"Queer Eye" and "No Taste Like Home" star Antoni Porowski joins Tinfoil Swans live at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen for a heartfelt and humorous conversation about identity, vulnerability, and finding meaning through food. He opens up about his path from actor and caterer to TV host and storyteller, the emotional layers of cooking, navigating fame, and the gentle art of knowing when to leave the party. Along the way, he shares reflections on therapy, self-care, family dynamics — and what turning 40 taught him. Sponsor: Old Fitzgerald® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

×Episode 85: Baseball Movies (77 minutes) On what would’ve been MLB Opening Day 2020, Matty watched Field of Dreams in lieu of real baseball… what happened next may shock you! Nah, it won’t shock you at all – he spent the next 3 months watching a new baseball movie every week, and is now ready to share his findings with Alex. Tune in to hear where “Mr. 3000” got his nickname, whose birthday party Alex saw Bad News Bears at, what Owen Wilson’s hair looks like under a baseball hat, who Susan Sarandon *really* chose in Bull Durham, and which movie Alex’s dad called “not a baseball movie!” PLUS: CTQ sets a new single-episode record for most synopses! https://ia601503.us.archive.org/22/items/ctq-85-baseball-movies/01%20CTQ%2085%20Baseball%20Movies%201.mp3…

Episode 84: The Susan-Kate Heaney Trilogy (83 minutes) Wunderkind Susan-Kate Heaney returns to complete the CTQ trifecta of appearing in the studio, in a live episode, and via Skype. SK fully embodies Ms. Frizzle by teaching the guys all about tooth-forward acting, ideal moisture levels, and the meaning of the word “harlequin.” Has Matty finally found a friend to save him from watching a horror movie, or will Alex thwart his plans once more? Hold onto your bodices, it’s our steamiest episode yet! And remember: if a man wants a taco, you can’t just offer him an enchilada.

It’s Clearing the Queue…now brought to you by Real Fake Knobs! Izzy Maxwell makes his 13th, 14th, or 15th appearance on CTQ to promote his new business and clear a movie off of his “Netflix Queue.” Alex propositions him to have an Algorithm Baby, while Matty cases venue security and tries to figure out who Adam Driver is.

Turn up the GRIT (but not too high), it’s Michael Rhima time! Michael shares his collection of Nigerian Meg Ryan DVDs, outlines the “Notorious B.I.G./Citizen Kane” theorem, and impresses his hosts with a few casual backflips. Alex tries to remember the last time he drove Matty to the airport, while Matty gets his Red and Dead seas confused (and pays the price). The question on everyone’s mind is: Can you be predestined to change your fate?

Much like X-Men’s Dark Phoenix, Clearing the Queue rises from the ashes with the help of old friend Dane DiLiegro! Dane really plays with the medium, unleashing a Pandora’s Box of topics ranging from bone holes and banjos to Bitcoin and burnt toast. In the end, Alex and Matty learn an important lesson: never bet against Dane DiLiegro. https://ia801407.us.archive.org/6/items/CTQ75Dane/01%20CTQ%2075%20Dane%201.mp3…
It’s 2019 and our hosts have a lot to catch up on! Matty is shocked to learn that Alex finally watched Schindler’s List, and even more shocked to learn that Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is a movie, not a theme park ride. Later, they’re joined via Skype by Alex’s dad, who gives the hard sell on Afternoon Delight, reveals what beloved movie he recently slept through, and somehow ties Jim Carrey’s “The Mask” to New York Yankees legend Mickey Mantle. This episode will have you shouting “Oh, that’s my dentist!” https://ia801502.us.archive.org/24/items/CTQ74/01%20CTQ%2074%201.mp3…
What is this, a crossover episode? Aaron McLane and Matt Corrigan from The Launchpad Podcast invade the Queuedio to close out 2018. After much deliberation over who gets to be “Matt #1” and who is saddled with “Matt #2” (the results will shock you!), the self-styled Rocketeers record an episode with so much whimsy it’ll make you want to high five a stranger. Along the way, the gang discusses who would’ve mourned Gaston’s demise, plays a knee-slapping round of “The Day After,” and spends way too much time dissecting what is essentially a 90 minute long McDonald’s commercial. Check out The Launchpad Podcast for part two! https://ia601502.us.archive.org/12/items/CTQ73Launchpad/01%20CTQ%20Launchpad%201.mp3…
New episode! We were definitely on a break, but now we’re back to take care of some unfinished business. Last year Matty and Alex set out on a quest to watch every Friendsgiving episode with their pals Chris and Andrea, but they only made it 5/9ths of the way through. Now nothing will stand in their way of viewing the final four episodes – not even Chandler’s severed toe. Join the four of us as we learn what it truly means to be a “Friend!” https://ia601508.us.archive.org/0/items/CTQ72Friendsgiving2/01%20CTQ%2072%20Friendsgiving%202%201.mp3…
2017 Rebroadcast: CTQ welcomed back Chris “don’t call me Chris Ly” Li, as well as first time guest Andrea “my last name was Falk before I married Alex” Popkin for this special episode. In it, the gang sifted through the Friendsgiving episodes in search of the Spirit of Thanksgiving. But did they find it before Matty’s “P.C. Police” showed up to ruin the fun? Tune in to find out! https://ia601504.us.archive.org/24/items/CTQ54Friendsgiving/01%20CTQ%2054%20Friendsgiving%201.mp3…
