In this episode of Romance Out Loud, the boys dive into the uproar surrounding a recent graduation speech by Kansas City Chiefs kicker, Harrison Butker, who might be sending off gaydar signals... or not. The speech, delivered at a conservative Catholic college, included controversial remarks on women's roles and pride, which have since ignited a firestorm of criticism and debate.

This week, the trio confronts a humbling truth: Romance Out Loud hasn't made it into the top 100 gay podcasts list. From questioning the metrics of podcast rankings to speculating about ghost listeners, the conversation meanders through the strange algorithms of social media, the morbid fascination with historical post-mortem photography, and the bizarre aspects of modern celebrity culture, including a cheeky nod to Ricky Martin's viral towel pic. Of course we've got the Stormy Daniels testimony and the latest updates on Trump's legal battles.  If you love a mix of humor, hot takes, and heartfelt discussions, this episode is for you.

A veritable ship of fools sails the globe these days. We've got ammosexuals forgetting that bullets can keep them trapped in paradise. We've got Dubai flooding for what we can only surmise is their disdain for LGBTQ+ to publicly hold hands. We've got our own American Tooter sitting in court defying (or adding to) gag orders and all kinds of other puns. Enjoy!

A bit of a history lesson on some key court decisions affecting LGBTQ+ lives and the current justices who are out to undo all the progress. But that's enough comedy! Have you seen the latest courtroom sketches? Speaking about 'sketch comedy' and courtroom gag orders, something doesn't quite smell right at a certain someone's trial.

A total eclipse for the ages has the boys talking about everything but Bonnie Tyler. The life-changing experience is not to be missed if you ever get the chance but heed our advice: keep your phones down and enjoy the moment! Some of us didn't listen. Also, is being big and stupid attractive? Plus some nudie mag talk and a game show that could be called Deal or Death. Enjoy!

You want your money laundered? Let us count the ways a former President has done just that. Let's just say those Towers of "Babble" around the world that carry a certain name ain't really occupied by much other than grift. From literal trials and the tribulations of women's rights in Florida, the boys tack a bit political in this episode (what isn't these days?) but there's a reason. When they go after the gays, all bets are off.

Beyonce's white horse and big western hat has a few old-country racists seeing red ... and we're here for all of it. Go Queen Bey! Meanwhile, the Feds are combing Combs (as in P Diddy) for some nasty evidence of really bad things as accusations fly. Person, woman, man, camera, TV? Nah. More like: Hat, house, Kate, crow, getting molested.

Can a gay man have a good time at a straight strip club? Of course! But some straight men hestitate going to gay bars, even with friends. Why is that? Also, if you're gay, you probably know a flight attendant or two. Back in the early days (and the glamor days) of air travel flight attendants had to put up with much more than air rage and unwashed, underdressed passengers. They had to fight for their rights to marry, have decent pay and not be fired at age 32.

Oh there's dust in the air! An automatic vacuum goes rogue as the boys kick up the dirt over dirty websites in Texas.  Yep, the latest sex "crime" has porn lovers scrambling for alternative ways of finding their filth.

Chadrick is on the move again. Again? Yep. But there's lots to ponder in this episode. Keeping up appearances has become a royal pain in the ass. Plus, another psychic, another choking hazard for one of the presidential candidates. Time to raid the kitty and hope no one scratches!

The State of the Union produced some of the best comedy material in recent memory and the internet didn't disappoint. Speaking of politics, we gays are still scared of the future if things go bad, but fewe were more scary this past week than Alabama Senator Katie Britt and her demon-eyes-Stepford rebuttal to the President's speech. Oh and the Oscars happened!

What does it mean to be bissextile? It's not what you think. Let's talk about keeping our privates private, being pee shy and what "mirror-mirror on the wall" really means. It'a actually mirror-mirror on the wall, and floor, and ceiling.

Are shelves of eggs in Alabama supermarkets now considered orphanages? OK, it's a stolen paraphrased joke, but thank you Betty Bowers for allowing us to laugh at this! We talk Beyonce going country, the Grand Ol' Opry, fires at landmark buildings and a "fine people" comment from a Fox News guest that went over like a racist lead balloon. It's March, folks! Deal with it.

Superbowl hangover? Not here! Yes, there's Taylor Swift talk and Ye's antics at the game but in the end, she was the focus, right? Oh yea, and the team that won the damn thing. The boys also talk about collectibles which naturally turns the conversation to racism. Huh? Very interesting.

The post-Valentine's Day episode is here with lots of plate throwing and breakup talk and loofahs for everyone! Meanwhile that other big day has also passed and we do our best to predict what would/did happen at the Super Bowl having recorded our episode prior to both days. Also, you'll never guess who the Taylor Swift haters are lifting to become their answer to her star power. You just won't. Nope.

Chadrick is off on a cruise so Lee and Mike play backup singers to the vacationing 'Diva of Dialogue' and talk about body grooming, manscaping products, supermarket dilemmas and why parking lots are more dangerous than holes being blown off the side of airplanes. Happy travels everyone!

We're in the throes of winter season, award season, bitching season so we talk about all of this and more in this episode. From icy queens on power trips to marrying cousins and award show faux pas, we've covered it!

Cruise drink packages... worth it? Would you go see a wet t-shirt contest with 80-year-olds? That gay New Year's kiss on CNN reminds us of a time when American TV was more daring than it is today. Plus, you'll never guess who got dissed in the most gay-bitch fashion at a congressional  c̶l̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶w̶ hearing. Actually, you can kind of guess.

Last call at the bar? Don't get caught with the lights on, unless of course, you're just getting in touch with your inner whoredom. We're talking the "speakeasy" days of gay bars and what constitutes a "happy snitch."
