Judson learns how to sleep in with coaching from his husband. Brian starts to feel a more distinct separation between himself and his straight friends. The two discover a kinship with the late Joel Schumacher, director of films including The Lost Boys, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. The Hookup of the Week is so hot it almost blows the roof off of Brian’s basement and finds the listener living out many of Brian’s and Judson’s fantasies rolled into one. Before the break, Brian reveals the next Dads and Daddies Book Club selection, Kink for Dummies by Jaime M. Grant and future podcast guest, Jack Harrison-Quintana. The two are overjoyed to then welcome back to the studio, Dads and Daddies’ very own Dr. Daddy, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, Chief Medical Officer at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York City, a leader in LGBTQ+ healthcare both locally and nationally. Dr Demetre brings Brian and Judson up to speed on the developments in his life and career in the eight months since his prior appearance on the podcast, including a move from Atlanta to NYC, and taking on Callen-Lorde's medical leadership. He teaches Brian and Judson about syndemics (synergistic epidemics), what they mean for the queer community, and the initiative he introduced at Callen-Lorde to help LGBTQ+ people live their full lives in the safest ways possible. He also explains PrEP on demand, injectable PrEP, and the relationship between Undetectable and Untransmittable. He talks about Big Pharma and the queer community, and the less obvious reasons we need to make universal healthcare a reality in the United States. He also talks about his philosophy that self-care as LGBTQ+ people is the highest form of rebellion, and describes what self-care looks like for him, personally. To close, Dr. Demetre fulfills his promise and answers not one, but four medical Go Ask Your Dad questions that have been submitted since his first time on the show.
