First, Brent, Eliot and H. Alan give their take on Drag Queen Storytelling Hour and the Fox News segment that puts a target on its studded, sparkly back. Then, Broad City's Abbi Jacobson joins to talk about her journey to queerness (or the lack thereof) and the pressure to "come out," so to speak, even when it's a late night talk show host prying that closet door open. And in light of the backlash against Taylor Swift's courting of the LGBTQ crowd with "You Need to Calm Down," the guys talk about their own personal gay anthems ...and somehow, Savage Garden shows up more than once.

Abbi Jacobson

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.
