Gooning to Plato's Allegory of the Cave

Summary:

In this episode, we go where no "serious" podcast should: the philosophy of the "Spank Bank." What starts as a high-brow attempt to link Plato’s Allegory of the Cave to pornography quickly devolves into a hilarious confession of male insecurity and confusion. We discuss the "fortress under siege" that is the teenage male brain, admit our total ignorance of the female experience, and prove once and for all that we have no idea what we're talking about. Come for the shadow puppets, stay for the awkward panic. It’s an unscripted, unfiltered, and deeply sweaty look at the "bro science" of desire—featuring a mansplaination of the female anatomy with 0% accuracy and 100% confidence. Please correct us.

Key Topics:

Memorable Quotes:

• "The first porn was some guy looked at some bushes and thought they looked like titties."
