2025/06/23

This week on the pod we have extra special guest Kat Robichaud of Misfit Cabaret and The Voice Season 5. With her, Joe and David discuss the 8th episode of season 10 Stagecooch AKA the girl group challenge. Apparently Drag Race was just pandering to David as the mini challenge is based on Clueless, Orville Peck shows up, and the runway is Night of 1000 Mileys. How many Clueless references are made? Do we agree with the winner of the week? And how many references do David and Kat make that go over

On a very special episode of This Toxic Fandom, the bois go deep under cover as sex workers in 1990s New York City to help out the international superspy Starbooty! Okay, that's not true, but wouldn't it be wild if we did the whole episode like that? Anyway, the girls of the Pink bracket of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 are given a Rusical so Jorgeous can show off how good of a dancer they are, where they play with PUSS, DIC, and TITS!

It's a new episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10, and it starts with an unintentional Mean Girls homage when the meanest girl in a one-inch heel decides to play dirty with her new lackey, causing every gay millennial to think "And none for Gretchen Wieners." Chapelle Roan shows up and blows us all away (or is it just a blow up doll?) and we have the six girls of the Pink bracket roast each other in a rap! Who will come out on top?

Wild discrepancies in ages and seasons abound as the six girls of the Pink Bracket of RuPaul's All Stars Season 10 are tasked with making a complete garment out of eight randomly assigned items that would flummox a lesser queen!

The orange bracket queens of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 are asked to take some GORGEOUS basketball-playing divas and turn them into drag family in the final challenge of the orange bracket! David has fled to Canada, so Steven and Joe have decided to debate over who was the second-worst girl of the week because this episode is a pulse-pounding thrill-a-minute escapade through some great looks, some truly horrific looks, suspicious padding, and the ever burning question: Is Bosco hot

Well, we've been dropped into a dunk tank, had our jokes stolen, held our lighters up in a jazz bar, saw a human tumbleweed, and learned never to trust thithers.

Now it's time to crown the winner and see who will take it!... You know who took it, right? Like, it was kinda obvious? Anyway, join the bois for one last splash
