Episode description

"Gary, I want you to know that I really appreciate what you've done for me. You've been a true friend."

In honor of Mike "McBeardo" McPadden, the wives are joined by Wes Allen of the 'Why Did We Ever Meet?' podcast (and the father of BJ & H$'s niece and nephew) to talk about the super intense yet progressive drama disguised as a teen sex-comedy, THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN (1982). Misunderstood upon release, the three make the case for a reappraisal and argue this is the kind of movie the LGBTQ+ community can embrace.
