Your Internet Boyfriends is a weekly catch up podcast from two Irish comedians - one gay, one straight, both gorgeous - navigating dating, life and disasters in London through completely different lenses.
Each week is a mix of queer/straight laugh out loud stories, a little too honest confessions, unqualifited advice to listeners and the kind of unfiltered conversations you’ll whisper to your friends. Mark and Denis are the honest, funny and unexpectedly wholesome queer-straight friendship you didn’t know you needed.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Denis is heading to a bottomless brunch with 15 women, full Prosecco confidence, and a guaranteed emotional breakdown by 9pm. Mark is worrying about his eyes, remembering the red-nose event, and explaining why January means overdrafts, tax returns and mild despair.
We yap about:

This week, Mark and Denis talk about a glamorous vicar who’s apparently filling pews wherever she goes. Botox is discussed. Bubbles are blown. Parishioners are distracted.
Mark revisits his former life as a church organist, explaining why it’s basically jazz improvisation with wing mirrors, unpredictable priests, and choirs who might pass out if you speed things up. Denis goes undercover and attends a Protestant christening and reports back on hymns, crowd participation, and why Catholics absolutely refuse to sing together.
We also get into:
hybrid rock starsthe queer obsession with bouldering, roller derby, and niche sportsMark’s Margate gig, feral queer towns, and sober decision-makinga gang of twinks and an Airbnb hot tubthe 1,000 pound doglost teeth, emergency dentists, and why Mark’s shows cost his friends a fortunemince pies reviewed live (stars deducted), After Eights slander, and festive fatigue

#44 Reversing in Nightclubs and World Aids Day
Thu, 04 Dec 2025
This week, Denis and Mark kick things off with a very serious investigation into the gutters (yes, those ones), the anatomy of thirst traps, and why Mark is suddenly wearing a very small Manchester United jersey.
Then it’s on to festive drama: Denis’ roommate brings home a real Christmas tree that looks like “two feet tall and four feet wide,” sparking a full discussion on fat trees, skinny spikes, counter-top decorating and the long-running Christmas tree wars in Ennis.
Elsewhere, Mark battles through a rainy Monday tour with one loudly problematic tourist who insists on calling him British, while his silent wife and mortified daughter form a Greek chorus of despair. Denis argues for a legally sanctioned “one day a year” where you’re allowed to tell someone to feck off without consequences.
And then:
Denis accidentally gets himself into a gay flirtation on the street
a woman in front responds by turning it into a competitive runway
the world’s most stressful restaurant bathroom key system
the moment Mark explains the subtle technique known as “reversing into someone” in a gay bar
Weekly queer/straight comedy, Irish nostalgia and two men trying to understand flirting, football jerseys and festive decor all at once.

Thu, 20 Nov 2025
Denis and Mark are celebrating the return of the iconic Juno Birch to the podcast, catching up on her latest adventures and the wild world of monkeys stealing phones.
This week, Denis tries to explain Ireland’s sudden football glory to Mark including Troy Parrott’s hat-trick and a parrot in Dublin Zoo who’s now somehow part of the story. We also unpack whether “boyfriend” is officially lame, when someone becomes a “partner,” and why office small talk has turned into a full-time sexuality guessing game.
Meanwhile, George the cat is testing everyone’s patience with attempted mouth-licking and the constant risk of escape. Denis shares the terror of misgendering pets (“owners get very offended”) and Mark reveals his cat-sitting technique that basically involves slithering through a doorway like a break-in.

Denis accidentally witnessing a full arse on Bond Street,Mark seeing two (planned) arses,flirtation with two trendy Berlin lads,and the shocking moment a £17 brunch served them two sad fingernail-sized nuggets of “buttermilk chicken.”
We also get into kombucha that tastes like the hot press, sink swamps, knives-as-snacks, Christmas décor trauma, Toymaster flashbacks, and Denis forgetting to compliment the cycling blouse that sent Instagram feral.
Elsewhere, the lads chat about Lily Allen’s new album — her first in years — and the scandal that’s come with its brutally honest lyrics. There’s also talk of Paddington: The Musical, the stage adaptation nobody saw coming but somehow everyone’s talking about.

Elsewhere, the lads chat about Ireland’s newly elected president Catherine Connolly, a newly purchased red mask, and the tricky business of finding the right birthday gift. Plus, there’s a nostalgic revisit to that unforgettable scene from Scary Movie. You know, the one with the ear and the, yup.

#21 Summer dread, sweaty bellies and not-so-Fantastic Mr. Fox
This week, Mark arrives tanned, moisturised and proudly showing his knees, while Denis immediately questions whether the glow is “Ballybunion or just a bit dirty.” From there, the lads get into the great mustache divide — listeners love it, Lisa hates it, and Denis is stuck trimming it down to a 1.
Then the big question: do either of them actually have a type? Mark insists he’s “pick-and-mix,” Denis swears he doesn’t have one, and somehow we end up discussing knees, jealousy, Americans in summer and why queer attraction is half fancying someone, half wanting their vest.
We also cover:

Then Denis shares one of the most awkward moments of his life:a restaurant bringing over a candlelit dessert he didn’t order,the staff clapping,a chocolate plate saying “Happy Anniversary” even though they’ve been dating four weeks,Denis eating the entire thing himself,and a second restaurant the following week accidentally starting another birthday celebration.

This week, Mark and Denis settle into their very blue new studio complete with TV3 morning-show energy and catch up on a surprisingly dramatic few days. Denis arrives with big news: after last week’s accident, Lisa finally got the X-ray… and came out wearing the full medical boot. Meanwhile, Mark reveals he once kept hospital crutches under his bed “for attention,” so the lads compare childhood injuries, cast envy and the strange Irish pride of hobbling around school.
They also get into:
meeting listeners in the wild and the panic of having to explain “what the podcast is about”crumbs on the tube, public-transport etiquette and Mark’s mother’s extreme sentencing guidelinespacemakers: what they are, how they work and the wild fact that Mark has one (“a little tin of mints under the skin”)medical check-ups where the nurse can see exactly what your heart was doing at 12:30amDenis planning his first romantic trip to Ireland with her and discovering that Irish cottages are sometimes just… bungalows with a red doorthe Wild Atlantic Way’s Airbnb madness, €500 hotel rooms and Ballyvaughan “cottages”the Clare itinerary: the Burren, seaweed baths, Moher Pet Farm, proper stone cottages, Fanny O’Dee’s, and a safe public lunch with the parentsdads who loudly say “Namaste,” mothers who rename people on purpose, and why introducing partners is a high-risk sport

#9 Naked Gym Days
Thu, 03 Apr 2025
This week, Denis arrives breathless after Lisa catastrophically injures her foot trying to hang a lampshade and somehow still insists on going to work like a post-office Terminator. Mark shares his NHS survival hacks, Denis discovers the healing power of frozen edamame, and the lads debate whether A&E is ever truly worth the eight-hour wait.
From there, things escalate:
the great Homeware Heist of Dunelm (accidentally… allegedly… stealing five pans)train-tapping panic, facial-recognition vans and the fear of being arrested for absolutely nothingDenis joining a new gym and immediately being invited to a “Thursday Night Social Club”… in the saunaMark explains the entire gay sauna ecosystem, naked gym days, etiquette, nods, cues and exactly how to avoid ending up in the wrong/right kind of steam roomnaked yoga, naked trivia, naked board games (apparently all real)
And later, the boys review Adolescence — the one-shot TV series that’s part Christopher Nolan, part technical fever dream — leading to a chat about teenage trauma, the horrors of modern tech, and the early Internet chat rooms Denis should probably not have been running at age 15.
Weekly queer comedy, Irish nostalgia, and two men clinging to their innocence inside a sauna.
