What’s up y’all of little faith and welcome to season 2, episode 19 of TFP!

I’m your hostess, not your Moses, Mat Hayes, and if I’m still giving you episodes it means that I am still looking for peace in the unknown! 

I am SQUEALING over today’s guest y’all. 

Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying heathen with Appalachian roots who now calls San Diego home. This singing/songwriting drag queen time traveled from a 90s Lilith Fair tour to the present day, bringing with her a roots-rock sound influenced by gospel and Americana. Her music shines a spotlight on the queer spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma. With a bold lip and a big lash, Flamy is here to rewrite the rules when it comes to religious music, as her songs demand a reckoning for an industry that has for too long silenced and shut out its LGBTQ+ artists and fans. Flamy's debut album Bible Belt Baby drops September 23, 2022 at your favorite digital music store.

So tuck it tight and let’s go! Welcome to show, Flamy Grant!

What’s up y’all of little faith and welcome to season 2, episode 18 of TFP!

Y’all, if you follow anything about my life, you’ll know today’s guest. 

Daniel Robaire is one of my dearest friends. We met when we played husbands and fathers on an episode of Jane The Virgin back in 2017. Our characters were literally named Upset Dad #1 and Upset Dad #2. We hit it off and have been close ever since. 

He also played my husband in my award winning film, Cognitive, that swept the festival circuit, and in a roundabout way, led me to doing this podcast! 

Daniel is a fabulous and hilarious actor, but during Covid, like everyone else, we lost our industry. As creatives, we went crazy because we didn’t have anywhere to express our inner creative. Daniel literally picked up a paintbrush for the first time during the very early days of lockdown, and he is now a renown watercolor artist known as Robert Maurice, specializing in male nudes. He of course does other subjects, but his homoerotic artwork is absolutely incredible. 

In this episode you’ll hear all about how he got started in discovering this hidden talent, and how it informs his relationship with his other artistic endeavors. 

This guy, for better or for worse, is family. I love him dearly and I’m excited for you to get to know him better as well. 

Welcome to the show, my forever Upset Dad, Daniel Robaire.
