Thank you Art. Your guest Cole was down to earth and I hope does not lose the qualities that make him who he is as a person. I do thank you for bringing the guests and sharing the content. Please keep bringing them to your channel. Tell Cole thank you for being a good guest.
Another home run Art. All your guests have contributed to the podcasts with interesting, entertaining, and insightful info. Kuddos to you for your hosting talent. 😊❤
Always great being here on Monday evening ❤ it was a fun episode of you and Kole ! He is a very sweet and cute guy ! Also nicee you bumped in to each other in La and that there’s now such a good friendship 🥰
Art, I say it over and over: you're such a splendid interviewer. You make the guys come out so well. Your empathy, curiosity, warmth, respect, honesty, it all makes the interviewee feel safe to be open and real. Please, never stop. It helps that all the people you interview are so terribly handsome.
Really love this guy’s perspective. I grew up in a culture almost 30 years earlier than him, and though I didn’t have a problem with other people’s sexuality I didn’t accept it for myself until quite late (ten years older than he is now) and didn’t like the word “coming out” because I saw it as making a big something about something that societally I didn’t feel should be a big deal for anyone. But I was afraid to do that myself, largely over the social stigma and even the sense that it could risk my career ambitions or cause people to label me. Slightly hypocritical on my part I know, since I bought into the social stigma even though I didn’t think it should be a big deal at all. Once I finally did, I did it in a very organic way, like Cole here, where I might have just told my parents (who by then probably wondered why I never had a romantic relationship with anyone) by saying I was dating someone who happened to be a guy. I did this separately with each of my parents in a casual setting like a meal out with them or a walk together. They were extremely accepting and supportive. With friends it was more like meeting up and letting them see that I was in a special relationship with a guy, and basically every single friend was extremely supportive and even happy for me. I had also already decided before then, that if someone didn’t accept me for who I was and over something that to me was as irrelevant as my sexual preference, I didn’t need them in my life. The first and to some degree only person I “came out” in a way to was also quite spontaneous and driven by fair intentions on my part. I was driving a young lady home in Manhattan after a dinner with a lot of friends, and I didn’t really know her that well, but it became clear during the dinner and then in the car that she was into me. And I did like her… just not that way… and I had what was at the time a “secret” relationship with a guy a bit older than me who lived on another continent but we moved in some similar circles… so I told her that I was very flattered and did like her a lot… but I was dating someone. So she said, “Oh, you have a girlfriend” to which I answered, “Well, actually it’s a guy I met on my last trip to France.” (I was living in New York as she knew). To which she replied with no judgment “Oh, so you’re gay?” To which I answered, “Yes, I am pretty sure I am.” I felt with the interest she was showing, it was only fair to tell her, not to make a sort of an arbitrary rejection to her advances and also not make it seem perhaps to her that I was leading her on when I didn’t have that kind of interest. We are closest of friends to this day, and I’m so grateful to her that she readily pivoted from seeking something romantic with me after I shared my “secret” that I felt she was great but I was into guys. This whole experience for me was 20 years ago now, and I’m so happy to see that younger people today with feelings I had are able to liberate themselves a bit more easily and to talk about them as well, at least earlier in their lives, since it’s never easy, than I did. Amazing channel you have here. You get the best guests and I bet you help a lot of people to build the confidence to be their true selves.
You're right, that was a terrible hug, do it again ... and again, slower now. Wait, one more!!! But really, Art, the hugs looked wonderful. You have the most adorable guests in your bed. Another great interview!
I found out I was something different when I was 11 as I had a girlfriend in my town and a boyfriend in another town. At that time I didn't know about infidelity and the term bi did not exist. So what was I? My boyfriend knew about my girlfriend but my girlfriend did not know about him. Anyway when I was young I had some relationships. I had my last relationship at 24 with a lesbian couple then bi because of me. The thing is that I have been alone for so long. I'm confused by today's on-line dating scene. Well great interview and cool video Art! 🏳️🌈
I always feel like the only gay/bi male that’s never been on Grindr. I admire y’all’s confidence and courage, because it’s not something I could ever bring myself to do. Like if I knew I wouldn’t be judged, walk away with some type of feelings, or risk disease, I’ll be about it lol
Kole is the employee that every manger in fast food dreams of. Very interesting guy and some very interesting stories, the youth of today are so fluid that some old timers can't understand or won't. I say ....Be You and Enjoy Life, for it only comes around Once.
Kole seems like a very pleasant guy who would be fun to be around. I wouldn't have known he was from the south just from hearing him speak. I assume that it is especially difficult being bi or gay growing up in the south. But Kole seems to have navigated the experience well. I hope that he can find someone to have a long-term relationship with, if that is what he is looking for. Good interview, Art. 👍👍👍👍👍
2 cute naughty verse elves unwind after a long hard day of work, spilling tea and chugging pumpkin spiced eggnog. Then they snuggle - platonically I watched the Wild Boys recent vid, And like why is it all these starved DL daddies wanting twinks??? where are the sons, nephews, cousins, grandpas, uncles, step bros, random bottom jocks/punks/bullies/teachers that should be getting some of the action?
Dating a girl 4 years does not make one bi ! I'm also from a very conservative place and straight, bi, gay is the usual progression for guys that are gay...
Cole: "They were the hateful kind of Christians." Is there any other kind? [Edit]: I can't believe I watched the entire 38 minutes of this video. I found Cole's personality engaging, and Art was very skillful in getting him to open up.

The most moving quote is King David's on the death of Jonathan : " My love for you was great, surpassing the love of women."
