After a week off for yet <em>another </em>event, The Boys are sitting down and spilling the tea over all of the crazy goings on around them. They were trying out new spots to record this week&apos;s episode, but after trying a huge, cavernous, empty, and tacky rendering, they settled back into Studio AA for it&apos;s comfort and ease.</p><p>This week, Casey &amp; Mark are discussing the goings on surrounding the Big (i.e., overcompensating), Beautiful (i.e., gawdy), Ballroom (i.e., multi-use space) now underway on the grounds of Maralago DC...oops! I mean, <em>The People&apos;s House</em>...well,<em>The White House.</em>  The project, already estimated to far exceed it&apos;s original budget, is being built on what we were being told, open grounds without touching the existing White House.  Well we all know now what that was... The Boys are spilling the tea on the whole thing and sharing their thots on the matter.</p><p>Kicking things off this week, The Boys are catching you up on the happenings while they have been off the last week from the Poddy which leads right into an informational and horrifying conversation about hair removal. Then in this week&apos;s <em>Trash Talk</em>, Mark is bringing to the floor Karoline Leavitt&apos;s mom, &quot;grateful&quot; Jelly Roll has a meltdown at a footwear store, and actual twins are warring on OnlyFans-- but what&apos;s it about?  </p><p>And oh, yes -- they&apos;ve got recommendations too!  </p><p>This one&apos;s piping hot, y&apos;all!

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/732959/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Welcome to Episode 238! After a week off for yet <em>another </em>event, The Boys are sitting down and spilling the tea over all of the crazy goings on around them. They were trying out new spots to record this week&apos;s episode, but after trying a huge, cavernous, empty, and tacky rendering, they settled back into Studio AA for it&apos;s comfort and ease.</p><p>This week, Casey &amp; Mark are discussing the goings on surrounding the Big (i.e., overcompensating), Beautiful (i.e., gawdy), Ballroom (i.e., multi-use space) now underway on the grounds of Maralago DC...oops! I mean, <em>The People&apos;s House</em>...well,<em>The White House.</em>  The project, already estimated to far exceed it&apos;s original budget, is being built on what we were being told, open grounds without touching the existing White House.  Well we all know now what that was... The Boys are spilling the tea on the whole thing and sharing their thots on the matter.</p><p>Kicking things off this week, The Boys are catching you up on the happenings while they have been off the last week from the Poddy which leads right into an informational and horrifying conversation about hair removal. Then in this week&apos;s <em>Trash Talk</em>, Mark is bringing to the floor Karoline Leavitt&apos;s mom, &quot;grateful&quot; Jelly Roll has a meltdown at a footwear store, and actual twins are warring on OnlyFans-- but what&apos;s it about?  </p><p>And oh, yes -- they&apos;ve got recommendations too!  </p><p>This one&apos;s piping hot, y&apos;all! So pour yourself a festive fall <em>port vintage</em>, put on a fresh diaper, and pull up a seat to join your GBFFs at the table for a chat and kiki! <em>It&apos;s time to paint!</em></p><p><em>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</em></p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

There have been countless targeted gun shootings all over the country in the last week.  One of which seems to be dominating the airways.</p><p>Last week, far right conservative political activist and influencer, Charlie Kirk, was tragically gunned down and killed on a college campus at a stop on his &quot;The American Comeback&quot; tour in Utah.  Specifics have been slowly shared out about the details surrounding suspect, motive, condition, etc. but the fallout has been more than dominating the airwaves. This is not the first act of political violence to take place in the last 6 months, but it seems to have struck a chord with so many.  In this week&apos;s <em>Mid-Section</em>, Casey &amp; Mark are discussing what we know so far of the murder, the major punditry points, and the legacy left by the proud white nationalist.</p><p>Kicking things off this week, The Boys are discussing the latest aches, pains, trials and tribulations with the experience of aging as a gay man.  It certainly is ridiculous to be discussing at their age!  This on the heels of someone&apos;s birthday!  Mark &amp; Casey are giving you the rundown of a day on the town to celebrate, Casey!</p><p><em>Trash Talk </em>topics this week include a deep read on The House floor by Rep. Sarah Jacobs to the most bigoted members of Congress, a man takes matters into his own hands when someone forgets some party favors for the kickoff of NFL season, Bad Bunny flips the bird to ICE, and a man has been ticketed for needing a Slurpee....badly.</p><p>And The Boys have got recommendations for you to!  This one&apos;s got heft (and we ain&apos;t talking about their weight) with some levity of humor to balance. So pour yourself a balance bottle of <em>port vintage</em> and pull up a seat to the table in the library to join your GBFFs as they kiki about this last week.  Get ready, Kids, <em>it&apos;s time to paint</em></p><p>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/732959/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Welcome to Episode 234!  What a week, amiright??  The gun violence seems to be exploding across the United States with at least 4 known school shooting in the last week or so.  And those are just the schools. There have been countless targeted gun shootings all over the country in the last week.  One of which seems to be dominating the airways.</p><p>Last week, far right conservative political activist and influencer, Charlie Kirk, was tragically gunned down and killed on a college campus at a stop on his &quot;The American Comeback&quot; tour in Utah.  Specifics have been slowly shared out about the details surrounding suspect, motive, condition, etc. but the fallout has been more than dominating the airwaves. This is not the first act of political violence to take place in the last 6 months, but it seems to have struck a chord with so many.  In this week&apos;s <em>Mid-Section</em>, Casey &amp; Mark are discussing what we know so far of the murder, the major punditry points, and the legacy left by the proud white nationalist.</p><p>Kicking things off this week, The Boys are discussing the latest aches, pains, trials and tribulations with the experience of aging as a gay man.  It certainly is ridiculous to be discussing at their age!  This on the heels of someone&apos;s birthday!  Mark &amp; Casey are giving you the rundown of a day on the town to celebrate, Casey!</p><p><em>Trash Talk </em>topics this week include a deep read on The House floor by Rep. Sarah Jacobs to the most bigoted members of Congress, a man takes matters into his own hands when someone forgets some party favors for the kickoff of NFL season, Bad Bunny flips the bird to ICE, and a man has been ticketed for needing a Slurpee....badly.</p><p>And The Boys have got recommendations for you to!  This one&apos;s got heft (and we ain&apos;t talking about their weight) with some levity of humor to balance. So pour yourself a balance bottle of <em>port vintage</em> and pull up a seat to the table in the library to join your GBFFs as they kiki about this last week.  Get ready, Kids, <em>it&apos;s time to paint</em></p><p>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

Before they go off enjoying their holidays, Casey &amp; Mark sat down to discuss traditions and facts. <br/><br/>Every person has some holiday traditions, whether handed down for generations or starting new ones this year, traditions hold some of our favorite memories or annoyances. This week in the <em>Midsection,</em> The Boys are discussing a few of their holiday season traditions and a few exclusive facts we&apos;ll bet you didn&apos;t know about the holidays.  From car rides, to food, to music, to poem readings, to trees, to decorations, and others-- traditions run deep and become the things we &quot;do&quot; to celebrate the holidays.<br/><br/>But first, to kick things off this week, The Boys are trying to remember the most famous Christmas poem, <em>&apos;Twas The Night Before Christmas</em> after having a few laughs over a couple of items in the process.  Then, in preparation for the holiday, Mark agrees, sometimes you gotta do nothing, and then is sharing about his GrubHub nightmare.  Then Casey has an announcement -- He&apos;s doing something new (and we&apos;re not sure if Miss Jeffrey is on board).<br/><br/>In <em>Trash Talk </em>this week, The Boys are pondering a new Yule Log on the market that sold out in 2 hours that smells nothing like the holidays, a $37,700 trip for Flat-Earthers to prove the Earth is flat, a possible end to the workplace Secret Santa, and a wild new lawsuit filed following three divorces by a daughter against her parents.<br/><br/>It&apos;s a Holiday Themed episode for you as 2024 draws to a close!  It&apos;s the penultimate episode of Season 5 as well -- and the last of all new content.

(Perhaps they are throwing food at the screen?)<br/><br/>Kicking things off this week, Casey is storytelling about his trip in to Studio AA this week and Mark is taking out the post VP debate trash.<br/><br/><em>Trash Talk </em>topics this week include Melania&apos;s late with her messaging --- again; an election official gets read in open court before sentencing; all the tea on the Dump watches -- and it&apos;s low (even for <em>Dump</em>); and a follow up on last week&apos;s outing of a gay porn actor turned Anti-LGBTQ+ activist.<br/><br/>All this and recommendations too?! You&apos;d best believe it&apos;s a jam-packed episode of quality from The Boys and <em>Painted Trash Podcast</em>.  So get &apos;cha a full glass of your early fall <em>port vintage</em>, bring your colors, pull up a chair, and join your GBFFs for an all new episode.  <em>It&apos;s time to paint</em>!<br/>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

(Perhaps they are throwing food at the screen?)<br/><br/>Kicking things off this week, Casey is storytelling about his trip in to Studio AA this week and Mark is taking out the post VP debate trash.<br/><br/><em>Trash Talk </em>topics this week include Melania&apos;s late with her messaging --- again; an election official gets read in open court before sentencing; all the tea on the Dump watches -- and it&apos;s low (even for <em>Dump</em>); and a follow up on last week&apos;s outing of a gay porn actor turned Anti-LGBTQ+ activist.<br/><br/>All this and recommendations too?! You&apos;d best believe it&apos;s a jam-packed episode of quality from The Boys and <em>Painted Trash Podcast</em>.  So get &apos;cha a full glass of your early fall <em>port vintage</em>, bring your colors, pull up a chair, and join your GBFFs for an all new episode.  <em>It&apos;s time to paint</em>!<br/>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

Dump to hit the stage and debate one another.  Oh.... and meet face to face ... for the first time.  What was supposed to be the second debate between the Horse Dentures and the HydroxychloroQueen, is now the first meeting (and debate) of Kamala and The Dump (no -- not the luxury furniture outlet).  The Boys are filling out your Bingo cards and setting up a fun drinking game with your <em>port vintage</em> of choice (alcoholic or non).  Keeping track may just give you an edge.  You&apos;ll be good and ready for what you can expect after this <em>Midsection</em>.<br/><br/>Kicking off this week&apos;s episode, Mark &amp; Casey are talking cock rings, penis pumps, and a ridiculous customer experience -- the story you missed thanks to Donna (and Jonna and Lana) as well as the update.  <em>Trash Talk</em> topics include Preacher Vance sharing the GOP&apos;s plan for assistance with the child care crisis, the expected October surprise, a camel bite leads the arrest of a reality &quot;star&quot;, a candidate for Governor has allegedly been seen at a 24 porn shop... at least 5 times a week, and emotional support animals worth $800,000+.<br/><br/>This is one you don&apos;t wanna miss, y&apos;all!  So pour a nice glass of tasty <em>port vintage</em> and pull up a chair with your colors.  Your GBFFs are back and they&apos;re spilling the tea.  So get ready - <em>it&apos;s time to paint!<br/></em>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

(see what I did there?)  This is a <em>hot topic</em> (not at the mall --- though we wish, amiright?) and Casey is bringing <b><em>exclusive </em></b><em>tea</em>!!<br/><br/>It may have been a minute since their last episode what with responsibilities and living, but The Boys are picking right up where they left off discussing a bit of the short break and pondering what reimagined friend&apos;s gatherings might look like without food involved or centered around.  <em>Trash Talk </em>topics this week include the &quot;return&quot; of the not real Kitara Rivanche, a suburb of Calgary is seeking to ban a small controversial club, and <em>Reindeer Tea!</em><br/><br/>Y&apos;all, The Boys are firing on all cylinders this week and you don&apos;t wanna miss all the tea and discussion surrounding <em>Baby Reindeer!</em>  So pour yourself a nice full pour of your favorite springtime <em>port vintage</em>, be sure your diaper is fresh, and pull up a chair at the table with your GBFFs because <em>it&apos;s time to paint!<br/><br/>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</em></p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode! What street festivals do you attend? Do you like street fests?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/732959/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Welcome to Episode 178!  It&apos;s the queer superbowl, y&apos;all!! If you know anything about Casey &amp; Mark, you know they love an entertainment, including films and the height of awards season is upon us.  So hold off on completing you ballots for the Oscars until you&apos;ve sat down with your GBFs to get all the tea and answers to the test!<br/><br/>As you probably know, the 94th Annual Academy Awards, aka Oscars, are coming right up and you&apos;re filling out your ballots for your Oscars pool with coworkers, family, friends, and the like.  You can rely on your gay besties to give you all the answers to the ballot so you win that pool.  This weekend are the Oscars and The Boys have been at work watching the nominated work on the screens and reporting to you on their thoughts in their expectations, yes (read Oscar pool winning), but also the deserved winners.  Oh, and what would it be if they didn&apos;t include some snubbery??  <br/><br/>Kicking things off, The Boys are getting education after Mark has some health testing done and giving you the rundown of what it is and what to expect when you have to have it done. (Nothing if not educational!)  Then it&apos;s on to <em>Trash Talk</em>, where this week Mark &amp; Casey are hitting up the latest lawsuit filed against Andy Cohen and Bravo seeking to document what Kathy Griffin (akak KG) told us over 8 years ago and a <em>Willy Wonka</em> nightmare in Scotland.  Oh yes -- there are Oscar related recommendations too!<br/><br/>This one&apos;s a goodie chocked full of information, educational and otherwise.  So grab your Oscar pool ballot, a number 2 pencil. Fill up a glass of your favorite port vintage, and pull up a seat to the table with your GFFs,  It&apos;s the Gay Super Bowl, kids, and it&apos;s <em>time to paint</em>!<br/>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

What are Casey &amp; Mark most excited to see?  Which are you most looking forward to?<br/><br/>Of course, The Boys are checking out the pop culture headlines this week covering some goodies including a call for a federal investigation into Bud Light&apos;s advertising partnership with Dylan Mulvaney<em>; </em>family problems for Britney, <em>bitch</em>; and more! Oh- and of course Casey &amp; Mark have recommendations (or are they <em>wreck-o-mendations?)</em>.<br/><br/>It&apos;s a fun filled, informative, and engaging episode this week for you!

The tea is being spilled, the diapers are filling up, and The Boys are giving us some of their favorite occurrences.  What are yours??  Be sure to email in yours!<br/><br/>But first, in the <em>Trash Pick-Up</em>,  The Boys are catching up on several events during the week which found them at the theatre and on the couch together.  This week&apos;s <em>Trash Talk</em> topics include a &quot;not hungry&quot; State Assemblyman, an &quot;announcement&quot; from a world class DJ while discussing his sexual history, and, of course, some post-Oscars discussion while discussing an announcement from a well known stylist to the stars.<br/><br/>Of course Mark &amp; Casey are giving you a couple of recommendations this week as well -- for your Spring and Summer Playlists!<br/><br/>So put on your fresh diaper, pour a glass of your current favorite <em>port vintage</em>, and take a seat at the table with your GBFFs.  It&apos;s a topical and titillating new episode! Let&apos;s <em>Paint!</em></p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode! What street festivals do you attend? Do you like street fests? What is your favorite festival??<br/><br/>Have a topic idea or story you recommend for <em>Trash Talk</em>, be sure to send it in to our email or through the &quot;contact us&quot; on our website.<br/><br/>Follow us on:<br/>Instagram: instragram.com/paintedtrashpod<br/>Twitter: twitter.com/paintedtrashpod<br/>Facebook: facebookcom/paintedtrashpodcast<br/><br/>Don&apos;t forget to click Subscribe and/or Follow and  leave us a review!<br/><br/>email: paintedtrashpodcast@gmail.com<br/>web: www.paintedtrashpodcast.com</p>]]></content:encoded>

Back on their bulls***! So check your diaper and get ready --- cause The Boys have got a <em>full</em> episode for you!<br/><br/>Kicking things off in this week&apos;s <em>Pick-Up</em>, Casey &amp; Mark are discussing quick overnight trips to see family for birthdays.  Mark made his way to see his parents at one of their favorite places but only after spending some time catching up with a writer and reader!  Casey took a quick jaunt to celebrate his father&apos;s birthday and had the chance to see other family as well. What all transpired in these rural locations -- well, take a listen!<br/><br/>Next up, it&apos;s the <em>Mid-Section</em>.  Mark &amp; Casey are taking some time to review the recent loss of LGBTQIA+ community member and Hollywood starlet, Anne Heche.  She was one of Hollywood&apos;s brightest stars and still working when she had a tragic and terrible car accident.  The Boys are discussing the loss, little known details about her, and her catalogue of performances.  Anne was one of the first out bisexual stars in Hollywood (which most certainly had damaging effects to her career for years) and helped to move the needle of tolerance in Tinseltown.  Tea, celebrations, and yes, some laughs -- that what you&apos;ll find in this week&apos;s <em>Midsection.</em><br/><br/>Then it&apos;s on to <em>Trash Talk</em>.  This week&apos;s segment starts with a drag brunch claim from &apos;Karen&apos; in Las Vegas involving an <em>All Star </em>which was so terrible Karen had to go rent a cabana.  Secondly, a pastor guilting parishioners in a leaked video from Sunday&apos;s sermon and, &quot;Come on&quot;, where&apos;s the gift??  Finally, closing this week&apos;s <em>Trash, </em>it&apos;s another day- another hypocritical politician. This one comes to us from a recent &quot;swing&quot; state where hypocrisy is on full display. Who and what this time?  Take a listen to find out!<br/><br/>To close out this episode, Casey and Mark are giving us their recommendations. Casey has a limited docu-series now streaming in a 3 parter. Mark is touting a new season with a new format from a manigold franchise which has invigorated the latest season just kicking off!<br/><br/>It&apos;s a jam packed, laugher filled, tea spilling episode! Your GBFs are pulling up your seat this week.  So grab your brushes, canvases, and fill your glass of <em>port vintage</em>.    It&apos;s time to <em>Paint!</em></p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

What all transpired in these rural locations -- well, take a listen!<br/><br/>Next up, it&apos;s the <em>Mid-Section</em>.  Mark &amp; Casey are taking some time to review the recent loss of LGBTQIA+ community member and Hollywood starlet, Anne Heche.  She was one of Hollywood&apos;s brightest stars and still working when she had a tragic and terrible car accident.  The Boys are discussing the loss, little known details about her, and her catalogue of performances.  Anne was one of the first out bisexual stars in Hollywood (which most certainly had damaging effects to her career for years) and helped to move the needle of tolerance in Tinseltown.  Tea, celebrations, and yes, some laughs -- that what you&apos;ll find in this week&apos;s <em>Midsection.</em><br/><br/>Then it&apos;s on to <em>Trash Talk</em>.  This week&apos;s segment starts with a drag brunch claim from &apos;Karen&apos; in Las Vegas involving an <em>All Star </em>which was so terrible Karen had to go rent a cabana.  Secondly, a pastor guilting parishioners in a leaked video from Sunday&apos;s sermon and, &quot;Come on&quot;, where&apos;s the gift??  Finally, closing this week&apos;s <em>Trash, </em>it&apos;s another day- another hypocritical politician. This one comes to us from a recent &quot;swing&quot; state where hypocrisy is on full display. Who and what this time?  Take a listen to find out!<br/><br/>To close out this episode, Casey and Mark are giving us their recommendations. Casey has a limited docu-series now streaming in a 3 parter. Mark is touting a new season with a new format from a manigold franchise which has invigorated the latest season just kicking off!<br/><br/>It&apos;s a jam packed, laugher filled, tea spilling episode! Your GBFs are pulling up your seat this week.  So grab your brushes, canvases, and fill your glass of <em>port vintage</em>.    It&apos;s time to <em>Paint!</em></p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

Will there be debates for the next Presidential election? What could that look like and will it be worth our time?  What are your thoughts?<br/><br/>Afterwards, it&apos;s on to <em>Trash Talk.</em>  This week Mark is kicking things off with a soundbyte of Cancun Ted making inflamatory comments about Disney and their denunciation of the &quot;Don&apos;t Say Gay Bill&quot; in Florida.  You won&apos;t believe what comparison he draws to Disney push back on the new law in Florida (hint: it&apos;s yet another conversation not banned by the Don&apos;t Say Gay Bill but seemingly has much stronger inappropriate implications).  Next up, Casey is catching us up on the Depp-Heard trial.  Lots of tea has been spilled, more is being spilled, you won&apos;t believe some of the details coming out in court and Casey makes a prediction of the outcome just 1/3 of the way through the proceedings.  Lastly, to close out this week&apos;s segment, The Boys have received the tea on what was happening behind the scenes of this year&apos;s Oscars ceremony-- specifically why Liza isn&apos;t perhaps as feeble as we were lead to believe during the telecast.  What caused her to seem dazed and confused (thank God for Gaga)??  Take a listen to find out this tea.<br/><br/>Then it&apos;s on to this week&apos;s <em>Recomendations</em>, Casey has got a new favorite <em>Real Housewives </em>cast? Which one?? Well you&apos;ll have to listen to find out.  Then Mark has a <em>wreck-o-mendation</em> of a streaming reality show, currently in it&apos;s 2nd season.  It&apos;s trash and he loves it!<br/><br/>This episode has it all -- punditry, comedy,  friendship, family, tea, Disney, Hollywood, and <em>painting</em>.  You don&apos;t want to miss any of it, so pour yourself some of your favorite port vintage and get ready for an all new <em>Painted Trash Podcast: an LGBTAQ+IA  Podcast of Discourse!  <br/><br/>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br/><br/></em>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!<br/><br/>Have a topic idea or story you recommend for <em>Trash Talk</em>, be sure to send it in to our email or through the &quot;contact us&quot; on our website.<br/><br/>Follow us on:<br/>Instagram: instragram.com/paintedtrashpod<br/>Twitter: twitter.com/paintedtrashpod<br/>Facebook: facebookcom/paintedtrashpodcast<br/><br/>Don&apos;t forget to click Subscribe and/or Follow and  leave us a review!<br/><br/>email: paintedtrashpodcast@gmail.com<br/>web: www.painte</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

What could that look like and will it be worth our time?  What are your thoughts?<br/><br/>Afterwards, it&apos;s on to <em>Trash Talk.</em>  This week Mark is kicking things off with a soundbyte of Cancun Ted making inflamatory comments about Disney and their denunciation of the &quot;Don&apos;t Say Gay Bill&quot; in Florida.  You won&apos;t believe what comparison he draws to Disney push back on the new law in Florida (hint: it&apos;s yet another conversation not banned by the Don&apos;t Say Gay Bill but seemingly has much stronger inappropriate implications).  Next up, Casey is catching us up on the Depp-Heard trial.  Lots of tea has been spilled, more is being spilled, you won&apos;t believe some of the details coming out in court and Casey makes a prediction of the outcome just 1/3 of the way through the proceedings.  Lastly, to close out this week&apos;s segment, The Boys have received the tea on what was happening behind the scenes of this year&apos;s Oscars ceremony-- specifically why Liza isn&apos;t perhaps as feeble as we were lead to believe during the telecast.  What caused her to seem dazed and confused (thank God for Gaga)??  Take a listen to find out this tea.<br/><br/>Then it&apos;s on to this week&apos;s <em>Recomendations</em>, Casey has got a new favorite <em>Real Housewives </em>cast? Which one?? Well you&apos;ll have to listen to find out.  Then Mark has a <em>wreck-o-mendation</em> of a streaming reality show, currently in it&apos;s 2nd season.  It&apos;s trash and he loves it!<br/><br/>This episode has it all -- punditry, comedy,  friendship, family, tea, Disney, Hollywood, and <em>painting</em>.  You don&apos;t want to miss any of it, so pour yourself some of your favorite port vintage and get ready for an all new <em>Painted Trash Podcast: an LGBTAQ+IA  Podcast of Discourse!  <br/><br/>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br/><br/></em>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!<br/><br/>Have a topic idea or story you recommend for <em>Trash Talk</em>, be sure to send it in to our email or through the &quot;contact us&quot; on our website.<br/><br/>Follow us on:<br/>Instagram: instragram.com/paintedtrashpod<br/>Twitter: twitter.com/paintedtrashpod<br/>Facebook: facebookcom/paintedtrashpodcast<br/><br/>Don&apos;t forget to click Subscribe and/or Follow and  leave us a review!<br/><br/>email: paintedtrashpodcast@gmail.com<br/>web: www.painte</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/732959/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Welcome to Episode 98!  This week Mark &amp; Casey are giving you all the feels (laughter through tears if their favorite emotion) with their chat -- from family ties, to lost jobs, to interruptions from the trash. So get ready, it&apos;s time to <em>paint</em>!<br/><br/>In this week&apos;s <em>Trash Pick Up</em>, Mark &amp; Casey are briefly discussing recent personal losses in their lives in what seems to be a theme of 2022 so far.  It&apos;s been an emotional time for both of them and they are sharing some of them on this week&apos;s canvas.<br/><br/>Then it&apos;s on to the <em>Mid-Section</em>, where this week, in review of the State of The Union speech delivered to Congress, The Boys are hitting the heights and rolling around in the lows --- mainly the trash duo in the House who were interrupting like they were at a Maga (or white nationalist) rally.  Well, as only Casey and Mark can do -- they are bringing the receipts as to how these two characters got to where they are.  It&apos;s a tea spilling, hair raising, eye opening conversation.  The facts are the facts and they don&apos;t create a pretty picture.<br/><br/>Next up in this week&apos;s <em>Trash Talk</em>,  Casey has us comparing a recent Dua Lipa smash hit and a much lesser known song Artikal Sound System which has Dua Lipa embroiled in not one, but two lawsuits on copyright infringement. Is there a case to be made??

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/732959/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Welcome to Episode 98!  This week Mark &amp; Casey are giving you all the feels (laughter through tears if their favorite emotion) with their chat -- from family ties, to lost jobs, to interruptions from the trash. So get ready, it&apos;s time to <em>paint</em>!<br/><br/>In this week&apos;s <em>Trash Pick Up</em>, Mark &amp; Casey are briefly discussing recent personal losses in their lives in what seems to be a theme of 2022 so far.  It&apos;s been an emotional time for both of them and they are sharing some of them on this week&apos;s canvas.<br/><br/>Then it&apos;s on to the <em>Mid-Section</em>, where this week, in review of the State of The Union speech delivered to Congress, The Boys are hitting the heights and rolling around in the lows --- mainly the trash duo in the House who were interrupting like they were at a Maga (or white nationalist) rally.  Well, as only Casey and Mark can do -- they are bringing the receipts as to how these two characters got to where they are.  It&apos;s a tea spilling, hair raising, eye opening conversation.  The facts are the facts and they don&apos;t create a pretty picture.<br/><br/>Next up in this week&apos;s <em>Trash Talk</em>,  Casey has us comparing a recent Dua Lipa smash hit and a much lesser known song Artikal Sound System which has Dua Lipa embroiled in not one, but two lawsuits on copyright infringement. Is there a case to be made?? Decide for yourself.  Then, Mark has yet another attack on mask mandates, public healthy and safety, and a right wing conservative calling out college students on a hot mic.  Who was it? what did they say? Where are they from? Have you heard or seen the clip?? (Check it out; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9syRGE51HE).  Lastly, closing out this week&apos;s segment, Mark is sharing about an huge star in the opera world who has seen all of her performance contracts cancelled, then takes to social media to react (that always works out well, right?).

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/732959/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>Welcome to Episode 95!  The Boys are back with an informative, hilarious, and trashy new episode. So load up your palette, fill up your glass with <em>port vintage</em>, and let&apos;s get ready to <em>paint</em>!<br/><br/>In this week&apos;s <em>Trash Pick-Up</em>, Casey is <em>painting</em> the supposed snowstorm promised to Chicago which did not provide the anticipated  events he was planning afterwards. The week did however provide an opportunity for Casey to get together with some creative friends and stretch his acting muscle again even if for just one night.  Mark is relishing a weekend of R&amp;R catching up on television and movies while practicing some self care. One of the films provided an opportunity to introduce Scott H. to a classic, <em>Painted Trash</em> favorite film while being denied the viewing of a 2nd. Also - Mark celebrated a personal success during the weekend as well.<br/><br/>In this week&apos;s <em>Mid-Section... </em>it&apos;s Olympic season again (we know it was just Olympic season mere months ago) this time it&apos;s the Winter time! The Winter Olympics have begun and competition is going strong and The Boys are highlighting some favorite athletic events and The Boys are discussing their favorite events of the games, some of the strongest performers they are watching and celebrating.

    <description><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/732959/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p>It&apos;s the Season 3 premiere!!!   The Boys are back together for an <em>all new season</em> of pop culture news and tea! So pull up a seat and check out what Mark &amp; Casey are dishing on for this kick-off of Season 3!<br/><br/>In the <em>Pick-Up</em>, Casey &amp; Mark are sharing the highlights from their holiday events and plans as the world is dealing with the Omi. Then they are spilling hot tea all over the place about the first few weeks of 2022 and how this year is looking at this point.<br/><br/>Speaking of the first few weeks of 2022, in the <em>Mid-Section, </em>Mark &amp; Casey are paying tribute to the loss of <em>Golden Girl</em>, Betty White.  The Boys are sharing little known facts, highlights of her illustrious, long career in show business, and her compassion (and passion) for LGBTQ rights, animals, and kindness.

Have you experienced it ending in a food fight??  Well, these two did and you won&apos;t believe what happened next!  Closing out this week&apos;s segment, a television personality who has been discussing her latest relationship is starting to see some of the challenges they will face about their future.<br/><br/>In this week&apos;s recommendations, Casey is recommending a new television series now showing on TNT/USA.  If you&apos;re  a horror fan, you won&apos;t want to miss this one!  Then in a <em>Painted Trash Podcast </em>first, Mark is recommending a previous recommendations he hasn&apos;t yet seen.<br/><br/>This one&apos;s a personal one full of laughter, thoughtfulness, and as you&apos;ve come to expect, full of tea!  So pour yourself some of your favorite fall port vintage, grab a canvas, some paints and lets get <em>Painted! </em>Enjoy!<br/><br/>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

Have you experienced it ending in a food fight??  Well, these two did and you won&apos;t believe what happened next!  Closing out this week&apos;s segment, a television personality who has been discussing her latest relationship is starting to see some of the challenges they will face about their future.<br/><br/>In this week&apos;s recommendations, Casey is recommending a new television series now showing on TNT/USA.  If you&apos;re  a horror fan, you won&apos;t want to miss this one!  Then in a <em>Painted Trash Podcast </em>first, Mark is recommending a previous recommendations he hasn&apos;t yet seen.<br/><br/>This one&apos;s a personal one full of laughter, thoughtfulness, and as you&apos;ve come to expect, full of tea!  So pour yourself some of your favorite fall port vintage, grab a canvas, some paints and lets get <em>Painted! </em>Enjoy!<br/><br/>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

This week Mark &amp; Casey have got a big show chocked full of goodies. So grab your supplies and get ready to <em>paint!<br/><br/></em>Kicking off this week&apos;s <em>Pick Up</em>, Mark is discussing a rare event and the impact of the event on his life.  Then Casey is dishing on some professional challenges, but reviewing a Drag show he attended with Drag legends, Manila Luzon, Trinity The Tuck, and Ginger Minj highlighting the catalog of Canadian Pop Icon, Celine Dion!  <br/><br/>Next up, it&apos;s the <em>Mid-Section</em> and this week&apos;s is a biggie!  As movie theaters re-open and the Fall season gets started, movies are once again being released into theaters rather than direct streaming (though some quality films are debuting on streaming). Mark &amp; Casey are discussing some of the most highly anticipated movies expected this Fall (and some not so anticipated). This is typically the kick off to what is expected to be some of strong awards contenders.  Which ones have you heard about? Which ones are new to you?  What ones will you see? Which will you miss? Did we miss any??<br/><br/>Then it&apos;s on to everyone&apos;s favorite weekly segment, <em> Trash Talk!  </em>Kicking off this week is a viral video of a televangelist call out the LGBTQIA+ and their supporters offering up judgement and blame in a bigoted video.  Speaking of Canada, a husband learned his wife got vaccinated for COVID-19 and sprung to action to address how she received it. Now - a nationwide manhunt is on. But why??  Next - two stories out of Florida where a new Surgeon General has been appointed and one of the first orders of business is to block any mask mandates in schools all while allowing parents to make the decision if their children should stay home to quarantine after exposure to COVID-19 or if they are ok to go to school as long as they do not exhibit symptoms. Lastly to close it out - a woman in Philadelphia was tired of waiting for her meal at a restaurant and drew her gun, intimidating workers, demanding her food &quot;<em>now!&quot;.<br/><br/></em>Finally, in this week&apos;s recommendation Mark is suggesting a live capture of a musical focused on hope and healing in the face of a tragedy (based on a true story). Then Casey is recommending his favorite TV show now going into it&apos;s 41st season and back after filming was shutdown as a result of the corona-19-COVID-CORVID-1919-2020-2021.<br/><br/>It&apos;s a jam packed all new episode with your gay best friends!  So pour your favorite port vintage, grab your painting supplies, pull up a chair and get ready for <em>Painted Trash!<br/><br/>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br/></em>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!<br/><br/>Have a topic idea or story you recommend for <em>Trash Talk</em>, be sure to send it in to our email or through the &quot;contact us&quot; on our website.<br/><br/>Follow us on:<br/>Instagram: instragram.com/paintedtrashpod<br/>Twitter: twitter.com/paintedtrashpod<br/>Facebook: facebookcom/paintedtrashpodcast<br/><br/>Don&apos;t forget to click Subscribe and/or Follow and  leave us a review!<br/><br/>email: paintedtrashpodcast@gmail.com<br/>web: www.paintedtrashpodcast.com</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

And guess what?? He outed an icon in the process!  Next up, Casey is bringing us the deets from a menage-a-tois involving a Brazilian rapper which ended in a most unfortunate way.  To close out this week&apos;s segment, Casey is giving us an update on Karen (well one Karen in particular -- Central Park Karen) and Mark is telling us the latest Karen outing and it is OUTRAGEOUS (and you&apos;ll never believe what she was wearing)!<br/><br/>In this week&apos;s recommendations, Mark has a quick, binge-able, fun comedy series and Casey has a new summer bop!  <br/><br/>This is a wide-ranging episode full of fun, information, and discourse!

So much has happened and so many of us have been living in trauma. What are some of the memories? How have we been affected? What does the future look like -- both soon and later? The Boys are not just looking back...but also looking forward!  While there have been many negatives, there have also been some positives and hopefully we can hold on to the good.<br/><br/>Then it&apos;s on to <em>Trash Talk, </em>where Casey has brought a story about an Alabama State Representative who forgot followers can see your &quot;likes&quot; on Twitter and guess what?? - his hypocrisy is on full display.  You gotta hear it to believe it.  Next up Mark keeps it in Alabama where a whole self exercise and mindfulness program has been outlawed in schools for decades. Now the State is reversing course-- but with some ridiculous stipulations. Finally, closing out <em>Trash Talk</em>, it was an odd and wholly tragic Christmas at one home in California as details regarding the events of one families holiday are coming to light during a trial. You gotta hear this one to believe it!<br/><br/>Finally, in this week&apos;s recommendations, Casey is excited about a new musical act he has been listening to you with a fusion of styles, and Mark is revisiting a cult classic TV Show which has just been released on a streaming platform in it&apos;s entirety (two seasons)!<br/><br/>This is a historic and important time and as we hit the mark of one year of living in the age of Corona, this is a great time to reflect.

With some major events happening this past week and the anticipation of a major announcement coming, Mark &amp; Casey are spilling the tea and sharing their thoughts with the listeners, viewers, readers, callers, and writers!<br/><br/>In this week&apos;s <em>Trash Pick Up</em>, Mark &amp; Casey are reviewing the top categories from this week&apos;s announced Emmy nominations including Best Drama, Best Comedy, and the snubs and surprises. Of course The Boys will be reviewing the other major categories as the scheduled &quot;ceremony&quot; approaches.<br/><br/>In this week&apos;s <em>Mid-Section</em>, Casey &amp; Mark are joined by <em>Painted Trash&apos;s </em>Political Correspondent, Mary Beth, to discuss the top names being considered for the second in command as Vice President of the United States of America. It&apos;s a spirited conversation full of tea spilling, laughs, and plenty of political punditry.  Not sure who you should be listening to and looking at as the announcement is expected soon?

Starting with John Bolton&apos;s new book, <em>The Room Where It Happened</em>.  The book he was paid $10 million dollars to write instead of giving testimony to Congress during the Impeachment Trial of POTUS.  TIP:  the book has been leaked online. Save your coin and don&apos;t give it to Bolton, download it and read it online.

In case you&apos;ve been living under a rock, the huge crowds expected and touted by campaign leaders, despite social distancing measures, turned out to be less than expected allegedly thanks to Tik-Tok and K-Pop fans.  Next up, The Boys are discussing the announced shuttering of another gay conversion therapy group who has been dealing with not just the intense push back on conversion therapy, but also a big announcement from its former leader!  Finally, Casey is spilling the tea and catching everyone up on recent events and conversations happening within the Chicago Drag community!<br/><br/>This one&apos;s <em>jam packed</em> with tea spilling, laughter, port vintage, and of course, trash talking!  So pour yourself a light, summer port vintage and get ready for an all new, <em>Painted Trash</em>!</p><p>Let The Boys of <em>Painted Trash </em>know your thoughts on this week&apos;s topics and episode!

Then Casey is giving his initial reaction to <em>Chromatic, </em>Lady Gaga&apos;s latest album and Mark paints  a viral TikTok video with a Gaga fan recreating the dance from the music video of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande&apos;s song, <em>Rain On Me. </em>Check out the video here;<em>  </em><a href='https://www.pride.com/comedy/2020/5/29/tree-almost-falls-man-attempting-lady-gaga-choreography-storm'>https://www.pride.com/comedy/2020/5/29/tree-almost-falls-man-attempting-lady-gaga-choreography-storm</a><br/><br/>In this week&apos;s <em>Mid-Section</em>, The Boys are digging in to recent events around the country involving racial tensions in New York City involving a man bird watching an woman walking her dog off leash in Central Park and the viral video shot by the man (<a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8-t6IHsZtE'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8-t6IHsZtE</a>).  Then Mark &amp; Casey get emotional about the killing of an unarmed African-American man named George Floyd, by police in Minneapolis, MN.  In case you haven&apos;t seen the video you can see it here; (warning this video shows evidence of graphic violence - <a href='https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000007159353/george-floyd-arrest-death-video.html'>https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000007159353/george-floyd-arrest-death-video.html</a>)<br/><br/>And in this week&apos;s <em>Trash Talk</em>, Mark is painting some people who have knowingly exposed coworkers to COVID-19 after one (and then more) tested positive for the dangerous virus.
