🎙️ S1 EP6: Coincidence… or Nah? Freezing fog. Falling trees. Surviving atomic bombs. In this episode, Jesse and Mikey spiral (in the best way) into fate, destiny, intuition, and those moments in life that are just a little too aligned to be random.

The hosts open up about embracing their identities, finding confidence in queer spaces, and...

Jesse and Mikey kick off the pod with origin stories—messy, honest, and hilarious. From Target underwear aisle epiphanies to first-kiss panic, from family dynamics to figuring out where (and if) they fit in the gay community, the guys compare coming-out journeys, late bloomers vs. early stirrings, and the joy/chaos of finding your people.
