Ep 172 - The Queer in Review

Before the lads tell you their ins and outs for the year ahead they detail a recent chaotic night out in the George over Christmas where Kevin was kissing all the boys and PJ was ordering single drinks and not getting a divorce. They then discuss what they want to see more of in 2025 and things they can’t wait to see the back of that should be left in the past. Big points of discussion are respect for quiet spaces, cruising and a Leona Lewis comeback.

It's the last episode before Christmas and the lads are recording the episode in front of PJ's Christmas tree and are feeling festive so they decide that it's the Christmas special. They talk all about Kevin's ordeal with having his phone stolen at the weekend with him wishing his housemate left his scarf at home and they disclose the reason why Skype brought him to tears. They then read out some submissions of terrible gifts that people received for Christmas including a Rubik's cube that was bought for a blind boy and an organiser that was bought for the main planner of a secret Santa.

Kevin talks about a manic message he received from a follower on Instagram after a dramatic altercation with a moth and PJ talks about the difficulties of navigating a quiet life in Japan when you're a massive yapper. For the theme they discuss all their tips, tricks and hot takes when it comes to letting the hair down at office Christmas parties and also reflect on the most chaotic Christmas party to ever take place, the Stryker Christmas party of 2019 (but it's all only alleged bits that happened as the lads don't fancy being sued).

The lads are back after a brief hiatus with a scandalacious and swankified episode. They first fill you in on what's been happening since PJ left for his honeymoon in Japan and Kevin stayed on in Melbourne and share all the details of their trip to the tattoo shop for their matching 'That's Showbiz, Baby' tattoos. Does Kevin regret getting one or has this sparked a new tattoo obsession? They then give you the Wicked review that nobody asked for, revealing what they loved and didn't like so much from the movie, talk about the heartthrob that is Jonathan Bailey and give the last riff from Defying Gravity a go just for giggles.

The lads are still in Australia and to cope with the post-show comedown Kevin decided to post a risky pic on his close friends on Instagram in the hope that he'd have a few boys in the dms but it all goes south. They then discuss their experiences of auditions and talk of their desperation for a gig when they were for trying to make it in the industry and read out submissions of chaotic audition experiences from listeners including a tale of a certain stage school teacher in Ireland who ripped kids to shreds over their teeth in preparation for an Avonmore milk advert.
