Can you believe it? The gang gets annoyed with another Ridgewood restaurant. Maybe it’ll make you feel at peace that the #1 podcast for trans guy divorcees isn’t really freaking out about the destruction of the federal government. It is the men behind the curtains we’re worried about. How to kill tech bros in a video game??? They hire servants to game for them, it isn’t fair. Where’s the source? Where’s the spawn point? AI could never write this description, my consciousness is beyond machine measure. The fake lesbians were right: they’re not gonna get us.

This episode we build out the theory that film is dead, and everything is now a collage/humiliation ritual. Comic book characters are fun little guys we should all get to play with. The People’s Joker does not exist in a vacuum, there must be more. Todd is too much of a loser to imagine a future, but he did shoot Martin Scorsese in the face. We also talk about east meets west valley girls and how they shall inherit the earth.

The trans online commentariat went nuts over comrade of the pod Charlie Markbreiter’s new piece in The Nation “The Harris Campaign Has Offered Trans People Almost Nothing” so Nas and OK decided to read it aloud for you dear listener! Fresh tranny intelligentsia takes to do politics with! Write these down: single payer healthcare is the FLOOR and the democratic party is actively working against that goal, trans people and all people in the global south deserve liberation and our assimilation into bourgeoisie parties divide solidarity with them, the majority of the working classes (including criminalized people within the imperial core) do not get access to healthcare AT ALL.

Nas is back from Austria! OK is back from Toronto and the WRATH autonomous zone! And these freaks are WORN OUT, but ready to gab up a storm about democrats, demon rats, democracy, the cops, and strategies. It’s really sick and gross to watch public institutions and services collapse. It’s disgusting to watch the pigs and other genocidal forces rake in our money. Doesn’t it make you wanna start slashing tires in a video game??

We’re joined by former West Coast farm kid and current UMAW member Kenneth of Slashed Tires fame!!! We should have put one of their songs as the ending but instead we got obsessed with Tommy Tone’s Brian Wilson mix. We have bad brains! We talk about trans celebs having geopolitical takes, stop & shop, and expensive sandwiches with no pickle and millenial aesthetics 🤬

In the bonus episode we do a book review about mystery, murder, and the middle class. We’re not naming the book because we don’t want to get sued. Will the big bad Bard and accursed Airbnb get their due? Is the author exploiting her relationship with the victim? We have complicated feelings and personal connections of our own. Can we cash in on the trauma too? LISTEN AND SUPPORT US: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-l-book-109533616

This was gonna be paywalled, but it’s way too main episode vibe so no reason to assign it a gender. BIG ep for the New York nationalists out there. Trump’s guilty verdict is the latest notch in his New Yorker cultural cache, but in this episode we talk about his relationship to theater, how it relates to where he’s from in Queens, and to his constituents within Long Island style conservatism. Who better to tawlk about Long Gayland than OK’s beautiful drag mother-sibling Linda Felcher, whose drag was inspired by their family from that cursed isle. We also discuss OK’s encounters with Beck and the Real Housewives at the NADA art fair. He gives us a little review of his mentor Lee Masterson‘s big gallery world cumming out. Finally, the Halloween straight couple queer umbrella theory returns with a little review of the Dragula stage show.

OK Fox and Eric Kostiuk Willams  return with a recap of festival season. We have criticisms and praises for Flamecon in NYC, Queer Trans Zine Fest in Providence, and Small Press Expo in Bethesda. We also discuss All Dolled Up, an event Eric did the poster for and OK attended in an act of rebellion against attempts to ban trans women from strip clubs. As trauma and fractures rise we retreat into the comforts of the erotic arts and call for greater protections and honors for sexy pictures and sex work.
