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 am...

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 everyon...

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 ...

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 unabashedl...

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....

No Pride but Plenty of Prejudice

We're back to celebrate the end of summer with a new episode! Here's hoping that listening to us ramble won't make you a little homophobic. We do a quick catch-up about what's been going on. Is Nuri going to be a potential reality tv star in the making? What kind of fun interactions did Lee recently have with the LA #gaysian community?! How many donks will Nuri manage to engulf on his trip to LA? (Hopefully, any number more than none would be ideal.) Our main topic is Pride! What does it mean to...

Hi, it's us again, we're back. Let's talk ASAP. Do you have the time? Let's talk! 🐰 Lots and lots of big changes here on the pod since the last time we've released an episode! Nuri came ** * ***, Lee ** and ** * **.... You'll have to listen to find out. 😜 (Although genuinely, it's no news that we're both in different cities again. We catch up on our trip to EDC... again?! For two people who consistently talk about how much they don't care for it, we sure do end up there a lot. There are some s...

Rolling and Trolling for Tongue (at EDC)

Hi gay! Happy Pride month! It would be homophobic of us to not release something, wouldn't it? We're back like an elephant with a vengeance! In this episode we talk about our recent New York City trip, EDC and the new movie Fire Island! Why did we end up having an argument in Vegas? What kind of sticky situations did Lee find his hands full of in a Vegas hotel room surrounded by gaysians?.... And why is Nuri now coming out as a home of phobe? And to wrap it all up, we talk about the new movie Fi...

Getting Some D

Normally, our episode descriptions are a lot more light hearted... Like which one of us knew someone in high school who ate a cupcake covered in *? What kind of drama and gossip happened during a famous Gaysian DJ's visit to Vancouver?! (Hey @dnzamusic) And has all this TikTok fame gotten to Lee's head, thus creating a riff in our relationship?!??!!?? Jokes aside, in this episode, Nuri and Lee are finally going in deep with each other. Lee gets to prod Nuri's deepest, darkest holes while Nuri ge...

EDC = Erotic Distant Cousin

We’re back! New year, new us, except this was recorded last year so we’re still chaotic and messy. Which one of us is longing for a gentle touch or some tongue action from a brotherly figure? (Hint: obviously it’s the only child). In this episode, we quickly recap the past months including Lee’s trip to an exclusive, invite-only homepa when we went to Vegas for EDC and Nuri’s newfound addiction to narcotics. For legal reasons, that’s a joke. Don’t do drugs. We also carry in the tradition of havi...

Shang-Chi and the Seven C*ck Rings

Is this our most chaotic episode yet??? Come along for a WILD ride as we touch on Shang-Chi (who wouldn’t want to touch Simu? And Tony Leung, hello), some quick life updates, a discussion on submissive and breedable gaysians, Awkwafina, daddy figures, fingers in mouths, porn, molly and a gigantic fight that led to Lee and Nuri almost ending their friendship. This entire episode is basically Lee getting (de)railed by Nuri because Nuri made the wise decision to take some edibles (for the “first”-i...

Thot Shit + Q&A (Queers & Ass)

In this explosive first episode of our second season, we catch up and update on each other’s lives. Did Nuri recently self-diagnose himself with BPD? Did Lee actually get diagnosed with sleep apnea? Spoiler: the answer to both is yes. We also talk about how we’re slowly adapting to the reopening of everything, and while one of us is enjoying kiki’-ing with the gays again, the other is completely not ready to socialize. Lee also shares an embarrassing encounter recently.... ish. Then we dive into...

BONUS - Thirst Traps: One Year (and six weeks) Later

To celebrate our (late.... late....... late.........) one year anniversary, we decided to record ourselves reacting to the very first episode! We cringe at the things we say, repeat ourselves over and over, and dissect whether or not Lee has gotten better at telling stories. (Spoiler alert: No.) This is a VIDEO episode, so hit up our Instagram or YouTube and check it out there....

Monogamy

More than a year into this Panera Bread and we’re still barely getting by. Nuri gives some quick updates to his situation in Calgary since he’s stuck in isolation and we both issue some context to (TW: Unfunny Content) Lee’s most recent IG post. We also talk about our Gaysian celebrity icon, the one and only #Wonho, and his accidental revealing slip-up. #WENEEs unite! We have to make sure his music career flops so he resorts to other things for money.... (👀 onlyfans.com/wonhole???) Our main top...

Online Friends

You know how growing up, your parents would always tell you to not talk to strangers online? Well— now you get to see what happens when one of us took that advice seriously and the other catfished as a white twink in his mid-twenties online to build confidence in his own personality. In this episode, we talk about Nuri’s move to Calgary and how it’s affected his mental health, Lee’s obviously miserable and lonely time back home in Vancouver without the gracious presence of Nuri, and the queen of...

Lee and Nuri bleep each other while bleeping , and Nuri bleeped all over him own face... jk. Well, there’s quite a bit of censorship in this episode because the gaysian community is tiny and we are *not* a call-out podcast… or are we? This episode will feature the conclusion to Lee’s saga of coming face-to-face with his “accuser.” Find out also what makes us both ask the question, “ is dick cheese dairy? ” Please help us grow by liking, subscribing, and leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts. :) ...

Reputation

ARE YOU READY FOR IT? In this episode, we recap our trip to Sooke, Lee’s traumatic experiences with the game Truth or Dare with gaysians, and Nuri’s experience which left a stain on this memory. This deep dive is all about reputation in the gay(sian) community. We know most of you have been in the situation where you match with someone on Tinder, find their Instagram, and immediately message your friends who are mutuals with them and ask what they know about the person.

Mean Gaysians

In this episode, we discuss the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement, Lee addresses Nuri’s haters and talks about sleeping with friends, and Nuri comes to the realization that having a group of gaysian friends stopped him from sucking white dick (kinda)!
