but they
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: charged me five dollars for shipping on.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: The buzzy But you just like saying, but five dollars.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Looks like Targets started carrying sex toys in March of
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty two, so this has been going on for
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: a couple of years.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's pretty damned recent. That was my point
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: when we were talking about this on the radio show.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: We didn't used to think this was okay to be
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: in the store, especially in a in an open section
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: down where kids look at it. And now and now
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: we do or does Target think we do and we
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: actually don't. That's my question. Well, I guess that's it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Get distracted looking at the buzzy button, Michael, Is that
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: what was going on there?
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: No I got one word for that ouch.
