    THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK: AURORA MATRIX

    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. 👑 STAY THiRSTY 💦 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK: SAMI LANDRI

    Fresh off Canada’s Drag Race Season 6 and straight into Canada’s Drag Race All Stars, Sami spills on what it was really like going back-to-back before her first season had even aired, whether competing so soon was an advantage, and how her competitive mindset completely changed the second time around. We get into the All Stars cast, Jackie Cox’s early exit, Pythia’s unexpected run, Makayla Couture’s legendary Untucked crashout, and what REALLY happens when the cameras keep rolling after the main episode ends. Plus, Sami gives us some behind-the-scenes tea on Priyanka and Jimbo, her favourite queens from the cast, and who she thinks is the trade. Sami also gets real about the unexpected secret behind her massive social media following. From accidentally going viral to becoming one of Canada’s most-followed queens, she explains why she never wanted to look like the “perfect” drag queen—and why being a little unhinged might actually be the secret sauce. And yes, we talk about the boy behind the queen 👀, her relationship, her iconic hair, her Bad Boy haircut, and the VERY important before-and-after transformation when Velma Jones gets her hands on it. Back-to-back Drag Race. All Stars tea. Social media chaos. Hair transformations. Boy talk. And, of course, a little bit of TRASH-CHIC. STAY THiRSTY 💦 Hosted on Acast.

    THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK: THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE

    Officially our most-returned guest ever?! She's back and more unfiltered than ever. She is the moment and she is our THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK: It's Berlin aka The Girlfriend Experience! 💋 From Canada's Drag Race All Stars tea to dating as a trans woman, Berlin returns for one of our most honest conversations yet. We dive into the world of TikTok Live: the reality of dealing with hateful comments, and whether some queens are actually making more money on Live than performing at the bars. Berlin also opens up about dating, navigating "chasers," why she believes in being upfront about being trans, and the questions she wishes people would stop asking. We talk about beauty standards, body image, her experience with Ozempic, and the unique challenges trans women face while dating. Of course, it wouldn't be THiRSTY BOYS without a little chaos. We discuss Canada's Drag Race All Stars, Jackie Cox, Raven, build the ultimate dream man and tackle some a though provoking AITA. You may have watched her before, but this episode lets you get to know Berlin on a whole new level. STAY THiRSTY 💦 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK: JUICY LOVE DION

    From stealing the show on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18 to winning the Lip Sync LaLaPaRuZa Smackdown, Juicy Love Dion joins THiRSTY BOYS for one of her most honest conversations yet. Juicy opens up about falling in love just before Drag Race, the pressure of competing as a member of the legendary House of Dion, and what it was really like carrying the expectations that came with following in Morphine Love Dion's footsteps. She reflects on sharing her addiction and recovery story on national television, reveals why RuPaul pushed her to open up even more than she may have intended, and explains why she barely recognizes the version of herself she watched back on screen. We also revisit her unforgettable lip syncs against Mia Starr and Athena Dion, debate who would actually win a Dion family Lalaparuza, talk Miss Fiercalicious, behind-the-scenes cast dynamics, and play some classic THiRSTY BOYS games, including Lip Sync Trivia, "Most Likely To," and plenty of Drag Race chaos. Funny, emotional, and refreshingly vulnerable, this episode shows why Juicy Love Dion became one of the breakout stars of Season 18. Whether you're a longtime Drag Race fan or just discovering the House of Dion, this is an episode you won't want to miss. STAY THiRSTY 💦 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK: SPENCER WEST

    Bottom’s Up! He’s an internationally recognized motivational speaker, author, and disability advocate. You may know him from his viral tiktoks or for summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, I’m absolutely honored to introduce our THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK: Spencer West! You've probably seen Spencer inspiring millions online with his viral clips but this episode is about getting to know the person behind the platform. We dive into dating with a disability, meeting his boyfriend on Grindr, writing the perfect dating bio, navigating fetishization, and the biggest misconceptions people have about disabled relationships. Spencer also opens up about "inspiration p*rn," the pressure of constantly being called inspirational, responding to viral comments, and why some of the internet's most common questions still surprise him. Beyond dating, we have an honest conversation about accessibility in LGBTQ+ spaces, from why so many gay bars still aren't accessible to what he'd love to see change in Toronto's Gay Village. Spencer also shares the philosophy behind his content, his new book, Breaking Free, Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself (Hay House, May 2026), his dreams beyond social media, and what success means to him today. Of course, it wouldn't be THiRSTY BOYS without a few games along the way. We tackle Drag Race, "Would You Rather," body image in the gay community, and finish with some surprisingly powerful reflections on the biggest lies we tell ourselves. Equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and eye-opening, this is one of our most meaningful conversations yet and one you'll be thinking about long after it ends. STAY THiRSTY 💦 Hosted on Acast.

    THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK: SILKY NUTMEG GANACHE (Part 2)

    Part 2 of Silky's Special... and this time, we're really getting to know Silky Nutmeg Ganache. After spilling the tea on All Stars 11, Silky returns for Part 2, and this time the conversation turns to dating, relationships, and everything in between. From her ideal man and where she's had the most success finding dates to whether she'd rather send the wrong name or the wrong nude, Silky is as hilarious as she is honest. She even shares the precautions she takes before hooking up, why she'd rather meet someone who doesn't know her from TV, and what a date with her is really like. We also dive into her pageant days, why Drag Race never actually influenced her drag, her audition journey, and the thoughtful gestures that helped shape the queen she is today. Plus, we put Silky through another round of chaotic THiRSTY BOYS games, including our Drag Race-style bracket to determine the hottest men of the 2026 World Cup. If you've only ever known Silky as the larger-than-life performer, this episode shows the funny, flirty, surprisingly soft, and grounded person behind the drag. STAY THiRSTY 💦 Hosted on Acast.

From RuPaul's Drag Race, Canada's Drag Race vs. the World, Secret Celebrity Drag Race, ETC ETC, and now All Stars 11, the one and only Reverend Dr. Silky Nutmeg Ganache!

She reflects on choosing to step back and let other queens shine, the pressure of fan expectations, and why she's actually grateful she didn't win her original season. Away from the Werk Room, we get into dating, why she'd rather be with someone who doesn't know who she is, the realities of dating as a public figure and a capricorn, and the biggest misconceptions people have about her.

    THiRST TRAP OF THE WEEK: ATHENA DION

    From Miami to Mykonos, she has built a drag dynasty. Host, performer, drag mother, and now a queen of Season 18 of RuPaul's Drag Race, it's Athena Dion! Athena looks stunning and snatched as she opens up about creating the legendary House of Dion and reveals how she chooses her daughters, including fan favourites Morphine Love Dion and Plane Jane — two queens who couldn't be more different. We also get into what it was like watching both of them compete together on Drag Race before she ever stepped into the Werk Room herself. Then there's the history-making moment: Athena became part of the franchise's first grandmother-granddaughter lip sync. She shares how she found out the lip sync was coming, what was going through her mind in that emotional moment, and why Drag Race ultimately shattered her own glass ceiling. We also dive into dating, whether she'd ever hook up with a fan, balancing boy life and drag life, and why finding love took a back seat to chasing her biggest dream. Plus, Athena weighs in on toxic queer fandom, queer joy versus queer hate, local drag communities, and the importance of supporting queens beyond television. And because it's THiRSTY BOYS, things get chaotic: Miami versus Mykonos, who's the trade of the season, who'd survive a Dion Lalaparuza, and which queens are most likely to get arrested. Funny, thoughtful, and always unfiltered, this episode shows exactly why Athena Dion is the mother of one of drag's most iconic families. STAY THiRSTY Hosted on Acast.
