39 – Gay Sugar Daddy – Ludwig II of Bavaria


About the Episode

This week we celebrate one of the first gay icons, King Ludwig II of Bavaria.

Colin takes us on a magical trip back in time to Germany, while Sierra tries to hang on for dear life to this rainbow covered train that’s headed for the nearest castle. Join us as we talk about the world’s first poppers, a *maybe* gay composer, and how a child could one-up their parents.
