The Legacy of Disco & Janet Jackson Appreciation Day

Welcome back to this safe space of gays talking sh*t. Just when we were about to lose faith in everything, Derek Chauvin was found guilty on three counts of murder. We discuss that along with the coming out of Colton Underwood, the obviously gay virgin Bachelor. We give our congrats and upmost respect to the reigning queen of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13, the Ebony Enchantress, and fleg fecktre owner, Miss Symone! Then we look at the legacy of Drag Race and its expansion over the past decade, from a small foggy show on Logo to a worldwide enterprise. The hottie lifeguard from Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Demi Lovato, Bernie Madoff, and Caitlyn Jenner all make it to our Toxic Awards this week. Listen and find out which superlative they get! Thanks family! Twitter & IG: Chris Allan: @thechrisallan Paul Barr: @pablacito Elliot Parras: @elliotparras

Sorry to our tens of listeners for our brief hiatus, but we’re back and better now that we sinned and spent in Las Vegas. This episode we discuss the passing of the icon DMX and that dude Prince Philip, the (alleged?) criminal activity of Salt Lake City Housewife Jen Shah, and the attack on trans youth access to gender-affirming healthcare. On the heels of Ariana Grande joining the Voice, we decided to have a Kiki moment on the history and future of reality singing competition shows. Last but not least, our Toxic Awards this week include Jesus Freaks, Taylor getting Kanye'd, Grey's Anatomy Star turned video Vixen Alex Landi, and the morally corrupt Matt Gaetz. You don't wanna miss this one! Twitter & IG: Chris Allan: @thechrisallan Paul Barr: @pablacito Elliot Parras: @elliotparras

First and foremost, our hearts go out to the family and friends of the victims of the Atlanta shooting, and to the entire Asian American community. It’s time this country addresses the history, stigma, and hardships our Asian community members face, and almost more importantly, the proliferation of white terrorism. #StopAsianHate #StopWhiteTerrorism To distract a little from the trauma, this week we deep dive into the Grammy Awards, past, present, and future. We let you know our thoughts on this years ceremonies, past snubs, and the overall culture of the Grammy/Scammy Awards. We also discuss topics such as the Erika Jayne/Girardi divorce scandal, Harry Styles being daddy, C*ndace Owens being a bully, the Meghan/Harry/Oprah aftermath, and a little trip down memory lane when the Dixie Chicks were cancelled. I guess you could say the sub theme of this episode is just how wack the US is?? Anyways, enjoy! Twitter & IG: Chris Allan: @thechrisallan Paul Barr: @pablacito Elliot Parras: @elliotparras
