SE218: Akwaaba

Swish Edition

When Scott & Steve dial up Dale in Ghana, hilarity ensues. Well, not so much hilarity, as frustration, because when one of your hosts is 5,297 miles away from the studio, in a developing country, it's kinda hard to hold on to him. So, while African Dale pops in and out of the episode, the remaining boys talk about their respective weekends in Philadelphia and New York City; the upcoming GLAAD Media Awards, including an appearance by Madonna!; the Boy Scout Jamboree and which musicians are being asked to boycott (and, as of press time, they agreed); the German short film, Zwillinge, about twin lust (you just HAVE to watch it...see it below); Cher's delayed album (Steve is not happy); how NBC is going quickly down the drain; and, much more silly pop culture news.

Then, we welcome to the show, Chris Lilly, the executive producer and writer of the new web dramedy, Just Us Guys, the continuing story of a gay father and his straight son. In the vein of television's late/great Gilmore Girls, this series is super cute and we can't wait for the next three episodes. We have our fingers crossed, too, that it'll find it's way to a more traditional network series.

This week's Swish episode is a short and sweet one, y'all, but you'll dig it.
