Speaker 2 (00:41):
Well, we were busy. You're extra busy. You're extra busy
during Pride month, like you like, I mean, I saw
you aside from our little excursion, I saw you for
about four minutes on minutes on Friday. It was Thursday night.

like a wrecking ball, like a wrecking ball.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Well, we had a really we had a really fun
day that we went to we went to uh.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
DC Yeah World part in DC.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Stevie and I volunteered as marshals for the Gilbert Baker Foundation.
Gilbert Baker was the man who designed the original Pride
flag that had eight colors back in the day in
the seventies. Each color represented something different. I know most
of them, but I don't want to forget any of them.
But we marshalled, and the the the DC Gay Men's
Chorus carried like an almost mile long flag down.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
The Red Route.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
It was, it was glorious, It was really hot. I
made Stevie work really hard that day. He's not used
to that kind of work.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It was.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I was fine. I was fine until the end, and
then I had to sit down.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well that's it's It's like when you have to go
to the bathroom. The closer you get to the toilet,
the more you have to go. The closer the closer
we got to the and and both of us not
being DC people, we didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Know where the end was, like in New York at
least I know at least I know where the end
is in New York. But we were like how much further?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I sat down, I pulled out I bought that fan.
I bought that like little diceon fan. It's not Dyson,
it's another brand, but it looks like like a dice
in hair dryer. And I I just like I had
a cool off. Yeah, it was, it was hot.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It was really fun. It was in the beginning of June.
You see, it was very solemn.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
As we know, the political climate is subtropical or I
don't know, I don't know what the word would be.
So things are a little weird right now, a lot
weird right now. So, like it was interesting to be
in d C for World Pride. We didn't quite make
it to the to the gay area.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
We kind of.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Ubers and lyfts are not like they are in New York.
We learned they tell you eight minutes, but that means
eighty five minutes. And so we never made it too
to the gay section before we had to like head
back home.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And then and then and then the driver calls, oh,
do you can you meet me here? I'm like, where
is that?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Do you know where this is? I'm like, no, I'm
not from around here. Oh, well do you know where
that is? I'm like, like I just said I don't.
I'm not from around here.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Can you meet me here from somewhere? No, you don't
know you from anywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It was it was annoying.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
That was that.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
That was a little annoying.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
However, we got to we did get to walk past
the White House.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, we got to get the finger.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I got to flip them off. I took a photo.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That was that was a beautiful moment. I think that
was a really beautiful moment.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Good day. We did had a good day. We got
you know, we got on the train early.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
We got there and we had it, you know, got
to explore a little bit, and uh, it was a
really fun day. It was like, I didn't know that
was the only pride moment we were going to have,
but it ended up being fun. And uh, we both
got to see each other kind of lose our ship,
which was kind of funny. I had a little tantrum.
And then the machine wouldn't take my card for Stevie's.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Ride, so TV had a little tantrum. I did.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So we got to see each other in our in
our tantrums, which we don't normally do because usually we're
so bubbly when we're around other ice.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You know what, fuck you DC. Okay, fuck your transit
system and kiss my ass.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, one thing, you know, you really take for granted,
the New York City way of life, you know, the
convenience and the everywhere you look, there's a subway somewhere
that will connect you somewhere. This was like a fifteen
minute walk just to get to a subway that we
weren't even sure it was going to take us.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But we need to go, you know, Yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I think there was somebody smoking on the subway too, right.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes there was, and it was you know, we were
we were just exhausted. It was a long, hot day.
Neither of us really got a good night's sleep.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I looked great on the train ride home.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, the train ride, homies, we were knocked out.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I was, I was done. You had to wake me up.
You're like, we're here.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I don't why you'd have to jump up when you
know whatever. Yeah, it was the only time I've ever
really been to d C is for a protest or
to see Ma Donna.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
And now we've we got to we got to experience
world pride in DC and flip off Donald Trump. You
know who's he's passing a lot of things. I just
wish he would pass away.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
He would pass Yeah right, yeah, you guys going to
be knocking on our podcast or things are things are good.
Pride was kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I don't know if the if our vast audience knows,
but I recently joined the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, so
I got to do a couple of things with them
where we're a group of activist nuns and some of
my sisters will be at Madonna Worship in August, but
we'll get we'll talk more about that later. But we're
kind of like clown face, kind of parody ish of
(05:43):
the whole idea of a nun, and we do we
do good work for the community. And I got to
do a lot of events with them this year. For Pride,
we marched in the parade. That was fun. It was
My Pride was very different this year. It wasn't so
New York based, Like I got to do an event
in uh in South Jersey. I'm doing Catskills Pride this weekend,
Montreal Pride in August, but I usually do that, so it's.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
So funny that you're coming up, You're coming up to
the cat Skills. This weekend, I'll be in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, I'll be closer to Stevie than I ever was,
and you're not even.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Going to be here sort of, I mean not terribly far.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But now it's still a bit of a still a
bit of a ride. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So like it's been a different Pride because because honestly,
like before we get into all the Madonna like, the
corporations have backed out, and there weren't I work at Stonewall,
and there weren't as many of the corporate events as
there usually are. A lot of our loyal you know,
loyal companies definitely came back into their event, but usually
it's like event after event after event, and I'm like
gractically living there. And I had like lots of time
(06:41):
off this year and able, you know, time to breathe
and do other things. So it's definitely been felt and
noticed in the in the LGBT community, especially in the
nightlife scene.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I mean it also it was you know, World Pride was.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
In DC's not New York. It's it's the fifties, fifty
sixth anniversary. It's not like a milestone versus, so you know,
who knows, maybe in a couple of years the sixtieth.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It'll be back, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It was fifty years for DC, I think though, right.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Since their first praade, but since it's Donma arrived, there's
fifty six years.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Fifty six years, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Fifty nine and a big year. So our our fifty
fifth was last year. So we were pretty busy last year.
But I'm definitely noticing the pullback. And the asked to
do a couple of corporate gigs here and there, only
gotta have to do one. Maybe maybe I'm just bad
at my job and they didn't want to invite me back.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Maybe they're just homophobic.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
When they in their pride events, they're homophobic.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
They hire straight DJ for Straight Pride Month.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, that's our wrath month. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So it's been a you know, and I'm actually like,
I'm a little surprised that Madonna hasn't been as vocal
as I thought she would be through all this, Like
I would expect a little more punch from her, you know,
but maybe she's saving it up for the new music.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Maybe the new music is going to have a message
and she's going to come out of like a you know,
I'm sure wet of a cage.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I'm sure, well, because we usually get a pretty wrathy
political statement Madonna period when there's something going on, such
as schmuck fucking Trump and office. So I guess only
time will tell.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
She loves you know, she loves to dance. She wants
people to have fun. Maybe we'll get a few songs
that have a message in them. I'm really anxious to
hear what like. I just want a taste of it.
I want like a snippet.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I mean, things have been pretty quiet. I mean Susan
Thomas is still sleeping, she's still taking her nap.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
She never woke up. She's in a coma.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I think she's she's Koma toast. She's not coma white,
but she's Koma toast.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
That's a new trend in Williamsburg, right, Komba toast.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I think so. I think it has ice cream on top.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, they love their avocado toast, but now they like
Klema toast.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Cooma toast, yes, so, I mean, but then look who
reared her her head? She arised from from the ashes,
Miss Veronica Electronica.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yes, I was not expecting that.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I was.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I texted you that morning when I just happened to
be driving to work. I was coming down the mountain
and I opened up Spotify down.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The mountain when he comes, When he comes.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That's right, you know what, that could be your next single. Yeah,
maybe we'll have to record it. We'll record that bill
coming down the mountain when he comes. And then I
saw that, I was like, what is this? What does
this album cover? And I clicked it. I was like, oh,
and then I'm driving, so I shouldn't be looking at
my phone, but I was, and I was like, does
(09:26):
that say Veronica Electronics. I screenshoted it and I sent
it to you at like eight o'clock in the morning.
So what do you What are your thoughts on this?
I want to know because I've I've gotten a lot
of really really really not so nice opinions from other people.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Well, I mean, the.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Thing, the thing that I mean, I know that a
lot of these remixes aren't available on streaming, so that's cool.
But it's like everything that's coming out we have had already.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Or fans have already had they've had access.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I mean, but I guess it's been on CD, or
it's been on like Chromo might have it on my
like in digital form, So I guess it is cool
to like to have a physical At this point, everything
Madonna's done, like we all have, and we've all heard
most of us. So now it's just more like like
a campaign to get like other people to hear it,
you know, mm hmmm, Because I know a lot of
(10:17):
had someone think that the remix of Skin was from
her new album. And they're like a little younger than me,
like they were around when Way of Like came out.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I'm like, you don't remember this song? They were like, oh, oh,
that's right, like they actually thought it was the new album.
That is.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's kind of funny, I mean cute funny, I mean great.
I love Skin. I requested it in sixth grade for
our graduation dance. Of all Madonna's songs to request, I
wanted Skin obviously, not this remix because I play it.
I didn't go, so I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I was just one of those three write in your requests.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
We pre pre requested songs and everybody was requesting like
the Offspring and Blink E two, and I'm like, I
want to hear Skin.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You know, it's really funny. I DJ the Harvey Milk
Palm every year school. It's connected to Hetrick Martin. It's
mostly queer kids, you know, go to this school that
have been kind of out of their homes or you
know whatever, et cetera. They always they give me a
list of songs and it's billed, strangely enough, with all
emo music really at the Disco and all those people
(11:28):
taking back Sunday that was that music.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Is like their parents' music, right, because that came out
in the early two thousand So if these kids are
like sixteen and.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, well they came out Panic at the Disco came out,
I want to say, like two thousand and five, two
thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Maybe yeah, these these kids were just born then or
not even so it's got to be their parents that
listen to it.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Right or TikTok, TikTok. They bring back all the holies.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
They bring back a lot of old stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I mean, look, Connie Francis is having like a huge
resurgence right now.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
That's really funny. Truth.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
The thing that I do like is that on the
Veronical Electronica that Gon gon Gon is on it, because
that might be one of my favorite unreleased songs by.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Her, so I know a lot of people have like
expressed me, well, why are they edits? Why I don't
want edits, I want full versions, And I think a
lot of people don't realize, like the full versions of
a lot of those remixes are like ten to twelve
minutes each.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, they were like epic like opuses.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
The whole object was to release something, not just digitally.
You know, we got the vinyl release, a limited vinyl release.
That wouldn't be that wouldn't fit on a record, you know,
it would be like one remix per side, so and
then it would be like five records, you know, five discs.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Okay. I always forget about the the album, the vinyl
like limitation.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So then people would be like, well, I'm not spending
you know, eighty dollars or ninety dollars on this, you know, because.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It's five Some people would complain about that a buffet
doesn't have enough food to eat, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, you're right, I'm happy for it. Yes, we've had
all of these remixes for years, but you don't want
to know what Now they're a new edit. It's gonna
look nice on my shelf. I have something new to
stream on the Spotify Is it though?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
It? Is it? Like? Are they remastered?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Pretty sure?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well that's cool because I as futuristic as Ray of
Lake sounded when it came out, it didn't hold up
technology wise.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Maybe people feel like now listening to it now compared
to other things, it doesn't it needs a remaster.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah. No.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
When it came out, it was like super state of
the art, and it was really like, holy holy cow,
what is his sound?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
What is his music?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
But now like I'm noticing, like the bass just isn't
as thick as it should be and the you know,
maybe maybe it's because it was William wore a bit
kind of did everything kind of in his basement kind
of thing, you know, in his bedroom, So maybe he
didn't really it sounded right back then because it was new.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I mean, I'm still holding out for what like deluxe
editions where we'll have like a remastered Ray of Light,
a remastered Erotica remastered.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Maybe it could also be like the version that I
have is a lower bit rate, you know that's.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
On my computer. It could be that, you know, I
mean that always.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Plays into it because now everything's everything it's released now
is so high high bitrate and all that, So it
could just be I have like a lower bit rate.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I haven't really.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Checked even like there's just you could notice the difference,
Like if you play Ray of Light next to like
something from m DNA, you can hear there's a there's
a there's a difference. But Skin always, the original version
of Skin was always a little muffuy.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I always thought that that's how it was supposed to
sound like. It was like like an effect, you know.
They they added you know, uh, you know, electronic effect
to it to make it sound more electronic.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Rumbly, like more rumbully. They wanted to somewhere industrial.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I'm here for I love it. I love the ideas.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
You missed my job.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Oh what did you say? I'm sorry?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I said they wanted to sound more industrial.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Oh like hardcore?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, you know industrial?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, I know industrial.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm making the horns right now into the microphone. I
wish more people made industrial music, but not everybody could be,
you know, as good as you know, miss Germanata.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, but you were talking about Susan thom is still sleeping.
Isn't there aren't they releasing isn't this weekend? The you
said it's a four K release of Desperate that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
They're screening Desperately Seeking Susan over at Night Hawk, and
I think it's the four K, like the new four
K remaster. So it's the fortieth anniversary and they did
a four K remaster of it, So I'm kinda I'm
kind of intrigued.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
You know, were you even born when it came out? No?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
No, do you know? The first time I saw Desperately
Seeking Susan was on the Common the Comedy Central.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I don't remember seeing it when I was a kid
because I was nine when it came out.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I was I remember.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Seeing I was nine when I saw it, so yeah, yeah,
I was on TV. I saw it on TV, and
I haven't recorded from TV too.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I don't remember, Like I might have watched it when
I was a kid, but I definitely didn't see it
in the theater.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, I'm I like seeing things in theaters and I.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Love the theater. I went to a lot of movies
as a kid. We me and my friends used to
go like we used to go to the like The
One o'clock Show, and to sneak into the other theaters
we used to we were movie buffs and me and
my friends and we used to I grew up in Jersey.
We used to go to Seahawcuss, like the whole Hartman Cove.
Like there were two huge theaters and we'd go to
one and just sneak into the other two.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
We'd be there all day long.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Did I tell you the story? No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
But there was a place in my hometown called Goodman's.
There's a candy store and every single piece of candy
was a penny. So we'd all go in there with
five dollars and we'd get five hundred pieces of candy
and that's what we ate all day in the movie theater.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I went to the movies once with this guy and
they had good dive of chocolate bars like up at
the register, and I was like, oh, I want that.
And I was like, oh, I'm not spending five dollars
on a chocolate bar. And then he stole it for me.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I was like, Wow, how were romantic? And that was
it the end. That was the end of my story.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Really funny. Yeah, he stole a good drive of chocolate
bar for you.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
He sure did. It was a raspberry one too.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I like that I don't know, should it should I
have been flattered that he stole a chocolate bar for me. Chivalrous,
I think, very robin Hood.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Like steal from the rich to give to the poor,
me being the poor.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, I mean it works, it works for me. Yeah,

We're thinking of doing like a Madonna.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Movie like festival, maybe when it gets a little colder
out Chi. I know a few theaters that might be
able to make that happen. Also, I don't know if
you know about this, Stevie. We're supposed to do it
in June, but we moved to the fourteenth of August.
We're doing an event at my friend's salon and event
space in Soho called Iron Feather. There's a live taping
(19:14):
of a podcast called All I Want to Do Is
Talk about Madonna. The Party. It's a party full link.
It's also it's in my bio, it's in my link tree.
But our friend, my friend Jeffrey, huge Madonna fan. We've
known each other for years. He owns the salon along
with a couple of other people, and they're doing the
live taping of the podcast. We're gonna have a performance
by Jessica Rose.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You know miss Jessica. Do I know Miss Jessica Rose?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I know, Well, you're the reason I know her. She's
now we're doing a little dance party afterwards. So we
love my Yeah, if you go to my bio at
DJ chauncyd and you go to my link tree, it's
the second thing on the list, so you could.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I had more information about that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
But then the big billy deal of the year is
the very next day is the seventeenth annual Madonna Worship Night.
I can't believe I've been doing it for seventeen years.
My little baby is old enough to get married in some.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
State legal age of consent. Baby, Yeah, so they can consent.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So Madonna Worship can do whatever it wants now.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Just about just about. So, hey, that's it's so exciting.
And where are we having it? Where's it gonna be, baby.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
It's back at back at three dollars bill. We had
plans to do it somewhere else, but that fell through.
Just the place closed for the summer for renovations, which
kind of made me sad. I do love three other bills,
so I'm happy to create.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
It feels like home with Madonna Worship now a great
stage performances by Ladiva Chaconi Tea Boy. We're waiting on
confirmation from Como, White Crystal, Come Downs, Misty Mountains and
Vegas Valentine. Here Joe Michael will be starting the night off,
and then I'll be finishing the night. And here's an
(21:01):
exciting thing. I'm not sure if anybody knows about the
Madonna Songbook that was just published about four or five
months ago. It's this giant, heavy book of pretty much
every single Madonna song and Michelle Ruiz My my Baby
Mama and I both.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Have an entry in it. We're gonna be raffling two
copies of that book away at Madonna Worship.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
That's exciting.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And I just asked permission from Stevie. At Madonna Worship,
we're also gonna be rappling off a guest spot on
this very podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I know I gave my blessing, he gave me my
but yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I gave the blessing. I had to ask them, ask
them first.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
And the raffle tickets, you're gonna get one with your
with your entry like your your your your cover. But
if you want to buy more, all the ticket sales
are gonna be donated to trans Lifeline, which is a
very important hotline for trans youth that are in trouble
and need someone to talk to. And as we know,
that guy has cut a lot of the funding for
(22:01):
a lot of the suicide hotlines and all the hotlines.
So it's very important that we h that we keep
our own raised up. So yeah, we always try to
do something philanthropical for Madonna Worship, So this is our
little philanthropic moment. But yeah, but you go to like
I said, if you go to Madonna Worship on Instagram,
the link is in the in the bio to get
(22:23):
your tickets and there'll be more information about that coming up.
But I just wanted to get that little exciting part
about the Madonna songbook I do. I wrote a little
thing about Vogue and Michelle wrote something about rescue me.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Amazing, amazing, It's gonna be great. It's gonna be a
great night.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Every book. So you can actually use it as a
weapon if somebody bothers you on.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The way home, just just slap them with the book,
like it's like seven pounds slap.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
The slap the ship out of somebody. With the words
of Madonna and the and the commentary of fans. Yeah yeah, exactly,
So get her just do it, get her done?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
When does We might also have some promo items.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
It's it's it's it's up in the air for Veronica Electronica,
But when is that supposed to come out?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
So you know what's funny? It was they I think
it was a typo. Somebody must somebody must be getting
fired somewhere because there was The digital release was set
for like June, because you and I were talking about
and You're like, can't yeah it comes the album comes
out in July. I was like, yeah, but the physical
release comes out next week. I think somebody, uh, somebody
(23:34):
definitely made a made a little boo boo or maybe
it was supposed to come out early on digital, but
the physical release date, like the street date, is July
twenty fifth.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
So it's okay because I know that I know that
Skin is out.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
There, right, Skin is already out. Yeah, that's already out
on streaming, which is great. I stream the hell out
of it.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
But I tell you the remix of drown World substitute
for Love by BT and and Who's It BT and
some it is Sasha Okay is a mind bending, magical
journey of sound.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
One of my favorite remixes of back Then super Fast though,
because it's originally a ballad, so the frozen remix is
really good. The wide screen version is very good. Skypits
Havin Victor called Rohon is one of my favorite remixers.
Club sixty nine mix of Nothing Really Matters is pretty
much the one that she performed on tours, the opening
which is really amazing. The power of Goodbye though, Babyan's
(24:35):
Good God remix is insane.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And it's vinyl only.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Baby Oh, that's on vinyl only.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I think that that was only released on vinyl. I
don't think it was even on a promo CD.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It's showing on Oh meaning no, I think it was
on the promo CD. It's really crazy and it doesn't
have a lot of lyrics. If it's the one I'm
thinking of. And then one of my favorite demos that
never really I hope maybe because of this she'll pull
it out when she goes on tour again. But Gon
Gon Gone was this drum end bassed, wonderful, beautiful song
(25:09):
that I loved, or maybe.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It was sky Fits Heaven that I'm thinking. No, yeah,
maybe it was the Sky Fits Heaven when it was
just vinyl only one of them is vinyl only.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Oh like when it when it came out originally.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, well now it's obviously going to be on streaming
and on you know, colored silver vinyl.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So but yeah, I really I wish we got like
maybe one other, like like a new mix maybe you
know what I mean. But I guess this is what
was originally going to be released back then.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
So when it was you know, Urban Legend, you know,
Madonna mentioned it once or twice in interviews. I always
thought that it was going to be the remix counterpart
to the album. So I always thought it was going
to be like the full album just re envisioned, you know.
So I was expecting when when I first saw that
the Skin Remix was released on spot Fine automatically imagining like, oh,
(26:02):
it's going to be Ray of Light, you know, track
one through. However many songs there are on there, one
through has to be fully remixed, and it was going
to be like the remix counterparts. It was supposed to
be like Ray of Light in an alternate universe for
Onica Electronica. That's what I thought it was going to
end up being, and that's what I always thought it
was kind of what it was supposed to be, even
(26:23):
from the beginning. Apparently it's only going to be you know,
seven remixes in in a demo, which is fine by me.
I mean, I would have loved to have seen some
more demos get released, you know, Revenge or like a Flower.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
What I love about Revenge is for a long time
after it came out, they're leaked. Whenever her a new
album was coming out from her, people would say, have.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
You heard her new song Revenge. I'm like, that's been yeah,
that's been leaking. That's been tricking people for like four
albums now. It's so funny.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Well, I think even after I think I remember seeing
somebody posting like a mom, you know, we're a fake
you know track list for American Life, and Revenge was
on American Life's fake track list.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
So funny.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I mean, how cool would it be if she did
like like a show where there's a section just like
a bunch of like B sides and rarities that we've
never thought we'd ever hear, because I mean, we never
thought that she would have pulled out that You Threw
Me version of Erotica for Confessions, you know, not.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Just once, but twice.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Well, she did it for Celebration Tour too, she did
you Throw Me?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I remember what you mean? I'm like, what did I miss? Well?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Even like when Celebration Tours set list where like people
were like, oh, she's doing this, she's doing that, and
somebody posted it, Oh yeah, and she's doing you Throw Me.
I'm like, yeah, okay, I was like, that's not going
to happen. I guess I ate my words.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
But that was the last time she performed that was Confessions,
but it was well, you know, originally the instrumental to
You Thrill Me was a reworked version of Deeper and Deeper,
and they kept the instrumental, but she just sang Erotica
over it. If anybody, if anybody didn't know that, it's
a little bit of Madonna's trivia.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
That's right on the rain tapes.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
The Confessions tour version music of that ended up being
You Thrill Me.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Erotica was originally going to be Deeper and Deeper in
that section.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay, okay, same music.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
They just decided to change it to You Throw Me.
I don't know if anybody knows this, but you know
how fever came about?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Please enlighten me. I think I know what I don't think.
I think I think I know what it is.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I think you know too well. She was.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
She was in the process of recording good Bye the Innocence,
which didn't make it on the album, and they were
playing the beat too good Bye the Innocence, and she
started singing Fever over it because Sandra Bernhardt used to
do Fever in her in her in her show, and
it was kind of like her being like salty about
it or being like shady, and said, oh my god,
(28:56):
you need to record this. And they went out and
like back then and I they had, didn't they have?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
The lyrics were facts to them, like somebody.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
On the fly.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And she ended up recording Fever and then Goodbye to
Innocent's Got the Got the Can until uh just a
benefit album came out and then what you know, a
great song.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I I own the CD, but I would love for
that to go out on streaming. I feel like more
people need to hear Goodbye to NSNs.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Especially the like some people have a snake at the
base that they're spinning.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I know, I said, I remember when I I think
I sent it to Koma White or I played it
for Koma White, and Koma White was like obsessed.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
So it's so good, and it's it's like.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Peak, like like County nineties house.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Oh you know what it was when we were out
we were someplace and we were like yelling for you
to play Madonna and you're like, oh, okay, and you
played Uptown Sweet and I was like, oh, he's playing
Goodbye Innocence. And I was like, O wait, no, never
mind his Uptown Sweet. And then that's how that that
came about. Yeah, Cooma White was like obsessed, still obsessed
(30:03):
with that song.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
So well, the funny thing about Uptown Suite is we
heard that before we heard good Bye the Innocence, and
until I heard good Bye the Innocence, I never knew
that in the background in the beginning of Uptown Suite
you can hear her say like you could hear her read,
but it's all chopped up. So that was a really
funky time to be a Madonna.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Pan because we would get like remixes before the originals,
and then we'd get the original of the original later on,
and then like remixes would just pop out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It was really fun. I love I wish I would love.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Some more remixes, some more things.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Yeah, being a Madonna pan in the nineties was really special.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
There's a lot of things to collect. There was a
lot of things to obtain. Now it's like we're kind
of in a slump, you know, come on, Madonna, let's.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I mean, we got a couple of collaborations and like,
you know, she did that song with the Weekend, which
I love. Oh popular popular is greade. It did really well.
It's got like a gazillion streams. Hopefully he throws her
like a song for the new album and they could,
you know, to do a price can work as magic
with it. I'm imagining my my dream or my hope
for the new album is yes, there'll be some disco songs,
(31:11):
but I want Madonna to do a couple of freestyle
songs and some like old school eighties like hip hop
beats okay, but not not kitch like.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I wanted to be. I wanted to be like like,
I want, you know, a couple of fun songs. Obviously
Madonna always has a couple, have a couple of fun songs.
I want them sexy like freestyle beats. Freestyle's kind of
coming back. There's a there's a group called.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Ultra Flex and there's a girl named Alexis J who
would and also Nomi Ruiz amazing Nomi who works with
Eli Escobar.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
She's got a couple. She loves freestyles. She's got a
couple of freestyle songs on her new album.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I think Madonna's voice is really good for freestyle. And
no one's really in the pop scene exide for Brittany.
A couple of times have really delved into it.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So Brittany did a pre style song.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Well, a couple of them sounded a little freestylish, like
I mean, they're not freestyle freestyle like they had that sensibility.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Maybe maybe maybe we'll get like Madonna's like cover version
of show.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Me or like Temptation by Karna.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
There we go, let's hope.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
And the reason why I'm.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Saying this, I think I mentioned this before on the
podcast or with You is Stuart Stuart. Stuart Price used
to have an alter ego moniker called La Rhythm Digitalis
before he.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Worked with Madonna, Before he worked with.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Gwen Stefani and The Killers, and did all those remixes,
and his album is called Dark Dancer, and the album
is phenomenal and it's got all like freestyle songs and
eighties hip hop sounds and really like thick beats and
good stuff, and it was Honestly, it was the direction
I was hoping Madonna went after Confessions, but she ended
(32:52):
up working with like Timbaland and all that. So I
think I mentioned this before the podcast, but if you,
if you get a chance to check out Dark Dancer
by RYTHM the Rhythm digital Us, I might be saying
that wrongs in French, there's no h it's ryt ry
hmes digitalis. It's such a good album, and actually Shannon
(33:14):
is on it. She does a song called take a
Little Time, so he enlisted someone from the freestyle era
to perform on it. But that would be such a
cool direction for Madonna.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
To go in.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I'm definitely going to give this a listen because.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I could totally hear Madonna going in that direction, because
I can't imagine I'm doing just another Honestly, I'm all over.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
The place today.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
But I don't think Confessions had a lot of disco
songs on it.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It was dancy, it was it was kind of I mean,
was it disco like nineteen seventy nine, you know, like
peak disco. No, but there was a lot, a lot
of disco elements to it, No, I know.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
And like her her visuals. Yeah, but what I'm saying
is it sounded more eighties. Even even Hung Up had
like that eighties like grinding, high energy, new wave kind.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Of beat to it. And I love that's a perfect album.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
But it's funny how she chose to use disco visuals
to go with like an eighties album.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Maybe we'll get more. I hope we get more. I'm
jones In. I say that every every episode that we
recall that we recall that we record, I'm jones In. Madonna,
give me something.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
I just wanted, like a little snippet to find out
what direction she's going in.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
But you know what, she'll probably release a little snippet.
It won't even be like what it is. It's like
Hahn just kidding.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
She must really be fine tuning it because.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
She's been quiet. She's been very quiet about a lot
of things, Like she's just been silent, so very very silent.
And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
She lost her stepmom.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, well yeah, obviously, like the tour.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Was probably like really tiring. You know, you haven't with
that man though.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
She would with her man, and well, yeah, that's all
we see, the man and the man and the kids.
I mean, that's fine. I mean, I'm happy that she's
still posting. I'm happy that she's you know, she looks well.
She's apparently feeling.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Welladstanding that everyone's talking about mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I mean, lordis is doing well too. Look at her,
She's she's performing. I think she was performing someplace like
in in in France or something, or England. She was
doing a show or something, or maybe I made that up.
It's very possible. I vaguely remember seeing that they posted
something like that that she was doing doing a show.
I mean, I guess, like Madonna Familia is doing really well,
(35:42):
but I still want an album. We're single, we're in
the summer, give us like a summer single. I always
I thought that the album would be released by like October.
That's what I was envisioning in my mind, Like we
would get an album released by October and it would
blow up and everybody would be Team Madonna and sell
(36:04):
a billion records and everybody would be happy. Like peace
would be restored to earth.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
That's why I wonder if she's gonna do like just
like pop it out.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Well, maybe maybe she'll do like Beyonce. Beyonce just like
Boop drops it.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Yeah, very unlike her, so it could. You know, everyone
else has done.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
It, so she's never done that before. She's never just
been like slowly just like Boop.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I guess time will tell and time will stand still.
You know what I wanted to ask you, it's it's
not really off topic. Somebody might think it's off topic.
Did you watch the Pee Wee documentary?
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I still I keep forgetting to finish the second half.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Okay, well the second half has Deb in it, Debbie Masar.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
I think I watched it, but like through like my eyelids.
I call it like I was like half asleep.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, you know special. I think that anybody listening,
if you haven't watched it, I'll watch it. You will
ball your eyes out. It was so good.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
You learned so much about him.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Paul was an amazing person, and that's all that there
is to it. But deb was on there, you know,
and she shared like photos and things that I'm watching,
and I'm like, oh, I wonder if there's gonna be
you know, a picture of him and him and m
you know, was she there?
Speaker 3 (37:14):
You know?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And no photos of them together. I do think that
Paul did have backstage passes to the Who's That Girl Show,
one of the one of the Who's That Girl Tour shows,
because he does have a backstage pass, you know, on
his wall or something. And I was like, oh, I
wish that, you know, there was like just you know,
one little photo of Paul Devi and Madonna right well,
(37:42):
like the next day after it aired, Madonna was posting
like pictures and videos of her table setting, and you
know what was on the table the pee wee Herman
pullstring doll. And I was like, oh, she knows. I
was like, oh, maybe she watched. She probably has a
Bomax and she watched it. I was like, that's sweet.
(38:03):
So maybe maybe there there is a photo someplace of them.
So yeah, I have the pol string doll too.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
You told me that. But it doesn't doesn't talk.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
It doesn't talk any I wonder if I could get
it restored or something. But I mean I played with it.
It was it was you know, I used to bring
it everywhere with me and I used to play the
hell out of it. It's yeah, it was sweet. It
was It was a good documentary. And I'm happy that
Madonna acknowledged and you know, give a little, a little,
not a little toast to the Peewee.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
She is.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
She is much more aware of what's going on in
the world than I think people give her credit for it.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Well, I think, you know, we forget. I guess like
that Madonna does have access to she does have the internet,
she does have a cell phone, She has friends that
probably fill her in on things, has children, you know.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Yeah, it was really cool to see Peewee like talk
about his past and how snarky he was with the director.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
It was really fun.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
He was He was a great guy. He really was.
He was a great He was hilarious. And even even
in his older years, like like in the interview footage
like obviously was shot well before he you know, was
very sick and dying. I thought he looked fabulous.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yeah, he looked.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
He looked really good, very even as an even as
an older man. I thought I found him very handsome. Yeah, no,
I agree, I agree, very very handsome.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
So he was younger. I like, like I could see
him being like a real like fox, like like everybody
wanted him because he was like kind of like very
ish and kind of like you know that slim, kind
of interesting looking, not not conventionally handsome.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
You know, scruffy hair, you know.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Yeah, like he had like a cool thing about him
back then. Yeah, it would have been funny if I'm
surprised Madonna didn't end up on a show at some point,
like with all the other people.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I think she was a little busy at the time. Like, yeah,
he the actual was probably so packed full.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Because it's interesting how a lot of those like big
cultural moments like she kind of wasn't able to be
a part of. But then then she made her own
cultural moments, you know, like Wayne's World, Yeah, the Saturday Live,
Like Madonna was always great on Saturday Lives. It's just
interesting how she like found the right moments but also
like missed these like oh I wish she did this,
(40:24):
I wish she did that, you know.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
But you know, you know it's also the fortieth anniversary
of Live Aid that's right. Yeah, I thought that they
would have done something. Yeah, I thought that they would
have done something you know, forty years because it's such
a huge you know, not just for Madonna but for
all music at that time. You know, it's such a huge,
(40:48):
like music history moment.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Yeah right, Yeah, that was a big I.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Know CNN was was doing something. They were doing like
their own little documentary on it. I don't know if
it ever air or when it airs, but I should
look that up. Let's see, because i'd love to. I
wish that we'd have like a full show and not
just you know, two Madonna tracks. At least Love makes
the World Go Around.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Yeah, that's our favorite. I got to remember to play
that on Mona Worship.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
I'll remind you, Yeah, please remind me. Oh well, I'll
badger you.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
I got to start out.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
I don't know whether I'm going to have like a
little I usually do, like a video moment. I got
to figure out what I'm going to do that again
this year.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
It will be interesting to see what you come up with,
because you always have really good creative ideas with that.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
There's one year I did I redid Rescue Me. One
year last year I reread the Charlie Chaplin The Great
Dictator speech, which I don't think everyone understood it's because
it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
It's a lot. It's it's more like something you need
to say and like watch it home. That's all. The
Madonna footage kind of distracts everyone. But yeah, I mean,
I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
It's weird that I've been doing this for seventeen years,
you know, that's the that's the big thing.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
It's like that's a long time, you know, and thinking
about all the performers over the years and all the
different incarnations of it. But I'm glad we're doing, you
know something film topical again.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Last year and the year before we raised money we
sold the candles, we raised money for Bendacilius. But I'm
actually a sister this year, so my sisters are going
to come and support me. Three other bills are really
fun place. There's lots of places to kind of like
mingle and hide and then go out on the dance
floor watch the show.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
La Diva.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Chaconi had an amazing stint at Montclair Pride this year.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
I saw those videos.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
It was quite amazing.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
In eighties Medley and then later on she did a
complete recreation of the BMA Vogue performance and the people
were just like, what the hell is happening right now?
Speaker 2 (42:46):
They were probably gagged because it was so good.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
It was interesting to see how the young kids reacted
to because they they knew the song. They don't know
if they knew the performance.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
You know, I've seen a lot of queens try to
try to do it, try to do that exact performance,
and it's usually not that great. Well, yeah, you got
to get it all right, she she she nailed every.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
You have to study it, you have to you have
to be a huge fan. I'nlets you take it into
something completely different with the costume and all that. I
can see that, because I mean that's kind of what
reinvention opening was, right, It was like a reinvention of
that performance.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Right kind of yeah, because it was you know, the
I don't want to say Marie Antoinette, but like you know,
the louis the fourteenth type of costumes, you know for
the dancers here. You know, she had like the bodice on.
She changed it midway through. I think it started silver.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Like silvery like bronze, and then it went purple.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
But that was also the same It was Christian Laquaw
and it was the same corset in red that she
wore as like the Horror of Babylon with the red dress.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
Mm hmm. It's literally the same courset, but.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Without without all the without all the other dress, without
the gown and the mask and all that.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
So it's like a deconstructed Burgion of that kind.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Of I always wish that she opened the tour with
that red dress on and then like stick it off
and had just like you know what she wore in
the actual performance.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
That dress was dress. Oh my god, that was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
They used, they used, they still use the footage.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Yeah, that's why I thought it would been cool.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
She came out in that dress and then the dancers
took it off her and she had just the corset
and the fishnets and the boots on underneath, you know.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
I mean like that was how she like popped out,
you know. So I matched the footage. You know.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Did you happen to Did you happen to see that
Ecstatic Process exhibit when it was downtown in New York?
Speaker 2 (44:38):
I did not.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Oh my god, I was not being crazy.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
I believe that.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
Yeah, it was really cool. We we we actually we
smoked a little bit of marijuana.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
Before we went in, so I probably experienced it in
a little more of an extreme way than I would
have normally.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
How illegal of you because it was so illegal?
Speaker 3 (44:57):
Two and three? Yeah, so ill the rebel monster.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
My gosh, lawbreaker, throw lock you up, you throw away
the key.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Now you walk through the East or West village and
you're just in that's all you smell.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
I'm over it, Like I'm just like, I'm sick of
this smell.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
My gosh, that's true.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
You know, when things become legal and when things become alloud,
they're not as taboo anymore.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
You know, they're not as fun. You know.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Well, I don't think anybody cares. Like I was at
a I was at a concert last week in Long
Island with with with a friend of mine, my friend Catherine,
who came to visit, and like there was a guy
like maybe three or four seats like over from us,
and he just like lit up a j and I
was like, oh, okay, but like we're inside, like yeah,
(45:46):
that's funny whenever.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
I mean a lot of people do like the vape thing,
but anytime I take a pull from a vape with
marijuana in it, I have.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
To go home. Yeah. Too strong, too strong for me?
A joint. I can, like, you know, smoke a tiny bit,
pump it out and then see how I feel, then
do a little more. But that those vapes, I'm just
I'm just out of practice.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Put your put you on your ass.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
There was one time where I was at Stonewall after work.
It's hanging out with me, you know. I saw a
bunch of people I knew and we went outside and
somebody gave me a hit off their vape and I
went back in and I was like, I.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Don't even think I could finish my drink. I need
to go home right now.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
I like, I like gummies, I like edibles.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
I mean yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
The only thing that's rough about like just like a
vape is like I can't gauge whether you know, I
just get really like, I get super talkative, and sometimes
I'll say things that I'm like, this person's gonna think
I'm a weirdo. I go into uh solving the meaning
of life too quickly.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Yeah, it's all right, We've all been there.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
And I become the person that like at the party,
that like is in the corner and a few people
go and talk to them and then they walk away.
Speaker 3 (46:53):
You know that note I think it's almost time to
say I get ready for work.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
You've got to go to work. I have to wash
my face and wash my dirty body.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Watch that dirty body.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Yes, wash my dirty pillows.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
Dirty pillows. I could see it, dirty pillows. But we're
not gonna take so much, so much time before next episode.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Okay, I hope we were just out of we were
just out of rhythm because of pride and because of
just life. But uh, because we're definitely gonna we're gonna
probably have one of our guests from one of our
guests on.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
The next episode will be one of the performers you wanted, right,
I hope.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
So yeah, we'll grab somebody, we'll hit chat about Madonna
Worship and all that. But like like I said, follow
Madonna Worship on Instagram. We're on on Apple Music, We're
on Spotify.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Where else are we? Christian Mingle, Christian Mingle, We're on
Seamless Ryan.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
But if you follow us on Instagram and Madonna Worship,
or follow Stevie at stevie Vox, or follow me at
DJ choun Cyd, you can, And if you go to
my bio you can. There's a link tree up there
that has tickets to the Minonna Worship night as well
as the event at Iron Feather day before.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
The one at Iron Feather.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
Is very exclusive, so there's only about forty tickets available,
so snap. But then after nine o'clock, I think for
ten dollars you can have a dance party, so if
you miss the the tape, you can still get there
later in the evening.
Speaker 3 (48:23):
And it's sponsored by Godka Vodka or something Gotka the
open bar.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
So it's twenty dollars to get in, but it's an
open bar and there's going to be some giveaways and
stuff like that. So if you go to my link tree,
it's linked link tree slash DJ John c D if
you don't want to go to my Instagram and has
all the has our podcast links, it has Madonna Worship,
and it has the Iron Feather Physical Attraction event. So
(48:47):
that'll you know, it's all in one spot or your convenience.
And hopefully by the next time we record, maybe we'll
have a new song out, you know.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
I hope. So speaking of new song, you have a
new song out, don't you.
Speaker 3 (48:59):
It's coming out soon. It's with my friend Sarah. There
was some mix up with the with the the streaming company.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
So we thought it'd be out sooner, but it'll be
out probably by the next time we record.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
All right, great, well we'll talk about it then, I
guess exactly. All right, Well, Chauncey, you go to take
a shower and get ready for work, because you're a

Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm good. It's been like seven months.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Right, it's seven months and three years.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, and we started this We only started this podcast
a year ago.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's pretty coil.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You're in, You're in a few months. But we're still here.
We're still kicking.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
When was our last episode? On April or May? May?
It was May. It wasn't that longo.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We took a month off.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
June June, like last three months worth of time. It's
a Pride and everything.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Well, we were busy. You're extra busy. You're extra busy
during Pride month, like you like, I mean, I saw
you aside from our little excursion, I saw you for
about four minutes on minutes on Friday. It was Thursday night.
I think it was Thursday. Yeah, it was serious day night. Yeah,
I saw you for four minutes. She came in, I
(01:04):
gave you. I came in like a like a twister,
like a wrecking ball, like a wrecking ball.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Well, we had a really we had a really fun
day that we went to we went to uh.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
DC Yeah World part in DC.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Stevie and I volunteered as marshals for the Gilbert Baker Foundation.
Gilbert Baker was the man who designed the original Pride
flag that had eight colors back in the day in
the seventies. Each color represented something different. I know most
of them, but I don't want to forget any of them.
But we marshalled, and the the the DC Gay Men's
Chorus carried like an almost mile long flag down.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
The Red Route.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
It was, it was glorious, It was really hot. I
made Stevie work really hard that day. He's not used
to that kind of work.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It was.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I was fine. I was fine until the end, and
then I had to sit down.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well that's it's It's like when you have to go
to the bathroom. The closer you get to the toilet,
the more you have to go. The closer the closer
we got to the and and both of us not
being DC people, we didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Know where the end was, like in New York at
least I know at least I know where the end
is in New York. But we were like how much further?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I sat down, I pulled out I bought that fan.
I bought that like little diceon fan. It's not Dyson,
it's another brand, but it looks like like a dice
in hair dryer. And I I just like I had
a cool off. Yeah, it was, it was hot.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It was really fun. It was in the beginning of June.
You see, it was very solemn.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
As we know, the political climate is subtropical or I
don't know, I don't know what the word would be.
So things are a little weird right now, a lot
weird right now. So, like it was interesting to be
in d C for World Pride. We didn't quite make
it to the to the gay area.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
We kind of.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Ubers and lyfts are not like they are in New York.
We learned they tell you eight minutes, but that means
eighty five minutes. And so we never made it too
to the gay section before we had to like head
back home.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And then and then and then the driver calls, oh,
do you can you meet me here? I'm like, where
is that?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Do you know where this is? I'm like, no, I'm
not from around here. Oh, well do you know where
that is? I'm like, like I just said I don't.
I'm not from around here.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Can you meet me here from somewhere? No, you don't
know you from anywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It was it was annoying.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
That was that.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
That was a little annoying.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
However, we got to we did get to walk past
the White House.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, we got to get the finger.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I got to flip them off. I took a photo.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That was that was a beautiful moment. I think that
was a really beautiful moment.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Good day. We did had a good day. We got
you know, we got on the train early.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
We got there and we had it, you know, got
to explore a little bit, and uh, it was a
really fun day. It was like, I didn't know that
was the only pride moment we were going to have,
but it ended up being fun. And uh, we both
got to see each other kind of lose our ship,
which was kind of funny. I had a little tantrum.
And then the machine wouldn't take my card for Stevie's.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Ride, so TV had a little tantrum. I did.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So we got to see each other in our in
our tantrums, which we don't normally do because usually we're
so bubbly when we're around other ice.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You know what, fuck you DC. Okay, fuck your transit
system and kiss my ass.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, one thing, you know, you really take for granted,
the New York City way of life, you know, the
convenience and the everywhere you look, there's a subway somewhere
that will connect you somewhere. This was like a fifteen
minute walk just to get to a subway that we
weren't even sure it was going to take us.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But we need to go, you know, Yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I think there was somebody smoking on the subway too, right.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes there was, and it was you know, we were
we were just exhausted. It was a long, hot day.
Neither of us really got a good night's sleep.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I looked great on the train ride home.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, the train ride, homies, we were knocked out.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I was, I was done. You had to wake me up.
You're like, we're here.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I don't why you'd have to jump up when you
know whatever. Yeah, it was the only time I've ever
really been to d C is for a protest or
to see Ma Donna.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
And now we've we got to we got to experience
world pride in DC and flip off Donald Trump. You
know who's he's passing a lot of things. I just
wish he would pass away.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
He would pass Yeah right, yeah, you guys going to
be knocking on our podcast or things are things are good.
Pride was kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I don't know if the if our vast audience knows,
but I recently joined the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, so
I got to do a couple of things with them
where we're a group of activist nuns and some of
my sisters will be at Madonna Worship in August, but
we'll get we'll talk more about that later. But we're
kind of like clown face, kind of parody ish of
(05:43):
the whole idea of a nun, and we do we
do good work for the community. And I got to
do a lot of events with them this year. For Pride,
we marched in the parade. That was fun. It was
My Pride was very different this year. It wasn't so
New York based, Like I got to do an event
in uh in South Jersey. I'm doing Catskills Pride this weekend,
Montreal Pride in August, but I usually do that, so it's.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
So funny that you're coming up, You're coming up to
the cat Skills. This weekend, I'll be in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, I'll be closer to Stevie than I ever was,
and you're not even.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Going to be here sort of, I mean not terribly far.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But now it's still a bit of a still a
bit of a ride. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So like it's been a different Pride because because honestly,
like before we get into all the Madonna like, the
corporations have backed out, and there weren't I work at Stonewall,
and there weren't as many of the corporate events as
there usually are. A lot of our loyal you know,
loyal companies definitely came back into their event, but usually
it's like event after event after event, and I'm like
gractically living there. And I had like lots of time
(06:41):
off this year and able, you know, time to breathe
and do other things. So it's definitely been felt and
noticed in the in the LGBT community, especially in the
nightlife scene.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I mean it also it was you know, World Pride was.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
In DC's not New York. It's it's the fifties, fifty
sixth anniversary. It's not like a milestone versus, so you know,
who knows, maybe in a couple of years the sixtieth.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It'll be back, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It was fifty years for DC, I think though, right.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Since their first praade, but since it's Donma arrived, there's
fifty six years.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Fifty six years, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Fifty nine and a big year. So our our fifty
fifth was last year. So we were pretty busy last year.
But I'm definitely noticing the pullback. And the asked to
do a couple of corporate gigs here and there, only
gotta have to do one. Maybe maybe I'm just bad
at my job and they didn't want to invite me back.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Maybe they're just homophobic.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
When they in their pride events, they're homophobic.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
They hire straight DJ for Straight Pride Month.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, that's our wrath month. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So it's been a you know, and I'm actually like,
I'm a little surprised that Madonna hasn't been as vocal
as I thought she would be through all this, Like
I would expect a little more punch from her, you know,
but maybe she's saving it up for the new music.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Maybe the new music is going to have a message
and she's going to come out of like a you know,
I'm sure wet of a cage.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I'm sure, well, because we usually get a pretty wrathy
political statement Madonna period when there's something going on, such
as schmuck fucking Trump and office. So I guess only
time will tell.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
She loves you know, she loves to dance. She wants
people to have fun. Maybe we'll get a few songs
that have a message in them. I'm really anxious to
hear what like. I just want a taste of it.
I want like a snippet.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I mean, things have been pretty quiet. I mean Susan
Thomas is still sleeping, she's still taking her nap.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
She never woke up. She's in a coma.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I think she's she's Koma toast. She's not coma white,
but she's Koma toast.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
That's a new trend in Williamsburg, right, Komba toast.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I think so. I think it has ice cream on top.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah, they love their avocado toast, but now they like
Klema toast.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Cooma toast, yes, so, I mean, but then look who
reared her her head? She arised from from the ashes,
Miss Veronica Electronica.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yes, I was not expecting that.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I was.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I texted you that morning when I just happened to
be driving to work. I was coming down the mountain
and I opened up Spotify down.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The mountain when he comes, When he comes.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That's right, you know what, that could be your next single. Yeah,
maybe we'll have to record it. We'll record that bill
coming down the mountain when he comes. And then I
saw that, I was like, what is this? What does
this album cover? And I clicked it. I was like, oh,
and then I'm driving, so I shouldn't be looking at
my phone, but I was, and I was like, does
(09:26):
that say Veronica Electronics. I screenshoted it and I sent
it to you at like eight o'clock in the morning.
So what do you What are your thoughts on this?
I want to know because I've I've gotten a lot
of really really really not so nice opinions from other people.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Well, I mean, the.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Thing, the thing that I mean, I know that a
lot of these remixes aren't available on streaming, so that's cool.
But it's like everything that's coming out we have had already.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Or fans have already had they've had access.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I mean, but I guess it's been on CD, or
it's been on like Chromo might have it on my
like in digital form, So I guess it is cool
to like to have a physical At this point, everything
Madonna's done, like we all have, and we've all heard
most of us. So now it's just more like like
a campaign to get like other people to hear it,
you know, mm hmmm, Because I know a lot of
(10:17):
had someone think that the remix of Skin was from
her new album. And they're like a little younger than me,
like they were around when Way of Like came out.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I'm like, you don't remember this song? They were like, oh, oh,
that's right, like they actually thought it was the new album.
That is.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's kind of funny, I mean cute funny, I mean great.
I love Skin. I requested it in sixth grade for
our graduation dance. Of all Madonna's songs to request, I
wanted Skin obviously, not this remix because I play it.
I didn't go, so I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I was just one of those three write in your requests.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
We pre pre requested songs and everybody was requesting like
the Offspring and Blink E two, and I'm like, I
want to hear Skin.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You know, it's really funny. I DJ the Harvey Milk
Palm every year school. It's connected to Hetrick Martin. It's
mostly queer kids, you know, go to this school that
have been kind of out of their homes or you
know whatever, et cetera. They always they give me a
list of songs and it's billed, strangely enough, with all
emo music really at the Disco and all those people
(11:28):
taking back Sunday that was that music.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Is like their parents' music, right, because that came out
in the early two thousand So if these kids are
like sixteen and.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Yeah, well they came out Panic at the Disco came out,
I want to say, like two thousand and five, two
thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Maybe yeah, these these kids were just born then or
not even so it's got to be their parents that
listen to it.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Right or TikTok, TikTok. They bring back all the holies.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
They bring back a lot of old stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I mean, look, Connie Francis is having like a huge
resurgence right now.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
That's really funny. Truth.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
The thing that I do like is that on the
Veronical Electronica that Gon gon Gon is on it, because
that might be one of my favorite unreleased songs by.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Her, so I know a lot of people have like
expressed me, well, why are they edits? Why I don't
want edits, I want full versions, And I think a
lot of people don't realize, like the full versions of
a lot of those remixes are like ten to twelve
minutes each.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, they were like epic like opuses.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
The whole object was to release something, not just digitally.
You know, we got the vinyl release, a limited vinyl release.
That wouldn't be that wouldn't fit on a record, you know,
it would be like one remix per side, so and
then it would be like five records, you know, five discs.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Okay. I always forget about the the album, the vinyl
like limitation.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So then people would be like, well, I'm not spending
you know, eighty dollars or ninety dollars on this, you know, because.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It's five Some people would complain about that a buffet
doesn't have enough food to eat, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, you're right, I'm happy for it. Yes, we've had
all of these remixes for years, but you don't want
to know what Now they're a new edit. It's gonna
look nice on my shelf. I have something new to
stream on the Spotify Is it though?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
It? Is it? Like? Are they remastered?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Pretty sure?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well that's cool because I as futuristic as Ray of
Lake sounded when it came out, it didn't hold up
technology wise.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Maybe people feel like now listening to it now compared
to other things, it doesn't it needs a remaster.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah. No.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
When it came out, it was like super state of
the art, and it was really like, holy holy cow,
what is his sound?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
What is his music?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
But now like I'm noticing, like the bass just isn't
as thick as it should be and the you know,
maybe maybe it's because it was William wore a bit
kind of did everything kind of in his basement kind
of thing, you know, in his bedroom, So maybe he
didn't really it sounded right back then because it was new.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I mean, I'm still holding out for what like deluxe
editions where we'll have like a remastered Ray of Light,
a remastered Erotica remastered.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Maybe it could also be like the version that I
have is a lower bit rate, you know that's.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
On my computer. It could be that, you know, I
mean that always.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Plays into it because now everything's everything it's released now
is so high high bitrate and all that, So it
could just be I have like a lower bit rate.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I haven't really.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Checked even like there's just you could notice the difference,
Like if you play Ray of Light next to like
something from m DNA, you can hear there's a there's
a there's a difference. But Skin always, the original version
of Skin was always a little muffuy.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I always thought that that's how it was supposed to
sound like. It was like like an effect, you know.
They they added you know, uh, you know, electronic effect
to it to make it sound more electronic.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Rumbly, like more rumbully. They wanted to somewhere industrial.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I'm here for I love it. I love the ideas.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
You missed my job.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Oh what did you say? I'm sorry?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I said they wanted to sound more industrial.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Oh like hardcore?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, you know industrial?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, I know industrial.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm making the horns right now into the microphone. I
wish more people made industrial music, but not everybody could be,
you know, as good as you know, miss Germanata.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, but you were talking about Susan thom is still sleeping.
Isn't there aren't they releasing isn't this weekend? The you
said it's a four K release of Desperate that.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
They're screening Desperately Seeking Susan over at Night Hawk, and
I think it's the four K, like the new four
K remaster. So it's the fortieth anniversary and they did
a four K remaster of it, So I'm kinda I'm
kind of intrigued.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
You know, were you even born when it came out? No?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
No, do you know? The first time I saw Desperately
Seeking Susan was on the Common the Comedy Central.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I don't remember seeing it when I was a kid
because I was nine when it came out.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I was I remember.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Seeing I was nine when I saw it, so yeah, yeah,
I was on TV. I saw it on TV, and
I haven't recorded from TV too.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I don't remember, Like I might have watched it when
I was a kid, but I definitely didn't see it
in the theater.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, I'm I like seeing things in theaters and I.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Love the theater. I went to a lot of movies
as a kid. We me and my friends used to
go like we used to go to the like The
One o'clock Show, and to sneak into the other theaters
we used to we were movie buffs and me and
my friends and we used to I grew up in Jersey.
We used to go to Seahawcuss, like the whole Hartman Cove.
Like there were two huge theaters and we'd go to
one and just sneak into the other two.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
We'd be there all day long.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Did I tell you the story? No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
But there was a place in my hometown called Goodman's.
There's a candy store and every single piece of candy
was a penny. So we'd all go in there with
five dollars and we'd get five hundred pieces of candy
and that's what we ate all day in the movie theater.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I went to the movies once with this guy and
they had good dive of chocolate bars like up at
the register, and I was like, oh, I want that.
And I was like, oh, I'm not spending five dollars
on a chocolate bar. And then he stole it for me.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I was like, Wow, how were romantic? And that was
it the end. That was the end of my story.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Really funny. Yeah, he stole a good drive of chocolate
bar for you.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
He sure did. It was a raspberry one too.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I like that I don't know, should it should I
have been flattered that he stole a chocolate bar for me. Chivalrous,
I think, very robin Hood.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Like steal from the rich to give to the poor,
me being the poor.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, I mean it works, it works for me. Yeah,
it's it's playing Saturday. It's also playing Monday.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I think, right, yes, I'm going Saturday. So if anybody
anybody listening, Yeah, if anybody's listening sees me, you know,
come say hi. I might have a sticker for you.
Speaker 1 (17:58):

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Only I think i've seen this reachings only once in
the theater, so I would love to go. I don't
know if I can make it on Monday. I think
I'd be at work early, too early to go. Let's
just during the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
We were also thinking I'll probably will be able to
do it this year, but maybe maybe in the fall.
We're thinking of doing like a Madonna.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Movie like festival, maybe when it gets a little colder
out Chi. I know a few theaters that might be
able to make that happen. Also, I don't know if
you know about this, Stevie. We're supposed to do it
in June, but we moved to the fourteenth of August.
We're doing an event at my friend's salon and event
space in Soho called Iron Feather. There's a live taping
(19:14):
of a podcast called All I Want to Do Is
Talk about Madonna. The Party. It's a party full link.
It's also it's in my bio, it's in my link tree.
But our friend, my friend Jeffrey, huge Madonna fan. We've
known each other for years. He owns the salon along
with a couple of other people, and they're doing the
live taping of the podcast. We're gonna have a performance
by Jessica Rose.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You know miss Jessica. Do I know Miss Jessica Rose?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I know, Well, you're the reason I know her. She's
now we're doing a little dance party afterwards. So we
love my Yeah, if you go to my bio at
DJ chauncyd and you go to my link tree, it's
the second thing on the list, so you could.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I had more information about that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
But then the big billy deal of the year is
the very next day is the seventeenth annual Madonna Worship Night.
I can't believe I've been doing it for seventeen years.
My little baby is old enough to get married in some.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
State legal age of consent. Baby, Yeah, so they can consent.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So Madonna Worship can do whatever it wants now.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Just about just about. So, hey, that's it's so exciting.
And where are we having it? Where's it gonna be, baby.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
It's back at back at three dollars bill. We had
plans to do it somewhere else, but that fell through.
Just the place closed for the summer for renovations, which
kind of made me sad. I do love three other bills,
so I'm happy to create.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
It feels like home with Madonna Worship now a great
stage performances by Ladiva Chaconi Tea Boy. We're waiting on
confirmation from Como, White Crystal, Come Downs, Misty Mountains and
Vegas Valentine. Here Joe Michael will be starting the night off,
and then I'll be finishing the night. And here's an
(21:01):
exciting thing. I'm not sure if anybody knows about the
Madonna Songbook that was just published about four or five
months ago. It's this giant, heavy book of pretty much
every single Madonna song and Michelle Ruiz My my Baby
Mama and I both.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Have an entry in it. We're gonna be raffling two
copies of that book away at Madonna Worship.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
That's exciting.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
And I just asked permission from Stevie. At Madonna Worship,
we're also gonna be rappling off a guest spot on
this very podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I know I gave my blessing, he gave me my
but yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I gave the blessing. I had to ask them, ask
them first.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
And the raffle tickets, you're gonna get one with your
with your entry like your your your your cover. But
if you want to buy more, all the ticket sales
are gonna be donated to trans Lifeline, which is a
very important hotline for trans youth that are in trouble
and need someone to talk to. And as we know,
that guy has cut a lot of the funding for
(22:01):
a lot of the suicide hotlines and all the hotlines.
So it's very important that we h that we keep
our own raised up. So yeah, we always try to
do something philanthropical for Madonna Worship, So this is our
little philanthropic moment. But yeah, but you go to like
I said, if you go to Madonna Worship on Instagram,
the link is in the in the bio to get
(22:23):
your tickets and there'll be more information about that coming up.
But I just wanted to get that little exciting part
about the Madonna songbook I do. I wrote a little
thing about Vogue and Michelle wrote something about rescue me.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Amazing, amazing, It's gonna be great. It's gonna be a
great night.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Every book. So you can actually use it as a
weapon if somebody bothers you on.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
The way home, just just slap them with the book,
like it's like seven pounds slap.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
The slap the ship out of somebody. With the words
of Madonna and the and the commentary of fans. Yeah yeah, exactly,
So get her just do it, get her done?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
When does We might also have some promo items.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
It's it's it's it's up in the air for Veronica Electronica,
But when is that supposed to come out?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
So you know what's funny? It was they I think
it was a typo. Somebody must somebody must be getting
fired somewhere because there was The digital release was set
for like June, because you and I were talking about
and You're like, can't yeah it comes the album comes
out in July. I was like, yeah, but the physical
release comes out next week. I think somebody, uh, somebody
(23:34):
definitely made a made a little boo boo or maybe
it was supposed to come out early on digital, but
the physical release date, like the street date, is July
twenty fifth.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
So it's okay because I know that I know that
Skin is out.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
There, right, Skin is already out. Yeah, that's already out
on streaming, which is great. I stream the hell out
of it.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
But I tell you the remix of drown World substitute
for Love by BT and and Who's It BT and
some it is Sasha Okay is a mind bending, magical
journey of sound.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
One of my favorite remixes of back Then super Fast though,
because it's originally a ballad, so the frozen remix is
really good. The wide screen version is very good. Skypits
Havin Victor called Rohon is one of my favorite remixers.
Club sixty nine mix of Nothing Really Matters is pretty
much the one that she performed on tours, the opening
which is really amazing. The power of Goodbye though, Babyan's
(24:35):
Good God remix is insane.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And it's vinyl only.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Baby Oh, that's on vinyl only.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I think that that was only released on vinyl. I
don't think it was even on a promo CD.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It's showing on Oh meaning no, I think it was
on the promo CD. It's really crazy and it doesn't
have a lot of lyrics. If it's the one I'm
thinking of. And then one of my favorite demos that
never really I hope maybe because of this she'll pull
it out when she goes on tour again. But Gon
Gon Gone was this drum end bassed, wonderful, beautiful song
(25:09):
that I loved, or maybe.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It was sky Fits Heaven that I'm thinking. No, yeah,
maybe it was the Sky Fits Heaven when it was
just vinyl only one of them is vinyl only.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Oh like when it when it came out originally.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, well now it's obviously going to be on streaming
and on you know, colored silver vinyl.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So but yeah, I really I wish we got like
maybe one other, like like a new mix maybe you
know what I mean. But I guess this is what
was originally going to be released back then.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
So when it was you know, Urban Legend, you know,
Madonna mentioned it once or twice in interviews. I always
thought that it was going to be the remix counterpart
to the album. So I always thought it was going
to be like the full album just re envisioned, you know.
So I was expecting when when I first saw that
the Skin Remix was released on spot Fine automatically imagining like, oh,
(26:02):
it's going to be Ray of Light, you know, track
one through. However many songs there are on there, one
through has to be fully remixed, and it was going
to be like the remix counterparts. It was supposed to
be like Ray of Light in an alternate universe for
Onica Electronica. That's what I thought it was going to
end up being, and that's what I always thought it
was kind of what it was supposed to be, even
(26:23):
from the beginning. Apparently it's only going to be you know,
seven remixes in in a demo, which is fine by me.
I mean, I would have loved to have seen some
more demos get released, you know, Revenge or like a Flower.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
What I love about Revenge is for a long time
after it came out, they're leaked. Whenever her a new
album was coming out from her, people would say, have.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
You heard her new song Revenge. I'm like, that's been yeah,
that's been leaking. That's been tricking people for like four
albums now. It's so funny.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Well, I think even after I think I remember seeing
somebody posting like a mom, you know, we're a fake
you know track list for American Life, and Revenge was
on American Life's fake track list.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
So funny.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I mean, how cool would it be if she did
like like a show where there's a section just like
a bunch of like B sides and rarities that we've
never thought we'd ever hear, because I mean, we never
thought that she would have pulled out that You Threw
Me version of Erotica for Confessions, you know, not.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Just once, but twice.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Well, she did it for Celebration Tour too, she did
you Throw Me?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I remember what you mean? I'm like, what did I miss? Well?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Even like when Celebration Tours set list where like people
were like, oh, she's doing this, she's doing that, and
somebody posted it, Oh yeah, and she's doing you Throw Me.
I'm like, yeah, okay, I was like, that's not going
to happen. I guess I ate my words.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
But that was the last time she performed that was Confessions,
but it was well, you know, originally the instrumental to
You Thrill Me was a reworked version of Deeper and Deeper,
and they kept the instrumental, but she just sang Erotica
over it. If anybody, if anybody didn't know that, it's
a little bit of Madonna's trivia.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
That's right on the rain tapes.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
The Confessions tour version music of that ended up being
You Thrill Me.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Erotica was originally going to be Deeper and Deeper in
that section.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay, okay, same music.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
They just decided to change it to You Throw Me.
I don't know if anybody knows this, but you know
how fever came about?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Please enlighten me. I think I know what I don't think.
I think I think I know what it is.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I think you know too well. She was.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
She was in the process of recording good Bye the Innocence,
which didn't make it on the album, and they were
playing the beat too good Bye the Innocence, and she
started singing Fever over it because Sandra Bernhardt used to
do Fever in her in her in her show, and
it was kind of like her being like salty about
it or being like shady, and said, oh my god,
(28:56):
you need to record this. And they went out and
like back then and I they had, didn't they have?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
The lyrics were facts to them, like somebody.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
On the fly.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And she ended up recording Fever and then Goodbye to
Innocent's Got the Got the Can until uh just a
benefit album came out and then what you know, a
great song.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I I own the CD, but I would love for
that to go out on streaming. I feel like more
people need to hear Goodbye to NSNs.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Especially the like some people have a snake at the
base that they're spinning.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I know, I said, I remember when I I think
I sent it to Koma White or I played it
for Koma White, and Koma White was like obsessed.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
So it's so good, and it's it's like.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Peak, like like County nineties house.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Oh you know what it was when we were out
we were someplace and we were like yelling for you
to play Madonna and you're like, oh, okay, and you
played Uptown Sweet and I was like, oh, he's playing
Goodbye Innocence. And I was like, O wait, no, never
mind his Uptown Sweet. And then that's how that that
came about. Yeah, Cooma White was like obsessed, still obsessed
(30:03):
with that song.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
So well, the funny thing about Uptown Suite is we
heard that before we heard good Bye the Innocence, and
until I heard good Bye the Innocence, I never knew
that in the background in the beginning of Uptown Suite
you can hear her say like you could hear her read,
but it's all chopped up. So that was a really
funky time to be a Madonna.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Pan because we would get like remixes before the originals,
and then we'd get the original of the original later on,
and then like remixes would just pop out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It was really fun. I love I wish I would love.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Some more remixes, some more things.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Yeah, being a Madonna pan in the nineties was really special.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
There's a lot of things to collect. There was a
lot of things to obtain. Now it's like we're kind
of in a slump, you know, come on, Madonna, let's.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I mean, we got a couple of collaborations and like,
you know, she did that song with the Weekend, which
I love. Oh popular popular is greade. It did really well.
It's got like a gazillion streams. Hopefully he throws her
like a song for the new album and they could,
you know, to do a price can work as magic
with it. I'm imagining my my dream or my hope
for the new album is yes, there'll be some disco songs,
(31:11):
but I want Madonna to do a couple of freestyle
songs and some like old school eighties like hip hop
beats okay, but not not kitch like.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I wanted to be. I wanted to be like like,
I want, you know, a couple of fun songs. Obviously
Madonna always has a couple, have a couple of fun songs.
I want them sexy like freestyle beats. Freestyle's kind of
coming back. There's a there's a group called.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Ultra Flex and there's a girl named Alexis J who
would and also Nomi Ruiz amazing Nomi who works with
Eli Escobar.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
She's got a couple. She loves freestyles. She's got a
couple of freestyle songs on her new album.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I think Madonna's voice is really good for freestyle. And
no one's really in the pop scene exide for Brittany.
A couple of times have really delved into it.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So Brittany did a pre style song.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Well, a couple of them sounded a little freestylish, like
I mean, they're not freestyle freestyle like they had that sensibility.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Maybe maybe maybe we'll get like Madonna's like cover version
of show.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Me or like Temptation by Karna.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
There we go, let's hope.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
And the reason why I'm.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Saying this, I think I mentioned this before on the
podcast or with You is Stuart Stuart. Stuart Price used
to have an alter ego moniker called La Rhythm Digitalis
before he.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Worked with Madonna, Before he worked with.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Gwen Stefani and The Killers, and did all those remixes,
and his album is called Dark Dancer, and the album
is phenomenal and it's got all like freestyle songs and
eighties hip hop sounds and really like thick beats and
good stuff, and it was Honestly, it was the direction
I was hoping Madonna went after Confessions, but she ended
(32:52):
up working with like Timbaland and all that. So I
think I mentioned this before the podcast, but if you,
if you get a chance to check out Dark Dancer
by RYTHM the Rhythm digital Us, I might be saying
that wrongs in French, there's no h it's ryt ry
hmes digitalis. It's such a good album, and actually Shannon
(33:14):
is on it. She does a song called take a
Little Time, so he enlisted someone from the freestyle era
to perform on it. But that would be such a
cool direction for Madonna.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
To go in.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I'm definitely going to give this a listen because.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I could totally hear Madonna going in that direction, because
I can't imagine I'm doing just another Honestly, I'm all over.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
The place today.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
But I don't think Confessions had a lot of disco
songs on it.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It was dancy, it was it was kind of I mean,
was it disco like nineteen seventy nine, you know, like
peak disco. No, but there was a lot, a lot
of disco elements to it, No, I know.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
And like her her visuals. Yeah, but what I'm saying
is it sounded more eighties. Even even Hung Up had
like that eighties like grinding, high energy, new wave kind.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Of beat to it. And I love that's a perfect album.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
But it's funny how she chose to use disco visuals
to go with like an eighties album.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Maybe we'll get more. I hope we get more. I'm
jones In. I say that every every episode that we
recall that we recall that we record, I'm jones In. Madonna,
give me something.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
I just wanted, like a little snippet to find out
what direction she's going in.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
But you know what, she'll probably release a little snippet.
It won't even be like what it is. It's like
Hahn just kidding.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
She must really be fine tuning it because.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
She's been quiet. She's been very quiet about a lot
of things, Like she's just been silent, so very very silent.
And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
She lost her stepmom.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, well yeah, obviously, like the tour.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Was probably like really tiring. You know, you haven't with
that man though.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
She would with her man, and well, yeah, that's all
we see, the man and the man and the kids.
I mean, that's fine. I mean, I'm happy that she's
still posting. I'm happy that she's you know, she looks well.
She's apparently feeling.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Welladstanding that everyone's talking about mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I mean, lordis is doing well too. Look at her,
She's she's performing. I think she was performing someplace like
in in in France or something, or England. She was
doing a show or something, or maybe I made that up.
It's very possible. I vaguely remember seeing that they posted
something like that that she was doing doing a show.
I mean, I guess, like Madonna Familia is doing really well,
(35:42):
but I still want an album. We're single, we're in
the summer, give us like a summer single. I always
I thought that the album would be released by like October.
That's what I was envisioning in my mind, Like we
would get an album released by October and it would
blow up and everybody would be Team Madonna and sell
(36:04):
a billion records and everybody would be happy. Like peace
would be restored to earth.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
That's why I wonder if she's gonna do like just
like pop it out.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Well, maybe maybe she'll do like Beyonce. Beyonce just like
Boop drops it.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Yeah, very unlike her, so it could. You know, everyone
else has done.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
It, so she's never done that before. She's never just
been like slowly just like Boop.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I guess time will tell and time will stand still.
You know what I wanted to ask you, it's it's
not really off topic. Somebody might think it's off topic.
Did you watch the Pee Wee documentary?
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I still I keep forgetting to finish the second half.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Okay, well the second half has Deb in it, Debbie Masar.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
I think I watched it, but like through like my eyelids.
I call it like I was like half asleep.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, you know special. I think that anybody listening,
if you haven't watched it, I'll watch it. You will
ball your eyes out. It was so good.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
You learned so much about him.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Paul was an amazing person, and that's all that there
is to it. But deb was on there, you know,
and she shared like photos and things that I'm watching,
and I'm like, oh, I wonder if there's gonna be
you know, a picture of him and him and m
you know, was she there?
Speaker 3 (37:14):
You know?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And no photos of them together. I do think that
Paul did have backstage passes to the Who's That Girl Show,
one of the one of the Who's That Girl Tour shows,
because he does have a backstage pass, you know, on
his wall or something. And I was like, oh, I
wish that, you know, there was like just you know,
one little photo of Paul Devi and Madonna right well,
(37:42):
like the next day after it aired, Madonna was posting
like pictures and videos of her table setting, and you
know what was on the table the pee wee Herman
pullstring doll. And I was like, oh, she knows. I
was like, oh, maybe she watched. She probably has a
Bomax and she watched it. I was like, that's sweet.
(38:03):
So maybe maybe there there is a photo someplace of them.
So yeah, I have the pol string doll too.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
You told me that. But it doesn't doesn't talk.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
It doesn't talk any I wonder if I could get
it restored or something. But I mean I played with it.
It was it was you know, I used to bring
it everywhere with me and I used to play the
hell out of it. It's yeah, it was sweet. It
was It was a good documentary. And I'm happy that
Madonna acknowledged and you know, give a little, a little,
not a little toast to the Peewee.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
She is.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
She is much more aware of what's going on in
the world than I think people give her credit for it.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Well, I think, you know, we forget. I guess like
that Madonna does have access to she does have the internet,
she does have a cell phone, She has friends that
probably fill her in on things, has children, you know.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Yeah, it was really cool to see Peewee like talk
about his past and how snarky he was with the director.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
It was really fun.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
He was He was a great guy. He really was.
He was a great He was hilarious. And even even
in his older years, like like in the interview footage
like obviously was shot well before he you know, was
very sick and dying. I thought he looked fabulous.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yeah, he looked.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
He looked really good, very even as an even as
an older man. I thought I found him very handsome. Yeah, no,
I agree, I agree, very very handsome.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
So he was younger. I like, like I could see
him being like a real like fox, like like everybody
wanted him because he was like kind of like very
ish and kind of like you know that slim, kind
of interesting looking, not not conventionally handsome.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
You know, scruffy hair, you know.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Yeah, like he had like a cool thing about him
back then. Yeah, it would have been funny if I'm
surprised Madonna didn't end up on a show at some point,
like with all the other people.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
I think she was a little busy at the time. Like, yeah,
he the actual was probably so packed full.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Because it's interesting how a lot of those like big
cultural moments like she kind of wasn't able to be
a part of. But then then she made her own
cultural moments, you know, like Wayne's World, Yeah, the Saturday Live,
Like Madonna was always great on Saturday Lives. It's just
interesting how she like found the right moments but also
like missed these like oh I wish she did this,
(40:24):
I wish she did that, you know.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
But you know, you know it's also the fortieth anniversary
of Live Aid that's right. Yeah, I thought that they
would have done something. Yeah, I thought that they would
have done something you know, forty years because it's such
a huge you know, not just for Madonna but for
all music at that time. You know, it's such a huge,
(40:48):
like music history moment.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Yeah right, Yeah, that was a big I.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Know CNN was was doing something. They were doing like
their own little documentary on it. I don't know if
it ever air or when it airs, but I should
look that up. Let's see, because i'd love to. I
wish that we'd have like a full show and not
just you know, two Madonna tracks. At least Love makes
the World Go Around.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Yeah, that's our favorite. I got to remember to play
that on Mona Worship.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
I'll remind you, Yeah, please remind me. Oh well, I'll
badger you.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
I got to start out.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
I don't know whether I'm going to have like a
little I usually do, like a video moment. I got
to figure out what I'm going to do that again
this year.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
It will be interesting to see what you come up with,
because you always have really good creative ideas with that.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
There's one year I did I redid Rescue Me. One
year last year I reread the Charlie Chaplin The Great
Dictator speech, which I don't think everyone understood it's because
it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
It's a lot. It's it's more like something you need
to say and like watch it home. That's all. The
Madonna footage kind of distracts everyone. But yeah, I mean,
I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
It's weird that I've been doing this for seventeen years,
you know, that's the that's the big thing.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
It's like that's a long time, you know, and thinking
about all the performers over the years and all the
different incarnations of it. But I'm glad we're doing, you
know something film topical again.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Last year and the year before we raised money we
sold the candles, we raised money for Bendacilius. But I'm
actually a sister this year, so my sisters are going
to come and support me. Three other bills are really
fun place. There's lots of places to kind of like
mingle and hide and then go out on the dance
floor watch the show.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
La Diva.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Chaconi had an amazing stint at Montclair Pride this year.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
I saw those videos.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
It was quite amazing.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
In eighties Medley and then later on she did a
complete recreation of the BMA Vogue performance and the people
were just like, what the hell is happening right now?
Speaker 2 (42:46):
They were probably gagged because it was so good.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
It was interesting to see how the young kids reacted
to because they they knew the song. They don't know
if they knew the performance.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
You know, I've seen a lot of queens try to
try to do it, try to do that exact performance,
and it's usually not that great. Well, yeah, you got
to get it all right, she she she nailed every.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
You have to study it, you have to you have
to be a huge fan. I'nlets you take it into
something completely different with the costume and all that. I
can see that, because I mean that's kind of what
reinvention opening was, right, It was like a reinvention of
that performance.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Right kind of yeah, because it was you know, the
I don't want to say Marie Antoinette, but like you know,
the louis the fourteenth type of costumes, you know for
the dancers here. You know, she had like the bodice on.
She changed it midway through. I think it started silver.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Like silvery like bronze, and then it went purple.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
But that was also the same It was Christian Laquaw
and it was the same corset in red that she
wore as like the Horror of Babylon with the red dress.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
Mm hmm. It's literally the same courset, but.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Without without all the without all the other dress, without
the gown and the mask and all that.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
So it's like a deconstructed Burgion of that kind.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Of I always wish that she opened the tour with
that red dress on and then like stick it off
and had just like you know what she wore in
the actual performance.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
That dress was dress. Oh my god, that was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
They used, they used, they still use the footage.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Yeah, that's why I thought it would been cool.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
She came out in that dress and then the dancers
took it off her and she had just the corset
and the fishnets and the boots on underneath, you know.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
I mean like that was how she like popped out,
you know. So I matched the footage. You know.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Did you happen to Did you happen to see that
Ecstatic Process exhibit when it was downtown in New York?
Speaker 2 (44:38):
I did not.
Speaker 3 (44:39):
Oh my god, I was not being crazy.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
I believe that.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
Yeah, it was really cool. We we we actually we
smoked a little bit of marijuana.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
Before we went in, so I probably experienced it in
a little more of an extreme way than I would
have normally.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
How illegal of you because it was so illegal?
Speaker 3 (44:57):
Two and three? Yeah, so ill the rebel monster.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
My gosh, lawbreaker, throw lock you up, you throw away
the key.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Now you walk through the East or West village and
you're just in that's all you smell.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
I'm over it, Like I'm just like, I'm sick of
this smell.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
My gosh, that's true.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
You know, when things become legal and when things become alloud,
they're not as taboo anymore.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
You know, they're not as fun. You know.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Well, I don't think anybody cares. Like I was at
a I was at a concert last week in Long
Island with with with a friend of mine, my friend Catherine,
who came to visit, and like there was a guy
like maybe three or four seats like over from us,
and he just like lit up a j and I
was like, oh, okay, but like we're inside, like yeah,
(45:46):
that's funny whenever.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
I mean a lot of people do like the vape thing,
but anytime I take a pull from a vape with
marijuana in it, I have.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
To go home. Yeah. Too strong, too strong for me?
A joint. I can, like, you know, smoke a tiny bit,
pump it out and then see how I feel, then
do a little more. But that those vapes, I'm just
I'm just out of practice.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Put your put you on your ass.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
There was one time where I was at Stonewall after work.
It's hanging out with me, you know. I saw a
bunch of people I knew and we went outside and
somebody gave me a hit off their vape and I
went back in and I was like, I.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Don't even think I could finish my drink. I need
to go home right now.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
I like, I like gummies, I like edibles.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
I mean yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
The only thing that's rough about like just like a
vape is like I can't gauge whether you know, I
just get really like, I get super talkative, and sometimes
I'll say things that I'm like, this person's gonna think
I'm a weirdo. I go into uh solving the meaning
of life too quickly.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Yeah, it's all right, We've all been there.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
And I become the person that like at the party,
that like is in the corner and a few people
go and talk to them and then they walk away.
Speaker 3 (46:53):
You know that note I think it's almost time to
say I get ready for work.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
You've got to go to work. I have to wash
my face and wash my dirty body.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Watch that dirty body.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Yes, wash my dirty pillows.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
Dirty pillows. I could see it, dirty pillows. But we're
not gonna take so much, so much time before next episode.
Speaker 1 (47:15):
Okay, I hope we were just out of we were
just out of rhythm because of pride and because of
just life. But uh, because we're definitely gonna we're gonna
probably have one of our guests from one of our
guests on.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
The next episode will be one of the performers you wanted, right,
I hope.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
So yeah, we'll grab somebody, we'll hit chat about Madonna
Worship and all that. But like like I said, follow
Madonna Worship on Instagram. We're on on Apple Music, We're
on Spotify.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Where else are we? Christian Mingle, Christian Mingle, We're on
Seamless Ryan.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
But if you follow us on Instagram and Madonna Worship,
or follow Stevie at stevie Vox, or follow me at
DJ choun Cyd, you can, And if you go to
my bio you can. There's a link tree up there
that has tickets to the Minonna Worship night as well
as the event at Iron Feather day before.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
The one at Iron Feather.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
Is very exclusive, so there's only about forty tickets available,
so snap. But then after nine o'clock, I think for
ten dollars you can have a dance party, so if
you miss the the tape, you can still get there
later in the evening.
Speaker 3 (48:23):
And it's sponsored by Godka Vodka or something Gotka the
open bar.
Speaker 1 (48:27):

open bar and there's going to be some giveaways and
stuff like that. So if you go to my link tree,
it's linked link tree slash DJ John c D if

was some mix up with the with the the streaming company.
