Eurovision Is My Cocomelon w/ Oscar Montoya

KP Parker and guest host comedian Oscar Montoya tumble down the Eurovision rabbit hole, with a few detours through reality TV obsession and Blake Shelton tabloid lore.

Along the way: ABBA, Riverdance, Tommy Cash, and one very memorable chicken song. Pandemic Hyperfixations: KP and Oscar swap stories about the pop culture obsessions that carried them through 2020, from Eurovision deep dives to Survivor marathons and reality TV strategy breakdowns. Competitive Spirits: The conversation drifts into online Traitors games, Survivor audition tapes, and KP’s very real experience surviving five days in a cornfield with only a bite of rice and a dream.

Category Is: Sleep w/ Bob The Drag Queen

Wils Pelton and Josh Gondelman welcome Bob the Drag Queen for a surprisingly heartfelt late-night chat about Broadway, stand-up comedy, internet outrage, and whether the universe actually cares about any of us.
