To kick off this month, we talk to our pal Steve Michaels. Old fans know him as the original co-host of Bob After Dark, and now he is back. He tells us his story of beginning his career as a paranormal investigator, and how he went from reading a Time Life book about ghosts to starting his journey.

Romans 1 has long been used as a weapon against the LGBTQIA+ community, so we're giving it the Yass, Jesus! treatment! Let's just start here: Paul was a manipulative little b*tch (go listen to our episode “Paul Got a Little Thorny”) and his letter to the Romans is peppered with talk about “natural” and “unnatural” sexual acts. WELL. Anyone who's a little kinky knows it's ALL natural, baby! You be you, and don't let some H.A.M. tell you otherwise. This is another episode inspired by our listeners! If you have an episode idea or request, send it our way. Today's prayer is from Anthony Venn-Brown OAM, Founder and CEO of Ambassadors & Bridge Builders International (ABBI).

Here at Yass, Jesus! we are thankful for YOU, our listeners. (Yes, we're still thankful for blow jobs, too – a la 2020.) This year we wanted to take a moment to hear directly from the Yassuits about the blessings you find in daily life, and to feel thankful for the strong community we're building. P.S. If you don't know what a “Yassuit” is, you haven't been watching our Instagram Live enough! Hint: Yass Jesuits is what Azariah used to call our listeners, but on his last Q&A with you all it was pretty clear that “Yassuits” just rolls of the tongue better. YOU SPEAK, WE LISTEN.
