What if everything you thought about disabled bodies and sexuality was dead wrong? In this raw and radically honest episode, Daniel and Fred get intimately real with photographer Robert Andy Coombs, a Yale MFA powerhouse whose provocative self-portraits explore the erotic, emotional, and unapologetically sexual side of queer disabled life.
Robert doesn’t just pose, he seduces, challenges, and redefines what sexy means. Together, we dive deep into care-work as foreplay, navigating desire with dependence, and how disabled bodies aren’t just desirable, They’re Effin' iconic.
Learn about the seductive power of vulnerability and trust, why disabled people make damn good lovers, turning carework into connection—and sometimes kink, breaking taboos around pleasure, touch, and representation & making art that turns you on and makes you think
This isn’t about inspiration—it’s about liberation. It’s hot. It’s honest. And it’s time.

A deaf/blind hispanic Tiktoker and social media advocate, SAMU has a massive following 1 million followers on Tiktok and 60k on Instagram. They frequently use their platform to boost causes' traction, educate able bodied audiences on the effects of policy, and strengthen the disabled community on social media.
Freaque is for the derelicts, the heretics, the tree stumps, and those who live on the fringes of society. A tattered voice, made of strung out words, hung to dry over broken chords on his mother’s piano. “Decompose" was created in his childhood dining room, on the piano he played for 11 years before a spinal cord injury took away his hands. In a wooden womb of darkness, he took what he had and rose above a society that constantly tells us we are not enough, that we’re only worth the possessions we own, the money in our bank accounts, and our body's abilities. We do not have to conform to societal standards to be valued as human beings. That is why he creates music and art.
His music is used as the soundtrack for A Cripple’s Dance. It ranges from stripped down blues and dirt-folk off of his EP “Decompose", to groovy, swampy, singles like “How Are You Not Freaking Out” and “Patience”. He touches on subjects of sexuality, grief, anger, climate change, political and corporate corruption, and uses them to weave a story about life with a Spinal Cord Injury.
