    Covid-19 quarantine and isolation has its pros and cons. Parler providing a solution to loneliness that makes it easy to be a racist? CON. Forcing healthcare to get more digital? PRO.

    Topics: consent, financial freedom, racism in food, lactose intolerance, Harry Potter, cereal, gelatin, Biscotti
    It’s time for a break from everything we usually do because this work is fucking bonkers. Katharine and Jo laugh off an early misunderstanding and take time to get to know each other a little better. More than 10 years of friendship doesn’t mean there are no mysteries left.

  • Episode 10: Trauma
    Topics: salaries and money shame, body policing, diversity hires, privilege, celebrating the mundane, disability
    WE MADE IT TO EPISODE TEN! and so did you. After forgetting to record the first time around, Katharine and Jo nailed it this time. Talking about trauma comes easy for queers and these two prove that. Ranting about money-shame and their frustrations with stifled self-expression, this duo find a way to bully themselves into laughter. Stick around to figure out if you’re sad or if you’re SAD-sad.

  • Episode 09: Eat the Rich
    Topics: transness, pregnancy, trans athletes, death penalty, billionaires, out-conservative-ing conservatives, landlords, UHauling
    Jo gets mad (SHOCKER) and tries to reason through whether or not she’s living through hell. Katharine shows that it’s possible to talk to breeders about the tough topics and come out unscathed. They’re barely getting through, but they’re alive… It’s been a wild and weird 2020. Wrap it up with two queer scumbags!
    1 hr 4 min
  • Episode 08: AIDS/HIV
    Topics: The Happiest Season, Elliot Page, tokenization, fetishization, commodification, adoption, AIDS, HIV, blood donation
    Katharine and Jo try to figure out where the line is between being in the club and being out of the club. Jo finds a new tagline that she wants branded on her skin and Katharine loses control of her face. Then they realize that it’s not fear of queer people that cause people to be cruel; it’s hatred. Listen in to the fuckery and learn something.

  • Episode 07: Vegan
    Topics: drinking games, horizontal hostility, abortion, evangelism, Halloween vs. Christmas, community chores
    Do you wanna be them? or be with them? Katharine (weathering the New York cacophony) and Jo (still pretending she’s not congested) find ways to avoid the urge to merge. Somehow holidays and children are the flavors of the day.

  • Episode 06: Intersex
    Topics: intersex, Black Lives Matter, appropriation, therapy, community, bodily autonomy
    Engaging with their whiteness, Katharine and Jo try to understand the trajectory of the Supreme Court and racism in the country. Jo denies the fact that she’s congested while Katharine cuddles her cat, Biscotti, while she grooms. Listen in to hear two millennials dream of home-ownership.

    Topics: love languages, queer tropes, birthdays, queer rites of passage, gayness in public, coming out
    Katharine reflects on finishing out her 20s from her mattress-pad-fort in the middle of her Garden of Fucks. Jo sits in her squeaky chair to reminisce about their long-distance, long-term friendship. Sometimes, you just gotta love your friends where they are. Full homo. 100% mushy. 200% gushy.
    55 min
  • Episode 04: Period Care, Porn, and Pussy
    Topics: white feminism, hate crimes, inclusivity, blue moons, safer sex
    Katharine and Jo have different tastes in almost everything, but they match where it matters. Tired of seeing performative change? Can't help but laugh to stop from screaming when you see it? SAME. Lay down with some snacks and let's get through it together.
    54 min
  • Coming Out Minisode
    Topics: our coming out stories!
    Not everybody has to and not everybody can, but Katharine and Jo came out of their closets. Jo did it the way she does everything: AGGRESSIVELY. Katharine did it all wearing pearls. Of course.
