03:56:59
Bella (pre-law)doing the laundry together and then when it gets to that point like I could I would do the laundry feminist. >> No, I' I'd say like not like extreme but like you should >> you want equality. You want you want I
03:57:11
Jacqueline Thomasmean I'm just hearing I didn't want to label you feminist but a lot of what you're saying is it needs to be equal. It needs to be equal. But I don't think you're understanding how you're describing it isn't as equal as you're thinking it is in your mind.
03:57:23
Bella (pre-law)>> No, I understand. So yeah, I'm just trying to like get my like I would do those actions if he would work with me on them. Like so we laundry we do like laundry together at first and then like
03:57:35
Sativaif I enjoyed doing the laundry and stuff and even if he asked me he's like, "Hey, can you do the laundry this time?" Obviously I would. >> Yeah. And then it'll and then all the time things will be 50/50. Just 50/50 is going to be the basis of y'all's relationship. >> It doesn't have to be 5050.
03:57:48
Sativa>> No, no, no, but that's what you're But that's the But that's what I'm trying to say. So, it's like, so that means like the 50/50 laundry, 50/50 dates. So, that's just that's going to be the Okay. >> I mean, I've been in relationships like that that before and it's totally fine
03:58:01
Brian Atlaswith me, you know? >> I I guess here's my perspective. Like, do you want a guy to lead in the relationship? >> I mean,
03:58:12
Brian Atlas>> well, here here's a super [laughter] I mean, here here's here's a bit of a super quick test, though. Um, and leading in a relationship is a bit different than the initiative taker, but I think these are somewhat related and
03:58:24
Brian Atlasinterconnected. So, do you want a guy to make the first move? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Well, I mean, you said you've never asked a guy out. So, I mean, it occurs
03:58:34
Bella (pre-law)to me that because of this de facto, you do want a guy to >> Well, yeah, but like I'm like, do you mean like asking them to like or like pushing them to make the first move or just like naturally like cuz like
03:58:46
Brian Atlas>> what? Well, I mean, how would So, you would walk up to a guy and be like, "Hey, you should hit on me." Like, that would be you making the first move. >> No, but like giving them the intention to make the first move. >> Well, that would be you taking
03:58:59
Brian Atlas>> Okay. First move. That would be you making the first move. But I mean, has that been the case for you? You're like, "Hey, buddy." >> No. >> Can you? >> No. >> Yeah. So, okay, you want a guy to make the first move. Do you want a guy? So, that could be like, "Have you ever been
03:59:12
Brian Atlaslike approached after a class or on school or at a party or something like this?" >> Yeah. >> Right. Um or maybe they slide into a DM or Have you had a dating app before? >> No. >> Okay. No dating apps, but you've maybe had a guy slide into your DMs. Yeah.
03:59:24
Brian Atlas>> Has that gone anywhere or No. >> Uh I I usually don't respond. >> Okay. So, you meet people organically in person. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, from there, I'm assuming, okay, let's say a guy who you do think
03:59:36
Brian Atlasis cute comes up to you. You want him to initiate beyond just hi. Like, you probably want him to carry the conversation a little bit. Fair. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Then I'm assuming you want him to ask for your number. >> Yeah. >> Get social media, whatever. And then he
03:59:50
Bella (pre-law)probably has to make the first move, text you first. >> I mean, it depends on who gets the number cuz some like I mean, the girl can the girl can ask, too. doesn't like >> do you though? >> Most of the time the guy asks for the number. >> Most of the time. Yeah.
04:00:01
Brian Atlas>> Okay. And then from there he's most of the time the guy is going to be like, "Hey, we should hang out this day." >> Mhm. >> So something like that to that effect. Okay. From there then you meet up with him and then from there I'm assuming
04:00:13
Brian Atlashe's going to maybe he sets the plan. Meet me here this time. Blah blah blah. Um from there moving things forward. Um whether it's the first sec and you can watch rinse repeat the step until you're
04:00:26
Brian Atlascomfortable enough or whatever but moving things forward. Do you want him to initiate the first kiss? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Prefer like have you been the one who goes in or does >> I mean I feel like it's like they like have both you know.
04:00:38
Brian Atlas>> Yes. Girls say that but >> I don't know. It's too like >> girls like to process it. I feel like >> usually the guy is >> usually the guy going I get that you meet Yeah.
04:00:50
Brian Atlas>> you go into but the guy is going to initiate it. So um >> uh and then moving things forward from there physically. I'm assuming you have some expectation that the guy move things forward from there >> like phys like
04:01:03
Brian Atlas>> yeah physically like you know whatever you're looking up whatever. Um, okay. So, in at least in that dynamic, you do want that. I mean, that's a major component
04:01:13
Brian Atlasof traditional gender roles that often gets like overlooked because that's actually I personally think the burden of initiative is kind of a massive component and massive bur I don't want
04:01:25
Brian Atlasto frame it like a burden, but it is something that kind of uniquely typically falls on men. >> Yeah. >> Um, now for the most part. So,
04:01:37
Brian AtlasMy perspective is is as women if you want men to be leaders and take initiative. I think that one that ought to continue into the throughout the course of the relationship and I think most women do
04:01:49
Brian Atlaswant that to continue through the course of the relationship. But if you want a guy to be a leader, you need to be a follower. Like I can't lead somebody who like in a if I compare it to a dance,
04:02:01
Brian Atlasthere's a leader and a follower. >> You can't have two people leading in the dance. you're going to trip over each other's toes. Uh, in a relationship, I feel it's the same way. I'm not saying the man's a dictator. I'm not saying
04:02:12
Brian Atlashe's a tyrant. Not saying you're you can't give uh you can't, you know, I'm going to completely ignore all your opinions and etc. But I don't like in order for me to have
04:02:25
Brian Atlasresponsibility in a relationship, I need some level of authority >> in that relationship. So if I'm and also if like men's traditional roles are protecting and that's not just like if
04:02:37
Brian AtlasI'm going to protect it's not just like some guy's going to mug us. It's not just physical protection. It's protecting the relationship. It's protect protecting you in spirit protecting you in mind. And I do think
04:02:49
Brian Atlastalking about like people have bad habits and [ __ ] I do think it's the case sometimes women have dated guys who either were uh doormats or they dated
04:03:00
Brian Atlasguys who were a bit weak and women might have might be a bit lippy or might be a little sassy or might be xyz with with a guy and you got to tell her like that's
04:03:12
Brian Atlasnot how it's going to be with me. >> But in addition to that there's certain like you and I think you're you're probably going to disagree with me on this and look I think it's a perhaps an age difference here too because I think
04:03:24
Brian Atlaswhen you're in college people like to party and drink and whatever but if you're in a relationship with a guy say you really liked him. you've been dating him for a year and you're do you you're in a sority so you go to parties I'm imagining
04:03:37
Brian Atlasif your boyfriend was like you're asking him hey um what do you think about this outfit and he's like too revealing don't want you to wear it >> would you would you be afronted affronted is that a [ __ ] word
04:03:50
Brian Atlasaffronted would be >> not a front but would you be take a front to your boyfriend saying hey I don't want you to wear that >> I'd be a little like upset >> would it be controlling Yeah.
04:04:02
Brian Atlas>> Okay. >> What about if he was like, "Hey, um, it's hard because I I want to be charitable with the the age difference when people are 18, 19, 20, 21, whatever. They're partying. Although there's women that age who don't party
04:04:15
Brian Atlasand drink or whatever. But if your boyfriend was like, "Hey, look, maybe you can envision yourself when you're a bit older in your mid to late 20s, and your boyfriend who you really like and you think he's a great guy, maybe he's even the one, he's like,
04:04:27
Bella (pre-law)"Hey, I don't want you going out to bars. I don't want you going out to clubs. What's your response? >> Feel like I'd have to have like I tried to understand his point of view,
04:04:39
Bella (pre-law)>> but also I like I feel like that's like a lack of trust on his part cuz >> lack of trust. >> I mean like obviously I'm going to be loyal to him when I go out and stuff. But I do want to have like I'm going to go out with my girlfriends obviously, but I want >> Yeah. Yeah.
04:04:53
Brian Atlas>> But he doesn't want you to do that though. You can go get brunch with your girlfriends. You want to go a
04:05:04
Sativa>> You don't like it, do you? >> It's like I don't prefer it. >> You [laughter] don't prefer it. >> I don't prefer it. >> Right. >> What does a bar and a club have for you there? >> Mhm.
04:05:13
Sativa>> That like brunch or a nice dinner or like on there's like Christmas like like what is it about a bar and a club that
04:05:23
Sativamakes it like like for you that like what what is that like how does that add to your life? Like what's the benefit of a bar? >> Just having fun with my friends like you know like
04:05:34
Sativa>> but why does it have to be that? And like how does that allow you guys to be like progre like progress in life? Like you can have brunch with your girlfriends where you guys are discussing your potential law school or
04:05:46
Sativathings like that. Like isn't that more like beneficial to you as like a whole individual? It could be beneficial, but it's like it's not for the benefit. It's I I just want to have fun.
04:05:57
Brian Atlas>> Let me ask you this. So, you're dating a guy. You're in your mid20s, late 20s, >> uh, and he wants to go to the strip club with his boys. >> Do you have an issue with it? [laughter] >> Here we go. The cognitive dissonance.
04:06:10
Jacqueline ThomasYou're struggling with that thought cuz you're like, why would he dare go to the strip club? But why would you go? >> Wait. Well, let's get the answer first. But would you have an issue with it? >> He wants to go, then he wants to go. I trust him. But it's not ideal though.
04:06:23
Brian Atlas>> It's not ideal, but like I'm not going to be like, "No, you can't go." [laughter] You know what I mean? Like >> Well, I think in in relationships there are instances where you can say, "I don't want you to do that." >> Yeah.
04:06:36
Brian Atlas>> Like, "I don't want you to [ __ ] that person, obviously." Right. Don't have sex with that person, you know? Um otherwise, I won't be here. But um >> and what if he said no, then I break up
04:06:48
Sativawith him? But look and >> or not break up like what do you mean like like no to the CL like no you're like not going. >> Yeah. No. No. So say like how he was saying like there's going to be things that you're not going to want your
04:06:59
Sativasignificant other to do. And what if he looked at you in your face and was like well that makes me uncomfortable. I like to look at ass on the pole. I want to go cuz my boys are going. I don't care how
04:07:11
Bella (pre-law)you feel. This is just what you're going to like this is what I'm doing. Like it doesn't it that doesn't sound good, does it? >> No it doesn't. And like obviously we'd have like a conversation about it, but it's like okay like if he's if he wants
04:07:23
Bella (pre-law)to go then I I can't stop him. Like you know he's going to make his own decisions. He's grown at all >> and you're you're you're going to be okay with that. And I'm just asking just to understand. >> No. Yeah. I mean obviously like it's
04:07:34
Sativagoing to make me a little bit uncomfortable. But like I can't stop a person doing something that they want to do, >> right? Just like he I guess he wouldn't be able to stop you from going to the club or the bar. So, you guys are just going to we're just going to go to the club and bar and strip clubs. That's
04:07:48
Bella (pre-law)just >> healthy. So healthy. So fun. So loving. >> I mean, we're in our we're in our 20s. I mean, like I don't want to like >> You could be serious in your 20s as well. >> I don't know if I want to be though. Like fair, >> you know? Like
04:08:01
Sativa>> I don't I don't even know if I like want a like relationship. I mean, even besides like a relationship, I think that the things that you do in your free time are going to benefit or set you back on the things that you want to do,
04:08:13
Sativayou know? So, I just don't think there's any benefit to the club and and the bar. And honestly, if I could go back in time, I would take a lot of party in a way. >> Yes.
04:08:23
Brian Atlas>> So, that's fair. I I guess um I don't know that we we've been like kind of jumping around from different topic to different topic, but
04:08:36
Brian Atlastrying to think here. I was going to tie it back into the like for the perfect man would you not work or whatever. I guess when it relates to we were talking about being submissive and traditional
04:08:48
Brian Atlasgender roles and all this stuff. I do think that like you wouldn't be submissive it sounds like to your boyfriend or future husband like you'd want a more 50/50
04:09:00
Brian Atlasequality dynamic. Is that fair to say? >> I'm just not that type of sub like I'm not as I don't think I'm a submissive person really. I guess here's when I was asking earlier though, like for a perfect guy and he's rich and you never
04:09:12
Brian Atlashave to work. >> And I I understand that career can meet more than just a financial need. It can meet a fulfillment need. You can feel like you're you're doing something. It
04:09:24
Brian Atlascan keep you busy. It can sometimes it can be fun, exciting, whatever. But also, a lot of times it's a lot of work. Especially as an a lawyer, there's a lot of, you know, a lot of paperwork. It can
04:09:35
Brian Atlasbe stressful, long hours, etc., etc. Uh, and some of it might be undesirable work, right? But in totality, you would say, well, in totality, I I want to do it, right?
04:09:47
Brian Atlas>> Mhm. >> But even looking at other jobs, you're working in some corporation, whatever. The reason I asked that question of would you give up career and college for
04:09:57
Brian Atlasthe perfect man who's rich is I think that women have traded because they don't want well I mean there's other components here women you you have traded being
04:10:10
Brian Atlassubmissive to a husband to being submissive to an employer to a boss to a corporation right >> and it's it's interesting to me though
04:10:23
Brian AtlasBecause on one hand I I think that a husband typically and I think a lot of men are especially today are not at all
04:10:33
Brian Atlasdemanding and many men are doormats and I think a lot of women [ __ ] run their relationships not going to lie. But even then if you were to come across
04:10:43
Brian Atlasa guy who was wanted a more uh traditional dynamic were you more sub submissive women still wouldn't make the trade. But it's I'm trying to think the best way to
04:10:55
Brian Atlasphrase this. I think a corporation is going to be more cold than the husband. I think a corporation is going to ask you for more than your husband. The corporation, your
04:11:05
Brian Atlasboss is going to say, "Show up at 6:00 a.m. at 7:00 a.m. 8:00 a.m. wear this." >> Lit. >> I mean, that's that's literally work. Wear a uniform. >> We say yes. >> Wear a uniform. Like most men, maybe if
04:11:19
Brian Atlasthe guy's like, "Hey, just don't wear revealing, but wear whatever the [ __ ] you want." Like he's not going to be like, "Okay, you have to wear a blouse today. You have to wear what?" Like most men, you have kind of freedom in terms of selection. But if a guy's like, "Hey,
04:11:31
Brian AtlasI don't I don't want you to wear like go out in public with your ass hanging out." Um, which a lot of women do. Uh, that's somehow an issue. But of course, that would never fly in the workplace. Like if your job was like, "Look, we
04:11:44
Brian Atlasdon't want you to, you know, we need you to dress modestly in the workplace." >> Yeah. >> Yes, sir. >> Yes, boss. Even like super liberal women, they're going to be like, "Oh, of course, like in a professional workplace setting, I'm going to wear like a suit
04:11:57
Brian Atlasor whatever. Whatever women wear, like a dress, skirt, whatever." Um, but like your boyfriend doesn't want you to go to the club with your titties popping out and you're [ __ ] wearing a miniskirt.
04:12:08
Brian AtlasWhoa. Okay, that's controlling. You've traded submission from your husband, your boyfriend to your employer. Your employer says, "Clean that mess up." If you work, if you're a you work in a restaurant, clean that up
04:12:21
Brian Atlas>> first day. >> Go deal with them. Clean that up. Scrub the dishes or, you know, doing whatever. Um, clean up the mess. Uh, you know, do this, do that, do that, do that. I think a husband, a boyfriend is going to ask
04:12:32
Sativayou for a lot less. And, uh, I don't know. You guys have traded it. You've traded it. Honestly, that's such a great perspective. I never actually thought about it in that way, but honestly, like everything that you
04:12:44
Sativasaid that you're willing to do and what you're not willing to do is literally submitting to a job and subitting to professionals. >> But but the the job doesn't love you. The job is not going to care about you like that. The job is not going to care
04:12:57
Sativaif you're sick. The job is not going to care if your mom gets cancer. Yeah. But you know who or you're you're
04:13:04
Sativahaving bad period cramps. Your job does not care. But your husband would. >> Sorry. >> Your cold corporation. The cold
04:13:15
Brian Atlascorporation that you know they'll look and look I I'll be charitable here. Yeah. You could marry a guy who whatever he >> divorces you. That could happen too. You could lose the marriage. Um but just
04:13:27
Brian Atlaslike with a job you can like women will say in response to well okay but your husband could leave you. Okay well your job could fire you. Well you can find a new job. Well, you can find a new husband. >> Yeah. >> Um,
04:13:39
Brian Atlas>> but it's like I think this idea of like a rejection of a more submissive dynamic in a relationship, >> it's like, well, okay, you've great. So,
04:13:50
Brian Atlasokay, you won't date the millionaire guy who, in this hypothetical scenario, you won't do it for the the millionaire guy who treats you perfectly, perfectly loyal, will never leave you. You never
04:14:01
Brian Atlashave to work a day in your life. You never have to lift lift a finger. Or you'll be like a
04:14:11
Brian AtlasI mean I'm thinking of like the the waitress who makes like $15 an hour and she's like busting tables and taking order taking order like meal orders, not
04:14:23
Brian Atlasorderers orders. Uh they're she's cleaning [ __ ] up, [ __ ] busting her ass. And like that girl, she'll do that. But like a a guy comes along, hey, I'm
04:14:35
Brian Atlasdoing well. You don't have to work. Let me take care of you. It's like an affront. Oh my god, my feminist brain can't comprehend. [laughter] >> I don't know. It's interesting. >> It's backwards. I just want
04:14:47
Sabrina (Diabetic)>> It is backwards. >> So, it's so anti-family as well. >> Absolutely. >> Anti-tradition. >> It's like you take both parents out of the home, you know? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Um I don't know.
04:14:59
Brian Atlas>> [ __ ] Okay. Well, uh food for thought. Food for thought. Look, I'm not saying uh it's it's been a massive trade though in society. I'm not saying that we should that I think it's that I'm not
04:15:11
Brian Atlassaying that women shouldn't be allowed to work or anything like that. I'm just saying I'm speaking descriptively. So, descriptively it is the case that
04:15:19
Brian Atlasalthough look uh this idea that women were 100% procluded from working in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s, that's [ __ ]
04:15:30
Brian AtlasUm that that's that's BS. This idea that women couldn't work complete [ __ ] Now there were some components of the economy where but like socially it was
04:15:41
Brian Atlasless expected of women. There was an expectation for family and children but it's it's this interesting trade. It's this interesting trade where it's
04:15:50
Brian Atlaslike okay well uh now there's a economic reality where I mean corporations love it. The US
04:15:59
Brian Atlasgovernment tax system loves it. Now the the the cat's out of the bag. You I don't think we can ever really fix this. But I'm not saying women should
04:16:10
Brian Atlasshould be prevented from working. But it's like okay now it takes two incomes to raise a house to to have a household to to have a family. >> And people are even even if you have two
04:16:22
Brian Atlasincomes people are like economically looking at it like man this is [ __ ] up. Like you got two incomes and you can't even pay rent. You can't buy a house.
04:16:33
Brian Atlas>> Shit's expensive. It's all [ __ ] It's gigafucked. And look, I'm I'm just saying it's uh descriptively it is the case that when you double the labor pool that's going to uh corporations [ __ ]
04:16:47
Sativalove that. >> Oh yeah. And >> the tax system loves that. >> Yeah. Even the Airbnb I'm in like I can see the family. It's like a husband and a wife and they still actually have to like rent out a part of they built a
04:16:59
Sativatiny home in their backyard. You know what I'm saying? So it's like even with at this point even with two incomes is still not enough. They're having to have a stranger sleep in their backyard, you know, cuz I am a stranger. though.
04:17:12
Brian Atlas[laughter] >> And so it it is this it is this dilemma because obviously obviously um you know I people should have freedom and should
04:17:22
Brian Atlashave choice but like the old order of things where there was uh where there was a sort of like okay the man's the bread winner the woman is
04:17:34
Brian Atlastaken care of she takes care of the kids stays at home the man goes out to work uh I think there's something there where it's like
04:17:45
Brian Atlaswhat have been the economic manifestations of like opening the floodgates of we're going to try this experiment where uh women are going to
04:17:55
Brian Atlasput off having family having children until their late 20s early 30s and we're going to uh double the labor pool. So then cor
04:18:07
Brian Atlaswhich corporations love because you basically effectively cut the wage that you have to pay people in half. I'm not saying we shouldn't have done
04:18:18
Sativait, but I'm saying here are the perhaps unintended consequences of doubling the labor pool. >> Yeah, there's like almost it just exactly there's like a surplus of
04:18:27
Sativaworkers at this point and like not enough actual like quality jobs to where one income is okay. I don't know if that makes sense, but it's like now like employ like like being an employee isn't
04:18:40
Brian Atlasas valuable anymore. And I well I think the other thing is uh it was something about um
04:18:50
Brian Atlaslike on one hand yes you've given women more choice but you've also taken the choice away from women who wanted or who want a traditional dynamic because that's really rare now for a guy to be
04:19:03
Brian Atlasable to make enough money >> to just be like nah you don't have to work now it's like a necessity. It's no longer women have a choice of pursuing career, but there's no longer this other
04:19:15
Brian Atlaschoice that women used to have, which was like you had a choice as a woman in the 50s, in the 60s. Oh, I'll you know what? Um, I'll find a guy and we'll get
04:19:26
Sativamarried and have kids and >> I want to stay at home. That choice has almost entirely been taken away from women. >> Yeah. And even now, like even some stay-at-home moms actually still have to
04:19:38
Sativacome up with like a a passive income from home just to be able to still help. Like I'm talking about even if it's baking sourdough bread, they're not just doing it for their family. They're actually having to like sell it and bake
04:19:50
Sativa300 loaves a week. Like I follow these creators. I like sourdough. But [laughter] like the point is is even being a stay-at-home mom, it's like because of
04:20:01
Sativathe way the economy is, it still require like that means as a stay-at-home mom, I still actually have to make passive income somehow. I have to become innovative. I got diapers or I got this.
04:20:11
SativaI have a Yeah. 11year-old. So yeah, I was a young mom. But >> um so and even that with me, like my son's father is dead and I've had to take over. So I understood when I heard
04:20:22
Sativathat. Yeah. So I've had to take over in ways and let me tell you some mama tired. Okay, I'm tired, you know. I don't I don't want to do this. I don't,
04:20:33
Sativayou know, and you are young. So I think there's some naivity and and ignorance is bliss, which is why I think you're so like you feel so strongly about having things a specific way, but I promise you
04:20:44
Bella (pre-law)as you get older, you are going to be humbled in ways that you wish you weren't, you know? So >> yeah, that's fair to say. Like I'm definitely like I don't know everything in the world. Like I'm in college. Like some of the stuff that like I'm learning
04:20:57
Sativaright now like I don't even know if it's 100% true. And stuff. >> I just I just want you to be very open and not be so stuck in the circled reasoning of I want what I want. But and
04:21:08
Sativathat's just it. like you're going to get stuck in a circle and happiness is never going to be able to be attained because you're going to be trying to fulfill yourself constantly and it's just not going to be it's you're not going to be
04:21:21
Sativacap capable to fulfill yourself. It's just there's always going to be some sort of unhappiness or something you're looking for >> in some shape or form, you know? >> Yeah, I definitely like hear you like I I am taking it from a different
04:21:34
Bella (pre-law)perspective now and like obviously like I'm trying to understand it from all perspective. Like obviously I know my my opinion is not going to be everyone's opinion and also my opinion might always be the right opinion. So >> and honestly I love that that the fact
04:21:46
Sativathat you're even willing to at least being open is is going to help set you apart in the long run. It might not take you 10 years. It might take you two if that makes sense. >> No, I don't think we're going to change her mind. But um [laughter] she she's
04:21:57
Brian Atlasshe's probably pretty firm in her her position. But um I I think that uh [ __ ] What were we going to do? The Twitch. Yeah, there's something else I needed to
04:22:08
Brian Atlasfinish up on this topic here. I'm trying to remember. Um, oh [ __ ] I mean, even from the male perspective though, um,
04:22:18
Brian Atlasthis idea that like career, and I think it this would apply more so to the men than it can to women, but this idea that career is like some ultimate fulfillment in life. I don't think that's the case. I think when people are on their
04:22:31
Brian Atlasdeathbeds, I don't think they're going to think about, wow, I really closed that deal or I don't know, [laughter] I oh my god, you're going to look back and um on your deathbed, I assuming you one day have kids or have a family or
04:22:44
Brian Atlaswhatever. I think most people, man or woman, they look they look back on their life, it's going to be family. It's going to be kids. I don't think you're going to be thinking, "Oh man, I that
04:22:53
Brian Atlasone time I was on the prosecu prosecution and I uh that trial. Oh my god." I don't think people think like that. >> So I think like ultimate fulfillment in life I think is family. >> Yeah. >> And kids.
04:23:06
Sativa>> Think about your parents too. Like I'm sure when your parents are on their deathbed, they're not going to be saying, "Oh yeah, like I worked really hard at this job." They're going to be like, "No, I had a beautiful daughter and she grew and and learned and that's
04:23:20
Sativawhat [clears throat] they're that's what they're going to be very proud of at that moment." It's not going to be even the financial status that they're passing at, you know. So >> No. Yeah, for sure. I just think well in obviously I'm in college so my entire
04:23:32
Bella (pre-law)life right now is the workforce and like trying to get a job trying to get that degree and stuff. So obviously I feel like when I'm older I'm definitely going to think something else of it cuz I don't even know if I'm not even thinking of like marriage or kids right now or anything like that. It's by design.
04:23:46
Jacqueline Thomas>> Yeah. >> And that's what sort of make you think. >> Yeah. >> Career, money, but we have to remember in the back of your mind know that that's by design to get you >> off the course.
04:23:58
Brian Atlas>> It's to break the family unit. >> Absolutely. Yeah. [laughter] >> Anyways, we're I'm not trying to, you know, just hyperfocus in on you, but that that was where the conversation was going. Let's do Twitch, guys. Pull up Twitch, guys. We got Oh my god. We're I

04:36:39
HaleyUh, should men pay on first dates? Raise them high. Raise them high. No, >> I'm okay either way. 50/50 or if the offers protest too much.
04:36:50
Brian Atlas>> Uh, men should provide and protect. Raise your hand if you agree. Okay. Men should be chivalous. Okay. Husband should be willing to die
04:37:02
Brian Atlasprotecting me. Oh. >> Oh, wait. I changed this one up. I had a different So, on the questionnaire it says take the bullet, but I actually came up with a different scenario.
04:37:14
Brian Atlas[ __ ] Wait. Ah, okay. Here it is. Here it is. Um, wait. First, let me just, should your husband be willing to take a bullet for you? >> Like die protecting you essentially?
04:37:27
Brian Atlas>> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Well, because there's there's an expectation like men should be protectors, whatever. I came up with a better one than the bullet though because I think the bullet one
04:37:38
Brian Atlasthere. There's a third party perpetrator. I'm changing it to a better one. Here it is. Consider a scenario. A ship is
04:37:49
Brian Atlassinking and only one functioning life preserver remains. You're married. This life preserver can save only one
04:38:00
Brian Atlasperson. There's no workaround. There's no loopholes. There's no additional options. You can't be like, "I'm going to tread water for 12 hours." You can't hang on to them. You can't find some
04:38:10
Brian Atlasdebris from the ship wreckage. There's one life preserver and you one person essentially has to die. Given that one person, either the
04:38:22
Brian Atlashusband or the wife, you in this instance, must die, who should volunteer to sacrifice themselves?
04:38:32
Bella (pre-law)Starting with you. [laughter] >> Uh, the husband. >> The husband. Okay. >> Myself. >> You You would
04:38:42
Sierra>> Yeah, >> that's a tough one. I think him. >> Him. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Also the husband, >> right? Chivalry, right? Yeah. >> I'm going to say the husband, too.
04:38:55
Haley>> Husband would. Yes. >> Into the mic. Um, >> husband. >> What about you? That's a toughy. I mean, he better, you know, be offering, but I'd also, you know, be willing to if if, you know, this is my husband loving my
04:39:07
Sierralife, I'd be offering to We're going to have to rock paper scissors it. I think that's fair. >> Okay. Um, >> yeah, like in that moment, I feel like I couldn't live with myself though. Like, if I had to watch him die, like I just
04:39:21
Brian Atlas>> That's why I chose >> That's a tough one. >> It's gonna It's going to suck no matter what. >> Now, here's a question. Here's like
04:39:28
Brian Atlasanother one. Let's say you're witnessing the
04:39:36
Brian Atlasyou you were on the ship and you have a life preserver, but you see the ship, the the boat, there's a couple on the boat,
04:39:49
Brian Atlasand there's only one life preserver left. Who would you judge more harshly? So this doesn't impact your your life at all.
04:39:59
Brian AtlasWould you have a harsher judgment towards one or the other if one of them opted to take the life preserver? Would you? So if the woman if they make a
04:40:10
Brian Atlasdetermination that the the woman gets the life preserver or the man gets the life preserver, would you more harshly judge the man for taking the life preserver over the woman? >> Yes.
04:40:22
Haley>> Than the reverse? Yes. >> Yes. Damn, that's crazy. [laughter] Um, I mean, I get it. >> I think I kind of would just because, you know, like he's [ __ ] Well,
04:40:34
Brian Atlas>> you should die for your [laughter] >> Also, a guy could swim longer, too, just cuz of >> Well, in this scenario, like, let's say the water's really cold and he's like, you know, no one's going to survive, right?
04:40:46
Haley>> I don't freaking know. That's tough. Well, I'm not I'm not going to judge judge either one like just on their gender in that situation. Okay. >> I mean, that it's just your two lives
04:40:58
Brian Atlasright there. >> Shit's [ __ ] up. >> Me personally, even in the Well, no, I'm not going to I'm not going to get into the bullet discussion, but >> hypothetical. [laughter]
04:41:10
Brian Atlas>> I'm taking the life jacket. >> I feel like women would judge you harshly on that. [laughter] Like, I'm just like, you know, she can die. >> Women are going to be like, yo, what the [ __ ]
04:41:21
Brian AtlasWhat if it was your kid? >> That's a tough one. My kid. Damn. [ __ ] [laughter] My son or my daughter? >> Oh, damn. >> Oh,
04:41:33
Sativa>> [ __ ] I don't know. [ __ ] Chat, what do you do? >> Oh, like if you had to pick between your son or your daughter getting the life jacket. >> I'm an honest person to a fault. >> Damn, this is really [ __ ] up question.
04:41:45
HaleyI got to be honest. [ __ ] That's crazy. I mean, if you have your same wife, you could just make another one. >> This is so such a hard [ __ ] question. >> How is it so hard?
04:41:55
Brian Atlas>> Well, okay, hold on. So, I would do almost anything to protect my children. Like, I will go through pain and suffering and I will sacrifice dearly
04:42:07
Brian Atlasfor for my children. >> But presented, oh my god, this is so [ __ ] up, but it's like one of those This sounds [laughter] so [ __ ] up to say. my life. Say it.
04:42:19
Sierra>> I feel like some people would virtue signal on this and be like, "Of course I would like let my kid live." >> I got to be honest. >> I'm taking the [ __ ] life jacket. I'm [ __ ] taking the life jacket, bro. >> You don't have a kid, though, right? >> Do you have kids? >> No.
04:42:33
Brian Atlas>> No. >> Yeah. I feel like it would change. >> I know that sounds so [ __ ] bad. [laughter] It's >> It does. >> I don't know. It's like It's like would you rather your mom or your dad die? I don't know. It's like some It's so >> No, [laughter] it's different. When you
04:42:46
Haleyhave kids, your sons are going to change. I'm sure. >> Hopefully. >> I'm surviving. I'm sure. >> I think I think logically, okay, if it's uh if it was between like you can you can't make another you, but you and your
04:42:59
Brian Atlaswife could make another one of your kids. >> That That is my thinking. I could have more kids, you know? I know it sounds so [ __ ] bad, but [laughter] I kind of like being alive and not drowning. >> So, I know it's not Damn. live with
04:43:13
Haleyyourself. >> Yeah, I promise you. You >> I would be >> Yes, I would. I would be a piece of [ __ ] but >> um >> Oh, wait. But you you would live, but
04:43:25
Sativayou're also going to hell. I mean, that's pretty much guaranteed to believe in that. >> And I'm going to say this, like, if if that happened and I took the life jacket and I watched my son drown, I'd probably end up killing myself anyway. I'm going
04:43:37
Sierrato be honest. >> I would knock myself off. >> I feel like it's cuz he doesn't know. going to get laid ever again. >> Um >> like she was found her kid was found with a life vest on the boat and >> yeah,
04:43:50
SPEAKER_09>> I heard about that. >> I haven't heard about that. I'm not sure. >> She drowned and saved her kid. >> That's the assumption. >> That's like the That's really powerful
04:44:01
Sativaactually. I just know I couldn't especially cuz I said this last time. My son had like a stroke and a brain aneurysm when he was eight and um so
04:44:11
Sativathat showed me that I know I wouldn't make it without him. Like since it was that close I was like there's just no there's no way. >> So >> yeah, that's scary. He's doing really good though, by the way. He's doing
04:44:23
Brian Atlasgreat. Yeah. >> Uh okay, where were we? Um we were >> you were going to kill off your kid on a boat. >> Yeah, [laughter] you're keeping the life jacket. >> Oh no, man. Um
04:44:35
Brian Atlas>> yeah anyways uh we we were talking about that. Oh uh oh will you keep your like let's say you get married will you keep your last name or uh hyphenate in marriage?
04:44:48
Bella (pre-law)>> I think I'll keep my last name. >> You'll keep your last name girl >> just cuz my mom did so I was like >> oh wow >> yeah she she kept her last name. So I kind of want to like >> she didn't hyphenate. >> Nope. >> What about for the kids? Do you have hyphenated? >> I have my dad's. >> You have your Okay.
04:45:01
Brian Atlas>> Yeah. All right. >> But she kept hers. So I don't know. >> So what what was the point of that? >> I don't know. >> That's just Anyways, >> but but so you did say you raised your hand to all of my previous questions.
04:45:14
Brian AtlasWhat men should pay on first aids, men should provide, protect, men should be chivalous. Husband should be willing to die, protect. I don't know. If you're you want your husband to die for you, you got to take his last name. >> Yeah. And at minimum at you don't got to
04:45:26
Brian Atlasbow. >> You got [laughter] to bow. What what do men get? They women don't want to take the last name. They don't want to be submissive. They don't want to cook. They don't want to clean. What are men getting for all the traditional things that men do?
04:45:40
Sierra>> Nothing. >> Yeah. Like why won't you take the last name? >> Huh? >> Like why wouldn't you want to take his last name? >> I like my last name. >> So it's just like the sound of it. I >> I mean my my argument here is even if
04:45:52
Brian Atlasthe guy has a really bad last name and your last name is the dopest last name ever. Sorry. >> You got to wear that [ __ ] proud. >> That was my life. I had the dopest [laughter]
04:46:03
Jacqueline Thomas>> without without question the best last name ever. And I struggled >> to to rid myself of that name because my new last name is so basic. >> It's incredibly basic. I was struggling
04:46:14
Jacqueline Thomaswith that. But uh Brian, this brings up a good point and it's not leaving the conversation, but didn't you say I tried to cram all the episodes that I could this past week since I don't really I'm
04:46:25
Jacqueline Thomasnot a regular viewer of this show, but I but you said there's no >> reason for a man to want to get married >> or there's no benefit to a man getting married or
04:46:38
Brian Atlas>> uh there there's a religious benefit if you're religious, but absent religion, I don't really think there Well, I mean the the the better framing is for the bread winner there's no benefit really in totality.
04:46:51
Jacqueline Thomas>> So there's money >> which is typically the man. >> I get what you're saying. >> But did did you want to >> well >> provide push back or >> Well, it's tied to what she was saying. I I thought about it because I was like,
04:47:05
Jacqueline Thomas"Yeah, I can see where he's coming from." But what about your your your your lineage? >> Oh, I can have kids outside of marriage.
04:47:14
Jacqueline ThomasSure, you can. But in the case of like her family, if if it's my if if it's me and and you and you have not given me the benefit of
04:47:26
Brian Atlasmarriage, why would I give you the benefit of giving my child your last name? >> That's true. >> Well, I think there's there is an argument to be made. If you're not married to the person, then you don't
04:47:38
Brian Atlashave to take the last name. However, as it relates to the children, uh whether married or not, there is a tradition that exists there that the woman that the children regardless of the marriage status, uh the children take the
04:47:51
Jacqueline Thomasfather's last name. >> But you know, in every state legally, hospitals prefer when parents are not married to take the the name of the wife of the mother, her last name. It's
04:48:02
Jacqueline Thomasusually just her suggesting that the the dad gets it that they give the child the last name. But I easily could just say, "Well, I'll >> Well, I mean, I I could just say she's I'm just saying she's well within her
04:48:13
Jacqueline Thomasrights to say, "Oh, well, I'm gonna give the child my last name." >> And then you you might have progyny, but you won't have any legacy. >> Well, hold on. Um,
04:48:23
Brian Atlasyes, a woman could do that, but >> And she should? >> I mean, what do you mean she should? She should do that if we're not married, but she's my woman. >> Well, if you're not married, then she's not your
04:48:36
Brian Atlas>> No, she shouldn't. No. Well, well, hold on. She is my woman whether we're married or not. But >> yeah, she's my she she is and I'm her man, but >> yeah. So,
04:48:48
Brian Atlas>> if you However, regardless of our marriage status, um at least any woman I would choose to have children with, again, regardless of if we're married or not,
04:48:59
Jacqueline Thomasuh our kids have my last name. >> Yeah. But you can't she can like you you were saying saying she could flip on you and then she can divorce you and she can a prenap doesn't mean anything. She can easily have the baby and be like I went through all this and this man won't give
04:49:11
Jacqueline Thomasme a ring. He's not getting lineage. I'm going to keep this baby with my last name and she's well within her rights to do so. >> Well, I mean I don't know if we're uh have a dispute over what lineage means, but I mean >> like legacy
04:49:24
Brian Atlas>> blood Well, yeah, but blood lineage would exist regardless. >> No, that's progeny. No, lineage would relate to blood regardless what their actual last name is. >> Well, when you trace the family tree, you go by the father.
04:49:37
Jacqueline Thomas>> Unless I'm misunderstanding lineage, which I mean, I'm going to just Google it. Um, >> like legacy, like my la your last name being carried into perpetuity. >> Lineage.
04:49:48
Jacqueline Thomas>> So, your son will not have your last name. His child will now have have his grandfather's last name, which is his mother's last name. So I think that that
04:49:58
Brian Atlascan be a component of lineage but I think lineage uh I I think lineage would be just the name that that relates to blood and ancestry.
04:50:10
Brian Atlas>> Yeah. But you don't see blood on family histories. You see you you they track your history based unless >> my lineage. Well wait hold on. This doesn't even make sense. So if my lineage then if I married a woman who
04:50:22
Jacqueline Thomashad children from another man or I get cucked but the kid has my last name. Is that my lineage? >> If she take So >> that's an L. >> No. So if so if you adopt her children
04:50:34
Brian Atlasand the the judge gives you that child's last name, >> right? Is that what you're saying? >> By the way, just to be clear, that's not um when I was saying it's an L. It's an L to be cocked. I don't think it's an L to be a stepfather. Oh, that's amazing. just wanted
04:50:47
Brian Atlas>> but it's like if she gets pregnant by another another man and I think it's my kid and the kid has my last name that's not my lineage >> but you're so you're so but it is now
04:50:59
Jacqueline Thomasyou have now robbed that child's b not you robbed it the child's biological father has been robbed of his legacy by the court and it's been bestowed upon
04:51:09
Jacqueline Thomasthe new father legally to now have every accomplishment everything that goes with this child now will have Brian's last name with this child going further.
04:51:20
Jacqueline ThomasThat's why it's such a big deal to adopt somebody or to take somebody's last name because you now have all the ownership and rights or whatever that go with this person into the future onto their child
04:51:31
Brian Atlasonto their son's child onto their son's son's child. Um, I I mean I don't know if we're having just a kind of a dispute over the definition of lineage,
04:51:44
Jacqueline Thomas>> but where am I? But I I understand what you're saying, but are you understanding what I'm saying? If if a wife you're you assumed that whoever you impregnate, whether you marry her or not, she is
04:51:56
Jacqueline Thomasgoing to give her your child, your biological child, your last name. >> Yeah. But she is well within her legal rights and most states, >> especially when the parent the couple
04:52:08
Brian Atlasthe parents are not married. >> Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. Even if I'm married to her, she's well within her legal rights. >> Absolutely. >> To to dispute the name of the child and want the the last name. So, I don't see
04:52:21
Brian Atlaswhy marriage is related to this. Regard regardless of our marriage status, even if we're married, the woman could be a [ __ ] or whatever it is, or she could just have a difference of opinion. Like even if it okay, we get married, here's
04:52:33
Brian Atlashow we're going to do it with the children. Oh, now that I've had a kid, no, we're going to name we're going to hyphenate. Nah, the kid I want the kid to have my last name. And ultimately, I I don't know exactly the legal framework of what would happen if under a marriage
04:52:46
Brian Atlasthere was a dispute as to the last name of the child. I don't know what would happen. I'm assuming the hospital would probably defer to the to the mother probably. >> Yeah, >> probably. So, so marriage wouldn't even
04:52:56
Brian Atlasprotect me in that situation. In this case, the lineage is blood. But >> I can have a I can date a woman and we can agree, hey, we're not going to get married and she can defer to me. She can
04:53:08
Brian Atlasacquies to me and she can be like, the kid's going to have your last name, Brian. Marriage would not protect me in this circumstance. >> But why would she have to defer to you for the child's last name? >> Why would a woman have to acquies even in a marriage? >> Because typically a woman who gets
04:53:21
Brian Atlasmarried and takes her husband's last name will give her child her husband's last name. It's her last name. Trust me, a lot of women run their [ __ ] even in marriage. In fact, I think men get more cucked. I think men get more cucked in
04:53:34
Brian Atlasmarriage because there's a bunch of women use marriage as leverage. Like women will use marriage as leverage to get their will. So I actually think it's a more in terms if we're talking about
04:53:46
Brian Atlaswho has more leverage in a relationship. I actually think the leverage rem it's it's not so much I have more leverage, she has more leverage, but in marriage women or well the woman the person who's not the bread winner has the leverage in
04:53:58
Brian Atlasthe marriage. >> The person who's not the bread winner has the leverage in the marriage and this is typically the woman >> diabetic shock stay >> for how much longer?
04:54:09
Sabrina (Diabetic)>> Uh I don't know. How about can you can you pump out another 30 40 minutes? What do you think? >> I it's already been over that it should be. >> It's like life over here. Life death over here. >> Hey, look. I'm I'm not >> It's a long
04:54:22
Sabrina (Diabetic)>> opposed to just having somebody die on the whatever. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Go ahead. We'll we'll have you back again when you have your meds or whatever. >> Thank you. And it's awesome to see a picture of Charlie here. Keep that up for piss off the lip tarts. Keep doing
04:54:34
Sabrina (Diabetic)your thing. You're all lovely. I'm glad that we all got to talk. Have a good night. >> Drive safe. Drive safe. >> Thank you. Uh here, can you take her seat? We'll just move over a little bit. Um >> uh so
04:54:47
Jacqueline Thomaswhat was your point? Sorry. >> Oh, my point was when a woman gets married and takes her husband's name, cuz you were your point was even if you get married, there's no uh >> yeah, >> guarantee. But if she takes your name
04:55:00
Jacqueline Thomasand when she gets married and y'all have a baby, >> why would she not give her child her last name, which is now which is also your name? >> I see. So, you're saying, well, in a
04:55:10
Brian Atlasscenario where uh she she's gone ahead prior to having children gone ahead and taken your last name and you guys are married. Well, obviously, duh, the children are going to have her last name, too. >> Her last name, which it happens to be
04:55:23
Brian Atlasyour last name. >> Yeah, that makes total sense for me. But I I don't see why marriage is necessary for this. Well, you I'm just saying
04:55:34
Brian Atlas>> you you you acknowledge that when somebody gets married, there's nothing that legally compels the woman to take the hus the the husband's last name even in marriage.
04:55:44
Brian Atlas>> Oh, right. Absolutely. >> Right. So, the same the same standard would apply whether we're married or not. If the woman is disinterested in
04:55:55
Brian Atlashaving either her last name being my last name or having the children take on my last name, they're within whether married or not, they're within their legal rights to prevent that.
04:56:06
Jacqueline Thomas>> But once you get married, you decide whose last name is whose. Whether she keeps her last name, whether she hyphenates, once you get married, y'all make a decision, right? >> So whatever you decide, you decide whose
