Episode 7: Some Kind of Fa**ot Upside Down Cake - Boris Johnson's 72 Virgins

from Old Boys Book Club · host Andrew Mole and Jonny Lennard

As we delve deeper into Johnson's mind, the insight we glean is ever more devastating.Chapters 18 and 19 bring us a disturbing vision of an ideal date, and what does, or doesn't, constitute homosexual behaviour in the mind of a young, female, neo-con. Plus, an archaic take on the role of hormones in diminishing the rationale capabilities of the female mind.And a total misunderstanding of the role in television aerials in military radio communication. It's as vintage OBBC as the smell of the Jag's freshly wiped-down leather.--Join the Old Boys Book Club - a weekly reading group led by Jonny and Andy, Anthropologists by training, cynics by choice, determined to understand one of modern societies oldest (and most incongruous) tropes - the Old Boy.We have reached peak 'Old Boy' with Johnson, Trump, Farage et al leading the world towards a leather-clad man cave of environmental catastrophe. But what exactly is an Old Boy?In what will almost certainly be called the pinnacle of modern satire, but is as yet unreviewed, Jonny and Andy introduce the world to Old Boy after Old Boy in the best way they know: by decoding the literature they have willingly created.

Bad idea? Explicit The Boys Josh The Boys podcast is hosted by Josh Dziekan and co hosted by Luke Bouse. We talk about current news topics and anything else we feel like. Explicit Tales From The Rabbit Hole Mick West Tales from the Rabbit Hole is an interview-style podcast focusing on people whose lives have been affected by the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit
