I loved Beekman Boys on The Amazing Race from the moment I saw Josh synchronised swimming whilst wearing his glasses.

He was pushing goat soap at one time - not a goat soap consumer. Another time I believe he had pot holders made from old rags and pieces of goat. Very goat centered - I built a wall of distrust because of all the goats.

He got a distribution deal for his adorned goat fat at Target, got acquired, and is rolling in it.

Has anyone read his memoir: "I Am Not Myself These Days?" It's a "darkly funny memoir of a young New Yorker's daring dual life—advertising art director by day, glitter-dripping drag queen by night." Loved it. It was hard to see him as a goat farmer married to a doctor after reading it. Such debauchery.

He's 55. Surprisingly, Dr. Brent is only 51 but aging in dog years, apparently.

Yes indeed, those occupations are at far opposite ends of the spectrum. Totally incongruous and unexpected.

That damned book ruined this place when he hijacked it to market it. Then he fucked off once he was done with it. In fairness, he seemed like a decent sort as an individual, but the shamelessness of the sales platforming was a shitty thing to do, if impressive as a piece of opportunism.

He's a bit of a mess and ballsy to boot. I've interacted with him before, and he's a fun person. He didn't get where he's at by being a wall flower.

They used to retail a wide range of lifestyle stuff... it looked like the strategy was Martha Stewart with cock rings, but now it's exclusively goat based skin care. I wonder they stock based on stage of life, "I don't need another Ikebana vase but these liver spots could use something..."

I'm trying to remember the pathetic suck ups who drank his bathwater after the novel was published. They were the vile part. There was the rabid toady Zak, I think, and the inventor of the humble brag, Mizez Slocombe (like all versions 1.0 she didn't invent a very good version of it), who also made a fool of herself breathlessly driving the DL Wikipedia entry.... I always recall her running back and forth between her and Wiki, repeating her latest additions. So needy. And then Wikiepdians slaughtered it. I mean, talk about embarrassing, cut down to nothing by Wikipedians. Those days were entertaining, at least, but DL as marketing platform changed the site significantly, not for the better. Maybe there's a novel in that.

That lunatic soap fan Justin used DL’s Myspace page to communicate off DL with posters, including Josh, and would get these people to trash each other.
Somehow, Justin’s unrequited love/mortal enemy Daniel Bexton got access to Justin’s email account. And when Justin wouldn’t stop bothering Bexton, Bexton put his correspondence with Justin, and Justin’s correspondence with other DL posters, into this Blog (see the link; “Bill” is Justin).
Bexton announced he would post Justin’s correspondence with DL posters on the blog, using pseudonyms. Suddenly, Josh stepped up and offered to donate money in Bexton’s name to the charity of his choice if he stopped.
This all happened around the time Josh’s book was published, so I always assumed Josh must have emailed some really cunty things about other DL posters to Justin.
I have never forgotten this because it’s so deranged, and so 2004 in how it unfolded, involving blogs, message boards and Myspace.

He’s friends with the really fat girl from The Facts of Life, the jolly one that got raped in a Charlie Chaplin costume.

Josh was basically harmless, I never really understood why you bitches turned on him like you did.
Now, his mendacious pal Frey was a different story. A nasty piece of work.

I’m terminally single so I guess I don’t understand relationships because their reality show (he and his husband) was just the two of them constantly bickering and being mean to each other from what I saw. But their whole brand now is about being so nice and they call everyone “neighbor” and are beloved in their town as living saints.

Even when Josh was trashed and depressed he always had a healthy work ethic. He might have looked like shit and unable to form a coherent sentence but he showed up, whether it was at the agency or in the clubs as Aqua. So I isn't surprised to read that he was able to sell the Beekman 1802 business for $92M a few years back. I never watched the show but when I saw this thread I reread "I Am Not Myself These Days." I'd forgotten how good it was,(even if it's semi-fictional).
