Speaker 1 (00:01):
Strawt Media. Did you have a first Disney crush, Meg
from Hercules? Yes?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Are you kidding me? Meg from Hercules? Yeah, And to
be honest, I think she's weird. I think Meg's queer.
She gives me buy energy or something like that. How
(00:31):
are you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I'm so good? How are you? I'm great.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's been a while. It's when was the last time
I chated?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I was looking at the YouTube video. It was two
years ago, probably like and some change.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, okay, I'm not going to age myself here. Uh yeah,
you did something. You have something done with your hair, right.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yes, it was blonde before, it's brown. Now here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Thank you. I'm good at noticing these things now.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I can notice the most nuanced things clearly.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yes, I think yours is longer.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I would say way longer, way longer. Good job, Okay, good.
We're both playing the same exact thing, just back and forth.
And I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
This is how conversations go when you haven't spoken in
two years, you know, like you got to catch up.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, thanks for having me again, yes.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Thank you, thank you for coming on Pride during Pride Month.
Even I feel like this is perfect for us. This
is this is how it was meant to reunite, really exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Only we have one month a year that we can reunite.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
We're getting right. I don't think last time it was June.
But that's besides the point.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No, that was homophobic of us. Yes, you know we're
here to fix.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It exactly exactly. Do you do you have any pride
plans or I know, I know you're busy in your
dressing room.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yes, So I am doing a play right now, and
we are tech and previews. We just started previews and
that's kind of my entire plan. We don't open until
June twenty fourth, and so like every single day pretty
much except for I think, like mondays, I am doing
like rehearsals and then previews. So my pride is honestly
(02:19):
pretty much taken up by this play, which is okay
with me because it's like female and non binary actors
playing men in drag kind of like so I'm like,
it's queer enough, like I am, I'm doing it, you
know what I mean. But hopefully the last week I'll
get to go to like a fun event or something
because I'm in New York. I'm like, I'm in New
(02:40):
York this is where it's at, so maybe I'll go
to the parade and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You're not from New York or you don't live there now.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Right, I'm from New Jersey originally, but I've been living
in LA for like twelve years. But I'm manifesting by
coastal life, which I'm kind of doing right now, I suppose.
But yeah, I'm here for work for the next like
two months and then and then the plan is to
go back to l Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I've never been to New York. Do you think just
on your no, never, I know what you'd think, you'd think.
They keep Yeah, they keep not sending me, which is
also homophobic.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But wait, that's very I mean, I'm sorry to like,
I'm not trying to offend at Pride Instagram, but they
need to send you here, especially for our play. Yeah,
I do need you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I feel like.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
All the queers, all the youngins, all the people, they
need to come see this. I think it's really gonna
hit hit something good for people. But anyway, what we're
gonna ask about New York?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
No, I mean I do. I do need to go
to the play, and we will cover that for sure.
But I was going to ask just based on your
small time there, Like do you think New York is
better than LA?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's different? Mm hmm mm hmmm, it's just different. Actually,
my TikTok right now is on like I think it
like heard me talking about like comparing New York in
LA and now it's like sending me videos comparing New
York in LA, like and I'm pindly like, okay, okay,
but I honestly love New York. I was here actually
(04:14):
for a show for about six months about two years ago,
but I was here during the winter, and now I'm
getting a summer New York. So I don't know after
like in a month or so, because I'm like, okay,
because recently it's been kind of cold, but I'm like,
oh when it's really summer, Like I grew up on
the East Coast, so that warm like nighttime weather is
really like homey to me. And so I think it
(04:39):
just depends how much money do you have, you know.
I think that's a good question, like is New York
at LA better depending on how much money you have
made you have a car or not. I think it's
just like so specific to the person. Do you want
to go.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
To New York. I mean I want to go. I
don't know if I want to live there, I have no,
I don't. I don't know. But I just always hear
the pros and cons, and so I like to hear
both sides from people.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's just like obviously the public transport, that's like the
most obvious one. See, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hate driving. I I walk everywhere. Even though people don't
think LA is walkable, I refuse to drive.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
What area do you live in?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So I live in like mid Wiltshire, right by the grove.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Okay, it's a little bit more walkable over there, I.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Feel right like it is depending like this. This is
like mainly where I've lived this entire time.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So yeah, but I get it because in La, like
in New York, if I walk a mile, I'm like, yeah, okay,
I walked a mile in La. If I have to
walk a mile somewhere, I think it's because in LA,
if you walk a mile, you still haven't gotten anywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Do you know what I mean? In New York you're somewhere,
You've you've switched districts.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That makes sense. Yeah, I don't know. I'll just I'll
have to experience it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We'll see, Yeah you will. Okay, but are you doing
really fun things for Pride?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I went to Weiho Pride, which was fun. It was exhausting,
I will say performing. I only went for Sunday, but
I got to see Rebecca Black Paris Hilton.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, like it was. It was cute.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Did you say Paris Hilton.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yes, Paris Hilton's doing the DC one now too.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What is she doing like performing?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah? She has, she has songs.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I know her songs. Stars are Blind. It's my jam,
It's do you know that song? It is literally my jam?
But I didn't. Is she queen? Can I ask that? No,
she's an appy she.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I think she's an ally. I mean I can't speak
for her.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Of course, of course we have to get Paris on
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yes, I agree. She did just repost us, so I
think she's down.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Oh my god, Okay, Paris. I would love to see
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I just saw her. She was in like this Barbie
Jet wearing her shirt that says gaze for Paris.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, I mean I really, Paris. I feel like has
done wonderfully. Like I feel like this is not the
right term because I'm the term that's coming to mind
is she's aged so well. But I don't mean that
literally like age wise. I just mean like she's just
so like I feel like she's only gotten cooler and
like better, and I love it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
She's just she's owning it. And I don't know how
to like explain it other than that.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, I think there was a whole thing about like
her voice and how like her voice that she puts
on isn't actually her voice, and then people heard her
real voice and they were like, whoa, you're like a
master geniust you've been like playing into the hands of people,
but like only when you want to. It's anyway, I
really I can't wait to see her on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Mm hmm, me too, Me too. But I do want
to segue, just because since it is Pride and we're
all about coming out, I have a little thing that
I like to ask if there's something you would like
to come out as. It does not have to be
like LGBTQ, for example, I will like to come out
(08:10):
as a still active Tumblr user. Oh no, I go
on tumblrs all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Wait, how is it?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I don't know how to I don't know how to
explain that.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It was so amazing. I'm just wondering if it still
has the same magic.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I mean, it's still very active, like there's still there's
still a lot of us. I would say that are
there are doing.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh my god, like lost Tumbler things, the Lost Generation.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I know, I love it's fun. I love to go
there because I hate like some of the other social
medias are such dark holes. Now then it's like a
little escape.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Love Tumblr. I love Tumblr. Oh yeah, okay, that's a
really good one. You might have Just okay, that's that's
said the Bard. Kind of sorry, I want to come
out as that's really good, like kind of what comes
to mind is like a chess player, but week week
(09:10):
that just feels like a little honestly, I want to
come out as a napper, A napper, a sleeper. I
love sleeping, like I feel like in the past couple
of years I've really settled into like I love sleeping.
I love sleeping in like I mean, I'm productive and
(09:30):
stuff like that, but I do love sleeping. I just
feel like so good. And I know it's kind of like,
I don't know, it's anti capitalism, I suppose because it's
like you know sleeping, you're not doing work, but I
I'm gonna come out as like a major sleeper.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah yeah, No, I love that and like napping, especially
because I never I never can nap.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm not a good napper, like as in, like nine
out of time times my naps are horrific. I don't
feel better, I don't feel refreshed. But I try. I try.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
That's what matters. Yeah, are you getting Yeah, I know
you're supposed to get like eight to ten hours or
something at night, Like where are you? Where are you
on that level?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You can't be putting me on blast like this. Honestly,
I feel like for me, definitely like eight every night
kind of, but I don't sleep necessarily well. I get
up a lot to pee and also I really like
vivid dreams oftentimes nightmare. So it's like I'm not so privileged. Okay,
I'm not like sleeping perfectly, but I'm trying. But honestly,
(10:40):
I'd say, like it just depends. It could be it
could be ten hours.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I mean that's that's what they say, is healthy.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm just going to leave it at that.
Let's say like I'm in the healthy range.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, you're coming out as a healthy sleeper and that's
what matters.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And aspiring an aspirationally healthy sleeper and an aspirational napper.
For sure.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's good. That's good. That's what we're carrying into twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I like that. Thank you for asking that now.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Of course, of course I did want to ask. I
was looking at our old interview and I wanted to
(11:28):
just revisit this. Are you still happy that you are
an actor and not a physical therapist?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Wow? Wow, wow, Yes, okay, I'm very happy still with
the decision that I made.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Good.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I still very much admire physical therapy as a as
a job, and I think we've probably talked about this
a little bit in our interview or something like last time.
But you know, I think as I get older too,
I am just like, I don't think there's anything wrong.
In fact, I think it's good to have something as
(12:09):
giving and stable and wonderful as physical therapy as a
career too, while you pursue creative stuff like I don't
regret I truly don't regret my choice not going to school.
But I'm kind of like if I had a pet,
the like if I were PT, i'd be really happy
with that because I think it's a great job. It's
actually been on my mind because we've had a couple
(12:31):
of physical therapists come in like sessions for the theater. Yeah,
and so I've been talking about it and I'm like, wow,
but yeah, almost got me there. But now I am
so happy, especially I'm so happy to be doing this play.
I really am.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
And so yeah, okay, so tell me about the play
and how it kind of like fell into your lap
and what appealed I mean, obviously it sounds very appealing,
but like, what really were you like this is something
I have to do.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So I don't know if you've heard, but the state
of the industry is a little bit wild. I think
everyone's kind of feeling that way. You know. I've been
grateful enough to I'm very grateful to be still auditioning,
like to have auditioned for like some really cool shows
and stuff like that. Like it's exciting to even get
those opportunities. But I know a lot of friends who
(13:20):
have been like struggling to kind of even get anything
that they're interested in. Whatever. Anyway, all else to say
is like it's been a little bit sparse, and then
this is a few months ago and Trophy Boys came
in and it was a play and it's like a
New York local higher and I kind of was like,
I'm totally down for that, but I, you know, I
just want to make sure it's worth it. I read
it and it was just such a great script, like
and I think it's one of those scripts where oftentimes
(13:43):
when you're reading the script, you're like, oh, this is
like good, okay, good, but then they just don't land
it and then you get to the end and you're like,
oh oh, like because of the way you landed it, it
almost like makes everything a wash. But this one it
felt like, oh, oh okay, And so I was like,
so I actually auditioned for this other role. It's only
four characters. I auditioned for this one. And he's kind
(14:07):
of like a soft like lover boil like yeah, like
I love women, like whenever, whatever, And I was very excited.
Two weeks ago by I don't hear anything. I'm actually
in oh no, no, no, what happened. Yeah, two weeks ago,
I don't hear anything. And then I go back home
for Chinese New Year. This is like about two weeks later,
I land off the plane in New York. I'm from
(14:29):
the Jersey area, and I get a text from my
team and they're like, they want to they want to
call you back for another So I was like, oh, okay.
And then my girlfriend who was with me, was like,
go in person. You should go in person for the
call back since you're in New York, like in the area.
And I was like, I really don't want you because
I was just gonna self tape, but she convinced me too.
I went in person. It was really wonderful, like it's
(14:50):
such a great team. And then that night we got
the call. And so what appealed me is this really
well written. It's pretty much about these four prep school
I have at school boys who are on a debate
team and they entered the room and they find out
that they have to debate that feminism has failed women,
(15:11):
and so it starts kind of there and they're just
like what pretty much there, but then it kind of
evolves and I don't want to give spoilers, but it's
like it's like a very quick play, like an hour,
but it's so packed and so good and it's just
so so well written. The playwright is actually acting in
it as well. And she's she's great. So I think
it was just like really fun and intellectual in a
(15:35):
good way and then also wrapped up nicely. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, I'm sad that you're like nose books because I
was gonna be like, can you can you act out
a piece for us?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But oh my gosh, no, you guys are just kid
see it. Actually, So our director is Donnie Tamour, who
won a Tony last year for The Outsiders, which also
one Best Musical. Yeah, she also directed John Procter as
The Villain, which Sadie Sink is in right now. I
mean they're up for I think another Tony. Like, so
(16:08):
Donnie's like amazing, Like he's just such a good group,
you know, And so I just feel very grateful. Yeah,
I'm sorry, even though we're friends, I just can't ruin it.
I can't spoil it. But we got to get the
queers out here, like we gotta get the not just
the queers, the allies everyone, Like. I think it really
speaks to like and it's not I wouldn't call it like,
(16:29):
it's not like a man hating show, Like we're not
like making fun of the boys or anything. Like it's
very comments on everything in such a delicate and like
intelligent way, but also it's very funny. So tell Pride
they gotta follow you out.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I well, I mean, now, yeah, I said, this video
is going directly to my boss.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I'm like, listen, yes, CEO of Pride as a concept.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah exactly. Yeah, like don't worry, like Terry said, so
done deal exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Say do you know who they are?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I wanted to go into Disney a little just because
we did get to talk Disney last time for Zombies,
which was huge because it was one of like I think,
the first non binary characters they've introduced.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
It was the first live action non binary live action
or that's what Yeah, they told me.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Right, that's what we marketed it as.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Exactly, That's what entirely what we said, so we are
standing by that. No, but I do think it's the
first live action.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I mean, it was still huge and it was still
a big deal. We talked about your doll and how
they had they them pronouns yes, which we love. We
love to see. I still see aspens like costume whenever
I'm you know, in spirit Halloween, and I get excited
although it won't fit me usually, but.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Oh well, you know, let me try to make calls
the Disney Okay for like adult, because it's usually for kids.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
You call Disney's CEO Al Combine.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Exactly. We're back to it. We're doing the exact thing, perfect.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah. Did you have a first Disney crush?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Oh man, Meg, Meg from Hercules?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yes, yeah, so basic.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I just can't like, are you kidding me? Meg from Hercules? Yeah?
And to be honest, I think she's queer. I think
Meg's queer. I mean she was literally obsessed with Hercules. Oh,
who is like a very stereotypical man. But she gives
me buy energy or something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I agree. Yeah. I feel like we just didn't get
to see her interact with anyone else enough to like really.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
No, right exactly, she never had the chance.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It was like the first guy was nice to her.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
She was like, oh she never got to go to
the abbey or you know, a high Tops or something
like that. And me a queer I'm trying to think
else kind of Ashley Tisdale Ooh yeah, yeah, how about you.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I was just talking about my like by awakening of
Disney characters the other day and I just threw out,
like she go and Milo from Atlantis.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I knew it, Yes, of course, I know.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I feel like I read as that like you know it.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I didn't mean of course like you. I just mean
like that is one that people mentioned and she is
so hot, like and she's dangerous, like you know, yeah,
oh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I know I'm trying to think of like other ones,
but those are just always my like immediate yeses, so
we go.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It's like she goes I never I didn't watch Chimpossible
too much, but she goes like the alar like ego
or something of Mpossible or no, like an evil sister
or just like another character that looks almost like Kimpossible
but is not.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, I don't know if it's supposed to be like
an evil exact replica. I mean she's just like the
sidekick of the evil villain.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Wait what Okay, I didn't follow Kim Possible, so I
think I don't know. I just on Tumblr. I remember
seeing pictures and I was like, yeah, she's hot. She's
in the green soup right like green and black.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so good. They both only have
like adjusted upper lips, so I feel.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Like that's just and that's all they need. Quite frankly,
and that's all they need and they still got us right.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
No, truly, literally don't.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Get don't give them a lower lip because it'd be unstoppable,
way too much power exact. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's
really good you think of that. I'm gonna ask, actually,
I'm gonna ask the Trophy Voice later who their Disney
crush was.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Please do please send us, send us the tape so
we can get in. I'd like to know. I was
gonna ask if you had a favor a favorite Disney
(21:00):
past member that you've worked with, But then I didn't
know if that was too scary.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
That is a terrifying question, I suppose, but it's not
just terrifying question for Disney's at any cast member, you know,
in honor of pride and kindness and plurer, peace, love, unity, respect.
I'm not gonna name me. Yeah, but I've I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I'm sorry, I am I'm I have a reputation to keep.
But you know, I've been really grateful to work with,
really want genuinely actually had been really grateful to work
with very wonderful people like I feel like it you
hear actual horror stories and.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I'm just like, I haven't had that, so like, I,
you know, I feel love. I'm very excited to work
with more Disney past eventually.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, good try, good try. You almost got me because you, yeah,
you have to ask. I respect it.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I mean I love seeing like the crossovers because I
interviewed Julia Lester for a high school musical course and
then you did prom dates. Yeah, and then I just
all all of it. The crossover is so funny.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I love it. And Julia did a play that's in
this that was in this same building and one of Tony. Right,
she was nominated for Tony. I think she wanted. She
should have wanted. I don't know. It's just like a
couple of years ago because she was nominated when we
were filming prom dates.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, I remember congratulating for the nomination, but I if
winter in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
So she did a she did a play called All
Nighter that she just finished and it was in the
same building. Yeah, so that was really cool. She's such
a star. So yeah, I loved working with her. We
didn't get to work on Disney together. Well, Disney owns Hulu's.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Technically, Yeah, it's all it's all there, it's.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
All really, everyone's everyone.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, yeah, but you said you wanted to work for
Disney again, you have like a dream project over there.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I mean, you know, Disney truly owns everything, so I
think so many things fall under Disney. But I guess
like a classic Disney thing. Honestly, I would love to
do a voice anime, like like a proper Disney and
I made a thing I'm really getting interested, Like I'm
interested in voiceover lately. I think it's really fun and stuff.
Aside from that, you know, I think I'm okay with,
(23:29):
if you will, for lack of better terms, I suppose
like expanding beyond Zombies and stuff like that, Like I
love that franchise, in that project, in the music, and
I'm so excited for Zombies four, which everyone is gonna
love and everything, and I'm but I'm like okay with
expanding into maybe the more adult side of Disney, obviously,
and which is ironic because I guess a lot of
(23:50):
their animation is more kid. But I just think that's
so fun, Like, you know, it'd be fun to have
that in my legacy, like a Disney cool you know,
like animated project that's so fun. So that's why I'm
manifesting for pride.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
What is the gayest thing you've done in New York?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's the gayest thing I've done New York, the gayest
thing I've done.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Do I have an answer?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
No? But well no, I mean, but you haven't been
to New York, so you're off the hook. Well, what's
the gayest thing you've done in La?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I see Paris Hilton performance.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
You're so right, You're so right, the gayest thing I've
done in Europe? For some reason, like what's coming to
your head is like paying like so much money to
sublet this letorical box of an apartment with no kitchen
(24:49):
pretty much, no bathroom door pretty much. It was like
a barn door so that I could get a nice
romantic spot for me and my girlfriend, which was like
a couple of years ago. But didn't you and have
like curtains. It was not like the romantic experience we thought.
But I feel like the energy is there, like the
U haul energy almost is there where it's like we're
just gonna be on top of each other for like,
(25:10):
you know, however many months. And yeah, so I feel
like I probably could have thought of something better. But
that's what's coming up right now.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
No, that's that's that seems really cute, honestly.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
And the other gayest thing is I honestly think this play.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, that's true, that's true, but like I guess we
could say that hasn't happened yet. I mean, it's you're
about to so this will be the gayest thing you've
done in New York, right, You're right, we're setting it
up for it though.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
You girlfriend's gonna be bumped down in rank. Yeah. I'm
hoping to do more gay things. I would really like to.
I'll keep you posted. I hope the next time we talk,
I have a whole list.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Okay, good, you know? Yeah, yeah, I mean I love
seeing what roles you take on, and like I know,
it can be hard with finding like good roles in Hollywood.
I mean, the world is weird, and we're wanting to
make sure that you know, the representation is still there,
but you are bringing it, so that's what matters.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah. Yes, I feel very very grateful to be doing this,
for sure, especially in a time when I think things
are really really quiet and a lot of people are
feeling I think, you know, pretty down, which I get.
I'm still I am there with them too, you.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Know, anything else any other message you have for the
gays for Pride.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Month, happy Pride. And also I saw this TikTok that
was like, don't be saying happy pride to me, because
what's happy about it. I'm not hooking up with any
girl like something like that. It was like I'm not
getting any It was like, it's disappointing pride. It is
disappointing at all the comments. You know how TikTok comments are.
It is like sad pride and like whatever yours is. Yeah,
(26:52):
maybe it's like not happy pride, but pride.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
We just go up to people and we're like pride, pride, pride, and.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Then move on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay pride. Disappointing pride.
Mm let down pride or that right, we'll figure.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I feel like that's just so sad, but that's the point,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, I'm just giving people space to not have to
feel like yeah, because once again, pride is all the time,
and so maybe their happy pride is it's going to
be next month and that's fine too.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You're right, pridees all the time. Will you just be
like hey pride, yeah exactly, like kind of like high Barbie.
It's just like high Pride.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, hey Pride, like an Barbie girl by Aqua or whatever,
where it's like, hey can hey Barbie, Hey Pride, hey Pride. Yeah,
I like that.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Right. Where can they find you?
Speaker 2 (27:44):

MCC Theater from now through July twenty seven, because we
just got extended two weeks by popular demands. Thank you

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Talk to your CEP, talk to the CEO.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Well, well, thank you so much for joining me. I
can't wait for this to go out.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
This was so fun, happy and all feelings pride and
it's so good to see you and yeah, I'll see
you so
Strawt Media. Did you have a first Disney crush, Meg
from Hercules? Yes?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Are you kidding me? Meg from Hercules? Yeah, And to
be honest, I think she's weird. I think Meg's queer.
She gives me buy energy or something like that. How
(00:31):
are you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I'm so good? How are you? I'm great.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's been a while. It's when was the last time
I chated?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I was looking at the YouTube video. It was two
years ago, probably like and some change.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, okay, I'm not going to age myself here. Uh yeah,
you did something. You have something done with your hair, right.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yes, it was blonde before, it's brown. Now here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Thank you. I'm good at noticing these things now.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I can notice the most nuanced things clearly.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yes, I think yours is longer.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I would say way longer, way longer. Good job, Okay, good.
We're both playing the same exact thing, just back and forth.
And I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
This is how conversations go when you haven't spoken in
two years, you know, like you got to catch up.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, thanks for having me again, yes.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Thank you, thank you for coming on Pride during Pride Month.
Even I feel like this is perfect for us. This
is this is how it was meant to reunite, really exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Only we have one month a year that we can reunite.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
We're getting right. I don't think last time it was June.
But that's besides the point.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No, that was homophobic of us. Yes, you know we're
here to fix.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It exactly exactly. Do you do you have any pride
plans or I know, I know you're busy in your
dressing room.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yes, So I am doing a play right now, and
we are tech and previews. We just started previews and
that's kind of my entire plan. We don't open until
June twenty fourth, and so like every single day pretty
much except for I think, like mondays, I am doing
like rehearsals and then previews. So my pride is honestly
(02:19):
pretty much taken up by this play, which is okay
with me because it's like female and non binary actors
playing men in drag kind of like so I'm like,
it's queer enough, like I am, I'm doing it, you
know what I mean. But hopefully the last week I'll
get to go to like a fun event or something
because I'm in New York. I'm like, I'm in New
(02:40):
York this is where it's at, so maybe I'll go
to the parade and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You're not from New York or you don't live there now.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Right, I'm from New Jersey originally, but I've been living
in LA for like twelve years. But I'm manifesting by
coastal life, which I'm kind of doing right now, I suppose.
But yeah, I'm here for work for the next like
two months and then and then the plan is to
go back to l Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I've never been to New York. Do you think just
on your no, never, I know what you'd think, you'd think.
They keep Yeah, they keep not sending me, which is
also homophobic.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But wait, that's very I mean, I'm sorry to like,
I'm not trying to offend at Pride Instagram, but they
need to send you here, especially for our play. Yeah,
I do need you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I feel like.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
All the queers, all the youngins, all the people, they
need to come see this. I think it's really gonna
hit hit something good for people. But anyway, what we're
gonna ask about New York?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
No, I mean I do. I do need to go
to the play, and we will cover that for sure.
But I was going to ask just based on your
small time there, Like do you think New York is
better than LA?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's different? Mm hmm mm hmmm, it's just different. Actually,
my TikTok right now is on like I think it
like heard me talking about like comparing New York in
LA and now it's like sending me videos comparing New
York in LA, like and I'm pindly like, okay, okay,
but I honestly love New York. I was here actually
(04:14):
for a show for about six months about two years ago,
but I was here during the winter, and now I'm
getting a summer New York. So I don't know after
like in a month or so, because I'm like, okay,
because recently it's been kind of cold, but I'm like,
oh when it's really summer, Like I grew up on
the East Coast, so that warm like nighttime weather is
really like homey to me. And so I think it
(04:39):
just depends how much money do you have, you know.
I think that's a good question, like is New York
at LA better depending on how much money you have
made you have a car or not. I think it's
just like so specific to the person. Do you want
to go.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
To New York. I mean I want to go. I
don't know if I want to live there, I have no,
I don't. I don't know. But I just always hear
the pros and cons, and so I like to hear
both sides from people.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's just like obviously the public transport, that's like the
most obvious one. See, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hate driving. I I walk everywhere. Even though people don't
think LA is walkable, I refuse to drive.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
What area do you live in?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So I live in like mid Wiltshire, right by the grove.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Okay, it's a little bit more walkable over there, I.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Feel right like it is depending like this. This is
like mainly where I've lived this entire time.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So yeah, but I get it because in La, like
in New York, if I walk a mile, I'm like, yeah, okay,
I walked a mile in La. If I have to
walk a mile somewhere, I think it's because in LA,
if you walk a mile, you still haven't gotten anywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Do you know what I mean? In New York you're somewhere,
You've you've switched districts.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That makes sense. Yeah, I don't know. I'll just I'll
have to experience it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We'll see, Yeah you will. Okay, but are you doing
really fun things for Pride?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I went to Weiho Pride, which was fun. It was exhausting,
I will say performing. I only went for Sunday, but
I got to see Rebecca Black Paris Hilton.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, like it was. It was cute.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Did you say Paris Hilton.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yes, Paris Hilton's doing the DC one now too.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What is she doing like performing?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah? She has, she has songs.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
I know her songs. Stars are Blind. It's my jam,
It's do you know that song? It is literally my jam?
But I didn't. Is she queen? Can I ask that? No,
she's an appy she.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I think she's an ally. I mean I can't speak
for her.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Of course, of course we have to get Paris on
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yes, I agree. She did just repost us, so I
think she's down.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Oh my god, Okay, Paris. I would love to see
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I just saw her. She was in like this Barbie
Jet wearing her shirt that says gaze for Paris.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, I mean I really, Paris. I feel like has
done wonderfully. Like I feel like this is not the
right term because I'm the term that's coming to mind
is she's aged so well. But I don't mean that
literally like age wise. I just mean like she's just
so like I feel like she's only gotten cooler and
like better, and I love it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
She's just she's owning it. And I don't know how
to like explain it other than that.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, I think there was a whole thing about like
her voice and how like her voice that she puts
on isn't actually her voice, and then people heard her
real voice and they were like, whoa, you're like a
master geniust you've been like playing into the hands of people,
but like only when you want to. It's anyway, I
really I can't wait to see her on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Mm hmm, me too, Me too. But I do want
to segue, just because since it is Pride and we're
all about coming out, I have a little thing that
I like to ask if there's something you would like
to come out as. It does not have to be
like LGBTQ, for example, I will like to come out
(08:10):
as a still active Tumblr user. Oh no, I go
on tumblrs all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Wait, how is it?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I don't know how to I don't know how to
explain that.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It was so amazing. I'm just wondering if it still
has the same magic.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I mean, it's still very active, like there's still there's
still a lot of us. I would say that are
there are doing.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh my god, like lost Tumbler things, the Lost Generation.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I know, I love it's fun. I love to go
there because I hate like some of the other social
medias are such dark holes. Now then it's like a
little escape.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Love Tumblr. I love Tumblr. Oh yeah, okay, that's a
really good one. You might have Just okay, that's that's
said the Bard. Kind of sorry, I want to come
out as that's really good, like kind of what comes
to mind is like a chess player, but week week
(09:10):
that just feels like a little honestly, I want to
come out as a napper, A napper, a sleeper. I
love sleeping, like I feel like in the past couple
of years I've really settled into like I love sleeping.
I love sleeping in like I mean, I'm productive and
(09:30):
stuff like that, but I do love sleeping. I just
feel like so good. And I know it's kind of like,
I don't know, it's anti capitalism, I suppose because it's
like you know sleeping, you're not doing work, but I
I'm gonna come out as like a major sleeper.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah yeah, No, I love that and like napping, especially
because I never I never can nap.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm not a good napper, like as in, like nine
out of time times my naps are horrific. I don't
feel better, I don't feel refreshed. But I try. I try.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
That's what matters. Yeah, are you getting Yeah, I know
you're supposed to get like eight to ten hours or
something at night, Like where are you? Where are you
on that level?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You can't be putting me on blast like this. Honestly,
I feel like for me, definitely like eight every night
kind of, but I don't sleep necessarily well. I get
up a lot to pee and also I really like
vivid dreams oftentimes nightmare. So it's like I'm not so privileged. Okay,
I'm not like sleeping perfectly, but I'm trying. But honestly,
(10:40):
I'd say, like it just depends. It could be it
could be ten hours.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I mean that's that's what they say, is healthy.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm just going to leave it at that.
Let's say like I'm in the healthy range.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, you're coming out as a healthy sleeper and that's
what matters.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And aspiring an aspirationally healthy sleeper and an aspirational napper.
For sure.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's good. That's good. That's what we're carrying into twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I like that. Thank you for asking that now.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Of course, of course I did want to ask. I
was looking at our old interview and I wanted to
(11:28):
just revisit this. Are you still happy that you are
an actor and not a physical therapist?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Wow? Wow, wow, Yes, okay, I'm very happy still with
the decision that I made.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Good.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I still very much admire physical therapy as a as
a job, and I think we've probably talked about this
a little bit in our interview or something like last time.
But you know, I think as I get older too,
I am just like, I don't think there's anything wrong.
In fact, I think it's good to have something as
(12:09):
giving and stable and wonderful as physical therapy as a
career too, while you pursue creative stuff like I don't
regret I truly don't regret my choice not going to school.
But I'm kind of like if I had a pet,
the like if I were PT, i'd be really happy
with that because I think it's a great job. It's
actually been on my mind because we've had a couple
(12:31):
of physical therapists come in like sessions for the theater. Yeah,
and so I've been talking about it and I'm like, wow,
but yeah, almost got me there. But now I am
so happy, especially I'm so happy to be doing this play.
I really am.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
And so yeah, okay, so tell me about the play
and how it kind of like fell into your lap
and what appealed I mean, obviously it sounds very appealing,
but like, what really were you like this is something
I have to do.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So I don't know if you've heard, but the state
of the industry is a little bit wild. I think
everyone's kind of feeling that way. You know. I've been
grateful enough to I'm very grateful to be still auditioning,
like to have auditioned for like some really cool shows
and stuff like that. Like it's exciting to even get
those opportunities. But I know a lot of friends who
(13:20):
have been like struggling to kind of even get anything
that they're interested in. Whatever. Anyway, all else to say
is like it's been a little bit sparse, and then
this is a few months ago and Trophy Boys came
in and it was a play and it's like a
New York local higher and I kind of was like,
I'm totally down for that, but I, you know, I
just want to make sure it's worth it. I read
it and it was just such a great script, like
and I think it's one of those scripts where oftentimes
(13:43):
when you're reading the script, you're like, oh, this is
like good, okay, good, but then they just don't land
it and then you get to the end and you're like,
oh oh, like because of the way you landed it, it
almost like makes everything a wash. But this one it
felt like, oh, oh okay, And so I was like,
so I actually auditioned for this other role. It's only
four characters. I auditioned for this one. And he's kind
(14:07):
of like a soft like lover boil like yeah, like
I love women, like whenever, whatever, And I was very excited.
Two weeks ago by I don't hear anything. I'm actually
in oh no, no, no, what happened. Yeah, two weeks ago,
I don't hear anything. And then I go back home
for Chinese New Year. This is like about two weeks later,
I land off the plane in New York. I'm from
(14:29):
the Jersey area, and I get a text from my
team and they're like, they want to they want to
call you back for another So I was like, oh, okay.
And then my girlfriend who was with me, was like,
go in person. You should go in person for the
call back since you're in New York, like in the area.
And I was like, I really don't want you because
I was just gonna self tape, but she convinced me too.
I went in person. It was really wonderful, like it's
(14:50):
such a great team. And then that night we got
the call. And so what appealed me is this really
well written. It's pretty much about these four prep school
I have at school boys who are on a debate
team and they entered the room and they find out
that they have to debate that feminism has failed women,
(15:11):
and so it starts kind of there and they're just
like what pretty much there, but then it kind of
evolves and I don't want to give spoilers, but it's
like it's like a very quick play, like an hour,
but it's so packed and so good and it's just
so so well written. The playwright is actually acting in
it as well. And she's she's great. So I think
it was just like really fun and intellectual in a
(15:35):
good way and then also wrapped up nicely. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, I'm sad that you're like nose books because I
was gonna be like, can you can you act out
a piece for us?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But oh my gosh, no, you guys are just kid
see it. Actually, So our director is Donnie Tamour, who
won a Tony last year for The Outsiders, which also
one Best Musical. Yeah, she also directed John Procter as
The Villain, which Sadie Sink is in right now. I
mean they're up for I think another Tony. Like, so
(16:08):
Donnie's like amazing, Like he's just such a good group,
you know, And so I just feel very grateful. Yeah,
I'm sorry, even though we're friends, I just can't ruin it.
I can't spoil it. But we got to get the
queers out here, like we gotta get the not just
the queers, the allies everyone, Like. I think it really
speaks to like and it's not I wouldn't call it like,
(16:29):
it's not like a man hating show, Like we're not
like making fun of the boys or anything. Like it's
very comments on everything in such a delicate and like
intelligent way, but also it's very funny. So tell Pride
they gotta follow you out.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I well, I mean, now, yeah, I said, this video
is going directly to my boss.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I'm like, listen, yes, CEO of Pride as a concept.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah exactly. Yeah, like don't worry, like Terry said, so
done deal exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Say do you know who they are?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I wanted to go into Disney a little just because
we did get to talk Disney last time for Zombies,
which was huge because it was one of like I think,
the first non binary characters they've introduced.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
It was the first live action non binary live action
or that's what Yeah, they told me.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Right, that's what we marketed it as.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Exactly, That's what entirely what we said, so we are
standing by that. No, but I do think it's the
first live action.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I mean, it was still huge and it was still
a big deal. We talked about your doll and how
they had they them pronouns yes, which we love. We
love to see. I still see aspens like costume whenever
I'm you know, in spirit Halloween, and I get excited
although it won't fit me usually, but.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Oh well, you know, let me try to make calls
the Disney Okay for like adult, because it's usually for kids.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
You call Disney's CEO Al Combine.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Exactly. We're back to it. We're doing the exact thing, perfect.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah. Did you have a first Disney crush?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Oh man, Meg, Meg from Hercules?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yes, yeah, so basic.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I just can't like, are you kidding me? Meg from Hercules? Yeah?
And to be honest, I think she's queer. I think
Meg's queer. I mean she was literally obsessed with Hercules. Oh,
who is like a very stereotypical man. But she gives
me buy energy or something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I agree. Yeah. I feel like we just didn't get
to see her interact with anyone else enough to like really.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
No, right exactly, she never had the chance.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It was like the first guy was nice to her.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
She was like, oh she never got to go to
the abbey or you know, a high Tops or something
like that. And me a queer I'm trying to think
else kind of Ashley Tisdale Ooh yeah, yeah, how about you.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I was just talking about my like by awakening of
Disney characters the other day and I just threw out,
like she go and Milo from Atlantis.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I knew it, Yes, of course, I know.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I feel like I read as that like you know it.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I didn't mean of course like you. I just mean
like that is one that people mentioned and she is
so hot, like and she's dangerous, like you know, yeah,
oh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I know I'm trying to think of like other ones,
but those are just always my like immediate yeses, so
we go.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It's like she goes I never I didn't watch Chimpossible
too much, but she goes like the alar like ego
or something of Mpossible or no, like an evil sister
or just like another character that looks almost like Kimpossible
but is not.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, I don't know if it's supposed to be like
an evil exact replica. I mean she's just like the
sidekick of the evil villain.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Wait what Okay, I didn't follow Kim Possible, so I
think I don't know. I just on Tumblr. I remember
seeing pictures and I was like, yeah, she's hot. She's
in the green soup right like green and black.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so good. They both only have
like adjusted upper lips, so I feel.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Like that's just and that's all they need. Quite frankly,
and that's all they need and they still got us right.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
No, truly, literally don't.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Get don't give them a lower lip because it'd be unstoppable,
way too much power exact. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's
really good you think of that. I'm gonna ask, actually,
I'm gonna ask the Trophy Voice later who their Disney
crush was.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Please do please send us, send us the tape so
we can get in. I'd like to know. I was
gonna ask if you had a favor a favorite Disney
(21:00):
past member that you've worked with, But then I didn't
know if that was too scary.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
That is a terrifying question, I suppose, but it's not
just terrifying question for Disney's at any cast member, you know,
in honor of pride and kindness and plurer, peace, love, unity, respect.
I'm not gonna name me. Yeah, but I've I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I'm sorry, I am I'm I have a reputation to keep.
But you know, I've been really grateful to work with,
really want genuinely actually had been really grateful to work
with very wonderful people like I feel like it you
hear actual horror stories and.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I'm just like, I haven't had that, so like, I,
you know, I feel love. I'm very excited to work
with more Disney past eventually.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, good try, good try. You almost got me because you, yeah,
you have to ask. I respect it.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I mean I love seeing like the crossovers because I
interviewed Julia Lester for a high school musical course and
then you did prom dates. Yeah, and then I just
all all of it. The crossover is so funny.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I love it. And Julia did a play that's in
this that was in this same building and one of Tony. Right,
she was nominated for Tony. I think she wanted. She
should have wanted. I don't know. It's just like a
couple of years ago because she was nominated when we
were filming prom dates.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, I remember congratulating for the nomination, but I if
winter in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
So she did a she did a play called All
Nighter that she just finished and it was in the
same building. Yeah, so that was really cool. She's such
a star. So yeah, I loved working with her. We
didn't get to work on Disney together. Well, Disney owns Hulu's.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Technically, Yeah, it's all it's all there, it's.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
All really, everyone's everyone.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, yeah, but you said you wanted to work for
Disney again, you have like a dream project over there.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I mean, you know, Disney truly owns everything, so I
think so many things fall under Disney. But I guess
like a classic Disney thing. Honestly, I would love to
do a voice anime, like like a proper Disney and
I made a thing I'm really getting interested, Like I'm
interested in voiceover lately. I think it's really fun and stuff.
Aside from that, you know, I think I'm okay with,
(23:29):
if you will, for lack of better terms, I suppose
like expanding beyond Zombies and stuff like that, Like I
love that franchise, in that project, in the music, and
I'm so excited for Zombies four, which everyone is gonna
love and everything, and I'm but I'm like okay with
expanding into maybe the more adult side of Disney, obviously,
and which is ironic because I guess a lot of
(23:50):
their animation is more kid. But I just think that's
so fun, Like, you know, it'd be fun to have
that in my legacy, like a Disney cool you know,
like animated project that's so fun. So that's why I'm
manifesting for pride.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
What is the gayest thing you've done in New York?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's the gayest thing I've done New York, the gayest
thing I've done.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Do I have an answer?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
No? But well no, I mean, but you haven't been
to New York, so you're off the hook. Well, what's
the gayest thing you've done in La?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I see Paris Hilton performance.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
You're so right, You're so right, the gayest thing I've
done in Europe? For some reason, like what's coming to
your head is like paying like so much money to
sublet this letorical box of an apartment with no kitchen
(24:49):
pretty much, no bathroom door pretty much. It was like
a barn door so that I could get a nice
romantic spot for me and my girlfriend, which was like
a couple of years ago. But didn't you and have
like curtains. It was not like the romantic experience we thought.
But I feel like the energy is there, like the
U haul energy almost is there where it's like we're
just gonna be on top of each other for like,
(25:10):
you know, however many months. And yeah, so I feel
like I probably could have thought of something better. But
that's what's coming up right now.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
No, that's that's that seems really cute, honestly.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
And the other gayest thing is I honestly think this play.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, that's true, that's true, but like I guess we
could say that hasn't happened yet. I mean, it's you're
about to so this will be the gayest thing you've
done in New York, right, You're right, we're setting it
up for it though.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
You girlfriend's gonna be bumped down in rank. Yeah. I'm
hoping to do more gay things. I would really like to.
I'll keep you posted. I hope the next time we talk,
I have a whole list.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Okay, good, you know? Yeah, yeah, I mean I love
seeing what roles you take on, and like I know,
it can be hard with finding like good roles in Hollywood.
I mean, the world is weird, and we're wanting to
make sure that you know, the representation is still there,
but you are bringing it, so that's what matters.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah. Yes, I feel very very grateful to be doing this,
for sure, especially in a time when I think things
are really really quiet and a lot of people are
feeling I think, you know, pretty down, which I get.
I'm still I am there with them too, you.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Know, anything else any other message you have for the
gays for Pride.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Month, happy Pride. And also I saw this TikTok that
was like, don't be saying happy pride to me, because
what's happy about it. I'm not hooking up with any
girl like something like that. It was like I'm not
getting any It was like, it's disappointing pride. It is
disappointing at all the comments. You know how TikTok comments are.
It is like sad pride and like whatever yours is. Yeah,
(26:52):
maybe it's like not happy pride, but pride.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
We just go up to people and we're like pride, pride, pride, and.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Then move on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay pride. Disappointing pride.
Mm let down pride or that right, we'll figure.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I feel like that's just so sad, but that's the point,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, I'm just giving people space to not have to
feel like yeah, because once again, pride is all the time,
and so maybe their happy pride is it's going to
be next month and that's fine too.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You're right, pridees all the time. Will you just be
like hey pride, yeah exactly, like kind of like high Barbie.
It's just like high Pride.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
