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!

The Bitches have truly given up fighting the fight; Politics is the culture of the week. Though honestly, what is there to discuss? Or better yet, not to discuss. Ok, maybe whether or not a politics themed bar in DC is the dumpster fire we need. It's all fun and games until you give a twink a gavel. Daniel survives and thrives in a busy work week (thank you martinis). Though it didn’t leave him in the billionaires club; he is still living his Coastal Grandma fantasy… it's just a pity it’s Grey Gardens. Cat giblets or pate anyone? Max continues to pay tribute to the greatest of Coastal Grandma cooks (cough, Dame Ina Garten) as he takes a Thanksgiving in Summer theme and runs with it. Is that meat cats and dogs or are you just that skilled at preparing Tofu. How good is that? Then the Besties reflect on their beliefs and ask the hard question, will Wonder Woman and Taylor Swift entering the ring truly affect the outcome of this election? GO VOTE!

The Bitches temporarily stepped away from the Virginia wineries and are back in the Diane Keaton Haberdashery and Podcast Studio; their little slice of burnt orange heaven. Who’s even thinking about wearing white after Labor Day when we have all these Autumnal shades to pick from? Daniel is torn between performing for his fans or appearing at the VMAs, or is he just trying to pick a nice pair of pajamas… it’s a real Sophia Petrillo’s Choice. Max’ Daddy Transitional Phase gains momentum as he spends an afternoon in the suburbs playing card games and then completes some First Aid training. Mouth to mouth anyone? Now he can save a life… if he so chooses. Then the Besties explore some Gay Math; are we being priced out of culture, can two bottoms make a top, and does a Democrat and a Republican combined make a moderate? Answers after a glass of wine. Cheers!

The Bitches are bent over, lubed up and ready to take in some new energy. Summer makes a brief attempt at a last minute apology tour, but it’s just a little too late. You’ve had your chance, we need to move on. Can everyone else smell the spiced apple or are we having a stroke? Daniel’s dating life has become working out who’s a fake profile and who’s a real profile (with a fake personality). Max goes to ground (and full Americana) as he explores some breweries and brews to a soundtrack that ISN’T Taylor Swift.( Gay gasp!) Then the Besties discuss the latest DC scandal; the shocking TikTok reviews of its food scene. Apparently it relies too much on alcohol. DC? Shocking! And on that note, CHEERS!

The Bitches are fatigued after a week of politics that has left them feeling betrayed and bewildered and that’s just over Taylor Swift not showing up. That hasn’t stopped her being in the culture though. Daniel is truly the modern man trying to have it all; juggling family drama, an over enthusiastic Grindr hookup, all while making sure he looks demure. Max takes a break from life’s stresses by watching some female soccer in the August sun, and is rewarded by having to spend the week looking like he’d been broiled. Lobster anyone? Then the Bitches have an intervention over Gen Z intervening with their intervals… sorry kids, we just need to pee. Cheers!

The Bitches comes to you in a state of Olympic withdrawal, but there’s still plenty of culture so don’t even be thinking of Raw-Dogging this week (we’re looking at you straights and one weather man in particular). There’s no gold medal for being boring or even bronze for that matter. Daniel will not be doing a Tom Daley and exiting stage left as he has a fairly productive week at work. The secret to his success might be a cheeky New Zealand candy. Max finds his beloved film industry in chaos as Joaquin Phoenix becomes the first straight male ever to come under fire for leaving a gay role and Blake Lively, well, wears florals for a sensitive subject… controversial. Then the Besties embrace the cooler weather and think about the end of year but don’t worry, summer hasn’t received a cease and desist from Celine Dion, it’s heart will go on. Cheers!

The Bitches finally have an excuse to be as bitchy as they possibly can be as they emerge from a truly horrendous week. Clouds may have silver linings, but they also come with a lot of rain… especially from Florida. Daniel’s basement is flooded, literally! At least he’s not on the receiving end of some drag-wrath. Max and the Hubs say goodbye to a very special friend but there’s no time for Sad Oompa Loompas here, just a celebration of the Olympic Sisterhood. Then the Besties open their arms to embrace America’s new dad, but can Tampon Tim bring everyone back to the dinner table? Cheers!
