If President Trump tweets about ending HIV with widespread Truvada distribution but it's all secretly an initiative for big pharma, did it ever really happen? Then, Ryan O'Connell, writer, creator and star of the Netflix show Special, joins Brent, Eliot and H. Alan to talk about why, when it comes to gay male sex onscreen, Ryan vows to never "pan to the fucking moon" (**cough** Call Me By Your Name **cough**). This naturally leads to a greater, more pressing discussion on the perils of buttsex. And in what some might describe as the most honest moment in the history of podcasts, the guys answer the ultimate question: DO YOU ACTUALLY READ BOOKS? Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryan O'Connell

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.
