  • Hey Cubs,This is Lawdogg 28. I was on ustream tonight listening to the show. It was very cool to see and hear all the behind the scenes work that goes into your podcast.

    Now I don’t know if you remember me, but I sent an email response into the show awhile back. It was during the infamously heated podcast between Griff and Jeff.  I am the DC attorney that wrote the ridiculously long email message in response to the show with the Fearless reference. Well the next show following, Griff you made an invitation to have me as a legal guest and/or small legal segment sometime in the future. Well if the offer still stands I would love to help out the show anyway I can.

    So just let me know.

    Anyway keep up the great work guys.

    Also I wanted to bring up this point. In the straight world do they differentiate between “hook-up” sites and “dating” sites. Most of my straight friends, ages 27-35,  go on dating sites to hook up and they go on hook up sites to hook up. I think we as gay men are conditioned to engage in courtship rituals differently then straight people for many reasons one of which is due to the fact many gay men are closeted. Thus as a result the lines of dating and hooking up are blurred because of the mere fact when you are in the closet you are not being true to yourself and therefore lack the capacity to be in healthy relationship.  That is why for me when I was younger my only “gay” outlet for me was gay sex. Nothing else in my world as a young adult was gay, no gay friends, no gay role modles, nothing except for gay sex. So what do you think.

    PS-  Love the weight lose stuff. I know that we as bears take pride in our size but alternatively there are health issues we must be cognizant of. Griff my only advice to you is that if you want to keep the weight you are losing off you MUST workout. That means, lift weights, run, bike, walk,dance, yoga et al as long as you do some movement. I do power yoga three times a week and lift weight at least once a week. Also walk 1.6 miles a day to the DC metro.

    PSS- A possible topic could be “racisim in the bear community”. What you said tonight about JJ being dicked around, and not in the fun way, by the Bear411 webmaster is fucking sad and that sort of shit pisses me off.

    Peace.
