HSSS is not your Grandma’s Regis & Kelly. It’s an online talk show that’s a little crass and a lot of sass. HSSS’s interactive social stream is a no-holds-barred he said, she said perspective on life…in real time. Recorded live, in studio and on location, every week, this sometimes-raucous tête-à-tête through the news and events happening now offers candid, and often comedic, views from two very animated personalities.
One’s a daddy. One’s a drag. One’s sharp. One’s smart. One’s high-maintenance. One’s high…on life. You get the idea.
Join Aaron “AHizz” Heier and Ophelia Later as they romp through San Diego (and all over) to imbibe and entertain with different guests at different spots each webisode. No topic is off limits and the only rule is: drinks are included. Join the conversation or show up and be a part of the action.
He Said / sHe Said LIVE!
Leading up to the January 30th season 4 premiere of “Rupaul’s Drag Race,” one of our favorite local drag personalities, the incomparable Chad Michaels, stopped by our Brass Rail studio to chat about all things drag, Ru, Cher and lip-syncing for your life. This is the second time Chad has visited HSSS.tv, but sadly our first interview was lost in the depths of cyber space. This time, we were double prepared – record button pressed – and Chad wasted no time getting down to business. Candid, hilarious and full of energy, he shared some insider deets about being on Drag Race, how he got started in drag, the wildly popular Dreamgirls Revue, becoming known as the most prolific Cher impersonator in the business and what he thinks it takes to be America’s Next Drag Superstar! Get the lowdown from the man who puts the Oh My Cher in drag…and then some. And, don’t forget to set your DVRs for season 4 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” every Monday night on LOGO or head over to Urban Mo’s and watch it with the rest of San Diego who’ll be rooting for Chad to take the title!

Ian, Courtney & Jerimiah welcomed Executive Producer Aaron to the They Said panel at our Brass Rail studio as the resident ‘transian’ (trans + lesbian) to dish this week’s list of news & topics. Hot on the list, of course, was Courtney’s favorite sport, football, and the upcoming Super Bowl. Of course, Aaron & Ian were more excited about Madonna’s half-time performance & the commercials, which now have a bracket of their own for all your Super Bowl party fun. From NFL to college, the crew discussed the rather awkwardly-announced passing of former Penn State head coach Joe Paterno. Then, they talked Oscars, Starbucks offering beer & wine, same-sex marriage in Washington state, Cynthia Nixon’s “choice to be bisexual” and our ongoing search for They Said’s resident lesbian. If you think you’ve got what it takes, email Aaron or Courtney and we’ll have you on as a guest host to test your skills. Read More
This week’s HSSS.tv LIVE from Urban Mo’s in San Diego’s gayborhood got down & dirty, after 5 o’clock shots were served. Aaron & Ophelia recapped their weekends of cocktails, trips to Lakeside and volunteering before diving waist deep into the rippled waters that are San Diego Pride. It’s no secret Ophelia has been one of the most outspoken critics of Pride’s seemingly endless clusterfuck of tweaks, turns, modifications & justifications and she wasted no time giving her 10 cents on recent news surrounding yet more changes to this year’s Pride festival that will monetarily impact several community organizations. Aaron also questioned Pride’s commitment and reciprocity to other organizations that have directly served them in past years. After letting that Pride dust settle, we moved on to L.A.’s pending law making condoms mandatory in porn movies shot within the county, and the great Girl Scout Cookie controversy, which Aaron detailed in his first blog for GuySpy.com. Don’t forget to watch season 4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race on LOGO to root for our own favorite diva, Chad Michaels who will be a guest on next week’s show! Read More
With Coronation XL right around the corner, Aaron & Ophelia had the pleasure of chatting with the current reigning monarchs of the Imperial Court de San Diego, Emperor Allan Spyere and Empress Erika Odessa, at our Brass Rail studio. After Allan & Erika filled us in on the who, what, when, where & why of the ICSD and their 40 years of good deeds in the community, we got to chat with the candidates running for Emperor & Empress XL, the handsome Tom Dickerson and the fabulous Lady Ajax. Both shared their goals and ambitions for their reigns in the 40th year of the Imperial Court de San Diego. It’ll be a weekend full of events, pomp & circumstance, culminating in the crowning of the 40th monarchs at a gala reception taking place at the San Diego Marriott Mission Valley. Watch the entire HSSS.tv webisode for info on where to buy your tickets to any of the weekend’s events. Read More
They’re baaaaaaack! They Said hit the Brass Rail studio square table for their first chat session of 2012. Noticeably absent was our lesbian voice, Kelly, who during hiatus made the difficult decision to leave the show permanently to focus efforts on caring for her family. The entire HSSS team will miss her but know she’ll be back to fill in when she can. Courtney got Ian, Jerimiah & Alejandra talking about their time off, including family functions, new jobs, new loves & new year’s resolutions. Of course, it wouldn’t be They Said without a little Charger chat, Gaga gab or differences of opinions on everything from marriage to manscaping. This week, we welcomed new Producer Louis who’s taking over for Producer Kurt on They Said, so he can dedicate 100% to wrangling Aaron & Ophelia. And, we’re on a quest to find our new lesbian co-host. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be a part of the panel, email Aaron “why you want to participate.” Starting February 6, potential co-hosts will test their cajones LIVE during the webcast. After we’ve had each interested lesbian on-air, we’ll let you, our viewers, choose the one you’d most like to see join the cast! So, remember to watch HSSS.tv and vote! Read More
