Swish Edition

We love to support gay business and continue our tradition of championing the ones that are getting it right. And we love when people come see us in the studio. And when that guy happens to be the co-founder and CEO of the hottest brands of fetish wear and related products on the scene--Nasty Pig--we're over the moon. David Lauterstein was in Washington, DC for the annual Mid-Atlantic Leather weekend and he took time out of his busy schedule to hang with Dale, Scott & Steve over a few beers. This guy started with a closet-sized store front in Manhattan, a sewing machine and a measly $50, and over the course of 17 years, has created quite a juggernaut. David shares stories about products that took off; how their super hot new jeans model got the job (see him below...and, um, to our dismay, he's straight!); his absolute commitment to high-quality products and construction; and, his definition of what his brand is really all about: "A nasty pig is a man who walks the street owning it."

This week, we're thrilled to welcome the hilarious comedy stylings of America's Gaysian Sweetheart, Alec Mapa, to the Swish Edition! This new dad talks to us from his kitchen while making turkey meatloaf for his son and he tells us all what to expect on the big gay cruise later this month; gives his recommendations for what to pack (i.e. condoms, lube and over-the-top, elaborate costumes!); why he misses the lovely cast of Ugly Betty; how parenting has completely changed his life (his 6 year old is a straight black kid who is obsessed with boobs, mind you); and all about his upcoming New York City show, Alec Mapa: Baby Daddy. And if the boys weren't excited enough to speak with Alec via Skype from his home in Los Angeles, they'll be tickled pink when they get to meet one of their favorite funny men onboard Atlantis' Allure of the Seas cruise later this month, on which Alec is a featured performer. Can't wait! Also on this episode, we bring you the music of singer, songwriter, actor and activist, Justin Utley.

To kick off the new year, Dale & Scott welcomed real-men-have-hair porn star COLBY KELLER to the studio on New Year's Eve. With his best friend and party host KARL MARKS by his side and a scotch on the rocks in his hand, Colby is a laid-back, fun-loving good sport who tells us about his love of crafts--including making his own penis menorah to celebrate Hanukkah--his love of beards, his near-disastorous first porn shoot, why Washington, DC's big granite monuments turns him on, why he sets up spanking stations at parties (which Scott dared to enter later that evening), and the weirdest things his fans have sent to him in the mail. Colby is foremost an artist and he talks about the blending of art and porn, too. You can get an idea of what he's talking about at his great personal blog, BigShoeDiaries. (Beware, the site is not quite work safe.) We loved having Colby and friends in the studio, and since he lives just up the road in Baltimore, we hope he'll cum back for more. Also up this week, we welcome Mr.

It's the holiday season, the first day of Winter, the last show of 2011, and a time for all of us to once again be thankful we've found each other! For our holiday special, Dale, Scott & Steve welcome back to the show, our Gay On The Ground in New York City, the author, the blogger, the nightlife promoter, JUSTIN LUKE. Justin has his top picks for what to do in Manhattan at Christmas time, he's got the low-down on New Year's Eve (skip Times Square, for one), he tells you what NOT TO MISS on Broadway, and so very much more. We love chatting with Justin, and we think you'll get a kick out of it, too. We also feature a short chat with three contestants from Season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race, YARA SOFIA, ALEXIS MATEO & MARIAH BALENCIAGA. Your hosts ran into the girls at Freddie's Beach Bar just before they took to the stage for a fierce holiday performance. We were in the dressing room with them and they held nothing back! This week's topics also include: Winter has officially begun Dale gets a Brown gift J

The boys are back together and partying it up in the studio in Washington, DC. (It got so crazy, Steve even pulled off his pants!) And trust us, after this episode, you'll never look at a UPS man the same way again. Today's topics include: A gay penguin update Rick Perry the hater GoProud and their outing Our next Christmas movie selection Tales from the second half of Dale & Scott's California adventure The Swish Edition appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (see the screen grab on swishedition.com) We share what new music tracks are exciting the hosts right now Lindsay Lohan is naked in Playboy Nasty Pig loves Steve Jonny McGovern's new Dickmatized video HRC's new shopping app to better spend your money with LGBT-friendly companies Abercrombie rolls our 40 shirtless dudes for their Singapore store opening Rosie hates on Letterman (or the other way around?) Sony & Oprah (or America?) hate on Nate Berkus And much gay hilarity! This week's show is once again brought to you by Atlantis Events' January 29, 201

It's was a mash-up of the Swish Edition and Global Voice Broadcasting's Black Sheep show when Dale & Scott sat in with Andrew & Chad in L.A. on December 6. You can stream the recording of the LIVE broadcast any time you'd like. It's an east-meets-west kinda party we think you'll dig.

Dale & Scott are in Los Angeles all week and, boy oh boy, have they had some adventures. But before you let your mind wander...it was all on the up-and-up, a week full of celebrity sightings, celebrity conversations, a few more celebrities, and a big fat mash-up. (The dozens of photos will be coming soon!) First up, we bring you the 60-minute Black Sheep/Swish Edition duel broadcast. Black Sheep co-hosts Andrew & Chad welcomed Dale & Scott to be guests on their LIVE show, heard on Tuesday night, December 6, on the Global Voice Broadcasting network. Together, the boys talked about the differences between east coast and west coast boys, the Trevor Live event they all attended last Sunday night (including Dale & Scott's reporting from the red carpet and their chats with actress Jennifer Coolidge, talk show host Ricki Lake, pop singer Fergie and others), and much more. It's a fun, slightly dirty conversation with the best of what both shows have to offer. East Meets West, if you will. We love our

Say it isn't so! Christmas is just 24 days away? We haven't even made out our lists for Santa yet. And while we're not exactly in the holiday spirit quite yet, we're doing our best to be merry. And that's not too hard when Dale, Scott & Steve get together in the studio for some fun. On this first episode of December, we talk about our Thanksgiving trips; shopping on Black Friday; Dale's ass (again); Steve's deep dark tan; Nasty Pig's new jeans commercial (um, will ya just look at the photo of their model to the right; we'll take that, Santa Claus); GetUp!'s tear-worthy new viral video; Pat Robertson and macaroni & cheese; we're watching George Michael's health; and, we'll tell you why you shouldn't be giving money to the Salvation Army's annoying bell ringers. Oh, and did we mention that Steve got an out-of-this-world offer you've just GOT to hear for yourself. Dale & Scott were left with their chins on the floor. Nearly literally. We've got Kevin Keller's interracial marriage; Dale & Scott pr

How did it get to be Thanksgiving time already? Time sure flies when you're making gay comedy magic! This week, the show is out a day early with a jam packed (if not slightly hot; Scott had the miss up a bit too high) new episode. First up, the boys break down Sunday night's American Music Awards; they discuss Tori Spelling's boobs on Twitter; marvel at Arnold Schwartzeneggar's hot son Patrick; Steve and Scott tell ya how their personal trainers are trying to KILL them; and, they tell you why Lady Gaga is being honored at next month's Trevor Live event. Then, Dale, Scott & Steve welcome INAYA DAY to the show. She's a world-renown, chart topping dance and house singer/songwriter who also dabbles in funk, R&B, gospel, musical theater and jazz. Besides her own classics like "Nasty Girl" and "Keep Pushin'," this lady pens tunes for countless others, she's started her own record company, and she's in two very active bands. She lives and breathes all kinds of great music, and it shows. You'll dig our extend

Dale, Scott & Steve are back after a week off (their first of 2011!) and they welcome DJ Keith Hoffman to the sit in with them in the new studio. Keith shares news about what's hot on the dance floor these days and talks about the radio shows he produces around the globe. Scott monopolizes a lot of the beginning of the show with his tales from his seven days at sea on a straight cruise in preparation for the big gay cruise in January. Also on this conversational show, the boys talk about and play a sample of Madonna's leaked new single "Give Me All Your Love;" they dissect rapper Little B's "I Got AIDS" track; tell you why they think Jesus is not too happy with the "Jersey Shore" line of Christmas ornaments; why they're upset that Toronto's gay penguins are being seperated; they think it's ironic that Fire Island is on fire (although they fully realize that they're not using 'ironic' correctly); Dale & Scott get excited for their big trip to Los Angeles and the Trevor Live event; and, duel countdowns

Recorded in the brand new Swish Edition studios (the "secret underground studio" no more...the boys are finally outside of Scott's basement, it can now be revealed), this episode features the return of out pop singer MATT ZARLEY to the program. He brings to us his hot new single, "Perfect," as well as a remix of his fun "What The Fuck" track. He tells us about his new record label, his L.A. listening party hosted by Instinct Magazine on November 8, and what's been happening in his life since we last chatted in early June. We love Matt and we think you'll dig his catchy tunes and his love for giving back. Also on this episode, Dale, Scott & Steve break down their weekend, which included the soggy and bone chilling AIDS Walk Washington event, a rather eventful Halloween party, and a trip to Red Lobster. They discuss Kim Kardashian's slap-in-the-face-to-all-gay-people 72 day marriage, doctors' recommending that kids as young as 16 start getting HIV tests, the world welcomes the 7 billionth person (that's a l

This week's episode features just the audio track from our October 25 LIVE video special where we covered Washington, DC's "25th Annual High Heel Race." We understand that much of what you might hear during this episode won't make sense without the pictures, so we encourage you to (also) check out the video itself. You can watch it right on the front page of swishedition.com. Hosted by Dale & Scott on the main stage and Steve in the street, the coverage includes chats with the race participants, special interviews with Jonathan Howard of GLAAD, executive director of the Historic Dupont Circle Main Streets Paul Williams, TOWN and Cobalt hostess Lena Lett, vice president of J.R.'s Bar & Grill David Perruzza, and many more. Plus, play-by-play of the race itself, the winner (an Amy Winehouse lookalike), a video from Miss Sherry Vine, and much more gay (and straight!) hilarity. Brought to you in part by Atlantis Events' January 29, 2012 Allure of the Seas Caribbean Cruise. Special thanks to our director Er

It's the very last episode taped in the Secret Underground Studio...and Dale missed it because he's on vacation in sunny Florida this week (more on that later). So, Scott & Steve, having to fill the gap, welcome nationally known singer/songwriter TOM GOSS and performer/actor JEFFREY JOHNSON to the basement to entertain us. The boys play two songs LIVE in the studio (a first!), arranged just for the Swish Edition as a lead up to their "Under The Covers" pair of weekend shows at DC's Black Fox Lounge. You'll dig "Lover" and "Love the One You're With." And because we're all about the music this week, we're thrilled to have another SHERRY VINE parody for ya. This is Lady Gaga's "Americano" like only Sherry could dream up. It's a little dirty, but that's why we love her. And if you are in the New York City area this coming Sunday, October 23, head to Barracuda Lounge at 11:00pm for 2-4-1 drink specials then the premiere of two brand new Sherry videos at midnight! Plus we have our regular gay-themed discussion

This National Coming Out Week, we welcome someone to the studio who is VERY out, porn actor, director & producer JASON SPARKS. Scott & Steve got all the news and dirt from one of the most prolific webcammers out there (for the free advertising), learn how he travels the country searching for his models (nothing like taking an in-person test drive), and what's hot in the porn world right now (bareback isn't cool and fetish is hotter than ever). Jason stopped in just before he moved on up the coast to New York's famed Hustlaball and we're thrilled he made some time for us. Also this week, we've got two tracks from queer / folk / Americana group, HUMBLE TRIPE and a conversation with their mastermind / songwriter, SHAWN LUBY. This Durham, North Carolina-based group has a very unique sound, weaving stories and emotions into their organic tunes. Nope, it's not your everyday gay pop or dance...which is why we love it. Ya know, introducing you to some culture, people! We think you'll dig Washington and Carniv

Tuesday, October 11 is National Coming Out Day. In honor of the occasion, we've got an extra special bonus treat for you, a "Swish Extra" minisode featuring "Mr. Manners," STEVEN PETROW. He's a nationally syndicated columnist and writer for outlets such as the Huffington Post, Yahoo! Shine and the Advocate. And his two books--The Real-World Guide to Coming Out and Steven Petrow's Complete Gay & Lesbian Manners--are international best sellers. Scott chats with Steven about the Dos & Donts of coming out, a bit about gay manners, and much more. There's something for those thinking about coming out, those who might be come out to, and all of us that are already out. Help us celebrate this special, international day! Learn more about Steven at gaymanners.com.

It's been a year since we went national with the Swish Edition! And on this special episode, we welcome actress & activist MICHELLE CLUNIE to the show. You guys know her best as Melanie from Showtime's ground breaking show Queer as Folk, and she shares with us tales about how often people call her Melanie; her new movie with Matthew McConaughey; whether she thinks they should ever revisit the world of Queer as Folk; her friend Leisha Hailey's Southwest Airlines fiasco; her participation in GLAAD's Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen: A Generation of Queer Film, panel discussion at Washington, DC's George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium at 6pm on Wednesday, October 12; and, much more.  We LOVED our chat with Michelle...one of our best, most heart-felt conversations to date. And to balance out the girl...we have to have a boy and our old friend RONNIE KROELL fits the bill! He's best known from the reality competition Make Me a Supermodel, he's been a Playgirl cover model, and he's been acting is

This week, Dale, Scott & Steve take a little pressure off Justin and do an interview on their own from the Underground Studio! They called famed celebrity & fashion photographer and reality TV star MIKE RUIZ to get all the skinny on his hot new coffee table book (due October 12). They guys also get Mike to open up about his cute father, why he thinks they added straight girl Nyasha to the A-List: New York this season, his transition from still photographer to hot video director (and back), some behind-the-scenes info about Kathy Griffin, and much more. OH! And he drops a BIG BOMB that will affect the third season of A-List! You have to listen to find out what that is. Also on this episode, the guys have a HUGE announcement: They have been invited to tape the show onboard Atlantis' Allure of the Seas cruise to the Caribbean next January! Details will be available very soon on how YOU can come, too! Other topics include...a celebrity lesbian gets kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight for kissing her GF

The boys are back and they've got stories to tell about a boys-gone-wild weekend in your Capital City (that Scott missed). Plus, they explain why redheads need not try to make a deposit at their local neighborhood sperm back; Scott's childhood friend has a dream about Steven J. Walker; NPH gets his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is now officially a thing of the past (or is it?); New Hampshire is considering 86-ing same-sex marriage (those fat heads); The Emmys entertained; breaking down LMAFO's new video; and, Gaga tweets her love. And from New York City, our trusty correspondent Justin Luke sits down for something really unique: If you guys like Broadway you'll get a kick out of his self-described "theater-faggish" chat with one of the stars of the smash hit musical, "The Addams Family," STEPHANIE GIBSON. She gives you all the backstage dirt including, what life is like as the understudy to a lead; which days and times are better than others when it comes to catching a Broadway s

When schedules get shifted at the last minute, things tend to fall through the cracks. Many times that can be a good thing; sometimes it's bad. When Steven J. Walker couldn't make it to the taping this week, Dale & Scott felt bad. But the end product is really good. So, it's a bitter sweet Episode 151. Sigh. Alone in the studio like the olden days, Dale Blades & Scott Wallis chat about their recent trip to the Kings Dominion amusement park for gay night and how they almost got pinched by the po-po at the no-tell hotel, your hosts run down their picks for this fall's television season, they ruin the finale of True Blood for those who haven't watched it yet, tell you why Dale won't wear a winter coat, they make fun of each other (but what else is new), and share their love of Anderson Cooper and his new daytime talk show Anderson. There's other surprises, too! Then, like magic, Senior Correspondent Justin Luke appears out of no where with a really fun chat with the one and only MICHAEL MUSTO of the Vill

For our 50th episode, we welcome a new-comer to the show! New York City-based blogger/nightlife promoter/author JUSTIN LUKE joins the Swish Edition as a Senior Contributor. This former podcaster certainly knows his stuff and for his first assignment he sits down in our new NYC satellite studio to chat with the Gay Pimp himself, top comedy podcaster & singer/songwriter extraordinaire JONNY McGOVERN. We're thrilled to have Jonny on the show and you'll hear all about his current projects, including his new Sexy Nerd track, his hot new videos, his big move to L.A., and much more. It all starts at the 33:00 mark. We're big fans of the Pimp and thrilled to have Justin--a New York power gay in his own right--as a member of our family. After that, we catch up with one of our favorite funny ladies, LISA LAMPANELLI. We ring her up to find out about the television reality show pilot she's currently filming for Logo, her take on the new "Dancing with the Stars" cast, why a gay guy got engaged in her bathroom, why she
