In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, believe it or not – we have a new On the Road show! After a multi-year hiatus [thanks COVID *sarcastic*], Damon and Gary report from Orlando Florida on their experiences at World Bear Weekend 2022. Let’s just say things did not go as planned. From delayed flights to bears sweatin’ in the heat.
In this episode of COL Drag Race ‘T-Time’, Gary and Damon return to the legends as the All-Stars keep going and going and going. From fashion reimagings to a Mean Girls Christmas Horror extravaganza, listen in as the guys give their slays and throwaways. As they appear to be the only ones actually critiquing the All Winners, let them ho-ho holler and give their opinions on where the queens are going as we inch ever so closer to the finale.
In this episode of COL Drag Race ‘T-Time’, Gary and Damon finally get a full-on view of the “game within a game” that has been hinted at all season long. During this lip-sync smackdown spectacular, the guys flap their gums as the eliminated queens face off in one song after the other after the other. Which queen lip-smacks their way to the top and back into the competition?
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys cap off the ending of Pride Month with a look to the future. Stonewall was approximately 50 years ago, so the cubs peer into their crystal balls to imagine what the world will be like in another 50 years. From the good, the bad and the ugly, listen as the guys share their predictions on the status of the GLBTQ+ community as they become bitter old men.

50 Years From Now
Some might say a lot has happened in the 50 years since the Stonewall Riots; others might say not enough. What if we attempt to shift our gaze into a crystal ball and forecast what may happen in the next 50 years to come?
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.
Social Media Comment:
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.”
