Mylo and Friends: The Podcast is a bold, unfiltered look at friendships, self-awareness, and life through the lens of a dynamic voice in the LGBTQ+ community, and his diverse guests. Hosted by Mylo Draven the podcast blends humor, real talk, and cultural commentary to spark honest conversations around hot topics, personal growth, and the world we live in.
Mylo Draven: Recovering Addict, Bag Collector, Disappointed Optimist | Ep 62
In this solo episode, Mylo sits center couch and introduces himself properly to new listeners (hey y’all!). He covers his history as a recovering meth addict, including multiple relapses, a suicide attempt, and the antidepressant that he says saved his life.
Mylo’s message: if nobody tells you, he is on your side.
Along the way Mylo talks about why crossbody bags do not work on a 44-inch frame, the man makeup routine that keeps him looking rested, and a run-in involving a security guard trailing a dark-skinned friend through a shoe store. Coincidentally this leads into his core philosophy: he would rather be a disappointed optimist than a happy pessimist.
This episode is for anyone who is new to the show and wants to know who Mylo actually is, and for anyone who needs a reminder that they are not the only person going through something hard.

Sir, Please Buy a Briefcase | Ep 62 ft Robin McCoy
Robin McCoy is still here, and Mylo has receipts. There's the listing agent who wouldn't touch her commission while the seller brought $30K to closing, the 78-year-old laying her own carpet to pass FHA, and an insurance binder that should take one click but took four days, five people, and a CEO (walk into a bar…).
Then the rate shopper who magically found 6.375 overnight gets schooled: rate is ego, payment is reality. Mylo gets real about the one file in hundreds that never cleared, and why lenders now want proof of everything.
And yes, a former NFL star really did walk into Wells Fargo with Hefty bags full of cash. Sir.

Your Doctor Should Be Younger Than You (and Other Robin McCoy Rules) | Ep 61
Realtor to the stars Robin McCoy pulls up, and Mylo started without her because that's how these two operate. Before anyone says hello we've got a toothless college roommate, a bowling alley steak (medium well, because God is diabolical), and a very specific kind of hookup Robin is not willing to die for.
Then the wig comes off. Robin's mom is 90, bedridden, 500 books deep, and officially out of money. Robin spills what senior care really costs in Texas, why most seniors are malnourished, and the day insurance tried to send her mom home while Robin sat in a salon chair with foils in her hair.
Also on the menu: why your primary care doctor should be younger than you, why the solar salesman knocking on Grandma's door needs to keep walking, and the Mrs. Roper Beer Crawl in Denton. Muumuu mandatory.
