  • 12 - FUCKED:... by Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson
    Mar 27 2020

    Season finale! Amanda B. (@AmandaJBermudez) and Rony J. (@ronyphat) try and distract you from the fact that this is only the fourth female-written book they've done out of 12, with a book by TWO ladies: FUCKED: BEING SEXUALLY EXPLORATIVE AND SELF-CONFIDENT IN A WORLD THAT'S SCREWED by Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson. It's like-- feminism, but make it fashun. Along that runway, discover...

    Alt clit-lit is a thing, right?
    Heartworm pills and peanut buttle.
    At-home workouts.
    BYO Blanket fort - Diagram here.
    I hope Amanda's 6th grade yearbook doesn't have a faculty section, or someone's iiiiiiin trouble.
    Who's on your Mount Rushmore of fictional U.S. Presidents?
    Where ChatRoulette at?
    Dicks! YIKES!
    (No but fr the #dickdigression in this episode is lengthy.)
    La. CROY. NOT a discussion.
    BREAKING: Rony is not Drake.
    Help us get to a million downloads! I mean, as if we're not there already, pshhh.

    There's nothing out of the ordinary surrounding this episode that was recorded in March 2020! Nothing at all, just a totally normal day on planet Earth doing evergreen content 😁

    RURTHER FEEDING:
    Do you know how hard it is to find a useful link to a book that's not the Amazon page? Jeff is making enough $ from quarantine season, he don't need our help 🙃

    Guys We Fucked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast

    TPBC Episode 7 - The Psychopath Test
    TPBC Episode 10 - Kristy's Mystery Admirer

    "Are Women More Emotional than Men?" Social Psychology and Human Nature, Comprehensive Edition, By Roy F. Baumeister, Brad J. Bushman, p. 185 (Google it, inserting the link murdered our character count.)

    It WAS The Atlantic: "The Confidence Gap" by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman, May 2014.

    D2B, by Problem (feat. Bad Lucc and The Homegirl)

    Listen. It's hard to list anything when you're put on the spot. If he'd been asked about female-fronted emo and hardcore bands at a casual Sunday Tea, Rony would've rattled off The Pretty Reckless, In This Moment, Halestorm, Evanescence, friggin Babymetal, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Flyleaf, Veruca Salt, Sleigh Bells, Paramore, and Hey Violet, knowingly leaving out straight-up punk and alt bands like Hole, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wolf Alice, The Distillers, Gossip, Against Me!, and Bikini Kill. But you know, nerves.

  • 11 - WAR AGAINST ALL PUERTO RICANS by Nelson Antonio Denis
    Feb 28 2020

    (#prisonbreakforcover)

    While Amanda B. is off re-hiding the Holy Grail because we've proven we can't have nice things, Rony J. (@ronyphat) and producer Josh N. (@theincomparablejosh) reveal the greatest unknown revolution in (Latin, but also normal) American history with WAR AGAINST ALL PUERTO RICANS. What's in the secret warehouse behind the barbershop toilet? Well, guns, obviously. And...

    OMG THE PIPES. THE BUTTERY, BUTTERY PIPES. It's like an audio version of a dish by... some chef who's well known for using lots a butter, idk if there's ever been one.
    Communism? GET THEM.
    Aloha, ohana! Sorry for the reminder.
    Josh uses the world "excelsior" 100% seriously.
    Men don't cry, they shed tears.
    A little something for the #2A crowd!
    Wait for the brownsploitation version of this book.
    Puerto Ricans in 1955 = millennials?
    J. Edgar Hoover = got his own movie, played by DiCaprio; Albizu Campos = ???
    And one tiny insignificant question.

    We're not players. We just engage in close readings of crackling text a lot.
    MISS US?

  • 10 - The Babysitter's Club #38: KRISTY'S MYSTERY ADMIRER by Ann M. Martin
    Dec 27 2019

    Amanda B. and Rony J. do the serious-book-club equivalent of hitting on a girl that's obviously...uh... not interested in you, by seeking to break down Babysitter's Club book #38, KRISTY'S MYSTERY ADMIRER. Y.A.? YNOT!

    Ok so here's why not:

    1.) Pretty dresses; 2.) fellatio; 3.) ????
    Treatise on being "interesting looking".
    Woman as object --> woman as subject.
    (Kristy's going to Smith, not Wellesley.)
    Babysitting over 18 = whoring minus the sex.
    The do's and don'ts of writing secret, anonymous notes to someone you don't know insisting that you essentially want to possess them.
    The do's and don'ts of sending body parts to crushes.
    Simmering class warfare in Stoneybrook, y'all.
    HEAVY frock talk.
    GET 'EM NANNIE.
    OK so obviously we're doing the quiz. Guess who we got!
    (Hand to God, there were drums.)
    Everyone's a little gay.
    But no seriously, Kristy's gay.
    And that's fine!
    Not even fine. It's distant.
