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.

The delightful Nicole Speizio & Jenny Donheiser, cohosts of the podcast How Were U Brainwashed?, join us to discuss the myriad ways we're all brainwashed as kids AND adults, from religion to blue balls! But first, is Elon Musk REALLY moving SpaceX and Twitter to Texas because of...trans kids? And finally, we muse over the recent NYTimes op-ed about the Medium Friend, that person who's just above an acquaintance but below a bestie.
