This week, Zach catches up with his friend David — who came out at 52 to his wife, three sons, and his entire family — and reflects on how the episode they recorded together has resonated far beyond what either of them expected. People are sliding into David's DMs with their own stories, their own fears, and their own coming-out timelines. And that, Zach says, is exactly what this podcast is for. But that's just the warm-up. Zach takes you along for a night out in Boston that ends up at Club Cafe forty minutes before last call — and things get interesting. There are groping twinks, a man from a throuple who definitely got broken up with that night, a mysterious personality transplant between two bars, and a lost $700 necklace from a previous night out that will haunt Zach forever. It's a lot. In the middle of all of it, Zach's podcast advisor drops some real talk: when people start recognizing you in bars because of your show, you have to be more careful. Zach's wrestling with that — because he's never been someone who lets things slide, and he's not sure he wants to start now. He's trying. He's really trying. The episode wraps with Zach sharing that he IS going to Provincetown this August (plot twist: he wasn't going to), a reality check on how expensive P-Town actually is, and news that Crown & Anchor and Governor Bradford's are both going through major changes.","meta_description":"It's The Gay Bit — Episode 11 — and Zach is back with his Friday solo show, where all the gayness your week was missing finally gets its moment.
