Two Truths and a Lie drag race season eight edition we have each prepared three facts about drag race season eight one of which is a lie. I'll go for thorgy Thor's original drag name was shenanigans. thorgy Thor smacked to Bob the drag queen after she was announced the winner, Naomi smalls knocked out Derrick berry in the untucked lounge

It came back number one Naomi smalls is six foot five in flat fact number two if stored at the correct temperature kimchi can last up to three days. Fact number three. Derrick Barry's grandparents fled Russia after being charged with treason

Vinny:

i spelt Russia wrong?

Sarah Lazarus:

I believe the Derrick Barry fact. I don't really understand the kimchi fact. But I feel like you found that on some website. I feel like Naomi smalls is not 6 5 in flats. All right, then. I guess the kimchi one is

Vinny:

sorry. That's also true. proper temperature. Oh wow. And that temperature is refrigerated.

Sarah Lazarus:

Wait. Oh my god. Yeah. Ah, yeah. got me. sounds like in your basement. I don't know.

I would believe that. I kidnapped Kim. Yeah.

Sarah Lazarus:

And then she would get like the Stockholm Syndrome. We

Vinny:

Vinny:

We have a good time. every hole is a goal.

Unknown:

Derek Berry's grandparents didn't play a flee Russia. Yeah,

Sarah Lazarus:

I don't get a Russian vibe.

Vinny:

Well you believed the fact that first?

Unknown:

Derrick Barry's grandparents were on the mayflower, right.

Sarah Lazarus:

I could be wrong. But that's just the vibe. A lot of important things going on right now. But this is a particular matter that we felt important to bring up and for you to donate to we donated to them. And that's for the current Georgia senate run off race between Jon ossoff and Raphael, Warnock. And it's really important. This is going to get us to take over the Senate and so that Joe Biden can get things done during his presidency, you should go donate to them. You can find the Georgia senate run off donation at move on.org. And you can just Google it and you'll find it. It's super important. Important. Please donate to that cause we got to get the senate we got to get shit done. We got to get this country back on its feet get free affordable health care and rights for everybody. Just do it, please.

So yeah, thank you Stacey Abrams.

Vinny:

antibiotic ointment is not for chafing. I don't know. chafing is not caused by a bacterial infection.

Mr. DeSeno:

Yes.

Sarah Lazarus:

People please come to my

Bob the Drag Queen:

my social. My mother's maiden name is Smith.

Sarah Lazarus:

Yeah, I just trust people too much, which I guess was, you know, a fault of growing up in Florida.

Bob the Drag Queen:

But I wouldn't trust anyone.

Sarah Lazarus:

I know. The thing is, like,

Bob the Drag Queen:

it'd be like, it'd be like, a reason to literally not trust a person like literally, no one. Like, I'm not no shade of Florida. But no,

Sarah Lazarus:

sahde it, it's like Stockholm Syndrome, where you believe that you're okay. But there's like people around you eating the flesh off of their bodies, but you're like, it's fine. You know, it's sunny out.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Florida's like, we have our own little Australia right here.

Sarah Lazarus:

You want to know, where were you born? What was your childhood like your upbringing?

Bob the Drag Queen:

Yes,

Mr. DeSeno:

I was born in Columbus, Georgia. Georgia just went blue.

Vinny:

Yeah.

Bob the Drag Queen:

I was born in Columbus, Georgia with my childhood. Like, I know that I could submit that and I'm in a podcast or a few sentences. But um, I don't know. I mean, I don't know how to answer the question. What was my that's such a broad question. Do you have any specific questions about my childhood? I can answer those

Sarah Lazarus:

Well, I know that your mom owned a drag bar correct. And you used to visit as a child

Bob the Drag Queen:

Well, I didn't go into the bar was awkward. Let me go during the days when my mom would go and like clean up or or switched about or do something with that my mom owned it was called sensations. It was in Columbus, Georgia. And my mom owned that with a with a couple of other queer ladies it was all my all her ladies. Wow.

Sarah Lazarus:

That's amazing. So was there a particular Queen there who like really, like spoke to you and inspired

Bob the Drag Queen:

never met the Queen's if they didn't go? Oh, right. I wasn't allowed to go to at nighttime, right? I remember one time, my mom couldn't get a babysitter and I was actually taking money at the door. But I wasn't allowed to go inside. But I was also afraid of drag queens when I was a kid because I had a friend named Sydney who worked at the bar because a bartender or something. And he was just I love sitting he was really flamboyant gay guy. And he he told me that I couldn't trust drag queens. He was like, never trust because he was in a parking lot like arguing like, he wasn't a drag queen in the work of arguing with a patron. And then she tried to shoot the patient, but she missed the shot my friend, my friend, Sydney, so he was like a drag queen shot me to carry weapons don't trust drag queens are crazy. And I was like, Oh, well then Okay, don't just drag queens. Oh my gosh.

Sarah Lazarus:

That's That's really interesting. Because you had like, kind of

Vinny:

so experiences did that ever change when you or do you still not trust drag queens?

Bob the Drag Queen:

Well, I mean, after the second time, I got shot by drag queen. No kidding. Um, no, I mean, I drag queens are a lot like human beings. So I trust some drag queens and some drag queens. You can trust everyone to be themselves.

Sarah Lazarus:

That's so true. I need to take that into account when I tell people my address.

Bob the Drag Queen:

I can trust everyone to be themselves

Sarah Lazarus:

is true. So yeah. When did you start performing and when did yeah. When did you become attracted to the stage and Drag

Bob the Drag Queen:

earliest memories of performing were really I mean, I was kind of like making forcing my family to watch me entertain. Like I was very much a kid who would like just force my family to look at me. Do things Like they just their whole job in life was to watch me do this song or watch me do this dancer. Mom look I'm gonna do a cartwheel mom looking when I have a joke to tell. But I started performing on stage in high school when I was in the theater program in ninth grade.

Vinny:

And how did you get into drag?

Bob the Drag Queen:

What was proposed right race? I saw it on TV and I thought to myself, Oh my god, that looks amazing. Like I could do that. I think I think I could do a good job at that. So you

Sarah Lazarus:

started in the bar culture, right in New York City, which talk about the differences between club kid culture and bar Queen culture, which is very different.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Yeah, there's club kids. There's bar queens, there's cabaret queens, there's pageant Queen, there's online queens queens exists on YouTube and Instagram. um you know like like Suzanne bartsch with all these parties are like milk and aquaria and Kenya wasn't a window

Vinny:

I cant hear it

Bob the Drag Queen:

Suzanne Bartsch would throw these parties in New York City where people like Thorgy and milk and aquaria and Kenny Kenny crystal something something all these like Amanda Lepore all these like queens and club kids and club queens would go and like turn looks and you know get turned on a little booger sugar and Molly and um, you know, live their lives.

Sarah Lazarus:

Right. So you but you were a bar Queen, right? So yeah,

Bob the Drag Queen:

so I was at the bar I was working at like Barracuda Florida industry Therapy boots and saddles, hardware. I mean, you name it. There's I mean, actually Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea West Village, was where I made, you know, where I spend most of my days. And I yeah, that's right, like, did most of my, um, how do you say, like this, right, I broke my teeth. I mean, going to the bar is going to the competition's peppermint used to host competition on Thursday nights at Barracuda that will go to Chelsea on 22 between 7th and 8th. And then I'm going to show us another competition on Wednesdays at therapy on 52nd and *th and 9th. Um, and then I just started like meeting all these drag queens of the competitions. And then we were like, the freshman class, like the newest queens. Yeah. And all the reason I was doing drag with just became more and more season, and stop doing competitions, or having our own shows and start booking people. And that's kind of how the system works.

Vinny:

Yes, yeah, we wanted to ask you actually, because you have really great creative and personal relationships with both peppermint and Monet exchange. I mean, wanted to ask how you met both of them.

Bob the Drag Queen:

So I met I was just a fan of peppermint for I was just a peppermint fan who go to her shows and sit in the audience and just marvel at everything. She's funny. She was how successful she was, how talented she was, how she could control a room, how her lipstick was so tight, our dance was great. her thighs were so shiny, and everything I just loved. I just loved all of that about her. And that's how I met her. And then over time, we became peers. And then Monet is the opposite when people come to my shows and want to do stuff, and then we became peers.

Sarah Lazarus:

And you're a part you and Monet are part of this a drag family right um

Bob the Drag Queen:

it's kind of it is a drag family but it's not like the the Edwards is not like House of Edwards. It's not like the dupris is not like the O'Hara's it's not like it's not like that. It's not an attempt. It's just that you know, me and monet are drag sisters because we're best friends and Miss crackers my drag daughter because she is like all of my drag kids and their kids. So it is more of a drag family but not in I don't want to insinuate is in the way of like these, like drag houses where it's not like pose. It's not like a ballroom house. We're just a bunch of friends who who share a craft

Sarah Lazarus:

are all comedy queens to which I love. We had comedy, no house, no ballroom comedy.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Um, yeah.

Sarah Lazarus:

So segue on to that what was your experience on drag race? Like, um,

Bob the Drag Queen:

again, you got to get more specific.

Sarah Lazarus:

You were such a formidable presence. You're so funny. What was it? What's your experience being there? Like, we're like, obviously there's drama, but also what were the challenges like what is it like actually shooting the show being a show so

Bob the Drag Queen:

each episode is two days? Yes. So every episode great ways to shop for two days they should come back to back in back when I was on the show. We had one day off. We had Sundays off It's I mean, it's like it's a pressure cooker you're, you're filming for 12 hours a day. So basically when you sit in one hour episode that's been whittled down from 24 hours of footage, they cut out 23 hours of footage Not to mention they're shooting on like four or five cameras, not to mention the shooting like three different things all at once. Because like, we're here doing something as a group of there is over here. They're also shooting on the mainstage while they're shooting us over here on in the workroom then we're in the workroom someone's also outside smoking a cigarette and shooting them so it's a lot of footage whittled down to one hour of television. And I think that's that's what people forget what that's lost on the general public sometime. how remarkable the editors of the show are. And I'm really grateful to the editors I know a lot of people don't don't get thanked the editors but I love them, especially rest in peace to the amazing beautiful Jacqueline Wilson who is one of the producers and editors over most drag race. She just a really brilliant woman of color who was one of the main star producers and she's so fair she snatched two Emmys from the grave. Jacqueline is um, and you know, so yeah, so you shoot I was no longer there I was I was there for a month and a half. And then of course you take like six months off and then you film the last episode. That's why

Sarah Lazarus:

I work I work with thorgy Thor who was

Bob the Drag Queen:

oh, sorry to hear that.

Sarah Lazarus:

Oh, well. Yeah. But she was mentioning how you guys never see each other on the show. You're like all all of you are separate the whole time. And like you kind of like even the drama. What happens it's not really like that outside of you know filming. Can you see me not like going to dramas obviously. And I've talked to other queens about this some of the dramas a little you know, enhance for the cameras were any was anything.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Those queens should probably speak for themselves. I didn't turn on a personality for the cat. I wasn't doing the thing. I wasn't doing the special character for camera that I don't do by myself. I was just being my authentic self. So if some of those queens were putting on for the camera, then I mean sure. I'm sure a lot of what you're putting on for the camera. I wasn't one of them. If I was mad at you on camera, because I was mad at you and I wasn't I wasn't playing mad at you. I was real. I was genuinely mad at you. I wasn't doing the like, they were like cut and i was like ooh girl. All right. Let's go to lunch. I was like no bitch. I'm mad at you. And, uh, yeah, so I mean, we don't see each other when the cameras aren't rolling. Like when they when there's not cameras we do except for in the car to the place. We can't talk to each other. Then we walk in the workroom and then we film the cameras and then we talk. The cameras go down and they were no talk to each other during lunch break. We sit in silence. And then the cameras go back up and then we talk again. So the only time we're talking is when the cameras rolling. Oh, yeah, I

Sarah Lazarus:

guess I phrase well, Thorgy was not saying in a fake personality on screen. She was just saying how like, it wasn't as tense those like really dramatic fights as you would think they were maybe there they were different for you. But I guess

Bob the Drag Queen:

also Thorgy didn't have a dramatic fight. Who does she fight with? I don't know. How the fuck was she? No. What does she fucking know? I had a fight with with Derrick Barry we were we were mad. Like, we're actually we're mad at each other. It was in when the cameras cut. We weren't chill. It didn't just resolve itself. Yeah, the cameras cut we're not allowed to talk. So we were still fuming and I you know, when I saw Derek and Naomi get into a fight it was the same way they were they were genuinely upset with each other. Not to mention like the price that you see on TV. See if it does three minutes it is actually maybe 15-20 minutes of real life. Wow. But you're gonna we were arguing for almost an hour

Sarah Lazarus:

Wow. million dollar fight that I would love to see in person.

Vinny:

Footage exists.

Sarah Lazarus:

So moving on to your post drag race life. So you did Angels in America at Berkeley Rep. And I love this play. Obviously anyone in the theater world anyone who has any connection to theater This is such a pivotal pivotal theatrical piece in his

Bob the Drag Queen:

especially if you is a gay or if you as a Jewish person you really love or if you as a Mormon, you really love the the show?

Sarah Lazarus:

Yes. And Belize obviously such an iconic role and you worked with one of the original cast members, Steven Spinella. What was that like playing Belize and what was it like working with him? Yeah,

Bob the Drag Queen:

I mean, so, it was a really interesting experience. I was invited to be a member of the cast. by Tony Kushner, who wrote the show, if you don't know, because he wrote angels, he also wrote a link in and he wrote Carolina change. And he's, and he wrote the book for the new West Side Story that is coming out. He's I mean, Pulitzer Prize, Emmy winner. I mean, you name it. He's got an award for it. If you can, if you can win an award for it. He's won that award, I'm sure. So audition, and I guess they thought I was good. So I got the role. It was really interesting. I mean, it was I hadn't done theater, and probably not probably I had done theater over 10 years, like legitimate theater and over 10 years, I went to school for theater, but then I just kind of started cabaret and stand up. Because I was having a hard time getting cast, and you're exceeding because you really got to be able to sing and dance if you're gonna try to make it in theater here today. And I can't sing and dance. So I had to find my own route, you know. Um, and it was it was it was hard work with eight shows a week. It was rehearsing nine to five. Um, it was, it's a seven hour play,

Sarah Lazarus:

right? Yeah, I mean, learning the lines themselves on top of like, the emotional capacity you have to like, take on all the feelings of the characters must be just a lot to you know,

Bob the Drag Queen:

it was a lot. You know, we did a lot of preparation and talking to some aids nurses. You talk to some Mormons. We spoke to some angels. I'm kidding. Angels in America, right here in this right here. But it was really interesting. It was it was it was intense amount of work. Steven spinella is a powerhouse of an actor. He's a two time Tony Award winner for Angels in America. They were probably cast also, I mean, the rest of the cast is great. Danny insock. Randy Harrison from from queers as folk played prior. Um, I mean, the the Frankie, very Danny Carmen Roman. I mean, Bethany, the whole cast was really brilliant.

Sarah Lazarus:

Yes, yes. Yes.

Vinny:

We also wanted to ask about the show We're here which premiered on HBO starring yourself and Shangela and Eureka. And we wanted to know which episode of we're here was your favorite to film?

Bob the Drag Queen:

Well, I really enjoy every film, I think enjoyed. Well, that's that's a tricky question, because my favorite episode may have not been my favorite to film. by for example, there was just more to do in Branson than probably any other tower in so I was just not going crazy. And like my favorite episode is Farmington, New Mexico. But I did not have a lot to do. I was just like, there was nothing to do and it was so cold. And I couldn't find things to do for myself. I'm sure there's stuff to do. I hadn't found what there is to do. But my favorite episode is Farmington, New Mexico is so good. We got to work with indigenous queer community in shiprock, which is a reservation in New Mexico outside of Farmington and I got to meet the amazing Lady Shug is really great, brilliant drag activists. It was a really wonderful experience.

Sarah Lazarus:

Yes. And for anyone who listens to this who hasn't seen this show yet. It's on HBO. I think it's a it's about you know, Bob shangela and Eureka come to the small towns and try to bring queer people together through the art of drag. It's really cool and and

Bob the Drag Queen:

people know because a makeover show us not to make over Yeah. It's not like we're high because like with queer I you're, you're making these people over and giving them a lot of like doing their homes and giving them nice haircuts. The stuff we're giving them the physical stuff we're giving them they can't use this stuff. It's just like a glitzy costume. They can't wear it till Halloween. But I think that the the emotion that we all go through together are really what the show is about.

Sarah Lazarus:

Yes. Yes. So what's in store for the future Bob the drag queen. I know you have a tentative tour with Monet exchange depending on when and I guess COVID coming up.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Where one of these holes

Sarah Lazarus:

Oh my gosh.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Wow, she'll do my lip syncs.

Sarah Lazarus:

I love it. Yeah, that's

Vinny:

a good face shield. It goes all the way up. Yeah.

Bob the Drag Queen:

It works so many ways.

Sarah Lazarus:

Kind of like et chic. I love it. Yeah.

Bob the Drag Queen:

I mean, you know, I've been working on I've been working a lot on my YouTube page with my partner Jacob, we've been cranking out some YouTube content we're really proud of it and I have some really big announcements coming up soon. But too soon to tell you about

Sarah Lazarus:

being the new host of Bob the drag queens drag race

Bob the Drag Queen:

Could you imagine my me being like I just didn't really care for much of

Sarah Lazarus:

your fracking ranch would be

Bob the Drag Queen:

way better. Exactly. And I'm really looking forward to I'm working on my socials been great because you know we live this is where we live. We live on the internet. Yes, this is where we live. And there's there's two things you can kind of like scrunch your face up and get mad at or you can embrace it. Like Mary, I don't want to be one of those old farts being like, you know, back in the day. Back in the day we live in this day. You're on that day we live in it. We don't live in the back of the days. You know the quote Billy Joel, the good old days weren't always good. And tomorrow and as bad as it seems.

Sarah Lazarus:

Yes, yes. I guess I'm a combo because I try so hard on social media, but also like an old fart in my brain. So I'm looking at

Bob the Drag Queen:

you combos are like the best snacks at every gas station.

Sarah Lazarus:

There you go. Actually, my favorite combo is uh oh, combos those I was thinking of a combo also, like, I recently tried. We both had this flaming hot cheetos, but lime flavored. Just

Bob the Drag Queen:

mind you got to get the jalapeno cheddar Cheetos. Oh,

Vinny:

yes. Oh God, they had those in the vending machine at school. Oh, yeah. blew my asshole out once a week. They're

Bob the Drag Queen:

great. I'm a combo I'm more of a bugle myself. But certain snacks you can literally only find at gas stations. And bugles are only at gas stations. airports. I feel jerky. I feel like there's a beef jerky with the cheese and the beef jerky in the same

Sarah Lazarus:

Oh my gosh.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Getting grub with a bunch of trashy people.

Sarah Lazarus:

Okay, so we're gonna move on to this. We have a little game fun section. Our first little part we do a mad lib of and we have one of your song purse first.

Sarah Lazarus:

Okay, another game. Is it fashion? Ready?

Vinny:

Is it fashion the new James Charles x murder Hornets eyeshadow palette?

Bob the Drag Queen:

Yes, fashion. I love yellow and black together so I'm into it. Okay, so can we just say for a moment like good for James Charles. Like, there are a lot of folks out to drag him through the mud and he came out smelling like roses. And every single person that tried to drag him is like just except Jeffree Star seems to be doing fine. Except the fact that his boyfriend just broke up with him and stole and exposed that he paid him so he wouldn't look racist, but like Tati's channel is done. Who's the one Shane Dawson's channel has been defunded. Like everyone who tried to come in when they're all like Charles just said like, this is really amazing. New Product Launch today.

Sarah Lazarus:

Another impression I honestly know. Yeah. I wonder, is he like a Trump supporter? I wonder like he could have that hidden underneath there.

Bob the Drag Queen:

He strikes me as someone I don't first I don't know James Charles, but he strikes me as someone who is apolitical to someone who, who has a certain level of privilege, right? built they rise above politics, because the because they're going to be fine no matter what. I mean, when you were a millionaire before you before you could legally drink. And you were probably privileged before that, you probably don't have a strong sense of being affected by our justice system on little things like whether or not Donald Trump is the president. Or if Joe Biden is indeed our president. So if he were apolitical, or just siding with what his social identity is, that wouldn't shock me. Yeah, he's probably like, yeah, go Biden. But he's confirming that he didn't. Maybe, maybe also, maybe he did the same thing I did, which was I voted and of course, my grandma died 20 years ago, but we didn't report it. And I use her name. And then my dog who also we use his name so if anyone sees that Grizzly voted and blue in Georgia, they'll know it was me.

Sarah Lazarus:

James Charles voted on behalf of his dog as well. I believe. This also okay, is it fashion Jeffree Star x q anon tracksuits.

Bob the Drag Queen:

I'm gonna say it is not leave it in the category of not being a fashion.

Vinny:

Next up we've got a few rounds of marry fuck kill. Are you familiar? You know,

Bob the Drag Queen:

this may shock you but yes.

Vinny:

All right. All right. Round number one. We've got Miz cracker. A pocket pussy. And the Seven Dwarves except sleepy?

Bob the Drag Queen:

No, sleepy. Interesting. I'm gonna marry the dwarves because there's just so many I didn't want to fuck the warves because that's a great night. That's a great night. I'm going to marry I'm going to marry cracker we great really great friends. Like those partner friends. And I want to I mean, I'll kill the pocket pussy because it's just a piece of plastic. I won't feel bad about it

Sarah Lazarus:

plastic. Okay, Mary fuck Hill RuPaul's fracking husband, our town and Hobby Lobby

Bob the Drag Queen:

was our town.

Sarah Lazarus:

The play the play our town?

Bob the Drag Queen:

I'm gonna kill that because I don't even know what the hell it is.

Sarah Lazarus:

You don't need to.

Bob the Drag Queen:

But I also don't want to marry our I don't want to marry our town because I gotta have to kill Hobby Lobby. Yeah, um, and then I don't have ever seen her husband. I mean, fracking or not. He is he can spray some oil on my face. He is currently looking beautiful.

Vinny:

Um, okay, next up we have Sharon Stone's vagina. The Abrahamic God and Gia Gunn twice.

Bob the Drag Queen:

What is the Abrahamic God I don't even know what so I'm gonna kill whatever that is. And I guess there's two Gia Gunns. Fuck those. Group play. I guess I'm marrying the other thing which I've completely forgot what it was.

Vinny:

Sharon stones vagina.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Marry that nice spread.

Sarah Lazarus:

Okay, last one. melania Trump, if she were filled up with oxygen, the stuffing from build a bear and Kirstie Alley performing cake farts?

Bob the Drag Queen:

Well, not a lot of great choices. I'm going to I'm going to marry the build a bear stuffing.

Sarah Lazarus:

Mm hmm.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Um, I guess I'm going to Kirstie Alley, performing cake farts. Although I you know, Kirstie Alley is an extremely problematic Trumps supporting Scientologists. But I'm also not one of those folks who breaks the rules and games. I'm not going to like kill the wrong I'm going to actually play the game. So I'm going to talk I'm gonna I'm gonna have to let the first oxygen lady the balloon up first actually have to just like pop up with a balloon that points like it's like a Macy's Day Parade that is.

Vinny:

But Messier.

Sarah Lazarus:

Oh my god token just like it just all she just melts, you know your

Bob the Drag Queen:

right

Sarah Lazarus:

doesn't even pop. It's just like a liquid drip.

Bob the Drag Queen:

I mean she's another person you know, I look at the republican party which is so interesting because I remember my landlord voting for george bush, and not feeling like I hated her being like, I wish you hadn't done that. That being said, Here's your rent, and I'll see you next month. And we also have a night and I babysat her kids and everything. And that was when the Republican Party wasn't amoral that was back when they didn't bow down to I mean, Donald Trump is truly this is not the this is the fascist manifesto is play by play. What you do is you tell everyone, you can't trust the media, you can't you literally cannot trust the media. So then as follows like, Okay, well, I can't believe them. They're like, well, who can we trust? And he's like, I'm the only one you can trust. If I say it is true, if anyone else says it. And I mean, if anyone else says it is false. Now he At first, he was like, you can turn it off. He's like, no, don't trust Fox. Actually, I lied. Don't trust Fox. But you could just ban it. Okay? Nevermind, actually don't trust ban. ban is also now not one of the good guys. Amarosa is one of the bad guys. So he's like, only trust me. So now they're only getting their information from him. And then he's like, also the system that we've been using for years and years and years, that is gotten all this together. That is also fully bad. Now that's bad, too. So now we know that that's bad. And we know that the media is bad. You can only trust me. Only the things I say matter. This is fascism to a t. And what he's done is radicalize the right. He has weaponized fear in in people to make them angry. Right. And when people are angry, or afraid, that's when they use their most irrational.

Sarah Lazarus:

That's I was watching john mccain's speech from when he lost to Obama in the audience five was so different. I mean, he was a completely different person. But like, it just he's, I guess, brought out the anger and racism that has been harboring amongst these people. I feel like because I obviously it's been there, but he's just made them have a safe space in America, Trump.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Do you remember what I mean? Either, they're all they play them while they're playing George Bush Senior abdicating to Bill Clinton. There, they're showing clips of Barack Obama shaking hands with Donald Trump, um, as in a peaceful exchange of power. Um, and basically, Donald Trump has undermined American democracy at every corner. And you know, when folks are like, yo, like, if you don't make it here, just leave. If you don't love America, just leave and I'm like, actually, what you're doing is not loving America. If you're in a house, and you love it, you fix it. If the ceilings leaky, you fix it. You don't just tell everyone that's not a leak. You just say Actually, it's not a leak. It's actually um, I painted it that way. So I suppose that the people who are trying to fix America are the ones who love it the most. Yeah. I say once Joe Biden is the president. Tell those MAGA supporters if you don't like it here, yes. Leave.

Sarah Lazarus:

Take on.

Bob the Drag Queen:

When are you gonna go? Gonna go? At this point, I feel like we've been duped. Mexico has been able to get us to build a wall. And then we are paying for it. And we're also paying to guard it is it's going to be to keep us from going to Mexico. It's going to keep Mexico from coming here. It's going to keep us from going there.

Sarah Lazarus:

It's it's just yeah, it's horrible. And I hope that you know, invited is an office Hill you know, create more of a camaraderie especially since we literally have a virus. These people are arguing with bacteria. You know, it's so stupid.

Bob the Drag Queen:

I feel like once it's all said and done, it is going to be important for blue people. Liberals leftist to once the trumpies. The trumpets come out of there to welcome them back into society. But in the meantime, fuck you guys. I'm waiting till inauguration. So I'm going to be pleasant until then. I never said I wasn't petty. I was petty when you fuckin met me. Petty today.

Sarah Lazarus:

I love your conversation that you had with that Tick Tok guy.

Sarah Lazarus:

We want to leave you with just a quote we leave all of our guests with just a random piece of information. So

Vinny:

always remember, you can't spell republican without pelican rub.

Bob the Drag Queen:

Um, I feel like I should give you a quote now. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world yet forfeit their soul? I literally just type in random Bible quote. And that was actually a really great one is I love giving like I had a Bible which I don't because i don't i mean i don't i'm not really super into reading fiction. If I had if I was flipped through it would be like
