You were on point in this convo Isaac! Great insights from both sides. Re: sound quality, we mainly just needed more volume on HP's track.

Fanstastic podcast. I heard you on NRP talking about some of this, how unique this point in our culture is because of this, but it got covered so briefly I wanted more. So glad you were able to get someone like Zero HP to help you tease the thread out further.

Where is the art from in the thumbnail, by the way? It looks so familiar.

I love Lovecraft's ideas about a Man party and a Woman party. I've been writing a lot about the surprise I believe Dems are going to get when (in particular, because masculinity is still a big value for them) black and Hispanic men switch parties in big numbers in November.

My data so far is from polls which are showing this and my own observations (which are one of the better sources of data anyway), such as what I saw when, for a job, I had to look at who was running for office in local NYC elections. There turned out to be lots of rapper-ish black guys running in the GOP column.

And then there was the amazing positive reaction by black guys to the anti-woke rap tune by two white guys, Tom Macdonald and Ben Shapiro. No worries about "appropriation" here. The common denominator was the scorn for the Karen culture. And not all females are choosing the "woman" party by any means. We love male energy and understand the species will die without it

Very enjoyable! Thanks to both of you. Always takes my old ear bones a moment to adjust to ZHP’s synth voice. Love it, though.

👏👏👏👌❤️

Don’t know if it’s just me but the guest’s sound quality is basically unlistenable
