How did they survive being the meat in a triple bunk bed sandwich? Where do...

We're recovering from Dinah Shore and are re-releasing another favorite ep from the archives. This episode is everything and nothing, because that's where we always end up when discussing labels. But to us, it's actually everything because we're d*king out with the hilarious and entertaining Becca Blackwell (High Maintenance on HBO)! We talk about their gender and sexuality journey, as well as their relationship to labels throughout their life. What happens when we hold individual definitions...

It's the re-release of our 200th episode with one and only Rosie O'Donnell fulfilling the Dyking Out prophecy. Rosie has been doing press for her new show, and it's very interesting to hear her now talking about updates on a lot of the topics we touch on in this interview from a year ago!

Fresh off influencing the gravitational pull of the moon amongst a sea of queers, writer/comedian/past guest Colette McIntyre joins us to talk about a complicated trip to a different kind of magical place. One with garbage cans worth stanning. One with shirts about wanting and giving the "D." One with riddles and pins and barbershop quartets and vegan soft serve.

Maybe he knows it, maybe he doesn't, but Timothée Chalamet definitely needs comedian Rachel Kaly in his life. Rachel details her very relatable admiration of our favorite (and only) male dykon, along with a crazy wonderful story that proves we live in a simulation.

Comedian (and hopefully new bff of the pod) Sheria Mattis joins us to ask all the right questions about studs and fibroids.

If you're comedian Eman El-Husseini's therapist, DO NOT listen to this episode.

Is it okay to compete in couples therapy? How can a bulldog be ugly? Are lesbian personal trainers better? And why does Eman want people to touch her arms, but "just a little?"

Our favorite celesbian gossip queen, Liza Dye (@BettePorterGallery) takes a break from living her best Jenny Schecter life to share her thoughts on headline-making queers. From defending Cara Delevigne's public behavior, to calling out a that's-so-questionable marriage, to stanning the messiest queers . And yet, we don't get a change to dish on some of the top hot goss because we get derailed by corporate pride weirdness. But we do have time for Liza's glowing review of Love's A Pitch. Plus,...

Fresh off the release of her new podcast Welcome To Provincetown, award-winning audio documentarian Mitra Kaboli joins us to d*ke out about the town with seemingly few d*kes around! We do our best Nancy Drew impression and try to piece together why this gaycation destination centers cis gay men. For real, we want to know why aren't there lesbian orgies abound in the artsiest, most dog-friendly part of Cape Cod. Can not even the self-proclaimed Lord Of The Lesbians turn things around?
