Featured In

Geoffrey Miller is an evolutionary psychologist, Associate Professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico and an author.

Geoffrey has been writing about sexual selection and dating dynamics for over 30 years. His work has provided the foundation which much of the modern Red Pill, Pink Pill and Manosphere dating advice has been based on. I wanted to find out how much of this guidance is accurate and how much has been lost in translation.

Expect to learn how evolutionary psychology can help marriages to be much happier, what Geoffrey thinks about the modern Manosphere, my hypothesis around the game theory of slut shaming, the fundamentals that everyone needs to know about how sexual selection works, how women can hack their own hypergamy, why me and Geoffrey are going to dedicate our lives to existential risk and much more...

Bridget Phetasy is a comedian, writer and a podcast host.

When California isn't on fire it's having Amazon trains looted and stores robbed without prosecution. Bridget and her new baby bump has managed to survive, but aside from the dangers of LA, what dangers does the culture hold for men's and women's roles in modern society?

Expect to learn whether Bridget looks back on her 20's and 30's differently now she's a mother, her thoughts on slut shaming, whether we need to have an opinion on everything, why American homeless people are so scary, why motherhood is so uncelebrated in modern culture, whether there's such a thing as too much freedom from norms for men & women and much more...

Joe Rogan & Spotify's Censorship Battle - Coleman Hughes - #433

February 10, 2022

•

81m

Coleman Hughes is a writer, rapper, political commentator and a podcaster.

Joe Rogan has been in the eye of the storm over the last few weeks. I wanted Coleman to help me work out why the mainstream media has such a target on his back and whether this is going to be the standard operating procedure for anyone who gets this big again in future.

Expect to learn why a coordinated conspiracy is less likely than jealous opportunism, what Coleman Hughes thinks about black people being protected from the N word, why taking Joe Rogan Experience clips out of context doesn't work when you've done 2000 episodes, whether Spotify should have responded the way they did and much more...
