Tbh I don't really care what your orientation is or who you like to spend your time with. I just hoped that it wasn't fake for the purposes of marketing products that's ALL.
This 🎉
This!!
this
Absolutely. Couldn't agree more
Yes, it’s more about if the romantic relationship was real or a joke?
39:16 is where it starts for anyone curious. However, in my opinion; I've watched Brad for a long time. Never cared about his sexuality, just that he's a good person (with a bomb azz hair product line) and I've loved watching his videos!
You are the hero of the comment section
thank you

I dont think people care about your sexuality. I think people are curious if you 2 are actually a couple because you have marketed yourselves as a "couple" and people want to know if its friendship couple goals or relationship couple goals, because you would be such a cute relationship couple but you don't REALLY present as that. I also, think people hope for that because you are both so cute together and are genuinely curious about your real relationship status together. IMO
This! Like I’ve been watching Brad for a while and from what I gathered appeared to be a gay man, which is absolutely fine. Then all of a sudden, he’s “with” or “dating” or is “couples with” a girl and I’m so confused. There’s no hate towards Brad, I’m not telling him how he should identify, but it is quite confusing. Over on insta especially I’m over there trying to gain clarity and getting even more confused. People are saying “Brad is 100% gay, he’s never identified otherwise” then some are saying “Brad is bisexual, he’s said that before” and with the whole “oh yeah straightener, all you have to do is turn it on and it makes any guy straight” confused me because it’s like okay so this whole thing is for a straightener he’s releasing, makes sense he’s a hairdresser he has hair products already released, then some people are saying “no, he’s not releasing a straightener, this is his way of saying they’re a couple” “he’s seen everyone thinks he’s straight now, so now he’s making fun of everyone who thinks that with this” “go watch his podcast it says everything” and I’m like I have no idea what’s going on. It doesn’t help that I’m autistic too, so like this “straightener thing” going on could very well be real, or fake and their so called relationship could be real or fake but I’m not taking in the social cues and have no idea how to interpret it. For me, it is coming from a place of confusion rather than it is to identify his sexuality, be angry at him, want him straight want him gay.
Yes this! I had an old Brad mondo video I hadn’t watched suggested to me the other day and he literally said he was a gay man so genuinely curious about the relationship 😂
I saw a Facebook video yesterday where a openly gay man was engaged to a woman. He said he'd never felt any sexual attraction to women before he met her. He fell in love with her as a person, enjoys the bedroom action but could never imagine doing it with another woman than her. She is his best friend and the love of his life. Engaged to be married. He said he's a gay man who just happened to meet the one who also happened to be a woman.
Sometimes we can't control who we fall in love with so what if it's someone of the same gender or opposite gender. Should that man be denied that kind of love because he identifies as gay and she's a woman? I say no.
I think the point is who cares either way it's his business and everyone took it all so personal and serious
frankly brad, your sexual orientation is and I believe should be your personal business and everyone else should leave your personal life alone. don't feel like your entitled to explain anything to your viewers. your awesome and I enjoy your videos very much. you, her and your brother make me laugh and happy. I will continue to watch your entertaining videos.
Being bi is so hard bc you’re either not straight enough or not gay enough. And I’ve had people say “why don’t you just pick” it’s so ignorant but don’t take it personal. It’s hard when people in the LGBT+ community are bi phobic
Real!! or just being considered half gay and half straight like no its full bisexual lmaoo
It is hard being bi.. I'm lending towards lesbian I'm just tried of men
Agree.... Over 20 years ago, i had this argue with a lesbian, because i said, i'm bi, and she wanted to borrow me her best friend to test myself, if maybe i'm straight because if i'm bi i could never be satisfied with one gender🙄🙄
I have always felt like people who identify as Bi seem to always get the bad shit end of the stick. Which sucks 😤 I thought the LGBQT+ community was super to be all inclusive and excepting but seem like the bi community are always judged because they ain't lesbian or gay enough. I personally think bi people have the best of both worlds, twice the amount of people who could be the one ❤
As a straight woman I will never judge you or and other bi person by your sexual preferences just like I wouldn't judge any one from the other categories.
I like it when they call me gay even after making it clear that I’m bi, like bitch your making me lose my chances with the opposite sex
My daughter always dated men. Met a woman and they are getting married this year. She doesnt define herself as any sexuality. Shes attracted to the person not whats between their legs. Quite frankly Brad its NO ONES business, you like who you like. You're honest, fresh and open thats all that matters. You cheer up so many with your "Hey Beautiful" and your bomb ass hair line. You're Brad and we love you for it ❤ Your personal life is yours.
Same though
Well no. She's attracted to predominantly men. She's a K1 or 2. Same way I'm a K4 or 5. I also prefer labels as 'gay' or 'queer' over bisexual because it doesn't feel right for me when being attracted to real life men is a rarity (attracted to fictional men being different). You can label yourself however you like but it doesn't change what you are.
People who are attracted to the person are demi. They usually do not feel attraction to a person until they know them fairly well. Your daughter has demonstrated a sexual preference.
@StillShade she has indeed and doesn't label herself as she so perfectly put. I love who I love. I am aware of her label as is she. She says she's her, she's been labelled all her life, she again told her consultant she's just her. The wedding isn't far away now. We are all extremely excited. Their dresses are beautiful 😍 it's going to be a wonderful day. They got engaged on a leap year and will be married on one. They are wonderful together, and that is all that matters.
I'm coming to this video because it is Thursday and it is time for Brad & Sophia. I am never concerned about either one of your sexuality, as long as you are happy.
I never thought about his sexuality once until they started posting and acting like they are a couple. This is a self induced publicity stunt because he made his sexuality a topic of discussion and is now acting like people can’t or shouldn’t care about it.
That part! I'm confused by his response also. He's saying stuff like you guys don't need to take ownership of my sexuality and I've got the situation down over here. Babe no one is doing that nor is anyone 'worried' about whatever your situation is but if you've for years given an image of a guy man and even said in several videos you are a gay man, then suddenly start pretending/acting like you're in a relationship with a woman now, people are going to be interested no? Such a strange thing to do.
@@lindasamba4816 exactly. Like that's the only reason anyone is talking about it... cause they're posting as a couple 😂
@@erinnicole3170 !!!!!
@@lindasamba4816 Exactly! I thought their response was snotty and I actually unfollowed him everywhere. Not here to be gaslit into thinking I’m the problem.
Brad has changed his style and looks and way he acts many times before and no one cares till he starts acting straight. Everything he does is for views and marketing who cares if he chose to do it this way. People taking it all way to seriously and personal it's actually really weird
Don't feel bad Brad. I was born in 1990 so she's not just calling you old. She is calling most of us old.😂😂😂
1988 🤷🏻♀️
Let's face it. We were born a century ago basically. We rock.
OMG I must be an ancient dinosaur born 1964🎉😂
We’re older than Google! Which launched September 1998 when I was 4
@@sharlenearmstrong1289you’re only as old as you feel right? ♡
To Brad, I think it’s that many of your longtime fans recall the coming out video you posted a few years ago in which you stated you were gay and were used to that so now hearing and seeing you interact as a heterosexual male with a woman is confusing. It’s not that we’re entitled to know details of your personal stuff. Just from the outside looking it’s been confusing
Being bisexual is a thing. Just because he (may) be dating a woman now doesn't mean he isn't still attracted to men. It doesn't make him heterosexual.
When straight men discover they like men everyone is clapping and it doesn’t seem suspicious or confusing. Why is it a problem otherwise? you Are not attracted to a gender in general but rather to specific people. Everybody has a type ( visually, mentally, emotionally) It’s obvious he has a crush on her!! They have an insane chemistry and very comparable!! It’s rare…
If you came out as gay years earlier and now you're suddenly not, it feels disingenuous and makes people less likely to trust anything you say, this new revelation included. Or like when everyone thought you had a twin brother. Or the time you switched out the mannequin head with the box dye. Makes you seem like a liar and gives pause to the fans who may have seen you as a gay icon, as well. This is giving beard vibes instead of pan/bi vibes... really don't think it has anything to do with females thinking they have a chance with Brad Mondo now or jealousy or ignorance. It's literally just a confusing statement to come out with and it feels even more questionable because there's no romantic chemistry or exciting banter that makes you think these two are anything more than just friends. I've seen him have more chemistry with random guests that have come on for a makeover. That being said, it's no one's business and if you want to go be with a chick, go for it. BUT don't act shocked when people are like... wtf is he talking about, didn't he say he was gay? It makes it feel like a marketing tool to get people to listen to the podcast. That's all.
Wait, does he not have a twin brother? Haven't we seen him?@@marilyn1660
@@marilyn1660 I haven’t finished the video yet, but what exactly makes you think that people can’t change their attraction? I mean people say they like pineapples one day and wind up saying they hate them two years later. People change, people evolve, and people experiment to see what they do and don’t like. It’s human nature 🤷🏼♀️
It may feel disingenuous to you, but I think the majority of real fans don’t share that same feeling. It’s not lying, it’s evolving, and even if it was/is a marketing ploy, majority of fans know him well enough from his videos to realize that it would all entirely be a joking manner. While, yes, many have been/were skeptical of that, it doesn’t mean we didn’t trust him because of that. Companies do marketing ploys all the time for the sake of bringing attention to their brand. That’s basically what sponsorships are. If that is/was what it was, it’s creative and it’s smart. It got people talking, which is what the point of marketing ploys is, and it was different.
I think some of it does amount to females with attraction. However, I think most of it is the fact that people are interested. It’s like a real life reality show and people are waiting on the edge of their seats for the answers they’re seeking.
Many people, even in this comments section, will have to disagree with you on the matter of chemistry. Sooooo many people think they have romantic chemistry. While I don’t really agree, I haven’t fully watched most of the videos including Sophia.
I think this whole thing was a good idea, even if it’s a marketing tool. Maybe it’ll help people realize that it’s not lying to say your gay years before and then say that you have a girlfriend because sexuality is not different from liking or disliking pineapples. It’s a game of experimentation and what feels right then. 3 years ago what felt right to him was coming out as gay and maybe now what feels right is to be with her.
I honestly hate labeling in the LGBTQIA+ community for reasons such as this. They can be good, but people who don’t see it this way and see it as lying and deception when you change your label or experiment with another ultimately get confused. Plus, it’s never sure that even that person knows their label, so I really think everyone should just go with queer, but then you also run into the issue that Brad discussed of not knowing exactly what queer May mean for that person so idk, I just hope he’s happy 🤷🏼♀️
Our besties are back again with some top-tier content 🎉 The thing I like about your podcast is that it is completely natural, with no forced words to sound smart, it's like having a relaxed conversation with my closest friends.
I imagine people are confused because you have talked about being gay (coming out, etc.) in the past and now are being intentionally evasive about the nature of your relationship with Sophia. Perhaps some people wonder if there is manipualtion (of followers/fans) involved. I have always thought the Kinsey sexuality scale made alot of sense. 0 = exclusively heterosexual and 6 = eclusively homosexual. Most people are somewhere in between. As long as nobody is getting hurt and there is no ulterior motive, it is all good.
This. I think people are confused and wondering if this is fake to promote their podcast and new products….. if not, great for them. But it’s just strange
Most people are either or. Wdym most people are in between?
@@janesmart1958 Just Google the research on sexuality as a spectrum. (I am not being dismissive. There is simply too much to post.) I can assure you that only a minority of people are the polar extremes of that spectrum. It doesn't matter if you use the Kinsey 0-6 scale or not.
I haven't read the research & see no need to. I have eyes, ears & avg intelligence & just like most people, I know heterosexuals make up the majority. Yes, the % of has decreased esp in last 10-15 yrs but, I'm willing to bet it's still the majority & prob over 50%.
This was so fun to watch! Definitely better energy between you too. Sophia is a jewel! And Brad is really nice to see you expressing yourself naturally.
Cant wait for next week episode!
Bisexuality is an attraction that is inclusive of anyone regardless of sex or gender, and you dont have to actively seek out/sleep with/be in a relationship with certain genders in order to "qualify"/identify as bisexual; as long as there is an attraction, that's all you need. A bi man that never ends up sleeping/being in a relationship with a woman is still a bi man, just like a bi man who never ends up sleeping/being in a relationship with a man is still a bi man, just like a bi man who ends up never sleeping/being in a relationship with anybody is still a bi man. Bisexuality is a spectrum. It doesn't have to be (and for most people, isn't) a 50/50 split; it can be 60/40 or 75/25 or 90/10, and it can even be fluid at different points in someone's life. Because, again, bisexuality is a spectrum.
*!* This isn't necessarily to say that _Brad_ is bisexual, because his sexuality and experiences are his own to define/label (or to not define/label), but moreso for those that seem to forget that bisexuality even exists in the first place, or have a blantant misunderstanding of what bisexuality even is.
Also, just to clarify:
Bisexuality is, and always has been, inclusive of anyone regardless of sex or gender. Bisexuality has always been inclusive of trans and nonbinary lovers.
The "bi" in bisexual does NOT mean "man and woman," nor does it mean "two or more"; the "bi" stands for 1.) homo ("same as"), and 2.) hetero ("different from"), meaning bisexual people experience both homosexual and heterosexual attraction. Since every single person on the planet falls into this category ("same or different sex/gender as me"), bisexual people thus have the capacity to be attracted to anyone, regardless of gender.
Isn't that literally just what pansexual is?
This is perfect. Thank you
@@strangeducklingwell you’re describing pansexual, not bisexual. Bi literally means two - as in attracted to men and women. I identify as bisexual but am not attracted to trans or ace people.
I consider myself bi. I am attracted to both, but I date men. I've never envisioned dating a woman. Other things absolutely. So I understand you.
THIS. I I could never put it into words, but you just described it perfectly for me. Thank you!
Sexually attracted to both but only romantically attracted to men?..
Me 🙋🏻♀️ dating women I found difficult to envision. Wasn’t the path for me at all!! But other things with women and being attracted to women 1000%. I identify as bi but date men. And currently married to a man.
You just like attention from women 😂 that’s all. You straight, just attention seeking
@@vmrod424so straight but find women attractive?
You two have great chemistry for a podcast! Very fun! Looking forward to more!
All the hate aside, you guys really are awesome together though. Brad being into hair and completely smitten by Sophia’s beauty and Sophia being absolutely gorgeous is just a match made in heaven. An artist and his muse. Plus the fact that you two get along so well is so endearing. Great podcast. I love how you guys discussed the topics and really tried to understand it. Conversation seemed very reasonable and balanced and entertaining. Two gorgeous people being in awe of each other and vibing together? How can Brad NOT be straight.
It’s honestly no one’s business. Sometimes, if this is the case, you just find your person, and it’s that simple. I love the content you two put out, and I have literally laughed until my abs hurt at times. I also love the individual content pertaining to hair, and hair care. Individually, and together, you two are simply amazing. You are truly appreciated😌
I don't care what his sexuality is. I just love to watch the videos and have learned so much. Adding Sofia makes content a little different but also introduced me to another awesome creator to watch. Keep up the awesome work you two!
This is for Sophia: Demisexual is on the asexuality spectrum. I am demisexual and what you described yourself as matches the definition. You seem slightly confused between sexual and romantic attraction. If you are attracted to men (or women) but don't get sexually aroused unless you create some form of emotional connection first, you are demisexual. It is not only women who experience this type of sexuality. You can be a sexually active person with a romantic partner and still be on the asexual spectrum. I know it is complicated!
If you have that much time in your life to think about it that much, you need a better life. Just do what you want, not everything needs a label 😂
@@jk7713I took a minute out of my life to help someone . You took a minute out of your life to needlessly insult someone. Think about it. Next!
@@debbiemccune1952 imagine being that narcissistic 😂 because people like you need to be called out. It’s ridiculous nonsense
@@debbiemccune1952you absolutely did. Because I had no idea that was something. And, this is definitely me as well. So thank you for the information. It actually makes so much sense now for me. Clears up a lot of things. I thought everyone was this way.
Thank you for this comment! It helped me to understand the demisexual definition! ❤️
It's weird because ppl will acknowledge that there's a spectrum in attraction but then will be mad when someone exists in said spectrum...
One of my best friends is a gay male. He had only ever been attracted to men..we met through work and I legit thought he hated me for weeks. Later we got close and he admitted he pushed me away because I made him question his sexuality. So many times we came close to making out but never ended up doing it. We're the best of friends now but years later we still have chemistry. (I agree with sophia...it's such an ego stroke). I think you can be gay or lesbian but meet that odd person that attracts you. Same for straight people. I dont think it changes your orientation. I think it's just a one-off.
I think it’s a blessing to have a more broad perspective of your sexuality, as long as it’s not hurting anyone and each person consents to it. Life is too short and you gotta go with what makes you feel good and you can experience different types of love and pleasure! The fact that Brad feels the need to give people answers is sad because everyone needs to stop putting so much pressure on him. He deserves to choose how and when he wants to express or show off his sexuality/love to the people he is attracted to, whether that’s privately or publicly.
I don’t care about your sex life, I just love you guys together!!! FYI- yes to the fantasy BUT it’s Brad cutting and styling my hair perfectly while making me laugh….that’s the OLD LADY fantasy
Yessss Labels put you in a box!! Be queer and love people for who they are who cares 😭😭😭 my baby daddy was my gay best friend in high school and we fell in love and we got a ton of backlash from everyone for just falling in love and people not understanding why or how like we aren’t just humans! Love is love and we aren’t defined to one thing and even if you are that’s still ok!
Oprah had an episode where they discussed sexuality. Made a lot of sense. Sexuality is a scale from 1 to 5. 1 is 100% straight, and 5 is 100% gay. 95%of people fall between 2 and 4. I think anyone gets to love who they want to love as long as it is concentual and non-manipulative.
that's so interesting!!
I straight up had never heard of Sophia before y'all started hanging out. I effing love her, though!! Clearly I don't "know" either of you, but you both just seem so genuine and fabulous. I'm so happy you guys found each other! Your chemistry and dynamic is absolutely darling and electric. This was educational for sure! I thought I knew my gay alphabet - WRONG lol!! Love you guys ❤❤
You know what you are Brad…….a fucking smoke show, a snack! An amazing human being! You be whatever you’re happy with ❤️ your orientation is your choice and doesn’t define you, just be Brad!
It's the 2nd and 3rd theory 😅😂. Humans are naturally curious. We're like cats. The angry ones are freaking weirdos.....
Have a adored Brad for years now and still will. This might sound unimportant but I was a little sad to hear the comments at the start about "what if I gef big, like even a pound would you tell me" like that would be a bad thing. Struggling with body image so bad and it strung 😢
Yeah, this girl has no filter. It's bad. She needs to be self aware of what she is saying. It's embarrassing.
@@amsterdame Glad it's not just me then. Looks fade but personality lasts forever.
Brad, you’re a talented hairdresser, you seem like a nice guy with a lot of banter to give. I don’t care if you’re straight, gay bi, it’s your life if it makes you happy, you’re not harming anyone.
Sofia is so lovely.
God bless to you both.
Is Brad Mondo straight? After watching this my conclusion is he considers himself gay but is also attracted to women. 🤔
That could define him as bi but if hes still attracted to men hes not straight
People have been angry about your sexuality? Seriously? Of all the things in this world to genuinely get angry about they choose something that's none of their business nor concern. Wow 🤦♂️
I think that sexuality/ orientation is on a spectrum like for example I’m bisexual and I’d say I would go for men 90% of the time. It doesn’t mean that I’m not bisexual cause I’m more attracted to men than women. It’s just on a spectrum. Honestly I’ll always watch your content on both of your channels and it doesn’t matter to me what your sexual orientation is. I’ll always love your content either way ❤🩵🤍🧡
I’m the exact same way! I lean more towards men but that doesn’t change the fact I find women attractive from time to time.
Brad's words, for all y'all who won't watch the entire video but do wanna know about his sexuality:
Timestamp 39:35 - 40:05
" ..like I would say I'm gay, but in a lot of ways I would say I'm not that gay. Like I'm definitely way less gay than a lot of gay people I meet. Like... I think women are attractive and I am not repulsed by the idea of sleeping with a woman...but I'm not actively trying to sleep with women."
You're welcome.
Now we can move onto our regularly scheduled program.
He said in an old video where there was a woman with large breasts “i am as gay as i could be” . But again is that a thing? Is people worried about that in this age? Hmm
Love you NO MATTER what your sexuality is!!! Love Sofia too! Love love LOVE her hair!
I’m bi and I tell people I’m 99% attracted to women 1% to men. Doesn’t mean I’m a lesbian, I’m still attracted to men. Ended up dating a man. Sexuality is fluid and doesn’t always need a label!
no rules no labels!
@@outoftouch_podcastI never want to be labeled sexually. When anyone asked about my orientation, I always told them not to put me in a box. I’m a 54 y.o. Grandma, I recently learned that I’m referred to as “unlabeled”, which kind of irks me bc it’s a label. 🤣
Watching videos, hearing Brad say "straight men do..." and also as "gay men do..." I've always assumed Brad was Bi-leaning. (Im only upto discussion about LGBTQIA+ as I post this)
I honestly don’t care if you’re gay or not as long as your Brad lol
?
Great convo. Love your unapologetic self-honesty. You too are lovely. 💕
Ha, misspelled! U TWO 2 R 🥰ly.
Brad, I don’t care what your sexuality is. However, I think, like Sophia, I’m more confused on your situation ship than when I came into this video.
Watching this video, for me, was simply out of curiosity of what this relationship is. It wasn’t about if your straight, gay, or bi, like you said it’s not my business and labels are kinda dumb sometimes anyway. I was more just curious on the relationship status here, if that makes sense.
Making this relationship a topic of discussion then being upset that people are talking about doesn't seem crazy to you? He even called them a situationship/relationship in this very video implying something is going on between them but if people speak we're all up in his business??? I love him but this is stupid
@@lindasamba4816 please, don’t twist my words. What I said was his label was none of our business. I was not referring to the relationship itself when I said that. I think either they don’t even know what the relationship is or it’s a marketing thing or it’s to keep him relevant. Personally, I do think it’s a bit odd, but there is a reason behind it, they’re just not sharing it yet (or maybe never).
My comment was referring more to his label as a member of the LQBTQIA+ community, not to the label of their relationship. I suppose I should correct myself, the last paragraph was more towards his label. Even though I agree this is odd, it is still none of our business. You can talk about something vaguely on the internet and the rest still be no one else’s business. It’s not affecting our lives in the slightest not knowing or knowing about his label as a part of the community or their relationship status. That’s just my opinion on it all though. You don’t have to share it or like or even read it. I just stated my thoughts.
I love them as a couple. They are so beautiful together. ❤
I love you guys together whether you're dating or not. You guys compliment each other more than you know. I love how much you encourage and build each other up, it's so refreshing to see.
I am now MORE CONFUSED about you two! lol Sofia is incredibly gorgeous and whatever is going on between you two well......we will never know! lol
Braid is gay but flirts with Sophia as a half joke kinda because she is a physically attractive girl but they also do it for the exposure of their podcast 🤓 oh and Sophia of course is straight
Imho, your sexuality is nobody’s business but your own. As long as you are happy and living your best life, that is all that matters! 💞
23:55 I 100% agree with Sophia. Maybe I’m not the most sexual lady but damn I next to never think about sex when it comes to attraction. Sophia we can be friends anytime 😘
This. I'm the same way but I do think I have some asexuality in me since I'm not interested in looking.
Can you explain what you mean? Like even if you find someone physically attractive you don’t think about having sex with them? Or you’re only really attracted to their personality?
I think yall did a great job discussing this! I know initially I was one of the ones confused, and really throughout this whole thing yall made me think. Why should I care so much over a private thing? I think that one point was made hit home for me….follower of brad for years, and maybe internally i hoped whoaaaaaa….could there be hope for me and Brad? LOLOLOLOLOLOL iiiii meannnn, that point hit. Yall hit on some good thought provoking parts. And no, I am too old for Brad lol but yeah so many of us developed crushes on our favorite hairdresser reacts boi! We love you too Sophia! 🎉
I can hear the quiver in Brad's voice when talking about the club scene. I think Queer is appropriate for Brad, but Bi is also on a scale. You can be mostly interested in men and a little bit in women and that's fine.
39:35 the answer
You are an angel
Ty!!!!
I just want to say before I watch this Mr.Mondo I personally don't care gay or straight my girlfriend and I love your videos, this is my very first time watching your podcast. I can't wait to see more after I go back and watch your others. You do you you beautiful man keep up the great work and hustle
I can’t believe people would care or get angry about someone else’s sexual orientation or who they may or may not be with (as long as there are no safety concerns). Sorry you had to deal with this.
I love this! Sexuality isn't really black and white and I love how you are not afraid to talk about that!
Thank you Brad. I have been watching you on and off many times. I stopped watching youtube etc when my daughter was diagnosed with cancer, and eventually passed away. We loved watching you together and so watching alone now was a bit painful but then you always cheer me up. So I have only recently started watching again and your last video that you had a girlfriend had me so confused, because I recalled a prior video with your brother where you clearly said you were gay. I had to scroll and scroll the comments, which frustrated me so much because people were accusing you of a money grab. In the end it doesn't matter, but it does also cause your persona is tied to who and how you think of yourself. Loved you before, love you now and even if you are gay, straight, bi, pink, purple, blue, blonde, whatever, I just don't want to be like "He said what now?"
Hugs from North Macedonia.
You both are so beautiful and so entertaining! I'm Pan, and I always was. I thought that everyone thought and felt the same until I learned otherwise.

If I see a beautiful man, it's more possible that I imagined like family and having children with him. Not really sex
Same. Technically this is a form of asexuality called demisexual. It is where you are only sexually attracted to people who you have some form of emotional connection to. It is what Sophia seems to be as well....even though neithr her nor Brad understood the definition of asexual.
Sophia is right.. I’m curious because I wanna know if I have a chance lmao
I didn't know Brad had a podcast! Hi Brad! I'm such a fan of hairdresser reacts and of you!
I'm sorry people are getting weird about your sexuality..
I never thought it was my business, but I watched to get more Brad content! Love you 😊
Brad, check out "The Kinsey Scale." Alfred Kinsey said that all people's sexuality falls within a scale. Personally, I'd say that it's not unusual that you'd identify as gay but still find some women attractive and not be disgusted by the idea of sleeping with women.
And, am I the only one who has always considered 1994-1996 as the "mid-90s"? The same goes for the 00s... as in the mid 2000's as being 2004-2006.
Idk if it has something to do with when I was born and when I graduated, but I was born in 1991 and graduated in 2009.
Where is the anger he is saying about? 😅
I think most of his fans are cool with him.
Is the anger on TikTok ? Or elsewhere?
Instagram is wild 🥲
I've seen a lot of hate in the comments of his IG posts. Not so much on CZcams though!
The only angry comments I've seen is from people have basically said it seems like he's straight bainting idk if that's the right term but yeah pretending to be straight for marketing purposes and think that's it's basically unethical to do such a thing. And even those comments I wouldn't say it was that much.
I watch this podcast often. I didn't come here to hear what your sexuality is. It doesn't affect me at all. I learned a lot. I've met two women in my life that i would have had long lasting relationships with if it worked out that way.. but it didn't 😢 i enjoy your podcast. It makes me laugh. Y'all have a great weekend!! ❤❤😊😊
The sad thing is... you should ge able to like whatever you like without catching hate from people. Your life doesn't impact them in anyway. I think people tend to throw anger around because they are so unhappy or uncomfortable in their own skin or life. Keep doing you and don't stress over what they think.
You two are absolutely adorable together! As someone with ADHD, I'm naturally extroverted and bubbly, and your conversation felt like catching up with my closest friends. 🌟
I appreciate that you both discussed different labels and how they apply to yourselves and others. It's essential to recognize and respect individual identities. As for sexual preferences, I'm a staunch supporter-love is love, no matter the form it takes. 🌈
Your compatibility and happiness radiate through, making you both gorgeous together. 🥰 And those who obsess over fitting you into a specific box? Well, they're missing out. Your tribe-the people who truly care-will rally around you, no matter what. 🙌
And that comment about Sophia enjoying being in a cage? Hilarious! Brad's clearly exploring some adventurous territory. 😂
It doesnt matter to me what your sexuality it. Ive come for the content and will stay for the content. Ive learned so much from you over the years!!!!
😂😂😂 I love this video so far lmfao.. we're only like 11 minutes in
You two are hilarious and this episode made me cringe, laugh, cringe, laugh! I look forward to your podcast every week! ❤
Brad you once said sexuality is spectrum, and that's so true.
Yes so true!!!
Just for a bit of clarity as an Asexual the way i define it is that i dont feel sexual attraction but feel romantic attraction but it doesnt mean that i dont like sex it just means that i need a strong connection to a person to consider it but for a more genral its scale some may be repulsed by it to people who like the feeling but dont feel sexual attraction basically they dont need to feel sexual attraction to enjoy sex/masterbastion. I hope this gave clarity to anyone confused or hope it didnt make anyone more confused
The only thing I'm curious about is if you're going to have fragrance free hair products???
I am happy you guys are happy ! I love the podcast and been watching Brad's videos for years. It's also nobody's business how Brad feels ! I will never understand why some are offended or angry about it. It's nonsense. You guys rock, Sophia is beautiful, Brad is beautiful, and that's all! ( I am eagerly waiting for Brad's products to be available in Europe too:(( I'm a hairdresser, and I just wanna tryyyyyy them!!! ) guys again, you rock. 💛
I clicked this because I wanted to support you. I’ve been watching you a couple of years now and I think you’re fun, your brothers are fun, and you clearly love them and your mom. That’s all that should matter. The rest is just noise.
the fact that such an overwhelming amount of people are almost demanding clarification on something so personal that is literally none of anyone's business is invasively alarming. We all came here to learn about HAIR and Brad has always been there for us and our questions, never gatekeeping industry secrets, and this is how y'all repay him? Leave him alone, he's not bothering anyone.
OMG!!!! That room is stunning
Uhhh. Hot content!
You guys do whatever you want. It's no one's business! Just being happy is all that matters. But love to watch all the conversations!
brad's sexually is his personal business, and, he is beyond .gorgeous. wishing hi all the best, but hey, I can dream lol just want Brad to be happy
Brad kinda looks like Chris from the CZcams channel called Special books by special kids
So interesting hearing you two on your opposing views on thoughts on attractive people you see on the street.
I would be so interested to know how many people go straight to sexual thoughts vs not lol!!
I also do not think sexually when looking at people on the street but I know my girl best friend does, it’s not necessary just the difference between men and woman
I have not watched he'd this video and I just wanted to leave you this message that it does not matter what sexuallity you are to me. What matters is that you are able to navigate this life healthful and with joy.
Long ass video for no reason. It starts at minute 39:00 and he basically says he's gay but attracted to women AND he doesnt have an exact label yet.
Thank you so much for this😭🙏 and yesss nobody have time to watch all the unnecessary rambling
It's a recorded podcast, hence why it's so long :)
@ecmonkey13 You dont get the point of a podcast.... 😂
I would say im curious. But it doesn't really matter to me. I just love your videos and I've learned so much about hair from you and I grew up doing my own hair and I had no clue how much I didn't know until I found your channel.
I’ve known multiple guys who identify as gay who have been attracted to women and would date them. I also made out with a couple of them. Lol. People’s tastes can grow and change. I’ve also known plenty of people who are straight and their taste in the type of woman/man they’re attracted to changes over time (re: liking someone who’s into one style or interest, and liking someone who’s into opposite things later).
1:01:24 as an avoidant, this whole dynamic ya’ll have has me in a chokehold
Well said Brad, your sexuality is yours and only yours. People are allowed to be curious and ask questions, it’s up to you if you then choose to answer them. BUT they have no right to be angry about it! Keep being you my lovely, you’re awesome regardless of your sexuality❤ x
I love you. Seeing you genuinely happy is awesome. Everyone else can suck it.
Trans people never wanted to be trans... But they are... And they embrace it! There's so much to love about knowing what testosterone/estrogen 'feels' like and what privilege 'feels' like and understanding the loneliness of being male or the constant misogyny in your face when living as a female. These things feed into one's empathy of the other genders.
I am absolutely a new sub!! You guys are great!
My ex is bisexual and we dated for 8 years. We did break up for 5 months. He did choose to date a guy. Then we got back together for 3 more years. We finally split.He really does love women. But at this point in time. He would rather date men. Which is fine. Honestly I feel that he does better with dating the same gender ❤️ I just wish him happiness ❣️
I literally only clicked because 1) Brad Mondo. 2) Brad Mondo. And 3) it was recommended.
Love ya Brad! Your videos are fantastic.
Yeah Sophie, women do feel that way about seeing someone and wanting to be sexual and even have sex. You're so sweetly Disney, in that respect.
Not all men feel a way and not all women feel a certain way. Allow flexibility in life and there we are.
Love this convo and keep shining! :) xoxo
@@bonjouratous1460 That is true - just a concept of "Disney" which is out of date.
Was that the first "I love you" at the end?
You both are so cute together!
Wish you all the luck in die World!
Greetings from Germany :*
For anyone curious...He's not gay, he just likes the attention 😂
40:29 This is exactly how I feel. All of these labels exist to help people understand themselves and identify to others. How you identify is unique to you and no one else has ownership over that. I was a little curious after you posted the video where you did your girlfriend's hair, but I just kinda shrugged it off cuz it's actually none of my business. I'm not really into podcasts and only came to watch this because you posted it on your main channel so I figured you were ready to share. I respect how you identify ❤
I will say, to clarify asexuality, it *can* mean someone who doesn't desire sex at all but it can also include people who experience sexual desires only in specific circumstances. That's why asexuality is referred to as more of a spectrum. Hope that helps!
Intersex is a little bit more complex and I know that you two were probably trying to simplify it. You can be born presenting female , have a V and develop breasts , and you could have underdeveloped and undescended testes .
A woman could be brown with a very enlarged C ( not using full terms so no one gets o trouble with YT) , but it looks like a small 🍆. When you look at chromosomes and hormone levels you can't determine if the persons sex .
It used to be common that parents determined their child's gender and the child would have surgeries that would match their "sex and "gender", only for the person to identify as the opposite gender. The surgeries often leave intersex person with sexual disfunction and loss of sensation , if not total loss of sexual sensation .
If you want to understand asexuality (I’m sex-repulsed asexual but also hetero and demiromantic), go follow Ace Dad Advice, Lynn Saga and Spacey Aces. Note that asexuality and aromanticism are not the same. You can be either or you can be both. I’m on both spectra, as I said. Also note that sexual attraction is not the same as sex drive or libido. Most asexuals do have sex, for various reasons.
The way Brad looked at her in the end was so dreamy. ❤️
Brad and Sophia, I ❤️ Watchung you two. You are so entertaining. Furthermore, it is nobody's business what your sexual orientation is. If people want to know, it is probably so they can stir the pot and spread gossip. Keep being you and live your extra life...both of you.
I love you both so much! No one owns your sexuality, and it's great that you both know you can be exactly who you are and enjoy your attraction to who ever you like, and that it evolves over time.
To Brad I happy your open minded your a gorgeous human inside and out and I have loved watching you over the years I adore you keep being you and do what makes you happy always who care what others think cause there is always hater and most of them are just jealous of you!
Brad you’re just an amazing human being. Never stop being yourself, whatever the label may be. I get that people are confused about the situation (myself included) because you portrayed a different image before but it doesn’t mean this cannot be part of the whole picture ♥️
I think it’s hard for Brad to put a label, because he’s mostly been sexually attracted to men (and it also seems like he’s not had any sexual experience with women, he said he COULD sleep with one, not that he HAD), but he is sexually attracted to Sophia so he is confused. And she is confused because he’s always been attracted to men and she is not a man. (And she also seems pretty inexperienced sexually.) When I see them I see two ppl feeling butterflies and stuff but still being shy about taking it further. Like a couple of teenagers. So cute! My advice: just do it! It’s just sex! No big deal! If you don’t click you don’t click. You seem to be good enough friends to still remain so. All this just seems like the worlds longest foreplay… 🤔😜
I’m definitely one of those women who can start to sexually fantasize about a guy I see whom I find attractive, most definitely! But to be totally honest, it’s happened plenty more in the last 10 years since my husband and I opened our relationship. Now it’s “fair game” to sleep with whom ever we choose. 🙈😉 I think women might need that “permission” to do that, fantasize I mean.
That is definitely the vibe
Omg the 90s conversation killed me like thanks I feel old now 👍🏼😂😂😂🤦🏼♀️
