MoPod Show 2.0 - Gay Comedy Podcast

Here we are again for another funtastic Mopod Show.  This week, Dangina, Peasha, and Uncle Ruphus discuss their charities.  Listen as we discuss what is going on in our world as well as the world not located inside our own heads.  Find out what is up with Michelle Obama’s red and black dress.  Also, we have some Mo News with a special alert on dangerous animals and we also learn.  Finally, find out why a pack of midgets might want to beat down a pregnant teen and what could turn a group of train commuters into angry savages.

We are back again with another rambling episode of the Mopod show.  This week, we discuss  Gina’s new neighborhood and where he likes to find the best beer and men in lederhosen.  Also, new laws in Maryland that Ruphus may want to heed.  This week is a short show due to the exciting Vice Presidential debate we were eagerly awaiting.  Why aren’t the debates more like a pageant?  Would that make people tune in more?  Perhaps that is what our electoral process needs…a talent competition.  Enjoy the show and stay tuned for more episodes.

I thought it was interesting that the worlds leggist woman and the worlds shortest man would meet to promote the 2009 Guinness book of World Records.  This picture is very disturbing though and should not have been taken.  I think I have had a nightmare of this before.  Read more about this story on USA today’s article.

This week, Dangina tries his hand at impersonations, while Peahsa tries his hand at nonpartisanship.  We have a little Mo News, discussion on the rapidly aging gay community, and a little George Takei.  Also, the world’s leggiest woman and the worlds smallest man…….wow what a visual.  Ruphus is off this week, doing Ruphus type stuff…we all know what that is.

This is the “not so shorty” show.  With the intent of a short show, we still managed to ramble on forever.  This week we discuss Gina’s furniture needs, Gina’s move, Ruphus’s first crush, and whether or not Peasha may have gotten syphilis from Ruphus’s sofa.  Also, we pose the question:  Is Ruphus’s house powered by wind power or is there a retarded person on his roof spinning their arms?  You decide.  Either way, somehow that means our server is green.  Maybe Ruphus has the energy plan that the nation has been hoping to find!

Sometimes I think going on a regular date might be nice.  When I refer to date, it is in the “going to a movie” or “going out to dinner” sort of way, not in the prostitute sort of way they refer to their clients as “dates”.  Where does the modern gay man find dates other than at the bar?  It seems our choices are somewhat limited.

Who reads craigslist for missed connections?  Does that work?  It seems like the “needle in the haystack” approach to me.  Most of the posts are something like:  ”We were shopping at the same store, I saw you, you saw me, what was I wearing and what did I have in my shopping cart?”  Wow, that could be anyone!  I think being more direct would probably be a better approach.  I would rather just try talking to the potential date rather than some sort of cryptic cyberspace plea. 

Once I made the mistake of putting something to the effect of “Looking for a date” in my gay.com bio line.  It was met almost instantaneously with “A date is nothing but a dried up piece of fruit” by some bitter queen in the chat room. Ok, I did ask for that one I suppose.  

Are all the dates literally dried up?  Are most of us just moving from one trick to the next?  Are relationships formed when a trick simply won’t leave the next day?

I know real dates exist, after all, I have gone on a few.  Furthermore, I don’t really think that all gay men are as hopeless as the dried fruit one from the chat room.  For those who know me best, they realize I don’t make myself readily available for dating, so it’s not as if I am disillusioned since I have not been actively pursuing it.

 I would like to open up a discussion for readers of this blog to discuss their favorite dating spots.  Where do you meet them?  I am not referring to tricks, but where was the last place you met someone that you went out with on a date?  Also, If anyone has a successful craigslist story, lets hear it!

It is time for another episode of The Mopod Show.  Staring your favorite Web 2.0 “Z” list celebrities.  In this episode Dangina phones in from a beach in beautiful Malibu.  Listen as Dangina, Ruphus, and Peasha pick each other apart for your amusement, all in good fun of coarse.  This week is a shorty show, but we could not let a week go by without putting something out for everyone.  Enjoy, and drop us an email or comment.  We would love to hear from you!

I was watching a movie where John Waters was speaking in front of an audience of university students.  One of the topics he brought up was the threshold that everyone has towards certain things.  For example, he said that adult babies and diapers was at his limit and was not acceptable to him.  Now, as we all know, if John Waters has limits of acceptability, we can all admit that we do also at some level.  This brings me to my question of the day:  

How gay is too Gay?  

Is there a limit to what we find acceptable within our community on how “Gay” a person can act?

Don’t give me this “I act straight” stuff.  Really, how straight can you act when have gay sex anyways.  What do grab your ankles like a straight man?  Do you perform felatio like straight guys do?  I am sure that if you did, it would be horrible…a truly straight guy would not be into it at all.  I suppose that that acting straight is more for in “the streets”.  I assure you other gay people can tell.  As for straight people, many of them were fooled by Boy George in the 80’s and can’t believe that Lance Bass was gay this whole time….need I say more.  O.k…..fine, butch guys are hot.

Then on the other end of the spectrum  Is it necessary to wear your gayness in the form of super tight pants, satin shirts, or perhaps a T-shirt that says “You’ve been a bad boy, go to my room” along with some freedom rings?  (that was a acknowledgement to someone is like a brother to me…..we’ve all made mistakes in fashion but I will always look fondly on the picture)  Is that gay or just bad fashion?  Do the two sometimes go hand in hand.  Yeah, they kind of do sometimes.

What does everyone else think…..what are your limits or what do you find unappealing?  

I suppose there is always room in the rainbow for even the tackiest of hues….well maybe.

Here is a link to a YouTube video of John Waters where he discusses limits.

John Waters

I thought about writing an even longer entry this time just to harass Ruphus.  I don’t think it will really turn out to be as long as the last one, but I will write as much as I can.  Some highlights from this past weekend include a dinner, a demon, a drink, and a Denise.  

First was the dinner.  I went to Texas Roadhouse, which I have decided to call Texas Roadkill or Texas Road Whore.  I kind of prefer Texas Road Whore, it is a little less expected.  Anyways, I went there with a friend “Mo-Problems”.  There was an unexpected wait of about 40 minutes, which was surprising since it was only 5:30.  Once we got seated we were immediately given some bread and butter, that kept getting replenished.  On top of that were enormous portions of food and never ending soda refills.  I guess everything is really bigger in Texas.  After that meal I had a Texas size food baby gestating in me that felt as if it would burst out through my front much like an alien.  Thankfully, that did not happen.  I probably won’t go back since it seemed more about quantity and not quality…although, it was a lot of food for the money. 

Next was the demon.  I went to see Hellboy 2:  The Golden Army.  I was excited to see this move since I think Guillermo Del Toro is brilliant.  Visually, this was an amazing movie.  There were also some great parts.  The story, however, was a little all over the place and I felt too much was being forced into one movie.  Mo Problems had actually fell asleep during part of it….I didn’t think it was that terrible.  I do usually like Selma Blair and look forward to seeing her in the American version of Kath and Kim.  The Australian show is awesome. 

The next item on the list was a drink.  I went out for drinks on Saturday night with Mo Problems.  We went to our normal bar, and my favorite in Omaha, Flixx.  It is a smaller bar, but I like it.  There are actually windows in this bar…..I know, a lot of queens would prefer a dark corner, but I like the windows.  The people who work there are also very nice.  I noticed an attractive bar tender when we first walked in.  Later, he revealed these large “bear” paws on his chest, one on each side over his pecs.  I could only think that Ruphus should be here…he’d love it (although I have to admit, it was nice to look at).  We also met a guy that came over to our table.  I cannot remember what he said his name was, but he kind of reminded me of Crispin Glover…I think I will call him Crispy Queen.  He actually seemed rather eccentric, but kind of cool at the same time.  As the bar filled up, it became more and more apparent something was different.  It was the smoke…there wasn’t any.  Omaha bars are now smoke free.  The evening ended with a game of spot the Kevin Dillon.  If you have read the previous posts, you may have seen the picture of Kevin Dillon with his Lesbian look.  The game is to find Lesbians with the same hair do, or that look similar to him in that movie.

Lastly, was the Denise.  A friend of mine got me an autographed picture of Denise Crosby.  He even had her sign it “To Peasha-with love”  As a sci-fi geek and lover of Star Trek the Next Generation, this is definately something I will treasure. My friend also told me that when he asked her to sign it to Peasha, she repeated “Peasha” back in a hesitant tone.  This made me think of a favor I would like to ask of anyone willing.  Next time you are at a sci-fi type convention, and see Denise Crosby, ask her to autograph something to Peasha.  I wonder if she will start to think it is some sort of conspiracy…….

It is time for another episode of the new and unedited Mopod show.  On this episode we discuss hot issues such as  terror free slushies, pimple tits, and Tribecca.  As always we discuss important current events.  It will all make sense once you listen…..we promise….well, maybe not.  In science news we discuss what is killing all the bats!  Is it boob fungus or something a little farther south.  Also, nazi hookers gone wild!  Finally, what exactly is Kevin Dillon anyways?  Listen and find out!
