Romance Out Loud

Last call at the bar? Don't get caught with the lights on, unless of course, you're just getting in touch with your inner whoredom. We're talking the "speakeasy" days of gay bars and what constitutes a "happy snitch."

Things go dark pretty fast as the boys welcome another week of the new year with talk of Death cards, movie blood and black hearts. Happy pre-Valentine's Day everyone! Also, do you know what the pineapple on your cruise cabin door really means?

A new year has begun but old issues remain. Among them is the adbundance of resolutions to be a better you. Will it work? Well, for weight loss, it might pay to be diabetic. Or at least pretend to be. Also, were there ever gay saints?

The retail chaos swallowed Chadrick whole so Lee and Mike kicked those reindeer off the sleigh heading back to wherever the f*** reindeer go after a long road trip with Santa and took the reins themselves on this show. So, so tired after the Christmas chaos and now our thoughts turn toward all things that scream New Year – like dead celebrities and futile attempts at weight loss resolutions. Enjoy!

Gearing up for the holidays, thoughts naturally turn to gay investment opportunities, cutting cable, cutting skin (as in circumcision) and tacking your pre-worn intimates to a wall. Merry Christmas everybody!

We're on hypocrite watch as the political clown show continues with the anti-gay but pro-threeway Moms for Puberty book burners finding themselves embroiled in a sex scandal. Taylor Swift is Time Person of the Year and we couldn't be happier, plus George Santos is selling Cameo videos after being expelled from Congress. 'Merica!

Why Christmas can be full of horse (and all kinds of animal) sh*t. What if you get to Heaven and then have to go? The war on poinsettias continues; plus holidays you wouldn't mind moving to another time of year.

How about converational whiplash? We've got it! Does getting a blowjob from a guy make another guy gay or does it have to go further? Also, it is blowjob or blow job? Don't think auto-correct or grammar police can help here. It's post-Thansgiving and there's a table argument about stuffing vs. dressing. Does stuffing make you gay? One thing is for sure, what's PC today will most definitely not be tomorrow. Enjoy!

The boys talk about the best and worst Christmas gifts. Chadrick gives his annual PSA about getting your sh** together for the holidays.

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? 

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?

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!

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.

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?

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.

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?
