Red Scare - The Podsurrection

Episode Date: January 8, 2023

The ladies discuss Andrew Tate vs Greta Thunberg, Nassim Nicholas Taleb vs Jordan Peterson, Prince Harry vs Prince William, and t

Happy January 6th. Happy Jan- Hey, Happy January 6th. Long live the insurrection. I literally thought it was a last year. I was like, it's the one year anniversary of it. I was like, oh, wait. It's the two year anniversary. It's been two whole years.

We're still talking about this fucking fed surrection as the Darren Beatty is called. We've taken stock. We've heard your complaints. No more right wing men on the podcast. That's not a promise. I think we can keep it. I like that woman in the comments who was like,

I'm probably one of your only Gen X female listeners and I love you girls and everything you stand for. But you really have to pump the brakes on the fascists. Hey, you know, I didn't want any of this to happen. You know, I hear you girl. I really do. No sarcasm, no irony detected. I'm just a girl who likes German philosophy.

I didn't mean to get caught up in the fourth right. Trust me, I wish I could. I don't hate the player. I wish I never took that red pill and I want to go back. There's a new movie that I've been seeing ads for on the subway or maybe it's a show, I'm not sure, but it's called Black Mafia Family BMF that I really want to see.

That sounds good. It looks good. I like the sound of that. Yeah, whatever it is, we'll check it out. Yeah, happy New Year's. Happy New Year's. Yeah, I feel bad about this year. Why?

You have a bad feeling. I have a bad feeling. But you don't like odd numbers. I feel odd numbers. No, I mean, personally, I have no dog in the fight and I don't feel about it any type of way when it comes to myself and my lot. But just overall, an overarching feeling of doom and gloom.

For reals? Yeah, because it's an odd number. I just don't like odd numbers. I get it. I have a look. I'm not optimistic, but I have like kind of a tepid feeling about this year. I feel like not much will transpire.

I'll reserve the predictions to keep the expectations low. So maybe they'll be exceeded down the line. That's smart. That's always a good way to play it. That's a good philosophy of life in general. Yeah, that's my advice to everyone. Lower your standards. Yeah.

Get shorter, which is really what this pod is all about. So taking what you get and not making a fuss. But hey, I am proud to say that I've already knocked off one of my New Year's resolutions, which is to finally frame some of the art I have laying around in this like rolly tubes. Yeah, I went to frame bridge Williamsburg. I don't know if you've ever heard of this place. No, I don't I have posters tacked to my walls.

Like I'm yeah, it's one of these like Neolib millennial pink online services for framing. Well, that's something that needed to be frankly. Yeah. I mean, I was standing in their like sparse, undesigned offices in Williamsburg and seething with jealousy at their business plan. Because whoever came up with this idea is a genius. Like what a great idea.

Because it's so hard to get things framed. Yeah. And they'll like really walk you through the process in like a fun and gamified way and they take a picture of your art like on the table and mock it up on an iPad so you can sort of see what it looks like with the mat and the frame and everything. Okay. It's incredibly satisfying, Dasha.

Maybe I'll get that Morrissey poster framed. All right. I got two Morrissey slash Smith's posters framed a pre-apic print that I bought in Florence probably like 15 or 20 years ago. And that infamous writer rips newspaper art of Bernie Sanders that just says Jew period at the bottom. Welcome to my art collection. And it's gonna look so good.

I learned about something called floating. What's that? I can guess. It's yeah. It's very self-explanatory. It's like instead of matting it, they suspend it above the mat on a slightly raised platform so you can see the shadow of the artwork. It looks very chic.

Interesting. Yeah. Is that did you get them any of these pieces floated? I got the Bernie Sanders one floated because the edges are so tattered. It's gonna look very archival. I see. Yeah.

That's my posters are frayed. Right. So you might want to get them floated. Okay. But then I have to hang them. Well, that's right. I feel like my man's gears are going to get really jammed up after the framing.

Hanging is the easy part. Is it? Yeah. It is like once you once you cross that bridge, once I hang my art, it's over for you host. It's over. I'm embarrassed to let people into my apartment because it's so sparsely decorated.

No, I think your apartment's lovely. It's fine. It's it's okay. But it's not a salon. Yeah. No, but I'm going to I intend to turn it into a salon like atmosphere. Yeah, I love that.

Complete with beautiful framed prints. Mm hmm. I didn't make a lot of I wanted to stop biting my nails, but I'm not really trying. I feel like you say that every year though. I say that every year. I don't think I'll ever stop. Mm hmm.

Maybe I will. Maybe this maybe this year. I can do one thing. I mean, it's like when you meet new people and they say their name to you and it's like in one era of the other and you like immediately forget what their name is and then like spend the rest of the evening not listening to them and coming up with like creative ways of finding out their name.

That's like biting your nails. Yeah, like you really well because you really just like if you want to remember somebody's name you just have to commit to beforehand. Yeah, you have to really know you have to really commit. Yeah. An exercise discipline, which is hard, which is why the being dry is not happening for me.

Dry Jan. Yeah. No. Good. Whatever. Fuck it. You don't need to quit drinking. You're fine.

I don't feel bad. My New Year's resolution is to be more compassionate and forgiving toward myself. Amen. As somebody recently told me, treat yourself like you would treat somebody you love. That's really your, did your therapist say that? No.

Oh. The girl in a group chat. Well, that's sweet. Yeah, I was like, oh wow, I've really never thought of it that way. My therapist said to me today, real agency is knowing how you're feeling. Well, yeah.

But this is sort of like a less articulate version of the thing you said, which is like be vigilant about your desires. Think about it. Oh, that is so, I have not been vigilant about my desires, to be honest. I've been real. I don't even know why I do anything sometimes. It's really just been like senseless.

Time feels like it's moving slowly too. It does. For me, kind of, yeah, every day is a very little trial. Yeah. A slog. Rife with various paranoias. It's been, it's been up and down, you know. Yeah, but 2023, getting off to a good start, by the way.

How so? Well, the thing that really gave me joy was the Taleb the Peterson bitch fight over Lex Friedman's book list. Yes. Peterson, would I call him an idiot? He said, Peterson, you idiot, stay out of this. 2023 is going to be the year that Nassim Nicholas Taleb

unblocks. Don't get your hopes up, sweetheart. You have to just make a non-account to follow him from. No, I know I had one for a while, but then I locked myself out of it and I think it's probably over. I don't know how to get it back. I think everyone knew what it was, too. I think it was called like neoliberal girl or something.

It was very clearly. I wanted to get caught. And it was like me tweeting, like Alex Jones did nothing wrong. I hate women. Yeah, like the most popular stuff. But I don't know how to get your real thoughts. Yeah.

I don't know how to get back on my CC the Siamese Instagram. Oh, sad. Oops. Well, I'm a mother now. I don't need to have a weird. It's giving childless pet count. Right. You don't need an Instagram for your cat anymore.

No. Make one for your baby. But I've been playing with Lenny the baby. Lenny the racist baby. He's like, crime is really up on my block. Dude, I got scared getting out the Uber on your street. Why, today? Yeah.

There's drug dealers out there. There are. Yeah. I know what they're up to. They're Bengali, so it's safe. I don't know. I got scared. There's like a man wearing a sarong pacing up and down

my blog. But I swear to God, you know, that guy who beat up that other guy over the summer. It was like a gay hate crime. The shirtless method who beat the shit out of that gay guy who's tertiary in our friend group. Yeah, he's like friend adjacent. So I think that guy is still on the loose.

And I'm pretty sure he asked me for a cigarette today. And of course, I dutifully complied. Yeah. But he doesn't seem like a real homeless. He has like too many outfit changes. He was shirtless in that, in that video. Well, he was shirtless the whole summer. But now I saw the video.

I'm pretty sure I've ID'd him. And he has a lot of like cool outfits. Really? What's he rocking nowadays? He has this kind of like tattered cream colored surfer hoodie that he wears. He has like a camo anorak that he wears. He has multiple pairs of Sambas.

Multiple pairs. I don't even have multiple pairs of Sambas. That's what I'm saying. My hunch is that he's like low-key a rich kid who has like a loft somewhere around here and comes out periodically to like score drugs and hate crime gay guys. Did you see the video of the crime?

I did. I saw like screen caps of the video. Like stills. The stills don't really do it justice. Like the way he was beating the shit out of this guy was very like crack head. It was definitely. Well, he's definitely a crack head.

I'm just saying that he's like a laptop crack head. Not like a sub-crack grant. Okay. Well, I think they did catch him and then probably let him out on bail reform. Yeah, he's around. Stay vigilant out there y'all. My other New Year's resolution is to move out of this neighborhood.

Yeah, you think you think you'll finally do it? I have to. Yeah. I have no choice. It's getting it's tough out here. I'm rational. Where are you going to go? I don't know.

You E.S.U.W.S. Yeah. Somewhere with like wide clean well lit boulevards. I also kind of want to go uptown and Maddie's really anti. What? Says it won't make me happy. It won't. I just my.

Nothing's going to make you happy. I know. Another big life lesson. But my apartment, my apartment's nice in the spring, summer and fall, but it's really depressing in the winter. And it's like just there's no temperature regulation. It's always like my ceilings like caving in. It's like dark.

It's too dark to it's not a good environment. So I can't do another year. Yeah. But you know, I mean, everybody in New York, even the ultra rich basically live like dogs. I know. It's pretty hilarious. People will have like these caramel lofts with like 10 foot couches

and still like be living in the ghetto. It's true. Well, that's why we have to move to praxis. Oh, yeah. That's our ticket out the hood. So I can post pics of prostes on the holidays. We have no we're going to be the prostitutes. Anna, that's the.

Everyone needs a job in the in the utopia. Yeah. Like, you know, that's not so hard being like a data scientist. I wish I never fucking found out about the actual. I know. My hook will be being like a 40 year old mother. Like a kid who wants a job. No, I'll pay you not to.

That's how I'm going to become number one top earner and only fan. I'm going to I feel like I could have a lucrative phone sex operator career, but I don't I can that's I can do that remotely. So I can I can move wherever. Yeah, they don't need to know it's me or like this girl sounds like Dasha Necrossova who played comfrey. Most known for playing comfrey on the comfrey in her.

I'm on the white. I'm on the white now, not cocaine on white. Oh my God, I'm sorry because Nicola said that red puts you to sleep and white keeps you away. And we're going to test drive that. I don't think so. I think sugar content is higher in white. Why gives me heartburn and headaches?

I don't like it as much as red. Yeah, I don't either. But that's why I'm not really big on champagne. I'm not like a champagne girl. It's it's like Oscar the grouch says best thing about champagne is that you only have to drink it once a year. I like I drink I drink champagne. I do like it, but I like when it tastes almost like perfume,

you know. Yeah, but that's what gives you the migraine the next day. Yeah, I know. You have to like double up on your dose of anti-depressant just crunch it and snort it. They're working off label like my doctor prescribed. Hmm. Should we talk about Lex Friedman's book list? Yeah, I already forgot what it was.

I don't know how to pull it up. I bet we can find it. Yeah, it was like off the top of my head. It was like Brave New World, Brothers Karamazov, Fight Club. Every Steven Pinker book. I wish I didn't know who Lex Friedman was either. I know. I know.

I hate this undignified low class timeline. I wish I didn't know who Lex Friedman or Andrew Tate or I wish I could unknown, but there's no going back truly. Oh, Andrew Tate also got arrested for sex trafficking. You have to admit that one of the best things that's happened so far in 2023 is this Taleb Peterson. Taleb Klopp. Yeah.

Was there more than him just calling him an idiot? Well, he called Lex Friedman an idiot first. Yes. He said that he had a many list as evidence for why he will never have Lex on his podcast in spite of 10 attempts by Lex. Come on. Here's the list to 2001 Space Odyssey. He's reading one book a day for seven plus days. Wait, one book a day?

Oh, wait. He really is a genius. No, this is an old one book a week for the 52 weeks of the year. That was the idea. Um, Nicholas Taleb, first of all, that's fake. Yeah. He's not going to be able to even maintain that level of stupid. That's the worst.

That's the worst part. Um, is that he like gamified reading and he was stupid. It's 1984. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Brave New World. Um, it's like a redundant. So it's like every normie mainstream book about the stranger dystopia. Mm-hmm.

Did he not? So he didn't go to college. She didn't read these books. No, he's rereading them. He read, he claims he's read most of them, not all of them. What? Okay. 2001 Space Odyssey.

Just watch the movie. Old man in the sea. The art of war respect. Man search for meaning. Rich dad, poor dad. That's going to be an annoying week when he reads man search for meaning. Uh, sapiens, metamorphosis and hunger artists. Okay.

Short ones. The plague, uh, fight club, the little prince book for children and the brothers Karamazov, Siddhartha Dune, and then Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Storm of steel. Son and steel. Do you think Lex has ever read Bronze Age mindset? No. But he should, but he should.

I think it would open his eyes and change his life. Like it did for me. Yeah. He needs to bump that one up to the top of the list before he, he goes any further reading brother. Well, that, that was one of the points to lab made. Was that anyone who thinks they can like read and digest like the brothers Karamazov in a week is surely a, a dunce.

True. And that's the dumbest part is that it's the weak break. It's not even, I don't even begrudge someone for reading fight club. It's fine. It's like also a lot of people pretend to have read these books and have not. They're like the Ta-Nehisi book letters to my son or whatever that everybody has on their bookshelf, but no one has ever read that became like a liberal talking point when it came out in like 2008 or 2015 or whenever

that was. I don't begrudge anybody for reading any book. You should see the books that are, I'm Amazon priming. It's surprising that they're even allowed on Amazon prime. Dude, I was going through my books a couple of days ago and I have a lot of messed up books. I just have a lot of dumb like weird self published Catholic book like stuff that like, I'm like, I can't believe I was really like read even parts of

this. This is so I have a book about how like the Iraq war was justified on like Catholic this like traditionalist Catholic group. Some guy was like, it's weird. Like they're all like self published little. You gotta stay away from the group authored books. Oh yeah. No, I definitely don't.

I think you should read whatever books you want. No shame in the game. Just like you should not publicly disclose which books you're reading. What books you're going to read. It'd be one thing also. If he was like, these are the books I read this year. Like, okay, itemized the list, whatever, but being like, this is the book. I'm reading every week for it's so what's this guy's problem.

Well, saying that announcing what you're going to do in advance is like a surefire way to get dunked on. But I think the real reason people are dunking on Lex has nothing to do with the normy tier nature of his list or the fact that he's gamifying reading, which are all worthy takes by the way. And it probably doesn't even have anything to do with the fact that he seems totally astroturfed as many people have pointed out. Oh, so well, this guy like popped out of nowhere with like organic audience in

the millions, millions of Lex Friedman fans must die. But it's not even that. I mean, okay, my there's also is that there's a whole other universe that we're not privy to here on racist Twitter called YouTube, which is heaming with normies. And well, you also remember when, yeah, you also thought Sam Bankman Fried kind of came out of nowhere, but he there's people, you know, there's those all sorts of stuff we don't know about.

These guys are around. And my petty feeble female brain doesn't like to jump to the conspiracy theory first. And I like to search for the more rational and plausible explanation, which is again, not a lot of normies are digesting this content on YouTube. I'm not saying Lex Friedman is not astroturfed, but I'm saying there's no proof right now that he's astroturfed. I don't think he's astroturfed to what end for what though?

What is he to be like a middling Jewish personality? What is the what's the con? What's the long game here with legs? Well, he's kind of like the apotheosis of the IDW in that he has this very kind of boyish manlet physiognomy of like a Ben Shapiro or Sam Harris and kind of devotion to quote heterodox ideas that are really just Ben sitting, you know, the intellectual dog. That's still a thing.

Yeah, well, he's like the kind of and also this idea that he's like has a stem pedigree when he really seems to do a whole lot of nothing like he stands in front of a chalkboard that has like EMC squared scribbled on it. I guess I just I found I guess I heard his name when Kanye went on this show. Yeah, he got people. People are bemused because also Kanye has been quiet, dude. He has been quiet. Is he okay dead?

Is they they lobotomize him? Like what happened? He's strapped to a gurney somewhere. I think I said this already, but yeah, he has all these like big name guests and people don't know how he managed to snag them and whatever. He's true, but he's he's well connected enough in the media and MIT. I don't know. Yeah.

And then there's like the questionable MIT link, whatever. I'm not interested in any of that. I'm really not. I can't take it. I don't have the bandwidth. Yeah. I don't I don't care to unpack like the conspiracy theory behind Lex Friedman's meteoric rise to online fame.

Well, haters make you famous. So why do I and he has a lot of haters? People don't think about that. He probably thinks that the huge amount of haters he has means that he's like on the righteous path. He probably sleeps pretty well at night. I bet he does. But what does he do that's so so bad really?

Besides be annoying? Well, my thing is that he's literally the male Ayala. He provides a prostitution like service podcast of being intellectual. Yeah. And well, I don't mean to knock on Ayala because what is expected and therefore forgivable in women is completely unforgivable in men, i.e. being an emotional terrorist. That's my issue with Lex Friedman.

He's a spiritual extortionist and emotional terrorist with his like, yeah, he's a little like saccharine love shit. Yeah, we ain't buying it. At least Ayala, I feel like knows she's super annoying. I think that she probably does have some mindfulness that she is like extremely unpleasant and leans into it. She's a woman. She can get away with anything. So true.

That's how it be for us gals. But Lex Friedman, unfortunately by virtue of being a man has a higher responsibility or duty that he's not off the hook. Yeah. By being a huge like lacrimose sinister fag. You know, people would like him a lot more if he clapped back to the haters. It's true if he's stooped down to our level. Yeah, they would be like, oh, you're like a human being.

Would we would you have him on red scare? Yeah, totally. Lex, I would get on get on the show. I have a lot of nice things to say about Lex Friedman. He's Russian Jewish. Okay, we like that like that. You think he played chess? He probably plays chess.

I happen to think that he's extremely hot in the face. I'm sorry. He's cute. Dude, you know me, you know, I beat fornicating with Jews. Definitely passable in my a one for me. No, no, don't even not even a second thought. I like the suit. I think it's nice.

He wears a suit to podcast. He's proof that being a short man is not a death sentence. And you can, in fact, excel and exceed. Yeah, he's not six four. Like, I felt like Shania Twain when he dropped that knowledge on us. I was like, that don't impress me much. Sorry, six four is tall. It's tall.

No, it's objectively tall and therefore objectively impressive. But I'm not. You're not a tall fetish. I tall guys mean either. Really? I mean, there is something nice about it, but I'm it's not a standard that I hold any of my partner. I'm not like, he needs to be 50.

Yeah, I don't. That's it takes all kinds, you know, but it is nice to be with a man who's who's tall, sure. Yeah. And envelopes you with his NBA level wingspan. Sure. The reason people are responding to Lex Friedman negatively is that he's anxious and super silly is whoa.

It's true. It's what super silly is like haughty condescending morally superior. They can feel it. It's like the reason Andrew Tay got got isn't because he's human trafficking. Well, that is why he got caught. Well, technically, or like speaking truth to power or in the manosphere. Yeah, or yeah, reprising old manosphere talking points or because he's a black man doing his thing and like our society as white supremacists.

It's because everybody can feel that he's spiritually and physically chinless. Amen. They don't like him. No, they don't like him and they don't like Lex Friedman either. And it's good. It's good to have a little pushback and some haters. But if you're like almost unanimously disliked. Yeah, well, I we have a lot of haters and we do, but I'm very optimistic and utopian

in this way actually, because I think like if, if most people have a certain opinion about somebody, everything is right in the world. Like everybody hates Meghan Markle. It has nothing to do with her being a woman or black. It's just she's an unpleasant and grating person who's also anxious and super silly is. Yeah. And she's not even people can feel it. Is she even that haughty?

She just seems like really people can tell when you're in. Yeah, I thought you were going to say is she even that? Is she even a haughty? You know, my New Year's resolution is my other one is that I haven't been doing this for a while now, but I will not ever again be publicly opining on a woman's appearance unless it's strictly positive. Hmm. Okay.

This is the new mature Anna. What's the, what, what prompted the change? Gunshots. I think it's like no fireworks. I think it's like a tire exploding on the FDR. What prompted it? Yeah, that's your way. People don't take well to it.

And they think that you're very bitter and jealous. They confuse your aesthetic critique for scoring of others for existential malice instead of tossed off snark. And I don't want that energy in 2023. I think I'll do the same. Yeah, branding as a liberal. I don't think I've said anything. Well, you said specifically tweet.

You still will critique women's appearance. No, no, I won't say anything negative. Come on. I won't say there's no point. Fair enough. I've learned the hard way. Okay. I've learned the hard way that it's wrong to say that AOC's quote big

naturals look like two rotting pumpkins and cheesecloth. Never again. They don't even. They look, I think AOC is cute. I have nothing against it. She is cute. Except for her politics. Um, what, oh, hey, we're not going to get into it here.

Okay, so I'm trying to drag me down with you into your talks. Dark and bottomless pit. I don't need to, I don't need to go there. No, but plain and simple. I realize people don't like it and they don't like it for a reason. I know. I feel like threatened and endangered and there's no point in doing it because it actually like contributes nothing to the discourse.

Cause a lot of people just sound off in private. A lot of people be ugly. Yeah. That goes to that saying, but. Hmm. Let's read. I feel like I should have more nearest resolutions, but maybe I'm, I don't know. Maybe somewhere deep down.

I know I'm doing the right things. I'm doing everything right. I'm just going to keep, keep doing me. Um, people respond most of all, like intuitively, instinctually to insincerity. Yeah. And people can feel that Lex is hiding something and being insincere and the form that that takes are these conspiracy theories about him, like being astroturfed or like funded by dark money or whatever.

This is all irrelevant. Yeah, I haven't even really heard these theories, but they're all over the place. I'm sure. But to me, that's like splitting hairs also. I just, Matthew was like, are you guys going to talk about the speaker of the house? And I was like, what? I was like, I don't even know what the speaker of the house is. I don't either.

Congress. My New Year's resolution is to finally commit to memory the difference between the Senate and the Congress and the house. The house is the Senate and the Congress, right? The house houses the other. Congress, no, no, Congress. The Congress is the house of the House of Representatives and the Senate, yeah, which is two each state.

The house of the master's tools. Yeah. The house of the master's tools. It houses all the masters. The hard house makes good Senate. Hard times make tall men, tall men make good times. Good times make short men. Short men make hard times.

There's something there. Yeah. We, so we can talk about this short people article in the New York Times that, uh, that sailor was, was posting about, um, and I read today to prepare for the, for the show. And I, it shocked me the short people article. How tall Steve Salier is, of course. I mean, that's why he's always crouching in that closet by blazers from 1984.

Good for him. No, just, I didn't see, I don't know. I just went into it, you know, like, I like to take in a work of art, you know, it's just an open, pure mind. Um, and I really, the, the like climate change apocalyptic shift in the piece where I made the point that being short is going to be advantageous because, uh, we need to be conserving resources due to overpopulation and global warming. Um, that I did not see.

Um, that I did not see coming. I would, I thought it would have been something more akin to like the atypical anorexia piece where it was like maybe politicizing short people as a marginalized group or something. New, uh, pro-immigration, pro-obesity piece just dropped. Um, short people are disgusting. I was, I know, I know, I know, it's so true. No, they're, I mean, uh, Randy Newman. Short people had it right.

No reason. I'm really into the musical experimentation now because I thought I did a really good job using those Gainsburg songs as the intro and outro. Oh. So I might, I might fuck around and throw Randy Newman into the intro instead of tattoo. Nice. Yeah, let's switch it up. Sure.

Short people, they got little hands and little eyes. They walk around telling great big lies. They got little noses and little tiny teeth and wear platform shoes on their nasty little feet. Yeah. Keep going. They got little baby legs and they went slow. You got to pick them up just to say hello. They got little cars that go beep, beep, beep.

They got little voices going beep, beep, beep. They got grubby little fingers and dirty little minds. They're going to get you every time. Short people got no reason to live. So true. That's such a nice way of saying millions must die. A really timeless piece. Yeah.

From Randy Newman. Yeah, I love Randy Newman. He's a nepo baby. Is he? Who are his parents? Paul Newman? No, he wishes. His dad, I think, was a major studio composer.

Nice. Well, when nepotism goes right. I have a lot of comments about this NYT op-ed. There has never been a better time to be short by Mara Altman. In it, she argues that being short is, of course, not only genetically advantageous, but morally virtuous for climate change reasons. Yeah, because they use less resources. And she, I guess, was put on some,

elected by her parents, hormone treatment when she was a particularly short child. Right, yeah. She injected herself with something called humatrope, which is a human growth hormone for three years. Now as the mother of twins who are, quote, small for their age, she intends to let nature take its course and not intervene in their heights. I found a 2014 interview with someone called Mara Altman, who I'm assuming is the same Mara Altman from the op-ed.

Is it about IVF? Yeah, and in it, she outlines her doubts about having a baby, and she submits herself to like a series of experiments, which include taking a prenatal yoga class, renting a life like baby doll, wearing a fake pregnancy belly, and she even manages to write a Kindle book about her doubts, about having a baby even though she is married and cohabitating. Okay.

My first thought was how much you want to bet that those twins are IVF. The irony of like not wanting to inject your kids. Exactly. Not that you should, but... No, I know. But it reminded me of... To talk of nature taking its course and overpopulation. Yeah, a while back, I mentioned,

I think it was over the summer many episodes ago, this anecdote my Syrian Jewish girlfriend told me, and many in the Sephardic community give their children puberty blockers to postpone the onset of puberty in order to maximize their height. And the irony of that being that these people are notoriously conservative and very strenuously object to using puberty blockers in pediatric gender reassignment. Right.

But will, of course, selectively administer it to their children if it means like gaining a few inches and presumably certain advantages in the marriage pool. But the other bigger irony, of course, is the New York Times is reporting kind of skeptically and condescendingly on the practice of parents giving their children growth hormones but are on the whole very favorable about giving them puberty blockers. Many ironies.

I have a lot of quotes. She cites some pseudo-science. She says ages ago when the necessity of defending oneself cropped up daily if not hourly, tall people could more easily protect their families and bring home some woolly rhino flank, our success as individuals does not depend on beating up other people or animals even if it did an era of guns and drones being tall now makes you a bigger target. Come on, that's crazy.

Then she cites some real science on average short people live longer and have lower incidence of cancer. One theory suggests this is because with fewer cells there's less likelihood that something goes wrong. She talks about how others go to extremes in pursuit of a few extra inches and more people are spending as much as, excuse me, $150,000 to get excruciating limb-lengthing surgeries. Ronan Farrell.

Huh? Ronan Farrell. Yeah. Sorry. New buccal fat. Just drawn. But this piece was even a bridge too far for Madaglacias. What did Maddie say?

He called it neo-malthusianism in response to this quote, short people don't just save resources, but as resources become scarcer because of the Earth's growing population and global warming, they may also be best suited for long-term survival and not just because more of us will be able to jam into spaceships when we're forced off this planet, we wrecked. Yuval Nol Harari and his book, Sapiens, wrote about population. On Lex Friedman's Readiness.

I know. It sounds like a book that's on Lex Friedman's Readiness. It's a raster term. Yuval Nol Harari and his book, Sapiens, wrote about a population of early humans who inhabited an island called Flores. Because of a rise in sea level, the island was cut off from other land.

Big people who need a lot of food died first, Mr. Harari wrote. It's a book. It's a fictional book? Sapiens, it's one of these, I think, like, actually don't be so doomsday because we've made a lot of progress. Steven Pinker us, like, airport books.

I liked when she talks to her former endocrinologist and asks him why parents whose children have no underlying medical conditions sought growth hormone treatment for them. He said the pursuit of height made sense in capitalistic society. Yeah. Every doubt blamed capitalism.

Yeah, everything is big. He said the buildings, the businesses. Quote ends there. But she elaborates that he went on to explain that parents reflect the mindset that bigger is better when envisioning their offspring. This twisted bitch.

She surveys another endocrinologist. What a lunatic thing to say. Here's a thought experiment. Substitute every instance of tall with obese. Think about it. Not beautiful. I'm sorry.

It's not. Beautiful. But I was only half Peter's anybody. Stay out of it. The pro immigration, pro obesity thing. Clearly, clearly tall people are the real problem. And we have to whip out our machetes and cut all of them down.

And it has everything to do with climate change and diminishing resources and nothing at all to do with the fact that tall people are just physically more attractive and commanding. Nothing at all to do with our contempt for natural hierarchy that can't be hacked.

They can't be hacked by social engineering for word games. Well, what do you make of Steve Saylor's response to Maddie Iglesias where he said, you and I are both very tall, but I find female prejudice against short men is a major social problem that contributes

to the low marriage rate. But these days, nobody dares criticize female bigotry against the shorter half of the male population, even though we should get over it. I mean, I agree. I think women's tastes are also probably

very algorithmized now because they're fundamentally also and contagious. And if one bitch says under 6'1 need not apply, so does every other bitch. I'm not like the other girls. I only date 5'9 and under.

I don't need a man to be over six feet tall. I guess, I mean, I do have an aversion to men lids that feels Well, shorter than you. That's my

deal breaker. I can't. Well, you're shorter than I am. Yeah, I mean, I'm short, but I average in America. I would not want to date a man who's shorter than me. Yeah, but you're of average. I'm slightly

taller. I'm taller than my preferred average height. Exactly. Yeah, so I there is, I mean whatever the heart wants, what it wants, I could, you know, I could fall in love

with anyone. If they were race, if they were racist, I mean, there's really, you know, I don't know. You guys six foot tall model ex-girlfriend had this crazy story about how she met a man in a French

cafe who was like so shockingly handsome and witty and she fell in love with him within moments of meeting him and they talked for hours at this quaint little table and then he got up and he was like five, six and she was like Oh, that's tough. That's tough. And that makes her

sound like she's a callous bitch, but I get it. No, that's totally a normal standard reasonable response. And I was surprised to see Sailor, I don't know, because that feels like such a well, he's humble bragging. Well, he didn't volunteer

the information I asked. Well, he did volunteer the information. He said I'm very tall. He said I'm very tall. He said I'm very tall, but it's nice of him to advocate. I get maybe, I don't know, but it seems very subtle and tactful because he didn't advertise his exact height, but he did

technically say he was tall, but it seemed atypical for him, you know, within the realm of human biodiversity to have such a prescriptive sort of take about what one ought to, you know, what traits one ought

to desire in someone. I mean, it seems the following Sailor's logic, which I think he certainly actually believes in because what you see is what you get with him, there's a wealth of diversity among humans, and so

there will be a wealth of diversity of sexual preferences. Yeah, but that's not what he was saying. What was he saying? He was saying that women There's a bias against short ends. Yes, and that women, we need to address female bigotry. Well, how do you address something that's also

probably fairly natural and instinctual? Well, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, that was why I was a little... The lady does protest too much. I don't know. And you don't have any problems in that department. See, you're just the right height. All these women in New York, specifically these two women are flooding my DMs.

They're asking me about Carpatho-Rusyns. They're asking me why some people are good at tennis. He did pawn me off on Razeem Khan when I asked him about Carpatho. I was like, so what do you think about Carpatho-Rusyns real or not? I split into Steve's DMs once

and asked him a question about crime stats and his response was just probably period. I asked him questions about... I did, I was asking him why slobs were good at tennis and he told me

that Australians and people from California used to be good at tennis because they could play year round. Because they're tall. No, because of the weather. This is basically an anti-white article.

What? The short people article. I thought that it was a little anti-black honestly. It's pro-Semitic anti-white. Well, Steve Saylor had that interesting statistic that actually African Americans are shorter on average than white

people but have more variations. So there's more extremely tall black people and more extremely short black people. Which is interesting. I mean, I have no comment on that. It doesn't really say one thing to another. But this is the kind of stuff I live for just like kind of neutral

factual observations. Human bio diversity. I ascribe no value judgment to it. Me neither. How could I? Yeah, it is what it is. It's a fact of life. This is one of those articles that's like

basically there's a quote that I'll read. I'll get to it. Because I think it really just like gets to the heart of the matter. The short are also inherent conservationists. Which is more crucial than ever in this world of 8 billion.

Thomas Samaras who has been studying height for 40 years and is known in small circles, no one intended as the godfather of shrink think. That's not very catchy. A widely unknown philosophy. That considers small superior calculated that if we kept our proportions

the same, but we're just 10% shorter in America, we would save 87 million tons of food per year. Not to mention trillions of gallons of water, quadrillions of BT use of energy and millions of tons of trash. When you mate with shorter people, you're

potentially saving the planet by shrinking the needs of subsequent generations. Lowering the height minimum for perspective partners on your dating profile step toward a greener planet. So true queen. That's exactly what I tell myself when I end up dating yet another guy who's

5'9 and under. I'm saving the planet and conserving energy. Um That is demented. But this article is basically another one of these classic NYT articles about promoting austerity.

They're getting you to accept like a lower quality of life in a diminished range of options. You're dying because you're too tall. By convincing you that you actually are a good person. Why don't we talk about how fat people need more food? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like clearly the real burden in our society, the real money

suck. I live like a fucking dog, dude. I know. But clearly it's tall people. I eat once a day. Not obese people or illegal immigrants. What are you talking about? It's tall people. I don't drink water. You bitch.

I'm chronically dehydrated. Leave me out of it. Leave me and Steve out of it, okay? Are you tall for a woman? You're like at the cutoff. You're at the cusp. Here's my thing. If there was a short people

genocide, I would absolutely be shipped off to short people Auschwitz. But you would possibly make the cut. I think I would. I don't think. I definitely don't think I'm short. You know, you're not short. But I'm petite.

So people kind of think I'm smaller than I am because I was a just small frame. But actually I'm, you know, I'm five seven. And like the question also is not whether people should be shorter or should be promoting shortness. It's like

we're already there with all the seed oils and the hunching in front of your computer or smartphone. Even tall people are shorter because they're perpetually hunched over and have shitty posture. Exactly. Like we're only getting shorter uglier, fatter, more

retarded, more low IQ, more bad at reading comprehension. It's not. I just want you to shorter attention span. Yeah. To plead a dopamine. I hate this phrase, but they want you to eat the bugs.

They literally do. One could really conclude that they seem to want us to be eating those bugs. You'll owe nothing and you'll be happy and you'll be short and you'll fuck short people and your kids will be fucking short and sick and weird

and autistic and you'll fucking like it. Okay. And it's also like objectively true as like the country gets less northern European and it's ethnic composition. It's going to get probably shorter on the whole. Is that true? I think so probably.

No. I still I don't feel like there's that much what's the word or what's the word that you're allowed to say. Miscegenation. Is that the bad one? Or

inner, inner breeding? Yeah. I mean, there's, there's probably going to be I mean, that's sort of what America was founded on. It's kind of inevitable, right? I don't think that's I think the majority of people still group

with, you know people that are similar to them. But the country is like just objectively demographically getting less white. I don't know. I don't know if that correlates to shorter people but if you're talking about like immigration from like South America probably, right?

Again, I don't mean this in a pejorative or judgmental way. I'm just spitballing here. The other thing is like I read somewhere that American life expectancy has fallen for the second year in a row.

That's not surprising, I guess. So why are we talking about you should aspire to be a short person with a shorter life span you aspire to be dead so you can conserve resources.

And Libs love to cope about their perceived deficits like being five foot even as the author says. It made me sad when she said her kids eat like gerbils and how horrible

people are. It's because you're neurotic. People are proud. She was like criticizing people who are proud of their children growing tall and brag about how they have to buy them new shoes and how much they eat and she said my kids eat like

gerbils and they're tiny. My kids have been wearing the same shoe size for three years. It's not at all failure to thrive syndrome. What is wrong with wanting to see your kids grow big and strong? I'm like Thomas Chatterton Williams.

I'm proud that my child is blonder than me. I think his hair will get darker and he's going to end up looking like Michael Tracey or Anatoly Carlin, I know. I don't say that. I think they're both cute.

I think we're both on the record saying many times that Michael Tracey is cute. You think we had crushes on him or something and maybe a lot of times we say it. This is like another thing that white Anglo people have a hard time with.

Every other ethnic, racial group speaks openly and frankly about these matters and aspires for a better life for their kids which implies that their kids grow bigger and stronger

than them. There will be an abundance mindset about there being enough resources that they will have access to to sustain their families. They want their kids to

have access to good schools and nutritious food that helps them grow and they don't view being short as some kind of moral referendum

but as a circumstantial thing. Liberals be crazy. That's why I love reading The New York Times because everything they churn out is such a work of art. I see a lot of people throwing around takes about how neither left nor right can produce good art

or good culture anymore which is true but The New York Times is really at the vanguard of producing good art and culture I think. They're on to something. They're doing their thing. I don't think ideologs should make art frankly. Or have children.

They shouldn't do anything procreative political ideology you're probably not going to make good art. I wonder who came up with this think piece where they were like okay we're going to hire

a tiny small woman on the horn. Was Liz Bruyne not available? She's medically short. They were like we need a spinner to write an article about climate change austerity next.

I love my height honestly. You have a good height. You and my sister actually have the same height. I don't love my height but I have to say it's never kept me up at night. I don't think about my height ever.

You're well proportioned. You're of I consider you to be of average height if maybe a little on the shorter side. I photograph tall. You do photograph tall? Literally no one who's I'm not claiming we're normal or sane

or well adjusted. But no one who's like a grown adult ever thinks about a their height or be the height of their perspective partner. I think women think about the height of their perspective partner is

I think that there is women do want to couple with tall men typically. Yeah, I want a couple with a man who has a couple inches over me. The whole like under six one need not apply is also cope because it just

cuts off a bunch of perspective options. Exactly. And in that way that the female bigotry is extreme and should be relaxed. You're spiting yourself by spiting others. Well, it's also I think

the issue is less even I think with women's sexual romantic preferences and with the way that people attempt to couple which is through these algorithmic services and apps and stuff

sexual frame bridges. Yeah, where they can make these kinds of demands and specifications, whereas when people meet organically they have less like barriers for entry because you are seeing people as like human

beings who have like special charisma and you know sex appeal that transcends just like categorical metrics. Yeah, when you finally meet somebody in person, you're like,

who is this weird Croatian fascist get away from my friend group. Very tall, though. But it makes sense, you know but like, okay, how tall are your boyfriends on average like six foot? They're tall, but they're not

prohibitively tall. No, no, they're not like Steve Saylor's. No, they are and where do I find a man like that? No, yeah, they're probably about six foot, but I've definitely dated guys who were very close to my height too and

didn't care and even liked it because you can really form a narcissistic bond with someone that's really on your level. I almost don't like when I guys to talk because I don't like the power differential so much.

I briefly dated a guy who was six four once and it was painful and intolerable because it was very hard to kiss him and I didn't feel like a tiny dainty small bean. I felt like his Guatemalan servant.

He was like, Anna, how's that flatbread coming? I knew a very tall guy. Like, maybe six five or six, you know, extremely tall, you could say, who told me

his preference were for women who were like under five five. That's a paraphernalia, right? Whatever, people, he likes him, he likes a spinner. No, I'm not gonna, you know, whatever. Clearly a sex proverb.

I think it has to do with other things, honestly, that I won't get into but but I do remember being, I felt kind of this like indignancy not for myself, but

I was like being rejected. Not for me, but I was like, there are women out there who are five ten, six feet tall even, and they have a limited dating pool, and you should be available to them

rather than the other thing it's like they call it in this article, everybody always has to coin a new or tall privilege, you can call it that, but tall people live also in a hell of their own, like they have to

cram themselves into cramped restaurant boots and airplane seats. It's not a walk in the park to be extremely tall, and I feel like also really beautiful, really tall women

get passed over a lot, because they're intimidating, and they're often very lonely and insecure, because nobody approaches them. Yeah, she talks to another endocrinologist, endocrinologist who said that though

heightism exists period period concerned parents wrong we think height is the key to success in belonging. Dr. Grimberg said there are some short people who thrive and do

phenomenally well and lead fantastic lives, and there are some tall people who are miserable. I love how they say the quiet part loud, like the exception that proves the rule that tall people are on the whole considered more attractive and powerful and successful in their lives. There are some short people,

like Lex Friedman and Roman Polanski who thrive in spite of their adversity. And some tall people are sad. Some tall people are also genetically predisposed to being depressive and suicidal and choose to end their lives

with Canadian euthanasia. Even if you're an absolute Chad, you know, we all get lonely, we all need... Being tall is a disadvantage of its own. Just look at Jan Sixth and that extremely tall hot guy who

wore that game of thrones like that. Was he tall? He easily could have been. He seemed pretty tall. I'm kidding. He was obviously like... He became a meme because he was wearing a retarded outfit and some like paid actor, like a crisis actor who parachutes into like historic events.

Jay Epps got him on the horn and said, we need you down here. Ray Epps was the same. I like how she alleges that being tall makes you more susceptible to drone attacks. That's probably true. The Bedouins in Yemen

are pretty tall, right? They have that Adrian Brody like tall and slender build. Sad. Beautiful people. Yeah, you could... There could be some low branches that could pose a threat or, you know,

an overpass or to help people up to duck and... You might get beheaded by some scaffolding. Exactly. Like that guy in the Exorcist or the Omen or whatever it was. If a safe falls out of a window, it'll hit a tall person, slightly

sooner than it would have had. If a grand piano falls out of a skyscraper. So it's not so great up there now, is it? When I'm drone bombing you. My only

real beef with all people is like whenever you go to a concert that's like standing room only, some tall ass Nordic boop, somehow mysteriously magically always stands in front of you. Yeah.

Oh. I mean... I'm just trying to get flicked by Morris' tits sweat. Get out of the way. Yeah, and a lot of some repertory theaters don't have such good sight lines

here in New York and often even if a tall person sits in front of you in a movie theater here. Especially if you're frequenting foreign films as I am. They block a lot of the... I saw Madame Bovary, I was kind of I couldn't. I only really understood

half of what was happening in that movie. Because of the tall people. Because of the tall people, yeah. We'd like a Randy Newman short people, but for tall people like an anthem about... That's what we need. Tall people are. They're the new deplorable.

How's the weather up there? Okay. Let's be real. All of this is because the readership of The New York Times is overwhelmingly short. Oh yeah. They know their audience. It's like a Jewish and Catholic

boomers in NYC. Yeah. Irish. 5'6 to 5'10. I mean the average... The average height for women in America is 5'4. The average height for men in America is 5'10.

Which is not... I happen to think that 5'10 is the perfect height for a man, for me personally as a 5'4 woman. For you it's probably somewhere around 6'5. No, I think 5'10 is nice, honestly. I like... I like seeing eye to eye.

My dad's about 5'10, so that works for me. In my weird culture complex with my dad. My dad was 5'10, which was tall for an Armenian. Yeah. My parents never got to live the American dream

because both of their children are shorter than them. Sad. Well, my parents are, you know, part of a Soviet eugenics program. Yeah. There are certain things, of course, that you can also do to make yourself appear taller, like doing Pilates

or weight training, but... I definitely see some manlets at the gym who... Much like reading Fight Club, I would never begrudge someone for working on their physique,

you know? Well, you have to. That's the thing, because I'm like, you kind of have to because you have so much to compensate for. And it's still... I don't know.

There's still an inadequacy. Yeah, I mean, being a woman is just like inherently easier because whether you're 5'4 or 5'10, men still love you. So true. Whereas I can imagine being like a 5'6 man

produces a lot of inadequacies that lead you to become the crisis actor president of Ukraine. I mean... Yeah. A lot of short people

are tyrannical. Yeah, there is a quote in this article about that. Nancy Blaker, a Netherlands-based researcher who at one time studied social status said that short men counter to prevailing stereotypes may, quote, compensate for being short

by developing positive attributes. It's not about being aggressive and mean, it's about being behave in smart strategic ways that can also mean being pro-social. It's literally about being aggressive and mean. Like Napoleon. Like Napoleon, yeah. They behave in...

They become incredible military strategists. Actors. The best male actors. I mean, okay. So true. Are short kings with... I say I'm shorter than I am in self-tapes, actually.

But you mentioned this before, why? Because so many male actors are... It's not... But they can put him on a box, right? Yeah. But in general, I think in the film industry is one in which there is already

some heightism in the opposite direction. I watched a really good Spaghetti Western the other day called El Grande Silenzio starring Joskinsky and Jean-Louis Tritignon. Am I pronouncing that correctly? R.I.P.

And just looking... Eyeballing them, you would assume that these are tall guys because they have such big, profound, emotive faces and presences and they're both five-eight kings. So actually, they probably didn't have to do a lot of weird box

pyrotechnics on that movie because the protagonist and the villain were equally matched in terms of being five-eight on Google which in real life means five-six. Yeah. I mean, you can see their proportions when they zoom out.

Tom Cruise is very small. Yeah, but he has like a big, gorgeous head. Yeah, and a gorgeous big smile. And this is like the opposite of what fashion models are where they have slim but large bag of bones

bodies with a tiny, sculpted brontosaurus head. Because you don't want to have an overly big head on the runway. Right. Because you don't want it to overtake like the fashion.

I thought about this a lot clearly. Yeah, you should write the next article about Heidism in the New York Times. I'm actually average height in America but my haters claim that I'm, quote, 4'11".

A lot of people think I'm shorter than Anna and they have it all wrong. Here's why. This is why millions must die among my haters. Right.

The amount of people that must die are the... the same amount of people who don't like me. Yeah. It's so weird how that just like... If I had to put a number to how many would have to die,

I would be... I'm just gonna pull up my Patreon stats and round all them up. But so clearly, also a clear cut case of this woman's like resentment, that she, quote, 5' even. And why

did she just tap that at 5 after taking the human growth hormone? Well, that just means that she was supposed to be like 4'9 or 4'11. She was gonna be medically short and now she's merely on the short end of the normal spectrum, I guess.

Right. It is, I mean... How short were her parents that they anticipated this and made her inject herself for 3 years? This is really an article about hating her parents. So she's taking it out on her twins. By making them as small

as possible. I'm doing this to conserve the world's resources for refugees and not at all because I hate my parents. I mean, I... You might be one of my shortest friends.

Damn. You know, I feel like I tend to group with other people who are familiar. And I would have a hard time with being friends

with someone that was medically short to be honest. I have a story about this. You do? Yeah, one of my first job interviews in New York City was for this early girl boss website called Refinery29

when I was an aspiring journalist and writer. And I walked into the offices and I thought it was like bring your daughter to work day because there was this tiny person there and she whipped around aggressively and confidently offered her hand

and she was like, I'm the boss here I'm going to be interviewing you and she was literally a midget. Like I had to bend down and I didn't know the protocol or the etiquette. I was like, do I bend over? Is that condescending?

Do I just offer my morally superior perch? Needless to say, I didn't get the job. Avery freaked out. But also it was pathologically shy and a horrible interviewer. But I remember her asking her where she got her clothes. Because I meant it

in a complimentary way. I love your... What's that, baby gap? She was like I go to baby gap. She literally shopped in the kids section of gap. No.

No. It's all coming back to me now. The havoc these short people have. That's why Randy Newman wrote the song. Yeah, he was on to something. They're a menace and a nuisance. They. Not me.

They're not me at all. There's something wrong with them. Why are they so small? I do be wearing heels all the time. Which gives people the impression that I'm 5'6". Well, that's the nice... I will say as a woman... We've talked for so long about this stupid article.

It's okay. I can go all night. How much I hate short people. I hate myself. You know, I throw on a pair of heels. I'm 5'9". I'm 5'9". I'm 10". I like to wear a big chunky.

That's why Ann Coulter wears the kitten heels. Those legs though. Contrary to popular belief, every woman, even the most overtly racist and sexist one wants to feel like a dainty little flower.

You don't want to overpower and intimidate men physically. That's not sexy. It doesn't make you feel good. No. But I like to wear a heel. Me too. When I lie about the reason I wear heels.

Because I'm just like, it's just like a medical thing. Because I'm very flat footed. Which is true by the way. And it's painful for me to wear flat shoes. For my arches. But of course it's like a huge cope. Yeah.

I would ask corral shoes still. Because it's a small heel. It's a perfect amount of heel. It's like a two inch heel. 5'8 is a good height for a woman. I agree. I would say that's probably my ideal height for a woman. 5'8.

5'10 is glamorous and Amazonian. 6' is probably pushing it into the realm of... Getting it to freak territory there. Not an envious position to be in. 5'4 is like acceptable and fuckable.

And most people don't notice. Totally normal height Anna. But is the realm of paraffilia Men don't care. Yeah, they don't care. Men definitely do not suffer from

the bigotry of heightism. Here's another fucked up instance of them saying the quiet part loud. At the very end where they say like long live short people. Where wasn't Hitler short?

Famous list. Because we've googled Hitler's chart. Because she makes the case a little earlier about how many people So that means he's 5'6. Someone getting murdered outside. She talks about how a lot of people

think that tall people make good leaders. Which is all true. It's... There is something about it. Literally no one ever in the history of history has ever thought a tall person made a good leader. I think American presidents

are typically Obama was tall. Bill Clinton was tall. Trump's tall. Biden's tall. But they're symbolic mouthpieces. The real leaders are Mussolini and Berlusconi. Disgusting crippled

manlets with a chip on their shoulder who instead of becoming great visual artists choose to impose their will. 5'3. Who got more pussy than that guy nobody.

I went to the Picasso Museum in Antibes when I was in Cannes over the spring, summer and it was basically literally a museum to his sexual conquests because he was doing a lot of fucking and sucking even in this provincial little village.

Women love short guys because women's ultimate goal is I can fix him. I can inject him as human growth. That's what I'll say to if you're a short guy

who's inclined towards a gym, lifestyle honestly I think you're better off cultivating your talents and maybe even being a little slovenly because you'll do better

because when you do kind of overwork on your physique you see inadvertently draw more attention to your shortness because then you're kind of what you're saying. You're kind of packing it all in

whereas if you you're wearing your insecurity on your sleeve and women don't like that. No, no, no. Just double down, look like shit, get fat. How tall was Orson Welles? Orson Welles was tall I think.

I bet he was six or taller even. He seems like he had a man with a lot of presence. I also find Orson Welles sexy. Holy shit.

How tall is Woody Allen? 5'6". Yeah, he's small. Welcome to Red Scare Podcast. Where we Google the kinds of famous men. It's going great. 5'5". Okay.

5'6 is basically the cutoff sexual viability acceptability in men, I think. I just, I think it's yeah, probably. Dasha, if you're a perfect man

materialized in front of you right now and was like rich, handsome, Jewish witty, racist and 5'6", would you make a life with this man? Would you be the one to work into his search

games work? I would, I would. How tall is search games work? Birkin was tall, but he was not, for sure. I'm going to guess I'm going to guess 5'9", according to Google, so 5'7". This is fun, y'all.

Yeah, this is 5'10". Yeah, right. Jay Birkin is 5'8". What? Charlotte Gainesburg is 5'8". She towered over. Brigitte Bardot is 5'5". Cutie, okay.

There we go. 5'5' is nice. When they say 5'5", they mean 5'3". Just like dock 2". Yeah, yeah. You know, I should have done the thing that smart women do, just that I was 5'6". I'm going to do something new. Because they would have docked the 2'' anyway.

Yeah, me and Anna both 5'6". I'm googling Dasha Necrossover height. Okay, the red scare reddit comes up. Oh, healthyceleb.com Healthyceleb.com says I'm 5'5". 51 kilograms. What's that? Like 110 pounds.

Okay, it's less than that. That's nice. According to facts, buddy. I'm 5'5". Okay, I'll take that. Dasha has dated number one Adam Freeland. Number two Paul Jonathan. What the fuck is that?

Paul Jonathan Coupo. She has a beauty spot on her chin and a mole on the left side of her face near her nose. Her favorite alcoholic drink vodka. Is that true? I guess so, yeah. But all these sites, they just aggregate

info from Google. Oh yeah, here's this freak. In some corners of the world, a celebration of short stature is actually happening. Arna Hendricks, a 6'4". An artist uses performance and exhibitions to encourage people to embrace fewer inches.

He's even restricted dairy from his son's diets and only allows them minimal sugar in an attempt to limit their growth, saving them from the ills of height. It's time for tall people to get off our high horses, Mr. Hendricks said. Don't be overly confident when you are tall because you are probably going to die younger,

have more health problems, and you are polluting more. Polluting more? Come on. Arna Hendricks. He's pretty cute. That's not what I was expecting. What else is on our docket?

The Andrew Tate. Oh. We kind of, we touched on it. We already talked to Andrew Tate. We already someone texted me. You called this Andrew Tate weeks ago and I was like,

sort of, you know, he was very openly, like, if you're in Romania, you're sex trafficking, that's not a mystery solved. He was very openly bragging about

Mashiach, Mashiach, Mashiach. I almost went in the Mashiach truck today. Honestly, it was a bump in by Washington's Park. I hope our mics are picking up. This

more often bourgeois music for both guests, the Rivian rhythms. Yeah, Nicola's theory was like a show of strength and cooperation from

Romanian authorities because Romania's neighbors Bulgaria and Croatia got into the Schengen zone. And Romania got declined. Oh, for real?

So they were showing that they could play ball with the rest of continental Europe. No more Kuna in Croatia. It's the EU now. I

love that they blast this music at night. That's awesome. I feel like I'm in a Beirut dance party. I know. I feel like I'm queen of my husband's hair. I am favorite wife.

All the other wife in Habibi. Habibi of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Maddie's Muslim now. I know, I heard. She's like Tate Pilled. Well, actually to become Muslim

all you have to do is say, there is no deity but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet in front of two people. Sincerely. And she said she actually did it during quarantine but there's a very low barrier to entry.

Yeah. To become Muslim. Which makes me think like do you, Groucho Mark style, do you really want to be part of any club that would have you? Do you really want to be part of that religion? The music just cut out.

Yeah, yikes. Plus we all know that you know what, I was going to say something but I'm going to not. Well, we all know the Quran's trash. No, I don't want to cut that. Okay, but I just don't want the fatwa.

Yeah. No, you do want the fatwa, please. Look what the fatwa did for Salman Rushdie. This man had like I don't want the fatwa. He had 30 odd years of international fame and a pussy buffet

of beautiful blonde schixes a revolving door of women because he was pursued by Islamist authorities. I don't think the fatwa was going to be good for me. And then some losers stabbed his eye out but he was old.

So it's kind of a worthy way to make your exit. I don't want it. I already live in so much fear. They don't issue fatwas anymore because they're all busy gaming. Yeah. That's a good one for red square hot days. Yeah, they're too busy.

The Taliban's all on Twitter now. They've been very light with the fatwas lately. Think about it. Have there been any high-profile fatwas in our lifetime that we've heard about that the western press has picked up on none? You would think that they'd issue a fatwa against Donald Trump for

droning Soleimani. Right. But they didn't. What does it take these days? Good point. Similarly, the Catholic Church hasn't issued an anathema in ages.

What's an anathema? That's like a Catholic fatwa. It's not a fatwa. It just means you're outside of the church. But that seems so nice and civilized compared to the Mennonites do it and they sing they go anathema, anathema,

anathema. They like bump it out of a Moroccan party bus. Imagine if you got a fatwa issued against you tomorrow. I can't deal with that. You would be catapulted to a global superstar overnight.

You'd be like a female andretate. I look like a baller university y'all. But andretate's out on bail. He's not actually detained right now. I think it was just like for show.

And also honestly, you deserve to get arrested if you're like an internet influencer who cops to human trafficking. You bring it upon yourself and there's that whole plot line that they wheeled out for the normies

and Greta Thunberg clapped back and they were able to geolocate him based on the pizza box with Romanian lettering on it. That was clearly a ruse, whatever. I'm so sick of Greta Thunberg with her ratty ass.

Me too, I promised I wouldn't say anything negative about women's appearances. She's raggedy, raggedy bitch. This raggedy little hoe. Somebody said I should consider a career in acting and play Ayn Rand in the biopic. Ooh, I love that for you

actually. But what if you were cast as Greta? Because they need somebody more attractive. But still with that kind of slight fetal alcohol thing that people find so charming shame on you.

It would be the role of a lifetime because neither of us could play Moala, let's be real. I'd be sailing around on that boat. I wish she would just get into her eco-terrorist arc already. But also where is Greta now?

She's like, okay, she clapped back at Andrew Tate, but she hasn't really, she's like Kanye. We haven't really heard from her lately. She's not around. She fucking sucks, dude. Yeah, she's like a shrill and annoying libtard mouthpiece, but I wish her the best. That's the thing. That's the thing people don't really

know about me. I wish Lex Friedman the best. I wish Andrew Tate the best. I don't wish Andrew Tate the best. Actually, I, you know, I think he should be trapped in a camhore dungeon for a decade at least. I'm curious what kind of...

But I respect that he's good at chess. Is he? What's his yellow? Is this public? I think it's like eight. Someone told me it was like 1800 Blitz. It's like pretty high. And his dad is like the best black guy to ever play chess or something. I mean, aren't black guys good at chess?

They're always out there in Washington Square and Tompkins Square. My chess tutor. Blasting sigs and hitting the chess board. Shout out to my chess tutor. Your chess tutor is black. No.

He's Jewish, obviously. But he... I was getting kind of down because I've had... I've been on a little bit of a losing streak. I haven't been playing as... Like how bad?

Well, I had one... Okay, so before Christmas I had a day where I played chess for like eight hours and my yellow nose and fell by like 100 points, basically. That's gambling. That's a gambling addiction, I know.

And then I tilted and whatever. But he was like, don't get down on yourself, you know? He was like, it's a game that literally homeless people are good. You're obsessed with a board game that homeless people play.

They don't feel too bad about yourself. Literally, your average homeless person or Chinese child can easily beat you with chess, Dasha. So don't feel bad. You should walk around the city

in your Mew Mew coat and challenge homeless people with chess. Imagine... I mean, imagine if you had like money riding on it and it could be like a John Cassavetes movie where a bunch of like loan sharks and quote bookmakers tried to kill you.

That could be fun, yeah. What's the one? Mikey and Nikki. Killing of a Chinese bookie. Killing of a Chinese Dasha. Killing of a Chinese chess child.

Yeah. I played a... I beat a 14 year old in Brazil recently. You're like Ben Shapiro. Some girl was like, how old are you? She was like, hi, how old are you? I was like, how old are you?

She was like 14, I was like, I'm 20. Totally got her ass, dude. That's good. I mean, maybe she got a humbling experience out of it. Do you think Andrew Tate was really human trafficking?

Uh... Uh... Okay, human trafficking is in there. What is human trafficking? It's Michael Tracy. Okay, I'm going to take the opposite position. No, I'm just... I'm going to play like the Aspergian

devils out of kit. What is human trafficking? Is it that they were humanly traffic? No. That's what he seemed to imply on Twitter. I don't know, I have no doubt... That he was specifically referring to some... I'm going to human traffic Michael Tracy. The problem

with human trafficking discourse is that it is very much real. Okay. But it has done a massive change from both sides

in that both the empowered sex worker, happy hooker or whatever is both as real and as much of a contrived fantasy

as the shackled suffering prostitute. And both are like held up as the symbol of the prostitute par excellence. The platonic ideal.

The platonic prostitute. That people use for various you know the sex worker rights people champion I don't even know what this idea about...

Well, they'd love to hop on the computer and be like well I have an only fans to stop grossing earner because it's so easy to get sex traffic under capitalism and the patriarchy which by the way are two mutually exclusive values.

So therefore I've taken matters into my own hands and become a free agent. They love to do that thing. But similarly the like suffering prostitute industrial complex also justifies

lots of like uh you know it's funding a lot of like NGOs and kind of draconian and liberal measures that severely limit

people's freedom and the truth of it is it's like it's the oldest profession Well there's a lot presumably like a lot of NGOs who are like invested in the continuation of sex trafficking just like they were invested

in the continuation of black oppression because it's their bread and butter if that... Yeah, makes you think dries up, they're out of a job and they have to come up with a new thing to be impassioned about and raise money for.

And it'll never I mean there are legitimately women who are in sexual slavery I mean I feel like half the female population Romania is probably sex traffic at one point or another. Eastern Europe and the other half has AIDS.

I grew up with a half Egyptian half Romanian guy who was an exchange student to my school who became one of my best friends and he said, not BAP and he said Even the dogs in Romania have AIDS Tambra

Do you ever see that documentary about the Romanian orphans who have pain? I have, yeah. So fucking sad dude. I think my mom showed me that film. That was my solo. Yeah. That's rough stuff. Yeah, but like, okay, sex trafficking

or human trafficking, whatever Human trafficking is when someone takes your fucking passport. Right, which is allegedly what Andrew and Tristan Tate did. And does not give it back to you or kidnaps you and gets you addicted to

drugs and sells you to Saudi guys or which is, does very much happen. Yeah, especially in Eastern Europe. Sex trafficking is not simply like someone that you have sex with to Dubai

to have sex with them. Yeah, or like obviously people should not be pushed into sex work out of like economic desperation. It's an unfortunate fact, but that is not human trafficking.

So I don't know Andrew, yeah, I mean, I guess Andrew Tate was not trafficking these women, but he was, well, the allegation is that he and his brother withheld the passports of two women. One was a Romanian national, the other one was American national and kept

them in there like Osama bin Laden ass Romanian compound and that's what they were like nabbed on. Well, that's wrong, but also like who knows what really happened and I feel like human trafficking while it's real and does exist

is one of those like liberal buzzwords that they get all hot and bothered about because they like quote want to make a difference. Well, they didn't used to Yeah, there was a really sigh up them on anything. We should actually do that. We should come up with a new buzzword that

used to call it white slavery. I tweeted this actually about how people don't talk about white slavery anymore and now people kind of are, but they don't call it that, but that's what they're talking about. Well, you can't because the whole society is anti-white. I figure I can get away with anything

if you say it. If I just speak in Jordan Peterson voice. But Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia are like real hot beds of this exactly this the sort of thing where people children women are

legitimately kidnapped and sold into slavery and that is something that shouldn't happen but is obscured by politics and discourse in both directions.

There are like many women and children specifically who are currently in a modern day institution of bondage. And like nobody really cares. Well, you know who was doing human trafficking was Gia Tolentino's parent. Oh, right. Yeah, I forgot

about that. So it's not merely you know, sex work I think is the most like vivid and heinous example of it. It's the thing that people fixate on because it involves sex. Right, but people get trafficked to be like domestic laborers. Triangle of sadness

Filipino laborers. Exactly. And they basically clean toilets for living but are also sexually assaulted on the job by shadowy masters and overlords and have no rights because they'll get shipped back to also I mean

modeling is a big kind of trafficking racket as well that is like a big gray area where these girls get what are they called H1BVSIL or whatever. Get Amber Frost on there and she knows.

We really need to pallet cleanse. We really do. We need to get some We need a woman. We need a woman guest. But what was I saying? Something about human trafficking. Oh, modeling. Yeah. That that is

literally a way for attractive young girls to be shuttled around and exposed to all sorts of nefarious infrastructure under the guise of their modeling

careers. These words become Thanks, love. They become like bloated and inflated because anybody can claim to have been sexually assaulted and or human trafficked

and the word loses its meaning but becomes this like Lex Friedman ass like sentimental unctuous call to arms where people are like, oh, we have to like wear cashmere sweaters to combat human trafficking.

I mean, it really is. It is horrible. I mean, Jeffrey Epstein was legitimately trafficking human trafficker like and a lot of those girls were underage their passwords were taken like

that is they were taken to were geistic islands where Bill Clinton did also some fucked up shit to them. So there is it does really mean something and it does mean something truly heinous but nobody cares. But no one actually

cares. Yeah, that's the thing. That's the problem. And should we touch on the Prince Harry stuff? Oh, I did you do any research into that? No. I got we should maybe just like watch the documentary. He has a new book coming out

that I don't really want to read called quote spare. He's been making out of claims lately that his brother Prince William physically assaulted him over his relationship with Meghan Markle that Prince William

topped him. Kate Middleton made Harry Don the Nazi uniform as a gag that his he got frostbite on his penis the most the most kind of bold

and insane claim that he made was that he killed 25 people in Afghanistan but I can always believe it because he's doing like a weird tour of atonement like he stopped short of transitioning but is doing everything in his power to like

I'm so I'm so sick of these royals he has a special talent for making things that are cool and based such as losing your virginity to an older woman

or donning Nazi vestments in regalia or mowing down civilians who have been designated as enemy combatants seem like cringe and embarrassing he clearly didn't kill anybody

he probably had well the legacy of colonialism which the royals are complicit in Anna actually has killed a lot of people so he does have blood on his hands that's what he's really atoning

for colonialism capitalism but yeah we'll watch the dog well you know next week let's really put in the work we've been doing such a good job

we've been very regular we've been regular on like my menstrual cycle and yet in spite of it all I find the strength to come here every seven to ten days and get drunk and talk into a microphone such a hard job

I find the strength to go to my local wine shop but maybe we do a movie maybe we do I don't know maybe we do that's a good question well people are begging us to do traumasome but we can't even get through it I got through it

you watched the whole thing I tapped out at f3 I cried a lot and I took a little note so I'm ready for that but I want to get Adam Curtis on the pod he's been ghosting us why he ghost us

I don't know you like holding this quote holiday in the UK so maybe that's why Europeans do be taking two to three months long holidays circle back I'll take that out Adam baby

please we fucked up bad we had one of the most evil guys we need a palette cleanser wasn't there that sexual assault movie oh she said yeah no one saw it

we would be the only people who saw it there's also a movie that I've been seeing because I get ads on Twitter called women talking and I'm like no thanks they're literally begging pass I'd rather see she said because I bet it'll be more entertaining

and we kind of cut our teeth on this whole me too grind just like the girls in that movie that's true when we make one called all the things she said that's about us responding to me too

so true we're where like girl boss female journalists except we're like he did nothing wrong so we embed ourselves and it says right here these women are coming forth with these allegations when this man has done nothing wrong like slamming on the desk and stuff

I do think Andrew Tate did something wrong confirmed yeah for sure being a shameless bag I'll tolerate the human trafficking aspect he's just a fucking loser I wish I didn't even know who he was yeah me too

anyway we've almost done two hours okay really unnecessary yeah see you in hell
