Only Child with Bob The Drag Queen

Jun 4 · 1h 9m

This week on Only Child, Bob the Drag Queen is joined by writer, actor, and professional oversharer Ryan O’Connell for a conversation that somehow covers everything from celebrity crushes and go-go dancers to New York Times bestsellers and social media brain rot. Ryan opens up about the rejection that inspired his new book, Inspiration Porn, why getting turned down by a hot co-star changed his entire dating life, and how years of insecurity, addiction, and self-doubt eventually turned into confidence. They also get into Hollywood development hell, complicated family dynamics, sobriety, queer media, and Ryan’s belief that there are only seven funny people in America. Plus: daddy issues, theater kids, internet fame, and the strange process of turning your life into art while trying not to lose yourself in the process.

This week on Only Child, Bob the Drag Queen is joined by comedian, impressionist, and internet menace, Heather Shaw, to discuss what it's like becoming wildly famous for looking like Jim Carrey, the emotional weirdness of growing up an only child, and why Bob immediately has questions about anyone who claims they “don’t watch TV.” They also get into painfully small-town energy, nightmare stand-up gigs, aggressively theatrical moms, and the strange experience of having millions of strangers think they know you because of one viral clip. Plus: dating, identity, performance, internet fame, and the very specific kind of loneliness that turns funny people into performers in the first place.

This week on Only Child, Bob the Drag Queen sits down with actress, game show assassin, and honorary Midwest icon Melissa Peterman for a conversation that somehow covers Broadway dreams, airplane etiquette, and emotionally devastating pedicures. They get into Melissa screaming at her father during family game night, Bob discovering a massage therapist was personally offended by his feet, and why no sane person should ever wear flip flops through an airport terminal. Plus: Melissa’s early career as “Hooker Number Two” in Fargo, the underground art of Reba McEntire drag impersonation, growing up theater-obsessed in Minnesota, and the Broadway moments that still make both of them cry on sight.

DON'T DO IT LITTLE GIRL! This week on Only Child, Bob the Drag Queen is joined by Emmy-winning makeup artist, internet sleuth, and Brownsville legend Lushious Massacr. They get into Lushious’ jump from behind-the-scenes to center stage, building a platform on her own terms, and why “daytime realness” is a lifestyle, not a look. Plus: a cookie metaphor that goes way too far, Bob getting labeled a “cool dude in drag”, a blind ranking that gets dangerous fast, and a heated stance on whether drag queens are allowed to clock out of drag. Also: family arguments featuring the phrase “a cross-dresser built this house” and a question for the next guest that should probably be illegal.Subscribe for WEEKLY videos: https://youtube.com/@PurseFirstStudios?sub_confirmation=1   Follow Purse First Studios:Instagram: https://instagram.com/purse.first.studiosFollow Bob The Drag Queen:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bobthedragqueenTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bobthedragqueenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialbobthedragqueen/Twitter: https://x.com/thatonequeenWatch More!Quit Playin’ with Jazmyn and Amber: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiGd_LlJEaaIIf-qzbHdGTgqaxFMLRZkNThe Purse First Morning Show: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiGd_LlJEaaKlojYelXGhUDwNIRhU7Ydn The Big Question: https://youtube.com/watch?v=49vnhc1KhA4&list=PLiGd_LlJEaaLGD6w_cXc0RsK2W9gg3mnx&pp=gAQBNewest Videos: https://youtube.com/watch?v=7BcS9k3oDLs&list=PLiGd_LlJEaaID05rLhBo52U5EWYWbDTWX&pp=gAQBMost Popular: https://youtube.com/watch?v=rv5fzcJOtmo&list=PLiGd_LlJEaaKxkNmKAAPqNh_iztFxal2C&pp=gAQB0gcJCbAEOCosWNinPurse First Studios is a creative content production company for the girls, gays and theys by RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 Winner and Traitors Star Bob The Drag Queen.

This week on Only Child, Bob the Drag Queen is joined by comedian, chaos agent, and self-proclaimed “comedy socialite” Zach Noe Towers, fresh off the release of his debut comedy special Twink Death. (Out NOW: https://youtu.be/jmIxzOLtOQo) They get into Zach’s journey from musical theater kid to stand-up mainstay, the grind behind a 15-year comedy career, and what it means to finally put out a special that feels like a true culmination of it all. He also talks about building relationships in the comedy world, staying social without burning out, and why being liked might be his strongest skill. Plus: blind-ranking comedians (and making enemies in the process), brutally honest takes on movie musicals, green text discourse that gets way too heated, and the etiquette of leaving a party without saying goodbye. And of course, stories from the comedy scene, unexpected kinks, and a very passionate debate about whether you should be allowed to pause a movie in an empty theater.
