379: Pride Month classic with Jamie Gendron and Kinky Jesus

We are celebrating pride month all month long and our first classic was taped 7 years ago today with trans comedian and activist Jamie Gendron who dominated Kinky Jesus in one of our most popular shows Comedian Jamie Gendron indulged her naughty side and reminisced about her dominatrix past as she met a willing slave in Kinky Jesus on the show this week. Jamie had all sorts of stories about being a dominatrix in New Orleans and Hollywood and how lucrative and naughty that can be. You will never look at a dog’s chew toy quite the same again. Kinky Jesus had his own stories about being a sub for many years and you won’t believe how he got the name Kinky Jesus. Nails are involved. The conversation was only cut short so Jamie and Kinky Jesus can do their own scene complete with slapping, nail coverings, handcuffs, hard nipple twists and flogging with a belt that had bullets attached.
