Messy White Gays actor, The Grind dancer, and long-standing dream guest Pete Zias joins us from a hotel room lit by candlelight and the setting October Brooklyn sun to talk about his absolutely crucial Instagram Live show (and podcast!) Total Trash. Plus: Britney’s memoir, Jamie Lynn’s Dancing With The Stars flop, a life informed by tabloids, the dominance of the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal across all four sections of USA Today, the view from the pit at the 1997 Video Music Awards, fraternization among the dance company of the gayer later-‘90s reboot of The Grind, the celebrities who wandered into his section at Bloomingdale’s to find out what jackets were, his final verdict on the JonBenet Ramsey case, the unhinged nature of Los Angeles’ Look Cinemas, his secret life as a teenage capital-P Pranker with a skeleton key to the high school, what exactly the hell is going on with Jada Pinkett-Smith, why Will Smith is gay and Liberace is not and Tarbie will have her day, and the importance of pizzazz. Watch Total Trash at Pete’s IG (@petezias) on the Monday nights when he feels like doing it.
