WEBVTT - Introducing Season 2 of Modern Ruhles

0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Times were complicated a year ago, then a global pandemic

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>upended our daily lives, and COVID nineteen exposed some of

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the most fragile parts of our system to new pressures.

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 1>In any normal time, a crisis of pandemic would bring

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>us together, and somehow it hasn't. I'm Stephanie Rule, MSNBC

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>anchor and NBC News Senior business correspondent and host of

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the podcast Modern Rules from NBC Think and I Heart Radio.

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>The second season of Modern Rules is partnering with NBC's

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>opinion and analysis sit Think to bring you compelling conversations

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.840
<v Speaker 1>with thought provoking writers so we can try to make

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>sense of this chaos in this upside down world we're

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 1>all in today. From sex and dating during COVID, did

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>you know people are having less sex? And so what

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I see coming is when the quarantine stops. However this ends,

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that next phase will be a really exciting beginning for

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>UH sex and relationship ships. I think it's going to

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>lead to an actual like a post COVID sexual revolution,

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>to the stark reality that the gender gap is a

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>lot wider than we thought. And now during COVID, while

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>we are working and managing even more of the child

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>care and responsibilities. Dads are three times more likely to

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>actually get promoted during this time than we are. And

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the true ramifications of misinformation, So anything from kind of

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>theirs I tends to spread faster and to percolate, so

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>it spreads really quickly, and it's really hard once something

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>is out there to pull it back. The problems we

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>are facing aren't new. These issues aren't going to be

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>undone by a new presidential term, a new year, or

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>even a new vaccine. We've been pushed in ways that

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>could have lasting implications. And in the end, we've got

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 1>one goal to get a little smarter, and I'd like

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>to think we all want that. Join me Stephanie Rule

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.680

0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.360
