Drunk cubs give the best advice
My laptop reached the end of its life Sunday morning and I was pissed. I needed to get a new laptop but, I didn’t want to loose my irreplaceable data, settings, and stored passwords. Then as I was listened to the podcast Monday evening (thank GOD for iPod touch and Wi-fi), I remembered Jeff’s drunken raving about something similar to my problem and a magic solution. I went back and listened to #113 and heard the name from my drunken savior, “Windows Easy Transfer”! I love that program! All 211GB of precious data and settings were transferred within 3hrs. Jeff should get drunk on a podcast every now and again to make them as hilariously memorable as #113. The last show was a little lacking but still pretty good. I miss JJ and no one can replace him but, y’all might want to consider having someone fill in the gap? Thanks for the best podcast ever and I’ll be waiting for the next show.
Besos,

“I listened to episode #071 today at work, and the topic was breaking news when you recorded the podcast, but I think you jumped the gun and overreacted a little bit regarding the DOJ’s DOMA brief. Yeah, it sucks, but I don’t think it’s the “betrayal” that some are making it out to be. Here’s another take on the subject: http://www.facebook.com/l/;http://centerblue.org/2009/06/12/everyone-calm-down-on-obama-dojs-doma-brief/”

I listened to your latest podcast this morning on my way to work.
I am an international listener from Toronto, Canada…I lived the past 9 years in Memphis, TN, but now back at home where I belong.
I think I tuned in, around Jan 2009… Love the show, very well done…I left a review in Feb…looks like mine is the last one to have left a review…
But anyways, love the show, keep it going…And timcub, I bought my G1 a few weeks ago…LOVE IT!! So much better (I think) then the iphone…and I had my heart set on buying the new iphone for about 6 months now…a friend of mine at worked told me about the new google phone, I had never heard of it…he told me to google it…well when I got home that night I did…and WOW…great phone..and I bought mine before he got his…
Timcub needs to do some app reviews each show….
Anyways, must run…hope ya’ll have a good pride month. Our pride week started yesterday, and runs for 10 days…so I guess now its 1.5 weeks…wow things have changed since I left… Topics:

Is the gay populace, n.(look it up) larger than it was 40 years ago or is it perception?

I saw this online today, and thought “What the pa-fuck?!”

http://www.ala.org/ala/alonline/currentnews/newsarchive/2009/june2009/westbendbabybebop060309.cfm

A group calling itself the Christian Civil Liberties Union filed a
claim with the city of Milwaukee seeking the right to burn a public
library’s copy of a young-adult book with gay content, citing that
elderly members of the group suffered personal emotional/mental damage
(to the tune of $120,000) because the book contains “explicitly
vulgar, racial, and anti-Christian” material.

Coachbear Comment on last episode – this lengthy erection issue you guys talked about can be pretty bad the term for it is called “priapism” and there are a LOT of health issues and risks associated with it for a quick definition head here http://www.mondofacto.com/facts/dictionary?pria…

Facebook Message From Ray

I don’t know if you guys have already done a podcast about it, and forgive me if you have, but how about covering a topic about what the appropriate age is for coming out to your family: At what point should it be a matter of “Okay, you’ve been lying to your family for how many years now?” and what are some pros and cons of taking a “It’s none of their business” stance?

Wednesday 06-03-09 – Not to be shown up by Vermont, NH becomes the 3rd State to Legalized Same Sex Marriage by Legislature.
Do you think we could apply the domino theory to the gay marriage legalization blitz that’s happening?
Tweets:
BFIrrera: @boxtech re: domino theory. Yes. They are seeing that the world isn’t ending in these states…and the nationwide backlash ‘gainst Prop 8.30 minutes ago from TwitterFox
Arezzo2: @Boxtech I think the ‘by legislature’ is the detail that counts. Some of the others did it though the courts (I think).40 minutes ago from Tweetie in reply to Boxtech
Alkar: @Boxtech Yes. I think that as states continue to legalize gay marriage the others will be forced to by essentially pear pressure.
KRXQ Sacramento Radio Hosts Encourage Violence Against Transgender Children – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-rowe/krxq-sacramento-radio-hos_b_210637.html
Dan – Did you hear about this latest public display of hatred and ignorance? How sad it is that views like these still exist. If Don Imus could get kicked off the air for what he said that one time, which was stupid and offensive, but was a far cry from this sort of ignorance … then what do we do with radio hosts who literally come right out and say that transgender children (and effeminate boys in general) deserve to have physical violence done against them?
