    Perez Hilton (teaser)

    You’re twelve. You just got back from a horrific pool party where the boys made fun of your swimsuit. You also just got the news that Michael Jackson died. How are you going to self-soothe? Well, light up that family desktop computer and read some Perez Hilton of course. In his prime, Perez Hilton was something like the Little Finger of Hollywood. Keep him close and he’ll get you into Hyde Lounge, cross him and he’ll share a upskirt photo of you for all the internet to see with a crude drawing of a dick hitting you in the forehead. In this bonus episode, Hannah and Maia discuss Perez Hilton’s meteoric rise into the stratosphere of populist, venomous gossip blogging, and his equally meteoric downfall on the much different internet of today. But one has to ask whether the internet is really as different today as it appears? It seems the guilt of Perez’s shameful past has infiltrated his unconscious and sent him spiralling in a violent and very public crash out. But is the public’s glee at his demise really a fitting punishment to his crimes? Or is Perez simply the golem of an equally venomous public? Tangents include: Maia being the resident bitch of Rehash, and Hannah’s dream show: Vanderpump Rules in Space.  Full episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/rehashpodcast/posts/bonus-perez-171020042 Our Sponsors: * Check out Quince and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://www.quince.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

    Ashley Madison

    Shakespeare, Picasso, Tom Sandoval… what do these luminaries have in common? Well, reader. They were cheaters. Adultery has been a flash point on the internet for some time now - from Ned Fulmer, to Couch Guy, to that couple at the Coldplay concert, people seem to hold particular venom for those who get caught cheating. So it’s hard to believe that only a couple decades ago, there was a dating site dedicated to the act of cheating. In this finale episode, Hannah and Maia revisit the phenomenon that was Ashley Madison, a service developed in Toronto where those looking for infidelity could find a parent in crime with the click of a button. But after a massive data breach, broken marriages, and even deaths - Ashley Madison fell quickly from “grace.” In the years since Ashley Madison’s users were doxxed and shamed, even since Hester Prynne was brandished with a scarlet “A,” one has to wonder why this age-old act has not received more nuance as society has progressed. What is cheating, what even is romantic love, and have we given both of these things a little too much power? Tangents include: Toronto girl summer, Drake as the groundhog from Groundhog Day, sage advice from the oracle Esther Perel.  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 and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://www.quince.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

    The Bop House

    Sex has become so ubiquitous online that now men pay NOT to see it. One of the internet’s recent perplexities is one such case: The Bop House, a hype house inhabited a bunch of barely legal looking, jeggings-swaddled Only Fans models with two first names. Who inhabit empty mansions and who also, most importantly, do not show hole. Its founder is Sophie Rain, a “totemic figure” among horny online men, one of the highest aid Only Fans models working today, and a self-proclaimed virgin who is “wiping away the stigma of sex work” by taking sex out of the equation altogether. Most confounding, the Bop House girls suck their thumbs, shake their butts, and wear onesies for an audience not only of men, but also swaths of young girls. Broadcasting from Polyester Studios in London, Hannah and Maia question their own instincts to dislike the women of the Bop House. Why is there such a high incidence of “baby mode” among younger Gen Z? Is this another instance of Olivia Rodrigo babydoll dress gate? And can one really infantilize oneself? Tangents include: Hannah and Maia’s ancestral tour of Ireland and the UK and Kamryn Renae, Miss Pacific Crest Trail.  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 and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://www.quince.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

    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 and use my code REHASH for a great deal: https://www.quince.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
