Parker Callahan, hilarious performer and writer, engages us with a freewheeling chat about microdosing, Cards Against Humanity, and his brilliantly gay-themed body of theater work. But first, we explore the horrific death of Oklahoma non-binary teen Nex Benedict, who mysteriously dropped dead one day after being assaulted by bullies in their suburban Tulsa high school. And finally, what should we make of Fentanyl test strips being available in gay bars!? Should we be scared? Relieved? Who even still does coke!? Not Alan...

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.

But first, we dive into the PA school board's controversial cancellation of an anti-bullying speech by 30 Rock actor Maulik Pancholy. And finally, we discuss the "Gay Art of Fast Walking." Easter egg: Brent was sick while recording and by the end he sounds like death and is high from NyQuil!
