my butt. Now she

2:43

was only

2:43

kidding. I couldn't commit to it. I'm about admire.

2:45

At that moment, I say, and I just panicked. And then

2:47

I'm like,

2:47

yeah. You'd be like, no. No. I didn't murder him.

2:49

Okay. I did. Yeah.

2:52

Definitely. So finally, tell

2:54

us about yourself. Okay.

2:56

Well, I'm a stripper. Oh,

2:58

hello. Whoa. You mean,

3:00

hello? This is fantastic. Wow. What do

3:02

you prefer? Is it stripper or exotic dancer

3:04

with you, like You know midnight down arena,

3:07

nah. Here we go. Or

3:09

whatever, you

3:10

know. What was that? Nine is a nice.

3:22

I need a naked therapist. Yeah. I'll do it.

3:25

I'm gonna be all. I'm good. Bye. Yeah.

3:27

So Violet, this is really fascinating

3:29

to me. I don't know a

3:31

lot about

3:33

the profession of stripping

3:35

exotic dancing. How did

3:37

you learn how to do that?

3:39

you just kinda like

3:40

learn on the go. You know, there's really

3:42

I mean, these say say it's a tutorial for

3:44

everything, but when I started in

3:46

two thousand fifteen, you kind of just

3:48

watched other girls and hope for the

3:50

best, you know. Sure. Just kind of

3:52

wing it. Yeah. I I

3:54

yeah i

3:55

long time ago on the late night show,

3:59

someone gave me a pole dancing lesson

4:01

on the show. And I was shot at

4:03

how difficult it is. Mhmm. It it

4:05

takes I mean, you have to be

4:08

in terrific shape to do that and

4:10

I'm always impressed the times that

4:12

I've somehow stumbled into a strip

4:14

club. You know, usually

4:16

when I'm no. When I'm doing charity

4:18

work somewhere, I fall through a door. I see.

4:20

And it's right. I think I'm going into the closet

4:23

where the supplies are. They're gonna help humanity.

4:25

And then I oh, what? A strip club,

4:28

well, it would be rude to leave immediately. But

4:30

when I'm there, I'm always impressed with the athleticism

4:33

of of the women Do

4:35

you work on a pole? Because you have to, like, support

4:37

your whole body weight. It seems like it's very difficult.

4:39

Yeah. Well, you know, it's funny

4:41

when I was a kid, they failed

4:43

me out of gymnastics because I

4:45

was terrified of doing a handstand. Wouldn't

4:48

do it. So they wouldn't let me pass.

4:50

And then now every time I look sit down

4:52

on a pole. I think take that gymnastics.

4:55

Oh, yes.

4:55

If

4:59

only they if only they had played pour some

5:01

sugar on me at the gym, you probably

5:04

won't be able to pull it off. It's all about the

5:06

music. This would have cray. in my, like, five year

5:08

old brain. I would have been, like, feels

5:10

great. Let me at what's what kind of music

5:12

do you like to dance to? Do you have a favorite song?

5:14

Yeah. So I just like any

5:16

music that's depressing that

5:18

that set

5:19

you Wow. That's cool. Yeah.

5:21

I have

5:21

to fight with the corporation,

5:24

all the time because they want really, like, pop songs

5:26

uplifting, and I'm just, like, I want

5:28

men to cry dollar films. That's

5:30

cool. So,

5:34

like, fake plastic trays. Right? You know,

5:36

and that would be a good one. Alright. By radio

5:38

head, you know, something something

5:41

sad you know. Yeah. Like Well, the

5:43

scientists -- Oh. --

5:45

by by cold play, you know, in Oakland

5:48

-- Turn on your heart. like that you have

5:50

diamond. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

5:52

That's Sarah McLaughlin song. That's all about

5:54

the dying puppies.

5:54

Yes. Yeah. That's what I want

5:57

people to think of. You know, John can be

5:59

different stage.

5:59

So okay. I

6:03

have made questions. This is I'm

6:06

I'm I'm very happy about this interview because

6:08

I'm learning a lot. What what does the usual

6:14

guys do you mostly see

6:16

at the strip club.

13:45

me. Come on. You like

13:47

me.

13:54

So

13:54

wow. So

13:57

and and did you mention you're

13:59

married? Is that right?

14:00

Yes. Okay. five

14:02

years as of the thirtieth. How

14:03

did you meet your husband?

14:05

So we've known each other

14:08

since junior year

14:10

high school. And

14:12

then we kind of, like,

14:15

just moved apart, you know, dating

14:17

different people. And I actually

14:20

reunited with him at the strip club.

14:22

Uh-huh. His friend dragged him

14:24

in because he got don't not my

14:26

husband, best friend. And they had my

14:28

husband be the silver

14:31

person to drive everybody around.

14:33

And I was in the

14:35

lobby talking to the door

14:37

girl and out the corner of my eye. I'm

14:38

like, wait. I went to high school with that

14:40

guy, you know. And I

14:43

always had a crush on him. So Oh,

14:45

that's I was, like, in my stage. Yeah.

14:47

And then I just, like, snapped came

14:49

to my stage because I love I love care

14:51

though surprise snacking all lean in like you're

14:53

about to kiss them

14:54

and then just Yeah. But you can only

14:56

do it on the right guy. You have to fill

14:58

it out. Sometimes they might man. Oh, so oh,

15:00

I see. So you're dancing and then you lean

15:02

into them like you're gonna kiss them and nailing them

15:04

and then you trick them and you slap

15:07

them. Yeah. Yeah. My

15:09

wife did that on the altar when I got

15:11

married. Oh, that's hot.

15:13

Yeah. It wasn't it wasn't hot at

15:15

all. She just really lies what she was in

15:17

for. Oh. She's very disappointed

15:19

and angry. Yeah. But we

15:21

got over it. We worked it out with therapy. Wow.

15:24

So that's so nice. You've been married a

15:26

while now. Yeah. And

15:28

like you said, you're gonna take courses. What kind of courses

15:30

are you gonna take?

15:32

So I am working towards my

15:35

business degree in

15:37

marketing.

15:37

Yeah. That's great. Yeah. And, you know, it

15:39

is kinda

15:39

kinda boring. Honestly, like, you know,

15:42

I went to art school. I had a

15:44

full scholarship and then I dropped out

15:46

because I'm like, ninety percent of this

15:48

is kind of bolshitting people. You know,

15:50

like, this is why my artist

15:52

deep, you know? Exactly. And honestly,

15:54

if you're gonna make it, you don't have to go to art

15:56

school and you just put yourself out there. And

15:58

I'm like, I need a backup. I

16:00

can't dance forever as much as I would love

16:02

to, you know. So that's my

16:04

backup. What's the most

16:05

money you've made in one night? Konya.

16:08

I'm

16:08

just curious. No. Oh, you know what?

16:10

I'm just curious. Question. Why don't I ask

16:12

that for that question? inappropriate. I don't know.

16:14

It's just inappropriate to ask somebody

16:16

how much money. I mean, I'm not

16:18

I'd probably be too old at this point.

16:48

I'm a I'm a man. Yeah. You don't

17:06

ashamed of anything. Okay.

17:09

The worst down. We're just a game

17:11

dancer. I could do the straight yes. I could do the

17:13

instrument. you could really pull the stringing.

17:15

Okay. What's this guy's what he's

17:17

talking about? By the way, did you have

17:19

Did you have a question for me, Violet? Because I'd

17:21

I'd love to help you out in any way I can.

17:23

If you

17:23

have anything you want to ask me.

17:26

So

17:26

I it's

17:27

kind of a two parter. I was wondering,

17:29

number one, if you were

17:31

going to be a stripper, what

17:33

would you stage maybe. And number

17:36

two, what song would you dance

17:38

to? Okay. Ginger

17:40

Snap. Oh, that's good. Isn't

17:42

ginger Snap good? That's good. And I do

17:44

the the patented ginger snap where I

17:46

snap my head and my hair would,

17:48

you know, go to the side

17:50

and maybe nothing else would move around to the

17:52

old Ginger Snapp. Oh,

17:52

I thought that was a that was a

17:54

song. Sorry. I got confused. That's your name.

17:56

That's my name. Ginger Snapp. That's so

17:59

high. I think it's

17:59

really hand out ginger snaps.

18:02

Yeah. Ginger. Yeah.

18:05

I mean, that's then my song would be common people

18:07

as sung by William Shatner. Oh,

18:10

18:13

18:15

Wampshire versions? This team is
