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.

Vera Drew
Filmmaker, editor and director Vera Drew gives us a peek into her life behind the camera, where answering the phone is harder than it sounds. Plus, an update from Brent on homophobia in baseball during Pride Month, and why Mookie Betts is forever HIS grand marshal. And if the guys each had a superpower, what would they be, and who would be arrested first?

Colton Haynes
Colton Haynes makes his return to the pod to talk about Miss Memory Lane, his gut-wrenching new memoir that will leave you -- in the words of H. Alan -- "itching for more" (but in a different way). And now that Postmates has used Pride month to introduce a ::checks notes:: "menu for bottoms," we are officially EXHAUSTED. Also, just try and name another podcast where three queer hosts earnestly talk about coin purses without making a single joke about the vagina. Go ahead, we'll wait!

Our 200th Episode!!
Happy 200th episode! The guys celebrate the milestone with more listener Q&A because who needs guests anyway? (JK ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!!!) Plus, no kink at Pride? The guys discuss their limitations on what should and shouldn't be included in the yearly festivities, from boobs and butts to fists and nuts. And how do YOU feel about singing karaoke with people who actually CAN, even if you, like H. Alan, "hate music"?

Cissy Boys with Matt LeGrande, Dan Donohue and Cooper Lynden
Matt LeGrande, Dan Donohue and Cooper Lynden, comedians and hosts of the Cissy Boys podcast, make this episode a full blown sextuplet comedy bonanza, detailing all the colors of the sexual preference rainbow, including butt plugs for straight men. Plus, when someone gets canceled for making homophobic comments but actively tries to make amends, do we listen? And when it comes to hairstyles, which hosts embrace change and which host refuses to go curly and "embrace his Greek heritage," according to Eliot?

Customer Reviews
Love It!
Funny and smart.
Skip it
Cringe, out of touch hosts who talk over their guests. Far better and more relevant podcast offerings.
I kind of fell off...
I would listen to this podcast all the time but I kind of fell off after one of the guys said that a Canadian accent was the worst or least sexiest accent or something. Was a strange comment.
