In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, We’re BACK!! The cubs are once again celebrating Jeff’s birthday with our annual Power Hour drink-a-thon. For this year’s crazy shot-a-minute of drunken debauchery, the cubs are joined by Drew and patrons Grey and Tubbs. Grab a drink or 60 and join us for a drink, drank, drunken time!!
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys talk about the diversity of the bear community. In its over 30 years of existence, the guys give their opinions how much or how little it has changed in terms of inclusion, diversity, body positivity and more. Is this a trend heading towards inclusivity or a sign of the end of bear times?
Woofy – I have a habit of when I get a compliment I have a compulsive need to throw one back, even if I’m not interested. Something I need to work on, to just accept the compliment with a thanks.

To Jeff: RE: COL472: bostonareabear on Bear411: “Are you gonna talk or are you gonna gloss your lips?” Funniest line of the last COL podcast.
To Damon: RE: COL471: Gonzo Gonzales “I just heard your podcast on body positivity and wanna thank you for thinking of me. I was in tears. Love you so much.”

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys interview Jon Landvick, the current Mr. Chicago Cub 2018! From his humblest beginnings in the bear community to his fabulous bearded drag persona, learn more about this adorable cub and what he plans to do with the title (NAB anyone?).
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys use the recent Arrested Movement male nude art project to discuss body positivity in the bear community. Given that bear is sometimes considered a state of mind, the cubs ponder about healthy body image and whether or not this can be done through #thirsttrap and other self-positive concepts.

New comment on “COL455: Title Competing”: James Butterfield
Hey guys! Great show as usual! Some things to clarify – contestants are judged partly on audience reaction, and that we are the entertainment for the weekend. We were told that if we had a fantasy scene we would get rehearsal time, but when we arrived it was just a sound check. So we did have a chance to be on the stage and get a feel for it, but there was no run-through.
As contestants, we were given pink name badges instead of yellow, so everyone knew we were competing. So there was no way a contestant could hide.
As for the money issue – I know I spent quite a bit just preparing for NAB, and I’ve now spent a whole lot more just lining up travel! Also, my tax return is buying my new title vest!
For the raffle ticket sales – my drive for selling was to raise as much money as possible. I really wanted our total to be higher than last year.
Thanks again for the great show!!

If being a part of the Bear community is about one’s mindset, than how does one go about having a healthy sense of self? Is it possible to be happy and see what each of use is in a positive light?
On this episode of Cubs Out Loud, we are joined by a robed Hadrian to talk about the good ole days of bears online. From sneaking onto erotic newsgroups to the dating apps of today, the cubs take a nostalgic trip through the history of a bear’s online life. Plus we go on a bit of a tangent about supporting bear services and content.
Paul Allen Hobby: RE:COL436: Smokin in the Bear’s Dean: Love this episode. I smoke pipes, cigars, and cigarettes and will absolutely say cigars and pipes are for taste, smell, relaxation, and socializing, cigarettes are pure compulsion.
