299. Beyonce Parkwood Festival?, AYA: How To Be An Ally, Go F'ing Vote!

·1 hr 13 min·5 clips

Will Beyoncé ever perform at a music festival again after Coachella, or will she launch her own Parkwood Festival?

The episode opens with the hosts catching up on recent recording mishaps, including time zone confusion and internet issues. They transition to discussing the perception of time, with summer feeling unusually short. Conversation shifts to upcoming concerts, with Jarrell planning to attend an EDM show at Red Rocks in Denver and a Charli XCX concert. This leads to a central question: whether Beyoncé's Coachella performance was her last festival appearance, with speculation she might create her own Parkwood Festival in Houston. The hosts then compare concert crowds, noting Justin Timberlake's audience was over 90% white in Philly, while Stevie Wonder's show attracted an older, diverse crowd. They review Stevie Wonder's exceptional vocal performance at age 74. Halloween plans are shared, including Jarrell dressing as Storm in a 28-person Marvel group and Kerel planning Rococo aristocrat and RuPaul racer outfits. A listener named Gwen submits an 'Ask Your Aunties' question about how allies can support queer spaces without taking up space. The hosts emphasize going as a plus-one, respecting the energy, and demonstrating consistent allyship beyond play spaces. They critique allies who appropriate gay culture or treat queer spaces like bachelorette parties. The episode touches on sports, debating a controversial foul call in the WNBA Finals that they believe decided the championship, and mentions the WNBA players opting out of their CBA. They express sadness over the potential end of TNT's 'Inside the NBA.' The conversation concludes with election anxiety, with hosts sharing their plans for Election Day and criticizing imbalanced political scrutiny of Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump.
