Kat and Nat argue societal chaos stems from abortion-rights protests targeting nuns and children, Calvin Klein’s trans-man pregnancy ad, and climate activists like Bill Gates and Leonardo DiCaprio pushing population control while dismissing marriage’s benefits. They contrast the Boston Tea Party’s constructive defiance with modern "thuggery," warn against progressive policies like student loan forgiveness, and urge Christians to prioritize eternal hope over fleeting earthly struggles—while calling for conservatives to resist harmful trends. The episode ties these issues to broader cultural decay, framing resistance as essential. [Automatically generated summary]
Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for all you culturally and politically misunderstood ladies and gents.
We're your hosts.
I'm Kat.
And I'm Nat.
And today we want to talk about the fact that the world is burning, not in the way the climate alarmists think it is, but given men can now allegedly be pregnant and the left seems to have thrown civility out the window, we think it's safe to say that the world's in utter chaos.
Nice.
But before we get into our first topic, we're going to start things off with our patented culture shock moment of the week.
Take it away, Kat.
So, it was actually last week, but we, Nat and I, went to the March for Life in Toronto where a pro-life march was taking place.
I think it's a little obvious from the name.
There was also a counter-protest there, which were pro-abortion, pro-baby murder, pro- also pro-Indigenous women.
Yeah, they were talking about socialism, Indigenous women.
Defunding the police.
Defunding the police.
They were screaming, defund the police at the police.
They were screaming F you at any pro-life protester that walked anywhere near them.
There were nuns on the pro-life side.
There were children.
They didn't care.
No, it's crazy how much of a stark contrast there was between the two sides on this debate.
And I would argue that the pro-life people have more to lose because they are in, they're swimming upstream.
Yeah, they are.
And they believe that they're witnessing the murder of children, which I would agree with, but that's the opinion of pro-life people.
But so to them, they actually have so much on the line.
Yes.
Actual, valuable human life, where the pro-choice side really only has convenience.
Yeah.
Like they didn't really, like, we asked a couple of them some questions.
Many of them wouldn't really talk to us because I guess.
Because Nat's so ugly.
Yeah.
And I guess Rebel News is right wing.
Yeah, we're so right.
Maybe we're just right.
Yeah.
Okay.
But the people that we talked to didn't really have fruitful things to say.
Some of them were a little creepy, actually.
And one girl, when I asked her when life begins, like, does it begin at conception?
She literally said no.
And I was like, then these people clearly just don't actually know what they believe.
I think is ultimately.
I think those people don't understand that like the cells in your skin are alive.
So like the argument of like life doesn't begin at conception is just kind of stupid because it's like, of course it does.
The sperm is alive.
The ovary is alive.
Like the cells that are created when they are, when the sperm enters the ovary, yeah, it's all alive.
So like that's stupid.
Like it was kind of almost a trek question because it's like the.
She was so young though.
Like she was probably in high school.
A lot of them were.
They were wearing high school uniforms.
It's scary how young they were though.
That really freaked me out.
And it's like these people obviously aren't looking into this.
They don't understand.
And I think it's scary that adults in their life and educators in their life are taking advantage of their vulnerability.
And they just want to be liked and they don't want to swim upstream.
It's hard being a teenager.
I just, I don't know.
It made me sad more than anything.
Yeah.
Yeah, but they ain't helping their cause.
No.
Like they're not making a great case from the pro-choice side.
They were highly aggressive and disturbing.
Yeah.
And I think if you were just an objective observer who was like, I don't know how to feel on this topic and you looked at both sides, you would be like, yoikes.
Anti-Woman Arguments?00:10:51
Yeah.
Because even just before we get into the show even, like when they began marching, the nuns, the cute little nuns, were praying as they were marching.
And then when they were passing the police officers, they were like, thank you for your service, not just today, but always.
Yeah.
And then, you know.
And the police had to make sure that the pro-choice counter-protesters left first for their march so that they didn't, like, word for word, the police said, so they don't know where you guys, as in the pro-life people, are going.
As in, they were going to harass.
Because they're unhinged.
Yeah, they're unhinged.
Yeah.
Anyway, you should catch our full report at RebelNews.com coming out today.
So yesterday.
So it'll be yesterday for you.
Yeah, check it out.
It was shocking.
It was shocking.
But you know what else is really shocking?
Men can get pregnant, apparently.
Oh, wow.
This is great.
It's really nice.
So, you know, I don't know if some of you guys know, but Calvin Klein recently did a Mother's Day ad.
They wrote this magnificent article, I wonder.
Oh, my goodness.
I think it was me.
Oh, MG.
Oh, Irma Gersh.
Yeah, so pregnant trans man stars and Calvin Klein Mother's Day ad.
Just look at that body.
Oh, my gosh.
See, okay.
So, okay.
First of all, it looks like just people online are like, it looks just like a dad bod.
It's just like a classic dad bod.
Second of all, why are you wearing a flower crown?
Yeah.
You're a man.
Yeah.
Like, you're supposed, you're, you, I don't understand.
You're like, I'm a man.
I am a man.
I want to live as a man.
You have to identify me as a man, and I'm offended, and it's illegal if you don't identify me as a man.
But then also, I'm going to have a bipolar and I'm going to wear a flower crown and do maternity photo shoot.
Like, what?
No, exactly, though.
How can you identify as a male when you're knowingly doing one of the only things that females can do apart from men?
I think it's just really anti-woman for this person to deem themselves as a man when their body is literally showing us otherwise.
Like, it's just so not feminist to me.
It's not at all uplifting or empowering for women.
And I just, I don't get why Calvin Klein is pandering to nobody.
Like, it's like the 1% of people are transitioning.
That's 1%.
Like, and 1% of people even give a crap about translation are transgendered according to the recent Canadian census.
So I know that this is probably American, but of those 1%, not 100% of that 1% are on board with this.
We know people like Blair White and there's other trans activists who are like, not on board with this kind of stuff.
So to think that it's like less than 1% of people are like, that's right.
That represents me.
I feel represented by that.
It's just.
And on Mother's Day, when that's a this person identifies as a male.
So why can't we let mothers have Mother's Day?
I don't know.
I just, it just kind of further proves that the world's on freaking fire.
The world's on fire.
It is the theme of the show.
Yeah, it really is.
Because like the fact that culture thinks this is somehow stunning and brave and also sexy.
Like, how is this sexy?
Like, I'm used to it.
Wearing a diaper.
Like, the Kardashians.
Male diaper underwear.
That's what I mean.
Like, it's so not beautiful.
Flower crown.
Like, I'm used to seeing like the Kardashians in their undies and like Justin Bieber.
Like that, you know, what the world kind of deems more conventionally attractive, but like this is supposed to sell me underwear?
Nah.
No, I have a bunch of Calvin Klein underwear and I'm not going to throw them out.
Neither.
Because, you know, they're a spreading girl.
Yeah.
But I'm not going to be buying any more.
No.
So stupid.
Me either.
And I think a lot of people are on the same page as us.
Yeah, it's great.
Yeah.
So boycott Calvin Klein.
Yay.
Yay.
But it's not just trans men that.
So when people say women can have baby, sorry, when people say men can have babies, usually it's like, oh, like if you told that to my dad, he'd be like, what are you talking about?
What they mean is trans men.
So a naturally born biological female transitions to a man and then can still have her sex organs and can still get pregnant either by IVF or naturally.
You can have your issues with that.
However, I understand the mechanics of it.
But the next article that we're looking at is actually trans women.
So naturally born biological males are now possibly going to be able to carry children through womb transplants.
Yes, that doesn't sound at all female.
Felt by women.
Yeah, I mean, what a way to render us completely obvious.
It's been nice being here.
Yeah, thanks for having us, Earth.
It's been peachy.
So Dr. Narendra Kaushik is a new Delhi surgeon.
And basically, he claims that this is the future and hopes that the surgery will allow trans women to carry children.
And apparently, this has only been done once before.
And surprise, surprise, it didn't work out.
Yeah, didn't they die?
The person died.
Of course, this was in the 1930s.
So obviously medicine has changed since then.
But even so, let's not even talk about the fact that this whole procedure is very expensive and risky.
What about the implications this might have on the child?
Like, how do we, we don't know.
Like, why are children always unconsenting subjects to weird social experiments?
It's the same with this pregnant man.
Like, they're taking hormones.
You mentioned this earlier.
Like, how do we don't know how that implicates a child's future?
I mean, my understanding was once you take hormones to change your sex, that a lot of the time you become sterile.
Right.
So I think, I don't know about the Calvin Klein model.
Model.
They might have frozen, like, he might have frozen his eggs when he was a woman.
Maybe that's possible.
And then have it, like, fertilized later and put in the stomach.
Right.
So it's a confusing little mishmash there.
It's a lot.
This is, yeah, the, like, you, great point.
Like, what are the implications for the kid?
The last woman who had a womb transplant died.
And yes, that was in the 1930s, but they haven't done it since.
Yeah.
a reason and it's almost a hundred years ago.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
And so there's a lot to go through here, but one of the things that is mentioned is that where did I write that down?
Oh, yeah.
So experts recommend the uterus be removed after the person gives birth to one or two children for safety reasons.
So it's like, it's not supposed to be there.
It's not supposed to be there.
And what is it going to be like for that little baby growing inside that womb that's not supposed to be there?
And they have to go on immune system suppressants while they're getting after the transplant because a lot of people who have like organ transplants, their body rejects the organ because it's not part of their body knows it's like a foreign object.
It's the same with surrogacy.
Surrogacy, when someone is a surrogate and you put another, you know, I guess baby, fertilized egg and whatever in there, the body tries to reject it.
So what's going to happen when you have a used uterus inside of you?
Like, who knows?
Yeah.
Who knows?
And like, what I don't get is like, if it's, you're spending all this money for this temporary thing, why can't you just adopt?
Like, why not just adopt?
It's super insulting to women who can't have babies themselves because it's like, and one of the things here, it says every transgender woman wants to be as female as possible.
That includes being a mother.
This doctor is quoted as saying.
So sorry, first of all, not every woman can have babies and not every woman wants to have babies.
So it's just like when we see like that transgender TikToker Dylan dressing up like a little girl.
It's like you don't, being a woman isn't a costume that you can put on, in the famous words of Matt Walsh.
And you can't just be like, oh, I'm a woman, so it's my right to have a child.
No, it's a privilege.
And not every woman, not every natural born woman has that privilege.
Yeah, and that doesn't make them any less of a woman.
No, absolutely not.
And so you can change your gender.
I will respect you.
I will call you she.
Go about your day, wear dresses, do whatever you want.
But like, it's not your right to just have a baby in a womb and give birth like a woman would.
Yeah, and the Daily Mail said that womb transplants cost around 50,000 pounds.
And then you have to do IVF on top of that, which is upwards of 5,000 pounds, which most, in most cases, it's a lot more expensive for people.
Like, that's not like a little bit of money.
Like, yeah, and I mean, who's to s like, you can argue, like, if someone has the money and that's how they want to spend it, fine.
It's just, like, the sociological implications and the moral implications of this, the ethics of it are, are astounding and complex and nuanced.
And we're just like, eh, it's cute.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
I just think it's weird to risk your life potentially too for something so absurd and temporary.
Like, some of the major complications that have been suffered are like organ rejection, urinary tract infections, blood clots, and like internal bruising and like similar sorts of transplant situations.
So it's like, I don't know, like, is it worth it?
Is it worth the risk?
Like, just to be.
Especially when you can still be a parent.
That's the thing.
Like, there are so many options for people.
And I just, I don't know.
I mostly just care about the child in this scenario.
Like, I just, I don't know how that's going to affect them.
And no one seems to care.
They're just like, let's just experiment on all these kids and like whatever.
Well, that's the same argument with the Roe v. Wade stuff.
It's like, it's all about the woman.
It's all about the person and their convenience and their lifestyle.
The adults.
And remember last week we talked about the number one reason why people have abortions is because the baby won't fit into their life.
Not even they can't afford it.
That was number two.
But number one was astounding.
It was like 78% say the baby won't fit into my lifestyle.
It's convenience.
So it's all about your convenience and how you feel and that's and to hell with the kid.
Yeah.
I just think it's incredibly selfish.
It's incredibly selfish.
And I, I don't know, I just don't get why, like, why are doctors taking it upon themselves to play God in these situations?
Like, I just, I don't know.
I find that, I find it perplexing.
And again, the world is just on fire.
Yeah.
The world is on fire.
It feels like the end of times.
It really does.
I'm just like, what?
Like, men can carry babies, abort your baby because you just don't feel like it, even after it's been born, arguably.
Like, and now let's just put uteruses.
The one beautiful privilege that women do have, most women do have, is to be able to give birth and you're just going to take that away from us too?
Like, goodness gracious Lord, take me now.
So what's going to happen to women?
Are we going to, so you know, in the Matrix, it's men and women who are kind of just like the organs of the machine world.
Right.
But is this, is the future going to be just women?
Because they need to harvest our wombs?
Yeah, like, that's a good point.
Like, is that what?
Until they have synthetic wombs, which is also a thing.
So, like, men can take another man, they can cut out a real woman's womb, and a man can take that and implant it into another man.
Like, what is the need for women at all?
There is no need for us.
And we're going to become second-class citizens like we were in the past.
And this is feminism?
Well, and here's the thing, though.
I know men are going to comment on this and they're going to be like, oh, women, you did it to yourself.
Bill Gates' Population Claim00:05:14
But I don't think so.
I think this is both of us because I think men should do more to protect women.
Even though I think, yes, the feminist movement has gone too far.
But at the time, like, yeah, women should have been able to vote.
Like, you know, those kinds of things are not, like, of course, there's a slippery slope with freaking everything for some reason.
And it always just swings way too far one way.
But, like, it's your job as men to protect us too.
And I think this is where this is a great opportunity for men to do that.
And it's a great opportunity for conservatives to conserve.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
I don't know.
And I wish it wasn't a conservative, liberal, left-right issue.
I wish it was just like moral.
Yeah.
Ethics.
Yeah.
Those are nice.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It is, it is really messed up.
And I guess there are a few other things that are messed up.
Should we move on to a little fun climate hysteria?
Hysteria.
So, well, this is not fun, actually.
It's not fun.
It's less than fun.
It's a little less, a lot less than fun.
So this man is so anxious about the climate, he wants medically assisted suicide.
Howard Breen's anxiety about the planet is so bad that he's asked Canada to let him die.
Will he be accepted into the program?
Okay.
Yeah, so this is super sad.
It's so weird because he is so stressed about the climate and the end of the world as he sees it, which I'm like, I see the end of the world too, but for different reasons.
Biblical.
Yeah.
Amen.
But he thinks that just not being a part of it is better than him actually being an advocate for the climate, where he could actually do things and he could change people's minds and he could make good points.
But, you know, it turns out he's part of Extinction Rebellion.
So making valid arguments is not part of his repertoire.
No, it's so true.
So I guess he's been clinically diagnosed with eco-anxiety and biosphere-related depression, which, by the way, is not recognized as a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association.
So it's fake.
It's not a real thing.
Like, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry laughing, but it sounds like a sketch, like a comedy sketch, like biosphere-related sketch.
Yeah, like literally biosphere-related depression.
I wish we had come up with that.
Yeah, that's hilarious.
And I'm not trying to laugh at this man because he's obviously suffering, suffering out.
But okay, it sounds like a joke, though.
But I think also these people who latch on to these crazy narratives, like these extreme narratives, like they obviously aren't doing their research.
Because I believe we're called to steward the earth, you know, as Christians and stuff, and as just as normal human beings, in fact, we should take care and preserve things.
But apparently, according to the Wall Street Journal, we're actually safer from climate disasters than ever before.
And this was just an easy, quick, like Google away.
So there's a, you guys should go read the article by the Wall Street Journal.
But basically, they said a century ago, almost half a million people died on average each year from storms, floods, wildfires, and extreme temperatures.
And over the next 10 decades, global annual deaths from these causes declined 96%.
Like, that's crazy.
96%.
96%.
And basically, the reason they think, like, the climate activists always latch onto this narrative, oh, like, there's so many more natural disasters.
It's just because we're recording them better.
We just have more, we have more capacity to be able to properly record when these instances occur.
So it's totally been like inflated and politicized, unfortunately.
Well, that's good to know.
I feel better.
It is good to know, but it's like this person literally believes that the earth is like going to implode on itself, and that's just a lie.
And it's like, why is the government doing this to these people?
Well, I know, I was thinking about this on my way in.
Whenever the mainstream, and by mainstream, I mean like collective large, like both mainstream media and just the zeitgeist sort of commentary is all hysterical in terms of COVID and whatnot and climate.
Whenever everyone's saying the same thing and they're yelling at you, you have to question that because it's like, okay, are they saying this?
Like, is someone like Bill Gates and other climate activists, are they saying this because they're genuinely concerned with preserving human life?
Probably not because Bill Gate is on record as saying how we need to reduce the population of humanity.
So is it that they literally care so much about humanity that they want to preserve the lives of everybody?
Or hear me out.
Is it about money?
Is it about money?
Like it always is.
Buy electric cars, get rid of your Saturn that you've had for 20 years or what maybe not 20.
But get rid of your beater car that you drive to work every day and you can afford and you have to buy a Tesla or some expensive electric car that, you know, tinfoil hat, the government can like turn off if you're a problem.
Right.
That's a great point.
And meanwhile, they're flying private.
They're not eating bugs.
When's the last time I was on the jet?
For many years.
Mostly because, you know.
Yeah.
But like, it's just, it's so funny how we're all told the same stuff from the same people.
And whenever you're told the same thing in a hysterical manner, you need to question it.
Yeah.
Just a little bit.
A little bit.
Just to question it a little bit.
Yeah.
And I'd rather think that I'm not, like, the planet is going to be habitable in 30 years than not.
Questioning The Agenda00:12:23
And I recycle and I don't do a lot of work and I don't need to.
Like, I'm an environmentalist for all, in all sakes, really.
No, I agree.
We need to steward the earth.
We shouldn't be.
We talk about this.
Sorry.
No, go.
But we talk about using like less plastic.
Yeah, exactly.
Cardboard instead of plastic in our foods and with beauty products.
And I have like reuse, like, not reusable, but like I use like silk floss and it comes in a wood thing instead of plastic.
We try to reduce our footprint as much as we can because it's just better not to have giant landfills and garbage.
Nobody likes garbage.
I mean, honestly.
And I like the planet.
I want to use it.
It's so cute.
It's so cute.
And God made it.
So we should respect that.
We should respect it.
I also just think we should touch on the fact that this person who wants this assisted suicide is a father and a husband.
So he's willing to literally abandon his family.
Yeah.
And did you see the part where they said he also has the support of his general practitioner, which isn't his wife, his two daughters, and his son.
So they don't care if he kills himself.
Yeah.
I'm like, do they hate him?
I know.
I just.
Do they have an amazing insurance policy on his life or something?
Oh my gosh.
It's so dark.
Can you imagine your dad is like, I want to kill myself and I want because I'm scared of the climate disaster.
And you're like, go get him, dad.
I love that for you.
Yeah, so I guess he's applying for Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying program and it allows people to take their own lives.
He's been rejected before.
Yeah, he's been rejected before.
Oh my God.
And it's like, well, if you've been rejected before, I don't see how you can get.
Is everything so much worse?
Is it so much worse now?
Oh my God.
Yeah, I guess so.
I just think though, like as a man and a father and a husband, like you are everything wrong with society.
Like you're just putting yourself and your own emotions first.
And to your point earlier, if you were really this passionate about the climate, you would fight till the death to defend what you believe in.
That's what men do.
You would be an example to your family and your community.
And what you're saying to your family is, well, things aren't going my way and I'm terrified.
So I'm going to kill myself.
Yeah.
That's terrifying.
It's so weak and it's everything that's wrong with society.
And I just feel like if you had like God or something, you wouldn't feel like this.
Yeah.
I would suggest church.
Yeah.
Like if you're if you're rooting your whole identity in the climate, which doesn't give a crap about you, by the way, it doesn't care.
Like you're, you're wasting your life.
It's so sad.
And you're just, you're never going to be fulfilled, man.
Like, and you killing yourself through medical assistance is just not the answer.
I don't want you to do this.
And like, you know, again, I'm not trying to make fun of it, but like, don't you think that in the process of him killing himself through a medical procedure, there'd be like more plastic and tubes and energy and the time of the doctor who could be using that for actual people who are actually like terminally ill.
Yeah, and but what I also want to know is like, why is this allowed in our society where people can just apply for this and it's like, yeah, you're good to go.
You passed this test.
Well, like, again, he's been rejected.
Yeah.
Thank God.
For people who are actually like literally terminally ill.
And I don't even think that mental illness, I think it's, I think it was like people who are suffering irrevocably?
Irrevocably.
Irrevocably.
The only reason I know how to say that word is from because of Twilight.
Okay, perfect.
Bella says irrevocably in love with that word.
Irrecloblably.
Yes, exactly.
But like, you know, but Kate, he has this quote where he's like, I'm not afraid of death.
I'm afraid of what could happen if we don't act on climate change.
Well, that would be death.
If climate change is real, it's a real threat.
You die anyway.
So like, let the climate wipe down.
Don't you want to see what happens?
Yeah.
It's like he doesn't want to know the truth.
Like, maybe you're just going to die in your sleep an old happy man and the climate won't be a disaster.
And would that be bad?
Would he be like, well, it was wrong.
Yeah.
How embarrassing for me.
Like, just be wrong.
Be wrong there.
Being in there for your family and for your community and for your environment.
Yeah.
And I kind of want to know, like, why it was Vice that wrote this.
Like, why are they publishing this?
I know, it's so dark.
Like, it's really dark.
And it's like, are you glorifying this?
They weren't really one way or the other.
Like, I get they were just telling this person's story, but it's like, should we be?
I don't know.
We are.
Yeah, but we're criticizing it at least because we don't want this guy to do this.
Like, I don't want you to die, man.
No.
I hope you choose life.
Yeah, choose life.
Your mom chose life when she had you.
So she doesn't want to be so bad.
Well, it reminds me of those TikToks that I sent you last week of those women who were like, I had an abortion last year because they were like, the planet is not going to be inhabitable in 30 years.
So why would I have a child?
And it's like, that's messed up.
You don't know that's 30 years?
That's nothing.
Yeah.
Like, you really think that, like, maybe my face will be red if it's not.
Like, I at least want to be around to see it.
And I hate this, this mentality of like, why would I want to bring a child into the world?
It's so messed up.
The world has been messed up since the dawn of time.
Literally, since Eve ate the apple.
Yeah.
So like your parents brought you into the world and you're glad that they did, right?
Yeah, that's the thing.
Like all these people have a mom who chose life.
I don't get that.
It's like, why can't you just think about, sit and think about that for a minute?
Just sit on that.
Like you are on this earth and you're fighting for whatever you believe in.
Like let your own child have that chance to become whoever the blue-haired weirdo.
Yeah.
And we'll accept them in society.
And, you know, maybe by then, science and technology will get to a place where your child can be a part of fixing these problems that you foresee.
And that's how I feel too.
It's like, do I think the world is burning?
Yeah, proverbially, yes.
But I still want to have a child so that they can be a part of the solution and see the good in people and bring out good in others.
Like, no, that's so true.
And to your point, there is just this very strange agenda to encourage our generation specifically not to have children.
And I definitely, it's population control.
Put it on my tinfoil hat.
Yeah, I think there's a really weird, because think about it.
Like, okay, trans kids, let's just sterilize kids.
Women don't need to have kids anymore because men can do that.
The economy, all these things, climate change, like these are all these reasons that they give us for not wanting to stay inside.
Like social distancing, that was a big one where it's like, okay, you literally want people to become manic, crazy, depressed people.
Yeah.
Like, it's crazy.
Like, the government is just doing, there's something at play here for us to stop reproducing, and that's why we have to.
Grab someone right now.
Grab them.
Just kidding.
With your partner.
Waying.
Your consenting partner.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And maybe this is a good segue into like this Eevee article.
Do you want to take it away?
Yeah.
So this article is called, We Need to Stop Telling Men the Lie That Marriage Ruins Their Life.
This was, I didn't even write any notes because I was like, yep.
My notes is literally like, yep, yep, yep.
Yeah.
It opens on an anecdote from the author about when she was in university and men, she noticed men would be like at last call at the bar kind of like panic for someone to take home that night.
And she thought, okay, well, that's fine, but they'll grow out of it when we're in our 30s.
And she's like, nope.
30s, 40s, this is how men are acting still.
And it's because they have this idea in their head that when you're in a marriage, that you have no sex, you have no social life, you have no fun.
And it's just like, look at happy married people.
Is that, is that what you see?
Yeah, and apparently, according to this article, married men make more money than their single counterparts, have better sex and live longer.
So jokes on all you 40-year-old single men.
Like, sorry, Leonardo.
You can't have really great sex with someone you just met.
It's literally impossible.
It's just you don't have the mechanics down.
You don't have the.
You don't know each other.
You don't know each other and you don't want to look into each other's eyes and you don't say, I love you.
You're probably wasted anyway.
Yeah, you're probably enamored and it's just it's awful.
Yeah, it is.
Like, like sex is such an intimate thing, and intimacy comes with knowing who that person is and wanting to like please them.
Because I find in our hookup culture, it's all about how do I feel?
What can I get out of this transaction?
And that's really not actually fun for anyone at the end of the day.
Just grinding on a stranger.
Is that fun for you?
And then feeling gross about it the next day.
We've talked about this before where we're like, I've known girls in my life who are like, oh, I don't care.
Like, I like to have sex and yada yada.
But literally, every time they're like, he didn't call.
Yeah.
But you do care.
Of course.
Yeah, of course they didn't call.
And because it was probably horrible for both of you.
And of course you care.
Why would you pretend you don't care?
It's crazy to think that you don't care.
No, there's something in your brain as a woman, especially that just you're like automatic, you're connected to that person for life.
And men too.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, and I think it just obviously makes sense that men who are married are more successful and more stable because they have that foundation where it's like, okay, I have some purpose now.
I have to provide for my family.
I have to be a good husband, be a good dad.
Like, I have, you know, I have a goal.
I have a goal.
And I mean, to contrast the other guy who's thinking about suicide over the climate, it's like, man, you really drop the ball on what your purpose is as a husband and a father.
And Jordan Peterson talks about how people pursue happiness as their goal.
Right.
Really, this pursuit of happiness never really leads to long-term happiness because it's always about your instantaneous, expedited happiness and pleasure and temporary.
But if you have a long-term goal for meaning and value, you're going to end up happier overall long-term.
Well, it's like we talk about this often, but like contentment leads to joy, like just being content, you know?
And I think that that's something that's severely lacking in our society because as you said, like we just want more, And it's always fleeting.
And it's kind of like, you know, when you get older, like when you're a kid, receiving presents is awesome and it's amazing.
But when you get older, I think everyone would agree.
It's so much better to give someone a present and watch their face glow when you know that they like it rather than receive something.
Yeah.
Wouldn't you rather just buy yourself what you want?
Yeah, I like, I prefer to buy myself exactly.
I love the presents I give myself.
Me too.
I have the best self-same.
But like, so it's exactly, that's just a tiny micro example of the larger issue, which is like, it's so much better to serve others and to please others.
And that's where Christianity comes in because when you're a good Christian, you're serving God.
Yeah.
But in serving God, really, you're serving everyone around you.
You're being a good person.
You're putting your happiness, your expedited happiness last, but you end up feeling amazing.
And that's the beauty of it.
And that's kind of what people don't understand, I think.
Yeah.
And do you think that part of this whole like goal for like to encourage men to remain single for life basically is part of this agenda to like denuclearize the family.
And like we're not talking about population control.
Yeah.
Yes.
I totally agree.
It's like you don't want a happy family.
You don't want to be woken up by giggles.
You don't want good toddler.
Yeah.
You don't want good sex with someone you love and you don't want to be woken up by toddlers jumping on you and laughing and giggling and like seeing your child walk for the first time.
And you want a yacht.
Yeah, you definitely want to live in a cube and eat seaweed chunks and you're going to be very happy.
But it's like, even look at like Leonardo DiCaprio, for example.
He has this, he's wealthy.
He's, I guess, maybe he has, he's had like a million girlfriends or whatever.
He has never settled down.
It's like, okay, he has all the money in the world, but he doesn't look or seem happy today.
No, and he's also one of those crazy climate people.
Yeah.
So it's like he's constantly chasing.
He's a hypocrite.
Yeah.
Well, he's a climate hypocrite.
Yeah.
Episode one.
Hello.
Yeah.
Huller.
But he's constantly chasing some meaning in his life because he doesn't have any.
Yeah.
To me, anyways.
So it's like we should look to these people who are telling us to live a certain way.
It's like, are they happy?
Like we should just like, are they happy?
I don't think so.
I think, you know, like, I don't think money can buy you happiness.
It helps.
It reminds me of like half of the blitzes that we're doing are literally like another Kardashian has anxiety.
Meanwhile, they're like, buy this product that I just invented.
It'll bring you so much joy.
Like me.
And then they're like, ooh, my anxiety.
It's like, why are you, why are you so miserable, you crazy rich girls?
It's true.
And it's like, we shouldn't, like, these people are not the example.
Like, we should not follow their lead, y'all.
Follow our lead.
Follow specifically only our lead.
And us, follow us on Instagram.
Yeah, they're right.
And follow us on socials.
That will help us be happy.
Life's Transactional Cost00:07:07
Just kidding.
Temporary satisfaction.
Yeah.
Anyway, so the world is burning.
Men, get married, okay?
Just, it's time for you to get married.
Get married.
Just do it.
Just do it.
You know?
Just grab someone.
Just you're marrying me.
And marry them, okay?
Yeah.
It worked for us.
Yes.
In another effort to burn down society, there's a, and it's not a new, we were talking about this before we came on.
It's not a new concept, but economic disobedience is a new, well, again, not new, but it's up and coming.
It's in vogue and it's trendy.
It's so cute right now.
It's super hot and cute right now to not pay your rent.
Apparently.
And my first thought on this is just why is a magazine for teens, because obviously this is teen folk, encouraging them to break the law.
They don't even have rent.
It's teen vocab.
That's what I'm wondering.
Who are adults other than us for research?
Do actual adults read this and enjoy this?
It's so weird.
It's like being an adult who likes Disney too much to me.
It's like, oh, I'm 30, but I love Teen Vogel.
You know, you're like, like butterfly clips, spaghetti straps.
Like, that's my whole, I'm obsessed.
It's like, no.
It's time for you to grow up.
Yeah.
So in reading this article, it kind of sent me down a rabbit hole of like a million other articles.
And I ended up reading about the Boston Tea Party.
It happens.
And I was on Mises, which is, I've mentioned before, like an economics online kind of blog article thing.
It's interesting because economic disobedience has actually had a large impact on the history of America.
So when I mentioned the Boston Tea Party, because at first when I was reading this, I was like, oh, these dirty hippies, like they just don't want to pay their rent.
But it's like, which is partially it.
It is partially that.
And they're not the Boston Tea Party.
But, you know, the fact that these Americans were so upset with the changing laws of British tea and the East Indian Trading Company.
And so they were so upset that they decided to throw hundreds of bags of tea in the Boston harbor, which led to the American Revolution, which I would argue is a wonderful thing that happened to America.
I wish we could do it in Canada 1776.
So on one hand, it's like, you can't just, like, you can't just not pay your rent because you don't want to because life is really expensive.
And heck, we know what that's like.
We've both worked dirty jobs.
I've cleaned up poop at Starbucks.
I've done all the jobs and I still don't really have enough money to live in a place that I would like to live in.
It's tough out there.
It is.
And what's interesting is all these people who are screaming about the cost of living, for example, are still voting Democrat or liberal or NDP.
It's like they're part of the problem.
Like, you know what I mean?
And also, like, you don't have to live in San Francisco.
Like, you don't have to live in a lot of people.
A lot of these expenses.
And like, New York City is the place that they talk about.
And it's like, that's one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.
Like, you're choosing to live there.
Yeah.
So you got to make it work.
Like, when I, like you said, you were cleaning up crap.
When I moved here, I worked four jobs and I lived in like a roach-infested apartment because I just wanted to be here so bad.
And I worked my ass off, you know?
And now look at us.
Look at us.
We're so misunderstood.
But, you know, like work, the hard work pays off.
And hard work pays off.
And at the same time, two things can be true at the same time.
Yeah.
You know, the housing crisis is a real thing.
Like, the price of a one bedroom in a p apartment in Toronto right now is like $1,800 or more, $1,900.
That's a lot.
It's obscene.
Yeah, it's a lot.
It's obscene.
And that is way too much.
But at the same time, what are you supposed to do?
So we're going to just pay our rent and struggle and have all the free passes.
And you're going to just not, and that's going to work out somehow for everybody?
I don't see that as the answer.
Well, I just feel like this whole article is just encouraging people not to take responsibility for their own actions.
Because like we just said, you can choose to live in a cheaper city.
And on the topic.
On roommates.
Yeah.
And on the topic of university, like maybe study something that gets you a job after college.
You know?
Yeah.
Like they want to, people are arguing that their student loans should be erased.
Well, what about people who worked really hard to pay off their student loans or didn't go to university at all because they couldn't afford it?
Yeah.
Or, you know, just studied medicine and they're like, this will pay off later.
You know?
Exactly.
I mean, I'm sorry you studied women's studies, brock.
Like, but, you know, like, that's your own choice.
I mean, I studied philosophy.
Oops, I studied theater, but then I dropped out.
So we know the score.
College dropout.
Yeah.
It's just, it is a nuanced issue.
Of course it is.
I feel like these, I feel like the fact that, like you mentioned, Teen Vogue pretty much encouraging young kids who probably live with their parents.
Like go to New York City, make it work, find your dreams.
And if you can't pay your rent, just don't pay it.
Like, remember the musical rent?
Yeah.
That's literally, and that was like based in the 80s, and everyone had AIDS and they were struggling and starving to death.
And they're like, we're not going to pay rent.
It's like, we've tried this.
That's not, at the end of the day, how it's going to end up working out.
No, and there is a social structure that we have to abide by.
Okay.
Like life is so transactional.
You have to do certain things to do, be able to do certain things, you know?
Like, and I just, I think that you just need to take more responsibility for your actions.
And I don't know.
I just, I'm, I'm very creeped out by Teen Vogue.
I just think it's creepy how like this author of this article is probably like 35 years old and they're just like my life sucks so I want teenagers lives to suck too.
And I want I want nobody to have anything because I don't have anything.
Yeah.
Like I'm as it's like Demi Lovato when she's like telling you to do something.
You're like, she's not happy.
I shouldn't be listening to her.
Like life kind of sucks and then you die, but you find you pepper your struggle with moments of beauty and happiness and then you build something meaningful.
It's not supposed to be sexy and fun all the time.
Like you're not going to brunch and living in a gorgeous apartment in New York City.
That's not reality.
It's not reality.
You can achieve those things if you work hard.
Maybe, maybe not.
But you know what?
Like just take it in stride.
And I think just it's sort of like an entitlement that young people have.
Yeah.
And I think like just going back to like the cancellation of student loans specifically, it's like I, as a taxpayer, shouldn't be forced to pay for your decisions.
You know, like that's like, I'm sorry.
You made a decision.
And like the taxpayer will be implicated the most by these sorts of big and you're a taxpayer too.
That's a big thing that they don't understand.
It's like, oh, free, free rent, free education.
Okay, well, your income, which is probably sorry, I'll leave that out.
You're going to be taxed at like 80% of your income to pay for all these free services that you're now enjoying that you're going to be like when you're 30, 40, 50.
Hey, why am I still paying 70% tax on my income?
Oh, because 20-year-olds today want free rent, which I wanted when I was 20, but now I have stuff.
And now I want to conserve it.
Conservative.
Woo-hoo.
Yeah.
Well, and also, too, like, obviously there's a lot of buzz around the great reset right now.
Protests Over Abortion Access00:07:48
Kean and Lewis rebel reporters are launching a docus series, which you all should check out.
But when you give the government an opportunity to pay things off for you, so to speak, that means they own you.
And when they own you, you own nothing.
And I guess you'll be happy.
You know, it's a scary thing.
And obviously, I have a feeling the author of this article doesn't know anything about this, but goodness gracious, y'all, we should be mindful.
If you give the government an inch, they'll take more than a mile.
And they're not going to give, they're not going to reduce taxes.
That's not what they do.
So if they increase taxes an exorbitant amount.
I can't speak.
I'm not going to talk anymore.
When they increase taxes a lot, they're not going to reduce it a lot just because you happen to be in a better position in life where you're like, oh, I own property now.
I don't want all these property taxes and income taxes.
Like, too bad.
You voted for that.
Too bad.
So please stop voting this country and the United States into the ground.
That's the moral of that story.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
One more thing.
Woo!
We're on fire, just like the world.
The world is on fire.
It's been great.
So protests over abortion access shouldn't have to be civil.
Is this the same author?
No, I think this is looking at it.
They look alike.
Yeah.
They're all the same.
Anyway, so again, Teen Vogue is encouraging young people to break the law or have temper tantrums when things don't go their way.
Nice.
This is great.
So this is really funny for so many reasons.
Mostly because Teen Vogue, and we actually showed this article, they had an article in February about how the Freedom Convoy isn't really about freedom.
And in the article, what did she write?
Okay, I didn't write the quote.
But in the article, the author talks about how it was violent and they were disrupting people and it was like obscene what they were doing.
But then in this article, because they like abortion, it's okay to get in the face of people in power and to disrupt the system.
To yell at nuns.
So it's like, and so mostly it talks about how people are protesting outside of the justice of the Supreme Court's houses.
That is, you know, as someone who supported the Truckers, I would say that they have the right to protest outside of judges.
Peacefully.
Peacefully, exactly.
So like, can you threaten them with violence?
No.
Can you, should you be like knocking on their door and like putting like fireworks in like should be a healthy distance between you and the house.
Yes, exactly.
And I think, honestly, if the truckers knew where Justin Trudeau was, I don't think they would have.
They would have definitely gone there and protested outside of the home, which I think they had the right to.
So I do agree with the author on this, that people do have the right to go to someone's house and protest peacefully outside.
But this girl is saying, take it further, take it further.
It's like, you guys are so hypocritical because when it's your cause, you will burn the earth.
Yeah.
And it's easy for this author to say when she's hiding behind her keyboard, you know, like let's go encourage all of our youth to go commit crimes and go riot and burn things.
You know, it's like easy for you to say you're not going to have to deal with the consequences.
Maybe permanent.
I mean, think of like the chop zones in Seattle, Chas or CHOP or whatever it was.
Like lives were lost because of those acts of, you know, uncivility.
And it's like, was it worth it?
I don't think so.
I really don't think so.
And she also brings up the, I think she brings up like the George Floyd riots in 2020.
Those were riots.
That was actually crimes.
People were burning and smashing windows.
Lives were lost.
Exactly.
So peaceful protests, like the truckers in Ottawa and assuming that they're being peaceful outside of like Judge Kavanaugh's house, like that is not the same as actually burning things and destroying businesses and stealing.
Like, yeah.
I just think it's so convenient.
It's so convenient.
And I think I wrote like, so the article title is Protests Over Abortion Access Shouldn't Have to Be Civil.
We mentioned that.
But I wrote, it's literally called civil disobedience.
And if you're not being civil about it, you're being a petulant child.
Yeah.
And you're not protesting.
You're just being a thug.
Yeah.
And it's somehow okay because you're sad about Roe v. Wade over turning.
You want to murder your baby show.
Oh, you poor little.
Yeah.
You know, it's just, it's enough.
I've had enough.
I've had enough of Team Vogue.
Yeah.
Let's give, let's never read Team Vogue again.
I can't help it though.
I know because they're infiltrating the minds of the youth.
Yeah.
It's terrifying.
It's really scary.
It's terrifying.
So, you know, the world is burning.
But, like, I don't know.
Maybe there's some optimism.
Is there any hope that we can maybe offer to our loving fans?
I think you just need, like, it's a stupid cliched saying, and I don't know who said it, but it's like, be the good you want to see in the world.
Yeah, I think it was like Gandhi.
Yeah, there you go.
Thanks, Gandhi.
Someone smart said that, and I agree with them.
Like, you have to, you have to lead by example and have faith that things are going to be okay.
And definitely buy merch from our store.
That'll be good.
That's true.
Use code misunderstood 10.
I think the great thing is, too, like, as Christians, like, we don't need to live in fear, even though the world is burning because like our hope is not found in earthly things.
Like, we're called to, we're supposed to keep our eyes fixed on the unseen because that is eternal.
And that's where our hope is.
Like, my hope is like, this ain't my home.
I'm going to heaven.
Like, see ya.
But I think it's like an action item.
Like, we just need to keep paying attention to culture and keep calling it out.
I mean, a lot of people always make fun of our show because we talk about Kim Kardashian, but it's like, she has sway.
These people have influence and it's working.
We saw at the protests, the March for Life.
Like, these kids.
Those kids read Teen Vogue.
Those kids are actually teenagers and are actually reading this stuff.
And they're like, the wheel is on fire and I can't kill my baby.
And everything sucks.
And it's like, okay, everything does suck, but not even for those reasons.
And you can change it if you just sit up straight and look, face the evil in the world and take it on headfirst and have faith that it's going to be okay.
Be honest and have respect for yourself and people around you too.
Yeah.
And like conservatives, it's time to conserve.
Conserve.
Okay.
Let's conserve.
Let's conserve.
And just, and I mean, it was funny.
I was talking about this on the weekend with some friends, but like conservatives are like the modern-day hipsters.
Like we are the ones swimming upstream and we are called to be countercultural and just let's just keep doing it.
Just keep doing it.
So grab somebody.
So get married.
Go grab people and just go.
Let's get married.
Exactly.
Let's save the planet.
That's it.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's the show.
I didn't know it was a good show.
That was a might have found show, Missy.
