Judson prepares to celebrate Pride in Albany just as Brian returns from Pride in West Hollywood. Judson declares the season High-Signal Summer after his signature brand of overt homosexuality attracts a new friend from across two streets. Brian spars with his second grader's teachers when they won't approve the book he plans to read to her class for Pride, and he is called out by his fifth grader for having Grindr on his phone. Judson appears on the second season of the documentary series Finding Fire Island. The Hookup of the Week finds our listener reuniting at a bathhouse with a favorite hookup from years past who happens to be a Daddy Bear Pornstar. Brian and Judson are then joined by global superstar - and a Grand Marshal of the 2026 New York City Pride March - Peppermint! An actress, singer, and comedian who rose to international fame on Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race and has become one of the most prominent voices in the fight for trans inclusion everywhere, Peppermint talks about the current barriers keeping trans people from living happy and healthy lives, why fighting for civil rights is a core part of her being, why she chose to audition for RuPaul's Drag Race, why her season wasn't appreciated at the time, the divisive Drag Race queen she admits is one of her favorites to tour with, and the extreme expense of drag competitions. She also details how she was required to audition for the role based on - and named for - her on Netflix's Survival of the Thickest, how she finds confidence through gratitude, her relationship with dating, what dating is like for trans women, and so much more. To close, Peppermint joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who joined a gay sports league in an effort to make friends, only to find his team unwelcoming and uninterested in camaraderie. He wants to know whether there is any hope of finding gay fellowship or whether he should prepare for a future full of impenetrable cliques.
