Show notes

Closing out Pride Month with a conversation about body image in queer men. Blake Flaugher MPH returns to the show and joins Caleb Draper to talk about gym culture among queer men including a selfie-specific locker room mirror, peacocking among queer men, nudes, looksmaxxing, dating apps and body dysmorphia. The three of them got to be besties while playing kickball with Outloud Sports, stories about which you'll hear sprinkled in the episode. These two are a lot of fun and will be back next month with their reviews of the Australian horror film Leviticus.

Caleb tried Monch Monch!
