The hosts introduce Jack Black as a guest and discuss his previous appearance on the podcast. They then invite him back to talk about sports and also have a lighthearted conversation about plural forms of words and drinking coffee from China mugs. The chapter ends with a mention of the World Cup in South Africa.
Unlocked from our patreon: this week, we're joined again by Jack Black, Associate Professor of Culture, Media, and Sport at Sheffield Hallam University. We're talking football, melancholy, and English football anthems. How does football, or 'soccer', serve as an emblematic example of the Freudian/Žižekian concept of drive? Jack explains!
