A Pretty Gay Episode

Unfriendly Black Hotties

That’s right, the Hotties have decided to grace you with a special bonus episode! Instead of their signature cold takes, CT & KW are here with some *~hot *~ takes on recent events! (...don't get used to it.)

They discuss Jessica Krug and academia’s relationship with blackness in Nonsense in Higher Ed—spoiler, they do not wish her well [2:06-16:43]. Next, it’s time to celebrate! In honor of Niecy Nash coming out & getting herself a whole wife, CT & KW challenge themselves to come up with some “straight” celebrity women who should perhaps consider marrying the Hotties [16:53-46:30]. Then, a retrospective on Lady Gaga’s Chromatica, and her takeover of the strangest VMA’s ever [46:42-56:54]. Of course, they have some culture for you to Get Involved with—join them, won’t you?
