BJ Burgess & LeBron Huggins

Messy Thoughts is a no-holds-barred talk show where Austin-based friends BJ Burgess and LeBron Huggins catch up weekly to get into the mess—from pop culture deep dives to personal rabbit holes. Each episode explores life, sex, identity, and everything in between through a queer lens, as the duo trade off asking each other a mix of intrusive thoughts and premeditated questions that range from hilarious to heartfelt. Whether it’s unpacking bad behavior or dissecting viral drama, BJ and LeBron keep it honest, unpredictable, and unapologetically messy.

    "Live From Boise! Treefort Music Fest" - Messy Thoughts 26

    Messy Thoughts goes live from Boise, Idaho at Treefort Music Festival for a hilarious, chaotic, and unexpectedly heartfelt night with BJ Burgess and LeBron Huggins. In this special live episode, BJ returns to his hometown of Boise and brings the Messy Thoughts energy to the stage for a crowd full of queer joy, messy confessions, audience questions, and unfiltered commentary. The night kicks off with stories about Boise, identity, and what it feels like to come home, before quickly spiraling into conversations about dating disasters, app culture, bad plane turbulence, situationships, and whether the gays are mean everywhere or if that’s just a universal truth. The episode also features a very funny Idaho trivia game, audience participation, some truly wild bedroom and dating discussions, and one of the most memorable stories of the night: BJ sharing what happened after a scammer threatened to leak his explicit photos to his family. What could have been humiliating turns into a conversation about shame, confidence, support systems, and owning your story. There’s also a sweet and genuine section on chosen family, queer friendship, and the people who help carry us through life, plus an important audience conversation about language, identity, and the meaning behind terms in queer culture. It’s messy, funny, vulnerable, loud, and full of live-show magic. If you were there at Treefort, thank you for being part of such a fun night. And if you’re just tuning in now, welcome to Messy Thoughts — where no topic is off limits and things can go from ridiculous to real in a matter of seconds.

    "Facebook Dating is a MESS" - Messy Thoughts 25

    MESSY THOUGHTS 25. BJ and LeBron are back with another wildly chaotic episode of Messy Thoughts, and this one truly goes everywhere. From allergy struggles and drag dreams to college Greek life, old school phones, cookout fantasy picks, and some truly unhinged dating-app behavior, the boys are in rare form. They kick things off recapping a recent panel appearance and showing love to Vivent Health, then spiral into stories about fraternity culture, sidekicks and BlackBerrys, and a hilarious celebrity cookout game that forces some impossible choices. Later, LeBron gets real about how rough dating has been lately — including one guy who revealed he voted for Trump, another who matched with him on Facebook Dating only to announce he is “not gay,” and a broader conversation about dating apps, flirting in real life, and why modern romance can feel fully broken. Somewhere along the way, they also talk about Janet Jackson, Michael B. Jordan, making out with strangers, and yes… remembering the Alamo. It is messy. It is personal. It is ridiculous. Just how we like it. In this episode: Recapping their recent panel event and community collabAllergy season chaos in AustinGreek life, college culture, and fraternity talkA celebrity “cookout” game with impossible choicesLeBron’s latest dating horror storiesFacebook Dating, Hinge, and real-life flirtingA little pop culture, a little mess, and a lot of foolishnessSubscribe, comment, and let us know: what is the wildest thing someone has ever said to you on a dating app? #MessyThoughtsPodcast #Podcast #GayPodcast #DatingApps #PopCulture

    "Fast & Messy: The Wigatry" - Messy Thoughts 23

    Messy Thoughts – Episode 23 This week on Messy Thoughts, BJ and LeBron are back with another chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly deep conversation about pop culture, concerts, money, friendship, and the messy realities of adult life. The episode kicks off with a wild tangent about the viral Dr Pepper TikTok jingle, TikTok fame, and how creators get paid (or don’t) for their work. From there, the conversation spirals into pop music and concert culture, including LeBron’s experience seeing Lady Gaga in Austin and why Gaga’s impact on the LGBTQ+ community still means so much today. But the messiness doesn’t stop there. BJ and LeBron dive into some real-life dilemmas: • What do you do when someone borrows money and never pays you back? • Is it fair to split the dinner bill evenly when some people order way more than others? • Why do people leave concerts early after paying hundreds for tickets? Later in the episode, producer Daddy Keller jumps in for a chaotic new segment called “Fast and Messy,” where the hosts answer rapid-fire questions about sexuality, culture, relationships, and identity—while trying on wigs and completely losing their composure. Expect debates about bisexuality, cookout invites, gay culture, gentrification, and the kinds of questions that only Messy Thoughts could turn into a hilarious conversation. If you like messy conversations, pop culture debates, and unfiltered takes about life, friendship, and queer culture—this episode is for you. Leave us a voicemail with your own messy thoughts and you might hear yourself on a future episode.

    "JK But Messy" Feat. Jake & Kendrick - Messy Thoughts 22

    This week on Messy Thoughts, we’re bringing you a chaotic, hilarious, and heartfelt Austin–San Antonio podcast crossover with the hosts of the JK But Gay Podcast — Jake Reyna-Casanova and Kendrick Vela. From the moment these four get in the room, the energy is pure mess (in the best way). We talk about how both podcasts started, navigating the intersection of Latino and LGBTQ identities, and what it’s like building community in spaces that sometimes don’t feel built for you. Jake and Kendrick share the story of how they met, how their friendship turned into a podcast, and why they felt a Latino gay voice was missing in podcasting. The conversation goes deep — from racism and microaggressions in queer spaces to the emotional realities of fostering children and the complicated relationship many of us have with family, identity, and culture. We also get into some lighter chaos: ✨ Kendrick spills the tea on his Emmy-winning meteorologist husband ✨ We debate gay spaces vs Latino spaces ✨ We play the iconic “Who’s Invited to the Latino Cookout?” game ✨ And of course… we end with a passionate breakdown of Beyoncé, Bad Bunny, Selena, and the cultural impact of Latino icons If you love messy conversations, big laughs, and real talk about culture and identity — this crossover episode is for you. Go show love to JK But Gay Podcast and subscribe to both shows! Messy Thoughts. Hosted by BJ Burgess and LeBron Huggins.

    "Two Williams, One Bad Bunny Bowl" - Messy Thoughts 20

    MESSY THOUGHTS – Episode 20: Bad Bunny Backlash, Serena Supremacy & Wendy Williams Chaos The girls are OUTSIDE this week — brunches, drag shows, Lady Gaga sweepstakes wins, and a whole lot of opinions. In Episode 20, BJ and LeBron dive headfirst into culture, controversy, and chaos. 💥 Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show sparks a bigger conversation about language, representation, Puerto Rico’s American identity, and why some people are STILL confused about what “America” actually means. The set design? Iconic. The symbolism? Deep. The haters? Loud (and wrong). 🎾 It’s Black History Month, so we’re spotlighting two absolute powerhouses: Serena Williams — the GOAT of modern tennis, fashion innovator, and global icon who changed the game forever. Wendy Williams — radio shock queen, daytime drama pioneer, and the original “ask the messy question on live TV” legend. The debate: Who had the bigger cultural impact? We also get into: -- Ozempic discourse -- Jake Paul hypocrisy -- Drag nights at Highland & Rain -- Austin brunch energy at De Nada -- Gaga ticket bloodbaths -- Why Ticketmaster deserves jail time -- And why you NEED to leave us a voicemail 📞 Want your messy thoughts on the pod? Call us at (512) 953-3084 and leave your name, age, location, and what’s on your mind. — Drop your favorite Serena outfit in the comments. Tell us if you watched Bad Bunny’s halftime show. And most importantly — help us get to 1,000 subscribers. Grab your cousin’s phone if you have to. This is Messy Thoughts — where the thoughts are messy and the bottoms are not.
