This week, we\'re thrilled to welcome the hilarious comedy stylings of America\'s Gaysian Sweetheart, Alec Mapa, to the Swish Edition! This new dad talks to us from his kitchen while making turkey meatloaf for his son and he tells us all what to expect on the big gay cruise later this month; gives his recommendations for what to pack (i.e. condoms, lube and over-the-top, elaborate costumes!); why he misses the lovely cast of Ugly Betty; how parenting has completely changed his life (his 6 year old is a straight black kid who is obsessed with boobs, mind you); and all about his upcoming New York City show, Alec Mapa: Baby Daddy. And if the boys weren\'t excited enough to speak with Alec via Skype from his home in Los Angeles, they\'ll be tickled pink when they get to meet one of their favorite funny men onboard Atlantis\' Allure of the Seas cruise later this month, on which Alec is a featured performer. Can\'t wait!

Also on this episode, we bring you the music of singer, songwriter, actor and activist, Justin Utley. Not only do we have two of his freshest tracks--"Nothing This Real" and "Great Escape"--but we\'ve got a Skype chat with Justin all about being an ex-Mormon, his quest for federal protections and equality for LGBT people, composing for films, his love of the stage, and his unique blended sound that he best describes as alt-country-rock. Justin is a great guy and his infectious music might stick with you for awhile.
