• Trending this week: People’s summer travel habits seem to be changing, according to a new study. Are you traveling less? Not going as far? Spending more time at nude beaches? We have some stats that might surprise you. Also, for those of you watching your waist, 7-Eleven is coming out with a diet Slurpee. No, we can’t confirm if there will be vitamins in it. And finally, a man who fathered 30 children now doesn’t want to pay child support. Is he your father? Yes, probably.
• Also, we hit up the Bonobos pop-up store in Boston. Have we mentioned they sell great fitting pants? If you’re in the Boston area, go check out the store at 85 Newbury street and tell them Ben and Dave sent ya!
• Summer is upon us. Pack your beach bag, headphones, and beverage of choice (a diet Slurpee perhaps?) - and listen to episode 96 now!

• Carnie Wilson and Lizz Winstead join us for a very girly edition of The Six Pack. First, Ben’s dream is realized as we finally get some quality time with Carnie Wilson from Wilson Phillips. Carnie tells us what it was like finding success so early in life and the insecurities that still stick with her. She also opens up about her born-again Christian bandmate Chyna Phillips and reveals how she deals with Twitter haters. Don’t cross Carnie, that’s all we’ll say!
• Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead gives us her thoughts on that bully Mitt Romney, and she ain’t messing around. Her new book “Lizz Free or Die” also gives us some personal insight into Lizz’s own life, including her childhood ambition to be a priest.
• In Trending it was a huge gay week with Obama’s big coming out announcement in support of gay marriage. Have you bought your LGBT Obama-ware yet? Also, did you know that dinosaur farts were heating up the Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago? A new study says it is true, and if it was studied, we believe it!
• Now it’s your turn to believe in us by listening to the newest Six Pack right now!

LZ Granderson, CNN and ESPN columnist, joins us for the latest Six Pack Short.

• Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham from NBC’s ‘Best Friends Forever’ join us to talk about being…best friends forever! What’s it like to co-star, co-write and co-produce a sitcom and still remain friends? (Perhaps calling from separate locations is the key!)
• Trending this week: Social media skills may be eroding our actual ability to socialize. Is that a problem? And if so, do you have anyone to talk to about it? Google has released its new cloud storage system, but is it worth using if you have to give up your digital rights to intellectual property? We dissect. And finally, Adam Lambert recently spoke out about the gay community not always supporting its own people. We offer up our two cents on the man with the high hair.
• We also bring back another edition of Werkin’ It, this time with Mark Vogler from Out in the Vineyard. We’ll be joining Mark and many other wine loving gays for Gay Wine Weekend 2012 in Sonoma County in June. Wanna share a couple bottles with us? Click here and find out more.
• Six Pack 94 is ready for you, so tell your best friend to join you and laugh together. (Or just tweet at them…)

• Comedy legend Richard Lewis joins The Six Pack this week. We somehow managed to get our lines crossed (literally) and gave him the wrong phone number, so this interview jumps off on a neurotic note… as if Richard would have it any other way! Did he curse us out at the end? Hang up on us? Or did we hang up on him? You’ll find out!
• Trending this week has some good news for alcoholics (congrats), as well as a list of all the new-fangled marketing terms you’re going to need to impress your boss. Don’t worry, ‘plussification’ isn’t as dirty as it sounds. And did you know you can be gay in the video game ‘Star Wars: The Old Republic?’ Just in case being gay in this universe isn’t enough for you. 
• Sabin Blake, a marketing manager for Cadillac, joins us in studio to talk cars, corporate culture, and what it’s like being a cover model! Yes, Sabin was the subject of the cover story “Black and Gay in Corporate America,” which won a 2012 GLAAD award. Sabin is also heavily involved with The Ruth Ellis Center, one of the four places in the country that deal exclusively with LGBT homeless youth.
• All that, plus a recap of our LGBT Influencer soiree, Ben’s stalking of Carnie Wilson and more. Click play now!
