Items discussed on the show: An ice cream cake you can make "in the back of your car." The upcoming Chromatica remix album, confirmed by Lady Gaga. Outsports.com's coverage of the Olympics. Provincetown's citizen scientist effort to contact trace a Delta variant outbreak. A lawyer who fought for marriage equality helped disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo discredit abuse victims.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the August edition of Outward. I'm Raman Alam and I'm just
0:23.2	recently a year older and wiser and here's what I learned upon entering my 44th year.
0:28.9	It is possible using only cookies, ice cream and store bought ice cream sandwiches to make the
0:34.4	best birthday cake you'll ever have. This is an actual recipe from the New York Times but I honestly
0:40.3	feel like you can extrapolate based on that list of ingredients and I truly think that this is maybe
0:46.4	all the wisdom I have to offer as I enter a new year. This is a good reminder that isn't your thing
0:52.5	making your own birthday cake? My children's birthdays follow my own birthday very closely
0:58.6	and so I usually do a lot of like birthday cake construction for them and it usually happens
1:05.0	in a rental house kitchen because we're often out of town for their birthdays but this particular

1:32.0	just learned just before we went to press or to record now of the existence of the chromatica remix
1:39.6	album by Lady Gaga and many other exciting artists and so my summer is now complete. This is
1:47.1	something that had been rumored and now it has been confirmed just I think just last night so I'm
1:52.6	a happy gay I'm excited for that rain on me remix. I'm happy for you. Thank you. I'm Christina
2:00.2	Cutterucci a senior writer at Slate and I am coming to you live from our co-workers apartment
2:07.4	in Brooklyn where I am cat sitting for a small angel named Sebastian and Brian I was thinking of
2:13.1	you because in our little you know video calls I always see your cats tail just kind of swooping
2:18.8	around in front of your face and today I got to experience that right of passage for myself.
2:25.3	Is it only when you're giving attention to like people on the screen that this cat comes up?
