😂 That's brilliant! People with no les-bros in their life are missing out. If there's something straight men are great at is playful, drama-free, honest and fun friendship.
Love it. My partner has two. They are our neighbours, both married (to women). They build carports and train horses and drink beer. The wifes don’t mind because we’re lezzers.
In a complex post-truth world, where it's increasingly hard to find any solid ground to stand on, and toxic debate leaves us feeling ever more confused and uncertain, it's such a relief to finally have an indisputable fact to hang on to: Kathleen Stock is addicted to dogging. Thank you, both.
My favourite possession is a ‘I ❤️ Dogging’ coffee mug given to me by a friend (as a joke, I hasten to add). I’m trying to find a series of articles in The Loughborough Echo from years ago about the ins and outs of dogging. They are hilarious and include reference to trays of Moussaka being served to the ravenous hordes. I’ll post them, should I find them.
So funny 🤣 especially that whole section where Kathleen is ‘debunking the dogging rumour’ and frankly digging herself in deeper and deeper - that Waitrose car park knowledge is just too specific 🤔
And the ‘where do you put your cocktails?’ scenario from Julie had me in stitches! 🍸🤣🤣
1. "Lesbros" is the answer to what you call men who hang out with a bunch of lesbians.
2. In the U.S. there's a difference between denying someone a service based on some inherent trait and utilizing compelled speech. In the Supreme Court case a few years ago, the cake baker was being asked to write something about the wedding on the cake and that was deemed compelled speech by the court (including by liberal justices), and rightly so. Bakers can legally refuse to bake a cake where they have to write something that goes against their conscience.
However, if there is no writing involved that's a different story. In my parents' lifetime, store owners hung signs denying services and goods to black and brown people, based on entrenched conservative religious beliefs about race. It was determined to be a civil rights issue not to be able to access goods and services available to white people. You might think being a gay couple is different than that, but I do not. There are large swaths of the United States where, if conservative Christians were allowed to deny services to gay people soley based on their sexual orientation, it would be very difficult for gay people to live in the area. To my American ears, saying, "Oh, just go to the gay bakery down the street" is completly divorced from the lived experience of many people.
Diane Morgan in her own show ‘Mandy’ on BBC is also very very funny. Her dream job of working as a biscuit taster is one of the funniest things I’ve seen
In response to what to call a straight-man who hangs out with lesbians I call my best friend a les-bro (though never to his face)

That's what we call our guy friends too--lesbros. But they're more than happy to embrace it and call themselves that.

I imagine Loughborough may be the world capital of dogging. It seems like that sort of place.
😂 Yes, it probably is! Nothing else to do!
Exactly! :D

The end of this podcast was chaotic af and I'm so here for it. Laughed out loud several times. 😂❤️
“A queen could always die, and knock you off the page” 🤣
Such a great start! 🍷
A bulldog chewing a wasp, hilarious and I’m sure completely untrue! 🤣 Loved Amandaland too!

Also, love your show. Big fan.
“I'm glad you've put that to bed, or rather to the boot of a car” 😂😂
You’re On fine form as always ❤️
The last 10 minutes of this episode were unhinged. Loved it.
And Motherland is also streaming on Stan in Australia. For any "Cunk on Earth" shows, Diane Morgan plays an hysterical character.
Diane Morgan in her own show ‘Mandy’ on BBC is also very very funny. Her dream job of working as a biscuit taster is one of the funniest things I’ve seen
You should invite Amanda Kovattana on to talk about Thai culture, and her brush with Butler!
Love the show! Would love to see an interview with your patron, Martina Navratilova some time.
Couldn't agree more about lesbians and straight men getting along well. A name is definitely needed!
Lived with 3 men in Toronto during my undergrad, we were best friends. Most of my closest colleagues at work are men.
I’m having a difficult week and you two discussing dogging was exactly the tonic I needed!! 🤣
Laughed out loud at the dogging piece. Found it enlightening too. I always thought that the voyeurs were the ones dogging, not the pair having sex.
