The Six Pack

91: Without Horns

  • It’s an ‘All in the Family’ episode of The Six Pack this week with our guests Christopher Ciccone (Madonna’s brother) and Randy Roberts Potts (grandson of televangelist Oral Roberts.) Christopher opens up about growing up with Madge, his feelings on her new material, as well as his own non-Madonna ventures. Randy tells us about the Gay Agenda tour, his quest to show conservatives that gays are just like everyone else. We iron, we vacuum, we read the newspaper… Whoa, how horrifying! Can he save us? We’ll find out!
  • Trending this week: Rick Santorum wants to take away all your porn (apparently so he can have it for himself.) We’ve also got news about illegal loincloths and bargain bin vasectomies. Are these stories all connected? Quite possible.
  • This episode of The Six Pack is dedicated to Ben’s hernia, which he must have gotten from all the hardcore comedy lifting we do around here. So click play! (Lightly, of course; we don’t want you to hurt yourself.)

Finally, fill out our new listener survey and get a chance to win some great Six Pack Swag.

Short: Logan Levkoff

Dr. Logan Levkoff, sexologist, relationship expert, and author, joins us in studio for this latest Six Pack Short.

81: Bienvenidos a Miami

  • The Six Packin’ Across America tour reached South Beach for this suntastic, abtastic episode. We spent our days at the 12th street beach and our nights taking in all that South Beach has to offer. When not mingling with the locals, we sat down with Lords South Beach owner Brian Gorman to talk southern hospitality and what it means to own an “appropriately oriented” hotel.
  • We also chat with the most powerful gay couple in Miami, Steve Adkins and Cindy Brown, who are the head honchos over at the Miami-Dade Lesbian and Gay Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center.  (Yes, he’s gay and she’s a lesbian, but please follow us on this one!) They tell us all about how Miami became a hub of gay life in Florida and how the community has become to integrated into the city.  And Cindy tips us off on a major money-making app (involving the words “grind” and “her.”)
  • The main event of the trip was Sleepless Night, Miami’s 25-hour cultural festival, marking the end of daylight savings time with music, performance, art…and lots of espresso. So yes, The Six Pack hit South beach, the city of six packs, and lived to tell about it.  Wanna find out more about a great city? Check out the LGBT Center here and the Miami Chamber of Commerce here. And tell ‘em Ben and Dave sent ya!

77: Rainbow Trout

  • Henry Winkler (aka the Fonz) joins us this week for a cerebral, warm & fuzzy interview.  From Happy Days to Adam Sandler movies to his new found love of Twitter, Henry shares it all with a sprinkling of love. 
  • The news has us covering the news itself, as the New York Times seems to want to know a little more about Anderson Cooper’s love life. And have you been following #OccupyWallStreet? Some anarchists, hipsters, and communists have been gathering in downtown NYC to change the world. Will it work? If not, just hunker down in a smut bunker…yes, we’ll explain. 
  • We’re Werkin’ It with Jeff Kagan, the man behind the NYC gay sports leagues. We discuss changing stereotypes and whether sports and hanky-panky can co-exist. 
  • Fall has just begun.  Button up your sweater and listen in to this edition of The Six Pack.

59: Return of the Murse

  • Comedian Judy Gold helps us ring in the new year from Las Vegas, where surprise, surprise, she’s stirring up some trouble.
  • 2010 wouldn’t be complete without a final edition of Top to Bottom (powered by Queerty.com) and a Crime Time wrap-up of our favorite gay crimes of the year. Some aren’t exactly gay, but just too good to pass up on.
  • The year ended with a whopper of a snowstorm in NYC, but we promise there’ll only be sunshine when we hit up Turks and Caicos in May. Your new year’s resolution better be to join us! Find out more info about our fantastic voyage with Straight Out Adventures on this episode!
