Outstandingly Bad.. Ft. Joe Santagato || Two Hot Takes Podcast || Reddit Reactions

[@Erin49694]

under no circumstances is it okay for a parent to commit any sort of sexual act on their child. that’s the most vile thing i’ve ever heard. it’s NOT consensual. it’s assault.

[@succubitch1054]

right and the audacity of that researcher to say it counts as a "non traumatic" instance, as if he wasn't sexually abused for at least 4 years. just bc he hasn't unpacked it doesn't mean it wasn't traumatic, especially bc of how it started.

the sad thing about the incest story is that the victim does not, to this day, realize that he was assaulted all throughout his teenage years by the people that should have protected him.

[@992dancer]

Exactly!! Especially when they mentioned the abuse ended around college, it’s so clear that the mom is a pedophile and used this as an excuse, she stopped abusing him when he became an adult!! (which is very typical of sexual abuse of children, perpetrated by pedophiles)

[@chllin22]

Just to answer your question Morgan! I’m not vegan either, but the reason vegans don’t consume any animal products even the ones that naturally come from animals is due to unethical treatment of those animals to get the MOST product. I won’t go into detail but this includes overcrowding in cages, painful injections of hormones, etc.. The U.S. food infrastructure leads to all non-local and mass produced food products to mistreat the animals, which is why so many people try to get locally farmed eggs, milk, etc. instead! Hope this helps ❤️

[@davidharshman7645]

I will say, at least where the dairy industry is concerned, there is a lot of misinformation about alleged mistreatment of dairy cattle.

[@chllin22]

@@davidharshman7645 idk I took a class focused on agriculture production and industry and what I saw scarred me but then I realized I was being far too restrictive on my diet and for my mental health just needed to stop weight myself morally sm on it. It sucks bc really every step of the food industry has exploitation in it to some degree. I come from migrant workers so im well aware it’s not just animal products. The ideal form of farming I’ve learned is through husbandry practices but that’s not what goes on the shelves at most places bc they have smaller yields of product and the practice is dying out due to a lack of teaching next generations it :,) We hate it here!

[@chllin22]

@@davidharshman7645 I just wish there was more of an industry focus and support on small farming and not taking advantage of small farmers bc we should be able to have all sorts of food and not have to worry about what happened for it to get on our plates!

[@davidharshman7645]

​@@chllin22If you want to support small farms because you like them better, that is 100% valid. I am just aware that there is a lot of propaganda out that with misinformation to make things seem worse than they are. And, I have enough experience with the dairy industry to know that most of the negative allegations about mistreatment of dairy cattle is completely false. Like...I have seen evidence that the chicken industry is bad, for sure. But, that doesn't inherently translate to "all animals are mistreated in all farms/industries."

[@chllin22]

@@davidharshman7645 definitely agree! That’s why I think everyone going vegan isn’t the answer to fixing the food industry problems. because it labels ALL farms ALL animal products as bad. We need systemic change. I still respect people’s choice to go vegan but it’s one of those things like it doesn’t solve the root of the problem! :(

[@morgangregory8674]

Some vegans eat their own eggs from chickens or local farm chickens. But big box store eggs are really really cruel to chickens. So it’s mostly a protest to the big cruel farms

[@misshell]

Then those people are ovo-vegetarians, not vegan. Vegans do not consume or use any products derived from animals (not even honey).

[@babytooty04]

Then they are not a vegan

[@Isa-it7df]

It doesn't matter if its a big farm or not. Its still cruel and exploiting so therefore not vegan. (Male chicks get killed either way... also chicken only lay eggs for about 2 years bc its too exhausting and then?)

the fact he was so groomed he's still okay with it.. Also with both parents being so eager and willing causes me to not remotely trust his sister was untouched. at the least she knew.. But like those aren't human beings why wouldn't the dad do something?? He was jealous of his own wife and son and saw nothing wrong??? ffs 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@HAnnB24]

@@bxbydrxgxn Totally, he was groomed an saw nothing wrong with it, I hope that part of what the researcher did was get them all therapy but I think it was researching the 'positive side of incest' I doubt it. I also agree the sister knew something at least, even if not everything. I get the feeling that it might have been some cuck kink the dad had but wasn't okay with random guys but the son was considered an acceptable substitute, somehow - or maybe developed into that and that's why it continued even after the healing process (not that I think it was okay in the first place/during healing). This is the only reason I can think of for why the sister would have been untouched. (ETA: I hadn't watched far enough for them to mention this about other stories when I commented)

That weird jolt feeling we get while we’re asleep happens when our heart rate drops suddenly.

Funny story for morgan- i live in a small town. I was having some issues with fertility (not too bad but longer than i expected). I went to go pick up another pregnancy test at the local store. They keep them behind the counter locked up so you have to ask for one in front of everyone. I asked for the pregnancy test a wanted and the old lady working there said super loud as she was getting it unlocked "You already need another test?!!" Apparently she had checked me out previously and remembered me. "How many times do you have to test?" She asks loudly. I wanted to die. And cry. A girl behind me came up and said "THATS NONE OF YPUR BUSINESS MAM!" I had never met the girl but i thanked her several times for having my back when i wanted to burst into tears. I can laugh about it now as i am 6 months pregnant lol. Mind you it had been atleast a month or two between tests.

Im 23, we have 3 kids(4 year old & a set of 1 yr old twins), we own our home, we are a COMPLETELY normal happy family, but the times I have gone to check out with a cashier, I get side eyed because I'm young, they assume I don't have kids lol(I don't buy pregnancy tests if they are with me, and I am a chronic tester, because I get scared I'll find out a little late, I want to be on prenatal asap, we aren't trying for another at all, but I'm not on BC😂)

To answer your question about eggs, for me (a 5 year vegan for animal ethics reasons) the process of collecting eggs seems harmless. But in reality, these hens are kept in wire cages their entire life and in the most cruel conditions. They were genetically modified to over-produce eggs, which really is not good for them, and causes them to live a shortened life. Hope this can shed some light as to why many vegans don’t eat eggs 😁

[@RealBradMiller]

Yeah, even cage free eggs doesn't mean they get to roam free or have a good life. I adopted four chicks, and I hope they enjoyed their lives, they were free roaming, and all lived to nearly eight years old. Goofy as heck, the lot of them, and one hen would constantly try and check me and show me who was boss. 😂

[@redbunny22]

Just a hypothetical because I'm curious. Would you eat eggs from someones backyard hens if they where treated well? If not I am not judging I am just wondering. I am not vegan but I am appalled at factory farming and am trying to move towards not having to buy any food I don't consider ethica,l but it is very difficult as even commercially farmed vegetables kill an incredible amount of animals in order to grow them, and well soy is one of the worst. So it feels like a loosing battle all around.

[@RealBradMiller]

@@redbunny22 why is soy the worst? I could see all kinds of animals and stuff making home in any crop.

[@redbunny22]

@@RealBradMiller deer love soy and wont leave it alone commercial soy farms hire people to keep watch and shoot the deer then they just dispose of them. if you look into it they kill a tremendous amount of deer for a soy crop. I forget how many on average but i remember it is a lot. That's on top of all the moles voles mice and birds that get tilled up and ground up alive by the combine when they prep the fields. If you watch a combine in the field you can see scavengers running behind it to get all the free grub. sometimes you can actually hear animals scream as it hits them if you are close enough.

[@BubblyVegan]

​@redbunny22 Personally, as a vegan I wouldn't eat eggs from a backyard hen but if you wanted to it is better than supporting factory farms. However small farms wouldn't be able to meet the demand if everyone switched to small farms. The reason factory farms exist is for amount and efficiency because people eat so many animal products. Also most of the world's soy is fed to farm animals like cattle so eating soy is better for the environment and saves more animals than eating animals, if that makes sense.

what joe is talking about is called highway hypnosis. its actually quite common, especially for longer drives.

[@madsbbyy]

i got this a lot in college, it was terrifying!! it’s been over 5 years since then, and i’m just now getting comfortable driving for longer than 30 minutes again

I honestly tended to think it was just a common form of disassociation.

I have a high pain tolerance, but a kidney stone had me crying on the floor, throwing up non-stop and thinking I was about to die. Stay hydrated, guys! 😘

[@endmundestroyer]

same, never felt anything like that. I was 17 when i got mine thought it was my appendix because of how awful i felt i couldn’t even walk to the car LOL

[@Nicoleemariaaa]

I haven’t had a kidney stone but I did have gallstones. It was worse than giving birth! So I can only imagine is just as bad or worse since some people pass them where you can’t pass a gallstone. I just had to get my gallbladder removed.

Love Joe and love Morgan! Great episode! 🙌🥰 Morgan crying halfway through….so classic 😂😂

[@girlonfire8855]

Incredible podcast!!! Don't get me wrong, super fucking disturbing on every level! But having Joe as a guest was everything! The chemistry was amazing, and they seemed like they had been friends forever (minus the fact that Morgan didn't seem to know almost anything about him... yet the way in which they were talking was like they were old friends!). Really great and entertaining collaboration! I hope that it happens again!

@@intergalactic-losernot trying to be annoying, but isn’t that technically pescatarian? I thought pescatarians ate fish and white meat. I could 100% be wrong, but I’m honestly trying to figure it out!

@@intergalactic-loservegetarians don’t eat any kind of meat (beef, chicken, fish, veal, lamb etc). Source- ex vegetarian.

[@boghiutza]

In many Asian cultures, and maybe South America, they don't consider chicken or fish as meat. Maybe that's why she was confused. Just like the people who say pescatarians would eat chicken 🤭 Maybe it just makes more sense to me because I speak some latin languages. Fish would be: pescado, peixe, peşte etc, that's where the term comes from.

[@AdorableOracle]

@@alyssa-mariedetterich6176 I thought pescatarians only eat fish/seafood! Not poultry

i love how chatty this episode is!! love the reddit stories but also love getting to know you and the guest better! one of my favorites :)

[@redrider5118]

As soon as they started talking about dipping sauces, I knew Joe was bringing up dipping pita in ketchup 😂

[@magicpigeon_]

7:05 if you want to know why people don’t eat eggs- so the problem with eggs is that the egg industry is horrendous and the chickens used for eggs are trapped in cramped tiny cages or crammed in super over crowded rooms (usually their beaks and toes get cut off so they can’t peck or scratch each other) with terrible food and a horrible life. They get slaughtered as soon as their egg production slows down (usually when they are 2 or 3 years old, which is still very young for a chicken) and the male babies are killed immediately since they can’t produce eggs. Also domestic chickens have been bred to WAY over produce eggs and it is terribly unhealthy for them (like having a period every day of your life).

[@jade-qi8ot]

my jaw dropped when I saw this upload. Joe was one of my OG crushes back in the day lmfao. I made everyone i know watch his videos. def an unexpected collab
