On the Road: Daylight Savings is a Scam. 11/6/2025
We’re back on the road for the Knockout Tour, living between Delta lounges, hotel beds, and the constant hunt for decent WiFi. This week we’re catching up after a short break, talking psyllium husk miracles, Halloween chaos, and how nothing beats the comfort of being back in LA after freezing across Canada. We get into travel drama, from broken MacBooks and overpriced Ubers to marathon traffic and daylight savings confusion, plus what it’s like prepping new wigs, lashes, and looks while keeping the tour rolling. With the second half of the Knockout Tour kicking off and our LA show coming up, we’re officially in our fiber-fueled, drag-on-the-go era.

On the Road: Bike Rides in Diet America. 10/30/2025
We’re recording from the Knockout Tour somewhere in Canada, where everything feels calmer and the WiFi slightly worse. This week it’s small-town stops, no Uber, mountain views, and realizing Canada really is America without the full breakdown. We talk about the realities of touring, from aerial rigs and safety issues to keeping the show running city after city. There’s also plenty on drag Reddit drama, online hate, and the weirdness of watching people tear down queer artists for clicks. Plus a Calgary deli rave, meet and greet stories, and what we're watching while on tour.

On the Road: We are the Third Space. 10/23/2025
We’re recording literally from the back of the Knockout Tour bus. Bumping down the highway, half-delirious, but ready to rumble. This week, it’s border delays, broken zippers, cursed sleep setups, and the fine art of trying to glam on no sleep. Then we spiral into everything from French jewel heists and the Hamburglar’s origin story (??) to Walgreens rage, tipping culture, and why every drag queen has strong feelings about the self-checkout. Somewhere between UV body paint, mall nostalgia, and late-night drag philosophy, we find ourselves talking about queer third spaces, performing in red states, and what it means to bring joy on the road. It’s Halloween chaos, road exhaustion, and the soothing sounds of the tour bus en route to our next show.

On the Road: Broken Zippers & Stopped at State Lines. 10/16/2025
We’re deep in the chaos of the Knockout Tour and recording from the tour bus. From broken zippers to a truck stuck at the state line, this week is full of behind the scenes drama. We talk tour uniforms, cursed sleep setups, and why every drag queen swears by the Philips OneBlade (not sponsored). Then it’s on to haunted coffee shops covered in cobwebs, queer-baiting baristas, and how performing in red states hits different when fans tell us it means the world. Plus, UV body paint experiments, new dancers, manifesting LA dreams at fifteen, and figuring out how to be both the artist and the admin. It’s Halloween chaos, tour exhaustion, and a little bit of heartfelt drag philosophy packed into one episode.

On the Road: Cake, Motels, and Existential Crises. 10/9/2025
The No Gorge Tour rolls on and this week we’re talking life between shows, from motel rooms and bus bunks to sleep masks, noise machines, and Panera runs that turn into full-blown therapy sessions. We go deep on our favorite orders (and what happened when the sugar cookies sold out), the decline of frosting standards, and Violet’s lifelong cake obsession. That somehow leads to the seven deadly sins, gluttony as a lifestyle, and a trip down memory lane through early drag road gigs across the South, performing anywhere that would have her from Atlanta to New Orleans. From there we spiral into cultural commentary: why 2012 might have been the last time anything felt new, how dubstep and hipster fashion defined an era, and what it means when pop stars get too happy.
