It's Part 2 with Brock McGillis, former Canadian pro hockey player and LGBTQ+ advocate for an unforgettable conversation that blends trauma, advocacy, fashion, and heart.
Po'l opens up about surviving a violent hate crime—backstage at his own fashion show, inside a church. The attacker, literally named Jesus, screamed homophobic slurs as he beat him. What followed was a 5-year legal battle to have it properly charged as a hate crime. Pol' fought relentlessly—confronting a dismissive DA, yelling in court, and demanding justice. His voice became a symbol of empowerment for victims who feel invisible.
Brock relates to the trauma, sharing how his advocacy journey began after experiencing his own struggles as a closeted athlete. He now tours hockey teams and corporations across North America—shifting culture through empathy, vulnerability, and honest conversations. He shares how his approach—what he calls breaking hockey drag—is opening minds and hearts in unexpected places.
We dive into toxic masculinity, safe spaces, and empathy, reflecting on how trauma doesn’t end with the event—it stays with you. Pol' admits he still can’t sit with his back to a door. Brock, meanwhile, has helped thousands of athletes and executives see life through a more human lens.
Then it’s time for laughs, fashion, and hot topics:
- Captain America couture disasters 👎
- Colman Domingo’s Critics Choice leather trench = 🔥
- Could Canada become the 51st U.S. state?
- And Brock’s luxury Cartier proposal story that channels Elizabeth Taylor-level romance (and gaslighting)
Pol' finishes Brock's coffee reading that gets real, fast. A past love resurfaces—someone Brock once dated while closeted. Now, he yearns for a deeper friendship with them. There’s also a clear message: a career-changing opportunity is already in motion—Brock just needs to say yes.
A stunning twist? The letter "C" literally appears at the bottom of the coffee cup—symbolizing a family member who has never fully accepted Brock for who he is. The reading leaves Brock stunned and emotional.
Finally, things get spicy. The trio gets real about sexting, nudes, public sexcapades at The Eagle in New Orleans, and why Pol' refuses to send nude pics—even though Patrik definitely does.
This episode is a wild ride of truth, laughter, advocacy, and real love. It reminds us that courage is contagious, vulnerability is powerful, and the most radical act you can do is be your authentic self.
