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.
In this podcast, we are joined by a male model and all-around nice guy Hal Kourtney. I found him on Instagram and loved all of the pictures he posted! After reaching out, he agreed to chat with us on the podcast.
Hal is a super fun guy, and I enjoyed interviewing him. He’s a down-to-earth guy with a great sense of humor. We had a great convo about his modeling and underwear. We also discovered he has an Only Fans and is part of the LGBT+ Community!
Listen and follow him on social media.

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.

We are talking the Tighty Whities, the classic white briefs we all know and some of us love. I have two white brief guys on the show, Cody Chambers and Eric aka TheJockerRoom. We talk about why the style is the step-child of underwear lovers, some of the kinks involved, and what is a white brief.
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.
I wanted to touch base with you guys about some things behind the scenes and some things that I want to get your help on so we can focus on making amazing shows for you guy. I talk about Masculinity, sexuality, community and more. Each month or few weeks I’ll put out a short show about one topic and send your feedback in to me!

We bring you another Brief Tale! On this episode we have Eric aka TheJockerRoom from instagram. He’s your average guy who’s got a huge passion for underwear. He rocks everything from tighty whities to thongs! He’s got an amazing collection and a huge amazing smile to match.
Learn how he discovered his love of underwear and what styles and pairs he loves now. And there may be something in there that had to deal with talking about underwear with a family member (I know, RIGHT?!). All I have to say is I’m super jealous over this!
Model Dominic Albano just launched underwear line in January 2023. Dominic has been modeling all over the world for the past decade, but he nows brings his expertise from modeling and the fashion industry to create his own unique style and vision, respectively, based on his idea of what men need for comfort and aesthetics.
He joins the podcast to tell us about this new underwear collection. We talk about what made him launch a line.I love it when a brand owner comes on the podcast to hear from the directly from them and the passion for their brands. Dominic brings that enthusiasm to the podcast and you may learn a few new things about him.
One of the best booties on Twitter has come on to join us on the podcast. Midwestbootyboy tells us how he became a big fan of underwear including jocks and thongs. Being in Kansas didn’t make it easy but he has gone on to have a great collection and you get to know more about this amazing guy!
We are joined by one half of the kings of spandex, the Bricklayer1001’s Stephen. We delve into the amazing world of spandex. We talk about how he got started in loving spandex as a young lad. 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.

I am joined by Brad from the Spandex show and we have a discussion about singlets. This is the first of many more spandex shows to come. We both share our favorite singlets. Then give advice on getting the right size in singlets and more
We have the last thong show for 2022. We are joined by the original gang from the thong show. We have Andy, Erik, and Al. All three started back in the day on the show. This episode we talk the future of thongs, including underwear and swimwear. Do we think thongs will be around as undies and swimwear? Are they going to go away? Listen to what we have to say about the style.
We are back for another Secret Santa Podcast. We have our usual suspects and a new guy (the other Andy) and we are buying undies for each other. Here were the rules this year:
Here are the rules of the Secret Santa
No trading who you are buying for once assigned, that’s your guy
Do not open your package before the show (you may pre open the day of the recording) we want your reaction when you open your package
Only buy one pair of underwear.
One person will be chosen at random to start. They will open their package
After opening try to guess who had your name.
The person who bought that person pair will open their package, and so on
I’m joined by Patrick where we have a talk about normalizing underwear. We talk about normalizing undies with kids, friends, family and more. It shouldn’t be a taboo thing we should hide from all those people and we both think we need to start having conversations about great underwear and more.
Give it a listen.

We have a new Brief Tale featuring Cody Chambers from Instagram. If you follow him you know he loves a wide range of underwear from thongs to boxers, yes we said boxers but not what you think. Cody also has one of the most incredible swim brief tan lines and he shows it off on IG quite a bit! He was super fun to talk to and have on the show.
I came across Adam on TikTok. He had a fun page but then added his Only Fans and talked about selling his undies. He had a series of TikTok’s about discovering the in’s and out’s of selling his underwear online. We have talked about this so many times on the podcast and figured we needed to get someone on to talk more about it.
Adam was so much fun to talk to on the show. He’s as funny as he is hot! Hear how he got started and how the selling of the used undies market is going for him! I hope to have him back on the show soon!
If you are familiar with our Thong show we have a show all about jocks. I brought on two of our experts in jocks, Jay Aka (Justanotherboyhere) and Snatch & Gym Jocks to have a conversation about this classic piece of men’s underwear. We talk about when we wear the jock, what some of our favorite jocks are and a lot more. If you love this show about jocks and want to hear more let us know. We can go into much more detail into so many topics, sending what you want to hear us talk about.
