    There were a lot of mixed feelings on this one. We read Rebecca Ross' latest release, Wild Reverence, the prequel to the Divine Rival series.

  • BOY OF THE YEAR 2025 | a hottie-off showdown extravaganza

    BOY OF THE YEAR 2025 | a hottie-off showdown extravaganza
    Dec 16 2025

    16 boys. 1 winner. And like 5 flops. It's showdown time! We had so many good candidates for our "white boy of the year" that we expanded it into an episode (and expanded outside of white boys, lol). Our boys go head-to-head in a bracket until we get a winner based on performance, charisma, permeation of pop culture, and mostly vibes.
