Like in the hotel? Was it like during a challenge? No, they don't even let you. So, you know, they trap us. They accost us, honey, and put us in our own rooms and we can't see each other. But then the gag is they'll be like, oh, don't, you can't, not too much.

Because we're not, but hard ice, can't talk. You know what I mean? You can't talk. No, because you have to. Save it for the camera. Save it for the camera. I was like, that's not stopping me, game, recognizing that game, so I could fight with the cameras on.

I really don't care. You know what I mean? So, so like, yeah, I was like, for on camera, I'll for an off camera, I'll be whispering. You know what I did not care. Oh, for sure. There was one moment I'll never forget. It was the van ride back. This had been, like, episode, like, three or something. So on the way back, and, like, I'm, like,

talking to Lydia, like, talk a certain lap. And then we're, like, sitting, like, next to each other in the van. And Leah just goes, like, I wish you could just, like, come to my room. fuck me tonight. And I was like, oh, my God. Well, yeah. I was like, oh, good to know.

Good to know. Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me? Why won't you date me a podcast for me, Nicole Beyer, has been trying to figure out why I was so single all these years, even though you could come on a table and tell me it was a dice. My guest today is a drag queen. What? Who competed on season 17 of Rupertball?

Drag Race ever heard of it, and I enjoy her so much. It's Gory! I'm so excited. I think you're so fucking funny. Thank you. I don't even know what. I just live my life. Truly, I am just me at this point.

And that's why I like it. Like, I live in my own world at this point. It's just like, especially the farther I've given for Drag Race, the longer has been, the more I'm just like, I feel like I'm just like that weird, like, person that lives on the islands. But that's what I like. I like when people go, this is what I think is funny. do you? Yeah.

And then it's just like, yeah, it's weird and it's silly. And it's just, it really makes me laugh. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay. So when did you start doing drag? Oh, my God. It's probably 2022.

So it's been about three years now. Yeah. So a really quick, I know, right? Yeah, I was like, what's that math? What year is it now? Yeah. Before that, I was a store manager at Walgreens. And I know filling prescriptions.

I was, oh. Wait. You fill in. prescription? I was PTCB certified, yes. PTB hoodoo? What? Basically, I was not a pharmacist, but I was able to basically, like, I could run a pharmacy pretty firstly. Wait, okay, I don't understand anything about pharmacies. So, you counted the pills. Yes, like, and then.

Day the birth? Day the birth? It's, yeah, your Sarah Quill is not ready, ma'am. It's going to have to come back. Oh, yeah, I used to. So what does the pharmacist do? See, and that's, don't even get me fucking started. So the problem is they get paid all this fucking money. They get paid, and they know all of these things about pharmacy nonsense. But if you stick them in a pharmacy, they don't know how to work the POS.

Now I'm really getting nerdy. They don't know how to work the computer system. Well, I have. I'm interested. They don't know how work the computer system. So, yeah, they know what pill works and what to do. But they don't even know how to fucking ring it out. So it's like, I'm basically teaching the pharmacist how to do their job.

Oh, yeah. That's wild. On top of running, the front. of the store. So like now someone needs a bag of chips in the front and I also someone's crying for pills in the back. You know what I mean? It's like... Here's a question. This is a very personal question. Go for it. How come

Vibance, it's a controlled substance. How come the doctor will put a refill in but then Walgreens was, they're like, no, you have to get another prescription from your doctor. No, honestly, okay. It's a little...

Now we're talking. This is nobody ever thought this is where the conversation would go, but I'm like, I need answers. Long story short, you would need permission for, it'll be like illegal, basically. They'd be able to need permission from the doctor to be able to even like bring it out or like, or fill it, you what I mean? But that was the question, you guys. You said, anyway, so about my drugs.

About my life answer. Well, it's hard because I have to remember every month, but I take the fucking medication to remember. So when I don't have it, I don't remember. And then I'm in this cycle. Oh, we had, I mean, I've had crazy customers. Oh, tell me. I love a wild person.

Okay, so the one that was really horrible, so it was Christmas, it was Christmas Day or, no, it was Christmas Eve, because it was crazy. The line is around the store. We're all running around the front of the store. The pharmacy's burning down. We're all struggling to get by. And then this, like, lady runs into the front store screaming out of us. And I was like, what are you?

You're doing a lot. She's like, there's a woman in the bathroom, naked. taking a shower. And I was like, that's not true. That's simply not true. Yeah, and I was over there like, I was like, anyway, because I'm like, it's too much things going on. And she was like, no, she's there naked in the bathroom.

And I was like, okay, fine. So I'm like the shift lead on duty. So I run to the bathroom and lo and behold, there's a lady but naked. Like she had to be like 60-70, but naked, just like washing herself. Just not in a stall, just out. Just out in the sink, just wash it.

Just go in hand. Like, suds. Suds. Suds. Suds. She said, oh, wait. Give me the Ola. No, literally.

So she'd rub her herself with hand soap. I'm telling her to get out. And then my coworker's like, can you not be so rude? It's Christmas. And I was like, bitch. She's fucking naked. That's really funny. And a walkie.

She needs to fucking leave. How were you supposed to have Christmas cheer? Like jingle bells, your tities? You got to put them away? It was insane. So then she literally just like, and I like, like literally 10, 15 minutes of yelling. She finally slowly walks out of the bathroom. Still naked.

Still naked. And the bathroom, mind you, was not at the front of the store. Oh, no, no, no. No, it's in the back of the store. All the way at the back of the store. So she's walking naked arguing with me, because like I'm crazy. Like, I'm the crazy one. Arguing with me as she sets up naked walking out of the store.

That's wild. So Mary fucking Mrs. That's wild. Tell me another. Oh, the sad part is, they have another one. There was, this is the pharmacy. So it's an overnight shift. Overnight is when it really gets.

The pharmacy is open overnight? Huh? So some stores, yeah. So my store was 24 hours. So the store I was trained at was the busiest store in the district. And so there was this one lady that she was like, oh, my prescription, I'm going to wait here until midnight because the midnight is when she thinks her prescription is going to be done because the next day.

So she stays, sits there and stays. till midnight. And she's like, all right, my prescription's done, give it to me now. And they're like, well, the system technically doesn't restart it until 3 a.m. So you have to be here until 3 a.m. So she screams, yells. And it was like, it was back when, like, COVID was still happening. So we had like shields

on like the, um, everything. So she's like, spitting on the shield. And she's over there like, I have COVID. You're gonna die. I have COVID. You're gonna die? Yeah, because it was back in the hike, honey. It was fresh, honey. We even know what's going on. So she's hacking Lugies at the screen.

She's throwing stuff at the screen for an hour. Like an hour. And I was like, I was like, this is, you have to leave. So I called the police. The pharmacy is there. I'm in the front. I call the police. The police has to stand there. And then they can't legally

kick her out. What? Because she has prescriptions. She can't get banned. Because she has a prescription. So that was like the leeway. It's like, oh, well, she technically she has to be here. So she just stands there and the police stand next to her for the next two hours until she can get her prescription to leave.

That's wild. So I have seen. You've seen it all. So like when I see like a drag, like a tough crowd, I'm like, oh, please, this is like shit. You know what I mean? Like I had sets up naked old ladies in the bathroom, you know what I mean? Also that lady who was waiting, I've done that, not at the pharmacy. I've done that at 24-hour McDonald's where you get an appetizer of dinner and then you wait for breakfast.

Really? Mm-hmm. I'm a professional fat, okay? That's fierce. It's fun. Have you ever stood in the drive-thru? No. Wait, yes. It was like a bunch of us.

There was like five or six of us, and we were jumping trying to, like, cause the sensor. And I don't know if they, like, knew we were out there, but we then had to walk up to the window and they were like, you can't do this. You have to come inside. If you're on the right day, you could do your big one. You can't. Really? Nobody's ever let me have fun in a joke. drive through. I'd be like, please.

It's Christmas. I took a shot with the Walgreens. You chose your drag name because it was unisex. Yes. Why? Well, because when I started drag, I was like, I knew it was going to be like my thing. I knew I was going to like do it professionally.

And there is just something so disgusting about being fully out of drag, just like in full, full man. And someone's like, girl Sarah, what's the tea? Yes. That is very funny. And some people are like, some drag queens, I don't know why they pride themselves

on giving themselves the stupidest names in America. And then you have to live with it forever. You what I mean? Like that's like for my season, like imagine what can she? Joella. I'm like, she's just looking for a man, honey. But everyone's calling her Joella. That's not the tea.

That's really funny. I was like, that's not the tea. I can't. Also, I love. Oh, I live for Joella. Joella, if you're watching this, love you. Here's the thing. Here's what I'm going to say about her mattress look. Please, talk about it.

It was camp. Tell it to me because I wasn't buying it when I was there. It was camp and I fucking loved it. Okay, but see, the problem was in the room, standing right there, fabulous, sickening. And so we got to deliberations because it wasn't stiff, you know what I mean? Like, it wasn't stiff. So as her arms were holding it up, right?

So as she got tired during deliberations and it would slowly deflate. Until it was just like, yeah, it's just like a ghost sheet. I loved it. It made me laugh so hard. I gagged. And personally, that's, I like drag that makes me, like, have feelings. Do you know what I mean? It's like, that made me laugh so hard.

That's good drag to me. I was like this. Just her little head. And she was telling it too. She said, I was that bitch, you're trying. I loved it. All the sewing challenges on your season. Girl.

Drag race, if you're listening, we got to pack them sewing challenges up. This isn't, like, ain't nobody's sewing no more. It's not giving that. Like, that's not a fun talent to watch or see or have. Like, that's not, like. Yeah, the creation of it, you're like, okay. Okay, now what?

And then you see it, you're like, okay. Because I get bored. So, like, now I'm like, now I got to fight somebody. You know what I mean? Because, like, now I'm bored. Because now I got to fight somebody? Because I can't sew, so I got to do something for me. You know what I mean?

So, like. Why didn't, why, why, why not bring patterns with you? So, I did. Oh, you did? Oh, I, 100% I did. That doesn't change the fact that I didn't know how to sell. Fair. I asked my, like, my one, like, friend that could sell was like,

keep bringing me some patterns. They're like, yeah, of course. So I had all these patterns. I don't know what to do with them. Wait. So you brought patterns but didn't test them out? No. I love you.

No. That's iconic. That's so funny to be like, I have them. I have them. I have 100% did. They didn't know how you use them. And then at first I was like, I could use these. And then I'm like, I'm reading it.

I'm looking at it. I'm like, this numbers and shit. I'm like, what the fuck's going on? I thought it was like cut out a circle, two circles, and then you got to dress some shit. No. No, it was not. It was horrible. It's hard.

And also my, all of my drag was so messy. Like, I just had shit random places. So I didn't even have like the right patterns and the right bin. Like, I didn't even know where the rest. I had like half of a dress pattern. Like, it was like, like, it was like, like, Like, yeah, it was networking. I love that.

It was just like. You said I'm just going with a wish and a hope. Oh, I fully went in and I was like, I'm having fun. I was like. I thought you were so funny on your season. It was like, I'm here to cut up. And you found love. No, literally, I really won it all.

Like, yes. Cameo, love. Yeah. And you unseated. What's her name? Wake that bitch up. Wake that. In April, 2025, you unseated Nikki Blonsky.

as the top position on cameo. Well, yes. So let me tell you something about this bitch, this fucking loose tooth bitch. This loose tooth bitch! Well, that was one of the cameos of hers that, like, so, like, went viral. Yeah, she was like wiggling her loose tooth, right?

No. Oh, wait, fell out? She was on the toilet talking, doing cameo. The tooth fell out her mouth. She was over, like, thank you so much. It came out, and she, like, pop the back end, mid-camio. And it was like, I was so over it.

I was like, this bitch is charging $100. On the toilet, two fall now, doing the same. And then she's, the bitch sings, I'll kick on her the bitch. The bitch sings the same song for every cameo every single time. So every cameo is, I will literally, it's literally just this. I can hear the bells, the wedding bells. It's your, like, shut up. Shut up.

She's like, she's in one fucking play and now the bitch can do anything else. She's like a fucking robot. I'm over it. She's AI at this point. She really doesn't do anything else. It's just hairspray. That's it. Although, have you ever seen the video of her talking about Zach Ephron and how they have a connection?

Does she like? Well, they were in hairspray together. Oh, my God. Never watched it. And I support that bitch. I'm like, I love it. You're just like, I'm never going to support her before I knew who she was. Now I know who she is.

I'm still not supporting her. No, Lydia was like. She was singing a hairspray song. I had no idea what this... This play... What is it? A movie? It's a musical.

Is it both? Is it everything? Okay. It was on Broadway and then it became a movie. What the fuck it is? I didn't know what it was. I thought it was about a woman wanting to be like a famous hairstylist. I didn't know...

Honestly, through context clues, you were like... That's what I thought. I didn't know that was a whole... It's called hairspray. It was like a race thing going on. I was like segregate. I didn't know. So I thought I was just like...

And fat people? No, literally. I was like, I thought this was just like a hair show or something. That's really funny. Yeah, so I don't even know what the bitch does now like, which is crazy. Wait, tell me about finding love on television. No, crazy, right? That's not a dating show.

No, literally. I don't know. Them dating shows look, that look like the fool to me. Like, that, for me, it's scary. It is scary. Because now it's like, at least drag race, for me, it was like, real. We weren't looking for love It just kind of like falls into your lap

You know what I mean? I feel like a dating show When you just meant to date Like if you come out single damn bitch What the fuck? What now? It's like uh oh You get no money

You're a piece of shit Right It's just like now you're lonely You're only hungry You know what I mean? The fuck happens now But yeah it was it was great It was just so like

How did it happen? Honestly Lydia she swear She did not make the first move She made the first move She was strong, honey She came on strong, yeah But like where?

Like in the hotel? Was it like during a challenge? No, they don't even let you So you know, they trap us They accost us honey and put us in Our own rooms and we can't see each other Only like when we're filming Or like a couple of minutes of like lunch

You know what I mean Or the van back You know what I mean? So like if you're gonna like Flour and make your move You got to wake it up at lunch You what I mean? But then the gag is

They'll be like Oh don't you can can't, not too much, because, like, we're not, but hard ice, can't talk. You know what I mean? Can't talk. You know what I mean? Well, just be like you can't talk? No, because you have to. Save it for the cameras.

Save it for the camera. So I'm over, like, I was like, that's not stopping me. Game, I recognize games. So I could fight with the cameras on. I really don't care. You know what I mean? So, so like, yeah, I was like, for on camera, I'll for an off camera. I'll be whispering.

You know what I did not care. Oh, for sure. There was one moment I'll never forget. It was the van ride back. This had to have been, like, episode like, three or something. So on the way back, and I'm like talking, I'm like talking to Lydia like talking to set in the lap. And then we're like sitting like next to each other in the van. And Leah just goes like, I wish you could just like come to my room and fuck me tonight.

And I was like, oh, my God. Well, yeah. I was like, oh, good to know, good to know. So yeah, that was a very, very quick. Good to know. Quick turnaround. Well, good to know. Yeah.

That's so funny. That's kind of wild that you didn't have very much time to like interact with just Lydia. Yeah. Oh, at all. And then after the show, that's when your relationship, like, blossomed. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And then you guys were long distance for a little bit?

Yeah, we're long distance for, like, the whole year of before our season aired. You know what I mean? Because I was still in Boston. She was in Pittsburgh. And then after we aired, then I, like, we would always, like, travel, fly back and forth to see each other. And then move to Pittsburgh. I know, right? That's really fucking sweet.

Let's bring back love. Let's bring back love. Kind of. Yeah. It's really fucking sweet. So you guys have been together for two, three? No, I think like a year has some change, I want to say. Oh, okay.

Yeah. What's the thing you like most about Lydia? Huh? You know what? I love, like, they call it, the girls on Twitter call it like the whimsy. Like, she loves, she's like, oh, do you see that twig on the floor? I'm over here like, what, babe? The twig on the floor, look how it just looks so twiggy.

I'm like, I love the twig on the floor, babe. I love that. Like, she finds joy. in the most horrendous things. I'm the Lydia in my relationship. Are you? I'm constantly like, oh my God. Look at that cow over there.

He's like, okay. We'll go on the plane and she'll be like, look at the sky. I'm like, yeah, we've been on a plane for like a month and a half. Like every day for 30 days. We were always on plane. I was like, girl, yeah, it's the sky.

Yeah, it's the sky, baby. I was like, I love it. But you just have to find the whimsy in life, or at least that's what I have to. Yeah, oh, I'm like fully dead inside at this point. I know. Oh my God, way to bring it down. I, oh, I'm that girl.

It's like, I just love to. Like, I am the autistic person that just loves to work. Like, that's my, like, my, like, thing. So, like, if it's not work, I don't want to do it. So the girls are like, let's go to the park. I'm like, I'm on top it. But what do you do for fun? Work.

and the dad's fucking the kid like it was just like a lot of drama yeah it was a lot so how do you let it get to 20 like at 10 don't you go Well, this is overwhelming.

What the problem is, like, you don't know when they'd be fucking. You know what I mean? So it's like you start with three. You're like, wow, okay, now I got seven. Okay, that was weird. Anyway, that's fine. They're all in the same cage. Well, they have like two cages.

Can I ask about your dating life before drag race? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Were you fucking all the time? Did you have partners? Were you monogamous? Were you in and out? Tell me. Okay, so I had I had one boyfriend in high school. Oh my God. Horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Throw it away. Throw it away. Throw it away. It was trash. It was just like something about high school.

I was like, oh, my God. Like, I want to be like that girl that's like, oh, I got my man here. I got my man here. It's just, he was so annoying and so aggravating. How long did you date him? Like a year. It was a year. And then after I did the whole like single life for like a while.

And then I have my other boyfriend for like four years. Oh, damn. I know, right? That's a long time. Yeah. Yeah. And you grew up in Boston? Yes.

Born raised. Born raised. And Boston. Boston, it's great. It has this ups and downs. But I, and I still love it, still love it. But I'm all set. I'm all sad.

Boston is a curious place. It's truly so strange. I like it. But it is strangely racist in a way that isn't scary, but just like, oh, you said that. Oh, my God. Like, I don't think anyone's going to hurt me, but I'm like, why would you say that? Like, they're like, oh, yeah. Yeah, like, you know, like the other black people.

Yes, yes, marry that. They'll say black and say white. They won't say black. Black. Black. Why did you say it like that? You're not black like the other people. Okay.

I'm like, thank you. Thank you. I think. I'm like, anyway. I'm like, who is like those ones? Name them. That's funny. I've never thought to say that.

You're like, well, which was you talking about? Which one? Like, you know. Like, you know, like. You know, her. And it's like, oh. I don't know. I'm like, I didn't know she was that black.

Thank you for telling me. Wait, how old are you? I'm 25. Oh, my God, you're so young. What? 25 is young. How old are you? Older than 25?

I'm like 42. Are you serious? No, I think I'm... Do you know how old I am? I have to Google it. I think I'm 40. And I turned 40 this year. No.

What? No. I thought I was, Google says you're 39. I'm 39. I thought I was turning 40 this year. And then I was told I was 39. So then I didn't have a 40th birthday. I fully thought you were like, like 32.

Like 31. No, Diva. She's an old bitch. No, that was all talking to Bob, Bob the drug queen. And I literally, he was like, like, how old is your mom? I was like, 45. And he was like, huh? That is wild.

I was like, yes. Your mom's 45? Yes. Yeah. My mom is literally just, it's just, it's just. just me. She's just me, honestly, we're the same person. It's like, for better for words. Oh, she loves it. She came to my drag,

my like drag brunch in Boston one time for her birthday. Blackout drunk and in a, like a Bob wig because she wanted to feel like a drag queen that day. And then during my number, of course, I'm doing like this Whitney Houston number, of course. I'm just like, because girl, brunch, straight people, I gotta get what they want, I gotta shake the keys, you know what I mean? So I'm doing this Whitney Houston number. And my mom, it's like the quiet part of I'll always love you.

And it's like a live version of her. And she goes, that's my son. That's my son. Look, everybody, that's my son. Wait, I mean my daughter. I mean my, hell no. Corey, I'm dying. That is so funny.

My son, my daughter. I actually, I don't know. She's standing. Standing, standing, mind you. It's so happy for me. I love that. much. It was, yeah, that was... It's just like misplaced support.

Yeah. You just needed to sit. Yeah, I was like, the clap was fine. Throw a dollar. I got it. That's my son. That's my daughter. I don't know. I don't know. But that's mine up there. I was like, I just did the Medina number. Why didn't you do this for the Medina? That would have been funny. I was like, not the Whitney number. I love that so much. I love hearing when like parents are just happy that their kids are doing what they want to

be doing. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my mom, she wants to be down so bad. She'll text me randomly. She'll like, she looked at him the other day and she was like, what if I go on your YouTube channel and like you turn me into a drag queen and like I could be like the mom. I was like, and she's like giving me note. Why don't you do that? Huh? This is too much. Okay. I get it. Because my mom was so my mom was like a cheerleader for like professionally. For the Boston Celtics? I don't know. I don't know. 45. I don't know when that happened. before my time. But she was like, because she went to like a high, like this like rich,

the white people with the white high school, honey. She was just like this rich high school and she was like doing Chilean for years. So if I had to do the makeover challenge on drag race, she was going to be the one. And when I tell you, she would have, she wouldn't put me to work, honey. She would have. I would love to see it. I think you should do it.

I might. I might. I might. I might. I might have to. That just sounds like a headache. She's never going to take the makeup. off. She's next...

She just keeps it on. It crusts right up. Oh, yes. That was... Oh, my God. That was me when I was Michael Jackson, and I had it on for two days. That was... Wait, why did you have it on for two days? Okay, so, for the people that don't know, I dressed up as Michael Jackson for the Emmys. And, um, because I just, I wanted to have fun. And also, I just knew it was going to be a lot of sitting and standing and waiting. And I didn't want to be yanked and pulled and snatched and tugged.

So I was like, you know what? How else could I do it? Spent thousands of dollars in our prosthetic to be Michael Jackson. So then I'm Michael Jackson for the whole Emmys, but I was telling all my fans, I was like, I'm doing cameos as Michael Jackson, make sure to buy them. And I left my cameos open during the whole entire... So then you had a lot to do.

So I had, like, 100 cameos as Michael Jackson had to be done. And of course, during the whole Emmys, no shade, it was boring. So, of course, what did I do? Yes, award shows are going to drink. Are so boring. Yeah, it was like every commercial break, I got up and got a vodka on the rocks.

So about six, No mixer? No, too many calories. Girl, diet, I got... Seltzer has zero calories. Okay, but I don't have to pee. Okay, fair. I'm feeling real nice right now.

Literally. So I just get back to my hotel, pass out, I am done. So I fall asleep, I'm still in it. And I wake up and I'm like, damn, I still got these cameos to do. So I did cameos for another eight hours. And then I, like, took Polaroids and then filmed TikToks and Instagram reels. So then at 6 o'clock. And then I had to wipe it all off.

Not wipe, that's crazy. Peel. Peel it off. Then Uber to my desire to get the costume and then go to a gig in L.A. that same night. So it was, the Emmys was a long two-day day day for me, for sure. That's wild. And I love that so much.

You just like wake up and you're like, well, time to do the cameos. Oh, well, I woke up and I forgot I was in it. And I was, so I woke up. Oh, my God. That's terrified. I went to the bathroom. I went to the bathroom. So I was gagged.

I was a guy That's so funny It was a lot What started the cameos What was your first cameo Was it when you were doing Corey Toot? No, it was like

I started it like Really early on Because I'm very competitive So then I started doing it And then like every other girl Was like doing there So whatever And I saw it was like a leader board

Like a scoreboard Oh Everyone in like that does cameo And then I was all like Oh okay I want to be on number one So then I like drop all my cameos They were like 20 bucks

When I first started And I was all like Y'all get these cameos, let's wake it up. And then I would just randomly do them. And then I started doing the characters. So then I was like, I think the first one was like, um, press week. We had to like be in like New York. So I dressed up as the Grinch. Full prosthetic, green, everything. I was going here. Breastplate. I painted my breast plate green. I was like, green. How did you get the paint off of the breastplate? Because they're like latex, right?

Yeah, I had like makeup white. And I threw it in my tub. Like it was just like, it was a lot. It was like a lot. It was like a lot. I got a green tub now But yeah, no It was like I did that for like for a while And that one blew up And I was all like okay They like the character

Like what else could I do? So I would think of like What's like a mainstream Like easily recognizable character That I could do that people would want to see And I slowly just like catapulted into this like nonsense I...

Okay Here's the thing I like best about it It originates from silliness Yes You literally were just like I want to have fun Oh, 100%. What is a fun way

that I can have fun? And now you make money doing it. And I think that's so incredible. I fucking love it. Because if you're having fun, you never want to stop. I feel like, I feel like some people, like, they get, like, so into their job where it's like, it's not even fun anymore.

And then that's when they lose it and they only want to do it anymore. Or if they're still doing it, you can see that they don't want to do it. You know what I mean? Yeah, when I do stand up, I, my friend Christy is like, she's like, I can watch your set over and over and over again because you will do. something different every time.

And I'm like, well, I have to. I have to keep it fun and interesting for myself. I have to say like a word funny or like do something with my face in this moment that was different than the last show. Otherwise, it's like, what am I doing it for? Yeah, yeah. Because if you're not having fun, they can tell, you know what I mean? Yeah.

So it's like for me, it's like, what can I do for me that people will enjoy? Yes. And I feel like you can take that into like even a job that you hate. Like I worked at Lane Bryant for a really long. time and I would dance so we had a CD that would play I don't know the same songs over and over like if you worked an eight hour

shift you'll hear them like twice or three times and scissors sisters I don't feel like dancing was on one of those CDs so I would just do you know that song or are you too young what is it I don't feel like dancing on some bond on beat do it probably doesn't sound like that I don't have rhythm or I don't know what melodies are but it would come on you're not that type of black

Wow, that really killed me. You're not that type of black. I'm not the rhythm and blues type of black. But that's why I would come on. I would dance. And for like, I don't know, three minutes of that day, I was like happy. I hated that job. I used to walk in a day.

There was so many ways I would keep myself entertained. I used to fully be like, where I would have to like clean things. aisles. If my song was playing, oh, I'm fully doing a drag number in the aisle. And they'll be like the one customer I'm just like, oh, sorry. Or if it was a mean customer, if they're mean, I will throw it back. Like I, I'm not, the customer, the customer thought I was right. Oh, and I can be a certain manager. I will still throw it back. How long did you work at Walgreens? Four years. Yeah, yeah. Those one lady trying to return her dead mother's underwear. And I was like, no. What? I had a lady try to return panty hose that she had worn.

and got her period in. And I'm like, at what point do you, like, when do you get shame? When do you, when do you go, I simply couldn't do this? That's what I'm like, at what point, like, I know times are tough. At this point, it's always going to be tough. Is it that tough? Like, are you doing that poorly? You need that $20 back?

I was like, because at that point, if it's bloody, take a little by mass money. Like, I don't want it. Yeah, I don't want it. It's not worth it. And then I had to take them back. I made a real big production of putting a bag over my hand to touch them. Like it was dog shit because I was like, I'm not fucking touching that. Oh, I would have fully.

And I called the girls over. I was like, look over that. Ladies were returning. So I shamed her, but she got her $20 back. Oh, I love the same. Can someone come here? We need a napkin. We need a nap.

No, it's nothing. It's just some bloody underwear. It's just disgusting. We need a napkin. Can we have a mop, actually? Hold on. I'll put on the intercom. Can we, oh, I would have.

She would have cried that day. She would have to work before Walgreens. Nowhere. It was my only job. Oh, yeah, you're 25. Mm-hmm. Did you go to college? I went to college by the same.

I went to college for one year, and I immediately left. And I went, I was going for things that I did. So I went to a performing arts high school. Okay. But I went to college for, like, communication. So I'm going to- go to college for performing arts or, like, acting or shit. Because I was brought where that's not a real, like, that's not, I was like, you don't

go to college for it. You know what I mean? So I was like, I'll do that on my own time. Ah, yes. And I'll, like, discover myself. getting an actual degree. Actual degree. It's crazy.

I don't have a degree. I went to acting school for two years. I have a certificate that says I can act. That's it. I went for communications. To this day, I still don't know what that is. I don't know what communications is either. And like business.

That's like two things. And the idea for a year. And then they like, when I went to go fill up my like FASPA for like, you know, like grants and stuff like that. They were like, oh, like I was working at walking because of the time. And they're like, you make too much money. You have to actually, you have to pay for college this year. And I was like,

pay. Pay. I want to be here. I want to be here. I'm not paying for this. And I dropped out. That's so funny. That's wild that you were working at Walgreens and they were like, you make too much money.

I was like, I'm not even, I was like, I live with my mom. I was like, I don't even, like, what do you mean? That's wild. I was like, I don't even want it no more. I don't want to do this. I mean, I don't think you need, you just need like some sort of like business savviness. Are you investing your cameo money? Oh, absolutely.

Okay, good. Okay. Next day I went off buying property at this point. Like, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he. Be a landlord. No, can you imagine? I'll come in full drag. I'm like, girl, where is my at?

Where's my money? Where's my money? You do a drag number to bitch better have my money. I have the bowels speaker. I'm like, girl. That's my show, drag me to rant. People come. Drag me to rent.

People come watch me collect the rent for people. Honestly, that's really funny. It's like grim, but very funny. Like, I'll like, you have to pay it, but like, I'll give you a little show for, you mean, like, it's worth the money. But then people will stop paying their rent because they're like, I hope Corey comes. I hope she comes. They come with the rent, like, yes.

Oh my God, they give you the rent in ones. They just tip you the rent. That is crazy. I think we just came up with a new thing for you to do. Yes, you guys. Oh, wait, do we have to take another break? Yes. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

So, I mean, like, obviously they're like, girl, no, they're not trying to get nothing. Yeah, but no one ever comes crazy to me at all. That's very respectful. They know better.

I'm like, bitch, don't get me up today. Please don't get me up today. Honestly, and especially in drag shows, the people that would try to help me the most, for some weird reason is like middle-aged women. middle-aged or like the moms Oh But they brought the daughter And the mom was like You are so beautiful

I had one time at a brunch I would go back to brunch It's every drag horror story I don't care what anybody says It's at the brunch So there was this like This middle-aged woman Not even middle-aged

She was older She must have been like 60s 60s And she like looked at me And she was like You am in full drag And what I mean

Like clown drag Like cut crease Like blue eye Double-stack blonde wig cinch body, like I was dry and she looked at me, she's like, you look just like my ex-husband I'm like

thank you. Thank you so much. Oh, it gets worse. I guess where it? I can tell she's already blackout drug at this place. She grabs my arm, lifts her up, licks to my armpit, smiles, and walks away. And I literally, I'm like I was like, I was like, wrap the show, wrap the show, wrap the show,

Yeah, truly, I have to go home. I'm not safe. I was like, play Lady Marmalade. Rap the show. Rap the show. I'll be Christina. Rap the show. That's wild.

I was like, what possessed you to do it? To lick you. Like, top to bottom of the pit. I was like, and she's smiling and walked away her seat. Like she ate that. Like, it was like, well, she didn't eat that. But I was like, hey, I was what the fuck is going on? So, yeah, they live, I mean.

They live. That is truly. one of the worst things I've ever heard just to have someone else's tongue on your armpit? I was like, did I look manly that day? Your ex-husband is crazy. Also, you have a body. Like, you have a big ass, big old pitties.

What does your ex-husband look like? Now I'm confused. That's wild. Wait, how did you, did you buy your pads like that or did you build your pads? So there's a girl in Boston named Camille Yen. She is like our like, who's like Dr. Miami? That's our doctor Miami. Okay.

And she don't play, bitch. She is very, like, she has studied women's bodies, and she's over here, like, the chicanter bone is down here. The pads need to go lower. Like, she'll, and so we have to go in, all the bosses, we have to go in to do measurements. She takes our measurements for the pads. You know, that's wild.

Maybe I'll go to her. And she'll have to come back for, like, fittings. And, yeah, she'll, like, try them on. And then she'll, like, step away, and she'll be like, all right, take them off, take them off. And then she'll shave more down and fix it, and then you put it back on. Worth it, because your body's, it's incredible. Like watching it on television, I was like, what a fun body. Oh, I was, I was yicked on that show.

It looks so fucking good. Because I remember playing was on the season before me, and I was like, I have to be more snatched than her. I was like, I have to. I like that everything is a competition. Oh, yeah. I have to be more snatched than her. Is she your drag sister? Yes.

Yeah, yeah, that's my sister. The last time we worked together, we were, like, getting ready. And I always, like, if I'm in, like, full drag, I always wear a corset. So I'll put my question on, and she'll already part off and on. And I looked there. I said, oh, no corset. And she was like, huh, fine, fine, fine.

And so we always have to keep each other. We have to keep each other humble. You know, we have to keep each other humble. I love that. No corset, okay. I was, wow, I guess we're a little sloppy right now. I was like, you don't have to put it on. I was just asking, I was confirming.

You know what I mean? That's so funny. Corey, can I ask? Yes. Do you have any advice for single people? Oh, my God. You know, listen, I will say, I, Some people, I think, are meant to be single.

I've lived enough life and met enough people. Data's not for everyone. And that's fun. Like, I can, like, at this point, I've gotten to a point where I can, like, watch someone hang out with them 15 minutes. I'm like, you're supposed to be alone. And that's not a bad thing. No, but it is just blunt.

Yeah, it's blunt. People hate what I'm like, but I'm like, some people on my eye look at, I'm like, this is like, that's not for you. I was like, this is not for you. So some people, you might have to, like, do a little bit of assessment. Maybe it's not for you. And that's okay. But if you are looking for love,

like work on yourself. There's some people I'm over here like, they'll be like, they want to get a relationship. I'm like, but you don't got no job, no car, no activities. I'm like, what are you doing? I was like, work on yourself first. So that's my thing. Bring it back to positive.

Work on yourself first and then fight a relationship. But I would say just like, don't search for it. Have it find you. I feel like you have to truly like it will come. Like, I feel like if you're looking for something, that's when it's like, I feel like you're just going to just take the first thing that, like, falls in your lap. You know what I mean? I agree. Because you found love.

You were just like, I'm going on a show. I'm going to be a drag queen and I'm going to have a nice time. And then you were just being yourself and then you found love. Yeah, I was like, I'm here to yell. I'm like, I'm here to yell and throw drinks. I'm here to yell and throw drinks. Girl, and they only gave you two drinks. Girl, you got, hmm.

I was stealing drinks, too, girl. I was stealing drinks, too, girl. I was stealing. I was still ready. Yes, ma'am. Where were you stealing drinks from? Girl, everybody else that was drinking them. Girl, so I would drink mines, right?

Unless a bitch, she's sad or she cried, whatever. She turned around. I'm like, there was one day, bitch. I was in the bottom. And I had both my drinks. And I had to convince other people. I was like, I'm in the bottom. You should give me a drink.

And then they'll give them the drink. And then like three girls walked to the corner. I drunk everybody drink on that table, bitch. I was like, all of them. Did anyone? Did anyone ever go? Where did my drink go? No.

Because they're too concerned with everything else, so they don't know this. What you do is you slowly, because I was, I would get a sip, Heidi. So I would slowly sip them. I think you might sip a couple of sips. I might sip more. So you think that you were drinking it. You know what I mean? Like, because you have to gas like.

You were drinking. Yes. I drew like four girls drinks and my drink one episode. Did you ever tell them? No. I mean, they know now, but. That's a wild way of it. I gotta get mine.

I gotta get mine. Did they give you real booze or was it the house of love? It was the house to love? But here's the thing, you have to do that math. Because they'll be like at first, you can have two of anyone you want. And of course, we all want the strong one. The tangerine, honey.

That 12% will give you a fuck together. So I was like, I'll have two tangerines until that first episode they saw us, they have them two tangerines. And they were like, you can either have one tangerine or two of the other ones. I'm over here like, I don't know if this is how this works, but I was like, well, the tangerine is 12% and the other ones are 2, 7%, the 2, 7% is the 14% and that was so. I was like, true to do math of like, I'm like, 2, 7% drinks.

Yes, so that's 14% is that stronger than the 12% tangerine? I don't know if that's real, but that's what I was thinking. I don't know if that's real either. So I was like, I just have 2, 7%, I was like, that might, that's like, will wake it. That's 2% that's in my body, you know what I mean? I'm alcoholic. So that's two more percent in my body. No, you're trying to get the most bang for your butt.

Yes. Like if you're going to let me have two drinks, I want to feel the two drinks. Because now I've got to pee. Now if I got to waste my time. Or if it was Elimination Day when I had the drink, I wouldn't eat so that it would hit. So everybody's having lunch, I'm like, no, I'm good. I'm good. I'm going to start today because I want that.

I want that drink to hit. Well, maybe that's alcohol. But also, more bang. for your back. Yeah, I want to feel it. I want to feel it. I'm not going to eat. What? You have a very sunny demeanor. Like, you're a very positive person. I am. I am. I'm a very

positive person, but I'm also, like, I'm like, I'm real. Very, like, real, realistic. So I'd be like, I'm like, yeah, today ain't going to be a good day, but that's fine. You know what I mean? That's very bad. I feel like we have similar personalities because I constantly miss flights and I have friends who are like, doesn't that stress you out? And I'm like, no, there's always another flight.

Also, it's above me. They'll either cancel the show or reschedule the show. But like, I just didn't make it. Yeah, I'm like, listen, at the flag is canceled, I did my due diligence. I came up. Yeah. I do I need to do it. I got to the airport.

I got to the gate and they left. There's nothing, nothing I can do. I was like, at this point, I can't stress about anything. I can't. There'll be some girls that'd be like, no, I need my drink and I need the light. I'm like, baby, it's going to be the same number regardless. Yes. The music's not loud enough. I'm like, I really don't matter. I'm still

check here. Or you can just yell, turn it up. Like, you could change things mid-performance? I'm like, they'll ask me, they'll be like, oh, do you want to do like a sound check? And I'm like, is the mic on? And they're like, yes. And I'm like, then we got it. I don't know who the fuck has been making these people think that everything

leaves a sound check. They were like, for our tour, for the for the Batu King tour, every place had a sound check and it's like an hour before I need to be there. So they were like, oh, you need to be here for sound check. I was like, baby, for what? Press play. Loud.

Yes. Is it loud? As loud as it can go. You did it. You did it. So there was one show that we need to hear for like the sound check and like check at the stage. I was like, I don't want to do it.

I was like, can you guys like please? I was like, I came in there. Mad as fuck. I was like, so what we're supposed to do? What we're doing? And then they were like, oh, like, is this like, is this good? I was like, what? I walk upstairs and become downstairs.

What now? And they're like, is the music good? And I was like, is it loud? And they were like, yeah, we can turn out loud. Okay, am I done? Like, I was like, don't. I don't need it. I just don't do them anymore.

I just go, no. And then if I get on stage and the microphone's a little wonky, I go. I should turn it up. Just turn it up, turn it down. Can you just turn down the monitor, whatever? Yeah, the monitor. Yeah. I don't, I'm not, I don't want to be there longer.

Like, just let me perform and go home. They think I'm Beyonce. I'm not Beyonce. I'm not Beyonce. Yeah, I'm Jay-Z. I'm Jay-Z and a Beyonce way. Like, we have to be real. Yeah, I'm just a goofy bitch telling jokes.

All I need is one spotlight and the microphone on. And that is it. Yeah, I've like, in this business, for the couple of months I've been doing, I have learned there are some girls that really think, like, it's given Beyonce. Yes. It's 2 p.m. You're doing a Shania's Wayne number in a cowboy hat. It's not giving Beyonce.

You're doing Shania Twain and a cowboy hat next 2 p.m. It's not... It's 2 p.m. And they got the sad show. Happy birthday. Just say, happy birthday. I pick up a dollar. It's not giving Beyonce.

Yeah. It's... You don't have to make it harder than it is. Yes. I'm like, just have fun. You're like, we are clowns. Yes. Some girls hate to hear that.

But, no. Drag queens. We're... We're clowns. We're just clowns. And sometimes, like, I've watched several videos of comics being like, we're philosophers. I have to like... talk about society and I'm like

I don't know I tell a dick joke and maybe it tells you the overarching struggle of what's happening between the poor and the rich but I don't know at the heart of it I'm talking about sucking a dick like what what are we doing? They'll be like this is my art this is what I

do this is who I was meant to be I was like you're doing a Renaissance drag man like it's not like it's not you're not changed like it's not giving that it's not giving you're just helping people get through another shitty day by having something nice to listen

to and look at. Yeah, you're here to like up with people's day. Like, this is not about you. No. It's like that part. I think that is actually the part that people miss and it's like, I do, I do. And it's like, yeah, but the people are consuming it. So it's for the people. It's not like for you. I have grown up like in the drag scene. I've seen so many people. They'll go like, but I've verbatim these words, I'm like, yeah, the crowd's not really going to like this

but I don't care. I'm like, so who's a for, though? Yeah, I guess it's for you. But then it's like if people aren't enjoying it, then you're going to get mad later. Yeah, like if I have a joke that doesn't work, I try to figure out why it doesn't work. And then I work on it so the people like it.

They don't care. Just because I thought it was funny, doesn't mean that they're all going to think it's funny. And it's my job to figure out how to make them like it, not just tell a joke and be like, I don't care if you people like it. I like it. And that's what matters.

That's why I got on a plane at 6 a.m. For you people to sit in silence while I tell jokes I like. I did almost miss this fight for this. No, the thing my friends would say well would be like, the tip bucket don't lie. So you see that tip bucket

ain't no money in it. You need to change the mix. Yeah, to change it just a little bit. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I do have a question for you. I am so, not me asking questions. I have one really good question. What is, like,

craziest sex story that you have. I'll have many crazy ones. My friend has one that would really gag you. Wait, tell me your friends. Okay, okay. Okay. So my friend, she's another drag queen. There's also a very good question that I should have asked you. My drag, she's gonna, oh my gosh, she's gonna hate me. I'd not tell her story. Her name is sticky, sticky honey.

She's like, nope, here's her name. That's the government. So, so she was like, I guess a man came to her house. This is like, years ago, he came to our house and he didn't want to have sex over me. He just wanted to be tied up in her bed while she works from home. She used to work from home while she was in the kitchen working from home. So she was in her bed tied up and she's in the kitchen and you just hear him, help me, please let me out.

And he was, he wanted that for like hours and then she would come and just like like slap him, drink him off a little bit and then walk away, like tease him and then walk back away. and then he like screams again. And then she sent us like a video of just like, like, just like the guy, the video of just like her like working. And you hear in the background, please come back. Let me back. Please come back. Please. And I was like, I was like, do you find this enjoying it?

She was like, I'm just like, it's just an experience. That's wild. Yes. I was like, that's what I was like at this point, life is not real. Life is not real. No, I have nothing like that. Really? I fucked a man once where he fucked my wig off.

Really? And he was like, and I was like, shut up. And I like put it back on. And then I fucked this one guy who I think lived in a model apartment. I know I've told this story on this podcast, but it was like in an apartment. It seemed like it was what they showed people to be like, oh, this is the apartments we have in this building. Because nothing was like real in it. It gave up abandoned or was it giving like?

I was not abandoned. It was just like, don't sit there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't, don't sit there because it's like, I don't know if that chair is real. Yeah, that the fake couch did like, they take back. Yeah, yeah. And then we fucked on the floor because he wouldn't let me on the bench. Yes. And then when I was leaving, he was like, okay, bye.

And then before he closed the door, he goes, just because I work out, does it mean I don't not like your body? And then close the door and I was like, well, I, that thought never cropped. You said, bitch, should I have a mattress? You don't have a mattress? You don't have a mattress. You don't have chairs? And you also fucked me. There was no question in my mind as to what you were into.

What? And then I thought about it for, like, I got in my car and I was like, not what? You liked my, what? I like got home. I was like, in the mirror. I was like, what are you, my body? What?

And I thought about it for days. And I still think about it every now and again. I'm like, where is he now? That is. Is he telling you another fat woman she's okay? Like, that is crazy. It was wild. Yeah, there's like, I feel like there's so many drag queens

that like get a kick out of like being in drag. can commend wanting them. And I'm like, that has a pre-drager that was never. Never? You've never fucked anyone in drag. No. That, the thought. Thought of it.

So, um, there would be, like, the chasers. The chasers that want, like, the girls, the dolls. They'll sit at the bar and they would wait. And they would just, like, this one man who's over, like, like, can I buy you a drink?
