Ryan O’Connell On Getting Rejected, Daddy Issues & Brain Rot

This week on Only Child, Bob the Drag Queen is joined by writer, actor, and professional oversharer Ryan O’Connell for a conversation that somehow covers everything from celebrity crushes and go-go dancers to New York Times bestsellers and social media brain rot. Ryan opens up about the rejection that inspired his new book, Inspiration Porn, why getting turned down by a hot co-star changed his entire dating life, and how years of insecurity, addiction, and self-doubt eventually turned into confidence.

They also get into Hollywood development hell, complicated family dynamics, sobriety, queer media, and Ryan’s belief that there are only seven funny people in America. Plus: daddy issues, theater kids, internet fame, and the strange process of turning your life into art while trying not to lose yourself in the process.
