Varla Jean Merman on Fire Island: Drag Drama, Chaos & Queer Nightlife

WEBVTT
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:13.439
What happens when you let Enfant Terrible, now just terrible, Daniel Nardicho, off his leash to say and do whatever he wants?
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.320
The man who has offended everyone is back.
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:25.519
Along with my brother from another mother, Adam Klesh, we're back with our latest creation, Trigger Warning, a podcast that is not for the faint of heart.
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.960
Prepare to be offended, enlightened, and highly entertained.
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:34.320
Trigger Warning is not a safe space podcast, but answers the questions no one wants to ask.
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.159
Serves deep in vodka and a dash of bitter.
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.320
Each week we'll bring you the highest and lowest in NYC nightlife.
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:43.359
So buckle up.
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:44.719
You've been warned.
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:50.479
All right, you guys.
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.600
My name is Daniel Nardiccio, and I'm Adam Clash.
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.039
And you're listening to Trigger Warning.
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.679
We're putting the Y in DIY today.
00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:59.439
You like that?
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:00.399
That's all right.
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.599
Uh, because these guys, these numbnuts here, are uh have literally set up this whole studio.
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:11.120
I love the man in the face fuck mask by Adidas calls me a num nut.
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:12.560
It's my it's my sneaker mask.
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:13.760
So I bought this sneaker mask.
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.920
You can be telephony nuts numb when you're wearing that mask.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.920
And you're numbnuts, exactly.
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.239
Um they are when I'm finished with them.
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.000
No, I think this always makes me think of our secure our ex-security guard.
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:25.200
We eventually got rid of him, Dave.
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.079
Do you remember me, Dave?
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:26.560
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.400
I fired him last week.
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:29.519
No, no, no, no.
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:30.799
Uh, this was years ago, Dave.
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:31.599
He showed up.
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:32.879
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.079
And I re-fired him.
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.840
And he you would walk by him, he'd go, Can I suck you dry?
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:38.159
Oh.
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.200
As you'd walk by him, he'd say that to you all the time, and it always made me laugh.
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.599
So I got the sneaker mask in honor of Dave, um, who's now unemployed, I guess.
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:47.040
So I guess I'll let him.
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:47.760
No, I'm kidding.
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.519
Uh, yeah, anyway, but I I love this.
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:50.239
Do you like this?
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:56.079
There's something very like upside down stranger things goes to the gym.
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.799
It reminds me of um years ago, I started this um social media site called D-List.
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:02.640
D-List.com.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.319
You actually did that on beat.
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:05.280
It's perfect.
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:06.719
D-List.com.
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:13.680
And I'll never forget one of the guys uh was joined it, wrote me an email, and he goes, I'm in Amsterdam, and you'll remind me of me.
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.240
I am also an old party goat.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:25.120
I will give away a free trip to Fire Island if any listener andor watcher can guess which four accents you went in and out of there.
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.960
An old party goat.
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:33.280
No, I know that was a little bit, yeah, that was I that was a mixture of a lot of party goat.
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.560
Um, no, it's very bizarre, but I can't wear this that long, but I do love wearing it.
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:39.360
I'm I love walking in.
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:46.479
You can't even tell your laptop's about to go to sleep where the ice palace, and I love walking in there with this on, and the staff is like mortified.
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:47.439
I'm mortified.
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.479
Oh my god.
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.120
And then the answer's always I was literally going for any button that'll work this.
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.520
I'm probably gonna take this off now, but I boo.
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.319
There we go.
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:03.360
Oh, there you are.
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.520
Oh god, I didn't know who was sucking my dick.
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:06.560
Oh god, man.
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.919
That was you you never know who's sucking my dick.
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:11.759
I've seen some of the dreams.
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.960
Now though, I mean I I have to do some repairs up in the ice palace.
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.800
Our dark room is not so dark.
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:17.280
I know.
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:18.400
We have a dark room?
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:18.960
No.
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.479
We have a meet and greet section.
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:21.199
Don't talk about it.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:22.240
We have a meet and greet section.
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.520
With a meet and greet section, exactly.
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.960
Where we do the where our guests are.
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:31.439
Well there's nobody like a lady of the evening, like with a busted busted laying out on the sofa.
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.879
I'm really um, this has been a really interesting month.
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:36.800
You're not much of a TV watcher.
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.879
Uh I watch good TV.
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:39.840
The comeback?
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.039
Oh, amazing.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.719
But did you watch the last season?
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.840
Uh the one that's because they're like a decade apart.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.360
So the most recent season.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:48.080
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:49.599
I'm episode two.
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:51.360
Not a fan.
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:52.319
Not a fan?
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:53.520
I'm not a fan of this season.
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.560
I think that I think it it it doesn't it doesn't work for me.
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:57.919
You know what I am a fan of?
00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:59.520
Talk about latest seasons?
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:00.800
Fucking hacks.
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:14.639
No, because I had planned it, because the comeback and hacks, I said those are the two new shows that come back after the Lori fucking Metcalf.
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:16.240
My God.
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:17.279
As Weed.
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:22.160
Lori, Lori, if you're a watcher or the listener, uh, I'll suck her dry.
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.040
I'll suck her dry.
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.199
Well, now we're never gonna get her.
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.560
No, she's never never gonna get her.
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.560
She's trying to give her a nice invitation to come on the book.
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:29.839
I would love Lori Metcalf.
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:30.720
Oh, wouldn't that be great?
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.199
When she when weed comes back, weed's her character on the show.
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:39.279
When weed comes back, and when they go to like Madison, not Madison Square Garden.
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:39.519
Yeah.
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:41.519
No, no, they went to the Central Park.
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:42.399
Central Park, yes, yeah.
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.399
And and Weed walks into the thing.
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.439
As she's walking over, the face that she makes is like like she makes this crazy fucking thing.
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.879
She's so in character, she really is one of the greatest actors.
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.759
You know, Deborah, after you let me go.
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.319
It was a dark couple of years.
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.240
I actually want to watch it again, just as he reads.
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.600
So she takes the whole thing.
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.120
She really just still, yes, yeah.
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.519
She still that I mean that last episode of Hacks, as far as I'm concerned, is one of the best last episodes of television in years.
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.360
Comeback, I'm sorry, I love Lisa Coudreau.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:25.040
But that whole Dan Bukatinski set sideline thing, which he's in everything cool, he's also in Hacks, but like he I didn't understand the whole thing about him like wanting to be famous all of a sudden.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.920
So I just thought Are you watching the new Dan Levy thing?
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.040
Um I watched it.
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:29.839
What's it called?
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.240
Um because Lori Metcalf's in it as well.
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.399
His uh, yeah, she plays, yeah, totally.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.199
Um he is uh abducted by the mob and they have to like.
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:38.800
Yeah, he's a he's a priest.
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:39.759
I can't remember the name of it.
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:40.879
Oh, god, you know me.
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.720
Anywho, she plays this self-absorbed mom who's a politician.
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.480
Yeah, and she's genius in that.
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:47.120
She's great.
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:47.920
Lori Laurie Metcalf.
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.759
If you're not a Laurie Metcalf fan, um you're you're shit.
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:56.959
But I will say this, and this is very perscapaus of me.
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.079
Is that your word this week?
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:00.800
Might as well be.
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.800
Perscapacious is like seeing forward.
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:09.759
Years ago, I remember seeing her in something and being like, that woman is going to be one of the known as one of the greatest actors.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:10.720
Was it Roseanne?
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.920
No, I mean she was good in Roseanne, but I saw her something after Roseanne.
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.759
Kind of like when you saw Gene Smart and you saw her career, you started to go, wait a minute.
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.519
Girl, I was not alive when I saw Jean Smart building her career.
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.720
That's a you thing.
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:27.199
Well, yeah, but you there were designing women's always in reruns.
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:28.480
You're gonna see it at some point.
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:29.199
It's not a good show.
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.360
I don't think I was like 11.
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.519
Yeah, you when I was 11-year-old, I'd be watching, I was watching Bewitched.
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.680
Yeah, in black and white television.
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:40.399
Yeah, that it is true, actually.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.040
Yeah, I know.
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:46.079
Um, but anyway, it was very perscapa of me because I would say you know what that means to seeing forward, yeah.
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.639
Um, but anyway, you uh were here on Fire Island.
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.800
Uh the uh the the week the scene of the crime.
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.439
Last week was Taylor, our business partner's wedding.
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.399
And everyone was titty litty.
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.959
It was like lit to the fucking pits.
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.920
It was one of the messiest wedding receptions I've ever seen.
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:16.000
Not in the sense of like it was put together, there was all this other stuff, but like everyone decided that, like, oh, it's Taylor's wedding.
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.360
Let's get shit canned.
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:18.240
It was crazy.
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:19.839
And and it was chaos.
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:38.560
People were on like sleeping pills and weed and wine, and I mean, it was I said to Taylor at like I think it might have been like 1215 in the afternoon, and guests were arriving at like 1.30 or two, and I was like, hey girl, looked at the weather report.
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.360
Um, it's gonna exceed 35 miles per hour wind.
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:45.360
We might want to move this inside.
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.079
He goes, No, no, it's happening outside, it's gonna be great.
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:48.639
Whatever.
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.199
Girl, it was like in the middle of a hurricane.
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.439
People were wearing bed sheets and quilts.
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:59.360
These poor girls were in dresses, and I was wearing a suit, and my knuckles were so cold I had to go inside at some point.
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.399
It was crazy that he uh that's Taylor though, for you.
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:03.199
He loves chaos.
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:03.839
It was chaos.
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.240
Oh, it was the most Taylor Schubert wedding in the world.
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:07.759
It was chaos.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.920
But it was great once we got inside.
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:10.399
It was.
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.000
What was my favorite moment?
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.560
Sam Sam's reprisal of hold on.
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:18.879
Actually, you know what?
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.600
Uh, Josh, can we cut to a video right now?
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:22.639
We have a video of it.
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:29.759
He's gonna play it for us and uh while we're chatting here because Alright, so we're about to watch Sam at Taylor's uh wedding.
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.639
Sam Gibbs gives Elaine.
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.279
What's her last name from Seinfeld?
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.679
Uh Elaine Bennis.
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.360
That's Sam's dance moves when he does when he gets drunk.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:47.919
He does that little foot thing where she's trying to walk and she can't walk out of the yeah, yeah.
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.360
This is his reprisal of his own wedding at Taylor Schubert in Blue.
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.080
And he does a lot of pointing people, like you better hold on.
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:09.039
If you've ever seen like a good 80s rock band not sweeping the whole crowd, but he looks good and youthful before, right before there's this old troll that walks into the camera.
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.320
Is it me?
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.399
I don't know why that song now has become the official wedding song.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.080
Sam gave you Sam gave you turn about it.
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:27.440
He gave you he was giving you that like the forceful like finger pointing at people, like, you better hold on.
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:28.639
You better hold on.
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.559
He was a donut shy of Carney.
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:31.279
Yeah, totally.
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:32.240
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:33.440
I mean, it was right there.
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.080
So we and and then after that, it was like all Dean and Martino.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:37.519
There were so many different things that went on.
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.919
But then, well, Dean it was the week before, but then now we're heading into tonight.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.519
Our guest, who's coming up in just a little while, is going to be performing, which is great.
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.240
We get to capture him for a few minutes to talk about what triggers them.
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.120
I'm so excited.
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:50.960
We have so many shows coming up at the Ice Palace.
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.200
Uh in just two weeks, we have Ultranate and Anaya Day with Bill Coleman.
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.799
Bill Coleman and Shakwita.
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:57.679
And Shaquita.
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.600
Yeah, and Shaquita for Juneteenth.
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:00.080
Alaska.
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.399
What should be the real uh celebration of this country?
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.559
You know, when everyone was free.
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:07.039
Absolutely.
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.759
July 4th is horseshit, but we're gonna have a wrestling match on the front lawn of the White House.
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.679
Let's celebrate 250 years as a nation.
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.200
Let's have a bunch of fucking ogres beat the shit out of each other.
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.759
I paid so little attention to it.
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:33.600
Literally, there was this meme that I posted, and it was like, what a meth house looks like, and it was just the White House with the rubble of the ballroom and like a trampoline porch in front.
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.960
Girl, I know from I know from meth houses.
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:37.600
And you know why.
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.159
Because you found meth in your house.
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.039
I found meth in my house.
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:41.759
Yeah, I was away.
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:47.279
I went to New Orleans last week to uh sell my apartment, and I had a friend who's got a problem, drug problem, stay in my apartment.
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.679
I had to ask for the key back because I found a bag of meth.
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.440
I think we just think it's a problem.
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.440
I think he's doing all right with it.
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:54.399
Sure.
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:55.679
He still has some teeth.
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:58.399
He's doing all they're all fighting to be first.
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.399
He has some teeth.
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:04.000
No, he's a good-looking kid still, but I'm telling you, man, he's not, it's not gonna last.
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:04.799
It's not gonna end well.
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.960
And I had to like be like, get out, you gotta go.
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.159
I can't have this shit in my life anymore.
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.960
Like, it's and I love when you told me you're like, listen, it's okay.
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.519
I'm gonna let stay in my house.
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.799
Um, and I told him, like, you can't have anyone over, you can't do drugs in the house.
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.399
And I looked you dead in the eye and I was like, sure, girl.
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:23.919
Girl, it was a mess up in there.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.360
It was a mess up in there when I got there.
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:31.120
I came back from New Orleans and I was like, and then Taylor's wedding, which trade to Taylor's wedding, and then I went home and I was like, finally, and get in my apartment.
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:31.840
And then I walked in.
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:33.840
I was like, oh my God, never again.
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.320
I'm learning to say no in my 50s.
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:40.720
The tail, tail, all right, you said it's a tail end of my 50s.
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.919
You said it.
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.679
Um but speaking of traveling, uh, what's happening next week?
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:46.960
We both go to Zipolite.
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:47.919
Zipolite.
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:48.879
Very excited about that.
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.480
We're going back down to Zipolite for just a couple days, uh, which is so thrilling.
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.000
Yeah, yeah, like 60 hours.
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.320
And we're going to go to Cheese May and Wag our dicks around.
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.240
We're going to go to our Cheers of Mexico.
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:06.000
But they now have a cold plunge like at where they put like 20 bags of ice and in water in a pool because it's a bigger one.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:07.279
So they'll both look like this.
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.039
They're going to shrink to that.
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.200
I thought this was nine inches.
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:13.679
No, I'm excited about it.
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:14.080
I'm excited.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.720
But Cheese May's not closed Tuesday, Wednesday, so I don't know what's going to happen.
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.080
We're going to have to figure out when we can go.
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:19.519
Oh, we'll just climb the fence.
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:20.639
Yeah, we'll just climb the fence.
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:21.200
Exactly.
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:22.799
We don't really care if anyone else is there anyway.
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.480
Give me that leftover bag of meth.
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:25.600
I'm getting in.
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.080
Who wants to have a naked party?
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:28.960
Oh my God.
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.039
Well, uh, we're going to be back in just a few moments.
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:36.639
We have uh coming up in just about uh 10-15 minutes, we have the uh incredible of our legine murder.
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:37.519
Yeah, she's doing her show tonight.
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.399
She's doing her show tonight.
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:43.360
It's called the uh The Drowsy Chapel Road Rome.
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:44.639
The drowsy room nailed it.
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:45.039
Yeah, totally.
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:45.679
That was so great.
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:46.320
Nailed it.
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.240
All right, we'll be right back in just a moment.
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:49.039
Can you imagine?
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:52.080
Um, no, but anyway, that's basically my life in a nutshell.
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:53.360
We just get ready for five.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.519
Finally, last night, I felt like the underwear party clicked.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.240
Yes.
00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:58.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:03.200
Which is gonna be part of my uh 25 long years.
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.679
No, the underwear party finally clicked.
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:07.360
It's been so cold.
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.039
Yeah, it's been you know what I noticed?
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:21.519
I was looking at it's funny because I do this weird stuff that uh the rest of our business partners don't do, is I look at like the numbers, and then I look at like the weather, and then I look at like the temperature and the precipitation.
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.120
And you want to know something funny?
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:29.120
We fucking smashed it uh at the Ice Palace last May, and it was pissing rain.
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:30.240
But you know what?
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.200
It was always over like 60 degrees.
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.000
It was always like warm-ish and raining.
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:36.960
It's been cold.
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.600
Those fucking faggots, I love them, but shitty shit faggots, as Sophia would say.
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:43.200
They won't come out in the cold.
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:44.639
They won't come out in the cold.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.360
I don't blame them, though.
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:46.080
It's like it's cold.
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:47.200
Why would you want to get in your underwear?
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:50.159
Why would you think about getting your underwear when it's like 55 degrees outside?
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:51.039
You wouldn't think I wouldn't think.
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:54.080
Because I want more stories at 80 than regrets.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.080
I'm always thinking about getting into my underwear and smashing myself into a room of men.
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.919
But I always think like, well, yeah, but they also think, well, no one's gonna go, so why would I go?
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:08.080
But I I just sort of think like Do you think anyone on Fire Island actually thinks no one's gonna go to the underwear party?
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.679
They think no one's gonna go to the underwear party ripoff at pavilion.
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:13.360
Oh, that's right, they're doing a rip-off again.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:17.679
Somebody asked me if they're like so so what do you think bare minimum suggests?
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:19.759
And I was like, what's to be expected?
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.720
Or attendance.
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.440
Yeah, exactly.
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.480
The bare minimum.
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:23.840
The attendance.
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:29.279
It was like this guy with his pants pulled down, showing like a thonggy underwear called bare minimum.
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:29.840
It's a hard one.
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.559
I'm like, what's this about?
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.080
And I was like terrible name to be expected.
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:36.559
They're just so uncreative, which is gonna be my trigger, so I don't want to give it away too much right now because that's basically.
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:37.840
Or did we just do our triggers right now?
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.679
So much to talk about on triggers.
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:40.320
No, it's fine.
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:52.720
You're actually getting like an original season one episode of you and I just like shooting the shit in and shooting the shit, which we were told by we've got one listener, one watcher, and we have a reviewer.
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:54.320
Well, I have a couple watchers.
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:55.840
You have a couple watchers?
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.879
Is that why there's shitty gingham over the windows?
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.559
This little apartment is a dot total dump.
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.440
We have turned this storage unit out.
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:06.320
Yeah, no, totally.
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.240
This is a little up to B.
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:08.559
Arthur.
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:13.440
It's a little secret apartment in the back of the Ice Palace that nobody really nobody knows about.
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.799
I've been here 20, 20 years before I knew about this apartment.
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:23.919
I need more fingers and toes to count on how many people actually know about it because I've come a knock-in and you're like, just a minute.
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:29.279
They find out about it, but usually I blindfold them or I put them in the sneak, might put him in my sneaker mask and I walk them here.
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:30.159
I say Don't put it on.
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:31.440
It's a real surprise.
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.320
It's a real surprise.
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:34.320
A hard stomach and a noodle dick.
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.960
I've mixed up my shots again, but please enter.
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.840
You cover everything, all the just handkerchiefs onkerchiefs on everything.
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:44.399
Yeah, exactly.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:45.360
Come on, I mixed up.
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.120
There's like a vitrola to the sneaker.
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:49.200
You're winding a vitrola up.
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:51.919
Can I suck you dry?
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.399
I know it's so gross.
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:54.960
It's so gross.
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.879
That's like I still have his babies in me.
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.559
Oh, that is the worst thing that anyone can say.
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.840
I can't stand that.
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.519
Yeah, it's disgusting.
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.639
I don't I like men for a reason.
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.279
And by the way, last night there were some real men's.
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:10.080
Girl.
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.559
There were some real men's last night at the end of our party.
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:13.279
I was really impressed.
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:20.159
If you thought it was too cold last night or you're worried about the rain, like just stay inside, become a nun, stay single forever.
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:24.000
The tushies that were Thompson pro dumpers.
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:25.679
Real pro dumpers.
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.039
These kids, I don't understand.
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.960
Are they like j uh squats?
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:30.000
Are they squats?
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:30.480
Squats.
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:30.879
Really?
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:31.600
Squats.
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:33.039
Remember when you go to Mexico?
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.399
Like, you don't do it now, but like in Mexico, oh, sorry.
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.039
You take all your morning meetings, like in a deep squat.
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:39.759
Yeah, they have to.
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:40.799
These kids are squatting.
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:41.360
They're squatting.
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.879
And the booties on the boys were banging.
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:46.159
I'm gonna get back to that though.
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:48.639
That's sort of like what I'm gonna be doing now for the next couple months.
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.000
I've decided I'm gonna get back into it.
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:53.600
Because it was a I watched this YouTube video in Isabelite when I was there.
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.320
This guy who was talking about like your hips and stuff like that.
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:03.759
And so he basically you just get into a deep squat and you kind of like I because of balance, I have to like, you know, do it by a table so I can hold on to it.
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:09.200
And you just because you but you want to fall back because your heels, you know, don't want to break a hip.
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:10.640
Yeah, no, you try it.
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:11.440
Try it.
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:12.079
It's not easy.
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:13.200
I don't think I could do it right now.
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:14.319
Should I try it right now?
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:14.960
Yeah, totally.
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:15.839
I don't think I have enough room.
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.480
No, I don't think you do.
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:17.200
No, I don't have enough room.
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:17.519
We'll do it.
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:18.559
We'll do it during the break.
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:19.680
Um I'm doing it in my mind.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.319
You do it and you basically you have to because or you put something under your heels.
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:24.720
Okay.
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.200
Yeah, but I just put like a couple books.
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:30.400
You know, books are these things.
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:31.759
Wait, let me think for a second.
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:39.279
Books are these things that people like they read reading is um Quasimoto, you are ugly.
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:44.720
What was it?
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:46.079
It oh my god.
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.680
Our guest today.
00:17:48.000 --> 00:18:05.359
I listened, our guest today was on a podcast recently and told the most fucking crazy story where they were doing a tour with Sherry Vine, Jackie Beat, and um Coco Peru, the two of whom have been on our podcast.
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:07.440
One I will never have on this podcast.
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.400
Quasimoto.
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.799
No, that's Jackie Beat is Quasimoto.
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.000
Yeah, that's no, no, no, no.
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.160
Jackie Beat is Quasimoto.
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:15.279
No, Jackie Beat.
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:16.720
No, it's Quasimoto.
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:18.400
And Sherry Vine.
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:19.039
I know, right?
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.319
Patty LePoun's here.
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.599
Sherry is uh, we love Sherry.
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:28.720
She's doing a show like the 16th and on on the um at Red Eye, actually, Sherry, uh called Dirty Blonde.
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.759
Love Sherry Vine.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:31.599
Coco Peru loved her.
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:32.880
Love great podcast.
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:46.720
Anyway, our guest, our esteemed guest who's gonna be on in just a couple moments, she one of her numbers was uh as Quasimodo, and she sent to the song I think ring my bell.
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:59.119
And the lighting guy in this town at this theater they were doing it refused to do it because he said it was making fun of people who were um Down syndrome people, and he that he actually quit the show because he refused to do it.
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:01.599
Thought it was making it was ableist, as they say.
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:08.480
But Quasimoto is a Disney character, and that is how far we've gone in this world of crazy.
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:16.480
Quasimoto is from a French novel way before Disney.
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.759
Way before Disney.
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:31.519
You know, that deserves a because you just knew that that deserves a Esmeralda and Quasimoto, and it's a it's a talk about sanctuary and the uh the the troubles between the church and the French monarchy and whatnot.
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.920
This is long ago long ago.
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.000
I always forget you're smart.
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:37.920
Most of the time.
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:38.960
I really do.
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:40.079
I always forget you're smart.
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:40.400
Yeah.
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:51.359
And I I mean, I'm not gonna say I'm correct on this, but there's it's actually from the Latin where it's like quasi-modo, so it's like partially abled, like motor.
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.039
Um, quasi-modo, yeah.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.039
It's like partially motoring, yeah.
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:56.480
Mobile, yeah, basically.
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.079
Well, that we figured out.
00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:59.440
We got to the bottom of that.
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:05.920
And as Merelda is a Romanian who they call a gypsy, which Traeger, you're not allowed to anymore.
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:06.720
You can't say gypsy.
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:07.920
But Disney may be a good one.
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:08.880
You can't say gypsy anymore.
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:10.319
This mother No, you can't say gypsy.
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.160
Yeah, but Lady Gaga's song gypsy.
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.680
You can say Tinkerer.
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.640
Tinkerer?
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:16.000
Yeah, there's Tinkers.
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:23.519
Did I ever tell you about that little person that worked in the Pines, Joey Novato, that little gross little guy?
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:24.559
Did you ever tell you about that?
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.200
You may have mentioned him once or twice.
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.160
So years ago, there was this odious little creature.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.160
This was sorry, that's my camera.
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.039
Hi guys.
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:35.440
There was can I suck you dry?
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:40.960
No, there was this odious little creature who worked in the pines named Joey N.
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:42.960
Let's just call him that as if we're an AA.
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:44.000
Joey N.
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:48.240
Um, just an awful person.
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:49.119
And he was awful.
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:50.400
He was a nasty little creature.
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:51.920
But anyway, yet I digress.
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.599
And what and all of a sudden I put something on Facebook and he kind of came for me.
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:58.480
And I wrote, Shouldn't you be up in a tree making cookies?
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.079
Keybler elf's the real fudge cracker.
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.880
And then he was like, But I, you know, you can't talk to me.
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:06.720
I'm like, at the entertainment director of the Pines.
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:07.440
I said, What do you do?
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:10.400
You go down to the harbor and tell uh PJ when the plane's coming in.
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:12.960
It was awful.
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:14.640
It was not my finest moment.
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.599
I'm gonna admit it was not my finest moment, but the show is called Trigger Warning.
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:20.240
So if this bothers you, please call it a professional.
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:20.799
You know what?
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:21.759
We're in our help.
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:23.119
We're in like, I don't know where we are.
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:25.440
We're lost in somewhere like season three and a half.
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:26.160
And you know what?
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.400
I'm I'm starting to be okay with this show triggering people.
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:31.200
Yeah, totally.
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:32.880
And then so far it's not really bothered anyone.
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:34.160
Because you know what I know?
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:35.200
Because there's one listener.
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:41.759
I know we're good, I know we're good people, I know we're doing good things for our community, I know our producer's a good person.
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.920
And so when we get pissed off about something, you're probably shitty.
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:49.440
But also, I'm telling these stories now.
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:55.200
I'm I'm at this point in my life where I'm telling these stories and I'm sometimes explaining they were not my proudest moments.
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:55.599
Okay.
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.160
Making fun of a little person is not a good thing.
00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:59.759
But the moral of the story is.
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:09.920
That little Kebler elf wrote, um wrote, I just then I started making all these jokes, like I'm sorry, I shouldn't be punching down, and then I would just I just went off on this funny little riff.
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:21.039
It was very funny, it was very inappropriate, and then he reported me to some organization for little people because in some ways, I guess he thought I was like, you know, be a rope, they wrote me and said, you know, you know as a The Porg police.
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.440
Did he did he report you to the porg police?
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:25.359
Yes, that was the part of the story about people.
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:32.640
And that's when they told me that it was no longer called Little People, but it is now called people of restricted growth.
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:39.680
And I'm willing to accept that, although I really do want to make a little person Porgy and Best called Porg and Bess.
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.559
Just like little people Porg and Bess.
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:43.839
Porg and belittled.
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:51.279
He uh he ended up the last I heard of that little annoying character, he was in LA with Aaron Schock.
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:53.359
You should call it Porg and Less.
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:57.039
Leave the jokes to me.
00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.200
What about Porg and Beans?
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:05.599
Like that would be like a cute little duo drop uh like cop show, Porg and Beans.
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:09.920
Like his name, he's Porg, and he's a little guy, and she's beans, and she has gas.
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.480
And they like are together, they fight crime.
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:12.880
I don't know.
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:14.000
I'm just thinking it through here.
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.279
Um, which is no, I'm just looking at the rails we've gone off of.
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.279
The rails you've been doing of the fucking yeah, anyway.
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:26.240
All right, you guys, you've been we've you've eviscerated 45 minutes of your life listening to this bullshit.
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.559
We you know what it's been three and a half seasons where Josh hasn't cut a single thing out.
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:32.720
No, even though we're gonna put him through the railroad.
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:36.480
Josh will actually fix half of this in post.
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:37.759
So let's go get our guests.
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:39.359
I'm so excited about her.
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:41.119
I uh I've so excited about her.
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:42.319
I actually wrote an intro.
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:42.960
Did you?
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:43.759
I wrote an intro.
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:44.799
Well, chat GPT.
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:45.279
No, I didn't.
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:46.000
I wrote an intro.
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:50.079
We'll be back in just a few moments with Vene Merman.
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:55.839
Yeah, they can't wait for it.
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:57.119
Don't touch my boy.
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:07.440
Our guest today survives show business, bad wigs, questionable cocktails, several economic recessions, hurricane Katrina, and countless standing ovations.
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:12.880
She's one of the funniest performers on the planet and proof that glamour is mostly confidence and good lighting.
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:16.960
Please welcome truly the one and only Barla Jean Merman.
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.279
Oh my god, you guys, thank you for having me.
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:21.279
I have no idea where we are.
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:23.039
You're in the storage unit.
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:28.160
We're in like my little apartment.
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.319
It's like the secret apartment in the ice pals.
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.759
I literally live in a nightclub.
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:33.119
And it's blood red.
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:35.519
I wonder why you painted it that color.
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:36.319
Jungle red.
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:38.880
I called it fill in the blank.
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:40.000
Yeah, exactly.
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.720
Exactly.
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:43.039
Yeah, no, my colleague Dina Martinez.
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:44.400
She's a colleague.
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:46.160
How long have you known Dina?
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:48.640
I've known Dina since she first started coming to Provincetown.
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.319
I'd never heard heard of her before, and she came, you know, she was a West Coast lady.
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.160
And uh, she came, I think, in like 2002 or 2003.
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.440
And but now I put on my makeup and Dina does her show.
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:02.400
I know every single word of Dina Martina's show.
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:07.599
In fact, some night she'll forget a line and I'll tell her, you forgot the line about when she comes off stage.
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:08.319
I do it all the time.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:13.440
Now you have that funny video that you made of you guys backstage, which is so fucking funny.
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:15.519
I I'm gonna maybe get a copy of it.
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:16.640
We'll put we can put it on our original.
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:17.759
I'll give you a copy.
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.880
Yeah, it's so funny.
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:19.839
It made me laugh so hard.
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:20.480
I only saw part of it.
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:25.119
I've known Dina so well that I, you know, and you know, Dina is a little picky.
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.559
And so I thought, you know, but I knew her so well that she just looked at it and said, yes.
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:34.559
And then she just it's so amazing, and I love it because it looks like everything Dina would do, even though I wrote it.
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:36.880
But uh it is, it's Dina Martina.
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:38.960
I know Dina Martina, so it it's so funny.
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:40.559
Now, so you met in Province now.
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:45.920
Did you meet on that famous baby dike weekend where she talks about the menace of dykes?
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:50.160
Oh, where I saw something that happened to Dina Martina, which was terrible.
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:51.359
She had on this spacesuit.
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.319
Did she tell you that story?
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.200
No, she had on a spacesuit, and she used to bark.
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:56.240
She doesn't bark anymore.
00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:58.160
I I haven't in decades.
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:07.440
But she um would bark for a show and she came out in this giant um like you know, like astronaut, but you know, like Yeah, like with the visor down.
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.079
Well, no, it was just a big giant bubble.
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:10.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:16.000
And some queen came out and smashed it on her head in front of everyone laughing.
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:20.160
And I looked at Dina and it was like, oh, it was just terrible.
00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:24.799
It was like in The Little Rascals when the mother, when when the screen comes up and takes off her dress.
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:25.599
Do you know what I'm talking about?
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:26.960
Little rascals.
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:36.480
Oh, wow, what irrelevant reference before Color TV.
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:41.759
I know, but she looks so sad, and we've often talked about that because it was very upsetting to her.
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.000
Because to see Dina sad is it's just not a good thing.
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:45.680
It's very upsetting.
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:46.240
Very upsetting.
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:47.759
Or when Dina gets angry.
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:48.799
I've been there.
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:50.640
Been there.
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.880
We've worked together for about 12 years, yes.
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:58.319
It's like that moment in um in misery when when you realize that uh what's her name?
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:01.039
Kathy Bates is like really fucked up.
00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:04.480
You know, but it's only it only is worse if you see her horny.
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:05.359
Oh, yeah.
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:08.079
But she's really when she's cranking one off and she makes you watch.
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:09.839
That's really intense for me.
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:11.119
Oh my god.
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:14.880
I'm gonna need something to sleep.
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:26.960
Now, uh one of my favorite barking, barking, by the way, for our uh viewers who uh aren't in the business, is when you have to go out and hand out flyers in Provincetown for the newbie queens, they make them do that.
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:34.640
One of my favorite barking stories was about you because you used to hide behind the bushes and people would go and you'd just go, come to my show.
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:39.519
Yeah, I would, you know, because people are like people are you know handing you flyers and nobody wants them.
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:42.000
So I would just stand in the bush four years.
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.039
Yeah, for years I would just hide in a bush.
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:49.519
And I would just, when people would go, I would just say, come to my shop.
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.960
And they'd look around, and then they'd finally see me in the bush screaming.
00:27:53.119 --> 00:28:00.160
It's like unfortunately became a big thing, and then people wanted to get in the bush with me, and they were trampling on landscape, and then they got rid of the bush.
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:01.599
That's what she told me at DVD.
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:13.279
For a while, though, I used to also do, I would be like I was doing a tea party, so I'd have a little tea party set up, like a little girl's tea party, but I would be face down, and my manager, Brian, would say, She's getting arrest before the show.
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:16.559
I would be face down with just the flyer.
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:17.839
Yeah.
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.960
That's really funny.
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:20.960
Now, now let's bring you to Fire Island.
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:23.119
We're talking about Fire Island because we are on Fire Island.
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:27.599
You I asked your uh your assistant Brian, you've done Fire Island before?
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:28.640
You've done the ice pounds?
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:29.920
Never ever performed here.
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:40.240
I filmed a video here for one time when I was doing plays in New York with Tweed Theater Company, uh, and we did a uh it was a version of Suddenly Last Summer, and so we filmed a video here on the beach.
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:43.279
I think only me too.
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:45.039
And I love Tweet, I love Kevin Mahoney.
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.759
Yeah, amazing.
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:47.039
So that was the first time I was here.
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:54.160
And in fact, Jeff Whitdy, who uh played who wrote um the book for Avenue Q, played Sebastian.
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:56.319
So it was just me in front of his bulge.
00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:59.759
Was Liz Taylor in the film version of Suddenly Last Summer?
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:00.640
Yes, yes, yes, it did.
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:01.680
And the gay on the rocks.
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:05.279
He used to go-go dance for me, uh, and I have a really Liz Taylor?
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.319
No, Jeff Whitty, and I have a very lurid story I can tell you about it.
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:09.359
Oh my god, I want to hear.
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:18.400
But do you know, uh, since you you uh uh have a lot of New Orleans history, the entire Suddenly Last Summer, there was a house behind the Bolton Funeral Home, which is now a Whole Foods, uh Fresh Market.
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.359
But the Bolton Funeral Home that was called Funeral Home.
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:23.039
Roberson's or Robert's.
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:34.079
I think it's called Yeah, it's Robert's there or fresh market, but there's a house behind there that has the greenhouse where the entire because Tennessee Williams used to stay there with the Bolton family.
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:38.799
Um, and he stayed with them, but then he wrote suddenly last summer, which was about their family.
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:41.119
So he was never welcome back.
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:43.119
Oh wow, very true McCapody.
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.960
Very true McCapody of him.
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:53.440
So uh tonight, from one other thing you Brian told me, uh your assistant, is tonight is the last time you're performing this show, is that correct?
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:54.400
The very last time.
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:55.359
And the show is called?
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:57.519
Uh it's called The Drowsy Chapel Rhone.
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.000
And the whole thing is about that.
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:05.519
I I kind of got obsessed with Chapel Roan after the uh the presidential election because I wanted light and fluffy.
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:10.400
And the weirdest thing, I always say a show chooses me because I never know what I'm gonna do.
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:14.160
And suddenly I'd start writing a show, and then it all makes sense why I wrote it.
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:26.559
Now, in November, right after the election, I was in Starbucks in Wilton Manors, uh Florida, and uh I was way is there another Wilton.
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:27.920
Wilton Matters.
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:29.279
I hope not.
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:35.759
But I was sitting there and I'm listening to Chapel in my head said, I'm thinking the drowsy chapel roan, that's a funny, funny title, but I, you know, I can't really do this song.
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:39.440
Uh you know, no one's gonna know that title, the reference, um, just like the little rascals.
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:41.920
Well, I'm obsessed with the drowsy chaperone on the show.
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:42.799
Yes, me too.
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:43.839
I have to answer that.
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:58.640
So I'm there and I'm waiting for my beverage, and there's a guy in a kilt at one o'clock in the afternoon in Wilton Manors, and I hear him say to the Barista, Oh, my niece is doing a Christmas special with Sabrina Carpenter on Friday.
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:01.039
And I knew that Chapel Roan was doing that.
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:06.319
And I'd heard that Chapel Roan had a gay uncle who lived in Wilton Manors, who's a flight attendant.
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:07.519
Uh, did I mention he was gay?
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:09.839
And um obviously in the leather.
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:13.519
And I say to him, Oh my god, I'm listening to your niece right now, I'm a big fan.
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:16.640
And he says to me, She's a big fan of yours.
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:18.319
And I was like, What?
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:25.440
And he recognized me, but it turns out that he, when Chapel was a little girl, uh, he would show her my old videos on YouTube.
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:26.559
It was her uncle.
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:27.839
So I'm a groomer.
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:29.279
That's the point of the story.
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:30.799
Wow, you heard it here.
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:32.319
First, exactly.
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.640
I'm looking for children right now.
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:36.480
Is he showing her girls will be girls?
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:37.440
I hope not.
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:38.079
No, no.
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:40.079
So he showed her like old videos of mine.
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:44.319
So she, you know, I mean, she's obviously ripped my entire act off, and that's really the point of the show.
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:45.440
It shows, it shows.
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:46.000
It shows.
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:48.079
Shame on you, Chapel Roan.
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:49.039
She's had better luck.
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:52.480
I have not seen you perform in years.
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:56.559
I actually remember I uh I was so excited I was in New Orleans.
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:03.599
I was just sold my apartment last week, but I used to, I was down there and I saw that you were doing a show at like Maggie's or Mag uh Mags.
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:05.759
Oh, yes, uh Mags.
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:07.680
Mags on the on a Legion.
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:08.480
I think it was on Eastern.
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:09.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.680
So I went over to Mags and I was so excited to see it.
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:15.200
It was a really fun, cool, you know, very New Orleans, like always lounged.
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:15.680
There are places there.
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:17.200
I just try out material there.
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:18.880
So it whatever it was, it got better.
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:20.079
It was your comedy seller.
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:20.640
It was really fun.
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.000
Mags was your comedy cellar.
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:22.559
Yeah, totally.
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.359
It was.
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:23.920
It was.
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:25.200
No, it was a really fun show.
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:28.720
And I and I unfortunately, because you do Provincetown, I don't really get to see you.
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:38.240
I don't you, you know, well, that's why I haven't been to Fire Island in 30 years, because I went in 19, I was here in 1993 or 94 to film that video, and I've never been back because I'm always in Provincetown.
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:39.680
Do you enjoy Provincetown?
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:40.319
I really do.
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:40.799
I love it.
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:46.160
I mean, I also love to leave, but I love it for those months.
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:47.759
I think the people there are amazing.
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:49.359
The tourists are unbelievable.
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.079
I make, you know, a decent salary.
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:54.240
And uh it's it's it's fun.
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:57.119
I mean, I love being there, but I do by September I'm ready to go.
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.160
I'm not one of those people who wants to go to Provincetown in the middle of winter and be like the shining.
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:01.039
It's not nice.
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:01.839
There's so many of them.
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:02.799
I know.
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.720
It's crazy.
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:05.680
And they all do math.
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.960
They become different people.
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:07.759
Yeah, no, totally.
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:09.200
It's very Blair Witch project.
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:13.039
It's like the American horror story where they're all taking like the black pill, the great writers.
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.920
You're either gonna, you know, you've got to be careful you don't become Jack Nicholson.
00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:19.839
What was it, the Clearview Hotel?
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:20.319
Was that it?
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:20.799
I think.
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:21.759
In The Shining.
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:22.240
Oh God.
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:26.559
Well, I have a funny story because years ago, many years ago now, I was living in New Orleans.
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:29.920
I had an apartment, I had a house on Franklin, and I'll never forget this.
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.000
Someone came up to the house and knocked on the door, and I came and they were like That was the one you lost in Katrina, right?
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:35.359
Yes, that's the one I lost in Katrina.
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:37.119
Yeah, that was a fucking great house.
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:38.000
So right.
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:41.200
And and they someone came up and had me, they wanted me to sign a petition.
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:45.200
And I looked at the petition and like three, you know, three places away.
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:47.279
Like around the corner was your name.
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:47.759
Yes, yes.
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:48.799
You lived around the corner of St.
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:49.920
I live on Rampart in St.
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:50.160
Rock.
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.519
Yeah, yeah, it was at Franklin right by almost at the yeah, almost at St.
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:53.680
Rock.
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:55.519
Or at uh such a great city.
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:56.559
Yeah, it was a great city.
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:57.519
It still is a great city.
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:01.920
Uh unfortunately, I'm now in Mexico, so I'm the I'm doing building stuff in Mexico, so I had to give up the place.
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:03.359
Yeah, no, it's great.
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:04.160
It's just getting hot.
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:05.920
I keep going hotter and hotter and hotter.
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:08.320
I mean, it's like Hell's next, hell.
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:10.239
Hannah refuses to put a shawl on.
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:12.079
She just goes into hotter climates.
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:15.199
But you're now in you're now not in New Orleans, you're in Will Manager.
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:19.840
I have a house, the same house in New Orleans, and I had these tenants who were so amazing.
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:25.199
And I didn't raise the rent because one was a school teacher and one was a a social worker for the city.
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:26.719
So seven years.
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:28.320
Well, here's the bad part.
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:33.280
They finally left and they trashed my house.
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:39.840
Thank God they I had cleaning supplies underneath the sink that I just gave them, and they literally everything I had under there was still there.
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:43.440
It still had like the heat-sealed wrapper on the table.
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:48.639
The entire house was covered with grease.
00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:56.400
And thank God they never cleaned the shower because they both were dyeing their hair black like every week, and there was so much soap scum, it didn't get into the marble.
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:57.039
Thank God.
00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:57.920
Oh my gosh.
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:00.079
Oh my god.
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:01.280
Using a credit card.
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:02.480
I hate being a landlord.
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:03.199
No, it's awful.
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:15.280
I had a friend who had a place in Orleans and the um and the people that rented the apartment, they just kept throwing the dirty diapers in one room, and eventually it just the floor just fell onto the apartment below because of the dirty diapers.
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:18.719
The weight of the dirty diet and the fucking, you know, children.
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:21.679
The portal of that story is children suck, don't have kids.
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:22.639
Don't have kids.
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.039
We've said it here many times, and we'll say it again.
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:25.599
Don't have kids.
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:26.400
I like dogs.
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:29.679
So you drove here from Provincetown and now you're going back tomorrow?
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:30.400
I'm going back.
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:32.000
I could go to Europe.
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:34.639
It's a 10-hour drive, isn't it?
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:35.360
It's crazy.
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:38.079
And it's so many different forms of transportation.
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:39.840
It's but you know, I'm going back.
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:41.840
I I'm so glad I came to the fairy from Boston.
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:42.639
It's so beautiful.
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:43.840
I, you know, it just so happens.
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:48.480
So I'm I have a really good friend in Wilton Manors who is the head of the firehouse here.
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:50.480
And so he he was gonna say, I have all these friends.
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:52.719
His name is uh the what is it?
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:53.039
Rich.
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:55.679
And so he said, I have all these friends are gonna come to your show.
00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:58.880
And then it turns out the one event they have is the same night of my show.
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:00.960
Oh, the fire, the fire department dinner is tonight.
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:01.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:03.760
So they're not coming.
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:05.920
Yeah, but that should wrap by showtime.
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:06.719
That's a shitty extreme.
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:07.840
I love it here.
00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:09.440
It's a great, it's a really great place.
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.000
I love it.
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:10.320
I love it.
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:12.239
And I have the same problem though with Provincetown.
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.440
I don't go that often because it's like a train playing an automobile.
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.039
And you know, I've John coming, John Waters, who's a big Provincetonian.
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:19.840
He's a colleague.
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:27.760
Yes, and I uh but to get him is a lot easier because but you know, uh he fly, you know, I actually I found this out when I went to buy his plane ticket.
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:34.079
You can fly from Provincetown to Ice Lip, which is like right here for$555.
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:35.039
What?
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:36.639
I know it's crazy.
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:41.039
The the flight, and John was like, no, because it they didn't have first class on one of the legs.
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:41.920
It's an air force.
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:49.679
The Provincetown, the what is it, uh, Provincetown Air Cape Air to Boston, and then you fly from that to Ice Lip, and it was 550.
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:53.920
And I was so excited because normally when I buy John's tickets, it's like you know, it's a lot.
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:58.079
And then he's got to go to JFK and get a car, and I was like, this is great, but they were like, no.
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:04.000
So um, so anyway, uh, but if just in the future, you should look into that because it's actually really a it's such a quick flight.
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:05.760
It's four hours, and he'll pay.
00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:08.000
And and I'm yeah, I mean, you'll pay.
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:08.559
I'll just pay.
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:09.280
I pay for everything.
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:10.719
I'm paying for you.
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:14.639
Um, anyway, I'm so excited about the show tonight.
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:16.880
Can I suck you dry?
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:20.320
Uh I'm so excited about the show tonight.
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:23.039
Um we um we I know you have to get ready.
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:25.039
We have to go soon, but I'm gonna put my face on.
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:27.199
Fucking.
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.880
It's like when you said this is my daytime love.
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:36.800
But I thought this was just your day beat, no?
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:41.920
I want to quickly tell us I told a story before you came in.
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:48.800
We Adam and I were talking the Quasimoto story, where the kid refused to do the lights or the tech person.
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:49.280
Yes.
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:54.960
Well, uh, you know, and didn't you produce that um Alan Cumming, Liza at Town Hall?
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:57.360
Okay, so I was doing it's funny, this is about you.
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:02.719
I was doing a um a show about uh all the Disney stuff, and I thought, I want to do Quasimoto.
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:06.320
So I'm with Ryan Landry's uh uh husband, Scott.
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:17.599
We go to see Liza and um and Alan Cumming, and she goes dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun and I feel Scott poking me, and I was like, oh my god, ring them bells would be amazing as Quasimoto.
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:27.920
Anyway, so and I told the story of Quasimoto, but when we did the show in San Francisco, you know, and it's always San Francisco.
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:31.840
I know, and you know, I hate to say, you know, sometimes woke is not good.
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:32.159
Right.
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:34.159
You know, welcome the trigger warning.
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:52.320
And so then the the kid who was running the show, I was with Jackie Beat, Sherry Vine, and Coco, and I'm the one that's offensive because I'm yeah, he refused to do the show because I was making fun of Down syndrome people with as Quasimodo.
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:57.199
Now look, it was unbelievable.
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:00.239
So, yeah, it's just it's a classic piece of literature.
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:03.199
And yes, you know, quite in the movies, Quasimodo.
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:08.320
You know, if you did not know, maybe you would think that I was making fun of um handicapped people.
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:09.039
I wasn't.
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:14.719
There's been classic literature as I said, it's a famous French novel.
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:16.000
It was a famous French novel.
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:17.199
Grandfather didn't excuse me.
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:21.679
So I had to cut the number because we couldn't find another sound person.
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:22.719
So I had to cut the number.
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:23.599
That is so crazy.
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:24.639
And it's a great number.
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:25.440
Yeah, yeah.
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:29.519
Well, if you're the sound and light person listening to this, you're too woke.
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:30.079
Fuck off.
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.639
Yeah, totally.
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:31.760
Wait a minute.
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.280
Why does a sound person say, I decide what's in the show?
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:36.239
Thank you.
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:36.639
Thank you.
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:37.760
It was unbelievable.
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:39.119
But we we were our hands were tight.
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:39.920
There was no one else to work.
00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:42.400
I said, you know what, I'll just cut the number because what are we gonna do?
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:42.880
Right, absolutely.
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:43.440
You know what I mean?
00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:44.480
We'll cut Jackie.
00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:45.039
Yeah.
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:47.840
Jackie's sort of a joke here.
00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:49.119
Jackie did just get cut.
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:49.360
Yes.
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:50.239
Is that a joke?
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:51.920
Oh, somebody had her, right?
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:53.280
Yeah, her calf was ripped off.
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:56.559
She went down an escalator and there was a she's gonna make money off this.
00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:57.599
Like she'd make it off her hip.
00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:58.400
She made it off her hip.
00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:58.800
I know, right?
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:00.000
Get ready for the gofund me.
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:01.280
She's gonna say, here's another go free.
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:02.719
Go go fund me from Jackie.
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:04.880
Here's another Jackie B gofund me.
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:09.119
I'm gonna start a GoFundMe to get money for the drag queens go fund me.
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:14.639
So give me money so that I can give money to Hedda, you know, all these queens like give me money.
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:15.760
It's insane.
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:16.960
Well, uh, we love you.
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:19.039
And you know, the sh the theme of the show is trigger warning.
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.159
And what we do is we all do a little trigger, what triggers us.
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:23.440
Um, and so I'll start.
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:24.559
We'll go, we'll go quickly.
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:24.880
Yeah, yeah.
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:31.280
What triggers me is when um the pines decides that they're going to mop my exact ideas.
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:31.679
Yeah.
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:38.079
And then they like to pretend that we're like, we're from LA and we're really rich and we're gonna do really unique, crazy, interesting things.
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:40.079
And then they go, an underwear party.
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:44.239
Like literally, I love to watch them fail every time they do this.
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.960
So I think you heard you call it the jockstrap party.
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:50.159
Yes, back when those awful guys were doing it, it was awful.
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:53.440
And now they're calling it bare minimum, which is what they mean about their audience.
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:54.960
Well, yeah, yeah, because the bare minimum isn't it?
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:56.960
When you go there, you should expect the bare minimum.
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:05.760
So, what happens is every time someone buys it, that rotted whole thing over there, and I do like the Pines Boys, they're coming, a lot of them coming to the Pines Boys are great.
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:08.000
The pavilion is the triangle of sadness.
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:08.639
Totally.
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:09.119
Exactly.
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:12.320
The best thing that could happen to the pavilion is another fire.
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:14.480
Oh my totally, exactly.
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:15.440
Absolutely.
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:20.639
And and so every time they get a new owner, the new owner and I end up having some sort of conversation.
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.199
They're always, I'm always like, look, let's work together.
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:24.480
Counter program.
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:26.719
So don't do Friday nights what I do.
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:29.519
And Saturday nights, go ham, do what you want.
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:33.599
They always end up focusing so hard on Fridays and trying to take down Fridays.
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:35.519
Their Saturdays often are lacking.
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:37.920
You mean like the dance stuff?
00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:39.119
They always do this.
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:44.239
This time, uh, what numbnuts, uh, Tristan had dinner with me last year, wanted me to come over.
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:45.360
I didn't necessarily want to go over.
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:47.440
And then, of course, he's the And then ghosted us on Twitter.
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:49.280
I gotta go, you know, on my private plane.
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:51.199
My private plane, my private plane, my private plane.
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:52.079
The plane, the plane.
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:53.920
I've got my 40 husbands running.
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:54.480
Exactly.
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:59.519
So anyway, then I said, just don't do an underwear party because you're gonna embarrass yourself.
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:02.480
Because I, you bring out the beast, you wake the beast.
00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:04.400
And he said, I'll show you embarrassing.
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:05.519
And he did it in embarrassing.
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:06.159
Exactly.
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:08.400
No, so then of course he's like, No, Daniel, we won't do it.
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:10.000
And then, of course, they have to do it.
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:14.159
So now my goal is to just watch him fail again miserably.
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:16.159
And you wake, don't wake the beast.
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:17.199
Be original.
00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:18.079
We're gay people.
00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:20.960
Why do we go from a creative class to a consumer class?
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:24.000
Like, why is it suddenly we went from leaders to followers?
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:26.880
Be creative, do something where I go, I had thought of that.
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:28.400
That's my trigger too, though.
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:29.360
I mine's very similar.
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:30.719
Jump on it, jump on.
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:33.679
Be original, be creative.
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:35.360
What triggers me?
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:51.840
If you go to a Queen show, okay, and I I see many Queen shows like in Provincetown, and instead of making a new video, like a vi an original video, like I did with Dina, or you know, like Dina makes uh genius videos, someone will put a Saturday night live clip in their show or and then expect people to pay.
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:56.000
Because let's face it, when you do a show every minute, you're it's like a taxi meter, right?
00:42:56.079 --> 00:43:02.079
They're paying for every minute to put Saturday night night live videos in their show drives me.
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:03.280
That's insane.
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:04.079
Crazy.
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:04.559
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:06.800
And that happens, and then people laugh at it.
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:07.679
That's the problem.
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:09.039
So who who does who does that?
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:09.920
Name some names.
00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:10.719
Name some names.
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:10.960
Come on.
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:12.719
Is it is our Rue, is it Rue Girls?
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:12.960
No.
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:13.440
Okay.
00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:15.519
Yeah, because most of the most of the yeah, anyway.
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:17.760
That's that's a good that's a good to hear.
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:19.679
If I saw that, I would like to throw something at the screen.
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:27.280
Because you know, you have to work hard to create material and it it you know, and sometimes it doesn't work, and sometimes you'll do a video and it it you end up scrapping it.
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:32.719
Not for me, but for colleagues.
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:33.760
Uh you know what I mean?
00:43:33.840 --> 00:43:36.079
And so you work so hard, and sometimes it doesn't always work.
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:42.559
You have to take a risk, and it just drives me crazy when people don't take a risk and just think, uh, this will make someone laugh, and you know, I didn't pay for it.
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:43.119
Yeah.
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:44.079
Yeah, well, that's wild.
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:45.039
What about you, Adam?
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:45.599
What's your trigger?
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:48.719
All right, I have to like breathe and compose myself so I don't explode.
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:53.119
But it it kind of like um it spins off of everything you guys are saying.
00:43:54.159 --> 00:44:02.400
We've had the boot on our necks for so long that we are forgetting who is actually the problem, right?
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:04.960
So we're accepting snakes in the garden.
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:06.320
And I'll go, I'll name names.
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:08.079
I'll go back to somebody like Tristan.
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:22.719
Somebody who has never ever fucking been a part of this community, who then gets a Wall Street Journal, a New York Times ad to call himself the CEO of everything fucking gay, and then does nothing good for the community.
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:36.480
I know countless club owners, party producers, promoters, go-go boys, bartenders, general managers, owners, festival producers that are giving safe spaces and cultural relevance to our community.
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:42.400
And then you have fuckers like this that will come in and people get all razzle-dazzled with the money and whatnot.
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.039
Right, and they're doing nothing good for us.
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:47.840
We have a beautiful community over there that is starving.
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:48.880
He bought the Abbey.
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:49.440
What do you do?
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:54.079
He moved the DJ booth to the center of the room because I'm all about symmetry.
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:56.639
Fuck you, you fucking piece of shit.
00:44:56.880 --> 00:44:57.199
Wow.
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:00.320
Do something else for the queer community.
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:05.679
I hate to bring this up, but um uh he's actually being Dina's new boss.
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.320
So I'm looking forward to seeing what he does.
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:13.280
Oh, right, because he he partnered with the Crown and Anchor and then fired everyone.
00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:16.639
Well, he kept me in Dina, and I'm grateful for that.
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:18.639
And I can't wait to see what he does with the community.
00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:19.199
Yeah, yeah.
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:20.960
Varla, I wish you the best with him.
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:21.679
I really do.
00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:23.679
I would love to see him turn over a new leaf.
00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:24.079
I really would.
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:25.039
I really would.
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:33.760
And Providence Hunt, he has some great people working for him, Providence, I will say, and they are really um, you know, looking out for the community so far.
00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:36.639
So uh, you know, maybe Providence Town will be a new title.
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:37.679
I hope it lasts.
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:38.719
I really hope it lasts.
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:39.920
You know, yeah, yeah.
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:42.320
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:45.039
So um I love you.
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:46.400
I can't wait to see the show tonight.
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:47.039
We're gonna let you go.
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:47.679
We're gonna get ready.
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:49.039
It's also hotter than hell in here.
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:50.719
It got hot in here.
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:52.800
I'll never be able to put my makeup on.
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:53.840
All right, you guys.
00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:54.480
