3223: 2020 24-Hour Marathon: The Gootz w/ Sarah, Wendi, and Ray

[Deehydrated]

I'm a 36 year old woman, fyi, and have to say - What a gross episode.
Ray nailed it - at times, Chemda does make a snap judgement and then lose all sense of objectivity and irony whilst she attempts to nail someone to the narrative she has decided upon for them. Patrick Schroder is a great example of another guest that she does this with. It makes for unbearable listening.
I don't know much about Ray, I have only heard both his eps on KATG but I have listened to over 150 hours of Pat on podcasts and the way Chemda treats him really limits the potential of the ep.
Keith, Chemda and Wendy were ridiculing and mocking Ray for a good hour before he spoke up and it was still a pretty modest and fair reaction given the treatment he had endured.
As Chemda says herself - if its hysterical, its historical. So maybe she needs to do some reflecting and processing of why she takes such great offence to the fact that he hangs out with younger women.
Perhaps he does this because developmentally hes pretty young himself and would have way more in common with them then a woman his age.
There are guests with far more egregious traits that she happily overlooks or laughs WITH them about (not at them, like Ray endured).
Chemda's ignorance and bias makes for truly difficult listening at times.

Why do you still bother to listen?

Because I'm an adult capable of critical thought. I can be a fan of something whilst not agreeing with every aspect. I've listened to over 500 episodes and have felt the way described in my original post only a handful or two times. So tha's some good odds. However, I will always speak up if I feel someone is being targeted or treated unfairly.
The reason I find those episodes so frustrating is because I know Chemda is capable of way more.

Do Keith and Wendi get a pass to make fun of Ray because they aren't Chemda? I'm not sure why you're not as mad at them.

More Gootz & Wendi please!!!!
I'm begging here.

If I had the money I would pay tens of thousands to hear this!

Yeah why would grown adult women be weirded out by a 38 year old man only hanging out with 19-24 year old girls and paying 5k to have a woman fuck him, and then bitching about her not giving him the girlfriend experience?

I’m Team Deehydrated. I want to know you.

This ep left me speechless. Ironic that it finally got me to post something in the forums. I was an awkward kid that didn't know how to talk to girls and now I'm an awkward adult who doesn't know how to talk to women (I do it anyway..). Maybe that's why I disliked this guy so much on his first appearance. After listening to this I have a bit more compassion for the Gootz, but... oof.

This is extra weird because I'm a KATG virgin of sorts, having had so much I would have liked to add to so many varied discussions over the years but never speaking up, mostly out of laziness. I'm all backed up!

Ggllghuhhhhh! (Insert cum face)

Thank God that didn't cost me five grand.

I've listened to the show regularly since 2007 but haven't been on the forums in about ten years. It took this episode to bring me back here. Hello forums!

And I married him anyway, so there is hope, well, if you think being married to me is hopeful and not some kind of punishment.

The jury's still out. I've heard about you, Apia!
