This Podcast Is Problematic With Archer

Archer

Welcome to This Podcast Is Problematic with Archer and no, this is NOT a rebrand, and it’s definitely not a brand-safe podcast.

Life is messy, adulthood is confusing, relationships are complicated, work can be exhausting, family can be A LOT, money comes and goes, and sometimes you just need somewhere to sit down, laugh, vent, tell a story, and say the things you probably shouldn’t say out loud.

On Problematic with Archie, you’ll get real conversations, story times, opinions, personal experiences, random thoughts, talking about financial struggles, work life, family drama, friendships, dating, relationships, social media, everyday life, personal growth, and everything in between. Some episodes might be funny and completely unhinged. Others might get serious, vulnerable, or way too real.

And yes… there will also be some political takes and controversial conversations because apparently I enjoy making things a little more problematic.

My Encounters With BI/DL Men & Gloryholes
Send us your problematic mail Lady listeners this one might not be for you. This episode is EXPLICIT, unfiltered, and a little controversial. We’re talking about something many people might be curious about but don’t always discuss openly: GLORY HOLES! 👀🍆 Why do some gay men, bisexual men, and curious DL (down-low) men visit glory holes? Is it about sexual pleasure, curiosity, anonymity, or exploring experiences with other men behind closed doors? I’m sharing my thoughts on the culture surrounding glory holes, the unexpected encounters, the funny moments, and why these experiences can sometimes be exciting but also intimidating or downright scary! 😂😳 From exploring sexuality to anonymous hookups, we’re getting into the realities of what some men do when nobody’s watching. We’re laughing, keeping it real, and having conversations that people might whisper about but rarely discuss openly. BUT HOLD ON… BECAUSE WE’RE NOT DONE! 👀🔥 Toward the end of the episode, the conversation takes a controversial turn as I discuss PrEP, LGBTQ+ healthcare, and the ongoing debates surrounding gender identity. I share my personal opinions and perspective on gender, including my belief that there are two genders. I know this subject can spark strong reactions, and not everyone will agree with me. I’m sharing my viewpoint as part of an honest conversation about topics that continue to generate debate.

Your Depression Is Not My Problem
Send us your problematic mail In this episode, I’m getting personal and talking about where I’m at in life right now. Have I figured everything out? Absolutely not. Am I still going through things? Of course. But the difference is that I’m finally at peace with myself, and I feel better than I have in a long time. It took a lot for me to get here, and I refuse to let anyone or anything take away the happiness, confidence, and peace I’ve worked so hard to find. I’m looking good, feeling great, and stepping into a version of myself that knows his worth. I’m done letting people make me feel less than, question my value, or break my spirit. At this point in my life, I know what I want, I know what I deserve, and I’m not going backward for anybody. PERIOD. 💅 But that’s not all we’re talking about! 💇‍♂️ THE HAIR UPDATE: My hair journey is still ongoing, and unfortunately, I’m still dealing with hair loss. I’m trying different methods to encourage regrowth and prevent further hair loss, and I’m sharing where things stand right now. It’s a process, but I’m not giving up on finding something that works for me. 😒 ARE YOU DEPRESSED, OR ARE YOU STUCK IN A CYCLE? We’re getting into the conversation about negativity, isolation, and how living the same routine every day can affect your outlook on life. When all you do is go to work, come home, sleep, and repeat, it’s easy to feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle. I’m talking about a friend of mine who seems to be caught in that pattern and why I believe that sometimes we have to take responsibility for changing our circumstances instead of allowing ourselves to stay in the same place. Now, let’s be clear: depression is real, and it’s not always something you can simply snap out of. But I do believe that finding support, making small changes, and giving yourself something to look forward to can make a difference. And, of course, there’s MORE! We’re talking life, personal growth, protecting your peace, confidence, and learning that you don’t have to explain yourself to everybody. Sometimes the biggest glow-up isn’t about your appearance. It’s about reaching a point where the things that used to destroy you no longer have the same power over you. I’m still a work in progress, but I’m no longer the person I used to be. And if you thought you could break my spirit, think again. Welcome to another episode of Problematic with Archie, where we get personal, get messy, speak our minds, and say what other people are afraid to say. 🔥 👇 LET’S TALK IN THE COMMENTS! Have you ever reached a point in your life where you finally felt at peace with yourself? And do you believe people can get so comfortable in their routines that they stop living their lives? LIKE, COMMENT, AND SUBSCRIBE for more unfiltered conversations, personal stories, controversial opinions, and everything in between! 🎧 Listen, watch, and join the conversation. #ProblematicWithArchie #PersonalGrowth #ProtectYourPeace #SelfLove #LifeUpdate #HairLossJourney #MentalHealthAwareness #GlowUp #LifeInYour30s #Podcast

My Grindr Explorations
Send us your problematic mail Welcome back to This Podcast Is Problematic With Archer — and this episode has a little bit of everything. 🎃 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN First, we’re kicking off my 31 Days of Halloween movie marathon! I’m talking about the horror movies I’ll be watching throughout October, the classics, the slashers, the sequels, the remakes, and all the ridiculous horror that comes with trying to watch a Halloween movie every single day. 🔪🎬 💉 KRISTA PIKE & THE TWO LETHAL INJECTIONS Then I get into the bizarre and disturbing story of Krista Pike and the circumstances surrounding her surviving two lethal-injection attempts. It’s one of those stories that sounds unbelievable, and I’m breaking down what caught my attention about it. 🔥 GRINDR, VALIDATION & RELATIONSHIPS Then we get messy. 😂 I talk about being on Grindr, looking for validation, and why I keep attracting people who aren’t necessarily the type of people I’m attracted to. I talk about wanting to be seen with somebody who is “cool,” somebody who counts, and the realization that I shouldn’t settle just because someone wants me. Do I actually want a relationship? Sometimes I do. Sometimes I absolutely don’t. But if I eventually get into one, I already know what I want: someone who feels like my best friend first and my boyfriend second. I don’t want to force something just because I don’t want to be alone. 👀 THE CORNELL SEVEN & FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA SUPPORT I also get into the Cornell Seven and the reaction happening across social media. There has been a lot of public support, but I question how much of that support is genuine and how much of it is people posting because they want likes, views, engagement, or attention. 🧠 ANXIETY, LIFE & WHAT COMES NEXT Finally, I get more personal. I talk about my anxiety, some things that have been happening in my life, and some concerns that have me wondering if I might potentially be getting sick again. I’m trying to stay optimistic and hopeful that everything is okay while I deal with everything happening behind the scenes. There are also some things happening in my life that I’m not ready to fully explain yet. Once I get everything settled, I’ll be talking about everything in a full episode. 🎥 NOVEMBER 8TH IS THE START OF THE VIDEO PODCAST. That’s when This Podcast Is Problematic With Archer officially moves into the full video version, and I’ll be ready to tell a lot more of the story. Until then… 🎃 Watch your horror movies. 💀 Stay problematic. 🍿 Grab your popcorn. 🔥 And remember — I’m probably going to say something you don’t agree with.

Honey Packs And Hooking Up With “Straight Men”
Send us your problematic mail I’M GOING FULL VIDEO NOVEMBER 8TH… AND THIS EPISODE GETS MESSY. 😳🔥 Problematic With Archie is going FULL VIDEO on November 8th, and before we get there, I’m giving you one of my most personal, chaotic, and unfiltered episodes yet. We’re starting with the hair update. Back in August, I started using the Cesso spray, so where am I now? Am I seeing progress, or am I still losing hair every damn day? 😭 I’m giving you the honest update on where my hair is TODAY. Then we get into a life and home update—what’s been happening behind the scenes, what’s been going on at home, and where I’m currently at in life. And then we get into one of my biggest pet peeves: CRINGE. 😂 Why do I hate when people record themselves crying and then post it on social media? Is it vulnerability, or is it attention-seeking? Let’s talk about it. Then we get into VICTIM MENTALITY. I’m talking about a girl I’ll call Sasha—code name, obviously. 👀 We’re talking about her very, VERY pick-me behavior, how she constantly positions herself as the victim, and what happens when those behaviors start becoming part of the example you set for your own children. And THEN… The second half gets DRUNK. 🍸😂 I go out on a Thursday night, meet some straight men, and get into those awkward-but-fun situations where you already know the intentions are there. We’re talking flirting, little makeout moments, reading the room, and the chaos that happens when alcohol gets involved. And yes… THE HONEY PACKS. 👀🔥 I’m talking about how trying them completely changed my sexual confidence and had me questioning whether I’m really as passive/submissive as I thought I was. This episode has hair loss, home-life drama, cringe social media behavior, victim mentality, pick-me energy, straight men, drunk nights out, makeout sessions, and honey packs. Basically… everything you probably shouldn’t discuss in one podcast episode. FULL VIDEO PODCAST DROPS NOVEMBER 8TH. Subscribe, turn on notifications, and welcome to Problematic With Archie—where the conversations are messy, personal, and absolutely unfiltered. #ProblematicWithArchie #FullVideoPodcast #November8 #VictimMentality #PickMe #StraightMen #HoneyPacks #HairUpdate #LifeUpdate #MessyConversations #Podcast #LGBTQPodcast

The Crashout Episode: Part 1
Send us your problematic mail We hit 1,000 downloads… so why the hell am I not celebrating?! 😂 Instead, I’m crashing out. In this short but completely unhinged episode, I’m spiraling over Instagram hiding following counts, trying to figure out what the hell I’m doing with my life, questioning the future of this podcast, and wondering why I’m talking to multiple people when I don’t even know what the hell I want. Do I want a relationship? Do I want to be alone? Do I want somebody? Do I want everybody to leave me the hell alone?! Apparently, the answer is all of the above. I get real about loneliness, insecurity, needing attention, being way too dependent on having someone to talk to, and the constant battle between wanting love and wanting my damn independence. And just when I thought I was already spiraling enough, one of my exes decided to come back into the picture… just to follow me, unfollow me, and then BLOCK me. Naturally, this sent me into another spiral. 💀 So yes, Episode 20 is short. Yes, I’m all over the place. Yes, I’m questioning literally everything. But honestly? Maybe that’s exactly what this episode was supposed to be. 🎙️ Problematic — messy conversations, real stories, and absolutely no shortage of chaos.

Flies. Pizza. Political drama. Failed dating. Friendship regrets. What the fuck happened this weekend?! 😭 #Chicago #PizzaGate #FlyGate #DatingDrama #FriendshipDrama #ProblematicPodcast #Storytime

My Experience W/ Obsessed GHOSTFACE Fans Stalking Scream Movie Production Problematic Episode 18
Send us your problematic mail In this episode, I am officially CRASHING OUT over my hair. 😭 I tried a high-end, name-brand sea salt spray, and somehow I ended up feeling like my hair was falling out. Was it the product? Was it me? Am I being dramatic? Either way, I am spiraling. Then we get into the absolutely chaotic story about two men—a gay couple, if you will—who allegedly stopped production of Scream 6 two years ago, and somehow this conversation goes everywhere except where it was supposed to go. This episode is basically a collection of random thoughts, chaotic conversations, life updates, and me trying to figure out what the hell I’m doing next. I also talk about the future of the podcast. Sometimes I get overwhelmed. Sometimes I have absolutely zero motivation to record. Sometimes I question what direction I even want to take this thing. But after everything, one thing remains clear: the podcast must continue. So here we are—hair drama, Scream chaos, random thoughts, future plans, and me trying to figure it all out one episode at a time. What happens when being a Scream fan goes WAY too far? 👀 In this episode, I’m telling the story of my run-in with two allegedly obsessed Ghostface fans and the wild situation surrounding the Scream 6 production. We’re talking stalking, obsession, Ghostface, and fans who allegedly took their love for the franchise to a completely different level. And yes… this sounds like something straight out of a Scream movie. Was this fandom taken too far? Were these people just hardcore fans, or did the obsession cross a serious line? Let’s get into the story, the chaos, and my personal experience with it all. 🔪👻 Note: This video discusses allegations and personal recollections; it is not intended to establish criminal guilt beyond what has been publicly documented.

I Asked God for Help And He Sent Me An Illuminati Guy. Problematic Episode 17
Send us your problematic mail Depression B**** A** almost got me again. Once again I get vulnerable and cry but that’s part of being human or whatever that one broad says Where I’m At in Life Right Now In this episode, I’m getting real, vulnerable, and probably more emotional than I expected to be. I’m talking about where I am in life right now—the good, the bad, the confusing, and everything in between. I open up about work, finances, my social life, family, and the things that have been weighing on me behind the scenes. I talk about dating again, going on dates, meeting people, and realizing that just because you can date doesn’t mean you necessarily should. I’m learning that I’d rather be alone and at peace than settle for someone just because I don’t want to be alone. I also talk about losing an old friend and the emotions that come with looking back at people and moments from your past. This episode gets extremely personal, and yes—I cry. There are things I’ve been holding in, and this was one of those moments where I needed to let them out. But I also remind myself that life isn’t always going to feel this heavy. Sometimes you have to sit with the uncomfortable moments, figure out what you actually want, and give yourself permission to not have everything figured out. And finally, we’re getting into something else that has been bothering me: people outside of the situation involving themselves in family matters when they don’t actually know what is happening behind closed doors. Whether they’re regular outsiders or family members who don’t live in the house, sometimes you need to mind your business. You can’t create narratives about a family, repeat things that aren’t true, and act like you know the full story when you’re nowhere near the situation. This is probably one of my most vulnerable episodes yet. No pretending everything is perfect. No pretending I have all the answers. Just me talking about where I am, what I’m experiencing, what I’m learning, and trying to figure out what comes next.

I Got Cancelled At Lollapalooza For Not Being “WOKE”
Send us your problematic mail Lollapalooza was absolute chaos… and I have A LOT to say. From awkward conversations about pronouns, to heated discussions over abortion, to dealing with some of the rudest people I ran into all weekend, this festival had me questioning whether people have completely lost their minds. Don’t worry though—I still had an incredible time, and I’m breaking down everything that happened, the good, the bad, and the moments that had me rolling my eyes. And somehow, we also end up talking about my love life… or lack of one. Am I finally ready to date again? Maybe. Then again, I really enjoy my peace, my freedom, and not having to explain myself to anyone. Dating sounds great… until I actually have to give someone my time. If you’re easily offended, this episode probably isn’t for you. These are my experiences, my opinions, and my unfiltered take on everything that went down. Love it, hate it, argue in the comments—I know you will.

Episode 15: How To Lose 3 Guys In 10 Days
Send us your problematic mail No… this isn’t a dating guide. It’s the story of what happened when I thought I was ready to date again. In this episode, I talk about putting myself back out there, meeting a few people, and genuinely trying to build a connection. But the more dates I went on, the more I realized I wasn’t looking for a relationship—I was looking for peace. Sometimes we think we need someone else when what we really need is ourselves. We’re talking about learning to enjoy your own company, taking yourself out, finding happiness without depending on someone else, and asking yourself one important question: When you’re alone, do you actually love the person you’re with? I also want to say something to the people I met and then never texted back. I’m sorry. It was never my intention to waste your time, lead you on, or disappear. I truly appreciated the time you gave me, but I realized I needed to step away and spend that time reconnecting with myself. That wasn’t about you—it was about where I am in my life. This episode is about choosing yourself without guilt, protecting your peace, and realizing that being single isn’t something to fix. Sometimes the best relationship you’ll ever build is the one you have with yourself. So if you’ve ever questioned whether you’re actually ready to date—or if you’re just learning how to love your own company—this one’s for you.

Another Solo Episode… My Co-Host Is Officially Useless (Bonus Episode)
Send us your problematic mail This week, we’re addressing the elephant in the room: my co-host is getting on every last nerve. At this point, I’m accepting applications because the performance review is… not looking good. Is she actually getting fired? Probably not. Am I going to drag her for the next hour? Absolutely. We’re also breaking down festival etiquette—because some of y’all clearly weren’t raised right. If you’re pushing through crowds, ruining everyone’s vibe, or treating the festival like it’s your personal kingdom, we’re talking about you. And because life loves a plot twist, we’re looking back at the relationship that crashed and burned seven years ago. The anniversary is here, the memories are resurfacing, and we’re asking the important question: was it heartbreak… or was I just dating someone who should’ve stayed a stranger? It’s shady, it’s messy, it’s petty, and somebody’s feelings are definitely getting hurt. Grab a drink and join the chaos.

Episode 12: The Vulnerable Episode
Send us your problematic mail First things first I’m the realest. Second.. Any outside family hearing this for the first time may I add.. I wanna make this clear. You don’t know our lives and what is going on. So can I say Respectfully…. F*** off. We are good we are great and by the power of the real god Jesus Christ we can over come all….. This vulnerable episode of Problematic (Episode 12), the host, Archie, provides a raw and honest update on the challenges he is currently facing in his personal life and with his podcast. Key highlights from the episode: •Podcast Frustrations: Archie expresses deep frustration with his co-host, Sam, regarding her lack of consistency, poor communication, and refusal to record in-person (2:09 - 8:44). He emphasizes how much work he is putting into the setup for their upcoming live show on August 3rd. •Personal Struggles: Archie opens up about his financial stress, including the burden of a mortgage and family dynamics (15:27 - 21:08). He also discusses his declining health, weight gain, and his struggle with aging as he approaches 40 (9:04 - 12:02). •The "Cancelation" Context: Archie reflects on the controversy surrounding his social media posts during the Super Bowl (12:23 - 15:07). He addresses being "canceled" for supporting Kid Rock and Gabby Barrett instead of Bad Bunny, and explains why he plans to attend the Sueños Festival regardless of the potential backlash. •Accountability: He takes a moment to apologize to Claire for disparaging comments he made about her in a previous episode to satisfy Bobby (26:04 - 28:58). He admits he was chasing a dramatic story and regrets his actions. •Gratitude: Despite the "chaotic" year, Archie expresses heartfelt gratitude to his listeners for hitting 250 downloads and for the continued support on his various platforms (29:10 - 30:23). I get into being “canceled” and why I’m still pulling up to the same festival in a few weeks, knowing the energy might not be welcoming. Because avoiding it isn’t my style. I also address the tension behind the scenes—having a co-host who isn’t showing up, not putting in the effort, and leaving me to carry something we built together. All I’m asking for is time and consistency… and I’m not getting it. There’s accountability in this episode too. I take a moment to apologize for something I said previously—owning what’s mine, while still standing on what I believe. This is about growth, frustration, honesty, and figuring out where I’m headed next—even when things feel uneven. No filters. Just the truth.
