Hey kids, consider this your little Trigger Warning snack while we’re on hiatus between Season 1 and Season 2 — a messy, mouthy, mildly unhinged taste of the chaos you’ve been missing.

It’s me, Adam “Meat Hammer” Klesh, serving up a compilation of our favorite triggers from the podcast so far: pet peeves, nightlife nonsense, social media drama, bad manners, big opinions, and the kind of zero safe space energy you’ve come to expect from Trigger Warning Podcast.

If you like your podcasts gay, funny, uncensored, inappropriate, chaotic, and just a little bit rude, congratulations — you found your people. This episode is a quick hit of attitude, laughs, and lovingly offensive commentary to hold you over until the real madness returns.

Like, subscribe, comment, clutch your pearls, and please try not to block the subway doors on your way out.

Trigger Warning Season 2 will be back with brand-new episodes Thursday, September 9th. See ya then.

We made it!

It’s our Season Finale of Trigger Warning, and I’m closing it out with Daniel LIVE from the Ice Palace in Fire Island — so yes, it’s chaotic from the jump.

We get into sobriety updates, NYC nightlife nonsense, the ally T‑shirt “transition” misunderstanding, and some very unserious underwear‑party behavior before things get unexpectedly deep.

Then the super talented and adorable Brian J. Smith (Sense8, The Matrix Resurrections) and powerhouse agent Bill Veloric join us to talk Hollywood typecasting, Juilliard showcase politics, and how agents actually build sustainable careers in this industry.

We dive into Brian’s directorial debut documentary, A House Is Not a Disco, all about Fire Island Pines, queer history, and what happens when iconic LGBTQ spaces evolve (or implode).

We also get real about indie film distribution, controlling your own revenue, and why the film is streaming on GATHR (no “E”) https://gathr.com/vod/69affd7f/a-house-is-not-a-disco.

It’s Fire Island meets Hollywood - a season finale as befits Trigger Warning

So technically… this episode should have come before LAST WEEK’S episode, but in true Trigger Warning fashion, we got it completely reversed. (Well, “Josh, fix it in post did”)

Did we record things out of order? Yes.
Did we realize it after the fact? Also yes.
Are we pretending it was conceptual? Absolutely.

Consider this the pregame to the chaos you already heard.

Berlin is taking over the Ice Palace — and I have thoughts.

In this episode, Daniel and I dive into Berlin nightlife, Berghain lore, NYC vs. Berlin energy, and why Berlin club culture just hits differently. We’re talking sweaty dance floors, zero‑frills promotion, biking through morning petrichor like a European philosopher, and the full debauchery of the legendary Pferdemarkt party.

I share my Berlin memories, the cultural rituals, and why Berghain’s size and infamous door policy aren’t about exclusivity — they’re about preservation. Daniel breaks down the origin story of Berghain from the Ostgut days, why Boris is playing the Ice Palace tonight, and how his friendship with Boris (and longtime Berghain doorman Misha) ties back to queer nightlife history.

Naturally, we spiral into Berlin biking culture, flâneur energy, AppleCare disasters, renter’s insurance drama (shoutout Lemonade), hallway furniture politics, and the reality of accidental adulting.

If you’ve ever debated Berlin vs. NYC nightlife, wondered what makes Berghain iconic, or just enjoy cultural chaos before a dance floor takeover — this one’s for you.

Berlin. Bikes. Boris.
And apparently… backwards episode sequencing.
