So, we need our shots, we miss our shots and we [rarely] get our shots at immortal fame. The boys talk about deflecting bugs, attracting celebrities, and regretting those missed opportunities.

Imagine gay men talking about Taylor Swift! Besides accepting a nomination for a much-needed House Speaker, what hasn't she done? And what can't this superstar touch and not turn it into gold? Girl power will not be eclipsed in this episode. Oh yea, there was a pending eclipse sometime during this recording.

October is all wrapped up and November begins with conversations about ghosts, naturally. But how can you tell if you're being haunted by a gay ghost? We also find out who's in the Munsters or the Addams Family camp. And the boys do their best to guess who will have won the World Series by the time their recording airs.

Shows are shifting their focus to older audiences as young people have real lives to tend to and the actors are still in walk-out mode. So move over Tiger King and welcome Golden Bachelor! But it's only an hour because, you know, nap time. What about naked dating? The Max streaming network has you covered there ... sort of. Willies, jigglies, cropped and well manicured junction boxes abound as the Brits go naked and unafraid.

Well, here we are without a government again, but who cares as long as there's a circus in town! I think we're going to run out of popcorn. If you ran into your priest at a gay bar, would he be sporting gear as an assless chap-lain? What about phone sex? Are you old enough to remember what that was? 
28 minutes | Friday, October 13, 2023
This time Lee is missing in action but we took care of that with the grace and care of prisoners on parole. Bet you didn't know that we didn't always have adult birthday parties and you'll never guess who started it all. And the Hollywood sign turns 100 years old. Guess how it all started?
28 minutes | Friday, October 6, 2023
If it's not one thing, it's another. The boys had to scramble schedules to record this week but we managed to push out another show without Chadrick. We had a solution, though: AI Chadrick is in the house!
31 minutes | Friday, September 29, 2023
What movies about the future would you like to live through today? Rethinking time travel when movies about it really suck. Are small town gay bars still a thing? Where to escape if "Gilead" actually happens.
28 minutes | Friday, September 22, 2023
Congrats boys, you've managed to soil the memories of some lovable cartoon characters! So, what's the best candy to have in your mouth if you're going to ... you know?
28 minutes | Friday, September 15, 2023
If you want real clowns, go to a real circus, they say. But you have to admit that the deluge of indictments over our political overlord-wanna-be's sure makes things entertaining. The latest streaming interest involves a political rom-com which brings up the question: should gay characters only be played by gay actors? There's a lawsuit involving the real-life folks featured in the movie The Blindside and the guys try to play judge and jury already.
29 minutes | Friday, September 8, 2023
Chadrick is still out "gorge-ing" so Lee and Mike carry the load and somehow wind up talking about a size to body ratio that might surprise you. Also, what part of the animal kingdom would you include in gay culture and why?
28 minutes | Friday, September 1, 2023
So, turns out you don't have to call in sick or absent. Just don't show up! Chadrick makes an ooopsie so the others carry the show ... right into a brick wall. Should the recently dead be a demographic for smart devices? Also, what did you learn in school, church, life that looking back seems absurd today?
28 minutes | Friday, August 25, 2023
The boys fantasize about lottery winnings and all those impossible dreams. But would you be inclined to give to charity if you won a ton of money? Speaking of billions, Taylor Swift's latest tour has surpassed revenues never seen before. Who's the next artist to embark on a billion-dollar tour?
29 minutes | Friday, August 18, 2023
If you've ever had the hiccups, there's surely something you can try to get rid of them, but you probably can't do it in public. There more things change, the more things try to go back to another time that wasn't kind to non-whites and also the LGBTQ+ family. Don't stand still and let it happen.
29 minutes | Friday, August 11, 2023
It's a Barbie-palooza as pink takes center stage and the three grown men on the show talk about ... dolls! So, was Barbie really pregnant at one time? Plus, if art is art and love is love, when do you fall out of love because the art you want to love is made by someone you don't? Confused? We are too.
28 minutes | Friday, August 4, 2023
The summer heat must be getting to the mind as one of us tries to kill off a celebrity way too early. From coffee to fake-outraged moms, the wave of anti-LGBTQ activities continues, even moving to sports. Hey, but we can still laugh at something these days, right?
28 minutes | Friday, July 28, 2023
It's July so naturally we talk about ... CHRISTMAS! Only Fans would pay to see you do your thing. Would you? And we take a deep dive into billionaire blunders and all the perfect things we'd do with all that money. Because we're always right!
28 minutes | Friday, July 21, 2023
Chadrick is still missing but Lee and Mike take the opportunity to talk dirt about him ... for a few seconds before they're over it. Nomads, profane billboards and James Cameron's directorial three-way. NOT what you think!
31 minutes | Friday, July 14, 2023
Chadrick finds more fun and shiny things to do so Lee and Mike talk about HIM for a change. But that doesn't last long. What are people called where you're from? Are you an ian, an er, an ite or an an? Confused? Good. When things get bad at home as LGBTQ+, is it time to leave or stay and fight?
31 minutes | Friday, July 7, 2023
Is going on vacation just as exciting as it used to be and does being gay make you consider different options? The 82-degree meltdown: A STUPID recommendation from a state governor for saving electricity in the summer sets one of us off.

What a Pride month it has been! Thankfully we're off the target on Target and now laser focused on the blurry future of pride and justice. An orange man has been indicted, a bigoted juice pusher is still around, and popping out like a cuckoo in a clock is none other than someone named OJ. Make of that what you will. Hey, someone who claimed that gays have sex with angels is now gonna have a chat with some of them, but we think he might not find any where he's going. What was that about speaking ill of the dead? Nah, f**k that.  Hey, if you need a break from all the politi-cray-cray, we also...

What do you say to the parents of an ugly baby? Traveling with groups of people is a lesson in patience and if you don't have it, you can always throw someone overboard. Plus, we've got the best idea for using those new $3500 Apple Vision Pro thingies on your face.
33 minutes | Friday, June 16, 2023
The target on Target stores is a symptom of a larger problem that surges during Pride month. Is social media part of it? We also lost Tina Turner recently. There will never be another but do we still 'need another hero'?
38 minutes | Friday, June 9, 2023
Continuing the conversation about the first time at a gay bar. Ah, youth! Do not breach the New York City protection bubble! How Judy Garland's death, the Stonewall riots and Dallas tittie bars were all part of the gay lifestyle we know today. Oh and how can you talk about Judy without mentioning what happened to the ruby slippers?
34 minutes | Friday, June 2, 2023
If your birthday falls on a leap year, are you really younger than the rest? Lee sees dead people but can't tell if they're gay. When did others know you were gay before you did?
29 minutes | Friday, May 26, 2023
Well it's all about mothers, until it's not ... because underwear takes the spotlight! Which do you prefer to wear, or stare at? And which ones would you advise a good friend to, ummmm NOT WEAR?

We lost Jerry Springer but the legacy lives on: We still do shitty things to each other but now we do it online instead of on a talk show. Hats off to Jerry, who unknowingly gave us a TV version of what Twitter would become. Also, if you had a governor vs. mouse on your court room bingo card this year, you win! We say that if you're going that hard against our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters, you'd better check your own closest first. Our bet's on the mouse.

It's not quite 'Ten Things I Hate About You' but there definitely was a bit of a confessional set up on this show. Also, what movie would you not want to watch alone? What farts can tell about your relationships. Plus, we finally reveal our Oscar predictions. Oh, really? How long ago?

Chadrick interviews sex therapist Darrin Pfannenstiel, LPC Associate #89866 (supervised by Mark Cagle, LPC Supervisor #71799). That's all the legal stuff we need to post but he's is more easily known as Darrin "Steel." Yes, he sounds like a porn star, but he's much more than that! Enjoy the friendly banter and insight into the role people see a sex therapist playing in their lives.
