Let’s Get Bread

Sometimes a movie can open your eyes to the beauty of the world. It can show you something you’d never imagined, open windows onto experiences you’d never dreamed possible. But other times, movies will reveal to you that YOU are GAY. You are SO GAY and there’s NO going back. This week the boys talk over gay awakenings in film; classics, cult classics, camp, and cultural touchstones that told us we, your hosts, are irretrievably gay.

This week on Let’s Get Bread, we’re talking about getting fired, the fantasy of quitting before you get laid off, and the very real dream of having enough money that employment becomes more of a fun suggestion than a requirement. If you are a future employer creeping on either of the hosts, this episode was recorded by AI bots. ENJOY!

Have you ever received critique? Ever been criticized? Then this week's for you! Sometimes a critique sticks, sometimes it's earned, and sometimes it's completely unfair. We dive in to figure out how to gracefully accept notes, how not to react when someone offers feedback, and give each other some less-than-helpful critiques.

This week the boys look back on their own and others' to wonder, hey, was that rude? Whether you're dealing with friends, roommates, lovers, or enemies, you can't just be rude all the time. We discuss who should be on time, when to ask permission, and get a little closer to helping the world be a better, kinder place. Start with the fork on the outside and work your way in!

This week on Let's Get Bread, everyone's favorite ring-obsessed icon joins us to discuss adjusting to life in Los Angeles, the shocking state of modern men, dating apps, influencer culture, creepy DMs, Erewhon, therapy, and why the Valley is somehow worse than Mordor.
It's our most unhinged episode yet with filled with enough precious moments to make even Sauron hit subscribe. If you see a Gollum in real life, do not approach it. Turn around and run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.

This week the boys reconnect with an old flame. The one who got away. The one woman we've ever seen where we just knew: this girl has IT. And the dame in question is Jamie Wang! We discuss cultural differences, how bad American Chinese food is, comedy in your second language, New York, and the Immigrant Experience (TM). Now go on, be good boys and girls and follow her @jamiewangcomedy! Broaden your horizons!

In the age where it's all too easy to get lost in the crowd, some people overcorrect and become pick-me's. The phenomenon of the pick-me is one we're unfortunately all too familiar with, and one that's not going anywhere anytime soon. The boys sit down with Tik Tok titan Danisha Carter (@danisha.carter) to talk about what makes a pick-me, how to recover if you become one, and what  can happen if pick-me syndrome goes untreated. So don't let your loved ones become lolcows; tune in and find out what's really driving the pick-me plague before it's too late.

Fellas, is it gay to have heroes? This week the boys dive into heroes. The worship, the disillusionment, and what happens when your heroes become the villain. (Lookin’ at you, Roseanne Barr.) Join us as we crack open a complicated topic and discover just what would REALLY turn Everett off from Azealia Banks permanently, and why it’s kind of ok to have a hero, just don’t be weird about it.

True crime! Who's got it, who wants it? Turns out Everett doesn't, and Lucas loves it. We talk splashy, sensationalized, serialized murder cases. The ones that get the Ryan Murphy treatment and the ones that don't-- Chris Watts, Aileen Wuornos, Kaitlin Armstrong, McKenzie Shirilla, and of course, Dahmer. Whichever your favorite guilty pleasure or verdict was, chances are you should talk to Lucas about it because this episode gave Everett a case of the sads. Strap in!

This week the boys ask: are the men lonely enough? What's happened to men, why are they, what drives them, and where were they on January 6th? We explore what it means to perform straightness, blurring the lines of seggsuality, who's more likely to do the dishes, how bad modern fashion has led to more crushes on straight men per capita than any other period before.
