In this chaotic and darkly comedic episode of *Attitudes!*, hosts Homosexual Brian Safi and feminist Erin Gibson navigate a surreal landscape of absurdity, trauma, and societal decay. The conversation begins with playful banter about sex, cleaning cameras with panties, and the overproduced nature of reality TV, before diving into two harrowing topics: the disturbing rise of 'rape academies' on the website motherless.com, where men are allegedly drugging and livestreaming sexual assaults on sleeping partners, and the invasive surveillance of a transgender woman at Madison Square Garden by billionaire owner Jim Dolan, who allegedly used facial recognition to track her movements, misgender her, and ultimately ban her from the arena. The hosts express outrage at the normalization of such behavior, the gaslighting of victims, and the absurdity of online debates downplaying the scale of these crimes. They also reflect on personal vulnerabilities—Brian’s anxiety about his father’s judgment, his pilot’s license joke, and his love for a ceramic cigarette sculpture—while promoting Quince for effortless style and Acorns for accessible investing. The episode ends with a mix of dark humor, pop culture commentary, and a poignant reminder of the importance of kindness, even as the world feels increasingly unhinged.
The existence of 'rape academies' on sites like motherless.com, where men are taught to drug and assault partners, is a real and alarming global issue.
Jim Dolan’s surveillance of a transgender woman at Madison Square Garden, including facial recognition and red-alert targeting, constitutes a severe violation of privacy and civil rights.
Online communities are increasingly debating the scale of these crimes with disbelief and denial, even when facts are laid out—highlighting a dangerous post-truth culture.
Personal identity, vulnerability, and self-expression (like Brian’s ceramic cigarette art or his 'chestnut' plane) can be both deeply personal and metaphorically powerful.
Simple acts of kindness—like a free smoothie or a well-timed joke—can be radical in a world that feels increasingly hostile and surveilled.
Opening Chaos: Sex, Cameras, and Reality TV
The episode kicks off with a barrage of absurd humor—Brian cleaning his camera with a fresh pair of panties, discussing the number six, and mocking the overproduced nature of shows like RuPaul's Drag Race and Love Is Blind, which use constant soundtracks and fake lyrics to manipulate emotion.
The Ceramic Cigarette and the 'Chestnut' Plane
Brian shares his obsession with a ceramic cigarette sculpture gifted by his friend Bella, using it as a metaphor for his longing for smoking. He then reveals his 'chestnut' plane—a plane he named after a joke about JFK Jr.’s crash—and his surreal journey flying his mom from El Paso to Florida.
Parental Anxiety and the Sock Incident
Brian recounts being paralyzed by his father’s absurd logic—accusing him of stealing his mother’s socks—highlighting generational disconnect and the emotional toll of being infantilized by parents.
The Free Smoothie and Gen Z Body Shaming
Brian shares a story of being body-shamed at a smoothie shop by a Gen Z employee who misinterpreted his order as a joke about slimming down, only to then overfill it with supplements and give it to him for free.

“If there's one person doing this, that is too many. Make an example out of them so no one fucking does this.”

“I thought he was doing something nice to take care of me at night. And it was drugging me.”
“It's the beginning of a lot of these videos is confirmation that this person is knocked out. As like a quality check?”
