Tyler and Gabriel

This week, we’re joined by John Murphy — artist, creative director, and LGBTQ+ advocate.

We talk about growing up gay in the South, knowing who you are from a young age, religion, coming out, chosen family, and how queer life has changed across generations. Plus: social media, gay bars, art, community, and why we still feel the need to "come out."

This week, we’re joined by Matt McKenley — creator, actor, and social media personality.

We talk about growing up religious, moving to Los Angeles at 16, coming out, acting, creator relationships, heartbreak, and finding yourself after a breakup. Plus: High School Musical, being outed, dating again, and what happens when love becomes content.

This week, we’re joined by Henry — content creator, photographer, and proud Mexican who left his hometown at 17 to chase a different life.

We talk about confidence, self-love, family expectations, moving across Mexico, immigration, learning English, building a career online, and believing in yourself before anyone else does.

This week, we’re joined by Cain Culto — artist, musician, and former worship pastor.

We talk about growing up evangelical, knowing he was different from a young age, leaving the church, finding chosen family, and building a life through art and self-expression.

Plus: religion, queerness, creativity, villains, identity, and becoming the person you were always meant to be.

This week, we’re joined by Love Bailey — artist, performer, designer, and trans icon.

We talk about growing up in Temecula, moving to Hollywood at 17, finding chosen family, gender, sexuality, creativity, and building a life through self-expression. Plus: Rocky Horror Picture Show, queer history, politics, AI, and why “sexuality is a frequency.”

This week, we’re joined by Jacob for a conversation about growing up gay in Texas, dating girls while secretly trying to understand yourself, and realizing maybe you can’t hide who you are forever.

We talk about denial, family expectations, gym culture, finding queer community, moving across the country, and the weird journey of finally accepting yourself.

Today, we’re joined by Dr. Thomas — psychiatrist and fellow gay man navigating identity, masculinity, relationships, and the pressures that come with growing up queer.

We talk about coming out young, trying to fit in, shame, therapy, labels, loneliness, and why so many of us learn to hide parts of ourselves growing up.

This week, we’re joined by Napoleon Jinnies — a Los Angeles Rams cheerleader, dancer, and performer.

We talk about growing up bullied for being different, discovering confidence through dance, and becoming the first male NFL cheerleader.

Plus: masculinity, social media, auditions, and being “too bright to hide.”

What started as a simple dinner turned into a surprise wedding — but that’s just part of the story.

Luiz & Sebas share how they met, how everything unfolded so quickly, and what it’s like building a relationship that didn’t follow any rules. From instant connection to navigating life together, this episode is about love, timing, and trusting something that just feels right.

We lived in Los Angeles for a year… and a lot changed.

In this episode, we reflect on the risks, the growth, and what happens after you finally do the thing you’ve been dreaming about.

This week, we’re joined by Nick — a dancer and performer from RuPaul’s Drag Race Live in Las Vegas.

He talks about coming out, moving to LA with no plan, and finding confidence through performance. We also get into drag, identity, and the moment we realized… there’s more than one way to tuck.

This episode is about taking risks, figuring it out, and finding your place.

Today we’re joined by Alex — a nightlife curator and community builder based in Los Angeles.

We talk about growing up in a strict Caribbean and Christian household, living a double life, and eventually finding freedom through nightlife and chosen community.

This episode is about identity, connection, and why dating can feel so complicated.

Today we’re joined by Hunter — a professional wrestler who went viral for being unapologetically gay in a space that doesn’t always make room for it.

He shares what it was like growing up in a small town in Massachusetts, navigating his sexuality at a young age, and learning how to build confidence in who he is. We talk about family, coming out, and how finding your own community can change everything.

Hunter also opens up about getting into wrestling, creating a character people can’t ignore, and becoming the “most popular sugar baby in professional wrestling.”

This episode is about confidence, identity, and creating your own lane.

Today we’re joined by Dylan and Harry — who met in line at Erewhon and quickly realized their connection wasn’t random.

They share how spirituality brought them together, from asking the universe for signs to actually recognizing one when it showed up. What started as a simple interaction turned into a deeper connection rooted in energy, timing, and alignment.

We talk about manifestation, healing, anxiety, and the stories we tell ourselves — and how those stories can shape our reality.

Today we’re joined by Iago — a Brazilian ballet dancer from Rio de Janeiro who grew up in a favela and built a professional dance career in the United States.

He shares what it was like growing up in a poor neighborhood in Rio, losing his father at a young age, and discovering ballet through a free public-school program. What started as secret ballet classes behind his mom’s back eventually led him to train in Miami and dance professionally in the U.S.

Iago also talks about growing up gay in Brazil, learning English after moving to America, and the community that helped support his dream along the way.

This week we’re joined by Nick, a 24-year-old from Temecula, California who shows up to the podcast with a cooler full of Aplós plum drinks and chocolate-covered pretzels. (Aplós, if you’re reading this… please sponsor us.)

We talk about growing up bored in a small town, lonely kid energy, drinking way too young, and the chaos of teenage curiosity. The conversation drifts into sneaking into gay bars before 21, the fear of sex when you’re young, mannequins, awkward first experiences, and what an ideal date actually looks like for him today.

Somehow we also end up talking about Orlando, Disney, porn, and why that combination might actually be the most Hannah Montana thing we’ve ever heard.

Today, we’re joined by Nick — a Florida-raised creator who built a completely new life by choosing to start over.

Nick talks about growing up in the Florida panhandle around church culture, leaving home through college track scholarships, and realizing adulthood was his chance to reinvent himself. He didn’t come out until 23 — instead of making a big announcement, he entered the Andrew Christian model search, posted it publicly, and let the world figure it out.

We talk about masculinity, labels, religion, and what “masc” actually means inside the gay community. Nick shares how moving to Los Angeles with two suitcases led to an entirely new life — from modeling and traveling the world through the gay circuit scene to becoming the creator he is today.

This episode is about reinvention, risk, and the freedom to create your own identity.

Today, it’s just us.

We talk about how this podcast started in our bedroom with a microphone and no plan — just curiosity. How it slowly became a space for queer voices, immigrants, and people building new lives from scratch. And how sometimes you forget the impact until someone stops you in a hallway and reminds you why you started.

We share our 2026 goals: learning instruments, going back to school, expanding into photography and film, finally posting the unreleased episodes… and maybe moving to New York City.

We also reflect on our engagement during Christmas in New York — what marriage means to us, why marrying your best friend feels right, and how the dreams that once felt impossible somehow became real.

This episode is about building a life on your own terms — and doing everything you want in the one you get.

This week, we’re joined by Maxwell Poth — a queer photographer who grew up Mormon in Utah and became the only openly gay kid in his entire town.

He talks about cheerleading in high school, coming out to a community that refused to hear the word “gay,” and being bullied by adults from neighboring towns while his own school protected him. We get into Mormon culture, religious expectations, and the moment he realized he wanted to use photography to highlight queer stories.

Maxwell shares how he founded Project Contrast, traveled across the country documenting LGBTQ+ youth, and eventually turned their stories into the book Young Queer America. He reflects on the families he met, the kids he still keeps in touch with, and how queer youth today are navigating a world where support systems are shrinking.

Today, we’re joined by Noah Neitch — an Arizona-raised only child who grew up loving the spotlight, even when the world told him to hide it.

He opens up about growing up queer in conservative Arizona, being called gay in fourth grade, and the grandma who let him run around in her heels.
We talk only-child energy, attention, Disney, and the moment he finally told his mom he was gay on the day he moved to California.

Noah also shares how he booked his first movie role in Cheer Up Baby — going from auditioning for the straight lead to playing a queer cheerleader in a film that hit number one.

This week, we’re joined by Nick—a singer, songwriter, and performer reclaiming confidence after heartbreak and turning pain into art.

He opens up about life after a long relationship, rediscovering himself through music, and finding freedom in his single era.

We talk censorship, queer visibility, self-expression, and how being “too much” can actually be your superpower.

Fresh off his latest single SEXIFY, he’s working on a new album about reinvention, confidence, and loving yourself out loud.

Today’s episode features Venezuelan artist, performer, and rising pop icon Santi—who moved to the U.S. with no formal training, just a vision and a deep love for performance.

He opens up about growing up gay in Venezuela, learning English through Nicki Minaj lyrics, and creating his debut album Miss Venezuela from pure imagination.

We talk kissing culture, self-expression, dancing in heels, and why it’s never too late to chase your dreams.

Also: Oscar movies, Ms. Bashful, and the power of making out.

This week, we’re joined by Michael—a physical therapist, proud gay Mexican-Chinese man, and the human embodiment of golden retriever energy.

Born in L.A. and raised in Rosarito, he shares what it was like growing up between cultures, navigating identity, grief, and the moment his sister knew he was gay before he did.

We talk stereotypes, softness, family, and how helping others became his purpose—first in RPG games, then in real life at Children’s Hospital.

It’s about healing, joy, and learning to love all parts of yourself.

Cade didn’t even realize he was doing the podcast—he just accepted the calendar invite. But somehow, this surprise guest turned into one of our favorite conversations.

We talk to Cade and Kevin about being total opposites (Type Z vs. Type A), growing up in Mississippi and Montreal, and how working together as a couple actually makes them stronger—just like us.

Kevin’s a hustler who started working in TV at 11, loves Brazil so much he’s learning Portuguese, and dreams big. Cade's a quiet soccer kid turned porn star, whose accidental coming out on MySpace led him from Mississippi to Hawaii to a cross-country Grindr trip… and eventually, to Kevin.

Also: Brazilian beauty standards, Celine Dion, billboards about hell, moving in fast, and why if you’re gonna do porn—be number one.

Today, we’re joined by Logan and Matty—two opposites who became inseparable after a DM and a 50-hour first date.

We talk about falling hard, moving in fast, and how living together early actually helped their relationship grow.

They open up about communication styles, therapy, Animal Crossing nights, and building a life full of love, laughter, and a little weed.

Also: gym routines, manifestation, and why sometimes being weird together is the best part.

This week, we’re joined by dancer and performer Ezra Sosa—our officially adopted child.

Ezra opens up about growing up queer in conservative Utah, coming into his identity, and the long road from So You Think You Can Dance to Dancing with the Stars.

We talk tour life, inner homophobia, queer joy, and why soccer just isn’t doing it for him.

Also: Drag Race moments, heat floors, hate comments, and why he never graduated high school—but still made it.

This week, we’re joined by Roberto Portales—a Cuban-American platoon leader, former football player, and proud Chatty Cathy (after two drinks).

Roberto opens up about growing up in a loud, loving Tampa household, serving in Afghanistan, and coming out later in life—after years of living in hyper-masculine spaces.

We talk about West Point hazing, war zone drinking rules, and why masculinity doesn’t equal heterosexuality.

Also: fake Instagram accounts, dating in your twenties, Cuban family chaos, and yes… peeing in bed.

Today, we chat with the radiant June Jambalaya—drag queen, performer, and Jacksonville native (just like Tyler).

June shares her journey from church stages to RuPaul’s Drag Race, how attending an arts high school changed everything, and why drag became her way to reclaim power and tell her story.

We talk dance rejection, chosen family, coming out during a hurricane, and the joy of creating space for queer expression.

Also: church performances, auditioning as a joke, smoking with dad, and honoring her drag mother, Jiggly Caliente.

It’s heartfelt, funny, and full of grace.

This week, we’re joined by the handsome and gravity-defying Reno Gold—OnlyFans creator, pole dancer, fire spinner, and pancake chef.

He tells us about growing up all over the U.S., starting gymnastics at age 3, and how stripping led to a career built on fantasy, creativity, and connection. We talk about supportive parents, hotel room living, and the dream of becoming an OF star.

Also in this episode: tongue pops, cartoon therapy, fire spinning, and a healthy pancake recipe—plus Reno’s current goal: mastering a double backflip.

Brazil is in the house today! Born and raised in Bahia, Brazil and now thriving in Los Angeles, Bruno joins us to share his journey from wild to (mostly) domesticated.

He opens up about growing up Catholic, immigrating to the U.S. without speaking English, and finding freedom through drag, love, and a lot of affection—sometimes too much (yes, security was called).

We talk culture shock, queer joy, and how Bruno found his place in the Drag Race Pit Crew and beyond—now starring in Happy Endings with Bruno on WOW Presents. He’s also a massage therapist, and if you didn’t already guess: touch is his love language.

Also in this episode: learning new languages, loving accents, dreaming big, and embracing softness.

It’s fun, flirty, and full of heart.

This week, we’re joined by Michael and Bruno—two Disney-loving soulmates who, like us, are an American-Brazilian couple building a life across cultures.

We talk about the magic of their relationship, from surprising each other early on to proudly owning the title Disney gays. They share stories of pin collecting (with boundaries!), dating rituals, and finding joy in the little things.

Bruno opens up about immigrating to the U.S. and feeling self-conscious about grammar and accents, while Michael reflects on his Cuban-Croatian roots and childhood dreams of visiting Brazil.

We also dive into growing up closeted in the '90s, queer joy, and the powerful moment of seeing yourself in another couple.

It’s sweet, nostalgic, and full of love—internationally speaking.

Today, we’re joined by Jordan—a longtime friend of Tyler and a total beam of light.

Born in Spiro, Oklahoma, Jordan opens up about growing up Black and biracial in a small town where he never quite fit in—not Black enough for the Black kids, not white enough for the white ones. The youngest of six, he shares how he used humor and heart to survive.

We talk about his journey from Oklahoma to Madrid—his first big city—where he felt free for the first time, fell in love (more than once), and began to truly discover himself. From college cheerleading to being bullied into moving back to the U.S., Jordan’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and healing.

He shares intimate thoughts on identity, trauma, and dating as a Black man in the gay community. Plus: self-help books, becoming a dad, Dave & Buster’s, car accidents, and why sometimes… you just have to pick a fight in a relationship.

It’s a double date! In this episode, Patty and Leo join us to talk love, pop culture, Catholic school trauma, and the very serious theory that drinking milk turns kids gay.

Leo grew up in Mexico, dated a girl for three years, and came out after moving to L.A. to pursue acting. Patty, from Chicago, found his voice on TikTok during the pandemic—spilling celeb gossip like they’re close personal friends (because in his world, they are).

We talk about their first date, how they handle hate online, the pressure queer people feel to overachieve, and why Leo’s the spicy one and Patty keeps it chill.

It’s funny, honest, and full of Gen Z energy.

This week, we sit down with Michael Pezzullo—a licensed therapist and mental health advocate specializing in LGBTQ+ affirming care.

Born and raised in NYC, now living in West Hollywood, Michael opens up about growing up in Hell’s Kitchen, why he still feels like a New Yorker, and the long road (literally—he failed his driving test six times) to becoming a therapist.

We talk masculinity, internalized homophobia, and the personas gay men build to survive—only to end up feeling alone. Michael unpacks the myth of perfection, the power of boundaries, and how to recognize when you're just building walls.

Also: Who are the mean gays of WeHo? Who’s the king and queen? And is masculinity always toxic?

This episode is raw, insightful, and full of heart—for anyone exploring identity, community, and healing.

You might know her as Naysha Lopez, but to us, Fabian is a star in and out of drag.

In this episode, he opens up about his journey from dreaming of the crown to winning Miss Continental—and later competing in Mister Continental, the male counterpart to the iconic pageant. We talk about the difference between pageants and Drag Race, finding confidence outside of drag, and inspiring others to embrace their full selves.

Fabian also shares how he handles critique, blurs the lines between masculine and feminine, and hosts Roscoe’s legendary viewing parties with equal parts grace and shade.

The beauty is here.

Pasquale Guiducci joins us this week—a yoga teacher and all-around ray of sunshine.

We talk about growing up in an Italian family, living in D.C., and what led him to move to L.A. He shares how yoga became a joyful part of his life, how it keeps him grounded, and what he's looking for in love and community.

It’s a sweet, open conversation about breath, balance, queerness, and being present.

This time, we sit down with Payam about healing, identity, and finding peace in our bodies.

He shares his experience immigrating from Iran, coming out, and living through the AIDS crisis. We also explore how somatic therapy can help us move through trauma, regulate our nervous system, and reconnect with ourselves.

We talk activism, queer joy, and what decades as a therapist have taught him about resilience and community.

This week, we chat with Antony Ware—a charismatic performer currently lighting up the stage in Las Vegas. He opens up about his coming out story, how he landed the role, his passion for fitness, and what it’s like dating and making friends as an adult. We also talk Janet Jackson (of course), queer identity, and Drag Race favorites. It’s heartfelt, fun, and full of energy—don’t miss it!

In this episode, we chat with queer matchmaker Daniel Cooley about coming out, growing up in Victorville, being homeschooled, and ending up on Millionaire Matchmaker. We also dive into the dating struggles of the app era—and how he helps people find real connection.

In this heartfelt debut, we turn the mic toward co-host Gabriel Drumond to explore his personal story—growing up gay in a small town in Brazil, moving to the U.S. alone in his twenties, and navigating identity, love, and belonging along the way.

We also open up about why we created this podcast: to connect with our LGBTQ+ community, make new friends, and hold space for honest, healing, and inspiring conversations.
