The thing is 13 00:00:41,233 --> 00:00:43,793 Speaker 2: is Meg's does not at this point ship internationally, which 14 00:00:43,833 --> 00:00:46,673 Speaker 2: seems selfish. Yeah rude, Yeah, very rude, because I want 15 00:00:46,674 --> 00:00:50,473 Speaker 2: the rose one of the things. Anyway, Erica packaged a 16 00:00:50,553 --> 00:00:54,753 Speaker 2: subsom Jam America and sent it over and Jesse has 17 00:00:54,794 --> 00:00:57,433 Speaker 2: I did subject Jesse to a taste test. I came 18 00:00:57,474 --> 00:00:59,394 Speaker 2: to find you at your desk game you've disappeared. 19 00:00:59,514 --> 00:01:00,313 Speaker 4: I left her, but I. 20 00:01:00,273 --> 00:01:05,753 Speaker 5: Will be Monday. A long way. 21 00:01:06,354 --> 00:01:09,714 Speaker 1: I'm out of here, but I will chase you down. 22 00:01:09,794 --> 00:01:11,434 Speaker 2: Because all the out louders wanted to know when I 23 00:01:11,474 --> 00:01:13,154 Speaker 2: post about it is what's it like? What's it like, 24 00:01:13,234 --> 00:01:15,514 Speaker 2: what's it like? There are two really important things you 25 00:01:15,514 --> 00:01:17,794 Speaker 2: need to know about Jam. It's not jam, I deserve. 26 00:01:18,234 --> 00:01:23,753 Speaker 2: It's not even preserve, it's spread Raspberry different. 27 00:01:23,834 --> 00:01:24,714 Speaker 4: She's got something wrong. 28 00:01:24,794 --> 00:01:28,274 Speaker 2: Well, the story goes that she says the reason it 29 00:01:28,314 --> 00:01:30,234 Speaker 2: can't be called jam is because it is a bit 30 00:01:30,354 --> 00:01:33,474 Speaker 2: lower and sugar than normal jam. It's pretty sweet to me, 31 00:01:34,194 --> 00:01:36,634 Speaker 2: because jam needs a very high sugar content to be 32 00:01:36,634 --> 00:01:39,594 Speaker 2: able to call itself jam apparently, so that's why she 33 00:01:39,634 --> 00:01:42,714 Speaker 2: calls it spread. But also it's why it's running. You 34 00:01:42,714 --> 00:01:44,194 Speaker 2: know a lot of people said when I put it 35 00:01:44,234 --> 00:01:46,314 Speaker 2: on the toast, They're like, it's running. It's not as 36 00:01:46,394 --> 00:01:49,954 Speaker 2: jammy as jam, which is sticky.

She says it didn't kind of 246 00:10:29,834 --> 00:10:34,834 Speaker 3: start until afterwards. But apparently RFK, who's thirty nine years 247 00:10:34,874 --> 00:10:38,954 Speaker 3: older than Nuzzy he's seventy one now, bragged to friends 248 00:10:38,954 --> 00:10:42,114 Speaker 3: about nude photos she had sent him, and she ended 249 00:10:42,194 --> 00:10:46,194 Speaker 3: up confirming that the relationship was personal slash digital, but 250 00:10:46,274 --> 00:10:50,114 Speaker 3: it never became physical. I thought digital meant fingery, but 251 00:10:50,274 --> 00:10:51,674 Speaker 3: digital means fine. 252 00:10:51,474 --> 00:10:53,754 Speaker 1: Not in this instance.

RFK was married too, to Cheryl Hines, who 259 00:11:13,594 --> 00:11:16,234 Speaker 3: I know from Kurby Your Enthusiasm, which confuses me. 260 00:11:16,714 --> 00:11:18,274 Speaker 5: So both of them were having affairs. 261 00:11:18,474 --> 00:11:21,954 Speaker 3: She's with Ryan Lizza, r is with Sary Heights. Anyway, 262 00:11:22,114 --> 00:11:24,554 Speaker 3: why do we care now, why's Jesse talking about it today? Well, 263 00:11:25,194 --> 00:11:28,674 Speaker 3: it was announced this month that our good friend Olivia Nuzzy, 264 00:11:28,954 --> 00:11:31,394 Speaker 3: she knows what the people want.

And she's released this excerpt, published this 266 00:11:34,754 --> 00:11:38,594 Speaker 3: excerpt in Vanity Fair, where she says RFK wanted to 267 00:11:38,594 --> 00:11:42,394 Speaker 3: impregnate her. He said things like he'd take a bullet 268 00:11:42,434 --> 00:11:44,834 Speaker 3: for her. Then goes into politics. But we all agreed, 269 00:11:44,834 --> 00:11:46,274 Speaker 3: we're not talking about politics. We don't care. 270 00:11:47,034 --> 00:11:51,914 Speaker 5: But then Ryan Liza, the ex fiance, entered the chatel. 271 00:11:51,754 --> 00:11:52,594 Speaker 4: Because they broke up. 272 00:11:52,634 --> 00:11:54,834 Speaker 2: Obviously when they all came out last year, she lost 273 00:11:54,834 --> 00:11:57,514 Speaker 2: her job, they broke up. There was a whole lot 274 00:11:57,554 --> 00:11:58,394 Speaker 2: of scandal around that. 275 00:11:58,634 --> 00:12:01,274 Speaker 3: Yeah, and now Ryan Liza's gone, you know what the 276 00:12:01,274 --> 00:12:06,274 Speaker 3: world needs my perspective.

She's just said 382 00:17:03,034 --> 00:17:05,674 Speaker 2: after it all hit, they went away to Italy. And 383 00:17:05,754 --> 00:17:07,714 Speaker 2: I think the other reason why it's really interesting is 384 00:17:07,754 --> 00:17:11,834 Speaker 2: it throws up this question that if we believe RFK Junior, 385 00:17:11,874 --> 00:17:14,874 Speaker 2: who says I met Olivia once and then she became 386 00:17:14,914 --> 00:17:17,354 Speaker 2: obsessed with me and texted me all the time, Like 387 00:17:17,394 --> 00:17:17,994 Speaker 2: we don't believe you. 388 00:17:18,794 --> 00:17:21,793 Speaker 3: Well, Lisa says she became obsessed with him, even he 389 00:17:21,994 --> 00:17:24,754 Speaker 3: the ex fiance, says yes, she developed an obsession with a. 390 00:17:25,114 --> 00:17:26,114 Speaker 1: Which I'm sure is true. 391 00:17:26,114 --> 00:17:28,394 Speaker 2: But what Nuzzi seems to be saying is that obsession 392 00:17:28,474 --> 00:17:31,834 Speaker 2: was mutual, so he was also messaging her all the time, 393 00:17:31,874 --> 00:17:33,794 Speaker 2: I love you, I love you, blah blah blah. 394 00:17:33,794 --> 00:17:35,954 Speaker 4: Also, like, how guys the obsession, it's like I just 395 00:17:35,994 --> 00:17:36,954 Speaker 4: texted you back. 396 00:17:37,874 --> 00:17:40,754 Speaker 5: You know, so obsessed with me. 397 00:17:41,354 --> 00:17:43,474 Speaker 2: But I think the thing is there is that everybody's 398 00:17:43,514 --> 00:17:46,754 Speaker 2: fascinated with Well, is it cheating if they didn't really 399 00:17:46,794 --> 00:17:50,154 Speaker 2: do anything, if they weren't really felting in person, and 400 00:17:50,274 --> 00:17:53,994 Speaker 2: like so then they talked about well, yeah, both of 401 00:17:54,034 --> 00:17:57,754 Speaker 2: them haven't really confirmed or denied that this relationship did 402 00:17:57,834 --> 00:18:00,714 Speaker 2: ever get actually physical, but it certainly seems that most 403 00:18:00,794 --> 00:18:04,834 Speaker 2: of it is on her was personal slash digital. 404 00:18:04,554 --> 00:18:07,794 Speaker 5: But Lisa says that seems improbable. He thinks that something 405 00:18:07,794 --> 00:18:08,594 Speaker 5: happened physically. 406 00:18:08,914 --> 00:18:12,714 Speaker 2: It's alleged though, that the Sanford affair was in real 407 00:18:12,754 --> 00:18:16,034 Speaker 2: life in hotel rooms. So it's like, I think it 408 00:18:16,074 --> 00:18:18,114 Speaker 2: ticks a lot of boxes for us in terms of 409 00:18:18,154 --> 00:18:21,394 Speaker 2: what we're obsessed with, and also just the idea of 410 00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:24,474 Speaker 2: these very high profiles, successful people playing with. 411 00:18:24,474 --> 00:18:27,354 Speaker 1: Fire like this because you know you're going to get 412 00:18:27,354 --> 00:18:28,314 Speaker 1: caught there. 413 00:18:28,514 --> 00:18:30,794 Speaker 2: Involves like one of my mates, Kara Swisher, who I 414 00:18:30,834 --> 00:18:32,274 Speaker 2: listened to on the Pivot podcast. 415 00:18:32,634 --> 00:18:35,034 Speaker 1: She was working with Nuzzy at the New York magazine and. 416 00:18:34,994 --> 00:18:37,114 Speaker 2: They were mates, but she was the one who dobbed 417 00:18:37,114 --> 00:18:40,313 Speaker 2: her into the bosses because Kara said, this is like 418 00:18:40,514 --> 00:18:43,874 Speaker 2: so unprofessional. She was like, you're betraying the audience. So 419 00:18:43,914 --> 00:18:47,234 Speaker 2: she went and told the bosses about Nuzzy and Rfk's 420 00:18:47,234 --> 00:18:49,234 Speaker 2: text affair, and then Nuzzy got fired. 421 00:18:49,154 --> 00:18:52,714 Speaker 3: Because the thing is too like RFK Jr. Is a 422 00:18:53,634 --> 00:18:55,994 Speaker 3: depending on where you sit politically, can be seen as 423 00:18:55,994 --> 00:18:59,754 Speaker 3: a very dangerous figure who is cutting health access for 424 00:18:59,834 --> 00:19:03,634 Speaker 3: people vaccines. He's very anti vax He's doing some really 425 00:19:03,634 --> 00:19:06,474 Speaker 3: controversial things. If you've got his number, Olivia, there are 426 00:19:06,474 --> 00:19:08,354 Speaker 3: a few other so that he can be. 427 00:19:09,234 --> 00:19:11,034 Speaker 4: Texting him about to chill out a little. 428 00:19:11,354 --> 00:19:15,354 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so you think, if these are the journalists 429 00:19:15,674 --> 00:19:19,553 Speaker 3: covering the politicians, what hope do you have? This is 430 00:19:19,554 --> 00:19:22,754 Speaker 3: what I'm interested em as someone who is coming fresh 431 00:19:22,754 --> 00:19:25,874 Speaker 3: to this story. How do you feel about Ryan Liza 432 00:19:26,154 --> 00:19:29,914 Speaker 3: deciding right now as my substack moment? Like, do you 433 00:19:30,074 --> 00:19:33,434 Speaker 3: think he gets a say? Because, in his defense, his 434 00:19:33,514 --> 00:19:36,313 Speaker 3: story has been written for him by all of these people, 435 00:19:36,434 --> 00:19:41,794 Speaker 3: and he has been shamed and embarrassed and everything. He 436 00:19:41,834 --> 00:19:46,154 Speaker 3: probably knows more of the truth of this story than most. 437 00:19:46,514 --> 00:19:48,074 Speaker 5: Do you think he gets a right of reply? 438 00:19:48,834 --> 00:19:51,593 Speaker 4: I think he gets a right of reply. However, I 439 00:19:51,634 --> 00:19:57,474 Speaker 4: don't think anyone really cares about his response to it. Yeah, 440 00:19:57,634 --> 00:19:59,634 Speaker 4: his part of the story that you just told was 441 00:19:59,714 --> 00:20:01,474 Speaker 4: just I was just like, oh, I feel so bad 442 00:20:01,474 --> 00:20:04,634 Speaker 4: for him, But I also don't really care like what 443 00:20:04,874 --> 00:20:06,313 Speaker 4: his interpretation of it. 444 00:20:06,394 --> 00:20:10,194 Speaker 3: So we don't care about his emotions. But any details welcome. 445 00:20:10,074 --> 00:20:12,514 Speaker 4: Any detail. So when like his substack, like, I would 446 00:20:12,514 --> 00:20:14,514 Speaker 4: read that whole thing absolutely because like I just want 447 00:20:14,514 --> 00:20:17,274 Speaker 4: to know about the whole situation. Yes, whether that's from 448 00:20:17,314 --> 00:20:19,674 Speaker 4: your point of view or a point of view exactly, 449 00:20:19,754 --> 00:20:21,874 Speaker 4: but I don't. I hope it feels good about doing it, 450 00:20:22,034 --> 00:20:26,194 Speaker 4: then why not for it? But also like his job. 451 00:20:26,154 --> 00:20:28,914 Speaker 2: Just to add a little muckiness to him, he was 452 00:20:28,954 --> 00:20:31,474 Speaker 2: dismissed from his job before all this in twenty seventeen 453 00:20:31,514 --> 00:20:34,513 Speaker 2: for sexual misconduct, which he always says is nothing like. 454 00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:37,114 Speaker 2: It was the height of the you know, the sort 455 00:20:37,154 --> 00:20:39,394 Speaker 2: of me tooonness of it all, and nobody ever really 456 00:20:39,474 --> 00:20:41,434 Speaker 2: explained what he'd done wrong. But so there's a little 457 00:20:41,434 --> 00:20:44,714 Speaker 2: cloud over him. So like an interpretation of this is that, 458 00:20:45,114 --> 00:20:48,114 Speaker 2: you know, he's a slightly problematic dude. He was in 459 00:20:48,154 --> 00:20:52,634 Speaker 2: this very high profile relationship with this beautiful, very ambitious 460 00:20:52,794 --> 00:20:55,674 Speaker 2: young woman who seemed to have a magical ability to 461 00:20:55,674 --> 00:20:58,754 Speaker 2: get powerful men to tell us stories, and then it 462 00:20:58,834 --> 00:21:01,634 Speaker 2: turns out that she was either sleeping or just having 463 00:21:01,674 --> 00:21:05,154 Speaker 2: lots of hot digital I'm not going to say some 464 00:21:05,234 --> 00:21:09,314 Speaker 2: of the words with them.

So here is our problem from our listener. 480 00:21:50,794 --> 00:21:53,194 Speaker 4: For the past twenty eight years, Christmas has been a 481 00:21:53,234 --> 00:21:56,794 Speaker 4: predictable ritual. My parents' host, my siblings and I arrive 482 00:21:56,834 --> 00:21:59,114 Speaker 4: with our partners and kids, and the day is a 483 00:21:59,154 --> 00:22:02,794 Speaker 4: whirl of noise, food, and familiar chaos. But this year 484 00:22:02,874 --> 00:22:06,834 Speaker 4: everything is different. My parents finalize their divorce in July. 485 00:22:07,554 --> 00:22:10,714 Speaker 4: Now instead of one home, there are two. We're not 486 00:22:10,754 --> 00:22:13,154 Speaker 4: even in December yet, and my mom has already told 487 00:22:13,154 --> 00:22:15,834 Speaker 4: me she can't bear the idea of waking up alone 488 00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:18,954 Speaker 4: on Christmas morning. My dad, who moved into a small 489 00:22:18,994 --> 00:22:22,154 Speaker 4: place across town, texted me last week saying he's planning 490 00:22:22,194 --> 00:22:24,994 Speaker 4: to make a prime rare dinner and hopes I'll be there. 491 00:22:25,034 --> 00:22:28,994 Speaker 4: Like always, They both assume I'll choose them. My sister 492 00:22:29,074 --> 00:22:31,674 Speaker 4: and her family are spending the day with Mum, and 493 00:22:31,954 --> 00:22:34,994 Speaker 4: my brother is fleeing to his in laws interstate. But 494 00:22:35,074 --> 00:22:37,074 Speaker 4: I'm the one who lives closest, and I have the 495 00:22:37,154 --> 00:22:40,194 Speaker 4: youngest kids, and somehow I become the emotional buffer of 496 00:22:40,234 --> 00:22:43,434 Speaker 4: the family. Mom has cried on the phone twice already. 497 00:22:43,794 --> 00:22:46,314 Speaker 4: My dad keeps telling me he understands if I can't come, 498 00:22:46,394 --> 00:22:48,194 Speaker 4: but the sadness in his voice makes it clear that 499 00:22:48,234 --> 00:22:51,234 Speaker 4: he doesn't really understand. My partner says that we should 500 00:22:51,234 --> 00:22:53,313 Speaker 4: make our own plans this year and step out of 501 00:22:53,314 --> 00:22:56,434 Speaker 4: the tugger wall. It sounds appealing, but I would also 502 00:22:56,474 --> 00:22:59,554 Speaker 4: feel so guilty. My kids just want Christmas the way 503 00:22:59,554 --> 00:23:01,594 Speaker 4: it used to be, and I know that's not happening. 504 00:23:01,874 --> 00:23:04,674 Speaker 4: No matter what I choose to do, someone will be hurt. 505 00:23:04,834 --> 00:23:08,794 Speaker 4: So the question is what do you do next?

I reckon, it's too early. 514 00:23:30,994 --> 00:23:32,554 Speaker 4: I think this is out of all years I need. 515 00:23:32,874 --> 00:23:36,634 Speaker 3: Yeah, if this were me, I would have my mum 516 00:23:36,834 --> 00:23:38,754 Speaker 3: stay over the night before, even if she sleeps on 517 00:23:38,794 --> 00:23:40,874 Speaker 3: the couch or something, just so that she wakes up 518 00:23:40,914 --> 00:23:43,553 Speaker 3: on Christmas. This is something with so many of my 519 00:23:43,634 --> 00:23:46,514 Speaker 3: friends with single mums. They go on Christmas. I don't 520 00:23:46,514 --> 00:23:48,354 Speaker 3: want her to wake up on her own, so she 521 00:23:48,514 --> 00:23:51,273 Speaker 3: either sleeps over or you go over there early, just 522 00:23:51,314 --> 00:23:54,394 Speaker 3: so that you get that morning that's really special. And 523 00:23:54,474 --> 00:23:56,513 Speaker 3: then I think that you make time to go and 524 00:23:56,554 --> 00:23:59,394 Speaker 3: see your dad in the evening, like it is going 525 00:23:59,474 --> 00:24:01,553 Speaker 3: to be a bit jumping all over the place.

You have to have 678 00:30:34,754 --> 00:30:35,314 Speaker 4: everything else. 679 00:30:35,354 --> 00:30:37,994 Speaker 2: So when you're saying that this is directed at men, 680 00:30:38,154 --> 00:30:43,234 Speaker 2: you mean like, literally, we are validating and pedestaling these 681 00:30:43,274 --> 00:30:46,074 Speaker 2: guys for the benefit of all the average dudes that 682 00:30:46,114 --> 00:30:48,714 Speaker 2: you like swiping on apps kind of thing, going. 683 00:30:48,554 --> 00:30:48,994 Speaker 1: This is it? 684 00:30:49,554 --> 00:30:49,954 Speaker 4: Okay? 685 00:30:49,994 --> 00:30:52,114 Speaker 2: But the problem with that, right, because I love that 686 00:30:52,194 --> 00:30:55,154 Speaker 2: interpretation now and I reckon you're right, is like women 687 00:30:55,194 --> 00:30:57,834 Speaker 2: have always been objectified like this. You know, think about 688 00:30:57,874 --> 00:30:59,434 Speaker 2: how many times you see a woman on the cover 689 00:30:59,474 --> 00:31:01,794 Speaker 2: of a magazine and she's not wearing any clothes, a 690 00:31:01,874 --> 00:31:04,354 Speaker 2: gaggle of women not wearing any clothes, the Sydney Swing 691 00:31:04,394 --> 00:31:04,994 Speaker 2: Eve or whatever. 692 00:31:05,434 --> 00:31:07,394 Speaker 1: And we don't like that. We don't like that. 693 00:31:07,514 --> 00:31:09,914 Speaker 2: We've discussed a lot the messages out there that that 694 00:31:09,994 --> 00:31:11,674 Speaker 2: kind of objectification is a bit ick. 695 00:31:11,794 --> 00:31:14,754 Speaker 1: We don't really want to hear guys like going, ooh, 696 00:31:14,954 --> 00:31:17,354 Speaker 1: she's so hot, Like, we don't really like that. 697 00:31:17,994 --> 00:31:20,554 Speaker 2: And it's interesting because one of the best selling books 698 00:31:20,554 --> 00:31:23,954 Speaker 2: in the world right now is Scott Galloway's book about Notes. 699 00:31:23,674 --> 00:31:24,354 Speaker 1: On Being a Man. 700 00:31:24,754 --> 00:31:27,234 Speaker 2: You know, there's problems with that whatever, but one of 701 00:31:27,234 --> 00:31:30,834 Speaker 2: his arguments in that book is that we've demonized male horniness. 702 00:31:30,834 --> 00:31:34,594 Speaker 2: We've made it something dangerous into something to be suppressed, 703 00:31:35,194 --> 00:31:37,314 Speaker 2: and he's saying we shouldn't always do that because it's 704 00:31:37,354 --> 00:31:39,874 Speaker 2: an engine, Like, it's a motivator, and it can be 705 00:31:39,914 --> 00:31:42,314 Speaker 2: really good at making men like get out in the world. 706 00:31:42,314 --> 00:31:43,554 Speaker 1: And do things. That's his argument. 707 00:31:43,594 --> 00:31:45,914 Speaker 2: I'm not saying I necessarily agree, but it feels a 708 00:31:45,994 --> 00:31:49,874 Speaker 2: little bit like mainstream culture where like suppressing male horniness 709 00:31:49,994 --> 00:31:52,354 Speaker 2: and valorizing female horniness. 710 00:31:53,234 --> 00:31:54,234 Speaker 1: I quite like it. 711 00:31:54,434 --> 00:31:58,754 Speaker 3: I like it because, let's be honest, female horniness isn't dangerous, 712 00:31:58,994 --> 00:32:01,634 Speaker 3: right like, and I think that that's it, not that 713 00:32:01,754 --> 00:32:03,074 Speaker 3: all male horniness is. 714 00:32:03,514 --> 00:32:05,354 Speaker 1: But it has a dangerous edge. It has a. 715 00:32:05,354 --> 00:32:07,594 Speaker 3: Dangerous edge when you think about sexual violence and you 716 00:32:07,594 --> 00:32:10,194 Speaker 3: think about domestic violence, which are two things that we 717 00:32:10,514 --> 00:32:14,314 Speaker 3: talk about increasingly, and we know that the rates are high. 718 00:32:14,314 --> 00:32:16,874 Speaker 3: A lot of women have experienced it, and so there's 719 00:32:16,914 --> 00:32:24,234 Speaker 3: something subversive about women being vocally like thirsty, and it 720 00:32:24,314 --> 00:32:26,994 Speaker 3: doesn't feel like it's got that sinister side. 721 00:32:27,154 --> 00:32:30,554 Speaker 2: I agree, But I think to your point earlier about 722 00:32:30,634 --> 00:32:32,834 Speaker 2: are we responding to the culture? Has there always been there? 723 00:32:32,874 --> 00:32:35,314 Speaker 2: I think it's always been there because have you ever 724 00:32:35,354 --> 00:32:37,194 Speaker 2: been and I haven't for a very long time. But 725 00:32:37,234 --> 00:32:38,754 Speaker 2: in my twenties, and that was a long time ago, 726 00:32:39,154 --> 00:32:42,234 Speaker 2: I was writing a story about male strip groups, yep, 727 00:32:42,314 --> 00:32:44,954 Speaker 2: and I went to like a manpower concert in London. 728 00:32:45,274 --> 00:32:47,914 Speaker 2: You have never seen a hornier group of people than 729 00:32:47,954 --> 00:32:49,194 Speaker 2: a lot of women, remember, the. 730 00:32:49,354 --> 00:32:49,994 Speaker 1: What do you call life? 731 00:32:50,034 --> 00:32:52,354 Speaker 5: I went to the Magic Life. I went to one. 732 00:32:52,434 --> 00:32:56,114 Speaker 5: It was like in a circus tent. It was so sexy. Yeah, 733 00:32:56,154 --> 00:32:57,714 Speaker 5: it was so hot. 734 00:32:57,834 --> 00:33:00,194 Speaker 3: I was so into it. It was very cool. I 735 00:33:00,314 --> 00:33:02,434 Speaker 3: followed one of them on Instagram. He still pops in. 736 00:33:02,474 --> 00:33:04,274 Speaker 3: He's got a lovely girlfriend. 737 00:33:04,114 --> 00:33:06,994 Speaker 2: But a horde of women particularly maybe they've been on 738 00:33:07,234 --> 00:33:10,954 Speaker 2: bitch diesel. Like there is something quite scary about that. 739 00:33:11,074 --> 00:33:14,514 Speaker 2: Not scary in the way that male salivating. 740 00:33:14,514 --> 00:33:16,714 Speaker 1: It's there. But the thing is is I think that 741 00:33:16,714 --> 00:33:18,474 Speaker 1: that used to be kind of mocked. 742 00:33:18,194 --> 00:33:22,354 Speaker 2: A bit, like that level of undisguised female sexual desire 743 00:33:22,474 --> 00:33:25,354 Speaker 2: is like a bit tragic. And I feel like maybe 744 00:33:25,354 --> 00:33:28,634 Speaker 2: what's shifted in the culture is it's not seen as 745 00:33:28,714 --> 00:33:31,514 Speaker 2: tragic now, it's seen to be something to be celebrated. 746 00:33:31,874 --> 00:33:34,194 Speaker 2: And to what you were saying, Jesse about at different 747 00:33:34,194 --> 00:33:35,554 Speaker 2: stages in your life. 748 00:33:36,114 --> 00:33:36,674 Speaker 4: Because I was. 749 00:33:36,634 --> 00:33:38,514 Speaker 1: Reading this big piece in the New. 750 00:33:38,474 --> 00:33:42,154 Speaker 2: York Times about how a pill for female libido is 751 00:33:42,194 --> 00:33:45,074 Speaker 2: supposed to be coming back. It's been pushed around and 752 00:33:45,074 --> 00:33:46,874 Speaker 2: pushed off the shells for a long time, with all 753 00:33:46,914 --> 00:33:49,714 Speaker 2: this discussion about whether or not women really want it. 754 00:33:49,834 --> 00:33:50,994 Speaker 1: Da da da da da. 755 00:33:51,114 --> 00:33:54,034 Speaker 2: The article was an interview with this woman called Sandieka right, 756 00:33:54,034 --> 00:33:56,114 Speaker 2: and she's an American works in the health space, and 757 00:33:56,154 --> 00:33:59,594 Speaker 2: she and her company had invented a pill a while 758 00:33:59,634 --> 00:34:02,554 Speaker 2: ago that was supposed to deal with women's flagging libido. Now, 759 00:34:02,554 --> 00:34:04,474 Speaker 2: I'm not going to go into too much detail about 760 00:34:04,514 --> 00:34:08,634 Speaker 2: the pill because obviously it's not approved or available in Australia. 761 00:34:08,674 --> 00:34:11,274 Speaker 2: They're giving it the nickname of female viagra, but that's 762 00:34:11,314 --> 00:34:13,953 Speaker 2: not what it's called. But back to Cindy, she's been 763 00:34:13,994 --> 00:34:16,514 Speaker 2: trying to get this pill on the mainstream market for 764 00:34:16,594 --> 00:34:19,314 Speaker 2: decades and she's come up against all these barriers that 765 00:34:19,394 --> 00:34:22,354 Speaker 2: don't all seem to actually be medical, but more cultural 766 00:34:22,834 --> 00:34:25,194 Speaker 2: than then, as The New York Times wrote, as women 767 00:34:25,314 --> 00:34:29,034 Speaker 2: binge read copies of all fours, as you've said, devour 768 00:34:29,114 --> 00:34:31,154 Speaker 2: stories about gen x women having the best sex of 769 00:34:31,154 --> 00:34:33,754 Speaker 2: their life. Women of all ages are prioritizing their own 770 00:34:33,834 --> 00:34:37,634 Speaker 2: sex lives. So we played the long game, Ekert says, 771 00:34:37,794 --> 00:34:42,354 Speaker 2: and culture caught up. So it's like women are saying 772 00:34:42,434 --> 00:34:46,194 Speaker 2: that in the way that we're allowed to be sexual 773 00:34:46,234 --> 00:34:48,834 Speaker 2: beings at some parts of our lives, ideally while we're 774 00:34:48,834 --> 00:34:50,274 Speaker 2: young and hot in our twenties. 775 00:34:50,554 --> 00:34:52,114 Speaker 1: When they become mothers. We don't like it. 776 00:34:52,194 --> 00:34:54,473 Speaker 2: We don't like it when women are too sexy when 777 00:34:54,474 --> 00:34:58,194 Speaker 2: they're moms, and then when we become older, we don't 778 00:34:58,314 --> 00:35:00,874 Speaker 2: like it either because we're like, surely you're all dried 779 00:35:00,954 --> 00:35:03,154 Speaker 2: up now and not really interested in this stuff anymore. 780 00:35:03,154 --> 00:35:05,074 Speaker 2: And I think that as women have more of a voice, 781 00:35:05,114 --> 00:35:07,634 Speaker 2: we're going, y, yes, we are. 782 00:35:07,914 --> 00:35:11,674 Speaker 3: Yeah, And we've accepted that women's lives have natural ebbs 783 00:35:11,714 --> 00:35:14,194 Speaker 3: and flows when it comes to sexual desire, and it's like, oh, 784 00:35:14,274 --> 00:35:17,674 Speaker 3: during motherhood and menopause and da da da pressure. I 785 00:35:17,674 --> 00:35:20,033 Speaker 3: think that it can, but it's just interesting that we've 786 00:35:20,074 --> 00:35:23,954 Speaker 3: never accepted that with men, like virility and sexual desire 787 00:35:24,114 --> 00:35:26,794 Speaker 3: is critical. It's like from the day I don't know 788 00:35:26,834 --> 00:35:29,553 Speaker 3: your voice drops or whatever to the day you die 789 00:35:29,714 --> 00:35:32,394 Speaker 3: as a man, you should be wanting it all the time. 790 00:35:32,594 --> 00:35:32,834 Speaker 1: Yeah. 791 00:35:32,834 --> 00:35:35,194 Speaker 2: And what I was saying before about Galloway's point where 792 00:35:35,194 --> 00:35:37,754 Speaker 2: he says it's like an engine, his thing was is 793 00:35:37,754 --> 00:35:40,634 Speaker 2: he said that horniness is like fire. It can be 794 00:35:40,754 --> 00:35:43,794 Speaker 2: dangerous to your point before Jesse, or it can be 795 00:35:43,874 --> 00:35:48,034 Speaker 2: harnessed to be a great like energized, and we sort 796 00:35:48,074 --> 00:35:50,274 Speaker 2: of go, oh, yeah, guys are like that, But women 797 00:35:50,354 --> 00:35:51,354 Speaker 2: can be like that too. 798 00:35:51,594 --> 00:35:54,154 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think with women's horniness, the difference is 799 00:35:54,954 --> 00:35:57,873 Speaker 4: is that men's horniness just sticks on the surface level, 800 00:35:57,914 --> 00:36:00,674 Speaker 4: whereas like women's runs a bit deeper. Like I know 801 00:36:00,794 --> 00:36:02,874 Speaker 4: so like so many of my guy friends are obsessed 802 00:36:02,914 --> 00:36:05,674 Speaker 4: with you a Liba just because she's hot. Yeah, Like 803 00:36:05,874 --> 00:36:07,594 Speaker 4: they might like a music, but there's no way they 804 00:36:07,674 --> 00:36:09,953 Speaker 4: know that she has a podcast or club or she's 805 00:36:09,994 --> 00:36:12,993 Speaker 4: like an activist. Was like women, we see like if 806 00:36:13,034 --> 00:36:15,794 Speaker 4: my biggest crash was poor Mescal, I'm like watching everything 807 00:36:15,834 --> 00:36:18,634 Speaker 4: he's in. I'm reading every interview he does, even like 808 00:36:18,674 --> 00:36:21,473 Speaker 4: the Magic Mic Show. When I went, the number one 809 00:36:21,554 --> 00:36:24,594 Speaker 4: rule we were told was you can't touch the dancers. No, 810 00:36:24,994 --> 00:36:26,714 Speaker 4: certainly not, and no dancers were touched. 811 00:36:27,154 --> 00:36:28,234 Speaker 5: So women get it. 812 00:36:28,394 --> 00:36:29,154 Speaker 1: Women get it. 813 00:36:29,194 --> 00:36:31,634 Speaker 2: To the argument about whether or not it's pressure to go, well, 814 00:36:31,634 --> 00:36:34,994 Speaker 2: now you have to be horny all the time, postpartum, 815 00:36:35,034 --> 00:36:38,714 Speaker 2: post menopause, post everything, what's your excuse? Like horny, Horney, horny. 816 00:36:39,074 --> 00:36:43,234 Speaker 2: That can definitely be pressure. But also if your sexuality 817 00:36:43,394 --> 00:36:46,034 Speaker 2: was quite an important part of your identity and then 818 00:36:46,234 --> 00:36:49,913 Speaker 2: you lose it, it can be really challenging. Like it's 819 00:36:49,914 --> 00:36:52,514 Speaker 2: not that you necessarily feel that external pressure but you 820 00:36:52,554 --> 00:36:54,114 Speaker 2: can be like that used to be a big part 821 00:36:54,114 --> 00:36:57,714 Speaker 2: of who I was, and suddenly I couldn't think of anything. 822 00:36:57,754 --> 00:36:59,953 Speaker 2: I'd rather have a cup of tea, the famous quote, 823 00:36:59,954 --> 00:37:01,674 Speaker 2: it's like, I'd rather have a cup of tea. And 824 00:37:01,714 --> 00:37:05,354 Speaker 2: so I think the idea of being able to turn 825 00:37:05,394 --> 00:37:09,114 Speaker 2: that on if you could, if you want to, not 826 00:37:09,274 --> 00:37:11,314 Speaker 2: under pressure from somebody else to do it. 827 00:37:11,354 --> 00:37:14,634 Speaker 3: And that was also masking things like the fact that 828 00:37:15,194 --> 00:37:17,714 Speaker 3: women weren't getting the support they needed after birth, that 829 00:37:17,794 --> 00:37:21,354 Speaker 3: painful sex was totally normalized, that sexual dysfunction was just 830 00:37:21,434 --> 00:37:23,953 Speaker 3: part of being a woman, that there was no such 831 00:37:23,994 --> 00:37:26,274 Speaker 3: thing as pelvic floor physios, that kind of stuff. And 832 00:37:26,314 --> 00:37:29,754 Speaker 3: now I think that there's been this injection into women's 833 00:37:29,794 --> 00:37:33,074 Speaker 3: health and also a focus on like it is a 834 00:37:33,114 --> 00:37:35,433 Speaker 3: health issue, like if you're having painful sex, or if 835 00:37:36,154 --> 00:37:38,354 Speaker 3: whatever it is, you deserve to have that part of 836 00:37:38,394 --> 00:37:39,954 Speaker 3: your life, if you want it. 837 00:37:40,154 --> 00:37:43,194 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love your point that we think that all 838 00:37:43,274 --> 00:37:46,234 Speaker 2: these guys on the Vanity Fair cover would definitely bring 839 00:37:46,354 --> 00:37:47,154 Speaker 2: us a cup of tea. 840 00:37:47,034 --> 00:37:51,634 Speaker 1: And would they would?

Something's happened and I 861 00:38:58,754 --> 00:38:59,554 Speaker 3: don't know what's happened. 862 00:38:59,554 --> 00:39:01,393 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to break it down for everyone. Even 863 00:39:01,434 --> 00:39:03,194 Speaker 4: if you don't watch F one, I'm going to tell 864 00:39:03,194 --> 00:39:05,114 Speaker 4: you why I need to watch this race. Okay.

And there's just it's so fascinating. 995 00:45:24,554 --> 00:45:27,074 Speaker 2: It takes all these different looks at the case. If 996 00:45:27,114 --> 00:45:29,914 Speaker 2: you ever read any of Helen Ghana's crime books, oh yeah, 997 00:45:29,954 --> 00:45:33,234 Speaker 2: so she wrote particularly an amazing one called This House 998 00:45:33,274 --> 00:45:35,674 Speaker 2: of Grief, which full circle. 999 00:45:36,034 --> 00:45:38,194 Speaker 4: Your mate Jua Leipa has. 1000 00:45:37,994 --> 00:45:40,674 Speaker 2: Given a whole new lease of life too, because she 1001 00:45:40,794 --> 00:45:42,834 Speaker 2: loved this book so much that she had Helen Ganner 1002 00:45:42,834 --> 00:45:45,433 Speaker 2: on her podcast. Now Helen Garner and Juwa Liipa on 1003 00:45:45,474 --> 00:45:48,794 Speaker 2: a podcast talking about a book about a murder that 1004 00:45:48,834 --> 00:45:51,354 Speaker 2: happened in regional Victoria back in two thousand and five 1005 00:45:51,434 --> 00:45:53,074 Speaker 2: or something. It is not something that many of us 1006 00:45:53,074 --> 00:45:55,234 Speaker 2: had on a bingo kada, but it happened. So Helen 1007 00:45:55,274 --> 00:45:59,274 Speaker 2: Garner is now like worldwide level famous for the most 1008 00:45:59,434 --> 00:46:02,394 Speaker 2: beautiful writing about real life trials and crimes. 1009 00:46:02,474 --> 00:46:02,634 Speaker 1: Right. 1010 00:46:02,714 --> 00:46:05,994 Speaker 2: She brings so much humanity and intellect to it. Anyway, 1011 00:46:06,194 --> 00:46:08,393 Speaker 2: everyone knew that Helena was in the courtroom when Aaron 1012 00:46:08,434 --> 00:46:10,714 Speaker 2: Pattinson's case is going on, and they were all like, Oh, 1013 00:46:10,714 --> 00:46:12,714 Speaker 2: she's gonna write ano book. She's going to write another book. 1014 00:46:13,114 --> 00:46:15,873 Speaker 2: But Helen Ghana says that she's too old to write 1015 00:46:15,874 --> 00:46:18,433 Speaker 2: another big book, old dereckon she is eighty three. 1016 00:46:19,034 --> 00:46:19,754 Speaker 4: Wow. 1017 00:46:21,074 --> 00:46:23,754 Speaker 2: She says this very explicitly in the book. She says, 1018 00:46:23,794 --> 00:46:26,034 Speaker 2: I'm coming to the end of my life and my 1019 00:46:26,114 --> 00:46:28,194 Speaker 2: professional life, and I don't think I've got that heavy 1020 00:46:28,234 --> 00:46:32,634 Speaker 2: lift in me. But Chloe Hooper and Sarah Krasnerstein they 1021 00:46:32,754 --> 00:46:34,674 Speaker 2: kind of got together and decided they'd do it together. 1022 00:46:34,714 --> 00:46:37,474 Speaker 2: And what they've done is they basically drove down to 1023 00:46:37,514 --> 00:46:39,554 Speaker 2: the court as many times as they could and stayed 1024 00:46:39,594 --> 00:46:41,634 Speaker 2: down there and did all these things and recorded all 1025 00:46:41,634 --> 00:46:45,354 Speaker 2: their conversations and have turned their conversations into a book. 1026 00:46:45,474 --> 00:46:47,634 Speaker 3: So are you listening to it? Almost like you'd listened. 1027 00:46:47,394 --> 00:46:48,034 Speaker 4: To a podcast. 1028 00:46:48,114 --> 00:46:50,274 Speaker 2: So I'm listening to the audiobook so you can buy 1029 00:46:50,354 --> 00:46:52,034 Speaker 2: this book. When it came out, everybody was. 1030 00:46:51,994 --> 00:46:53,914 Speaker 1: Like the cover, like it's so plain. 1031 00:46:53,994 --> 00:46:56,274 Speaker 2: It's just literally green with the Mushroom Trials on it 1032 00:46:56,274 --> 00:47:00,674 Speaker 2: and their names. But it's a very deliberately low fi release, 1033 00:47:01,554 --> 00:47:03,554 Speaker 2: and they've been doing lots of events talking about it 1034 00:47:03,554 --> 00:47:06,154 Speaker 2: and stuff. But I'm listening to it, and as an 1035 00:47:06,194 --> 00:47:10,914 Speaker 2: audio book, it's extraordinarily satisfying because it's their voices parts 1036 00:47:10,954 --> 00:47:13,834 Speaker 2: of it like a phone call. There's a narrator who 1037 00:47:13,874 --> 00:47:16,674 Speaker 2: weaves it all together with sort of details of the trial. 1038 00:47:17,394 --> 00:47:19,514 Speaker 2: And this is a story that obviously we all know 1039 00:47:20,034 --> 00:47:25,473 Speaker 2: very well, but listening to these three brain breakingly intelligent 1040 00:47:25,634 --> 00:47:30,274 Speaker 2: women talking about it is like it wigging on really 1041 00:47:30,314 --> 00:47:33,834 Speaker 2: smart friends. And they have such interesting takes on it, 1042 00:47:33,914 --> 00:47:38,034 Speaker 2: Like Ghana is very interested in the marriage and how 1043 00:47:38,434 --> 00:47:41,594 Speaker 2: ordinary that breakdown was, and the anger and the rage 1044 00:47:41,594 --> 00:47:44,474 Speaker 2: that you feel in those kind of situations. There's a 1045 00:47:44,474 --> 00:47:46,594 Speaker 2: lot of grace paid to the victims and what kind 1046 00:47:46,634 --> 00:47:48,154 Speaker 2: of people they were. 1047 00:47:48,274 --> 00:47:50,314 Speaker 1: It's just an amazing book. 1048 00:47:50,354 --> 00:47:53,634 Speaker 2: And they also talk, which is really interesting, about what 1049 00:47:53,674 --> 00:47:55,714 Speaker 2: it was like to be part of that scrum. Because 1050 00:47:55,714 --> 00:47:59,114 Speaker 2: although Ghana loves court cases and she's covered millions of them, 1051 00:47:59,394 --> 00:48:02,274 Speaker 2: not millions, but lots of them, she's never been in 1052 00:48:02,274 --> 00:48:05,074 Speaker 2: one way. You've got this massive international media and as 1053 00:48:05,114 --> 00:48:09,194 Speaker 2: they say, like nine podcasters, fourteen different and they are 1054 00:48:09,314 --> 00:48:12,953 Speaker 2: kind of repelled by the interest in it as much 1055 00:48:12,994 --> 00:48:16,354 Speaker 2: as they're then like exploring their own position and all that. 1056 00:48:16,474 --> 00:48:18,554 Speaker 1: So it's very it's kind of meta. 1057 00:48:18,594 --> 00:48:21,234 Speaker 5: Anyway I'm going to listen is so good, and it's 1058 00:48:21,274 --> 00:48:22,194 Speaker 5: their voices. 1059 00:48:21,874 --> 00:48:23,634 Speaker 2: It's them telling you. It's all I want to listen to. 1060 00:48:23,714 --> 00:48:26,034 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a true crime story on one level, 1061 00:48:26,034 --> 00:48:28,474 Speaker 2: but listening to these women talk about it is a 1062 00:48:28,514 --> 00:48:32,073 Speaker 2: whole other thing. Yeah, And I can't recommend it highly enough. 1063 00:48:32,434 --> 00:48:35,154 Speaker 2: The book book is out, but the audiobook is special. 1064 00:48:35,594 --> 00:48:39,913 Speaker 3: I have two quick recommendations. The first is a New 1065 00:48:39,994 --> 00:48:44,474 Speaker 3: Yorker article that I read over the weekend. Have you 1066 00:48:44,514 --> 00:48:48,754 Speaker 3: read Tatyana Schlosberg's essay about her terminal counts diagnosed? 1067 00:48:48,794 --> 00:48:50,314 Speaker 2: So I have because you send it to me, and 1068 00:48:50,354 --> 00:48:52,234 Speaker 2: it is absolutely devastating. 1069 00:48:52,474 --> 00:48:54,674 Speaker 5: It is so heartbreaking. 1070 00:48:55,194 --> 00:48:58,314 Speaker 3: She is thirty five and a year ago, following the 1071 00:48:58,754 --> 00:49:00,994 Speaker 3: birth of her second child, she was diagnosed with a 1072 00:49:01,074 --> 00:49:05,594 Speaker 3: rare form of lakemia that is terminal. And it is 1073 00:49:05,754 --> 00:49:11,674 Speaker 3: just a stunning meditation on life and death and how 1074 00:49:11,714 --> 00:49:15,674 Speaker 3: desperately she still wants to be here. And she is 1075 00:49:15,874 --> 00:49:20,514 Speaker 3: the cousin of RFK Junior, who is trying to slash 1076 00:49:20,634 --> 00:49:25,074 Speaker 3: lots of money to vaccine funding, which will directly impact her. 1077 00:49:25,634 --> 00:49:28,393 Speaker 3: So she has some really interesting things to say about that. 1078 00:49:28,594 --> 00:49:29,434 Speaker 5: But you'll cry. 1079 00:49:29,834 --> 00:49:32,634 Speaker 3: But it's also just a reminder that life is precious 1080 00:49:32,674 --> 00:49:35,314 Speaker 3: and sometimes we need that. And then to show you 1081 00:49:35,434 --> 00:49:37,954 Speaker 3: up the hair brush. The out louders have been asking, 1082 00:49:38,114 --> 00:49:39,993 Speaker 3: I tease this a few weeks ago.
