This is a solo episode and I have shingles. In this episode we talk about the art of being a femme, why lesbians don’t have exes, and how to get someone to ask you out. I also read your confessions from my live show, including queer awakenings, homoerotic childhood friendships, growing up religious, and the time I cried when gay marriage was legalized. We also touch on Insatiable, Gilmore Girls, The Odyssey, why I want to move to New York, and why getting a cat might change your life.

Meet Chelsea Hood: former church kid, current stand-up comedian and gay person. Chelsea is a great pal, and also an early mentor for me in standup comedy. We talk about growing up in the church, why billionaires hate the gays, and being a weird kid. The audio is a bit wonky in this episode but i thought the convo was really fun! Thanks for understanding and the mic should be fixed for the next ep <3

This is my friend Derry- Chicago drag queen, comedian, former teacher, and Maryland horse farm kid. In this episode we talk about the monetary consequences of being gay during Pride Month, growing up queer without realizing it, and why Starbucks used to feel like a gay safe haven. We also touch on bad jobs, grocery store guacamole, Full House, The Odyssey being bad, non-monogamy, dating as a gay man, and whether anyone actually wants a relationship anymore. Plus, we debut a brand new segment: Dear Daddy Pod, where we give advice to a gay guy struggling to find someone who wants more than a hookup.

This is my friend Katie- Chicago lesbian, former youth group kid, and lover of the twilight saga. In this episode we talk about the differences between gay male and lesbian sexual culture, the "lesbian ticketed event" phenomenon, and why you need to be a good texter to date me. We also touch on God, ghosts, Pascal's Wager, finding spiritual experiences in books instead of the Bible, and Twilight as the horniest thing ever written.
