Presented by Out.com / Out Magazine
Out Loud & Laughing is a hilarious, heartfelt, and unapologetic podcast hosted by queer cousins Bryan Ruiz and Jon Ruiz. Bringing their distinct comedic chemistry and shared family history to the mic, Bryan and Jon offer a fresh, unfiltered look at life, love, relationships, and everything in between. Through a sharp comedic lens, they dive headfirst into today's hot topics, essential life lessons, and the messy, beautiful highs and lows of growing up queer.
Hosted by two proud queer cousins, our show uses laughter as a compass to navigate navigating identity, culture, and the unique challenges of the LGBTQ+ experience. Together with equalpride—the ultimate home for LGBTQ+ media—we are on a mission to build a community where identity and humor intersect. We’re here to inspire bold self-expression, deep connection, and plenty of side-splitting laughs.
With laughter as their guide, Bryan and Jon create a welcoming space that fosters connection, self-expression, and pure, unapologetic joy. Whether you are tuning in for the wild stories, the sharp humor, the deep relatability, or a mix of all three, this is the show that celebrates living life as your truest, most authentic self—out loud and laughing.
