You're listening to The Michael Shermer Show. My guest today, you're not gonna believe this. It's gonna be one of the most interesting shows I've had. Here is her book Wink Wink Nudge Nudge. Sexual exploits?

And secrets from inside a sugar daddy website. Uh She knows because she was in the inside first as a sugar baby and then as a I guess working in the PR department and cr recruitment and so on, until she wised up and figured out what was going on. Brooke, nice to see you. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for writing this book, by the way. Oh, thank you, and thanks for having me. I'm interested to talk to a scientist.

Well, yeah. Uh, I think there is actually a lot of science that we can bring into the discussion about male, female differences in our evolved sexual psychology. But before we get into all that Um what's your story? Uh I mean I asked this of all guests, but yours is particularly interesting.
