- 0:15Speaker 2: she's back. I think I got her back. Cara Kennedy, co-host, wonderful.
- 0:22Speaker 2: So let's just like reintroduce ourselves because it's been a
- 0:25Speaker 2: hot minute. I'm Bethany Mandel. It's easy to tell our
- 0:28Speaker 2: voices apart. a mom of six and a contributing writer
- 0:32Speaker 2: at the Washington Examiner and another outlet to be announced.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Oh, wait, no, I need to know.
- 0:39Speaker 2: I'll tell you later.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Oh my God.
- 0:42Speaker 2: And I have six children and we homeschool, but I'm
- 0:45Speaker 2: not tried. I promise. I'm joined by... Cara.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Kennedy, contributing writer at the Free Press. And as of today...
- 0:54Speaker 3: non-solo parenting anymore. And I just did it for four
- 0:57Speaker 3: days and I nearly went crazy. So Bethany is solo
- 1:00Speaker 3: parenting all week this week with six kids and I
- 1:03Speaker 3: only have two. So I don't know how she does it.
- 1:06Speaker 3: She shows me up.
- 1:07Speaker 2: So last, one of the last times that I solo parented,
- 1:10Speaker 2: so Seth sometimes goes to New Jersey to help his
- 1:13Speaker 2: parents and he's doing that this week. And about a
- 1:17Speaker 2: year and a half ago, he did this for the
- 1:19Speaker 2: first time and I almost killed our dog. He got
- 1:23Speaker 2: a raisin box and dogs can't eat raisins or grapes.
- 1:28Speaker 2: And so I had to bring him to get his
- 1:29Speaker 2: stomach pumped.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Oh, no. Wait, I have a really sad story about this.
- 1:34Speaker 3: So Nick, my husband, is very, very paranoid about dogs
- 1:40Speaker 3: having poisonous things because his dog had chocolate and died.
- 1:44Speaker 4: What?
- 1:45Speaker 2: I didn't know they actually would die. I thought it
- 1:46Speaker 2: was just a threat.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it was specifically like cooking chocolate, like dark chocolate.
- 1:52Speaker 3: And that is like super, super toxic. So Shelby, her
- 1:55Speaker 3: name was, ate a bag of cooking, like a big
- 1:59Speaker 3: bag of like cooking chocolates. And he was so angry
- 2:03Speaker 3: afterwards because he Googled it. And like the first thing
- 2:05Speaker 3: that came up on Google was like, oh, it's like
- 2:07Speaker 3: probably fine. Just monitor the dog for 24 hours and
- 2:11Speaker 3: it'll probably be fine. And then like 17 hours in,
- 2:15Speaker 3: she had a fit and died on the floor. Yeah,
- 2:18Speaker 3: and he has been like... I don't think he's gotten
- 2:21Speaker 3: over it even now. And it was like 10 years ago. So, yeah. So,
- 2:26Speaker 3: it's serious, guys. It's serious. Don't listen to Google. Yeah.
- 2:30Speaker 2: So, I pumped poor Truman's stomach. It was the second
- 2:33Speaker 2: time we've pumped his stomach. What was the first time?
- 2:36Speaker 2: It was grapes. Grapes and then raisins.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Does he get ill? Do you, like, see him go?
- 2:43Speaker 2: No, we don't want to mess around. So, we pump
- 2:45Speaker 2: his stomach because... ill is like the kidneys shut down
- 2:48Speaker 2: and then they die there's there's no take backsies yeah
- 2:52Speaker 2: we start having the effects so we pumped his stomach
- 2:56Speaker 2: twice and now thank god like seth still trust me
- 2:59Speaker 2: alone with our children and the dog mostly just the dog.
- 3:04Speaker 5: I get worried because uh wait did i tell you
- 3:06Speaker 5: i have a puppy no i have a new puppy
- 3:10Speaker 5: yeah which is crazy because nick turned around to me
- 3:13Speaker 5: a couple weeks ago And was like, should we have
- 3:16Speaker 5: another baby?
- 3:17Speaker 3: And I was like, no. She's just in like seven
- 3:21Speaker 3: months old now. And then he came home with a puppy.
- 3:24Speaker 2: I did that to Seth with guinea pigs.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Oh, that's not a good standing.
- 3:30Speaker 5: For a child.
- 3:31Speaker 2: No, terrible. You should just have a baby also.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Yeah, just not yet. I can't do three under three.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Did you ever do three under three?
- 3:38Speaker 2: I think I technically, I think I did three, three
- 3:42Speaker 2: and under. I did.
- 3:42Speaker 6: Okay.
- 3:44Speaker 2: I did three, two, baby.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sad that I can't say two under two anymore. Two,
- 3:50Speaker 3: two and under, I can say. But yeah.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I did three, three and under. And then I
- 3:54Speaker 2: did four, four and under. No, I did four, five
- 3:58Speaker 2: and under.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Okay.
- 4:01Speaker 2: I just basically didn't sleep.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Five-year-olds to me now seem like teenagers.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Adults, right?
- 4:05Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 4:06Speaker 3: It's really crazy.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, my five-year-old is delightful and very easy.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel like they're very self-sufficient.
- 4:14Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 4:16Speaker 3: Yeah. All of the five-year-olds I know could live on
- 4:18Speaker 3: their own.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:19Speaker 3: They're fine.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Yeah. So I wanted to talk some smack today. Why not, right?
- 4:25Speaker 3: Smack about children.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Actually, their parents. It is homecoming season, and I am shocked. Again,
- 4:36Speaker 2: I'm shocked every year. by the dresses that people are
- 4:39Speaker 2: posting of their children. I'm shocked by so many components.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I'm shocked that they are letting their daughters out of
- 4:48Speaker 2: the house wearing that because if I had walked down
- 4:50Speaker 2: the stairs wearing this like 1940s swimsuit, I would have
- 4:54Speaker 2: been told to turn around and go right back upstairs,
- 4:57Speaker 2: number one. But worse than the fact that they're wearing
- 5:01Speaker 2: the dresses is that the parents have purchased them. And worse,
- 5:05Speaker 2: worse than that is that the parents are taking pictures
- 5:10Speaker 2: and they're like, look at my daughter and posting it
- 5:12Speaker 2: on their social media. That is such an L as
- 5:17Speaker 2: a parent that you have absolutely no control of your
- 5:21Speaker 2: child to say like, that's not appropriate, especially when it's
- 5:27Speaker 2: your like private Christian school. I also, it's an L
- 5:31Speaker 2: for the Christian schools who don't have a dress code. Yeah. Yeah.
- 5:36Speaker 3: And so I have to say, everybody, I thought Bethany
- 5:39Speaker 3: was exaggerating. So I made her show me a couple
- 5:41Speaker 3: of photos beforehand. And she's not wrong. It's pretty bad.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:47Speaker 3: It's like, it's like fine to wear at the club. Wait,
- 5:49Speaker 3: how old are people who go to home come in?
- 5:52Speaker 4: 15, 16.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, it's too much.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's spaghetti strap, low cut, and completely form fitting.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And then I don't like right up to the butt crack,
- 6:07Speaker 2: like right up to the ass cheeks. If you, I
- 6:11Speaker 2: don't know how you sit down personally in that dress.
- 6:15Speaker 2: And I have said this every single year for 10 years.
- 6:18Speaker 2: And every person said to me, Oh, well, Bethany, just
- 6:23Speaker 2: wait until you have a teenager and then we'll see.
- 6:26Speaker 2: And those people are the worst because they pawn off
- 6:30Speaker 2: their inadequacies as the just a given they're just a
- 6:35Speaker 2: forsaken force force force gone conclusion and it's not and
- 6:41Speaker 2: now i have a 13 year old so now i
- 6:43Speaker 2: finally get to have an opinion and it is bad
- 6:46Speaker 2: parenting i have never had to say no to anything
- 6:51Speaker 2: my daughter wanted to purchase if anything i'm like maybe
- 6:55Speaker 2: can we buy a real swimsuit instead of a burka
- 7:00Speaker 2: you don't need an ankle length dress to the pool
- 7:05Speaker 2: kidding she wears an ankle length dress to the pool.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Did you stress modestly no no I'm.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Not pushing the burka on my daughter okay just for
- 7:15Speaker 2: the record it's really annoying actually to find the swimsuits
- 7:19Speaker 2: that she feels comfortable wearing but if I'm gonna pick
- 7:22Speaker 2: one it's that versus like The bikinis, like the string
- 7:27Speaker 2: bikinis that I see people.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Bikinis are too much now. Nick says this all the time.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Like whenever we go to a beach, he's like, there's
- 7:34Speaker 3: nothing left to not see, you know?
- 7:38Speaker 2: Especially when it's children. Like when a child does not
- 7:42Speaker 2: have a credit card of their own, I know that
- 7:46Speaker 2: mom and dad purchased the string bikini.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Yeah. Although I will say toddlers in my crop tops
- 7:52Speaker 3: are so cute. Cause they have like the big fat belly. No,
- 7:56Speaker 3: it's so funny. I have one friend who dresses her
- 7:59Speaker 3: kid in crop tops and like the fat little belly.
- 8:02Speaker 3: It's so cute.
- 8:03Speaker 2: It's so cute. I, somebody posted, I tweeted this very, very,
- 8:11Speaker 2: what is the word I'm looking for? Judgmental, I guess,
- 8:14Speaker 2: take on Twitter earlier. And someone was like, yeah, my,
- 8:17Speaker 2: my friend, my neighbor posted a picture just like that.
- 8:20Speaker 2: And this year, Two years later, her daughter is pregnant.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Wow. Who would have thought it? Who could have seen
- 8:29Speaker 3: that coming? I was going to say, I feel like
- 8:33Speaker 3: you have to let kids be sneaky and let in
- 8:40Speaker 3: them dress like that without like... When I was in school,
- 8:45Speaker 3: I would have like a short dress on and then
- 8:46Speaker 3: I would put something on top of it to sneak
- 8:48Speaker 3: out of the house, you know? Me too.
- 8:50Speaker 2: You had to sneak out of the house wearing that.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Yeah, like you had to, but like it's taken away
- 8:54Speaker 3: their chance to sneak out, which is the funnest part.
- 8:58Speaker 3: It is.
- 8:59Speaker 2: But it also instills, I think, a healthy level of shame.
- 9:03Speaker 2: That is what our society needs more of, is shame.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that.
- 9:09Speaker 2: We should be a little embarrassed to walk out of
- 9:11Speaker 2: the house like that. And when mom and dad are
- 9:13Speaker 2: taking a picture and posting on their personal Instagram, there
- 9:16Speaker 2: is no shame. Yeah.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Which brings us to.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Which brings us to. Guys, you know where we're going next. Cornell.
- 9:25Speaker 6: Yes.
- 9:27Speaker 3: Have you written a piece about this? Because I got
- 9:29Speaker 3: asked to and I had so many different thoughts to
- 9:34Speaker 3: fit into a 600 word piece that I was like, no,
- 9:36Speaker 3: I can't. I can't actually do this.
- 9:39Speaker 1: I did.
- 9:40Speaker 2: I wrote a piece, I think a week ago, two
- 9:42Speaker 2: weeks ago for the New York Post. And basically the
- 9:46Speaker 2: headline was like, this is the end result of the
- 9:48Speaker 2: pornification of our culture. So I interviewed for this podcast, Dr.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Leonard Sachs. That episode is upcoming. It keeps on getting
- 9:57Speaker 2: bumped for news. But guys, when that episode comes out,
- 10:00Speaker 2: I really, really urge you to listen to it because
- 10:04Speaker 2: he re-released a book of his called Boys Adrift. He
- 10:08Speaker 2: wrote it, I don't know, like 20 years ago. And
- 10:10Speaker 2: he released it this again, again this year, because there
- 10:14Speaker 2: was so much stuff about pornography and AI that he
- 10:18Speaker 2: felt like he needed to revamp the whole book. And
- 10:22Speaker 2: I've said this on the podcast before, when I finished
- 10:24Speaker 2: that book, I got a monitoring service for all of
- 10:27Speaker 2: my kids' devices because I don't want their first exposure
- 10:32Speaker 2: to sexuality to be pornography. And the statistics that he
- 10:37Speaker 2: cited in the book were really, really shocking about how
- 10:41Speaker 2: young people think about sex now. And spoiler alert, it's
- 10:45Speaker 2: because of porn. The instances of choking are way up.
- 10:51Speaker 2: He talks about how he goes on high school campus
- 10:54Speaker 2: tours and talks to high school boys about sex. And
- 10:58Speaker 2: he's like, boys, girls don't like when you ejaculate on
- 11:01Speaker 2: their face. And the boys are like, really? Yeah. Because
- 11:05Speaker 2: that's what they think girls like. And I think the
- 11:07Speaker 2: most shocking statistic that he cited in the piece was
- 11:11Speaker 2: that traditionally erectile dysfunction numbers were were in the like two,
- 11:17Speaker 2: 3% for ages like 18 to 25, they are up
- 11:22Speaker 2: to like 18, 19% now because, and they're prescribing guys
- 11:28Speaker 2: in their like upper teens, lower twenties, Viagra at those
- 11:32Speaker 2: numbers because they can only get stimulated by seeing violent porn.
- 11:38Speaker 2: They can't, they're, they cannot get an erection from just
- 11:42Speaker 2: a normal sexual interaction anymore.
- 11:45Speaker 3: That's really sad. It's one of those things that I
- 11:46Speaker 3: hear and I'm like, this can't be true. Things can't
- 11:50Speaker 3: be that bad. But the numbers just are what they are.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Did you have this when you were in school?
- 11:56Speaker 2: Porn?
- 11:57Speaker 3: Like instances of like a viral video going around and
- 12:02Speaker 3: like everybody showing each other. Because I feel like we
- 12:05Speaker 3: did have this. And I feel like we may have
- 12:07Speaker 3: been like the first.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Do you remember like really gross stuff like two girls,
- 12:11Speaker 3: one cup?
- 12:12Speaker 2: Oh my God. Yes.
- 12:13Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Like that came out when like I was in high school.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:16Speaker 3: And I remember like.
- 12:18Speaker 2: No, you weren't in high school. Cause I was in
- 12:20Speaker 2: high school.
- 12:21Speaker 5: Oh really?
- 12:21Speaker 3: Maybe it must've had like a Renaissance. And there were
- 12:26Speaker 3: a couple other examples of like the viral, just like gross, gross, gross.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:31Speaker 2: But you had to, I feel like you had to
- 12:32Speaker 2: go looking for it. And so one of the other
- 12:34Speaker 2: shocking things that he said was that it chases kids.
- 12:38Speaker 2: So when they open a Tik TOK account or a
- 12:40Speaker 2: YouTube account, the algorithm realizes that this is a 19-year-old
- 12:46Speaker 2: or a 16-year-old boy, and they feed them the content.
- 12:50Speaker 2: And so they don't have to look for it. It's
- 12:52Speaker 2: just shoved at them. And the other really surprising thing
- 12:56Speaker 2: was that, like, you can just, like, make your own pornography.
- 13:00Speaker 2: And so these kids can, like, take a picture of
- 13:03Speaker 2: a girl that they like and insert her into, like,
- 13:07Speaker 2: violent pornography and then share it.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Yeah, that's... I mean, the fact that that is going
- 13:14Speaker 3: to be what our children contend with.
- 13:16Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 13:17Speaker 3: As they're coming of age now is so insanely scary.
- 13:21Speaker 3: Cause like, I remember when I was in high school
- 13:25Speaker 3: and it was, we were probably the first cohort of like, well,
- 13:28Speaker 3: the first real cohort. Cause I speak to my husband
- 13:30Speaker 3: about this and he's like seven years older than me.
- 13:33Speaker 3: And his cohort like didn't send like naked pictures.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Yeah. We don't think we really did either.
- 13:39Speaker 3: And I feel like my generation is the first generation
- 13:42Speaker 3: to really flirt and strike up online relationships or relationships
- 13:49Speaker 3: that are in real life, but also, like, are mainly
- 13:52Speaker 3: done over a phone.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Right. I mean, no, I mean, we would like Gchat
- 13:56Speaker 2: and everything. I mean, what's different about this generation, though,
- 13:59Speaker 2: is that they don't strike up relationships online. They have
- 14:03Speaker 2: relationships with their AI. Oh, yeah, that's great. That was
- 14:08Speaker 2: a whole other component of it was these parasocial relationships
- 14:11Speaker 2: that people have with AI. That's another thing that I'm like,
- 14:15Speaker 2: are people really doing this?
- 14:16Speaker 3: It seems so end of the world-y.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Can I admit something, though? so I don't, I don't
- 14:25Speaker 2: have a therapist. I don't have time for that. I
- 14:26Speaker 2: don't really, I don't, I don't like therapy and, and
- 14:29Speaker 2: I'm not to be a Scientologist, but I think it's
- 14:31Speaker 2: actually kind of unhealthy to just dwell on your problems
- 14:34Speaker 2: once a week for an hour.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:36Speaker 2: I just, I don't think that it's good for you,
- 14:38Speaker 2: but there was something that was like really bothering me
- 14:41Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. And I just like with,
- 14:44Speaker 2: with talk to type, I just unloaded it into chat GPT.
- 14:48Speaker 2: And I was like, why am I so angry? And I,
- 14:51Speaker 2: chat gbt psychoanalyzed me perfectly and i was like oh
- 14:56Speaker 2: oh yeah that's true that is why.
- 14:58Speaker 3: Okay that scares me it's a gateway.
- 15:02Speaker 2: I only did it that one time and it was
- 15:04Speaker 2: like do you know like on the instant pot where
- 15:06Speaker 2: you press the pressure release valve and it goes and
- 15:10Speaker 2: it releases the pressure that's what it felt like to
- 15:12Speaker 2: me and as soon as i as soon as it
- 15:14Speaker 2: psychoanalyzed me i was like oh yeah yep okay i'm
- 15:18Speaker 2: done And it was like, now I feel good about it,
- 15:21Speaker 2: and I can move on. So I'm not, like, anti-anti,
- 15:26Speaker 2: but I can see it.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just people who aren't like you will get
- 15:32Speaker 3: that gratification. I don't know if it gratified you, though.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Would you say it gratified you?
- 15:37Speaker 2: Yeah, it did.
- 15:38Speaker 4: Oh, it did?
- 15:38Speaker 3: Yeah. Some people just love gratification so much that they'll
- 15:42Speaker 3: just chase that. And ChatGPT doesn't have the brain to, like...
- 15:48Speaker 3: be like, no, actually, you've acted really badly here, you know?
- 15:52Speaker 2: Yes, yeah. No, it is very forward and positive.
- 16:05Speaker 1: I'm Greg Karumbas. Join Jim Garrity of National Review and
- 16:08Speaker 1: me each weekday for the Three Martini Lunch podcast. We'll
- 16:11Speaker 1: give you the good, bad, and crazy news of the
- 16:13Speaker 1: day and lots of laughs too. Find us right here
- 16:16Speaker 1: on the Ricochet Audio Network at ricochet.com or wherever you
- 16:20Speaker 1: get your podcasts.
- 16:30Speaker 2: So let's go back to Cornell.
- 16:34Speaker 3: Yes.
- 16:35Speaker 2: The dresses and the pornification, all of those things, every,
- 16:41Speaker 2: every like source that I've seen, not the reporting, but
- 16:44Speaker 2: the actual like text messages that I've seen and the
- 16:49Speaker 2: timelines that I've seen everything. It seems like this is
- 16:55Speaker 2: a young woman who thought it would be fun and
- 16:59Speaker 2: sexy and subversive and engaged in behavior that we would
- 17:06Speaker 2: not want our daughters to be being engaging in and
- 17:09Speaker 2: then there is still a level of shame in our
- 17:13Speaker 2: society and so people started talking about her on campus
- 17:16Speaker 2: and that was when she changed her mind and it
- 17:20Speaker 2: became a non-consensual encounter.
- 17:25Speaker 3: And that's really tricky because um do you listen to.
- 17:29Speaker 2: The fifth column podcast i wish i did though it's
- 17:32Speaker 2: really good is it easy to just drop in.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. They had Sarah Heppler on, do you
- 17:39Speaker 3: know Sarah Heppler? She does the, she wrote Blackout.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- 17:46Speaker 3: And she just wrote another book called Everything You Were
- 17:53Speaker 3: Told to Ever Want or something. It's about like not
- 17:55Speaker 3: having kids and family. And it's really interesting because She
- 18:00Speaker 3: frames it as, like, oh, everybody always told me that
- 18:02Speaker 3: I should feel, like, so empowered and, like, for, like,
- 18:06Speaker 3: not getting married and having kids. And actually, like, it's
- 18:09Speaker 3: not that simple. It just never happened to me and
- 18:11Speaker 3: I really wanted it. So it's a very interesting perspective anyway.
- 18:14Speaker 3: And she was talking about how she was the, like,
- 18:18Speaker 3: personal essays editor of some magazine in, like, peak woke.
- 18:24Speaker 3: And she said for... A couple years there, I'm probably
- 18:28Speaker 3: absolutely ruining this depiction of what she actually said, but
- 18:32Speaker 3: it's like along the lines. For a couple years there,
- 18:35Speaker 3: all she had were submissions from women, older women who
- 18:39Speaker 3: were trying to reframe a bad sexual experience they had
- 18:43Speaker 3: 10 years prior as rape. And there was a couple
- 18:48Speaker 3: year period there where if women... thought back on a
- 18:54Speaker 3: sexual encounter that made them embarrassed, made them feel bad
- 18:56Speaker 3: that they regretted. We just accepted. Yeah. Something was done
- 19:01Speaker 3: to them and it was really bad and whoever it
- 19:03Speaker 3: was should go to prison, you know? And it scares
- 19:06Speaker 3: me that I feel like we're going back to that
- 19:08Speaker 3: with L.
- 19:09Speaker 2: I think about, so Lily Phillips is a pornography stunt person,
- 19:15Speaker 2: kind of like she does lots of stunts online. She's
- 19:19Speaker 2: on OnlyFans. And she did a stunt.
- 19:21Speaker 3: The one that had sex with a hundred or a thousand?
- 19:24Speaker 1: Well, both.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 19:26Speaker 2: So she did a hundred first and a documentary, a
- 19:30Speaker 2: YouTube documentary filmmaker followed her around. And afterwards she was
- 19:36Speaker 2: a mess. She was crying. She talked about how she
- 19:39Speaker 2: dissociated and, and mentally blacked out. Like she dissociated to
- 19:44Speaker 2: such an extent that she blacked out and couldn't remember
- 19:48Speaker 2: a lot of what happened. And it was so consensual
- 19:52Speaker 2: that she was looking for the men, she taped it,
- 19:56Speaker 2: she hyped it on her social media, and then later
- 19:59Speaker 2: she did it with a thousand men. And was, you know, much,
- 20:03Speaker 2: much more, she was, she was much better about being
- 20:06Speaker 2: prompt and, you know, keeping things moving so that she
- 20:08Speaker 2: could fit a thousand in instead of a hundred. Even
- 20:12Speaker 2: in that documentary, after she did the hundred men, she
- 20:16Speaker 2: looked like a woman who had been raped. Yeah. Because
- 20:19Speaker 2: she had been physically violated.
- 20:22Speaker 3: But how do you, like my friend, my friend, Callie,
- 20:26Speaker 3: who is on Twitter is Twitter's Audrey Horn. We were
- 20:29Speaker 3: talking about this a couple of nights ago. And she
- 20:32Speaker 3: was talking about how there needs to be like a
- 20:34Speaker 3: third thing, like a moral kind of bucket that we
- 20:39Speaker 3: put stuff in that isn't necessarily illegal and isn't just
- 20:44Speaker 3: fine because somebody has consented so they can have whatever
- 20:47Speaker 3: they want done to them. But like a secret third
- 20:49Speaker 3: thing that is like a moral kind of way up
- 20:53Speaker 3: of whether you... Is it called marriage? Yeah.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Because it's very easy for us. I, like, I don't understand, like,
- 21:02Speaker 2: I'm not saying I didn't have premarital interactions, okay? I don't, like,
- 21:08Speaker 2: my kids might listen to this one day. But I honestly,
- 21:11Speaker 2: I say this to my kids, if I'm just being honest. Like,
- 21:14Speaker 2: do I preach to my kids, save yourself for marriage?
- 21:17Speaker 2: I don't. I don't, I don't, I don't think it's necessary.
- 21:20Speaker 3: I think it's a recipe for disaster as well, honestly.
- 21:22Speaker 3: I do too.
- 21:23Speaker 2: I know people who rushed into marriages with not the
- 21:26Speaker 2: right people because they wanted to have sex. Yeah. And
- 21:29Speaker 2: you have to also just know if there's chemistry. But
- 21:33Speaker 2: it doesn't mean jumping into bed with 100 men.
- 21:37Speaker 3: But I also think that the thing with Cornel that
- 21:41Speaker 3: really confuses me is that I feel like as a society,
- 21:47Speaker 3: we do not allow ourselves or other people now to
- 21:51Speaker 3: do things, particularly sexually, and have the space to be like, oh,
- 21:57Speaker 3: that didn't make me feel good. That was a mistake.
- 22:00Speaker 3: I don't want to do it again. Now, whether it's
- 22:03Speaker 3: yourself or whether I think in the case of Cornell,
- 22:06Speaker 3: Jane Doe felt so ostracized by everybody around her and
- 22:12Speaker 3: so shamed that everybody projecting that she should feel bad
- 22:18Speaker 3: made her retroactively feel bad, you know, retrospectively feel bad.
- 22:23Speaker 2: That feeling bad doesn't mean that someone did something wrong
- 22:26Speaker 2: to you and that you can ruin their lives.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Because like, there's a lot of ruined lives here. There's
- 22:32Speaker 2: her life, which is ruined. There's all the boys who
- 22:36Speaker 2: had a consensual encounter. That was disgusting. Okay. Like I
- 22:40Speaker 2: don't want my boys to ever engage in something like that.
- 22:42Speaker 2: I don't want them to get a text that says
- 22:44Speaker 2: like free upstairs. And they're like, heck yeah, that's disgusting.
- 22:49Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Gross. But also all of the members of the frat
- 22:54Speaker 2: are being doxxed right now by like Reddit. Every single
- 22:58Speaker 2: one of those boys, even people who were not in
- 23:00Speaker 2: the building at the time are getting doxxed and their
- 23:04Speaker 2: lives are getting destroyed. So the collateral damage is significant,
- 23:10Speaker 2: but what bothers me about this as a woman and like,
- 23:15Speaker 2: it bothers me on several levels. Cause I'm like, I'm
- 23:17Speaker 2: as a woman, a mother of daughters, a mother of sons.
- 23:20Speaker 2: What bothers me as a woman is this woman gave
- 23:23Speaker 2: consent repeatedly. And when she said she wasn't comfortable with things,
- 23:26Speaker 2: they immediately stopped. There was total consent here. And then
- 23:32Speaker 2: she retroactively withdrew that consent. Homie, that doesn't work like
- 23:36Speaker 2: that girl. But now as a woman, are we not
- 23:40Speaker 2: able to give consent? Like this, this is, she's now
- 23:44Speaker 2: setting the precedent that we're not able to give consent.
- 23:47Speaker 2: And I'm thinking about this in a post Lindsay Clancy
- 23:50Speaker 2: world where my husband is supposed to protect me from myself.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Patrick Clancy didn't do right by Lindsay, according to these
- 23:58Speaker 2: same people, because he let her be alone with her,
- 24:01Speaker 2: her children, even though she had never said, I feel homicidal.
- 24:05Speaker 2: I feel suicidal.
- 24:06Speaker 6: Nothing.
- 24:06Speaker 2: She had never said that she never verbalized it. And
- 24:09Speaker 2: yet the internet expects him to have never left her
- 24:11Speaker 2: alone with her children. So now like feminism, what 5.0,
- 24:16Speaker 2: wherever we are now, Women can't be left alone with
- 24:20Speaker 2: their own children. Women cannot grant consent. Like what are
- 24:24Speaker 2: we capable of according to these women? Because they've taken everything.
- 24:29Speaker 3: Clancy and this case are two of the biggest examples
- 24:33Speaker 3: in the past, like what is it? The past like
- 24:35Speaker 3: three months of like women are ruled by their hormones.
- 24:41Speaker 3: And even when a woman is saying something with her
- 24:46Speaker 3: words to you, You don't have to listen. They might
- 24:50Speaker 3: not be telling the truth because they don't know what
- 24:52Speaker 3: they want.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're too hysterical. They're too emotional. They can't
- 24:56Speaker 2: be too horny.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Like everything. It's crazy.
- 24:59Speaker 2: They're too driven by their emotions. This is a dangerous
- 25:03Speaker 2: road that they're walking us down. And they're not going
- 25:06Speaker 2: to like what's on the other end of it. They're
- 25:09Speaker 2: not going to like the destination because it is a
- 25:12Speaker 2: world where we're not allowed to. Men can't trust us.
- 25:16Speaker 3: And it's also a shame that as a society we have,
- 25:20Speaker 3: because there was a very simple way 30 years ago
- 25:25Speaker 3: that this would have gone down. And it would have
- 25:28Speaker 3: been Jane Doe's brother or father finds the guys and
- 25:32Speaker 3: beats the hell out of them. And they never do
- 25:35Speaker 3: it again. This is just like how society worked.
- 25:38Speaker 2: And also that she would feel so shamed she would
- 25:41Speaker 2: have to leave campus and never come back. All of
- 25:43Speaker 2: those scenarios are good, by the way. You should feel
- 25:47Speaker 2: shame as a person, not just a woman. As a person,
- 25:52Speaker 2: you should feel shame if you engage in an encounter
- 25:54Speaker 2: like that. It's embarrassing. It's gross. Yeah.
- 25:58Speaker 3: I mean, but what if a girl wants to have
- 26:01Speaker 3: a threesome? What if a single girl wants to have
- 26:03Speaker 3: a threesome? You know, like they say this is a
- 26:05Speaker 3: difficult situation as somebody who just went to slut con,
- 26:09Speaker 3: which we will talk about in the next episode.
- 26:12Speaker 2: And tune in for that one.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Yeah, TLDR is a sex conference for men ran by
- 26:18Speaker 3: self-described sluts who put on this conference for men to
- 26:23Speaker 3: teach them how to have sex and turn women on, basically,
- 26:26Speaker 3: and just be interesting and able to have a conversation.
- 26:32Speaker 3: And a lot of those women are single and often
- 26:36Speaker 3: have threesomes, and that seems fine.
- 26:39Speaker 6: No?
- 26:40Speaker 3: No. this is the difficult thing with i mean.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Like go ahead and do it but just know that
- 26:46Speaker 2: i'm judging you internally.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Because i saw a tweet yesterday by a conservative about
- 26:51Speaker 3: how jane doe must have been raped because women don't
- 26:54Speaker 3: have threesomes because she's never heard of a woman who.
- 26:57Speaker 4: Has a threesome okay karen sweet summer child summer child
- 27:04Speaker 4: I was literally like going to quote to you here
- 27:06Speaker 4: and I was like, it's not worth it.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Stop.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:10Speaker 3: I mean, but I'm just putting the counterpoint out there.
- 27:13Speaker 3: If a woman wants, if a single woman wants to
- 27:15Speaker 3: have a threesome, she's going to regret it in a
- 27:17Speaker 3: couple of years.
- 27:17Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's, I'm not like, I'm just saying,
- 27:20Speaker 2: I judge you. I think you're gross.
- 27:22Speaker 3: But this is, but, but this is like going back
- 27:25Speaker 3: to what I just said. Like if you do something
- 27:29Speaker 3: as a 20 year old girl that you are going
- 27:32Speaker 3: to regret five years later, It's fine.
- 27:36Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I've done things that I regret.
- 27:38Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean. We don't have to go
- 27:40Speaker 3: back on all of our mistakes and reframe them as
- 27:44Speaker 3: this terrible thing happened to you.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Lock it out and you go, ooh, that was a mistake.
- 27:50Speaker 3: And you talk to Chad GBT about it 10 years later.
- 27:55Speaker 2: No, you don't even do that. Cause you don't want
- 27:56Speaker 2: Chad to judge you. No, I mean, listen, like I,
- 27:59Speaker 2: I have made, I've made mistakes and they're not just sexual.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Like we all have those moments where like, Ooh, that
- 28:05Speaker 2: was not my best judgment. And you just kind of
- 28:09Speaker 2: just cringe internally and move on and hope that your
- 28:12Speaker 2: husband doesn't hear about it. That's what I do. My
- 28:16Speaker 2: husband doesn't know my worst things.
- 28:18Speaker 4: Now he does.
- 28:20Speaker 2: But you have to nail them down first.
- 28:23Speaker 3: How do we get back to a society where something
- 28:27Speaker 3: like this happens and it is dealt with in a
- 28:31Speaker 3: correct way? Like, what do you think is the correct
- 28:34Speaker 3: way to deal with Cornell?
- 28:38Speaker 2: I mean, certainly not AOC standing on a stage and
- 28:43Speaker 2: making things up out of whole cloth. I think there
- 28:46Speaker 2: should be consequences for AOC lying on stage. I think
- 28:51Speaker 2: that there needs to be some lawsuits. There was a
- 28:54Speaker 2: really funny guy who also, he's Asian and he had
- 29:00Speaker 2: the same first name and first initial as one of
- 29:03Speaker 2: the Cornell Seven. And he posted a really, really funny
- 29:08Speaker 2: TikTok where people were sending him nasty LinkedIn messages saying,
- 29:13Speaker 2: accusing him of being one of the Cornell seven. And
- 29:17Speaker 2: he was like, I know that all of us Asian
- 29:19Speaker 2: people look the same to you, but I'm not. I
- 29:22Speaker 2: graduated four years before this happened. And you could have
- 29:26Speaker 2: just seen my graduation year to do that instead of
- 29:29Speaker 2: sending me nasty messages. And people followed up on it.
- 29:35Speaker 2: And he just started on LinkedIn contacting their employers with
- 29:39Speaker 2: screenshots of their messages. And, and then like their LinkedIn
- 29:43Speaker 2: disappeared or like their job disappeared off their LinkedIn or their,
- 29:48Speaker 2: their email wasn't associated with their like B Mandel at
- 29:51Speaker 2: commentary magazine anymore. Like that didn't exist anymore when he
- 29:54Speaker 2: followed up a couple of days later. So I think
- 29:57Speaker 2: that like, that's, there needs to be some consequences for
- 30:02Speaker 2: things like lying on stage for AOC and like people
- 30:05Speaker 2: harassing all of these guys who engaged in a gross
- 30:08Speaker 2: sexual encounter.
- 30:10Speaker 3: Also Doc's in Jane Doe. I mean, I don't want
- 30:12Speaker 3: to see that girl's face. That's really, it's really like.
- 30:16Speaker 2: Michael Tracy is a really gross person.
- 30:19Speaker 3: And then when people kill themselves over this, they're like, oh,
- 30:22Speaker 3: like I wonder why that happened. Like we should not
- 30:24Speaker 3: see her face. We should not know her name. We
- 30:26Speaker 3: should not know any of these guys' names. We don't
- 30:29Speaker 3: know any of this.
- 30:31Speaker 2: I don't know if I agree with you on her.
- 30:33Speaker 4: Really?
- 30:34Speaker 2: Now that I'm thinking about it, she is opting to
- 30:40Speaker 2: ruin the lives of seven men. Yeah, she opted to
- 30:45Speaker 2: ruin the lives of seven young men who she engaged
- 30:49Speaker 2: in a consensual sexual encounter with.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Ben Sass. And I'm Chris Dyer-Walt. And this
- 31:03Speaker 1: is Not Dead Yet. We're all dying, but some of
- 31:06Speaker 1: us have been brought face-to-face with that reality. However long
- 31:10Speaker 1: each of us have to do it, though, we all
- 31:12Speaker 1: want to live a good life. One with meaning, love,
- 31:15Speaker 1: and joy. And our guests are here to help us
- 31:18Speaker 1: do exactly that. Now available for download and streaming at Ricochet.com.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Ricochet.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Join the conversation.
- 31:36Speaker 3: Do you feel any sympathy for her? Because this is
- 31:41Speaker 3: where it's tricky for me because I'm like.
- 31:43Speaker 2: I just kind of want to give her a hug.
- 31:45Speaker 2: I do before she filed the suit. I feel pity
- 31:50Speaker 2: for her before she went on the offensive because she
- 31:55Speaker 2: obviously had stuff going on in her life that made
- 31:58Speaker 2: her vulnerable to needing validation in a sexual way like
- 32:03Speaker 2: that and attention in a sexual way like that. But
- 32:07Speaker 2: then she weaponized something that is... There's no take-backsies. There's
- 32:13Speaker 2: no undoing what she's doing to these young men. And
- 32:16Speaker 2: it's ruining their lives.
- 32:18Speaker 3: I do, in some ways, I do blame the wider
- 32:22Speaker 3: culture for that. Because she... For starters, she's very young.
- 32:28Speaker 3: I don't know if she knew what would have happened
- 32:30Speaker 3: from this. The blowback. The insane, insane blowback. And then secondly, like...
- 32:37Speaker 3: to even feel like this was an option to go
- 32:41Speaker 3: back after there is reams of evidence that you have
- 32:47Speaker 3: not only consented, but consented at like every step throughout.
- 32:51Speaker 3: And then only when you didn't get invited to a
- 32:53Speaker 3: Halloween party or whatever it was afterwards. And you were
- 32:56Speaker 3: kind of ostracized by people like, Oh, I know what
- 33:00Speaker 3: to do. I can go back and say that this
- 33:02Speaker 3: was not consensual and I can, get somebody like I
- 33:07Speaker 3: can take the heat off me and put it on
- 33:09Speaker 3: somebody else and I do think that that's a symptom
- 33:13Speaker 3: of like a wider thing because so many people so
- 33:17Speaker 3: many women over the past 10 years have done that
- 33:20Speaker 3: and been celebrated and launched careers from it and have
- 33:23Speaker 3: influences from it you.
- 33:25Speaker 2: Know I will say to her credit she really has
- 33:27Speaker 2: laid low yeah we don't we she's not on stage
- 33:31Speaker 2: with AOC she's not speaking out she's not on you
- 33:34Speaker 2: know she's not on tv Yeah. But at the same time,
- 33:37Speaker 2: like these guys are never going to be able to
- 33:40Speaker 2: find a job. They're never like our, and to some
- 33:43Speaker 2: extent I'm okay with the life ruining. Like I'm not
- 33:47Speaker 2: okay with them never being able to find a job
- 33:49Speaker 2: and have professional success.
- 33:51Speaker 3: That's too much.
- 33:52Speaker 2: But like if my daughter came to me and was like, yeah,
- 33:56Speaker 2: this is a guy that I'm dating and it's a
- 33:58Speaker 2: guy who was known to have engaged in this. I
- 34:01Speaker 2: would tell my daughter, like, that's not a guy who
- 34:03Speaker 2: respects women.
- 34:05Speaker 3: No, that's true. But again, I think for them, this
- 34:09Speaker 3: is what we have done with consent is so kind
- 34:15Speaker 3: of counterintuitive and so clinical and so kind of by
- 34:21Speaker 3: the letter of the law that we have taken out
- 34:24Speaker 3: any like common sense, intuition and sexiness, honestly. Like if
- 34:31Speaker 3: you were like, I remember my husband, he's probably going to,
- 34:35Speaker 3: I'll leave it at this point. But like peak woke,
- 34:38Speaker 3: he would be going out on dates with women in
- 34:40Speaker 3: New York City and he would be like, can I
- 34:42Speaker 3: touch your knee? Can I give you a kiss? You know, like,
- 34:46Speaker 3: I've never found anything less sexy in my life. This
- 34:50Speaker 3: is how.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Men act now. This is gay.
- 34:52Speaker 3: And you know what? If these boys entered into a
- 34:58Speaker 3: consensual threesome, And things kept escalating in the moment. And
- 35:03Speaker 3: every single step of the way, she was like, no,
- 35:04Speaker 3: this is fine. No, this is fine. No, this is great.
- 35:08Speaker 3: It's really hard to say that they, they're like nasty men.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Like, you know, it's nasty.
- 35:15Speaker 3: It's gross. It's gross.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Their brains have been so addled by porn that they
- 35:21Speaker 2: think this is appealing because this, this is something culturally
- 35:26Speaker 2: that I don't know how we change the narrative about
- 35:29Speaker 2: If you are a member of my family or my
- 35:31Speaker 2: husband's family, if you could please turn this off right now.
- 35:36Speaker 2: There is nothing better than married sex. It is amazing.
- 35:42Speaker 2: And it's so great because the person who you sleep
- 35:45Speaker 2: with sleeps in the bed next to you. You can
- 35:49Speaker 2: just wake the person up next to you and be like, hey,
- 35:51Speaker 2: what's up? And that's all you have to do. And
- 35:54Speaker 2: that person knows exactly what you like. They know exactly
- 35:57Speaker 2: what you don't like. It's just... Great. From start to finish,
- 36:02Speaker 2: always fantastic. You never have to leave your house. You
- 36:05Speaker 2: never have to like, you know, play the games or whatever.
- 36:09Speaker 2: You just, my husband knows when there's like this one
- 36:13Speaker 2: spot that I touch him that he's, and it's not
- 36:16Speaker 2: a sexual spot, but it's like one place. And he's like, oh,
- 36:19Speaker 2: Bethany is in. And like that, you can't replace that.
- 36:22Speaker 4: That's amazing.
- 36:23Speaker 3: It's funny though, because I feel like particularly single men,
- 36:27Speaker 3: pity married men so much for only being able to
- 36:31Speaker 3: have sex with their wives when even if you are
- 36:33Speaker 3: having a lot of sex as a single guy you
- 36:36Speaker 3: are not having as much sex as a married man
- 36:38Speaker 3: like no way even if you were scouring the apps
- 36:41Speaker 3: and going on five dates a week you know like
- 36:44Speaker 3: maybe you sleep with three of them and the sex
- 36:46Speaker 3: isn't nearly as good no because it's awkward it's weird yes.
- 36:51Speaker 2: So this is this is like what i think is
- 36:54Speaker 2: missing from the conversation and.
- 36:56Speaker 3: Jane Doe needs to get married.
- 36:57Speaker 5: Yes.
- 36:58Speaker 2: And our husbands are going to kill us for saying this,
- 37:01Speaker 2: but normal married women aren't saying these things. Normal married
- 37:05Speaker 2: men aren't saying these things because it's a violation of
- 37:07Speaker 2: your marital trust. And I would just like to remind
- 37:10Speaker 2: all of our listeners that this is a sacred place
- 37:12Speaker 2: and our husbands don't listen to this podcast. And I
- 37:16Speaker 2: would like all of you never to mention it to them.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 37:19Speaker 3: You know, My husband's rule is that he doesn't listen
- 37:23Speaker 3: to anybody's podcast that he knows because he has a
- 37:26Speaker 3: lot of friends with podcasts. And the only person he
- 37:28Speaker 3: breaks out for is Seth, Mr. Commentary.
- 37:31Speaker 2: I get annoyed by the commentary podcast a lot because
- 37:35Speaker 2: whenever he talks, I'm like, I live with that person.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Ick, ick. No, not ick.
- 37:40Speaker 2: I'm just like, I know what he thinks because I
- 37:42Speaker 2: live with him. But I want to hear more from Abe.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Abe Greenwald is who I want to hear more from.
- 37:48Speaker 2: So anyway... I highly recommend the commentary podcast, but this,
- 37:51Speaker 2: this I think is, you know, we've, we've fooled people
- 37:57Speaker 2: into thinking that like porn is sexy when actually it's
- 38:01Speaker 2: married sex. And it's so great. It's not, there's nothing
- 38:07Speaker 2: more accessible in the world. One spot, poke him right there.
- 38:13Speaker 3: Like a button. Do you, I, so I was talking
- 38:18Speaker 3: to somebody about this. Who, about Cornell. And she was
- 38:23Speaker 3: telling me about her friend who went to college and
- 38:26Speaker 3: her friend's father is like a military guy. So when
- 38:30Speaker 3: he dropped his daughter off at college halls, he just
- 38:33Speaker 3: knocked around every single door and was like, this is
- 38:37Speaker 3: my daughter. This is her name. Like she wasn't there.
- 38:39Speaker 3: She was like in a room, but he was like,
- 38:40Speaker 3: my daughter's name is this. This is what she's saying.
- 38:43Speaker 3: If anything happens to her, I will kill you. she
- 38:48Speaker 3: had a great like three years of college i love
- 38:51Speaker 3: it and i feel like we need more of this
- 38:53Speaker 3: i feel like we need more like.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Where are the dads where are the dads who are
- 38:57Speaker 2: saying you can't leave the house dressed like that.
- 38:59Speaker 3: And the brothers and the brothers see this is all linked.
- 39:04Speaker 2: No for real this is when you and i talked
- 39:06Speaker 2: beforehand i was like we're gonna talk about that and
- 39:09Speaker 2: then that and it's all the same ecosystem because it
- 39:12Speaker 2: used to be that you would be like i have
- 39:15Speaker 2: i have like almost teenage daughter and a preteen son,
- 39:19Speaker 2: like they don't, they don't want to see each other
- 39:23Speaker 2: getting in and out of the shower. They dress in
- 39:26Speaker 2: the bathroom. They undress in the bathroom. They lock the door.
- 39:29Speaker 2: You have a level of modesty around your brothers and
- 39:33Speaker 2: your father. This is interesting to me because I didn't
- 39:36Speaker 2: grow up with brothers or a father. So it's very
- 39:38Speaker 2: fascinating for me on a sociological level to watch my
- 39:42Speaker 2: daughter navigate this because I never had to. But there
- 39:46Speaker 2: is this inherent... evolutionary thing where like the brother and
- 39:52Speaker 2: the father protect you but also there's like a there's
- 39:56Speaker 2: a barrier you don't want them to see you half
- 39:58Speaker 2: naked and but there's something broken there because now these
- 40:02Speaker 2: girls are leaving their house and dad is like let
- 40:04Speaker 2: me take a picture for my instagram what are you
- 40:07Speaker 2: doing dad.
- 40:09Speaker 6: What are you doing do do you think that there's
- 40:13Speaker 6: anything specific that you have done to make your daughter
- 40:19Speaker 6: or daughters modest?
- 40:24Speaker 2: I think that we have like honest conversations about like,
- 40:28Speaker 2: this is something just for you. And like, I don't
- 40:32Speaker 2: think that there's enough of those conversations happening in, but
- 40:36Speaker 2: about everything like hard conversations, I think are happening less
- 40:40Speaker 2: and less frequently in homes where like, you know, we
- 40:44Speaker 2: talked about it. I don't know when she was nine, eight.
- 40:48Speaker 2: And I'm like, I think that that outfit over there,
- 40:52Speaker 2: and it's me being judgmental. I'm like, that's not okay.
- 40:57Speaker 2: That part of my body, only your dad sees. And
- 40:59Speaker 2: she's like, mom, oh my God. And I'm like, but
- 41:03Speaker 2: it's true. That is a sacred part of your body
- 41:05Speaker 2: that only one person should really see. And it's the
- 41:08Speaker 2: person you're currently sleeping with. Did I say that? No,
- 41:10Speaker 2: I said your husband. All right.
- 41:15Speaker 3: She'll get married at 18 now. I'm just kidding.
- 41:18Speaker 2: But I am also saying to her, like, I don't
- 41:20Speaker 2: think that you should never have sex before you get married, actually.
- 41:25Speaker 2: But that conversation happens at 12, 13. And she's deeply
- 41:29Speaker 2: uncomfortable with it. But I think, yeah, I mean, you say, like,
- 41:33Speaker 2: I don't think that's okay. I'm not comfortable seeing that.
- 41:37Speaker 2: And it was funny because we just went to Hershey
- 41:38Speaker 2: Park for Sukkot. It's a really fun Jewish holiday, the
- 41:43Speaker 2: Feast of the Tabernacles. So the Jewish community does this
- 41:46Speaker 2: really fun thing where in the intermediary days, because it's
- 41:49Speaker 2: a week-long festival, so there's beginning of it and end
- 41:53Speaker 2: of it. And then in the middle of it, you're
- 41:54Speaker 2: allowed to go out and do things or whatever. The
- 41:56Speaker 2: first days and the last days are holiday days where
- 41:59Speaker 2: you don't leave your house and all you do is
- 42:01Speaker 2: gorge yourself. And so the Jewish community... on the East
- 42:06Speaker 2: Coast will rent out Six Flags one day in Jackson,
- 42:09Speaker 2: New Jersey, and another day they rent out Hershey Park.
- 42:12Speaker 2: And so the entire thing is closed for a quote
- 42:16Speaker 2: unquote private event. And it's the Jews. And it's 99.98%
- 42:21Speaker 2: Jewish the whole time. They play Israeli music. Everything is kosher.
- 42:25Speaker 2: It's really, really wholesome and fun. And I thought about
- 42:28Speaker 2: it afterwards. And I was like, why do I have
- 42:31Speaker 2: such a like nice feeling at the end of the day,
- 42:34Speaker 2: every time we do these things? And it's, and I
- 42:36Speaker 2: realized it's because I didn't see anyone's ass hanging out
- 42:39Speaker 2: of their shorts. I didn't see it because all day long,
- 42:43Speaker 2: when I go to these things, normally I'm frustrated by
- 42:46Speaker 2: the behavior and the dress of other people who do
- 42:50Speaker 2: not respect themselves and do not respect me. And I
- 42:53Speaker 2: don't need to see that. And for a whole glorious day,
- 42:57Speaker 2: Six Flags and Hershey Park are just wholesome. And I
- 43:02Speaker 2: said that to my daughter. I was like, it was
- 43:03Speaker 2: really nice to walk around and not see anyone's ass today.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Right, right, right. Because I have so much to tell you.
- 43:09Speaker 3: So while I was in San Francisco for SlutCon, have
- 43:14Speaker 3: you ever heard of Folsom Street Fair? Folsom Street Fair?
- 43:18Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 43:18Speaker 3: Do you know what it is?
- 43:19Speaker 2: Not really, but I've heard of Folsom Street.
- 43:22Speaker 3: It's so Folsom street. It's on Folsom street, but Folsom
- 43:25Speaker 3: street fair is a yearly celebration of, I think it's BDSM.
- 43:30Speaker 3: This might, it might be something else, but it's, it's
- 43:33Speaker 3: freaky sex anyway. And wow, it was gross.
- 43:39Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 43:39Speaker 3: It's the world's largest leather BDSM and alternative sexuality street fair. Okay.
- 43:46Speaker 3: So we went at 9am I think.
- 43:49Speaker 2: That's too early for BDSM.
- 43:50Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know. Well, we were like,
- 43:53Speaker 3: we'll see them set up. I was writing a piece
- 43:55Speaker 3: on SlutCon. So I was like, oh, this will be
- 43:56Speaker 3: good color anyway, because this is what 10 miles away
- 44:00Speaker 3: from SlutCon in San Francisco. Wow, it was disgusting. Even
- 44:05Speaker 3: at 9am, they were like fat, morbidly obese men with
- 44:10Speaker 3: micro penises, dressed in leather with their bums out. One
- 44:15Speaker 3: of them had like a ball gag on with like
- 44:18Speaker 3: a dildo. I like really, really the whole thing.
- 44:23Speaker 2: The number of warnings we're going to have to put
- 44:25Speaker 2: on this episode.
- 44:26Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know. This is not one
- 44:28Speaker 3: to listen to if you have children around you.
- 44:30Speaker 2: I love how we say that at the end of
- 44:31Speaker 2: the episode.
- 44:32Speaker 3: I know, I know. We'll put a disclaimer in the thing.
- 44:34Speaker 3: And I have to say that I have been playing
- 44:38Speaker 3: devil's advocate with Cornell and SlutCon and a couple other
- 44:43Speaker 3: things just because I'm like, I think I have an
- 44:46Speaker 3: urge to just go against whatever conservatives say sometimes because
- 44:50Speaker 3: conservatives annoy me so much most of the time, even
- 44:52Speaker 3: though I took an online test the other day and
- 44:54Speaker 3: I am 97% conservative with every single view. But sometimes
- 44:59Speaker 3: I just want to be silly, so I play devil's advocate.
- 45:03Speaker 3: So I did this with Cornell and I was like, look,
- 45:05Speaker 3: if a girl wants to have a gangbang, just let
- 45:07Speaker 3: her have a gangbang, you know, it's fine, whatever. And
- 45:09Speaker 3: my conservative friend, Maddie Schultz, really, really owned me. I've
- 45:15Speaker 3: thought about it since because it's so true. And this
- 45:18Speaker 3: is the same with Folsom Street Fair as well. And
- 45:21Speaker 3: she said, Cara, I don't care if people want to
- 45:24Speaker 3: have freaky sex, but why is it that when they do,
- 45:26Speaker 3: I always have to hear about it afterwards? And it's
- 45:29Speaker 3: just true.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Because they're trying to justify it. It's like when you
- 45:34Speaker 2: keep telling people, like, I'm really happy, guys. I'm really
- 45:37Speaker 2: happy over and over and over. I'm like, really, really
- 45:40Speaker 2: happy people don't need to say it 17 times. It's
- 45:43Speaker 2: because the gross... BDSM sex they're having is bad. And
- 45:48Speaker 2: the awesome married sex that we're having is awesome. But
- 45:54Speaker 2: you don't hear married people talk about it because we
- 45:55Speaker 2: don't feel like we need to prove it to the
- 45:58Speaker 2: world because I don't need anyone to tell me I
- 46:00Speaker 2: have great sex because I know I do.
- 46:02Speaker 3: As well as that, though, I think Maddie's point was
- 46:05Speaker 3: more that a lot of them regret it afterwards.
- 46:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure. It's disgusting.
- 46:10Speaker 3: So these things often do come out, whether it's social
- 46:14Speaker 3: media or Slutcon or Cornell.
- 46:17Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 46:19Speaker 2: Bless their hearts. Everyone just go get married. It's so great. Everyone,
- 46:25Speaker 2: please don't tell my husband what we talked about in
- 46:26Speaker 2: the show. I think my husband's boss listens to this
- 46:31Speaker 2: show pretty frequently. Please don't, John. Do not tell him.
- 46:35Speaker 3: I'm going to go downstairs and he's going to be like,
- 46:36Speaker 3: what are you talking about?
- 46:37Speaker 4: Nothing.
- 46:38Speaker 3: Nothing.
- 46:40Speaker 5: Homecoming.
- 46:41Speaker 3: Homecoming dresses.
- 46:44Speaker 2: We talked about homecoming dresses. That's it. And then I'll
- 46:48Speaker 2: have sex with him so that if he does hear
- 46:50Speaker 2: about it.
- 46:51Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Stop.
- 46:53Speaker 2: Make him mad.
- 46:55Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Okay.
- 46:56Speaker 3: Cut. Cut.
- 46:57Speaker 5: Scene.
- 47:00Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to this week's episode. Don't forget to subscribe. Brian,
- 47:05Speaker 2: can you just cut everything?
- 47:06Speaker 6: No.
- 47:11Speaker 2: Until next week, guys. Saddle up. I guess now that
- 47:15Speaker 2: sounds weird and sexual. Whatever. Just don't tell our husbands. Ricochet.
- 47:32Speaker 1: Join the conversation.
