Judson shares an incredible story about what began as a spontaneous day trip to Fire Island and ends up as a profound moment of Daddy-ness. Brian presents a series of questions that some of our straight listeners have posed to us after hearing our first several episodes. Together they discuss the broad menu of sexual pleasures available outside of penetration as both have recently reopened their minds to Side activity. To end, this week’s Go Ask Your Dad question comes from a cisgender poly queer man, married to a woman with whom he has kids, who wants to overcome the challenges of dating other men as someone who doesn’t feel seen as a member of the gay community.

Judson describes his first few days vape-free. Brian gives his review of “Cats: The Jellicle Ball.” Then, the two examine what makes them feel the most shame, and how they each attempt to manage it. They end with a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who has discovered that a favorite hookup of his isn’t open, he’s cheating.

After Judson and Brian compare notes on their childhood concert-going experiences, discuss the right attitude with which to approach a sex party, and share how they each broke (or tried to break) their month-long streaks of not having hookups, the two enter into a breakdown of the top-bottom-vers continuum, and their personal journeys through all sides of it. Finally, this week’s Go Ask Your Dad question covers how to navigate having a threesome in a relationship when you feel your partner gets greedy with the third.

In this week’s episode, Brian recounts one daughter’s first encounter with homophobia and his other daughter’s talent show triumph giving a drag performance. Judson describes the options available to find places to hookup when neither party can host. Then, the two enter into a discussion inspired by a listener email about the myth of “gay death” at 30. They end the episode addressing a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who’s single and asks how to navigate all the married, open men on the apps when he might want more than only sex.

Block. Ghost. Flake. Catfish. SUCCESS! Repeat. Sound familiar? After recapping Judson’s weekend in Los Angeles and Brian’s week coming out to his straight friends about his open marriage, our Dad and Daddy discuss the joys and pitfalls of the most common gay hookup apps, offer some insight on good app etiquette and provide tips on how to detect if a prospective hookup is partying. To cap it off, they respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question about making new friends as an adult gay man in the post-COVID era.

In their second episode, Judson and Brian celebrate the joy and vibrance of introducing their new podcast at the Pride Festival in Brooklyn, NY, before tackling the delicate topic of fighting fair in relationships. Whether it's a disagreement with a partner, friend, or family member, conflict is inevitable, and how we handle it makes all the difference. Lastly, they confront the uncomfortable reality of encountering racism and transphobia during a hookup as they answer this week’s Go Ask Your Dad question.
