It’s October, the start of Breast Cancer Awareness and LGBT History Month and They Said kicked it off at the Brass Rail studio with a lively conversation about the big news and hot topics happening now. First, they dove into Barbara Walter‘s use of the “N” word on The View and their personal feelings on its use in conversation. Then, Ian gave us the insider deets on the recent sale of Martinis Above Fourth, what’s in store for the restaurant and his fond memories of working there with Dale, Chaz, Johnny and the rest of the crew. Other big topics discussed included the random highway shootings in the San Diego that left one injured and traffic jammed for hours, Bevan Dufty‘s San Francisco mayoral campaign commercial, the bullying & suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer and this week’s eagerly anticipated iPhone 4S announcement. Ian finished off with some big events including the Harvest Howl, Nightmare on Normal Street, Mama’s Kitchen’s Pie in the Sky and the Center’s upcoming Gala.  Read More

The Brass Rail studio was hopping this week, following the big AIDS Walk weekend. Jerimiah & Ian joined the crew back at the They Said roundtable to dive right in to the week’s big news & hot topics. Ian led off with a walk day recap filled with some very poignant moments on stage and along the walk route. After Courtney put a call out for more bike racks in Balboa Park, they covered lots of ground, starting with all the changes happening with Facebook, Bristol Palin’s WeHo cat fight caught on camera, Millionaire Matchmakers numerous flubs on “Watch What Happens Live,” men with hair pieces, the grocery store self check-out controversy and President Obama‘s visit to San Diego. Producers Joey & Kurt asked the crew “if your life was a song, what song title would it be” and some of their answers were serious, while others were hysterical.  Read More

With Ian out working hard for AIDS Walk and Jerimiah sick at home on the sofa, Aaron sat in with Courtney, Kelly & Alejandra for this week’s roundtable chat of news & hot topics. Big on the list was the end of the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy (TODAY), which culminates in celebrations at the LGBT Center and several local bars around the gayborhood. After thanking our gay & lesbian military and veterans for their service, Courtney moved the dish fest onto other big headlines including the Denmark sperm bank that discriminates against red heads, changes at Netflix, proposed changes for the U.S. Postal Service, whooping cough vaccination, all the iPhone rumors and, of course, this weekend’s big event: AIDS Walk San Diego. Please help support HIV & AIDS services in San Diego by walking or donating to a team. Or, if you have some time, volunteer for the event…they could use some extra help. Read More

With all the They Said crew back at our Brass Rail studio roundtable, Courtney, Ian, Jerimiah, Kelly & Alejandra got back to business dishing the week’s news, events & hot topics that made headlines in one way or another. Ian recapped his Summer Splash Fundraiser for AIDS Walk San Diego at Martinis Above Fourth and shared his night at the Salk Institute rubbing elbows with Idina Menzel. Then, the talk turned to football. Well, actually wine – in the form of Charger Legacy 2008 Cabernet – along with Michele Bachmann‘s continued “crazy,” Chaz Bono & Nancy Grace on Dancing With The Stars, Hurricane Irene, the VMAs and a rather frank discussion about the Nicky Awards. Yes, we were completely shut out. Oh well, there’s always next year! Read More
