Occasionally Funny

Josh and Sam have their first "mass debate" this week over accepting our ages, comparing ourselves to others, feeling like failures and how gay men over a certain age often feel invisible. The chat takes an unexpected turn as Josh opens up about his own age gap relationship...  Part 2 will be posted tomorrow.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sammy starts this week’s ep where the last one ended: finally sharing the story of what he accidentally posted to TikTok and quickly had to delete. Josh then introduces new segment, The Wheel of Misfortune, and shares the story of the tabloid scandal that got his school teacher fired and then the night he saved a man’s life.

A changing room dilemma that Josh faced divided him and Sam and led to a surprising discussion on body dysmorphia in the gay community, gym insecurities everybody faces and overcoming that first, scary hurdle to get into fitness. But… would you push the big red button? Check out Sam’s gym Studio 360 for information on classes: https://www.instagram.com/studio360sports/ Show us some love on the @OccasionallyFunnyPod Instagram.  You can watch clips from the podcast on the Occasionally Funny YouTube Channel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Joshua Fox and Sam Stanton as they recap their wild night in Sydney (with audio and video evidence) searching for a new husband on Oxford Street before then, um, drunkenly chasing The Wiggles at the Australian Audio Awards and attempting to start a war.  You can watch this bonus episode in full on the Occasionally Funny YouTube Channel as an on location special. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I set Sam a challenge for this week's bonus episode to phone his parents up and confess to lying to them for 21 years about ordering Brokeback Mountain on the family DVD account! However, the call quickly took an unexpected turn and became quite emotional...  Show us some love on the @OccasionallyFunnyPod Instagram.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After officially announcing Sam Stanton as my co-host of the Occasionally Funny podcast last week, I thought for our first proper episode we'd take things all the way back to when we first figured out we were both gay, how we eventually came out and what lessons we've learned along the way.  We hope anyone still struggling with their sexuality or parents unsure how to bring certain topics up with their kids will take something from this episode.  Show us some love on the @OccasionallyFunnyPod Instagram.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The search is finally over and in this episode I finally make my Occasionally Funny co-host choice and phone both Sam and my mum up to share the exciting news!  Show us some love on the @OccasionallyFunnyPod Instagram.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Sam and my mum's co-host auditions complete, this weekend I decided to catch up with them both one last time to see if this helped me make my final decision. Plus, I dig out audio of the first time I ever cried on the internet, reminisce about a homeless man I befriended and tried to bring home as a teenager and welcome a wild card into the studio. Well, I wouldn't say welcome, more they arrived at my door for an unplanned audition.  PS: If you enjoyed my friend Louisa's questionable jokes, find more on her Instagram here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
