From playing George Washington in Hamilton and experiencing an unforgettable Obama God-shot moment to entering Diarra from Detroit as Mr. Tea, Bryan Terrell Clark drops one wisdom bomb after another on this episode of COCOISM.

Bryan joins Coco & Boots for a powerful conversation about surrender, rejection, and recognizing the opportunities life places in your path. He takes us from music and Broadway to sharing the screen with his real-life best friend, Diarra Kilpatrick—and reveals how his own experiences helped him shape Tea into an authentic queer character rather than a stereotype.

This Mr. Tea tea party is filled with juicy Diarra from Detroit Season 2 moments, insight on Black queer representation, the secret to looking sexy at the gym—and something Bryan has never shared publicly before.

Bryan Terrell Clark has officially entered the CocoSphere! ✨☕️

The CocoSphere stops for Diarra Kilpatrick—the creator, writer, executive producer, and star of Diarra from Detroit.

Diarra joins Boots and Coco to talk mystery, comedy, fashion, parenting, chosen family, and how never fully fitting in became her creative superpower. Plus, a surprise Cocomail from Bryan Terrell Clark reveals the inspiration behind Tea before Diarra faces Bootsie’s Lightning Round.

What’s Diarra’s ism? Keep yourself in the place of feeling good. ✨

Host: CocoAlexander and Boots Bueno

The spotlight of America’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 brought Keenyah Hill front and center in 2005—not only to the world of reality TV, but to high fashion.

In this episode of COCOISM: The Podcast, we travel down the runway with Keenyah as she tells Boots & Coco what it was really like being on the show—and what happened after the cameras stopped rolling.

From traveling the world to becoming a model mentor and pose coach, Keenyah has transformed her love of fashion and modeling into a mission: sharing her vision, knowledge, and experience with aspiring models learning not only how to jump-start a career, but how to survive and thrive in the industry.

And yes, CocoPuffs… there’s tea. ☕️ From insider model shade to discovering that fame, beauty, and character don’t always walk the same runway, it’s all right here on COCOISM.

Because when the lights fade, the cameras stop, and the runway ends, we have just one question…

When the Pose Drops, Who Are You? 👠✨

This week on COCOISM, Boots and Coco dive into Tyra Banks’ lawsuit against Netflix, the complicated legacy of America’s Next Top Model, and why reality TV edits can change everything. Boots reflects on his own experience appearing on reality television while the boys unpack what happens when the person controlling the narrative suddenly loses control of the edit.

Then it’s off to the movies for a packed TV Tie-Up featuring RuPaul’s latest cinematic adventure, Steven Spielberg’s emotional sci-fi epic Disclosure Day, and the absolutely chilling new Cape Fear series that has Boots screaming at the television and celebrating what may officially be a Juliette Lewis Summer.

The boys also take the Metro to LA Pride, reflect on sobriety, community, growing older in queer spaces, and what Pride means when you’re finally comfortable in your own skin. Plus: summer vibes, popcorn reviews, the state of the world, gratitude, and a heartfelt thank-you to the COCO Puffs and Bootsie Rolls who helped COCOISM reach 53 episodes.

The brightest days have arrived in the Coco Sphere! Boots Bueno and Coco Alexander Bueno celebrate 52 episodes of COCOISM, the first official day of summer, Matthew’s middle school culmination, family graduation nostalgia, Pride Month reflections, and the joy of showing up exactly as you are.

Then it’s a TV Tie-Up takeover with Widow’s Bay, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Cape Fear, Juliette Lewis love, and one very honest Scary Movie walkout. Prideful, parented, caffeinated, and way too many things — just how we like it.

Happy Pride from inside the COCOSPHERE this week, Boots and Coco get reflective, wig-tastic, and deeply Bootsie as they talk about what pride means now: being seen, staying sober, opening doors that never close again, and choosing the life you actually deserve.

We get into Backrooms, demons that look a little too familiar, the last six months of red carpets, recovery, parenting, mood boards, Matthew heading to high school, Robin Tunney at the MOCA Gala, Jena Malone’s BASIC Magazine cover, the case of the missing wig, and the full moon Sagittarius portal of it all.

This week on COCOISM, Boots and Coco enter the full COCOSPHERE : Hacks, Obsession, The Boroughs taking over Netflix, Jena Malone’s sci-fi folk era, horror movies that ruined road trips forever, and the red carpet ponytail heard around the world. Plus, Boots spills the glam behind Jena’s Boroughs premiere hair, Patricia Velasquez for Et Cetera Journal, Michelle Joy of Cannons, and the sacred art of leaving your ego at the door on set.

And yes, somehow Kim Kardashian, shapewear, Mariah Carey, indie horror, coffee shop loyalty, and “Ride the D” all make it into one glorious episode.

Because in the COCOSPHERE , the wigs are tight, the takes are hotter than espresso dust, and we’re always doing too many things together.
