    Ep. 82 - It's Giving Sax Appeal

    Jana and Brian are back in their internet episode era (no guest today!) as they spiral from pandemic nostalgia and saxophone karaoke lore into TikTok discourse, pajama teens, and why straight men should maybe… just kiss. A listener question about getting soaked while doing dishes leads to surprisingly real advice: you might just be doing everything too fast. The takeaway? Not everything needs to be on “high.” Permission granted to slow down, be a little more intentional, and you’ll save yourself some mess (in the sink and in life). From bodega-level reads to midriff-soaking chaos, this episode is honest, messy, and really still makes sense!

    Ep. 81 - It's Giving Tea From D.C. w/ Danielle Perez

    Jana and Brian are joined by comedian, writer, and cultural critic Danielle Perez (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Overcompensating, The Night Agent, Ballard) for a wildly unhinged episode that spirals from political scandal and discourse into the ethics of kink, TMZ as the new people’s press, and the increasingly blurred line between power, performance, and delusion. Along the way, they unpack chaotic internet rabbit holes, airport people-watching as a sport, and the strange cultural moment where everything feels both deeply cursed and incredibly funny. A listener prompt sparks a conversation about navigating creativity and life when everything feels overwhelming, and the advice is refreshingly real: stay curious, follow what genuinely makes you laugh (even if it’s niche or messy), and don’t wait to be “perfect” or “ready” to participate. Whether it’s comedy, content, or just surviving the timeline, the key is to engage, experiment, and trust your instincts because clarity rarely comes first, but momentum does.

    Ep. 80 - It's Giving Banana Bread Latte w/ Hayden Johnson

    Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Hayden Johnson (Funny or Die, Netflix is a Joke, New York Comedy Festival) for a delightfully unhinged dive into van life fantasies, the undeniable hotness of smoking (unfortunately), and the growing suspicion that straight men might, in fact, be the gayest among us. From chaotic industry stories and accidental green room segregation to \a fully realized business plan for a nationwide gay bar van hookup tour, the trio spiral through topics like health nihilism (“everything causes cancer, so fuck it”), Mad Men–induced cigarette cravings, and the erotic undertones of hockey stretches. A listener calls in asking how to stay creative and consistent in comedy writing, and Jana, Brian, and Hayden offer advice rooted in reality: abandon the myth of perfect discipline, capture ideas however they come (voice memos in the shower, notes app in bed, panic-writing minutes before stage), and create external accountability. The only real way to get better is to get up, bomb, adjust, and try again. Ultimately, it’s an episode about giving yourself permission to be messy, following the bit wherever it leads, and trusting that your creative voice will show up. Usually at the worst possible time, but still right on time.

    Ep. 79 - It's Giving Backwards Baseball Cap w/ Tommy Do

    Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Tommy Do (Overcompensating, The Other Two, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, People We Meet On Vacation, and Hacks) for a chaotic, globe-trotting, and deeply unserious exploration of solo vacations, gay gym culture, and the increasingly cursed state of the internet. From Fort Lauderdale nude beaches and “living for the plot” to Japan travel prep, international sunscreen conspiracies, and the quiet psychological spiral of leaving TikTok, the trio bounce between existential insights and absolute nonsense at breakneck speed. Along the way, they debate whether astrology is real (or just collectively manifested), unpack the subtle horrors of Threads, and attempt to reset Brian’s Hinge algorithm live on air. A listener calls in after being pushed out of her family for coming out as bisexual and simply answering her niece’s questions with honesty. Jana and Brian unpack the painful reality of conditional love, the power of being the “cool aunt” who shows up authentically, and what it means to choose yourself when your family won’t. They offer advice on navigating rejection, building chosen family, and why sometimes the most powerful move is simple: slay, move away, and let them deal with the consequences.

    Ep. 78 - It's Giving I’m So Back w/ Sam Taggart

    Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Sam Taggart (StraightioLab) for a wide-ranging and deeply unserious investigation into gay travel lore, Mr. B&B, and why Fort Lauderdale might be the spiritual home of the “I’m so back” mindset. Along the way they spiral into Speedos, secret vacations, Japan travel stories, and the philosophical highs and lows of declaring yourself “so back” only for life to immediately prove you wrong. A lesbian firefighter calls in asking how to survive working with increasingly outspoken conservative coworkers without spending all day arguing with them. The trio breaks down the art of choosing your battles in hostile environments, the strange politics of firehouse culture, and how humor (and a well-timed roast) might be the most effective survival strategy.

    Ep. 77 - It's Giving Blowers.com w/ Zach Noe Towers

    Jana and Brian are joined by comedian Zach Noe Towers (E!, Comedy Central, Netflix, Good Sod Pod) for a chaotic, deeply educational exploration of gay hookup apps and the complicated taxonomy of twinks, otters, bears, and daddies. The trio debates sobriety, weed as a coping mechanism for the horrors, and whether personal growth in your 40s is just finally caring less during sex. In the advice segment, a listener asks how to survive working with a stubborn 71-year-old coworker who seems to clash only with her. Jana and Brian unpack the generational tension, projection dynamics, and the delicate art of choosing when to confront someone versus when to disengage.

    Ep. 76 - It's Giving Professor Hopscotch w/ Tommy Pico

    This week, Jana and Brian are joined by poet and writer Tommy Pico for an episode that spirals from fart science to social media detoxing, cousin jealousy lore, and Tribal Chairman drag names. Along the way, they invent new anatomy terminology, debate lying for mystique, and remind you that everything is connected…including your microbiome. A grad student called in after being accepted to two conferences a day apart, and then finding out she’s receiving an award at one on the same day she’s supposed to present at the other.

    Ep. 75 - It's Giving The Bender Method w/ Michelle Davis

    Joined by television writer Michelle Davis (After Midnight, Ziwe, A Black Lady Sketch Show), the conversation ricochets from pickup basketball and dating lore to Zoom romance during the pandemic. The trio unpacks the chaos of writers’ rooms, getting canceled six months after signing a lease, and why West Hollywood can spiritually exhaust even the strongest among us. They spiral into pandemic panic attacks, cereal-based coping mechanisms, and unhinged therapist takes. In the advice segment, they discuss if Heated Rivalry is humanizing gay athletes, proving once again that the wisdom is unsolicited, occasionally profound, and always delivered with love.
