Good Monday Morning Girlboss! - It Was All a LARP Episode

·36 min·3 clips
Wrapped in a sleeping bag, the host confesses he hates Aaron for his perfect South Dakota house and hopes he dies of syphilis.
The episode opens with the host expressing intense jealousy over his friend Aaron's house in South Dakota. He then transitions to critiquing a Time Magazine article about women leaving the workforce, citing Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing 212,000 women aged 20+ left since January, compared to 44,000 men entering. The host notes women's labor force participation peaked around 2000 at 60.5% and has been on a general decline, despite feminist narratives. He links the recent drop to companies revoking remote work flexibility in 2025, citing policies from Trump, Amazon, JP Morgan, and AT&T. The host defends remote work as beneficial for women and families but mocks Time's framing of women as victims. He attacks economist Misty Heggeness's analysis, questioning her credibility and photoshopping. The host argues many female careers are 'make work bullshit' jobs created by government programs or corporate DEI initiatives, estimating 40-50% are not worthwhile. He criticizes taxpayer-funded child care, calling it enslaving others to raise children parents can't afford. The host blames women's financial struggles on voting for the welfare state and majoring in 'dumb shit'. He promotes his book 'A World Without Men', which analyzes an all-female economy. In the Q&A segment, a listener suggests women's productivity dropped remotely because they lost 'work husbands' who did their work, which the host entertains skeptically.

As heard by us

A profane workforce rant turns child care, GDP, and gendered productivity into a blunt argument about what work counts.

The episode starts in a sleeping bag at Aaron's backwoods South Dakota place, then pivots into a Time Magazine item about women leaving the workforce.
