Kaley and Larissa discuss Kaley’s nightmarish experience doing drag in a conservative night club, Larissa plugs the show traveling drag makeover show, We’re Here, and Larissa decides they would prefer to be a Queen. They read listener write-ins about dating red flags, and they fantasize about which archetype of Queer they would be if they could choose (Larissa wants to be a nonchalant athlete, if you even care.) They get into gay pop-culture of the week, focusing on Pornhub Sapphic, Fightmaster’s debut album, Tolerance, and the Towa Bird/Katy O’Brian music video. They end the episode with the game, "Two Truths and a Lie," as well as "Two Lies and a Truth" because Kaley messed up.
