Happy New Year!

It’s finally here! Drag Race Season 13 has begun! And what a beginning it was it. This week, we catch with friend of pod, Powerhouse Dutch host, DJ, presenter GJ Kooijman and this only means two things: TEA and SHADE.

We discuss: Envy Peru wearing that Claes Iverson dress to the reunion! Crowning the Dutch Miss Congeniality. The insanity of Gays Over Covid. Trinity the Tuck and Shangela. Frontline workers. Kandy Muse. Lala Ri’s outfit. Entrance Looks. Tamisha Man. Elliot’s Botox. GottMik and the merchandising. Drag Race and Big Brother. Nick’s Tina Burner relationship with Rosé

About our guest:

GJ Kooijman is part of DJ-duo The Heartbreaks, an event producer, and one of the hosts of Pruikentijd (Wigtime), the definitive Dutch language Drag Race Podcast as well as Ding-a-Dong Cast a Eurovision podcast. Pruikentijd correctly predicted the cast and hosts of Drag Race Holland before the show even started taping and have had exclusive exit interviews with each queen! They also hosted the reunion. As a host for OUTtv Europe, GJ’s worked with over 30 Ru Girls over the last few years and he's also been to the Drag Race Season 10 finale, where he witnessed the butterfly incident live!

Ho, Ho, Ho, You Huntys!

Christmas finally came, Mama Ru is having twins, and we are so ready for a new season.

We took the week off, but we made sure to make a new episode just for you! This week, we talk to the host and the producer of Queer In Love Podcast, Diego Amado and Stephen Barker.

We discuss: Snackable podcasting. Old maids in queer love. Are long-term relationships only possible in the Mid-West? The reckoning that happened in the Chicago drag scene this summer, which addressed the inequalities of where queens - especially black drag queens - perform. Protests in Boystown / Queertown / Northhalstead. The Vixen. Black Girl Magic. Shea Coulee. What these Chicagoan queers know about the queens of Drag Race Season 13 - especially Rosé because both Nick and Stephen went to college with her!

Then, we dive back into Drag Race Season 1 Episode 4 Mac Viva-Glam Challenge.

We discuss: How Jade was robbed. Rupaul’s Drag Race Under the Hood. Is Rebecca Glasscock serious about drag? Shannel’s Ted Talk. Spoiler Alert: Bebe Zahara Benet Wins. Oops!

About our guests:

Queer in Love is a podcast that explores queer relationships from a queer lens, hosted by Diego Amado. Each episode he talks to queers to learn about how queer life and queer love thrive, but also how queer love and queer life are impacted by popular culture, spirituality, race, family, the state, all those forces that shape our experiences as queer people across the spectrum of gender and sexuality.

Stephen is a Marketing and Communications Director for a human services nonprofit organization in Chicago. He's an artist, graphic designer, writer, and podcast producer. Originally from Wichita Kansas, Stephen has called Chicago home for the past 12 years. Even though he rewatched every season of Drag Race during quarantine, Stephen can't remember any of the contestants' names or identifying characteristics because he's a dumb b*tch.

Diego has been a dancer, high school teacher, museum curator's assistant, performance artist (briefly), and now behavioral scientist, bouncing around from coast to coast to the midwest, back, and back again. He’s a doctor, but not THAT kind of doctor. He’s a researcher and a gentleman who shares two of Jujubee’s three passions (please note: he has been a vegetarian for 15 years, so you know exactly what those passions are *ding*.

You can find In Yo MOuth wherever you get your podcast fix.

Muñoz recently released not one but two Holiday gift guides celebrating Small, LGBTQ, and/or POC owned businesses.

This week, we found our Irish twins. James and Cian of Sissy That Pod to talk about this year's drag race, marriage equality, and drag goddess Panti Bliss, who is the center of the 2015 documentary Queen of Ireland.

The Queen of Ireland is a 2015 Irish documentary film directed by Conor Horgan. It focuses on Rory O'Neill, better known as Panti, in the lead up to the historic referendum on marriage equality for same-sex couples in Ireland. When the film debuted in Ireland, it had the highest ever grossing opening weekend for an Irish documentary.

About our guests:

James is an LGBT Activist and Drag Race fanatic living in Dublin Ireland. He can be found ranting about the trials and tribulations of growing up gay in modern Ireland on his fortnightly podcast The Big Gay Bucket List or discussing all things drag race with a range of queens and similarly obsessed fans on his Drag Race aftershow Sissy That Pod.

Cian hosts a local Dublin LGBTQ radio show where he can combine his passion for music with topical discussions on LGBTQ news, arts and culture. Coming from an engineering background Cian brings an analytical edge to Sissy That Pod with an interest in stats and data.

Drag Race is doing a Mama Ru, but we are going to continue!

This week, we look at, the unofficial sequel to Paris Is Burning, How Do I Look? Who knew there was more to the story!?

How Do I Look began filming in the wake of accusations that the filmmaker behind Paris Is Burning had exploited members of the Ballroom community during the making of that film. The accused exploitation was the inspiration for How Do I Look, said co-assistant director Kevin Omni. In the years since How Do I Look was released, the documentary has been mentioned by many as providing balance to and/or a follow-up or sequel of Paris Is Burning.

Dear Huntys!

While we have no idea how the election will turn out, we are delivering you our weekly episode so that you have a pleasant distraction while you wait for results. Again this week, we are gagged for questionable reasons and we go in deep!

Thankfully, we have GJ Kooijman and Nutella Versace to help spill all the tea from behind the scenes!

About our guests!

Nutella is a delicious bitch! Italian-Dutch society lady that travels all over the world. Nobody knows exactly how she arrived to stardom, vicious rumors say she started out acting in Italian porn movies during the 90’s but no evidence is found. She is the ambassador of Amsterdam Gay Men’s Chorus. She loves to give back to the community by hosting fundraisers or just plain bingo. Since Miss Corona, Nutella started her own youtube channel reviewing Drag Race Holland where she posts The Drive Thru Review!

GJ Kooijman is part of DJ-duo The Heartbreaks, an event producer and one of the hosts of Pruikentijd (Wigtime), the Dutch Drag Race Podcast. They correctly predicted the cast and host before the show even started taping and have had exclusive exit interviews with each queen! Literally, this is the Dutch What’s the Tea!

As a host for OUTtv Europe, he's worked with over 30 Ru Girls over the last few years and he's also been to the Drag Race Season 10 finale, where he witnessed the butterfly incident live! Next to that, GJ is the creative producer for True Colors (the largest LBGT fundraiser in the Netherlands) and a producer for Pride Amsterdam.

Questions and Issues Addressed

The wig-o-try of last week. The Buttery Finale and Asia O”hara. Wigtime the definitive Dutch Drag Race podcast. What Drag Queens think about being on the show. What was up with the puppet’s skin tones? What really happened during the fit between Sederginne and Abby! Why the lip syncs have been so tough. Why were there no sewing challenges. The Top 4? Should there be a top 4? A top 2? Who should win? Envy Peru’s acting chops!
