Transcript
- 0:50Hello, hello, hello. No, no intro video.
- 0:56That was your intro because I tested the the video intro last
- 1:02night and it didn't work like it was supposed to so that I'm not
- 1:06redoing a whole video. So sorry I love you all, but I'm
- 1:14not I'm not redoing the whole video to see why it doesn't work
- 1:19on here. That's it.
- 1:20Plays just fine on my computer. That's so bizarre.
- 1:24I don't. Know and it was playing fine
- 1:25early in the season so and we had kind of the same video the
- 1:30season 4. Right.
- 1:32So I I. Don't.
- 1:34So I was right then it there was having issues like I thought it
- 1:37might have been just me. OK, so it was it was having
- 1:40issues. It might have been just you at
- 1:41first, but it's fine. Great.
- 1:43That's great. Welcome back.
- 1:46Welcome back. Welcome back to your Wednesday
- 1:50night conversation. I was I this is live with Fifi
- 1:57and Freddie. I had a thought because.
- 2:00Also, we're both in green. You understand this right?
- 2:02Yes, I thought you were muted but I said God damn it.
- 2:11I don't understand people how this works and if you try to
- 2:16explain it to me I probably wouldn't listen, but this
- 2:20happens quite often. Yeah, it happened with something
- 2:24else too. That wasn't makeup.
- 2:25It happened with like a graphic that I was like, here, let me
- 2:28just throw this together. And he's like, no, I have one
- 2:31already. And I was like, Oh my God, this
- 2:32is literally the same shit. What?
- 2:36And the same. Oh no.
- 2:38And. Same color scheme, same all the
- 2:42things. I was like, OK, that's.
- 2:44So yeah, just need to get this together.
- 2:46Anyway, I just want to remind everyone that trans women are
- 2:50women, and we're closing out Women's History Month.
- 2:53So in that history, I just want to include that trans women are
- 2:58women and they're dying every day because our government
- 3:02thinks that they're less than and that's not OK.
- 3:10So if you hear your representatives talking about
- 3:12like trans women are, or do you hear people in our community
- 3:18talking about how trans women are not women and try to be a
- 3:27part? Of men as well, though less so
- 3:29these days because everybody always forgets that we exist.
- 3:32Because massage. Don't forget transmit exists.
- 3:36We did not every every it's always what we don't want, you
- 3:38know, men in dresses and restrooms and it's like, OK, but
- 3:41you're OK with you. You you tell them that I want to
- 3:45go into the women's restroom and they're like, but, but and they,
- 3:51they don't they there there's a. Disconnect the drag that goes
- 3:57both both ways. Both ways, Yeah, Sorry, Yeah.
- 4:02That's fine. We're here though.
- 4:03We're here and we're, we're queer as fuck.
- 4:08I'm Felicia Fifi minor, and the thought that I had was that so
- 4:12many people have been running their mouths lately that I got a
- 4:15little bit of a sassy attack when I was posting this morning
- 4:20'cause I was like, I have seen so many posts in the last two
- 4:25weeks that my Wednesday nights became scroll abouts where I was
- 4:30like somebody said what said what?
- 4:34Also, films are also drag Queens too.
- 4:39A fast cisgender women are also. In fact, they probably have more
- 4:46permission than anybody. Right.
- 4:49You're going to tell somebody trying to poke fun at their own
- 4:51gender like that they can't do no what?
- 4:55No, no. Can we not?
- 4:58I'm just starting off strong y'all so.
- 5:00Honestly, it's, it's, it goes back to like the misogyny
- 5:03because people, you know, these, all these AMAB individuals are
- 5:07like, what this like girl beat me.
- 5:10It's like. Well, as the AMAB individual,
- 5:14I'm glad that that a fab have have beat them and if they had a
- 5:20problem somebody. Was better than you like.
- 5:22That wasn't it. Two people that had a problem,
- 5:25Two people won and a lot of people had a problem.
- 5:29I think so. I think so.
- 5:30In the last two weeks, Fems, yeah, do Fems can win.
- 5:35Yep, Yep, cisgender women are allowed to win drag pageants.
- 5:39Don't be mad 'cause they're better than you 'cause that's
- 5:41what it is. They're better than you.
- 5:42That's what I got it. If they had a problem, they
- 5:47should have said something at registration.
- 5:49Or before or you know what I mean like and why would you have
- 5:53a problem? They won the prelim.
- 5:56What's the? Problem.
- 5:57The prelim. Just say it like what's the
- 5:59problem? Like it I don't like, just
- 6:01fucking say it if you're going to say it just.
- 6:03Can't believe she beat me. Oh.
- 6:05Right. I can't believe I got beat by a
- 6:08girl. Like just say it, Just say it.
- 6:13Like stop trying to hide behind, like, you know, it's not drag or
- 6:16whatever. Just just fucking say it.
- 6:18Say what you mean what you say. Just say it.
- 6:22'Cause we kind of read what you putting down already.
- 6:25We all know what you mean. You're like, it's not it's we
- 6:28know what you mean. As some people have said, when
- 6:31you put out the trash, the trash puts out itself sometimes.
- 6:34So OK, anyway, we have a lot of catching up to do 'cause we've
- 6:42been gone for two weeks. We, I didn't nothing.
- 6:49But my question, my random question of the week is Mariah,
- 6:58Celine, Shaka, Diana, Aretha and Gaga are celebrating their
- 7:05birthdays this week. What diva are you claiming?
- 7:12And they don't even have to be one of those.
- 7:15I don't know. I mean, out of those it's
- 7:17tricky. I think probably the the least
- 7:21sort of drama problematic any like all the things are probably
- 7:26Chaka Khan. You don't really hear anything
- 7:29about her having any issues or, you know, whatever.
- 7:36Celine is always good. But, you know, we have to, we
- 7:40have to acknowledge that, you know, her late husband.
- 7:47We don't, we don't. It's one of those things that
- 7:49nobody talks about, but it's like, OK, you were like, what,
- 7:521416 when he brought you kind of out boys that we did.
- 7:56And then Mariah decided to have babies with people that she
- 8:01probably shouldn't have had babies with.
- 8:04Person, I don't know how any of those people have babies with 13
- 8:11or is he on 14? What the fuck knows?
- 8:15But the you know, what's funny is that Mariah's kids are
- 8:18growing up and her daughter Roe is very snappy, I think.
- 8:26And and one of the comments, like, I think it was like one of
- 8:31her half brothers is in one of the photos and she's like,
- 8:33that's not my brother. That's my half brother.
- 8:37Like setting the record straight as she did.
- 8:43And she's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 8:45I only have one brother. Right.
- 8:49Like you try to claim all your like half siblings or whatever
- 8:53and you're like, you're like, like your, your, your daddy's a
- 8:57hoe and basically. How come the?
- 9:00Women who decide to keep having and the women who keep deciding
- 9:04to have, like babies with him. I'm like, are you?
- 9:06Stupid, I know, but nobody's like putting him through the
- 9:10dumpster fire. I again.
- 9:14OK, so I'll tell you my favorite diva.
- 9:16You know my favorite diva but don't have no idea.
- 9:19No, it's Mariah, but and she filmed herself going through the
- 9:24grocery store. Not sure what that's about yet,
- 9:27'cause I haven't fully caught up to the world today.
- 9:32But anyhow, she's at like a Trader Joe's shopping.
- 9:37I feel like I have always been connected to Whitney and Aretha
- 9:46but very recently, especially since the pandemic, Dionne
- 9:52Warwick because she is sassy as hell.
- 9:57Yes. Like I relate to this.
- 9:59I feel like sometimes I can say that I do the same thing online
- 10:06when I comment. I have to like really be into it
- 10:09if I comment. That means especially if you
- 10:14guys are commenting about like controversial things and I
- 10:19comment, that means I have felt like there is a need for me to
- 10:24enter the chat. Right, right.
- 10:27'Cause I could see, God, I could see.
- 10:30You know, 9/9 times out of time 10 these days I just keep
- 10:33scrolling because. I'm like, Oh my God, what are we
- 10:36fighting about? I will read the whole thread and
- 10:39then be like, OK, I'm done, right, 'cause I don't need to
- 10:42say anything, 'cause most people say what you need to say
- 10:45already, right? If they haven't, then I just go
- 10:50right. But this whole film thing, I
- 10:52haven't commented on anything but.
- 10:57Yeah. I mean, if you don't like the
- 11:00rules, create your own pageant. Go compete for something else
- 11:05like. Create your own opportunity or
- 11:08go back and. There's plenty of.
- 11:11There's plenty of there's plenty of pageants out there.
- 11:17Like there's all sorts of different pageants.
- 11:18You don't like this one? Go try another one.
- 11:20There's like 280 million. I don't know right pick.
- 11:23Maybe the same thing won't happen and you won't get beaten
- 11:25by a girl, I mean. But if it does, maybe that's a
- 11:27pattern, right? We like to discuss and recognize
- 11:33patterns here. So if you got that going on
- 11:38right, I don't know your life, though many of you have put it
- 11:42out there. At.

- 14:13OK, so this jacket from the pictures is beautiful.
- 14:23Thank you. I'm I'm actually very proud of
- 14:26this jacket. It's been a it's been a hot
- 14:28minute since I made anything like new like myself and stuff
- 14:33like it's it's been a while. It has.
- 14:36And I was actually very proud of this jacket.
- 14:38I painted it myself, I stoned it.
- 14:41I did all the things. Well, you didn't tell me that
- 14:43that you painted it. I did it's it's the the
- 14:48tentacles are are all painted the the all the rhinestoning and
- 14:52stuff is all me. So I was actually very proud of
- 14:55it and you know, I did the pants and stuff, the the Cthulhu mask
- 14:59that I wore, like the helmet that I wore at Wild West Con,
- 15:04you know, sort of a joint effort.
- 15:06I am not good with foam. I would like to be better with
- 15:08foam, but I'm just, I'm not Ben Havoc, however, is amazing with
- 15:12foam. So Ben Havoc made made me the
- 15:16helmet and then handed me the like the just the plain black.
- 15:20So I painted it and embellished it and everything.
- 15:23It's actually it's, it's right here.
- 15:24I'll show everybody later. Maybe on our PayPal?
- 15:28Oh, there we go. But I was, yeah, I'm, I was
- 15:31actually very proud of how the whole thing came together,
- 15:35'cause it's. Been a while, I want to say that
- 15:38everyone looked amazing. BT tubs I didn't see the show
- 15:45but that's for another day. But if you want to sponsor us,
- 15:49our PayPal is down there. It's hard to change our PayPal
- 15:52name unless I start a new account.
- 15:54I don't. That's dumb.
- 15:57I have a lot of accounts and passwords.
- 16:00Do I want a #1? Weird that we can't change.
- 16:03You'd think you'd be able to change your username like.
- 16:06No. That's weird.
- 16:09I even wrote an e-mail. So there's that anyhow.
- 16:15But money is money that no matter what the name says down
- 16:18there, if you want to donate to our PayPal, you can.
- 16:23If you want to be a small business owner or if you are a
- 16:26small business owner and want to sponsor us.
- 16:29And let us talk about your product.
- 16:32If it's a product that aligns with our values and our
- 16:35whatever, 'cause, you know, some things be a little.
- 16:41Iffy. Not all money is good money.
- 16:43Not like we're just. I mean, but if you're like a
- 16:47Trump supporter, no. No, but we're, we're happy to
- 16:52promote your, your, your stuff. We've, you know, we, we, we have
- 16:55a, a proven track record of like, you know, boosting some
- 16:59sales and stuff for small businesses.
- 17:00So. Anyway, that's enough begging
- 17:04for money for now. I will go first 'cause I feel.
- 17:10Like, yeah, yeah, go ahead. Too, too much to get of.
- 17:17I wanna say that it was busy for me, but that's how my life is at
- 17:23the moment. But I don't have much to report.
- 17:29It's so weird not having that many things going on, but having
- 17:35that many things. It's one, it's like, it's like
- 17:38life busy instead of like drag busy.
- 17:42It's like there's just a lot of life stuff going on, like.
- 17:45I was very domesticated motherly duties, but we could talk about
- 17:57motherly duties on the Patreon. But I will say that I did have
- 18:03the Irish tea drag bingo at Drink Me Tea Room and these
- 18:11people have lit me up. Yeah.
- 18:15The Irish tea was a Bruin and I think they were getting more
- 18:18cocktails than tea. But I, I had two birthdays in
- 18:24the house, had a little moment of like foot and mouth.
- 18:33I could talk about that on the Patreon.
- 18:35I don't want to talk about it right here, but it was
- 18:39hilarious. It was hilarious.
- 18:41It was hilarious. Just stories upon stories,
- 18:51people celebrating birthdays. But then we try to make
- 18:56everybody real, you know, like be rhythmic and melodic
- 19:01together. Oh no, we know how that goes,
- 19:05that. It didn't work out 'cause
- 19:07there's a certain persuasion that tends to go a little Yeah,
- 19:16so. And you know me, I'm off beat
- 19:19already. I don't need help.
- 19:20We. Don't need.
- 19:24I needed their help to be on beat and melodic, but they
- 19:29weren't. Well.
- 19:31Walmart, but it was so fun. It was so fun and it can't wait
- 19:36to do it in April. We have a lot of we have a
- 19:39couple of drag bingo opportunities in April, so we.
- 19:43Do. Can't wait for that.
- 19:46I did some other stuff but I can't remember.
- 19:49I tried to remember last night. I even looked through my
- 19:51calendar and I was like I have. To do that pretty much every
- 19:55week, I'm like, did I do anything?
- 19:57Like I felt like I did something I.
- 19:58Felt like there's something else that I did but I don't remember.
- 20:05But you had I left the space open 'cause.
- 20:09This Yeah, I figured I I didn't, I didn't put down any tips
- 20:13tonight 'cause I figured we had enough to kind of chat about and
- 20:15catch up on. Doesn't have a lot going on.
- 20:18You know, it's been like 2 weeks since we've been doing this.
- 20:22So I was like, you know, so I've, the reason we've been gone
- 20:26for the last two weeks is because I have been basically on
- 20:28vacation. The original plan, sorry, the
- 20:35original plan that my partner and I had was we were going to
- 20:38go to Universal, come back for a couple days, or go to Universal
- 20:43and then from there go to Disneyland for a few days.
- 20:47Like during our actual anniversary.
- 20:49We postponed the thank you 6 years when you're married.
- 20:55We decided to postpone Disney until May because we got tickets
- 20:59to Star Wars Night. So very excited about that.
- 21:02But we did go to Universal, which was fun.
- 21:05I hadn't been to Universal in probably 40 years, like
- 21:09literally 40 years. Yeah, I I like so I.
- 21:13Have a kid. Yeah, so I have very little
- 21:17memory of Universal and it would be all different anyway.
- 21:20I remember being on the tour and I remember like Jaws, which that
- 21:25was still like super, super cool.
- 21:27The studio tour was really fun. I always enjoy that because they
- 21:31always talk about like the a lot of the old movies and stuff that
- 21:33were filmed on the lot and, you know, like the the.
- 21:39And their tour way better than Disney Studio tour, right?
- 21:44And like the the set for like that they used for right.
- 21:47And the set they used for Jaws was also used for the set as
- 21:51Cabot Cove on murder she wrote, which, you know, so there's like
- 21:55I and I love that kind of stuff. Like I love that right?
- 21:58Like I love that kind of like film history and stuff.
- 22:00Like I think it's I'm I'm a wealth of like useless knowledge
- 22:06when it comes to like. Movies and stuff.
- 22:11And it was our first time going to Super Nintendo World, which
- 22:15is fun. It's one of those things it's
- 22:18it's cute. Like, it's really, really like
- 22:20it. It was it was so cool to like go
- 22:22and see everything sort of life-size, but they have these
- 22:25like bands that you can get that you can like you can get points
- 22:29and like you have to beat like little mini challenges to go
- 22:32into the castle and beat like Bowser junior.
- 22:35There's like all these little places where like you can
- 22:38collect stickers if you like find like if you hit all the
- 22:40boxes, if you meet the characters, like there's all
- 22:43sorts of cool stuff. So it was like it was like it
- 22:46was super fun and the little the ride was fun.
- 22:48It was Bowser's something, but it was like, it was one of those
- 22:533D rides. So it's like the other thing,
- 22:54but you have to like, shoot, you're like, it's Mario Kart, so
- 22:58you're like. So it's very interactive then
- 23:00yes, you know, just sit there. The The Mummy ride was really
- 23:06cool. It was, it seemed really short,
- 23:09but it was very kind of similar to like Indiana Jones at
- 23:11Disneyland. I think Indiana Jones was
- 23:14better, but this one was, it was a similar type of vibe.
- 23:18The Jurassic World was fun. The the downside to Universal
- 23:27was that so many of the rides are 3D, which if you are
- 23:34anything like me, yeah, we went into and I had to start asking
- 23:42if a ride was 3D or not because it was Yeah.
- 23:48So like the first one that we one of the first ones that we
- 23:51went on after like we did Mario and stuff.
- 23:52We went because Mario, I could handle it was a little bit
- 23:55different. It was more sort of
- 23:57all-encompassing instead of like being like right fucking here.
- 24:00Like it was it was a little bit different as far as like the
- 24:02interaction. But we went on The Simpsons ride
- 24:06and immediately I was like, Nope.
- 24:08And I spent the entire ride, I had my eyes shut.
- 24:10I was like, oh fuck. And then we decided to go to.
- 24:22I think this is the second day, I don't remember.
- 24:26At one point, how many days were you there?
- 24:28Two days. It's much smaller than
- 24:30Disneyland. You really only need 2 days.
- 24:33Like legitimately? I feel like I can like literally
- 24:36live at Disneyland. Right.
- 24:40And we ended up going, we went into Harry Potter world.
- 24:44We spent no money because I don't know if folks are aware of
- 24:48this, but anytime you buy anything that is Harry Potter
- 24:52licensed merch in Universal, whether it is food, whether it
- 24:58is AT shirt, whatever it is, JKR gets a cut.
- 25:03So if you buy a butter beer, she gets a cut.
- 25:06Oh, I remember that used to be your favorite.
- 25:09Yeah, so. Are there other brands that
- 25:13don't go into her pocket? I mean all the the other stuff
- 25:18at Universal doesn't go into her pocket.
- 25:19It's just specifically the Harry Potter.
- 25:21No, I meant the butter beer. No, I'd have to make my own
- 25:24butter beer. But we went into 'cause we could
- 25:29ride the rides. It's like she doesn't make
- 25:30anything off of that. So we went in and went to ride
- 25:33one of the rides and it was like, no, it's going to be fine.
- 25:39This will be fine. It's not.
- 25:40As soon as we sat down and we're strapped in, I was like, oh
- 25:44shit. And you're basically in this
- 25:49like thing and you're like being flung around and you're like
- 25:51flying and shit. At one point they like tip you
- 25:53upside down. And I again, about 30 seconds
- 25:59in, I had my eyes shut and I'm just like please.
- 26:01Don't throw up. Please don't throw up.
- 26:04It's the 3D combined. You like let's throw you around
- 26:08and put you upside down and things.
- 26:09And I was like, fuck, as soon as we got off the ride, I made a
- 26:13beeline to the bathroom, threw up a couple times and then I was
- 26:16fine. But yeah, unfortunately for me,
- 26:22because so many of the rides are three, DI was kind of Sol when
- 26:28it comes to a lot of the rides. The Jurassic World I could do.
- 26:31The Mummy I could do, but most of it was.
- 26:36You're not right. Yeah, it that was the only thing
- 26:40that sucked for me. Like is, and a lot of people are
- 26:43fine with it. Like if you're you know, I have
- 26:45the same problem with some of the 3D rides at Disneyland, like
- 26:47Star Tours. The first time we went back a
- 26:49few years ago, made me stick right off the bat.
- 26:51It was the first thing we did and I threw up all over the
- 26:53place. Millennium Falcon I can't do
- 26:56but, but you know, all the other things are fine.
- 27:02But yeah, I, I can't do the 3D shit.
- 27:05I will end up like just throwing up everywhere.
- 27:08So we, we travelled with my meta for the first time, which was
- 27:14great. Nobody died.
- 27:17So that was fun. And then we came back, we were
- 27:22home for a couple of days and then we bounced off to Wawa
- 27:26Westcon now. I want, I want to talk about.
- 27:32I was reading and then I was like.
- 27:36Thursday Alright, so Thursday we were, you know, heading down to
- 27:39Tucson. And mind you, Wednesday night
- 27:42we're trying to, you know, finish up packing, finish up,
- 27:46you know, all the little things. I definitely was not rhinestone
- 27:50in costumes. Wednesday night, it wasn't
- 27:53happening. And the original plan was to get
- 27:58to Tucson around 1:00 PM on Thursday, right?
- 28:00So we get up in the morning, loaded up the car, got on the
- 28:07road, went down the 51, made it as far as about Ray Road or so
- 28:15on the 10, and I went Fuck. Oh, I.
- 28:20Is that what that noise was? Yeah, I left my props and a
- 28:25bunch of stuff for like the show at home.
- 28:29And it wasn't one of these things that would be easily
- 28:31accessible for somebody else to come in and get it, you know,
- 28:36it. It would have just required too
- 28:38much shuffling, right, and trying to coordinate schedules.
- 28:41And so I'm like, God damn it. So I turned around, drove half
- 28:45an hour back up. Oh yeah, drove half an hour back
- 28:48up, grabbed the props and stuff, but back in the car and started
- 28:53driving again. Right.
- 28:54No problem. There was some traffic.
- 28:57They're doing construction all over the place.
- 28:58It was stupid. We ended up getting to Tucson,
- 29:02probably closer. It was, I think it was like
- 29:032:30-ish when we finally got to Tucson.
- 29:07And then we go to check in and when we had originally booked
- 29:12the room we had, there was a, a thing where you could, I think
- 29:17you could pay extra and you could request a specific type of
- 29:21room that was like right by the main pool.
- 29:23And so we did that because it was where we, it was 2022 was
- 29:27the first time we had gone to wow Westcon together.
- 29:31And so we had stayed in one of those rooms and we're like, oh,
- 29:33that was perfect. So we want to stay in another
- 29:35one. So that's what we arranged and
- 29:36we get there, we're checking in and the girls like, so we were
- 29:39overbooked. So we upgraded you and we're
- 29:41like, what does that mean? And they're like.
- 29:44Great match your upgrade. Right.
- 29:46And they're like, well, we moved you over here and it's a bigger
- 29:49room and we're like, OK, but we don't need necessarily a bigger
- 29:53room. This is where we wanted to be.
- 29:55That's why we requested it and paid extra for it.
- 29:58And we didn't want to be those people.
- 30:00But we also, we're going to be those people because we had a
- 30:02lot of shit and the room they had us in, it was like it was on
- 30:05a second floor. And granted, it wasn't like it
- 30:09wasn't a bunch of stairs, but it was stairs.
- 30:12And I'm like, we have all of this shit and we're not going to
- 30:15carry it upstairs. So we're like, no, that is not
- 30:18an upgrade for us. We don't care that the room is
- 30:20bigger. We don't need a 650 square foot
- 30:22room, like right, Like we the reason we asked to be here was
- 30:30because of this, with this, this.
- 30:30So they finally had to get the manager because I'm sorry, but
- 30:34you became that person and we're like, no, we're going to be this
- 30:39person. So they got the manager and she
- 30:43fixed it and put us instead of a room with two beds, room with
- 30:46one bed where we wanted to be. And I'm like, this is fine, we
- 30:49don't need to. Why couldn't that girl do that?
- 30:53She was probably freaking out. We weren't being mean, but we
- 30:57were being very much like, no, we're not OK with this, right?
- 31:03And I think she just kind of freaked out a little bit.
- 31:06I mean, we weren't being a Dick about it, but we were being very
- 31:09stern. Like we were like, I'm sorry,
- 31:11this is not going to work. We have too much stuff to be
- 31:14able to carry upstairs. Like we had the wagon and like,
- 31:19like we already took, we literally had the wagon.
- 31:22We had like the the bellman was there and like filled up his
- 31:25cart full of stuff. Like we had enough stuff.
- 31:26No, we're not carrying it upstairs.
- 31:28It's not happening and putting us further away.
- 31:30From like the is downstairs. No, we weren't.
- 31:36This was a different, it was a different venue than last year.
- 31:39Oh, OK. And where they were putting us
- 31:43was way further away from where we needed to be, as far as like
- 31:46where the ballroom was and stuff.
- 31:48We're like, no, this is literally up the stairs.
- 31:50Like we're literally right here. Like ballroom is here.
- 31:52We're here. I'm like, that's where I want to
- 31:54be. I don't want to have to drag my
- 31:55shit all over the resort trying to get to where I need to be.
- 31:58So no. So they put us where we needed
- 32:01to be. That was fine.
- 32:02So by this point it is 105° in Tucson right now in March, which
- 32:08is unheard of, you know. What that is, I want to say.
- 32:10I want to say fuck Mother Nature, but I blame the humans.
- 32:15That's. Really, what I wanted to like,
- 32:18that's really what I wanted to speak to the manager about
- 32:19because that was some bullshit. It is never that hot in Tucson
- 32:25in March. It's not ever.
- 32:28And it, I mean, it was, it was fucking hot.
- 32:30So after all of this and back and forth, black and forth,
- 32:32blah, blah, blah, you know, we're finally in the room and
- 32:34we're like, OK, I'm really hot. Let's get, you know, get clothes
- 32:37on, go to registration, we'll get our badges and then we'll go
- 32:41walk around and stuff, you know? And I'm like, OK, cool.
- 32:45Can you hand me my deodorant real quick 'cause my toiletry
- 32:48bag was in a big like bag that had all of our toiletries and
- 32:52stuff. Where's your toiletry bag?
- 32:56In the bag with the toiletries? No, no it's not.
- 33:03What? Wait, so did you forget all of
- 33:06your? All of it.
- 33:08All of it. My toiletry bag is still here.
- 33:11No, her stuff was there. My toiletry bag never made it
- 33:15into that bag. So my toiletry bag was still in
- 33:19our room at home. And so at that point I was like,
- 33:24are you fucking kidding me? So we went and grabbed our
- 33:30badges because otherwise registration was going to close.
- 33:33Then we got in the car, went to Walmart where I had to get
- 33:37literally everything. I had to get deodorant.
- 33:38I had to get a toothbrush. I had to get a beard trimmer.
- 33:41I had to get razors. I had to get all of this shit
- 33:45because I brought none of it with me.
- 33:48I even had to pick up some of my medication because.
- 33:51Because you had forgotten the whole month of.
- 33:54Fucking my medic, my pills were in my toiletry bag and some of
- 33:58the medication is like no big deal.
- 34:00But my allergy meds, which is what keeps me from like going
- 34:03into anaphylaxis I needed to have.
- 34:07So we had to go get the fucking meds and I was so like.
- 34:11But luckily, was it over the counter?
- 34:14Yes, yeah, those the three specific ones that were going to
- 34:18keep me. From going there like that is
- 34:20not over the counter and no. There were a couple there are
- 34:25some meds that I don't take that that are not that I take that
- 34:28are are not over the counter, but I could do without them for
- 34:31a couple days and it wouldn't be a big deal.
- 34:34But yeah, so that. An entertainer.
- 34:38I would like to explain that you when you're away from home, you
- 34:42want to feel as much at home as possible and as comfortable.
- 34:46I remembered all my makeup. That is very ironic.
- 34:51I remembered all my makeup I had.
- 34:52All that, thank God, 'cause that would have been.
- 34:55I've traveled around this country and forgotten my makeup
- 34:58before. Right.
- 35:00No, I've I've totally done that too.
- 35:01And it's but so that kind of like it was rough.
- 35:06I just, I kept kicking myself that time.
- 35:07I'm like, this is so fucking stupid, so fucking stupid.
- 35:10But Thursday night, both my partner and I got to be on the
- 35:16panel for the cog match with Madam Eskew and the Grand
- 35:20arbiter. That was so much fun.
- 35:22And for like I, I think I mentioned this before I went on
- 35:25vacation, but this was the last Wild West con in this form.
- 35:30You know, this was going to be the last year or so.
- 35:32I'm so glad that I got to be a part of the, the cog match is
- 35:36the last cog match. And it was, it was well, no with
- 35:41like as far as at the con because they do it virtually
- 35:45every so. Often I was like, oh wait, I
- 35:47liked it. So that was like, it was, that
- 35:51was something. But that was that was fun.
- 35:55Friday I regretted all of my life choices during the day
- 36:00because the outfit that I had planned looked really cool but
- 36:04was hot as fuck. So I.
- 36:08Yeah, I looked at that. I thought, oh, you.
- 36:12I wore it long enough to like make my rounds.
- 36:15Hey, look at me. I did the thing, get some
- 36:17pictures and then I'm like, no, I'm, I took that.
- 36:19Fuck bitch off. I didn't.
- 36:20Even I took shit off. The mask alone.
- 36:23But I know, but it looked cool. Yeah, pictures look great, but I
- 36:30was like Oh my God, he's mother fucking crazy.
- 36:33But it was OK 'cause Friday is always like a short day at con
- 36:37anyway, because then I have to go and.
- 36:43Be in producer mode. I have to start right then I
- 36:45have to start getting into face and start getting ready to like
- 36:48do stuff for the show and you know, and all that.
- 36:50So but then we got back and we realized that I had no makeup
- 36:53wipes. So and there was something else
- 36:55that Dee needed to get. I don't remember what.
- 36:58So she had to go to back to Walmart and I get a call from
- 37:01her. She's coming back from Walmart
- 37:02and she's like, you'll never guess, totally forgot the makeup
- 37:05wipes. But luckily I passed a
- 37:07Walgreens. So I stopped and got the
- 37:08Walgreens. It was it.
- 37:12Was why be life and so hard for y'all?
- 37:15It was a well, there's something else that she forgot too.
- 37:18So it was like it was a, it was a whole thing.
- 37:20It was, you know, the show Friday night.
- 37:24I was so proud to be able to put this show on.
- 37:29My cast was amazing. We had a, we had a little snafu
- 37:35with that too. I will talk about that on the
- 37:37Patreon. But it was it was it was great.
- 37:45And all the rest of the weekend people were just would stop me
- 37:51and be like the show on Friday was amazing.
- 37:54There were a couple people that had never it I I it made me so
- 37:59happy. Like not just for me, but like
- 38:01for like the whole show, my whole cast, you know, And like,
- 38:05there were a few people that had never seen drag or burlesque
- 38:08before. That was their very first show
- 38:11and they were like, you guys really set the bar really high.
- 38:14Like I'm so glad that this was my first experience.
- 38:17It was so amazing. Everybody like.
- 38:18It was just. It was like everybody was just.
- 38:22Kidding. Raving about it.
- 38:24And that made me so happy and so proud that I was able to like,
- 38:30go out with a bang, you know what I mean?
- 38:32Like I, my goal was to to try and make the show something that
- 38:36people are going to be talking about all weekend and that would
- 38:38be remembered, you know, after the fact, since it was the last
- 38:41one. And I think that we managed to
- 38:44achieve that. And that made me so happy.
- 38:49And, you know, besides it being way too fucking hot the rest of
- 38:53the weekend. Did we?
- 38:55Go. To the.
- 38:58Pool at all you were buying. Like we were by it.
- 39:01We sat in the hot tub Friday night after the thing and then
- 39:05Saturday, No Friday, Saturday, Thursday we were in the hot tub
- 39:10Friday, no Friday. We were in the hot tub Saturday
- 39:13night. Saturday night we were around
- 39:15the pool. We were celebrating Madam
- 39:16Eskew's birthday. And happy birthday.
- 39:21I brought so my homemade limoncello and I mixed the
- 39:24strawberry E GS with my homemade limoncello and that shit was God
- 39:29that shit was so good. So good.
- 39:33So you made limoncello but I'm still waiting for lemon bars.
- 39:37I don't. Know what to tell?
- 39:40You. I guess I have to come up there
- 39:41and make them myself. So sad, I mean.
- 39:47But we got. To see.
- 39:50We got to see a lot of the folks that we only see at Conn.
- 39:53So it was a good kind of opportunity to be able to like
- 39:56see folks and say goodbye, you know, and, and stuff.
- 39:59But there's, there are some things in the works, like
- 40:02smaller things. I was chatting with a couple
- 40:05people. So if you want to learn about
- 40:08steampunk, if there's things that you want to learn how to
- 40:11do, stuff like that, there will be opportunities to do that.
- 40:15So keep an eye out. I will be working with some
- 40:18folks. On some things.
- 40:21That's good. Yeah, no, there, there will be
- 40:23some things. It's not going away.
- 40:26Like that I felt that, well, only because I am part of the,
- 40:30you know, the whole like great thing that I was like, this
- 40:35doesn't feel like it's goodbye. It just feels like it's in a
- 40:37different. It's not.
- 40:38And there are. There are enough of us around,
- 40:41like Phoenix and Tucson, that there are enough of us to be
- 40:44able to put together like smaller, smaller things, you
- 40:47know? You guys can always do meet ups.
- 40:49I love meet ups. Right that's that's one of the
- 40:52things that are also you know, so there's there are things you
- 40:55know potentially happening. So it's not goodbye, it's just
- 40:57we'll see you later. But it was it was good.
- 41:02And then of course between Universal and Wild West Con, the
- 41:07organization of the drag cave continues.
- 41:10Our backroom now has probably when I see our backroom, our
- 41:13dining room area probably has 30 tubs in it right now that are
- 41:18currently being worked on and organized and situated.
- 41:21And once those are all situated, they will come back here and be
- 41:24put back where they need to go. We need to get shelves though to
- 41:26put these things on. So that means though, but.
- 41:31Room to walk around in there. Yes, right now, my, my, my drag
- 41:35cave, it's like the the main part of the drag cave where this
- 41:38area is, is pretty empty. There's been a lot of things
- 41:42that were taken out and taken inside so that they could be
- 41:45organized, move around. It's sort of, but it's it's
- 41:51don't look over. Here, don't look over.
- 41:53Here, don't look over. Here it's a process, but it is
- 41:56it is coming along and it will get done hopefully soon.
- 41:59So there there was, you know, there's, there's that.
- 42:03So I did have a very eventful couple of weeks.
- 42:09I did get to, you know, celebrate my actual anniversary
- 42:14with my partner on the 13th. We went to a great little Thai
- 42:18restaurant that is downtown like near Roosevelt Row.
- 42:25And we did a really cool thing where it's like it's Adagadai,
- 42:28which means whatever in Thai. And if you choose that you tell
- 42:34them like a few preferences like if there's anything that you
- 42:36definitely. Won't eat or then you leave.
- 42:38Kind of. You leave the rest of it up to
- 42:40the chef and then the chef will just send out usually 3 or 4
- 42:44dishes like an appetizer, a couple of mains.
- 42:46Let me correct that, 'cause I we, we know people that are food
- 42:50people, chef's choice. Let me correct myself, yeah.
- 42:54Alright, yeah, submit. But it was it was really good.
- 42:58It was, you know, so, so we were able to, to enjoy ourselves the
- 43:04last couple weeks, you know, and get some stuff done.
- 43:07We had a good time. We did some stuff, you know.
- 43:09Yeah, I love when there is so much going on and so many things
- 43:15happening that if we can just stop for a minute.
- 43:21Trying to get back into the swing of like and like going
- 43:26back to work and like doing like you're still kind of dealing
- 43:28with like the con drop, which we've talked talked about before
- 43:30and like trying to get right in the, you know, so it was like,
- 43:35but it was it was fine. It was good.
- 43:37And, you know, if anybody wants to come to Disneyland with us in
- 43:40May, you know, send me a message, come with us because
- 43:44there's some rides that I can't ride that, you know, he's.
- 43:48Going to need somebody to go on these rides with right company.
- 43:52Do you need some company on some of these rides?
- 43:54I will sit and. I will.
- 43:56I am telling you, a roller coaster person.
- 43:58So let's go. Oh, are you going to California
- 44:02Adventure? Yeah.
- 44:05We're doing California adventure the first day.
- 44:08And then on the Incredibles ride.
- 44:12So we're going the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th and like.
- 44:18I can't go to that why I'm working.
- 44:23Fuck work. Well, we can talk about all the
- 44:27Patreon, yeah. But but yeah, so, you know,
- 44:31we're we're going, we're doing the thing if you want to come,
- 44:33we're more the merrier. We're good to travel with, you
- 44:36know, we got. I can contest to this.
- 44:39You know, we we Dee needs people to be able to to go on roller
- 44:43coasters and things with that will make me sick.
- 44:45I will hold bags and sunglasses and like grab a cotton candy and
- 44:48park myself somewhere while you. And, and it's been very
- 44:53documented now your your wife has now put it on the Internet,
- 44:59very good at snacks. Yes, very good at snacks and.
- 45:04Some he may not share though, so just be aware of that.
- 45:07Most of them I will share. He's mostly there.
- 45:12Sometimes if I'm like, no, don't touch my shit.
- 45:14But yeah. So yeah, it's been a, it's been
- 45:16a, it's been a good, it's been a good couple weeks.
- 45:18It's been busy, it's been busy, but it's been a, it's been a
- 45:20good couple weeks. What have we got as far as like
- 45:23current events and shit happening right now?
- 45:26Oh hold on, I'll tell you in a second, does this video work?
- 45:53OK, so we were gone for two weeks and things got really
- 46:04weird. Weird because we were gone and I
- 46:09just don't understand what's going on First.
- 46:13Well, well, we both forgot this, but I think it was starting
- 46:16before we got off air. But Iran as a thing again.
- 46:27Yeah. So in my opinion we are anti
- 46:36abortion, but things are happening where people are
- 46:43leaders who are pedophiles and we're bombing children in a.
- 46:50Foreign country. We're we're not, we're we're pro
- 46:56birth is what it is. We're not pro-life.
- 46:58We're just pro birth. After that we don't give a fuck.
- 47:00We've said this before. Like so we just have, they just
- 47:03have to be born. Right after that, we don't want
- 47:06to, we don't, we don't want to take care of them because what
- 47:08if they have to be on like welfare or something?
- 47:10Oh no. Right.
- 47:12Like we don't want to have to like give them free lunches or
- 47:14make sure that they are healthy or you know.
- 47:17Eating. Or anything we don't.
- 47:18We don't want that. We just non POC people are the
- 47:21people that make up the majority of the welfare this country.
- 47:26We don't. We don't.
- 47:27We don't talk about that. Oh shit.
- 47:30We don't talk about that. Damn.
- 47:34Anyway, Nope, Reagan said. It was just black crack whores.
- 47:39Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. And that's what we're sticking
- 47:49with. Yeah, something that's almost 40
- 47:53years old. That's good.
- 47:54That's good. That's good.
- 47:55That's what we're going with. OK.
- 47:59Yeah. So on top of that, did you know
- 48:02that the government is partially shut down as they cut funds
- 48:07Surprised from the the Department of Homeland Security
- 48:17intern cutting funding for the TSA, which I don't think was
- 48:25securing our airports as much as one might think.
- 48:31So they all quit or majority of them have quit, call out sick
- 48:37and now ICE has come in and has already started the mess that we
- 48:44are all insane about. You know, this was planned,
- 48:47like, you know, this was the plan.
- 48:49Let's make sure that we can get TSA because if we can get ice in
- 48:51there, we can head them off like right before they even, you
- 48:53know, they're not even getting out of the air.
- 48:57No, we're, we're going to get the illegals, damn it.
- 49:02And like they're, they're saying that they like they're going to
- 49:05cut funding so they can't pay TSA, but they can afford to fly,
- 49:11like bring people in, they can bring ice in, but they can't
- 49:15afford to pay TSA. Sketchy, OK.
- 49:24Also, did you know that it cost about 1 to $2 billion a day to
- 49:32be at war with somebody that we have no business being at war
- 49:36with? Yep, we can afford that.
- 49:39But God forbid that we. Again, I'm going to say we have
- 49:43the government. Food or health care or pay
- 49:46people. We can't do that, but yay war.
- 49:50So next time they say we don't have money for stuff and you
- 49:55look at your children and go, oh, wow, we should really have
- 49:58free health care. But they say we can't afford
- 50:01that, right? But then we set off a bomb that
- 50:04cost 1:00 to 2:00 billion dollars.
- 50:08A day. A day?
- 50:10A day? Seriously.
- 50:12So the next time they tell you that there's not enough money,
- 50:17know that they are full of shit. 100% full of shit.
- 50:21A. Day, Yeah.
- 50:26So yeah, that's in the WTF section of our of our news this
- 50:34evening. Going to try not to laugh at
- 50:39this because it's serious. And it's very serious.
- 50:48So my husband read this headline off to me.
- 50:53Stop playing with me is what I said.
- 50:55I'm just curious. About the logistics.
- 51:01Click on the second link it shows a video when you spell
- 51:05down I'm going to read this and I just want you all to you can
- 51:11Fact Check me for this. I'm not making this up because
- 51:17the whole titles sounds very off.
- 51:20OK ready. Pro cornhole player and
- 51:26quadruple quadrupole amputee athlete accused of shooting man,
- 51:35dumping the body in Maryland. I have many questions.
- 51:42First of all, how does somebody become a professional cornhole
- 51:45player? It's the thing I have now found
- 51:49my future career. I'm going to be an athlete,
- 51:54yeah. I'm going to be a pro athlete.
- 51:56That's. It's registered.
- 51:58It's registered athleticism. I'm just, we're just, we're
- 52:04just, we're just gonna leave that one as we're just gonna.
- 52:07So if you open the link that is on the show sheet, it shows this
- 52:14man is able to pull the trigger of a 9mm 'cause he posted the
- 52:23video of himself shooting the gun.
- 52:26Not on the crime scene, but like at some other time.
- 52:33Good for him. Yeah.
- 52:40I I'm glad that he is. How did he become a quad
- 52:43amputee? He was born with like some kind
- 52:48of infection in his limbs and they had to amputate when he was
- 52:53very young. So it's real.
- 53:00Don't, don't laugh. I mean good, Good for him.
- 53:05We're inclusive here. We include everybody, and I will
- 53:10encourage you that if you are looking for some classical
- 53:21comments in which took part underneath these news articles,
- 53:30it is very relieving to read the comments.
- 53:39Yeah, OK. Oh, this one I did not catch up
- 53:44on. This is a first of its kind,
- 53:48really. We're moving into new territory,
- 53:51folks. A California jury has found
- 53:53Meta, which is Facebook and Instagram and all their other
- 53:56family of apps and YouTube liable on all counts in a
- 54:03landmark case that accused them of intentionally addicting a
- 54:06woman and injuring her mental health.
- 54:12This case could potentially set precedent for similar cases down
- 54:16the line. So I don't.
- 54:21We'll just start with this. It's it's going to be
- 54:24interesting to see where this goes from here for sure.
- 54:27There may be more regulations on social media to a point where
- 54:33you may have to pay for it. Something a lot of countries
- 54:36have really cracked down on, like teens and kids using social
- 54:40media and things so. Some countries have been like no
- 54:44yours your child doesn't get a cell phone till they're like 14.
- 54:48Right. And I'm like, so there's,
- 54:49there's been some interesting things happening, not here
- 54:52obviously, but elsewhere where people actually.
- 54:55We put chemicals and metals in our food, so we're not even
- 54:59worried about cell phones, right?
- 55:04So yeah, I will say that cell phones in general were designed
- 55:10just like slot machines. So intentionally your phone goes
- 55:16like this and it's just like this.
- 55:20Right. And it's that right?
- 55:22Yeah. And it's been like statistically
- 55:25proven and research over the years that the more they have
- 55:30made it easier to access your phone, 'cause you remember we
- 55:33used to have to like press the numbers to a point where like,
- 55:39you got to like, if somebody text you too many times, you
- 55:41would start calling people 'cause you'd be like, OK, the
- 55:44well. You remember when you used to
- 55:45have to pay per text? Yeah, or and you just have to
- 55:49wait until like 9:00 to call people, right?
- 55:52Like that was an like don't if you were lucky, you had a plan
- 55:55where like it started at 7:00 so it was like OK, after 7
- 55:59everything is free. But until then, don't text me.
- 56:01Don't call me unless it's an emergency.
- 56:04Well, then, well, I don't want to go too far back, but you
- 56:09know, if you still had a pager, you just paid somebody and you
- 56:12quickly called them, you know, like, you know, my minutes are
- 56:15going to run out. But if you call me after 7, we
- 56:17could talk about this, right? Right.
- 56:20You only really call people if it was an emergency.
- 56:22And if you really, really, really wanted to talk to
- 56:25somebody, you went home. Right.
- 56:28And got on your landline or got on AOL?
- 56:31Yeah, if you had you got on made the busy signal happen anyway.
- 56:35So it is like proven as much as I work in this world of social
- 56:43media, it is proven that it is meant to be addicting and have a
- 56:49high, high addictive rate because you're chasing the
- 56:52dopamine. That feeling when you are like
- 57:00when you post something, you go oh that feels good to give it to
- 57:03the world. But then you go back 2 minutes
- 57:05later, not even enough time for like 5 people to see it, but
- 57:10you're like oh did I get it? And then your brand.
- 57:13How many likes did anybody comment?
- 57:15Did anybody like who? How many likes do I have?
- 57:16How many likes do I have? How many likes do I have?
- 57:18Yeah. Yeah.
- 57:19So yeah, no. That's the thing.
- 57:22A lot of people will be like, Oh my God, I got so many likes or
- 57:26I'm in some like there's like an influencer type thing that
- 57:37people are obsessed with, like their numbers.
- 57:40Yeah. Oh no, for sure, for sure it's a
- 57:42thing. Yeah, so I've got news for you.
- 57:45We're definitely from the other side, looking for engagement,
- 57:48not just people spamming your comments, right?
- 57:53Anyway, can you read this one? This one's heartbreaking.
- 57:59Well, I mean, yes and no. So Jr.
- 58:03Tolkien superfan Stephen Colbert is actually slated to Co write a
- 58:09new film in the Lord of the Rings franchise once he's.
- 58:13Done with his show. In me I don't I I.
- 58:15He is a He is a Tolkien superfan.
- 58:19I know, but because you're a fan.
- 58:22I know. I don't know.
- 58:23I mean, Peter Jackson seems to think he's going to be good
- 58:26enough to do it so. We'll see a little bit.
- 58:30We'll see when people touch things that don't.
- 58:33I know it's like just don't. It's so good.
- 58:36Why no? I know we'll, we'll see, we'll
- 58:39see what happens. So there's there is a new Lord
- 58:42of the Rings coming out as like the search for Gollum or
- 58:44something like that. That's coming out next year
- 58:47sometime I think, but this? Isn't Stephen Colbert product?
- 58:51Joe, there's another one that's slated to come out that he's
- 58:53going to be working on so, but he's Co writing so at least he
- 58:56has somebody. Oh, good.
- 58:58OK, so like he didn't like. It's not just Stephen Colbert.
- 59:03It's Stephen Colbert and somebody else.
- 59:04So we'll. I mean, I've read his books, but
- 59:06I don't know. We'll see.
- 59:09I'm I'm cautiously optimistic because if he's a fan of the
- 59:14books and a fan of the movies. This is like there's some fan
- 59:18fiction I don't like. It might work, we'll have to
- 59:22see. Horrible fan fiction, but it's
- 59:24been confirmed. Like he and director Peter
- 59:27Jackson confirmed his involvement in a video that was
- 59:31posted to their socials. So it's a thing.
- 59:33We'll see. Fuck this next thing makes me
- 59:36very happy. Oh wait, I still need to be in
- 59:41the WTF though. So I'd like to thank my peers
- 59:47for bringing this to my attention.
- 59:50And if Marissa watches this later, I feel like she should
- 59:53approach Disney and let them know that she's available and at
- 59:58all cost whatever they want to pay her.
- 1:00:03Because the Internet went crazy as Moana.
- 1:00:09The live action version of First of.
- 1:00:12All There's no fucking reason for it.
- 1:00:14Yeah, and they just released like a one or two like calm down
- 1:00:17bro. Anyway, so take a look with me
- 1:00:25at this. If it switches over, this is.
- 1:00:31Awful. Because the Internet went crazy
- 1:00:35as the premiere of the trailer went live on all of the Disney
- 1:00:42accounts and the Internet said no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 1:00:47Fucking awful. What is this 'cause even like
- 1:00:53just? It's so bad, it's so bad.
- 1:00:59And not only is it like. The text goes wrong.
- 1:01:03It's awful like and not only did they like.
- 1:01:06Has have they met a a Tongan or a a person from the Pacific
- 1:01:11Islands before? Because.
- 1:01:12Obviously never why didn't the rock is a Pacific Islander like
- 1:01:17hello I. Know but why didn't he say
- 1:01:18something that looks. I don't know, I don't know what
- 1:01:20this like weird like side part thing is like.
- 1:01:23And then they did had the audacity to straighten the girl
- 1:01:27who's playing Moana. Like her hair is textured and
- 1:01:30curly and looks pretty much just like the fucking.
- 1:01:32Cartoon. And they straightened it because
- 1:01:35for what reason? 'Cause this is awful.
- 1:01:38This is. Terrible.
- 1:01:39Please write your senator and tell them this is awful.
- 1:01:42And he's like, he said he's wearing like 10 lbs of
- 1:01:44prosthetics. I'm like 10 lbs of prosthetics
- 1:01:46like. Where for?
- 1:01:48What? For what?
- 1:01:52Apparently I'm like why? Like doesn't he already have
- 1:01:54like that? Like I don't, I don't
- 1:01:56understand. I can't find the file but.
- 1:02:00Somebody. Posted.
- 1:02:01It's it's awful. Somebody posted it and in her
- 1:02:06promo photo like her headshot to obviously probably get the part,
- 1:02:11her hair is full. It's very luscious and
- 1:02:14texturized. Curly, it's beautiful and they
- 1:02:18start. Her hair looks like the wig.
- 1:02:22That the rock should have been wearing.
- 1:02:25Right, but even like but then they straightened it and it
- 1:02:27looks like the wig that he. Is wearing.
- 1:02:29Why does Disney feel the need to whitewash?
- 1:02:34Certain things. My question is why does Disney
- 1:02:36feel the need to keep making live action copies that are
- 1:02:40basically framed for five frame? That was just like made like
- 1:02:43five years ago. There's no reason for it.
- 1:02:46Like stop it, stop it. Well, I think it is because they
- 1:02:51haven't been able to come up with anything original.
- 1:02:54Well, there's that. I'm like.
- 1:02:55There are so many like. There are so many stories out
- 1:03:00there that Disney could pick up and do something with if they
- 1:03:02wanted to instead of just it. It's they're carbon copies with
- 1:03:06just people. Like not not like they don't
- 1:03:08even it's just the same. Like you could line up like the
- 1:03:12live action and like the cartoons and they're the exactly
- 1:03:14the fucking same. And I'm like I.
- 1:03:15Wouldn't even mind if they changed the live action a little
- 1:03:20bit. Something but I'm I've basically
- 1:03:24stopped watching the live actions 'cause I have no desire.
- 1:03:27I really don't care. I'm like, I mean.
- 1:03:29This went straight to the streaming service Disney.
- 1:03:31I didn't even like Moana originally.
- 1:03:34I thought that it was not great. I didn't like the songs.
- 1:03:39I thought that most of them were awful.
- 1:03:41I was like what the fuck is this?
- 1:03:43Is this one of the? What's his name?
- 1:03:46Lin Manuel, Yeah, he wrote it. I'm like, some of these songs
- 1:03:52are fucking terrible. Like this is You're Welcome is
- 1:03:54probably the worst song on the planet.
- 1:03:55It is so stupid. I'm like, this is awful.
- 1:03:57People love it. People love it.
- 1:03:59I'm gonna hate it. I don't care.
- 1:04:00I'm it's categorically bad. Like they just I, I don't know.
- 1:04:06I think it's, I think it's stupid and I don't, I, I'm, I've
- 1:04:10given up on pretty much all the live actions at this point.
- 1:04:12I'm just like whatever. So if you're wearing a wig, I
- 1:04:14would like to but you know that Sassy De Morne is along with
- 1:04:27Chris, Inez, Onyx have made me aware of all these people
- 1:04:31wearing horrible wigs. I need y'all to stop.
- 1:04:38As a person that wears wigs made by Marissa, I have not had the
- 1:04:44opportunity to. Look, if you are in Hollywood
- 1:04:49and you have the budget for this shit, why are you putting your
- 1:04:52people in shitty wigs like that's?
- 1:04:55Just and that was what one of the like post said, it said,
- 1:04:59Disney, you have all this money, right?
- 1:05:03Of course, Tyler Perry gets drawn into this because in
- 1:05:06classically in his films the hair is really not that good
- 1:05:10and. No, they're.
- 1:05:13All like Amazon. Also my plea for Disney and for
- 1:05:16all these studios is like hire drag Queens to do the hair
- 1:05:21seriously. Because we, I don't think that
- 1:05:27anybody that's a drag queen or a drag king, 'cause there are drag
- 1:05:32kings that do their own hair would have put the rock in that.
- 1:05:38No. They would have looked at the
- 1:05:39picture and been like, let me do some research because, you know,
- 1:05:43like the people of the islands have very tight curls and very.
- 1:05:49It's not like it's it. Should look like that.
- 1:05:51Hair is like taking over his shoulders.
- 1:05:54Right, it's awful. It's just in fact, they should
- 1:05:57have made it bigger than him. It looks like Oh fuck in the in
- 1:06:02the Barbie movie. What the fuck is oh John Cena?
- 1:06:05Yes. But that was meant to be funny.
- 1:06:08I know. Meant to be that's.
- 1:06:10What it looks like, though, that's like that's that it's
- 1:06:13totally given like John Cena mermaid Barbie mermaid can like
- 1:06:17awful. It's awful.
- 1:06:18It's fucky. It's.
- 1:06:19Awful. And I'm so sorry if you're one
- 1:06:21of those hair and makeup people. I'm so sorry.
- 1:06:25Do better. But do better I.
- 1:06:27Was not it? You should have said something
- 1:06:29to Disney like, hey, can we get a like tight spiral, a tight
- 1:06:35spiral for this and. You drop the ball, I blame you.
- 1:06:39And if you're a person of color? Right then, shame, shame, shame.
- 1:06:47Girl now. Anyway.
- 1:06:50On to better news which made me smile.
- 1:06:52From I know I love this so much. I was like, yeah.
- 1:06:55OK, so while we were gone, you guys, the Democrats flipped the
- 1:07:00Republican held of Florida State House in the district that
- 1:07:07includes dump trucks, Mar a Lago.
- 1:07:13Yep, not only now is it represented by a Democrat, but
- 1:07:17she's a woman. Dun Dun, Dun A.
- 1:07:24Woman Democrat now is representing the district that
- 1:07:29Trump resides in. And I love.
- 1:07:32This so much. I have not.
- 1:07:33I have not, but this makes me so happy.
- 1:07:37This makes the change warm as my little Harry on.
- 1:07:40Top. I love it.
- 1:07:41And I love that Florida has now flipped, what, 2-3 districts?
- 1:07:46Something like 2 districts? That's pretty big.
- 1:07:49That's pretty big that there's a.
- 1:07:52Penny. Like there's a potential now
- 1:07:55that DeSantis may find himself unemployed.
- 1:08:00Girl, keep it up. Girl, keep it.
- 1:08:02Just Sam, keep it up, right? What do I need to do to fund
- 1:08:06her? Does she need help?
- 1:08:08Right. She need a secretary, Something
- 1:08:11I don't know. I will be there for you.
- 1:08:14I live in Arizona, but I'll help you in Florida.
- 1:08:20Seriously. This is close to home, did you
- 1:08:26add it? I didn't.
- 1:08:28I couldn't find it. Oh let me find.
- 1:08:34Oh boy this next one. Also y'all and these people
- 1:08:44posting their photos of what they look like outside of drag?
- 1:08:48I'm like wow, wow, wow. Can I just share the screen?
- 1:08:57I don't what are you doing? Oh my God, enough with the pop
- 1:09:06ups. Jesus.
- 1:09:09OK, OK, hold on, sorry. I'm gonna save the photo on my
- 1:09:13desktop 'cause that was not working.
- 1:09:17That's not the ticket. I'm going to take one of these
- 1:09:23wig out photos. Enjoy this while I switch the
- 1:09:29photo. Great, thanks.
- 1:09:33I mean at least the. Tattoos were kind of accurate.
- 1:09:37Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out where the 10 lbs of
- 1:09:39prosthetics come from. It must have been like he's
- 1:09:41wearing some. Sort of on top of the muscle
- 1:09:43thing. Right on top of the muscle that
- 1:09:45he already has, which is. I mean, I thought that would
- 1:09:48have been fine. Interesting.
- 1:09:50Unless they needed to make him bigger I guess.
- 1:09:53That was weird anyway. OK, Can I move us?
- 1:09:59There we go. No, over here, that's better.
- 1:10:09So Phoenix in particular, be on the lookout for one of our own.
- 1:10:17This is happening way too often for my comfort level.
- 1:10:21And this one is close to home for me because this is like a
- 1:10:27one in 10 youth that grew up to be an adult and I haven't heard
- 1:10:34from them in a while. And when I was crowned in 2011
- 1:10:45for Miss Gay Supernova US of a newcomer, they were like one of
- 1:10:53those people that was like, you know, keep going.
- 1:10:56We'll like seeing you out there, you know, that kind of thing.
- 1:11:02And over the years, I may, I don't know, I feel like you lose
- 1:11:09touch with people over the years, but I just feel like this
- 1:11:14is like, so as soon as this started circulating and his
- 1:11:20sister is looking for him or them, excuse me, It just no
- 1:11:29tingle. Tingle in the heart is just too
- 1:11:32much, too much. And I hope that they're safe.
- 1:11:35I hope that they can get to a phone and let us know that
- 1:11:41they're OK. It's just too much for my
- 1:11:46comfort level at this moment that this keeps happening in our
- 1:11:50community. It's it's.
- 1:11:52Becoming not a coincidence anymore like it's there's
- 1:11:55something else that's. Happening, yes.
- 1:11:59So if you have seen them, please call the number there.
- 1:12:02It's 928-988-3953. So I am hoping for the best.

- 1:12:24please and if you see them if. Anybody has any information?
- 1:12:29Please give the number a call, it's important.
- 1:12:34OK. Thank you.
- 1:12:40Another I hate to pile the the news like this, but This is why
- 1:12:51I say the world is not looking out for us.
- 1:12:59We need to look out for each other.
- 1:13:00As much as we bitch and moan at each other, We we do.
- 1:13:06I'm not very good at saying her name, so I'm gonna ask you to
- 1:13:10say her name. I think it's Chael.
- 1:13:14I think it's Chael. OK.
- 1:13:17I don't, I don't know her. So I'm not entirely like I'm, I
- 1:13:21don't think I've ever heard her like heard her name.
- 1:13:24Spoken so Black trans activist and drag performer Chael.
- 1:13:30If I've said the name wrong, it's no disrespect.
- 1:13:33I don't want to disrespect Chael Diamond Sanchez McRae was killed
- 1:13:41in Virginia. She's won numerous pageants over
- 1:13:48the years. And I think that's where like
- 1:13:49this spreads so fast and so hard is because she's known and but
- 1:13:58it made me think, who are the ones that we don't know?
- 1:14:02Too many to name like there's that and that's that's the
- 1:14:06problem still. I believe the investigation is
- 1:14:11still going on, but this is not OK.
- 1:14:16Like as the news continues to grow and this hatred cloud
- 1:14:22continues to grow, I here we are arguing over pageants we're
- 1:14:31arguing over. Right.
- 1:14:33This, that and the other. But somebody that has one
- 1:14:36numerous pageants is no longer here, right?
- 1:14:41So at the end of the day, as much as the shit I was throwing
- 1:14:46at the beginning of the episode, does it really matter if you're
- 1:14:50not here and somebody does injustice to you, right?
- 1:14:56That's out the window. I rather you here.
- 1:14:58I don't care what you comment on.
- 1:15:01Right. So it's just getting too, too
- 1:15:09real for me at this. I mean it's it's it's I mean,
- 1:15:13and I mean the fact of it, I. Mean it's been happening, it's
- 1:15:16been happening. But now it's becoming so loud,
- 1:15:21so loud, yeah. So stick with each other.
- 1:15:31Don't go anywhere alone. I just can't.
- 1:15:37I I'm not saying that's what happened to her, but I'm just
- 1:15:40saying like I. Mean that's right now.
- 1:15:43I mean, it's a good idea to use the buddy system regardless,
- 1:15:46like it's as often as you can. Technology, as we have, makes
- 1:15:51your buddy has. Right.
- 1:15:53If somebody has your location, something you know.
- 1:15:56If you're, you don't have. To share your location 24/7, but
- 1:15:59you know, if you're going somewhere, you're doing
- 1:16:00something and you're gonna be on your.
- 1:16:02Own or whatever, OK. Right.
- 1:16:05Like, we don't care. Nobody gives a shit like, but
- 1:16:08make sure somebody knows where you are, where you're going.
- 1:16:11I mean, I've had people that are like, I'm not gonna give names
- 1:16:17'cause I feel like they trust me enough to do these things that
- 1:16:23like maybe they're drunk at the bar, right?
- 1:16:27They need somebody to like come pick them up.
- 1:16:29Or I mean, I can't pick them up. They and most people know that,
- 1:16:33but you know, if I can call somebody for you.
- 1:16:38Right. And like even like when we're
- 1:16:41doing like like trivia or or bingo or whatever, like I always
- 1:16:44tell Felicia, let me know when you get home.
- 1:16:46Like is at least I like, I know where you're going, like where
- 1:16:50you're going and where you're coming from.
- 1:16:52So, you know, like I'm like, I just, I just let me know when
- 1:16:54you get home, even if I'm already asleep, like just, I
- 1:16:59know. And then I get a text in the
- 1:17:01morning. Are you alive?
- 1:17:04Yes, I'm alive, thankfully. But somebody else, their
- 1:17:08parents, their mother, their father, their significant others
- 1:17:13looking for them. So didn't mean to end on
- 1:17:18heaviness, but what? Have we got coming up?
