Summary

Today, we’re reflecting on this week's episode in which we interviewed OnlyFans creator Lily Phillips, who is best known for sleeping with 101 men in a day.

The episode had a huge response - so we’ve decided to take some time today to address some of the comments we received when it was released on Monday.

If you haven't heard the episode yet - you can find it here

Were we right to give Lily a platform? Did we question her hard enough? Are women who interview Lily held to a higher standard than men who interview her? We have a lot of thoughts - and we don’t know all the right answers. But we hope this chat helps illuminate you on our thought process behind the interview - and why we believe it’s important to have these conversations in a kind, safe space.

We love you guys for listening - if you have something else you’d like to add - we’d love to hear from you. You can email us on [email protected]

1:27.0	Well, we weathered the storm. Did we? It feels like, you know, it feels like, you know, when you see, like, television reports of, like, an area that's been, like, completely annihilated by a tornado. And it's like, everybody's, like, coming out from their houses, being like, whoa, are you okay? Like, checking their bodies, checking, like, that the roof still on. That's what it felt like coming into the studio this morning.
1:45.9	It did, didn't it? Yeah, you said that we've still got a studio. It's easy to feel like it's all just going to be swept away, though. I met a girl just before we came in here who was like, that episode was controversial, wasn't it? I was like, oh, God. Wasn't it just?
