#5 The Patriarchy Doesn’t Want You To Care | Live From Granger Leadership Academy

everythingsbigger69@gmail.com (Jackson Bird, Bo Méndez) — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:09:15 +0000

In Everything’s Bigger’s first-ever live recording, Bo Méndez and Jackson Bird talked to attendees of the Granger Leadership Academy about the ways in which the patriarchy discourages us from being unironically enthusiastic about our passions––whether that’s a nerdy interest or taking action on an important social issue.

#3 International Men's Day... But Really

everythingsbigger69@gmail.com (Jackson Bird, Bo Méndez) — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 21:06:43 +0000

Neither of us realized there was an International Men’s Day and, when we discovered it, we thought it was probably a bunch of Men’s Rights Activist BS. Turns out, parts of it are… kinda great and uplifting? Join co-hosts Bo Méndez and Jackson Bird as we discuss the history, the problems, and the promise of International Men’s Day.

#2 Don't Toy With Our Emotions

everythingsbigger69@gmail.com (Bo Méndez, Jackson Bird) — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 22:18:52 +0000

It’s Christmastime and we’re feeling the joy, the merriment, and the stress. What’s stressing us out? Oh, just the constant gendering of all things in society–including friggin’ children’s toys! Why do toys have to be divided along binary gendered lines? Hosts Bo Méndez and Jackson Bird delve into the history of gendered toys in America, discuss the toys we received as kids (as well as the ones we WANTED to receive), how attempts at gender-neutral dolls aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, and much more in this tangentially* holiday-themed episode.

*Jack is wearing red and green plaid flannel in this episode so he would like it noted that it is much more than just tangentially holiday-themed.
