We’re Daniel and Max, the Bitches With Beards and we love discussing all things gay, gay adjacent, and just a little bit camp.

    Bitches With Beards Episode 150: Is It Over Yet?

    The Bitches are celebrating the Holiday season, and Christmastime, with news so big they needed to bring in the Hubs in for moral support. But if all three of us are in the studio then just who or what is Dwayne looking for? Daniel wraps up his year, just not his presents with a week that reminds him that he f**king deserves this. Max, after ten years of marriage, finally finds balance with the Hubs’ social calendar and his own desire to do nothing but watch Holiday movies. Then the Besties are visited by three spirits; the Ghost of Christmas Past to discuss the legacy of Rob Reiner, Christmas Present to laugh at the latest DC Nightlight S**t-Show, and Yet-To-Come, to look forward to our plans for 2026.

    Bitches With Beards Episode 149: Now Owned By Netflix

    The Bitches are trying their hardest to feel festive but adulting is making it hard… Why did no one tell them that the holidays were more about children? Who knew? Daniel returns from a successful trip to Texas, freshly charmed by southern manners. And look, mom, no politics! Max’ 2025 continues to be a chaos demon until the bitter end but after a couple of Holiday parties surrounded by money, maybe it’s time to get ambitious. Then the Besties take a moment to discuss the recent news regarding Netflix and Warner Brothers, which, wait for it, is a genuine cultural moment. What does this mean for the future of cinema? Will cinemas still exist? Is Max about to lose his only social activity? Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 148: Holes in the Brain Question Mark

    The Bitches were meant to be here to discuss their first steps into the Holiday season, but yet again, the Kardashian's are here to steal the conversation. It’s shameless really. What are holes in the brain, is there such a thing as over sharing, and are we doing it now? Daniel is preparing to take some leave to travel for a personal project, so naturally everyone is trying to make him feel like a terrible person. However, the Joke’s on you, he knows that already. Max is superstressed out by his December workload. No, not the paid stuff, he’s talking about balancing the Oscar movies with the holiday ones. So many films, so few hours in a week. Then the Besties take a moment to discuss how we end a year that feels like it’s only just beginning, what have they been doing to get into the festive spirit, and just why hasn’t the hubs finished decorating the house?

    Bitches With Beards Episode 147: Being Gaslit By Peppermint Patty

    The Bitches are thankful you’re back again, ready to hear our take down of the week's culture, whether it’s been deliciously wicked, or maybe for good. Daniel has experienced the worst Turkey Dinner of all time. No, not from our wonderful hosts but from Jeff Bezos, aka Mr Wholefoods. Max is ready to give up on DC as its only non-alcoholic bar applies for a liquor license. Are we shocked that a group of gays didn’t stick to their word. Then the Besties discuss Wicked: For Good and question if it's possible for an excellent movie to still not hit all the right notes. And could its place at the top on the DEI pile be taken by the Macy’s Parade? Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 146: Please daddy, I’m feeling artistic!

    The Bitches are coming to your ears on Thanksgiving Eve, but they’re recording on Wicked For Good Eve, let’s hope they’re only going to be experiencing one tour. Daniel wonders how brainless you have to be to organize a meeting on a Friday. Perhaps a trip to the Emerald City is needed, though maybe leave the kids at home. Max is pretty ready for the Holidays to begin, cards are designed and the British treats are here, but what next? Oh year, fun! Then the Besties discuss their excitement for Wicked, and question reviews that seem to miss the point. It’ll be wands at dawn. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 145: Calling Messica Fletcher to the Hot Mess Express!

    The Bitches are a f**king mess this week, in case you didn’t work that out from the intro. Have they lost their touch? But the Hubs is here to save the day and somehow they manage to pull together an episode about a week they don’t really want to talk about. Daniel is back in the office, an event so stressful that after one day he had to take himself to lunch for oysters and a cocktail. Tsk. Tsk. The resolve is slipping. Max is slutting it up on the job front as this most respectable of career girl finds herself caught between two organizations (don’t worry, they know about each other, and they’re cool). Then the Besties, and the Hubs sit down and madly scramble for culture that isn’t celebrities going to the darkside. Thank Oz we have brave Cynthia to protect us, wise Michelle to guide us, and, of course, Ariana, to provide a little heart and A LOT of gossip. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 143: Who The F**K Is Madeline!

    The Bitches are sipping some Hot Cider supplied to them by the Hubs and enjoying the height of Spooky Season. Our witchy ladies are powered up, so be afraid, be very afraid. Daniel is still wandering about DC like he’s in a reflective montage at the end of a Nancy Meyers movie. And just like Diane Keaton he finds himself in a Korean spa- thankfully with no jack Nicholson. Max is not so relaxed, but then again, when is he? It’s probably something to do with being a non-drinker made to sit in one of DC’s many terrible bars. What's a gal got to do to get some service here? Certainly not the bar tender. Then the Besties discuss the culture moment they never saw coming and likely nor did you, Lily Allen’s new album West End Girl. We eagerly sip on the piping hot tea and discuss what this means for pop music as female artists stop pulling the punches. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 142: Be Gay, Do Crimes… Everyone Else Is!

    The Bitches are about to bunker down for the weekend as Fall weather brings cooler temps and the sudden urge to snuggle. Plus with Howard University celebrating their homecoming it’s the perfect excuse to sit down and talk shit about culture. Daniel continues to work the shutdown to his advantage, and by advantage he means tormenting his parents with fear he’s converting religions. Max returns from a weekend Philly for a weekend of soccer and babies that would have left his younger self very confused. Are the suburbs calling or are DC gays just that exhausting. Then the Besties ask the question, if four men can break into the Louvre, then why can’t we find one to text them back? Daniel falls back on old habits and educates Max and our lovely audience on all the shenanigans occurring at the Louvre. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 141: Celebrating Dame Diane Keaton!

    The Bitches find themselves in a moment of transition, the cooler weather is rapidly coming and sweaters are needed. Quick!?! Where is the pashmina? The cable knit? The ribbed turtle neck? Do we need Kurt Russel to come in and sort out our closets? Daniel claims he’s doing well with everything going on in the world, even though he’s taken to wandering around cemeteries. If you have an opinion on this he’d love to hear about it….in Hell. Max contemplates the naughty things he wants to do with the incredibly flexible Pierre, maybe filling him with plenty of sausage..uncut..…savory…..round… girthy.. What? We’re talking about a sour dough starter and some sausage rolls, what did you think we were talking about? Perverts. Then the Besties discuss the only topic that they hoped they would never have to, the passing of their patron saint, Diane Keaton. The pair take a moment to swap their favorite movie moments, the impact her unique style has had on the cultures, and whether they need to reconsider their branding. Not a chance, so cheers Diane, and thank you!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 140: Dolly and Reba and Taylor… Oh My!

    The Bitches are putting out this podcast just to prove that they are still alive in a move that is peak 2025. We’ve even got Reba and Dolly to back up our claims! Daniel continues to navigate the Government Shut Down by making the most of the free time and working on the culture that is important to him. Sure, he's going to a lot of cemeteries but please stop reading too much into that, it’s because he can’t find a Debenhams. Max decides to explore some southern hospitality in the south as he and the family explore Richmond and soon it becomes clear where he gets his sassiness from. Then the Besties discuss exchange stories from living the life of a showgirl… wait, the album is not about them? Not even Wood? But of course they’re going to review Taylor’s new album because Miss Swift is telling tales and she is leaving no crumbs. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 139: Keeping Up Appearances?

    The Bitches come in with the shock of the century…. as they WILL NOT be discussing the new Taylor Swift album… because they recorded a day too early. So gird your lines for next week! Maybe the spoilers will have been aired by then. Daniel finds himself with a lot of time on his hands, don’t worry, he’s not done a Max. But for the moment, he has no excuse not to tidy his room. Max finally experiences the most American of traditions, a Renn Fair with some special guest stars. Though he wants to say it didn’t remind him of home it actually did bring on the feels. In fact, it left him chuffed. Turkey leg anyone? Then the Besties are joined by Max'parents to discuss what the view of the States is like from across the pond. Needless to say they’re not very impressed but they are rather curious about a certain Bad Bunny singing at the Super Bowl. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 138: Bursting The Social Bubble (For Good)

    The Bitches are back after being cancelled, just in time for a government shutdown. Yes, that’s exactly the reason we can’t be seen on network television. Daniel may be recording on a Wednesday but he’s already over the working week. The only thing sustaining him is cookies and the thought of Madonna’s new dance album. Max finally has the office of dreams, surrounded by Star Wars and ready to make his millions so he never has to use it again. Then the Besties discuss their friendship goals, aka the Witches of Oz, but what happens when the Tin Woodsman wants to join in the conversation. Should they tell him to leave before a house falls on him? Or should he be let into their social bubble? Chees!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 137: Downton Shabby!

    The Bitches jump straight in with the drama as a discussion about mental health leads to the revelation the one of them hadn’t been introduced to psycho therapy wasn’t through celebrated criminal psychologist Dr Chase Meridian. I warned you, this episode will leave no crumbs. Daniel takes a wander down memory lane as he goes for dinner with an ex and is promptly comforted by his decision to stay single. If he hadn’t dog-sat this weekend there would have been no gentlemen in his life. Max heads to Jersey City to witness the Bills annihilating the Jets and comes back with a story about crabs that will leave you begging for an STI. The Besties then decide to see how the other half does live by going into a full on discussion about the latest entry into the Downton Abbey saga, saying goodbye to the cultural behemoth and taking a moment of pure indulgence just in time for the weekend, whatever that is.

    Bitches With Beards Episode 135: Cultural Masturbation At It’s Finest!

    The Bitches are joining you from a Diane Keating Podcast Studio and Haberdashery that is half way through is Fall-transitional bloom. Will it occur in time? Blood, sweat and tears have gone into it, but that’s the only blood you’re getting. Daniel survives a shooting… of sorts. No, this is not going to turn into a PSA on gun-crime, think of it more of the Sloan Rangers Guide to being an Ethical slut. Ta darling. Max makes the brave admission that he is obsessed with the Dancing With The Stars promotional campaign, and only the campaign. This comes with absolutely zero intention of watching the trainwreck itself. Sometimes it’s about the culture and sometimes it’s about the ripples. Then the Besties create their own culture as they both take a moment to work on themselves. Daniel removes himself from the world to get some more words on the page, whilst Max becomes the page itself as he gets his first tattoo. But how does Magic Johnson fit into all of this? Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 134: But daddy… end of sentence!

    The Bitches have the cardigan flag flying at full-mast as the Miss America and the Heartbreak kid bring the United States one step closer to a monarchy. Daniel is standing on the edge of vacation and is ready for a break, including from being a responsible adult. A cultured adult he will be, but not a responsible one. Max is also over the wave of responsibility that has washed over him and even his beloved running has now become about dodging U.S. troops. Then the Besties discuss the cultural reaction to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’ iconic engagement. If you’re angry about it being news, then that’s a reaction and you’re now part of culture (SORRY NOT SORRY). They’d raise their Pumpkin Spice Lattes but it’s still a bit too early for that. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 133: DC culture is standing to attention!

    The Bitches can be bitches before a cookie, and they certainly can after, but while eating one? You’ll have to listen to find out. Daniel swallows his anger at Taylor Swift having the audacity to overshadow Meghan Markle’s big announcement about the second season of a television show where she repackages Taylor’s baked goods. Max enters the spirit of pre pre Fall by turning up to pool pirates with baked goods; his starter is bubbling, the muffins rising and the cookies are gagged and gooey. Then the Besties find their beautiful podcast invaded by the topic that they try so hard to avoid… politics. As the streets of DC get trampled by federal agents we discuss the cultural impact it will have on an already fragile city. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 132: Orange you glad to be living the life of a Showgirl?

    Lights. Camera. Sparkle. The Bitches are finally entering their Showgirl era, it’s the moment you all knew was coming. Probably not the finale to the job hunt saga that you expected, but we love to keep you on your toes. Daniel spent last weekend ghosting his bestie, it was like he was a phantom. Has he been taking Broadway’s hottest ticket, Masquerade, a little too literally? Well, obsession is the name of the game. Max enters his Top energy (no pun intended) by listening to a sports podcast and emerges inspired and motivated… to explore sour dough bread. Is it the starter he needs? And then the Besties push aside summer (sorry Dwayne, but you looked adorable on the beach) and think ahead to the release of Taylor Swift’s new album. They have plenty to say with very little information. But one thing is clear, they shall be reclaiming orange this Fall. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 131: Good Jeans? More Like Mom Jeans!

    The Bitches are works of art, they should be on display in galleries, not just wandering about them. Thank goodness the culture now is allowing them to talk crap for an hour because they have too many opinions for under three minutes. Daniel’s week has literally hit the headlines but when are the headlines going to be about him? Maybe he needs to become a writer and head to New York looking for love… oh wait, we've seen this storyline before! How does it all end? Max picks his eyes off the floor after seeing another gay drink the Koolaid. Red dye No 30 anyone? Can’t people be more original? Oh look, a remake of The Holiday! Then the Besties are forced to be actual adults and discuss discussions of actual consequence, like what the hell happened in the Marks and Spencer’s bra department? And can Sydney Sweeney’s career ever recover from a thumbs up from the Right, because Nancy Meyers would never! Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 130: Foolish Fool, This Is Just False Fall!

    The Bitches are reaching for their cardigans as summer takes a pause and we are plunged into a False Fall, otherwise known as Taylor Swift season. Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the farmers market. Daniel has returned surprisingly refreshed from his trip to Florida, full of tips and tricks about dealing with slightly difficult family members. And no, it doesn’t include feeding them to alligators. Max is now the wife of a famous rock star and enjoys turning five star restaurants into all you can eat buffets. Just don’t ask his opinion, he is a Trad-Wife afterall. The Besties discuss the Hollywood couples that are making us believe in a thing called love, and no, we’re not talking about the nightmare that is Together. We’re talking about the couple we never saw coming and totally shipping Pammy-A and Liam Neeson. Do we discuss the size of his Naked Gun? Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 128: Coldplay Cheating CEO CissCam Culture… Realness!

    Is it a bitch? Is it a plane? No, it’s Chris F**king Martin! Faster than a speeding bullet, culture cultured so quickly it was a fricking Go-gurt. Daniel sees the return of a pussy named Karma and chooses to fight the oligarchy by turning a blind eye. If they need help then they have Chat GPT. Max finally gets his taste of summer as he leaves the cinema and actually has a real experience… even if the coconuts are fake. Then the Besties pick themselves off the floor as they get their heads around Coldplay being back in the culture. The internet is a cruel mistress and has not turned a blind eye to the shenanigans of a certain CEO and quite frankly we’re here for it. And it’s Gwynnie P adjacent! Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 127: Kindness is the New Punk and Karma is a Cat!

    The Bitches are giddy with joy as they find themselves in the middle of a culture war, there are heroes on both sides… only joking, we’re the good guys, nuff sed! But seriously, when is too soon to start mocking the fallen? Daniel comes to the reincarnation of Princess Margaret, at least that would explain his luck with men. Does this angel have to meet every devil in DC? Max plays it safe and spends the week in the cinema, enjoying the company of redeemed robots, dancing accountants and aliens protecting the American dream. Hey buddy, eyes up here, on the silver screen. Then the Besties discuss the new reiteration of Superman that has hit theaters and explore why people are only just realizing that a character almost a century old has the values that we should be aspiring to. As the planet enters its Supervillain era will their henchmen finally realize they have the power to send them packing? question whether or not 2025 craziness was written in the stars and, as we hit the halfway point of the year, are we able to start getting things back to close to normal… ish?

    Bitches With Beards Episode 126: Pretty Lights Go Boom!

    The Bitches are coming to you live from July 4th and it may surprise you that they are feeling a bit MEH about the whole thing. Hopefully a good old catchup will do them some good, it’s just a damn pity everything is so quiet… until DC turns into a warzone. Daniel is bracing himself for a trip to visit his mother and his bestie is here for him… to take plenty of notes because this is going to be delicious content. Max is slowly feeling himself come back to life on a professional level but that doesn’t mean he can’t still be the perfect host, graciously asking his guests to GTFO! Then the Besties question whether or not 2025 craziness was written in the stars and, as we hit the halfway point of the year, are we able to start getting things back to close to normal… ish?

    Bitches With Beards Episode 125: Can we grab a selfie?

    The Bitches are back in your ears so finish your conversations and silence your phones… unless you're telling people about the podcast and listening to us on your phones. Mothers, hide your daughters, Daniel is hot, sweaty and when it comes to removing clothes the limit does not exist. Luckily he found his dignity when it came to handling Lady Bird Johnson’s personal… correspondence. Max may be celebrating ten years since getting engaged but that doesn’t stop him getting ghosted by professional contacts. Oda Mae, we need you girl for these job applications. Then the Besties question why it is that manners and common sense don’t seem to travel well. They promise to be perfect guests… if their budgets ever stretch beyond a DC pool party. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 124: Just Who Is Lucky Pierre!

    You join the Bitches squatting amidst a trifecta of events; one of them is very much about them and another is there for their support only. A third can take several seats in another establishment, thank you very much, unless you want to join for gay guys having a vegetarian BBQ. Daniels dreams of moving to England and running MI-6 are scuppered by the announcement of the new boss. What will he do with all these Judi Dench pashminas? Max finds himself conflicted of Jamie Lloyd’s decision to stage Evita’s iconic balcony scene to the masses. How far can you take art before you’ve completely forgotten your audience? Then the Besties sit down to discuss the importance of having a friend, especially if you’re Jenna Bush Hager. Is the daughter of THAT president seriously going viral as her breakfast show embraces diverse and minority culture? Cheers?

    Bitches With Beards Episode 123: Hail To The Queens!

    The Bitches are sitting here, in Washington DC, not sure what the hell is going on around them. Can they just request that it ends at a decent hour because their beds are calling. Daniel channels his inner Bernadette Peters and discusses the queer culture that shone out from this years Tony Awards. Confused by gays on Broadway? Clearly you had to have been there. Max cleansed himself from the hedonism of Pride by surrounding himself with women of a certain age… God bless you Sarah Millican, but are you a late bloomer or eager beaver? Then the Besties discuss if this truly is a Mon Mothma summer as we live out Star Wars the Interactive Experience. What film was it where Ina Garten-Kenobi makes a glass of wine magically appear and enjoys it surrounded by plenty of… space! Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 122: Has #WorldPride changed us for the better?

    The Bitches are joining you from a slightly dishevelled Diane Keaton Podcast Studio and Haberdashery after a rather fabulous Pride Party. Is that noise of the Hubs cleaning in the background, or are they scraping the bottom of the barrel for the news this week? Daniel emerges from a week filled with battlefields, patriotism and diamond tiaras. He’d loved to talk to us about it, just maybe not at the urinal. Max is entering the world of interviewing but struggling with the difficult questions like, “what did you think of Andor?” He may be a nice cool glass of sparkling Dairy Milk to calm down. Then the Bitiches discuss World Pride in Washington DC and celebrate a weekend of Queer Joy! Talking of Queer Joy, have you seen the Wicked For Good trailers yet? Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 121: Party or Protest? Why Not Both?

    The Bitches are welcoming you to #PrideMonth and #WorldPride, which is a joke because apparently we can’t even introduce you to the podcast. Please forgive us for this s**t-show (not that forgiveness is hard in America). Daniel returns victoriously sober from a birthday with alcohol but is forced to give the spotlight back to Taylor Swift. She owns us Daniel, she owns EVERYTHING! Max returns from a weekend with the in-laws, surviving his first wedding sober but plenty of tea was served. At least he can say, hand on heart, THAT HE IS NOT THE FATHER! Then the Bitches are forced to begin this most holiest of months by turning on one of our greatest icons, Miss Patti LuPone as she goes after the new Supreme, Audra McDonald. It’s going to be a long June ladies! Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 120: World Pride Body Ready Question Mark

    The Bitches are here and serving you c**t from the start. Don’t judge (that’s our job), we’re in the perfect storm of family and weddings and birthdays, oh my! Give us lions and tigers and bears any day. Woof! Daniel is prepping for a birthday weekend of selfcare, wellbeing and just a little bit of indulgence. It’s getting him World Pride Body Ready, but just what exactly is he ready for? Max is bereft as he finds himself in a world without Andor, can Disney hurry up and release MORE content please? At least let us know who the new X-Men are. Then the Besties discuss alcohol, not so much giving it up but how do you let it back into your life but under new terms? And for those going down this Yellow Brick Road… we’re here for you. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 119: Dearest Gentle Reader… Please Hold!

    The Bitches find you as a couple of meteorological messes, with one of them a sweaty mess from some high temperature runs, and the other a soaking mess from a summer storm. Well, at least we’re damp. Daniel questions what artist’s do with their lyrics now that Ozempic has sent their waistlines straight to their chests. Max asks the age old question, do Republicans watch Star Wars and think “are we the Empire?” I know Britain does when it watches the Eurovision Song Contest. Then the Besties contemplate the state of culture when we celebrate films like Wicked, based on a stage show… with a live show. We wish they put that energy into releasing Bridgerton. Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 118: Rebellions are built on Popes!

    The Bitches are here in HVAC hell and are trying to record around the repair men, ready for the unit to come through the ceiling. At least it’s better than the cops busting down the doors. Daniel feels the temptation of next steps but can he really stomach a red state right now? Did that job at the Vatican get filled? Max takes a break from his break from politics as tariffs come for his beloved cinema, because the American film industry is under that much threat from foreign movies. Then the Besties discuss the joy and excellence from this year's Met Gala; how you balance clean lines and camp, men finally stepping up and why this red carpet is not the place for “who wore it better?” Cheers!

    Bitches With Beards Episode 117: BREAKING NEWS - Gwynnie-P is eating bread again!

    The Bitches are here, one of them is a year old, neither of them are any wiser. But at least neither of them are stupid enough to be gay and commit crimes… in full view of the American public (though we’d love the attention). Daniel gets pulled into an interrogation about his one true love. No, not Jo Jo Siwa, we’re talking oysters. Don't worry, he’s still too young to put a ring on it. Max is feeling loved and blessed after his 40th birthday, which he also spent with his one true love… Star Wars! Did he need the hair of the Wookie treatment the morning afterwards? Has Mon Mothma become his new queen and style icon? Then the Besties, inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow’s return to carbohydrates, discuss giving into indulgence to spark joy. But how do you do it without sparking an anxiety attack? It's a modified #Treatyourself. Cheers.

    Bitches With Beards Episode 116: You Lift Bro?

    The Bitches haven’t risen, because they never went away in the first place. Duh!?! It doesn’t make it any less a momentous episode as they finally answer the question on everyone’s lips… does Max like American Sherbet? Tune in to find out. Daniel has taken some serious steps in his healthcare journey and stepped out for a picnic lunch with the most eligible bachelor in Washington DC… himself. Max is in the middle of preparing for his 40th birthday, it’s just a pity that his body is preparing to give up on him. But not today Satan, we have an Easter dinner to serve! Then the Besties tear into the DC dating scene and question whether a forty year old should be proud they want to learn how to cook more than chicken and rice. What, they don’t teach you that at Crossfit? Cheers.
