| 0:00.0 | Hi, it's Saturday. It's the Saturday show, and we bring you the best of the week or the best |
| 0:08.0 | of the vault. A little kind of close to each on this one, because you probably heard on the show, |
| 0:14.0 | I was talking and publicizing my debate with an organization called Open to Debate on the |
| 0:20.2 | subject, is masculinity a prison? |
| 0:22.9 | I even gave you a discount code so that you could come to watch me at the comedy seller. |
| 0:26.5 | Anyway, this week, they aired that, or it was actually over last weekend, they aired that on a lot |
| 0:33.6 | of NPR stations, what they do, the Open to Debate People. Great organization. They cut it down to a manageable hour. I think the real thing went maybe an hour 20. So that's an incentive to always go to the live event. You get more. And what I'm going to do on this show is take that hour and cut out some of the middle parts. But I thought the opening was strong. I think the closing was strong. It was all strong throughout, but I'm perhaps saving you some time, perhaps further incentivizing you to go and |
| 1:00.0 | engage with the source material. My debating partner or my debating rival was Lux Alpdram, |
| 1:08.0 | who is a very nice person, who I've done some stuff with before, and she's of the |
| 1:13.5 | belief that masculinity is indeed a prison. I took the con side, and just like many prisoners, |
| 1:20.7 | I think calling them cons afterwards is stigmatizing. So this is my point. If there's no other |
| 1:25.8 | takeaway, it's that. Please enjoy. |
| 1:28.7 | Is masculinity a prison pro, lux alptrum, con Mike Pescott. |
| 1:42.2 | Cooler temperatures are rolling in. And as always, Quince is where I'm turning for fall |
| 1:47.5 | staples that actually last. |
| 1:49.2 | From cashmere to denims to boots, the quality holds up, and the price still blows me away. |
| 1:53.8 | In fact, the price is so low, it's shocking. |
| 1:57.2 | But it's also super soft in the case of their cashmere sweaters, 100% Mongolian |
| 2:03.9 | cashmere sweaters starting at, brace yourself $60 and the denim fits right. |
| 2:10.5 | And the question that maybe you ask is what makes it different? |
| 2:15.0 | Well, they partner directly with good ethical factories, skip the middleman. |
| 2:20.1 | You know, this really, it's a little bit of a cliche, but it does kind of work. |
