In today’s episode of HIGHKEY!, Ryan goes OFF about camping and why he absolutely refuses to do it.  Which somehow leads straight into Coachella talk, festival delusions, and what people are really willing to endure for a vibe.Then things take a turn as they get into the Kanye conversation… like, who is STILL defending him and what’s the reasoning?? 👀 Plus, Ry sounds off on AI—whether it’s genius or giving “we’ve gone too far”—and if he’s actually okay with where things are headed.

An episode unlike any previous– Ryan and Yvie are live in the studio hosting Alaska Thunderfuck! She philosophizes about the art of getting shit done, expressing mental illness on reality tv, and how Willam choosing chaos and Alaska choosing “middle child” make their dynamic work. She doesn’t care about making art for places where drag queens are deprioritized and misunderstood. “That makes me feel like shit. What makes me feel good is doing a drag show.” Alaska and Yvie wonder about Tyra and Rupaul, and Alaska reveals who she stole her drag name from. The modern TSA experience and injustices of the Beyoncé-level concert industrial complex are also discussed.  Ryan says recent drag race stars have learned the art of breaking the fourth wall, but Alaska says the best reality stars are too delusional to notice the cameras. Do you have a different theory of great reality tv personality? Let’s discuss, talk amongst yourselves.  If you’re HIGHKEY! vibing with us, come hang on Patreon!

Is it hot in here, or is it just King Molasses? The first King of Drag talks about why they almost didn’t audition in the first place and the kind of pressure they felt to make sure the first season of a new kind of reality drag show was the best it could be. Yvie and Molasses compare and contrast their experiences with reality tv, the performance industry, and how misogyny still shapes the way culture understands both drag kings and queens. Molasses also talks about how a broader art-making practice informs their approach to drag, and why dreaming matters so much right now.  Plus, Ryan’s excited for Zohran Mamdani’s win and wondering: what happens next?

Ryan’s coming out (as that gamer) and Yvie’s an internationally wanted criminal (okay, maybe just kicked out of Australia). Plus, what’s it like when the whole world has an opinion on your family business? The Queen of Chicago who’s name is in everybody’s mouth lately, Shea Couleé graces the pod with her side of the story. The Marvel cinematic universe star makes a serious case for being a misunderstood Aquarius (resting bitch face or just daydreaming about shoes?).  Yes, we do get the tea on what Shea’s been thinking about since parting ways with her drag daughters, and why learning to flex the empathy muscle means a greater compassion for yourself as much as others.

It’s Hovember, girls. How are we dealing? We chat with God’s favorite transsexual, Bosco, to get the inside scoop on what it’s like to be insanely hot and newly engaged. Now that the Drag Race and All Stars legend has a fiancé, how long until she’s a suburban mom of four? And just who is this mysterious Mr. Bitches? We hear about what keeps her open relationship healthy, the personal growth of a great boob job, and the need for keeping Bosco the drag performer and Blair, the real person separate. This isn’t The Substance, after all. There isn’t going to be a Bosco the Trad Wife any time soon. The soon-to-be Mrs. Bitches has some rather unusual hobbies (one of which might even be Magic Cards).   If you’re HIGHKEY! vibing with us, come hang on Patreon!
