Liza Treyger Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

When The Weeknd sings about "fucking a girl straight," does that make him homophobic, arrogant or tone deaf? ("All of the above" counts.) Then, comedian Liza Treyger joins Brent, Eliot and H. Alan to talk about growing up in the former Soviet Union, going to jail in Iowa, and her dream wife, #softbutch porn star Nikki Hearts. And finally, the guys have a ~light chat~ about how body shame and dysmorphia is SO common among gay men but NO ONE seems to want to talk about it because, as Eliot says, MASCULINITY IS A PRISON? On the plus side, however, Brent knows his ass looks GOOD.

Matt Rogers Feb 21, 2019

Show notes

Is YouTube homophobic? The guys talk about recent proof that find the site's algorithm to "punish" content that uses the word "trans" in the title, thereby limiting a video's reach and the LGBTQ YouTuber's ad revenue stream. Then, Matt Rogers of the podcast Las Culturistas delights the guys with his innately twisted sense of humor, his impression of "singers," and an anecdote about being so closeted in college that he literally missed class just so he could masturbate. And finally, Brent, Eliot and H. Alan break down the popular "party drugs" that circle the gay community, from poppers to ecstasy and even meth, which Eliot initially assumed was potpourri.

Roz Drezfalez Feb 07, 2019

Show notes

Brent, Eliot and H. Alan ask if gender-bending actors Keiynan Lonsdale, Nico Tortorella, and Ezra Miller are consistently hailed for their boundary-pushing style choices for any other reason besides being hot and thin. Then, stopping by to promote her new podcast GHOSTED by Roz Drezfalez, drag queen Roz Drezfalez grills the guys on their experiences with the supernatural, and somehow Brent only makes ONE joke about Eliot having sex with a ghost.

Patti Harrison Jan 31, 2019

Show notes

If a Republican in Arizona introduces legislation to ban public school students from even TALKING about LGBTQ issues, but the law is destined to fail, did it even happen? Then, comedian Patti Harrison joins Brent, Eliot and H. Alan to detail the PARTY that was being a biracial, closeted trans woman in rural Ohio, and how everyone just assumes she's an activist now, which is annoying. And we finally find out which of the guys has kissed a girl (and liked it). But does it even count if she ALSO grew up to be gay?

After Ellen Degeneres, one of the most recognizable LGBTQ figures in the world, gave Kevin Hart a mea culpa for his homophobic tweets, the guys ask: can someone ever apologize enough?

Janine Brito Jan 10, 2019

Show notes

Today, Brent, Eliot, and H. Alan ask: is Ariana Grande a racist, transphobic, misogynistic homophobe? A writer at Grindr's news site Into More thought so, penning an extensive, widely reviled (and ultimately redacted) op-ed accusing the pop star of such after watching the video for "Thank U, Next." Comedian Janine Brito then joins the guys to talk about why queer people are obsessed with their pets ...excluding Brent, who refers to H. Alan's cat, Frasier, as "It." And finally, in talking tattoos, H. Alan and Eliot reveal the stories behind how they both ended up getting inked with tributes to The Golden Girls.
