Taking Care of Our Bodies, Lizza, and Drag Queens Singing (W/ Mijon Zulu, Nick Probst, Greggor Mattson, & LaWhore Vagistan (aka Kareem Khubchandani))

Whispering Huntys

And we're back! Mijon is still flying solo with queer academia, but Nick will be back next week. We are going back to school with professors from Oberlin and Tufts University who have literally been teaching the children about queer nightlife! Greggor Mattson and Kareem Khubchandani/ LaWhore Vagistan are absolute dears who help us deep-dive into RuPaul's Drag Race US Season 13 Episode 8 Social Media: The Unverified Rusical. We discuss: Did anyone actually understand Kandy’s Bald Head Brigade comment? Boiler Brigade - What is that? Tina burner messing Rosé’s head was everything. Denali is not a singer. Why on earth would she challenge Rosé to a sing-off. Anne Hathaway is bringing in so much positivity. Can she come on every season? Also, was anyone surprised when Utica had trouble rapping. Olivia went to theatre camp - no one is surprised. Tina Burner and Graham Norton! Who knew? Taxi-gate - who wore it better. Rose is wearing ORANGE. Symone head was in the wrong place. She cannot sing. So don’t try! Can we get a double save?
