The bois huddle together in the nonbinary bathroom (aka all of them you weirdos) and talk about the latest acting challenge from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars while also ignoring the horrible fact that this is the second bathroom episode in as many seasons. Once is an accident, twice is a hobby, y'know? Anyway they talk about Showgirls, acting, putting the wrong EMPHASIS on WORDS for humor, and the fact that Steven needs to learn to buy more shoes like he's a dictatorship in the 80s or something. It's a weird one, folks. Give it a download now and meet us in the bathroom!

What a concept! Jorgeous tries being butch, Sailor Moon takes up smoking, and we discuss what's so funny about truth, Drag, and the American way! Podcasts don't have gerrymandering, so get into it and listen NOW!

You'd think with a name like that they'd get the Property Brothers as guest stars. One of them is gay, right? Anyway, this week, the queens have to sell houses in mythical, made-up places such as Florida (RIP Uncle Raydell) and Texas. Then they have to take the runway in a day-to-night Ruveal that reminded this ol' bitch about the Barbie Doll who could do that. Meanwhile, the bois are fffffffffffreakin' exhausted after David's bachelor party and try their damnedest. Give them a break; they're SLEEPY! Anyway, love you mean it. XOXO Judy Newmeyer.

So we're all running on three hours of sleep because David's bachelor party but we love you enough to get an episode out to you. You're WELCOME. In this week we get a bunch of drool-worthy firefighters getting in drag as the girls work in teams. Who serves kitty and who serves burn victim? Listen to the episode to find out! I don't know! Steven and Joe spend most of it twirling their hair (well, Joe twirls their hair, Steven just kinda twirls air) and being giddy about firefighters while David tries to run the show. Now enjoy, dammit!

Will the bois be caped crusaders, or will they be crashing into the side of buildings? Smart money is on the latter, but only YOU can find out by downloading the latest episode of THIS TOXIC FANDOM!

We're not doing a music video?! My brain! It's on fire! As is Nymphia's pussy! As the top four girls go from relaxed and celebratory to panicked and hilarious, they're forced to dive deep into the murky waters of RuPaul's kiddy pool for an underwater lipsynch of silliness, and then they have to dig deep into their own personalities and souls and get really real as they make their own memoirs! Proving that you can recycle from even your own season and make something great, how will the bois handle this shocking and literary twist because reading is WHAT?! Hard! Join us as we dive into RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16 and get illiterate on the runway!
