Me, me, me, me, do, re, fa, so, la, ti, do.
I don't even think that was right. But hello, I'm back. It's been a while.
When the lemon is dry, the lemon is dry.
And at one moment it was pretty chilly here and now it's pretty hot.
So my lemon trees weren't blooming. This ain't California, honey. This is Minneapolis.
(00:20):
You know, I don't know why I say that, but I'm stoned, of course.
It's been wonderful. I've been doing lots of fun things while I haven't been
recording. Of course, you know, it's drag, drag, drag central over here.
I also had the pleasure of going to an escape room. I think that was my first
time going to an escape room. I didn't know what to expect.
(00:40):
I thought I was going to be pretty bored, but it was really fun. I had a good time.
That was your first time? I think that was my first time. It's been so long
since I've done. I've done so many good things.
Before I start this, I'm joined by my co-host today, Greg E. and Mr. E.O.
Cassadine. Stereo Castanon in the building. Yes, yes. Oh, you didn't say hello. Oh, hello.
(01:03):
The escape room, it really was fun. It's really interesting.
It does give you a chance to see a different side of people.
Like you could really be close friends with someone for a long time and then
you really don't know them until you see how they work, how they attack a challenge.
We went with a good group of people because we escaped. so i knew
we had everybody functioned in some kind of way
(01:26):
in the escape room i think we would be a perfect match in a
zombie apocalypse i'm just saying that was also
i think the hardest one there that they really
offer i believe so i think it only got hard to me when we got in like the library
it got yeah everything else was kind of simple i was thinking of like resident
evil while i was playing the whole time well he did say when we started he was
(01:48):
like the one that we were doing was the only one that you have to have at least
two people because it was two separate cells.
Yeah, I just thought, what would Leon and Claire Redfield do?
It was fun. I had a good time. I went with some really, really good friends.
It was my first time. That was your first time to skate? It was sick.
Yeah, that was fun. I would do it again.
It was my first one, too. I definitely want to do something again.
(02:08):
The highlight was when I found out the shape of the numbers on the bookshelf,
and then they wrote the message, like, yes, queen.
Really? Oh, yeah, on the books. Oh, yeah. Yeah, love what we call the moderators.
Yeah, the moderators. The game moderators. They were fabulous.
Escape Room in the Mall of America, check it out. It was a good time.
Yes. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth it.
They did say if you escape, you get a chance to buy an Escape t-shirt.
(02:33):
That was the only downside. I'm like, can I not get it for free because I escaped? But I guess.
I guess. That's me just being bougie and wanting free shit. They gave us stickers and a keychain.
Yeah, I can't be too upset about that.
Went to the state fair this year. Didn't get to do much because I don't like to ride shit.
I only ate a few things. The things that I got a chance to nibble on,
(02:56):
I will never nibble on again.
If y'all hear the squeaky toy, there's my dog Charlotte in the background.
For some reason, she wanted to grab this damn toy and bite on it while I'm recording.
Joining us for this edition of Glamisque. She's like, where's my damn microphone?
Let me bring in the sound bites for you. She said, damn, I stayed there because
I didn't get shit from it. But anyway, it was all right. She got her toy.
(03:20):
Oh, she did. She got a pizza you found on the ground out there.
You didn't have to say you did fine
i brought i brought it for her it was like
i did yeah you did find the pizza
and bring and brought it to charlie she's grateful but right
now she i wish she was playing with that quiet pizza when he did it too it was
funny because you know i always observe the area when you see stuff on the floor
(03:42):
it's like who's gonna grab it first and as soon as eo did a little swoop up
i saw someone like side eye like damn i should have done that yeah Yeah,
they looked like they wanted to pick it up.
Don't be shy, honey. It's laying on the ground. Just pick that shit up.
It was such a stupid thing to really want off the ground.
That's all there was. That's all I was like, dog, fine, but yeah,
nothing. Whatever. Yeah, whatever.
(04:03):
I wouldn't have picked it up and gave it to no child. No. At least not before washing.
Right, right. No. I mean, a child probably would have been grateful.
It's a free stuffed animal. I know as a kid, I probably would have been okay
with a free stuffed pizza pizza.
We went to the fair with Lucy. It was fun.
Delicious sirloin tips All the sirloin tips are my favorite I had them the year
(04:26):
before that And got to get some this year I did not get any duck wings That
was sad They're tasty I mean you can't like,
Overeat them You'll get tired of them quick Because the meat is definitely different
From like chicken If you're used to eating chicken And they gate kept the cookies
from us No they didn't gate keep the cookies We just went to the cookies late
Because y'all wanted to ride them whack ass rides Wow,
(04:48):
Those rides are rad I don't see how people ride the fare rides after looking
at too many final destination movies those rides reek of Final destination, honey.
They just scream it. That's all I was talking about because I went two days and.
With shit falling apart. Final destination. Yeah. But I watched those videos
from like China and Russia.
Where their rides actually fall apart. Right. And then y'all got on this zigzag
(05:11):
ride where it looked like they was locking y'all up in a cage.
That wasn't fun. To bury you underground. It just, it wasn't fun.
Yeah, that was crazy. It didn't look fun.
It looked like y'all were like compressed in there. And then you were going
around. It was rattling you in that shit.
I would never ride. It was supposed to be flipping. We were supposed to.
It was supposed to be flipping, honey. But she was rattling,
honey. Honey, I thought the cages was going to fall.
(05:32):
I really, really did. Can you get the toy from her? Are you going to continue
to let her just sit and squeeze it? Thank you kindly.
Thank you so very much. Thank you.
Anyway, outside of the State Fair, God bless having a dog, y'all.
I love her so much. But she is like going in on that one particular toy right now.
She just knows that because we're making more noise than her.
(05:54):
And she's like, no, I need to get a lot of bitch in this household.
No, no, no, bitch. We took your toy.
Anyway, no, y'all love my dog. No worries. She's spoiled. Speaking of spoiled,
because I want to move past the fair and the escape room, all of the fun, juicy stuff.
It was fun watching Kamala Harris spank Donald Trump's ass on that debate stage.
(06:17):
I've never, like, for real, like Donald Trump said, like never seen before.
Kamala Harris spanked me. She wore him out.
I don't think he stood a chance. And I think you said he was his worst enemy.
He is. She baited him so well in that debate to get him upset because I love debating in school.
So I actually could see all of her technical moves, how she pulled him into a rant.
(06:41):
Even so much more that we have to now worry about our cats and dogs being eaten
by a Haitian transsexual immigrant. and Springfield are eating the pets.
That's what he said. He said because of the border. Donald Trump talked about
a lot of stuff that didn't make sense. Yeah, co-fefe.
The thing about Kamala is that, first and foremost, she was a litigator.
(07:04):
She was a lawyer or whatever and a judge, and she did all of that stuff.
So it's like she already knew how to give a good speech.
She knew how to debate, and she really used that against him.
Like she did her absolute best job basically just making him sound stupid.
Yeah, making him mad so he can go on his little tirades about like.
(07:26):
And did you notice that like no matter what he said, he repeated the same things,
the border, the economy.
What else did he say? Voting up rigged elections.
Just the same three talking points each time. He really he was trying to stay focused.
That's what I was saying. You could tell he's had some sort of training or they
had meetings or whatever. He was trying to stay focused, but he can't retain that much.
(07:47):
He can't talk about everything that he really wants to talk about.
So he stuck with the three things that he was going to keep going on.
Well, he did say that he went to debate prep, but I couldn't see it.
No, he failed that. Yeah, he definitely failed and went right on Fox News.
I think the worst thing about this debate is for me is that when Trump loses,
he always has to come up with an excuse.
The excuse was it was three against one, that she allegedly had a microphone
(08:11):
in her ear and they were feeding her answers.
She seemed really really prepared for the questions i'm like
duh it's a debate why wouldn't she be prepared and i just again this we're in
the damn twilight zone i'm telling you we are in the twilight zone when it comes
to the the funny thing is if he said that she got a mic in her ear and they're
(08:32):
giving her the answers well why didn't you do the same fucking thing where the fuck is.
They probably put a mic in Trump's ear and he wouldn't listen to that shit anymore.
But I don't know. So my favorite thing from the whole debate was just Kamala's looks.
Like after a certain question or listen to him talk when it was cut to her and
she just had that look like, girl.
And she was looking at Smurka like a messy queen. It was so funny.
(08:54):
Like a messy queen. Like a messy queen, baby.
She got his ass once she said that his rallies were boring.
Oh, I loved it. Yeah, she said that people leave early because they're boring.
And he had prepared whatever prep that he was all out the window.
He was like, let me just get one thing. He said, how dare you talk about my crowd sizes.
(09:18):
He said, no one goes to Kamala's rallies. No one's there.
And mind you, she had one of the biggest DNC convention outings.
Do you notice he got so upset when you said something about his crowd size?
Like, for real. When she mentioned the crowd size, that dude flipped out.
Out because evidently like barack obama said
crowd sizes are very important to him but
(09:38):
policies are what did he say we don't
have plans we have a concept he has a concept yeah he has
a concept of everything else a lot of his campaign this time around was just
showing that he had people actually supporting him and then when you actually
look back behind the curtain he really didn't so i think what sucked the only
person that sucked for me was hulk hogan and i should have known better because
(09:59):
I'm an 80s baby and we loved Hulk Hogan movie children.
We looked at the cartoons. We had the teddy bears.
I had all the wrestling dummies and I've torn a few Hulk Hogan, Hulkamania tank tops.
Now, if I could go, if I could turn back time, boo, I can't.
It makes me doubt all the wrestlers now just because of Hulk Hogan.
(10:19):
And I do know that all of them are not.
And no shade, if you're voting for Donald Trump, that is absolutely fine. I just think that.
Can you realistically say within all of your heart and all of your mental,
everything in you that this is a good candidate for president?
He can barely even hold himself together in the debate.
When he talks at rallies, he
talks about Hannibal Lecter and sharks being electrocuted by boat engines.
(10:44):
And come on, people. Like, for real. Like, again, we are in the.
That's comical. Wildlife zone.
Oh, yeah. He's hilarious as hell. I mean, Kamala, she said that she wants to
do a second debate against him because she doesn't believe there was enough said.
And he said the first thing that fighters do after a match, when whatever,
(11:04):
when they felt like they lose, is want a rematch or something.
Like he's basically saying she lost that. No, girl, she's trying to give you
a chance to redeem yourself, honey, because you're the one who came up with
the concept of people eating cats and dogs.
I think that's what we need to talk about. She definitely wanted to talk more about that.
Yeah, of course. This bitch was like, please debate against me again.
(11:27):
The way that her face said it all for us when he said that was...
And I think the moderator...
I love the way... Yeah, the way she... Her face was so funny.
I have to get me some shirts made with Kamala Harris's. Like,
bitch, this bitch is out of her mind. She said. She wanted to call him a motherfucker.
She did. And this person...
(11:48):
And you know us people of color. Color, I'm going to tell you,
we know when you're about to curse, y'all. We can look and see when a person
of color, especially a black person, is about to curse.
And when she paused, I laughed because I knew she wanted to say, this motherfucker.
She pursed them lips. Yeah, she pursed them.
Kamala, I love you. I'm voting for you because serious, little serious talk now, darling.
(12:11):
I really do like that she wants to move the country forward.
I do like the idea of a female president. I think in this country,
if we want to continue to move things forward, we have to stop electing white
men or men just in general.
And we have to be open minded to making sure these offices suit the people that
they are trying to provide for.
Meaning this country is multiracial. It was built off of immigrants.
(12:34):
Our offices should look very immigrant friendly.
So I'm happy that she's running. I know they've been spinning like nobody knows her policy.
Nobody really knows her. That's the only thing I don't like about the news,
too. It's like we want change.
The media always tries to sow some doubt for views.
I have to. The only thing that I think Trump does speak truth to.
(12:55):
It's the corruption of media. Fox News definitely shows that and also other media.
They show that. Takes full advantage of.
Yeah, they do. He takes full advantage of Fox's ignorance.
But, you know, he also takes advantage of all the other liberal medias,
too, and how hard they are to push their agendas and views on it.
I think, again, I appreciate that she's trying to move it forward and she even
(13:18):
wants to put like Republicans in her office and everything.
Thing she's working with you know the obviously logical-minded republicans that
can understand both viewpoints right yeah i congratulations kamala harris on
a fabulous debate kamala.
Say my name nice to meet you kamala harris when she walked up and gave him the
(13:39):
handshake i was like girl she begged him in the corner like a bitch honey he
was shaking Akon. Akon. Akon.
Speaking of shaken, before we talk or go into a commercial real quick,
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice did not have the juice. Oh, good.
People are going to be mad, but I know I just got to be honest, honey.
(14:00):
I liked the idea of this movie. Of course, I love Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice. I don't know.
I didn't feel the magic that I felt from the first one.
And maybe it's because i really in
love with the first one so i wasn't willing to allow my i'm trying to be i'm
trying to be somewhat nice positive about it but i just thought that it just
(14:22):
didn't have it it did not have the juice now that you said it like that i can
say that you definitely have to take this movie for what it is and try your
best not to compare it to the,
I tried, I tried, I tried to say it.
You know, I loved it. I just didn't like the ending. Oh, God.
(14:44):
Yeah, that was, oof. It was.
And why bring, God, why bring, what's his name again?
What's his name? Deeks, Daddy Deeks. Like the whole side storyline?
Yeah, what was his name again? The actual actor? Deeks. Oh. Was it Charles Deeks?
Yeah, Charles. Was it Charles Deeks? I think it was Charles.
Anyway, I did not like that they decided to do the shark thing for him.
(15:06):
I feel like, yeah, the real actor was accused of some sexual allegations.
We do know that. So if you don't know, now you know. You can look it up.
But I think they should have just killed him off and killed him off.
Like, it was okay to just kill him off. That was where they went wrong, number one, with me.
And then they just drew it all the way out.
I love, love Catherine O'Hara. Am I pronouncing that right?
(15:27):
She was absolutely amazing. amazing i think
everything she has touched so far has been golden her
role i mean and as i was kind of
thinking back about it more she does give kind
of more moira in beetlejuice that's
why i think you know it kind of threw me off i disagree
i didn't see more at all in beetlejuice i just saw because
(15:48):
when it came to like the comical humor like her like i didn't
i didn't get more i just thought i would disagree with the moral thing but
i didn't see i did like that they paid homage to
her in the art gallery tomorrow with the
crows yeah i did like that but i didn't really
get more from this character i did get what's her i
think what's mama's name delia delia deeks i'm high as hell y'all know when
(16:10):
i do this podcast i'll be stoned so if i forget names blame it on the marijuana
okay you know who i'm trying to say yeah i thought she was pretty good i did
not like what they did with lydia's character and the way y'all explained it
to me now and adulting her fine i was
going along everybody says life's changed for her she got married she
grew a heart and she became a depressed pill
(16:31):
dependent woman i i think the
maitlands had a good effect on lydia she became more of a normal human like
she still was her gothy dark self but once she learned how to use her power
and to you know live life a happy life because delia i mean lydia wasn't a happy
(16:52):
teenager no they moved in no she was not she didn't seem like a happy woman either.
Well you think only because so we're so for me
we're picking up on her at a point where things are
starting to go backwards a little bit
like she's been doing good for so long and now you see that you know but that
would have been good that would have been good for a lifetime movie honey this
is be the juice you're paying 13 you're just talking about one you're just talking
(17:16):
about one character 15 and some change for popcorn and candy i feel you're just
upset because Lydia wasn't the Lydia that you,
right i thought the movie was gonna give me some sass like they they
had that good part at the end but that to me went way
too long because i love me a good donald summer song i
feel like the hell bet jenna ortega i feel like she should have been like she
(17:36):
almost was she was almost minimized yeah and i also think beetlejuice was minimized
i don't think they gave me enough of him i don't personally think jenna was
minimized at all because she got her whole little like like, love story,
side story, which was, I think, not necessary.
It was, like, forced.
Yeah, it was. Her character did not show, like, an interest at all into Boris.
(17:59):
Like, it just kind of, like, oh, like, I'm an awkward, I don't know.
I guess it's supposed to, like, you know, relate to a different audience,
you know what I mean? Like, kids that... This is what happened. We rely on AI, everyone.
We need people to be writing our movies again.
Make America. Because we won't spoil the ending,
but there's just a lot of shit going on, it was long
(18:20):
i will also say they they didn't write
her to be like lydia i think that was
part of it she should have been more like lydia when lydia was that age then
that would have made more sense as to why our lydia had a different mindset
than what i'm sorry this is this conversation is getting rather drab see this
is why the movie is not good because we're having deep conversation about
(18:44):
Beetlejuice. We should be excited.
Which Beetlejuice? I'm certainly not excited.
Beetlejuice gets that thumbs up from me. But if you're not into camp and everything
or if you really are going to watch it because you want to relive the magic
of watching Beetlejuice.
Baby, this movie was like watching a Lifetime movie. So it gets a thumbs down
from me. I like the idea of it.
(19:07):
We didn't even talk about the quote unquote villain. See, this is again. That's why I said no.
That we lost. We just lost our way.
So again, if you want to see Beetlejuice because you love Beetlejuice, go see it. It is cute.
It is campy. There's a lot of things that will bring joy, ghoulish joy to your heart.
But if you're going to see a great movie, just wait till it comes out.
(19:28):
Wait until you can sit in your couch.
Yeah, you can definitely stream this. This is streaming kind of.
So I won't say thumbs down. I give it a stream.
A stream. No, yeah, definitely watch it. But just I wouldn't recommend like
going to the movies. It was the first time I was legit falling asleep watching the movie.
I can't say that because I fell asleep on a good Harry Potter movie before.
(19:49):
That's because I work too damn much. Anyway, time for a quick word from our sponsors.

Oh, we're back. I've been feeling a Taylor Swift vibe because I have to do another
Taylor Swift brunch this weekend. And yes, I said another.
(22:04):
I've done it so much that I became a Swifty by way of drag brunch.
But I'm so happy she did endorse Kamala Harris. Fine. Kamala.
She did it right after the debate. And she did it holding a picture of her holding
her cat. Of her cat. So you know she watched the debate.
I'm glad she waited to do it so she can be informed about what she wanted.
(22:24):
I love her message. they did say that right after she posted that loaders registration
thing that they registered almost 30 something thousand i don't get the number
wrong but it was a lot of people really quick it was i believe you're right
that's how many actually registered and i believe 200.
000 over that visited the site alone by the way this is a piece of tea you gave
(22:44):
me from tiktok the 30k was people that renewed or reinforced their voters thingy
oh fabulous speaking of all all the 19 pieces of information you give me a day from Twitter.
You know, you told me this is why I brought it up.
Say you remember me.
Y'all during the break, I was talking about Greg always being on Twitter and
(23:05):
I was like, give me some tea. He's like, oh, there's nothing.
But I can tell you throughout the whole day, I have to like literally say,
get off of Twitter because he tells me so many different things throughout the
day from Charlie X, the XT to, uh,
What was the one you told me about that? I was like, oh, we should go see her.
And he was like, oh, no. Girl. We shouldn't go see her because she supports Drake, I think. Stop.
(23:27):
Behind the scenes. First, I said it was Kalani and then it was Chris Brown.
There you go for Chris Brown. There you go. See, it's so many different pieces
of the team. But second of all, the reason I said nothing has been going on
that we can talk about is because it's been the VMAs. And we didn't watch the
VMAs. So that's what Twitter's been?
It was just red carpet looks. It was performances. performances
(23:48):
it was people that won awards of course taylor won
literally a majority of the awards for fortnight and
people were mad because they're like what why did it win song of
the summer for fort who won song of the
summer was it a jam track is it a jam no fortnight no i'm saying there's there's
a there's a mode on fortnight where they have popular songs that you can play
(24:09):
it's like guitar hero oh oh no no we're talking about a song the song called
fort i'm saying oh the song fortnight yeah girl i was like i'm high.
Fortnight was close malone i'm the
worst person to talk about it was a
(24:30):
cute song but i didn't think that it was a song of the i'm sorry people are
like girl yeah like it should have been expresso if anything oh my god i love
sabrina carper's expresso and i do like uh fortnight that was the one that i
got to perform that was kind of fun But that album was not hot, honey.
I love me some Taylor Swift, but we got to start being honest with these.
(24:50):
I think Sabrina, Expresso was a summer bop. I heard that song so much that I
was about to turn into a damn Expresso.
Tyla won a VMA for Best Afro Beats, obviously, because she's dominating.
But so far she's won a BET, a Grammy for VMA, just for Water.
For Water. And a VMA and one other award now. Like she's on a very like.
(25:15):
Running streak of winning it's good for her and people
okay so when she got her moon man she
was up there on stage and she was like trying to say
her speech but she's like oh no this is really heavy can
you know can someone hold it she was looking over
and the presenters for that reward were hallie which
is chloe's sister she just had a baby okay and little
(25:36):
nas x and hallie was you
know she was just standing there and she was like you know in her head like
girl i ain't gonna reach for that and like little nas x ended up
reaching for it because you know his gay mind was sitting
there first like who gonna reach for this and tyla ended up being
like now she just wanted to feel an award because it's been quite some
time and people took that out of context saying that tyla's a diva and like
(25:57):
how is she so entitled to be like oh my gosh you can't hold an award while speaking
but everybody else can what oh yeah people were going in on her and people and
there's this is why i don't look at twitter you know this right you're my twitter
genie if i if If you don't tell me things,
I don't know, because Twitter is a hot-ass mess.
Yeah, it's just a bunch of nonsense discourse.
(26:18):
Would I call it Twitter now, or would I call it, like, Twitter?
I still refer to it as Twitter, because we don't acknowledge X.
But you still use it, even though Elon Musk is... I don't pay for the app.
I'm not a blue check mark. And for a fortnight, we were...
Anyway, I'd be getting right together, because Elon Musk still, like, owns...
(26:38):
He owns X. yes he wouldn't be
the way to like protest him is not to use his platform no
because he's technically lost money buying it now
he started before being getting authenticated on
twitter getting a blue check mark you would have to actually
be in articles like at
least three or five like relevant articles and you have to have like
(27:00):
a government issued id like you had to be verified in order to get
that blue check mark like it was a it was an actual verification thing
now because elon's trying to make his money back he's just selling
that shit for like three bucks a month through twitter blue
yeah you know what i mean well he's a billionaire so no matter
what people protest against him he's already got rich as hell it
just drops the whole because back in the day like being an
(27:20):
influencer like if you had a blue check mark you were a big
deal like that was kind of like you're making a way to
like the the top industry people but nowadays
anybody can buy a blue check mark because they want to feel validated
yeah that's their prerogative i don't see anything thing wrong that if
that's what you want to do to feel valid then buy your blue check mark honey
it's all make-believe at the end of the day yeah yeah yeah oh what's that all
(27:45):
the mtv news because we went like to the check mark i'm looking at the winners
now in the different categories taylor taylor took home a bunch i told you she
took home a bunch a bunch yeah.
Just for Fortnite. Wow. I just didn't see her winning anything for that album.
Her outfit was... It's because if you think the barbs are bad,
if you think the barbs are crazy, Swifties are fucking... Oh, yeah.
(28:06):
But with good reason. She's pretty talented.
I mean, a lot of people may not think that, but everybody was like,
we all like something. I think Taylor's pretty talented.
She's a very smart businesswoman. She's the only chick I know that brought out
two of the same songs and made money off of them.
I haven't seen anybody do that. She's like, no, I'm just going to make a Taylor version.
(28:26):
But there's a whole reason behind it. Of course. But regardless of the reason, she was able to do it.
And not a lot of people can do that, especially when you're dealing with music
producers and songwriters. But that's because she's a white woman.
Okay. Well, white woman with a smile.
White woman. White woman. I don't knock her. I get it.
(28:48):
Race does have a lot to play with success in this country.
But she's a woman nevertheless. less in a
country where men are dominant and usually when you go
after a man in most cases a white man you
lose she did not so i commend her and she's a sagittarius of course you're gonna
play bias yeah of course a little part you gotta be a little because she's fabulous
(29:09):
honey and for a fortnight there we were but that song should not won over espresso but espresso won.
One song of the year. Oh, well, then that's even better.
She's fine. She is fine. Taylor just won like every other category.
Wouldn't Sabrina want a Taylor Swift Sons as she had gone?
(29:30):
Wouldn't that be? Taylor, well, we consider Sabrina. Would Sabrina be Taylor
Swift? I want an Ariana Sons.
Really? Because Ariana can sing and Sabrina has the same vocal coach as Ariana.
I've heard Sabrina sing live and they don't sound like they have the same voice.
Coachella was a whole different, like. Ariana didn't sound bad at Coachella.
(29:51):
She didn't sound. Nor did Beyonce. Well, first of all, Ariana's more,
like, because Ariana and Sabrina, they're more trained for, like, stadium, vocally.
They're not trained for, like, an outdoor where they can't have their voice
projected and bounce off, like, you know what I mean?
Girl, you sound like Donald Trump at that debate when he loves trying to explain
Sabrina's voice versus Ariana. I'm not crazy, though.
(30:12):
There's actually scientific, like, logical proof to that.
Well, somebody missed science class, honey. it's because a
lot of people think like artists when you're gonna see them outside
in a you know stage like that it's gonna sound
nice not all the times it is like unfortunately like singing
production yes you can hear the drums you can
hear the beats but vocally like no so britney
(30:32):
spears can technically sing when she
inside she sound good when she outside she sound bad why did Brittany have to
come into this we were talking about thinking and science I'm like maybe but
maybe if Brittany only sang in inside stadiums she would sound great according to Greg's science.
(30:55):
But not your science someone else's right we just being silly y'all.
Isn't Brittany mostly auto-tuned,
Sabrina Auto-Tune, too, honey. Everybody's lost. If I've been saying it,
look, let me tell you something.
No shade to Taylor Swift and all these girls, but they definitely coupled with the tune box.
(31:18):
They've been entangled for quite some time. Their voices were called an entanglement.
With Auto-Tune. Ninging by me.
You are so funny. I'm getting it. Look, y'all, I'm getting an auto-tune box.
All of us are going to sound pitch perfect next episode.
(31:40):
We are. We're going to all come up with some songs. No. And we're going to play them.
Greg, I promise you're going to sound fabulous. Trust me.
Britney did it. It's Sabrina doing it. Tyler Swift did it. Who else is doing
it that sings? It's a lot of them girls. Them Disney chicks, especially.
With the exception of Mata Cyrus. She sounds great. Hannah Montana. Hannah Montana.
(32:04):
Anyway y'all I did not watch the MTV Awards Greg thank
you so much for our MTV report y'all

of energy I'd rather play video games yeah I mean aren't you having fun playing Astro Bot,

Yeah, it's a good story. Yeah.
Yes. I love the story. The elemental transformations, that's where I'm hooked
on. Oh, they are amazing.
I cannot wait to collect all this. And I think there's a lot more than what
we even think. Yeah, no, I think there's a ton.
(33:36):
Yeah. And then you can switch them between your team. Get different movesets, different powers.
It's pretty fun. I do like it. It is a good game. It has me hooked.
Yeah. I'm about to try Astro Bot.
Probably when we're done doing this. You are going to love Astro Bot.
I don't think you're going to come out that room anymore. It's not going to work. It is.
It's fun. It really is very addictive. I'm kind of mad that I got to go do drag tonight.
(33:57):
But you can finish it. Go back and shoot. Shit, I might take that portal up to the gay 90s, honey.
If they got good internet. I do see you playing it. And the last game I really
played besides Sackboy was Super Mario Galaxy, like Odyssey.
No, Galaxy. That was fun. It was Galaxy.
Because Galaxy just like. Yeah. Ratchet and Clank is amazing too on the PS5. The rest apart.
(34:19):
It is amazing. Oh, you know what?
And you probably stopped but it's good it's worth it it's a slow
burn yeah yeah i actually had got stuck and
didn't want to have to go back and start over oh yeah so
that's why it was hard it's good it's a good game it is a good game it's hard
finish her she's amazing more to come back they got a new update coming out
(34:41):
i'm excited they turned sector and cyrax into women i'm excited about that though
i like that they're changing everything up because it It just makes it... This is a good game.
I'm glad they did this Mortal Kombat that way. And I'm glad we're getting more characters.
Got Ghostface. We got Terminator, the liquid Terminator. That should be interesting.
Conan the Barbarian. They love them some Arnold Schwarzenegger.
(35:02):
He's been like almost... He's been on a lot of them, hasn't he?
DLC? Mortal Kombat DLCs, yeah.
I think so. Who Arnold Schwarzenegger? The Terminator. Yeah,
he's been on... He's on there as Conan, his young self.
Oh, that's fun. Yeah, because he was Conan. That's going to be nice for him.
I love Conan. And then Street Fighter, Marvel.
Oh, school. Yep. I got that. Of course, you know, I'm a gamer,
so I buy all of my good games. I will be playing that.
(35:25):
I have to play because everybody's going to be playing. Yeah.
Everybody's going to be playing. It's game. And then they put two like,
uh, platformers on there too.
The Punisher and then children of the atom, X-Men children of the atom. Those are platform.
Yeah. They're not fighting games. Oh shit. I didn't know that.
Yeah. So that's going to be fun to play.
What are you playing? Make sure you like, share and subscribe to the lemon squeeze. Leave comments.
(35:48):
Tell me what you're playing. Like, let's play some video games together.
If you're not crazy, I'll give you my gamer tag.
I don't know. You never know. Yeah. But anyway, thank you so much.
What else is going on out here in these streets?
What's everyone up to? These streets talking.
I mean, you know, I be inside. I don't really try to be outside where there's
(36:09):
drama and dance going on.
But even over here in my own little corner of the world, you hear the drama
that is going on outside of these walls.
And I just want to say that I feel like there's a lot of negativity going around
in our scene right now. And something needs to change.
I agree. There is, but I think what needs to change is that we have to learn
(36:30):
how to, and it's good that you brought that up. We have to learn how to drown it out.
I think it goes, it's a good example of that is there has been drama going on with me.
I'm always going to be transparent and it's different things,
mainly involving whether I book people for the show or not book people or,
you know, I don't care about it because I know my character.
I think that's the most important thing is when you know yourself,
(36:52):
you don't care about anybody else validating what they think they know about you.
And that's OK, because if you're not willing to come and get to know me as an
individual, then that's your loss.
I'm actually a pretty nice person. I love, you know, helping people and being
there for people and supporting as much as I can. I'm not perfect.
I'm human. So sometimes I miss the mark or I'm depressed and I just don't feel
too good some days. So there are days, but for the most part,
(37:15):
I'm a pretty kind person.
I just think you have to block out negativity because you realize that the people
that are being negative are people who haven't dealt with their own issues.
So what they tend to do because they're so full of negativity is when you have
nowhere else for it to go internally, it goes outward. It goes outward.
And that's what happens.
Sometimes people spill it out, don't even know they're doing it. They just spill it out.
(37:36):
They walk around, they fart and vomit in negativity. They spit and fart in it.
Keep your flatulence to yourself because I'm not into that.
Yeah. But that's literally what it is. I know Minneapolis has a lot of great things to do here.
And what you just have to do is just surround yourself with positive people
who are like-minded. Because there is a lot of negativity in this community.
(37:59):
Especially surrounding drag, which is... Surrounding drag is what I mean. It's crazy.
Yeah. It's funny just because, you know, I've only been here almost a year in
December and... You know all the drag tea, honey. You know all the tea.
Besides that, it's just the environment itself.
There's a lot of self-aspiring entrepreneurs and everyone's trying to be at
(38:21):
the top. And I'm like, y'all girls are taking this like this is LA.
Just have fun in your city.
Well, that feels like everybody's trying to be RuPaul. There will only ever
be one RuPaul because she was in the right place at the right time.
RuPaul became successful because she was kind to someone and someone was kind
to her. And then it just kept paying it forward until she ran across the right
person who believed in her.
(38:43):
Even when she went dark for a little while, somebody still was in her corner
lifting her up. And now she is a drag icon. But that's it.
Like, you know, we have to aspire to be our versions of that.
But think about it like the multiverse, you know, you can be RuPaul just in
another aspect, in another way, you know.
You don't have to be directly like someone.
(39:03):
So it's okay to want to be at the top. But remember, like, the people who are
at the top were at the right place at the right time. And they had a lot of struggles to get there.
Like, it's not easy getting to the top. And staying.
Yeah, it's a sacrifice, honey. Like, I'll tell you, you know,
being where I'm at, the costume, paying all the money that I spent on looks
(39:24):
and wigs, things just to keep myself relevant. it.
And also missing out on things that I also could fall in love with as far as passions and hobbies.
I miss it because I'm so busy working on staying successful and keeping myself going.
And I'm like, well, shit, I like to do this. And I like to do this.
And I like to do that. And you know, it zips past you like the blink of an eye
(39:45):
before you realize that you're like, well, shit, I let all these opportunities
to do other things that make me happy fly by just for the sake of staying on top. It's not easy.
And I think people should be a little more kind to the people on top,
especially those that are kind back.
You know, give people a chance. Stop taking your own personal issues out on everybody.
(40:06):
And please stop trauma dumping in clubs.
When did we start doing that? Please stop doing that. I don't go out because I am no one's therapist.
It's like time and place, people. Oh, my God. And I'm like, can I go out and have some cocktails?
Well, for some people, once the alcohol hit, they just, they can let it out.
They do let it out at the club.
(40:27):
I mean, I get it. Sometimes, yeah, a little booze gives you that encouragement to speak.
But damn, think about what you're trying to say.
If you're too busy thinking about everything that's wrong in your life,
you is not having enough fun right now. And don't go out. Stay home.
Chill out and get yourself together, honey, because everybody don't want to
hear your problems. And I know they may be tough to hear, but it is reality.
(40:51):
Speaking of reality, the reality is that I have ran out of tea.
I don't have anything else.
It's been a nice episode. Thank you so much for listening.
What did we smoke today? I forget what we were smoking. It's that like Royal Highness.
The Royal Highness, all from Queens Greens. Madame Anabolic.
She delivers my herbs to me and they're great. This weed makes me feel a little on the relaxed side.
(41:16):
Like so relaxed that I literally could fall asleep while I'm talking on this podcast.
I love it. Please don't. No, I can't fall asleep. I have to go to work.
I have to go make my money, honey. Y'all, thank you so much for listening to
