Now, they’re bringing their positive message to a new medium: an affirmations journal titled Honey. In this episode, they discuss their favorite affirmations for the beginning of the year—including “I will not let people mistake my kindness for stupidity”—and discuss the realities of being in the public eye, the origins of their “bougie gay uncle” character, and the story behind the title of their new book.
