I actually find the hosts of this podcast to be hilarious, and love their takes, which is why I subscribed to the Patreon. I thought this particular joke was dumb and it rubbed me the wrong way. Not trying to make a federal case out of it

I donnot think “ ladies” being offensive or an insult as a lady/girl myself. Isn’t that too sensitive to take ironic words( as opposite to their gender, rather than suggesting inferior). If this deem as offensive, what about dick jokes? I donnot agree with all the funny and sometimes goofy takes the hosts make, yet I think a bit less sensitive could keep them funny for most of the time.

I don’t know him, obviously, but would rather he keep us ladies out of it :)

No I get that. But I meant that I thought Aaron was being intentionally ironic in using it but maybe not. Agree it’s an outdated term.

Kim Hendig

I get that it was a joke, just not a fan is all

Christopher Kavanagh

I think Aaron meant it tongue in cheek but nonetheless apologies.

Kim Hendig

Are we still calling men “ladies” as an insult? That’s disappointing

Great episode! I enjoy the addition of Aaron, hope to hear more of him sitting in. One assumption you guys made that is likely erroneous: that Lindsey et al’s followers are not “prepping.” I live in the Pacific Northwest, USA. There are many preppers out there in this country. Even more after the past year. And the ven diagram of preppers and right wingers likely overlaps tremendously. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lindsey himself engages in prepping to some degree. One thing about prepping, it is kinda like fight club outside prepping circles.
