In this special Editor’s Note episode, UNB Tim opens up about what’s been happening behind the scenes with the podcast, the blog, and life in general. From a major website hosting disaster to balancing two jobs, school, and mental health, this episode is a candid and honest look at the challenges of running an independent podcast and community.

Tim talks about why some episodes have been delayed, what’s coming next for the podcast, and how listeners can help support the show moving forward.

⸻

Topics Covered

Website Hosting Disaster

Tim shares the story of trying to move the UNB site to a new hosting provider — and how things went very wrong.

• Attempted migration to a new hosting service

• Account login issues caused by “Sign in with Apple” hiding the email

• Paying for a professional migration service

• Website suddenly going down with a 403 error

• Logging into the server to discover all site files missing

• Hours spent troubleshooting and dealing with support

• Ultimately restoring the site from a backup

Lesson learned: Always have backups of your website.  

⸻

Why Podcast Episodes Have Been Delayed

Tim explains why the usual podcast schedule has been disrupted.

Current responsibilities include:

• Working two jobs

• Attending school

• Studying for cybersecurity midterms

• Managing the blog and podcast

• Handling technical issues

Because of this, episodes may not always come out on the usual schedule.

However:

• Recorded episodes will still be released

• The podcast is not going anywhere

⸻

Mental Health & Burnout

The hosting issue was the moment that pushed everything over the edge after months of stress.

Tim discusses:

• Financial pressure

• Exhaustion from balancing work, school, and content creation

• Feeling overwhelmed and burned out

He also talks about beginning the process of getting official testing for learning differences, including:

• ADHD

• Dyslexia

• Dysgraphia

Growing up, Tim often felt something was different about how he processed information but struggled to get help. Now he’s finally taking steps to better understand how his brain works and develop better coping strategies.  

⸻

Studying With Dyslexia & Acronyms

Tim shares one of the biggest challenges in his cybersecurity program: acronyms.

Cybersecurity fields are filled with acronyms, which can be especially difficult for people with dyslexia.

To help study and understand the material, Tim often:

• Uses tools like ChatGPT to break down concepts

• Studies late at night after work

• Builds structured notes and binders to keep things organized

⸻

The Cost of Running the Podcast

Running the podcast costs about $175 per month, including:

• Podcast hosting

• Riverside recording software

• Canva

• Audio processing tools

• Other production services

Currently:

• Patreon brings in about $130 per month

• That leaves roughly $40 short each month

The goal is to grow Patreon support so the podcast can continue and expand.

⸻

Patreon Updates

Patreon will now include a free membership tier that acts as a newsletter.

Plans include:

• Weekly or bi-weekly updates

• Podcast announcements

• Behind-the-scenes content

• Community updates

Support tiers help cover podcast costs and allow Tim to invest more into improving the show.

⸻

Merch Ideas Wanted

Tim is also exploring new merch options and wants listener feedback.

Current merch includes:

• Podcast logo shirts

• Coffee mugs

• Mousepads

• Hats (including the popular Thong Slut hats)

Possible future ideas include:

• Minimal logo merch

• Bold statement pieces

• New hats

• Community-driven designs

Listeners are encouraged to share ideas.

⸻

Upcoming Content

Several things are coming soon:

• Bikini Club – a fun new concept launching on the blog

• A State of the Industry podcast

• Results from the last two reader surveys

• A completely redesigned community-focused reader survey

Future surveys will focus more on:

• Podcast listeners

• Community engagement

• Connecting directly with readers and listeners

⸻

Community Focus

One of Tim’s main goals this year is to connect more directly with listeners.

Ideas include:

• Voice calls with listeners

• Direct conversations with the community

• Listener-driven content

• Expanding the UNB community

If you listen regularly but haven’t connected before — reach out.

⸻

A Message to Listeners

Despite everything going on, Tim emphasizes how much he loves doing the podcast and connecting with the community.

“It brings me so much pleasure doing the podcast and talking to so many people.”  

He also reminds listeners:

• You are not alone in what you love

• There are many others in the community

• Be yourself and enjoy the things that make you happy

The Thong Show: Couple Edition

On this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, I’m joined by returning guest Stevie (UndiesCub) and his partner Fred for a fun, candid conversation about relationships, underwear confidence, and of course… thongs.

If you’ve followed Stevie over the years, you already know he’s one of the biggest advocates for confidence, body positivity, and living your best thong life. Now Fred has joined the journey, and the two of them are embracing underwear freedom together.

We talk about everything from rediscovering thongs as a couple, traveling to Puerto Vallarta for Beef Dip, underwear shopping adventures, and how the right pair of underwear can completely change how you feel.

This episode is part relationship conversation, part underwear talk, and a lot of laughs along the way.

⸻

What We Talk About

Rediscovering Thongs

Fred shares how he used to wear thongs years ago but stopped because previous partners weren’t into them. After trying some of Stevie’s pairs again, he realized something:

“I looked in the mirror and thought… that’s sexy. I like the way my butt looks.”

And just like that, the thong revival began.

⸻

How Stevie & Fred Met

The two met during Bear Week in Provincetown, where Stevie was confidently rocking a thong swimsuit at the Boatslip pool.

Fred had already noticed him earlier walking down Commercial Street and thought:

“He’s hot… I want to talk to him.”

A pool conversation later—and the rest is history.

⸻

Puerto Vallarta & Beef Dip

The couple recently returned from Beef Dip in Puerto Vallarta, which has become a thong-friendly destination for a lot of guys.

Stevie talked about how years ago he was often one of the only guys wearing a thong at events like this.

Now?

It’s almost half the crowd.

Confidence spreads.

⸻

Shopping for Underwear Together

One of the fun parts of the episode is hearing about their underwear shopping trips, including shopping in Mexico City where Fred tried on several new pairs.

He discovered new favorites including Breedwell mesh thongs, which he says feel like wearing nothing at all.

Stevie also admits he enjoys shopping for his partner:

“I feel like I’m playing with my Ken doll over here.”

⸻

Confidence & Wearing What You Love

One of the biggest themes of the episode is something I always talk about on the podcast:

Wear what makes you feel sexy.

Fred talks about how Stevie helped him feel more comfortable wearing thongs in public at beaches and pool parties.

Because confidence is the real secret.

Body Positivity, Speedos & Content Creation with Zac Goes Places

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, UNB Tim sits down with Zac (Zac Goes Places) — a travel-loving content creator based in Orlando who mixes body positivity, swimwear confidence, and a little thirst-trap fun into his social media presence.  

What started as a personal journey toward confidence turned into a powerful message that every body deserves to feel good in what they wear — including Speedos.

Zac shares how he went from never posting a shirtless photo to becoming a content creator encouraging others to embrace their bodies and take risks in life.

This conversation covers everything from Andrew Christian being a gateway brand, to the realities of content creation, social media algorithms, and body image in the gay community.

And yes… there are plenty of Speedo stories.

⸻

In This Episode

Zac’s Background

• Orlando-based content creator focused on travel, LGBTQ life, and social media content

• Shares adventures around Florida, theme parks, cruise ships, and nightlife

• Mixes travel content with underwear and swimwear confidence

The First Pair of “Gay Underwear”

Zac talks about discovering Andrew Christian underwear as a closeted teen and how the brand served as a gateway into the world of sexy underwear for many gay men.

Because let’s be honest…

A lot of us had that moment discovering underwear that made us feel confident.

⸻

The Reality of Content Creation

Zac breaks down what many people don’t see:

• Editing photos and videos

• Constant posting to feed the algorithm

• Managing multiple social platforms

• The time and financial investment behind content

Content creation may look simple, but there’s a lot of work behind every post.

⸻

From Self-Doubt to Body Positivity

One of the most powerful parts of the episode is Zac’s body positivity journey.

After quitting a toxic corporate job and hitting a personal low point, Zac decided to take control of his health and confidence.

He set a goal to lose weight and eventually wear a Speedo publicly — something he had never done before.

When he finally posted his first Speedo photo online, the response was overwhelming.

Thousands of views and messages from people saying:

“You inspired me to post my Speedo photo too.”

That moment helped Zac realize something powerful:

Every body is a Speedo body.

⸻

Swim Briefs & Confidence

Zac and Tim talk about:

• The comfort of swim briefs

• Wearing Speedos beyond the pool

• Finding brands that balance comfort and style

• Why more men should try them

Because once you find the right pair…

You may never go back.

⸻

Living Life Without Waiting

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode:

Stop waiting.

Whether it’s wearing Speedos, traveling, creating content, or chasing your goals — life is too short to hold yourself back.

As Zac says:

“We only get one life. If it’s not hurting anyone, just do it.”

All of Zac’s links can be found through his social media bio.

⸻

Final Thoughts

This episode is a reminder that confidence isn’t about hitting some imaginary “perfect body.”

It’s about owning who you are right now.

Whether you’re rocking boxers, briefs, thongs, or Speedos…

Wear what makes you feel good.

]]> UNB Blog full false 1:01:49 Brief Talk Podcast – Editor’s Note – Community Building http://underwearnewsbriefs.com/2026/03/brief-talk-podcast-editors-note-community-building/ Tue, 10 Mar 2026 20:54:12 +0000 https://underwearnewsbriefs.com/?p=114991&preview=true&preview_id=114991

Sometimes you just have to hit record and talk honestly.

In this Editor’s Note episode, UNB Tim pulls back the curtain on what’s happening behind the scenes with Underwear News Briefs, the podcast, and the growing Free the Bulge movement.

This episode is about transparency, community, and the future of everything we’re building together.

Two major things are happening right now:

• The launch and growth of the Free the Bulge movement

• Expanding the Patreon community to support the shows and future projects

UNB Tim shares the inspiration behind the movement, the long-term vision for building real community, and how listeners can be part of it.

⸻

The Free the Bulge Movement

Free the Bulge isn’t just about underwear, swim briefs, or spandex.

It’s about confidence, acceptance, and community.

For years, UNB Tim has heard the same thing from guys in the underwear and gear communities:

• “Where can I meet other guys like me?”

• “How do I find friends who understand this side of me?”

• “Why does society shame men for enjoying what they wear?”

Free the Bulge is about changing that.

It’s about creating a space where all men are welcome — gay, straight, bi, curious — anyone who loves gear and wants to feel confident in their own skin.

Because when guys talk about underwear, gear, or swimwear, something amazing happens:

Their faces light up.

And that joy deserves a community.

The long-term goal is simple:

• Build a supportive community

• Encourage body confidence

• Normalize men enjoying what they wear

• Eventually create real-world meetups and events

This movement has been in the works for years, and now it’s finally time to make it happen.  

⸻

What’s Coming Next

The Free the Bulge movement is rolling out in phases.

Some things already underway include:

Weekly Free the Bulge Posts

Every Monday on Underwear News Briefs, UNB Tim will post:

• personal stories

• thoughts about confidence and body positivity

• updates on the movement

• future community ideas

Some posts will be personal.

Some may include guest voices.

But they’ll all come straight from the heart.

Live Podcast Discussions

Another upcoming feature is interactive live shows.

Using Riverside, listeners will be able to:

• join live recordings

• call in

• share their stories

• participate in honest conversations

Because the best discussions happen when the community is involved.

Listener Stories

One of the most exciting parts of the movement is hearing from listeners.

Through the new contact form on the site, guys can:

• share their stories

• talk about confidence

• discuss how gear became part of their identity

Some stories may appear on the blog.

Others may turn into podcast interviews.

The goal is simple:

Let real guys tell their stories.

⸻

Future Meetups & Trips

One of the long-term goals of the movement is something many listeners have been asking for:

In-person community events.

UNB Tim is exploring ideas like:

• community meetups

• gear-friendly travel trips

• group travel to places like

• San Diego

• Chicago

• Miami

• Palm Springs

• Puerto Vallarta

• even international destinations

Imagine traveling with a group of guys who share the same interests and confidence.

That’s where this movement is headed.

⸻

Supporting the Podcast Through Patreon

Running the blog and podcast takes time, resources, and tools.

UNB Tim shares exactly how Patreon support currently helps keep things running.

Monthly costs include:

• Podcast hosting

• Canva for graphics

• Riverside for recording

• website storage and infrastructure

Right now Patreon brings in about $115–$135 per month, which essentially covers the core expenses of running the show.  

But growing Patreon would allow the show to expand even more.

Future goals include:

• hiring an editor

• compensating regular co-hosts

• producing more shows each week

• recording podcasts on location at events

One piece of gear UNB Tim is looking at is a portable podcast recorder that would allow live recordings at events like Kink Down South and other gatherings.

⸻

Patreon Perks

Joining Patreon helps support the podcast and unlocks bonus content.

Patreon members may get:

• extended conversations

• behind-the-scenes discussions

• bonus segments

• experimental shows and topics

The main podcast will always remain free, but Patreon helps make additional content possible.

There’s also a free Patreon membership option, which will act as a newsletter for updates about:

• Free the Bulge

• new podcast episodes

• blog updates

• community plans

⸻

Why This Community Matters

The underwear and gear community has always existed.

But it hasn’t always had a place to connect.

Free the Bulge is about creating that space.

A space where guys can:

• share their interests

• build friendships

• feel confident

• talk openly without shame

And that community only exists because of you — the listeners.

⸻

Listen to the Upcoming Shows

Two episodes are dropping this week:

• Brief Talk Podcast with Zach

• Stretching the Truth — Short Suits in Spandex with Scott (Fourway)

Make sure you check both of them out.

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, UNB Tim brings back the popular swim brief discussion with returning guests Sam from SB Swimwear and Matthew (Matt’s Trunks). The trio dives into why swim briefs deserve a comeback, how attitudes toward them differ across cultures, and why more men should give them a try.

From comfort and confidence to tan lines and travel packing strategies, the conversation explores what makes swim briefs such a unique part of men’s swimwear culture and why they are slowly gaining popularity again in North America.  

⸻

Guests

Sam – SB Swimwear

Founder of SB Swimwear and long-time swim brief wearer who shares insights from designing and selling swimwear to men around the world.

Matthew – Matt’s Trunks

Underwear and swimwear enthusiast who documents brands and styles on his Instagram fashion page.

⸻

Episode Topics

The Swim Brief Comeback

The episode opens with Tim celebrating the return of the swim brief show and discussing the slow resurgence of swim briefs in the United States. While they were common decades ago, American men largely shifted to board shorts. Now, fashion trends and growing confidence are bringing them back into the spotlight.  

Sam explains that in many parts of the world swim briefs have always been normal, but in the U.S. they have sometimes been unfairly labeled as “taboo” or associated only with the LGBTQ community.

The guests agree that visibility and confidence are key to changing perceptions.

⸻

Why Guys Should Try Swim Briefs

The group shares the biggest reasons men should consider switching from board shorts to briefs:

Comfort

Swim briefs allow much greater freedom of movement in the water and on land.

Quick drying

Unlike board shorts, briefs dry quickly and don’t hold water.

Better mobility

They don’t balloon with water or restrict movement during swimming or exercise.

Cleaner tan lines

One of the biggest perks discussed is the crisp, defined tan line that swim briefs create compared to the uneven tan lines from shorts.  

⸻

Swim Briefs and Confidence

The discussion touches on the social side of wearing briefs. Many men hesitate to wear them because of family reactions or social pressure.

The hosts encourage listeners to simply try them.

The general consensus:

Most people stop caring within minutes.

Matt even shares a story about learning that his father used to wear Speedos years ago—something he never expected to hear.

⸻

Buying Your First Swim Brief

The group offers tips for men trying swim briefs for the first time.

Things to look for include:

• A secure drawstring waistband

• Front lining for comfort and coverage

• Proper fit for your body shape

• Trying them in person if possible

They also explain that not all swim briefs are the same—cuts can vary from sporty to fashion-forward, with different side widths and pouch designs.

⸻

Favorite Swim Brief Brands

Each guest shares some of their personal favorites.

Sam

• SB Swimwear (his own brand)

• Arena swim briefs

Matt

• Sykus Wear

• Weldon Athletic

• Kovarex

• Stolen Bones

Tim

• Bear Threads

• Speedo

• Various prints and bold color styles

They also talk about the fun of collecting different styles and prints.

⸻

Travel and Swim Brief Packing

The conversation turns to vacations and swimwear packing strategies.

Tim admits he often packs dozens of pairs for trips so he has options throughout the day.

Matt shares that he plans to bring plenty of briefs for an upcoming trip to Panama, emphasizing how different styles match different moods and activities.

⸻

Where to Wear Swim Briefs

The hosts discuss favorite places to wear swim briefs, including:

• Beaches

• Resort pools

• Lake cottages

• Workouts and athletic events

• Travel destinations like Miami and Southern California

Sam even describes competing in an athletic event while wearing swim briefs without any issues, highlighting their mobility and durability.

⸻

Bonus Content

After the main episode ends, the conversation continues with a Patreon-exclusive segment where the hosts play a “Would You Rather” game, moving from lighthearted questions to more spicy topics.

In this episode of Brief Talk, I sit down once again with Paul Williams-Ferns, founder of Dante 7 Underwear, along with three of his models — Will, Jamie, and Leigh — for a conversation that goes far beyond fabric and photography. What started as a follow-up about his brand launch quickly turned into an honest discussion about vulnerability, confidence, masculinity, and the unexpected bonds formed during a shoot.

Paul shares why he intentionally chose everyday men over influencers or OnlyFans models, looking instead for personality, depth, and even vulnerability. He explains how building Dante 7 is about more than underwear — it’s about art, philosophy, storytelling, and creating a sense of belonging. We talk about what it takes to prepare first-time models for such an exposed experience, especially in a social media world that can be both empowering and brutal.

Will opens up about battling self-doubt and how stepping in front of the camera helped rebuild his confidence after personal loss. Jamie talks about turning 40 and deciding to take chances instead of living with regret, and how modeling has reignited something in him creatively. Leigh shares his perspective as the straight guy in a gay-centered brand and how quickly orientation became irrelevant when it came down to camaraderie, laughter, and mutual support.

We also dig into the reality of modeling — the physical strain of holding poses, the mental exhaustion of long shoot days, and the discipline behind getting the perfect shot. Paul discusses the importance of premium fabrics, sustainability, and why he wanted honest feedback from the guys before ever wearing the product himself.

At its core, this episode is about stepping outside your comfort zone, supporting each other, and finding confidence in unexpected places. It’s a reminder that sometimes the boldest move you can make is simply saying yes.

Dante

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, UNB Tim sits down with Paul, founder and designer of the upcoming luxury underwear brand Dante Seven. What starts as a conversation about launching a new brand quickly turns into a deep dive into art, literature, religion, shame, sexuality, and the power of storytelling in men’s underwear.

Paul shares his journey from corporate digital marketing into fashion, how working behind the scenes for a major underwear brand pushed him toward creating something of his own, and why he felt compelled to design a brand that speaks to older men, diverse bodies, and lived experience—rather than chasing trends or OnlyFans aesthetics.

Inspired by Dante’s Inferno, sculpture, religious iconography, and the Seven Deadly Sins, Dante Seven is built as a fully immersive, premium experience. Paul walks through the philosophy behind the brand’s three launch collections—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—the creation of the Gabriel Collection, and how sins are reimagined as affirming, empowering traits rather than sources of shame.

The conversation also explores community building, chosen family, transparency in manufacturing, and why storytelling matters more than hype. Paul opens up about his background, his motivation for creating a Founder’s Circle, and his vision for underwear as art, identity, and connection.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in underwear culture, independent brands, creative risk-taking, and building something meaningful in a crowded space.

Brief Talk Podcast – Featuring JD from BearThreads

This week on the Brief Talk Podcast, Tim sits down with JD, founder of BearThreads, a swimwear brand designed to celebrate bigger bodies, confidence, and self-expression—without compromise.

JD shares the personal journey that led him to launch BearThreads, born out of frustration with how traditional swimwear is graded for larger waists but not real bodies. What started as a mission to create better-fitting shorts evolved into bold, body-positive swim briefs that center comfort, fit, and—yes—the pouch.

The conversation dives deep into why pouch design matters, how BearThreads balances showcasing without exaggeration, and why men of all sizes deserve swimwear that makes them feel confident and seen. JD and Tim also talk openly about masculinity, body image, American swimwear culture, and the freedom that comes from wearing what you actually want—not what society says you should.

They explore:

  • Why most swimwear flattens instead of celebrates
  • The difference between Speedos made for competition and fashion swim briefs
  • Why confidence—not body type—is the key to pulling off bold swimwear
  • Mini briefs vs. classic cuts and how different styles change proportions
  • How swim briefs can spark connection, conversation, and community
  • Giving yourself permission to wear what you love, at any size

JD also shares advice for guys who are curious about swim briefs but hesitant to try them, encouraging listeners to stop negotiating with themselves and start choosing what truly makes them feel good.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in swimwear, confidence, masculinity, or redefining how men show up—at the beach, the pool, and in their own bodies.

Brief Talk Podcast — Brief Tale with Jason (“Plays Both Sides”)

In this episode of Brief Talk, Tim sits down with Jason—known online as Plays Both Sides—for an open, honest, and refreshingly candid conversation about underwear, masculinity, sexuality, and self-expression.

Jason is a straight guy who discovered thongs, jockstraps, and cheeky underwear later in life—and never looked back. What began as curiosity turned into confidence, community, and a full-on underwear lifestyle. Together, Tim and Jason unpack what it really means to feel sexy, why underwear doesn’t define sexuality, and how exploring personal style can unlock self-acceptance, better health, and deeper connections with others.

Episode Highlights

• Jason’s late-in-life discovery of thongs and jocks after years of wearing boxer briefs

• The moment he realized underwear could make him feel sexy, not just be functional

• How curiosity turned into collecting, researching brands, and engaging with the underwear community

• Why underwear choice has nothing to do with sexual orientation

• Navigating underwear exploration while in a long-term straight relationship

• Support, openness, and humor from Jason’s girlfriend—and where she draws the line

• Finding confidence, motivation, and improved health through feeling good in what you wear

• The surprising role of Jason’s gay brother and the Houston leather and kink community in his journey

• From Reddit friendships to in-person meetups—and even being gifted a bag of underwear

• Favorite brands, styles, colors, and the move from thongs into classic jockstraps

• Curiosity about lingerie, lace, corsets, and pushing past traditional ideas of masculinity

• Why more straight men are openly embracing underwear, jocks, and swimwear today

• Advice for guys who are curious but hesitant: try it—your underwear doesn’t define you

Why This Episode Matters

This conversation breaks down outdated ideas around masculinity and underwear. Jason’s story shows that exploring what makes you feel good—whether that’s thongs, jocks, or lingerie—is about confidence, not labels. It’s about doing something for yourself and finding community along the way.

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, Tim sits down with Sam, the founder of SB Swimwear, to talk about his lifelong love of Speedos, how CrossFit helped spark a viral moment, and what led him to launch his own swimwear brand—designed and manufactured in Italy.

Born and raised in Italy, Sam grew up wearing Speedos as the norm, from childhood beach days to swimming workouts. That early comfort carried into adulthood, CrossFit training, and eventually competition—where a Speedo-only workout in Miami went viral and helped grow his Instagram following.

From there, the idea for SB Swimwear was born. Sam shares how he worked closely with an Italian manufacturer in Tuscany, leaned on family support, and refined a classic swim brief cut designed to work just as well for swimming laps as it does for beach lounging. The result is a clean, confident design launched first in red, followed by white and blue—colors that nod to both his Italian roots and American identity.

The conversation also dives into:

• Why Speedos are more functional than board shorts

• How body confidence develops over time

• Wearing swim briefs beyond the beach (including competitions and hiking)

• Customer reactions from around the world

• The slow cultural shift toward swim briefs making a comeback

• Advice for guys who want to wear Speedos but feel hesitant

Sam also opens up about what success looks like for him—not just sales, but seeing customers feel more confident in their own skin.

If you’ve ever thought about wearing a swim brief, designing your own gear, or challenging outdated ideas around masculinity and swimwear, this episode is for you.

]]> UNB Blog full false 52:45 Brief Talk Podcast – The King of Big Pouches: A Talk With WildmanT http://underwearnewsbriefs.com/2025/11/brief-talk-podcast-the-king-of-big-pouches-a-talk-with-wildmant/ Sat, 22 Nov 2025 16:15:54 +0000 https://underwearnewsbriefs.com/?p=114229

In this lively and candid episode, UNB Tim sits down with Tim Wildman, founder of WildmanT, to discuss the evolution of his brand and how he became the go-to creator of big-pouch underwear. The conversation dives into how the Big Dick Underwear Company was born, how marketing restrictions shaped the brand’s voice, the challenges of producing in the U.S., and the surprising demographics of his customer base.

The two Tims explore the rise of pouch-focused underwear, being copied by competitors, the unexpected popularity of thongs among straight men, and the growth of the modified/pumpers community that helped shape WildmanT’s Monster Cock line. The episode also touches on social media censorship, customer needs, limited-edition drops, and upcoming product ideas like leggings and swim thongs.

Funny, brutally honest, and packed with insider industry insights, this episode highlights the importance of solving real problems for real men—and the sometimes wild world of men’s underwear design.

⸻

Takeaways

Brand Origins & Strategy

• WildmanT started in 2009 with novelty items but pivoted after consistent copying and marketing limitations.

• When ads weren’t allowed, he turned keywords into his main advertising strategy—using language big brands couldn’t.

• Search terms like “big dick underwear” became a goldmine because buyers were already looking for exactly that.

Building a Unique Market

• WildmanT intentionally targeted underserved men in middle America who struggled with comfort in standard underwear.

• His brand became one of the first fully dedicated “big pouch” companies, not just a single product line.

Challenges of Social Media & E-Commerce

• Platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Amazon routinely flag men’s underwear images regardless of compliance.

• Even mannequin photos are often rejected, forcing the use of “ghost” product shots.

• Automated content moderation is inconsistent, making it difficult for underwear brands to operate normally online.

Product Evolution

• Customer demand continually pushed for bigger pouches—today’s “Big Boy” is nearly double its original size.

• The Monster Cock pouch was born from needs of the modified/pumpers community.

• Limited editions (Halloween, upcoming Santa brief) sell out immediately and won’t be reproduced.

Manufacturing Philosophy

• All WildmanT products are made in Fort Lauderdale, FL, which increases costs but maintains quality and control.

• The team is exploring leggings, but pricing and production costs remain a barrier.

• Swimwear thongs may return soon.

Customer Insights

• 60–70% of WildmanT customers are straight men seeking comfort solutions.

• Doctors who perform implants and scrotal enhancement surgeries recommend WildmanT to patients.

• Big dick underwear isn’t just about vanity—many buyers struggle with long-term comfort and mobility issues.

Industry Commentary

• Copycat designs are rampant in the underwear market.

• Smaller brands often lose out when competing companies mass-produce their ideas.

• Despite growing acceptance, men’s underwear is still difficult to market due to censorship and social taboos.

⸻

Sound Bites

• “My raunchy mouth is what made me the king of big dick underwear.”

• “People searched for big dick problems—but nobody marketed to them until I did.”

• “There are things out there bigger than I ever thought possible.”

• “If you’re hard, you should probably take your underwear off and start fucking.”

• “I make everything in the U.S. because I want perfection—and oversight.”

• “Some people buy my underwear not because they need it, but because it makes them feel good.”

• “Everything I make is designed for support and comfort first. Fun comes second.”

• “Many of my customers have spent 20, 30, sometimes 40 years trying to find underwear that finally fits.”

• “The Monster Cock pouch was created because the modified community needed an off-the-shelf solution.”

• “I can’t hide from my Southern family what I do—they see the site and think it’s wild.”

Episode Summary

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, UNB Tim is joined by Scott, a straight man and long-time thong and spandex wearer, for a deep dive into masculinity, societal expectations, and the uneven playing field between gay and straight men when it comes to self-expression. Together, they unpack the cultural double standards that dictate what straight men can and can’t wear, how those rules stem from patriarchal control, and the emotional journey many men go through in embracing their authentic selves.

Scott opens up about his journey from high school football lineman and military Blackhawk pilot to body-positive advocate and unapologetic spandex-wearing gym-goer. He shares his near-death experience that led him to reevaluate his relationship with masculinity and stop living for others’ approval. This conversation touches on the societal discomfort with men expressing sexiness, why straight men face harsher criticism for non-traditional clothing choices, and how control, not attire, lies at the heart of these reactions.

Whether you’re gay, straight, or somewhere in between, this episode is a wake-up call to examine how masculinity is policed—and how liberating it is to break free from those constraints.

Notable Quotes

“Men fear the most the things that set them free.” – Scott

“It’s not the thong they’re offended by—it’s what the thong represents to them.” – UNB Tim

“You’re only as manly as the last thing you did. So if you’re not doing manly things, people start to question who you are.” – Scott

“Straight men want to be in control of everything in their life… and when they can’t control another man, it terrifies them.” – Scott

“What you wear doesn’t make you a man. But needing to control what other men wear? That says more about you than them.” – Scott

“If you look someone in the eye with conviction and show them you’re not afraid, bullies back down. They don’t know what to do with that energy.” – Scott

“Most people are too busy with their own lives to care what underwear you’re wearing. The fear is in your head.” – Scott

“You may lose some friends, but you’ll gain better ones. Burn out the deadwood. What you gain on the other side is worth it.” – Scott

“This isn’t just about underwear. This is about saving men from themselves—and the violence that grows from unchecked masculinity.” – Scott

“For anyone wanting to explore this more, read For the Love of Men by Liz Plank. It shifted my entire mindset.” – Scott

Welcome to the latest episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, where we dive into the fascinating world of men’s thong swimwear and underwear. In this special international edition, we’ve gathered thong enthusiasts from three different countries to discuss the cultural acceptance of thongs, share personal experiences, and explore the growing trend of thong wear among men.

Guests and Their Backgrounds

  • Chris from Chicago, USA: Known for his active participation in the thong community, Chris shares insights from the American perspective, including popular thong-friendly locations and his personal journey in normalizing thong wear.
  • Yes Coach: A new voice to the podcast, he brings a fresh perspective on the topic and shares his enthusiasm for the community.
  • AussieThongbro from Sydney, Australia: With his recognizable accent, AussieThongbro discusses the emerging thong culture in Sydney and the regional differences within Australia.

Cultural Views on Men’s Thongs

Each guest provides a unique take on how their country views men’s thongs, particularly in public spaces like beaches. We delve into the acceptance levels, societal norms, and the presence of thong wearers in various regions.

  • Australia: Ozzy Thongbro reflects on the regional attitudes towards thongs, noting that while Sydney is becoming more accepting, other parts of Australia may still hold conservative views.
  • New Zealand: Yes Coach contrasts the New Zealand perspective with Australia, highlighting the lack of an ingrained Speedo culture and the general conservatism outside of Auckland.
  • USA: Chris discusses the mixed acceptance in the States, pointing out that while certain beaches and nudist locations are thong-friendly, mainstream beaches still favor more conservative swimwear.

Thong Tan Lines and Public Perception

The conversation shifts to the topic of thong tan lines, their appeal, and what they signify about the wearer. The guests share their strategies for achieving the perfect tan line and the challenges that come with wearing different thong styles.

Thong-Friendly Beaches and Events

We discuss specific thong-friendly beaches in each country and the concept of thonger weekends, where enthusiasts gather to celebrate their love for thongs. The guests ponder the possibility of such events gaining popularity in their respective countries.

Thong Underwear Acceptance

The episode also touches on the acceptance of thong underwear for men. The guests compare the visibility and availability of thong underwear in retail stores and the online market, as well as the personal confidence boost that comes with wearing them.

Community Impact and Social Media Challenges

Our guests share how they’ve inspired others to embrace thong wear and the positive feedback they’ve received. They also address the challenges of posting thong-related content on social media platforms like Instagram, where community guidelines often seem inconsistent and biased.

Final Thoughts

As we wrap up the episode, we reflect on the progress made in normalizing men’s thong wear and the work that still needs to be done. We encourage listeners to embrace their preferences and contribute to a more open and accepting 

environment for thong enthusiasts worldwide.

Welcome back to the Brief Talk Podcast! We’ve heard your requests loud and clear, and we’re thrilled to bring you the much-anticipated Thong Show. This episode is dedicated to all the thong enthusiasts out there, and we’ve got a packed lineup of guests who are passionate about their thongs.

Joining us today are:

  • Mr. Chris, also known as the Crimson Ginger, who’s been wearing thongs for about a decade and started his journey with Joe Boxer thongs from Kmart.
  • Eric from the Jockeroom, who mixes thongs into his regular rotation of underwear and enjoys the comfort and variety they offer.
  • Mr. Andy, one of the original thongers, who has a long history with thongs dating back to his first Brute thong from Kmart.
  • Chris, another thong veteran, who started his thong journey at 16 with Hang Ten thongs and has since amassed a collection that’s 95% thongs.
  • Mr. Eric, who got his first BVD thong from Target in his teens and now has a collection where thongs make up over 50%.

In this episode, we dive into the world of thongs, discussing everything from our first thong experiences to the percentage of thongs in our collections. We also share tips for those new to thongs, such as starting with a comfortable and affordable brand like iKingsky from Amazon and gradually increasing wear time to get used to the fit.

We reminisce about thong brands we miss, like the classic Joe Snyder and Prevail Sport, and dream about celebrities we’d love to see in a thong, with names like Tom Holland, Chris Meloni, and Henry Cavill coming up.

Our guests reveal whether they’ve ever flashed their thongs accidentally or on purpose, their favorite places to wear swim thongs, and whether they’ve received compliments in public. We also discuss the importance of not caring about others’ opinions when rocking a thong.

Lastly, we wrap up with some quickfire questions, getting insights into our guests’ preferences between thongs and G-strings, favorite colors, and the longest time spent exclusively in thongs.

Don’t forget to join our Patreon for a metric ton of podcasts coming your way this year, and stay tuned for the launch of our After Dark show for more spicy and adult content.

We bring you the second edition of the White Brief show. I am joined by our two white brief guys, Jock Embarassedd and Eric aka TheJockerRoom. Our main topic is: what exactly is a pair of Tighty Whities? What must a pair have in order to be considered? “tighy whities” No surprise, we all have different definitions. 

We talk about the white briefs culture and the passion behind the guys who are in love with this style. It’s a pair that is overlooked by the mainstream underwear guys. However, it is one of the pairs that have a deep history and a whole fetish culture around the pair.

I have wanted to do a show talking to OF creators who are also underwear lovers. We have had all three of these guys on the show, and now we have them in one conversation. It was an interesting talk about content creation for an audience for spicy content. 

I am joined by Down Under Bri, Jock Embarrassed, and Brief Bro aka Lee. Each one of these does different things on OF. One goes full-on, the other has a more niche kink audience, and the other does solo content. 

We may be doing a Brief Talk Podcast After DArk that is more adult-themed and spicy. I”m still debating that.

This talk builds on our recent white brief show, where we addressed some of the kinks around white briefs. However, he doesn’t just like white briefs. He wears many other styles as well. Listen to this underwear lover; we hope you enjoy his story.

Today, we bring you something a little different. We have David, one of the co-founders of an event in Atlanta called Kink Down South. A kink event held in June brought the world of kink to the south. We talked about the event, how successful the first year was, and how little time they had to plan it. We also learned that kink is what you make and should be open to all. It’s refreshing to hear this; we fully support them and their mission. Lastly, we discussed some of David’s favorite gear and what he liked about them. David is a fantastic guest that I want to have on the show for other kink-focused shows! And maybe a singlet show!

UNB Tim:
Hey everyone, welcome to another edition of the Brief Talk Podcast. We have a brief tell for you from someone down under. You may know him from Instagram and Twitter and maybe his spicier side. Um, it is Down Under Bright. Welcome.

DownUnder Bri:
Thank you for having me, very excited

UNB Tim:
It’s

DownUnder Bri:
to be here.

UNB Tim:
good to have you here. He is not a podcasting virgin. He’s done podcasting before. And it’s good to have him on here. I know we’ve been talking for a while and time zones

DownUnder Bri:
about the time zones, isn’t

UNB Tim:
suck.

DownUnder Bri:
it? This is

UNB Tim:
It’s

DownUnder Bri:
actually

UNB Tim:
just.

DownUnder Bri:
a pretty good time zone, I think. I think it’s, you know, it’s not too early in the morning for me and not too early in the evening for you.

UNB Tim:
Now the east coast of Australia does well for me. So anytime I do Sydney or Melbourne, I’m good. I’m like, okay, we can make this work. One of us is either gonna be up, you know, nine-ish, you know,

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah, respectable.

UNB Tim:
seven at night. It’s not bad. Not like where it’s like, oh, Jesus, one of us is gonna be up at 2 a.m. and it’s

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
usually me.

DownUnder Bri:
no

UNB Tim:
But

DownUnder Bri:
thank you.

UNB Tim:
so no, this is a good time zone. We have you here. Great to be here with you and finally get you on here. We’ve talked forever.

DownUnder Bri:
Hooray!

UNB Tim:
We have some things in common. We were talking beforehand and underwear is one of them. Yay.

DownUnder Bri:
Hehehehe

UNB Tim:
We love underwear. So first off, tell our listeners who may not be familiar with you a little bit about you.

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah, well, Down Under Bri is my username on pretty much any platform you could think of. Brian is my name. I feel like I’m too old to come up with a pseudonym that is different. So I’m happy to go by Bri or Brian. Based in Melbourne, Australia and currently, oh, should I say? Yeah, currently 41 years old and yeah, enjoying life.

UNB Tim:
You are way older than I thought you were.

DownUnder Bri:
I’m

UNB Tim:
I’m just

DownUnder Bri:
that is

UNB Tim:
saying.

DownUnder Bri:
the perfect that I really enjoy that reaction. So keep it coming is all I say.

UNB Tim:
I get the same reaction when people find out. It’s one of my friend’s husbands found out my age and he’s just like, what? I go, yeah. He goes, no. And I’m going, you wanna see the driver’s license?

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
Here

DownUnder Bri:
good

UNB Tim:
you go.

DownUnder Bri:
reactions like that please. Shock and awe about how good my skin is, is more than welcome.

UNB Tim:
And it’s just like, um, I thought you were like 15 years younger than you were. And I’m like, love you. You’re sticking around.

DownUnder Bri:
The

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
trick is not to go outside is all I say.

UNB Tim:
Well, that’s been mine in the last, like, 20 years. It’s like, I don’t go outside. Everyone’s like, don’t you go to the beach? And I’m like, I haven’t been to the beach since the 90s, so no.

DownUnder Bri:
and don’t underestimate the power of low watt lighting. Ha

UNB Tim:
Well, and,

DownUnder Bri:
ha ha!

UNB Tim:
and staying and making sure they have like, best lean over the glasses and you’re great.

DownUnder Bri:
Oh,

UNB Tim:
So

DownUnder Bri:
that season

UNB Tim:
just be

DownUnder Bri:
one

UNB Tim:
like,

DownUnder Bri:
RuPaul filter? No thank you.

UNB Tim:
so, but yeah, so you’re down under, it’s great to have more Aussie guys on the show because

DownUnder Bri:
Yes.

UNB Tim:
as I was telling you, you have such an amazing swimwear and underwear market there. that

DownUnder Bri:
Great.

UNB Tim:
makes me so jealous because every time you turn around, there’s a new Australian brand in either swimwear, underwear or both.

DownUnder Bri:
Yep.

UNB Tim:
And

DownUnder Bri:
Look,

UNB Tim:
they’re so amazing.

DownUnder Bri:
it definitely reflects back in US as well. There’s a lot of US brands that I would love to purchase, but unfortunately, yeah, the shipping can be sometimes horrendous to get it over there. So look, one day we’ll find out a way to make it a lot cheaper for us to send things over.

UNB Tim:
We need that Star Trek transporter where he just pushes the button and he goes deeeeeeek

DownUnder Bri:
tell

UNB Tim:
and

DownUnder Bri:
me

UNB Tim:
there

DownUnder Bri:
about

UNB Tim:
it

DownUnder Bri:
it, that’s

UNB Tim:
is!

DownUnder Bri:
exactly right. That’s the technology that I am waiting for.

UNB Tim:
because I know there are many brands I want to order. And usually when we talk about US brands, End to End is right on the top of the list for a lot of people.

DownUnder Bri:
Mm-hmm.

UNB Tim:
And I’m like, oh my God, I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t have End to End. I think I would kill somebody.

DownUnder Bri:
Oh god.

UNB Tim:
Oh my God. It’s like my favorite. And I’m just like, I must have it.

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
So yeah, and our post offices for a while, they didn’t play well together

DownUnder Bri:
No.

UNB Tim:
because it was taking a couple of months to get things back and forth. And I’m like, What is this?

DownUnder Bri:
It’s stupid. Yeah. Look, unfortunately, our Australia Post Service, we did have a partnership with a US Dropbox type situation, but they’ve since got rid of that. I think maybe because it was too expensive or something like that, but oh well, we just have to deal with it normally.

UNB Tim:
The only one that does shipping really well to the US is Ozzy Bomb.

DownUnder Bri:
Yep.

UNB Tim:
And I don’t know what deal they have, what witchcraft they did, or who they cursed to get them to do it, but it’ll get here in a couple days. And I’m just

DownUnder Bri:
Wow,

UNB Tim:
like,

DownUnder Bri:
that’s amazing.

UNB Tim:
a couple days to a week, it depends on what you… But it’s like…

DownUnder Bri:
That’s really good.

UNB Tim:
Did you really come up with lots of voodoo dolls in your back room or something? Cause wow, even

DownUnder Bri:
there’s

UNB Tim:
in

DownUnder Bri:
a

UNB Tim:
the

DownUnder Bri:
potential

UNB Tim:
worst time

DownUnder Bri:
secret sauce.

UNB Tim:
there.

DownUnder Bri:
There could be a potential secret sauce there somewhere. Maybe they do it where they have a factory in America maybe.

UNB Tim:
Now, I know a couple of Australian brands have like, just, well, fulfillment centers here, because they don’t want to deal with it and it’s way easier, but theirs comes from Sydney, because

DownUnder Bri:
Wow.

UNB Tim:
I, because I tracked it before and I’m just like, how did you do that?

DownUnder Bri:
Wow. Maybe it’s up to us Aussie boys to do that research on behalf of your blogs.

UNB Tim:
Well, you know, I don’t order for much now, but it’s just like good for you people. I just wish the other ones would find that secret sauce because there’s,

DownUnder Bri:
Yep.

UNB Tim:
we won’t

DownUnder Bri:
Hahaha.

UNB Tim:
go there because if we spend time talking, we will have a show about Ozzy brand soon, but we won’t do it now because that would be like two hours worth of podcasts,

DownUnder Bri:
Oh, could you imagine?

UNB Tim:
so

DownUnder Bri:
Talking two

UNB Tim:
that would

DownUnder Bri:
hours

UNB Tim:
be

DownUnder Bri:
about

UNB Tim:
heavy.

DownUnder Bri:
underway. How rude.

UNB Tim:
Well, I’ve done it before and I’m sure

DownUnder Bri:
Yes.

UNB Tim:
I will do it again soon, but I’m trying to get more, more people to talk underwear. That’s what these shows are about. It’s like,

DownUnder Bri:
That’s good.

UNB Tim:
come on people, talk underwear, talk it with your friends. Come

DownUnder Bri:
Do

UNB Tim:
on,

DownUnder Bri:
it. Make

UNB Tim:
do

DownUnder Bri:
it normal.

UNB Tim:
it. That’s what I say. That’s, and guys seem to be enjoying the podcast. We keep growing. So

DownUnder Bri:
Hooray!

UNB Tim:
we’re keep doing it. People enjoying our Patreon before I forget because I keep forgetting to do it because of the kidney stone and I did not put it in other shows. And I have a special announcement. Uh, I’ll turn it at the end of the show. I’ll turn it on your show. We’ll have a special announcement at the end, but

DownUnder Bri:
exciting.

UNB Tim:
get us to 20 people. We’re at 16 now. We’re only four away. We’ve grown quite a bit, but we haven’t done anything. So there’s my speech in the middle of your podcast. Sorry about that.

DownUnder Bri:
Hahaha

UNB Tim:
We’ve got to earn the coin to keep this going, people. Um, we have big ideas and I’ll tell you at the end. So, and you may be able to be part of it. So,

DownUnder Bri:
Bring it on!

UNB Tim:
and you don’t even know what it is yet. I haven’t even

DownUnder Bri:
Uh

UNB Tim:
told

DownUnder Bri:
oh.

UNB Tim:
you.

DownUnder Bri:
Oh god.

UNB Tim:
But it’s a good, it’s a real good thing, trust me. So, so yeah. So, okay, back to underwear, back to fun, back to you.

DownUnder Bri:
Bring it.

UNB Tim:
So, being a young Aussie lad, when did you discover underwear? What was it that said, hmm, I love this, I must experience this? So what was it that caught your eye and made you have the… As we see, the underwear bug can grow from there.

DownUnder Bri:
Yes. Look, I know that I do listen to a lot of these brief tales and can say that I am probably one of the stereotypes where you go to the aisle of the department store, you see the underwear aisle, you see all the men with the underwear on the packaging, and that’s where it started. Probably even before I even labelled myself as gay, there was… fascination towards the Underwear Isle. So I’m not saying that I am different from the norm, that’s definitely where it actually started.

UNB Tim:
So you took the pilgrimage to the Holy Land, as I call it,

DownUnder Bri:
Yes.

UNB Tim:
and saw all the amazing things, which, being in Australia, you had to have many different things than we did here in the States because…

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah, it looked just different department stores really. I think nowadays the department stores have their own generic brands, but

UNB Tim:
Hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
back then the department, a lot of the department stores had a good variety of range to choose from, so it wasn’t just their generic in-store range. Uh, they actually did have, you know, a lot of the good brands, uh, that were out there, which was a good way to be introduced to, you know, the American brands to start with.

UNB Tim:
And which American brands did you start with and do you still like? That’s the question.

DownUnder Bri:
Calvin Klein was definitely a big brand back when I

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
was first looking at underwear. I ended up, I don’t think I ended up purchasing any Calvin Klein’s in the end. I think mainly because of the cost at the time.

UNB Tim:
Oh yeah.

DownUnder Bri:
But To Exist was probably one of the ones that really caught my eye at the start. Specifically, the thongs was something that back when I first started, I did a bit of a cyclic thing. started with a couple of thongs when I first enjoyed underwear, went to briefs, went to short trunks, and now I’m jocking thong. So

UNB Tim:
Wow.

DownUnder Bri:
an interesting thing, just like fashion, fashion is circular, and I think my love for the different styles of underwear is circular as well. But

UNB Tim:
here.

DownUnder Bri:
2XS was probably the main brand that I started with in Australia.

UNB Tim:
That’s a good one. But you do something most people who’ve been on here don’t do is you’ve circled through brands. A lot of people get started and stick with or expand a little bit. But you mentioned like just about every style there from thongs to briefs to trunks back to jocks and thongs. And that’s kind of cool, though, because

DownUnder Bri:
Mm.

UNB Tim:
I have a My taste sort of range because I hate trunks because they drive me crazy because they have no pouch

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
But I like the really long boxer briefs that are like the compression gear and the spandexy with the pouch Love those like coxsacks makes like the most incredible ones and it’s like

DownUnder Bri:
Nice.

UNB Tim:
Love these are they did. I don’t know if they still make those I have to look I don’t think they do because it used to be their sports line amazing, uh, so But yeah, it’s Most guys usually stick to one, maybe two styles, but it’s good to hear you like all of them.

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah, well, I mean, you’ve got to try them all out to work out what you like. Nowadays, yeah, I definitely think that the most that I wear are jock straps. And, but now I’m this sort of year, I’m actually coming into work wearing thongs a lot more again.

UNB Tim:
Alright, you go boy.

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
Go. So that sort of takes away my next question. So because you explained you went all over the map and that

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
didn’t really influence you but your current favorite styles are thongs and jocks. What are your favorites right now as in terms of everyday wear or you know fun wear or Which ones are you gravitating toward? Which brands right now?

DownUnder Bri:
Brands at the moment, so I wouldn’t necessarily say that I am brand loyal. I am happy to try a good variety of brands. The good thing is when I was first exploring getting into underwear, I would subscribe to underwear subscriptions that would send

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
you a pair every month. That’s really what first introduced me to a good variety of brands. So I was very happy with that. But nowadays, it’s not necessarily the brand. Sometimes it’s about trying out the styles and trying out the new ones. But I do know that at this stage, Man Crush Apparel is probably something that I’m really enjoying at the moment. They have a good staple range. I wouldn’t say they’re particularly adventurous with their styles. They’ve got just the basic jocks, the basic briefs, the basic swimwear in regards to the design. But it’s still, there’s nothing wrong with being good at basic, in my

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
opinion. They do have some fun colors. They do have some fun patterns with a swimwear at the moment So I am enjoying that range at the moment and I’m actually trying Ozzy bum again I was a little bit off with Ozzy bum for quite a while mainly because The fit for every brand was the fit for every style was slightly different I know that

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
we were talking I think crimson was talking about Andrew Christian last month

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
last week was in relation to how depending on the style that you end up getting, the fit will be slightly different. So that’s what

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
turned me off Ozzybumb. But I’m going back to Ozzybumb based on recommendations from friends telling me that no, actually they’re really getting their designs quite more universally appealing, because not everyone has a huge pouch and not everyone has a huge badonkadonk. So it’s good to

UNB Tim:
crew.

DownUnder Bri:
go back there. So I’m trying out Ozzybumb again, especially when they’ve got some great sales on at the moment, picking up some really nice cheap underwear is… a great thing. Not that I should be always going just because they’re cheap. But, you know,

UNB Tim:
Hey.

DownUnder Bri:
like all of us, girl is on a budget. So we want to make sure that we, you know, get money, get our bang for our buck, really.

UNB Tim:
They have amazing sales because

DownUnder Bri:
Absolutely.

UNB Tim:
they will do the 50% off. Like they just did this week is 50% off swimwear and they do the 50% off underwear every so often. And then they do 50% off everything. And it’s just like, cause we have Cody who’s on our shows and every time they have a sale, I’m like, Hey, did you see the sale? He’s like, shut up. Don’t tell me I’m going to

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
spend more money. My

DownUnder Bri:
It’s

UNB Tim:
husband’s

DownUnder Bri:
terrible.

UNB Tim:
going to be mad at me. And I’m like, that’s not my problem. I’m just, I’m just I’m just the messenger. I’m passing

DownUnder Bri:
Exactly.

UNB Tim:
this along to you. So yeah, Ozzybomb, I’ve had some good stuff from them over the years, and I really want to get some more, but I’ve got to lose some weight so I can fit in their stuff, because I looked

DownUnder Bri:
Oh

UNB Tim:
at their

DownUnder Bri:
no.

UNB Tim:
sizing, and I’m like, I do not fit in nothing you make now, so,

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah. I mean,

UNB Tim:
but I do like

DownUnder Bri:
look,

UNB Tim:
them.

DownUnder Bri:
they are Sydney based and Sydney, in my opinion, is equivalent to the California of Australia. So there are certain body standards that Sydney do have. So they’re not always completely accommodating, but maybe there might be a range that there’s a niche market that they haven’t tapped into

UNB Tim:
Wow.

DownUnder Bri:
yet.

UNB Tim:
You think? I’m not going there. This is not the show for that. So we’re not.

DownUnder Bri:
No, that’s over that. No, that’s alright.

UNB Tim:
I’m not getting it on. I’m not getting on my high horse for that. I’m a soapbox. So I’m

DownUnder Bri:
That’s

UNB Tim:
just

DownUnder Bri:
okay.

UNB Tim:
letting it go.

DownUnder Bri:
I do know that other brands at the moment that I’ve been enjoying, uh, teammate, I am definitely

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
enjoying, uh, I’m loving their, um, their nude range, uh,

UNB Tim:
Uh-huh.

DownUnder Bri:
and their thongs that they’ve brought out recently as well. Uh, as well as for workout where, um, Helsinki Athletica, uh, is another range that I’ve really been enjoying. Um, so that is from what I understand Helsinki is actually an Australian brand, even though it sounds that it’s European.

UNB Tim:
I’m gonna say it sounds like Scandinavia.

DownUnder Bri:
Exactly. But I believe it’s actually an Australian brand. And I’ve been enjoying their workout wear at the moment. So trying that out. Again, jumping on the sales. So Helsinki Athletica is something I really enjoy from a workout wear point of view.

UNB Tim:
Well, as we say, there’s nothing wrong with a good sale because it’s good, because I’ve told people in the past who are getting into underwear, and I’m like, do a sale or shop clearance and try it before you know, you’re gonna spend $40 on a pair here,

DownUnder Bri:
Exactly.

UNB Tim:
which underwear is getting, as for someone who owns an underwear store, even I am going, what the hell’s up with these prices? 30 US, 40 US for one pair. I’m used to like swimwear. I’m like, okay, swimwear, yeah, we’ll pay that for it because it’s gonna last longer. You’re gonna wear it. But I’m like, underwear? I’m like, this is ridiculous.

DownUnder Bri:
Yep, I completely

UNB Tim:
This is

DownUnder Bri:
agree.

UNB Tim:
not Versace underwear. Even

DownUnder Bri:
No.

UNB Tim:
though the boys are just rocking the hell of it on Instagram and Twitter, every time you turn around, somebody’s wearing Versace. And I’m like, where are you bitches getting this money? Those are like $75 pair of underwear you’re wearing.

DownUnder Bri:
Or maybe that’s where the spicy accounts come into it.

UNB Tim:
Well, I think the spicy accounts or a, you know,

DownUnder Bri:
benefactor

UNB Tim:
how do I phrase this? Your glucose guardian comes into effect.

DownUnder Bri:
Yes, a benefactor.

UNB Tim:
So that’s your

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
generic term for that, your glucose guardian.

DownUnder Bri:
Love it.

UNB Tim:
So yes. So I’m like, I’m not hating you because you got it and you got someone to pay for it. I say go

DownUnder Bri:
Mm.

UNB Tim:
for it. I’m very happy for you. I’m just jealous I don’t have one.

DownUnder Bri:
Yes,

UNB Tim:
So.

DownUnder Bri:
and look, this is a perfect podcast to indicate that I am open to glucose guardians for anyone who is actually listening.

UNB Tim:
Hey, if you want to see him in something, you can send it to him, I’m just saying.

DownUnder Bri:
Exactly!

UNB Tim:
We do take, everyone who’s been on the podcast will gladly take, you know, donations of new underwear to post on their social medias. No one will turn it down, let me tell you. They might not have somewhere for you to ship it to and have to solve that problem first, but they will figure that out and get it from you. So, just saying.

DownUnder Bri:
Hahaha

UNB Tim:
Yes. So yeah, it’s, it’s just crazy to me lately. But that’s another podcast too, people. Trust me.

DownUnder Bri:
Just

UNB Tim:
I have

DownUnder Bri:
think

UNB Tim:
a

DownUnder Bri:
of all the tangents that we’ve got on these podcasts today.

UNB Tim:
Well, there is no, as we know, there is no tangent I do not like and won’t go down. And when I have to do like, I’ll do podcasts for our Patreon members every so often that are just me and I try to keep them super short because if I don’t. Oh my God, it’s going to turn into like a 45 minute rambling on. Oh yeah. My point is, I think it could have been done in like two minutes, but the

DownUnder Bri:
Oh

UNB Tim:
last

DownUnder Bri:
dear.

UNB Tim:
one I did, I did, I kept on track. I had no notes. I kept on track. And I got through it and I’m like, look, it’s nine minutes. Yay. I

DownUnder Bri:
Hooray!

UNB Tim:
didn’t even get on a tangent. I’m like, I don’t know what happened, but just be thankful because, you know, I can get distracted and I will take, Ooh, what’s this over here? Let’s talk about this.

DownUnder Bri:
That

UNB Tim:
So

DownUnder Bri:
is

UNB Tim:
yes,

DownUnder Bri:
called growth.

UNB Tim:
that is called luck because it’ll probably never happen again. People,

DownUnder Bri:
Hahaha

UNB Tim:
especially if you’re our Patreon member, enjoy it while you can, because I don’t, I need to do an editor’s note for you boys, but I’m just like, to plan this and sit down oh Jesus

DownUnder Bri:
I

UNB Tim:
that’s

DownUnder Bri:
believe

UNB Tim:
what you don’t

DownUnder Bri:
in you. You can do it.

UNB Tim:
and I’ll get on a tangent just deal with it and one went really wrong and I’m just like I’m putting it out anyway

DownUnder Bri:
No.

UNB Tim:
it’s like So we just thought about your favorite sales. So how big is your collection right now? General estimate, if you don’t really know.

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah, I would say it’s approximately 60 to 70 pairs. I would say it’s about 60 to 70 pairs at the moment.

UNB Tim:
Okay,

DownUnder Bri:
So

UNB Tim:
respectable.

DownUnder Bri:
it’s not, yeah, it’s not respect, it’s respectable, but it’s not huge at the moment. I can say that my underwear buying has decreased over the last couple of years based on the cost of living.

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
So… But that’s why I do sometimes jump on the sales. So yeah, but I’m pretty happy with the range at the moment. It’s a good mix of brands, it’s a good mix of styles, and it’s a good mix of everyday use versus fun use that I might wear to a circuit party or something.

UNB Tim:
Well, there you go. And at that level, it’s easy to store because I have like, say, five, no, 400 pairs.

DownUnder Bri:
Yep.

UNB Tim:
And that’s just like, and I’m trying

DownUnder Bri:
That’s

UNB Tim:
to get,

DownUnder Bri:
amazing.

UNB Tim:
I’m trying to go through it, but it’s like, you know, you gotta get rid of your firstborn child when you go through something. It’s like, I can’t get rid of that pair. No, that was so much fun to wear. Oh, and I can’t get rid of this pair because this reminds me of such and such. And I’m just like, oh. I envy those people who can be like, throw it away, get rid of it. I’m just like, no, it’s like my children, sorry. I don’t have any four legged or two legged children, so my underwear becomes it.

DownUnder Bri:
Well,

UNB Tim:
So

DownUnder Bri:
don’t

UNB Tim:
yeah.

DownUnder Bri:
underestimate the power of someone like Sniffer, where you can potentially make a profit from it.

UNB Tim:
Well, I have looked that up because I did not know about that site, so I won’t

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
be looking into that. So take note people, I get asked every so often where you can sell underwear. There you go. Because there is

DownUnder Bri:
especially if you like it customized.

UNB Tim:
Oh yeah, we know all about, we’ve done many shows about that. And

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
you boys, yeah. Yeah. We won’t go there either because yeah, no.

DownUnder Bri:
Add that to the tangent list.

UNB Tim:
That’s definitely another show. Cause

DownUnder Bri:
Hahaha

UNB Tim:
we’re eventually going to do an only fan show, but you know, it’s just not today. Um, cause you could probably, you would definitely be on it. So we’ll definitely get you on it. But it’s just like, I think there’s, cause I was explaining this to someone the other day about the podcast. Cause they’re like, well, how, you know, how open and quotation marks. can I be? And I’m like, well, you can be as open as you want to and whatever. I mean, we’re not going to be like, oh no, you said penis. Oh no.

DownUnder Bri:
Oh

UNB Tim:
I said,

DownUnder Bri:
no.

UNB Tim:
we have an explicit rating for a reason,

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
you know, and underwear is supposed to be sexy. Underwear is supposed to be

DownUnder Bri:
the

UNB Tim:
fun.

DownUnder Bri:
way hold your penis.

UNB Tim:
And it’s supposed to, you know, show, show off and all these fun things. And I’m like, our audience, I think understands that. enjoys that part of it too, so it’s not like we’re going, oh my god, we’re scandalous, and it’s like, everyone knows. So we have a range of gay, straight, bi, but still everyone feels sexy in their underwear, and you know, we don’t live in monasteries, so you know, we’re gonna have fun in our underwear. Just

DownUnder Bri:
Agreed.

UNB Tim:
saying. So yeah. Um, so you have such an interesting story that just does not go along with my questions, but that’s a good

DownUnder Bri:
Sorry.

UNB Tim:
thing. That’s a good thing though. because it’s so different. And I have to come up with the questions on the fly, which I love doing so.

DownUnder Bri:
As much as I love being a gay stereotype, sometimes it is good to be a bit different.

UNB Tim:
You gotta be different and you can’t have the same questions all the time. It gets, it gets rather boring. So, so do your friends know about your love of underwear and your social media and your

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah, so my friends, I have a pretty sex positive friendship group. Um, and most of them are aware of my social media channels, uh, and my love of underwear and making spicy content based on that underwear as well.

UNB Tim:
Hey.

DownUnder Bri:
So yeah, definitely my friends are open to it and some of them do enjoy that as well. Some of them do participate in doing similar things. We’re posting themselves in, in social media and underwear. Sometimes we do end up doing little photo shoots with each other of like, even we went away over Christmas time, we went down to one of our friends holiday homes. It was a lovely summertime for us in Australia. So we decided, okay, well, you take some pictures of me and I’ll take some pictures of you. This is the best way for us we can display new content for each other. So

UNB Tim:
There you

DownUnder Bri:
we

UNB Tim:
go.

DownUnder Bri:
all know that that’s what we like.

UNB Tim:
That’s good though, because usually most people are like, I gotta set the timer and I’ve gotta do this and I’ve gotta do this, like,

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
no.

DownUnder Bri:
Oh look, don’t underestimate the power of an Apple watch if you do have an iPhone.

UNB Tim:
Oh

DownUnder Bri:
I

UNB Tim:
yes.

DownUnder Bri:
love the actual Apple watch and the viewfinder, so highly recommend that. Thankfully, one of our department stores sells quite cheap tripods and that sort of paraphernalia, so highly recommend that sort of situation.

UNB Tim:
Yeah, because I first started following you because of the spicy content you were

DownUnder Bri:
That’s

UNB Tim:
putting

DownUnder Bri:
right.

UNB Tim:
out, and then I noticed, I’m like, oh, he likes underwear too. Oh, look at this.

DownUnder Bri:
Yes,

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
yeah, look, definitely that’s where it started, you know, being on Instagram, you know, kind of almost when Instagram first came out, probably a couple years after that, that’s when I actually created my own Not Safe For Work channel, having underwear as the flow through to start with, and then moving over to the Twitter for something a bit more explicit.

UNB Tim:
Oh yeah, and now that’s a total train wreck but…

DownUnder Bri:
That’s another

UNB Tim:
have?

DownUnder Bri:
tangent.

UNB Tim:
Well, I’m going on this tangent because

DownUnder Bri:
I feel like there should be a tangent checklist every time, a little ding every time we go on a tangent.

UNB Tim:
But I use social media to get guests and I use Instagram and Twitter mainly and There was someone I wanted to get on the show and I was going to send them a direct message And I went to send them a message going. Oh you have to pay Twitter blue to send this person a message and I’m like, oh fuck no. I am NOT paying you to send a message. No no, no and Instagram this week changed it. You can only send one message to somebody you don’t follow. And it’s just like, you’re making my podcasting much harder, people,

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
because

DownUnder Bri:
Look, I do know the Twitter thing was something that happened recently where the setting was changed and a lot of people

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
aren’t aware. So anyone who is on Twitter slash X that is not aware and wondering why they aren’t getting any messages, check your settings to find out who can actually message you. So the actual default setting at the moment is that you can only be Twitter blue if you, you can only receive messages if you are Twitter blue. Um, so make sure the setting is changed to allow everyone to message you.

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
That’s definitely a setting that they changed without telling anyone.

UNB Tim:
Lovely. Thanks. I won’t say your name. So yeah, so yeah, it’s just like, and that brings up the whole question of, I’ll ask you this question with Twitter being, you know, the dumpster fire it is lately. What other social media sites are you looking to go sort of spread content on and change? Because that’s the biggest issue in underwear right now is Instagram is so you know Victorian and oh my god you showed insert whatever mill balls anatomy and then threads came up, but it’s still Instagram and still has there and You know Who else is out there? I’m trying to think but who else are you experimented with and found have you found it to be? Good for you as opposed to just another site

DownUnder Bri:
Alas, a disappointing answer. One of my mottos in 2021 was, we’re not reinventing the wheel here. I am happy for people to do their own beta testing and then jump on something that turns out to be popular. For example, when Twitter was seemed to be going under and everyone was moving to Mastodon, I was waiting to find out if people actually found it worthwhile. So at the moment, I’m sticking with Instagram and Twitter as my main source of communication to my followers. and have yet to find something that is absolutely perfect than what we need. I agree with regards to threads. Threads is just as restrictive as Instagram.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
So although I have my profile on there, I’m not posting on there because it’s just the same as Instagram really,

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
with regards to the restrictions. I am waiting to hear back from people with Blue Sky. I know you’re looking to get onto it too.

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
I’m waiting to hear back from my friends that have said that yes, this is the place to go to. Where I’m actually now starting to focus on is TikTok. So two months ago, I ended up joining TikTok to be a content creator rather than just a voyeur like I have been for the

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
last two years. And that’s been actually quite successful in my opinion in relative to my other accounts. I’m getting a good following, I’m getting good feedback on my TikToks. I wish I could say that the TikToks that I’m creating that are me topless wearing some underwear are doing well. But unfortunately, they are my least successful

UNB Tim:
Thank

DownUnder Bri:
TikToks.

UNB Tim:
you very much.

DownUnder Bri:
It seems that, again, like we talked about before, things that I put five seconds of effort into seem to blow

UNB Tim:
Uh

DownUnder Bri:
up

UNB Tim:
huh.

DownUnder Bri:
in my opinion, as opposed to things that I spend two hours filming and editing, they don’t seem to go anywhere. So, but TikTok, I’m really enjoying. And I think the

UNB Tim:
Okay.

DownUnder Bri:
authenticity of TikTok is what people are really liking at the moment. And it does help. funnel to the other channels that you want people to go onto.

UNB Tim:
Yeah, I’m trying to get on Blue Sky. I’ve heard really good things about Blue Sky for just in general of a social media. And then because of their stance on quote unquote adult content is what it was with Twitter. So they’re basically the same. So I’m like, okay, I have high hopes for this. I joined Mastodon. I like Mastodon, but for the general public, it is just too complicated and too… It’s just like, no. In my favorite words, girl, no. Uh-uh. Because I learned how to do it. I’m like, oh, I get it now. And I’m like, but no one else is gonna get this. This is just, you need to be in the tech field to really get this. And I was like, no.

DownUnder Bri:
Exactly. Look, nowadays, because the fact we have so many different platforms to go on, we want to make sure that the user experience is as seamless as possible and

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
as easy as possible for us to adopt to. Like it’s gone in the days of MySpace of having to like, you know, write your own code to actually make something look pretty on your website and stuff like that. Like we literally just want someone to go, plonk, here, this is the one to use, this is the easy taps, three taps, and you’ve posted a dick pic. three taps and you’ve liked a dip pick,

UNB Tim:
Exactly.

DownUnder Bri:
that’s what we want. You know, we don’t want to be out of looking at the codes and stuff like that.

UNB Tim:
You don’t

DownUnder Bri:
As

UNB Tim:
want

DownUnder Bri:
much

UNB Tim:
to have

DownUnder Bri:
as

UNB Tim:
to.

DownUnder Bri:
message on sounds great, it’s, you’re right. I agree that it’s a bit too complicated for the general population.

UNB Tim:
If you’re not on the same server, you have to put in them and their server and da da. Once I learned that I’m like, okay, I get this now, but I’m like, no one else is going to, this is just no moving on. Cause I thought about starting a UNB server for Macedon. I thought, oh, it’s easy to do. It’s not that hard. And then I’m like, well, it’s too much work. It’s work. No, sorry. It’s not bringing me money. Got to go. So

DownUnder Bri:
I mean,

UNB Tim:
yeah.

DownUnder Bri:
literally nowadays people have a seven second attention span. If they don’t get what they want within seven seconds, they’ll move on.

UNB Tim:
Oh yeah, definitely. But that’s my newest thing I’ve taken on is where are we going in social media with underwear and swimwear.

DownUnder Bri:
Exactly. At the moment,

UNB Tim:
It’s a nightmare.

DownUnder Bri:
there isn’t anywhere to go to. We have no good place to go to. And I completely agree.

UNB Tim:
because we’ve had, I know there are several brands that have left uh, Twitter because of all the craziness going on there’s no one to be associated, any of other people and you know, you got the rest of us who are like, we’re kinda stuck there because it’s the only place we can post stuff and not get oh, bad you, we’re deleting your account for the fourth time so yeah, yeah I

DownUnder Bri:
I

UNB Tim:
think,

DownUnder Bri:
hear you.

UNB Tim:
it’s just a nightmare and it’s just Not changing anytime soon, so.

DownUnder Bri:
No. Hooray for

UNB Tim:
Yay.

DownUnder Bri:
capitalism. Ha ha ha.

UNB Tim:
We love everyone in the social media space. Thanks everyone. Cause yeah, it hurts brands and people because you can’t really post your product. And it’s like, cause I went to Vegas two years, actually two years ago today, cause it came up. I saw my giant piece of Emerald Lagasse Banana Cream Pie I ate two years ago today. Oh my god, it was so good. And it was like, I went to seminars and I’m like, we’ll do all this stuff and do lives and do this. And I’m like thinking, that’s good for women’s brands, but for men’s underwear, yeah, no. None of that shit’s gonna work for me, so thanks. So, moving on. But yeah. So let me ask you this. Um, we’ll get a, we’ll get a jumpstart on our Australian show. Um, so who are up and coming Australian brands that you are not necessarily have tried them, but you like what they’re doing and putting out? Are there

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
any that come

DownUnder Bri:
so…

UNB Tim:
to mind?

DownUnder Bri:
I think Man Crush Apparel is definitely an up and coming brand that I’m really enjoying. Daniel who runs that is a very nice guy and open to getting his brand out there. So I would definitely look at Man Crush. Another one would be King in the Altar. So King in the Altar is by a guy that originally got famous on TikTok. Then he got famous on Twitter, which is a Cinderella story. And then he decided to create his own brand. So I’ve been looking at King and the altar for a while. I have one of their swimwear pieces, which I really enjoy. And I’m looking forward to his next evolution of range that he’s going to be coming out with. A potential unknown brand that, even though it’s been established for a while, I don’t know how well it is, how well known it is in America. is funky trunks. Have you heard

UNB Tim:
I think

DownUnder Bri:
of funky

UNB Tim:
I’ve

DownUnder Bri:
trunks

UNB Tim:
heard

DownUnder Bri:
before?

UNB Tim:
of it, but I haven’t

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
really it sounds familiar, but nothing

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah, so, so Funky Trunks style wise, it is fairly basic. It does appeal to the widest of markets around here, but what does set it apart is its vibrant patterns and its vibrant designs

UNB Tim:
Oh, nice.

DownUnder Bri:
that it does have. So for people out there who are craving those vibrant designs, like of the yesteryear, Funky Trunks is definitely something that I would recommend. I had quite a number of Funky Trunks let’s say about 10 years ago, I was all about the funky trunks because I liked having something vibrant to wear underneath. They both have briefs, they have trunks, they have boxer briefs, they have the longer trunks, and they also do matching swimwear as well. So for a brand, funky trunks is something I would definitely recommend. They also sponsor a lot of the swim teams in Australia as well. So from a swimming point

UNB Tim:
Okay.

DownUnder Bri:
of view, they have very good quality swimwear. And especially again, if you like something that has a lot more vibrancy in its patterns, Funky Trunks is somewhere I would actually recommend and I would definitely be going back to.

UNB Tim:
I will be looking that up. I’ll be looking all of them up. Cause

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah!

UNB Tim:
I haven’t heard, I think I’ve seen Man Crush. I don’t remember. So we’ll talk after this.

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah, it’s

UNB Tim:
But

DownUnder Bri:
alright.

UNB Tim:
it’s one thing we look up, cause that’s one thing I love about Australia is cause you can never know what’s, you know the big ones, of course, you know all the big ones, but you have so many smaller ones that just pop up and have their own little niche market and are doing well in Australia and just. Guys know about them, but the rest of the world needs to know about them. I’m just saying

DownUnder Bri:
Exactly.

UNB Tim:
because what we have

DownUnder Bri:
And look, that’s, that’s the good thing about your blog is the fact that you introduced us to stuff, especially like bulge underwear that, um, or bulge

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

DownUnder Bri:
menswear that, um, you had the podcast recently on. Luke is great. And I’m very much looking forward to seeing what Luke does with his range. Uh, and he has some very good staples in his range. And there’s nothing wrong with being good at basic, as

UNB Tim:
Nope.

DownUnder Bri:
I said. Um, you know, as, as much as we like the Andrew Christians and the petite cues that have a lot of various styles of underwear

UNB Tim:
I know.

DownUnder Bri:
to choose from that aren’t always necessarily, you know, good to wear on an everyday basis.

UNB Tim:
Yes.

DownUnder Bri:
There’s nothing wrong with having some good basic staples like bulge menswear and like man crush to go to, to wear everyday to work.

UNB Tim:
Exactly. And he, he impresses me so much out of that talk, through that podcast. And we talked before and afterwards and I think he’s going to have a brand that’s around a while.

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
I really do.

DownUnder Bri:
I look forward to hearing his successes.

UNB Tim:
And it’s just like, oh my god, and certain people I talk to where I go, you know what you’re doing. You have really sat down, you have really talked to people, you took the business side, you know what’s going on, okay good. And other people that I’ve dealt with over the years where it’s like, oh no, you’re not gonna make it baby, sorry, but…

DownUnder Bri:
don’t tell that to their face.

UNB Tim:
Well, you try to steer them to people who will guide them better. is normally what I do. I was like, hey, you need to talk to so and so at this brand or so and so at this brand. You know, because the underwear market in general is a very open place. People talk. It’s very friendly. It’s not like, oh, there are only certain people in the underwear community that people don’t like. And you do not pay enough to get me to tell those stories. Uh, so yes, if you want to Patreon me quite a bit of money, I will, I will tell those stories, but you’re not paying me enough. Um,

DownUnder Bri:
You

UNB Tim:
so I know all the, I know all the drama. Um, but yeah, it’s like, but they will help everyone out. The best thing that happens is like all the brands used to come to Vegas because you’d have like two aros from Australia and you would have cock socks and you would have, uh, the teammate would come. and then you would have the American brands go. And you would have, you know, at the end of the week, usually, I think it’s three days, by the third day, all the buyers are out either going home or having fun in the city and skipping the rest of the conference. And you see like strange brands talking together. And you’re like, wait a minute, someone’s talking to some, what? And you have all these people going and they’re talking about. their stuff and what they’re doing and like some of the problems they’ve had and they share so it’s really cool industry. I did not know that before many years ago getting into this industry with the blog that it was so friendly and so open and so accepting of people that it’s like that’s really good. I’m so happy.

DownUnder Bri:
That is great to hear. Look, there’s definitely room for everyone. I don’t think that the market is over-saturated yet.

UNB Tim:
Mm-mm.

DownUnder Bri:
There’s definitely a good range out there worldwide.

UNB Tim:
Until we have men’s underwear stores in every city in this country, I would like a Victoria’s Secret. Yeah, no, we’re not oversaturated because we’ve got several in this city alone and I’m like we got one men’s underwear store so yeah, get on it people. So yeah, so we’ll wrap it up there. It’s a good place to wrap it up. We’ll have you back on hopefully soon and many more times because That market just astounds me.

DownUnder Bri:
Yeah, there’s definitely lots to choose from here.

UNB Tim:
I know when I come visit, I will just have to order lots of stuff while I’m there and then have an extra suitcase going home. I’ve already determined and I’m just like, they’re like, did you buy anything? No, well, what’s this suitcase full of underwear? I took it when I went.

DownUnder Bri:
souvenirs?

UNB Tim:
But don’t give me, oh, Border Patrol, oh, TV show. Don’t get me started on that, oh. I love your version. We’ll talk after this. So tell everyone where they can find you on social media.

DownUnder Bri:
Yep, on all these social media channels, I am Down Under Bri, so B-R-I. You can find me on Instagram, I’m on Twitter, I’m on TikTok, I’m on Squirt, I’m on BBRT, I’m on pretty much any channel you can think of, you’ll find me under Down Under Bri. As well as all the Spiceo channels, feel free to have a look at that as well. Plenty of options to choose from.

UNB Tim:
Whether you want mild or spicy, he’s got you covered. So

DownUnder Bri:
Exactly.

UNB Tim:
go check him

DownUnder Bri:
Well, look,

UNB Tim:
out.

DownUnder Bri:
I am the whitest of white, so I am pretty mild. There’s definitely ways that

UNB Tim:
But

DownUnder Bri:
I can get spicy.

UNB Tim:
so he can get wild.

DownUnder Bri:
Hahaha!

UNB Tim:
So nothing wrong with that. Have fun with that, I say. OK, now to our announcement. OK, so we’re trying to get to 20 in general. Patreon people, right? You know, I’ve been talking about this for months. We’re almost there. Well, I’ve got something new coming up for you people, but you have to get to 30 Patreon people. And we will start doing a review show. So everyone is gonna have at least three guys on it, different ages, different sexualities, different sizes, all getting the same underwear and discussing that underwear. So it’s a review show of, you know, it’s not just one person’s opinion, you’re gonna get at least three people’s opinion on this pair.

DownUnder Bri:
I love that so much. It sounds like a book club but for underwear.

UNB Tim:
It’s underwear and you will and Patreon members will get to help us choose what pairs we buy. And hopefully we’ll get our Australian going and we can do an Australian version and hopefully snack some free underwear. Um,

DownUnder Bri:
Bring it on.

UNB Tim:
but hopefully, but that’s my new thing. Uh, so we’ve been in the works for a little while. We haven’t, we’re trying to do a test show now and well. We thought we had a brand to do it and they sent us, I told them, send us exactly the same pairs. You’re sending us. And they did not. So yeah, so we’re trying to retool. We’re gonna figure out. But this is what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna have an underwear review show because I know you got boys love reviews. And if you hear three people talking about a pair, you’re gonna get a well-rounded opinion. So that’s our goal. That’s what we plan to do. But you got to get to 30 people on Patreon before we will do it because we’re probably going to have to buy a lot of the pairs of underwear. And as all you know, underwear is not cheap. Even if I own a store, it’s not cheap. But according to the US, I can’t be on the shows that if I supply the underwear. So, you know, it’s kind of a conflict of interest. So I can host it, but I can’t, you know, participate. But, you know. So, and Brian can come on, Brian can come on with us and do Australian or American brands. We may send our Aussie boys US brands. They may not have tried before because

DownUnder Bri:
That’d be

UNB Tim:
of

DownUnder Bri:
exciting.

UNB Tim:
the shipping and get their point of views on it. So there’s many things we can do with this, but all of you gotta step up people, join the Patreon and do it. So, yay. So,

DownUnder Bri:
Do

UNB Tim:
all

DownUnder Bri:
it.

UNB Tim:
right, do it. So that’s our thing. Enjoy people. We will have a new podcast soon. Sorry, there wasn’t one last week, but technical issues and then, you know, scheduling is hard. So you’ll just have to go every so often in weeks without a podcast, sorry, but not more than usually once. So yay. All right, everyone, have a great week and we’ll have a podcast soon for you. Bye.

DownUnder Bri:
Bye!

The podcast episode features a conversation between UNB Tim and the creators of the film “All Man,” Jesse Finley-Reed and Brian Darling. They discuss the significance of the international mail catalogs and their impact on the gay community and society at large. The filmmakers explore the themes of masculinity, self-expression, and non-conformity through the lens of the underwear industry. They touch on the cultural and historical context of the catalogs, including the AIDS crisis and the changing ideals of masculinity. The conversation delves into the allure of international mail, the experiences of the models and customers, and the continued relevance of underwear as a form of personal expression.

They mention the unexpected aspects of the film, such as delving into the behind-the-scenes stories and the catalog’s cultural impact. They express their pride in creating a film that goes beyond expectations and resonates with viewers. The conversation touches on the nostalgia and uniqueness of International Male in a pre-internet era. They also highlight the personal stories shared by audience members and the emotional connection people have with the catalog. Bryan and Jesse emphasize the significance of holding a physical catalog and the enduring appeal of print media. They invite listeners to watch the film and support it through ratings, and they express their preference for leaving viewers wanting more rather than being disappointed. The conversation concludes with gratitude and a recommendation for everyone to watch the film.

TRANSCRIPT

UNB Tim:
Hey everyone, welcome to another edition of the Reef Talk Podcast. We have two really cool people on today who have done something amazing. Uh, we have Jesse Finley-Reed and Brian Darling, who you may not know, did the all-man movie about international mail. Welcome guys.

Bryan:
Thank you.

Jesse:
Thank you. Thank

Bryan:
It’s

Jesse:
you

Bryan:
good

Jesse:
so

Bryan:
to

Jesse:
much

Bryan:
be

Jesse:
for

Bryan:
here.

Jesse:
having us.

Bryan:
We

UNB Tim:
It’s-

Bryan:
love talking about international mail and underwear.

UNB Tim:
Well, you’re on the right podcast.

Bryan:
Hahaha.

UNB Tim:
So we definitely, this is, we’re all about underwear. We talk everything underwear, masculinity, everything. You name it, we do it on this podcast. So

Jesse:
It’s Write Up

UNB Tim:
when

Jesse:
International

UNB Tim:
I saw the film,

Jesse:
Males, oh sorry, Write Up International Males Alley.

UNB Tim:
Exactly. And when I saw the movie coming out, I was like, I’ve got to get you on the podcast to talk. And I saw the movie this month and liked it a lot. And I was telling you before the show, I think you could have made an entire series about international mail. Cause there is so much to cover and so much to do about international mail, because it is so iconic that it left me wanting more when I’m the movie I’m like, I want to hear more of this and this and this and this and this, but

Bryan:
I know it goes by so quick in 80 minutes or 85 minutes. We, at one point we were, we talked about a series. I mean, there was all kinds of ideas

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
of stuff, you know?

UNB Tim:
It’s just crazy

Jesse:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
because it’s so iconic in the gay world and in the straight world as you pointed out That it was a time before the internet before Everything and you got the catalogs in the mail and you got to see all this really interesting stuff that you couldn’t get anywhere else and It was it was just amazing back in the day. So our listeners who were younger who never got to experience it. I’m sorry, but it was amazing.

Jesse:
Well yeah, and it’s what makes

UNB Tim:
So,

Jesse:
the pre-internet

UNB Tim:
so.

Jesse:
world… Oh, sorry. I think there might be a delay with me,

UNB Tim:
Oh,

Jesse:
I’m

UNB Tim:
go ahead.

Jesse:
sorry. Is there?

UNB Tim:
Oh, you’re fine.

Jesse:
Okay.

UNB Tim:
I don’t see one, but it probably is. But we’ll get around

Jesse:
I think

UNB Tim:
it.

Jesse:
that that’s what’s so amazing about it because I was one of the little boys who got it in the mail or teenage teenagers got it in the mail and it was this sort of window into this world that I didn’t really see in the world around me where men were living these sort of fantastic lives and wearing boundary pushing clothing and it It felt both provocative and safe at the same time to look which I think as

UNB Tim:
guess.

Jesse:
a young queer person was really important, especially at that time. It was the eighties and, you know, it was the AIDS crisis and Reaganism and all of that. And here was this thing where none of that seemed to matter.

UNB Tim:
Yeah, that’s so what made you guys tackle international mail? What made you want to take on this subject?

Bryan:
It was a really, it was just complete happenstance. Jesse and I were working on another project at the time dealing with growing up during the age of AIDS. And while we were working on that project, he came across some magazines and I’ll let him tell that story to you specifically. But basically, you know, he brought these catalogs, magazines catalogs, yeah, to to me to show me. And I was really shocked when I saw them, just in the sense that, wow, I’ve never seen anything like this before, you know, in fashion, like in the sense of what you could, what you had access to, what you could buy and how the images were put together and how editorial it was, yet it was a catalog. I was like, wow, what is this? How have I never seen this? And what’s, you know, what’s the story behind this? And initially, you know, we were going to do a short film about how it, you know, how the affinity that gay men had for it and, you know, used to jerk off to it and what it meant to them. And, you know, like a fun short film for us to do while we were working on this other film, this larger film. And it very quickly, I mean, really very quickly became apparent that there was a much larger story here and a much deeper. story to explore and uncover. But it all started when Jesse was at work one day.

Jesse:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
Nice.

Jesse:
and a colleague was moving on to another position and someone had jokingly given him these international mail catalogs and they were in his recycling bin. And I picked them up in his office and I held them close to my heart and I said, oh my god, these meant so much to me. It was funny

UNB Tim:
I’m sorry.

Jesse:
all these years later, seeing some of the issues that I recall receiving. and remembering the sequence of images, you know, again, this pre-internet world where you really held on to certain things that were valuable to you, where you could find, you know, not a word that I would use at the time, like representation that was somehow different

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
from what we saw everywhere else. And as Brian said, it was gonna be this funny little film until it became a story about so much more. And that really excited us both, because I think it’s great to take something often written off as like camp or saccharin or not so important and use it to really dive into some much deeper issues culturally. And I think that’s what works so beautifully about the film and its history. I mean, the catalog and its history, excuse me, is that

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
it… It overlaps with these trends, these movements, these cultural moments in our society, where we’re being pushed forward, being pulled back, it all depends, but it fits in very well.

UNB Tim:
Yes. Because the catalog itself was something amazing back in the day because coming out in the 80s, it was like, what is this? What? We have this? Oh my goodness. Where has this been? This is amazing. And I’ve told the story on the podcast many times. I had the international mail credit card back in the day

Jesse:
Thanks for watching.

UNB Tim:
with the $200 limit and

Bryan:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
just thought I was just on top of the world, it’s like, you know what I can buy for $200? Oh my God, goodness. When I was in college, so it was like, Oh my God. So yes,

Jesse:
Glamorous,

UNB Tim:
it was.

Jesse:
glamorous. See, we’re

UNB Tim:
It

Jesse:
living

UNB Tim:
was

Jesse:
an international life at your college.

UNB Tim:
exactly that $200

Bryan:
Hahaha

UNB Tim:
got me there. I was like, yes. Uh, so yeah.

Bryan:
When we found out about the credit card, I remember like, wow, what didn’t they have? It was

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
like, wow, very smart. I think at one point in time, we were told also they had like a magazine caddy that they

UNB Tim:
Oh,

Bryan:
had made

UNB Tim:
wow.

Bryan:
for it

Jesse:
Yes,

Bryan:
as well

Jesse:
I’ve actually

Bryan:
that

Jesse:
seen

Bryan:
you could

Jesse:
it.

Bryan:
put somewhere for your international mail.

UNB Tim:
Oh wow, wow.

Jesse:
Yes, it’s in

UNB Tim:
I

Jesse:
loose

UNB Tim:
remember

Jesse:
site.

UNB Tim:
I used to have him for…

Jesse:
It’s a clear loose site

Bryan:
Yeah.

Jesse:
catalog holder that I saw at Gloria Tomita’s house, actually.

Bryan:
I say you should put an eBay alert on that one for that. That’s a good collector’s item to have.

UNB Tim:
I was supposed to say that is something I did not even know they did. It’s just, oh my goodness, that’s crazy. But yeah, because people used to display them when you would meet people and go over to friends’ houses, they’d be on the coffee table as, look, I get international mail, I get under gear. Here it is. So

Jesse:
Well,

UNB Tim:
it

Jesse:
yeah.

UNB Tim:
wasn’t just something you just like. Oh, go

Jesse:
Oh,

UNB Tim:
ahead.

Jesse:
and it’s, no, I’m sorry. I think there’s a delay with me, but yeah, it’s something coded that you could have out on the copy table. You could have that and it would be an indication of perhaps your taste in clothing or perhaps your taste in more than clothing sort

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Jesse:
of on display.

UNB Tim:
Yes, very much so. It was just crazy. And one part I really liked about the movie was you had the phone salespeople because I tell people before you could either fill out the order form in it and mail it in or you could call an order and people are just blown away especially younger that you had to actually call someone and talk to someone. about this and to hear one of the people who did it, it was just so fun and so good to hear. Yes, I want the whatever jockstrap and this and da da. But yeah, I love that part because it brings back memories of me calling up so many times.

Bryan:
Did you have, do you remember any of your conversations with any of the phone salespeople?

UNB Tim:
Not a lot.

Bryan:
So you weren’t one of those flirty, flirty callers.

UNB Tim:
No, I was re I was 19 18 19 20. So I was just like, it was already calling up about all the fun stuff I wanted to order and it was just like, Oh my goodness. So it

Bryan:
Because

UNB Tim:
was

Bryan:
I asked to because not just for the flirty parts, that’s always fun, but something that didn’t make it in the film was Dion, the phone sales

UNB Tim:
I love you.

Bryan:
operator who’s in the film, when we did our interview, he brought with him some index cards to show us that he had kept that were customer cards. They would keep notes on their customers, like lives in Chicago, banker, traveled so and such, likes this item or that item. They would make notes about, so when they called, they could be reminded, refreshed and have conversations. They were always trying to have like sort of real conversations with people and of interest and talk about, things going on in life at the time. So I was just curious if you experienced any of that, just because it’s such a neat thing to see and I wish we could have gotten it in the film, but yeah, there was that. And then also people who bought from the store or bought from the catalog would also send in photos.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
This is something we weren’t able to put into the film and… They would send photos of themselves, like Polaroids or photo prints made of them in underwear with ideas of an underwear that they could

UNB Tim:
Oh,

Bryan:
come

UNB Tim:
man.

Bryan:
out with or how they would be a great model. Or certain phone operators also would have relationships with some of these guys as well.

UNB Tim:
Yeah, that’s one thing that really I was not expecting in the film since I came of age during that time as we were talking about the people who had the customers and they all started dying with the AIDS in the 80s. And I’m just like, Oh, I remember that so vividly growing up in that time and coming out that I’m like, yeah. And I think it shocked. I know some people who saw it and were like, what? I’m like, yeah, you don’t remember the AIDS crisis. And, you know, we didn’t have internet, so you wouldn’t find out. So and so passed away like. months beforehand and I was like yeah it struck gay businesses too so yeah

Bryan:
Definitely.

UNB Tim:
So that was good to see in there too. It was like, teaching people about history. I was like very happy. So what was one of you guys favorite things about making the movie that you either learned or happened or discovered about international male while you were making.

Jesse:
I think that the most shocking thing that I discovered, because I of course approach this as a gay kid who had gotten it, I think when we learned about the actual demographics of people who were buying the clothes, it was pretty surprising to me that, it totally makes sense in retrospect because the common thing that gay men say is like, oh, I never bought anything, but I kept getting it. you know, the fact that women, you know, desired these clothes for the men in their lives and sort of acted on that. And a lot of men desired those clothes to act on it. That was pretty surprising because here I had thought that this was a special thing just for me. Like this was like the

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
special catalog made for young gay boys like me. And I think the other thing that happened really early on, you know, when it became a much larger film, was feeling welcomed into this family of people who all

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
spoke about how much they cared about this job and family, you know, this chosen family, if you will, way before we had the phrase chosen family, and how much it sort of supported them and built them up. And Often people say it was like the best job they ever had. And that was for

UNB Tim:
Nice.

Jesse:
not just the models or not just the sales staff. It was sort of like everyone felt that way. So we felt, I felt very shepherded into this family by everyone.

UNB Tim:
Nice. Yeah, that came through on the screen that they felt like a family and they were very close to each other while working there and probably many of them kept in touch afterwards. But yeah, that came through in the film. So that was awesome.

Bryan:
Yeah, I think one of the interesting things for me during the process was talking to the models and kind of getting an understanding of like, why did they go into modeling?

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
And also, when did they become sort of aware of their bodies and worked on their bodies and why did they do that? And again, it was something that we couldn’t get all this into the film fully. Because initially when we were starting to make the film, we were really, we were really wanting to explore heavily, you know, masculinity. What is masculinity?

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
How do men find masculinity? You know, and how does sort of the definition and expression of masculinity change, you know, over, over time for, for these men? And And one of the interesting things was that a lot of the models were from small towns.

UNB Tim:
Thank you.

Bryan:
And their experience of becoming a model opened up their entire world perspective. They may have come from small towns that if you were gay, you were a fag, or it was

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
a very obviously negative thing that no one wanted to be. And And of course, then it was like also a sickness and all these various things. So what was interesting is by them becoming models and going into the modeling world and being exposed to so many different people, a lot of gay men are in the fashion industry and then also traveling the world. And it really opened up their minds and their perspectives and their realities as they were becoming, you know, were young adults in their early 20s. I thought that was really interesting to see and to hear. For them, modeling oftentimes was an escape, a way to escape the town and the life that they were having in their adolescence and young adult lives, a way to escape that and go on to something. they realized that the attention they got from

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
having a body, and seeing attention that, basically seeing attention that other men were receiving for having that muscle built body, which at the time in the 80s, in late 70s and 80s, this was like a new thing coming in. Prior to that, it was more about being skinny, but you just always had the body building. world, but it was more obscure, if that makes sense.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
So what’s interesting is when they noticed that there was a tension that could be gotten from having a body, they focused on developing their bodies in a way of becoming the muscular athletic way in which we see them in the catalog. And then also, That’s not to take away the fact that they weren’t athletes. A lot of these models coming in the 80s were actual athletes that were these

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
bodies because the modeling industry at the time, guys with muscles was not the look in fashion.

UNB Tim:
guest.

Bryan:
And it was very hard for, they were called body models who mostly did like sportswear and gym wear kind of things. So that all really changed in the mid 80s. And so I just found that aspect of it really interesting because in a certain way, making this film, whenever you’re a documentary filmmaker, hopefully, you’re learning as well. Like you’re uncovering something

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
about not only the topic, but something about yourself. And hopefully that’s also reflected in the film. And so for me, it’s like, yeah, what is masculinity? These days we talk about it being toxic, you know. but how do we get our masculinity? How do we define it? How does it change? And what are good role models of masculinity? And that was

UNB Tim:
Okay.

Bryan:
what I found really fascinating and interesting and kind of thinking also about myself and my own identity as that related.

UNB Tim:
Nice. Yeah, that’s the film carries over is the underwear industry as a total today because Like you were saying Jesse you were surprised that the makeup of the customers even today we have Straight guys who love underwear coming out more bisexual guys gay guys, so it’s not just Gay guys doing underwear and that’s one reason our podcast has done so well as we talk to all these different ones and then we talk about what is masculinity is like wearing a thong doesn’t make you any less masculine than not wearing one so it’s these conversations are still going on today that you discovered from the 80s and on so that’s kind of cool that they’re still in some ways cool but other ways just like you think we’d be past the masculinity thing but that’s always a thing

Jesse:
Well,

UNB Tim:
but yeah

Jesse:
I think the masculinity thing, I just wanted to say though, before I go into that, is that I think that underwear fits really well into this idea of safe expression because it’s something that you have

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
underneath your clothes, your outer clothes, so you can really be taking a risk with underwear. I think that’s why, you know, just… guessing because you know, of course data isn’t the same from back then as we have now But I think that’s what made

UNB Tim:
Yeah.

Jesse:
the underwear so popular was like, oh I can wear this like Fandoshi Japanese wrap under my three-piece suit and get away with it and

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
there’s something like a really erotic about that I think the film Really chronicles this sort of Masculinity that’s taking place And if you look at the very early catalogs from the 70s, you see, I’d say, a much less muscular, less athletic guy. And as the catalog evolved and they saw what sold, it was this really brilliant marketing strategy of taking these sort of

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
archetypes of masculinity, like the Brian Bazzini’s or David Knight’s, and putting them in this boundary pushing clothes. because it’s in a way made it safe for viewers. I could

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Jesse:
project my erotic desire on it. A young trendy guy wanting to look hip and cool could say I wanna dress like Don Johnson or their wife or partner, female partner could say, I want them to look like Fabio and here’s a catalog for it. I think where the film ends is something both Brian and I were really excited by about like sort of ending it in the TikTok world where everyone

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
can sort of represent themselves. And I think as far as we’ve come, I think the problem, or I think the complication of masculinity is we still eroticize as a culture, broadly speaking, a very specific kind of masculinity.

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Jesse:
And I think still, that men who choose, you know, there’s a lot of athletes at the very, very end of the film wearing this sort of outrageous clothes, but they sort of have this privileged body already. And what does it mean for us as a culture? And I think the beautiful thing about these various movements that we’re in or coming out of or dealing with, like the Women’s Movement, the Black Lives Matter, Trans Lives Matter, is like, it’s an opportunity to sort of be critical of masculinity. It’s also a question to Brian’s point of like, what does that masculinity look like now? Like,

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Jesse:
what, what is it? Because obviously capitalism responds to what people want. If no one desired these erotic action figure movies, they wouldn’t make them. But instead we desire those things, so we make more of them, and the actors that are hired for them have nutritionists and go to the gym seven days a week and, you know, sculpt this body. But yeah, that’s the complication of now that I throw it out to the world to try to help figure out, you know, what is non-toxic masculinity?

UNB Tim:
That’s a

Bryan:
Well,

UNB Tim:
good question.

Bryan:
the thing to add to this too is, you know, when you’re, as Jesse’s alluding to with like movies and such and these superhero movies and like Kumail Nanjiani is a great example of, you know, from nerd to superhero.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
And I think also would think to understand it’s a global situation. It’s not just in the United States. of media and representation are not meant just for the United States, right? So they’re a basic sort of appealing level or something that is now people around the globe are appealing. And you can see it in the expression that young people in different countries take on to have that very like strong athletic superhero look. But something to it that I think is important that doesn’t get talked as much about You know, we use words like with underwear, we use words like, you know, erotic to feel erotic or is

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
erotic. And, and what happens is we have this tendency to, to basically interchange sexuality with, with masculinity.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
Like they’re, they’re so intertwined in this way that I think oftentimes when people are talking about masculinity. in my opinion, oftentimes they’re talking about sexuality. They are connected, but we’re talking about male sexuality. Whenever you say male sexuality, most people think of sexual orientation.

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Bryan:
This is a problem because to me, and something I said while we were making this film is that this is a film that explores masculinity and male sexuality. Male sexuality has nothing to do with sexual orientation. It’s a similar thing to where in the transgender world, a lot of people in discussing these things are taking gender and sexuality and looking at that as the same kind of thing. And I think when we talk about masculinity, you know, with men, I think it’s important to frame it in that way and to frame it in sort of a different way, which is, you know, what we’re saying is, if you wear this underwear, and it is erotic or looks erotic, then that can’t be masculine. That’s

UNB Tim:
Yeah.

Bryan:
how I interpret that. And I find that so interesting because there’s also a lot of men who are like, screw that, they don’t have any problems with it. Straight men,

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
you know, totally, they’ve taken a page from gay men and have seen the kind of attention and that has brought and they want that too. And so they will express themselves in an erotic way. Because to me, men expressing their sexuality, their erotic, their eroticness, whatever you wanna call it, is just a form of expression and a powerful thing that to me doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with whether a person is masculine or not.

UNB Tim:
Yes. Because I think you pointed out so well in the film is guys who looked, you know, quote unquote masculine are wearing these clothes and being feeling sexual or being sexualized, basically, because our society goes, you can sexualize women all you want to, but you can’t sexualize a man. No,

Bryan:
Well, it’s

UNB Tim:
no,

Bryan:
because

UNB Tim:
no.

Bryan:
it’s men who are doing this

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Bryan:
and men who are looking at it.

UNB Tim:
Exactly.

Jesse:
Well, and it’s also a threat to masculinity itself, because masculinity only sort of survives by belittling or labeling other things other.

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Jesse:
I think that that’s how masculinity sort of maintains itself. It’s really fascinating. I don’t feel I can speak about it with any sort of confidence, but. There’s a whole section of academic research that uses this idea of it’s called the masculine box and about the sort of limitations and privileges that are carried with sort of masculine self-expression and how it sort of, anything that doesn’t sort of support masculinity is seen as other or weak or effeminate or any other

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Jesse:
whole host of other words. But it’s very limiting. at the same time. And I

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
think that international mail is playing with the bounds of this. I think we as a culture

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Jesse:
are playing with bounds of this. I think from RuPaul to academic Judith Butler, we’re really conscious that all these sort of accoutrements we wear, these clothes, it’s all a form of drag to borrow

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
of RuPaulism. which actually was coined by someone else, but I can’t cite that person, unfortunately.

UNB Tim:
Bye.

Jesse:
But this idea that we put on these clothes and we become something, we become Harrison Ford, we become Indiana Jones, we become Fabio. I mean, that’s so American, our imagination

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
of sort of projecting ourselves into these clothes and into these. sort of lifestyles. Like, it’s so wonderful when you look back at the 80s and you find an old nightclub footage and everyone’s

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Jesse:
sort of aspiring to be this dynasty-like character, so to speak, you know? And it’s about, it’s very American to me in a really wonderful way that we’re so informed by the world we see represented around us.

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Bryan:
I think the catalog, sorry, I just want to add one thing to this because it’s such an interesting conversation. I think when it comes to the catalog and what we’re really kind of talking about here, we’re talking about nonconformity, right? Because

UNB Tim:
in there.

Bryan:
if you think about it, when we’re talking about masculinity, I mean, masculinity technically can be kind of anything,

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Bryan:
but when we speak of it, we’re still using the way in which we assume is sort of this traditional. conservative standard type of masculinity that’s been around for a long time. But really what all this is, is about conformity. And in turn it’s like, okay, if you look this way, be this way, it’s all a way to conform and find an easy way to get through the society and to not stand out. And if anything, international male was really trying to push this idea that you don’t have to conform. That you… you don’t need to be like everybody else. And here’s a way that you can express yourselves in varying ways and to stand out. And I think that’s what makes it so awesome. I think that’s why it still stands the test of time. No matter what it is, we still, conformity probably will always be there in some fashion, but. I think that’s why it still lands today and people are amazed by it because it’s just so expressive and non-conformist.

UNB Tim:
Yes. And I think with underwear, like you said, that guys can wear whatever they want to under their suit. It gives them a little more expression of who they want to be. And they maybe cannot wear the clothes they want to wear, do things. They’re in a small town, but you could wear pink underwear. You could wear something crazy and no one knows. So it gives you a little bit of expression. And we’ve talked to many of our listeners and readers that it gives them a little bit more confidence wearing something like, you know, a pink jock under a blue power suit when they give a presentation. So I think that plays a part into why underwear is so important to people, gay, straight, bi, trans, whatever. It adds something to your personality that you sometimes can’t show in public. So I think that’s one of the… the biggest bonuses of international mail in general too.

Bryan:
probably why their underwear section was the largest and best selling

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Bryan:
section of the catalog.

UNB Tim:
That was my gateway drug into everything. Because it was like, oh my goodness. I must have everything. I want all this page. Yes. Every color.

Bryan:
Yeah, they have some amazing underwear. I have to say, like, it’s just like, wow, that’s, yeah.

UNB Tim:
I still have some that

Jesse:
Wow.

UNB Tim:
I can still wear. And I found one of the latest collect, well, one of the, right before they closed, probably in the early 2010s, some that are unopened. And I’m like, oh no, this is like a museum piece now. Cause I can’t

Bryan:
Hahaha!

UNB Tim:
get rid of

Jesse:
That’s great to know

UNB Tim:
this.

Jesse:
that you have these things because sometimes we get asked about doing an extension and I’m like, well, so much of it was spandex, so it didn’t really last. But,

UNB Tim:
Oh yes,

Jesse:
but, but

UNB Tim:
I

Jesse:
yeah,

UNB Tim:
have

Jesse:
that’s

UNB Tim:
to find them.

Jesse:
Those are collectible.

UNB Tim:
And I have an international… No, not international, undergear beach ball somewhere around here. So,

Bryan:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
yes.

Bryan:
we were able to handle the original Jock Sock.

UNB Tim:
Oh wow.

Bryan:
There’s one, Gloria has the original sample that was used. And it’s in extremely excellent condition, surprisingly enough. And it’s actually when you watch the film, there’s a section where they talk about the Jock Sock and show

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
it on this sort of mannequin model. That’s the actual real jock-sock we slipped onto a mannequin

Jesse:
Yeah, the prototype.

Bryan:
to do it. So there’s, it’s impossible to find. We’ve never seen one. I have, I have, uh, you know, eBay alerts,

UNB Tim:
I owned,

Bryan:
but

UNB Tim:
I’m gonna have to dig through my drawers, through everything, because I had several of them, and I’m gonna have to see if I can find one now.

Jesse:
That’s

UNB Tim:
I have

Jesse:
so

UNB Tim:
some stuff

Jesse:
good.

UNB Tim:
in storage that I didn’t wanna get rid of, because

Bryan:
Hehehe

UNB Tim:
as we get older, we grow horizontally in that dollar. And there’s just certain pairs that I didn’t wanna give away, and I knew that’s gonna be in something. So you’re gonna have me hitting on my… now to find the Jocsoc, because I had two or three of them. So

Bryan:
Okay.

UNB Tim:
if I find

Jesse:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
them, I will…

Jesse:
if you ever find yourself needing to get rid of them, feel free to mail them

Bryan:
Ah!

Jesse:
to me, and

UNB Tim:
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Jesse:
I will

Bryan:
Hehehehehehehehe

Jesse:
add them to my international mail archive of things.

UNB Tim:
It’s crazy. I do have one question for you if you found this out, because this has been just like gnawing at me since they closed. Do you know if they even created an archive of all the old catalogs? Anyone?

Jesse:
They did not, to our knowledge,

Bryan:
I mean, we

Jesse:
they

Bryan:
don’t

Jesse:
have,

Bryan:
know.

Jesse:
we don’t know, but

Bryan:
We, yeah, I mean.

UNB Tim:
Ah, because that’s.

Jesse:
The people who own it aren’t very forthcoming. However, I will say that archives have collected all the catalogs.

Bryan:
The one

Jesse:
The other

Bryan:
archive has a collection

UNB Tim:
Okay, good.

Jesse:
one archive in

Bryan:
in LA.

Jesse:
Los Angeles at USC

UNB Tim:
Awesome.

Jesse:
has one full collection. We have a lot of them now, not an exhaustive collection. There’s also… a website called Tim in Vermont, which was a really fantastic resource. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with it,

UNB Tim:
Uh-uh.

Jesse:
but he has cat

Bryan:
You

Jesse:
or

Bryan:
will be

Jesse:
they,

Bryan:
now.

Jesse:
they have catalog. I’m not sure what they, what, how big of an enterprise it is, but they have cataloged everything from international mail and under gear to physique pictorial to old, you know, of physique films. And they’re all low resolution scans, which is, you know, I wish they were higher res, but

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
that site ended up becoming so helpful for us in terms

Bryan:
we

Jesse:
of

Bryan:
were downloading the entire site.

Jesse:
Yeah, like

Bryan:
At

Jesse:
place.

Bryan:
a

UNB Tim:
Hahaha.

Bryan:
certain point, we had to call him because we were just literally downloading everything they had.

Jesse:
Yeah, I had a

UNB Tim:
That’s awesome.

Jesse:
really lovely conversation with him about it. I was like, I know you said the limit of the downloads, but, and I just told him the whole story and he was like, oh no, you can download it all, it’s fine. But,

UNB Tim:
Nice.

Jesse:
yeah.

UNB Tim:
Yeah, because that’s something I think should live on, because there’s so many people coming up now who don’t know about it or haven’t seen it, and they see snippets. So it would be cool if one of them did a higher resolution scan and put it online. But that’s just me

Bryan:
Yeah, I think

UNB Tim:
being

Bryan:
we,

UNB Tim:
nostalgic.

Bryan:
well, you know, archives, archives don’t have the resources. That’s the one

UNB Tim:
true.

Bryan:
thing. Cause we, we were trying to like, you know, we, we need to fill out some of our, our stuff with, with some others. And, uh, but you know, for them, it’s like, I forget how much, was it like a dollar a scan or was it more than that? Jess.

Jesse:
Oh no, yeah, it was much higher than that for,

Bryan:
Okay, yeah.

Jesse:
like a proper archivist to make a scan for.

Bryan:
Yeah, because they won’t let you do

UNB Tim:
Ugh.

Bryan:
it. It has to be their staff and it takes a long time. It takes time. It’s very

UNB Tim:
Yeah.

Bryan:
expensive. So it was better for us to just buy up as many of these catalogs as we could. And I was watching while we were making the movie, I was watching the prices of these things on eBay go up,

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
the early ones from the 70s or ones. And I was watching them disappear more. like over the

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Bryan:
course of a couple of years, there used to be quite a bit. And then by the end, it was like one here, one there instead of these collections. We got several of them, including the very first one. But

Jesse:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
that’s the hardest. Those were, and luckily they were in really good condition, the ones that we got. Other ones that we got were given to us on loan from staff, which One of the things that was wonderful about that is, you know, the catalogs are one thing, and those are in some ways much more accessible. The stuff that nobody had access to, and that’s more of an issue for preservation, is all of the actual assets, like the materials in which they used to make the catalog. So

UNB Tim:
Oh, yeah.

Bryan:
we were given like layout page, like they would make these layouts using Polaroids and sketches of like fake pages. to kind of decide their layout and how they would shoot the clothing and lay out the catalog. And then also a lot of the art directors kept their film from the shoots.

UNB Tim:
Oh wow.

Bryan:
So we had access to a lot of large medium, what are called medium format, chromes that were all original camera stuff that we scanned very high resolution. And there was much more stuff that we got. And I think a lot of snapshots, various things. And I think one thing going forward, I hope is that eventually we can make sure that these materials that all these people have will eventually go into an archive somewhere to preserve the history of the catalog

UNB Tim:
awesome.

Bryan:
in general. But those were the really fun things to get a look at, was this inside world. when we got a videotape of the commercials they made in the 90s.

UNB Tim:
Oh.

Bryan:
And it was like, wow, like this commercial never aired, but it’s

UNB Tim:
Uh

Bryan:
so

UNB Tim:
huh.

Bryan:
rad, you know? Or we saw the gay catalog they put out. They did two issues of an actual gay catalog that ended up being kind of a disaster for them because it was too ahead of its time. They didn’t know who was gay.

UNB Tim:
That’s

Bryan:
So

UNB Tim:
true.

Bryan:
they had to just guess. and sent

UNB Tim:
Oh

Bryan:
this

UNB Tim:
wow.

Bryan:
catalog out to people. And it would, you know, it’s going to addresses and people don’t know who they’re going to. And that really, they got a

UNB Tim:
Bye.

Bryan:
lot of like people calling like, how dare you send this to me or what are you doing? Or, you know, pure, yeah, so. But it was great because it literally would be like pride related things. And the, you know, it was the clothing and the language in the copy, everything was very out. and proud.

UNB Tim:
Well, yeah, that was definitely ahead of its time. That was, uh, wow. Wow.

Bryan:
Do you remember the

UNB Tim:
I

Bryan:
name

UNB Tim:
do

Bryan:
of

UNB Tim:
this.

Bryan:
that catalog, Jess?

Jesse:
It was called him.

UNB Tim:
I vaguely remember that. Vaguely

Jesse:
You might

UNB Tim:
remember.

Jesse:
have been a lucky few who got it.

Bryan:
I’m out.

UNB Tim:
I don’t think I got it, but I remember hearing about it.

Jesse:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
I

Jesse:
like

UNB Tim:
don’t remember.

Jesse:
it was funny. It was the opposite extreme. It’s like on the cover, there was like a pink triangle over the eye. You know, there was like rainbow flags. There was like, you know, for the catalog, which had always sort of skirted sexual

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Jesse:
orientation, it was full-throated, let’s just say. And seems appropriate. It was full-throated. And I mean, the clothes were like, it was like what you’re imagining, but taken to another extreme. But yeah, I think that was actually another really fucking fascinating thing that happened, which was like, you know, here’s all this talk, they’re labeled a gay catalog, they try to straighten it out, they try to do all these things, and then they make a gay catalog? like specifically a gay catalog, and it goes terribly.

UNB Tim:
Miracle-y.

Jesse:
It goes horribly. And it’s like, that’s the sort of irony of all of this.

Bryan:
Yeah, the catalog itself. So we discovered this catalog when we interviewed. Oh, my brain just went dead. Jess,

Jesse:
What, him?

Bryan:
is it Peter?

Jesse:
Oh, Peter. Peter

Bryan:
Peter,

Jesse:
Carroll.

Bryan:
what was Peter, Peter Carroll, thank you. Peter Carroll, who was creative director during his time, he was the one that created this magazine, this catalog. And when you look at it, I wish we could show it to you, but I don’t know, but its design was so good. And the images were amazing. They were so powerful and so strong. And the clothing these guys were wearing was like, wow. that is like someone ready to go to a pride party and like leather and straps. And I mean, it was just really impressive. It was so, so that 90s look and feel that, that just, I don’t know, I found it awesome. And it was very sad that it not, but it was, it was, they put a lot of work into it. It wasn’t just like, you know, a little catalog. They put a… lot of work and a lot of resources went into making.

UNB Tim:
nice yeah because they always did amazing stuff amazing catalogs so i figured that would be just as amazing but yeah so i have to ask that you’ve been showing up until recently the film at uh film festivals and around the country uh and it just came out on a video or download What has been some of the things you’ve been hearing from people after they see the movie? What are some of the more memorable things people have said to you guys after viewing it?

Jesse:
Well, I think that something that I’m really excited about and was exciting in making the film as we were sort of shepherding the story, was it becomes a film about a lot more than what people

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
are expecting it to be. And that makes me really happy. Everything is created in a context. And I think sort of… bringing your viewers along to sort of seeing how this is operating in the world and what they’re up against, et cetera. I think that it’s very humanizing. I think it’s what we’re attracted to generally speaking as human beings is like these stories. I think I was worried at times, I can remember thinking like, ah, will people be disappointed it’s not sexy enough or something.

Bryan:
Hehehe

Jesse:
But I think I’m really proud of it. I don’t think I’m answering your question very well.

UNB Tim:
It’s well, it’s there’s so much to cover in this topic that because when I when I saw it, I was expecting one thing I was expecting

Jesse:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
the sexy I was expecting, you know all that but when I watched it, I was like Oh You gave me something. I didn’t know I wanted basically Because you saw more the behind the scenes you saw more of the people who made it And it’s like a family So it was really cool And I’m like, okay, I did not know I needed this movie, but I’m glad I have this movie now. Cause when

Bryan:
Well,

UNB Tim:
I stopped

Bryan:
I don’t

UNB Tim:
watching

Bryan:
know, go ahead.

UNB Tim:
it, I was like, okay. That wasn’t what I expected. Let’s think. Cause it got me thinking and I’m like, oh, okay. And that’s when I’m like, I’ve got to watch it again and again and again. So,

Jesse:
I’m going to go to bed.

UNB Tim:
so yeah.

Bryan:
I mean, that was the hope. I mean, that was the whole point of what we were doing in that way. I mean, it was the same thing for us, you know? It starts out as one idea, one premise, which is this fun catalog that gay men connected

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
to and had an affinity for and loved the clothing and loved to jerk off to it. And then all of a sudden, wow, there’s so much more to it than just that and how it influenced and affected. and was influenced by what was happening in the culture at the time.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
Also the thing is, I think when, what’s been great about people watching the film, it is that, it is that, actually when you said, you know, you weren’t, you were like, oh wow, there’s all this stuff I didn’t expect. The staff were the same way, all the people who had worked for it, when they saw it. and they were also surprised. As a matter of fact, I remember several of them talking to each other about the interview experience and that it wasn’t what they were expecting at all. They were expecting that we would want to talk about, I don’t know, underwear, international mail and like gossip stories or just even didn’t know. And from the models to everybody was like, oh, they asked me all this. Like it just wasn’t what they were expecting. And I think that’s the whole point of it, right? Like for us, it was that same thing, this catalog that was written off, that was always trying to fight for legitimacy in the fashion space and as a brand. And it’s still the same thing, even within the people who bought from it, or at least had an affinity for it. I think that, and the other thing that’s just been great, is going to the various screenings over the last year. We released pretty much a year ago at

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
Tribeca and did film festivals up until a couple of months ago. And now with the theatrical release and the streaming releases, the thing that’s always great is hearing everyone’s story from the personal stories that people have as to what it meant to them and what role it played in their lives. because when you’re making these films, you’re not making them for yourself. Or

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Bryan:
you’re not making them for a committee of awards jurists. You’re making this for people to connect with and to take something from and to feel like something that they were thinking maybe gets expressed or explored in a way that they weren’t thinking. It becomes…

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Bryan:
something for them to have.

UNB Tim:
Yes.

Bryan:
And that’s been, that’s, I mean, that’s the best part. That’s the best thing you can hope for when you make a film in general.

UNB Tim:
Yes, it is. Because it kind of makes me sad there’s not an international male for the current generation. That this is just happened then and ended because the day when they close, I know they were closing, I swear I almost cried that day. I was like, no, no. So it’s, and explaining it to certain, some of the younger listeners and readers we have is kind of like, okay, this is no internet. This is… totally different and they just don’t get it. So, but it just makes me sad they don’t have something similar, but that’s

Jesse:
Well,

UNB Tim:
the world we live in with the internet.

Jesse:
and I think that connects back to something I said really early on, which is why it’s so special to us, because it was special. And

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
I mean, hopefully this film, to your point of feeling sad for them, I mean, I think that we as a culture always are moving hopefully forward. I know that’s debatable at times, depending on what state you live in.

UNB Tim:
True.

Jesse:
But this idea that there are whole, our world was a analog world. It was a, like things had an end. You could read the newspaper cover to cover and that was the newspaper for that day. And we now live in a world where information is just flowing by us, literally in the palm of our hands, second

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
after second and I think the way that young people see the world is a totally different way. I think that I’m psyched that I’m a Gen Xer because I get to have both. I get to have both the analog and digital world.

UNB Tim:
Exactly.

Jesse:
But I will say this, I was having a conversation recently with some people who came to a screening here in Los Angeles. And they were saying, you know, it’s something so special about holding the catalog in my hands and looking

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Jesse:
at it. And these were 20 somethings. And I was like, I was really like looking at it and there was nothing interrupting me, they were saying. And I was like, yeah,

UNB Tim:
Nice.

Jesse:
it was, it’s something really special. And they were saying, yeah, that’s why I buy magazines still, or it’s why I do this still is because, you know, the dominant force in our world is of course digital.

UNB Tim:
Yeah, very, that’s cool though, that they got the catalog. Awesome, awesome.

Jesse:
Yeah, I was really touched by them. One of them took it from their father. That’s

UNB Tim:
Oh wow.

Jesse:
where he’s like, my dad still has them. So I took one. It was hilarious.

UNB Tim:
Wow. I wish I still had mine, but oh well. But I guess we’ll wrap it up there. I could talk probably a couple hours with you guys if I keep going, but thank you. A, thank you for making the movie. It was well worth the wait when I got to see it. I was very happy. I know you guys are, it’s coming out on DVD soon as well. You can get it on many of the… digital services to buy. So you can go watch it now. You can watch it tonight after listening to this.

Bryan:
Yes, watch it and give it a four star or five star rating on Apple or wherever else that helps keep the movie up there and people seeing it.

UNB Tim:
I’ve gotta do that, I haven’t done that. Thank you for reminding me about that. I’m gonna go do that, because I bought it on Apple. Yay.

Bryan:
Oh yeah, all those ratings really do affect visibility for sure.

UNB Tim:
So thank you both for coming on the podcast today. It was a pleasure and so much fun. Everyone go watch the movie, I highly recommend it. Everyone in this podcast who listens, you’re in the demographic to watch this. So we have no excuses for why you cannot watch this. So go watch

Jesse:
Mm-hmm.

UNB Tim:
it,

Bryan:
Hehehe…

UNB Tim:
people. You will not be disappointed, but you will probably be like me, wanting more and more and more after you watch the movie, because there’s so much. you wish they went into but you know there’s only so much time you can put into a movie so it’s still amazing even without the things I wish to win in there but I guess it’s a good thing wanting more when you leave

Bryan:
I was always going to say I’d rather want more than be like, oh, when is

UNB Tim:
Oh,

Bryan:
this

UNB Tim:
that’s

Bryan:
ending?

UNB Tim:
it? Or that was

Bryan:
Yes.

UNB Tim:
it? That’s

Bryan:
Yes,

UNB Tim:
all they did?

Bryan:
totally. Yes.

UNB Tim:
Awesome. But yeah, go watch people. You will not be disappointed. So thank you everyone. We’ll have another podcast soon. Bye everyone.

Jesse:
Thank

Bryan:
Bye.

Jesse:
you.

]]> UNB Blog full false 53:45 Brief Talk Podcast – Brief Chat with Andrew Christian http://underwearnewsbriefs.com/2023/07/brief-talk-podcast-brief-chat-with-andrew-christian/ Thu, 13 Jul 2023 18:00:00 +0000 http://underwearnewsbriefs.com/?p=104821&preview=true&preview_id=104821

Andrew talks about his latest creation: Thick underwear designed specifically for bigger guys. He proudly emphasizes that his line stands apart from others in the market. We then talk about the newest line, Tuck underwear for those who desire it. Andrew shares how his drag queen friends approached him to develop underwear tailored to their needs, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Curious about what is popular this summer, I inquire about his newest swimwear offerings. Andrew reveals that swimwear adorned with hardware has been a major trend this year. Lastly, he tantalizingly hints at forthcoming surprises later in the year. Additionally, he kindly reminds us to stay actively involved in Pride celebrations and our LGBTQ communities, underlining the importance of voting.

UNB Tim:
Hey everyone, welcome to another edition of the Brief Talk Podcast. We have a brief tell from someone who I’ve been chatting with for a while and we got him on. And he has his own YouTube channel. We want to welcome Eric to the show. Welcome!

Eric:
Yeah, yeah. Thank you so much for having me.

UNB Tim:
Thank you for coming on. You may know his channel on YouTube or also on Instagram, because he’s on the Instagram, at men’sunderwearguy.com, and his blog. I forgot about the blog. So, welcome to the show, another blogger and underwear content creator. Yay!

Eric:
Yeah, no, I’m super excited to be on. So I love the podcast, love your thing. So.

UNB Tim:
It’s good to have you on. I like having other content creators on who do something different and fun. And I was telling Andrew the other day, whose podcast will come out right before this one, that it’s good to have different points of view, different things out there. There’s so much room for everyone to share their love that it’s… We should all be collaborative and share everyone and promote everyone. but that’s

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
just

Eric:
I completely

UNB Tim:
my

Eric:
agree.

UNB Tim:
opinion.

Eric:
Yeah, no, 100%.

UNB Tim:
Cause I know our guys are amazing and fun and the best people around. I’m just saying.

Eric:
Yeah, I

UNB Tim:
So

Eric:
agree.

UNB Tim:
first off, tell our listeners, if they’re not familiar with your blog, YouTube channel and such, tell them a little bit about you.

Eric:
Yeah, so my name is Eric. I run the blog men’s underwear guide.com. And I also have my YouTube channel now, basically at men’s underwear guide. And then I also have my Instagram also at men’s underwear guide. So very easy to find me. But yeah, I

UNB Tim:
Just keep on going, that’s what editing is for.

Eric:
Yeah. Sorry, can you re-ask the question? I think

UNB Tim:
Sure.

Eric:
I got a little afraid. Oh.

UNB Tim:
Just take a breath, relax. You’re just talking to me just like we did before and it’s awesome.

Eric:
Okay, yeah, let’s go. I think it was just the first question, jitters.

UNB Tim:
So we’ll get out of the way, so we’ll start over. So for those of you not familiar with your blog or YouTube channel, tell our listeners a little bit about you.

Eric:
Yeah, so I’m Eric. I run the blog men’s underwear guide.com. I’m also on YouTube and Instagram at men’s underwear guide. So very easy to find me. Otherwise, you know, I for fun, I love to travel, love aviation, huge like airplane geek. I have a day job. So this isn’t my full time thing. And yeah, I mean, I really love talking about underwear.

UNB Tim:
I have to ask, since you said you were an aviation geek, what’s your favorite airplane?

Eric:
Oh, that’s a great question. So I would say for a long time, it’s actually the 767, which is kind

UNB Tim:
Okay.

Eric:
of weird. No one really talks about it. But I think visually, the 767 just looks really nice. Other than that, I’d probably say my favorite plane to be on was the A380. I’d been on it twice on the upper deck with British Airways. And I just had a really fun time, especially because The way that they had their seat configuration is that in the way back of the upper deck, there’s a small economy section and it’s like a two, I think it’s like a two five two layout. So my husband and I were able to get the two seats by the window and it was just like, wow, this is super cool. Also,

UNB Tim:
Nice.

Eric:
it’s kind of weird. Like when you’re on the runway and like taxing, like you can feel that you’re higher than when you’re in other planes, which is a little scary, but also really cool. So. But yeah, I’d say definitely 767 is my favorite plane to look at, maybe followed

UNB Tim:
Nice.

Eric:
by the A330.

UNB Tim:
See, my plane that I’m obsessed with is the Concorde,

Eric:
Oh, yeah.

UNB Tim:
even though it’s not around any longer, but that’s my favorite. Never flew it, but you know, love it. And always reading up on new supersonic

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
planes that are supposedly coming out and I’m not holding my breath anytime soon, but enough of the geek. I’ll have to send you the picture I’m drawing of the… previous Atlanta Hartsfield terminal.

Eric:
Oh wow, yeah.

UNB Tim:
The old one that I’ve been working on for about two weeks now.

Eric:
Oh yeah, definitely,

UNB Tim:
I’ll

Eric:
Sundar.

UNB Tim:
share that afterwards, but enough people going, oh, this is underwear, not aviation.

Eric:
I’m going to go.

UNB Tim:
Sorry people, you’ll just have to deal with it. It’s my podcast, so I’m gonna ask some questions. So yes, I’m a little bit of an aviation geek myself.

Eric:
Well, we need to talk more about that then, so

UNB Tim:
So

Eric:
offline.

UNB Tim:
we’ll talk offline because I know you people are like, get to the underwear, shut up about the planes, we don’t care. Unless you’re talking about flying in your underwear, which would be interesting, but

Eric:
Well,

UNB Tim:
yeah.

Eric:
actually, it’s interesting you bring that up because I do have like different underwear that I think is better for flying. I actually kind of plan these things out. And for me, like I get really cold on planes, especially for sitting by the window. And I usually like to sit by the window if not the aisle.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
So like for me, I try to either wear boxer briefs or long leg boxer briefs to just try to provide warmth. You know, so.

UNB Tim:
Interesting.

Eric:
Yeah, so I actually do plan those things out.

UNB Tim:
I just wear whatever. I sit by the window. I’m a window person so I have to sit by the window and I get rowdy when I’m not by the window. So

Eric:
Oh,

UNB Tim:
it’s

Eric:
no.

UNB Tim:
like because I had a flowy business trip once and it was They put me they put me in an aisle and I’m just like y’all want to die

Eric:
I’m out.

UNB Tim:
I’m just saying y’all just want to die So yeah, I’m a window person 100% but yeah, but back to our underwear questions

Eric:
Yes.

UNB Tim:
So when did you first discover your love of underwear? Because you had to have a moment where you’re like, hmm,

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
what is that?

Eric:
so I’m one of the people that are going to say puberty, you know, and I think, yeah, I mean, I hit puberty kind of early, actually. You know, I actually had facial hair in elementary school, which

UNB Tim:
Wow.

Eric:
is, yeah, and I got made fun of quite a bit for it, though, so that was unfortunate. I actually, I mean, honestly, like, I got made fun of a lot throughout school, but… You know, really during puberty, I just started noticing, you know, waistbands basically, right?

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
And, you know, I didn’t really realize at the time, of course, you know, what was going on. It was just kind of something that I was like, wow, this is interesting. But I didn’t really understand it. And, you know, of course, like a lot of other guys listening on your podcast, you know, there’s always the… under our section at department stores, there were the weekly ads. I think one of your guests recently was talking about this, looking through the coupons and the ads that came out in the newspaper.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
I was one of those people on Sunday that tried to really secretly, discreetly look through that, see what was being advertised, see what was on sale. That… That’s really when it really was something I noticed. But again, I never understood what was truly going on, right? And I didn’t actually come out, so I’m gay, in case anyone wasn’t sure. I didn’t really come out until college. And that’s when I think maybe, I’d say like phase two of my underwear interest really took off. Whereas before it was… of this thing that like I was aware about I found interesting but I didn’t acknowledge it I didn’t recognize it once I came out and especially once I met my husband like it changed into this thing like wow yeah you know what I’m really going to embrace it I’m going to you know buy my own about the different styles, the different underwear that I wear. Whereas before, you know, I was the guy I basically wore boxers throughout middle school, high school, even college. They were like Hanes boxers, you know. Iris is that kind of guy.

UNB Tim:
Oh

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
no. You…

Eric:
That was me.

UNB Tim:
you had to be saved.

Eric:
Yes, I understand, you know, I, and I look back on that. I’m like, what was I doing? But you know, at the, again, at the time, I just didn’t have, it’s basically a situation like you don’t know what you don’t know, right?

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
And I just wasn’t aware, I wasn’t exposed, you know, even in like high school, for example, there wasn’t really anyone who was out, you know, there are a couple

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
questions about or thoughts about, but of course they were always made fun of, right? So that was my, you know, basically my perspective on gay guys, right? And of course I was straight, 100%, right?

UNB Tim:
Oh yeah, we were all straight back then.

Eric:
Yeah, yeah, so I was 100% straight, you know, and like the whole thing was just so foreign to me and yeah, so it was completely different, you know, really coming out in college, I think completely changed. Obviously me as a person, but it definitely changed my look and feelings towards men’s

UNB Tim:
nice. Did you remember the first good pair of underwear you bought?

Eric:
Yes, I do. Maybe my husband even remembers it, but you know, it was shortly after I met my husband, actually, and we’ve been together 12 years, I think now, 12, yeah,

UNB Tim:
some.

Eric:
our anniversary of the last month, but I don’t know the day, we just say it’s our anniversary month, but anyway.

UNB Tim:
Hmm.

Eric:
So shortly after I met him, and I bought these Calvin Klein boxer boots because I really wanted to impress him. Like again, my under collection at the time was basically Kane’s boxers, okay? It wasn’t anything to look at. And I just wanted to buy something really nice, right? That I could feel good in, look good in, impress him, he would enjoy. And at the time, you know, what else would I have chosen other than Calvin Klein, right? So I bought these Calvin Klein And I remember getting them and putting them on. And I’m like, wow, like this is real underwear.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
This is like a whole other level. And my husband at the time, he was like, yeah, you know what, you should definitely buy more microfiber Calvin Klein boxer briefs. So that’s what I did. Like I just started buying them. Buy them from Amazon, we bought them in the store. And I was getting like quite a good collection of just these microfiber Calvin Klein’s. And it was great. And like, it just completely transformed, again, the way I looked at under because I’m like, wow, you know, yeah, it’s, it’s more pricey. It’s more expensive, but this is, this is really comfortable. Like

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
this is, he enjoys it. And like, I feel really good in it. So it’s 100% worth it. So yeah, so that was really like my first time. I’m like, yeah, you know what? I truly bought under with intention and not just like pulling things off the shelf because I need it, right? And I felt really good about it.

UNB Tim:
Awesome. And then you got these great microfiber boxer briefs. And how did your love grow from there? Did you branch out into other styles? Did you try new things? How did your journey progress from those?

Eric:
So it went in a couple of different ways. So, you know, we’re still again talking like maybe five to 10 years ago, right? And I was a hundred percent a boxer briefs guy, okay? I may have bought new under a new brand as new styles, whatever, but it was always boxer briefs. Nothing else, no chunks, no reason or nothing. And you know, with that, I did, I really, I actually just bought more Calvin Klein to be honest. I did branch into new fabrics. So the first thing I did after like the, my microfiber collection or phase, if you will, is I branch out into modal or modal. I don’t even

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
know how you pronounce it. Like people pronounce it in different ways. Yeah.

UNB Tim:
Either way.

Eric:
So again, it was these Calvin Klein modal box braids. And I was like really impressed because, you know, one of the things that changed from like going from like Hanes to Calvin Klein was going essentially from these like 100% cotton, 100% polyester brand, like pairs, into something that felt really nice. And I didn’t know about mobile, but I was like, what is it, like cotton or something? But it wasn’t. And

UNB Tim:
Mm-mm.

Eric:
through this day, I still have a lot of Calvin Klein mobile box of reeds, and I am a huge fan of mobile. I mean, if any of my viewers or people listening, they know I… wants to me say how good bamboo and modal are because I just feel it’s so much softer than cotton. So

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
that’s pretty much it. I also had these like pair of poppy boxabers from my husband which were really cool. I like those. But it wasn’t really anything too wild per se, right? I think a shift came later on. We took a trip to Portugal, Portugal and Spain. This was back in, I think 2018 or 2019. It was right before COVID hit. And we took a trip to Portugal and Spain. And I got to see the first Intimissimi store

UNB Tim:
Oh yes.

Eric:
in Europe. And we went in and I was kind of surprised. I’m like, wow, like this is a store. Yeah, it has women’s underwear, of course, but this store also had. underwear and it was European and it was to me exotic and it was it was different right

UNB Tim:
It’s

Eric:
so

UNB Tim:
amazing.

Eric:
yeah no I love Intimissime so I bought these two so they call them trunks or boxes and depending on which language you know you’re looking at their website but they’re essentially square cut trunks and So I bought them, it was these two pairs. One was dark blue with a light blue stitching. And another one was dark gray with like this olive green stitching. And I bought them because one, I really wanted to buy this European underwear, right?

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
And two, I bought them because I have a thing for contrast, like just in life. I really like contrasting colors. So what really stood out to me with these two pairs of trunks, was the contrast between like the fabric itself and the stitching. And I just thought it was the coolest thing. So I bought those two. And then I also bought this pair of microfiber chunks in solid green. And I remember getting them and it was just a different experience, right? Like, again, it just felt exotic. It felt different. And it was really short, exceptionally short. And I remember looking at the guys on the website, I’m like, oh, that’s not so bad. It’s shorter, but it’s okay. It’s European, of course. But then I got them, I’m like, wow, this is short. And it was so short that in fact, at the time, I was almost embarrassed to wear them because I’m like, this is just so revealing. So,

UNB Tim:
See, that’s

Eric:
y’all go.

UNB Tim:
funny because you getting trunks are revealing when we have so many guys wearing so much less. That’s funny. That

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
is funny.

Eric:
yeah, no, a hundred percent. And at the time, you know, looking back on it, it was like, wow, like this is like nothing now, right? Because now I wear all sorts of styles. So it’s completely even now. But at the time, this was just so new to me, you know? And really opening up my mind from like the standard US style box of roots, right?

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
So, you know, I slowly got used to them. It was a slow process, but eventually I got more comfortable you know, I really liked the microfiber trunks that I got from Intimissime, not so much the two, the blue and the gray ones with the different colored stitching, because I made a flaw in purchasing it. And

UNB Tim:
Uh oh.

Eric:
that flaw was that the two trunks with the different colored stitching were cotton based.

UNB Tim:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Eric:
And, you know, remember, you know, from the past few years, all I wore was basically like microfiber So going back to cotton, it hit me. I’m like, whoa, like I can’t wear this.

UNB Tim:
They’re like, I’m wearing a diaper.

Eric:
Yeah, it’s thick, it’s hot. I’m like, not like hot in a good way, just like hot. And I’m like, yeah, no, but the microfiber ones I got were really cool. So, you know, I still wear the microfiber Intimissime’s, you know, every now and then, the ones with the cotton ones with the stitching. I still have them, but I probably haven’t worn them in many months. So, that was that. So then, I didn’t start branching out into other brands. I remember Mack Weldon was

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
my next brand that I branched into. So I bought a pair. I think my first Mack Weldon pair was right before COVID as well along the, I think it was along the same time as the Intimidcine ones, or right after we got back. But then I bought some more like after COVID and stuff like that. So I really enjoy Mack Weldon. I have quite a few pairs in my collection. But I would say the third phase of my underwear experience, if you will, was really starting the blog in 2021.

UNB Tim:
So what made you start an underwear blog? As someone who started one himself, I’m always curious as to, you know, why did you start a blog? What was your purpose at the time? And then how has it evolved over time? Because speaking for myself, if you look back at my blog from whenever I started to now, you see several iterations of content, you know, burnout, you know, all the fun things you go through with a blog. So what made you want to put a blog out there?

Eric:
Yeah, I mean, I could talk all day about the blog and business, you know, because I mean, you know, there’s like, it’s just like, when you’re writing a blog, and you’re a content creator, everyone looks at the content you put out, but there’s like real business decisions that happen behind

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
the scenes, you know, and I think a lot of that is just never talked about. But anyway, going back to your question. So, you know, I suffer from anxiety and depression. I’ve had it pretty much all my life.

UNB Tim:
Yay, let’s unite.

Eric:
Yeah, I mean, I can even going back to, middle school and high school, even though I wasn’t diagnosed, obviously I can look back and be like, yeah, I had depression. So, it’s been kind of a struggle. My most recent depression episodes started in about 2017, 2018. Before that, I had actually come off medication 2013 or something like that. So I had like a good four year gap in between episodes. So for me, it’s more of an episodic kind of depression, whereas it’s just like, not just like a flat linear kind of thing. But anyway, my most recent depression episode started in 2017, 2018. I’d gone through meds, I’d gone through therapy, I did CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy. which helped a bit, you know, I still kind of use that today, but it was still there. And after COVID, you know, my husband and I removed from Los Angeles, you know, where we lived, to Texas, and

UNB Tim:
Oh, sorry. Sorry involuntary response.

Eric:
yeah, we can talk about that at a later time too. But we moved to Texas, and for a little bit, it was fun and exciting. It was really good. We moved to Austin like everyone else was at the time. But then of course it just, it kind of went back to depression and anxiety. So, you know, I’d still been seeing a therapist at the time. And one of the things that the therapist, he had started talking to me, he’s like, you know, you should really find some sort of creative outlet outside of work. And, you know, I worked a nine to six basically. I know my people say nine to five. Most people work nine to six nowadays.

UNB Tim:
under

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
6 because they don’t give you free lunch. Huh?

Eric:
so let’s just call it what I get, it’s nine to six, eight to six even, whatever. But I was working in day job and he was saying like, you need some sort of creative element, you need something else to express your creativity. And one of the things that I actually liked doing was writing. So even at work, when I was asked to like write things or write documents, even like legal, type documents. Like I actually found it fun. So,

UNB Tim:
Oh,

Eric:
I’m

UNB Tim:
we

Eric:
weird.

UNB Tim:
are so different.

Eric:
Yeah, so we were similar a few minutes ago, now we’re really different.

UNB Tim:
See, well, I am dyslexic.

Eric:
Oh, yeah.

UNB Tim:
So writing is one of the things is the most stress inducing thing I can do at work.

Eric:
Uh, gotcha. There we go.

UNB Tim:
It

Eric:
I can see that.

UNB Tim:
is just, I can do it, but it takes work. And I will say chat GPT has been a godsend because,

Eric:
Oh, yeah.

UNB Tim:
because I can write some crap. I mean total crap and tell it, Hey, expand on this a little bit. And granted, it doesn’t always give me what I want, but it gives me ideas that I can go off of. And I’m like, oh, yes, I like this. Okay, I can go with this. Or I’ll expand on this. Or I don’t like where you’re going, but I see and I can do this. So that… takes the anxiety away because when they’re like here right and I’m like bitch no I’m no uh-uh so and I’ve had arguments and issues that work about it because they don’t understand and I’m just like okay the more you stress me out the worse this gets just so you know

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
so and it’s ironic that I’ve run a blog since 2008 so yeah

Eric:
Well, yeah, I mean, I think Chalk GPT is definitely going to take over the world or like these AI kind of things that are coming out about it.

UNB Tim:
I want to use it all the time, but I don’t just like drag and drop. I have to change things. I told people

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
that

Eric:
no, 100%.

UNB Tim:
I’m like, I’m like, if you just drag and drop, you’re stupid, but you

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
got to

Eric:
no,

UNB Tim:
make it your own.

Eric:
but I’m really glad it’s helping you. Like I think that’s amazing and really shows how technology can, can really make an impact on everyday lives. So that’s great for you. Um, but

UNB Tim:
So

Eric:
anyway,

UNB Tim:
you

Eric:
going

UNB Tim:
need

Eric:
back.

UNB Tim:
to create a ballot and you would like to write.

Eric:
Yes, I like to write. So he told me to start a blog. And so, you know, one of the things I really liked is data and charts. So I wrote my first blog about charts. And

UNB Tim:
Ah.

Eric:
I, I basically I became bored myself after like six posts. Like, this wasn’t going anywhere. I bored myself, which is really hard to do, by the way, but I did. So like, this isn’t working. So I gave up and I went back down and he’s like, well, you gotta find something else. I’m like, I don’t know what else to talk about. Like that was my thing. He’s like, well, you gotta find something else to talk about. So I was thinking about it and like, you know, maybe about underwear, it’s kind of weird. So I remember I talked to my husband about it and we had like a real conversation. And you know, my husband had, for since we had met, had always wanted to kind of… like an underwear website. So like, as soon as I talked to him, I mean, he’s like, yeah, like you should go for it. Like completely supportive. And that’s basically when it started. So I went back to my therapist and it was so awkward telling him. Like I was so nervous telling him, like this is what I came up with. But he took it with ease and he was like, okay, great. You know, you should do that. And he’s like, what is it going to be called? I’m like, well, it’s men’sunderwearguy.com. And you know what he told me? He was like, you know, I thought all of the best website names had already been taken. And he’s like, you found a really good one. I’m like, oh, thank you. So I, so yeah, basically, hold on.

UNB Tim:
True, because when I came up with mine, I had to go through so many and that was in 2008. So, yeah.

Eric:
Yeah, I mean, I was shocked too, but I’m like, wow, this is great. So that’s basically when the blog started. So that’s how it developed. It came out of this need for me to basically have a creative outlet, something other than work that I could express myself and, you know, try to help my anxiety and depression by doing it. And, you know, I launched a website in April, 2021 with three articles. three posts that I wrote.

UNB Tim:
Nay.

Eric:
So it was just very bare bones at the time and you know now more than two years later you know I can’t believe how much it’s taken off and how much of a thing it’s become. Like I could never have imagined that I would actually be talking about men’s underwear to the public. Like like having conversations with other guys out there and expressing myself online. Like I’m an introvert, which is really

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
hard. And to then basically show myself on YouTube, you know, talking about underwear, like in my underwear, with my face, like I could never have imagined this. And yet I’m doing it and I’m having fun and people are responding very positively to it. Yeah.

UNB Tim:
And they’re coming to you because they see you as the expert Asking you for your opinion reading what you’re writing commenting You know, I still to this day Look at my blog like it’s a hobby Because I don’t think anyone is reading it, but I have tons of people reading it

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
even

Eric:
you do.

UNB Tim:
to this day and when I talk to people and they bring up something and I’m like, oh, oh yeah, okay, you actually read the blog, oh. So I still feel like I’m talking to myself, but.

Eric:
But isn’t that a cool feeling when someone actually tells you, hey, I read this, or hey, I know of you, I have a question? Doesn’t it give you that sense of either pride or happiness or something that people actually care and care about what you’re saying?

UNB Tim:
Yes, and mine has gone through iterations. Every time I turn around, I look through the blog and there’s eras of the blog that I look through. Because there’s the beginning, because mine started with similar to yours. It was in 2008 when the downturn happened and the economy sucked and I had no job and I needed something to channel all my energy into to Quit worrying about work and money. So I started the blog. And did it the way I wanted to do it and had fun doing it, it grew. People came on, helped off and on to have different things where I had different guys writing and the last probably five years has been pretty much all me. And then we grow into, I started the podcast back in 2009, but it never went anywhere back then. I guess we were too early because

Eric:
Yeah, you’re ahead of your time.

UNB Tim:
we had our time, we went through 2012 randomly, we never had a set schedule either so that didn’t help. And we wrote it back in 2018 and it’s grown into what it’s grown into and we keep growing which is amazing to me

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
because a ton

Eric:
awesome.

UNB Tim:
of people do that. And then the blog no longer really took my creative side. and my anxiety away. It caused anxiety. So I’ve redone the blog from what I used to do. I blog on my own terms, but I do what’s good for me. And then that’s when my drawing came into effect during COVID.

Eric:
Ah, gotcha.

UNB Tim:
So I’ve always been creative and then all of a sudden I’m like, I’m going to draw. And therefore, you know… I draw men in underwear and swimwear and, you know, various states of undress. It makes me happy. So that’s what I do.

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
So

Eric:
no, that’s

UNB Tim:
yeah.

Eric:
great. So now like you basically, your creative outlets are the podcast interviewing and drawing art.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
Yeah, no, that’s awesome.

UNB Tim:
Well, the industry has also changed quite a bit from when I started. It’s, it’s gone from, because when I started, there were like maybe four big blogs at the time. And then two of them sort of quit shortly thereafter I started. So I sort of filled the gap and became one of the big ones, which still amazes me to this day.

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
Um. And you always run across people like, oh, you have a triple lock for years. And I’m like, what? So it’s its own world and then now we have Instagram, we have social media, we have the influencer, because I was just telling this the other day to a friend of mine, I was like, when I first started the blog, I got tons of free underwear. I mean, thousands and thousands of dollars worth of underwear over the years. And now that it’s the influencer, I don’t get nearly, I rarely get underwear. A lot of them don’t even send it out anymore. So I’m like, ugh. I was like my one perk for doing it. That’s the main reason I started it so I could still get good underwear because I thought I was gonna only be unemployed for no more than six months and then I would quit the blog. Well, now we see this is my 15th year in October.

Eric:
Yeah, I mean, that’s amazing. Congratulations.

UNB Tim:
So yeah, it’s evolved and changed and it will continue to evolve and change and because I’ve suffered through multiple depths of burnout and multiple creative changes and people and it’s just you have to evolve and change as you go or you’re just gonna be like forget it I So that’s

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
what I’ve done. Because I used to do three posts a day and four posts a day. And well, when you have like six people helping you, easy to do.

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
But then when you go down back to just you doing it, I went from going from three posts a day to some days one post a day. And I was like, you know, I was stuck in that. Mentality will have to do three day. I have to do three a day and then what I was writing was total crap and I said well, you know Let’s go down to two and then one day I was like, let’s only do one today that’s all I care to do today and So therefore I do that now on certain days. I don’t feel like writing and it’ll be one post today and that’s it So that’s what I do now and it’s a lot of fun to me. And I’m just like, I like doing it. There’s creative side that now gets channeled into the podcast. And I think it resonates more with people when they get to hear something as opposed to reading it.

Eric:
Yeah, that’s actually an interesting point because that’s kind of what drove me to actually start the YouTube channel Because I had never intended to do a YouTube um I actually never even intended to show my face it was like obviously like The blog is written in my own voice, right? It’s very clear That i’m talking as a real person But I never intended to show my face. It took me a while to even post photos on the blog of me and my underwear, because I was just so embarrassed by it. But, you know, I think the difference between reading the blog itself and like the YouTube channel or like your podcast is the personal connection that people are able to get from seeing someone hearing their voice, you know, kind of like listening to them in real time, that you can’t get. from just essentially the written word on a blog.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
And I think that, you know, the YouTube channel, for example, like I can’t believe how much it’s taken off, but you know, almost all of like the questions I get, the commentary I get is through the YouTube channel or, you know, through Instagram. It’s not through the blog. Occasionally people email me. um from the blog which is great I appreciate it but really I’d say 80 to 90 percent of my conversations my interactions with people occur through Instagram whether that’s commenting or dms or through YouTube comments and

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
like it’s just made it so much more fun to do it rather than kind of like this one way flow of information is one way floor flow of communication which is I write the blog and people read it, right? So I think that that’s really just made me so much more happier about doing it.

UNB Tim:
Exactly. And that’s like when we first talked and I was running, I got some health issues. So I sort of fell back and then I’m like, oh my God, where did we talk? Oh my God, where was it? Was it on Twitter? Was it on here? I remember talking, I can’t find you. And I had to scroll through my DMs on Instagram. And I was like, oh my God, that was way back there. I was like, Jesus, I talk a lot on Instagram.

Eric:
Thank you.

UNB Tim:
I was like, I didn’t realize how many conversations I had in DMs on Instagram.

Eric:
Very chatty.

UNB Tim:
I’m like, I turn around and it’s like two innocent people messages. And I’m like, Jesus Christ. And then the same goes for the podcast. We get a lot of feedback when we post and people are like, I liked your latest issue or like your latest episode. And I have people who talk to me regularly about it. And then other people. who just either discover it or just want to share. So it’s really cool when people send us messages about the podcast, about hearing their own stories, hearing they’re not alone. So it’s really good that it came at the right time, I think. And it’s been a lot of fun to do. It’s allowed me to meet so many new people that I didn’t meet through the blog, because like you said, it’s one way. People don’t really comment or send in information about the blog.

Eric:
Yeah, exactly.

UNB Tim:
But the podcast really gets people sending in stuff and really, it’s good when they enjoy what you do and not just be like, okay, I’m reading your content. I like it, but you know, I’m never going to tell you that. So, but

Eric:
And I think, you know, that’s also something for me, just in terms of like the reward feedback system, right, is that I in life, I tend to do better when I feel that people appreciate what I do. So,

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
you know, basically, going from like just the written blog into YouTube and Instagram, really YouTube, to be honest, and hearing like in real time. positive feedback and comments and stuff like that, it makes me more want to do it, which then means I do more of it, which increases the feedback and the comments. And it’s like this virtuous loop. And

UNB Tim:
Oh yes.

Eric:
I really appreciate that.

UNB Tim:
Especially when I don’t put out a podcast week and people are like, where’s the podcast?

Eric:
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

UNB Tim:
And I’m going, uh, I was like, usually it’s like sometimes I just need a week off. Really. I just need a week off. And other times it was like, look, nobody recorded. I can’t do anything. I’m trying people. I’ve asked 20 people and two said, maybe, and the show I was supposed to do fell apart at the last minute, so. I’m trying to get content together as much as I can. So that happens and everyone has to be aware of that. I can’t just record like 50 podcasts in a week and then expect people to come on the show when it’s like, when’s my podcast coming out? Six months from now. I try to make it no more than a few weeks. I’m like three weeks, maybe four. is a good area to be in. But anything more than that, I’m like, it’s not really fair to the person to be like all excited to do the podcast and then have to wait months to have it come out. So try not to record them too far ahead of time, but every so often it’s like a podcasting flood where everyone’s like, I can do it this week.

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
And usually when that happens, I’m like, okay, I have three in front of you already and it’s not coming out till this week. Is that good? And they’re like, okay. So if they know going into it, I’ll do it, but yeah, no. That’s…

Eric:
Yeah, I remember you were mentioning that I think I’m one of the recent podcasts or something like that about the lag time between recording

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
it and coming out. And, you know, I think in general, one of the things that I’ve learned from this process is content creation is pretty hard.

UNB Tim:
Yes it is.

Eric:
You know, it seems easy. And like for me, I don’t know if you have those too, like I have like all of these ideas in my head, right? Like I have all this excitement, all these things I want to do, but the process of actually creating that content,

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
it’s, it’s not as easy as it sounds in your head.

UNB Tim:
No. And when you mix in other people, schedules, time zones, etc., it gets infinitely more complicated.

Eric:
Yeah, yeah.

UNB Tim:
And that’s what happens with podcasts, because I have all these great show ideas. I have a list of show ideas that I want to do. But I have to find the people to be on them. Which is… Easy in concept, you’ll get the guys, yeah, great, let’s do the show. Then you have to schedule it. And when you’re dealing with, you know, four guys, different time zones, this is when it’s just us based, you got to deal with everything going on and then work and all these other things that sometimes you schedule it and it doesn’t happen. And other times, you know, It does and you’re very happy, but it’s a lot of work. Scheduling, I was like, I was telling John on our podcast, I just need someone to help me with scheduling. You know, I need someone to help me find people and schedule. That’s what I need help with. I was like, the editing is easy. I hate doing it, but it’s easy. The rest of it is okay, but it’s like, That takes up more time than anything. And it annoys me because some people, I like sending emails because I can put a lot of information in an email and put everything everyone needs to know. But people don’t read their emails.

Eric:
Yeah, I know that.

UNB Tim:
And it’s like, okay, I have to text you people, read your email. Because everything’s in there. I’m not doing a text of this long for you people. Or I need something from people and they don’t send it. Or it’s like, okay, I need this. And no one responds. So I’m just like. So yeah, it’s difficult to do at times and coordinating people and schedules and brands and I’m trying to get more brands on and it’s just a nightmare. Just

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
a nightmare, but I enjoy

Eric:
I

UNB Tim:
doing

Eric:
hear you.

UNB Tim:
it. So I will keep doing it. It’s the nightmare I enjoy doing. So it

Eric:
Well,

UNB Tim:
pays

Eric:
that’s what

UNB Tim:
off

Eric:
keeps

UNB Tim:
in the

Eric:
you

UNB Tim:
long

Eric:
going.

UNB Tim:
run.

Eric:
Yeah, I mean,

UNB Tim:
It pays off.

Eric:
yeah, so I and your person agree with that. Like that’s what keeps me going too.

UNB Tim:
So yeah, it’s crazy. So your partner is 100% supportive of you and your underwear, which is

Eric:
Yes.

UNB Tim:
amazing because so many people out there, I’ve had people on the blog whose partner never knew they wrote for an underwear blog. I have run across people who have underwear, social media and their partners never knew. And so it’s great when you meet another content creator whose partner is super supportive, who enjoys it, because I’ve gone on dates where it is told what I do, and they look at me like I run, you know, like a RIT Boy site. And they’re like, what? You do what? And it’s like, okay, this is not gonna go very far. I can see that.

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
Cause you get one of, I get one of two reactions. The, you do what? Or the, oh my God, that’s so amazing, you turned in something you like into a business. And I’m like, oh, I can, it’s going somewhere with you. So, your partner’s supportive, does he like underwear as well? Or is he just the supportive husband who enjoys seeing you do something you love?

Eric:
Um, I would say definitely a hundred percent supportive. I mean, he’s been a hundred percent support from the very beginning. I would definitely say that I am far more into underwear than he is, but I. There, he does definitely enjoy different aspects of under with me, um, which is really cool and I think recently I was able to convert his underwear drawer, you know, away from, you know, the standard champions and. pains into stuff that I actually really like and I really like for him to wear. So that’s been a really cool process.

UNB Tim:
That’s a win.

Eric:
That’s definitely a win. And I think it was also a really cool process in kind of, I’d almost say, like more bonding together, right, on a personal level, a personal relationship level. You know, so it was both an enjoyment factor, but something also like wow, this feels really good between us. So that really helped as well. But yeah, I mean, he’s on here, he’s been supportive. I have, of course, way more underwear than he does, but it’s good, it’s fun. And that he also really likes it on me as well, and he likes what I do, and he actually cares a lot about the business aspect of it as well. I mean, I couldn’t ask for more.

UNB Tim:
Nice. Are you at least the same size so you can wear underwear?

Eric:
Yes, yes,

UNB Tim:
Ugh,

Eric:
so

UNB Tim:
jealous.

Eric:
we do share. And that’s also kind of, I think, what’s helpful too. So we lived in Texas for the past three years, and recently we left Texas to go travel around the world. So with that, we had to give up everything. We had to give up all of our furniture,

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Eric:
all of our we were only able to store a few boxes of memorabilia and important documents that my parents and his parents and everything else had to fit in two carry-on suitcases and two backpacks, right? That’s our life right now. So with that, I had to drastically cut down on my underwear collection.

UNB Tim:
Oh, that’s a shame.

Eric:
It was really tough. And it’s kind of weird, you know, for anyone, probably anyone who’s listening can understand that, but anyone who’s outside listening probably doesn’t understand the concept of having to sit there and go through your underwear collection and figure out what is it that I want to keep and what is it that I don’t want to keep.

UNB Tim:
Oh,

Eric:
It’s

UNB Tim:
that’s

Eric:
not

UNB Tim:
painful.

Eric:
a hard, very painful. So this is what I had to do. And I actually have to do it in two parts because it was just so hard for me to decide. I really enjoy my underwear collection, right? So this isn’t an easy decision. But one thing that really helped was my husband. I remember he actually told me this because I remember he was going through his stuff, right? Like his clothing and stuff. And I saw that he had put all of his underwear in like the Biscard pile. And I’m like, what are you doing? And he’s like, oh, well, you know, I think I would like to help you, you know, why don’t I take some of your underwear so that way you can like, keep it as we travel.

UNB Tim:
That’s her

Eric:
And,

UNB Tim:
husband.

Eric:
and I’m like, oh, really?

UNB Tim:
That’s love.

Eric:
Yeah. So it was really cool. So like now, you know, even today, it’s not that like, I don’t want people to think like, oh, well, we just have like one number, George, just like it’s a free for all, right? Like we do have our own quote separate collections, but you know, I was able to basically design his collection. I chose pieces I thought he would really love. He’s a hundred percent boxer briefs. So like I keep all of the other non-boxer briefs to myself, but you know, I think it’s been really cool. And also really been actually interesting getting his feedback from some of the different pairs, right? That I may have had a different. reaction to or I may have different thoughts about it, but he comes and he’s like, oh well, you know, there’s this or there’s that So it’s almost kind of like my own little guinea pig kind of in a sense to understand

UNB Tim:
Nice.

Eric:
So that’s been really helpful as well

UNB Tim:
Nice. See, I’m too tall and I’ve never dated anyone near my size. So,

Eric:
Oh yeah,

UNB Tim:
wump

Eric:
no we

UNB Tim:
wump.

Eric:
actually, we do share some clothing, not as much as we could, but yeah, I mean we do share different pieces of clothing as well outside of underwear.

UNB Tim:
I’m a giant, so yeah. I never date anyone. I barely date anyone over six feet, so that’s usually

Eric:
So.

UNB Tim:
been my, I’m six four, and then everyone

Eric:
Oh, well,

UNB Tim:
I date

Eric:
you know.

UNB Tim:
is usually five, 10, and under, so.

Eric:
Oh, wow, okay.

UNB Tim:
It’s like, yeah, no,

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
no sharing clothes, no sharing underwear, no, sorry.

Eric:
statue.

UNB Tim:
So that’s my life.

Eric:
Would you, if you could, like if you found something that was similar in sizes, would you do it?

UNB Tim:
Oh hell I would do in a heartbeat is just finding someone a tall and be the hardest part is finding someone who’s in underwear so

Eric:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
But a friend of mine pointed this out the other day. He goes look at it this way. I go what he goes Just think of all the more the money underwear. You have to spend on underwear if your partner is not into it. I Said now that’s a good way to look at it because if he’s in underwear, he’s gonna want to buy

Eric:
Oh

UNB Tim:
But if he’s not, I can spend.

Eric:
Yo, yo.

UNB Tim:
I’m like, that’s a positive spin on it. Good, good, I like that, I like that. He goes, yeah, because if you’re both into where you wanna spend all your money on underwear, and I’m like, well, it’s not a bad thing, but true, true.

Eric:
You know, with that, I see you just made me think of something. What are your thoughts on partners or husbands or whatever, wearing the same under? Because I actually have a very specific thought on this.

UNB Tim:
Oh, I love that. I’ve done that before.

Eric:
Oh,

UNB Tim:
I take it you

Eric:
gotcha.

UNB Tim:
don’t like it.

Eric:
No, so this is something that just doesn’t apply to under, but like, you know, even if like we’re going out, right. If we’re wearing somewhat of a similar color or somewhat similar clothing, I change. I do not want us to be wearing the same clothing out

UNB Tim:
Well,

Eric:
and

UNB Tim:
clothing,

Eric:
about.

UNB Tim:
I agree, but underwear, because

Eric:
I don’t

UNB Tim:
I’ve

Eric:
like

UNB Tim:
worn,

Eric:
it either.

UNB Tim:
you know what, no, I like the exact same pair, that we’re wearing the exact same pair of underwear together, I love that.

Eric:
Hmm.

UNB Tim:
Knowing he’s wearing the exact same pair I am.

Eric:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
Love it.

Eric:
I mean, I think I think quite a few guys like that. But for me, I don’t know, there’s something about it. I just don’t like

UNB Tim:
Clothing,

Eric:
it. Just don’t

UNB Tim:
I’m

Eric:
like

UNB Tim:
with

Eric:
where this

UNB Tim:
you.

Eric:
is.

UNB Tim:
Clothing, I cannot do matchy because you come down wearing the same thing, you’re just like, no. But underwear, because nobody’s gonna see it, except for us or whoever we choose to see it, I’m like super hot, super

Eric:
Hmm.

UNB Tim:
hot to me.

Eric:
Yeah, that’s not

UNB Tim:
Love

Eric:
me.

UNB Tim:
it, love it, love it, love it. So if anybody wants to buy me matching underwear, feel free, send it over. I’ll wear it the day or every day you want me to wear it.

Eric:
Oh, that’s good.

UNB Tim:
Take

Eric:
But

UNB Tim:
care.

Eric:
yeah, not for me. I don’t know. I like the feeling of having our own, like, different underwear on. So, yeah,

UNB Tim:
Well,

Eric:
I’m weird.

UNB Tim:
I just,

Eric:
I’m weird.

UNB Tim:
to each their own. There is no wrong with answering underwear. Just saying. So we’ll wrap it up there. We’ll definitely have you wanna have some show ideas after we get off here. I’m not gonna share them. There, you have to wait people. You don’t get to hear everything on a podcast, even if you are a Patreon member. So, but tell everyone where they can find you.

Eric:
Yeah, so there’s my blog at mensunderwearguide.com. Very easy to remember. And YouTube and Instagram, same thing, at mensunderwearguide. Definitely like, follow, and feel free to DM me, leave comments, I am very open to talk.

UNB Tim:
Yes he is, we’ve had many conversations. Thank you for coming on. You can find me at you and me, Tim, on everything social. And find the blog, listen to all our back issues, the podcasts, even the horrible winter underwear. But you know, you gotta have a bad episode to appreciate the good. Look at it that way. Remember, you can’t have a rainbow without rain, so look at it that way, people.

Eric:
Oh, that’s good. I never heard that before.

UNB Tim:
Oh yeah, that’s an old one. You can’t have rainbow without rain. Um, so yeah, you gotta have bad with good. That’s why it’s still up. Someone goes, we should take it down. And I’m like, no, you mean you need appreciation. You need to know you suck at times and you know, you’re really good at other times. But yeah, thank you everyone. Have an amazing week and we will have another podcast for you soon. Bye everyone.

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, host UNB Tim welcomes back guest Andrew, known for his presence on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Andrew shares that he recently came out to his wife about his passion for underwear, which had been a secret. Fortunately, his wife understood and embraced his interest, leading to a more open and supportive dynamic in their relationship. Andrew discusses his upcoming blog post, co-written with his wife, which addresses the stigma surrounding men wearing thongs. They aim to normalize diverse underwear choices and challenge stereotypes associated with specific styles. Andrew also mentions the desire for more inclusive advertising in underwear stores, showcasing men and women together wearing various styles of underwear.

UNB Tim expresses his appreciation for the growing community of straight men embracing and sharing their love for underwear. He highlights the importance of supporting partners who may initially struggle to understand their loved ones’ interest. Andrew shares that his wife joined him in writing the blog post to provide a unique perspective and help other women navigate their partners’ passion for underwear. They hope to educate and empower readers, fostering a more inclusive and accepting environment for all men’s underwear choices. The conversation concludes with the shared optimism that men’s underwear will continue to gain mainstream acceptance, with the potential for major retailers like Target or Walmart to offer a wider variety of styles, including thongs.

TRANSCRIPT

UNB Tim:
Hey everyone, welcome to another edition of the Brief Talk Podcast. We have a return visitor today. You know him from many places over the interwebs, from Instagram, Twitter, and now the YouTubes. It’s Mr. Andrew, welcome back to the show.

Andrew:
Hey, how’s it going Tim?

UNB Tim:
It’s a-goin’, it’s a-goin’, it’s been a week, it’s, you know… We’re all trying to get new underwear and I’m trying to sell it as fast as we can. But, you know.

Andrew:
That’s right.

UNB Tim:
Good to have you back. It’s been a hot minute since you were on. I don’t even remember when you were on. It’s been that long. I did not do my homework and looked up when you were last here, but it was probably last year, I would say.

Andrew:
Yeah, I wouldn’t say it was probably like July or August or something like that. So almost a year.

UNB Tim:
Wow, wow. I didn’t think that long. I was thinking November, but oops, welcome back.

Andrew:
Yeah, yeah, it’s been a blast the last year.

UNB Tim:
So catch our listeners up who may not follow you, what’s going on with you, what’s been happening in your world of underwear over there.

Andrew:
Yeah, so I have a underwear blog and I just recently came out with a YouTube channel as well. I would say, I guess just like a do like a quick two second review from the last podcast. At the end of the podcast, we talked about how I kind of came out to my wife about all of my fun underwear, social media networks. I was keeping it a secret because I wasn’t really sure how she was going to react to it and everything like that. That was the big splash at the end there where I just came out with everything. I was just sick of keeping the secrets and all that stuff. I was just like, okay, I’m just going to put it all out there and that way she knows of everything. It ended up being a really good thing. just for both of us, just to, you know, again, kind of keep that honesty. And then, you know, she, she ended up learning to understand it and really, you know, respect it and like it. And I was totally cool with it now. So it’s been really good. And now I get to kind of share some of my fun underwear adventures with her some more. And so that’s

UNB Tim:
Uh

Andrew:
been cool.

UNB Tim:
oh. Uh oh, underwear adventures, watch out.

Andrew:
Yeah, so we’ll go, you know, every once in a blue moon, I’ll show her a pair online or something. Like, ooh, what do you think of this one? You know, and that’s kind of fun. And it’s like, hey, okay, like, what is your reaction to this one? Is this like something you think you would like to see me in? Or do you think you’re like, oh, I don’t like the color? And so I’m making more like an educated purchase, which is kind of cool to have.

UNB Tim:
Wow, that’s always good, especially when you have a partner who likes it and enjoys it along with you. Our newest straight guy, John, is doing the same thing right now, so with his wife. So it’s kind of fun to hear him because his wife supports him in the journeys of… the journeys of you straight boys on the interwebs. And I had to tell him today to not accept… calls and unsolicited DMs from people. I was like, no, don’t do it. Don’t

Andrew:
So

UNB Tim:
do it.

Andrew:
yeah, I’ve been able to talk to John as well after the podcast. And once he finally got to Instagram, I was like, oh, I can finally message him. And so we’ve been going back and forth because we’re actually not too far from each other. We’re both in the Midwest. So, yeah.

UNB Tim:
He’s a good one. He is. He surprised me because he found the podcast just by random searching on podcasts and when I said straight boys where are you he sent me a message and now he’s come sort of a regular because you know we need more straight boys

Andrew:
Yeah,

UNB Tim:
out there.

Andrew:
absolutely. So I guess one of the first things I wanted to mention is I’ve got a new post coming out probably by the time this podcast is out. My new post will already be up. I’m planning on doing it on Wednesday the 14th of June. And it is going to be a new article that my wife and I wrote together.

UNB Tim:
Uh oh.

Andrew:
So super excited about this one. I would say the main kind of theme of it is, well, I should say that the title of it is called panties in a twist. And what it’s mainly about is talking about it specifically kind of gears towards women who have partners men who like thongs and just kind of addressing the stigma that comes with men and wearing thongs and what she thought about it at one point and what her views on it was and how things have changed now that she’s kind of learned more about it and how she kind of just kind of came to the realization that like okay just because my you know partner doesn’t mean he’s gay, or it doesn’t mean he’s this or that or whatever. Like underwear isn’t like something that like, you know, makes you a certain kind of person as far as label.

UNB Tim:
It makes you a sexy person.

Andrew:
That’s right. Yeah. So like, you know, like she even uses the example like, you know, if a woman wears boy shorts, it doesn’t mean she’s lesbian. Like that’d be a crazy thought, you know?

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Andrew:
It’s just a pair of underwear, it’s just underwear. And so, and there’s nothing wrong with being gay, but the main point of it is that the underwear doesn’t make them a certain type of,

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Andrew:
so. you know, with that, we kind of talk about that a bunch. And we just try to kind of break that apart a little bit. And then also with it, you guys will be able to read like her perspective of when I came out to her about my passion for underwear and everything that I I’ve been doing with it. You get to kind of see her journey of what she was thinking. when I was talking to her about it and how she was kind of freaking out on the inside about it. And then, you know, as she asked questions, she kind of realized what was happening with it. So, yeah, it’s going to be a really fun read. I’m really excited about it. I never thought my wife would be in one of my underwear articles.

UNB Tim:
And now she’s, so how did you get her to write this? Because we have had long, long requests to get wives on the show and partners on the show to talk about other people, how they found out their partner loves underwear, how they discovered it, was it something they shared from the beginning or later on? So how did you get her to write this? with you.

Andrew:
Yeah, so I mean, for me, I started out the topic and I kind of wrote like a rough draft of, because I wanted to talk about, because I’ve been getting a lot of people that have come to me and talked to me, specifically who are straights who have a wife who doesn’t understand, and they don’t they don’t get why they like underwear so much, specifically why it’s A bunch of them like to wear thongs and that’s just because of the stigma behind it. They’re just so

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Andrew:
confused. They’re just like, what? You want to wear what? You know, type of thing. And so I kind of wanted to address that issue a little bit more in a blog post. And I thought a great way of doing it would be to incorporate my wife’s actual thoughts and opinions and what she went through. So that… Hopefully the reader, specifically, hopefully the women out there that have a husband that loves underwear, hopefully when they’re reading it, they can kind of see a different perspective from someone that’s kind of that was in their shoes. And so that was something that she’s kind of grown to have a little bit of a passion about. Like, like, no, this is wrong. That someone should would be labeling from this. You know, that shouldn’t be why, you know, they have a bad opinion about men in thongs, you know. So it’s something that she definitely jumped on board and I’m really excited about it, besides the fact of her joining on with this, is that she’s the better one with grammar and everything else. So it’s going to be a lot better written article than what I put out. So that’s another reason above and beyond.

UNB Tim:
That’s why you get a Grammarly subscription like me and it does it for you.

Andrew:
That’s right. Yeah. So, yeah. So that’s kind of some of the fun stuff coming up with the blog. So anyone out there, you know, definitely reach out to me. Let me know if you have any questions about it. And

UNB Tim:
Well,

Andrew:
ex-

UNB Tim:
there’s a lot of men in that situation because I hear from a ton of them every year that their wives don’t get it, their wives think they’re gay, their family thinks they’re gay, whatever. And it’s like, you know, it’s sort of like a reverse coming out process for straight men because, you know, you’re not supposed to like underwear, you’re not supposed to do this.

Andrew:
rate.

UNB Tim:
That’s something for the gay boys. You shouldn’t be wearing such things. Oh, what man wears that?

Andrew:
right.

UNB Tim:
And as we’ve said in many of shows, masculine is what you make it, not what… And it keeps changing. So it doesn’t matter what it is. But it’s good to have that out there. And more and more straight guys are loving underwear and coming out as underwear fans online, which is amazing. Because when I first started the blog, there were very few. And now we have you and a ton of others and John and Scott and a ton of boys who love thongs and who loves everything. So, and it’s very cool to see it growing and having this wonderful community out there. So, yeah.

Andrew:
Yeah, so yeah, I’m excited about it. So you guys definitely check it out. One last thing that I kind of put at the end of the post, you’ll see is I also kind of mentioned, this was something my wife kind of brought up and didn’t really even think about it. And she was saying, she’s like, she kind of noticed that, not all the stores, but a good chunk of the underwear stores out there. that sell thongs, they seem to advertise a lot more like of like two guys together or something

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Andrew:
like that. And she was thinking it would be really cool if more underwear stores out there advertise more like men and women together wearing their underwear and where the man wears a thong or a jock or something like that. Just to like normalize those styles of underwear for all men. you know.

UNB Tim:
Yeah, they’re going after their audience that buys from those

Andrew:
Yes.

UNB Tim:
stores. But like I told you, Joe Snyder used to do a lot of men and women together. Who else used to do a lot? Even BodyAware does some now that’s men and women. They’ve started that up in the last couple, last year or so.

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
They have it. So they know their markets. They’re… It’ll happen in time, but it’s just, we’ll get there.

Andrew:
Yeah, yeah. And I totally get it. Like, it’s like, you know, yes, of course, you know, they want to go to, you know, where their general audience is. But I think for the sake of normalizing things, for, you know, all men, that would be kind of a cool thing to start to see a little bit more of, even if it was like a little teaser from, you know, each website, just throwing out like one

UNB Tim:
Well, it’ll happen sooner or later, because

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
we’ve had it before in the past, and it’s kind of sowing the other way. And now it’s in flux, and I think we’ll see men’s underwear go more mainstream in this country and more guys wear stuff they want and not focus on, oh no, what if they see my underwear? It’s like, who cares?

Andrew:
Right.

UNB Tim:
If they’re looking, look. put on a show, woo!

Andrew:
Thank you.

UNB Tim:
But it’s like, whatever. But yeah, more and more need to just enjoy it and be like, yeah, I like underwear, you don’t like thongs, you don’t like jocks, whatever. It’s no big deal.

Andrew:
Yeah, and I think one of the other things I brought up in this post is that I feel like with all the underwear stores online keeping thongs in their inventory and more underwear stores are jumping on the bandwagon of supplying men’s thongs, that obviously they’re selling them. So I feel like this is a secret. thing that a lot more guys are starting to enjoy, but they don’t want anyone to know. So it’s still a secret, but it’s becoming popular. They just don’t

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Andrew:
know it because they don’t want to talk about it.

UNB Tim:
Well, I knew when me undies came out with the thong that it was big because they’re more mainstream in their underwear. So when they did one, I was like, okay, thongs are getting big.

Andrew:
Yeah, I think it’s definitely like getting there and just getting bigger little by little. And man, it would be crazy to see one day, you know, having like a Target or a Walmart start to carry songs. It’s just like a normal thing, you know, just like any other style. I mean, I feel like it’s like a pipe dream, but maybe someday.

UNB Tim:
Well, they used to because we have so many people said they got their first song from Kmart.

Andrew:
So, well, actually I got mine from Target, so.

UNB Tim:
It’s like, oh my goodness remember when they actually sold real underwear and different styles into them boxer briefs and

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
they sold thongs and bikinis and whatnot and now it’s just like every time I go into a target or a TJ Maxx or Marshall’s it’s like I look through their underwear and I’m just like So let down you used

Andrew:
No.

UNB Tim:
to be so good and now you’re just like All Boxer Briefs.

Andrew:
I know, I know, I know, I know. I wonder if like they… Because I feel like when Target and Kmart like had their thongs, it was always just like a cheaper brand or like Joe Box or something like that. But like if they’d like had like a mid tier line that was like a little bit like sexier, if you will, a little bit higher quality. I wonder if there’d be something to that. Like, I know it didn’t target have like two exists for a little while.

UNB Tim:
Yeah, they had the exo- the… Well, they have an interesting history with, uh, To Exist because back in the early 2000s, they made a cheaper version of To Exist, but they used the exact same imagery and- on the boxes, the black and white pictures they used at the department stores. And, uh, it was… Was it To Exist or was it… What was it called? Oh my God. I remember it was in 2000. It wasn’t to exist. It was, oh shit, what was it? I don’t remember off the top of my head. And I’ve tried to search the internet for it and I can’t find it. And then they did the evolve line by to exist, which was sort of a lower version than to exist, but not like, proof of the loops.

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
And that expired and I don’t. I went into Target for the first time in forever the other day and I got what I wanted and left.

Andrew:
And yeah, yeah. So you know, hopefully someday I have a dream, right? I have a dream that someday there will be

UNB Tim:
Well…

Andrew:
men’s songs as a normal option.

UNB Tim:
We need underwear stores is what we need, but, uh,

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
cause it’s really odd. We have all the underwear stores around the country and oddly enough, all the ones in New York go out of business, which surprises me and I’m don’t understand why in New York city. And then you have like in Atlanta and Dallas and Chicago, and, uh, there’s one in Las Vegas, there’s some in LA, I think. Yeah, there’s a blog party in LA and then some in Seattle, but.

Andrew:
Temporary.

UNB Tim:
Oh, there’s one in, that’s right, there’s one in Denver. But other cities, it goes, they go out of business. They don’t have like the one in Des Moines went out of business, the

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
one somewhere else. I’m trying to think where it is. I think Cincinnati went out of business. And it’s like, we need underwear stores for men. That’s

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
what we need that carries what we want and don’t have to worry about it. But that’s a whole different, everyone wants to, I guess, wants to shop online and not. to have people see what they buy.

Andrew:
Yeah, man, I mean, I’ve stopped at some of the stores. So I’ve stopped at the one in Chicago and in the one in Denver. And it was so cool to actually touch feel.

UNB Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Andrew:
You know, there’s just like a whole nother element to it when you can actually see it actually in the one in Chicago, they even would let you try it on. And then if you didn’t like it, they had like some kind of UV light thing that. they would kind of de-germ it all, if you will. I don’t know if they would clearance it after that or what, but it was really, really nice to like be able to try it on and be like, okay, I’m spending $25, $30 on this pair, but I know it fits. So it was really neat.

UNB Tim:
Yes, and then I always tell people when I would go to Vegas and see all the stuff coming up when the shows were big, that certain periods you needed to see in person and not

Andrew:
Right.

UNB Tim:
online. I’m like, you’re not gonna… No, you’re not gonna… When you get it, you’ll be like, oh my God. But it won’t photograph well because that’s just the way it is.

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
You need to shop in person whenever you can. But so many people don’t. I’ll go buy whatever. I’ll just… Grab that pair of underwear and go buy it and not give a crap. I’m like, I don’t care what you think.

Andrew:
Mm-hmm.

UNB Tim:
It’s none of your business. You get my money. Shut up and take it.

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
Shut up, shut up. So I’ve always bought, I even did it at Marshall’s because one year they had thong, Calvin Klein thong, super cheap,

Andrew:
Ugh.

UNB Tim:
I think they were like $4. And

Andrew:
Jealous.

UNB Tim:
I’m like, buying them and went to the checkout and bought them and I had a friend go, oh my God, I would never buy something at Marshall’s and I’m like, who cares?

Andrew:
Yeah, oh man, I was at Ross the other day and they had a Sportbrief Calvin Klein pair with microfiber and it was in the wrong size. I was like, dang it.

UNB Tim:
Oh yeah, the one time I went to T.J. Marshall’s, they had, I think it’s the one I posted online, I think you commented on it, was the Calvin Klein in the bright colors and they were all smalls and I’m like…

Andrew:
Yeah, that’s right. Yeah.

UNB Tim:
Damn you! I was like, damn you! So yeah, our uh…

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
It’s just, they used to have be such great places to find really good cheap underwear and now it’s like… Well the one in the Ross and the 2GMX in Las Vegas have had some good stuff in it. Uh,

Andrew:
That’s good to hear.

UNB Tim:
I’ve found some like some 2Xist, some other stuff in those. Well, the Marshall’s more said than the Ross, because the Ross always is, I have a picture of like the wall of underwear they have, and it’s like all boxed-over reefs, and it just makes me sad. But it’s sort of hit or miss at the Marshalls in Vegas. So if you go to Vegas, go to the Marshalls and check it out, because you may be surprised, but you may not be. I’m just saying,

Andrew:
Right.

UNB Tim:
it’s hit or miss.

Andrew:
Well, definitely.

UNB Tim:
So let’s talk about your YouTube channel. You started a channel about underwear on YouTube, which is still kinda pretty McPrudence, kinda like Instagram, because we’ve had our channel on there for 10 or 12 years, and we had a video going to hit a million views, and they hit us for violation.

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
And I’m like, oh, you bastards. I appealed it and of course lost. And so then now trying to get stuff on YouTube for me has been a challenge because they don’t want you to show anything kind of like Instagram. And like you had Vimeo you could go to as well, but they’ve kind of changed their model. And I don’t know what the hell they’re doing. And there’s really no place for like, not adult videos, like we’re not doing only fans.

Andrew:
Right, right, right.

UNB Tim:
But you know, over 18, like, oh look, a man actually has a bulge. Oh my god. Look, you see a thong, a guy wearing a thong in his butt. Oh my god. So tell us about your Instagram channel and why you started it.

Andrew:
Yeah, so I think some of the main inspiration behind it was I’ve had this underwear blog for a while and I do a lot of under reviews on there and I usually will take a picture of it and of the pair I’m reviewing and then write about it, but there’s nothing like actually showing the pair in a video where you can audibly… describe the pair and show them what you’re talking about. And I just kind of felt like there’s not a lot of people out there doing this. There are some. And I just thought, well, shoot, why not? So, you know, I’m kind of a private person on these social media pages. I don’t show my body or anything like that. Just show the underwear and kind of just keep it about the underwear. And that’s what I’m kind of doing with these videos. Basically, you get a wonderful view of my underwear drawer. And I typically will showcase different pieces and all different fun stuff like that. So I apologize if some people are bored by that, but other people, I think, really enjoy that part.

UNB Tim:
Well, when we posted pictures of people’s underwear drawers in the past, people kind of love that. So you’ll have those people like, oh, what’s he got in there? Look at there. I see this and this and he’s talking this, but I also see this.

Andrew:
Right.

UNB Tim:
So, yeah, people like looking at other people’s underwear drawer. And I do that every so often with people I date. I’m like, oh, let’s see what’s in here. Come on.

Andrew:
Right? Yeah.

UNB Tim:
Let’s see what needs to go Here you go. Nope. Oh, this is good this nope. Nope. Nope Usually it’s a lot more nos than yes, so

Andrew:
Yeah, well, I don’t have like hundreds of pairs, but I do have over 100. So hopefully I inspire some people to add to their collection.

UNB Tim:
Well, I always encourage everyone to buy underwear, swimwear, and anything else. So I had a friend just the other day, should I buy this? And I was like, yes, you should buy that. They’re like, you didn’t even hesitate. And I’m like, you don’t come to me for, you know, sage financial advice around underwear. You come for me to say, yes, you need to buy that. Yes, that’s awesome. Yes, you need to get that. I was like, I will never tell you no, so if you come to me and ask me should you buy something, the answer is going to be yes, so why even ask me?

Andrew:
unless he is talking about some pair of boxers.

UNB Tim:
Well, if you tell boxers

Andrew:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

UNB Tim:
and like Cody and a couple other people they’re sorry, I will tell you to burn those.

Andrew:
Right, yeah.

UNB Tim:
Just, just set those on fire. No one likes them. No one cares about them. So, although I just, I just can’t stand boxers. So it makes my skin.

Andrew:
Yeah. So, yeah, so I mean, with the YouTube channel, some stuff I’ve done already is I’ve gone over all the different styles of men’s underwear. Basically, the main purpose of the channel is just to educate people of what’s out there for men’s underwear. There’s a lot of people who, you know… are only in the Walmart world where they only buy Fruit of the Loom and Haynes and I have no idea

UNB Tim:
Ugh.

Andrew:
what else is out there. So the main thing is just kind of like bringing some enlightenment of different styles you can get, different fabrics you can get, different brands you can get. So yeah, like a video I’ve already done, it just kind of went over all the different underwear styles and you know some people might think, oh, well, that can’t be too bad. There isn’t just like three or four of them. No, there’s like seven, eight, nine different,

UNB Tim:
There’s a lot

Andrew:
there’s

UNB Tim:
of styles

Andrew:
tons

UNB Tim:
of underwear.

Andrew:
of different styles. So, you know, whether it’s, you know, I’m sure a bunch of people haven’t even heard of jock briefs or jock trunks or.

UNB Tim:
Well, according to the survey, they’re dead, so I’m just telling ya.

Andrew:
Well, I’m a fan, so.

UNB Tim:
Well, you’re a fan, but you’re the only one, cause

Andrew:
Ha ha.

UNB Tim:
nobody… Poof. Those were the lowest rated ones of all of them. I was just like, Damn, okay.

Andrew:
Yeah, I was kind of surprised by that because I and I don’t know if maybe if I’m just newer to the scene of them I mean, I’ve discovered on maybe two or three years ago, but I think they’re like the best of both worlds

UNB Tim:
Well, people wear them, but for some reason in the survey, they were just like, Ugh, ick, no. And I’m going, what is going on here?

Andrew:
Yeah.

UNB Tim:
Ugh. But yeah, they still wear them. They still make them. So I’m like, they wouldn’t be making them if nobody was wearing them.

Andrew:
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

UNB Tim:
But yes, it’s crazy. And they used to have the jock trunks also back in the day. I remember those, because there’s a trunk and it had no back. And I’m like, those are just called play time. That’s

Andrew:
I’m

UNB Tim:
all

Andrew:
sorry.

UNB Tim:
those are called. I’m just saying, nobody is wearing those for anything other than that. Just saying.

Andrew:
Actually, I just bought a new pair of those a month or two ago from Pum.

UNB Tim:
I haven’t even looked at Pumpkin forever, oh my god.

Andrew:
Yeah, I think that was when I was in Denver and I was at the underwear store. I saw that pair and the wife saw it and she was like, oh, this is something different that you don’t have. And it was, she liked the colors or something different that I didn’t really have a lot of. So I ended up going for it. I think it’s a cool pair. I like it.

UNB Tim:
Well, see, try something new. Try something new.

Andrew:
Thanks.

UNB Tim:
That’s

Andrew:
Thanks,

UNB Tim:
what

Andrew:
Zachary.

UNB Tim:

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, Tim welcomes Dio, an Irish go-go dancer currently residing in Seoul, South Korea. Dio shares his intriguing journey into the world of underwear, revealing how it has played a significant role in his personal transformation. Previously lacking confidence due to weight concerns, Dio recalls his first purchase of a daring harness and thong from AliExpress, which sparked his interest in the power of underwear. He specifically expresses his fondness for Calvin Klein underwear, particularly the grey designs that effortlessly blend comfort and sexiness. Despite evolving trends, Dio has remained true to the underwear styles that make him feel special.

Tim delves into the influence of the Asian market on Dio’s underwear choices, given his relocation to Korea and involvement in go-go dancing. Dio acknowledges the distinct characteristics of Asian underwear designs, highlighting their silkier material and smaller, more revealing cuts. He finds the sexier fit of Asian underwear, particularly briefs, visually appealing, although they may not provide as much room as some may desire. Dio’s recent experience as a model for grey Calvin Klein underwear reinforces the subconscious draw towards familiar and comfortable choices. Throughout the conversation, the hosts celebrate the diverse options available in the world of underwear, emphasizing the importance of personal comfort and confidence when selecting underwear.

Tim:
Hey everyone, welcome to another edition of the Brief Talk Podcast. We’re back with you. We have someone I ran across on Instagram through Cy. It is Dio. Welcome.

Dio:
Hello, thank you very much for having me.

Tim:
And if you noticed, he is not American by his

Dio:
No,

Tim:
accent.

Dio:
I am not. Ha ha ha.

Tim:
He is from Ireland, but that’s not the interesting part. Well, it is interesting, but the real interesting part, he’s in South Korea.

Dio:
Yes, I am currently in Seoul, South Korea.

Tim:
So, that’s a travel for ya, but yay, we got him on the podcast. I met him through Sy, who was wonderful, and he was in a picture with Sy, and I’m like, who is

Dio:
Hahaha

Tim:
this person? Where is this Irish guy in Seoul, South Korea, but he’s in Tokyo? Let’s find out

Dio:
Haha

Tim:
more about this. So we started talking, and bam, here he is. He’s on the show. Welcome!

Dio:
Thank you very much. Yes, it does sound about chaotic when you say it like that. But, it’s the most honest.

Tim:
It was just combinations I was not

Dio:
Yeah

Tim:
ready for, but it’s like, you know, that’s not a bad thing after

Dio:
No, that’s

Tim:
all.

Dio:
not…

Tim:
I kind of

Dio:
Yeah,

Tim:
like that.

Dio:
I’m here for a tea.

Tim:
It’s one of those words like, you know, I never would have thought of that combination, but yeah.

Dio:
Hmm.

Tim:
Yeah, that works. So, yes. So tell our listeners a little bit about you if they don’t follow you on social media or know who you are, which they will after this podcast, but…

Dio:
Well, I am currently, as they said there, I’m Irish and I’m actually from a city called Derry in the north. And I moved to Korea about five years ago and I’ve been living in Seoul for the last three years. And then, yeah, I’ve just kind of been traveling around Asia for a while. I’m 30 years old and I’m currently working in education but I’m also part-time model and go-go dancer. And I’m very into fitness and things like that.

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
So that’s my kind of side hustle. And yeah, that’s just what I’ve been doing.

Tim:
Nice. Yeah, that’s how we signed because of the go-go pictures.

Dio:
Hehehe

Tim:
And I was like, since Sai gave us a lesson on the go-go culture and told us all about it, I’m like, well, we need more go-goes on here from Japan and Korea.

Dio:
Mm-hmm.

Tim:
Just saying. Just because. It’s just an amazing culture and so much fun and amazing.

Dio:
Yeah, very much so. It’s very exciting, because especially with Korea, it’s fairly new, and with Japan, it’s so established. So to do both of them, they’re very exciting in different ways, if you know what I mean.

Tim:
Oh yeah, it’s just, cause once I told me, I’m like, Go Go, really? And he just blew my mind when he told me all that. And I was like, that’s amazing, I love that. So yes. So let’s get to our first question. We’ll mix in more Go questions, don’t worry

Dio:
Yeah.

Tim:
people. So you wear amazing underwear when you Go dance. Have you always liked underwear? Has it been something you’ve always enjoyed?

Dio:
Well, actually, so years ago, I was really overweight and like was very uncomfortable and not confident in myself. And so underwear was never really something I focused much on. I’d always just wear like really basic like boxers and things that were just comfortable. And a lot of the time they were bought for like, my parents would buy me them and I would just be like, whatever.

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
I never really thought about underwear in that way. And then it wasn’t until like a little bit older and then there was one day like I seen like these like kind of there was like do you know what it was it was like this really cheap like really cheap ass like song and I seen it on like aliexpress

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
or whatever and I bought like my first harness at the same time and I remember being like oh like this is too risky but like I don’t feel good about myself so maybe this will make me feel good I don’t know why so I just was like fuck it let’s just go And so I went ahead and bought it and I tried it on and I remember feeling like, oh wow, I feel different. And I

Tim:
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Dio:
was like, oh, is this hot? Is this sexy? Like I remember being like, oh what? So that was kind of like the first time like I ever really took an interest or like even noticed how underwear could make you feel a little bit different, if you know what I mean. So,

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
um, yeah, that was like the first from AliExpress of all places, like cheapest chips.

Tim:
There’s worse places to get underwear, but at least you made that first step because so many guys don’t even buy it. They just look at it and be like, oh no, I’m not

Dio:
Hmm,

Tim:
gonna buy it. But you

Dio:
and

Tim:
bought

Dio:
it was a

Tim:
it

Dio:
thong.

Tim:
and got it shipped

Dio:
A little

Tim:
to

Dio:
thong

Tim:
you.

Dio:
as well. I actually think I still have that. I actually think I still have it. Never wear it, of course, but yeah.

Tim:
Well now… Wow! I’m impressed you still

Dio:
long timekeeper

Tim:
have it!

Dio:
like you’re in this for all time’s sakes

Tim:
There you go. So you bought this first pair from AliExpress. When did you finally branch out and buy some good underwear to see what good underwear

Dio:
Well,

Tim:
was?

Dio:
actually, I had always kind of noticed, obviously, when you see advertisements on TV and whatever, and then on social media, Calvin Klein basic. I know they’re so basic, but the Calvin Klein, especially

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
the grey ones, and you see they’ve got the sets, even with the girls, they have the crop tops and everything. Just the grey ones in particular really caught my eye. I don’t know why. And I think it’s something to do with because they look cozy but sexy, if you know what I mean.

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
And then also the gray print, I mean come on now we all know about the gray tracks, like the gray trackies and the outlines

Tim:
Oh yes.

Dio:
and you know. So all that kind of harkens back to the same idea. So I was like, oh these look hot and comfortable ads actually. So they were like the first kind of designer brand. I know they’re not like super designer but like they were Calvin Klein so I thought you know what, they’re a designer, they’re a nice fit and also they were briefs. And I used to never

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
wear briefs, I used to always wear boxers, so to wear briefs I was like, ooh I am so sexy right now. I am feeling

Tim:
Hehehe

Dio:
myself, I am loving this. Actually, ironically enough, I still buy those same, obviously not the same ones all the time, but I buy the same kind of style and usually the grey Calvin Klein ones I always seem to go back to them. I don’t know why actually. Maybe it was a subconscious thing

Tim:
That’s

Dio:
of

Tim:
fine.

Dio:
like, how they made me feel, so…

Tim:
Probably that I know a lot of people their first pairs they really got like that really Made them feel special a lot of times aren’t made anymore or they’re like a small brand they can’t find So I think it’s pretty awesome that you still wear the same ones Same styles from Calvin Klein that you got before so that’s pretty cool

Dio:
Mm-hmm No, yeah, it’s actually recently I did a photo shoot like a professional one in them and I didn’t even I mean again Like there was a good option if you get to choose like underwear What do you want to like present and there’s I mean, there’s a huge big like Option, there’s so many options of all many colors so many to set the size designers, whatever And again, I went back to them. I don’t know why.

Tim:
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Dio:
I just was like, it’s just my subconscious being like, you love these, just stay with it.

Tim:
It’s what you feel comfortable

Dio:
Exactly.

Tim:
in.

Dio:
And that’s what’s all that matters.

Tim:
But Calvin Klein makes good underwear. It’s not one I would call bottom of the barrel, but you know,

Dio:
Mm-hmm.

Tim:
it’s sexy, it’s fun. It can be a little more conservative, but it still makes it sexy as can be. I’m just

Dio:
Hmm,

Tim:
saying, just saying.

Dio:
I agree.

Tim:
Definitely. So, now that you’re in go-go

Dio:
Mm-hmm.

Tim:
dancing and moved to Korea. Have you branched out another style since you’ve been there? Because you know, the Asian market is very different from, especially America and some Europe. So have you, has that influenced your underwear selection since you’ve been there? Or are you still sticking with like the Calvin Klein’s?

Dio:
So actually, as you say, especially in Asia, the underwear design is a little different. I’m sure Sai probably mentioned this last time, but the material is always a lot more silkier, it’s a lot smaller, and they’re

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
a lot more revealing, to be honest. So if you’re packing a lot, it’s not ideal for you. So they’re quite small, to be honest. But the way they sit is, I think, personally. a lot sexier than any other. I’m talking about briefs here

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
specifically. They sit on your body a lot more like high rise but they look so hot. Especially when you’re like coconut sitting and whatever, they look so good. Only problem is if you’re going to do like a slut drop or something like that you have to be careful just in case it all falls out. So My ass is out. But it was, I mean, hot. They loved it. I had a good time. It didn’t matter. But yeah, there’s a lot of actual, especially like in Korea, there’s a lot of underwear brands here that are starting to really kick off that I’ve actually worked with as well in the past through Google shows or I’ve modeled for them. And they’re like some of my favorites actually. Especially there’s a brand that I modeled for recently called Uncensored Scene. like it’s UCSD scene and they have mostly just underwear. They do a lot of like jewelry, like necklaces and bracelets. And they started doing like harnesses, but not leather ones, just like an underwear kind of harness. But

Tim:
Okay.

Dio:
they’re one of my favorite brands. I wear them almost every day, like especially their necklaces and their underwear as well, as I say, like for shows. They’re always coming up with new stuff and actually they have a new line coming out soon. So make sure you check that out. Also another brand I work with is NPNC, like No Pick No Chat, but theirs is like No Pride No Chat, which I love. I think this is really cool.

Tim:
No.

Dio:
And they’re actually more of a designer as such. They make clothes like shirts and pants and whatever, but they also make a lot of underwear. So there’s a few times I’ve actually go-go-danced wearing their brand as well, so they sponsor a lot of the shows in Korea for go-go-dancing. But yeah, I definitely noticed that the Asian style is a lot different from the Western style, probably because, I don’t know, just the smaller body frames. And personally

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
for me, I’m a short guy anyway. So… They fit for me perfectly, I have no problem. I love them honestly. My drawers are full of the Uncensored scene underwear and NPN scene underwear from Pathshows and things that I’ve liked and I bought them again. Those are my two go-tos in Korea. Also, not to make it international, but there’s another brand that I actually… buy quite often from, and they’re from Scotland and they’re called the Darkroom brand. It’s actually owned by, you’ve probably heard of it before, but it’s owned by PJ Knox, the porn star, and Andres, his fiance. They’re actually good friends of mine and they do a lot of, they’re always coming up with new stuff. I actually have managed to gather a lot of things from the Darkroom brand. And one of my favorite pieces that I got from them is this little like jockstrap, but the jockstrap has these metal buckles on it. So like you can just click them and they come off. And like last time I was doing a go-go show, I wore them and they were really comfortable as well for on stage, but also really handy for like if you’re going to do like a towel show, like they’re perfect because they just,

Tim:
I

Dio:
you just click them and they fall off and they sit. on my body, I don’t know, they’re like cut perfectly, they look like a glove. And they’re one of my favorites at the moment that I have. I’ve actually had a few photos online wearing all of these brands and underwear, so I’m sure if anybody wants to check them out, you can see them. But yeah, the Darkroom brand, that’s one of my new favorites as well, and also because of friends of friends, but their style and the quality of their products are insane, it’s so good.

Tim:
Nice, those are three very different brands, which I

Dio:
Yeah.

Tim:
like that. That’s good. Yeah, because Sai explained to us about the underwear over there and how it’s what they like, what they don’t like, what they find sexy. So it’s way different from here of what is considered sexy and then told us about the towel shows and opened my eyes to all things go over there. And it was just like,

Dio:
Hehehe

Tim:
oh my god. gotta go, this is amazing.

Dio:
Hehehe

Tim:
And so it’s really cool to hear how the underwear is being mixed in, how, you know, how is go-go dancing different in Korea than Japan?

Dio:
Well, that’s the thing. So, go-go dancing is fairly new to Korea in the sense that in our nightlife scene, go-go dancing has only started really kicking off in this last year. And they don’t do it as often as they do in Japan. It’s easy, obviously, online almost every single week there’s some kind of show, something happening for go-goes in Japan, and there’s a roster of like 20 guys that are almost everywhere

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
all the time. In Korea, it’s not really like that at all. We don’t really have that many. There’s, I would say like we have some go-gos, but a lot of them would don’t do shows either in Korea or will do shows in other places. Like there’s a few guys that will go and they’ve done songkran in Thailand, or they would do some shows in Japan. Um, but they never really perform in Korea. And I guess that’s down to like social conservatism. Like it’s just.

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
In Korea, it’s a lot more conservative than Japan, especially in the gay scene. Nobody really wants to put themselves out there in that way. Even sometimes when we’re doing promos, they’ll cover our face in the promos just to respect your privacy sort of thing. For me, I don’t care because I’m lucky to be openly gay and not care about that, or even my family will know about that. My family even follow me on social media, which is weird but funny.

Tim:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Dio:
and they see what I’m doing, they know what I do, so they’re like, work diva. So I’m just like, whatever. I don’t care, but I know other Koreans that it’s very serious for them, so respecting their privacy, I get it, but also then it’s kind of like, I don’t really understand the sense of like, you’re going to go on stage and dance and they’re all going to see you, but you don’t want the picture being put online, so it’s kind of like… contradictory a little bit but I understand the same sense of like it is all about respect to privacy and what you’re comfortable with and I get that. But also a lot of the guys here they’re not really trying to make careers out of go-go dancing. Some of them are but most of them aren’t but most of them just they were asked and they will do it for a bit of fun and yeah it’s just it’s not really that serious for them. But as I say like there’s a lot of guys that will go to Japan for shows and actually myself included I’m planning on doing a show in Japan. Tokyo very soon, which is a big deal for me because branching out to go international. So very excited

Tim:
Oh.

Dio:
for that. But again, as I say, because of a lot of shows in Korea, like Go! Dancing isn’t really that big. And a lot of the time they’ll get go-gos from Japan to Korea to do shows. And yes, I understand that because a lot of time in Korea too, they are seen a lot more like as celebrities. In Japan, it’s less serious. They’re like, oh, that’s such an outay. But like, I didn’t realize that. I was like, oh my god, fangirl. And like when I was there, and they were just like, yeah, that’s just whatever. Like, they don’t really care. And I was like, oh, right. OK. But then when they come to Korea, they get all that fangirls and oh my god. So they get a lot of attention. So if like Japanese go-go boys come to Korea, like I’m totally like, yeah, come here because they will eat you up. They will love you. But in the same sense, it’s like, why don’t we have that? Like, we only have. We’ll do a show maybe once a month, which is dependent, it’s not always certain. But I’ve done all the big clubs in Seoul, which has been great. I’ve been very honored and privileged to do all that, especially being white in this environment. I mean, it’s not very, not to say that it’s racist or anything, but it’s not very welcoming to others. Every go-go dancer in Japan and Korea are Asians of some sort. But majority of them,

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
especially in Japan, I would say like 95% are Japanese and then in Korea there’s like 99% of them are Korean and then me. Hello! So just

Tim:
Hahaha.

Dio:
me. But again, I think it is more like a conservative idea in Korea that that’s why it’s harder to get gogos. And also a lot of times gogos are saying like they don’t really, they don’t care. They’re not really planning on making this a part of their career or any form of like, not that it’s a career, but you know what I mean, it’s not a part of their gigs. They’re

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
not really serious about it. But there are a few and it is getting better and it’s getting bigger, especially at the moment. I’ve noticed that there’s a few guys now that have been, that are being recruited for some shows. So we love to see that. So I’m like, yes, I love to, more representation, please, come on. Like we need to show up. Because

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
if we’re going to start doing go-go dance and we can’t look like, no, we have to try and compete with Japan here, so come on, let’s get it, let’s get some team

Tim:
Yeah.

Dio:
together or get some scene, you know? But it is getting better and luckily there’s a lot of clubs like Gym Club in Seoul and King Club. King Club is mostly K-pop but they sometimes do go-go shows. Gym Club is a

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
circuit club which is where all the big go-gos go and I’ve done there a few times, like I’ve done there a couple times and it’s really good. I love it there. It’s just perfect for what we’re talking about. Eagle Soul has started doing go-go shows as well. Actually, I was so honored to get to do that show last time. That was actually the first time I met Sai.

Tim:
So nice.

Dio:
Eagle Soul has been my go-to. Every time I go out, it’s the place I go. I was just so honored to be able to actually go there as well because they didn’t really ever do go-go shows until recently. As I say, the go-go scene is expanding and there is more happening, so I’m very honored and glad to be a part of it. I just hope I can keep pushing for the Koreans as well. Although I’m Irish, I’m still representing Seoul. Even when I

Tim:
Yes.

Dio:
go to Tokyo and people are asking, oh, the book go-go shows, I’m like, yeah, I’m Irish, but I’ve never done a show in Ireland, so I’m representing Seoul. They’re like, the Korean go-go, but you’re Irish? I’m like, yes.

Tim:
Yes.

Dio:
So it doesn’t really make sense, but the same thing is I’m Team Korea, so…

Tim:
Nice. So how did you get Gogo dancing to begin with?

Dio:
Well, there was actually it was an Eagle Soul about two years ago. And about a year ago, it was just it was just at the very break. Actually, two years ago, it was in Korea because Korea hadn’t really had much bother with COVID at the time. And they were just like they were locking down and doing all that. But they were still things happening. And there was like some kind of party at Eagle Soul. And there was a guy they were doing like some kind of go-go show. But it wasn’t really a show. It wasn’t like a go-go show as such. It was like. a performance, like a BDSM kind of performance thing. And

Tim:
Okay.

Dio:
I remember, as I say, I’m always an eagle. And of course, I was like super drunk and was like just vibing because they were playing like a remix for like Megan Thee Stallion. And I was obviously like losing my mind. So I was just dancing and like just having fun with my friends. And like, one of the organizers of that party seen me there, was like, oh, like, no, you have a lot of energy. And you’re down to party, whatever. and they had kept an eye on me. And then I started getting in shape and started doing modeling and started doing things like that. And then they were like, hey, do you want to do a go-go show with us? It was for Gay Pride last year. There was an event at Gym Club. I can’t remember the name of it. And basically they had hired some go-gos and they needed one more. And they asked me and I was like, oh. I’ve never done this, but like, are you sure it’s okay? Because I’m a foreigner and all this.” And they were like, yeah, of course, no worries. So like, I was like, right, sure, let’s do it. So, um, yeah, they, that was my first show in gym club. And I had the best, I mean, it was out of all the places to do a show, gym club is like the biggest. And I was like, oh my God, throwing the deep end here. So

Tim:
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Dio:
I did gym club and king club on the same night and I remember just being like, oh my God, what is my life? Like, this is crazy. And like, I had so much fun. Like, I just really, really loved it. And I always said when I was younger, I like, because like, as I said before, like I used to be really overweight. And like, when I was younger, like I remember saying like, if I had the body, I’d be such a good cooker dancer. I used to always say this when I was drunk, by the way. Ha ha ha. Disclaimer,

Tim:
Yeah. Hahaha.

Dio:
I was a little less drunk and feeling myself. I’ve been a good Google dancer and I’m just very proud of myself now that I’ve been able to do this now, like from thinking like I could never have the opportunity to do it and now they actually get the opportunity to do it. It’s just very, it’s just very nice. I’m very proud of myself.

Tim:
Nice, now you from all the videos and pictures I’ve seen on your Instagram it looks like you’re killing

Dio:
Thank

Tim:
it

Dio:
you very much.

Tim:
and having fun with doing it which is the most important

Dio:
Mm-hmm.

Tim:
which is amazing because talking with you over Instagram has been really fun the last week we said we’ve been chatting so I was

Dio:
Aw,

Tim:
like

Dio:
thank you very much.

Tim:
we definitely got to

Dio:
You

Tim:
get him

Dio:
too,

Tim:
on

Dio:
it’s

Tim:
you

Dio:
been great.

Tim:
So you have the energy and you have everything and I’m trying to bring more international people onto the podcast and like I said when I found out you’re Irish and in Korea I was like jackpot

Dio:
Hahaha

Tim:
we hit

Dio:
I’m

Tim:
it

Dio:
gonna go.

Tim:
so it’s good to bring on other people and bring on other points of view and everything and talk about different things and culture and We have a mix of gay straight bi, so it’s just, it’s really fun to hear people’s stories and hear how underwear fits in there with it, and it’s not just something you wear, but something that’s fun, and you wear shows, and you have favorite brands, so that’s amazing.

Dio:
Yeah, because a lot of the time it is about the underwear that you’re wearing because we’re just dancers, we’re just whatever. We’re basically walking billboards for a lot of brands. So I love representing brands that I love and doing the things that I like to do. So it’s always good. It’s a full circle. You’re helping them, but they’re helping you. So it’s great. I love it.

Tim:
It’s a great way to sell underwear, especially when you’re there. It’s like, hello,

Dio:
Uh-huh.

Tim:
get some go-go boys and sell some underwear.

Dio:
Exactly.

Tim:
We need go-go culture here like that. We need… It’s not the same here, but you know.

Dio:
Really? I thought they had a big scene there.

Tim:
We have, we have Goga Boys, but it’s not like the way Psy has it and go out night to night and here’s people or you follow. There’s like a couple of people you’d follow, but no one like you would think, oh, someone’s dancing, let’s go. And it’s

Dio:
Yeah.

Tim:
like, because Japan, it’s like, oh, Psy’s dancing or one of the other guys is dancing. So you want to go out. And there it’s like, OK, they can dance. Here’s some dancers. But it’s not like.

Dio:
Yeah.

Tim:
Household names so I’m like we need some like household names and

Dio:
With

Tim:
stuff

Dio:
us, it’s similar to Japan. They would be like, oh my god, such and such a beautiful show, there, let’s go. Almost Google Boys are held to the same standard as Drag Queens, which is weird. In America,

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
obviously Drag Queens are the main thing and then the Google Boys are the backup, just whatever. But

Tim:
Yes.

Dio:
here, we’re on the same level. Sometimes actually, they will try and book us for gigs with Drag Queens a lot of the time.

Tim:
Mm-hmm.

Dio:
We are on the same stage, same level kind of idea here.

Tim:
Yeah, because Sai explained it that drag is crazy here, big, and he goes, well, go-go’s here and drag is not

Dio:
Exactly.

Tim:
so big. So it’s like, so I’m like, we

Dio:
I

Tim:
need

Dio:
agree,

Tim:
go-go’s.

Dio:
Korea

Tim:
We need some

Dio:
is

Tim:
go-go’s.

Dio:
the same, the Gugud culture is a lot bigger than the Drag culture. But it’s getting bigger.

Tim:
I was like, I’m like, we can keep her drag queens, but we just need some go-go boys too. I’m just saying.

Dio:
Yeah, exactly. Room for everybody.

Tim:
There’s room for both.

Dio:
Okay.

Tim:
There’s room for both. And they can work together every so often.

Dio:
Exactly.

Transcript (note some things aren’t accurate)

TIM:
Hey, and we are live. We are live now. Yay. Okay, we’re recording. I can’t hear you breathe, Wayne though. I’m not sure where your microphone is.

Wayne:
supposed to be a noise cancellation so home

TIM:
I don’t know what it is. I have noise reduction for everybody and echo cancellation for everybody. Just making sure. That sounds better. I’m not sure what it’s doing, it’s crazy. But we’ll kick it off and go now. I’ll introduce everyone and we’ll have a fun show. In three, two, one. Hey everyone, welcome to another edition of the Brief Talk Podcast. It’s been a minute, but we’re back with you after the holiday here in the US and a bunch of crazy stuff going on with me. We have a great show today that’s all about beefy boys because it’s a full beefy boy show minus Stevie who’s in Gay Days in Disney World. So have fun Stevie. So we have our favorite duo Ryan and Will. Welcome boys.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Hello. Hi. It’s been a minute since we’ve been

TIM:
Good

Steaks_N_Cakes:
on.

TIM:
to have… I know, it’s been crazy and we’re fixing that because I have an announcement I have to announce after we introduce everyone. So yay! And then we have someone you’ve heard on the show. A couple weeks ago we have Wayne back with us!

Wayne:
Hey, thanks for having me on again.

TIM:
Glad to have you back on. I really enjoyed having him with his brief tale and he was friends with Will and Ryan and I figured this would be a great show to do with all of us But in the meantime, I have my announcement. I do have a uh new Drum roll in here, but i’m not gonna play it because it’s probably too damn loud because I have a soundboard with our new uh riverside Software that’s helping us record podcast. Yay! Thanks Patreon members. But that’s not our announcement. After many people have come to me, they said they missed the group shows. So we’re going to bring them back once a quarter. So the next one we’re going to record the end of June, which will be out July, the first week in July, I think. So look forward then, every fourth of July weekend, we’re going to have our group shows. I’ve had many people say they missed them, they want them back, and other people in our survey did not want to hear them, but you know, we try to give the people what they want. And speaking of, you know, I’m a giver, what can I say? I like to give. So we will have them, Will and Ryan will be on it, and some of your usual suspects will be on it, and some other new people that you haven’t heard on a group show before, so yay! But a quick update on our Patreon, since we have our new software. We’re up to 15. We want 20. So we’re five away. So join, join, join and help us out. We’ve had quite a few people join in the last couple months and it’s actually a community in there. And I wish you could get all our staff. I call them staff, but all our guys on Patreon too. But it only allows for one account, which sucks. So you can’t interact with everybody on the show because there’s too many of them and they won’t give me free accounts. Boo.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
That’s lame.

TIM:
But you can interact with them on whatever social media though. So you’re not limited. You can reach out and you can’t touch them unless they let you. And get in touch with them. And several of our boys will let you touch them. So yay! So yay! So today we’re talking all things beefy boys in underwear since we’re all considered beefy boys. Underwear has its own issues as I can attest and all three of these boys can attest being a beefy boy. We have certain issues. So first I wanna say. Uh, Blaine was posting pictures in a swim thong this week on Twitter, who looked amazing. I just saw that.

Wayne:
Thank you.

TIM:
And you said you didn’t like pools. And look at you, you’re posting a swim thought.

Wayne:
I do not get in the water that often. I will get into a pool, but it cannot be too deep.

TIM:
Oh, I don’t mind deep poles. A friend of mine has a 12 foot pole. It’s an older one and I love it because they can’t touch the bottom. Yay.

Wayne:
Because I’m short, I don’t have that issue.

TIM:
Oh, I do. Everyone’s like, we have a deep end. I’m like, it’s like four feet. I was like, how do you expect me to get wet in four feet?

Wayne:
That’s perfect for me.

TIM:
Well, you can have your four foot pulse. I want the 12 foot. So I’m like, ah. But yes. So let’s talk beefy and underwear. So let’s start off with some of the issues that we have. And I know probably one of them you’ll bring up that I don’t have, which is having a bigger butt, which I don’t have. I was not blessed with that. So I cannot. attest to that, but I know it’s an issue for many. So we’ll start with Will and Ryan. What are your biggest gripes about underwear? Being a beefy guy.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
I think for us, the sizing and all the different lines are all completely different. So when

TIM:
Yes.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
we try something new, we have a tendency to have to like reach out to somebody that we’ve seen wear them. Because I don’t want to have to buy something, try it on and I mean, with underwear, it’s kind of gross to have to return it. Most places I don’t think you’re even allowed to.

TIM:
Not really.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
You can on Amazon. Oh yeah, you can on Amazon though. That’s actually kind of gross. But sometimes

TIM:
Well.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
like the cut on the legs are really small. So

TIM:
Mm-hmm.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
it might fit our waist, but then it’s really tight on the legs. Or there’s the opposite where it might be loose on the legs or the opening the legs and then it’s tighter on the waist. So it’s kind of, it’s hard to sometimes find the even opening on the top and on the bottom. crotch.

TIM:
See, that’s a big issue boys have with butt issues, which I don’t have, unfortunately. I wish I did. I wanted butt issues, but, you know, there’s a sound clip for you. But that happens with boys with butts that, you know, it may fit your butt, but it’s gonna squeeze the front like you got the boys in a vice. Which is not comfortable at all.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
No.

TIM:
So, yeah.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, there have been times before where I’ve put on a pair of underwear or even a speedo or something and I might wear for about an hour and then I was like, okay, I gotta take this off. It’s just not comfortable. It might look cute, but it just doesn’t work.

TIM:
Yeah, I’m familiar with that, I’ve done that. And what about you Wayne? What is your biggest complaint about underwear?

Wayne:
Oh, where to begin?

TIM:
We got plenty of time.

Wayne:
For me, it’s just a lot like there’s not enough room in the butt usually so it ends up giving me a wedging to be honest Or it will ride up and then same problem then if it Has enough room in the back. There’s not enough room in the front and you are in a vice Uh, the other issues for me is it’s just the cut between the legs. I have very wide thighs And so then my thighs rub.

TIM:
Yeah, I remember that from our previous show, you mentioning that and I mentioned it on one of the other shows that I did just recently. Yes. My biggest issue sometimes is the waistband itself. It kind of is either too tight or it gets stretched out, which drives me crazy. And you just wanna punch someone in the throat because actually you have this really cute pair of underwear, a really great one that you spent. $20, $30 on and the waistband looks like you know you played tug of war with it and it’s all messed up and you’re like, boo! I was like, this is supposed to be good underwear. But whatever.

Wayne:
or it squeezes your bladder.

TIM:
Yeah, it can do that, which is not good in any imagination. I don’t think anybody would be into that, but you never know. Never underestimate the power of people.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Sometimes if the waistband is either too tight or too high, it pushes up the muffin top and then it’s just not cute.

TIM:
That’s true

Wayne:
I can

TIM:
too.

Wayne:
attest to that.

TIM:
That is. That’s very true because I have that with some because I’m wearing the Ozzy bomb. What is this? It’s an older one where it’s like sort of a tango brief but it has a wide waistband and it’s higher on the hips. I love the pair but sometimes it just does, you’re just like, oh no, you’re not doing me any favors today.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
I haven’t bought Ossie Bums for a long time that brings back memories

TIM:
Well, they, going back to your sizing issue, they’re extra large used to fit me, but now they’ve gone to 2XL and it’s like, they don’t make half the things in 2XL now that I want. And I’m like, well, that’s my size, but it’s not made in that, which annoys me and annoys me with other brands who don’t go above like 36. Which is kinda crazy to me, especially in the US.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah.

TIM:
Cause you’re missing like, tall boys like me, who I’ll never be a 32 waist. If I do, I’ll look emaciated. Like I can’t eat or something, but I’m a good 36, 38 when I’m in decent shape and it’s like, okay. I can’t wear your underwear because it’s not big enough.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, agreed. We have the same issue.

TIM:
And swimwear, I’ve noticed lately a lot of them are only going up to 36. Cause I looked at stuff, uh, John that’s been on our podcasts. Got the cutest pair of swimwear and I’m like, Oh my God, I want one. And I go look and I’m like, Oh, it’s not be be boy friendly. Boom.

Wayne:
And that just brings to two other issues where maybe it’s that they don’t make enough money off that particular cut or the company doesn’t want that size worn on customers.

TIM:
Yeah, it’s with certain brands, they don’t want the customers wearing it. Um, certain brands I know, but for other brands, I don’t understand why they do it because, you know, some of their customers would definitely buy their underwear if it were as larger than 36. That’s just my opinion. but it doesn’t make sense to me for that. Especially if you do fetish wear and stuff like that, if you don’t go above 36, it’s like, come on now. The boys who like this are definitely bigger size, so.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
It’s also just irritating the fact that there are some companies out there that don’t want certain size people to wear their products. Like that just makes me angry.

TIM:
Yeah, there are. They’ll never admit it. They’re out there. If they’re in the US. But I’ve run across several brands who have no interest in going larger than 36. And there’s some that don’t even go over 34. I’ve seen that before.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Lord, that would barely get across my ankles.

TIM:
Because if you’re like in an Asian country or something, it’s okay. Or it’s generally the sizing is skewed to their culture, their base. And that’s the sizes they sell. That’s where their base. So I get that like in Japan, they have a lot of like 29s, 28s, up to 34s. I get that because you know, you’re you’re not really reaching to sell outside of Japan, but brands in the US should actually look for at least up to 3840, that’s all I’m saying.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, I would agree with that.

TIM:
And then one of the more recent brands that came out with larger sizes was Andrew Christian, which I was surprised by, because I was like, what? So I was surprised they came out with the larger brand. I think they go up to 40, 42 now. I don’t remember, I looked it up, but I forgot.

Wayne:
I will say that brand

TIM:
And I

Wayne:
is

TIM:
know

Wayne:
the

TIM:
there’s.

Wayne:
only brand that covers my ass.

TIM:
Well, they have so many different things and that was a big controversy when it happened last last month. Yeah, we’re in June now so guys were some were going on about Andrew Christian and his Only wanting twinks in it and this and the other but I’m like, you know He’s not he’s not stupid for going for that market because there are a ton of gay boys, but you know and straight boys wearing it now. But that’s just my opinion. So what other issues do you think beefy boys have in underwear? Wayne, you said you had a bunch of them. So what are some other issues you have?

Wayne:
It goes back to the waistband or like what Will and Ryan were saying that you don’t know About ordering it and when you do order it, it doesn’t fit properly. There’s some companies that I just don’t order from anymore Because of those reasons you order it it comes in it’s cut differently. I just ordered a nasty pig Speedo and underwear The speedo works fine the underwear, it looks like a canopy stretched across my ass. It’s just the material’s different. You don’t know what it’s going to look like when you get it in. And then the material going back, it looks like a canopy. You don’t know how it’s going to fit over your ass. So that’s one of the big issues is that I don’t know what it’s going to look like until I get it on.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
So, thank you.

Wayne:
Just because of the volume, the mass, and the size.

TIM:
Yeah, that is… Well, the problem with those is whatever they’re using for their swimwear versus their underwear, their patterns are totally different. And I know certain brands do different ones for different, but other ones use the same. I think Andain uses the same patterns for both because he really doesn’t have an issue with sizing from one thing to another, at least in my experience. I’ve had other people tell me recently otherwise, but I haven’t had any issues with them in the past several years. So I think we need to be consistent. And then… I lost my train of thought. Okay. I was trying to go somewhere and now I derailed. Uh oh. So what else? So swimwear, do you have the same issue with swimwear as you do with underwear? Because I know Wheel and Run, you guys wear a lot of Speedos, swim briefs. Have you experienced that with swimwear or has it been more underwear?

Steaks_N_Cakes:
I would say we probably have more issues with the underwear only because with a Speedo it’s typically more of like a stretchy type material so it doesn’t really we don’t have a much issues. I got butt cleavage in… Well yeah, you still get butt cleavage, yeah. I feel like tuck it in. It depends on how you like… Salt it in.

TIM:
Well, remember, in Japan, they like that, so…

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, I don’t like I don’t I don’t want to see it like I want it all in in the in the suit

TIM:
Well, if you go to Japan, just bring those seats and you’ll be super popular.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
But I guess the problem we have with the bathing suits is if there’s like an actual like Pattern or design on the back It looks cool when it’s not on but then when we put it on and it stretches You see the white kind of bleed through so that it kind of it

TIM:
Oh

Steaks_N_Cakes:
feed they did defeat the purpose of having it

TIM:
The printing,

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah

TIM:
yes, yes, yes. There is a new process they have to do that that doesn’t show the white. I’m not sure how widespread it is, but it takes a little effort to get that, but yeah, I didn’t think

Steaks_N_Cakes:
We

TIM:
of that.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
get that

TIM:
That’s a

Steaks_N_Cakes:
sometimes

TIM:
good one.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
on certain underwear brands. Depending on how intricate the design is on the underwear. Like I think the one that does it the most is Skull and Bones. I love all of their stuff,

TIM:
Okay.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
it’s gorgeous, but when it stretches, the whole color just fades. It’s not as bright

TIM:
Bates.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
as it was before. Cause now you’re seeing the white.

TIM:
Yeah, yeah,

Steaks_N_Cakes:
So

TIM:
yeah.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
I don’t know if there’s a way to like, bleed in the color into the actual material. I have no idea. I don’t make clothes, so I’m not sure how that works.

TIM:
I was, it was explained to me, somebody does it where it’s, even if you stretch it, it won’t turn white. And I don’t remember who it was. It was in Vegas one year and they all bleed together at this point. But yeah, you can, you can do that, but I think it’s more expensive. Like everything else

Steaks_N_Cakes:
I

TIM:
in

Steaks_N_Cakes:
mean,

TIM:
the world.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
if it’s going to be more expensive and I know it’s going to fit and it’s not going to look a certain way, then I’m willing to spend a little bit more.

TIM:
Yeah.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
But I don’t know if everybody else

TIM:
Hi.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
is like that though. So I understand, you know, if there’s not a market for it, they’re not gonna do it.

TIM:
True, true, true. What about you Wayne? Do you have issues with swimwear as well or is it just underwear?

Wayne:
I’ve only had one or two issues with swimwear. One was that it wasn’t cut properly in the front to fit anything. And then the other one actually had a buckle on the side and the company advertised it as a large. I ended up giving it away to someone because even if I lost weight, I would never fit into that large. And it was a US size large. So I don’t know if it was intentional to be made that way or a mistake, but it just had the side buckle on it and that’s only two issues that I’ve had with swimwear.

TIM:
Okay, so it’s more underwear than swimwear. That’s good to know. And if your beefy boys out there have similar issues, drop us a line. Let us know. We’ll report back. So who are your favorite brands? Who are the brands you know doing it great for beefy boys, for everyone? You can mention swimwear and underwear or just underwear. It doesn’t really matter. What about you, Wayne? Who are your favorites that you go to all the

Wayne:
So

TIM:
time?

Wayne:
for swimwear, it would be Nasty Pig and then Andrew Christian. It just goes

TIM:
OK.

Wayne:
around my bubble butt just fine and everything fits right. My current favorite would be the menswear thong that I have. I get a lot of compliments on that one. It’s probably because I have a big bubble butt that came out of it. And then for underwear, I’d have to say Nasty Pig probably has a 95% success rate with me. When it comes to their products,

TIM:
Okay.

Wayne:
I’ve learned which product, which cut, what style will fit me, so I’m not making a mistake when I purchase it.

TIM:
What about you boys? What do you guys love?

Steaks_N_Cakes:
For bathing suits, I believe the ones that we’re wearing the most right now are MCE, which I think they’re based in Texas.

TIM:
Mm-hmm.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
And I believe that they’re made for bigger guys, and so they go up really

TIM:
Yes.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
larger sizes. And I like their sizing because they make, when I order a size from them, I feel like I’m smaller because they have everything slightly higher. So even just

TIM:
Mm-hmm.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
like a mental thing, it’s like, ooh, I feel tiny.

TIM:
You’re like, I’m a large in this, not an extra

Steaks_N_Cakes:
So

TIM:
large.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
their stuff is really comfortable. And then Thicc, I believe, is the other one that we do. Their

TIM:
Mm-hmm.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
speedos are really, really comfortable. And they always repost our shit when we, oh, pardon, can I please say? They always repost our stuff. So, yeah, I think that’s it for this video. If you enjoyed it, please like, subscribe, and leave a comment below. And if you have any questions, please leave a comment below.

TIM:
Yes, you can you can you can say those words on the podcast we have the explicit warning

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Okay, I don’t. I was just I was making sure but yeah, the thick is nice because they always repost our stuff when we tag them and I’m like, oh, that’s so nice.

TIM:
They are good about that. They’re their customer, I think, is the beefy boy. Also, MC definitely goes after the beefy boy. I have some of their stuff as well and love it. My favorites lately have been cock socks, which I always love because I like the pouch. It’s and they fit really well and hold up. I think their largest are. Perfect, our extra larges are perfect. And try to think of a look and swimwear. I haven’t been swimming because I’m not near an ocean or a pool lately. So I haven’t really gone anywhere. Although I did get the cute end to end flamingo swim brief this year. So I’m very happy about that one. I just need somewhere to wear it.

Wayne:
I love flamingos.

TIM:
Yay. Me too, that’s why I got it, because I told Andrew that I was upset I missed the one last year, and I was like, I’m so bummed, and he goes, well, we have something coming up for you, Memorial Day weekend. And well, Saturday morning that weekend, I just got up bright and early, and at 8 a.m., I went and bought it, and that’s before the email came out. So I was like, ta-da! So flamingos are my happy animal. So I have there and I’m trying to think who else, so where do I have? I don’t remember. I definitely need to try thick because that one’s been on my list for a while. I do like

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Their

TIM:
it.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
designs are fun.

TIM:
Yeah, I like what they do. Do you guys, we know Wayne wears swim thongs since he posted his picture in it. Do you guys wear thongs as well on the beach or is it just the reefs?

Steaks_N_Cakes:
We have, I think, one from MCE, but we’ve never actually gone to a beach and actually worn a swim trunks. So that would be something that we’re probably gonna have to start doing this year. But I’ve always seen them and they look cool. It’s just a swim trunks doesn’t exactly fit the same way as like a regular underwear song. We haven’t

TIM:
Mm-hmm.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
gotten any gay pool parties or gay beach in a long time. Well, that too. No, we totally haven’t.

TIM:
What? You’re in… you’re having pride there this weekend somewhere.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, we’re going next. Yeah, that’s this weekend is WeHo Pride. And then next weekend is LA Pride. They just they think they separated it last year. But LA Pride next weekend, Mariah Carey’s headlining. So we are so excited

TIM:
Ohhhh…

Steaks_N_Cakes:
that we’re going to see her.

TIM:
See, our pride is not until October. Because stupid people in the city of Atlanta. But yeah, so ours is until like the first weekend in October. So we won’t have any fun, Skimpy, here, because it’ll be kind of… not warm. So it’s like, boo, we need to move it back to June.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Oh yeah, it’s better to be in the warm time.

TIM:
But it was always, you know, the last weekend in June when Pride’s supposed to be. And then we had our drought and they’re like, well, you can only have one big event in the park at a time, a quarter, and that’s going to be the road race. So you got to move yours to October.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
That’s homophobic. Ugh.

TIM:
Well, then they have these giant concerts with a bazillion, like 200,000 people in the in the park that ruined the grass. And I’m like, Wait, we have less people for pride and you have this thing to raise money for the park and you destroy it and then you probably have to use half the money to replace it? It’s like, whatever.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, that’s down tomaphobic to me

TIM:
I would say so too, but I’m not in the city of Atlanta proper so I don’t get a say. But I’m not really upset over that, but you know. Yeah. So do you guys do anything, you guys like jocks? What are your favorite jocks for beefy boys? Because you’re posting in the gym a lot and everywhere basically because you boys are I think you’re gonna become the next Stevie posting pictures because he’s posting them everywhere, in everything, jocks, thongs, you name it. He’s there, he’s proud, he’s an adorable boy. And that’s why I love Stevie. But what are some of your favorite jocks?

Steaks_N_Cakes:
I would say for us, what do we have in the drawer right now that we wear? Meat is one, two exists and thick. Are the ones that we wear probably on a regular basis.

TIM:
See, 2xist is one of those brands that you forget about every so often because you’re used to them because they’ve been around for forever

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah.

TIM:
and you look at them like now and I’m like, ooh, that’s cute, look at that, ooh, that’s cute too, look at there. So I need to look more into

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Well, the

TIM:
them.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
reason we like them is their fit has never really changed. And

TIM:
Mm-hmm.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
so even buying it now, it still feels the same like when I was in high school. Like I’m just maybe a little thicker, actually probably a lot thicker now than I was then. Um, but

TIM:
Me

Steaks_N_Cakes:
they,

TIM:
too.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
I mean, they, they still feel comfortable. Like they don’t dig into your skin. The waist is a perfect size. Um, I mean, they’ve been coming out with. Pride lines every year and then they started selling to exist pride at Macy’s which is really cool We’ve seen it there

TIM:
I have to… I don’t… I don’t go to the mall so I can’t tell you if we sell it here. Because they used to sell all the good stuff at Linux where all the gay boys used to go and everyone else was kind of like left out but I don’t know. So I need to check that out. And what about you Wayne? What are your favorite jocks? Because I know you wear jocks because one of my favorite pictures of you, you have a jock on.

Wayne:
So

TIM:
What are yours?

Wayne:
I don’t actually wear that many jocks to the gym. I think jocks are used for other things, if you know what I mean.

TIM:
You like

Wayne:
I

TIM:
the

Wayne:
do.

TIM:
extracurricular

Wayne:
So

TIM:
activities.

Wayne:
I.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Let’s still work it out.

TIM:
That’s cardio.

Wayne:
But I do not wear them to the gym. But my favorites I will have to say, it depends on the nasty pig cut. It really depends on it. Then I like their skin. I think those two. I have two jocks from them. It’s the old style

TIM:
Mm-hmm.

Wayne:
and those are my favorite. I do think other companies make that same old style and they just slap a label on it. I’m gonna be honest. I’m not calling anyone out but they all look very similar. So go for them. But those are probably my all-time favorite. is going to be that old style jockstrap and then go ahead

TIM:
you like the thick

Wayne:
For

TIM:
waistband

Wayne:
extracurricular

TIM:
traditional job.

Wayne:
activities, yes. but for

TIM:
Good, good.

Wayne:
lifting right now I use my meat jock straps because as much as I like the meat materials those aren’t my favorite jock straps they’re just not as comfortable as I thought they would be.

TIM:
You know, working out and extracurricular activities are two totally different things, so I could see that.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah,

TIM:
Yeah.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
meat used to be not uncomfortable, but once we lost a little bit of weight, they got a little bit better. So I guess that kind of defeats the purpose of being beefy if they don’t fit.

TIM:
bright. You know, I like, I like a mix of the traditional and the regular, and I’ve never been let down by bike. So I kind of like those for the old school traditional. And then, uh, Coxox makes a really good jock. Oh my God. It’s my top, top 10 or top five. And then ergo wears the other one. I like a good pouch. What can I say? That’s my downfall. I will buy anything with a good pouch.

Wayne:
That’s the most important part to Jock.

TIM:
Yeah, that’s pretty much the only part to a dog to hold it in. If you fall out, you got an issue with your dog. Just saying. Just saying. Any other issues you boys have, anything stick out that you want to say, hey, Brands, why are you doing this?

Wayne:
So

TIM:
Anyone,

Wayne:
one thing

TIM:
anyone?

Wayne:
I do not like about jocks, and I have to be careful on what I order, is how they use the straps on them and where they’re located. Because what they’re doing, which works for the people that are not beefy, but if you have a big behind, they’re going to be too tight. And what they’re trying to do is lift people

TIM:
Mm-hmm.

Wayne:
that don’t have a butt. And it does not work for the people that do have one. So that’s an issue with me. I can’t wear everything. There is one company. I’m not going to say their name, but I don’t. Yeah,

TIM:
He can tell us afterwards.

Wayne:
I don’t like their jocks because it’s made to lift a small bottom.

TIM:
That’s a good point because there are certain ways to do jocks because if you look at the traditional, you sew it into the side and it goes down. And I had this, I’ve told this before on the podcast, but I had this Calvin Klein jock years ago, many years ago, that all they did was sew the two sides on and then they sort of made a V with the elastic and attached it to the pouch and it came off. So I just have a pouch with a strap on it. And I was like, this kind of defeats the purpose of a jock. But yeah, you want them to attach the jock to the pouch, both sides, not just in the middle where they bunch it up, because those always break on me. They suck. Sorry if you make yours that way, but they

Wayne:
My

TIM:
do.

Wayne:
personal favorite

TIM:
Just

Wayne:
one was

TIM:
saying.

Wayne:
a company used a ring to put between the strap and the connection and so it actually moves when you walk.

TIM:
Huh?

Wayne:
So I do like that option. That’s probably my favorite technique that a company has used.

TIM:
What brand was that?

Wayne:
It was Griffpup.

TIM:
Oh, I’ve not tried that. That sounds very interesting. I’m gonna have to check that out.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
I haven’t tried that either, so I might have to look at that too.

TIM:
you boys in the jocks, because you are gym jock boys.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
My ass get in the air.

TIM:
Well, we see that and we all appreciate it, I think, because I don’t know anyone complaining,

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Or

TIM:
especially when you voice post pictures.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
is it… Yeah, I think that that’s the thing too, is like depending on how they sew the strap to the waistband,

TIM:
Mm-hmm.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
sometimes if it’s not, like, if they just kind of strapped on there quickly and it’s more of like a a fashion jock, again, for someone who’s not really that gifted in the behind area, that tends to, you know, detach or unravel very quickly.

TIM:
Yeah. That’s one thing, though, that a lot of brands don’t address, which you think they would, is having a beefy butt or a bubble butt. Because we have all these different pouches. We have large pouches, extra large pouches, small pouches. But we rarely see anything for the butt. And it’s been that way for years.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, and I mean, I don’t expect the underwear to last forever. I get it. It’s going to eventually wear and tear, but I don’t want it to, like, snap off like after the second time I wear it.

TIM:
You’re not buying disposable underwear.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
No, that’s typically stuff that you buy on Amazon. That’s like $5.

TIM:
Yeah, because I had someone send me a message today that they wanted to buy white briefs for their followers and he brought up that he, uh, the problem was washing them and keeping them pristine white. I’m like, just throw them away after each use. They’re cheap enough.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
You

TIM:
I don’t

Steaks_N_Cakes:
sound

TIM:
know.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
like Patrick throwing away underwear.

TIM:
I don’t normally condone it, but like, fruit of the loon, white briefs, come on now.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Oh yeah, those are pretty old school.

TIM:
They’re, you can get six for like 20 bucks, you can just throw them away. You don’t have to. Or you can find someone who would want them. I’m just saying.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yep, you could. We’ve had people

TIM:
and

Steaks_N_Cakes:
do that with us before.

TIM:
Patrick should know about that. Now he’s breaking the law because you can’t throw away underwear in Massachusetts. So He’s a rule breaker and a law breaker I guess that’ll wrap up our show. We’re already got a good amount. We’ll definitely have more of these. We’re gonna try to do these at least a quarter. Hopefully we’ll have Stevie back as well because he’s our resident BV boy who shows it all off and the boy is amazing and both all three of these boys show off. I’m the only one who doesn’t because I’m shy. Yeah, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. So tell everyone where they can find you, Ryan and Will.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, so we’re on Instagram and we actually just recently changed our name. So

TIM:
I know.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
we used to be too beefy, too thick, and then we decided to change it to steaks and cakes because we are serving dinner and dessert.

TIM:
Ooh,

Steaks_N_Cakes:
And it’s stakes underscore

TIM:
okay.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
the letter N and then underscore and then cakes, stakes and cakes.

TIM:
So if you’re not following them, I highly recommend you go follow them because they are awesome. And you’ll see a lot of jocks.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, we have more racier

TIM:
Just

Steaks_N_Cakes:
stuff

TIM:
saying.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
on Twitter. I don’t know if we changed our Twitter. Did we change that yet? No, I think Twitter’s still too beefy, too thick. That’s still the same.

TIM:
Everyone’s right to your stuff on Twitter because Instagram’s a brood.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah, Instagram’s getting kind of homophobic.

TIM:
kid and it’s true colors is coming out if you ask me

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yup.

TIM:
but. What about you Wayne, where can they find you at on

Wayne:
On

TIM:
the

Wayne:

TIM:
interwebs?

Wayne:
I am Texan underscore renegade and on Twitter I am Tejas underscore renegade. On Twitter I do have more of my jockstraps from the back view and thongs because once again the metaverse is not gay friendly.

TIM:
No. And I will say that his cakes do look pretty good. I’m just saying, that picture he posted today.

Steaks_N_Cakes:

Wayne:
Oh that does sound fun.

TIM:
Uh oh, Disney Day. You’ll need a loan to do Disney Day, but it’s like Disney World. Ugh. It’s too expensive

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Yeah,

TIM:
now.

Steaks_N_Cakes:
Disneyland is not as bad as Disney World, but it’s getting close.

TIM:
Well, it’s what gets Stevie to give us the rundown on Disney, because I don’t know where he stayed, but I know he did like he did the bear pull party and boys are wearing their thongs at the bear pull party. So that makes me happy that beefy boys are wearing whatever they want to now. Yeah. And he went to the parks I saw and I’m just like, I’m living my best life through Stevie because. I’m now. Could be classified a home shut-in, so yay. Anybody wanna bring me meals on wheels, feel free. So you can find me at UMBTEM on everything, Instagram, Twitter, Mastodon, you name it, I’m on all of it right now, so yay. Well, thank you boys for coming on. We’ll have you all back soon and you’ll hear Will and Ryan and possibly Wayne on our group show at the end of the month. So stay tuned for that and we’ll have another podcast hopefully next week. I have some in the works and we should be back on a regular schedule people. Have a good one. Bye

I put out a call to find someone in Japan and in the stories of Elliot Norris I saw him with Sai. He’s a go-go dance in Japan. I looked up his IG profile and saw that he posted in english and thought I may have found my guy in Japan to interview. I reached out and he agreed!!!

First off, Sai is amazing and really told us about his love of underwear and how underwear is perceived in Japan. We learn about two companies one is called Edge and the other is GX3. We also find out about the fundoshi, and what it’s all about. Lastly we find out about the Go-go boy culture in Japan.

I can’t wait to get Sai on another show. I think there is way more we can talk about and learn from the Japanese underwear market and seeing a different point of view!!!

Masculinity refers to the set of qualities, behaviors, and roles typically associated with men, such as strength, assertiveness, and independence. It can vary across cultures and individuals. Scott and I break down masculinity and how it applies to the world of men’s underwear.

Masculinity isn’t limited to one sexual orientation. It’s across the sexual spectrum and we all react different to having our masculinity questioned. It’s a joy to talk to Scott because he doesn’t let an article of clothing, an activity, or what other people define him or his masculinity.

We’d love to hear your take on masculinity, reach out and let’s chat.

We welcome back Julio from Ikakos to talk about his amazing new collection. The latest collection of men’s swimwear from Ikakos that features bright, bold, and fun designs. These swimsuits are perfect for making a statement at the beach or pool. The new collection features swim briefs and shorts. You can pair them to wear together or wear them separately. He goes into details about the new prints and what were some of the inspiration behind them.

It’s always great to welcome Ikakos back to the show. Go buy some of the swimwear because we, meaning me, decided you need 3 new pairs of swimwear every season!

Join Stevie (aka UndiesCub) and myself (UNBTime) as we discuss how the jockstrap was invented in the late 1800s to provide support for bike jockeys riding on bumpy roads. It became popular among athletes in various sports and was even used as a medical device for hernia support. The history of the jockstrap has been documented in various articles and books, and this podcast is dedicated to exploring its origins and evolution.

Fun Fact it was invented in Boston close to where Stevie is located. We talk more about jocks, cups and more. This is a first in the Brief History series. We will be bringing you much more history about men’s underwear in every episode. Send in what you want to hear us talk about or any interesting articles, videos, or facts that we should look into and include on future podcasts.

Who doesn’t love underwear, swim briefs, and working out in spandex? Well our next guest on the Brief Talk Podcast is JD Fitness 2023 who is a fan of all these things. I spotted him on IG and with all his pics he posted I had to have him on the show.

He talks about his journey through his love of underwear, why he wears spandex to the gym and now swim briefs. He’s a really incredible guy and It’s one of the longer Brief Tale shows, but I think you guys will love to hear from him. He has a lot to say and was a joy to have on the show.

Making friends and navigating social media is always fun. Andy, Erick and myself talk about social media and communication. There is a lot of uncertainty with social media with some of the regulations/rules they have that affect men’s underwear. Erik recently got hit by the Twitter image violation, the first time in months since I heard anyone hit by it. 

We talk about what sites we like and get the most interaction on and how to post on those sites. We also talk alternative sites such as Hive, Mastodon, and the rebirth of Tumblr. In our discussion we asked you guys to share with us your opinion on social media sites and if you are using the new sites.

Then once he met his husband how he converted him to a spandex guy. It’s a really fun conversation I had and we definitely want Stephen back on the show for future spandex shows. 

This is a podcast that is very NSFW. We do talk adult content aka sex! So if you are at work put on headphones or don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Are you ready for a podcast that goes deep and talks many subjects? This brief tale featuring Scott AKA theepursuitofselflove on IG is one for you to check out.

Scott also tells about the time he Thonged at Wet Republic in Vegas before the current trend of this past summer. It’s a great story.

We are joined by our resident bisexual stud Patrick. We sit down to have a real and honest discussion about issues facing bi guys in the world of underwear and also touching on issues straight guys have as well. This show was supposed to be a 15-20 min show to introduce this segment and well we went for almost an hour! It’s so easy to talk to Patrick, that’s what we did. This has to be one of my favorite podcasts in a while. Talking real issues is not for everyone but I hope you will listen and if you are a bi or straight guy please reach out and get on the show. I think those perspectives need more attention in the world of underwear. We all have issues so let’s address them!

Both of these boys rock the swim briefs or less every time they go to the pool or beach. 

Make sure you post in the comments or send us a message what you will be wearing this summer. Will you be wearing a swim brief? A Thong? Nothing? Let us know and also let us know where you go to wear your swimwear. We always love to share swim brief and swim thong friendly places with guys wanting to wear either pair for the first time!

This is a podcast I recorded last year! I thought I posted it last year but after an exhaustive search of UNB it was not posted. I have no clue other than it slipped through the cracks, but we have this Brief Tale with Chris aka ChiThonger. You may hear that he has a few different social but we have his current IG account linked below (unless IG deletes it again). Here you will hear the story of his moving and how he discovered his love of undies and thongs.

Do you have an underwear budget? We have come to the conclusion that no one at UNB has one of those. We talk about our budgets, which brands we pay full price, the most expensive pair we bought and Patrick pulls out the big question at the end, “How do you set an underwear budget?”

Here are the pairs that were given to each guy. We started with Chris and then each guy who gave the undies or gear revealed what they received.

Tim, Andy, and Erik are on the show to talk about how GQ/Men’s health magazines always include super basic undies in their top 10 lists for underwear. We think they are playing it too safe and anytime you get underwear in anything larger than a 3 pack you’re in trouble. 

We also are starting the UNB Concierge service where you tell us what you are after and we’ll find you underwear that matches your needs. We are sure between the three of use we can find what you love.

Our Pride show this year is about how the Underwear Community brings us all together. We have a group show, it’s been a while since we had one! We are joined by Andy, Erik, Patrick, Cody and two new members Will & Ryan (aka 2beefy2thicc) 

It fair to say we all love being in the underwear community and it’s brought us so many friends and new experiences. We thank social media for bringing us together in this amazing space.

It’s another show but a sort of cross over of the regular show and the thong show. I have two amazing thongs, Andy and Erik, tell where they have gone thonging. Also we have them say where they want to go thonging. But we have a bonus topic in the show and find out exactly how to get the best tan line. Both guys are tanning experts. 

Enjoy this OG show with some great tips!

The tables are turned on Tim, the man behind the podcast is interviewed by Andy! All the questions he asked of all the previous Brief Tales, he gets to answer. Andy does an awesome job in interviewing Tim. It is by far one of Tim’s favorite shows. 

Learn more about Tim and how he got his obsession with Underwaer and led him to start UNB and the UNB Store.

We are joined by DC Undies Fan, aka Austin, and we talk to him on how he became a big fan of undies. We also talk about his journey and how he evolved through his love of underwear. I also wanted to find out why he started his blog and what made him become an underwear blogger! 

He has an amazing tale and wears so many different styles of undies. He continues to get new undies and try new things.
