About this episode
Don’t judge a book by its cover. Jason Ellis definitely doesn't look like what most people would think of when they try to picture a stereotypical bisexual man. So when Jason came out, he received some heat from his listeners. People wanted him to shut up about his sexuality and go back to talking about MMA and Motocross. He lost fans. But were they really fans if they don’t support who he really is? And does he really care about fame or money?Be sure to follow Jason on IG!
