This week, Matty focuses on one Scary he’s received again and again: “I hate the way I look naked.” After years of gaining and losing weight, trying different diets, and figuring out how to make fitness fit into his life, Matty shares the five things that have helped him build a routine that actually lasts.

He breaks down finding a workout you genuinely enjoy, setting measurable goals, figuring out nutrition without relying on extreme diets, creating accountability, and avoiding the habits that can quietly sabotage your progress. He also gets into the impact of alcohol, the importance of recovery, and why consistency matters more than perfection.

But ultimately, looking good naked isn’t really the point. Matty shares how his relationship with fitness has shifted from chasing a certain body to focusing on performance, longevity, confidence, and taking care of himself.

Because you can want to change your body without hating the one you have now.

The last month has been a whirlwind—from Fourth of July in Provincetown to spending time with my family at our lake house in New Hampshire. In this episode, I’m catching you up on everything that’s happened while answering some of the most requested questions you’ve been sending in.

We get into dating, relationships, friendships, and a lot of the personal questions I’ve never really addressed before. I also answer your Scary submissions, including everything from navigating a bachelor party as the only gay guy to some of the internet’s most ridiculous hypotheticals.

To close out the episode, I share my thoughts on the conversation surrounding Nantucket’s viral “No Influencers” sign and why it sparked so much debate. If you’ve been waiting for a life update, this one’s for you.

This week, Matt is joined by creator Benjamin Chipman for a conversation about navigating your twenties when everyone else seems to have it all figured out.

From growing up in New England and navigating Boston’s unique gay scene to graduating during COVID and entering adulthood in a world full of uncertainty, they reflect on the experiences that shaped them. They share the biggest lessons they’ve learned in their twenties, discuss building a career outside of your 9-to-5, and debate whether Boston or New York really comes out on top.

Plus, they answer listener submissions about quarter-life crises, career anxiety, relationships, and the pressure to have your life together before you actually do.

I asked you to send me your most controversial assumptions, opinions, and theories about me… and you absolutely delivered.

In this solo episode of The Scaries, I’m rating your assumptions as true, false, or it’s complicated while opening up about the topics I don’t usually address online.

We talk about whether I’m actually nice in person, being called a fame chaser, why I came out publicly, the importance of LGBTQ+ representation, privilege versus being “spoiled,” and why the internet is so fascinated with my sex life.

Then we wrap things up with a rapid-fire round featuring your funniest (and most unhinged) assumptions—from sitting down to pee to giving away my credit card while blacked out.

This episode is about perception, identity, and the reminder that we’re all a lot more complicated than the version of ourselves people see on social media.

This week, Matt is joined by creator, journalist, and Gen Me host Daniel Dana, who shares why he walked away from ABC News and Good Morning America to build a career on his own terms.

They talk about Daniel’s surreal first interview with Vera Wang, learning by doing instead of waiting until you’re “ready,” the realities of becoming a creator, and why so many people feel stuck between a stable career and taking a leap.

They also get into internet culture, the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama, growing up in Miami, constantly being mistaken for Hispanic, the weirdest trends Daniel has covered, and—somehow—his completely irrational fear of yogurt.

Plus, they answer Scaries submissions about quitting your job without a plan, feeling embarrassed to post online, family members who don’t think content creation is a real career, and staying sane when TikTok makes the world feel like it’s ending.

Reality TV expert Zachary Reality joins The Scaries to break down everything happening in the world of reality television—from Love Island and Bachelor Nation to Bravo drama, behind-the-scenes tea, and the biggest stories on and off the screen.

Matt and Zach discuss the future of The Bachelor, the Amanda & West fallout, the ethics of spilling reality TV gossip, and which shows are actually worth watching right now.

Then they flip the script as Zach puts Matt in the hot seat to talk about his own reality TV experience, what viewers didn’t see, and his current love life.

Happy Father’s Day, Scaries. This week, Matt recaps Pride Month in NYC and shares his thoughts on Olivia Rodrigo’s new album before diving into some of the most unhinged listener submissions we’ve ever received.

We’re talking accidental family encounters on dating apps, anonymous hookups gone horribly wrong, ankle bracelets in the bedroom, and the awkward reality of sleeping with someone only to end up at his wife’s bakery the very next day.

Plus, a listener wonders if it’s too late to restart their life at 29, leading to a conversation about career pivots, taking risks, and why your timeline might not be as far behind as you think.

Happy Father’s Day. This one is absolute chaos. 💀🌈🫡

For week two of our Pride Month series, Matt reflects on the first year since coming out and shares the five things he wishes someone had told him beforehand.

From fears that never came true, to navigating dating, friendship, identity, and self-worth, this is an honest, vulnerable, and occasionally chaotic look at what life has actually been like on the other side of the closet.

Whether you’re LGBTQ+, questioning, coming out later in life, or simply figuring out who you are, this episode is for you.

It’s officially Pride Month, and Billy Duke is back for the first episode of our Pride series. The two reflect on their friendship and the past year since Matt came out, sharing stories from their adventures, favorite memories, and everything that’s changed along the way. Plus, they reveal their official Pride Ins & Outs for 2026 and share their favorite gay bars in NYC.

Also in this episode: Billy learns the original purpose of a jockstrap, we read Scaries submitted by members of the LGBTQ+ community, and we close things out with another chaotic round of This or That. 🌈🏳️‍🌈

The questions keep getting worse, so naturally we’re doing a Part 2. This week I’m answering more of your questions, including whether I’d ever start an OnlyFans, addressing the rumors about my shlong, and the biggest differences between dating men and dating women.

I also rank some of NYC’s most overrated and underrated spots and share a few opinions that will probably get me into trouble. No guest. No filter. Just me continuing to answer the questions I probably should’ve ignored.
