In this episode, Kristen and Erika unpack — gestures broadly — everything happening in the world — before ultimately discussing the new Netflix docuseries ‘The Man With 1000 Kids’ — which primarily tells the story of Jonathan Meijer, a Dutch sperm donor accused of fathering somewhere between 500 and 3,000 children via sperm donation, and defrauding vulnerable families in the Netherlands and around the world. Tune in to hear our thoughts on the documentary and much more!

By popular demand, this episode will cover everything you need to know about Project 2025. If you’re unfamiliar, many are calling Project 2025 a “dystopian right-wing blueprint to overhaul America,” under the assumption that former President and convicted felon Donald Trump is elected to a second term as president. We’ll discuss abortion, women’s rights, and why it matters for you. Most importantly, we’ll talk about what you can do to make sure this insanity doesn’t make it to the White House.

If you’re a Millennial or Gen Z, there’s a good chance you were raised on shows from Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. By now, you’ve probably heard about the documentary ‘Quiet on Set’ which covers the untold story of the abusive environment inside '90s kids' television. So, as two people who love pop culture and aren’t having kids because the planet is awful, we have to talk about it.

“Trad wife” is the new buzzword in pop culture — and we can’t seem to escape it, no matter how hard we try. While it might seem harmless and dumb on the surface, trad wife culture is deeply rooted in pronatalism. If you’re not familiar with the term, pronatalism is the policy or practice of promoting childbirth or encouraging people to have children. Today, pronatalism & pronatalist policies are on the rise all around us — from ads on television to the decisions from the Supreme Court. So, today we’re giving you an introductory lesson on pronatalism — the origins, the consequences, and what we can do about it.
