Dolly Parton & Tim Curry: The Loss of Two Legends

And! Sometimes! Fridays! We gabbed for a WHILE in this ep, just like old times. Hopefully y’all have some time to kill :) This week we’re aging along with the rest of the gay/artist/weirdo community because of the passing of BOTH Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. We honor their legacy by talking about their amazing movies, how easy it is to get gay people to love you, and how unbelievably hot they are. Do y’all realize how smart and generous Dolly was?? Did y’all know Tim Curry is the voice of that sexy oil spill villain in Fern Gully??? Nobody here is old enough to remember that movie… Anyway, may their memory be a blessing. We’re thrilled that Rocky Horror Picture Show is on Broadway and we honestly just want to slowly stack the cast with everyone from Glee and/or The Glee Project. AI video games continue to be the worst and Blake had to go on an apology tour as a result. Back to School as a concept is a bummer largely because bad interior design makes Heather cry. Our DMM submission comes straight from a fellow Opera Camp soldier who IS translating her text unlike some people… And we finally get into Q&A again!

The Monkey's Paw of Being a Pop Girl

And sometimes Fridays! And sometimes UNDER an hour! Can you even believe? This week we are aging aka our brains are literally decaying and atrophying because of a Splatoon brain rot voiceover. And our hearts are both growing 3 sizes like the grinch and also withering away because of the malevolent use of “When Somebody Loved Me” all over Toy Story 5. They’ve got us so bad, we don’t even need to hear the words anymore!! But maybe we all need more plushies? We’re both aging and staying young because of our girl, Ari. We at KMY think everyone deserves to disappear into the woods every now and then (or for months at a time, like Heather), and that especially applies to celebrities. So everybody shutup and leave her alone so she can wear big hoodies in peace! The Women’s Pro Baseball League is keeping us young because 1. lesbian jocks in tight pants 2. women’s sports and 3. a national anthem rendition that defies gravity, time, and even pitch. Play ball! This week’s depression meals really don’t check any boxes at all other than “technically food” and we think that’s better than nothing. See you next week for Q&A!

The Fake Concern of Ariana Grande's "Fans"

And sometimes Thursdays! And sometimes UNDER an hour! Can you even believe? This week we are aging aka our brains are literally decaying and atrophying because of a Splatoon brain rot voiceover.

A Drag Queen's Big Brother Betrayal

Ding dooong, two chronically online millennials calling! The world continues to be our oyster and yes, you SHOULD interpret that as yonic imagery. This week we dive into TV and film faves of today and yesterday, and, ultimately, we discover the spectrum of feral Drag Race fandom to tenderqueer Steven Universe simps. Oprah’s name was Orpah? Will a drag queen get dragged in the Big Brother edit? We dig into The Odyssey (again), including but not limited to: Heather not knowing the difference between white men auteurs, straight boy foolishness, making generational talent actors say buckwild lines, Robert Pattinson being the world’s best c*nty frat boy, geeking out about that cyclops sound effect, and Elliot Page absolutely chewing up his 1.5 scenes. And let’s make a little commotion for that witch and those piggy boys! Watching the Odyssey as Christopher Nolan intended: by listening to two gays discuss it on a podcast. Our depression meals today are instant noodle based and we get a DMM submission that takes us on a RIDE. And an earnest but “low stakes” Q&A about ways to spice up long distance relayshes.

The Odyssey is the LOUDEST (and Best) Movie EVER

AND SOMETIMES WE POST ON THURSDAYS. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: time is a construct. We are ~*$~artists*$~~ and we can’t be expected to do the same thing more than one week in a row. Hi besties! Join us on an odd-dussy this week through way too many topics for how many minutes this episode is. Heather’s staying young on the sidelines of Black Instagram watching the “bouncy church dress” trend and giggling at the intermittent beauty of people doing dumb shit and posting videos on the internet for each other. Taco Bae is keeping us all young and healthy by being better prepared than the FDA and that’s on trusting processed foods. Jacob Collier makes another appearance on the pod but it’s because Heather listened to one (1) song and actually liked it. Yikes. Lena Dunham’s memoir Famesick is also aging us just because, like. Girl. What a life. Woof. Blake is old and young and infinite and limitless because of the ODYSSEY, which he graciously describes to Heather, who has completely forgotten high school English but kind of sort of watched Percy Jackson while they were babysitting. We’re aging at the corner of the internet that continues to be racist and transphobic, shocker. Show us a more beautiful woman than Lupita Nyong’o. JUST TRY. Blake is adding “famous voice actor” to his resume? **Watch this space** for the first and last voice actor Grammy win. Depression meals are kind of all desserts this week? And we got the first of hopefully MANY similarly ridiculous Q&As. Submit your Depression Meals and Q&A with Queer and Gay questions to keepmeyoungpod@gmail.com or on Instagram @keepmeyoungpod. Our theme song “Old” is written and performed by the band pop kiss, fronted by Nicole and Sydney Patrick. @popkisstheband Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"The Scariest Movie of the Year" and Why It Sucks

Pride month is every month and this week Heather is staying young with THREE bits of queer news: Lady G’s comment section haters, Layla from Mormon Wives dating a lady, and a new women’s pro baseball league! **Apologies to the WMLB team that got forgotten: San Francisco Firebells! Blake is staying young from a secret work trip to LA like a real ~influencer~ and we’re both on the edge of our seats about the Silky and A’Keria beef which might be…nothing? Speaking of which! Undertone, the “scariest movie of the year” is about podcasters with bad time management skills. Yes, queen, give us nothing! We feel approximately one hundred years old because of Erlin Haalan’s insane 500k Hermes bag collection at the age of TWENTY FIVE. Should we be investing in bags? Leave your certified financial advice in the comments below! This week our depression meals cause emergencies and have staying power but Q&A is a rare peek into the rare good food and drink choices we make.

Taylor Swift, Bangladesh, and Captain America's Bulge

The thing about setting a low bar is that when you get two episodes in a row, it feels like Christmas!! Under promise, over deliver, baybeeee xoxoxoThis week we obv had to reflect on our respective family/extended family wedding experiences over the weekend, including but not limited to impromptu line dances, fake-out flash mobs, having the sound guy in your back pocket, crying, AND not crying. Pour one out for our fallen soldier, Blue Barry Jones, Heather’s senior cat who crossed the rainbow bridge to join Blake’s family pets 🕊️ And speaking of meaningful, personal, intentional, poignant life events that bring us together, we also discuss America’s wedding aka JUST+T MARRIED. Heather is aging from that Bangladesh song but not for the reason you’d think, and Blake is aging and staying youthful from a certain Marvel Captain America bathing suit graphic that’s very…girthy. Representation matters and cartoon video game men can be objectified too! Feminism is also great for gay guys!! Our depression meals are another quantity over quality situation, brought to you by BLOATING. We asked and you listened and our Q&A is not of the life/mental health threatening variety! If you are in an emergency situation, please seek professional treatment and not the advice of podcast hosts! ILYSM, bestie! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
