  • Re: COL535: The Santa Fantasy – Jay Yospa:  A couple of observations: not growing up Christian I could be wrong, but I think in the song I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Santa in this instance isn’t the real Santa but how kids see Santa-which is their Dad in costume. So Mom isn’t poly, she’s kissing her husband in his Santa suit. After all, Dad (and Mom) are ones really putting the presents under the tree. (I hope I’m not shocking anyone with this revelation). Also for movie Santas, it’s tough to beat ex-pro wrestler Goldberg as Santa in Santa’s Slay. A fun, but silly horror movie worth, if nothing else, watching the first scene from.

  • Re: COL418: Handsome vs Sexy – Berty Bertface: Damon hit the nail on the head, handome could mean “physically you are wow and i want to know more”, sexy could mean “you’re hot, lets fxxk”. At least for me.
  • Re: COL450: Gay Genetics – Berty Bertface: Interesting show. Being a gay man has not been as easy as most of my hetero friends. Society made it seem wrong so there was shame, guilt attached to my younger self. Where i see science stepping in would be parents choosing to alter genetic code to avoid homosexual children. For me the question is, because there is not anything wrong with us so why changes us?
  • Re: COL537: What’s Going on December 2019 – Berty Bertface: Happy New Year guys! Thanks for all of your hard work. Cheers
  • Re: COL503: Gayming Characters – Berty Bertface: 1:19:53, Gary spoke about ai. If ai is to be as close to us (humans) as possible, could ai develop sexuality, gender roles etc? Then evolve to develop the need to bond with other ai, and eventually form hetero, gay, bi etc. ai? Sexual orientation is a fundamental component of our identity, so ai may need this too? As far as gayming is concerned for me, am gay and not bothered if my avatar is a trans-biscuit so long as i can achieve my goal completing the objective.
  • Re: COL538: 2019 Year in Review – Berty Bertface: Another great podcast/video guys. Especially Gary’s piece towards the end of the show. Comparison is the thief of joy, no one I’ve known has ever had it all worked out. I believe there is no harm in the admiration of another but be cautious when comparing yourself to them. I hope you guys fullfill your plans for 2020, chin-chin.
  • Re: COL472: Giving/Taking . . . Compliments – Berty Bertface: All three of you are pretty fxxking awesome. Take that as you will.
  • Re: COL471:Where is the body? – Berty Bertface: Not sure anyone is completely fine with their bodies, but it is what it is. It makes me sad to hear about anyone feeling shame towards themselves. My first crush/awakening happened during school, during gym class. I am medium build, he was the big kid in the class/school. Absolutely gorgeous person inside and out. We were friends but i always wanted desperately to tell what he truely meant to me. I am certain many larger men are not aware of their secret admirers, but i wish for this to change so we can all enjoy ourselves and each other.

  • Re: COL ROADTRIP CLAW16Oan R: Lol, watching this three years later. Gary looks different with dark brown hair. Looks like fun.
    • Re: COLTV001: Dim SumOan R: Been wanting to go through your backlog and just binge all your videos. I’ll probably do it
    • Re: COL200: Cubs Against HumanityOan R: Would you guys ever consider revisiting video to review or revise your choices?
  • Re: COL477: Power Hour 6: Jeff’s Birthday Bacchanal – Berty Bertface: Tubs, oh my. . . . 
  • Re: COL509: Are We $elling Out?Berty Bertface: Education has a lot to do with the class system. You seperate the poor from the rich by privatizing “elite” education. Pay public school teachers trash wages with higher class numbers and low resources, private school teachers are at ghe other end of the scale and earn more by default. Essentially the education could be on parr with each other, but the presteige of the certificate at the end of the journey is what people see. Can’t have us grubby poor people mixing with the Jones, it is just not on. The entirety of society works this way, you pay to play. We all breathe the air, and drink the same water (regardless of what the label says), but “gotta keep em separated”.
  • Re: COL525: What is. . . Confidence?Berty Bertface: The “big guy” comment should not be taken as a total negative. As wierd as it seems, it is meant as a compliment (ignorant compliment). not as hey fat guy, but perhaps it puts the spot light on you for that moment and highlights insecurities?
  • Re: COL531: What’s Going On – October 2019Berty Bertface: Thanks guys for the response re. my previous question (giving/receiving), it was far too general to be fair. As you guys mentioned it is totally dependant on the person and the situation. It was more centered around your own personal experiences. Of my small circle of friends, all are givers; including me. You can call me Bert anytime 😉 Cheers!!!
  • Re: COL533: What’s Going On – November 2019Berty Bertface: Happy Birthday, to you all.

  • Name: Henry    Message: Hi, guys. Still enjoying your podcast after all these years. (Although the one about trans acceptance did seem to go on & on and got on my nerves. Not sure if that’s because I’m personally uncomfortable with the subect, or just due to my habitual short attention span.)   Anyhoo (to quote Damon), your call in COL515 for suggestions of topics for future shows made me think of one. Wonder what it was. In the time it took to seek out your website, go to Contact Us, fill in the top of this form, and type the preceding two paragraphs, it completely slipped my mind. [sigh] Age takes its toll…  

Oh yeah, that’s it! You jokingly mentioned being together in a home, 50 years from now, and still putting out the podcast. It immediately brought to mind the subject of retirement homes for gay men, something that has been on my mind as I have aged. I have found none in the Atlanta area, and I wonder if they exist in other locales. If so, perhaps you could bring in a representative from one (a resident would be great) to talk about the concept, the demand, the challenges & rewards of getting them up & running, the general atmosphere in such a place, and whatever else y’all and the guest might think appropriate. None of us is getting younger, and “what do I do now?” is a question that increasingly comes up.  Thanx for considering this. And keep on ‘castin’! Henry

  • Curvesandcrevices: Hey COL Hosts! I wanted to let you know how much I am appreciating the new format, now that I have listened to a few episodes. I thought I would really miss the What’s Going On and Tumblr segments each week, but it’s been really great the way you’ve changed it. I  think the focus on the guests or topic on the shows is perfect, and the catchup show being monthly and without a topic gives it much more room to be its own thing. Change is hard, but done right, is so worthwhile. Always appreciate your efforts; keep it up! /Chris
