Out Loud & Laughing
Join Jon and Bryan — biological twin cousins (yes, really, our moms are sisters and our dads are brothers), and who also both identify as gay — in their weekly podcast grounded in vastly juxtaposed lived experiences. At 40, they're exploring together what it means to grow up, glow up, and show up while queer, out loud, and laughing.
Follow along as Bryan, a married father of two and Jon, a sober, single and thriving gay man navigate life with fresh perspectives to bring you honest, humorous, and topics deeply rooted in identity, resilience, and connection.
