Well friends, we continue with 2025 being unpredictable and full of surprises.  This week, we had to record without Paul (who is out of town working at a business conference).  Paul will be back next week.  So this week we are the three other gays talking about work, music, books movies and we even play a game based on IKEA product names.  Listen, like and subscribe so Paul thinks we did a good job in his absence.  :-...

This week we talk about common English language phases, sayings and colloquialisms that many people regularly get wrong.  We started thinking about this last week when Joe admitted to thinking that the phrase "Worth its weight in gold" was really "Worth its wait in gold."  It got us thinking that there are likely a lot of those phrases that people misunderstand, or use incorrectly.  Listen along an...

This week the boys focus on all the unprecedented things happening in our world.  Unprecedented fires. Unprecedented politics.  Unprecedented everything.  We are starting to think about how aptly our podcast was named.  We thought that during a global pandemic, how could it ever get worse?  Well . . . asked and answered.

This week, the boys reminisce about straight crushes from our childhood and teen years.  It seems inevitable that a queer person develops attractions to people that do not feel the same for them.  This archetype of the unattainable love (both sexual and romantic) is a major theme in our fantasies as well as in queer literature, movies and television. Everyone has stories of that one boy . . .

In this episode, after a nightmare election night, the boys find comfort in each other.  If we are going to be miserable, at least we get to go through it together.  This week we offer a break from harsh reality by focusing on Nick's and Joe's recent trip to the UK.  We all need a little distraction from the insanity that we are living in. We hope we can provide a momentary respite from your fears, disappoin...

This week, the boys are back with part 2 of our 3-part social media series.  This week, we talk about situations where people have had consequences from posts they made on social media.  Be careful what you post.  It seems that what you say can and will be held against you . . . even if you think nobody noticed.

This week, the boys talk about social media trends that become harmful.  TikTok and Inst challenges that go from fun to tragic, or posts that end up having dire consequences for the people who made them.  Our digital age gives access to things we might otherwise never see or learn about.  That broadens horizons and allows us to see the diversity of our bigger world.  But it sometimes comes with costs. Whether you are ...
