Gideon Glick: Broadway, Fire Island Chaos & the Atlantis Cruise Debate (From Zipolite)

This episode starts with absolutely no plan and somehow ends with nonprofit theater, Atlantis Cruise arrests, Patti LuPone, and me being accused (again) of gentrifying Mexico.So. You’re welcome.Adam and I are in full Zipolite brain — which means we’re overstimulated, under‑hydrated, and spiritually sponsored by ChiZme. Within the first five minutes we’ve already derailed into dinner party gossip, nightclub lore, and my lifelong devotion to Patti LuPone (who remains correct about everything).But most importantly, the adorable Gideon Glick is our guest today — Broadway prince, Spring Awakening baby, Maisel alum, and certified word‑nerd chaos agent — and instead of calming us down, he makes it worse.We talk about how we’re basically accidental foster brothers from Ohio with shared grief trauma (casual!), then immediately pivot to:Lea Michele discourseDiva behavior analyticsDating on Fire Island (a hostile sport)Douching logistics (educational segment??)Pup play (don’t ask)Somewhere inside the spiral, Gideon casually drops that he launched the Blue Roses Project in New Orleans — a nonprofit that pairs emerging queer playwrights with established directors for an unproduced‑play intensive using local artists. It’s giving Southern gothic arts renaissance. It’s giving humidity and dramaturgy.Then — because we cannot stay in one lane — we debate Metro Weekly publishing the names of nine men arrested while allegedly trying to board an Atlantis Cruise. Are we protecting the community? Ruining lives? Feeding the outrage machine? Is gay media messy? (Yes.)Gurl, this is not a linear podcast.This is two gays and a guest with microphones.@triggerwaringnyc@redeye_ny@pridehousemediaWrite to us at: [email protected]
