After this ep, they are taking a cute little baby break to grow and plan more podcast fun for the future. Sit down with them and taste the rest of S1 tea bb!

Work. Whether you love it or hate it, it pays the bills and provides you with opportunities you otherwise might not experience. While laying in bed and vegging out might seem ideal at times, getting on your grind and committing to getting the job done is a whole other level of rewarding! This week Jake and Jallen sit down to discuss all things job-related and dissect what even IS this 9-5 grind we all seem to take part of.

We are family! I’ve got all my sisters with me! Family can be tricky for anyone, but regardless of your relationship with yours, no one can deny that family plays a significant role in your life at some point. This week, the boys sit down with YouTubers Cooper and Luca Coyle (who are also twin brothers) and talk about the ins and outs of what family is, what it means, and why it matters.

Get cozy and treat yo self to a warm little baby cup of tea as we dish about the ins and outs of self care!

Sorry Fifth Harmony, this week we ARE going to work (work work work work work work). Literally having a job is not always easy. The stress of working AND doing so successfully can get to anyone. BUT on top of dealing with the typical professional pressures, even more can be added when a person experiences inequality at their job. This week, the boys sit down with No Name Outfitters to discuss inequality in the work place, and how it pertains, specifically, to the LGBTQIA+ community.

In society today, people have like a MILLION contradicting opinions on the topic of gender. While it seems there are disagreements all across the board, the fact of the matter is that gender is not as black and white (or as blue and pink) as the world acts like it is. This week, the boys sit down with Alex Clark to talk about gender identity and expression as well as hear what it’s like to be something other than cisgendered and learn what we can do, as a society, to gain a little more unity on the topic.

In America, racial inequality and stereotypes are still deeply rooted throughout our society and culture. This week, Jake and Jallen sit down with NYC dancer Jordan Colovos to discuss the topic of race, the experiences of being a person of color while also belonging to the LGBTQ+ community, and how we can all progress together to gain a little bit of unity up in this gig.

In life, there are a lot of things to be passionate about. With everyone’s opinions constantly flying around us the list of things to get fired up about, truly goes on and on. But just as it’s important to have an opinion, it is also important to ACT on it. This week, the boys sit down with NYC drag queen Marti G Cummings and discuss the ins and outs of activism. Join them as they learn about the different ways to get involved and dive into what even IS activism and WHY it’s important.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH SWEET ANGELS! If we have said it once we have said it a gay-zillion times, we are here, queer, severe, and PROUD of it. So to kick off Pride Month, Jake and Jallen are dedicating this episode to PRIDE! Join the boys as they talk about the history of pride, what pride means to them, and like, why we even NEED gay pride in the first place.

It’s no secret that Jake and Jallen love them some boyz. BUT there is nothing quite like the admiration and respect they have for all of the bad ass females out there. When it comes to being a woman, the challenges they face are far more complex than either Jake or Jallen can possibly comprehend in their little baby brains. On top of that, being a queer woman adds a whole other layer of hurdles for our fabulous females to jump over. This week, the boys sit down with dancer and choreographer Kanon Sapp as she provides a pansexual perspective on what it’s like being a queer woman in America and how we, as a community, can come together.

If you’re interested in a “masc only” situation, tbh listen no further. This week, the boys sit down with NYC drag queen Jan Sport and the dolls dish on all things fem. Join Jake, Jallen, and Jan as they share stories on being a feminine man, expressing their femininity, and try to figure out what even is fem?

New York City during the day is literally crazy enough on its own, but once the sun goes down, mama, it’s a whole other animal. We’re known as the city that never sleeps, so what do we do instead? This week, the boys sit down with NYC Drag Queen and award winning bartender Ruby Roo to talk about New York City nightlife and share some of their happy (and horror) stories of going out in The Big Apple.

Okay so bullying is NOT cute. But it IS something that we have all had experiences with at one time or another. Whether you’ve been the bully or bullied (or tbh both) we can all say that we’ve experienced a bit of shade thrown our way that may have just been a little too shady. This week, join the boys as they dissect the topic of bullying and get into what it is, what it means, and how it’s changed over the years.

Literally relationships are HARD WORK. But what seems to be even harder is when one comes to an end. Whether it’s ghosting, through a text, or just flat out being DUMPED, we can all agree that this shit ain’t easy. This week, the boys sit down with Josh and share their thoughts on relationships ending, spill tea on their own experiences, and break down EVERYTHING that has to do with breaking up.

Growing up as two little baby gay boys, Jake and Jallen have a lot in common when it comes to their childhoods. However, one aspect of their lives is vastly different from one another, in that Jallen actually grew up in the Mormon Church. This week, the boys sit down with NYC Drag Queen Jacklynn Hyde (who also grew up Mormon) to discuss what it was like to go from The Church to The City and how their lives have been vastly different ever since.

Flying first class (tbh actually coach) up in the sky! Honestly, whether you are from a small town, a big city, or anywhere in between, traveling is literally VITAL for all of us to experience if we can.

Literally New York is coo coo bananas. There are people everywhere, there are sometimes rats bopping around, and like also things smell just genuinely icky sometimes. But if we’re being all the way honest NYC is also randomly the best city in the world. But like, why? And why did Jake and Jallen even end up here? This week Jake and Jallen sit down with NY baby himself, Brian Robotham, and explore all up and down all the ins and outs of their home,  New York City.

So we’ve def already established that Jake and Jallen are Gay with a capital G, but now we need to dive into HOW they knew they were here, queer, and severe. This week, Jake, Jallen, and special guest Eddie are jumping into their bedazzled time machine and reflecting on the moments in their lives they KNEW they were gay. Listen to stories from their weird childhood, awkward middle school days, and confusing adult lives that transformed these sweet angel babies into full blown homos; and ultimately, the self loving individuals they’ve learned to be today.

Bottoms up! (and we’re not talking about Jake). This week, Jake, Jallen, and special guest Abby are putting a splash of vodka in their tea to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of their favorite type of juice: alcohol. Listen to Jake, Jallen, and Abby share embarrassing drunk stories, talk about their favorite drinks, and maybe even get a little tipsy themselves (we apologize in advance for the slurred words).

If you know anything about Jake and Jallen at all, you know that they are OBSESSED with drag. But there is a lot about drag their little baby brains have yet to learn. Like how do you glue down a wig? What’s the hardest part about drag? And how bad DOES tucking actually hurt? More importantly though, what are all of the beautiful things drag does for our community? This week Jake and Jallen sit down with New York City Drag Queen, Izzy Uncut as she spills the tea on what it’s like to truly live like a Queen!

This week, Jake and Jallen take you on a journey through the world of Reality TV and all that it encompasses. Touching on everything from Flavor of Love to The Real Housewives, they dish on iconic Reality TV moments, legendary personalities, and Jallen spills some tea on his personal experiences as someone who has been in front of the camera himself.

Unlike Ariana, we actually DO have some tears left to cry. In life, we all get a little emo. And sometimes it’s okay to just let some tears fall. But like, why do we even? What do we get out of it? And also, where tf did the idea that “boy’s don’t cry” even COME from? This week, Jake and Jallen put the TEA in TEArs and discuss the concept of crying, the culture around it, and what makes THEM emo.
