Summary

This week James buys a second-hand car while Toby has a mundane weekend and contemplates masculinity, which prompts a discussion on the release of Andrew Tate from jail and why he’s acquired cult status among adolescent males (in spite of being a less than stellar advert for masculinity) and James wishes that he were a more ‘manly man.’

Of course there's the Trump indictment and whether the former President uses the word ‘INDICATED’ deliberately to troll the libs; plus the Overton Window and whether Toby outside of it or not.

In Culture Corner, the films 65 (Sony Entertainment), The Boston Strangler (Hulu in the US, Disney+ in the UK), as well as the TV shows Succession, Rabbit Hole and War Sailor (Netflix).

Opening sound this week is remarks by Andrew Tate after being released from prison.
