Show Notes
The No Gorge Tour rolls on and this week we’re talking life between shows, from motel rooms and bus bunks to sleep masks, noise machines, and Panera runs that turn into full-blown therapy sessions.
We go deep on our favorite orders (and what happened when the sugar cookies sold out), the decline of frosting standards, and Violet’s lifelong cake obsession. That somehow leads to the seven deadly sins, gluttony as a lifestyle, and a trip down memory lane through early drag road gigs across the South, performing anywhere that would have her from Atlanta to New Orleans.
From there we spiral into cultural commentary: why 2012 might have been the last time anything felt new, how dubstep and hipster fashion defined an era, and what it means when pop stars get too happy. Naturally, Taylor Swift’s new album gets a full dissection. We also talk true crime documentaries, serial killer clowns, and Violet’s idea to “kill off” her drag persona and turn her tattoos into handbags.
It’s sugar highs, tour life, and chaotic conversation packed into one episode, and we’re taking you with us.
