Friday 506: Plastic Head, Equal Something Something, and William Eyelash (John Patrick | Dean Sage)
You know the patriarchy is on it's last leg when it can't handle the decision to make highly gendered, gender-normative, heteronormative toys taking a look around themselves and deciding that potatoes probably don't need highly gendered performance when children play with them. But you know, that's what happened when Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head transitioned to just be Potato Head. You would think they would get tired at some point, or break their pearls off from clutching them for so hard...or maybe that's just our naive hope. It's not the representation we deserve, but it is a step down the right path, or as much as global capitalist organization can be counted upon to enact. From there we cover the amazing prospect of an Equality Act passing Congress sometime in the next...sometime. And why these small steps really are important to the day-to-day lives of Queer individuals in this country, and hopefully all others. Finally John and Dean talk about the new Billie Eilish documentary. They are strictly divided along artist/producer lines. Dean identified way too much with Finneas, except for the incredible difference in ability to produce number one tracks and albums. More the annoyed at the artist for being too picky and not wanting to actually record the music, for their music album. John disagrees, but he's not writing these show notes. It's a great watch that only took us three tries to get through. But it brought up major Britney vibes from the still present need of record labels and even fans to posses pop stars, sometime bodily. Go watch it!

Friday 505: Highs and Lows of Being Gay in Bars (John Patrick | Dean Sage)
Trigger Warning: In this episode John and Dean talk about John's battle with addiction and his journey through recovery. Please listen if you can, but if you will be triggered to use by descriptions of drug use and their effects, please keep yourself safe.
John and Dean are sad to see one of their beloved Gay Bars, The Toasted Walnut, close due to the pandemic. It was one of the best spots in the Gayborhood for Dean, and a place of some really great memories, including a Karaoke night that John and Dean loved. We're sad to see it go, and we hope that after the pandemic has eased its grip on public spaces, something else will take its place as Lesbian bars are being hit the hardest. After that, John shares a very hard story, his story with addiction. It started almost too easily, but then grew into a life altering battle that nearly claimed his own life twice. Dean share his own experience with substance use, both in his family and for himself. This is an important story to tell, as it may help others who are struggling seek help, and maybe keep others from repeating some of the same, naive and sex-focused mistakes that John underwent. If you need help, it's always there, but asking is the hardest part.

Friday 504: Free Britney, Free B-Jobs and Buy John Waters (John Patrick | Dean Sage)
The new Britney documentary dropped, and John was awake at the exact moment to watch it! (Actually we spend a nice weekend afternoon, but blood-shot and bleary-eyed John makes a better story.) What happened was appalling, but to see it played back to us all over gain, especially for Dean who can now look back at just what kind of world the 2000s was, it's even more infuriating. The way that women are treated and the lengths that the media goes to create sensation, while still happening today, seems to have been a fever pitch then. But we don't stay on that horrible realization the whole time. Come, hear the story of how John got kicked out of a leather bar for being on top. Dean, his Ex, and dance floor fuckery. And how you can buy a personal nightmare tour with John Watters himself!
