Not Well

Bobby, Jim & Friends

 Bobby and Jim have been doing this for seven years and they're only getting worse. Gay life, American dysfunction, travel chaos, unhinged takes on the news, and conversations that start at foreskin philosophy and end at the collapse of civilization. May cause uncontrolled laughter, sarcasm, and existential dread. You've been warned.

    There Is No Left Field for Gays

    Send us Fan Mail Bobby and Jim are back, better lit and somehow less well. This week starts exactly where any respectable podcast should: Penny the dog is on hormones, hot tubs become a public-health concern, and Jim introduces Bobby to the gay “sniff test.” From there, they investigate why there is apparently no such thing as “out of left field” between gay men, the declining strength of gay-bar pours, and why Bobby can organize everyone’s life except his own. Then Bobby returns from Finland, Estonia, Sweden and Ireland with questions. Why does Europe have trains, ferries and functioning public transportation while America has beige? Why was there unlimited wine coming out of a TAP on a Baltic ferry? And how did seeing Armin van Buuren underneath a bridge become one of the classiest parts of the trip? Also: realizing you were hotter at 28 than you knew, the chaos surrounding a canceled gay cruise, airplane bathroom crimes against humanity, and a surprisingly sincere conversation about why everyone is so terrified of turning 40. It’s sex, travel, aging, gay culture, bad decisions and several arguments nobody asked us to solve. Welcome back to NOT WELL. ⚠️ Explicit. Very explicit.

    I'm from Ohio. Works every time.

    Send us Fan Mail Bobby and Jim reconvene after five weeks off air with a full backlog of grievances. This episode covers: a TSA bag-policy standoff that ends in an Uber round trip, a full-body scanner conspiracy theory, and a 70-year-old woman on a Portland train who picks the exact seats she complained about. There's a public transit fare dodge that runs on the strength of "I'm from Ohio" alone, a Dawn Lemon–scented product pitch nobody asked for, and a Wendy's drive-thru order that goes fully off the rails over the word "sauce." Also featured: an alpha-male crying-in-a-pool video, an anatomy lecture that gets way more technical than expected, the dumbest motorcycles in America, and a geopolitics tangent that starts at Lake Ontario and ends at Venezuelan oil. Sundries include: the worst kind of biker, the case for renaming absolutely nothing, and why lying is a permanent bridge-burner. Explicit language throughout.

    Nothing’s gonna save us—not music, fashion, film, or this podcast.

    Send us Fan Mail After acknowledging a broken recording and their general exhaustion, Bobby and Jim talk through a frightening health scare involving Penny, the uncertainty it creates around an upcoming Seattle and Portland trip, and the strangely clarifying experience of confronting the possible loss of a pet. From there, the episode becomes a fast-moving tour through their shared obsessions and grievances: a handwritten invitation to a Bible drama, tax-free churches and imaginary missionary safaris, gorillas and emotionally devastating octopuses, and a phrase that supposedly makes anyone sound as if they are speaking in tongues. The centerpiece is their postmortem of a nude camping trip. Bobby explains why camping’s endless transitions and tiny logistical steps are incompatible with his brain, while both hosts relive the pool, rain, a blood-pressure scare, an overenthusiastic horse-whip performer, unwanted homemade alcohol, and petty campground authority. The conversation then shifts into sex, Charli XCX, nightlife fatigue, fake-feeling DJs, video-game escapism, creative stagnation, money, housing, and the search for joy in ordinary rituals. The final stretch covers political spectacle, stomach trouble, Palm Springs sugar-daddy fantasies, the illusion of happiness, a suspected neighborhood stalker, strangers forcing shots on people, furry nightlife, and the looming Seattle trip. Beneath the jokes is a surprisingly cohesive question: when the old forms of fun stop working, how do you build a life that feels alive again?

    I just want to lay there and have someone else be like, 'I'm having fun.'"

    Send us Fan Mail Are we officially getting too old for this? In this wonderfully chaotic episode of Not Well, Bobby and Jim dive headfirst into the sheer exhaustion of aging out of the nightlife scene. Grab a Coke Zero and buckle up as the guys roast the absolute state of modern Pride month—lamenting how grassroots community celebrations have been tragically replaced by corporate banks tossing cheap beads from parade floats. From dissecting Gen Z's "grungy" aesthetic to surviving the physical toll of midnight clubbing, the boys are unapologetically embracing their limits and leaning into a life of avoiding discomfort at all costs. It’s a messy, fast-paced, and wildly unhinged conversation that goes off the rails in the best way possible. What we're getting into this week: Submarines in the Sky: Why flying is terrifying and why you have a nerve to fall asleep on a plane.Corporate Pride: We don't need to march with a banner for a bank. We're over it.The AI Trump Love Song: A terrifyingly catchy AI-generated track that we can't unhear.The Gen Z Grudge: Dissecting the grungy, mullet-and-jorts aesthetic of the youth.MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: A massive update on the future of the show—by episode 400, Not Well is packing up and broadcasting from an entirely different continent!Buckle in, it’s a wild ride.

    Your Pastor Loves You So Much, He Needs a Private Jet

    Send us Fan Mail This week the boys open with a "loving" influencer explaining why we're all going to hell — and it only gets holier from there. Social media Christians who gay-bait on Snapchat, megachurch pastors who need a second jet, and why nobody is getting into Heaven Plus. Then Bobby reports live from Charlotte: a city full of 23-year-olds, an open bar (RIP), and a gay bar near the airport that sparked the most honest conversation about race we've ever had on this show. Plus a gas station encounter that proves travel actually changes you. And the main event: a full dramatic reading from the Book of F****t — a Grindr message from a hookup 13 years ago with a suspiciously perfect memory, a top-three ranking (out of three), and the coldest "Got it." in recorded history. Also inside: the president is a farter, Pillion is unrealistic (Alexander Skarsgård is a 95, sorry), doctor's office anxiety is just hookup anxiety, why the gays bully the gays, and the moment we realized the days are already getting shorter. 🗳️ VOTE: Chicago, Seattle, or New York for the August trip?
