  • Scams, Sequins, and Sorcery.
    Aug 28 2025

    We’re back with scams, sequins, and sorcery. This week we cover everything from almost getting conned on Facebook Marketplace to being gagged at the Magic Castle (dice tricks, dress code, the whole Victorian fantasy).

    Between buying sketchy feather fans from the internet, getting scammed on Etsy chiffon, and debating if the Home Depot Oval Office is the biggest rip-off of all, we’re deep in fraud fatigue. Of course, there’s also tour rehearsals, dancer costumes, Addison Rae, and the eternal Britney Spears question: what would we pay for her comeback tour? (Spoiler: anything. Literally anything.)

    If you’ve ever ignored a “suspicious bank alert” text, bought fake couture on Etsy, or wished Hannah Montana would open for Miley on an Eras-style tour… this episode is for you gorge.

  • It’s Gottmik’s Birthday! Tour Prep, Gifts & a Leo Breakdown
    Aug 21 2025

    We’re knee-deep in tour prep — rhinestones, fog machines, canceled rehearsals, and one very scary costume sketch session. Oh, and it’s Gottmik’s birthday. This week we pop champagne, drag America’s two-week vacations, and debate what being a Leo really means (spoiler: dramatic, loyal, stubborn, iconic).

    Between unhinged birthday gifts (chains, swords, and bridal rosaries), the chaos of self-producing 50 cities, and our eternal astrology meltdowns, this episode is a full ride. If you’ve ever tried to survive drag tour rehearsals, thrifted couture at the last minute, or prayed your props would actually show up on time — this one’s for you.

    Aug 14 2025

    We’re kicking off the Knockout Tour in Violet’s hometown of Atlanta with three true drag legends: Nicole Paige Brooks, Phoenix, and Brigitte Bidet.

    This is a crash course in what makes Atlanta drag so fierce, gorge. We’re talking drag competitions, tour chaos, iconic Atlanta nightlife, and the punk-rock honesty that still keeps these queens on top.

  • Tour Prep and the Photos We’ll Never See.
    Aug 7 2025

    This week we’re planning our tour and reflecting on years of photo shoot disasters. From blurry “art” edits to glam teams with too many ideas and not enough taste.

    We talk photographers who ghosted us, shoots that never came out, and what it’s like seeing your face printed in a book… that you didn’t approve. Plus: the fish truck couture shoot, copyright chaos, and a Grindr run-in that started with a car crash.

    Coming Soon: THE KNOCKOUT TOUR — featuring high drag, show-stopping aerial, lip sync battles & live performances of our new music! Get ready! We’re coming to a city near you. Tickets available now: https://events.seated.com/violet-chachki-gottmik

  • We just dropped our first single together !!!
    Jul 31 2025

    This week’s episode dives deep into the curse of post-Pride burnout, international underwear party confusion, and the kind of real-life fistfight that ends up inspiring a full-blown music video.

    We’re talking stories from Amsterdam, shady exes with suspicious tattoos, and a Grindr etiquette debate that gets dangerously philosophical. Oh, and somewhere in the middle of it all? We made a music video. And yes: punches were thrown, wigs were lifted, and one of us may or may not have cried in a corset.

    If you've ever stood in a warehouse with no A/C, trying to serve face while dodging an actual punch from your drag sister... you might be entitled to compensation. Or at least a front-row seat to the TKO music video premiere. It drops right after this episode.

    PS: We’re going on tour. Like, a real one. With aerialists and live vocals. Get tickets gorge!

  • Prepping for Tour (and Spooky Season).
    Jul 24 2025

    We’re back in the studio and finally dusting off the No Gorge camera. This week, we’re prepping for tour and catching up on everything we missed: broken business class seats, near-fights on planes, Fire Island infections, and one man’s breath that still haunts us.

    We break down what makes a DJ set actually work (hint: not overplanning), why lyrics matter, and how to survive a conversation with a drunk twink mid-mix.

    Also: Halloween is basically here, Spirit Halloween is live, and we may or may not be fighting again.

    Leave a comment if you've ever had to fake smile through rotting breath.
