    The No-No Zone, Ozempic Truths & Releasing Generational Trauma | Ep 48

    If your life keeps serving you the same drama in a different outfit, this episode is the intervention you didn't know you needed. Mylo sits back down with transformational coach Kristen (of Sunflower Connections and activatemyvision.com) for Part 2 of a conversation that is equal parts therapy session, comedy special, and straight-up truth bomb. From "matching era energy" to the legendary Mylo No-No Zone (a 360-degree energetic force field, not just a geographic location), this episode is a masterclass in knowing who you are, protecting what you've built, and finally giving yourself permission to thrive — loudly, unapologetically, and without the $600K goal card. This is the part where Mylo says what you've been thinking but were too scared to put into the universe.

    Generational Trauma, Peptide Stacks & Losing $20K | Ep 47

    Buckle up, because Mylo brought in the big guns — and no, we don't mean a new mortgage product.  Guest Kristen Maurer, Master Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming, Mental Emotion Release, and Hypnotherapy (yes, that's her actual title — say it three times fast), joins the pod to get into the deep, unfiltered, root-cause work of healing.  We're talking about the stuff that's been living rent-free in your subconscious since before you were even born — because yes, generational trauma is science, honey, look it up. Mylo gets personal about losing $20K in back-to-back deal collapses, choosing faith over frustration, and why pausing is a power move, not a delay.  From surviving sexual trauma to standing fully in her power, Mylo delivers the kind of raw, unscheduled honesty that therapy charges by the hour for. Don't miss this one.

    31 Institutions, 1 Survivor: Amber Rogers Tells ALL | Ep 46

    In Part 2 of this raw, unfiltered conversation on generational trauma, Amber breaks down 31 involuntary psychiatric commitments, a harrowing stay at Green Oaks in Dallas, and what it truly means when the system designed to help you becomes another abuser.  From Britney Spears' conservatorship to Wendy Williams' financial takeover, the girls connect the dots between power, silence, and who gets to decide when a woman is "well." Plus, a fire conversation about her new diversity committee role, the ugly backlash she didn't expect, and why she's done internalizing other people's mess.  This episode closes with some of the most quotable energy you'll hear this year: "It is a reflection of you, not a projection from me."  Subscribe, share, and join us — Ben is closing deals, but Mylo, Amber, and all the truth are right here waiting for you.  Chapters:  0:00 - Intro: 31 Institutions in 17 Years 1:00 - The Green Oaks Experience (Dallas) 3:00 - Medication, Rights & the Mental Health System 5:00 - Britney, Wendy & Conservatorship Corruption 7:00 - Healing, Parents & Knowing When to Be a Friend 9:00 - What People on Wellness Journeys Actually Need 10:00 - Grooming, Trauma & Being a Capital Murder Witness 12:00 - Victim vs. Survivor: Reclaiming the Label 15:00 - Diversity Committee Drama & Reverse Racism Backlash 18:00 - Why Trauma Survivors Internalize the Blame 21:00 - Survivor Superpowers & Living in Affirmations 23:00 - Surrounding Yourself With the Right People 28:00 - Reality TV: The Dark Side Behind the Camera 30:00 - Setting Boundaries & Matching Energy 33:00 - No More Paying for People Who Only Take #MyloAndBenThePodcast #GenerationalTrauma #MentalHealthAwareness #TraumaHealing #SurvivorStory #MentalHealthAdvocacy #AmberRogers #WomensEmpowerment #BreakTheSilence #ConservatorshipReform #BritneySpears #WendyWilliams #HealingJourney #BoundariesMatter #DFWPodcast #BlackAndBrownMentalHealth #MatchingEnergy #PodcastLife #NewEpisode

    From Cougar Confessions to JPS Psych Ward: Amber Rogers Tells On Everybody | Ep 45

    Ben took a personal day, so it's Mylo and Friend this week — and honey, Mylo did not book a guest who plays small. Amber Rogers pulls up to the couch, kicks off her four-inch heels, and hands us a story so layered we needed a Part 1 and a Part 2. We start where every healthy podcast starts: complaining about Uber cutting off the BOGO coupons, getting a boyfriend banned for life over a maskless makeout in the backseat, and Mylo officially trademarking the No-No Zone™. From there it’s Amber explaining how she became a cougar by accident and accidentally fell in love with the 28-year-old who finally taught her what a healthy relationship looks like. And then. Honey. And then. Amber pivots into the real reason she's here: generational trauma, and what happens when a child grows up watching grandpa cheat, grandma sleep on the couch, and silence get called "love." She unpacks the Dr. Phil episode where her mother went on national television and called her childhood perfect — despite police reports going back to 1980, despite being raped at 14 by the same man who later murdered her best friend, despite moving out at 15. We talk Origins rehab, why love addiction got mistreated as drug addiction, and how she walked away from meth as a choice — not a cure. Bring tissues. And maybe a Xanax. We're not your therapist — but we'll sit with you. Chapters:  00:00 Cold Open: 31 Mental Institutions in 17 Years 01:00 Bye Ben, Hi Amber — Welcome to the Couch 01:45 "Mom, Did You Tell Them It's Two Gay Men?" 02:30 The Uber Tantrum (and a Boyfriend Banned for Life) 04:30 The No-No Zone & Minding Your Damn Business 05:30 Sodomy Laws & Where Two Gay Men Refuse to Travel 07:30 Yachting, Below Deck Energy & Dating the Client 10:00 Cougar Confessions: The 28-Year-Old Love of Her Life 13:00 "I Was Conditioned to Abuse" — Naming the Generational Trauma 14:00 Grandpa's Affair, Grandma's Couch & What "Normal" Looks Like 15:30 Britney Spears, Mental Health & Being the Family Scapegoat 22:00 The Dr. Phil Episode & Mom's "Perfect Childhood" Lie 23:30 The Truth: Raped at 14, Friend Murdered, Out at 15 25:00 Origins Rehab, Love Addiction & The Wrong Diagnosis 26:30 Walking Away From Meth (Choice, Not Cure) 28:30 Diagnosing Mental Health Like a Bad Episode of House 30:00 The Affluent-Town Walk That Ended at JPS 33:00 6 Hospitals in 3 Months & The Britney Parallel 35:30 "She Doesn't Look Like a Junkie": Privilege Meets Profiling 37:00 When a White Woman Finally Sees What Minorities Already Knew #MyloAndBen #MyloAndBenPodcast #GenerationalTrauma #AmberRogers #MyloAndFriend #LGBTQPodcast #GayPodcast #DallasPodcast #DFWPodcast #PodcastersOfInstagram #RealTalk #SassyPodcast #WomenSupportingWomen #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone

    Straight Men, You’re SAFE & Other Truths Mylo and Ben Need to Share | Ep 44

    The boys are back for round two and they came to say something.  Mylo opens with a whole story about pre-announcing his gayness before social outings — not because he's insecure, but because he refuses to be the unwanted guest at someone else's Top Golf party. Ben takes it deeper, sharing what it's really like navigating the mortgage industry as an openly gay man in 2026 and why asking "are you prepared to work with a gay person?" was never about seeking permission.  From there, things get delightfully unhinged: a sweaty straight man warned Mylo not to hit on him (sir, relax), Ben's fridge died and Trinity Home Advisors saved her life-  Oh, and Ben's headed to Puerto Rico, but first she needs her passport because apparently ICE is now working TSA.  It's giving chaos. It's giving clarity. It's giving Mylo and Ben. Chapters:  0:00 Cold Open: "Just Don't Hit On Me" — Sir, You Are SAFE 1:00 Pre-Announcing Your Gayness Before Social Events: Smart or Sad? 3:00 Straight Passing Privilege & Why Some Gay Men Never Have to Warn Anyone 4:00 Being Gay in the Mortgage Industry: Milo's Interview Test Question 5:30 "Y'all Ready for a F*g?" — Walking Into a Frat House Brokerage 6:00 Rescheduling a Meeting & Flirting With a Married Straight Man (It Worked) 7:30 Gay Men Are the Most Selective People Alive & This Needs to Be Said 8:30 Sweaty Stranger at a House Party Thought Mylo Was Coming for Him 9:00 YouTube Comment Said "Bruh" About the Makeup and We Have Notes 9:30 Makeup Is Not Gendered — Your President's Orange Face Agrees 11:00 The John Frieda Twins, Film Lighting & Why Yellow Hair Is Strategic 12:00 Ben's Headshots: Lighting, Angles & the Ongoing Seating Negotiation 13:30 Mariah Carey Has Mylo's Number (The Butterfly Album Is His Life Right Now) 15:30 Life Repeats Itself & Nobody Has an Original Experience (Sorry) 16:30 Trinity Home Advisors: The Fridge Died and Joe Showed Up 18:00 Real Estate Lesson: Your Realtor Is Only As Good As Their Referral Partners 20:00 Motherboards in Fridges Are Real and Mylo Is Living With Her Mom's Food 21:30 Call to Action: Ben Sanchez & Inclusive Lending LLC 22:00 Puerto Rico, Passports & ICE Working TSA — It's a Lot, Goodbye #MyloAndBen #GayPodcast #LGBTQPodcast #QueerTalk #GayInBusiness #MakeupForMen #GenderNeutralBeauty #MarahCarey #ButterflyAlbum #RealEstateTips #HomeBuying #TrinityHomeAdvisors #HomeWarranty #GayRealtor #InclusiveLending #StraightPassingPrivilege #GayMenTalk #BlackGayPodcast #DallasPodcast #ProtectYourPeace #MakeupIsForEveryone #LGBTQBusiness #LightingMatters #RealEstateAdvice #GossipAndRealTalk

    Miss Betty Is NOT a Prude and Somebody Got Triggered (It Was Mylo) | Ep 43

    Buckle up, besties, because Mylo and Ben are back and absolutely not keeping it cute this week.  The boys go off on the Frankie Paul/Bachelorette implosion (Disney really said "not today"), break down DARVO like the armchair therapists they are, review The Housemaid and Wicked Part 2 with the unfiltered honesty neither movie asked for, and somehow spiral into a full Call Me By Your Name triggered rant about age gaps in gay relationships.  Oh, and we also cover dolphin abductions (allegedly), a meteor that may or may not be a missile, the Epstein files that nobody asked us to look at but can't ignore, election feelings, Pretty Ricky's tongue in 2025, and an elderly stud at a drag show who absolutely stole the whole night.  It's a lot. It's always a lot. And that's why you're here.

    How in the Hell Are You Gonna Do More, When You Couldn't Even Do Enough? | Ep 42

    This week, Mylo and Ben showed up with zero agenda and absolutely no regrets — and honestly?  That's exactly why we keep coming back.  They kick things off dragging relationships to filth, specifically the unspoken rule that one person always does 70% of the work while the other one smiles and collects the credit. When Jeff cheated, Ben didn't spiral — he ran a full audit. Taller? Richer? A Birkin in the trunk? No? Then, baby, you traded down and you did it for free.  From there it's birthday szn chaos (Mariah's birthday twin is turning 58, and yes he's counting down), a whole Leo vs. Aries astrology sidebar, and a very serious discussion about Denise Richards' facelift that somehow becomes a personal vision board moment.  Chapters: 0:00 Who's really doing the work in relationships? 1:00 The cheater always does the least 2:00 When Jeff cheated — the full audit 3:00 Birthday season, Aries energy & Mariah Carey twins 4:00 Why Ben connects with R&B over everything 5:00 Hispanic identity & being read wrong 6:00 Family secrets & grandfather's mystery birthday 7:00 Denise Richards' facelift & getting the lift before 60 8:00 Puerto Rico trip & birthday drag show plans 9:00 The wine era begins — from moscato to red blends 10:00 Caymus at $90 a bottle and the dupe hunt 11:00 Grandfather's Coors Light era & never wanting to drink 12:00 First legal drink & the blender margarita incident 13:00 Kool-Aid packets in vodka sodas — keeping it cute 14:00 The third drink rule & alcohol in relationships 15:00 The angry drunk era, therapy & getting kicked out of S4 16:00 Mariah vs. Beyoncé: the bar showdown 18:00 RuPaul's Drag Race, Bianca Del Rio & the glow-up 19:00 Why this podcast works & outro #MyloAndBenPodcast #PodcastLife #RelationshipTea #CheatingReceipts #MarriageTruths #MariahCarey #BeyonceVsMariah #AstrologyTalk #AriesSeason #BirthdaySZN #DrinkEras #WinePodcast #CaymusWine #GayPodcast #LGBTQPodcast #DragShow #RuPaulsDragRace #BiancaDelRio #LifestylePodcast #FriendshipPodcast #OverShareAndCare #RealTalk #HispanicPodcast #PodcastRecommendation #NewEpisode

    Gym Bros, HIV Testing & Why Straight People Really Need to Do Better | Ep 41

    Oh, we went there. All the way there. This week Mylo and Ben are dripping in sweat (literally — the studio AC was giving zero cooperation) and absolutely zero chill as they dish on gym culture, sexual health, and the big cheating debate that almost broke a friend group over the weekend. It starts cute: Ben is in his fitness era, Mylo is clocking hotties at BOP hour (yes, that's a real thing — after 8PM when all the hot, broke people show up).  Then it gets real. Mylo tells the story of Robert — a guy he was seeing in his 20s who turned out to be HIV positive and never said a word. Robert's defense? "Why didn't you ask?" And honestly... that sparked a whole conversation about the gap between how the gay community approaches sexual health testing versus how straight people are out here just... not.  And then there's the accountability conversation: if you're gonna forgive, you actually have to forgive. No beatdowns. No scorekeeping. Just the work. This one's layered. Funny, honest, a little scandalous, and surprisingly healing. Pull up. Chapters:  0:00 Cold Open – "Why didn't you ask?" 1:05 Welcome + We Are Sweating in This Studio 1:30 Ben's Fitness Era & BOP Hour Explained 3:10 The Influencer Gym in Fort Worth (Full Beat, Lashes & All) 5:20 Would You Date a Gym Person?
