  • Huge fan here

    I could listen to Matt all day long, partly because of his voice and also because I learn so much from him. The Matt Aubrey episode is epic, overflowing with stuff I didn’t know but long suspected. You know who is a giant a**hole? Dr. Phil! And here are a hundred reasons why, plus more if you want them. Matt, thank you for being a shining star in the podcast world, I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Dr. Phil: From Nice Guy to Nazi (with Aubrey Gordon)
Q: How do you feel about Dr. Phil? What has his impact on your life been?
Aubrey reflects on her introduction to Dr. Phil through Oprah and discusses the 'tough love' persona he embodies, questioning its effectiveness in sensitive situations.
Sydney Sweeney and the Outrage Machine
Q: What about Sydney Sweeney do you think makes everyone act crazy?
The public's fixation on her seems almost obsessive, reminiscent of past celebrity obsessions.
The Trans Teen Imprisoned for Refusing to Join the IDF
Q: So how do you feel about going to prison?
I'm pretty nervous. Jail sounds not particularly fun. Since I'm trans, I'll be probably put in isolation, and it's really been on my mind twenty-four seven.
A Morning With Vivian Wilson, Elon’s Estranged Daughter
Q: What do you want people to know from you, like the person, not you, the symbol?
What I want people to know about me is under the insane amount of random cultural references that I make and all this obnoxiousness, I'm just a human being with a soul.
The Detransitioner Panic
Q: What do you want anyone listening who this might be a new conversation for to know?
Gender joy can thrive at any stage, whether that's trans joy or detrans joy, and we need trans healthcare.
