Fish tits, the memorable NYC drag queen Aquadesia, also known as best-selling author Josh Killmer-Purcell joins us in the house today for an irreverent debate with PETA activist Mike Brazell about vegetarianism, using animals in entertainment, pro-life and animal-rights. Josh’s controversial costume has recently come into a lot of controversy because it incorporated two clear water-filled acrylic spheres holding a goldfish in each as part of his costume and as the cover of his new book “I Am Not Myself These Days.”

PETA (that’s People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals… shouldn’t it be called PFTETA?) ain’t too happy with this, and so their cute representative Mike Brazell makes an earnest plea for all future drag queens out there to NOT use animals of any kind in their costumes. We ain’t kidding.

Listen to this funky conversation about why you should become a vegan or why you should enjoy having goldfish as pets. It’s all over the place, and a whole lot of fun. Read more…
