Twin Spin

All three of us got laid off this year. So for the Season 3 finale of Twin Spin, we left the studio, poured some shots, and got real about it.We are joined by our friend of three years, Stuart, to talk about the “loveliness” that is unemployment. We cover the most frustrating parts of today’s job market: instant AI rejections, ghost jobs, six-round interviews, case studies that feel like free labor, and more.And because it’s a season finale, there are three shots, a round of Adrian or Andrew, and some drag names shared along the way.If you’re in the middle of a job search right now, this one’s for you. Keep going. KEEP UP WITH STU:

What if the goal isn't to get out of your comfort zone, but to make it bigger?

This week on Twin Spin, we sit down with comedian, actor, and movement artist Sonal Aggarwal. She shares how a motorcycle accident in India brought her back to the States and into stand-up comedy, and why gratitude matters most when things fall apart. She also tells us about "the bomb of 2018" and what a water massage in a lagoon taught her about expanding your comfort zone. Plus: her spiciest hot take (it's about actual spice), our dad's journey to showing up for his queer sons, and a round of Adrian or Andrew that gets a little too real.

About Sonal:

Sonal is a dynamic and uplifting performer. Leaving the world of firedancing for the stability of stand up comedy, she is now making audiences laugh all over the world. Based in Chicago, she is a comedian, actor and movement artist. Her one woman show The Alchemy of Bliss played for a sold out weekend at The Steppenwolf Theater.

Publicist and media strategist Tony Morrison joins the Nuño Twins for an episode that moves fast between laughs and real talk. After a rapid-fire round covering everything from red wine headaches to villain origin stories, Tony opens up about the worst advice he ever received as a young producer at Good Morning America — and how rejecting it became the reason he now runs his own talent and PR agency. He also shares the piece of wisdom his grandmother, who lived to 103, gave him as a teenager learning guitar in a church choir. It's advice that ended up shaping everything from his creative career to his decision to leave a decade in corporate media and nonprofit work at GLAAD to build something entirely his own.

Along the way: a $1,200 impulse-buy MacBook story and the only guest so far to answer an "Adrian or Andrew" question with "both."BE SURE TO KEEP UP WITH US:Website: https://www.nunotwins.coAdrian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adrianthenunotwinAndrew's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewthenunotwin

We grew up in a traditional Mexican household where feelings got put in a mason jar, the lid got screwed on, and the jar got locked in a closet. Don't be depressed, be something else. That was the message.In this episode of Twin Spin, we open up about what it actually took to unlearn that: the first therapist who meant well but couldn't relate, the years of thinking sensitivity was a curse instead of a strength, and the moment a therapist asked one simple question that stopped Adrian cold: "What's so bad about a sad day?"We talk about repression in minority households, why bottling it up doesn't make you strong, and how sitting with the low moments is actually what makes the good ones hit harder. Then we lighten things up in the Hot Seat with guilty pleasures, small daily joys, and the movie scenes that get us every single time (yes, Coco is involved).If you've ever been told to "turn it off" — this one's for you.BE SURE TO KEEP UP WITH US:Website: https://www.nunotwins.coAdrian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adrianthenunotwinAndrew's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewthenunotwin

On this episode of Twin Spin, the Nuño Twins sit down with Don Coates to unpack a story of total reinvention. Don walks us through losing an acting career to the 2020 pandemic, landing a corporate job with zero relevant experience by simply saying "hire me for three months and see," and the humbling moment he had to admit out loud that his own business was failing — and what he did next (hint: it involves fried bananas and a very bold outfit choice).We also get into the uphill, rewarding chaos of running a business while working a 9-to-5, the concept of extreme ownership, and why Don didn't really form close friendships until his mid-twenties after a childhood of constantly moving. Grab a seat — this one's honest, funny, and full of perspective.KEEP UP WITH DON:https://www.instagram.com/doncoates/ BE SURE TO KEEP UP WITH US:Website: https://www.nunotwins.coAdrian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adrianthenunotwinAndrew's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewthenunotwin

This Pride Month, Twin Spin gets personal.

In one of our most meaningful episodes yet, Adrian and Andrew open up about their own long road to coming out and then pass the mic to three incredible guests who share their own stories of self-discovery, chosen family, and what it really means to live authentically.

Joining us this episode are Pedro Guerrero, Paige Shano, and Zia Varajon — three queer voices with three very different journeys.

Together we talk about coming out across cultures and generations, the intersection of religion and queerness, what Pride Month really means right now, and what we'd all tell our younger selves if we could.

This one's for everyone who's ever been afraid to take up space. We see you.

Pedro Guerrero is a Lima, Peru-born, Chicago-based creative who builds spaces where people feel seen, celebrated, and connected through art, culture, and collective joy. He uses music, movement, storytelling, and community-building to honor Latino and queer identities and believes that joy is not a luxury, it's a form of resilience and resistance.

Paige is an autistic and genderqueer artist, hairstylist, and intuitive tarot reader. As a queer and trans affirming hairstylist, Paige finds joy in working within their community to bring out authentic and confident energy from those they work with. They are dedicated to sharing resources, exploring curiosity, and helping others find their playful side.

Zia Varajon is a Chicago-based trans performer and the author of Love, Your Trans Big Sister: Advice on the Transfeminine Journey. Her work centers authenticity with a playful edge. With a background in music, modeling, and drag, she's built a voice that's bold and rooted in a colorful lived experience — on stage and on the page.

Twin Spin is back for Season 3 — and we're starting exactly where we need to: by slowing down.

In this episode, Adrian and Andrew reflect on everything that's shifted since Season 2 wrapped: a new apartment, a new decade on the horizon, and a loss in the family that served as a quiet reminder that nothing is guaranteed. Out of all of it came one idea that kept rising to the surface: you have to slow down in order to speed up.

We talk about what it actually looks like to unplug, not as a productivity hack, but as a way of remembering what matters. Morning walks without your phone. Waking up to birds instead of notifications. Sitting by the lake and letting life just be life for a minute.

We also get into quality over quantity: in your creative output, your commitments, and who gets access to your time and energy. And we close out with a brand new segment, Spin the Hot Seat, where our producer Raj throws questions at us we've never seen before: the songs that make us feel unstoppable, our guiltiest TV pleasures, dream trips we haven't taken yet, and the moments we're most proud of.

Season 3 is about showing up with more intention. This is the episode that sets that tone.BE SURE TO KEEP UP WITH US:Website: https://www.nunotwins.coAdrian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adrianthenunotwinAndrew's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewthenunotwinFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/thenunotwins TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nunotwins
