I don't hate you, you're just tacky. Sooooo much to catch you up on. We've been on sabatatial since going back n forth with the network over contracts, money, bigger trailers. You know how it is. But we've stayed busy and can't wait to catch you up on all of it. the proof is in the pudding as they. And the chai pudding we're serving up in this episode is not to be missed. Is Syd actually the life of a showgirl? Is Wyatt getting plastic surgery on his feet in Guatemala, and maybe not returning? Will we both be performing at Bloomington Pride this weekend?! You better listen to find that out, and so much more!   XoXO, 2DC

With bated breath, we present our Season 2 finale, packed with our wildly hot Academy Award opinions (after only seeing 10% of the films). We share key future dates, including a birthday show for one effervescent flightless bird and local drag queen. Plus, we have important health updates! Don't worry we haven't killed each other, yet! We cherish this season's fun, guests, and adventures. Stay tuned for our return after some R&R! Stay dirty out there! Xoxo, 2DC

Our conversation with Cyan Carey is a delightful chat about her life and recent experiences. A talented artist who's graduated and thriving, she shares her creative inspirations and process. She gives insights into her life in Chicago, from city adventures, baked goodies, hot spots, hot tonks, and of course, city rats who know how bounce on it crazy style. Cyan, with her Sagittarius sun, Capricorn moon, and Gemini rising, is steadily rising to the top, proving that while she may have left btown, its spirit remains with her. We reminisce about past memories, beefs, and sweet treats, and of course we'd be remiss if we didn't get her thoughts on recent movies.  We live, we laugh, we love you Cyan!  xoxo, 2DC

Our Grammys rundown coming in HOTTOGO! Awards are fake af but how about those speeches & looks, eh? And what a nice pop culture distraction from the dismal and grey. Stay informed babes!

Anyways, we hope you're taking care of you and enjoy the episode. Most importantly, thank you Beyonce! XoXo, 2DC

Desiree, the current Miss Gay Black Indiana Newcomer of Naptown honors us with a lovely conversation. She recently surprised her partner of 14 years with a proposal and shares her passion for the drag world! She highlights the art and creativity of drag, offering a positive breakdown of the performance scene. Drag performers often come from local communities, and Desiree explains how important that is and exemplifies that experience and unique artistic expression. The recommendation is to attend a local drag show and perhaps even try it yourself. Tune in to hear Desiree Bouvier's insights, and enjoy some dirty chais for the ride!
