Dogshow Divas on Their Risky Roles as Podcasters
Gays endlessly bantering without busting a single laugh? Groundbreaking.
On August 20, 2025, the most sensational conversation was released on the internet. In the predominantly-patriarchal world, two queer personalities rose and conquered most of the social media platforms, starting from Spotify and YouTube. They are the Dogshow Divas.
Catch up, blend in, and try not to snicker on their cynical takes on lifestyle, culture, and trends.
Beks-coming of the Dogshow Divas
“Kaya Pa Ba? With Baus Rufo” is a podcast series on the life and experiences of creatives and artists. This series gave birth to the current internet duo, Dogshow Divas.
Behind the catchy name are Macoy Dubs (also known as Mark Averilla) and Baus Rufo — two highly-sought content creators known for producing comedic skits and improvs.
Proving that in this special episode, Macoy and Baus talked through topics under the sun. May it be gays living a corporate life, Filipino fads and fashion, best brands, favorite food stalls in town or even the most accessible railway stations.
But, however diverse, these Divas still manage to thread these topics together and make it relevantly cohesive. They perfectly landed words that came out their mouths, and made sense out of nonsenseness.
Are they the bastions of improvisation?
Cracking in-between lines
As standup comedians, Baus and Macoy made their listeners sit and focus on this episode. Embodying Filipinos’ wit and creativity in communication, they freely jabbered topics—with minimal gossip—making their audiences nod and relate. A parasocial moment where two minds meet and craft substance.
This episode’s drollest moments include the not-naming-brands to actually dropping 39, such as McDonald’s, Market Market, Genevieve Gozum, and more. Among their most memorable lines include the banters on a Filipino fashion brand, Genevieve Gozum.
“Genevieve Gozum. First of all, saan kayo nakakita ng pangalan na parang ‘ano siya?’ Isa ba siyang popstar? Isa ba siyang retired army general? Isa ba siyang entity from marvel cinematic universe? Because the alliteration and the choice to have that letter z on your surname? My God, is it like a Disney villain? Or ikaw ba ang kinatatakutan ni Thanos? Or ikaw ba ang susunod na kalaban ni Galactus? But hindi, she chose to be Genevieve Gozum, who is a mogul of Philippine fashion.”
Dogshow Divas also made excessive critiques and suggestions that bridge the gap between their testing-the-waters prelude to flooding-brands mid-way up to end.
“Let’s talk about food stalls.”
“I mean, I really wanna start with Master Siomai.”
“Me too because there is Master Siomai and there is Siomai House.”
“Let’s talk about those two. What do you like more?”
“I really like Master Siomai only because it taps on the certain ambition that I have because dati ang Master Siomai, siomai lang siya. And then because of hard work, because of innovation, because of capital influx, nagging master siya. And I want that.”
Baus and Macoy’s lexicon also served as an edge that added to their aura. Their natural use of highfalutin words was not just gay and witty, but smart and creative—one that builds personality.
The You’ve Made It Moment
This episode is already the Divas’ Market Market performance that made way to a lot of opportunities. Thus, the you’ve made it! episode of their lives.
This pod alone gained more than a hundred thousand of viewers and became Philippines’ top podcast, and have been on #1 trending for three consecutive days. Brands, like Genevieve Gozum also increased their online searches.
Beyond those achievements, the most anticipated moment includes the newly-launched YouTube channel of their own, Dogshow Divas with Baus Rufo & Macoy Dubs. The channel started around September, and currently has 16 episodes to stream.
So, if you are looking for a pod that brings neverending laughter, and relatable wits and banter, the Dogshow Divas’ channel is one click away from your screen. Love & light, the number one listener of the Dogshow Divas.
