In today’s episode of Highkey, Ry and Yvie are joined by Brandon Kyle Goodman for a special crossover episode with Tell Me Something Messy. Together, they get into guilt, pride, and the ever-evolving conversation around identity, unpacking the differences between being "gay" and "queer" and why those labels can mean something different for everyone.

Brandon opens up about letting go of shame, embracing who they are, and the freedom that comes with showing up as your full self.

Head over to Tell Me Something Messy to listen to part one of the conversation!

In today’s episode of Highkey, Ry and Yvie break down both sides of the Patagonia vs. Pattie Gonia lawsuit and why the internet is so divided over the case. They unpack the trademark dispute, the arguments from each side, and what the controversy reveals about branding, identity, and influence in the creator era.

Plus, is celebrity culture dead? Ry and Yvie get into whether fame means anything anymore, if Hollywood has become oversaturated, and why social media creators may be commanding more attention than traditional movie stars. Is everyone famous now, or is celebrity itself becoming obsolete

In today’s episode of HIGHKEY! Ryan and Yvie are all over the place-from Christian music trauma to dive bars, men, and the eternal NY vs LA debate.

They also get into “doorbell friends” and what adult friendships actually look like… PLUS! Jay Kay joins the show from The Boulet Brothers' Dragula.

And we have to ask… Do Jay Kay and Yvie lowkey look alike or is it just us?

In today’s episode of HIGHKEY! Ryan and Yvie are diving into everything. 😌

They get into what it really means to be an “alt gay,” their thoughts on Addison Rae, and all the chaos that came out of Coachella (because… where do we even start?).Then they get into The Drama, sharing their unfiltered thoughts on the film—including their take on Zendaya being surrounded by white characters, and whether that choice actually adds anything to the story… or just raises more questions PLUS they get into the RuPaul's Drag Race finale

So… are they actually on the same page, or is this about to turn into a full-on debate?

And more importantly—where do you stand on it all?

In today’s episode of HIGHKEY!, Ryan and Yvie are building their ultimate Mount Rushmores… and yes, it gets very opinionated 😌
They break down their Disney picks AND—more importantly—their drag queen Mount Rushmores (because priorities). Do they actually agree, or is this about to turn into a full debate?Plus, the real question… did Ariana Grande basically choose Yvie as one of hers?! 👀And of course, they want to know: who would make your Mount Rushmore?

In today’s episode of HIGHKEY!, Ryan goes OFF about camping and why he absolutely refuses to do it.  Which somehow leads straight into Coachella talk, festival delusions, and what people are really willing to endure for a vibe.Then things take a turn as they get into the Kanye conversation… like, who is STILL defending him and what’s the reasoning?? 👀

Plus, Ry sounds off on AI—whether it’s genius or giving “we’ve gone too far”—and if he’s actually okay with where things are headed.
