they happen to be women of the trance experience.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
True. Sure, they happen to.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Be women of many many talent, a lot of experience.

Speaker 3 (03:28):

trans pop girl group that is made up of Alyssa
Rakhel Star and Domino Presley. Welcome, don thank you for
having us, Thank you for being here. So you're here

(03:52):
this weekend to perform for Atlanta Pride. You're going to
be performing in the closing ceremony. I just want to
to kind of before we get into all of that.
I wanted to allow the listeners to get to know
who y'all are, so could each of you introduce yourselves.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
My name is Alyssa. I am a Mexican trans woman
in Atlanta, struggling.

Speaker 6 (04:18):
No.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
I started out in the drag scene and music has
always been in the back of my head. And I
think it was like twenty fifteen I decided to do music,
so I've pursued that full time. I love fashion and music.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
That's fabulous.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
I'm Domino Presley. I am originally from Atlanta. I live
in California. I am not Mexican or Hispanic at all.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I'm Asian. I have changed notes.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
I'm Asian and everyone thinks I am and yeah, no,
that's a porn star.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Who doesn't music now beautiful?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Love that war a crossover We love that, Yes, our
crossover journey.

Speaker 7 (05:01):
Well, I'm Raquel and I'm Mexican.

Speaker 8 (05:07):
And I've been performing, uh since like a long time.
I don't know, since I was eighteens. I've been stages
like pretty much all my life. I'm very like used
it to be in spotlight and I always wanted to
make music, but I never really like, you know, got
into it. So I just went with a burlesque crowd. Yeah,

(05:28):
and I started working, like you know, with the club kids.
In New York City and La, I'm so performing all
the time everywhere, never my craft, honestly. And now it's
so nice to have the opportunity to like start working
with trans artists and start these journeys.

Speaker 7 (05:45):
It's doing amazing and be a.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Part of a trans pop girl.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
We tried Raquel and I tried in another group, the
Secret Girls, uh, and that wasn't It had the formula,
but it wasn't like our priorities were not.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Set as a cover band.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yeah, our egos were more so like aligned, and it's
just you know, I mean, we can start out doing covers,
but there has to be some kind of progress, and
there was no there was like a block.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
It can be very like tacky if like all you're
doing is covers, perrio, It's.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
Like, well, you can't write something yourself.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, I think it's fairly common for a lot of
like new bands to like start like just mostly doing covers.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
It's just easy.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, it's easy for sure.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Sure. Well, now that you've formed the Girls, you are
making your own original music. Tell us about how the
Girls came to be. Well, after the Secret Girls, we
tried to do a group. It didn't form. It just
kind of always was like, we start and then it
doesn't happen, and we start and it doesn't happen, and
then I was just like, well, fuck it. I'm just
want to be a solo artist and I'm going to
do my music. And I came across a song called

(06:53):
Daddy that I just wrote driving down the highway thinking
of kindergarten cop.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
When he's like, who is your daddy? What does he do?
And I was like, well, who is my daddy? Like
he's fit, he's a business, he treats me well, he
buys me stuff. And I was like, I know this girl.
Her name's Domino, and I was like, can you be
on the song? And she's always been a huge fan
of like everything that I do, and more so the
music because she comes from a music background and not

(07:18):
many people know that. So her and I just got
on Daddy and from there we kind of were like,
let's just do a duo, and then the duo turned
into a trio. I had it back to her. I
was like, please, can we do a duo? She's like, girl,
just be a feature. I was like no, Well, the
feature kind of took us on a ride that we
just didn't think that we were gonna do. And it

(07:40):
led to this because we had a lot of performances
leading up to it, and then we were just like, well,
we like performing together, why not just keep it going.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
So yeah, and I imagine it. I mean, I imagine
it's hard.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
It is.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
It sounds like in the beginning it was challenging for
you to find other people who.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Were it's hard to find the passion.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
We're serious about it.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Yeah, So the fact that we were just friends and
we were just doing a feature and it kind of
just organically formed into a group.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
And we've known each other since I pre this right
right the way back. Let's just give them a.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Date pre the dollification, before the fact, pre the delusion.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
She always yeah, so it's it's yeah, we've had a
really good connection. But Raquel, we've always had an interaction
with her in her.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
It's so funny.

Speaker 8 (08:32):
Roquel knew each other because in them Secret Girls Journey,
she jumped in once I left, I was her replacement.
She has a replacement, and then like she left and
I was like, well, you know what, let's get another shot.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (08:48):
Obviously that didn't took us nowhere, and but it was
amazing that we got to, like, h get together, I
guess in a way or like I know that we
both existed, so like when we finally like got to
meet each other, we were like, okay, so you're that
girl and she was like.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
You're that girl. I feel like they were like, now
we're the girls together.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
I hate each other. And they met each other and
they're like, yeah, because we were very ponned against each other,
like oh, she's this way, and like you're replacing her?
Is that kind of premeditated? Yeah, you know, she's more.

Speaker 8 (09:23):
Reality, we said herself, like on competition, you know, and
I was. And for me, I never like computer to anybody,
So I was just like, you know, everybody's gonna get
in their own journey. And now that we're together, we're
like what the fuck? Like we are such a good friends,
We're like so alike.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
And I won't say that in the beginning with the
Secret Girls, it prepared us to do this, like it
trained us to do it gave us the worst, like
we fought like physically we were fighting in the group
and then performing thirty minutes later, Like it was that
kind of crazy. I was never in the Secret Yeah,
like she heard about all of it, so she was like, oh,

(10:02):
but I'm very thankful for the resources that we got
out of it, the training, the you know, experience, experience.
Experience is invaluable to work with Nicki, and she's like iconic.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah she.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
Was.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
She was the leader of the girls, and you know,
I forget and we can't help but to give her
her flowers for allowing us to be in that experience.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Doing it for so long.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
She was the first.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, she's been doing it first.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Yes, she likes to say, you know, the Secret Girls
are the first trans group in the world. We like
to say were the first mainstream trans They were the
first original girl group trans with our own music.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah. I love that.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yes, we're just.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Taking the formula and advancing it more because I mean,
it's it's a waste to not put a trans girl
group out at all. It's a waste, Like I feel
like there's so much that could be done. There's no
girl group period out right now, and if there is,
there staring out and like they're trying to be discovered.
But a trans girl group is something that's almost kind

(11:05):
of like needed.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
What kind of challenges have you guys had as a
trans girl group being recognized by the mainstream.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
We get knocked off constantly in no credit. Yeah, a
lot of things I don't know well, like stylists and
stuff will take all of her ship. It's a different
It's interesting. I don't know, it's very interesting because I mean,
I when we did Daddy, Sam Smith and Kim Petra's
came out with a song Unholy, and her verse is

(11:34):
exactly almost identical to mine.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
So I can't help. I can't help. We're about to
talk about her. Said, you have darling little.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
But you know, and also styling non record for a
long time. Why don't you like I just I think
her music's very boring.

Speaker 7 (11:56):
On don't like her music.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I just saw her. I just saw her last week.
We were up in the I was like I was
down in them, you know the general.

Speaker 8 (12:10):
Admission, you know, we have to support this, and like
it was really good.

Speaker 7 (12:17):
It was amazing.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
I just get a Clarity tour, Sorry, I did. It's
such an upgrade from the Clarity that was my.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
First time ever seeing her.

Speaker 7 (12:24):
I can tell sister is rehearsing her music Clarity.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
There is an album right her album Clarity. She did
a tour. That was the first time I saw her,
and like this, you can tell she's got budget.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
You know, she's definitely got a Grammy. The Grammy, but yeah,
there are plenty of trainings with Grammys, by the way,
they're just not There's so many girls that actually had
Grammys before her. She's like a bassis and guitars. She
has multiple.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
I don't think Sophie won, but Sophie was nominated programming.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
Doesn't our Lady doesn't she have one too?

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, but yeah, go camp Petra, go cam Petty.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
You got to get one. You got to get yours
on stage. Yeah, but challenges we've we are often imitated
and and ripped off in our styles and stuff. So
I mean we just kind of it's a compliment when
not take seriously sometimes or they're like, oh I like
that that dragshell y'all did We're like, no, that was us,
that was our song, microphones were on. But we come

(13:32):
from a drag background, so it's fine.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
I've experienced with this too, where like I tell people
I'm a musician and they like automatically in their head,
like they see on trans and they think I do
drag And I never.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
I had to be more specific on dating profiles because
when I say I'm an entertainer, they're like.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Oh, you do drag.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
Yeah, I have to be like, I'm a recording artist.
I'm like, please don't google it.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
They just assumed the right because because in the mainstream
like those are like the Avenue and a trans woman.
Absolutely absolutely, there's all. There's definitely something like sexualized, like
intrinsically like in the heads of people.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
Back in the day, that's all we could do. I
didn't have the options to do other thimes unless you
were like super super passable. But even then you had
to be super passable and then like lie about you
you Wendy Carlos.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, pretty sure she wont to Grammy, Yeah she did.
But Domino, I wanted to talk more about your music
background because Alyssa mentioned that you have a music background before.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
I was before I transition, Like all throughout high school
and right after high school, I would like record EPs
in my closet on my laptop, on garage bands and
so like I would always have these songs come out.
There's this one called vodka I thought I did. So
like people who know me from before, they'll be.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Like everything days better.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
I'm like, oh my god, leave me in my own
voice alone. But I did that, and so like when
she and I met, like that's they're like, oh, this
is this little person trying to be a a queen.
He does music.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh wow wow. And now it's I'm back in it.
Garage band saves lives. Though it really creative outlet, I
don't know that I need it. Yeah, yeah, so sometimes
you need something to just like have something to put out.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
I use it for yours.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
I did a lot of poetry back in the day,
and so like I realized writing is just doing poetry
and it's like getting all that stuff out. So I
just talked ship him all the songs. It was funny
when we played Chirp in front of the guy It's
about and he was there and I was just like,
we're dating again. I was like, no more losers, no
more broke boys. And he's like he was listening to

(15:36):
it like it was resonating, and he was like.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Well, the sentiment can still be true even if it's
not like.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
Well it inspired him. He's not broke anymore.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Music makes you a better person, Yes, tell us a
little bit more about your musical.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
Imploy when I was little, it was Janet Brittany. I
mean I'm from that. I'm a millennial, Mandy Moore, will
of Ford, Jessica Simpson, that girl.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
But also I was very fortunate to have gotten to
see Soldiers Girl at that time, and I loved Calpurnia
and how she was like a live musician, and that
was my first time I saw someone like myself doing something.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, and something that's like an art form. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Calpernia.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Much.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
I've always loved like three piece girl groups, like I
love the sugar Bags, I love TLC Destiny's Child when
they were three pieces. So like from me, that's all
like TLC's first album on the TLC tip, that is
like my blueprint of what we are, just more two
thousand whatever.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
You something powerful when three girls get together, Yeah, get along.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
It's like the Tesla, the three six nine, Like it's
always like.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's like some practical magic. You know, there's some witchy
ship going on right here.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
Definitely of the.

Speaker 7 (17:10):
Group, such a sad song girl love her.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Oh, I love that. So, y'all are typically your songs
are poppy, upbeats, stuff like that. Have you done like
a ballad.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Yeah, where we want to. We want to. We want
every girl to feel seen in their genre, right, So
all of our songs have levels, like mine's totally different
than her verse and hers and like it's it's a mix.
But we would love to do something more. So with Raquel,
I write her a song that I'm working on writing yesterday,

(17:42):
slow Down that she likes a lot like music. What
are your influences for music?

Speaker 7 (17:50):
Influences?

Speaker 3 (17:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (17:51):
Well, the thing is, like I I came into the
United States when I was eighteen years old and I
was transitioning. I mean, I was about to transition, and
I came basically to transition honestly because my parents they
I come from a background where like the machismo is
very like still in the culture. So my parents did

(18:12):
not acset me. So I just came into the United
States and I was still very like culturally shocked and
trying to learn English and and you know, but it
freed me and give me the opportunity to like transition.
So influences, it was kind of like a mix of
everything it comes from, Like Mariacchi comes from like very
like typical Mexican music to like I don't know Britney Spears,

(18:35):
Lena Larey. It comes to like opera, comes to like
Christiana Aguilera. So like for me, as I was becoming
a little sponge to trying to soak up everything that
I was learning at the time, everything that I colamitate
with my boys, it became kind of like my style,
you know.

Speaker 7 (18:55):
So yeah, it's kind of it's we're in there, That's
what I That's.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
One of the things I think for trans women and
female vocalists is that we I think I don't know
if anyone else resonates with us. But of course when
it comes to voice training, listening and singing those songs
like like it's like you're trying to like resonate with
that voice.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
Robins are like like anyone who needs to voice train
if you just listen to Robin and sing a lot
with her, that is what I've been singing every single
day for the past.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well how did you? Oh my God? Yes, well Kylie too,
Kylie hits those I love new album.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
I was like, Sony or Manoa.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
We love, we Love, we Love both are.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
I was like all the trans artists that are like, yeah,
then there's this one girl trends and she's fucking sickening.
Her voice is amazing, She's a power like power. We've
been discovering a lot of other trans artists and it's like, wow,
y'all are doing music too, y'all are doing it really well. Yeah, yeah,
Chase icon is Yeah, and I feel twit hilarious.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
It feels like trans artists just aren't getting the mainstream
recognition they deserve at this moment.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
We need like a big trans music festival of just
only trans artists.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Wow, yeah, that sounds fold be amazing. That would be
so like jarring, like you would have like the most
like sweetest, like cute little like you and then like
the loudest thing you've ever heard. You would have to
separate the trans men.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
Well they have multiple stages and different festivals.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
It would be amazing.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
It would be dope.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
I think it would be fun. That's that's It would
be like litl a fair, but like different stages like
the rock stage and the pop stage.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Well affair, but trainy fair.

Speaker 5 (20:56):
Let's coin that. Let's go ahead and coin that tiny fairs. Well, like,
we would be so upset though, if people are coming
to they're like I'm going to the training fair would
be like, no, no, no, we can say that. You can't.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
We're going to the transgender pair properly, the trans person Fair.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Well, I'm just trying to think of like a pun
with like Trana Losa.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Well, tell us about this weekend. So you both are
from Atlanta. I know you originally when you moved here,
you said you were in New York.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
And l A.

Speaker 7 (21:30):
Yeah, mainly in l A. Yeah, yeah, this is your
first time.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
They both live in.

Speaker 7 (21:36):
It's amazing food, amazing.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Welcome to Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, Atlanta, as I should say.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
I was like, isn't it Atlanta?

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Atlanta?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
The Second Sea is silent actually all this season?

Speaker 1 (21:52):
So yeah, how does it feel to be back in
your home hometown to perform?

Speaker 5 (21:57):
I used to hate coming here. I'd be like, oh
my god, they're so behind. Y'all are so really behind.
Like racial jokes are so funny here. I'm like, they're not,
but they think they are.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Like maybe in Cobb County.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
You know, the other day I heard somebody say something.
I was like to her, I was like, oh, you're
making fun of her accent. That just means she speaks
multiple languages and you don't like Yeah, It's great though,
because Atlanta seems to be catching up with the rest
of the world. It's a lot calmer, but like Atlanta
raised me. I'm really like, I'm very The first thing
I say to anybody is I'm from Atlanta. Like if

(22:33):
she just you know, if you kiss me, If I
say I'm from Atlanta, if they're like, oh, where are
you from, I'm like, I'm from Atlanta, They're like, oh oh.
But it's great being back here because like, I grew
up in this area, so seeing it is nice. Being
around my friends, it's nice. I feel like people here
are more supportive of our music than they are in

(22:54):
La Yeah, because I think Ali's catching up.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Well.

Speaker 8 (22:56):
Alai is such a competition, so everybody's trying to do
the doll and you know, we're stepping it into a
room where everybody think that they are the doll.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Lare There's something in the water, there's something in the hormone.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Something in the face. They don't look like they don't
look like that, I promise.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
You differently over there.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, that's like something people have always thought about La though,
is that it's like very fake and competitive.

Speaker 7 (23:27):
I mean, but that's the thing. It's not well, it is.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Once you take people out of l A, it's like
a different like like oh I can be myself kind
of thing.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I mean when like entertainment is kind of the backbone
of the city, like it makes sense that everything is
kind of like everyone's trying to like vie for attention
in some way or another.

Speaker 8 (23:48):
I mean, everybody's trying to chase the contract and trying
to construct a career there. So I think that's very I.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Wish they would try to chase the contract.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
I really do.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
I feel like they're just chasing like city fame, and
I like, you don't want to be pecular. That's like
when somebody's like, oh, she's popular on Facebook. I'm sorry
you're what?

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah, I completely agree when people are like only popular
like on Twitter and they don't really have like a
brand outside of that.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Like where's where, where's the the podcast, where's like the thing?

Speaker 5 (24:20):
Where's the driving people to social media?

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Pointless?

Speaker 5 (24:26):
But also and what are you doing with that platform
to get back to your community?

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (24:31):
Somebody girls don't want to help other girls. I'm like,
bitch when they say no one helped me, Yes they did.
Everyone who came before you helped you turn around and help.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Everyone else, right, absolutely, sorry. But it's also like, if
all you fucking have is a lot of Instagram followers,
that's not sure.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I don't really have anything exactly.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
I don't care how many on Instagram. Yeah, yeah, they
all say the same comment they're paid for, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
If they're all anime profile picture, sorry, they're in the
c that much anime. For the record, all of my
anime profile pictures that follow me are really sweet people.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
I don't even know if my followers are real. I
don't buy them, but I'm sure I didn't know people
could buy people followers.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
So now I've never done that. I've never paid for followers.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
It's like a scam going around with people saying there,
what do they call them? Like social media managers and
they grow your following. I feel like they just buy
it for you.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
They do. I get a lot of dms, like.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
I have to pay to promote my stuff on Instagram
because I've been shadow band for three years, so I've
had the same amount of followers for three years.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
I'm like that on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
But I refuse to give elon Musk money I had that.

Speaker 5 (25:44):
I paid for that blue check thing. Just so people
could see myself. Because once again, if you're like, well
if you're in adult films, that you can't they can't
find you.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah see, I understand that because you have something to promote.
I think like if you bought a blue check and
you're just some person like you just like followers my sweets,
you're a fucking loser.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
You are a huge, fucking loser.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
You need to work on yourself.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Or at least like start fucking doing something right so
your paying followers can enjoy something. Yeah, absolutely, Or yeah, yeah,
if you're just some dickhead that like works at like
a bank, and like you're secretly like someone who posts
like epic memes on Twitter check.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
What three hundred followers?

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yeah, there's no Like it's pathetic.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
It was like what six months ago when people were
just buying them left and right, like everyone had a
blue check out.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Yeah, yeah, you really want to be valid.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
I wanted to also ask y'all. Okay, so now that
being back in Atlanta, I mean, I mean you say
that we're so behind. You think said things are getting better.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
Atlanta is behind. I don't think the girl, well not
even the.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Girl, And anytime I talk to someone who's like not
from here and they come here, they're always surprised at
how many trans people live out here.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Atlanta has the best trans girls.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, there's a lot of trainings out here.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
We breed a different kind and a different element and
a different evolution of trans girls. Like people are like, oh,
they're so pretty in La No, that's a filter, and
Atlanta they actually look like that. They don't know how
to filter. We don't know, they don't know if is
over there. So like in Atlanta, there's also they're like
back on Atlanta drag. Also, when we were young, it

(27:33):
was you wanted to be fishy drags, so like you
your tribe was to be you wanted to look like
a woman. And so like now I think that has
resonated or like it's deep in the core of the
trans women of Atlanta. It's just a different breed of girls.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
We're out there blended into society. I am walking, my
little dog, my little cope. Nobody knows good morning, ma'am, Hello,
how are you.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
I'll just walk and I'm like, I'm you.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, it's been very I mean living here it's different
because I see it every day.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
But I'm also very like I know where to go.
I know my areas, you know where home? Yeah, Like
I know certain areas I'm gonna like feel some kind
of way walking in anywhere. But we all have to
own the space we walk into, and that's that's an
everyday thing for all of us. I think that we
have to walk in confidently anywhere. But it's hard sometimes here,

(28:28):
it's really hard with so.

Speaker 7 (28:30):
My husband tell me, he's like, you're going to is this?
Is it a red state?

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Here? We were blue the presidency.

Speaker 8 (28:38):
Yeah, well he was like just comed down because I'm
a very loud person, like everywhere I go, wherever I
sip and like just look, why is this?

Speaker 3 (28:46):
Atlanta's a loud city for sure.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
I think the funny thing about a lot of like
Southern cities is that they're kind of like little like
oasises away from like just deep swaths of like places
you don't really want to thought for gas. I don't know.
The thing about the South that I think is interesting
is like I don't know, like there's a lot of
people that literally like just generally don't care, Like like

(29:12):
I know that there's a lot of like shit like
in the zeitgeist about trans people and it's it's scary.
But I've been saying this a long time. I like,
I work in public all the time. I've transitioned in
public in front of people, and by and large, normal
people don't fucking care. They have bills to pay, they
have shit to do. Like they are at worst like

(29:33):
apathetic towards trans people. They're not really like angry in
the way that you see people online, because people online
that are angry about trans people don't fucking go outside.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
They usually don't live in cities they like true, Atlanta
is surrounded by Georgia. Yeah, so Atlanta is amazing, and
then it's surrounded by Georgia and Georgia fucking sex.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
If you live in Atlanta and you're like transphobic or racist,
is like, what are you doing in Like you're surrounded
by everything you hate?

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Like you come on, like.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
You need to go on a road trip with her
and show her the sticks of Georgia.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Yeah, go to like.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
And I fight so well. We were just in fucking
where was that. We went to Dalton to do a
show at the college Dalton State.

Speaker 7 (30:20):
They were lovely, so sweet, exactly.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Darton is like Chattanooga, the border of.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
The Hitler zone.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
But they were very like they.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Were so and they were woke.

Speaker 8 (30:34):
They were like very like excited to be exposed to
like drag and like are.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Called the girls? Girls? Where the girls to stay them?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I wanted to say, it's it's the three girls, right,
like the Ease of three.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
It was for social media purposes because the girls were
taken out, Okay, because when I said it aloud, I
was like three girls.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
I was like, oh, the three girls.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
It was just for social media. But the three was
something that we just wanted to keep for three. But
we had it when we were two, so it was
like because we were always going to have subconsciously want
to have a trans features.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Kind of hard to search online. I wanted to ask,
if I may, what is the vibe like the Transport Awards.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
Yeah, in the house of it I've been for like
the past five years. It's actually in like incredible, it's
my favorite thing to do, but like it is really incredible.
It's like the largest group of trans women in one
building dressed up and it's not like yeah, it's not
even it's like we're classier than the Avan Awards. And

(31:54):
also it's way more entertaining, like all those other adults
that I was surprised, like very surprised.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
It's very entertaining, that's awesome.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
I was expecting to come in and like everyone is
gonna be naked and I'm going to see a lot
of trans paine and like everything, and it's going to
freak me out. But it was. It was more professional
than an actual award show, Like it was just very
red carpet event.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Trans people behind like the actual like.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Me.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
And then there's Stephen who owns Scrooby. He's not trans,
but Gruby is the oldest and the first trans adult
film site ever. And then Crystal, she is part of
our community. She's not chance though, but yeah, she's under
our umbrella, but she's she's more like a trans fairy
god parent, and she basically listens to us. And then,

(32:46):
because you know, since people don't like to listen to
trans people, she's the one who will relay our messages
and beat it into the other people and be like, no,
it is actually important for you to listen to them,
especially since you're profiting off of them. And this is
this is not about y'all, this is them. Because they
used to be called the Training Awards.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Wow, that was terrible. As long as I've been running, Yeah,
when did they change it?

Speaker 5 (33:11):
We just had our fifteen years. When did they change it?
When I said, I'm not coming anymore if you don't
fucking change it.

Speaker 8 (33:16):
Yet, my husband, I made it myself to make sure that,
like I was gonna put in his head that we
were going to change a lot of titles. So I've
been doing some inside work.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
Her husband is Buddy Wood, which is like one of
the most famous porn porn He's like the only one
that's actually in our community that directs because he's married.

Speaker 6 (33:39):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, I've seen a lot of like pictures of people
at like like porn awards and porn like expositions and stuff,
and like people are always like kind of like make
fun of it, but like it's the people that go
to that stuff and like meet their like favorite porn star.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
They look happier than I will ever meet at someone.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
They see every day. Like people like to belittle us
and be like, oh, you're a porn time like, but
you don't get it, Like the celebrities you idolize, we're
their celebrities. And I don't care if you don't like me.
But fucking that celebrity over there that you're worshiping is
paying my bills.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
And at the end of the day, like being a
porn star, like you're making people happy, like you're legitimate.

Speaker 8 (34:24):
It's also the first like explosion, the first time that
somebody like gets to like meet a trans woman or
realizes that like they're attractive.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
Yeah, we're a human being. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
Yeah, most of the time.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
The script, I'll tell you this, it's never a trans
person writing the script.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
We directed it.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
I don't even know that famous clip where the guy
was like, god, I would love to knock you a writer.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
Monroe, she was movie. I love her, like when people
talk about that and I was like, she fucking hated
that script? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 7 (35:06):
That was a great meme, though I know it's me.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
She's a musician.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Yeah, Okay, shout out to Rider Monroe.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Love her.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Sorry for that stupid fucking scene, girl, but.

Speaker 7 (35:19):
It makes me feel good because I'm a different girl.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
I can relate.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
You know. That's telious.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Oh my gosh, which part being with Giovanni or.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Being our word? I don't want to get canceled on
this podcast.

Speaker 5 (35:37):
Can we take that word back? Because it doesn't want
me to anymore. Like, no one's calling anyone that, Like,
no one who's actually handy, capable or whatever. No one's
calling them that if they are your fucking asshole.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
And if you are like mad about it, the person
mad about it is usually not the person that should
be mad about it, right, that's like just shut up.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Well, I mean by the logic of like.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Slurs that like like teenagers on Tumblr made up like
like in twenty fifteen or whatever, it's like if it's
used against you, like you can like reclaim it. Oh okay,
So I don't know why that one has always That's
always confused me because like I don't know, I've always
been called a like retarded paget.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Like my whole life.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
I heard that every day.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
There's something like upsets you.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Like That's why I try to avoid it, because it
makes people upset.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
I know.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
That's what I don't I don't want to make even mad.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Honestly, it's a good icebreaker sometimes, Yeah, it is, like
it's this person I don't care be mad, stay mad honestly,
Like you're offended by being called sis, we were offended
by being called faggots when we were a kid, get
the fuck over it. It's your turn now.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
I don't even think that's real, Like, there's got to
be that's a very specific kind of person.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
That's like I think being called.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
A lot of women are on set and this director
was like, oh, like what women don't like being called that?
And I was like, well, unfortunately it's the scientific term
of what you are.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
So bitch. Your cis that is so crazy? This your sis?
That is so crazy?

Speaker 1 (37:15):
No, yeah, that is it's insane. It's like it's it's.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
Like, oh, now, y'all don't like fucking labels.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Yeah right, it's crazy. I wanted to ask you now
that we're here for Pride. People are going to be
listening to this after Pride, but I think Pride is
three sixty.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Five, three sixty five exactly. There you go. I wanted
to know from all each of you what your favorite
Pride memory is, and it can be crazy. What is
your wildest prime memory? What's your favorite prime memory? Maybe
you don't have one yet, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (37:45):
I don't know. For Atlanta, yeah, for me is always
I've always done Atlanta Pride because I've always been involved
in the big performing aspect of it. So to me,
it would be my first time as a solo artist
opening up for a big artist. That would be my highlight.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Okay, awesome.

Speaker 5 (38:03):
I love Pride, like in Atlanta, I go every year.
I love doing Starlight Hart It's my favorite show to do.
But I used to have really bad ptsc anxiety, agoraphobia,
all that. And then we were at this Pride show
in La and I had to sing live because the
original third member didn't show up, so like I had
to sing her part. And then after that we were
at a concert and I looked at her and I

(38:23):
was like, wait a minute, like I'm not.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
And stuff.

Speaker 5 (38:28):
Yeah, I was like, wait a minute, I'm not having
a panic attack. I'm in the middle of where we met.
There was that it was at La Pride yet, right, yeah,
when we were all hanging out.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Yeah, and that was like you just do you think
it was because you.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
Just it was like conquering a fear. And then ever
since then, I haven't really had the same, like and
I'd suffered for.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
It for years.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
That's beautiful and then it was just like gone, and
now you're able to perform and sing.

Speaker 5 (38:52):
We were standing there like really high and she goes
Oh my god, I'm at a concert, Like there's so
many people around. I was like, not just a concert.
We're watching Low Kim and I'm chilling.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
It's incredible.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
Oh yeah, l A Pride. They have a budget.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Oh I know had Grace Jones lash year.

Speaker 7 (39:10):
It was amazing and so good.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
You pay to go there, though, I know I want
to go to Ali Pride.

Speaker 5 (39:15):
Not many people know this, but me and Jasmine are
Violet's original mother. She's never going to claim it.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
I have heard.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
I know she's never going to claim the photos and
the proof.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Well I didn't put her in drag for the first time,
but I'm the first person to watch Drag Race with her.
You know, a friend of the show sat her ass
down and I said, we're going to watch the show together, bitch.

Speaker 5 (39:35):
And then I remember her first show in Atlanta and
they fucking hated her.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
It was like, she was what's the Lubamba?

Speaker 5 (39:42):
No we're at we were at Oh yeah, it was
lebas and we were back there where it was either
that are Burke Hearts and they were like, who the
fuck was that bitch and her little bron panty. She's
never coming back. Her attitude was so stink. I was like,
I love her, I love that y'all are so pressed,
and she she's like not impressed by anyone. They couldn't
take it back. Then it was like a rivalry with

(40:04):
East Atlanta girls and midtown girls, like they did not
mix at all. And then bitch Puddin came in changed
she shook up, and then Violet won and really shook
it up. Yeah, Violet, and then Phoenix and Co went home.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yes they did.

Speaker 5 (40:21):
On episode two Atlanta Curse the Brooks Curse prison.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Honey, Oh my god, I.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Never forget one of them went there too.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
It was just page right. Yeah, did we talk about
your favorite part.

Speaker 8 (40:37):
Memory as Oh my god, I mean to so many,
I just like my favorite thing is just like being
surrounded by my gaze.

Speaker 7 (40:44):
The gaze and the gays love me. Yeah, I'm too
much of a party monster.

Speaker 8 (40:51):
And yeah, I like every pride is a good pride honestly,
if he has a good meaning and there's that sense
of community.

Speaker 5 (40:59):
And yeah, I don't go unless at marketing, but I
do love it. I love it for everyone else.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
I'm excited for you to experience Atlanta Pride for the
first time. I'm excited for you all to be back
here in Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
I don't. Yes.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
I wanted to ask y'all kind of going into the
new year. As we're wrapping up twenty twenty three, do
the girls have anything cooking up for next year?

Speaker 5 (41:28):
We've been working on our debut album for a minute.
We were going to do a couple and then we
were like, no, let's just do a bunch of songs.
And we're still in the thought process of it, but
we have a good catalog.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Is there any of course seatures or producers that we've been.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
Working with baims and then we're looking to work with
a couple different producers just to give it different, you know,
variety of styles. But right now we're still in the
thought process of who we want to work with, you know,
what direction we want to go. I know we've talked
about only featuring trans people, but we're just in a

(42:05):
different space now that we have a third member and
we know what we want.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
I love the sound of a debut album. Is it
going to be self titled? You think we can't know?

Speaker 5 (42:13):
We can't have no idea. But for features, we're definitely
doing Ga again. Yes, Yes, because it's just so fun.
She's one of my good, good, good friends. She was like, girls,
I really should have been the third member, but we
have a third one. She's like, well, I can be
the fourth and unofficially is. She comes to all our

(42:34):
gigs and she unintentionally wears the same Outum's so funny.

Speaker 8 (42:38):
She always looks like she's about to pup into them.

Speaker 5 (42:41):
She's always ready for the gig. She's one of the
most part of friends of ours of our music as well.
I love that it's just she she sees it, and
we like people that see it before we see it.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
She's such an icon too, she really is.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
She's so misunderstood. She's like the funniest and nicest person
in the world.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Yeah, and I love misunderstood, mister trans women are my favorite.
I'm excited to hear this new album when it drops.
I hope we can maybe even have y'all back.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
We'll give you all a sink pea.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Yeah, I would love that. I would really love that.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
I wanted to play my little game, but we don't
have to.

Speaker 5 (43:16):
Know, let's do it. I love game.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
Yeah all right, all right, I felt silly about it
because I just feel silly, so so uh all right,
so it's uh, it's spooky season right now. At the
time of recording this, they're probably listening to this in June,
like what, No, just kidding, it'll be out earlier than that.

(43:41):
All right, But there's a new movie from the Saw franchise.
Are you guys familiar with the Saw franchise? And I
was with my boyfriend last night rewatching the films. She
had his dick in his mouth, but.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Not not when it's movie time, but.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
His mouth.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Cinema And yes, she's right.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Anyway, I thought, I thought this great idea for a
little game we could play called Sex or Saw. And
I compile a little list of Saw traps and sexual
positions or items. So I'm gonna say something, and you're
gonna tell me if it is sex or it is soft.

(44:28):
I will start. I'll start with a pretty easy one.
I think it's easy at least, the reverse bear trap,
So I think that is that is the like first trap, Yes,
with Amanda, the girthy tentacle.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
That's all right, all right, all.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Right, that's a bad drag untilto bad it is exactly
a bad dragon.

Speaker 5 (44:54):
I have to get some of this.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
We need the tentacle dealer, Okay, so they're gonna get
a little harder.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Uh the standing wheelbarrow sex, So I guess that.

Speaker 7 (45:14):
Is sex.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
Oh that position it's like, yeah, you picked the lens.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yeah, I guess you would walk like with your dick
and yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Okay we're standing sorry and there they grab the girls.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
Yeah yeah yeah, it's really not comfortable for her.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
And you would walk through a garden and pick up
the crops, make them work a little bit, go through
a pumpkin pouch, get the the silent circle.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Saw what facts?

Speaker 1 (45:45):
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
It is. It is a saw trap. It is. It
is from from Saw three D.

Speaker 5 (45:52):
You'll know I'm a porn star.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
Right, yeah, she's killing I figured you would be butter
Churner sex sex.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's like when your asshole gets frothy.
Oh for real. Actually it's this one's crazy. It's like
when you it's a position. It is a position, and
it's like when you stand I don't know how listeners
are going to visualize this, but it's like when you
stand up and like her legs would be like like

(46:21):
on the wall and you'd be like.

Speaker 5 (46:24):
Like, oh my god, I actually I'm like, yes, butter
churn me daddy, and it gets frothy, not from the
Quaker days, just churning.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
But I saw a Loop.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Brand the other day that is literally butter. It's called
Boy Butter Boy butter yeah me, and it comes in
a tube of butter and I think that.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
Right, Yeah, celebrity that I said. And he would always
give like fisting stuff for Loop to jerk him off.
I'm like, this isn't what that's for, Like so hard
to do this?

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Oh my god, Okay, when's the next one?

Speaker 5 (47:10):
Jamimes?

Speaker 1 (47:11):
It is the rock stand, the rock stand saw saw?

Speaker 3 (47:19):
That is sex.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Damn, I'm a dominic.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
This one's confusing.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
That the givers should be in an upside down position
against the wall with their head against the wall. You
could also just go for shoulders for extra support. I'm
reading this verbatim. After that, the receiver should bend over,
facing the giver and slightly spreading their legs. Once position,
the receiver can start gliding into their vagina slash anus

(47:47):
to their partners hard on. Oh wow, the logistics.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Of that are a bit crazy. So it might as
well be a saw trap.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Yeah, it's both.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Why was it called again the rock stand? Yeah, if
there's any rock stand enjoyers. We leave that in my comments.

into us at six seven eight five six one two

(01:00:03):
seven eight five for whatever problems you have, we will
make them worse. All right, let's take some calls.

Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
Yeah, so I rent apartment. I read this apartment and
the shower clogged, and I bought off brand draino from
the Dollar Tree and I put it down there. And
now now every shower I take turns into a mini bath.
So I don't know if you can get someone down
here to fix this, but that would that would be appreciated. Okay,

(01:00:32):
you have an awesome Tuesday.

Speaker 10 (01:00:34):
Good night.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Okay, so can we get someone down there to fix that?

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
No, because you did not leave your personal home address,
which we encourage all of our callers to do, to
leave their address, phone number, name, data, birth mother's maiden name,
middle name, last four digits of your social first seven
or eight digits of your social as well.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
If you left all that, maybe we'd have a shot
at helping you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
So I would just say personally, as a sick little
freak myself, I love a little I was going to say,
I love a little bath in the shower. When I'm
like really, I will lay down in it. I will
have the shower on and I will let it like
fill up a little bit. Usually I'll do some like
shower stuff like I'll like, you know, wash my body

(01:01:26):
or my hair, and then I'll shut yeah, douche and
lay down in that nice douchey water.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
No, I'm I'm anti douche.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm anti douching. I'm pro meta music.
Oh my god, just just dry yourself out. Get some fiber, girls.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
That's my message.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
When are they going to start marketing pure?

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
It doesn't work. It doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
It's just for men, Douche, douche. What is pure? You've
never heard of Pure for men?

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Will this help our listeners?

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
It will actually help our listeners. If you take it
up the ass regularly, you should consider you should consider
adding some fiber to your diet, such as Meta Mucil.
Pure for men is a great option because it's marketed
towards fags.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Well, it's marketed towards men. It is marketed towards men.
But I'm saying pure for men. They really need to
they really need to get up on that game of
like the dolls. Pure for dolls is what we need next.
Pure for the door. So first of all, if you
don't like a little bath shower, I think that's kind
of on you. But you could get a snake shower,

(01:02:41):
snake rain snake. Yeah, or do we have a is
this caller? Do they own their own house? They don't
have a landlord?

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
Are they crazy? We have people that listen to us
that own home. Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
I would just call my landlord. I'd say, landlord, listen.
If you don't come down here and fix my bass shower,
I'm going to.

Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
Kill you in your whole Fani.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
I'm gonna blow this metal in your apartment.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
Yeah, simple as that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
I think he should consider adding flesh eating maggots to
his little bathtub to exfoliate the feet.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
You know, to make some some elements of danger. Yes,
you know, Oh yeah, put one of those. Here's what
I would put, one of those fish from Brazil that
like swims up your penis hole in in the drain.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
Oh my god, I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
It's a penis whole fish penis who actual.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
And you? Yeah? Yeah, Google's like, oh we get this whole.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
I got you then, also known as the penis fish
penis fish. Yes, you put a penis fish in the
drain and that puts you on a timer. So you've
only got a limited amount of time to take your
shower before the water rises up to the levels where it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Goes into your penis hole.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
So that'll help you take expeditious showers and that will
make your life a lot better. It'll also mean that
there's get onto doing what you need to do with
your life. It will also add an element of like
danger and risk, yeah to your daily shower, your daily
We're a pro fear podcast. It helps you, It helps

(01:04:25):
you live.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
It's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
Me and Carmen live under extreme fear every single day
and it keeps us on our toes. It keeps us
foot healthy, happy, keeps me nergizing, scared. All right, well
we have that help.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
Let's take the next one. Yeah, yeah, I think that's
that one is solved.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Problem solved.

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
All right, we got we got another one ready for us.

Speaker 10 (01:04:48):
Every time I get really drunk, I have an overwhelming
or shifted or whatever is in my hands on the ground.
I got a lego set for a white elephant this
past Christmas, and I built it all of it at
the party and I got drunk and then I were
all on the ground. And then I bought Greek food
a couple of nights later, and I got drunk and
I threw it on the ground immediately. And then a
couple days after that, I I I just bought. I

(01:05:13):
bought a new bowl to smoke weed, and I got
drunk and I threw it and shattered it on a
driveway indicator.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
Yeah and wow, so we got an address. We got
an address close enough.

Speaker 4 (01:05:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
I actually relate to this because one time I was
at a party with a bunch of people I didn't know,
and I I thought they had a really nice DVD collection.
And I'm not kidding. I spent the entire party alphabetizing
their DVD collection.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
And I remember, like, I like passed out and woke
up the next thing, and they're.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
Like, dude, you now I know exactly where don't mess
with the zohan Is.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
I could imagine were you doing like your Criterion closet thing.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
Like yeah, but with like the shittiest movies ever it's like,
and this is dude whares my car? Yeah, yeah, the
highlight of trans representation and film. This is soul Plane.
We almost watched soul Plane last time leaving HBO Max,
but we watched Man on HBO Max, right, Max. Just

(01:06:30):
just I'm sorry I named HBO.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
So, dear listener, I you know, i'd say just stop throwing.
The throwing things on the ground is where I think
the problem arises. I think fidgeting is valid and fine.
I think you find I think you just have to
find a good outlet for your fidgets. For me, it's
like alphabetizing things. You know, don't break stuff, don't start

(01:06:58):
like jacking off, don't like start hitting your head and screaming.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
Like those are like the bad fidgets.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
But like there's like like you can organize something. I
think that, like I think those are good fidgets. But
I you know, dear listener, I do totally relate to
you being at a party and just building a fucking
lego set. And I say that as a very social
person too, because I just like, I don't know, I
think I'm I'm part like among us character, Like I

(01:07:26):
just like doing little.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
Tasks and.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
Yeah, side quests, Yeah, do find little side busts to
do and make your own party. And I think that's
a healthy thing to do. I think it's a good
thing to do. Stop throwing things on the ground, or
if you can't stop throwing things on the ground, maybe
pad everything.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
I was gonna get Like now, I want to say,
I last time I participated in a white elephant, I
received nothing but sex toys and loup.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
That was my wide elephant.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
And I now have a thanos sized butt plug that
I don't know what to do with.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
What are you going to do with it? I don't
know use as a paperweight, a door stock. It's a weapon.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
It is solid metal with a big old gym on it.
So it's like a it's like a level like one
weapon you would like spawn in with in like dark
Souls one. Like it's like what the deprived would spawn
tots like the broken the broken butt plug Like.

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
It's just it's just a blunt.

Speaker 1 (01:08:31):
It weighs about ten pounds. I'm not joking.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Yeah, let's get let's get this. We got one more call, right,
I got one more call. This time it's for real.

Speaker 9 (01:08:42):
So I'm a trans woman in Brooklyn, I've been transitioning
for over two years, and married men with kids keep
asking me when I'm going to get breast augmentation now.
I actually, you're sitting up a concept now so I
can hopefully get to be a like early next year.

(01:09:04):
But that things should I say to these great acquaintances
of mine with great boundaries to explain why my boobs
doubled in size, to deny them the.

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
Pleasure of.

Speaker 1 (01:09:21):
I'm encouraging you.

Speaker 9 (01:09:23):
And this call I was thinking of a mosquito bite.

Speaker 10 (01:09:26):
No, not that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Oh you should delete this.

Speaker 9 (01:09:29):
I'm gonna try again later. But yeah, what don't I
say to the men who are weird about my body?
What do you do about horny dads?

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
I've got corny dads, That's what I do.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
Well, I just want to say I hope and I
don't think this is the case, but I hope that
you're not just getting your boobs done at the behest
of these married men, because honey, they don't really care
that much.

Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
Let's be real here, you can still have.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
Sex with them and it'll probably be pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
I would take the money first, though. The boop job
costs this much. And here is how you can contribute
to that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
I don't know. I just wouldn't care that much. Who
gives a shit? Yeah, Like, I don't know, Like it's
not like this is I mean a married man.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Like the only thing you can get out of that
is some like decent sex or not decent sex, or
it's either sex or money, Like that's the only things
you're gonna be able to get out of that. This
isn't going to be like relationship potential at all. So
who fucking gives a shit what these dumb ass.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
People say to you? Like who cares?

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
Like they're dumb guys, Like I don't think you need
to use your emotional labor to explain to them the
ins and outs of fucking, Like, oh, it's actually quite
rude to uh say to a trans woman about her,
but like, no, who cares?

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
Fuck them? Who cares? Like I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
I don't even think it's worth wasting your time on.
I think if someone's weird, do you just block them?

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Who cares?

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
Period? And if you really want to fuck them, just
do that. I don't know, Like I don't, I don't know,
but uh, the boob job thing go with God, get
your boobs done. If that's what you want to do,
Get them done, get them big, get them really really
really really big and good. And that's that's what I

(01:11:26):
would advise.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Well, I will say, she sent us this voicemail back
in October, so yeah, she could already be tity the fuck.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Up right now.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
And if she is, congratulations, I hope you are enjoying
your new coconuts, and I hope that you are enjoying
them for yourself. I think we handled that well.

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
Yeah, I think she's gonna be okay. She's going to
be okay. I think we saved her life, to be honest.
