  • Fingerdoo Explains It All - Part 2

    Nomi & Robert are visited by our fabulous friend from the North, Miss Wilma Fingerdoo! She's here all the way from Toronto, by way of Ontario, in some place called Canada, where everything is eh-okay. Wilma loves to chat drag, movies, and all things sparkly, so it was a blast having her on to chat about The Art of Drag and the state of the industry.

    And what a beauty! Wilma's got a classic look all her own that we adore. Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s maple leaves. So we're going to stop poutine on airs and get this show on the road for a fun-filled two-part episode!

  • Completely Clueless

    Nomi Moore's sister Emily is BACK, and this time the two are going head-to-head against quiz master Robert Fisher to determine who is Completely Clueless. We're talking about our favorite 90's cult classic feel-good flick, only game-show style! Join us for some fabulous fun, some totally obscure references from the classic film, and even Robert giving us his best Chris Hardwick impression.

  • Mouse Money

    Robert's 40th Birthday is coming up, and he wants to go to Disneyland. It's a special place for both him and Nomi, but now it's a bit loaded. Rising admission prices, poor guest behavior at the parks, and Disney's general disregard for anything that doesn't fit their perceived Capitalist ideals. What's a Disney Gay to do?

    In this episode we chat a bit about corporate greed, the desire to make money over making magic, and if Disney get a free pass because they're covered in a Pixie Dust-Varnish.

  • A Troll By Any Other Name

    This one's a doozy. It's happened. They're here. It was bound to... the Trolls have come for Nomi! Wanna know what happened? Who said what? And how did Nomi eventually shut that shit down? Robert doesn't condone such behavior when it comes to dealing with Trolls, but this one needed a talking to.

    Of course, if it's not your cup of tea either, stay tuned as the discussion pretty quickly veers into a fun chat looking back on our love of the 80s and 90s film nostalgia and self-soothing binge-watching.

  • Drag Race Dish: All Stars All Winners - Part 2

    Here it is, Dolls! The show we've all been waiting for... All Stars ALL WINNERS!
    It's been more than a decade of drag in the making and now we've got the best of the best in an incredible battle to be crowned Queen of Queens!

    So... of course, Nomi & Robert have lots to say about their favorite show. Who were their top picks from the beginning? Who knocked it out of the park? And what's next for the show now that this unique format is on the table? (that Nomi suggested YEARS ago, BTW)

    This is Part Two so be sure to give a listen to Part One first to get the full round-up of our thoughts on this awesome season of Drag Race!

  • Sibling Rivalry

    We're back with Season 3! And this time we're welcoming Nomi's SIster Emily back into the US from London and Hong Kong (terrible timing, we know...)!

    Robert puts the two of them in the Hotseat and asks them some tough questions, as well as some stupid questions just for fun. Find out more about Emily and Nomi... and maybe learn more about yourself? Haha!

  • What is False Failure?

    Our 40th episode and Season Finale is such a great one!
    Nomi & Robert are joined by Kimberly Marsh from The Open Book Company!
    Kimberly is a writing coach, editor, ghostwriter and a communications fiend. Oh, and we should mention that she's NOT a New York Times bestselling author (though, she's still a worthwhile human).

    Today we're chatting about what it means to be a Creative Person on Sales Media; how to work through Impostor Syndrome, and dealing with the trapping of what Kimberly calls "False Failure".

    Let’s use this podcast episode as an example:
    Here's a question. If we get zero likes, reactions, or comments on this episode, is it a “failure”? No way! Seriously, how simple and profound is that?!

  • Bitch Slap Heard Around The World

    The News can't stop talking about it. You've been talking about it. Even your Grandma's been talking about it... WHAT happened at the Oscars this year?!
    It's been years since we've watched the show, but were both so shocked when we saw the footage ourselves of what wasn't a bit, but a full-on assault.
    What are the connotations of actions like this? What does it say about gender roles, black culture, and society as a whole when we reward people who act this way?
