    I adore this podcast. It’s become a mandatory part of watching RPDR for me and I look forward to hearing their insight after every episode. These girls are smart, witty and gorgeous. 10s across the board.

    Willam is my favorite queen/famous person I know. Her book is fantastic and this podcast is everything. My one tiny critique is Alaska always interrupting Willam. Honestly.

    LOVE that MoM is a supportive and positive place that treats their people right and is the upside down of WoW.

    I am listening to As11 E3 “Shop Til U Drop”. I left the room where my phone was with my speaker because I had to pee. From the bathroom I could hear Willam say “Hey Siri!” Then I could hear her respond. From there she got stuck in Hey Siri, Response loop until I could free her from her infinite loop. Can we get a bleep on the word Siri in future episodes? This happens every time Willam says Hey Siri which is every episode. It’s driving me crazy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Race Chaser S18 E14 “Good Morning Bitches”
Q: What did you think about using an AI-generated portrait for the Drag Race contestants?
The hosts express ambivalence and concern about authenticity, noting that audiences booed AI-generated art and suggesting that real artists deserve recognition while acknowledging the humor and spectacle AI can provide.
HOT GOSS #338 “Deep Reference Girlies, Shrekking, and Lunar Conspiracies” (w/ Luxx Noir London)
Q: What is Shrekking?
Shrekking is described as dating or being involved with a man who is very sweet and has a great personality but is not attractive; it's a modern slang riff on the character of Shrek, used to describe a guy who isn't conventionally handsome but has strong charm.
BONUS: VERY THAT - "Teenage Burglar" (MOM Plus)
Q: Kyle asks about infamous feuds within the drag community and whether there are well-known disagreements beyond performance thievery.
The hosts acknowledge that feuds do exist and are often amplified by public visibility, but they stress the importance of context and personal perspectives, noting that conflicts can be blown out of proportion when viewed without full background.
HOT GOSS #335 “Eumustowna Televsîon, Well Rested, and a Soundboard Bracket”
Q: What is your take on the Oscars fashion and the recurring talk about celebrity image versus real achievements?
They acknowledge the discomfort with the obsession over appearances while still appreciating the fashion, using it as a lens to discuss cultural narratives and public perception.
HOT GOSS #327 “Kathy Goon and Bates, Seahorses in Greenland, and PAPB Lore”
Q: What fits the criteria for pass-around designation of pass-around party bottom?
It involves maintaining a certain level of engagement and being 'passed around' at a party, which includes fulfilling partner needs, but it's also about being the life of the party.
