These Unprecedented Gays

Send us Fan Mail This week the boys focus on all the unprecedented things happening in our world.  Unprecedented fires. Unprecedented politics.  Unprecedented everything.  We are starting to think about how aptly our podcast was named.  We thought that during a global pandemic, how could it ever get worse?  Well . . . asked and answered.   @tugayspod tugayspod@yahoo.com #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia+ #san...

Send us Fan Mail This week we bring you a "Road Warriors" episode.  We are on the road driving from Los Angeles to San Diego and thought it would be fun to talk about our weekend in LA.  We play a little game that is aimed at helping you learn more about us all.  Our thoughts go out to our listeners in Los Angeles who are dealing with the wild fires raging through that region.  We hope y...

Send us Fan Mail Happy New Year Tuggers, Tuggettes and Tuggums!  It has been a crazy 2024 and before we all get sucked into an even crazier 2025, we thought we would do a year in review. Here about all the surprising, provocative, insane things that happened last year.      @tugayspod tugayspod@yahoo.com #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia+ #sandiego #gaysandiego #gaycommedy #2024yearinreview #2024lookback #cal...

Send us Fan Mail This week, the boys reminisce about straight crushes from our childhood and teen years.  It seems inevitable that a queer person develops attractions to people that do not feel the same for them.  This archetype of the unattainable love (both sexual and romantic) is a major theme in our fantasies as well as in queer literature, movies and television. Everyone has stories of that o...

Send us Fan Mail Focus on the good . . . focus on the good . . . This week, we provide part three of our series on social media and its impact on our world.  This week, it is a focus on good things.  While the country is in a tailspin, we are going to look at positivity, joy, connectedness and those beautiful moments where our digital connection has make a positive impact on someone's life. ...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, after a nightmare election night, the boys find comfort in each other.  If we are going to be miserable, at least we get to go through it together.  This week we offer a break from harsh reality by focusing on Nick's and Joe's recent trip to the UK.  We all need a little distraction from the insanity that we are living in. We hope we can provide a moment...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode the boys chat with Hunter Schwarz, the founder of Yello and a seasoned journalist with credits from The Washington Post, CNN, and Buzzfeed. Hunter brings his unique expertise at the intersection of politics, pop culture, and visual media to unpack the key cultural and aesthetic trends shaping the upcoming election. We explore how design, social media, and popular c...

Send us Fan Mail This week, the boys are back with part 2 of our 3-part social media series.  This week, we talk about situations where people have had consequences from posts they made on social media.  Be careful what you post.  It seems that what you say can and will be held against you . . . even if you think nobody noticed.   @tugayspod tugayspod@yahoo.com #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia+ #sandiego #ga...

Send us Fan Mail This week, the boys talk about social media trends that become harmful.  TikTok and Inst challenges that go from fun to tragic, or posts that end up having dire consequences for the people who made them.  Our digital age gives access to things we might otherwise never see or learn about.  That broadens horizons and allows us to see the diversity of our bigger world.  But it someti...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Joe and Paul welcome a special guest, Joshua Schubart. Born and raised on Long Island, Joshua has been working as a professional actor for over a decade.  Joshua had a tough childhood, growing up homeless and in the foster care system.

Send us Fan Mail TU Gays Pod gives you a special edition episode.  We preempt our regularly scheduled episode to dish about this week's US Presidential Debate.  Yas Queens!

Send us Fan Mail This week, the boys focus on good news.  Let's talk about things that make us smile, warm our hearts, bring tears to our eyes, and just remind us that life is ok.  It is so easy to focus on the negative, but we wanted to shine the light on goodness, love, compassion and utter cuteness.         @tugayspod tugayspod@yahoo.com #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia+ #sandiego #gaysandiego #gayco...

Send us Fan Mail This week, the boys do a de-brief of the 2024 Paris Olympics.  There is so much to talk about from the gay perspective. We had a summer filled with amazing performances, competitive drama, and incredible spectacles.  Join us and see if you agree with our unique and sometimes opposing perspectives what played out on the world stage.       @tugayspod tugayspod@yahoo.com #lgbt #lgbtq...

Send us Fan Mail Happy Season 5 people!  We are so excited to start our fifth season of These Unprecedented Gays!  In some way, it feels like it was just yesterday that we were kicking off our first few episodes.  We have a lot of fun things planned for this new season.  In fact, we were so excited we started recording early. We started our podcast in unprecedented times during the COVID pandemic....

Dr. Carlton Thomas.  Aside from being a board certified, Mayo Clinic trained gastroen...

Send us Fan Mail For the last official episode of Season 4, the boys continue their walk on memory lane.  For all of us, this brought up memories (both joys and traumas) we don't often think about.  That was a great way to end the season. We are swimming in nostalgia and just don't want to get out of the pool!   Come join us -- the water's fine! tugayspod@yahoo.com  #lgbt #lgbtq #lg...

Send us Fan Mail This week, the boys take a trip back to childhood, when life was easy, where things were magical, and were our imaginations ran wild with adventure and possibility.  As Willy Wonka said, "Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination."   tugayspod@yahoo.com  #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia+ #sandiego #gaysandiego #gaycommedy #childhood #nostalgia #simplertimes   ...

Send us Fan Mail After a week off, the boys workshop a new feature called, "Did she eat?!?!" After that, get ready for a very "moving" episode where we break down the major even in Paul's and Andy's life -- the move to our new home/podcast studio. Moving is hard!  Moving after you have lived in the same place for 9 years is even harder. We downsized to a smaller place...

Send us Fan Mail This week the boys talk about cheaters.  More specifically how cheaters get caught.  With technology being so pervasive in our lives these days, it seems to have gotten harder and harder to cover your tracks or remain undetected.  Here are some fun ways that cheaters got caught.  We know you will enjoy it.            tugayspod@yahoo.com  #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia+ #sandiego #gaysandie...

Send us Fan Mail This week Paul and Joe talk about queer spaces, their significance in the past and today, how they have changed, how they continue to be important, and how we continue to depend on them for connection, community, validation, and to some degree, safety. Queer spaces could be a digital platform, a church, youth group, bar, night club, or even a chosen family.  We all need a place to...
