NYGBC: Trad Caths, Rad Trads and the Faux FBI Memo Outrage

This week, we take a look at the “traditionalist Catholics” and rad trads and trad caths, a cesspool of antisemitism and misogyny (and some ordinary old religious fanatics as well). Benedict has also declared himself the anti-pope this week, so look forward to your forthcoming excommunication.

Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!

NYGBC: Unwoke Part 2

This week, we retvurn to our book review of Ted Cruz’ “Unwoke” and find the first chapter to be primarily Ted crapping on lefties and college students while insisting he’s the most tolerant and open lover of ideas and college students.

We highly recommend watching along with us this week. You can find the full movie on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIdBuK7_g3M&t=4178s  

NYGBC: Ted Cruz'in for a Bruz'in Author Intro Episode

This week, Kevin is writing the episode description in protest because Benedict vetoed his proposed episode title. Yes Ted Cruz sucks, yes this week we talked about him, but wouldn’t this episode be just that much better if we called him a cuck in the title? Wouldn’t it be slightly funnier? So yeah we do Ted’s bio this week or whatever, but Benedict also sucks this week.

NYGBC: Manhood by Josh Hawley Final Chapter

This week, we finally finished off our review of Josh Hawley’s sad self help book attempt “Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs” with the very sort of wet fart we suspected it would end with from the very beginning, namely Chapter 10 “King.” Next week we will do our author introduction to Ted Cruz and the following week we will begin reviewing his garbage fire, “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.”

NYGBC: Cultural Marxism is Weak Sauce Kids

This week, we preemptively begin our next book review of Ted Cruz’ “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America” by taking a look at the antisemitic conspiracy theory Ted built his book around, “Cultural Marxism.” We take a look at how the term developed from the nazi propaganda term Cultural Bolshevism into the neo-nazi term cultural marxism and fail to understand the right’s complete lack of shame.

NYGBC: Manhood Part 9

This week, we complete the penultimate chapter of Josh Hawley’s Manhood by reading chapter 9 “Priest” in which Josh utterly fails to connect any of his personal stories to the subject matter or explain why a mental health episode means we all need to be christian fascists.
