  • That laugh

    This show is so funny. And Colton’s laugh, when you hear it, you can only laugh with him. Love the vibe, the gayness, the silliness. I look like a crazy person laughing by myself at the gym but I can live with that.

  • Bring back Cam

    Interviews are ok but the chemistry between Colten & Cam made this far more interesting. It’s a gay podcast so stick to lgbtq+interviews and topics.

  • Over it

    I’m down to clown and love nonsense but this pod has become unlistenable. Cowboy Cam was funny for about 5 minutes when he first came on. The constant giggling over his own unfunny jokes is annoying and makes me need to constantly turn down the volume.

    Colton doesn’t save the show either. He is perpetually unprepared and could at minimum get a good interview out of the guest. Instead the comedy is just trying to shock guests with gay sex details, addiction issues and his open marriage. He need... more

  • Most of this is Bad (now)

    Just listened to the last episode and realized this pod is no longer for me. Loved the show with Dylan, Colton and Jimmy. The recent episode with Trinity and the cowboy kid… I should have just listened to paint dry. Best of luck on your future endeavors.

    I really enjoyed Dylan and Colton until it was just Dylan and Colton. The new format is just them talking in the beginning. Rough.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Is Uncle Lazer Sober?"
Q: What lesson did you learn from the boxing Skank Fest experience?
It was about testing limits and learning to manage fear, especially under the pressure of something that felt bigger than life—acknowledging when you're outmatched and deciding whether to push through or pivot your approach.
"The Ideal 'Good Boy' Situation" with Ricci Armani
Q: Why are you pursuing a country album despite hesitations from others?
Ricci says the project makes him happy and uncomfortable in equal measure, which signals he's in the right space and following a meaningful creative path.
"The Ideal 'Good Boy' Situation" with Ricci Armani
Q: What's your vibe on playing into the character others want you to be?
Ricci explains that he sometimes leans into character work but often prefers authenticity, valuing the space where he can exceed expectations and stay true to himself.
"Luxembourg Language" with Román Harvey
Q: What should I do instead? If I want to grow my hair?
You have to inject three separate things. The Glow Together is bad, but separately it's good.
"Year Of The Snake" with Brent Reed
Q: Are you in an open marriage?
It's hard to find a person that you're both attracted to, especially when we have just different types.
