Jaq and Andy’s Thoughts On Stuff

This episode Jack and Andy travel.... not very far due to unforeseen divergences. In our attempt to discuss travel, because we frequently divert to it, we have, naturally, diverted almost immediately away from it. Instead we stood in the driveway chatting about how much work is too much work, is too much alcohol the problem and why do we keep getting too much of one story...Oh well, may's well just go back inside and try again another day.

This week we're dropping the pre-tense and just talking about Japanese 2D media (watch this space for an episode entirely dedicated to travelling in Japan). We do of course deviate away from anime and manga... and deviate back again. But in between we discuss, make-up, tiktok, age perception and other highly vital and important topics... yeah no, not really.

We were into K-Pop before it was cool,... of course a lot of people still don't think it is but those people are wrong. Join us in our hazy recollections of 10yr old but strident assertion that K-Pop artists are cute and sexy in all of the right ways, especially BTS... and BigBang. From there we discuss the differences between K & J drama, mental health concerns, Zombies, BL and general irritations. Just the usual. 

Our journey continues as we dive head first into science literacy only to discover that Jaq can't spell LGBTQI+ and Andy assumes Jaq must know these things and says nuthin'. But not before we've detoured through schooling standards, childhood stress, eating habits and gay frogs. Yes, as usual, we get lost in the seas of conversation but come out...still kinda soggy to be honest. 

Our journey this day begins with the dangerous topic of anime before diverging quickly into an assortment of delectable diatribes and then coming back round to the concerning content of "Beastars", Jaq's problematic romance aversion and Andy's determined defence of it. We also talk a lot about effective communication. 

In our second episode we fully accept our rambling tendencies and talk about a range of topics with no clear theme or direction. We talk about climate change, politics, how we value the employed and unemployed. There's no knowing where we're going... much like that creepy boat in Willy Wonka.

Contains even more swearing and cockatoos.

Small edit (that we forgot to put in the recording)...the unemployed man in Melbourne pays his rent fortnightly, not weekly...

In our first episode we are discussing A Promising Young Woman, a 2020 film about society's approach to women's potential, victim-blaming culture and revenge. We'll be talking about those topics... and others, because we go off on tangents like they're the road less travelled.
Contains swearing.
