Heads up: Danny's mom makes an appearance in this episode, so there's some (a lot) of bleeped curse words
This week, we're joined by the internet's favorite sons, the Zakar Twins! Danny's mom also stops by to check in on our 30 Day Attitude of Gratitude Challenge.
About the Zakar Twins
Few things are as compelling as a good story, and the Zakar Twins have mastered the art of storytelling, Pray the Gay Away focuses on key issues in today’s society. The memoir chronicles Michael’s and Zach’s coming out to their mother who is a devout Christian who is also extremely devoted to the family’s Middle Eastern values and heritage. The book takes a comedic look at the brothers’ journey from awkward teenagers fighting against societal stereotypes in post 9/11 America, to living separate lives while recognizing sexual and emotional feelings for other boys, to rejoining their relationship when they come out to each other and to finally facing the future together in a world where gay is still a bad word and coming out to their mom shattered and reformed their family and religious values.
Pray the Gay Away has been self-published by Michael and Zach and is selling on Amazon (#1 LGBT release its first day) and online on Barnes & Noble as the brothers start their national book tour.
