Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, a show for all you culturally and politically misunderstood
00:00:23.600
lady, gent, or non-binary person. We're your hosts. I'm Kat. And I'm Nat. And today let's talk about
00:00:32.380
sex baby in the confines of marriage of course and maybe divorce and some infidelity too. We also
00:00:39.120
tackle several other topics including the women life freedom protests erupting in Iran, euthanasia
00:00:44.920
laws in Canada, Hollywood's continued effort to romanticize murderers and conscription requirements
00:00:50.460
in Russia. Fun. Really fun. Really fun. But first our patented culture shock moment of the
00:00:56.060
work. Turkey to work, huh? Turkey to worker. Okay, so Judd Apatow's new gay romantic comedy
00:01:07.120
came out last Friday. It's called Bros. And apparently it cost $22 million to make and
00:01:14.060
it only made $4 million in its first weekend, which is real bad. And the writer and lead
00:01:22.060
actor Billy Eichner is blaming straight people, obviously, for the flop, which is really interesting
00:01:30.820
because you make a movie for a small fringe minority of people, fringe minority, and then
00:01:36.960
get mad when the larger public doesn't have an interest in it. What he really needs to do
00:01:42.040
is survey every single gay person in America and ask them if they saw it because I'm pretty
00:01:46.900
sure they didn't either. Yeah. Frankly. I'm pretty sure nobody goes to the movies to see
00:01:51.820
anything other than Marvel movies. Exactly. And even those I don't understand why people
00:01:56.080
go to see them. Me either. They're really bad. But they do. But sometimes things are just
00:02:01.000
bad. Like, I'm sorry. And well, he's saying that it's not. He's saying he got really great
00:02:05.700
reviews and he sat in the back. By his mom, probably. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I'm sure there
00:02:11.280
are people who enjoy this kind of thing. He's like, it's an amazing movie and it didn't
00:02:14.120
make money because you people are bigoted. It's like... Is it, though? And I bet at the
00:02:19.020
same time he's also anti-capitalist, but he's like, why didn't it make any capital? And you're
00:02:23.600
like, squeeze me, honey. I mean, there's nothing wrong with making these kinds of films.
00:02:27.820
Oh, absolutely not. I believe that film should reflect all kinds of people and life and relationships.
00:02:34.660
Give us a picture of a life that isn't ours. I think that's great. It doesn't have to look
00:02:38.020
exactly like me, but like... Absolutely. It should be... It should draw you in. Yeah.
00:02:41.760
And if it doesn't draw you in, it's not necessarily bigotry. No, it's not. And there
00:02:45.260
are other LGBTQ, ABCDEFG movies that are really good that did do really well. So I'm sorry.
00:02:51.720
You can't blame a certain group of people for your movie's failings. Like, it just probably
00:02:56.980
actually sucks. Like, I'm serious. Like, that's probably what it is. And it's a tough pill to swallow
00:03:03.440
as an artist. And I can appreciate that you care enough about the film that you're offended,
00:03:07.820
but don't place blame on other people. Yeah. And rom-coms are hard. Yeah. Like,
00:03:12.620
they don't really exist in 2022. It's true. When's the last good rom-com?
00:03:17.420
I can't really think. Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Like, this... Judd Apatow main...
00:03:21.500
Yeah, and he's a great... He's a great director and writer. He's great. But like,
00:03:25.300
when's the last time you loved a Judd Apatow romantic comedy? I can't even think of one
00:03:29.960
in recent years that I've seen or heard of. So, you know...
00:03:34.620
So, sorry about that. America has spoken. Sorry about it. America has spoken. Okay.
00:03:39.720
Speaking of Americans, a gift from God, Candace Cameron Bure, America's sweetheart,
00:03:45.560
champions the joy of married sex and calls it a blessing to be celebrated. So she's basically
00:03:50.600
just touting the joy of married life as she celebrates 26 years with her husband and former
00:03:55.540
NHL player. What does she know about marriage? People who have, like, years of marriage experience
00:04:01.980
know the least about marriage. So always ask your single friends for marriage advice.
00:04:10.080
Married. What a bore. I know. And she seems... They seem like they're very happy.
00:04:15.360
Mm-hmm. Which is refreshing. Yeah. So here's a quote from her. She says,
00:04:21.280
sex is obviously important. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's a good quote.
00:04:29.100
She said that she hates how sex within marriage gets such a bad rap. While acknowledging that
00:04:33.260
rough patches happen, she ultimately believes sex is a gift from God to be within the constraints
00:04:38.400
of marriage and that should be celebrated in a huge part of marriage. Which is such a nice...
00:04:43.280
It's so nice. It's so refreshing, to be honest. It's so refreshing. And I think a lot of people
00:04:48.220
have sex outside of marriage and we're not here to condemn anyone, but we do talk about on the show
00:04:53.060
how the sexual revolution has actually been quite detrimental for women. And the reason sex is better
00:04:58.820
in marriage, beyond just the fact that you have time to get to know each other's bodies,
00:05:03.300
is that there's more security. So if you get pregnant, you have support.
00:05:07.740
That happened to me. Exactly. While we were married. Yeah, but you guys were in a serious
00:05:11.700
relationship too, though. So if you're not a Christian and you're in a serious relationship,
00:05:14.520
I think we could... That's fair. You know, at least you have some security in your life.
00:05:19.760
I mean, STDs, you can get those by having sex with strangers. Yikes. Or you can just have bad,
00:05:24.020
awkward sex. Awkward sex. Horrible. Horrible. You know, maybe you go to his house and the mattress
00:05:28.380
and the... It's gross. And it's on the floor. Yeah. Like, you just never know what you're walking into.
00:05:33.400
Yeah. And then you never hear from him again. And then you never hear from him again. And that comes with
00:05:37.680
emotional stress too. And that's not nice. It must be hard, you know, for women to navigate this...
00:05:44.700
I don't know. I think that there should be more encouragement for people to take sex seriously.
00:05:51.840
Yes. Because it is better. Sex is better. Well, of course it is. Because, like, the first time you
00:05:56.500
have sex with anyone is always terrible and awkward. Yeah. Because you don't know each other. You don't
00:05:59.340
know each other's hearts and you don't know each other's bodies. Unless you're, like, wasted.
00:06:02.460
Yeah. And then you don't remember anything. Which is terrible. Which is terrible. Yeah.
00:06:05.600
But, like, what could be better than having sex with someone who, like, not only knows
00:06:10.340
your body, but knows you. And loves you. And loves you. Yeah. Like, love, that's, like,
00:06:15.580
the best thing ever. Yeah. It literally... Like, you're literally the closest to someone when
00:06:21.660
you're having sex with them. Yeah. So it'd be nice to have that sort of connection beyond
00:06:26.680
the physical aspect of it. Yeah. And not to be weird and gross here, but it's, like,
00:06:30.520
petting someone else's dog is great. You're like, oh, this is a cute dog that I saw on the
00:06:34.360
street. But, like, petting your own dog? You're just like... You're like, put your whole head
00:06:38.600
inside my mouth. Again, sorry about that. Sorry about the analogy, timing-wise. Yeah. But it's just,
00:06:43.640
it's better when you know the person. Absolutely. And you know their heart. And that's why God... That's the way God intended it.
00:06:48.960
And when God creates something, and we actually fulfill, like, what he wanted for us and achieve
00:06:56.300
what he wanted, it's gonna be better. That's... It's gonna be great, guys. He knows what he's
00:06:59.480
doing, guys. He's God. He's sort of perfect. He's basically perfect. Almost like he knows what he's
00:07:03.840
doing. Yeah. Yeah. It's almost like he knows what he's doing. So anyway, very refreshing take from
00:07:08.640
Candice Cameron Bure. I thought it was brr. Maybe it is. I have never heard it. You know what? No, we're
00:07:14.460
going with Bure. It's much classier. It's just a little more elegant. She's a classy gal. Yeah. Also,
00:07:18.800
she says that humor plays a big part in their relationship. Yes. And I would be like, ding,
00:07:22.180
ding, ding. Yes, please. I totally agree. 100%. Humor is my love language. I hate people who aren't
00:07:27.500
funny. No. Like, I actually, I know, like, we're not supposed to hate people, but I hate you if you're
00:07:31.900
not just kidding. No, I'm just kidding. No, but like, have you ever been on a date with someone who you
00:07:36.040
thought would be awesome? And they're so not funny. And then they're not funny, and you're like, oh. Yeah.
00:07:41.900
That's... It's not gonna work out. No. It's never gonna work out. It's not gonna work out. No. And one aspect of humor in a
00:07:46.960
marriage that is kind of interesting is just being able to, like, laugh things off. Because
00:07:50.660
when my husband and I get in a fight, it normally doesn't last very long, because by the end of it,
00:07:54.880
we're laughing. Yeah. So... That's how I break tension as well. Yeah. Yeah. Or, and it's like,
00:07:59.640
even though you're pissed off at them and you don't want to laugh, you can't help it. Yeah. Because
00:08:03.400
you're like, I'm being so serious. Yeah, exactly. I'm mad. And then it's like, all right, well,
00:08:07.380
we're good. And it's just, it's... That's the best. To be able to entertain yourselves is also very,
00:08:11.820
very good in a marriage. Yeah. And you don't want to be the only funny person. Exactly. That's not
00:08:16.720
funny. Okay. Well, that was very refreshing. Thanks, Candace. Thanks, girl. A.K.A. DJ Tanner.
00:08:21.700
Yeah. Glad it worked out for her. Glad it worked out. All right. Okay. Didn't work out for others,
00:08:26.680
though. Yeah. Nope. And this is seven pieces of dating advice from divorce lawyers who have seen it
00:08:32.260
all. Yes. So... Yikes. Approximately half of married couples end up severing ties and parting ways.
00:08:37.560
That's a huge... That's huge. Yikes, guys. I'm looking at you. Just kidding. Yeah.
00:08:41.160
That means one in two. Yeah. That's really... So... One of us, guys. Just kidding. Pray for us. Just
00:08:47.580
kidding. Yeah. Thanks. It's going to be okay. We're going to be fine. So some of the advice,
00:08:50.500
really get to know them. So get down to the nitty gritty. I think it's important to ask those tough
00:08:55.240
questions right out the gate. Yeah. Like, don't tiptoe. Don't tiptoe. Just ask them. This one thing
00:09:01.800
says you can tell a lot about a person by how they talk about their family. If they're like, I hate those
00:09:06.300
bitches. Yeah. You're like, hmm, do I want to be one of those bitches that you hate one day? It's so true.
00:09:11.060
It's not. And like, even the way they talk about their mom, like, is it a little weird? Or is he
00:09:15.700
respectful? Yeah. But you don't... And some people have terrible moms. Yeah. Like some... It's so true.
00:09:20.920
We've talked about toxic moms just because they don't have a great relationship with their parents
00:09:24.060
doesn't mean that they're a bad person. No, absolutely. It's just how do they reflect on it?
00:09:27.100
How do they talk about it? It's so true. Are they like, I've healed from that trauma. I'm ready to move on
00:09:31.680
with someone else. Or are they going to bring that trauma into this relationship? Good to know. Yeah. It's true.
00:09:35.400
I mean, this is one of the reasons I was drawn to Seb because one of the first times we hung out,
00:09:39.120
he asked me about my family, which I thought was really sweet because it's such an intimate thing
00:09:43.800
talking about your own family because families are complicated as you kind of just alluded to. I know
00:09:48.320
they are. Yeah. So it's a personal question and it's nice to hear that someone was interested in
00:09:54.560
that. So I don't know. Guys, maybe ask a girl about her family next time you're on a date. That's
00:09:58.440
really sweet. Seb is... He's a sweet guy. Other than Pepe, he's... He's right up there. He's up there
00:10:03.500
with Pepe. He's really up there. My dog. Yeah. All right. Next one. Communicate effectively. So this
00:10:08.260
is like obvious, but so hard. It's so difficult. It's not easy. It's one of... Apparently communication
00:10:14.640
is the number one thing that causes divorce, like lack of proper communication. But it's like,
00:10:19.500
okay, just fix your communication. Yeah. That's not so easy. No. But one of my favorite books on the
00:10:24.680
topic is The Five Languages of Love or what's it called? The Five Love Languages. Yes. Okay.
00:10:29.000
Written by Barry D. Chapman. It's great. And it also comes with a quiz. That's fun. So you can find
00:10:35.320
out what your love language is. Interactive. And then you can find out what your partner's love
00:10:40.340
language is and you can always make sure to use it. That's cool. Yeah. Because you have to learn
00:10:45.260
how to love people the way they need to be loved. Yeah. And not how you want to be loved because
00:10:49.820
we're different people. Absolutely. And that's the beauty of marriage. It's two different people
00:10:53.300
coming together as one and that can come with tension. That's why I also think it's important
00:10:57.220
on the communication level is to marry someone you've been in a fight with. Because I think
00:11:00.840
how you can repair and rebuild from that fight will not only help you prevent future fights,
00:11:05.640
but like it gives you resilience that you're able, you know, you can work through things
00:11:09.080
no matter what. And fighting is just another form of communication. Like obviously we're not
00:11:12.220
talking about getting nasty. Yeah. Which, and fighting dirty. Which can happen. Yeah. Yeah.
00:11:17.320
But like. Avoid it if you can. But like having a dispute in a marriage is going to happen.
00:11:21.780
And so like, exactly. Like how do we get out of this? How, how do you fight? How do I fight?
00:11:25.680
Like what do you, what do you like to do when you're not feeling so good? Like for me,
00:11:29.360
I like to be smothered in love, but my husband needs a little bit of space. Yeah. And at first
00:11:34.900
like, I'd be like, Hey, we're fighting. Like, let me get it. And it's like, no, you know what?
00:11:38.720
He needs back. He needs a little space. And then he'll come to me when he's ready. And like
00:11:42.180
learning that. Yeah. Proved fruitful. Yeah. And I mean, every day is you're learning in a marriage.
00:11:48.920
I think like no day is like the other. Um, but you know, you got to take it in stride.
00:11:54.920
You got to take it, take it in stride. Okay. What's next? Know what real commitment means.
00:11:59.960
Um, don't get married if you're not ready to be married. I think this is one of the main reasons
00:12:05.020
people get divorced in a, like in a tangent, in a tangible sense, because I don't think people
00:12:09.440
really internalize or think about for better, for worse, for richer, for poor and sickness and health
00:12:14.700
when they're dating because they're not actually in that situation. It's hard to,
00:12:18.900
it's hard to think into the future, you know? Um, and like things are usually pretty peachy at the
00:12:25.500
beginning of a marriage or not marriage at the beginning of a relationship or at the beginning
00:12:29.820
of an engagement. And like when it hits the fan, like it really usually hits. Yeah. And if you're
00:12:36.060
going to be married, like I've often said this, that I feel like a lot of people get married because
00:12:41.540
they're like, they want a wedding. Yeah. They want a party. They want to have their friends there.
00:12:44.740
They want the dress. They want the, the ring, the ring. They want all that stuff. But it's like,
00:12:48.280
okay, but that is secondary to the marriage, which is a lifelong commitment. Yeah. And people take it.
00:12:53.820
They're like, I even like, sorry, mom throwing you under the bus. Like I asked my mom when she
00:12:58.580
married my dad, who they're now divorced. I asked her like, did you think it was forever? And she was
00:13:02.560
like, I never really thought about it. And I was like, red flag, red flag, red flag. Like, yeah,
00:13:08.640
it's forever. That's the idea. And if it doesn't work out, like that's, you know, my parents have
00:13:13.360
been divorced. I'm not going to like, like it's happened. Yeah. But you don't want it to happen.
00:13:18.920
That's the whole point of getting married. You don't do it thinking, oh, we can just get divorced.
00:13:22.380
Like, of course you can. You can also poison yourself. But it should be like your last resort.
00:13:26.920
By eating bad shrimp. Yeah. You don't want to do that. Don't do either. Actually. Don't do either.
00:13:30.620
Well, and that's something that I've noticed among Christians. Christians tend to idolize marriage.
00:13:34.480
And I get it because a lot of Christians want to wait to have sex before marriage. So they kind of
00:13:39.160
let their goody bits talk for them. But it's better to wait because it's better to wait for the right
00:13:44.760
person than to be in a bad marriage. Because like once you're in it, you're in it.
00:13:49.320
To want to get married young. I think that's another thing. It's like, oh, I want to be pretty bride or
00:13:52.920
whatever. Pretty groom. Like I want to be young when I get married. It's like, okay, but are you ready to
00:13:56.660
actually be married? Yeah. And make that commitment. I don't know.
00:14:00.960
Yeah. We don't know the answer fully. We'll find out in 50 years. We'll find out in a few years.
00:14:04.880
Yeah. Okay. What's next? Your significant other won't change, but stick with them if they do.
00:14:10.700
That's a big one. This is a big one. Ladies. Yeah. You can't fix him. You can't fix him. You can't
00:14:15.980
change him. And this is why it's important, I think, to marry someone who shares your values,
00:14:20.280
especially as a Christian, because you are not going to convert him, ladies. It's very unlikely.
00:14:24.380
You're not going to change his style either. You're not going to. It is what it is.
00:14:27.300
And he's always going to be messy. Yeah. So if that's going to kill you, like, sorry.
00:14:32.680
Yeah. I think people can change. Yeah. And I know I've changed a lot since Sebastian and I started
00:14:40.380
dating even, and even in the last few years of our marriage. But, and so I do think it's important
00:14:45.380
to be open. Yeah. People change. Yeah. But don't expect them to change how you want them to. Don't
00:14:48.820
get into a relationship with someone thinking, oh, you could be so good if X, Y, and Z. It's like,
00:14:53.660
that's not going to happen. Yeah. It's, it's so true. No. Um, so, you know, take, take marriage
00:14:58.700
seriously, y'all. This is a big one. Talk about finances before you need to. Yeah. Transparency.
00:15:04.960
Finances. I feel like communication and finances are, I mean, I feel like it's communication about
00:15:09.920
finances that causes, this is just like my personal take. No, I agree. That cause most divorces. I think
00:15:15.320
so too. If you don't know what exactly. And I, again, I talk about this all the time, but I read Reddit
00:15:21.120
and it's just like relationship. I just, I'm just like, it's fun. It's lawyerism for me.
00:15:24.700
No, it's great. Um, I'm reading like all of these, all of these things. It's like, oh,
00:15:28.340
my husband had this, has this addiction or this, like it's a sex addiction or he has this separate
00:15:34.220
account where he has a gambling addiction or whatever it is. It's like, or, or I have crazy
00:15:38.580
credit card debt and he doesn't know about it. It's like, that's terrifying. Yeah. You're kind of
00:15:42.960
backing someone into a corner. If you're in a tough financial situation and then you marry them and then
00:15:47.260
they soon realize that you have incurred all this debt over time that they now have to help you pay
00:15:51.780
off. It's not fair. It's not fair. And like my financial situation is a lot worse than my husband
00:15:56.080
when we got married. And, but he was well aware of it. Like we got mine too. We have different
00:16:00.400
philosophies on, on money. I'm like, oh, I got money. I'm going to go shopping. Terrible. Terrible.
00:16:04.660
Me too. But he's like, oh, I have money. I'm going to save it. And then, you know, and I'm like,
00:16:08.800
okay, I'm trying to learn that and I'm working on it. But it's like, to keep that from him
00:16:12.720
would have been a sin for us. I think it's unfair. Imagine he found out later and he's like,
00:16:17.480
who the heck are you? Because it's a lie. You know what you were getting into, bucko.
00:16:21.180
Omitting things is a lie, guys. It's, you know, don't do it. Don't do it. And then of course,
00:16:27.620
there is dating is easy. Marriage is hard, which we've kind of already talked about.
00:16:32.400
I mean, it goes without saying you spend years, hopefully with this person, there's going to be
00:16:38.880
ups and downs along the way. It's going to be difficult. And I think even throwing kids into
00:16:43.180
the mix makes it even more complicated. And you guys are going to experience this soon, but
00:16:47.400
you've way less time for yourself. And you're kind of just dedicating your whole life to this little
00:16:52.260
creature. The stakes are raised. Yeah, absolutely. You raise the stakes. And it's like, well, when you
00:16:56.520
thought, oh, maybe we can just get divorced if it doesn't work out. Now you have this child that
00:16:59.960
will link you together forever. Yeah. And who needs you guys to stay together. You can never fully
00:17:03.600
divorce. You cannot. Yeah. So you might as well just work it out. Just work it out.
00:17:06.920
Yep. And then finally, we have know what you're fighting for. And I think hopefully, you know,
00:17:13.260
you fight for each other every day. Yeah. Because that's what marriage is. It's about getting up and
00:17:17.160
fighting for each other every day. Yeah. But I think this is like when the obstacles and distractions
00:17:23.540
of life come into play, remember why you got married in the first place. Because marriage is a
00:17:29.520
fight. Like it shouldn't be fighting each other. You're fighting the world. You're fighting all the
00:17:32.440
things that are going to get in the way and maybe pull you apart from each other. But like, remember
00:17:36.140
what you love about this person. Even when there's annoying things, you're like, I love
00:17:40.200
this person because of all these things that are still in my mind. And that's what I'm fighting
00:17:44.080
for every day. It's so true. And I think Allie Beth Stuckey said something about how you both
00:17:49.740
want the same thing at the end of the day. Like no one wants to come home and live in an environment
00:17:53.460
where you're both miserable and you're both fighting. You guys want to live amicably and in peace.
00:17:58.080
So work together to achieve that. Yeah. You want to stay together. Exactly. Exactly. And live in
00:18:04.020
harmony. Exactly. That's the goal. And if you restate your goal to each other, even when things
00:18:08.760
are tough, I think that, again, I've only been married for a month. She really knows a lot though.
00:18:13.500
I am an expert. No, but they're like, I mean, you've been in a relationship for a while and I,
00:18:20.060
yeah, obviously marriage does come with new experiences and stuff, but you know what you're
00:18:25.460
talking about. We'll figure it out. I've been married for three and a half years and I'm an
00:18:28.900
expert. She's an expert. Wow. That's a lifetime. That's a lifetime. And she's only seven years old.
00:18:33.340
And I'm only seven. Anyway. So moving on, moving on. Well, okay. So we just kind of talked about
00:18:40.900
this where in marriage you're going to argue, but George Clooney says that his, he and wife Amal
00:18:45.760
Clooney have never had an argument. It's just been easy. I think they just don't talk to each other.
00:18:50.560
Someone, someone lying. Okay. Do not talk to each other. That's the best way
00:18:55.220
to avoid an argument is to avoid each other's presence. I mean, I guess a life of luxury,
00:18:59.760
fame and wealth could be why. Yeah. If you're not going to fight about money, maybe you're
00:19:03.260
not going to fight them at all. Yeah. It just seems a little like a tracking passion in a
00:19:07.680
way, almost like, you know, maybe they seem to be on the same page. Like they both, they
00:19:15.400
had a joint interview with some, something voters. Yeah. One of those things. Yeah. One of
00:19:19.820
those things. And they both were like, yeah, like we're on the same page and there's
00:19:23.600
no hostility. So they married themselves. Yeah. Yeah. And that's fine. It sounds cute,
00:19:28.240
but I think maybe it's just a semantical thing where they're like, she's never thrown a pot
00:19:31.880
at my head. It's like, okay, have you had a dis, cause she's a lawyer. Yeah. So I find
00:19:37.480
it really hard to find, to think about a lawyer, not having a disagreement. They're kind of
00:19:41.580
argumentative for a living. Exactly. Where you're like, they have children too. Yeah. So it's
00:19:47.360
like, Oh, where should the kids go to school? Like, should we pull them out of school
00:19:50.660
for this funeral or what? Like things that are serious that happen in life. It's like
00:19:54.140
little everyday things. Mom says no, dad says yes. Like that's an argument. You don't need
00:19:57.960
to be yelling and screaming and throwing hot water in each other's faces. No. Let's not
00:20:01.200
do that. Please don't do that. Let's not do that. But a dispute, a disagreement, a debate
00:20:06.100
is an argument. Yeah. You don't have to be screaming about it. It's just like, we've never had an
00:20:09.720
argument. Like you, I think it's just semantics or you're a liar or you just avoid each other's
00:20:13.660
presence altogether. Yeah. So all three of those are terrible things and we wish you all the
00:20:17.940
best. Um, yeah. Yes. Okay. Well, yeah. Uh, just on that too, he says that basically
00:20:24.320
it does start with love. Um, and that that's sort of the whole secret to it. And I agree
00:20:31.380
like you do need love, but love is not all you need in marriage. You need so many more
00:20:36.160
things, especially in like a biblical marriage. You need respect. You need God, all these things
00:20:41.860
like love is not enough. Love is not enough sometimes. So I just think that's kind of naive
00:20:46.980
of him to save for a 61 year old man. I don't know. Well, this is his first like long-term
00:20:51.240
relationship. That's true. And I do wish them the best. Oh yeah. And they seem cute. They're
00:20:54.800
cute. They've been married longer than I have. So maybe they know something I don't know. I'm
00:20:58.840
willing to accept that possibility. It just seems silly to tell people, like, it's sort of like
00:21:03.800
Kim Kardashian saying she has no gray hair. Yeah. At 41. Diet. Yeah. You obviously like, you don't
00:21:10.440
need to be holier than thou or unrelatable to everyone else. It's like, it's okay. People prefer it when
00:21:15.480
you're actually honest about these kinds of things, about your life, about your shortcomings.
00:21:20.300
I like to know that Kim Kardashian flosses or something. No. She has people for that. She
00:21:26.620
has someone else do that. But you know what I mean. Okay. Yeah. Just be normal, George.
00:21:30.860
Okay. Get it together, George. Get it together. All right. Next one. All right. Are you guilty
00:21:35.740
of accidental cheating? Tracy Cox reveals how woke culture has blurred the lines on what counts
00:21:40.160
as infidelity and how to avoid getting yourself in hot water. Yeah. This is interesting. It
00:21:45.640
is interesting. And the whole point of the article is that, like, things have shifted in the
00:21:49.820
past, like, couple decades where back in the day it was like, there's clear lines. It's
00:21:54.160
like, you don't go and have sex with another woman when you're married. Like, that's infidelity.
00:21:58.120
But now with the internet and, like, with, like, the normalization of polygamy. Yeah. Yeah,
00:22:04.180
exactly. And, like, my truth. And just, like, having social media things and, like, dinners.
00:22:09.900
And rooting everything in emotion, I think, is part of it, too. Yeah, like, what feels good
00:22:13.060
to me. It's like, oh, what's technically cheating. Yeah. But there's a couple of things
00:22:17.380
here. And I wanted to ask Nat if she thinks they're cheating or not. Okay. Okay. So.
00:22:21.840
This is interesting. Okay. Going to a strip club.
00:22:23.620
Um. So, in a biblical sense, yes. Because Proverbs 6.25 says, do not lust in your heart
00:22:31.180
after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes. If your right eye causes you
00:22:35.720
to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. Matthew 29. So, I mean, anything to me that could get
00:22:41.000
you aroused is probably cheating. See, I would say it's not cheating. Going to a strip club,
00:22:46.140
that's just jokes. Yeah, I think it could be as well. I think it depends, maybe. Yes.
00:22:50.260
Well, that leads us to the second one. I don't know if married men should be looking
00:22:53.880
at other naked women. Like, you wouldn't like it. But there's so many naked women everywhere.
00:22:57.920
Like, you go walk down the street and there's a Victoria's Secret billboard. What's different
00:23:01.200
about that? I think it's because you're paying for it, first of all, and you're seeking it
00:23:05.720
on your own. True. And I also think, um, oh, what was I going to say? Something amazing,
00:23:11.300
I'm sure. Sorry. Give me a second. Uh. Oh, yeah. I also think that if you found your husband's
00:23:17.740
phone and you realize that he was only following chicks like Emily Ratajanowski or whatever
00:23:22.120
her name is, can never pronounce it, never will. Sorry, guys. She's great boobs, though.
00:23:25.180
Yeah, but if you're. And we know that because she shows them all the time. Because she shows
00:23:27.560
them all the time. But if your husband or boyfriend was constantly looking at those kinds of girls
00:23:31.580
all day long, that was who he was following. It's kind of, like, I think as a woman, I would
00:23:35.500
feel really uncomfortable. I would feel uncomfortable, for sure. And so it's like, how is it different
00:23:38.840
if he's going to watch women take off their clothes? Well, okay. Is he going to a strip
00:23:42.560
club, like, once every several years for, like, a friend's bachelor party? Yeah. Not cheating. If
00:23:49.520
he's like, oh, it's Friday night hitting the strip club, it's like, you have problems. Yeah. I mean,
00:23:54.040
but then it's also, like, the death of singleness is why a lot of men do that kind of stuff for their
00:23:59.960
bachelor party. And it's like, but you shouldn't be sad about losing your singleness either. So it's
00:24:06.000
like, I don't know. Like, I think it's, I do think it's wrong, but I also, yeah. Okay. Well,
00:24:11.680
that's, so she says yes. I say no. But the next one is having a private lap dance. Yes. Yeah.
00:24:17.740
On Dope. She's trying to arouse your man. And you're going into a private, anything private is
00:24:23.200
cheating. Once it's, like, that's the difference, I think, to me, is, like, you're surrounded by
00:24:27.000
other people. There's waiters and there's security staff. There's more accountability. It's like,
00:24:31.000
this isn't, this, while you're might being aroused in a public strip club, like, in a, in a group
00:24:36.220
setting, having a private, like, just having a private conversation, a private dinner, private
00:24:40.780
rendezvous, those are cheating. They're different. Yeah. Especially if your partner doesn't know
00:24:45.780
about it, I think. Yes. Like, that's, that's another thing. Are you lying to your wife or your
00:24:49.780
husband that you're going to a strip club? Like, that, if you're lying about it, it's cheating
00:24:53.780
because what are you lying about? Yeah. Yeah. Some of the other ones were, like, dirty dancing,
00:24:58.840
cheating. That's just awkward. Yeah. Like, having, like, a, a rub, an obsession with another
00:25:03.460
person is cheating. I find that weird. Yeah. Um, having a private dinner with someone who
00:25:06.940
obviously fancies you. Yeah, because it's, like, why do you need attention from another
00:25:10.540
man? What if it's, like, okay, yeah, I was gonna say, like, what if it's a work thing?
00:25:14.420
Yeah, if you're all out together. But then, yeah, but that, this is saying private. So, it's, like,
00:25:17.760
once it's private, it's, like, you don't need to put yourself in a situation with someone
00:25:20.800
where you know what they want at the end of the night is not what you want. Yeah. Um, if you're,
00:25:25.240
like, trying to get a job or something, it's, like, do you want that job? Right. Do you really want that?
00:25:28.720
It leaves room for you to be tempted, and we're all fallible, fallible beings, and it's best not
00:25:35.860
to put yourself in situations where you might be weak and make a poor decision. Yeah. Like,
00:25:39.820
just try to avoid those kinds of situations, I think. Um, the last one, though, is eyeing up other
00:25:44.620
people when your partner is with you. Yeah. What's different about being alone and when your partner
00:25:49.480
is with you? But I would say no, because I think it's healthy to look at other people. Don't lust. I think
00:25:54.880
lusting is different. Yeah. Like, wanting it. Yeah. Being, like, ooh, I wish I could have her.
00:25:59.780
It's, like, yeah. Okay. But just, I point out beautiful women all the time because I'm, like,
00:26:03.540
wow, she's so beautiful. Yeah. I think it just happens naturally. Yeah. Like, we're drawn to
00:26:08.540
people. We're people. So, of course, we're going to look at other people. Yeah, it's, like, art. Like,
00:26:11.520
a really beautiful face is, like, a piece of art. And it's, like, no, don't look at it. Don't look at it.
00:26:16.260
But if you're, like, is he going to follow her home? Like, that's different. Yeah. No, exactly.
00:26:20.500
I think there's a line. I think it's different when you're in person, again, than if your boyfriend
00:26:25.820
or husband is following a bunch of chicks on social media. I find that to be really creepy. It's super
00:26:29.620
creepy. Yeah. I don't know why. I just think it's, because it's in the, it's his, like, it's private.
00:26:34.300
Yeah. Like, he's on the toilet just looking at naked chicks. And you're, like, ah, no thanks. Like,
00:26:38.500
it's, yeah. Like, I don't, I wouldn't mind if Sebastian was checking out another chick. He probably
00:26:42.840
wouldn't. Only chicks that look exactly like me. Yeah. That's honestly, can I tell that story
00:26:46.860
where, like, we were at a party, um, I don't know, like, last, two summers ago. And we were
00:26:51.980
all talking about our celebrity crushes. And I came to, to Seb. And I was, like, Seb, who's
00:26:55.920
your celebrity crush? And he was, like, anyone who looks like Matt. And we're, like, aw, you
00:26:59.620
bastard. We all feel, we all look so bad now. He's so cute. Who's the prettiest one? Who's
00:27:04.260
the prettiest girl? Margot Robbie. Yes. No, I'm just kidding. I don't look like, I look nothing
00:27:08.160
like her. But so cute. Yeah. Yeah. He's a nice guy. What a gem. And then here I am being, like,
00:27:12.320
Timothee Chalamet, he's so hot. And he looks nothing like Sebastian. I know. I'm like,
00:27:16.300
Adam Driver. Yeah, I know. I mean. I know I'm the worst. Sorry, honey. Okay. Love you. Sorry,
00:27:21.240
sweetums. Okay. All right. Yeah, it's interesting. There's a, there's, there's a few things to think
00:27:26.100
about when it comes to cheating. But I do think our culture does encourage it. I think you know
00:27:30.520
when you're cheating. Yeah, exactly. Like, if you feel that guilt and that sort of conviction
00:27:34.840
about it, maybe avoid those kinds of situations. I think it's, yeah. Yeah. Great. Moving on.
00:27:40.180
Um, here's an article from the New York Post. I'm leaving my boyfriend. So we went on a breakup
00:27:44.580
vacation together. Yes. So the article reads, she said, me and my boyfriend are breaking up in two
00:27:49.960
weeks. Uh, we went on a beautiful breakup weekend getaway. We cuddled in this spot reminiscing. We
00:27:55.360
talked about all our fears, our plans for healing and what we hope for our futures. So it's like they
00:28:00.420
planned their breakup or she just moving or something like a nightmare to me. Yeah. I mean,
00:28:06.100
it's cool if you can end on good terms, but it's like, yeah, I drag it out. Yeah. Just
00:28:09.880
cut the cord. Yeah. Talk to your girlfriend. Like, again, I'm not judging because if that
00:28:15.520
works for them, I just personally think that would be my nightmare and I would be second
00:28:19.440
guessing the whole thing the whole time and I'd be like falling more in love. And then
00:28:23.700
it's going to be harder to say goodbye. It's going to be harder to say goodbye. Anyway,
00:28:26.340
I don't know. Just cut the cord. Just cut that bandaid. Alrighty. Let's talk about Iran. Yeah.
00:28:31.340
This is going to be fun. This is going to be really fun. Okay. Woo. Sure. Um, as you
00:28:36.200
know, there are protests happening in Iran and if you don't know, go on Twitter. Yeah.
00:28:41.300
Get out of the house. Yes. Um, basically, uh, on September 16th, Massa Amini, a 22 year
00:28:48.640
old Iranian woman of Kurdish ethnicity was arrested by Iran's morality. Police are violating
00:28:52.900
the law that requires women to wear hijab while Amini was in police custody. Shocking images
00:28:57.580
surfaced, surfaced of her in a hospital, but apparently bruised, um, and battered. And
00:29:01.740
hours later, she was dead. And this is what, uh, caused an uproar and rightfully so. Um,
00:29:10.760
I think how fragile, this is not new. We all know what happens in Islamic regimes and that's
00:29:16.420
why, uh, I have no problem being called an Islamophobe when people ask, like, when I say
00:29:22.040
things like this, but like how fragile are the men there that they can't look at a woman's
00:29:26.240
hair that grows naturally from the top of her head. Yeah. Like, sorry that you're such
00:29:30.340
a frigging pervert and a, and a rapist that you can't look at a woman's head without being
00:29:34.520
aroused. Like that's on you. Keep it in your pants. That's on you, buddy. Yeah. Keep it
00:29:37.920
in your pants. Um, and so apparently though, in another article, um, predating the revolution
00:29:46.020
that kind of is why all this is happening in Iran, uh, pictures of Iran used to look like
00:29:51.400
glimpses into the future. Yeah. So under the Shah's rule, women gained an increase in
00:29:56.840
protection, protections and rights, including the right to vote. The minimum age of marriage
00:30:00.440
was raised from 13 to 18 and women were granted the right to request a divorce and to fight for
00:30:04.420
the custody of their child. Women even held high positions of power, such as serving in parliament
00:30:09.460
or on councils and a considerable number of women attended university and were part of the
00:30:13.380
workforce and education was free for both boys and girls. And then following the revolution,
00:30:18.460
19, it was 1979. 1979. Yeah. The government control was seized by revolutionary leader
00:30:23.620
Ayatollah Ruola Khomeini. Sorry guys. Nailed that. And Iran was soon under fundamentalist Islamic
00:30:31.620
rule, which is why it became mandatory for women and girls to wear the hijab. Um, mandatory.
00:30:38.400
And that's the thing. Mandatory. When you, like, I will not criticize a woman in the Western world
00:30:43.240
for choosing to wear hijab because that's just like, you should have a right to choose.
00:30:47.120
Right. To choose how you want to dress and how you want to have a relationship with your
00:30:50.660
God. Yeah. That's cool. However, people get upset because if I'm like, oh, mandatory hijab
00:30:56.220
is horrible. They're like, well, it's, they don't have to. It's like, yeah, literally they
00:30:58.740
have to. It's mandatory hijab. That's, that's. You hear that so much from like these influencers
00:31:02.980
and Hollywood people and progressives talking about how it's, it's empowering for them.
00:31:08.200
And I'm like, it's empowering here. Yeah. Maybe here if it's empowering to wear what
00:31:12.080
you feel like has, makes you a more religious pious person. That's. It's like that's between
00:31:17.300
you and your religion. Yeah, absolutely. But when people, I'm so sick of people saying
00:31:21.260
it's not mandatory. This is why this whole revolution is happening. It's so disgusting.
00:31:25.740
Even your, you are, you hate toxic masculinity, but it's okay when it's happening in the Islamic
00:31:32.260
world. Yeah. No girlfriend. And it's so funny how we hear Americans screaming about the reversal
00:31:37.580
of Roe v. Wade. They have literally no rights. And it's like these women actually have no
00:31:41.760
rights. The hijab thing is just scratching the surface because there's also. Yeah. That's
00:31:46.320
just the, it's the visual cue. Yeah. It's the easiest way to, to see that. But there's
00:31:51.020
so many things that they're not allowed to do. Yeah. There are other discriminatory laws
00:31:55.440
in place, such as men are considered the head of the house. So they can, they're the only
00:31:58.940
people who can determine where a family will live. They're entitled to custody. Um, they
00:32:03.340
make all relevant legal decisions. Um, they, women must meet all of their husband's sexual
00:32:08.440
needs. Uh, if they're victims of domestic violence, they must prove that the abuse was so severe
00:32:13.680
that it was intolerable. Um, young girls. And you're, and you're asking a group of men to
00:32:18.560
make that judgment for you. Exactly. Yeah. I'm sure there's no corruption there. Yeah. There's
00:32:22.080
child marriages. Um, the list really goes on. It goes on and on and on. Yeah. Oh, this
00:32:27.360
is a fun one too. Women have to marry a Muslim man, but a Muslim man can marry anyone outside
00:32:32.360
his faith. Just, just lots of just egregious. Yeah. You want to talk inequality? Yeah. Like
00:32:37.540
it's, and then you have someone like Jennifer Lawrence who's complaining about making $2 million
00:32:42.940
less than Leonardo DiCaprio on her movie because of her vagina. And it's like, sure, maybe that's
00:32:49.140
inequality, but like. And inequalities do exist in the Western world. For sure. No, for sure.
00:32:53.900
And it's not like we can't talk about it just because it's worse somewhere else. But like, it
00:32:57.740
really shines a light on how, well, how lucky we are. Yeah. How lucky we are here. We're so
00:33:03.200
privileged. And how we really need to stand up for women all over the world and not just look at
00:33:08.600
ourselves and be like, what did I lose today? Because I can't afford my baby. Like these women
00:33:14.400
are literally, like when you say something like they have to satisfy all their husband's sexual urges
00:33:20.620
or whatever. That's rape. Yeah. That's rape. That's legalized rape. It doesn't sound pleasurable.
00:33:25.280
It does not sound pleasurable at all. Yeah. And apparently by 1983, women who were unveiled
00:33:29.840
in public were subject to 74 lashes by law. And in 1995, failure to veil became an imprisonable
00:33:36.560
offense. So like these, it's, they're already in prison. Like this is, this sounds like prison. Yeah.
00:33:43.840
Like, and you know, what's interesting is, um, our prime minister, Justin Trudeau fully supports the
00:33:51.240
revolution happening in Iran right now as he should. Yeah. But when his people are fighting
00:33:56.980
for freedom peacefully, he, he locks them down and takes away their, freezes their bank accounts and
00:34:02.860
tramples them with horses. And I've seen people on the internet say, Oh, it's different because
00:34:06.740
someone didn't die. Well, that's good. Yeah. Like that's great. Thank God. Someone didn't die. Do
00:34:13.700
you want someone, do you want someone who's unvaccinated to have been shot before you care
00:34:17.800
about them? You know, you could argue that people did die because of the lockdown restrictions that
00:34:22.720
Trudeau imposed on us, but you could, and other things, you absolutely could argue that, but you're
00:34:27.700
saying you would only get behind this movement if a bullet is put in someone's brain. Yeah, that's
00:34:32.540
messed up. It is messed up. That is so messed up. It is. Jeepers. Yeah. Jeepers is, it's just
00:34:38.280
Jeepers. It's just funny that he's taking action to, now he's imposing sanctions on Iran because of
00:34:45.700
this. And it's like, man, you really don't care about your own country. No, you really don't. No.
00:34:50.740
And like, we already knew that, but it's just like, because it makes him look bad. It's inconvenient for
00:34:55.460
him. So our freedom doesn't matter at all. And it actually does matter because being a pin
00:35:02.300
cushion for an experimental vaccine that may or may not kill you, we'll cut that, that is,
00:35:08.980
it's your human right not to be infringed upon like that. And it's a woman's human right to walk
00:35:14.580
around and have a job and show her head if she feels like she wants to do that. Yeah. We're born
00:35:20.340
free. We should be born free. Yeah. Within alienable rights. Yes. All humans on earth should be born free.
00:35:26.260
And that's not the way it is. And people forget that because we live in our little Western bubble and we
00:35:30.180
forget that women, all women in Africa suffer female genital mutilation. Like let's put it in
00:35:36.100
perspective, ladies. Yeah. Let's, let's just, let's look beyond our borders sometimes, you know,
00:35:41.200
I think it'll give you a nice little dose of perspective. Yeah. And also just like this article
00:35:45.560
talks about how putting sanctions on Iran actually only hurts the Iranian people more than it hurts
00:35:50.240
the regime because it causes inflation. I'm not an economist, so I'm not actually like,
00:35:54.300
this is salon.com. I don't know. I would like to have more research. Yeah. Yeah. To know exactly
00:36:01.700
how sanctions do economically affect a country. I'm not privy. I'm not exactly super comfortable
00:36:08.040
talking about that part of it, but that's what the article is about. And it kind of makes sense if
00:36:12.220
you make things harder to import into a country than things that are made domestically. Like when you
00:36:18.740
take away supply, uh, demand goes up and prices go up. So what we're seeing are in our own country.
00:36:24.000
So it makes sense with supply chain. Yes. Everything. Okay. All right, guys, let's move
00:36:29.140
on. That was fun. Let's talk about youth in Asia. No, I'm not talking about teens in the continent of
00:36:34.100
Asia. I'm talking about talking about Japanese teenagers. Yeah, no, no, not those guys, but God
00:36:39.760
bless you all. Yeah. Um, so this article is interesting, uh, is choosing death too easy in Canada. Okay.
00:36:46.220
Canada changed its assisted death law, permitting people with chronic conditions and physical
00:36:50.720
disabilities to commit suicide, even if they're not terminally ill. Um, and we're among 12 countries
00:36:56.260
in several American States where assisted death is permitted in certain circumstances. Um, interesting
00:37:02.360
though, that December through December of 2021, 31,664 Canadians have received assisted deaths. And of
00:37:10.840
those 224 who died last year were not terminally ill. And I think, um, they're, they're recently adding
00:37:19.300
a new law. They're pushing even further saying that you can have, um, it doesn't even have to be about
00:37:25.000
pain. Yeah. It can just be about having a mental disability feeling. Yeah. Basically, which is kind
00:37:30.040
of interesting because we talked about that climate guy who was applying for medically assisted suicide.
00:37:34.720
And now because he's scared of the environment, he might, he might be able to do this. Yeah.
00:37:39.260
Because he could say he's mentally ill because he might be. Yeah. Um, he probably, he definitely
00:37:43.520
has issues, but I don't think you need to die, buddy. Yeah. I think, I, I don't think that the
00:37:49.400
government should stop someone from dying if they want to die. And I do think, I think that if you want
00:37:54.480
to take your own life, doing it privately is like this person says in their interview, this woman who
00:38:01.240
is on the list, who's going to be, um, killed, killed. Yeah. Uh, she said some, I have it written
00:38:08.740
down, but I can't find it right now. Uh, she says something about how it's a lot more traumatic for
00:38:11.860
your family to find you having committed suicide than to be there in a, like a clinical situation
00:38:16.500
and having getting to say goodbye to you. It's still traumatic on them, but it's less traumatic.
00:38:21.820
And I w I would think that makes some sense. So I don't think that the government should stop
00:38:26.440
people from dying if they want to die. However, there are so many complications. I think it's
00:38:32.220
such a slippery slope though, because it went from, okay, you're terminally ill. Let's cut
00:38:36.140
the cord, you know, pull the plug or whatever. Now it's like mental illness. Okay. Now what's
00:38:40.360
next? They're going to lower the age because if kids are allowed to choose their gender and
00:38:43.800
mutilate their bodies, of course they should be allowed to get assist medically assisted suicide.
00:38:47.060
That's the thing. Like at what, at what age do you cut this off? Where do you draw the line?
00:38:51.380
Because what if a kid is, is a terminally ill? So then you make it so that children can, okay,
00:38:56.240
what if the kid is just mentally ill? Okay. Well, what if they just want to die because
00:38:59.360
of the climate? Like that is where there's, it's going to become, there's a lot of blurred
00:39:03.600
lines, I think. And it's going to, I don't, I just don't think, I don't know. I don't think
00:39:07.380
that doctors or the government should play God. And my biggest issue with this is, especially
00:39:11.900
on the mental disorder note, is that people can often work through mental disorders. Like
00:39:16.100
the last thing these people need is to be killed. They need the love and support of their
00:39:19.400
family. Maybe they need professional help. Like, I just think it's such a cop out for
00:39:24.000
people to not be able to at least try to work through some of these issues. But especially
00:39:28.840
in the case of the man that we talked about with the climate stuff, like he has a wife
00:39:33.640
and kids. Yeah. Like it's just so irresponsible. However, though, yes, it is. But so is, so
00:39:39.280
is suicide. So my theory is now you and I have to pay for it. Yes. However, however, they
00:39:46.660
might be taxing us more money by going through like attempts of self-harm and going to the
00:39:54.080
hospital and drinking alcohol and like be having, they could have more of a financial drain
00:39:58.680
on society alive. I'd rather that though. Maybe for sure. But like if someone's going
00:40:04.200
to want to kill themselves, my theory is that's already selfish. That's already a horrible thing
00:40:09.240
to do to your family. They're going to find a way to do it. And so if you do it in a,
00:40:13.720
it's just like those, those safe injection sites, like someone, you shouldn't do heroin,
00:40:18.820
but if you're going to do it, you should at least get clean heroin and have a doctor there
00:40:22.100
in case you have a heart attack. Safe injection sites have only incentivized
00:40:24.800
the issue more. And actually most people go to those injection sites and then they overdose
00:40:28.940
and then they leave and go die anyway. So it's like, I just don't, I just don't like it when
00:40:33.540
the government gets involved in these kinds of things. And I don't know, we're supposed to go to
00:40:37.500
the hospital to be cured and seek treatment. And I just think this is, ideally you, you seek
00:40:43.140
treatment and you, and you have your family. Like we need to gather around our friends and families
00:40:47.740
and especially as Christians, like if someone is suffering, like we need to help our brothers
00:40:51.360
and sisters feel loved and not want to die. But if that is not an option and they're so far gone
00:40:57.360
that they want to die, like hanging from the rafters is a lot more disturbing for your family.
00:41:00.940
Yeah. I don't, I don't think, I just don't think like we should devalue life at all. Like I just
00:41:07.120
think like we should try to fight for life to the end. And you know, I mean like we know that what
00:41:12.080
God says about people, um, first of all, Exodus 2013, you shall not murder. Psalm 139, 13, where
00:41:19.000
you formed my inward parts, you knit me together in my mother's room, womb. Matthew 6, 26, look at the
00:41:24.140
birds of the air. They neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns. And yet your heavenly father feeds
00:41:28.580
them. Are you not of more value than they like, there's just so like God values their life. Like
00:41:33.340
even if they're suffering. And I, I, I know it's easy for us to be like, kind of talk about this
00:41:38.300
because we're not experiencing what some of these people are going through. And, but like, for example,
00:41:42.800
one of these guys within a month, he submitted a request to be euthanized and was killed. And, uh,
00:41:49.460
his application for euthanasia listed only one health condition and it was hearing loss. And it's like,
00:41:54.080
I'm not trying to minimize that, but it's like, I think, I don't think that your life is over
00:41:58.220
because you lost your hearing. I'm sorry. And in that case, the family said he wasn't taking
00:42:02.280
medication for his mental illness. He wasn't using his hearing aid properly. Um, and they were
00:42:07.560
stopped from intervening in this at all. And they basically said like the, they just killed,
00:42:13.120
like the government just killed my family member, which they got, they were completely shut out of
00:42:18.720
the process altogether because he knows best, but it's like, well, he might not be mentally sound.
00:42:23.180
He can't serve trial. Right. Yeah. So why should he get to make that decision? That's where like,
00:42:28.300
I, on one side, I feel like it's a principle, almost like a libertarian principle. Like if I
00:42:33.140
want to die, I should get to die. And if I want to, if the government can help me make that less messy
00:42:36.900
and less dangerous than they should, but also there's, it, it comes with so many complications
00:42:43.220
that it's like, Ooh, it's a tough one. It's a tough one. Yeah. Especially cause this other article
00:42:48.280
goes on to say, Canadian patients are not required to have exhausted all treatment alternatives before
00:42:53.440
seeking euthanasia as in the case in Belgium and the Netherlands. And it's like, I think you should
00:42:57.820
have to, I think if we're going to say, okay, yes, this is a thing that our society accepts,
00:43:02.780
you should have to exhaust all the resources available to you because there are so many
00:43:07.040
resources available in Canada. It's going to say, especially in Canada, we're so privileged guys.
00:43:11.820
Like it's, so I just, I don't know. I think it's such a slippery slope. It'll be interesting to see
00:43:16.080
what, I mean, how this goes. I mean, I just, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know either.
00:43:22.780
I just think it's a slippery slope as is everything.
00:43:26.880
What do we do? I don't know. Just, it's a tough one. It's a tough one. It is really tough. Yeah.
00:43:33.240
Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of murderers. Yeah. Speaking of murder and mayhem.
00:43:38.240
Apparently they're sexy now, according to Hollywood. Yeah. Um, this article from Vice,
00:43:42.700
which I'm actually like based Vice, very based. Um, the Jeffrey Dahmer story stopped feeling
00:43:47.580
sorry for serial killers. Yes. Yes. We've talked about this before. We've literally talked about
00:43:52.740
this. Um, I forget what the context was, but. Probably the Texas shooting. Oh, it was the Texas
00:43:57.720
shooting. Let's not, we shouldn't be showing people's, the faces of serial killers. We shouldn't
00:44:03.560
be talking about their names. We should like, it's important for maybe like forensic students
00:44:09.880
to learn about crimes, but we don't need to glamorize them and make Netflix shows about
00:44:14.800
them and how it costs like cast hot actors to play them. Yeah. And now you have young people.
00:44:19.680
There was all these Twitter comments about how like, Oh, I wish I could have talked to him.
00:44:24.080
Oh, like he's just so lonely. That's why he did this. They're like Hollywood is romanticizing
00:44:29.180
murderers and it's causing people to sympathize with them, which is first of all, super disrespectful
00:44:34.160
to their victims. Gross. And also it's just, it's just, and I feel like it causes more murder.
00:44:39.940
It inspires more. It's like, we talked about this with the shooting because most of the time when
00:44:43.900
people commit these egregious acts, it's because they want to be, they want to be famous. They want
00:44:49.560
to live forever. Yeah. And how, what better way to be like, if you can't do it, like we've said this
00:44:54.220
before, if you can't do it through like being a good citizen and, or producing something and being
00:44:59.760
a businessman or a famous actor or whatever it is that you think is the tops, you're, you can do it
00:45:04.140
this way and you can just slaughter a bunch of people and now you're infamous forever. And that's
00:45:07.760
look, we, we should not have that in our society. No, we shouldn't. Just for those who don't know much
00:45:12.880
about the show, it's Netflix's latest series and it's a shiny Hollywood retelling of the gruesome
00:45:18.320
and vile serial murders Jeffrey Dahmer committed over a decade in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Just as a,
00:45:24.360
for those who don't know. I tried to watch 30, like I got 30 seconds into it because I like true
00:45:29.120
crime, which is, you know, messed up on its own. But, um, I was like, oh, instead of just watching
00:45:33.280
Star Trek and Seinfeld again and again and again, I'll watch something new. Everyone's talking about
00:45:36.880
it. And within the first 30 seconds, this guy's cleaning off a really bloody knife. And I was like,
00:45:42.160
you know what? I'm good. I'm good on that. And maybe I'm a prude. I'm not a prude though.
00:45:47.000
No, no. I, I think the, I find we've talked about this before, but I have seen Jurassic Park.
00:45:52.020
They just take it too far. A lot of times with the violence too. It's so realistic.
00:45:55.440
And then the glamorization. Yeah. Like, oh, he's cleaning off his knife. Like look at the blood
00:46:00.080
flowing in the sink. It's like that's somewhat that happened to someone and that was their blood.
00:46:04.740
Yeah. That was someone's child's blood. And I think it just speaks to how degenerate our society is
00:46:10.580
that we are in a place where we sympathize with these people and we make excuses for these people.
00:46:15.160
It's like, oh, he had a tough life. That's why he killed all these people. It's like,
00:46:18.300
I don't know. I, I do. I understand that people have rough.
00:46:21.160
For sure. No, it's, it's a fact that people, well, serial killers are often abused as children,
00:46:25.720
but you're, you're accountable for your actions. You must be held to account. Like, I'm sorry.
00:46:30.140
And instead of making movies, glamorizing like killers from the past, why don't we use the
00:46:35.440
resources that Hollywood has and focus on helping children today, not become serial killers in the future.
00:46:41.200
That'd be nice. Maybe some positive, like maybe some Christian stories to inspire faith and love
00:46:48.760
and humanity. I don't know. And it's funny, just really quickly on that, uh, Hollywood always
00:46:54.320
preaches about the importance of guns, gun laws and, you know, restricting access to firearms. And
00:46:59.240
yet they make violent, violent films like this who involve, which involve murder and like guns in
00:47:05.280
other instances. And it's like, you guys are hypocrites. Like don't be in these kinds of movies.
00:47:09.080
Then if you can't point fingers at everyone who's pro second amendment and then make these kinds of
00:47:14.180
films for money, like it just doesn't make sense to me. It does not. Anyway, it does not. Okay.
00:47:20.580
Hollywood sucks. Speaking of a murderer, Russia, um, I'm talking about you, Putin, uh, escaping Russia's
00:47:28.740
military draft is an act of self-defense. This article comes from the Mises Institute. Um, we're going to
00:47:34.420
rush through this because this episode is going long, but it's a great one. Um, but basically the
00:47:39.900
moral argument here by this author is that there are countries in, so the Russia has, um, started
00:47:47.300
enlisting people in a draft, young men specifically to fight in the war in Ukraine. Do we know the age?
00:47:53.420
I don't know. I don't know either. Anyway, I don't know. Young, probably 18. Um, now thousands and
00:47:59.480
thousands of young men are fleeing the country to avoid the draft and other European countries are
00:48:04.620
closing their borders to prevent an influx of refugees. Um, and they also think that they should
00:48:09.820
be held responsible for what Russia is doing. So this, um, author argues that it's a humanitarian
00:48:15.400
thing to allow people to dodge the draft. And I would agree with that. Yeah. I mean, I think if you
00:48:20.860
don't believe in the cause, you shouldn't have to fight for it. Exactly. Yeah. And I think if you
00:48:26.500
have to draft people to fight in a war that is so unpopular within your country that you don't have
00:48:31.460
enough soldiers to fight in it, maybe you shouldn't be fighting in that war. Yeah. Maybe it's time to
00:48:35.060
step, step it back a little bit. Um, and as a woman, we're safe from the draft. Yeah. As of now.
00:48:41.040
Another right that women have. Yeah. That men don't have. Heller. Yeah. Like when the ship starts
00:48:45.660
going down, they don't get to go in the lifeboat. And when the, they'll just start identifying.
00:48:49.060
Sirens of war. Yeah. As women now. Well, we saw that, didn't we? Well, we saw during the, at the beginning of, um,
00:48:55.100
the Russian invasion into the Ukraine, we saw a trans man. Woman. No, it was a trans man. Yes,
00:49:02.540
a trans man. It was a woman who identifies as a man. You're right. And she wanted to avoid
00:49:06.460
a potential draft in the future, which she was probably right to do, or he, whatever you want
00:49:10.880
to call her. Herm. Herm. So she, he started identifying back as a woman so that they could
00:49:15.600
escape Russia. Um, that's interesting. Nice. That's interesting. Very convenient. Very convenient.
00:49:21.100
Um, yeah, I would just say like conscription is terrifying and I'm, I would be absolutely
00:49:25.360
mortified if my husband had to go, not mortified, like horrified and terrified. And I would say
00:49:30.560
like, let's pack up our stuff in a bag and move to another country that is not going to
00:49:35.540
make you die for a stupid war that you don't care about. I also wonder though, I don't have
00:49:41.200
a strong opinion on this. I'm, I think I'm of the same mindset as, as you, but does it also
00:49:47.000
kind of speak to how men are kind of also weaker? And so they aren't really able to fight
00:49:54.180
in a war the same way, maybe in world war one and two, they would have been like, I'm going
00:49:59.100
to go fight for my country. Like the love of country just like, isn't like, I bet if you
00:50:03.220
asked Americans the same question, a lot of them would be like, no, I think it would depend
00:50:07.980
on the war. I think if your country was being invaded, you would say, Oh yeah. Like I want
00:50:12.980
to, I want my wife and child to be safe. I will volunteer, but it's like, Oh, we're
00:50:17.520
invading a country. Yeah. No, I don't know the answer. I just, I just wonder like if
00:50:22.800
that, no, but you're right. Like men it's yeah. They're not the men of our grandparents
00:50:27.480
generation. That's for dang sure. Anyway, I pray for these men who are forced to go
00:50:32.940
to a war. And let's hope that many of them can escape Russia. Okay. Yes. All right.
