Bitch Talk Podcast

We can expect world tours from legends Janet Jackson and Madonna (featuring opener Amy Schumer), but can we look forward to them?  On the other hand, Miley Cyrus is beginning to win us over with her burgeoning activism for LGBT youth.  On a personal note, we've discovered Periscope and got a kick out of our first live stream.  Lastly, we have a delicious little chat about the Pixar film collection and its ties to the Bay Area.

What happens when you see a stranger in a bar and realize you recognize them from a match on an online dating site? Also, the FDA has approved the female Viagra pill, but it is more like an antidepressant than an aphrodisiac.  Finally, are thong underwear trending down?  The Millennials of America say yes.

So Mercury was in retrograde a while back, and apparently that explained why everything in our lives turned to shite for a bit.  And on a startling note, Erin and Producer Char recount their morning of being scared shiteless at a 4D experience for the latest Insidious movie. Then, a story about the Entourage movie leads Karyn into a harrowing Splits Update.  Also, just because Beyonce is vegan it doesn’t mean we should be, too.  Or does it?

The Jurassic Park franchise is the latest Hollywood classic to be revamped, rebooted and revisited, and Erin and Producer Char have some critiques on the matter.  Also, actor, writer, comedian and producer Kristina Wong joins us to promote her one-woman show, "The Wong Street Journal," which will be presented at Z Below in SF's Mission District June 17-21.  Follow Kristina Wong on Twitter @MsKristinaWong.

We are pleased to have our dear friend Steve Reddell as our guest this week. You may remember him from episode 18 “Bears, Leather, Baseball." After running into Erin at a music show recently, we knew we had to have him back on the show to shoot the breeze and drink some beer.  Our conversation covers the topics of trendy music, online dating from a man’s perspective, and local sports.

Comedian Frankie Quinones joins us this week, sharing stories of how he got his start at open mic shows in San Francisco to acting in a Funny or Die video with P. Diddy.  After Frankie tells us about one of his favorite pastimes that combines BYOB and IHOP, we have an idea to turn this pastime into a web series called “Ghetto Brunch.”  But wait till you hear him do some of his original characters, though!

New Kids on the Block came to town to put on a show, and Erin and Charlene were there to collect data and report back.  Karyn has solved the mystery of what the plot of the Goonies reboot should be.  Plus, we discovered that we’ve been getting direct messages on our Instagram account, so we decided to read one on the show. And finally, early onset Alzheimer’s is nothing to joke about, but somehow we found a way to make ourselves cry with laughter.

Be nice to people in the service industry and see if it doesn’t get you some free perks... We discuss the benefits of daily yoga, or just doing the splits every day. Also, some long-lasting TV shows got cancelled this year, and we’re not sorry to see them go.  (Umm, American Idol…)  But wait, what is this NoFap movement all about?  Why are some men just saying no to porn and is that really the right choice? And finally, why is Alan Thicke getting busy to his son Robin’s music?

It's been a wacky week.  Erin's got a plethora of tales from her new adventures on Ok Cupid.  Karyn's cat-sitting a pet who is on feline antidepressants, and John Stamos is calling "Bullshit" on the Olsen twins.  In other news, our friends from "Flat 3" have a Kickstarter campaign for a new web series called "Friday Night Bites," and Perlina calls in to share the details.  Plus, we go off on a "Louie" tangent.

Here's another classic episode from April 2014 when we first started recording shows with Producer Char.  This is the episode dedicated to Orgasmic Meditation, or "OM" for short.  Lay back, relax and breathe deeply.  Cheers!
