About this episode

The episode features a candid discussion among the hosts about various aspects of life as Black queer men, including dating, friendship, and community issues.

This week, Justin B. Smith, AP, and Dupree are in the hot seat, and nothing is off limits. Presented by Jack’d, the crew kicks off Pride season with a conversation about dating apps, Pride weekends, friendship, relationships, self-sabotage, attraction, masculinity, and the lessons they’ve learned while navigating life as Black queer men. From building the perfect Black Pride starter pack to discussing what catches their attention on dating apps, the conversation quickly turns into something deeper. The hosts open up about friendship evaluations, showing up for the people you love, the realities of dating, and the ways ego, fear, and past experiences can get in the way of meaningful connections. They also tackle bigger conversations around the Black gay community, respectability politics, anti-femininity, dating preferences, activism, and the responsibility we have to show up for one another. Funny, vulnerable, messy, and surprisingly heartfelt, this episode reminds us that sometimes the hottest conversations happen when you’re willing to be honest. Special thanks to our sponsor, Jack’d.
