This week I’m joined by Bransen Gates — Social media genius, actor, and Equinox instructor who somehow balances going viral with making people actually enjoy working out.

We're diving into how Bransen first started posting online, the rise of his unmistakable voiceover videos (yes, those Trump ones), and how his creative process has evolved over time. We also bond over our mutual hatred of Halloween. Because let’s be honest, it’s just gay Christmas. But somehow this leads to the brilliant realization that the Louvre heist happened at just the right time to double as the perfect last-minute costume.

Bransen gives a real look at the life of a fitness instructor — the routines, the regulars, and the moments that never make it to social media.

And thanks to our partner Avenue8 for providing the delicious beverages!!

We’ve got America’s Next Top Model winner and New York-by-way-of-the-UK it-girl, Sophie Sumner! One of my absolute favorite things about Sophie is that she can light up literally any room she walks into — I swear, if the power went out, we’d all still be fine. Her energy is absolutely contagious, and I couldn’t be more excited to have her on this week’s episode.

We’re getting into everything — life in New York, the wild world of influencer trips (spoiler alert: not all trips are created equal), and, of course, what it was really like being on one of the most iconic reality TV shows ever. Plus, Sophie’s now chasing her acting dreams and absolutely crushing it. I’m just saying — I’m honored that one day I’ll get to say, “I knew her when.”

Fair warning, you really might want to take this one off speaker.

Today, we've got internet’s most fearlessly honest creator, Colman Feighan — the master of clocking chaos with care. And yes, he’s bringing every bit of that energy to today’s episode.

We’re breaking down The Life of a Showgirl — Taylor’s new album — and talking all things sparkle, storytelling, and self-awareness. Then, we’re diving into the wild world of dating red flags and giving our best advice to you — the brave souls who wrote in with your questions.It’s candid, chaotic in the best way, and full of the kind of honesty you didn’t know you needed. Let’s get into it.

Where do I even begin with this episode? I’m joined by my NYC day-one, my ride-or-die — the one and only Carole Radziwill. You guys flooded my inbox with questions, and trust me, we got into all of it. From whether she’d ever return to #RHONY, to her take on Ryan Murphy’s upcoming Netflix series American Love Story, and yes — we even talked about how many “good summers” she thinks she has left. Nothing was off-limits.

You might know him as the Palm Beach Dad, or maybe you’ve seen him beefing with a $150 chicken tender tower at The Surf Lodge. Today, we're diving into the lore of Walker Ward — aka @WalkSauce42_.

We get into the origin story: from getting let go from his job (honestly, blessing in disguise) to somehow turning that L into a full-blown internet career. You'll hear how the man with zero plan ended up road-tripping across the country reviewing...hot dogs (yes, seriously) — and unintentionally became the internet’s favorite quarter-zip-wearing coastal elite.

And of course, we answered your spicy follower questions. Crack open your Avenue8 Cocktails, and dive in.

Ciao besties! Eric and Jeremy take the podcast to Positano on the final day of their Italian vacation, reflecting on a trip full of beautiful views, questionable spending, and deeply personal restaurant grudges.

It all started in Rome, where Eric immediately reignited his personal vendetta against a certain Roman restaurant — all because their New York location had rude staff. (Yes, he’s still mad. No, he’s not letting it go.) He spent most of Rome shopping and eating, which is exactly how he likes it.

Then came Positano, where beach club prices have officially entered delusion territory. Their solution? A fabulous escape to Conca del Sogno — check out Eric's IG highlights for some visuals on that day. It was effing wild.

We're covering Capri shopping, airport lounge strategies, and two very opinionated husbands: it’s the Italian wrap-up you didn’t know you needed.Arrivederci!!

Hi friends! This week we’ve got content creator and GenMe host ⁠Daniel Dana⁠ — a fellow corporate America escapee, Miami nightlife veteran, and someone young enough to make Eric question his skincare routine.

The two bond over their past lives in media: Daniel worked in real newsrooms, covering real stories, while Eric was busy at People Magazine reporting on celebrity baby names like it was breaking news. So yes, technically they were both in “news,” but only one of them ever had to fact-check a Kardashian quote.

They also get into what it was like growing up (Daniel in neon-lit, club-happy Miami; Eric in the Midwest, mostly surrounded by chain restaurants), what it means to leave the corporate grind behind, and why being in your 20s is secretly the messiest, most confusing decade no one warns you about.

Enjoy!!!

Hey hotties, this week travel expert and walking NYC encyclopedia Johnny Murtaugh joins Eric on the podcast to tackle one of life’s most humbling milestones: getting laid off. Fun fact — it’s actually a blessing in disguise, and Eric is just thrilled unemployment finally cleared Johnny’s calendar so he could grace the show.

They also take a chaotic stroll down memory lane to their days at Miami of Ohio — yes, they both went there, and yes, they were both in the closet. Eric shares the most absurd story about how he accidentally joined two fraternities because he has a hard time saying no.

Other crucial topics include why straight men need gay friends if they ever want a shot with women. It’s part comedy, part therapy, part “please don’t quote us on this.” You’re welcome in advance.
