Sexual Education: Baseball Vs Pizza Pt 2

from Terrible Person · host Terrible Person

Gary and Selena react to a viral TED talk proposing a new way to teach sexual education by comparing intimacy to pizza instead of the classic baseball metaphor. They break down the strange logic behind the argument, question whether anyone actually learns about relationships this way, and explore how education, culture, and language shape the way people think about sex. The conversation drifts into discussions about modern sex education, internet access for kids, how pornography and social media have changed expectations for younger generations, and the awkward reality of how schools try to explain complicated topics to teenagers.Gary and Selena also revisit old instructional videos, religious education clips, and the strange history of how adults have attempted to explain reproduction and relationships to kids. Along the way they talk about horror movies like Smile, bizarre internet rabbit holes, government spending on mystery balloons, conspiracy theories, and the weird people you meet when you start digging into alternative science and multiverse healing. It is a chaotic mix of culture, media, education debates, and the strange ways people try to explain human behavior.

What's their favorite platform? What do they do that makes you want to follow them? Nicole asks those questions, and more, as she tries to discover, "why are you following me?" Explicit The Most Important Question Important, Not Important You already know things are broken. You read the news, you listen to the analysis, you've got the outrage. What you don't have is a plan.The Most Important Question — 6x Webby-nominated, 2x Signal Award-nominated — is a weekly conversation with one person who stopped asking "what can I do?" and went and found out. Not pundits. Not commentators. The scientists, doctors, nurses, journalists, farmers, activists, and policymakers who are doing the actual work on the frontlines of climate, public health, democracy, AI, food, water, medicine, and justice.Host Quinn Emmett goes deep with each of them — the infectious disease doctor building new outbreak surveillance tools, the investigative journalist who traced how forever chemicals got into 97% of our blood, the economist building emergency lifeboats for foreign aid that got axed overnight, one of the greatest writers alive reckoning with the history we were never taught — and every conversation ends with something nobody else gives Explicit Retail Nightmares Alicia Tobin and Jessica Delisle Co-ghosts Alicia and Jessica plus very funny guests discuss terrible work experiences, adorable animals and a bunch of other weird segments!
