Ep 6: Make Hay While the Balls are Taut

⁠⁠https://medium.com/@nickbeefman⁠⁠Recorded in the corner of a busy pub over a few jars, this episode welcomes our first ever guest—who also happens to be a half-brother of one of our Heros. What follows is a slow spiral of genuine connection, mild sabotage, and unsolicited moustache compliments. Somewhere between defending a love of oat milk and rewriting the definition of “a cool gay man,” we stumble into the murky terrain of dating apps, confused swipes, and the quiet hum of repressed curiosity.There’s vulnerability here—though you’ll need to squint between the dick jokes and sudden shirtlessness to see it. We talk about the weirdness of family, the straight man’s limited vocabulary for admiration, and the strange comfort of being seen, even when the lighting’s bad and your balls are tight. At some point, someone leaves the table. At another, someone almost cries. No one learns anything, but somehow things feel a little better by the end.https://medium.com/@nickbeefmanhttps://nickbeefman.substack.com/https://www.silentnoises.co.nz/
