the scuba story is insane!

I too like a nice slut and a bit of gossip

'...is he going to punch a fish..' had me laughing out loud

“sex or content” is the new “bread and spectacle”

prostoserdov.bsky.social•4 days ago

I enjoy this new book archetype of "All my crazy? Actually: regular"

tmaccattack.bsky.social•3 days ago

So glad you did this! It was excellent. 😃

joczker.bsky.social•4 days ago

Another episode so soon? You are really spoiling us! 🥰

spamps.bsky.social•4 days ago

now we're talking

sfossnes.bsky.social•3 days ago

I just want to say that this book was recommended to me by my *therapist*!

joshuatanzer.bsky.social•4 days ago

Honestly, I couldn’t do worse.

4beornot4be.bsky.social•2 days ago

Was this intended as the perfect companion piece to Of Boys and Men?

ooksbooks.bsky.social•4 days ago

I want my man to act like a semi feral chihuahua, yapping and biting people’s ankles every time I’m out of his line of sight for half an hour. That’s true masculinity.

Marjorie, blink twice if you need help.

digitalisnarcissus.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ooh this was a really fun one!
Apart from for the Mrs Harveys. Condolences to them.

suibeom.bsky.social•4 days ago

I love how many people only know Harvey from Family Feud, where his entire shtick is basically having a hard time interacting with normal well-adjusted people, and don't realize it's actually because of what a fucking weird retrograde creep he is.

mattbowyer.bsky.social•4 days ago

The joke that survived the cut absolutely killed

jotief.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can I humbly request Zero to One?

conover.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hot take: I like BOTH the shit-talking episodes AND the serious episodes

volatilesublime.bsky.social•4 days ago

i can't help but wonder if the "women don't have hobbies" bs is just awful straight men not wanting to expend the emotional energy to pay attention to their partner's interests

volatilesublime.bsky.social•4 days ago

like, i am forever reminded of the makeup influencer who told her boyfriend she wanted highlighter for her birthday; he bought her a pack of highlighter markers, and she acted like it was, like, just an adorable mishap

dumbledoresbussy.bsky.social•4 days ago

“We’re gonna cut that, that’s just for us” thanks for the treat

thisweekintony.bsky.social•3 days ago

Michael, there is no "parenthee". The singular is "parenthesis" and the plural is "parentheses". I know you love having this sort of thing explained to you in a shitty, pedantic manner. Your welcum.

mse1602.bsky.social•2 days ago

This book’s title was turned into numerous tumblr memes and shared widely by women on social media back in the 2010s. The “90 day rule” was also prevalent in dating advice to young women, from other women. Looking back, I can’t understand the chokehold this objectively bad advice had on everyone.

maggierish.bsky.social•4 days ago

I told my my bf what the new episode was about and he proceeded to tell me the entire plot of the 2012 Kevin Hart movie Think Like A Man

oh you beat melania with no summons? let me get the bucket

4beornot4be.bsky.social•2 days ago

As a person who read this before getting to that part in the episode and who does not play Elden Ring, you can imagine my disappointment when I realised that there is, in fact, no anecdote about a street brawl with the First Lady of the United States.

mrsmeowkins.bsky.social•3 days ago

I was working at a big bookstore when this came out and it was like men buying it for their daughters or women getting it for their single friends or relatives, one of the most depressing bestsellers

harry-is-human.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ok but which one? There's so many people in the griftosphere who fit that description.

tuckerdrake.bsky.social•4 days ago

I was worried you weren’t going to mention the infamous memo of his.

diana1997.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hi 💟 I'm sorry
I’m Diana. My family and I are facing very difficult circumstances in Gaza, and we need your help. Any donation, no matter how small, can make a big difference in our lives. If you can contribute or even share this message, I would be deeply grateful. Thank you tuck..

k0stra.bsky.social•4 days ago

Did Michael just make an Elden ring reference that went completely unanswered? Is Peter ok?

pluplubasch.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sluts unite!

Rip Michael forgot about the orgasam gap

katzfus.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's been awhile since I've watched the movie, but I'm pretty sure none of the couples really follow the rules of the book and they all find love. It's more showing how irrelevant the rules are, than that you gotta follow them exactly.

katzfus.bsky.social•4 days ago

Even the screenwriters couldn't make up a realistic way that following these rules would produce an attractive/entertaining relationship.

helenofwhat.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ooooh I worked at a bookstore when this came our and my mom made me buy it for her with my discount and I was so embarrassed lmao. I skimmed it and was like "wow, this is bad advice and I'm a college student with very little romantic experience" but also figured "this is for old folks"

eldaifo.bsky.social•4 days ago

This may well be the best one yet. I'm walking through the countryside getting funny looks from strangers because I'm laughing out loud.

kathrynzalewski.bsky.social•4 days ago

My favorite podcast, hands down!

samaranthine.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh my god i am so excited for this.

random-user-name.bsky.social•4 days ago

@notalawyer.bsky.social The girls and gays thank you for your service.

A woman and her new, rich, celebrity husband go on a scuba trip. She can’t believe how lucky she is, a real Cinderella! She goes beneath the waves, a mere 8 feet to the reefs head, that’s when the first body hits the water.

derelictmermaid.bsky.social•1 day ago

As the bodies continue to drop, her deep panic breaths use her oxygen faster and her 2 hours begin to dwindle. She’ll need to decide quickly if she wants to face whatever horror is waiting on the boat . . . . Or the increasing amount of sharks who sense

Thank you for the Who Moved My Cheese callback 👌🏻

sweatpants.bsky.social•4 days ago

I need everyone to listen to this so I can start saying "let me get the bucket"

iucounu.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yay

piscadork.bsky.social•4 days ago

I hate that my parents raised me to be a well regulated, respectful and supportive man even though the culture which suffuses my every waking moment wants me to be a Donkey Kong TNT barrel

dumbledoresbussy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not the Donkey Kong TNT barrel

calderwood.bsky.social•4 days ago

Cursed

centuriesofsound.bsky.social•3 days ago

Love the episode, but have to say that I do hate all shopping, due to (a) sensory overload of most shops (b) being a miser and (c) capitalism.

politarium.bsky.social•4 days ago

This sounds exactly like the dumb shit I need right now!

lawnguyland.bsky.social•4 days ago

I hope this email finds you well. Between my legs, you'll find...

kateysheppy.bsky.social•4 days ago

yayyy new episode cheers me up this morning 🥳

tfielding.bsky.social•4 days ago

Got it, I should obliterate my wife's first grade students for disrespecting her.

grahamdavison.bsky.social•4 days ago

As per my last email…

claytry.bsky.social•4 days ago

Excited for this one. I listened to your Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus takedown three times, it was so good. Thanks!

astacia.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's not downloading on PocketCasts

sleepysharky.bsky.social•3 days ago

Listened to this on a train ride today, and now i feel prepared to date the most horrifically emotionally stunted men in the world

edwardian-iggy.bsky.social•2 days ago

I love making fun... I mean, having deep concerns about whether the straights are ok or not. However, I have to ask: where are the toxic, dumb, self hating dating books for gay men? Don't tell me the gays for trump crowd missed that grift!

erinabecca.bsky.social•4 days ago

I had a coworker recommend this book to me many years ago. Can’t wait to see what I missed out on by not picking it up then!

thepurley.bsky.social•4 days ago

It won't surprise you to learn that what you missed was... misogyny.

helenofwhat.bsky.social•4 days ago

These recs are always awkward as soon as you realize you now know way too much about that person's personal life

jessicajernigan.bsky.social•2 days ago

It really is amazing how one errant book recommendation can make you TOTALY reevaluate your opinion of someone.

notalawyer.bsky.social•4 days ago

we recommend waiting 90 days before you listen to this episode

altie-a-alterson.bsky.social•4 days ago

Episode not even really posted.

If you try to download, it is just @michaelhobbes.bsky.social scolding you for failing the cucktest in his best hetero-voice.

toniprekker.com•4 days ago

But what about the podcast sluts? Aren't they the ones you WANT to listen?

davidandrews.bsky.social•3 days ago

When you said his advice was to assign your man menial tasks and @michaelhobbes.bsky.social didn’t make a joke about the shelf, I was a little sad that bit had been retired. So, I would like to point out that Steve - ‘the non-smoker’ - gave a painful interview about how much he loves too smoke:

kayofjohanna.bsky.social•4 days ago

Damn, listened to this episode before I even read this, like a moralless hussy

jenboyer.bsky.social•4 days ago

That's bookslut-shaming

sarcher.bsky.social•4 days ago

But Peter it’s all we have left

bquittman.bsky.social•4 days ago

…why?

jasonbrozek.bsky.social•4 days ago

This question has brought shame on your family

bquittman.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sorry, I knew I should have googled it first.

bristolmoggy.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm going to listen to it while scuba diving.

jasonbrozek.bsky.social•4 days ago

Paul I will literally punch my staff in the face I swear to god

raaatbird.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can’t believe he turned this gif into a whole ass book and called it dating advice ?

bighamsandwich.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is Peter or Mike the twice divorced sociopath, you don't clarify in the episode

breckod.bsky.social•4 days ago

We can determine the answer to this question if we find the answer to whether Peter ever put up the shelf.

frankgrimesiv.bsky.social•4 days ago

Can tell someone isn't a Patreon member. It turns out Peter decided to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a house with adequate shelving in order to avoid it.

thepurley.bsky.social•4 days ago

He did the smart thing and moved to New Jersey so that he could avoid the issue altogether.

sociomama.bsky.social•4 days ago

Shout out to the slut lovers and gossipy little bitches! 😍🙌
