Occasionally Funny

Josh and Sam have their first "mass debate" this week over accepting our ages, comparing ourselves to others, feeling like failures and how gay men over a certain age often feel invisible. The chat takes an unexpected turn as Josh opens up about his own age gap relationship... 

Part 2 will be posted tomorrow.

Sammy starts this week’s ep where the last one ended: finally sharing the story of what he accidentally posted to TikTok and quickly had to delete. Josh then introduces new segment, The Wheel of Misfortune, and shares the story of the tabloid scandal that got his school teacher fired and then the night he saved a man’s life.

The honeymoon period of Josh and Sam's friendship is officially over as the first big issue to threaten the future of this podcast pops up during this week's episode. Plus, why all gay men should be 'vers' in the bedroom, what's pissing Sam off and introducing Dear Diary our new segment!

A changing room dilemma that Josh faced divided him and Sam and led to a surprising discussion on body dysmorphia in the gay community, gym insecurities everybody faces and overcoming that first, scary hurdle to get into fitness. But… would you push the big red button?

Join Joshua Fox and Sam Stanton as they recap their wild night in Sydney (with audio and video evidence) searching for a new husband on Oxford Street before then, um, drunkenly chasing The Wiggles at the Australian Audio Awards and attempting to start a war.

I set Sam a challenge for this week's bonus episode to phone his parents up and confess to lying to them for 21 years about ordering Brokeback Mountain on the family DVD account! However, the call quickly took an unexpected turn and became quite emotional...

After officially announcing Sam Stanton as my co-host of the Occasionally Funny podcast last week, I thought for our first proper episode we'd take things all the way back to when we first figured out we were both gay, how we eventually came out and what lessons we've learned along the way. 

We hope anyone still struggling with their sexuality or parents unsure how to bring certain topics up with their kids will take something from this episode.

The search is finally over and in this episode I finally make my Occasionally Funny co-host choice and phone both Sam and my mum up to share the exciting news!

With Sam and my mum's co-host auditions complete, this weekend I decided to catch up with them both one last time to see if this helped me make my final decision. Plus, I dig out audio of the first time I ever cried on the internet, reminisce about a homeless man I befriended and tried to bring home as a teenager and welcome a wild card into the studio.

Well, I wouldn't say welcome, more they arrived at my door for an unplanned audition.

It's time for my mum's audition to become the Occasionally Funny co-host and after starting off with some embarrassing stories about me, we discuss the "deprived" area I was raised and how family was at the forefront of so much drama. 

Let us know what you think of Sam's audition on the @OccasionallyFunnyPod Instagram.
