May 01, 2023 Why Clean Beauty is a SCAM and Leaving Toxic Influencers Behind!
This week's episode of Beautiful and Bothered is all about the future of beauty! We discuss where the makeup industry is headed, including a much-needed end to toxic influencer culture and the lack of accountability from influencers like Jeffree Star, James Charles, and Jaclyn Hill. The misogynistic double standards female influencers face, the myths about "clean beauty" products, and brands focus on quality over quantity. They also discuss Johnny's traumatic experience flying with United Airlines, Patti Lupone dragging Kim Kardashian and Ryan Murthy, and Meghan Trainor's "f*ck teachers" controversy!

April 03, 2023 Drag Bans and Fighting for Equality with Drag Legend, COCO PERU!
Welcome to a powerful and enlightening conversation between Johnny Ross and drag legend, Miss Coco Peru. In this week's episode of the Beautiful and Bothered podcast, Johnny and Coco share their thoughts on why drag is being scapegoated and the dangerous consequences of such misconceptions. From ignorant and homophobic politicians to the hypocrisy of our society, they discuss how children are being used as a pawn to avoid protecting them in real ways. It's time to face the truth: the demonization of drag and transgender people is rooted in bigotry and hate, and it's time for us to hold those in power accountable for their harmful actions. Additionally, Coco speaks candidly about her own experiences growing up queer and the impact of being groomed to be straight, which affects many queer children's ability to believe in love. This is a conversation you won't want to miss, as Coco sheds light on the importance of education, acceptance, and love in the face of adversity. Get ready to be inspired and empowered by one of the most iconic figures in drag history!
