Today’s episode is like The View, only without Megan McCain being rude to Whoopi! The Friends dive into today’s hottest topics and the conversation is fire!

Are the Oscars irrelevant in the age of Tik Tok and Drag Race?

The CDC reports many who received the first vaccine are refusing a second dose. WTF?

Is Demi Lovato a crusader for the everyday fat person or a complete lunatic?

Shaun King or Shawn King? And why should we care?

Ru Paul’s Drag Race: Did Simone deserve to win? Is LUCKY a good song? Will Rose end up on All Stars? Has Ru Paul’s music jumped the shark?

How did Scott break Lynette Romero’s tender heart!? Did Lynette accurately find Jim’s gay twin? (Answer: yes)

Also – don’t miss the Easter Egg….it might make you pee your pants from LOLing! Shout out: Crash Test Dummies!

Today’s Yummy Yummy is: Kit Kat three ways! Sparkling Wine, Sweet Potato and Lemon Crisp! We loved the lemon crisp best! (8.25/10 iced coffees) https://www.hersheyland.com/products/kit-kat-miniatures-lemon-crisp-candy-bars-9-oz-bag.html

Jim starts the episode by revealing new sponsors who have asked him to be a glamorous spokesmodel! Barker's Beauty! Jim is thrilled to FINALLY show off his expertise in the areas of pleasing women and auto repairs!

Next, Scott admits he is completely enamored with Doctor Jon’s beauty regimen. Scott literally cannot stop obsessing over Jon’s hair! Cut to episode 84 when Scott and Jon finally tie the knot! Get a room already...and can we watch?

After the break, Jon takes us to the movies and we discuss Melissa McCarthy, Thunder Force, Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Ozark and Alone. Netflix and VH1 and Hulu! Oh my! Who do you want to win Drag Race? Rose? Kandy Muse? Simone? Gottmik? Let’s dish!

Next, Scott takes us to church! Literally and figuratively! He discusses his gratitude for his siblings – new and old – and tell us about his journey back to religion. You can find Scott’s Rant & Rave here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDuyi80DZC8

Oh. We also go on a tear singing our favorite commercial jingles: David’s Bridal, Cohoes Manufacturing, Catskill Game Farm, Gaslight Village, Waterslide World, 1-800-Mattress, The Barnes Firm, Skyrizi, Ken Goey Dodge, Philomena Ageage (beeeeetch, call me!), Kars for Kids, Living Spaces, Bob’s Discount Furniture and more!

Oh! Jim got the Curb Your Enthusiasm music! Since he edits the podcast…he technically gave it to himself. It’s a meta podcast moment. Get into it!

With decades of experience as an entrepreneur, Heather also works with CEOs, creatives and other leaders to work through psychic and financial blocks.

Heather joins the Friends to discuss her recent medium work with PSL. Does PSL have a ghost in her new apartment?! Heather is here to spill the T!

We LOVE Heather and could visit with her for hours! We run the gamut of topics from spirituality and manifesting to Panda Express (and much more)!

We also talk skincare and why does Doctor Jon Paul look so young!?!? What is their secret!?

We start by bidding an overdue farewell to Costco Wholesale Club. It’s not you, it’s us….and we are 100% OK with walking the walk. Thanks, Betch!

Big News! Doctor Jon Paul was published in Ebony Magazine and we are thrilled! Congrats, Jon!

Next, Jim pulls back the veil on some top-secret man on man action in San Antonio, Texas! Key words: zaddy, twink, grindr, Truvada, Pfizer, bullrider. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? Anyways, how do you feel about hooking up during a pandemic? Hit play now to get all the T!

Then we introduce you to a brand-new segment: Sixty with Stephanie!

Also, Jon asks us about Disney’s new pickle corndog (would you eat it!?) and Christine teaches us about the historic Coney Island Incubator Baby Exhibit! Christine has a personal connection to the exhibit and – trust us – you do not want to miss this story! Shout out Fagsy Malone Automatic Pen Writer for the inspo!

Finally, which of Jim’s IRL friends has a secret Only Fans account? This is getting GOOD.

Kacey Montoya is an Emmy Award winning reporter, anchor and weather person for powerhouse station KTLA in Los Angeles, CA.  Prior to KTLA, Kacey worked in Portland, Palm Springs and West Virginia. In addition to Emmy Awards, she also has a Golden Mike award and several LA Press Club Awards.

We loved hanging with Kacey, talking about animals, fashion, Palm Springs and Texas! Come back any time, Miss Kacey!

It’s Christine’s birthday(!!!) and we celebrate with intuitive Tarot card reader and witchy mommy Sutton Crawford! Sutton dabbled with Magick and the Magickal Arts as a child and has served as a Tarot reader, Witch and Magickal Practitioner ever since. She is a self-proclaimed crystal hoarder (reason 412 we love her!). Want to hear about Christine’s magickal birthday tarot session with Sutton? Hit ‘play’ now for an insightful and empowering conversation!

After the break, Jon ponders whether Prince William is the sexiest bald man alive. Or is it Stanley Tucci? Boris Kodjoe? Shemar Moore? Does penis size or muscles or royalty make you sexier? Please message us on Instagram and let us know who you think is the sexiest baldy! Bonus points if you pick Jim, of course!

Next, Scott shares his fave Magic(k) Moment with us…and it is a very sweet story about his fiancée, Marsha.  Jim’s fave moments include his life coaching clients. Christine’s fave involves cruise ships. And we are obsessed with Ross Mathews’ fascination with meat lovers pizza! What are your Magic Moments?

By the way, if you love taking cruise vacations, there is a segment in this show that you will EAT UP. Sop it up with a biscuit, bitches! A biscuit that you procure at the Lido Deck Breakfast Buffet, of course…

This episode is brought to you by Bitch Poppers by Del Taco. IYKYK.

We feel so FORTUNATE to have two of the best in the news biz join us for this important discussion!

Sara Sanchez anchors for NBC Palm Springs. Sara moved to the Coachella Valley from Billings, Montana where she was integral to the launch of Wake Up Montana. When not serving as the News Director for Straight Talk with Ross Mathews(!!) Sara is a mother and wife and Jim’s newest Palm Springs girlfriend!

Lynette Romero anchors the #1 rated KTLA weekend morning news in Los Angeles. Prior to KTLA, she spent a decade reporting in Denver and also spent time in Austin.  She has been awarded multiple Golden Mike and Emmy Awards for her work. She is a staunch community activist, a wellness coach, caregiver to a parent, mom and wife. Oh, and a National Treasure!

Lynette, Sara and the Friends discuss how news reporting and consumption has changed in the last decade. Additionally, what impact has the ‘choose your news’ culture had on our personal beliefs, mental health, ability to relate to others and more? Why are we so obsessed with the criminal and not the victim? Why do we demand our news instantly? AND – how much is under the news producer’s control? Press ’play’ to learn more!

We are so thankful to Lynette and Sara for this frank and insightful conversation! We ADORE and respect these women in and out of the workplace! Thank you. Thank you. Thank You!

Christine tells us about her recent visit to the OB-GYN. Ladies, do you like your Gyno? What about those stirrups? Well, Christine’s new doctor has taken all the guess work out of stirrups and Christine LIKES IT.

Next, Scott reminds us of our innate ability to manifest outcomes. Thank you, Scott! We all needed a reminder of just how powerful we are. Stand in your fierceness, friends!
