I Got SCAMMED at Coachella… Then Ran the Boston Marathon

Answering the Questions I've Been Avoiding (Part 2)

The questions keep getting worse, so naturally we’re doing a Part 2. This week I’m answering more of your questions, including whether I’d ever start an OnlyFans, addressing the rumors about my shlong, and the biggest differences between dating men and dating women. I also rank some of NYC’s most overrated and underrated spots and share a few opinions that will probably get me into trouble. No guest. No filter. Just me continuing to answer the questions I probably should’ve ignored.

Comparing Wieners with TJ Dinch

This week Matt is joined by TJ Dinch from Southern Hospitality for a chaotic episode covering everything from reality TV drama to… wieners. TJ spills all the tea on the latest season, what’s ahead for the finale, and what it’s actually like filming reality television. The two also tease Matt’s appearance this season and debate who the better kisser is: Justin or Michols. Plus: hookup horror stories, stopping sex to protect a Duolingo streak (before discovering TJ has no idea what Duolingo even is), and the Charleston gay dating scene. The episode ends with a brutal round of “Wiener or Loser,” where TJ rates his cast mates live on the spot.

Gay Trauma & DMs from Troye Sivan

This week starts with Matt getting a DM from Troye Sivan… and somehow spirals into a full breakdown on the long-term effects of growing up queer. From people pleasing and chasing unavailable people to body dysmorphia, validation seeking, perfectionism, and “Perfect Boy Syndrome” — the pressure many queer men feel to be attractive, successful, likable, emotionally easy, and constantly impressive just to feel worthy. Matt opens up about the survival tactics many queer men develop growing up, how lying for self-protection can make authenticity feel unfamiliar, and what it actually looks like to unlearn behaviors that once kept you safe.

I Got SCAMMED at Coachella… Then Ran the Boston Marathon

This week on The Scaries: a long overdue life update episode. Matt recaps his first ever Coachella experience, including the ticket scam situation that spiraled into one of the most viral videos he’s ever posted — plus all the behind-the-scenes chaos that came with it. Then it’s straight from the desert to Boston Marathon weekend, reflecting on one year since coming out to his parents, what personal growth actually looks like, and why the real definition of a PR has nothing to do with finish times. The episode closes with one of the happiest moments yet: officiating his best friend’s wedding and bringing a plus one to a wedding for the very first time.

Our WORST Hook Up Stories EVER ft. Joey Camasta

This week on The Scaries, Matt is joined by comedian, podcaster, and social media personality Joey Camasta (aka best friend of Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi) for one of the most unhinged episodes to date. They dive into their absolute WORST hookup stories — from chaotic run-ins with Häagen-Dazs delivery drivers to Matt’s infamous “bathroom wall incident” after a questionable dinner decision. It’s messy, it’s graphic (in the storytelling sense), and it’s exactly what you’d expect from two people who have zero business oversharing this much. They also get into the realities of dog parenting (and why it weirdly feels like having a terminally ill child… in theory), Amish culture and Rumspringa fantasies, and a bunch of other completely unfiltered tangents. Safe to say… this is one of the wildest episodes in The Scaries history.
