Welcome to a debate edition of the whatever podcast. We're coming to you live from Santa Barbara, California. I'm your host and moderator, Brian Atlas. A few quick announcements before the show

begins. This podcast is viewer-supported. Heavy YouTube demonetization. So please consider donating

through Streamlabs instead of super chatting as YouTube takes a brutal, brutal 30% cut.

Streamlabs.com slash whatever link is in the description. We do prioritize messages

that are made via stream

labs to read a message is $99 and up and we're going to read those in batches at various breaks

throughout the debate there's not going to be instantaneous TTS but there will be these breaks

now if you want to just tip and have 100% of your contribution go towards us no platform fees

no cut.

You can via Venmo or cash app. It's whatever pod on both. Link is in the description. We're also live on Twitch right now. Pull up another tab. Go to twitch.tv slash whatever. Drop us. Say follow

in a prime sub. If you have one, we have merch, shop.whatever.com. And we also have Discord.

Discord.org.g. slash whatever. Without further ado,

I'm going to introduce the two debaters. I'm joined today by Andrew Wilson, host of the Crucible.

He's a blood sports debater and political commentator. Also joining us today is Oliver Nehouse.

He's about to graduate from Oberlin College. He is triple majoring in political science, philosophy, and legal studies. He plans to

attend law school after graduation. He is a political commentator and content creator. The topic

today is feminism. You will each have a five-minute

opening statement. Then the rest of the show will just be open conversation with prompt,

excuse me, no prompt changes, but there will be breaks for messages from the audience.

Andrew, you're going to open first, so go ahead. Well, first, thank you again to the whatever podcast audience for having me.

I always appreciate that.

And, of course, it's through you guys' donation.
