• 0:16
  Speaker 1: correctly or not, but I'll get to that in a second. First, this,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: this made the rounds over the weekend. It was somebody
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: who put an ad on Facebook. It got enough popularity
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the New York Times wrote about it. It was basically
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: some woman saying, I'd love to have a wife. She's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: not a lesbian. This isn't sexual. She said, I'd love
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to have a wife that could do the chores I hate.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'll do the ones she hates. We'll split the bills,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: we'll each max out our four one k's and roth iras.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It'd have to be sexless. Of course, we probably wouldn't
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: even need to get married. Of course, that's what would
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: make her sexless. Is anybody interested, to which a lot
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of the replies were, Yeah, that sounds awesome. I'd like
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that too, with a lot of the other replies saying,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: isn't that kind of what a marriage would be if
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you just found a man? I like, you split the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: chores and try to be financially responsible, and you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the sexist part wouldn't be great.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: But she's not a lesbian.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: She's not lesbian. It's just it's I don't know, I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: guess the the I know a tinge of men are
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: stupid and useless. Yes, would would help out with your chores, okay, well,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: or or or be a good partner for life, not
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: just chores. But that's yeah, definitely. And then like lots
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of people were on board like that, which kind of
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: gets that whole weird dating thing that's going on right
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: now where there's just you know, people aren't getting together. Uh,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: women thinking in some cases are right, there are there's
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: no men out there to look up with because they're
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: all sitting at home looking at porn and playing video games,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: which is true for a lot of men. And then
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you got the flip side of a man who don't
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: want to date because there's a bunch of crazy radicals. Well,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in the studies that we've talked about several times, the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: gap between one gender being one party and the other
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: gender being the other party, it's always been split pretty
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: much eavenly, and now it's vastly different.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: So I don't know.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know what we're gonna do about that it
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: failed to reproduce and die away. I guess it would
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: be my.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Defeatism is a warm blanket that people like if my
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: job sucks, all jobs suck, and I'm just not gonna
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: try anymore because all jobs suck. Yeah, here's the difference.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: My man sucks, all men suck. I'm not gonna try anymore.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But in this case it would be I've got a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: job though, that's pretty good. It's enough. I don't need more,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: so because like men are getting enough to get by
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: with porn and video games.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was talking more about that whole men
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: are stupid and useless.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I need a wife and women are getting by enough
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: with Gallantine's Day and whatever else.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I saw a.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Post the other day with the kind of going along
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: the line of what Joe's talking about, like the all
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: men are useless and what The top comment that had
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the most likes was you feel this way because you
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: can't get one.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: You're bitter and that's the only reason you're If some
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: guy came into that woman's life and swept her off
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: her feet tomorrow she'd be happy. Yep, They're useless until
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: that happens.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: How many members of the Nick quint is He man
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: woman haters club like have had a meaningful relationship with
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: a good woman and have decided Nope, I'm not in
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: favor of that. No, it's it's the defeatism I was
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: talking about. Yeah, and look, there are issues, there are problems,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: there are challenges. Overcome them, or just go ahead and die,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: go down and die. Just I hate defeatism. Or it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the only thing that can hold you back. Yes, Michael, No,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I was just shocked by that suggestion to that's all.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Here's how I'll transition to this other part or get
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: into too Pie to Mai, which is popular in China
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: right now. New York Times did a big piece on
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this over the weekend. China is failing to curb the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: secret filming betrayal of women and girls to my to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Pie to Mai, and I'm again I'm pronouncing that wrong.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I'm sure is a Chinese for secret filming betrayal, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it's become like the rage all across China. A vast
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: trade of secretly filmed footage of Chinese women and Girls
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: has flourished, powering the anonymity of by the anonymity of telegram.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That's like the you know, you can share stuff around
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: encryptied nobody can find out who you are, and the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: can nvenience of Chinese online payment apps. People are sharing
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and trading photos and videos of the girl, their own girlfriends, wives, relatives,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and acquaintances with secret cameras and bathrooms and bedrooms. Oh
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know it's daughters too, sick.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: That's sick. That'd be a small bridge to cross.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, Chinese culture is huge right now, God.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: You said twopied, whatever the hell? And I was thinking, like,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: is that a dessert?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: The lack of enforcement is striking for a country known
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: for its expansive online surveillance and its ability to track
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: users on platforms, right. I mean, they can crack down
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on all kinds of different stuff, but for whatever reason,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they can't or haven't on this, and it's just a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: huge thing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Wow, why China's weird? China is weird. We've got a
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: couple of listeners who've spent most of their lives living
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and working in China that are like, now you should come.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: It's actually pretty cool in a lot of way.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder about it. I wonder about That's funny.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I was talking to somebody the other day from Mongolia
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: and she grew up and so I didn't know anything
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: about Mongolia. I've been to a Mongolian barbecue, which I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: did not bring up to her.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: But.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't know anything opportunity. I didn't know anything about Mongolia.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So I did a tiny bit of research.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Hey, how about that Djengis Khan? He was something, wasn't
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: he crazy?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Since I you know? Anyway, so Mongolia was a basically
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a Soviet state and then got its freedom. So I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: said to this person, did you grow up under communism?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And she said yeah, And actually for us it was
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: pretty great. We liked it. I thought, well, because that's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: not what I was expecting, you know. Yeah, and we
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: were the one of the elite families. Oh okay, so
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you were one of the elite families that you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: get the the stuff of communism while everybody else out
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: there is suffering, and you know, you're into that. The
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: way communism works, it's done really in all the garky
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: as opposed to capitalism. And I thought that's interesting, And
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I wonder that about like when we hear that from people,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: have you know worked in China and said, is fantastic. Yeah,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're getting the full I'm a communist
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and not allowed to decide what I do for a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: living or where I live.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Treatment right, Yeah, these are American expats, I think, but
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with them. I would
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: like to know more. I just I don't take it
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: at face value, and it's like, oh, I was wrong. No,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I think, hmm, there's something going on here.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: But an interesting I didn't realize that at least the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: way I worked in Mongolian is probably this way in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of communist countries. There is a group, the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: top one percent, five percent, whatever it is, that think
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: this is pretty cool.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of enjoying myself one hundred percent.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And there was no crime, she said, because you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: everybody is so locked down and afraid. It's really great
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: if you were a part of the elite. But in China,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I guess they're all so lonely, weird. They're looking at
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: videos of your co worker's daughter taking a shower or
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: using the bathroom.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I don't get that at all.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: All of that makes me sick.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: To my stuff.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I know, I don't get it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I don't get I've never been denied well, first of all,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not a provo and then two, I've never been
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: denied any sort of like access to that sort of stuff.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know what desirous you would be of seeing
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: naked person in any situation if you didn't have access
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Or do they not have access to porn?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Well, China, from what I've understood in the past, because
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: as part of this article, they cracked down so hard
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: on their internet, they don't. They don't have, you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: unfettered porn like we have in the United States. But
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: for some reason they're on. But for some reason they're
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: allowing this. So you don't allow porn on your internet.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: But you got it right. You got neighbors trading pictures
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of daughters and wives without consent, you're videoing your wife
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom and sharing it with your friends, what
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the hell?
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Or selling it to people on behind and yeah creeps. Yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: we really really really need religion or like a specific,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: a specific moral code as as human beings. It is
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: too easy. According to every philosophy that's ever taken root,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: it's too easy to be drawn to the dark side
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: and and and become something you should not be. It's
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: just like every single minute of every day. Well, the
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: natural state of the universe's entropy, right, chaos, ugliness, well,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: not ugliness per se, but chaos.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, everything is moving toward disorder unless you have a
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: very strong force to hold it in order. And that's
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: true of every.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: All matter, planets, and human souls and and civilizations. Yeah,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: that's freaking profound right there. Huh did Yingma? Do you
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: know ying Ma?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Katie? She is a Bay Area person grew up in China,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: wrote a book about growing up in Oakland and how
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: racist it was, got on a lot of radio shows,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: just wondered did you ever talk to.

• 10:19
  Speaker 1: On the air, though, Joe, do you remember? I don't
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: want to share a story she said off air.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I can't remember. I think it might have been off air.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Of course, this is a podcast, it's not being aired
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: per se.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think she'd mind. I know her pretty well anyway.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: She grew up in China under communist control. Doesn't sound
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: very elite to me. I mean, when she was a kid,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: they'd go out and find a stray cat for dinner. Katie, Okay,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: she'd go out and grab a stray cat, bring it back,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: put it in a bucket of water and put the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: lid on it. Then skin it and cut it up
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and fry up and eat it because they didn't have
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: any other food, because they're desperate.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: You do what you have to do.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'd do that before it's are.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't sound like, you know, for those people
• 11:05

• 11:07
  Speaker 3: They're eating the cats, eating the dogs, the pets of
