Thanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of The Garbage Barge! Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta did NOT want to do this episode, but it turns out there was another white terrorist mass shooting here in the United States and it would be strange if we didn’t mention in. So, we’re talking about what happened in Nashville, Tennessee at the Waffle House. Then, we’re going to talk about Kanye West’s return to social media — and it seems like he’s still in the sunken place, at least a little bit. His support of Candace Owens on Twitter did NOT go over well, and we’re talking about a whole bunch of our feelings about this thing. What do you think?

Happy Strug Boat Saturday! Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are back and talking about a whole bunch of music and Bravo today! Taylor Swift released an unbelievably boring cover of the amazing Earth, Wind, And Fire song, “September”. It’s not good, it’s a mess. It’d also be a little ridiculous if we didn’t mention the absolutely insane set that Beyonce KILLED while headlining Coachella! And, of course, it wouldn’t be the Strug Boat if we didn’t talk a little bit about Bravo TV – there was the Night Of 31 Doorbells, the Southern Charm New Orleans premiere, and more! Bravo is killing this spring line up, ya’ll. Thanks so much for tuning in with us today!

Thanks for tuning into The Garbage Barge! Today Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are talking about Lisa Kirchner and her weird think piece about how it’s totally ok that the person she’s decided to marry literally voted in the worst interest of the entire population of the country! Separating a person from there deeply held, fundamentally incorrect beliefs isn’t something we believe in here at The Garbage Barge! This woman exemplifies the performative ally who ignores their privilege for the sake of their own comfort. It’s the same old song, and we’re singing a couple new verses!

Happy Strug Boat Saturday! Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are back at it again with some fun Strug Boat shenanigans! We’re starting out with a quick update regarding none other than THE Robbie Tripp! Spoiler alert: He’s still being trash. Then, Colin is going to talk a little bit about what it’s like for Molly Ringwald to be writing pieces about the movies he grew up with and loved as a teen. Examining our problematic faves is important! And finally, it’s time for some Southern Charm tarot as we pull some cards for T Rav and his new lady, Ashley Jacobs!

Thank you for tuning into The Garbage Barge! Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are, unfortunately, having to have another conversation about gun violence this week. We’re starting by talking about the YouTube shooting and how the media controlled and shifted the narrative as information slowly came out about what had happened on the campus that day. And then, we’re talking about state sanctioned violence in the form of police murders against unarmed citizens of the United States. We’re talking about Stephon Clark from Sacramento, California and then Saheed Vassell from Crown Heights, Brooklyn. You can’t have a conversation about gun violence and gun control without talking about the police. So grab a drink, or grab a seat on your morning commute, and listen up! As always, we’re brought to you by our incredible Patrons on patreon.com! Thank you for your support!

And JCSS is our absolute shared favorite. We dive into the whole Michael Rapaport being a flaming heap of refuse thing, and then discuss that whole… did Luann totally just wear blackface on RHONY? Because, like, damn. Thank you so much to our Patrons for keeping us going! Ya’ll mean the world to us! Let us know what you’d like to hear about on Twitter or Instagram! Check out links below!

Thanks for tuning into The Garbage Barge and happy dang Wednesday! Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta HEARD YOU on Instagram and are talking about this damn Roseanne reboot! From conspiracy theories to third party candidates to the normalization of one of the scariest capitalist monsters to wield this kind of power in the “free world”. And, yet, the show made us laugh and seems to have recaptured some nostalgic magic that we can really appreciate… to a point. It’s simply not ok to normalize conspiracy theory as fact, or to conflate factual opinions with those created by basement-dwelling internet gun nuts.

Happy Strug Boat Saturday, people! Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are having a pretty good time this Saturday and we hope you are, too! Wednesday’s episode of The Garbage Barge was a little heavy, so we’re pulling some Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards for ourselves and seeing what the Universe may or may not have in store for us in the near future! After that, we’re going to dive into the whole Cynthia Nixon running for political office thing! Are celebrity politicians one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse? Either way, we’re going to pull a Goddess Card for Cynthia Nixon, too!

Thank you for tuning into The Garbage Barge and happy Wednesday! Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are spending this episode having a conversation about some of the recent health struggles Candice has been going through these past few years, and especially this last week, and how that all relates to what we do here at the Garbage Barge! We’re also talking about chronic pain and chronic diagnoses and what these kinds of things can do to a person’s mental health and quality of life. These last few episodes have all been produced while Candice is in this stupid pain, and it really means a lot that you all are tuning in and keeping The Garbage Barge afloat during this time! Thank you all so much for supporting us!
