Summary
If you thought women’s beauty standards were unrealistic before, just wait until you find out about AI porn. Not only do these girlies have cartoonish curves, the faces of young teens, and impossibly long hair… they also have eight fingers on each hand! In this finale episode, Hannah and Maia discuss AI porn, the ways it infringes on bodily autonomy, and its commitment to rendering women’s oldest profession obsolete. You’d think we’d have flying cars by this point, but instead we’re jerking off to the face of Minnie Mouse algorithmically stitched onto Lana Rhoades. Perhaps humanity is more simple that we thought. Tangents include: Maia’s “reply guy” voice, r/doppelbangher, and Hannah fumbling about 15 different analogies.

| 0:00.0 | I think the word honesty has been really widely misunderstood. I have no tolerance for it anymore. |
| 0:06.6 | It's kind of like the equivalent of being like, no offense, but you're ugly. You know what I mean? |
| 0:11.2 | And it's like, well, you actually meant offense and that offended me. And it's when people, |
| 0:15.8 | men especially are like, I'm being honest, like I'm being transparent. And then they come out with something that |
| 0:21.5 | you're like, whoa, that didn't need to exit your mouse. You didn't need to tell me that. You didn't need to |
| 0:26.1 | say it. You didn't need to think it, really. And you did. And now you feel like a really good person |

| 0:40.8 | information that is not necessary for the other party. The reason people do that is not because |
| 0:45.7 | they're trying to be malicious and evil. It's because they're trying to like soften a blow. |
| 0:49.5 | Like, there's a reason that that's the common practice. So it's like, why are we trying to switch up |
| 0:53.9 | the game here? It's okay we trying to switch up the game |
| 0:54.3 | here? It's okay to lie to people for the sake of their feelings. I don't want to know sometimes. |
| 1:01.1 | Yeah, I truly, and I think it's something specifically in men that I've noticed over the years. |
| 1:06.2 | It's just like when they go to therapy and they took therapy and they were like, hey, like the Jonah |
| 1:09.8 | Hill situation, just using therapy speak to then turn it around and be like as selfish and shitty as possible. |
| 1:15.4 | And it's like, that's not the purpose of therapy. |
| 1:17.3 | Like, just get one thing right. |
| 1:18.7 | And I think the way that they use the language of honesty and transparency is just very, like, |
| 1:24.0 | self-serving. |
| 1:25.0 | Well, I just think that there's benefits to more people going to therapy, |
| 1:28.7 | but I think that at times it lends a lot of people to validate their feelings and emotions |
| 1:36.7 | to the extent that they're not actually accounting for other people's emotions, really, |
