Chizme Made Us Do It: A Christmas Special That Got Out of Hand

Zipolite, Fire Island, New York, Berlin- Where in the world are we? Well, folks, in this extremely festive and deeply irresponsible holiday episode of Trigger Warning, Adam and I strip it down- litereally and do what every life coach explicitly warns against: they hit record inside a bar in Zipolite, Mexico and let whatever happens… happen.Broadcasting live from the legendary Chizme —a bar that doubles as a confessional booth, group therapy circle, and occasional clothing‑optional community center— We  unpack our recent move to Mexico But things derail fast. There are naked nights, stories that absolutely should’ve stayed off‑mic, and that special bar‑magic moment where everyone thinks they’re hilarious and somehow… they are. Amid the tequila fumes, the conversation swerves into animal rescue, ethical living, and how being a hot mess doesn’t automatically disqualify you from having a heart.Then—like a plot twist no one sober would’ve approved- and then ‘ a friend’ walks into the bar and straight into the podcast. What follows is a brave, awkward, horny‑adjacent, and genuinely vulnerable conversation about divorce, identity, masculinity, and stepping into the gay community for the first time. It’s funny. It’s raw. It’s the kind of honesty you only get from Trigger Warning and when there no clear exit strategy.From Fire Island dreams to gay dance floors, political side‑quests, conspiracy theories that absolutely did not need airtime, and holiday reflections about chosen family, this episode zigzags violently between nonsense and sincerity. Somehow it works. Probably because it’s real.This isn’t a polished holiday special. It’s a Christmas with US!⏰ Episode Breakdown (Time Is a Suggestion)00:00 – We’re Here.
