People are declaring it Short King Spring so consider this episode our coronation ceremony. We're vaxed, waxed, and ready to ask for help reaching that thing off the high shelf... but in a sexy way.
Short hosts Bo MĂ©ndez and Jackson Bird discuss their opinions on the term "short king." Is it empowering? Is it patronizing? How does its usage intersect with gendered assumptions placed on us and how much has being short men impacted us in our lives? One thing's for sure: this episode is not a short king. Buckle in for a long one.

In Everythingâs Biggerâs first-ever live recording, Bo MĂ©ndez 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 passionsââwhether thatâs a nerdy interest or taking action on an important social issue.

Itâs Christmastime and weâre feeling the joy, the merriment, and the stress. Whatâs stressing us out? Oh, just the constant gendering of all things in societyâincluding frigginâ childrenâs toys! Why do toys have to be divided along binary gendered lines? Hosts Bo MĂ©ndez 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 arenât all theyâre 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.
