Well, YES, we are FINALLY back with a brand new episode and while you may have been waiting for a bit, prepare to wait just a bit longer because this is our first season finale! This past year, in our venture with our podcast, we definitely embarked on something that has surpassed what we even imagined could happen our first year doing this. From going viral on Twitter, gaining recognition worldwide, and just simply learning more about ourselves, we THANK YOU for taking the time to subscribe and tap in with SMDD. Now, this episode we look back on 2023, discuss this past holiday season and what it means to be with family, and we also talk about social media personalities Mrs. Netta & Charles, the late legend Little Richard and how he single-handedly changed the landscape of music, whether Beyonce is the Queen of Rap and much more.

DING DONG…so we’re officially in the holiday season and what better way to bring in the season of family and love than with the latest episode featuring the soon-to-be-newlyweds Dr. Matthew Brinkley and writer David Brandyn. The couple recently launched their World Of Wonder featured series ‘Sissy That Psyche’ which takes a dive into past RuPal’s Drag Race episodes through the lens of a mental health perspective. Surely becoming fixtures for the Black queer community, both Matt and David have also stepped into the spotlight in the social media space as creators of content focused on debunking many taboos in the culture which include being in a healthy open relationship. Also in this episode, Same Mom Different Dads touch on some of the most talked about topics from Britney Spears’ memoir release, the sexual assault allegations against Dwight Howard, which holidays they rock with the most, and much more.

...Drum roll, please...Let's make some noise for our official 10th installment of the Same Mom DIfferent Dads Podcast! This definitely continues to be a learning and growing experience for both of us, and we thank y'all for tapping in with us and supporting something that we honestly didn't think would resonate with you guys so quickly! This episode we check in for a quick catch-up with some questions a few of you have asked in our anonymous NGL account. And while there's always trending news popping off, we discuss whether body count really matters, why Julian is upset that Twitter, aka X, is ending its Circles feature, and how Coty is ready to get into his social media BAG! Hosts: Julian B. & Coty Audio/Video Editor: B. Shields Logo: Justin Robinson

...And just like that, we are moving into a season of cuffing as we prepare for one of the more serious holidays that most gays and girlies look forward to all year. So not only are some of us out here looking to get cuffed pre-holidays, but Halloween is the one time of year when your costume holds no restrictions. While cuffing can possibly lead to all kinds of relationship-type of doings, i.e. Coty going through phones & whether Julian could consider a polyamorous love life, in this episode we discuss our favorite Halloween looks, scary movies, news of Pinkydoll fooling the internet, and we also get into ranking Brandy's albums!

The internet is without a doubt a WILD place. Access to too much information, or not the correct information can be a slippery slope.

We also answer a few questions from a few of y'all! Hosts: Julian B. & Coty Video Editor: B. Shields Logo: Justin Robinson

Sure we all go to work, but being gay AND Black or a person of color creates a unique experience. In episode 3, we take a dive into dynamics that come with the intersectionality we endure daily.
