This queen has survived the Werk Room, our personal online feud, and now is trying to survive against 99 other people. From RuPauls’ Drag Race S14 and All Stars Season 10 and now a contestant on FOX’s 99 to Beat, please welcome our THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK, the diabolical baddie - It’s Daya Betty!

Daya Betty joins THiRSTY BOYS to talk about her time on the FOX competition series 99 to Beat, how she prepared to compete against 99 people, whether her Drag Race skills came in handy, and what it was really like stepping into a completely different kind of reality competition.

Then we get into the drama. We revisit our online feud, my original “Daya Bully” comments, the DragCon runway controversy, and the aftermath that resulted in a cancellation. We hash it out and get into the bigger question: who actually gets to critique drag queens and reality TV?

We discuss Daya's personal transformation and evolution throughout the years, her drag journey and what it was like competing with Ginger Minj on All Stars. And she answers the age old question - are people scared to be TV villains?

Drama, 99 to Beat, Drag Race, and a little bit of accountability. 🍿

Bottom’s Up! This week’s THiRST TRAP is comedian and content creator Michael Henry!

Michael joins me for a hilarious and unfiltered conversation about gay culture, dating, comedy, and the internet. We get into the differences between Canadian and American gay culture, from Toronto vs. LA nightlife and gay gyms to why Michael says Canadians are nice enough to make him want to move to Canada.

He also gets real about his journey from sketch comedy and stand-up to viral street interviews, how he plans his content, and the videos that blew up — including some of his most unhinged viral moments. We talk about his dream of becoming an actor, why making gay content can sometimes be a tough lane, and what it’s actually like building a career around being unapologetically gay online.

And, of course, we get into his love life. Michael talks about being single, his dating history, what makes Virgo partners difficult, Grindr, relationships becoming more open or closed, and whether sex really can be completely emotionless.

Plus: Soy Boys, gay gym culture, nude tanning, skincare and different types of toxes, foreskin talk, a very chaotic mock street interview.

It’s funny, raunchy, very gay, and a perfect introduction to the man behind some of the internet’s funniest street interviews.

From runner up and fan favourite to competing on the first season of Canada’s Drag Race All Stars, to freshly crowned as our newest champion, it’s Canada’s Ultimate All Star, please welcome our reigning queen, it’s time for her dynasty, our THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK - it’s Aurora Matrix!

Our reigning queen joins THiRSTY BOYS fresh off her historic victory to talk about what it actually feels like to reach the pinnacle of Drag Race, whether she’s satisfied with the crown, and what’s next now that she’s checked this goal off her list. And trust us… Aurora has BIG plans, including taking her drag to Asia.

We get into the strategy behind Canada’s All Stars, including live voting, the “weakling” strategy, and whether losing huge competitors like Jackie Cox and Pythia early in the competition actually worked in Aurora’s favour. She also spills on Pythia’s fan-vote strategy, THAT diss track, and the fact that people are thirstier for those Twitter nud3s that we may have realized 👀

But there’s plenty happening outside the Werk Room. Aurora opens up about her drag daughter, her plans for the Powderpuff Girls with fellow winner Van Goth and Perla, and her relationship with her actor boyfriend, Matthew Finlan, who she may or may not have been thinking about while filming Drag Race All Stars.

We talk entertainment power couples, why they haven’t hard-launched yet, and whether we could ever see them working together on screen.

Plus: Drag Race Vegas, Hong Kong drag, which queens she thinks deserve another shot, who from her cast could conquer another reality show, and whether she’d ever do more reality TV!

From fan favourite to reigning champion, this is Aurora Matrix in her winner era. 👑
