Huge thank you to Tat and Rachel from Trash TV Pod for having me on and for all the laughs! Check them out @trashtvpod Please Not...

You're on a hike and you see a bear or 25 men about to be on reality television? Who do you choose? Well Shannon (from Do The Roses Align) and I attempt to get to know the men first via their ABC bios and sun signs before we decide. Tune in to see who we choose, which man is most likely to block me or get in beef with Nick Viall, and of course who will maybe one day come out. /joking Follow us on...

We also chat about their amazing web series geared towards creating safe, educational, and fun videos for LGBTQIA+ kids and their families!! Like Mister Rogers, but somehow gayer. PLEASE take a second to check out their instagram...

The Bachelor franchise and the Pageantry world have had a long and rich history, one that makes sense on the surface. But when interrogated a little more the layers are quite fascinating...especially the gay layer. Because baby this is AMERICA and we have gay and trans Pageant Queens!! and !!gasp!! gay bachelor contestants! As god intended! And to here to discuss all of that and beyond, I'm joined...

Three years ago disgraced host of The Bachelor franchise, Chris Harrison, was fired for his racist outburst and subsequent insincere apologies. But in those years he has attempted to rewrite that time and his legacy. And with the impending reality of his new dating show and continued image rehab...Limi and I wanted to work on a timeline deep dive of what happened in 2021 and prior. In hopes that i...

In this off season episode I'm joined by Shannon who, like me and Taylor, is also a member of The Tortured Poets Department. Which if you're confused about what that means, it just means we're traumatized gays with some mental illness. Together we try to spread the gospel of the alleged secondary layer of both albums...and oops it's almost two hours long. Just like this god forsaken double album d...

I don't think any of us saw this season and what it would bring coming. But it came for us regardless. The highs, the lows, the twists, the expected, and everything in between. We did it together. And to help celebrate that I was stoked to bookend the season with Shannon from Do The Roses Align. Together we talk about the finale, the edits, the girl power, the gay, the Bachelorette announcement an...

As is tradition we must gather all the ex's in one room and let the tension rise to the point of tears. But luckily there was some bombshells and soft moments to help ease the strife...barely. And to help me break down the Women Tell All, I am joined by Joey's future bae - Epiphany! Together we talk about how we got to this stage in the season, the main drama (Maria), the rampant racism, and our p...

I have to say after an entire season of beating us over the heads with tennis related moments, they really failed during Fantasy Suites to bring us any tennis related sex puns. According to a list of tennis terms I just googled, we could have seen talk of Forehand, Stroke, Ground Stroke, Foot Fault, and being a Receiver. I'm disappointed. But what does not disappoint, is this weeks podcast with gu...

When you're here, you're FAMILY. And that's also the theme of this week of The Bachelor, as Joey got to meet his final 4's families. And surprisingly it was entertaining and interesting???

Welcome back to Bachelor Jojo's journey to find a woman who will accept that he's not a perfect man. A tall order considering women typically never have to settle in life or anything like that.

She recently when to Playa Escondita aka Paradise and I couldn't wait to hear ab...
