Ben and Dave's Six Pack is a podcast creation from veteran radio shock jock Ben Harvey and hilarious comic Dave Rubin. The show features celebrity and band interviews, discussion of hot button gay issues, and hand-picked new music. In 2008, Entertainment Weekly likened the ly gay on-air duo to a "mas macho" version of Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell. Compliment or insult? Decide for yourself.

Queer as Folk's Hal Sparks Skypes in this week, and he is using an actual fancy Skype phone! How's life after QAF going? Will people ever accept him as a straight man? And what's the deal with his ongoing feud wth Harvey Levin and the TMZ folks? Top to Bottom (powered by Queerty.com) introduces you to the Droid's Grindr wannabee, Encountr. Finally the Google people can hook up GPS-style, too! Also, we've got another closeted Republican sex scandal (can't we get through a week without one?), and we ask why Miscrosoft is censoring gay material in the Middle East. We also pack in another "Craigslist Missed Connections Set to Love Songs" and offer you an authentic Greek Tragedy, complete with scandals, flutes and souvlaki.

Our idol Joy Behar joins the Six Pack this week, proving that dreams do come true. Is she the hardest working woman in show biz? What does she think of Snooki and J-Woww? What exactly is psycho drama and why won't Barbara Walters take part in it? Joy has no qualms about giving us her brutally honest answers. We've got our own hot topics to cover in Top to Bottom, now powered by Queerty.com: Apple is going "explicit," CPAC is going gay, and you're never going to want to eat another hot dog. (Of the food variety, at least.) In Music for Homosexuals, we're riding the hot vampire wave with a mashup featuring MIA and Vampire Weekend. Since we pride ourselves on hunting down the latest trends, our newest Missed Connections Set to Love Songs is all by people who have lost love on ChatRoulette.com. Have you checked it out yet? NEXT! Straight List/Gay Twist will once again show you that gay people are just doing it better (whatever it is), and Group Action brings us more international love, including a Skype message all the way from Sri Lanka. Download now and take a little time to enjoy The View...err, Six Pack! This podcast is brought to you by Audible.com. Download a free audiobook of your choice today at www.audiblepodcast.com/sixpack.

Jane Velez-Mitchell from HLN is our Skype guest this week. She's the host of "Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell" on HLN and very upfront about having her own, um, issues. She sits down on our virtual therapy couch to discuss her various addictions and her "mid-life lesbian" coming out experience. Oh, and we don't let her go without asking about her infamous mullet haircut. This episode we're also discussing Ben's obsession with feisty Olympics commentator Mary Carillo, New York's rumored $2 million gay megaplex, and gay prison pen pals. It's a cornucopia of audio stimulation designed just for you. Dig in!

Speaking of love, it seems a lot of straight chicks have opinions on whether gays can be monogamous these days...but what do the gays have to say?

Broadway star Nick Adams joins us as the first guest of 2010 and tells us about the upcoming revival of "La Cage aux Folles," his alleged feud with Mario Lopez, and how he maintains his sick six pack. We'll be talking about trannies in the White House, HD booty Skypes, and pop stars coming out as bisexual. Speaking of bi, we're examining the gay community's obsession with "bi masc jocks" and "bossy bottoms." You don't want to miss our analysis, especially since it involves the new bi guy on MTV's "The Real World," Mike Manning. Ben's GUMBO (Gay. DUMBO. Party.) party is this Thursday the 14th @ Galapagos Art space in Brooklyn, and we'll be interviewing Ari and Dave from GetGayTravel.com, a new NYC based travel company providing luxury chauffeur service to and from the show!

After a long, hard 2009 talking to porn stars, reality fame whores, and gaylebrities, we decided to take time to recuperate over the holidays. (Yes, we're in rehab.) We'll be back in action with a full episode next week, but please enjoy this special New Year's edition of the Six Pack. We compiled the best "Craigslist Missed Connections Set to Love Music" from the past year and smooshed them all together into one show. But don't fret, we've still got a fresh story for you about our night out with Mason Wyler... and don't miss our special international installment of "Missed Connections" dedicated to our listeners from around the world. Happy 2010!

The multi-talented Mason Wyler Skypes into the show with plenty of "ho ho ho" spirit. You may have seen Mason displaying his jingle balls on our new partner site, Guys with iPhones, but we're betting he's nowhere to be found on Guys I Blocked on Grindr (our other new partner!). We interrogate Mason about everything from "Spokes 3" to sex addiction to being a self-professed attention whore. Mason also reveals a disturbing experience involving tickle torture, and he stirs up new controversy with some fine words for Zane from Chaos Men (also known as ZTT). Is ZTT really a tweaked out version of "Maria Full of Grace," or is Mason just blowing smoke? Either way, he cracks us up. Top to Bottom brings us news about Bruce Springsteen, Houston's lesbian mayor, incestuous gay twins Miloh and Elijah Peters, and the top trending Twitter topics of the year. We've got a new "Craigslist Missed Connections Set to Love Music," and this one is gonna do George Michael proud. If that's not enough, Kristine W joins us to talk about her Christmas dance single and new double DVD set. Mix together one gentile, one Jew, and a whole bundle of holiday cheer, and you've got the final Six Pack of 2009! Enjoy.
