  • Hot Takes | Marriage Dos & Donts
    In this episode of Husbantr Hot Takes, David and J. Brandon are sharing some of their biggest marriage dos and don'ts, and nothing is off limits.
    From whether it's ever okay to poop while your spouse is in the bathroom to why talking behind your partner's back can quietly damage a relationship, they tackle the habits that strengthen a marriage and the ones that can slowly tear it apart. Along the way, they discuss the importance of brutal honesty, healthy communication, respecting boundaries and knowing when to laugh at yourselves.
    Equal parts funny, heartfelt and refreshingly honest, this episode is filled with personal stories, hot takes and plenty of moments that will have couples saying, "Yep... we've been there."

  • Hot Takes | The Downside of Therapy
    Welcome back to another Husbantr Hot Takes, our between-season series where we dive into one topic that's been living rent-free in our heads.
    This week, we're talking about The Downside of Therapy.
    Before anyone comes for us, let us be crystal clear. We are huge proponents of therapy and truly believe it can be life-changing. But just because something is good doesn't mean it's beyond criticism.
    From bad therapists and poor advice to people who weaponize what they've learned in therapy, we're unpacking the conversations that don't happen nearly enough. Is every therapist the right fit? Can therapy language be misused? And when does "doing the work" become an excuse instead of a solution?
    It's an honest, thoughtful and sometimes hilarious conversation about the side of therapy we don't talk about enough.

  • Hot Takes | Am I Enough?
    In this episode of Husbantr Hot Takes, David and J. Brandon tackle a question that many people quietly ask themselves: Am I Enough?
    The husbands explore the complexities of identity and belonging, reflecting on their experiences as queer people, people of color, and individuals who have often felt caught between worlds. From feeling like outsiders in spaces that should feel like home to sometimes feeling disconnected within their own communities, they discuss the challenges of navigating identities that don't always fit neatly into a box.
    Through honest conversation, David and J. Brandon share how racism, discrimination, and other obstacles have shaped their journeys—not only testing their confidence but ultimately helping them build resilience, self-worth, and a deeper understanding of who they are.
    It's a candid discussion about belonging, self-acceptance, and the ongoing work of believing that, despite what the world may say, they are enough.

    In this episode of Husbantr Hot Takes, David and J. Brandon dive into the complicated, funny and sometimes completely misunderstood world of love languages. From words of affirmation to quality time, the husbands unpack how they each give and receive love, where they naturally align, and where things can occasionally get lost in translation.

    Whether you’re in a long-term partnership, dating, married, or just trying to better understand the people you love, this episode is a reminder that love is rarely one-size-fits-all. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
