   Honestly, It's A Lot. Episode 7 Part Two: The Boy Who Lived

   Episode 7, Part 2 — The Boy Who Lived ⚡️ Every mystery has an answer. Every prophecy has a purpose. And after years of wondering why my body kept doing weird things, it was finally time to find mine. In Part 2 of The Premonition, we enter the Department of Mysteries as I search for answers through doctors, ER visits, tests, referrals, and more than a few people playing in my face. Along the way, we revisit some familiar storylines, rank my favorite witches, and finally uncover the answer to a mystery that started when I was a kid. I didn’t become The Boy Who Lived because I survived a killing curse. I became The Boy Who Lived because I learned how to live.

   Honestly, It's A Lot. Episode 7 Part 1: The Premonition

   Episode 7, Part 1: The Premonition For years, I thought I was collecting random stories. Migraines. Strep throat. An overachieving bladder. Strange symptoms that never seemed to fit together. Every doctor had another piece of the puzzle, but nobody could see the whole picture, including me. In Part 1 of this Harry Potter-inspired two-part finale, we dive into the Pensieve and revisit the memories that were quietly laying the foundation for a mystery decades in the making. Because sometimes the biggest plot twists aren't the ones you never saw coming. They're the ones that were hiding in plain sight all along. Episode 7 released on 7/7 because seven is the most powerful magical number, and honestly... how could I not?

   Honestly, It's A Lot. Bonus Episode 1: [P]eyton [M]arie [S]awyer

   In the very first Bonus Episode of Honestly, It’s A Lot, Greg dives into one of his favorite TV characters of all time. Peyton Sawyer from One Tree Hill. From the “emo cheerleader” label to the loneliness hiding underneath the surface, this episode explores what it feels like to be misunderstood by the people around you, reduced to one version of yourself, and judged by the loudest parts of your personality instead of the full picture. Because sometimes the Homecoming Queen is also the loner. Honestly… it’s a lot.

   Honestly, It's A Lot. Episode 5: Mean Gays (Part 1)

   Greg returns to the OKC gay sports league and immediately finds himself in a full mid-2000s rom-com pipeline: kickball drama, dodgeball glory, shady compliments, a Halloween costume that caused a stir, pet rocks, medical mysteries, and the slow creeping realization that not all mean girls wear pink: some wear cleats. Part 1 unpacks how a fresh start turned into a social maze of whispers, side-eyes, and unexpected emotional moments. The drama is real… but the story is just getting started.

   Honestly, It's A Lot. Episode 4: That's Rough, Buddy

   The boy who loves TV is back, and this time, he’s diving into Avatar: The Last Airbender to unpack something heavier than your average binge: family, shame, and reclaiming your own story. From softball dreams and basketball breakthroughs to the highs and heartbreaks of growing up gay in a chaotic family, Greg tells the story of how he went from Bad Luck Bubba to Good Luck Greg — all through the lens of his favorite Fire Nation prince, Zuko. Laugh, cry, and maybe even roll your eyes with him as he navigates sibling betrayals, identity crises, and the healing power of TV. This is an episode about reclaiming honor, rewriting your narrative, and learning that sometimes, you’re the hero of your own story. If you’ve got a story that’s funny, messy, emotional, or just too specific for your group chat, Greg wants to hear it. Pitch your story or find the pod on all streaming platforms — the chaos continues.

    Band-Aids Don’t Fix Bullet Holes

    In this episode, I dive deep into the emotional wounds we try to patch up with people who never learned how to show up. From Grey’s Anatomy scenes that hit too close to home, to real-life moments that made me question my worth, this one gets raw. We’re talking breakups, breadcrumb behavior, and the kind of “apologies” that show up mid-concert while Megan Thee Stallion is onstage. (Yes, that actually happened.) But this isn’t just a vent session—it’s about growth, reflection, and finally realizing that peace doesn’t come from avoiding conflict. It comes from choosing yourself, even when no one else does. If you’ve ever felt invisible in love, asked for the bare minimum and got blamed for it, or just needed someone to say “you’re not crazy”—this episode is for you. Because honestly? That was a lot.

    The Credits Still Didn't Roll...

    What do you get when you mix religious trauma, a stalker, an open relationship, and a gay campsite? Apparently… me. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on how I got here—emotionally, physically, and spiritually—through the lens of my first two major relationships. From the chaos of being catfished by my best friend to the heartbreak of losing a love I thought would last, I walk you through the mess, the magic, and the moments that led me to hit record on this podcast in the first place. It’s vulnerable. It’s funny. It’s unhinged. And just when you think it’s over… The credits still don’t roll...
