- 0:18Big A radio show on. let's get this going what's
- 0:27up guys this is Hoppy Hour I am your host Ryan
- 0:29Hoppy and on the phone line very excited we have
- 0:33Esme Russell 50 year drag queen performer and
- 0:38great award winning radio host and also The host
- 0:42of the Big Gay Radio Show is Chris Gorman, and
- 0:44they are both on Hoppy Hour with Ryan Hoppy.
- 0:47This is where the Big Gay Radio Show mixes with
- 0:49Hoppy Hour. And we're here to defend trans rights
- 0:52and everything LGBTQ+. What's up, guys? Hello.
- 0:58It's great to be here. So, describe to me, so
- 1:02I talked about it last week, I saw the news headline,
- 1:04but what are they trying to do with drag shows
- 1:07right now? Because I'm the guy... I have a lesbian
- 1:10aunt, and also I always attract bisexual girls
- 1:13for some reason. So I'm always around the gay
- 1:17community, and I've always been an ally. And
- 1:20I'm getting to a point where I'm sick and tired
- 1:22of people discriminating against it. So do you
- 1:25know what's going on with that? So Esme, as a
- 1:28drag performer, I think she would be able to
- 1:31explain a little bit more. But as far as I understand,
- 1:35it's not really that big of a... change apart
- 1:40from that these individuals are not going to
- 1:44be able to perform in front of children. Obviously,
- 1:46it's not an outright blanket drag ban, right,
- 1:49Esme? It's not a drag ban, per se, though they're
- 1:52kind of making it. The law is written so oddly
- 1:58that you don't really know how they're going
- 2:00to enforce it. But we know that they don't want
- 2:03entertainers such as myself. to do anything sexually
- 2:07explicit or sexy in front of children. And listen,
- 2:11we don't want to anyway. Well, most of them weren't
- 2:13even doing it either. A lot of the times, most
- 2:16drag performances, especially when they came
- 2:18in front of children, were not risque. And Esme
- 2:22actually performed at Hamburger Mary's for years.
- 2:25Oh, my goodness. She performed for children.
- 2:28That's where I think I've seen you. Because 2016,
- 2:31after the Ybor Night Parade, I was with 1 -2
- 2:34-5 The Bond. And that was the best burger I ever
- 2:37had. It was a great time. Yeah. So I worked for
- 2:41Hamburger Mary's for nine years. Nice. So, yeah,
- 2:44it was great. I loved it. We had very strict
- 2:46rules at Hamburger Mary's. You know, I was the...
- 2:49show director and the hostess for the brunch
- 2:51show. I did work in the evening shows as well,
- 2:53but the brunch show, we had a lot of children
- 2:55that would come to see the shows with their families.
- 2:57Children never come alone. They always come with
- 2:59their parents. This idea that children are coming
- 3:01into Hamburger Mary's or any other clubs. By
- 3:03the way, you can't come into a regular club with
- 3:06children because there's alcohol. So if you're
- 3:10a drag queen that works in a bar, this is not
- 3:12going to affect you. This is just for showgirls
- 3:14that work in environments that have brunches
- 3:17or daytime venues where children do come. So
- 3:21now they're policing parents. They're making
- 3:23a decision for parents because if a child is
- 3:25there watching the show, that was a parent's
- 3:27decision. The child didn't decide to go see the
- 3:31drag show. It was some mom and dad or some mom
- 3:33or some dad alone that said, you know what? Let's
- 3:36go see a drag show today. But our rules were
- 3:39very strict. We couldn't do any profanity on
- 3:41the microphone. We couldn't do any cleavage or
- 3:45breast showing of any type. We couldn't do any
- 3:48butt shots, you know, so no, you know, nothing,
- 3:51nothing that was, couldn't touch my private parts.
- 3:54Like I couldn't accidentally grab my boobs and
- 3:57shake them. I couldn't do that. I had to be very,
- 4:00very specifically careful because we were targeting
- 4:03a, what is a general, a G audience, right? G
- 4:06audience. So these laws are just there. I don't
- 4:10like to use the word transphobic. I try to say
- 4:13this all the time. These people, you know, the
- 4:15word phobic means to be afraid. It comes from
- 4:18phobos, the Greek word, to be terrorized. They're
- 4:22not terrorized by drag queens. They're not homophobic
- 4:25either. They're not terrorized by gay people.
- 4:28They're just bad people. Do you think there's
- 4:32any chance that a lot of the... And I'm not even
- 4:35trying to get political, but do you feel like
- 4:37a lot of times the people that are so against
- 4:39gay rights and so against trans rights, I think
- 4:42not 100 % of the time, but I think a lot of times
- 4:46they're probably either by or in the closet.
- 4:50And I've always kind of felt like they might
- 4:52have a little bit of jealousy that people that
- 4:55are out and living their gay life are happy.
- 4:59Do you like that idea at all? Well, just look
- 5:00over at Lindsey Graham. The way that he went
- 5:03his entire life attacking gay people, but he
- 5:05was gayer than a bag of penises he hid in the
- 5:08closet. He did. He lived. No, he lived in the
- 5:11closet. He said he did. I've just never heard
- 5:13that. That's amazing. You can be gayer than a
- 5:16bag of peanuts. And a thing, too. Yeah. Yeah,
- 5:19it's nothing gayer than a bag of penises. Peanuts,
- 5:23penises. Well, peanuts and penises, that's not
- 5:25a good word together. If your penis is a peanut,
- 5:28you're in trouble. I won't go there, but I'm
- 5:32just saying. But yeah, so yeah, there's a direct,
- 5:36I believe there is a direct correlation. between
- 5:39the word homophobia and homosexuality. What is
- 5:43it? I think they're brothers. I think they are.
- 5:47I think they are brothers. And I think when you
- 5:49realize, because I've met many straight men throughout
- 5:53my life who are unaffected by gay people being
- 5:56together. It's like, big deal, they're gay, so
- 5:59what? As long as it doesn't bother me, I'm good.
- 6:02As long as they don't approach me, I'm good.
- 6:04You know what I'm saying? So I get it. So this,
- 6:06listen, there's no, is this a PG show? Yeah,
- 6:10you can honestly, Esme, say whatever the fuck
- 6:13you want. Go ahead. Okay, so here's what I was
- 6:15going to say. They're not homophobic and they're
- 6:18not transphobic. They're just assholes. No, I'm
- 6:22being honest. I know, I know. I don't want any
- 6:25drag queens in the bathroom with my wife. Listen,
- 6:28I've been in the bathroom, in the ladies' room
- 6:31with your wife since I was 14 years old. I'm
- 6:3465 years old now. Okay, do you know how many
- 6:37women I've seen in a restroom before in my life?
- 6:40At Disney, at theme parks, at restaurants, at
- 6:45the mall, at Walmart, at the grocery. Whenever
- 6:47I go to the restroom, there are women there.
- 6:49What am I supposed to do? I can't go to the men's
- 6:51room. So you're just going to have to accept
- 6:53it. And the reason it's never been a problem
- 6:56is because these people think they know. They
- 6:58don't know because I'm there. I've washed my
- 7:01hands next to another woman who's talking about,
- 7:03do you have an extra tampon? Well, no, actually,
- 7:06I don't. I don't. But, you know, that's what
- 7:10we're dealing with. We're dealing with people
- 7:11that are very ignorant about people like me.
- 7:14Very ignorant. And the thing, too, is like. I
- 7:18don't know. I just think a lot of times it's
- 7:20funny how people will sexualize drag shows and
- 7:23sexualize pride and then these same people, conservatives,
- 7:27a lot of times will be going to strip clubs or
- 7:30cheating on their wife or having sex with the
- 7:33intern. You've got Lauren Boebert who's over
- 7:38here groping a man in a theater. She's not married
- 7:41to, not the man she's married to. And then her
- 7:44own son has been now arrested on child sexual
- 7:48exploitation charges. Unbelievable, dude. So
- 7:51it's the pot calling the kettle black. So listen,
- 7:54I talked about this in our show today on the
- 7:56air, on our live show. I said that, you know,
- 7:59Whoopi Goldberg, Eddie Murphy, a lot of these
- 8:02comics, they have very filthy stand -up acts.
- 8:06There was another, there's other comics as well.
- 8:08Kevin Hart. Yes. A lot of them. If you go to
- 8:10their comedy, their comedy is really, there's
- 8:13a lot of profanity and a lot of sexual talk.
- 8:16And then they make movies for Disney. You can
- 8:19be two things at the same time. Thank you. You
- 8:23can do that. This is called, in my industry,
- 8:26it's called know your audience. If I see children
- 8:30in the crowd, of course I'm not going to show
- 8:33my boobs. Of course not. What is wrong with you?
- 8:38I mean, seriously. I mean, if I do do it, I should
- 8:42be arrested. Yeah, exactly. There's children
- 8:44in the audience. If they book me at Disney and
- 8:47they say, we want you in this Disney production,
- 8:49of course I'm going to be as feminine and as
- 8:52classy as I can possibly be to fit into that
- 8:55standard. And, you know, Whoopi does it all the
- 8:58time. Whoopi and all of these comics that I'm
- 9:01talking about have, you know, what I call more
- 9:04provocative stand -up acts. But in their, you
- 9:09know, she's on The View every day. Whoopi cusses
- 9:12like a sailor in private. I can imagine. Never
- 9:17guesses on The View. She knows her audience.
- 9:20She knows who's paying her. And this is the same
- 9:23thing with a drag queen. This idea that drag
- 9:25queens cannot control themselves if they see
- 9:28children is totally manufactured. It's totally
- 9:32manufactured. I'll never forget. In seventh grade,
- 9:35my mom, we grew up Catholic, but now my mom's
- 9:39pro LGBTQ+. It was a beautiful moment about two
- 9:42years ago. She said, love is love. But growing
- 9:44up, I had an aunt that was lesbian. And I asked
- 9:48her, my mom told me in seventh grade, thinking
- 9:51it was going to be a big reaction. And I've always
- 9:53just been like, okay, it's still in my hand.
- 9:55Like, I just don't understand. I think a lot
- 9:58of it's jealousy because they might be in the
- 10:00closet or they're just full on bullies. I've
- 10:02just never understood why anybody cares. As long
- 10:07as you're not hurting animals or kids, why anybody
- 10:09would care about if someone's gay? It's crazy
- 10:11to me. Well, you know, again, they're not homophobic.
- 10:15They're not transphobic. Phobic, again, is a
- 10:18phobia means to be afraid. They're not afraid
- 10:20of us. They're just assholes. And I'm just being
- 10:22honest with you. They really are exactly that.
- 10:25And over the course of my life, I've met a lot
- 10:28of assholes, a lot of people that enjoy, even
- 10:31as a kid, they enjoyed making my life as difficult
- 10:34and as complicated as possible. And it's still
- 10:37going on. The only problem is that now I'm older
- 10:39and I don't give a shit. I don't care what people
- 10:41think anymore. You know, I'm on the radio every
- 10:43day talking about being trans. Once you talk
- 10:45about something and you put it out there, it
- 10:47just doesn't matter. You take the power away
- 10:48from it. I'm the same way with my bipolar and
- 10:51ADHD. Like I have moody, moody days and I'm open
- 10:55about it. And people are like, why do you talk
- 10:57about taking meds? I'm like, because then you
- 10:59have no power over me. So it's a little similar.
- 11:02You're taking the stigma away from it. Because
- 11:05a lot of people are like that. Chris and I are
- 11:08both ADHD. I know I have it really bad. I look
- 11:16at Chris for some days and he's literally moving
- 11:19all over the place. Like he's totally manic.
- 11:22And I do the same thing. I watch myself on video.
- 11:24We've been videoing our shows. And I watch myself.
- 11:27God, I move around a lot. I can't sit still.
- 11:31I touch my face. I touch my hair. I touch my
- 11:33chest. I'm like, oh my God. You know, I'm like
- 11:36moving and moving. It's part of it. We're just
- 11:39very wired up all the time. So when I'm not moving,
- 11:42everybody says, are you okay? Is something wrong?
- 11:44Because I'm very high energy, high strung. So,
- 11:48but yeah. It's not that big of a deal to be trans
- 11:53to me. I've been trans my whole life. You know,
- 11:55I was trans before. Everybody made it like really
- 11:59popular where now people talk about it. You know,
- 12:01when I came out as trans back in the 76, you
- 12:04know, I was just a kid and nobody talked about
- 12:07it. Nobody knew what it was. Nobody understood
- 12:08it. We didn't even have a name for it. Transgender
- 12:11is a modern word. Well, weren't you the first
- 12:13student to go to school as a trans individual
- 12:16in this area? Here in Hillsborough County, I
- 12:18was the first one. I love it. Yeah, and you know,
- 12:23it's really weird about it. Back in those days,
- 12:24they didn't know what to do with me. They didn't
- 12:26know what to send me to night school. What are
- 12:28we going to do with this person? You know, because
- 12:30I was so, I don't know if I was stupid or brave.
- 12:33I'm still not sure. Some days I think that was
- 12:36really stupid. Maybe both. Maybe a little bit
- 12:41of both, right? I was so brave to just, but I
- 12:44knew this. I knew that I could not live my life,
- 12:48my whole life. pretending something that I did
- 12:51not feel. When did you realize? I just could
- 12:53not do that. For both of you, Chris, when did
- 12:57you realize you were gay? And then Esme, when
- 13:00did you realize you were trans? Oh, I always
- 13:03thought that. So I was told a lot when I was
- 13:06growing up that I had to like girls. Like, that's
- 13:09just the way that it is. You like girls. But
- 13:12the entire time that I was being told that I
- 13:15have to like girls, I was looking at guys. That's
- 13:18that's that's pretty good. Girls are annoying,
- 13:21bro. Well, I I distinctly remember, you know,
- 13:28making out with with both girls and boys when
- 13:31I was like 10, 11 years old. Yeah. You know,
- 13:34it was just the way that it was for just what
- 13:36felt right. And I'm curious. I don't think I've
- 13:40actually had this discussion with you as may.
- 13:42I want to know your answer on this one. So, you
- 13:45know, as a little kid, very little. four or five
- 13:48years old i was obviously very effeminate um
- 13:51and so you know little boys especially in a cuban
- 13:54family are not supposed to be feminine so i got
- 13:57told constantly act like a boy don't embarrass
- 13:59us talk talk like a man you know there's no talking
- 14:01like a man this is just the way i found so uh
- 14:04but uh it's really weird because i didn't really
- 14:07know that i was trans I thought I was gay at
- 14:10one point, you know, like maybe like around seven
- 14:12or eight years old. I heard about gay people.
- 14:14So I thought, well, maybe that's what I'm I'm
- 14:15gay, whatever that meant, because I didn't really
- 14:17understand the sexual part of it. I just knew
- 14:19I liked boys, but I didn't know about the sex.
- 14:22I didn't know we were supposed to have sex. That
- 14:23came later, like after I grew up. But I think
- 14:27that I was probably around 12 or 13 when I was
- 14:30I know this is going to sound crazy. I was watching.
- 14:34A Wonder Woman, and I remember telling my mom,
- 14:36I wish I looked like that. Oh, wow. What's crazy
- 14:40is that Linda Carter and I share very similar
- 14:43measurements. Mine were manufactured in a doctor's
- 14:48office, and hers are natural, but still, I'm
- 14:51very curvaceous, extremely so. So I think to
- 14:55myself, wow, I was really young that I wanted
- 14:58to be. And I remember the only drag queens I
- 15:00ever saw was Bugs Bunny. That was like the only
- 15:04drag. Like I saw Bugs Bunny getting dragged.
- 15:06And I think maybe a boy can dress up like a girl,
- 15:08you know, so that I started thinking about it.
- 15:11But by age 14, 15, I was ready to go. I was ready
- 15:14to put on women's clothes. And I did. My dad
- 15:16told me not in this house. And I did it anyway.
- 15:19Nice. I'm glad you rebelled. Good job. I did.
- 15:21I did. I did it anyway. My poor father. You know,
- 15:24my father was my biggest ally. It took him about
- 15:26three months. He was he was ready to go. He really,
- 15:29really supported me. God rest his soul in glory.
- 15:32He died at 100 years old. Oh, nice. He loved
- 15:34me unconditionally and saw me and recognized
- 15:37me as his daughter. He really did. How do you
- 15:40think, no, so he was a great dad. What was your
- 15:44favorite memory of him? Oh, my God. Well, probably
- 15:47my favorite memory of him is he would take me
- 15:52to buy toys. Any toy that I wanted, he would
- 15:55take me to buy it. Nice. So I had a great collection
- 15:58of, Vintage. I still do have a great collection
- 16:01of vintage toys that he bought me. I was a big
- 16:03toy kid. I really liked toys a lot. But I have
- 16:07great memories of my dad. My dad never beat me,
- 16:09never whooped me for being feminine. He just
- 16:12never did. My mom was a disciplinarian in the
- 16:15house. But back in those days, again, there was
- 16:18no trans representation whatsoever. There was
- 16:21no RuPaul drag race. My idea of a drag queen
- 16:25was Flip Wilson. Remember Flip Wilson's show?
- 16:27Yes. Back in the 70s. I've heard of it. Yeah,
- 16:30Flip Wilson was a big, you know, but it was all
- 16:33good in comedy. Drag was always comical. It was
- 16:36not serious. Like what I do is very serious.
- 16:38When you see me on stage, I'm not funny at all.
- 16:40Yeah. You know, but, you know, back in those
- 16:43days, it was all comical. But it's just some
- 16:45boys just feel like girls for whatever. fucking
- 16:50reason. I don't know why. And I can't stand when
- 16:53people ask me, why do you feel like that? I don't
- 16:56know. Yes, I got you. If I could explain it,
- 16:59if I could explain it, then I would, then I could
- 17:02define it and I could have avoided it. I avoided
- 17:06all the suffering and the things that I went
- 17:09through throughout the course of my life because
- 17:11I've lived this way. I would have done everything
- 17:14to avoid it. It is what it is. I accepted myself
- 17:19a long time ago. Yes, that's beautiful. I'm glad
- 17:21you were able to do that, accept who you are.
- 17:23How often do you guys get DMs from people either
- 17:27saying how happy you are or they are that you're
- 17:30representing the LGBTQ plus community? Or how
- 17:33often do you guys get advice from anybody in
- 17:36the DMs? If you do. So I'm the one who's usually
- 17:40in charge of all the social media stuff. So I'm
- 17:43kind of the one who fields all that stuff. And
- 17:45honestly, it's a lot. It's a lot in both aspects.
- 17:51You get people who are really supportive and
- 17:53want to see you succeed. One of the biggest things
- 17:56was people telling us that they wanted to have
- 17:59cameras. That was one of the biggest unsolicited
- 18:02advice that we got the entirety of the time that
- 18:04we were on air. And now we do. But the main thing,
- 18:08that happened in terms of the exact opposite
- 18:11way was when we were on the midnight to 3 a .m
- 18:13show And Esme, just being the amazing trans person
- 18:17that she is, had a very big fan. She would actually
- 18:21call about 80 times a show. Oh, wow. And she
- 18:25would say as much heinous stuff as possible to
- 18:29try and get under Esme's skin. Meanwhile, Esme,
- 18:32she's lived as a woman for 50 years. She's 65
- 18:35years old. You can't say anything to her that'll
- 18:38get her aggravated. I thought it was hilarious.
- 18:40Esme. She called me a woman skinner, whatever
- 18:43that means. I thought you were 45. You look amazing.
- 18:47Yeah, I'm 65. I just turned 65 this year. Damn,
- 18:50you look so good. I feel really good. And I'll
- 18:53tell you, I got the energy, man. I'm the energizer,
- 18:56buddy. I got a lot of energy. I literally wake
- 18:58up and I'm like ready to go. Like, you know,
- 19:00some people have to work themselves up. I'm like,
- 19:02no. But I'm just like my dad. So much like my
- 19:05dad. My dad was in his 80s and 90s and he had
- 19:08the energy of a 40 -year -old. He was like great.
- 19:11Yeah. I feel great. I feel really, really good.
- 19:14I've lost 23 pounds. I'm losing more, but I've
- 19:18lost 23 pounds, and that weight loss has really
- 19:19helped me a lot. Now, for everybody listening,

- 19:28have? Oh, well, we've got we've got a ton. I
- 19:32keep forgetting. So we've got luckily they actually
- 19:36WMNF asked us to do a video. So I actually have
- 19:39a list right here. So we're nominated under best
- 19:41radio show. Both myself and Esme are nominated
- 19:44under best radio personality. So you have to
- 19:46choose one under best TV host slash news person.
- 19:52The show is best under best morning TV show.
- 19:55As well as I got nominated for Best Community
- 19:58Organizer and Best Columnist. And our bingo,
- 20:02which helps support the show, WMNF's Big Gay
- 20:05Bingo was also nominated. Well, before I let
- 20:08you guys go, promote yourself. Say what you got
- 20:11to say. You guys have the floor. Oh, well, Esme,
- 20:15I'm going to go ahead and take this moment to
- 20:18say how much I love you, Esme, and how grateful
- 20:22I am that I get to host a show alongside such
- 20:26an amazing person. And I will always highlight
- 20:29the fact that Esme Russell is truly a legend
- 20:32in this area. She's the first lady of Gabor,
- 20:35and she is just absolutely amazing. Yeah, thank
- 20:40you so much, Chris. I really appreciate that.
- 20:42We have a great working relationship here, and
- 20:45it's really good. We do fight. We do fight. A
- 20:48lot of times. Especially about topics, or I get
- 20:52distracted. But we have a good show. It's a good
- 20:57family environment. And then our rotating hosts
- 20:59are also very good. Brian, Joanna, Vin. And then
- 21:04we also have Claire. Claire. And Sean Kelly.
- 21:07I'm behind the scenes. So, you know, we do have
- 21:10a really good team here of people that help us
- 21:13every week to keep the show running good. So
- 21:16we're very blessed. I'm very grateful for everybody.
- 21:19And, you know, the nominations are great, but
- 21:21it's really weird. I used to watch entertainers,
- 21:26like famous people would get nominated for Academy
- 21:28Awards, and they'd go, well, I was just making
- 21:30a movie. I wasn't really trying to win an Academy
- 21:32Award. And that's how I feel about this. I'm
- 21:34just doing my radio gig. You know what I'm saying?
- 21:36I'm not thinking, well, if I do, if I say this,
- 21:39I'll get, I'll get attention for it. You know,
- 21:41I was watching our video from last week and I'm
- 21:43laughing at how funny I am when I'm being serious.
- 21:48I'm just being serious. And it sounds funny when
- 21:51I, when I watched myself say it, I went, oh my
- 21:53God, that sounded so funny, but I wasn't being
- 21:55funny at the time. So, you know, we're just trying
- 21:57to do our thing and whatever happens happens.
- 22:00And we're kind of piggybacking on, you know,
- 22:02why we do the show. And talking on the previous
- 22:05topic, we used to also get letters from inmates
- 22:10all over the seven county area where we broadcasted.
- 22:14And they would they would tell how much they
- 22:17feel like they actually have a connection to
- 22:19the community. And that's why we do it. We don't
- 22:22do it for a piece of paper. We do it because
- 22:25it's needed. The conversations are needed. I
- 22:28really wanted to normalize trans people as best
- 22:30I could while I was on the air. That's always
- 22:32been my goal. To just see that we're not hatched.
- 22:35You know, that I'm not some weirdo out there,
- 22:37you know, trying to sneak into women's. When
- 22:39I go in the bathroom, I'm going in there to pee.
- 22:41I don't care what your wife looks like. I really
- 22:43don't. You know, I'm just telling you, I'm not
- 22:45interested in none of that. You know, as I say
- 22:48all the time in my stand -up act in my show,
- 22:51I ain't had pussy since pussy had me. So, you
- 22:54know, there is no need. There's absolutely no
- 22:57need for you to worry about your wife or your
- 22:59girlfriend or your children or whatever. I'm
- 23:02not interested in. I'm not interested in none
- 23:04of that. I like men. Thank you for leaving. Thank
- 23:07you for leaving the pussy for me. Thank you.
- 23:13So, yeah, you know, I just, but I did want to
- 23:15normalize trans people as much as you know, that
- 23:17we have families and we have brothers and sisters
- 23:19and we have struggles that, you know, we go to
- 23:21the grocery store. We, you know, I got to go
- 23:23to Walmart when I get out of here. I got to go
- 23:24to the bank. All the normal stuff everybody does.
- 23:27I'm doing the same thing. Trans people are not
- 23:29some weirdo trying to dress up. I'm not trying
- 23:32to act like anybody. If you walk up and ask me,
- 23:35are you transgender? Are you a guy? I'll go,
- 23:37yeah, I am. What? I'm not one of those people
- 23:40trying to hide it. I don't care that you know.
- 23:42It doesn't bother me at all. I'm not trying to
- 23:45keep it a secret. If I blend in, great. But if
- 23:47I don't, that's okay as well. At this stage in
- 23:50the game, I just don't care. It doesn't matter
- 23:53to me. Well, that's why you guys are legends.
- 23:56You guys are the goats of the area. And it's
- 23:58been a lot of fun having you on the show. And
- 24:01if you ever need anything promoted on the show,
- 24:04let me know. I am a text away. We appreciate
- 24:07that. Thanks for the time. Thank you so much
- 24:09for having us. Thank you, Esme. And thank you,
- 24:11Chris Gorman from the Big Gay Radio Show. Thank
- 24:14you, guys. Bye -bye. Have a good one. Bye, guys.
