Vincent "Chore Coat" Van Gogh Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

CBC is in Chicago on 2/27! Get your tickets here.

Yooo, who wants to drink some turpentine under a starry night with me? This week we hunkered down in the studio and read OG struggling artist Vincent Van Gogh's book, "The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh." Stretch your canvas as we discuss glamorizing peasants, immersive exhibits, eating overcooked quail, wholesale paint brushes, his dope Dutch sister-in-law Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger, the nostalgia of drawing, and brothels. Plus, we try to get to the bottom of what really went down in Brittany with Gauguin???

Mary Louise "Brunette on the Verge of a Breakdown" Parker Feb 05, 2025

Show notes

Dear Mr. Club Kid, you're the one in the corner of the coffee shop listening to my podcast with no headphones on because you don’t give a f**k, who orders a black coffee and drinks it all day while writing in a red notebook with a pen that hardly works... Umm sorry, we got carried away. This week we dive into acclaimed actress Mary Louise Parker’s semi-autobiographical book of letters, "Dear Mr. You." We discuss the longing for strangers, retro Coke, getting railed in the East Village, the erotic loss of the father, wearing opera gloves to breakfast, and analyze why she isn’t a hag. Light up, Moms!

See us live in Chicago on 2/27! Tix here.

Ewok, don't run to this endor-able episode. Help us iHeartPodcasts, you're our only hope!

This book may be triple spaced but it’s actually an important text that looks into the prison industrial complex, fame, class, B-movies, marrying into money, Morocco, and what it’s like to be raised a lesbian Naval officer.

"The Bible" Part 2 feat. Cat Cohen (RE-RELEASE) Jan 01, 2025

Show notes

Heyeth, best friends in Christ! The Lord hath sent us His Most Fabulous Messenger—Catherine Cohen of the village of Houston—to discuss His “Second Testament,” aka The New Testament, aka Season 2 of the Holy Bible. From weeping for thine Jewish friends who will burn in the fires of Hell to why Jesus resembleth a member of Fleet Foxes, the divine sex workers of Nazareth, Jesus having only child syndrome, TEDxBethlehem, and addressing if the Virgin Mary was a liar (yes). This is the Book of All Books, The Lastest of all Suppers. Come break unleavened bread and Slay In The Name of All That Is Holy. Amen.

"The Bible" Part 1 feat. Ben Mora (RE-RELEASE) Dec 25, 2024

Show notes

Get on your knees, ladies! Toxic gay Twitter frenemy Ben Mora joins our favorite Massholes for the world’s biggest celebrity—God—and his 1300 B.C. bestseller, The Bible. From everyone on the pod having COVID (God’s work) to which Bible characters are non-binary, Nazareth’s circumcision obsession, Noah’s red carpet, Lily and Ben’s Unitarian Universalist pasts, and why God is a JAP—this is a journey of biblical proportions. Amen, brother.
