Dads And Daddies

Judson is reflective after a trip to visit his mom, and shares a piece of American history he’s recently realized made a huge impact on his life. Brian has a record-breaking week of sex, between hookups, a party and his husband. An exquisitely written and performed Hookup of the Week tells the tale of a top who steps out of his comfort zone and into a submissive role in a public space. Brian and Judson are then joined by Ben Zumsteg, founder of Disco Fizz, a new premium non-alcoholic drink brand focused on serving queer nightlife. Ben shares the origins of his disordered relationship with alcohol, his personal journey to an alcohol-free life, the gay bar problem he’s trying to solve, how he knew it was the right time to start his own business, and his challenge being approached as a Daddy when he still wants to be a Good Boy. Ben then joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question submitted by a listener who wants help building and maintaining self-confidence.

Judson recommends Patrick Ryan’s novel, Buckeye, available online at https://bookshop.org/p/books/buckeye-a-read-with-jenna-pick-a-novel-patrick-ryan/2f797dff8597226f?ean=9780593595039&next=t

Brian and Judson discuss “Heated Rivalry” at long last. Judson makes a plan to meet up with a friend who he hasn’t seen or spoken with in over 15 years, and who is the last person to whom he has to make amends. Brian makes subtle changes in the bedroom that have significant payoff for his marital sex life, and offers an update to a controversial statement he made on an early episode of the podcast. The Hookup of the Week follows the adventures of two couples who meet at a Halloween party, and end up traveling together for a weekend in upstate New York that includes many tricks and treats. For the main segment, the two focus on a topic for the first time in over three months! In a discussion about Deshaming Sluttiness, Brian looks to Judson after a particularly active day of hookups to make sure it’s okay that he doesn't feel remorse about his "promiscuous" behavior.  They close by responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who hooked up with a professional athlete and is now being approached by the athlete’s family asking him to stay silent for a fee.

Corrections and clarifications:

Both DayUse.com and HotelsByDay.com are sites that offer booking of hotels for day use only without overnight stays.

The other website mentioned by Judson was missing an ‘s’ at the end of its name before the “.com”.  The term he used should be plural.

Judson celebrates his 43rd birthday. Brian shares a list of trans Girl Scouts from whom listeners can order cookies. Judson and Brian appear together on Brandon Kyle Goodman’s podcast, Tell Me Something Messy, and the conversation that ensues inspires them to consider a new business venture.The two receive an outrageously misguided pitch for a guest on the show.  Brian struggles with how to label himself on the apps. Judson extols the virtues of flipping in bed. The Hookup of the Week becomes a Go Ask Your Dad question when the listener shares a story about a regular hookup he wants more from, and also wants advice on how to start the conversation. Brian and Judson are then joined by Aidan Wharton, creator of the Substack bestseller, Gay Buffet, and host of Getting Close, a podcast that aims to revive humanity’s connection skills, which Aidan warns are being intentionally destroyed by the tech companies that control the world. Aidan shares how he found his purpose, how he knew that monogamy wasn’t for him, his exploration of open relationships through his writing, the cardinal rule of his open marriage, and how Grindr is useful for so much more than finding sex. Aidan then joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who has discovered that he and his husband are no longer on the same page about the status of their open relationship, after a series of changes to their work and living situations.

Brian and Judson are then joined by Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and NY Drama Critics Circle awards-winning comedy writer for stage and screen, Robert Horn. Robert shares incredible stories from throughout his life, ranging from the time he set his home on fire as a child to the underground way in which he maintained contact with his sister after they were sent to separate orphanages, to his sexual awakening while at the orphanage, to the impact the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization made on his life. He tells them about his move to Manhattan where he made money any way he could–legal or not, his move to Los Angeles where his TV writing career took off, and his most recent chapter writing hit after hit on Broadway and the West End. Robert talks about his marriage to his true southern gentleman husband John, his thoughts on the evolution of queer culture, and the challenges of aging as a gay man.
