That's So Valid

We have Dylan back since Jeff cancelled! We talk about playing Pikmin till the end of the the administration/world (whatever comes first), how we’re proud of reading chapter books, if it is or is not social justice to write Yelp Reviews, how Sammy got their snort back and Dylan’s journey with a new mattress she already texted Hay but Hay didn’t text back.

This week we ask, are electrolytes real? Also: training to finger with Tech Decks, Lang gives us a Black History test, we talk about current friggin TV shows, Sammy does an anti-Swiftie rant, Hay rants about how polkadots are for babies, and we beg they make texting and driving safer for America’s children (us).

If you've heard about Jeff, you still will - because for the fourth time we booked him and he cancelled on us. Lang made us record Jeff cancelling on the phone with us from literally outside the building. Enjoy - this is the Jeffisode.

We have a lot of Kendrick songs stuck in our head and unfortunately quote Black thinkers up top. We SPOIL the last ep of The Traitors, cooking shows, Superbowl conspiracies, we read a disgusting Feeld profile of a straight couple, and we try to end slow salads and small discounts.

We don’t know what happened this episode (it’s giving gas leak) but we are not okay. It’s our first recording since Tronk and Alan Musk started their thing and we try to do segments and structured activities, and then resisted we believe as a form of coping. We fall on the floor laughing a lot so if you don’t want that don’t listen to this. During this synchronized mental breakdown we somehow write an email to spam ICE, Sammy makes a doge meme for Elon, cover trying to download a rejection sensitivity app, protein maxing, and ordering to-go food.

WELCOME TO RYAN'S WORLD.Our first listener Ryan (Math guy, musician, friend collector) is on the pod this week. We talk about being ally to the straights, everybody can do Math, bisexuals are real, peeing in the shower, . Ryan's goal for 2025 is to not make new friends and he is failing at it. Do NOT DM him on IG unless you want math tutoring: https://www.instagram.com/citrusappreciator/That's so Ryan coming this Fall 2025 on the That's so Podcast network.

It’s our first recording post LA-fires and we are here to say don’t donate your dirty underwear just so you don’t have to do your laundry! We also discuss ghosts, aliens again (but just a little), how the pope is queer baiting, the word “partner” and what gender we hope Trump picks for us.

Lindsay Adams (standup, starred in [play name] when she was 5) and we talk about worst words for vagina, our favorite vaccines, how Monk was kinda c*nty, judges helping you pick a nonbinary name, why biches with eating disorders make the best bakers, (somehow) early childhood development, people announcing social media breaks, the meaning of karaoke and horni male baker influencers.

Please send us products to review. Should Lang get the Elote dog? This is a big conspiracy theory one: We talk UFOLOGY, Witchtok, Swifties, Blue-Anon. Conspiracies kinda help us cope with “Earth” you know?

We had technological problems this week (can you believe?) so we’re doing a shorter Zoom episode. We talk tattoos, smoothies, christmas wishes, how all our friends worked on Based on True Story - Peacock Original, and New Years Resolutions. We love you 😘Follow the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalidFind Sammy: https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay: https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

We are so back with a classic chaotic just the boys ep fr fr - Hay and Sammy go to too many freaking holiday parties, we review the AI review of the pod, Luigi Mangione is bisexual, why we don’t wanna live in a commune, a bisexual visibility page stole one of Sammy’s videos (we see you!) and and we talk a lot about doing yoga on rooftop in a police state.

Our guest is the man who introduced us to Lang, Jordan Thewlis brings straight culture to the pod to answer for the entire election. Jordan and Hay talk about the endless shows they ran together in the Bay, Sammy teaches us how to fuck like sisters, we play Mike Tyson interviews, Hay is deadnamed (full name Hatred Beacon), cult documentaries, and Jordan’s #1 gay enemy, Tyler Henry the Hollywood Medium.Follow Jordan: https://www.instagram.com/jordan.thewlis/Follow the Pod:https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy:https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay:https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

This week on the pod we have Allison Reese (Bros, The N'Kay Hour Podcast, The UNDENIABLE Kamala Harris impression) join us on the pod to talk about basically everything. From how people in public are treating her post-election, Harry Potter, the politics of having taken improv in LA and then in Chicago, Gremlins.

First ep post election and the vibe is OFF. Hay forgets who they voted for, we do economic projections about tariffs on McDonald’s, crocs are ugly, how someone on Seal Team 6 has a crush on Sammy’s cousin, Hay went to the Magic Castle, and we decide everything is going to be okay cuz we kinda just don’t have a choice. Time to organize around a revolution (must be HOT to join).

Carly Ballerini (Cards Against Humanity, SF Sketchfest) joins us this week to talk about bisexuals, birds and everything baby. Straight girls, you don’t gotta eat p*ssy if you don’t want to. You can still listen to Chappell Roan. Carly got hit on in the most bizarre way at a lesbian party. Hay doesn’t wanna draft texts for their friends! We never really get to Sammy’s Target Birds. Someday we’ll remember to talk about it. We also talk about apologizing, how relationships are WORK, Hay’s new pool room, how people dress in LA, being emotional, Disney Channel Original Movies and their cultural impact.Follow Carly Ballerini: ​​https://www.instagram.com/carly_ballerini/Follow the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy:https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay:https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

Quick little disclaimer: The audio quality not as good this episode because Sammy accidentally deleted some files. Sorry!In this Just the Boys episode we discover we both do EVERYTHING FOR SPITE! We get into it about Unidentified with Demi Lovato, going to the Sweat Tour (Charli XCX and Troye Sivan) and what we hate about TERFS and looove about drag. Sammy talks their trauma of being groomed by a teacher. Hay started their job and they LOVE it. NEITHER of the boys can have jobs that they don’t believe in because they have blue hair and pronouns. We also do the Alix and Lang appreciation corner. Go to hell but be kind either way.Follow the Pod:https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy:https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay:https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

We have Dylan Mckeever (TV writer, standup, best friend) try to control us and slow down our speech on the pod. She makes us do segments that were our idea but we never did cuz we get distracted by yelling. Discourse this week includes: who is Moo Deng, Hay went to NYC, trying figure out what a “tiding” is or why a jock strap has no butt in the back.Follow Dylan: https://www.instagram.com/deemakes/Follow the Pod:https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy:https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay:https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

Just the Boys discuss orchestrating dyke drama, Hay’s high school ex (they never kissed) texting them fresh out of jail, spitting in each other’s hands, how Burning Man was stolen from New Mexico, and being grateful. Do you guys know when we say “buzz” it’s when we touch each other like on Trixie & Katya? Join our patreon to join the Sammy Fun Run.

Look, y'all may not know this (but it’s pretty obvious) we run a podcast in a free space which is why you hear a malfunctioning mic and may experience some interruptions in the chaotic flow. It’s actually kind of cool if you think about it, like it’s some BTS for you. Anyway Brian Bahe is a gay indigenous hoe and very funny standup (Comedy Central) and TV writer (The Great North, Ghosts). The discourse is lying about job experience, Hay purchasing illegal Celsius, Brian’s favorite store in LA, discovering how Broke Back Mountain ends, “multisexuality,” and if queerbaiting is real.Find Brian Bahe: https://www.instagram.com/brian_bahe?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==IGPodcastSage based Wisdom: https://tr.ee/nVuGW0duTtFollow the Pod:https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy:https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay:https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

Your two fave cis men talk about how to read poetry, how Hay threw a wheelchair user in a pool per his request, and Small Talk might actually be Big Talk, how we thought we’d have a YouTube up by now, how we’ll do K for Patreon, how we keep leaning too far back on our background fabric and almost tearing it down.Follow the Pod:https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy:https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay:https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

Let’s be honest, we had Camirin Farmer (God Vessel, Netflix) on the pod this week so we talked a lot about space and time and the STARS. The amount of times Sammy and Hay got the chills, it’s a lot! We also talk about Cam’s start in comedy in Baltimore, Charli XCX, top surgery. We’re just such fans of Cam’s and if you don’t know them you will be too after this episode.Buy a chart reading from them and support their GoFundMe for their Gender Affirming Care and Recovery costs: https://gofund.me/66b1c0c3We also had a few technical difficulties this episode.

Hay is writing this description to say they were kinda sick that day - so if this one has less screaming energy, you understand. However what we DO have this week is Sammy’s birthday in the Chicago rain, a 2-years late review of the movie Bros, the cultural value of talking shit, Sammy forgetting a guy they fuct, and somehow even more details on Lake Dick. We FINALLY get into the The Great Civil War of the Podcast (Taylor Alison Swift).Follow the Pod:https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy:https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay:https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

We’re joined this week by drag queen, comedian and accidental muralist Nic Scheppard (@verygayclown, @trudy.tective, @verygaypaint). We talk about the differences between the two genders (drag and comedy and clown), LGBTQAnon, Hay meeting a woman who got bit by a bat on 4th of July, how smoking cigarettes is about taking a break, and demand that you dance as well as you can with your dad. HIRE VERY GAY PAINT TO MURAL YOUR HOME. YOU CAN PROBABLY AFFORD IT.

This episode is a classic “Just the Boys” joint and this week they’re on Mountain time, baby! Sammy went back home to Albuquerque and had an encounter with a very cranky wheelchair user. Hay gets absolutely bamboozled by the internal terminals of LAX and misses their flight to Denver. They even talk about the ART of stand up comedy. Is this the episode where the boys get canceled for being ableist to dogs? Let’s find out.Follow the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy: https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay: https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

Part 2 cuz we don’t know how to have a guest and not talk for an hour and forty minutes yet. Ur gonna love our (now untimely) Kamala VP picks, Bailey’s literal angel work with Man Camp, hearing about Hay cast an nonbinary influence on a very lesbian production, and how angry men get at Bailey on the internet.Find Bailey Here:https://www.instagram.com/baileyenorton/https://twitter.com/baileyenortonhttps://www.tiktok.com/@baileyenortonFollow the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy: https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay: https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

The boys are joined by their first guest, esteemed best friend of the pod Bailey Norton. And thank god for that. Sammy goes to Arizona, Hay is still an Orphan, Bailey is ghosting her therapist. The discourse includes: John Mayer doing standup, the first perverts to ever book us, the genders of malls, Lex dot com, and the meaning of being Average.Find Bailey Here:https://www.instagram.com/baileyenorton/https://twitter.com/baileyenortonhttps://www.tiktok.com/@baileyenortonFollow the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy: https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay: https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

Sammy really has a song in their heart this ep. Between songs that Hay keeps thinking are real, the discourse includes straight guys who can’t get enough they/them pussy, coping with stalkers, COVID testing before fucking, how Kathy Griffin’s My Life on the D-List shaped us, and some serious moments about EMDR and CBT for you to not laugh but maybe LEARN for once.Follow the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy: https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay: https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

Not gonna lie, this was a weird one - we kept talking about people we know and had to cut a lot out. Also the mic kept going out and we had to change it. Can we promise flow on this ep? No. But can we promise the thing about queer people is we will fight tooth and nail for our rights and respect - but behind closed doors in community, we bond by talking deep and specific shit about each other. Yes. This week’s discourse includes: Joseph Robinette “they/them” Biden, queer hummus, male yearning, words for mental illness we hate, and fuck/marry/kill emojis. We don’t really defend Drake, that was a bit.Follow the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy: https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay: https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/

Hay and Sammy have finally sat down to do what they’ve said they would for so long (2-3 months honestly, not bad) and record the damn pod. Have you ever wanted to listen to two whitey nonbineys (white nonbinaries) talk shit about their own community? okay well sorry because that’s what we do. hay also accidentally says Biden bombed the wrong country but that’s what propaganda will do. we do discourse on discourse regarding: straight boyfriends at Pride, hot Kamala summer, lesbian deodorant, deadnaming as a bit, and Ira Glass’s ears.Follow the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/thatssovalid/Find Sammy: https://www.instagram.com/sammymowreyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sammymowreyFind Hay: https://www.instagram.com/haybeacon/
