Life has had other plans lately.

In this special solo episode of Brolapse, Ryan James (HungerFF) opens up about the unexpected series of events that have delayed his long-awaited colostomy reversal surgery yet again. After fracturing his ankle during a rainy walk with Eightball, he thought the worst was behind him—until a slip at home resulted in a dislocated kneecap and another trip to the emergency room.

With this week’s scheduled guest postponed, Ryan decided to turn the episode into a special edition of the HungerFF Sound Initiative, sharing an honest life update before giving listeners an exclusive preview of several upcoming tracks.

Hear the stories behind:

• Pass Around Party Bottom — the surprise breakout hit that has become the most-streamed HungerFF Sound Initiative song to date.

• Take a Hit (unreleased) — an energetic club anthem inspired by the idea of a tongue-in-cheek “poppers training video.”

• FFinal Boss (coming soon) — a video game-inspired track where, for once, the boss wins.

• I’m Just a Hole, Sir (coming soon) — a playful anthem built around one of the community’s most recognizable phrases.

Ryan also reflects on the incredible response to the HungerFF Sound Initiative after surpassing 100,000 streams worldwide, discusses creating music with AI as a creative tool, and previews what’s coming next for both the podcast and the music project.

Patrick returns for Part 2 to talk about the realities of independent publishing, editing deeply personal memoirs, censorship, queer literature, and why authenticity matters more now than ever. We also revisit the journey behind Deeper, what it takes to tell difficult stories honestly, and why some books stay with readers long after they've finished the last page.

This is the FREE radio edit of this week's episode. You're listening to an abbreviated version featuring highlights from my conversation with Patrick Davis, Editor-in-Chief of Unbound Edition Press. The full-length, uncensored interview—including over an hour of additional discussion—is available exclusively to Spotify subscribers and on HungerFF.com.

This week, Patrick and I dive into fearless publishing, queer storytelling, memoir writing, and the responsibility of preserving stories that challenge convention. We discuss discovering fisting culture, the importance of authenticity over marketability, and why the books that matter most are often the ones mainstream publishers are afraid to touch.

Patrick also shares the philosophy behind Unbound Edition Press, how authors like Alexander Cheves and Stephan Ferris helped shape its identity, and why vulnerability is the foundation of great writing. Along the way, we explore the fine line between being fearless and being reckless—both on the page and in life.
