Guantanamo Baes

Morning, Sunshine. The Baes are honored to give you this bonus episode with the help of our friends at the "You But Better" Podcast. This episode, recorded from last year, features Brian as fictional athlete, Freddy "The Flow" Marrero (fiction being the only place Brian could ever realistically be an athlete). Give them a follow, why don't you? Do it for us, at least?! . Yo...

Oh just hit play. The Baes are back and better than ever in 2024, what more could you possibly want?!

Brian and Julian examine the life of recently indicted diplomat-turned-informant (or informant-turned-diplomat?) Manuel Rocha. Also, our year-end review and Julian's top movies of 2023!

I'm selling out our decription this week to get y'all to come to our UCB show this Tuesday, 12/5 at 7 PM. Also, was Julian overly defensive during this week's World According to Jules? Or is it just me? Massive shout-out to Caroline Cotter by the way. We love y'all

Have we missed anything? Brian was in Egypt, Julian was in Texas, and we just wanted to make sure y'all are ok.

Are we the real pigs for declaring war on pigs? Is it gay to be homophobic? Also, Brian and Julian discuss a story in the NFL that isn't Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Also, we hope to see you at our UCB show on 11/27 :)

Aye yai yai...it's the Israel/Palestine episode.

Is the US having a fun little coup moment cozying up to Cuba's burgeoning private sector? Is conceptual art officially over? And is it just us or is ever brunette these days calling themseles a "woman of color?"

The Baes are in the studio with one of our Bucharest Besties: actor, comedian, and writer Smaranda Luna, who explains why theater should be accessible to even the worst among us and why Drew Berrymore isn't as cute as she thinks she is.

How far is too far for a gender reveal party? Did the Great British Bake-Off bend their knee to the woke mob? Also, Julian repents for his false land recognition last week.

Can Cuba's crackdown on public dissent give us a fun little Da Vinci Code moment? Is there anti-penetrative messaging in the Peter Rabbit films? Was the Desperate Housewives Vanity Fair cover one of the most iconic images of the Bush era?

Are Austin an Palm Springs sister cities? Would you ever smuggle diet coke if it wasn't allowed overseas? Also, Brian and Julian playfully lose the thread again.

Has mainstream culture become too gay? Or has gay culture become too mainstream? Also, Julian is forced to talk about sports.

What does an emerging private sector mean for the people of Cuba? Are Sea Otters to surfers what Orcas are to billionaires? And Brian learns that some gay literature is not for the faint of heart.

Should Cubans be allowed to play Jews on Broadway? Who do you call when you want to divorce your ghost husband? Who wins in a beauty contest between Antony Blinken and Hunter Biden?

The Baes sit down with activist, Jordan David, to discuss his recent visit to Cuba as a queer delegate, why the mainstream adoption of Pride has all but erased its original mission, and why he does not find comparisons to Obama flattering (spoiler: war crimes).

Why is Cuba getting cozy with Russia again? We've been over this before! Also, we love big girls. Happy Pride.

Resident Bad Boy, JT Kelley (@godsfavoritecomedian), chats with us about his time in the Austin Communist chapter and why today his primary political philosophy is more vacation days.

Who understands the universe better between Stephen Hawking and Lana Del Rey? Is Elon Musk inadvertently bridging the gap between the US and Cuba? Oh yeah, and Julian wants to be a mermaid.

Should Charlize Theron be elected Queen of South Africa? Will SoulCycle re-emerge after the collapse of Peloton? Also, did you know Che Guevara was a homophobic murderer?

Has Tchaikovsky made you orgasm in public lately? Were you once a cat in turn of the century Paris in a past life? Should Julian just say 'the hell with it' and become a juicy character actress?

Has a charming bartender tried to sell you on Amway lately? Does Ben Afleck put on a telanovela voice when he speaks Spanish? And does anyone else feel kinda bad for the Christians living in LA?

Will Taylor Swift return to country music after her second presidential term? How many people did Pope Francis do the horizontal mambo with before he pledged his life to the cloth? And will this generation of aging ravers make good ear doctors? ¡Also, congratulations Dr. Jose Pablo Llongueras!
