Surprise!  We're together and recorded a BRAND NEW EPISODE!  After a good catch up and wellness check, we talk about some of our favorite back to school moments, and ooh-weeee, there are many.  From outfit choices to hazing, Walkman soundtracks to heroic parents, we cover it all.  Step on up to the table and have a sip of our fresh batch of martinis.  We're back for a hot minute and damn, we missed you.

QUEENIES! You didn’t think we’d let Pride happen without a secret episode from us, did you!? We‘re together in Sag Harbor and in this long-overdue reunion, we reminisce about Prides past and reveal a couple secrets of our coming out stories Pour yourself an Absolut Pride and Soda, and pull up a chair. We’ve missed you.

That's right Queenies, we made it to the end of another season!  Despite the pandemic and being in different locations, Aaron and Francesco have managed to keep their friendship, the Round Table, and their livers alive.  For the season finale,  Aaron blind interviews Francesco about his time interning for Saturday Night Live's 19th Season in 1993-94.  Francesco had no idea it was coming and delivered details and dish!  So pull up a director's chair, pour yourself a Long Island Iced because they're delivering all the tea about one of America's comedy institutions.

And on another note, a huge thank you to all of the listeners who have supported The Queens throughout their journey so far.   We hope everyone emerges form the quarantine unscathed and has a joyous start to the summer. We'll be back soon with a very exciting Season 3! Until then continue to stay connected to the people you love and yourself.

In this episode, Francesco blind interviews Aaron who has no idea what the topic is until it begins. Spoiler alert: The topic is a voyeuristic show that Aaron performed in during the summer of 1995 called C'est la Vie.  It took place in the windows of the Empire Hotel across from Manhattan's Lincoln Center.  The audience sat in Fountain Plaza with "radio headphones" and binoculars, peeping stories as they unfolded in the windows above them.  So strap on your headphones, Queenies, shake up a French martini, and listen in to the tale of the (in)famous C'est La Vie!

These Queens know that every day during quarantine has its ups and downs.  And Aaron has been holding on for dear life during this roller coaster ride. This week he recorded his solo podcast from his house in Sag Harbor while trying to make sense of the new normal. So put on your mask, pull up a chair (but not too close), and pickle yourself with a bleach-tini because he’s got a lot to say and it’s not clean.

Sometimes, the PLURAL NOUN of the A SHAPE Table need to let off some steam.  Especially in these ADJECTIVE days of the TYPE OF BEER Virus.  So, they took to playing some MAD LIBS about The Great COLOR Way!  Pull up a chair, sharpen your NOUN, pour a very strong NOUN-tail and get ready to use your PART OF THE BODY.

The Queens are coming undone!  On his recent 5 hour visit back to NYC, Aaron caught up with Francesco for a quick wellness check. Things start to fall apart once Alexa gets involved and shows off some her new.... skills.  Grab a Whiteclaw (cause that's all we had) and let's get gassy....

In this very special episode, Aaron puts on his best Terry Gross and interviews Francesco and their very good friend Scott Seraydarian about The Pathfinders Society, a graphic novel written by Scott and Francesco, illustrated by Steve Hamaker!  Hear stories about Scott, Francesco, and Aaron at NYU, how Scott and Francesco came up with the idea for the Pathfinders (yes, it starts with Adam Sandler's CLICK), and a story or two about a long-ago trip to Disney.  So mix up a Path-hattan and listen in.  (And don't forget to buy your very own copy of The Pathfinders Society, available April 21 everywhere!)

Let's face it, dear Queenies.  It's hard in here for a Queen.  Cooped up, too many cookies, wine to the Nth degree, and at-home workouts?  Oh, brother. So, Aaron and Francesco decided to just talk it all out.  From the passing of Nono Gorga-Giudice, the celebration of the return to New York Housewives, Gwyneth Paltrow's celebration of all things on Goop Lab, to a few laughs and sips of rose, we try our best to bring a ray of sunlight into this darkness we are all living through.  So log onto Zoom cause we don't want you near us quite yet, pour some Witch Hazel, and let's lament... and practice self-forgiveness.

That's right, for this microcast, Francesco is on his own in the Green Room and he's here to give you a quarantine tour of the room that lots of Queens magic happens in.  Of course, there's reflection on  the Housewives, talk of his wedding, Zoom therapy, and a big shoutout to his Penguin people.  Pour a Solo Shot of Sambuca, and join this nutty Italian at the quarantined table.
