Dirty Little Pond

Episode 3: You Can Rest Now

For decades, Jaydee Frandsen lived as “John Jay” — a well-known radio personality, husband, father, and public figure. In this episode of the Dirty Little Pond Podcast, Jaydee opens up about growing up transgender before the internet, hiding her identity for most of her life, and finally reaching a place where she feels comfortable in her own skin. Corey, Larry, and Jaydee talk honestly about fear, misunderstanding, family, identity, addiction, public perception, and what happens when people finally stop pretending to be someone they’re not. It’s funny at times, uncomfortable at times, and unexpectedly human throughout. Dirty Little Pond Podcast email@dirtylittlepond.com

Episode 2 - Where the F* is Corey?

Corey disappeared. No explanation. No goodbye. Just gone. In this episode, Corey finally shares what really happened—from addiction and nearly dying, to losing everything, to finding purpose on the other side. It’s real, it’s uncomfortable, and at times… It’s actually pretty funny. Also, somehow we end up talking about AI, smart beds, and whether you should ever upload your poop to ChatGPT. Welcome to the Dirty Little Pond.

Episode 1: The Reunion
