Sometimes I laugh so hard at your banter that I either spit out my drink or cry. So hilarious but also so much meaningful stuff.
Hi
I have been listening and am going to pursue a Masters in Psyc and I wanted to let you know how much I love this podcast! I love that your intentions, humour, banter and close relationship.
As a single gay man I often overthink and am trying to get out of my head, re learn my worth and get my confidence back. I think I may have CPTSD and I am not sure if you have discussed that on here as I believe many gay men may deal with!
Keep doing what you do boys!
Really enjoy each episode. Please please increase the base volume of the episode. I listen in my car and i have to put it on max volume to hear and i still strain to hear. Jake’s beautiful voice especially just seems to be slightly too soft at this level. Thanks! ☺️

I love all the inside jokes and thread... more
