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 Carnival, two of the groups songs that follow our chat.

(BTW, in case you missed it, we had a Swish Extra minisode out this past Tuesday, October 11, in honor of National Coming Out Day. It features a chat with the delightful STEVEN PETROW all about the Dos and Don\'ts of coming out. It\'s definitely worth a listen.)

And Dale, Scott & Steve chat about Bieber\'s haircut ruining a toymaker\'s bottom-line; they repeat dirty things they read online (and in the process most definitely coined a new phrase); tell you the 18 rules of using Grindr; recommend a new Las Vegas app; threaten you with bodily harm if you don\'t watch their LIVE video episode on October 25; discuss Cher turning out for son Chaz at DWTS last Monday; explain why oral sex might be as bad for you as smoking; get excited about Roseanne\'s new sitcom; question Lance Bass\' new boy band creation; plus, they give ya more information about their AIDS Walk Washington team and the Atlantis Event\'s Caribbean cruise they\'re going on (yup, they\'re gonna talk about that a lot).

Episode 155 is called, "Queer Folk," and it\'s ready for you whether you\'re out or not.
