In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys are joined by guest Michael Q to discuss recent changes to the donation of blood. With COVID-19 affecting almost all avenues of life, the FDA removed its previous limitations; shortening the amount of time men who have sex with men are eligible to give blood. Listen as the cubs discuss and share their opinions on these restrictions and what it means for the gay male community.

Re: COL429: Power Hour 5: Drunk Cubs, The Next Birthday Bash – Oan R. Tacos and enchiladas. And more shirtless Gary.
Re: COL523: Power Hour 7: Jeff’s Birthday Basharino – Oan R. I’m scared. Drunk me is on the internet. Lol. For the record, I was good on shots until I reached the minute of my birthday. Then started skipping. (I also might’ve been trying to hold some of it down)
Name: Henry Message: Hi, guys. Still enjoying your podcast after all these years. (Although the one about trans acceptance did seem to go on & on and got on my nerves. Not sure if that’s because I’m personally uncomfortable with the subect, or just due to my habitual short attention span.)Anyhoo (to quote Damon), your call in COL515 for suggestions of topics for future shows made me think of one. Wonder what it was. In the time it took to seek out your website, go to Contact Us, fill in the top of this form, and type the preceding two paragraphs, it completely slipped my mind. [sigh] Age takes its toll…
Oh yeah, that’s it! You jokingly mentioned being together in a home, 50 years from now, and still putting out the podcast. It immediately brought to mind the subject of retirement homes for gay men, something that has been on my mind as I have aged. I have found none in the Atlanta area, and I wonder if they exist in other locales. If so, perhaps you could bring in a representative from one (a resident would be great) to talk about the concept, the demand, the challenges & rewards of getting them up & running, the general atmosphere in such a place, and whatever else y’all and the guest might think appropriate. None of us is getting younger, and “what do I do now?” is a question that increasingly comes up. Thanx for considering this. And keep on ‘castin’! Henry
Name: Mark Message: Thanks again for restoring a button to download the podcasts. Could you do that for episodes 512-516? Thanks! UrsusMajr (Mark)

re: COL521: What is…Respect? – @GBearTrekkie65: Replying to @cubsoutloud: Is the clothing optional gay campground mentioned in the episode The Woods Campground in Lehighton, PA?
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys take a fan’s request and come up with a potential new ongoing segment. In this inaugural episode of “What is?”, the cubs discuss self-love. From describing the term to discussing applications in our lives, the guys give you some personal advice on how to love yourself. ‘Cus if you can’t love yourself, how in the hell can you love somebody else?
Show Topic
New Series! What is… Self-Love?
Discussion of the term ‘self-love’. Do we agree as co-hosts on what all is involved with loving ourselves?
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s another Bear Experience Action Readiness, or BEAR, show. On the heels of the 15th Drenched Fur and just before some head to CLAW, the cubs reminisce about their favorite bear event/bear run adventures. From deep in the forests of gay campgrounds to the cozy home of a friendly potluck, the guys tell their tales of things that stuck out for them…in a good way.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s our What’s Going On episode for the month of February. The cubs take some time to share what happened with them during the month of love! From new jobs and bear runs to TV frustrations and Broadway, take a moment to get a glimpse of the guys’ lives so far this year. Also, daddies in underwear, Russian dolls, and a definition of THICC await.
What’s Going On?
Jeff: The shortness of today’s seasons
Damon: NABW2019 & Hamilton
Gary: Busy Up and Down Month

Name: George Message: Hey CoL, I just discovered your podcast and was listening to the virgin episode. While I noticed the gang talked a lot about emotional comfort and safety. I wished you all had spent a little time talking physical safety at bear events. While most folks are there for a good time, not everyone has good intentions.
