From the first brick at Stonewall to flashy floats rolling down the main drag, Pride has always been part protest, part celebration, and part pure self-expression.

To celebrate Palm Springs Pride, which lights up the desert every November, The Old Gays reflect on the unapologetic queer energy that makes this event so iconic. They get frank about every part of this global celebration, sharing hilarious and heartfelt stories from their earliest parades, the days of secrecy and resistance, and the culture's slow march toward the Pride festivals we know and love today.

From getting royal treatment by the police, to one of our boys being carried down the parade on a stretcher (can you guess which one?), this episode is a love letter to the communal joy, queer resilience, and silver linings of Pride, here to remind us just how far we’ve come.

For the season one finale, The Old Gays are joined by their first special guest, Brandon Kyle Goodman: an actor, activist, and author, best known for their work on Netflix's "Big Mouth" and their iHeart Radio podcast, "Tell Me Something Messy." 

 

From family dynamics and queer visibility to butt plugs and the sex tip that landed Brandon in the Urban Dictionary, this episode weaves through many of our previous themes, this time through an intergenerational lens. 

 

What’s Brandon’s take on bathhouses and queer friendship? How do The Old Gays really feel about being local celebrities? And what are everyone’s practices when it comes to “self-love”? 

 

Through vulnerable truths and a lot of laughter, this episode is a heartfelt bridge between different generations, reminding us of the many reasons to connect and learn beyond the limitations of age.

Whether it's a curated bar, a crowded dance floor, a church basement, or an online chat room, LGBTQ+ spaces have long been sanctuaries for queer people. These are the places for meeting, connecting, and feeling celebrated as their true selves.

 

This week, The Old Gays take us on a nostalgic tour of the queer spaces that helped shape them: from mafia-run bars in St. Louis and San Francisco’s video lounges, to the institutions of West Hollywood and a legendary (and illegal) bathhouse in Silver Lake. Along the way, they reflect on the racism in nightlife, the evolution of Pride & protest in these spaces, the refuge of gyms & saunas, and what it means to feel free in your body, identity, and community.

 

What was Mick's notorious "dick patrol"? Which bathhouse had a circular urinal? And where in Palm Springs can you still buy greeting cards, dildos, and poppers under one roof? Uncovering these corners of queer life, this episode is a love letter to the many spaces and places that The Old Gays have called home.
