Guess who’s back? Back again. An old caller reemerges from the shadows, kicking off a wild and chaotic episode of Not Well. This week, the conversation dives into everything from holiday highs and lows to existential musings and absurd tangents that only Bobby and Jim can pull off.
The holidays take center stage as the duo unpacks the weirdness of gift-giving, the stress of unwrapping presents in front of an audience, and the sheer absurdity of obligatory workplace gift exchanges. There’s also a candid exploration of body image struggles, including a post-holiday battle with weight gain and self-perception, peppered with a bit of humor and self-deprecation.
The episode doesn’t hold back as the conversation veers into a discussion about evolving porn preferences, from fantasy-driven storylines to public settings and everything in between. This naturally leads into a reflection on queer spaces like The Eagle, where they share their appreciation for the raw, unapologetic energy of these establishments and lament the loss of that authenticity in some modern spaces.
Drag culture takes a turn under the spotlight, with sharp critiques about how mainstream attention has dulled the creative edge of drag performances. There’s a longing for more boundary-pushing art and a frustration with the predictability of certain performances. Despite the critiques, there’s still respect for drag as a vital part of queer expression and culture.
New Year’s Eve antics are recounted in vivid detail, including awkward party moments, over-the-top social interactions, and a bit of introspection about the exhausting nature of large gatherings. There’s a hilarious tangent about small talk and how draining it is, especially in high-energy social settings.
The episode is rounded out by a series of unfiltered rants, including one about restaurant service during the holidays and the oddly frustrating world of twist-tie trash bags. A vision of a world without buttholes becomes a centerpiece of one of the more absurd yet surprisingly profound tangents.
Finally, the episode wraps up with a critical take on RuPaul’s Drag Race and a promise to keep challenging norms while staying true to the chaotic, queer energy that defines Not Well.
This episode is an unfiltered, hilarious, and thought-provoking ride, filled with the trademark humor and raw honesty that listeners love.
