The Male Gayz Podcast

All it took was 6 months, a reality tv dancing competition, overseas travel, two cases of Covid and a book for the boys to reunite and bring you an hour long episode of their podcast. After being sparked into action by Kim Kardashian wearing a jock-strap, Chris messaged Eli and finally the boys are back. Don't Worry Darling, cause we are going to catch you up on all the truly monumental things that have happened in our lives in the space between episodes. We are basically different people now. Will they be back next week? Will there be any more reality tv shows for them to be on? Will they every become the first gay men to achieve anything in their lives. Only time will tell.
