  • Summary

  • Although ​performing ​stand-up comedy ​was what initially united ​Eliot, Brent, and H. Alan over 10 years ago​, it’s their ​openness ​(​and ​sense of humor) about feeling ​totally ​lost ​and disconnected from the gay community that’s truly bonded them. ​On YMIW, ​Eliot, Brent and H. Alan get down and dirty, exploring the ​good, bad, and ugly ​tropes of contemporary gay life, often the stuff that no one -- especially ​​​straight people -- discuss for fear of being labeled homophobic. (Don’t worry. ​They’ll do that for you.) Each episode features ​a special guest ​-​- comedians, humorists, musicians, influencers, film/TV writers, journalists, politicians, etc. - as well as allies, enemies, and acquaintances from all backgrounds and professions, not just those in the public eye. And as white​, urban-dwelling ​gay ​dudes in their ​thirties, Eliot, Brent and H. Alan​ check their own privilege at the door, eager to ​instead explore what life looks ​for those not afforded the same concessions.

    Live from Fire Island, comedian and illustrator Max Wittert joins us (admittedly a TOUCH stoned) to talk about avant garde comedy and why it's hard to find a scene when you're an illustrator. But first, we dive into the controversial decision by all-girls school Sweet Briar College to ban trans women at the behest of some old coot's will from 1900. And finally, Eliot wants to know why dark shows like Road Wars are so appealing...but it mostly devolves into us lambasting him for being a road rager! Learn more about your ad choices.

    Jarringly eloquent TV writer and poet Thomas Daniel Valls joins us to muse over getting touched at the bar, why Florida doesn't actually suck and, well, his butt. But first, find out what the 2020 Census reveals about where gay men AND lesbians prefer to habitate...it just might surprise you. And finally, Brent vents about a change to Grindr that makes it somehow even less redeeming. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
