Summary

“Boys will be boys” is, it turns out, a tale as old as time. We run through several historical examples of little boys f*cking sh*t up just for the fun of it, from a kid who started a full blown political riot because he wanted free candy to a drunk stable boy who decided to Ricky Bobby it and ride a chariot onto the track mid-race. Rob’s wife and #boymom Courtney Fox joins the show.
