(00:08):
I'm glad I put those headphones on because had we recorded that
whole episode and then you couldn't hear us, I would have
been. That would have been really
funny, actually. The the audio volume is all the
way down like this and all you can hear is just us whispering.
It's just like. The ASMR episode, yeah, that'd
be y'all. Don't want that from me.
Is this recording? Oh no.

(00:30):
That's the intro, that's the intro that's the intro, that's
the intro. My neck hurt.
Oh, what if I? I would.
Oh God. Not here on the pod.
Not for episode 15. And not before we switch to
video. I don't at least get it on
video. Is this 15 or 16?

(00:53):
I hope it's 15. Oh.
Do you know what I just did? I just accidentally clicked the
ball in the bristle. I just was like 2 county bitches
click. Yeah, yeah.
Oh my God. Wow.
Yeah, this is episode 16. Cool, cool, cool.
You're correct. Well, because I knew I didn't

(01:14):
take notes and I just made-up everything I said for episode.
15 I did the same thing, great for one and so I was off 1 as
well. Anyway, we do.
Yeah, welcome to episode 16. We can count.
No, we can't. Well, I think we previously
talked about not being able to count.
I'm Kalana unless it's in numbers of two or fifteen.
Yeah, Well, and. See, that's why this has to be

(01:36):
the last episode, because if we did one more, it would end on 17
and we just. Can't do it Oh, you're right.
I have that all the way. The bottom of my notes say is
this the end of season 1 question mark?
So yeah, OK, but that means we have to do because we talked
about doing a cutting room floor.
We have to do cutting room floorand we.
Have to do the pride. Yeah, but it's going to be even.

(01:58):
So yeah, it'll be even anyways, I'm.
Not putting that pride shit on the air.
I'm so sorry. It, well, I don't know how well
that's The thing is. Still telling what it caught.
And you'd have to listen to seven hours of audio I'm.
Not listening to that. Yeah.
Love y'all. Yeah, you should have come to
Pride. Yeah, that was the.
Episode a lot of people and I find comfort in this a lot of
people really loved our bantering back and forth that's

(02:21):
good Even so much so that somebody turned to another
person and was like they should have a podcast they're really
good at this and the girl looks at her and goes well if I got
news for. You you want more of this?
What's that? That?
Michelle says at the end of the You want some gay shit?
You. Want some gay shit?
Well this and apparently this wonderful lady drives like 7

(02:45):
hours a week or. Something so we don't have
enough. Content.
I was like, well, you'll get through episode one in a week or
season one in a week. Yeah, sorry.
We'll see you next year for Season 2.
Bless it, I don't. Want to name names because I
don't want to. That is so funny now.
Well, then it's also like we didtry to like balance.
Like, we wanted to have, like, fun little quippy moments but
also keep the show moving. Well, yeah, we were there not to

(03:09):
talk necessarily, but to, like, keep things moving.
So like there were like, let's be performers.
You know, yeah. You wanted to hear us.
You like us. You really like us?
It did work out though, because we were, because we're so used
to talking, it was so easy to like banter, to be like, hey,
somebody's running late, so we're just going to delay 5
minutes. We.
Can absolutely. Or we were kind of a little
early and we were doing that on purpose, or at least I was

(03:32):
because I was trying to build infor the rain.
Delay. No.
And it worked perfectly. I mean, we didn't have the rain
delay when we normally do, but it was kind of crazy that there
was a moment where like, hey, we're actually like 1520 minutes
ahead of schedule. Let's build in.
Slow down. Yeah.
Slow down a little bit. Yeah.
Oh, anyways, welcome to episode 16.
I'm Skittles. Hi, I'm Kalana.
I forgot to say my name. We were talking.
I mean, you just had a thought. You had to keep going.

(03:53):
Yeah, y'all want some gay? But we hosted our first Pride
fest. It was so honestly, it was one
of the coolest things I've ever done.
I had so much fun. Couldn't stop talking about it
because for the first time in eight years I got to actually
watch Pride on the plane. And this was the first, I think
I, the very first Pride fest I went on at like 1215.

(04:16):
And so the rest of the day, I yeah, now y'all have to remember
it. I've only been doing drag for
like 30 seconds during the very first Pride fest.
Yeah, it was literally, literally.
She's a baby. Yeah.
Oh, my ear just popped. Now you're getting old if your
ears popping. Well, they'd be doing that I

(04:36):
got. I got allergies.
But no, it's a very like cool full circle moment.
Shut up. Oh my God, it was a beautiful
full circle moment to go from being one of the like the first
or second performer of the day for for the first part of the

(04:59):
plains past. Yeah, one of the the here's some
local girl kind of situation andI looked busted.
I wrote it was bad and we have pictures.
I thankfully not that many, but yeah, no, to go from doing the
very first part of the Plains Pageant, the very first part of
the Plains Festival to be, I mean, I haven't performed every
year because because there were like the first year that opened

(05:20):
the coffee shop, I was like, I need to focus on my energy on
selling coffee. And then there was obviously
last year, I was the ill-fated year that I was running a fever
all day and didn't know it and then went home and and crashed.
I thought I was dying. It was you.
Know what I'm happy about though?
That we chose to perform at the parade after party instead of
the pride after. Party that was really smart.

(05:40):
Now, I will say that was really smart in the sense that we knew
that we would be tired and wouldnot be able to actually, like,
get in real drag and perform Saturday after the festival.
Yeah, I didn't even do my like, regular, like DJ, like glitter,
like eye makeup. I literally just like, smudged.
I hit the microphone. I literally just like smudged

(06:03):
eyeliner on my eye, throw on some mascara and then put some
stars on my face. I put some no some highlighter
and a little bit of glitter on my lid.
Put some lips. On it, no.
I didn't even do lipstick. I think I put it on some BB
cream just to even my Nope. No, I feel naked without some
lips. I got to have my lips.
I look like delta work. And normally when I DJ Autodrug,

(06:25):
I still put on like a little like little baby lashes because
I I wanted to. Just I don't have any lashes.
Either, that's the thing, yeah. I have a little a little wispy.
Yeah, just a little. Some, some, some.
Some make me feel dainty. Nope.
No, it was a fucking fabulous week.
Yeah. Was I tired Sunday?
Absolutely. Yeah, it was worth it.

(06:48):
It was very I was, I was nice. This was a good, I don't know, I
just felt I felt the most prepared for this pride week
versus other pride. Weeks.
My favorite thing ever was that everybody on the stage knew
Skittles was getting an award. Except Skittles.
That was dark sided. Like earlier in the afternoon,

(07:09):
Chris was like, when the awards come around, I need to make sure
Skittles is on the stage evil. And I was like I got.
You I also, I see where this is going.
Evil. So evil.
So congratulations Skittles for winning the the Edie.
Windsor Award because apparentlyI'm old enough to achieve
lifetime achievement awards. I don't think it's a lifetime

(07:32):
achievement. Award.
They don't call it that, but they only give it to people to
do really big shit. I mean, you do really.
This is the imposter syndrome talking.
I'm really saying some. Of the other, some of the other
winners have done important things.
You do important things. Don't worry, I'm beating her up
in the studio. Unplug these microphones.

(07:53):
No, it was an honor. That's all the Scorpio.
It was an honor. I was not expecting it, truly.
I in fact, was cracking jokes while they were doing the other
awards. I, they were talking about the,
they were talking about the, thebusiness because they give one
out to a business every year andthey, they were like, this

(08:14):
person always picks up the phoneand answers every e-mail.
And I was like, well, it's not me.
I, yeah, I famously don't answermy business emails quickly,
sometimes not at all. It happens honestly.
Well listen, sometimes the no answer is an answer.
I think more people. Need to realize that you've

(08:35):
answered, yeah? But no back.
We should circle back Pride. Pride was great.
I enjoyed the I enjoyed the festival very much.
I enjoyed hosting. I did do too much performing on
the mainstage. I did a costume change and I it
was everything though. It was very fun.
I had a great time. And then she went and took 4

(08:59):
ibuprofens. I oh, I literally I, I
remembered walking back and I looked to you dead in the eyes
and I was like, I have to get out of this costume, I'll be
back as soon as possible. And I got in that golf cart and
I said, please take me. She did not stop.
Please take me. And while she.
Walked and talked to that whole thing.
She did not stop moving. She said I will be back.
Thank you all so much. I'm a great night.

(09:19):
Get me the fuck out of here. Yeah, while he was driving.
We were on stage, Skittles is not even performed yet.
And I was like, I'm just walkingaround doing a number.
I'm not even and Skittles goes Imay be doing too much and I'm
like. You didn't do any costume change
and you talked about not puttingon your crown.
What you mean I wore 4? Different performers, but you

(09:42):
didn't change for a performance movement though.
Yeah, that's next year. I'm going to be wearing a
performance movement. That's.
I might. I might put on a belt.
Half of these fucking Divas are going to be walking around in a
moo moo at the pride fest. You're welcome.
Icon trend alert. Trend setter.
No, as I'm being driven back to the clubhouse, I am thrilling

(10:03):
off the gloves. I am like unhooking belts.
Like I get into the dressing room and I'm like biscuit, come
get this bra off me 'cause it's choking me.
It's too tight. It was it's always been too
tight. I should have measure my neck
and sent those measurements in when I had that costume made.
And now I know anything with a neck piece, I need to be like,

(10:23):
hey, girl, I have a thin neck, but not that thin.
I do, and this is funny because this is the costume is from this
is no shade. It's from drag stop baby.
You know that most of us are men.
I got to if I'm complaining about the neck being too thin,
how are some of these line back?How does Nina W feel?
You know, how is my sister who'son the current season Look like

(10:47):
a look like Shrek after he took that potion.
Ginger minge. Oh no, no, ginger skinny.
Now skinny. Not on the season, she's.
Not I. She's skinnier, but now she's
skinny. Yes.
Yeah. Same with the Mistress.
Lost all the weight. Who was?
It and fucking one of her littlevideos and I was like who is
that? And then it literally said
Ginger Minge at the bottom. I was like, oh.
Yeah, yeah. Tina Barner.

(11:09):
That's what I was talking about.Oh, Speaking of Tina Berner, I
wore that rainbow wig and I walked up to that.
We had the we had the don't die.We had the the parade after
party at Avondale and we had Utoya and Christina Leon.
I woke up to greet Christina. I've never met this woman.

(11:32):
Never. I'm being a professional.
I'm like, hey, I'm Skittles. And she, first of all, she said
hi. I'm Snickers.
That's what she said to me. And then then she like looked
back up and she was like, good morning because she saw my
rainbow wig. Hateful, She said, oh, Tina
Berner. She's.
Going to mean me right then and there, yeah.

(11:54):
Yeah, yeah. This is after the last time I
wore that wig. The children, the, you know, the
young UNS, they called me Rainbow Dash from the My Little
Pony. If the she.
I got called Tina Berner at Pride Fest too, by somebody
else. Dark side.
No, I got in that dressing room and I took the wig off and I
said, biscuit, you better take this, the bra piece, unzip all

(12:15):
this, unhook that, blah, blah, blah.
And then there was a mum where she was like trying to fiddle
with like a bell piece. And I was like, OK, I don't want
to alarm you. If I don't sit down and take
these shoes off right now, I think I will collapse.
So I need you to let go of the belt for a moment so I can take
this these shoes off. Yeah, it was.
I that was so professional though I don't mean to alarm.

(12:37):
You, I was like, hey, I don't sit down.
I want you to take the corset and the belt off.
I need to take these shoes off or I will just fall.
Yeah, yeah, actually my knees and my ankles are amazing.
All right, you have to finish hosting the show.
Skittles is in the floor. And I took all that shit off and
then threw on my one of my otherlittle, my other walk around

(12:59):
costumes and I was like, I've got to go back.
I've got to go. And back, back, back.
Yeah. No, it was a fun little
practice. It was very fun.
And it rained just at the very end.
It was perfect timing, the rain.It really was.
Yeah. What do you think of our
headliners? It rains and, like, people
leave. Yes.
And then it's like. I did see people kind of moving

(13:19):
back a little bit and then we'relike, no, no, no, the rain is
going to go away. We got the headliners are still
going on. You need to stay.
And they were like, oh, OK. It really did pass right on by
us though. It was like.
Maybe 15 minutes to sprinkle content warning for our
headliners. A little late, but I.
Didn't know it was going to be this, but explicit warning.

(13:39):
I guess sorry it was great performances though but it is
this isn't any shape to the rudegirls.
I don't know what kind of information you get and I know
that y'all are so busy. I do love that basically pride
organizations put a gun to localperformers heads and they're
like, if you say the word damn, if you say the idea of the word

(14:01):
damn, we will shoot you on the stage.
You'll never perform again. Yeah, you're like, you need to
be fully covered, no skin at all.
You should wear a mask. But the Rue girls come out ass
and titties. Just Lala Ree was hot.
She just had on like some fishnets.
I was like that's her ass. Beautiful skin gorgeous.

(14:24):
She was so sweet too. Megami was hilarious.
Megami was honestly, that was such a great.
Because Megami showed up with a beard and like goatee facial
hair moment and so Megami's outside trying to snap a picture
with the facial hair on and I was like, oh, giving trade, huh.
She was like, you know, trying to get that that good grinder

(14:45):
pick before I have. To shave my face, yeah.
She goes, I never get to have facial hair so I was just taking
a picture real quick. But she enjoyed it.
She. Was really sweet.
I enjoyed Makami. Yeah, I did.
Also, and this is part of my campaign to like, you know, I
have a list of things like we'rebringing back fishnets.
We're bringing my big hair. I'm tired of these flat human

(15:06):
hair units. Paint fuck your face up baby.
She was capital P painted painted for the IT was a mug
that was dragged if I. It was insane the amount of make
up she had on. And do just that.
Do 2 numbers and then leave. Full mug?
Absolutely. Yeah.
No, no. No, the problem is, is that we

(15:28):
have to get there 30 minutes before the doors even open so
that we can fucking do a sound check.
Speaking of. Real girls that I love.
I went to central Alabama. Pride.
How was central Alabama? Pride.
It was fantastic. I stayed oh I hated the hotel I
stayed in because fucking churchbells went off at 73830 and

(15:49):
10:30. Bitch I'm.
Why the 30s? I don't know.
I didn't know we did things on the half.
Hour it did some bells. It was like and it wasn't like
chiming the hour. This was like a Symphony of
bells, just like a cacophony of.Different bells, just like
ringing. Do you think they announced
their services? Probably.
That's too much, fucking bitches, too much.
I was trying to sleep because we, of course, we're at Saturday

(16:11):
the night before for the parade after party.
We didn't go to the parade. Were you supposed to be in the
parade? Well, you see, what happened was
is I was going to be in the parade if anybody else came with
me to be in the parade, and I ended up being the only one.
Wow. So I was like, Aaron, do you
want to go get dinner instead? So we met and had a little date
night, which was great because we discovered a cute little bar

(16:35):
in downtown Birmingham right by the place that we were eating
in. But we also ran into one of our
older friends who I literally did not recognize until I, like,
looked, you know, because she had transitioned and I was just
like, girl, you look fantastic. And it it'd been like a year and

(16:57):
a half, two years since I've seen her.
So she must have, you know, start Anyway, she looked good.
Girl. I was like, the moans are
moaning, honey. But anyway, look great,
fantastic. We had a few beverages, met some
new friends because the bartenders were just, they were
all fabulous. Yeah, easy to have a

(17:18):
conversation with with good bartenders, you know, bring back
being personable. And it didn't feel like put on,
you know, it felt like they weregenuinely just, we were just
chilling, having a conversation.I'm going to tell you what that
means. That means that that's actually
like a a decent well run business.
And it I mean and. Because as somebody who's
fortunate enough that, like, allof my baristas, actually enjoy

(17:40):
being at work and they like drinking coffee, they like
making coffee, that's what's happening.
Well, and it looked like there were, like four or five
bartenders behind the bar. Yeah.
And then they had, like, booze with servers.
Yeah. And so it was.
It was a very well old. Getting into this sort of
hybrid. Model of the Yeah, like
sessions. Yeah, yeah, I like the table

(18:00):
service. I like the table service or
having dedicated bartenders to do the.
I heard the parade was fantastic.
It they did get rained on, whichwas I, I heard about a reason I
did not go 'cause I did not wantto get rained on.
So was next year. So we just went to dinner and
went to the parade after party, which was fun.
The entertainers were great, Asha was fantastic.

(18:22):
Yeah, India Fair was. Great at Saturn, right?
Yeah, and I saw some of the. India's outfits because she.
Did a little. That little black bodysuit.
I don't remember. I like the the sort of Versace
harnessy orange thing she wore at the festival on Sunday that
was and with the wet hair look. A lot of wet hair.

(18:43):
Look that was hot. Yeah.
No tea, no shade to the organizers of CAP, but with the
schedule mixed up and miscommunication, Darian Lake
ended up being at Pridefest at like 3:00 in the afternoon.
Yeah, in full drag ready to go when she really didn't need to
be there till like 5:30. Well, I said, and it wasn't
really her fault. It wasn't their fault.

(19:04):
It was just a really mixed up incommunication.
Like you said, the information they get sent from their
manager, like, you know how wellthat delayed.
Exactly. So she's there 3:00 in the
afternoon, full high whore drag ready to go, honey.
And you know, Cap doesn't have the house with the air
conditioner like right on the plains does.

(19:24):
So bless her heart, she's sitting back there under a tent.
She is taking her wig off. Yeah, she's taking her outfit
off. She's sitting there in front of
that fan. Just having it.
Most professional person I've ever seen in my life.
Oh, the wings are almost here. We always do wings.
I didn't know that there was going to be wings and I'm so

(19:45):
excited now. But she was so funny because you
know that rhinestone jump, that rhinestone, you know that
rainbow jumpsuit that I wore formy presentation for Pride on the
Plains? Yes, she had that same outfit
on. The same one I said, girl, you
should have told me you were wearing that.

(20:05):
We could have been twins. And she goes, joke's on you, I
stole it from your suitcase, butI had to take it in before I
could wear it. Best read I've ever had in my
entire life. That's so good because you know
those football shoulders you got?
Oh. Wow, it was.
Bantering back and forth for a minute.
It was great. And I was like, I'm going to get
some tacos, I'll be back. And so I went to the VIP booth,

(20:27):
got me some tacos and then came back to get ready to perform.
And then there was a rain delay.Love a rain delay?
As it does so, Darian Lake and Iare sitting in under those tents
during the rain delay just talking the shit.
Just like we're old friends thathaven't seen each other in 15
years and just catching up. When is it my turn?

(20:47):
When is it my turn? And of what I really.
Love got to talk to Megami for like an hour.
They talked about video games, all sorts like that, yeah.
Just like and see, I think what I think what she loved is I
didn't bring up a single thing of Drag Race.
They don't want to talk. About.
I didn't talk about when. I talked to when Tatiana did the
back to school bash years ago. I mean, I was like, how is like,

(21:07):
how are you liking like the touring in the I was like, you
know, because that's like a crazy schedule.
So we talked about like her travel, like the tour life kind
of situation. But then we also like just
talked about like just stuff like she asked me about the
coffee shop, Like we talked about like how I ended up doing
that or whatever. She talked about like the local
scene. Also Tatiana did when she when
she got dropped off there she came into our like the the the
poor people dressing room. Not her.

(21:29):
Not her dressing. And she came and individually
she greeted all of us and asked what music we were performing.
It was wild. I had never had an experience
like that with any of it. But yeah, that was great.
We love it when they're personable.
I want to hang out. Well, and my.
And I know some of them want to hang out because sometimes it's
like put in their room if they want their own room or whatever,

(21:50):
but they spend a lot of time. Traveling, Traveling.
They're in a hotel room in a hotel.
Room on a plane, whatever it may, they may have an assistant.
A lot of them don't you know, sothey're falling alone.
So sometimes you just want to and especially if you've been
doing this a while, it's like sometimes you just want to like
be like a local girl, be in the room hanging out.
It also like sucks at a lot of venues, like you don't get ready

(22:12):
at the venue anymore and I know that's like are.
You back getting ready at the venue.
Well, none of the venues. You can't anymore because it's
not a real gay bar. No, nobody has.
They have real. Or 7th or bebops you can get
ready as on 7th and bebops. They have a real dressing.
Room, no offense to AL's, my makeup would not stick on my
face. It's so warm in there.
Maybe if I got there like because it takes me, I will say

(22:33):
I'm getting faster. I did my pride mug and like 45
minutes, maybe an hour, and I did vomit vision.
I did my vomit vision. I was trying to.
There's so many. Fucking yeah.
You. Know it was about four days of
drag in a row we just. Planned drag through October for
us here. Yeah, like the end of October.

(22:53):
Everything. Yeah.
Happy Halloween. We've already planned it.
We've already gotten there. Show up.
Go ahead and mark that on your calendars, bitches.
Anyways, yeah, you can see us every Friday slash Saturday for
the next three months. I think my favorite thing with
Darren, like was she was talkingabout how, girl, you used to
show up to the gig with three orfour cassette tapes in your hand

(23:17):
and give it to the DJ and she goes.
I remember having to make a mixtape with a cassette and like
you would record a little bit ofthe song and then you'd have to
wind it back just a little bit and then start the new song and
let it cross fade just a little bit and keep going.
That's wild. Crazy.
Wild. Absolutely.
Crazy. So having that conversation with
Darian Lake, like sticking up here forever, Fantastic.

(23:40):
I loved it. Just talking about.
So everybody's got an illegal copy of fucking Audacity.
And she goes, she goes, the you go to do your number and the
wrong song would play and you just yell from the back.
Flip the tape. Yeah, wild.
I said. And now you emailed your music
to the DJ today. No, there's no Usbs, no.
And that. I mean you can you They could

(24:01):
have taken AUSB. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah. You don't really.
We don't do that at our shows. You e-mail it.
Well my deck can't have Ausb because that's a mini deck.
Now when I get my big deck again.
Big deck B&H photo if you want to.
Sponsor this. Also, it's not on my safe for
later. It's on my wish list.
If you want to dig in those wishlists.
I do have my next deck picked out.
So after you're done cash havingme $2000 for the coffee shop to

(24:25):
get lights and speaker. Oh, just speaker.
Sorry, I didn't put lights in the car.
So I do need that 3000 kilometer.
I need another $1000 for my deck.
So just send 5000 honestly. Because if you send 5000 I can
get the fog machine I want. Oh, see, that's perfect.
And maybe like a disco ball. Yeah, I want a disco ball.
So fucking. I have a disco ball and a cart

(24:45):
ready. To well I need the and it's
actually not that it's not that expensive.
Like you can get a a kit for like. 200 bucks for it too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like 200bucks because I want, yeah, I
want. I don't want.
I think this one's like 450. I don't want a little.
Like the motor? How big is the ball though?
I think it was like it was giant.
I need like. Because I measured it. 16 plus

(25:07):
inches I don't want No 8 inch disco ball in the no baby.
I want a. 16 inch, I think it was like 60 inches.
Baby, we do have 14 foot ceilings.
That's why, that's why it's. You know what?
I think it was like, I think it was like 4040 to 60 inches.
It's the the disco balls are what makes it because it's all
glass. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And somebody has to like, put the fucking I, I don't know.

(25:28):
Just make one ourselves, girl. Actually, it'd be kind of fun if
would that not be kind like a coffee cup shape?
Shut that. So if you know how to make disco
balls. We could do this that.
'D be kind of kind, the lights aren't expensive and you can get
the motor without the ball. Because all you really need we
could create. Just needs a big who knows how

(25:49):
to shave down some foam. Me theater kids, come on.
Yeah, A. Lot more sets or foam and
cardboard than you think. Those walls are not load
bearing. Do not lean.
Don't breathe too hard. Don't even touch it.
Yeah. Cardboard people go through it
cardboard in like a one by two, not a one by four, one by two.
Maybe a skinny We got to move iton and.

(26:09):
Off the KB heavy yeah oh, that'sthe thing it's on wheels and
some of those wheels might not be locking the.
Casters, yes. Heavy.
Yeah. Oh my.
God. Also here's some Here's some tea
things that say they have locking wheels.
If you lean against it hard enough, it'll still fucking
move, bitch. Or the whole damn thing will
break off completely, which happened during.
Fall over that. That couch had two casters on

(26:31):
it, one on each side. By the end of the show it only
had one caster on the back. The front 1 broke off Love it.
Welcome to live. That's that's showbiz.
Any other pride recaps? I'm trying to loves must haves.
I don't think so. I mean I we've already not loved
hosting. The parade was cute.
It was short, but it was cute. I did enjoy this.

(26:53):
Our fresh faces on Thursday for Pride.
Week that was, that was. Really great, so many people
showed up as so fun trying to think both after parties were
great. I was so tired at both after
parties but it was like such a good turn out.
Honestly, I was scared that people weren't going to come to
the festival after party on Saturday.
Baby, they showed up. It was honestly like just as

(27:15):
lit, if not more lit than Friday.
It was more lit than Friday, I believe I.
Believe it was great. My favorite thing was Saturday
or no Sunday at the pool when Connor cooked those fucking pork
chops that were God. Damn, I didn't get a pork chop.
He did bring me a steak. I'm not complaining because he
brought me a steak and I did specifically.
I was sitting on the patio with a drink and I was like you know

(27:37):
I can't wait for my husband to show up with a plate of meat for
me to eat. And like 5 minutes later he came
out the door with two plates in his hand.
Sure enough I had a burger and he put cheese on the burger for
me and he brought me a steak. Delicious.
No sides, no just meat. That's what I wanted, just meat
those. Pork chops were cooked to
perfection and seasoned to perfection, Yeah.

(27:59):
I I literally was like just. Get some.
Get some pork chops if you want to get these, there's some
cheese steaks or whatever. I was like, get these, whatever.
I was like, they got seasonings over there.
We got a whole 3 tiered spice cabinet.
Honey, come on over. I was like, they'll have
something you like, just go, yeah.
Dig in the I said. My spice cabinet or spice?
Cabinet and I said we don't haveto make a side because you're
bringing the meat, right? If they don't bring a side,

(28:20):
that's what's potluck means, bring something, right?
So. I think there was some science,
so it's fine. And it was.
There were lots of bags of chipsat least.
I did eat some of those. Chips and dips.
I love it when Buttons brings the dip.
Yeah, it's so simple. Just the other our other pool
party we did after graduation weekend.

(28:41):
They brought their the Crunch wrap at large.
That was good too. That crunch wrap at large was
good. Love that.
But Pride Weekend. You know what I love though?
I love that we kind of got our Pride Fest done at the beginning
of the month. Yeah.
And now, the end of Pride Month,we can kind of just chill.
It was kind of weird, a little almost anticlimactic in a sense

(29:02):
that there are some. Now, I'm not saying that pride
on the planes should plan a whole month worth of events,
because I am tired. After one week I'm tired.
But I think they do have a bingoat the end of the month, so look
out for that. And maybe we'll have a Misfits
show. Maybe we'll see.
By the time this comes out, thismight be finalized.

(29:24):
Yeah. It won't be finalized by Friday.
Probably not. Maybe.
Stay tuned. Yeah.
And if not, again, we've alreadyplanned three months worth of
shows, so there will be. You got some drag.
Come watch, honey. I live.
I live. Let's let's knockout our social
media part real quick, and then we'll take a break.
What nonsense do you have to show?

(29:45):
Me, it's really just did I not save it or maybe it got deleted.
You know, sometimes people post shit in the What's Happening
Auburn Opelika group and then I'll save it so I can talk about
it on the podcast. And then I can't because
sometimes they delete that shit sometimes.
And I'm like, I was going to talk about you.
Sometimes stuff gets taken down so fast I see the post on my

(30:08):
feet and I clicked it's gone the.
Comments. And it's like, oh, error.
And I was like, no. No, I wanted.
No, I wanted the tea. I wanted the tea.
I was. Like you must have pissed
somebody off for this to be taken down 12 minutes after you
posted it. It's not there.
That's unfortunate and I can't remember what it is.
Oh well. The other social media thing
that I have, which I do have in my notes, which I think is
hilarious, the TikTok trend that's going around, it's like

(30:33):
I'm bored and it's like, tell mesomething blah blah, blah.
It's like fill in the. Blank.
Oh give me your like most unhinged.
Whatever this one was, I'm bored.
What are the baby names that youhate?
And I don't mean you wouldn't choose that for your kid.
I mean you want to throat punch the parents when you hear this
name. All right?

(30:53):
And if you have some, you can think.
But the ones from the comments that I like, that I wrote down,
anything. That's Aiden, Kaden, Jaden.
Yeah, O Kaden. Nothing.
We don't need any of that. The same with if you want like a
girl's name, any like McKinley, that's the literally the next.
One. Literally the next one.
Anything stop adding extra letters?

(31:16):
And why are you spelling it likethat?
What the fuck is wrong? You're.
Just signing up for your kid notto know how to spell their name
for the first several years. Terrible.
It's terrible. Any name with an unnecessary X
in it or IE at the end of it? OK, they did not give examples
but I would have to give examples.
You would like some examples? I would like some.

(31:37):
Examples. You know the IE at the end where
they put the heart over the eye.You know, I saw that face and
then somebody said Riker. Like the prison island.
OK, but here's the T is a lot ofstuff like that is named after
somebody, so. Why is it called?
That who is, that's probably somebody's last name.
Mr. Riker. Riker.

(31:58):
Yeah, that is a choice to name your your kid after.
This is, hey, here's some advicefrom somebody who's never going
to have a kid. You should you should Google
your kids name. That's a smart idea.
You need to think about their first name in connection with
your last name and make sure it's not some sort of weird pun
make. Up the initials.

(32:19):
What do the initials spell out? Think.
Think just a little bit. They are going to be stuck with
it. And I'm going to tell you what
kids are little shits. And if you pick a name that can
in any way be turned into a pun or a shitty nickname, kids are
going to do it. Like Penrod?
Yeah, Why are you naming your kid Penrod?
That's wild. Somebody said Clint.

(32:41):
It's a recipe for disaster. So I feel like there's some
trauma there with somebody namedClint.
Yeah, but the Clint I know is a very sweet man, so.
I don't know any Clint. There's one Clint.
There's a Clint character in Stardew Valley and he is not
liked from the fan base. Well, the Clint I know is a
wonderful human being. Do you have?
This is not baby name related. Do you have any names?

(33:03):
Do you have any names that you just don't trust?
Like names that just feel like Idon't.
I don't have good experiences with anybody with this name.
I can see her in my head. Jessica's OH.
There's some. Something.
About Jessica. Oh shit, see, I'm glad you did
not open the White Claw. Things are flying.
See I. Have a Oh, I'm gonna have to cut

(33:23):
this out. She said I will you
specifically. Jessica, cut this out.
I'll have to cut all this out. Oh, do you have names that can
only be spelled one way? You don't like it when it's
spelled the other way, Like Ashley with two ES.
Why would you do that? Yeah, why would you do that?
Even worse is Ashley spelled like a Hang on.

(33:46):
I don't like it so much that my brain is like, like ASHIGH.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why?
This is really. My sister's name is Ashley.
EY. The correct spelling.
The correct way, somebody said. I'm a Ashley defender if you
spell it the correct way. Somebody, said Grayson.

(34:07):
That's Gray area. Grayson is kind of.
That's one of those like kind offuck boy names like Chad.
Grayson. I can see Grayson is a fuck boy
name. Yes, somebody said anything with
Oak Oakley. We'll name your kids Oakland.
Yes, I've heard. Like, well, Oakland is a place,
right? Oakland is a place I'm sure
people name. Their kids after places
Mercedes. Have you seen the people being

(34:27):
like why are you naming your kidMercedes when they can't even
afford a Corolla? Like don't name your kids Paris
if they're. The last one, and I put it on
here just to see if she listens to the podcast, but she probably
does it. The comment says, and I'm
putting quotations, The answer is always Nevaeh, you're

(34:55):
inciting. Violence inciting violence.
Stirring the pot. Stirring the pot.
Yeah, that's those are the only names I had on my list.
I'm trying. To think of other names I just
don't like. I'm glad you probably won't be
able to hear the rain outside, which is a good thing.
No, I think. It stopped.
It got insulated. It was going to stop.

(35:15):
It was set to stop about when westarted recording.
Well, I guess. We can take a little break and
then we'll come back with some hot takes and some work at our
tuckets to close out Episode 16.Was that Thunder or is that a
car starting? Maybe both?
It ran a little long. That sounds like music or a car.

(35:39):
No Thunder. We're good.
Anyways, see you in a moment. Jokes on us, Aaron's watching
Defying Gravity in the living room with 7.1 Dolbys.
Yeah, so many Dolbys, all the Dolbys.
We'll see you in 7.1 Dolbys. Kind of boring design that makes

(36:07):
you want to vomit? Then you need Creative Vomit
Studio, your one stop shop for eye popping design that'll make
your brand shine. Need a killer logo?
A website graphic that slays? Headshots that scream
professional? Creative Vomit has you covered.

(36:28):
And hey seniors, don't forget those all important senior
portraits. Let Ian capture your uniqueness.
Visit Creative Vomit dot Studio to schedule your consultation
and unleash your creative genius.
Creative Vomit studio design that's anything but bland.

(36:51):
Welcome back from our break. Yeah, I ate some wings, ate some
brunch fries. Now we're full, fat and happy.
Some white people talk about their river cruise that.
Was an interesting video Aaron had playing on the living room.
TVI feel like every YouTube video Aaron watches is a choice.
When we go back in there, we're just going to scroll through the

(37:14):
home so you can see. I yeah, it I I mean.
The curated content YouTube wants to play for him, what is
his name is like Giannis or Ennis?
Oh, yeah, yeah. The guy that does the like the
mansion tours. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's always up there, honey. I haven't watched him in a
while. I don't know, it makes me upset
looking at Holmes. Got like that I'll never be able

(37:37):
to. Pop out, pop outdoors that look
like walls. And whole 10 car.
Garages. Everything's underground.
The. Corner of the house just tucks
back into the house and it just opens up.
I'm like, how much did that costyou?
Just that feature. 'Cause I get upset just looking
at houses on Zillow in my town, 'cause they're all.
They're not worth that much. First of.

(37:58):
All. No they're not, but like the
fact that y'all are out here trying to sell a three bedroom
house built in the 70s for $500,000.
Well, because the new builds are1.2 million and they all and
they're on 1/4, not even a quarter acre of a lot like the
lot is just big enough for the house in the driveway.
If you want to call it a driveway, you mean the 10 feet

(38:20):
of concrete, Right? Right, right.
And their garage. Those What's that road by your
coffee shop? Oh, the doll houses.
The doll houses on the ones thatare like, well, they're
building. Those test houses that are
built. On the fucking Rd.
I think they're trying to be like, like French Quarter style,
that stuff. They have those little

(38:40):
balconies, that stuff. I haven't seen the.
You can jump out of the balcony and hang on to the fucking power
lines that are right there. You don't have to.
Cut that because some kid will do that.
We cannot be held liable for thestupid shit that you're college
kid does. Off a balcony and hang on to a
power line. You will die.
Thank you, I didn't know how to tell you that.

(39:03):
Don't know if they're teaching that in schools anymore so.
They're not teaching a lot anyway.
Oh, God bless you. Well, we talked about Pridefest,
we talked about social media. So I guess now we're going to do
some hot takes. Oh, what's our what inspired our
hot takes this week? Well, this is just something
that I complain about all the time.

(39:24):
But we complain about this all the time.
But. Specifically, I noticed, and I
know you noticed because I saw you in the comments on.
Some I was in the comments girl.There were some people
complaining about some of the headliners at Pride festivals,
specifically central Alabama heard people were complaining
about Deja Sky and about that she wasn't wearing padding.

(39:47):
She didn't have body on. Yeah, she wasn't giving.
So we're going to do some hot takes on stale views and
opinions about Dre, Some of those 2025 y'all and.
And y'all are still living in 1985 with some of these drag
standards. Honestly, I'm going to need you
to bring it bring it up to the 21st century.

(40:08):
Yeah, I mean, drag can still be glamorous.
Drag can still have rhinestones.We can still do gowns, suits,
tuxes. None of that stuff went.
Away, but it's not like we're taking away from that.
To add to also the evolution of drag where especially here in

(40:29):
Auburn, Skittles has created very much so a punk scene.
I would say alternative styles of drag are very much accepted
here. They're not accepted everywhere.
And it's getting a little bit better, but it is not getting
like Dragula, which by the way, is.
And it's like eighth season. So like, this isn't new.
Right, right. This is not Yeah.

(40:50):
Also y'all really just don't payattention because like divine
honey Ru Paul was doing gender fuck drag before they came up
with Ru Paul the Glamazon. The most profitable version of
Ru Paul is the current iteration, the Glamazon.
But like. The ones before were really punk
and really grunge, honey. Ru Paul used to just be
harassing people on the streets.Those videos on YouTube are my

(41:13):
favorite ever. I think one of my biggest pet
peeves when it comes to these gatekeepings of drag is the idea
that you have to wear nails everywhere.
You have to have like, padding everywhere.
You have to do XY and Z. Why?

(41:36):
Yeah, says who? I still look like a woman
without nails on. Yeah, does every woman wear
nails? Period, that part.
Bodies come in all. Shapes.
That's kind of why I like when Bitch Pudding was like, I'm not,
I'm not bitch pudding. Why did her name just leave my
brain? I can't help you.

(42:00):
I don't know. She's.
In Texas right now, Eva Destruction, when Eva
destruction was like, I'm not shaving anymore, Fuck it, some
women are hairy, Yeah, fuck it. You know, it's just those
outdated and it really, it really shows the misogyny that's
within drag a little bit. Well, because a lot of people

(42:21):
still think drag is exclusively female, female impersonation.
Yes, yeah, yes. But drag has drag has moved
beyond that years ago. And even when we were going back
to the illusion days, like it was still, they were still other
kinds of drag, right. There's always been like drag
has always been like a sort of like that part.

(42:43):
So there's always been like weird, different, you know, drag
and like burlesque and like, just like the like cabaret shows
like. And just the idea that in and of
itself you know that kings aren't real drag when they
provide just as much if not moreto entertainment then I see some

(43:05):
Queens bring to the. Table.
Oh yeah, like. Anyway, I won't I won't do that.
That's a whole. That's a whole nother podcast,
but you know, just people, a lotof times they really do forget
about kings. And they do one thing that
really pisses me off is that when people won't book some of
our entertainers because they'reAFAB drag, Yeah, like who cares

(43:28):
if they're an AFAB drag queen? They're still out there doing 10
times better than you are, so. It is unfortunately still pretty
bad here in Alabama that if you are not doing like female
illusion drag, it is much harderfor you to get booked if you are
doing non binary drag, if you'redoing character drag, if you're
doing king drag, if you're doingcreature drag.

(43:50):
I think the thing that just makes me mad is they see like
Tokyo or Buttons just absolutelykilling it.
And then one of the first questions out of their mouth is
that a real girl? Yeah.
What does it matter? Why do you care?
First of all, that's a clown. Pay attention.
Like a whole. Point, yeah.
And then I guess in the same vein, we were talking about this

(44:11):
in the group chat the other day,although straight boys at
Avondale's is like, do you have a penis?
Yeah. Where's your Oh yeah.
Girl, do you? Want me to what do you want me
to? Have I know you want me to have
a penis? That's why you're asking so
stupid. I'm going to need about $500
before you can see it. Thank you.
Well, it's also, it's really funny because like, Tokyo and
Buttons are wearing the same amount of makeup I'm wearing.

(44:32):
Yes, honey, you know what I mean?
Tokyo's wearing more make makeupthan I'm wearing.
I could admit it. But this is wearing sometimes
the most makeup that the white is not easy Y'all that's harsh
on the scan. Yeah, it's a lot.
It is a lot. It is a lot.
Let me ask you your thoughts on quote UN quote paying your dues

(44:56):
at the club first. How do you feel about that
terminology? As in like you got to show up in
dragon, just watch the show overand over and like like you don't
even get to because I there usedto be like it used to be like
you literally did just have to like show up in full.
Like I was going to say full Geech.
Honestly, we should stop saying that, but.

(45:18):
Full glam. Yeah, but like, you're fully
done up in Dragon and there's nothing wrong with going to a
show in full drag and you shouldgo.
I think some people need to start doing that again because
some people are a little back. They're a little too comfortable
being like, oh, well, I only getin drag when there's money
involved. And it's like, well, baby, this
is an art form now. Listen, I am a business.

(45:38):
I do have to make money, but I can still enjoy the art of drag,
period. And I can still get dressed up
to go to a show. Period.
And when I travel to go see shows in Atlanta or Birmingham,
I usually go and drag. I always go and drag, yeah.
First of all, well, not only marketing but like rule #1 is of
drag as a get attention. And so absolutely well, and then

(46:00):
also. Because if you ever gone to
something out of drag and then you're like, you get this like
weird, fucked up, foamy, you're like, wow, people would like me
more if I had just gotten in drag.
Some of my favorite things is I'll go to stuff in Birmingham
out of drag and nobody knows whoI am and it is fantastic.
There are people that they talk to me that shows that I'm a

(46:23):
producer of, but I am not in drag at that event.
There are the 1st and 2nd fresh faces.
I I worked at the bar, I didn't,I didn't host the show and there
were people that treated me weirdly at the first fresh
Faces. Because they didn't know you
were scared. And I just thought that was very
funny because it's like, let's. Unpack that.

(46:43):
No, never mind. Yeah.
Well, I just do. That in another episode.
Yeah, I thought it was really funny that people were like,
treating me kind of weird. Like 1, You shouldn't treat
anybody weird. And even if you don't know who I
am, like, I'm still like a person who in your eyes works at
the venue. And you should always be nice to
the venue staff. First of all.
That's how you get, that's how you get treated.
Great is if you treat them great, they'll treat you great.

(47:05):
Then you can like cut in line, they'll make sure you're OK,
they'll get you drinks, whatever, blah blah blah.
Salute, you know. Always, always treat the staff
of venue well. The But there were people that
that were weird to me and I was like baby girl like.
This is. My bar, yeah, and my show.
Like I am one of the Co organizers of this show.

(47:26):
Do you want to come back? The old, just the old school
mentality of me thinking about you need to pay your dues in the
club first, like showing up and doing those open stage events
so. Well, and now people, they want
you to pay your dues. But also like nobody wants to
host real open stages anymore. That part.
How are you supposed to cut yourteeth if you don't give them a

(47:48):
stage? That's where I was going get out
of my head. But I have always been a big
proponent of open stages as somebody who got their start.
That's how I doing. Open stages and and those little
like lip sync competitions and even when we did like the royal
drag race, right? I mean, we have passed the crown
coming up on the 21st. I did I did pass the crown the

(48:11):
last time we did a pre pandemic and I did not win the end of the
I won. I don't remember who won
passing. Oh, we do this every that
cosplay. Drag person every time there was
somebody who. Did cosplay drag?
They won, and then they like, moved to Massachusetts.
Good for them. Yeah, I love that.
Yeah. But the reason I was, like,
talking about paying your dues, I feel like paying your dues

(48:32):
could be done a different way nowadays.
Yeah. Because, like, I see all the
time performers like Polly. And what's that Burger King
girl's name? I'm sorry, darling.
I can't ever remember your Burger King.
The one that filmed that TikTok in Burger King.
It was a Wendy's. I keep.

(48:53):
It was so. Wendy's.
I do that every time I say it's a Burger King.
It's not even a Burger King. It was.
A Wendy. It was fusion.
But Fusion, I'm thinking about entertainers like that, who they
have it, you can see that they have it.
So like and what I don't really need them to pay their dues.
I can book them. Now that's what it is is the
directors also don't pluck talent anymore They book their

(49:15):
friends oh preached it and now listen, all of the misfits are
my friends, but also when we. Rotate through people.
Yes, and also when you sat down and decided that you wanted to
start your own like drag shows in Auburn after the pandemic was
trying to, you know, after we were allowed to leave our
bedrooms again, when you came upwith the idea for the Misfits,

(49:37):
your goal was to create like you're I'm going to take these
people that I think are good andI'm going to, you know, I think
of everybody that was in the original Misfits cast only like
you and Dakota had come out of another permanent cast position.
Everyone else was people that had been doing open stages or

(49:58):
like I had been, I was hosting the quote UN quote king show
that turned into the early show because there were no kings,
right, right, right. And I'd only been doing that for
a couple months. I just feel like paying your
dues looks different nowadays. Yeah, you know.
I think it's more about being just like an active participant
and less about like, oh, you need to do so many bubble or
like the people that only book people if they have like some

(50:19):
sort of like title. And don't be afraid to
especially well, the the entertainers around here aren't
afraid and I love it. Don't be afraid to ask the
hotspot at a show. Absolutely.
Like we'll fill you in at the end.
Don't ask. Maybe the day of or night of.
Give us a couple days. Somebody else has probably
already asked, but like. If you see a show come out and

(50:40):
you're like, Oh my God, I would love to perform in that show,
Just send us a message and be like, can a hotspot for this,
for this show? Answer's probably going to be
yes unless somebody beat you to it.
I also hate that it's funny thatit used to be like, oh, you need
to have like titles or you need to have like like a good popular
like family name or whatever. And now it's all social media

(51:04):
and I've never had either. So it's just like, well, what am
I like, what am I supposed to do?
You know what I mean? Like I, and I'm not saying I
should be in more shows or that I, you know, am for every show,
but like I famously don't reallywork outside of Auburn and that
is now because I own a business,I'm I'm a little too busy to
regularly travel, But when I could travel, I certainly was

(51:27):
not being asked to do shows because I.
Didn't I mean like, as much fun as it is to travel, we just do
so much here, like. That is The thing is that I am.
There's drag every weekend here somewhere at Avondale's, at
Coffee Mafia. Who knows?
It's just so much going on. I'm certainly busy, Certainly

(51:50):
busy. I just think paying your dues
looks a little different and I hope other show directors are
seeing that. Absolutely.
And not trying to go back to theold days of Oh well, I haven't
seen you out at the bar ever. Who do?
Who are you? You know, why should I book you?
When I saw that bitch in that Wendy's doing that video I
pissed myself laughing. It was so God damn.

(52:13):
It's good you're doing somethingdifferent.
You're doing something unique. That's what people like.
People like authentic, they likeuniqueness.
That's why that vomit vision show, that was one of the best
drag shows I've ever been to in my God damn life.
I love every people are responding to.
Every single number was a concept, and it was well thought

(52:34):
out and it was different, like entertaining.
And it was entertaining. Like I wasn't bored when I was
watching any of it. Yeah, and fucking buttons making
out with that cardboard cut out.So goddamn stupid.
So goddamn. Stupid.

(52:56):
I don't always listen to their music beforehand or know what
the concepts are either. So it's often I'm getting to
see, I'm seeing the tomfoolery. Oh, and I I mean, I told them
because somebody asked in the chat like the week of they're
like, what's everyone doing? And I was like, well, I'm doing
my Taco Bell burlesque number because I was asked to bring it
back. So they already knew that was
happening. Now the audience hasn't seen
that version because I haven't done that version since the

(53:18):
Nick. Because we updated.
Yeah, it's different. It's got.
We worked. Shocked.
Yeah, and it's the next version is going to be even Dumber.
I need you to bring a Nacho by Grande into the mix.
Oh, it's what? A number?
But I did that other number where I drank out of several
perfume bottles and I was like, Oh yeah, and I'm going to drink
some perfume. And Mary, I was like, you're

(53:40):
going to do what? And I was like, it's water.
I'm not drinking perfume but like that's the bit but.
Could you imagine if it was tequila?
I thought about it and then. I know I was like but then.
You did it three times. That would have been like shots
back to. I also knew they're really smart
in small bottles too, but like I, I knew I was going to be
spraying it on me and potentially other people and

(54:01):
some materials are damaging because I, I was like, oh, maybe
I could do like a juice or whatever.
I was like, well, I don't want that.
I don't want something like sticky or acidic like on my.
Water was the go to. Yeah, I was like water is safe.
So yeah, it was weird. Anyways, I do have I read some
sort of things down. Let me try and collect my.
Thoughts. Mindset.
I said that if your drag can't sweat, cry, or eat tacos in it,

(54:30):
then I really why are you doing drag?
I do think this has nothing to do with this is off topic.
I do think just some advice for some of these people.
I know there are so many kinds of beauty products out there and
I know that what you're trying to, even if you're trying to be

(54:50):
like I'm doing woman drag. You can do woman drag in the
sense that like if that's the way you want to paint, sure.
I'm going to tell you what though, you should probably
still use the pro grade product.Oh, absolutely.
And you should be. Cover girl, don't cover boy you.
Need to be using way more products, you need to be.

(55:12):
Using way more powder you need to be.
Using sting spray, that's the because you think you're giving.
Woman and you're giving woman when you get there and then by
the time it's your turn to go on, you've already melted off
your makeup because you are wearing BB cream instead of you
stopped talking about it right now.

(55:33):
Oh my God. But I listen and I know my
makeup is a little like, yeah, Idon't think my makeup is crazy
crazy, but I know that what I'm doing is not what a lot of
people want to be doing. But I need you to know that I
wore my makeup outside at KieselPark in the heat and humidity

(55:54):
for seven hours. And I, I didn't take it off
until like 7:30 or 8:00 at the coffee shop.
And baby, I could have done a photo shoot like nothing had
moved because I was wearing 10 lbs of makeup and setting spray
and setting powder. You got to know the venue that
you're performing at if you are outside in the heat cake.

(56:16):
That shit. And if you look at the photos, I
don't look like I'm wearing too much makeup.
I just am wearing product I knowis going to stay on my skin.
If you look at my cat photos it looks like I have no makeup on
but I have on the thickest Juviaplace foundation and multiple
layers of powder, multiple layers of setting spray and

(56:40):
Hairspray as setting spray. Do not.
That mug did not move. You don't need to be watching
the real girl beauty influencers.
Watch a drag queen do their makeup.
Damn it. They can teach you how to do the
you don't. Have to do the Tracy face.
But if you watch Trixie or Jinx or somebody who does this for a
living, who is in drag sometimes10 hours a day, that's how you

(57:01):
need to be put on your makeup girl, you know, stay, stay.
And that ELF, That Power Grip primer.
Oh that put poreless putty primer.
I'm out. I need to get some before past
the crown. I used that before I did my cat
face. I swear it like suction cup the
makeup to my face like it just. Stayed there yeah primer is not
a scam if you do it right also Iwill say like if you are trying

(57:25):
to be on the cheap you can use setting spray as a priming
layer. Oh yeah you just need to put
something on your skin, but especially if you have textured
skin, something like the portless putty primer is really
going to you have to set up thatcanvas back to steel drag back
to steel drag entertaining yes Ialso want to talk about
especially in relation to like the whole deja sky thing on

(57:46):
TikTok. I think some of y'all, and it's
usually this is another one of my bullet points, the people
that want to do all of this talking are people that have
never done drag a day in their life.
They go to the same club. No, they don't even go to the
club, they just watch RuPaul's Drag Race on TV.
And they only show and they only.
Show up to the festivals when the Rue girls are booked.

(58:06):
They don't go out and support their local drag, but they have
everything in their keyboard and.
You want to be judging the Rue girls while you're wearing your
Sheen course corset in quotes because I know it's not a real
corset in plastic bone because Iwore a real steel bone corset at
Pridefest. Thank you.

(58:27):
Yeah, that was a mistake, but I did it.
I only wore it for my number. I'd like that to be known.
That's why she ran off and went to the dressing room.
The course isn't that bad. It really needs to be those
keyboard warriors. No, it is the the people that
they've never done drag. They don't go to local drag
shows. They really only care about the
Rue girls. I think.
Y'all forget that drag on television looks different than

(58:48):
dragon person? And like, the drag on television
nowadays is so overly produced and All Stars production is
making half of that shit they'renot making that they didn't
bring that production said here,this is what you're wearing for
this scene. And even if they did bring it,
they didn't make. It No, they had somebody else

(59:09):
make it. Well, sans Nicole Page Brooks,
but everyone else. No, we know you made that.
Well, I am. Listen, there are some key girls
like Trinity, like Trinity, she can make a fucking garment.
There are some just blessed people that are really good
garment makers. But a lot of these, especially
on All Stars, but even the regular seasons, now they're

(59:30):
coming in with, you know, ten $20,000 worth of costumes and
hair made for the show, made forgoing on drag racing, not.
Realistic for local drag? No, not realistic at all.
Your local drag entertainer has 3 or 4 wigs?
Skittles looked at me sideways. I have 12.

(59:52):
I think I have more than 12, butalso remember I've been doing
this for eight years on stage, 10 years if you include social.
Media and if you look at some ofthese newer entertainers that
are just starting, they don't have a closet full of drag like
RuPaul's Drag Race entertainers do.
We've I really don't have a closet full of drag anymore
because I got rid of it. But I was like, I'm going to get
rid of this. It's going to force me to buy
new stuff That didn't happen. I have a whole because I am

(01:00:18):
redoing my whole drag room That was my I used my pride money to
like buy a dresser and two massive shoe racks and a new
makeup vanity. And I am organization
liquidating some things, not liquidating furniture and
costumes. I've got some shoes, but it's
the. People who are fans of Drag Race
and not fans of drag, That really pissed me off.

(01:00:40):
Yeah, because even, I don't know, it's just, I don't think
y'all realize that they get to bring like tubs of costumes to
be on that show, that part and you know.
And when Deja skies flying into central Alabama, pride to do.

(01:01:00):
She has a carry on in 2 numbers,maybe 2 suitcases.
Her suitcase wasn't that big. I saw it.
Trust me, honey, I was back there.
They don't They? Yeah, they don't have much that
they can bring. You to look at some of those
runways and then be like how youwould that fit that whole
costume with that fit in a suitcase, a single regular suit.
It won't, it won't. Some of those things don't fold

(01:01:22):
up, and if it does that, only that costume.
And they have to in that, in that suitcase has to be all
their costumes, all their hair, all their jewelry, all their
shoes. And.
Everything has to fit in that one suitcase.
It's not like they're local girls where they can get ready
at the house and maybe bring a abag full of a change of clothes
that they need. You know, they don't have that

(01:01:44):
luxury. They were in a.
It's got. To be 4 by 4 bags space getting
dressed. So I mean I just hate a keyboard
warrior. Like, get your ass up there and
let me see you do it. But at the end, while they were
like, she's not really giving that much.
It had just rained. The stage was wet.

(01:02:05):
Yeah. And it's Alabama, 4:30 in the
afternoon, 5:30 in the afternoon.
It's hot as hell. And I will tell you because I
performed on the same stage thatshe did.
That stage was rickety. It was.
I did not feel sturdy on that stage at all.
And as soon as I could walk downthose stairs and get off of that
stage, I did. And I felt more sturdy on our

(01:02:29):
stage at our Pride Fest than whatever it is that they had set
up at CAB. I don't know what that was, but
I was like real nervous. Girl, some of those stages are.
And then you I've. Been on some weird stages.
You're on that stage plus heels.Your balance is already fucked
and it's wet. Fuck off, fuck off.

(01:02:53):
It's wild. I just, it's wild.
Yeah. If you're going to have these
outdated, stale views on drag, keep your ass to the house and
watch Drag Race. Also.
It's you're going to see more entertaining drag at your local
drag show. Oh, 'cause there's so many kinds
of Dragons, so many kinds of performances that just if they

(01:03:15):
don't work on TV. Well, and like I can't some of
the storytelling. Eat a burrito like you could.
But some of the storytelling aspects of like the
performances, like Marijuana's performance, yeah, like I feel
like fruit bat Marijuana's performance that doesn't portray
on TV, You couldn't get that on TV.

(01:03:36):
You can only get that in real life.
Yeah, you know it just. It's better.
It's also really funny that it'salways like oh girl, give us
nothing. And it's like not every song or
performance. Hello.
I'm so tired of the fact that y'all think all drag needs to be
dips. That was one of my notes splits.
I'm over it. I was like bring.

(01:03:56):
Back a ballad and just stand there.
Not just because I can't do those things, it's that I have
felt overlooked, like my performances don't even matter
because I'm incapable of flinging myself across the stage
in comparison to other people who are you're.
Yeah, sure, she can do a cartwheel.
And that doesn't make it entertaining though, did you?
See the fact that she doesn't know the words and that's why

(01:04:18):
she's doing the cartwheel 'causeI know my song, I know the story
behind my song, I have a conceptfor the performance.
I know that little piano interlude by heart in the middle
of it, and I'm like, I'm playingit on stage.
Bring back Telling a story into drag is storytelling.
Well, music is storytelling for some of us.

(01:04:40):
See, that's the problem though. Some of this new music isn't
really storytelling. It's just a cute little song to
bop around in. And while we're at it, musicians
bring back bridges anyways. Bring back a fucking bridge.
No, but everybody, like I said at that vomit vision show, that
was just. It was really refreshing.
Yeah, because I didn't have to do anything.

(01:05:03):
I was just sitting in the audience watching.
That's another. We were talking earlier about
people having to like pay dues or whatever.
You know who doesn't go to shows?
And now I will say as a show director, I'm busy.
Show directors need to also go to shows.
They are not their shows, period.
Go watch other drag period because it'll remind you why you
started doing drag. When?

(01:05:24):
I love taking a field trip to Atlanta or Birmingham and going
to watch a scene. I don't know these people.
I might know some of them. I might be friends with someone.
But usually those shows, I'm notclose, close with anybody.
They're not like my sisters. They're not like my cast members
that I'm working with. So I'm really getting to just
like all the time, watch the show and engage.
It's really nice. And it's nice to check out and

(01:05:45):
not have to think about the production side of it.
You can just sit and enjoy. Watching the show I'm trying to
figure out what I can steal though.
You know, now I have to be stealing something.
OK, I really do. So just be entertaining.
That's all I care about. And make sure your wig stays on.
I'm sorry, that is a pet peeve of mine.

(01:06:08):
That's and I don't mean I know that's one of those like old.
School, and I don't mean to be mean about that, but like,
attach a wig. Yeah.
And if you don't know how, learn.
Watch a YouTube video, watch a TikTok.
Ask me, I tell everyone who asksI.
Freaking saw Lana's array. The hair.
Glue I use. Fall into a split the other day,

(01:06:29):
do a hair flip and a wig. Yeah.
Off her head. Unacceptable.
Unacceptable. And it's always the performers
that want to be doing the stunts.
Why are you flipping your hair? You're going to be doing clips
on your head. You got to at least use the
clips, that's why. And the wig comes with clips.
And if you're buying a wig without.

(01:06:50):
Clips, I was just about to say. Buy a better wig.
Do not buy a wig Party City ass wig.
What if you have a wig? If you're getting a wig and it
does not have clips in it and you are paying more than $100
for that wig, you are getting robbed.
Yeah, do not be buying a wig. They.
My $30 Amazon wigs have. Got clips in them those those.
Freaking those are lace fronts. Those freaking $20 TikTok wigs I

(01:07:12):
got got clips in them. What are you talking about?
Who's selling you a wig without a clip in it?
Or go get your friend Bobby Bobby Pin.
Get the long ones. That's the wrong.
That's what's wrong with some ofthese Queens.
They get these small little Sally Hansen Bobby pins.
Now you got to get those long motherfuckers like the Virginia
Slim cigarettes. And baby, when I tell you I'm

(01:07:39):
using the clips, the Bobby pins and the glue, I don't know, just
secure your damn wig. Secure it.
That's the only old school thingI can get behind is secure your
damn wig well. You wore the wig, so obviously
that's what you want to look like, so you need to have.
The fun you're giving, Yeah. So give it Yeah.
Any other? Oh, I do want to give this

(01:08:03):
advice to entertainers. This was actually my first
bullet point of when we skipped right past this.
As a performer, this can be difficult.
You need to learn how to sort a genuine critique or advice from
bullying and opinions. That's good because it is one

(01:08:24):
thing like we just said, like you should be securing your wig.
That's a critique or advice likewe want you to succeed.
We want you to look great and if.
It's only bullying if I have to do it more.
Than that is is you securing your wig, you should secure your
wig. The difference is if we're just
like, I'll like you just need tostop wearing, wearing blonde
like you're not a blonde. Like that's our opinion.

(01:08:45):
If you feel that you're a blondebaby.
Wear a blonde, who cares? Yeah, it's none of it's real.
It's all we're. All wearing wigs.
It's not girl. Hey, I don't look like this 24.
Seven. Yeah.
Surprise, Yeah. No matter what my grander
profile says. Anyway, anyways, yeah, and as

(01:09:06):
somebody who has always done alternative leaning drag and
I've only gotten Weir and more alternative, I have had to learn
the hard way how to take those critiques and advice and
actually like filter out some ofthose preconceived notions about
drag, but also just people's opinions about me and actually
take that and use it like I whenI this is a weird full circle

(01:09:30):
moment. When I started doing drag, I
didn't pad and I was told that Ineeded to pass and I did have
pads made for me and for a long time.
And I'm not not wearing pads. I do sometimes not wear pads
now. But also that's the tea baby.
I'm doing outdoor events in Junein Alabama.

(01:09:52):
You better be glad I'm wearing anything.
I have to commend every diva that I saw at a Pride fest the
past two weeks who showed up in full mug, full hair, full body.
Yeah, multiple layers of tights on, walked around in heels all
day. Yeah, you have all my kudos
because I am too. Old I can't do that.
I did it the first couple years.Can't do.

(01:10:13):
It anymore I'll dive a heat stroke yeah by 3:00 PM yeah I'll
be there and we. Were warm, just sitting on the
stage and we had fans. We had fans and a cooler with
waters. And liquid I've eaten, yeah.
It was crazy but I wore pads andI did like the whole the full
like pads and corsets every single time.
I was in drag for like 2 years and I had to stop because the

(01:10:35):
corsets were bothering me as I took a break.
I'm back, but I'm experimenting with more, more drag that isn't
like padded, like stereotypical shape.
And the critique, the original critique was like, you should
wear pads. But what I'm doing now is just
trying to make sure that like, Ienjoy the silhouette that I'm

(01:10:55):
giving. That's all that matters.
If I'm not wearing pads, I do need, you know, a belt or a
corset or something to kind of like take that costume and like
give it like shape and motion. That's what really matters.
It depends on the costume you'rewearing.
It depends on how you're performing and what kind of drag
you're trying to deliver. But I don't think it should be
like, I at the time felt like I was like, oh, well, you just

(01:11:18):
have to wear pads because that'slike the rule.
When in reality, it was like youyou need to do something about
your shape because the shape your of your natural body
doesn't fit the costume you're wearing.
Some styles of drag, even if youreally like it, it's not.
Maybe it's not. It's not incompatible.

(01:11:39):
Yeah. Yes, trust trust.
Like I feel like I definitely could not do a buttons drag,
that's not my aesthetic. Some of those costumes are
crazy. It's a lot.
Of big that's just not Kalana, you know, pieces to be
individual, have that authenticity, that
individuality, you know. Listen, if I could give.

(01:12:01):
Don't be copying people. Like Gigi find inspiration Bosco
woman drag I would. I don't have the bone structure
for that and so I do clown drag.If I looked like Bosco.
Well, first of all, if I look like Bosco.
I would never wear clothes. I wouldn't tell me she and as of
this as of this being posted on Friday, this means we only have

(01:12:23):
one more episode before we get to see Bosco in her boobs again.
Hallelujah. I know one more.
Hallelujah. Any other hot takes for our
outdated drags I. Feel like that's it and then one
more time if you don't do drag, shut up your opinion.
Doesn't matter. Like that's the thing.
Like you can have a peer, you are a viewer, be quiet.

(01:12:45):
You can, you can have be quiet. You can have an opinion and not
say anything. You know it's OK.
If you want me to immediately not be friends with you.
Come up and read. Me come up and try and be like,
oh girls, you decided to be comfy today.
That's not yeah, we don't have that friendship.

(01:13:05):
So you can't come up to me and talk to me like that.
No matter what you think in yourbrain, that would.
Be the same as if you like, walked up to Beyoncé and said
like, it's like, maybe. Not that we're Beyoncé, no, but.
In this situation, you paid to see me.
And now you want to walk up hereand tell me?
What to do? Like yeah, pay the door fee, sit
down and watch the show and thenleave.

(01:13:27):
And if you don't like what we'redoing, yeah, you can start your
own drag shows, yeah. Or drive the two hours to go to
another. We'll see what that looks like,
yeah. Good luck finding a venue, baby.
We got both of them. Why do you?
Think you're dealing with my coffee shop?
Yeah, Jesus. I guess let's take a quick break

(01:13:49):
and then come back for some worker.
We'll work it. This one has a summer theme to
it. Yeah.
Does yours not have a summer? No, no minor summer theme.
I just. You said that?
Yeah. Like, yeah, yeah.
That's just how I feel about summer.
It's too hot. Yeah, yes it is.

(01:14:16):

artfully curated cup of coffee? Look no further than Coffee

Coffee Mafia, your locally ownedLGBTQ coffee shop located at 414
S Gay St., Auburn, AL. When we get our cease and desist

(01:15:22):
is. That Toy Story.
It is from Toy Story. It's a little.
Alien. That was probably enough to be
free and fair use though. Yeah, I guess just.
A short clip. Yeah.
Uh huh. Listen.
And we're back. And we're back.
Listen. So as soon as I find all of the

(01:15:45):
dialogue for Death Becomes Her the Musical, we're doing a
parody drag performance of the whole thing.
This is after what is that otherthing that we drunkenly watched
the other day? Sordid lives.
Yeah. And you said you want to I.
Have that script. I know you do.
I have that script. We can really do that one.

(01:16:06):
Yikes. And see if it's parody you.
Don't have to pay. Like you don't have to pay
anything because it's parody. And if we all do, If we do it in
drag. That's enough of a parody.
And you could probably change some of the lyrics enough.
Yeah, You know, I'm going to workshop that put.
The auto tune on my microphone. God bless it.

(01:16:28):
It's time to work it or tuck it.I guess mine.
So I just came up with these who's.
Taking money out of my cash out.Me lock the card.
Tried to order $96.00 worth of DoorDash.
Lock the card. Lock the card.
Somebody doesn't. It declined.
Somebody that stole your shit, that's the worst. $90.00 worth

(01:16:54):
of DoorDash. What are you ordering from?
DoorDash this time it does say decline for my protection.
That's good. Cash app was like she ordering
$90.00 worth of DoorDash. They did it twice.
Interesting, did it go through or but cancelled both times?
Said for my own safety. Declined.

(01:17:16):
And it it says I should temporarily lock my card.
That's crazy. Get more protection by allowing
location access I guess. So they know where you are and
when you're trying to use your card.
Well now I got to this is what Connor is going to just get
Connors at work? Also, Connor knows that I don't
have $90.00 to be getting Door Dash.

(01:17:37):
So he ain't door dashing $90.00.Worth of stuff to work I would
the way I would yell at himself $90.00 of Door Dash.
What are you ordering for $90.00on door dash?
Two burgers from Five Guys. Rest in peace, we just lost our
5. Guys downtown just closed.
That's hilarious. Well, when it's $27.49 for a

(01:17:57):
burger, a fries and a large drink, yeah, I'm not going.
Yeah, at all. Yeah.
Not when I'm for you. It's $30.00 for you.
One. One person.
Yeah, One person. Yeah.
No, no. Yeah, No.
I. Was telling Connor the other
day, I think that that. Burger bubble is bursting.
I'm glad I I just. There were so many places burger

(01:18:18):
bubble to bust and I want the chicken finger bubble to bust.
I don't hear in Auburn. There's so many fucking chicken
finger places around here. It's a lot finally have AI guess
we have less burger ish place. We, we Auburn kind of missed
that. The only thing I don't want to
go away is smalls. Those little sliders are so
fucking good. OK, but even if the places stay,

(01:18:39):
what's really happening is why are we charging these prices for
a burger? Well smalls is affordable I will
say that Not sponsored but can be wild and the the best thing
to do with smalls is order on the app and then go pick it up
at the window anyway. That's just good advice.
That's just good advice. You're going to get what you

(01:18:59):
want you. Can go through the drive
through, but sometimes the drivethrough is hit or miss,
Sometimes it's really slammed orsometimes there's one person in
it. And so the easiest thing to do
is God, I'm telling myself. No, that's my favorite, Karen.
Behavior. If I order, if I order my smalls
at the house, by the time I leave and get over there, it's

(01:19:23):
ready. I pick it up and come home.
Done. It takes like 10 minutes.
Yeah, it's so fast. No, no, no.
I mean I, I, I, I don't order Taco Bell on the drive through.
I only use the. App.
Aaron loves using the app for everything.
If it has an app, Aaron's using it.
Yeah, well, and then also at Taco Bell, Aaron's adding Pico

(01:19:44):
de Gallo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So just let me fuck my shit up and then I get to rolling me
like I have that order for Ian. Well, and then there's no
communication error. Yep, you know exactly what I
want because I type it out and. Print it out on your little
ticket printer. Yeah, yeah.
Because that's where the errors.Come into play what I want.
Yeah. Yeah.
And sometimes you learn what youcan and can't customize because

(01:20:05):
you've been able to fuck around that.
Love it. OK.
Sorry, that's our work at our tuckets.
I do love AI, do love a mobile. Order So I think what inspired
my work at our Tuckets was the unfortunate quick ending of the
Bonnaroo music festival because of rain and severe weather and

(01:20:27):
flooding and all of that. So work at or tuck at music
festivals. I've never been to 1.
I do think I am probably too oldto to really enjoy being out
there in the dirt and a tent or my car.
I need a RV at minimum. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the way to do it, is to be rich enough to have some sort

(01:20:50):
of glamping spots. Yeah.
A camper or an RV or air conditioning yeah I'm not a
especially now that I'm actuallygetting into like like
electronic music and different kind of stuff like that the kind
of stuff that like that's where you.
OK, but if I go, if I'm going toBonnaroo or Coachella or any of
these festivals, I need a sugar daddy because I need like

(01:21:12):
VIPVIPVIP status because I'm notfighting general admission pit
front row. I guess you got to.
I want to stand on the stage andwatch it.
You better sell those hair vitamin gummy and you did it on
my birthday I. I'll be an influencer, it's

(01:21:34):
fine. I am going to say tuck it to
music. Festival.
I do think the Golden Era festivals is over and I think
now they are more capitalistic than ever, that part.
And that's the problem, I think,when Coachella first popped
around. Because Coachella's not a new.

(01:21:54):
That was the heyday. That was when you.
That was when you was. Famously, you know, people
talking about it like Woodstock.Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
Yeah, absolutely. You know, But now Coachella's
come so far and out of Bonnaroo and so many others.
Everything sells out so fast andeverything costs so.
Much scalpers. Thank you.
Yeah, when they fix that, yes, maybe a lot of that will come.

(01:22:16):
We got to get rid of scalping. We got to get rid of the bots.
Like, there's got to be a way for them to verify that you're a
real human and actually going tocome to this concert before you
buy that ticket. Well, because not only are
festivals ruined by that, but like regular concerts are
Beyoncé's ticket, No? And that's you even see the
artist complaining about it because it means the people in

(01:22:39):
the audience are just people whoare rich enough to buy the
tickets, not fans. And what would be smart is if
these artists all got together and kind of like did a little
class action lawsuit against ticket, whatever.
Ticketmaster. Yeah, Ticketmaster.
They're the problem. It is just.
I was like whatever their. Name is Ticketmaster in Live
Nation. Which those Live Nation?

(01:22:59):
Live Nation by the role, Yeah. Yeah, I think I am.
It takes a village. Too old for a music festival?
I just honestly, sometimes, I mean, I don't go to concerts
very often because again, they're really expensive, but
they're. Listen, they're so loud.
If a concert was it 3:00 in the afternoon and I was home in my

(01:23:22):
bed by 6 PMI am sold. I hate you know how some of
these artists they like start their show like 2 hours late?
They don't care about the fines.I don't get that.
It's just so unprofessional. Well, and like, you act like all
those people that came to see you ain't got nothing else to
do, so you're making them sit there and wait for two extra

(01:23:42):
hours like they didn't get a hotel room.
They got to turn around and go right back home after your
concert's over with. So thank you to Beyoncé and
Gaga, because when they tell youthe show starts at 8, it does
stage at 8 O1 it does that show starts.
On time drag, honey. On time drag.
Because Beyoncé and Gaga want tobe in their hotel room or on
their plane at 10:30. But this is my plea to anybody

(01:24:08):
who organizes these shows. You would have so many more
millennials at your shows if yougave us a 3:00 PM matinee.
Or even even if you started something at like 6 or 7 instead
of always at 9:10. 9 Why does ithave to start at nine?
Yeah, No, tuck it, tuck it. Sometimes I don't even like that

(01:24:34):
our our aventress shows start at10.
Listen, that pride after party show starting at 10:00.
That shit should have started at8:00.
We should have just went right into that bitch like.
Well, minus the fact that I really did enjoy after I dropped
off the trailer. Being able to breathe.
Well, I don't know about breathe, but I got to like, take
everything off and like Connor and I just like, stood in the

(01:24:57):
shower for like 10-15 minutes and then we were like, OK.
I did take a whole last shower. Yeah.
But then I had to like, yeah, I had to get back in.
Glitter. Yeah, that $20 TikTok wig.
That you? Is that the one that you?
So I have two of them. I have two of the same wig.

(01:25:17):
One of them is a long. Tell the children what you did
to your wig that you wore at Pridefest.
This has nothing to do with the worker or tuckets, but I can't
believe we made the episode without.
You So I have two wigs that I bought from TikTok because
sometimes you just need a synthetic wig to throw on really
quick and go somewhere and do stuff with trade anyway.

(01:25:39):
So I have a long one and then I have a Bob that's like, think
Hormonalisa, but curly, right? Yeah, right.
Honestly, yeah, that's a good. Thing hormonalisa little bang
with a little bang because my TikTok wigs, they got banged so
I don't have to put makeup on myforehead anyway.
And that's gay rights and that'sgay rights.

(01:26:02):
And so after Pride fest, the allthe stuff, the moo moos and
everything I wore, I kind of just dumped it on the bed in the
drag room because there's a bed in my drag room.
It's also the guest room. Anyway, whatever.
So the next day after the pool party and everything, I go to do

(01:26:23):
laundry and I just pick up the pile of moo moos and throw it in
the washing machine and it washes everything.
And then I take everything out of the washing machine and throw
it all in the dryer and I let itdry.
And then I come back and I open the dryer and there's a wig
sitting on top of all of my mumus.

(01:26:43):
And I wish that my face could have been videotaped from that
moment because I'm going to haveto post a picture of it.
Y'all. It is so stupid.
It is fried to hell, there are no curls anymore, it is just
dreadlocks now and the bangs. It's.

(01:27:03):
Sticking out just straight full directions.
Yeah it is trashed. So maybe when you wash or drag,
make sure there are no wigs hidden anywhere in your.
I just wanted to know what happened if you just we got to
wash one on cold see what happens.
Well, I. No, I didn't wash it on cold

(01:27:25):
'cause everything was sweated through.
Well, the. Dryer certainly destroyed baby.
Yeah yeah, yeah. The dryer like a TikTok.
I'm surprised. I'm so so so thankful.
Melting stick all your girl 'cause some girl wigs will.
If that wig would have melted and ruined that dryer, I would
have been pissed. A $20 wig ruining a $1200 dryer?

(01:27:50):
Yeah. Been so upset, so upset.
I'll I'll sort through my stuff better next time.
Well, because I thought I'd already grabbed the wig out, but
it ended up being the long one that I saw and not the short one
because it's two of the same wig, but one's long and 1 short,
and I saw the long one and not the short one.

(01:28:11):
The short one was mixed up with the memos anyway, believe me.
I What a wig. It is now.
Got to come up with a number. I got to have a whole costume
for that. Oh my God, that's my vomit
Vision performance. Yikes.
Back to the worker tuckets. That's funny you said that yours

(01:28:33):
were inspired by Bonnaroo. My first worker tucket is the
this. This is a southern thing, but
like the summer rain, it's different.
It's like it's raining. It's rained every day, at least
a little bit every day. So what pissed me off the other
day was it looked like it wasn'tgoing to rain and it had gotten

(01:28:53):
like four, 4:30 in the afternoon.
And you know, if it's going to rain, it's going to rain here
around 3-4 o'clock it's going tostart.
And it hadn't started yet. And I was like, well, I really
need to water my plants since it's not going to rain today.
So I go out there and I water everything.
I water my hydrangeas, I water my hostas, I water all of my
plants that are in my backyard. Skittles can tell you it's a

(01:29:16):
lot. It's a lot.
I get done watering my plants. Go sit down in the living room.
Thunder cracks and it starts to rain.
It's so sudden, it's so sudden, so sudden.
And it'll be the days like that where it looks like it's going
to rain all day and then it doesn't.

(01:29:37):
But then there's also days whereit's like sunny and then it just
rains for. Out of nowhere, it's and.
Then it goes away and it's sunnyagain.
And then it's hot as hell. The reason I don't like the
reason tuck it on that summer afternoon rain, is because once
it's done, it is like we're all.In steam like crab legs.

(01:29:57):
Of an oven, you know it's nothing.
I mean, I probably got to say tuck it.
I again, as I said at the top ofthe episode, I got a lot of a
lot of allergies and sinuses. So sometimes like I know it's
going to rain because like I will just like.
Wake up to a I'll. Just be at work and I'll be
like, oh, there something's happening.
The sky is changing. I have a weird headache.

(01:30:19):
I'm sneezing. The pressure has moved.
Yeah, not a fan. Not a fan.
Get it together, Rain. No, tuck it.
And especially because I think all this afternoon rain has
killed my pepper plants. Uh oh, I'm so old anyway, not
your pepper plant tech it. Well, thankfully, I'm kind of

(01:30:39):
glad we're having all this afternoon rain because we're not
in a drought situation for Alabama right now, which is
really good when we get. Those messages telling us we
can't. Burn anything.
Yeah, so. Today it was raining while I was
at work and I was it was near the time I needed to leave and I
was like, I'm parked behind the coffee shop and it's not paved.

(01:31:00):
No, that's mud. It's.
Like mud and gravel and grass and I was like, I'm going to
have to like, swim to get to my car.
So I literally was in my office and I heard the Thunder and I
said, all right, I'm going home.Goodbye.
And I, I walked to my because I got a 10 minute walk to the
parking deck. So I as soon as I got in my

(01:31:21):
truck and started to drive, the bottom fell out and I was like,
well, this is wonderful. Great.
But I mean, it's needed work it and tuck it at the same time, I
guess. Fuck, I don't know, work it or
tuck it. Those little neighborhood ice
cream trucks that drive around? OK, when I was a kid, I love the

(01:31:46):
ice cream truck and we would regularly, like my parents would
regularly we would get ice creamfrom the ice cream truck when I
was a kid. This is when I lived in South
Carolina. Yeah, let me tell you what.
When I, I don't know. I don't know.
I think it's better now when I first moved to Auburn.

(01:32:07):
Why do the ice cream trucks looksketchy as fuck here?
Why is that? Why is that AGMC van that you
cut the side out of to save money?
Because the ice cream trucks when I lived in South Carolina,
they look like the Kona Ice trucks.
They get like it's a nice big truck with real labels on the
side. And I'm telling you, these look

(01:32:29):
like you don't like these look like our Southern cargo vans
with a chest cooler in them. Like those people that drive
around and sell steaks? Yeah, oh, a month or two ago.
Oh, it was the not this fresh faces were probably the the last

(01:32:51):
fresh faces because I was there and Deja was painting Nevaeh.
We're all upstairs. I'm getting in drag 2 and
somebody rings my doorbell and Iwas like, oh, well, maybe it's
like Sydney and she's early. No, it was some dude walking
door, excuse me, walking door todoor, taking people's numbers,
asking if he was selling hot plates of food.

(01:33:12):
He's like, I do. He's like I do, I do like
Sundays and Tuesdays or whatever.
I'd one day I do chicken, one day wait.
How much was it? Though I don't remember, I will
say I opened the door. I'm halfway through painting my
mug. He marked your house off that
list. He is never coming back to your

(01:33:35):
house ever. Ever.
And. He not only it was him, it was
also his like his son, like a child.
And when I say child, I mean like, not like like 14, like
lesson 10 this child was. Less than 10 years old.
He and his son were walking doorto door trying to sell Alabama.
Not today. I listen, I'm all for an

(01:33:55):
entrepreneur. You are technically breaking the
law because you need to be in a health inspector facility and
have a business license in Auburn.
You could get in trouble, but I'm all for it.
Get your coin, hustle. But I have to give this man
credit not only for breaking thelaw to hustle.
He did not stop or stutter. He he said good afternoon, blah,

(01:34:18):
blah, blah. I live 23 silver.
I'm selling hot plates. You look like you're in the
middle of something. I don't want to take too much of
your time. That was a such a nice way to
put. It.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you look like you're in
the middle. Of something surely gave him a
fake number and but he has not been back to my door, probably
because I startled the. Shut up.
I bet you he watched me. He was like, well, we're not

(01:34:39):
going back. To that so funny.
I so unfortunately, when I was achild, I lived in the middle of
nowhere and there were no ice cream trucks.
Yeah, none. So the first time I ever really
saw an ice cream truck was when I started working at the Drake
and when I directed traffic ice cream trucks.
No, that ice cream truck just. Rolls to that neighborhood.

(01:35:02):
And so after school, I think he's smart because he's like,
these kids want some ice cream. And so he rolls to the
neighborhood while everybody's walking home or whatever,
selling his ice cream or whatever.
And I was like, I want ice creamfrom the ice cream truck.
And so when we used to live on Harmon, an ice cream truck would
roll through there. You bet your ass one or two
times I went out there and got me ice cream.

(01:35:23):
I live at the end, like near theintersection of my street.
The ice cream truck always cuts their music off before they get
to my house cuz he's like, I'm done.
The neighborhood's over, it's not over.
I'm here. I want an Ice Cream Sandwich
with the 2 the 2 cookies with the ice cream in the.
Middle. Those are my.
Favorite. I love those.
Those are so good. Love those.
Aaron went down to the hotel lobby to get a couple of bottled

(01:35:47):
waters, and he wanted a snack orsomething.
Yeah. And I had already fallen asleep
and he had sent me a video of the snacks or whatever.
And he was like, do you want anything?
Yeah, I'm out. I'm asleep.
Gone. He comes back.
He comes back up with a bottle of water and one of those ice
cream sandwiches. I was like, you know, you

(01:36:07):
already know, but work it to a ice cream truck.
I have not seen an ice cream truck since I moved to Opelika.
That's the way do you live in like a real like?
Neighborhood. A neighborhood, Yeah.
So I figured like a ice cream truck would bust through this
neighborhood. But the answer to that question
is no. Work it to a ice cream truck.
I shouldn't have ice cream. Every time I eat ice cream I

(01:36:27):
regret it. It makes me feel sick but.
Apparently if you are lactose intolerant, Dairy Queen's ice
cream is not real ice cream, so it won't fuck you up.
Frozen. Frozen dessert, I guess they
call it, Yeah. I don't know what it is, Yeah.
But. Because Megan's lactose
intolerant so, but she can eat Dairy Queen I to be.
Called ice cream, it has to havea certain amount of actual dairy

(01:36:50):
content. Here we go talking about dairy
and. If that made it percentage is
low enough, it cannot be called.It legally can't be called.
So I guess it just doesn't have enough dairy in it.
Frozen dessert. Yeah, Interesting.
I do occasionally get the like the the oat milk ice creams or
whatever. I don't like almonds, so I don't

(01:37:12):
get almond milk ice cream. Oat milk ice cream.
It depends on the brand. You know what makes a good ice
cream? Real ice cream.
I mean, yeah, but I can't have that without blowing up like a
fucking balloon. They make a pill for that.
It Have you had a lactate pill? They're disgusting.
I am not lactose intolerant, thank Goddess.
They don't always work, and sometimes you have to take two

(01:37:32):
or three of them. Also, you have to take it every
hour. Yeah.
So I'm just supposed to be at atthe party popping lactates?
Yeah, not popping mollies. Popping lactates on the hour.
Every hour. I got to take two of them.
I don't know. They taste disgusting.
They're the same texture as likea Tums.
Nothing. Never mind.
Yep. Except they taste like they make

(01:37:54):
them creamy flavored like ice cream.
You ever had like a like a like the freeze dried like space ice
cream. Yes, that, that, yeah.
OK, yeah, OK. Yeah, Aaron got some of them
frozen Skittles like that one time and I just.
I have wanted to try the Skittles pop.
What are they called? Skittles pops.
Yeah, they're not good. Oh, it just felt like freezer

(01:38:17):
burnt ice, you know, freezer burnt candy, you know what I
mean? Maybe that's how they invented
them. Something got something?
Got it. Was an accident.
Yeah, well, I feel like sometimes new products are
byproducts of two products, you know, Silly Putty was an
accident. See, There you go.
Post it. Notes were an accident.
Post it. Notes were supposed to be
permanently A fixable. I rest my case.

(01:38:38):
Yeah. What's your next work in a
Tucker? Well, funny enough, it's post
it. I'm just gonna no.
How do we feel about going to the lake?
Oh girl, I love going to the lake.
Oh my God, work it. I Oh girl, I.
Do you get in the lake? Yeah, No, absolutely not.

(01:39:00):
See, this is where I am. Country as country comes because
I was raised on the lake. If we went baby, I'm so broke.
Our family vacations, we're going to the lake.
To like a friend's house. No, in an RV you can't hear it.
But the frogs, the frogs outsideare just like, no.

(01:39:23):
OK, so my grandfather had ARV. Yeah, it wasn't a big RV.
So it's not even your RV? No borrowed somebody's RV.
We wouldn't have family, but like the family affair.
With your grandparents. Yeah, well, my grand, my those
grandparents were divorced, so it was just my grandfather,
which he was cool. I.
Didn't do things with my grandparents, half of them were

(01:39:45):
dead before I was. Born this grandfather, his name
was Papa Jack and every time I saw Papa Jack he let me dead in
my eyes and said, how's the hanging boy?
Every time. So that's how Papa Jack was.
So he had a little RV that had like a queen bed in the back and
then had like the sleeper up at the top and then the couches
could turn into little beds as well.

(01:40:07):
We would all get in that motherfucking RV.
Too many people. Too many people because there
were like four of us sleeping inthe the little.
Attic yellow little you fit. And we did.
I was like 789. I can remember this Florella,
Lake Florella for a weekend trip.
Just go down there, park the RV,camp out in the RV for a

(01:40:29):
weekend, come back home, eat some fried chicken and banana
sandwiches. It is.
My daddy had to drive his truck so he could pull the boat so we
can have a boat. Wild.
Because we like to ski and knee board and and, you know, tubing
all that. So.

(01:40:50):
And that's what you do on like Florella is you go skiing, you
do the inner tubes. It is.
Yeah, girl, that's my whole upbringing.
I love that shit. Is well documented.
I cannot swim. That's what life is for.
Not getting in water I can't seethrough.
I don't trust that lake water. I hate it.
I hate it. Tuck a lake.

(01:41:11):
One of the. Fastest I'll go to somebody's
house and be in their backyard next to the lake and we can
grill out I'll. Go to the lake.
House I like a lakeside I'm not getting in the water.
I do not trust water I cannot see through.
I don't get in the ocean either one of the.
Fastest I'm. Not walking across.
The coast. Ever seen my dad move is we had

(01:41:32):
just pulled the boat up to the little inlet where we were kind
of camping with our RV. And I mean, it's shrubs, it's a
lake, it's whatever. This water moccasin just starts
swimming across the top of the water and a couple of my cousins
were in the water. My father jumps out of the boat
into the water, picks up both ofmy cousins and throws them into

(01:41:55):
the boat and then jumps back into the boat himself.
And that snake's just swimming across the water does not bother
nobody. Nope.
But it is a water moccasin that can kill you, so we moved out
the way. Snakes, fish, Gators, dead
bodies, glass. I'm not getting in the lake.
Absolutely. I guess it's because I guess

(01:42:16):
that's just how I was raised. I mean, my, my dad's mother, I
remember we went to the lake with her once and she couldn't
swim and she was like, I'm goingto be lakeside all day.
I'm not getting in the boat. I don't need to get in the boat.

(01:42:36):
I don't. Need to get I don't really like
boats either. Like no, I don't trust him.
So no cruises for. You I will go on a cruise.
That's a very large boat. That's a shield.
If you're inside, you don't feellike you're on the.
Water, that's what Aaron said. Aaron said.
If you're in a cruise, see, I'venever done a big cruise.
I've done a Disney Cruise. No, before you eat the rich.

(01:42:57):
It was for my little brother's. Make a wish.
So feel guilty. He's alive.
He's in remission. We could talk about kind of an
asshole. It's great.
I love him, he's my family. But yeah, we got it.
That was what the genies gave uswas a Disney cruise.
So we did a Disney cruise. And when you're inside the boat,

(01:43:19):
most modern cruise ships have stabilization systems.
So you don't really unless the water is really, really bad,
which in the in the Gulf area, the water doesn't get super bad
most times of the year. So it was fine.
One day it was a little windy and so we stayed in the
interior. So would you ever do a cruise to
the North Sea? I don't know.

(01:43:41):
That's the one with like. The yo, yeah, I've seen the
ticket. Yo ho, whatever.
I would. I don't know.
Hell no, girl. I don't know.
Hell no, I don't know. It's funny that I'll get in a
lake but I won't get on a cruiseship.
I think if you did like a like agolf like a golf cruise.
Now I have, when we went to Chicago for show choir, we did

(01:44:03):
do as a group, Yeah. A dinner cruise.
Yeah. Yeah.
And they had like dinner theatregoing on on the stage.
But it was like in a little bit like lake it was.
About like a like a fairy. Site.
Yeah, yeah, it was like a fairy.Was it a little rocky?
No. Because I did a, it was pretty
good. I did a like a like a. 9 But it

(01:44:23):
was a pretty big like. It was a pretty big like.
I did a the Disney cruise was super like there was no I and I
get motion 6. Like I was kind of nervous.
It was fine. I did do there was a smaller
boat we took on the cruise to get to an island where we could
meet a dolphin. That's a whole separate story.

(01:44:44):
I'm not not bringing up the dolphins again, but the tiny
boat that we took to get to the dolphins I did not enjoy.
And I closed my eyes all the time.
But also when the last time I was in Savannah, I did a like 90
minute like river cruise where they could just go up and down a
part of the river and you get tosee sort of some of the history
or whatever. It was mostly OK.

(01:45:06):
It wasn't the most stable boat. It was a little little rickety.
It felt weird inside the boat, Not only outside watching the
sights, but when you inside the boat it was a little weird.
I guess I don't know. I've been on boats my whole
life, so that's probably the difference.
I guess I'm just used to it, youknow, like we are.

(01:45:27):
Like I said, we didn't go to thebeach for family vacations.
We went to the lake. We did boats and fishing and all
that. A ship, a large vessel.
Because I've toured, toured, toured, toured, toured.
I've toured the USS Alabama. No, I'm too claustrophobic.
Well, yeah, you're kind of right.

(01:45:49):
But I've toured the USS Alabama twice.
I've toured the USS Yorktown, which is an aircraft carrier in
Charleston, SC I've toured that probably 4 times.
I do want to go on the USS Constitution in Boston.
That's the old one. The old.
Tailing vessel. Yeah, I want to go on.
That's not so badly. I I'll tour any old, any old

(01:46:09):
ship, anything old. But you have to go to the
coastal cities to do that. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and but I love Boston. The Queen Mary is in LA.
I've never done that one. It's a ocean liner that's the
predecessor to a cruise ship. For those of you that aren't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's actually a hotel now.
You can, You can, but because it's a hotel slash museum slash
historical thing, it's not great.

(01:46:31):
Like the air conditioning isn't ideal.
I was about to say, I don't knowif I want to stay on a boat as
my hotel girl. Also haunted as fuck.
Of course it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Haunted as. Fuck, of course it.
Is yeah, I know all of this because during the LA fires, the
only hotel that was the boat seen Katya's management could
get was the Queen Mary. So they when they evaded the

(01:46:54):
fires and they were told to evacuate, that's where their
management got them was they got2 rooms on the Queen Mary.
Jesus Christ, send me to Nevada OR.
Something I don't know, I don't know, Yeah.
Work it a day at the lake, honey.
Absolutely not. Absolutely work it, suck it.

(01:47:15):
I can't swim. That's so funny.
It's not funny, but it's funny. I don't like that lake water
don't freaks me out. Well, you.
You. Probably don't like the lake
bottom either. Like the squishy and she can't
see something. I've been in her toes.
One time something's going bite her toes she can't see.
Exactly. I don't, I don't trust.

(01:47:36):
I've been to lake one time. I've been in the ocean like
twice. Well, that's a great segue for
my next work at her Tuck I. Have to say the ocean.
Work at her tuck it a relaxing afternoon by the pool.
I'm OK with that. I'm OK with that.
I can see the bottom of a pool. Especially mine.

(01:47:57):
Now yours has a steep enough slope.
I do get that slope be sloping. And it's quick.
It comes up when. You and again can't swim.
So I sometimes I feel that I'm like, this is it.
I'm going, yeah, there are enough of us in there that
would. You're not.
Going I hope, I hope. You're not going.
Under I did learn. I don't know if this was the
last full party. That's something I'm saying.

(01:48:19):
Like apparently my husband has been a lifeguard before.
I. Have been a lifeguard that has
been a lifeguard before it's. Fine, you're not going to drive,
I feel. Kind of safe.
You're not going. To drive, I like AI like a
little pool. I love our afternoons by the
pool because we talk so much shit in that pool.
Yeah, yeah. What happens at the miss field

(01:48:42):
pool parties days of the. Miss Field Party and we're
talking about like ourselves. Like, yeah, we're not talking
shit about other people, we're talking shit about ourselves.
Some truths. Come out at the pool park.
We're like, well, if I'm honest.Yeah, yeah.
Diamond asked if she could do a show, an all black show at the

(01:49:05):
coffee shop. And I was like, yeah, why not?
And then she messaged me later was like, girl, was you just
saying that to me? And I was like, no, we can
absolutely do that. But she's like, I thought it was
the tequila talking. I was like, well, stop feeding
me tequila. Well.
That's what we. Do she had a bottle?
What was that? I don't know.
The couch making, What was that?She had a bottle of tequila and

(01:49:29):
we. Were just.
Yeah, I helped. I was there just pouring loose
tequila in. People's mouths other bottle of
tequila that was in my. No, no, no, I'm saving that.
That's for. That's for I got to go get some
more bourbon. I'm out and I can't be out.
Uh oh, I know, right? That's why I get really.
I'll go tomorrow when I finish abottle of tequila at my house.

(01:49:50):
I'm like, what am I supposed to drink?
Now? I have a full, I have a full bar
cabinet, y'all, because because my husband and I both like, we
like the idea of mixology. The problem is, is like
sometimes I don't want all of that I want.
I just, I just need a good old classic.
Just yeah, give me a bourbon on the rock.
Thank. You while.

(01:50:11):
Yes, work it a wonderful afternoon by the pool I.
Love an afternoon by the pool? Especially if there's cocktails
flowing and good food. Grilled meat.
Grilled meats. What an idiot.
I love AI, love a good grilled meat.
I have I guess one more. I hope so, yeah.
This is actually kind of taken aback to Earlier we talked about
ice cream trucks. How do you feel about snow

(01:50:34):
cones? OK.
It's one of the best grifs I think I've ever seen in my life.
That's such a great way to describe.
Them. Because you mean to tell me you
just took some shaved ice that cost you not nama money and put
$0.10 worth of some flavored syrup on it and sold it to me

(01:50:56):
for $12.00? Yeah, genius.
And that's not the commemorative.
Cup genius and that's. Not $20.00 for the plastic cup,
exactly the color changing. Cup $12.00 if you just get the
Styrofoam, but if you get that color changing commemorative
cup, that's going to be 20 bucks.
Thank you, I appreciate that. It's one of the best griffs I've
ever seen in modern America. It really is and I don't I don't

(01:51:20):
like them. It's ice you're paying for ice.
You're. Just paying for flavored the.
First couple bites are good because of the syrup and that's
only like as I remember from being a kid right?
As an adult I have never enjoyedthem.
They make my SO. They used to bring the two
expense truck to the school all the time.
It's so yeah. And when?
I did it when I went to Drake. When I first started teaching

(01:51:42):
there, I would get me a little cone of irons and then I'm like,
why am I eating this? Yeah.
Why did I pay $6? Well, teachers didn't have to
pay things. That's nice.
But I'd like eat two or three bites and I'd be like, I'm done
with this. Yeah, no, I'm over it.
Yeah, no Tuck. It the moment it starts melting,
it's just sugar water and not it's not.
It's I would rather have one of those gas station ices.

(01:52:06):
I do like like a slushy icy situation, a Coca-Cola ice.
Girl. Yeah, or the blue girl.
Coca-Cola. I love the Coca-Cola, the
classic Coca-Cola Icy that it's really bad that the gas station
right up here by the house has those.
Yeah, because I'll be driving and I'll be like, I think I'm
just gonna get. A little a tree I haven't.

(01:52:26):
Had they used to be cheap? They're not.
Cheap, I know you know because. That could get a large icy for
like a dollar. When I was a kid, like my mom
would take me and my sister Ashley to Target and we would
each get a little like dollar 50slushy and my mom would get her
some Starbucks and we got to go on an adventure.
Yes, absolutely. And now they're $6.

(01:52:47):
Fuck it. But I still get one I need to.
I need to get one. I probably just hurt my teeth,
but I need to get I'll get a little.
One so that that is funny. I used to get a large one, now I
just be getting the little one. Can't do something, anything
frozen like that. I can't do the really big.
It's just too much. Also, it's going to melt and

(01:53:08):
then it's just sad. Aaron to Sonic to get us some
Oreo blast. They don't need to be the 32
ounce he. Came back with the 32 ounce Oreo
blast, I said. Too much we.
Could have shared this. Yeah, I'm not going to.
And I didn't eat the whole thing.
Yeah, I put. I ate 1/4 of it.
And I think that the smallest blast is like 16 ounces you.

(01:53:29):
Get a mini. Oh, that's what I need.
I need. They have a mini now and that's
what we get. Ounces.
Yeah, I think it's 6 or 8 ounces.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I need. It's just a little mini.
It's more than enough. I've started going to Dairy
Queen and getting the brownie Oreo cup faction.
But we don't have a Dairy Queen in Auburn.
Well, I'm sorry, I live in Opelika and I can drive over

(01:53:50):
here to the Dairy Queen and. I live so close to the Sonic in
Auburn, but the Sonic in Auburn is rash.
Trash. I feel like all sonics have gone
downhill lately. It sucks because that's one of
the things, when I was a kid, Sonic, my mom, we used to love
going to a Sonic and we all get a little, we get mozzarella
sticks or French fries and we all get a blast.

(01:54:11):
After high school let out, Sonicwas where we went and hung out
in the parking lot. Sonic the parking lot between
Sonic and Winn-dixie. When I was a kid I wanted to be
a car hop so bad. That was back when they.
On the rollerblades, Yeah, yeah,yeah.
You can still do it on the skates.
You get paid extra. Have you seen The Hill that
that? Auburn, that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget.
There are two in Auburn, one on South College and one over there

(01:54:32):
by. Oh, my God, you're right.
I forgot about that one. That was poorly.
That's a you're telling me your shindig is that you got people
on skates and then you're going to put us on a hill, A steep
hill? A steep hill.
Yeah. I don't get snow cones.
Oh I will say you are right withlike the the the robbery of it
all because the new Kona trucks when I was a kid, they put the

(01:54:55):
syrup on there for you. Now you pay $10.00 for them to
give you a cup of ice and the nozzles for the syrup on the
side of the truck. You are making your own snow
cone and you're paying for ice and a cup.
That's like I will not go to anyrestaurant where I have to cook

(01:55:16):
my own food. What restaurants do you cook?
Aaron loves Korean. Aaron loves Korean barbecue and
the hot pot and everything like that.
I'm not going to a restaurant and cooking my own food.
Well now that every restaurant feels like you have to like
remortgage your house, you mightas well go to a full service sit

(01:55:37):
down restaurant because it's going to be more than you want.
And yeah, no, I'm not. I might as well enjoy it.
If I'm cook, I'm going to stay here at my house, so I have my
moo moo on and my tits out. You mean I got to wear clothes?
You kind of got to put a bra on.And you're going to charge me
$60.00 for something I could have made at home?
Tuck it. Yeah, Tuck it.

(01:55:58):
Yeah, that's a good one. The griftification of it all.
We need to, we need to talk about that for season.
Two, I It's wild and honestly like kudos on you for convincing
everyone that snow cones are good because there were three
snow cone trucks at practice 3. Well, one of them was like a.
I'm not counting the Daiquiri place, if you count the Daiquiri

(01:56:21):
place four. Yeah.
Now some of them sold other things.
I'm just saying that's a lot of snow cones.
That's a lot of snow. That's.
A lot of snow cones. You know what we need?
A BBQ truck. Give me some pulled pork.
I think the BBQ truck we normally have, they don't have
their BBQ truck anymore. That sucks, I know.
Well, I also know sometimes likeI.

(01:56:41):
Think I think it was a duo and Ithink they also spoil.
It's like summertime. So like a lot of food trucks are
like, they get kind of booked out.
So like you really you didn't. You got to, yeah.
You got to really get on it. You got to really get on it.
So next year we need to ask all the food trucks what are you
doing in June? But we got to ask them in March.
Currently at the time of filmingand at the time of release of

(01:57:01):
this episode, you can catch a couple of more drag shows at the
end of June. On Saturday, June 21st, we're
coming at you with our Past the Crown competition.
It's coming back, baby. Are you excited?
I am I really want to see what people bring.
I've already seen some of the, you know, because we have our
discord server for the up and coming drug people and also my

(01:57:23):
my drag children are interested.So they've been tossing around
like ideas or like the themes that they like and don't like.
I've also said people just ask me like, which themes am I
interested in seeing? I mean, I mean, obviously
because we came up with a theme,we're interested in all of them,
but there are a couple around. Like, I really want to see what
people come up with because we really want people to like.
Lean into the theme Do. Something, you know, funny, Do

(01:57:46):
something unique. I like that we had somebody
message us and ask if they had to be in drag to do the lip sync
competition. And I know it's just a lip sync
competition. We didn't say it was a drag
competition. But in that same vein, think
about the grating rubric that wehave online.
Yeah, right. You need to have a cohesive look

(01:58:07):
together. It you, you got to be put
together. You can't just show.
Up. Jeans and AT shirt and expect
that you're going to win this lip sync.
Conference because there are 900drag babies in Auburn and
they're. All ready to do it?
Yeah, all of them, which I'm glad.
No, it's, I mean, that's why we brought it.
Back because you know. Fresh faces is nice and all, but
we want to give people somethingmore to.

(01:58:29):
Challenge themselves, absolutely.
And the competitions really do help with that.
Especially I feel like this competition it, it doesn't, the
stakes aren't it's a good. Stepping stone, it's a great
like here's a challenge, but it's not like, you know, it's
not as it's not as rigorous as apageant.
It's not something that's going to cost you a ton of money.
Like I would encourage you if atall possible to utilize existing

(01:58:52):
pieces Agreed where possible. That's actually just good advice
for any competition. Pick a, pick a theme that you're
like, oh, I have this wardrobe, this outfit in my wardrobe.
I could wear this with this theme and it'll go together
great. Boom, 'cause we don't want you
to just have like a cool outfit.This isn't a runway show, right?
We want, like, this song is really a pain, me, baby.
It really needs to be. On theme, all of it, the judging

(01:59:15):
categories are not weighed because that's too much math.
But honestly, you need the performance is what we're
looking for. It's a lip sync competition and
I think the I know you're reallyexcited about the Halloween
theme. I'm excited just about
Halloween. I love.
I'm super excited about Little Mix Blank.
That one I if there's any category where I encourage you

(01:59:38):
to just go full tilt. Balls to the wall.
I don't want you to pick a pageant, a made-up pageant title
that is at all realistic. Like you need to be like Little
Mix, peanut butter and Jelly. What is that Little Mix?
Do something crazy. Little Mix spaghetti and
meatballs. Like I need it to be stupid.
OK, stupid. Yeah.

(02:00:01):
And if you need a mix for that, Biscuit is really good.
Yeah. Plug.
She didn't ask me to do that, but I'll do it anyway.
I'm super excited to see what people bring for that one that
was. Going to be the first one, our
first one this month is Pride. Show your Pride.
So hopefully they already have some pride outfits in their
closet, you know? We gave you the easy.
We gave you the easy one first and then so check out creative

(02:00:23):
vomit dot studio slash pass the crown and you can see all of the

You would have known when no flyer came out.

(02:02:11):

I haven't. Like I said, I haven't seen a
flyer for it, but I feel like Bob told me that there was one
more. We're also supposed to have
another queer board gaming nightthat is unfortunately also the
27th, the same night as the Avondale show.
So you got to get go to Coffee Mafia.

26th we will have the Biscuit and Diamond Birthday Bash at

Avondale's and then excited. For.
The July past the crown is on the 19th and I think that's all
of our summer dates. Yeah, there's no vomit vision in
July. Because Pride Month was a lot.
And we said we weren't going to do any shows at all in July.
So take these three shows. 2 1/2.

Shimmy. Yeah, yeah, I need to come up
