2022-02-191h 17Queerly RecommendedWe're into Teasing this Episode, Apparently (QR 028)What can I say? I'm a little disappointed. Tara and Kris start with some teasing about stuff that's not even in this episode and I'm the show notes! I want to include everything! There's a whole bunch of stuff that does come up that I can tell you about, though. Kris has a Cujo story (what, you're surprised?). Somehow Willy Wonka makes an appearance. Kris reminisces about the time Queer Eye came to her town and the pair discuss what it would take for them to get in bed together. It's less than you'd think! ...
