Speaker 1: Dearly beloved, Welcome to it could happen here. We are
Speaker 1: gathered here today to get through this thing called life.
Speaker 1: Electric word life. It's a thing that only happens with
Speaker 1: the addition of a couple of ingredients, and one of
Speaker 1: those ingredients is the subject of our episode today. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys like that? Everybody really happy with that? I
Speaker 1: love that. Yeah, I'm feeling not at all like I
Speaker 1: want to kind of shower. You can you can? You
Speaker 1: can hear the moment where we're all like simultaneously questioning
Speaker 1: every single decision we've ever made in our entire lives. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now we're all bonded together. So how's everybody doing today?
Speaker 1: We've got mea Wong Garrison Davis, James Stout, and I
Speaker 1: should let people know I wasn't joking about the come thing.
Speaker 1: So those of you who are two online will know this.
Speaker 1: Those of you who are not online enough, this is
Speaker 1: one of the online things that you will want to
Speaker 1: know because it's very funny. And the gist of it
Speaker 1: is that like four days ago, doctor Jordan B. Peterson
Speaker 1: got sent a link to a Twitter account that is
Speaker 1: that purports to be spreading like hidden news about the
Speaker 1: evils of the Chinese communist regime, and they put out
Speaker 1: a video that was a segment from a British milking
Speaker 1: fetish pornography video. Now, if you're not aware the milking,
Speaker 1: as far as I can tell, I believe the kind
Speaker 1: of descended from the long lineage of like rubber fetishists, right,
Speaker 1: and there's like a lot of medical fetish stuff it
Speaker 1: tied into it. But the idea is that men are
Speaker 1: entirely wrapped up on hospital gurneys and giant pump sucked
Speaker 1: the semen out of them, So it's the machine is
Speaker 1: very cow This Twitter account put this up, claiming that
Speaker 1: it was the Chinese government stealing the semen of young men,
Speaker 1: and Jordan Peterson shared it saying it was an unbelievable
Speaker 1: act of evil and then everyone had the best day
Speaker 1: of their lives. And an hour of two later he
Speaker 1: deleted it. Now I have been continuing coward, coward, coward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so strange, so strange that he left the world of
Speaker 1: peer reviewed academia. Yeah, it's it's wild, but he's no
Speaker 1: longer professor. It's very funny. We're continuing to give him
Speaker 1: shit for it online, but it set us off down
Speaker 1: an interesting road, and because some other stuff fell through,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the wide world of weird
Speaker 1: right wing come conspiracies. Most of them released are going
Speaker 1: to be right wing. There's a surprising number of semen
Speaker 1: based conspiracies. Everybody did research on their own special thing.
Speaker 1: I wanted to start by talking about this this Jordan
Speaker 1: Peterson come via video and giving kind of some of
Speaker 1: the some of the background on it, so I believe it.
Speaker 1: Last July, the Chinese Human Sperm Bank of Shanghai announced
Speaker 1: that it was hosting a competition college students to find
Speaker 1: out whose seamen was the best in terms of, like,
Speaker 1: you know, a number of modal sperm per milli leader.
Speaker 1: I think is the way that they judge it. And
Speaker 1: basically the idea was that they were trying to find
Speaker 1: like people with sperm concentration greater than sixty million per
Speaker 1: milli leader, and if they visited a sperm bank a
Speaker 1: set number of times in a six month period, they
Speaker 1: could receive a prize that was equivalent to about twelve
Speaker 1: hundred dollars right now. The reason this is happening is
Speaker 1: that China, for the first time, as a result of
Speaker 1: a number of different policies, had negative population growth very recently,
Speaker 1: and this is the thing that can cause a problem
Speaker 1: for a country for a variety of reasons. So the
Speaker 1: government is trying to shore up birthrights, and there are
Speaker 1: a lot of couples in China that have had issues conceiving,
Speaker 1: and so there's a huge amount of demand for sperm
Speaker 1: in the country right now. So this is not a
Speaker 1: weird story. It is actually a thing that happens all
Speaker 1: around the world regularly. But right around the time that
Speaker 1: this happened, a little bit after that, it came out
Speaker 1: that a Japanese company started selling what is called in
Speaker 1: the articles I found an automatic sperm extractor two Chinese
Speaker 1: sperm banks. Now this is I'm gonna send y'all the
Speaker 1: link I was hoping you would. Oh yes, good friends, Thanks, Yes,
Speaker 1: we're all going to see this. So the Machines price
Speaker 1: listing on ali Baba, where it sells for about five
Speaker 1: to six thousand dollars, describes it as a device that
Speaker 1: quote merges modern digital technology, automatic control technology, and simulation
Speaker 1: technologies with semen collection and premature ejaculation desensitization training function.
Speaker 1: So it has a number of purposes, including guests to
Speaker 1: help guys stop coming too early, which no shame. It's
Speaker 1: funny that someone built a machine for its It's extremely funny,
Speaker 1: And that you can buy an Ali Express. It's like,
Speaker 1: I personally, I'm not attaching anything. I bought an Ali
Speaker 1: Baba too sensitive parts to my body tis thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: It's not cheap. Now, the primary these are not being
Speaker 1: used for people who are coming to too quickly. Um,
Speaker 1: it's like the worst ever were two D two? This
Speaker 1: it is? It is weird. What's the orientation? Does it
Speaker 1: stand on the ground and you just approach it? You
Speaker 1: have to stand up? Yeah? But what if you're a
Speaker 1: shocking Yeah, I say, I'm sure they have options. It
Speaker 1: has like the rough shape of like Cantel massage device,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of like formed like almost an art
Speaker 1: deco robot vagina. And basically, from what I've read, kind
Speaker 1: of the reasoning is that, like, hey, we need people
Speaker 1: to donate sperm. Some people feel weird about just masturbating
Speaker 1: in a clinic, and we hope this is a more
Speaker 1: pleasant experience for them. So again this we're laughing because like, look,
Speaker 1: a machine designed to capture seamen is kind of a funny. Thing.
Speaker 1: That's okay, no shame on anybody for that. Um but
Speaker 1: the fact that you have both the government trying to
Speaker 1: encourage people to donate sperm and this weird machine kind
Speaker 1: of created fertile ground for a bunch of right wing
Speaker 1: weirdos to start making ground grounded, I know, fertile ground
Speaker 1: to make to make the completely un ungrounded claim that
Speaker 1: like the government was trying to steal people seemen, right,
Speaker 1: And that is the basis of doctor Jordan B. Peterson's
Speaker 1: fun little freak out on the internet. And I will
Speaker 1: say you should try to find the videos of the
Speaker 1: automatic sperm extractor, this this amazing Japanese machine, because it
Speaker 1: is fascinate. We should change some of these on the
Speaker 1: cool Zone account. Do they have to like like like
Speaker 1: change like I assume they liked Ye, yeah, you can't
Speaker 1: clean that. If you watch the video, there's like a
Speaker 1: there's a rubbiot that like comes out like the thing
Speaker 1: that the penis goes in is also the captured device,
Speaker 1: so it is removed with the sperm donation when you
Speaker 1: take it out. Um. So again this is you know,
Speaker 1: funny because come but there's nothing sinister here. It's just
Speaker 1: in the same way that literally everything is. People have
Speaker 1: like spun it up into a nonsense thing. But because
Speaker 1: of this beautiful, beautiful story, which I hope we've all
Speaker 1: gotten to enjoy, I got to do a lot of
Speaker 1: work on the some of you. If you live, if
Speaker 1: you've worked in agriculture, you're not going to be surprised
Speaker 1: that stealing come is a massive industry, like it is
Speaker 1: a There is a lot of money to be made
Speaker 1: in stealing semen. There's enough money to be made in
Speaker 1: stealing semen that there are two different official terms that
Speaker 1: I have found for semen theft. The first is sperm jacking.
Speaker 1: How could it get better? How could it get better
Speaker 1: than that? Garrison? It gets better because the second the
Speaker 1: second is spurgling. These are like les who like come
Speaker 1: up with these terms. Uh, these are genius. There actually is.
Speaker 1: I did find in my research there is one actual
Speaker 1: Chinese based sperm conspiracy. It's just not a very sinister one.
Speaker 1: There's this Chinese businessman, Jesse Jabbi Zoo who stole there's this.
Speaker 1: I think it was a Canadian company. No, it was
Speaker 1: a US company who had So this is for like
Speaker 1: bull semen and one of the things that you want
Speaker 1: for bull semen is you don't want if you're inseminating cows,
Speaker 1: you want all of the babies to be female generally, right,
Speaker 1: because bulls are not very with outside a certain specs.
Speaker 1: If you're like trying to make more breeders or whatever,
Speaker 1: if you're in industrial agriculture, you don't want any of
Speaker 1: the boys, right. You just want to keep making those sweet,
Speaker 1: sweet lady cows that are you know, more useful to
Speaker 1: you in a financial sense. So there's a US company
Speaker 1: that developed a method of before insemination looking through the
Speaker 1: sperm and like sorting out the sperm that will make uh,
Speaker 1: female cows. Um. And that is apparently hard to do.
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like it would be hard to do, right. Um.
Speaker 1: And this this uh, this Chinese businessman was like reverse
Speaker 1: engineering there. It's kind of actually it's basically the same
Speaker 1: story as Jurassic Park. Um. And anyway, this guy has
Speaker 1: has gotten sued for a bunch of money. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a raptor cattle. I hope it works out just as
Speaker 1: well as Jurassic Park. Yeah, it's very funny. I will
Speaker 1: say there's a couple of really wild lines from this
Speaker 1: the CBC story. I found I'm just going to read
Speaker 1: one to you. Um zoos activities could best be described
Speaker 1: as machiavellian. At various points he outlined a plan to
Speaker 1: make x Y that's the American company. Quote feel all
Speaker 1: the time, the sort of damocles is on their heads
Speaker 1: and brag the law is strong, but the outlaws are
Speaker 1: ten times stronger. Okay, Yeah, Jesse Jabezu my hero, the
Speaker 1: sperm Bandit, incredible sperm jacker, one of the best spurglers
Speaker 1: in the business. This man lives on an island with
Speaker 1: his cow raptors. What a hero. Um. There was also
Speaker 1: a case of a Japanese man who illegally took wag
Speaker 1: you cattle sperm to China to try to give them sperm,
Speaker 1: and like the Chinese government immediately caught him and was like, no,
Speaker 1: this is actually incredibly dangerous, Like you're not allowed to
Speaker 1: just take animal breeding material into the country without because
Speaker 1: you know, there's a wide variety of reasons that that
Speaker 1: could be in horribly so he got in a shipload
Speaker 1: of trouble. Yeah, anyway, that's my that's my sperm stories. Everybody.
Speaker 1: Thank you for yeah, thank you, thank you for spurgling
Speaker 1: my knowledge. Garrison we're back, and James is here to
Speaker 1: talk to us about the kind of sperm jacking that
Speaker 1: you do when you don't jack. I'm talking about jacking
Speaker 1: your own sperm by keeping it inside of you seem
Speaker 1: in retention. Yeah, it's it. How was that beautiful? Unscripted?
Speaker 1: Did you just didn't even write that? A Garrison? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's on the back of his hand. He had a
Speaker 1: brainwave at two in the morning and I got that down.
Speaker 1: Those are the kind of things you can do when
Speaker 1: you've been podcasting as long as it's been in a
Speaker 1: come space for several years. I've been in those soggy
Speaker 1: trenches for a long time. All right, we are after all.
Speaker 1: It works, so let me continue. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: talk about what happens when you keep your come inside you. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the thing. What are we doing today? This
Speaker 1: is this is critical journalist and we are making content
Speaker 1: things it Okay, talking of content, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: content of some Reddit posters. So the what's called the
Speaker 1: semen retention movement, and this will this will shock many
Speaker 1: of you began on Reddit dot com. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like so many one.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like, because I feel like
Speaker 1: if you type that into your phone, it would have
Speaker 1: finished the sentence the same way what is auto directed
Speaker 1: to Reddit would Believe me, we're gonna go there, Garrison,
Speaker 1: because when you google sperm retention, you do indeed find
Speaker 1: some stuff on Reddit. So now they've spun off from Reddit,
Speaker 1: right then now have their own organization, which is no
Speaker 1: fat dot com and no fact dot com is a
Speaker 1: community centered sexual health platform. I'm I'm using. I'm allowing
Speaker 1: them to define themselves here. I guests designed to help
Speaker 1: people overcome poor addiction and compulsive sexual behavior, which is
Speaker 1: is not necessarily like like the this isn't not all
Speaker 1: seamen retention, as we're going to learn, is basically helping
Speaker 1: people I become addiction to pawn but so far as
Speaker 1: that is a thing that people actually have. And if
Speaker 1: someone was accusing Rabbitt of being addicted to pawn on
Speaker 1: on his timeline this weekend, that would be because I
Speaker 1: keep ratio and Jordan Peterson with the the pornography video
Speaker 1: that he mistaking the post that's correct, Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: just want him to respond so I could ask him, Jordan,
Speaker 1: tell me in your own words what you thought was
Speaker 1: happening in that video. I really hope he thinks it's
Speaker 1: like milking, Like they have r F I D callers
Speaker 1: and they get fed based on their production level. That
Speaker 1: would be great. Yeah. And what did you you're a
Speaker 1: you're a medical doctor. Did you think that come actually
Speaker 1: worked that way? And you could just stick a sucker
Speaker 1: somebody anyway? Yeah, just get it out, Okay. So after
Speaker 1: after this movement began on Ready dot com, be pivoted
Speaker 1: to kind of offering all kinds of weird physical and
Speaker 1: mental health benefits, and that's where it was adopted by
Speaker 1: friends of the podcast the Proud Boys. Luckily, we do
Speaker 1: have a bit of insight into why and into the
Speaker 1: exact nature of the no fat fascism that the Proud
Speaker 1: Boys practice. Sanks to Kyle Cheney. He's a political reporter
Speaker 1: who was reporting on the trial of one of the
Speaker 1: Proud Boys accused of additional January six called Zach Rell,
Speaker 1: and that trial for reasons that I'm not exactly clear on,
Speaker 1: the Proud Boy I guess it's like their handbook like that,
Speaker 1: the kind of a Proud Boy Bye was introduced and
Speaker 1: into the record. Somebody's there, Yep, it's in the court record, buddy,
Speaker 1: because because what the lawyers decided that it was pertinent
Speaker 1: to the case. So a proud boy may not ejaculate
Speaker 1: alone more than once in every thirty days. That means
Speaker 1: he must abstain from pornography during that time. And if
Speaker 1: he needs to ejaculate, this is really weird. It must
Speaker 1: be within w one yard of a woman. Fascinatingly specific. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah right, And I like that they've they've gone with
Speaker 1: imperial measurements with her consent, so that's nice. The woman
Speaker 1: may not be a prostitute, so that that's the proud
Speaker 1: poison nature. Then no fa fascism. But I think I
Speaker 1: think the way of understanding why some people practice this
Speaker 1: perhaps best is to is to go on to reddit
Speaker 1: dot com. So I found a post by Reddit user
Speaker 1: you slash monk one nine one eight one seven. It
Speaker 1: seems like a nice guy and there are four votes.
Speaker 1: What I did was I went to semen retention and
Speaker 1: I looked at, you know, sorted by popular posts, found
Speaker 1: this one from a bunch of numbers, and so this
Speaker 1: guy has nine years of experience with semen retention. So
Speaker 1: I'm just going to read I'm presuming it a boy yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: him and some months off the coast of fucking lind
Speaker 1: Spark couldnt be healthy. No, I don't think it is.
Speaker 1: There is, and we'll get to this evidence that you
Speaker 1: shouldn't do this. So, in his nine years of experience,
Speaker 1: he has experienced the following things. Semen, when retained in
Speaker 1: our bodies, has healing, rejuvenating effects. Loss of semen has
Speaker 1: the opposite effects. This may not be scientifically proven, but
Speaker 1: it's proven by experience. That's a red fla. That's interesting
Speaker 1: getting reddit medical advice. While attempting any task, it demands
Speaker 1: high physical, mental, or intellectual abilities. If we are semen
Speaker 1: retention powered, we would actually enjoy the task, which would
Speaker 1: otherwise seem dull. This is called sexual energy transmutation in
Speaker 1: layman's terms. Oh no, that's the layman's are the what's
Speaker 1: the non layman term? Just it's got even more? I
Speaker 1: have no idea spermozoic fucking fission. So for peak performance
Speaker 1: it's always necessary to be powered by semen. It would
Speaker 1: be best to use semen only for regeneration purpose is
Speaker 1: since nature riginally intended it for regeneration and not use
Speaker 1: it for sexual purposes. Apart from to create a child.
Speaker 1: If not serving that purpose, Master whatever teach techniques are
Speaker 1: useful in not letting the seed out while having sex.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, don't let your seed
Speaker 1: out like a worthless thing. There's more so, just contain yourself.
Speaker 1: Great great, which is exactly the reason why core religions
Speaker 1: are based on celibacy, because opposite of regeneration is degeneration,
Speaker 1: which will cause a man to fall into a lower
Speaker 1: state controlled by his lower nature, rather than when he's
Speaker 1: subduing it. We should let seeman retention be part of
Speaker 1: our lives, not something that is done for superpowers. For
Speaker 1: superpowers are, in my experience, the sudden ecstasy that we
Speaker 1: feel wants. We transition from the degenerated to the regenerated state,
Speaker 1: and that will stabilize after some time, similar to how
Speaker 1: a flight maintains stable altitude after takeoff. Very very similar. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what you can hear when the engine are spinning up.
Speaker 1: It's just a dude trank really hard not to nut
Speaker 1: and it makes that noise. So excited for the next
Speaker 1: Marvel film where the where the superhero from not come
Speaker 1: so he can get tiny no fat man. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't. I should add that this person confess us
Speaker 1: to having collapsed at some point in the nine years.
Speaker 1: Yeah it Armstrong was on steroids. It's just disappointing. It's yeah,
Speaker 1: no one would have seen it coming. See what I
Speaker 1: did there. Okay. So this person then urges other posters
Speaker 1: on the Seema retention sub credit to not use streets
Speaker 1: to outperform others, or look better about ourselves or bring
Speaker 1: others down. The battle with lust is a lifelong fight.
Speaker 1: And the more we get better at finding victories Yeah, yeah, buddy,
Speaker 1: at finding victories over internal battles the battle, we become
Speaker 1: as high valued men. Hell yeah. I've often wished that,
Speaker 1: you know, if the if the pandemic hadn't been a thing,
Speaker 1: and I could force you all to work in a
Speaker 1: central location, I could have like a wall of murals
Speaker 1: where I put under each of your faces a quote
Speaker 1: from an episode that you've participated in, and James that
Speaker 1: that would be your quote. The battle against lust is
Speaker 1: a lifelong struggle. Yeah, that'll get some T shirts knocked up.
Speaker 1: But we can do a FUNDRAI let me eventually get
Speaker 1: the cools on media offices. But you have a portrait
Speaker 1: hanging on the wall of each of us with one
Speaker 1: quote underneath yeah yeah, yeah yeah, on a plaque with
Speaker 1: a yeah, let me get the cool when we when
Speaker 1: we take over the meta offices three weeks from now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is a marketing company that has been emailing me
Speaker 1: for about six months telling me how cheap it is
Speaker 1: to buy a billboard by the side of a road
Speaker 1: and send a message to a loved one. So maybe great, great,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll bang rang yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Well they
Speaker 1: will be into I put my positive messages about the
Speaker 1: controlling lust and holding seamen inside our bodies, true and
Speaker 1: return mentor former glory. So a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of the Reddit posts rely on a couple of different studies, right,
Speaker 1: and one of these studies measured participants. A lot of
Speaker 1: what they're doing is they're claiming to increase testosterone right
Speaker 1: right at the bat. The testosterone does have, as Long's
Speaker 1: armstrong can tell you some performance enhancing benefits, so yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, increases your muscle growth, your your coverage from exercise,
Speaker 1: all that stuff. One of the studies measured participates testosterone
Speaker 1: levels at baseline before masturbation and then in ten minute
Speaker 1: intervals after masturbation. Right, and then they were asked to
Speaker 1: abstain for three weeks, and they came back and they
Speaker 1: did the process again. Testosterone was higher in the baseline
Speaker 1: measurement at the end of the three weeks of abstinence, right,
Speaker 1: but the sample size was pretty small, and there's some
Speaker 1: theorizing that the boost was actually caused by the empty
Speaker 1: sipated masturbation that they were about to do at the
Speaker 1: second It was so ready to go, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're just ready to pop after three weeks. The second
Speaker 1: study looked at a forty five percent intury, so after
Speaker 1: a few days, seven days of abstinence. But even the
Speaker 1: study showed this was a temporary peak that returned to
Speaker 1: normal even with continuing abstinence. So there's there's just these
Speaker 1: two studies. They're pretty they happened a long time ago.
Speaker 1: We'll post them all in the show notes if you
Speaker 1: guys want to read more about no fab science. But
Speaker 1: we should just point out that there is in fact
Speaker 1: a multitude of evidence. This is a bad idea that
Speaker 1: having sex is actually good for you. Having sex will
Speaker 1: will trying not to ejaculate. It's probably not good for you,
Speaker 1: probably not good for your your relationship either. One would surmise,
Speaker 1: there I will share into that. Whatever. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well if that's your thing, you do you do you.
Speaker 1: There was a study that investigated the motivation for semen
Speaker 1: retention among semen retainers, and a lot of it it
Speaker 1: seemed like its people were people who felt that like
Speaker 1: either sex or masturbation was unhealthy or wrong or sinful.
Speaker 1: And there is evidence to show that like feeling like
Speaker 1: guilty about yourself or like living with stress and self
Speaker 1: loathing like that is bad for you, right, and that
Speaker 1: will reduce your testosterone level. There's also some evidence to
Speaker 1: suggest not ejaculating could give you prostate issues, which yes,
Speaker 1: um yeah, there's there's and this is like pretty debatable,
Speaker 1: like most things that people talk about with in regards
Speaker 1: to coming and health, like you can find some studies,
Speaker 1: like the studies on testosterone. Some of them are kind
Speaker 1: of sketchy anyway. Yeah, I don't think will come or
Speaker 1: come either way. Um, you know, it's whatever. But if
Speaker 1: you do have a chance to fuck one of those
Speaker 1: ali baba row bots, I recommend it out. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about come demons. Hell yeah wait, okay, okay, hard hard
Speaker 1: pivot here from so okay, we we are not going
Speaker 1: as far afield from the no fat people as as
Speaker 1: as as you would think. Okay, but all right, now,
Speaker 1: the year is twenty twenty. Everyone on earth has collectively
Speaker 1: gone insane. Uh, this is this is this is the summer.
Speaker 1: This is the summer of twenty twenty. So this is
Speaker 1: the part of twenty twenty where fun stuff is happening.
Speaker 1: This is like late July, Garrison, that's when we met.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we we're getting just incredibly poisoned. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we share where it'll be fun in like twenty years. Well,
Speaker 1: while while life or death struggle for the sort of
Speaker 1: the life or death struggle for the fate of the
Speaker 1: United States and whether or not people are going to
Speaker 1: be conducing murder by the cops is being waged in
Speaker 1: the streets, Donald Trump and Donald J. Trump Tonald Donald J. Trump, Wow,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior. That one. That's that's that's the Trump
Speaker 1: and the little drum here. Yeah, Trump, we're you know,
Speaker 1: looking for look at looking for their their they're they're
Speaker 1: cure to COVID nineteen on Twitter. And okay, so as
Speaker 1: we probably all remember, right, the thing that they found
Speaker 1: was hydroxy. Okay, so one of the first ones that
Speaker 1: they found before before I remacted. This is this is
Speaker 1: before ye went it inside of them all along. Man, No,
Speaker 1: this is this is. This is hydrochloric the thing that
Speaker 1: was probably I hope they weren't full of the record question.
Speaker 1: I thought it was semen. No, no, well we'll get
Speaker 1: to that where there there's a The road is long,
Speaker 1: but it ends with cum demons. But we first must
Speaker 1: walk the road. So the road here is Donald Donald
Speaker 1: Trump Junior post to tweet saying like this, saying this
Speaker 1: is necessary watching about this video from this doctor named
Speaker 1: doctor Stella Emmanue. Now, okay, so who is this person? Um?
Speaker 1: She she is part of a oh okay, I say
Speaker 1: part of She runs this thing called Firepower Ministries, which
Speaker 1: oh no, so you don't think it's going great. Um,
Speaker 1: she's also part of yeah, okay, cool. Yeah, she's also
Speaker 1: part of America's frontline doctors who are yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I forgotten y yeah, these dipshits. Oh my god. Okay,
Speaker 1: So this is this is very very very much in
Speaker 1: the same vein as architecture nine eleven truth. They found
Speaker 1: a bunch of people who technically have medical degrees or
Speaker 1: like nurses, who were like no, No, vaccines are bad
Speaker 1: and hydroxy chloriclean hytractic chor clean is well, we'll chloric
Speaker 1: covid cork with that one. Yeah, it's it's it's been,
Speaker 1: it's been. It's been a long day. I I've slept
Speaker 1: for eight hours, but in like several distinct parts of
Speaker 1: the day that we're not continuous. It's been. Things are going,
Speaker 1: things are going, Corey, if you'd taken some horse medicine
Speaker 1: fish quite possibly, I mean, is it's all like you
Speaker 1: could have gone worse? All right, all right, So so
Speaker 1: this this person's from the very sketchy doctors who are
Speaker 1: trying to sell like a bunch of random shit to
Speaker 1: to to cure covid. And okay, so who actually is
Speaker 1: this person? Um? She is from Camera Roon and doctor
Speaker 1: Stella Emitt Emanue was caught up in the unbelievably sort
Speaker 1: of like I mean right, like yes, objectively right wing,
Speaker 1: also very very weird wave of Pentecostalism and charismatic Christianity
Speaker 1: that's been sweeping across that part of Africa as part
Speaker 1: of sort of a you know, I sort of like
Speaker 1: a very sort of long range of coordinated effort by
Speaker 1: by right wing Christian missionaries. So okay, so for for
Speaker 1: for people who don't know your Christianity very well, the
Speaker 1: Pentecostals and the charismatic Christians are like firmly in the
Speaker 1: very very weird camp of Christians. Like these are these
Speaker 1: are the people who do faith healing. Um. One of
Speaker 1: the very common sort of Pentecostal things is this belief
Speaker 1: that like like you just you talk to God, like
Speaker 1: God's in your head and you just have conversations with Him.
Speaker 1: Now unfortunately for like all of us, and and this
Speaker 1: is you know what a thing that is a not
Speaker 1: insignificant contributing factor to why the last I don't know
Speaker 1: ten years have been so bat shit is that like
Speaker 1: this this originally was kind of an isolated Pentecostal thing,
Speaker 1: and like the broader evangelicals were like, no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: God only talks to me like your pastor, like he's
Speaker 1: probably not like you're you're not like having a conversation
Speaker 1: in your head with but like change that's changed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this shit has, this ship has fucking taken over everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's really bad. Um. And these people believe a lot
Speaker 1: of very very weird stuff. So well do I mean, okay,
Speaker 1: so like, you know, she she has like some of
Speaker 1: the sort of standard like really really hardline like David
Speaker 1: Ike shit, Like she believes that the world's being run
Speaker 1: by aliens and like reptiles, and like the vaccine has
Speaker 1: like alien DNA in it to like take over your dude.
Speaker 1: You know. It's just like sort of kind of Facebook
Speaker 1: moments Alex Jones, Shit, yeah right, okay, but okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna read this quote from will Sumner. This is a
Speaker 1: quote from one of her for her sermons. They which is,
Speaker 1: demons are responsible for serious guy necological problems. Emmanuel said,
Speaker 1: we call them all kinds of names, and Tromesius and Travisius,
Speaker 1: we call them molar pregnancies, we call them fibroids, we
Speaker 1: call them cysts. But most of them were evil deposits
Speaker 1: from spirit husband God. No, they are responsible for miscarriages, impotence,
Speaker 1: men that can't get it up. So all right, immediately
Speaker 1: we we have like we have there there are several
Speaker 1: kinds of cum demons here that we're dealing with. So
Speaker 1: there are are like there, there's there's there's okay. So
Speaker 1: a lot of this is drawn from what is a
Speaker 1: very like a J. Whitely unbelievably dubious piece of theology.
Speaker 1: So when when I was reading musician this right, I saw,
Speaker 1: I saw, I saw someone there there was there was
Speaker 1: like a religious scholar who was writing this. He was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I immediately recognized the theology of this. This is from
Speaker 1: this is from a Genesis six So okay. So I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, what what the fuck are they talking about?
Speaker 1: So I went back and I read GENI Okay, So
Speaker 1: I went back and I read the Genesis, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to read the two this is. This is from
Speaker 1: Genesis chapter six, verses one and two, And I am
Speaker 1: just going to read these two sentences, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to see if you two can produce cum demons from this. Okay, happy?
Speaker 1: I mean I could produce cum demons from all modist
Speaker 1: in anything that is the power with the right machinery.
Speaker 1: You know what, I think we know exactly what the
Speaker 1: right machinery is. Look, we know that we can produce
Speaker 1: come demons mechanically. Our challenge here is to produce them theologically. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll try. I will, I will use all of all
Speaker 1: of my knowledge. We must we must find a way
Speaker 1: to evacuate the vast deference of the soul. Okay, so
Speaker 1: I'm using I'm using the King James translation because that's
Speaker 1: the translation that all these psychos use. And it came
Speaker 1: to pass when men began to multiply on the face
Speaker 1: of the earth and daughters were born onto them, that
Speaker 1: the sons of God saw the daughters of man, that
Speaker 1: they were fair, and they took them wives of all
Speaker 1: which they chose. Okay, so I I do know why
Speaker 1: they're I do know what what they are doing. So
Speaker 1: the sons of God, those would be what like fallen
Speaker 1: angels that have been procreating with women and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: this this ties into like the Book of Enoch stuff,
Speaker 1: which was made a little bit like after Genesis, but
Speaker 1: it kind of it like retconned a lot of like
Speaker 1: the creation story. So I can see where they're they're
Speaker 1: pulling come Demons from, but it is it is a
Speaker 1: bit of a stretch. Yeah, they're gonna you could say,
Speaker 1: come demons in the way that like God seemed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could see it. Yeah, it's that's it is a
Speaker 1: stretch now, Okay, my my, my, my analysis, because I
Speaker 1: think I think I think they're pulling this out of
Speaker 1: their ass and I think they're pulling this out of
Speaker 1: their as Ye, it's also come deepon So yeah, they're like,
Speaker 1: I I I I have. It is well known for
Speaker 1: people who follow me on Twitter that I have an
Speaker 1: immense and powerful disrespect for theology. But what what what
Speaker 1: part of the sons of God? What? What part of
Speaker 1: that gets you to demons? And not? Like because again,
Speaker 1: isn't the whole point of Christianity that we are all
Speaker 1: God's children? Like isn't it? Is this not a thing
Speaker 1: that they tell you in every single fucking sort How
Speaker 1: do you read that and not think they're talking about
Speaker 1: people and immediately jump to come deemon? Like, here's what's
Speaker 1: going on? I could I could explain this because this
Speaker 1: is the King's James version. So this was made in
Speaker 1: a post Book of Enoch world. Around the around the
Speaker 1: alleged birth of Jesus, the Book of Enoch got very
Speaker 1: popular UM and this this introduced the idea of a
Speaker 1: fallen angel. The fall fallen angel isn't really in the
Speaker 1: Bible at all, It's only it's only in like non
Speaker 1: biblical um Abrahamic texts. So this, this idea then kind
Speaker 1: of got planted into a lot of like Catholic mythology
Speaker 1: as well. So when they're they're caused there they have
Speaker 1: a distinction between like the like the sons of like
Speaker 1: the sons of God versus um what was the what
Speaker 1: was I think they used to refer to the daughters
Speaker 1: the sons of the daughters of men exactly. So the
Speaker 1: daughters are human, where the the the sons are like
Speaker 1: came from God. So that is some type of fallen
Speaker 1: angel that has been cast down to earth. Like there
Speaker 1: they are doing a specific thing. But it's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's a result of a whole bunch of like mistranslations
Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of various various like Christian A
Speaker 1: Gnostic texts that that have been misinterpreted for thousands of
Speaker 1: years by the Catholic Church, and it creates a really
Speaker 1: weird theology that is indistinguishable from like Castle of India.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm blame. I blamed Martin lud This is
Speaker 1: Martin Luther's fault, like that like the Mary would keep
Speaker 1: it in high Latins can't understand this. This is this is,
Speaker 1: this is what Martin Luther. I'm specifically because okay, so
Speaker 1: this was already happy the count the Church was already
Speaker 1: doing this right, but Martin Luther had a chance to
Speaker 1: fix this shit, and she was like, do you know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do Instead of that, I am going
Speaker 1: to I am going to turn against the peasant revolts
Speaker 1: and I'm going to do I'm going to bring about
Speaker 1: a level of anti Semitism that is going to allow
Speaker 1: me to outflank the Inquisition on the right. She could
Speaker 1: have been fixing this bullshit. No anti Semitism. Whoo, I
Speaker 1: gotta keep my patron lords in. He was German like,
Speaker 1: there's only so much you can ask, that's true. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm happy that we can all go to sleep at
Speaker 1: night worrying about the sons of God and planting semen.
Speaker 1: Oh there's also okay, So that that's that's cum demon
Speaker 1: type type one, right, that is okay. So though those
Speaker 1: are those are the demons that like they they have
Speaker 1: they have sex with women and they produced nephelim from
Speaker 1: or sometimes also there's there's a lot of sort of
Speaker 1: conflicting sort of theological All that stuff comes from the
Speaker 1: Book of Enoch. All that stuff is non cannon to
Speaker 1: the modern Bible, but it's where it's where it comes
Speaker 1: from fucking Council of Nicia. Okay, but there's also there's
Speaker 1: also a second there's also the second kind of come demon, right,
Speaker 1: which is these are the these are well okay, so
Speaker 1: a succubine incubi are based here we go. I knew it.
Speaker 1: I was down. It was counting down the the other
Speaker 1: kind of of demon. So you have your incubi, right,
Speaker 1: who are another type of sex demon. And the incubi
Speaker 1: fuck men so they can steal their semen and they're
Speaker 1: they're they're there. You know. There's other sermons are reasons
Speaker 1: that there. There's another thing that she talks about, which
Speaker 1: is that, um, there are witches who have like actual
Speaker 1: spirit sex with men, and there's sleep and if you're
Speaker 1: like having a sex dream, it's because you're having actual
Speaker 1: spirit sex. Oh no, no, yeah, I mean like I
Speaker 1: like Bill Murray, I've I've experienced that. Oh no, that
Speaker 1: was Bill Murray. Sorry, my mistake. Oh wait, yes, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: the cloud the fog is clearing. I've I've had I've
Speaker 1: had sex with too many sex demons. It's it's a
Speaker 1: real issue. Okay. So so all right, so we have
Speaker 1: the sex demons who are like trying to pregnant you.
Speaker 1: We have the sex demans you're trying to steal your
Speaker 1: com We also have the actual we have the actual
Speaker 1: projecting projecting witches, right, and the actual projecting witches are
Speaker 1: trying to steal people's come as part of an Illuminati
Speaker 1: plot to create like an even more powerful witch. And
Speaker 1: the even more powerful witch is going to use gay
Speaker 1: marriage and children's toys to like destroy the fabric of
Speaker 1: Western civilization and thus bring about sort of general new
Speaker 1: world order, et cetera. Honestly, witch meetings, Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: not as far from the backstory to Warhammer forty thousand
Speaker 1: it should be. That's very sadly true. I didn't want
Speaker 1: Warhammer forty thousands coming to our come episode if I moneyed. No,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, look, there's a lot of people who
Speaker 1: are interested in both Seeming Retention and Warhammer forty thousands.
Speaker 1: That's a tight drab. Yeah, yeah, they all play ultramarines.
Speaker 1: That was That's pretty good Warhammer forty thousand joke for
Speaker 1: those of you who play. Also, I also learned a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago that I one of the many
Speaker 1: crimes of the Emperor of forty k was passing off
Speaker 1: at a Miri Bakara quote as his own. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that is that was That was a good bit. That
Speaker 1: was a really good bit. It's little pieces like that
Speaker 1: that let you know that Dan Abnet's pretty base. That
Speaker 1: was my favorite part of the book. So funny. That's like,
Speaker 1: that's literally Cannon. I do have like three pages written ones.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's that's the end of the go off. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: the one thing I'll add on is that one of
Speaker 1: the more funny modern versions of these if you go
Speaker 1: on the Bena Drill subreddit to the Recreational Penetral subreddit,
Speaker 1: you can find people who try to take enough betadrill
Speaker 1: to have sex with the hat Man, which is another
Speaker 1: another form trying to subven shadow people. Maybe maybe you
Speaker 1: have to you have to explain your terms for people here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not man. The hind Man is a tall, thin
Speaker 1: man wearing a hat who appears when you take hallucinogenic
Speaker 1: doses of benadrill because you can't afford better drugs because
Speaker 1: you're seventeen. Yes, we're younger, and there are some people
Speaker 1: the hat man. Some people find the hat man extremely attractive,
Speaker 1: or some of like the female shadow people variants and
Speaker 1: they try to they I have I have read multiple
Speaker 1: reports of people explaining their sexual experiences with shadow people. Anyways,
Speaker 1: the President of the United States and his son we're
Speaker 1: promoting this, so this is great. This website, by the way,
Speaker 1: absolute adventures on here. I'm just reading about how to
Speaker 1: use christ blood as a weapon. Amazing. Oh that's good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: no problems here. Yeah. Do you know who won't steal
Speaker 1: your semen? Everybody? We can't promise that. I can. I
Speaker 1: can promise any advertiser on this show, I've personally approved
Speaker 1: to make sure they will not come into your bedroom
Speaker 1: and steal your semen. Wow, how do you do? How's
Speaker 1: the approval process work? Instead of interest, I cannot divulge
Speaker 1: private garrisons. We are. We are going to close off
Speaker 1: by by talking about a sperm antestosterone um to two
Speaker 1: of our favorite topics for this episode. For some reason,
Speaker 1: about about a year ago, a trailer on Fox News
Speaker 1: dropped for a new batch of Tucker Carlson originals titled
Speaker 1: The End of Men. It opens with the text that reads,
Speaker 1: in the current year, the cycle continues once a society collapse.
Speaker 1: He said, you're in hard times. Well, hard iron sharpens iron,
Speaker 1: as they'd say, and those hard times inevitably produce men
Speaker 1: who are tough, men, who are resource for, men who
Speaker 1: are strong enough to survive, and then they go on
Speaker 1: to re establish order, and so the cycle begins again. Now,
Speaker 1: there's a few funny things about this video, from the
Speaker 1: ripped shirtless dudes milking cows to wrestling each other and
Speaker 1: shooting bottles of canola oil. There's a un range. They're
Speaker 1: shooting like ten bottles of canola oil for some reason maybe,
Speaker 1: but then Mussolini's like, they're into the Mussolini stuff. He
Speaker 1: was by far the most bizarre. I suspect they're shooting
Speaker 1: the canola because it's like a seed oil thing. They
Speaker 1: think that like seed sucking out your testosterone. Anyway, it's
Speaker 1: something very silly, but by far the most bizarre thing
Speaker 1: in this trailer is a shot of a laked man
Speaker 1: with outstretched arms like Jesus on the Cross style, standing
Speaker 1: in front of a lake at dusk with a white
Speaker 1: machine shining a glowing red light on his dick. What
Speaker 1: and again at the climax of the music from two
Speaker 1: and Want to Space Odyssey, Uh, there's this there's this
Speaker 1: man facing balls first in front of this large red
Speaker 1: light at the end of this trailer, I you should
Speaker 1: never have been any cause on our podcast or on
Speaker 1: Fox News for anyone to say the line after the
Speaker 1: end of the climax of the music from two thousand
Speaker 1: and one a space odys scene. Oh that's the thing
Speaker 1: we're objecting to from this episode, that's the line. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it shouldn't a climax. It lost its power in
Speaker 1: that moment. It was considering both like the James that
Speaker 1: was a very good joke. Thank you, Faith, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you for seeing me, buddy. Yeah, so considering both
Speaker 1: like the text at the beginning, and then some of
Speaker 1: the narration that we just heard in the trailer, they're
Speaker 1: kind of doing this weird like Kali Yuga thing, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is that is a bit of a bit of
Speaker 1: what's going on here. Because again you can listen to
Speaker 1: our episodes on Savitri Devi for a little more information
Speaker 1: about this. But it's like this weird right wing like
Speaker 1: quasi apocalyptic concept that evolved during an intermix between some
Speaker 1: of the early Nazis and some of the people who
Speaker 1: are currently behind mind the present leader of India. It's
Speaker 1: it's way too esoteric weird to get into. But it's
Speaker 1: one of the things that yeah, it's like it. Um,
Speaker 1: We're not going to get into it too much. But
Speaker 1: I think the previous news unsettling that it wound up
Speaker 1: adjacent to a Tucker Carlson episode because it's some like weird,
Speaker 1: esoteric Nazi wizard shit. Yes um. And that previous November,
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan posted a Kali Yuga meme which went viral.
Speaker 1: It's it's about how hard times creates strong men, which
Speaker 1: create good times, which lead to weak men, which create
Speaker 1: hard times. It's a fucking silly his, his, his. The
Speaker 1: The accompanying text on the Instagram post that that Rogan
Speaker 1: did said civilizations move in predictable cycles. We are in
Speaker 1: the kali Yuga, the age of conflict. All of the
Speaker 1: chaos we're seeing right now is predicted in Hinduism thousands
Speaker 1: of years ago. Rogan was probably just like parroting something
Speaker 1: that he heard from one of his many fashy or
Speaker 1: New Age friends, which, considering Rogan's social circle, that could
Speaker 1: very well just be the same person. Yes, yeah, one
Speaker 1: of his fucking sparring buddies is either friends with the
Speaker 1: Nazi or just stumbled upon a fucking the Wrong podcast
Speaker 1: and then told him that when they were smoking weed,
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, that's I mean, that's honestly to
Speaker 1: It's problematic because of his platform, but that's how I learned.
Speaker 1: Everything about sooteca that I learned when I was in
Speaker 1: my twenties was some I was smoking wheat with some
Speaker 1: sketchy dude who was going places you shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: on the internet. So a few months after Rogan posted
Speaker 1: this meme, we have Tucker Carlson making this whole mini
Speaker 1: series surrounding this Hard Times Creates Strong Men kind of trend.
Speaker 1: It's taking cues from the online manosphere, and Tucker posited
Speaker 1: that weak, unmanly men are leading to the collapse of
Speaker 1: civilization and a hardening of men is necessary to save it.
Speaker 1: According to According to Tucker, one of the one of
Speaker 1: the threats to manhood is a quote unquote total collapse
Speaker 1: in testosterone levels amongst men in recent years. And the
Speaker 1: solution goes beyond just your typical like anti soy crusading
Speaker 1: that Tucker has done in the past. Now, Tucker has
Speaker 1: turned to the cutting edge science of bromeopathic medicine as
Speaker 1: advocation that's as advocated for by a quote unquote fitness
Speaker 1: professional named Andrew McGovern who touts that infrared light and
Speaker 1: testical tanning is this day sex Makeda for plummeting tea
Speaker 1: levels in men. So obviously half the viewers right now
Speaker 1: are like, what that's cutestical tanning, that's crazy. But my
Speaker 1: view is okay, testosterone levels crash and nobody says anything
Speaker 1: about it that's crazy, So why is it crazy to
Speaker 1: seek solutions? It's not crazy to seek solutions. And I
Speaker 1: think I was recently exposed to a term called bromeopathy,
Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of people out there
Speaker 1: right now that um are don't trust the mainstream information.
Speaker 1: This TV special is constantly referred to as a documentary,
Speaker 1: so surely you would expect Tucker to try and like
Speaker 1: interview scientists or like anyone with expertise on this topic.
Speaker 1: Of course, not act not not the case. Serious. Andrew
Speaker 1: McGovern are our bromeopathic hero. Works as a personal trader
Speaker 1: at Lifetime Fitness in Columbus, Ohio, and he hasn't even
Speaker 1: been a trader for very long. About a decade ago.
Speaker 1: About a decade ago, he was the manager of an
Speaker 1: Abercrombie and Fitch store in Miami. Oh perfect, yes, you know? Okay,
Speaker 1: now descriptions from it works at the Abercrombie and Fitch store. Wait,
Speaker 1: and but in Miami. Hey, if you want to get trimmed,
Speaker 1: that's where you get trim yea, that is that type
Speaker 1: of dude. He's emerging here. As of twenties of the deed,
Speaker 1: he was the director of operations for Petland retail stores.
Speaker 1: You're getting funnier. This guy's resume is highly amusing. But Tucker,
Speaker 1: being a competent journalist, did not just interview one person. However,
Speaker 1: Kid Rock was brought on to be the sole voice
Speaker 1: of you laugh. But kid Rock is the other person
Speaker 1: I've gotten prescription drugs from so real bastion. In the
Speaker 1: platonic cave of men stands Kid Rock and a guy
Speaker 1: from Apocrombie and Fitch. We must only be their shadows. Dude,
Speaker 1: stop testicle Danny. Come on, Yeah, I haven't heard anything, Bobby.
Speaker 1: I'm starting a punk rock band and it's called testicle tanning.
Speaker 1: That's the end of it. I mean, don't you think
Speaker 1: at this point, when so many of the therapies, the
Speaker 1: paths they've told us to take have turned out to
Speaker 1: be dead ends that have really hurt people. Why wouldn't
Speaker 1: open minded people seek new solutions. I don't know what
Speaker 1: the hell is going on in this world. I'm not
Speaker 1: even sure if I understood that question, But some days
Speaker 1: I just want to stop this planet, let me off.
Speaker 1: Like kid Rock was not did not buy into testicle
Speaker 1: tanning the same way, Tucker seemed to. Oh God, is
Speaker 1: kid Rock gonna be the voice? That's what I said.
Speaker 1: I said he was brought up to be the sole
Speaker 1: voice of reason. We thought you were joking because it's
Speaker 1: kid Rock, you were joking. Believe you. No, he's the
Speaker 1: only person that doesn't. Kid Rock stands with science. It
Speaker 1: is indeed sweet Home, Alabama all summer long. Tucker was
Speaker 1: not the first person to advocate for testicular tanning as
Speaker 1: the solution to an allegedly problematic dip in testosterone levels.
Speaker 1: Dating back to twenty fifteen, you can find articles on
Speaker 1: lines such as quote former MLB player Gabe Kapler says
Speaker 1: men who want to get stronger should tan their testicles
Speaker 1: from Complex and quote I put a giant red light
Speaker 1: on my balls to triple white testoster levels from the
Speaker 1: Men's Health twenty seventeen. Is that written by Ben Greenfield?
Speaker 1: Banny Judts because he normally pops up with these things,
Speaker 1: which which one the Men's health one. Let me see
Speaker 1: the guy who injected dick to make it bigger. I
Speaker 1: have it in my show notes here. This was written
Speaker 1: by someone named Ben Greenfield. This baland has one games.
Speaker 1: So proud of you today, Buddy, I'm so happy. Team
Speaker 1: jas are you taking? Are you taking performance enhancing drugs
Speaker 1: for this podcast? Shady Robert, I'm not. This is so funny.
Speaker 1: We have stepped into a gold mind of contact with
Speaker 1: Ben Greenfield, the guy who injected his own dick with
Speaker 1: stemselves to make it bigger. That's so funny. I urge you.
Speaker 1: I compel you. If you have any free time in
Speaker 1: your Google Ben Greenfield penis there will be several articles.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be reptible outlets. It will just fucking
Speaker 1: make you unwell. Well, that's that is great to hear.
Speaker 1: But despite not being the first person to talk about
Speaker 1: testicular tanning, Tucker was certainly the most impactful. After the
Speaker 1: airing of the End of Men, testicular tanning showed a
Speaker 1: seven thousand increase in relative search interest on Google and
Speaker 1: thirty thirty five thousand increase in tweets on the topic. Now,
Speaker 1: surely some of these things or stuff like what if
Speaker 1: something like making fun of it? Right, I'm yeah, But
Speaker 1: also a lot of it's also people who are just
Speaker 1: talking about it genuinely. Um to quote a study published
Speaker 1: in j M I R, a dermatology publication, quote, the
Speaker 1: promotion of testicular tanning generated significant public interest in an
Speaker 1: evidence lacking and potentially dangerous health trend. Dermatologists and other
Speaker 1: healthcare professionals should be aware of these new viral health
Speaker 1: trends to best consultations and combat health misinformation. So like
Speaker 1: in terms of actual data, But twenty seventeen meta analysis
Speaker 1: of studies on sperm counts found that in North America, Europe, Australia,
Speaker 1: and New Zealand, men's sperm counts have declined by about
Speaker 1: fifty percent between nineteen seventy three and twenty eleven. Now,
Speaker 1: these results have not been enough to really cause broad
Speaker 1: concern unless you're like a right wing influencer for men,
Speaker 1: because there doesn't really seem to be an equal drop
Speaker 1: in testosterone levels. Problems mankind has had on the whole
Speaker 1: not enough seamen is one of them. Yes, and and
Speaker 1: like compared to previous decades, there is this maybe like
Speaker 1: a twenty percent decrease in total testosterone levels amongst adolescent
Speaker 1: and young adult males, but that's highly fluctual and it's
Speaker 1: impacted heavily by diet. It's it's suspected that pollution environmental
Speaker 1: degradation are also suspected of being contributing factors, with plastics
Speaker 1: like a thighlight being known to interfere with the production
Speaker 1: of hormones like distosterone. But this this area research is
Speaker 1: still heavily contested, but still that has not stopped fitness
Speaker 1: YouTubers and conservative influencers from tying this to like the
Speaker 1: soyboy feminization of men and drumming up panic to grow
Speaker 1: their social media followings, sell their supplements and advertise affiliate products.
Speaker 1: The Kreme de la Kreme of red lights for testicular
Speaker 1: tanning is the Jeve Light A light. Juve is a
Speaker 1: light therapy panel company which which sells these LEDs. They're
Speaker 1: they're like this, They're like this upscale wellness brand. The
Speaker 1: smallest model they have costs over a thousand dollars with
Speaker 1: the full body ones going for around ten grand. This
Speaker 1: is when you know it's a grift. If someone is
Speaker 1: telling you that they need to sell you sunlight, they
Speaker 1: are having a fucking laugh. Our friend Ben Greenfield advocates
Speaker 1: a quote that advocates that you spend the big bucks
Speaker 1: on Drew Lest you quote fry your balls to a
Speaker 1: crisp with a cheap knockoff. You wouldn't want to do that,
Speaker 1: would you. Unwise? Yeah, it seems like it's maybe a
Speaker 1: bad idea. I can teach you how to how to
Speaker 1: how to cook your balls safely without spending any money
Speaker 1: at all. Get a pair of double A batteries. Take
Speaker 1: them right out of your out of your your your
Speaker 1: your your remote control. You stick the active end in
Speaker 1: a bottle of water, and then you put your hand
Speaker 1: on your testicles and you're it'll it'll complete the circuit
Speaker 1: and power your testicles up with electricity, which you can
Speaker 1: then ejaculate instead of come. They'll probably give you superpowers
Speaker 1: to almost certainly garrison. Legally, this is not a recommendation
Speaker 1: to do this. If you do this, that shit's not
Speaker 1: on uslition. Please can batteries you dick to quote that
Speaker 1: JMIR study evaluating the public's interest into secular tanning quote.
Speaker 1: The interest in this topic may be partially explained by
Speaker 1: the men's attention and advertising men's sexual health and homeown
Speaker 1: replacement or homeown enhancing therapies receive in the US. Although
Speaker 1: subsequent media coverage largely disfavored to secular tanning due to
Speaker 1: lacking evidence and potential dangers, other health influencers came to
Speaker 1: defend and encourage the practice of testicular tanning, specifically by
Speaker 1: using UV light as an unquote. As an example, here
Speaker 1: is a clip from fitness YouTuber Elliott Hulsey's Strength Camp
Speaker 1: with one point seven million followers, blast your balls with
Speaker 1: sunshine to increase testosterone. That you can drop your draws
Speaker 1: and let your balls get kissed by the sun, or
Speaker 1: you can try one of these light panels to roast
Speaker 1: by nuts and be more manly. Nineteen thirty nine studies
Speaker 1: suggests that UV light exposure to your testicles increases sestosterone
Speaker 1: by two. You want to join me in this experiment,
Speaker 1: We could find one of these bad boys at cozyhealth
Speaker 1: dot com. Then just go to personal labs dot com,
Speaker 1: get your blood tested, get your testosterone. Then after eight
Speaker 1: to twelve weeks check it again and find out if
Speaker 1: the nut rusting really works. So this whole idea goes
Speaker 1: back to this one nineteen thirty nine, studies eighteen thirty nine. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: lots of good chience in nineteen thirty nine. And if
Speaker 1: there's one thing I trust its sides from nineteen thirty nine. Yep,
Speaker 1: got any comments on race in this study. So this
Speaker 1: study was published in the journal Endercnology, and it found
Speaker 1: that frequent UV irritation to the genitals increased urinary and
Speaker 1: drosterone metabolite of testosterone increases levels by nearly two hundred
Speaker 1: percent quote unquote. Now you'll be shocked to learn that
Speaker 1: there may be problems with this study. Guess how many
Speaker 1: test subjects were included in this In this study, I'm
Speaker 1: going to be generous eight, So Mia says eight, James
Speaker 1: and Greenfield just one. One. You say one, Robert, how
Speaker 1: many how many do you think are in the study? Geez?
Speaker 1: I think like seven was sacred to the Nazi, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that five. A grand total of five
Speaker 1: people are in the study. Wow, I give too much credit.
Speaker 1: They had to pick the sacred discordion number bullshit. Three
Speaker 1: of them are fifty four years old and have manic
Speaker 1: depressive psychosis. The other two are twenty Honestly, not a
Speaker 1: bad representative sample for Tucker's audience. I was about to
Speaker 1: say the same thing, just actually who watches to show
Speaker 1: The other two are twenty eight and forty five and
Speaker 1: have a quote psychopathia with depressive features, which is very
Speaker 1: against old timey term everyone on Twitter, etcetera, etcetera. But
Speaker 1: I think what actually happened is I think they did
Speaker 1: this study at an asylum and just found people with
Speaker 1: depressive psychosis to do the study on it. It's just
Speaker 1: these five, these five friend of people. Um, No, no
Speaker 1: individual graft results were produced. It only showed the quote
Speaker 1: unquote typical reaction and there wasn't even a control group
Speaker 1: for the study. Not to mention, there's many problems with
Speaker 1: like measuring to stosterone in the first place, because it
Speaker 1: changes broadly day to day and by age, and it's
Speaker 1: very kind of unreliable. Um to quote the jmi R
Speaker 1: study again quote beyond this questionable study, research has shown
Speaker 1: that exposure to UV radiation may increase sex steroid hormone levels. However,
Speaker 1: these studies either do not include human participants or do
Speaker 1: not specifically evaluate UV radiation exposure to the genitals. There
Speaker 1: is there is not a single other study since then
Speaker 1: that has done anything resembling like peer reviewed science. You
Speaker 1: know why everybody go to go to go fund me,
Speaker 1: help cool own determine whether or not testical tanning works.
Speaker 1: And we'll get that control group. Well, okay, so what
Speaker 1: my mile question about this? Aren't aren't all these people
Speaker 1: getting fucking ball cancer? We are? Okay, we are about
Speaker 1: to get to that, because yes, you may think that
Speaker 1: shining you fee lights on your bulls might have some
Speaker 1: long term problems. Yeah, it's great that long soundstrants come
Speaker 1: back to the episode again. So Vice interviewed Seth Cohen,
Speaker 1: a urologist and the director of the Sexual Dysfunction Program
Speaker 1: at NYU Lengden Health. Quote. I'm not aware of any
Speaker 1: science or data or any journal publications proving that red
Speaker 1: light therapy improves meltostosterone and quote we change recommendations on
Speaker 1: medical therapies based on a double blind, placebo controlled randomized trials,
Speaker 1: large studies with thousands of patients. That's where you'll find
Speaker 1: if there's any really statistical significance between red light therapy
Speaker 1: and a placebo. Could these men who underwent red light
Speaker 1: the rape and came out and felt stronger and more manly?
Speaker 1: Could they could that have been a placebo effect? Of
Speaker 1: course it could unquote So and as Mia mentioned, we
Speaker 1: have not really even gotten into the potential dangers yet.
Speaker 1: Close direct heat to your testicles actually damages sperm count
Speaker 1: on top of the risk of giving yourself ball cancer
Speaker 1: by blasting concentrated UV light on your genitals for twenty
Speaker 1: minutes a day, every day of the week, which is
Speaker 1: what is recommended to quote to quote that study one
Speaker 1: last time quote. Research shows that excessive exposure to UV
Speaker 1: radiation may lead to higher rates of genital tumor formation
Speaker 1: and decreased sperm counts, as spermo to genesis is temperature dependent. Thus,
Speaker 1: given the current obsession with optimizing male hormone levels, the
Speaker 1: high cost of red light therapy, and misleading information labeling
Speaker 1: of testicular tanning by prominent influencers, there may be an
Speaker 1: increase in men exposing themselves to UV radiation and developing
Speaker 1: associated complications. Un Right, heroic, So guys, almost done here.
Speaker 1: But man, it's pretty it's pretty funny that all of
Speaker 1: the worst people you know, are gonna get ball cancer? Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't stop him. Yeah. I you know, there was a
Speaker 1: period of time in my life when I had said
Speaker 1: where I will never wish cancer on anybody. But if
Speaker 1: you are deliberately exposing your testicles for the sun, to
Speaker 1: the sun and the hope of getting superpowers because of
Speaker 1: Nazi science, it's okay. It's it's okay, Like I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna mourn that. To be fair, that thirty nine study
Speaker 1: was from the United States, so it talking about the
Speaker 1: other Nazi science. Oh yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah, um.
Speaker 1: And I think I think of a part of this
Speaker 1: whole narrative of like the total collapse of men's distosterone levels,
Speaker 1: as as Tucker puts it, Man, I fucking wish, yeah
Speaker 1: so much. But I think this is more about men
Speaker 1: in power feeling that their position of assumed superiority is
Speaker 1: being threatened. Really, all of our quack science and conspiracy
Speaker 1: theory stories today all revolve around this, like subliminal dog whistle.
Speaker 1: It's no mistake that Tucker titled his program the End
Speaker 1: of Men. In all the stories we're covering today, it
Speaker 1: is the fear of emasculation that is the hook used
Speaker 1: to drum up fear and anger about how liberal feminism
Speaker 1: is eroding manhood. It targets some of young men's sexual
Speaker 1: insecurities while promoting this like anti woke return to the
Speaker 1: old ways of rugged masculinity. Yeah, I might add, because
Speaker 1: I think you're missing one aspect of it. I think
Speaker 1: you're identifying what he's signaling to his listeners and what
Speaker 1: they get out of it. But I also think that
Speaker 1: what he and the other folks who are kind of
Speaker 1: in positions of power and influence in the right get
Speaker 1: out of this because they're not They don't believe this,
Speaker 1: they're not actually motivated by that. Now what this is
Speaker 1: and what because because we do not know specifically why,
Speaker 1: like testosterone rates, maybe lower white sperm counts are definitely lower,
Speaker 1: but it likely has to do with a massive variety
Speaker 1: of industrial pollutants in the environment, and with the fact
Speaker 1: that industrial agriculture and the process nature of a lot
Speaker 1: of our foods is having a negative impact on all
Speaker 1: of these things, like it's consequences of capitalism, right, and
Speaker 1: because the consequences are getting increasingly hard to ignore, the
Speaker 1: thing that people like that need to do is find
Speaker 1: either a cure for them or another way to blame
Speaker 1: or another thing to blame them on right. And so
Speaker 1: if the aspect the things that are horribly unhealthy about
Speaker 1: the society that we have built is causing men to
Speaker 1: suffer consequences in their bodies, the thing to do on
Speaker 1: the right is to blame that shit on the liberals
Speaker 1: emasculating men. And the solution is whatever kind of shit
Speaker 1: we can sell you, right, Like, that's what's going on here,
Speaker 1: that's the motivation. And it happens outside of like and
Speaker 1: shit too, like. That's all the right has anymore. Like
Speaker 1: their their economic theories have been proven disastrously wrong. They
Speaker 1: have no actual ability to govern in a meaningful way
Speaker 1: other than by causing harm to people. So it's entirely
Speaker 1: about taking the consequences of the world that they advocate
Speaker 1: and blaming them on someone else and selling you snake
Speaker 1: oil to deal with it. Yeah, exactly, And so that
Speaker 1: is that. That is most of the of the testicular
Speaker 1: tanning fun that I got into. We haven't even covered
Speaker 1: all the things to date. In twenty seventeen, we'll get
Speaker 1: back on this subject. But it is time for us
Speaker 1: to end. This is already over an hour, So I
Speaker 1: want to leave you all, all of you, all of
Speaker 1: you beautiful. First, I want to thank all of our
Speaker 1: beautiful correspondence for their research, and I want to leave
Speaker 1: all of you with this simple piece of advice. If
Speaker 1: you feel like your testicles aren't getting enough solar radiation,
Speaker 1: simply purchase a glass cutter in an old microwave, cut
Speaker 1: a circular their hole in the microwave, and you bag
Speaker 1: it while it's on. You'll be okay. That is our
Speaker 1: legally binding health advice. That's the end of the episode.
