Judson learns how to sleep in with coaching from his husband. Brian starts to feel a more distinct separation between himself and his straight friends. The two discover a kinship with the late Joel Schumacher, director of films including The Lost Boys, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. The Hookup of the Week is so hot it almost blows the roof off of Brian’s basement and finds the listener living out many of Brian’s and Judson’s fantasies rolled into one. Before the break, Brian reveals the next Dads and Daddies Book Club selection, Kink for Dummies by Jaime M. Grant and future podcast guest, Jack Harrison-Quintana. The two are overjoyed to then welcome back to the studio, Dads and Daddies’ very own Dr. Daddy, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, Chief Medical Officer at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York City, a leader in LGBTQ+ healthcare both locally and nationally. Dr Demetre brings Brian and Judson up to speed on the developments in his life and career in the eight months since his prior appearance on the podcast, including a move from Atlanta to NYC, and taking on Callen-Lorde's medical leadership. He teaches Brian and Judson about syndemics (synergistic epidemics), what they mean for the queer community, and the initiative he introduced at Callen-Lorde to help LGBTQ+ people live their full lives in the safest ways possible. He also explains PrEP on demand, injectable PrEP, and the relationship between Undetectable and Untransmittable. He talks about Big Pharma and the queer community, and the less obvious reasons we need to make universal healthcare a reality in the United States. He also talks about his philosophy that self-care as LGBTQ+ people is the highest form of rebellion, and describes what self-care looks like for him, personally. To close, Dr. Demetre fulfills his promise and answers not one, but four medical Go Ask Your Dad questions that have been submitted since his first time on the show.

Judson attends his third annual trip to Austin Naked Yoga where he facilitates a “Dial Into Daddy” workshop.The Hookup of the Week comes from a listener who shares a hot session with his boyfriend who wants to try out techniques from classes he’s taken at MMX, the private wellness club for men. The two are then joined by Judson’s dear friend, star of Netflix’s “Owning Manhattan,” and the founder of Queerity — the world’s first sober LGBTQ+ social and lifestyle app — Jordan Hurt. Jordan takes them through his journey from his childhood as a self-described “punk rock kid from the gutter,” to his move to New York with little money and no prospects, to his time as a sex worker, to his incredible success as a real estate broker under the guidance of famed realtor Ryan Serhant. He goes into great detail about his sobriety journey, including his rock-bottom moment that played out in front of the cameras for the hit reality show he was a cast member on. He then tells them all about Queerity–how he came to develop it, and the ways in which sober people can use it to find friends, romance, sex, events and safe destinations. He also shares his renewed views on dating, romance and what the future may hold for his personal life. The episode ends with Jordan helping Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants help navigating a friendship with someone he is concerned is heading down a dangerous path with alcohol.

Judson learns he’s a fashion inspiration for one of Brian’s daughters. Brian is witness to a past hookup of his flirting heavily with his husband, Toby. Judson seeks out and finds some much needed inspiration at work. A different sort of Hookup of the Week shared by a listener who took inspiration from the podcast to let go of past shame stirs deep emotions and moments of reflection for both Brian and Judson. The two are then joined by the founder and CEO of the Daddyhunt app, Carl Sandler. Carl shares how Daddyhunt first came to be over twenty years ago and how it has evolved with the PrEP generation as the gay community has become more open to Daddies and to open relationships. He tells the story behind the Daddyhunt serial that became a viral sensation ten years ago, and talks about its upcoming re-release this year in 4K for a post-Heated Rivalry world. Carl helps Brian and Judson think about how gay men can and should behave better towards one another, explains what he as a Daddy gets from the younger men he surrounds himself with, discusses how Daddiness at its core is about giving back and what that looks like, delves deep into the importance and benefits of gay friendships, and he issues a life-and-death warning to all sons. To close, Carl helps Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants to know what it takes to be a good son or sub.

Judson celebrates the Knicks’ victory from afar, while Brian is largely oblivious to it during a hookup that takes place outside his usual area of operations and timeframe. Judson recounts his sexy week and educates Brian on what it means to participate in Daddy-Daddy play. The Hookup of the Week comes from a listener who finds a great hookup on The Blowers while traveling, proving that it is better to give than to receive. The two are then joined by podcaster and documentarian Jess Rothschild, creator and executive producer of the GLAAD Award-nominated docu-series Finding Fire Island, now in its second season—with many episodes featuring Judson! Jess tells Brian and Judson how she came to fall in love with Fire Island, why she felt it was important to document its deep history, and asks each host to share their Fire Island origin stories. She also shares her views on 12-step programs, explains how she is attracted to women but prefers the company of gay men, and discusses the differences in how lesbians and gay men approach sex and openness. Finally, Jess helps Brian and Judson respond to a "Go Ask Your Dad" question from a listener who has found a spark with someone online but is unsure whether or not he should remind this person that they interacted years earlier—and that it ended on a sour note.

Judson has the loveliest time at Folsom Street East. Brian spends two days at an all-men’s, clothing optional resort in Palm Springs with his husband. The Hookup of the Week also recounts a delightful experience at Folsom Street East and features a surprising twist. Brian and Judson are then joined by Emmy Award–winning writer, actor and comedian Bryan Safi! Bryan tells Brian and Judson all about his off-Broadway solo show, Are You Mad at Me?, his eight years so far on Ryan Murphy’s “9-1-1” alongside Angela Bassett, Peter Krause and Jennifer Love Hewitt, and his pioneering, near 15-year career as a podcaster. He details his obsession with grocery stores, compares notes with Brian and Judson on finding love while looking for sex online, shares the details about why his marriage ended in divorce, reveals his need for reassurance from someone in a position of authority, and talks about healing the long-contentious relationship with his conservative parents. The three also talk about some of their favorite celebs from the 80s and 90s like Joan Rivers, Mr. T, Britney Spears and both Jason Alexanders. Bryan then helps Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who is finding himself so horny that he can’t figure out how to satisfy his needs.

Judson returns from a couples therapy session with a new understanding of how keeping certain thoughts and feelings to himself is affecting his husband, which spawns a conversation with Brian about how they care for their long-term relationships and friendships. A Blowers hookup teaches Brian a lesson about pushing himself outside his comfort zone and helps him realize he may have a talent for being verbal in the bedroom. The Hookup of the Week finds our listener meeting someone in a spa while on vacation, and learning how intimate a connection can be when forced to communicate without words. Brian and Judson are then joined by the writer and performer Michael Musto called “Oscar Wilde meets Whoopi Goldberg,” Justin Elizabeth Sayre. Justin tells Brian and Judson about their new solo show they’re bringing to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer, Justin Elizabeth Sayre is a 40 Year-Old Woman, how it was inspired by having to learn how to age as a queer person without role models to follow, and about the origins of their beloved Night of a Thousand Judys – an annual benefit for the Ali Forney Center, the nation's largest non-profit providing shelter and healthcare services to LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness in New York City. Justin also talks about their journey to accepting their queerness, the on-and-off courtship via text and DM of their now wife, being a non-binary person married to a trans woman, and how the last presidential election forced them to expedite their wedding in the United States, before moving out of the country out of concern for their wife’s safety. Justin’s Daddy Issue sparks a debate about how to present oneself on the apps. The episode ends with the three addressing a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener seeking advice on getting his partner more comfortable talking about sex and how their open relationship is working for him.

Judson prepares to celebrate Pride in Albany just as Brian returns from Pride in West Hollywood. Judson declares the season High-Signal Summer after his signature brand of overt homosexuality attracts a new friend from across two streets. Brian spars with his second grader's teachers when they won't approve the book he plans to read to her class for Pride, and he is called out by his fifth grader for having Grindr on his phone. Judson appears on the second season of the documentary series Finding Fire Island. The Hookup of the Week finds our listener reuniting at a bathhouse with a favorite hookup from years past who happens to be a Daddy Bear Pornstar. Brian and Judson are then joined by global superstar - and a Grand Marshal of the 2026 New York City Pride March - Peppermint! An actress, singer, and comedian who rose to international fame on Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race and has become one of the most prominent voices in the fight for trans inclusion everywhere, Peppermint talks about the current barriers keeping trans people from living happy and healthy lives, why fighting for civil rights is a core part of her being, why she chose to audition for RuPaul's Drag Race, why her season wasn't appreciated at the time, the divisive Drag Race queen she admits is one of her favorites to tour with, and the extreme expense of drag competitions. She also details how she was required to audition for the role based on - and named for - her on Netflix's Survival of the Thickest, how she finds confidence through gratitude, her relationship with dating, what dating is like for trans women, and so much more. To close, Peppermint joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who joined a gay sports league in an effort to make friends, only to find his team unwelcoming and uninterested in camaraderie. He wants to know whether there is any hope of finding gay fellowship or whether he should prepare for a future full of impenetrable cliques.

Judson prepares to babysit Brian’s kids. Brian realizes he’s now the top at home. The hookup of the week comes all the way from Down Under and features water sports enjoyed with friends both known and previously unknown. The two are then joined by founder and CEO of the iconic Nasty Pig fashion brand, David Lauterstein. David shares the concerns that are top of mind for him this Pride Month, expressing dismay about those within the queer community who police how out, proud, and loud LGBTQ+ folx express their visibility. He also shares his thoughts on Nasty Pig’s nomination in Las Culturistas’ Culture Awards this year and on the uproarious debate on Gay Twitter this past March about the appropriateness of wearing Nasty Pig to nice restaurants. He divulges exciting news for the company and updates Brian and Judson on what’s next for his 2024 memoir, Sodomy Gods. He also gets personal in revealing how his 33-year marriage works, what he’s learned through maintaining a relationship for so many years, and celebrates the queer community for making and living by its own rules. David gives a pep talk to his “fellow Daddy bottoms” who are feeling more invisible as they age, encouraging them to realize that there is a robust market for them. To end, David joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants advice on inviting a friend he and his husband have been crushing on into the bedroom with them.

Judson celebrates one of his top five gay experiences ever in New York City: previous Dads and Daddies guest DJ James Anthony’s afternoon dance party, Unspeakable Joy. Brian considers his week to be quintessential Dads and Daddies, after it turns out to be heavy on both parenting and sexcapades. The Hookup of the Week finds a listener lovingly recounting his first sexual experience with a trans man. Brian and Judson are then joined by Elliot Tuttle, writer and director of Blue Film, available on VOD Friday, June 12. Elliot talks about the various responses he has received to his universally lauded film about a night shared between a camboy and a pederast, and how the story came to him. Judson is inspired by Elliot to reflect on his own past relationships with older men when he was in middle and high school. Elliot also tells Brian and Judson about his path from child movie critic to filmmaker, and explains his belief that the current emphasis on “queer joy” is ruining the taste of gay people. Finally, he goes deep into his favorite topic—dating—and particularly how he’s found his way to having so much fun with it. The episode ends with a Go Ask Your Dad question from a Daddy in a college town who is having trouble finding men his own age, and inadvertently ends up becoming a father figure to the younger men he dates.

Judson and Brian celebrate the second anniversary of the podcast, the launch of Season Three, and the start of Pride Month! Judson spots two gay people at his new place of work and strategizes to befriend them both. Brian provides two theatre recommendations for Pride Month. Judson struggles with sleep issues. Brian shares an Instagram post sent his way that examines the question “Why are gay men so divided on open relationships?” The Hookup of the Week comes from a listener who gets to prove his versatility when a hot connection made while traveling spices up his vacation more than once during his stay. Brian and Judson then begin their Go Ask Your Dad Extravaganza answering five diverse listener questions. They first tackle one about open relationship rules, particularly around repeat hookups; the second asks each to describe their self-care routines; the third wants to know the etiquette around finding people on social media after meeting them at a sex party; the fourth is from a listener who is having trouble with his fiancé’s desire to open the relationship; and the fifth and final question comes from a listener in an open marriage whose Bipolar II disorder makes his libido unpredictable and wants help balancing saving his sexual energy for his husband with allowing himself freedom to have hookups.
