We talk about the covid vaccine and Stephen’s excitement for it. Stephen talks about being blocked after having some online drama with someone.

Our FaceTime freezes. Again.

We talk about the meek-row-wah-veee, and about PinkNews and social media pages who glorify the manipulation of a straight rugby player who had a sexual activity performed on him by a man unbeknownst to him at the time.

Mark Answers a listen question about a kpop song. Stephen tells mark about how he broke his glasses. Mark has a catfish on scruff. Mark talks about the law suites by some retired rugby pros for brain damage causing early onset dementia, and Stephen talks about why he thinks Austin Healey was right to request an apology from the blogger trying to bait him about his views on the lgbt+ community.

We talk Christmas movies and the awful Dolly Parton Christmas movie, and the movies we have on our Netflix list. We talk about the upcoming season of drag race.

Stephen challenges Mark to stop being as thirsty in 2021 when we uses his page of the ep to try let people know he wants to sleep with them. And we briefly talk about world aids day.

Back after eight weeks.

in the episode, we talk about Marks couch to 5km challenge, Stephens hatred for Pink News and their constant non stories about Sam Smith, schools hang to teach about LGBTQ+ lifestyles, the Edinburgh christmas festival being cancelled, Stephen fanboying over fashion designer Ashton Michael, Boris banning indoor sex, and some of the LGBTQ+ venues that are shutting down because of covid. we get into the decision the world rugby made to ban all trans women for playing rugby and how ridiculous and damaging that decision is to the community, and we touch on a little bit of drag race too.

In this episode, Mark moans about the fact he can't get to the gym, and Mark accuses Stephen of being shady and mean (big shock there huh?)about the moon. They chat about the BBC dropping trans charities from their info page, the advert for film crew in Edinburgh, and the free Britney movement. Mark and Stephen get into transphobic in sports, particularly rugby and boxing, with the leaked report that World Rugby are trying to ban trans players, and Stephen goes off on one about the boxer that goes into a transphobic and homophobic rant when he was asked if he supports the LGBT community. Much to Stephens amusement Mark uses another Pink News article, even when he says he doesn't like the news outlets journalistic credibility in a past episode, and Stephen proclaims he's now a man of God.
