Even space travelers dream of traveling, and after two flights apart, commanders G + E have a lot to say.  We chat about that one time Em was in a free-falling plane, that other time Gem confronted gypsies, the disguise of modern day colonialism, the joy of streaking, and why all roads do, in fact, lead to Rome.

This is the Conga Queen like you have NEVER heard her before. We invite the Pocket Popstar to our cockpit to spill the tea (and wine…and scotch…) and play truth or drink. She sets the record straight on her beef with J.Lo, calls Gem out for not knowing her songs, reveals her celebrity crush, and announces her next big project. No drop of any kind was spared. 

Featuring: Gloria Estefan
