Kara Dansky, a feminist, activist, and author of The Reckoning: How the Democrats and the Left Betrayed Women and Girls, sits down with Bridget to discuss her critique of gender identity politics and its impact on women's rights. Kara argues that the Democratic Party and left-wing activists have betrayed women by embracing gender identity ideology, which she sees as fundamentally misogynistic. They cover how this ideology undermines women's spaces, sports, and fundamental rights, why they wear the term TERF as a badge of honor, Biden’s statement that transgender discrimination was the civil rights issue of our time, male inmates in women's prisons, the erasure of biological sex, the professional consequences for speaking out, why so many women are actively championing a cause that is undermining women, the male billionaires funding the transgender movement, mainstream media’s complicity in silencing feminist critiques, and the grave consequences for our society if it continues to deny that sex is real.

1:18:43

Bridget sits down with Conn Carroll, author of Sex and the Citizen: How the Assault on Marriage Is Destroying Democracy , for a discussion about the history and purpose of marriage, why it's a fundamental part of what makes us human, monogamy vs. polygamy, how dating apps turn certain men into digital sultans, and how the decline of "I do" threatens everything from fertility rates to democracy itself. They cover ancient hunter-gatherer love stories, modern-day male purposelessness, porn and gambling addictions, why the government should be rolling back policies that disincentivize young people from getting married, why cohabitation instead of marriage leads to income inequalities, the magic of marriage in our communities and why it’s the glue holding society together.

Fellow brunch hater, Mary Katherine Ham, returns to discuss Trump’s win on the heels of debating whether or not she and Bridget would vote for him in the lead up to the election, and their respective “Awww, f*ck it” last minute decisions. They cover the true nature of RFK Jr.’s influence in swinging votes for Trump, why COVID lockdowns and policies were the last straw for many people, red-pilled yogis, when independent media starts to seem not so independent anymore, how Trump & Elon are taking a wrecking ball to the Overton window and the danger of the anti-woke people becoming as annoying as the woke people. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.

James Lindsay returns to the podcast for a fascinating conversation about the “woke right” which is essentially a resurrected version of the alt-right with a hipster twist. He and Bridget discuss the consequences of academia’s grievance culture spilling into society and the resulting self-censorship, how people felt freed by Trump’s election in realizing they weren’t alone, what to do when the mob comes for you, if there’s a way to escape post-modernism, the reality of the Russia/China bot problem on social media and the process by which they radicalize people. They also cover how an online movement can be pushed to extremism, the Christian Nationalist problem and what pastors are seeing on the ground in their churches, the resurgence of Antisemitism we’re seeing, how the distance between the virtual and the actual is getting smaller and smaller, ideological tyranny, Elon Musk, whether the West can be saved, and why we’re all fake news now.

E326. Touch Grass vs Transhuman: The Battle of the New Digital Age - Katherine Dee 1:26:18

1:26:18

Buckle up for a wild ride through the digital apocalypse with Katherine Dee, where influencers are dying, AI’s churning out slop, and Substack’s the artisanal Etsy of writing in a world drowning in fluff. From the collapse of legacy media to TikTok as "digital fentanyl," she’s got the scoop on how we’re all losing our humanity to screens—yet craving real connection so bad we’re anthropomorphizing our toasters. Touch grass or go transhuman? Hollywood’s fleeing LA, kids are Wild Westing online, and nobody beats Gen X when it comes to phone brain rot. It’s a postmodern nightmare where there’s no such thing as "too soon" in the face of memeing tragedy—dive in, because this future’s weirder than you think. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.

Professional poker player, physicist, and general badass, Liv Boeree, sits down with Bridget for a fascinating conversation about the mind games of poker, where intuition meets math, how game theory shapes everything from philanthropy to AI ethics, and the paradoxes of AI consciousness. They discuss being pathologically competitive, beating the boys at their own games, how everyone’s an egalitarian until they get the power, pig farmers, China, audience capture, the magic of Burning Man, playing to win vs. playing to play, and an outsider’s perspective on understanding how the American culture led to Trump.

Bridget sits down with Curtis Yarvin, political theorist and writer formerly known as Mencius Moldbug. They discuss the road that brought Curtis to this point, his debate with Ilya Shapiro, whether capitalism requires democracy, whether oligarchs are more concerned with the outcomes of power rather then power itself, the Arab Spring, debating “isms”, why he believes the most peaceful and stable form of government is the monarchy, the truth about revolutions, why he’s selective about his conspiracy theories, the Great No, the power of the executive branch, and why all Libs are basically conformists.

They dissect the progressive policies that caused addiction and homelessness to explode, the multitude of non-profits intended to address the problems that are actually just scams, why you need ex-junkies running recovery programs, the difference between being homeless and being "houseless," the critical need to prosecute crime, and the immediate action steps that must be taken if the problems are to be effectively addressed.

She and Bridget talk about how the university tried to silence the athletes, being unable to express discomfort or feelings of unfairness, being told that they are the ones with the problem, waiting for the adults in the room to step in, and making the difficult decision to speak up even when she knew the backlash she'd face would be brutal. They cover the pressure of group think, why all of this coming on the heels of Covid made it so much worse, teaching young women not to trust themselves, why this issue should not be a political one, the worry of being fired for her viewpoints, hearing from a lot of young women who are scared, how Paula's sexual assault red pilled her, and her work to enact policy change with the Independent Women's Forum. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.

This episode was originally published 2/29/24 Abigail Shrier returns to talk about her latest book Bad Therapy: Why The Kids Aren't Growing Up . She and Bridget discuss what led her to write the book, her initial premise, how it changed along the way, why kids today seem to be in a lot of psychological pain, the potential harms of too much therapy, the overuse of the word trauma, how talking about and focusing on your pain can make it worse, and how kids are being taught to make their pain an organizing principle of their lives. They cover how our blanket culture of therapy can feed on parents' insecurities and how they really need to take back their authority, what kids today are really anxious about, how being a parent means you have to do things that are uncomfortable but that are good for your kids, why a certain amount of repression is healthy, how important independence and risk taking is for children's development, over-medication and how numbing a kid to the ups and downs of life has a lot of consequences, why you should research your therapist the way you would a surgeon, and what you can do as a parent to counteract these issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.

E317. Thank God for Gen X - Drea de Matteo 1:18:39

12 weeks yang lalu1:18:39

1:18:39

Bridget sits down with Drea de Matteo, star of The Sopranos, to discuss her personal and political evolution, their mutual gratitude for being part of Gen X, how Drea never intended to become a political activist, how COVID and the lockdowns influenced her thinking and led her to start questioning her preconceptions about the Left and the Right, why it took her until the very last moment to come out in support for Trump, and why she did it even while recognizing that it could damage her ability to work in Hollywood again. They cover Drea’s decision to join OnlyFans to save her house, how her daughter’s political journey influenced her own, what Gen Z has been through and the lasting effect the pandemic had on them, the state of the entertainment industry and why art is dead if everyone is too afraid to take risks, addiction, self-discovery, and her commitment to maintaining authenticity despite industry pressures.

E316. Woke vs. Working Class: The Battle for America's Future - Patrick Ruffini 1:12:26

1:12:26

Bridget sits down with Patrick Ruffini, a Republican pollster and author of Party of the People: Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP . The book explores the transformative political landscape of recent American elections, challenging previous narratives about the Republican Party's demographics and highlighting a significant multi-racial shift in voter preferences, particularly noting how Donald Trump expanded Republican support among African American and Latino voters. Patrick and Bridget discuss what he got right about the 2024 election that everyone else missed, Gen Z's political realignment, suburban women's concerns, working-class voter migrations, the impact of COVID, identity politics agendas in schools, and gender identity debates. They cover the breakdown of traditional political paradigms, why 2020 was supposed to be a return to normal but was actually the opposite, why it felt okay to openly support Trump in this election, the yearning for strong leadership and stability, why Kamala wasn’t a good candidate, why it would have been a disaster for her to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and the key polling question that indicated the true direction America was leaning: “How are your neighbors are voting?” Please subscribe to the More Bridget Phetasy YouTube channel where we’ve moved Walk-Ins Welcome - https://www.youtube.com/@morebridgetphetasy Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.

E315. The Billionaires Behind the Gender Identity Movement - Kara Dansky 1:03:44

1:03:44

Kara Dansky, a feminist, activist, and author of The Reckoning: How the Democrats and the Left Betrayed Women and Girls , sits down with Bridget to discuss her critique of gender identity politics and its impact on women's rights. Kara argues that the Democratic Party and left-wing activists have betrayed women by embracing gender identity ideology, which she sees as fundamentally misogynistic. They cover how this ideology undermines women's spaces, sports, and fundamental rights, why they wear the term TERF as a badge of honor, Biden’s statement that transgender discrimination was the civil rights issue of our time, male inmates in women's prisons, the erasure of biological sex, the professional consequences for speaking out, why so many women are actively championing a cause that is undermining women, the male billionaires funding the transgender movement, mainstream media’s complicity in silencing feminist critiques, and the grave consequences for our society if it continues to deny that sex is real.
