086 - A GoFundMe, a Ranch, and 2.4 Million Reasons to Side-Eye Celebrities

Jimmy and Alyssa are back for Episode 86 of “The Line Has a Podcast,” starting with Threads’ chaotic “dear algorithm” feature, comment-section backseat hosting, and why some viewers want every host to sound exactly the same.​ They veer into sex-ed gaps and STI testing myths: what standard panels actually miss, why BV keeps coming back for some people, and the horrific historical “rod in the urethra” scare story Jimmy was told as a kid.​ Then it’s onto politics and media: the SAVE Act and how voter ID rules can quietly knock poor people and married women off the rolls, plus the FCC panic that kept a James Talarico/Colbert segment off broadcast TV.​ They close with true-crime influencer ethics, the James Van Der Beek GoFundMe debate, jet skis as “secretly Republican-coded,” and a setup for the Patreon bonus episode on the wild lies adults told to scare kids away from sex.
