Summary
"Dye! Dye! My Darling!" (August 2, 2000)
Spend a little time in a Daria fan community and you'll find folks who ship the title character with her best friend, Jane. The show actually never does a gay episode and only gets the slightest bit queer in the first movie, Is It Fall Yet?, which has Jane affirming her heterosexuality despite how very queer she might seem. In this episode, we're discussing the nonetheless existent lesbian vibes between Daria and Jane — and who better to offer input on this than Talking Simpsons cohost Bob Mackey? Sure, he's straight, but it turns out that straight men can relate to female characters too. (We were shocked!)
As it turns out, Bob and Henry's What a Cartoon podcast covers not only the Daria episode that immediately precedes this one, "Fire!" and also "The Misery Chick," which as we discuss is a crucial turning point in the development of Daria Morgandorfer.
This week, Glen and Drew are guests on Talking Simpsons, discussing "Three Gays of the Condo" and why it's not great! If you need more of our voices in your life, have a listen here.

Hello and welcome to gayest episode ever, the podcast where we discuss the LGBT episodes of classic sitcoms, and sometimes certain shows glaring lack of those episodes. I'm Drew Mackie. I'm Glenn Lakin. Glenn, what animated series that I guess is technically a sitcom are we discussing this week? Darya, Drew. That's right. And here to discuss it with us is avowed heterosexual Bob Mackey. Boo. No. Hey, everybody. To quote Homer Simpson, I'm not gay, but I'll learn. Bob, along with Henry Gilbert, a previous guest on this show, host the Talking Simpsons podcast. And I think a fun way to introduce you and your work to our audience, if they don't know you already, is to say that Bob basically does what I do, but he's more accomplished. Well, I don't know if I would say that, but I've been doing it for much longer, so that counts for something. Yeah. You do have that T-shirt to Drew, but better. |
| 1:13.8 | I didn't wear it to the recording. |
| 1:15.3 | That's the important thing. |
| 1:16.3 | Yeah, that would have been cruel. |
| 1:17.9 | Welcome to the show. |
| 1:18.8 | I should say, the plan for having you on the show for a long time would be that you would |
| 1:23.8 | be our first heterosexual male guest. |
| 1:32.9 | I am sorry to inform you that that has happened already very quietly with someone where we just, |
| 1:36.2 | we didn't talk about it beforehand, and we still haven't talked about it. But I'm fairly certain this person is a heterosexual now. |
| 1:39.6 | So no fanfare, unfortunately. |
| 1:41.8 | You know, I'll quote The Simpsons again by saying second comes right after first. |
| 1:44.8 | That is a very good point. |
| 1:46.6 | No shame. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, it's going to be straight white guys from like here on out on this podcast. I hope our viewers don't mind. In case people are wondering, Bob and I are not related, he's an E. Mackey and I'm an I. E. Mackey, that probably means we are slightly more related than most |
| 2:01.3 | like people who come from the British Isles, but like not that much, right? |
| 2:05.2 | Yeah, I think there's some sort of Ellis Island mangling of my name. It should be, it probably |
