Welcome to the final main pod of 2026 - and there's so much to cover off!

First up, has anyone else ever put the metal cage from a champagne bottle over their private parts? No?! Just Brad?!

Chris has a warning for anyone using Facebook Marketplace after he was scammed trying to buy a trailer.

The boys are now all deep in the world of Heated Rivalry, and Matty wants to know if the horniest show on TV would appeal to straight men because of, you know, the sports.

We look back at some of the standout Hotties from 2025 and award an official Hottie of the Year.

And we've chucked the Google Doc into ol' ChatGPT and have the Officially Unofficial Out The Gayte Wrapped.

Christmas is here and the boys have cracked open a cold one for the penultimate episode of 2025.

We go full boomer this week with our gripes - including loud BYOs, bad drivers, and escalator hogs.

Matty had some transport dramas trying to get to a wedding in Canterbury last week - enter his hero Leanne.

We talk erections (Christmas tree edition), and the importance of balls in the erection process.

The boys are deeply invested in the horniest show of 2025 - the gay ice hockey love story that has set the world on fire. This is now a Heated Rivalry fan podcast.

Speaking of gay sports stars, our favourite out football player Josh Cavallo has revealed he's in the process of mentoring other professional sports players struggling with their sexuality, and we're here for it.

Plus we go through all the wrapped's - Spotify, Adult Toy Mega Store, Grindr. It's a data-filled poddy, and you're going to love it.

There is a big discussion to kick off this week's pod about wheelie bins, tow bars, and why Brad thinks Matty needs to get an engineer in to weld together a rig - it'll all make sense!

Turns out we were lead astray and you actually can have peacocks on a residential property!

There are gay sheep overseas and the boys are outraged on their behalf - BLATANT sheep homophobia is at play, and Out The Gayte won't stand for it.

Why was Chris trying to take a photo of a stranger's hair at a concert over the weekend, and what made his partner Matt mad?!

Plus we've got a brand new sting for our Hottie of the Week segment and it's a little...handmade.

The Bumuda Triangle is no more - with Matty moved, it’s more of a squiggly line.

But boy oh boy do we have some stories from Matty’s move to the “farm”. He’s a cowboy now, don’t you know?!

There are winners and losers in sport this week - first the NZ Breakers who have refused to wear a Pride flag. We're not happy, Jan.

But there's a gorgeous story worth celebrating about a rugby game in Wales with a team of fierce queens competing in FULL drag.

We award our Hottie of the Week to bisexual AFL player Mitch Brown who has taken part in a very sexy photo shoot.

And we spitball some ideas for Pockets' own nude photo shoot - farm frolic anyone?!

Come crack open a cold one with the boys this week as the summer vibes are ON.

First thing's first, we discuss the (not so) breaking news of the first openly gay Sexiest Man Alive - and we are here for him and his slutty little glasses.

We told you about the Olympic athlete in hot water over his OnlyFans account, but he has now given the middle finger to his haters by revealing how much he's actually made.

Brad needs to confront Matty about yet another driving offence in the neighbourhood.

Chris came armed with a great story about the Lourve robbers, but has he fallen victim to a scam?!

Plus Pockets got asked something over the weekend that has made him feel, well, straight.

The sun is shining and the boys are ready to declare - summer is here!

There was only one way this episode was ever going to start, though, and that is with a deep dive into Matty and Brad's Tunnel Tour '25.

Hear all about the bus nicknamed Black Beauty, the gorgeous guide named Ezra, the slight hiccup which resulted in a bout of hitchhiking, and the copious amounts of wine consumed.

There's also a new Prime Minister in the Netherlands, and he's GAY! And he has a BOYFRIEND! And he's HOT!

A former Olympian is in trouble after something he did on a plane.

We are all a little frightened of AI and the misinformation it's spreading (and yet, we're utterly obsessed with the AI edits of Queen Elizabeth II).

Plus Chris is ready to throw in the towel with something and he wants the support of the boys, so we all make a pledge by the end of the podcast.

The Doc is full and the boys are energised this week - but first thing's first, what the hell happened at the big gay Halloween party?!

Brad brings this week's Hottie of the Week via the new hit show Boots - and it has us reminiscing about our foray into male erotica.

We have managed to get our hands on an advanced copy of the upcoming Kiwi Firefighters' calendar, so for the good of the Gaytors we naturally dissect each month.

There's been an update on the Gay Games, and the next location is very close to home.

Chris has an update for us on his journey to fatherhood - and it's GREAT news you won't want to miss.
Plus why are Matty and Brad going into a dark tunnel together this weekend?!

Did you miss us?! We are BACK!
It’s been a hot minute and there is so much to catch up on, including, but not limited to:

• Chris' European adventures, which involved him having to come out all over again 
• Matty's bad boy reputation now that he's got a tattoo
• Brad's new TV show obsession, which includes a peen count that you'll be very impressed by

Plus Matty has a proposition for the boys as he puts a list together of 40 things to do before he turns 40.
And we discuss the top who's set to take on ONE THOUSAND bottoms.

Once again Pockets and Brad have knocked one out of the park and come together for a record without fearless leader Chris on board to handle logistics this week.

Straight out the gate (no pun intended) Brad needs to confront Matty about something his partner Karl witnessed this weekend - it involves a stop sign and a sprinkling of road rage.

There's a couple of Hotties to discuss - first up are we about to see ALL of Kiwi actor KJ Apa in his upcoming movie? And are there nude photos of a former Glee star on the internet anywhere?

AFL player Mitch Brown made history as the first openly LGBT+ player when he came out as bisexual recently - and you won't believe the powerful move he's now made.

Matty went to a rural pub over the weekend and somehow ended up pouring pints behind the bar.

Plus why did Pedro Pascal comment "yay gay" on his most recent Instagram post? The boys need your help.

The boys had to start this week's episode with a gentle ribbing of Pockets who found himself the lead story on two major news publications after his disastrous weekend!

One of us is about to go to Disneyland for the first time, one of us has been EIGHT times, and one swears he’ll never ever go - can you guess who’s who?!

We discuss the news of Charlie Kirk's death, and the complicated feelings surrounding the whole event.

There was a deep dive into the gay and inclusive rugby tournament - the Purchas Cup - and just how beautiful and successful it was.

Plus why is there a straight man on TikTok rating famous men's "members"?! We're not mad, just curious.
