You remember when 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.440 you were like, wait a second, is the most famous 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:02.240 drag queen in this loud ass black old man from Atlanta? Yeah? 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:09.840 And then you go, oh, that's also Tyler Perry? 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:10.960 Which one? 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.400 Which one? Which old loud blackness? Is it from Atlanta? 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.760 Am I talking about? You know what Tyler Perry told me? 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.800 He said, Jay, It's like God told me I put 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.680 on that dress and make me some money. 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:31.160 Oh well, I'm really excited that you're here. And one 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.240 of the reasons that I really love you? Is like 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.280 your willingness to talk about sex, yes, and gay sex 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.320 in particular. Yes, How did you get to a place 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.920 where you felt comfortable sharing that like on stage? 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.240 Okay, So I never did comedy in the closet. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.400 I know some people like did comedy under your straight personas, 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.280 and they finally got to come out that it was 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.120 a little bit wild than twenty twenty three, and people like, 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.920 can you believe I'm gay? I was like, girl, yes, 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.840 you filmed it in the village, but I never wanted 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.320 to be in the closet on stage, primarily because one, 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.000 you have like these micro tells wherever now, and then 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.720 you'll be talking about something and let's say you choose 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.320 to use gender nonspecific pronouns. People clock that. Let's say 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.960 you always kind of talk around your personal life people 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.560 in the audience and other comments, They'll be like, wait 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.280 a second, it was gone. And so then you have 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.480 these kind of almost self hating moments where you go, oh, 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:20.960 I don't want talk about any gay stuff. You'd be like, 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:22.880 wait a second. If I don't talk about gay stuff, 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.200 there's no guarantee anyone's gonna talk about gay stuff at 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.200 this straight ass Mike. So then you kind of find 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.920 the fun and the taboo and the transgressive nature of 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:36.440 queer sex in a straight setting. Because now a lot 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.760 of these a lot of these straight boy comedians, all 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.640 of these straight men who do comedy, they think gay 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.360 sex is super funny, and you go, okay, sometimes it is, 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.319 but gay sex isn't funny because two people love each other. 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:47.959 Gay sex is funny because have you ever tried to 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.240 turn a door handle with lube on your hand? 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.559 That's fun you yeah, you know what I mean. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.080 Gay sex is funny because you go, hey, are. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:58.880 You killing him? 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:01.800 We're trying slate. 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.480 That's when gay sex is funny, because sex is funny. 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.760 And so I always wanted to be very open, and 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.480 I want to be as specific as possible sometimes because 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.160 through that specificity you get a lot of comedy. And 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.360 that's why my monkey pox jokes is very funny, just 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.520 because there was a specifisty when we were all getting 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.400 the monkey pops vaccine and you show up in the 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:25.560 Bronx and be like the Queen's were out Listen. 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.120 If you hear that means you can. 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.520 I think there's a long standing tradition of being able 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.640 to talk about taboo subjects and for some people, queer sex, 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.960 especially male centered queer sex, and comedy settings. What happens 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.240 a lot of times in comedy, and I hate that 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:45.640 I even have to say it this way, is that 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:50.600 like people can map sapphic and lesbian comics onto straight 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.480 male comics because at the end of the day they think, oh, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.280 they just talking about bitches no matter what. So okay, 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:58.240 I can when it gets to like actual queerness and 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:03.280 femininity presented through a kind of male presenting body and 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.840 anything that's actually really transgressive and really taboo, it's so 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.280 scary for people. People like what, I didn't even I 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:10.640 have straight people still come up with me. They go, 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.560 I don't even usually like gay comedy, but you And 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.400 then I go and I go, man, stop looking at me. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.680 Stop your girlfriends right here, right here, right here, hey, 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:25.720 but put at least on him so I can watch. 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:28.600 Megan bar. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:30.720 And she will. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.200 I'm okay with some of these straight us come up 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.440 to me like, oh man, I really like your stuff. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:37.920 I'm not okay with them being like I don't like 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.680 gay people accept you. I hate that ship and that 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.880 that's like that's like when I mean that's kind of 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:48.079 when people go, I don't even like wrap, and you go, well, okay, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.880 all right, but yeah, that's uh. I'm very lucky in 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.920 the since that I've been able to curate and cultivate 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.679 a fan base that is pretty open and accepting and 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:58.720 like hopefully growing. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.559 So yeah, so ju, I want to talk about the 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:02.120 gym a little bit. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.120 Yes, you are yoked by comedy standards, by any standards, 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:08.440 but right. 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:14.400 Now I'm dressed like like a graduate teaching. I was wondering, Yeah, 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.080 I'm trying to play with I'm trying to play with reveals. 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.720 Sometimes you can see some stuff through just a little yeah, 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.280 sometimes you can see stuff through Oversize things make it 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.040 very fun. I didn't want to be whore like y'all 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.160 kind of covered, you know what I mean. We need 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.680 one of these shirts though. But I love the gym. 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.640 The gym is what got me through my first couple 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:36.960 of years in New York. When I first moved here, 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.920 I was a personal trainer and that was the first 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.439 thing I did, and then I started doing comedy and 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.520 it was a job that actually lined up pretty well 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:44.520 with comedy, so. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.040 I loved it. I worked at a gym and after plays. 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.160 So I know the name has changed, but if you 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.920 know where it is, you know where it is. Man, 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:56.840 that's that's the gym where I first started working New 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.880 York and it was so gay when I got there, 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.880 huge discoll on the second floor with the DJ booth inside. Period. 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.280 Amanda Laport was like at the opening of this gym, 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.319 this gym was like it was one of those gyms 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.239 that was a nightlife gym that also was like basically 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.199 the pregame for a lot of people before they went out, 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.320 and it was always packed. Anderson Cooper was at this 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.800 gym for a little bit. I told one story where 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:19.600 I was like, I was like just being silly with 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.320 one of my personal trainer friends and he's like, Jay, 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.760 how do you maintain size but also meantain definition. I said, Ryan, 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.920 you're not gonna believe me. Come, you gotta drink more. Come. 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:30.880 He said, is the protein? I said, no, it's a zinc. 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.679 I said, that's you're not You're not getting your micro nutrients. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.680 This is like before I was doing scam up, I 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.120 was like basically workshopping sets in the gym. I go 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.400 to another group of trainers and I'm about to tell 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.160 this joke, and then who's with these trainers right now? 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.559 Anderson Cooper. So I'm like, shut up, But I was like, 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.520 I'm talking about second dick in front of Anson Cooper. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:57.119 He ain't this like the first time that gym was insane, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:02.000 primarily because it was also a place where you would 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:06.320 see people there for a very specific reason, gymnasium means 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:12.559 naked place. They were taking full advantage of that downstairs, 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.120 and I was a trainer who would definitely turn a 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:21.920 blind eye simply because I'm not a fucking cop. I'm 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.680 not a cop, I'm not a narc So if someone 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:25.920 was down there for a little bit, I'd be like, 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:31.280 go ahead, that's right, I'm gonna go over here. I mean, 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.959 the craziest thing that ever happened one time I was 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.679 upstairs and I saw like fire truck, fire truck, ambulance. 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.080 Apparently someone was in the steam room a little too long. 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.280 Take a break, everyone psa, take a break. He's in 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.160 there too long, passed out, fell and then you know 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.440 he had to be carried out. He wasn't dead, but 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.160 as he was getting carried out, the meanest thing someone 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.760 said is what are you going to tell his wife? 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.959 Before there was any other gym or I saw a 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:09.880 bunch of queenie muscly men who got to be gay, 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.360 like gay with the capitol G. Not scared of straight 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.160 men being all the wicks in here like that was 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:18.920 the gym, and so it was a place for them 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.040 both feel free and feel empowered. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:21.960 So I was very happy. 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.360 It was one of those things that definitely informed my 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.360 comedic persona. I was like, Oh, these people can be 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.240 this loud and gay in the gym. I can be 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.120 this loud and gay on stage, of course. So it 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:33.560 was one of those things that I was happy I 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.400 got to see. It also didn't give me any sort 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.160 of like, it didn't give me any sort of issues. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.160 Like when I was at that gym, I could talk 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.160 about queer stuff, I could talk about gym stuff, I 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:44.920 can talk about nerdy stuff. I could talk about whatever 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.720 I wanted to and it was fine. We even had 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.440 my boss. He loved gay trainers, specifically because being a 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.120 trainer required knowledge and rapport and while gay guys sometimes 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.920 don't have burns, they do not, but the ability to 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:04.080 communicate and the rapport both with female clients. With female clients, 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.880 there's like a girl, let me tell you aspect. With 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:07.840 male clients, there's okay here if you want to look 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.240 good for men, I can tell you how to look. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.000 And then with straight clients, straight client, whenever you had 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.760 a straight client in that gym, you were like, this 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.120 is not a zoo, but isn't this crazy? Don't feed them? 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:23.720 But yeah, hungry. I mean. It's also where I saw 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.280 I saw trans people go to the gym without feeling weird. 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.200 I saw non binary people go to the gym without 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.360 feeling weird. And that was like a huge thing for 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:32.720 me coming from the South because I was like, oh 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.840 my gosh, So let's go back in time. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.520 Yeah, I'm wondering if you can remember your earliest sexual 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.200 awakening in the gym or locker room. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:41.640 Locker room? 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.240 Oh yes, okay, so locker room, okay. 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.720 Whenever I was in high school, that's when we had 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.160 to take like gym, and so they would make us 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.120 change in the locker room. And that's the first time 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.080 you see anyone else in because like you'd be at home, 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.600 you see yourself in you're underwhere, but in high school 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.360 because everyone this is I'm aiding myself a bit. Everyone's 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:05.840 wearing boxers, so you you were seeing movement. 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:07.080 You know what I mean. 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.360 It's in the morning, I'm in a locker room with 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.240 a bunch of my classmates. I'm seeing them get undressed. 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.520 I'm getting undressed, and the whole time like this is 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.040 crazy what they just let us look at this? We 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:19.960 shouldn't be in here. But then at the same time, 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.240 like this is cool. Everyone be cool, Everyone be cool. 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.600 That was the first time.

I'm still but a boy adults. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.240 And then there were like all these silly and like 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.720 fun moments where like I remember one of my best friends, 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.560 he was notorious for like mooning people. Every time he 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.880 mooned people as a non out, but definitely I knew 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.920 something was going on. I'd be like, that's a good book. 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:05.439 I was like, we're so thankful. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.600 We grew up in the era of jackass, oh streight 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:12.760 men naked when I was in high school, of butts 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:13.440 and balls. 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.600 You would see the we went to high school during 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.040 the I got a piece of gum on my leg 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.320 era where you'd be like, that's okay.
