The LGBTQ icon is celebrating the new year with Sam’s Big Gay Calendar of Events 2025. The old school, hang up calendar has fun and quirky pictures each month. In addition to the great images, he also has the dates of all his favorite parties.
“It’s nice to go back to an analog way of things,” he said. “It harkens back to the Damron [gay Travel Guides] where you can just see stuff and plan what you’re gonna do as the year unfolded.”
Lantz blew up in 2024 when he finished in the top three of the Netflix reality series “Squid Game: The Challenge.” Known as number 016 on the show, his game play earned him respect and his height and beard made him super recognizable.
There’s another physical characteristic that helped lure in fans: his abs. Saying he has a six-pack would be an understatement. But he doesn’t take himself too seriously and says it’s all tongue-in-cheek fun.
“It’s just been so much fun. I hope that people take it as the joyous [event] that it is. I feel very cocky selling a calendar of pictures of myself.”
That said, November will be an especially fun month. That will feature a picture of him flashing the abs while holding a pair of pies. It seems like a contradiction, but Lantz is a big fan of the dessert table.
“People would hate me for how much trash I eat. Pie is my favorite dessert. All of these abs come from pie.”
Lantz lives in Broward County with his husband, Doug, and both have a strong connection to the community. This year he was Grand Marshal of the FLoatarama boat parade (an event noted on his 2025 calendar) and lends his support to many community causes.
One of the organizations he loves is SunServe. A portion of the proceeds from the calendar will go to them.
“Giving back to SunServe really makes me feel good. If I can sell my abs for good, let’s sell ‘em.”
