Zach Stafford, former editor of The Advocate and ACTUAL employee of Grindr, talks the guys to talk about The Big Issues: white gays' racism, Instagays using Black Lives Matter for thirst traps, and the joy of being protested by Westboro Baptist Church (incidentally Brent's favorite homophobes). Then, Brent, Eliot and H. Alan try to figure out why J.K. Rowling is OBSESSED with trans people. Plus, get to know the "Pick Me Gay," and try and count how many times the guys mention LeFou.

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.
