And I've just jotted some quick notes down in the notes on my iPhone. I spent a month making this set and you've arrived. And like I said, we're going to set the bar nice and low and we're going to build from there. So whatever you get from me today, just expect leaps and bounds from here. Great. Quick feedback. Yeah.
as the intro usually i try to like a bit more welcome to like a bit more excitement you know what i mean all right welcome to occasionally funny the podcast you're here with josh and sam yeah now right now i'll play i've got a jingle for you he's the gentle giant called sam his tv marriage didn't go to plan And now he's here trying to be occasionally funny. Oh, that's it? Yeah.
That was really good. Yeah. Then usually you talk out of it like, and today we're going to be.
Should we go again? No, it's all right. It was quite long. I didn't do much research on like podcasts because I feel like this runs a little bit different to most podcasts I've listened to. Yes. It's unique. I have to say that I was pretty scared though when you sent me the PDF for today.
Well, it was just a bit of a rundown, some notes of how to... No, just the title of the PDF.
What was it? O-F-P-D-F. Oh, OnlyFans. Did you choose the initials? No, because... I thought I was signing up for St. Giles again. Firstly, I didn't apply for this job. And then secondly, I thought I was not applying for OnlyFans. And this is the casting couch. And this is the casting couch. So we're going to keep things really G-rated today.
I just wanted to set that expectation up nice and early.
Before we get to your audition, last week I did stand-up. You want to talk about that? Well, I was giving you and my mum a week to both do your auditions. Yeah, so I said to you guys, when you come on, just come on and make me laugh, tell jokes or whatever. What I've realised is being funny and telling jokes, trying to be funny, very different things. Yeah.

Chapter 2: How did Sam's audition for the podcast unfold?
Well, you're not on MySpace. Do you know the one that I have a problem with? The every gay man either does ketamine or starts a podcast. I feel like podcasts are notoriously straight men. What are you doing right now, today? As a gay man? Yeah, I'm the exception to the rule, as are you. Okay. Well, we're a queer leading podcast, which is not common. You don't have the job yet.
I'm going to speak. I've always been told to manifest things, you know, like you do. So we're going to talk like I already have the gig today. And how would you like this episode to go? Well, I thought I would start off, we could both share some stories about, you know, ourselves and maybe some disasters that we've had in the dating world.
I feel like people would like to hear about the chaos in our life. Before we get into that, actually, I wanted to start by saying I feel like the best time in an audition or an interview when you're getting asked a lot of questions is to throw some questions back at the business and say to them things like, and I'm going to shoot the question now, why should I choose this podcast?
Oh, fuck. I'm not prepared for this. Oh, yeah. Because I think you haven't come off a show. I can guide you quite well. A lot of people out there would want to take advantage, like maybe do a cash grab and like I spoke to Beck about this. Yeah. Whereas I have only good intentions. I, in the nicest way, don't need a co-host. I've chosen one because I would like to have a laugh with someone.
So you have chosen one. Well, I've chosen you and my mum who I have chemistry with. Choosing, yes. But like the podcast I've grown as a solo entity.
You've done very well. Yeah. In a moment of seriousness, you've done very, very well. Thank you, Sam. I'm very, very proud of you. I've listened to you for a long time. Big fan.
Big fan. No, but I'd like to grow that. And then I've always, I told you on the way here, I wanted to start a podcast with like a gay person like a year ago, but I didn't find someone I connected with. Yeah.
platonically yes yes yes we're talking business we're talking business it's all business we've taken this out of your home yes i feel much more comfortable in real okay you're already going right yeah it's gonna happen it's gonna happen a few times actually wait um just for when you're blushing oh yeah so we could actually see a chart perfect
So right now you're sitting... I didn't even know that I blushed until I went on maths and then now it's very obvious.

Chapter 3: What dating disaster did Sam experience at the age of 29?
To all the boys I've made a fool of myself in front of before. Do you like it?
Yeah, would it not be, to all the boys I've made a fool of myself. Oh no, that's the same thing, isn't it?
You're about to say the exact same sentence. Yeah, yours just sounded like you were unsure. Yeah, I was. I was trying to say it. Do I have to say it one more time? To all the boys I've made a fool of him. It's really hard to say fast. To all the boys I've made a fool of myself in front of before.
Yeah.
Nice. We'll use that one. Go. So this was a few years ago. Someone that I was seeing, and this is a story of like really not acting my age.
But side point, I feel like gay men, we only start dating people we have genuine feelings for generally when we're like 20, sometimes, sometimes earlier, but like it's much later in life than people who go when they're 12, 13, you know, dating in school and they start to feel real feelings.
Well, also just for straight listeners that that's also because we can't have relationships a lot of the time. Well, that's why. Because we're still figuring out who we are and then is it safe to come out and all that. So it's like our love life is a few years after everyone else's.
So sometimes we tend to act like teenage girls much later in life. So I just wanted to clear that before I tell this story. So I was 29 when this happened and I was seeing a guy who was pretty new and we'd gone out one weekend and
partied and whatever and then gone back to his house and he lived with his parents still and I when we got there he was like oh I don't want to wake my dad up so let's climb through the window to get into the
