Big Dipper Jan 03, 2019

Show notes

To kick off 2019, the boys consider whether or not Kevin Hart's old homophobic tweets were worth his stepping down as host of the Oscars (but only after initially refusing to apologize). Should gay jokes get a pass if they're from ten years ago? Then, rapper Big Dipper joins Brent, Eliot, and H. Alan to talk about his life as an out musician whose music remains unapologetically queer, and why there still hasn't been a successful mainstream gay rapper (...yet). And finally, in examining the asexual minutiae of their lives, the guys give you a rundown of their grocery shopping routines. But one question remains, as asked by Alan: does shopping at Trader Joe's make Brent basic? See Race Chaser with Alaska and Willam: LIVE in Los Angeles January 11th at the Ace Hotel theater.

Willam Dec 27, 2018

Show notes

Brent, Eliot and H. Alan discuss a Pulitzer-worthy "article" from Gay Star News about a gay guy who purposely put on a ton of weight in an attempt to go "from twink to bear." Next, Drag Race alum and A Star Is Born scene-stealer Willam talks everything Willam: moviemaking with Lady Gaga, staying moisturized at Burning Man, getting arrested, co-hosting the podcast Race Chaser with Alaska Thunderfuck and -- yup -- getting kicked off Drag Race. And finally, the guys talk about what it's like to have their parents on social media, including Eliot's ongoing battle with his Mom over her Facebook etiquette or lack thereof.

Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola Dec 20, 2018

Show notes

Brent, Eliot and H. Alan discuss the case of a gay guy in New York who sued a Chelsea spa after a male masseuse tried to give him a happy ending. Did he overreact? Was he genuinely surprised? Or is he completely in the right and we're monsters? Then, husband and wife duo Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola of the podcast Maybe It's You (and Behrendt co-wrote He's Just Not That Into You) help point out the relationship challenges that suck for EVERYBODY. Then, the guys decide whether board games are dumb or lame, and Brent worries if being beaten at a game of chess by his own nephew is worthy of throwing a tantrum. Bonus question: can you guess which co-host had sex in a public park?

Max Silvestri Dec 13, 2018

Show notes

The Trump administration has ONCE AGAIN asked the Supreme Court to reconsider banning transgender people from the military. The guys try to decipher this administration's obsession with targeting trans people, and why it's become red hot political ammunition. Then, comedian Max Silvestri joins the guys to talk about fearing the Alpha Male, and how a fear of angry straight men is truly the great American unifier for gay guys and straight "beta" dudes alike. And Brent, Eliot and H. Alan talk everything Christmas: the cookies, the music, and the inadequacy that plagues little Jewish boys and girls every December, a sentiment Alan refuses to believe is a real thing.

David Smithyman Dec 06, 2018

Show notes

On today's episode, Brent and H. Alan attempt to calm Eliot after his visceral reaction to a story in the New York Times about a very rich, politically active married gay couple in Manhattan who have become full-fledged, MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporters: when, how, and UGH WHYYY? Then, Fresh off the Boat writer and shame-filled Australian David Smithyman talks to the guys about the enigma of the gay nightlife industry, including the unintentionally hilarious jibberish used by party promoters to seduce (and confuse?) potential partygoers to venues like Club Toilet, a real place. And the guys talk parenthood: who wants kids, how soon, and, also, vaginally?

Matt McConkey Nov 29, 2018

Show notes

If two girls kiss on camera and it's broadcast on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, does anyone care? As it turns out...yep. Ugh. Then, Matt McConkey of the podcast Homophiliajoins Brent, Eliot and H. Alan to talk about etiquette of sending nudes, the nightmare that is Datalounge, and the shitstorm of blackmail via Grindr, which helped oust a 20-year-old city councilman in Texas. And, finally, the guys talk about the benefits of therapy and whether or not you should be a dick to your shrink.

Marquita Robinson Nov 15, 2018

Show notes

First, the guys talk about which gay lingo needs to be retired -- zaddy, mary, kween -- and whether or not the Alyssa Edwards-inspired tongue pop is past its prime. Then, Marquita Robinson, writer for GLOW, You're the Worst, and New Girl, joins the guys to talk about her experience navigating different spaces as a bisexual woman growing up between Okinawa and Oklahoma. Then, Brent, Eliot and H. Alan see green when they talk about how much weed they smoke, respectively, and whether or not "the war on drugs" actually had a lasting impact or if it's just another reason to hate the Reagans.

Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman Nov 08, 2018

Show notes

A Star is Born continues to shine and certainly feels like the gayest event of 2018. Should we care? Do we stan for Gaga? Better yet, so we stan for Andrew Dice Clay??? Then, Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman, hosts of podcast and live show Couples Therapy, join Brent, Eliot and H. Alan to talk about coupling up just in time for "cuffing season." And finally, WHO DRESSED UP FOR HALLOWEEN? Uploaded just in time to start thinking about Halloween 2019!

Garrett Watts Nov 01, 2018

Show notes

Should we care about STD's? You might be surprised by Brent, Eliot and H. Alan's answers. Then, influencer Garrett Watts talks about living life on YouTube and how the most dramatic proclamation of queerness might just be...not proclaiming it at all. And when it comes to sleeping habits, whose quirks are the weirdest? Is it Brent because he sleeps on five pillows? Probably, but you should still listen through the end anyway.

Liza Dye Oct 25, 2018

Show notes

After watching Republican senator Lindsay Graham throw a hissy fit of epic proportions at the Brett Kavanaugh hearing (and later berating Dr. Blasey Ford's testimony on Twitter), the guys debate whether or not it's fair to publicly tease the lifelong bachelor, as Rosie O'Donnell did when she called him a "closeted idiot." Then, comedian and "chapstick lesbian" Liza Dye joins Brent, Eliot and H. Alan to try and figure out why lesbians can't get ONE goddamn bar. Is that so much to ask? Finally, how do the guys feel about theme parks, and which of your co-hosts is afraid of roller coasters (spoiler alert: it's one of the Jewish ones).
