Today's guest is nothing short of iconic—Nicole Maines, the first-ever trans superhero on TV. She made history playing Dreamer on Supergirl, and she's been a trailblazer ever since. Nicole's also a fierce advocate, author of Better Except When It Gets Worse, and a comic book nerd in the best way possible. We dive into her groundbreaking role, the highs and lows of being a visible trans advocate, and the chaos of diving into fandoms like D&D and manga. With her sharp wit, huge heart, and some truly unhinged D&D character ideas, we get deep on representation, resilience, and cutting through toxic positivity. Basically, Nicole is a superhero both on and off the screen.

We also dive into her new cooking competition show, Gastronauts, where comedians get to create the most bizarre food challenges for chefs, plus 'a wedding summit for influencers' (Jordan's words, not mine), and of course—you've been asking for it...

I'm excited to finally sit down with Raymond Padilla for a fun and honest chat. Ray shared his journey from struggling actor to thriving comedian and Internet personality, including how moving to New York during the pandemic helped him find a sense of belonging in the vibrant queer community there—something he felt was missing in L.A. We talked about his time at SoulCycle, the wild culture of trendy gyms, and how he found his comedic voice opening for Heather McMahan. Ray also reflected on how being a visible queer person is inherently political, the strides made in LGBTQ+ representation, and the challenges of dealing with online trolls.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Shaun Peterson, the director of Lover of Men, as he pulls back the curtain on Abraham Lincoln's intimate life. From Lincoln's rumored romantic relationships with men to exploring how fluid sexuality was back in the 19th century—a time when terms like "homosexual" and "heterosexual" didn't exist—the film also tackles the pressing issue of queer erasure throughout history. Shaun talks about his experience creating the documentary and the crazy discoveries from Lincoln's handwritten letters.
