In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s time for another Let’s Talk About… This time around, the guys discuss the formerly taboo topic of tattoos. From a rite of passage to a significant body mod, listen in as the cubs give their opinions on the art of tattoos. Is it part of gay ritual or just self expression?
Show Topic
LTA… Tattoos
From the dawn of time, we’ve marked up our bodies with artwork of varying kinds. Some temporary and others very permanent. The bear community has its own version of different ink styles as tattoos over the decades. But has tattooing become less prominent today? Were there any fads that came and went?
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 COL Drag Race ‘T-Time’, Gary and Damon show up!! As the All Stars write some lyrics and do some dancing around to yet another song, the guys are not feeling the tropical fantasy. From formulaic expectations to mild drama with an assassin, it’s a very filler-y meh time.
In this episode of COL Drag Race ‘T-Time’, Gary and Damon are horrified! As the All Stars scream their way through a witchy acting challenge, the guys share their opinions (and, boy, do they have some opinions!) on this and their black magic runways. Which queen reigns supreme and which one is burned at the stake?
The Bear and Gaymer community learned this past week about the unexpected passing of Greg Ballard. As we mourn our collective loss, this week we present a COL Flashback to episode 424 from July 23, 2021. Join us as we listen to a special show of COL Episode 424 with the unforgettable Greg Ballard.
If you would like to contribute to the GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses for our beloved Greg Ballard, click here. The donation campaign established will help his cousin cover the cost of funeral expenses with any overage of funds being donated in his name to the Trevor Project, a cause he deeply believed in having experienced prejudice and hatred in his youth.
Greg followed up after recording this episode with us and provided the following comment from his previous collab channel on YouTube to the posting of the original COL424 episode. GAMER: REDEFINED: So much fun being on the show! Great group of guys!

What’s your soundtrack when you’re gettin’ it on?
