Drink of the day: Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante (SO GOOD.)

Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are talking about the thing that’s on EVERYONE’S mind this week: The Kavanaugh confirmation hearings and the extremely brave women who have come forward to try to stop this man from getting onto the Supreme Court of the United States.

Of course, we’re following it up with a smarmy little Criminy River. And we wouldn’t be the trash we are without a Strug Boat absolutely chock FULL of some Bravo news and pop culture potpourri! Oh, it’s so good!

We couldn’t keep our motors boating if it wasn’t for the support of our incredible Patrons! If you like what you hear, please consider becoming a supporter of The Garbage Barge and help us keep doing what we do!

Drink of the day: Rose spritzer with passion fruit liqueur, lemon/lime seltzer, and frozen strawberries & pineapple.

Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are talking about a TON this week because we’ve got a lot to catch up on. We’re loading up The Garbage Barge with all kinds of Nike stuff – the Colin Kaepernick story, and the notion that there is ethical consumerism under capitalism. What do you think?

Criminy River is a little murky this week, tune in to see what had us rolling our eyes this week!

The Strug Boat is a “pop culture pop-off” full of all kinds of weird news! Bravo, of course, is sprinkled throughout…

**SO SORRY for the sound issues in our Criminy River segment – we had some serious hardware failure during recording that we could not replace in time. We promise to never make you folx listen to something of such poor quality again. In the meantime, maybe picture that we recorded this in the middle of a rainforest or something, Blair Witch style… **

What we’re drinking: Rosé spritzer: Rosé, passionfruit liqueur, frozen blueberries and strawberries, top with lemon & lime seltzer.

Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are FINALLY ON SPOTIFY and they are THRILLED. But, also, we’re here to talk about Michael Avenatti and we are super annoyed. Is Avenatti the “progressive 45”? What do you think?

Then we’ve got a Criminy River that’s got some PRETTY rough sound. So sorry about that. But here we are and we’re talking about Kristy Swanson and Serena Williams!

The Strug Boat brings it all home with a whole lot of ranting about movie remakes and that woman who canceled her wedding when her friends couldn’t afford the 50,000 dollar bill she was trying to seat them with (yikes.)

Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are knocking out this quick episode for the last week of August and things are crazy! The entire admin surrounding 45 is falling apart rapidly and some pretty big convictions were handed down this week. We’re talking about Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen and what happened.

We’ve got some lovely filth floating down Criminy River: Kathleen Reilly is BACK and being awful again in Crown Heights, so we thought we’d bring you an update. Also, we’re going to talk about how cancer doesn’t make you a good man. And then, a TON of fun Bravo stuff on The Strug Boat.

Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are drinking rose spritzers in Garbage Barge Headquarters and we’re talking about what’s going on in the news this week. There’s the whole “truth isn’t truth” thing from Rudy Giuliani, which is really pretty scary when you think about it. Then we’re going to talk about the protests against police violence that are taking place during the NFL preseason.

We’ve got Elon Musk and Nathan’s Hot Dogs on Criminy River this week, find out why!

Of course, The Strug Boat is FULL of a ton of Bravo News – Charlie Sheen, RHOBH, The Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, Project Runway and MORE. We love the Strug Boat and it’s rich this week.

Today we’re talking about the failed Unite The Right 2 “rally” and what this protest reflects in our culture. Then we’re going to check out what’s floating down Criminy River – spoiler alert – it has to do with Lindsay Lohan and Omarosa…

The Strug Boat is bringing up the rear STRONG with a TON of Bravo updates because it’s been so long since we’ve caught up! It’s a juicy day for the Strug Boat, for sure. We’ve got RHONY, Southern Charm, RHOC, RHOBH AND Shahs Of Sunset!

Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are mad at capitalism – I mean, who isn’t at this point? We’re talking about how the uber-rich are buying up businesses with tons of borrowed money and selling off the company, gutting the employees, in order to pay off that debt and make a quick buck. This is actually really, really disturbing, and it’s all completely legal, somehow.

But worry not: We’re also rocking our delicious Criminy River and The Strug Boat segments and they are full of all the trash you know and love! Some silly politics, and heavy on the Bravo News!

Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are back and we’re taking on a topic we’ve been considering for weeks and weeks! We’re finally talking about the word “queer” and it’s standing in the community. For some, it’s a historically insulting word that brings back trauma and abuse. For others, the word is the only identity that works for them. Let’s talk.

Of course, we’re also going to have a little fun on the Strug Boat: We’re getting silly and nostalgic going through Candice’s old LiveJournal entries for her birthday, and Colin is sharing some of his epic yearbook from his senior year of high school! We’re also doing some Bravo, no worries, people. :]
