And it occurred to me like in fairness to this movie, I can see how porn could be destructive
if you literally don't know how emotion picture works.
It's like, if you do not have the like level of cognitive awareness to like understand
that the thing in the box is a deal.
Yeah, so that giant penis is about to come on me, yeah. It's just a Mormon watching Oculus Quest porn for the first time batting away.
Get out of my house!
Not awful.

Welcome back. Thanks Noah. Just watching some porn in a dark alley. Are we doing that?
That is where the porn lives. And of course, sitting 900 miles to my northeast is my
bad friend Eli Bosnick Eli. How are you this fine afternoon, sir?
Not great. I was doing this dance for Heath and this alley.
He's completely distracted.
I need you to commit to the moment, Eli.
Get out.
I'm giving it my all.
I'm starting to feel like you were charging the company for a lot of outfits that weren't
just for the live shows, Eli.
I'm not having this fight on air.
The legitimate business expense.
No, I thank you.
That's true.
That's true.
All right.
And of course joining us tonight is a Jewish guy who was hiding his real name even before we elected a Nazi
as our president. Moishi, welcome back to the show, sir. Been too long. Thank you so good to be here.
Great to have you again. All right. So tell us, Heath, what will we be breaking down today?
We watched pornography. You bet your ass. Great. Oh, lie.
pornography. You bet your ass. Great. Oh lie.
It's a Mormon propaganda movie about the dangers of heroin. And it just got ADR to say
porn instead of heroin. Right. For this version, they changed nothing else at all. It's
just a remake of something else they made. Now it's about porn. It's just, yeah, like they
do. They had to cut out the scene where the chick jumped out the window, but that's it. Yeah.
And Eli how bad was this movie?
Well, if you hate pornography, but of course you haven't seen any
because of course you haven't seen any. You will love this informational film.
I've seen videos on how to fight big foot with more specific
informational film. I've seen videos on how to fight big foot with more specific things.
And there's
movie. It's pretty good. You got to get inside its guard. It's the same way it's
porn too. Just like fair.
So okay, I have a theory of how this came to be. So I feel like I think that the producer
of this film is the guy whose wife appears in this film talking about her terrible porn addicted husband,
you know the one that they like fucking FBI inform and doubt and change her voice and everything.
I think that that lady caught her husband watching porn and she was gonna make a big
whole thing about it and he was never gonna get laid again and then he like he made this video as a
way to trick her into thinking that he was taking that porn addiction thing super serious and wasn't watching it anymore right? Because this whole fucking movie has this feeling of like, uh, well,
you know, porn is really bad because there are hurts. The people with who have the pain.
All right, so is there anything you guys want to nominate this one for being the best
to be the worst at?
Yes, I would. I'm going to go with best worst pop scare.
Oh, yeah. At one point, they're trying to explain how the porn industry, it's giant
lumenodic corporation run by Lex Luthore. Yeah. But then they show us this super basic
office. It's just like four people modest business attire and they're
looking at spreadsheets in a conference room. And that's the pop scare. I just described
it. Like you get the evil photo negative thing for a second, but we're just looking at
fucking Steve from accounting wearing pleated dockers. And it's like, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I assume you were talking about that at the beginning when they like the porn is outside lurking
around our house and you see the porn walk by very quickly. That was that's what I assumed
you meant, but yeah, no, that was also what's the good one?
See, that's not pop scare. That's hitchhiking and drama.
Yeah, absolutely. This is movies a lot like a Hitchcock.
Yeah, I know a very Hitchcockian. That was the, that was, I really found it in the style of
Fellini. Oh, we can debate it.
Oh, Hitchcock is actually one of my favorite titles. Anyway, go ahead.
I enjoyed it as much as I enjoy Fellini films.
Well, yeah, okay. No, that's fair. No, well, honestly, no, because this one was 22 minutes
long, but yes, I get what you mean. Yeah. Will Smith is in that movie
hitchcock. I will nominate this for best worst episode of How It's Made. I have never
been on a porn set. I have seen a lot of what I have been assured is genuine behind the scenes footage. Yeah.
It looks trust me.
Anybody who's like done VR porn and looked around a little bit can tell you this is not
what the sad looks like.
I'm born.
They oversell it.
Yeah.
Apparently on Patreon, given a lot of money and getting a lot of weird extras on porn
sets, but not actually going there.
You get footage, I guess.
Well, right, no, that's at the $10 level.
This, we actually get the level, man.
Who is this?
S***.
Yeah, a s***.
C'mon, man.
Sounds like a pervert to me.
S***.
Eli, oh, it's not a thing.
Fucking creep.
I'll tell you what, his cell phone number isn't.
All right, so I'm going to go with best worst lies, right?
Which I mean, if this movie doesn't have the best lies that we've seen and it doesn't
have the worst lies we've seen, but like it's built, it's called, you know, pornography
to great lie.
And it's built around this whole like, you know, we're going to tell you one of the lies
that pornography tells you that we're going to be like debunked that lie or whatever.
But they can only come up with two lies, both of which are true.
By the way, one is that you can't be addicted to pornography and the other is that watching
porn doesn't harm you.
But that's all they can come up with.
And they had to keep coming up with different ways of rephrasing those same two things over
and over.
So it seemed like they had a bunch.
I actually wrote down on my notes at one point, I could quit porn anytime I want.
And then moments later, that exact phrase popped up on the screen and they seriously were
saying that.
See, I was going to go with best worst unresolved plot strands. So as Noah mentioned,
there are like interviews, interspersed throughout the movie, but they're actors playing interviews.
They're not actual interviews. They're actors playing them. And people in these interviews
will casually mention the consequences they endured for looking at porn. And based on
those consequences, either someone super overreacted to porn or
these dudes were not watching Brazzar.
They had to install a thing on their computer to get the porn they were watching.
Yeah, right.
Right thing I was talking about, like 31 years later, the porn still echoes in my mind.
Well, here's the thing, we found one of the guys admits to buying porn, like with his
money.
So we already, that's all, he's already taken the first step towards that.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Yeah, that's true.
Guys getting his arm chopped off with a saw like, we're in for a dream by the end of
the thing.
It's absurd.
Yeah, the consequences they come up with.
It is a small step from like entering your credit card number to just like watching a dog fuck a woman's skull.
No, yeah.
That's what they say. At least it was for me.
That's the old adage. That's why you became a $10 patron. I get it.
Yeah, there you go. All right.
Well, I'll tell you what I don't know about you guys, but all this talk about a dog fucking a woman skull makes
me need a quick break, but we'll be back for the refractory period and pornography.
The Great Lie.
That porn's really rough.
So you've heard us talking about hymns and how they're helping guys look their best.
If you haven't yet, it's time to see what they're all about.
66% of men start to lose their hair by age 35. Once you started noticing thinning hair,
it could be too late, but the best way to prevent hair loss is to do something about it while
you still have some. And that's where 4hymns.com comes in. They offer a one-stop shop for hair
loss, skin care, and sexual wellness for men.
Himmels is helping guys be the best version of themselves with licensed physicians and
FDA-approved products to help treat hair loss.
No snake oil pills or gas station counter supplements, prescription solutions backed by science.
And right now, our listeners can get started with their first month free.
Go to forehims.com slash gam.
That's forehims.com slash gam. That's forehims.com slash gam.
Prescription of regards and online consultation with a physician will determine
a prescription is appropriate. Offer ballot only a prescribed three months minimum
subscription, additional restrictions, apply C website for full details and important
safety information. Remember that's forehims.com slash gam.
All right everyone, welcome to the first writers room meeting of pornography the great lie
Praise his name indeed
What hi him?
Yeah, I don't think there's a believable universe where I'm not Jewish so I decided to just kind of be okay
Yeah, that's okay now look this information of film is going to save hundreds if not millions of souls from the
Clutches of pornography.
So we've really got to nail this one.
Sure. Got a nail. Absolutely. Yeah. But of course, none of us here have ever watched pornography.
Question we haven't? No, we haven't. Right. Of course we have. Yes.
Yeah.
I certainly have not myself.
Yeah.
Me neither.
Exactly.
Well, all right.
Exactly.
So given all of that, it's going to be extra hard for us to write this thing.
Oh, right.
Because because we've never watched it.
And yeah, right.
And we need the people who watched this movie to know we've never watched it.
Right, of course, of course.
So what are people who've never watched pornography know about pornography?
Which is us, you're talking about us.
Absolutely, no, no, no, no.
In reality.
Oh, oh, well, we know it has lights.
And the camera, that's it, the camera.
Great.
And the women are attractive.
Do we know that?
Would we?
I don't think we know that.
Oh, I was just kind of assuming,
okay, the women get paid, right?
Sure, sure.
I mean, except for the amateurs, I mean, right, yeah, of course.
And that's like a ton of porn amateurs.
I heard.
I would also have heard that.
Yes.
Yep, but I feel like it's always weird when there's very obviously just the one person's
they're trying to shoot 45 different porn's using the same dildo.
Yes, I hate that.
You mean you both heard that you don't like that.
Yep, we did.
Yep, correct.
You said, yep.
Right, just we never watched porn.
Oh, exactly, exactly.
Right, well, lights, camera, people get paid.
I think we've got enough.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, we make two movies with all that.
Fantastic.
All right, we'll shoot movies with all that. Fantastic. All right.
We'll shoot the entire thing on Monday.
Really?
You don't like to sell out a camera stuff, huh?
No, no, I do.
I do, but just don't do a weird little one act play with your dildo.
You know what I'm talking about?
You do that thing.
Yeah, that's there.
I heard.
I, yep.
I heard.
I think that's fair too.
And we're back and we're going to start off with this weird warning about how they employed
actors and not real former pornography users.
They didn't soil their hands with those people.
These scenes have been recreated to protect confidentiality is what it says.
So like, I'm thinking, like as a joke, I'm thinking like, oh, these
Mormons watch porn. So they're going to be blurred out like FBI and form and stuff.
How silly would that be? They literally are. They literally are. The great irony is that
I will bet $1,000 that at least one of these actors has appeared in porn. Oh, sure.
Oh, I want to know what it is. No fucking shot.
The fucking Sally.
They got off Craigslist hasn't sucked a dick on camera.
Yeah, no, and we really need the like the split screen on that.
We absolutely need the split screen there.
I want to do a deep dive of all their IMDb is torn on IMDb.
No, no, I don't think he'd be that up.
There's an IP DB, I think.
I'm sure there is.
I've heard.
All right, so the camera opens up and we're looking at this house and it's in the suburbs
or whatever and the family that's just all so in and everything.
And there's a, we're getting like creeper camera, right?
Serial killer camera perspective.
Yeah, here we see pornography stalking another victim.
I just wanted to say like if Riley
Reed had jumped out of those bushes and stabbed, they got to get this. It's my favorite movie.
They look at the window. It's just Michael Myers masturbating in the yard just wearing the
mask and nothing. My note on this intro is this is a weird episode of Buffy.
See, I wanted the Michael Myers theme to start playing on sweet sax. So it's just but but on sax. So it's like, boy, I'm on, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, a serial killer thing ran out. I mean, to be fair, there is no better genre for this film, then horror porn.
Yeah.
I'm just saying it is horror porn. I'm just saying there's no better category at blockbuster
for it.
That's true.
All right.
And so the narrator, as we're watching, this is coming in with these ridiculously loaded
questions. It's like, if you thought your family was in danger, would you do something about it,
or would you just sit there and watch like a little bitch?
Right, like, I mean, you might as well
and just been like, what does YES spell?
You know, okay?
Fuck you.
But like, apparently what he's,
and then as this is happening,
as you're saying all of this shit,
we watch all the kids go to bed,
like all of their rooms, apparently apparently everyone in the house goes off to
Presumably watch porn
Fucking night time night night night by everybody's statter
I just want to know what internet provider this family has
provider this family has. What the fuck?
What are they telling?
Did they're all fucking streaming bang pros at the same time?
Hey, hey, everybody go down to 720p.
We agree.
720.
But genuinely, what do you think the end of dinner was like?
Were they all just like, well, time for bed?
Yeah.
Right?
I too shall go to bed now.
All at the same time. Can we be
excused? We all said that really
loud together. I don't know about
you guys, but I'm that kind of
antsy when you haven't jerked
off all day.
So.
Well, and it look if this movie
was trying to make the argument
that masturbation is a fun family
activity. You know what I don't
like with this jokes go and never mind. I'm in a back and up. I'm in a back and up.
They are Mormons. They are Mormons. I did like they showed it was, well, I didn't like,
you know what? Good point. I might abandon this too. No, I'm going to explain what I was
just thinking. The brother and sister are shown back to back, not physically back to
back. But like back to back. You're really fucked out pastry here.
Yeah.
I feel like my words keep getting twisted.
No, they show in separate shots, but right next to each other, the brother going to his
room and sister going to her room.
And I wanted them to just like walk back out of their room slowly, be like, hey, so
were step siblings, right?
I was watching.
I was watching.
It's crazy. the word step siblings, right? I was watching. I was watching the dude.
It was crazy.
It's weird how they surprised you with that relationship like a third of the way through
the movie, right?
It is weird that they constantly.
I'd love if they did that up front.
Okay.
So here's a weird one for the narrator the whole time.
He's still going like, you know, if someone was about to saw your children's ears off with
an ax, you know, whatever.
And he comes across one that I've found actually found kind of interesting.
He says, if someone was going to steal your soul, would you stand by and let them take
it? And to me, that is a fascinating moral dilemma.
Right.
Like if somebody attempts to steal my Vortals sword, have they committed a crime?
That's, you should get Andrew
on for that one. I also really appreciated just the like, someone's gonna steal your soul,
take this serious, we're adults, Stone.
Well, yeah, the thing, this film teeter's dangerously close to making salient points like,
that's the re times, I think so. I think it caught me like, there was like one moment
where it was like watching
too much porn can give you unrealistic expectations of sex. I was like, oh, yeah, no, I buy
that and it'll make your soul devil food. And I was like, yeah, I'll tell you what one
that really cracked me up. And I should explain to the listeners that were recording this
right in the middle of the beginning a couple of weeks of this coronavirus lockdown is where the narrator says, if all the people
you hold dear are in danger, would you sit by and do nothing? And I'm like, no, no, they'd
go to the goddamn bar and shit. I'm here with your people.
And George. Yeah. But they're saying horn will steal your soul. That's their first message in this
movie. Yep. And I just want to see like Satan slide in a hustler across the table to
somebody like, all right, one soul. This is right back off the table in one minute. This
is my offer. And then okay. So then he starts talking about how like back in the day
you used to have to like really go looking for porn.
You had to get it back in in his words in dark alleyways and hidden places.
No, you did not.
They sold it at the pigly wiggly.
Yeah.
Okay.
We, I think we can all agree.
This narrator was doing some absurd things in his life before
he made this movie, including apparently finding porn in dark alleys.
Before the internet, the only way you could get porn was putting the man he had in the
urinal.
Okay, nice.
He's trying to buy porn news in the drug handshake.
Hello, sir. Today, stop it. Stop doing it. The whole magazine. It's a very like you can't palm this.
This is dumb. Stop going under the
leg. Stop going under the leg.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, show him to you and you'd be like, hey, you're trying to molest me
and you'd be like, what?
It's crazy.
I was just doing that.
You're trying to molest me.
All of a sudden, the lights go on in the alley, catch a predator guy walks up.
Oh, get out of here.
He said, he said, this is a dark alleyway.
Damn you.
He goes the guy, the narrator says, but today there's no way to escape.
But I'm like, let me hear Lucinda coming upstairs. Find out how quickly I can fucking escape it.
All right.
You she's light on her feet.
Well, because he's like the porn can come to your home.
The porn can come to your office.
And I was like, okay, so far this is just a great ad for porn.
You're not selling me away from it. All I will say though, because they put down this list of like, you know and I was like, okay, so far this is just a great ad for porn. You're not selling me away from it.
All of a sudden, I will say though,
because they put down this list of like,
you know, they're like, oh, back in the day,
you had to go somewhere to like actually
to some like CD shop and buy the porn,
but now you can get it.
And he goes up on this list and I was impressed
because it's an honest list.
I'm like, well, that's, that's a lot of fun.
We do have a lot of porn.
There are so many options.
It's a good deal. I do have a lot of porn. There are so many options. It's a good deal.
I wanted him to get, I wanted him to get weirdly specific.
You can get in it.
Jerry's Bo Dagon 47th and 6th Avenue.
Sometimes if you buy a Lucy cigarette, he'll let you go into the booth for free.
He also says that porn is a phone call away.
Yeah, what?
Is there an order porn by phone service?
That's a 900 number, is he, right?
Oh, right, but that's not right.
That's porn, that's phone sex.
That's totally different.
That's porn to Mormons, my friends.
That's like walking into a strip club and being like,
this, look at all this porn.
It's porn.
We're just making our podcast here at this strip club.
It's all audio.
It's fine.
Yeah.
Okay, a question about this movie's knowledge.
They keep using the phrasing.
It can come where you work.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
I don't think the movie knows that come means come.
I don't think they know about that.
No, they do not.
No, they do not.
No relationship.
Or they're pretending not to.
All right, there is one moment in this movie that makes me think that maybe they do,
maybe this was all a set up by some of the most brilliant comic minds of all time.
Oh, it's a beautiful clothes on that.
So, but yeah, now we get the title screen.
And underneath it, we hear a little snippets of former porn users lamenting the day that
porn stole their souls and whatnot. One guy says that porn made him angry. And I'm
like, Hey, buddy, you're doing porn you? I only know one person who porn could make angry,
but that's because everything can make him angry.
That's weird.
All right.
No, I just want to watch that guy masturbate
and then fly into a murderous rage.
Very obvious who her daddy is.
And I mean Noah.
There are so many moments in this where it's just clear
they're doing porn wrong.
And it's just like, you just showed them like three little tricks for your porn time. They'd be having a way better time.
And this is where we get a heath spes worse right because the narrator says pornography is big business and we see what appear to be like the fucking
anchors for the evening porn walk in through an office. Oh, God, I love porn office and I want
I wrote and deleted so many sitcoms about porn office
It's so it's so good. There's a table. Oh
That was what that was my fate fate. They decided they were like,
we need to characterize evil porn conglomerate.
Yes.
And they put a pool table in the office like,
right straight out of the music man,
like with a capital T, that rhymes with P,
that stands for porn pool.
Both.
Porn is pooled.
It looks like a great work environment.
It's weird. It does. It does. It environment. It's weird.
It does.
It does.
Yeah.
The industry somehow look better.
Like the weird hormones behind this literally couldn't picture, Ron Jeremy if they tried to.
Right.
It's like, I don't know the guys in the bank.
Yeah, right, right.
No, they had though they had all the little the clear the glass walls to build trust amongst
the team and everything.
They actually made all it like you could watch this and just go like, I'd walls to build trust amongst the team and everything. They actually made all of it.
You could watch this and just go like, I'd like to go into porn.
That looks like a very nice one.
I could be in porn doing yoga together just in lunchtime.
It's in a class that they have.
It looks like a bank ran out of ideas for like Q3 and just started filming Asian spit
roasts on the side.
Yep.
Sure.
I mean, we've all been there.
We have all been there.
I loved the thinking that went into making
this porn office multicultural, right?
Because it's by far the most diverse group of people
we see in the movie,
which means at some point they were getting in there
and we're like, all right, so we need to cast the porn office.
Can't all be white people, right?
We should get like a Latino and a, well,
an African American person.
We get a Lamanite representative. It was weird that the Mormons were like, we need
to make sure there's representation in our porn.
Well, I mean, I think you're just going the wrong direction. I think that they like big
casted originally and they're like, guys, they can't be all black people in Latina.
It's got, we got to throw a whitey in there somewhere.
And then we watched them sorting through binders full of women, which was, yes, yes,
yes.
I'm really kind of right on the nose.
Now we know where you got them.
Bunch of headshots.
And I feel like that would mean something else in the porn business, the headshots thing,
but they're looking at literal headshots.
I don't know.
Is that what you would send?
Does anybody know?
Do you send just a normal head shot?
And they're being so respectful.
They're just like, oh, he had, I think he would be good in seeing like, oh, you know,
this one is her eyes doing something.
Right.
Right.
Doing just like the most casual evaluation of these things.
This guy who did several summers at Tanglewood did some things.
And the fucking area of the,
the narrator goes millions of dollars.
You're spent to find ways to better entice people into porn.
I'm like, dude, no one is spending millions of dollars
on the porn that I'm watching.
Okay.
Yeah, to be fair, we got pictures and videos
of people fucking in here has worked forever
and will work it forever. Medium independent.
When they can download knowledge straight into your brain, the third thing it will be is porn.
And also the first two. Yeah, this is my, okay, as he said, this is maybe my favorite bit of
phrasing in the whole fucking movie is where they say that the porn industry is trying to trick you into quote a
World filled with self gratification that will fill their pockets
Need that visual come on guys. I want to know what number you got a call for that
know what number you're going to call for that. All right.
So then we get the first in our series of porn lies, right?
That this movie is ostensibly going to be built around.
So the first lie is one look won't hurt.
And this is where we see, we see like one little boy walking down the street into two
other boys are peer-pressuring him into looking at boobies.
Yeah.
Or whatever. I mean, we're watching a literal at boobies. Yeah. Or whatever.
I mean, we're watching a literal clip from my childhood.
I'm quite certain.
Yes, we're on.
Like you find some, some kid, you know, will in my experience had one porn and we all gathered
in the woods and looked at it for a second and then ran away laughing and pushing each
other into the bushes.
That was, that was how you did porn in the 90s.
All I'm saying is that any kids standing that close together, there's a cookie in the middle of them. That's all,
that's all I'm going to say about that. Yeah, let's make sure that camera doesn't swing
around to the left. Yeah. I mean, we had a cookie, but I was just, I was just eating the
cookie. It wasn't a common thing. You were just waiting. You were just waiting to be done. You guys gonna finish that?
I mean, I'm not, yeah, I'm not gonna jerk off, but I'll eat the cookie.
It was that, yeah.
It was that weird thing though.
You had to, because you're 11 or whatever, and you had to prove constantly, because it
was the 90s and everybody's a fucking bigot.
You had to prove that you weren't gay and it was that weird thing where like, all
right, we're looking at ladies and porn. Are we supposed to get erections? Is it gay
if we don't have erections right now? We didn't know Sheddy.
Sheddy. Sheddy's erections to be safe.
To see what you wanted to tell us might be gay.
It was a lot of pressure. I didn't know whether I was supposed to have one or not. I'm
trying to like tell myself in my head, go away, ere, go away, wreck. It didn't. It's not comfortable.
Yeah. I mean, look, far beyond from us to join the anti PC crew, but I'll say it right now,
something that we've lost in this whole PC culture is watching porn with your buddies and realizing
that you're having a terrible time and you don't know what to do or say. Yes.
Okay.
I didn't lose that in this decade.
We can do that right now, Eli, if you want.
I always found it was best to talk.
Sounds good.
Let's get on a Zoom call.
Best of most, you should have too.
All right, so then the narrator is like,
sure, you think you can stop jerking off whatever you want, but if we, you know, the narrator is like, you know, sure, you think you can
stop jerking off whatever you want, but if you don't finish, it'll mess up your ability
to pee comfortably for a little while.
And this is when we meet the former porn user that tells us about the porn that he saw
once when he was a kid and 31 years later is still haunted by.
This was very upsetting.
This is, I think the narrator again, talking about his absurd dark alley experiences. years later is still haunted by. This was very upsetting.
This is, I think the narrator again, talking about his absurd dark alley experiences.
And this time he's like 11 and he's like, yeah, it was the walking down the sidewalk.
I saw a heavily used porn magazine off to the side of the sidewalk and I picked it up and
I didn't go well.
Didn't go well.
He's doing.
But yeah, 31 years later, I want to watch that porn, right?
Tell us what you saw, man.
I get bored halfway through a clip.
This dude's got 31 years worth of memory
from a magazine page.
I just want to know what crying he committed.
I want them to be like, so what got you in here?
And he's just like, oh, insider trading.
I mean, the porn was definitely a gateway.
Yeah, no, we'll get to that.
But yeah, this guy went to be at a conflict eventually.
I'm pretty sure I still have an old penthouse magazine
from like 1991 somewhere.
I think I still own it.
On times.
Interesting that you would decide to share that with us.
The eighth.
It was from France.
Somebody wanted to France, so that for me.
That's not porn my friend, that's culture.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it was hot.
Thank you.
I do have a lot of questions about who you were as a person that someone went to France
and they were like, I got to get a gift for you.
Yeah, bring.
Yeah, well, that's accurate.
That's what happened. One of my best friends.
All right. So then the narrator cuts into tell us the awful truth, the stuff that you see in
those porn videos, that ain't real at all, y'all. It's not even how sex works. Let's be and stomp jam there, but China's against each other.
And they can't decide whether or not this is a porn shoot or a commercial, because they're
like, porn is just like this commercial shoot.
And so then the girl's like, we have my money for doing porn because like, they forgot
to communicate because the narrator was like, I'm not going to describe my cousin's sister as doing porn. This is a commercial shoot, but they in the actual shoot
pretended that it was a porn. So, right, the just the perspectives are wonky.
Yeah, I don't, I don't think the people involved in that part of the documentary knew what they
were being filmed for. At all. No, I don't think the people who made the documentary were aware, like I
hate to break it to you guys.
That commercial for fucking and
Taylor loft that you had going
here, that was not a porn shoot.
And they get so fucking my dude
on the details.
They're just like makeup can be
used to alter one's appearance.
And it occurred to me like in
fairness to this movie, I can see
how porn could be destructive
if you literally don't know how emotion picture works.
It goes like, if you do not have the level of cognitive awareness
to understand that the thing in the box isn't real.
Yeah, that giant penis is about to come on me, yeah.
It's just a Mormon watching Oculus Quest porn
for the first time batting away.
Get out of my house.
It's fucking wild.
They're talking about how like makeup works.
They're explaining how like you can't see everything outside of the frame of the camera.
They are moments away from being like, this is a lamp without it.
You would even be able to seat this, or a sun.
But the sun.
Well, the guys actual words are pornography is founded on the delusion that what is portrayed
is real.
And I'm like, dude, before I watch this, I watched porn where a woman grew to the size of a
building and shoved a man in her vagina.
Okay.
Oh, giant.
Yeah.
Come on, give me a fucking break.
I have questions. You like jerks off the nine dick demons fucking naughty Japanese cat elves. That's not being portrayed
Did you know porn isn't like that in real life? Those are actors. Yeah, I knew that
This movie could be about pro wrestling without changing anything
It could be heroin pro wrestling you could just words. This movie could be about steamboat Willie.
Like it's literally, it is literally just about
the difference between reality and race and a lot of things.
Yes.
And I love that they thought they were like,
someone kid is gonna be watching this,
and he's gonna be like, well, fuck, now that I know
that he was lighting it, make up,
I'll never watch porn again.
All right, the narrator goes, great effort is taken to make the pornography attractive,
and I'm like, okay, well now I'm gonna close fucking wide open hairy buttholes.com
because it feels like you're judging me.
Are those union fucking carpenters?
You need really?
Honestly, if this is what porn does to them,
Avatar's gonna blow their fucking dick so.
Right.
Right.
Okay, I have one other question about this scene.
There's a waterfall that they make.
There it is.
They don't use what?
They do not.
I need to know how they use that waterfall.
How do, like, so this is supposed to be a porn shoot
and there's this very small waterfall,
but were they gonna like do like camera angle stuff to make it a full-size waterfall?
Or something?
There was also white panels because as we suggested in the sketch that we opened this
episode with no one who made this movie could admit that they'd seen porn and that porn consists of people
putting their bits together. So they were like, Oh, my wife's here. What is porn? I assume
it's a series of white panels and waterfalls. And probably this is not from a last of the
Mohicans porn that I've seen that is not. It is not from Put Your Balls on my chin, Gatch, that is different.
It's a, it's that and it's a lady in a somewhat modest sundress looking into the camera, right?
Huh?
I don't know.
I love you.
Yeah, and we should, we should explain the story of this poor model, right?
Because very clearly, like this model came in because they were, they needed like something that was going to look like a porn set. So they're like, well, you know, we'll
hire a model and bring her in. And then like somewhere along the line when somebody picked
her up from the fucking airport or whatever, they were like, now this is for a Mormon thing
and you're Mormon. So you're going to do it for half price, right? Or something like
that because over and over again, they show shots of this woman turning directly to camera
and saying, Hey, there's a problem with my rate.
Can we, can we settle this real quick before I do any modeling for you people?
And they kept all of that in the movie.
Well, it's either that or they were like, all right, what's really going to turn people
against porn?
I know.
What if they find out the women are only in it for the money. Hahaha. Hahaha.
Have some love for the game.
God damn it.
Yeah, they were literally like, what's the worst thing about porn?
The paperwork.
Hahaha.
How paid everyone is.
Yeah, bureaucracy, am I right?
Hahaha.
It's the lack of passion in the workforce.
I'll tell you.
Where's porn's Meryl Streep, right?
Where's their Danny Trejo doing some student film in the middle of nowhere because he likes
the script?
I'll tell you, he doesn't exist because porn's a great fucking lie.
Put it in the movie.
It's socialist, that's what it is.
The best fucking part is like at the very end, where the narrator tries to like wrap it
all up into one salient point.
And he's like, what you see isn't always the reality.
And they show the before and after.
And it's just her and then her wearing makeup.
That is really fucking cute.
Like, okay, yes.
All of this movie is that once you contour your cheeks, your soul is saved and fucked up.
Just like the horror of Babylon. Well, I'll tell you
what, I think we can all agree that we're incapable of escaping the need to watch porn
right now. So, you know, what, with all of our addictions and whatnot.
That's so bad. You know, we'll take a quick break. And when we come back, we'll dive into
even more pornography, the greatest lie.
Hey folks, just dropping in to tell you about a new podcast that sponsored us this week,
Truth vs Hollywood.
It's a new show from audio boom that looks at movies based on true stories and examines
just how true they are.
Truth vs Hollywood is hosted by podcast veteran David Shen and Joanna Robinson who go into
these movies in-depth.
Not in the, you know, we read the IMDB trivia page for it
way that you're used to us doing on this show. Not only do they do their research, but
they also include excerpts from interviews with writers, journalists, historians, and
people who are really there. Their first episode just debuted and they're opening up on one
of the greatest gangster movies ever made, and thus one of the greatest movies ever made.
Goodfellas. The first episode doesn't even get you through the first act
But I learned a ton and of course I had to go back and watch good fellas again to get ready for the next episode
Anyway, it's a show I'd recommend trying out if you're a fan of movies or of history and maybe some of the great movies
That they're talking about over there can help balance out some of the awful ones that we make you learn about here
Anyway, look for truth versus Hollywood wherever you get podcasts, or check the link in the show notes.
And now, back to the show.
Pfft.
Alright, Jens, the folks can't get enough of this pornography
we're slaying here at pornography age,
but we need ideas.
We're all ideas.
What do you got, fellas?
Give it to me.
Uh-oh, okay.
Uh-oh, what if it's, uh, like, uh, taxi,
and then they fuck.
I love it! Make it its own website.
Okay, I got one.
What if the porn stars pretend to be newscasters
and people, I don't know, they jerk off on them
like while they read the news.
Weirdly specific, but okay, make it happen.
Um, okay, you guys know the show, Pond Stars?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so it's Pawn stars,
but then they fuck. Yeah, damn it. That's a fucking great idea. Right? Pawn stars. Yeah, totally. Absolutely. That's the one. That's the ticket. Everything we just said is a real porn. Yep.
the ticket. Everything we just said is a real porn. Yep. This kid could have been so goddamn long. And we're back in the
opening third of the movie, we discussed the first lie, the one
where it said, you know, one look won't hurt you. And that's
demonstrably true. But now it's time for line number two, which
appears to be two looks won't hurt you. Like, wow, are we
just going to keep going up from there? And yes, hurt you. Like, wow, are we just gonna keep going up from there?
And yes, we are.
Yeah, this is where people start listing the side effects
of porn.
He's like, I started to hate myself.
I had thoughts of suicide.
And I'm like, oh, pretty sure that doesn't have
anything to do with the porn guy.
Okay, I mean, that tracks with Eli,
but that's just anecdotal.
Like, what porn is this guy watching? It's causing suicide, I mean that tracks with Eli, but that's just anecdotal. Like, what porn is this guy watching?
It's close to his suicidal thoughts.
Well, but it's not, look, it's the fucking religion, right?
That's the problem.
He's like, I hated myself for being hypocritical.
And I'm like, well, yeah, so you could either give up porn
or give up being a hypocrite.
Yeah, you don't have to like watch porn in public
to stop being a hypocrite.
You can just admit that you watch porn in private.
Yeah, you know how everyone takes aspirin and everyone's head, it goes away, but you watch
porn and you want to kill yourself.
You get what I'm saying.
It's not a universal thing.
Jesus.
And then I guess we've done with that like because we move quickly to our next lie, which
is it's not a big deal.
Right?
And this is where we hear from a woman who ruined and otherwise seemingly functional
relationship because she found out that he'd watched porn.
Yeah, it wasn't until I threatened to divorce him that he agreed to make a change.
Yeah.
He's just like, oh, you know what I just realized now that you get half my shit and take
my children away from me, I have an illness.
Don't Google it.
You can't Google it.
It's real.
It's very real.
The best part is that like they shoot it with just him and his family like playing on
a swing set.
And then like when he loses his family, they disappear and he's just on the swing.
Like he's just the weird porn watching ghost of the playground forever now.
Hey, Dave, I heard your wife kick Jada the house.
Yeah, but you know, I live on this swing.
Three country can't stop me from coming to this playground.
Is this where he shows back up at his house and he's got his golf bag?
Yeah, the wife is like, I know you weren't fucking golfing.
You're watching porn at the country club and like throws it in his face. Like she, like she unzips the golf bag and
me a caliph of pops out. She just grabs me a caliph and throws her at his face. Yeah. I
don't know what they're going for here. Yeah. They have this fucking big porn fight reenactment.
And they also they sneak in another of the
lies at this point that it comes up on screen and says, lie, I can stop any time. And
again, yeah, you want to go all the way through it. Just don't just stop in the middle.
That's uncomfortable. This is where they say that pornography is just as bad as drugs.
So I wrote in my notes question, if you suck a dick for porn, do you still need
it? The dick or the porn?
Um, all right. So here, okay. And then we get the moment that convinces me that just maybe,
maybe this is the product of the greatest comic genius that has ever and will ever live,
right?
Oh, yeah.
Because this is the part where the narrator goes like, you know, they have to put warnings
on cigarettes and, you know, bleach and shit.
What warning would they put on porn?
And as he say in that, we're panning over like, we got an extreme close up on some warning,
right, on some chemical or something like that.
But the little snippets we see could not have been more brilliantly chosen for their comic of fact. Here's what
we get. I shit you not blindness if swallowed, right? Contains petroleum disillusionment.
Yep. I saw that one. What are we talking about motor oil? I don't know.
Well, maybe because also we had if skin irritation develops in case of eye contact, continue
rinsing eyes for dot, dot, dot.
And finally, the fucking David Caradine special, if ventilation is inadequate dot, dot, dot. Oh man, it seems like they answered their own questions.
Yeah, right exactly.
That is some next level accidental.
You were right.
Was that Agent Orange?
I can't.
I'm trying to figure out what they're describing there.
I mean, to be fair, you shouldn't rub porn in your eyes.
No, you shouldn't.
No.
He's just going through everything in his home right now.
Just like, what the fuck is the truth? What would that be?
All right. And then the movie lays down a few more of those consequences of porn watching.
We've hear from a guy, again, not a problem with porn here. We hear from a guy who is ex-communicated
from his church. And in his words words almost lost his marriage because of the
porn.
He wasn't allowed in the church where his daughter is wedding.
Yes, yes, I just got to say that.
That was an awkward wedding.
Steve Wallacher, thank you so much for coming.
Are you kidding me?
Me and the family wouldn't miss Denise's special day.
Well, it means the world to us that you came.
Oh, well, yeah, absolutely.
All right, well, we'll see you in there.
Well, sorry, what?
Well, what?
You won't, you won't actually see me in there.
I'm not, not going to be in the wedding.
But you're, but you're right here. What, what here what you're not gonna be in your daughter's wedding
Yeah, free not what why not
Well
porn
I'm sorry. I'm sorry porn
pornography. Yeah, my wife caught me watching some pornography. And so now I just got a,
get away outside, but take lots of pictures though, because I can't wait to see my little
girl get married on the pictures and videos.
Okay, wow, I'm, I'm super sorry to hear that. Yep. Yeah, me too. Me, me too. What kind
of porn was it? I said Asian lady newscaster porn.
Asian lady newscaster porn. Sure. Yeah. Got it. Yeah.
All right. Well, we'll see you at the reception.
Yeah. You'll see you there.
I mean, I think that would have had to happen, right?
Is what they're trying to sell us? Yes.
That's when you drop in through the ceiling like mission impossible. What had to happen, right? Is what they're trying to sell us, yes.
That's when you drop in through the ceiling, like mission impossible. And yeah,
fuck you, mission impossible.
All right.
And then we hear from several youngsters who got roped in by the poems.
You know, we hear a bunch of little like one sentence snippets from kids saying stuff.
Like I sure wish my parents had invaded my privacy more, you know, it's it's so bad. I stopped
praying and going to church, you know, all of that shit.
I want to talk about my favorite one here, which is the kid who was like, I was checking
on my email and I saw a username. I didn't recognize and I just wanted to pick, I wanted to flash cut to this kid's room where he was like, I don't know anyone named, come on my face 69.
But I guess I'll open it up and see.
My favorite was the Cartman looking kid
who was just like, there was,
because all the other kids were apologetic
and then this one fucking kid just looks straight
into the camera and was like, yeah, I watched it.
Fuck you want.
Yes.
Yes.
You remember this kid? I'm not misremembering this. Yeah, I grabed. Fuck you want. Yes. Yes. You remember this kid?
I'm not even misremembering this.
Yeah, I grabed my feet into a fucking couch.
Yeah.
I think his exact line was more just like, all the kids were watching it.
What's the big deal?
But he said it with this tone.
This kid's going places.
Probably therapy and eventually suicide.
But honestly, that is the best outcome any of those kids are getting. Also, Noah, you mentioned this briefly, but the porn made one kid not want to go
to church. What weird, new atheist porn have I been missing out on? And if I haven't
been missing out on it, Ken, we start making it right. Yeah, exactly. That's the right
question. Yeah, I also want to see Richard Dawkins and porn., right, right, right. Exactly. That's the right question. Yeah. I also
want to see Richard Dawkins and porn. I agree with you. You've never seen all those videos
of Sam Harris sucking his own dick. That's very sad. They're all I can find on YouTube.
I was I'm just saying Anthony Magnabasco is already cameraed up for a porn all I have to
do is catch him in an agreeable mood and we can make this shot wrap and ski to epistemology.
Well, though, fantastic.
All right.
And so then we, oh, so we cut back to that guy who's still haunted by the 1985 40 saw as
again and do a spread.
There was a lot of bush back then.
It was pretty scary and he
tells the his porn anecdote you know this is the one where he's talking about like you know I was
going to get the porn in my five year old asked me where I was going and I couldn't just get say
you know I'm going to get porn's I'd lie to him right that's that's the terrible consequence
of porn okay actually I don't think he lies to him.
He just drives away.
He's like, I couldn't tell him the truth,
but he's not like, dad, he's going to the supermarket,
go back inside.
He just like, stairs the kid down and floors it.
Yeah.
He just leaves the fucking kid in the driveway.
That's what they show us. but I'm quite certain this guy literally got caught masturbating
in his car by his five year old son.
You're right.
Yeah.
I think it was like, can you come to my T-ball game and he's like, it's buffering.
Go away.
It's a fucking room with you.
Or if not, and he did just drive away during hard eye contact, you know that five year old, like watched him pull out of the drive and was like, he's getting
to porn. I'm going to look at pieces of paper when I say I didn't for a living. You watch.
He says he didn't care who he hurt with his porn anymore. He was willing to run errands,
will he nearly despite his son's curiosity and then he says
and I quote it wasn't until I was incarcerated that I realized how bad my porn addiction had gotten
feel like we skipped over a whole goddamn fucking seven episode tiger king arc there didn't we
I'm watching porn and my driveway next Next thing you know, I'm sucking
Dix in a dark alley to watch movies of people sucking Dix. Wait, so is the inference here
that the porn he was addicted to was child porn? Because that's the porn you go to jail for. And if so, don't lump that into
your anti-porn document.
Right. I imagine Utah you could go to jail for just anything.
Or just anything. Yeah.
Oh, are you fucking kidding? There's absolutely no way they would have leaned into that.
This movie had to kill in the lives in compounds demographic. They were never going that might be the one point they allowed.
This is he were never going to step on that.
And again, like he fucking he went to jail for failure to pay child support or some shit
probably.
They don't imply or you know, they never say or even imply that he went to jail for porn.
Only that like, I guess while he went to jail for porn only that like
I guess while he was in jail
He didn't and couldn't get any porn that he realized how bad it was or something, right?
Yeah, this was very clearly a guy who went to jail for something like got a range got brought to court and
The judge was like how do you plead and he was just like
porn
The porn
Is that a thing? The porn did it your honor.
Do you remember when we let a guy kill Harvey Milk and then he said, I junk food yesterday
and we let him go.
I want that defense with porn.
I want that but with the touch myself.
I was eating salty stuff instead.
Yeah.
And people were like keystering porn to get porn into this jail for the touch myself. I was eating salty stuff instead, yeah. And people were like keystering porn to get porn
into this jail for the black market
to sell that they couldn't, couldn't get otherwise.
What's great is he clearly got convicted,
but now he has to maintain that defense for appeal anyway.
So every day he's just like, yeah, that, that porn.
And that's the everything I had.
All right.
So now the narrator is going to explain the long twisted road that leads to porn hub premium.
Sure.
You think you're in control, but pretty soon you lose hold of the handle and then you're
at the emergency room having a parent chattering teeth surgically removed from your back.
If it happens to all of us, we think it's going to be a simple, fun time with our friends.
If you VPN through Italy, you get free porn on premium right now just for the record.
Oh, fuck yeah.
Hey, sure. Everyone starts out just watching one porn at dinner or you only watch porn at parties
with friends wrong. Pornography is like spoiled milk because your brain can't vomit.
Oh my god.
I have, dad, I have, my only note on that was literally like I took out a little note, like
I don't even know where I got it.
I took out a little note pet from my pocket and I was just like, brain can't vomit.
I was like, he goes to good. That's good stuff. That's good. He goes pornography is worse than filthy
Ballooned food and I'm like dude don't have a fucking swallowing analogy
What the fuck are you doing?
Where the fuck is he going with this my brain was paralyzed for a second
But like he was paralyzed and that way we're almost made sense out of it
I was like you're scum it.
Can puke food?
You're brain can't buy you fucking Mormons.
No, uh, dick vomit.
It's dick vomit.
It got me again.
And then the fucking the guy, the addict, right?
The incarcerated 30 year porn addict or whatever.
He comes up to explain that he started using cocaine and alcohol to enhance the pornography.
He did cocaine to enhance the point.
That is not how, let me tell you some, I don't know a lot about a lot, but I know a lot
about you.
Dick not working on coke.
Let me tell you.
You don't enjoy a nice, uh, software.
You guys have never had like a quiet night at home done a lot of coke than settled You don't enjoy a nice uh, softer
You guys have never had like a quiet night at home done a lot of coke then settled in for a cozy night of ripping your fucking dick off
Oh, man, I have a hot tape that might be controversial if you're using cocaine and alcohol to enhance your porn
You're doing literally all three of those things. I'm sorry, I like a little bit of a challenge in my masturbation.
I like the thing of it is watching porn on hard mode.
Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna try and solve this Rubik's Cube with the same color stickers
on all.
Ooh Eli, that does not work to put it on hard mode
Now I'm in the mood for cocaine and porn that fucks everything up
So we're gonna pause for a quick break while I sort this shit out for first. Let me give actory to hard sell
Who is her daddy?
Does she in fact like that?
How am I gonna pay for all this pizza?
In fact, like that, how am I going to pay for all this pizza? Find out the answers to these questions and more when we return for the money shot of
pornography.
The Great Lie.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Did you happen to order a large sausage pizza?
I did, but I don't have any money to pay.
Oh, well, let me ask you this.
Have you ever considered the problem of evil?
The what?
Oh, it's the concept that the idea of a benevolent God can't easily be reconciled with stuff like,
you know, baby cancer and tornadoes.
Oh, well, um, like, you know, baby cancer and tornadoes.
Oh, well, um, like free will and stuff. Right, right.
I mean, free will is philosophically problematic
as a concept, but it's not like free will accounts
for baby cancer, right?
Yeah, I mean, I guess not.
So.
Yeah, anyway, this sausage, I have here. Oh, good. It's a
king. It is my penis. Yes.
And we're back for more of this show when we last left off our hero was
tempting Christians away from the righteous path, one of the
jackalation at a time. And we're going to rejoin the narrator,
begging us to, you know, just say no.
And by the way, we, we, at this point, we see a kid playing Xbox. Is there porn on that?
Yes. There is.
Yeah, man. This kid so addicted to porn, he's playing it again just for the achievements.
I'm at 99%. I don't understand how to get the, the last porn point.
What?
It also says pornography destroys your ability to see beauty.
And I'd like to argue for the opposite being true.
I have very often finished jerking off to porn and then been like, all right, I'm going
to go to an online museum site or something just so that this wasn't my day.
Here we go.
Look, hey, you know, googhanheim.com.
See, I was looking at the fucking flower.
Still your day.
Yeah.
I genuinely had that moment literally two nights ago.
I was watching porn and I finished and I was just like, I should repotry.
Yeah, thank you.
I looked at the key to not.
I looked at fucking cheats.
I would need, all right, cheats is the answer for the second part of my question. What porn? Were you watching before Keith? Oh, that's not fun. Yeah, what porn porn pairs well with Keats. Oh, you know everybody wants to know what porn we watch. I would rather not get into that conversation. I'll be three. I would like to talk about this.
Yeah, that's behind the panel.
I know you would.
I know you would.
So there's this guy with a taxi, but there's a twist.
Interesting.
So all right, he also did.
Derroiter also says that at a certain point numbness sets in.
I'm like, well, I have not jerked up enough yet.
Then well, you're not doing enough cocaine with it. Yeah. You get a tolerance. You got
to start injecting the porn at a certain point. I was going to say, rub, rub enough coke
on your dick man. And this is where we get the wife's doing the overview. And she says
that him watching porn, quote, broke down every hope I ever had. I wrote in my notes, damn,
all of your hopes were him not drinking up the porn.
This is a destroyed every dream I had for my family. I'm like, wow, those are some bizarrely
contingent dreams.
Lady.
Did they also say that there are long term effects of like porn use.
Like it's a drug like Harry Palms and shit apparently like dick,
COPD.
You'll be like,
glasses.
They repeat the brain shrinking lie here, which is very popular.
Oh, I missed that.
Yeah.
Is that during, is that during the chick who looks like the hot dose of Emily Dickinson?
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
The one who plays this is just rocking and her fucking rocking chair.
Yeah.
And she almost squishes her cat's foot with the rocking chair.
And it came so close and the cat runs away and probably attacked her a moment later.
Yeah, that cat didn't sign up for any of this.
There's also an amazing quote where
they go, as one expert says, not
which expert, they're not even
bothering to name their fake
experts. They're just
philosophers.
porn is bad. I love to just
weird moment where the narrators
telling us about our sexual
urges and as he's saying that
we're watching this very fit young black man brushes teeth. And I'm like, boy, did this movie nail he can't get
like that. Okay.
So it nail in that so close. Okay. First of all, yes. But that's not the point. I was
very confused by this for a second. Not sexually just confused as a movie watcher. He he
starts brushing his teeth. and then he sees himself
in the mirror and he's like, hold on a second. Like what was he about to use toothpaste as
lube or like what? So I think what we're supposed to be watching. It doesn't recognize
himself anymore. He's like, porn, porn, porn, porn, porn, porn. The narrator says,
porn will tell you it heightens a rousal and improves relationships. And I'm like, you
know what, I've never read the brochure. So I don't know if that's true or not. Like why is porn selling itself?
It's already porn. We got naked ladies in here. Also, it improves the rouse. Oh, all right.
Now I'm listening. But tell me this, Mr. porn, Esquire, how will it affect my relationships? Oh, well, you say lead the way, sir.
Yeah.
No, but by according to the narrator here, it deadens the relationship with real
women and he somehow manages to refrain from adding heath.
What I love about this, right, is that this, this is again, is a very popular
anti-Porn
myth based entirely on the idea of it like I'm telling you, once you see Asakira getting
back to the fucking horse farm that is your wife, you just can't do it.
You'd rather put a bullet in your fucking eye.
I'll tell you right now.
You're going to want to watch Asakira horse farm instead.
Exactly.
Change a rule.
Well, but so, but he says the guys is like, porn made my wife boring to me sexually, right? horse farm instead. Exactly. It came true.
But so when he says the guys is like porn made my wife boring to me sexually, right?
Which, like, I mean, yeah, sure, maybe that, but like it's, it's given me and my wife
some crazy fucking ideas we never want to come up with on our own.
So again, the problem here is your attitude vis-a-vis porn, not the porn.
Yeah, I feel like the first take of that guy was just him being like, honestly, if my
wife had just stuck a finger in my ass more than once per year, I never would have gotten
carcoring.
I almost certainly would not have strangled that hooker.
Just saying, outfit stuff doesn't even feel different.
Yeah, right, but open up again when they actually do identify a real problem
Invariably it is a problem with religions attitude towards pornography Right like look if you wanted to do a legitimate problems with pornography documentary you could they didn't want to do that
So they didn't want to do that so they didn't.
Mm-hmm. Now that would mean talking to women, which obviously no one involved with this movie ever did.
And then we learn the most important truth about porn, right? Because like up until now,
the movie keeps coming up and saying, lie, you know, whatever, you know, lie, you can stop
whatever you want, whatever. Now it's going to start coming up and saying lie, you know, whatever, you know, lie, you can stop whatever you want, whatever. Now it's going to start coming up and saying truth, whatever. And the most
important truth is that porn will make you reject God. And to demonstrate this by
the way, we see a teenage boy refusing to take communion because he's like, I can't
put my jerk off hand on Jesus's flesh. It would just feel weird. Yeah, yeah.
Horns a gateway drug to science.
Wait a second.
If she evolved to be more attract, oh, you know what?
I don't believe we got anymore.
Why is there still come?
I just told God made the body made the human body absolutely perfect, but that
asshole looks way too wide.
Yeah, this is also where they tell you that if you get caught up in pornography, talk to
your parents. And man, do I have so much pity for the normal U-tons whose kid listened to this movie
and came home and was like, mom, dad, I've got something to tell you about.
Big booty bitches and they had to be like, oh, okay, no, I know we got to fix this, but
man, this is bad.
Six or seven.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Same problem.
Yeah, that's just like, that's one of its truths.
It's like, talk to someone.
It'll help. And I'm like, yeah, maybe they'll want to like
just jerk off back to back with you or fuck you even.
They fuck you. You solved all your problems.
But as soon as they said that, they're like, perhaps
you could talk to your parents.
I'm like, Oh, I hope that happens to Eli.
I really hope that happens to Eli.
Oh, no.
And then it comes up and says like, truth, you can flee from pornography.
And I was really expecting like a fucking porn chase scene at this point because we saw
porn stalking the little family outside earlier
But now oh man. I wanted there to be like an old kung fu master who is just like sure you can free from pornography
But if you do you'll be running the rest of your life
Cut the Kurt Cameron with his baseball bat. Exactly. Exactly
what I was thinking. Snatch this come from my hand. Yeah, it's it's about having to go
back to face scar. But we hear this letter that some Mormon kid wrote before
he went on his mission about how he was so into the porn that for a while, he thought
that he wasn't going to be able to serve God by going out and advertising Mormonism
forum for free for several years.
But luckily, he told his parents and his parents told an unqualified stranger.
Oh, that's so fucking creepy, right?
Because they show the fucking this kid.
They show a kid going and just talk to some elderly man about his jerking off.
Like that's the creepiest thing about all of this to me is that what the Mormons want
is for you to go in and talk to a fucking grown ass man about you touching yourself.
Yeah, that's a super real fucking thing in the Mormon church, right?
Oh, yeah, they really like make you talk about your masturbatory habits with like
Steve.
Well, and what's more is that like Steve at like Steve brings it the fuck up, right?
And Steve will continue to bring it up until you give him a good story.
It'll be like, all right, must not be jerking off yet. I'll ask again in three months.
Hey, Steve, can you inch your chair back away from me? You're sitting real close, right?
And a reminder, the year that they started allowing parents into those rooms was two years ago.
Yep. Two years ago, you were allowed to be like, Hey, you keep asking my kid about jerk enough.
Can I sit in?
Yeah, 2018.
They decided on that.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I believe so.
Yeah.
Great.
And then the next little truth that comes up on Scraresus
truth, pornography is more powerful than you think.
And I'm just like, it turned invisible.
It can fly.
It's super born.
What's that? You've never reached
into your porn and pulled out a glowing sword. You used to defeat the dragon. That's why you
subscribed to premium because you get the sword. Oh, right. Yeah. And then I was like, the
missionary kid who was writing the letter or whatever, he ends up by saying like, but
then I gave up the pornography,
and now I can go off and be a missionary,
and I don't, and I won't even have to use the book of Mormon
to hide my weird boner anymore.
It'll be great.
It'll be great.
That kid's name.
Joe Exotic.
And credit where credit is due.
Hello, can I tell you about how Jesus helped my pornography
addiction is the only opening line that is worse than, can I tell you about how Jesus helped my pornography addiction? Is the only opening line that is worse than can I tell you about the book of Mormon?
I don't know.
Some kid goes to me with that fucking, that opening and I'm going to be like, yeah, man,
sit there, fuck down and tell me all about it.
But then we learn that nobody can masturbate for you.
And that's true, right?
Like, it's not true.
Dutch rudder, man.
I don't know. That was such a bummer to find out. But they come up and they're like, you
know, ultimately the choice is yours. You can't, like, no one can make you look at porn.
I'm like, I probably could trick you into it, though. I was going to say I have a bunch
of foolish friends who have jumped on Zoom calls with
me who can verifiably say that I can make them watch porn.
It's my virtual background.
So I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Yes, but yeah, exactly.
Then you guys the fucking smokey the bear only you cannot watch porn fucking doesn't work with it's a negative thing kind of a moment bear
and then again the phrasing of this fucking movie right he goes the internet may still be at your fingertips but they're still your fingers I'm a whole fucking note on thinkers
They're just your Chinese
Out I wrenched it it's that was my fault that's on me Bill. Bill, I need a day off. I can think about it. These kids fucking fingers. So then narrator comes and he goes, you may think you're only
exercising your freedom, which is exactly what I'm calling it from now on. So you've
been in the bathroom for a while. Yeah, just exercising my freedom. The whole thing is so weird too because it
This monologue happens over this slideshow of the kids. Yeah, it's like this
It's like a weird mashup of the legal at the end of a Viagra commercial
Overlaid onto an in-memorium for the kids at your high school who killed themselves that
into an in-memorium for the kids at your high school who killed themselves that genre benching.
Yeah, I know it's, it had this weird like multi-racial, you know, kids of all races and
ethnicities cannot masturbate moment to it.
Yeah.
And then the narrator goes, some of your so-called friends and it immediately cuts to the black kid. Yes.
Did you guys just say that?
When I was thinking fucking beat the one black kid is on that line.
Some of your so-called friends might seduce you to watch and the skits just like,
wait, I thought I was just another one of the good ones.
God damn it.
We got a photo negative of the Lamanite for a second.
Wait, wait, wait.
So. Well, they had the photo negative, but layman night for a second.
Well, they had the photo negative, but they cut it because they can't live too white. Yeah, right.
All right, that's confused and we're going to confuse people with that.
And they also, at this point, they offer a few of their suggested solutions for overcoming your
porn addition. One of which is, I shit you not just never be alone.
All right, that one tracks. I feel like spent time with your mom,
spent time with your loved ones.
Hey, mom, can you sit with me till this boner goes away?
There's a whole lot of full back wants.
Yeah, and then of course the final truth that we learned
from the movie, it comes up and says truth
Hope is found in Christ and I'm like I found hope in all kinds of different shit, man
She's she gets around found a lot of things in hope to find their catchphrase for the movie that is real
That is true, but they keep repeating it and it gets more and more desperate as the
movie goes on by the end. He's like, that is real. That is true, Stephanie.
God, I can't stop thinking about these fucking fingers. I'm never going to be able to
look at a picture of doubting Thomas again, damn it.
Where do you guys hold your fingers normally? What's a normal finger?
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
It urges us one last time to talk to our parents about porn.
And I thought at that point in the movie I had this weird desire to just like call my
mom right and go, I'm just thinking of why is this movie?
You and I should talk about porn. And just like maybe get that on, like,
like get it recorded for you guys.
I don't know.
I decided to do.
Absolutely.
Do you guys think your parents watch porn?
I can tell you this much.
My very first pornographic, like anything from a magazine
or from print was I was like 10 or 11 years old
and my mom used to get red book.
Do you guys know red book magazine? Are you serious right now? I'm a hundred percent serious and I would take I like the home lifestyle magazine
Yes, but they had but they had you know
Absolutely not I need to know what you jerked off to a red book
Absolutely not. I need to know what you jerked off to me, Rainbow. What? It is happening.
Absolutely a castle.
Boy, she's just like, sconces. Look at these sconces.
The irony is when I was going to say to defend myself,
doesn't sound that good in my head anymore.
Which is said it has.
It could not possibly would be worse than what we're thinking you are about to say.
It had those like ten tips to make your man go wild.
They were like, yeah, but it was like a Cosmo kind of thing.
Yeah, right, right.
Okay.
But it would describe them in detail.
It'd be like, I remember like the words, they would never use the word penis.
They'd use the, they was always in our thigh.
Or remember, inner thigh?
It was always, they never said penis or generals, they always said inner thigh would be like,
put your head between his inner thighs.
And like, and like, just when we were talking to Jake.
What?
I take it back.
I like red books.
Six different.
For the longest time, I was like, I had no idea the inner thigh was the most erotic sound.
Well, she's just going to town on some girls outer thigh.
Wait, I think I might have read this wrong.
I don't know.
Is it my inner or your inner?
Lose your stage.
Turn around.
Turn around.
Stage inner or house inner?
He's just sitting at home playing his inner thighs like a bongo's.
Nope, still nothing.
And this is also where we get the voice over from the wife who's forgiven her porn addict
husband.
And she says, I love my husband.
And he's worth super duper long pause worth being married to.
Yes.
Wow.
She had so little good to say that the best she could wear
that was like, he's on a podcast.
He's like, to be fair, this is the moment
that crystallized porn in the Mormon community for me.
Cause the thing I realized is like,
this is just how Mormons get blow jobs from their wives.
They're just like, gosh babe,
I mean, I hate to turn on the computer
and accidentally sacrifice our family's place
and Heavenly Father Celestial Kingdom.
But I can't, I can't.
So I find it right.
I think this is just the left porn, it's just leverage.
Oh wow, you're probably right.
That's so fucking sad.
Maybe, maybe put your mouth on my inner thigh, I don't know.
Do you want me to be separated from our heavenly family?
Because that's what's gonna happen if I finish the fucking thing.
Do you want me to be in our daughter's wedding or not?
So fucking get fucking get naked and get between my inner thoughts. And then it concludes with him saying that someday he'll tell his son about betraying
him through pornography.
And that is the only conversation worse than talking to your parents about porn is talking
to you about porn.
Just like a kiddo look, you're 11 now.
So let me tell you about the time your mom kicked me out of the house for a week.
So they're not actually newscasters.
That's the first thing you need to understand.
It's confusing because it's not like translated.
You don't know who they are.
So, and then, okay.
So, and then the movie closes on this book of Mormon quote, and I just, I love this so
fucking much because the book of Mormon is so goddamn awful right it's the worst book ever written and it's so long and
convoluted that they it takes them two screens to get the whole goddamn thing up there's nothing
being said there at all it's like it's it's it's so convoluted but by the time you get to the end
of it you're like yeah no the Bible's too good for this.
Right?
Wow.
It's like, it's literally, it's a Bible quote that somehow even more convoluted and even
less profound.
I will say that tight as a dish is a pretty sweet point.
Oh, yeah, the book of Mormon is not aware of how great they pressaged that.
All right. So that's the end of the movie, aware of how great they pressaged that.
All right, so that's the end of the movie, but I have to ask, I have to know how long was it between the time that this movie ended and the time that you next watched porn? Negative 20 minutes.
Well, so the thing that autoplaid literally is this ended when autop auto played on the YouTube stream was a totally
not comedic Mormon production of like the Book of Mormon like their own musical ballet
version.
Yeah, so zero seconds.
We were close.
Zero seconds.
Yeah, we did.
We could have gone back to back, buddy.
I was like, oh, good.
They teed me up.
No, I'll be honest.
I didn't last 20 minutes.
We couldn't have gone. I was like, oh, good. They teed me up.
No, I'll be honest.
That didn't last 20 minutes.
We couldn't have gone back to back.
All right.
So that's going to do a program of pornography.
The great lie, but that's not going to do it for the episode just yet, because we still
need to channelize you with another title.
So Eli, tell us what's on deck.
Well, Noah, for the end of Mormon Movie Month, we've had cowboys, we've had a treasure hunt,
we've had pornography, and now it's time for the Cokeville miracle. That's right. It's the time
God saved everyone in a school shooting slash bomb slash hostage situation. Oh, that should be
tasteful. Great. That'll be good. Okay. Right. We need God in times of
national crisis. We've learned that. All right. So with that to look forward to, we're
going to bring up episode two 52 to a merciful close. Once again, a huge thanks to Moishi

I went on to end Mormonism with my Oculus Quest.
The porn that dude saw 31 years ago went on to define Eli as a human being.
Everything you've ever seen that pretends to be real science or a documentary about how
porn is bad is funded by Mormons. 100% of it, all the time forever. I
Like the thing nor it
There's no one I'm talking about right you've seen that board. Oh, absolutely. Okay. Thank you
All right, and I notice notice that me and Moisey strategically failed to answer that question. Um, I assume you never acknowledge the calm you play right through you line of
top.
All right, interstitial three and Morgan, maybe a little porn music in the background
for this one.
Four, five, five, five.
I'm sorry.
You started.
I always, well, the thing is, I had already started counting. four four five five. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He started.
I always.
Well, so the thing is, I had already started counting him with heat.
You just got to go.
You got to go then, right?
Because he'll just.
I'm just so sorry.
I know I keep getting into coming on for.
I feel like there's nothing else you coming on for for me.
One other thing you coming on for.
All right.
I wish you weren't recording.
Yeah.
All right.
I want to know I'm now I'm curious what your answer to that.
All right.
I mean, you're not
a
brand.
No, no, no.
All right.
Cause we are recording.
You see one more time with feeling three, four, four, no, no, no. All right, because we are recording you see one more time with feeling.
Three, four, four, five, you didn't do it.
Did you?
He totally did.
I heard him fat piece of shit.
No, he didn't at the end.
But he forgot.
And then at the end, he went four, five.
I was just saying, I do think that he hit the four late.
I was a little like, okay, I was a little.
Okay, we have evidence of it.
You can't lie about what he had in the record.
It's a recourse, we can hear it.
I can hear it with my ear.
So let's, I know you're, I think you're lying.
I think you're lying.
Let's try that one more time.
Everybody together on four.
