Whoo whoo we made it through pride okay right that's
where i was gonna start let's be real there like june is

they go through hyperspace and star wars i feel like that's where we are the second
june 1st hits yeah you know grateful grateful
for it being able to work and experience it
(01:07):
but realistically it's a
lot it is a lot i didn't do the marathon
this year i only did well still i i call
it not doing the marathon but like i had to work at the gay 90s and i also had
to do like the parade float we ain't gonna talk about that flow but uh what
do you mean talk about the flow i love my sisters honey and i absolutely love
(01:31):
working at the gay 90s the legendary ladies of the fam but you know i don't
want to talk about the flow,
let's say let's just say it looked like you brought a few of your plants and.
Said it because you got a lot of plants in here aaron so i mean this is the float the plants,
oh i mean we were gone so i didn't get to see it but i just i've heard things
it was funny missing let me tell you something where's the pictures good that's
(01:54):
why you don't see i get i love i love i told you i love them so much but that
was like that was quite a float And I got the privilege of being on, I had the privilege,
I'm high as hell, y'all, of being a part of the film show while Nina was there.
And no shade to Nina, no matter what people say about her, but baby, she was on a theme.
(02:14):
We did a Disney theme. You remember we did when the marriage,
we did the marriage thing when marriage licenses got passed through the government and everything.
We did that. And we did Disney where we had like expensive, like Disney outfits on.
Everybody was on point except for one person.
Her ponytail was falling apart I don't want to say her name on my shower but
(02:38):
she know who she is anyway it was wonderful so like to do a float after all
these years because a bitch is paranoid about floats like I legit.
Don't like doing floats especially yeah girl
we got the gods of protests we got like you
know no shade to anything we got black lives matter we also have
a maga maga I'm not trying to duck no bullets
(02:59):
or bottles from nobody so I don't want to float no that's real
so this year was special to me but the
flow was not so special it was fun
seeing the people and waving and having people like Sasha and I'm like I like
that that was nice but yeah I'm gonna help with the flow next year I just say
that everything else was fun though I love the pride shows I heard all of you
(03:22):
did a fantastic job those of you performed I I really this was a really good
pride it was it was really really nice pride like.
Literally like the second i stepped off of that stage at saloon
after the pose show like i hit my foot hit the ground and i just started crying
not because i was like upset but literally we worked from basically monday to
sunday yeah you know so we don't really a lot of times we don't have time to
(03:46):
enjoy what pride is because we are pride for a lot of people i was wasted exactly but this part,
missing this pride i felt like i was able to enjoy it and like you said sunday i was gone.
Baby, them mushrooms had took me somewhere.
I missed out on those. This, for me... Oh, but you were having fun.
(04:07):
What you mean by that? On Sunday. What do you mean? It was a liquid encouragement.
Do you remember seeing us?
I know. I remember Jasmine was trained. I was like, what, girl?
I said, oh, hey, Brendan, honey. Okay.
But no, yeah, I remember I remember it was weird for sure, but y'all was just talking about that.
(04:30):
For me this year, before, I have worked at a lot of Pride events,
and I have performed at a lot of Pride events.
This is my first year working and performing at a bunch of different Pride events.
It's a lot. It was a lot. I told you, it's a lot of work. I was drained, but I did it.
You made good current. And you feel good. But when that Monday hits and I'm able to sleep in.
(04:51):
Oh, my God, girl. Don't touch me. Don't call me. Don't do nothing.
It's one of the most beautiful feelings in the world. Because when I woke up, when I wanted to wake up,
And I didn't have to put makeup on my face. It felt good. Yeah.
I have to admit, it took me a while to like recover.
I should have like took that brunch weekend the next weekend off too, so that I can chill out.
A bitch is getting old, honey. I can tell. Feel it now.
(05:13):
It's crazy. Too many shows. You said sleep in. I literally woke up on Tuesday.
Like what happened to Monday? I know, right?
Well, I played, I stayed up to play video games for a little while.
So I don't even remember.
I don't, I don't remember Monday at all. No, it was a blip.
It was a blip, honey. we didn't nobody knows what happened monday after
pride monday's recovery day baby however you recover
is your thing right i will say the one so we were
(05:36):
out of town for most of it but on sunday when we came
like the saloon when we first walked
in it like me and brendan looked at each other we're like this
is a mini edc like the way that it
was lit it was that happened it was
nice that's what i felt like like it was
it felt like it was like the arcade set up
(05:57):
and everything that's the first thing you watch saloon and it
was different sections great job yeah bravo without putting
up walls like they created different spaces saloon
was thickening their float was nice it was amazing like it was the float was
all slay well slay mantha and she enlisted help from other folks but she was
the it was nine head behind that i like the float this year because it was nice
it was double it was it was like a double vector yeah it was amazing more of
(06:20):
a pride float rather Rather than just a flatbed semi-truck. With plants on it.
I thought we weren't going to talk about it.
Girl, let me, girl. Y'all better stop messing with me. Y'all were supposed to
be the people that tow the cars. We were supposed to be straight out the jungle,
honey. That's what it was supposed to be.
Speaking of out of the jungle, Zahara was on the float for Zahara. Yes, she was. Really?
(06:43):
Yeah. Yeah. Really? Yes, she was.
Did she wear the pink? No, she wore pink. Nina wore the yellow.
Yeah. They all had similar outfits. Oh, I did see. They looked fabulous.
Oh, yes. They were like the old school dad look on the face.
We talking about Nina DeAngelo. She will always get praise from me for being
well organized and putting together great things. I'm sorry.
(07:04):
Yeah all the queens have come up underneath and we're
all the same way when it comes to structure and
how we do things and that i will always give her that so i know the
roxy girls will go on a little grand it was their flow
was also fabulous by the way it's like a casino with the
cards and everything amazing yeah it was great you know
being a powerful foot in that flow oh yeah it
(07:26):
was great honey and you know me i'm a i'm a i'm a jealous hearted bitch i'm
like i'm still gonna we gonna with 90s we're gonna get that flow together next
year you're not messing around i'm making sure it's gonna be your mission i'm
going to help honey i'm not messing around with that you have all year to put
her together now yeah i know we're gonna get it together.
Saloon just add more lights to what you did this year
(07:46):
yeah and i feel like some of the it'll be
like a race i feel like some of the for a float like that i feel
like it should have been more some of the drag oh i was talking about the black party.
Oh okay the pink and black float that was
i mean it was it was different but it was different in
a way but it was good it was a good difference i thought the block party
was the block party was phenomenal like walking in
(08:06):
and seeing them like not just a few arcades baby they had lines of
arcades there it was just a nice experience a whole arcade
it felt like you said like a festival like edc like
that was nice so they had a dj in there and then
they had the food right out there and there was another dj the big
stage i didn't even know yeah i didn't even go in
the club i should be i only went
(08:27):
in the club once yeah because it was so nice outside it was
fun oh but yeah i i went in to see dennis and
that was literally the no i think that's the only reason i went in as
well i was fucked up by that time so i didn't know what was going on
it was done that mushroom had kicked
in honey then i started taking shots with more morphine lord
honey for trial okay can we just talk about so
(08:48):
so much fun yeah they also for the fact that bitch was in makeup
for hours who not one crease
she said that one oh i know nothing like miss
thing was dusted from the second she showed up at that block part up pride disco
to the second that i said goodbye to her when we were leaving the afters yeah
her mug was stamped she looked amazing honey oh she did not have one crease
(09:13):
she did look uh She looked amazing.
Did I see Mirage that night? Mirage was there that night. She looked great.
We sent Mirage home because she had a flight at 4 in the morning.
Oh, damn. And she was out. No, not 4. In 11. We wanted her out.
She was partying with us. We wanted her back at the hotel so she didn't miss her flight.
Those girls are great. I like some of the entertainers from season 16.
This current season. This was great.
(09:35):
They've all been plasma. We
just had plasma on Sunday. And me and Layla just kind of took her around.
So much fun. She was fun. so like almost every girl from this season that we've
had such a good time the kids are taking plasma now i do want to say that was
a good show too plasma's little show or whatever everybody did a good job it was the broadway.
(10:00):
Themed show and then plasma was really good
i loved her mix i thought she was interesting it was nice to go
out and see a good show from beginning to oh nice it was
it was really a show nice i think minneapolis put it down this
year for pride i was really impressed it was nice safe
i enjoyed how safe this pride was it definitely
helped to calm some of my fears down about a
(10:21):
lot of stuff i had a lovely lovely pride
this year yeah kudos to minneapolis for
pride they said at the disco party after i didn't get
to go to it uh dad with the daddy issue oh yeah was nice
over there the food everything was it just was a lot of good fun things if you're
able to you got to do it next year i think we've already talked about me doing
(10:41):
okay i was like you would love the food you would love the crowd the drinks
the drink offerings at the butcher tail yeah yeah yeah he told me it's like
even better than last year myself we heard y'all we just didn't come down.
It's fun it's a good time i saw i saw pictures and videos
you know i love like i'm really proud of
this city when it comes to like how we treat pride and i
(11:01):
and i hope that energy unfortunately i know it won't stay
but i think it's appropriate yeah we could try i enjoy
it well we'll see in halloween because that's our next big.
You know huge show running the
holiday time of the year yeah i love halloween too
it's spooky so fun speaking of spooky
y'all what do y'all feel about mr joe
(11:24):
biden still running for president honey that
is spooky because i'm not gonna
lie after that debate that they put down i'm sure you probably
saw something can i just say this
was the one time the quietest that i saw trump
ever because trump didn't have to do much well they cut mics
this time but at the point he was still making like he
(11:45):
was just he was being silenced the whole time so all he
did was make faces and when biden started to
stutter i don't know if they paused the stream because
trump started laughing so fast and for rose
and i was like there's no way that man is sitting there in silence no
girl he was he was they had
to have paused that side of the screen kind of like he was at the g7 thing when
(12:09):
they said he was waving at the parachutes i'm like mr president we have not
seen one president turn around and wave at the parachuters he walked over there
to the corner and was waved at to go back and get him and drag him over I'm
like and people's like oh he was just enjoying the show that was going I'm like
but he was there for a g7 photo.
Clearly, there are some issues with him cognitively, like no matter what they say, like we can see it.
(12:31):
I am like for real in deep, utter dread.
And then people say, oh, well, what about what he's already done? But that's great.
If he's president and he doesn't have his mind, he's over nuclear codes and
things that he say could start wars.
Trump, same thing. He's super old. like i mean i i
want to believe there's more checks and
balances in our government than one person
(12:54):
being able to actually make something happen right like yeah he can start it
but i'm sure there's probably other people are gonna be like no bro no sit down
bro yeah go eat your ice cream and we'll talk about this juice ice cream because
he can't chew food is that what you say.
(13:20):
The weed that i'm smoking is very it makes me read i see there's some good weed,
we're gonna call this you can call it podcast podcast yeah the name of the strain
of weed this is the podcast because i'm ready honey anyway i'm not looking forward
to november i I think I'm going to go ahead and get myself ready to move to Canada.
(13:41):
We have the lesser of two evils to play with. That's exactly what we're going with.
But on one side, I also feel like because presidents can win a reelection and step down.
I think he will. Which would effectively put Kamala Harris.
Yeah. Now, that's something I think they're strategizing. Aaron.
(14:01):
If they're strategizing, they're going to get this man reelected.
Don't give all of us hopes and dreams.
Well, you're not the best.
(14:37):
Point here is that he's old right yeah whatever i was saying is eventually he'll
pass on and then it'll just
be karma at least for whatever was left in his term
yes exactly yeah so you're saying it
up say bringing it up now you're saying don't get me hype because
that's what i kind of that's what you've been dreaming that's kind of what i hope and
it's like you said he'll step down that makes so much sense that would be so
last four as soon as he wins the presidency he's like okay well he no girl he
(14:58):
is not like no he ain't gonna last four years he wins four years as the president
physically even if he lives out have you seen You mean the side-by-side of the
day that Obama walked into office to the day that he left?
It ages you. The office ages you. I think Abraham Lincoln is another good one.
Look at his inauguration photo and look at him before he died.
(15:20):
Being president literally sends your life through a time.
Because you're getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning, sometimes at 2 in the morning.
And you heard talks and discussions.
All day. Just the stress alone could knock him out. And approval numbers.
And something you say could set off Kim Jong-un to push his red button.
(15:40):
And we know that if they were in a war push it bitch well
he kind of well i think you know and
the crazy part is i think they he like interested in pushing them
over because he's joining up with like iran and
he's joining up with russia and i think he's even
cahoots with china even though china and this is crazy
fact about that korea is one of
(16:00):
the reasons why china and korea were not getting along at one
point china came over took up took it over and america
helped them to get it back yeah somehow the koreans
i don't know we weren't around enough to know these politics but
something happened where the koreans turned on the americans with
the weapons that the america has provided to help them liberate themselves from
(16:20):
china and now when the unes took over i do my little research literally like
now they teach that america is like we're just this great big evil country even
though we help to liberate them from china so it's all interesting what's going.
On right now in the world i mean the grand scheme of things no united
states is not that far off from such a
(16:41):
description considering how much how much let
me not say terror but how much they've inflicted on other
countries and communities you know the wars
all of that stuff true no so too far
off i don't know what's the tension over there but we are on stolen land
exactly i think that's and that's crazy because they talk about like all the
(17:02):
of tornadoes and stuff and i get bored i'm a nerd and i was wondering like did
other countries suffer from this and they said no european countries are not
a lot of them suffer from these like bad storms and tornadoes i was like the
native people curse them.
This is a great country in so many ways but the
(17:22):
weather alone like changes our landscapes and tearing
down whole neighborhoods and everything like wiping it
out yeah it's insane um i think i just
saw victoria's post about like yeah not having power and
houston they've been out of power for a couple days oh because hurricane barrel
yeah and now they got another thunderstorm heading their way yeah and it's just
gonna miss us we're not gonna affect this chicago and like michigan michigan
(17:47):
are gonna have some effects because you know it has that little weather boomerang
as i call it and it just misses us i just wondered like.
Back to Joe Biden being a president, I can't see him being able to keep up with
the natural disasters, the wars that's going on.
Because to me, he's making poor decisions when it comes to this war in Gaza.
I don't see why, and I say this with my heart, why are we funding something
(18:11):
like genocide? And people, oh, they're defending.
It was defense at one point in time. Yes. Then it turned into a form of genocide.
And now, yeah, you have to defend yourself again because you've upset another country.
Almost pulling Egypt into it, by the way. Well, you can just call a ceasefire.
And it's like, boo, what about the people who have to really suffer from these wars?
(18:31):
The people that are sitting there in their houses getting blown up,
same in Ukraine and all that. What's wrong?
I just don't. I think I don't think Joe Biden is the perfect person to bring the world together.
I don't think Trump is. And I think that's what's so scary about all of it.
You got the one. One is this way and one is the other. They're both radical
in their own beliefs. And I think that's what's so scary.
(18:52):
But I know Trump can live his term out if he's president.
Joe biden probably cannot right so
far trump can't i'll say that because i mean but also if
history repeats itself we're also due for an assassination oh i just okay i'm
i'm so i'm yeah i'm glad to say that i'm not saying that at any kind of like
i'm just saying there's people out there that say history repeats itself and
(19:14):
i woke up this morning and the first thing i saw when i woke up on facebook
was someone posted saying presidents don't get assassinated like they used
to and that's a shame yes and i sat there and i was like i
should not be laughing at this because you know
i mean no it's great for the country exactly and i
you know i don't condone violence and are they
wrong considering no they're not wrong it's fortunate that we've gone through
(19:38):
especially with the orange cheeto i think we need to go to three parties though
i think we need to try something new the independence gets shut down quickly
yeah and i think that needs to change i I think instead of them having to raise
enough money or get enough old ballots or whatever they got to do.
Why do we have to have a party, though? Why can't it just be a body of people?
It could be that because that's kind of like what I don't know.
(20:00):
I don't I don't want to say I know a lot about what they have going on in Britain over there.
But they have a system, I think, that's kind of OK because it changes.
They have the Conservative Party. They have like the Labour Party.
They have like different branches. Yeah.
It's hard to explain. And each prime minister that can be chosen comes from
all of those different branches of government.
I think we need something like that so that everybody can have an opportunity
(20:23):
to get heard in this country.
We've allowed ourselves to be engulfed by the wealthy.
I think that's what's wrong. Honestly, there should just be one big building,
the president sits in the middle, and two representatives from each state come
and sit and they all just gather around. And negotiate things, yeah.
And decide things. I don't understand why we've got to have a public.
It's just not working. 80,000 people.
(20:44):
Why do we need Marjorie Taylor Greene sitting in a hotel, going to meetings
every day in the Capitol? What is it with her?
Bad built, bleach blonde, butch body.
Bad built, bleach blonde, butch body. I need to buy one of them shirts.
And the thing is, I just saw Jasmine Crockett in one of those shirts.
And I was like, you, my friend, know how to do it. I live.
(21:06):
I'm glad that they popping back. That's one thing. I'm glad that people that
are like us are getting elected in the office.
We have mouths and we're not going to let nobody just say what they want and run us over.
Exactly. And we actually had to live in the real world because that is what's
wrong with American government.
Too many old ass people are making decisions for us in the future. It needs to change.
(21:27):
I think there needs to be an age limit on government, period,
so that we can get some new ideas here. because the old people calling global
warming a hoax, even though we're having 20 tornadoes a day.
And I'm being funny, but hell, I may be telling the truth.
Were you just yesterday? I'm telling you right now, 20 years ago,
snow used to fall in Minnesota. We get more rain than they get in Tennessee.
(21:49):
We were just talking about that, right? Talking about the weather, yeah.
Honestly and truthfully, Minnesota
has changed so much, it's not even the same place that I remember.
Yeah, you remember it. Yeah, I remember. we used to
have to actually walk through the snow to get to school if you like you've
never seen snow if you haven't and i'm not even talking like doorway that
far like going to the clubs bitch there would be feet of
(22:11):
snow on the floor and we still be trying to go to the club but we're in
line at the club i didn't have to do some snow here and we do when you first
drag yeah it's like the pale end of it hell yeah and i haven't seen like a snow
like that it hasn't snowed like that when we do get snow three days later it's
80 degrees out and it's not and everybody's and We didn't even get a white Christmas this year.
(22:33):
The first year I was able to find me a nine foot, I wanted a 12.
I couldn't get it. I don't even remember. I bought me a tall tree and I decorated
it like snowflakes. And I was like, you had a really nice tree.
It's going to be beautiful. I'm going to have these big ass windows open and
you get to see the snow. He didn't see shit. Yeah.
He didn't even see any of the scissors. We had a couple of snow falls.
(22:54):
Oh, I missed. This is the first year I was like, I missed out.
The concrete was even fairer.
Yeah. When I went back home, Chicago was even better. It was warmer.
So if it ain't global warming, then it's global freezing. We need some new government, y'all. Cold.
Anyway, vote with your heart. I know that these candidates are not desirable
to any of us, but vote with your heart.
Look at what's being done for the country and make a decision based off of that.
(23:19):
I would like to jump in right there. Also, do your research.
And like she said, choose from your heart.
Don't do whatever your favorite celebrity tells you to do. Just because they do it.
Yeah, do it. Because I have plenty of liberties that I like that sound like
straight up idiots right now with the election situation.
But also you have to look at your local government, too, because the president
is important, yes, but your local judges, your local representatives,
(23:43):
city board, council members, all that shit's up for re-election every two and four years.
I think Minnesota is going to be quite all right. It starts at the state level
and it starts at your local level, so get out there.
Yeah, I'm glad we live in a liberal state. Even though we got crazies here,
too. I'm glad it's mostly liberal.
That's fabulous. Purple. Minnesota will always remain blue for a while.
(24:07):
I love it. Speaking of love, y'all, it's time to take a quick commercial break.

Blonde. What's her first name? Emily Blonde. Emily Blonde. And then Anne Hathaway.
Which was box office poison at one point. Oh, and is Stanley Tucci coming back?
Stanley Tucci. Yeah. They talked to the cast. I'm so happy.
Anyway, like I'm really, really happy. What did you see? The musical is underway.
(27:01):
So they have the musical going underway. And Vanessa Williams is Miranda Priestly.
Did you see that? Which is a good choice.
Yes. after ugly betty that's exactly what i
thought he slayed that when ugly ugly betty
is also one of the ones that ended that i was like damn i wish they would have
went like ugly betty was okay you know what that's that's worth another rewatch
(27:21):
good job that's what you know yeah so she's the new miranda priestly i i don't
i think they're in previews if not it's already open well i would definitely
be going for the musical yeah devil rove's proud of the musical.
And then, I don't know, this is not Devils or Prodder, but have you seen the
Death Becomes Her musical stuff?
Michelle Williams is the... I have. She's the witch. She's the witch.
(27:43):
And the premiere is happening in Chicago, I believe.
Because, okay, this is something that Chicago drag does that I absolutely love.
They have these Chicago drag theater nights where they all get dolled up and
go watch a musical together.
Oh, yeah. I saw Detox. That is so cute. I don't know who organizes it,
(28:03):
but I see that Miss Toto posts about it often and Bambi does too.
And I think that's so cute. Those girls are so creative. Like, it's so cute.
And it'll be like a large group of like 15 to 20 or 25 drag performers that'll
all go to see these musicals. And then they like take a picture,
a group picture together.
And I think that's so cute. But the last one they went to was Death Becomes
(28:27):
Her. Because now it's did so well in Chicago that they're going to go to Broadway now.
Yeah. A lot of shows do their pre-Broadway. I think Purple Rain doing their
pre-Broadway here is somewhat unique because usually it's Chicago.
I'm excited about Purple Rain.
I am too. I've auditioned for it twice.
Yeah, I've auditioned for it twice. And then we had some of the creative team
(28:49):
at Paisley during Celebration that weekend that we had the block party.
So I'm excited because they also just named Mars Day and Matt Fink from the
Revolution as the music what do you call that Mars Day and the Time Mars Day and the Time,
and Matt Fink the pianist the keyboardist from the Revolution they are the,
(29:11):
what do you call it? Consultants. That's the music consultants for the show.
And one of Aranya's and I's friend, her name's Maya Lagerstein.
Didn't y'all see, when y'all went to the Taste, didn't y'all see Jimmy Jam?
Yeah, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis performed.
I watched it. I can say, yeah, you, because you I went over,
I said, I'm doing my own thing. You went and did your own thing.
(29:32):
I should have went with you.
But, I mean, we had a good time, but yeah, I didn't get to see Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
I could hear them just fine, but we was on some other
stuff it was really nice they wrote a lot of songs because i saw that they have
jimmy jam and terry lewis should be considered two of the pioneers of what we
know minneapolis sound to be as they became the producers for janet jackson
(29:53):
they're the ones that really helped her get her solo career kicked off they
you know obviously collaborating with prince with the time and,
don't know if they're still considered the time but at one point they
were called the original you know seven yeah and it's morris hayes terry
lewis and jimmy jam and a few others from
that time that time period but honestly terry lewis
(30:13):
and jimmy jam don't get enough credit for what they did for music well
they get they get it from the right people because we know that
we know what they've done yeah yeah but they definitely deserve
more accolades than they have they have been
behind the scenes on so many music projects and music
teams like it's wild goodness
this okay well but they were really good at it to see
(30:34):
all of these different shows coming out definitely devil wears
prada yes see that because i love mr vanessa williams and
i definitely see purple rain because it's gonna be hot hot yeah i think i'll
go see purple rain that'd be my first musical do we know who's still having
purple they have not from last i read they have not cast the lead of prince
yet guess who's gonna be louis dupont de locke.
(31:00):
I'm talking about what i'm from interview with the vampire interview
i know his name i love i absolutely very love interview with the vampire it's
a bit on the whiny side but it's a good show thank you i literally said that
to jojo the other day i was like i don't know if i can sit through this just
i will say after learning is her name and homegirl that wrote it and grisham,
(31:23):
i do not know it's an right and rice and
rice i'm sorry and rice the way they act
it out is like reading the book so i will give them kudos to that it seems like
you're reading that kind of book long drawn out romance and then some action
like i yeah i like it it's just i'll have to give it another try yeah you should
(31:43):
get it i i'll it's successful for a reason i'll say this.
I feel like books are meant to be long and drawn out because that's the only
way you can really convey what you're supposed to be picturing on the page.
Television and movies specifically shouldn't be long and drawn out because you're visually showing us.
So I will say it's a lot of dialogue to sit through. Lots of dialogue.
(32:06):
But then you get these moments of like.
Vampiric power. Wow. And bizarreness. It's like the whole time where they're
out there basically flirting with each other.
And on the inside of the house, their coven is like slaughtering a house full of damn people.
It's bizarre. You have to watch it. Yeah, I'm going to give it another try.
And they're out here like having romantic, like all this romantic shit going
(32:26):
on. You can hear them screaming.
The light pops out and somebody snatches through the window. I'm like, damn.
It was pretty good. Okay. I've watched that too. It's a good show.
I am a fan of the show. I do like it. Speaking of shows, Mysterio,
King and More, everybody know King and More got fired. Yes.
Bye goodbye twirl on out of here cause I'm not a Kenya Moore fan but also Portia
Williams is back they had a Fadreson talk to come back to I'm happy,
(32:53):
that's one of my favorite shows well was my favorite show you know what they
gonna do they gonna announce that all these girls are back do a commercial and
at the end of that commercial it's gonna be Nene laughing I hope so.
She has a show on Lifetime so I'm happy for Nene and she's back on Lifetime.
It's a show about love and marriage, and she gives advice, and I think there's
(33:16):
a little comedy to it. It's a lot. It's fun.
It's on Lifetime. I got to get the exact name of it.
I'd love to see Nene back. Nene, like when you look at, I'm looking at the old
episodes of Housewives now. Yeah.
Magic. Just the whole, there, including Kenya, Portia, Phaedra,
Cynthia, who I teeter on liking and I only like Cynthia because she looks amazing all the time.
(33:39):
But she can't pick her up. She don't have her own mind.
And then there was, who else was on this season? Oh, Claudia, honey. Ick.
Oh, talk about where Drake is at. She only left. And I was like.
I thought this was Housewives, not Housejump.
Balls claudia tried
so hard not jump offs jump off boo
jump but anyway i'm so happy
(33:59):
because i got to work with phaedra that was an absolute treat
i want to work with porsche i hope we
can get a porsche because porsche would be amazing i'd love
to see even work with cynthia i i just i love
atlanta housewives so i'm happy that some of the ogs even
they even bring a charade back and charade to
me as much as she lies she's good for the show well that's what
(34:21):
it is that's what they want ring luna muse on y'all are
you great on i think andy doesn't have any
say so anymore oh he lost because
there was a lot of allegations against him so many lawsuits uh
he was fired for what do you got revenge porn so
oh wow allegedly i don't know for sure she's
fired now so i guess it's facts she showed like a
(34:44):
big screen of one of
the new new housewives giving fellatio to one
of her male suitors i saw i on the shade
you know look at the shade room oh okay but yeah they were
saying that first of all i guess the chick has or she's had a background with
it or whatever anyway so in my mind it's like that was dumb of her if that's
(35:08):
what she's known for doing already why feel like that would be a flex to that's
pure that's pure Well, Kenya is childlike.
That is pure evil. You know what I'm saying? It's even more childish than what
we're used to Kenya doing in
my opinion. Because these are like grown 50 plus 40 some year old women.
The reading is okay, but like, come on, girl. But here's my thing too.
(35:32):
My grandmother taught me a lot about etiquette. I wonder if this was a business
event for Kenya. For Kenya, her hair care. Why would you want to have lewd?
You know scenery at your event at all even if
it's she could have did anything else to embarrass the girl but why
have porn girl if you're
(35:52):
an investor value but if you're an investor payment value
like a lot of this revenge stuff like we see it
on like tv shows all the time where they're having like a big
gala and a big scandalous video pops up on
the screen while someone's giving a big speech oh yeah think about the sensation
that that is it's sensationalism not only
are you getting revenge binge but you think you're embarrassing them and then
(36:12):
you also can play victim because it's like why would this happen at
my event the sensation entered everything is based
off of entertainment value right now let's be quite honest oh definitely
like i think she allegedly said she was going to sue whoever showed like the
because they supposedly signed the nda and meant to even go somebody like showed
like because she knew what she was doing that just makes it all the work exactly
(36:33):
i'm not gonna lie i think bravo probably did some stuff and leaked it because
the show has been suffering.
Honestly, all the housewives have just been flat on it.
And I love all of my favorite girls, Ashley, I love them, but the drama seems more...
Manufactured. Like, you know, let's write a script. Ooh, she said this.
Kind of like what they do in Drag Race.
(36:55):
It's kind of boring. You know, you're getting these people into these rooms
and we're calling a reality show, but you're not letting us have real genuine
beefs and real genuine friendships.
I feel like if you put a camera in a room with a bunch of, especially drag queens,
and I smoke pot, and you tell me I can't smoke now because I had no cocktail,
you will see me act out, and you will get all the footage you need to get for it. Exactly.
(37:17):
I miss just the natural, and Housewives have lost its luster.
So I think Kenya did exactly what she did because she's trying to help.
Because honestly, at this point, with Nene gone...
Kenya was the next best thing as far as the drama on the show.
Because as much as I didn't like her, she was entertaining as hell on that show. Who, Kenya? Yeah.
Kenya was. Oh, yeah, definitely. Oh, my God. Don't get me wrong.
(37:40):
The only person I know that can get on the NeNe League scene.
And I don't even watch it like that. I know that.
That's why I was saying I don't want Kenya to be gone. I hate to make it seem
like, no, I always thought Kenya was good for the show.
Now, Portia Williams is like my girl. She needs to be there.
Oh, you started off on a slow burn. but baby when poor shit lit up on
them kids she was there i i think i hope whatever they
choose to do with housewives i hope it just stopped being boring because
(38:03):
i've been watching it
so long scripted reality is a genre i think
it's boring as hell though if they're gonna fire people
i think they should keep like three main people and
then bring in a bunch of new they do have a lot of new faces
yeah we'll see you know i think it premieres and
they've been filming this shit for so long i think we'll
(38:24):
get it in the fall so it's perfect to watch during this election bs oh my god
tune it all out because i don't want to see none of it i'm not looking at no
news on and out because i wake up the next day and we'll know what we know that's
oh no that was we got the rip keeper if we got the orange man.

Whoo whoo we made it through pride okay right that's
where i was gonna start let's be real there like june is
always i feel like hyperdrive month you know when
they go through hyperspace and star wars i feel like that's where we are the second
june 1st hits yeah you know grateful grateful
for it being able to work and experience it
(01:07):
but realistically it's a
lot it is a lot i didn't do the marathon
this year i only did well still i i call
it not doing the marathon but like i had to work at the gay 90s and i also had
to do like the parade float we ain't gonna talk about that flow but uh what
do you mean talk about the flow i love my sisters honey and i absolutely love
(01:31):
working at the gay 90s the legendary ladies of the fam but you know i don't
want to talk about the flow,
let's say let's just say it looked like you brought a few of your plants and.
Said it because you got a lot of plants in here aaron so i mean this is the float the plants,
oh i mean we were gone so i didn't get to see it but i just i've heard things
it was funny missing let me tell you something where's the pictures good that's
(01:54):
why you don't see i get i love i love i told you i love them so much but that
was like that was quite a float And I got the privilege of being on, I had the privilege,
I'm high as hell, y'all, of being a part of the film show while Nina was there.
And no shade to Nina, no matter what people say about her, but baby, she was on a theme.
(02:14):
We did a Disney theme. You remember we did when the marriage,
we did the marriage thing when marriage licenses got passed through the government and everything.
We did that. And we did Disney where we had like expensive, like Disney outfits on.
Everybody was on point except for one person.
Her ponytail was falling apart I don't want to say her name on my shower but
(02:38):
she know who she is anyway it was wonderful so like to do a float after all
these years because a bitch is paranoid about floats like I legit.
Don't like doing floats especially yeah girl
we got the gods of protests we got like you
know no shade to anything we got black lives matter we also have
a maga maga I'm not trying to duck no bullets
(02:59):
or bottles from nobody so I don't want to float no that's real
so this year was special to me but the
flow was not so special it was fun
seeing the people and waving and having people like Sasha and I'm like I like
that that was nice but yeah I'm gonna help with the flow next year I just say
that everything else was fun though I love the pride shows I heard all of you
(03:22):
did a fantastic job those of you performed I I really this was a really good
pride it was it was really really nice pride like.
Literally like the second i stepped off of that stage at saloon
after the pose show like i hit my foot hit the ground and i just started crying
not because i was like upset but literally we worked from basically monday to
sunday yeah you know so we don't really a lot of times we don't have time to
(03:46):
enjoy what pride is because we are pride for a lot of people i was wasted exactly but this part,
missing this pride i felt like i was able to enjoy it and like you said sunday i was gone.
Baby, them mushrooms had took me somewhere.
I missed out on those. This, for me... Oh, but you were having fun.
(04:07):
What you mean by that? On Sunday. What do you mean? It was a liquid encouragement.
Do you remember seeing us?
I know. I remember Jasmine was trained. I was like, what, girl?
I said, oh, hey, Brendan, honey. Okay.
But no, yeah, I remember I remember it was weird for sure, but y'all was just talking about that.
(04:30):
For me this year, before, I have worked at a lot of Pride events,
and I have performed at a lot of Pride events.
This is my first year working and performing at a bunch of different Pride events.
It's a lot. It was a lot. I told you, it's a lot of work. I was drained, but I did it.
You made good current. And you feel good. But when that Monday hits and I'm able to sleep in.
(04:51):
Oh, my God, girl. Don't touch me. Don't call me. Don't do nothing.
It's one of the most beautiful feelings in the world. Because when I woke up, when I wanted to wake up,
And I didn't have to put makeup on my face. It felt good. Yeah.
I have to admit, it took me a while to like recover.
I should have like took that brunch weekend the next weekend off too, so that I can chill out.
A bitch is getting old, honey. I can tell. Feel it now.
(05:13):
It's crazy. Too many shows. You said sleep in. I literally woke up on Tuesday.
Like what happened to Monday? I know, right?
Well, I played, I stayed up to play video games for a little while.
So I don't even remember.
I don't, I don't remember Monday at all. No, it was a blip.
It was a blip, honey. we didn't nobody knows what happened monday after
pride monday's recovery day baby however you recover
is your thing right i will say the one so we were
(05:36):
out of town for most of it but on sunday when we came
like the saloon when we first walked
in it like me and brendan looked at each other we're like this
is a mini edc like the way that it
was lit it was that happened it was
nice that's what i felt like like it was
it felt like it was like the arcade set up
(05:57):
and everything that's the first thing you watch saloon and it
was different sections great job yeah bravo without putting
up walls like they created different spaces saloon
was thickening their float was nice it was amazing like it was the float was
all slay well slay mantha and she enlisted help from other folks but she was
the it was nine head behind that i like the float this year because it was nice
it was double it was it was like a double vector yeah it was amazing more of
(06:20):
a pride float rather Rather than just a flatbed semi-truck. With plants on it.
I thought we weren't going to talk about it.
Girl, let me, girl. Y'all better stop messing with me. Y'all were supposed to
be the people that tow the cars. We were supposed to be straight out the jungle,
honey. That's what it was supposed to be.
Speaking of out of the jungle, Zahara was on the float for Zahara. Yes, she was. Really?
(06:43):
Yeah. Yeah. Really? Yes, she was.
Did she wear the pink? No, she wore pink. Nina wore the yellow.
Yeah. They all had similar outfits. Oh, I did see. They looked fabulous.
Oh, yes. They were like the old school dad look on the face.
We talking about Nina DeAngelo. She will always get praise from me for being
well organized and putting together great things. I'm sorry.
(07:04):
Yeah all the queens have come up underneath and we're
all the same way when it comes to structure and
how we do things and that i will always give her that so i know the
roxy girls will go on a little grand it was their flow
was also fabulous by the way it's like a casino with the
cards and everything amazing yeah it was great you know
being a powerful foot in that flow oh yeah it
(07:26):
was great honey and you know me i'm a i'm a i'm a jealous hearted bitch i'm
like i'm still gonna we gonna with 90s we're gonna get that flow together next
year you're not messing around i'm making sure it's gonna be your mission i'm
going to help honey i'm not messing around with that you have all year to put
her together now yeah i know we're gonna get it together.
Saloon just add more lights to what you did this year
(07:46):
yeah and i feel like some of the it'll be
like a race i feel like some of the for a float like that i feel
like it should have been more some of the drag oh i was talking about the black party.
Oh okay the pink and black float that was
i mean it was it was different but it was different in
a way but it was good it was a good difference i thought the block party
was the block party was phenomenal like walking in
(08:06):
and seeing them like not just a few arcades baby they had lines of
arcades there it was just a nice experience a whole arcade
it felt like you said like a festival like edc like
that was nice so they had a dj in there and then
they had the food right out there and there was another dj the big
stage i didn't even know yeah i didn't even go in
the club i should be i only went
(08:27):
in the club once yeah because it was so nice outside it was
fun oh but yeah i i went in to see dennis and
that was literally the no i think that's the only reason i went in as
well i was fucked up by that time so i didn't know what was going on
it was done that mushroom had kicked
in honey then i started taking shots with more morphine lord
honey for trial okay can we just talk about so
(08:48):
so much fun yeah they also for the fact that bitch was in makeup
for hours who not one crease
she said that one oh i know nothing like miss
thing was dusted from the second she showed up at that block part up pride disco
to the second that i said goodbye to her when we were leaving the afters yeah
her mug was stamped she looked amazing honey oh she did not have one crease
(09:13):
she did look uh She looked amazing.
Did I see Mirage that night? Mirage was there that night. She looked great.
We sent Mirage home because she had a flight at 4 in the morning.
Oh, damn. And she was out. No, not 4. In 11. We wanted her out.
She was partying with us. We wanted her back at the hotel so she didn't miss her flight.
Those girls are great. I like some of the entertainers from season 16.
This current season. This was great.
(09:35):
They've all been plasma. We
just had plasma on Sunday. And me and Layla just kind of took her around.
So much fun. She was fun. so like almost every girl from this season that we've
had such a good time the kids are taking plasma now i do want to say that was
a good show too plasma's little show or whatever everybody did a good job it was the broadway.
(10:00):
Themed show and then plasma was really good
i loved her mix i thought she was interesting it was nice to go
out and see a good show from beginning to oh nice it was
it was really a show nice i think minneapolis put it down this
year for pride i was really impressed it was nice safe
i enjoyed how safe this pride was it definitely
helped to calm some of my fears down about a
(10:21):
lot of stuff i had a lovely lovely pride
this year yeah kudos to minneapolis for
pride they said at the disco party after i didn't get
to go to it uh dad with the daddy issue oh yeah was nice
over there the food everything was it just was a lot of good fun things if you're
able to you got to do it next year i think we've already talked about me doing
(10:41):
okay i was like you would love the food you would love the crowd the drinks
the drink offerings at the butcher tail yeah yeah yeah he told me it's like
even better than last year myself we heard y'all we just didn't come down.
It's fun it's a good time i saw i saw pictures and videos
you know i love like i'm really proud of
this city when it comes to like how we treat pride and i
(11:01):
and i hope that energy unfortunately i know it won't stay
but i think it's appropriate yeah we could try i enjoy
it well we'll see in halloween because that's our next big.
You know huge show running the
holiday time of the year yeah i love halloween too
it's spooky so fun speaking of spooky
y'all what do y'all feel about mr joe
(11:24):
biden still running for president honey that
is spooky because i'm not gonna
lie after that debate that they put down i'm sure you probably
saw something can i just say this
was the one time the quietest that i saw trump
ever because trump didn't have to do much well they cut mics
this time but at the point he was still making like he
(11:45):
was just he was being silenced the whole time so all he
did was make faces and when biden started to
stutter i don't know if they paused the stream because
trump started laughing so fast and for rose
and i was like there's no way that man is sitting there in silence no
girl he was he was they had
to have paused that side of the screen kind of like he was at the g7 thing when
(12:09):
they said he was waving at the parachutes i'm like mr president we have not
seen one president turn around and wave at the parachuters he walked over there
to the corner and was waved at to go back and get him and drag him over I'm
like and people's like oh he was just enjoying the show that was going I'm like
but he was there for a g7 photo.
Clearly, there are some issues with him cognitively, like no matter what they say, like we can see it.
(12:31):
I am like for real in deep, utter dread.
And then people say, oh, well, what about what he's already done? But that's great.
If he's president and he doesn't have his mind, he's over nuclear codes and
things that he say could start wars.
Trump, same thing. He's super old. like i mean i i
want to believe there's more checks and
balances in our government than one person
(12:54):
being able to actually make something happen right like yeah he can start it
but i'm sure there's probably other people are gonna be like no bro no sit down
bro yeah go eat your ice cream and we'll talk about this juice ice cream because
he can't chew food is that what you say.
(13:20):
The weed that i'm smoking is very it makes me read i see there's some good weed,
we're gonna call this you can call it podcast podcast yeah the name of the strain
of weed this is the podcast because i'm ready honey anyway i'm not looking forward
to november i I think I'm going to go ahead and get myself ready to move to Canada.
(13:41):
We have the lesser of two evils to play with. That's exactly what we're going with.
But on one side, I also feel like because presidents can win a reelection and step down.
I think he will. Which would effectively put Kamala Harris.
Yeah. Now, that's something I think they're strategizing. Aaron.
(14:01):
If they're strategizing, they're going to get this man reelected.
Don't give all of us hopes and dreams.
Well, you're not the best.
(14:37):
Point here is that he's old right yeah whatever i was saying is eventually he'll
pass on and then it'll just
be karma at least for whatever was left in his term
yes exactly yeah so you're saying it
up say bringing it up now you're saying don't get me hype because
that's what i kind of that's what you've been dreaming that's kind of what i hope and
it's like you said he'll step down that makes so much sense that would be so
last four as soon as he wins the presidency he's like okay well he no girl he
(14:58):
is not like no he ain't gonna last four years he wins four years as the president
physically even if he lives out have you seen You mean the side-by-side of the
day that Obama walked into office to the day that he left?
It ages you. The office ages you. I think Abraham Lincoln is another good one.
Look at his inauguration photo and look at him before he died.
(15:20):
Being president literally sends your life through a time.
Because you're getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning, sometimes at 2 in the morning.
And you heard talks and discussions.
All day. Just the stress alone could knock him out. And approval numbers.
And something you say could set off Kim Jong-un to push his red button.
(15:40):
And we know that if they were in a war push it bitch well
he kind of well i think you know and
the crazy part is i think they he like interested in pushing them
over because he's joining up with like iran and
he's joining up with russia and i think he's even
cahoots with china even though china and this is crazy
fact about that korea is one of
(16:00):
the reasons why china and korea were not getting along at one
point china came over took up took it over and america
helped them to get it back yeah somehow the koreans
i don't know we weren't around enough to know these politics but
something happened where the koreans turned on the americans with
the weapons that the america has provided to help them liberate themselves from
(16:20):
china and now when the unes took over i do my little research literally like
now they teach that america is like we're just this great big evil country even
though we help to liberate them from china so it's all interesting what's going.
On right now in the world i mean the grand scheme of things no united
states is not that far off from such a
(16:41):
description considering how much how much let
me not say terror but how much they've inflicted on other
countries and communities you know the wars
all of that stuff true no so too far
off i don't know what's the tension over there but we are on stolen land
exactly i think that's and that's crazy because they talk about like all the
(17:02):
of tornadoes and stuff and i get bored i'm a nerd and i was wondering like did
other countries suffer from this and they said no european countries are not
a lot of them suffer from these like bad storms and tornadoes i was like the
native people curse them.
This is a great country in so many ways but the
(17:22):
weather alone like changes our landscapes and tearing
down whole neighborhoods and everything like wiping it
out yeah it's insane um i think i just
saw victoria's post about like yeah not having power and
houston they've been out of power for a couple days oh because hurricane barrel
yeah and now they got another thunderstorm heading their way yeah and it's just
gonna miss us we're not gonna affect this chicago and like michigan michigan
(17:47):
are gonna have some effects because you know it has that little weather boomerang
as i call it and it just misses us i just wondered like.
Back to Joe Biden being a president, I can't see him being able to keep up with
the natural disasters, the wars that's going on.
Because to me, he's making poor decisions when it comes to this war in Gaza.
I don't see why, and I say this with my heart, why are we funding something
(18:11):
like genocide? And people, oh, they're defending.
It was defense at one point in time. Yes. Then it turned into a form of genocide.
And now, yeah, you have to defend yourself again because you've upset another country.
Almost pulling Egypt into it, by the way. Well, you can just call a ceasefire.
And it's like, boo, what about the people who have to really suffer from these wars?
(18:31):
The people that are sitting there in their houses getting blown up,
same in Ukraine and all that. What's wrong?
I just don't. I think I don't think Joe Biden is the perfect person to bring the world together.
I don't think Trump is. And I think that's what's so scary about all of it.
You got the one. One is this way and one is the other. They're both radical
in their own beliefs. And I think that's what's so scary.
(18:52):
But I know Trump can live his term out if he's president.
Joe biden probably cannot right so
far trump can't i'll say that because i mean but also if
history repeats itself we're also due for an assassination oh i just okay i'm
i'm so i'm yeah i'm glad to say that i'm not saying that at any kind of like
i'm just saying there's people out there that say history repeats itself and
(19:14):
i woke up this morning and the first thing i saw when i woke up on facebook
was someone posted saying presidents don't get assassinated like they used
to and that's a shame yes and i sat there and i was like i
should not be laughing at this because you know
i mean no it's great for the country exactly and i
you know i don't condone violence and are they
wrong considering no they're not wrong it's fortunate that we've gone through
(19:38):
especially with the orange cheeto i think we need to go to three parties though
i think we need to try something new the independence gets shut down quickly
yeah and i think that needs to change i I think instead of them having to raise
enough money or get enough old ballots or whatever they got to do.
Why do we have to have a party, though? Why can't it just be a body of people?
It could be that because that's kind of like what I don't know.
(20:00):
I don't I don't want to say I know a lot about what they have going on in Britain over there.
But they have a system, I think, that's kind of OK because it changes.
They have the Conservative Party. They have like the Labour Party.
They have like different branches. Yeah.
It's hard to explain. And each prime minister that can be chosen comes from
all of those different branches of government.
I think we need something like that so that everybody can have an opportunity
(20:23):
to get heard in this country.
We've allowed ourselves to be engulfed by the wealthy.
I think that's what's wrong. Honestly, there should just be one big building,
the president sits in the middle, and two representatives from each state come
and sit and they all just gather around. And negotiate things, yeah.
And decide things. I don't understand why we've got to have a public.
It's just not working. 80,000 people.
(20:44):
Why do we need Marjorie Taylor Greene sitting in a hotel, going to meetings
every day in the Capitol? What is it with her?
Bad built, bleach blonde, butch body.
Bad built, bleach blonde, butch body. I need to buy one of them shirts.
And the thing is, I just saw Jasmine Crockett in one of those shirts.
And I was like, you, my friend, know how to do it. I live.
(21:06):
I'm glad that they popping back. That's one thing. I'm glad that people that
are like us are getting elected in the office.
We have mouths and we're not going to let nobody just say what they want and run us over.
Exactly. And we actually had to live in the real world because that is what's
wrong with American government.
Too many old ass people are making decisions for us in the future. It needs to change.
(21:27):
I think there needs to be an age limit on government, period,
so that we can get some new ideas here. because the old people calling global
warming a hoax, even though we're having 20 tornadoes a day.
And I'm being funny, but hell, I may be telling the truth.
Were you just yesterday? I'm telling you right now, 20 years ago,
snow used to fall in Minnesota. We get more rain than they get in Tennessee.
(21:49):
We were just talking about that, right? Talking about the weather, yeah.
Honestly and truthfully, Minnesota
has changed so much, it's not even the same place that I remember.
Yeah, you remember it. Yeah, I remember. we used to
have to actually walk through the snow to get to school if you like you've
never seen snow if you haven't and i'm not even talking like doorway that
far like going to the clubs bitch there would be feet of
(22:11):
snow on the floor and we still be trying to go to the club but we're in
line at the club i didn't have to do some snow here and we do when you first
drag yeah it's like the pale end of it hell yeah and i haven't seen like a snow
like that it hasn't snowed like that when we do get snow three days later it's
80 degrees out and it's not and everybody's and We didn't even get a white Christmas this year.
(22:33):
The first year I was able to find me a nine foot, I wanted a 12.
I couldn't get it. I don't even remember. I bought me a tall tree and I decorated
it like snowflakes. And I was like, you had a really nice tree.
It's going to be beautiful. I'm going to have these big ass windows open and
you get to see the snow. He didn't see shit. Yeah.
He didn't even see any of the scissors. We had a couple of snow falls.
(22:54):
Oh, I missed. This is the first year I was like, I missed out.
The concrete was even fairer.
Yeah. When I went back home, Chicago was even better. It was warmer.
So if it ain't global warming, then it's global freezing. We need some new government, y'all. Cold.
Anyway, vote with your heart. I know that these candidates are not desirable
to any of us, but vote with your heart.
Look at what's being done for the country and make a decision based off of that.
(23:19):
I would like to jump in right there. Also, do your research.
And like she said, choose from your heart.
Don't do whatever your favorite celebrity tells you to do. Just because they do it.
Yeah, do it. Because I have plenty of liberties that I like that sound like
straight up idiots right now with the election situation.
But also you have to look at your local government, too, because the president
is important, yes, but your local judges, your local representatives,
(23:43):
city board, council members, all that shit's up for re-election every two and four years.
I think Minnesota is going to be quite all right. It starts at the state level
and it starts at your local level, so get out there.
Yeah, I'm glad we live in a liberal state. Even though we got crazies here,
too. I'm glad it's mostly liberal.
That's fabulous. Purple. Minnesota will always remain blue for a while.
(24:07):
I love it. Speaking of love, y'all, it's time to take a quick commercial break.

(26:37):
meryl streep did an amazing job Oh,
I'm so excited to see like what they're going to do with it.
I think I watched that movie.
Blonde. What's her first name? Emily Blonde. Emily Blonde. And then Anne Hathaway.
Which was box office poison at one point. Oh, and is Stanley Tucci coming back?
Stanley Tucci. Yeah. They talked to the cast. I'm so happy.
Anyway, like I'm really, really happy. What did you see? The musical is underway.
(27:01):
So they have the musical going underway. And Vanessa Williams is Miranda Priestly.
Did you see that? Which is a good choice.
Yes. after ugly betty that's exactly what i
thought he slayed that when ugly ugly betty
is also one of the ones that ended that i was like damn i wish they would have
went like ugly betty was okay you know what that's that's worth another rewatch
(27:21):
good job that's what you know yeah so she's the new miranda priestly i i don't
i think they're in previews if not it's already open well i would definitely
be going for the musical yeah devil rove's proud of the musical.
And then, I don't know, this is not Devils or Prodder, but have you seen the
Death Becomes Her musical stuff?
Michelle Williams is the... I have. She's the witch. She's the witch.
(27:43):
And the premiere is happening in Chicago, I believe.
Because, okay, this is something that Chicago drag does that I absolutely love.
They have these Chicago drag theater nights where they all get dolled up and
go watch a musical together.
Oh, yeah. I saw Detox. That is so cute. I don't know who organizes it,
(28:03):
but I see that Miss Toto posts about it often and Bambi does too.
And I think that's so cute. Those girls are so creative. Like, it's so cute.
And it'll be like a large group of like 15 to 20 or 25 drag performers that'll
all go to see these musicals. And then they like take a picture,
a group picture together.
And I think that's so cute. But the last one they went to was Death Becomes
(28:27):
Her. Because now it's did so well in Chicago that they're going to go to Broadway now.
Yeah. A lot of shows do their pre-Broadway. I think Purple Rain doing their
pre-Broadway here is somewhat unique because usually it's Chicago.
I'm excited about Purple Rain.
I am too. I've auditioned for it twice.
Yeah, I've auditioned for it twice. And then we had some of the creative team
(28:49):
at Paisley during Celebration that weekend that we had the block party.
So I'm excited because they also just named Mars Day and Matt Fink from the
Revolution as the music what do you call that Mars Day and the Time Mars Day and the Time,
and Matt Fink the pianist the keyboardist from the Revolution they are the,
(29:11):
what do you call it? Consultants. That's the music consultants for the show.
And one of Aranya's and I's friend, her name's Maya Lagerstein.
Didn't y'all see, when y'all went to the Taste, didn't y'all see Jimmy Jam?
Yeah, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis performed.
I watched it. I can say, yeah, you, because you I went over,
I said, I'm doing my own thing. You went and did your own thing.
(29:32):
I should have went with you.
But, I mean, we had a good time, but yeah, I didn't get to see Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
I could hear them just fine, but we was on some other
stuff it was really nice they wrote a lot of songs because i saw that they have
jimmy jam and terry lewis should be considered two of the pioneers of what we
know minneapolis sound to be as they became the producers for janet jackson
(29:53):
they're the ones that really helped her get her solo career kicked off they
you know obviously collaborating with prince with the time and,
don't know if they're still considered the time but at one point they
were called the original you know seven yeah and it's morris hayes terry
lewis and jimmy jam and a few others from
that time that time period but honestly terry lewis
(30:13):
and jimmy jam don't get enough credit for what they did for music well
they get they get it from the right people because we know that
we know what they've done yeah yeah but they definitely deserve
more accolades than they have they have been
behind the scenes on so many music projects and music
teams like it's wild goodness
this okay well but they were really good at it to see
(30:34):
all of these different shows coming out definitely devil wears
prada yes see that because i love mr vanessa williams and
i definitely see purple rain because it's gonna be hot hot yeah i think i'll
go see purple rain that'd be my first musical do we know who's still having
purple they have not from last i read they have not cast the lead of prince
yet guess who's gonna be louis dupont de locke.
(31:00):
I'm talking about what i'm from interview with the vampire interview
i know his name i love i absolutely very love interview with the vampire it's
a bit on the whiny side but it's a good show thank you i literally said that
to jojo the other day i was like i don't know if i can sit through this just
i will say after learning is her name and homegirl that wrote it and grisham,
(31:23):
i do not know it's an right and rice and
rice i'm sorry and rice the way they act
it out is like reading the book so i will give them kudos to that it seems like
you're reading that kind of book long drawn out romance and then some action
like i yeah i like it it's just i'll have to give it another try yeah you should
(31:43):
get it i i'll it's successful for a reason i'll say this.
I feel like books are meant to be long and drawn out because that's the only
way you can really convey what you're supposed to be picturing on the page.
Television and movies specifically shouldn't be long and drawn out because you're visually showing us.
So I will say it's a lot of dialogue to sit through. Lots of dialogue.
(32:06):
But then you get these moments of like.
Vampiric power. Wow. And bizarreness. It's like the whole time where they're
out there basically flirting with each other.
And on the inside of the house, their coven is like slaughtering a house full of damn people.
It's bizarre. You have to watch it. Yeah, I'm going to give it another try.
And they're out here like having romantic, like all this romantic shit going
(32:26):
on. You can hear them screaming.
The light pops out and somebody snatches through the window. I'm like, damn.
It was pretty good. Okay. I've watched that too. It's a good show.
I am a fan of the show. I do like it. Speaking of shows, Mysterio,
King and More, everybody know King and More got fired. Yes.
Bye goodbye twirl on out of here cause I'm not a Kenya Moore fan but also Portia
Williams is back they had a Fadreson talk to come back to I'm happy,
(32:53):
that's one of my favorite shows well was my favorite show you know what they
gonna do they gonna announce that all these girls are back do a commercial and
at the end of that commercial it's gonna be Nene laughing I hope so.
She has a show on Lifetime so I'm happy for Nene and she's back on Lifetime.
It's a show about love and marriage, and she gives advice, and I think there's
(33:16):
a little comedy to it. It's a lot. It's fun.
It's on Lifetime. I got to get the exact name of it.
I'd love to see Nene back. Nene, like when you look at, I'm looking at the old
episodes of Housewives now. Yeah.
Magic. Just the whole, there, including Kenya, Portia, Phaedra,
Cynthia, who I teeter on liking and I only like Cynthia because she looks amazing all the time.
(33:39):
But she can't pick her up. She don't have her own mind.
And then there was, who else was on this season? Oh, Claudia, honey. Ick.
Oh, talk about where Drake is at. She only left. And I was like.
I thought this was Housewives, not Housejump.
Balls claudia tried
so hard not jump offs jump off boo
jump but anyway i'm so happy
(33:59):
because i got to work with phaedra that was an absolute treat
i want to work with porsche i hope we
can get a porsche because porsche would be amazing i'd love
to see even work with cynthia i i just i love
atlanta housewives so i'm happy that some of the ogs even
they even bring a charade back and charade to
me as much as she lies she's good for the show well that's what
(34:21):
it is that's what they want ring luna muse on y'all are
you great on i think andy doesn't have any
say so anymore oh he lost because
there was a lot of allegations against him so many lawsuits uh
he was fired for what do you got revenge porn so
oh wow allegedly i don't know for sure she's
fired now so i guess it's facts she showed like a
(34:44):
big screen of one of
the new new housewives giving fellatio to one
of her male suitors i saw i on the shade
you know look at the shade room oh okay but yeah they were
saying that first of all i guess the chick has or she's had a background with
it or whatever anyway so in my mind it's like that was dumb of her if that's
(35:08):
what she's known for doing already why feel like that would be a flex to that's
pure that's pure Well, Kenya is childlike.
That is pure evil. You know what I'm saying? It's even more childish than what
we're used to Kenya doing in
my opinion. Because these are like grown 50 plus 40 some year old women.
The reading is okay, but like, come on, girl. But here's my thing too.
(35:32):
My grandmother taught me a lot about etiquette. I wonder if this was a business
event for Kenya. For Kenya, her hair care. Why would you want to have lewd?
You know scenery at your event at all even if
it's she could have did anything else to embarrass the girl but why
have porn girl if you're
(35:52):
an investor value but if you're an investor payment value
like a lot of this revenge stuff like we see it
on like tv shows all the time where they're having like a big
gala and a big scandalous video pops up on
the screen while someone's giving a big speech oh yeah think about the sensation
that that is it's sensationalism not only
are you getting revenge binge but you think you're embarrassing them and then
(36:12):
you also can play victim because it's like why would this happen at
my event the sensation entered everything is based
off of entertainment value right now let's be quite honest oh definitely
like i think she allegedly said she was going to sue whoever showed like the
because they supposedly signed the nda and meant to even go somebody like showed
like because she knew what she was doing that just makes it all the work exactly
(36:33):
i'm not gonna lie i think bravo probably did some stuff and leaked it because
the show has been suffering.
Honestly, all the housewives have just been flat on it.
And I love all of my favorite girls, Ashley, I love them, but the drama seems more...
Manufactured. Like, you know, let's write a script. Ooh, she said this.
Kind of like what they do in Drag Race.
(36:55):
It's kind of boring. You know, you're getting these people into these rooms
and we're calling a reality show, but you're not letting us have real genuine
beefs and real genuine friendships.
I feel like if you put a camera in a room with a bunch of, especially drag queens,
and I smoke pot, and you tell me I can't smoke now because I had no cocktail,
you will see me act out, and you will get all the footage you need to get for it. Exactly.
(37:17):
I miss just the natural, and Housewives have lost its luster.
So I think Kenya did exactly what she did because she's trying to help.
Because honestly, at this point, with Nene gone...
Kenya was the next best thing as far as the drama on the show.
Because as much as I didn't like her, she was entertaining as hell on that show. Who, Kenya? Yeah.
Kenya was. Oh, yeah, definitely. Oh, my God. Don't get me wrong.
(37:40):
The only person I know that can get on the NeNe League scene.
And I don't even watch it like that. I know that.
That's why I was saying I don't want Kenya to be gone. I hate to make it seem
like, no, I always thought Kenya was good for the show.
Now, Portia Williams is like my girl. She needs to be there.
Oh, you started off on a slow burn. but baby when poor shit lit up on
them kids she was there i i think i hope whatever they
choose to do with housewives i hope it just stopped being boring because
(38:03):
i've been watching it
so long scripted reality is a genre i think
it's boring as hell though if they're gonna fire people
i think they should keep like three main people and
then bring in a bunch of new they do have a lot of new faces
yeah we'll see you know i think it premieres and
they've been filming this shit for so long i think we'll
(38:24):
get it in the fall so it's perfect to watch during this election bs oh my god
tune it all out because i don't want to see none of it i'm not looking at no
news on and out because i wake up the next day and we'll know what we know that's
oh no that was we got the rip keeper if we got the orange man.
Well y'all it's been real because guess what i gotta cut out and go make my money i need.
(38:51):
By the time you hear this episode it would be i've worked going work at the
gay 90s this thursday oh yes yeah i'm super duper high off of the podcast strain of marijuana,

Minnesota nights you know what they call it I had
some aggressiveness yeah Minnesota nights honey okay Mysterio

right now is that remember you don't have to put others down to make yourself
(39:37):
seem great say it can you say it again for those in black you do not have to
put each other down to make yourself seem great yeah period any advice everything
