Mik4clay Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 Brilliant. That’s the way politics should be. Every person in America should listen to this podcast..informative, engaging, respectful and funny. {who in their right mind could believe a vaccine causes boobs to shrink?!!} I loved Clay’s response- I wouldn’t mind if mine got a little smaller, hahaha My favorite past interview with Scottie. I bet she’s a closet claymate.. how could you not be? He looked delicious! Link to comment

ldyjocelyn Posted June 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I loved his work with Scottie! Hey -- Clay's hair is white again! Article here: https://www.tmz.com/2021/06/02/clay-aiken-the-rock-mcconaughey-running-for-office-warning-caitlyn-jenner/ And video here: 1 Link to comment
merrieeee Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Is he now getting more political appearances? Link to comment
Mik4clay Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I bet. Publicity.. if you’re going to do a political news show, got to talk the smack. I totally agree about Caitlyn. Who the hell is going to vote for you? Liberals aren’t going to vote for a Trumper just because of who you are.. and the conservatives sure the hell aren't 🙁 1 year ago I started looking Clay back up. The first picture I saw was the ad for the 2018 Broadway Xmas show and I was like ‘Why the hell does Clay look 70 when he should only be around 40?! Shock to the system, Not a fan really-kinda grew on me though.. dang, the guy can make anything look cute. 🤷♀️ Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Re: the hair. Yes, it's a shock to the system. But, I always said "it's only hair," and I still believe that. I think he looks good no matter his hair color. As for the political stuff....yeah, it does seem that he's more open to talking about this stuff again. I think part of it is convenience, in regards to his being a celebrity who has gone through the entire political process, and it's easy for media to connect the dots to other celebrities doing the same thing. The drag queen news thing though is new, and I like that. To me, that's more about adding to his resume. Hopefully, his resume will be good enough to get him a political pundit gig or two again.

ldyjocelyn Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Full episode of the TMZ show. Clay starts at about 19 minutes in. More to the interview than what was posted earlier. https://www.tmz.com/shows/tmz-live/ Link to comment
Mik4clay Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I was talking to a huge Trump supporting Q- anon(er) the other day and she told me that she loved the series ‘Pose’ on FX with Billy Porter. I was surprised and it really warmed my heart. I think Clay is tapping into something right now, with a news twist. IMO, I think this is going to be big! Ldyj thanks for bringing the whole tmz interview, it was great- loved the HTHAWGGA plug! Link to comment
Mik4clay Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 See look .. cute as hell here.. Oh wait, that might be the glasses 🤓 Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted June 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 It's the combo -- the hair, the glasses and that laugh/grin! He just tweeted...and this is freakin' hysterical! 1 Link to comment

It is truly rare to see Clay perform in such an intimate setting! Tickets will be released in mid June. Link to comment
FearofH2O Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Sounds like some lovely things going on. Would love to go to these appearances. I am very fortunate to have traveled around seeing Clay over the years. I hope he gets many new fans from these appearances. 1 Link to comment
Mik4clay Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 HA that’s great! I actually listened to that song a while back. I think Clay’s fans (including self) pretty much ignored the creepiness in that song 😜 I’m back from an off-the -grid camping trip. I get back and see that Clay is going to be doing some singing this summer.. yay! Glad to see it’s not going to be all news and politics for him. The NY venue looks like a beauty. I hope like hell Clay will be in that area next spring, for any reason 🤞 that’s my tentative plan for future NY trip. I’ve never been there! Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted June 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 https://www.ticketfairy.com/event/broadway-out-east-clay-aiken-15jul2021/ This is for the Hampton's event. Even at the cheapest prices, this would be an expensive evening (because you're also supposed to order dinner!). Sounds like a great night, though. I was just curious....this event is part of a weekly series. The only other star that can charge those prices is Titus Burgess (from "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmitt" -- he's fantastic!). Everyone else is at cheaper rates, some as much as a half the ticket price of Clay. I was really surprised that Brandon Victor Dixon is part of that less expensive group. He slayed me with his portrayal of Judas in the live TV version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" a few years ago. I also understand the Project's Karaoke tickets went on sale today as well.... Welcome back Mik! 1 Link to comment
gbmifan Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I also was on a 10 day camping/biking trip. First 5 days we were at a campground that had wifi, the next 5 days we were at a National campground so I was able to get my 4g to pick up once in awhile. My traveling buddy got us tickets for Karaoke night. After I rode yesterday I sent a text to see if we got in. No response so I called her. She had sent three text messages and they finally showed up 6 hours later. I guess I was enough off the grid that it took longer. I justify going to this because my airline voucher expires in December and I have not been anywhere for a long time. DH did not care, so I am going. 1 Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 gbmifan, that's great that you get to go to the Karaoke night! And welcome back as well. Link to comment
Mik4clay Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 😁 I love to hear that people are going! i sure hopes there’s video! Link to comment
ldyjocelyn Posted June 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I too hope for some video! New podcast is up: From Wikipedia: Quote Irshad Manji (born 1968) is a Ugandan-born Canadian educator. She is the author of The Trouble with Islam Today (2004) and Allah, Liberty and Love (2011), both of which have been banned in several Muslim countries.[1][2][3] She also produced a PBS documentary in the America at a Crossroads series, titled Faith Without Fear, which was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2008.[1][4] A former journalist and television presenter, Manji is an advocate of a reformist interpretation of Islam and a critic of literalist interpretations of the Qur'an. Her latest book, Don't Label Me (2019), proposes methods on how to heal political, racial, and cultural divides. The ideas in the book are related to the Moral Courage Project, which Manji founded at New York University in 2008 and expanded to the University of Southern California (USC) in 2016, when she was a senior fellow at the Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy.[5] After leaving USC, she founded Moral Courage College with the goal of teaching "young people how to engage honestly about polarizing issues rather than shaming or canceling each other".[6] Manji lectures on these themes as a senior research fellow with the Oxford Initiative for Global Ethics and Human Rights.[7] Link to comment
Mik4clay Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 OMG - these podcasts are just getting better each week. Guests get smarter each week too! I LUV when Clay gets involved more and I can’t turn the damn thing off, wafting for the next evil laugh or cutest thing to be said ❤️❤️ I cant figure out if I would rather whip Clay Aiken’s ass or just puncture his premise- eee both sound like fun 😝 Great podcast Abu Aiken!
