Welcome everyone to another regularly scheduled rerun a couple of times a month.

0:04.0

I put out a classic episode of the show that I think is definitely still worth your time.

0:08.2

So I hope you check it out. But this gives me a little bit of extra time that I need to do some

0:14.2

work behind the scenes and gear up for the next slate of new episodes. But of course, if you're not

0:21.6

already a member, let me tell you what you're missing out on because while everyone gets the reruns,

0:26.8

members get brand new bonus content every time there is a rerun episode.

0:31.7

And so the most reason we have posted is a conversation that a man that I had about to be

ever shifting landscape of sexual harassment and assault allegations. And we went far beyond

0:45.2

perspectives on what to do with a bad apple you find in your barrel. One party seems, you know,

1:30.9

very anxious to get the bad apples out of their barrel while the other seems to approach this

1:36.7

subject with a lot less urgency. So, you know, that's a frustrating double standard. We also discuss

1:41.9

the benefit of consent education classes. So, so we try to cover a broad spectrum of things. But the

1:48.1

one that we dove in on, this piece of insight we think we have come across that was the most

1:53.9

hard fought based on multiple conversations. Amanda, I have had over the past weeks is a pretty

2:01.7

detailed, pretty thorough explanation of why some women get offended when they are asked out at work
