Category: Season 5

If you can get past the technical issues with this one (SORRY!!!!), you will hear us talking about the start of Ted’s hubby hunt, Jennifer’s new boo, and Drew’s big announcement.  Proposition 14 looms large over the Avenue and it’s supporters have started to show up in the gayborhood.  Justin is a hit at the art show and his work is “exquisite”! A tuna macaroni counseling session sends Brian on a mission to make amends with Michael.  Lindsay and Melanie have a discussion about their in-house separation.  It’s very heated!

Brian and Brandon battle it out for the top spot at Babylon.  Ben and Michael have very different approaches to dealing with Hunter’s departure.  Melanie and Lindsay try an in-house separation.  Ken could never!!  Justin deals with a ghost from our past, and Emmett has his own version of a stalker.

We share a coming out story that gets a little intense.  Please skip 48:00 to 49:45 if you need to.  Other than that, E’Shel rants, Ken screams and faints, and we roll merrily along!

We are switching things up at the Diner this week.  Ken and E’Shel take a break to answer a few of your head canon questions.  There are plenty more where these came from!  Also, E’Shel thinks that Brian’s other guilty pleasure is watching Sunshine sleep.  But not in a creepy way!

We are only mid-way through Season 5 so answers are limited to that time frame.  Keep sending your questions!

The custody circus continues with Melanie, Michael, and Lindsay.  A newly minted Theodore (eventually) comes out of the sewers and back to the social scene.  Brian has a situation that causes Justin to do an evaluation.  We tried not to talk about it!  Now that everyone at school knows Hunter’s PRIVATE business, he’s left to deal with the fallout.  It was a drama filled one, but don’t worry!  There are lots of laughs here! This is one of our more self-indulgent podcast episodes, but we hope you enjoy it!

So, emotionally, this episode felt like five episodes.  We were up, down, and ready to throw down! The diner isn’t missing Debbie the way she hoped, but she still proves to be quite useful.  Ted goes off to find happiness on an operating table.    Hunter has to deal with the awfulness of high school and very immature parents.  We’re just gonna pass on the Novotny-Bruckners.  Heavy. Sigh. Brian extends an olive branch, but also digs in his heels.   There’s a lot of drama and real life happening in here.  It’s tricky, but it’s so worth it!

Get your popcorn bowl and your Liberty Diner Dish mug ready because this episode is serving!  Debbie considers a different path, and a woman in need shows up at the diner.  Emmett starts, loses, then secures his new gig as a very important queer person.  Our favorite dynamic duo teams up to bring the boys back to Babylon.  Michael, Lindsay, and Melanie engage in a game of limbo and we see just how low one of them can go.  We’ll say here that it’s messy and a little sad, but it sure was entertaining (and educational) television.  If your name is Ken or you have not seen past Episode 3 of Season 5, you should skip from 23:20 to 34.29!  We will know if you cheated, Ken!!

We should probably start by saying there were bubbles and there was attitude.  You can blame the champagne for the tangents, and a certain someone for the go-offs.   Emmett dazzles his clients and gets a chance to step in front of the camera again.  Fully clothed this time! Tired of the same old, same old, Ted starts working on a new look.  Brian rebuilds Babylon, but the boys do not come.  Michael challenges the custody arrangement he has with Melanie and Lindsay.  Ken and E’Shel threaten violence, but no Novotny-Bruckners were harmed during this episode.  Also, Justin is home!!!!!
