Dads And Daddies

Judson and Brian talk Addiction and Recovery

Judson shares a story about a repeat hookup gone right. Brian shares his fear that there may be a hacker interfering with his hookup prospects. Brian then interviews Judson at his most open and honest about his drug and alcohol addiction, and his ongoing journey through Recovery. This week’s Go Ask Your Dad is on theme, as Judson and Brian respond to a question asking how to approach a friend when there is serious concern about their use of substances.

Judson and Brian talk Roleplay

Brian and Judson each talk about how they’re back in the saddle after some time away from certain habits.  Brian gives yet another theater review, this time for the Broadway play, “JOB”. Judson then guides Brian through the world of sexual roleplay. They close by discussing how challenging it can be to relax when bottoming during a hookup in response to this week’s Go Ask Your Dad question

Judson and Brian hookup with Chris Murphy

This week, Judson and Brian recount their night at the opening of “Oh Mary!” on Broadway before welcoming actor, comedian, Vanity Fair culture writer and co-host of Vanity Fair’s Still Watching podcast Chris Murphy!  Chris joins our Dad and Daddy to talk about his Daddy Issues around sharing space and managing time after moving in with his boyfriend.  He also helps Judson and Brian address this week’s Go Ask Your Dad question about whether or not there should be a limit in how large an age gap can be in a romantic relationship.

Judson and Brian talk Sides

Judson shares an incredible story about what began as a spontaneous day trip to Fire Island and ends up as a profound moment of Daddy-ness. Brian presents a series of questions that some of our straight listeners have posed to us after hearing our first several episodes. Together they discuss the broad menu of sexual pleasures available outside of penetration as both have recently reopened their minds to Side activity. To end, this week’s Go Ask Your Dad question comes from a cisgender poly queer man, married to a woman with whom he has kids, who wants to overcome the challenges of dating other men as someone who doesn’t feel seen as a member of the gay community.

Judson and Brian talk Shame

Judson describes his first few days vape-free. Brian gives his review of “Cats: The Jellicle Ball.”  Then, the two examine what makes them feel the most shame, and how they each attempt to manage it.  They end with a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who has discovered that a favorite hookup of his isn’t open, he’s cheating.

Judson and Brian talk Positions

After Judson and Brian compare notes on their childhood concert-going experiences, discuss the right attitude with which to approach a sex party, and share how they each broke (or tried to break) their month-long streaks of not having hookups, the two enter into a breakdown of the top-bottom-vers continuum, and their personal journeys through all sides of it. Finally, this week’s Go Ask Your Dad question covers how to navigate having a threesome in a relationship when you feel your partner gets greedy with the third.

Judson and Brian talk Age

In this week’s episode, Brian recounts one daughter’s first encounter with homophobia and his other daughter’s talent show triumph giving a drag performance. Judson describes the options available to find places to hookup when neither party can host. Then, the two enter into a discussion inspired by a listener email about the myth of “gay death” at 30. They end the episode addressing a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who’s single and asks how to navigate all the married, open men on the apps when he might want more than only sex.

Judson and Brian talk The Apps

Block. Ghost. Flake. Catfish. SUCCESS! Repeat. Sound familiar? After recapping Judson’s weekend in Los Angeles and Brian’s week coming out to his straight friends about his open marriage, our Dad and Daddy discuss the joys and pitfalls of the most common gay hookup apps, offer some insight on good app etiquette and provide tips on how to detect if a prospective hookup is partying. To cap it off, they respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question about making new friends as an adult gay man in the post-COVID era.

Judson and Brian talk Fighting Fair

In their second episode, Judson and Brian celebrate the joy and vibrance of introducing their new podcast at the Pride Festival in Brooklyn, NY, before tackling the delicate topic of fighting fair in relationships.

Lastly, they confront the uncomfortable reality of encountering racism and transphobia during a hookup as they answer this week’s Go Ask Your Dad question.
