Not a lot of topics this week... we went in with a game plan I swear!
This week, we convene for a wine-drunk Girls' Summit and discuss everything that's on our sick and twisted minds. Honestly, what DON'T we cover? The difference between people who come out in high school vs college, the Super Mario Movie, this spring's new and very off vibe, being more famous than Bob the Drag Queen, being clockable, using hotness to get ahead in the world, PUSSY HOLE BY DJ NASTY, and SOOO much more. We get progressively more wasted and unintelligible so good luck!

Believe it or not we thought we were going to have time to talk about the TikTok ban and school shooters LOL! This week, we deliver the definitive two-hour-long deep dive into Lana Del Rey's new album. In a track by track evaluation, we assess the good, the bad, and the fugly: and deliver some takes that we really think you're gonna hate!

OOF!
We take our big, feathery female investigative journalist hats off and place them FIRMLY on the rack this week in the name of hot, wet FUN! This week, we forgo all reporting and take-making duties to play an intense game of TRUTH OR DRINK, revealing more personal details than we ever have in our podcasting careers.
I don't want to spoil anything but we get literally so wasted on this episode and I don't remember anything we said so I can't be held responsible. Maybe you guys can tell us what went down! Circumcision, early Internet trauma, vices, doomed romance, ketophobia, and MORE!!! Tune the fuck in.

We just got HIV!!! WOOOOOO! Ayyy! The boy's a liarrrr! Oooh! The boy's a liarrrr! HEYYY!!!
This week is all about sin: who's got it? Who wants it? Who's taking it out on consenting unconscious adults? Only one podcast has the answers. Following a brief State of the Podcast address, we get down to business.
First, we psychoanalyze the HIV Twink. Is it cool to have a yassified response to a diagnosis? Should HIV be treated like gonorrhea? Are certain people predisposed to HIV just by looking like that? You're guaranteed to think "Period" to yourself at the end of this segment, or your money back!
Then, we talk about Dr. Whale's theory of sex positivity ending date rape: would rape end if we made it okay for guys to pay women to drug themselves and get fucked unconscious? LOOOOOOL.........
Anyway, we bullshit and tell the girls a little bit about our weekend plans, Sydney Sweeney, animals' capacity for love, and SOOOO much more. XO sisters!

Now That’s What I Call Mother!
Thursday Mar 02, 2023
Thursday Mar 02, 2023
We've come together for an emergency session to address the end of the word "mother" and the woman who delivered the death blow: Meghan Freakin Trainor, Queen of PAWGs.
Naturally that's not all: we discuss the pathetic state of everyday mens' fashion, the Chicago mayoral race (including a heartfelt tribute to our muppet queen Lori Lightfoot), and how to say various cuss words in sign language.
We give Kali Uchis and rightwing bodybuilder Twitter a piece of our mind too. Is it evil to drink liquor and should everyone stop doing it? Is it gay to have a ripped fizeek? Are muscle tee brands making the kids ghey? TUNE IN and find out...

We're back with a vengenace! (We're=Onika,Vengeance=Burger)
We know we left you ladies hanging last week so this week we're unleashing a double-wide super-soaked hot-and-horny God-fearing two part special. We've accepted a truly prime list of topic suggestions from our listeners and get to the emotional heart of whatever mentally ill behavior went down online the last few weeks.
The first chapter is free for all, but if you want the FULL tea, you'll have to join the Thot Topics sisterhood officially with a little Patreon action. The second hour of the show is waiting for you BEYOND THE PAYWALL!
We chat: the job hunt, A&W, Caroline Polachek, Chinese people eating animals while they're still moving, raising children, gay monogamy (I know, I know), Angela Bassett doing the thing, Salina EsTitties, and SO much more. I can't even begin to describe how much ground we cover.

Thursday Feb 02, 2023
It was a slow news week so we decide to take the cultural temperature-- by performing an in-depth review of the current Top 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. What does the presence of Bebe Rexha mean for America? Is Miley Cyrus "Flowers" astroturfed or do people really like this shit? Does mummy know that daddy's getting hot at the bodyshop? ALL is revealed.
But that's not all: we christen Cris's new apartment and talk gnocchi, firemen, sniffing snuff, specialty donuts and OF COURSE...

PATRONS ONLY! You wouldn't get it.

In our iciest and spiciest episode yet, we hold a bookkeeping powwow ahead of tax season: why didn't anyone tell us we were supposed to set aside money from the Patreon to give to the government? It's not like JOE BIDEN stuck out his fucking NECK to tell the truth about Tinashe...
With the chips stacked and the coins counted, we turn to the news in Gay Guy World. First, we review the new Kim Petras single "Brrr," along with the debut EP from Ice Spice. Is the Ice Spice hate train just around the bend, or can we bask in her Bob Ross hair a little longer? Time will tell, but WE will tell first...
Then, we discuss Azealia's catastrophic departure from Parlophone Records after being signed for only a month and releasing zero music. We play a little bit of Gay&R and plot Azealia's ideal career path.
Last but certainly not least, we talk about "mascara," "grape," "unalive," and the other silly goofy words to cover up Serious Traumatic Triggering Topics on TikTok. Divulging personal trauma online! Julia Fox! Seeking attention! Elaborate lies! It's truly salacious.

We're back-- and this time, it's pussonal...
In this double-wide spectacular, we let out a lot of extremely complicated, unique, and sexy emotions:
RAGE: We talk about the unjust cancellation of Betsey Brown's Actors screening at the Music Box Theatre, and psychoanalyze our haters.
ENNUI: If your parents raised you to love fast food is it ever possible to learn portion control?
REGRESSION: Are children's movies like PUSS IN BOOTS and its "highly realistic cat panic attack" actually designed for children? Or stunted adults?
FEELING MEOW TO THE PUSSYCAT-CUNT: Is Kim Petras making a mockery of SOPHIE's legacy by making music that kind of sounds like her?
All is revealed, and all the certifiably perfect answers are sponsored our friends at MAGIC MIND. Hit magicmind.co/topics and use the promo code TOPICS20 to get 20% off your first purchase of the OFISHAL productivity drink of this episode.

**PATRONS ONLY. TRAILER FOR THE POOR!**
In our inaugural episode of the Year of the Rabbit, we get little crazy and Asian up in here! It's RICH!
First, we have a little bit of much-needed girl time: Nick tells the story of his engaygement, and Cris recounts his trip to the Camein Guylands. Plus, we discuss Apple's behavioral issues, and not caring about the environment.
But that's not all: we give our first impressions of the "lovely ladies" of Season 15 of Drag Race (it takes longer than we intend but we really go deep.) Plus, we review the holder of the new diva crown M3GAN (Spoilers beware but it's a dumb movie lol you really should already know how it ends...)
AND!!! We talk about Gwen Stefani's totally valid Japanese heritage and Lizzo's claim that cancel culture is cultural appropriation. I think this is a really optimistic hour and a half!
