Welcome to the Double X Gab Fest for Thursday, October 19th, the Wire with Wigs edition.

I'm Hannah Rosen, a host of Ben Pearson, and Disavilia.

And in the New York studios, we have June Thomas, managing producer of Slate Podcasts.

Hi, June.

Hey, Hannah.

And Noreen Malone of New York Magazine. Hi, Noreen. Hi, Hannah. So before we get started, I will say last week's segment, we got a lot of response for our Slate Plus segment. I'm sorry for those of you who didn't hear it about dating men your own age.

And I would say that the most common response we got was that I can't date men my own age because they're immature. That came up a lot. I was surprised by that. I'm not. Yeah, I guess not. I mean, we discussed that on the segment, but it did seem people were like, uh-uh, not going to do it.

We also got some interesting responses from gay people who said, wow, that was strange.

Didn't know what, like, that was almost like a sociological or anthropological case study that is a culture I don't know much about.

One guy was like June, I admired your patience with the straight people.

That was great.

Anyway, so let's jump into our show.

We are going to talk about Harvey Weinstein because how could we not tremendous fallout from that situation?

Second, the Deuce, the HBO show about 42nd Street, prostitution, early days of porn,

and finally, ageism and our cultural prejudice against it.

And for a Slate Plus topic, June, do you want to say what we're talking about?

Sure, in our slip.

All the sexy witches, all the sexy witches out there.

Pay attention.

Pay attention.
