  • Not All Heroes Wear Capes with Nicole Maines

    Not All Heroes Wear Capes with Nicole Maines

    · Cool Cool Cool

    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.

    · Cool Cool Cool

    Jordan is back on the pod this week! For those who don’t know her, she's a writer, comedian, and content producer who’s been working with the legendary Rhett and Link at Mythical Entertainment. We get into some funny stories, like how she accidentally ended up in the Mythical world, and we also talk about the weirdness of social media feedback—everything from unsolicited body comments to how tiring it is dealing with everyone’s opinions. 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...

  • What Dreams Are Made Of with Raymond Padilla

    What Dreams Are Made Of with Raymond Padilla

    · Cool Cool Cool

    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.
