LaLa Ri
If you like DRA-ma, we have quite the episode for you today with LaLa Ri! LaLa is a dancer, performer and *former* drag queen who was on RuPaul's Drag Race season 13 and Drag Race All Stars season eight, and the *former* part is where it gets interesting. A mere 24 hours before sitting down with LaLa, he announced his retirement from drag, so we *have* to delve into that. What it means to no longer practice the art that brought you notoriety, the disorienting nature of fame, and also being in a long distance relaysh with someone in... Pittsburgh?!? And so much more, including Andy making 900 references to 1980s pop stars! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!

Tamberla Perry
We were fans of Tamberla's from such shows as The Good Fight and Bosch and of course, she was in our favorite film of 2023, They Cloned Tyrone, so we were psyched to sit down with her while she was on a whirlwind press tour for her new show Brilliant Minds on NBC/Peacock (along with a certain Ms. Naomi's show St. Denis Medical!), and buddy, do we get into it! Tamberla and her husband have been together for a long, long time, and we find out the story of how they went from friends to lovers against the backdrop of the Chicago theater scene and how a, uh, let's say, "stalker-type" individual inserted himself in the burgeoning relaysh... and MUCH, MUCH MORE!
