    You’re Making It Worse

    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.

    Louis Peitzman Jun 22, 2023
    Show notes

    Writer and theater critic Louis Peitzman joins the guys from New York, where he is by all accounts okay with Times Square (...but we love him anyway). Plus, LGBTQ+ fiction are at record sales, which is like...books? Cool! And now that Pat Sajak is exiting his gig, where do the guys (including bona fide Wheel of Fortune contestant Eliot) fall in terms of finding a replacement host? Three words: keep Wheel bland!

    Joshua Conkel Jun 15, 2023
    Show notes

    Gay horror aficionado Joshua Conkel joins the guys to talk about all the spooky horror movie deep cuts you've never heard of. But first up -- and speaking of terrifying -- people are dying from poppers!? But not the way you think. The CDC is reminding folks to...stop DRINKING poppers! And finally, Brent poses a deep philosophical question: can you Grindr openly in public!?

    Monét X Change Jun 08, 2023
    Show notes

    Monét X Change joins this week to talk about her new standup comedy tour as well as following in the footsteps of a former Supreme Court Justice! Then, did Ted Cruz become an ally just in time for Pride month? Plus, Brent [possibly] degrades THE METH COMMUNITY and you are [possibly] OUTRAGED!!!

    Madison McFerrin May 25, 2023
    Show notes

    The guys welcome monumentally talented singer Madison McFerrin to the podcast, to discuss her first album and why the hell she's so damn popular on one deep-cut app in China! But first, the Dodgers LGBT Pride Day controversy might have been diffused, but that won't keep the guys from bickering about it along largely predictable ideological lines (Brent = pragmatically liberal, Alan = boring!) And finally, the guys dish on Disney remakes and whether The Little Mermaid reboot has any potential.

    Matt Harkins and Viviana Rosales Olen of THNK1994 May 18, 2023
    Show notes

    This week, Matt Harkins and Viviana Rosales Olen of THNK1994 sprinkle into the pod the unique fairy dust of references that make their brand so unique, from Kim Cattrall's spoken word sex jazz to a museum dedicated solely to the evolution of the MILF. Then, a drag queen as a digital ambassador for the NAVY? In THIS economy? And a revelation about H. Alan's mom gets revealed that leaves Brent and Eliot speechless.

    Shalewa Sharpe May 11, 2023
    Show notes

    This week, comedian (and former musical liaison to Elton John) Shalewa Sharpe joins live from NYC, not "the ATL," thank you very much. Also, when an line of underwear geared toward "thick" men is released but doesn't run beyond 2XL, did it really even happen? And is it possible to be too tired for a first date because you're too tired from your last date? Only Brent knows.

    Joey Capuana, author of queer comic Trance, joins to explain comics vs. graphic novels. Plus, fucking straight guys! Also, the New York Times lays out the timeline of how transphobia became America's most fervent talking point. Plus, is David Duchovny hot? Is Lucille Bogan a pan icon? CAN GAYS CAUSE EARTHQUAKES?

    Show notes

    Avi Wisnia, subject of PBS documentary 'How Saba Kept Singing' (now available everywhere, including YouTube) joins the guys to commemorate his remarkable grandfather, a Holocaust survivor [and late husband of Eliot's thirstiest fan]. Meanwhile, Brent reveals his newest investment as downtown LA'S #1 good samaritan. And why is Italy being so weird about gay parents? Fuhgeddaboudit!!!

    Isaac Oliver Apr 13, 2023
    Show notes

    Isaac Oliver -- scribe, memoirist and all-around delight -- joins to help further the discourse on both intimacy between gay male friends and the value of pineapple on pizza. (Pineapple?! On pizza?! Fuhgeddaboudit!) Then, remember covid? We sure don't! Plus, nepo baby and human grease fire Kid Rock gets SOOOO MADDDD at beer...because...trans? It'll make sense when you listen.

    Listener Questions & Comments (It Gets Weird) Apr 06, 2023
    Show notes

    This week, it's just the guys with listener Q&A! And there's a little something for everyone, from a career retrospective of Margo Martindale to East African dance troupes to those goddamn Funko dolls. There's even a breezy mention of Krokodil, a Russian flesh-eating drug that only Brent would happily argue is worse than Fentanyl.
