Jackson "Cat Daddy" Galaxy Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

Paws up, club kids! Sharpen your claws and get out the wet food, we're chasing mice with Jackson Galaxy—star of Animal Planet's "My Cat From Hell"—and his furry folk odyssey "Cat Daddy: What the World's Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and Coming Clean." From the Boulder music scene to feline abortion, how to not anthropomorphize your cat, guardians not owners, not getting hired due to white dreads, and all our childhood kitty memories, this is one purrfect trip to the pound. Meow!

Plus! In the VIP Lounge this Friday—Lily finally breaks her silence about Harrisburg's lesbian scene and Steven has a showdown with a butch customs agent at the Canadian border.

TGIF, ladies! No tenderqueer is spared in Steven's blow-by-blow review of the new, very expensive haute quisine restaurant HAGS.

Andy “Corner Bistro” Cohen Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

It's the Baron of Bravo, the King of the Housewives, the Warden of the West Village— Andy Cohen!— and his delirious memoir "The Andy Cohen Diaries: A Deep Look at a Shallow Year." Travel back to 2013/2014 as the inventor of women recounts in painstaking detail every boozy brunch with Kelly Ripa, stays single, loses weight, lives for activations, dishes about Theresa Caputo and Kathy Griffin, and provides an historically significant account of gay male life in the 21st century.

Plus! In the VIP Lounge out this Friday, Steven attends "queer fine dining restaurant" HAGS and the results will probably not shock you. Hear the dirty details at http://patreon.com/cbcthepod

Nora “Cuisinart Class” Ephron Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

I’ll have what she’s having! Tuck into your favorite Jewish deli with our most iconic New York writeuse, Nora Ephron, and her poignant treatise on aging, “I Feel Bad About My Neck.” From face creams to facing death, the invention of the studiously unfussy dinner party, Rosie O’s happy meal toy collection, and how the simultaneous introduction of Julia Child and birth control changed the world—this is a touching tribute to the neurotic white woman who lives inside us all.

AND! In the VIP Lounge this Friday, one of our most packed episodes ever—Fashion Week, Eckhaus Latta, Kelly Bensimon, Orville Peck, Oxomoco, Japanese Italian Omakase, lesbian country star Lily Rose—it’s bursting! Get the tea at http://patreon.com/cbcthepod

Shannon “Skinemax” Tweed Feb 15, 2023

Show notes

Calling all bunnies! It’s Canadian Playboy model, softcore pornstar & wife of KISS frontman Gene Simmons—Shannon Tweed—and her sultry “Kiss & Tell.” From growing up on a mink farm in Dildo, Newfoundland (look it up) to becoming Hugh Hefner’s primary partner, this is one turbo-charged trip to tittie-town. AND! For the first time in CBC history, Steven’s iconic cousin Monica calls into the pod to share her own wild stories of partying at the Playboy mansion. Yes, there are monkey cages.

PLUS! In a very tasty VIP Lounge this Friday— viral pizza, breakup ramen, and an LES French hole-in-the-wall. Devour it all at http://patreon.com/cbcthepod

Barbra “Actual Gay Son” Streisand Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

Mama, can you hear me? Say hello, dolly to the OG funny girl— it’s Babs!—and her coffee table book/renovation diary “My Passion For Design.” The siren of stage and screen has compiled a bewildering tome chronicling the painstaking construction of her Malibu Dream Home, including its period-accurate Mill House with antique water wheel, sumptuous screening room, koi pond (with no orange fish), and yes, her infamous underground mall. From Tiffany lamps to Thomas Kinkaide, pocket doors to pocketbooks, we leave no pillow unfluffed. Legends only!

PLUS! In the VIP Lounge this Friday— we review the Meet The Breeds dog show, Lily takes another tumble, and the scam of truffles.

“Prince Harry” Part 2 Feb 01, 2023

Show notes

Fancy a cuppa? It’s part two of our explosive investigation into Prince Harry’s “Spare”— and the tea is piping, innit. From Meghan’s sad dad to Harry’s Botswana tattoo, why Eat Pray Love makes you cultured, the Nazi costume, getting HIV tested with Rihanna, murdering the Taliban, not sitting with your partner at a wedding, and Meghan and Kate’s nuclear cat fight—this is a scorching tale of blood, patriotism, and gastropubs.

PLUS! In the VIP Lounge this Friday—Lily quizzes Steven on the British monarchy, a review of British hotspot Lord’s, and an open call for a queer circus.

“Prince Harry” Part 1 Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

You know the story. You’ve seen the headlines. Now hear the very first episode in our groundbreaking two-part series on the most explosive book of the year—Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex—and his shocking tell-all “Spare.” From Frogmore to Balmoral, Meghan’s traumatized puppers to Meghan pretending not to know who Diana is, their first date at Soho House, is Harry the Kourtney?, poverty cosplay at TK Maxx, and tripping on shrooms in Courtney Cox’s house—this is just the tip of the royal iceberg. God Save The Ginger.

PLUS! In the VIP Lounge this Friday— the gals rub elbows with a host of celebrities at a party for [redacted], including [redacted] and [redacted] (who are dating!) You’ll only know if you subscribe at http://patreon.com/cbcthepod

Jenny “Tiny Little Mouse” Slate Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

Crank the twee-meter up to Wes Anderson—we’re playing house with Cobble Hill’s eensiest weensiest comedienne, Jenny Slate, and her absurdist memoir “Little Weirds.” Magical realism meets Freshman year personal essay in this Dickinsonian teacup of cuteness, as the self-described “rabbit” unloads her colonial Massachusetts sexual anxieties and processes Trump’s election via poetic non-fiction about being small. From quiet trips to Scandinavia to being afraid to order wine, this ep will have you shushing every femme in the library. Squeak!

PLUS! In the VIP Lounge this Friday—commemorative White House ornaments, lesbian tarot card readers, and a plot twist on Nantucket. Subscribe at http://patreon.com/cbcthepod

Jackie “Toxic Black Belt” Chan Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

Kung who? Pour one out for the original Drunken Master—global action superstar Jackie Chan—and his high-flying 2015 memoir “Never Grow Up.” From his childhood class dysphoria to becoming the most toxic millionaire in Hong Kong, buying watches for all your boys, cheating on your wife, why Mao was a narcissist, shitting on set, Communist Party propaganda, and Lily’s tween foray into karate—this one’s gonna hurt.

PLUS! In the VIP Lounge this Friday—2023 predictions, Zero Dark Thirty, and a hot new Williamsburg restaurant earns Steven’s coveted “This Restaurant Should Not Exist” Award. Subscribe at http://patreon.com/cbcthepod
