    Hey, Big Spender!

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 249!  The Boys are off at a Birthday Party but before they headed out to celebrate someone's birthday, they got this one in the can for you.  It's only the second visit to the "Trash Talk Tea Party!  The inaugural visit was such a hit, The Boys had to dial it up again with the few minutes they had.   That's right it's a condensed version for you this week full of tea and deets for you!  Mark & Casey are mixing it up this week and spilling lots of tea and painting the trash from recent headlines while they are off celebrating a 40th. A 40th what??  Wouldn't you like to know??   Topics this week include -- what the hell is up with all the junk mail political flyers you're receiving?? Casey's got spilling some stats and The Boys have plenty of thoughts and questions on the subject.  And the Department of Defense spent what on what????!!  Recent revelations have hit the news cycle and it's horrifying to see how our hard earned dollars are being elaborately spent. And this is on top of the mind-blowing spending reported on DHS last month.  Also -- with the war on Iran the US and Israel have aggressed, the global fallout is just beginning.  An out of touch, and increasingly disliked movie actor finds himself on the wrong side of the conversation again... he just can't seem to stop rolling around in dog sh*t.  This is just the latest moment showing off his ego and elitist personality. Closing out the Trash Tea Party, Mark has got the piping hot tea on a gubernatorial candidate banned from WaffleHouse.  And of course, The Boys have a recommendation for you, despite the condensed format to get some nuggets in your stream this week.  You're gonna love this one and want to make sure you're getting right on to it. This one's a fast paced, streaming hot one for you!  You'll wanna be sure you've got a fresh diaper and a full ( and short) glass of a bold port vintage for this one.  So get 'cha a bed sheet, and pull up a seat to join your GBFFs at the table.  Get ready!  It's time to paint!! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Let The Boys of Painted Trash know your thoughts on this week's topics and episode!

    No Right To Vote

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 245 -- No Right To Vote!  The United States Congress has passed the S.A.V.E Act -- otherwise referred to as the Protect Voting Act. The Boys have reviewed the details of the controversial bill and are bringing you what you need to know in this week's Midsection. Conceptually it may all make sense -- and the talking points by it's supporters will have you believe it's about protecting election integrity and being sure non-citizens (read illegals) (and the dissenters) do not vote.  After looking into the bill, The Boys have found this bill is full of challenges to basic voting right among US citizens.  What are those challenges?   Who is affected by the proposed rules?  Also what about the timing? You'll get what you need to know and what you can and need to do about this dangerous and illegal bill.  Suffice it to say -- you gotta fight for your right (and the rights of everyone) to VOTE!! Kicking things off this week in The Tea Party, Casey and Mark are discussing some of the scoring at the Winter Olympics this year and the trash scoring that seems to happen season after season.  In Trash Talk this week include the Scarecrow From Hell embarrasses herself not just with her terrible hair but her abhorrent behavior during a Congressional hearing; Jill Zarin is bac... wait -- just kidding, she's fired; and a new movie announces AI casting to bring a tubber back to the silver screen. All of this and recommendations too??  You betcha!  With all of this tea and discourse, you're gonna want a fresh diaper and a full glass of a tasty port vintage.  So grab yourself both and pull up a seat to the table with your GBFFs.  It's time to paint! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Let The Boys of Painted Trash know your thoughts on this week's topics and episode!

This week's episode is kicking off with some tea spilling -- inside details of some of the stories you may know something (or absolutely nothing) about and it's gonna get salty, spicy, sweet, or bitter -- or all of 'em!  Depends on this week's blend. This week's tea spilling involves some Chicago theatre tea and Amazon is really screwing up left and right resulting in some speculation on what happened to one of the newer features now closed up. This week's Mid-Section is discussing the opening of the new documentary, Melania.  It's already storied film considering it's spent more money between production and marketing than more than 7-10 documentaries previously released when totaled together.  Why was this film made?  What does it show?  What are critics saying? What are audiences saying? What is the crew saying?  It's all being discussed. In Trash Talk this week, The Boys are discussing a new filing from Maxine Ghiswell in Federal Court; after her home falls into foreclosure, one illegal immigrant blows up her career by pledging allegiance to MAGA; and how would you react when you found out your "friend" drugged you?   This week's recommendation is a not to be missed new series just dropped! The Boys are back and they are firing on all cylinders right out the gate!  Hilarity, discourse, and heaps of faggotry abound.  So put on a fresh diaper, pour yourself some of that top shelf port vintage, and pull up a seat because it's time to paint! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Let The Boys of Painted Trash know your thoughts on this week's topics and episode!
