  • COL629: It’s the Holiday Season – Oan. R.: The day wasn’t just chosen. Christmas, like a lot of other Christian holidays, appropriates a lot of things from pagan rituals and beliefs most likely because they wanted to cater the holiday to encompass other’s rituals (stopping now because I really don’t want to get anybody in trouble with the Christian’s)

COLFB424: BEAR: Play Lists

Leave a comment

The Bear and Gaymer community learned this past week about the unexpected passing of Greg Ballard. As we mourn our collective loss, this week we present a COL Flashback to episode 424 from July 23, 2021. Join us as we listen to a special show of COL Episode 424 with the unforgettable Greg Ballard.

If you would like to contribute to the GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses for our beloved Greg Ballard, click here. The donation campaign established will help his cousin cover the cost of funeral expenses with any overage of funds being donated in his name to the Trevor Project, a cause he deeply believed in having experienced prejudice and hatred in his youth. 

Greg followed up after recording this episode with us and provided the following comment from his previous collab channel on YouTube to the posting of the original COL424 episode.  GAMER: REDEFINED: So much fun being on the show! Great group of guys!

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys continue the Bear Experience Action Readiness series, AKA BEAR, with a new topic. They are joined by special guest Greg from Men of the Den to discuss playlists: the music kind, not who you have planned to boink. What music do you play on your roadtrips? What’s your soundtrack when you’re gettin’ it on?

In its over 30 years of existence, the guys give their opinions how much or how little it has changed in terms of inclusion, diversity, body positivity and more.

  • Re: COL472: Giving/Taking… Compliments
    • Woofy – I have a habit of when I get a compliment I have a compulsive need to throw one back, even if I’m not interested. Something I need to work on, to just accept the compliment with a thanks.

Social Media Comment:

  • To Jeff: RE: COL472: bostonareabear on Bear411: “Are you gonna talk or are you gonna gloss your lips?” Funniest line of the last COL podcast.
  • To Damon: RE: COL471: Gonzo Gonzales “I just heard your podcast on body positivity and wanna thank you for thinking of me. I was in tears. Love you so much.”

Show Topic

More Fats, More Femmes – we like to see diversity, but …

    • Where is the diversity in the Bear Community?
    • How much have things changed in nearly 30 years?
    • Are we satisfied with what is represented today?
    • Is Tumblr the new bear porn for showing the reality of bodies and sex?
