Mr. Pick Me & The Manhater

Men online are furious about the new God of War installment, where you play as Laufey (Kratos's wife and the character the entire series is built around), so naturally someone made an AI game called God of Laundry where she does dishes and changes diapers. Chesko and Regan connect the outrage to a larger pattern: the same men demanding empathy for male loneliness are openly, publicly building communities around hating women.

Chesko and Regan react to a viral clip from Dr. Mike's podcast in which a guest claims the left doesn't care about men's issues (including male loneliness, depression, and declining college enrollment). They push back hard, arguing that these problems are products of patriarchy, that feminists (especially women and gay men) have been addressing them for decades, and that the real complaint isn't that no one is talking about masculinity, but that no one is centering men's feelings without context or accountability. They also dig into male friendship deficits, the myth that men and women can't be friends, the harm of gendering personality traits, and why rehabilitating men in pain isn't women's job.

In this episode, Chesko and Regan dig into a clip from the Modern Wisdom Podcast about men and women's differing political views in relationships, using it as a springboard to discuss how voting reflects core values and morality, the myth that ethics require religion, and why women are increasingly treating political alignment as a dealbreaker. The conversation weaves through personal stories about discovering friends' hidden bigotry, being used as someone's token minority or LGBTQ+ "reference," proximity to fame, and the predatory patterns behind large age-gap relationships which all build to the episode's central thesis that shitty behavior isn't a partisan issue. Shitty dudes exist across the political spectrum.

Regan and Chesko discuss a viral video of a woman recounting her husband's Disney World meltdown after their stroller went missing. We dig into the red flags, the privilege baked into acting that way without consequences, and the unexpected turn the conversation takes when the poster responds to commenters telling her to leave...revealing the early, fragile stages of recognizing you're in a bad situation. Plus a broader talk about rage-bait, internet pile-ons, and the responsibility creators and commenters share to leave space for the women who actually need to be heard.

Regan and Chesko break down what might be the most sexist article ever written, a New York Post hit piece on Greta Thunberg with a misleading headline implying she’s caught up in a Freedom Flotilla sex scandal she has nothing to do with. The article mocks her “short stint” in Israeli prison after being kidnapped, calls her the “Swedish queen of sanctimony,” fixates on her “angry” face, and reduces her entire career to one “how dare you” moment. From there, the conversation widens into the Monica Lewinsky playbook of sacrificing women to protect powerful men, misogyny on the left, and the constant pressure to soften accountability for the sake of coalition-building.
