Episode 149 – Taylor and Tyler

It was bound to happen. Two 40-year-old men discuss Taylor Swift's engagement and the surrounding cultural fallout—from heteronormative nostalgia to conspiracy theories about psyops and Super Bowl brand strategy. They discuss the backlash among younger fans, the cheerleader–quarterback trope, and the strangely polarising nature of Swift’s mass appeal.

The episode then detours into a Brisbane boys’ trip featuring meat, souvenir t-shirts, and an impromptu casino lesson in regret. Roger reflects on maturing friendships, while Andy admits to having multiple showers a day. They close with reflections on parenting and live music culture, sparked by Andy's chaperoning stint at a Tyler the Creator concert filled with 13-year-olds, mosh pits, and explicit lyrics.
