Welcome to Trigger Warning — my intentionally chaotic NYC nightlife podcast.

Adam and I kick things off in our new Summer “studio” at the Ice Palace where we sit down with the iconic Ana Matronic — DJ, Scissor Sisters legend, and self-proclaimed “pop star with the soul of a librarian.”

And yes… we go there.

What We Get Into:

✨ Broadway diva lore (Patti, Liza, Carol — obviously)
✨ Scissor Sisters blowing up in the UK before the U.S. caught on
✨ Fame and “upward dehumanization”
✨ “Let’s Have a Kiki” and dance-floor history
✨ Motown mixtapes & Ana’s DJ origin story
✨ Queer roots and nightlife legacy
✨ Regine and the invention of the modern discotheque

We also talk about Ana’s podcast Part-Time Sallies, where she dives into nightlife history and icons like Regine and Brick Top.

BUT- this was such an iconic conversation we decided we HAD to do it on two parts.

So if you love:
NYC nightlife, queer culture, DJ history, Fire Island, Scissor Sisters, or Broadway legends — this one’s for you.

We’re officially in our visual era — and no, this is still NOT a safe space.

Adam and I bring Trigger Warning to YouTube with NYC nightlife chaos, Fire Island tea, and zero filters. From Mr. New York to what’s coming at the Ice Palace, gurl is it FULL ON.

This week we are SO excited to welcome the legendary DJ Lina (co‑host of The Cutting Up: A Kiki with Connie and Lina) who joins us to talk:
🌈 Returning to Fire Island after years away
🎧 Why podcasting hits different
🔥 Why the Pines & Grove are “choose your own adventure” — if you claim it

We also discuss my getting kicked off Instagram/Meta, body‑shaming trolls, and why social media stays pressed.

Plus: Pride boat party fails, club raid stories, Juneteenth plans… and a very unserious ClonaWilly moment.

NYC. Nightlife. Summer. Firel Island. Pride season. Unfiltered energy.

Press play. 😈🔥

You can watch The Cutting Up: A Kiki with Connie and Lina every Thrusday wherever you get your favorite podcasts.

Adam and I are back to make your day (or possibly ruin it, who knows).

In any case elcome to another episode of Trigger Warning— now in living color.

On today's show, Adam and I take a trip down memory lane to our chaotic East Village Radio days. Remember when we literally recorded a live episode on the D train? Yeah, we’re still recovering from that.

But the real star of this episode is our longtime caller and absolute legend, Carlotta Wellington. Carlotta is a retired Las Vegas showgirl currently living it up in a showgirls’ retirement community, and she holds absolutely nothing back.

We get into the nitty-gritty of how insanely expensive Vegas has gotten, her degenerate gambling habits, and that time she was supposedly Lindsey Graham’s date to the Correspondents' Dinner. We also swap stories about getting messy at the Double Down Saloon, and the harsh realities of aging in the entertainment industry.

It’s fun. It’s our requisite chaos, but NOW you can see what we look like.

Hit play, get offended, and don't forget to subscribe!
