CAUTION this episode contain the use of vile language, This week we discuss a disturbing viral video that unfortunately was filmed in our own backyard.  This disgusting display of hate, racism and ignorance will leave you baffled and disgusted. On a lighter note it was Broadway’s turn to shine with the TONYS hosted by Wolverine…I  mean Hugh Jackman. To see the video we discussed go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqdCWpUmP-Y

Marriage equality is popping up all over the United States faster than spring wild flowers.  Where will be next?  The Tea Party attempts to over throw the government again but it must be done quickly....they have work tomorrow. News, our weeks and a listener sends fantasies with naughty pictures!

Just because we know how much you love to listen to people eat; we kick off this episode with a Mystery Dorito taste test.  Which one of the new demo flavors is your favorite?  What did you think about the kiss seen around the world?  Is it really a big deal or has it been completely blown out of proportion?  And Mother’s Day….ours included brunch, radio contests, screaming and fire arms.  How about yours?

This week we bring you an interview with James Wharton, a former soldier and author of Out in the Army: My Life as a Gay Soldier.  Joining the army at 16, James spent ten years in the Household Cavalry serving both ceremonially in the capital and operationally in Iraq. During his decade of service, He was instrumental in the change of attitude towards LGBT people in the British military, becoming the first ever gay person to appear on the front cover of Soldier magazine.

In this episode Joey apologies for his lack of a “spoiler alert” on a past episode but asks the question when is it appropriate to discuss a “spoiler”. Also The Game of Thrones television series accidentally spoiled The Game of Thrones the book.  Sarah Palin is screaming about something again and X-Men director, Bryan Singer’s alleged under age sexy pool parties.

Against all odds Godspell is finally open…Christ has risen and will continue to do so 4 nights a week.  This episode is a lot of behind the scenes theatre talk, waxing...they say a picture is worth a thousand words but only one comes to mind and it begins with a B and your Cre-Mails!!!

As the old saying goes, “everyone’s a critic” especially when it comes to art but did the British art student who planned to lose his virginity just play the media for publicity or did he get cold…feet? Late Night has a new host but does anyone actually know the real Colbert? Our views on the RuPaul‘s Drag Race controversy.  We discuss the differences between drag queens and transgender individuals.  SPOILER ALERT…Joey gave away the details of the Game of Thrones “Purple Wedding”…by now anyone who cares surely knows.

This is a rare Joey-Free episode…almost.  The Cream Team exchanged theories regarding the alleged whereabouts of one Ms. Betsy Carmichael.  Donna Suggarz: the Early Years explored her first kiss, her early obsession with playing dress up and an ill-fated run for Homecoming Queen.  Last but certainly not least, advice for queer youth attempting to live their lives in less than idle circumstances. Music from this episode includes: The Homecoming Queen’s Got a Gun performed by Julie Brown available for download on Amazon.  

In studio we were fortunate to have our dear friend, the Co-Founder of Pride 48 and the Co-Host of Dubious Intent Plus, Adam Burns!  Adam tells us all about his NYC and Buffalo mini vacation with his boyfriend, Mittens and all about his experiences growing up gay in the Bible Belt.  No melons were harmed in the making of this episode.  www.cocktailsandcreampuffs.com

Death, new jobs, breast reductions, Dr. Oz, Denmarkians, child abuse and poison bologna....all in one show!

With the start of a new month also comes April Fool's Day.  While we didn't partake in any pranks ourselves we presented a few you may want to keep in your back pocket for the future.  RuPaul’s Drag Race came under fire for the term She-Male used in a competition.  Was this insensitive or is this an overreaction? Finally, Donna receives a mysterious letter!
