Jewish high priestess and comedian Shawn Pelofsky joins the guys to explain why gay audiences are the best (...for her, not your co-hosts, who exclusively bomb in front of gay crowds). Plus, if Antoni Porowski and Jonathan Van Ness tease a fictional relationship on Instagram, but it's revealed to be a mere ploy to sell dog food, are we allowed to accuse them of queerbaiting, or are they simply annoying? "All of the above" counts! And after a gay weatherman loses his job for performing online sex acts in the least anonymous way possible, did he "get what he deserved," or is he the victim of revenge porn? "All of the above" counts here, too.

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.
