Animal Love and Movie Excitement
00:00:53
Speaker
I knew you were going to bring PETA into this. I always bring PETA because they always come knocking on my door. Me too. I'm your modern day Cruella. Oh, come on, give me your best Cruella. Darling.
00:01:08
Speaker
I was about to be like little girls, but then I remembered that's Miss Hannah again. Exactly. In fact, they're famous for having animals in 101 Dalmatians, specifically dogs. Famously not girls. Yeah, like one singular girl.
00:01:27
Speaker
Wait, I have to. OK, I'm so sorry. I have to interrupt because my brain just erupted with this breaking news. Last episode, we talked about an infamous movie called The Beekeeper starting Jason Seatham. It is out in theaters now. And I need to tell our audience that I in fact watched it in person. My eyeballs in the theater. It was like a late night showing. I cannot express to you. Everyone in America needs to see this movie.
00:01:57
Speaker
Every single person in America, get off your seat, type into your little computer or phone, amc.com, find your nearest screening near you, and go see The Beekeeper. You will not be disappointed.
00:02:10
Speaker
Can you give us one of your favorite scenes that might not give too much away?
Analyzing 'The Beekeeper'
00:02:17
Speaker
Or maybe it does give some away. We gave already things away in the last episode. I have so friggin' Lutely. I've been waiting for this all day. In a very important and significant scene in this movie, Jason Satham, who plays, in fact, the beekeeper, he is part of a government organization that sends people, the beekeepers, to right the world.
00:02:37
Speaker
He looks almost dead into camera at one point in this movie at a very important point and goes to be or not to be. Oh, I love I say to be. And that is not a joke. This actually happened. This is part of the movie. This is canon. Thank you.
00:02:57
Speaker
I love that. I mean, you've got to make that. That's camp. Oh, it's like full camp. I could I couldn't tell if they were winking at the audience. I don't know what it was. Like I couldn't tell. I choose to believe everyone knew what was happening and everyone was having a good time. And everybody was doing a different movie. All the actors were doing a different movie. Jason Statham was in an alternate reality. Everybody else was like, like having a good time. And then Josh Hutcherson was giving his best James Franco impression.
00:03:28
Speaker
Oh, my God, Josh Hutcherson. He was in this. That's that would make me watch it. We should. I would go see it again. Or I would any time I would go see it again. If you are a listener and you would like to go see The Beekeeper at any point from now until the end of February, hit me up. I'll go with you. Honestly, I need people to see this movie again with. So hit me up.
00:03:51
Speaker
It was insane. I felt insane. For two hours, I felt like I was experiencing insanity. I loved it, but it's an insane film that everybody should watch. So we could talk about this insanity together. Wait, and so when did it come out?
00:04:08
Speaker
It feels like it's always been there. But likely like two weeks ago, I think. I totally forgot it was that recent. It's very recent. I mean, it just recently came out. And I cannot stress this enough. The entire United States, Alaska and Hawaii need to see this as soon as possible. It is an excellent movie experience. But get real blazed up. Like go in there either drunk or high and just have a good time.
00:04:37
Speaker
you're going to watch a serial killer with superpowers just destroy people for an hour and a half. Does a grandma get murked? Yes. I was like, did we make that up? No, that's the crucial part of this. This is what sets off the entire story is that she, spoiler alert, kills herself because of a scheme that goes wrong. And she's played by, oh, my God,
00:05:06
Speaker
Felicia Rashad, known actress Felicia Rashad plays this grandmother, which I'm like, she doesn't even look like a grandmother, but find whatever I'll give
Movie Plot Clarifications
00:05:16
Speaker
it to you. Find places like gives a really subtle, amazing performance, believable performance of a grandmother who loses all her money to an internet scheme by people at a meta like company. Wow.
00:05:30
Speaker
I recently watched the movie, A Haunting in Venice, which does not take place at Venice Beach. For anyone who thought that. You thought that. Right at the beginning, I was like, ooh, gondolas.
00:05:51
Speaker
Ooh, Italy. Ooh. Okay, I see. Where's the mussel beach? Right. Yeah, where's the ice cream stand and the person walking around with the chopped mangoes? Definitely not there, but so there was lots of twists and turns. One of the biggest twists happens pretty early when I was going to say one of my favorite actors, but I can't remember her name. Michelle Yeoh?
00:06:15
Speaker
I think so. The one who was also in everywhere all at once. Yeah, Michelle Yeoh. Yes. So when she came on screen, I like forgot she was in it, she came on screen, I was like, Oh my God, I'm so excited. And then do you know what happens? Oh, I surely do.
00:06:31
Speaker
Yeah. So so that whole movie was just like twists and turns. And I really just wanted the whole house to like engulf and and kill them all. But then they played it off like it was all on the mother, which spoiler alert, it's all on the mother. No spoiler alert. I could promise you if you are following this, it is not a spoiler alert. Watch the movie. Yeah. Yeah. I see. I was I really wanted it to be ghosts. So I was like, oh, yeah, ghosts. It's going to be like a poltergeist thing.
00:07:01
Speaker
And then I was watching it with Joe and Joe was like, I bet it's this mother. And I was like, no, no, she's you know, she's sad. She's sad. She's crazy. She's nuts. Yeah, she's nuts. So that was really upsetting. But that was such a crazy movie. And then in the same week, I watched Borat for the first
First-time Reactions to 'Borat'
00:07:20
Speaker
time.
00:07:20
Speaker
for the first time. Okay, follow up question. Number one, what'd you have against Borat in the first place that you didn't watch it when we were, what, 12 years old? And then the second is, what made you go watch it this week? I think when it came out, it was just like, I wasn't there yet, like as a person, you know? Expand on that. Like we were what? Like how old were 12? Like 12. Okay, so at 12, I was kind of like,
00:07:50
Speaker
still watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. If I was watching MTV, it would be next or parental control or music videos in the morning. Then for movies, I was Pirates of the Caribbean, National Treasure, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter.
00:08:14
Speaker
Borat was not speaking to me. And if anything, I was like slightly alarmed by just his personality because I would see the commercials. I remember seeing like commercials and stuff and being like, oh, my God.
00:08:28
Speaker
I mean, it's very off-putting. Yeah. If you are the kind of person that, again, Nickelodeon music videos next, Lord of the Rings Harry Potter, yes, a man going, yak shamash, and just like spewing anti-Semitism, which, you know, whatever, might be jarring to a child, of course.
00:08:46
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I think that's the thing. I just wasn't. It wasn't for me, you know, but so I watched it this past week and. I still don't think it's. What a twist. What a twist in today's episode.
00:09:06
Speaker
What a twist. Still not for you, huh? I was watching it with Jess and she was adamant about me watching. This is Jessica Singer, who is a friend of the pod. She wanted me to watch it so bad. We go to watch it. I think it was up against Face Off.
00:09:26
Speaker
That's what your choices were Borat or face off right face off being the one with oh, I know John Travolta in the case Yes, so the another favorite of Jess's cuz face off is I'm so sorry face off is timeless
00:09:42
Speaker
Nick Cage puts in a performance that is psychotic. Psychotic. I can't even say the word right. Psychotic. Once I saw Nick Cage, really the only time seeing him in National Treasure, that's who he is for me. He's like an independent diplomatic patriot
Typecasting and Actor Discussions
00:10:00
Speaker
of the United States culture and history.
00:10:05
Speaker
So I it's hard to see him as anything else. You know, it's the same thing with like Harry Potter. You know, I can't see him naked in equestrian plays in the UK. I can see him. I did see him. Yeah. You know, he's still Harry Potter to me, like even in other stuff.
00:10:22
Speaker
Which I know is bad. I know that's how we should not look at people, but sometimes it's like- Ring ring Daniel Rakoff on the phone. You're bad. You should see me in other things and think of me as other. People do that all the time. It's fine. First of all, that's a thing that is really important to you because it was part of your childhood. So it's hard to move on from that.
00:10:42
Speaker
It's ingrained. But you're also not going to walk up to him and be like, Harry Potter, Harry Potter! You won't do that. Oh, you bet. 10 years ago, I would have. OK, well, never mind that. OK, wait. So you're watching Borac. That is definitely not something up your alley, as you've learned. How far into the movie did you realize? Not for me.
00:11:07
Speaker
I don't think the opening credits were done yet. I mean, I definitely was entertained. Sure. But I think there were so many moments where I was just like, oh, he makes me so uncomfortable. And, you know, he's like in the subway.
00:11:24
Speaker
And I'm like, did people sign appearance releases in this moment? And so I guess I was just having all of this like side emotional baggage for everyone who had been affected by Borat in these scenes.
Music Videos and Controversial Themes
00:11:40
Speaker
I feel like the moment you saw the running of the Jew, you were like, okay. Well, and I was saying to Jess too, I don't think, and this is probably my ignorance at play, I would not, that would have gone over my head if it wasn't called out to me as being that.
00:11:56
Speaker
Um, I, I don't think I mean, again, I'm so much more knowledgeable now because of all of my close Jewish friends, but force you to know what's going on. Yeah. Cause I wouldn't the same thing with the Doja Cat music video. Yeah. I had to tell people.
00:12:12
Speaker
I had to tell people, because they all paid attention to the devil worship, whatever. I'm like, she's riding a little goblin in the beginning. That's a stereotypical depiction and anti-Semitic propaganda, which goes into the theme of her trying to explain that she doesn't care what you tell her. Dang. Doja, doja, doja. Don't you, don't you, don't you feel a little bad about that? And the answer is no.
00:12:35
Speaker
Um, so I guess to wrap things up with, um, I want to say Bruno, but it's Borat. I've never seen Bruno. That's the one I haven't seen.
00:12:46
Speaker
That's his other movie, where he plays a gay model that's infiltrating Fashion Week. It's his other work. I thought you were referencing Sacha Baron Cohen's other movie, Bruno. No, that is so funny. You are a genius and you don't even know it. I know. What's so odd is that you are actually the smartest person in the world and you're making connections in your brain.
00:13:08
Speaker
Yeah. And you don't even know you're making those connections. Yeah. Well, I always think that I do have... Third eye? Yeah. Third eye blind? Yeah, exactly. Third eye blind. Baby. And then seven doors down. What was it called? Three doors down. Three doors. What? No, no, no. Seven doors down is better.
00:13:27
Speaker
I like seven doors down. Yeah, you know, it was a whole complex. Yeah, three doors down. Oh, lucky you, living in a small condo. Is that a duplex with a back entrance? Yeah, white privilege is showing three doors down. Okay, yeah, exactly. Do you like the comedian who does Jimmy, public school girl? Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, the Australian guy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I do. I do. Work, yeah. I just felt like, you know, if you're into
00:13:56
Speaker
Yeah, he's funny. He does that also. He makes people uncomfortable, but in a different way. Like it's more like I know he does a character based comedy. So it's like he's that character in that sketch for a long time with that movie or it's a reoccurring thing. So yeah, hilarity is for sure. I guess I do. We have a caller. No, it's work emails. It's always work emails. You know what I mean?
00:14:22
Speaker
Oh, get me off the clock. Get me off the clock. No, I always like have my emails going because just in case, just like you, we're both like we're working girls. We, you know, we got a we're a slave to capitalism, which we love, according to episode one. Love, love, love, love, love. Oh my God. Yes. I want a condo. Oh, I was just going to get into a whole other story, but I feel like we should probably take a break.
Drag Performance Insights
00:14:48
Speaker
Okay, I'm gonna bring that letter so you could tell me if it's fake or not still because I'm now getting concerned I'm gonna bring the letter. Oh great. Okay. Well, we're gonna take a moment collect our thoughts and we'll be back
00:15:07
Speaker
OK, maybe maybe we're not going to talk about taxes because that's a friggin downer. Instead, I'm going to talk about something very fun like ice over the weekend, which is an amazing show by yours truly. You know, is that not the way to use that expression? Yours truly. Oh, when you say yours truly. And I only remember that because someone used to that work today.
00:15:36
Speaker
I was like, girl, yes, you did. I'm so sorry. I'm talking about you because I saw your show this weekend, which was incredible. Well, thank you. I mean, thank you for for going. It was a real treat to see their right front and center. It's a blast. I always have a fun time seeing you live.
00:15:54
Speaker
This was like the first time I had gotten in drag for a show in like months, mainly because I'm just always exhausted from the corporate life. But it was really great to just like be out there performing. I got to do a number for the first time, which was really great. And yeah, it was for such a cold day, having Stash packed, it was very warm in there.
00:16:21
Speaker
It was very warm. I dressed appropriately on theme. I wore a thing with a fringe on it. The theme was cowboys and aliens. I wore my fringe jacket. I was hot as all hell. And watching you dance, I went, how are you not slipping on sweat? Because
00:16:42
Speaker
It is hot sitting, let alone doing the acrobatic dance moves you were doing on that stage, dropping it to the ground in, I'm not kidding, five inch heels. It was a glorious sight to see. You were so funny. That is so funny. I knew, I was sweating in the back, like waiting in that outfit and I'm fanning myself and I'm like, I'm not getting any cooler. And I'm like, normally if I stand still, like I can reset.
00:17:08
Speaker
I'm still dripping. So then I start putting water in the mullet to be like, okay, it's a wet look. We're just going for a wet cowboy. It was a good time. Yeah. No, you were great. And it was a packed, packed spot. And the crowd was really fun. And everyone was really into it. And you get to end the performances were great. Like hybrid was so good. Siri was incredible. Maybe a girl was sick. Like this was it was an awesome, awesome lineup.
00:17:36
Speaker
Yeah, I really did like that that cast that lineup was so great. It was like a lot of my favorites. And I mean, maybe in hybrid always put on a good show. And I love that show because I feel like I can do whatever I want, you know, within the theme, of course, but like.
00:17:53
Speaker
you can come up with fun ideas and be able to perform like any sort of character or like vibe that you want to go for. Whereas like some other places you kind of have to stick to like a top 40. You kind of have to have a certain look all the time. And so yeah, I really appreciate them and I appreciate the space for letting them do that.
00:18:15
Speaker
Well, if you're listening, you're going, man, I really I want to check this thing out. Yeah. So every Sunday at one p.m. is Wigs and Waffles at Stash WeHo. It's hosted by Hybrid and maybe a girl and.
00:18:31
Speaker
Always has a great lineup, really good food. I specifically say all the time to people that the food at Stash is really, really good. It was good. Yeah, I either go for the banh mi fries or I go for the chicken and waffles.
00:18:49
Speaker
And it's vegan, vegetarian. It definitely has options for all sorts of dietary restrictions. And we love that. And that's very supportive of our community out here. So yeah. I've got an espresso martini to drink. I got to drink it while I watched everybody kill it up on stage. I had a really good quinoa breakfast bowl. My friend Money had the chicken and waffles with like
00:19:17
Speaker
faux chicken nuggets or whatever. It was a time. Great food, great mixes. I got to say, the songs were good. I think the thing you're talking about, top 40 especially in LA, it's like you almost can know what people are going to play. But at this show, it was a really good mix of stuff from the past that should be more iconic now and new stuff.
00:19:42
Speaker
and and personally i heard a lot of gaga specifically from art pop and it made me really happy of course i mean you can't have space themed anything without that i mean in both my numbers i had gaga because i could use her western tracks from one album and her space tracks from another album the moment ao came on i was like
00:20:06
Speaker
In my head, I was like, did you know that that's the first song that plays on my phone when I plug my phone and connect? Same, same. Yeah. I mean, it's whatever it's the spelling of it or whatever. It's the first one that plays on mine, too. It's like capital A dash YO. Yes. Yeah. That is why. Well, I have to say, not only did we have a great show on Sunday and how enjoyable
00:20:29
Speaker
that all was, which oh my God, we really could get into so many details about that. There was such a nice kiki at the end. Oh, that was awesome. But I was so happy and impressed by everyone at your show. It was only like a couple weeks ago, right? It feels like a couple weeks ago. Literally so good. I feel like also too, I don't know what it is about the people you guys
00:20:54
Speaker
bring but everyone is so like comfortable to be around and very like approachable on stage like as soon as they get into their set you feel like you know them you feel like you want to be friends with them and that's gone for like pretty much every single person i've seen in the last few shows i've been to but this past month was such an amazing lineup
00:21:17
Speaker
Oh, I'm so happy.
Comedy Show Experiences
00:21:18
Speaker
Yeah, we've been putting on this show. It's like a monthly comedy show in the valley at the good night called like comedy or whatever. Because me and my three co-hosts, we kind of like realized there's not that many open mics up in the valley, like most stuff is happening in the city, which is like,
00:21:35
Speaker
It's like hard, it's like very expensive spaces to book. There's like not a lot of parking. There's just, we figure we wanted to have something in the valley that's like close by. And we've been putting on these shows for like half a year and it's been really fun. And we specifically find lineups of people we like and we want to watch. And oftentimes it's people that don't really get to go up as much at other places or
00:21:59
Speaker
Standup is so difficult and it's still such a weird world. So when we pick people, it's people we like that are fun, that we know are going to have a good time, that are going to make you feel comfortable because they're just cool people. What's really important I want to make.
00:22:15
Speaker
make it very known is that we, all the tickets and all the proceeds, we split among the performers. You know, if you're getting up there and you're being vulnerable and you're performing, like you deserve to get it. It's not a lot of money, obviously, but it's something which I think is like important for people to get paid for their craft. So yeah, I mean, it's only $10 a ticket and you get like a solid, I'm trying to think of how long the show goes. It feels like a
00:22:38
Speaker
it's like an hour we try to keep it short in and out like so that way you come in you have a good time if you want to stay after there's always karaoke oh and on Mondays there's drag karaoke right after us so if you come in at the right time you're gonna see some fun shit
00:22:56
Speaker
Yes. Oh my gosh. What a crazy Monday night. Yeah. And it's at the good night. You said that. It's a great venue. The drinks are really good and pretty strong. Always keeps me on my seat. Shout out to our bartender Paula. Yes. We have a Cynthia, we have a Paula. They're awesome. I want to kiss you.
00:23:24
Speaker
Every time. And every time you shoot me down, but it's not going to make me stop. I know. Well, because I've said this before, I'm scared of being pegged. Don't be scared. You'll be fine. You know, you'll slip me the tongue and next thing you know, you'll be fine. I'm going to be like that viral video of someone falling on like a lamppost. My biggest regret in life is that I turned down an opportunity to peg this guy.
00:23:49
Speaker
It's such a it's such a missed opportunity like truly truly truly I it's something on my list. I've always wanted to do it It was offered and I was just too scared. I just got scared Can I ask you what you were scared about?
00:24:05
Speaker
I think at the time the relationship with this person was very much I was more invested into this person than they were in me. And I truly was like, if I do this thing with him, it's going to be forever associated with him.
00:24:22
Speaker
And I knew it wasn't gonna work out, so I was like, I didn't wanna think about him forever as doing the one thing I wanted to do. Does that make sense? So, I mean, going back to my Harry Potter analogy, if you want to see him as Harry Potter, you're not gonna see him as anything else other than Harry Potter. Yeah. And this term is the Harry Potter. Peking is my Harry Potter. Yeah, exactly. Peking is my Harry Potter. Like, you can't see him differently past the pegging. No, I'd always associate him with that person.
00:24:50
Speaker
Which, looking back, silly, because we did a bunch of other stuff that I only associated with him, and it's fine. And it's actually very funny, and it's a nice thing to think about. So I really should have. But also, the thing he pulled out, it looked like it was huge. This thing was huge. I'm like, how is that going to go inside of me? And my joke was, I'm like, if you're going to put that, if you think you're going to put that in me, you better know that I'm putting that in you. And there was a response like, yeah, that's fine. I'm down for that.
00:25:18
Speaker
And I was like, huh, what? Oh, OK. And I got just so I was like, I'm getting everything I've ever wanted. What do I do? My brain exploded. So wow. Yeah, I know.
00:25:30
Speaker
You cocked blocked yourself. Myself. It's such a bummer. But, you know, maybe there's be other opportunities in the future.
Extreme Acts and Valentine's Day Plans
00:25:38
Speaker
Yeah. I am always like thrown off and scared for when I see like pictures or videos of people where their whole is a, is a, is a gape from like something, you know, recently going through it and, um,
00:25:56
Speaker
It looks just so medically mortifying in a way. And I'm really trying to be like, find whatever hotness I can find in it, but I don't think it's for me.
00:26:07
Speaker
But like, yeah, like why do you need it to be? Why do you need to find the hotness in it for you? Yeah, I guess I'm just trying to be supportive and like have some sort of empathy, I guess, for people who are into that. Oh, I'm having empathy. All I have is empathy because I'm going that person's insides are on their outsides. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That. Yeah.
00:26:27
Speaker
I'm if anything I am that I'm going oh my god I am that asshole like I go or whatever I'm like oh my god that could be me and me and you're connected through this like I'm like oh my god like I've seen a video where I was like yeah I can't describe it with the okay picture this it's a gif so it's looping looping looping looping looping
00:26:46
Speaker
a speedboat, a girl on all fours, and some dude wearing a glove just punching into this woman's asshole. Punching into a going elbow deep into this person. I don't understand how it's not coming out of her mouth at a certain point. And that's been on a loop in my head.
00:27:02
Speaker
I don't know if I've seen that one but I have seen I have seen this punching situation and yeah I just don't know how they live I don't know how they live through it I couldn't imagine like if other things could happen to us that can kill us that are somewhat more minute
00:27:19
Speaker
People die from paper cuts. Well, I think of just, yeah, I guess anything, any other thing that could go in us that would fuck us up. I can't believe that people can get fisted into through up until their elbow and live to tell the tale. Go to work the next day and know that someone else's arm took a journey across all of their organs.
00:27:44
Speaker
I truly believe those people deserve to, they deserve to run the world. I feel like if you're able to take that much inside of you like that, you deserve a prize. I am impressed. I can't necessarily say I can relate to that as I don't think I can handle that. I can barely handle anything. I'm like a little baby. If you're able to do that, that's incredible. That means you've been training. Because you don't just go in there like that. That takes skill and years of experience.
00:28:13
Speaker
Yeah. Wow. And chutzpah. Lots of chutzpah. That's right. Chutzpah, baby. The kind of chutzpah that will make Borat do a weird thing in his movie about it. Yeah, exactly. I'm surprised he didn't get fisted in this movie. That's up his alley. Well, since it is February and it is, in fact, Valentine's Day and we were already kind of touching on the subject. You got any Valentine's Day plans?
00:28:36
Speaker
Well, I realized that I will be on a cruise during Valentine's Day. A cruise? Yes, yes. Wait, tell me more. I didn't know you were going on a cruise. I didn't know you didn't invite me to go on a cruise on Valentine's Day. I can't believe you're telling me about this cruise on the podcast. Yes, so I'm going on a cruise with Heidi, with Trev.
00:29:00
Speaker
Yeah, and then I realized when I looked at the dates, I was like, oh, I'm smack dab in the waters during Valentine's Day. That'll be cute. That'll be fun. So my mom and and my sister-in-law wanted to go on this cruise and they looked up the itinerary and it's like one of those cruises where like everything's happening at night and it's like obviously like super party party. A gay cruise. Yes, a gay cruise. Okay, could have said that.
00:29:25
Speaker
nighttime, party party, circuit party. It's gay, we get it. Yeah, yeah. So I wasn't really connecting those dots that would be a gay cruise. You know, when I see a drag cruise, my brain goes like, Disney. Okay, well.
00:29:41
Speaker
I honestly wish you kept this up and had your mom and your sister lock up on this. This would have been great. Yeah, for some reason I thought it was going to be like, I don't know why I thought it would be family friendly and why it would be, you know, just kind of more focused on entertainment. So yeah, I'm glad they're not going. But yeah, my mom called me up and was like, Darian, did you see that parties start at like midnight or three o'clock in the morning and then what? No one's going to be up like, you know, in the brunch hour?
00:30:11
Speaker
which I'm sure there will be because, you know, you just stay up. Yeah, they just stay up. I was going to say and other things, but we won't disclose how the gays keep it going. But.
00:30:28
Speaker
But I want to know, how do the gays keep it going? That's 3am. How can you do it? How? The mental fortitude. You'll be fine. Yeah. I know you will. You're a hard worker. That's what a lot of the tops in West Hollywood say. That you're a hard worker?
00:30:47
Speaker
Then I'll be fine. Good for them. Good for them and good for you. I love that. I'm so scared of that stuff. There was one time where a guy came to my house and I thought he was going to be a bottom because I, you know, profiled him as such, which was wrong of me because he was a raging top and I was scared for my life.
00:31:12
Speaker
What do you mean raging top? Like are we talking like the moment you close the door, the persona shifts? No, just as in like like like a power top, I guess, you know, like, oh, it's going to be rough and I'm only in it for myself. That OK. Well, and I was like, oh, no, no, no. That's called a power top where I call that men.
00:31:41
Speaker
Exactly. It's the exact opposite, obviously, for a power bottom who is just taken it by the reins. I'm always interested in a power bottom. That's my favorite.
00:31:52
Speaker
I have not featured myself in either of the powers. Neither been a power top or a power bottom. I can be aggressive, but only for so far. I can be submissive, but only for so far. It's like, don't choke me. Don't choke me. Don't choke me. That's scary. I'm scared. Don't choke me. You're going to choke me. Oh, my God. Where are you choking me? That's where I breathe.
00:32:25
Speaker
That's how I breathe. It's the sweetest way to explain this to someone not to joke you. That's how I breathe. That's how I breathe. You want me to stay breathing, right? Yeah. Well, you know, I wouldn't be joking if I wanted you to stay breathing. Yeah, for sure. I don't want to, I never want to classify myself, which is like crazy, but I'm like, I'm just down for whatever is going to make this a good experience for everybody. I have my hard limits that I like, obviously won't do. I don't want you to draw blood.
00:32:54
Speaker
No, thanks. I don't want you to put like knives in me. That's another thing. Like, as long as like a little pain is okay, a little like role play is okay. You know, a little degradation is okay. I want nothing to do with shit.
00:33:11
Speaker
I want nothing to do with shit. Shit and piss. I'm I'm out. Yeah, that's totally on board there. I'm very vanilla. I've come to realize that. And I yeah, well, I was and I said earlier how love is the scent of leather for me, but I didn't even mean it. But in the terms of leather, like that's what I thought of play because I don't even get really into that.
00:33:37
Speaker
I just feel like all the the straps and gadgets on on you keeps me away from like the skin touch and like that kind of natural moment. I love it. I love people wearing leather like I love.
Exploration of Kinks and Preferences
00:33:53
Speaker
I love it. I love all the little metal embellishments. I love all the ties of it. I love all the people that do the shibaru, all the rope stuff. I think that looks so cool. I think it's such a surf. I don't know what... When you see a man or a woman or a non-binary person just wearing this kind of get up, it's such a power thing. It's really hot.
00:34:20
Speaker
Speaking of which, I have your flogger. Do not forget to take it before you leave my house. Thank you. I cannot believe Dasha's like at my drag show and I'm like, I don't have my flogger. I need to find my flogger. And she's like, I have it. Yeah, that's so I'm glad you had it because I was like, damn, did I freaking lose this thing for a party? And it did. It was it was welcome. It did what it needed to do. It did what it needed to do. Great. Do I need to wash it?
00:34:47
Speaker
No. Okay. No, you're fine. Do not let me borrow it if you wanted to not be covered in fluid. It's true. Absolutely. Now I wanted to make my friends a birthday party, which was really fun. Nice. I've never used a flogger. I have used a cattle prod.
00:35:06
Speaker
No. Yes. Get out. And it was fun. I had it done to me and it was fun and I did to someone else and it was fun too. Oh my god, do you have a scar? No, no, no, no. It's totally fine. It's not like these things are not like branding you or anything. It's just a little electroshock like current that like kind of like
00:35:27
Speaker
Oh, no, it doesn't hurt. It just kind of like numbs it a little bit. It's just it's like it's like being paddled or whatever. It's just it's in that vein. It's really not that serious. It really isn't.
00:35:38
Speaker
OK, I'm not a big like I don't I barely get massages because I'm like, if you do it too hard, I'm like, yeah, my little baby like I don't. But you're getting electrocuted. You're like, tase me, daddy, tase me. Yeah, because, you know, that's a different thing. Exactly. It's not for my for my relaxation. Like I don't find it relaxing to cattle prod me. Like I'm getting a massage to relax. Right. Right. Yeah. Should we take a break? Yeah, we could take a break. OK, let's let's let's take a break.
00:36:13
Speaker
Well, since we talked all of that, I think it's obviously time for a segment that everybody has been clamoring for.
Valentine's Day and Relationships
00:36:21
Speaker
Called Yes or No.
00:36:30
Speaker
Live studio audience is freaking out. Oh my god, everyone's on their feet and jerking off. Oh my god, let us get through this. Oh my god, the splash zone is no longer safe. Absolutely. Whole place is a splash zone. Okay, continue. Chocolates that come in a heart-shaped tin on Valentine's Day, like those chocolates.
00:36:52
Speaker
It's a no for me, dog. And here's the reason, because the inside of them are always like jellies and, you know, it's never like a nice nougat with a nut. It's always like a jelly and I'm not really into that. Yeah. If there's one, there'll be like one decent chocolate maybe. Yeah. And then, yeah, it's like the marshmallow filling or the jelly filling cherry filling, which I don't care for.
00:37:17
Speaker
I'd rather be like, take a bunch of good chocolates, put it in a heart shape on top of a plate, bring me that. I'd rather take that. Yeah, like, if someone is listening and they're a secret admirer. Oh, right, yeah, okay. Yeah, why are you listening? In your Valentine's Day gift, what are you getting that you're excited about? What are you opening up? What are you seeing? I just want time spent. I don't really want a thing. I just want to spend some time.
00:37:43
Speaker
okay yeah and then that'll get old when it's your fifth birthday and sixth Hanukkah where this man gives you nothing and says well at least I eat you out and then I go yeah I want to I want to I want a diamond Tiffany's bracelet do you know your ring size yes I have like a loop with like a hundred ring loops on it that you could like basically take anybody's ring size
00:38:08
Speaker
Oh, bitch. I need to try that out. I have it right here. Grab your flogger. Grab my ring chain. We'll find out what your ring size is. Yes. Because I think I'm like a 9 or a 10. But I want to get my thumb size and my index finger size. I think my ring finger is like a 8 or a 7 and a half. That's very average. Yeah. I'm average. Hey, admirer who's listening. My ring size is 7 and a half, 8. I have a question for you.
00:38:38
Speaker
Doppelbangers. Okay. I'm trying to deduce what this is and I'm going to assume it's someone who looks like someone else and they're also fuckable.
00:38:53
Speaker
It's like when a couple when there's a couple and they look like each other. Oh, yeah. It's like twin sets. I mean, it's like, yeah. Yeah. Not really a fan. I know that's surprising because Heidi and I look exactly alike. Every time I look at the two of you, I'm like, it's like looking in a mirror. Yeah. I know that that can be appealing and definitely feeds into like the.
00:39:20
Speaker
like gays being into themselves and attracted to them themselves type of storyline. But yeah, no, I it doesn't do it for me. How about you?
00:39:33
Speaker
I've had, you know, friends who have dated people that looked a lot like them. And it's fine. It's just if we're hanging out and I'm looking at the back of your head and I can't tell if it's you or your partner, it makes it awkward for me to then ask you for money. So it's almost like, yeah, I would just really like it if you wore a name tag or something.
00:39:55
Speaker
It's crazy. Some people are really into it. I know there's, I think, a show or something out about two couples who are like twins, twin couples who are together, which is definitely grounds for fishy stuff happening. Oh, it's happening. Also too, just like, I have seen, I've twisted my arm. Force me, force me to watch it. Force me. It just happened.
00:40:19
Speaker
of like twinny type things and like I mean if like the guy is hot and like obviously the twin brother is hot it's like okay well they're hot but I yeah I can't really separate the fact that I'm like oh my god but they look like brothers
00:40:36
Speaker
Yeah, I am very attracted to people that look exactly the opposite of what I look like. So it does not really appeal to me to find people. Like if I find like a bookish, pale, sarcastic, Eastern European person, it's not going to do it for me, baby.
00:40:56
Speaker
It's not going to do it for me. That's just me. I cannot believe you were describing yourself as bookish pale. I'm wearing glasses and again, cargo shorts. Okay, I got one. I got a good one. Adult Disney videos.
00:41:13
Speaker
Like them going to Disneyland and like videotaping their whole day? No, but actually, I mean, that could be a whole other topic that we could get into. But I'm thinking of like the adult videos that are Disney themed. Triple X is what you're talking about. I was like, oh, you mean the guy that like buys pins at Disney World and I watch him all the time? I know you. I mean, we could make that a yes or no because significant yes or no. I've never seen them.
00:41:38
Speaker
So I will say yes just because I want to see one. Are you talking like one of them's like the beast and the other one's like the candlestick, whatever the fuck? I'd see that. But yeah, I mean, I'm referring to one that comes to mind that is Tarzan with Milo from Atlantis.
00:42:00
Speaker
I would watch that. I'm all about it. Never imagined it in a million years. And hey, I didn't have to because there it is. Listen, if I watch hentai porn, which I have, that's just another version of that. So whatever. Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. So that's a yes for me. OK. OK.
Social Habits and Beauty Discussions
00:42:21
Speaker
I'm clapping when the plane lands. Do people still do that? Is there a reason for it?
00:42:30
Speaker
Yeah, because you're in the fucking sky in a box and you landed that plane after being in the sky for hours and not dying. Yeah, that's why they clap. To me, it seems like something is it's like so eighties. It's like, OK, we're not like the fifth flight that has ever happened. So you're like, if you go to the moon and they've been going to the moon for, you know, years and years and years and years and years, you're like not going to clap when you land on the moon.
00:42:58
Speaker
I'll clap for myself and my teammates. Are you going to the movies and clapping at the end of the movies, even though there's nobody there? I am. I'm that person. I don't, not for all of them, but the ones that make me cry, I do.
00:43:10
Speaker
If I will clap if other people clap because, you know, again. You're a joiner, Katie. You're a joiner. Yes. Well, I'm a people pleaser. I also am trying to, you know, conform, but I'm not. There's no reason to clap. I'm not clapping for people doing their job. Oh, my God. Taking a stance. I love it.
00:43:31
Speaker
I'm going to make you clap the moment we take a flight together. I'm making you clap first. I'm going to clap when we take off. I'm going to make you clap that ass when you get up in the sky. Maybe like if it's international, it's a rough flight. That's what I'm saying. Like I can understand we clap because, you know, yeah, we just went over really tough turbulence and it, you know, seemed sketchy at times. And then you get to the end and you're like, yay, we celebratory clap.
00:43:59
Speaker
But if I just took a two hour flight going from, you know, Texas to Florida or something, no one's clapping. No one's clapping. You going into Florida. No one's clapping for that. I'm clapping from Vegas to LA because I escaped Vegas. Yeah. Yeah. After the, you know, five hour drive getting back from Vegas, I'll clap for that. Absolutely. All right. Botox.
00:44:24
Speaker
Ooh, that's okay. Yes, I'm a yes for it. Maybe not for me, but it's a yes because it makes you stop sweating. You're doing your armpits, makes you stop sweating. And honestly, like, fuck it. If it's something you need, I understand. And I have friends who are like injectionists and stuff. So it's like, there's many different reasons why people get it and stuff.
00:44:49
Speaker
I'm so terrified of like half my face freezing, you know what I mean? Or like them hitting a nerve and then like I have a droopy lip or so shit. I don't know. So like, I'm so scared that I'm like, I can't, I can't do it.
00:45:03
Speaker
I see. I never thought of that, that you would end up looking like you have Bell's palsy or something. Yeah, there's like something where if you get it into like a specific area, you could potentially. That is scary. Yeah, I mean, I'm supportive of it, of people getting it when they need. The main reason I was thinking about it was because of the sweating, because I was sweating so much at the show and one of the other queens was like, you know, you can get some Botox.
00:45:32
Speaker
Yeah, but it's not gonna do it on your face. Yeah, but they were saying, you know, if I go kind of around the forehead where those sweat glands are, at least it won't be where that's dripping onto my brows and like... Is that true? That that's where the sweat glands are? No, that that works.
00:45:52
Speaker
Well, I know queens do it like queens with money. You know, that's like one of the first things they kind of do is start getting Botox, yes, for the wrinkles, but also for sweating, like to pause all of that up here, especially like I want to I don't want to put people's names out there, but I'm pretty sure like plenty of of the gals do it. That's so wild. I never knew that. I always I'm like, get air conditioning. Like, I don't know what to say.
00:46:18
Speaker
Well, it's like, and again, I might be speaking out of turn, but some of the girls who are on hormones, on T, they're also talking about how it helps with the sweating and some girls I feel like will take some even just to counteract that. That's so interesting. I learn something new every fucking day.
00:46:44
Speaker
Yeah, me too. Then it's like, you need it every six months. You got to be routine. It's like whatever $10 a unit or $10 a unit. Why are we not getting it tomorrow? $10 a unit. I know. Well, I don't know the quality for $10, but I think I think also too, it's like, yeah, it's $10 a unit. But like, then they're like, Oh, your face needs 20 units.
00:47:06
Speaker
That's right. This is such a a side, side, side bar. But one of the funniest moments from your comedy show was when Danielle was doing her said she goes, she's talking about her parents, which I could listen to 10 minutes of her talking about her parents, whether it's real or fake. It's all right. Because it cracked me up when she goes,
00:47:32
Speaker
And you'll never, never, never make it a comedy. You'll never, never, never, never, never. I laughed then and I have thought about that just that little sound bite so often. I did it yesterday in the car going to Texas Roadhouse. I was like, never, never, never, never, never, never.
00:47:49
Speaker
Check out Stanley Tushy on Instagram. That's my girl Daniel Schwartzman. Check out her comedy. She does a great set about being a Russian-American stand-up comic with her parents potentially not supporting her career. Yes, and if that doesn't catch you and you're looking for a house, then hit her up because she can help us. On Danielle Sells. Exactly. Sells Danielle. Sorry, Sells Danielle. Danielle Sells. It's selling Danielle. That's what it is. It's like selling Sunset, but it's selling Danielle. Oh, word.
00:48:18
Speaker
Yeah. Making your birthday like a week or a month-long affair?
Celebrations and Culinary Preferences
00:48:23
Speaker
No. Maybe when I was a kid. But when I see people do that, when it's like their birthday month, please. Kathy, 38. Just be happy you had the birthday. I am happy I had the birthday, but I really wanted one to be a week long. How else am I going to show you where all my cats and friends are?
00:48:43
Speaker
Yeah, unless you're doing something that's a week-long event, then your birthday's not a week. Yeah. You know? And it's just like, it's a day. Enjoy the day. Take the day. If it's a week, it's a big commitment.
00:48:55
Speaker
Yeah, for everyone involved and no one wants to hear about it. Yeah. OK, never mind. So I guess please don't check your email about my month long birthday. Yeah, I definitely did not want to go to a Bermuda. I was going to say exactly when when it's like, hi, can you come to my birthday? I'm having it in Bermuda. Oh, don't worry. It's just two K and that's not all included.
00:49:25
Speaker
Also, screw you. No wedding. No wedding is good enough for you to have me fly. Really? If I have to go somewhere and you're not paying me, if you're telling me I'm getting married and I want you to be there but I'm having it in Nicaragua,
00:49:51
Speaker
I'd be like, where's that? A girl will then don't check your email. But yeah, no, I'm not going. I'm so sorry. I'll I'll I'll give you a candle when you guys get back.
00:50:06
Speaker
It depends on where I'm at for financially, but like most of the time I can't take that time off work, you know, to fly for a weekend or something. But I will fly like almost anywhere in the United States for people's weddings. Like, and some of the best ones I've had to like fly somewhere for sure. But I don't think I could do like, you know, two weeks in Italy. Because I just I can't afford that. Exactly. Take your bougie privileged ass to Italy for the two weeks and forget about me.
00:50:36
Speaker
I was going to be like, you might not want to be my friend if the expectation is that I'm going to be able to afford these things because I'm living a different artistic life where I am struggling to buy groceries, baby. Yeah. I just think the audacity, like pay for it. I know. Like they can pay for it if they want to have that type of wedding experience. It's a freaking wedding.
00:50:59
Speaker
But then you just, it's like, you can have that, but you cannot be upset if people don't call. Exactly. Oh, a hundred percent. That's the, that's the trade off. That's the trade off. Completely. I have one more. Okay. Pasta salad. Hell yes. Are you joking? Hell yes.
00:51:13
Speaker
What pasta salad are you envisioning in your mind right now? I don't give a fuck, it's the word pasta in it. It's pasta, toss her out with some other stuff, which I don't care about. I mean, okay, do I think Italian dressing and cold pasta is necessarily my favorite thing in the world? No, but compared to a salad that has no pasta in it,
00:51:34
Speaker
I like the other one better. I don't know what to tell you. I like pasta salad. I think it's a nice thing to bring to like a cookout. I think it's like a nice little, like an antipasta. I think it's good. I like it. I do too. I kind of forgot about it for a little bit, pasta salads in general.
00:51:51
Speaker
And then, yeah, like last summer, I started making them for myself. It's great. I love cucumber. I love the olives. I love, you know, even some peppercinis, the feta, whatever it is that you're putting in it.
00:52:04
Speaker
Well, guess what? Next time I come over to your house, I'm bringing you some pasta salad. Oh my God. I'm going to bring you some delicious pasta salad. We're going to really enjoy ourselves. I will say though, sometimes the pasta salads that are pre made at the deli at like a Ralph's or whatever is a little too much. Like I think they're putting a little too much oil. And so you almost get this like film on your mouth from whatever that's, that's going on in there.
00:52:29
Speaker
Okay, so I will make you the salad from scratch. I'm going to make the pasta from scratch. I'm going to cook the pasta. I'm going to grow the vegetables and the olives, and then I will put them together into the salad, but I will make one from scratch. I might not make all that, but I can make it from scratch for sure.
00:52:45
Speaker
I get sushi at like grocery stores. I'm that bitch. Yeah, because you because you're like, I'm going to walk in. I'm going to look at the first thing I see, which is this sushi to the left. And then you're like, OK, go to my Ralph's girl. It's all the same Ralph's. No, no, there's the layouts are different. I've been to many.
00:53:04
Speaker
I don't know. There's something where I feel like every time I go into Ralph's that sushi guy is right there to the left and he is like this is this is what you've got today. And as long as you go before like six a.m. It's good. Six p.m.
00:53:21
Speaker
Okay, because I'm like, like, you know, sometimes you're at the grocery store late, it's like eight o'clock, and you see like, two, you know, crazy mockeys left in the section, you don't want to touch those. All right, well, now that we discovered all this about each other, I think this is the perfect time to tell our wonderful listeners to
