In today’s episode of Highkey, Ryan and Yvie are diving into everything—from Black representation in the Olympics to Yvie’s family background and the hilarious shock of Ryan finding out her mama isn’t white. They get real about interracial relationships and unpack the visibility (and lack of) of Black queer love on screen.

In this episode, Willam is in the studio and absolutely nothing is off-limits. We talk about wanting to be famous, what fame actually costs, and how OnlyFans changed the game when it comes to owning your image and making your own money. Willam gets real about RuPaul controversy, speaking out when it’s not popular, and what happens behind the scenes of Drag Race. Plus, we dive into being a sexual being in the public eye, confidence, control, and turning authenticity into power.

Ryan and Yvie are back in the studio with the one and only Trinity The Tuck, and nothing is off-limits. The three dive headfirst into drag queen hookups, drag queen sisterhood, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 7, being a drag parent, whether Trinity would ever compete again, and how queens end up clocking who’s taking the crown long before it’s handed out. Trinity The Tuck is VERY honest—and it’s exactly what we needed in this HIGHKEY episode.

Ryan and Yvie are live in the studio hosting Naomi Smalls. These three walk down memory lane talking all things RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8, Naomi’s distaste for authority and how she’s unlocking her fullest potential in this next stage of her life. Our favorite Virgo “control freak” gave us exactly what we needed during this new episode of HIGHKEY!  Comment end .

We’re BACK! Ryan and Yvie are catching up on 2025 and gearing up for 2026, spilling on OnlyFans, nude festivals, porn, spicy card games, therapy… and the longest they’ve gone without sex. It’s messy, hilarious, and totally unfiltered, full of confessions, laughs, and “did they really just say that?” moments. Part life update, part therapy session, part chaos—this episode is pure Highkey! energy.

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.

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.

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.
