Cultural Threeway

THE BITCHES ARE BACK! The Queens of DC Culture have returned from a lovely couple of days in the country where they Rose’d all Independence Day (thanks Debs!). Daniel is forced to finally turn on his oven after a couple of bad dating experiences ala Sylvia Plath. SPOILER ALERT! One Little Piggy is most definitely not getting roast beef. Max is tentatively optimistic about Britain’s new government, but is more interested in going full Scooby Doo and revealing the true villain of Avril Lavigne’s Sk8r Boi. Then the Besties take a look at how the rising cost of living is changing food culture and how they’ve been channeling their inner Ina Garten and Martha Stewart to eat well and drink better on a budget. Cheers!

The Bitches have suddenly realized they're in the midst of a Brat Summer. The pair pauses only to Google what is a Brat Summer, as they are Elder Millennials afterall. The middle age transitional phase continues. Daniel is still too hot to turn on his oven and gets called out by Instagram when they send him an advert for Wedgwood China. He’d be angry, but he really liked the pattern. The Coastal Grandma Transitional Phase continues. Max is open and honest about his mental health this week. Luckily God or karma intervened and sent him a Latter Day Saint. The Daddy Transitional Phase continues. Then the Besties give into the culture as the Brit’s embrace Taylor (they’ve never done that on this podcast… ever *wink) to a level we weren’t prepared for; Paul McCartney throws shapes; Hugh Grant does shots with boyfriend of the year Travis; and Andrew Scott and Phoebe Waller-Bridge dance “Shake It Off” back into the lexicon. Grab your friendship bracelets. Cheers!

The Bitches are suffering from split brains after a divided week. Perhaps that’s why these Coastal grandmas are delusional enough to think the Royal Family will be giving them the Taylor Swift treatment when they visit England. (You know they love a London boy) Daniel is going to be acting like royalty or a diva, whatever the answer, as he continues a personal cooking journey that involves never turning on his oven. Meanwhile Max has his mind on some comedy, but contemplates how much our lived experience gives us access to specific cultures. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Then the Besties turn their attention to Justin Trouser Snake and the celebrity scandal of the week (possibly even the year). How can popstars complete a world tour but not order an Uber? Cheers (but not if you’re driving)!

The Bitches have put Pride (and maybe a tinge of shame) behind them. They've put themselves back together and now they’re summer ready. Don't worry, they're still the lovable shambles they always were. But first, how’s YOUR mental health doing? Daniel has some practically magical news and he’s not just talking about Duchess Kate’s public appearance. She hath risen! But just why is “Audrey Hepburn at Ascot” an insult. Max is in Camp Scifi heaven as Doctor Who takes Lord on Lord action to another level and Star Wars introduces Lesbian Space Witches. He can’t contain his little light saber but please do keep up. Then the Besties ask the question, what’s more dangerous for our community; religions using TikTok dancers to indoctrinate the youth or greedy landlords taking away queer spaces? Cheers to the End Times!

The Bitches welcome you to their Second Annual Post-Pride Party. Forgive the mess. They’re hungover, sunburnt, and can barely string a sentence together but they’re pushing through to discuss all the shenanigans from Capital Pride. Daniel finds himself caught between his love for Dolly Parton and his hatred for Chardonnay as the Queen of Country prepares to launch her own line of wine. Will his tastebuds survive? Max somehow manages to squeeze in three date nights involving a gay choir, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and a power outage. Who says love is dead? Then the Besties settle down to discuss all things Pride; what they love about it, what they hoped to achieve, and is 27 too young to call yourself a retired-twink?

The Bitches welcome you to their pre-Pride Brunch Kiki. We’re recording this eleven hours into Pride Month, shenanigans have occurred, and already we can barely look each other in the eye. What will the neighbors say? Daniel continues his ongoing search for a gentleman to treat him like a lady and finger-blast him in the back of a horse-drawn carriage. It may be time to pull his empire waist ensemble out. Max finally opens up about entering his transitional Daddy phase and when he will accept this status and who from… thank you for joining him on this journey. Please get in line if you qualify. Then the Besties have a healthy dose of Americana; Olive Garden, sodium, Strip Malls and 34 Convictions. Oh My. There’s so much of it we’re going to need some Tupperware for the leftovers (culture is always better the next day). Be sure to schedule your party today, I mean Cheers!

The Bitches are starting the long weekend with an episode so big and girthy they needed to bring in a third to take it on. The Hubs helps them serve an all you can eat cultural feast but don’t worry, the only bankruptcy we’re facing is a moral one. How do you like those biscuits? Daniel turns another year older but his another year wiser is lost in the mail… Garçon, another bottle while we wait. Max has discovered Chappell Roan but it turns out so has everyone else so he might have to Elgin Marbles this shit. The Hubs fights valiantly to get the Bitches to talk about some real news and not Taylor Swift… not today Satan, not today! Then the Besties find their friendship tested as Max struggles to do the pod through his fake eyelashes and Daniel is more concerned about getting his bleach blonde bad-built butch body under another man. I wonder if there’s some non-alcoholic rosé involved. Cheers!

Some weeks there is an abundance of culture and some weeks the world offers you a mere morsel of a snack. Really a Podcast Totino if you will, but do we have some hungry boys? These Bitches want to feel POPULAR! (The single one could use some pointers on how to flirt and flounce for sure) Daniel asks the age old question, would you sooner look like a used Cotex or inspire something burgundy? Burgundy indeed. Max gets into the festive spirit a little bit early as he wonders if he’s looking at a snow angel or a climax. Then the Besties discuss the love language that is memes and what we see on the socials that makes us feel connected… and no, we’re not talking about flashing our tig old bitties at New York City! Cheers!

The Bitches are known for their opinions, in case you had any doubts. But while everyone goes for each other’s throats, these bitches are more than happy to grab a bottle of fizz and enjoy the show. Shall we play Mother? Daniel is dipping his toe back into the dating pool and is not shocked to find that it’s still a swamp. Another day, another creature from the black lagoon. What is the price of a free lunch? Max should be looking for some May motivations, but is more focussed on his legitimate fear of dropping gum in Olivia Newton John’s hair… Help! someone call the Doctor (Who)! Stat! Then the Besties discuss whether celebs at the MET Gala understood the assignment, if Eurovision can truly unite people through music, and should we be so indulgent while the world is on fire. We’ll see you in Hell .. oh wait already there. Cheers!

The Bitches turn 65 and though they are old enough to retire, they look too fabulous to be acting their age. No Babs, we’re not on Ozempic! It’s natural we swear! Daniel is the victim of some teasing from his Culturally Queer crush. When will he ever learn? Perhaps a spot of spontaneous cruising will scratch an itch. Max returns after literally running the Kentucky Derby to a photo finish and is full of Southern hospitality. He’s now ready to save a horse and ride a cowboy…. At the same time. Then the Besties turn their attention to the cultural dream team that is Nicole Kidman and Princess Diana and explore how these iconic women are still shaping modern cinema and fashion. Cheers!
