READERS, this season’s been so long, Kyle’s another year older! To celebrate the occasion, Jake Leizear is back to chat with the birthday boy about terribad autotune, staring at the ceiling during performances, crawling on the floor when asked, natty Xtina wigs, and the “I’m a mouse - duh!” shenantergins of the final performance episode of season 14, “Catwalk!” In 10 days we’ll have a winner, baby - who’s it gonna be?!

READERS, are we at the penultimate performance episode of the season?! Returning to the Shade Table with Kyle this week is the newly and dually citizenshipped Gary Goldman, complete with overly seltzer alcoholic bevvies and a litany of opinions! We're discussing standup vs. roasts, immortal fascinating show stopping ingenue SUPER HAPPY TO BE THERE Norvina, ignoring feedback from the judges, terribad Frankenstein runway audio and the queens attempts at roasting the “hilarious” Ross Mathews! ***SPOILER ALERT*** if you’re an eager beaver reader listening to this in the 18 hours before the next episode airs: at the 1 hour 2 minute and 30 second mark, we briefly discuss the potential outcome of episode 14, so jump back in at the 1 hour 5 minute mark if you want to remain unspoiled!

READERS, have you heard that being vegan just makes you better than other people? Well Kyle got an afternoon of reminders courtesy of Dr. Ben and special West Coast visitor Katie Kaitchuck! The sound effects run rampant, along with thoughts on the corpse of ANTM, residual trauma from Snatch Game, editing (or lack thereof), the Broadway show with beef you should be seeing, and the quality of this week’s Rusical, “Moulin Ru”! (We also get REAL excited about the sniping on the runway with the “Who should go home tonight and why?”) Twelve episodes in with still 7 queens left - will the golden chocolate EVER be seen? 🙃 (Music: bensound.com)
