A few months ago, we received a message from the co hosts of the "Unpacked Podcast" out of Alberta, Canada. Evan and Tara wanted to do a crossover episode with us. They describe their podcast as "A podcast that explores life as messy people. It's conversations with counsellors, industry leaders, and stroytellers, discussing their experiences of behing human." In Part 1, we discuss their first exposure to the LGBT community, how people confuse tradition with theology, and they share a story of how a friendship with a gay man, changed their views on their church and relgion as a whole. https://www.unpackedpod.ca/

In this fur-tastic episode, we dive deep into the world of furries - those folks who have mastered the art of blending human and animal vibes into one fabulously fuzzy existence.

We are on a mission to unravel the mystery behind those colorful fur suits and the incredible creativity that fuels this community.

 The Mail Bag Episodes have always been the most popular since we started the podcast. Over the last few months, the guys have received many emails specifically about dating and the issues around it. In today's episode, the guys answer emails dealing with everything from fantasizing about someone other than your partner to the ethics behind eating the free continental breakfast at a hotel after a hook-up.

In this episode, we delve into the captivating world of stand-up comedy, and why it can be the perfect hobby or career for someone that doesn't think they are funny. Nicole joins Phillip in the studio this week to discuss how to get started in comedy, facing stage fright, and how comedy has personally affected both of them. You can see Phillip and Nicole on November 10th, at Third Coast Comedy Club in Nashville for the show "Cheaper Than Therapy". @thirdcoastcomedyclub

Personal accountability can actually be a catalyst for positive change in our lives. We live in a world where it's easy to blame others, circumstances, or even fate for our failures and shortcomings. But true growth and empowerment come from within, from owning up to our actions and decisions. Join the guys as they discuss their struggles with accountability 

Do you know why we celebrate Halloween? Join us as we unravel the ancient Celtic rituals that inspired this haunted holiday, explore the origins of trick-or-treating, and discover the fascinating history behind some of the spookiest Halloween legends.

Today, we are delving into the ever-changing world of LGBTQ news. Join Wes and Phillip as they explore current issues affecting the LGBTQ community. First up is the controversial bill just recently passed in Florida that led to the removal of all books featuring LGBTQ characters from libraries and school media centers. We stay in Florida for the second story involving lowering the death penalty threshold and why that may or may not be a good idea. Next up, the guys discuss what happens when a straight man realizes he is in a gay bar and the dramatic reaction he has. Finally, they discuss a news story that affects them personally regarding the upcoming election for mayor in Franklin, TN. This is the story of a MAGA-supporting candidate, Gabrielle Hanson, and her previous prostitution and money laundering charges, as well as her attempts to ban Pride in that town. 

The podcast has already covered dating in the gay world and from the perspective of straight women, so today, it's time to talk to a straight guy. Jeremiah joins the guys in studio to discuss the complex world of modern dating, including rules of texting, the do's and don'ts on a date, and the red flags to avoid. They finish the episode with a quiz about current dating terms.

It's time for another installment of the popular Mailbag series where we respond to some of the emails and messages we have received over the last few months. We talk about a matchmaking service, changing our views on the trans community, circuit parties, and Phillip gets mad when someone calls him out on his ignorance about Absinthe.

Have you ever wanted to slow down and be more present? In a world that is changing so rapidly, sometimes this can be a very hard task. Being able to shift your focus, pay attention to your senses, and disconnect from technology is an art... that we should all work on. Join the guys as they discuss this in their own lives.
