Gayish: 273 Frat Guys: Live from Treefort in Boise

Gayish: 272 Incest

Whatever consenting adults do behind closed doors is their own business… right? While we often hear this refrain to support gay issues, we test the boundaries of its truth by discussing the uncomfortable topic of incest. We cover worldwide societal norms; the Bible; the Westermarck Effect; the theory of Genetic Sexual Attraction; step-dad, step-son, and step-brother incest porn; consanguineous relationships; and, of course, the TV show Private Practice.
Remember to submit audio or written entries to our theme song contest by April 1, and check out our Pacific Northwest tour dates at gayishpodcast.com/live.
In this episode: News- 5:43 || Main Topic (Incest)- 24:50 || Gayest & Straightest- 1:33:07
On this very special bonus Patreon segment, it’s a family affair! We have Ma Johnson join for a ridiculous Momsplaining, and Kyle surprises Mike with the text messages Mike’s brothers sent when Kyle asked them, if they were gay, would they be attracted to Mike?

Star Trek superfan, Klingon speaker, and host of the podcast Queersplaining Callie Wright joins us to nerd out with Mike.

Gayish: 268 Lip Gloss

Men’s makeup has made strides in availability and acceptability, but lip gloss is a perfect example of how, even in makeup, men’s products are expected to be practical, subtle, and, of course, not too feminine. We talk about stereotypes we’re ashamed to have and the rules we wish we could break.

Gayish: 267 Cum

How much cum do you think you can handle in one episode?  Because there is so much cum.  We said cum SO many times.  We say cum far more than the number of times you should cum per month to help avoid prostate cancer.  We say at least 4 pizzas worth of cum, but that will only make sense if you listen.
In this episode: News- 2:55 || Main Topic (Cum)- 14:15 || Gayest & Straightest- 1:12:47
Coming to the Patreon bonus segment, we answer the question "What does cum smell like?" and Mike shares 100 euphemisms for cum. Get tons of bonus content for $5/mo at patreon.com/gayishpodcast.

Gayish: 266 Love

Unlike my hole, the word love is overloaded. We break down love the Greek way, how straight people’s view of gay love affects our rights, love languages (and the shithead that created them), and what queer love can teach straight people.

Coming to the Patreon bonus segment, Mike share gay love letters from history, and everyone melts. Get tons of bonus content for $5/mo at patreon.com/gayishpodcast.

Known-younger-guy-dater Mike commiserates while Kyle gets to hang back and play armchair psychologist.

Gayish: 264 UFC

What do Rosie O’Donnell’s brother, John McCain, GLAAD, and submission holds have in common? Surprisingly, it’s the UFC. We talk about the explicitly gay parts (like the engaged lesbian UFC fighter couple), the homoerotic parts (which inspired our game of “MMA move or sex act”), and the straight parts (like how there are no out gay male UFC fighters), and we confront the serious question: is it okay to joke about how homoerotic the UFC is?
In this episode: News- 5:51 || Main Topic (UFC)- 21:20 || Gayest & Straightest- 1:08:49
