Mini-sode: Cartoon Love
Episodes with Gio coming THIS WEEK. We talk so much I haven't been able to edit them down to manageable episodes. I promise!!
I spoke to fictophile/fictosexual Cait Calder about what it’s like to have a fictional crush.
When I first talked about fictosexuality over at UnHerd, I got a lot of pushback: Why does this need to be labeled? Don’t all women do this?
To some extent, sure. The success of Twilight and Fifty Shades is illustrative. Before that, Stephen King wrote an entire book about women's tendency to fall in love not only with fictional characters but with fiction itself—Misery. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth both labeling and exploring. I’m not of the school of thought that the exercise of labeling these more fringe expressions of sexuality is excessive or decadent. If I’ve learned anything from being Terminally Online, it’s that most of these things aren’t “fake.” They’re unconventional and our language hasn’t caught up the way even television has impacted people’s emotional landscapes.
Online dating, objectum sexuality (when you fall in love with an object, like a robot or a rollercoaster), the limerence of writers like Dante Alighieri, fandom, divine devotion, and fictophilia all exist on a spectrum.
What are the contours of that spectrum, though? “Loneliness” isn’t a good enough answer. I’m still figuring it out.
When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong
In the celebration of Pride happening during the month of June, a hot topic comes across the Gents to start this episode of the podcast. EstoBro stumbles upon an article written by Esquire (2:55) that explains the concept of 'fictosexual' and how they are celebrated by the LGBTQIA+ community. After the cold open, EstoBro welcomes TV back from Germany and gets right into it with a victory celebrated by the video game community. The late coach and legend of football, John Madden, was selected to appear on the cover of the infamous video game his name is on (15:25) as the Gents celebrate the great Madden NFL franchise. EstoBro and TV definitely go down the rabbit hole on talking all things video games (26:00), and how the state of their play is gamers as they embrace their 30s. An interesting topic regarding fantasy sports (42:05), the title of the episode explains the fallout on what happened between professional baseball players Tommy Pham and Joc Pederson with their fantasy football league last year. The Gents also point their attention of an update of the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with full favoritism of the local team and the Tampa Bay Lightning (50:00). It has been a while since EstoBro and TV had the munchies during the podcast (65:05), so they definitely talk shop on how summer is here and how grilling season is in full effect. EstoBro also wants to enable the fact that the grilled chicken sandwich should make a contending effort to represent in the 'Chicken Sandwich Wars,' yet TV wants to enable the fact that more sandwiches needs to be included in this gastronomic extravaganza!

Drinking Your Own Pee is Good for You, Parent-Teacher Conferences with a Carnie, Buy Some Invisible Art, Fictosexual Software Development, Shocker: Electricity Can Kill You
We're drinking Martini's again, which succeeded in making Tom REALLY drunk. We first talk about a man who drinks his own pee. We then talk about the world's most terrifying teacher. An Art Collector buys a very expensive receipt from invisible art shows from the 50's. We did not know that "Fictosexuals" are really a thing. We close out the show with TWID: "Fractal Wood Burning" and its various dangers.
