Gen X women are doing it, and doing it quite well. Having a bit of this sexual rediscovery later and finding that everything still works, sometimes much to their surprise, that desire is still there, that, you know, sexual function is still there. Is there a middle-age sexual renaissance afoot? And should 50-somethings be crediting 20-somethings for it? That's this week on Explain It To Me. New episodes every Sunday morning, wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Neil A. Patel, editor-in-chief of The Verge, and Decoder is my show about big ideas and other problems. We're in your feed twice a week. On Mondays, we have interviews with some of the most influential names in tech and business, taking a deep look at how high-profile leaders make decisions and navigate our uncertain future.
And on Thursdays, we bring you analysis of big ideas and breaking news, looking at how tech has reshaped the whole world and how all of it fits together. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Jessica Tarlow.
I'm Tim Miller.
Tim, this is the banter section. How are you?
Hey, banter. I'm just happy to be in here for Scott. You know, I think that I'm going to be a downgrade in certain manners and upgrade in hair. You know, we'll see what the people think.
We will see what the people think. I think they'll be excited to see you. They were super excited when you joined us, but we were together, all three of us.
It was fun. It's good. I mean, I'd rather be raging with you guys than... Maybe you have a view on this. I think not raging with the Dems on the Hill. I'm not feeling a ton of raging. Yeah, snoozing.
Democratic snoozing.
Yeah, I'd rather be raging with the moderates than snoozing with the progs.
I mean, this is heavy for the banter section. Oh, sorry. No, no, no. I'm good with it.
You want to talk about Mardi Gras instead?
It's difficult times. No, I don't want to talk about... I mean, if you want to talk about Mardi Gras and hiding in your house, we could do that. Do you really think that they're snoozing or we're not paying attention?
It's a good question. I think that they are doing a lot of stuff that people who read Hill newsletters and who know a lot about what's happening in the federal government don't. I think they are seeing Democrats. I think that anyone who's a casual observer of politics is seeing only Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Travis and Taylor. I think that's like the material that they're getting. And so I don't know if they're snoozing so much as they're not yelling. And I feel like they could probably benefit from some yelling that resonates outside of
I think resonant yelling is the trick for that one because I have seen some yelling and I have hated it.
The singing. The singing.
Singing, yelling.
I'm open to singing in the right kind of context, you know? I'm open to singing and chants, but, you know, maybe we could work on the language of the chants a little bit.
Yeah, we're getting lapped by the YMCA. So you got to think about that.
We've given, the gays gave away YMCA.
Well, you don't even want it back, right?
I know, I made it official. It was a long, it was not a, you know, it was not a battle in the culture war we expected. But it was a battle that was thrust upon us. And I think for a moment during the Biden era, we felt like we'd taken YMCA back. from the Magas. And unfortunately, I think that is one L we just have to take. It's over now, and the village people and YMCA, despite the fact that that is a song about cruising in gay gyms, the Magas have taken it from us, and I don't think we're ever going to get it back. It's unfortunate. I don't think you're going to hear a lot of YMCA at Gay Pride this year.
No, probably not.
Abracadabra by Lady Gaga instead. I think you'll be hearing a lot of Abracadabra.
It's a pretty good upgrade.
I think so.
Did you watch any of the SNL 50 stuff?
I was in and out. I was watching White Lotus and I was, you know, podcast prepping. So I caught a little bit of it. I really liked a couple of the Eddie Murphy segments. Eddie Murphy being Tracy Morgan was hilarious. Eddie Murphy doing some borderline inappropriate prison rape jokes with Will Ferrell in like one of the very last segments. I also really liked. Those are my big takeaways.
