The legislative war against the LGBTQ+ community has been relentless and according to powerhouse civil rights attorney Alejandra Caraballo it may get even worse next year. Conservative republicans have introduced over 500 state bills this year alone to deny healthcare, threaten businesses and allies, and to try to force LGBTQ+ folks back into closets and shadows. But there are things we can do - and the first thing is to congratulate Alejandra. 

This conversation was recorded in June (2023) when most of the legislative proposals were complete for the year. 

See links below for updated legislative actions and stats and other resources.

Another mini episode, but this is a mini on one of the largest movies evermade (if you count the value/mass of a movie based on how large the boats are in the film).  Evan almighty is the sequel to Bruce Almighty, and doesn't include Jim Carrey, cost 175 million dollars, was aimed at children,  and is VERY religious...Who would watch that? Oscar and Carl try to figure that out.

On the heels of the infamous Oscar slap, Clean Comedians CEO Adam Christing stops by the show to discuss comedy that doesn't inspire heated reactions. According to Christing, Clean Comedians requires its performers to avoid Profanity, Prejudice, and Politics. Christing says we need to remember that ‘fun’ is not a 4-letter word and that we can lift people and bring them together with positive humor.  Briana agrees but counters that 4-letter words are fun and can also bring people together. Christing shares his career journey and Briana finds out if the podcast passes the clean test.

Welcome to Episode 101 (Season 3, Episode 10)!   This week is full of nuggets, so be sure you've got a fresh one.  It's getting colorful this week!

Kicking off this week's episode is an brand new taste test on air-- and this one is an all around winner from an epic company whose logo includes a straw hat with freckles.  The taste test is a lesser know product from this crowd-pleasing baker.  In this week's Trash Pick-Up, Mark is reconnecting with some old friends whom he hasn't seen since pre-pandemic over some food and Casey is celebrating a date night with Miss Jeffrey.

In this week's Mid-Section, The Boys are discussing all the happenings and tea from the 2022 Oscars.  It was a night of many firsts.  There were some predictable winners, a couple of surprises, a snub or two, and of course... the slap seen round the world.  Its turned into a hot button conversation laden with no shortage of opinions, but Mark & Casey are weighing in with their own unique perspectives, thoughts, and feelings.  Never short on an opinion, these two are putting it all the way out there.  Additionally The Boys are highlighting the highs of the night and selecting their favorite moment.  This ones full of thoughts, opinions, and reactions.

Then it's on to Trash Talk!  After the extended Mid-Section, Mark & Casey are doing a shorter 2 quick topic segment this week.  Mark is bringing in the hypocrisy of the publicity stunt pulled by Ron DeSantis when signing into law 'Don't Say Gay" Bill, and moments later violating the executed bill which should be carrying hefty fines to him.  Afterward, Casey has the story of a guest on a cruise ship who gets cruised and has some ideas on how he an capitalize on the experience in true trash fashion.

Lastly, in this week's Recommendations (or is it wreck-o-mendations), in a Painted Trash first, Mark is recommending an app ad Casey has invested in a 14hr. book on tape he's living for.

This week is a topical, pointed, thoughtful, and often hilarious episode full of the discourse you know only Mark & Casey can provide.  This one is sure to get you thinking, feeling, and of course laughing! So fill up your port vintage, grab your paint supplies and get ready -- it's an all new Painted Trash episode with your GBFs!!

It was the slap heard 'round the world and it seems impossible to escape the ongoing discussions about it. Who was right? Who was wrong? What happens now?

Jay and Kay give their insights and reflect on what should have been remembered as a groundbreaking and historical night that has instead turned into fodder for gossip rags and memes on social media.  

The duo explore how context triggers a deeper understanding and compassion towards everyone involved while emphasizing the need to keep our collective humanity in the spotlight despite all these crazy events. They also discuss masculinity, the concept of toxic sensitivity, and how at the end of the day, one must lead with kindness.

It was the slap heard 'round the world... but was it real or Memorex? And was Will Smith's apology genuine? Andrew and Jerry are joined by Christian Toto from HollywoodInToto.com to break down everything about the Oscars, from the hosting abilities to the controversies that go well-beyond Will Smith smacking Chris Rock.  Then they delve into the prism with which Hollywood views America generally, and how outlets like the Daily Wire and actors like Nick Searcy are changing that.  It's the 50th Anniversary of the Godfather, and they discuss the legacy of that seminal film and answer the question of whether the Godfather can be made today.

Jerry and Andrew also talk about the latest calls for a 4th Covid Shot, a second booster, and what this augers for the future.
