  • Marcus Found a Mystery Envelope on a Bar and It Ruined Our Podcast

    Magician Max Davidson (fresh off Edinburgh Fringe prep) is back for round two — and this one turns into the wildest episode we've ever recorded. On his way to the studio, Marcus grabs a mystery envelope taped to a bar in Hell's Kitchen. We open it live, DM the pop artist behind it — Broadway alum K.Daniel — and somehow he shows up at the studio mid-episode. Meanwhile Max is reading minds, guessing cards, and pulling off a Cate Blanchett prediction that's already written on a business card in his wallet — which Corey had been holding the entire time. Nothing about this was planned. We swear.

  • Corey is Too Good at Games | The Boy Friends

    No guest this week, just the three of us going head-to-head at Guess That Guy — the Headbanz-style game where you have to figure out which celebrity you are before your friends give up on you. Corey pulls guesses out of thin air off almost nothing, Marcus spirals through every actor he can't name, and Matt calls his mom live on air to settle an unrelated debate. Winners, losers, and one very long detour into whether Lindsay Lohan is just two Disney girls in a trench coat.

  • John Franklin Got Kicked Off a Christian Baseball Team

    Comedian John Franklin (Netflix's The Circle) joins the Boyfriends to explain how he got booted from a Christian college baseball team before he could even suit up, why he ditched stand-up for sports content, and what a late night show for sports comedy could look like. Also on the docket: the man who ran through the Vatican stealing statue penises, aliens vs. the firmament, Savannah Bananas as baseball's Blue Man Group, Corey's five-year Panera salad sandwich betrayal, and calling their moms live to answer for childhood rat tails.

  • Comedian Che Durena on Sex, STDs & AI Taking Over | Boyfriends Pod

    Comedian and podcast host Che Durena joins Corey B, Matt Lopes, and Marcus Monroe on the The Boy Friends Podcast for one of the most hilariously unfiltered conversations we've ever had — and that's saying something.

    Che breaks down his journey from internet obscurity to viral stand-up comedian, why he started a podcast interviewing porn stars, and what it was actually like filming that infamous squirt-vs-piss science experiment with legendary adult performer Joanna Angel. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. Yes, he drank it.
    The guys get into Che real-life STD experiences (chlamydia, and a full breakdown of the STD power rankings from herpes to syphilis to AIDS), the deeply misunderstood stigma around herpes, blue waffles for the first time on camera, and why Marcus refuses to try anal no matter how many times the guys ask.
    The conversation takes a surprisingly sharp turn into AI territory — why Che switched from ChatGPT to Claude, how open AI is trying to dodge accountability, the terrifying military use of AI, and whether live performance will actually boom because people are desperate for something real.
    Che also talks about his stand-up special "How to Make Your Balls Bigger" on YouTube and his upcoming tour dates in Canada and Texas.
    This one goes everywhere. Buckle up.

  • O-Town's Trevor Penick: Boy Bands, Diddy & the Pop Star Life

    Trevor Penick of O-Town sits down with Matt, Corey, and Marcus to tell stories that only a 2000s pop star could tell — and things get wildly entertaining fast.

    Trevor was one of the original cast members of Lou Pearlman's Making the Band on ABC, the show that predated Diddy's version and launched O-Town into arenas worldwide. He walks us through what it was really like: zero singing experience before the auditions, crying every time he made the next cut, and learning harmonies on the fly while the cameras rolled.
    Before the fame, Trevor was collecting trash in a tuxedo at a minor league baseball stadium in Rancho Cucamonga — and managed to dance the chicken dance on a dugout with Halle Berry. After the fame faded and Lou Pearlman's financial mismanagement left the band short-changed, Trevor pivoted to stand-up comedy and MC work, eventually hitting the road with podcast host Marcus Monroe for shows in Chicago, Houston, Boston, and Mexico City.


    In this episode we cover:

    • Trevor's path from zero vocal training to making O-Town on national TV
    • Lou Pearlman's Making the Band vs. Diddy's version — what really happened
    • Opening for Britney Spears on a 50-city arena tour and what she was allegedly like backstage
    • Dancing the chicken dance with Halle Berry at a minor league baseball game
    • The Diddy party invite they turned down — and why Trevor doesn't regret it
    • Stealing from Hollister, corporate wage debates, and whether billionaires should exist
    • Veganism, lab-grown meat, and the McDonald's human-meat conspiracy theory
    • A blind boy band ranking: New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Boyz II Men, New Edition, and Manudo
    • Whether blink-182 counts as a boy band
    • O-Town's 25th anniversary album shows, re-recorded songs, and the Pop 2000 Tour
    • The rumored boy band Super Bowl halftime show — who should be on that stage?
    O-Town is currently touring on the Pop 2000 Tour and performing their debut album front to back for its 25th anniversary at select City Winery shows. Find tickets and dates at pop2000tour.com.

  • Lil Mo Mozzarella Returns: Kill Tony, Road Life & Comedy Respect

    Lil Mo Mozzarella is back on The Boy Friends, and this episode goes everywhere — from savage "your sister" roast battles to genuine, hard-won wisdom about what it takes to survive and thrive as a touring comedian in 2024.

    The Boy Friends welcome Mo back for a conversation that starts with laughs and gets surprisingly real. Mo details his legendary journey to appear on Kill Tony: a car breakdown in Oklahoma, four hours of waiting in line alone, getting messaged by Tony Hinchcliffe at the last minute, and ultimately going viral from the appearance.
    The crew digs deep into what it actually feels like to be a social-media-first comedian trying to earn respect from the traditional stand-up world. They debate whether that stigma is fading, why LA might be more welcoming to character-driven performers, and how killing it at festivals like Moontower starts to make the doubters go quiet.
    Mo and the guys also get brutally honest about the business side of touring — the venues that overprice tickets without telling you, ticketing sites that silently reject American Express, how to read a contract, and the smart way to scale up your ad spend in the final days before a show.
    There's also a genuinely unhinged Airbnb horror story set in San Francisco involving miniature figurines, a hundred identical mugs, automated locks, a spiral staircase, and a host who gave them a two-hour tour at 1 a.m.
    In this episode we cover:
    • "Your sister" roast battle to open the show
    • Mo's wild Kill Tony origin story — car breakdown, 4-hour wait, last-minute save
    • Going viral from Kill Tony and what it did for ticket sales
    • Social media comics vs. traditional stand-up gatekeepers — is the tide turning?
    • The stress of performing in your home city and selling tickets
    • Creepy San Francisco Airbnb horror story
    • Best and worst cities on the road (crackhead city rankings included)
    • Smart ad spend strategy for comedy shows
    • Bad venue contracts, overpriced tickets, and broken ticketing sites
    • Gas station snack power rankings and New York pizza debates
    • Pasta with peas, Formica chairs, and Italian food authenticity
    • Mo's Northeast tour preview including Buffalo theater show
    • The "Indicted" tour series and the upcoming "Not Guilty" chapter
    • Kill Tony at Madison Square Garden excitement
