A podcast where two squirrel friends (Stephan Lee and Arielle Dachille) break down the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent within the latest episode of Rupaul's Drag Race. Also, we attempt to figure out who Morris is (Rigga morris, gurl).

We've arrived at the (almost) finale! This week, we've taken a trip to the city full of sin that Dahlia Sin does NOT call her hometown. Vegas, baby! Join us as we swirl, twirl, boom, cack, and pop through Season 12's penultimate number.
This week we live vicariously through superfans gettin snatched on the runway! Also, does Rupaul keep an apartment in addition to his fracking estate?
In the words of Jaida Essence Hall, "Look over there!" This week's episode has us registering to vote and making some tough ~choices~. We're stanning the lowkey best friendship between Jaida and Crystal, pleading with Heidi to keep her last name, and just enjoying some old school debate stage romper room f*ckery.
Are you feeling ssshoft and shupple? We sure are! Join us for this week's breakdown, as we continue to ride a Heidi and Crystal Methyd-induced high after a triumphant week for our girls. We're feeling so great, we almost forgot to be mad about the reading challenge turning into spon con. On second thought, is it actually kind of genius?
In the immortal words of Maria the Robot, what's up, bitch? We're recounting the tightest snatches from Season 12 of the Snatch Game. Hold onto your wonky cat eye contacts... it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
Welcome to Lady Bunny Memorial Hospital! We're here, ready to cure what ails ya — at least to the best of our abilities. Join us for another week in which we recap Rupaul's Drag Race from our respective bunkers.
Get those balls away from MY face! This week we're gagging on a the queens' ball-themed eleganza... Join us as we discuss saving the bees (and fracking on Ru's property, our evolving opinions of Brita and Jan, and slowly go mad from self-isolation.
Here we are, the Quarantina Turners, ready to serve you all the goopery (and pandemic anxiety) for this week. We're tearing into the first improv challenge, the aptly named "World's Worst." Will we stan Heidi again? Will we pull a Gigi Goode and 'Weekend at Bernie's' our way through this challenge? Or will be take a page out of Dahlia's book and just storm off stage? Stay tuned!
We left our farts in San Francisco, but boy are we ready to play some basketball. And by "basketball" we mean judging and celebrating another crop of men in wigs. This week, we're unpacking the second batch of the Season 12 bakers dozen, addressing the Sherry Pie scandal, and falling heels over head in love with Rock M. Sakura and all of her bodily functions.
We pledge allegiance to the drag! Young money is back in the house, and so is OKURRR... Join Arielle, and new host Kevin Trester as we gag over the Season 12 talent, the judging skills of the Barbz, and the sleeping genius of Heidi in Closet. (There has never been a better good bad drag name).
A most ribald and refreshing crownless coronation this finale has been! Join Stephan and Arielle as they rehash and reclaim all that is good and holy about this most distinguished inaugural finale of Rupaul's Drag Race UK.
May we call you THE mother? In yet another excellent episode of Drag Race UK, the dolls get visited by their loved ones for another Family Resemblance challenge! We unpack all the makeovers, the gags, puppets, and judging conflama. Get into it!
We wanna break up (bye byeee). This week on another ravishing episode of Rupaul's Drag Race UK, the dolls slay us in a girl group challenge. Work room tensions run high, Cheryl lives her all-time girl group fantasy, and The Vivienne finally shows something resembling vulnerability (sorta). Join our kiki as we break it all down.
Spice up your loife with this brand new Snatch Game to add to the Drag Race hall of fame! The UK girls delivered with an iconic Donald Trump impersonation and a downright offensive (but still funny?) Mary Berry. Geri from the Spice Girls dazzled and befuddled with her opinions and we say goodbye to a beloved queen. Join Arielle and Stephan for another posh and spicy episode of Okurrr!
Who you callin' hodge podge? This week, Arielle and Stephan break down the reasons why we're #TeamCheryl, whether Baga Chipz can rely on her personality til the end, and whether Blu Hydrangea's shade is a toot or a boot. Come join us because listening to this podcast will make your week MUCH BETTAH!
The girls are putting the ~drama~ in costume drama this week in a Downton Abbey-style overacting challenge. We're running through the BAFTA eligible (and not-so-eligible) performances, tender makeup mirror moments, and debating whether or not three tits is "too done."
'Allo guvnah! Stephan and Arielle are calling the house of drag parliament to order for the dignified task of reading the inaugural episode of Rupaul's Drag Race UK. And oy! These mingey queens are... different. We're gagging over Sum Ting Wong. We're charmed by the wooden-ness of Gothy Kendoll. And we're still falling into the gaping pit that is Cheryl Hole. Come have a cuppa' with us, ya' slag!
ALL HAIL OUR NEW QUEEN!!! Rupaul’s Drag Race crowns its Season 11 winner, and Arielle was there LIVE IN LIVING COLOR at the Orpheum theatre to report on all the off-camera goings on! Stephan joints to break down the three lip syncs, the final four queens' contributions to Drag Race herstory, Miss Congeniality, and where Season 11 stands in the pantheon.
We're reunited! The Season 11 queens are all together with Ru to spill tea all over the stage and air out all their dirty tights. Stephan and Arielle are here to scoop it all up, from WigGate, Rajah versus everyone, Plastique vs. Raja vs. Akeria, those reads ... Let's get it in!
We're Arielle and Stephan and we're here to make it clear! This week, we judge the top five queens as they spit rhyme and get stanky (or try to) with Ru's dance hit, "Queens Everywhere." In this final podcast before the reunion/live finale double-shablam, we debate the longevity of Branjie, sound off a little bit more about last week's disastrous lip STINK, discuss the five final looks, and ruminate on Season 11's place in the Rupaul's Drag Race canon. Let's get it in!!!
The WIGGITRY of it all! We have a LOT of feelings about this episode, and we get into all of them here. Stephan and Justin (Arielle's out on a wild bachelorette!) get into #WigGate, the riggery of makeover challenges in general, whether "family resemblances" should matter, who needs to be Top 4, and whether that lip sync — a true lip STINK — should have been a double sashay. Let's get it in!
ShaZAM, betch! Tricks are for queens, henny, because this week Ru put on a dragtacular Vegas-style magic show, and girl, we were shouting HOW SHE DO THAT at the screen ... about Silky's magical drag transformation, of course (jk). Listen as Stephan and Arielle break down the week's most tuck-poppin' sleights of hands, reverse-Shangelas, and caftan mishaps. Bibbity bobbity FLOOP.
The girls tear through another improv challenge this week on Drag Race, and we are HERE for all the stupidity. Reading is fundamental, and this gang just might be illiterate. From twerking to bogus padding, butt stuff kills in the main challenge. Plus, you can not PAY Silky to do her damn makeup. Slap on your facekini and join us as we discuss all this, along with feeling like the "Nina" in friend situations.
Would you have thrown this Snatch Game overboard? We might have, but we DEFINITELY would have saved that iconic lip sync that gave us all of our lives. Arielle and Stephan are coming at you late (sorry about that!) because they're having iconic, legendary adventures in Las Vegas, home to Coco Montrese and Derrick Barry. Put your bets on Okurrr! because kweenz be wild!
Your country breakfast is ready, henny! This week, we're breaking down the "farm to runway" design challenge, and positively living for all this (ahem) unshucked drama. Plastique gets vulnerable, Ra'jah gets pressed like a pulled pork panini, and miss Alyssa Edwards returns to role out some (totally necessary) runway wisdom. Consider the corn popped, and the children fed.
We JUMP, stretch, KICK, and SHABLAM! This week, Arielle and Stephan are grabbing their sports balls and lacing up their sports shoes to go for the gold! The queens are joined by Adam Rippon, Travis Wall, Mirai Nagasu, and Love Courtney as they train for some truly messy team performances. Arielle and Stephan talk about a questionable elimination, who definitely needs to go next, and the fate of Okurrr's title in the face of Cardi B!
It's getting OOKY SPOOKY BABADOOKY up in herrrrr! Hall-of-fame guest host Justin is back in the house to judge, shade, boot, and toot the 33 looks of the Monster Ball! (Eat your still-beating hearts out, Fashion Photo Ruview!) We kiki on up-to-the-moment developments on Branjie, the lip sync fall heard/seen/felt around the world, and Trixie Mattel's glameo in this week's Mini Challenge. Get into it!
LOOK HOW ORANGE WE ALL LOOK! Trump (aka Ginger Minj) is in the building, as are the women who orbit/enable him. Today, the queens star in 'Trump: The Musical,' impersonate Rachel Maddow, get grilled by Tiffany 'New York' Pollard, and get put through choreo bootcamp! Arielle and Stephan gab all about their she-ro, Tiffany Pollard, debate whether Joel McHale is the worst guest judge of all time, give hot takes on the SCANDALOUS Brooke-Vanjie ho-mance, and judge the Orange Alert runway. Orange you glad Okurrr! is getting all political this week? Instagram: okurrr_podcast
Praise Britney! Praise Mariah! Praise Rupaul! Stephan and Arielle worship at the altar of this week's Drag Race episode, and mama is this some juicy eucharist. Join us as we dig into the canonical performances (Vanjie! Nina!), the tickling runways (Yvie! Nina again!) and a herstory-making 6-way lip sync foretold in the book of revelation. Blessed SHE!
Wakanda forever, henny! In their first !!ACTING!! challenge, the girls reenact two of the most influential motion pictures in recent herstory: Why It Gotta Be Black, Panther? and Good God Girl, Get Out! Arielle and Stephan discuss who should win Best Actress, Best Costume Design, and Best Cookie Monster impression. Plus, Bobby Moynihan SLAYS as our new favorite death-droppin' guest judge.
Attitude check?!?! After some preseason doubts, Arielle and Stephan are LIVING for Season 11. We discuss the highs and lows of the entrances and runways, why this season feels like a throwback, the magic charisma of Miss Vanjie, and what we feel about the extraness of Silky Nutmeg Ganache. Who are your favorites? Who surprised you? Should Miley Cyrus have called security? Can boy-Miley get it? Have you ever had a cyst? Listen to OKURRR, then sound off on all the silky goodness!
Oh wait... You BOTH get a crown and scepter from Fierce Drag Jewels!!! The Drag Race Hall of Fame is now five queens deep and there's a lot of unpack. This week, Arielle and Stephan are joined by friend of the show Devin to pick through the highs, lows, and cartwheels of the All Stars 4 Grand Finale. Join us as we recover from this controversial double win, imagine Manila's hypothetical speech, critique Todrick's choreo, and debate whether or not an All Stars season can ever get things right.
I couldn't help but wonder ... if a season without Manila is vanilla, what is all stars four? Luckily, after the unwelcome goopery of last week, we got a combination made in clickbait heaven: Sex And The City, kitties, and drag queens! Arielle and Stephan dish over a fabulous Manhattan brunch about Monet's highly controversial "pink panther" look, how much better the hilarious SATC skit would have been with Manila and Valentina, and which of the remaining queens could or should win.
GIRL! We have some thoughts, and they are not happy ones. This week, we're breaking down the Judy Garland makeover challenge, Valentina's 'Rent'(not so live) performance, and this week's SHOCKING and heart breaking elimination. Our hosts are more bothered than Michelle Visage when she somehow can't clock a very obvious family resemblance.
Has it kicked in yet?!! This was the most bizarro, gonzo, psychedelic, controversial, problematic episode in a minute ... and we loved it ... sorta?! We work through our feelings about Latrice's return, the hallucinogenic club challenge, the enigmatic Susanne Bartsch, Valentina's unforgettable Werq Room persona, the celebrated debut of Pit Crew member Bruno, the riggery of the judging, and a nasty, rotted, ooky-spooky lip sync that had Arielle and Stephan gagging ... but for different reasons. Come on into our clurrrrrb, you're on the list!
Just when you thought you had enough Drag Race, Season 11 unveils 14 new queens (plus a Vanjie!) who are itching to goop us all over. Arielle and Stephan speculate wildly on who will be in the Top 4, who will be the villains, who will snatch the crown, and who will snatch our hearts. Don't worry, we also watched the messy two-hour live stream starring Adam Rippon and Aquaria so you don't have to (seriously, don't watch it, except for maybe Silky Nutmeg Ganache's segment). Also, Alexis Michelle has an ad for Manhattan Mini Storage. STUNNING!
Get ready to lip sync for your LIFE... LIFE... LIFE... In this episode, Arielle and Stephan gag over the truly heart-stopping lip syncs of LALAPARUZA, address the newly-returned queens and their various vendettas, and swoon over a very adorable/ scared new pit crew member named Wilson. Is there a hot dog I can eat or something?!
America, where's the slime? Cuz we're gooped! In this super-sized episode, Arielle and Stephan get into THAT crazy twist, the controversy of Manila's maxi pad dress, Cecily Strong's iconic judging, and the rotted magic of Lady Bunny. Buckle up, hennies, because we're going deep!
Was Jersey Justice served this week on All Stars 4? When it comes to those accents, nevah... We're picking apart our toots, boots, and shoots of this week's episode, giving Monique Heart the true appreciation she deserves, and discussing a shocking elimination. To cheer yourself up, just remember that "GTL" officially has been converted in meaning to "giant titty lady" — thanks Valentina.
Snatch Game is back henny, but it looks a little different ... kinda like whenever you see Trinity The Tuck's face! Snatch Game Of Love serves up ALL the controversy, mess, and high points, including a hi-larious Caitlyn Jenner Impression and a spectacular meltdown courtesy of one Miss Gia Gunn. Fall in LOVE with this episode of the podcast with Arielle Dachille and Stephan Lee, and strap up your gladiator sandals for all the boots the house down realness coming your way!!!
Who the F*CK is Heathuh? She might actually be Gia Gunn... This week, we're breaking down all the gorgeous romper room fuckery of the Super Girl Group challenge, henny. But mostly, we're paying tribute to the diabolical villainess that is Gia Gunn and her bouncy ponytail. In addition, we debate whether Farrah Moan knows who THE "Henny" is, discover Trinity The Tuck's top row of teeth, and much more.
THEY'RE BACK! And so are Stephan and Arielle! We can all breathe a non-stanky sigh of relief (no thanks to Jasmine Masters) that this new season of All Stars has bid a "thank u, next" to AS3. The 10 returning queens are in BROWN COW STUNNING form, America, and we're here to break down all their looks, reads, the return of Latrilla, and a U.S.-hOe tour drag variety show that honors and entertains and audience full of LGBTQ service people. And it must be said: Gia Gunn has inducted herself into the reality TV hall of fame. Come awn, snatch!
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! The All Stars 4 Cast has been announced, so Arielle and Stephan broke their hi-hey-hey-hey-tus to gag all about our fab new All Stars. One of the many reasons AS4 will be better than All Stars 3 is that we will be talking about every single episode! Make sure to join us on Dec. 14 for weekly recaps of AS4. In the meantime, listen to us as we predict, shade, and celebrate the ten returning queens. We got our Blue Wave, and now we're bracing ourselves for a GOOP-wave. All Stars 4 is gonna be lit!
So many questions this week! Why did Kameron Michaels kick sister Asia O'Hara out of her meet and greet? Why is Morgan McMichaels our new hero? Who is Alyssa Edwards dating? Trixie and Katya are returning are returning with Unhhhh— but to what medium?! Then, we continue our Season 5 ru-watch with the Rupaul Roast (season 5, episode 7), and revel in the ahead-of-its-time stand-up comedy of one miss Alyssa Edwards. Can i get a gay-men?
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Alyssa Edwards' Netflix series 'Dancing Queen' and Lady Gaga's 'A Star Is Born' both came out this week, and our jaws (and our titties) are on the floor. In this SUPER-SIZED, un-proportionized episode, Arielle and Stephan slay the dual BEASTS that are these two pop culture juggernauts. Spoiler alert: We love one of these things way, way, way better than the other. We get into Alyssa's crazy dance moms, her intense family drama, and the weird-ass music videos that make 'Dancing Queen' a dark twisted fantasy. Then we talk about Bradley Cooper and Gaga making an incredible gay classic for the ages. Break it up into chewable bits if you wish, but you're gonna wanna listen to this whole episode, mawma!!
Can we get an Amen? Only a a few short days til the release of Alyssa's Dancing Queen and our basements are FLOODED. Not to mention, we can't get Cher's own album by the same name out our heads. Stephan and Arielle discuss the glory of Shangela, A Star Is Born, the sp0o0o0oky new tracks of Kim Petras, and dig into the 80s supergroup recording challenge of Season 5, "Can I Get an Amen?" Put on a shiny sequins gown and join us!
Girl, we're so gagged about the T this week that we're spewing piping hot Pearl Grey from every orifice! In this drama-filled episode of Okurrr!, Arielle and Stephan reel over the T that The House Of Edwards has fallen ... if Gia Gunn is to be believed. We break down the breakup of this iconic house of glamour, gigantic personalities, and questionable celebrity impersonation talent. Speaking of which, we deep dive right into the Season 5 Snatch Game in our ongoing Ru-Watch. Strap yourselves in and make sure to stretch and kick, because there'll be a lot of death dropping in this episode!
Condragulations to Drag Race and all of us legendary children of the world! Rupaul's Drag Race won the BIG Emmy for Outstanding Reality TV Competition Program, and we're dissecting what it means for the show, for culture, for the world, and more. Plus, we continue our ru-watch of Season 5 with episode 4, in which we're treated to a ballet all about Ru's life. Let the music play!
Queens are taking over the world! This week, the Ru Girls swept the Creative Arts Emmys, Fashion Week, socially conscious ad campaigns, and A Star Is Born. As loyal drag students, we're dissecting all of it for you. Also, our Season 5 ru-watch continues as we dig into Episode 3, the infamous Draggle Rock challenge. So many classics! Tasha Salad! Lil Poundcake! Alyssa not getting cute, but getting drop dead gorgeous! Join us as we don our best Coco Montrese-style Lolita Babydoll realness and re-live it all.
Ladies, we request the floor! In this episode, Stephan and Arielle debut a new segment where we confess and defend all our most controversial Drag Race opinions. Who and what do we secretly hate? Who and what do we secretly love? Plus, we dig into the three extremely notable music video release this week from Laganja, Gia (feat. Alaska), and miss Tatianna. Come for the hot takes, stay for the Mrs. Doubtfire impressions.
