Tennis icons Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova on their legendary rivalry, extraordinary friendship & cancer

For more than four decades, tennis icons Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova defined one of the greatest rivalries in sports history – 80 matches, Grand Slam battles, and defining moments that helped elevate women’s tennis into a global force.

Now, in Netflix’s new documentary, Chris & Martina: The Final Set, the two legends reflect on how that fierce on-court competition evolved into a lifelong friendship shaped by mutual respect, shared history, and parallel battles with cancer.

Speaking to Rich Kleiman for the latest episode of Boardroom Talks, Evert and Navratilova revisit iconic moments from their rivalry, including the emotional 1984 US Open final, while also opening up about how their competitive mindset carried them through cancer diagnoses and treatment. Navratilova reflects on resilience and taking life “day by day,” while Evert shares how her outlook shifted to simply “keep going” and focus on living fully after her Stage 1 ovarian cancer diagnosis in 2021.

Tom Daley: Shares on David Begnaud Podcast Truth About Coming Home As An Olympic Medalist At 14

Before Tom Daley became one of the most decorated divers in British history with five Olympic medals and five Olympic Games under his belt, he was a terrified nine year old standing on the end of a diving board, crying his eyes out and refusing to jump into the pool.

Then Andy Banks, the head coach at Plymouth Diving Club, walked in and said the words that almost ended everything before it started: Tom Daley will never be a diver for as long as he’ll live.

In this deeply personal and unguarded conversation, the Olympic champion sits down with David Begnaud to share the story of the coach who doubted him at first, then never stopped believing in him, and how that belief carried him through bullying, loss, and the darkest years of his life. There’s also a raw reflection on fear, identity, and what it means to thrive under pressure.

Top queer DJ Matt Suave celebrates Pride Month with his debut single and video “My House”

Since I don’t go out dancing much these days, I have not had the opportunity to see queer DJ Matt Suave in action. But I do seeing him in a few of Andrew Neighbors’ YouTube videos when they did some traveling.

I thought Matt, like Andrew, was cute as heck so started following him on Instagram as you do.

So when an enthusiastic PR team ed me recently about doing a post on Matt’s new single My House – just released today – I was game! You can see it below.

Emerging as one of the top queer DJs in North America, Matt ias a classically trained musician and opera singer turned global house DJ.

He has distilled every groove he has absorbed on the dance floor while commanding the biggest and best parties in the world into a single anthem. It’s three minutes of unabashed, queer joy captured during a house party full of the local drag queens and DJs that helped raise Suave as an artist and have been there for him since the beginning, including RuPaul’s Drag Race winner and All-Star Yvie Oddly.

“I spent a long time on this project, teaching myself over the years to produce from scratch in my bedroom, and what came out is exactly that – my house sound,” Matt says of the new single. “Every groove, every influence I’d absorbed on the dance floor, poured into a single track for the first time. The result is a vocal disco house cut with a classic piano breakdown in the second half that has since become one of my signature instruments in all my tracks.”

He adds: “The music video is also the culmination of all my coming-of-age musician years in Denver. We threw an actual house party at a friend’s place, surrounded by the people who’ve been there from the beginning: chosen family, PlayHaus drag performers, the Denver community that helped raise me as an artist. It features a surprise appearance from my close friend and Denver superstar Yvie Oddly – winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11. It’s my whole world that made this record, in one room for its video.”

According to a press release: My House is a high-impact vocal disco bop that celebrates individuality and resilience. As the co-founder of PlayHaus, Denver’s premier queer dance collective, Suave taps into his chosen family and his own community to star in the kaleidoscopic music video.

Suave has brought his talents to some of the world’s biggest stages including EDC Las Vegas, WorldPride, NYC Pride, LA Pride, Sydney Mardi Gras.

Enjoy! And congratulations to Matt!

Happy 83rd birthday to Barry Manilow!

Looks like he made it!

Barry Manilow turns 83 today and so I thought I’d share some of his classic songs. There are so many so sometimes you just gotta make those hard choices.

I feel so much better celebrating Barry as an openly gay man which he has been in recent years. He has said that if he had come out during the height of his popularity in the 1970s and 80s, it would have killed his career.

Probably true.

I suppose better late than never!

Barry is recovering from early stage lung cancer. H wants to perform again but has struggled to regain his stamina.

Wishing him the very best!
