If you’re enjoying the show, we’d love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts. It makes a huge impact on the success of the podcast, and we love reading every one of your reviews!

We discuss how Jason was surprised to find out his girlfriend doesn’t know how to write a check, who big-timed us more on Friday night, DJ Mel or the ice truck guy, and whether Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth is a bigger death than Jimmy Buffett.

It is Tuesday on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast. Welcome back after the long Labor Day Weekend. If you have never heard of Burning Man, it is a festival way out in the desert in Nevada. It has been going on for days now but people were stuck at Burning Man because the land was too soggy to drive on and people could not get out. Well that did not stop Chris Rock and Diplo. The two walked six miles away from Burning Man and caught a ride from fans at the back of a pick up truck. Drake gave a fan who spent his furniture money on Drake concert tickets, $50,000 for the love. Tory Lanez recently married the mother of his child, Raina Chassagne. Tory Lanez is serving ten years in prison for the shooting that injured rapper Megan Thee Stallion. Beyoncé’s birthday was yesterday while she performed in LA. The international icon turned forty-two years old. Beyoncé had a special guest, with Diana Ross joining her on stage to wish her a happy birthday. Jeff Johnson is back on with The RSMS Crew to tell us Three Things We Need to Know. He spoke about Coach Deion Sanders' impressive  win this weekend against TCU means a lot, not only for University of Colorado but to change the culture of coaching in college football. AND MUCH MORE FUNNY!!!

Welcome to Episode 140 of Painted Trash Podcast: An LGBTQIA+ Podcast of  Faggotry, Hilarity, and Discourse!  Have you noticed in the last few years more male presenting folks seem to be going for the full monty on film?  For decades female presenting folks have been baring it all while their counterpart's bits were very rarely ever seen, but the times -- they are a-changin'... kind of!

This week Mark & Casey are discussing the evolution and, frank-ly (pun intended!), popularity of showing the phallus to shock the audience, move, deepen intimacy, or, in some cases, increase the comedy.  The Boys sure have taken notice and have some thoughts and feelings.  Along with the rise of actors supposedly "baring it all" is the use of prosthetics in the majority of cases.  Is it still "baring it all"? Who has actually let their truth shine and who hasn't. Why the lies and fakes?? The tea is being spilled, the diapers are filling up, and The Boys are giving us some of their favorite occurrences.  What are yours??  Be sure to email in yours!

But first, in the Trash Pick-Up,  The Boys are catching up on several events during the week which found them at the theatre and on the couch together.  This week's Trash Talk topics include a "not hungry" State Assemblyman, an "announcement" from a world class DJ while discussing his sexual history, and, of course, some post-Oscars discussion while discussing an announcement from a well known stylist to the stars.

Of course Mark & Casey are giving you a couple of recommendations this week as well -- for your Spring and Summer Playlists!

So put on your fresh diaper, pour a glass of your current favorite port vintage, and take a seat at the table with your GBFFs.  It's a topical and titillating new episode! Let's Paint!

Let The Boys of Painted Trash know your thoughts on this week's topics and episode! What street festivals do you attend? Do you like street fests? What is your favorite festival??

Have a topic idea or story you recommend for Trash Talk, be sure to send it in to our email or through the "contact us" on our website.

Welcome to Roadcase!!  We're very excited to have the extraordinarily talented Patrick Holland on the show. Primarily known for his electronic music as Project Pablo, Patrick has just released his first guitar-driven, indie pop album entitled You're The Boss. Having spent years touring the world playing DJ sets and festivals, Patrick became disenchanted with the Electronica scene and has taken a turn inward, writing and performing his own songs, and to his own surprise, finally put his own voice out there, singing his own lyrics. The contrast of these two worlds is striking yet Patrick is up for the challenge, confronting his own demons head on as he moves forward in his most authentic way possible. It's wonderful and refreshing -- and the finished product of Patrick's initial foray into this new lane has yielded a beautiful, melodic, and wholly original musical effort.  So hop on the Roadcase bus to learn about this intriguing and thoughtful artist, Patrick Holland. It's gonna be a great ride!!
