So on our very first date, we went out for
ice cream for our first date. Like that people who
do dinner for a first date, are you crazy? So
that is a you're paying like sixty eighty bucks to
talk to someone. It goes on way too long, like
an hour and a half. What if it's a bad date.
Now you just locked in for an hour and a
half with this person. That's like awful desert and you

(07:44):

And he's on stage.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
He comes on in this black outfit and he sings
this acoustic version of my song love like This, and
as y'all know, and he does not sing. He had
taken voice lessons for a year to learn how to
sing for the profolos though, and very romantic. Oh no,
we didn't dive in a pond, but that would have
been that.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Would have been neither. We had a little different pond
that you guys. You guys have the rest of your
lives to do. I feel like, how could it be
more romantic?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
It was very sweet but good, But can I say something?
I feel like such an asshole? Why say you proposed
gives me the ring? My god, it sounds so cunty
gives me the ring? And then I looked at the ring.
I'm like, oh, this is beautiful. And then later that
night I was like, he was like, so, how do
you feel about the ring? I was like, I like it,

(09:51):
but one little change. I wanted just an eternity set
Bobby Diamond.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah it really is. Okay, so.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
And he had this but there was like a big
skirt cut diamond in the middle of it. It was
his mother's engagement. So I was like, I love this.
I was like, let's take off the stone. I'll put
on something else, yes, because I had.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
To wear this of my life, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
So I'm putting it in like as.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
So fucking tasteful, elegant, like a little that is you.
Oh my god, I'm so happy that you got like
the proposal you deserve. That is like I could not
think of someone I was actually saying. He back in
the day was known as being so effortlessly funny, like

(10:40):
in our schedule.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
He was by far real.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
People thought of him as one of the people that
was it could naturally sell anything in terms of comedy.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Well, y'all, hole, y'all's whole class, Like I mean, like
it's birth legend.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Something was crazy, like it is like so many talented
people from this class and it's crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
I also shout out Steph Shoe, who is going to
be in Rocky Horror?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Did you see this Rocky? And I cannot wait to
see it.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh my god, it's really a gag. And I can't
believe Steph is that it's just perfect for that like.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Show that was so good.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I'm you know, I've only gotten I've only got it
gone it into theater as I left New York because
Borner raised New Yorker, but living here, I never went
to go see shows.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I was like, because you couldn't afford it, because that
was it for me.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Like we did not go when we were here all
the time, and we could have taken advantage of like
studios and stuff, but we just couldn't afford it. Like
that's why we never saw anything back in the day.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I was just ignorant.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yeah, I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Late in life, I think moving to l A, I
was like, I want to just experience more theater and
but sometimes.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Well it's really weaker right now.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I know.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
That's why all of a sudden, it's like, well, I'm
sure things are going to be great eventually, but the
thing is like the reason why there's like a lot
of things happening, there's a lot of space in theaters,
so things are now starting to get thrown up. Yeah,
but do you know what Jennifer Husband just announced is
she's producing dream Girls.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
That's coming back.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, yeah, which I've been I've been thinking why the
fund did they not bring that with amb?

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Okay, so I had Ember Island the show. I was
like Amber, what happened?

Speaker 2 (12:20):
She was like, I'm not going to say it was
because of me, but I could not come and do
it on Broadway. Yeah. This was like when this is
twenty eighteen, I think yeah, and like I had a
little money was on Draggers. I was like, you know,
I'm gonna like take a week off and make sure
I go see the show. But I never made time
to go do it. And I was kicking when I
because everyone was like, oh, it's coming to Broadway, right.
It was like bringing the Western production is coming to Broadway. Okay,

(12:43):
I'll just wait till it comes to New York ye.
And when it didn't, I was so mad that I
did not get to see the Western production of dream Girls.
But now we're going to get it here on Broadway.
You've done Broadway.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
I've never done Broadway. You You're such a fucking fit,
you know.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I Cause I also okay to be the realty. I
just thought it auditioning for stuff I like November, and
because I was like, I'm an opera girly and in
school you were we they kind of taught us to
stick on it. Like there was like, you're not going
to do theater like it was that, like it was
that whole thing. So for for the longest time, I
was like, I can't do music theater like I need to.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I'm holding myself out for opera, you know.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
But now I was like, now I'm a fully formed adult,
I'm like, no, I fucking love music theater.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Death becomes her. I've seen the show like nineteen times.
This is my dream.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yes, I think that I can do the viola van
horn role. Imagine that in full dragoons and it is
the type of role where it sits with musically Yeah,
but Noel, it sits perfectly in my register and it
will still be just dramatic.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
There's no reason for this to not happen. I have
to say out loud, this needs to happen. This viola
is thee Williams. Yeah, exactly, this would tear.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
It would be a done deal.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
I think it would be about every single I'm counting,
but in a sea I need that, by the way,
like she is so, and I've been watching so much
Kelly Rowland content.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
I think today we're recording it's her birthday? Better know it?

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Well, well, is it February thirteenth her birthday? Because there
there's been a lot of I don't know, Tina, what's
tra happy birthday today?

Speaker 4 (14:28):
So what we're recording it is if you Beyonce dot com,
it's a lot of Kelly. I was just checking beyontay
dot com recently and it's a lot of Kelly stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
There's a Kelly Roland happening, and I just always appreciate.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
When that happened.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
She did an interview I think like two days ago,
and I just saw I pop up on on TikTok
or something like that, and she and someone asked her
to like, so, there are all these rumors that on
your tour that Beyonce like was giving you notes and
like everything. And she was like absolutely. She was like,
she's my best friend. She heard the greatest artists in
the world. Of course, she was like anytime my friends
cons my show, I welcome notes and I make my
show better. I was like, good on you and like

(15:01):
not being like no, I don't need any help. She's like, no,
like Beyonce is my best friend. Ye nothing, I'm gonna
like milk that. Of course she give me the notes.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
She was iron sharpens iron. Yes. I was like, where, yes, wow,
because it is true.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
I mean, like just to speak to that like you
surround yourself with. I think like the highest caliber of
people as well, like you every single week talked to
multiple times the funniest, smartest person about the dry queen,
because that's who you are. And I really do think
like I was there when we were all nominated and
you guys won the Glad Award, and I was like, yeah,

(15:38):
they should be winning every award for two people talking
to each other, Like that's just how I feel.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
We're never gonna win those awards because we don't do Patreon,
like we we.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Can't talk y'all.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
I'm just saying that it's done. We're done. We're done.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
You do you do sibling rivalry, Patreon sibling rival and
then you do watchery, Yeah, which is I guess it
is like.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Part of it sold it in.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
But then but then but then the money talks thing
is the couch is discussing.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
You think, oh that couch, so that couch. It is
like one hundred dollar couch from the Facebook market place. Yes, yeah,
it works with the sex. It does because it's supposed
to be like this eighties basement e vibe just chill.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
So yeah, I love that couch.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Well, I just I have to ask, just because you
briefly mentioned it with with Joel, Final Fantasy Tent talk
about it.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh my god. Okay, So, in my humble opinion, Final
Fantasy Tent is one of the best games of the decades, story,
best story of the night. It's just like the gameplay
is just so good, that this beautiful love story with
Titus and you, and then you have this witch Luna
with these little like voodoo dolls. It is just I

(16:51):
just I played the game through about three or four times.
I go through it. I make sure I get all
the aon's, I'm like doing all the bonus contents. I
just love that game so much. And it's so beautifully shot.
It's so beautifully shot whatever whatever, but like this, yes,
oh my god, what what's this? This is?

Speaker 4 (17:09):
This turned the whole generation of boys day. This is if.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
You do you know, do you know Siva Fuva? Of course,
of course our camera guys know one of them. She's
in a different group, by the way, than the people
who knew the film seven.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Mixture of people.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Last week we had a whole bunch of guys that
we mentioned the David Fincher film seven and they all
started to activate.

Speaker 4 (17:34):

We're bringing people together. Shiva was just is the Countiest
Ice before there was.

Elsa before they were Shiva.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
And then sometimes they do Shiva twins. They do an
army of Shiva's in two Shiva's are more there's a

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Like I let me say, after college, I did not
have any fucking roommates. I worked my asshole so I

world for me, how we're spending time. We're in the
same house together, occupying the same space differently. You're in
your room, I'm in my room. I think that's great.
And he wants to be right here next to me
on the couch, and I'm like, he's one of those.
He's one of those.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
So one thing is that there has to be separate bathrooms. Absolutely, Okay,
I just want to test some checkouts. Separate separate bathroom,
separate closets.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
So you really did get it all I did.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I had the honesty closet and the bathrooms and I
think that's all my thing. And he's downstairs, thank you.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
That is that should be normal if you have if
you are lucky enough to have that be the arrangement.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, edible arrangement if you can, it's the most edible
arrangement out of all the arrangements. I'd say it's the
most edible. We have to ask you the central question
of our podcast. Yes, I feel like you are third
co host energy, But I this way. When I was
on Morning Talks, I was like, oh I remember, I

(21:08):
was like it's over. When they said it was time
to go, I was like I could talk forever. Of course,
what was the culture that made you say culture was
for you? This is the central question of lost culture,
and we put it to you now on exchange.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
For me, it is unequivocally that's so raven. Oh okay,
that's so raven. Like the way that that show was
literally a cultural recess was dope like before, like you know,
because in that same era we had Sweet Life as
I Can, Coady, Liza Maguire, all those things. She was
the first, it was the first black girl let sitcom,

(21:41):
and she was a little ficker and Raven was allowed
to be funny, crazy. Her physical comedy was unmatched. She
was giving the best comedic performance on right. Absolutely, Yes,
I should put all these characters. She was a psychic
all this stuff, and like I just thought, like seeing
Raven Baxter on my screen, all the different characters, she

(22:02):
was like very like Martinez or jamboxets playing all these
different characters Anne Murphy's type shit, and she was just
and also not even that Raven simone like you look fast,
you rewind fifteen years before that she was doing on
the Cosby Show. So Raven has always been on the
cutting edge of like really this like sitcom TV show
space yea, like ushering this new era and normalizing the

(22:22):
experience of black folks living and being like stars. Yeah,
so that's what Raven was after me, Doctor Little too,
Doctor Dolittle too, because they knew.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
They had someone who could do anything anything, Yah, do
anything like when you when you talk about it being
like akin to all of those things of the past,
it's because they were like, we have an opportunity in
this talent to throw any kind of sketch situation, any
kind of thing at this person.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
And you do not see that. Now you don't see that,
And it is a little bit like she was a kid,
et cetera.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Like you know, we now look at like being a
child actor differently in terms of how much they should work.
But the thing is like that type of personality doesn't
even really exist anymore, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Because there aren't showcases for it anymore. Right, Yeah, It's like, well,
it's like why can't we have that, Like why like
like surely the talent isn't gone. There is no kid
out there who has that same breadth of like talent,
but where it gets.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Lost in the sauce of like social media stuff now
like there really aren't like like what's what's what's been
the last big like Disney Channel slash Nick show, Like
they're just there aren't those things except like High School Musical,
the series that whatever.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
I guess like if you attach that to it, then
like you could say Olivia Rodrigo, but then she wasn't
like famous for being on that show.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
She became a superstar as a result of that song.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, the song.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, So it is hard to say. Yeah, I don't
think does Disney do they still do original shows like that?
I can't.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
I can't name one or like have we aged out
as we just don't know. But I still watch cartoons.
I love Avatar last Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
I mean listen, I feel like if if there was
a personality that like existed like that, we would know it.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
I would also point out who was like that.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
I want to say Amanda Vines as well. He's the man, She's.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Gender is construct whatever.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Showed the Amanda show like iconic, like Raven and Raven
and Amanda they were like they were, they were they
were paying the bills over there and at Disney for.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, like my dad was always like, this girl is
the funniest person on television. I was like, she is, yeah,
so good.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Favorite that's the Raven episode, the one when she they're
in the store with the mall and I think she
get the premonition or the future of someone stealing something
or something like that, and they have and she's like
trying to stop Orlando Brown, which she's what what what's
what's She's not well, she's not well okay yeah. And

(24:52):
then like Chelsea, which oh my god, she was also
a great actress to and she is great.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, she she was.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
She was also really a great timing and stuff like
these kids, I'm like, well, y'all were really y'all were
in theater and stuff as kids.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
No, well, no, no, we were. He did theater and
I was like sports sports sports worst. I was more
of Andy short mask he was any short No.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
I there were the kids who did like community theater
where you went, fuck yeah, they're they're living.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
You were weaponized in a way they can't do it,
but it was. I always wanted to become like a
little theater weapon. Yeah, but there was no runway for me.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, I was, I was, I was. I was doing sketchers.
I was being made to fun. I was being made
fun of them. Oh yeah, I was find opera.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
So I was this chubby little black boy in middle school.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I went to Marine Park Junior High School, the third
worst middle school in New York City. In Marine Park
like so bad, Like in middle school sixtheven and eighth
gradey they would have like cop cars lined out of
the school to get it to corrals onto the buses.
But like seventh grade, I had been jumped like five
times because I was just a bitch. I've always got
to walk like that fee duck. I've always had a

(26:01):
thick old booty walking around. Always makes fun of me
for the ship and then so like I would always
make fun of me. But as all quair kids do,
I found comfort and joy in chorus, Honey me go
to the chorus. I was one of the three boys
in chorus, and I had a low voice, like I
started growing facial hair in like seventh grade. So I
was like, could be becau sing the low notes and yeah.

(26:23):
And then after that, my teacher was like, you know what,
you should audition one of those high schools in the city.
I was like, oh, there's like audition high school. She's like, yeah,
there's a local audio's ppa. Yes, there's the one in
Queens of Frank Sinatra, all those ones. I was like, okay.
So I literally they treated like a fucking American idol
of this ship. You stand, you line, you line up
outside the school. You get a number on a cold

(26:45):
New York City morning, and you're eating your bacon and
cheese and line trying to do you a little scale
also warm up and you do like a sight singing
little scale the.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Sight sing You have the sight sing at the tender
age of thirteen fifteen.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yes, girl, and you do that. And then my audition
song was flying without Wings by Rubs.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Better And that's the joy of rings, And that's the
joy of rings. That is the joy of rings. He
was so good, but he was so good, right good,
It was good, was good. Kimberly Lock was better, was

(27:24):
the one, and Trenise was my girl.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
I love Kimberly Lock sang Somewhere of the Rainbow three
different times in the same she said, you remember this one,
always say somewhere somewhere.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
And then Clayvey came is he like a politician now?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
He tried, yeah, yeah, did you just audition for pd
A s.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
The audition for LaGuardia and PSK Sinatra And I got
into I'm sorry and Talent Limited, which I know Talent
Limited is still over here.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
It was on the limited Talent Unlimited.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Limited Talent, and I got into PPAs Tamma Talent Ulimited
and Span Sinatra, but LaGuardia said no, thank you.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
So what was the feeling because you can talk about
it now it's been enough to yeah, yeah, for sure.
What was the feeling of going to PPS knowing that
Laguardi was just up the street?

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Okay? You know, so like literally it's literally like what
fifteen blocks literally up on the same avenue off the
street on the on the west side, west side. You're
on the west side, and you know, I mean at first,
you like I didn't get into the fame school, I
didn't get into Leguardia, but like I really, I really
do feel like everything happens for a reason. Yes, And
because I went to PPAs, we had a miss write

(28:39):
name was Chhanta, right, and she was really big on like,
I know, y'all kids like y'all R and B and
your hip hop, but y'all gonna learn some culture in
this motherfucking so she would like, so she would introduce
us to opera and anthems and spirituals and stuff like that.
And we we were part of this, like touring choir
the Songs of Solomon and we would tour on spring
break and midwinter break, we would go on tours to
Canada around the state and like she was really instrumental

(29:01):
and introducing me to opera. So that's why from her,
I was like, maybe I came to opera. And I
went to Westminster Aquard College in Jersey for my degree
in music.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Head Yeah that's George. Yeah, and then you stuck around Bronx.

and I rip off a chunk of my skin the
size of like a.

God, this is incredible. Was when was Barracuda.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Barracuda started.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
So I was like work.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
After that job, I got a job at the Yale
Club of New York City, which is a very high
problem luv in Dartmouth, and I was doing that. It
was my first like union job. I was making like
thirty dollars an hour. I was living be the loco.
So I'm doing that. And then at that point I
was still like going out randomly New York here and there,
going out to a club here, no gigs. And then

(32:52):
I had picked up like one gig at the Phoenix
Bar in the Lower East Side, Like Phoenix, is she
still here with me?

Speaker 1 (32:59):
She's still I think she is. If she is, we
haven't seen her. Maybe I did, like a year and
a half stumble into the Phoenix. I think I might
have like isn't this funny?

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Like So I was doing that, became friends and Bob,
and Bob was like, you need to quit your job
at Yale Club. I was like why, He's like, Wana,
I think you really have talent to be really great
in drag. If you've on doing half measures, you never
succeeded anything.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Well, come on, Bob, I know.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
I was like a girl, I have a union job,
like I have like benefits, I have health insurance. You
dirty drag quins and you hurt yourself. You can't pay
for your health insurance. I can pay for my ship,
did you know?

Speaker 1 (33:35):
I was like what? And then like literally two weeks later,
I was like, I think he's right, and I just
quit my job. Whoa.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
And then I just wore full time in drag and
then one thing led to another. Then I got one gig,
then two gigs, and three gigs, and then by a
year after I quit that job, I had like seven
gigs over like five days.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
In the years you were the girl very fair. This
is this is like when we were really out a
lot in like our midt.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
And like we would go to see Bob. Yeah, you
would host watch parties. Yeah, watch parties.

Speaker 4 (34:04):

Drag Court and the judge and I was Ruby Rue
was the judge.

Speaker 1 (34:26):

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Those were God we were really I love about those,
like I just I loved all of that ship.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
What we were doing, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (34:46):
And and really no one can Joe and I talk about.
We used to do this filthy lip sync dance duo
which was like we were just like whores.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
We just want underwear and like drew makeup all over
our face and we were called sluck, were slut and.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Flat and fun.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
We were there to be a months where the entire
Google cow was just okay, Thursday, Saturday.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
We were yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
And there was one time when we realized like it
was over when we looked out into the crowd and
there was one person.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
It was our friend Amanda by the vines. She doesn't
know about fuck.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Ritz Crack and I. We did a show together at
on at Hardware Barns Sundays. We'll turn it on Sundays
and like, this is what I think the girls in
New York. Well, what I've heard is that girls aren't
interested in like growing shows anymore. Like they they started
doing dragging their living rooms and they're like, well, my
my booking feats one hundred fifty dollars and blah bla
blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
I was like, no, what crack, And I started that
show what turning on Sundays. I'm not kidding.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
They would be sometimes maybe two people in the audience,
one drunk lesbian and one guy sleep asleep in the
back corner name ru Paul, just to sleep, not paying
any attention to us.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
But we did the show.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
We did our thing, and we grew it and grew
it and by the time we were like, but right
before we left because we couldn't do because of drag race,
because we were traveling and stuff, we had built a
show of people would come out to you on somedings
and we like packed the bar up. But I'm like,
you gotta just you gotta work, like work for that ship.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
And then once you say, like you like learned so
many things from just being in the room in the
same space.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yes, yes, like you know, I didn't like have traditional
stand up comedy, like I was going to the cellar
and doing all the like you know how Mateo and
Nicole and all these people do.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Have so much respect I have done because it is hard.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
It's really hard.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
And Mateo would talk a lot too about being like
the only GIY guy and like how tough that was,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yeah, So I kind of did mine in my own
way by coming up in drag and like performing for
two and three people and like doing bits and throughout.
Four years ago, my agent was like, hey, Comedy Dynamics,
they want to do special before different queens. I was
like special, Like well, he's like comedy specialist. He's like,
you're interested. I was like, well, I'm not a stand
up comedian. He's like, well, yeah you are. I was
like I'm not. And he was like, I've gone to

(36:52):
your shows. I used to see New York before. I
was like, you are a stand up comedian. You just
not calling yourself. And I was like I don't know.
He's like doing your favorite Just sit down for week,
try to write some material, see where you get, and
then let's talk after that so I like to like
a week off of work, and I was just like
at home, like writing bits, going over material. I was like,
I think I have like an hour here of comedy.
That next week he booked me at the brea improv.

(37:13):
I did a brain improv, sold it out, did a
really good job, and then this is what I don't love.
The next week I recorded a special, which is not
what you do. Oh I could, I didn't know that.
So I recorded my first special ever after literally doing
the material for literally one week, right, and so it's fine.
But now I've worked on this new hour for the
past two years. This material is so fucking funny. It

(37:35):
is at such a good place. I'm so happy for
people to come see it and like these comed clothes
and they booked me and I come and at the
weekend they're like, wow, that was really good, And I'm like,
what were you expected?

Speaker 3 (37:47):
I know, like, you're not someone who does the thing
where you don't work your fucking house show up like
that was an anomoly.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, I was like, what are you? Like, what are
these girls coming when they're doing here at these clothes?
So anyway, but I'm happy that it is working out well.
And this new hour is so beautiful and with.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
It our knees gendered to you.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Because because you and we talked about how your feet,
you got foot feminization, uh, pediatric feminization, surgery podiatric okay.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Not cyminization. I mean you went to a pediatrist.

Speaker 2 (38:22):

I mean he like he is a different man now
than he He pops up on my grid and I'm like, okay.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
You know he still has some straight tendencies. We're trying
to beat them out of him for the most part. Like, okay,
this also, I recognize that I may have a tinge
of OCD.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah, okay, I think you're probably not alone here. Okay, yeah,
So like, but as game and I feel like that's
kind of a default factory setting. It's a gay power.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
It's a gay power. And Andy's late to the game.
He doesn't see these things. So I am constant he
does this thing. He got a fucking ninja creamy for Christmas.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Like a mixer.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
It basically takes you can put anything inside of it
and it can turn it into an ice cream or
a sword bat ninja creamy.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
But I am happy thinking about it. A ninja creamy.
It's so good.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
It's kind of like a nutrient bullet, but like for
making ice cream. And so he is this thing. He
makes all the disorbeys. He puts him the thing. He'll
pick one out of the out of the freezer, take
the lid off, put the lid on the counter, and leave,
and then you just have a dirty ice school on
the counter. I'm like, when literally the sink, this is lid,

(40:10):
the sink is right here. I would they just take
it and put into sin.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
One time lids on the counter. It's coachure number twenty
on the counter.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Like one time our clean lady left at like five o'clock.
I walked downstairs and at five o five there's a
dirty lid on the counter. I said, what is this
lid doing on the count? I was like, Andy, get
out here right now and wash this lid and put
it away.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
And does he do it in shame?

Speaker 5 (40:32):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (40:33):
You watch him?

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
You just I sit there and I'm gonna Avid make
the bed every morning.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
There's nothing better to me than coming back home and
just getting in a nice made bed.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
There is no excuse for your bed not to be made.
And I will full on go over to friends homes
and they allow me to come in the home when
the bed isn't made, Pillows on the ground, close on
the ground.

Speaker 1 (40:58):

Speaker 2 (41:03):
I don't top sheet, I don't top. I don't Yeah
that top she that's that's that's a step too far.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
That's a step too far, because then you got a
straighten map. Yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
That's I don't need the top sheet now. I recently
started well, I was into dou Vets. That was ordered
over because I watched like every I try every week,
Let's be honest, every two weeks is fine.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Every two And then.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
I'm like redoing the duvet was like, I was like,
I just it's such a to do. So now we
just have like three different comforters. We just rotate, we
we we vacuums steal the ones to know she's the
one that we're doing. It feels like you're you're going
cave diving.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
I still don't know what what the good plan of
attackers supposed.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
To turn it inside out, line it up, do the
roll right. People are nodding and then put take the
laby in and then put it Truly, I get that,
but that doesn't like a menace in the sheets underneath.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Like, let's go on, does you got you gotta pose
whatever TV show or podcast listening literally to focus on exactly.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, I can't do it. I've had anxious fits about it.
I'm like I can't.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
It's like why, yeah, why.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
So like little things like that.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
I'm still like nursing, you know, turning lit on.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
The counter is a big no no. And all the
points you just gained for that proposal andy out, some
of them have gone out. You're still You're still and
he's always up?

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Really is he? Would you call him? Wait?

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Did you did you abob to talk about this is
he like a fitness influencer. Now you think he's trying
to be, but like, let's it happened. He has the
full time job doing his like recovery work. I'm like,
you don't have time to finish influence.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
I think I think they work hand in him.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Well, you know, he he is.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
His whole thing is that.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Well, you know, I gotta like keep on going on
all these expensive places with these I'm just trying to
keep up. I'm like, yeah, we'll keep up, bitch, Yeah,
get a third job, get a fourth one.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Do you get five?

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Got five jobs coming out your ears? He's not doing enough.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
They'll probably too big. Would you'll ever do the Traders?

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Okay? This is this has come up like, this is
like the fourth time it's come up.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Well wait, but from someone from their show.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
Yes, absolutely so this is the first time someone from
the show. We love the show, and we said, like,
what was it? Probably two years ago we said it.
We came on an episode all brave and we're like,
we'll do it.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Ask us to do it, please, we want.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
To do it.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
And then they asked, and I don't know about you,
but I personally thought about them editing me into a
character I thought about doing reality television for real and earnest.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
And it made me very young. This is this is
what Joel can Booster says too. It's like the three
of us.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
He's kind of like influenced us in this way where
it's like they you're handing over the edit to them,
you have no idea what they'll do.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Are you over that fear?

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Now?

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Like do you still have to see?

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah? Because what I've realized in the reality I've done,
I'm like, it really just amplifies who you are. I
think both of y'all are actually funny, good, it's nicely people.
I was like, so it is virtually impossible to turn
you into some like gargling monster because that's not who
y'all are.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Who sent you here? Who sent you people who go on.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
TV and look like like Michael or what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
Because it's like and I have to say, like, I
I wonder what you think about this?

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Based on the reactions that people are earning now out
and about they feel very strong.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
But I wonder, as someone who went.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Through it, how how are you feeling with everything has
shaken out in terms of the way people are being
received the way the game is going, like fallouts, like
where do you sit in.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
All of it?

Speaker 2 (44:44):
I does this come out after? What did this come out?

Speaker 1 (44:47):
This is gonna come out not this Wednesday, but Wednesday after.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
But I think that yesterday, okay, I think that for
the most part, what what happened but in the Castle
is what is showing Again, there's so many conversations, conversations
that happened that you don't know about, so something that
you steal on TV, like, oh, that that happened.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
I didn't realize that happened.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
But for the most part, I think like how people
were behaving the Castle are what they did, Like we
all knew Colton was playing an aggressive game, you know
what I mean? And I think the cons the consensus
online is that it's a bad strategy. I don't think
it's that bad. I think it's just playing hard. They're
just playing hard. And I'm like, I'd rather, honestly, I
radther Colton than a terrorpinske. What the hell is going on?

Speaker 3 (45:30):
I'm rooting for them because if this last episode it's
like it's like the we're just like talking at the
round table about like okay, so the truth is we're
best friends, and so for that reason, I know he's
not a trainer.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
It's just like, I'm like, my god, how brave of
Tara and Johnny to come out his friends.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Girl.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
It's just also so funny too, because other people in
the house you can tell it's split from people being like, yeah,
I knew they were best friends, like I know the
terror Lepinske and Johnny weird thing, duh, and people that
are like they revealed best friends and that was the
worst thing you ever had, like Mark Ballast being like
they just really sign their death Warren, I'm like, I

(46:12):
don't know who I'm rooting for.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
I guess I'm rooting for Maura for more. Okay, the
tea about Mara, I'm not kidding.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
This is a fact.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
She said it in the Castle. Maura had not watched
a single episode of the show before winning the Castle.
Maura had no idea they were banishments. Maura had no
idea people were getting murdered.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
I Tank, someone's getting murdered. After the first night, she
was like, she was literally I think after the first
round table, I think, sorry, you're gonna go. I'm gonna go.
Sorry Oi oy Tank sings the kind of just is

(46:50):
gone shocked and stringe.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
After the after the fort she got vanished. I'm not kidding.
We all were in the everyone's really upset, yes, and
we're all in the the kitchen and she goes, it's
just gonna happen every night, and I was like, are
you doing a bit like what's happened every day? More

(47:13):
just wanted to come on to even and wear beautiful clothes,
which she did. Think she's a stunning individual. There's frames
of the show where I'm like, what and that's her
in real life? Like Maura looks like that, like more
like she like she has beautiful, gorgeous skin. She wears
like a little a little a little baby cream and
I'm a scar of baby and she's like looking stunning.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
They should do a watch a pack in for traders.
Oh that would be good.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
There. Well, you know they reach out to a little
bird told me that they've reached out to like some
people do the show.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
But a big deterrent is that you have to do
your own glam.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
For you.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
No no, no, not for me, but like for other people,
like are allegedly like they have they've asked he's doing
her own GLAMs money.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
Okay, well man, crazy town. What what do you think
is going on with her hair? I think they're wig
thank you?

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Yeah, yeah yeah, but the white goes up threads were like,
Maura is not where we're I'll like you think her
hair work, come on, booty legs overnight, they're wigs, girl.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
One hat she had was pretty genius to all our hats,
all our hats. Everything she's wearing is fearce. I will
also shout out Candace and Rinna both looked incredible all
the time. I am a little bit like I kind
of can't have Tara and Johnny get like voted out
immediately because with Candace gun they are kind of Now
I'm watching why, I'm watching Candice leaving. I'm like, should
place of glory, but like I really want her to

(48:37):
go to the end. We're to Candace House, drive back
one Record of the Year. At the Cultural Awards, hear
the thing about Candace, right, does she come for you?

Speaker 2 (48:45):
So when we had the thing and like Allen chose
chose the Traders, I was like in my mind, I
was like, I know, I just knew. I just said
to myself, I said, I know, Colton Natalie, jam Jam Portia,
and Candace. I'll say those those five, those are faithfuls.
I just feel like I just know that they are
because in this show, people like, well you can't trust
I'm like, in that game, if you don't trust people,
you have nothing.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
You have to trust something based on exactly So.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
I trusted Cannas and I said to her in the bar,
brought into the bar, no one was there. I was like, Canna, look,
I don't know if you're a faithful. I don't know
if you're a trader. You don't know if I'm a faithful.
You don't know if I'm a trader. But I'll tell
you this. If I'm a faithful, I will never bring
your name up at the roundtable. And if I'm a trader,
I will never say a name of the turret.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
I just trust you. I want to go to the
end of the game with you. She's like, she was like,
I got you. You said me too.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
The next day she when I was in the challenge
and I said, I think Lisa might be a trader.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Fuck you did? I said that to her.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
But the thing is that these little passing conversations, like
you don't think anything of it. It's just literally like
a girl. I think Lisa's trader. It was literally that
quick and that could just be and that's the thing
that gets you out. So she told Lisa that night,
But I think her her flaw there was that Candace
was not arming herself with enough allies outside of the turret.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
It was the winning strategy for Serie season one was
that she had so many als exactly playing Rob is
doing that.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Rob has so many allies outside the turrets, so he
doesn't have to have to trust Lise Arcana's because he
has and it's hire cast of people that he that
that he knows that would never wipe his name down.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
Yeah, and also he has the benefit of being on
the right side of two Traders votes. I honestly, So,
this last episode just ended and it's Kristin Kish questioning
Eric and she's like, I feel like there's something weird
with Eric, and she tells Rob. I'm like, if I'm Rob,
I because they have the option to vote out Christ
to murder Kristen, I murder Natalie. Let Kristen keep spinning

(50:32):
on Eric and then turn around be like, you're right,
it is Eric, and then you vote out three traders.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Then no one is.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
Yeah, I think Rob if he plays this next episode
well and will be a little behind and when this
releases has its sewn up.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Rob is so excellent. Well, he was so quiet. I
think he was so quiet laughing at me. It's and
I don't even I'm not even crazy about wanting to
fuck him. Yeah, that's not what it's about. I think.
Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Like, I'm like, Rob is cute.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
I'm like, but I am not. Oh no, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
People like Rob is so hot, just give me. I'm like,
he's cute.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
I think he's incredible to look at. I'm not like,
whoa falling?

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Yeah, it's not that fu But well, he's a very
sweet guy.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Though.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
He's so sweet, and he was so quiet. I was like,
I just is this Alabama or is this just homeschool?
I didn't realize like why he was just you know
what I mean? And I was only there for what
five episodes? So and I form my time that I
thought I trusted him too. I was like, oh, I
think I think Rob is a is a.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Faithful you never he never crushed her.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Mind at all. When they're revealing that little digital content
afterwards and I was like, rob I knew Lisa, and
I was shocked by Robin Candice Lisa. Yeah, I knew
Lisa her after that murder in the thing which she
told Caroline, no, you won't see me at Bram. Yeah,
and that next morning we asked her to explain the thing.
She was so obviously just picking it out of her ass.

(51:57):
Well literally and.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
MASKU is black black.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Exactly, So I was like, girl, like come on. So
that was when I was like, oh, List is a
trader for sure, and what a gag? Yeah you you
you got out being right, which my skill get Yeah,
but no, because you do not get around table. I
would rather I can fight for my life.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
So you can get the drama of persecute, like I
want to, Like, I want to curse everybody out before
they like me. I want to. I want to fight
for myself. You know, you want a tribal council. Yeah exactly, Yes, yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
You know who had a really good one last season
Sierra Miller. She was just like she went down like
a bad bitch, like she really really was good. Have
you are you guys watching? Do you watch Summerhouse? No?

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Have you watched Summerhouse? Suse it's a thick season.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
She's on it, and she's she's having an amazing season,
like she's she's really good.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Reality, what is her purpose of the summer house? Kind
of just you know, where a party in? Okay, that's it.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
You You you see them go back to the city
during the week and they're doing their little day jobs,
and then it's every week and they go to the
summer Okay.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
Got it.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Wait, so y'all answer the question. So you're on the
on the fence, you would.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
I'm on the fence. I'm on the fence, would you?
Because I had to say no because I was shooting
a movie. God, so I couldn't do.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
It that season.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
I just you know what, I'm not in. No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
They've also also it would be hard to do it
with certain people because the thing is like if we
went in.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Together, I feel like that's a Johnny and Terraces. Oh yeah,
for sure, but I mean everyone I know.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
That's the thing is we would not be able to
take I'm not talking about them because I don't want
them to know.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
We're very close, like the entire one could not hide that. No,
we can't. But I think but I think they're so like,
could you imagine Tiffany New York Pollar in this?

Speaker 2 (53:51):
And that's what I've been awaiting. What is the big idea?
I think she every because she's done every season of
House of Villains. Yeah, they feel at the same time.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
See whoever he is managing her in this regard needs
to toss the House of It's no shade to the
House of Villaine.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
But Traders is a bigger show. Traders. Would we meet her, Yes,
it would cause a commotion.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
It would be a Tiffany New York.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Gemma and Tiffany.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
We always need just one brit just up in the castle.
Bring Jay mccollins.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Please, what what you have to imagine? There is a
list with these names on it.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
I'm sure like Meanie Leaks needs to be at the
Roans and mean Less has given us Reality TV gold monologue.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Have you ever seen Celebrity of Princess with Nani Leeks.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Of course she was bullying LaToya Jackson and one time
she's literally standing over her and she's like, She's like,
that's why I go back at your age and not.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Twelve, and the LaToya looks at her and goes, you
mean all you have of me is hish I just
have a height with the th hi you just have
and it was their a whole love of word. Nani
was like bye ghost.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
She was.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
She was saying boot to a ghost, which doesn't really
make no good. He was remain it remains, remain.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
Legend and it made me so happy. It's very much
that I do think so honey to me that they
figured it out so that she can come back, because
if you're gonna do retrospectives and it's within reason, because
for some people out there, I don't think it's within reason.
But I'm so thrilled that it was within reason for
Ninni and Andy to come back together and for people

(55:29):
like to get what they need so that this can
all happen.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Which means she's in good grace with Peacock, which could
be Peacock the traders some like cross my fingers ever
get the leaks on traders. At some point of course
we the part. I was just gonna say media and
I'm not doing my own glam.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
But you don't think an exception could be made. You've
been on the inside.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Let me tell you something that show they care so
much about the integrity of the game they do not play.
Everything is in secrecy and they make sure that you
were really having the real experience day don't fuck around.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
You can tell.

Speaker 4 (56:02):
You can tell because the way you guys are treated
like someone's been killed exactly.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Yeah. Yeah yeah, And like I used to watch him
like these these celebrities need to get a live girl.
No one's really dying. Everyone calmed down the after Porsche.
I was like, we should have a usage.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Yeah, this is really because you believe the reality that
you're in.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
And by the way, like they do an amazing job
of creating atmosphere and Alan is so instant.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Can you talk about like how it feels to have
his theater in those moments?

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Yes, so thank you, thank you for saying that Alan
is really I mean, he's a theater actor. Like Alan.
This is Alan's bad. Alan is doing his thing. Alan
is is He's so grand and so major, and he's
so presentational and everything he does. When you walk into
that roundtable, you walk in there and they play the
hanging Tree from from a from the fucking Hugger game
from the Hunger Games. Wow, because it's just sets the mood,

(56:53):
it sets the vibor. You're like oh shit, And we
we all sit there in silence and we'll listen to
the song through. Then Alan comes in gives a speech
and they let you go and you just go. And
it's always like who's going to talk first? It's going
to speak first because it's like nerve wracking, and then
someone breaks the silence to do it. And we're going
at it for like an hour, an hour and hour fifteen.

(57:14):
It's a long ass time and it needs to edit
down to like ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
And how intense does it get like emotionally, like do
you feel like it's captured on the screen. Oh?

Speaker 2 (57:24):
No, I think it's I think I think no, I
think it feels more in person. Like the really intense
one when I was there was when Tiffany was getting unbanished.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
That that was such a bummer.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Yeah, but it was even more intense Tiffany was going
in because like she was, she she was going off
for a while and then people going back and forth
with her and she was like, listen, I'm here from
my son.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
She was like, She's like, I'm here from I'm sitting
I'm sending a I was saying, an eight year old
black go to college in three months, She's like, I'm
here for this money, but you know, if you'll, if
y'all don't think I'm I'm a faithfulness to send me home,
send me the fuck home right now. Then it was
just sitting there like, oh wait, I do believe her now,
but yeah, I know it's still got to go home.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
But so at that point, like you're still thinking, like
I can't stick my neck.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Yeah, because I'm like, what is just a really good actress?
I was like, I was like I had this gut
feeling that is her go.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
But you know who earned it, Danielle Danielle because she
swore on her what her? Yeah, but you know what,
I think that's fair fair game.

Speaker 3 (58:22):
If I'm going to break down, bent myself out of
shape and swear on my grandson and I'm lying, and
you believe me, I bet myself out of shape, I'm
not not paying for it. I'm the one who did
the deal with that.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Also, I miss her just over this hop like campness.
My favorite was I think like it was towards the
and and someone cried and she someone got bantage and
she's there, the hands are shaking.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
She's like, people did way too much on her because
it was so fun to watch her. I'm like, and
I also tend to think people are doing too much
on everyone because ultimately, at the end of the day,
every episode has been so good and if someone is.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
Flopping, that's also part of what makes it good. That's great.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
Yeah, celebrity UK Traders, did you watch? I did with
Alan Alan Carr and it was a great season. I
heard the New Civilian one is I heard the best season? Great?
Oh yeah, ones are amazing because they maybe they want
that coin they want.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
And then they with the most random job, like the
Clairvoyant season two. Clairvoyant was truly out of this world.
But this I think season one of Australia my favorite Traders,
Like season one of Australia. Season two of Australia it
really went off the roads. But season one of Australia
and I think, like, honestly, every season of UK Traders.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
They're still like I never watched the New Zealand one
because I was like, we're in like an airbnb.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
What is this.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
I was like, it's just someone's someone's summer house. I'm like,
this is an eventful and I'm not watching it.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
And you're a Survivor, Girly Survivor you brought you were
the first person to bring Survivor and drag Race.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
I feel, yes, yes, I wanted to. I want to
play that game. And I did that little Influencer Island
this past summer, which was fun.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Thirty six hours.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Yes, and I was like, you know what, They're gonna
be nice, so it They're not going to be that
crazy baby. It was the real experience. We were really
out there and that on that beach, cold cold, it
rained on us from three pm until like six am
the next morning. And I was like, it's surely it's
like a health hazard, Like they can't do this, and

(01:00:29):
they're like, oh no, yeah, go sit out here, just
us and one cameraman on this beach. It was insane.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Could you do the show? Not after the rain? It's
hard to be cold. It's hard to be cold. I mean,
I wouldn't do it. I think I would, though I
love Survivor so much.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
Though you get the opportunity to do I'm like, you
know what, just what's what's carpetium carpetdium? Bitch?

Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
But not Mike White just getting back from doing his
second season and then came back in full on wrote
White Loaded, and like they're casting it and going, I'm like,
how do you have the capacity to go do season
fifty right and then come back and fully the biggest
show TV? And now it's going and like, I don't
know like it because the word on the street is

(01:01:16):
it's going to be a really good season.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
I heard.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
I hope so because you know there's you know, there's
a Yallowig survivor fans. Yeah, there's a lot of you know,
the fans do not like necessarily like the new era.
So I'm hoping with bringing back majority old era players,
we'll get more of that gameplay.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
It's merging, it's merging all of it, right, It's like
it really is like a beautiful cross section of like
the entire history of the show.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
That what feels like, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
I mean they certainly got from season one to season
forty nine. Yeah, missus Jenna from Borneo the first season,
Jenna Lewis, she's like the biggest veteran, huh. And then
obviously Colby is back. I'm still not over that they
don't have Jerry Manthea on that beach. Jerry's not back
for that's not and even Colby now is doing press
being like I'm not even gonna lie, like I got

(01:01:59):
there because it's his actual first season without Villains together
Heroes and Villains and the first All Stars and Australian Outback,
so he was like, hit the beach for the fourth time.

Speaker 1 (01:02:10):
She wasn't there, not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
She deserved to be there and like apparently they said
in a recent interview a lot of what they didn't
show in season twenty Heroes Versus Villains was Jerry and
Kolby going off to fish together and actually forming a
relationship of friendship, like just genuinely being like, let's do
something together. Yeah, And he said that their history like
actually moved forward. So he said, had she been on

(01:02:34):
the beach for fifty I would have been like, let's
play together, let's play.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
Together this and how fun would that?

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
So as a fan, that should have been delicious to watch.
One thing I will say about Jeff Probes is that
that man you know, you know from Drag Race and
other shows, like a lot of times the hosts they
had the air piece in and they're getting fed stuff
and Jeff does not refuses to word to air ros.
He raw dogs the whole thing. He is looking up talking,
like getting information on every character. When he does call,

(01:03:00):
it's like, so, Matt, so you you worked at a clamshack.
How is that going to survivor? Like he knows to
a torreta like, well, I was vulnerable. He goes into
detail on all every and everyone. He's doing that from
his brain. He's not getting fed by producers. He loves
that show so much. When you are learning the challenge,
Jeff is running you through. The challenge is not not

(01:03:21):
not a challenge producer. Jeff is coming and like running, Okay,
You're gonna grab the snake and like he's like, so,
I was very impressed by that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
He's an icon. He's not. Did you watch Australia Versus
the World? Yes, poverty my girl harvedy.

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
I thought, you know it was applauding. I actually thought
someone left to their feet. I was like, actually knowing
the tea, which is that it's that it's.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
Killed that by the way.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
To see Suri come back and Trader season one and
just dominate, and then seeing Parvity dominate Australia out Back,
don't forget Suri also was dominant up until the very end,
just like she did in Micronesia, and Soria's back for
Survivor's season fifty and I am praying, yeah, that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
It goes well. I don't know how it could because
they're going to see her and be like, yeah, you
gotta go. Yeah, the threat girl.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
She's a threat.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
She's such a good game play and she also like
you know that every fan in the world is going
to be on her side if you do care at
all about the edit, better to just get her out
really quick.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
She can't get to the end. And you read the
one looking mittery at the end being like, sorry, I'm
trying to be everyone in the world rooting against you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
Yeah. No, Soias. She's good and she's an I met
her a few times a person. She is so sweet.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Yeah, it's just a kind just a kind nurse. She
was working the hospitals during COVID.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
Yeah, yeah, crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Yeah, we'd be were missed not to ask about drag Race.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
You and Bob are doing the watches, the watch watchery. Wow,
what are your thoughts so far?

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
I think this season is going very well. I like
the girls a lot. I like that the median age
is not twenty one girls in their thirties. Yeah, and yeah,
you know what records is what it is. I think
fans who watched Draggers are expecting something different, like it's
the same producers, the same like what like it's the
same show.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
It's comfort viewing it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
It's exactly, it's comforting. We're we're gonna get a stach game.
We know we're gonna get designed like it's gonna like
it just is what it is. People get frustrated, like
why don't they? I'm like, it is is, this is
what it is, exactly what I'm enjoying it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:18):
I can't believe there was They made Jan Sports with
her name not to Jan because they were fearing a lawsuit.
But they let Sierra miskeeper because I guess yours doesn't
exist anymore?

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
What they don't.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Yeah, it's no more.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Sorry, sorry, getport out of business. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Differently too, So maybe that's the thing to cause Sierra
miss was s I e. They are like want to step.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
Yeah, step right, it's actually rule of culture number fifteen
one two steps.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
I Mia Star is my favorite A star. I like
her to me.

Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
I just I like the Dion's the Dion's. Yeah, the
Dion's juicy and Athenis do you see anything? I do
like d because she's a done for girl. Okay, I
think the most memorable thing about the whole thing is
watching Discord Adams walk.

Speaker 1 (01:06:09):
Of course, of course that walk is good. The walk
is so good for me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Yeah, and a lot of people are turning on Jane Dome,
which I like her. She's why because she seems a
little perturbed in all of her interviews. She's always like
kind of like mean, mugging and like rolling her eyes
like these girls. I think people get into vibe like
she feels like she's better than the competition, which I
mean to be honest, she is very funny, her runways
are incredible and so she's like killing it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
So people always, I don't know, it's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
Sometimes people really love like the one that's like shining
above everyone, like Sasha Colby, Jakes, Bonsuen, etcetera.

Speaker 1 (01:06:43):
But then you have someone like James who's doing a
good job, but people are like, no, not her. Yeah,
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Maybe it doesn't have to do with like the energy
that she brings to it, like that gets reflected back.

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Yeah. Yeah, interesting, I'm Kenya, please her fan.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Of course, she has nothing more to offer her. She
has to go home, I think, didn't she No, No,
she was saved by the raid of Queen. She was
saved by the rad Yeah. I love Kenya too, but
she has nothing else to give not great runways, does it?
Doesn't You don't know what.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
Her lip sync?

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
You don't know the words to your own song. Yeah,
that's insane to me that in.

Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
The Year of Our Lord twenty twenty six, you kind
of have to go up there and know the words
to your at least.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
To your songs.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
And you were the vocals to a few weeks ago.
Like what that was insane in an unpadded room, you
know what I mean? Wait, what was the last thing
you lip synced?

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Lip sync? Okay, so it had been a while, yes,
but you know, every once a year I try to
do a show at my I used to do my
one woman show on Saturdays at Hardware, just a good
old nasty drag.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Hard exactly hard drag show.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
Me doing an opening number to the Gospel Truth from Hercules,
doing like three or four lipsing numbers doing it, then
do the drag suicide of the end.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
So I did that like two weeks ago at Hardware
and it was I juice, I go, oh, it was great.
It was great.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
It was so good and like and I will never
ever not want to do a show like that because
now I don't really get to do shows like that ever.
Coming back once a year in New York and just
doing it. The bar was packed up to the front door,
and it was just a great time. I had a
great time.

Speaker 1 (01:08:11):
We need to bring back those times.

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
Honestly, it's bumming me out to know that so much
happens online, Like comedy is that's how commedy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
It's for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
I mean, like all community driven activities, whether it's like
watching drag, going to see comedy, et cetera. It's just
you have to be in rooms earlier, like you have
to learn from each other what feels good. I agree
with you, Like I really think it's important. And I
think I get really bummed out. Maybe because it's this
time of year, it's very cool. We all feel extra

(01:08:41):
inside and so I think we're extra on our phones,
but especially with everything going on the way it's been
going on, like it's all very isolating and just to
like here you were out there doing a show, like
I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Know we have to be in rooms.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
Oh no, for sure, we have to be in rooms.
It was great.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
The energy was dope.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
And afterwards, like I like ran back to my hotel,
I changed, I went to go see Fred again.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
I did Molly into like four o'clock. So good was
that That new venue in Queens.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
It's like a studio, it's like a sound stage they
make into a performance hall.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
Wait, are you a Coachella person?

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Never been? And I got jealous when I saw y'all there.
You know what come with us?

Speaker 3 (01:09:18):
I he had never been to last year. He got
obsessed with it three years in a row. I did
not think I was going to be the kind of
person either. You really can figures your arms at it? Yes,
I understand, I was.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
I was you want.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
You one? Okay, maybe I'll try it. I was just
like everyone who describes Coachella, and they make this sound
like it's such a to do, Like they make it
sounds as like burning Man.

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
You have to like there is so much good real
music though, like get over the logistics bullshit, which there
is a lot of.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
Once once you're like in, you're like this is great,
truly genuinely like wonderful, okay, but.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
You gotta see something about it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:52):
It boulders is your cynicism in a way that you're like,
oh look, there's like sure, like I'm on a little
bit of shrooms, but like there's like a kid there
like dancing yo gabaga.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
It's sweet, okay, cynicism And I heard synesthesia. I'm like, wait,
you can see colors.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
Literally, I'll never forget, like it was two years ago,
Like there was a day that was just really really
really like hot, Like I walked by and there was
this young singer singing this song called the Hardest Part
and it was Olivia Dean and I was like remember her. Oh,
so I was like you can see and we saw
Victoria Monet and that show was sick. This was after

(01:10:27):
she had won Best New Artist and stuff, so she
was kind of popping off. But Chapel Roone the show
that made her launch. Like we were watching, Yes, you
can see some really cool stuff about a year two
years in advance at Coachella, like during the day at
those smaller tents, like I really like just seeing who's around,
just going where there's energy, like some people will We're

(01:10:49):
all gonna go see this and it'll be someone I've
never fucking heard of, and I'll go there and be like, oh,
I feel like I was able to catch a vibe.
It's being in rooms. These are all outdoor tents.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
That's why I like it. Okay, maybe I'll try this year.
Then who's headline?

Speaker 4 (01:11:02):
Do we know who's Carol g Justin Bieber? Okay, yeah,
so I had a cat thrown in there. That's a
good variety.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
Okay, only festival I've ever been to his a cl
city limits. I always get jealous. They always have great.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
It was great and that was That's that's my Messissa
for the first time.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
I'm like I met her.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
I was like on my flight, I was like leaving
La to just fly to Austin, just go see her
love michirl. Yes, it was before s os I came out,
so it was after control, but she had had some
singles like whatever, and then so I'm like, I'm on
my flight, I got I was. I was sitting in
seat one B and I'm like sitting there just on
my phone. It was they had the good WiFi. Someone

(01:11:41):
Instagram and looking at stories and then I get to
her stories randomly. I'm like, oh, I was like, she's yeah, wait,
that was like adult. I was like, I saw someone
with that outfit on bitch. I look back and she
is in seat three C on the isle, like two
seats behind me. I was like, oh my god, God.
So I text patting myself.

Speaker 1 (01:12:00):
I was like Patty. Patty was on my flight and
he was like, go say.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
I was like, what, can't say hi to her?

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
Talk to me?

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
And He's like I just I was like, no, I'm
not doing a girl that's still annoying.

Speaker 1 (01:12:08):
I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
So we land, I get off the jet bridge. I
was like, you know what I should say? I was like,
you just wait here at the end of the jet bridge,
like by the ticket count. Let me just say hi.
So she comes off and then I go, hey, I
don't want to bother you. I'm I'm coming here to
ac im my na is Monet. I'm a huge fan
of yours. I'm so excited to see this weekend. She
was like me and my team knew that was you.
She was like, we love you. I was like you.

(01:12:31):
I was like, I love you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Of course she knew.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
I was like, why would she know that?

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
I was I was still gagged. I was like, I'm
a huge fan. I was like, I'm just so excited
to see you. She's like, well, do you have tickets.
I was like, yeah, tickets already. She's like, well, take
my sistant's number and she will like make sure that
you guys have like a nice private space to watch it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
And I was like, okay, great to get the number,
and then I leave to go the baggage claim. I
wait for my bag. Her and her assistant walk over
to me.

Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
She's like, just so you know, Hugh was texting, this
is my assistant here, and they were talking while like
being both from the East Coast because she's from Jersey,
I was like, I'm from New York. Blah blah blah blah.
Because I didn't want it to get awkward, I was like, oh,
I got myself, now I'll leave. Didn't have my bags,
but I just didn't want to say anything weird, so
I just like dipped out, waited for her to get
her bags, went back to get I was like, let

(01:13:17):
me just leave it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
I don't weird. It's like it's like when you reach
a point where you're like I can only mess the size.

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
Exactly let me walk away and just wait till she
leaves and then get my ship. But she was literally
the nicest, so nice, like so sweet.

Speaker 1 (01:13:34):
But it has such a funny interaction.

Speaker 4 (01:13:36):
Oh, I just I just went up to her when
she was at SNL. This is like right before i
SS came out, and I was like, you are we
did promise to get the Pikiki. I was there when
they first met. I was there and I was like,
I looked at her. I've said this since control. I
was like, you are our generations Joni Mitchell. And then
she went she went wide and she was like, oh
you like me, like me?

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
That is so accurate though it is, yes, it's her
confessional shit.

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
Yeah. And also I.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
Feel like everyone, just like you know, celebrates the pen,
celebrates the pen, celebrates the pen. Her voice is so easy.
Her voice is so easy, She's so musical. She's always
like it's just like her voice is in her brain.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
Yes, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
It's like you feel her thoughts as she sings. She's
literally a thoughtful singer. I say the same thing about
like Sarah Burrell sometimes where it's like I feel like
you hear how smart the voice?

Speaker 2 (01:14:34):
I agree? Well, also because you can tell that when
she writes like sometimes like people are like right, they
will like get the track and they're writing to the track,
and can tell Sissa is she she goes home, she
does her journaling, and she's taking her stories and just
like sometimes freestyling it to a b and just finding
what works. So I feel like she's she's a singer
that write, that writes like a rapper, and I'm obsessed

(01:14:54):
with her, whatever her process is. I'm obsessed with how
she's able to fit these fucking soliloquies. Yes to like
this like verse chords, prey, hooked, whatever, it's dope, She's
the best.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
So good, Okay, I think it might be time. It's time,
it's time for having honey.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
So this is of course that moment when there are
three moments each a minute in length, and they all
are and I don't think so, honey, a little tantrum
on culture.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
I have something. It's based in the lives experience.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
Okay, this is Matt Rodgers. Okay, so many as time
starts now.

Speaker 3 (01:15:29):
I don't think so, honey. Melatonin, you are demonic, you
are diabol for your devilish Yeah. I wake up in
the morning. It's depression of fourth duh huh, didn't even
mean to do that. I honestly, I have had the
most vivid dreams after taking these pills. Also, I've also
been on like xiproso they've been like interacting. I think

(01:15:51):
I am waking up and I don't know what's real.
I had a dream that we wrote a whole film
years ago, years ago, we wrote a whole film, that
it was getting success at the Sundance Film Festival. And
I was like, I don't think we wrote a film,
and they were like, no, you did. You just don't
remember it. And I was like what and they were like,
you're getting a claim at Sundance.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
And I woke up and I thought for about fifteen minutes,
like bohen and I have a film at sundown.

Speaker 5 (01:16:14):
Fifteen seconds because I took two three milligam mega milligam
gummies of melatonin and I'm depressed for six hours because
I think I'm losing my mind, and also depression I melatonin, no,
you take, you don't give.

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
And that's one minute you take, you don't give, you take.

Speaker 3 (01:16:34):
And it's not my first time being in like sort
of a moment of not feeling great, and then melatonin.
You take it to help you sleep and it wakes
you wake up and things are worse. I think melatonin
is a deal with the devil.

Speaker 4 (01:16:47):
I think you can make it, like Dwayne Read, you
make it, Dwayne Raid if it still exists. The veil
was so thin between the world of the dream where
we had written a Sundance but you in the dream
were like, you guys are gaslighting me.

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
We don't have a movie. I literally was telling them
in the dream. I was like, we didn't do this.
They were like, you did.

Speaker 3 (01:17:09):
You are getting a claim You wrote and directed this
film together. And I was chatting with him and he
was a gas we know.

Speaker 1 (01:17:17):
It was like it was like an au.

Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
Term moment when we were having our autterm moment at
the sun Dance Film Festival. I swear to god, I
lived this and I woke up and I was like,
I can't believe that this thing we did from college
or something, because I started to really believe it, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
I can't believe we're ever gonna claim this one is
film festival, which by the way, passed past this.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
This is way past the Sundance Film Festival. Isn't Yeah,
this happened last week while I was in Milan, because
I don't know where I am.

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
We've been traveling and taking drugs, drugs.

Speaker 4 (01:17:48):
Someone just told me James Cameron had a dream in
middle school that was Avatar.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
Oh my no, he made Is this true? How do
I know that's true? That's true? Really?

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
See, this is what the straight guys behind the camera. No,
I know that James Cara had Alvatar illustrations.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
James Cameron is so rich that he invents new technology
for every movie his I watched those ridiculous when they
have like a sponge and like some mops bristles on
their heads and they're like.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
Hey, hey, I'm a film guy. Do you guys want
to know how I think we can go to the
bottom of the ocean and.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
Feel like and like they make. They have to invent
new technology for his movies. It's insane.

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
Has anyone seen Fire and Ash yet?

Speaker 5 (01:18:32):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
You have?

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
I did?

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
Did you see?

Speaker 2 (01:18:35):
It's so good?

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
We're like Avasar hive. We we really love the French.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
I mean in this in this last one, they really
sent her a spider and I'm like, okay, they really
spiders spider spider stories.

Speaker 3 (01:18:48):
I forgot the kid's name was Spicy. Yes, yes, I
heard she was giving everything though.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Which which oh yeah, she was great. She was so good.

Speaker 3 (01:18:59):
It was called her is countress because I feel like
that's counts hunter hunter, countress, hunter contress.

Speaker 1 (01:19:09):
She is the villain.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
She's amazing. I love her her acting and just oh,
it's so good, She's everything. Okay, I'm watching. That's an
edible arrangement.

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
I'm telling you, I'm seeing Wuthering Heights. I'm seeing Avatar
fire and ash. I'm seeing the moment and then I'm
surely passing the fucked.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
Out triple feature.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Okay, bow Yang, do you have such a topic.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
I do.

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
Okay, this is Bowen Yang's. I don't think so, honey,
and his time starts now, I don't think so, honey.
Orthodn tics orthodon, sure, I don't. I think the desire
for straight teeth is like a sham, right, Like if
I had fucked up teeth, I think I would be
a more interesting person. I think straightening my teeth has
taken texture away from my personality. I would have had

(01:19:50):
to overcome more if I had a gap tooth. If
I I think, I think orthodonture is maybe the beginnings
of a body dyst morphia that is permissible. I don't
think it's a gender dysphoria. I think it's a body
dysmorphia where you're like, something's wrong with me. I have
to correct it rather than accepting it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:20:10):
I just came from the dermatologists, and I think that
is also. I would not I would not be as
eager to go there and get a guy's laser beamed
at my face. I did not suffer as a teenager
in a formative time in my life to let someone
poke around in my mouth and put metal and rubber
bands in it, to give, to give society permission to

(01:20:30):
and to to mess with this what what is already
maybe just fine to begin with.

Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
And that is what the first of all, you glow,
shimmer and more. And second of all, let me see
it to you. To Siamese baby tooth, talk to more
about that. It was one tooth that rooted as one
and then branched off into two Siamese.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
Oh wow, it's probably not that. It's not it's not
the woke thing to say, probably to the Siamese population.
We were when I had to conjoined and I I
we stand with the Siamon, you stand with the Siamese,
and that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
Would be that would be a conversation started.

Speaker 4 (01:21:12):
And now I just I don't know. I feel like
I feel like I should have just left the saloon,
you know what I mean. But you've you've even.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
Well you know I wanted to get Veneers.

Speaker 1 (01:21:24):
No, don't so.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
So this was this is after visil Line. Yes, I
was in the city. I had my my lesbian doctor
to doctor Harrison. I love doctor, you say, doctor, doctor docta.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
And then I went to her and I was like,
I want to get Vineer. She's like, no, you're not.
I was like, I want to get Veneers. She was like,
I can't afford it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
Now she's like no, She's like, you're gonna You're gonna
get in visiline and you'll be fine, trust me. And
I am happy I got a Visiline there.

Speaker 3 (01:21:47):
You I mean, they look they're they're glow and in
the dark. Remember that song, Yeah, that was like a
song for like a seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
Well, you know, teeth like health is genetic because my
first like, I'm until I was like I didn't say
like flossing like I should as an adult.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
Until I was like twenty two, I will like go
to and eat Landa and I not.

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
But it's because, like a lot of it is just
genetically like just I didn't have to work very hard
to maintain my teeth.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
I think my teeth are gaining space, Like I think
my teeth are trying to run away. Like I look
at my teeth and I'm like, there's more space between
these motherfuckers than I know there was, And I'm going
to get to the bottom of it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
It's a knives out mystery in my mouth. Social distancing
is over social distance. That said your titties are social distancing.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Yeah, she she did.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
She said she said to someone that their titties were
social distancing. And I forget to whom.

Speaker 4 (01:22:43):
And when it happened Atlanta during COVID, I think was
doing better than other franchises during COVID.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
Yes, fucking love Williams' icon.

Speaker 1 (01:22:53):
I am obsessed with her. She's so funny, she's.

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
I was so mad when I saw a porch with it,
was like, yeah, yeah, I get to play with Porsche.
Williams obsessed portion get it wrong for me, and her
ass is insane in real life. Yeah, of course, it's
a literal show. Wait, did people pick up this on
like on like TikTok or anything like?

Speaker 4 (01:23:12):
I think her Round table where she got banished some
I think I think it was more who like literally
said who said that? Like someone said who said that
at round run it back, go back and watch it
happened someone says, who said So I thought funny.

Speaker 1 (01:23:34):
Watched it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
And she'll be on the reunion too. I think the
thing that this road trip that they just did Girls Trip.
Have you watched Potomac this year?

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
You know, I've never watched Potomac.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
I heard is good.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
I never watched it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:47):
It was by far our favorite. Then like something didn't happen.
It just got a little weird, and then it's had.

Speaker 1 (01:23:53):
A really good season. Okay, I'll go back. Salt Lake City, Potomac.

Speaker 3 (01:23:58):
Those are franchises that when I'm really and usually Beverly Hills,
but just kind of lost me this year.

Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
I don't know. At least the word is not on
Beverly Hills anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:24:06):
She hasn't been for a few years.

Speaker 2 (01:24:07):
Okay, But on her last season she was like a
villain on it apparently, yes, deeply, Yeah, she.

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
Was deeply villainized on her last season and I really
think she was having like a very hard personal time
this morning. She was, Yeah, she was their whole story,
a lot of the storyline this year on Beverly Hills
in the beginning anyway, And then it has come up
a bunch is that Garcela left like that, like they
can't seem to stop, like they're running in circles about
why Garcela left.

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
I'm like, she left because she didn't like you guys. Yeah,
she was over it, like she was over this was
her job for her.

Speaker 3 (01:24:37):
Yeah, I was like she was she was done, yeah,
being on this cat Yeah, and they just can't arrive there.

Speaker 1 (01:24:44):
No, well maybe it was because we did it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
I was like, she didn't like you.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
Yeah, I'm going to leave the podcast. No, come on,
come on, Okay, you're ready, this is the moment. I
am ready. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:24:59):
This is my exchanges. I don't think so many your
time starts now. I don't think so honey about people
showing me pictures of their children.

Speaker 1 (01:25:06):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
The other day, I had the privilege of being in
the Delta one.

Speaker 1 (01:25:11):
What privilege.

Speaker 2 (01:25:11):
And I was trying to to enjoy my sausage Porbridge
and as woman comes over to me. She's like, oh
my god, are you MONA exchange is like, yes, I am,
and she's telling me she talked to me. She's like,
you know, I love dragons. You guys really help me
out through my pregnancy. Thank you so much for your
hard work. Beautiful, I love her. That do you mind
if I show a picture of my of my of
my of my daughter, to which I said sure. She
pulls out a picture and Season ten was ten, about

(01:25:33):
eight years ago. I'm expecting to see at least a
college age student. She pulls out a picture of a baby.
I'm telling y'all, one straight out the pussy, you know,
when it's still wrinkly, the eyes are still closed, it's
still covened in chlorophyll.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
I cannot wait fifteen seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
So I was like, I don't even need to be
accosted by a picture of a newborn baby at six
o'clock in the morning in adulta loungehere, I'm going to
be eating bacon, sausage, egg and cheese. Not, I don't think,
So keep your chidrens pictures to yourselves and only my permission.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
If I asked, then you show me until then, don't
do it. And that's one minute. That's one minute. You're
never gonna ask to see if I will not that
will never not right, not girl, rare baby, rare.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
Rare baby. This baby's medium rare. Like you just gave
birth to Lord Voldemort.

Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
Okay, you have to baby, you have to jail covered
in chlorophyll or whatever this stuff is on it, don't
I see it?

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
I just wow.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
Yeah, the last thing in the morning should be the
egg samwich exactly, not the baby.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
And I had to look at this thing.

Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
I had to pretend to be like, oh my god,
that's the nice thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:26:37):
And so she was basically saying that she was watching
season ten Super eight years after or seven years after
it aired.

Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
You know, No, she was watching it in real like
when she was id. She was watching she was having
a hard pregnancy and watching drag Race really helped her out.
And I guess you showed me a picture of the
baby when the baby was born, right, But I don't
know why I would have seen updated picture, Like what
is Cynthia doing now? I need to know what she's

(01:27:06):
growing in going into It was eight years ago, I know,
is that crazy?

Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
What is time? Honestly, I think my favorite seasons were
nine and ten, like really of all drag Race, yes, six, six, eight, nine, ten, four.

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
The thing is, I like when it got a little
bigger too. I loved when it was like trust me,
like those were the golden age years. Definitely, like five, six,
like eight was like truly like when it got big,
it felt like for community reasons. And then nine ten
it did have the mainstream moment that I think I

(01:27:43):
really liked watching nine, like the pinnacle of drag Race
for me will always and forever be.

Speaker 1 (01:27:49):
I love finale of nine. It was a few.

Speaker 3 (01:27:52):
Episodes of nine like just good, yeah, a true neck
and neck and then Sasha coming out of nowhere like yeah.
And any time a season of reality show of reality
show ends at its climax, that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
And also like all those like earlier seasons were on Logo.
Those were like the dark days of drag Race. They
paid those bitches when they.

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
Were they were really being.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
They were really being broken.

Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
They were broken down and they were awful then.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
And also like you think back to the early seasons, y'all,
season two of drag Race, they wasn't even lace frunts.
They all had at harsh Front. There was not literally
not a single laceprint was on the show. The first
lace print to Everybody and Dragons was Manila in season three.
What yeah, Manila historical facts. It is historical facts, stop
or something. He's the first lace print. And back then

(01:28:48):
they were all wearing Charlotte Rouss and wet Seal like
that drag. Then the bitches are wearing like Customer to
Valentino was.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
You know, could be making the whole collection.

Speaker 2 (01:29:02):
Also, y'all see the Sriana Runway show where Cocoa was
wearing a beautiful gown and Leslie Jones is like, come on,
Coco and like just like this show, by the way
that dressed Coco. Yeah, just screaming, just scareaming. I was like,
Leslie Jones, I love her.
