Queen of Cameo and Drag Race S17 star Kori King joins Nicole to spill her experience finding love on the set of Drag Race. Kori opens up about her on-and-off-screen romance with Lydia B. Kollins, revealing the exact moment their romance turned real, and why opposites attract.

She shares wild stories from her hustling days - from dealing with naked customers while managing a Walgreens, having a drunk mom lick her armpit during a drag show, and her journey beating Nikki Blonsky as the Queen of Cameo.

Plus, Kori breaks down the relationship drama inside her colony of 20 guinea pigs, and tells the story of a crazy hookup who just wanted to be tied to a bed screaming for help for hours. It's a wild time.
