Speaker 1: And this is Karen Colgaraff.
Speaker 2: Hello, Karen and our We're in our cold, blustery homes.
Speaker 1: I had to put socks on.
Speaker 2: I had to wear. It's one of my old sweaters.
Speaker 1: I mean, what is this is Los Angeles? It's supposed
Speaker 1: to be eighty degrees.
Speaker 2: It's so funny that one week ago I was complaining.
Speaker 2: I just wanted it to be cold. I wanted to rain,
Speaker 2: and the minute it does. Also, you remember my boring
Speaker 2: lizard story. It's a Western fence lizard, by the way,
Speaker 2: Oh you looked it up. Yeah, there is one of those,
Speaker 2: and then a little black gecko, and they are just
Speaker 2: waiting outside my door, and it's because it's warmer in
Speaker 2: here than outside. I want to come They actually want
Speaker 2: to come in, and I was not. I was gonna
Speaker 2: leave and get coffee this morning, and they're just waiting.
Speaker 2: One of them tried to go in the crack when
Speaker 2: I opened the door, and I just gently scared it away.
Speaker 2: Like being locked in my house by these desperate lizards.
Speaker 1: Let them man cut up a little apple or something.
Speaker 2: Part of me want for some reason, I'm okay with
Speaker 2: a lizard once they're in the house, but I don't
Speaker 2: want to be letting in multiple because no of the fear.
Speaker 1: If they if they're bringing friends, it's going to turn
Speaker 1: into an insane lizard party exactly.
Speaker 2: It's it's a classic tale. It's a and I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't want to step on them. That's my fear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's that's a good fear, because then you
Speaker 1: will be murdering a little friend.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was traumatized by the disembodied layol. That was layol. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's start over, I said, layol instead of tail. Take two,
Speaker 2: Take two, disembodied tail.
Speaker 1: I thought, because you looked up the western fence lizard,
Speaker 1: that it's actually called a layl and that type and
Speaker 1: the genus my new knowledge as an ick theologist, that's fish.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people say salamander, but that's an amphibian.
Speaker 2: Just so you know, it's not a reptile. I've done
Speaker 2: a lot of research today.
Speaker 1: Guys, this Lizard podcast is probably one of the best
Speaker 1: versions of this podcast we've ever done.
Speaker 2: It's just the best way to start.
Speaker 1: It's going to be us and a bunch of nine
Speaker 1: year old boys talking about lizard.
Speaker 2: Get your jars out and don't forget to poke holes
Speaker 2: in the top.
Speaker 1: Show your mom.
Speaker 2: No, don't show your mom. She'll get mad because that
Speaker 2: was made for Berry Preserves. I'm very excited for our guests.
Speaker 1: Today as am I. She's played clubs and colleges so
Speaker 1: many country. We both know her from the comedy scene,
Speaker 1: from the podcasting scene, think pretty much any scene. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's there for it. We know her, we love her.
Speaker 1: You're about to please welcome ros hernandez Hi.
Speaker 3: I don't make a scene wherever I go.
Speaker 4: Okay, Chris, do you know about the raccoon man? He
Speaker 4: like feeds raccoons hot dogs in his backyard And there's
Speaker 4: like videos of him with like what seems like hundreds
Speaker 4: of raccoons climbing on top of him.
Speaker 3: That could be you. He sets up camera and he's
Speaker 3: got a huge following.
Speaker 2: You can lizards guy? Does? Is he local? And does
Speaker 2: he let the raccoons in his house?
Speaker 3: He's not local?
Speaker 4: No, But there is like a video I saw one
Speaker 4: time where the raccoons are like looking in the windows
Speaker 4: and it's honestly a horror film, but it's I don't
Speaker 4: know where he's.
Speaker 3: Located, but you know, I don't know many inspiration.
Speaker 2: All you need to do is watch this video and
Speaker 2: I'll send it to you both of a little raccoon
Speaker 2: on the back and riding a swimming dog. Both of
Speaker 2: them have rehearsed it and they're both in on it
Speaker 2: and it's the cutest thing you can And a wet
Speaker 2: raccoon once they're furs all tight because they're wet, and
Speaker 2: you realize they have tiny little hands like a monkey,
Speaker 2: little thumbs they can I swear, there's little fingernails.
Speaker 1: They have like human hands.
Speaker 2: It's the hands that pull me in with these wet raccoons.
Speaker 4: My father had a raccoon as a pet what seventies.
Speaker 4: He also had a monkey as a pet.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And one time we.
Speaker 4: Were driving and there was a mama raccoon with baby
Speaker 4: raccoons on the side of the road and he had
Speaker 4: me get out of the car with him, and he's
Speaker 4: just like, I know what I'm doing. I used to
Speaker 4: own one, and I was like, get away from them,
Speaker 4: and luckily nothing bad happened. But yeah, he's real comfortable
Speaker 4: around raccoons.
Speaker 3: Wow, And is there any.
Speaker 2: Reason we shouldn't be. I think in the back of
Speaker 2: our minds we all think a raccoon as going to
Speaker 2: leap through the air and tear our faces off.
Speaker 1: But right, well, they're very confident. Like I've told this
Speaker 1: story on this podcast easily twenty times, so I swear
Speaker 1: I won't do it again, although I can dog or yes,
Speaker 1: they like trying to come in. I thought there was
Speaker 1: a burglar at the back door, but it was actually
Speaker 1: a raccoon trying to jam his way through the locked
Speaker 1: cat door so he could eat the cat food. Right,
Speaker 1: And when I got back there, I turned the light
Speaker 1: on and kicked the door so the raccoon would go away,
Speaker 1: and he just went. His body stayed where it was,
Speaker 1: and then it's just his upper body leaned back as
Speaker 1: if to say, what the fun? Yeah, like I was
Speaker 1: in the rock.
Speaker 2: No confident. They act like a professional wedding crasher, just like,
Speaker 2: Oh I belong here, I know the bride.
Speaker 3: Right to my house.
Speaker 1: I just I forgot my key. I was just trying
Speaker 1: to get in through the cat door.
Speaker 2: I live here. You do know where roommates, right?
Speaker 1: I washed my hands in this water bowl.
Speaker 2: All the time, they've duplicated your keys.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen them like wash their hands or
Speaker 1: wash the fruit they're about to eat.
Speaker 3: Oh that's the cute, those little hands.
Speaker 2: I know it's the hands.
Speaker 3: I can't stop looking.
Speaker 4: This is my first time wearing these glasses, which are
Speaker 4: full on comedy glasses. These are the Jimmy Glit collections.
Speaker 4: They're large, black frame glasses, square, I think because I'm
Speaker 4: six foot one. I think I thought like, if I
Speaker 4: get the world's largest glasses, it'll.
Speaker 3: Make me like a little bit more petite.
Speaker 4: But they're just like falling off of my face because
Speaker 4: they weigh eight pounds.
Speaker 3: They're huge.
Speaker 2: They look good. I really like them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they look very high fashion. It's kind of a
Speaker 1: New York. It has a New York.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's like what's that woman iris iris app full. Yes,
Speaker 4: that's kind of how I feel with these big, huge
Speaker 4: things on.
Speaker 1: Your iris apples, Like niece, yes state, who's come down
Speaker 1: into the city to live in her apartment.
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh huh, like a little wreck babe breaking in
Speaker 4: the back door to get your glasses.
Speaker 2: They are fashion glass. They would maybe become comedy glasses
Speaker 2: if you wore them on stage, like I'm I need mine.
Speaker 2: The other day, I couldn't read my set list. On
Speaker 2: my set list, I wrote down some jokes and I
Speaker 2: it actually was a problem. I had to do old
Speaker 2: jokes because I was looking at blurry.
Speaker 3: Oh no no, But I don't.
Speaker 2: Want to wear glasses on stage because any glasses become
Speaker 2: comedy glasses. Yeah, that is, even if they're not Jimmy glicky.
Speaker 1: Very true. Also, but I think I remember, I think
Speaker 1: Brandy Posey was the first person I saw to have
Speaker 1: oversized like reading glasses or actual glasses as opposed to
Speaker 1: oversized sunglasses, right, And it was kind of shocking. But
Speaker 1: I was like, but Brandy's the girl that I've always
Speaker 1: known to have the pastel hair first, or the shag
Speaker 1: haircut first, or she's very cutting edge. So then I
Speaker 1: was just like, well, this is what's coming. Like I
Speaker 1: basically took the cue and I was like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: I'm like twenty five years older than you, so I
Speaker 1: can do this in a little while. And I just
Speaker 1: got these glasses. And when I got these ones, I
Speaker 1: thought they were I thought they were.
Speaker 3: Giganticl it's got great glasses.
Speaker 1: We've done our work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just went the regular Michael Douglas falling down frames.
Speaker 2: They're horn rims.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they're great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love them classicat Yeah, you guys, I have
Speaker 4: to tell you, I've been listening to you for since
Speaker 4: I don't know, a long long time, really long time.
Speaker 4: I feel like, Okay, I saw this movie one time
Speaker 4: and it was called I want to say, it's called
Speaker 4: rock Star, and it's with Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston
Speaker 4: and Mark Wahlberg is in this cover band and then
Speaker 4: the lead singer of this famous band I forget why,
Speaker 4: but for some reason he's not in the band anymore.
Speaker 3: And then Mark.
Speaker 4: Wahlberg gets like, you used to live his dream. That's
Speaker 4: me right now, Like I'm Mark Wahlberg in rock Star.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, this is my opportunity. I'm
Speaker 4: in the thing.
Speaker 3: That I listened to all the time. This is crazy.
Speaker 4: I've listened to you guys like I remember one time
Speaker 4: I drove like across country or something and I just
Speaker 4: listened to you guys for our Really, you you've.
Speaker 3: Been in my ears a lot.
Speaker 1: That means the world.
Speaker 2: I thought we met when you were doing your show
Speaker 2: at the improving your.
Speaker 4: Well, you guys have both been on my podcast about
Speaker 4: going But yeah, I think maybe I had already met
Speaker 4: you guys, But tell my listen. I can't remember, but
Speaker 4: I don't know. I always think about My favorite episodes
Speaker 4: are Chris's Dad and Karen was it your niece?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: A long time ago?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, so funny.
Speaker 3: The family episodes alone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to revisit Chris.
Speaker 1: We're talking to an actual listener.
Speaker 3: This is I know. I feel like I want a
Speaker 3: sweet steaks or something.
Speaker 2: You're sweet. Yeah that I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I love that. That's you're actually a dinosaur. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: land on dinosaur.
Speaker 3: I'm a dinard die hard.
Speaker 1: That's better diehards, especially if you say it like that
Speaker 1: you're mad about it. I'm a die hard, God damn it.
Speaker 2: Yes, so rods have you officially you are no longer
Speaker 2: going by Ros dres False, which I always love your stage.
Speaker 2: Was there a lawsuit? Did you just grow tired of it?
Speaker 2: Please don't say you don't like Ross Dress for Last
Speaker 2: the store anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 4: I never really was a fan of I always liked
Speaker 4: the name Roz a lot and.
Speaker 1: That yes another glasses.
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know. I just love the name.
Speaker 4: I feel like it's just very like strong, no nonsense lady.
Speaker 3: And then when I started being a drag queen, I
Speaker 3: was like.
Speaker 4: Ras and then I just like one day I was
Speaker 4: doing Golden Girls Casita del Campo and somebody said the
Speaker 4: name Roz and then I was like ros Driz Felez
Speaker 4: and then I just like stuck. And then it just
Speaker 4: kind of I just started like getting paid with that name,
Speaker 4: like I don't know, it just like became a business.
Speaker 4: And the only time I had been to Ross Dress
Speaker 4: for Less was I bought a walk like a cooking
Speaker 4: walka time there. I've since been there a few times.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's like kind of misleading because people always
Speaker 4: thought I liked the store. It's more because I didn't
Speaker 4: have a lot of money to like buy fancy clothes.
Speaker 4: And so I was like, oh it sounds it makes
Speaker 4: lets people know that I don't I dress cheap, Like
Speaker 4: everything I wear is from like a thrift store.
Speaker 2: When I'm skinna know you got it at Ross. I
Speaker 2: uh day. Plus, if you're not going there for betting,
Speaker 2: for this is a commercial right now. If you're not
Speaker 2: going there for bathroom betting pillows and like you said,
Speaker 2: walks and kitchen supplies that you didn't know you needed,
Speaker 2: shower caddies, underwear single pairs of underwear that are out
Speaker 2: of the package and just hanging on a hangar. No one,
Speaker 2: I know it's from Ross and maybe from the floor
Speaker 2: at Ross. They don't have people there cleaning up. It's
Speaker 2: just mayhem. But I live near one, and I knew
Speaker 2: the day.
Speaker 3: I knew that.
Speaker 2: On Wednesdays they got their shipment of things from like
Speaker 2: pac Soun, like the skateboard clothing, like things I'm interested in.
Speaker 2: And so I would go there and look at Jews.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they'd have a Nixon watch. I'd go in, I'd
Speaker 2: look where, No, they don't have anything today. I'd leave
Speaker 2: empty handed. Most of the time. I'm just a real
Speaker 2: Ross head.
Speaker 3: And but you can get some deal.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's hard. You can't argue with Ross No.
Speaker 4: Then I then I became like a I guess like
Speaker 4: full on trans lady like two years ago, and so
Speaker 4: now I just go by Ross Fernandez, which is funny
Speaker 4: because I've been dealing today with name change, like legal
Speaker 4: name change stuff, which is so annoying, and I was thinking.
Speaker 4: I was telling my friend that I was changing I
Speaker 4: was dealing with the name change stuff today and he
Speaker 4: was like, so your name's no longer Ross dress for last,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, well, like, is that what I'm changing
Speaker 4: it from?
Speaker 1: That was yeah, yeah, I think because people, I mean
Speaker 1: now thank you to RuPaul and his industry people are
Speaker 1: very aware of the game of drag queen names of
Speaker 1: the kind of funny fun you know, like it's about
Speaker 1: something or whatever. And to me, honestly, your drag name
Speaker 1: was always my favorite because it's really funny and it's
Speaker 1: it is like that thing where you're kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 1: what if, what if I'm going to be the discount
Speaker 1: version or what if? I like, yeah, that's what I'm.
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's just it was also really hard to spell,
Speaker 4: and I can't tell you how many times, like either
Speaker 4: a flyer had my name yeah or wrong, or someone
Speaker 4: would bring me on stage because it's it's also, to
Speaker 4: their credit, not a real last name, so I can't
Speaker 4: blame them for spelling dreadfu less wrong. There's also a
Speaker 4: thousand different ways you could spell it, so it's easier.
Speaker 4: I mean, Hernandez is my real last name, and so
Speaker 4: I just go by that now and then I don't
Speaker 4: really do drag. I just mainly do stand up in podcasting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of an amazing stuff, like a trajectory.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you might be the first
Speaker 1: person I've ever met to go down that story arc.
Speaker 1: I guess so, and I should we should talk about
Speaker 1: this for a second because when I saw you and
Speaker 1: Sam at the Lady for Lady ten year anniversary, Ros
Speaker 1: and Sam were to the first people I saw when
Speaker 1: I walked in the gate, and I literally looked. And
Speaker 1: also it was that thing where it was one of
Speaker 1: the first parties I'd been to in three years or whatever,
Speaker 1: so I was kind of like, and be cool, but
Speaker 1: don't be too cool and did it. You know, I
Speaker 1: was doing all that weird shit you do as you
Speaker 1: walk into the and then I saw you guys, but
Speaker 1: I recognize Sam, but Roz. I was just like, Sam
Speaker 1: is standing with this beautiful business lady, like who is this?
Speaker 1: And then so we start talking and I do that
Speaker 1: very like anxiety based thing where I literally was like
Speaker 1: make it over to them, like all you have to
Speaker 1: do is make it there and you'll be safe. So
Speaker 1: I like land and just start talking to Sam, and
Speaker 1: then I figure he'll introduce me to you. And then
Speaker 1: finally when I stop like rattling on, I look over
Speaker 1: and you look at me and then just kind of
Speaker 1: like kind of tilt your head and you go, Karen,
Speaker 1: it's ross that. It's the funniest, Like it was what.
Speaker 4: Your hair is so sure, it's it's that a foot
Speaker 4: and a half longer, smaller than your hat exactly.
Speaker 1: You had like a very tasteful chignon and like a
Speaker 1: beautiful kind of fancy sun dress. And yeah, I was
Speaker 1: just like I was so embarrassed. But then I was
Speaker 1: also like, oh wow, but I didn't really I just
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 3: I know, I haven't see you guys in so long,
Speaker 3: either of you. Yeah, but yeah, this is me. It's
Speaker 3: been good.
Speaker 4: I've been doing so much more stand up and it's
Speaker 4: just like, everything just feels so much better. And I
Speaker 4: don't know, I had a fun time being a drag queen,
Speaker 4: but I'm just there's no more glitter. I'm picking up
Speaker 4: out of my like saying, you know, there's no rhinestones.
Speaker 4: I constantly step off and there's a lot of plus,
Speaker 4: it's way less.
Speaker 2: It's like being in a you know, being in a
Speaker 2: band and going to stand up and realizing you don't yeah, costuming,
Speaker 2: meeting with other people, rehearsing.
Speaker 4: I was spending like two and a half hours getting
Speaker 4: ready just to go do ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Of free stand up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is.
Speaker 4: Not a good business model. That's how I was living
Speaker 4: up until the pandemic.
Speaker 1: So how have your sets been?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think good. I don't.
Speaker 4: I feel the best I've ever felt amazing stage. That's like,
Speaker 4: I just I don't know, everything just feels so much better.
Speaker 3: I think that. Uh, there was a lot of people
Speaker 3: just kind of like.
Speaker 4: Because you know, I would do like the improv and
Speaker 4: like clubs and stuff, and people would just they did
Speaker 4: not know what to do with me, with my gigantic wigs.
Speaker 4: Now they have to deal with these gigantic glasses and
Speaker 4: that's about it. But yeah, it was just a lot,
Speaker 4: I think for people to take in, and it still
Speaker 4: is sometimes but I don't know, it's just it's just
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's just better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's harder to people don't expect you were in
Speaker 2: full character and now you're being yourself. Of course it
Speaker 2: feels better.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they could say my name. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1: People immediately are able to pronounce your last name and
Speaker 1: spell it correctly. It's pretty calm.
Speaker 2: How serious are you about acting? Because I just watched
Speaker 2: Three Queens and you're really good in it. Everyone is three.
Speaker 2: I just watched it. I well see, I'm telling you
Speaker 2: it was I mean, the Joe were great. It's I
Speaker 2: want to see more of it. It seemed like a
Speaker 2: pitch for it, a show about you being bank robbers.
Speaker 3: Right, Oh my god, that's so funny. Yeah.
Speaker 4: That was a short film that I was in. Every Yeah,
Speaker 4: that was fun. I mainly have done like a lot
Speaker 4: of like campy drag queen theater and stuff like that,
Speaker 4: which I really love, like like Golden Girls and like
Speaker 4: Peaches Christ and like all these like parody plays and
Speaker 4: like silly things like that. But I started taking acting
Speaker 4: classes over zoom during the pandemic, So I don't know,
Speaker 4: I'm kind of getting out there a little bit, you know,
Speaker 4: pop up in a commercial or something here in that.
Speaker 1: Yes, wait, can you tell me what, like is an
Speaker 1: acting class during the pandemic like an acting class on zoom?
Speaker 1: Is there still like the intensity Like is the teacher
Speaker 1: really intense? Do you have to do scenes from your
Speaker 1: like off?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I took so many different acting classes during the pandemic,
Speaker 4: so I have like a wide variety of different teachers.
Speaker 4: I was just like I had so much time on
Speaker 4: my hands. I literally went from being a drag queen
Speaker 4: five to seven nights a week to just nothing, and
Speaker 4: so I was just like I have to perform and
Speaker 4: do stuff. So I just took like a ton of
Speaker 4: acting classes, and like some of them were like they
Speaker 4: send you the sides and then you have to do
Speaker 4: like your own self tape and then everyone watches it
Speaker 4: during class. And then a lot of them were just
Speaker 4: like acting over zoom, which is also really hard. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I still am not like I like podcasting over zoom,
Speaker 4: but like, yeah, I was asked not that long ago
Speaker 4: to do a stand up show over zoom I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, they're still lingering zoom comedy shows. I don't
Speaker 2: want to do them ever again.
Speaker 3: Wait, have you guys had any ghosts stories since then?
Speaker 3: Whatever happened to your ghost?
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about your ago. I'm
Speaker 2: it's been kind of uneventful here. I just had to
Speaker 2: paint shut my haunted ironing board door that still I avoid.
Speaker 2: I've covered it with photos and personalized the door, but
Speaker 2: I will not open it because that seemed to be When.
Speaker 3: Do you think it's gonna help you?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 1: Can you synopsize this? I've never heard this story, Chris.
Speaker 4: No, Well, I heard about your the ghost on this
Speaker 4: podcast like a couple.
Speaker 3: Of years ago.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Chris was sorry to call you, but he
Speaker 4: definitely told the story on this podcast that I'm now on.
Speaker 4: I really and then I was like, Chris, you have
Speaker 4: to come on mine.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Remember Caromen when I first moved in and there
Speaker 2: was a lot of bumps in the night in my
Speaker 2: kitchen and then I realized things were As I was
Speaker 2: hanging up curtains and things like that, things would go
Speaker 2: missing and I'd have to go outside and say, please
Speaker 2: put it back where I need the paint tape so
Speaker 2: I can finish and then the tape would be there.
Speaker 2: It seemed like I really got the impression it was
Speaker 2: a kid that was hiding things and trying to be funny. Okay,
Speaker 2: but it was really scary, and it was right when
Speaker 2: I moved in, and it was very noticeable, and I
Speaker 2: thought I was going crazy. The lizards, it was the
Speaker 2: whole time, multiple lizards and a trench coat.
Speaker 3: It's just the lizards.
Speaker 1: I must have just been listening to you tell that
Speaker 1: story and only hearing the nouns and thinking of what
Speaker 1: joke I can make of, like ironing board. Now I
Speaker 1: got nothing for that, just classic comics listening to.
Speaker 4: And then Karen has the most epic ghost story of
Speaker 4: all time as.
Speaker 3: Well, which I mean, so I've been doing this.
Speaker 4: Podcast for like four years or something, and I always
Speaker 4: tell people, you know, ghost stories don't have a shelf life,
Speaker 4: so you could people could go back if they wanted
Speaker 4: to hear Karen's when you were on. It was when
Speaker 4: I was recording in my shower because the pandemic had
Speaker 4: just hit and I didn't know. So I don't think
Speaker 4: it sounds the best it's ever sounded, But that story
Speaker 4: is so scary.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm very proud of that story, and I
Speaker 1: was actually thinking of it. I remember when you got
Speaker 1: booked and then that that is my uh, you know,
Speaker 1: my memory bubble of you. It was like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: here's all the memories of ross. The time I stared
Speaker 1: at her straight in the ice and pretended I didn't
Speaker 1: know where you know that, and the time I was
Speaker 1: on our podcast, but I was actually thinking about what
Speaker 1: I could sign up for on the internet to look
Speaker 1: at old police cases in Sacramento to figure out if
Speaker 1: that crime actually if a crime happened in that house.
Speaker 2: On the Yeah, I don't know what I don't. You're
Speaker 2: going to have to retell your ghost story too, because
Speaker 2: I do not know.
Speaker 1: What the quickest version that. Yeah, that's true. I've never
Speaker 1: I definitely never told this story on this podcast because
Speaker 1: it would take fucking forever. But essentially, when I was
Speaker 1: in college, I just dropped out or been kicked out.
Speaker 1: I lived in a house with three girls, and weird
Speaker 1: things started happening. But we were all so kind of
Speaker 1: like drunk and living our narcissistic lives that no one
Speaker 1: was really tracking the fact that, like anytime someone spent
Speaker 1: the night and they slept on our couch. They would
Speaker 1: complain about people doing the dishes in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night, like we never, we never all looked at
Speaker 1: each other and went, why do people keep saying that?
Speaker 1: Because we just for like all theater students that were like,
Speaker 1: listen to me. And then one night, my roommate was
Speaker 1: sleeping on the couch in the front I'm sorry once
Speaker 1: I start, I can't stop telling the story. But she
Speaker 1: was sleeping on the couch in the front room, and
Speaker 1: I had this really scary dream. But it shouldn't have
Speaker 1: been scary because it was just a mom and a
Speaker 1: daughter standing on the front porch of our house and
Speaker 1: I hear them talking. So I went out of my
Speaker 1: room to go see who was at the front door,
Speaker 1: and then I observed them talking to each other and
Speaker 1: doing that scared me really badly. And then so I
Speaker 1: woke up and I was like, what a creepy dream.
Speaker 1: I opened the door to my bedroom onto the front
Speaker 1: room where my friend is sleeping, and I wake her up,
Speaker 1: and she wakes up with like a start, like huh,
Speaker 1: And then I go, are you okay? And she goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I just had the creepiest dream, and I go was
Speaker 1: it about a mother and a daughter on our front porch?
Speaker 1: And she started crying and goes, how did you know that?
Speaker 1: And like freaking out and we had the same dream.
Speaker 1: So then basically I was home by myself like that
Speaker 1: next weekend, everybody went home and I was in this
Speaker 1: house by myself, and I got hugged by a ghost essentially, yes, was.
Speaker 2: It a motherly or daughterly hug?
Speaker 1: No, it was it was like. My theory is that
Speaker 1: I was in the pis like the room or the
Speaker 1: position or the area or whatever where I think the
Speaker 1: little girl was because the arms were really big that
Speaker 1: went around me as I laid with my back to
Speaker 1: the room, staring at the wall with my eyes really wide.
Speaker 3: Wait, but then, who do you think huggs you?
Speaker 1: I think I think the man who owned the house
Speaker 1: hurt hurt them somehow, like I think.
Speaker 3: They thought Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: From above and behind At the same time. It was, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was very weird and it was very specific.
Speaker 1: So it was like it was the kind of thing
Speaker 1: where and it was just a creepy house and it
Speaker 1: was just bad vibes basically all for a year. But
Speaker 1: before that, I of course, always have enjoyed scary things
Speaker 1: and creepy things and that can't be true type of things,
Speaker 1: but I'd never experienced anything to make me go like
Speaker 1: ghosts are real or those experiences are real. And then
Speaker 1: that happened, and then just ever since then, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I believe anyone who tells any kind of story like that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's very common.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And in red respect, I think I did experience
Speaker 2: a lot of ghost things and just ignore them, like
Speaker 2: you said, out of narcissism or just not being open
Speaker 2: to that. But what does surprise me is now that
Speaker 2: I am open to it, I can't get a goddamn
Speaker 2: ghost to give me the time of day.
Speaker 3: I know that's my experience.
Speaker 4: Once I had a podcast about them, they're like, we
Speaker 4: don't want to be on your podcast.
Speaker 1: Don't talk about it.
Speaker 2: I only like converting non believers. But once you're into it,
Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, whatever all I did is burn some
Speaker 2: sage and this kid ran back into the ironing board door.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll open it up. They still Halloween, but I.
Speaker 1: Mean, I wonder if that's what it is. It's like
Speaker 1: if they're looking for some kind of acknowledgments. Or tension
Speaker 1: or something like that. That's the you gave them.
Speaker 3: You got to play hard to get. Yeah, you can't
Speaker 3: be too thirsty. They don't like it.
Speaker 1: They don't.
Speaker 4: That's what I've found. But yeah, because I mean, I've
Speaker 4: done so much ghost hunting and like looking for contact
Speaker 4: and ever since I started this podcast, and it's hard
Speaker 4: out there. It's hard to get a ghost to give
Speaker 4: me any attention.
Speaker 1: Did you go Have you gone to like those places
Speaker 1: that are famous, like a famous bed and breakfast that's
Speaker 1: haunted the.
Speaker 3: Most haunted place?
Speaker 4: Isn't every place the most haunted place in all of America? Yeah,
Speaker 4: I've been to a lot of different places, like Queen.
Speaker 2: Mary that haunted that boat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've stayed in like a haunted bed and breakfast
Speaker 4: and god, so many different places, like different houses, like
Speaker 4: people have invited me to.
Speaker 3: I hope, I hope that there's good.
Speaker 4: I'm always like this is They're just gonna be like a
Speaker 4: man in a bathrobe, Like yeah, I don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 4: like I've had some things happened the past few years,
Speaker 4: but like the creepiest oh my gosh, Okay, I did
Speaker 4: stay in a haunted bed and breakfast and I did
Speaker 4: leave in the middle of the night, just by yourself. No,
Speaker 4: I went with my friend another drag okay, and he
Speaker 4: was like not that into this was probably god like,
Speaker 4: probably like at least three years ago now, was definitely
Speaker 4: before the pandemic, and he was not a believer. And
Speaker 4: he literally just like fell asleep when it was a
Speaker 4: reasonable time to go to sleep, and I thought we
Speaker 4: were going to like stay up all night and be
Speaker 4: like spooky. Yeah, and long story shore, I believe that
Speaker 4: I had the blankets over my head. I was so scared,
Speaker 4: and I believe that I felt somebody take their hand
Speaker 4: and like pull the blank because we were in like
Speaker 4: the haunted room, yes, like the actual like what and
Speaker 4: I felt like somebody take their hand and like put
Speaker 4: their fingers underneath the blanket and like pull it over
Speaker 4: like over my head, like from over my head, like
Speaker 4: you know, pull it off my head.
Speaker 2: Which is classic. I thought you in movies.
Speaker 4: I thought it was my friend. So oh, so I
Speaker 4: like helped him, you know. I was like I'm still up,
Speaker 4: you know, and I pull over and he was sounded.
Speaker 4: Who So that was pretty terrifying. I don't like anything
Speaker 4: that's like that, like physical touch but I'm also I
Speaker 4: don't know. As time goes on, I've heard I've literally
Speaker 4: heard like thousands of ghost stories, and I've talked to
Speaker 4: like experts of people from those TV shows and just
Speaker 4: like all all kinds of people, and I get more
Speaker 4: skeptical of my own self, Like as time goes on,
Speaker 4: where I'm just like, was.
Speaker 3: That in my head? I knew it was haunted.
Speaker 2: I don't especially if someone your friend is sleeping next
Speaker 2: to you and not experiencing it, it'll make you doubt.
Speaker 2: Because I had a similar ice skate in a friend's
Speaker 2: basement in Minneapolis, sleeping on an L shaped couch with
Speaker 2: a comedie Isaac Whittie. He knows this story. We were
Speaker 2: both had our heads in the same corner of the
Speaker 2: couch and our body is going away from each other
Speaker 2: like an L shape, you get it. We were talking,
Speaker 2: but he was falling asleep.
Speaker 3: Slumber party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were totally having a slumber parties. We were laughing,
Speaker 2: We're like, Okay, I'm really going to go to sleep now,
Speaker 2: and then we'd someone would make a hilarious fart noise
Speaker 2: and another hour of getting Yeah, it was that. We
Speaker 2: were doing all the classic kids but then he goes,
Speaker 2: hey Chris, and his he was down by my feet,
Speaker 2: like I'm like, why are you on the floor? And
Speaker 2: I was like, what are you doing down there? And
Speaker 2: He's like what and he was bat He never had
Speaker 2: left where I just heard, hey, Chris, down by my
Speaker 2: feet and it was so obvious and clear that I ran.
Speaker 2: I ran upstairs and I went outside the house. I
Speaker 2: couldn't even be in the house anymore because if I
Speaker 2: pulled washed over my body it was all the things
Speaker 2: that you see in movies, like my neck hair stood
Speaker 2: up and but I it was the scariest thing ever.
Speaker 2: I don't think I mentioned that on your podcast, goes.
Speaker 4: No he did it, because I remember you also talking
Speaker 4: about painting a place in Austin.
Speaker 2: That yeah, wow, good memory. And that was a that
Speaker 2: is a if you're like looked up haunted ghost tours.
Speaker 2: That corner on Congress in sixth Street, I believe is
Speaker 2: like the Driscoll Hotel, which is famously haunted and Kitty
Speaker 2: corner from that was that place Buffalo Billiard's. I was
Speaker 2: painting and that was all classic sing Peripherally, something went
Speaker 2: by me and not paying attention because I'm on a
Speaker 2: ladder painting a starry night ceiling and just blowing on
Speaker 2: my neck like all the ghost hackiest ghost tricks. And
Speaker 2: but like Karen said with the dishes, I heard it
Speaker 2: was Christmas time. I was painting Christmas stuff on the
Speaker 2: windows also, and I heard people partying, like drinking, cheersing.
Speaker 2: And then the manager of this restaurant showed up at
Speaker 2: like ten in the morning and said, sorry, I locked
Speaker 2: you in. You can come and go now if you
Speaker 2: want to go eat something. I just can't leave anyone
Speaker 2: here alone without locking the door. And I'm like, oh, no,
Speaker 2: there's people decorating in the next room. And he's like, oh, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: there isn't that's sight. You heard party noises. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: multiple people partying. He's like, yeah, there's place that's just
Speaker 2: really haunted and that. Even then, I'm like, oh, you're lying.
Speaker 2: But then he told me all the little things that
Speaker 2: he had to deal with in this like dust, a
Speaker 2: layer of dust on the table and he had to
Speaker 2: go turn on a light and then the dust would
Speaker 2: dissipate all of this stuff. I'm like, yeah, right, But
Speaker 2: I was getting so scared because I wasn't open back
Speaker 2: then to this kind of thing. But yeah, that.
Speaker 3: Is a famous What was the place called the.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's there anymore. Buffalo Billiards was the
Speaker 2: downstairs bar? Yeah yeah it was so I painted. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: good drag name.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was it haunted by the guy from Silence
Speaker 3: at the line where'd you fuck me?
Speaker 1: It put in the basket?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was little lotion baskets throughout this place. It
Speaker 2: didn't make sense, but yeah, very scary, very scary.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm like Halloween just ended, and I mean
Speaker 4: it's still we're still going.
Speaker 3: I was literally today.
Speaker 4: It's just like researching haunted places for an episode I'm
Speaker 4: recording tomorrow. Like I'm just I'm fully in this world
Speaker 4: of ghosts that haunted places. Yeah, but it's like a
Speaker 4: sad time for me. Like the week after Halloween. It's
Speaker 4: always like, don't forget about me, guys, Like I'm still
Speaker 4: I'm still doing that.
Speaker 1: Hey, I was doing it all year, I was doing
Speaker 1: it in April.
Speaker 4: I'm doing it because I get real popular for like
Speaker 4: six weeks and then yeah, yeah, don't forgive about me.
Speaker 2: Have you gone with like ghost hunters that have like
Speaker 2: equipment and in.
Speaker 3: Full and stuff. Yeah?
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, I think it's I think that stuff is fun.
Speaker 4: I mean it's like fishing. You just kind of like
Speaker 4: sit around until someone's like I just heard something like
Speaker 4: I didn't hear anything, and then everyone kind of freaks
Speaker 4: out for a minute and then go back to sitting
Speaker 4: around like you know, it's.
Speaker 3: But I think it's fun. I like going.
Speaker 4: I just like going places, like being invited places I like.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I like because I like to watch those shows, and
Speaker 4: mainly just because I like to see like Middle America
Speaker 4: and places I will never actually go, Like I like to.
Speaker 3: See these little old saloons and stuff. I think it's fun.
Speaker 1: That's what I love is the stories, like when they're
Speaker 1: like my friend lives in Jerome, Arizona, and it's this
Speaker 1: really oh that place right, it's very haunted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's that house.
Speaker 1: There's a it was a hospital and then they had
Speaker 1: a wave of whatever, you know, cholera, one of those
Speaker 1: horrible like eighteen hundreds diseases. Everyone in the town dies
Speaker 1: and then all the babies were left like by themselves.
Speaker 1: Did you hear that one? So it's like it's there's
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 3: Place that is it's now a hotel.
Speaker 1: Yes, When I went there. It was not it had
Speaker 1: not been redone, but it was like the most haunted
Speaker 1: place in Arizona. Whatever. I'm not sure, did you go there.
Speaker 4: I did go there like a year ago, and okay, oh,
Speaker 4: I was recording, yeah, a video. Yes, I was in
Speaker 4: the bathroom by myself, and I was just like because
Speaker 4: I thought the bathroom was interesting because it was like
Speaker 4: there was like some old timey like I don't know,
Speaker 4: shower or radiator, I don't know what it was.
Speaker 3: I have the video on my phone and I heard
Speaker 3: and I have it recorded. I could find it and
Speaker 3: play it for you.
Speaker 4: There's a voice that I've I've had people from those
Speaker 4: TV shows listen to it. It sounds like it says
Speaker 4: I pooped here.
Speaker 3: I swear.
Speaker 2: I love when they have jokes.
Speaker 4: I swear this was in a bathroom and the voice
Speaker 4: said that you know what you're looking at me?
Speaker 1: Funny and play it.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm gonna find it.
Speaker 1: Find did it? Play it? I love that.
Speaker 2: I just love the idea of a place being haunted
Speaker 2: by babies, like at night, you just here crying, and
Speaker 2: that's so scary scary.
Speaker 1: But I there's a very good chance I'm combining two stories.
Speaker 1: But that's I'm almost positive. Do you remember that rose
Speaker 1: from that?
Speaker 3: I remember the baby story. I just remember that it
Speaker 3: used to be a hospital, but maybe.
Speaker 1: Well, it was like every like people in the town
Speaker 1: started getting sick and so then people had to go
Speaker 1: to the hospital. But then the people at the hospital
Speaker 1: were dying, just like the patients were dying. And then
Speaker 1: after a while there was just like abandoned babies at
Speaker 1: the hospital.
Speaker 4: It's a horrible so such a cool town. It's like
Speaker 4: almost like Cobblestone or something like. It's like a little
Speaker 4: village up in the mountains, and everything is all about ghosts,
Speaker 4: Like they've got ghosts dealers going on. There's like a
Speaker 4: restaurant I think it's called the Haunted Hamburger like everything.
Speaker 2: It's just like I was trying to think of it, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the ghost Hamburger place, Haunted Hamburgers?
Speaker 3: Was it good? What were you doing there?
Speaker 2: I just went there as an Arizona traveling visit. I
Speaker 2: think I was doing stand up somewhere and someone told
Speaker 2: me to go to Jerome and told me to look
Speaker 2: at that hospital, and just driving by it and looking
Speaker 2: in the windows, I think I saw a curtain move
Speaker 2: because of an oscillating fan, probably, but I was freaked
Speaker 2: out just driving by it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yes, I also used to watch those ghost hunting TV
Speaker 1: shows because, like you're saying, they would be like, so
Speaker 1: this steel mill was active in you know, eighteen twenty
Speaker 1: nine or whatever, but then this thing happened, And it's
Speaker 1: always like what I really think, I like is this
Speaker 1: kind of like you know, the history aspect of it,
Speaker 1: where it's like, horrible things have been happening to like
Speaker 1: towns and groups of people for years, and like, because
Speaker 1: we're also bad at processing trauma and bad at talking
Speaker 1: about our feelings and stuff, it's always just like and
Speaker 1: so ghosts, but it's just like you know, if half
Speaker 1: your town dies, you know, you're it's like, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be residual horror.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think about like people today, how they might be
Speaker 4: different ghosts, because I like, therapy was so stigmatized for
Speaker 4: so long, and it's like you hear about these ghosts
Speaker 4: where it's like they roam the halls looking for their
Speaker 4: lover or whatever, and it's like if you went to therapy,
Speaker 4: like I'm sorry, but like you might you might get
Speaker 4: over and then you won't be stuck roam in the
Speaker 4: hall like.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you wouldn't have jumped off that turret at that
Speaker 1: weird hotel tell the first place because your husband cheated
Speaker 1: on you or whatever.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 1: It all is like it's tragedy upon tragedy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, wait a second here, Oh boy, I pooped.
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 3: Did you hear.
Speaker 1: I I pooped? Let me turn this up. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard that.
Speaker 2: I love I love that.
Speaker 3: It was very strange. That's proved. It's more than you'll
Speaker 3: see on some of those TVs.
Speaker 2: Imagine being lost in some sort of a spiritual purgatory
Speaker 2: and the only thing you needed to tell someone is
Speaker 2: where you pooped. I mean, what a terrible existence. What
Speaker 2: a someone that's.
Speaker 1: Or it's like a you know, a cowboy pervert who's
Speaker 1: just like I need. I'm going to tell any woman
Speaker 1: that into this bathroom about my poop. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: my y lifelong and into death passion.
Speaker 2: What's that? As?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 4: That's what I That was in Jerome, That was in
Speaker 4: the Postome Grand Hotel. Oh wow, yeah, I went there
Speaker 4: because I went to Sedona, which is a little slice
Speaker 4: of habits.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I love Sedona and it's not far from there.
Speaker 2: That was my trip as well, Sedona Jerome.
Speaker 1: Sedona is amazing. We see pictures of it and stuff,
Speaker 1: but when you're actually driving through and then like this
Speaker 1: side of a mountain is just red stripes, like you
Speaker 1: you truly look like you're on a movie set. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is the craziest thing to actually be there. I
Speaker 1: do love that place.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've never been a desert person, like I like
Speaker 2: trees and bushes and grass. It's just me. But Sodona
Speaker 2: will turn you into a desert loving person because it's
Speaker 2: so beautiful. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: And it's like you go and then you're like maybe
Speaker 3: I need to buy a bunch of crystal.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But if I.
Speaker 4: Left there like like this with crystals, my hands were full.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well because the people there, I mean, that's that
Speaker 1: kind of place where it's like there's the hum and
Speaker 1: there's people there who are specifically there to be spiritual
Speaker 1: and they're kind of experts. So you know, if you're
Speaker 1: just wandering into like what you think maybe a candle shop,
Speaker 1: but it's crystals and there's some you know, unbelievable spiritual
Speaker 1: crystal expert, you're like, well they have to get this
Speaker 1: because they're this is what I need and they're telling
Speaker 1: me about it. This is like it's almost like it's
Speaker 1: privileged information.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to. Yes.
Speaker 4: When I was on bridges podcast, like a couple of
Speaker 4: weeks ago, I was telling the story I went on
Speaker 4: a UFO sighting tour in Sedona, which was so cool,
Speaker 4: and I believe I saw UFOs. What did it look
Speaker 4: like a little dot in the sky that move?
Speaker 1: Was it daytime or nighttime?
Speaker 3: Nighttime?
Speaker 4: With night vision gog you had the goggles and they
Speaker 4: gave us goggles and they said, you see that, that's
Speaker 4: a plane, that's a helicopter, that's a drone. And then
Speaker 4: you'd see these little things and they would like move
Speaker 4: crazy and they would flash when you'd ask them to flat.
Speaker 4: We had little flashlights. We were flashing at them and
Speaker 4: then they would flash back. I've never seen a plane
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 3: Wow, it was really cool.
Speaker 1: That's very cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you bring Bridger on the podcast? What gift?
Speaker 3: An old wig?
Speaker 2: Just an old haunted wig.
Speaker 4: It is definitely haunted by drag brunch pass.
Speaker 3: If you put your ear up to it, you can
Speaker 3: hear a Celindian song I used to do. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: just have these.
Speaker 4: I've got so many wigheads with gigantic wigs on them,
Speaker 4: and it just so happens. I hope Bridge isn't hear this.
Speaker 4: I got to make room for other things. So it
Speaker 4: worked out perfectly. And it was right before Halloween, so
Speaker 4: you know, it was a gift.
Speaker 1: Why but he loved that though. Did he go crazy?
Speaker 3: I think I think he did like it.
Speaker 4: He posted a really cute video of him with it on,
Speaker 4: and so it went to a good home. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: now I just have about seventeen more I got to
Speaker 4: find a home for I'll take a last Yeah, I'll
Speaker 4: just start to rescue.
Speaker 1: Yes, just giving them out. What I love is last
Speaker 1: year for Halloween, Bridger was a woman who was having
Speaker 1: a terrible time on vacation, and so he was wearing
Speaker 1: he was wearing like a I'll never be able to
Speaker 1: remember the name of the designer, but Lily Pulitzer. He
Speaker 1: was like wearing like one of those dresses where it's
Speaker 1: like the real cute it was like to the knees
Speaker 1: cotton print. And then he had a purse and he
Speaker 1: was wearing this this funny but very realistic looking wig
Speaker 1: and then this kind of like sun hat and I
Speaker 1: think he made it look like his face it was sunburn.
Speaker 1: It was truly like it made me last so hard
Speaker 1: and bridger, like just in regular life is so so
Speaker 1: low key, like the lowest key. But it was like
Speaker 1: then I saw him in that wig, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that is allowing you to have fun, Like it's allowing
Speaker 1: you to be this other thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so fun totally. You know.
Speaker 4: That's something I learned my whole life, is wearing wigs
Speaker 4: to get me to being my real media. Like when
Speaker 4: I was a kid. Okay, so when I was a kid,
Speaker 4: I was a professional clown. It's a whole nother thing
Speaker 4: we could get into if you want it. I was
Speaker 4: a professional clown. What was your clown's name, Rainbow the Clowns. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and not just in June. I did it all year,
Speaker 4: all year when I was ten years old. And then
Speaker 4: I started doing like theater and stuff wearing wigs, and
Speaker 4: then I did drag and like, I just feel like, wigs,
Speaker 4: Where's something I did to like help me come out
Speaker 4: of my shell. And now I'm like, Okay, I'm out
Speaker 4: of the shell and they need to leave.
Speaker 3: They need to get out, they need from you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they did leave.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wiggs of my my friend. He's his pro skateboarder,
Speaker 2: justin screwbing. He uh, what were we? It wasn't Halloween.
Speaker 2: Everyone was in a car. It was just a costume
Speaker 2: party and he was in deep character and he said
Speaker 2: he has to be wearing sunglasses otherwise he can't get
Speaker 2: into a character. So he felt safe behind sunglasses. And
Speaker 2: he was just turning into like someone's fun like Jimmy
Speaker 2: Buffett uncle I think basically was, and he was so
Speaker 2: I I didn't know how funny he was. He's like, oh,
Speaker 2: I can only do this any character, any costume if
Speaker 2: I'm wearing sunglasses. That was his version of them. And
Speaker 2: he also had a wig on, like a Muliti wig.
Speaker 2: But yeahs I was going to try that. So I
Speaker 2: wore sunglasses on this last costume as Elvis.
Speaker 3: But I still, oh my god, that was so good.
Speaker 3: The toilet. I saw how you made it. That was incredible.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Thank you so much.
Speaker 4: I went last minute as Lisa Rinna, which was really fun.
Speaker 4: I happened to have the costume just laying around the house.
Speaker 4: Nice perfect, pulled it together and I felt good about.
Speaker 1: It would you do did you do like a rooshy,
Speaker 1: very tight dress or did you do her more casual?
Speaker 4: Well, okay, so the reason I was inspired I was
Speaker 4: just looking through social media and she had just recently.
Speaker 3: She was at the Bravo convention and she.
Speaker 4: Was getting booed and she had on this orange like suit.
Speaker 4: And a couple months ago was out a good Will
Speaker 4: and I saw this orange suit and I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: I should buy that. Maybe I can turn it into
Speaker 4: like a pumpkin outfit or like, I don't know, do
Speaker 4: something with that, something fun, because that drag Queen's still
Speaker 4: in there. I like to take things and dazzle them
Speaker 4: or whatever. And so I and I forgot about it,
Speaker 4: and it was also too big on me, and so
Speaker 4: then I was like, oh my god, I have a

Speaker 4: lot of Lisa Rena eminem's.

Speaker 4: I can't describe. I don't know what the difference is,
Speaker 4: but that's a hair doo.
Speaker 1: Don't you feel like the difference is height and if
Speaker 1: you have to pull pieces out and put like hairspray
Speaker 1: or gel on them, so there's like a fixed element.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what I'm curst thought of. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: well you nailed it.
Speaker 1: Wait, Chris, I just wanted to hear because I've heard
Speaker 1: about the Elvis on the toilet costume in the build
Speaker 1: I heard about it weak of So just do you
Speaker 1: want to give us a couple highlights of the actual
Speaker 1: experience of walking around as dead Elvis on a toilet.
Speaker 2: Well, once I figured out that I needed suspenders and
Speaker 2: a basically an elastic girdle, so it was wrapped around
Speaker 2: my waist, a white elastic thing that kept it because
Speaker 2: it ended up being heavier than I thought it would be,
Speaker 2: and then suspenders that I just covered with Elvis's pajama shirt.
Speaker 2: It was it was really comfortable. I just could not,
Speaker 2: ironically go to the bathroom all night, so I just
Speaker 2: held it. Yeah. Yeah, but what I saved till the
Speaker 2: last minute and only spent an hour on was carving
Speaker 2: the foam legs with this hot knife, releasing the most
Speaker 2: toxic fumes into my brain and into the ozone. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: but it was worth it. The end. The end product.
Speaker 3: That's drag, honey. Yeah, welcome.
Speaker 2: It was so fun. Yeah, I'm like, it made me
Speaker 2: want to become a prop person, Like.
Speaker 4: Oh, I know, prop person or foley artist are the
Speaker 4: two jobs that I want.
Speaker 3: Both of those are so fun to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just put shoes on your feet and crunch around
Speaker 2: and gravel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like walk around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was.
Speaker 4: So fun to me, Like I got too coconut shows.
Speaker 4: I'm a whrse Like it's.
Speaker 1: So fun, you know, I really I really love when
Speaker 1: you can pick out fully where like somebody's walking across
Speaker 1: a parking lot, but you're like, oh, there, there's no
Speaker 1: way feet would make this much noise. They're just there're
Speaker 1: soone just laid this in. Yeah, that's my favorite. When
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm so good at show business. I can
Speaker 1: pick yeah, when they've laid in fully.
Speaker 2: Work.
Speaker 4: The movie the movie Cruising, Have you ever seen that
Speaker 4: with al Pacino? And he plays like a gay He's
Speaker 4: like it's like very gay, and he's like a serious
Speaker 4: what is it? He's going undercover to catch a gay.
Speaker 1: Find a serial killer who's killing gay man.
Speaker 4: Yes, And it's all very leather, like everyone's wearing leather.
Speaker 4: And in that movie, it literally sounds like someone has
Speaker 4: like a balloon and they're just like like every time
Speaker 4: they move it like eat. And then he has like
Speaker 4: chains on him and it sounds like someone just I'm
Speaker 4: picturing someone with like keys just like jingling in a
Speaker 4: sound boot.
Speaker 3: It's fun.
Speaker 2: I would just love to that credit at the end
Speaker 2: of a movie leather squeaker leather.
Speaker 1: Seakers, and the Academy Award goes to Yes.
Speaker 4: I met a fully artist one time at a at
Speaker 4: a party and I just had so many questions all night.
Speaker 2: I would talk to them and she was like, it's.
Speaker 4: Not what you think we're We're not just like sitting
Speaker 4: with toys, yeah, playing around.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: My version of that job is from like forties radio
Speaker 2: programs like that would be so much fun, be like
Speaker 2: a fully artist on War of.
Speaker 1: The World's In the nineties, there was an La Times
Speaker 1: ad that used to run before the movies at the
Speaker 1: Arc Light, and it was like basically different jobs in
Speaker 1: show business and basically it featured there was one about
Speaker 1: two fully artists, a man and a woman, and there
Speaker 1: was some part where it's like someone's head gets chopped
Speaker 1: off and then they drop a head of lettuce. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, because that's like the same noise as I
Speaker 1: had a dead head hitting the ground or something like that,
Speaker 1: where you're like, it was like two minutes of watching
Speaker 1: people actually do their real show business job. So everything
Speaker 1: I know about full your work is was whatever was
Speaker 1: contained in that ad.
Speaker 3: So it's just the Arc Light the art.
Speaker 1: It's going to come back though, apparently that's gonna say.
Speaker 1: I hope. So it's bored.
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone's bailing it out.
Speaker 1: They say someone bought it. Yeah, but right now it
Speaker 1: is literally boarded up, and walking by it is like
Speaker 1: the saddest thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I feel like a lot of people
Speaker 4: don't want to They don't know why things feel different
Speaker 4: since the pandemic.
Speaker 3: And I think it's because the Arc Light. I think
Speaker 3: a piece of la is missing. Yeah place.
Speaker 4: I spent so much time at the Arc Light. It
Speaker 4: is my absolute favorite.
Speaker 1: And it was the kind of thing and I think
Speaker 1: this might be true for like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: like people who get sober, people who like you're maybe
Speaker 1: trying to not hang out with the people you were
Speaker 1: hanging out with and were bringing you down or whatever.
Speaker 1: The Arc Light is like easy fake socializing where you
Speaker 1: can meet one person to go see a movie. But
Speaker 1: then if you go there like Friday seven, in that
Speaker 1: gigantic entryway, there's the chance you're going to see someone
Speaker 1: you know is like a fucking celebrity, I e. Colin Ferrell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the eyebrows alone.
Speaker 4: One time I saw oh what, Oh I can't I
Speaker 4: can't think of his name, but I saw him.
Speaker 2: What's that? I love his word?
Speaker 3: Channing Tatum. I saw Channing Tatum.
Speaker 1: There. That's a good one.
Speaker 2: You're right. Every time I've gone to a movie there,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh shit, was I supposed to dress up?
Speaker 2: I'm wearing sweats. This is humiliating.
Speaker 4: Also, one time I went on the weirdest date and
Speaker 4: I ran into, of course, five people I know, and
Speaker 4: every time I would see them, I would like leave
Speaker 4: the date to run up to them, so and like,
Speaker 4: I'm like, I have ten seconds till he catches up,
Speaker 4: and then I just like say hi really quickly and
Speaker 4: like I'm in a hurry, and then he would come
Speaker 4: but like you see everyone you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just loved it.
Speaker 1: I loved it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. And then someone the works there like comes
Speaker 2: out and gives us speech about the movie you're about
Speaker 2: to watch.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I do that when people come over
Speaker 4: to watch movies. Go Tonight's feature is going to be
Speaker 4: presented one hour and thirty three minutes, and it stars
Speaker 4: al Pacino.
Speaker 2: Because what's this squeaky leather killer? You always are showing cruisers. Cruisers.
Speaker 1: I have so many I can't deal with when you
Speaker 1: get what is that called like living when you're living,
Speaker 1: no living vicariously, you know, so like I get vicarious
Speaker 1: shame very easily. So if people try to take a
Speaker 1: big swing in public, or you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like a young person who you're like, you can see
Speaker 1: in their mind that they're like, this is going to
Speaker 1: make everybody. And that's the vibe that those arc Light
Speaker 1: employees would have when they would be up and like hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: welcome to and it would just have this energy of
Speaker 1: like a needy camp counselor. And I would I would
Speaker 1: literally like curl up in shame or I couldn't, like
Speaker 1: I would need to clap and like be nice because
Speaker 1: I was so afraid people are gonna be laughing at
Speaker 1: them and like that idea where they think it's great
Speaker 1: and cool or whatever world they're in that I coming
Speaker 1: from a comedy background, I'm just like the cruel, mean,
Speaker 1: horrible things people could be saying too or about you
Speaker 1: right now, it's overwhelming.
Speaker 3: No, but see Nicole Kidman is laughing all the way
Speaker 3: to the bank.
Speaker 1: That started bad and now it's become a thing where
Speaker 1: people stand up when that ad comes on and salute it.
Speaker 1: Or to come with people, throw to people, do say
Speaker 1: it along with her. Oh wow, like now it's a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I just watched the other I'm still watching
Speaker 2: all the classic Halloween. I'd never watch so many moves,
Speaker 2: Bobba Doo, all these movies and people. But the others
Speaker 2: it's very sixth sensy. But she's great. Let's just appreciate
Speaker 2: Nicole Kidman right now from BMX stand she's great.
Speaker 1: But yeah, she's been great since she was like seventeen.
Speaker 2: You know, I never paid attention. Yeah, she's terrific.
Speaker 3: She's good. She's good, right, she's good. Future.
Speaker 1: The huge advantage that I noticed is she's very narrow.
Speaker 1: That's really what you need to be a successful A
Speaker 1: list actress.
Speaker 2: Then you can make it through any doorway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, success shoulders hips, all of it.
Speaker 2: Just to be making it in Hollywood is just a
Speaker 2: series of narrow doorways. That's what they told me right
Speaker 2: when I moved.
Speaker 1: You do you have to turn to the side, get them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not gonna make it with that profile. Kid.
Speaker 3: That's why I got these glasses so I can look more.
Speaker 1: Narrow, make the glasses big, and then by comparison, you're
