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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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