Readers, we’ll wait. Today is DEFINITELY December 23rd, and Kyle is joined by returning guest librarian Keith (black black black again), along with Keith’s sewer-dwelling tethered Dawn! The shade button is alive and well (if not a little delayed) as we discuss comedic stylings, QPOWs, problematic cis gays, “loud” white people fabrique vs. loud POC fabrique, the drama of playing Spellbreak (and what happens next will *shock* you), Wisconesottatenn…essee, A-list guest judge Debbie Blair, and how great and game all of our new queens were on the Superfan Makeover! YOU CAN LEAVE! (But after you listen to the episode kids! PLEASE!!!) (music: bensound.com)

At this point READERS, the dawls are the DAWLS! Avid dawl collector and fellow Aries Yair joins Kyle as they discuss their childhood journeys with toys and dolls, what aspects a collector looks for when expanding on their collection, the joys of getting a fresh challenge sixteen seasons into the franchise, and the many varied outcomes with the queens' foray into creating, branding and selling their signature limited edition dolls! Did the judges get it right? Which doll did you most want to add to your collection? (music: bensound.com)

Episode 222: Season 16, Episode 6 - The Dawls Are The DAWLS

Down on your knees READERS - Mother is in the spotlight! What happens when Kyle (who's kind of a bitch) and Keith (who puts your man on a leash) are drinking, having Keith cookies, and talking about made up Swedish bands? It means they're also talking latex for a mini challenge, self-producing girlies who don't think fully through their edits, being picked last in gym class, and the satisfaction of an underestimated underdog edit coming to fruition! Along with pussycat wigs (and mushroom, bus driver, Marcel finger wave and bowl cut wigs pretending to be pussycat wigs), we've got a quick (for us) rucap of Episode 5 of Season 16 of RuPaul's Drag Race - the girl group challenge! Make sure your Q doesn't heave on your angora carpet! We mean your cat. 

Episode 221: Season 16, Episode 5 - Quiet (Pussycat) Riot

SCHNAP OUT OF IT, READERS! Kyle and Keith are joined by Berlin-born, Boston based, bashful boy Patrick R to discuss hotel upgrades, stances on sketch comedy (or lack thereof), Chermit the Tiger the Frog, Babs and that emotional Eliminaysha and all that transpired in episode 4 of Drag Race Season 16, RDR Live! (music: bensound.com)

Episode 220: Season 16, Episode 4 - The Jannification of Loosey La-Q-Ca

READERS - for the Mother of All Balls, who would you have summoned to the Shade Table? ("...Pass!") Kyle is joined by Keith, Ben and Holly for a 3 hour deep dive into the season so far, being kindofabitch, those WHO AIN'T NO DIVAAAAAA, what offended them about the various presentations of the episode (spoiler alert - there's a lot of things!) and opinions on all FORTY TWO! looks from Season 16's first full cast challenge, The Mother Ball! Who are your Mother Goose and Significant Mothers, and do you agree with the final Rate-A-Queen results? Were the right winner and Porkchop selected? Let us know, maldita perra! (music: bensound.com)

Episode 219: Season 16, Episode 3 - Mom Jeans & Mother Toilets

The wait is over, reading kittens! With a new year, new season of Drag Race and new equipment to break in at the Shade Table, Kyle & Ben dive into their thoughts on heel clacking, cross-eyed titty bibs, social media mugs, flippin to flip, political posters, AI racers, bananas and rating queens in our RuCap of the split premiere episodes of Season 16 of RuPaul's Drag Race!
