    FIRST & FERAL X MAKENNA GIBBONS: The Other Side of the MomTok Swinging Scandal

    For years, Makenna Gibbons’ name has been connected to the MomTok swinging scandal—but most people have never heard the story from her perspective. In this episode, Makenna sits down with Jordyn and Jessica to share her side in her own words. She opens up about how she became part of the friend group, how the “soft swinging” began, the role alcohol played in blurring boundaries, and what she believes people have misunderstood about the timeline between the swinging and the affair that ultimately impacted her marriage. Makenna also takes us inside what happened after everything became public: filing for divorce, suddenly having strangers dissect her life online, stepping away from social media, carrying guilt over the ripple effects, and trying to hold everything together for her young son. But this conversation is about so much more than the scandal. Makenna shares how therapy helped her rebuild, why she and Miranda became so close, how she created a healthy co-parenting relationship with her ex, what it was like learning to trust again, and how she found love and remarried. And after staying mostly silent for years, she answers the question she hears constantly: Why tell your story now? Because everyone deserves the chance to share their story—and their story still matters. This is Makenna’s side. In her words. Follow First & Feral: Utah Unfiltered so you never miss an episode.

    FIRST & FERAL X KEATON HOSKINS: The Man Behind “The Muscle”

    You know Keaton Hoskins as “The Muscle” from Diesel Brothers. But you probably don’t know this version of him. Keaton joins First & Feral for one of our most raw and unexpected conversations yet, taking us from the kid who barely graduated high school and ended up in jail to becoming a millionaire, building and buying 50+ businesses, starring on one of Discovery Channel’s biggest reality shows, and ultimately walking away from the version of himself everyone thought they knew. And he holds NOTHING back. Keaton opens up about the wild story that landed him in jail, serving an LDS mission, losing his dad at only 47, how Diesel Brothers really began, the truth about his relationship with Heavy D and Diesel Dave, and why reality TV was never where he made his real money. Then we go deeper. He takes full accountability for the breakdown of his first marriage , including being unfaithful and a workaholic and explains how divorce forced him to realize: “I’m the problem… but I’m also the solution.” We also get into faith, fatherhood, money, confidence, scarcity vs. abundance, Limitless Society, and one of Keaton’s most controversial beliefs: What if putting God first actually starts with putting YOURSELF first? This isn’t just the story of “The Muscle.” It’s Keaton Hoskins without the TV character , talking about failure, money, marriage, faith, fatherhood and becoming the person capable of building the life you actually want. 🎙️ Keaton Hoskins × First & Feral: Utah Unfiltered Follow First & Feral on Instagram & TikTok: @firstandferalutah Subscribe on YouTube: @FirstandFeral 🖤 Utah born.
