What happens when you take capitalism, rage, healthcare horror, and queerness... and turn it into a musical? You get Luigi the Musical, and you get our guest Caleb Zeringue.

This week we're diving into satire, risk, and why queer artists are expected to be palatable instead of unsettling. We talk about the musical everyone's buzzing about (yes, the one about that alleged CEO murderer), the "you only talk about being gay" critique that never dies, and whether going "wide" means growth or erasure.

Also: thirst traps, bathhouses, and the eternal question — are gay friendships real or just advanced networking?

If this episode makes you laugh and feel a little uncomfortable? Perfect. That's the point.

Guest: Caleb Zeringue — stand-up comedian, co-writer of Luigi the Musical, and co-writer of a new comedy show with Jenny Zigrino debuting at Netflix is a Joke Festival this May.

🎭 Murder. Musicals. Moral panic. Let's go.
