GOOPLAH

We saved this one for a rainy day. A snowy day will do though! As we Texans shelter (hopefully) in our warm homes, why not add our voices to those fireplace vibes? Tyler and Andy contemplated whether or not another snow storm would occur at the time of recording, and guess what, they predicted correctly. Keeping us cozy and confident this episode is Alex Ray (@coachalexray). He's a phenomenal life coach, inspirational figure, and fierce pioneer of hot sex for LGBTQ people. He believes that confidence shouldn't be isolated from the bedroom. In fact, asking for what you want in bed helps you ask for what you want in life. Forget lady on the streets. Be your favorite kind of freak wherever you be! Please visit https://coachalexray.com to elicit his exquisite expertise as a coach, and follow his Instagram so you can stare at his self-assteem! Join "Homo's Modern Life" at his upcoming "Confident as F***" coaching event on February 11th. All the info about it and how to join is available on his website. See you in season four!Hosts:Tyler- @homosmodernlifeAndy- @AndyfromboystoryProducer:Collin- @squidlegs

We are the homos with eyes that sparkle, Queens! The totally tight TikTok talent Taylor Morgan McPherson (@sparklequeenla) stopped by the Gooplah laboratory to help the boys with their chemistry. You see, some of our queer peeps and pals don't know how to get past biology, cuz playing the early dating game is often all about physics. Tune in to this very special episode of "Homo's Modern Life" for some crucial formulas like how to calculate the length of a first date. How many Instagrams should you collect in a single night? Rolodex realness??? Sebastian the crab told Ariel to blink cutely for her handsome prince. In this fast-paced world of hot vax summer clubbin', you might be surprised by how far that can take you. Tyler and Andy may often be unlucky in love, but after talking with Taylor, they feel one step closer towards that moon and pizza pie combo. We hope this episode leads you to love, and if not that, glitter. Don't forget, play safe! We apologize for some audio strangeness. As hottie Harry Styles would say, it's a sign of the times.

It's beginning to look a lot like A BONUS EPISODE! This recording was made weeks ago, but we believe that it should be Gay Christmas all year round. So yes, in this episode, Tyler opens his presents from Andy. Also yes, it is very cute. Because you know we like to keep on theme, we thought we'd invite someone on who brings joy to queers across DFW: the benevolent and bodacious Tres Brown (tresbaybay). They talk to us about the many organization they work with in order to help educate people about safe sex practices while normalizing sex positivity. DFW Fuse hosts many events like D&D (not those kinds of D's (this time ;-)), game nights, movie premieres, and so much more. You may be seeing Tyler and Andy at some of these wonderful get togethers, because our New Year's Resolution is to further collaborate with LGBTQ led organizations in and around DFW. We sincerely hope this episode connects some of you with a very helpful resource, namely, Our local resource center: myresourcecenter.org DFW Fuse- @dfwfuseResource Center- @myresourcectrGender Brave- @genderbraveUnited Black Ellument- @ubellumentHosts:Tyler- @homosmodernlifeAndy- @AndyfromboystoryProducer:Collin- @squidlegs

What's all the Gooplah? Well, HML is changing their name! This was supposed to be the last episode of our third season before our epic rebrand, but instead, just to mess with everyone's already fragile brains, it's our third to last. Cuz why not!? You know we like to keep our quality queers and astonishing allies on their toes. There was lots of eggnog this year, aiight? In this episode, Tyler and Andy gab away without daddy's (Collin's*) supervision. And you know what, daddy is proud (y'all did a great job)! Download and play for all kinds of things that are gay, including some potential alternate names for our HML boys. Will we be introduced to Calami-Tyler soon? Only listeners will know. Now go! Be your best hoe! Hosts:Tyler- @homosmodernlifeAndy- @AndyfromboystoryProducer:Collin- @squidlegs

We are living in a queer society! If you didn't know that, then allow us to inform you. On today's episode, Tyler and Andy are joined by David Quiñones and Robert Brice of the "Proud Society," an LGBTQ organization that helps bring queers of all shapes and sizes together. Their mission is to offer events and services to anyone who can't find that glorious pot of gold at the end of their rainbow. It's so important, especially as we move forward into a day of greater acceptance, that spaces like this exist. While based in and around South Florida, we think that big things are coming (Yas, Zaddy!) for Proud Society and everyone who gets involved. You may just see them in a little town near little old you very soon. Visit their website at https://proudsociety.org and follow them on Instagram (@proudsocietyorg).

If you're an avid listener of "Homo's Modern Life," then it's no secret that our episodes which connect us to the creatives behind HBO's "We're Here" are some of our best. Join us for another conversation about wellness and drag with official superstar and soon to be household drag name, Dustin Van Dyke! You can find him on Facebook or instagram under Dustin James Rotolo (@dustinjrotolo), and believe us, you're gonna wanna. Listening to this truly spectacular individual share his story with us was one of those rare, deeply connected moments, and you will be transformed when you finally get to watch his episode. You guessed it, Dustin is one of the breakout performers from the finale of season two, and we just know his rockin' rainbow will lead us into an equally fierce season three. We look forward to further connecting with Dustin and feeling the gay fire he's lighting in that hot furnace we call the magical world of Drag. If you're in Texas, then join us for our finale watch party at JR's in DFW's Oaklawn (aka- the gayborhood). The finale of "We're Here' will air on HBO at 8pm Central on November 29th.

We don't believe in the glorification of murderers. We do believe in the empowerment of queers who love TV and film. (To clarify: in regards to the stuff about "You," we are KIDDING.) Hi there! Our editor got a blowout on an open highway (nobody was injured) and has been recovering. That's why this episode is a day late, and we do apologize. Speaking of our editor, Collin Miller (@squidlegs) is on the pod this time around. He talks to the boys all about the upcoming "Queer 2 Queer" Film Festival on November 20th. Live events start in the Margo Jones Theatre at 2pm and the films themselves will premiere at 6pm. The films will be available online as of November 21st and will stream until November 27th, but if you can come visit us in person, then please do so. Tyler and Andy are hosting, so you know it'll be a good time.
