How are you feeling going into today's recording, Reese?
Cause I didn't think I was stressed about it.
And then out of nowhere, I broke out in literal hives this morning.
Oh no.
Do you think it's fear of the incels?
Like, what do you think?
Well, and I mean, we'll get into this in our conversation, but I feel like there was once a time in recent history, five years ago, when someone would bring up the word incel.
And what came to mind was immediately just like a loser with a rat tail in his mom's basement spending like 14 hours a day on 4chan.
And that was very threatening, but it's someone who
I could like, I guess, psychologically easily dismiss.
And I didn't actually fear them coming for me.
Like my fear of them was more abstract.
But now, especially with JD Vance in office, I feel like incel means more than that.
The term has become more diffuse and the culture has become more widespread.
So I feel like there are dudes who might not even identify as incels.
And even women who might not even identify as w incels, but have adopted that mode of behavior and that perspective of the world.
And I guess I am a little afraid in a very real way of those people.
Yeah.
And the consequences are so extreme.
Like, did you watch Adolescence on Netflix?
