What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around.

The hosts are joined by the dynamic Kyle Queal to discuss the nature of leadership within industry and the connective tissues that link those lessons to the classroom and to the athletic realm. The three seek to tease out such questions as what does a leader need to do when taking over an operation, how does a leader get the most from those working with them and how translatable are such skills and methods when applied to other areas and industries - be they non-profit groups, religious organizations, schools and, in this case, the Dallas Cowboys.

The Old School welcomes the great Dr. Peter Worthing of TCU to discuss the Boxer Rebellion. The three gentlemen discuss the origins of the movement, what it was and how it influenced China going into the 20th century and beyond. It is a great conversation that highlights not just the philosophical ideals that modern historians attribute to the Boxers but the real world circumstances that motivated agrarian Chinese to attack the western presence in their country. Patriots, rebels or a desperate lot frantically hoping their efforts will approve their lives? All three? The Old School attempts to address these ideas and more. In the course of the discussion, Dr. Worthing references a couple of great books on the Boxer Rebellion if one is interested in learning more about this very fascinating topic.

Cohen For a more popular but still riveting account of the uprising, check out: The Boxer Rebellion: The Dramatic Story of China's War on Foreigners that Shook the World in the Summer of 1900 by Diana Preston.
