We are taking a short break from recording this week so we're re-running a classic Let's Unpack That episode. This episode is all about the QAnon movement: what it was, how it came to be, and the influence it has had on American culture and politics. Plus, Paul and Andrew discuss internet message boards and how conspiracy theories get traction in the mainstream media. While we no longer hear about QAnon constantly like we did three years ago this topic is still relevant. Many aspects of the conspiracy theory and related beliefs have metastasized in America's political right. We are truly livin ..read more

In a first for this podcast we successfully recorded an episode in-person together! For such a momentous occasion we had to go to our roots and talk about the things that bother us, piss us off, or that we love about this country we call home. Men, condiments, music, tipping – all is fair game. These are our American Hellscapes. Special thanks to Philly Podcast Space (IG: @phillypodcastspace) for hosting us. Hosted by Erica (@erica_megan), Kirk (@kirk.charles), Andrew (@andrwjn), and Paul (@twinkhound) Produced by Maggie (@maggiirosee ..read more

It’s COVID-19. Miss Rona, if you’re nasty! Consider this an episode for the time capsule. Because four years after this virus began its warpath, we’re talking all things COVID Cringe. Do you remember Gal Gadot’s celebrity montage of “Imagine?” What about Donald Trump’s suggestion that we inject disinfectant? Or maybe you’re still unable to forgive your Great Aunt Mary for all those Zoom calls. We’re cover the gamut and recapping the hellscape of COVID, 2020, and the events that make us wince to this day. To wrap things up, we’ll play a rapid-fire game of “Did that really happen?!” where we r ..read more

Unless you live under a rock, or you’re Andrew, you’ve probably seen the recent news - Kate Middleton is missing. While normally a missing person is troubling news the Middleton conundrum is actually just another tally in the British Royal Family’s LONG line of craziness, media-spotting, conspiracy theorist, attention-seeking life that we are plagued with - even living thousands of miles away.  For this episode we asked ourselves, what better time to get into the hellscape of this relic and controversial institution than right now. And while we are not about to give you an extensive histo ..read more

In this era of dating woes, where swiping left seems easier than finding common ground, our latest episode dives headfirst into the chaos of romance amidst political polarization. With men veering right and women swerving left, courtesy of a chaotic political landscape and scrotus, the dynamics of dating have never been worse.  So we have to tackle the burning questions: Would you swipe right on a Trump-er? Could you overlook political differences for love? And let's not forget the real dealbreakers—bad hygiene and pasta-eating faux pas. Tune in to discover just how low Kirk's standards t ..read more

When is a hole more than a hole? On their birthday! Today we celebrate – or barely tolerate – the smallest yet loudest member of the podcast: Kirk! First, Paul drops in for the intro. Then we air out or grievances with Kirk before saying a few nice things about him for once. Nothing says "we love you" quite like yet another reminder you are functionally illiterate.   Hosted by Erica (@erica_megan), Kirk (@kirk.charles), Andrew (@andrwjn) With a brief appearance by Paul (@extremely_divorced) Produced by Maggie (@maggiirosee)  ..read more

We all had that one kid in our class that was born on Leap Day and had to tell everyone they were 3 years old when they were actually 12. Well, today we talk about why Leap Day isn’t real, along with time. Oh, and how 2024 is a complete redo of 2020, so have we even left 2020? You know, some reallll simple stuff. If you’ve ever sat and contemplated if time was a social construct, this one’s for you.  By the way - we told Kirk he could have the leap day episode because technically, does it even exist? So if you hate this episode, fully blame him. Hosted by Erica (@erica_megan), Kirk (@kirk ..read more

Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, Hair, Hair, Hair. In this episode, Paul returns to host a discussion on body hair, shaving & grooming, and preferred body hair in romantic partners. We’ll talk about our biggest body hair icks, but also reflect on the problematic beauty standards tied to Body Hair, particularly in women and gay men. To wrap things up, we’ll pit the Queers against the Straights in a game we’re calling, “Hair to Hair, Toe to Toe.” The winner will receive bragging rights and full body shave courtesy of Paul. Hosted by Erica (@erica_megan), Kirk (@kirk.charles), Andrew (@andrwjn), and P ..read more

Roses are red, violets are blue, welcome to the Hellscape, where love's askew. There’s love in the air and sewage in the dating pool.
