RON’S KIKI IS BACK! 🎙️ After being away since late August, Ron is back behind the mic to catch everyone up on life, returning to work, and what’s next for this new chapter. We’re catching up on pop culture, headlines, and everything that’s been happening. We’re getting personal and discussing how life changes when you’re away and the impact it can have on friendships, relationships, dating, and priorities. Plus, this week’s Relevant Question: What has changed in your life while you weren’t paying attention? It’s been a minute, but we’re here, we’re queer, and we’re relevant!

Danity Kane’s 20-year anniversary, the new X-Men introduction into the MCU, a surrogacy scandal, and some serious relationship mess—we’re covering it all this week! Then we get into the question: Is dating your friend’s ex ever okay? Where’s the line, and would we actually cross it? Press play for the kiki!
