Brief Talk Podcast by Underwear News Briefs

In this episode of Brief Talk, I sit down once again with Paul Williams-Ferns, founder of Dante 7 Underwear, along with three of his models — Will, Jamie, and Leigh — for a conversation that goes far beyond fabric and photography. What started as a follow-up about his brand launch quickly turned into an honest discussion about vulnerability, confidence, masculinity, and the unexpected bonds formed during a shoot. Paul shares why he intentionally chose everyday men over influencers or OnlyFans models, looking instead for personality, depth, and even vulnerability. He explains how building Dante 7 is about more than underwear — it’s about art, philosophy, storytelling, and creating a sense of belonging. We talk about what it takes to prepare first-time models for such an exposed experience, especially in a social media world that can be both empowering and brutal. Will opens up about battling self-doubt and how stepping in front of the camera helped rebuild his confidence after personal loss. Jamie talks about turning 40 and deciding to take chances instead of living with regret, and how modeling has reignited something in him creatively. Leigh shares his perspective as the straight guy in a gay-centered brand and how quickly orientation became irrelevant when it came down to camaraderie, laughter, and mutual support. We also dig into the reality of modeling — the physical strain of holding poses, the mental exhaustion of long shoot days, and the discipline behind getting the perfect shot. Paul discusses the importance of premium fabrics, sustainability, and why he wanted honest feedback from the guys before ever wearing the product himself. At its core, this episode is about stepping outside your comfort zone, supporting each other, and finding confidence in unexpected places. It’s a reminder that sometimes the boldest move you can make is simply saying yes. ⸻ Guest Links Will Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willjboys_2 Jamie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeofjimjamipt Leigh Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dante7leigh/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dante7leigh Paul Williams-Ferns Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulwilliamsferns Dante 7 Underwear Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dante7underwear ⸻ Support UNB For ongoing support, join our Patreon: www.patreon.com/unbblog You can now join for free.

Dante In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, UNB Tim sits down with Paul, founder and designer of the upcoming luxury underwear brand Dante Seven. What starts as a conversation about launching a new brand quickly turns into a deep dive into art, literature, religion, shame, sexuality, and the power of storytelling in men’s underwear. Paul shares his journey from corporate digital marketing into fashion, how working behind the scenes for a major underwear brand pushed him toward creating something of his own, and why he felt compelled to design a brand that speaks to older men, diverse bodies, and lived experience—rather than chasing trends or OnlyFans aesthetics. Inspired by Dante’s Inferno, sculpture, religious iconography, and the Seven Deadly Sins, Dante Seven is built as a fully immersive, premium experience. Paul walks through the philosophy behind the brand’s three launch collections—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—the creation of the Gabriel Collection, and how sins are reimagined as affirming, empowering traits rather than sources of shame. The conversation also explores community building, chosen family, transparency in manufacturing, and why storytelling matters more than hype. Paul opens up about his background, his motivation for creating a Founder’s Circle, and his vision for underwear as art, identity, and connection. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in underwear culture, independent brands, creative risk-taking, and building something meaningful in a crowded space. Topics Covered • From corporate marketing to launching an underwear brand • Creative burnout and choosing a new path • Why Dante’s Inferno inspired Dante Seven • The Seven Deadly Sins as empowerment, not shame • Using religion and iconography to challenge norms • Luxury branding vs. price-driven underwear • Designing for older men and real bodies • Founder’s Circle and community-first branding • Transparency in production and pre-order launches • Fetish, subtle sexuality, and cinematic storytelling • Why underwear culture thrives on connection Guest Links • Website: https://www.dante7.com • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dante7underwear ⸻ Support UNB • For ongoing support join our Patreon – www.patreon.com/unbblog (You can now join for free) • For one-time support visit our support page – https://www.underwearnewsbriefs.com/about/support-unb/ (Donate via Ko-fi or PayPal) • Or buy from the UNB Store – www.unbstore.com • Gift us something from our wish list – https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/KCJXCDDPU0LI?ref_=wl_share • Buy Amoresy – https://amoresy.com/UNBTIM • Buy BodyAware – https://bodyaware.com?bg_ref=7FgHF6QR1x • Buy Xdress – https://xdress.com?bg_ref=cG6ohBdgUO • Buy Real Men – https://www.rmac.store/TIM77812 Find Out More • Read more at unbblog.com • Follow UNB on • Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/unbblog • Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/unbblog • Reddit – https://www.reddit.com/r/unbstoreandblog/ Follow Tim • Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/unbtim • Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/unbtim • Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/unbtim • BlueSky – https://bsky.app/profile/unbtim.bsky.social • Spandex Party – https://spandexparty.com/unbtim Send feedback or questions to feedback@brieftalkpodcast.com

Jock also shares behind-the-scenes details about selling out collections faster than expected, navigating inspiration respectfully, and why small brands thrive when authenticity and passion lead the way.

Brief Talk Podcast – Featuring JD from BearThreads This week on the Brief Talk Podcast, Tim sits down with JD, founder of BearThreads, a swimwear brand designed to celebrate bigger bodies, confidence, and self-expression—without compromise. JD shares the personal journey that led him to launch BearThreads, born out of frustration with how traditional swimwear is graded for larger waists but not real bodies. What started as a mission to create better-fitting shorts evolved into bold, body-positive swim briefs that center comfort, fit, and—yes—the pouch. The conversation dives deep into why pouch design matters, how BearThreads balances showcasing without exaggeration, and why men of all sizes deserve swimwear that makes them feel confident and seen. JD and Tim also talk openly about masculinity, body image, American swimwear culture, and the freedom that comes from wearing what you actually want—not what society says you should. They explore: Why most swimwear flattens instead of celebrates The difference between Speedos made for competition and fashion swim briefs Why confidence—not body type—is the key to pulling off bold swimwear Mini briefs vs. classic cuts and how different styles change proportions How swim briefs can spark connection, conversation, and community Giving yourself permission to wear what you love, at any size JD also shares advice for guys who are curious about swim briefs but hesitant to try them, encouraging listeners to stop negotiating with themselves and start choosing what truly makes them feel good. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in swimwear, confidence, masculinity, or redefining how men show up—at the beach, the pool, and in their own bodies.

Brief Talk Podcast — Brief Tale with Jason (“Plays Both Sides”) In this episode of Brief Talk, Tim sits down with Jason—known online as Plays Both Sides—for an open, honest, and refreshingly candid conversation about underwear, masculinity, sexuality, and self-expression. Jason is a straight guy who discovered thongs, jockstraps, and cheeky underwear later in life—and never looked back. What began as curiosity turned into confidence, community, and a full-on underwear lifestyle. Together, Tim and Jason unpack what it really means to feel sexy, why underwear doesn’t define sexuality, and how exploring personal style can unlock self-acceptance, better health, and deeper connections with others. Episode Highlights • Jason’s late-in-life discovery of thongs and jocks after years of wearing boxer briefs • The moment he realized underwear could make him feel sexy, not just be functional • How curiosity turned into collecting, researching brands, and engaging with the underwear community • Why underwear choice has nothing to do with sexual orientation • Navigating underwear exploration while in a long-term straight relationship • Support, openness, and humor from Jason’s girlfriend—and where she draws the line • Finding confidence, motivation, and improved health through feeling good in what you wear • The surprising role of Jason’s gay brother and the Houston leather and kink community in his journey • From Reddit friendships to in-person meetups—and even being gifted a bag of underwear • Favorite brands, styles, colors, and the move from thongs into classic jockstraps • Curiosity about lingerie, lace, corsets, and pushing past traditional ideas of masculinity • Why more straight men are openly embracing underwear, jocks, and swimwear today • Advice for guys who are curious but hesitant: try it—your underwear doesn’t define you Why This Episode Matters This conversation breaks down outdated ideas around masculinity and underwear. Jason’s story shows that exploring what makes you feel good—whether that’s thongs, jocks, or lingerie—is about confidence, not labels. It’s about doing something for yourself and finding community along the way.

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, Tim sits down with Sam, the founder of SB Swimwear, to talk about his lifelong love of Speedos, how CrossFit helped spark a viral moment, and what led him to launch his own swimwear brand—designed and manufactured in Italy. Born and raised in Italy, Sam grew up wearing Speedos as the norm, from childhood beach days to swimming workouts. That early comfort carried into adulthood, CrossFit training, and eventually competition—where a Speedo-only workout in Miami went viral and helped grow his Instagram following. From there, the idea for SB Swimwear was born. Sam shares how he worked closely with an Italian manufacturer in Tuscany, leaned on family support, and refined a classic swim brief cut designed to work just as well for swimming laps as it does for beach lounging. The result is a clean, confident design launched first in red, followed by white and blue—colors that nod to both his Italian roots and American identity. The conversation also dives into: • Why Speedos are more functional than board shorts • How body confidence develops over time • Wearing swim briefs beyond the beach (including competitions and hiking) • Customer reactions from around the world • The slow cultural shift toward swim briefs making a comeback • Advice for guys who want to wear Speedos but feel hesitant Sam also opens up about what success looks like for him—not just sales, but seeing customers feel more confident in their own skin. If you’ve ever thought about wearing a swim brief, designing your own gear, or challenging outdated ideas around masculinity and swimwear, this episode is for you.

In this lively and candid episode, UNB Tim sits down with Tim Wildman, founder of WildmanT, to discuss the evolution of his brand and how he became the go-to creator of big-pouch underwear. The conversation dives into how the Big Dick Underwear Company was born, how marketing restrictions shaped the brand’s voice, the challenges of producing in the U.S., and the surprising demographics of his customer base. The two Tims explore the rise of pouch-focused underwear, being copied by competitors, the unexpected popularity of thongs among straight men, and the growth of the modified/pumpers community that helped shape WildmanT’s Monster Cock line. The episode also touches on social media censorship, customer needs, limited-edition drops, and upcoming product ideas like leggings and swim thongs. Funny, brutally honest, and packed with insider industry insights, this episode highlights the importance of solving real problems for real men—and the sometimes wild world of men’s underwear design. ⸻ Takeaways Brand Origins & Strategy • WildmanT started in 2009 with novelty items but pivoted after consistent copying and marketing limitations. • When ads weren’t allowed, he turned keywords into his main advertising strategy—using language big brands couldn’t. • Search terms like “big dick underwear” became a goldmine because buyers were already looking for exactly that. Building a Unique Market • WildmanT intentionally targeted underserved men in middle America who struggled with comfort in standard underwear. • His brand became one of the first fully dedicated “big pouch” companies, not just a single product line. Challenges of Social Media & E-Commerce • Platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Amazon routinely flag men’s underwear images regardless of compliance. • Even mannequin photos are often rejected, forcing the use of “ghost” product shots. • Automated content moderation is inconsistent, making it difficult for underwear brands to operate normally online. Product Evolution • Customer demand continually pushed for bigger pouches—today’s “Big Boy” is nearly double its original size. • The Monster Cock pouch was born from needs of the modified/pumpers community. • Limited editions (Halloween, upcoming Santa brief) sell out immediately and won’t be reproduced. Manufacturing Philosophy • All WildmanT products are made in Fort Lauderdale, FL, which increases costs but maintains quality and control. • The team is exploring leggings, but pricing and production costs remain a barrier. • Swimwear thongs may return soon. Customer Insights • 60–70% of WildmanT customers are straight men seeking comfort solutions. • Doctors who perform implants and scrotal enhancement surgeries recommend WildmanT to patients. • Big dick underwear isn’t just about vanity—many buyers struggle with long-term comfort and mobility issues. Industry Commentary • Copycat designs are rampant in the underwear market. • Smaller brands often lose out when competing companies mass-produce their ideas. • Despite growing acceptance, men’s underwear is still difficult to market due to censorship and social taboos. ⸻ Sound Bites • “My raunchy mouth is what made me the king of big dick underwear.” • “People searched for big dick problems—but nobody marketed to them until I did.” • “There are things out there bigger than I ever thought possible.” • “If you’re hard, you should probably take your underwear off and start fucking.” • “I make everything in the U.S. because I want perfection—and oversight.” • “Some people buy my underwear not because they need it, but because it makes them feel good.” • “Everything I make is designed for support and comfort first. Fun comes second.” • “Many of my customers have spent 20, 30, sometimes 40 years trying to find underwear that finally fits.” • “The Monster Cock pouch was created because the modified community needed an off-the-shelf solution.” • “I can’t hide from my Southern family what I do—they see the site and think it’s wild.” Links: Store –  www.wildmant.com Social Twitter – https://x.com/BigBoyPouch YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/wildmantonline Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/wildmantim Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/wildmantonline NOTE – if reading this after the show has dropped, sometimes the account gets deleted by the social media site.  Support UNB For on going support join our Patreon – www.patreon.com/unbblog You can now Join for free.  For one time support  visit our support page – https://www.underwearnewsbriefs.com/about/support-unb/ You can donate by Ko-fi or Paypal  Or buy from the UNB Store – www.unbstore.com  Gift us something from our wish list – https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/KCJXCDDPU0LI?ref_=wl_share  Buy Amoresy – https://amoresy.com/UNBTIM Buy BodyAware – https://bodyaware.com?bg_ref=7FgHF6QR1x Buy Xdress – https://xdress.com?bg_ref=cG6ohBdgUO Buy Real Men – https://www.rmac.store/TIM77812 Find out More  Read more at unbblog.com Follow unb on Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/unbblog Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/unbblog Reddit – https://www.reddit.com/r/unbstoreandblog/ Follow Tim Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/unbtim Instagrm – https://www.instagram.com/unbtim Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/unbtim BlueSky – https://bsky.app/profile/unbtim.bsky.social Spandex Party – https://spandexparty.com/unbtim Send Feedback/questions to feedback@brieftalkpodcast.com

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, hosts UNB Tim, Erik, and Andy discuss the cultural perceptions surrounding thongs and body image. They explore the myths that thongs are only for those with perfect bodies, the impact of social media on body positivity, and the role of brands in promoting inclusivity. The conversation emphasizes the importance of embracing diversity in body types and encourages listeners to wear what makes them feel confident, regardless of societal standards. The hosts also share personal experiences and insights on overcoming negative comments and fostering a supportive community. Takeaways Thongs are often associated with ideal body types due to media representation. Social media has helped normalize diverse body types wearing thongs. It’s important to embrace and celebrate different body shapes and sizes. Brands that promote inclusivity are more likely to gain support from consumers. Wearing a thong can significantly boost self-confidence. Negative comments about body image should be ignored and blocked. Community support is crucial for encouraging body positivity. Real-world connections can enhance online relationships within the community. Everyone should feel empowered to wear what makes them happy. The thrill of wearing sexy underwear can diminish over time, but the confidence remains.
