It sounds like Wes and Phillip had some interesting trips recently. Wes had a challenging experience going back to Austin for Pride, dealing with anxiety and trauma. It's important to acknowledge that traveling can sometimes trigger emotions and memories, and it's brave of Wes to open up about his struggles.

On the other hand, Phillip seems to have had a more positive experience, enjoying Beyoncé's performance in Atlanta with his niece and nephew and celebrating Pride in Charlotte with his friend Omar.

This week Wes and Phillip talk about the gift of singlness. The guys navigate being single and how it can change over time. People often move in and out of relationships throughout their lives, not just romanticize ones, and the right relationship status can vary depending on individual goals and circumstances. Ultimately, whether being single is a positive or negative experience depends on the individual's perspective and the way they approach it. They talk about becoming a better you and what one would do to be prepared for a new relationship.

This week Phillip sits down with his brother, Daniel, to discuss a life-changing event that caused him to quit the ministry and return to being a lawyer. He discusses the pressures he had as a minister during this very difficult situation, and how this event helped to shape his views on Christianity. Phillip discusses why you should never say the phrase "God won't put you through anything you can't handle", and gets Daniel's response to the question, " Why is homosexuality considered by many Christians to be the worst sin?".

In today's episode, we unpack the intricacies of modern dating in the digital age.

This week, Phillip and Wes talk about a wide range of topics.

Wes discusses why spray painting swastikas will land you in jail, the history of pickleball, the passing of the iconic Pee Wee Herman, and tries to decide if it's ok to date out of his age range.

This week's episode is a tribute to the life and career of Lynn Anderson, a beloved country music legend who left an indelible mark on the industry. We begin by tracing Lynn Anderson's early beginnings, growing up in a musical family and honing her skills as a singer and performer. We highlight her breakthrough moment with the iconic song "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" which catapulted her to international fame and became one of the most recognized country music hits of all time. She had a unique style and voice which combined a traditional country music sound with contemporary influences. Her success was not limited to a single hit, as she consistently delivered chart-topping songs that resonated with audiences across generations. Beyond her musical achievements, we explore Anderson's role as a trailblazer for women in country music. At a time when female voices were often marginalized, she shattered barriers and paved the way for future generations of female artists. Her amazing daughters, Lisa and Bunny, join us in the studio to give us a first-hand account of growing up with a famous mom, and the legacy she wanted to leave.
