The Wild Podcast Enters a New Era: Julian Barboza’s Texas Move & Season 4 Update

The Wild Boys Go Bi-Coastal: How Julian’s Move to Texas Reshapes The Wild Podcast

The Wild Podcast, hosted by The Wild Boys, has officially entered a new era following Julian Barboza's high-profile move from Los Angeles back to Texas in July 2026. Despite initial speculation from fans about a potential breakup of the popular adult lifestyle show, co-hosts Brandon Cardoso and Parker Reid have confirmed the brand is continuing its creative evolution across state lines.

The Decision Behind the Move

After spending three years building his career in the fast-paced Los Angeles content creation scene, Julian Barboza made the choice to relocate his main headquarters to Texas.

• Personal Growth: Julian sought a new chapter focused on independence and living solo for the first time.
• Family Connection: The move allows him to live closer to his family, who are based in Texas.
• LA Burnout: Barboza candidly admitted feeling burnt out by the Los Angeles lifestyle, prompting his desire for greater personal autonomy.

How the Podcast Dynamic is Changing

The transition marked the emotional conclusion of Season 3 with the milestone episode "END OF AN ERA (julian moves out)". The structural changes quickly became the focal point of the Season 4 premiere, "BRANDON MISSES JULIAN".

• The Missing Chair: With Julian working remotely from his new Texas apartment, the physical studio setup in California now features Brandon Cardoso and Parker Reid steering the ship locally.
• Bi-Coastal Production: The group is actively adapting their production style to accommodate long-distance recording and vlogging Julian's new life milestones.
• Expanding Guests & Collabs: The team continues to bring on high-profile guests, such as adult content creators and RuPaul's Drag Race icons, keeping their signature raw and humorous interview style alive.

Future of the Wild Boys Brand

A lineup focused on LGBTQ+ and adult lifestyle creators following a shift in the co-host dynamic, with Kyle Jacobs, June Jambalaya, Justin Laid, and Léo Levine appearing, often discussing personal, unfiltered stories. Episodes, will explore topics ranging from drag artistry and social media fame to adult content creation.

Despite the geographic distance, The Wild Boys brand remains stronger than ever. They recently celebrated major milestones, including a feature in The New Yorker magazine. The trio continues to drop weekly episodes on Apple Podcasts and YouTube, proving that their content evolution is only just beginning.
