Judson meets a possible long-lost relative during his very own Hookup of the Week. Brian gushes over Morgan Bassichis’ one-man show, "Can I Be Frank?” and finally scores his seventh review on The Blowers. The two learn that elementary age kids have caught onto the fact that ‘Daddy’ has sexual connotations. Both are turned on by the voice that delivers this week’s listener-submitted Hookup of the Week. They are then joined by adult entertainment mogul turned DJ, Boomer Banks. Boomer shares his love for his second home of Provincetown, MA, and talks about what it means to be sober in a queer vacation destination. He digs into his childhood struggles with his family, his move from Los Angeles to New York, and takes the two through the evolution of his career from fashion design to go-go dancing to his discovery as a porn performer. He delves into his fight for his place in the industry as a person of color, and how he has fostered the Haus of Banks to support other marginalized adult entertainment performers. He also shares how a surprising and staggering period of grief brought him to his current pursuits as a DJ. The episode ends with Boomer helping Brian and Judson address a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener looking for advice on exploring new kinks.

Judson shares a significant life update with both pain and optimism while Brian goes on a perfect date. A listener submits a Hookup of the Week in which he experiences Judson’s definition of Daddyness. They are then joined by actor, writer, comedian and star of his own off-Broadway solo show, ‘Ta-Da!,’ Josh Sharp. Josh talks about how fun it can and should be to live outside the norm as queer people, recounts some of his formative sexual experiences, reminisces fondly about the days of finding sex on Craigslist, shares the secret to the longevity of his 11+-year relationship with his boyfriend, and challenges gay men of a certain age to find new ways to be queer. He discusses the origins and development of ‘Ta-Da!,’ working with the Tony Award-winning director of ‘Oh, Mary!,’ Sam Pinkleton, the significance of ‘Oh, Mary!’s’ breakout success, and the future of his work with longtime comedy partner Aaron Jackson, with whom he wrote and starred in the movie, ‘Dicks: The Musical.’ He also puts the rumors about Lea Michele’s reading ability to rest and reveals why he loves clip-on earrings. Josh then helps Brian and Judson respond to a question from a listener ten years his boyfriend’s senior who wants to avoid developing into a punishing parent in their relationship.

Judson and Brian celebrate the return of their husband and daughter (respectively) after three weeks apart. Judson feels his age taking in the fashions at a Bushwick dance party, while Brian feels his age due to the constant medical upkeep his body suddenly requires. The two are touched by a Hookup of the Week, submitted by a listener who credits the podcast for its inspiration. They are then joined by José Rolón, known as @nycgaydad across social media, where he has garnered more than 750K followers of his adventures as a single gay father to three kids, and has become a leading voice in parenting and LGBTQ+ Latinx representation. José shares the unbelievable story of how he found himself a single dad of three, how and why the video clips of his family became a viral sensation, how he views fame for himself and his children, his experiences navigating dating and sex, his feelings on aging, and how his partner of more than two years has integrated into his family life. He also speaks for the first time about the upsetting ways a far-right conspiracist has manipulated his content, how José is fighting him in court, and how he is so far succeeding in what could prove to be a landmark case for the LGBTQ+ community. José then helps Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who is two months away from becoming a father and is worried about the judgement he will receive from friends, family and even his own husband, if he continues to be as outwardly sex positive as he’s always been.
