Trigger Warning!

Recorded live from Fire Island, Adam and I are breaking down Patti LuPone’s Atlantis cruise drama, Kristin Chenoweth backlash, Lizzo’s new album reportedly selling 3,000 copies and what I think is a full‑blown PR disaster. Plus Provincetown’s “Problem Town” canceling headliners’ shows and not only refusing refunds (which I would never do) blaming it on the performer- whoa.  We also get into my lat...

Wanna know what happens when we take Trigger Warning LIVE to the Ice Palace during Pride Week in Fire Island? Well the answer is simple… Chaos. Drag royalty. Audience triggers. And yes — a very honest review of Stop That Train. I’m Daniel Nardicio, and alongside my brother Adam Klesh, we recorded this episode LIVE in the middle of the Ice Palace during Pride Week madness. We recap our Ultra Naté e...

Happy Pride, queens, This week Adam and I took Trigger Warning live to the legendary Ice Palace in Fire Island and brought true icons with us — Ultra Naté, Inaya Day. We get into the real roots of house music in gay underground clubs, how LGBTQIA+ culture built the dance floor, and why Pride without house just feels… wrong. Inaya tells the full story of how “Keep Pushing” blew up — from hearing he...

Welcome back to Trigger Warning — where nothing is sacred, especially not deviled eggs. This week Adam and I spiral from the Ice Palace coffee bar in Cherry Grove to my now‑iconic deviled egg fascinator (unfortunately real), and the scandal of deviled eggs disappearing from a memorial servcice. I share my full Kylie Minogue “Timebomb” couture meltdown — jacket, boots, limited‑edition bag — give up...

Hey Gurl — it’s me, Daniel Nardicio, coming to you from our “studio” (aka the storage unit) at the Ice Palace on Fire Island with my brother and partner in crime, Adam Klesh. And this week on Trigger Warning, we are joined by the one and only Varla Jean Merman ahead of her first Fire Island performance and the finale of her show The Drowsy Chappell Roan . And yes… it gets unhinged. We go there- an...

This week on Trigger Warning , Adam and I are coming to you straight from our Fire Island ‘storage unit studio/ — because nothing says “thriving media empire” like folding chairs and exposed wiring. Adam and I survived a rain-soaked, chaos-drenched weekend of NYC nightlife, including a completely sold-out Dina Martina show (you’re welcome), an aggressively ugly sculpture I regret purchasing, and a...

Memorial Day weekend on Fire Island is officially the start of summer — and this week on Trigger Warning , Adam and I are recording live from the legendary Ice Palace in Cherry Grove. We kick things off with some classic Fire Island banter: wigs, chaotic past parties, rainy holiday vibes, and yes — thoughts on the Kylie Minogue Netflix documentary.  But there real meat and potatoes, folks is our e...

Part two — and we’re going even deeper. In this episode of Trigger Warning , Adam and I bring back Animatronic to dive into the real history of queer nightlife — from the global legend Bricktop to stewarding Fire Island’s iconic Ice Palace. If you don’t know Bricktop, buckle up. She was a Black saloon singer and hostess from West Virginia who became one of the most powerful nightlife figures in Pa...

Welcome to Trigger Warning — my intentionally chaotic NYC nightlife podcast. Adam and I kick things off in our new Summer “studio” at the Ice Palace where we sit down with the iconic Ana Matronic — DJ, Scissor Sisters legend, and self-proclaimed “pop star with the soul of a librarian.” And yes… we go there. What We Get Into: ✨ Broadway diva lore (Patti, Liza, Carol — obviously)  ✨ Scissor Sister...

We’re officially in our visual era — and no, this is still NOT a safe space. Adam and I bring Trigger Warning to YouTube with NYC nightlife chaos, Fire Island tea, and zero filters. From Mr. New York to what’s coming at the Ice Palace, gurl is it FULL ON. This week we are SO excited to welcome the legendary DJ Lina (co‑host of The Cutting Up: A Kiki with Connie and Lina ) who joins us to talk: 🌈...

Adam and I are back to make your day (or possibly ruin it, who knows).  In any case elcome to another episode of Trigger Warning — now in living color. On today's show, Adam and I take a trip down memory lane to our chaotic East Village Radio days. Remember when we literally recorded a live episode on the D train? Yeah, we’re still recovering from that.  But the real star of this episode is o...

This week on Trigger Warning , I’m serving nightlife, nuance, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting. Daniel and I kick things off with peak NYC nightlife energy — theater talk, Berlin adventures, Fire Island plans, and a proper celebration of John Waters turning 80 (a cultural icon, a genius, a reason half of us moved to New York). Then we welcome Rob Shuter — celebrity gossip columnist, en...

WE ARE BACK! And by we I mean me and Adam, fully unhinged and recording Trigger Warning straight from The Cockpit at Red Eye.  After a seemingly endless stint living in Zihuatanejo (no I really do love it), I’m back in New York where I belong: overstimulated, over‑moisturized, and aggressively look‑maxxing. Even Adam commented on my upbeat mood! This week we kick things off catching up on NYC nigh...

Welcome to Trigger Warning — the boozy, blunt podcast that is absolutely not a safe space. In this spring fever episode, I’m back with Daniel and we cover everything from St. Patrick’s Day nostalgia to Easter atheism, Irish-American identity spirals, online trolls, fake reviews, Fire Island bunny antics, and why I might be done with internet comment sections forever. Because apparently, having opi...

This week on Trigger Warning, we welcome the unhinged genius herself — Jimbo, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 and now a permanent judge on Canada’s Drag Race: Canada’s Drag Race All Stars — and things spiral immediately. We’re recording from Zepolita (yes, the nude beach, yes, that energy), so naturally we discuss nudity, Playa del Amor fire dancers, Burning Man delusion, and why the air...

This episode starts with absolutely no plan and somehow ends with nonprofit theater, Atlantis Cruise arrests, Patti LuPone, and me being accused (again) of gentrifying Mexico. So. You’re welcome. Adam and I are in full Zipolite brain — which means we’re overstimulated, under‑hydrated, and spiritually sponsored by ChiZme. Within the first five minutes we’ve already derailed into dinner party gossip...

Adam and I recorded this one live from Zip 66 — a little sweaty, a little loud, very on‑brand — and finally gave you the Casa Oasis tea. 🌴🔥 Yes, we bought more land.  Yes, the project got bigger.  Yes, this is how it always happens with us. Our architect Hal Hayes joins us to talk about designing in Mexico for the first time — rainy season drama, concrete timelines, cultural “mañana” moments — a...

This week Adam and I are recording LIVE (well… pre-opening and mildly sweaty) from ChiZme in Zipolite — and trust me, this is not your average beach bar. We are sitting down with Vincent, the man, the myth, the beautifully unbothered mastermind behind what might be the most iconic underground gay bar in Mexico right now- ChiZme. Think Berlin energy. Think mezcal. Think dim alley entrance. Think ze...

Snowmageddon 2026 hit New York and somehow I’m the one running errands in a blizzard like a Victorian orphan. Daniel and I are back this week with more chaos and insanity. Then Broadway star, Jonathan Groff shows up, radiating golden retriever theater kid energy, and the episode goes fully off the rails. We do dueling intros like we’re competing for a Tony. He spills on Spring Awakening , Hamilton...

It’s part 2 with the legendary Coco Peru- and it is ALL THAT, queen! We get into Coco’s sitcom era — including Will & Grace — and the very glamorous experience of having your role slowly edited into oblivion. Did she spiral? No. Did she take it personally? Also no. Because when your name is still big in the credits, you sip your tea and move on. We talk about Trick — the gay rom-com that chang...

This week Daniel and I sat down with the legendary Coco Peru in Stowe and, girl, I was positively giddy. I was first introduced to Coco in the truly seminal gay film Trick  and have been a huge fan ever since. And let me tell you she is everything you think she is and more!  Coco glides in, perfectly composed, and immediately starts dropping wisdom like a glamorous life coach who’s survived both F...

🚨 TRIGGER WARNING 🚨 If you think love is only for February 14th… this episode might offend you. 💋 On this week’s Trigger Warning , I’m coming for the “Valentine’s Day only” romantics. Because why are we hoarding kindness like it’s limited edition chocolate?! I’m talking about spreading love beyond Valentine’s Day — and no, not in a cringey greeting card way. I mean real‑life, everyday, slightly...

OK queens, Adam and I are back — and somehow we thought it was a good idea to record an episode during the opening night of our brand‑new restaurant, Zip 66. Was it chaotic? Yes. Was it smart? Debatable. Was it on brand? Completely. This episode is a fever dream of art, nightlife, and explicit humor, fueled by adrenaline, bad decisions, and zero sleep. I get into stories from my time working with...

It’s cold outside, but it’s HOT in here! If you’re freezing (emotionally or otherwise), consider this your winter escape. Adam and I are back and fully bringing you Labor Day Weekend in February.  This week on Trigger Warning , we’re serving Summer in Winter, complete with Burning Man dust, NYC nightlife chaos, Southern Decadence memories, and the cultural institution that is Miss Fire Island. Thi...

Yep. We went there. This week is a JUMBO episode-  extra Trigger. So, buckle up queens because we KNOW you are gonna have something to say. Recently, Adam and I sat down with Sherry Pie — yes, that Sherry Pie from RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 — for a conversation a lot of people weren’t interested in having. This is not a puff piece, girl. It’s a messy, uncomfortable, sometimes funny, sometimes br...
