Davis and Alex are joined by writer, comedian, and cosmic wanderer Ru Anderson (@ru.on.the.web) for an episode that drifts between enlightenment and absolute chaos.

Ru opens up about surviving their chaotic Saturn return, working on After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson, and the spiritual whiplash of getting laid off in Hollywood. Ru talks about being a chef at ecstatic dance ceremonies, navigating and making content about Bay Area hippie culture, and chasing the elusive flow state—with a little help (and hindrance) from Adderall.

The conversation veers through Ru’s roots in Philly, the viral creative (and romantic) collaborations with writer and comedian EJ Marcus, and the tender absurdity of trying to stay grounded in LA. Meanwhile, Davis recounts the emotional wreckage of seeing his first love become a porn star, plus the psychological warfare of watching rival gay porn stars interact in real life. Alex, naturally, is still recovering from his throuple-adjacent weekend bender.

From poppers mishaps to gyms, Pilates cults, and sound baths, this episode is a fever dream of self-improvement, self-destruction, and self-awareness.

This week on Gay, Interrupted, Davis Benz and Alex Torres sit down with comedian, artist, and culinary genius Victor Carelesi to unpack everything from love to Sweetgreen-induced spirals.

Victor spills about moving in with his boyfriend, surviving the tundra hellscape that is Chicago, his run on the Food Network, collaborating with Meg Stalter, and his extremely serious Taylor Swift song predictions.

Meanwhile, Davis recounts his brush with Khloé Kardashian’s BBL in the wild, and they spiral through what it means to be neurodivergent, to repeatedly encounter people with BPD, and to finally face our patterns instead of dating them. Alex is going through some very intense stuff, so naturally we process it publicly on-air like adults.

Plus: the origin story of how Davis and Alex met, and their ongoing journey of unlearning attraction to terrible men—a lifelong practice.

It’s heartfelt, it’s unhinged, it’s healing-ish.Get into it.

The rumors are true! Davis and Alex are joined by their sexiest friend Chase James: artist, creative, and recovering over-sharer — for a brutally honest and deeply unserious chat about what it means to exist, create, and spiral in the hell that is 2025. The trio covers everything from dating a secret agent, the burgeoning Halloween industry (yes, wigs) gone wrong to the strange performance of “being chill” and making it on the internet, queer friendships that feel like therapy (but with worse advice), and the way addiction and healing show up in gay community spaces. Chase talks about the Burning Man birth/murder and even spills what it’s really like interacting Chrissy Teigan.

There’s talk of ghosts, Grindr, and the cursed art of pretending you’re okay when you’re actually one iced coffee away from breaking down in a Rite Aid. Chase gets real about identity and recovery, Davis can’t stop psychoanalyzing everyone and talking about dating older men who have sex swings and give him doxy and say good job.

It’s messy, sincere, and probably the most Gay, Interrupted episode yet — the kind of conversation that starts with a laugh and ends in a minor existential crisis.
