Today’s Show we have my friend that I haven’t had a chance to catch up on in a while. When we last spoke on the show, he was still doing matchmaking on Bravo and on his amazing radio show with our good friend Matt Wall. Today David Cruz is a business owner entrepreneur who started a new business that brings gift giving easier and more fun. Along with one of his best friends, Allan, they created FruitLoots, a fun and curated way to offer gifting for personal and corporate use. From fun, festive, and an occasional naughty gift box can be ordered and delivered to your friends, family and co-workers. The best thing about the company, they specialize in offering content that is made by lgbtq, bipoc, or women owned businesses. Straight allies offer some products as well. It’s always great to catch up with David and I hope you will check out his new company and make his fantastic gift giving ideas part of your celebrating.

Be sure to check out my guest’s Social Media here: @heyfruitloots and you can get information on all their products and order and send at their website, www.fruitloots.com

Today’s Show we have The Handsome and Talented Jim Verraros with me. You should remember Jim as part of the very first season of American Idol, where he made it to the top 10 with power houses like Kelly Clarkson and the entire first season of talented singers. Jim was also in the original “Eating Out” movie franchise and came back in roles for the follow up movies. I was so excited to talk to Jim about his coming out of 12 years of music retirement to launch his brand new single, “Take My Bow.” Jim came out shortly after the show was over and on the American Idol tour. Since then he has been a proud advocate for our lgbtq community. He is currently living in Chicago and married to his husband Sean. I really enjoy this new music and looking forward to see what’s ahead of this talented man.

"5 Questions With.." is a bonus feature from the Left of Str8 Show, where we ask 5 sometimes silly, sometimes serious questions that our curious mind wants to know about our special interview guests from the previous week. Listen in as we ask the fun and quirky type of questions that really get into the personalities of our guests.

Today on 5 Questions, we bring back Clayton James, the handsome Ally and Actor, known for Christmas Movies and last seasons breakout hit on CBS, "So Help Me Todd." This was filmed before the actors strike and during Pride Month, but we had to hold it until now to make sure we did not break any agreements or strike rules. I met Clayton when he starred in a short movie where he played a gay country singer. It was a great role and we had such a great chat, we have been social media friends ever since.

Listen to our five fun questions with Clayton about Singing, Jealousy, Food and more. Clayton tends to live life to the fullest and is rarely on social media, but if he is, you can bet his rescue work for animals is part of it or his beautiful bride Celeste. Be sure to check out all of his work and you can find out more about them all and where to find them on social media, by going to his instagram @iamclaytonjames

Today I'm finally playing one of my favorite interviews that I did way back in June over Pride Month. Clayton James is an amazing actor from Canada that has worked both there and here in the States. Unfortunately, with the writers strike and then the actors strike, it took forever to get permission to play this interview. But since it took place before the actors strike we are able to release it now. You all know how I love me my Christmas Movies and Clayton has starred in a couple of my favorites. He also was on the first season of "So Help Me Todd," with the amazing Skyler Astin and Marcia Gay Hardin.

Clayton is a fantastic ally to the lgbtq community. He was also in a great short playing a gay singer when I first interviewed him over 3 years ago. Since then he has married a lovely model and actress who has an amazing career of her own. He also documented his amazing dogs story thru sickness and is now very dedicated to rescuing dogs in both countries.

Check out Clayton all over social media and though he lives life more than posting, which I admire so much, he can be found at @iamclaytonjames

Today I'm replaying my interview with the Amazing Harry Lopez. Harry was one of the first person I had to talk to when I started my podcast back up in April. His commitment to Latin X, his coaching and speaking abilities, have earned him a huge following. When we recorded this interview, he was traveling the globe and becoming more spiritually grounded than ever before. He has swam with elephants, had coffee in exotic places and recommitted himself to learning and growing. I was so happy to talk to him and I wanted to bring his positivity back this week and replay this interview. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Check out his website at www.harrylouislopez.com and you can find him all over social media.
