Wednesday Breakfast: Mr Australasia Bear – Risqué Realness, Queer Community & Bear Hugs Galore

We went on a bear hunt and found an entire nation of fabulous, fur-flaunting contestants! JOY Breakfast gets fully immersed in Southern HiBearnation 2025 with an in-studio takeover featuring contestants from across Australia and Aotearoa — from Mr Vic Bear to Mr Bear NZ, Mr Perth, Mr QLD, Mr SA, and more.

In this bumper episode, we talk everything from charity causes to jockstrap confidence, drag alter egos, mohawks for mental health, inclusive storytelling, disability advocacy, neon piss-yellow beards (yes, really), and the misunderstood anatomy of gendered nipples.

Expect laughs, love, vulnerability, and a healthy dose of queer chaos. This is what community sounds like — cheeky, diverse, deeply caring, and barely clothed.
