Perfectomorphs!

OUR coconuts. You will put them in your mouth: right now, right now. (Right now, right now.) Thot Topics Queens are Thot Topics Fiends-- and Thot Topics fiends get the greens. It's payout time-- we're BACK after an accidental two-week long break! Cris was out of town for a while so naturally we have a LOT of girly catching up to do. So don't expect any actual topics until about an hour in. LOOSELY, we discuss every gay guy's favorite day of the year: Spotify Wrapped Day! We look back on a pretty...

Methhead Actors! (feat. River Page)

The girls are BACK after a brief Nick's Birthday sabbatical and we FINALLY address the rumors... YES we are female hackers. YES it is both dangerous and rewarding. YES we wear a tight fitting turtleneck that creates a uniboob. WE EXIST!!!! This week, we're joined by return guest RIVER PAGE (@river_is_nice) to discuss the news of the moment, and of some moments we missed. First, we finally review Blue Bannisters and wind up shitting on it way more than we expected to. Then: are we embarrassed to ...

Sohcahtore It!

We're Billy RePorters and we're hot (or at least a 7) on the scene of the crime! This week, we dig through their trash heap of a Twitter timeline to find something-- literally ANYTHING-- to talk about. We fuck around for a while first, and in the grand Thot Topics tradition just wind up talking about food and snacks for a good 20 minutes-- topics this week include the BRAT diet, the Mexican BRAT diet, and our favorite candies. Then it's down to business. We try our very best to defend the math t...

Verynormal Cracktivity!

What's up you fuckin' stupid alien? Pop a squat with us and crack open a fresh copy of the Bitchkiker's Guide to the Galaxy-- there's much to explore, and SO little time... This week, the girls get a little sidetracked talking about their personal journeys as their dreaded first-ever mid-twenties birthday approaches. What's acceptable to do in your twenties that must now be left behind? Is "weight loss" an elaborate lie constructed by deluded skinny people with genetics on their side? But then i...

The Dick, The S**t, and the Wardrobe!

In perhaps our most Cronenbergian episode of all time, we do a little bit of body-ody-ody horror as a treat. In an extravaganza of all things fecal, urinal, and genital, we skinny dip in the wet primordial ooze of human experience wearing nothing but a white crop top-- and emerge, nipples protruding. This week, we talk about Meghan Trainor taking a shit adjacent to her husband-- and do an exposé on our own horror about bodily functions. What's the most compromising position it's OK for your part...

Top 10 Gay Little Monkey Moments!

All aboard the Witness Wagon, and buckle up tight, cuz it's gonna be a BUMP-y ride... It was a slow news week so the girls usher in October with a little bit of sisterly competition-- a definitive tier ranking of the female pop albums of the 2010's. This is our bread and fucking butter right here, so you DON'T want to miss it. We rank the girls of yesteryear based on quality, impact, and the Thot Topics "it" factor: namely, whether or not we can confidently say they "tore." Patrons have access t...

Rona Reloaded!

We're in the HIV Lane, we're in the HIV Lane, and YOU! Y-Y-YOU! Y-Y-YOU! SOUL TRAIN! In a classic men-in-women's-business bonanza, the girls take a thrilling deep dive into fashion, fascists, and faggots! We review some of the looks from the Met Gala and wonder if next year should be the Het Gala so Dan Levy can't come; Nicki Minaj's fated run-in with the deep state and the heinous liberal media; and Lil Nas X's surprisingly OK debut album. Follow the girls on Twitter @VLRTUALBOY and @YOURE2BASI...

Peekaboo, ICU!

We require the clues, Steven… Deliver us the clues so we may feed… Well girls, it’s just ME and YOU and MY DOG BLUE as we traverse the rocky terrain of culture once again. This week, we cover the new Lana track “Arcadia” and wonder if she is seeing everybody she knows as a car— plus give our thoughts on the Blue Banisters era overall. Then, we talk the Troye Sivan cum-back single “Angel Baby,” and try desperately to think of who might enjoy it. But that’s not all— we invite the OG Steve from Blu...

RuPaul's Girl Race!

I'm not a girl... not yet a drag queen... This week, we convene for an international crisis panel to address the troubling military occupation in the middle east-- and after much consideration, we've decided to TaliSTAN! With that settled, we dive into much more pressing issues affecting underserved populations: the new Lizzo and Cardi B song, Lorde's comeback album Solar Power, and Hasan Piker's $3 million dollar house. But wait! There's soooo much more. We take on the OnlyFans porn ban and dra...

Bring Your Child to Steamworks Day! (feat. Rare Candy)

The planet's getting hotter and hotter, sexy and hotter, let's shut it down!

We discuss Tan France's new baby and whether or not there needs to be a mom; the UN's climate change red alert and being haunted by your litter like in the Campbell's soup commercial; and lastly, a crash course in hyperpop as Charli XCX warns of its...

You know you love us... XOXO, The Thot Topics Girls... Peppa who? Pig girl. We're back with a vengeance to review the dreaded Gossip Girl reboot, and it's a boot indeed. We answer all the burning questions: Can you make a good TV drama that revolves around iPhones? Is this literally just The Shade Room? Is it actually better to cast horny teens that are actually teens? ALL is revealed. Plus, we illegally enter the White House rose garden to confront Olivia Rodrigo over her "collab" with Joe Bide...

We come to you in radical faith to spread His word. Amen, baby. The Thot Topics e-lounge was starting to collect dust so we decided to shake out the curtains and let in the LIGHT, better known as beloved Twitter gay and friend of the pod MYLES for an excruciatingly thorough girls chat of Byzantine proportions. First, we unpa...

Is This Seat Theyken?

Oh fuck!! I just spilled genderfluid all over the IKEA loveseat! Sure would be a shame if someone were to... soak it up... with THEIR big ass... We took a little break, but now it's back to us. The docket is long. The docket is thick. The docket will not be important in three days. GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT. After a riveting discussion of our teenage employment histories, we launch into the nitty-gritty: first, the IKEA pride couches. Which one would be the most comfortable for a nap? Which niche ge...

Ace and Based!

What's black and brown and intersex all over? Wait, I think I fucked that up... In one of the sweatiest episodes of all time, the girls return after a weeklong sabbatical to tackle this year's truly monstrous early pride-month discourse while eating a military ready-to-eat meal. We take on the NEW new pride flag piece by r-worded piece, from the new intersex circle, to the trans colors, to the black and brown stripes, diagnosing each group with a disease of the spirit. Then, we endure Nina West'...

CDC This Dick!

It's just the girls once more and this time, it's fucking mask OFF! It was a busy week for music so we run (it's really more of a brisk jog) down the list of the most hyped releases of the week with no sports bra on. (Look out, you're in the splash zone!) We REDUCE Nicki Minaj's "Fractions," LIGHT UP Katy Perry's Pokemon movie theme "Electric," HUMILIATE Olivia Rodrigo, and say some nice things about Billie Eillish. It's a good time.

BWET? You don't have to ask us twice!!! Three teenage Veronas (the girls AND returning guest, our favorite diva Zach from I'm So Popular pod!) do what historians, community leaders, music journalists, and the international courts weren't brave enough to do: we catalogue the full oral history of Azealia Banks controversies, cultural flashpoints, and iconic showdowns. From Elon and Grimes, to Kreayshawn and Cardi, we set the stage for each Banksian battle and decide who was right in the end-- eith...

The Devil And God Are Railing Inside Me!

{Meghan Trainor voice} If, I was you, I'd wanna get MeToo'd ♫ These really IS bloody shoes! In an episode full of satanic panic, human blood, and the uniquely breathable Calvin Klein One boxer briefs, we open our third eye (not that one, sicko!) to take a closer look at Lil Nasferatu Prince of Darkness's spicy new video for "Montero" and deduce who winds up with egg on their face: God, the devil, or US! I hope they serve queers in hell! But that's not all: we also review the totally Raetarded "O...

Girls... I'm not really even sure what to say about this one... We WERE joined by the iconic Jordan AKA @goodboygremlin on Twitter for the bitchfest of a lifetime regarding Nick being bullied for being PrEPphobic-- but we forgot to press record and literally flapped our nasty little gums for AN HOUR before realizing that we were not recording anything whatsoever.
