This week, we skip the Billboard charts (sorry, we will get back to them, but the same people are basically on top). I get to attend a Town Hall with the Tony Award-nominated cast of the Broadway show Sunset Blvd, discuss Jessica Glitter (Nicole Scherzinger) and the How I Met Your Mother tie-in. We shout out to Craig Thomas, co-creator of HIMYM, and Josh Radnor, “haaavveee you met Ted?” (Hi Josh!), More Gaga talk, Miley, and we pay tribute to two fallen icons, Jill Sobule (1959-2025) and drag superstar Jiggly Caliente (1980-2025).

This week, we skip the Billboard charts and focus on catching up. Topics include Lady Gaga speaking in Spanish, catching up with Kelsie Watts, and a review of Six! The Musical (time

stamp: 11:45) - We discuss the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 inductees, while Jessica Simpson is working on a comeback, and Katy Perry ventures into space, alienating most of the population. Also, is Katy Perry copying Miley Cyrus’ career? Miley Cyrus’ brother Trace Cyrus seems to think so. Lastly, we rage against scalpers!

In this episode, we chat with multi-talented recording artist Kelsie Watts, who tells us about her exciting Broadway debut as Queen Jane Seymour in the hit Broadway musical Six The Musical. We talk about her working with Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean; listen to me begrudgingly admit that Joey Fatone is a genuinely lovely guy. We also reminisce on TRL and the Backstreet Boys vs. NSYNC wars of the late 90s and early 00s.
