Welcome to the first episode of Coming Out Creatives Podcast (known as COC Pod) from Coming Out Creatives Studio.

In this episode, Jordan and Jayvon discuss why the hell they started a podcast, why Chappell Roan hates parents, how Cowboy Carter is American Propaganda, why Anora is the and sexwork at work should be separated like being a severed employee at Lumon in the show Severance. Because if we want to have consensual sex after work and sell it online after work hours, then we should be able to keep our corporate job. Also, how the White Lotus shows us that we do not live in a reality where justice is served for the wrongdoings of others and how the 1% will always protect their own similar to how they are going after the death penalty for Luigi Mangione.

We decided not to let our perfectionism become the thing that holds us back from reaching our true potential and can’t wait to share more projects with you in the future. Jordan plans on exploring sexual health topics and Jayvon will bring you all the tea on the latest entertainment. Don't worry, we won’t try to do a Jesus movie like A24.

See you next week.
