This is a great article on using yourself as a reference point to assess your friendships with others. (If we want honesty from others we have to make sure we are honest.)

  • Advice my Mom gave me growing up that I didn’t always take, “stick with the winners.”  I have adapted it to, “Stay close to the ones who know where they are headed.” I don’t like the winners/losers dichotomy, but it has the same idea. 
  • Like D&D, be mindful about who you party with.

COL459: FOSTA Impact

Leave a comment

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys talk about the current FOSTA legislation that has recently caused a stir on the internet. If you were a fan of our Love on Craigslist topic from several years ago, you will find that the cubs will no longer be able to bring that back due to this new legislation. What does FOSTA mean and what are the potential impacts on other social networking and personal ad sites?

    • Victor Guerrero – Turn ons: seeing my husbears bare butt in bed while he’s sleeping, being both big and small spoon and kisses in the back of my neck. Turn offs: tickling. Didn’t experience anything in school sexually, But my turn ons have changed Immensely through out the years…to type of people I’m attracted to, to what kinda of kinks or actions I find hot…. I have became very open minded and realized each is their own
    • Michael Quinichett – Great show guys! Generally, I don’t like wearing deodorant. I will use essential oils that have a “woodsy” man-like smell, like cedarwood, myrrh, or frankincense. It is a MUST for me at bear/leather events.

Dan McCord: So, I love when you guys do this series. As someone who only recently started watching RPDR, you guys are a great addition to watching the show.

I have a few things I want to say/ask.

  1. Damon, I’m not sure what was going on but your mic kept going in and out. I’m not sure if you could hear that or not. 🙂
  2. I can tell in your voices that you really enjoy talking about this show. You seem much more excited than you do on the regular COL shows sometimes.
  3. Have you had any of the RPDR contestants or judges contact you to say they’ve listened to the show?

Thanks! 🙂
