COL818: The Future of Bear Runs

Leave a comment

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys talk about the future of bear runs. With the community being around for almost 40 years, the cubs debate the number and need for these social gatherings that have been a pillar of beardom for quite some time. Are they still serving a purpose or will the future present the end for these events?

Show Topics

It’s 2026 and we’re coming up on 40 years of the Bear community. Early on we adopted the biker and leather culture aspects of gatherings called ‘runs’. And yes, bears are not necessarily known for running…more like wandering and grazing. So it’s five years after the world wide pandemic shutdown. Is there a future for bear runs? And if so, is it on the rise, a decline, or have they flatlined?

Here are some questions to consider:

  • How many are there now?
  • Who is attending?
  • Are they affordable?
  • What purpose do they serve now?

COL814: LTAF: Super Souper Bowls

Leave a comment

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, it’s another Let’s Talk About Food. With some big sporting event on the horizon, the guys dig out their souper bowls and discuss their favorite broths, chowders, stews and bisques. From creamy to meaty, it’s bound to be a hearty treat for the cubs to put in their mouths.

Show Topics

When it comes to sports, we’re known for being athletic supporters. And of course the best way to prepare for the big ‘gay-m’ day, is to discuss our Super Souper Bowls of course!

Wikipedia soups

Some soups are served with large chunks of meat or vegetables left in the liquid, while others are served as a broth. A broth is a flavored liquid usually derived from boiling a type of meat with bone, a spice mix, or a vegetable mix for a period of time in a stock.

A potage is a category of thick soups, stews, or porridges, some have meat and vegetables boiled together with water until they form a thick mush.

Bisques are heavy cream soups traditionally prepared with shellfish, but can be made with any type of seafood or other base ingredients. 

Cream soups are dairy based soups. Although they may be consumed on their own, or with a meal, the canned, condensed form of cream soup is sometimes used as a quick sauce in a variety of meat and pasta convenience food dishes, such as casseroles. Similar to bisques, chowders are thick soups usually containing some type of starch.

While soups are usually heated, some soups are served only cold and other soups can optionally be served cold.

  • Jeff: Loaded Baked Potato Soup
  • Gary: Broccoli Cheddar Soup – Panera Bread
  • Damon: Autumn Squash Soup – Panera Bread
