Cultural Threeway

The Bitches are deep into the journey to the Emerald City of Mental Health, but when the Yellow Brick Road requires 90 minutes of meditation, you can bet we have opinions. We need practical self care for the working Munchkin. So let’s click your heels three times and skip to the end. Daniel is trying his best to be the best witch possible but when someone tells him he should consider cutting out caffeine he’s about to show his true colors. Max hops on his broomstick to avoid any more cooking that isn’t game day snacks. He loves himself a Friendsgiving, but he has his own coven to cook for. Then the Bitches realize Christmas is all around them as trees appear in the most curious of places but first we have a new Gay Holiday, the Wicked movie. We peek behind the curtain and explore everything that is making this a true cultural phenomenon. Please cheers quietly!

The Bitches are trying their best to remove the “I told you so” look off their (two) faces, but alas next year looks to be another dumpster fire. In a bid for positivity/ sanity/ sobriety/ productivity they ask the question, “was this a good week or a bad week?” Clutch your pearls, the answers may shock. Daniel has escaped into all things green, and its not just his new vegan diet, as the Wicked premiers gives us looks so stunning they won’t just make you melt, they’re almost pornographic. We just had to dip our toes into it. Max finds himself bombarded by British Christmas adverts and taking this as a sign just gives up and dives head first into the Holidays. It’s just a pity gift shopping can be such a pain in the ass… literally. Where’s Mrs. Claus when you need her. Then the Bitches, fresh from a Friendsgiving to remember, discuss all things Holidays; do Fall decorations provide that nice soft landing, how long can you truly keep the season going for and what is the balance between pacing and embracing? Cheers!

The Bitches are here, they're queer, and no matter how this country votes, we aren’t going anywhere. Want to know how we really, really, really, truly feel? Listen to the first five minutes. Daniel decides to leave his weighted blanket and take to nature to clear his head … hard liquor counts as nature doesn’t it? It has to come from somewhere. Max goes full British and chooses to focus on this week's good news; the Hubs has won reelection and Bug had a great vet check up… this family isn’t going anywhere. Then the Bitches choose to turn away from hate and anger and focus on some self care; reaching out to the pod family to hear how they’re coping with a truly dark week. STAY SAFE! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

The Bitches are learning a valuable lesson about reading social cues and discover that moment when you transition into creep. A little concerning for us when you consider this is our 91st episode. Daniel has never wanted blood so much in his life as he spends the week in a mandatory training (no, not a drag queen). With his heart now two sizes too small, will he find the spirit of Mariah before the Holidays? Max is questioning his entire existence as he discovers the s**tiest Gwyneth Paltrow story… that happened THREE MONTHS AGO! While his Gwy-Gwy Appreciation Card is on the verge of being revoked, does he potentially smell a new musical? Then the Bitches talk frankly about the concerns and fears regarding the election (is it over yet), how they’re navigating this final week, and how Spooky Season provided a welcome distraction from a potential apocalypse. CHEERS!

It’s a Bitches have a brand new episode for you but we want to make sure it’s ok with you first, do we have your consent, have you had your morning coffee? We do? Oh good because things are about to get kinky. Daniel is sitting resplendent in a new Era’s tour outfit, he looks amazing and doesn’t want your opinion, he REPUTATION can handle it. Max may have finally reached race weekend but his health and wellbeing marathon is far from over. As he focuses on completions he’s aiming for Daddy but he’s screaming mother. Then the Bitches, or should we say witches, discuss Spooky Season and what is the bare minimum one needs to do to celebrate the gayest of holidays. How can we even think about tricks and treats when the Holidays are around the corner? GO VOTE!

It’s a Bitches With Beards homecoming! It’s been a month since these two have been together and it literally feels like the world has fallen apart without them. How ever did you cope gentle listeners? Exactly how many celebrities exactly have died in the last 28 days? Daniel returns from London and Paris mentally more relaxed and feeling in a much better place. It’s a pity that place is bed to sort out that pesky jetlag. He’s ready to air his dirty laundry, which he seems to have an endless amount. Max has also had his soul replenished from a trip back to England (and a dip in the Atlantic ocean) but he’s pretty sure the Hubs needs another vacation (or two). Just so long as it doesn’t involve a Cornish fishing village he might be ok. Then the Besties reflect on their respective vacations, what they learned, what they left behind, and the things they want to take forward into the rest of year as the best and bitchiest selves. GO VOTE!

The Bitches are here with the last of our vacation episodes. We are joined by the wonderful Dustin from the Rewatch Recap podcast who is here to help us channel surf through the Queer Television. Daniel finds that all roads come back to Will and Grace. If only he ends up with Will’s career success and not his dating life. Max discusses the fine balance between queer representation on television that moves the cause forward, without drawing attention to his little clossetted self. Dustin explains how television became a life line, bringing some of the modern world to his small town upbringing. Then the Besties remember a time when Reality television was actually good for society, how progress can quickly become problematic and, most importantly, who had them reaching for the sofa cushions. Cheers!

The Bitches are here with the second of our vacation episodes. We are joined by the wonderful Mama D from the Petals of Support podcast, who helps us produce our warmest hug of an episode EVER. Daniel has to hold back from turning this into a full on session about his mother. Max continues his exploration of American culture in a bid to discover why this country calls itself UNITED. Mama D discusses how her upbringing resulted in such an open mind, and how she shares it with friends and family. Then the new Besties explore how we can move forward during these times, while remaining true to ourselves. Cheers!

The Bitches are here with the first of our vacation episodes. We are joined by our very not gay but very funny best friend Frank, from the Silver Screeners podcast who is here to take us on a journey through Queer Cinema. Daniel reveals how he was introduced to the cinema through his own personal Golden Girl. Max discusses how drag brought queer culture into the public eye and onto cinema screens… one hundred years ago. Frank breaks down the secret history of queer representation in mainstream Hollywood, and it turns out we’ve been hiding in plain sight. Then the trio of Besties discuss the queer movies that opened their eyes, expanded their minds and maybe still need to be discovered. Cheers!

The Bitches are getting themselves vacation ready, sorry, HOLIDAY ready. They are heading to England after all and have to get the language right. Work may be putting up a fight and they may be wondering why they’re even bothering, but ignore that, we have some VERY exciting news (something has to be). Daniel starts Spooky Season early with the terrifying realization that he’s become his mother; if they double date then he’ll need his glasses. This could get confusing after a couple of drinks. Max is preparing to face his past but also his future; he’s just gotta make sure these positive changes don’t make him a boring old fart. Hello to responsible adulting. Then the Besties find themselves facing a week where culture hasn’t mothered. Tupperware and cats memes aside, they decide to discuss the end of the year and how they plan to make the Holiday season slay the house down boots. GO VOTE!
