Why would the B-52s perform at The Planet?
Kate Pierson’s favorite food is pear polenta tarts.
That’s one thing TLW:GQ has lacked. It would have really spiced up one of those Dani/Sophie fights if Micah popped in to say don’t forget Lizzo is appearing at Dana’s tonight.
Or, alternatively, maybe Hayley Kiyoko playing at Bette’s campaign event
Why didn’t the Aloce show have musical guests?
I was expecting so many more celesbians on The Aloce Show…
Thank you Carly for explaining how directors are picked, I always find those things interesting
Someone please make a ringtone / notification sound out of Carly’s Wax riff!! I would love it so hard.
I’m watching the show for the first time along with the podcast, I hope there are more episodes coming that are so terrible you have this much fun with them!
Be careful what you wish for…
lol @carmensandiego
just you wait the show gets EVEN WORSE next week!!!
We called the cool ‘S’ a stussy. Was it called other things?
I didn’t watch the 3rd season of The L Word because of the cancer story line. The podcast episode was hilarious though! Dana Fairbanks said “Trans Rights!” J/K she didn’t.
oh interesting, like stussy the brand??
not watching s3 was a good call! the way they handle the cancer storyline is really terrible! (also we have a breast cancer survivor guesting on episode 309 to give her take on it, which will be yet another really great ep of TLAB!)
It would be great to have Carmen Phillips as a guest… Dr CP did amazing on that senior editors episode…
she sure was! we can only have guests on the podcast who are in los angeles though because we record in person. :-(
Sadness ensues
Well, The Flower Duet is permanently ruined forever for me because of this episode
