Episode 245: HAK-Tuah!!!

Snowed In, Snowed Out, and Snowed On ❄️🔥🗽

This week on The Shade Parade, Ari Kiki, Viki Villainess, and DJ gather to unpack a week where the weather was rude, the travel was questionable, and the tea was HOT.

We start with the massive snowstorm that shut down most of the country and spiral into a very important debate: Is being a lifelong New Yorker a badge of honor—or should everyone have an escape plan? 🧳❄️

✈️ DJ spills all the details from his salacious Atlanta trip, including a near brush with the legendary Piedmont Park and why some lessons are learned the hard way.
🎂 Ari recaps her birthday celebrations, featuring lap dances, shenanigans, and memories that may or may not be fully intact.

During Flaming Topics, the girls get into:
📺 Tyra Banks returning with an America’s Next Top Model exposé coming in February, yes, we’re watching with notebooks and popcorn.
👠 RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18 contestant Briar Blush passing out during critiques in front of Law Roach, RuPaul, and Michelle Visage, a truly jaw-dropping moment.
💚 Rumors of Mark Ruffalo stepping away from Disney and Marvel’s Hulk, and what that could mean for the MCU.
💰 And Nicki Minaj, fresh off a reported check from Turning Point USA, allegedly using it to save her $20 million home from foreclosure, capitalism stays messy.

It’s chaotic, shady, snow-covered, and exactly what you’ve been missing. 🎧
