Sam and Jake catch up after a month apart — Jake fresh off a podium finish in Hamburg and a ticket to the Elite 15 Hyrox World Championships, Sam back from Boston with injury stories and a new appreciation for doubles racing. The boys break down Hyrox travel costs, injury management, back pain fixes, and what it takes to be world-class in a pay-to-play sport.
Then it’s full Out of Bounds chaos: queer travel talk in South Africa, gay rodeos, the Pentagon’s wild take on Netflix’s “Boots”, and an unhinged GQ article about “nutmaxxing.” They close the season with a deep dive into wedgies, sounding, and kink culture, exploring where curiosity meets consent — plus Sam’s reflection on fetish ethics and Jake’s confession that he might ask Paul for a wedgie later.
It’s part education, part overshare, and 100% Out of Bounds.

This week on Out of Bounds, Jake and Sam welcome their second guest ever: the hilarious and chaotic Austyn The Great. Known for dancing in drag as Tina Turner during the pandemic and bringing pure queer joy online, Austyn opens up about his coming out story, life in football, and why dance became his safe space.
The conversation gets real (and very funny) as they talk about:
Growing up gay in football culture & getting kicked off a team after coming out.
Why straight guys playing gay characters in film is still so controversial.
The power of queer joy, pop divas, and finding authenticity online.
AI deepfakes, Michael Porter Jr.’s homophobic comments, and Trump’s “gay government.”
Kink of the Week: Katoptronophilia (aka mirror play).
It’s unfiltered, unapologetic, and full of laughs. Plus, Jenny (yes, Austyn’s friend/“manager”) steals the show.
Jake and Sam are back with another unfiltered episode of Out of Bounds. They cover it all this week:
Highlights from Gymshark’s Lift London event and Jake’s surprise 5K family win.
Big queer sports moments—from nine out players in the Women’s Rugby World Cup to the US Open’s first openly gay male player.
Social media trolls, TikTok hate, and how queer athletes navigate visibility.
“In the Closet”: growing up with athletic cups, the Presidential Fitness Test, and cultural differences in school sports.
“Coach Me Daddy”: Sam preps for his first Hyrox doubles with Jake’s tactical advice.
Kink of the Week: financial domination (cash pigs 🐷💸)—what is it and why is it such a thing?
Plus: bottom shaming, gay awakenings, and the art of navigating hookup talk in straight spaces.
As always, expect sharp takes, chaotic laughs, and a little too much honesty.
This week on Out of Bounds, Jake & Sam tackle a heavy news cycle and a hilarious kink of the week.
They break down Kim Davis’s ongoing crusade against marriage equality and what it signals about LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S., plus the Premier League’s controversial decision to pull back from Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign. The guys share their personal experiences growing up around religion and how it shaped their coming-out journeys.
Then it’s on to lighter (and stickier) topics: gut health myths, protein obsession, cold plunges vs. saunas (and an unforgettable naked honey story), and yes, a Kink of the Week featuring feet, foot massages, and whether Sam or Jake has the better toes.
As always, expect honest conversations, lots of laughs, and a reminder that queer joy and representation matter—especially when the news feels grim.

Welcome to episode 1 of the Out of Bounds podcast with Jake Williamson and Sam Leicht.
In today's episode we'll be answering your (gay) questions, revealing your coming out stories, chatting about locker room showers, and SO MUCH MORE 🙌
Here's what to expect:
Hosted by pro HYROX athlete Jake Williamson and health entrepreneur Sam Leicht, Out of Bounds is where queer identity collides with sport, culture, and everything in between. From training diaries and body image to dating, stigma, and performance — it’s unfiltered talk at full speed.
The host dynamic is rooted in lived experience: Jake brings the firsthand perspective of an openly gay athlete competing in elite sport in the UK, while Sam offers sharp, culturally fluent commentary on health, masculinity, and queer identity in the U.S. Together, they bridge two continents with a shared mission: to make fitness and sport more visible, inclusive, and accessible for the LGBTQIA+ community.
