Oh, we went there. All the way there.
This week Mylo and Ben are dripping in sweat (literally — the studio AC was giving zero cooperation) and absolutely zero chill as they dish on gym culture, sexual health, and the big cheating debate that almost broke a friend group over the weekend.
It starts cute: Ben is in his fitness era, Mylo is clocking hotties at BOP hour (yes, that's a real thing — after 8PM when all the hot, broke people show up).
Then it gets real. Mylo tells the story of Robert — a guy he was seeing in his 20s who turned out to be HIV positive and never said a word. Robert's defense? "Why didn't you ask?" And honestly... that sparked a whole conversation about the gap between how the gay community approaches sexual health testing versus how straight people are out here just... not.
And then there's the accountability conversation: if you're gonna forgive, you actually have to forgive. No beatdowns. No scorekeeping. Just the work.
This one's layered. Funny, honest, a little scandalous, and surprisingly healing. Pull up.
