    Brian and Judson hookup with Jason Veasey and talk Best Medicine, his secret to a successful long-term relationship, reclaiming sexuality after the HIV diagnosis, and advocating for queer Black-on-Black love on TV

    It’s a party weekend! Judson prepares for a friend’s bachelor party in Chicago, and Brian prepares to celebrate his husband’s birthday on the Saturday, and his younger daughter’s on the Sunday. They attend screenings on consecutive nights of the new movie, Pillion, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, and compare notes with one another for the first time since. Together, Brian and Judson take a seat on The Big C*nty Couch with drag queen Gina Spears and her longtime friend Mike Fails. Our recent episode on Deshaming Sluttiness inspires a listener to submit a Hookup of the Week about his competition with a friend to see who can fill the pages of their little black books faster. Brian and Judson are then joined by star of stage and screen Jason Veasey, currently co-starring in the new comedy-drama, “Best Medicine,” on Fox and Hulu. Jason talks about the joy of being on the sets of both his current show and “Only Murders in the Building,” his desire to represent gay men our age on screen as sexual beings, and the need for more depictions of queer Black-on-Black love and sex in TV and film. He also gets personal and chats with Brian and Judson about sexual comfort levels, the value he places on sex in his relationship, being in a long-term relationship without living together, reclaiming his sexuality after his HIV diagnosis, sharing the news of his diagnosis with his family, and what it took for him to realize that he’s versatile in bed. Jason then helps Brian and Judson address a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants to know how he should conduct himself around his grade school-age niblings when the MAGA members of his husband’s extended family feel that kids shouldn’t know that gay people exist.

    Brian and Judson talk Deshaming Sluttiness, Heated Rivalry, Spontaneous Sex and Hooking Up with Celebrities

    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.
