Why Won't You Love Yourself?

Why Won't You Love Shun? on Netflix's The Boyfriend

Dear viewers, we were truly unable to fully come to terms with our opinions on Sh*n from Netflix's new sensational gay Asian dating show, The Boyfriend. This could potentially be our last episode... Tensions rise as we try to list off our rankings of the members... Who's Lee's #1?! Why does everyone love Kazuto? Was Nuri right about what might potentially happen in the last two episodes?! (At the time of recording, it was not out yet... and yes, he was.) Thanks for tuning and listening to our amazing cultural commentary on the show that's sweeping over Gaysia right now! We'll be back with some regularly scheduled (or irregularly??) program soon! Maybe... with someone who everyone has 💦 to?! Is it time for the O*lyF*ns episode?!

LOVE Hierarchies and Baby Gays

We're working late 'cause we're podcasters (four times a year). 🎶 Welcome back to our pod! Hopefully, everyone tuned in to our special guest appearance on @literallygaysians during our mid-season break. 😛 Keep your eyes peeled in the future for potentially more cross-over episodes, but with hopefully less ageist jokes and discourse.... We would hate to get cancelled on someone else's podcast (because then it wouldn't be ours that goes viral), so we double down and talk a bit more about everyone's favourite topic: HIERARCHIES. LOVE hierarchies. Hierarchies are our FAVOURITE. Speaking of EDC as well, it was such a fun time getting to meet some of the listeners of the pod and it was also there where we got our inspiration for another topic of discussion: baby gays?! What does Lee think about these fggt fetuses? Do they even actually exist within the community in the context of what Nuri defines them as? And most importantly, LOVE baby gays. Thank you all so much for the continued support! It always means a lot to us, knowing that our voices are amplified within this community. Whether that's a good thing or not, tbd. But one thing we know for sure... LOVE podcasting.

New Year Newri Newlee

Baby can't you seeeEeEe? You belong with meEeEeEeee! It's a new year, new episode, and we're coming out as #Swifties! As in we'll swiftly leave the room if Taylor is playing. It's been a long time since we've caught up so obviously, the first thing Nuri needed to vent is about someone famous he saw. Take tips if you don't want to rub Nuri the wrong way (or the right way... 😏) A lot has happened since our last episode! Nuri talks about his trip to see Lee in LA and what his favourite parts were (🍆? 💦???!) and Lee may or may not tell a little story what "fun" he might've had at Taiwan pride. We also apparently regress back to our first few episodes where we talk a lot about belonging. What does it mean to "belong" in a community or a city? Why is it so difficult to make new gay friends the older you get? Thank you for listening and supporting us after THREE. WHOLE. YEARS?!? It was also really nice getting to see people in person who support the pod!

Authenticity (re-upload)

Originally published February 1, 2021 Our apologies for the late release; we were having an OnlyFans dinner in PV. But really though.... Can you believe it? EPISODE TEN. 🥳 🎊🎉 After a brief stint of just bantering, we’re finally back on a topic!  On the subject of being late as well, we’re a few weeks behind but we address the whether or not people should cancel gays over covid, @GaysOverCovid, or #GaysOverGaysOverCovid... We also talk about some listener DMs— specifically one that unabashedly called one of us bitter. But who’s the actual bitter one and who’s just secretly hiding it? And in the spirit of continuing this never-ending saga/story of Lee’s confrontation, he has an update on something else that happened and it might’ve unlocked a repressed memory from Nuri. OUR MAIN TOPIC OF THE WEEK... month..... whenever we want(?)..... is authenticity and clout-chasing, sprinkled in with a little talk of validation. What does it mean to be authentic on the internet? Do people deserve authenticity? What are the differences between being transparent and being authentic? Will anything Nuri says about this topic sound cohesive and non-self-contradictory? Who knows? Our last lil bit to end off the show (forever!!!!) ((jk)) is Nuri leaving. Lee decided to surprise Nur with a little list of “top Nuri and Lee moments”— which also threw Nuri off because he doesn’t top that often. (jk only if ur really cute.) Will he be back from the cold hell that is Calgary?! Will he finally ride a cowboy?!

Thirst Traps (re-upload)

Originally published May 16, 2020 We’re queer, we’re here, and we’re about to get canceled! Join us as we examine our bad life decisions, talk shit, and take a deep dive into our personal stories and experiences of being gay and Asian. Sometimes funny, mostly not serious. In this premier episode, we talk about Gaysians at EDC, sincerity in Tinder bios, Lee goes on an apology tour, and Nuri finds a community through posting thirst traps on Tumblr.
