From 13-year-olds swarming influencers in the streets of New York to a pregnant girlfriend who may not know she's not legally married, this one is one for the books. <br /><b><br />We chat about: <br /></b>HSTikkyTokky (Harrison) — a 23-year-old who introduces women as his "dishwasher," streams seven hours a day, and has a very weird dynamic with his mom. The hand symbols, his shaved head era, and his complete moral vacuum are all thoroughly dissected.<br />Justin — the 40-year-old "polished" manosphere figure with a pregnant common-law wife, a steel magnate past, and a philosophy he calls "one-sided monogamy." The most unsettling figure precisely because he seems reasonable — until he says women don't know what they want and men should tell them.<br />Myron Gaines (Fresh &amp; Fit) — whose entire apartment is a podcast studio, whose girlfriend Angie cleans his room before Netflix arrives, and who couldn't answer Louie's question: "What if you just... only wanted to be with her?"<br /><br />The Fresh &amp; Fit Delusion Calculator, the Matrix conspiracy spiral, the Bonnie Blue cameo, the Baron Trump name-drop, and the penis extension expert… we discuss it all!!!!! <br /><br />The group also wrestles with bigger questions: What does the male loneliness epidemic actually look like? Why are these ideologies skewing younger and younger into Gen Alpha? Is it all just a big grift, a belief system, or both? And what on earth do you do about it?<br /><br />Plus: Neill brought a list of things women invented. <br /><br />TRIPS:<br /><a href="https://trovatrip.com/trip/europe/france/france-with-erika-abdelatif-jun-2026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lavender Dreams &amp; Riviera Nights With Erika</a> (time is running out!!!) <br /><a href="https://trovatrip.com/trip/europe/germany-and-austria/germany-with-erika-abdelatif-dec-09-2026?earlybird=true" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christmas Markets 2026!!! </a><br /><br />GET MORE FROM DINKY:<a href="https://dinkypod.myspreadshop.com/all" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a><br /><a href="https://dinkypod.myspreadshop.com/all" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Treat yourself to new merch! </a><br />Wanna get your finances in order?
