Episode Transcript

(00:00):
All right, children, welcome to another fabulous episode of the Lemon Squeeze
podcast with your hostess, Sasha Casadine.
Of course, I am joined by my fabulous drag family, EO Mysterio Casadine. Beep, beep, beep, beep.
My daughter, Jasmine, is one of my special guests today.

(00:20):
Hey. And of course, I'm joined by Mr. Stone Crazy himself, Aaron William. Hello.
You said, hello. that
was very soft is that like your back
in the day we used to you the prank call voice so before
that was like a chat line honey the fun thing
to do was to get on the straight ones and try to ask some guys like not like

(00:43):
a girl yeah that was a good point see yeah girl they would have thought you
had some big titties and everything oh i remember those chat lines oh my used
to do it was so entertaining they were fun so entertaining but speaking oh absolutely,
absolutely but speaking of entertaining we are
going to get this thing started off with the met gala

(01:06):
i absolutely love this theme this theme was everything we need to do stuff like
that in minneapolis this was drag central boo this was probably for me i would
say this personally one of my
favorite themes for the met gala everybody looked amazing it was uh it was
Sleeping Beauty's Reawakening Fashion.

(01:28):
So it's all about the princesses. Even though Cardi B kind of gave me witch
vibe. You look good, though. Well, somebody had to put the bitch to sleep, didn't they?
Cardi B said, I live. I live. The Wicked Witch of the West. But Cardi looked absolutely amazing.
Her designer, I can't remember his name, but she got flack for doing the same

(01:51):
thing that I just did. she could not remember the designer's name y'all windows
and yeah she she talked about,
the reason why she couldn't remember she said that his name
she was afraid to pronounce it wrong because he's asian he's uh i think
he's a fairly new designer is he i
have to make sure i get his name right too so y'all won't be saying sasha
casadine does not remember the name of designer i feel like this is reoccurring

(02:17):
with many designers many designers pronounce their names certain ways and hard
to get it right especially i
think when you're a new designer but I think he's been out for some time.
We're trying to make sure we get his name right. Oh, here he is. He's a handsome cat.
Oh, yeah. He's done some amazing stuff.

(02:40):
Some interesting stuff out there. Yeah. Is his brand called the...
What is it? Is it Tatler Asia?
It looks like Tatler Asia. I think that's the name of the magazine.
Oh, that's the name of the magazine. but anyway i
think he's a i think he did a good job on her dress oh
it's sinsin lee i can see
why she probably would be like is yeah i can understand

(03:03):
why she would forget it but anyway chinese oh yeah
is he like the first fashion fast chinese
mainstream fashion designer here in the states i don't
think i don't think i don't think though i think he's just coming into the
world and like like popping right now
okay because Vera Wang I guess she would be is he
is she she's Asian but like I don't

(03:24):
know if he's from China I don't I love this that they're featuring a Chinese
designer because Chinese designs are usually known as just like fast manufactured
manufactured clothes yeah but with the designer at the Met Gala you're reintroducing
Asian fashion and Chinese are.
Gonna be at the top well i guess you won't be if you can't remember

(03:45):
the designer's name because ain't nobody gonna know where it came from but i
mean cardi i understand that she said that she was
on the red carpet there was a lot going on they
were rushing her to the front with a big gown on she couldn't
get her podium on the stage yeah she said so right when
they stopped her it literally just slipped her mind but she
went back and she did like a live thing on her instagram and

(04:07):
corrected herself anyway kudos to cardi
for stepping out and going with a newer designer and not
sticking with someone who's like already well known because i
loved her dress it was drama she definitely looked like
the bitch that was putting the princesses to sleep there's
some really really amazing fashion that went down
like jasmine what was one of your favorites this year oh

(04:28):
i have to shadow ariana ariana looked good
yeah she was so beautiful i think the boys
killed it too by the the way oh yes yeah a
little nas x yeah he's late i love
his little cream look i mean the stitching
on it was nice oh this i didn't like wendelin's hair
i i couldn't get into it i felt like i was trying to watch it went around with

(04:53):
the theater of the evening it did and it kind of gave me you can't just pop
up to the grammys like that if she's not going to perform right right and it
She kind of gave me a 1920s feel, too, by the way. I didn't mean to cut you off, yo.
No, you're fine. I mean, I definitely feel like it's a touch cartoony,
but I feel like that adds to, especially when you say what the theme of the gala was this year.
It fits. I love it. I think Big Slade, she committed to her look. I love it. You can, yeah.

(05:18):
I want to say that you can see the models...
Personality in the garment that they're yes because
this definitely fits her that's why i
like it so much i also get want to give a
shout out to like uh zendaya she looked absolutely amazing
i mean what was she wearing is to die

(05:39):
for made hers oh christian what is my
son margiela my son and john galliano oh god
she looks so good her makeup looked amazing her
hair she was like one of my favorites because some of
them had really really beautiful dresses on or really
nice suits but they didn't give you a head-to-toe look and then
they're like 100% makeup everything i

(06:01):
think she should have been probably top of my list i saw
a few other ones oh this one was beautiful michelle y'all
was in balenciaga at first i
was like is she wrapped up in aluminum foil but they did
a good job naomi campbell never never ever does any wrong i don't know if this
fits the theme though i mean i think i like it she's like one of the fairy godmothers

(06:25):
really that's what i feel like she should have wore some victoria's secret wing
godmother yeah because remember she had three of them right yeah it's supposed
to give me a cardboard car
vibe oh yeah no i i feel like she definitely wasn't the most in character but her dress works.
Appropriately no one cares it's naomi campbell let that bitch
walk down the road yeah she looks she looks flawless there was

(06:45):
a lot of beautiful like moments there were some moments that
i questioned i think this was yeah do a leap of the best yeah
i did not like yeah
it was a few that i didn't really really like amanda safer
product that was nice ariana i feel
like ariana wore something in her closet and just came out i

(07:06):
didn't think so she looked cute no it was cute
but it looked like something she would literally wear like i think we just watched a
video with her wearing that was it doja that
came out as a wet bed sheet doja said
the wet t-shirt yeah she said fly she wanted to
do the most used flower ever and that was cotton i don't know oh yeah smart

(07:27):
thinking but i don't know if everybody got it i didn't get it yeah i don't know
if everyone got it some of the dresses were like absolutely dreadful some of
them oh my goodness great Ray Taylor.
Yeah. Yes. It looks amazing.
But anyway, this Met Gala was definitely inspirational. So many stunners.
Some outfits that I definitely want to get made for myself, like Nicki Minaj's outfit.

(07:50):
Oh, yeah. You heard it first with me, bitches. I'm wearing Nicki Minaj's look for a drag con. He does.
Don't be trying to copy it. I'm already doing it.
But if you have not seen any of the Met Gala, you can go on Vogue's internet
page, and they got all the photos of all the fabulous fashion.
Good job this year entertainers i was thoroughly impressed

(08:13):
don't you you still have to be invited to
the met gallery you do and i think it's a 25 000 like donation
75 000 75 they went up
yeah so it's you're invited anna winters
or winter has a lot of say on who
gets to come well she makes the list pretty much and you don't
get a plus one like your plus one has to also be

(08:35):
invited did well they usually go with the stylist the
designer yeah usually so and then they
pick that and yeah it's like 75 grand and 10 top tables go for like three quarters
of a million dollars i have to say like all in the name for charity if i was
famous enough i would go i totally would go i think it'd be interesting just

(08:57):
to be there i just would want to drink i'll work it,
I want to be on a red carpet.
I want to be this guy right here. Me too. It'd be so magical.
You want to be the guy that's standing back looking at everybody?
The photographer's back and they already know what to do.
Okay. So my job is easy tonight. Nicki Minaj looks stunning in this picture.
I want to be that bitch. Yeah, same.

(09:17):
Yeah. Same. I want to be- I want all these niggas around. Making sure my fucking-
Put my face on Nicki Minaj's. Okay.
What'd she say? Run and give me some lizard skin shit.
Check out, check out Vogue, honey, so you can see all of those looks.
Yes, I will say this is really great. A lot of people did really good this year.

(09:39):
There was a lot of flops last year.
Oh, it was tons of flops. I don't think people understood the theme last year.
But this year, it seems like they got the assignment.
Speaking of assignments, there are new gals on the hit HBO show.
I think you can see it on HBO Max. We're here.
This cast is Priyanka. She's from Drag Race Canada.

(10:01):
Shada Essence Hall. She won season, I forget what season she won, but it was during COVID.
And then we have Sasha Ballour, although a winner. Oh, Shada was season 12.
Sasha Ballour's a winner also. And then we have Latrice Royale.
I love Latrice. I know her from like back in the day in the pageant world.
I got to watch like the first episode. I'm not going to lie to you.

(10:24):
But watching it, I did not get the chemistry that I saw with Bob and Shanji and Eureka.
Like, watching it, it seems like that these entertainers, and maybe just because
it's just the beginning, I don't feel that some of them have had enough life
experiences to, like, be on the show.
I don't want to mean about it. Yeah, I don't see the cohesion either in the girls.

(10:48):
There's no shade to them individually. I think they're all wonderful. but you
just don't get that these girls are like friends and they
click it seems like they just chose popular girls and put them together as opposed
to the first group you can tell that they had some sort of backstory together
yeah that they meshed well together but i think all of them had already known
each other from you know not only doing drag race but before drag race.

(11:13):
But these girls, I feel like they just need, you know, they just need to spend more time together.
Remember when the Fab Five changed? Remember the Fab Five was out?
Everybody knew them. Then they disappeared. And when they came back, it was Karama on them.
Yeah. And it's like, it took a while to really be like, okay, y'all work together.
The tea with that is some of them didn't even like each other. Oh, yeah. I know.

(11:33):
That's what it turned out to be. They could not stand each other.
That's why apparently they didn't go.
So they had to do some acting. they were totally acting
like these girls are on this new season of
we're here yeah not everybody i really got genuine feeling from jada 100 watching
her you know she had a nice emotional scene i believed it i feel like she has

(11:55):
had enough life experiences to actually feel some of this stuff because they
were going to places in tennessee i'm from tennessee and it's still probably one
of the most queer phobic place States that you can possibly go to.
Yeah. There are sectors in Tennessee where, you know, it's a little queer friendly,
but not everywhere. Not even in Memphis.
It's still so far back in time. And I feel like going to a place like Tennessee,

(12:20):
you would want people who could truly relate.
Eureka would have done amazing in this. Shangela would have done a great job.
And I feel like that's why they brought Latrice in because Latrice is from the South.
She also understands like how it is
and she's an older queen so she comes from she comes from
back in the day when it was tough to be loud out and proud
you know i just hope that it

(12:41):
picks up i'm happy for the girls like i
don't understand why they pick priyanka though that was the
only thing because when you think that canada and the united states
have like two totally different markets yeah i
just don't get the priyanka thing i guess no
you got to think of it don't look at it as a drag race thing look
at it as an hbo thing hbo has

(13:03):
watchers in canada too so if they're
not doing a canadian version of we're here it would be great to
have the representation that way it'd be more marketable in that country i guess
if they were looking to do something like that up there yeah you're right i
think it i think it shows the diverse the diversity with the cast well yeah
and she's a middle eastern queen like yeah she's from she has a totally different

(13:25):
background but But she also experiences racism there.
And a different type of racism. It's more vitriol there, I think I've seen, right? Yeah.
I would like to know what her point of view of the United States is as a Canadian.
Totally. I hope they do a better job of allowing her to talk about that more.

(13:47):
Because literally on the first episode, they go and they find these drag children in the community.
They put on these big drag shows. those three uncles drag child dropped out
because they were, they were openly queer.
I think they sang at baseball games and stuff.
And I think that they, even though that they were openly gay,
they thought that the drag side of it would just.

(14:08):
Ruin them because he still looked like he could pass as
a straight man and i get that down it's tough down south
like you know i've just gotten to the places where
i've started to be more colorful and be more of myself because it's
not as easy to do that without being scrutinized down
there you know whether it's from i mean it's tough
your own family or a stranger on the

(14:30):
streets it's it's tough it still is very behind
in time i can testify it's definitely different being
a northerner that had lived down south it is different
down there i mean it's tough all over but i feel
like people in the south have a tendency to point things out quicker than
other people will you know clear polish
uh clear nail polish on your nails because i want to make sure my nails look

(14:52):
good why is that a gay or straight thing but down there easily be like oh you
probably gay and i think that's it is tough i'm glad that they're doing it in
tennessee but i wish they would have led out Not with Latrice.
Sasha Ballou just doesn't fit it to me. I don't, no shade to her.
I just don't think she fits it.
I don't. I think this is the one time where I think, you know,

(15:14):
maybe they chose her because, I don't know.
She just doesn't fit it. I think Eureka was so much better at connecting.
I feel like trying to force her in with a group of ethnic women maybe wasn't the best move.
But I can say for in Sasha's defense, she's one of the top rated drag queen girls.
She i guess would have been the star power if you've never

(15:34):
seen the show you know who sasha but she's top rated see this
is where the problem for me is she's just we we've
ran into this with drag brunches because our audience is
straight they don't know who the hell she is oh no some people don't
watch drag race so they're none of them are top
rated to some of these straight people that they meet they're they
don't know who they are like and i think

(15:55):
that's another thing that i think most of these networks too
should learn to realize that you can really find
a drag star in a community and build them up it does not always have to be a
drag race queen in order to make these shows pop i feel like if you really truly
want deep connection and life experience you should search deeper i think latrice

(16:17):
is a perfect fit i think jada is also because these
two Queens know what it's like to be black in this country and queer.
It's tough. It is not easy.
I think Priyanka, you know, knows it from her side of it, but I don't think
it relates to what things are in this country.
You know i think i mean priyanka's got health care in canada so i'm sure she rehabs yeah.

(16:41):
Yes health care we just got obamacare good hair and health care okay and that
didn't even work but i mean watch the show don't listen to me you might things
might change they just started,
i still absolutely proud of all these girls and i wish them all the best and
i hope they do a good Good job and good luck, Smooches.

(17:04):
Anyway, the next show that I'm going to talk about, I'm excited about because
I love watching some all-stars.
We have this year's all-star is season nine.
I'm high, y'all. You can tell I'm high. I don't. Thank you so much.
You know, we smoke weed while we do this show.
This cast is small. I think that's what gagged me about this.

(17:25):
I'm like, it's only what, eight entertainers this time?
Entertainers and it's titled drag queens save the
world because we need them to save them and they're not sending
anyone home we can see everybody's looks
i think it's all based off a point system now
um and the winner they're the winnings go
it is donated to a charity that's beautiful i

(17:47):
do like that because most of the queens that you pick
for all stars are really established you know
with the exception i don't know much about chanel they dug her out the
grave funny yeah they did but chanel no
shade chanel you are fabulous boo i do
live for you i live for your drag nina also
but nina's been doing broadway and she's

(18:08):
been doing stuff so she's still out and about nina was one of my favorite ones
from from her season i remember oh okay i don't i don't i recognize her in audition
i think it was like the first season lady jazz i'm like i don't i'm not gonna
lie y'all i don't really watch she can't race like i used to before didn't she no i was out of town.
They did like a Disney thing. I wasn't here. I was performing somewhere else,

(18:30):
darling. You remember that so vividly.
I was trying to work it with her, though. She remembers not meeting her.
I did not meet her. I have nothing against Nina West. Don't try.
Don't try. But I'm excited to watch this season. I know most of them all will
have some amazing looks.
I mean, the only one that I can say that I don't really care for is got Meek up there, honey.

(18:51):
I got to work with that chick, and I'm telling you, she is
not she's the diva in a negative
way like there's divas that are divas like do your thing
bitch work it out she's making her money and there's divas
that are like girl don't forget we are all in drag and even though you on tv
bitch we've all are in drag and that doesn't give you the right to be rude with
anyone like i'm not gonna lie i must cuss that bitch out but you know well because

(19:15):
i love my friend chad i didn't do so i behaved and i also like to be
professional so it was just better to suck it up but
she definitely knew that i was not feeling how i did not
hide that if you know anything about sasha i don't hide
that there's no need there's no need yeah but i still
wish her well on the show i wanted to do good i think her drag is
nice i just don't like that personality my favorite

(19:38):
up there is 100 going to be george's and i
i love george's i got to hang out with
george's i got to smoke some weed with george's she
is definitely my kind of gal i live for
her hang out with she's amazing so much fun
to hang out so much so down to earth and she treats drag
like drag and jiria same thing i got to work at a show at the treasure island

(20:00):
casino with her it was amazing she was very down to earth she's a southern gal
you know vanjie down there too vanjie was also at i've done a show with vanjie
but it's been a while now i don't remember also someone fun southern gal real chill roxy andrews,
I don't want to spill the tea, but I'll be working with her soon. I'm excited.

(20:21):
Who do you think is going to win just off these contestants?
Who's your first thought off the top of your head?
Who's going to win this season? Well, because I know the tea, you know.
I'm not going to say, but who I thought was going to take this was Plastique or Georges. Yeah.
Like, no shade. Even Angeria. You know, I thought she could have had a chance.

(20:43):
Because Angeria, Ang would be having some sickening drag on,
honey. And then it was this a good cast period though, by the way,
I would say plastic notice and Matteo,
those are my top three my top three would be Roxy and Jeria and Georges okay
good that's a good top three my number one pick to win this whole season is Vanessa.

(21:08):
Vangie I think she's gonna
come and just I don't think she's gonna
win it but I think Vangie's just good for TV period she's good
for TV I think she's really great for TV but I think she's
gonna be really dead serious and she's gonna come through and be like no
bitches i actually came to win i'm not here
to make a hashtag or put it on a t-shirt girl i
came to take the ground some of them interest looks one right though i'm

(21:31):
just gonna leave it there because some people i probably wear some shit that
people think ain't right so it's okay like there's just my opinion honey it's
all right i did i love chanel's look on this picture she's chanel and plastique
are by far my favorite on On the promo, though, by the way, when it comes to look.
Their looks are just over, honey. Everyone looks stunning.

(21:56):
They look so good. But anyway, tune in to Paramount Plus to check out this year's season of All Stars.
I am so excited for those girls. They've been doing their little press tours.
They were on the Sherri Shepherd show.
Like, they've been doing their thing, honey. And again, I will always give kudos
to these girls who are in the drag race realm right now. Now,

(22:17):
thank you so much for what you do because you make it easy for a bitch like
me to get rich off of drag.
Bling, bling, bitches is mad. I just went.
But yeah, good job, divas. Good job. Speaking of divas.
What is up with the rap boys now? Did they take notes from Cardi B and Nicki Minaj?

(22:42):
The boys are being so allegedly, or you probably know a lot more about this.
Actually i do know that there were some shots fired the exact details like i haven't actually.
Wasn't able to get my research up on this particular topic
in particular however i did see
that recently there was a drive-by shooting out in front of drake's house apparently

(23:05):
where one of the guards was apparently hurt and i guess the news now is that
supposedly it's supposed to have been kendrick lamar sending it around to do
that i don't think it's not it's not true no it's It's not. I'm just saying
there's a lot of media out there.
They've been releasing like diss tracks back and forth to each other.
Yeah, they have each been releasing diss tracks. But isn't that what rap is though?

(23:26):
Isn't that what it was back in the day? I mean, I think rap went from one second
being like a message, a way to like tell you my story, but in my way.
And then it went to, you know, party rap where, you know, we dancing in the
club, we having a good time.
And then, of course, Biggie and Tupac were to me like the greatest beef.
I think they say LL Cool J, and I forget the other guy that he was beefing with.

(23:51):
And then, let's see, right before, Jay-Z and Nas also had to.
I think it was different.
I think now it has become like a social media frenzy of pettiness.
Like, I think these guys are just sitting up, calling each other names,
talking about BBLs, and Drake got a BBL, which I think Drake did get some work done.

(24:13):
Making the stallion kind of call him out on that. but like
so what if he did I mean but yeah but I
think what Megan said it was like he was dissing girls who do it but he also
went got his abs done boo allegedly that's what the kids say but I think the
beefs were more on the entertaining side before the killings and the shootings

(24:33):
and all that stuff once upon a time it was fun.
Even with these guys. But now when the violence kicks into it, that's the issue.
When the action comes. Yeah, when all the craziness comes. I think the difference
is, because you're exactly right, but I think the main difference is back in
the day, when you had a beef, you had to actually go get the album,
listen to it, point it out, have your friend be like, oh yeah,

(24:56):
they talking shit about such and such and such and such.
Then you go get the other person's album, then you listen to it and have to draw it and point it out.
And then you make the correlation yourself over what they were talking about.
And it just was more in depth.
And then you would get your magazine on Friday, Saturday, and it would be talking
about what you think is supposed to be.
But now, because information is so accessible immediately and with the advent

(25:20):
of social media, things like beefs are more popular again.
Because the kids in the 2000s and basically up until this point,
they didn't really have a way of staying directly in entertainment news.
But now you can. It's 24-7 all the time.
So every time a rapper says, I don't like someone at a bar in New York,

(25:44):
that person's still going to hear about it in LA because of how fast, you know, media.
I think it was entertaining before, again, when the violence,
because the girls, to me, their beeps are entertaining because they just read
each other and that's it.
Other than when Nicki Minaj, when Cardi B tried to beat Nicki Minaj up at the
Met Gala. That was when I was like, okay, it's going a little too far now.
But I think the girls kind of keep it cute and entertaining.

(26:07):
The boys just go to the next level, honey. They like, but I think because if
you ask me, female rap has been on such a high pedestal right now.
I think the boys are just beefing because they want them record sales on it.
Well, that's what I was- And they're trying to get the spotlight put back on
them outside of the vibe.
That's what I was saying today. All about clicks. A beef is definitely marketable

(26:28):
right now because everyone's going to be in your business about it.
And the girls did a good job of making beefs, at this point,
a little more mainstream.
Because like you said, back in the day, beef, they dissed track,
that was it, it went away.
But now in the age of social media, it's so much worse because you got your
fans commenting and saying, Ooh, did you see Drake?

(26:50):
Did you hear this? Right. Yeah.
But I think, again, these guys just need to sit down and talk.
Because some of this shit is petty, if you ask me. like chris brown
was supposedly beefing with the guy with
what's the other one i've said quavo supposedly he
was quaver he threatened to be quaver quavered and

(27:11):
i'm like girl y'all sound like a bunch of damn women now
like a bunch of crazy ass broad they're using
their fans to gaslight the other set of yeah it's
insane and i think to me personally it ain't
hot just bring out some good music we want to dance and
want to have a good time and drake definitely probably needs this
beat because his last album was a flip-flop to me

(27:32):
it's up i feel like drake just be doing music
for fun because he spends more time online gambling than
anything else oh yeah what because he's not really against
the rapper so it's like why are you even drake will sit and
play hundreds of thousands of dollars a day on
blackjack like it's nothing oh yeah i heard that led that
that's called an addiction but i'm a legend well he got money they ain't got

(27:53):
nothing enough to do or or he's sharing his penis pictures on twitter he's talking
about the leaked his half-heart leaked leaked to myself now i wonder did he
get his penis extended put that money back probably what she was making him.
What's the opposite of BBL? What can we call it? It's not a BBL. A DBL. A BBL. A BDL. Yeah.

(28:18):
Drake, are you guilty of the BDLs, honey? Oh, Lord.
Miss Honey guilty as charged according to Megan and now Kendra Lamar.
Kendra Lamar. Y'all stop that
beefing, honey. I'm sounding like somebody grandma. Sit y'all asses down.
Speaking of sitting their asses down, down i

(28:39):
had to sit my ass down and like suffer through more
trump news i'm only talking about
donald trump because this case with stormy
daniels has been quite entertaining now i do know that they tried to throw it's
called a mistrial because bringing up the sexual side of it was not really supposed
to happen in court was not necessary according to the defense and even according

(29:04):
to some of the lawyers i get to sit and watch talk back and forth they said that
They might be able to push this into a mistrial because of the comments, but I don't think so.
Anyway, allegedly Stormy Daniels has said that, you know, her and Trump had sex.
Not only did she have sex, she spanked him with a newspaper.
Yes, she said she spanked, she rolled up the newspaper and proceeded to spank

(29:27):
him on his butt while he was bent over in the missionary's chair. Oh my God.
Oh my goodness. I can't. Girl, I'm finna have nightmares.
Marriage yeah what's one of the good joke give us something it will i imagine
donald trump bent over in missionary
style i i can i can't imagine it i i just have so many questions.

(29:50):
Stormy daniels is gonna spank my big beautiful ass it's gonna be amazing is
it just them and then first of all they're in the kitchen when is donald trump
there's clearly a full staff No, they're in a hotel.
Oh, they're in a hotel. Okay, I don't know what I'm... Let me give you the setting
because I don't think they researched this.
They were at a celebrity golf tournament at Donald Trump's hotel.

(30:13):
Okay. Donald Trump's security, I think, was on the outside of the hotel or assistant
or something like that. I missed that part.
Okay. But allegedly, she came up there with Donald Trump to chill.
That's what she thought. She went into the bathroom. Now, I do think some of this is lying.
I don't personally think she's telling all of the truth. but she said she went
into the bathroom came back out Donald Trump had his pants off and had a t-shirt

(30:35):
on and he was half nude mhm,
Oh, no, she said boxers. Boxers. T-shirt. Laying on the bed in boxers.
Laying on the bed in boxers and T-shirt. That's a sight that I can't get out of my head.
And then they showed the picture of what he looked like during that time. Oh, my God.
Still look orange. Still look wrinkled. I'm just, to be a fly on the wall. To be a girl.

(30:58):
I would want to gouge all of my twinny eyeballs out if I was a fly in the room, honey. Oh, no, no, no.
Can you imagine what Melania Trump feels like? like listen imagine what his
son that was there that day had to hear how his dad liked to get it from behind
missionary style with a newspaper with a newspaper a low quality paper at that

(31:18):
listen i'm surprised you don't have anything funny to say about trump bit of a missionary,
getting hit by a newspaper i'm not going so the
only thing i can say is that he kind of spanked our economy so
i guess he's getting spanked in return we need to
what we need to do is get a wonder woman outfit
and make it stormy daniels testify

(31:40):
day and he already paid her to be
quiet and now she has to talk well now we i mean you did pay her to be quiet
though so like it's some truth to it and they tried to you know they got some
of the testimony thrown out they i just can i can i point this out though doesn't that man like Like,

(32:01):
wasn't there just another trial about not money laundering, but it was for. Insexual harassment.
Yeah. Jean Huth-Arrell. She won that though. Yeah. Okay.
I just feel like it's just, it's crazy. The man is still currently running for
president, correct, at this point? Yes.
Okay, so. And he's the Republican front runner. Back in the day,

(32:21):
that would have mattered.
Right. So, I mean, I feel like, yeah, just having a court.
But wouldn't you, as someone running for president, just be like,
okay, I'm going to just wait until the trials and stuff is over just to make
life easier on me? A normal person would.
But he's like, no, I didn't do it, and I'm about to be president.
But his denial is what's keeping his
base with him yeah because again i do

(32:43):
think that if he loses this case
the reason why he's going at it because trump trump is
not dumb he's already screaming rigged he's
already saying the jury could be fixed he's already
saying new york is deep blue and they
are not going to be they're not very trump friendly there he's
already setting in the table that if he loses this case that he's

(33:05):
gonna scream like foul play because this is damaging
for someone like him who have tons of
christians behind him saying trump is a god-fearing man
like but they're still behind him because even after he had to pay gene like
well yeah because that one i could see why they probably wouldn't believe all
of that testimony it happened so long ago you know i can understand but the

(33:27):
stormy daniels i think is still it's close enough pre Pre, yeah,
pre-2020. Pre-2020, exactly.
I think this, because there are a lot of people who still are not Republican
enough that will be like, maybe I shouldn't vote for Donald Trump.
You know, this will definitely, because clearly he lies. A lot of them just put blinders on.
And a lot of them do. They call all of this fake media. They call this the stunt and fake.

(33:51):
Well, his supporters, I keep saying, not all of them are like,
but some of them are not the sharpest tools in the shed, you know.
And that's no spade to them. Some YouTube videos of Trumpers being interviewed and we would hear the.
Their comments and they are so ignorant to anything to especially like trump

(34:12):
and what he's doing because he went down to rule america where people don't
look at tv or read newspapers and again not all these people are not dumb i'm
not gonna call no not everyone but they are definitely,
socially unaware they're socially unaware of outside
of their immediate circle yes and he went
down and did something that other politicians don't do because they've

(34:34):
pretty much and this is shame on all the politicians they
pretty much remove these americans out of their
mind out of their thought process trump took advantage of
it because that's what he is a scummy guy took advantage of people who don't
know and now these people will believe anything that he says unfortunately and
yeah i like to watch a lot of those youtube videos jazzy and it's funny as hell

(34:56):
to listen they talk the bad subject but then they talk the person around in
a circle and it's like Like,
you're okay with Trump doing it, but anybody else doing it, it's bad.
And that's my favorite part. And you're like, you're okay with him basically
doing the same thing, but you'd be mad if she didn't.
They should have hypocrisy while they're interviewing. Exactly.

(35:16):
Kudos to those interviewers, too. Because they ask them questions to set the
table for their foolishness every time.
Because they'll say, you'll ask them a question, and they'll be like, oh, no, I don't get this.
And then it was like, well, Trump did this on this day and this day. well how
do you know that you can't believe the news well you
just believe this so easily yeah i

(35:36):
love how people they're showing like how the trumpers think these people don't
even believe in half of the shit that he's talking all he did was allow them
to bring their true colors their ugliness out in the world and they feel safe
to do it and thanks to people like donald trump who doesn't give a shit about
none of them at the end of the day and that's unfortunate they'll see it If
he becomes president again,

(35:56):
they will see it because this man has no, he does not have good intentions.
But this is why I love moments where he gets humiliated from being a God-fearing
man, but cheated on his wife with a porn star that he paid and got spanked by
a newspaper. I cannot unsee that.
Oh, a caption that I was thinking of is, make newspapers great again.

(36:18):
Oh my God, we'll put that on the shirt. Newspaper companies are closing.
Closing and oh my god that is crazy hit me again stormy i'm gonna be president
i guess you could say she was giving him hard-hitting news or she hit him millions
and millions and millions of times,

(36:40):
hit him with the topics oh my goodness go ahead stormy dame,
i was a song i would sue him too if i had to spank his ass on it i would sue
him I bet she has look at her she looks like that the thought of it torments
her soul these pictures are not I mean he paid to play and now he's mad that he's getting caught,

(37:02):
Well, but it's not even the fact that he paid. It's not the fact that he did play.
It's the fact that he tried to cover up the hush money with campaign finance. Yes. Yeah.
And he's calling. Well, he's doing that now. They're literally taking finances
from campaign and paying his court legal fees.
And he's doing that now. Like Trump.

(37:25):
Dirty business. Yeah. Dirty business. Trump. Dirty business. Anyway, y'all.

is getting nice the weather is fine getting nice

(40:05):
i know i went outside we've been going outside lately smoking our weed i really
enjoy it though quick little smoke around the button yeah i live downtown so
sometimes i do like miss being like right next to a park or close to a lake
i have to walk and i'm like
bitches don't feel like walking past 10 different people asking

(40:27):
me for money yes oh my goodness now
if i left it upstairs every two steps somebody asking me
for money honey i'm good i just try to man i just i'd be praying i could just
get to the store and back without someone stopping me asking me for something
one dude today asked me to he said can i pay you a dollar to make a phone call
for me i said i can't even do it my phone broke he was like like that's the

(40:49):
oldest damn I'm scared to try to take off my phone. Not today.
You're not even going to see my phone. I don't have a phone.
I use telepathy in this mug. I be like, COVID still exists. I don't let people use my phone.
Oh, my goodness. One time when I was out smoking around the corner,
you know, a girl actually hit my joint.
She was like, oh, you got a cigarette? It's not a cigarette.
Oh, can I hit it? No. No, you should not.

(41:10):
I do not know you. Audacity. I just walk on by. You just ignore them.
I just ignore them. I know. Is that bad?
No, that's not bad. usually i just i it depends
on the question i'll ignore i get pulled in
sometimes i get pulled in i'm like i make eye contact damn
it yeah you make eye contact it's over it's over i

(41:31):
mean we me and greg we went to target one day and this
guy came walked up to us outside waiting for uber
and you know he's well dressed and he's like
oh well i need to he asked for
he in a roundabout way he asked us for money to
get an uber so that he can get to where
he's getting because his car is about to be towed and

(41:51):
it'll be out the next day it was
just a bunch of left-hand questions you already well he lost me
that's how i knew it was yeah but anyway i told greg no we don't we don't greg
is very good at like he already has a hardcore resting bitch face greg just
totally paid the man and then when he walked away what did he say i was like

(42:11):
did you not hear him he's He's like, no, I wasn't paying attention.
He pulled that phone out and got right on Twitter, honey. He was not having it. I think...
Part of it comes from being well-dressed, I feel like, because I like to be
dressed up a lot. People are always asking me for stuff.
I look like I can spare it, but I really can't.
I cannot trust me. Whatever dollar I was about to give for you is actually going

(42:35):
to my next pair of shoes right now.
On a bag of chips, because I got the money. Let me stop. Let me stop. Yeah.
I am happy that the weather's nice. I plan on doing some nice picnics here in
the scene, because I don't like going to the gay bars here anymore.
It's just on for me being a show director of a show it's just too much it's

(42:55):
too messy i don't have time for it i'm ready for the rooftops and patios yeah
we start on our rooftop this weekend we're doing mama mia sunday and crave and
saturday is the 2000s drag brunch oh fun yeah.
Inside joke i'll tell y'all when we get off to the bike but uh yeah i'm excited

(43:16):
to be outside like Like it's probably my best when I love doing drag the most.
If you want to see me do some splits and shit, the sunshine definitely motivates
me like this bones get all warmed up. They're not clicking like they used to.
And I'm splitting and tumbling and everything on the rooftop.
Come check it out. You'll see.
I know I'm excited next week. We're going to EDC in Las Vegas.

(43:40):
Oh, that's the electric daisy car. Yeah, that's that sounds like when I've always
wanted to go, So, but I don't care enough to actually make the trip.
Like, I've never had friends who are like, oh, bitch, we're going.
You got to go to see her. Because you lived in Vegas.
I did. I didn't go to the EDC. I remember because when you work somewhere,
you have a tendency to not want to go do stuff that's there.

(44:01):
And then I was a ticket agent for different stuff.
So I was selling tickets and stuff. So I had offers to go to stuff.
You also was a seat filler, right?
Yeah. When I lived in Vegas. Yeah, we were all seat fillers.
Me, my roommates, my brother, and my stepsister. We were all seat fillers.
That was fun. That's how I almost met Kelly Rowland.
Oh, nice. She's nice. Yep. That's how Michelle Williams shaded me.

(44:26):
She shaded you she shaded me i saw we had got
i was in the line of sea fillers they had went ahead i stopped
to tie my shoe they had started letting celebrities in i
guess directly behind us so i was in
this long dark hallway under the stadium and michelle
williams was walking by i know who michelle
williams is i was like because she was kind of behind me so i

(44:47):
realized i'm standing up out of the dark turning around to
be like are you michelle williams and she was like yeah she
like had clutched her bag and like was backing up all slow and you could clearly
see her look for i was like okay at that moment i was like okay michelle well
it was great to meet you bye and i just walked away you like girl you ain't
even the most famous girl first of all i love you you like girl where is beyonce,

(45:14):
that was shane that was shane i love all three of them i do i do too i love
all three weren't you with beyonce a couple years right i was like oh girl no
i'm really not looking for if y'all were looking for Beyoncé.
That's what I was about to ask. That was my next question.
No need to clutch your purse, girl. I have no interest.
Why don't you reach down in there and give me Jay-Z's phone number so I can
get an album deal in this mug, okay?

(45:36):
I'm a writer. Like, yeah, no interest. Sorry, Michelle, we love you,
but I was worried about Beyoncé, honey.
That had to have been fun doing a job like that. I'd be a terrible seat filler,
because, again, if you give me a bad seat, that's a seat that I ain't gonna feel.
They'd be like, you have to sit here. I'd be like, hell no. that is the
difficult part for someone like you they control where you go

(45:56):
until they put you in like the holding area you really can't
go because they'll tell you because i remember jeremy got
up to use the bathroom and somebody brought him right back and was like you
got to wait till commercial break and he was like oh well how long is
that gonna be he was like well you're gonna have to
wait and see but yeah sure okay okay i
mean i still would have that's gotta be a fun job though because

(46:17):
you're sitting but most of the time you're filling seats that are gonna be seen
or celebrities yeah yeah you'd be sitting around celebrities
i didn't really i knew we were going to be around celebrities but
we were in like the same rows like and i feel
like we got lucky we were in like third fourth to the right so i could see the
celebrities around me and i was like you probably at one point we were like

(46:38):
i wonder who seats these are and we were like oh i don't know we don't know
but they they'll come the people will come and move you around so you never
really get to meet anything.
Oh, that's kind of dope, though. It is dope. Yeah, it is pretty dope.
That was entertaining. Mm-hmm.
Are y'all gonna get a lot of weed
while y'all there of course I mean it's Vegas they got
one of the largest dispensaries in the country so we are gonna

(47:01):
go shopping I like that one I don't know I don't remember the name
but they give you your shit in like a Willy Wonka looking bag that looks like
you're buying candy it's not planet 13 no it's not planet 13 it is planet 13
is it yeah cause planet 13 makes it look all like cutesy and artsy you like
walk in and they have like they bottle their own beverages and stuff oh it is
planet 13 yeah Yeah, it's planet 13.

(47:24):
That's going to be fun. I'm excited. I haven't been in... And y'all going is
going to be super damn hot, though.
Whatever. You ready for it.
It'll be cooler when we're out. Yeah, it'll be cold at night.
The desert does get pretty cold at night. I learned that from going to California the hard way.
Do you have your outfits picked out for the EDC? Yes, we do.

(47:48):
I'm going in drag one day. It's the first day. I'm wearing a lavender look.
Made by her lavender lavender haze by her and then we also are matching the
other two dates let me guess you're gonna wear a pair of assless chaps with
how did you know a go on the dark harness.
It's actually rhinestone I rhinestone a full look it's animal print pink and

(48:11):
animal print oh you finna slay that's gonna look good got a fully rhinestone
look from my hat my shirt and my shorts oh you finna slay that's gonna slay
did you start as both stone,
Mine is stone. He's not. Mine is completely stone.
Oh, that's going to be, that's going to stay, especially when the sun is out, the lights hitting it.
That's going to be dope. And then, so he's also got a like animal print look.

(48:33):
And then the other night we're doing like a leather.
Leather-esque look. Leather accent look, but bright colors. With the rhinestone mesh tops. Oh, cute.
I'll be yellow and Aaron will be blue. The whole week I'm on Power Ranger. I'll be stoned crazy.

(48:54):
While wearing stones. While wearing stones. Jasmine, you had an announcement you wanted to make. I do.
Are you ready to hear it? Yes, I am ready to hear it. I'm pregnant. What?
I knew it. I'm five months along. I knew it.
Where's your marriage certificate drag daughter that's gonna be born
soon she her name
is tiramisu i love the name she loves food and she wanted her name to be after

(49:19):
her favorite dessert did you help her pick her name no i didn't she she knew
it right away that's sickening tiramisu that's sickening i met her through a
non-profit organization that i'm I'm working with.
And this certain program is a mentorship program.
And so I'm mentoring her and teaching her about drag.
And the organization is Hmong and AAIP Focus.

(49:44):
That's amazing. And already I could tell you, this is, for those of you who
don't know, I know there've been some bad C-cassidines, but this is what my drag family is about.
That's true, girl. You know, I kind of tell like it is. But anyway,
the ones who you don't get to to see all the time that i've
picked with my own hand are loving and caring so you having a daughter that

(50:05):
fits you is amazing like because that's exactly what drag families are about
you want to pull people in that you can like vibe off of each other's positive
energy i like that congratulations thank you can't wait to meet my grandchild.
I'm going to bring it over. I'm getting old, girl. Y'all making me feel old.
Camille got 19 children already.

(50:26):
I thought it was 23. I'm just saying, Camille. It's 23.
My one child is enough. Yeah, Nasiri has one.
My child went off to college. I ain't having no more kids. Yeah,
you're not having no more.
I can't have any kids. Camille gets them all.
Anytime she sees a poor child out there, she just, let me stop. Just kidding.

(50:48):
Just kidding. no i love i love my nieces and
nephews i really do i think camille has a cute little yeah we have
a wonderful drag family i love our family we definitely
need to take advantage of the the weather and get outside
and do some like nice family things i'm
in my mind i would have loved to did like a family
field day yes like all the different drag families

(51:09):
come out in their different color shirts and yes play different games
like we did field day in school that would be so bomb i
think we should actually plan that we should plan it
for like the end of the summer maybe like for real like at the
end of july i think it'd be positive it'll be something to
put drag families in a different light because in minnesota
in minneapolis i'll say i don't know about abroad i

(51:29):
know i only know like what it's been here and it's been.
Quite it's been drama and unfortunately that's
not what we're all about i feel like people spend more time
getting to know our personas versus our personal
owners you know if i may yeah like there's
there's sasha and then there's harry and get to know
him and that's all i'm saying they are two different people yeah

(51:51):
they are two totally different sasha about her business she
want to make her money and do her job to the best of
her ability and harry likes to smoke video games play play
video games smoke plenty of weed they made a
video game blind hangout smoking they probably do they
probably do got some the mario the kirby down

(52:12):
i'm down but anyway i think i'd love to create
something that we all get it together and it'd be good to
show my grandkids like that side of it so they can understand that it's not
a popularity contest the casadines don't care about being the most popular drag
family that's not what we're into we're into love and nurturing each other and
supporting each other when we need to be and then we just happen to be good

(52:34):
at what we do that we can't help that,
that's why our crest is a peacock darling there you go and help how we're born that's the Casadine.
Yeah, that's the Casadines. But anyway, we got to move on with the show.
Shout outs because I want to wrap this thing up and go home and wrap some weed
up in one of those nice little joint papers. That sounds like a plan.

(52:54):
If you want to go see some drag, there's no excuse because there's so many shows
around here in the Twin Cities, and we don't tell you about them.
First off, we got the Gay 90s.

And R.I.P. Barbara Gordon, y'all.
I don't know if you've heard it really quickly. She passed away.

(55:52):
She was definitely very impactful in my life.
If it wasn't for her, I would not be a drag brunch queen that you see today
doing them crazy things. R.I.P. Barbara Gordon. Yeah.
Definitely R.I.P. Plenty of condolences. I definitely will say that I don't
think there has been or is now a show that even comes close to the type of show
Barbara Gordon was producing.

(56:14):
I would love to have that type of thing in our city right now. It's an amazing show.
And Roxy's, because there's more drag in school for you. We got Monday karaoke

have a game system hooked up.

That is a impersonation show where the drag performers there give you all kinds of famous divas of old.
