Sniff you love someone... let them go...
Welcome BACK to the Thot Topics Sex Positivity Labs, where it's NOT illegal to be supa gay and whorney! Grab a beaker and assume the position: this is going to be a highly experimental treatment...
In another classic episode dedicated to the art & science of homosexuality, we uncover the secrets to ENJOYING BEING AROUND OTHER GAY PEOPLE when you thought all hope was lost. Is there lowkey an importance to identifying with a "tribe" of gays? Is it, in fact, pleasant to be around gay people? When? Where? And most importantly: would anyone like some stew?
But then: the REAL business at hand. We discuss the $100M buy-in to SNIFFIES by THE MATCH GROUP. This is a complex issue, so we provide a complete anal history of what happened to Grindr, what happened to gay guys in their childhoods, and so much more. It's a masterclass in knowing better than other people.
Then, we sort of review ZENZEALIA, but mostly mourn the loss of female rap. What the hell happened? We issue our final word.

WE ARE SO BACK! Welcome to deeeeluxe hour of Thot Topics excellence brought to you by Aubrey Graham of Toronto, Canada. There's so much to discuss, so whatcha waitin' for?
This week, we discuss DRAKE DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, and issue our highly valued gay male opinion on RAP MUSIC. Maid of Honour and the other ones... so many thoughts to be shared. Plus, Nick recaps his ICELANDIC ADVENTURE and issues a state of the union address regarding his thoughts on America after a time away.
That's not all though: we also chat about the new Charli XCX single ROCK MUSIC: whether or not it's a sign of good things to come, or if we have really lost our girl in the depths of the sauce.

Why it gotta be ARABesque girl!?!
We're back and our form on the barre is than ever. Are you ready to kornbread jete onto center stage for a tasty weekend of Thot Topicking? There's SO MUCH on our minds this week...
First, Nick has a few thoughts on his mind regarding THE VENMO/CASHAPP/ZELLE RACIAL DIVIDE and whether it's appropriate to bring your Nintendo Switch to work. We do a little bit of Critical Race Theory and a little bit of DEI while we're at it. But naturally there's more...
In the final rush to OSCARS NIGHT, we issue our final official predictions for the turnout and issue a conspiracy theory of our own. Are the powers that be trying to thwart Chalamet? DOES anyone give a fuck about opera or ballet? SHOULD they? We unpack it all hunni.

This week, we talk about THE ART OF FUJOING OUT: what makes gay guy sex so fun to straight women? Are the gay guys in the minds of the slash fiction enjoyer even gay guys? WHO CARES? Today, we do. More thoughts on Heated Rivalry and chick porn abound...
But that's not all sweetheart: we talk about TOURETTE'S AT THE BAFTAs and a fun return to Obamastyle Twitter-- should you be punished for knowing about the N word and having Tourette's? The answer may surprise you...

It's a winter wonderland in the Thot Topics studio and we are in the spirit of giving: CUNT, that is! There's so much to get into, and there's no time like the PRESENT... LOOOL
First, we review the gay hockey program that is licking and sucking and fondling the nation: HEATED RIVALRY. Why are the guys not even hot? Why did they bother with the hockey? Why do straight girls want to watch straight guys rail? We recommend a visual of Rachel Reid to enjoy fully.
Then, it's WRAPPED SEASON, so we look back on the 15 defining songs of 2025 for each girl. I'll warn you it was a very LGBT year, but we have fun anyway looking back on a year of musical triumph.

This week, the girls unpack the etymology of "TREATLER" and attempt to self-diagnose. We are medical professionals after all. But then it's down to biz!
We talk about Rina Sawayama's cultural appropriation allegations against Sabrina Carpenter. Who left their WHORE shoes on in my beautiful Japanese home???
Then, we pull out our dark crystals (you don't want to know where from) and SCRY the night away, into the future of MUSIC JOURNALISM: specifically, is Pitchfork making a huge mistake allowing user ratings? Will the STAN kill the CRITIC, or have they already? It's a serious investigation luv...
