Episode 351: Walz to Walz

·1 hr 45 min·5 clips

A Tumblr user claims having a vagina with elevated testosterone makes you a man, kicking off a wild hormone debate.

The episode begins with John and Henry reading an absurd Tumblr post about gender and testosterone, setting a satirical tone. They critique misconceptions about estrogen and testosterone, mocking the 'right-wing wellness sphere.' Henry jokes about being a contender for Kamala Harris's VP pick, leading to a fictional conversation with his campaign manager, Jersey. The hosts shift to the Paris Olympics, with Henry expressing his love for the event and praising NBC's streaming coverage on Peacock. They highlight specific Olympic stories: Kristen Faulkner's surprising gold in women's road cycling after being a late addition to the team, and Yusuf Dikeç, a 51-year-old Turkish shooter who won silver with minimal equipment. The discussion turns to political satire, analyzing the 'Trump is old and weird' messaging strategy and the selection of Tim Walz as Harris's VP. They critique J.D. Vance and cover RFK Jr.'s bizarre story about dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park. The episode also addresses the controversy around Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who was falsely accused of being transgender after beating a Russian boxer, examining how gender essentialism and online conspiracies spread. Throughout, the hosts blend humor with commentary on current events, maintaining an unprofessional, conversational style.
