This week, we tackle gay stereotypes... and wrestle them to the ground. We address a new study that finds that bears suffer more low self-esteem than their non-bear counterparts, and we dig into how a study that connects childhood poverty to adult economic hardship confronts stereotypes about LGBT wealth.

In this week's very discursive "Unedited," Neil commits to his "Rent" obsession and Cody's thought train has a hard time leaving the station.
