This episode, Eamon & Merlin talk the finale of Love Island USA, with a winning couple crowned and the most awkward rendition of Moon River imaginable. They then discuss Part One of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, where Porsha came with hugs and Angela came with receipts? Also, the newest episode of The Valley, where Jax’s evil powers will no longer penetrate Brittany and Jason’s commitment will be marked on him forever. Then, a new episode of Real Housewives of Miami, where some god has tricked these women into believing Lisa is a bigger narcissist than Larsa at Alexia’s party. And finally, Real Housewives of Orange County, where Katie’s hot pot lunch gets way hotter as a returning Gretchen is serving up comeuppance for Tamra.

We are Eamon and Merlin, a queer married couple from Texas living in Pittsburgh, PA. We love reality television, wrestling, drag queens, and pretty much anything that can be called even kinda gay. A Gay & His Enby is a podcast where we talk about everything we love in terms of media and pop culture; everything thats gay and gay adjacent; basically all the conversations we have in our living room we are now putting in front of a microphone and on the internet for you.

We have launched our MERCH STORE! We are so excited to bring you these designs, all made by Merlin, commemorating some of our favorite iconic moments! Shop now at https://AGayAndHisEnby.Threadless.com

Every week, we have the pleasure and privilege of recording from Sorgatron Media Studios in Pittsburgh. The theme song for our main show is Pulsar by Shane Ivers, and the theme song for Binge Watch is Higher Up by Shane Ivers, both of which you can find at https://www.silvermansound.com

We want to take a moment to uplift a powerful resource:

Let us be crystal clear: A Gay & His Enby stands for immigrant rights. Period.

This isn’t just politics—it’s about people. Families being torn apart. Communities being surveilled and silenced. And the same systems that criminalize immigrants also criminalize Black people, trans people, queer people, disabled people—anyone who doesn’t fit white supremacist standards of “belonging.”

We believe:

If you’ve ever wondered how to help, this guide is a great place to start. Share it. Donate if you can. Speak out even when it’s uncomfortable.

None of us are free until all of us are free.

In recent years, states have pushed forward a record number of bills that attack LGBTQ rights, especially transgender youth. The current obession with Drag Queens is no exception. This is a thinly veiled attempt to outlaw gender expressions that do not fall within the cisheteronormative guidelines. Please consider donating to one of the following charities to help make the US a safer place for Queer folks to live in peace.

🤯 What We Learned This Week

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer continues his deep and insightful conversation with Rubina Chadha — a mindfulness-based creative educator, breathwork guide, and trauma-informed life coach, and founder of Inner Design. Together, they explore the power of observation and mindful creativity as tools for healing and self-discovery.

Rubina shares how art and mindful looking can help individuals slow down, break from judgment, and reconnect with their inner creativity—even in the most mundane parts of life. The discussion touches on the barriers that block creative flow, including depression and anxiety, and how creative practices can be both the first casualty of stress and a path to recovery.

Rubina and Jim dive into what it means to live authentically and develop one’s own “singleness of purpose.” Listeners are invited to consider how lived experience, not just knowledge, shapes wisdom—and how mindful living can be an invitation, not a sales pitch, to transformation.
