"Diamonds Are Forever with Diamond Dior Davenport" - Messy Thoughts 35

MESSY THOUGHTS 35. Austin drag icon Diamond Dior Davenport joins BJ and LeBron for one of the most personal, chaotic, and genuinely moving episodes yet. Diamond breaks down the full behind-the-scenes chaos of the Majestic Ball — her 35-minute Beyoncé Homecoming tribute set — from the costume that didn't fit five days before showtime to rehearsing stage blocking in the street with duct tape. She also opens up about navigating grief, the importance of therapy, working a 9-to-5 while running a full drag career, and the music journey that started with loss and ended with an eight-song album. We hear the full story of the bad producer who lost her vocal stems, how Julian changed everything, and why her new song might drop before Pride is over. Plus: The Cookout makes its Davenport edition debut — and Kennedy Davenport ends up exactly where you'd expect. Happy Pride, y'all. This one hits different.
