Pity me, for I watched the entire of the latest Dollcast. The hosts have absolutely no chemistry, when it's just them chatting amongst themselves it's so dreary. You don't even get the impression they even like each other very much. It really makes me realise how much heavy lifting the other hosts were doing on Wu's former podcasts. Oh, and I hate, HAAAATE that faux empathy noise Wu makes ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It really creeps me out. Wu's always talking about how she's going out to lunch with unnamed female friends, but I think we can take it as read that Wu has very few interactions with women because otherwise she'd have modelled them, and nobody on earth makes those awful sounds.
Anyway, key takeaways:
1) Wu's delusional self-aggrandisement is on full display. So much talk about how she's a leader, had such a glittering career, how she's so adventurous... I can never tell if Wu actually believes these things or if she's just putting on a front. Either way it's nuts.
2) Wu spent a lot of time talking about doing therapeutic ketamine. Apparently it has enabled her to look within her very core and truly understand who she is, which sounds absolutely terrifying if who you really are is Wu. Apparently for Wu her supposed core drive was "to be a woman", which makes me think the therapy was a waste of time for Wu at least. Amongst this drug's other miraculous effects it apparently turned Wu 100% heterosexual, as well as entirely put her off gaming for life.... which, er...
h
Bitch, please. I'm sure if Wu hadn't locked down all her various gaming profiles we'd see the same old pattern of buying every new release as it came out, playing it for five minutes then moving on to the next distraction.
It's very clear Wu is profoundly clinically depressed, and that depression hasn't responded to any of the usual treatments, hence the ketamine. The inability to concentrate and to complete tasks to deadline are classic symptoms. You'd think if Wu really did get in touch with her core drives, acknowledging the profound need for attention would be a really good start in getting better. Wu has no need for money, literally anything is open as an option. If Wu were to just stop the quixotic quest to "be someone" and go study to be a photographer, or a pinball wizard, or just do anything out of the public eye it would go a really long way to getting mentally healthy.
3) Wu told a story about going to LA recently (recently is relative to the months that have gone by since this was recorded) and being hit on by many men, including a "20 out of 10" man who was charmed by Wu's knowledge of Porsches. That man's name was Albert Einstein.
4) There was absolutely no reason to have Richard Han-however-you-spell-his-name on as a guest. They didn't really have a topic, just chit-chat. It did help with the listenability though, because he can actually talk and isn't completely insufferable. Wu tried to get him to give her an entree into the whitehouse to talk to Trump. because I'm sure the president always makes time for crazy internet trannies.
5) Wu apparently likes men with no body hair. Make of that what you will.
Also, I didn't realise that two of the four troons are onlyfans dickgirls. Apparently they send Wu their porn. Yeeesh. God, I hope they don't inspire Wu to start an onlyfans, I don't need that seared in to my brain.
