- 4:36So today, since we're in the at the time of this release,
- 4:43we're gonna be at the end of Pride Month, and you might be wondering,
- 4:46why didn't you all talk about gay shit? And I'm like, well,
- 4:49the Wheel of Time's kind of gay a little bit. Yeah, it
- 4:54turns out there's plenty of lesbian shit going on in there. And then the
- 4:58fourth Wing and Iron Fly is has a sprinkle of gay in it with some
- 5:02of the side characters. But I didn't want to disrupt the disrupt the posting
- 5:09process to put in a bunch of gay stuff because I do have a bunch
- 5:12of gay books on the list to talk about. But I decided just to
- 5:16wait till the very end of the What what are you doing, Johnny,
- 5:28Yes it's on my list, my god, Yes, I'm gonna talk about
- 5:32a song of Achilles. Someday and I get around actually reading that book.
- 5:38But today we're gonna talk about a gay ass book. This is gonna be
- 5:42a shorter book. This is only one hundred and twenty six pages. It's
- 5:45very short. It's a novella, and it This episode is probably gonna be
- 5:49a lot shorter compared to the other ones, because normally our episodes run about
- 5:54two to three hours roughly, depending on the book. This one, I
- 5:58predict, is probably not going to be longer than probably an hour, maybe
- 6:01forty five minutes, depending on how I go. But this book that I'm
- 6:08gonna be talking about, it's novella, is called straight by Chuck Tingle.
- 6:14He may be asking, who is Chuck Tingle? Uh? Chuck Tingle is
- 6:17a name of a writer, an author. This is not his real name.
- 6:24This is a pseudonym. Yeah, this is a pseudonym that he goes
- 6:29under because when he makes when he makes appearances in public, he wears a
- 6:34pink bag over his head with sunglasses, and the pink bag says love is
- 6:40real. That's how he walks around if he's in public. So, doctor
- 6:47Chuck Tingle, he normally writes niche gay erotica. And then you have books
- 6:56like let me read some of these stories, some of these stuff he's done,
- 7:04So you have collaboration stories. There's like scary stories to Tingle your butt
- 7:10seven seven Tales of Gay Terror, the Space Raptor Butt Trilogy, not pounding
- 7:15by anything, God, scary stories, to Tingle your Lesbian butt, seven
- 7:23Tales of Lady buck On, Lady Butuck Terror, What the fuck? Pounded
- 7:28by classics. I don't girl this wait, I'm so stuck on the lesbian
- 7:33the tingling lesbian butts. Hello, oh oh no, it gets better.
- 7:39Butt seption it butt within a butt, within a butt. I'm not joking.
- 7:45Okay, how can we get it? He's very okay, he's very
- 7:47into butts. This is the sat tire whether he wrote Donald Trump pounded in
- 7:54the butt by a handsome Russian te rex who also peed on his butt and
- 7:58then blackmailed him with the videos of his butt being peede on this Chuck,
- 8:03sweetie, what what are you doing? Oh my God? Like, uh
- 8:13yeah, I gotta be honest with you. It's like TJ. Klune.
- 8:18It's like the the exact opposite of TJ. Clute, because TJ. Clute
- 8:22writes a lot of like really wholesome gay content, and they can be pretty
- 8:26spicy. But this dude right here is just degenerous, exactly, sure,
- 8:33just degenerously. But you were telling me some of the ones you want to
- 8:35read from that guy, and I'm just like, and you give me ship
- 8:39for reading werewolf h reading the werewolf novels. I have to get. It's
- 8:43so ridiculous. Like there's one called pokey butt, go pounded by them all,
- 8:50not the pokey butt, pokey butt bisexual mothman mailman makes a special delivery
- 8:56in our butts. I don't know. That just sounds like that sounds like
- 9:03a like a really shitty porno right there. That doesn't sound like but I
- 9:07think there is a like a porn movie, like a porn movie. I'm
- 9:13sure, I'm sure. And you can't forget about this classic how did in
- 9:16the butt by a handsome library card who seems all the worldly butt In reality,
- 9:22it is just a natural part of the priceless resources our library system provides.
- 9:33I don't I have no idea. I don't understand we're reviewing one of
- 9:37his books today, or I mean taken by a gay unicorn biker that just
- 9:50sounds like Gary. That just sounds like Gary from Huh the tail Swiperana just
- 9:56just did a crossover Bigfoot butt tasting. I don't know what the fuck my
- 10:05billionaire? No, I'm gay for my living billionaire jet plane glazed by the
- 10:13gay living donuts. What the fuck? Oh no, I don't know what
- 10:20in the is this? Oh I have no butt, but I must pound
- 10:26girl. These names, these names, girl work, you better work,
- 10:31you better work your bussy out, mister Chuck, mister doctor Chuck Tingle.
- 10:37So the book we're talking about today is not as campy and ridiculous as these
- 10:41names are. This is his second novel he's ever written novella. His first
- 10:46one he written was Helicopter Man Pounds Dinosaur Billionaire Ass. This is his first
- 10:52novel, and I kind of want to read that one because it's fucking stupid
- 10:54and you look it up, you look that title up the cover, iss,
- 11:01it's so stupid. But the book we're talking about today, or I'm
- 11:05talking about today, is called Straight Now. Straight is a horror novella,
- 11:13and it's about this world that has this event that happens every year, usually
- 11:20around early April, where all cis straight people are all of a sudden enraged
- 11:28and the comment violence against people who are not straight because the non straight people,
- 11:33the people of the LGBT alp At mafia, are unaffected by this.
- 11:37For whatever reason, this is all caused by the Earth is in some alignment
- 11:43to this blank avoid space called the blank space. For some reason, when
- 11:50the Earth gets in line with this blank space quote unquote, it causes the
- 11:56CIS straight people to become the zombie, like a zombie like people that are
- 12:03just enraged, and these will commit violence against people who are not straight.
- 12:07And obviously this book tackles the topics of how the straits versus the gays.
- 12:15It also tackles how bisexual bisexual people are looked at in the community as well
- 12:24as and of course other topics dealing with the lgbiddy. Now, the story
- 12:31starts off with Isaac, who's a bisexual man who normally dates women, and
- 12:37he is leaving this apartment because him and a bunch of his friends are going
- 12:41to go off to from LA to go to a place called Joshua's Tree or
- 12:46Joshua Tree, which is off outside of La towards the desert, basically Millan
- 12:52nowhere, and their goal is just to hide out and how in a cabin
- 12:56they rent rented to just kind of hide away from everything and just hang out
- 13:03with hang out with each other and chill. And they called this day.
- 13:07Originally the name for the day was called Desaturation Day. After the first year
- 13:13it happened, the populate so the earth lost nine percent of its population in
- 13:20total from the first Saturation Day. That equates to about sixty percent of the
- 13:26gay community of the queer community gone dead. On year one, the lgbt
- 13:31QI community lost sixty percent of their community worldwide people six percent of it gone.
- 13:39That's a lot. That's a lot of people. There are stories that
- 13:45are mentioned here from the first event, like the main character Isaac, I
- 13:50think it was his boyfriend or roommate. I think it was boyfriend. No
- 13:56roommates, their roommates these days mostly women. I think it was him as
- 14:01roommate and someone busted into their house and killed his And they're pretty sure was
- 14:07his roommate, killed his roommate in front of him, and he killed the
- 14:11he killed the person that broke into his apartment and killed his friend. And
- 14:16because he keeps mentioning this puddle of blood in this on his apartment floor from
- 14:20the first year, and he's kind of just scarred from it. So now
- 14:24all like all the gays are all obviously scarred and terrified of the saturate of
- 14:28Saturation Day or Desaturation Day as they called it. But the gays repurposed day
- 14:33and called the saturation Day because they obviously the queer community as member as us
- 14:41being members of it as well, are very resilient and we're not gonna obviously
- 14:46kill us all. So they're very resilient and they'll take pride in that,
- 14:52so they kind of repurposed the day as their remembrance day as well as trying
- 14:56to obviously survive. So there are places row Sorry, does this affect all
- 15:03straight people, like all of them? Because it sounds like this one guy
- 15:05didn't. Yeah at all. Well, this guy is, by the main
- 15:09characters bisexual, okay, straight. Most straight people are affected by yes,
- 15:15but some will enact violent acts while others won't, So it's kind of a
- 15:20hit or miss if they'll actually enact a violent act on people or not,
- 15:24but either way, they straight people will act weird apparently, Like there was
- 15:31one story I think it was for either the first or second one where there
- 15:35was a group of friends. One of the friends and in the main characters
- 15:39group talked about where he was walking into a ice cream parlor after drinking one
- 15:43night with his I think it was boyfriend at the time, and he walks
- 15:46into the ice cream parlor and he sees the ice cream workers covered in blood,
- 15:52with blood and guts everywhere as he's basically carving out some keep people like
- 16:02shit, like some of the stuff they described. And there are the events
- 16:03these people go rage filled insane seventy twenty eight days later, like rage zombie,
- 16:11and they'll attack anyone who's not like them, and it's it gets pretty
- 16:18intense. One of the things that this story kind of tackles is the way
- 16:26bisexual people are looked at in the gay community. Sometimes. For example,
- 16:33when this day started happening, people started being the gay people in the lgbty
- 16:40started being very questioning about the bisexuals of their community, thinking, Oh,
- 16:47if you're in a straight relationship as a bisexual, are you going to snap
- 16:55and start killing all of us other gays and lesbians and tramp or are we
- 17:02in danger being around a by person. So it kind of tackles by byphobia
- 17:06and as a bisexual myself, unlike Isaac who dates mostly women. I they
- 17:11mostly met, but I kind of resonate with Isaac, and I'm like,
- 17:15oh, because he also talks about how he's been told as oh, you're
- 17:19just you're just by now gay later, or you know, you're just straight
- 17:25but because you never date a man, you're just straight. There's a lot
- 17:27of that, and I'm just like, hmmm, I feel that. Uh
- 17:33So the other people in his little friend group. You got Jason, who's
- 17:37a gay man. You got Nora, which is the science person. She's
- 17:44the genius of the group, and she's a lesbian. And then you have
- 17:47Hazel, who is with uh Nora and she is a trans woman. And
- 17:52this book also tackles the fact of when saturation day the trans people that are
- 18:03trans men trans women who are in like straight relationships, like a transman with
- 18:07a with a straight woman even though they're in a straight relationship or technically they're
- 18:11straight because a trans man with a woman, they were still unaffected by the
- 18:22the blank space even though they're technically heterosexual. Trans people are still unaffected.
- 18:29So really solidify the trans experience on that and people you can't really at that
- 18:34point you really can't ignore the fact that trans people exist now because they're still
- 18:38they're in our community. So they were unaffected by the blank space as well,
- 18:44which I found interesting. So you have to be CIS and you had
- 18:48to be heterosexual for it to affect you. Uh. So with all that
- 18:55groundwork, three years into this, they have devised uh vaccines or heterosexis heterosexual
- 19:03people. And the fact the second year when they when this happened, they
- 19:11released the vaccines. People got vaccinated, instance, were less were lessened.
- 19:17They still happened, but they didn't happen as extreme, so they realized.
- 19:22So they see that the vaccines that they made helped. And this is,
- 19:26of course the third year. So Isaac is getting ready to leave, obviously
- 19:30for Joshua for Joshua Joshua Tree, California, And when he gets into the
- 19:36elevator from his apartment, he meets up with an old He sees an old
- 19:38woman that lives near him. His name or I can't remember the old lads
- 19:42name, but it doesn't really matter. So the old ladies sitting there and
- 19:45she's going basically with her son to her son's gay so she was gonna be
- 19:53living with him for the night staying with him, and they were gonna put
- 19:56her in a basement, basically kind of isolated her, and so she doesn't
- 20:03do any harm to herself or others. And she has this little container of
- 20:07cookies and she's like, oh my god, I said you want a cookie,
- 20:11and he's like, hell yeah. So he goes in there and grabs
- 20:12a cookie and he gets stabbed by something and he's like, what the fuck
- 20:15And he looks in the container and the cookies have glass needles. Her goldfish
- 20:22was cooked into them, Like she's starting to slowly lose it because straight people,
- 20:27straight cys people can start acting weird about twelve hours before the playing space
- 20:33is in alignment with the earth, and she didn't she didn't realize she was
- 20:38doing this obviously, so she didn't really mean any harm by it. But
- 20:42she puts seven the cookies as she was cooking it. And when with John
- 20:48when she went down the elevator, when they all went down the elevator,
- 20:52he saw her son he's like, yeah, don't eat the cookies. And
- 20:55she's like, it's like why, And I'm like, she put glass and
- 20:59a goldfish and guys like, oh my god. She put Betty her goldfish
- 21:03into cookies. I'm like not, Betty thought that was pretty funny. She
- 21:10burke goldfish in there. So he asked him, Hey, are you going?
- 21:15You and your friends going to West Hollywood or Palm Springs Because after the
- 21:22first year, there's a kind of a new branch of the military that kind
- 21:27of formed a militia, a gay militia, and there's certain parts of the
- 21:33country that became like safe havens for the gays during this holiday. Like Palm
- 21:37Springs has military stationed at every entrance of the town Palm Springs, so you
- 21:45can't get in or out unless you're as citizen or if you paid like for
- 21:48like forty four grand to get in stay there for Saturation Day, and it's
- 21:55like a big old party spot where a bunch of gays go and party,
- 21:59but the military blockades everybody from going in or out. West Hollywood's kind of
- 22:06the same way. So when they're driving around La leaving, they see a
- 22:08bunch of military people, gay military members walking around with weapons and stuff,
- 22:14and they're getting ready for Saguration Day. Now, we don't know how the
- 22:18rest of the world, the rest of the country or the world really reacts
- 22:23to Saturation day, because we only have the perspective of la and Palm Springs,
- 22:30but you kind of assume that the rest of the world, some of
- 22:33the major cities have some of the same strategy plans on protecting assistants once we
- 22:40are gay and otherwise. So from there they go about their journey to Joshua
- 22:48Tree josh Jason, sorry, Jason, the the friend of the gay man.
- 22:55He kind of looks at and he's like you good, kind of hinting
- 23:02at are you gonna are you good? Or are you gonna snap? And
- 23:06everyone kind of calls him out on him. That's by phobic. What are
- 23:07you doing? He's not gonna go rage field because he's bisexual. That's fucked
- 23:14up. And then they kind of from there they kind of just explain what
- 23:21the blank spot a blank space is and how Nora helped them try to pinpoint
- 23:26when the blank space will cross Earth's path, and it the year shortens like
- 23:32every year. It's like once for example, I think on the first year
- 23:36was like, say it was like April sixth, the second year it was
- 23:38April fifth, this year or this year in the book, say it was
- 23:42April fourth, So it shortens by a day each year, and they say
- 23:47about one hundred and some years there'll be out a range of the blank space,
- 23:51so people then won't have to worry about it. But it's like cool,
- 23:52it's great for them, not for y'all now. And the blank space
- 23:59is just like a void out in the middle of the cosmos somewhere that just
- 24:03whatever reason does it. They never really go into it, and I kind
- 24:06of wish they did, because I'm like, that's interesting. I want to
- 24:10know more. As a science free as a space freak, I want to
- 24:14know more. So they go to josh Wa Tree. They go to a
- 24:19bar called oh God, I can't remember what the bar's name was, called
- 24:25Bobcats think it was the name. They go to a bar, they have
- 24:29a drink, and they get some food, and then they go over to
- 24:33their cabin that they rented. When they get to the bar, though,
- 24:38they noticed that obviously there are straight people there. Obviously you're in a small
- 24:44rural California town, majority of the people there are straight. They have the
- 24:48owner of the bar who is already acting very weird because he does this weird
- 24:56thing with a cowboy hat, and they saw him in his office acting very
- 25:00strange and they're like, okay, so let's get the food to go and
- 25:03get the fuck out of here. Now. The time that saturation day happens
- 25:08is from eight pm to about three pm the next day, so there are
- 25:14goal is that get to the get to the cabin, buckle down, and
- 25:18then not come don't come out into about three the next day. So they
- 25:22get to the cabin after they had a run in with a local artist in
- 25:30the vicinity because they're they live there stating at a little area's budget of little
- 25:36cabins scattered about, and they see one of them is home to a artist
- 25:41and they're like, oh, yeah, he's queer, he's an artist,
- 25:44he's gay as fuck. And they go about their business. There's a hot
- 25:48they find out, oh, there's a hot tub here, so they sat
- 25:49out in the hot tub. Night night happens and then they uh two of
- 25:57them that Nora and Hazel are out in the hot tubs. You're one,
- 26:03it's one of that. There's two people out in the hot tub and their
- 26:07mind in their own business, trying to They came the lights down off there,
- 26:10came to the quiet because they don't want to attract anybody, obviously,
- 26:14and people sneak up on them, and you come to find out that some
- 26:18of the people that they met at the bar, and they scared the shit
- 26:22out of them. They have like weapons and stuffen they start chasing them around
- 26:26the building and they're thinking, oh, these are straight people that are going
- 26:30to fucking kill us. Turns out as a prank, which is very weird
- 26:36because after it's like ten or eleven PM and these two are not rage raging,
- 26:41and they weren't vaccinated either, so it golso goes into question. When
- 26:45saturation Day happened, a lot of people were outed as well, because the
- 26:49straight people that weren't becoming these rage like zombies, it's because they're closeted,
- 26:57so they kind of outed them. But then there are also right wing people,
- 27:00right ring religious people saying, oh, we were saved by the grace
- 27:04of God. We're not affected by it because we're holy. There's a lot
- 27:08of that, and I'm just like, girl, you're gay, you're gay.
- 27:15That's a gay man. So these guys weren't weren't vaccinated and they weren't
- 27:23becoming raised zombies, so everyone's kind of sighed eye in them, and as
- 27:27they are laughing at their prank one of them. I think he gets his
- 27:33head cut off. It's a violent death. He gets like stabbed in the
- 27:38throat or some shit, blood gushing everywhere, head chopped off, and I'm
- 27:42like, holy shit, it's the artist. It's the artists they saw earlier.
- 27:47And I'm just like, oh my god. So there's a whole the
- 27:52one time the artist isn't gay, right, That's what I said. I'm
- 27:55like, the one time the artist is in gay. And it turns out
- 27:57his family's echoes as well, were all his wife, his son, the
- 28:03kids, whole family psycho. They're running the fuck away the house. The
- 28:10Cabbin's basically not safe anymore. So they're running about trying to get away from
- 28:15these rage filled zombies that are starting to follow them. They end up getting
- 28:21into the artist's house and you find out what he was working on. Sculpture.
- 28:27Sculpture made out human flesh. Oh my, oh oh that's nice.
- 28:36It's like a torso with like a bunch of like blood and guts everywhere.
- 28:40And I'm like, oh, that's not cute. That the van go you
- 28:44are not that's not cute. That's not hot. That's not hot. That's
- 28:48that's scary. By this point, they Jason has already sacrificed himself because they
- 28:56weren't able to fully get away from the artists and his family, and Jason
- 29:00decided to stay back and give his friends a chance to survive and live.
- 29:07So he falls off the cliffs, leading the zombies to follow him and fall
- 29:12off as well, and they think that he's dead, which I was like,
- 29:21oh, God, like this, Like this story doesn't have a lot
- 29:22of character development, but the characters that they do have you do fall in
- 29:27love with, Like I love Norah, Fason, Hazel, and of course
- 29:33the main character, Isaac. I love them because you you relate to them,
- 29:37especially if you're queer, you know, people that are like them.
- 29:44It's like, oh, it's their friend group. Yeah. But from there
- 29:51through a bunch of Shenanigans of more more straight people come out of the woodwork
- 29:56out the middle of the wilderness. Here's like, what the fuck, we're
- 30:00not safe here. We're in the middle of the fucking desert and there are
- 30:03still people wondering about trying to kill us. So the guy that survived when
- 30:08they pulled the prank, initially, he's like, why we're why aren't we
- 30:14affected? We're straight, we needn't get vaccine, and we're we're fine,
- 30:18and the girl and Nora's like, girl, I don't think your friend told
- 30:25you everything. I think your friend was gay. And he's like, we're
- 30:30not gay, and she's like mmmm mmm mm hmmm. Side I M sure,
- 30:41Jane, sure, Okay, he dies too. Unfortunately, the friend
- 30:47he dies too. Basically, I mean after his after the other guy's death,
- 30:55they're kind of just literally running around trying to survive, hiding, keeping
- 30:59hid out in the middle of the desert, and they're like, we need
- 31:00to get the fuck away. So they finally do get in a car and
- 31:04they do drive away, and they do find Jason. He ends up being
- 31:08he ends up alive. I can't remember if they found the car or Jason
- 31:14drove up in a car, one of the two things happened. But they
- 31:18do find Jason and he ends up being alive miraculously, and they're like,
- 31:22how the fuck did she survive? I think he broke his leg or some
- 31:25shit will falling off the cliff, but he lived nonetheless, And it basically
- 31:30just ends with them surviving and covered in blood and guts and shit, and
- 31:36they just start and they start driving over to They drive into the night to
- 31:41Palm Springs. So they're like, we need to get the fuck out of
- 31:44here, and Palm Springs is the savest place close to here. But maybe
- 31:48they'll let us in because we're gay, and maybe they'll have sympathy that we
- 31:59literally almost died. So they drive over the Palm Springs. They get to
- 32:02the front gate of the of the town and the military kind of goes up
- 32:08to their car and they're like, so, uh, do you have your
- 32:14uh I think it's like a pass or some shit. Do you have your
- 32:15papers or what. They're like, we almost died back there in Joshua Tree
- 32:22and we rather not die, So is there any way you can like let
- 32:27us in or some shit, you know, like I want to live.
- 32:30And the military people are at the gate, like you know what, open
- 32:37it up, Open up the gates, let them in, and then they
- 32:39drive in the Palm Springs and they spend the rest of their time there in
- 32:43Palm Springs for the night, and that's pretty much the story and not show
- 32:47again. The story is only one hundred and twenty six pages long. You
- 32:50can read it in one afternoon like a couple knowing you you can probably read
- 32:53like an hour or two, but kind of liked this story. I liked
- 33:00it a lot. If you can listen to the audiobook. The audiobooks really
- 33:04really good too. I love how this story tackles topics of dealing with the
- 33:13LGBD and how they look at each other and how I don't know. Yeah,
- 33:22the story is pretty good. It's more and more. It's probably one
- 33:25of his more serious works of chuck compared to everything else that I read off
- 33:30earlier, because this other stuff is very much parody and satire. Well,
- 33:36this one's more of a serious tone. I would love to see this as
- 33:38a movie or a series in this world with like Saturation Day and stuff,
- 33:45because some of the shit they described in this book of like the killings that
- 33:47people have done and not realize they've done. That's the thing. They don't
- 33:52realize that they're doing this, so they're not in control of themselves. So
- 33:54it also comes down to can you prosecute somebody who's murder a bunch of people
- 34:00without reason without knowing that they murder a bunch of people? Because obviously they
- 34:07don't. Most people don't, but there are like when they're in that zombie
- 34:13mode, they just do it so but no, yeah, go read it
- 34:20if you want the e book. The e books like seven books. I
- 34:25got a whole stack of books. I'm reading it. Yeah, same here,
- 34:31same here, but yes that is straight. How long is this?
- 34:37Oh? Wow? Forty five minutes or forty five minutes and y'all wow,
- 34:43but yes, happy pride, go read this book. They kind of go
- 34:49over next week. So next for the next two weeks, I'm gonna be
- 34:53talking about a series of books done by t Kingfish. Sure we're gonna be
- 35:01talking or I'm gonna be talking about What Moves the Dead and then seql What
- 35:06Feasts at Night. And let me tell you, those books are good,
- 35:08and those books are also very queer. What Moves the Dad is a retelling
- 35:14of the House of Usher from at Groyland Poe and it's very It's really good.
- 35:22So that'll be the next to two books I'll be talking about, and
- 35:29then I might do another. You'll probably see me for the rest of probably
- 35:35the rest of July, probably, and then hopefully do you get a couple
- 35:42after getting our handful of books, and we'll go back to the wheel of
- 35:44time. Hopefully. I'm almost sung with book eleven and I'm probably probably go
- 35:49at the end of the day. Where and so I got three more books
- 35:53to read. Yep, we'll give you. I'll give you more than that
- 35:57time to read those three books. Got because I have a little to books.
- 36:00I have a document, a word doc, a Google doc that has
- 36:04all the lists of books I want to talk about, so I can go
- 36:06through them all. But thank you all for listening to today's episode of book
- 36:12Watchers. Sorry it's not a much longer episode, but I chose a much
- 36:15shorter story than normal. So yeah, I had the pride. Enjoy the
- 36:21pride. Be gay as fuck out there, y'all until next week. Until
- 36:27next week, Bye bye,
