This episode, Eamon & Merlin talk Part Three of The Valley reunion, where Janet and Jason take legalese to a whole new level, as we bid farewell to the former number one guy in the group. Then, two new episodes of Real Housewives of Miami, where nothing is civil in Seville, whether it’s a dog fight between Alexia and Stephanie or a follower fight between Larsa and Lisa. And finally, Real Housewives of Orange County, where Tamra’s shocking claim about Katie leads to Gretchen on edge and a drunken Tamra going over it. Maybe for the last time.

5:03 - The Valley: Season 02: Episode 18

We are Eamon and Merlin, a queer married couple from Texas living in Pittsburgh, PA. We love reality television, wrestling, drag queens, and pretty much anything that can be called even kinda gay. A Gay & His Enby is a podcast where we talk about everything we love in terms of media and pop culture; everything thats gay and gay adjacent; basically all the conversations we have in our living room we are now putting in front of a microphone and on the internet for you.

We have launched our MERCH STORE! We are so excited to bring you these designs, all made by Merlin, commemorating some of our favorite iconic moments! Shop now at https://AGayAndHisEnby.Threadless.com

Every week, we have the pleasure and privilege of recording from Sorgatron Media Studios in Pittsburgh. The theme song for our main show is Pulsar by Shane Ivers, and the theme song for Binge Watch is Higher Up by Shane Ivers, both of which you can find at https://www.silvermansound.com

We want to take a moment to uplift a powerful resource:

Let us be crystal clear: A Gay & His Enby stands for immigrant rights. Period.

This isn’t just politics—it’s about people. Families being torn apart. Communities being surveilled and silenced. And the same systems that criminalize immigrants also criminalize Black people, trans people, queer people, disabled people—anyone who doesn’t fit white supremacist standards of “belonging.”

We believe:

If you’ve ever wondered how to help, this guide is a great place to start. Share it. Donate if you can. Speak out even when it’s uncomfortable.

None of us are free until all of us are free.

In recent years, states have pushed forward a record number of bills that attack LGBTQ rights, especially transgender youth. The current obession with Drag Queens is no exception. This is a thinly veiled attempt to outlaw gender expressions that do not fall within the cisheteronormative guidelines.

📍 Recorded from Sorgatron Media Studios in Pittsburgh, PA

Join host Jim Ellermeyer, behavioral health therapist, for a powerful Fishing Without Bait conversation on living with integrity, building internal validation, and focusing on solutions rather than problems—even in the face of political division and global conflict. Jim shares the five core attributes that shape a grounded life: knowing right from wrong, having a moral compass, being dependable, being honest, and treating others with courtesy and respect.

Drawing from his deep roots in the 12-step recovery world, Jim explains why magnifying problems only fuels negativity, and how “studied indifference” and critical thinking can help us see past misinformation in today’s polarized media environment. He and co-host Mike discuss the need for unity, the dangers of outside forces driving division, and the importance of leaders who act with integrity.

Jim also offers a heartfelt reflection on the Israel–Gaza conflict, expressing support for Israel’s right to exist while condemning the killing of innocents and calling for compassion for all human beings. His words challenge us to look beyond sides and politics, focusing instead on shared humanity.

This episode, Eamon & Merlin talk Part Two of The Valley reunion, where accountability is the word of the night, and some of the worst accepters of it dish out the most critique. Then, a new episode of Real Housewives of Miami, where the ladies drop the petty and get preppy, with a grand prize of a plane ride with Stephanie up for grabs.. And finally, Real Housewives of Orange County, that sees the women head to NOLA and bond over turtle soup before the underlying tensions come to the surface.

💡 “What We Learned” Segment Highlights

Fishing Without Bait—hosted by Jim Ellermeyer—continues our conversation (Part 3) with TEDx speaker and best‑selling author Nick Jonsson (Executive Loneliness). We unpack executive mental health, burnout, and recovery as Nick describes moving from “I have to” to “I choose,” owning financial insecurities, confronting toxic masculinity, and evolving from command‑and‑control leadership to an identity grounded in values rather than titles or status.

Jim and Nick explore 12‑step spirituality versus religion, daily prayer in sobriety, and how service informed Nick’s men’s community Limitless after supporting Singapore’s SOS Samaritans—offering a safe space that can interrupt isolation and suicide risk.

Nick also shares professional growth—studying psychotherapy and counseling at the School of Positive Psychology and leading leadership workshops in the Maldives—plus practical coaching for busy executives with flexible scheduling and a whole‑life Wheel of Life approach.  His book Executive Loneliness is available on Amazon and Audible; learn more at www.nickjonsson.com.

Topics: vulnerability in leadership, amends and family healing, community support for men, suicide prevention, mindfulness, and choosing authenticity at work and at home.
