He 59 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: was so confused, and he's obviously a straightman, so he 60 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: is a lot. He has a lot of us to 61 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: figure out, but he's just very confused about like how 62 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: we are always working and doing stuff I'm like, well, 63 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: it's kind of what the thing is, you know, right. 64 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: I also don't want to give away all your secrets, 65 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: but we were doing when we were doing um our show, 66 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: you'd be like, well I was up since excuse me 67 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: that was?

So like I go into any new project 288 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 1: I do assuming that these people know nothing about how 289 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: to light a drag queen.

So I 394 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: give myself like three hours and it takes me maybe 395 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: an hour every time. But I will still give myself 396 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: three hours because I have a psycho an hour and 397 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: a half.

Yeah, but are great. It's a great 400 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: number to spend time on getting ready though, because something 401 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: always stuff or you always forget something, even when somebody's 402 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: helping you, you always forget something, like and then a 403 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: nail falls off, Like y'all know, when the nail comes off, 404 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 1: it's like the world stopped. You have to find like 405 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: that pinky nail, you know. I mean, by the end 406 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: of the performance. I had two nails left. About ninety 407 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: seconds they leapt from my fingernails.

Quite frankly, I don't understand 415 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: how y'all did all that every week either, because you 416 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: guys were more in drag than we were. Like I 417 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: was like, like, I was like they were like in serious, 418 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: like serious drag.

Well, they also tried to um fix it right, 446 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: but before he went on. He was the first one right, 447 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: and they said, oh, we could just nail it in 448 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: and hammer it. I'm not kidding.
