About this listen


Dre’s been one of our teammates for years — but he’s also Mr. Mega Woof 2024, a staple in West Hollywood’s go-go scene, and one of the most magnetic performers we know. So when he invited us to learn a few moves, we showed up… completely unprepared.What started as a friendly tutorial turned into a full-on spectacle: a bunch of sweaty rugby players trying to keep up with a seasoned go-go dancer. There was glitter. There were body rolls. There were a few pulled hamstrings. And somehow, it turned into the most unexpectedly wholesome moment of queer team bonding we’ve ever had.This wasn’t a joke, and it definitely wasn’t just a gay dance challenge — this was the overlap of gay rugby culture, inclusive sports culture, and the kind of masculine dance challenge you don’t usually see outside of a late-night club in the Castro. And yeah, it turns out go-go dancing for beginners is way harder than it looks.You’ll see Dre Thee Cyborg dancing, coaching, roasting, and teaching us how to move like we mean it. You’ll also see some very awkward attempts at men’s go-go dancing, plus a few rugby locker room comedy skits that came out of it.Filmed at Jam in the Van, hosted by Jack Higgins & Ozzy Luna.
