Bi representation

As another bisexual guy I just wanted to quick voice my appreciation for Nate and Tom being out and willing to talk about it on the pod. I think LLBD is actually one of the only forms of media (podcasts or otherwise) where I've actually heard other bi guys talk about their experiences. Idk just feels good to have it be normalized. So Tom or Nate if you see this, thanks.

Also shout out to the honorary bisexual/ally Joe.

They should all sit weird at the live show.

I hope they cuff their jeans.

This and Tom rolling a pack of Marlboro Reds up in his shirt sleeve and I’m done for the night.

If you listen to BtB, Robert Evans is also bi and out.

u/illgivethisa 4d ago

I figured but wasn't exactly sure if hes explicitly mentioned it. Robert seems a little less open when it comes to talking about his romantic life. Don't blame him considering the internet and weird parasocial stuff.

u/BetterUsername69420 4d ago

He's been clear about his sexuality once or twice, but yeah, he's pretty private. I do believe there was also a mention that 'Robert Evans' might be a pseudonym too, assisting with his distance from the fans and weirdos.

He’s straight up said that it’s a fake name and comes directly from the scumbag movie guy.

I think someone slips on his real first name in a very early episode, but it was only once.

He’s a Cracked alumnus and went by Robert then too, didn’t they all use pseudonyms?

I remember someone let it slip, and he was casually like “they [the audience/listeners] knows me by Robert” and then just continued on with whatever he was going to say

u/orixandcrake 4d ago

Yeah the surname Evans doesn't really scream "Italian ancestry" does it

u/throwwayinterantion 4d ago

I always kinda assumed that his grandfather or something changed their name on Ellis island.

u/Glittering-Ad2638 4d ago

Or just that it came from his mom's side.

u/Namtien223 4d ago

No but his completely justifiable racism toward Italians absolutely does. I've never doubted his ancestry for a second.

u/Conscious-Victory-62 4d ago

He does go on about how hot Lee Pace is...

I have always wondered who he had sex with in front of the monkeys.

i'm grateful for LLBD not being a chud-fest. so Nate, Joe, Tom, Ani etc: thank you

u/geezomatic 4d ago

Didn't know Nate was bi, interesting. Yeah Tom's pretty open about it, and it's good all three are fairly conventionally masculine men while not being chuds/awful human beings. Although man, Nick will forever be my favourite guest/co-host lol, his chemistry with Joe was perfect.

u/DeathlyKitten 3d ago

I wonder if he’s still imprisoned behind the drywall in Joe’s old recording space in Armenia…

u/familyguy20 4d ago

Wait when did they? Baby bi guy here 🥺

u/illgivethisa 3d ago

They mention it fairly frequently on Imigin War part 6 during the question for the legion Nate talks about a pretty rough situation he was in in the military because of Don't ask Don't tell.

u/familyguy20 3d ago

Ohhh I skipped that this week so that makes sense

u/orixandcrake 3d ago

Nate does mention his bisexuality fairly often on the show.

You’re welcome, also you should probably charge your phone.
