Between buying sketchy feather fans from the internet, getting scammed on Etsy chiffon, and debating if the Home Depot Oval Office is the biggest rip-off of all, we’re deep in fraud fatigue. Of course, there’s...

We’re knee-deep in tour prep — rhinestones, fog machines, canceled rehearsals, and one very scary costume sketch session. Oh, and it’s Gottmik’s birthday.

We’re back in the studio and finally dusting off the No Gorge camera. This week, we’re prepping for tour and catching up on everything we missed: broken business class seats, near-fights on planes, Fire Island infections, and one man’s breath that still haunts us.
