Summary

Kathleen opens the show drinking a Tangy Lemon Lime Topo Chico Seltzer, which she loves to drink in the summertime. She raves about her weekend in Vegas, with a sold-out show at The Mirage, seeing Weekends With Adele at Caesars, and attending RuPaul’s Drag Brunch at Senior Frogs on the Strip.

QUEEN NEWS: Kathleen reports that many of Queen Taylor Swift’s fans report experiencing ‘post-Eras amnesia’ after attending the Eras Tour, and Queen Stevie Nicks and Queen Tanya Tucker are back out on their summer tours.

“GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for delicious not-so-nutritious food, Kathleen samples Old El Paso Zesty Ranch Fiesta Twists and California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Ranch Dressing.

UPDATES: Kathleen gives updates on the demise of the Titanic Submersible, and Taco Bell is bringing. Back its Volcano menu for Summer 2023.

“HOLY SHIT THEY FOUND IT”: Kathleen is amazed to read about the discovery of Rubens’ Saint Sebastian Tended By Two Angels painting in Missouri, the ancient Mayan city of Ocomtun was recently discovered in the jungles of Mexico, and a Turkish man chasing chickens in his basement came across the gateway to an abandoned ancient city.

FRONT PAGE PUB NEWS: Kathleen shares articles proclaiming that Gen Z’ers are habitually terrible tippers, a Belgian man faked his own death and appears at his funeral to see who would show up, Kathleen’s friend Storme Warren is tearing up TuneIn Radio as the primary host of Garth Brooks’ The Big615 station, Ireland announced its Our Living Lands pledge, and Finland teaches us The Meaning of Life in 5 Words.

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS: In business news Kathleen reports that the bankrupt Bed Bath & Beyond sites are transitioning to Pickleball facilities in many US cities, and the biggest Buc-ee’s in the country just opened outside of Dolly’s Sevierville TN.
