    EP 267: Hotties Assemble

    Abbey Nights & Petty Delights 🔥💅🌈 It’s just the girls—Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess—and the energy is chaotic, caffeinated, and just a little bit delusional (the way we like it). ✨ This week, Viki introduces a new segment breaking down the highs and lows instead of the usual play-by-play—and honestly? Growth.🎤 Ari still hasn’t made it to karaoke at Stonewall (we’re starting to think it’s a myth),🌴 and Viki has a full out-of-body moment meeting Doechii at The Abbey. Yes, she levitated. Yes, we have questions. 💎 Between the Seams (Patreon Exclusive):👀 Ari spills drag family drama that is piping hot and mildly incriminating.💋 Viki continues her sexcapade saga—this time featuring an influencer and questionable decisions. 🔥 Flaming Topics:🏀 Klay Thompson is acting like a complete fool and the girls are not holding back.👑 Madonna pulls up to The Abbey on Saturday…💚 …and then Doechii follows it up on Sunday—because apparently that’s where legends clock in now.🧙‍♀️ The internet claims Etsy witches are out here putting hexes on Klay, and honestly? The evidence is stacking.🎬 The Michael biopic opens to massive numbers, while The Devil Wears Prada 2 starts its marketing rollout—fashion girls, stand UP. It’s shady, it’s sweaty, it’s West Hollywood at full volume—and yes, somebody mentioned bedbugs. 🛏️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheshadeparadeMerch: https://shadeparadepod-3.creator-spring.com/Instagram & TikTok: @shadeparadepod Don’t forget to Like, Comment, Share, and Subscribe to help boost the algorithm and grow the show! #TheShadeParade #ComedyPodcast #PopCulturePodcast #LGBTQPodcast #QueerPodcast #Doechii #TheAbbey #WestHollywood #Madonna #KlayThompson #MichaelBiopic #DevilWearsPrada2 #DragRacePodcast #EntertainmentPodcast

    Ep 266: Mother Fu_kn Mary

    Capitalism, Critiques & C*nty Cinema 💅🔥🎬 It’s just Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess this week, and the dolls are TIRED. Like, late-stage capitalism is kicking everyone’s ass tired. 💸 We kick things off talking about work stress, survival mode, and the delusion required to keep showing up to jobs that don’t deserve us. Then we pivot (barely) into travel plans, because if we’re going to suffer, it might as well be somewhere cute. ✈️✨ Of course, we also get into that RuPaul’s Drag Race finale—and let’s just say… we have notes, complaints, and a few conspiracy theories. 👀 💎 Between the Seams (Patreon Exclusive):This week is EXTRA shady as we go in on the queens we don’t like. No names spared, no feelings protected. If you know, you KNOW. Then it’s time for Flaming Topics: 🎬 Mother Mary gets an early screening courtesy of Viki—and baby… she has thoughts. Are they good? Are they chaotic? You’ll have to listen.👑 RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 11 is officially announced, and we’re already preparing our opinions.🎤 Mariah Carey gets snubbed (again??), and we are NOT okay.🏡 Pink buys a house, Lizzo sells one—real estate is the real celebrity sport. It’s shady, it’s stressed, it’s slightly unhinged—and it’s exactly what you needed this week. 🎧💋 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheshadeparadeMerch: https://shadeparadepod-3.creator-spring.com/Instagram & TikTok: @shadeparadepod Don’t forget to Like, Comment, Share, and Subscribe to help boost the algorithm and grow the show! #TheShadeParade #ComedyPodcast #PopCulturePodcast #LGBTQPodcast #QueerPodcast #DragRaceAllStars #MariahCarey #MotherMary #Lizzo #Pink #LateStageCapitalism #DragRaceFinale #EntertainmentPodcast

    Ep 265: DJT (Dr. Jesus T.)

    Karaoke, Chaos & Cult Behavior 🎤🙏🔥 The trio is BACK—Ari Kiki, Viki Villainess, and DJ—and this week we’re catching up the old-fashioned way: talking mess, telling truths, and laughing through it all. 📱 Viki has a rude awakening after discovering on social media that… she might not be everyone’s cup of tea. (Shocking. Devastating. Also… expected.)🎤 Ari is stepping fully into her era as New York’s Karaoke Queen, booked, busy, and hitting notes and nerves.🎙️ And DJ’s mic is choosing violence this episode—specifically aimed at Viki. The tension? Delicious. PLUS: We’ve got an extra-long “Behind the Seams” segment over on Patreon for the dolls who want even MORE unfiltered chaos. Then it’s time for Flaming Topics: 😳 Katy Perry gets a little too cozy with Ruby Rose, and the internet has… thoughts.🏛️ “DoorDash Granny” somehow makes her way to the White House, because at this point, why not?🙏 And in the most unhinged development yet, the rise of “Dr. Jesus T.” (aka Trump) has people praying, praising, and fully leaning into the chaos. It’s messy, it’s ridiculous, and it’s everything you come to The Shade Parade for. 🎧💅 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheshadeparadeMerch: https://shadeparadepod-3.creator-spring.com/Instagram & TikTok: @shadeparadepod Don’t forget to Like, Comment, Share, and Subscribe to help boost the algorithm and grow the show! #TheShadeParade #ComedyPodcast #PopCulturePodcast #LGBTQPodcast #QueerPodcast #KatyPerry #RubyRose #TrumpNews #NYCKaraoke #PodcastCommunity #EntertainmentPodcast #WeeklyPodcast

    Ep 264: Trick Mami

    Tired, Turnt & Telling Everything 💅🔥😴 The dolls are EXHAUSTED this week, and for good reason. Viki Villainess, Ari Kiki, and DJ are all back in the studio, running on fumes and bad decisions, ready to unpack a week full of chaos. 🎬 Viki is fresh off a whirlwind of secret Hollywood parties, and you already know she’s got stories she probably shouldn’t be telling (but will anyway).🏨 Ari is tired from… let’s just say renting hotel rooms by the minute. Don’t ask questions you’re not ready to hear the answers to.🦠 And DJ is recovering from COVID, because even illness can’t keep him away from the mess for too long. Then we dive into Flaming Topics, where the headlines are as wild as our week: 🎤 Trick Daddy gets invited to perform for the good good at the AKA convention—and yes, we unpack exactly what that means.🗑️ We take a trip into the basura to see what Kanye West has been banned from this time—because the list just keeps growing.🌈 A quick update on Lil Nas X, because the girls stay booked, talked about, and controversial.⛴️ And the real question: Is the Staten Island Ferry getting a bar again? Because if so… we might finally be boarding willingly. It’s messy, it’s unfiltered, and everyone’s just a little bit delirious. Exactly how we like it. 🎧✨ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheshadeparadeMerch: https://shadeparadepod-3.creator-spring.com/Instagram & TikTok: @shadeparadepod Don’t forget to Like, Comment, Share, and Subscribe to help boost the algorithm and grow the show! #TheShadeParade #ComedyPodcast #PopCulturePodcast #LGBTQPodcast #QueerPodcast #TrickDaddy #KanyeWest #LilNasX #NYCStories #EntertainmentPodcast #DragPodcast #WeeklyPodcast

    Ep 262: Live, Laugh, Loads

    Fast Content & Faster Opinions 📱🔥💅 It’s just Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess this week, and baby… they are MOVING. ⚡ We kick things off with Ari absolutely speed-running through content consumption like it’s an Olympic sport, nothing is finished, everything is judged.💼 Meanwhile, Viki brings some actually good news from work (we know, shocking), and for once the vibes are… optimistic? Don’t get used to it. Then we slide into Flaming Topics, and the foolishness is GLOBAL: 🎤 The The Pussycat Dolls are back, but noticeably missing one controversial member, and honestly… the group chat feels lighter already.🧙‍♂️ The internet’s loudest incels are spiraling over Black casting in the new Harry Potter series on HBO Max, and we’re here to remind everyone: magic isn’t just for the pale and pressed.🍲 And the question dividing households everywhere: Is Mama Tina’s gumbo actually good… or just famous? We investigate with zero credentials and plenty of opinions. It’s quick, it’s chaotic, and it’s exactly what you need, because why live, laugh, love when you can live, laugh, loads? 🎧✨ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheshadeparadeMerch: https://shadeparadepod-3.creator-spring.com/Instagram & TikTok: @shadeparadepod Don’t forget to Like, Comment, Share, and Subscribe to help boost the algorithm and grow the show! #TheShadeParade #ComedyPodcast #PopCulturePodcast #LGBTQPodcast #QueerPodcast #PussycatDolls #HarryPotterSeries #HBOMax #RepresentationMatters #Beyonce #MamaTina #EntertainmentPodcast

    Fashion, Fame & Follicle Foolishness 💇‍♀️✨🔥 The gang is ALL here this week! Ari Kiki, Viki Villainess, and DJ, and everyone’s bringing a little chaos to the function. 😤 Ari is navigating some workplace drama (HR is definitely listening),☄️ DJ narrowly escapes what he swears was a Midwestern meteor shower and a black out party👗 and Viki gives us a brief history of fashion that somehow turns into a masterclass in shade and silhouettes. Then it’s time for Flaming Topics, and baby… it’s a MIX: 📱 Jules Lebron opens up about substance issues after going viral on TikTok. Because fame is fast🧵 John Galliano designing for Zara?! Viki has THOUGHTS, feelings, and possibly a protest planned.💇‍♀️ Cardi B enters the beauty space with a new haircare line. Do we Like It Like That or should we just be streaming “Bodak Yellow” again?🧛‍♀️ The Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot at Hulu is officially dead (again), and we mourn what could have been. Oscars talk🚌 And finally, the one, the only Billy Porter serves up kitty cat bus driver wigs—and honestly? We’re still processing. It’s fashion, it’s foolishness, it’s full-on Shade Parade chaos.

    Ep 260: Gimme Less

    It’s just the girls this week as Ari Kiki and Viki Villainess hold it down while DJ is away. Ari is feeling the pressure from work and contemplating some new tattoo inspiration, because sometimes the only way to deal with stress is permanent ink and a little chaos. Meanwhile, Viki is living her best fashion fantasy and sharing stories from her work with Dior, and yes, the girls want all the glamorous details. For Flaming Topics, things are a little lighter this week (well… lighter by Shade Parade standards). We get into the latest headlines surrounding Britney Spears after reports of a new DUI arrest, spiral briefly into the something sick, sad, and suspicious happening in the government (again), and then cleanse our spirits by talking about some of our favorite movies, shoes, and Broadway shows that are currently giving us life. It’s a chill episode filled with laughs, pop culture tangents, and the kind of conversations that only happen when it’s just the two hosts and a microphone.
