    Love these guys!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple of years and they never fail to make me laugh or cry during the more serious topics. Truly thankful for them and wish for another 600 episodes!

    Love the Show!
    I look forward to each episode every week. And I learn a lot about stuff I wouldn’t normally look up myself.

    Love this show
    Longtime listener here, since season 1. Every week, Mike and Kyle bring humanity, humor, and heart to a variety of topics through the lens of LGBTQ+ perspectives. I highly recommend this show.

    Simply The Best
    Hi Mike & Kyle. I’ve been listening since day one. I love the show, topics, and both of you. Everyone should listen to this show & if you’re not….You're missing out deeply. (and not in a good way.) Peace ✌🏽 & Love 💙 Aways 🙏🏽

    Great Topics
    Mike and Kyle have great energy. They tackle topics that our community need to discuss. I just listened to their podcast concerning internalized homophobia. Tough topic but they handled it very well.

    Love it
    As a out gay guy i am still learning and growing from this podcast. I have been out since 2012 and this podcast lets me know I’m still a learning 31 year old baby. Love Kyle and Mike and recently started from the beginning and can’t stop listening.

    Excellent Show
    Title says it all.

    Charming and sustainable listening
    Having listened to this podcast from the start, it’s been fantastic to witness Mike and Kyle’s evolution as hosts and humans. They provide didactic humor infused with humility and vulnerability. The two are honest and respectful but also exist in multitudes which is the essence of the gay experience. Listening to them is like spending time with your sometimes cunty, informed, and witty friends ONCE a week— which is a testament in today’s world. Disregard the extremely lame low ratings based on a partial listen or protest about an episodes’ topic; make some friends and learn new things.

    It’s great but
    The show is great and relatable but it’s disappointing what they think the state of Nevada is. It’s a great place.

    Love these guys!
    I just recently came across this podcast. Late bloomer, I guess. I enjoy the subjects- always learning something new. I especially love Mike and Kyle’s sense of humor even when discussing serious and/or depressing subjects. As a gay man who came out later in life who deals with depression, anxiety, and self confidence issues, I can relate to these guys. Keep it up, Kyle and Mike. You make me think, laugh, and cry. You also help me realize maybe, just maybe, I’ll be okay.
  • A + Z 4 Ever
    Amazing insight while providing a sense of community
    As a recently out gay man I love love love this podcast. It aligns with my political views while also being self aware and intelligent. Mike and Kyle have fun with it and always make the subject a blast to learn more about. Highly recommend listening no matter who you are!

    I listined to their episode about the Bible
    I listened to the episode about the Bible, trying to find holes in they’re studies, but they chatted about the dumbest stuff, and I lost braincells before they even mentioned Leviticus 18

    Favorite Gay Podcast
    I’ve been listening since 2017 when it started and this podcast honestly got me through some of the loneliest times of my life. Mike and Kyle are so fun to listen to and are like little gay friends in your ears. So many gay podcasts are either self help or hosted by gays with big egos and little substance. I wouldn’t look to this podcast for any self help and I’m not sure how much substance is here, but Mike and Kyle’s banter keeps me around. 6 out of 5 stars.

    Victim mentality
    Unfortunately, this show did not resonate with me, and it is important to note that I only listened for fifteen minutes. Within that brief timeframe, the hosts repeatedly used the terms triggering, homophobic, and transphobic. It is disheartening to witness hosts who believe that ‘woke’ generalizations are essential and that adopting a victim mentality should define their show. As a gay man, I’m disappointed that a significant portion of the gay community has embraced this way of thinking. The tendency to label something as automatically bad or dismiss it simply because it doesn’t perfectly align with one’s own values is disheartening. It promotes a polarized mindset that inhibits productive discussions. It’s important to develop resilience and understand that it’s okay for someone to hold a different viewpoint without it being a personal attack.

    Just what I was looking for
    As someone who always had trouble finding my place within the gay community. Most of the popular outlets didn't match my interests or personality, and so many of the gay guys I met would get catty and judgmental if I didn't fit the gay stereotypes. This podcast addressed the stereotypes specifically and challenged all that head on. As they did that, I started to feel more welcome in the community and like I might actually have a place at the table. The audience is active, friendly, and welcoming in the Facebook group as well. The show is fun, and yet occasionally devastating when something serious comes through amidst the humor. I feel lucky to have discovered the show. Also, thank god they don’t talk about Drag Race!

    I’m tired of listening to people who hate themselves and can’t take anything seriously.

    Mame
    Bea Arthur played Vera Charles to Angela Landsbury’s Mame. And to Lucy’s Mame. Never, to my knowledge, did she play Mame. But I enjoy you fellas!
  • Firedragonsf
    Just awesome!
    I really enjoy this show. Mike and Kyle have created such a great venue to discuss topics that relate to the Queer community. Not only interesting and informative, these boys are also super entertaining! I highly recommend joining.
  • S-Gay
    Like hanging out with good friends
    It’s a pleasure to listen to friends Mike and Kyle discuss various topics from their different perspectives, addressing gay stereotypes and sharing personal stories. They also feature really engaging guests from time to time. My favorite thing, though is how supportive they are of one another, and their willingness to be vulnerable- real treasures in the world of male friendship. Oh, and did I mention they are hella funny?
  • adam hackel
    Like an old friend
    I don’t always agree with everything you say but over the last many years that I have spent with you too it has been an enriching experience for me. You’ve done so many episodes over the years that I have reflected on that I have thought about and that I’ve referred to other people whether I thought they were super funny or insightful or uplifting, but in the end always a consistent friend I turn on. I also credit you guys with turning me on to two of my other favorite podcasts.I laugh with you I cry with you and in the end it’s just a lot of fun keep up the great work. So Not sure if this helps, I reviewed a while ago (above) but just wanted to add. Still love your podcast. I love that you turn me on to some any other great Gay Podcasts. Your lexicon is so inclusive, if you swore less (mike) I’d refer you to my students. The Gay and Lesbian Friends episode was so timely. My LBFF that I’ve known since 97 and I decided to hold our one Pride in Rehoboth, DE that same weekend and talked about your episode a lot. Very personal and Poignant. Finally although I’m not Transgender, I still think your Episode with Ms. Talk, Sara, stands out as my favorite. I have sent it to many Parents of Transgender and questioning youth. You do do much for our community, and yes, make us laugh. So with two reviews is that a 10?

    This show is by far one of my favorites! The topics are great, the show is great, and I really appreciate when somethings that wasn’t supposed to be that deep gets deep. Thanks for a great show week in and week out!

    Good Podcast, just don’t listen to the Britney episode
    I wanted to give you guys 5 stars, however, after doing a bit of a deep dive and stumbling upon the Britney Spears episode I had to deduct a star. Like I get it, Mike isn’t impressed with Britney. He doesn’t have to like her but some of his comments come off as pretentious and rude and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Claiming Britney “went crazy” is such a boomer take on the situation. Other than the aforementioned, I really enjoy this podcast.

    Love the Podcast
    I love this podcast! It’s a weekly ritual of mine to catch up with what topic Mike and Kyle has in store, and every time I laugh and learn something. I recommend this to anyone who likes to listen to something casual where the hosts don’t just feed you with information.
  • freedoomboy
    Informative and Fun
    Mike and Kyle are great! So much fun to listen to and super informative. They really go the extra mile in researching their weekly topics and their sweet chemistry goes a long way in making it an enjoyable listen! They work very well off of each other, and their mix of irreverence and poignancy makes for a terrific combo! Thanks for all the great content, guys! Keep up the good work!

    One of my favorite weekly podcast to listen to. Love hearing a queer perspective on things from sometime experts and sometimes not! Thanks Mike, Kyle and F***ing Dan!

    Hysterical and real podcast
    I have loved this podcast for a long time and owed it a review. Hysterical, real, a got to listen to!
  • BryanBott
    Smart and satisfying
    I hate this podcast—Mike and Kyle have managed to consume my free time with this addictive podcast. I listened to one episode back in May and now am trying to listen to their entire back catalogue. Their topics are interesting, their humor smart/ridiculous, their conversation frank, and their candor & vulnerability refreshing. I recommend this podcast to all of my friends.
