I hate to say it but I love when Mehran flirts/sexually harasses Keith.

So I'm the only one who got a super old show in my VIP feed?

I want Mehran please!

I totally understand what Mehran was saying about tokenism and people wanting to be friends just because they're basically collecting people. The relationship doesn't happen organically, it's forced the whole time, and the person isn't appreciating your personality and your humanity. That sucks.

Edit: Chemda did GREAT discussing the history of feminism. It ebbs and flows. We move forward in real ways (women can vote, they can hold credit cards in their own names, etc), but then haven't moved an inch in other ways (rape culture). There's a reason that we've identified three distinct waves of feminism, as Chemda pointed out. And today we need to do a lot with issues of intersectionality. White cis women have had center stage for too long and it's time for us to step back and listen (as I'm sitting here lecturing, yes, I see the irony).

Download from the regular / non-VIP feed this one time. That worked for me.

I used to work at a sex toy shop in the West Village and we sold poppers. I was told they were very much illegal if being sold for the purpose of inhalation but on the label it says they were for nail polish removal like acetone. That's how they get away with it.

Mother fuck fuck. Thank you. 1,000 points to you.

Let me know if you still have problems in a little bit.

Danny!!!

the sex shop i worked in sold them as VHS cassette cleaning liquid.

I get all horny cleaning VHS tapes.

I use poppers quite a bit, they don’t make me hard they just make super horny and into the moment even if I’m not feeling it with that person, which is trouble they have gotten me in. It’s a loose (literally) feeling and it puts you in the sexual moment. If I use them with someone I’m into it makes things insanely intense. A problem however is that the next day I usually have a major headache and my lungs feel irritated. They are able to be sold because they’re sold as tape cleaner, head cleaner or nail polish remover but they’re obviously marketed for sex but they put a do not inhale warning on the side. I find rush to be good but I find jungle juice Platnium to be stronger with some effects and Amsterdam is strong and has the strongest effect on me but I’m tore up for two days minimum after using them and feel like shit and there is a dirty feeling after using them. In a way I personally am dependent on them for hooking up through apps, because like Mehran said it’s hard to connect sexually through an app. My hookups from meeting people in person have been much better and much heavier and sexier, and if poppers were used it was just fire but the poppers are just a bonus. Guess honestly I do just like fucking with myself a little lol.

Poppers are super fun.

Also, I literally just saw the top 4 Rupaul's Drag Race Season 10 queens LAST NIGHT. The show was packed in a mid- sized theater. It was a birthday gift. My bf loved the show, and the host even asked all the straight men there to stand up. There weren't a lot, but there were some. The were a TON of straight women there.

TONS of people love drag race // that is why DragCon is such a hit:

BUT most of the "straight" folks loving drag race are teenage girls/women who crave fantasy & glamour in their life...

Well now I wanna try poppers.

Mehran’s squeel is epic lol

Get ready for your dick to get hard & your bhole loose! :eek::rolleyes::cool:

*takes a sniff* “Wooohoo! Now we’re cooking with gas! Honey! Where’s the broom? The one with the big handle!”

This culdesac is about to get lit as the kids say.

Wow, Mehran was always a great listen but he turned it up to 100 on this one. Makes me wanna starve myself and reroute my intestines. Just a really interesting voice and I enjoyed him spending a little more time sharing his thought processes which he did with great eloquence.

That’s not what I think he was saying personally. I think he was more saying the gay scene used to be more fun, more personable, and I agree. Much like straight dating it’s a lot of apps and not a lot of interaction in person which has changed the way we date and even hookup. None of it is personable anymore, it’s hard to just go out to a gay bar and meet someone. When I’ve met people outside of apps I feel I’m able to build a connection for whatever may come whether it be a hookup, friendship or relationship; you don’t get that at all when you’re on an app. I’m younger than Mehran but I’ve noticed big changes in just the past 5 years. As for the women comments, I think his wording is just bad. He wasn’t saying they haven’t struggled, he’s saying that there have been larger than life women figures in the past who had a voice, he feels the women have always had a voice but instead of everyone trying to fall under one umbrella everyone needed to find their own personal voice and take a stand for what they personally want in the women’s movement. I don’t think I worded it much better but I get what he was attempting to say

Re: The "women have always had a voice" comment...

May I present Exhibit A: #MeToo

Exhibit B: Most of us STILL get cents to the man's dollar = money/power == voice a lot in this country/world.

Exhibit C: The fact that we are STILL debating Roe v Wade

Women have HAD voices, but they have been voices that have had to fight to be heard and STILL get dismissed by a lot of society to this day...

There were many women that didn't vote for Hillary cause they didn't think a WOMAN could be fit for the job...

There are WOMEN who don't believe women can evolve, have a voice & have power.

(Disclaimer - I voted for Bernie, cause I wasn't a fan of her specifically, but I voted for her in the big race)

Mehran's so good. Have him on at least once a week if you want.

i think Mehran is awesome. he's been and done and he's not stupid or unversed. that being said, he sounded like an old man on his front porch shaking stick at the youth. awwwww, are we not grateful enough for Dixie Carter (who, btw, did not share Julia Sugarbaker's progressivism)? hmmm? is 3rd wave feminism different from first and second wave? are we not using their words and instead our own to reflect our modern times the way they did? do we not still have miles to go before we sleep?! put your cane down, Grandpa.

fuck. the real is, i LOVE Julia Sugarbaker.

sucking dick uphill in the snow BOTH WAYS!!!

(peace and love, peace and love)

SNL even did a sketch about it - https://vimeo.com/216484271

I've used poppers. It doesn't really do anything extra to me. I've only used it during sex but it doesn't make me any hornier or anything. meh. But I've fucked with dudes who like can't go like 4 minutes without taking a hit and it kinda turned me off

Maybe Keith is a better gay than me

Mehran has easily become one of my favorite guests, please have him on more

{shriiiiiek!} {giggling}
 

I always love the energy on the show when Mehran is on. So much laughing. So much squeal-shrieking. So much yelling (all in love, of course).

{claps hands gleefully}

Also, I think it's all a trick and Chemda and Keith are BOTH good cops.

(P.S. Not cops at all. I don't have cops tattooed on my right arm. So therefore, NOT COPS AT ALL, I repeat. {mock glare})

The Fun Police
 

I think the fun police recently went after banning poppers in the UK. All I remember about poppers is I could buy it from the dungeon underneath my favourite record shop and I sniffed it a couple of times in the girls toilets at secondary school.

Gave me a headache and I was horny all the time so who knows.

Madonna’s Body of Evidence might only be 8% on Rotten Tomatoes. But it’s now on the To Do list. Followed by ‘clean non-existent VHS tapes...’

I love Mehran. He’s like a well-mannered T Dillon 😂

Seeing a lot of love for Mehran here which is great! Thought I’d mention that he’s the next My Opening Line guest so make sure you’re subscribed!

I just listened to it on my way home! So good! Janine is a hero of mine too. I would totally cry at her feet too lol

The fact we got only 6 minutes of this magnificence is flat-out rude.

Spoiler alert: It features one of my all time favourite "Don't mess with The Kid"s.

Silent Trailers
 

I didn’t know we were doing homosexual movies.

“Being John Malkovitch is gay?!”

It’s a very gay movie. You enter John Malkovitch - that’s gay.

I’d say hilarious but I feel like I just watched my team get beat due to bad ref calls or something. The pain in Keith’s face was intense. I can’t believe he didn’t at least blurt out TOM HANKS GETS AIDS. The Wonder Woman/ movie /miss- yikes.

Its uh... it’s not good. When. The F. Is the rematch???

Also. Damn Mehran got skills. I don’t know what kinda Movie Pass he has, if Chemda gave him questions ahead of time, or how he’s cheating, but he’s clearly juicing.

Re. Match. REMATCH!!!

"I would drive you to an abortion, I'd stick a finger up your butt"

LOL

What Keith describes about having those weird 'what if' thoughts. Everyone has them. Your brain (for some strange reason) makes them pop up now and then. It likes imagining scenarios. You see one of those crumple zone things with barrels full of sand, usually in front of cement barriers or bridge supports. Your brain knows what they are for, and imagines what it must be like to run into one. Then you think for a split second what it would be like if you just turned the steering wheel ever so slightly....

Fortunately there's another part of the brain up front that is in charge of monitoring these thoughts. It's the adult in the room. It reaches out and slaps that thought silly and restores order. All of this occurs in about 1/10th of a second. 99.9% of people never follow through on stupid thoughts like this.

Unfortunately if you have a brain disease or injury, or ADHD, that part of the brain doesn't fully function. You lack some impulse control. A thought comes into your brain, and before the adult can slap anything you're already acting on the stupid thought. This is how people with no particular childhood trauma and with a pretty nice home life growing up can still end up fucking up their lives.
