Why is there so much sex at the Winter Olympics?
Hi, and welcome into the last show. We are going to have a lot of fun tonight, and you're going to learn a few things. Here is some of what we'll cover. There are those that think of dating like a marketplace. They rate a jawline. They check an income. They swipe left and right like they're trading stocks. Halfway through the hour, we'll ask, what if love isn't capitalism? And what if looking at things that way and over-optimizing leads to loneliness? Then after that, the former president of the U.S., Barack Obama, said he believes aliens exist on a podcast recently. Now, before you get too excited, he's clarified it all and says he just thinks it's probable. But when he said aliens are real, the Internet went wild.
Conspiracy theories started spreading around. What does Obama know? And we'll tell you all about that towards the end of the hour. That's just some of our lineup. There will be more. You will learn more. But let's start with the sexy Winter Olympics.
What are the implications of viewing dating as a marketplace?

The Olympics. Are they a time for some of the world's best athletes to compete in the sports that they've been training so hard at? Or are they a time for people to get nasty? The Olympics or the O-O-Olympics. There's a lot of sex stuff going on out there. And honestly, I'm not surprised. I'm joined by media personality, Caitlin Green.
What conspiracy theories emerged from Obama's alien comments?
You can hear her on the Jan Arden podcast. Caitlin, first of all, welcome in. Second of all, sex at the Olympics?
This is a story. This is a headline every single year. And it's because of the condoms that they give out in the Olympic Village. And it's a lot of, think about it this way, very young, very fit people who are, you know, potentially wearing some version of a unitard or less. And I think that it kind of makes sense that they would all be like hooking up in their dorms.
You can't say unitard on the radio.
How does AI impact mental health and productivity?
Look, think about it. It's young people, beautiful people, people at top peak physical fitness. They got all, you know, and they work so hard all year. Finally, they're done their sport and they're just in a village with other like-minded people whose singular focus in life is their sport. All of a sudden, they've got the free time. All of a sudden, the event that they've been training for for four years is over. What do you think they're going to do in the Olympic Village?
Yeah, this happens all the time and it's happening right now in Milan. And the organizing committee had to release a statement saying that condom supplies in the Olympic Village were temporarily depleted due to higher than anticipated demand. And they said they would be constantly replenished until the end of the games.
What should you consider when breaking up with your therapist?
So for context, during the opening ceremony, they distributed 10,000 condoms and the athletes had used them all that first weekend.
They use them in five minutes. It's funny that they know that there's a high demand and yet still they exceeded that high demand, exceeds expectations. It's so funny to me that the Olympic Village is just like a wild party after it. But if you're sports on the last day, that must suck for you because I feel like they don't party until they're done their event.
Yeah, I think that's probably true. And also like, then there are always the athletes who like would avoid sexual activity before a competition or some people who would want to have sexual activity before a competition. Like people, some athletes have talked openly about feeling like it actually affects their outcome and their performance.
Oh boy.
So, but I also wanted to note that I think this has something to do with the rabid hunt for merch amongst young people because the condoms were wrapped with the Milan Cortina Olympic logo.
How is childhood inactivity linked to depression?
So I actually think that if 10,000 condoms were quote unquote used, that 5,000 of those would have been kept just as a souvenir.
