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.

Customer Reviews
This going to sound awful
But besides the fact that Eliot, Brent and H. have a hilarious and thoughtful podcast, they do so without vocal fry and without saying everything like it sounds like a question? Thank y’all for being who you are and easy on the ears.
Insufferable
Self-loathing meets condescension and vomits into a mic.
Whiny.
Three 30-something Los Angeles gay guys who have lost touch with the rest of the country and just spend the hour whining. 🙄
Hope you like Up-Speak & Vocal Friiiiiieeeee……🙄.
