This week Jon and Joho sit down with writer and comedian Guy Branumfor a powerful and hilarious conversation about the role of comedy as survival for queer folks. From turning trauma into punchlines to reclaiming joy in spaces not built for us, this episode dives deep into how humor becomes both a defense mechanism and a transformative tool. Guy opens up about his journey toward self-acceptance, using wit to challenge cis-normativity and anti-queer culture, and writing scenes that bring fat and queer representation to the forefront and a reminder that sometimes surviving means being funny — even when it hurts.

In this week’s episode, Jon and Joho sit down with Marquis the “Honey Bear,” for a conversation on visibility, creativity, and liberation. From bold fashion to viral, off-the-wall content, Marquis shares how he’s built a digital presence rooted in joy, style, and self-expression despite the pressures placed on Black, fat, queer bodies.

They also get into his relationship with the Bear identity—exploring desirability, sexuality, and what it means to feel sexy on your own terms. Playful, affirming, and just a little messy, this episode is all about showing up fully and having fun while doing it.

What happens when men — cisgender and gender non-conforming — finally get honest about their bodies? This week, Jon and Joho sit down with Ronald Young Jr. to unpack body image, masculinity, and what healing really looks like in a cultural moment that feels like a 90s throwback. From childhood messaging to inner voice work, this conversation goes deep on body neutrality, self-acceptance, and the labor of unlearning toxic narratives. If you've ever been in a complicated relationship with your own skin, this episode is for you.

What does it mean to be Black, gay, and free — all over the world?

This week, Jon and Joho sit down with Nick, creator of Black, Gay, and Abroad, to talk Black gay travel, safety, and storytelling. From MTV and BuzzFeed to building his own agency and passport-stamping his way across Spain, France, Mexico, Costa Rica, and beyond — Nick is redefining what it looks like to move through the world as a Black gay man.

We get into his iconic Yasss to Naur solo travel safety list, the art of long-form travel blogging in a short-form world, and why he went live from Puerto Vallarta during the El Mencho operation to counter the media narrative with truth on the ground.

Travel tips, queer joy, and citizen journalism — this episode has all of it.
