When is a hole more than a hole? On their birthday! Today we celebrate – or barely tolerate – the smallest yet loudest member of the podcast: Kirk!

First, Paul drops in for the intro. Then we air out or grievances with Kirk before saying a few nice things about him for once. Nothing says "we love you" quite like yet another reminder you are functionally illiterate.

Hosted by Erica (@erica_megan), Kirk (@kirk.charles), Andrew (@andrwjn)

With a brief appearance by Paul (@extremely_divorced)

We all had that one kid in our class that was born on Leap Day and had to tell everyone they were 3 years old when they were actually 12. Well, today we talk about why Leap Day isn’t real, along with time. Oh, and how 2024 is a complete redo of 2020, so have we even left 2020? You know, some reallll simple stuff. If you’ve ever sat and contemplated if time was a social construct, this one’s for you. 

By the way - we told Kirk he could have the leap day episode because technically, does it even exist? So if you hate this episode, fully blame him.

Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, Hair, Hair, Hair.

In this episode, Paul returns to host a discussion on body hair, shaving & grooming, and preferred body hair in romantic partners. We’ll talk about our biggest body hair icks, but also reflect on the problematic beauty standards tied to Body Hair, particularly in women and gay men.

To wrap things up, we’ll pit the Queers against the Straights in a game we’re calling, “Hair to Hair, Toe to Toe.” The winner will receive bragging rights and full body shave courtesy of Paul.

The countdown to Super Bowl Sunday is on! - and who needs Erin Andrews’ or Shannon Sharpe’s sports commentary when you’ve got a gay man to do it for you! Kirk takes us through what we can expect from the upcoming Big Game between two insufferable teams, performances by mother Reba Mcentire and Usher, and the glorious 25 seconds of screen time our Lord and Savior Taylor Swift is bound to have. Will she drop Rep TV during a Kelce touchdown celebration? 

Break out your buffalo chicken dip, and let’s talk some football, queens.

Black History Month is a time where people can honor the millions of contributions of Black people, events, and movements that have influenced the culture of an entire nation and the world. During this week’s episode, we’re celebrating the Talent, the Icons, the Intelligence, and the Power of the Black and African American community.

You’ll receive an overview about the origins of Black History Month and then we’ll talk about how we plan to celebrate it. Plus, we’ll play a fun little game called: “Who Wants to Be a Racist Millionaire?,” where we unpack some of the insane arguments people have used throughout history to undermine the need for Black History Month.

Since this podcast itself is a reboot of a remake, we are fully qualified to give our hot takes on a raging debate: should we retire TV and film reboots, remakes, and even sequels? The answer is...maybe?

Come for the brief appearance of the elusive daddy of this podcast, Paul. Stay for Kirk learning that Frasier is a spinoff of Cheers.

Being an American means having the freedom from the tyranny universal healthcare. Today we dive into why healthcare is so good in this glorious country and overwhelming majority of Americans rate our privatized healthcare system a 10 out of 10. Hell yeah brother! LET FREEDOM RING!

Just kidding – that ringing you hear is the giant healthcare register in the sky devouring all of our hard-earned money. But, on the plus side, a hospital executive got to get a new boat! Now, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, go for a run, skip that latte, and desperately hope you don't have a medical emergency for the next hour.

We're back from holiday break to kickoff the new year in the only way we know how: our sardonic hot takes on new year resolutions.

Are resolutions all they are cracked up to be or just another way to fail yourself?
