And we listen to podcasts so you don't have to. As any show will be analyzing a review
in a podcast called Stuff Mom Never Told You. The episode is titled The Asian Fettish.
As always we both listen to the show separately, we haven't discussed anything before and blah, blah, blah.
So without further ado, let's find out once and for all who all these podcasts. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yay!
We're having an exciting audience here today.
Hello, hello, thank you.
Oh, they dropped right off.
Yeah, I see what they started talking about.
He's here.
Yeah, like fuck.
So today we're going to talk about a podcast called Stuff Mom Never Told You.
Yes.
And let me just read you the description from their website.
Give everybody a perspective of what we had to endure.
Hosted by Kristen Conger and Caroline Urban, Stuff Mom Never Told You is the audio podcast
from How Stuff Works.
They get stout into the business of being women from every imaginable angle.
Fuelled by boundless curiosity and rigorous
research, Kristen and Caroline are girls next door gender experts who skillfully decode the biology,
psychology, and sociology of ladies and gents from their evolutionary past to millennial present
to better understand all the stuff mom never told you. So gender experts, that's that's
the one that's sent out to me. I believe that's code for feminists. Yeah, I'll
definitely. And you definitely get that vibe from listening to this that they.
Yeah, so these women are feminists who they're only going life is to sound as
intelligent as possible. The vocabulary coming out of these people's mouths to make nonsensical arguments and statements
and using just the largest words they could possibly find in the dictionary.
It's kind of how I talk when I'm at work.
Right.
You just try to sound like you're smart.
I just throw out, you know, ten dollar words or whatever.
It's a hope that somebody, you know, takes me seriously or something.
So I can relate in a lot of ways.
So this was about a 50 minute long podcast, and it was all about the Asian fetish.
You know, this was a topic that interested me.
I'll take full responsibility for this one.
I picked it out.
And really glad I did, because there was a lot to
to not learn. Yeah. Yeah, it's, they go through a lot of explanation from back from like imperialism
and stuff of how the Asian fetish or the, I guess, preoccupation with the Asian culture and Asian women. I
guess it sort of makes you know sense I'm an idiot so I don't know I believe
witherset what they're telling me but it's I think the thing that I got most
hung up with about this podcast was the inflection in their voice and
fucking was it just never stopped irritating me.
Yeah, it was like,
and they're just all up and down.
I can't say that, but before we get too far along
because Kevin and I both have a ton of clips from the show,
I'm sure there's a bunch that overlap.
But what we always like to do is start with the short clip
that we think best summarizes the entire episode.
So if you want, why don't you start with a mind that says clip that sums up the show
for me.
But the whole under-representation of Asian characters in this show that takes place in
a prison does sort of reflect the existing stereotype of Asians as the quote-unquote model minority, that they
never do anything wrong. They just study math and get good grades and get married and
go on to be model citizens. When even if some people do think that that model minority
stereotype is positive, like, hey, we're not saying that you break the law, so shouldn't
you be grateful? It's still squashing entire groups of people down to a one-dimensional representation that doesn't reflect reality.
Absolutely.
Okay, so I probably should have set that one up a little bit better.
They were talking about Oranges the New Black,
which is apparently a racist show because it doesn't have enough Asians.
So these are prison inmates, a show about prisoners.
There aren't enough Asians, and that is somehow racist.
These women could find racism in a sunset.
How is that a possibility racist?
Like this isn't reflecting reality at all.
I've never been to a woman's prison,
but I'm guessing there aren't a ton of Asians there.
Am I wrong?
Is that crazy? I know. You could probably go to like Japan and probably not find a lot
of Asian women in prison. No, it's probably not black women in Japan. I mean, I don't, yeah, it's...
There's no way to make these cons happy. There's, I'm convinced of it. There's nothing you could
possibly do that they'd be like, okay, that is exactly the way
that you're supposed to say that,
and you've done this very well.
Anything you do or say is a microaggression
and ultimately racist in these two women's eyes.
It's really unbelievable.
I don't know how they get through life.
But anyway, more on that in a moment.
It's funny.
You say microaggression.
I only heard that once during the whole podcast, because I thought that was gonna be one of those fucking words that I heard
You said for real. I've heard that I've read I've read the articles about the college campus and everything
But I've never heard someone use that word as if it were a real thing because it's not a real thing
We're PC man. we're pussy crushers.
Brass out. Okay. Speaking of bra, here's my favorite.
Globe trotting bro who comes home with so many stories you wouldn't believe the
women man. Yeah. So there's a little bit of disdain in that voice I would say. Yeah, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr be like they were totally like, hey bro, good micrograce. They were take that exact clip.
Yeah, exactly.
This is how the whole thing sounds.
Hey bro.
All right, so while we're on this subject,
there's one thing that I wanna take a look at.
There's a clip that I have, it's called OMGUDummy.
Just play that and I'll talk about why I clipped that one.
All right.
Yeah, I mean, I will be completely honest, I mean, because why not?
I've only ever dated white guys.
It's not that I have not dated guys of other ethnicities because I have loo-no, but that
has been what I've been attracted to.
Okay, that sentence literally makes the entire point of the show moot.
She agree.
This sentence comes in at about the minute 46 marker.
All they're talking about is this whole crazy history,
and by the way, the story arc of this podcast is amazing.
It starts off in 1915, and by the way, the story arc of this podcast is amazing. It starts off in 1950, no, sorry, it starts off in the 13th century, and somehow gets
really caught up in the early 20th century America and just the crazy racism that was going
on. And then ends with this, well, I have my own thing too, but you know, these guys who like Asian girls,
they're racist. Right. She makes the entire show moot with that statement. Well, I thought it was
funny too, because you know, she's, there's a part in here where they're talking. Now, this is,
who we're referring to as Kristen, I think she's the, yeah, she seems to be the worst of the two
between her and Caroline, but they're both off. Well, they are. Yes, but if I had to choose
in a lineup, which one to not kill, I only had one sock puppet to stick in someone's
mouth. Yes, I would pick Chris. That's correct. And I don't know if they're trying to make
the point that people who are guys who are into Asian women are creepy. That's how the general population sees those people.
And then they go one step further and go,
and usually it's the geeky guy.
I know.
This is just stereotyping all over the place.
Right, so I'm like, okay, so me.
So that's what they're saying is me.
Yeah, it's creepy.
So it's like, as a fat geek guy that I am, I can't be interested. I can't
show any interest in an Asian woman without it being perceived as creepy. In fact, I'll
go one further and say, I can't be. I can't show any interest, anything, as sexually, without
it being creepy. Just being a fat dude. You leaving the house is creepy.
Well, I don't buy you,
except for out of that apartment.
Stay inside, you're a creep.
You've just freaking porced it out.
Boy, no, it's, I just thought it was really bizarre
that they had to pick that out of that way.
Typical, the whole show is just a circular argument
and it's hypocrisy.
So take a step back. I want to go back towards the beginning of the show where they're setting
up why this Asian fetish even exists in the first place.
They're going back way back in time to Marco Polo. Can you play the clip I titled wildly
inaccurate historical fact?
It's interesting when you do look at that gender aspect because East Asia as sort of a whole has been
historically feminized in the eyes of the West sort of as a reaction against its formidable strength.
We could not come in and take over essentially. We couldn't come in and be the boss and so we ended up
fetishizing
entire groups of people and claiming the women for our own
That's insane. Who is all this wee shit? What is she talking about?
It's you have anything to do with that? Yeah, no, I'm a man. I have a penis, therefore, yeah.
No, so you are good.
Yeah, I'm guilty of all previous crimes.
So if you didn't catch that because again,
she was using as many 10 dollar words as she possibly could,
the basic premise is the West discovered the far east
and the far east were superior. And so the West,
because they couldn't conquer them,
decided to say, well, the women are super sexy and hot
and they can be our girlfriends.
Is that an accurate summarization of what you were saying?
Yeah, and that's what I take from it too.
And I think so.
There's a clip I had too that was,
I think in that same conversation where they were talking about guys that went
over there and sexually exploited the region.
This is an oversized clitoris.
She talked about it.
I don't know why they get on that subject, but I don't know either.
But I want to come back to this historical fact, but before not until you play that, I got
to play my favorite one, which is I learned something new.
Native African women had different sized vulvas compared to white women as well.
I didn't know that.
I learned something new from the podcast.
I almost looked at that too and I was like,
it might mind like a fucking idiot going,
wait a minute, what is the fucking vulva?
Like I still have no idea.
What the fuck?
No, I don't.
Go to for me, that's how I talk dirty.
Yeah, just bring that vulva over here.
I don't know how to even go out there.
It's subject.
That's how crazy this podcast gets.
But anyway, so this whole podcast is based, they do come back around to it at the end.
The whole podcast is based on the fact that when the West met the East back in the 13th
century, they couldn't conquer them.
So they had a feminizer or fetishize, I guess is the word that they like to use the entire region.
I'm not a historian, so correct me if I'm wrong here.
But the West never tried to conquer the East.
The Mongolians made it pretty far into Europe, so it did go the other way around.
But the West were just trying to trade with the East.
They were actually much more interested in their spices and some of their inventions than they were with trying to take over their land. There was really no point in which
the West was invaded the East until the Opium War, which was 1839. And at that point, the British
One, so nothing that she says is historically accurate at all. Because when the West did decide to go in and actually conquer the East, the British won,
and then there's this incident I just read about
where the US dropped atomic bombs in Japan,
and they surrendered.
So it seems like this has actually had a pretty good track
record beating up by the East.
So the whole premise of the show is just historically
inaccurate, made up.
I don't know if you know where they came up with that.
It sounds like you're reading a textbook because I don't even know any of that shit.
But here's the thing.
It's fucking a wild.
Here's the thing I took from that.
The whole spice thing.
I love that shit from the, we were over there trading spices.
Like shit was so bland in the old days that they were like, we have to fucking, we have to get in a boat
and get some goddamn salt or pepper or something
from somewhere because we cannot eat this fish anymore
the way it is.
This cumin is fucking amazing.
I have to go out of four-month trek
to get some more of this cumin and get it back into Italy.
They love spices.
I don't even know if that was a spice that was over there.
I have no idea.
Yeah, I have no idea either.
So send your emails to Kevin at iCloud.
Yes, Kevin at iCloud, no.com.
So here's another thing, just to kind of dive back into
and the hypocritical kind of stuff
that the host there, one of the host, Kristen talks about with guys,
because she talks about she's engaged
to a blue-eyed Ken doll looking guy,
which I thought was funny.
She pronounced blue-eyed devil incorrectly, yep.
Okay, and then, so here's a clip.
Did I have a childhood crush on Carrie Grant?
Oh, for sure, totally. Who has a childhood crush on Carrie Grant? Oh for sure, totally.
Who has a childhood crush on Carrie Grant?
In this?
I just...
Where was she born in 1912?
What the fuck is she talking about?
Well, I just thought it was weird
because there's a lot of shit ton of references
to Weezer in here.
So they've got to be like our age.
These girls don't imagine. High school, she listened to Pinkerton over and over again. Right. to weezer in here. So they've got to be like our age these girls out of
Imagine high school. She listened to Pinkerton over and over again. Right. And so
she's got to be late 30s early 40s something like that, right? I can't say that
I'm like a big fucking like Marlena detrick fan. You know, like I just wouldn't
throw out some old school actress thing. Exactly. What the fuck are they talking about?
Yeah, I don't care, I'm just going to fucking black
and white fever.
They're talking about yellow fever.
That's black and white fever.
All right, so I have a bunch more clips here
than I want to get to.
So let's get into it.
All right.
Can you play the clip that is white people playing Asian people
in movies?
These magazine spreads at the time, kind of behind the scenes
of these films, detailing how they transformed white women
into Asian characters, which was just a lot of like racist, awful, like,
here's how we pull our eyes back and put her in yellow face and make her talk with a broken
English accent. It was all pretty horrifying. Okay. So she's explaining how, you know,
we all know that Hollywood is famous
for having Jews play Indians and also,
it was a white person's game for a long time.
So, they're talking about how they had white people
portraying Asian people.
And this is described as horrifying
that they would have them talk with a broken English accent
and pull their eyes back.
Kevin, it's not racism.
Aishan eyes look different than white people eyes. You do have to do something.
Nope. Nope. Nope. They look exactly the same.
I was a microaggression. I apologize. Microaggression.
What pissed me off about this part of the show is that they're talking about
what people playing Asians with no mention of breakfast at Tiffany's.
I was just about to say that.
Big 30's king of terror.
And breakfast at Tiffany's is honestly the racist thing ever done in a movie.
Well, it's, and it actually is.
That's what it is.
It's just like, oh, Jesus Christ.
Enough.
Right.
Well, because it inspires like the impression that everyone does of an Asian.
Now, you know what I mean?
Like that's the, I mean like that's the I mean
It's a way over the top and pretty fucking terrible, but I mean it's you know
That's like what people take and they go oh
Saw you know like the whole thing just like they do I'm Italian so they do you know people fucking do mobster
Right right so I mean it's it is what it is I mean I know personally, so I make fun of you for things that, you know, actually
suck about you.
But yeah, other private, just generalize.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, I, I was thinking the exact same thing about breakfast and tiffities when you were,
you were saying that because it's like holy shit.
That is like the worst.
And they, they do talk about Stanley Kubrick's full metal shit, that is like the worst. And they do talk about Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket,
which is an amazing movie. I'm a big Kubrick fan,
so it's a really, really good movie.
However, that's the movie that kind of coined the me-love-you-long time
and all those things.
I thought I was too live crew that did that too much to do that but okay well they stole it
well real
yeah
yeah i'm sorry i'm going into fucking like uh... yeah
to be
well you know what's cool brick was trying to do was
i guess the thing that bug me up the most most about was not even like the the entire discussion
the Asian thing the frequent use of the word yellow which I was like Jesus.
Enough with that.
I actually have a pretty funny clip if you want to play yellow fever real quick.
The whole yellow fever so called phenomenon and I realize that that is not the nicest way to put it.
It's an uncomfortable phrase to even say on the podcast, Caroline.
This is why our podcast is better.
I say yellow fever.
I'm totally comfortable with it.
It's a very comfortable phrase for me to say I'm the podcast.
But you're right, they do say yellow fever.
It's almost like they're getting away with something. Like, ooh, we're being naughty. We get to say yellow fever, but they're right. They do say yellow, it's almost like they're getting away
with something like, ooh, we're being naughty.
We get to say yellow fever, but they're masking it as,
we're trying to educate people about racism and everything.
Before we get too far away, I do wanna go back
and you play way to not make a point at all.
And this goes back to, they went into a pretty long
diet trap about Hollywood and actors and actresses,
and which really has nothing to do with the premise
of the show at all, but they do get off on it for a while.
So, why did not make a point at all?
We still see Hollywood peddling stereotypical roles
for Asian actresses.
They're either model minorities, you know,
the nerdy kid in class, their dragon lady business women,
their sexy kung fu masters, or non-English speaking immigrants running dry cleaners, or
their prostitutes.
Okay, this clip is pretty funny to me because it can't be stereotypes if it's all over
the place.
Literally, she's saying, you know, these women are always playing either the protagonist or the antagonist or a supporting character or a human being
with a vagina these women are always playing those she literally babes off
so many different roles that they play it doesn't make any sense it also I
can't believe this person is a smart businessman. This is ridiculous.
Here's my favorite part of the entire Hollywood discussion
is they keep talking about this woman named anime Wong.
Anime Wong.
Anime Wong.
Now, how funny to what do you think about the fact
that it's anime?
Like her first name is anime. That is amazing observation. What do you think about the fact that it's anime?
Like her first name is anime.
That is amazing observation.
I did not pick up on that at all.
How did I miss that?
You just kept saying anime.
They said a million times.
Like I'm waiting for them to be like,
manga, manga, Wong, and Hentai fucking...
That's actually...
Don't forget about Bukaki Kwong, who was a great actress
at the 30s.
Bukkaki Kwong.
Well, you remember Bukkaki Kwong.
Yeah, I do.
I have all of us.
School of all our movies.
I have another clip here.
It just is just of her, like Kristen's voice,
that it just annoys the shit out of me and will
I'm sure you as well okay who's one of many delightfully diminutive doll like
women he discovers in Japan what is many of the many diminutive doll like
women he meets in Japan who's one of many delight what is one of many
delightful who's one of many delight what is one of many delightful who's one of the many delightfully
the minute of doll like women he discovers in japan
in japan many of the minute of doll like women he meets in japan
it's very kind of something
you got it i have another example of this that one's ridiculous but play casual
racism
casual racism uh... one of the examples that that Chan gave was they went to her boyfriends,
families placed over the summer and they were going to play beer pong and people were like,
hey, you'll like this. It's just like ping pong. The gasp is amazing. But she's like,
casual racism. Yeah. You know, Kevin, it's just like microaggressions like casual racism. Yeah, you know, Kevin. It's like microaggressions like casual racism
Like people think an agent person is gonna bear pong
Even gendering the entire geography
She likes to pull words out geography
Even gendering the entire geography
Even gendering the entire geography. Geography.
Much of a range.
Range.
It sounds like I pulled this one because it sounds like Jiminy Glick.
You know, like fucking character.
Much of a range.
And if you're not getting the sense by listening to these clips that we're playing for you play the clip
It says holy shit. You're overthinking it
But even gendering the entire geography because this whole issue of Western
Fetishization when it comes to East Asia is really a story of imperialism And this was something that Patricia Park laid out really well
over in Bitch magazine in an article called The Madam Butterfly
Effect. So this is the premise of the show.
Is this all comes back to this Western imperialism
as to the reason why you and I beat off to Asian
girls on Red Tube. Right? Which I had no idea.
That's amazing to me.
I had no idea that was why.
I didn't realize there was something called Bitch magazine.
They keep quoting the bitch mags.
I have a subscription.
It's amazing.
Does it come out once a month?
Yeah.
Oh, God.
All right, so that's the premise of the show but
uh... i have another clip that i think would make sense to play here it's called
this is why this podcast is terrible even if you buy the premise
a lot of asian women
because of these kinds of u.s. policies were not allowed
to come into the united states as well there were fears that they would bring
over things like std's
so you had these communities of mostly Asian men
that white people similarly were like,
oh, what's going on over there?
That's not right, there are new women,
but at the same time, they judge their women
as being immoral too.
So it was just a mess.
It's totally counter to this whole idea
that the fetishization of that's a word of Asian women.
And then we get to this thing where it's like,
well, you know, in America, they thought they all
on STDs and they were immoral and gross.
So I'm sorry.
Then there probably isn't this perfect story arc
that we were talking about.
You know, they could have gone back
to the invention of the internet.
That probably would have been a better place to start
for this whole, you know, fetishization of Asian women.
I don't think it goes back to Marco Polo.
I think here's my take on it.
Guys like women.
Heterosexual men typically like women.
And I don't think it really makes one hell of a difference if they're Asian or what the
fuck race they are. Guys are going to be into all kinds of different shit
so
To demonize one sect of of man or whatever who who happen to like
Asian women is just seems kind of ridiculous to me, but
Exactly. I mean the thing that they're not understanding is that guys will sleep with
just about anything with a vagina and 99% of Asian women have said vagina, which makes them
quite desirable right there. Except for a few in Thailand. There's a few that don't quite. Thanks, Tyler, out of the equation.
We're close to 100% yes.
So I do have a clip here that's called How This Chick Ended Up
Becoming a Man Hating Feminazi.
And she just goes back really quick
into a brief moment of her growing up in her childhood.
I think this really sums it up.
When I was growing up, my dad was such a huge,
like Broadway and musical fan,
so I'm definitely familiar with South Pacific.
He's a fang!
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm guessing that her dad really paid much attention
to her mom growing up, and that was probably an issue,
and the reason why she's a much of a man manhater today. And oversized clitoris. Yeah. So I just I just
throw this one in real quick because yeah, I love the chemistry between the two
girls. We had a dollar already for the number of times we said a version of fetish in this podcast, we could buy a sandwich.
Oh, perfect.
Yes.
Oh, God.
So I love that.
I actually had the exact same clip and I called it swing and a miss.
I wasn't trying to be faulty by any means.
So they tried to get one joke in there and she couldn't come up with anything.
If we had a dollar, for every time we said,
we could buy a sandwich. That's hilarious.
You told him to say how comedy works.
Yeah, well done.
But the sandwich would have any meat in it because we don't believe in it.
All right, so after all of this information they've brought forth,
and there's a lot of information in here.
I mean, it's wildly inaccurate, but they do talk about opium wars and they talk about early Hollywood and all sorts of things going
on throughout history. I really liked that they wrap it up with a solution. So if you want to play
the clip wrapping up with the solution, please. They're appropriately named. While you might think,
oh, I don't perpetuate these kinds of stereotypes, It, there are more of those microaggressions we could say that we can all probably pay
closer attention to.
And seriously, friends, if you have a single Asian friend that you want to hook up, don't
suggest the guy who exclusively dates Asian girls, you know, like don't, don't try to, don't pull that whole thing.
You are a hero, Kristen.
You saved the day.
Oh, yeah.
She saved it.
I mean, there's this huge problem that's been going on
since Marco Polo times, and she has the solution right there.
Stop hooking your friends out who like Asian people.
I just was so angry. I've listened to friends out who like Asian people. I just was so
angry. I've listened to this podcast for different times now. That's unbelievable.
I can't believe you spent that much time. Well the first two were master
Bayesian sessions, but the second two were yeah. So the second two when I
listened to I just found myself just getting really like angry at the whole kind of concept of it
And it's all joking aside. I was actually getting very angry about the 40 minute mark
Yeah, I stopped it and I was like okay, we're doing this for fun
Countdown I was actually getting angry. Yeah, yeah, there's and it didn't help that I listened to it like I didn't get a lot of sleep
Last night I listened to it this morning in bed like I got a one more time. I got to get this fucking ding drilled into my head and
I'm a fucking crab in the morning, so I had Ned cough here anything yet
And I just was so like ready to just throw the cunt word around like a thousand fucking times for this podcast
But I'm I'm better now.
I'm civilized.
I'm woken up a little bit.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like here's the positives that I take away from this.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
Okay.
We don't really talk about positive.
I'm glad to hear you bring this up.
I can think of a one.
So yeah, go ahead.
There are some positives here.
And it's going to be from a purely geeky technical standpoint.
The podcast is recorded beautifully.
Everything was perfect, the levels were great,
you could hear everything really nice,
they have a good mix with the audio coming in and out,
like the theme song and then they have the end,
they have a little harp fucking sound effect
and then they have like, yeah, yeah, that's it.
Mailbag and stuff.
Yeah. The shit. It's really, really well done. harp fucking sound effect and then they have like yeah yeah mailbag and stuff yeah legit it's
really really well done the two women that is so fucking terrible that's the good production
pisses me off yeah I want it to be just a couple of feminists with no friends in their basement
but no these women are gainfully employed and actually have like journalism back rossi do
this for a career yeah and that's sorry that we're trying to fake positives.
Well, I mean, that's really like the only major
positive that I could take away.
You can tell that they both of them have like a background
or they went to school, let's say.
I'm assuming I'd never do any research on these girls.
I can tell that they both have access to Wikipedia.
That's what I could tell.
That was my big thing. Here, you know, I just dropped them microaggression and I called them girls. I'm tell that they both have access to Wikipedia. That's what I could know. That was my big day. Here, you know, I just I just dropped them microaggression. I
called them girls. I'm sorry. They're women. So I. That's Carl at Yahoo.com. Carl. Yeah. So
yeah. Um, yeah. So I just I thought from that point point of it like I admired it like the first time I listen to this really like well put together and
You know they have a clear like
Background in doing it however they have that annoying and flexion thing
That they must teach you and fucking broadcasting 101 in college
or journal whatever a fuck
class it is where you have to talk like this and deliver everything like it's
with it's everything is all over the place. And I just it's just a kind of
sending country dialect. Whenever they're making a point that's so obvious to
them. And the listener is just an idiot, that's when they have to start talking like this, to drive over the point that
a dog, guys, this is how it's-
Even gendering the entire-
Like that?
Exactly.
I just had one other point that I wanted to make because there's no making these women
happy.
I don't have a clip, but they
talked a lot about Madame Butterfly and Miss Saigon. Oh, yeah. And their complaint about these
stories is that the Asian women, the Asian lead characters in these stories are hot and desirable.
Now, how the fuck should they have been portrayed? I'm a little confused here.
And what that's great about this,
they're talking about these stories,
and there's a couple other ones that they bring up,
and they're like, yeah, they're all of the same thing
where the female lead is Asian, and she's hot,
and the guy loves her.
It's like, that's also true of every other story
I've ever heard of in my life.
How about the millions of stories where
there's a white woman who's hot and desirable?
Is that for the next podcast, maybe? I don't know, but yeah, I don't understand what the alternative is. What is it they were hoping would happen?
In these like, it's funny because if the white guy was like, oh gross, you're Asian. There would be a huge fucking problem.
Right. It's like, oh, you're hot. You're Asian. That's a fucking problem. Oh, shit.
I can't even wrap my mind around what the right answer is here.
Yeah, and you get the sense when you listen to this that they just want Asians and Asians to be with each other.
And, you know, I mean, it's like, you know, the only conclusion that works like just stick with your race. That's what I did.
Everyone else should too, because this is getting out of control.
I see what more like I with an Asian. I'm just going to have a little loser.
They're making ping-pong jokes. It's crazy. Yeah, it's I
Just was so frustrated. I guess listening to this too, and you know, and actually being like a
You know a guy who genuinely thinks that Asian women are pretty attractive
You know, it's it's it's it's rough to hear this and then be like wow, you know, it's like you're automatically a creep.
Like that's already in the lexicon.
Now that's just the way it is.
There's my $10 word.
We both from experience have enjoyed the Asian females.
And it doesn't stop me from enjoying other females as well.
Even those awful Jewish ones who won't suck your penis.
But I give a lot of chance, you know?
I just, it doesn't really add up to me.
And I find it really, you know, as a person,
as a guy who already has enough trouble
fucking trying to meet women.
It's like, now I have to battle a creep factor
because I happen to like,
and that's not that I'm only, I would only ever chase an Asian girl. I mean, I, I, they
are slower. So you might want it. Well, no one's slower than me. So they can outrun me.
But yeah, I just, I don't know, I just feel like it's really, it comes across racist and the wrong,
like I don't think they intended it
to come across that way in this podcast, but.
Don't feel bad, because these women sensibilities
are nowhere near, reflected in the real world.
In fact, there's nothing that I choose to watch or listen to
that wouldn't leave these women cold up
in the fetal position.
They are offended by everything.
Yeah.
If they saw your Google history, I'm pretty sure they would commit suicide.
So don't feel bad. These women are terrible.
So yeah, this was just a futile effort at a podcast.
I don't like putting down.
Well, that too, but I mean, no, it's just that the, you know, I listened to it four fucking
times and I'm like, and then, and then one of the episodes I had, it just went into
the next whatever was on their feet next.
Oh, no.
And it was called the nipple slip or something like that.
So it was all about tits, which I didn't listen to that whole thing and I guess I probably should because no, I don't think you should
So I just want to wrap it up with with this final thought like who is this podcast for Kevin you listen to the whole thing four times
I listen to it begrudgingly once
Who is the target audience for this podcast?
It's it's women that
have no idea what to think and need guidance from other women.
No, no, that'd be the worst audience for this because if they actually listen to these two cons and agreed with them, they'd be steering them in the exact wrong direction.
I have an idea of who I think the target audience is.
Okay. Any chick whose man left them for an Asian girl and wants to blame it on something other than
their awful personality can now say, oh, it's because of the opium wars. Of course. Yes.
It's because of Madame Butterfly. It wasn't me. I don't need to improve myself. It was because of this and oversized
Clitoris. Yeah, that was the
Main reason. All right, so
Just wrapping up stuff mom never told you will never listen to another episode of that ever again
Because my eardrums were writing out suicide notes. I just don't want to have to go through that
But next week we will be reviewing another podcast and the year drums were writing out suicide notes. I just don't want to have to go through that.
But next week, we will be reviewing another podcast.
And next week are going to be listening to
Ross 4th Hour with Kevin Scampoli.
And we're going to be listening to an episode
from February 8th, 2016.
This podcast is meant to be listened to
right after the end of WWE's Raw. and it's a great recap of the show and an inside look at all things professional wrestling.
Let's start this off with my favorite caller because we're going to talk to Brian and he's going to have to tell me a little bit about raw because I spent more time on where's my refund than watching raw
than on my actual raw stream. So Brian, how was raw tonight?
It was all right. I'm getting back from sobbing like a small child. Jesus, I didn't expect that
speech to be so good. So that's going to be a fun one. That's going to be next week on who are these podcasts. Kevin great talking to you.
