This summer was defined by two words -- Brat and demure. On this episode of Just Press Play with Ell and Trey, we're out at Sheep Meadow to even the score once and for all. Was this year's summer a time of mindfulness or chaos? We'll also discuss gay bars in Hell's Kitchen and our vastly different experiences at the Fire Island Pines.

Between Ell and Trey, who had a brat summer and whose was more demure? Let us know what you think in the comments.

It's season 2 baby!

And we're kicking off this season with a summer wrap up to commemorate the enad of our favorite season. We're watching the sunset at the pier and catching up on all of our out-of-state Adventures and shenanigans in the city.

In this episode, you’ll hear about the songs that made us feel alive, Trey’s warm welcome into the world of ballroom and how Less almost became a Bar Mitzvah hype guy. All that and much more on the official start of season two of Just Press Play with Ell and Trey.

What was the highlight of your summer? Let us know in the comments.

It's part 2 of our conversation wrapping up the presidential debate on ABC News. We're pulling tweets from the internet that made us laugh, adding our own insights and commentary, and we might be jumping the gun, but what does the first Black woman president wear to the Inauguration? Come laugh with us.

On this episode of "Just Press Play with Ell and Trey" CBS News Correspondent Jarred Hill helps us break down some of the highlights (and lowlights) from the debate which, at times, felt more remedial than presidential.

In this recap we discuss the performance of both candidates, exploring some of the weird and wacky moments from Trump and moments of dominance from Harris, pushback from the Republican party and the impact this debate could have on voter perceptions and the upcoming election.

We continue our conversation with Tiana Maxim and dive into her pitfalls, her triumphs, and what it means to be mother. Also, you cannot miss a very special game of "Name That Tune: Queer Pop Icon Edition!"

On this very special edition of Just Press Play with Ell and Trey, we read the community for filth (with love, of course) in our first-ever monologue, and later, revisit the story of The Stonewall uprising. Tyla Bryant, the mastermind behind the drag performer Tiana Maxim, joins us for a kiki on the couch—as we explore her experience as a Black trans woman during Pride and in broader society. Finally, we honor the lives of trans people we’ve lost to violence this year and pose a question…

What’s the most important part of pride? Let us know your answer in the comments.
