on one hand, you're like, it's this whole slew of things, and then it's going on for so long, it sounds so crazy.
speaker_1HOST
36:52
You're like, is half of it Munchausen? Like, what is going on here? You know? Yeah.
speaker_0HOST
36:57
How much of it is, like, the injections and the fillers and...
speaker_1HOST
37:00
yeah just kind of self-induced and like just
Vic MattisGUEST
37:57
At least we can say we told you so.
Kurt SchlichterHOST
37:59
Well, Vic, I see this troubling trend of a certain kind of woman sacrificing her children on the altar of wokeness, whether it's abortion, whether it's supporting Lindsay Clancy, who literally sacrificed them, whether it's these Munchausen mommies who support the mutilation of their kids because, well, he looked at a Barbie cross-eyed once.
Kurt SchlichterHOST
38:24
And then this.
Kurt SchlichterHOST
38:26
They're willing to allow active harm to their children so they can be seen as conforming to this kind of woke leftist ideology.
Kurt SchlichterGUEST
62:56
There are manifestly great things going on, and this doom and gloom nonsense, Andrew, I'm so tired of it.
Kurt SchlichterGUEST
63:04
"Oh, Trump isn't doing everything I want, so I'm gonna vote for the guys who wanna castrate kids, uh, so that their Munchausen mommies can, you know, be, be, be excited about catering to their gender delusions." It doesn't make any sense.
Kurt SchlichterGUEST
63:20
It's ridiculous.
Kurt SchlichterGUEST
63:21
We've got to keep fighting.
Matilda AldridgeGUEST
45:36
And I did consider that.
Matilda AldridgeGUEST
45:37
I did consider like, is this a Munchausen situation? Am I like willing her to be sick so I can take care of her? I don't know.
Matilda AldridgeGUEST
45:45
And ultimately, like I just I began to write it down to be like, let me just like put the facts down on paper.
Matilda AldridgeGUEST
45:54
And it just felt undeniable.
Kurt SchlichterHOST
29:51
We have women explaining that not only is Lindsay Clancy to be pitied, but how dare her husband divorce her after she murdered their three kids.
Kurt SchlichterHOST
30:02
And of course, we have the Munchausen mommies who want to carve up their kids to cater to their gender delusions.
Kurt SchlichterHOST
30:10
I don't see this with conservative women.
Kurt SchlichterHOST
30:12
I mean, you know, I'm married to one.
BascomPANELIST
18:39
'Cause I was like, is it Munchausers? But no, that-
Peter RosenbergHOST
18:42
Munchausen.
Peter RosenbergHOST
18:42
What's Munchausen?
BascomPANELIST
18:43
That Munchausen by proxy, but that's when you love someone who is doing damage to you.
Peter RosenbergHOST
18:48
Oh, that's Munchausen?
BascomPANELIST
18:49
Yeah.
Peter RosenbergHOST
18:49
It's a hell of a name for a thing, by the way.
Peter RosenbergHOST
18:51
Munchausen.
MariahGUEST
26:53
She is, to me, one of...
MariahGUEST
26:55
There's something about her, I'm like, "That is the Housewife." And what I don't get why people don't spend more time with is when Lisa Rinna was accusing her of having Munchausen.
MariahGUEST
27:06
And the whole season, Yolanda couldn't wrap her head around Munchausen or even how to say it, and was just constantly saying, like, "Hauschenmauschen." I say that in my head, like, a tick all of the time, because it was such a crazy storyline on all sides, and no one coming to one accord.
MariahGUEST
27:25
That, to me, I think is kind of peak Beverly Hills, because it's...
MariahGUEST
27:30
They're still quite kooky, but it's high-end kooky, accusing this woman of fake...
speaker_1UNKNOWN
19:17
Right.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
19:17
We're referring to Munchausen syndrome.
Manaan KarrayHOST
19:19
Munchausen, right.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
19:21
The term was coined in 1951 by the British endocrinologist Richard Asher.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
19:45
Exactly.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
19:46
Asher observed a subset of patients who presented to hospitals telling equally dramatic, captivating, and entirely untruthful stories about their medical histories.
Manaan KarrayHOST
19:55
But the textbook is very specific that Munchausen syndrome is not just a synonym for factitious disorder.
Manaan KarrayHOST
20:00
It's not a catch-all term.
Hugh McGuireNARRATOR
48:09
The desire for freedom of will in the superlative metaphysical sense, such as still holds sway, unfortunately, in the minds of the half-educated, the desire to bear the entire and ultimate responsibility for one's actions oneself, and to absolve God, the world, ancestors, chance, and society therefrom, involves nothing less than to be precisely this causa sui.
Hugh McGuireNARRATOR
48:36
And with more than Munchausen daring to pull oneself up into existence by the hair out of the slough of nothingness.
Hugh McGuireNARRATOR
48:45
If anyone should find out in this manner the crass stupidity of the celebrated conception of free will and put it out of his head altogether, I beg of him to carry his enlightenment a step further and also put out of his head the contrary of this monstrous conception of free will.
Hugh McGuireNARRATOR
49:04
I mean non-free will, which is tantamount to a misuse of cause and effect.
WilcoxHOST
18:56
What's the thing where you fall in love with your captor? Stockholm.
WilcoxHOST
18:59
Stockholm, not Munchausen.
WilcoxHOST
19:01
I always forget what those two syndromes are.
WilcoxHOST
19:03
But yeah, so we've Stockholmed you is obviously what's happened.
