For many years now, 193 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 3: we have all been agonizing over the fertility crisis. Why 194 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 3: aren't the kids having kids. It's become some sort of 195 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: parlor game, the swapping of the various theories. Is it 196 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: the cost of living micro plastics. By the way, there 197 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 3: was a great story, and I think yesterday or day 198 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: before in the Wall Street Journal about how all of 199 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: this fear mongering over microplastics. 200 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 4: Once again, it's. 201 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 3: A great example of how one story one study that oh, 202 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 3: this just don't peer review. It's because the study fits 203 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: what the grant was. You know, the grant said, prove 204 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: to us that microplastics are getting into our bodies everywhere, 205 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 3: so we can start, you know, dissing on microplastics, and 206 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: so that becomes the narrative. Wall Street Journal is a 207 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: story that says, oh, even the people who did the 208 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: study admit that their methodology is questionable. So microplastics may 209 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: not be a big deal. Now some of you may 210 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 3: believe that it is. But I'm just telling you there's 211 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 3: an alternate universe out there that says you couldn't be 212 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 3: shouldn't be quite so nervous about it. But then I wonder, microplastics, 213 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: what does that, What does that have to do with 214 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 3: kids today having sex? I get the cost of living 215 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 3: because you're afraid that if you do it too many times, 216 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: you know you might end up, you know, pregnant. Now, 217 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: I don't know whether the man will be pregnant or 218 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 3: the female be pregnant. The male or the female, but 219 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 3: one of you might end up pregnant. And in today's 220 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 3: affordability crisis, that you know that. I also heard dumb 221 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 3: mass governor say I was going to solve that. Well, 222 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 3: that was worthless, wasn't it. Eco anxiety? Yes, that's a 223 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 3: real thing. I know people who have eco anxiety or 224 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 3: tight underwear. Tight underwear might be why they're not having sex. 225 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 3: But I discovered that there is now a more fundament 226 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 3: a really fundamental explanation for the baby shortage, because you know, 227 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 3: we really do we're not producing enough kids. We're not 228 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 3: we're not replacing ourselves, and the boomers are dying off. 229 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 3: There is another story that says that the generation behind 230 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 3: me is set to over the next say ten years, 231 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 3: to inherit trillions of dollars in real estate. I'm thinking, nope, 232 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: my kids aren't. I'm going to sell that sucker before 233 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 3: they can get their hands on that money. I'm selling 234 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 3: that baby. Frank Drahm's going to sell it for me 235 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 3: by the way. The Atlantic had an article and it 236 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 3: examined the trend among young Americans. It's really a pretty 237 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 3: good piece. It's in the Atlantic magazine. You ought to 238 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 3: go read it. They gave a name to this phenomenon, 239 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: the Great Sex Recession. Just before Christmas, they did a 240 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 3: survey of young Britons. Now, I don't know what whether 241 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: the British are more sex incline or less sex incline. 242 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: It revealed that the proportion of eighteen to twenty four 243 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: year olds that are having sex has declined dramatically. Now, 244 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 3: what do you think, dragon, Let's go back to October 245 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 3: of twenty nineteen, seven years ago. What do you think 246 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: the percentage of eighteen to twenty twenty four year old 247 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 3: kids in October of twenty nineteen was doing the deed? 248 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: All of them? 249 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 3: Why, that's why this is obviously like because it says 250 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: sixty seven percent. 251 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: That's ps right there, all right, all of them, right, 252 00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: all of them. 253 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 3: But as a no, this past November it had dropped 254 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: to forty three percent. 255 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: Wait, what was there study to be fifty something sixty something? 256 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 5: You said, yeah, the first yeah, it was sixty seven percent, 257 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 5: sixty something to forty something. 258 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, sixty seven to forty three, twenty four, twenty four 259 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: percent drop in six years. 260 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: I would believe let's. 261 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 3: Say what, let's say the ratio. Let's say to your point, 262 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 3: it was one hundred, yeah, but now it's dropped down 263 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: to seventy six. 264 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 5: I would lean towards that. Yeah, But either way, that's 265 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 5: still dramatic, still drop. That's a huge drop of people 266 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 5: that are do they not know how fun sex is? 267 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 5: But what's wrong with these people?

I don't. I just thought sex was fine. 271 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 4: I didn't realize it. 272 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 5: I got that a lot when I was a kid. 273 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 5: When I was a kid, I was sixteen and eighteen 274 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 5: and twenty eleven. What when when my kids were born? 275 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 5: And then why'd you have a second kid?

But you 346 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 3: can't even get it in the truck stop. That's pretty bad. 347 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 3: I to be a little serious about this whole topic, 348 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 3: which how can you be? How can Dragon I be 349 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: serious when we're talking about sex? Right, we're still fourteen 350 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 3: or fifteen. I don't know, We're still at least post puberty, 351 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 3: I think now. I'm not sure anybody that grew up say, 352 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 3: I don't know prior to two thousand, do you really 353 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 3: have any idea of the extent to which the rules 354 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 3: of dating have changed now? I haven't dated obviously in decades. 355 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 3: Don't really want to go date. I've often said to 356 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 3: some of my friends, who are you know? They view 357 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 3: the gotten divorced and never gotten married, and they date, 358 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 3: and I'm like, how, how do you like? How do 359 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 3: you do it today? 360 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 4: Not it but the date? The dating? How do you 361 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 4: do the dating? I assume they know how to do it, 362 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 4: but maybe I should check. I don't know. You think 363 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 4: about this? 364 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 3: How much of just what was ordinary courting or flirting 365 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 3: for thousands of years is now just beyond the pale. 366 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 3: It's just not acceptable anymore so. The author of this 367 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 3: Atlantic piece interviewed a young American man, guy named Simon. 368 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 3: Now he fancied a girl that he played volleyball with. 369 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: After several depressing and unproductive years on the dating apps, 370 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 3: he considered now to think about this. After years on 371 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 3: the dating apps, he thought about asking this real live 372 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 3: girl out, but ultimately concluded that it would be incredibly awkward, 373 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 3: if not outright borish, So the author writes this. At 374 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 3: first I wondered whether Simon was being overleaved, genteel or 375 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 3: a little paranoid. But the more people I talked with 376 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 3: this is the author talking, the more I came to 377 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 3: believe that he was simply describing an emerging cultural reality. 378 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: Quote. 379 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 4: No one approaches. 380 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 3: Anyone in public anymore, said a teacher in northern Virginia. 381 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 3: The dating landscape has changed, no feasis, Sherlock. Really, I 382 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: can't even imagine trying. 383 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 4: To do it today. Yeah, dirty, old man, what are 384 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 4: you doing? What do you mean you're looking at me? 385 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 3: According to a poll in The Economist, seventeen percent of 386 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 3: Americans ages eighteen to twenty nine now believe they believe 387 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 3: they don't think. 388 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 4: They believe that a man inviting a woman. 389 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 3: Out for a drink always or usually constitutes sexual harassment. 390 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: What is wrong with us? 391 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you you know, inviting a man 392 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: inviting a woman out for a drink? How do you 393 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 3: do it's a man? How do you know it's a woman. 394 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 3: How do you know what you're getting and besides me, 395 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 3: maybe really all you want to do is just socialize 396 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 3: and go have a drink with the Oh. 397 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 4: Can I Dragon? Can can you say opposite sex? Is 398 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 4: that permissible? Okay? Dragon is shaking this hand. Yeah, okay, 399 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 4: so it so. 400 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 3: Opposite sex, or or maybe it's not opposite, but it's 401 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 3: sort of opposite. Maybe it's kind of opposite, but they 402 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 3: think that's sexual harassment. I find my I'm a really 403 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 3: touchy person unless it comes to Dragon, which I just 404 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 3: don't get the germs. But I tend to like like 405 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 3: put my my hand on someone's uh, forearm or you know, 406 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 3: I'll touch them or on their shoulder, and I find 407 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 3: myself more and more being like truthfully scared to do so. 408 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 3: I just it's really weird that this is the environment 409 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: that we've created. We've created an environment where Simon is 410 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 3: just like, Okay, I'm gonna try the apps first, and 411 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 3: then when I think about, actually there's a girl I'm 412 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: kind of interested in. You know, maybe she's cute, maybe 413 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 3: she said a few things, maybe she's looked at him. 414 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,239 Speaker 4: Oh, but that implies that maybe he looked at her. 415 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 5: Can you do that? 416 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 4: I mean, how many how many guys now girls. Women. 417 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 3: I know you did it too, But in high school, 418 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 3: or in college, or even in the workplace, somebody news 419 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 3: shows up, what do you do? 420 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 4: You know, look them over?

He's pretty weird. Yeah, 429 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 3: it just seems that we've reached the point now where 430 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: sex or dating or even trying to have a social relationship, 431 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 3: and I don't know, maybe it's it's a confluence of everything.

But 548 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 3: then to you, to the point you and I were 549 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 3: talking about where would we go. 550 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 5: We joked a little bit just before going to break 551 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 5: that there's there's too many options out there, and that 552 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 5: may be a thing like you go to Basking Robins 553 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 5: a thirty one flavors, it's gonna take you a lot 554 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 5: longer to find one of those thirty one flavors versus 555 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 5: you just have three the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. It's 556 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 5: easier to make a decision from that. So I'm being 557 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 5: being a little seriously. I think it's because the valid 558 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 5: point transgender male, male, female, transgender female, a bisexual person 559 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 5: or so it just trying to figure out there's there's 560 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 5: too many choices. 561 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: Man, there's a slight bit of seriousness to that. 562 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 3: There's a slight bit. I think there's a lot of 563 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: seriousness to it. And then the next question is too 564 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 3: many choices. That to my point was where if we 565 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 3: if you like, exclude the workplace, then you think about 566 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 3: the lives that you and I lead outside this building. 567 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 3: It's pretty austere in terms of, you know, we don't 568 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 3: go to bars, we don't go hanging out at bars. 569 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 4: Nope. 570 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 3: We you know, like you guys are gonna go see 571 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 3: a play.

You at intermission, you mingle around with everybody. 573 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 3: You kind of stand around and get your own drinks 574 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 3: and talk. And then I talked about there's a there's 575 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 3: a I still read the newspaper cartoons and I forget 576 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: the name of this when I have to look it up, 577 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 3: but it's about uh, it's it's a couple.
