Kenny has lived in Philadelphia now for over 13 years. He grew up in South Jersey and always knew he would end up in Philly. He's been working for his current company for 18 years and that's what finally bought him home. Almost eight years ago he lost his best friend and his mom to a rare form of cancer and that changed his life. He found passion in helping others through fitness and has been teaching spin class for over six years teaching at both City Fitness and Equinox. If he's not at work or in a spin studio, you can find him playing Stonewall Sports or boppin around the Gayborhood which he's figured out a way to become the 'mayor' as his friends call him.

Lex and Linda have been together for a little over two years and are about to celebrate their one year wedding anniversary. They're all about music, movies, and travel, whether its jamming to their favorite tunes, binge-watching movies, or planning their next adventure. The age gap doesn't even faze them - it's all about their connection and fun that they share. Every day feels like a new chapter, filled with laughter and spontaneous trips. We had a blast chatting with these two lovely people!

Episode 16 is a conversation with our friend Eddie, who was born on the island of Puerto Rico and moved to Bucks County with his mom and sister as a toddler where he was raised in a small town with Philly grit! When he is not slinging craft cocktails behind the stick or building his mobile bartending business from the ground up, he's training in Muay Thai boxing, our bike riding, thrift-flipping, nurturing his array of plants and being of service to the local LGBTQ+ community. Happy cat dad of two gray tabbies who feels that two is two many and a thousand is never enough. You won't want to miss the episode!
