    Wow, Racism within the Palm Springs LGBTQ bar space!?!? & James Charles being terrible again!! Fear it or over'cum' it??

    This week on Festive & Feral, we’re getting uncomfortable in the best way possible. We talk about facing fears and doing things that terrify you, whether that’s flying solo, traveling alone, or simply stepping outside your comfort zone. Then we dive into heavier conversations surrounding racism within parts of the gay nightlife and leather scene after controversy connected to Palm Springs’ Tool Shed bar. And finally… we unpack the internet outrage after James Charles called a laid-off Spirit Airlines employee “lazy” after she reached out asking for help finding work. Yeah. We have thoughts. Funny, chaotic, uncomfortable, and honest, just the way we like it.

    Ghosting Is Out of Control (And So Are Dick Prints)

    This week on Festive & Feral, we’re all over the place in the best way. We break down ghosting culture and why people disappear out of nowhere (and whether it’s ever okay). Then things take a turn as we debate “Type A, B… and D” energy, yes, we said what you think we said and get into the chaos of dick print discourse. We also recap our wild Renn Fair experience in St. Pete, because apparently we can’t go anywhere without something happening. And to bring things back to reality, we talk about a serious story out of Miami involving an LGBTQ son and family conflict and what it says about where we still are today. It’s messy, funny, a little unhinged, and somehow still meaningful. 🎙️ New episodes every week follow, rate, and share if you’re feeling feral.

    Crazy Dates, Social Media Exposed & New Movie Buzz (Project Hail Mary + Netflix’s Thrash)

    In this episode of Festive & Feral, we get into everything from wild dating stories to breaking down the latest movie buzz. We kick things off talking about the upcoming sci-fi film Project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling and whether it has what it takes to be the next big space movie. Then we dive into Netflix’s new film Thrash and give our honest reactions. From there, things get chaotic. We each share our most unexpected and off-the-wall date stories, some funny, some questionable, and some that probably should’ve never happened. Then it gets even better. We put each other on the spot with a social media photo challenge, digging up old posts and making each other explain what was really going on in those moments. It’s messy, it’s funny, and it’s very real. If you’ve ever been on a bad date, posted something questionable, or just want to hear unfiltered conversations, this one’s for you.

    Ep. 8 - Why Are Gay Men Still Bottom Shaming? 👀 | Tampa Pride Recap + No Kings Movement

    In this episode of Festive & Feral, we kick things off with a real conversation about bottom shaming in the gay community and why it’s still such a thing in 2026 👀 But first, we’re breaking down Pride of Tampa 2026, the first year stepping in after Tampa Pride’s hiatus. Did Tampa show up? How was the vibe in Ybor? And what needs to improve for next year? Then we get into the main topic: bottom shaming, masculinity, and internalized stigma in gay culture. Why are some men still disrespecting the very people they pursue? And what does that say about confidence, identity, and dating dynamics? To wrap it up, we give a quick, easy-to-understand breakdown of the “No Kings” protests, what they stand for, and why they’re gaining traction across the U.S. If you’re into LGBTQ+ topics, Tampa events, gay dating culture, and real unfiltered conversations, this episode is for you. 🎧 New episodes weekly 📍 Based in Tampa Bay 🔥 Unfiltered, chaotic, and real

    Ep. 7 - DOES SIZE MATTER?, Pride, Protests & Real Talk: Pulse Anniversary, Operation Beagle Rescue!

    We discuss the recent beagle rescue protest at a testing facility in Madison, Wisconsin, and the growing conversation around animal testing and activism in the U.S. We also reflect on the upcoming 10-year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting, including the powerful symbolism surrounding the memorial and recent developments in Orlando. With Pride weekend approaching, we talk about what’s happening in Tampa, the importance of community, and events like performances from Bianca Del Rio. We also get into real-life conversations around friendship, taking time for yourself, and why simple things like a beach day with your circle can matter more than you think. And yes… we go there. We have an honest (and hilarious) discussion about whether size matters and how expectations show up in dating and the gay community. Next episode, we’ll be diving into a deeper conversation around bottom shaming and dynamics within the LGBTQ community.
