Willam Belli

Brace yourselves, Booty Gang—this week on BUTT HONESTLY , we are joined by none other than WILLAM: the drag superstar, singer-songwriter, actor, podcaster, producer, and walking scandal in heels. You’ve seen them in A Star Is Born , you’ve laughed with them on UNCONVENTIONAL , and you’ve gagged on Hot Goss over on the MOGULS OF MEDIA network. Now? They’re bringing that same unfiltered fabulousness right here. And it’s everything. Dr. Carlton and Dangilo dive deep with Willam on: Pride Season survival tactics and how they stay fabulous from gig to gig Trans rights and why advocacy isn’t optional. A definitive answer to the age-old question: What city has the best D? And of course—how to keep your hole ready while living that tour bus life. (Because a true professional stays ready.) Meanwhile, Dr. Carlton breaks down a groundbreaking new study using nanoparticles to target dormant HIV—science fiction? Nope. Just science. Then, it’s time for the return of HIT IT AND QUIT IT, featuring: A long-distance lover looking for hope. A scarred chicken pox survivor wondering if his dots are still hot. And one brave soul experimenting with figging (yes, the thing with ginger root—Google wisely). As if that wasn’t enough, the guys read a steamy listener story that’ll fog your glasses and possibly ruin your couch. Finally, they wrap it all up with their Love Lounge of the Week, reminding us that beneath the glitter, gags, and ginger root, this show’s still about love… and butts. So go on—press play, open your heart, and maybe your legs. Willam insists. 💋 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In our Season 1 finale, we go out with a bang, or shall we say a Willam?! From the age of 5, Willam Belli has wanted to be in show business. At 40, the thing that keeps this beloved drag queen inspired to do what he does is his desire to bring joy to as many people as he possibly can!
