Wait, let's go closer. Let's see. Is your lipstick on? How's the lipstick? Yeah, the lips look good. Okay. I got worried because as I was waiting for you, my lips had touched many things. Say more.
00:01:55
Speaker
And I was worried that some of the lipstick had been gone and I needed to re-reply, re-reply, re-reply, I had to re-reply to Anastasia to be like, can I have some more lipstick? Please girl, hit me up! Please, this coral 5502, I don't know. It doesn't have like a, does it have a sexy name? Like you know how, uh, NARS has like all these little sexy names?

You could take that purely. to Your own mouth is so sweet that when it transfuses into the tea as it yeah enters your mouth, yeah it's already perfect. Well, before I got here, I rolled my face in some confectionary sugar. I was just like, like instead of a jade roller, I was using like a bag of sugar. You say that as in that doesn't happen every day. No, I just wanted to give you a visual. I know, you know, but like, they don't know that that's what I do. That that's my, yeah. They need to know. I sugar. That's what I call it. I sugar myself. Some people ah do a double exfoliation. You use confectionery sugar. And I roll around in it.
Mango and Snack Obsessions
00:03:29
Speaker
and You know, okay, so I cannot wait to get to our favorite game later. Oh, okay. You can think it just kind of
00:03:38
Speaker
did a little tease to a couple of them. I didn't even realize it just came out of nowhere. We didn't plan it, but we knew it was going to work. I'm very excited as well because he brought some goodies. I sure did. I sure did. You don't understand. I spend like, I feel my vision's getting worse because I spend every night just with my phone up against my face in the dark under a blanket hours at a time. And the only good thing that's come out of it is that I watch a bunch of viral videos. And it got me, gal, because there's that viral ice cream that went, you know, all over the internet a couple of months ago. And you couldn't get it anywhere in Los Angeles. What's the name of the particular shit? I don't remember. But it's like the mango. It's it's um they don't even say it's like mango. It's like viral mango ice cream. That's like what it is. It's like protego, promiscuous, precious, love porta cola.
00:04:35
Speaker
Prosciutto is one of the things. Now where did you find it? Yeah, it's Prosciutto for sure. Yeah, there's a delivery service from an Asian supermarket. It's called Whee! Exclamation Point. And they have like an offshoot delivery service. And I bought it on there and they brought it. And I got, I'm not joking, I got five boxes of it. Because I'm like, what am I going to do? I just got one. Got five boxes of it. What happens if you love it? What happens if I want it all the time? It's my new favorite thing. It's viral. People can't stop eating it. Now knowing that there's ah that viral mango ice cream, have you seen the mango gummies that you look peel open?
00:05:11
Speaker
No. Okay so like I do get those TikToks but I also get the ones where it's like more kind of like gummy and candy based and it's like and sometimes it's street food sometimes it's like convenience store food which is one of the reasons I would go to Japan simply to just like go into convenience stores and stay on the streets and get all of the weird fun things. I want to live inside your head.
00:05:38
Speaker
We probably live inside of there. Seems like the best place in the world. um Really? I've thought about living inside your head, but yeah I don't know if I'd survive. You won't. It's damp, dark. It's a dungeon. You don't want to be in it. work. That's sexy. Wait, so you would go to Japan for these candies, okay? Yeah, but so I was thinking about that mango. It became like a kind of a viral sensation. People are buying these mango gummies that you actually peel the, as if like, you know, the peel of a mango. And then that's like, I think a separate kind of gummy texture. Do they have other fruits like a tangerine or something?
00:06:14
Speaker
I don't know, but they're making so many things and there's so many fun for me. I don't even know what you call them, just earth snacks. I keep seeing videos of people like making fake food like for props for movies and stuff. And it looks like like they'll make a cabbage using like just water and like some kind of solution. and It touches the water. Yes. yeah And you crumble up. Like wax. They're taking like a wax and they're pouring it in the water to like make that like lettuce shape. And it's like half white, half green. so it's like all
00:06:48
Speaker
and so Yes. And you know my dumb ass would be like, what the? And take off a huge old bite of that. Yeah, you'd be sitting by crafty. This wasn't crafty. Oh. So, so, so, so. Guys, get the paramedics in. The PA ate some wax yeah cabbage again. Two pounds of wax. She wouldn't stop. She kept thinking it was going to become cabbage. Even when she knew. Yeah. She could taste it and she knew this ain't cabbage, but maybe, maybe I'm wrong. I don't like being wrong.
00:07:19
Speaker
You know what I mean? So I want to be right. Wait, would you put your mouth on that you got the lipstick off? You said you put her on a bunch of stuff. Oh, you know, just various drinks in the in the home. I feel like anytime I put her on a colored lipstick, they're just a stain on everything somewhere. Like my freaking face towels are always stained. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. I was going to say I so I always use this wrist to like the domino to clean my brushes as I'm like. doing different things on my face to like, you know, like to tease it. And I forget and then I'll be like, there's a little hint of it there, but yeah I like two episodes ago or whatever, I was in drag and I noticed I had like so much, much on my wrist, which is not cute. I think that you can make that into a thing where it's like, oh, you're swatching. You know how people swatches stuff. You could be like, this is my like makeup swatch of the day. yeah Even though it looks like wrist bruises, like someone
00:08:16
Speaker
So what? Took advantage. Took Took advantage of you.
Movie Influences and Cultural References
00:08:22
Speaker
Yeah. Not you. That is terrible. Took advantage. Oh. You know what I saw? I went to go see the Sinosphere and I saw whatever happened to baby Jane. Did you live? I had you not seen a book have not seen it before. I just about died. It's psycho stuff, and it's incredible. I mean, it was amazing. I loved it, but it was like me, 3,000 gay people, and just were screaming, and it was really fun. I didn't think it was gonna be that funny. I thought it was supposed to be like a thriller, but it was hilarious. Yeah, it's kind of like ridiculous. Yeah. It's ah it's very camp. Yeah. Jane Crawford can't Joan Jane. Jane Crawford. Jane Crawford. I knew that bitch would be here. Couldn't make it down those stairs.
00:09:10
Speaker
No matter how long the other girl was at the bank, she was just, I can't get down these stairs. Face first, can't do it. Yeah. Now, do you do do like the references make sense when now for like Drag Race, when they make all those? Absolutely. Now I don't have to be like, I totally know what this is. yeah I know what this is. I've seen it. Although on an episode of All Stars where they were doing like seven different movie references with the girls in those little acting scenes, I think I knew half of those movies. I think it's like age and it's also just like pop culture and you know, that stuff changes. It's like, I mean, we should know that because it's our history, but sometimes it's hard to keep up with everything. I don't know. Yeah. I'm like, when did I have to like three hours to watch a black and white horror film?
00:10:02
Speaker
Well, and that also reminds me of like when Asha on All Stars, I think it was the the episode she went home and she was like making making references like saying what like fusion of designers she was going with. And then the judges were just reading her down and I felt for her so hard because I was like, there's a part of me that that would be me. I would be like, oh, I was thinking this, but I had never like heard that person say that word out loud because of my inexperience in that realm. Same. I sometimes like when I make stuff, like I will reference the stuff I know. And oftentimes it's like very obscure and nobody knows and no one cares about and no one thinks it's valuable kind of stuff. So they're like, okay.
00:10:49
Speaker
Cool. You made a bowl out of a butt and you think it looks like this like weird Instagram thing that you liked? Okay. No, but this is great. Yeah. It's so good. I mean, hey, that's one of the reasons why we started this podcast. To tell people I'm on my bowl butt. Well, I knew we'd get there sometime. My bowl butt. Just to clarify, my bowl that's shaped like a butt, not that my butt is shaped like a bowl.
Bathroom Humor and Shared Spaces
00:11:16
Speaker
I wish my butt was shaped like a bowl. It's not, it's more like like a W, but like ah like a kind of like squished from the side W. Cute.
00:11:36
Speaker
Listen. Uh, switch to the side. From the side? Okay, from the side. So it's not like a nice like... That's what my butt looks like when I clench it. See mine looks like that just regular. And when I clench it, ooh. Yeah. Then it looks like a Z. Looks like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers back there. It's Morphin Time! wish your yeah That's me in the bathroom every morning. ah do do you Do you look at your butt before you jump in the shower? I don't have like a mirror that can do that. I feel like I've seen your mirror. Yeah, but i like to you know i don't I don't know. I don't think I have enough. like in you so For people that don't know about Dasha's living arrangements, there's a his and her bathroom. And then in the center is ah is a shower, but that's like a separate door, almost like a hotel.
00:12:29
Speaker
and You're making yourself so much nicer. Thank you. Keep going. Girl. Oh my god. He's in her bathroom. I'm just gonna let you down. Oh cool please. um And there is in that his in her bathroom is like the big mirror. So I'm thinking about that mirror. Like are you in there and you're like popping your booty up or whatever and you're like All right, let's see what we're looking at today. What's the arrangement? I used to do that. There was a time in my life where I used to do that, but it was mostly when I knew nobody was home because the bathroom where the mirror is located has two doors that you could enter it through, one from my room and one from my roommate's room. And there's like oftentimes where
00:13:14
Speaker
it's not like we're announcing to each other I'm going to the bathroom so it's like if I'm just standing there booty out all cheeked up looking at myself there's a great chance I was just gonna walk in on that so I tend to not spend that much time admiring myself when I know someone else is home yeah but if I'm alone it's another story well it's I guess nice and courteous to not like just lock all those doors yeah because if I lock it he can't use the bathroom Well, I'm thinking, you know, in most bathrooms, you can't get to any part of it without locking that door, that front door of the bathroom, you know, like, normally your sink is where the toilet and the shower and correct is. So it's not crazy out of the ordinary. Yes, it's like nicer because you can poop, pee, shower and still let people use the sink area. But sometimes
00:14:08
Speaker
We want to look at a bus. You're having a whole bathroom experience. And it is, I do call it my bathroom experience. Oh yeah. Every time I'm like, I'm about to have my bathroom experience. Every morning at 7.30, you're having a bathroom experience. Earlier. 6.30. 6.30 bathroom experience. Yes. At 6.30, my body is telling me, girl, you should go have a bathroom experience. And I'm like, Uh, let me see if I can weigh in like mustard, the energy for this such experience.
Morning Routines and Beverage Habits
00:14:41
Speaker
And then by the time it gets to like seven, seven 30, I'm like, Oh my God, I have to get to the, you know, the, the doors are opening, the show's starting in 30. We got to go. Let's do it. Otherwise we're going to have a backstage malfunction.
00:14:57
Speaker
We're going to have a backstage experience, honey. Honey, you don't want to know about my backstage experience. Oh my God. Call the paramedics. At that concert, I thought I was having a backstage experience. I thought I was going to have the VIP. I was like, shh. Absolutely. I thought that was going to happen. Are you a fiber girl? I am. I take fiber in the morning. little gummies. I do. I take fiber. I take vitamin D. I take biotin. I take multi vitamins. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And if I don't eat and I do that, I get nauseous on the kai ride to work. Yeah. Yeah. I remember I, at some younger age, high school, early college, I was thinking I could take vitamins and not have breakfast. And yeah, like that would suffice for my like, Oh, enrichment needs. Nope.
00:15:53
Speaker
nope nasha not even no it's like it was horror i was like driving to work and i'm like why i never get car sick when i'm driving you know i barely get car sick when i'm like a passenger i'm like this is so weird and i went oh it's because i popped like seven vitamins this morning and didn't eat anything because i was gonna eat at work i was like you well we've all been there sometimes we don't learn either because I still will get nauseous on the road to work because I decided to take something that morning that will, a celsius. Yeah. When I love those memes that are like, um, why don't I feel okay at work? And it's like, uh, your breakfast is like three espresso shot ice copies and like, uh, your, your vape or whatever. Why do I have to empty myself as soon as I cross the like bathroom threshold? Oh, it's cause I had,
00:16:46
Speaker
I don't know, a carafe of coffee this morning to get my little eye to open up? Yeah. Yeah. I tried a few times this week to switch to English breakfast tea. Do you like it? You know, I do. I remember I used to do that more frequently at some point in my life. Sometimes it doesn't give me the edge I'm looking for. You know, sometimes I want to feel like The world is collapsing around me. Sometimes I want to feel like I'm touching a live wire. Yeah, exactly. Why is my skeleton shaking? I know. I got put on this medication that I'm not joking. It's mess. I mean, it is mess. so And she was like, oh, if you take it, do not drink coffee. And I went, OK.
00:17:31
Speaker
I get it you went to med school. I get it you have a degree. I'm gonna have a cup of coffee as soon as I take it. And when I tell you I felt like my brain was coming out of my ears for four hours in the morning. Yeah. That's the edge I don't need anymore. Yeah. So I stopped drinking coffee. It's been two and a half months. Wow. Thank you. Two and a half months without coffee. Two and a half months without coffee. Do you feel clear? Do you feel? I feel tired e ease's and angry. yeah Oh yeah. My skin doesn't like it. Did you get headaches? No. See, I usually get headaches if I haven't had like a coffee. So you're that on coffee. Oh, honey. How many cups? Say it to the people. Six, seven a day. If I'm in my coffee group, sometimes six or seven a day. And I've been weaning it back. I've been pulling back. To five.
00:18:29
Speaker
Yeah. Um, no, like, like I'll have two or three and but i'll say well, like, okay. So that's the other thing is like, I'll have like two or three copies and then you know, either right before I'm about to leave work or when I'm driving home, whatever that time of day is, I open up a Celsius or something else. So now it's three copies in a Celsius or three copies in a soda. And then I'm like Aladdin and Jasmine. I'm both of them on the magic carpet, just going 50,000 miles an hour. Yeah. Am I the tiger? No, you're the bird.
00:19:06
Speaker
I'm Yago. You make me the bird. Is it cause I have a voice like Guilford Godfried, a piece of shit?

I thought I'd be on the street in a little piece of cardboard, kind of shimmy and shimmy in for a couple of dollars. okay i didn't think i was gonna be in a theater space don't come for me like that because i still to this day want to just go out and drag maybe i'll do it today maybe this is the look for it you want to busk as a drag queen

That's my dragcon. Absolutely. Question. They're doing a character. You're just going at yourself.
00:21:34
Speaker
ah you're You're telling me this ain't given character. No, I mean, it's giving a character, but what character? They're doing like someone famous. No, you know, they will come up to me and no, they will figure out who I am. They will make that assumption and then I'll just be like, yeah, you're right. So they'll be like, oh my God, Margaret Thatcher. And you're gonna be like, absolutely. They're gonna say bearded Liza Minnelli and I'm gonna be like spot on bucko. Okay. All right.
00:22:05
Speaker

We're going to address the struggle in the room. Absolutely. Bathroomics. And we'll be right back with more Dom and Dahmer. I felt that in my nuts. That hit my knuckles.
00:22:45
Speaker
do oh She is on one. She is on one now. I woke up this morning and I said to myself, I'm that bitch. And I said that to myself throughout the entire car ride here. I said, I'm that bitch. I'm that bitch. And I kept saying it. And I felt very good about myself. And I don't know what happened. You don't feel like that anymore? No, I do feel that. I just don't know. I don't know how this happened. I've never woken up and go, I'm that bitch. I'm like, I'm wearing no makeup. I'm wearing only acne. Because Charlie XCX has changed the game. Because as's brad's summer to bra so meet brats it's summer. war summer. We're bad.
00:23:29
Speaker
This is good. This is really good. The moment you wear a mustache, I'm like, perv central. I know. I feel like such a perv. Not you. I'm a perv. I'm hitting on you. You're perfect. You think I said you're going every time you have a mustache? You're a perv. What kind of friendship is this? But I do feel pervy in a mustache. I love like a mustache because you wear like 70s vibes, whatever. But then it immediately brings me to like, like gay, 70s, like pervert propaganda. And like, what was what was 70s gay perfect propaganda? Like, you know, they would have like videos where they would show like, um like guys, like, it would be like, ah what do you call those like a public service announcement? And it's like, gay guys with these mustache likes, standing like at a park, like watching kids like to abduct them or something, or like, you know, breathe
00:24:23
Speaker
for real yeah this is like real stuff that would come out and so it reminds me of that i do like the like the feel of feature facial hair when i like have someone's face on my face yeah i know it's weird like i know it's scratchy but i kind of like that catch cat scratch fever that's right That's what I call. That's what you call her. That's what I call her. You're like, I've got a case of cat scratch.
Facial Hair and Anniversary Celebrations
00:24:49
Speaker
And there's only one thing that could cure it. Riding that stash to fucking. Wow. um So that reminds me of your fabulous show that you put on.

Speaker
Um, it's always a fabulous time. Um, I feel like the energy in the room is very excited for, for Monday night. Yeah. We like, yeah it's like mostly our friends and friends of friends and friends and friends of friends. So it's like the vibes are always immaculate because everybody's kind of like, you know, it's it's supportive, but it's not just easy laughs, but it's like. People are kind and they're not going to talk through your set or like hackle you or whatever. And you know, it's like. I really like it. And I like setting the vibe by being the person that welcomes you in and weirds them out of it. It's my favorite thing to do. Yeah. Like comedy or whatever, at the good night, it's going to be August 5th at 7.30. There's going to be a photographer taking photos. We're going to have pizza being made outside that is going to be brought to you inside. The guy that makes it is literally the guy from the bear. He's very cool. Is there a potential moment to get more bagels?
00:26:49
Speaker
There's only bagels. That's what we call that. In the back where I stand, bags and bags of bagels brought you by Danielle's job. And it is worth it. You could freeze those suckers and have them for a whole month. So why don't you come down to the good night, get yourself a bagel that you could later make a pizza bagel out of and relive that middle school lunch hour that was definitely not traumatic.
School Memories and Laundromat Conflict
00:27:13
Speaker
Yeah. Did you have a lot of traumatic lunch hours? No, I fucking loved lunch. I mean I enjoyed lunch. ah Did you eat your veggies in the lunch plate? You know when you get like peas and carrots? I would get made fun of. That was like my try. Because you liked peas and carrots? Yeah. Kids made fun of you for liking vegetables?
00:27:34
Speaker
Yeah and in the cafeteria like especially like middle school even going into high school like if I was given peas and carrots and I ate them because I was like yeah I was raised to eat all my food and enjoy vegetables people would be like oh you're eating those. I'm like girl you're eating the the uh chicken patty sandwich that is all rubber Absolutely. They literally just like rubber like from classrooms and just chuck that in and blend it into the yeah whole thing. Eraser shavings. That's all that is, honey. Babe. No. Something you had mentioned, a not ah off-camera, um off Off-off Broadway. Yeah. about
00:28:17
Speaker
Well, actually you mentioned about getting upset and like what can kind of trigger you to turn off, turn on on somebody. Oh, yeah. But yeah, you know, yeah have you had more of those moments where like, or have you seen those moments where someone is going off on somebody, if you know what I mean? oh i know what you mean uh this is very embarrassing uh it's not embarrassing because i so i was in the right 100 i was in the right but i looking back i was like all right this didn't need to i don't need to be so um spiteful and holding grudges so thoroughly but i had um i like long story short the laundry at my building you can't really do sheets in it it's not big enough so it's like if you want to wash your sheets or towels it's like
00:29:05
Speaker
really, they don't dry, whatever. So I usually go to a laundromat to do that, but I do all my like little clothes in that thing. So I was going home and I was like, Oh shit, I want quarters to like do that. So why don't I stop by the laundromat right by my house, get some quarters, put my laundry in my little like laundromat in my like building, take my bigger stuff to the laundromat and do it there. And then everything could be done within like an hour and I could like have the rest of the night to relax. I step into that the place I've been going to for years in doing this. It's down the street. like I go there all the time. I put in the dollar. The quarters start coming out. I'm like, all right, I'm going to go to my car. This woman like ah appears out of nowhere.
00:29:54
Speaker
and start screaming at me. She is maybe like 4'11". She is screaming at me going, this is not a bank. You can't come here and do this. Like you can't just take quarters and leave. And I'm like, I am, I swear to God, like I'm about to come back and do laundry here. You know, I just needed to like put my smaller things and like, I'm just, I will be back. Like, oh my God, I don't believe you. Where are your clothes? Where are they? I'm like, And I'm like, i I don't know why I entertain this, but I went, you could go into my car and see I have laundry supplies. And I did have laundry supplies to like do the laundry. I just needed to do one load at my house and come back with the bigger stuff. But trying to explain that to her, she was not listening. She kept yelling. She was saying I was disrespectful, like really screaming at me. So I was like, and I have like my quarters in this like little bag that I brought.
00:30:51
Speaker
And I'm like, okay, I cannot have this person screaming at people are looking at me. Right? So I'm like, you know what? I'm like, I get very calm. But I'm like, here's my bag of quarters. If you're making such a big deal out of it, I'm gonna come back with my clothes so you could relax. This takes her aback. She starts She goes, no. And I'm like, what do you mean no? She goes, I'm not going to be responsible for this. And I'm like, okay, so how how do we exit this situation now? Because you won't accept this. You won't accept that. You're just yelling. So I'm like, I don't know how to resolve it. So I'm like, I'm going to be back. She goes, yeah, you're going to be back. Uh-huh. Yeah, I bet you're going to be back. You're just going to go home. And I'm like, I come here all the time.
00:31:36
Speaker
what so anyway i go home i'm in a state of like anger i'm like angrily putting all my clothes and and like my bedding that i was gonna watch like into the bag i like my roommate's like are you okay i'm like in a state of like i'm about to show her like i'm about to show her i'm gonna do my laundry. Grabbing your panties and everything. You literally had your panties in a bunch. Truly had my panties in a bunch in my hand. she's gonna to throw it oh I'm gonna show her my panties. yeah i like Like literally it's down the block. It took me five minutes to do this. I come back with my laundry and she's just like standing like looking at me you know and I'm like when I tell you I like
00:32:18
Speaker
Shove everything in the thing and I'm staring at her as I'm putting quarters into the fucking machine. and I'm like, yeah, huh bitch You didn't think I was gonna come back bitch like literally like I see her talking to the manager pointing at me and talking about me so because she thinks that I'm about to like Have a whole scene or whatever tried to explain herself to him before I get to it I guess I'm like, I'm not gonna talk to her manager. This is like I don't give it's between me and her I don't give a fuck, you know So I'm like, I sit down by the exit door, hoping she'll come and talk to me. Cause I'm like, I want to have this conversation now. Cause now I'm mad. Now I've proven that I'm back. Now we're going to have a conversation. So she is clocking out for her end of the day. And I'm like, if you think you're going to leave before we have this conversation, you do not know me. I am angry. I hold a grudge and I'm a god bitch right now. I have, I'm like, when I'm indignant, when someone like hurts me, I get very like,
00:33:13
Speaker
Yeah, moralistic in a gross way. I don't like it, but it's true. So I did. I was like, I really didn't appreciate the way you yelled at me. Like I was not loud. I did not scream at you. I was not being disrespectful and and you would not listen to me. And she goes, well, I really don't, she was like, I really don't care because people do that all the time. They, she starts going, they park here and they don't care. They don't use the machine. And I'm like, I understand you had a hard day. I understand this was a bad day, but like, you did not have to scream at me in front of everyone when I came back here. And she, uh, called me just respectful a couple more times, said a couple of other things to me and I went, okay, so it's clear you're not going to apologize. You might as well just go home.
00:33:57
Speaker
And she just left. And I went, OK. And I told her, I was like, I will not be coming back here again. And she goes, OK, whatever. And I'm like, no, I mean it. And she doesn't care. That's not something that she cares about. But to me, I'm like, I've never been back. Every time I drive by there, I go like this. It feels real good. Never will use it ever again. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Wow. i Do you know of how hostile it gets about quarter machines at a laundromat? I'm like, then get a credit card reader. Like, I wouldn't need to do this if you, like, had a credit card reader. yeah Like, then that solves your problem. If you're so precious about your fucking quarters, then make it so people could use, like, their cards and then you don't have to give people quarters and you're done. Yeah. Or like, you know, whatever. It just to me... And a lot of people do. I mean... Yeah.
00:34:53
Speaker
I myself have gone into the the laundromat that was over by Witset and grabbed quarters just to do laundry in my own building. Yeah, because banks close at five. You don't get out of work past that. They're not open on the weekends. You can't get fucking quarters anywhere. And to be honest, I have Bank of America There is no Bank of America that is nice, easy to deal with, do what you want. It is always a nightmare. It's a project. The one that was by that house, people would be lined up. No one would ever get helped. No. yeah like I don't even step foot in a Bank of America unless I have to.
00:35:36
Speaker
So, and I've tried getting quarters out of Ralph's. them out of seven 11 wall grades. They do not give you quarters. They don't want to do that. So your only option is like these laundromats, which by the way, I wasn't just taking it and using it in my house. I was doing my sheets there at this place. Like, yeah, maybe I put in a 20 and I use like $2 of it to do it on my own, but I also do loads of laundry there. Yeah. So it's like, I'm not not giving you my business. So, but I understand. And then I was like talking to my roommate and he goes, Oh, you should just go to the arcade. I'm like, what? He goes, that's what I do. I go to the arcade and I get quarters there. And I'm like, what you know, brain explosion.
00:36:21
Speaker
With my luck, though, I would go to an arcade, put in a Bat 20, and then get like literal tokens. Oh, with the hole in it? Yeah, you're right. With a little dorky animal, like, it's Ryan's family amusement. That's right. You got Chuck E. Cheese coins or whatever. Great. What am I going to do with this? With that mustache and the Chuck E. Cheese? Woof. Yeah. In and out. You're on a list, sweets. Yeah, I know. But that, I mean, I felt like horrible because I was like, this doesn't mean anything. Like I understand that this person has a harder job than me. Probably people are awful at this place, probably come and don't, but I'm like, I, it was like the moment I stepped in, I was being screamed at by someone one I didn't know. And I was like, I am going to do my laundry here.
00:37:15
Speaker
I just need to stop by at my house to get my laundry. You had your own system that she was unaware of and wanted to go off because she's been burned too many times. I know. And I and i was like, man, i I was like, I bet I know what I look like from from from her perspective. I'm like just some like piece of shit coming in here and like acting like I own them. and i was like kept running the situation back and thinking like, was I disrespectful? Did I give her an attitude? I didn't scream. I didn't raise my voice. I even sat down because I knew that I was so much bigger than her. I like sat down to have the conversation because I was like, I don't want her to feel like I'm trying to intimidate her or like threaten her. I want to just be like, you really like hurt my feelings by screaming at me. And I like, can we have this conversation? She was like, you're disrespectful and you're horrible. And I'm like, okay, well,
00:38:11
Speaker
If that's how you feel, I can't change your mind at that point. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're the, I guess, bigger person all around with what, um, all around with, uh, how you handle that. I feel like we should probably take a break and come back with our favorite. How are we going to go into this break?
00:38:34
Speaker
What's that song from Harry Potter that they sing? No, this is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Halloween. This is Um, and we are back.
Games, Food Experiences, and Clowning
00:39:05
Speaker
We're back, baby. With more Dom and Dom. Are we about to play Halloween. our favorite, favorite, favorite game? The best game ever invented. The best game. You know it. You love it. It's called Yes or No. I went British. I went Old British. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes the British comes out.
00:39:25
Speaker
Oh, my little... My body's being colonnaded. My little microphone topper went away. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. I'll find that later. Your nub. Where is it? Wait. My nubs? Do you see it? Is it on? It's literally in my closet. It was... Oh, wow. Your pussy just ate that up. It's hung. Okay. All right. Let's start with you, babes. Yeah, we're going to start with me. I just signed it. Um, bear food. Fair food. Fair food. Like when you go to a fair, a county fair? I've only been to one. Really? Yeah. I went with my friend Lucy, and I had a corn dog, and it blew my goddamn fucking brain open. I um i actually almost wrote corn dogs, funny enough, as like a separate one. But do you like corn dogs normally? That was your first time. Well, when I eat meat, yes. um And it was the first time and I was i was like in high school. or
00:40:20
Speaker
yeah like It's really good. What about you? You don't like corn. I do like corn dogs. yeah i um you know I'm happy but with hot dogs and things wrapped around them. That's something about me. Something about you that you want to share with people. Do you like other kind of fair foods? I had it as a kid, I don't know if that was like a Massachusetts thing, but there was like the Barnstable fair and there was the other fairs ones up in like Western mass too. And I would get like, you know, the assortment, whether it was like a fried Oreo or like the funnel cake or, but all in all, like not, not my favorite confection, not what I would want to gravitate towards, but yeah, sometimes when you're,
00:41:10
Speaker
at a place like that, you feel the the need and the want. But yeah, ah love them. Love love rides. love yeah Love that kind of stuff. Well, speaking of those, my answer now is circuses. Do you like circuses? Yes or no?
00:41:28
Speaker
they're they They're okay. ah There's parts that I like. There's parts that I'm like, eh, about like the treatment of animals, usually in a circus, I always question. And also, the circuses I would go to as a kid, they were always very like hot. Temperature wise. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was sex sexy clowns. Sexy clowns. I think all c clowns are really sexy. That's disturbed. Why? Because clowns at a circus, you're finding, you're like taught me. Yeah. Okay. I want them to spray me with that seltzer bottle and do a little trick on me.
00:42:09
Speaker
I mean, I think circuses are cool. Imagine if I was like the opposite of you and I'm like, I actually love that we treat the way they treat animals, but I hate everything else in about circuses. That's why I go in there. yeah I want to see them dominate those animals. No, no. I i i did like them as a kid. it was like ah I went there in Russia. I went to like a Russian circus and I remember it was like really cool. And I really liked the clowns. I thought it was because they're like Russian clowns are renowned performers. and like clowning in Russia is like a really respected art form. So I was like really, they like tell a story. It's like really beautiful. When you're talking about clowning more with like your Russian heritage, to me that feels more like what I would expect in like Cirque du Soleil. I've never been. So I don't know what they do there, but I'm talking like sad clown, you know, like,
00:43:05
Speaker
that vibe like like telling tragedy through like left kind of like farce or you know right so it's like I'm talking yeah and I went to a clown show in l LA and there was um he's like the number he's like the clown guy here in l LA he like teaches everybody at the Elysium and I went to my friends like graduating class she took an intensive with him and I Do you remember his name? I wonder if I follow him. I know his name. I'm scared of saying his name. Oh, you don't want to put it out there. I don't want to put it out there. But I think I follow this person. You definitely do. Yeah, there's something about him that we both like. And I was like, he was so mean to all the performers. Like that's the bit. He's like, yeah. And he called them out on stuff. And he like, it was so intense. And I was like sitting there going,
00:43:55
Speaker
Oh my God, what is wrong with me? He's being mean and I'm like, I would impress you, daddy. Like it was a horrid. I'm like an audience member and I'm like, I want him to so think I'm a good audience member. Like that's a, that's a serious thing. No, no, no. I get, I get you. I get like self, what is it? Secondhand embarrassment when like people aren't like going with the bit at situations like that. But then again, I'm like, I don't know if I always go with the bit. He literally was like, oh, how many of you have gone to like a graduating improv class? And most of the audience is like parents and friends. They all raise their hands and he's like, okay, well, this is not like that. You're not going to laugh if it's not funny because they're going to have to earn your laughs.
Gift Shops and Matching Outfits
00:44:38
Speaker
Don't just laugh because you want to make them feel comfortable.
00:44:41
Speaker
they have to earn it. And everybody was like, what the fuck? And I was like, this is my fucking shit. I'm like, this is exactly what I fucking love. Yeah, I mean, it's again, it's never, I mean, it is a surprise yet not a surprise every time you go into something that really like gets you off because you're such an eclectic person. Okay, let's see what else is on our list. Yeah, what's your next one? Museum gift shops slash I guess a gift shop in general. I enjoy them. because I like little knickknack stuff. I never really buy stuff and I never go into it first. I think going into a gift shop before you go to a museum is weird. I'm like, what is this? Why did you come here? Yeah, I don't get it. So I but you know, if I find a piece of art or something that I really like, and I want a little magnet or something to like, remember it.
00:45:37
Speaker
it's nice yeah i mean i do like a gift shop but yeah it's always hit or miss where they decide to like make the merch out of whether it's if it is an art museum like what art they picked to kind of because like yeah it could be like the niche thing that you were like i loved that i want a little something like that in the house I'm thinking now of two other kind of kinds of gift shops, one being ones that are outside of rides, like at amusement parks, mainly at Disney, god I guess, or or Universal. And sometimes I'm like, yeah, like, do I want to get a shirt to commemorate this ride that I went on that I love or like a franchise that I love? And then also, I guess, less inclined at the gift shops and airports where it's like,
00:46:24
Speaker
Like I've had a moment where I'm on a connecting, you know, airport flight. And I'm like, do I want a shirt from Dallas as a Dallas, even though I've never been to Dallas, but I'm at the Dallas airport. Yeah. Do I want ah an entire brand new Louis Vuitton, like carrying baggage set? okay see that stuff is crazy to me if like i don't know i guess i don't have the privilege to be in a situation where i'm at the airport and i'm like i need to go to this expensive cologne shop they have here and buy a fresh new cologne or yeah expensive well that's for rich daddies they're gonna go see the little sugar babies and they want to smell like jaguar i'm at the hudson valley news i'm looking at magazines i'm looking at the books i'm looking at the romance covers
00:47:12
Speaker
Not the Hudson Valley news. Thank you. Isn't it just called the Hudson News? Whatever, I added valley. It's my valley. yeah It's a valley to me, sprawling, yeah beautiful, covered in green green pages of books. Okay, so couples who match when they go out. I think that's cute. I have to say I think that's cute because I have not only been a culprit of loving like a little matching moment, But like me and Money Music have matched plenty of times because we enjoy, we talked about it recently about the art of matching a friend or a partner. I really like it. I really like it. I think it's really cute. um There are definitely moments that are like, and gag, gross, losers. Maybe if they're wearing the same exact outfit, I'm like,
00:48:07
Speaker
okay yeah or if it's like a i'm with her she's she's mine don't touch my wife i have a gun i have a gun oh nice yeah absolutely no i i like it when people match and i do like when people compliment each other like couples that compliment each other yeah yeah exactly there's something really beautiful about that i don't know if i'd be able to do it i just don't have an eye for it but if i have a partner who's able to like, kind of be better at
Skincare Mishaps and Canceling Plans
00:48:37
Speaker
that. I would love that. Yeah. Okay, I have one more for you. Okay, let's do it. Exfoliating.
00:48:46
Speaker
ae Wait, did you know about my medical issue this week? Is that why? No. That's so crazy. Yeah, no, I just I definitely wrote this before. you That's so that's how I know we're like, mind twins. like We have a frickin cable between our heads. I so exfoliated so hard that I gave myself like basically a chemical burn and I had to go to the fucking urgent care to get that shit looked at. So exfoliating I guess is a no. It has done you wrong. No I like it because it makes your skin so nice and like if you don't do it like I do then you should be great and it makes your skin softer. I don't exfoliate my face.
00:49:30
Speaker
I don't. What? I don't exfoliate my face. Yeah. Okay. I feel like that skin is very delicate. And I'm like very scared about tugging pulling and also like rubbing it with something like harsh. So like I'll use toner and and like a cleanser. But I, um and I don't even like do my like nose area. I don't know. It's I surely have like clock pores and whatever, but I'm just so scared of like my face skin. And then I use all these like pills and potions and serums and pills and potions. We're overdosing. Has the have the barbs come out for you? Yeah, they fully heard my ramblings. Do you have one last one for me? Canceling plans last minute coming up with an elaborate excuse when all you really wanted to do was rot in bed and gas yourself with your own parts.
00:50:29
Speaker
um yes or no i don't love to cancel plans last minute but in general i i mean as you know i struggle with the with plans you know like sometimes i forget i made plans i'm like really bad at like putting everything on my like bone calendar um i think because i do it so much at work and like i have to be so organized and like focus on so many schedules um that like my real life becomes you know a place where I try to do that less but then it kicks me in the ass because then I like double book or like you know I don't I'll like over plan things and then realize I'm having like burnout and those are the only times where I'll like cancel a plan if like either one I feel like both of us are okay with not hanging out and like just taking the time back or I cancel plans and I'm very honest about like the fact that
00:51:27
Speaker
I, you know, I forgot I had this or I, you know, really need to just like relax. I'm so tired. Whatever. Yeah. I'm like, you could cancel on me. Just be honest with me. If you're like, I really just, I'm like anxious or I'm tired or, you know, I just had a bad day and I'm like not really feeling it. I'm like, that's absolutely fine. Like gives me time to do something this afternoon. Like that's fine. Um, it's different where when it's like, I know you double booked and you are doing something else with someone else. That was different. Yeah. To be honest about it. And then I love canceling plans. Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it. It's my favorite goddamn thing in the world. I barely do it, but it's my favorite thing in the world, is cancel plans. Yeah. Oh! There is a good, like, feeling of, like, okay, I just, like, opened up some time, whether you knew it or not. Yeah. Because I want to Ron Ben Fart. Yeah. That's all I want to do.
00:52:23
Speaker
Yeah, normally, I mean, that's the funny thing too is like, sometimes if like plans get canceled for whatever reason, um, then I'm like, okay, like I could use this time to go do something else. And then I like don't, you know, yeah it's like, okay, I guess I, yeah, I really just wanted to dick around for a little bit. But I think that you should be kind to yourself about wanting to dip around because you deserve some time to just dick around. Yeah. Like always, this goes back to my point about community is that sometimes it's, we're ah we're supposed to be like, go, go, go, do, do, do, production production productive, productive,
Relaxation and Closing Gratitude
00:53:00
Speaker
productive. But it's like, you deserve to have time for yourself to just relax and just feel like no pressure to do anything, be anywhere, because it's like,
00:53:12
Speaker
just be in that moment of existence. We don't have that much of that yeah in the grand scheme of things. Yeah, I think it's tough because ah for me, it's okay if i'm if I'm like, oh, this whole afternoon I'm gonna like lounge and do nothing. You know, the afternoon flies by and then I'm like, wow, I spent that whole afternoon like just sitting around. And I don't know, you know, sometimes I again, that like feeling of like needing to do something. I'm like, I just wasted so much time. But you know why I flew by? Because you were having fun. You were enjoying yourself. You were enjoying yourself. So I went by fast. Yeah. So it's like, I don't want to slow down time by being like fucking angry and bored and overbooked and like feeling that it's like, I love enjoying my time. And like,
00:54:05
Speaker
having the afternoon go by and like, just like, you know, it's like, my blood pressure, every doctor is like, how's your blood pressure so low? And I go, it's because I don't stress, baby. Baby, I'm not stressing. I'm under this blanket all afternoon watching The Housewives. Yes. Just full binge. binge baby. No, I just, I'll give myself like a Sunday afternoon to be like, don't see anyone, don't go anywhere. Just sign your couch and wash your hands. Sunday afternoons are great for doing nothing and kind of just like resting knowing that you've got like a week to come. And I need a week to come. I need a week to come. Damn. The way I do it. Edging up. Well, thank you all for
00:54:56
Speaker
