In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys are joined again by Edward Angelini-Cooke to continue our Landscape of Relationships series. This time the guys discuss trust. For this first part, the guys begin to break down the anatomy of trust. From the romantic to the familial, Ed leads the cubs through the initial tenets as they begin to break down what trust truly is.
Show Topic
Landscape of Relationships: Trust
What is trust?
“Trust is choosing to make something important to you vulnerable to the actions of someone else” – Charles Feldman
“Mistrust is what I shared with you that is important to me is not safe with you.” – Charles Feldman
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys present another “What is…” show. For this episode, the cubs explore the emotion known as gratitude. As Thanksgiving draws ever closer and the pandemic keeps us further apart, the guys reflect on what they are thankful for and what that means to themselves and the world as a whole.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another Let’s Talk About Food. For this one, the guys bring back a familiar topic on the show: Thanksgiving! From tasty turkey to perfect pies, listen in as the cubs gobble up their faves and also discuss Turkey Day during a pandemic.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another Let’s Talk About Sex show. For this one, the guys discuss the concept of sex bubbles or sexpods, a safer sex practice of maintaining social/sexy time with a smaller group of people to help keep yourselves protected during the pandemic. Listen in as the guys tell more about “quaranteaming” and debate on its potential effectiveness. When thinking about it, is it really new or just necessary?
“quarantine pods” as aneffective way to get our social, emotional, familial, and sexual needs met without unnecessarily endangering ourselves or others. Pods are small, self-contained networks of people who limit their non-distanced social interaction to one another—in other words, they’re the small group of people with whom you share air without using breath-control precautions such as masks.
Pods (or “bubbles” or “containers” or “quaranteams”) aren’t just ways for people to have social connections within a pandemic. They also serve an important epidemiological purpose—they help limit the size and spread of outbreaks. That’s one reason why in the Bay Area, where the authors live, public health officials recommend that pods be no larger than 12 people who live across three households, and that pods limit their non-distanced social contact to one another for at least three weeks.
Despite the centrality of sex to our lives, many of us are ashamed of having sexual needs. This is tragic, because we should be no more ashamed of needing sexual contact than we should be of needing food. So, be honest with yourself and others: If you want to form a pod to meet sexual needs, say so, rather than concealing or minimizing that purpose.
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s our What’s Going On for the month of August. For this month, the cubs discuss birthday booboos, visits from family and friends, and colonoscopies. As the guys head into the final third of the year, listen in as their lives continue along similar lines due to the pandemic. Also, did somebody say “thicc”?

Jeff: Happy Birthday Boo Boos, and more of the same.
Damon: Family Visit/Gaming/Lots of YouTube

Always good to send people off.” Oan R. commented: “And now for my rundown of my favorite parts from this video.And now for my rundown of my favorite parts from this video. .
