099 - 62 Million Hits, Zero Excuses


Listen Later

The big story: CNN recently exposed a global online "Rape Academy" operating through a site called Motherless - a platform hosting tens of thousands of videos of women being harassed, drugged, and assaulted, alongside boards where users openly share rape "tips." The story went viral when it was reported that 62 MILLION MEN visited the site - but that number isn't right. It was 62 million hits, not 62 million individual users. And Jimmy is deeply frustrated that instead of moving forward with how horrifying the actual problem is, the entire conversation has devolved into a misinformation fight between people who should be on the same side.

Jimmy and Alyssa dig into why accuracy matters - even for the left. Even when it's uncomfortable. They explore rape culture, coercion, consent education, STI disclosure, and why every man in America has at some point been taught something that could have made them a danger to someone. Alyssa brings her full sex educator energy and absolutely delivers on the most important parts of this conversation.

Also on this episode: Turning Point USA (or as Alyssa calls it, "Tee Pussay") couldn't fill a mid-sized arena for JD Vance and Trump, and then tried to blame it on "security threats" - until the Secret Service publicly said no such threat existed. Jimmy explains why JD Vance could NEVER do what Trump does and why the cult factor is the whole ballgame.

The CDC is on its FOURTH director since last summer. Jimmy roasts RFK Jr.'s qualifications (being jacked is not a medical degree, people). Alyssa clocks that RFK looks like "a hot dog." Dave Chappelle is seemingly trying to distance himself from the right wing's weaponization of his trans jokes - and Jimmy has a hot take about whether we should give him space to grow. Plus: Pete Hegseth quoted Pulp Fiction as the Bible, good fake Bible verses from the live chat, Taylor Swift discourse, Gen Z not calling their senators, Elon Musk's baby mama exposing MAGA influencer operations, and the Sinclair Group's local news script problem.

Oh, and Jimmy shows the live audience a massive mystery bruise that might be "a gay nation's flag" on his arm.
