    I said this on Instagram already, but as a Gay viewer and listener of the Pod, I really appreciated this episode. I really wish Phelps would’ve participated in this conversation. I like hearing his input and questions. I think conversations between gay black men and straight men are very vital for the black community as a whole. This would’ve been a perfect time to see some discourse.

      Oh for sure, but this episode would’ve needed 2 hrs at least

      I agree, but I think having guests is just new for them so they have to learn how to navigate a 3-way conversion.

    What I adored about this episode was his stories, every time he got off of topic you were able to reel him back to his point. That's so important because it was cohesive for the listeners to follow along if that makes sense

    I really love this episode. I wish Phelps would’ve joined in. He’s always leery about what to say and what not to say in regards to the LGBTQ community. This was the moment to ask questions. Other than that, my favorite episode!

    this gotta be my new favorite episode. i related a lot to jacen and how he was raised/his relationship with both his mom and dad. this is inspiring! s/o to mona for being great per usual. you definitely are big in the lgbtqia+ community. keep shining ⭐️

  • @Relax-db3ne
    @Relax-db3ne Před rokem +18

    I don’t always love the guest appearances but this one was great. You could see the true connection and friendship there, especially towards the end, jacen had stories for days, and he was fun to listen to. He didn’t harp on small details and shared a lot of himself with us. And of course love to Dre for the light up words on the screen!

    This episode>>> it was so authentic, like you can feel the genuine bond that y’all have, it wasn’t like you were interviewing a celeb but more so having a conversation with an old friend 💓 I will def be following Jacen, he was amazing and I love the Aquarius link up (even though y’all keep trying to come for us January Aquarius 😐) but I LOVED the insight he gave on being apart of the queer community and just like his upbringing. Now I have to go watch Paris is Burning!!
