Pride Ins & Outs ft. Our Resident Twink Billy Duke

Is TikTok Replacing the News? ft. Daniel Dana

This week, Matt is joined by creator, journalist, and Gen Me host Daniel Dana, who shares why he walked away from ABC News and Good Morning America to build a career on his own terms. They talk about Daniel’s surreal first interview with Vera Wang, learning by doing instead of waiting until you’re “ready,” the realities of becoming a creator, and why so many people feel stuck between a stable career and taking a leap. They also get into internet culture, the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama, growing up in Miami, constantly being mistaken for Hispanic, the weirdest trends Daniel has covered, and—somehow—his completely irrational fear of yogurt. Plus, they answer Scaries submissions about quitting your job without a plan, feeling embarrassed to post online, family members who don’t think content creation is a real career, and staying sane when TikTok makes the world feel like it’s ending.

Spilling All the Tea with Zachary Reality

Reality TV expert Zachary Reality joins The Scaries to break down everything happening in the world of reality television—from Love Island and Bachelor Nation to Bravo drama, behind-the-scenes tea, and the biggest stories on and off the screen. Matt and Zach discuss the future of The Bachelor, the Amanda & West fallout, the ethics of spilling reality TV gossip, and which shows are actually worth watching right now. Then they flip the script as Zach puts Matt in the hot seat to talk about his own reality TV experience, what viewers didn’t see, and his current love life.

He Matched with Dad on WHAT?!

Happy Father’s Day, Scaries. This week, Matt recaps Pride Month in NYC and shares his thoughts on Olivia Rodrigo’s new album before diving into some of the most unhinged listener submissions we’ve ever received. We’re talking accidental family encounters on dating apps, anonymous hookups gone horribly wrong, ankle bracelets in the bedroom, and the awkward reality of sleeping with someone only to end up at his wife’s bakery the very next day. Plus, a listener wonders if it’s too late to restart their life at 29, leading to a conversation about career pivots, taking risks, and why your timeline might not be as far behind as you think. Happy Father’s Day. This one is absolute chaos. 💀🌈🫡

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Came Out

For week two of our Pride Month series, Matt reflects on the first year since coming out and shares the five things he wishes someone had told him beforehand. From fears that never came true, to navigating dating, friendship, identity, and self-worth, this is an honest, vulnerable, and occasionally chaotic look at what life has actually been like on the other side of the closet. Whether you’re LGBTQ+, questioning, coming out later in life, or simply figuring out who you are, this episode is for you.
