  • “Paint Nails. Punch Nazis. Pack Lunches.” – Redefining Dad Goals with Jonathan Greg

    “Paint Nails. Punch Nazis. Pack Lunches.” – Redefining Dad Goals with Jonathan Greg
    Jul 12 2025
    Can a Dutch braid dethrone toxic bro culture? Or is it just the gateway drug to glitter and justice?

    This week on Radical Joy, we braid truth, comedy, and combat boots with Jonathan Greg—a stand-up dad who smokes meat, styles ponytails, and isn’t afraid to throw hands at hate.

    🎯 From bottles of bourbon to braids and backlash, Jonathan proves modern masculinity comes with a side of sass and a perfectly winged eyeliner.
    💅 Manicures and masculinity: Why Jonathan says you can't spell "man" without "manicure"
    🤣 Hair today, hero tomorrow—how one dad’s braid battle with Miss Yolanda sparked a social media saga
    🍸 Bourbon, branding, and being very, very hungover with Terry Bradshaw
    👊 Paint nails, punch Nazis: the merch line, the mindset, the mic drop
    🎭 Stand-up to stand-out: how quitting acting led to 10k followers overnight
    🧃 Juice boxes and justice—Jonathan's take on toxic masculinity, toddler tantrums, and tender parenting
    🥄"Sometimes you just need to be the little spoon." (And maybe cry a little while grilling ribs.)
    🧠 Therapy, throwdowns, and that time he turned his feelings into fatherhood fuel
    🎙 A podcast in the making? Jonathan spills on maybe-might-be plans to bring his voice to the mic
    🔥 Lashes, labels, and low-stakes beef—what happens when your face goes viral for doing nothing
    If you’ve ever questioned whether masculinity can coexist with manicures—or wondered if your lawn looks better than your parenting—this episode’s your permission slip to grow out of the box you were handed.

    🎧 Hit play to laugh, unlearn, and maybe cry into your bourbon a little. Then send this to your favorite soft-hearted, steel-spined dad.

  • Radical Honesty, Romantic Math & the Case for Multiple Loves

    Radical Honesty, Romantic Math & the Case for Multiple Loves
    Jul 4 2025
    Ever feel like one person just can’t meet all your needs—and wonder if that makes you “too much”?
    This week, we wrap up Pride Month with our longtime friend Daniel Walker: polyamorous single dad, badass art photographer, and massage therapist turned labor union rep. We talk love, labels, and why polyamory isn’t just about sex—it’s about being real with yourself and everyone you care about.
    💅 Matching “paint nails & punch Nazis” tees? Yeah, we showed up ready.
    📸 What Daniel’s photography says about body, beauty, and being seen
    🧠 Why jealousy isn’t the enemy—it’s a message
    🚩 The phrase “you made me feel this way” and other red flags
    💬 What’s an anchor partner? And why it’s not the same as “the one”
    👻 How ghosting your own needs can wreck any relationship
    🧾 Romantic accounting—it’s a thing, and yes, it sounds exhausting
    🧡 Emotional connection over sex: the demisexual download
    📞 “Do you have 8 minutes?” The friend check-in phrase we swear by

    Polyamory is less about multiple partners and more about radical honesty, emotional growth, and boundaries that actually work.

    🎧 If this episode cracked something open for you, share it with a friend, leave us a review, or tag us on socials—we’d love to hear what resonated. And don’t forget to grab your Radical Joy sticker when you send us that 5-star screenshot!

  • 💟 Wobbly & Wild The Violet Thread of Pride

    💟 Wobbly & Wild The Violet Thread of Pride
    Jun 28 2025
    On this day, 56 years ago, the Stonewall Inn uprising ignited a movement.

    Sparked by a police raid and fueled by decades of oppression, queer folks—many of them trans women of color—fought back and lit the fire of LGBTQ+ resistance that still burns today. In honor of that courageous stand, we’re releasing the final two episodes of our Pride series.

    These stories aren’t just celebration—they’re remembrance, reflection, and a call to keep showing up.

    More about the Stonewall Riots.

    Check out the Stonewall Inn Today!

    Wikipedia says

    So… Anticipation or anxiety? Depends on the shoes you wear to the dance. 💃🏽🟣 In this whimsical, wise finale, James gives us a front-row seat to the emotional seesaw of waiting—where one side says “what if” and the other says “let’s go!” From feathered metaphors (yes, again) to bike ramps, bravery, and birds that just won’t quit, we explore the thin line between dread and dream. It’s about choosing to show up, even with shaky wings. It’s about trusting that what’s ahead could be gorgeous—not grim. Violet reminds us that worry is a pigeon, but anticipation? She’s a peacock.
    So fluff your feathers, pick your path, and lean into the lovely unknown. 💟🕊️

    🎧 Listen now and fall wildly in love with the future.
