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? Listen up girls, we’re getting inspirational today. If you’re HIGHKEY! vibing with us, come hang on Patreon!

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. Find out why the public messiness ultimately felt like a gift… and why nobody’s getting gifts from Shea Couleé this holiday season. If you’re HIGHKEY! vibing with us, come hang on Patreon!

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!

Emmy-winning legend Niecy Nash joins hosts Ryan and Yvie for a spooky season Halloween special that’s HighKey! hilarious. Our favorite “Reno 911” police woman and “Dahmer” diva opens up about her new Ryan Murphy show “All’s Fair,” marriage to Jessica Betts, what it means to love out loud, and whether or not she’s a scream queen. You won’t want to miss Niecy’s wedding dress horror story, what work opportunities make her say “no”, and why she’s always found power in being comfortable in her own skin. Plus, Yvie’s a ghost with a cold (is it giving diet Klan?!), Ryan’s getting ready for a Halloween party and has a little story about Khalid… Boo!

Jussie Smollett joins Ryan and Yvie for a raw, emotional, and hilarious conversation about art, love, and redemption. Fresh off the release of his new album Break Out, Jussie opens up about how authenticity and healing have reshaped his artistry — and how he’s learned to “go where the love is.” The trio dives deep into identity, fame, and chosen family, reflecting on how community shifts when you’re constantly under the microscope. Between laughter, honesty and a few wild Hollywood stories, this episode shows a more grounded, reflective Jussie — one focused on love, purpose, and growth.  Yvie and Ryan also get into Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film One Battle After Another, unpacking race, representation, and why cinema still matters.  If you’re HIGHKEY! vibing with us, come hang on Patreon!

It’s officially spooky season, and Ryan and Yvie are summoning the queens of darkness themselves — The Boulet Brothers! The masterminds behind Dragula join Highkey! for a chilling, hilarious, and deeply queer dive into the magic of horror, the art of drag, and how embracing your inner monster can set you free. The Boulets reveal the origins of their horror obsession, how they built a global cult following, and why queer fear has always been revolutionary. Expect talk of Halloween nostalgia, LA’s haunted nightlife, and the creative grind behind their Emmy-nominated phenomenon. Whether you’re into black-and-white classics, punk drag, or just love chaos and camp, this episode slays from start to finish.

Ryan and Yvie welcome the iconic Kim Chi — Drag Race legend, fashion queen, and beauty mogul. Kim opens up about her whirlwind tour life, the balance between artistry and survival, and why she thinks modern Drag Race has lost some originality. She spills on launching KimChi Chic Beauty, writing a cookbook, and navigating the toxic mix of body image and online hate while still pursuing her passions. Expect plenty of shade and laughs too: Yvie recalls a chaotic tour disaster, Kim confesses her biggest drag pet peeves, and the queens debate what really makes a great performance. Plus, Kim’s foodie adventures, juicy pageant drama, and hot takes on Big Brother and Gen V. This episode is equal parts inspiring, hilarious, and raw, showcasing Kim Chi’s wit, resilience, and undeniable drag legacy. If you’re HIGHKEY! vibing with us, come hang on Patreon!

This week on HighKey! we bow down to the Queen of the North herself — Brooke Lynn Hytes! From ballerina to Drag Race royalty, Brooke spills on rivalries, evolution, and running her own franchise. She gets real about navigating the in-between spaces of her own gender and sexuality, learning to live with fan opinions, and why finishing second to Yvie in Season 11 still felt like a win. Plus, the ladies spill tea on the Emmys, Yvie at fashion week, and Ryan's hang with a glowed up Demi Lovato. If you’re HIGHKEY! vibing with us, come hang on Patreon!

Taylor Hale joins Yvie and Ryan on HIGHKEY! for a no-holds-barred dive into her journey from pageants to Big Brother history to The Amazing Race. She opens up about setting boundaries with fellow contestants in reality TV, why stan culture can get toxic, and what it means to be labeled a “girl’s girl.” Taylor also shares stories about pageant life, growing up surrounded by queer family, and navigating fame while keeping her humanity intact. Along the way, Yvie and Ryan bring their signature chaos — from VMAs nostalgia to jazz tangents and messy confessions. If you’re HIGHKEY! vibing with us, come hang on Patreon!

Yvie and Ryan ditch the guests and share their own origin stories. From Yvie’s original Drag Race audition tape to Ryan’s early hosting cringe, they revisit the moments that shaped their paths. They spill on slutty massages, self-care routines, awkward exes, and what it means to grow up queer in Denver and Nashville. They dig into fandom drama, fashion fails (fake gauges included), and even why WALL·E might have predicted our future. If you’re HIGHKEY! vibing with us, come hang on Patreon!
