EJudson enjoys his first planned hookup of 2026 and realizes he may be becoming demisexual. Brian explores his newfound versatility and finds much personal satisfaction. The Hookup of the Week tells the story of an encounter that is both very hot and very wet, and leads to Judson teaching Brian a piece of sexual vocabulary. They are then joined by fashion designer and sometime Son to Judson’s Daddy, Timothy Westbrook. After sharing behind-the-scenes secrets of his time on the 12th season of “Project Runway,” Timothy discusses his mission to design from a place without shame and how it inspires his very special collection, TL Brooke Bridal.

Timothy then reveals how he found his way to Dads and Daddies through a hookup story Judson shared on the pod three months ago, and dives deep into the fulfillment he finds in blindfolding himself during sex, his talent for being a good boy, how he protects himself when hooking up with strangers and his aspirations to a porn career. He also talks about his experience living life as a sexual person with a stoma and ostomy bag after his large intestine was removed due to ulcerative colitis.

EIt’s a party weekend! Judson prepares for a friend’s bachelor party in Chicago, and Brian prepares to celebrate his husband’s birthday on the Saturday, and his younger daughter’s on the Sunday. They attend screenings on consecutive nights of the new movie, Pillion, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, and compare notes with one another for the first time since. Together, Brian and Judson take a seat on The Big C*nty Couch with drag queen Gina Spears and her longtime friend Mike Fails. Our recent episode on Deshaming Sluttiness inspires a listener to submit a Hookup of the Week about his competition with a friend to see who can fill the pages of their little black books faster. Brian and Judson are then joined by star of stage and screen Jason Veasey, currently co-starring in the new comedy-drama, “Best Medicine,” on Fox and Hulu. Jason talks about the joy of being on the sets of both his current show and “Only Murders in the Building,” his desire to represent gay men our age on screen as sexual beings, and the need for more depictions of queer Black-on-Black love and sex in TV and film. He also gets personal and chats with Brian and Judson about sexual comfort levels, the value he places on sex in his relationship, being in a long-term relationship without living together, reclaiming his sexuality after his HIV diagnosis, sharing the news of his diagnosis with his family, and what it took for him to realize that he’s versatile in bed. Jason then helps Brian and Judson address a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants to know how he should conduct himself around his grade school-age niblings when the MAGA members of his husband’s extended family feel that kids shouldn’t know that gay people exist.
