Iffy

The boys get into Brennan's post Fire Island referendum, defining love, spirituality and  hookup culture, Sylvia Plath's bad poetry, wanting to be objectified, reaching for identity, the Balenciaga show, the tenuousness of relationships, taking accountability, creating a tribunal and making everyone God but God. 

A crossover moment with Dan Allegretto from the DIAL #DAN podcast. The boys get into their anti-pride post-pride experiences, monkeypox and chiggers, queer fashion as bad, Club Glam, monogamous relationships and PrEP usage, dissociative "hot" sex, our lonely youths, queer eye for the queer guy, fire island and Riis beach, and leaning into the 4th of July. 

The boys get into teens canceling teens, the space in between holidays, becoming irrelevant, things losing meaning, emotional pain as identity, fake queerness, Tori Amos, bi for clout, Napster and LimeWire, porn merch, airport fashion, the masturbation roadmap, and Ninja Thyberg's Pleasure. 

The fellers get into breakup culture and its bad advice, the need to be right vs. greeting peace, social media rehab, the mystery of letting go, swimming in emotional purgatory, crying on ketamine, our old new old NYC therapists, preserving romantic nostalgia, woke group therapy sessions, breaking up with friends, our college diets,  and that base Trader Joe's work culture. 

The fellers discuss avoiding domesticated animals' anxiety, foreigners' needless judgement, Jung's search for the one in all things, the emotional consequence of random sex, self social isolation, David Odyssey's and Reece Sisto's take on the Sniffies discourse, creating within the collective, Larry Kramer's take on promiscuity, and tech companies facilitating intimacy. 

The fellers get into heterosexuals' use of poppers, the fake fall of Dimes Square, online sensuality, dudes nude, the fraudulent queer minority, hooking up with people you don't want to, happiness as anxiety as happiness, Calabasas as a state of mind, cynical criticism, the continual Depp Heard vortex, stupid NYC nostalgia, and dreading Pride. 

The infallible Shawn Frank pops in to discuss ego, his suicide attempt, spending time in the Woodhull psych ward, his mother's suicide, the apocalyptic Bushwick nabe, AA vs NA, being a drug addict, his parents' gaudy rich expenditures, the mentally ill Jada Pinkett Smith, Lawng Island, loving and waring with women, Spice Girls, talentless people, the apolitical approach, dating trans people, his insta battle with an untethered fan, gayness, narcissism, choosing to love and understand folk, David Foster Wallace, Tim Dillon, body positivity and diminishing fantasy.
