In this episode: Maria Van Cartier brings the glamour, humor, and unforgettable stories. The importance of documenting and preserving queer history. How New York City nightlife creates community and chosen family. Making space for the stories of Black and Brown queer people. What it means to live—and age—openly and unapologetically. Maria shares the inspiration behind her podcast, Remember the Time . Steve V discusses his current Substack post, “When Gay Men Started Looking at Me.” Steve reacts to the latest alarming AI story and asks whether the people developing artificial intelligence know something the rest of us don’t. How the new warning connects to this year’s documentary, The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist . Plus, plenty of laughter, cocktails, and wonderfully unfiltered conversation. It’s funny, heartfelt, occasionally messy, and unmistakably Maria Van Cartier.

In this episode: • Is the “top shortage” supported by real data? • Why are younger gay men more likely to identify as bottoms? • Do some men grow into topping as they gain confidence and experience? • Are there no tops—or simply no tops who meet every requirement? • The erection and performance pressure placed on tops • Why topping a partner can feel easier than topping a stranger • Porn, hookup apps, masculinity, and unrealistic sexual expectations • Can a soft top still deliver a great sexual experience? • Are top, bottom, and vers preferences—or identities? • Why expanding our definition of sex may benefit everyone So, where have all the tops gone?

In this episode: More hilariously vague Grindr phrases translated Why “not on here much” rarely means what it says The difference between losing interest and genuinely ghosting someone Why men initiate conversations they have no intention of continuing Whether apps provide validation even when no hookup happens The endless cycle of taps, photos, attention and disappearing Why possibility can feel more exciting than actually meeting App fatigue and the exhaustion of repetitive conversations When silence becomes disrespectful Whether brutal honesty is really better than no response Maybe sex isn’t what prevents gay men from forming meaningful connections. Maybe the real obstacle is how easily we’ve learned to treat one another as temporary squares on a screen. And remember: “Hey stranger” is not an apology.

When does being genuinely unsure about someone become stringing him along? Are we avoiding rejection—or simply avoiding an uncomfortable conversation? Why do we sometimes want someone more the minute they start pulling away? Can you have a roster of casual guys without actually benching anybody? Have dating apps conditioned us to constantly look for the next best thing? Is being slowly benched actually worse than being ghosted? And when you finally know someone isn't right for you, do you owe him the truth? It’s funny, revealing and occasionally uncomfortable as Steve, Jeremy and Kodi admit that when it comes to dating badly, most of us probably aren't completely innocent. Because sometimes the problem isn't the guy who put us on the bench. Sometimes we're the coach. Hot Topic: New Bathhouse in Birmingham, YUMBO offers both bar for LGBTQ plus upstairs bathhouse...
