Starting point is 00:00:00 Today's episode of Ball in the Beautiful is sponsored by Airbnb. So I have to tell you guys, I went all the way up to my hometown of Wasacky, Wisconsin. In Wasacky, we have two motels. I've never stayed at either of them. But when I travel, especially when I travel up north, where honestly, you guys, I love where I'm from, but on an average weeknight, we don't even have one restaurant open. So I like to be able to cook breakfast. I like people to cook dinner if I want lunch, whatever. So I wanted to rent somewhere to stay. I got a four, it was like a four bedroom, but it sleeps like six or eight. Technically, I got a huge cabin
Starting point is 00:00:38 right outside of Wasaki on the river and it was perfect for me. It was perfect. Great Wi-Fi. I mean, it had really clear directions on how to use everything from the Wi-Fi to on the river and it was perfect for me. It was perfect, great wifi. I mean, it had really clear directions on how to use everything from the wifi to the stove, to the TV, everything. I mean, nice hot stove to make breakfast in my underwear in the morning. Huge lofted ceiling, like giant king size bed
Starting point is 00:01:01 with like a cabin quilt on it. I mean, I slept like a baby, a perfect little baby. I love, I mean, being able to travel and eat, like all I did, I brought like, you know, I brought like pancake mix. I brought like some Kansas soup, but I didn't have to bring utensils. I brought pans and then I got there and I was like,
Starting point is 00:01:18 I don't even need these. I mean, everything was provided for me. I also love this feature with the Airbnb app where like, you can kind of plan ahead so let's say I'm going to Florida and Far in advance of my trip I can start checking out the area and start favoriting different like options and that way when it comes time to crunch time
Starting point is 00:01:36 Like I've done a lot of my perusing my browsing for bookings and I've got them kind of favorited so in Milwaukee and You know I've got them kind of favorited. So in Milwaukee and you know, like my brother lives in Minneapolis, like anywhere that I'm gonna stay, I always have a few favorited because it helps me just to make a quick reservation when it's time. All trips are better with Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:01:56 I love it. If you want more space, more privacy, and a better location and the most loved homes, check out airbnb.com or download the Airbnb app. Hello to the Swedish people. It is me, your local leader and hometown girl. Drixie Mattel all the way from Stockholm to Sweden. Hello.
Starting point is 00:02:17 When I land in Sweden, there was a gay guy there last time we came up and said, welcome home and give me a hug. We are coming over to Miss Norwegia Boots. We are, I love it a hug. We are coming over to Miss Norwegia Boots. We are. I love it there. You guys are so... You're gonna be the level of out of pocket.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Never seen a pocket. But you know what? I don't know. I don't know. I'm happy to come. Stockholm is so beautiful. It is. They're really yanking it off.
Starting point is 00:02:39 And Oslo is so beautiful. They're really yanking it off. We're gonna be at the circus in Stockholm, Sweden on Wednesday, July 2nd, and at Concert House in Oslo, Norway on July 3rd. Artist pre-sale is Wednesday, March 19th at 10 a.m. local. Code bald for that. And then venue pre-sale Thursday, 20th March at 10 a.m. local.
Starting point is 00:02:58 General on sale Friday, 21 March at 10 a.m. local. I said that weird, but you got the info. Yes, please, we are, we're American, and we've been really enjoying our time leaving the country. So thank you for having us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will see you at the program. Yeah. I was in Australia, which is not American.
Starting point is 00:03:16 And it's crazy hearing how much they know about us. And we don't know about ourselves. Because I can't tell you, I think Margot Robbie runs that country. I don't know what's going on, right? I think it's T.S. Eliot, Margot, is that Australian? I think it's, I think Margot Robbie runs that country. I don't know what's going on, right? I think it's T.S. Eliot, Margot, is that Australian? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:30 T.S. Madison, she's a legendary Australian. It was hugely Australian. Yeah. Nicole. Not the ball worms. Oh my God. Not the ball worms. Not the ball, I can't even.
Starting point is 00:03:44 You know, I was really good when I was there, and as soon as I left, it was like, it was like I menemblacked my accent. Now I can't do it again. I rewatched the Nicole ad for our show, and I was like, what accent was I trying to emulate there? Moira Rose? Yes. Something like that. From a Chippapian tribe? Okay, but tell me the highlights of Australia.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Well, sold out every city. I was very fortunate, you know, I'm just gonna be honest, we don't make the same kind of money traveling because it costs so much more to travel. You know this, when we did Trixie and Katya Live. Are you saying that, oh, I thought you were saying you make a lot more money than me.
Starting point is 00:04:15 No, of course I do. But in Europe and Australia, remember, gross, we make less money. Yes, yes, yes. Because it costs so much more for us all to be there. Absolutely. You know, the taxes, plus you have to pay taxes in that much more for us all to be there. Absolutely. Plus you have to pay taxes in that country. It's a whole thing.
Starting point is 00:04:28 So I was really happy it sold out. It was kind of like getting eight, six or eight paid rehearsals, six shows I think. It's like getting to do paid rehearsals to put on a pink disco. Because we hadn't debuted those numbers, the choreography, the set. You did numbers.
Starting point is 00:04:43 There's different looks in the show plus. I saw that number girl, those moves were tight. Mary, I know those songs. I know those, let me tell you something, I might not be the best dancer, but I know the song. Yeah, yeah, that was clear. That was clear. So in the show there's three numbers,
Starting point is 00:04:58 there's three costume changes, plus I DJ the full 90. How's the heat? Honey, do you know what a heat rash is? Oh, do I ever? I've never gotten one. Got it in Australia. What would you say to a heat rash? My butt looked like boba and feta.
Starting point is 00:05:13 That's where Ms. Goldbond. Goldbond feta. Goldbond comes into the play. I was putting aloe on my butt and sleeping on my stomach because I got heat rash from the heat. The first night was outdoors in Perth. It was at a place called The Courtyard, and it was nice and cold, not one drop of sweat. I told Brandon backstage,
Starting point is 00:05:30 I was getting ready for Supermodel, the last number, and I was like, what's wrong? I was like, you know in a movie when like, they fire a bunch of bullets and everybody drops dead and the one person is like, oh my God. That was me. I couldn't believe I wasn't sweating the first night. I was like.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I know. That was me in Germany. Great. Girl, Germany. I was like, what is this feeling? What is this sensation? It's Germany's greatest success, was the air conditioning in Hamburg.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Only. Outside. Yes. That's called outside in the winter. OK. So then things took a turn. Melbourne was, I was almost crying trying to reapply makeup backstage.
Starting point is 00:06:07 It was so hot. I was Tanya Harding, like crying, putting the blush on. Cause I walked backstage to change for work at my like physical fitness section. The entire, this diamond shape of the foundation, gone. The nose is gone. The contour, all of it is gone. Mama, you need to get in one of these gals.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Honestly, completely gone. And I'm starting to do this with my boys. Fucking shit. I don't even know what to say. They're fucking coming back. They're fucking coming. Like cursing everyone who works for us, everyone who's ever worked for us,
Starting point is 00:06:37 people who don't even work for us anymore. Yeah, people who are dead, long dead. And fuck that bitch. Yeah. It was so hot, and I started to get so mad because I'm like, I'm in my third year of doing this. Let's just say, I mean, I'll be transparent. Me, everybody involved in the tour, we had a gorgeous,
Starting point is 00:06:55 I gave them basically a gorgeous PowerPoint of like, what's the T? Like this was the roses and the thorns. The show went so well, the rose of the trip. The show went well, the audiences had fun, everybody wins. The thorn was when the heat is so oppressive, and you know, I'm not, I have to wear a corset.
Starting point is 00:07:14 And you're not a sweater though. I mean, you're not a big sweater. So when I'm sweating, that's hot. You're dead. Oh yeah, long dead. It was so hot that I was like, you guys, I hate to be a hater, but Melbourne and Sydney,
Starting point is 00:07:24 it was so hot that I couldn't enjoy it guys, I hate to be a hater, but Melbourne and Sydney, it was so hot that I couldn't enjoy it. Well, what is the audience going through? Probably the same thing. That's the thing. It was just so hot. And it was summer in Australia, so I don't know what I'm complaining about. I go to a tropical weather in the summer, but... You went to a first world country,
Starting point is 00:07:41 an industrialized nation, who I believe has access to electricity through which you can have air conditioning. Yeah, who I believe has access to electricity through which you can have air conditioning. Yeah, and I also understand it's nightclubs. Nightclubs are hot. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Shut it down, shut it down, shut it down. But I would say of the six shows,
Starting point is 00:07:55 three of them were very well air conditioned. I barely sweat, so I'm like, it is possible. I know it's possible. So when it flops, it's a big, big flop. Yeah, but honestly, the tour went great. If you can see in America, we still have some cities available we're selling out, but please come.
Starting point is 00:08:09 You're doing great doing numbers. Oh yeah. Numbers. This gorgeous dancer, Zo-J, who's like a supermodel who happens to be a perfect dancer. And then Tom Feeney, who's, I don't know, it's like Superman on stage. Hot as hell.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Yeah, I don't know. It's an amazing mover and I love the numbers and I love doing the show. And even though I was, I'm in this like physical fitness, headband with like sweatband with, and I was so sweaty that I was like, I guess at least I'm like in character. Buckets coming off me.
Starting point is 00:08:37 You need to do a sauna number. Yeah. Well, you know what? I have a suggestion. This might be kind of interesting. What about a, now hear me out. Fuck him. No, no, what about an eye mask?
Starting point is 00:08:49 For the moments where- For like sleep? No, no, no, for performing, where you can keep your mouth in your lower, because you can do that. Do you think we need to give, you think we need to give Texas chainsaw mask or leather face? That's not where my mind went, but I'm into that.
Starting point is 00:09:04 No. I'm into that. No. I'm thinking, okay, imagine the cuntist all rhinestoned. You do the Batman eyes underneath, right? You do like whatever, a white or black, you know what I'm talking about? Are you saying that I have Batman eyes that are whatever, black and white? You make a masquerade, Trixie, fantasy mask.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Sure. And then you just do ba-ba-ba-ba-ba underneath. Because you know the makeup is not gonna stay, the integrity is not gonna, the shapes aren't gonna hold. I mean, a lot of it- I think that could be cunty. A lot of it did hold up. I mean, this was after, directly after a show.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I retouched this a little bit. Oh, well I wanna, so what are you complaining about? I am gourd. What are you complaining about? Can we just talk about- What are you complaining about? Wow, people. So you're just lying.
Starting point is 00:09:44 No, okay, but this is the unretouched. I mean, this is okay too, I guess. Oof. No, I mean, that's fine. You know, I felt wet. You're not, you're a little bit far away. You probably looked incredible. Yeah, and that's the hard thing about working with professional dancers.
Starting point is 00:09:58 If you mess up, there are two people hotter than you doing it perfectly on either side of you. So your little mess up, two people are fl than you doing it perfectly on either side of you. I know your little mess up I know two people are flanking you doing it perfectly. Yeah, they're saying fuck you bitch. Yeah, it's very inspiring But you did great. I was very impressed with everything was so in unison. Oh, yeah Well, I learned that shit.

Like I've seen drag queens do this with the nail. Of course. And that's kind of cunty, I guess. I got offered so much drugs on these tours.
Starting point is 00:12:47 A lot of drugs on these tours too. I forget the club tours. It's like, and people have been like, Trixie, we're so happy you're here. We do have ketamine if you. And I'm like- I was just going to say, for DJing? Can I get a sugar free Red Bull?
Starting point is 00:12:59 For DJing, could you imagine? The music goes, brrr. Yeah. So then, um, I have this, um, then I go to Melbourne, and in Melbourne, um, I go to this place called Silver Lake Social that is a Silver Lake themed bar in Australia.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Like Silver Lake Los Angeles? Yes! And I walk in and I think like, I'm gonna authenticate this. Because I like to go into the American candy scores and be like, we don't even have that. We don't have that. You're a liar. Cause they'll have Reese's puffs and shit,
Starting point is 00:13:31 but then they'll have shit that we don't have. And I'm like, that's not American. Like such as what? Those Tim Tams. Yeah, it's like, what are you talking about? Or like Aero. It's like, that's not an American candy. We don't have that.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah, never heard of it. So I go to this over like social and I'm like, I'm gonna they have a pool table there A lot of pool tables. Okay, a lot of pool tables in Australia plays that big in Silver Lake He's had pool games I don't know well go eat in the Chinatowns in each city and I think there was lots of billiard halls in the Chinatowns Really nice clean billiard halls with groups of young men with the fancy glove on playing crazy, precision, robotic level pool. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Did you ever get into the old like alley sitting on milk crates, betting with cards, dice? No. Okay. We didn't have that. I don't even know if that exists. I just see it in movies a lot. I bet it's, you know, it's one of those D and D dice.
Starting point is 00:14:22 And no one knows what any of it means. Your witch died or whatever they do. I don't know what they do. I don't know what they do. What's your favorite city of the tour? Well, I gotta tell you about Melbourne. So the Southern California themed bar. And I'm like, I guess I'll have a beer.
Starting point is 00:14:35 And the bartender has an American accent but has never been to Los Angeles. So I'm like, this is all very theatrical. That's country. I love it. What, $28 for a cocktail? The service was great. The service was great. The vibe was great. It was a really nice bar.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I would recommend anybody go there in Melbourne. And this lady comes up and she's had a few. Yeah. But she's there alone. And I can tell she's trying to talk to people next to her. And people are like, it's 4 p.m. man. Bar fly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:58 And she comes up to us and she, we're playing pool. And she comes up and she's like, do you need one more? And I was like, yeah. And then she had a French accent. I tried to speak French to her and she didn't respond. I was like, great. Because she just has the accent, but no.
Starting point is 00:15:13 So just the accent. Just the accent. So she comes up and she wants to play with us and she thinks I'm going easy on her. She's like, I think you're being nice to me. And then she gets really close to me. She gets this close to my face. And she goes, you think I'm a nice girl?
Starting point is 00:15:32 And I go, not just that, but like. She wanna fuck you. We're in a Los Angeles theme bar playing pool at 4 p.m. I'm clearly gay. Well. You're on the pool at 4 p.m. I'm clearly gay. You're on the pills or something. I don't think it's clear. Sorry, sorry to this man. Oh, I had a bra on, just kidding.
Starting point is 00:15:52 No. I had a bra on. I had a bra over my blouse. It was so crazy, I was just like, I don't know what to say. Did you fuck her? Did you fuck her? No, she just got drunk enough that she kind of forgot
Starting point is 00:16:03 she was playing with us and slithered away. And I was like, thank God, because I'm not. Lonely bar flies at 4 PM at Silver Lake themed bars in Australia. Yeah, I just, I don't get down like that. And then I also noticed the gay people there are dressing very wild. Everybody has this Australian mullet.
Starting point is 00:16:19 What's the haircut? Okay, yeah, because that's the thing that, that's the hairstyles that go, they have lives and trends way beyond America. They don't, we don't see that. Yeah. You know what I mean? In the UK, the men because that's the thing that, that's the hairstyles that go, they have lives and trends way beyond America. They don't, we don't see that. Yeah. You know what I mean? In the UK, the men have that haircut. You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:16:30 Europe too, like lots of different hairstyles. They never even touched the US soil. Australia, they got that mullet right now. How do you feel about that mullet? Oh, who's it flattering? Unless you are drop dead gorgeous. It's sort of like when some people are like, is Ben should I wear crazy hats?
Starting point is 00:16:44 It's like, okay, Margot Robbie can wear a crazy hat. You look crazy. You look crazy and ugly. So you need to balance it with a cute hat. You know? Because sometimes I think really hot people will get like fucked up bangs just to prove how they can do it.
Starting point is 00:16:56 I was gonna say, I'm gonna have turf bangs tomorrow and then maybe like pull out one of my teeth. Yes, but the gay people over there have two settings. Queer people, everyone. They either look little baby slut princess Yes, but the gay people over there have two settings. Queer people, everyone. They either look little baby slut princess or van life. What is van life?

Yes, just a lot of glitter and short, weird haircuts and a lot of clunky jewelry and good for them though.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I mean, I'm not the peak of fashion, I understand that. Any goth people, any goth sightings? Not really. I didn't see any goths, but also, how do you be a goth in the Australian heat? Well, I mean, black umbrella. Stay inside, also, you're not gonna see them. And they're not gonna come to the pink disco.
Starting point is 00:17:55 They're not gonna wear pink. Somebody came to the meet and greet, there was a goth. One goth I saw, complete goth, and he had pink contact lenses. He was like, this is all I'm gonna do. That's so adorable. And I said, great. That and he had pink contact lenses. He was like, this is all I'm gonna do. That's so adorable. I said, great.

Starting point is 00:18:42 Ah! Ah! Ah! Today's episode of All in the Beautiful is brought to you by our friends at VIA. VIA, baby, I have to tell you, so many of us have had negative first time experiences with THC. It just makes me think of like, not to be old, but my generation, people would just take some unmoderated, unmitigated, unregulated THC product from a friend of a friend and just hope for the best.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And that's why so many people have horror stories, right? What I love about Vya is that it's changing the game in natural wellness by combining high quality, hemp-deriving ingredients with powerful cannabinoids to create real effect-driven results. Want better sleep? Like I just got back from Australia and for me, THC is a great
Starting point is 00:19:26 tool to reset my biological clock, get my little butt in bed at the right time, get my butt sleeping at the right time.

Sometimes if a day is too much at work I will keep spinning out into the evening and it's a great way to assist myself in switching that down gear. Everything from award-winning effect forward gummies, premium indoor-grown THCA flour, and calming drops, all made with organic lab-tested hemp from trusted, independent American farms. Baby, none of that mystery gas station nonsense mumbo jumbo. This is the real deal.

Starting point is 00:20:44 where I published my weekly column about dating in the big city, I was walking along Fifth Avenue after brunching with the girls and I thought to myself, after hearing all their amusing man troubles about sex stuff, I couldn't help but wonder, why are we so inclined to spend a thousand dollars on new Manolos but not spare a single thought about our mental health? That's right, ladies, why can't we realize that our mental health is just as important as our gorgeous luxury leather footwear? And then I realized, this month, BetterHelp

Okay, Mary, I have so many things to tell you, but first I want to talk about Mad Men very briefly.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Okay. Have you seen it? No, you asked me yesterday. Oh, okay. Because I'm, the whole time, this parade of fashion in the 60s, office world, the hairstyles, the jewelry, the outfits, the looks from top to bottom are so up your alley, they're wedged right up your alley. Your alley is stuffed with these looks these looks
Starting point is 00:22:50 That's the program that made everybody horny for John Ham. Oh, yeah, mama, but everybody's fire Kiernan Shipka Okay, I she's Sally the daughter clips of it. Yeah, Joan cuz one time I did a Truvada commercial That was a spoof on that Oh fab So I played were you Christina Hendricks with the red with the no I played a grown-up Sally Draper And I was pitching like an ad. And it was all 60s vibes. With Jack Plotnick, you know him? No. It was fun.
Starting point is 00:23:11 But everybody, this show is like, everybody is at the top of their game, Hanoi, so beautiful, so fabulous. But let me tell you what you don't wanna do while you're watching Mad Men. What? Quit smoking. Oh, cause they're just smoking.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Every single person in the, there is not a scene where somebody doesn't have a cigarette. I think Sally starts smoking in the fourth grade. Like, I mean, it's crazy. It's crazy. People smoke on planes back then too, huh? They're smoking in the,
Starting point is 00:23:38 the doctors delivering babies with a cigarette hanging out as well. The baby comes out with a cigarette. Yes. So I'm like, I'm like, on the one hand, I'm so enjoying this and on the other, I'm like, why am I torturing myself? Because guess what, you fucking bitch.
Starting point is 00:23:51 What? You hoe. You Jennifer Lopez look alike. What? I haven't been smoking cigarettes. And it's for, like, actually, I swear to God, there have been days where I've had one two today zero yesterday Maybe one I'm just gonna say I saw you last time we film
Starting point is 00:24:09 No, no, no last night I had that was a to that day was a bad day for that day Very bad day, but only two progress Mary 25 to 2. That's a pretty good differential You used to smoke 25 cigarettes a day. We did get to 30 What are you talking about if I if I'm on a roll on the phone, it's just one after the other. Oh, yeah. That's why you're so tired. You are busy. I heard you want to go on vacation in Europe,
Starting point is 00:24:33 and I literally said vacation from what? No, it's not a vacation. It's a trip. I don't know why they said vacation. My life is a vacation. I got to go to work. Anyways, so I swear to God, I don't like- That's impressive.
Starting point is 00:24:49 25, smoking 25 cigarettes is impressive in a really dark way. Yeah, but there was a whole week where I did none. You have to understand. And it's not like, it's not super difficult. I mean, I have this ex-program thing I have. I was a little like- What is it, how do you do it? So basically it's like, there's an online support thing for you.
Starting point is 00:25:07 It's, you get text messages that are like encouraging. It can be as, you know, you can use it as much or as little as you want. It can, it got a little annoying at first, because I didn't want to, I didn't want to like, always think about smoking all day. Right. So I get a text and I'm like, ugh. But then I was like, okay, this is actually
Starting point is 00:25:25 kind of encouraging. But the thing is, the main thing, I don't wanna smell like poopy, poopy, poopy. Can I say that's the thing? Everybody has freedom, everybody has autonomy with their own body. No, but you smell like poopy, poopy, poopies. Also, the money.
Starting point is 00:25:38 No, yeah, the money's insane. I mean, the fact that you're very blessed that that's not enough money for you to worry about. No, but in college it was. How does a, I don't wanna say normal, how does a person who has a standard income smoke 30 cigarettes a day and survive? Do you know what 30 cigarettes a day in Australia costs you?
Starting point is 00:25:57 About $60. The 25 cigarette pack Australian cigarette case is $50 Australian dollars. That's crazy. That's what I would do there. I would pay and you can't bring cigarettes into the country. So I felt like so ashamed of that when I did that. You know, next time we sell any concert tickets or show
Starting point is 00:26:16 tickets that are 70 bucks, we should be like, for the price of one pack of Australian cigarettes a day, you can come support us. Yes, totally. That's why, but the vaping too is like, I didn't, the vaping is not like, I didn't really get into the vaping because it's different, but I mean, everybody's vaping. I swear to God, it's-
Starting point is 00:26:33 People, we know, I mean, I think people know, of course. No, no, no, that's not surprising, but we can't name names. We know so many people who I think are on Team Goodie Goodie with me, that have been vaping names. We know so many people who I think are on Team Goody Goody with me that have been vaping, and it shocked, my jaw hits the floor.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Somebody we work with, a famous drag queen, walked in and I was like, they pulled it out and did it, and it was so passive and involuntary, and my eyes went from them to watching it go to their pocket to like. Like the killer. No, I was like, you remember in Mars Attacks when the first lady's like.
Starting point is 00:27:08 That was me watching someone vape. No, I get it. It's shocking. Well, it's not shocking, but. So what do the techs say? Like, hey girl. It's like, it would be like, you know, you can do it. You can do it, Diva, not really like that.
Starting point is 00:27:19 But it's like, you know, it gives you like a statistic about, you know, saving money. Like, I mean. Can you tell, I mean, for me, I would know that It gives you a statistic about saving money. I mean, for me, I would know that maybe for me, could I tailor it to be more like, make sure the techs are telling me how much money I'm saving. That's the only thing that would motivate me.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Oh, hell yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Or if you're health conscious, maybe it's a health tech. And then you can go online and you can, people have, they share their stories where it's like, and I'm not to be corny, I'm not to be corny, it actually helped to know that people are going through, because nobody I know is trying to quit smoking in my life. They either don't smoke or they're a lifer.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Yeah, they're like, exactly. So like, I, and it's insidious when, every time I've tried to quit smoking with somebody else, oh my God, it does not work out. Because I see them and they're like, do you want to? You know, and it's like, ugh. But I'm actually. Enabler.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Yes, yes. And it's so easy. Oh, it's smoking. It's not crack. It's not crack today. The crack people are saying, it's not smoking. Yeah, it's not crack today. But in 20 years, it's big time crack. Do you have a history with having
Starting point is 00:28:26 maybe an addictive personality? No, I don't. It seems like your body. This is really new for me. How did you start smoking? Mary, this is the diabolical part. I was in sixth grade. I'll never forget, Marlboro Reds.
Starting point is 00:28:42 You're the person huffing at the McDonald's. I was originating theing at the McDonald's. Mama, I was at the, I was originating the shade at the Maccas, okay? I was the shade originator. The shade store. Yes. I remember so vividly, I smoked the cigarette. That cigarette tasted like the cat's motherfucking ass. That cat's ass. Like you rim in your tongue, way up in a cat's booty hole.
Starting point is 00:29:02 And I puked. I can't even kiss a smoker. And then I did it again. Of course not. So this is the thing about, that's why like the little reminders are so great because it's like, it reminds you, A, hey, maybe you don't want to smell like the cat's ass.
Starting point is 00:29:14 And then B, maybe you'd like to have an intimate relationship with someone who doesn't smoke because that's non-negotiable otherwise. Or C, maybe you'd like to save 50 Australian dollars a day or D, maybe you don't want to dive in for Zima ho I know can I tell if I could be vulnerable I'm sure my mom won't mind me sharing this my mom smoked off and on her whole life yeah she has emphysema it's not a party I could get it absolutely it could be I could have lung cancer right now you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:29:43 Kathy Griffin got lung cancer and had never been smoked in her life. So if it can happen to somebody who doesn't smoke, it can really happen to you if you, you know what I mean? Of course, I know. It's like, I mean, I'm... Obviously many types of cancer are treatable and they're surviving, you know, but...
Starting point is 00:29:57 But no, I'm actually really, I'm not even proud of myself. I'm kind of in shock. I'm in shock. Cause I was like, I got all this stuff today and I was like, I was a perfect opportunity to smoke. I had just had lunch and it was the time, the prime time to smoke. And I just didn't go outside and do it.
Starting point is 00:30:14 I just walked in here today and didn't I say, where is she? Is she smoking? And they said, no, she's over there. I have it. It's bizarre. But you know what it is? At Trixie and Katya Live, you would hang out the window and smoke until the overture started. In between numbers, right after hey sexy, sweating.
Starting point is 00:30:30 God's perfect breathing system. During COVID, you inside with the air conditioner smoking in the house. That part. That's sick. That is grizzly Adams. You know what else is different this time? Cause I've seen you quit probably five times
Starting point is 00:30:43 since drag race season seven. You'll quit and you know, that one time you quit for eight months. Remember? This time it's before when you've quit, it's been a consuming thought. Exactly. Every time I see you're like pissed,
Starting point is 00:30:57 trying to quit smoking, pissed off. Peace, I have none. Right. This time I wouldn't have known because it's not like a prevailing thought. I'm not, it started with Ubers. Like there was three days in a row where I was like not driving and I was had to get Ubers like so many in a day.
Starting point is 00:31:13 And then it occurred to me like, I was like, oh, I think it's really disrespectful to get into this guy's Mercedes Benz smelling like a fucking lit cigarette. Only in LA you're getting in people's luxury Ubers. Oh yeah. People here drive like Cadillac Ubers. I know, you're getting in people's luxury Ubers. Oh yeah. People here drive Cadillac Ubers. I know, I take them.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Yeah, they're fierce. And sometimes they're just as cheap as comfort. Yeah. Boopy. Okay, but so there's that. And it's cool. What is? But I get it, this is corny too. David Lynch dying really kind of like put a bug in my ear.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Did he die of a vizema? Mm-hmm. Yeah. He probably don't smoke as much as you did. Mama, he was the smoker. He was the capital smoker. He smoked American Spirit yellows like they were going out of style. Yeah, but you're like that woman from Beetlejuice
Starting point is 00:31:53 with the neck like you're every. Juno. Juno. Or Juno, your caseworker, yes. Totally, and I don't wanna be like her, Miss Monster Eliza Suey in the corner. Oh, I know. You know, cause that's gonna be my insides. Well, you know, when you stop smoking,
Starting point is 00:32:09 a lot of the damage this has proven can rewind. Yes, and it's amazing how- For you it's gonna take more than a couple days. I know, but food tastes better. Food? It affects the way food tastes? Wildly. See, that's where my fat ass would draw the line. Because, oh my God, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And if you don't have a cigarette for a week, let's say, and then you smoke, that cigarette tastes like boo boo nasty. And you're like, why do I do this? Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a very wild, but again, don't watch Mad Men. That's the only thing I can say. Stay off of Mad Men.
Starting point is 00:32:41 If you're trying to quit drinking, good luck go to Macca's and huff some glue Honestly, they were very martini centric strong drinks from not like from the morning till night Just liquor straight liquor all the time at work It's crazy. I'm very proud of you. Thank you very much. I wonder shout out to the X program I wish my sister would quit vaping. I wonder if I can get her this and if I get you this will you. Thank you very much. I wonder... Shout out to the X program. I wish my sister would quit vaping. I wonder if I can get her this and be like, if I get you this, will you get into this? Say it's like... She just needs a gentle push.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Say it's like X-rated. It's like give her like some kind of tantalizing... Get in the X program. It's for X-rated smoking quitter hot. I'll tell her she's going to a pole class. There you go. That'll get her excited. Just kidding. She doesn get her excited. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Just kidding. She doesn't watch this. Okay. Well, how do the kids at home do it? How do they get involved? Is it a website? All you gotta do is you text join Katya to what? 887-09 and then get on the-
Starting point is 00:33:38 Join Katya? Yeah, baby. I love that. It's like in fabric. Join us. That's really cunty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's I love that. It's like it's like in fabric Join us. Yeah. Yeah, it's country. It's actually is and it's the you know, it's the truth initiative Which is not like, you know, it's not like the fucking sackler family's trying to make a buck off of this It's like legit and people trying to just want they want people to not die. Yeah, I mean that's country You've been going through some economic turmoil
Starting point is 00:34:02 How dare you it would have been harder to have sympathy for you if you were smoking it all away. Because you're saving. Mama, my cigarettes are up 10, 11, 12 bucks a pack. Do you know what I'm doing? I'm too cheap for that. I'd be stealing. I don't know what I do.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I couldn't. $12 a pack. I know. You go a pack a day. Sweetie, when I was living in Boston and the abject poverty, I would get them from Russia. $2 a pack, $10 like twelve dollars a carton or whatever. So if there's, what is twelve times thirty?
Starting point is 00:34:29 Three hundred sixty dollars a month? Oh baby. Times twelve months? And factor in some lighters? That's a car payment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And lighters! Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:38 And no tea, we've worked together where I've seen you send like an assistant just to buy cigarettes and I've been like. This is the thing. This is the pitiful and incomprehensible moral degradation. If you've ever watched Regarding Henry, he goes out for cigarettes in the middle of the night, he gets shot. No, like, I mean, it's like,
Starting point is 00:35:00 but if he hadn't been a smoker, he wouldn't have had to leave the house in the middle of the night to go get cigarettes. You know what I mean? I've been in that, I mean, I haven't been shot, but I've been in that situation where I get home to the hotel after the show, I look, I open my cigarette pack, none in there.
Starting point is 00:35:16 It's like, weh, weh, weh, weh. That doesn't happen anymore. The pack's always empty. You still open it though, just to look. I have cigarettes on me. They just haven't happen anymore. The pack's always empty. You still open it though, just to look. I have cigarettes on me. They just haven't been smoked. That's crazy. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:35:31 It's weird. Yeah, it's cool weird. I mean, it's wild. It also kind of exits the comedy of people like, I'm quitting tomorrow. Yes, it also. You know, like, there's sort of a failure in saying you're going to quit every.
Starting point is 00:35:43 People who smoke and say I should quit, that is always puzzling to me. Yeah. But also, I'm taking the pressure off myself where it's like, it's not all or nothing. If I have a fucking cigarette tonight, I'm not gonna kill myself. One is better than 20. Zero is preferred. But you know what I mean? Yeah. So, like, I'm not, like, counting days, but it's, like, it's been really dramatically great. Girl, I'm gonna cut your chest open and right wash me on your lungs.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Like a dirty car. So basically, in a nutshell, what people can get is they get encouraging texts, which I've actually found helpful. In the beginning, I was annoyed, but now I find them helpful. I'm gonna start sending you my own version of truth texts. $50 trillion, you fucking bitch. Hey, Baldy. You can go online and find support totally free anywhere 24-7 in the United States.
Starting point is 00:36:31 I mean honestly like think about that regarding Henry moment. Middle of the night 2 a.m. you run out of cigarettes you don't have to go to the convenience store you log on. You log on and get some. I'm in just as much danger when I'm high in Australia and I want to get some snakes alive Some what snakes alive? What's that those gummy worms? They have sure my ex alive Mary, okay? She died doing what she loved buying candy Fucking big bitch buying candy at 2 a.m
Starting point is 00:37:05 High as hell going to the cheeky 7-eleven in Australia looking like Jennifer. Looking like Jennifer Lopez. She had her bucket hat on. She was so happy. I thought you were gonna say those Huffers, they brought their own big cups and piston them. No, shout out to those Huffers. I don't like, I also get, I'm sad to think of you smoking in sixth grade because seeing kids Huffing, not that Huffing is the same as cigarettes,
Starting point is 00:37:23 seeing kids doing it was so sad. It just took the wind out of my sails at Maccas, cheeky Maccas. And dude, I think, dude, I've never called you that before, I think smoking's coming back. And it is. Do you know how a few years ago, you really stopped seeing smoking.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Well, it's kind of like low-rise jeans. Like as soon as it's gone, it comes back. But it really is back. And I think it's because this end time energy or whatever. 100%. So anyways, I'm very proud of you. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:37:53 And shout out to the X program. The X program sounds great. It makes me want to start smoking just to quit. Do it. It sounds fun. Yeah, do it. It's not true. The ultimate quit is to not start,
Starting point is 00:38:03 but the second best thing is to quit. That should be the slogan, come on. I do, I miss a time of, I fantasize about a time before PowerPoints or Zooms where people had giant pieces of cardboard to give presentations. We'll get into this, you're gonna love this. So they're marketing the slideshow apparatus.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Just smoking. They're like, what do we call it, what do we call it? It's like, it's not a wheel. It's a carousel. Because the wheel, it's like we're reinventing the wheel. How are we gonna get people to buy this wheel thing? It's not a wheel, it's a carousel of memories. Yeah, let's take a break.
Starting point is 00:38:47 This episode of The Bald and the Beautiful is sponsored by Blissy. As you all know, I have the most luscious, luxurious, all-natural blonde locks. Hair as yellow as corn, as Stephen Sondheim would say, my flaxen tresses of honey gold deserve to be treated well. Therefore, to maintain my tawny mane amidst my very busy schedule as the nation's top blonde multi-hyphenate, I need something easy instead of sitting in a salon chair every morning with a slightly homicidal hairdresser
Starting point is 00:39:13 who thinks he's in a David Fincher film. Let me tell you people about an amazing discovery I made. It's called Blissey. Blissey is an award-winning dermatologist-recommended silk pillowcase that eliminates frizz, preserves hairstyles and protects my succulently sumptuous color-treated hair. They're easy to care for and machine washable and Blissy's pillowcases are naturally hydrating with silk fibers to keep your skin moisturized all night long.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Personally, with my aforementioned and widely known about natural and gorgeous hair, I've noticed how Blissy has helped me to wake up looking fresh as a virgin about to be sacrificed rather than Nicole Kidman with a bad synthetic unit placed upon her head by a mortal enemy in the hair and makeup department. Don't let regular pillows make you look like Nicole Kidman in a prestige drama series. I know I don't.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Now that I have a Blissy pillowcase, I sleep well at night knowing that I can wake up ready to stand in when the studio calls saying the new Bond girl mysteriously fell down a staircase and I'm needed expeditiously on set to fill in. I love that they're antibacterial and hypoallergenic so they don't clog my pores. They're even cool to the touch
Starting point is 00:40:14 so they help me manage the old Katya night sweats. Take it from both me and the three million people who have already bought these pillowcases. They're simply amazing.

I've never stayed at either of them.
Starting point is 00:40:56 But when I travel, especially when I travel up north, where honestly, you guys, I love where I'm from, but on an average weeknight, we don't even have one restaurant open. So I like to be able to cook breakfast. I like to be able to cook dinner if I want, lunch, whatever. So I wanted to rent somewhere to stay. I got a four, it was like a four bedroom,
Starting point is 00:41:17 but it sleeps like six or eight technically. I got a huge cabin right outside of Wasaki on the river. And it was perfect for me. It was perfect, great Wi-Fi.

Starting point is 00:44:59 We're full circle. Full circle. Full circle. It used to be just me and one shipper, and we'd be in here, somebody would be... Licking them. Licking stamps. Licking them. Yeah, just licking them.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I remember when we launched, I remember the first day we launched, we were in here, it was like friends and family, a bunch of people came and just shipped for free. And I wish I could still just have everyone work for free, but you can't do that anymore. Thanks Obama. Thanks Sleepy Joe. Labor laws. Labor laws. What's next Joe. Ah, labor laws. What's next?
Starting point is 00:45:26 Retirement funds? I don't know. Vacation? Although this is a great time in American history to just, anything unethical you wanna do, I guess this is a great time as a white man to just go for it. Let it rip.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Seems like it's just, why not? Let it rip. We're in the let it rip era of total anarchy. You know. Chaos. Girl, but we're also in the era of Jasmine Crockett and I never wanna be on the receiving end of that wrath bitch. I don't know what Jasmine Crockett is.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Oh, she's this Democrat who is young, gorgeous. Coming for the girls. And they said, what would you say to say if you saw Elon? She said, didn't she say fuck you? They said, what would you say if you saw Elon? She goes, fuck off. Wait, is she a Congresswoman?
Starting point is 00:46:04 Yes, it's cunty. Okay, congresswoman. It's cunty. She needs to go toe to toe with Boebert. And she matches the freak. Imagine if like Marjorie Taylor Greene's audacity was a hot black girl. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:16 It's so awesome. And democratic. Okay, so you take the volume of MGT, MGT, MJT, and Boebert, and then you put it in a good vessel. But this is the Glinda. You know, this is like the good, well, I guess if you follow Wicked,
Starting point is 00:46:30 Glinda's not necessarily the good. Oh, we're gonna go watch it. You gotta watch Cynthia. Well, I'm watching Ferrari, Your Honor. Cynthia, she puts on those, she gets them. She's got the nails in the movie? Of course, my God. There's snowboards. They're this long.
Starting point is 00:46:47 I swear to God. Snowboard, frat paddle. All I remember about Wicked is, I swear, this is a shot for shot recreation of this. You're joking. There's a part, in my mind in Wicked, she goes. And then she gets on a broom and she goes, and then she flies away.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Yeah, she, like that's it. And you know what? She's gonna have a great year. She's gonna have a great year. She did. She did have a great year. She did. I just saw that she's headlining World Pride,
Starting point is 00:47:16 along with RuPaul and me. Wait, RuPaul is gonna go? Yes, I'm doing solid pink disco at World Pride. RuPaul's DJing at World Pride. I don't know if she's doing drag. I don't know. No, no, not doing drag and pod. I hope I can go because you know, I turn up for that RuPaul shit.
Starting point is 00:47:29 And she's gonna be on the roller skates I bet. That's a fun time. That's what I'm- She wants to get down and get groovy. Woo woo. Everybody Wang Chung tonight. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:47:38 Everybody have fun tonight. If you could put one song, you know RuPaul loves music. Wait, wait, wait. If you don't like me at you know, RuPaul loves music. Wait, wait, wait. If you don't like me at my fun, you don't deserve me at my wangchung. You know, RuPaul loves music.
Starting point is 00:47:52 I don't know if you know this because she never mentions it. Yeah, never. She always says it like, funny thing about me, I like music. And it's like, girl, I like people, places, and things. Like, girl. I'm interested in doing stuff. But if you had to put one song in a thumb drive to like try to get this or this some RuPaul
Starting point is 00:48:09 Like what would be the song we're like, I know she'll love this song car wash car wash, baby I was right the five-minute version Rose Rose Royce a groove is in the heart. Oh, of course. Yes. Yeah, and then I feel love of I feel feel love of Donna Summer. That's a little played out though these days. Yeah. Yeah, Donna Summer and Donna Ross should kind of like sit down and shut up. Yeah, maybe you should shut.
Starting point is 00:48:34 They should kind of like sit down and shut up. Jasmine Crockett, what would you say, girl, what would you say to Diana Ross music right now? Fuck off. Fuck off. I'll play for you, it's so cun off. Fuck off. I'll play it for you. It's so cunty. No, anything I would, oh, what's the,

Starting point is 00:49:02 I would say, fuck off. It's so fierce. There's something very Lee Dawson about it. It's also, well, yes. Well, yes. Yeah, totally. Fuck off. Lee Dawson, we're in the very,
Starting point is 00:49:14 we are actually in the unedited, does it need to be edited Lee Dawson era of politics? It's chaos, confusion, madness. It sure is. Can I shout from the mountain to you about this concert? Yeah, I want to do a concert too. Okay, we'll go back and forth, but me first. I have a little less to say.
Starting point is 00:49:30 So do it, okay. So I went to see Kylie. Minogue! Yeah. No, Jenner. I went to see Karlie Jenner. What? I went to see Kylie Jenner.
Starting point is 00:49:42 No, I went to see Klay Minogue. I was in Sydney for Mardi Gras and she was doing three nights at this huge arena and Rimmel London. Hi Rimmel Rimmel gave me a see the London VIP influencer station which was like just just Naked bitches tossing their hair in front of ring lights Love Rimmel and the girl in front of me. She kept having a guy film and okay You're gonna pretend you're filming me and I'm gonna do like kind of like what she was doing
Starting point is 00:50:20 She would like she would like wait for the hit songs to play and then she would make them film. And it would be like, la la la, la la. And she would be like, she was wearing a shirt that was mostly jewelry. Like Goodfrey didn't know who she was. She took a picture with me, she said she's a fan. Hi girl, don't know who you are. You look fucking great.
Starting point is 00:50:37 How was the show? I've never seen Kylie Minogue before. And I would say- Did she do all the lovers? Did she do all the lovers? Yes. I know probably 15 Kylie Minogue songs by heart. Which I know that for Kylie before and I would say- Did she do all the lovers? Did she do all the lovers? Yes. Oh thank God. I know probably 15 Kylie Minogue songs by heart.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Which I know that for Kylie it's not a lot cause a long catalog, a lot of songs. Same as Madonna, I would say. I'm not super fan. I know a dozen songs of them like for sure. Sure, sure, sure. That Kylie shit, I loved it. It was great.
Starting point is 00:50:59 She looked great. She looked beautiful. She really sang. It was amazing. Five foot in a whisper, tiny little thing. And there's this time where she goes to, you know those arenas, they have a little platform in the back?
Starting point is 00:51:07 She goes out there and a guy with a guitar comes, she did locomotion. Oh, fabulous. And ran around the audience while cameras followed her. It was crazy. It was like she was on Price is Right, just running through the aisles. And the price is rought.
Starting point is 00:51:20 The price is rought. And Mecca's. Harley Menard. She was like trying to, you know, every song has an intro. She's like, and thiska's. Carly Menard. She was like trying to, you know, every song has an intro. She's like, and this song's for the lovers, whatever. For her to try to shoe in the locomotion. This song is for the movers.
Starting point is 00:51:33 She's like, she's like, I heard that in Sydney, they gonna make a stolt with the locomotion. And these Aussies just start, they start pissing out of their ass. Cause this is their single ladies. start pissing out of their ass. Cause this is their single ladies. Pissing out of their eyeballs. Yeah. And seeing Kylie in Sydney on Mardi Gras, sold out stadium, it was thrilling.
Starting point is 00:51:53 That's the way to do it. And she sits down and she sings a song from her disco record. And she says, I always imagined singing this song for all of you. And this album came out when COVID happened. And I never got to like live my dream. I forget the song, but it was a ballad.
Starting point is 00:52:07 And she sits and the guy's playing the guitar and she's singing and it's so intimate. She's so gorgeous. And the camera work, the people running around with the cameras make every seat the best seat in the house. I could see her face and her voice and her eyes. And she's singing this song like it's just, this is what she's made to do.
Starting point is 00:52:22 And a disco ball comes down while she's singing and starts spinning and confetti falls. I start crying like my mom died. I start crying like my mother's dead. Like I'm looking at her dead body. Like the doctor walks in and says, we did everything we could to save her life and your mother's dead.
Starting point is 00:52:40 And in fact, your whole family died too. Yeah, I'm Sarah Palms. Oh, like I'm really... You're Claire Danes in Homeland. Yes. It was such a good concert. It was so beautiful. And I thank you to Rimmel for giving me the tickets.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Thank you, Rimmel. Pouring out for Rimmel. What did you see? Mary Svetlana Sergeyevna Labada. And let me tell you one thing. Ask me if there was a yellow suit in attendance. Was there a big yellow suit? Absolutely the fuck not, there was.
Starting point is 00:53:07 She took the note. She, very... Do you think she heard about you hitting her suit? Yes, I do believe she has. Let me tell you something. So got tickets to go. And now I went with my friend Michi, who had gone to the other concert when she was in LA
Starting point is 00:53:21 that I couldn't go to because I had to go to the funding firm. But, you know, that was a kind of a flop concert, turns out. She was hours late, not a great show. You could have busted out at the Funny Farm to see her. I know, but I was so... Somebody at Cellapink Disco said they left the hospital to come to the disco, and they were going back
Starting point is 00:53:36 to the hospital afterward. Music saves lives. There you go. I said, thank you. A DJ saved my life tonight? Hello? There was a friend with her pushing her chair, and I said, are you the friend who broke her out? The friend was like, I was like, I love that.
Starting point is 00:53:47 God is a DJ, life is a dance floor. Love it. So the looks were gorge. I saw it on your story. I was worried. I was worried about the following. A, the venue. B, our general admission tickets.
Starting point is 00:53:58 That means standing. Grandma gets cranky. And C, I was really worried. She's like, if that bitch is three hours late, I swear to fucking God. So we roll up. Showtime is 8 o'clock. She's like, if that bitch is three hours late, I swear to fucking God. So we roll up, showtime is eight o'clock. That's what they say on the tickets.
Starting point is 00:54:09 7.45 we're there. Someone from the staff, Katya brings us right up to a fucking balcony, bitch. Thank God. Right up to a balcony all to ourselves. It helps to be a pretend Russian. I was like, holy shit. I was like, and she just, we never would have seen,
Starting point is 00:54:26 she never would have seen me. It sounds like a dream. I know. Katya, Lumbada is asking for you. And then she grabs your hand and just starts French kissing you right on the pussy. She pulls down my pants and my panties. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:38 So we're up at the box. She untucks your cocks, she takes the cage off it, and you guys start playing. With your gear. With your gear. With your gear. Okay, so you had great, was the balcony better seats? Oh yes, well the seats being the operative word. Horny.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Horny for seats. But guess what? That hoe was prompt and professional and she sure did have her whores come on stage around 8.05 or whatever. And that bitch had choreo, she had outfit changes, she talked a lot, played all the hits. My little granny ass hardly hit the seat because I was screaming every fucking word, sweating my life away. I was like doing this, she would do this leg thing, I was doing the leg thing. You were shooting like a Simon
Starting point is 00:55:23 Says situation. I was, I was gooned. You were Amy Pollard Mean Girls. You were like, Oh my God. So embarrassing. And I was like, I was just, I had the time of my life. I loved it. And like you said with the video, they had, they videotaped her so well that like all around you could see her gorgeous fucking face, her fabulous wiggy wig and her... The full wig? She did a banged wig, yeah. It's very wiggy, I love it.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I feel like for the pop stars there's three settings. It's either pretty much the real hair, which Kylie just had the under pieces, you can tell she had some magic, but it was her real part, her real bangs. The Erica Jane, which is hair snatched back with just hair pinned to it, which is a little draggy. Or the full wig. And then she, it's funny because she and I share a movement vocabulary, which is wiggle wiggle,
Starting point is 00:56:15 shimmy shimmy, point, huh huh, huh huh huh, and then freak out. And she did the freak out, and I lived. There was like strobes, everything. And she sounded actually great. This is really different than your Florida experience. It was, I received, it was like God said, you know what, you suffered so much and you spent so much. Right. And for that, we are going to reward you about four years later. And that show was cunt. Good for you.
Starting point is 00:56:46 All the choreo was on point. There were no costume malfunctions. The girls were sickening. She came out with a pimp can at one point. She had this, um... One point she had this giant white fur coat with like a rhinestone bikini underneath. Just like nasty. Nasty, put some clothes on. And, um...
Starting point is 00:57:02 Nasty clothes? Sheep, um, I knew every single fucking word to every song and I shouted it until I was hoarse. She did. It's not, listen, all due respect, not a powerhouse vocalist. Who cares? But she sang live to my,
Starting point is 00:57:16 and I was like really worried about that. She sounded great. She's the person who I feel like she does everything in her power to be the healthiest, prettiest, best version of herself. You know, I'm not a hater. I don't need to go to things and talk about what they weren't good at.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Right, right, right. Yeah. Right. Like, when we were growing up and there was conversations about, like, Britney Spears singing or conversations about, I don't know, so-and-so's dancing. It's like, I know what they're good at, and I'm here for it. I'm not here to ruminate on what I think should be better.
Starting point is 00:57:49 That's hater energy. Yeah, exactly. Especially if you're holding them to an unrealistic expectation. That Miami show, however, I'm telling you, was a real letdown. Because I know what she's capable of. And this was, she's capable of so many costume changes.
Starting point is 00:58:03 She was... Did you get to meet her? So that was the thing. I was in touch. You ran backstage and they carried you out in handcuffs. No, her publicist who lives in Europe got me the tickets, reached out on Instagram. So I was like, oh, so this is how I'm gonna get in there.
Starting point is 00:58:18 But her publicist was in Europe at the time. We waited, we waited outside forever, forever, forever. Like we felt, I felt stupid, I felt a little lame. You were at the stage door, you were gonna run up to her. Oh yeah, yeah. And I was, I was, I was. The killer. I was DMing her on Instagram, tagging her, scene, scene.
Starting point is 00:58:34 You up? Scene, scene. Yeah, your message is, I know you saw that ho. Yeah, get off the floor. Get off the floor ho. If we, the irony, five minutes later, could have met her. She came out five minutes after we left. She's probably getting on a drag.
Starting point is 00:58:50 No, she looked, the thing is, she came out, we saw it on Instagram, she looked spectacular. She looked like... Costume change, look change. She looked better than she came out. I mean, it was like no change at all. Like she hadn't done a show. It was incredible. But, I mean, I probably would have just been stupid. I would have died to get a picture with it though. I would have next time yeah
Starting point is 00:59:08 But love it out you fucking killed it. You better yank that shit off good for her. So happy it delivered good for her Yeah, it was amazing. I had so much fun. I think about it every day Yeah, I like to see the big pop girls now I saw why I did it I saw Madonna last year. Did you love this? I saw Cindy. Oh Cindy, yeah. And then I saw Kylie. Kylie?
Starting point is 00:59:28 I think I gotta see the Beyonce, Calbert Carter, but I'm not willing to lie, cheat, and kill. I was talking to Shea CouleƩ, I was like, Shea, how do I get tickets? She said, girl, I don't even know. Blackbird singing from the parking lot. You know, that's what they're saying, cause they're gonna be,
Starting point is 00:59:43 Blackbird singing from the parking lot. They're gonna get in the parking lot. They can't get in the door, it's what they're saying, because they're going to be Blackbird singing from the parking lot. They're going to get in the parking lot. They can't get in the door. It's too expensive. Well, that's what Shay was like, girl. $1,400 for a nosebleed ticket? What kind of earth are we living upon? Love it, I was $200.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Well, Shay's doing one of the Sala Pink disco dates. We have some great openers. No, not me. You didn't ask me, but it's me. I was talking. I went to see Leland DJ after Kylie Minogue. He was DJing at Mardi Gras. And I said, oh, yeah, we have some great openers. Not me, you didn't ask me, but it's fine. I was talking, I went to see Leland DJ after Kylie Minogue. He was DJing at Mardi Gras, and I said,
Starting point is 01:00:08 oh yeah, we have some great openers for Solid Pink Disco. I said, you know, Rebecca Black, A-Track, Daya, you know Daya, where do the good boys go to? Hideaway, I said, do you know her? He said, I wrote that song. I said, okay, great. I love when I'm like, do you know her? He's like, no her.
Starting point is 01:00:24 I wrote that fucking song. He goes, I am her. And then like, do you know her? He's like, no her. I am her. He goes, I am her. And then after Leland, same night, I went to see Honey Dejean DJ and I never seen it. I love house music. I love dance music. It was so big and so hot and dark in there and just all naked men. And I know that's a dream for many people,
Starting point is 01:00:43 but those environments make me uncomfortable. Yeah. So I either have to drink more or leave. And I know that's a dream for many people, but those environments make me uncomfortable. Yeah, it does. So I either have to drink more or leave, and I did both. Well, perfect. Okay, goodbye. Bye.
