Last week we celebrated WICKED, this week we celebrate Christmas and Kristy Cates! On this episode, Landyn sits down with Broadway actor, professor, mother, and fabulous friend, Kristy Cates. Kristy is an "OG" Elphaba, as she was in the original Broadway cast of WICKED. She portrayed Elphaba on Broadway, Chicago, and the 1st National Tour. Kristy has also appeared in FINDING NEVERLAND and CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY on Broadway, in addition to several Off-Broadway and Regional productions throughout the country. Currently, she is the Head of the College of Performing Arts at the New York Film Academy.

In addition to this fantastic interview, AJ brings us a new installment of "Hot Takes," where he states why he is no longer a dog person. It might have something to do with the "hate crimes" his dog has been committing over the past few days. All of this and, of course, "The Word of the Day" on an all new...NO FUCKS LEFT.

We are celebrating ALL things...WICKED in this "wicked awesome" episode! This is a packed episode as we also have TWO SPECIAL GUESTS. Both of our guests have appeared in WICKED (NOT Together!) with one portraying, "Glinda" and the other an OG "Elphaba."

First up, Landyn, AJ, and Special Guest #1 participate in our official WICKED WRAP-UP. The team shares their likes, loves, and perhaps aspects that came up short in a spirited conversation. Who said "Madame Morrible" was their favorite character (aside from the pink and green...naturally!)?

Next, Landyn chats with Special Guest #2 in a mini-interview taken from NEXT week's episode. The full interview with this brilliant guest will air in Episode 9, so think of this as a "sneak peek!" The bonus is that it's a great conversation about her time with WICKED as seen through her now 10-year-old daughter. Our special guest also reflects on her rather long time with the production highlighting some of the highs and lows.

Landyn opens the show with a monologue about her connection to and "lunch date" with Stephen Schwartz, the writer of WICKED. On an all NEW episode of NO FUCKS LEFT with Landyn Shaw.

In this very special episode, we depart a bit from our regularly scheduled programming. Landyn experiments with a new concept entitled " Back to Before" and interviews her high school choir teacher, Laurel Kaiser. This concept evolved as Landyn has been diligently putting many pieces of her life together and how that informs who she is now. When discussing her high school years and life in her hometown, there was no other guest she could think of to start with. Mrs. Kaiser was a mentor, mother figure, close friend, and confidante who knew her better than her parents at times.

Before the interview, this episode starts with a very raw, real, emotional, and unfiltered monologue focusing purely on her gender journey. Beginning at around age 4, Landyn explains many aspects of what her path toward authenticity has looked like as she speaks from the heart. She reveals many things, that in some cases, she has never discussed with anyone else. It's a fascinating and insightful episode that you and your friends will not want to miss.

We kindly request that you please write to us about this episode specifying what you liked, didn't like, or what aspects you felt we could have explored even further. In case you couldn't tell, Landyn is a talker and finds talking about her transformation, experiences, and discoveries to be very therapeutic and helpful! You will not want to miss this all-new episode.

NOTE: As promised the interview between Landyn and Mrs. Kaiser starts at 39:30
