Hi, we’re Bret & Owen! Thank you for sitting on our Wet Bench!


It's the third episode! We're STILL trying to help you get to know us this time; this is the final part to our three-part opener! Take a seat as we take a journey to get to know the only other one of our co-hosts, the northern fruit himself, Owen! Learn about his passion for Ariana Grande's music and how communities ruin fandom, gay media and a passion for LGBTQ+ rights alongside his extensive Monster High collection and what it means to him.


Thank you for joining us on this journey so far, it’s been amazing to work on this together and has been a wonderful little project for us as a couple. Though we set out to introduce ourselves, that did not happen. Instead, we discussed literally anything else.


CW: This episode contains conversations about homophobia and teenage sexual assault. These conversations are particularly towards the tail end of the episode, from the fifty minute mark onwards. It consists of a story Owen tells about an experience he had in high school with a bully who groped him and the fall out of that situation, plus some retrospective insights. As always, the conversation is sprinkled with other topics throughout, but it is strongly a reccurring topic from minutes fifty to the end of the episode.


For future episodes do glance back here every episode to check if the next episode includes content warnings so you can enjoy our show in a way that is best for you.


Bret & Owen ~ xoxo
