    Celebrating the A & I, Booty Call Out, and More! | S15E02 | Live! with Fefe & Freddy

    This week, we’re shining a light on our intersex and asexual siblings. We talk about what these identities mean, common misconceptions, and why neither intersex nor ace people need to be “fixed” to fit someone else’s expectations. We also get into the importance of recognizing the full LGBTQIA+ community, not just the identities people may be most familiar with. Freddy shares the story of a packed Trunk or Treat and Queer Marketplace at Brick Road Coffee, including Drag Story Hour Arizona, a missing costume, a last-minute trip back home, and an unexpected trip to the ER. A wrong step in platform boots turned into a fractured fifth metatarsal. We’re not saying the boots are guilty, but they are definitely part of the story. Fefe catches us up on Halloween Drag Bingo, a personal challenge, and a weekend that included getting things done around the house. Then we turn to the headlines, talk politics, and remind everyone to make a plan to vote. We also explore Día de los Muertos and the traditions that honor loved ones who have passed. In this episode: Intersex and asexual identities, definitions, and misconceptions Why ace people can still experience arousal, have sex, and build meaningful relationships Intersex variations and the history of nonconsensual medical interventions Freddy’s Trunk or Treat and Drag Story Hour Arizona story The fractured foot that interrupted Freddy’s upcoming performance plans Fefe’s Halloween Drag Bingo and personal weekend update Political headlines, voting, and the importance of staying informed Día de los Muertos traditions and honoring those who have passed Thanks for spending part of your Wednesday with us.

    Season 15 Premiere | Oct. 21, 2026

    We're back! Welcome to Season 15 of Live! with Fefe & Freddy, your Wednesday night conversation. We may have needed a minute (or several) to get ourselves together, but we're kicking off the new season with a summer catch-up, a little sex education, plenty of commentary on the news, and a reminder that the midterm elections matter. First, we catch up on everything that's happened since we last sat down together. Freddy shares stories from his trip to Toronto for Thrust Fest, including connecting with fellow drag kings, performing, exploring the city, and reflecting on what made the experience memorable. He also explains how his return home turned into an ongoing dental saga. Because apparently, a relaxing homecoming was too much to ask. Fefe shares highlights from a busy summer of birthdays, music, drag events, bingo, sex trivia and community work. We also talk about the Desert Star Institute for Family Planning and its work supporting reproductive health care, including the importance of protecting access to care and gender-affirming services. Because it's International Pronouns Day, we also talk about pronouns, drag names and the ways people navigate gender and identity in everyday life. We share our own perspectives and remind everyone that showing respect doesn't have to be complicated. Then, in Just the Tip, we're kicking off the season with a conversation about anal sex and sexual health. We cover the basics, including consent, communication, taking your time, using plenty of lubricant, safer preparation, gloves and the differences between douching and enemas. We also discuss condoms and PrEP, including the important reminder that PrEP helps prevent HIV but does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections. Finally, we turn to current events. We discuss the headlines that leave us shaking our heads, Christina Applegate's reported misdiagnosis, the political obsession with renaming places, and the importance of looking beyond sensational headlines to understand what's happening with legislation. With the midterm elections approaching, the message is clear: make a plan to vote. We're glad to be back, and we're happy you're here with us for another season of stories, laughs, opinions, and conversations that matter.

    SEASON FINALE: Season 14, Summertime Blues, What's Next & More | S14E27

    For our Season 14 finale, we spent the evening doing what we do best: catching up, sharing stories, talking through what's happening in our community, and reflecting on the season we've built together. We started by looking back at a busy weekend that included Phoenix Fan Fusion, Drag Story Hour, family celebrations, and the challenges of navigating Arizona's summer heat. We shared our experiences at Fan Fusion, discussed crowd management concerns, and talked about the importance of making community events safe and accessible for everyone. In this week's "Just the Tip," Freddy tackled a topic many Arizonans understand all too well: summertime seasonal depression. While many people associate seasonal depression with winter, Arizona's extreme summer temperatures can create their own mental health challenges. We discussed practical ways to stay connected, active, and engaged during the hottest months of the year, from museums and indoor activities to finding community and making time for yourself. We also spent time discussing current events, LGBTQ+ issues, community news, and the loss of beloved Phoenix icon Regina Wells. We reflected on her impact, positivity, and the lasting impression she made on so many people throughout the Valley. As the episode came to a close, we looked back on Season 14 itself. We talked about consistency, growth, Patreon content, social media, guests, and what it means to continue showing up week after week after more than a decade of conversations. We shared our gratitude for everyone who has supported the show, joined the conversation, attended events, and helped make this season possible. Thank you for being part of Season 14. We'll see you soon for Season 15.

    Buck Wylde: King of Drag, Drag King Visibility, Pride Month & More | S14E26

    Welcome back to YOUR Wednesday night conversation. This week, we kicked off Pride Month with a special guest, Buck Wylde, from Revry's King of Drag, a drag king competition and reality show. Before our interview, we shared updates on Pride Month, upcoming events, and Freddy's annual Pride season reminder to take care of yourself during busy performance schedules. From washing costumes and airing out drag bags to staying hydrated during outdoor events, the conversation offered practical advice for performers preparing for a busy summer. Then we welcomed Buck Wylde to the show. The conversation explored Buck's experience competing on Revry's King of Drag, the first all-drag-king reality competition. He shared behind-the-scenes stories about the audition and filming process, the pressure of performing for judges, and the unique experience of helping bring drag king artistry to a larger audience. We also discussed: The growth and visibility of drag kings over the last two decadesWhat it means to be part of a groundbreaking reality competitionThe evolution of drag king performance styles and identitiesThe importance of representation in queer spacesMentoring future performers and creating opportunities for emerging kingsBuilding community across cities and regions through performance and production work One of the most compelling parts of the conversation centered on how drag has evolved. Buck reflected on developing a character over many years and how today's drag landscape allows performers greater freedom to experiment beyond traditional expectations of masculinity. We also talked about online criticism, reality television fandom, and the importance of remembering that performers are real people behind the characters audiences see on screen. The episode closes with upcoming Pride events, Thrust Fest plans, and excitement about what the future holds for drag kings and queer performance spaces.

    Down with the Sickness, Religion, and more | S14E25

    This week’s episode moved between religion, politics, current events, theater, queer community conversations, and the kind of headlines that make you stop and ask, “What is actually happening right now?” We opened with personal updates, including Freddy sharing that he’s been fighting off “some sort of crud” for nearly two weeks, plus a recap of seeing Angels in America performed in a full-day experience that lasted nearly seven hours between Parts 1 and 2. We also talked about local music, community spaces, and reconnecting with familiar faces at Thunderbird Lounge. Then we moved into “Just the Tip,” where we took a closer look at the Book of Leviticus and the way certain Bible verses are selectively used in modern political and social conversations. We discussed: Leviticus as a broader collection of laws and religious codesVerses surrounding adultery, lying, idol worship, tattoos, mixed fabrics, immigration, and loving your neighbor How some people focus heavily on one verse while ignoring the larger context of the textThe difference between faith, selective interpretation, and weaponizing religion against marginalized peopleThe conversation explored how scripture is often applied inconsistently in public discourse, especially around LGBTQ+ identities, while other teachings in the same text are routinely ignored. From there, we shifted into current events and cultural commentary, including reactions to political headlines, celebrity news, and commentary on public spectacle and accountability. We also highlighted a major moment in queer leather history as Honey Davenport won IML, sparking debate in some circles about drag representation within leather communities. This episode moves between humor, frustration, history, and commentary — asking what happens when people selectively use morality while ignoring compassion, context, and accountability.

    Flagging, Queer History, and Being Seen | S14E23

    Welcome back to YOUR Wednesday night conversation. This week’s episode moves between personal updates, queer history, and a sharp look at current events — all grounded in one central idea: how we communicate who we are, even when we don’t say it out loud. We opened with life updates, including Freddy officially becoming a Canadian citizen and announcing an upcoming performance at Thrust Fest, alongside the usual behind-the-scenes moments that keep things grounded in real life. From there, we moved into “Just the Tip,” and this week’s focus was the history of flagging in queer communities. We broke down flagging as a system of communication — visual cues, symbols, and coded language used to express identity, desire, and safety, especially during times when being openly queer was not safe or even legal. The conversation traced: The origins of flagging before the modern hanky codeThe evolution of the hanky code in the 1970s and beyondThe use of coded language like PolariHistorical examples across communities, including lesbian flagging practices and cultural symbolismHow flagging still exists today — from subtle signals to visible expressions of solidarityWe also highlighted why visibility still matters — especially in a climate where anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric continues to surface — and how even small signals can create connection and safety. From there, we moved into current events, including commentary on political narratives, public spending priorities, and ongoing advocacy efforts — including a major campaign launch by the Human Rights Campaign ahead of upcoming elections. This episode connects past and present, asking how history informs the way we show up now — and how we continue to signal to each other that we’re not alone.

    Voting Orange, Asking For Forgiveness, Headlines, and more | S14E22

    This week’s episode opened the way many real conversations do — a little unpolished, a little chaotic, and fully in the moment. Freddy began the show solo while Felicia joined shortly after, setting the tone for a conversation that moved between humor, frustration, and reflection. We started with a quick catch-up — from Drag Bingo + Cats to Cat Bingo moments that had us questioning people’s choices (yes, including that Chick-fil-A cup). Then we moved into “Just the Tip,” and this week’s focus was clear: artificial intelligence. We broke down what AI is and why it feels so divisive right now. We talked about different forms of AI, including generative tools and more advanced systems used across industries — and how these tools are already embedded in daily life. But the core of the conversation wasn’t just about what AI does. It was about impact. We discussed: The environmental cost, including massive energy use and water consumption tied to data centers The effect on artists and creative industries, including concerns about replacement and originality The impact on critical thinking and mental health, especially with unregulated use The need for regulation and intentional use, particularly in educationAt the same time, we acknowledged where AI is helping — from accessibility to medical advancements and efficiency. The takeaway was simple: AI isn’t going anywhere, but that doesn’t mean we stop questioning it. From there, we moved into current events. We discussed the controversy surrounding Caitlyn Jenner and her passport renewal being marked male despite legal documentation changes, and what that says about policy, identity, and consequence. We also reacted to political commentary, including public figures walking back past support and what it means to face the outcomes of political decisions — what we referred to as “having the day you voted for.” We highlighted advocacy efforts from Human Rights Campaign, including a major campaign aimed at upcoming elections. This episode moves between humor and accountability, asking a central question:Just because something is inevitable — whether technology or policy — does that mean we stop examining it?
