Bubba's Banter

In this episode, I open up about my real experiences dating men who are still struggling with their sexuality — not out of judgment, but reflection.It’s not about denying bisexuality; it’s about unpacking what it feels like to love someone who wants you in private but can’t claim you in public. We talk about heteronormativity, curiosity, and how so many men still don’t have the space to explore who they are without shame.🎧 Listen to the full podcast: https://linktr.ee/bubbasbanter📸 Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/therealdrdre🎙️ Follow the podcast: https://instagram.com/bubbasbanterpodcast#podcast #BlackGayMen #DatingWhileGay #BisexualMen #podcast #masculinity #bubbasbanter #identity #lgbtqpodcast #storytime #healingjourney #selfreflection #ModernDating #Bisexuality #blackpodcasters intro cred: @Yhuntermusic

this episode, I’m breaking down desirability—who gets to be seen as attractive, valued, and wanted… and who doesn’t. From beauty standards to dating apps, to the unspoken rules around race, body type, and masculinity, desirability plays a huge role in how we move through relationships and the world.Let’s talk about why certain people are always “the standard,” who gets overlooked, and how this shapes not only dating but our self-worth and community.If you’ve ever questioned why attraction feels political, this episode is for you.✦ Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations that keep it real.COME BANTER WITH ME!! chapters:00:00 – Intro03:20 – so desirability...07:07 –What We’re Really Talking About 09:01 – Why It Matters 11:25 – The Price of Admission14:18 - Attraction vs. Desirability 18:41- flipping the script!🔔 Subscribe to the channel and follow me on social media:Instagram: /@ bubbasbanterpodcast Facebook: / bubbasbanter. where the Audio resides: https://linktr.ee/bubbasbanterintro cred: ‪@Yhuntermusic‬

#podcast #joeyswoll #sydneysweeney #podcastingToday, we’re unpacking two chaotic moments in pop culture and media:First up—Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad and that not-so-clever play on “good jeans” vs. “good genes.” We’re talking about the racial undertones, beauty standards, and why certain marketing teams clearly don’t have a single Black person in the room. Is it just tone-deaf branding, or does it reveal how whiteness is still centered in “all-American” narratives?Then we get into Joey Swoll, who went from gym positivity advocate to “I’m done apologizing” real quick after posting a tribute to Hulk Hogan—yes, the one with a whole racist past—and then doubled down by calling Black folks “colored.” You cannot make this up.This episode has layers: race, branding, cultural gaslighting, influencer audacity—and of course, we’re gonna laugh through it too.✨ Pull up for the banter, stay for the truth.

When my straight homeboy asked me why gay men are obsessed with hyper-masculine dudes, it got me thinking… are we just attracted to them or trying to be them?In this episode, I break down what I call The Straight Man Aesthetic from Carhartt jackets to blue-collar cosplay.

In this episode, I respond to a viral interview on the *Other People’s Lives* podcast where a Black man opens up about his desire for race play — and how he finds it more intense when he feels like his white partners are *actually* racist.As a Black gay man, I had to unpack this — not to judge, but to reflect on how trauma, identity, desire, and race collide in ways that are uncomfortable… but very real. From the psychology of eroticized pain to the legacy of being fetishized, this is one of my most raw and honest episodes yet.🎧 Full podcast available on Spotify, Apple, and everywhere else you listen.👇🏾 CHAPTERS:00:00 – intro Clip from Other People’s Lives 05:25 – Clip from Other People’s Lives 06:43 – Race Play vs Real Racism 08:15 – Race Play is not new nor is it ok! 10:35 – The Psychology of Eroticizing Trauma 12:51 – Desire and Feeling Unseen 15:41 – But The Feeling Unseen Is Impactful 18:20 –Lets Talk About White Validation20:56 – Consent Isn’t Context-Free📌 Like, comment, and subscribe if you’re here for real conversation.

#podcast #podcasting #intrusivethoughts #hottopics #diddy #tsmadison #makeitmakesense This week on Bubba’s Banter, we’re diving into three powerful headlines at the intersection of Blackness, queerness, and accountability.Khalen Saunders is launching an LGBTQIA+ inclusive youth football camp — a bold move in the NFL world. Is this what real allyship looks like, or just a start?Then we celebrate TS Madison, who opened The Starter House, a reentry home for formerly incarcerated Black trans women, on Trans Day of Visibility. A real example of community care and legacy in action.Finally, we dig into Terrence Howard’s recent viral interview — including allegations of sexual advances from male producers, and his refusal to play gay roles to “protect his man card.” We’re unpacking the toxic masculinity and homophobia wrapped up in respectability politics.This one’s layered, necessary, and unapologetically real.
