Bawdy Storytelling – Episode 76: “PigBoy” (Mitch Mitchell)

Podcast: Bawdy Storytelling | Host: Dixie De La Tour
Release Date: May 29, 2019

Episode Overview

This episode centers around a hilariously honest, sex-positive, and ultimately affirming story from trans queer comedian and storyteller Mitch Mitchell. Mitch shares their first experience having sex with a cis man — a kink scene with a self-identified “pig boy” — blended with reflections on their own complex journey of coming out, identity, embracing queer joy, and the oddities of online hook-ups. The episode is punctuated by musical numbers from Rachel Lark and sprinkled with the show's trademark irreverence and warmth.

Main Story: “PigBoy” by Mitch Mitchell

[09:57–21:02]

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Meeting PigBoy: An Offbeat Hookup

• Mitch sets the scene: muddy boots, rainy day, heading to a gentrified part of Capitol Hill in Seattle to meet “PigBoy,” a stranger from Grindr who’s working on an unfinished apartment.
• “I get to unit A. We had a special knock, because it’s like this, but less echoey. And I feel the door kind of push open just slightly ajar... I look down and see a naked man on all fours with a butt plug way up his ass and looking down at my muddy shoes. And he immediately starts licking the mud off. And that was the first time I’d ever met PigBoy outside of the Internet.”
  — Mitch Mitchell, [11:22]

Coming Out, Queerness, and Family Comedy

• Mitch reflects on their multiple “coming out” experiences:
  1. As a lesbian — with their parents actually telling Mitch first.
  2. As a transgender man.
     • “If you could turn those woos into cash, feel free. Just a suggestion.”
       — Mitch Mitchell, [12:52]
  3. As a queer man — which caused some entertaining confusion.
     • “They were a little confused. They were like, but you were like a lesbian before, so you still like women, but now you like men, but you still have your parts, but you have the testosterone. And I was like, it's fine. I'm just queer. I just like everybody. It's ok.”
       — Mitch Mitchell, [14:10]

The Scene: Dominance, Humor, and Learning On the Fly

• The encounter is playful, awkward, and infused with self-aware humor:
  • Mitch shows up wearing a large strap-on (“like a Coke can”).
  • PigBoy follows instructions, licking boots, and calls Mitch “sir.”
  • Mitch improvises domination: “I’m straight up like, I say, I don't know. What do you want? He’s like, well, you’re supposed to tell me, sir. I was like, okay, fine.”
    — Mitch Mitchell, [15:31]
  • Attempts rope bondage after a few YouTube tutorials (with mixed success).
    • “I always thought it was... I’d be way better at it. Like, yeah, tying it up, you know? But I was just like, is this okay? Like, oh, your wrist is turning blue. I should probably loosen that.”
      — Mitch Mitchell, [17:25]
  • Comedic observations about sex with men:
    • “You know how dudes are. It's just like that. It's like a ghost falls out of their body, and then they're done.”
      — Mitch Mitchell, [19:35]
  • Ends with an absurdly elaborate humiliation: making PigBoy learn to juggle oranges from a YouTube tutorial.
    • “If you’re a dom, make your sub learn how to juggle. It is humiliating and degrading for both parties.”
      — Mitch Mitchell, [20:19]

Emotional Resonance

• Despite the irreverence, Mitch’s story is deeply affirming — a celebration of queer experimentation, self-acceptance, and the freedom to not have it all together.
• Audience responds with laughter and appreciation throughout.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Have you ever gone to a job interview and you're like, I am not qualified for this job, but I really need the money. That's... that... get on Grindr.”
  — Mitch Mitchell, [14:23]
• “Slap my ass. So I slap his ass, and then he’s like, you know, pull my hair. And I’m like, you’re balding, man. Like, there’s no hair to pull, you know? That’s... it’s just the truth.”
  — Mitch Mitchell, [18:49]
• “That was my first time with a dude. Thank you so much. I have a treasure.”
  — Mitch Mitchell, [20:55]

Intro Song: "Eight Miles Wide" ([00:47])
"Born This Way" (Sex Ed Parody): [21:02–26:02]

  • “Most people have two parents, but I seem to have three. Who’s my daddy? Who is my mom? What does biological mean? And who’s this new guy tomorrow?”
    — Rachel Lark, [22:16]
  • “Don’t you frown when your mom began to crown. Every single guy in town wish that he had gotten down.”

  • “Sometimes it's hard to talk to strangers. So if you were one of those people in that park, thank you for coming up and saying hi to me. Especially if I'm the woman standing in the middle of the park crying. Cause you really made my birthday this year. Thank you.”
