• On the Road: We are the Third Space.
    Oct 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.
    Oct 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.
    Oct 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. Naturally, Taylor Swift’s new album gets a full dissection. We also talk true crime documentaries, serial killer clowns, and Violet’s idea to “kill off” her drag persona and turn her tattoos into handbags.

    It’s sugar highs, tour life, and chaotic conversation packed into one episode, and we’re taking you with us.

  • On the Road: Bunks, Nostalgia and CatDog Energy.
    Oct 2 2025

    The No Gorge Tour is in full swing and we’re bringing you on the bus. From Walmart hauls and cozy bunk makeovers to chaotic late-night tangents, CatDog nostalgia, and unexpected Britney deep-dives, life on the road has never been more unhinged.

    We share what really happens between shows, from thrifting finds and tour rituals to the random moments that spiral into full conversations like whether iPad kids might actually crash the system or how CatDog perfectly sums up our energy. We take you inside our trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, gag over the outfits and pop culture artifacts we saw there, and debate which stars actually deserve their flowers. And of course the infamous kitty litter ad makes a return because apparently that story will never die.

    It is nostalgia, chaos, and glamour packed into one ride, and we are taking you with us.
