 Summary: In one of the most unexpected combos yet, Jesus and Rudy discuss Russia’s real plans to clone ancient Scythian warriors—and the psychological and cultural weirdness behind foot fetishes. This one blends ancient warfare with modern kink like only DvE can.

 Key Talking Points:

• Russia's proposal to clone ancient warriors

• The Scythians: who they were and how they fought

• Can nature and nurture explain kink?

Contextual Deep Dive:

• In 2020, Russian scientists announced plans

to use DNA from Scythian warrior graves to attempt cloning (source: Siberian

Times).

• The Scythians were nomadic warriors from Central Asia, feared for their horse archery and burial rituals.

• Foot fetishes are one of the most common fetishes; some neuroscientists link it to the brain’s sensory map where feet and genitals are oddly close.

• Psychology suggests early experiences,

taboo associations, and cultural exposure play big roles in fetish formation.

Listener Prompts:

• Would cloning ancient warriors be ethical—or dangerous?

• What do common fetishes say about human psychology?
