On this week's hilariously unhinged episode of We Seen't It, your favorite tag team duo Patrick and Kevin are holding it down with a mixed bag of chaos, culture, and deep-fried internet thoughts. We kick things off with the new Christopher Nolan teaser trailer—which is giving existential dread meets IMAX money shots. Then Kevin takes us on a journey to Spooky Empire in Orlando, where the cosplay is creepy and the vibes are even creepier (in a good way? maybe?). The guys also bring out the internet clips they've been obsessed with—yes, we're talking random freestyles, weird TikToks, and probably someone falling off a hoverboard. Things get philosophical when the duo debates: Is Florida actually the South? Because, let's be real—South Florida feels more like "Jersey in a sauna" than Mississippi. Then we enter the unholy dilemma zone: Would you rather give up sauce... or kissing forever? Things get heated (and a little saucy). Also: Will Smith is out here doing wild freestyles and maybe lowkey unraveling. Is his legacy safe? The guys weigh in. And finally, the conversation takes a sharp left turn into Thong Song territory. That's right—Sisqó's magnum opus is back, and Cynthia Erivo has thoughts. So do we. It's weird, it's wonderful, it's We Seen't It. Tune in, and don't forget your hot sauce… or your chapstick.

This week I'm flying solo (Erica's out with food poisoning — send her love!) and diving into the delightful chaos of the internet's reaction to our recent Taylor Swift take.I unpack the Beyoncé comparisons, why I'm not here for the nonsense, and why I genuinely love making content that sparks convo.Plus: thoughts on the motherhood penalty, a Love Island mess, and my personal top 5 live vocal performances of all time (shout out to Cynthia Erivo for the inspo).It's giving joy. It's giving perspective. It's giving one woman, one mic, and one very good time.Subscribe for monthly bonus episodes:https://patreon.com/2Queens2CrownsJoin the conversation:TikTok -⁠@2queens2crowns⁠,⁠@iam_kjmiller⁠, @leta_bitchknow⁠YouTube -⁠2 Queens 2 Crowns⁠IG:⁠@kjmiller, ⁠⁠@letabknow References:NYT Article: Motherhood Should Come with a Warning Label:https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/opinion/motherhood-penalty-career.htmlCierra Exits Love Island:https://apnews.com/article/love-island-cierra-ortega-exits-377356df4eb101e3818150017ca2938dCynthia Erivo's Top 7 vocal performances:https://ew.com/cynthia-erivo-top-7-vocal-performances-sisqo-thong-song-11744743KJ's Top 5 Live Vocal Performances:Kelly Clarkson:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtNc_AwzTDY&list=RDAtNc_AwzTDY&start_radio=1Whitney Houston:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n9bxfxE25Y&list=RD_n9bxfxE25Y&start_radio=1Beyoncé:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZelBd4k6k20&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tDSara Bareilles:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX7ZB15y1tcFantasia:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhCyrgK7vs0&list=RDjhCyrgK7vs0&start_radio=1

I am so excited to share this very special bonus episode of the podcast with you, it's an extract of my audio book, ‘Great Chat: Talk To Anyone. Make New Connections and Improve Your Relationships' which is out now finally out in paperback and a new updated audiobook!  Get your copy and listen to the audiobook here: geni.us/GreatChat Listen to the audiobook on Spotify Premium for free here: https://open.spotify.com/show/1HH55EZsUSYtajczP6yjjJ?si=d25fe2b16afd4d4b  If you don't know what ‘Great Chat' is about, it's a self help book that will turn you into a more confident communicator. Whether you are socially anxious or a social butterfly there are seven vital lessons to make us all better communicators for ourselves and the people around us - no matter what social situation you find yourself in! So if you are finding it difficult to build meaningful connections on dates, I have got you! If it's hard to network - I have got you!  At the end of each chapter is a ‘chatterbox', which is a challenge to practice all the amazing lessons you will learn in the book, so it's really packed full of practical advice and guidance.  Here's even more exciting news! The paperback and audiobook have special bonus content that wasn't in the hardback edition. You will find an extra chapter about some life changing lessons I have learnt from conversations which will inspire you to get out there and get chatting. What you, my ‘Reign' listeners will LOVE is that I've extracted these lessons from my Reign guests including the amazing Kerry Washington, Richard E Grant, Cynthia Erivo, Rebecca Ferguson and Sadiq Khan AND there's also an additional ‘Chatterbox' in the new edition on how we can all be better allies to the neurodivergent community in coversations which is so vital!  The audio edition was so much fun to create and I went back into the studio a couple of weeks ago to record not only the bonus content that you can all find in the paperback but some bonus BONUS content just for the audiobook, too. For the lucky audiobook listeners, I will share some special bespoke advice from me. I asked you on my Instagram for some questions around chatting and communication, so you'll have to get the audiobook to see if I answered them! Don't forget, from the initial publication of ‘Great Chat', we also have the GREATEST chat with my friend and fantastic presenter Emma Willis, at the end of the audiobook, too. So when I say the audiobook it's super special, it really is. Now, as we did with the hardback publication, I'm going to treat you to another exclusive extract from the audiobook. In this special episode of ‘Reign' here's the very first chatterbox in the book: ‘Check Your Inner Chat.' Because the first step to becoming a more confident communicator starts with the conversation you have with yourself!  I hope you enjoy it and if you do, it would mean the world to me if you had a listen to the audiobook or buy the book and leave a comment wherever you get it! Hope you love it! Josh x Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You Betty be ready for Bracket 3 of All Stars 10! The final round of six returning Queens hits full of girls ready to compete for a spot in the semi-finals and ultimately the 200-K! From double Bettys (no relation, they cover that PLENTY of times), Denali the Icy Spicy Queen, and of course the unforgettable Cucu, this is the WILDEST cast of Queens yet, and this time they are tasked with breaking into pairs for a design challenge! Inspired by Wicked: For Good, the girls have to make a cohesive Good Witch/Bad Witch look. They also evidently need to be scriptwriters and are pushed to come up with a compelling story for their two witches – and speaking of witches, Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande guest judge this week just in time for the Wicked: For Good trailer (we're doing that now? guest spots to promote trailers? alright….). Who will snatch the first win of the bracket and have gravity defying moves to win the lipsync? It's all this plus more tea on an all new X Is For Show!

Another mind bending podcast.  In this we begin by talking about our recent appearance at Contact in the Desert. I did a guided meditation with a law enforcement person who reached out to me today to talk about something that occurred to him. He knew someone in the midst of the conflagration in downtown LA, and based on something we discussed at the convention, he did a meditation where he "asked his higher self to ask the higher selves of some of the rioters" to leave the scene.  He was surprised to later hear that they had mysteriously shifted direction and wondered if it was possible to affect change with that kind of intent.  Jennifer talked about the power of prayer, and I talked a bit about the effectiveness of meditation. Then we asked our moderator Luana Anders if anyone wanted to stop by; and Prince stopped by.  We said happy birthday to him, and I asked if he was stopping by because of a recent musician who had left the planet. He said "no."  I asked Luana if she was aware of who I was talking about even if Jennifer was not. She said she was. I started to say I had "heard this person's voice" in my kitchen yesterday saying "I'd be honored to be on your podcast." It was such a weird thing to hear, and since I've had a bad cold, I got emotional repeating the story. Apologies for getting choked up.  Then Jennifer realized who this "Brian" was.  Having been a music reviewer at Variety for some years I talked about a concert I'd reviewed, and am familiar with the documentaries (Frank Marshall's) about his life, and "Love and Mercy" with my Chicago pal John Cusack. I had many questions for Brian, including his mental issues, and he said they were related to the idea that he was "born without musical filters" and like some others we've interviewed, said "He was also hearing music since he was a child."  (See the book TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE) I asked him if he had a message for our mutual friend Van Dyke Parks (whom I last saw at Sally Kellerman's funeral) and when I asked him who he was surprised to see on the flipside, it was a name we've heard many times in our group; Aretha. I asked Aretha about a story I heard Cynthia Erivo tell yesterday on the BBC about Aretha coming backstage to sing to her.  It was interesting to hear Aretha downplay the event, since it was so meaningful to Cynthia.  Also Brian said he had met many others, or was in the process of meeting people, including John Lennon (He'd met the Beatles, but said he and John weren't close) but pointed out that he'd just gotten home and there were a lot of people to see. I apologized for peppering him with questions, then tried to tell him about being in a grocery store yesterday in Santa Monica, told the staff he had passed (they all reacted) I shouted to the manager "Can you put on some Beach Boys in honor of Brian?" and he did. And everyone in the store began to sing. It make me think of getting a pick up truck with massive Marshall speakers and drive around the National Guard playing the Beach Boys which they would appreciate and love as well.  The music makes people happy.  Just another mind bending half hour at the office.  Thank you Jennifer for your talents!
