- 1:18the hair. It's like it's got the like the
- 1:2090s like floppy hair or it's kind of anime.
- 1:23So it's a little bit, you know, a little bit from column A,
- 1:26little bit from column B. Some sort and I just realized
- 1:32the P mask is in my you know I when I start to get ready I just
- 1:45kind of push the mic over here 'cause I get ready in here now
- 1:49and so I just pulled it over and then just sat down and was like
- 1:54OK, let's go so. That's why I'm actually really
- 1:57glad that I can get ready like at my vanity 'cause I just, I
- 2:00have my routine down. I have like and I don't have to.
- 2:02But then the problem is that I have to bring everything out
- 2:04here and like tonight I was running a little bit behind
- 2:07schedule and I don't know why I was running behind schedule, but
- 2:10I was. Is Mercury in retrograde or
- 2:13something? It's.
- 2:14Somebody let me know. I don't know.
- 2:17It there's a lot of weird things happening and.
- 2:19I I feel like that's probably a thing, but yeah, I was like, I
- 2:24don't understand why I'm running so far behind.
- 2:27I don't know. I don't, I don't know but.
- 2:29Can I blame the holiday season? Yes, I think that's fair.
- 2:38Yeah, yeah, the holiday season fucks everything up.
- 2:40Everything. Happy and jolly and stressful.
- 2:44Welcome. Oh yes.
- 2:48Yes, yes, yes, yes. We have a show packed for you.
- 2:51Tonight. We're gonna talk about being hot
- 2:54with our clothes on. Yes, you heard that right.
- 2:58Hot with your clothes on. And not like temperature.
- 3:03Yeah, yeah. Like, yeah.
- 3:09Or as I hear often high school students say, period.
- 3:17Bat. Anyway, we'll also be talking
- 3:22about ways that we are feeling less human these days because
- 3:29especially on International Human Rights Day, we are rolling
- 3:33back human rights. Oh, it's National Human Rights
- 3:37Day. That's exciting.
- 3:38Not in America. This white man.
- 3:46This white man. Well, they're the only ones that
- 3:49really matter. I mean, if you're not sis white
- 3:53and like middle-aged with. You know, is that what it is?
- 3:57Income of you know at least what 200 K plus these days like I
- 4:03feel like. 200K is like poverty level for people I.
- 4:07Was being generous. So I.
- 4:10Was being generous. I need somebody that can make
- 4:15500 and more anyway. I just need to either a be
- 4:23independently wealthy so I can just retire and the fact that I
- 4:27haven't won the lottery yet I feel is extraordinarily
- 4:29transphobic, or I just need somebody to pay me to be trans,
- 4:34whatever that looks like. I need them to do that.
- 4:36Oh, those people already doing that?
- 4:39You haven't caught on. I'm, I don't think I'm hot
- 4:45enough, like I have to either be ripped, you know what I mean?
- 4:47Like so I can do those videos where it's like, oh, you want me
- 4:50in the women's restroom and they're flexing and shit.
- 4:53I they would just be like OK old hairy white dude with.
- 5:01With that being said, what are some of your favorite cold
- 5:06weather clothes or accessories that make you feel hot?
- 5:09You want me to go first? Enter in the chat.
- 5:18I feel like there's one person watching.
- 5:20Who are you? We have so many people that
- 5:23listen to the podcast. Should we just start making
- 5:26these for the podcast? Right.
- 5:30Anyway, so I think during the winter I have these fleece lined
- 5:45pants and they're like, they're like yoga pants, but they're not
- 5:52like they don't have that. Well, I have a butt so I don't
- 5:58know what it looks like back there, but you know what I'm
- 6:06talking about. Cause all year long I wonder,
- 6:09oh, yoga pants and they have it's, it's not and it's enough
- 6:20to keep you warm, but not enough to like burn you up.
- 6:26I love those. I also have like these Nike pads
- 6:30that I got at like off the rack or something.
- 6:33I looked them up and I think they're like more than I can
- 6:36afford regularly. So I like those two and they're
- 6:40red and they show off my back. I will, I will, I will people.
- 6:48I will talk about what I feel like when I like what I like.
- 6:52Later, later, oh, I also have other things, but those are the

- 9:09I know that some people are like this is too good to be true.
- 9:14I've been wearing them for more than a decade.
- 9:18Most of anything that I wear, If you go, oh, I love that it's
- 9:23probably her 'cause I rarely. And my all of my like nicer not
- 9:29shitty wigs are marissa's so. Yeah, so every time you
- 9:35compliment me, you just know that I did.
- 9:38I didn't pay that much for it. Also, there are those people
- 9:48that like pay $400.00 and then the costume doesn't.
- 9:53But that's that's tea that I'm not ready to serve 'cause
- 9:56sometimes I could be put on the the rack to be served depending
- 10:03on the day or I just completely forget them.
- 10:06How was your weekend? My weekend was actually pretty
- 10:12full. Friday was Winterfest at my
- 10:18partner's work and, and she works at like a like childcare
- 10:22and and and things and it's always super cute, like all the,
- 10:27all the classrooms. Day of.
- 10:30That. Day 'cause we had Winterfest
- 10:32too. Like all the the classrooms like
- 10:36decorate like in a different theme or whatever.
- 10:38There's different activities for the kids.
- 10:40Santa's there they and every time when they go see Santa,
- 10:44they get like a book and a toy. It's super cute and it always
- 10:50blows my mind because we always end up.
- 10:53I think I've gone every year since she started working there
- 10:58and we always end up greeting people at the front as soon as
- 11:02they come in and direct them. You know, if you want to do
- 11:04crafts, crafts this way, Santa's this way, whatever.
- 11:07She knows the name of every fucking kid that comes in and
- 11:11there are well over 200 children, no?
- 11:16Way. She knows every single one of
- 11:18them and I'm like I can barely know the fucking names of the
- 11:21people that live in my house and there's only like 4 of us. 4 1/2
- 11:26like I, I do not under I I don't know how she does it.
- 11:30We all know that I am terrible with names.
- 11:32I can never remember anybody's name ever.
- 11:35And we can come in and she greets every single one of them
- 11:39by name and it blows my mind every single time.
- 11:46Blows my mind every single time. And I'm like.
- 11:48Tell me your secrets, please. How?
- 11:53How? How?
- 11:54And like 90% of them all look the same 'cause they're toddlers
- 11:57and all the fucking toddlers look alike, you know, like
- 12:01little mushy gremlins. Like they all kind of look the
- 12:04same. I'm like, I don't know how the
- 12:06hell she does it. And it's I'm just like I, I
- 12:10don't remember most of her coworkers names even though I've
- 12:13been introduced to them, right? Like I've seen them regularly
- 12:16and I'm like. I feel like she's like, like
- 12:18she's one of those people that if she had had twins, she would
- 12:23be able to tell them apart right away.
- 12:25Probably. She's one of those people.
- 12:29Yeah, I would probably have to tattoo one on their forehead
- 12:31just to be sure I didn't fuck it up.
- 12:36Oh my God. Like I, it I.
- 12:41You enjoyed my best. But it was fun.
- 12:43It was cute like it's, it's always fun.
- 12:45Like the kids are, you know, one, one of them was came up and
- 12:50and looked at me and went who's that?
- 12:55He's like, like that's my husband.
- 12:57They're like, oh, I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm not that.
- 13:02Do they notice that you might be the gay friend too?
- 13:06Probably. They're probably like, OK, I can
- 13:10see. So Saturday was busy, got up and
- 13:14basically ran a bunch of errands 'cause I had to run all over the
- 13:16place to pick up prizes for Sunday.
- 13:19And we made our we made our daughter come with us.
- 13:22Does she need to get out of the fucking house and out of her
- 13:24fucking bedroom? Oh yeah, I understand that
- 13:28story. So we basically didn't give her
- 13:30a choice. There's.
- 13:32A hovering, sorry. Yeah, to leave your friends at
- 13:38the club next time. And we stopped at Shay Cheese
- 13:43first, which? I'm like, who are they?
- 13:46That was smart because we got cheese and stuff to snack on and
- 13:51my daughter loves cheese. Oh my God, it was so good.
- 13:54We got I don't even remember what the hell we got.
- 13:57There was a gouda that we tried that was really good.
- 14:01There was a was it garlic and chive or something?
- 14:05It was really good. There was one that was made with
- 14:08flowers that was really good. We had some really it was really
- 14:13good. Y'all need to go check out,
- 14:14check out Shea cheese if you haven't.
- 14:17It is at 32nd St. and Shea and in the Shaver hood and it's
- 14:24really, really good. Their sandwiches are good.
- 14:26Their cheese boards are good. Like they have all sorts of fun
- 14:28cheeses. So she was, she was happy that,
- 14:32you know, she got cheese. And then I had to drive all the
- 14:36way out to the east side 'cause I had to go to Spooky Swirls and
- 14:38the Toasted Mallow and. Just tell me.
- 14:46The folks at Spooky Squirrels were were super, super nice.
- 14:49They always donate stuff for our big Drag Story Hour fundraiser
- 14:58in February. They always donate stuff.
- 15:01We always end up getting cupcakes from there for the
- 15:03fundraiser, like all sorts of stuff.
- 15:05So they were super excited to be able to help out with this too.
- 15:12And I got some cupcakes and they were really yummy.
- 15:18And then over to the Toasted Mallow.
- 15:20I didn't get to chat with the owner.
- 15:22She's out of town. But for those of you that.
- 15:25Don't know that you met those are and didn't say hello.
- 15:29I was busy and she was out of town.
- 15:34But for those of the folks that don't know, Toasted Mallow is
- 15:37queer owned, Hand woman owned, so, you know, and it's out on
- 15:42the East side. So if you're in Gilbert, you
- 15:44know, go check them out 'cause they're really good, Will.
- 15:46Text me and say hello. Oh.
- 15:49My God their oatmeal cream pies are like the best.
- 15:55I end up getting marshmallow like all over my face.
- 15:58It gets stuck in my hair like I get.
- 16:00I've heard that before. I literally I'm like I didn't
- 16:03even like freaking marshmallow in my mustache for like an hour
- 16:06and I'm like y'all didn't want to tell me this cool thank you.
- 16:11And then we drove back home, dropped off our daughter and all
- 16:16the stuff in the car and then went to go pick up our trees.
- 16:19We'd go get a tree. We went to get the tree, brought
- 16:22the. Tree.
- 16:22You got a live tree? Yeah.
- 16:23Yeah, we always get a live tree. Let's get a live tree.
- 16:29And then Sunday was the sugar plum showdown, the Bake Off.
- 16:34What such I'm? Just kidding.
- 16:38I thought it was a cute little event it.
- 16:41Was. I, I think people like
- 16:47legitimately missed out. Like if they didn't go, like, I
- 16:50feel like it could have been a really, really cute event,
- 16:53especially since it was 18 and over.
- 16:56People are always like, there's nothing out here for people that
- 16:58are 18 and over, blah, blah, blah.
- 16:59Well, here was an event and yeah, didn't go.
- 17:06There's nothing out here for people that don't drink.
- 17:08Oh, here's an event that has no alcohol.
- 17:10That was good. You should put that recipe on
- 17:13there on Patreon. Yes, because I followed an exact
- 17:19recipe. Oh, just I don't.
- 17:22Know your business? You didn't even tell me, toasted
- 17:24Milo. I'm rude down the street.
- 17:32But it was, it was cute. It was a fun little event.
- 17:35And like the people that were there seemed to have fun.
- 17:39We had some yummy little goodies.
- 17:41Our judges were awesome. Like I said, it was kind of
- 17:44disappointing not to see more folks there just because it is
- 17:46literally shit that people have been asking for, you know?
- 17:52Oh, there's nothing. Like I said, they people are
- 17:53always bitching that there's nothing out here for people that
- 17:56are 18 and over. There's nothing out here for
- 17:57people that don't really drink. I was a little disappointed to
- 18:04not see more court folks there. I know a lot of people were in
- 18:09Vegas but there were plenty who weren't, including our other
- 18:15line member and our emperor. They were both in town and they
- 18:19didn't go to the event. And I will.
- 18:22I have no problem saying that on this because it's a thing like
- 18:27your your literal job, but you know, whatever.
- 18:32Not your literal job. It literally is, you know?
- 18:37So. That's it.
- 18:38It would have been, it would have been good to have our other
- 18:41line number there and you know, our emperor, but that's fine.
- 18:46It is what it is. Like I said, I think that it was
- 18:50a super fun event and I think that it could have been super
- 18:56fun for folks, but. I I thought you all did a
- 18:59wonderful job and I may have had more than one of each thing.
- 19:11The sick part that you're not including in any of us is there
- 19:16was a challenge that was involved and I was not aware
- 19:19that this challenge was gonna appear, but it was a Bake Off.
- 19:24Anything can happen Twist, plot twist.
- 19:31So then Freddy has this grin that he does that, you know,
- 19:37he's up to no good. And he's like, so we have one
- 19:39more thing and I'm like, uh oh, what is this thing?
- 19:45And he wanted us to build a gingerbread house in 6 minutes
- 19:54and. We had teams.
- 19:55Yeah, we had teams, but there was only two things of frosting
- 20:01and not that many pieces of the house and some of the pieces of
- 20:05the houses broke off. Look those that was like 2 kits
- 20:11and each kit supposedly could make 4 houses.
- 20:13So y'all, y'all weren't obviously you guys didn't do it
- 20:18right because it it should have been able to make at least.
- 20:21Mine was. 4 houses per kit. And ours was one of two standing
- 20:26by itself. Pretty much it was.
- 20:31And there was like 5 of us. Yeah, I should have.
- 20:34Actually, we literally watched the house fall.
- 20:37Yeah, it was just like, wow it. Was it went it was standing.
- 20:43As soon as it hit the table, it went.
- 20:45And then it just skipped. It was fun, though.
- 20:50It was pandemonium. It was, it was great.
- 20:53And we did end up raising like 200 bucks for dragstory hours.
- 20:55So, you know, I'm OK with that. So that was pretty much oh so a
- 21:04couple weeks ago I did like my pet.
- 21:06Petty peeve that. Of ugly plates.
- 21:09Yes, I have another one this week that I need to.
- 21:13I need to throw out that. Ugly plate though.
- 21:16It's actually ugly plate adjacent but not so these videos
- 21:25randomly. Like I get a lot of food videos
- 21:28on my feet and this so I sent Felicia one the other night,
- 21:37which I thought was fantastic. I I another one of his popped up
- 21:40and I'm like, Oh my God, this is amazing.
- 21:41This dude's awesome, but. IA peeve.
- 21:47No, I cannot stand the people on the social media who
- 21:52purposefully make shitty recipes that are never you're not going
- 21:56to eat them. What do you mean?
- 21:58So like the dude, there's one dude on there who makes like
- 22:02gross recipes from like the 50s, like the ones that are like
- 22:05gelatin or like aspic and shit. Like he makes that stuff and
- 22:10you're never gonna eat it like other casseroles and things that
- 22:14you're like you're, you know, you are not going to eat this.
- 22:16This is not going to eat be eaten.
- 22:19But what pisses me off about it is especially right now, I'm
- 22:24like, OK, it's great that you have that much disposable income
- 22:28that you can waste that much food, but there are people who
- 22:32are literally struggling to feed their family while you're
- 22:34wasting 30 to $50.00 worth of food.
- 22:39Like I, I cannot stand it. Or the people like the, you
- 22:44know, they're like, oh, look, this is the best way to eat such
- 22:46and such thing. And they just, they buy it, they
- 22:48put on a plate and then they immediately put it in the trash.
- 22:49And I'm like, why are you wasting food?
- 22:57OK, that's like my biggest thing.
- 23:00Like I always wonder, as much as I love baking shows, I know that
- 23:07there's only three three judges and there's like 6 cakes.
- 23:13They all eat it. It all gets it all gets no, it
- 23:17all gets like shared and the crew, I guess get to eat it and
- 23:20and all those things like I hope.
- 23:22So yeah. But like this shit, like it, it
- 23:26pisses me off. I'm like, you just wasted like
- 23:31broth and protein and all of like vegetables and things.
- 23:35Like you just wasted all of this because you insisted on making
- 23:40this recipe that you know is going to be inedible.
- 23:43Like, and that's the whole shtick is that you're making
- 23:45these disgusting recipes. Well, that's probably how he's
- 23:49making us money. Right by wasting food, which
- 23:54drives me bat shit crazy, especially right now, especially
- 23:57with people struggling like, you know, and I'm like the, the
- 24:03amount of privilege that goes into this shit and I'm like
- 24:08super cute, great. I no, I'm like, I, I can't, I
- 24:16can't support it. I can't.
- 24:19Like it is not OK to do this shit right now and like,
- 24:26alright, you want to do stuff for entertainment, do something
- 24:29that doesn't waste something that people are struggling to
- 24:33have right now. Like that shit just it's gross.
- 24:37It is gross and it reeks of privilege and I hate it.
- 24:40And it's almost always white people.
- 24:46Well, I'll tell you, my mom would probably get on the plane
- 24:48to whip my butt if she saw me throwing food in the trash on
- 24:53purpose. Right, like you're gonna.
- 24:57You're literally. Squeak and I'm looking at this
- 24:59and I'm like, it doesn't seem like a lot, but it starts adding
- 25:02up like 30 bucks barely gets you like a basket of groceries now.
- 25:07So it's like I see what's going, the ingredients that are going
- 25:10into these things and I'm like that's easy.
- 25:11Third, easily 30 to $50.00 worth of food that you're wasting.
- 25:17Like, I don't know, it's just AI don't know.
- 25:21I, I think it's gross and privileged and people need to, I
- 25:26don't know, I don't like. It I think it's gross.
- 25:29How was your weekend? I haven't thrown any food away
- 25:34so that's good. So we had winter fest at our.
- 25:41I'm sure it's not as big as y'all's school or daycare but
- 25:51the kids had fun. People were selling baked goods.
- 25:56A little disappointed in like the food and beverage but I'm
- 26:03OK. I didn't have to pay to get in
- 26:06or anything so that's fine. But the kids had the most fun
- 26:15because they brought this. It's not snow.
- 26:19But I know I can't get these things without money.
- 26:27And I'm sure the parents would not want to spend more money
- 26:30'cause they already charge you for everything.
- 26:34But anyhow, it was like soap. I think it's soap or some kind
- 26:40of formula that it makes it look like snow is.
- 26:43Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the same thing they do with
- 26:45like the zoo and and. Yeah.
- 26:47Yeah, it's basically unsaved snow.
- 26:50Yeah, and so Lily got it pretty much all over her being and
- 27:00yeah, couldn't leave there until they turned it off 'cause that's
- 27:05the interaction. Sometimes parenting is great,
- 27:12but sometimes parenting is hard because you're like, we got to
- 27:17go now. So then I'm like trying to find
- 27:20somebody. Can you turn that off?
- 27:22Turn that off so I can leave without having to fight a child.
- 27:27Oh my God, yeah, no, that. I'm glad we don't have to deal
- 27:30with that shit. Oh my, no.
- 27:32Well, your kids are older and they can drive themselves.
- 27:37You're like, you don't want to leave, that's fine.
- 27:38You can either Uber or drive yourself home, I don't care.
- 27:40Yeah. At this point, it's it's we live
- 27:44close enough so you want to walk home, but I feel like the older
- 27:49one would do something like, no, I'll just go stay at somebody's
- 27:52house and I'll be like, no. And then I don't remember what
- 28:02we did on Saturday. Fart, fart anyway.
- 28:09And then I thought Sunday was very fun.
- 28:15Wore one of my favorite dresses 'cause it looks like a sweater,
- 28:19but it's not a sweater. And then I loved getting to talk
- 28:27to folks who are the two gentlemen.
- 28:31Now I'm not remembering names. I spoke to OH.
- 28:38They made the blondies. Did they make the blondies?
- 28:40Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 28:41They're the, they're the my pool.
- 28:43Boys, is that the yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what it is, OK.
- 28:46Joshua and fuck. We don't remember names here.
- 28:52Josh and Derek. I I barely pronounce them Josh
- 28:56and Derek and so yeah, just great talking to people.
- 29:07I will tell you that we had a so we got a lift home.
- 29:16Me and a friend of ours got where?
- 29:23The fuck did the balloons? Come from.
- 29:33Where did that? What?
- 29:54We got a lift home. Was that what I said?
- 29:57And then all the sudden the balloons came up.
- 29:59I. Don't know what you must have
- 30:02done something that made them. I didn't do anything,
- 30:17so when we got the lift, the lift driver was very
- 30:25interesting. Oh.
- 30:29So to speak that Amber is great at redirecting.
- 30:35Let's say that 'cause he started talking about childhood traumas.
- 30:41Oh dear God, what the hell. Right off the bat.
- 30:46OK. Then we were both looking at
- 30:50each other like what the fuck is happening?
- 30:56No way. And so then he was talking about
- 31:06how his parents were wrong and they should have never had kids
- 31:10and Jesus Christ. It.
- 31:13It went on to something that I had never imagined discussing
- 31:19with an Uber driver that I was like.
- 31:21Why? Why?
- 31:23Why? So I just have words of wisdom
- 31:29for Uber and Lyft drivers. We don't deserve your whole
- 31:34story. Don't trauma dump on your
- 31:37passengers. The fuck?
- 31:41It was so interesting. And she's so positive that she
- 31:46was like, yeah. And but I was like, Oh, my God.
- 31:52And we had split it. So then she gets out of the car
- 31:55and I have to, like, ride the rest of the way.
- 31:58And he continues. Poor guy.
- 32:03I did encourage therapy, though. We are not a product of our
- 32:08traumas, but we can learn from them to be better people.
- 32:13That is how I feel after that. Yeah.
- 32:18And now I need my certificate in therapy.
- 32:22Did I earn it? Yeah.
- 32:23I spent like 45 minutes in a car being a therapist.
- 32:28It's wonderful. God, another skill.
- 32:36Oh God. So yeah, it's just been and the
- 32:42week has been just oddly weird in general.
- 32:47I don't know if you've felt that way, but.
- 32:49Yeah, no, I it has been and I think it's, I think it's because
- 32:55we're on that like slope into the holidays and people are
- 33:01stressing about. Money.
- 33:05Money and gifts and all this shit that comes along with all
- 33:10of the shit. So yeah, that doesn't.
- 33:14And I feel like everybody's trying to get everything done by
- 33:16the holidays and. Oh, 100%.
- 33:20I'm like, oh, but I have AI have a case study open and I, I can't
- 33:26like I, I can't really rush it. So could you do that?
- 33:30No, there's no such thing as can you hurry up and do it?
- 33:34No, sorry, no, durations don't end because you ended right.
- 33:43That's not that's not how that works.
- 33:46This is this is like the the so fucking Co workers.
- 33:53So we were before Thanksgiving, like at our morning meetings and
- 34:00stuff, which thank God or not on camera, but like people are
- 34:04talking about like, you know, what kind of pies do people
- 34:06make? Whatever, blah, blah, blah.
- 34:08You put it in the chat and I put it in my Maple bourbon pumpkin
- 34:12pie. And one of my Co workers was
- 34:15like, oh, you should send me the recipe.
- 34:17I'd love to make this for Thanksgiving.
- 34:18And I'm like, uh huh, sure, whatever.
- 34:20This is the dude that I can't stand by the way.
- 34:21I don't like him at all. How does?
- 34:24He stand. This I don't know.
- 34:26Every once in awhile he tries to move to a different department.
- 34:29But. They don't like him or he
- 34:31decides that it was much easier over with us.
- 34:34So he comes back. I'm like, why do you keep
- 34:36letting him back? But I was busy and I never had a
- 34:40chance to type out because the the fucking it's a long.
- 34:44It's like it's not a short, you know, throw some pumpkin in a
- 34:47pie thing like it's a, it's a process, right?
- 34:51So. Try to type like.
- 34:54Typing out the fucking recipe is not something that I can do in
- 34:58like 2 minutes. It's it's a process.
- 35:00So I never got around to it before Thanksgiving.
- 35:03And he was like, you never sent this to me.
- 35:04And I'm like, sorry, I was fucking busy.
- 35:05Fuck off. Like I don't know what to tell
- 35:07you. He's like, well maybe I can make
- 35:09it for Christmas. And I'm like, Oh my God.
- 35:11So the other day I finally had a a minute.
- 35:13So I decided to go ahead and just type out the fucking recipe
- 35:15and I sent. It to him.
- 35:17He in in because in in the DM, like right before I sent him the
- 35:23recipe, he replied to his earlier comment, well, maybe I
- 35:28can make this for Christmas. And he said and replied to it
- 35:31and it was like, well, maybe. And I was like, really
- 35:34motherfucker. And that was right as I was
- 35:36sending him the. Recipe and I.
- 35:41I should because motherfucker never even said thank you.
- 35:43Never nothing. And I was like, you know what?
- 35:45Fuck you. Never the fuck again.
- 35:48And if I ever do it like again and like somebody's like send me
- 35:51the recipe. I'm going to be like, no, you
- 35:53didn't thank me for the last one.
- 35:54I sent you so fuck you. You don't get my recipes.
- 35:59I hate this guy so much. I I like I'm like, no, you're a
- 36:02Jackass. I don't ever do.
- 36:03This go back to the slack message and delete it it.
- 36:06Should it's on teams? Oh, I'll.
- 36:10I know, stupid slack is annoying.
- 36:15Who is I? Don't like any of it, it's all
- 36:18annoying. But it means I don't have to
- 36:22actually. Like it means I don't have to
- 36:23interact with people so it works for me.
- 36:26Let's talk about less annoying things, OK?
- 36:44OK, so for my tip tonight I want to talk about like feeling hot
- 36:51with your clothes on. You know winter cold weather is
- 36:56all about layering, and depending on where you're at and
- 37:00how many layers you're wearing, sometimes you can feel more like
- 37:03an overstuffed pillow than. I'm sexy.
- 37:08You were gross and you like, you add on to that like the general
- 37:15sort of overeating that tends to happen around the holidays and
- 37:18sometimes your self esteem and body image can really take a
- 37:20beating. And of course then you throw on
- 37:24top of that body dysmorphia, dysphoria, and all the other
- 37:27things that can can contribute to not feeling awesome about
- 37:30yourself physically. Scrolling through Instagram.
- 37:37Like I know personally, especially lately, I definitely
- 37:42feel hotter with my clothes on these days than off for a
- 37:46variety of reasons. So I want to just talk about
- 37:49like what makes you feel hot with your clothes on?
- 37:55Like accessories or a certain like piece of clothing or type
- 38:02of clothing or even like sexy underwear, like our fun
- 38:08underwear or something that like you know, you're wearing this
- 38:13item of clothing and in this item of clothing you feel sexy.
- 38:21So like I actually think I look super cute dressed for colder
- 38:27weather. I love me a good like cowl neck
- 38:30sweater. So like the big.
- 38:32Oh. Like.
- 38:34OK, now see 'cause I read this earlier and then I was like what
- 38:38the hell is that? And a cowl neck is like.
- 38:40The yeah, the the you know the either the you know, it's a
- 38:44bigger necks on the on the sweater.
- 38:48I love a good cowl neck sweater and since my head now gets cold.
- 38:59Like driver's caps with like the flat caps.
- 39:03I like using those as accessories if I can match them
- 39:07like color coordinate with my outfit.
- 39:10And those are not the same as the people that ruined America.
- 39:17They're different, right? People that ruined America.
- 39:22Red hats. Oh, no, no, no, not a baseball
- 39:25cap. The Yeah.
- 39:28No, no, no, no. I mean, I will wear baseball
- 39:31caps, but no, these are, these are like the driver's caps or
- 39:34the flat caps. They're like it's into your
- 39:37head. They're they're, you know,
- 39:39Boston's galley company. Yeah.
- 39:42They're, that's why they're, they're called like driver's
- 39:43caps. And I also love a nice coat.
- 39:51I have a couple nice coats like a like a pea coat or like a
- 39:54longer coat double breasted. It's too warm here.
- 40:02I've never seen you wear. I know I never see me that
- 40:06layered up. Maybe a sweater, maybe if it
- 40:09gets really chilly or I'm out later and I'm not in drags.
- 40:14I don't want to get makeup all over my shit.
- 40:18Maybe. I am no Brandon McGill, but I do
- 40:22like to add a scarf if I'm somewhere to like.
- 40:24It was fun being in San Francisco last January because I
- 40:29got. To wear.
- 40:30I got to wear all my layers. I got to wear my coats and my
- 40:33sweaters and scarves and hats and gloves and all the things.
- 40:37And I had my beard still on purpose because I wanna make
- 40:41sure my face stayed warm. So like that, that for me is
- 40:48like I, like I said, I think I look cute dressed in for colder
- 40:51weather. Like it's fine and like shorts
- 40:55and T-shirts and things, but I, I always like the way I look and
- 41:01the way that I feel when I am dressed for colder weather.
- 41:07Like when I'm, when I'm more dressy as opposed to just like
- 41:13casual. Like I can like casual is like
- 41:16fine if I'm just wearing like a long sleeve T-shirt or whatever,
- 41:18but the more sort of dressy, little more stylish like I think
- 41:22I would. Like yes, so I described mine
- 41:29earlier. But you did, yes.
- 41:31But I've I've run kind of hot and I have the weirdest time
- 41:40being. Oh.
- 41:43Is it this? It's this.
- 41:47No, I'm not. Doing this for when we were
- 41:57talking about the lift. I think you were 'cause you have
- 42:00a tendency to do this anyway, I you, you, you gesture like this
- 42:03a lot. So I think that that is what.
- 42:07My fingers finally came apart. And you paused for just long
- 42:11enough for it to pick it up. And.
- 42:16This is even worse. I'm dressed as the Grinch.
- 42:18Hey you. Got balloons.
- 42:21It's been giving you thumbs up like you sit there like this and
- 42:25it sees your thumb and you're not even like necessarily out
- 42:28like this, but you've been sitting like you.
- 42:29You sit like this sometimes even if I'm just sort of and it'll
- 42:32see it just enough. It's been popping up thumbs up
- 42:35all night too. Random thumbs up, friend.
- 42:37Oh. My God.
- 42:43No, I am not on a Mac so it doesn't do that for me folks.
- 42:47That's why Felicia is the only one with the weird.
- 42:50AI is going to rule the world, they say.
- 42:52And. I'm like mine, mine doesn't do
- 42:56mine doesn't do that. So I don't, I don't have fun
- 43:00balloons and shit and. I I love that the.
- 43:08Person that pops up. Is like the, is like the the red
- 43:111 is like the like when the red one comes up first 'cause it's
- 43:14it's very Pennywise, it's very it.
- 43:22We're having a party over here, no one's invited.
- 43:27But when like I, I know a lot of people will like enjoy wearing
- 43:35like fun underwear, even lingerie underneath their
- 43:38layers, things that you know, which and not necessarily in
- 43:43sort of the kinky way because folks will do that as well.
- 43:47But more in the like, I feel good in, you know, this lingerie
- 43:54piece or I feel really good in these like fun little underwear
- 43:59or whatever. So they'll wear that like
- 44:02underneath all their stuff, 'cause they know that they may
- 44:05not and nobody else may know, but they know and it's enough to
- 44:08give them that self-confidence. What I was gonna say is socks.
- 44:14Socks. Socks.
- 44:15Socks. I don't.
- 44:17I don't own any socks. Shot.
- 44:21Oh yeah, it became a topic at the friends giving of how much
- 44:27socks and I was like, I don't hey, ease up.
- 44:29I have like 300 pairs of socks too.
- 44:32I don't. I don't own any socks and you
- 44:34know those of you. That if you're judging me, go
- 44:38ahead, buy me socks and send them to me.
- 44:40I don't like just any socks though.
- 44:44They have to be like funny, decorative.
- 44:51Don't. I don't want plain socks.
- 44:52Like my socks. I think somebody misunderstood
- 44:56me one time and gave me dress socks and I was like, why'd you
- 45:00give me dress? I will, you love.
- 45:02Socks. And I was like.
- 45:03And I love doing that where like if I have to wear something
- 45:06that's like business casual, I will wear business casual and
- 45:09then throw on a pair of my fun socks like my Mr. Potato Head or
- 45:12something just because like, why the fuck why?
- 45:16Not. And if you're looking at my
- 45:18socks. Whoa.
- 45:20I actually, I, I, I think it's hysterical when I'm, I am
- 45:24wearing fun socks and I'm in more like a, you know, like if
- 45:27I'm doing a conference or something or whatever and
- 45:29someone notices like if I'm sitting with my legs crossed or
- 45:32something up on a, up on a chair and that, you know, my sock is
- 45:35visible and they're like, Oh my God, you're wearing like Peter
- 45:38Pan socks. And I'm like, yes, I.
- 45:41Am you're right? Yes, I am.
- 45:43You're welcome. Get it?
- 45:45You're welcome. I also a couple years back
- 45:52discover like men's lingerie that is the ticket cause some of
- 46:00them can be warm. But what I was going to say
- 46:05before I was interrupted, it doesn't do it with this hand.
- 46:09Oh OK. Anyway, was that I have a
- 46:14problem with people running the heat and so like I easily get
- 46:20more and so like I'll find like the they have some sweaters, but
- 46:30it's usually like a a cotton knit that has, you know, just
- 46:34enough to be comfortable and then the sleeves are all like
- 46:38transparent or sheer. Those saved my life because like
- 46:46my husband runs the heat at like 80 in the car.
- 46:49Oh Jesus, no. No, no, no, no.
- 46:51Oh. My God, I know we missed
- 46:53something but. I like, I don't like being too
- 46:58warm either. Like in the car if I get in and
- 47:00it's like if it's chilly when I first get in, especially like at
- 47:04night, I will, I may put the heater on slightly and may put
- 47:10like what I'll do is I'll get myself warm.
- 47:11So I'll put like my, my 'cause my steering wheel heats up and
- 47:14my seat heats up. So I'll like turn the heater on
- 47:18and say maybe 5 minutes and then I'm like, OK, everything's off
- 47:22in our bedroom at night, gets a little bit chilly.
- 47:25So like while we're showering, we have a little space heater.
- 47:28So we'll turn the space heater on for just a few minutes to get
- 47:30it warm and then it goes off and then the fans go on because it's
- 47:36fucking hot. I can't do it.
- 47:38I can't do it. It gets, you know, Meanwhile,
- 47:40my, my partner though, has no problem.
- 47:42Like if she could sit in a heater 24/7, Oh my God, Her side
- 47:45of the car, because it can be independently controlled.
- 47:49Her side of the car is like cranked all the way up.
- 47:51And like the other night I had to switch places 'cause I was
- 47:54trying to do something and she was driving home and I sat and
- 47:57I'm like, yeah, like it is hot over here.
- 48:01This is gross. We have independent but it still
- 48:07gets. I don't know how to describe it.
- 48:09I can still feel the warmth from.
- 48:11No, I get it. If it's if it's too warm, it's
- 48:13like so about like men's lingerie.
- 48:19It's the only time and it's not necessarily for me, it's not
- 48:23necessarily dysphoria. It's an aesthetic thing, but
- 48:28it's the only time that I don't like not having a penis because
- 48:38men's, most men's underwear and men's lingerie and stuff like
- 48:42that, they're designed with like a pouch and I don't like not
- 48:49being able to fill out the pouch unless I'm packing and I don't
- 48:55pack all the time. They don't want to pack.
- 48:57But that's the only thing that bugs me is that I is and it's
- 49:02purely for aesthetics because when it's if you're wearing
- 49:07depending on the pouch, a lot of times you're wearing men's
- 49:09underwear and you don't fill out that pouch.
- 49:11It just looks. I wonder if brands like Tomboy
- 49:17or what's the other one? There's a few different brands
- 49:23out there, but they don't really have like.
- 49:25They don't have something that's kind of like meet you in the
- 49:29middle. I mean they.
- 49:30Literally and figuratively. Kind of, but nothing that like
- 49:34I'm like, oh, those are really cute.
- 49:36They're just like, it's not like like it nothing has like you
- 49:41know how like like Andrew Christian has like super fun
- 49:43like prints and and things. A lot of other places have like
- 49:46super fun prints. They almost all have some sort
- 49:49of pouch and the other like for some reason the companies that
- 49:58like are designed for, you know, trans folks or gender non
- 50:03conforming or whatever. Like they'll have like gender
- 50:05neutral undies, but nothing that's like super, super cute or
- 50:10like, you know what I mean? So it's just like.
- 50:12Oh. Yeah, nothing that I would be
- 50:14like, oh, I'm gonna feel, you know, I'm gonna feel cute in
- 50:17these. It's like they're, they're more
- 50:19functional than cute. You know what I mean to.
- 50:22Design your own underwear. I could, but then I would have
- 50:25to either find somebody to make them or something that's a pain
- 50:29in my ass. It's a lot of effort.
- 50:37I hear what you're saying, 'cause I have a sewing machine
- 50:40in here. Do I use it?
- 50:43No. I need one of the kids.
- 50:47I I need the kids to move out of the house because we.
- 50:50We are you gonna make one of them in into a crafter?
- 50:55Yes, this will be like this will be almost exclusively like drag
- 50:59and like the costumes and then being able to work on crafts
- 51:02will be in that room. But I need if the I think the
- 51:07boys are the closest, if I can get the oldest to just admit
- 51:11that he is living with his girlfriend and then his brother
- 51:14will be moving out and living on campus.
- 51:17He breaks up with. Not my problem, he's a big boy.
- 51:23And then the the his brother will be moving out and living on
- 51:26campus next year. So if I can get that to happen,
- 51:31less than that, less than that. I like 6 months.
- 51:37Six months, if that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 51:38So I need that to happen. And then we can repurpose that
- 51:41room into like a craft room. Like we can move like the
- 51:46cricket and stuff in there. So it's easier to deal with.
- 51:51You know, all of that stuff can be in here.
- 51:52And then we can just use this space for like, the actual
- 51:55costumes and props and stuff and not have to worry about trying
- 51:58to organize so that we can use stuff.
- 52:00Well, not not lately, but yeah, so that's, that's I just need
- 52:07the kids to move out so I can do that.
- 52:08And then maybe I can learn how to make my own underwear.
- 52:12So you have 6 months. Six months, hopefully, anyway.
- 52:19What's happening in the world of news?
- 52:40In the world of news, we have a lot of what the fuck going on.
- 52:49I feel like sometimes I'm not sure what the actual fuck.
- 52:57And I still have notes still saved on my phone, so bear with
- 53:02me. So I actually want to say to
- 53:08AT&T, what the fuck? Because AT&T says it will end
- 53:15its DEI programs in a bid to please the FCC and the dump
- 53:21truck administration. And so if if everybody's got
- 53:25AT&T, time to jump ship, Although I don't know at at this
- 53:31point, it's all just shit. Like there's no.
- 53:35Like everybody, like I'll say I'm doing something and somebody
- 53:40was like, well, you need to boycott that.
- 53:42And I'm like, you know what? I think that no matter where I
- 53:47go, I'm going to run into something I'm going to run into.
- 53:51It's like. It's, it's the whole, there's no
- 53:53like ethics in, there's no consumerism because it's like
- 53:58everything is shit. So it's like, yes, I mean, and
- 54:04some things are easier to boycott than others.
- 54:05Some things are easier to, you know what I mean?
- 54:07It's like, and sometimes it's like, if this thing over here,
- 54:14like, I don't know, it's, it's there's, it's tricky because you
- 54:18can't, you literally, otherwise we're literally just gonna end
- 54:20up boycotting everything and you literally cannot boycott
- 54:23everything. Yeah, and I'm like, don't go to
- 54:26the store. And how do I get things shipped
- 54:30to my house? Right.
- 54:32Like it's literally not, damn it.
- 54:34It's literally not feasible, you know?
- 54:37So it's like do what you can avoid, you know, the, the big
- 54:43issues like the big companies that are problematic as much as
- 54:46you can, you know, and. I'm like, Oh my gosh, they are
- 54:51at it again. Still no response to Costco, by
- 54:56the way. But you know that will never
- 55:02ever happen on time because who the fuck cares?
- 55:12What else did I see? So in politics, is this the same
- 55:28the Democrats are moving to? I think are they?
- 55:33Have they officially done it or are they still talking about it?
- 55:37No, they formally filed. I was sorry I was waiting for
- 55:40the Internet to load. House Democrats formally have
- 55:49filed articles of impeachment against RFK Junior and the guy
- 55:57that keeps sending signal messages about her defense.
- 56:06So. Think about that.
- 56:12I mean, fine, great, whatever. But the the problem with
- 56:15impeachment is it doesn't do anything.
- 56:18It doesn't remove them right? No, it doesn't do shit.
- 56:21Trump was impeached. Clinton was.
- 56:25Impeached. They have to be removed, but it
- 56:29just means that it's like a, it's like a oh, you have a
- 56:31strike against your name, but it doesn't do anything.
- 56:33It doesn't. It doesn't preclude you from
- 56:36from holding office, obviously. Yeah, you could be if that were
- 56:41the case. Clinton would have been.
- 56:43Like Clinton would have been ousted, you know, Trump never
- 56:47would have been allowed to to run again like there like it
- 56:50wouldn't. So impeachment, I'm like of.
- 56:54Cancel culture. This is the weirdest.
- 56:57And impeachment is the dumbest shit.
- 57:01Like I, I, I don't know what, honestly, I honestly do not know
- 57:06what purpose it serves because it doesn't do anything.
- 57:09It does nothing. It doesn't stop you from holding
- 57:11office. It doesn't remove you from your
- 57:13position. All it does is go, oh, you were
- 57:16impeached, Niner, niner niner. It's like, OK, but who the fuck
- 57:19cares? It does nothing.
- 57:22It does nothing. Like if, if being impeached
- 57:26meant that you were removed from office and you're not allowed to
- 57:30hold office again, then I'd be all for it.
- 57:32But it doesn't do that. It doesn't do Jack shit,
- 57:36honestly. So when people are like, oh,
- 57:38they're going to impeach Trump, I'm like, who the fuck cares?
- 57:39He's already been impeached. Nick, go ahead and try to file.
- 57:46Impeach. What did they do to Nixon?
- 57:50Nixon. He was impeached, Yeah, but he
- 57:55wasn't out then, no. He, Nixon, ended up removing
- 58:02himself because of all the shit that was going to come out.
- 58:04So he was like, Nope, I'm out. Oh, so he had to remove himself?
- 58:10Well, he didn't necessarily have to, I don't think, but he.
- 58:13Took it upon himself not to be an ounce and make us suffer
- 58:17through all of it, or suffer it through all of it himself.
- 58:22So the impeachment process against Richard Nixon was
- 58:27initiated by the United States House of Representatives on
- 58:30October 30th, 1973 during the course of the Watergate scandal.
- 58:38It was they were introduced immediately following the series
- 58:41of high level resignations. And it was like as soon as they
- 58:46began like an official investigation of the president's
- 58:49role in Watergate. That was basically when he was
- 58:54like, let me go ahead and. Let me go ahead and exit out
- 58:59right here real quick. You don't need to say all that
- 59:01stuff out loud. Let me just like.
- 59:04He refused to comply with a subpoena from the prosecutor.
- 59:08Like there were a lot of shit like.
- 59:10That sounds familiar. Yeah.
- 59:17So we would have to find something very, very, very
- 59:20dirty, like the obscene files. But even then the impeachment it
- 59:24like even if it won't do anything, he would have to be
- 59:28removed but. So there's nothing that there's
- 59:33not that I'm speaking anarchy, but there's nothing that removes
- 59:39the president when the president has done wrong.
- 59:42Let. Me.
- 59:44See you go on. I'm going to.
- 59:46Google real quick. That is the weird.
- 59:49OK, whoa, gross. So if he just did whatever he
- 59:57wanted, who cares, right? Anyway, some shining star
- 1:00:04moments. There was a whole bunch of
- 1:00:11things that were nominated for Golden Globes.
- 1:00:17Oh, here we go. First time actors like Michael B
- 1:00:22Jordan and there was another name but I didn't type it in
- 1:00:29here. But also the movie Sinners and
- 1:00:32some nominees for Wicked including Cynthia Erivo who has
- 1:00:43been nominated. This will be her second time I
- 1:00:45think. I think so.
- 1:00:50Give her the award. Just stop nominating great
- 1:00:57actresses and actors and then not giving them awards for like
- 1:01:0340 years. What does it say?
- 1:01:08So in the Constitution, Article 2, Section 4, the President,
- 1:01:17Vice President and all civil officers of the United States
- 1:01:19shall be removed from Office on Impeachment 4 and Conviction of
- 1:01:24treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
- 1:01:29The Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach and
- 1:01:31remove the President, Vice President, all federal civil
- 1:01:33officers for treason, bribery for other high crimes and
- 1:01:36misdemeanors as tools inherited from English practice in which
- 1:01:39Parliament impeached and convicted ministers and
- 1:01:41favourites of the Crown in a struggle to rein in the Crown's
- 1:01:43power so. So he could be impeached for the
- 1:01:47crimes he's already committed. I don't think so.
- 1:01:50I think it has to be crimes committed while in office.
- 1:01:57But that's why like, like you like like Clinton was impeached
- 1:02:05but didn't really. Wasn't found guilt.
- 1:02:10He wasn't found, He wasn't convicted of treason, bribery or
- 1:02:13other high crimes and misdemeanors.
- 1:02:15So he wasn't removed. So you have to.
- 1:02:19He was. Just being.
- 1:02:21I don't know. I mean, the January 6th thing
- 1:02:26you'd think would be enough to be able to get him the fuck out,
- 1:02:29yeah. Whatever happened to that?
- 1:02:30Why did that fade into the darkness?
- 1:02:34Look who's in power. All those people that they said
- 1:02:38they were going to put in jail or some.
- 1:02:42Yeah, well, they did put in jail and that they, they, they were
- 1:02:44in jail. They've all been pardoned and a
- 1:02:46lot of them subsequently rearrested for other various
- 1:02:49crimes. Isn't that funny?
- 1:02:56Wow. OK, fuck, fuck, fuck.
- 1:03:01Including the great fuck the fuck, fuck, fuck that's
- 1:03:04happening here. Let's see.
- 1:03:09Illinois Governor Pritzker. Pritzker has signed a law
- 1:03:15prohibiting ICE from kidnapping people near courthouses, in
- 1:03:20hospitals or on college campuses or in daycare facilities.
- 1:03:24Which they were going after heavy.
- 1:03:26Yep. They were literally just waiting
- 1:03:29outside places. They're just waiting outside
- 1:03:32places. I saw a video on social media
- 1:03:35that I was like, what? The actual no.
- 1:03:39The law goes into effect immediately and provides legal
- 1:03:43steps for people whose constitutional rights have
- 1:03:46already been violated, including the people that were snatched
- 1:03:54off the streets in Chicago that were black people.
- 1:04:03Just saying. Dropping your kid off at
- 1:04:05daycare, going to the doctor or attending your classes should
- 1:04:09not feel life altering or should not be a life altering risk.
- 1:04:14Illinois is Illinois, in the face of cruelty and
- 1:04:20intimidation, has chosen solidarity and support.
- 1:04:26Yeah, 'cause this president. I wish more governors would put
- 1:04:34that should be like, no, you can't just hover outside of
- 1:04:37places that people have to go to be able to like, like kidnap
- 1:04:41them. You can't.
- 1:04:42It's bullshit. Jasmine Crockett, Is that her
- 1:04:45name? It is.
- 1:04:52I know a lot of people were not excited, excited, not excited
- 1:04:56excited, but basically she had the heart.
- 1:05:05So Jasmine Crockett is the one that basically told the green
- 1:05:12lady, not me, the green lady, not to assault her and basically
- 1:05:19started a pop culture moment with Butch.
- 1:05:22What was it? Butch Beach, Butch Body or
- 1:05:27something? Anyhow, she's running for Senate
- 1:05:34because she's a state representative at the moment.
- 1:05:38And so that would be spicy. That would be.
- 1:05:44I'd be here for it. On top of I read earlier that
- 1:05:49somebody got elected and knocked out one of the candidates.
- 1:05:59I know that Miami has a Democratic mayor for the first
- 1:06:02time in 30 years. Female too, right?
- 1:06:07I believe so like. Look at be the change you want
- 1:06:17to see, folks anyway. So good, so good.
- 1:06:26So just when you don't think that you can make a difference,
- 1:06:30there's out people get mad. That's how I know that change is
- 1:06:35coming when people get mad, right?
- 1:06:40Kiss of the Spider Woman is getting a movie makeover.
- 1:06:44When does that come out? Did it come out already?
- 1:06:46I saw. I don't think so.
- 1:06:48I think it's next year. Oh, she's already showing off
- 1:06:52about it, I thought. I'm doing premieres and things
- 1:06:57with Jennifer Lopez, Diego Luna and breakout star Police I
- 1:07:04think. It's Tanatia.
- 1:07:08OK, bringing the Broadway musical to the big screen.
- 1:07:14So fun fact, I'm I'm mildly excited about this.
- 1:07:20We'll see. The 1976 book by Manuel Puig is
- 1:07:25actually one of my favorite books ever.
- 1:07:28Ever. The 1983 film adaptation of the
- 1:07:33book had Raul Julia in it and it was so good, so good.
- 1:07:39My thing is I I'm not, I'm excited, but I am very sketchy
- 1:07:50about Jennifer Lopez sometimes 'cause sometimes she does good
- 1:07:54and then sometimes. I know I'm hoping so.
- 1:08:00And it has nothing to do with her singing word.
- 1:08:04I don't know. I haven't seen, oh, I haven't
- 1:08:07seen the stage musical, but. I already compare it to.
- 1:08:13I I don't, but I already know that a lot of the book gets
- 1:08:17removed because they focus on one.
- 1:08:21There's so many things that you can't.
- 1:08:24I mean, they actually know there's a lot of things that
- 1:08:26they could do, but they just chose not to and they chose to
- 1:08:28focus with one thing on one thing, one part of the book.
- 1:08:32So if you're if you're not familiar with with with the
- 1:08:35book, it takes place during it. It's in Argentina and it's two
- 1:08:42men in prison. One of them has been arrested
- 1:08:47for like basically being a terrorist and the other one has
- 1:08:53been arrested for basically being gay.
- 1:08:58And they end up in a cell together and the, the prison is
- 1:09:07trying to use the gay guy to basically get information from
- 1:09:14his cellmate regarding, you know, when are they like, right.
- 1:09:20So they're gonna try and, and use them to, to get information
- 1:09:23on like the terrorist cell, whatever, blah, blah, blah,
- 1:09:25people that are involved, yada, yada.
- 1:09:30And it's, it's actually, it's actually a, a kind of a
- 1:09:34beautiful love story because they end up, they end up falling
- 1:09:41in love, even though the, the, the he's not, I wouldn't, he's
- 1:09:46not actually a terrorist. They've labeled him a terrorist.
- 1:09:48Valentin he, he's straight, but he becomes attached to Molina
- 1:09:55basically. But the way that they pass the
- 1:09:59time is Molina recounts different movies, 'cause he
- 1:10:06loves going to the movies. That's, that was his things.
- 1:10:08He loved going to the movies. And he would basically retell
- 1:10:13these movies in great detail to be able to sort of pass the time
- 1:10:20and, you know, distract them from all the bullshit and the,
- 1:10:23you know, the place that, you know, they're at this
- 1:10:24Argentinian prison. And he goes through several
- 1:10:29different movies. Like one of them is cat people,
- 1:10:34which is it's an old film, it's a black and white film, but
- 1:10:36it's, it's a woman that can turn into a cat.
- 1:10:38And it's got a long history. Like it's a, it's a good film,
- 1:10:40but there's that one, there's a couple other films I'm trying to
- 1:10:45remember now. And then there's one in
- 1:10:47particular that is like a, a woman who acts like a spy for
- 1:10:51the Nazis or against the Nazis or something.
- 1:10:54And I think that is the one that they end up focusing on in the
- 1:10:57musical because she, like, she works in, she's like a singer in
- 1:11:02like a, a, like a, a bar kind of thing where she kind of reels in
- 1:11:07like the Nazi officer and, and, you know, is able to get
- 1:11:10information that way. And I think that that is the,
- 1:11:16that is what they focus on. So I don't know if how they're
- 1:11:23like, 'cause it's not a main character.
- 1:11:25It's not really a, it's not even a main plot line.
- 1:11:28It's a subplot. So if they do it right, Jennifer
- 1:11:31Lopez shouldn't even be necessarily a main character.
- 1:11:35She's just sort of a subplot, that of a story that gets told
- 1:11:38while they're in prison, you know what I mean?
- 1:11:39While the. Other No, you watch the I don't
- 1:11:41know, you watch the trailer, right?
- 1:11:44I haven't. No, I haven't.
- 1:11:45No, not. Yet watch the trailer and tell
- 1:11:48me if they make it seem like she is the main character.
- 1:11:52I hate that. God, I wish they wouldn't do
- 1:11:54that. But you know why they do that?
- 1:11:57They do it. I know why they do that.
- 1:11:59I know I just it it if they do that, if that's what they've
- 1:12:03done with the musical, like if that's what they've done for the
- 1:12:05with the with the stage play, I would be so mad because that's
- 1:12:08not. As a toured we should go see it.
- 1:12:14Because that's not what the The thing is about.
- 1:12:17Like, it's literally these. It's it's.
- 1:12:19So the play would just totally turn this if this is not right.
- 1:12:25Yeah, 'cause it's not supposed to be about the woman.
- 1:12:29It is about. These two men and their
- 1:12:31relationship in prison. The book is written in a very
- 1:12:37interesting way I do not get. From.
- 1:12:41The the book is so good, The book is so good.
- 1:12:44There's no real, like, prose. You know, how a book is written
- 1:12:48where it's like, and in the cell, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 1:12:51blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, said this
- 1:12:53person. Well, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 1:12:54said this person, blah, blah. You know what I mean?
- 1:12:57The book is written. It's purely dialogue.
- 1:12:59There's not even any, like, this person says this, this person
- 1:13:04says this. So it's literally this, this,
- 1:13:08this, this, this all the way down.
- 1:13:10But there's no prose to go along with it.
- 1:13:12Kind of, yeah. Yeah, but there's who said what.
- 1:13:17You don't. You don't have to you you can
- 1:13:19tell who says what based on the what's being said.
- 1:13:25Oh. The only prose is when Molina
- 1:13:29goes to talk to the warden, because he's basically he's
- 1:13:34manipulated. The warden's trying to get
- 1:13:36information. Molina is manipulating the
- 1:13:39warden to get things that he wants to bribe Valentin so that
- 1:13:43he'll loosen up and talk to him about stuff.
- 1:13:47So there's. This way though.
- 1:13:49It's this whole thing. It's really good.
- 1:13:51The book is really good. I don't know.
- 1:13:53The movie is really good. Yep.
- 1:13:55Kiss the Spider Woman. I I don't.
- 1:14:00Is this not audiobook? It might be, but if you can find
- 1:14:06the original movie anywhere, go watch it because Raul Julia is
- 1:14:10just amazing anyway. But it's so good.
- 1:14:14So go find that if you're able to.
- 1:14:16And again, I don't know about the stage musical.
- 1:14:20I'm I'm glad that they're using Latino actors.
- 1:14:26Yes. I think that that is important.
- 1:14:32'Cause we have not done that before, like people playing
- 1:14:35Cleopatra. So I mean, there's that.
- 1:14:39That is a good thing. I like that they're doing that.
- 1:14:41But again, I not having seen the stage play, I am, I don't know.
- 1:14:47I don't know. And the I'm gonna type in tour.
- 1:14:53OK, in the. UK, it's going on tour, it says.
- 1:15:01It does not say U.S. states. Probably not, Probably too high
- 1:15:05brow for people. How come we never get the good
- 1:15:10stuff? It'll come here eventually, I'm
- 1:15:12sure That'll start touring. Is it even on Broadway?
- 1:15:16It must be me. Spider Woman.
- 1:15:22I didn't look to see if it was on Broadway, I looked to see if
- 1:15:25it was touring, 'cause sometimes musicals with not a lot of play
- 1:15:34come here, but they're not announced.
- 1:15:37And so like, sometimes I'll look up stuff and I'll be like, oh, I
- 1:15:40didn't know they were coming, you know, I don't know.
- 1:15:49Anyhow, while you look that up, I'm gonna look up later if it's
- 1:15:58an audio audio book. Wow, my brain was like audio
- 1:16:06there as well. Oh.
- 1:16:06I guess it was released here already, but I never saw
- 1:16:10anything about it anywhere. Whoopi.
- 1:16:16Never saw anything of it anywhere.
- 1:16:18I wonder if it's streaming. Like literally I it popped up on
- 1:16:21my thing I'm like oh I figured this was new.
- 1:16:23Nope, apparently not. It didn't go straight to DVD,
- 1:16:26did it? For folks that are young,
- 1:16:30straight to DVD means straight to streaming now.
- 1:16:37I had no idea. Well shit, let me see if it's
- 1:16:40streaming anywhere. Anyway, carry on.
- 1:16:43Anyway, in health news, more than 20 hospitals and health
- 1:16:48systems have temporarily or indefinitely rolled back
- 1:16:52transgender care for youth and some young adults due to threats
- 1:16:56of lost funding from the dump truck administration.
- 1:17:04I don't know what trans people did to the dump truck, but he is
- 1:17:09not letting it go. He is not letting it go. 12 have
- 1:17:17announced that that they have discontinued puberty blockers
- 1:17:20and hormone therapy for trans patients younger than 19.
- 1:17:24Keep in mind, you're legally an adult at 18. 4 announced they
- 1:17:32are no longer providing transition related surgeries to
- 1:17:35those patients. Like even the people that have
- 1:17:42already signed up for them. Wow.
- 1:17:49One said it discontinued gender affirming care for teens.
- 1:17:53Is that for all teens? Yes.
- 1:18:00I have questions. Four said they temporarily
- 1:18:07stopped trans care for those under 19 after an Ed came out.
- 1:18:13What is the Ed? Oh executive direct whatever
- 1:18:19came down from dump truck but resumed after a judge blocked
- 1:18:25part of the order in March. Though a lot of those back and
- 1:18:30forth between blocking orders. I'm not going to listen to you.
- 1:18:34Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. 5 removed web pages
- 1:18:39dedicated to Transcare for minors from their websites and
- 1:18:44that goes along the code of the White House.
- 1:18:48Removed a lot of things that was LGBTQ plus and some stuff is
- 1:18:55still starting to go missing on the CDC website.
- 1:19:00A Health Center in Iowa stopped providing Hormone therapy to
- 1:19:05trans adults due to dump trucks. Order that prohibits federal
- 1:19:10funds from being used to promote gender ideology. the VA has
- 1:19:18limited all trans care coverage for trans veterans.
- 1:19:26So these are people that served our country.
- 1:19:29Yep. Again with the bullshit.
- 1:19:39You're sure there's nothing we could do about this?
- 1:19:41This is weird. So get to your midterms, get to
- 1:19:47your special elections if. I mean, look, things can things
- 1:19:52can flip, things can flip. So look at the mayors start at
- 1:19:57your city level. Mayors, governors, other seats
- 1:20:01like things can totally flip. Awesome.
- 1:20:07But we do have some good news. I'll say it after this.
- 1:20:15Is that Quinlan? Quinlan.
- 1:20:18Quinlan I. Think Blackwell was named CN NS
- 1:20:22Hero of the Year. The founder of Chicago's
- 1:20:25Southside Blooms was recognized for transforming vacant lots
- 1:20:29into flower farms that employed and trained at this youth in his
- 1:20:34community known. His nonprofit provides skills in
- 1:20:41growing, arranging and selling flowers and has received
- 1:20:45$100,000 to help expand. Oh, just when you think that
- 1:20:55there's bad news, it's there's some good news out there.
- 1:20:59He, you know he. He like, he trains like the at
- 1:21:02risk youth to like, and I mean, it puts them in, you know, they
- 1:21:05can go work in other retail stores.
- 1:21:09There's it's skills that are, you know, usable.
- 1:21:12So that's like, you know, and they could go work pretty much
- 1:21:16anywhere with the skill set that he's, you know, they're teaching
- 1:21:19them, which is awesome. There was somebody that just
- 1:21:28signed the Crown Act into, but it looks to me that this is not
- 1:21:36big news, but I thought I saw a news article that said that.
- 1:21:46I think it was Illinois that did the Crown Act, or was it
- 1:21:50Pennsylvania? No idea.
- 1:21:54The Crown Act has been signed by 25 states.
- 1:21:57Cause I've been now corrected by the machine, which is the act of
- 1:22:07if we have not if if you don't remember us talking about it is
- 1:22:11that there were people that were literally like newscasters
- 1:22:15getting pulled off the air because their hair.
- 1:22:17They were told their hair was not professional.
- 1:22:21They were getting kicked out of school because they were told
- 1:22:24that their hair is not professional or kept clean.
- 1:22:28Not my words others. And and these were like
- 1:22:34hairstyles that have been around since I know I was a kid.
- 1:22:39And so and other forms of microaggressions and
- 1:22:47discrimination that people will say like, you can't have box
- 1:22:50braids. Those are so unprofessional,
- 1:22:52right? What?
- 1:22:55Like unprofessional for whom? But you can wear extensions
- 1:22:59until they fall out, and that's professional.
- 1:23:02OK, Excuse me. So there's 25 states that now
- 1:23:08have signed the CROWN Act. I don't think that Arizona is
- 1:23:12one of them. I probably not.
- 1:23:14Should probably look but I don't think so and California was the
- 1:23:19first one to sign it if anybody cares.
- 1:23:23What have we got coming up? Oh, tomorrow we have.
- 1:23:28Sex trivia. Sex trivia is coming up tomorrow
- 1:23:31at Gracie's. We're gonna start at 8:00 PM.
- 1:23:36Get there early though 'cause we fill up it gets busy, but come
- 1:23:40and grab some. Like grab some food, grab some
- 1:23:42cheese curds or chopped cheese sandwich or something along
- 1:23:45those lines. Grab a good seat, have some sex
- 1:23:49on the beach. Have sex on the beach.
- 1:23:53No, don't, don't have sex on the beach.
- 1:23:54I do not recommend that. I don't recommend that.
- 1:23:57That is not comfortable. You will get sand in places that
- 1:24:00shouldn't, but it's free to play.
- 1:24:04We do a few rounds. That was a good time.
- 1:24:06We got some good prizes, all sorts of fun stuff.
- 1:24:10OK, so the Crown Act is not statewide.
- 1:24:14It doesn't look like I have to do further research, but.
- 1:24:20Where did my background go? The what?
- 1:24:24Or background. It's still there for me.
- 1:24:27I. Don't see it on mine.
- 1:24:28That's weird. Interesting.
- 1:24:31Never mind. Tempe is listed on the Crown Act
- 1:24:36website. So it's certain cities that.
- 1:24:40It's. Weird.
- 1:24:42And also on Sunday I will be at Brick Road Coffee doing Drug
- 1:24:47story hour, a holiday version. So come do.
- 1:24:50That what time? 10:30 in the morning, yeah.
- 1:24:59OK OK I'll wrap myself up for that.
- 1:25:06And it's good enough time cause the kids get up at like 5 or 6
- 1:25:10on the weekends. Get them home in time for a nap.
- 1:25:14Me too, but get there for that. We're gonna do holiday stories.
- 1:25:21You guys get coffee and pastries stuff?
- 1:25:26And since they have now posted it, January 9th is the first
- 1:25:34Drag Bingo of the season of 2026.
- 1:25:42Drag Bingo and Cats tickets are available.
- 1:25:48And what do we always say? The tickets will go fast.
- 1:25:52So get the tickets now. Yep, before you spend all your
- 1:25:57holiday money. Yep, And then you don't have to
- 1:26:01worry if you bought them or not, or buy them as a gift.
- 1:26:06We sell out. We sell out every fucking time.
- 1:26:10And then we always get messages or comments that say save me a
- 1:26:14seat, no. No, that's not how that works,
- 1:26:17but thank you. No.
- 1:26:21And there's still time if you have like office parties or
- 1:26:24anything going on and you want like entertainment or hosts or
- 1:26:28MCS or whatever, we are available.
- 1:26:31I don't know about entertainment, but I could at
- 1:26:32least host. I mean, there's that we can, we
- 1:26:36can do all manner. Things I attempt to be
- 1:26:39entertaining, but that's about the level I can give you.
- 1:26:48I'm not high energy at all. No, that's.
- 1:26:57Fine. I did not do any closing words
- 1:26:59because I felt like I will say a number of folks are
- 1:27:12experiencing. This is why I think I said it
- 1:27:16feels weird because like there was somebody that like got in a
- 1:27:21car accident. Luckily they're still alive and
- 1:27:25survived. Sounds like it's gonna work out
- 1:27:28in their favor anyway 'cause they wanted a new car.
- 1:27:30But yeah, I mean, you know they're making light of it,
- 1:27:34right? Somebody lost a friend.
- 1:27:40I see that like people are losing relatives or close
- 1:27:46friends. This is like a weird time of
- 1:27:51year. Like you're supposed to be jolly
- 1:27:54and happy and then some bad things happen and you know,
- 1:27:57like, that's what I mean. Like it's just so much going on.
- 1:28:01You got work going on and everybody's trying to close up
- 1:28:03before the holidays or you work retail and people are not as
- 1:28:07kind as they they could be. Just remember somewhere in
- 1:28:15there, take care of yourself and it's it's not always going to be
- 1:28:19a bubble bath. It's not always going to be a
- 1:28:22facial. It's not always going to be, you
- 1:28:24know, getting your hair done or whatever that may be.
- 1:28:27But excuse me, I think it's important to like look in on
- 1:28:36yourself, especially when there's a lot of outside
- 1:28:41validations not going to come from here.
- 1:28:43It needs to come from in here and so many things that I read
- 1:28:49today that people are are feeling it.
- 1:28:53It's not just me I'm feeling it. I know Freddie's feeling it.
- 1:28:58It just know that you're not alone.
- 1:29:01If you need to talk to us. I have had people come in my
- 1:29:05inbox before. As long as you're respectful,
- 1:29:09'cause I can't help you unless you're respectful.
- 1:29:14Keep that in mind. Also I'm not a therapist but my
- 1:29:19Lyft driver thinks I am so just be easy with yourself.
- 1:29:26That is my my closing for the week.
- 1:29:29Just don't. Trauma dump on strangers.
- 1:29:32Yeah, yeah, that took me a couple of days to.
- 1:29:35Go. I am definitely empathic.
- 1:29:40I was like why Y universe? But anyhow, with that being
- 1:29:45said, take care of yourselves and we'll see you next week for
- 1:29:48your Wednesday night conversation.
- 1:29:50Good night.
