Writer and theater critic Louis Peitzman joins the guys from New York, where he is by all accounts okay with Times Square (...but we love him anyway). Plus, LGBTQ+ fiction are at record sales, which is like...books? Cool! And now that Pat Sajak is exiting his gig, where do the guys (including bona fide Wheel of Fortune contestant Eliot) fall in terms of finding a replacement host? Three words: keep Wheel bland!

Gay horror aficionado Joshua Conkel joins the guys to talk about all the spooky horror movie deep cuts you've never heard of. But first up -- and speaking of terrifying -- people are dying from poppers!? But not the way you think. The CDC is reminding folks to...stop DRINKING poppers! And finally, Brent poses a deep philosophical question: can you Grindr openly in public!?

The guys welcome monumentally talented singer Madison McFerrin to the podcast, to discuss her first album and why the hell she's so damn popular on one deep-cut app in China! But first, the Dodgers LGBT Pride Day controversy might have been diffused, but that won't keep the guys from bickering about it along largely predictable ideological lines (Brent = pragmatically liberal, Alan = boring!) And finally, the guys dish on Disney remakes and whether The Little Mermaid reboot has any potential.

This week, Matt Harkins and Viviana Rosales Olen of THNK1994 sprinkle into the pod the unique fairy dust of references that make their brand so unique, from Kim Cattrall's spoken word sex jazz to a museum dedicated solely to the evolution of the MILF. Then, a drag queen as a digital ambassador for the NAVY? In THIS economy? And a revelation about H. Alan's mom gets revealed that leaves Brent and Eliot speechless.

 This week, comedian (and former musical liaison to Elton John) Shalewa Sharpe joins live from NYC, not "the ATL," thank you very much. Also, when an line of underwear geared toward "thick" men is released but doesn't run beyond 2XL, did it really even happen? And is it possible to be too tired for a first date because you're too tired from your last date? Only Brent knows.

This week, it's just the guys with listener Q&A! And there's a little something for everyone, from a career retrospective of Margo Martindale to East African dance troupes to those goddamn Funko dolls. There's even a breezy mention of Krokodil, a Russian flesh-eating drug that only Brent would happily argue is worse than Fentanyl.
