1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Look, oh, I see you, my ow and look over

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: there is that culture.

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: Yes, lost culture.

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Lost cultures. As our guest takes a massive hit of

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: the vape, I'm jealous, to be quite honest.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: Stars are back. Star behavior is back. Hit the vape.

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: That's you know weed. No, we know, it's just weed.

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 2: We love it. It doesn't matter. This is the thing.

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: Back in the day, like let's say, at the Shadow,

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 3: there would be signs and I'm saying the seventies, there'd

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: be signs of the doors that were like no actors,

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: people in showbiz were never moral paragons. And now it's like, okay,

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 3: we all got to like behave and like everyone street.

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: And no smoking inside. I'm sick of egg shells.

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm so fucking the egg. When you crack the egg,

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: give me the yolks straight away. And you know when

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: I'm coming because I call in advance, I make a reserv.

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: This is my own thing, so honey, later it's gonna

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: be egg forward. Period.

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,679

Speaker 3: It's TV. It's TV. It's a TV. Shure, we're on

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 3: the idiot box, like everyone else.

00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: want to say someone dropped out during the broadcast from presenting.

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: They pulled in Brittany and Mallin during the show because

51
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: thee Leston I sat in front of them. They were like,

52
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: I guess we're presenting so chill so matter of fact,

53
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: did grow professional. They were like, yeah, we don't know

54
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: what the copy is yet. They did not find out

55
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: the copy until ten minutes before. And I would say

56
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: one of the highlights of the night. Sorry, I took

57
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: me on.

58
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: And so I had this is brilliant to hear. And

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: I just want to say I had a night full

60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: of highlights the other night because I went to go

61
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: I think my fifth time yes to the Broadway production

62
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: O Mary. Oh yeah right, because it's kind of at

63
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: the point now where it's like every time they announce

64
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: even even I get like a whiff of a casting rumor,

65
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: and then it comes to me. I'm like, well, I

66
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: guess I'm going again. And it's never a hardship. It's

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: always hard. It's always a hard me rock card in

68
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: the seats for comedy and more.

69
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: When they post the Daguero type of whatever actor in

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: the curls and the Brady curls, as Cola Scola puts it,

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: I go, I guess I'm buying.

72
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: Can I say this is the year where we've got

73
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Cola Scola with a Tony Jeff Hiller with an Emmy.

74
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: And Jamel Tillman with an Emmy.

75
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: Currently our guest on the boards and become a Broadway

76
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: fixture and so deservedly so. I can't think of anything

77
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: more right. Also, since we've last seen our guests, she

78
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: has won RuPaul's Drag Race All Winners All Stars, which

79
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: what was the title they gave but what it was

80
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: called the Superstar of the of the Queendom or whatever.

81
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: You know, They're always coming up with these long, long titles, honorifics.

82
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: If you will, it is a true joy as always

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: to sort of and let me hit that. Am I allowed?

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: Yeah? Of course? Trust here you're an all the I'm

85
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: on prep because we can share this and that's the

86
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: sort of everything I need to talk about today.

87
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: This or prep prep, this is going to be the

88
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: most prep forward episode we've ever had.

89
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: Well, well, that's on you. We should have been way

90
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: more prep forward. Well that's good.

91
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: Is that medical sure?

92
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 2: I mean I use it medisinally. I got it from

93
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: a legal dispensary. Okay, well wait for you to finish,

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: jas Monson. We got a little carried away there, but

95
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: much I wanted to interject in all of that. Well,

96
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: first of all, I wanted to name drop constantly, because

97
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: you said Hannah Bindbinder, who was a guest judge on

98
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: All Stars Seven Jeans Smart, who I have yet to meet,

99
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: like face to face, but I performed for her at

100
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: the Tony the Pirates. Oh my god, I said it wrong?

101
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: After what how do you say it? Penzance? And I've

102
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: watched press people's say pins and pins, and you know

103
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: that might be the one symptom I still feel from weed,

104
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: because like what I was going to say is, I'm

105
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: so like I seem pretty function to you, right, Yes,

106
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 2: I'm on so many other things that negate the weed

107
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 2: that the weed is just like patching in the cracks.

108
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: That's how I feel about it. Jean Smart, she was

109
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: in recently on Broadway, across the street from my building,

110
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: so sometimes I would be getting out of my car

111
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: and she'd be doing her stage store and I'd get

112
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: to just like look over and there's Jean Smart, right.

113
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: And when that wasn't happening, then I had her giant

114
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: poster just outside my window. So life has become really genie.

115
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: It's become very surreal, and I've just had to embrace it,

116
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: because if I sit around commenting on how the real

117
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: it is, I'll be one of those people who's like, my, all,

118
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: this is so amazing, rather than shut up enjoy it. Then,

119
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 2: I've been trying to practice talking less. I'm not doing

120
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: very why because I dominate everything anyway, because I don't

121
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: want dogs. Well yeah, I'm what they call a bossy

122
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: bottom anyway, the general the queerdom. Jeff Hiller recently came

123
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: to see Oh Mary. Michael Yuriy was also nominated, and

124
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: of course, of course I was rooting for my cast

125
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: made that that's what you do. But also Jeff is

126
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: a friend and they are friends with each other. And

127
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: so you know when he came to see the show

128
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: and Michael and him were hugging, and the three of

129
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: us were hugging and congratulating each other on kicking a

130
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: lot of ass as very queer people unapologetically. So I

131
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: think the last thing I said to them before I

132
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: departed that night was now one of you go win

133
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: that and me so a straight guy doesn't get it.

134
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: I didn't really know who the rest of the nominees

135
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: are because I'm the one completely unplugged from current culture

136
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: by choice.

137
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: Anyway, he was in the very category.

138
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: So I'm well, see the odds, and that's what I

139
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: want to talk about, about, like us kicking ass. You know,

140
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm so please, Do you forgive me? I'm so sorry.

141
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 2: I didn't know. It's something I couldn't care, but that

142
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: the same applies to you. If you had been there,

143
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 2: I would have said, now one, were you there that night?

144
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: I was not that night because it's all in the blend,

145
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: but that category. I didn't even realize this until after

146
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: the fact, Like everyone makes it made like a little

147
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: lovely moment out of like the boxes when they announced,

148
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: like you know, the three of us sleeping for Josh

149
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: which was me and Coleman and Michael like, oh right,

150
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 3: it's because this was a like for the first time

151
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: in a long time, and like not any award show,

152
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: but in a long since I can remember, like a

153
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: mostly gay guy group Category four seven.

154
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: It's it's an astounding thing to witness. It's like so

155
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: many things all at once. And I was talking to

156
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: you about this when you came to see, oh Mary,

157
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: that there was a scarcity in this industry for us,

158
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: the visibly unapologetically queer, like couldn't try to hide it

159
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: if we want to do so, Why like waste my

160
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: life trying to play characters that aren't right for me

161
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: when I know what's right for me, right, And I

162
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: can keep pulling this thread. But basically, like if you

163
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: look at you two with this podcast that's become a

164
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: TV show, right, and you look at Cola Scola who

165
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: wrote Omary, and you look at Michael and Jeff and

166
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: all of these people succeeding. Do you know why we're

167
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 2: fucking succeeding right now? Because when no one believed in us,

168
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: we created our own stuff. You know, you created this

169
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: when the roles were scarce, cole created their own play

170
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: to create more roles for people like us and look

171
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: at the roster since you know, and then it's just

172
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: it's this amazing thing. And I was telling Matt, like,

173
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: when there was the scarcity, it didn't matter what the

174
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: role was, if there was any role that wasn't like

175
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: in the box, we were all going for it. It

176
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: didn't matter if you were a drag queen or a

177
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: trans woman or a gay guy or you know, it

178
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: was like the role's queer. So we all have to

179
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: find a way to go for it. And then we're

180
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: all kind of like, oh, I hope you get it knowing,

181
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: you know, but we're all actually, you know, it was hard.

182
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 2: It used to be hard to watch roles go to

183
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: other performers, not because you don't want it for them,

184
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: but because you're like, well, there goes that role this year.

185
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: That's the only one that's gonna happen. But now that

186
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: that scarcity is not a thing, as I was saying

187
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: to Matt the other night, it is so easy to

188
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: celebrate each other. Yeah, you know, like, and I learned

189
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: all of this from creating the Jinks and Dayla Holiday Show,

190
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 2: which is my thing that we created. Right, So if

191
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: you look at all these queer artists that are blowing

192
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: up right now. We've all been doing this for twenty

193
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: years or something. You know, I don't know how old

194
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 2: you are, but we're probably the same age. Yeah, you

195
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: probably sixteen years literally exactly. So it's like exactly, it

196
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: didn't happen overnight. But the ability to celebrate one another

197
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: only just keeps because then we pull each other in

198
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: rather than fighting with each other, rather than competing, we

199
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: all pull each other in and then recommend each other

200
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: for roles because we have worked at tearing down those

201
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: stick mess And you also get.

202
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: I think, better at what you do and funnier when

203
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: you're surrounded by people who you're inspired by and have

204
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: things in common with, as opposed to pushing those things away.

205
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: Just every single time community has been you can draw

206
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: a direct line to why something succeeded, how something got better.

207
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: I think that's why we were also happy for Jeff,

208
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 3: because Jeff was this true like an actual leader in

209
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 3: terms of like comedy gays or theater gaze if like

210
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: it was him teaching at uc B or being in

211
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: the main stage casts that we all went to go

212
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 3: see the shows he inspires Josh Arp and Air and

213
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: Jackson to then come together whatever they have a model

214
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: for this, they put their show up. Then we all

215
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: go see their show and go hang out at Barracuda

216
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: Rest in Peace afterwards. It was like us and Cole

217
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: and Julio and like all of all of the New

218
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: York comedy queers just like hanging out and then like

219
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: that's that's like we always say, that was the beginning

220
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: of actual like New York queer comedy.

221
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: Well and also, for what it's worth, we were also

222
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: watching you on television.

223
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: Is happening like you just described your New York queer

224
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: comedy community in the drag world, you know, Alaska had

225
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: dragged the musical off Broadway. Her and I were Her

226
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: and I and Cole and Tommy Dorfman were all nominated

227
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: for this Acting award with a bunch of muggety MUCKs

228
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: and my friend's mom Mia. I love saying that I

229
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: do as much as my friend you know mea. Anyway,

230
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: it was incredible to look around at that function, the

231
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 2: Drama League Awards and see all the big people who

232
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: are having a really big moment on Broadway, see lifers

233
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: in the biz, see like people who are household names.

234
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Nick Jonas was sitting right behind me looking

235
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 2: down my dress. I'm sure, yeah, you know I mentioned

236
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: me a pharaoh. It was like and to even be

237
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: able to look over my shoulder and see me a

238
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: pharaoh just sitting there and she politely, you know, because

239
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: he's my friend's and she's so incredibly kind. I love

240
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: her so much. It's the Pharaoh family are like chosen

241
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: family to me. So it was incredible to see those

242
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: faces and then see familiar of course, because you were

243
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: talking about your comedy family in New York. And I

244
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: just keep thinking about I when YouTube was a brand

245
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: new website. That's how long I've been a fan of

246
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: Colascla and Jeffrey self, starting with It's just them kind

247
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: of like dominating short form as it was being born, yep,

248
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: so much so that a TV network logo picked them up.

249
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: And then I watched every episode of Jeffrey and Cole Casserole.

250
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: So it's like copying a huge sensation on Broadway and

251
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: the ability to celebrate that truly and genuinely it fuels

252
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: me to keep going because I'm like, we gotta take

253
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: this and run.

254
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I say, like this the the scarcity is

255
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 3: not like fully in the past, like no, it keeps

256
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: trying to like push this.

257
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: Oh, and then that's why we have to double down.

258
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: And again what I'm saying is like, we created our

259
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: own stuff, and it's authentic to who we are as performers.

260
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: And when we get hired for things because they saw

261
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: something in your podcast or something whatever, you can connect

262
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: the dots. But like when they hire you from your

263
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: work that's authentically you, then you get to be authentically

264
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: you in the work that they hire you, rather than

265
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: having to show up at an audition and be like, oh,

266
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: my name is the voice? Was that guys is voice? No?

267
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: I don't really I've never really been able to mask it.

268
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: Matt certainly does.

269
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: I mean I was, can you remember it?

270
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: It gets you know, what's crazy, It gets harder to

271
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: slip into as I get older and more comfortable, like

272
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: Long Island accent and also my masculine thing. But it's

273
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: kind of like this, I guess I mean to be quite.

274
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: Definitely that immediately as the dial, the slurring, what it

275
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: needed to do with.

276
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's shorter vowels, you can't push your asses. It's

277
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: I think that's the end. The end the upper lips,

278
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: sort of like flux. It's like, I'm not gonna see I.

279
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: I don't even want to try it.

280
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: You don't have to. I'm just curious you guys. I'm

281
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: gonna do mine for you. Well, like back in college,

282
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: if it was someone I felt safe around, and I'd

283
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: say like, good morning, I'm just cleaning the room. But

284
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: if it was someone I didn't know, we're going to

285
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: feel safer. Happened to be in your room and while

286
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 2: you were cleaning, and you know I was a stand

287
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: or college you were you actually were. Please don't send

288
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: me on an I thought you were doing. Oh my god,

289
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: it was a bit and I don't need to come

290
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: up with fiction anyway, good morning, I'm cleaning room. And

291
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: then say it was someone else, it probably would have

292
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: sounded like, hey, just cleaning, you know, like just trying

293
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 2: to be because when I tried to do a straight voice,

294
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 2: it sounds like what I did jokingly and it's sounding funny.

295
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: And then people are like what is this like? Because

296
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: like if I I can pitch my voice very low,

297
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: this would be the lowest I can do. But it's

298
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 2: like that coming out of me is like, what's the fuck.

299
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: How to do.

300
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: That when I played the wach game is who who

301
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 3: is that? That sounds like, please, let's not.

302
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 2: Contificate that, but no, no, The point is is like

303
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: I learned that playing that Cowardly Lion in high school.

304
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: But it's such a care that was your take on

305
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: the cowardly Lion? Oh well, I would slip into it

306
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: when he would be try to be so yeah. Yeah,

307
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 2: it's like my actual cowardly lion voice was oh oh no,

308
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: really a dandy, a snaggle pul exitge. You forget that

309
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: he was would. But the thing is, is not an

310
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: attractive It doesn't. It doesn't. It's the case.

311
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: It's wasn't when to what the roles I play these,

312
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 3: But I think you bring it to I think you

313
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: are bringing a very shall I say, like full spectrum

314
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 3: of gender to Mary.

315
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: I think that's your unique take on Mary. It's like

316
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: your lawyer Sam, like a fucking.

317
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 3: Like that, which like hold it necessarily, do you know

318
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: Betty it is Titus didn't do it. But when I

319
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 3: saw you do do Mary a couple of weeks ago,

320
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: I was like, Shinx is one of our preeminent screamers.

321
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: I think you have to You're screaming in such a

322
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 3: considered way, and I imagine there's some vocal like exercise

323
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: or health that helps gets well.

324
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: I've been joking. This is my easy answer because if

325
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: I try to give the real answer, then it's like

326
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: a ten minute conversation because I go on tangents. Anyway,

327
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: the quick, fun answer I say is well, I worked

328
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 2: as a drag queen for over twenty years and I

329
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 2: still do. So I've worked in every shitty venue and

330
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: had to find a way to be heard in every

331
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: crappy situation, and so I've learned a lot of different tricks.

332
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: The true thing is every role I've played, because I

333
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: always like to start with like, I don't like a

334
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 2: character having my voice. I want to find even if

335
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: it sounds like my voice, I want to find the

336
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: like the ways it's different. What's Barry's voice? Just a

337
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: little more? Sorry, I have to like, yeah, I'm you

338
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 2: on the spot. I can't. I can't drop into her

339
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: right right right up, just qualitatively, like what do you

340
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: think it is? I think Mary's one of the closers

341
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: in my actual voice. Over the years, I have picked

342
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: up from every character different techniques, Like I know I

343
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: can pitch my voice that low because I played the

344
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 2: Cowardly Lion once and I found that trick then and

345
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: I never lost it. And so all of my screaming

346
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 2: is very particularly placed and pitched, so that if I

347
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: growl here, then I know I have to kind of

348
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 2: like whispery'll here until I can get another drink of water,

349
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: cough and clear my throat and whatever I need to

350
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: do to then growl again. So I plot a course,

351
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: and that's what I do with rehearsal. Is I get

352
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 2: very technical about Okay.

353
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: My dresser has to be here backstage with a bottle

354
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: of Asensha.

355
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: With my own I'm sorry. I don't rely on people

356
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: that just have my brand. You're carrying, I'm carrying you're carrying.

357
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: But what was the thing? Oh Mary? Well, she's like

358
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: more wide and she goes a lot more angel yes,

359
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: and there's moments where she just you know, like she

360
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: just is all. She's very erratic. It's just with Mary.

361
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: I've mentioned it a few times, but I like to

362
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: clear my head of what's going on in my life.

363
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: Uh huh, as best I can. Everyone who works with

364
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: me knows, like two hours before showtime. Please don't hit

365
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: me up with something crucial that's gonna throw me off course,

366
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: because that is like when I'm listening to my playlist

367
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: and I'm doing my makeup, and I'm checking in with

368
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 2: the cast and I'm getting into the mindset, and then

369
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 2: this is the first time I've ever been cognizant of

370
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: the fact that I go on stage with a clear

371
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: head and then let my ADHD be Mary's ADHD. And

372
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: I realized in retrospect I was totally doing that with

373
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: Ruth too, but with Ruth I was calling it her

374
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: hearing problem. With Audrey, I was calling it her like

375
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 2: nervousness around men. So I always have found a way

376
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: to disguise it so that like, if I'm fully locked

377
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: in and present with everyone on stage, then my ADHD

378
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: is seeing every little thing. And when people say I'm

379
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 2: good at improfits because I keep my peripheral open as

380
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: much as possible. And probably that came from having to

381
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: walk down to the street as a queer person, having

382
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: I think about that a lot too now with my

383
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 2: noise cancelation headphones in.

384
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 3: I'd the street once because you had those headphones in

385
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 3: and I had you had to like really really get

386
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 3: in your eye line, and it was amazing because.

387
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: I'm laser focused in Times Square. That's the way you

388
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: have have to be. We stomp. We're stompers to our

389
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: music on the streets.

390
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess the.

391
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: Only way to get you through it you have to

392
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: make a game of it. Mario Kart.

393
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think that those games did help. Walking

394
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: the streets of New York. It's like, I see where

395
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: I am going, like, I, yeah, there's something You're in

396
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: a tunnel.

397
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 2: The thing I feel is so before being able to

398
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: call it ADHD or whatever special acute thing is going

399
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: on up here, ADHD is like pretty much what it

400
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: looks like, right, whatever's going on up here. When I

401
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 2: thought my brain was broken, I wanted to suppress all

402
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: of it because I just didn't want people thinking what

403
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: a freak, you know, right as soon as I started

404
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: working with a psychiatrist and a therapist and they helped

405
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: me identify what I'm dealing with here, and I'm on,

406
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: like I said, I'm on medication that helps me with

407
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 2: all my symptoms. And so I just want to say

408
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: publicly when I'm hitting my vape, it's not because I

409
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: don't take my work seriously. It's because the vape help.

410
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: It fills in the cracks. Like I said, if I

411
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: have ten thoughts going.

412
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: On, yeah you limit them.

413
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 2: It goes down to five, I think on the way.

414
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 2: But you know, like that's another tangent heavy tangent zone

415
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: there should bear.

416
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I mean, that's that's very interesting that

417
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's a truth because I feel like there

418
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: are roles that are complementary to that kind of.

419
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 3: Thought, like that kind of like attention to things that

420
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 3: you have with your ADHD as you're on stage and

421
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 3: as you're plugged in to people.

422
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: I think Mary is one of those roles right where

423
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: absolutely because you could look at her and think she's

424
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: a sociopath and that's one way to play her. And

425
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: that's I mean, that's what I thought the first time

426
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: I saw it. But now that I've worked with her

427
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: and had to empathize with her and had to get

428
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: inside trying to decode calls, very very like perfectly written show.

429
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: There's a reason why it works so well with so

430
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 2: many different guests, Like the writing is just incredible, and

431
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: so there's a lot of material there to pick ap

432
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: heart and figure out why she does what she does.

433
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 2: And so I was like, well, so Ceopeth's one way

434
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: to go, but I always like to go everything's genuine

435
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: because that raises the stakes, Like if the character isn't

436
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 2: lying and this whole time they secretly have a secret

437
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: that negates everything they're doing on stage or whatever, I

438
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 2: don't know, whatever the internal monologue, I'm like, no, I

439
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 2: want to make sure I'm committing to the truth of

440
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: what's going on with this character. And Scott Ellis was

441
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: talking a lot about that in Pirates. It's like it's

442
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: a farce, but for the characters, the stakes are life

443
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: and death, and that's what makes it funny, is committing

444
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: to that truth for them. So this was just kind

445
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: of affirming something I was already kind of like figuring

446
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: out for myself. And so anyway, that was a tangent.

447
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: But I was like, sociopath means she's doing all of

448
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: this just because she doesn't care. But ADHD can mean

449
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 2: she says it very loudly. I'm so bored and I

450
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 2: know that feeling and Cole and I are both people

451
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: who used to drink and don't anymore, right, So I'm like, Okay,

452
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 2: things are lining up, Things are lining up. I'm like,

453
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: she's bored. Everything that happens gives her a new idea.

454
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 2: She used to use alcohol to numb it down. Everyone's

455
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: like time. And then that pulls another thread, like Okay,

456
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: that's why she wants the alcohol so bad. It's not

457
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 2: necessarily that, you know. It's like, don't you understand. It's

458
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 2: the thing that you won't want me to behave normal,

459
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: and she believes that's the thing that's gonna help her

460
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 2: behave normal. I've fucking been there. Yeah, But then the

461
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: whole idea of like alcohol helping you feel normal is

462
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: the tipping point is like, yeah, why fuck with that, right,

463
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 2: because it's so easy to overdo it and then you

464
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: can't backpedal.

465
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: I want to talk about playing drunk because like it's

466
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 3: this thing that like seems a little bit trivial. It

467
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: seems like all actors can do it, all comedians can

468
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: do it.

469
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: They can't.

470
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 3: It's very hard, and they feel like there's you know,

471
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: a feature in this show where where you're talking about,

472
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: like there's a moment, a couple of moments in the

473
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: show where Mary is like drunk, like one particular moment.

474
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 3: But I feel like and I haven't really gotten to

475
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: talk to Cole about this, but I feel like they

476
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: wrote the show was a way to like make sense

477
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: of their addiction in a way, and I feel I.

478
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: Have to imagine, I mean, Mary is this erratic character that,

479
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: like I said, the first time I saw it, I

480
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: thought she was a sociopath. And then I spent some

481
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 2: time with the material, and I'm sure if I had

482
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: seen it a second time, I would have like unlocked

483
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: it fast with Cole before getting a role, and then

484
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: I stuck in a few more times. Anyway, the point

485
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: being that I just felt like she's not a sociopath,

486
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: She's dealing with real things for her. And then I

487
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: know that Cole said they wrote the role to share

488
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: parts of themselves that they had previously never thought of

489
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 2: putting on stage right that And I've been saying this

490
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: a lot because people keep saying to me, which is

491
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: the hugest compliment, because like I said, this is like

492
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: a perfect play. It's incredibly written, it's incredibly structured. If

493
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: you do the text analysis, this is like a tight,

494
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: well constructed play. You can tell that people who really

495
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 2: cared about it put a lot of work into it.

496
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: It's of the best monologues too. Yeah, like the Great

497
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: Day Monologue is like, I think one of the greats.

498
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: I think I had a different point, but the it's

499
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: like it's great material to work with. So it's easy

500
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: to find all of this stuff. And I keep saying, Oh,

501
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: Cole and I have lived parallel lives, right, I've been

502
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: saying this a lot. Cole not necessarily a drag queen,

503
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: but has played many drag roles or roles where Cole was,

504
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: you know, gender bending. If we're still been calling it

505
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: these days, I'm like, I'm thinking, like it was just

506
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: col being cold, right, like you know, Cole, It's like

507
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: Bernadette Peters Cole. I'm like, I couldn't call that drag

508
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: because it was just one wig and some lipstick. It

509
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: wasn't drag. It was like channeling. And so I've thought

510
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: this for a while. We met thirteen years ago Cole

511
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: and I colonoscopy Cole and I in Australia. That was

512
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: the first time we met, but I had been a

513
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: lifelong fan, and so me and Cole and Jeffrey run

514
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: into each other because we're all on comedy tours in Australia,

515
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: and I started I was like you're on a comedy

516
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: tour in Australia, I'm gonna come, Like, oh my gosh.

517
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: I started to feel like these people that inspired me

518
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: to be so queer in my work because they were

519
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 2: making it work for themselves. I like kind of catching

520
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 2: up with them, you know. It was this moment of like,

521
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: are we all kind of doing the same thing each other? Right?

522
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

523
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: You know the feeling and then it's like and then

524
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: as it became more normal to know them, it was

525
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: just kind of like, oh, we do the same thing

526
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: in different ways. And thinking of that, it's like the

527
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: hugest compliment when people say it feels like this role

528
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: was written for you, and I'm like, it wasn't. It

529
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: was written for coal. It just happens to be so

530
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: well written and so true to life that anyone who

531
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: has lived a similar life or can easily like transpose

532
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: what Mary's going through onto their life, like I was

533
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: easily able to do. Yeah, because we live these parallel lives.

534
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: It's like, no, it wasn't written for me, but you

535
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: can see why people say it, right, yeah, speaking to it's.

536
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: Both of your lives. And I also was thinking about

537
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: the Great Day model as actually an anxious thought. You

538
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean that that whole monologue is actually

539
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: one big ADHD tunnel that you can get through about

540
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: like it's literally her racing towards something before it's even

541
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: had the chance to be because she's so po and

542
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: it panics her. And like, what I love about that

543
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: moment is like the the opportunity it gives the audience

544
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: to realize the care Like it's because.

545
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: You may not have actually even realized that, you know

546
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: what I kept saying, I thought she was a sociopath.

547
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: That's probably the point in the show where I go,

548
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: it's not a sociopath. Her circumstances are dire. Yeah, And

549
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: then I think about, you know, now that I've spent

550
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: so much time with the material, her circumstances are life

551
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: and death. Yes, in no uncertain terms. It's not like

552
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: interpreting it. Her circumstances are life and then yeah, And

553
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: I just relate to Mary so much, but I know

554
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: so many people do. And again that's a credit to

555
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: the writing, a credit to the direction. But I was

556
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: gonna I almost didn't want to share this because I'm like,

557
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 2: am I really going to give away this secret to

558
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: my performance?

559
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: Give it?

560
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: While I'm still in the run, but you only have

561
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: like a week left. Oh okay the Great Day monologue

562
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: for those in the No. For me, my great day

563
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 2: is literally playing Mary on Oh It's that easy. And

564
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 2: I was like, I bet Cole was thinking that too

565
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: when they wrote this, And I'm like, Cole, I didn't

566
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: know this was going to be on Broadway when they

567
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: wrote this. They just wrote something so true to what

568
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: it feels like when you were born to do this

569
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: and you have known it your like, I'm talking whole life, yep.

570
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: Like as long as I've known that I was trans

571
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: and a redhead, I've also known I was an actor,

572
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: a performer, a singer at all.

573
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: I mean, you have you have six great days and

574
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: one of them is a great matinee day.

575
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 2: Two of them are sometimes yeah, wait two days.

576
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 3: Say if your great days Mary, then you have like

577
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 3: so many great days.

578
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: I call it double soup Tuesday at the Orphanarium. If

579
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: you watch Fu Drama, you get it. You make you

580
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 2: make me feel like double soup Tuesday at the Orphanarium.

581
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: That would double every day is double soup Tuesday. I

582
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 2: have Actually, when I play Mary, every day is double

583
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: soup Tuesday.

584
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: I love that you're the first person in lost culture

585
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: since history that we have asked this question twice of

586
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: drinks one soon. What was the culture that made you

587
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: say culture was for you?

588
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 2: The film Death? Because did I say this the last time?

589
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: No, I don't think you.

590
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 2: Think gods because that's the drama turkey I did. Okay,

591
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: I can literally been thinking about why it made me what.

592
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: A striking right now.

593
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: Well, one huge factor is that, because I'm realizing this

594
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: was a very cool rule of my mother's I was

595
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: allowed to watch basically anything without gratuitous sex or like

596
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 2: raunchy nudity as long as I watched it with her,

597
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: so I could ask questions and she could put it

598
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: into context. Very smart, very smart and cool because her

599
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: and I our thing together was to watch horror movies

600
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 2: together because we love horror movies anyway. But so Death

601
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: Becomes Her was called like a horror comedy, right, a

602
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: dark comedy. You watch it now and it's like, that's

603
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 2: not that dark. I saw Dix the musical You Sick,

604
00:36:50,400 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: and that's darker. So dark sick mother. So anyway, my

605
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 2: mom rented Death Becomes Her, and I realized a huge

606
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 2: factor was because of where my birthday lies instead of

607
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: starting at age four in kindergarten and turning five two

608
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: weeks later. They decided to keep me home another year

609
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: because my mom had just been in this horrible car accident.

610
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: The car exploded on us while we were in the car,

611
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: and all the steam burnt up my mom's legs, so

612
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: she decided for us to stay home together for a year.

613
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: We were living with my grandmother, and that meant we

614
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time watching movies together, and she'd

615
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 2: make semi regular trips to the movie store. The movie

616
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: rental plays with a VHS, and I'd request Death Becomes

617
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 2: Her every time, and then I'd just watch it on

618
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 2: a loop. So when I tell you and I watched

619
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: it again last night in preparation for today, I have

620
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: never tested it, So I don't want to make this

621
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: hyperbolic statement that I can't back up. But I'm fairly

622
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 2: certain I could say every line. Well, I believe I

623
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: could do it with the movie definitely, But I'm fairly

624
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: certain I could just do it from memory? Would you do?

625
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 2: But I don't want to be certain about that because

626
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: there's all those interstitial scenes that don't include Merrill or

627
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: Goldie or Isabella. You know what I mean what.

628
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 3: I'm saying, even though you should while the musical is

629
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: concurrently on Broadway, you should stage a one person Jinx

630
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 3: monsoon does the movie word for word of death becomes her.

631
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 2: Listen if I had capacity for anything to this point,

632
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 2: I mean that sounds like a great plan for next year.

633
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 2: And next year is this Christmas way?

634
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 3: This Christmas we want to see it, we want to

635
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: see it, but that's the Jinks and Dayla Holidays.

636
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: This year is just open up your for yourselves.

637
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 2: Well, I say every line Dayla lip sinks it. Yeah,

638
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: every character, It's simple. I say, every line live from memory,

639
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 2: and she lip syncs live to me speaking live.

640
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 3: To a line simultaneous about not not tracks from the movie,

641
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 3: not any audio.

642
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: Underscoring which is available on Spotify because it's on many

643
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 2: of my playlists. Oh, I do love that. It's funny.

644
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: You think you're going to the Jins and de La

645
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: death becomes her to see one of you play Goldie

646
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: and one of you play Maryland. The gag is that

647
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: it's just you speaking and her lip syncing, so.

648
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: We both are the entire movie exactly.

649
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: In this way, you both get to live out both perfect.

650
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 2: And speaking of the musical, I can't stop listening to

651
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: me I gotta say I I told this directly to Megan.

652
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: Sorry Megan, Yeah, of course you know Jen and Megan

653
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 2: and Michelle they were also girls. Are the girls Destiny's Child.

654
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: Kids from Jennifer imagine with them popping out.

655
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: I saw the show. I was thoroughly entertained from we saw.

656
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm so glad, I'm in good company. Nine drops so

657
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 2: fur you to see the show, I said to Megan.

658
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 2: Didn't get a chance to say it to Jen, but

659
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 2: Jen and I have a special relationship. I'll talk about

660
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: that next. But I said to Megan, you and Jen

661
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 2: and really Michelle, all three of them like delivering incredible

662
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 2: drag performances, you know, like and it's just really inspiring

663
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: to see the doors I have opened, honestly for them

664
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: to be to drag. They were able to do drag

665
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 2: on Broadway. They were because.

666
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: Because mos up I.

667
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 2: Told you about the time you were with us. But

668
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: I thought of that joke while I was brushing my teeth,

669
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: so I you and if I didn't do it, I

670
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: would have been so pissed and I would have been

671
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 2: anxiety texting you. Afterwards, Jen SamArt and I presented together

672
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 2: at the Drama Desk Awards, different from the Drama League Awards.

673
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 2: I got them in the right. Yeah, I was Drama

674
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: League Nick Barrish with Drama Deaths. So anyway, I uh,

675
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: I'm presenting with Jen. We're both very feminine redheads. I

676
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 2: made the joke while we're presenting because she was wearing

677
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 2: a low cut dress amazing boobs. Yeah, sorry, I mean yeah,

678
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 2: I mean, like, just the thing is like, if you're

679
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: going to wear a dress like that, it's probably because

680
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 2: you know, you have incredible as if you've got to

681
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: flaun it. Right. So you're we're standing next to each

682
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 2: other kind of looking a little like each other except

683
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: some key differences, right, And so I said, I feel

684
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: like we're standing at opposite ends of a feminine spectrumy

685
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 2: and she said, but both redheads, and I said yeah yeah.

686
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 2: And then so now every time I see her, she

687
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: does this thing that I absolutely adore, and I hope

688
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: saying it publicly doesn't mean she stops doing it, because

689
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: I hate when that happens. Would I tell someone I

690
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: like something they do, and then the next day they

691
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: stop doing it because they feel insecure at this thing

692
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 2: I was. I was actually giving them their flowers. On anyway,

693
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: she just goes, that's my friend, that's my friend. That's

694
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 2: my friend, my friend, and she comes over to me

695
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 2: and we take a picture and she goes, it's my friend.

696
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 2: I think it's very cute. I just fucking love it.

697
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: That's so incredible. I've been singing along to the soundtrack

698
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 2: and Chris Sieber, Oh, he's so incredible. So we're Italian

699
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 2: amazing direction. The character of Stefan and the actors name

700
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 2: is escaping me right now because I haven't been on

701
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 2: Instagram in weeks, so I haven't seen his name recently.

702
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 2: But so good, Like what a great way to flesh

703
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 2: out a throwaway character from the movie. You know what

704
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 2: I mean.

705
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 3: I mean, you love Death Becomes Her so much that

706
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 3: because and I know this ties back to what you

707
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 3: were saying the beginning, like you know, you were making

708
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 3: things when they were upper tunity is given. I mean,

709
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 3: like fresh off the Drag Racemn in season five, you

710
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 3: you do this documentary called Drag Becomes Her, and like

711
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 3: I think that I think there there is this like

712
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 3: spiritual like importance to this film that you have in

713
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 3: you well, yeah, and beyond like the performances and the

714
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 3: looks and the I.

715
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 2: Feel like I've learned every Okay, so part of my

716
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 2: dramaturgy of this, I'm like trying to make it all,

717
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 2: make sense of why it made me so. One big

718
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: thing I do with my characters these days is a

719
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: you know, I start with finding their voice, but I

720
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 2: also start with finding their relationship to power, because I

721
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: see how people with immense power behave. And it was

722
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: something thing we talked about in acting school and the

723
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,720
Speaker 2: best advice about playing drunk. I got an acting school.

724
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 2: I went to Cornish College of the Arts since Seattle, Washington.

725
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: How writers said to me, the mistake young actors make

726
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 2: about playing drunk is going like, ooh, I'm drunk, blah blah.

727
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: A drunk person tries to hide the franchise drunk. You

728
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 2: know you know what I mean. Anyway, Oh, godship power,

729
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 2: relationship to power. People who have a lot of power

730
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: can either be benevolent or malevolent. You know, they can

731
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 2: either abuse it or they can be generous with it.

732
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 2: And that's a spectrum, right. And then I've spent a

733
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 2: lot of time doing uh pieces set in specific time

734
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 2: periods where women had limited agency, and I've been thinking

735
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 2: about that a lot as a trans woman in this

736
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 2: time period, and how there is something spiritual right now

737
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 2: for me. I feel it very deeply as a witch

738
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 2: that helping tells the disenfranchisement story, helping talk about these

739
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: women who probably have bad reputations, yes, or I don't

740
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: know that the real marytime she has a freckled reputation.

741
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 2: But you know, I'm like some of these women that

742
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 2: seem so extreme. I'm thinking Judy Garland right, like, you know,

743
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 2: we know how and why she passed away at a

744
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 2: very early age. And then I try to since I've

745
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 2: spent so much time with her, I try to think of, like,

746
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: you know, what she was dealing with the context of

747
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 2: her life, being completely disenfranchised and having almost no agency

748
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 2: in your life, and then you are a household name

749
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 2: that has to like convince people to hire you because

750
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 2: you promise you'll be on your best behavior, you know,

751
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 2: like that duality in a person to know you have

752
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: that inside but you also have this inside.

753
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for everyone to know you have it too,

754
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: and that gives them even more power because.

755
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 2: Exactly and so I was thinking today about Madeline Ashton

756
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 2: and Helen Sharp and their relationship to power, and they

757
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: both believe that their power is derived from their sex

758
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: appeal because there's a man in the mix, because there's

759
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: a man in the mix, right, Like Helen has found

760
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: her dream man, and she believes, you know, she says,

761
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 2: I need to see you could pass the Madeline Ashton test,

762
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: Like that's the final test before we get married, because

763
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 2: if you meet her after we get married and you

764
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 2: can't pass the test, it will break me. I just

765
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 2: know it will, because it almost has every other time

766
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 2: it's happened. Right, So when Madeline is able to steal

767
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 2: him away, she's like, of course, because she's sexier than

768
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: I am. And then she gives up on her life

769
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: and then she finds, uh, she finds a way to

770
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: sex appeal, which is going to give her the power

771
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:20,959
Speaker 2: to get back at someone like Madeline Ashton, who even

772
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: though was a personal friend, has a lot of protection

773
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: around her. Right, she calculates this whole freaking plan. Madeline

774
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 2: Ashton is dealing with the fact that as a woman

775
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 2: in Hollywood, her youth and her beauty are her power.

776
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: That's her power. So you know, it's also sex appeal,

777
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 2: but It's like Helen's need for the potion is completely

778
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 2: different from Madeleine's, but they are both because of their

779
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: extreme circumstances. And those extreme circumstances, like you've already mentioned,

780
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 2: were because a man was in the mix and because

781
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: they're women at that time. So I just lined it

782
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 2: up with my own life and that's what gives it

783
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: the spiritual meaning. I'm like, yeah, that's as long as

784
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 2: I'm helping, you know, tell those stories authentically and helping

785
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 2: you care for the character that at first glance seems

786
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 2: that that's a crazy person, right, But then when you

787
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: really listen to her and really empathize with her, and

788
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 2: if you can get your audience to do that, then

789
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 2: they realize this is just a woman under extreme circumstances.

790
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 2: And then hopefully, hopefully that sinks in whoever they are,

791
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 2: whether they needed to hear it or whether they already

792
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: knew it. It's either a beautiful affirmation or it's a

793
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 2: lesson that I swear to God, I hope they got.

794
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 3: You know, well, it's all about like, and this is

795
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 3: something you probably experienced in your own life where it's like,

796
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 3: what is my locus of control? Like do I make

797
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 3: things happen or do things happen to me? And death

798
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 3: becomes hers? About two women who like make things happen

799
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 3: because things have happened to that.

800
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? I don't, But it's no. I'm

801
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: in I have never been more lucid. No, it's like

802
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: what death becomes her. I thought about this today. Uh,

803
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 2: when I'm telling you I prepared, this is what I mean,

804
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: death becomes her. It's like drag queens keep things alive

805
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 2: that are important to us, and queer people do too,

806
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: you know. But like drag queens are the ones that

807
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: like keep it present in the queer culture, we are

808
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 2: the ones who every year deliver those costumes that make

809
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 2: you remember those characters, or we do the drag parody

810
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 2: version of it, or we do drag numbers inspired by

811
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 2: When Madeline Ashton Falls down the Stairs, which I saw

812
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 2: at a nightclub. The ad along you could either wait,

813
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 2: they could either hit the music when you made your

814
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 2: way to the stage, like you could quietly, discreetly make

815
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 2: your way to the stage and then hop up and

816
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 2: they hit the music, or because they had a follow spot,

817
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: you could start at the top of the staircase.

818
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 3: It's like if you actually you didn't fill down the stairs.

819
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 2: Luckily I never did, because I always started at the

820
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 2: top of the staircase. I'd be like the dressation now

821
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 2: like walking down the stairs. It was like, I see me.

822
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,919
Speaker 2: You know. It was a chance to do that, right,

823
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 2: And so I think it was there. I think I

824
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 2: saw I hope it was there. And I didn't tell

825
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 2: that whole thing for no reason, but I hope the

826
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 2: drag Queen hears the story. Whoever or wherever she was,

827
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 2: she did a number where it was like started with

828
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 2: her at the top of the stairs doing like I

829
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 2: see me, or maybe she didn't do that number. Whatever,

830
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 2: she's doing a number at the top of the stairs

831
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: and the blue costume and then fakes falling down the stairs.

832
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 2: There's like sound covering it and stuff. The follow spot

833
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 2: is like looking for her at the bottom of the stairs.

834
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 2: She rips off the blue costume, and now she's got

835
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 2: the tits on back. You see that the tits are

836
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 2: on her back, and she's got the costume on backward,

837
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 2: and that the next all twisted and then I don't

838
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 2: remember what the number was, but she performed a number.

839
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter what the number was, because as

840
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 2: long as it was the perfect number. It's like, how

841
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 2: fucking brilliant is that? So we keep these things alive

842
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 2: for each other and down that we are having this

843
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 2: moment where we are culture makers, you know, we are

844
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 2: culture aficionados. I mean East, I mean you're award show.

845
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 2: I was seeing the pictures from it, and I always

846
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 2: had the pictures. I was having probably the worst FOMO

847
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: of my life, you know, not because I wanted to

848
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 2: be nominated, but because I was like, look, first of all,

849
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 2: look at all my friends, and then second I'll look

850
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 2: at all those like fucking muckety MUCKs. It's just like

851
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 2: the Drama League Award luncheon. It's like can you believe?

852
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 2: Can you believe that you are again that you get

853
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: to be in a room where you look at someone

854
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 2: whomever and then you look over and you see, well

855
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:38,720
Speaker 2: that was one of your friends.

856
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: Parts of watching it, I think because for the custos

857
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: of the audience, the customer of the audience were the

858
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: best because it was like, oh my god, there's our

859
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: friend Bianca and then there's you know, Sarah Michelle Gellar,

860
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: and it was it was just it was a real

861
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: treat for just us and also our friends, like as

862
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 1: the does those circles get bigger? You know, It's so

863
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: many people were involved in it, and I was like, wow,

864
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: this is like a very personal experience that we're having

865
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: watching this because it's people that we love intimately, and

866
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: there's people that we love like externally all experience.

867
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 2: Like I said, life is surreal. But I don't want

868
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 2: to waste too much time commenting on it. I want

869
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 2: to just enjoy fucking enjoy it. It's like you know

870
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 2: when you take a party drug. You know you have

871
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 2: so many hours on that drug. If you spend the

872
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 2: whole time going am I acting weird? Am I acting weird?

873
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 2: Am I acting weird? That's what I'm trying to say.

874
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 2: The whole surreal thing, Like if every time you saw me,

875
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 2: you were like, hey, Jinks, how how are you? And

876
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 2: I was like, life is oh, oh my gosh, I

877
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: can't believe how many famous people I meet every day.

878
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 2: If that's not that's not what I want to be.

879
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,879
Speaker 2: I want to be plugged into it, and then if

880
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 2: it comes up naturally in a story, I'll fucking drop

881
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 2: the name, of course. But I don't want to start

882
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 2: the conversation and there I want a conversation that happen

883
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 2: naturally because I'm looking the person in the eyes and

884
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 2: actually having the conversation.

885
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 3: You don't want to be perpetually reflective, because then you're

886
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 3: not actually experiencing anything new.

887
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 2: And that's it.

888
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just look down in my glass and I say,

889
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: I love this. I'm in the present.

890
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 2: I love the shape. Is that is that technically you

891
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 2: have a I have a cup, and it's this is

892
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:32,479
Speaker 2: so much.

893
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,439
Speaker 1: I sometimes want to go back. Not back, I never went,

894
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: but I think it would be interesting to go for

895
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: like two or three weeks to like an acting school

896
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 1: and like get on the ground and eat lemon.

897
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 2: I think they have that.

898
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 1: I probably could do it, huh.

899
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 2: I think we both should use the glasses.

900
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: Well, it would it would just be because there were

901
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: all those tales they would tell back and then while

902
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: you have like like people that were in like theater

903
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: theater school, and like they'd be rolling on the ground.

904
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:03,919
Speaker 2: I saw that care you did the uc B. What

905
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 2: was your worst villain villain? Could have just been that

906
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 2: was the worst actors actor? You know, it was amazing.

907
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 2: What does no one ever bring up your Batman villain character?

908
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 2: From the UCB archive on YouTube.

909
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, It's just it was fresh when

910
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: it was going on. That was such a part of

911
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: like we had a different iteration of our lives, and

912
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: that was what I was doing. I was doing character

913
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: work all the time. It's just from a phase of

914
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: my life that was never this. So no one ever

915
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: really knows our engagement that it's funny, it's relevant. I

916
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: think to like the conversation is it's like when someone

917
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: knows us something a lot or doesn't know you as

918
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: one thing, that's like a that's something you have to

919
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: break through.

920
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 2: And then also like you know you you you two

921
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 2: and I think of Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson. I

922
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 2: mentioned I love that movie. Did I mention it was dark?

923
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: You said it was?

924
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 2: Oh, I was. I was being snipy for comedy. But

925
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 2: it's actually I'll tell you the same thing I told

926
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 2: the boys, I love it. No, I you know, I'll

927
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 2: tell you the same thing. We went to dinner sometime

928
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 2: after I had watched the movie a couple times, and

929
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 2: I said, I need to tell you I love the film. However,

930
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 2: I had to come to that decision only because my

931
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 2: anxiety around the idea of the whole slippery slope argument.

932
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 2: And then I really thought about it, and I really

933
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 2: thought about it, and I was like, that's their fear,

934
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 2: not mine. I know that that's not real. How come

935
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 2: straight men can make the most disgusting, vile, horrible jokes,

936
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 2: but if it's you know, normalized, then we just go, oh, boys, boys,

937
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 2: And I thought they weren't making movies like that anymore,

938
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh no, I just stopped seeing them.

939
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 2: The beautiful thing I love is the movie is satirical,

940
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 2: and it's like showing you, do you see how ridiculous

941
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 2: you're being. That's like to me, it's like, this is

942
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 2: the most ridiculous thing you can imagine. Let's show them,

943
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 2: show them what that actually looked like. Or off the mountain,

944
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: it's like we're calling, we're saying God is a faggot.

945
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 2: It's like it's exactly we're saying the.

946
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: Most wonderful and you want to sing it.

947
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 2: Afterwards, I started saying to myself, it's like, why do

948
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 2: Trey Parker and Matt Stone get to make their shitty

949
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: commentary and no matter what they say, it's like it's

950
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 2: it's sad, tired, sat tired, and so they can be

951
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 2: as transphobic because they want you set tired, sat tired,

952
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 2: don't get offended. It's s tire. I was like, well,

953
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 2: thank the gods that we are at this point now

954
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 2: that queer people are one, there's not the scarcity. Two,

955
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 2: we don't have to be a singular archetype of character.

956
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 2: We can. I described it as like when I played

957
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 2: a Doctor Who villain. It's like, I'm so glad I'm

958
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 2: here in this era when queer people are back to

959
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 2: being villains, because it was when we realized that queer

960
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 2: people being villains was a mockery, you know, of our characteristics,

961
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,919
Speaker 2: and that stopped being a thing. Well, now we're back

962
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 2: to queer people being actors and mainstream things. That's not

963
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 2: so crazy, So we can be villains again anyway. And

964
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 2: then you and the boys have mutual connection in UCP.

965
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 2: And it reminds me that like drag races this sisterhood

966
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 2: where we don't even have to be on the same season,

967
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 2: but those of us, like I said, the familiar faces,

968
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 2: like I mean think I could list them, but like

969
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 2: there's so many Drag queens doing things that I think

970
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 2: twenty years ago when I started Drag, I thought that's

971
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 2: surely not possible. When I started in college and gave

972
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 2: up drag briefly seasonally and told myself I had to

973
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 2: give up drag to be a serious actor, that was

974
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 2: a lie I told myself, By the way, Uh yeah, yeah,

975
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 2: I was just scared that if I got labeled as

976
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 2: a drag queen, that was an end of the versatility

977
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 2: of my acting. Then I eventually made the decision, you know, like, yeah,

978
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 2: they warn you about being pigeonholed, and they warned you like,

979
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 2: do you just want to be a character actor? Do

980
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 2: you want to have the ability to do everything? And

981
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I know how I have the ability

982
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 2: to do everything. But I also know I'm one hell

983
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 2: of a character actor. So if I put that foot forward,

984
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 2: at least I'm guaranteeing work. And I worked a lot

985
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 2: straight out of college, and I did a lot of

986
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 2: classical work that was stuff that like, that's a drag

987
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 2: queen playing mistress quickly and Henry the Fifth and half

988
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 2: the people to know it was a drag queen, you know.

989
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: So I've always been doing what I do. It's just

990
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 2: like I found my way in and drag and drag

991
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 2: race has allotted so many of us away into doing

992
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 2: something we were damn sure we could do. Like Bob

993
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 2: the Drag Queen says it like why she auditions. She

994
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 2: said she was. She's a stand up comedian and a

995
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 2: brilliant actor and lots of things. Right, Bob is an

996
01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 2: incredible human whom I love and lots of things. It

997
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 2: has lots of partners for all the things I'm using you,

998
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 2: But the many shades about the dragon, No, it's just

999
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 2: like again with the tangent. Yeah, yeah, I saw drag

1000
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 2: race and I said I could do that, But she

1001
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 2: also knew she could do a lot of other y

1002
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 2: And Drew says it all the time, like if God,

1003
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 2: and I'd say, if you know the goddesses, or if

1004
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 2: the universe or if whatever opens a fucking pathway, you like,

1005
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 2: take it. And if you know you have other things

1006
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 2: in you, you'll find a way to redirect yourself back there,

1007
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: even if it's just a hobby. You know, there's some

1008
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 2: people who have hobbies that have nothing to do with

1009
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 2: their work, and they love that. My work is my lifestyle,

1010
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 2: so it's hard to I mean, video games are my

1011
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: that I guess video games and you know what and

1012
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 2: that's why I won't do like I did like I'll

1013
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 2: do like a limited like I'm going to stream a

1014
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 2: video game for a charity or for whatever, you know, like,

1015
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 2: but you're not going to commodify it otherwise because exactly

1016
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 2: because that's mine and it has nothing to do with

1017
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 2: drag other than the fact that it inspires some of

1018
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 2: my own looks.

1019
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Well, I hope you've taken notes at home. We will

1020
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: move into I don't think so honey here now?

1021
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 2: Is this how long the episode was supposed to be?

1022
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 2: Or did I go over you because I'm sober boast

1023
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 2: and I always overtime, But actually I kept identifying when

1024
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 2: it was a tangent because we started use of the meds.

1025
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 2: I don't need to rehab. You can scroll back in

1026
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 2: the video because this is a TV show, and you

1027
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,439
Speaker 2: could just you know, listen to the episode once more,

1028
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 2: as I'm sure lots of you people do listen list.

1029
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 2: I do the same things over and over and over,

1030
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 2: identify new and new things to it every time.

1031
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to do my I don't think sony about

1032
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: something new in my life, which is frustrating. This is

1033
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: our sixty second segment. We take to rant and rave,

1034
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: rail wreck, things in culture that need be all those things.

1035
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: So here we go.

1036
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 3: I you have something, I have something. This is Matt Rogers.

1037
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 3: I don't think so many as times starts now.

1038
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so mony that you can develop new allergies.

1039
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: If I my entire life haven't had a thing, I

1040
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: don't want the thing at thirty five suddenly, What a

1041
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: random age for you to attack me.

1042
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 2: Goddess or Mother Nature, whoever.

1043
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: What I'm talking about is the fact that I sometimes

1044
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: have to put a little makeup on for our jobs,

1045
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 1: and I think that I around my eyes you can

1046
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: see I've developed some sort of contact dermatitis, roisation and

1047
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: more around my eyes. Suddenly I have a skin allergy.

1048
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 1: I gotta go hypo. I guess they're saying words to

1049
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: me like hypoallergenic. And I have always loved going places

1050
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: and them saying do you have any allergies and saying no.

1051
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: Suddenly You're gonna throw this barricade in front of me,

1052
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have to leap over it like the

1053
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: hand settler would. And I don't want to hurdle. I

1054
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: want to sit on the side and enjoy my life

1055
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: of not this rash. I don't think so, honey, and

1056
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: I have more time, huh.

1057
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 2: ITCHI itchy boo boo, honey, itchy itchy boo boo. That's

1058
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 2: one minute, all.

1059
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: Of a sudden, like it'll be this day after two

1060
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 1: days after my face will breakout suddenly, I have like

1061
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: sensitive skin.

1062
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 3: Why no, because our immune systems are Oh hate that transition.

1063
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: I what what do you mean immune systems? They do

1064
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: get worse, don't they.

1065
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 2: It's it's it's out of our hands.

1066
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 3: I don't know why we haven't evolved out of you know, makeup. Oh,

1067
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 3: you're probably right, I'm saying, I don't know.

1068
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: We need a psychologically and like emotionally and spiritually of

1069
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: all out of make up.

1070
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean mostly physiologically, like if all out to

1071
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 3: make it because otherwise, because it's just the allergy.

1072
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: That's you're right, you're right, exactly, okay, and either would work.

1073
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: We could physical physiologically age out, but we need we

1074
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 1: do like to have it for play. But yeah, no,

1075
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 1: for some reason, like it's just it's been happening, and

1076
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:19,479
Speaker 1: I guess I got to see my DRM.

1077
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 2: I think the answer to why late in life. At

1078
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 2: first I was had to respect that it was your time,

1079
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 2: because I wanted to be like, tell me all now.

1080
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: Like.

1081
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 2: No, I just my own thoughts, not like I have

1082
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 2: any real information. Just I think about this and why

1083
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 2: do you think they happen? Well, because there's so many things, yeah,

1084
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 2: being put in our stuff. We have no fucking idea.

1085
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you know we're having the microplastics conversation we are.

1086
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't even want to pull up this thread because

1087
01:06:56,120 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 2: then people weaponize that idea, which is true, but then

1088
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 2: skew it to be something else. I don't even need

1089
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 2: the list. No, we all know examples.

1090
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 3: I know that I have a PS five controller in

1091
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 3: my brain. That's the amount of microplastics.

1092
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: That you think that it's Yeah, they they say that

1093
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:20,919
Speaker 1: the amount of microplastics and oliver brains is like yeah,

1094
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: it's like it's solid matter. If they really would to

1095
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: put it together, it's Google crazy.

1096
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 3: I have at least quadrupled that based on the microwave

1097
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 3: meals that I eat for pleasure when I am stoned

1098
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 3: and I'm going to go home and eat likes.

1099
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you ever have a microwave asnia all.

1100
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 3: The time, my stofers and I've been coming back ever

1101
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 3: since the microplastics conversation is in this. No, I'm glad

1102
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 3: we're talking about this.

1103
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: I have an I come out of the class. I

1104
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: have another food thing, and that's my I don't think

1105
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: so okay, this is Bowen Yang's I don't think Sony

1106
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 1: his time starts now.

1107
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 2: I don't think so many eggs? What the fuck? What

1108
01:07:59,240 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 2: are you?

1109
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 3: If someone explained to me the egg of it all,

1110
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 3: it's a bunch of plasma and a yolk, and there's

1111
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 3: a film around that where you if you crack the egg,

1112
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 3: the membrane of the egg is the thing that makes

1113
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 3: it hard, so that if you have shards of egg

1114
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 3: in your.

1115
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 2: Container in which you are trying to whisk the egg, it.

1116
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 4: Is virtually impossible to take out. To extract a shard

1117
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 4: of eggshell, you need guess what, another piece of eggshell

1118
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 4: to scoop it out, But.

1119
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 2: Then that runs the risk of more eggshell going into

1120
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 2: the fucking thing that you go.

1121
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 3: No, I guess I'll try my leg with a spoon

1122
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 3: a chopstick, But then no, it is always it was

1123
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 3: never worth it. And this morning I've been practicing my

1124
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 3: one hand egg cracked because guess what, I turn myself

1125
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 3: on that's right, I get off to myself when I

1126
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 3: crack an egg with one hand, and then I looked

1127
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 3: like a damn fool eating a shard filled omelet while

1128
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 3: I could have been having something actually normal. Don't eat

1129
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 3: meat only eats, don't go anile based, only plant based.

1130
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:08,640
Speaker 2: That's what it is. I didn't know you. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, no, no,

1131
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 2: don't No, I could not agree with sit down. No,

1132
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 2: but that doesn't deserve a standing. Yes it does, because

1133
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 2: I have spent my whole life having to explain to

1134
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 2: people the shell. No, it's just like, first of all, yes,

1135
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,639
Speaker 2: you are correct on all of that, but the standing

1136
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 2: ovation was just to find another person who had that.

1137
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 1: With you.

1138
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 2: Eggs because they are such a popular food the way

1139
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 2: you scoff, well, because I had them today, right, Okay,

1140
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 2: That's what I've dealt with my whole life. Is everyone

1141
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 2: likes that, and do I like things where eggs are

1142
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 2: an ingredient of sur but eggs, dealing with them, eating

1143
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 2: them as the thing I don't like. It is horrible

1144
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 2: what they I also dealing with them, but I just don't.

1145
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,879
Speaker 2: I don't like the flavor, I don't like the texture,

1146
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 2: there's so many ways to prepare them. I've tried them all,

1147
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 2: don't like them. Don't write I don't like eggs. But

1148
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,839
Speaker 2: then I say that and then people think I'm vegan,

1149
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 2: so then I have to go on this whole fucking thing.

1150
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 2: And if they don't do that, then I go, I

1151
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 2: don't like eggs, and they go, you don't like eggs?

1152
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 2: Have you tried them scrambled? Have you tried them fried?

1153
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 2: And then I'm like, my god, please not again with

1154
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 2: the eggs. So most of the time when people and

1155
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 2: then it's like, you don't like eggs, are you vegan?

1156
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, I'm vegan because I'm like, this

1157
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 2: will save time. And then the breakfast I am delivered

1158
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 2: is nothing because they didn't have any It's a piece

1159
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 2: of bread.

1160
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: It's so shocking when when whenever anyone thinks that just

1161
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,839
Speaker 1: like a piece of bread is toast, Yeah, it's sliced

1162
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: piece of bread, is some toast culture numbers a.

1163
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:58,799
Speaker 2: Piece of bread is not toast.

1164
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 3: Activity that disappears when you say I don't want an

1165
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 3: egg in my thing, well, they.

1166
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 2: Go, oh, well, I guess we could do. We don't

1167
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 2: have any tofu It's like why. Well, I think it's

1168
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 2: because of the consistency. I don't think like the egg itself.

1169
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 2: So anyway, I feel like you couldn't like eggs themselves,

1170
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 2: but your humility to hate them oh that much at

1171
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 2: the same time, to hold that much capacity of hatred

1172
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 2: for eggs, I have finally found one other person who

1173
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 2: at least shares some kind of passion about that hatred.

1174
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: I have a bad comedy idea for you, guys. You

1175
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 1: and Jinks should sing Rihanna hate that love.

1176
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 2: You so you know that one.

1177
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 1: But like with eggs on the back, this is like

1178
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: a bad comedy idea. You do it like Little Field

1179
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen.

1180
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 2: But those were and I represent the hate and bow

1181
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 2: and represents the love.

1182
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And I feel like.

1183
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 2: It's just like nineties throwback. You guys would Ebony and Ivory.

1184
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 2: I do out with Jenks and you. But I do

1185
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 2: want to say this about the microplastics and theolinas, I

1186
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 2: said Michelina's anyway, I hate Selina and Michelin together Michea. Uh,

1187
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:44,599
Speaker 2: I hate them in college, yes, delicious, delicious, listen though

1188
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:51,719
Speaker 2: you were in Wicked. Yeah, those are like a dollar

1189
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 2: a pop. I'm sure they're like, what five bucks the pop?

1190
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:58,719
Speaker 2: Now they were a dollar a pop in college. YEA, yeah,

1191
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 2: you can probably get a deal. There's something about the

1192
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 2: point is something that.

1193
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 5: Is exactly like that that might cost more, but it

1194
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 5: will be so much kinder to your body and it

1195
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,719
Speaker 5: will satisfy all the same things.

1196
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,799
Speaker 2: And I'm not even saying healthy. I'm not even saying healthy.

1197
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 2: You have reached this point in your career that if

1198
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 2: you want to get a take home taken bake lasagna,

1199
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 2: or if you want to get something that you put

1200
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 2: in your oven, I know, you know what, you probably

1201
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,679
Speaker 2: have the money to get one of those what air fryers?

1202
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 2: The number? I mean, there's so many things you could

1203
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 2: really step up your game, is all I'm saying, unless

1204
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 2: what you need is the Michelinus, in which case I

1205
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 2: totally get because I have a can of dnty more

1206
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 2: beef stew for the very same reason. I don't need

1207
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 2: to say, but I know that there is going to

1208
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 2: be a day I just once again need to haste

1209
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 2: didn't he more beefs do? I used to do it

1210
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 2: on tour and Michelle Vassage would say, starting your day

1211
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 2: with a little didn'ty more there, and because it would

1212
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 2: be my name and I beating beefs spaghetti pantry would freak.

1213
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 2: I get them once in a blue moon. I need spaghetti.

1214
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 2: I just more d beef, but the microwave I make

1215
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 2: them on this still.

1216
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 3: There's still plant, but there's the plastic. I'm sure it's

1217
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 3: not processed in the same plan. My high horse. You

1218
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 3: can't avoid it.

1219
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 2: It's crazy and it's my probably favorite food. There's some more,

1220
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 2: there's some plastics. I mean, listen, we can't escape. I'm

1221
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 2: sorry I should have cleared it with you, but no, no,

1222
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 2: no no.

1223
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: I feel like you're used to what was really good, so.

1224
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 2: Worry. I just also got very self conscious that I

1225
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 2: might have not been intact. But you know, I'm embracing.

1226
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 2: Thank you. Okay, both, you can don't bleep it. I

1227
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 2: want people to know that it's an anxiety I deal with.

1228
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: Are you ready to do your other things?

1229
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 2: So honey? Hold on.

1230
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: Good yep, yeah, for sure? Sure that we are clear?

1231
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 2: Totally okay? Are you ready?

1232
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: Now?

1233
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,120
Speaker 2: This is jinx monsoons. I don't think so, honey. Her

1234
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 2: time starts now, I don't think, so, honey. Where has

1235
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 2: everyone's manners gone? Where? The fuck have all your manners gone?

1236
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:44,919
Speaker 2: Where have all your manners gone? Because I am so serious.

1237
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 2: I feel like if I try to empathize, and if

1238
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 2: I try to figure out why no one has any

1239
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 2: manners anymore, and I think it's the pandemic and we

1240
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 2: all had to, like, you know, socially isolate and you

1241
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 2: know you could. It was like, don't say to your friends.

1242
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 2: So we took that on. But like manners, like it's

1243
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 2: not going to kill you to leave the hold the

1244
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 2: door open for two seconds. You know, it's not going

1245
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 2: to kill you to not be a cunt to people

1246
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 2: while you walk down the street. You know what happened

1247
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 2: to like just common decency? Look up from your phone

1248
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 2: when you're having a conversation with people you know, and

1249
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 2: while I'm clearing the air, it's like, condoms, what's that

1250
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 2: all about? I paid for the research. I donated my

1251
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 2: money to that cancer research fund. It's a moot point anyway,

1252
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 2: I have diaphragms. Now, that's one minute.

1253
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 3: Whatever happened to good breeding and nice?

1254
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 4: Is?

1255
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: I hopefully both both?

1256
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 4: You know?

1257
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:50,679
Speaker 2: You know that I thought long and hard about everything

1258
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 2: we discussed today that I knew was on the docket.

1259
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: Right, and you wanted to really go thank you for

1260
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 1: I really thought long and hard about that, and I'm like,

1261
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 1: is this I'm a sound classiest?

1262
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:05,440
Speaker 2: Is this It's not about class, it's literally common decency.

1263
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 2: It's don't slam the door behind when you see me coming.

1264
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 2: I I don't think it's no small fault to our

1265
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 2: leaders showing no class or decorum. That now people feel

1266
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 2: like that's that's out.

1267
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 3: There's social blaze, and therefore everybody is like in their

1268
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 3: own little and.

1269
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 2: Listen in Times Square, I'm just trying to get through

1270
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 2: as quickly as possible. But I'm not being a count

1271
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 2: while i'm doing it. In fact, because I'm from the

1272
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest, I would rather go out into the street

1273
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,640
Speaker 2: and walk around a crowded sidewalk. Maybe I do it

1274
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 2: na huff if I'm late. I try not to be

1275
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 2: late because anyway, but I'm so passive aggressive that I'd

1276
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 2: rather walk around the issue than say excuse me, because

1277
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 2: I'm so scared it's going to come out excuse.

1278
01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 1: Me, and the case you wouldn't be having the but

1279
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 1: you'd be having good excuse me.

1280
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 2: Could you get five children wrangle just so that I

1281
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 2: can get to my rehearsal to want to say I'm

1282
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 2: a Broadway star. But that's what we're talking about, making me.

1283
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: Feel it so they can feel it as you swiftly

1284
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: pass by.

1285
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 2: So anyway, I have a personal investment in people, like

1286
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 2: remembering to just be decent to one another for many

1287
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 2: many reasons. One because I'm a person and we're all

1288
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 2: just people, and like, how the hell are you going

1289
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 2: to make life hell for everyone else? Like that's who

1290
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 2: you want to be. You want to add to the problem.

1291
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 2: You see a problem and you want to add to it.

1292
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 2: You want to press the door closed button. I'm in

1293
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 2: a building where I have never seen so many people

1294
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:53,480
Speaker 2: get on an elevator and press the door closed button frantically,

1295
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 2: like in front of you as you're about as you

1296
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 2: get into their one time. That sucks, But mostly it's

1297
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 2: like I in, I hold the door open for them

1298
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 2: to then watch them go. I'm like, it brings out brain.

1299
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 2: It's breaking my brain because I don't I used to joke, like,

1300
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 2: you know, people are like, how did you get to

1301
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 2: be so polite? Or whatever? And I'm like I just

1302
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 2: was raised right, and I.

1303
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 1: How'd you get to be so polite? To be so sweet?

1304
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:31,640
Speaker 2: How did you get to be so sweet? Very nasty?

1305
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 2: Won't you tell me there get to be so sweet?

1306
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 2: I could also do why Matt TV is a big part.

1307
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:45,680
