Anthony
So I tweeted out this thing over the weekend, this long thread about the sexual revolution that I found was really interesting and a lot of the responses were fantastic. And I thought, well that sparks a conversation we should do on the air. And then became aware of the perfect story to lead us into that.
Maddie
Yeah, this young British woman, she's an only fans performer, Lily Phillips, she's 23 years old, from an intact home, middle class English, but she's a porn on only fans performer and decided to have sex with 100 men in one day as some sort of clickbait publicity stunt thing. And documentary filmmaker decided to make a documentary about the before, during and after.
Anthony
You go any further, I'm wondering what people like, people who haven't heard this already, what their initial reaction to that was. Is there anybody listening whose initial reaction was anywhere in the realm of that's hot or were was practically everybody's initial reaction like physical revulsion? I get physical revulsion from hearing that. Not only do I not have a ooh, that sounds hot, it kind of makes me sick to my stomach to think about it.
Maddie
Yeah, it's physically disgusting on several different levels, including the fact that the body is not meant to take that the female form specifically. And secondly, I think there's a soul deep revulsion to any person being exploited in that way, including by herself. That's a damaged, sad soul.
Anthony
Well, who are the guys that participated in it and enjoyed it enough?
Maddie
Yeah, yeah, I, I don't know the logistics of it, honestly. Well, in a lot of the documentaries about how she realized she had to remove, remove her mind and her soul from her body during this experience. And that was disturbing and discouraging and saddening and sickening and blah blah, blah. But now, you know, the bizarre and truly horrifying postscript is she's announced that she's going to have sex with a thousand guys in a day as her next stunt.
Anthony
It's interesting that her immediate reaction at the end of the day of having sex with 100 dudes was tearful. And I've seen the promo physically, obviously, emotionally, physically shaken. I mean she was disturbed.
Maddie
Yes.
Anthony
By what had happened. And I saw one reviewer say that this documentary is the best anti porn documentary unintentionally you could possibly make.
Maddie
Yeah, I believe that. Yeah, I, there are serious psychological issues going on there. It's terrible.
Anthony
Right. And does it mean anything more or not about our culture or anything? Or is it just a one off stupid stunt? We can discuss that. But it, but it leads into this pretty good. I came across this and retweeted it. Like I said, I thought it was interesting. This guy. Thinker, writer, person. The sexual revolution was a disaster 60 years ago. They tried to redefine sexuality to liberate mankind using finger quotes. Everything they said was a lie. Yet their lies have ruined millions of lives. Here's the worst lie of the sexual revolution that is still plaguing society today. The sexual revolution became prominent in the 1960s on the service or I. In practice, however, it sought something sinister. Societal destruction. It sounds crazy at first, but let's meet one of the movement's leaders. Do you know if her name's Kate Millet or Millet or. I don't know. M I L L E T T. Kate Millett was a leading figure of the sexual revolution. Time magazine called her the Karl Marx of the women's movement. Like, that's a good thing.
Maddie
That's an odd compliment.
Anthony
The thesis of her work was the family is a den of slavery, with the man is the bourgeoisie and the woman and children is the proletariat. Here she is on the COVID of Time magazine back in the 60s. I'm looking at it right here.
Maddie
Well, they got the Marx part right. Yeah, that's part of Marxism. She was just turned her attention to that aspect of it.
Anthony
Millett said casual sex would free women from the slavery of marriage. There you go. The fact that she thinks marriage is slavery is all you need to know about her. In reality, however, Millet wasn't after liberation. Like any Marxist, she wanted one thing. Societal destruction. Her sister Mallory shared a chilling story explaining Millet's true agenda. Mallory recalled attending a feminist meeting with Millet in 1969. The meeting began with a disturbing chant which she called the Litany of Evil. It explained the core beliefs of Millet and her group. Here's the chance, as written in the book the Anti Mary, which is all about this woman, why are we here today? The chairwoman asked. To make the revolution, they answered. What kind of revolution? She replied. The cultural revolution, they chanted. And how do we make the cultural revolution? She demanded. By destroying. Destroying the American family. How do we destroy the family? By destroying the American patriarch. How do we destroy the American patriarch? By taking away his power. How do we do that? By destroying. By destroying monogamy. They shouted, and everybody cheered. How do we destroy monogamy? By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution, abortion, and homosexuality. And here we find the great lie of the sexual revolution. Push promiscuity to destroy the family. But how does promiscuity destroy the family? And this is where it got really interesting to me. It breaks the bonds of marriage, destroys trust, and sows division between the sexes. Casual sex is dehumanizing. Other people's bodies become the means for selfish pleasure. People degrade one another, themselves and their souls. A society that celebrates promiscuity is a dying society. To idolize sex is to destroy trust, friendship and family. In short, all civilizations live and die by their families. What then does healthy sexuality look like? Sexuality reaches peak virtue when it's expressed in marriage and is procreative. Why? It orients your sexuality to love instead of lust. It becomes a force of charity that builds loving families. Monogamy is about giving everything to a person you love most. You don't lose freedom, you flourish in virtue. Procreation, meanwhile, teaches you to love your children more than yourself. Families become the force of charitable love. They're the bedrock of a healthy society. The takeaway, above all, offer grace. Who've fallen victim to the lies of the sexual revolution? This person wrote beyond that, reject the lies of casual sex. Lust drives you to ruin, but love offers an endless exaltation of virtue. One of the interesting things I thought about all that is he at no point got into the religion part, that those who are such proponents of, you know, free sex and sleeping around, everything like that always point to people that are against that as some sort of religious stick in the muds. Wackadoos. He didn't have to go there.
Maddie
Fundamentalists.
Anthony
I mean, there is no denying that the sexual revolution tracks perfectly with the breakdown of the American family and endless divorces and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Maddie
Yeah, yeah. What's interesting to me, and I'm reminded of the old saying, the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing mankind he doesn't exist. The extent to which the Marxists of the world pitch various policies, whether we're talking about what we were just talking about, and I had professors, at least one, who, as just kind of a casual throwaway, as part of one of our discussions, I think it was a philosophy class, explained that the family is actually an institution of oppression and evil, and society will only be free when the nuclear family is torn apart. And I was sitting there as a Midwestern kid from a happy, intact family thinking, the hell are you talking about? Free to do what? Well, see, well, that's my ultimate point, though, which I'm working my way toward, is that whether it's that or the Alvin Braggs of the world and the Cheso Bodines the progressive prosecutors who are, and George Gascon's who are pitching that we need this criminal justice reform to bring social justice to the streets and we cannot prosecute our way out of the things we see. As if anybody thinks you can. Again, getting back to the devil, convincing us he doesn't exist. What percentage of the population understands that these people make these moral arguments for these policies and the people. But the real activists don't mean a word of it now. They're useful idiots on the college campuses. They've bought the moral arguments and they think they're sincere and so they pitch them to humanity. But at the core of it, it's not because they think these policies will help our society, it's that they think it will tear it apart. They want to bring on collapse and chaos because in that chaos, this is straight out of March, it's amazing nobody knows this. Out of that chaos they take control and institute communism.
Anthony
Well, how about this? How much do you think the sexual revolution plays a part in the breakdown of the American family? As this person just laid out, do.
Maddie
You agree with very, very large?
Anthony
Yeah, I agree very, very large, if not like practically all of it. Who won? Who won in that? I mean, who. I mean I can understand how if you're a 22 year old guy, you might think that's a win. Maybe a 22 year old woman, you might think that's a win. But long term really did it.
Maddie
Yeah, there a lot of my favorite thinkers agree that the transitory feeling of freedom and the enjoyment of promiscuity among women was very, very short lived. And among the vast majorities of women, they realized, oh, being convinced that I can have sex just like a promiscuous guy is great was a lie. It just enabled them to be used by more guys. And you know, I don't, I don't judge you folks. You do whatever you think is right, whatever you feel and you choose your own life path and I wish you well. But there, there's just no questioning this. And we're old enough to have seen several of these cycles. All change is not progress. There are things that catch hold and everybody is doing them, everybody's talking about them. It's a huge trend in this society that turn out to be terrible, practically disastrous. Just because everybody's doing it doesn't mean it's a good idea. Far from it.
Anthony
Yeah, that's really interesting. Do you think there's any putting the genie back in the bottle on that sort of thing outside of like a cataclysmic you know, Great Depression, World War sort of thing?
Maddie
Probably not. I mean, in spite of these big societal waves we've been talking about, people still have the capacity to make their own judgments and craft their own lives. I suspect that among people who see it more the way we see it, it'll be fine. But, no, I think you're right to have a serious change back to a more traditional view of sexuality and sex and marriage and that sort of thing. Yeah, it would take some huge, huge societal change.
Anthony
I just. I'm surprised there's not more. Like, just looking at the results and thinking, okay, are we better off here than we were before? And if you think so, explain to me in what way? Yeah, you have more sexual partners by the end of your life. How's that a win, necessarily?
Maddie
Yeah. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. It's tough because people just. They're living their lives. They're. They're surrounded by a hundred different inputs and swirling, you know, currents of this, that, and the other. And it's tough for them to really nail down one particular aspect of life like this and say, okay, that change has had a bad result. It's just all too confusing, I think.
Anthony
Well, I don't think what this one is that confusing. I think it's a fairly straight line from sexual revolution through the family coming apart. And the explanation there of the, you know, sowing the seeds of distrust and lying and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all that sort of stuff. That's just horrible, horrible, horrible.
Maddie
Add to that the richest government on earth declaring to women all over the country, you don't have to be married to a man anymore. You can be married to the government.
Anthony
Awesome. Any thoughts on that? We got a lot of replies on Twitter, but mostly aren't on Twitter. What do you think? You could text or email. I mean, we might have some in mailbag tomorrow. Or you could text now. 415295, KFTC.

You can choose four free phones and get four lines for $90 a month from US Cellular. Your family wants new phones? How do we know? They told us. The good news is that compared to wrapping presents, you're great at getting hints. So take the hint and get them four free phones and four lines for $90 a month. US Cellular built for us.
Anthony
All right, we gotta decide whether we wanna hear this or not. So we've got the audio of that OnlyFans chicken who had sex with 100 guys in one day. And if you were listening to the previous segment, we are not celebrating this sort of thing at all. We're using it. An example of the breakdown of, I don't know, society. Well, I don't even know. I don't even think it's morals. I think it's practicality. Just the practicality of having a happy life.
Maddie
A lot of morals. That's what they are.
Anthony
Sure. Yeah, true.
Maddie
Yeah, yeah.
Anthony
But. But they're always looked at wrong. They're looked at as like a. Because God said it, you have to do it. What kind of weirdo would believe that? No, it's going to give you a better life, is the reason.
Maddie
Yeah, it's because it's been tried 5 million times, living a life, and we've figured out the best ways to do it.
Anthony
Anyway, back to our question. We've got audio of this woman describing what it was like. Do we want to hear from her?
Maddie
Yeah, yeah. Why not? Yeah, I've heard it before. It's. It's interesting. Go ahead, Michael. First one.
Katie
It's not for the weak girls. If I'm honest. It was hard. I don't know if I'd recommend it.
Maddie
Why not?
Katie
I think if you're a different type of girl, it's very like. It's kind of like being a. In a sense of like. It's just a different feeling. I don't know how to explain it. Like.
Anthony
Like it's not like just having with someone.
Katie
Yeah, yeah. Just one in, one out. Like it feels intense.
Anthony
I'm sure.
Maddie
Like more intense than you thought it might.
Katie
Definitely.
Maddie
Sorry. Okay.
Anthony
And then she starts crying. Isn't that nice?
Maddie
Yeah. Get to the next one, Michael.
Katie
I think that was kind of the hard part is like competing with that.
Maddie
This is. This is irrelevant. Stop it. This has to do with. More generally with her onlyfans career and just constantly providing satisfactory content for subscribers. But in other clips that I've heard she talks about, she can't remember the faces of most of the men.
Anthony
Well, of course not. 100 in a day. How could you?
Maddie
And I quote from the Free Press. At first she pretends she's upset because she feels badly that some men haven't been satisfied despite traveling a long way and supporting her. But soon what appears to be the real truth beyond her grief is revealed. Quote, I think it was like feeling so robotic. I've got this routine of how we were going to do this and like sometimes you're just disassociate and it's like not normal. And in other words, she was describing separating her body from her soul. And as this writer points out, the way she describes her experience is virtually indistinguishable from the symptoms of rape trauma syndrome, mood swings, disassociation, self blame, guilt, and sometimes hypersexuality.
Anthony
And then she'll be dealing with a lot of these feelings the rest of her life. And she's only 23.
Maddie
Yeah, yeah. And this, this writer, it's very good. Gets into various sex workers of various ages in various parts of the world. The whole I have to deaden my soul to get through it.
Anthony
You know, someday you might want to meet a nice guy and get married and have kids and this has made it quite a bit more difficult. Oof. Again, did anybody react to that whole story as that's hot. I don't think anybody did.
Maddie

So we were talking about this only fans star who had sex with 100 guys in a day and they made a documentary about it and it's disgusting. And then we rolled into this Twitter thread that I came across over the weekend about the sexual revolution and how it was a lie and it destroyed American families and it made women less happy. And maybe you agree with that, maybe you don't. Katie, you want to weigh in on any of this before we get to some texts?
Maddie
This whole story makes me sick. I'm sorry, it's just listening to that.
Katie
Clip of her talking about what about the aftermath.
Maddie
She sounded like a rape victim. And it just. This is gonna. This is.
Katie
She's 23 years old, right?
Maddie
She's got her whole life and she. I just feel very bad for this girl.
Anthony
She's pretty financially successful. I think she got $2 million for this and she has like five employees or something like that, lives in London.
Maddie
Five full time employees.
Anthony
So she's.
Katie
But, but like Is that $2 million?
Anthony
No, I wasn't trying to justify it. I just, just throwing that in. A couple of texts we got about this whole topic, this one, I'm afraid she's going to kill herself in the future. I hope not, but that wouldn't shock me. As she gets older it's going to become more clear on just on the idea of the sexual revolution was a, was a lie and nobody benefited. Got this text I thought was interesting. Born in San Francisco. I lived this period, writes this person and I think I know who they are. Even then I thought something was off about it. And now alone, without children and a bunch of cats and I can say what a crocodile. Interesting.
Maddie
Yeah.
Anthony
From a dude's side of this female. Absolute and relative happiness has gone down since the feminism and sexual libertine culture of the 60s. Women complained, got their way and made themselves less happy. Guess who they're going to blame for their lack of happiness? Most divorced men can tell you. Haha, writes this person.
Maddie
Wow. Well, well, enjoy that. Laughing last. I'm just reminded of the unified, the Joe Getty Unified Theory of Civilizations. That, and there's so many examples of it, it's almost tedious that we veer from one guardrail to the other. Never have any idea when we hit the sweet spot and keep going until we've gone way and created a disaster. Then we veer back toward the other guardrail. Another example of this, you know, crime policy. Back and forth, back. There are too many people in prison. We're too hard on crime. Well, there's too much crime in the streets. We need to be harder on crime. And it just goes back and forth. Sexuality, I think is similar. There are a handful of other fairly obvious examples.
Anthony
But on the left side of politics, I don't feel like the left appreciates, appreciates culture at all. And the role that plays in society. That doesn't seem to be a concern ever.
Maddie
No, I think in general on the left, including you know, moderate lefty people that we could work with, that would be fine. We can talk about policy and come to a happy conclusion. There is in general much less regard for the importance of culture. I would agree completely. And on your outer left, and I'm not talking about 5%, I'm talking about like 25% of the left, they hate the culture and want to destroy it. Back to my theme. A lot of the Neo Marxist stuff. They pitch it to you as a way to improve society. They are fully cognizant of the fact that it will not do anything but destroy society. That is their goal. They've written books. Their names are on the spine. This is not my fantasy. They will tell you proudly that this is their goal.
Anthony
Does that bother anybody on the left that the champion of the sexual revolution was out to destroy the American family? Because I thought that would be better for. I mean, I know some of you agree with that, but not most of you, right?
Maddie
Anyway, yeah, I just. I will always be amazed till my dying day how few people take the radical left at their word. They have told you precisely what they're doing. And people like me are considered, I don't know, paranoid or whatever. It's not paranoid at all.
Anthony
It's really religious wacko. We need some really good transition music. Michael, do you need maybe even two different songs, perhaps?
Maddie
I got several of them for you. One in each year. We'll do it in stereo. Go ahead.
Anthony
That's.
Maddie
Oh, classic. Speaking of Marxist.
Anthony
Love that too.
Maddie
Who doesn't? You know, the. The lady along with her cats in San Francisco reminded me where cat sitting. My daughter's two cats.
Anthony
Your cat sitting. I think that's good.
Maddie
Michael, please make the communist warbler go away. Michael, have you no sense of when enough is why am I yelling in?
Anthony
Michael, Your cat sitting, you say?
Maddie
Yes, indeed. My daughter has two absolutely delightful cats. They are kind of adolescent age. They haven't quite mellowed out into super chill cats. Lay on top of the sofa and just look at you. They still want to play a lot and stuff, so they're, they're, they're a lot of fun.
Anthony
Do they pee on things? That's always my concern if I'm watching anybody.
Maddie
No, no, no, no, no. They're very, very well litter boxy trained. Naturally, the cats do that. Naturally. Really? Unless they have some sort of problem. But they've been delightful. They're a lot of fun, they're so sweet. And I'm not allergic to them by some miracle. But Judy and I have agreed that like last evening, I walk the dog, I run up, I play with the cats because they need some interaction, stuff like that. I go downstairs and I feed the dog. Then I take a shower and then I blah, blah, blah. I gotta go deal with the cats because Judy was out. And then I go out to the garage and this frog or toad or something's jumping around. I'm like, I'm living. I'm Dr. Doolittle over here. But it's a lot of work. It's a lot of responsibility having two more beasts in the house. Poor Baxter is so old, and I don't know if he's hard of hearing or whatever. They don't meow upstairs because they're restricted to one upstairs bedroom. And they meow and we look at Pastor and he's like, what? What are you looking at me for? So he's totally unaware.
Anthony
I'm a pet fan in general, but Jesus, I don't know. The pet thing is just. It's. It's beyond where it was 30 years ago, 20 years ago. It's just. And yes. Can you afford it? Do you have time for it? Does your lifestyle allow for this and the traveling with the pets? While I was staying in a hotel over Thanksgiving, nice hotel that allows dogs. And most of the people I saw having their dogs in the hotel, they looked miserable. Trying to deal with it.
Maddie
Stressed out.
Anthony
Stressed out. And I saw mom and dad trying to get the dog out of the room with the kids. And you hold that. You hold the dog. I'll bring them. It's like, is this fun for anybody having the dog with you on this trip, or would have been just fine to have the dog at home or not have a dog.
Maddie
You talk about facets of modern life. I don't get. I love dogs. I love my dog, but he's not coming on any damn trip. Sorry. He's not coming to the store with me.
Anthony
I've talked to my son about this. I said, you gotta get this early in the relationship. I mean, are they dog rides in the truck with you wherever you go, person sleeps in the bed with you, person goes to the restaurant or not? And are you. Because he's a. No way. And because that's. That's. That can be a deal breaker because one of you has to give on something that's obviously very important to you.
Maddie
Right.
Anthony
I hate animals in the car. I hate it. Absolutely.
Maddie
Oh, really? I don't. I don't mind that for some reason, but I just. The logistics of trying to do things and tend to a dog, I don't. Katie, what side of this are you on? Are you. The dog goes everywhere. Personally.
Katie
Oh, my dog has a car seat.
Anthony
Sure. That's absolutely fine. But I don't want to do it.
Maddie
Yeah. He actually went to a restaurant with us and was very well behaved. It was amazing. Cool.
Anthony
It's fantastic. I just. I don't want to do it.
Maddie
Miss. Now. I don't. On what it's not on.
Anthony
Something else to worry about.
Maddie
Yeah, it's funny.
Anthony
Your best friend. You do have the situation though, where you have said on the air that you are working toward a family and so you got the whole nesting thing going. That, that, that's. That's different.
Maddie
Yeah, a little baby crazy.
Anthony
Yeah, exactly.
Maddie
He's got sweaters and stuff.
Anthony
That's what, that's what.
Maddie
Oh, Lord. Yeah. My daughter and the cats. Please. It's. It's so clearly rehearsing. Oh, really?
Anthony
But yeah, that's awesome. I think that's natural. Sure. Right.
Maddie
Quick question for Katie. When you took the dog to the restaurant, did you guys order him a meal?
Katie
I did order him a plain beef patty and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
Maddie
All right, so we're dealing with a nut job here, folks. You sweet, but kind of nutty.
Anthony
Do you take him through the drive through at Starbucks where they have. What do they call them? Puppets?
Maddie
No, no, I have not done that. Yeah, you're. Well, you don't love them then, I guess.
Katie
Oh, wow. God.
Anthony
I was watching that family fight their dog at the, at the, at the hotel, trying to get the kids and the dog and all the stuff, and I thought, that freaking looks miserable. Yeah, they look miserable.
Maddie
Mine's £12, so I can just pick them up. That's easy.
Anthony
That is a difference. I've always been a big dog person. Joe and I have talked about this over the years. I've always liked big dogs. Always had big dogs. Then Henry wanted to pug. We got a pug. There's something awful handy about the tiny little dog you just pick up here. Come here. Setting you over here for now.
Maddie
Oh, yeah, yeah. And housing and feeding and cleaning up after a 75 pound dog as well. It's many multiples of the little fellow. Although I did lose that bet against a chihuahua owner. But either you heard about that or you didn't. You know, on the other end of the lifespan, Katie, do various people who may or may not be like, rehearsing parenthood? When Delaney left the house, it was when she, you know, went off to college. It was a couple of years after our dog Onyx had died, who's a black lab too. And I was so disoriented by not having another beast to care for, I. We got a dog. And I, whoever you are, I should remember your name. Some emailer wrote, joe, are you out of your friggin mind? You finally got an empty nest. You got all this freedom and you got a big dog. What's the matter with you. And he was right on one level. Although Baxter is my buddy and I love him, but yeah, this time. And Judy has put her foot down and it's fine. I need some sort of dad detox program so I can just get used to it's just the two of us and I'm not caring for another beast who needs my attention.
Anthony
It does free you up a lot when you don't have a pet first. Man, let's go here or there or whatever.
Maddie
But you know, as some listeners know, I had a minor child under my roof for 25 consecutive years. And that's not. It's not easy to transition out of that life. It's not effortless.
Anthony
I can't even imagine. I will have to imagine in about 10 years, eight years, I guess. We will finish strong next Armstrong and Getty.
Maddie

Have we played Mariah Carey? That is the most popular Christmas song of all time. They claim we should have that on rotation of trite Christmas songs. Donald Trump.
Maddie
You want to hear that trollop over the great Andy Williams? Get your own show, buddy. Not in my something or other.
Anthony
Trump did a press conference today, very long. Took lots of questions. Here's one of them.
Maddie
I think the two things happening. We're seeing these leaks every day. You know, Facebook's coming on board and other companies are coming on board. Plus the rallying cry around Pete. I think Trump is as tough as ever right now.
Anthony
This does not sound like a question and answer of Donald Trump at his press conference.
Maddie
Sorry I hit the wrong one here.
Anthony
Okay, here we go.
Maddie
Any questions for Howard, by the way? Commerce?
Anthony
Sure, I'll ask Mr. Incoming Secretary, do you see another trade deal with China coming?
Maddie
I think the President. Yeah. Oh, it's easy for me. You're sitting next to me, so it's okay. Now the President has very clear agenda for tariffs and I think Rep. Reciprocity is something that is going to.
Anthony
Be a key topic for us. How you treat us is how you.
Maddie
Should expect to be treated.
Anthony
Would you like to weigh in, sir, on that? It so well, reciprocal. If they tax us, we tax them the same amount they tax us.
Maddie
Forgetting this for a second about the.
Anthony
Word they tax us.
Maddie
We tax them and they tax us.
Anthony
Almost in all cases they're taxing us and we haven't been taxing. So I mentioned there was a guest essay in the New York Times from some Think tank dude, that thought Trump's got this right on China in a position to, like, really devastate them and to our favor. Michael McFaul, former ambassador, tweeted this out yesterday. U.S. stocks now make up 65% of the global equity market, the highest in history. 11 times bigger than the second largest country, which is Japan. China is equal with Canada.
Maddie
Right. Where do you want to bet your own money on the future? The US Of A is where, well, the vast majority of mankind says for damn good reason. And back to that Trump Lutnick press conference. That, that sounds like a very annoying, a very banal thing to say. They tax us, we tax them the same. That's a revolutionary break from the last 40 years of policy toward China, where business, America, and the business of America is business. Still said, look, it is such a vast freaking market. Yes, they're screwing us. Yes, they're cheating us. But A, they're kind of a third world country and they need a hand up. And B, we're going to make so much damn money. Who cares if their subsidies to their industries and their tariffs are utterly unfair and uneven with ours? Let's just put up with it and make money. Well, Trump is saying quite correctly, in my opinion. Opinion. We've let that go long enough. Now there's going to be reciprocity. It's going to be an even playing field. China, you still want to play.
Anthony
Going to be interesting to see how this works out. But as I just pointed out, with those stats and many others, we have a lot of leverage.
Maddie
I love it, love it, love it. Especially when you consider that a lot of countries around the world are feeling the way Jack you're always feeling. Hey, why is there all this cheap Chinese crap on all of our shelves? And we don't manufacture anything anymore. Our textile industries have gone away. Just everybody's buying Chinese crap that they're dumping in our market. Enough.
Anthony
I'm inspired every single day by the remarkable work that Jack and Joe perform on behalf of the American public. They've got a busy day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and so on. They have carefully prepared for these final thoughts. And the fact of the matter is, they have final thoughts, and they have.
Maddie
Them every single day.
Anthony
That is remarkable how good that is. Here's your host for Final Thoughts, Joe Getty.
Maddie
It's disturbing. Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things up for the day. Michelangelo, lead us off. Gotta take another crack at the Christmas slice. Still haven't quite gotten them right every time I Look up there. Ah, they're still crooked, so gotta get them right. Yeah, it's the spirit that's the most important, important. Michael. Kel, Katie Green, our esteemed newswoman, has a final thought. Katie, Maybe I'll bring this up on the One More Thing podcast, cuz I'm.
Katie
Not proud of it, but I did.
Maddie
My first bang bang yes on Saturday.
Anthony
Back to back meals of a different kind. What were they?
Katie
McDonald's and Domino's.
Maddie
Nice. Bang bang basic. But you know what? Well done, Jack. A final thought for us.
Anthony
I've got. I've got to find the joy. I was running errands all weekend long, running around in the lines and the parking and the. And I just. I was. I was surly and I just could not find the Christmas joy. I've got to work on that over the next week and a half.
Maddie
My final thought is. Heavy, heavy. Friends, bend at the waist slightly. Use your legs, not your back. If you're looking for a happy life, go with ancient wisdom over momentary trends.
Anthony
Good one, Armstrong and Yeti wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.

Episode Summary: "Get Your Own Show, Buddy!"
Armstrong & Getty On Demand
Host: Maddie, Anthony, and Katie
Release Date: December 16, 2024
Duration: Approximately 48 minutes
In the episode titled "Get Your Own Show, Buddy!", hosts Maddie, Anthony, and Katie delve into a critical examination of contemporary societal norms, focusing primarily on the repercussions of the sexual revolution and modern sexual behaviors exemplified by online platforms like OnlyFans.
The discussion opens with the harrowing story of Lily Phillips, a 23-year-old OnlyFans performer from England, who undertook a controversial publicity stunt by engaging in sexual activities with 100 men in a single day. This event was meticulously documented, revealing the profound personal and psychological toll it exacted on her.
Quote Highlight:
Anthony [03:09]: "This long thread about the sexual revolution that I found was really interesting and a lot of the responses were fantastic. And I thought, well that sparks a conversation we should do on the air."
Maddie and Anthony express deep concern over Lily Phillips' emotional state post-stunt. They describe her as experiencing severe psychological distress, likening her symptoms to those of rape trauma syndrome, including dissociation, self-blame, and guilt.
Notable Quote:
Maddie [05:24]: "She was describing separating her body from her soul. And as this writer points out, the way she describes her experience is virtually indistinguishable from the symptoms of rape trauma syndrome."
This segment underscores the severe mental health implications of extreme sexual exploitation, even when self-initiated for publicity.
The hosts pivot to a broader critique of the sexual revolution, arguing that its promises of liberation have instead led to societal decay, particularly the breakdown of the traditional family structure. They reference a Twitter thread that posits the sexual revolution as a "disaster" that has left lasting negative impacts on American society.
Key Points:
Kate Millett's Influence:
Millett is portrayed as a pivotal figure whose Marxist views aimed to dismantle the American family under the guise of liberation.
Cultural Revolution Goals:
The movement sought to eradicate monogamy and traditional family roles, promoting promiscuity, abortion, and homosexuality as tools for societal destruction.
Quote Highlight:
Anthony [07:22]: "Millett said casual sex would free women from the slavery of marriage. There you go. The fact that she thinks marriage is slavery is all you need to know about her."
Maddie and Anthony discuss the tangible effects of these cultural shifts, emphasizing the correlation between the sexual revolution and the rise in divorce rates, diminished family bonds, and increased societal distrust.
Notable Insights:
The normalization of casual sex has led to the dehumanization of relationships, eroding trust and weakening the foundational structures of society.
They argue that monogamous, procreative relationships foster charity, love, and societal stability, contrasting sharply with the transient and often tumultuous nature of casual sexual engagements.
Quote Highlight:
Maddie [09:45]: "Sexuality reaches peak virtue when it's expressed in marriage and is procreative. Why? It orients your sexuality to love instead of lust."
The conversation shifts to contemporary policies influenced by Marxist ideology, suggesting that current left-leaning movements continue the agenda of societal disruption initiated during the sexual revolution. The hosts express skepticism about the sincerity of progressive policies, positing that they may inadvertently or deliberately lead to further societal breakdown.
Key Points:
Policy Impact:
Modern policies on criminal justice reform and social justice are viewed as ineffective or even counterproductive measures rooted in Marxist thought.
Cultural Destruction:
There is a belief that cultural policies championed by the left aim to destabilize traditional societal norms to pave the way for ideological control.
Quote Highlight:
Maddie [28:32]: "They pitch promiscuity to destroy the family. But how does promiscuity destroy the family? It breaks the bonds of marriage, destroys trust, and sows division between the sexes."
The hosts deliberate on whether the outcomes of the sexual revolution have led to genuine progress or whether they have instead resulted in diminished personal and societal happiness, especially among women who feel exploited by the very freedoms that were promised to them.
Notable Insights:
The apparent short-lived gratification from sexual freedom has given way to increased vulnerability and exploitation.
The episode posits that the erosion of traditional family values has left individuals, particularly women, less happy and more isolated.
Quote Highlight:
Maddie [13:58]: "Far from it. Practically disastrous. Just because everybody's doing it doesn't mean it's a good idea."
Anthony challenges the notion of irreversible societal change, questioning whether it’s possible to reverse the damage wrought by decades of cultural shifts without significant upheaval. Maddie responds optimistically about individual agency but acknowledges the monumental task of reinstating traditional values.
Key Points:
Reversing societal trends would likely require substantial, possibly catastrophic, changes.
There remains hope that individuals can make conscious choices to reinforce stable, traditional relationships and family structures.
Quote Highlight:
Anthony [14:10]: "Do you think there's any putting the genie back in the bottle on that sort of thing outside of like a cataclysmic Great Depression, World War sort of thing?"
The hosts share and react to listener messages that reflect skepticism and concerns about the long-term impacts of the sexual revolution and progressive cultural policies. They express empathy for individuals grappling with these issues and reinforce their stance against the degradation of societal norms.
Notable Interaction:
Listeners express fears of future self-harm and dissatisfaction stemming from the breakdown of traditional relationships.
The hosts reaffirm their belief in the importance of upholding ancient wisdom and traditional values to foster a happier, more stable society.
Quote Highlight:
Maddie [26:10]: "This whole story makes me sick. I'm sorry, it's just listening to that."
In their closing remarks, Maddie, Anthony, and Katie reiterate the episode’s core messages about the dangers of unchecked cultural and societal experimentation. They advocate for a return to traditional values as a means to restore societal harmony and personal fulfillment.
Final Quote:
Maddie [45:25]: "If you're looking for a happy life, go with ancient wisdom over momentary trends."
Critical Examination of the Sexual Revolution:
The episode presents a staunch critique of the sexual revolution, arguing that it has led to the erosion of traditional family structures and personal happiness.
Psychological Impact of Online Exploitation:
Through the case of Lily Phillips, the discussion highlights the severe mental health consequences of extreme sexual exploitation facilitated by platforms like OnlyFans.
Marxist Influence on Modern Policies:
The hosts contend that contemporary progressive policies are influenced by Marxist ideologies aimed at societal destabilization.
Advocacy for Traditional Values:
A recurring theme is the promotion of traditional, monogamous relationships as the foundation for a stable and compassionate society.
Anthony [04:17]: "I get physical revulsion from hearing that. Not only do I not have a ooh, that sounds hot, it kind of makes me sick to my stomach to think about it."
Maddie [05:24]: "She's describing separating her body from her soul. And as this writer points out, the way she describes her experience is virtually indistinguishable from the symptoms of rape trauma syndrome."
Anthony [07:22]: "Millett said casual sex would free women from the slavery of marriage. There you go. The fact that she thinks marriage is slavery is all you need to know about her."
Maddie [09:45]: "Sexuality reaches peak virtue when it's expressed in marriage and is procreative. Why? It orients your sexuality to love instead of lust."
Maddie [13:58]: "Far from it. Practically disastrous. Just because everybody's doing it doesn't mean it's a good idea."
Maddie [28:32]: "They pitch promiscuity to destroy the family. But how does promiscuity destroy the family? It breaks the bonds of marriage, destroys trust, and sows division between the sexes."
Maddie [45:25]: "If you're looking for a happy life, go with ancient wisdom over momentary trends."
"Get Your Own Show, Buddy!" presents a provocative analysis of the lasting impacts of the sexual revolution and modern sexual dynamics, urging listeners to reconsider the value of traditional family structures and monogamous relationships. Through compelling discussions and poignant case studies, the hosts advocate for a societal reintegration of time-honored values to restore personal and collective well-being.
