#147 - Masculinity

🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODE Episode 147 – Masculinity In this episode, Andy and Roger wrestle with the increasingly loaded topic of masculinity—by way of a truly abysmal SBS panel show. What begins as a gripe about ChatGPT hallucinations quickly detours into Australia’s recognition of Palestine, the political symbolism of foreign policy, and whether Hamas sends thank-you hampers. The heart of the episode is a takedown of The Feed’s “Men Debate Masculinity”, a chaotic attempt at televised discourse featuring six blokes flapping about discussing body counts, domestic violence, and purity culture. Andy brands it “The Room” of conversations”, a reference to the infamous worst movie of all time; Roger wonders whether this dysfunctional mess is actually a faithful reflection of how men interact online. From gym bros to schoolyard sexism, to garbage duty, the hosts dissect the social expectations surrounding gender—and question how much of masculinity is performance, status, or just genetic dice rolls.
