In this episode, Behk and LAH welcome a dear friend from their early twenties, John, to share his compelling and raw story from an LGBTQ+ perspective. Join us as John opens up about his tumultuous journey through a toxic relationship with a successful and influential partner who helped open doors for him in the theater world.


Topics Discussed:

  • Behk runs into a fan adjacent in the wild
  • Meet Behk’s bestie, John
  • A lesbian, a gay guy, and a witch walk into a bar
  • John talks about his toxic relationship with “the greatest showman”
  • Understanding the narc is a conundrum
  • Starting over
  • The Stephen Baldwin Story


While navigating the complexities of a power dynamic that often left him feeling overshadowed, John balanced his own ambitious endeavors—running for office and launching a non-profit in Africa. At the peak of his game, instead of receiving support, John faced manipulation and betrayal. His narcissistic partner employed various tactics to steal the spotlight and even cheated on him, adding layers of emotional turmoil to an already challenging situation.


Naturally woven into the conversation, the trio’s ADHD veers them off into a series of fun topics and wild stories from their youth, reminiscing about the carefree days and the adventures they shared.


Tune in for a heartfelt and candid discussion blends introspection with nostalgia, and eye-opening insights, shedding light on the complexities of love and friendship.
