8. Progression & Growth: Lessons from Past Relationships (57:33–61:08)

9. Industry Bias, Representation, and Owning Your Brand (54:12–56:19)
- The group vents about industry stereotypes pigeonholing Black, queer, and sex-positive creators:
“All you can make is a fucking vibrator? …I was so gagged.” (54:58, Weezy) "But y'all ain't ringing my bell. Why y’all only want a certain type of gay person, you know what I'm saying?" (56:19, Dustin)
