  1. Thirst Traps

    5 DAYS AGO

    Thirst Traps

    We know what boys like, we know what guys want. And that is plausible deniability. Out of the diaristic “artful nudes” of 2010s body positivity, to the horny-on-main boredom of the pandemic, has come a new era in which the “thirst trap” as we once knew it has been thrown into question. In this episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the thirst trap: a delicate art, a science, if you will, of showing hole online, and the ways that our culture has begun to reject it. Based on a comprehensive and definitely 100% accurate study of instagram users conducted by Hannah, the girls unpack a series of shocking discoveries that will have people of all genders and sexual persuasions scratching their heads. Have yearnin' and pinin' really killed the thirst trap? Tangents include: Euphoria season three, and Vinnie Hacker and the giga surf chads.  Our Sponsors: * Check out Quince: https://quince.com/rehash * Check out Ruggable and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://ruggable.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

  2. Seeking Arrangements

    4 MAY

    Seeking Arrangements

    Today, male virgins inject peptides into their asses, dissociate on Kick, and disavow women. But twenty years ago, they simply took matters into their own hands and developed websites where they could BUY women! The year was 2006, and Brandon Wade, chud of the first order and master of self-written puff pieces, decided enough was enough and developed Seeking Arrangements - a sugar babying website where wealthy older men could meet broke younger women. It’s a site most women have visited at least once, or twice, or three times, in their most destitute college years. One that has all the sexual suggestiveness, intimacy, and transactionality of sex work but with less of the stigma. But, like OnlyFans, Seeking Arrangements has attempted to distance itself from all sexual connotations in recent years, posing instead as a “luxury dating site.” In this episode, Hannah and Maia look back on Seeking Arrangements’ heyday. They discuss the extreme theatre of heterosexual dating dynamics, and ask whether Wade was right that all little girls dream of finding a man with a high paying job, or if the site simply found its popularity alongside crumbling social infrastructure. Tangents include: Hannah’s floaters, the real definition of “aura farming,” and Feeld’s new “goofy Twink” option.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic Our Sponsors: * Check out Quince: https://quince.com/rehash * Check out Ruggable and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://ruggable.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

  3. Bonnie Blue

    27 APR

    Bonnie Blue

    It didn’t seem possible, but Britain has finally found a woman more reviled than Queen Camila Parker Bowles. With the face of a Love Island contestant and the business savvy of PT Burnam, OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue drives around England in a blue van and beckons barely legal virgins to bang her on camera. On top of banging virgins, banging virgins and their dads, in 2025 she also set out to break a mind melting record of sleeping with 1000 men in 24 hours. She succeeded. In this episode, Hannah and Maia discuss the backlash surrounding Bonnie Blue, and whether she really is stretching parasociality to its logical limits, or reflecting our own hypocrisy back to us with a rather sophisticated brand of ragebait. As hundreds of men in shiesties cue up for their thirty seconds of fame, one has to ask whether Bonnie has created an entirely new specimen: the sex hype beast. Better yet, is Bonnie Blue the Mr. Beast of sex work? Tangents include: Lena Dunham’s new memoir and Australian bus memes.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic Our Sponsors: * Check out Quince: https://quince.com/rehash * Check out Ruggable and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://ruggable.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

    Gooners (ft. Daniel Kolitz)

    Imagine: a reality where p*rn becomes so ubiquitous it invents its own sexuality. Just kidding, you’re living it. If you live under a rock and haven’t stumbled across Daniel Kolitz’s groundbreaking Harper’s piece, “The Goon Squad,” it’s time to catch you up. Gooners are a niche subculture inhabiting the internet’s moist-est corners, who have surrendered themselves to the art of m*asturbating. They make their own folk art called goonfuel and dwell in their own little gooncaves. Many gooners also allegedly enter the community straight, but unlock a “latent queerness within” through communal phallus worship and tender homosocial encouragement. In this episode, Hannah and Maia, joined by Daniel, ask whether gooning is something to nervously laugh at and move on, or take seriously as a symptom of the times. Through the sweet pain of total self-debasement and chasing the ecstatic abyss, gooners organize themselves around a digital New Religion. They also, however, press a frightening question: is the internet simply a seductive Siren, calling us all to go spiralling down the pleasure pit of self-annihilation? Tangents include: Hannah and Maia’s friend Jojo’s really good cooking, American Love Story, and women in GOON.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic Sources: Samantha Cole, “Enter the Goon Cave, Where Porn and Masturbation Is All That Exists,” Vice (2023).

  5. Clavicular

    13 APR

    Clavicular

    Clavicular. The James Joyce of incel forums. The icarus of looksmaxxing. The Truman Burbank of Kick. The sleep paralysis bouncer of every fifteen year old’s dreams. The sex symbol of 2026? Welcome back to another season of sex on the internet, where Hannah and Maia issue a formal apology for being the nth cultural critics to try a definitive take on the least compelling man of the hour. Clavicular became a media darling after singing Kanye’s “Heil H*tler” at the club, intentionally hitting a man with his cybertruck, yelling the n word into restaurants, and doing the rounds at NYFF. But what he really wants to be known for are his extreme beauty practices, so gender affirming in nature he may have closed the circle on misogyny - the walking answer to: “fellas, is it gay to f*ck a woman?” As Clavicular ascends into his desired state as a hard bodied Chad but nihilistically neuters himself in the process, has he finally realized RS Benedict’s thesis: everyone is beautiful, and no one is horny? Tangents include: Lindy West and the polycule from hell, and SNL as the Vegas residency of comedy.  Support us on Patreon and get juicy bonus content: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast⁠ Intro and outro song by our talented friend Ian Mills: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ianmillsmusic Our Sponsors: * Check out Quince: https://quince.com/rehash * Check out Ruggable and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://ruggable.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

    Italian Brainrot (teaser)

    From the anus of TikTok comes a version of slop so wacky, so delightfully dumb, so… Italian (???), that its managed to win the hearts of every iPad kid around the world. Introducing: Italian Brainrot, the latest AI craze of anthropomorphic hybrid creatures with Italo-gibberish names and salacious lore that your littlest cousin probably filled you in on over the holidays. If you scroll through Jstor you’ll find tons of articles philosophizing such beloved stock characters as Ballerina Cappuccina, Tralalero Tralala, and Tung Tung Tung Sahur. Scholars attempting to get to the bottom of their fundamental tension: are they Dadaist works of art reacting to the chaos of these fascist times, or are they fascist in and of themselves, predetermined for cooption by right wing edge lords? In this bonus episode, Hannah and Maia discuss Italian Brainrot and ask: why children? Why Italy? And why do we kind of f*ck with Ballerina Cappuccina?

    Emojis

    Born from a Japanese tech arms race and immortalized in Fred Benenson’s 2009 masterwork “Emoji Dick,” the emoji has become a staple of the way we communicate. Such that the Oxford dictionary named the cry-laugh emoji its word of the year in 2015. Whether you’d like to convey complex feelings such as “pweeeese” or embellish the end of a dry text message, it’s rare that these little symbols would not make at least one appearance in our daily text conversations. And, like most internet artifacts, early adopters of the emoji believed it had the potential to completely collapse the barriers of language and finally realize McLuhan’s predictions of a “global village.” But is that really so? In this finale episode Hannah and Maia discuss the history of the emoji and all its supposed utopian potential. Tangents include: the unasked-for details of Hannah and Maia’s long-awaited reunion, Canadian mennonite literature, and Hannah’s own personal version of the internet, the Web 1.5.

    Hacktivism

    Call them what you will: hactivists, cypherpunks, phone phreaks, e-bandits… these digital vigilantes may be the last bastions of hope in an Information Age where information is not dispersed equally. Growing from a group of pranksters at MIT in the 50s to the “ultra-coordinated mother-f*ckery” of Anonymous and WikiLeaks today, hactivism uses information technologies to achieve political objectives. With their hyper-sophisticated coding skills, hacktivists do everything from leaking classified documents, to providing oppressed citizenry with military grade encryption. They believe that access to computers should be total, that information should be free, and that anarchy reigns supreme. But ever since Chelsea Manning was discovered smuggling over 400k U.S military documents in a Lady Gaga CD case on behalf of WikiLeaks and governments really began cracking down on these hackers, it became clear that maybe the internet wasn’t the anarchic utopia we thought it was. Tangents include: Maia’s primal hatred of Spotify wrapped, The internet’s unfounded hatred of Geese, and Hannah’s dream of putting Maia on WikiFeet.
