Folks are shocked at the results of the 2024 US Presidential Election. Despite insulting everyone they could and promising to end free elections, Trump and MAGA republicans are set to control our federal government, now with no judicial restraints.
For all purposes, Trump is about to be the United States’ first dictator.
Everyone is blaming everybody, everything everywhere, all at once:
• Election Interference.
• Democrats.
• Gen Z.
• Corporate owned news media.
• Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter.
• Kamala, Bernie, Hillary, Joe.
• Putin, Netanyahu, Kim Jon Un, Winnie the Pooh.
• Jill Stein, election hipsters.
• Chappell Roan.
• The Taco Bell Chihuahua.
Everyone, except Republicans.
Although most Americans agree on progressive issues like Universal Healthcare, billionaires paying normal taxes, LGBTQ equality, abortion access and wishing the price of eggs would go down, Republicans got practically the same number of votes the last election, while Democratic voters stayed home watching Grey’s Anatomy.
Today comedian and comedy writer Dan Cass joins us to look at what happened during the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.

Bodybuilding isn’t cheap- food, gear, training, and coaching can make the road to becoming a legend super expensive.
Now that’s where the generous benefactors come in handy!
Famous bodybuilders like Arnold Schwartzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Kai Greene made money as muscle for hire and it wasn’t always as security detail. Muscle worship and muscle posing can sometimes bring in the bucks if you find the right audience.
Let’s Grow Big Together! The podcast that invites you to come to the muscle worship party, even if you’re not jacked yet.
In this series, we take a look at the passion for muscle, adventures in bodybuilding, muscle gods, muscle worship and practical advice to put on the gains.
Today long term listener, go-go boy and musical theater enthusiast Shaw Knight takes us behind the scenes of lavish muscle worship parties you’ve always heard about but seemed too wild to be true.

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris made an appearance for two and a half minutes on Saturday Night Live’s opening sketch to address people’s anxiety over the election.
Harris said the best we can do is use our power to vote, and hold on tight to the promise that America will get through this.
FCC commissioner and author of Project 2025 Brendan Carr filed a complaint against NBC television, stating the broadcast network violated “equal time” rules, which wasn’t the case since the network did reach out to Trump with their campaign declining.
Today we make the case for voting for Kamala Harris, even if you have grave misgivings.

It seems fitting that in the U.S., Election Day is so close to Halloween. Despite promising to be a dictator on day one, despite doing every horrific thing possible to hurt voters, Donald Trump is neck and neck with Kamala Harris.
Today we take a look at the election to end all elections and this year’s Halloween costumes with comedian Dan Cass, one of Chicago's top comedy writers and performers, who spent time in Russia studying experimental theater.

The 2024 US Presidential election is a real nail biter. It’s now a choice between maintaining our democracy or turning the government over to a dictator, so it’s no wonder this election is causing a lot of anxiety, even pop stars and baby hippos are shooketh.
Project 2025, the well funded political scheme by the right wing hate group The Heritage Foundation hopes to replace all Federal leaders and judges with ultraconservatives loyal to Trump. The plan also calls for concentration camps for LGBTQ+ folks, immigrants and women who’ve had abortions.
Thankfully our friend, family therapist and PrEP activist Damon L. Jacobs has his own Project for 2025, calling it “PROTECT 2025” where he invites undecided voters living in one of the 7 swing states to have a conversation about the election with him. If they do, he will give them $20 and 25¢ for twenty minutes of their time.
Ka ching!
What does Damon hope to accomplish? Today Damon L. Jacobs joins us to look at the 2024 US Presidential Election between Trump and Harris, and why, like George Takei says, it’s urgent for all LGBTQ+ folks to take a stand and speak out.

Long before folks enjoyed watching oddball viral videos on the Internet, the only way to see these outrageous movies was to share physical video cassette tapes from person to person.
One of the stars of this tape sharing phenomenon was musician Jan Terri, whose wonderfully weird music videos got the attention of a lot of people, including celebrities Marilyn Manson and his girlfriend at the time Rose McGowan. Manson even had Jan open for him in concert.
After taking some time off for personal reasons, Jan made a spectacular comeback in the early days of YouTube when the video for her song “Losing You” became a hit as the “Worst Music Video Ever.” It still ranks as the top video for the term, with 5.9 million views to date.
Today counterculture legend Jan Terri joins us to look at her roller coaster life in music, putting out a children’s book and a cookbook for folks living in dorms and life as an accidental internet superstar, long before there was an Internet.

For all the heroic triumphs that took place at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, one of the most talked about moments has been pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati's spectacular loss.
Even though he wasn’t going to make the pole vault, his massive baguette got in the way, knocking the bar off the poles as he tumbled into our hearts.
Anthony, you may have lost at the Olympics, but your dong won the gold.
Today we take a look at all the top news stories happening around the 2024 Olympics in Paris, two cisgendered women accused for being trans, Tom Daley retiring from diving, RayGun going viral for her hilariously awkward break dancing and Simon Biles loving her black job: winning gold medals.

It’s hard to quantify the importance comedian Ellen DeGeneres has had on LGBTQ+ visibility.
Coming out on her own sitcom in 1997 was initially rough for her and her career but opened doors for many queer people and led her to dominate daytime talk shows as the new “queen of nice” a title formerly given to another closeted daytime talk show host, Rosie O’Donnell.
Then after years of rumors that real life Ellen was the queen of mean, Ellen’s talk show got canceled and we saw a new side we all originally loved either way, snarky Ellen.
Now Ellen says this next stand up comedy special on Netflix will be her last, saying she’s quitting showbiz forever. (OK Cher.)
While we say goodbye to Ellen’s career it’s a thrill to say hello to Vice President Kamala Harris who in two days has snatched up the nomination for President of the United States, and broke records by raising 100 million dollars in small donations.

When we first heard the shocking news that a disgruntled Republican tried to shoot former President Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, all kinds of thoughts went racing through our heads: was this staged? Is this a lone gunman? Are we disappointed they missed? Who knew Melania would be such a bad shot?
Despite President Biden’s call to unify the country by rejecting violence and expressing sympathy for the victims including former President Trump, Trump himself wasted no time raising funds over the shooting with various leading Republicans blaming the violence on Democrats.
Violence is contagious, and it’s tempting to want to hurt others as a quick fix.But the problem is that people want quick solutions to issues that take time, energy and thoughtfulness to resolve.
Today Chicago comedian and comedy writer Dan Cass joins us to look at the political turmoil surrounding the 2024 US Presidential Election, the Supreme Court’s recent rulings granting themselves supreme power and the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump.

Being a musician is tough- streaming services keep all the money, crappy diss tracks go viral on TikTok, and now AI is muscling in on the action. It's no wonder so much bad music today is being cranked out by corporations instead of singer songwriters.
But, despite all these obstacles Tom Goss makes it work. Now after millions of views, his hit song Bears, a playful tribute to Gay Bears, is now a decade later being rediscovered by straight butch radio jockeys on 98.5 The Sports Hub from Boston.

Box office poison! Critics hated the film Mommie Dearest, the film adaptation of Christina Crawford's tell all book chronicling the physical and mental abuse she suffered as the adopted daughter of Hollywood Golden Age legend Joan Crawford.
But thanks to the success of Rocky Horror Picture Show and the films of John Waters, the film studios quickly pivoted the marketing of the melodramatic movie into a dark comedy, showcasing it as a midnight feature film inviting drag queens to dress up and re-enact fights between momma Joan and her adopted daughter Christina.
Today we’re chatting with pop culture writer A. Ashley Hoff on the camp classic film Mommie Dearest and how the runaway success of the film forever changed how the public thinks about Joan Crawford and the film's star Faye Dunaway.
In his new book With Love, Mommie Dearest: The Making of an Unintentional Camp Classic, A. Ashley Hoff explores how Christina's memoir got turned into this outlandish film. Hoff also explores all the myths surrounding Christina and Joan Crawford's actual lives.
