Tattoos, drunken nights, flashing our bosses...here at the pod, we all make mistakes -- gurrrrrrrrl - but today we’re tackling how our mistakes make us feel “other”, how we come back from that, and how we NEVER (read: sometimes) make the same mistake twice.

What do we call you? Disabled? An Adaptive Athlete? “Tom. You can call me Tom” answers our guest Tom Miazga.  Tom is not only the two-time “Fittest Seated Man on Earth” but also the OUTCast proclaimed “Sweetest Seated Man Alive”.  In this episode we dive deep into the obstacles and opportunities faced by Adaptive Athletes. Tom takes us on his hyper-successful athletic journey -- but also gives us a window into his recent experiences as an out and proud gay man.  Tom is one of the most special we’ve ever met and has given us beautiful insight into his adaptive life. A life where he thinks “Sugar Spice” is a Spice Girl… but we will let that one slide. And here is the link to the OBSESSED!

It’s our Season 1 Finale! What better way to ~finish~ than getting down and dirty with the Meryl Streep of Pornography, Luiz Faria, aka Diego Sans! You could say he’s a “top” performer, he’s won countless awards including Performer of the Year, Best Actor, and Best Topping Performance in what can only be described as the Oscars of Porn. Hear what it’s like on set, what a day in the life of a sex worker is like, how he prepares for a shoot, and what it’s like in the dating world as one of pornography’s most beloved daddy’s. Thank you so much for listening to our first season! We can’t wait to see what’s next. Hit us up on Instagram to let us know your favorite Season 1 moments, and look out for our next adventure, the CrossFit drag show happening on June 21st!

Today we’re swiping right on our amazing guest, Maya Reddy! When this queer pro golfer isn’t kicking ass on the green, or busting down barriers for Asian and LGBTQ athletes, she’s looking for love in all the right places: literally every dating app that exists. Almost everyone today has had some experience with the likes of Tinder, Grindr, or Hinge, but have you heard of Chappy? Scruff? Hear our horror stories, sob stories, and love stories when it comes to the modern dating world; our number one red flag, and our number one green flag in a partner. We also talked with Maya about golfing, obviously. She shares what it’s like being a queer woman of color in a notoriously pale sport, how she copes with experiencing racism and homophobia on the green, and how she keeps that hole in one mindset. Also, we hope you like the game we created to play with her, Fore Real or Bogey. It’s Tee Time bitches! OBSESSED: Check our Insta out for all the obsessions! Follow us on Instagram: @outcast_podcast

You can bet your BOTTOM dollar that this episode is juicy. Today we’re talking about all things ~peach emoji~. After our super successful Sex Episode, we thought it was important to talk openly about our sex lives and sexual health. Brooks and Will answer Alex’s burning questions about bottoming (the only time “burning” and “bottom” should be in a sentence together), including topics like douching, whether it’s a deal breaker if both people are bottoms, and a “hole” lot more. Brooks gets candid about a recent and positive sexual health experience he had and shares what he learned. For this week’s OBSESSED, Brooks dug to the BOTTOM of his most watched YouTube videos - it involves a fabulous beltress of Broadway, Cinderella, and a Disney showdown you have to see to believe.

All you need to do this week is sit back, relax, and let us do the talking - because today’s episode is all about our favorite topics. We’re getting into hidden bad habits (shoutout to nail pickers), The Magic School Bus, songs we listened to in 8th grade when we felt lonely, and the songs we listen to today when we want to strut down the sidewalk. We also get into Celine Dion, the best/worst alarm clock songs, and our favorite past AIM screennames. Jennifer Hudson makes a cameo, and if you have any questions about the upcoming CATS reboot, they should be answered here. OBSESSED: OMG They're Making a Movie of the musical, CATS!

This week’s episode was a really personal project for us. We’re talking about our experiences with substances and how those experiences have shaped us. We talk about how we deal with having “addicting personalities,” drinking to be comfortable, and how some use drugs to get that “beach bod.” We cover the sick pride of drug culture and why it’s prevalent in the LGBTQ community. Will and Alex share their “wake up call” moments, and Will shares what it’s like to come from a home of addiction. We hope that this episode will either shed some light on the complicated issue of substance abuse, or offer you some comfort if you’re someone who’s currently struggling with it.

This episode is all about YOU! We asked y’all to send in topics or questions you wanted us to talk about, and you really came up with some good ones. We’re discussing everything from how we deal with failure, what our ~FiRsT TiMe~~~ was like, boutique fitness (aka how wearing a headset can change a person), how to be an inclusive CrossFit coach when it comes to addressing prescribed weights, and so much more. We even tell our coming out stories in 60 seconds – a game we like to call Gay in 60 Seconds. If you’re listening Nicolas Cage, we think it’d be a great sequel. Brooks brings an incredible video of children dressed as the BeeGees singing their biggest hits (it’s life-changing), and we have a head scratcher Would You Rather courtesy of one of our listeners.
