Mmm, bread. I'm pretty sure this isn't how you make M&M's cookie dough. Trust me, yellow. Just one spoonful of mixture. Mmm. And it's into the oven you go. The oven? Bread. Baking your friends isn't the best recipe. Oh. Try these new M&M's cookie dough instead. Mmm, mmm. New M&M's cookie dough flavor. No baking needed. M&M's. It's more fun together. Oh, baby. It's time to get the goss out. Shake it off. Baby, it's goss outside. So much is happening from philanthropic donations to in-studio massages. To the glam awards. And a big fuck-ice to everyone who can hear our voice. Plus a tip spot from drag author and educator, Kennedy and Scott. And me, Mimiversary for the ages, and your messages flood our inbox with updates and heavy-terged member picks. It's time to goss. Oh, I know. It's time to goss. If I wanted a goss, I would goss because everything I've gossed I've gossed for myself. So I do not have a goss daddy. If I wanted to get a goss daddy, I would have a goss daddy. You could never be gossed. Welcome back for another steaming pipe. Bobbos, goss, serving of. Oh, goss. This is our weekly chat show where we talk about events in our lives. Goss, hip and politics. And take a deep dive into the teams from you. So let's get into some. H-h-h-h. For you at Lady Gaga's secret show at the will turn, I was not. I was, I was not at the will turn show. Apple Music did a live Lady Gaga mayhem Requiem tour show last night. Right on the corner of Will turn Western at the will turn. So you're not on the House Labs mailing list and you weren't at the will turn show. What the... Just kidding. Wow. You were in a movie. She hated Lady Gaga. Yes. Yes. We're in the future film. You know what? I wasn't there either and I wish I was. It sounds legendary according to Gaga daily stuff. She did. Now listen, she's very secretive when she confiscated everybody's phones. She did not want any little monster rigmarole from last night. However, an internal source called Gaga daily is saying that she performed mayhem in full for the Requiem show. It was a funeral for mayhem with darker, moody, more rework of the album songs throughout. Including the first time she's ever done Don't Call Tonight, which I all love, and a new version of Die with a Smile, built around the instrumental for Kavinsky's night call. Of course. Kavinsky. Yes. A black veil was covering Gaga's face for the entire performance, presented on stage, resembling tit ruins, entire performance, towering pillars, broke stained glass windows. Oh honey. Sarah said that's the last thing. Look, you get for that money. No. And they were pipe organs rising from the rubble. I'm sure pipes were rising all throughout the night. Colored smoke lasers and neon lights filled the theater. And Gaga briefly spoke at the end, referencing the deconstruction of mayhem. And she bowed with the band, thank the crowd, and played, can't stop the high as curtain came down. Down, down, down. Here's what I am waiting for for my next Gaga thing. I know Beyoncé is coming out with her third album. It's a rock album. I see the sequel for telephone on that album. So I'm hoping the next time I see Gaga will talk about telephone. And I'll tell her how glad I am that she kept her promise of to be continued because her and Beyoncé said to be continued. And I have no reason to think that they won't keep their word, their women of their word, their worldly women. So I'm waiting. And that's what I want to see. I'm going to be about Verizon and it'll just be four minutes of silence of SOS. The number you have called. Are you aware of all of that? What? The Verizon outage? The hubbub. No, I don't know what that is. I have AT&T. Verizon just went out. I have G-Girl mobile. So I didn't notice either. But apparently Verizon went out. Did it go out everywhere in America or just certain cities? I know it went out in New York. So everyone who is on Verizon, their phone just said SOS when you go out into the woods. Oh my gosh. Freakish. Yeah, I had it. I sat down in a comedy show with, I went to, what is his name? Fuck, what is his name? I just went. It was at the end of the show. No, it was. Oh, Jared Carmichael. Jared Carmichael had a show at the improv and Andrew Dice Clay. No, but I was in the stars more than with him. He's nice. And they made us put our phones and bags and as soon as I sat down, I went to my pocket to get my phone and I was like, oh, it feels so weird because I was just going to check the time. Just to see how long does he have an opener just to see. And I was like, oh, I don't have a watch. And I was like, oh my God. I felt so helpless and useless without my phone. But his set was really funny. And I, he's working it out for a Netflix show, I think. So that's why he didn't want people recording it. Yeah. But it was a go-go. But it was the same sort of thing. She did this with the Harlequin concert that she did. And they filmed it and it was very like produced and like beautiful. So it seems like she's doing that same kind of treatment for Mayhem. And I cannot wait to see this. Yeah. Can't wait. This says that. The girls in the group chat. What? What was the group chat working? This says that the outage was for over 2 million customers. Oh. And Verizon is offering $20 credits for everyone. $20. What's that going to get? $20. $20. $20. The group chat was like, oh yeah, she closed with CSTH. I was like, CSTH. I was like, wait, what is... Can't stop the music. Can't stop the high. And juju be a wristball. It's called, it's can't stop the high. Which I didn't even know juju be would know all the deep cuts like that. I thought I would know the deep cuts more than juju be. But juju be a little monster confirmed. To him. Well, Justin he turns on a dime. Oasis is saved, honey. Wow. We weren't referring yet. I'm not going to lose my club. That was the dark sea. I'm wearing a drink. I was wearing a drink. I was going to drink at the bank. I'm not going to give up this club. She said, you haven't seen the last movie. Have you heard of AirRights? This is wonderful news. We're so thrilled. A rich person swooped into the last minute with a financial gift to kept the doors open. All it takes is one candy sniffer. We spoke at. They're going to be closed for a few months. Mm-hmm. So many people, it was in the ether and it was just like, it was like, we were all just like, there's so many rich people in this city. Is somebody going to step up? It's, it's really a beautiful thing. The substantial donation comes from the Stevens family. Although the amount was not disclosed, it is several million dollars large enough to sustain the nightclub and possibly purchase the building at 298 11th Street. Honey. Yay. I love this. I'm going to make sure I go up on the roof because when I heard they were closing, I was like, I haven't been on the roof since like 2018 or something. And the season with Leila on it, her original season. I remember being on it. There's so many fun things to do at that club and I'm glad they're open and we keep getting to party there. You can do many more puppet shows to come. Maybe three at once. Next up. What, what am I going to do? A foot. Yeah. Is that called footing? I don't know what it's called. Big Dipper. I'm listening. Now, why am I out of, out of the three? You're right. You're right. Is it footing? Ladies sitting on this Riverside call it full drag. If you have a foot in your butt, I'm calling you Cinderella. Can't because you're just looking for the right size. Slipber honey. That's all it is. Then you leave him at the club like Cinderella left her shoe. And then you know what else? Snacks for the road, pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seed. Feed is as turns into a pumpkin. A stroke of midnight. Stroke. Speaking of strokes, there's a stroke of genius. Feeding. Feeding. Oh, feeding. Feeding. Feeding. Feeding frenzy. Feeding frenzy. Feeding frenzy. Oh, thank you. I've definitely had a tell on me, but I'm not proud of that. It was. Yeah. Anyway, me as well to present. The glam awards. You're hosting the glam awards on Monday. And do you know who you're wearing? What designers? Local New York designer. What are you wearing? A cabin cloth, volumptuinal. I think I'm going to wear a Michael Bramble a gown. And a few million bucks. Yeah. And seeing as it's the only dress I brought. Probably going to go with that. Break out the Westwood. I know I am staying at Gina's. Also Gina's going to be home, possibly during the recording of this. Oh my God. Should be so thrilled. Fingers and toes crossed. She wants to. Exactly. I'm going to ask for women. Miss Mackenzie Scott donated $45 million to the Trevor Project. Because there is a rising mental health crisis for LGBTQ youth in the US right now. And she wanted to help the Trevor Project fund themselves. The Trevor Project calls this gift transformational. And if you don't know the Trevor Project is a nonprofit suicide prevention and advocacy organization for LGBTQ young people, the youth. And they announced Monday that they got 45 million smackers from Mackenzie Scott. Mackenzie Scott is the ex-wife of the guy that was on the yacht with Leo and Lauren Stanschez, right? That guy, the bald guy from Amazon Jeff Bezos. I don't know. I think Mackenzie Scott is the one that loot is based off of the Maya Rudolph show who's like just donating all of her money after her. Tycoon Boy. She's a novelist philanthropist and activist. She co-founded Amazon with Jeff Bezos in 1994, played a role in its early operations after their divorce in 2019. She adapted. She adopted her middle name Scott as her surname. She said, you know what? I'm going to be rich and not evil, which is so inspiring to see. And I'm glad that phenomenon does exist. It's a large 31.2 billion dollars. Why not? Jesus. Why not? Speaking of Tammy, why not? We have a rainbow spotlight. And this is a very exciting one I've been looking forward to this song. This is the song of the year, I believe. It is called cigarette by Luxe, New York London. One two at once, I dare you to not have it stuck in your head the entire day. It's fierce. The visual is coming out. The music video is coming out today. So this is cigarette day. So throw away the vape and turn up cigarette honey. Smoke and McGonough. Let's take a listen.

In case you haven't heard, we are very politically minded and we like to sing a song and talk about politics. So we are going to do that now. 5, 6, 7, 8. 5, 6, 7, 8. What's the starting note? Let's get political. Let it go. I want to get political. Let me see your party song. Fuck ice. Really though. Really, truly. Renee Good was killed in Minnesota. I don't know if you all heard. And the murderer called her a fucking bitch after as she was crashing his car. She did nothing to deserve it. States like Illinois and Minnesota are now suing the Trump administration for bringing these people that they aren't even background checking thoroughly and then giving them guns. Those are escalating throughout the country. It's terrible. There's video evidence. And are they just doing this to play look over there with the whole Epstein list? Is that why Trump is sending in our sending in criminals to police to streets like gangs or the Venezuelan, the Greenland thing for oil? This is crazy. Yes, there's multiple prongs to the sort of like devastation and destruction and violence and terror that is going on. And I do believe that a lot of it is rooted in to quote Jada Essence Hall, look over there. Because the news seems to be reporting because I mean, it's almost too much to even keep up with. Even if you are the sort of most reputable news source, which I don't think the news is doing a super great job overall. But even if you were, you would be barraged by so many sort of egregious, huge things happening that it would be hard to cover them all and keep up. So it is a distraction from the fact that he's so, so much in the Epstein files and continues to be. And so I don't know. And he's also like losing his mind. So I mean, it's just, it's a really scary time out there. He's a barrage queen. He's barraging us with all this fucking crap. And it's terrible. And fuck ice and fuck Trump. Absolutely. No, did you see the golden gloves? No, I did not. I saw a couple of the clips. Wanda Sykes was funny. Yes, she was. I saw a few clips. Also, Tiana Taylor speech was very nice. Mark Ruffalo. I saw a clip of him on the carpet. And he was, they were like, so how are you feeling tonight? Isn't this exciting? He was like, you know what? No, it's not exciting. There's horrible ghastly things going on. And it's really hard to pretend that like everything is fierce and cool, which I appreciate it because I feel that way every single day. And I'm like, I'm like, my social media, I'm like, okay, I'm going to post when I have to promote something. But other than that, I'm like, I don't feel like going on and being a drag queen on the internet right now. I don't feel like it's appropriate. I'm like, well, I know that like we have to like continue living our lives somehow. But I'm just like, there's so much fucked up stuff going on. It's like paralyzing. Yeah, I understand that. I definitely grasp that. And some of these celebrities at the Golden Globes, when they chose to speak on it, good for them for using their platform. Some of them look surprised to be there, but that was just their new upper blepharoplasty. Everyone loves an upper bluff. Everybody got, and everybody's doing brow lifts too. Selena Gomez is a browser in a different spot. Jennifer Lawrence is a browser in a different spot. Kate Hudson's browser in a different spot. And good for them for creating their body as they see fit. But it's so weird when everybody shows up and nobody's got eyelids anymore. Nobody. Yeah, everybody likes to get the little. It's just no downtime. Did you see that heated rivalry show yet? No, I haven't seen it, but I've heard a lot about it and I've heard it's wonderful. I watched it. It's, I love seeing gay stuff. So I will say I love it. They have one guy doing the voiceover. No, you're all the games. No, I was not. I was not in. It's no one show about gays that you were in. That's a reality. No fucks, no fucks, honey. That's not my story. Maybe if you look closely, you're the Zamboni driver at the hockey gate. They don't drag. I only participate in sports where there's cheerleaders. Oh, okay. Cheerleaders and balls. No pop. This be wait a second. And I hesitate to even say this over the air because. Put it in the file. Should that be our million dollar idea? We start hockey cheerleaders. Look at the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. They are a multi million dollar enterprise. It's a huge opening in the market. Everyone loves hockey right now because of gay. What's it called? Heated rivalry. Sibling rivalry. Heated rivalry. Don't do that. I think that's a great idea. But I mean, knee pads. Śip. Śip. Śip. Śip. Śip. Milk. It'll be a good. Get your ass out there and shake your ass, propa. Ha, ha, ha. Mitzie, take that fucking jacket off. Does anybody have a blade? Can you sharpen this blade? I think this is a good idea. Wait, this is a really good idea. Massage therapy, go, go, go. Oh my God. So, Nick, do you remember when So, Nick called me when we were podcasting? I was like, I have to pick up. It's a winner. She called me to let me know that she had had the massage of her life and that I would very much appreciate the same thing. Yeah. And this man came over and cracked me in ways I didn't even know I could be correct, honey. I love that kind of massage. So, what's his name? His name is The Haitian Stretch. Ooh, I bet you experience The Haitian Stretch. What's a twist? Yeah, I think so. I try to be serious and promote a business for once. But yes, The Haitian Stretch stretched me. Dave, because you showed some clips on your social media and he is doing the thing work. You sort of get like sort of turned and, you know, bent and I love it. I love that kind of massage. I've only had one that was really like, is it sort of like chiropractorism? I've never been to one of those, but I was stretched and opened like one of those or got me projects after you have to fold the paper and then unfold it to make sure you got the fold in. And then I felt like a frog in a biology class with my legs, my knees going open and using my body weight to open it up. And then he hooked his legs around mine and then rolled me back. So I was just like splot out upside down all of a sudden I see the ceiling and I knew. Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it. At that point that God was real. Yes. The way he had opened up all of my plexuses and my nexus is solar wind, water, earth. I was grounded. Earth fire, wind water, heart, heart. I felt so good after this. And I forgot that he was filming and then I saw my face later and I was like, oh, you like that, how? Oh, face, honey. It didn't help that he was fine as hell too. I think that's what's so neat new I would like, but also his massage and upon finishing, I said, I'm giving, I'm calling Dave and Ben. They're my new friends in Hollywood. I'm calling this girl, macro. Everybody needs a new masseuse. All my friends have just moved to town. I was like, if you need a masseuse, talk to this person. Okay. Cause paying it forward, that massage was the best of my life. And oh, my God. Yeah. The Haitian stretch. So is that his handle? Yes, it is. The Haitian stretch. And he's new to LA works between Riverside and LA and honestly do yourself a favor. Okay. Do you like that, Daddy? All right, the Haitian stretch. Yeah. Now speaking of hockey gay, we're going to start the world's first hockey cheerleaders. Now, are they on ice skates? I don't know. Like maybe, maybe they're in fur booties like Rainbow Bright's horse. But do they run out onto the ice and their shoes? Cause sometimes the coaches have to do that. But then if they're jumping and dancing about out, I don't think that that shoes are good for ice. So the, hey, you get out. Of our way. d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d he couldn't reconcile his athletic career and his sexuality. Has now shared a post coming out as a gay and credited he to rival Reef and inspiring him. While he didn't compete in the NHL, he played defense, defenseman slash center. It's several leagues. And that passion for hockey prevented him from coming out sooner. Well, look at this, listen. Everywhere there is a gay. There's one right over your shoulder. That is me on that plank, isn't it? It is. Oh my God, that's correct. I was like, who is that screen? And then I was like, that's my mouth. That's Corp. Corp. Oh my God. I'm so happy that Jesse Courteeum is living his best life. And I think that he should be on a heated rival or a season two as maybe a story advisor or I'd be maybe a fluffer consultant. Sure. I think real life experience would be great. We're gonna take a break. Yeah, let's take a break on that one and we'll be right back. What if the cheerleaders are on the Zamponi? With the Zampone, there's like three of them per game and they could be Colt. The Zampone girls. Yes. Yeah. You know what happened if Jimbo was on it, he's Zamponi Bologna. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. the rest and Adiva. Please welcome at this time the all one of the authors of no T no shade life as a drag queen. It's Kennedy and Scott. Hello. Hey, girl. I'm lovely. I'm great. How are you? Wonderful. Are you you're in Nashville? I am in Nashville. I'm at my friend Bishop's house and we are here with you lovely ladies. So wait is Bishop the one who became your assistant who wrote us a letter? Uh yeah he's well technically he was my ex-boyfriend who became my assistant. Oh, you're the letter. So, from dating to employee, how does that how's that working out? You know it's going well. It's going well. I think we both understand each other and we like have common ground that we still have a mutual respect for each other. So it kind of like vibes and works well. He knows how to work around my sass and my drag. So, you know, he can handle it. As long as you don't start trying to I thought I was thinking about doing drag. Oh wait for it. Wait for it. Or when he when he gets his own merch, he's like I should do merch too. It's got me. So wait wait for the wait to give a little context. Your now assistant used to be boyfriend, former boyfriend named Bishop. Yes. Yes. Sister Slam Pace. In a letter to this podcast and we read it and Bishop was asking how do I be a good drag queen assistant because I like am starting out assisting someone who's a drag queen. And Dipper was like, oh, and in his letter, he was like, oh, and like she's really busy because she's working on various projects. And Dipper's response was, you need to promote the projects. What are the projects that she's working on? Lesson number one of being the assistant. So that that became you coming on the podcast. And look here here now. We're talking about the project. He even told me he was doing it. So look at him being a little sneaky. He's a keeper. We also said don't fuck the promoter. Yes. So we now joke about that all the time because every time he says, hey, I found something I said, did you fuck them yet? Because that's not going to happen. So he's he's done well not fucking the promoter. Yeah, he's done well not doing that or he hasn't told God. Good girl. You know that they sometimes do. You got an air tag. Oh, I have a location. Good. I have a location. I can't trust they lie. Let's talk about this book because you're a co-author with some big name divas Laguna blue Alexis Michelle Olivia Lux, Julie J and Nina West. Yes. And I don't know about the book. That girl. Who's that girl? Tell us about the book. I haven't read it. I forgot my copy in Los Angeles. Thank you for sending it to me. I read the first 40 pages. Yeah. Yeah. Willem you win. No, the book is a collection of essays from six of us. Each of us wrote five chapters in the book. I start the book. So it's been really a cool journey to not only tell my story and to get my story out there, but having people being able to relate to things that I've been to are been through and things that they're going through now or have been through. So it's been really nice to like have something to show people that were all connected in some way. And so with my stories, I just kind of was very raw and real. I didn't want to hold back. I didn't want to sugarcoat anything. I just kind of wanted to put it out there and see what people do with it. In the book, you're talking about how you don't necessarily as Ben don't you navigate better the cruel world. That's a RuPaul. That Kennedy is your Kennedy Anne is your protector and like your your armor and the character that you need to embody to like get through it. Is she like your superhero? I would say yeah. She's morphed into my superhero. She's given me the wings to I guess Ben always myself always had it in in me to be strong, but she was the one that I kind of gravitated towards when I needed someone of strength. And then whenever I would go in drag, people would actually sit down and listen and I was like, oh, okay. So she's someone that can get somebody to listen to and like help people, you know, promote people, get it all out there for whatever I needed to be in that moment for someone else. So she kind of embodied and was the armor that I needed to become a better and stronger person. And now you got to do a decimal number, bitch. I know. I'm ready. This is so wild. It's so wild. Librarians are not just for second dick anymore. And tell tell all your friends and everybody in dick in a library. Oh, yes. I used to all the time. Coco beach library. Oh, no, I would go in the bathroom. Because there's nothing about the stacks. That would be kind of hot though. Well, no, I didn't want to line out the reference section. Don't do it. Oh my god. So you the book is called No Tea No Shade. Life is a drag queen. So like, what is this sort of like, but you said you're not pulling any punches. You're letting it all hang out. What is this sort of most like scandalous thing that somebody talks about in this book? Because these are some stories. Yeah. If you want to, I would say that Olivia has the most skinless stories. And I'm what is she talking about? Well, she talks about, you know, like some of engagements that she's been in and stuff like that. Engagements. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not giving too much away. Because we want people to read it, you know, but it's worth the read. And I like her section. It's so it's a little scandalous. Were any of the girls late on deadline? Did they all were they all prompt? Did Nina have footprints all over hers? Yeah. Let me tell you right now. Laguna blue was right down to the deadline. Let me tell you right now. I'm telling you right now. I will say this. I was the first done. Okay. Well, I have the, you know, being a teacher and my time management, honey, I was ready and waiting. Julie, Julie, Jay looks so fierce. Yeah. She does. I love her. Yeah. What a great book. I'm so glad that you put all this stuff on paper for everybody to see. And everybody go out and get it. And if you don't have the money to get it, go to your local library and request it because libraries order books all the time. Yes, they do. So it's important because those those go across the whole thing for those go across the whole nation for how many people are actually tangibly getting the book and reading the book. And so our message gets across to even more. So library numbers matter just as much as going out and buying it. Yeah. Everybody. No T no shade. Life as a drag queen out now. And thank you to Kennedy and Scott. You can follow her at miss Kennedy and Scott. Thank you for joining us. Are you doing any any book parties anywhere in Nashville locally? We know all the book parties in Nashville, but there is always a time I have a residency as a at the lipstick lounge every Wednesday, Friday, every other Saturday. So I'm always signing books and you know, taking names, doing numbers, anything I need to do. I love that. What grade do you teach? I now teach eighth grade. Well, thank you for educating those little monsters. My sisters are teacher and they don't pay y'all enough. I know. Well, I was kindergarten teacher for 14 years. So I was. Oh, they're easy. You just give me a benadryl. Yeah. God bless you. I love it. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for coming on. Thank you all for having me. I love you all. Thank you for all you do. We have a very special meme of our story right now. Everybody loves this speech. We all know it. If you're ever near, if you're ever near Tiffany, near Pollard, she will deliver it for you perfectly every time I've gotten to work with her on some out TV shows and she is a gift to any room that she is in. And 10 years ago, she told Gemma Collins that she should have never picked up the shoes. Zara Larsen hired her to re-record the whole clip because she wanted it for her song. That's how you know you're an icon. That's how you're Tiffany Pollard. It's been. It was just a celebrity, big brother that Courtney was on. It was that franchise, but it wasn't that season. I think it starts with basically what I'd like Gemma to know is that she's a fat cunt. And she's talking about Gemma Collins. Yeah, I knew the quote, but I didn't know she's talking about the shoes she gave me were she said they were for someone young and sexy, but they're actually old maiden type shoes. And if they were for someone young and sexy, she should have never picked them up off of the shelf because if she thought she was that fly, someone lied to her several times. There were several things in there that are pretty. I'm not afraid of a sword. Yeah. You nailed it. You nailed it. Pretty much I'd like to say that's how it starts that you know it's going to be like, oh, you know, something good is coming after that. Yeah, preamble. And I love that she got to re-record it for Zara Larsen because like Zara is a woman right now too. Yes, never ending midnight meme, honey. Honey, let's do that choreography. We're doing it perfectly. Pretty much I would let Gemma know that she is a fat cunt. And the shoes that she gave me were not something that I would particularly buy for myself. They were old maiden type of shoes. And she said that those shoes were meant to be worn on a beautiful woman. So if that's the case, she should have put them back on the rack. Oh, why? And she should never even purchase them because she was unqualified to own those shoes. Oh my god. Nothing of the sort. And I think Gemma is just a disgrace. She's a disgrace to women who are actually beautiful and classy. And she just doesn't have the vernacular that she thinks she possesses. Somebody lied to her several times and told her that she was fly hot and sexy and beautiful. And she's nothing of the sort. She's nothing of the sort. Yeah, nothing of the sort. Okay, please put this in the file for when we do our competition based reality show tentatively working titled rigged with Alaska and Willem. That needs to be a monologue rigga Tony. Rigorella. Thank you Tiffany, New York. Tony, the tiger come in. Happy 10 year anniversary to calling Gemma Collins, a an old maiden type. This is the moment where we go. Good evening Distinguished Panel of Judges. My name is Eric from Houston, Texas. And let's get down to it. The who? Kpop group, the Sarah Femme. I'm fearless rearranged. It means their name is I'm fearless rearranged. Okay. The when 2025, SBS, Gaiot, Dejon, the where? So fee of voice. Korea, December, 2025. The what? Kpop group, Lacera Femme made history by inviting Korean drag queens to perform with them at the end of the year celebration. The why? Does there need to be a reason for drag on TV? No. I implore you all to look up. Lacera Femme, Gaiot, Dejon, 2025. We'll link it in our Instagram on race, jacer, for the official performance or Lacera Femme, Dejon, 2025 practice to see the practice video. Drag has been making its waves as of late due to the efforts of Lacera Femme and the group NMIXX who did a collab with Pablo Vita last year. Lacera Femme also released Crazy, a comeback album with Vogue elements in the song, official dance and music video. The group invited the house of juicy couture to participate in the video and features them as well. TVH, this is a big step for Kpop as the industry blatantly ripping off black artists for years specifically for some reason, Tinashe. So to see credit being given where it's due, warms my heart. I've also attached two pricks for priority boarding. All my best. E. Well, there's actually only one prick and one but what ass honey ass ass all my tea. This is a beautiful crevice of a light dusting of hair and the dick. The dick. The dick is big. The dick is big. For us, had a drag name, it would be Harry S. Rump. And the front, I think she could be called Tina Turn style because this dick is huge. It is a turn style poking out. It's poking out of some very smart looking boxer shorts, blue plaid boxer shorts. And he has what the flap in the boxer shorts is for to let your turgid member flap out sideways and much like tests in working girl. He has a head for numbers and a bod for sin. He has sin written right there on his abdomen. S. I. N. Wait, he does. You don't see that? It's oh you zoomed in. So yes, I zoomed on it. First thing I did, I have a you don't really zoom in to see that. I zoom in on all pictures because the first thing I do when someone sends me a picture for hook up apps for Sniffy's Grindr jacked whatever is I look to see if their fingernails are clean because if their fingernails aren't clean, I really don't want their fingers in my mouth and it won't fuck me because it's a good indication that their house probably ain't clean. Or their butthole. Can you wash your hands? Let me ask you about the strides that the Kpop world has been making into crossing over with drag. I mean, it makes a lot of sense and it's great to see. So check out Lissera Femm. It's got two S's and then the rest of it just sounds like what it's spelled like. Yes. Or however it was. I'm just Brendan. Hey, Dawes and Dipper. After catching up on hot goss number three twenty three. Oh, here we go. We're in trouble now. Which one's that? You mentioned going out in WeHo and doing reviews. I highly recommend doing Jim Bar on Tuesday or Thursday nights as WeHo Dodgeball packs the bar after the game. So peak time is about 8.30 to 11. I help run WeHo Dodgeball. But started a few years after Willem played, who I believe left mid season to film season four. It's a fun crowd and the food and drink prices and poor are pretty amazing. Staff is great and DJs as well. DJ Bristle on Tuesdays. DJ Rare Roads on Thursdays. We've always appreciated Willem shouting out WeHo Dodgeball on the podcast when people ask about ways to meet people in LA. If you're so inclined to do it again, we have our spring season registration opening January 21st and season starts on February 10 and 12th respectively. I joined about 10 years ago after being new to LA and met my closest friends and even my husband through throwing balls at strange bars. That's how we all meet our husbands, isn't it? If anyone can find info at WeHo Dodgeball on Instagram or our website WeHoDodgeball.com, we'd love to have you swing by our games or even just Jim Bar to hang out and check out the vibe. Side note, years ago my husband and I co-officiated a straight wedding and our entire set was a spoof of race, chaser and drag race. We started with your hello, hello, hello intro and ended with RuPaul's. If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you're going to love somebody else, my friends grandmother who didn't understand any of the references loved it. Wanted to adhere to boarding policies of the pod, Nudes attached for priority boarding. As always, we love your pod and hubby have listened religiously. Thanks for all the joy you bring, Brendan. Speaking of religiously monk, let me be your church honey. I'll be on my knees. This stick is big. The butt is big too. The butt's got a lot of button to do. Yeah, thanks for this ass picture. You seem to be standing up in a, yes, a jacuzzi whirlpool and you stood up and you're stopping wet rumpus just gorgeous. Oh, how in the world I wonder, honey, I want to be, I need it. I need it. Somebody get me a snorkel. This is beautiful. And I'm so glad that you found your little tribe with a dodgeball. It's so much fun just getting outside and doing stuff or being in a gym and like hurting others. Doing something live in person with real people there's really nothing like it. There are some people in a lot of sense. My favorite thing was getting out the ninja player, the one that would do all these moves that crazy would get everybody out and just throw it so hard that you felt it for three days to get that person out even once you're like, go sit on the side. Do you want some of that? No. Because if you talk to advice me against doing activities where balls are flying at my face, well there goes your social life. I just think that once I got hit bad enough that like my feet went out from under me and my head hit the ground and I was like, I was like, I'm going to go do drag race. It's just as violent. I mean, we did the wrestling challenge. That was a lot more violent than this. Wait, is this first picture him getting out of the jacuzzi as well? I think yeah, because that's not very well wet. They said, baby, it's big. Get up there and take some pictures. His man did that for him. He said, and your balls are all shaved and all mice. Look at how huge this cock is. Take a picture. Take a picture. Get the car. Take me. Get the car. Take this out of your mouth and grab my phone. We're going to do some pictures because you know he said he fluffed it. He waved it at the photographer and said, you want to take him? You're going to walk? Oh, yeah. No, I'm alone style. Oh, yes. Do you know that sex scene last less than 30 seconds? I counted it in real time. There are no cuts. It's 27 seconds. That seems way logger. This is why you never try to top it off. No, too smooth. Can't get a grip. Gotta wear up.
