Swish Edition

This election day episode features a very revealing and entertaining chat with the one and only Traci Lords direct from Southern California. This notorious vixen hasn't tried to hide from her early porn beginnings, but at the same time is most interested in talking about being the mother of a 5-year old, how she keeps an emergency bikini in the trunk of her car, and how her role in the cult movie Cry Baby is her all time favorite. Plus, this actress, writer, director and singer discusses her new scary movie Excision and her new electro-pop dance music album, Traci Lords Presents M2F2 from Sea to Sun Recordings. And we recommend both this fall! And of course we have Traci's tracks He's My Bitch and Last Drag for ya! Our entraining chat with Traci starts at the 39:00 minute mark of the episode. As our special guest host this week, we welcome the Executive Director of the Capital Area Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce in the studio. Mark Guenther leads this very important organization--winner of 2012's Chamb

Hurricane Sandy didn't keep Dale & Scott from putting together a fresh new episode for ya this week. Although, Steven J. Walker is missing (well, not missing, just stuck on the other side of the bloated Potomac River), we were able to talk to our Gay-on-the-Ground in New York City, Justin Luke, as well as our very own gay manners expert, Steven Petrow. Four out of five ain't bad. This week, the boys talk about the storm, Rod Stewart's stomach full of cum, Ricki Lake's new talk show, Obama's pledge to let the states discriminate against us, how Bobbi Christina Brown might spend Whitney's millions, will.i.am's take on the Entertainment Tonight theme song, and much more! That and Justin tells us about what's hot in Manhattan nightlife and all about his new novel that hits bookstores today; we can't wait to read Gulliver Takes Five! And Steven Petrow has some advice on alternatives to engagement rings, how to deal with Facebook friends who love Romney, when it's cool to announce your wedding, and more! It's a

What's better than three hosts? Five, of course. This week, we welcome back to the studio, comedians Chris Doucette & Zach Toczynski as our co-hosts for a record third time. As you might remember, these are the dudes behind Washington, DC's Gaylarious comedy showcase (happening again this Thursday, October 25 at Lakazbah Lounge) and they never disappoint with their quick and decidedly dirty wit. Our kinda guys! The free-flowing conversation starts with discussions about Lindsay Lohan's drinking problem (breaking news, that); Cher's leaked new single (we like it); Matt Bomer can't be Superman because he's gay (or so says Jackie Collins); Abercrombie & Fitch's CEO is a major scumbag; Andrew Christian knows how to dress his guys as sluts for Halloween (thank God!); as well as, stories from Kathy Griffin's recent gig in DC, the boys' bus tour of Virginia wineries, and past show guest Ebone Bell's TAGG Magazine launch party. After that, the guys welcome writer, actor, director and musician Greg Scarnici to

This week, the boys are back together after a week off and their celebrating independent music week with two new songs from their favorite pop cuties, Daniel Robinson and Joey Salinas. We've featured Daniel's tunes on the show before, but he just won the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest for 2012 for his The Last Night, which we play for you this week. Get Daniel's music and learn more about this dynamic up-and-coming singer/songwriter at iamdanielrobinson.com. And, for the first time on the show, Joey shares with us his, Luv Me, the first single off his upcoming album Identity: Chapter II which drops December 11. He's also busy on upcoming duet projects with frequent Swish guest, singer/songwriter Tom Goss, Elin Melgarejo of Brazilian jazz band Alma Tropicalia, and Jesse Jackson, aka DJ MadScience. Get Joey's music on iTunes and learn more about this awesome new talent at joey-salinas.com. Plus, Steve talks about attending the Human Rights Campaign's national dinner; Scott tells us about his trip t

We've said it before...we knew we'd be in trouble when we got to our 100th episode. And here we are. See, we started by numbering the first episode as EP100, so now that we're releasing the 100th episode, we've got EP200. Confusing? Yes. But guess what? You don't care! Just shut up and listen to all the fun! This week, we welcome the legendary Martha Wash to the show. She chats with Scott about the 30th anniversary of her classic disco hit, It's Raining Men--which we got permission to play for you--and all about her first new album off all new material in almost 20 years. That's called, Something Good, and it'll be out later this year. You'll dig her behind-the-scenes stories and learn what's in store for one of the LGBT communities best friends. That chat and song kicks in at the 25:00 minute mark. Also up this week, the boys discuss George Michael not-so-down-under; Justin Bieber in bondage; Adele sings for James Bond; our picks for the best 2012 Halloween costumes; and all about the Fall TV shows we're dig

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to the 99th flight of Swish Air. We've been cleared for take off and your flight crew--Dale, Scott & Steve--are in the cockpit and they're pulling back on their yokes. Ready for the jokes? This week, we welcome back to the show the first lady of the skyways, Pam Ann. This international air hostess is one of the funniest comediennes we know and we were thrilled that she made time for us again. She talks about her transition to living in New York City, her stint at the XL Nightclub, her upcoming European tour, crewing for pain-in-the-ass Elton John, all about her new DVD, her plans for a Pam Ann movie, and so much more. Pam (aka Caroline Reid) is so dirty and so very un-PC. Our kinda girl! We also have two new songs from our OTHER favorite funny lady Miss Sherry Vine! We've been chatting with her lately and learned that she just keeps churning them out. One is an original called, Lost In You, and a parody of Alisha Keys' Girl On Fire, which Sherry made into Girl For Hire

Get ready, boys & girls, we've got quite a filled-to-the-rim episode for ya this week! First up, Dale, Scott & Steve welcome their special in-studio guest host, Broadway star turned fitness guru Craig Ramsay and learn all about his many talents. This hottie played hockey (as every good Canadian does), learned ballet, mastered contortionism, worked as a fitness model, starred in countless Broadway and traveling stage shows, was featured on Bravo's Thintervention, and is now a sought-after fitness and life coach with a series of online courses, DVDs and books. Whew! Dude is busy, busy. (And did we mention that he's a total hunk, too?) You'll enjoy listening about his exciting life. Plus, he sits in with the boys when they discuss American Idol & X-Factor judges; Craig's parents are never watching America's Got Talent again; Steve & Scott's weekend at the Jersey shore; West Hollywood's rainbow crosswalks; Rupert Everett's silly comments about gays raising kids; Jane Lynch and the fish; and, much

Wow. This is quite a new episode of the Swish Edition. You can always tell when your friendly neighborhood talk show hosts had a few drinks before powering up the studio. Dumb hilarity ensues, folks. First, the boys welcome back to the studio their good friends Eboné Bell and Angell Lynn, two DC chicks who always bring a little extra fun to the show. Eboné tells us all about her brand new magazine that launches today in Washington, DC, called Tagg Magazine, aimed at the District's lesbian community. (And host Scott is one of the premiere issue's columnists. Beware!) We also have Steve's tales from Southern Decadence, our thoughts on Obama and the pot smokers, Dale spots Steve's mom in his alley, covering up the taste of cock with brand new Listerine-like strips on the market, the girls' trip to Hollywood, Dale and Scott are featured on Episode 202 of HereTV's Just Josh for their first television interview, gay night at Six Flags in New Jersey, and much more. Then, the guys welcome to the studio, Jake Bass, Ma

The boys are back together in the DC studio for a fun new show that covers Prince Harry's naked romp in Vegas; Mattel is releasing their first drag queen Barbi; Snooki pops out a baby; Calvin Klein's ex-boytoy is writing a tell-all book; Kid Rock loves Romney-Ryan; and, Salt Lake City still hates the gays. Then, Scott chats with the one-and-only Frenchie Davis. This talented, enterprising singer, former Broadway star, and American Idol and The Voice contestant, has her first solo album of dance tracks coming out September 4--including the first single, Love's Got a Hold On Me--she's working on a Christmas album, and she's creating her own line of plus-size lingerie. Girl has a lot going on! We especially liked her remembrances of her four year stint in Rent on Broadway and what it meant for her social life, for one. Hear the Frenchie chat at the 28:50 minute mark of the show. And after a short tease of Frenchie's new song, we've got the latest crazy parody from Sherry Vine. As you might have guessed, Sherry t

We're out of the studio and into the wilds of Fire Island, New York, for a very special episode of the Swish Edition. Scott & Steve (Dale was sadly MIA) report from this most amazing and storied summer playground of the gays. They breakdown their adventures in both Fire Island proper as well as their stay at the Grove Hotel in Cherry Grove, where they watched drag queens swim for their tips, enjoyed Daniel Nardicio's Icon Series featuring comedians/singers Lea Delario and Sandra Bernhard, and danced to the wee hours of the morning. Then, they head to the beautiful bayside home of the one and only Michael Lucas of Lucas Entertainment fame. This sometimes controversial figure talks about his steadfast support of Israel, why he goes the extra mile to make sure his adult films are first rate with high quality production values, why he believes safe sex films are the only way to go, what he loves to do at 3:00am, and much, much more. Your hosts had an amazing time sitting on the deck, watching the water, and c

This week, we kick off the episode with a short chat with Australian supermodel Daniel Garofali the new face of C-IN2's GRIP Athletic line of underwear. This model/dancer/writer/television host is such a great guy and he talks about his love of KIVA.org, the Australian Olympic team, and C-IN2! And to top it off, C-IN2 is giving a lucky Swish Edition listener a GRIP Athletic gift pack (which will include a calendar and DVD from Daniel!). Watch the hot GRIP video and register here to be entered to win! Start listening at the 15:30 minute mark for Daniel! After that, the hosts talk to the incredibly talented Grammy winning songwriter Allee Willis from her home in Los Angeles. Allee has written thousands of songs, many of which you know by heart, such as I'll Be There For You (The Theme from "Friends"); Earth, Wind & Fire's September and Boogie Wonderland; The Pointer Sister's Neutron Dance, and countless others. She starts out by telling us how she came to be working with Charo right now on a new album. Yup,

It's a brand new week and that means a brand new episode is coming your way! The guys are back in the studio after being off last week...so there's much to discuss. And for a change, it's just the boys shooting the shit (with a small break for a cool new song). Dale, Scott & Steve talk about, Steve's trip to New York City to see Broadway shows with his family; the bulges and near-naked shots from the London Olympics; the Swish hosts pose for Adam Bouska's NOH8 campaign; a final word on the whole Chik-fil-A mess; and, Elton John is a big douche who hates Madonna for no real reason! All that, plus The Matrix director Larry Wachowski is now Lana; the Democrats officially embrace same-sex marriage; which U.S. city is the coolest according to Forbes magazine; Las Vegas' Krave is going to get MUCH bigger; and, RuPaul's Drag Race All-Star cast revealed! PLUS, AN IMPORTANT UPDATE The guys share with you the controversy that sprouted out of our Episode 192. On the last episode, Scott & Steve chatted on-locatio

Huge episode this week, boys and girls! It's so jam-packed with Swishy goodness, you might have to listen in pieces. But beware! First up, Scott & Steve chat about the hot topics of the week, including, Mariah Carrey joining American Idol; the homophobic Chik-fil-A and Boy Scouts of America; the douche that is Mike Huckabee; why private companies shouldn't have to cater to the gays if they don't want to; actor Stephen Moyer wants more gay sex for his character on True Blood; funny man Fred Willard needs to get the internet (it's for porn, you know?); Scott is joining Justin Luke's new JustinPlusSix.com blog; and, Edina and Patsy are back with an Olympics special on the BBC America. Then, Scott chats with YouTube phenom Charlie Hides, direct from his London home. This very talented performer has entertained audiences throughout the United States and Europe for decades and has recently made a big splash with his creative music video parodies and skits featuring the best of his original characters as well as

We're thrilled to talk with the hilarious and hairy, husband and husband comedy duo of Dick & Duane on this week's hot new episode. Richie Cohen and Duane Tragis had us in stitches and we just wish you could SEE the whole thing (we did it via video Skype) because besides being funny, they are so bearishly cute, too. They'll tell you how they've been together since they were teenagers, how they got started doing their ingenious brand of sketch comedy, why they decided to bare it ALL in online pictures and videos (which are not work safe), and all about the new web series they're working on. Their segment kicks in at the 32:20 mark in the episode. Also up this week, Dale & Scott are on-location at the Paradise nightclub in Asbury Park, New Jersey for a chat with the Swish Edition's very first lady spinner! New York City's DJ Kim Dazy was at the shore for the weekend, entertaining the beach goers and taking a break from her permanent gig at Manhattan's Henrietta Hudson. We always wondered how deejays fee

This week, our gay-on-the-ground in New York City, Justin Luke, interviews popular blogger and author Justin Hernandez about his new book, Inside the Vortex. This moving memoir examines how denial, cover-ups and secrecy affect your decision-making process. His blog, Naked in New York City, is an emotional naked look at this dancer cum writer's life. And Justin on Justin gets to the nitty gritty like only Swish Edition can. (This street interview segment kicks in at the 38:35 minute mark.) Then, we have a visit from our good friend, the parody queen, Miss Sherry Vine in-studio. This appearance marks her 10th visit...more than any other Swish guest. She brings along her newest parody song, These Lips, based on Nicki Minaj's Starships. It tells the story of Sherry trying to get her lips around actor Joe Manganiello's penis. Yup, you read that right! And only Sherry can get away with that. (Sherry's song and chat starts at the 53:00 minutes mark.) Plus, the hosts talk about the new HIV home test; the gay cruise t

We love the funny guys. And if they're hot, too...even better! So when we got to video Skype with hilarious comedian Adam Sank this week, we were treated to many laughs and a very nice view. Too bad you can't take a look, too. We got to see his butt! Adam is one of the hardest working guys in the world of comedy today. He’s performed at all the major comedy clubs in New York City and was featured on season six of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, as well as a host of other television shows. He’s headlined events on Fire Island, in the Poconos of Pennsylvania, and Rehoboth, Delaware. He’s toured most the country, worked plenty in Los Angeles…and here’s the best part, guys, not only is he really good looking, but he’s also not afraid to perform buck naked. If you listen to the show, you'll find out how that came to be. Not sure we'd be so comfortable performing in the all-together for 800 gay dudes. WHo are ALSO naked, mind you. (Hmmm. Where is this place?) Adam's segment starts at the 33:05 mark. Also up this week, t

We were absolutely thrilled to talk to New York City & Fire Island's legendary nightlife promotor Daniel Nardicio this week. His DWorld Events throws some of the most creative, sexy parties in the city and at the beach, including this summer's amazing Icon Series that will feature the likes of Liza Minelli, Alan Cumming, Margaret Cho and many other A-listers. Daniel--who was once called "The King of NYC queer sleaze" by the Village Voice--has really done it all. He's an entrepreneur, an actor, a radio personality, he created the (now defunct) DList.com, he revived Playgirl magazine and was the dude who booked Levi Johnston and (our friend) Ronnie Kroelle, and he's a dirty boy at heart. That's why we loved talking to him so much! And you'll LOVE the stories he has to tell. Not work safe, boys. You've been warned. Best yet, Dale, Scott & Steve have been invited to take the show to Fire Island later this summer. And since we've never been...we're already packing our bags! Yup, we want to stay in Daniel's

Look, boys! The Swish Edition is back with a fresh new episode with all the boys together in one room! Steven J. Walker returns from his mega-vacation to join Dale and Scott in the studio. Ready for some major silliness? We've got that...and much more. This week, we have the return of hottie singer Aiden Leslie who talks to Scott and Steve between gigs at Washington, DC and New York City's Pride events, where he performed his new song, "Diamond Dreams." Aiden tells us about the journey behind the new song, his touring schedule, and why he decided to climb into a pair of long johns and nothing else in the most recent issue of DNA. We've got Aiden's song "Trying To Leave Now," too, because "Diamond Dreams" isn't quite ready for the airwaves yet.Our chat with Aiden starts at the 41:40 point in the show. Then, Scott chats with Adam Goldman, the creator of the super hot gay web series, The Outs. Adam writes, directs and acts in this amazing, dark comedy about relationships in New York City. Shot on a shoestring (w

Starting with this week's fresh new episode...we're even FRESHER! Instead of taping the show early in the week and waiting until Thursday to release it, we're dropping our new episode just as soon as it comes out of the oven. Fresher content. Quicker release. Dirtier and funnier than ever! This week, Dale & Scott welcome back to the studio Chris Doucette and Zach Toczynski, the two funniest guys they know. As guest hosts (filling in for the still-vacationing Steven J. Walker), Chris & Zach will keep you in stitches with their quick wit and dirty minds. Gotta love that! The guys are the masterminds behind DC's monthly Gaylarious comedy showcase at the Riot Act theater, dontcha know. If you find yourself in your nation's capital on the first Wednesday of each month (save for July & August), you've gotta check out one of the funniest shows around. Also up this week, singer and Broadway vet Matt Zarley returns to the show to talk about his new music video contest and we have his latest single, Trust M

First off, this is not your every week Swish Edition episode. THIS, dear listeners, is the premiere episode of Swish After Dark. It's a little dirtier. A little bolder. And probably not work safe. Your hosts Dale & Scott start off by talking about their weekend, a bit about Madonna's leaked rehearsal video, a Japanese man who served his own penis to paying customers, that real-life naked zombie attack in Florida, and homemade dildos. Then, they throw it to New York City, where the Swish gay-on-the-ground in New York City, Justin Luke, chats it up with CockyBoys.com's Pierre Fitch, Max Ryder and Jake Bass about all things sexual and the new movie they shot last weekend, Project Go-Go Boy. The chat starts at the xx:xx mark. You'll learn their dick sizes, preferred positions, how they got into porn and soooo much more. Oh, and all about the process Pierre went through to create his own dildo. Yup, you can buy it. Finally, Dale & Scott answer some listener emails and then they're out as quickly as they ca
