It's me, Matty Morphosis, and I'm excited to

0:03

announce that you can now listen to my

0:05

hit show, Give It To Me Straight, on

0:07

your favorite podcast app, thanks to Mom. I

0:09

sit down with Drag Race alumni, music stars,

0:11

and influencers and challenge them to give it

0:13

to me straight in an interview full of

0:15

in-depth, personal, and always shady questions. Catch up

0:17

on previous episodes and listen to all new

0:19

interviews every other Thursday. In this week's episode,

0:22

I sit down with moguls of media's very

0:24

own Alaska. I feel

0:26

like you really built a brand post-Drag Race too,

0:28

because you had that power

0:30

dynamic when you were first on because you were

0:32

dating a winner at that time. And

0:36

then after the show, you made a successful podcast with

0:38

Willem, who is also infamously famous

0:40

in the Drag Race fandom. Have you always

0:42

been a coattail rider, or was that also

0:44

just luck and happenstance? You

0:47

did it! She did it!

0:50

Classic. Well,

0:52

I don't even remember the question. That was funny. Listen

0:55

2:00

A luxury public access YouTube talk

2:02

show and podcast where I look

2:05

gorgeous, speak extemporaneously, and invite fascinating

2:07

people to sit on the couch

2:09

and get very Mary Delta. Very

2:12

Mary Delta is for the woman who never met

2:14

a cow neck sweater she didn't love. Cow

2:17

neck sweaters sexy, easy,

2:20

sophisticated. Feel your

2:22

very best. But

2:24

first let's get into

2:27

some things that are

2:29

very Mary Delta. You

2:31

know what I

2:35

love about Utah?

2:37

Everything. Hello? You

2:40

know what I love about Utah? Being a consumer

2:43

in Utah. I love

2:49

spending money in Utah. It's one of

2:51

my favorite things. I just came back

2:54

from my annual Thanksgiving

2:56

weekend trip to Utah and not just

2:58

Salt Lake because I love Salt Lake.

3:00

If you've ever gone to Salt Lake

3:03

Pride it's amazing. The people are amazing.

3:05

The venues are amazing. But

3:08

it's not just Salt Lake that I like.

3:10

It's driving out of Salt Lake. You know

3:12

we always pick up a rental car and

3:14

then we go visit family and I'm talking

3:16

about over the river and through the woods

3:18

literally. It is absolutely stunning. I

3:20

will say I think the sights for me are

3:22

more beautiful in the winter. We do go in

3:24

the summer as well but I think in the

3:27

winter it's beautiful because every time I look out

3:29

I'm like oh my gosh look because I'm the

3:31

passenger I'm not doing any of the driving. I

3:34

look out and I'm like that looks just

3:36

like a Christmas tree like I went to

3:38

a Ross that I always go to and

3:40

it's in Vernal Utah. Let me tell you

3:42

something. When I go there you

3:45

can tell that that Ross caters

3:47

their items to the demographic.

3:50

Whatever's in that area and this is not

3:52

far from the UNTA basin where

3:55

there's like people that work in an oil

3:57

field. You're gonna get a lot of things

3:59

like Carhartts, a

4:01

lot of jackets

4:05

and vests and puffers and these kind of

4:07

things, but they have them in, you know,

4:09

lots of big and tall sizes because these

4:11

are like lumberjacks. These are like cowboy people,

4:13

like a lot of that, right? But

4:17

I discovered something there that's kind of a thing,

4:19

like I don't know if it's a new thing,

4:21

but it's newish to me, is

4:24

a shacket. Do you have

4:26

a shacket? Because I now have, I had to

4:28

get a new suitcase just to pack in all

4:30

the shackets to get them home. It's

4:34

basically a jacket that looks like a

4:36

shirt. So it's like a layering piece,

4:38

and I found so many

4:41

of them that I wanted from different

4:43

brands in different colors. I love wearing

4:45

Carhartt stuff or like Ben Davis, Dickie's

4:48

brand. You can get these, and it's

4:50

a shacket looks like a button-up shirt,

4:52

right? But it'll have like a

4:55

lining that is maybe insulated or it's

4:57

wool or it's sherpa, that

4:59

kind of thing. So you

5:02

can wear it over if you just want

5:04

to knock off the chill, but you don't need

5:06

like the full, like you don't need

5:08

the snowman, you know, you just need something.

5:10

Because the whole time we were there, it

5:12

was like 22 degrees, which sounds a lot

5:15

colder than it really is. Like it's bearable

5:17

to me, unless

5:19

there's wind, because then once the wind comes in,

5:21

it's a whole other story. But

5:24

the other thing that I like

5:26

about Utah, specifically going through the

5:28

smaller towns, is that there is

5:30

this pride in all of the

5:34

amenities that you would have at a liquor

5:37

store, a convenience store, or a

5:40

truck stop. So

5:46

you're getting like full coffee bars with

5:48

those little, the things that you

5:50

peel off and you like, I had no idea

5:52

that there was more than French vanilla. They had

5:55

a wall of them everywhere. Chocolate

5:57

cream, vanilla, half and half. a

6:00

sweetened this peppermint Grinch I mean they had

6:03

all of them and then

6:05

the other thing that blows my mind is you

6:07

are gonna get in these places a Coke

6:10

machine a Pepsi machine

6:12

an iced coffee machine a I

6:16

don't know icy kind of thing, but then

6:18

there's gonna be two containers and this is

6:20

at 7-eleven This is at

6:23

like an ampm type place, but I don't think

6:25

they have ampm there Maybe rocket or something but

6:27

my new favorite and it's been my new

6:29

favorite probably for 10 years is Maverick

6:32

you have to go to maverick whenever

6:34

you're there the bathrooms are gonna be

6:36

clean All these coffee options

6:38

are gonna be there Diet Coke Pepsi

6:42

products, but then you're also going to have

6:46

fully fresh brewed black iced

6:48

tea and fully fresh brewed

6:50

sweet tea sitting there like

6:52

they Replenish this these

6:54

people are not like you like they understand if

6:56

you've got time to lean you've got time to

6:59

clean They are taking a broom to this they

7:01

have so much pride in these stores It's like

7:03

when you go in you're not questioning like whether

7:05

or not like I up the street from here

7:07

when I leave here You know I'm gonna go

7:10

get a hot dog But I

7:12

always like I walked into the 7-elevens in

7:14

Southern, California And I'm like oh they need

7:16

to clean that oven you can smell it it

7:18

almost looks like jet fuel right So

7:20

that's why I'm like as much as I

7:22

love to get certain items I always think

7:24

to myself ooh if it's coming out of

7:27

the oven. I don't know they don't clean

7:29

those ovens I don't think but the roller

7:31

thing. I'm like whatever I guess it's probably

7:33

just as disgusting like this is how you

7:36

take your job to your career is By

7:39

taking pride in the things that you do maybe they're

7:41

rewarded and paid better I don't know I am

7:44

just saying that there's some sort of incentive

7:46

that has to be happening because the people

7:48

seem Very very happy that you're in the

7:50

store. I don't I rarely find somebody I

7:54

rarely go in and find someone on their Their

7:57

Bluetooth every time you go to a 7-eleven in Southern

8:00

California. People are on their Bluetooth and they're talking, oh, da,

8:02

da, da, da, da. And you think they're saying hello to

8:04

you and you're like, I'm sorry, what was that? And they're

8:06

like, I'm on my ear, my, on my earpiece. Stupid.

8:09

Hello. You go there

8:11

and they're like, good morning. Hi, how are you? Everything

8:13

is so correct. So I'm saying

8:15

the ISTE is not just at

8:18

Maverick or just at 7-11. It's

8:20

like all over. They are so

8:22

clean. The thing is, if

8:24

you fly into Salt Lake, I've told

8:26

you before the airport is crazy. It

8:28

is super spread out. I don't love

8:30

it that much. Although they

8:33

take some serious ass pride in

8:35

decorating for the holidays because everything,

8:37

you know, the signs that'll say

8:39

like, the Kipsey

8:42

flight 1045, Palm Springs,

8:44

1030, like there's like a zillion

8:46

of those. Every one of

8:49

them is covered in garland

8:51

and lights and bulbs. They

8:53

literally have like 15 foot

8:55

toy soldiers. Outside of every bathroom, there's

8:57

a fully decorated Christmas tree. I probably

8:59

told you this before. I just get

9:01

so excited because it's so beautiful. And

9:03

it, maybe I think this is like

9:06

a thing they do. So

9:08

you stop thinking about how far you fucking have to

9:10

walk through the airport. I mean, and maybe that's the

9:12

thing. So it's like a free Disneyland in a way

9:15

without naked people running around. Maybe that's what it

9:17

is. I don't know. I do

9:20

love that. So if you fly into Salt

9:22

Lake, you will enjoy the amenity. The bathrooms,

9:24

very nice. Those stuff, you ever go into

9:26

a bathroom stall and like you have to

9:28

take care of business? I know it's not

9:30

ideal to have to take a shit in

9:32

public, but sometimes it has to happen. And

9:34

you know, I would personally rather do it

9:36

in a stall than like in

9:38

a buffet. But you know, I don't always have

9:40

the option. In Salt

9:43

Lake, you have a private little, you

9:45

close it and there's no like little cracks where somebody

9:47

will walk up and go like, and

9:49

they'll see you in there. And you're

9:52

like, Oh my God, this is so embarrassing. Like,

9:54

or you can see people's feet as you walk

9:56

in, or if maybe somebody's like over six, three,

9:58

you can see the top of their head. and

10:00

you're like, oh, this is awkward. None of

10:02

that at Salt Lake Airport. Beautiful clean bathrooms,

10:04

doors top to bottom. The

10:07

other thing that they have, especially

10:09

at Maverick, is prepared food. So they have a

10:11

counter. Well, it depends on which one you go

10:13

to because some are a little smaller than others.

10:15

But the newer one in Vernal has, and it's

10:17

on the edge of the city. So you go

10:19

down the prairie and then you're right there at

10:21

the edge of the city. So

10:24

whether you're coming in or leaving town, you can stop at

10:26

this one. Clean bathrooms, a little

10:28

sitting area, because if you go

10:30

to the prepared food area, not only do they have

10:32

a thing that has like, we just made these burritos

10:35

here. Like, you know, when you go to some places

10:37

and they'll just have stuff that they heated up, and

10:39

it's fine, it's edible, there's nothing wrong with it. But

10:41

these, they have like a dude or

10:43

somebody making them and they roll them up and they wrap

10:45

them and they put the time and the date so you

10:48

know that they're gonna be right. But then you can also

10:50

go up to the counter and they've got stuff up there

10:52

that they can prepare for you. And

10:54

I ordered a sweet pork

10:56

burrito. I didn't order it from them to make

10:58

it. It was just in the thing. I

11:00

saw the guy putting them out, so I was like, oh,

11:03

that should be fresh. Baby, it was barbecued pork, okay,

11:06

with white rice and

11:09

black beans, whole black beans. And

11:11

then there was a bit of a sauce in it, but

11:13

I'm telling you right now, if you season the meat, right,

11:16

you don't need all these sauces. You don't

11:18

need all these flavored rices. You don't need,

11:20

the rice and the beans are just texture.

11:22

There's just like support. It's like a pillow

11:25

for the sweet pork. It

11:27

was absolutely delicious. It was so

11:29

good, it was so

11:32

good that I bought a second one, even

11:34

though I knew that I wasn't

11:38

gonna eat it right then and there. And I knew

11:40

that we were gonna be having family dinner, but I

11:42

thought, when I go back to the hotel, I can

11:44

put this in the refrigerator. And what happens if maybe,

11:46

I don't know, I decide I'm gonna stay in the

11:49

hotel for a while and I want something to eat.

11:51

I had a second burrito there and they were decent. I'm

11:54

telling you, it's like this. It was

11:56

like that. It was like that long and like,

11:59

I don't. I don't want to do a, you know what I mean? Anyway,

12:02

it was perfect. It was like, it was like,

12:06

she was like the size of like a

12:08

diet Coke can, like chubby and tall and

12:10

like not too tall. It was sickening. It

12:12

was so good. A sweet pork burrito.

12:14

What was the other thing, Mark? Refills.

12:17

And there's this honor system that happens because you

12:19

know, they know that you're gonna come in, you're

12:21

gonna get a drink. And I

12:23

love a place that's gonna have like something smallish. So

12:25

maybe like a 16 ounce for somebody

12:28

who's a normal human being and drinks a normal

12:30

amount of liquid. And then it goes 24, then

12:32

it goes 32, then

12:36

it goes 44, hold on, babe. There's a

12:38

64. There's

12:40

a 64. I need both hands to

12:42

drink like that. Of

12:45

course, I like to fill it up like super high with ice.

12:48

So you're probably getting like more like a 24 ounces

12:50

in it, but

12:52

that's fine. It doesn't matter. I just like the optics

12:54

of that. You know what I mean? Of course I

12:56

love a cruiser cup. But when you walk in and

12:59

you go get your soda or

13:01

your iced tea or or

13:04

chata from the thing and you

13:06

put your lid on and you put your straw and you

13:08

walk up, they on an honor system ask you, is

13:10

this a refill or is this a new one? And

13:13

I could easily just say like, oh, it's

13:16

a refill. And they'd be like, okay. And

13:18

then the, you know, the refills like, I don't know, 60

13:21

cents cheaper based on the size or whatever.

13:24

You could just lie to them. But the fact that they

13:26

trust me so much gives me and you

13:29

and everyone out there the reason to tell

13:31

the truth because they're willing to believe you

13:33

either way. Why wouldn't you want to tell

13:35

the truth? Sometimes I want to lie,

13:37

but I mean, you know. And

13:39

if you're a pig and you're only in

13:41

Salt Lake and you're going to be there

13:43

for a limited amount of time, be sure

13:45

that you get somewhere that sells Salt

13:48

Lake t-shirts or Salt Lake sweatshirts

13:50

or whatever, because inevitably you're going

13:52

to find the ones that say

13:54

Salt Lake, Utah, and they abbreviate

13:56

and it's SL,

13:59

comma, U

14:01

T sluts just

14:04

for you. Do you want to see me take

14:06

a break? Because I think you sluts want to see

14:08

me take a break. She

14:32

shoplifted a pair of dance

14:34

tights from Walmart. Welcome Sasha

14:36

Velour. Oh my goodness. My

14:38

greatest achievement. I'm so happy

14:40

you're here. I'm so happy to be here. Thank

14:42

you for having me. You are just completely done.

14:44

I mean, everyone, it's a

14:46

weird expectation to have for you to always

14:49

be so perfect, but you are always perfect.

14:51

Well, I am an outfit repeater. So it

14:53

was right once. That's good. It's right

14:55

the second time, but I wanted to match your

14:57

beautiful set here. You look perfect. And I didn't

14:59

realize it was going to be Christmas. It is

15:02

Christmas. And I feel bad

15:04

because there are people that don't celebrate

15:06

specifically Christmas. I think I just celebrate

15:08

decorations. That's right. You know what I

15:10

mean? I am a strip mall marshals.

15:15

What is it? The Tuesday Club at

15:18

Ross, which means anybody over 55. And

15:20

even though I'm not over 55, I can

15:23

convince them that I'm over 55. It was a

15:25

right outfit. Why not? You

15:27

stole dance tights. Well, dance tights are expensive.

15:30

They are. And I needed

15:32

a pair because I was

15:34

just starting to try drag. And so I

15:37

went into Walmart, a place that I

15:40

think I think they're prepared for a little shoplifting, to

15:42

be honest. I think they know it comes with the

15:44

territory. I think so. And I did. I was

15:47

really low on cash, but I had

15:49

a dream and a wish in

15:51

my heart. And so I stuffed those tights

15:54

under my baggy t-shirt and I

15:56

walked out with confidence. Yeah. And

15:58

I don't really recommend. stealing but

16:01

it was a good feeling. Well you

16:03

know they were donating I think donating

16:05

to the arts if I see some

16:08

sweet queer baby stealing types I

16:10

didn't see it either. You're like you need them.

16:13

You need them. You do. I do. You do

16:15

absolutely. What's the last thing you stole? The last

16:17

thing I stole I think was in college. I

16:19

know what like why college like you should know

16:22

better but I had a

16:24

friend that dared me

16:26

to steal a wallet

16:29

and the wallet was on the counter like they were

16:31

selling wallets to steal the wallets that they were selling

16:33

and the thing was like it wasn't even for the

16:35

value of it it was to see if you had

16:37

the nerve to do it but I was fucking in

16:39

college like I was 18 years old I should have

16:42

known better than that and

16:44

it was at a JC penny that

16:46

is still very near the home my

16:48

home now and I've gone into

16:51

that JC penny since then and I remember at

16:53

that time they were like you'll never be allowed

16:55

in this store again how dare you like and

16:58

I remember still feeling like frightened

17:00

because I'm like oh my god I have to

17:02

go to Sephora inside JC penny. Wait so they

17:04

caught you. They caught me. No they took me

17:06

down into the thing the recesses and my friend

17:09

Christine Christine Pefer if you're watching this she was

17:11

just sitting there like oh my god what are

17:13

we gonna do like because you're over 18 they

17:15

could just call your parents. No you might get

17:17

in trouble. It was a you know don't do

17:20

that again but still it was so embarrassing because

17:22

I do consider myself a

17:24

trustworthy person but it was just a lapse

17:26

in judgment. You should just be embarrassed you

17:28

didn't get away with that. I would have

17:30

thought you would have snatched it. I know I know you know

17:32

I have lots of places to

17:34

hide things but I don't I just can't get

17:37

away fast enough that's the problem they'll

17:39

always stop me. I have this question

17:41

I'm sure a lot of people do. Who

17:44

cleans the house of Velour? I am

17:49

the cleaner of the house we

17:51

just had a cleaning

17:54

company come for the very first time and

17:56

it was I cleaned up ahead of time.

17:58

You have to. I was

18:01

like, the surfaces need to be cleaned so

18:04

they can access all the things. I have a lot

18:06

of tchotchkes out in the house. My

18:10

others. Yeah, no violet tchotchkes. She's

18:12

welcome anytime. And yeah, it

18:14

was great. I

18:19

didn't know the house could get that clean,

18:21

which makes me really embarrassed about my

18:23

cleaning abilities. Do you, like

18:25

some people take pleasure in certain

18:27

repetitious things like mopping, sweeping, folding

18:30

laundry. Is there a thing that is therapeutic for you

18:32

at all or not really? I

18:35

love the smell of laundry. Oh, me too.

18:37

I don't like folding it, but I do love taking

18:41

it in as a machine. We have laundry

18:43

machines, which is very unusual in New York

18:45

City. So that was

18:47

a big treat. And I'll do the towels,

18:49

the shower curtain, the bath mat, having that

18:51

just fresh. I have not had a cleaning

18:53

crew come in, although I thought about it

18:55

because I just think the baseboards

18:57

could be cleaner than that. I

19:00

could be doing a little more than

19:02

that. It was the tub transformation that

19:04

truly blew my mind, like sparkling white.

19:07

And they used magic erasers, which is like

19:09

all, you know what those are, right? Like

19:11

the Mr. Clean or whatever? On

19:13

everything. On everything. It didn't

19:15

like erase. I have makeup stains on like all the

19:17

things. Oh, the shower always gets like that. Especially

19:20

like from makeup remover, I think because

19:22

there's like petroleum or whatever inside of

19:24

it. Just on the ground and then

19:26

any like orangy makeup or maybe

19:28

like if you're walking around barefoot and your

19:31

feet get like, you know, black underneath or

19:33

whatever. It presses in. Right.

19:35

Right. Yeah. That transformation sounds

19:38

sick, man. Yeah, that was good. Um, tell me

19:40

if this is gross, but I like to take

19:42

my makeup off sometimes in a bath. Is

19:44

that weird? No, I don't think that's gross at all.

19:47

I was a little tired after being a drag. I

19:49

want to just kind of soak and yeah, lowly scrub

19:51

at it. But then the ring, it's like

19:54

the Sasha Velour residue. Right. It's

19:56

just there. Right. What color is

19:59

that? Like a the

20:01

dark contour usually the back of my

20:03

head color. Do you contour and highlight?

20:06

With like cream or do you deal with powder because

20:09

I don't know how to do cream and I admire

20:11

anybody that does Oh, yeah, I cream. I have no

20:13

idea how to control that at all,

20:15

but you always look perfect. Thank you I appreciate

20:17

it. But it's just with the with a powder.

20:19

I know how to do I

20:22

don't know any and somebody like came for me and

20:24

I was like, you know what? You probably have every

20:26

right to come for me because they were talking about

20:28

brows and sometimes I use my own brows And sometimes

20:30

I'll block my brows Depending upon how

20:32

much room I have for a wig, right? Um,

20:35

and this person was like, well, you just keep stamping on

20:37

those brows and I thought you know what? They are fucking

20:39

right. I do keep stamping on the same shape Because

20:42

I just get stuck. You know what I mean?

20:44

It's hard I'll try to change something and I'll

20:46

be like, okay. I'm gonna do a completely Different

20:49

eye shape and it turns out exactly

20:51

the same. It was my hand. It's all I

20:53

can do Yeah, you know what works for you?

20:56

um, not everybody knows but they should know

20:58

that you got the name velour from Um

21:01

vegas in space You've

21:04

seen that movie. Do you love I

21:06

love that movie so much Yeah, and

21:08

a shoplifter in vegas in space is

21:10

the origin of my name babs velour

21:13

and um I just I love the

21:15

name babs velour. Yeah, I probably should have just gone

21:17

with that you could have but I kept my My

21:20

real first name, which is sasha Yeah, always was called

21:22

and people made fun of me for having a girl's

21:24

name So I was like now it's working for me

21:27

You've been really high profile recently and

21:29

what I mean by that is like

21:32

so visible I feel like no

21:34

matter an algorithm or whatever people can click

21:36

but when you left drag race I think

21:38

immediately got on doing sort of this Like

21:42

it was almost like uh, I don't want to

21:44

say not doing anything because that's not the case You were doing

21:46

nightgowns. You were doing so many things that nobody else was doing

21:48

but it was like you were just Uh

21:50

marching to the beat of your own drum. Was this

21:53

like something? Is it I didn't know

21:55

that I wouldn't think that but what was that

21:57

I just knew exactly what I wanted to do

22:00

with the crown and I wanted

22:03

to keep doing the stuff I had been doing.

22:05

That was drag to me. It was my show

22:07

and I dreamed of... It

22:09

took like a couple years of working on

22:12

my drag to get it, I think at

22:14

a level where I felt confident doing a

22:16

solo show. I didn't really feel like I

22:18

had the materials or the skills for that.

22:21

Now finally I'm taking my own

22:23

performances and touring the world with

22:25

that. Second time I did smoke

22:27

and mirrors starting in 2019 and

22:30

then you know a pandemic

22:32

with that. So that delayed everything. But

22:36

yeah. It's just so exciting

22:38

because you know I feel like all the

22:40

winners have something different and then I mean

22:42

everybody has something different but it's nice to

22:44

see when people bring something to the table

22:46

that maybe somebody else didn't bring or didn't

22:48

fully do and you just have this sophistication

22:50

in what you do but there's also you

22:54

know you are somebody who is

22:56

self-facing. You'll look at something and go

22:58

I want this to present well. I want my hard

23:00

work to happen. I want a lot of people to

23:02

come along with me and showcase them but you're also

23:04

willing to also put forth

23:07

like these are things I find funny

23:09

about myself. These are silly things. Like you don't

23:11

you can take what you do so seriously but

23:13

not yourself. I'm learning more and more how important

23:15

it is to not take yourself too seriously. I

23:18

think you've always been that way. That's what I've

23:20

always gotten from you. Oh thank you. Yeah for

23:22

sure. That was when I was filming Drag Race.

23:24

That was a big message. Don't be too serious

23:26

but I found sometimes when

23:29

you're not so serious you can take moments that

23:32

really matter. But now you

23:34

are in the new season which

23:38

we're gagging for the new

23:40

season of We're Here. Oh I'm

23:42

so excited. Yeah. It is literally like

23:44

a dream to be a part

23:46

of that show because I love the style of

23:48

performances that they do with the with the drag

23:51

babies. They like they always

23:53

put their part of their biography

23:55

or some like kind of

23:57

really emotional part of their story into a

23:59

process. That's what I love to

24:01

do myself. And

24:03

then they're into the gags too.

24:06

I feel like that's my thing.

24:09

Was there anything general that was like scary

24:12

about filming this, traveling with

24:14

this? I was,

24:16

okay, I was really worried that I

24:19

wasn't funny enough. Oh, okay.

24:21

To be honest with you, because like, you know, Bob Schandle

24:23

and Eureka are such comedy queens

24:26

at heart. I was worried that like,

24:30

same thing we were saying, like, am I going to be too

24:32

serious for the show? But I feel like

24:34

when I actually got to meet the drag daughters, it meant

24:36

so much to them that I was just

24:39

being a real person. And that we really

24:41

had that connection. And having someone

24:43

who really listened to them meant they

24:45

could open up and felt comfortable. I think I was

24:47

a good drag mom. I was surprised. I did not

24:49

think I could be anyone's drag mom. Really? But

24:52

maybe I'm gonna start adopting now. Do you not

24:54

have drag children? I don't. You said you're my

24:56

drag sister because I don't know what I'm doing.

24:58

It's hard. I mean, I even say that like

25:00

with other people that like, I identify

25:02

like a lot of people as a

25:05

drag mentor, but I'm like, I don't want

25:07

to like, say that person was my drag

25:09

mother because they were sort of my drag

25:11

mother of this aspect. And this

25:14

person was my drag mother of that aspect. You

25:16

know, it says that Coco Peru is your drag

25:18

mother. Very much so. Yeah, like

25:20

Coco identifies as someone who just has

25:23

a lot of babies. But

25:26

it's still so thin. Someone

25:30

like Coco or someone like Raja even who's like my

25:32

sister, but in many ways was my

25:35

mother along with me because she was doing drag probably

25:37

a good eight years before I was, but we are

25:39

very similar in age. She's only like two years older

25:41

than I am. It's just she started

25:43

before I did. And so,

25:46

you know, I revere her in that way,

25:48

but I also revere her as my sister

25:50

and also like my brother and my friend.

25:52

So it's hard to like lay that

25:54

down, I think, but I think

25:57

anybody wants to be your drag daughter. Oh,

26:00

okay. What

26:04

was there any aspects you would say of the filming

26:06

that were like besides that was there any like Physical

26:09

fear being in these small town. Yeah.

26:12

Yeah, I mean you have to

26:14

remember like There's a certain

26:16

safety in being with a crew sure cuz

26:18

you're not really alone. It may look alone

26:20

on camera, but Then sometimes

26:23

we would just get left Like

26:25

the crew would pack up their cameras and go and I'm

26:28

just like they're driving myself In

26:31

a place that I've just heard about someone

26:33

like being attacked or something. Sure. Sure So

26:35

that's fresh in my mind and I'm walking

26:38

back to the car, but it was fine.

26:40

Nothing nothing happened I mean we

26:42

got slurs shouted at us. We got lots

26:44

of nasty looks off the comments about us

26:48

Being Satan worshippers and going to hell but that's

26:50

you know, that's a Tuesday. Let's take a break You

27:15

Do you like oranges on your salad

27:18

tell us your story Send a letter

27:20

to read me [email protected] Sasha

27:22

do you like oranges on your salad for

27:24

a grapefruit? Really? Yeah, I like that tartness

27:26

you do orange doesn't do it for me

27:28

No, yeah, do you like

27:30

fruit in general on a on a vegetable salad?

27:33

Or is it like just certain garnishes just like

27:35

a little just like a little pinch of I

27:37

love citrus on the salad You do lemon juice.

27:39

Mm-hmm, but orange isn't tart

27:41

enough. How about you? Um,

27:44

I I don't think I've ever put oranges on

27:46

my salad But I do love oranges in a

27:48

fruit salad. Yeah but

27:51

I do and this is probably a

27:53

lot of people are gonna be bothered by this because it's

27:55

like such a Meme worthy thing.

27:57

I like raisins on my salad

28:00

salad and a lot of people think that's

28:02

gross because of the the sort

28:04

of um there's

28:06

this philosophy that people are like oh it's so white

28:08

to put raisins in potato salad and I don't think

28:10

it's just white I think it's just gross because I

28:12

don't want that in my potato salad but on a

28:15

green salad like if I'm making a salad bar salad

28:17

I totally have to have raisins. Oh yeah they do

28:19

always have raisins on the salad bar but I've never

28:21

tried it. It's kind of old lady. I always go

28:23

for the seeds. I like that. Oh I love that.

28:27

Do you like carrot raisin salad? Is

28:30

it just carrots and raisins? It's just carrots and raisins

28:32

and probably like a... I don't know how to carrot

28:34

raisin salad. I'm not a big fan.

28:36

No. I used to not like cooked

28:39

carrots like like say baby carrots cooked. I used to

28:41

not like that. Oh I don't like that. I'm not

28:43

a big the biggest. I'll eat it if it's like

28:45

in a pot roast. Yes. But I like the as

28:48

soon as something starts to lose its color a little

28:50

bit like it doesn't taste as good

28:52

to me. I like

28:54

the peas when you cook the peas. Do you

28:56

eat peas? I like a like a pea

29:00

in a salad. Not

29:03

that. When you were planning

29:05

your lip sync for the finale of Drag

29:07

Race was there ever a

29:09

version where you pulled up

29:12

your wig and Starbucks almond

29:14

croissant fell out? Yeah they'd have to

29:16

first be in the glove because I

29:21

think it's like the the storytelling. It

29:24

needs it. Yeah you need maybe I come out with one

29:26

in a bag and then it falls on

29:28

the ground and then I'm heartbroken. And

29:30

then I find more inside my wig. So

29:34

emotional. I was thinking this about you

29:36

last week when I knew that you

29:38

would be here. Fragrance do

29:40

you wear? Or what kind of... I change

29:43

it up. You do. I think you should

29:45

go with the outfit. I love that. Yeah.

29:47

What fragrance do you wear? I change it

29:49

up also but usually my go-to if I

29:51

have to grab one bottle of something it

29:54

would be used to by Estee Lauder which is...

29:57

I don't know what that smells like. So it's

29:59

extremely... heavy and sometimes when I

30:01

wear it people are like are you wearing old

30:03

spice it originally started as

30:05

a bath oil for women in the 50s

30:08

by Estee Lauder and then they decided they

30:10

would make it a fragrance out of it

30:12

but it's still the same bottle with a

30:14

little gold bow and they have a dusting

30:16

powder during the holidays I

30:18

wonder if they have it now they'll still sell a

30:20

perfume solid do you like perfume solids I do I

30:23

like them I do I love anything yeah

30:26

there's rich I put it on

30:28

my pubes sometimes well you're not

30:30

the only one so neat was

30:32

so neat telling us about no

30:35

Carmen was telling us Carmen Carrera was here

30:37

she was saying that she had a fragrance

30:39

for her her behind behind her

30:41

knees and she mixes them so you put that on

30:43

your pubes follow it down like a dog it

30:48

does I love that

30:51

what would be something that like if you were

30:53

going to pick something for this have you ever

30:55

mixed your own fragrance no I would

30:57

like to go to a place where you can do that

30:59

I did that I'm wearing one though I use what

31:02

did you like to put in it I put Tonka

31:05

and a little rosemary

31:09

and then something called barn wood smells

31:12

like dirt and like hay okay

31:14

and just a little bit of

31:16

that a little bit of something

31:18

that doesn't smell great uh-huh but

31:21

gives you some something to think about okay I

31:24

love that in my sense that makes a lot

31:26

of sense because people always put what's the leaf

31:28

that people always put in like a soup a

31:31

bay leaf bay leaf oh yeah right and doesn't taste

31:33

great and that and that was the thing I looked

31:35

up the other day why are we putting bay leaf

31:37

and all these Thanksgiving recipes and it's said that the

31:40

and I'm not a chef and so if you were

31:42

a chef and you're watching this I'm not trying to

31:44

you can correct me because I don't know but the

31:46

Google of it said it enhances

31:48

the flavors of the other thing so

31:50

like you're saying it gives that earthiness

31:52

like probably underneath yeah for everything to

31:54

like dance that is sickening

31:56

what would you put in yours oh

31:58

I something leather for for sure. I

32:01

have to have that in there.

32:03

I love cinnamon, I love clove,

32:05

I love a Bulgarian rose

32:09

because it's creamy. So I

32:11

love Bulgarian rose a lot. Rose is a

32:14

hard scent. After drag race I felt like

32:16

I should be wearing rose scent,

32:19

but I don't like the way it smells.

32:21

Yeah, so if you get a Bulgarian, it's

32:24

much more like a creamier and mysterious, whereas

32:26

the rose smells like the rose, but the

32:28

Bulgarian rose, it's kind of like, if

32:31

you can imagine something earthy and

32:35

vanilla-y, but then pinky, like

32:38

pink pepper kind of. Yeah, it's

32:40

sickening. And it's not rose,

32:42

you're not getting rose. Look at

32:44

the shot. Do you have any plans

32:46

to make your book The Big Reveal

32:48

into a film, maybe starring Jean

32:51

Smart? I don't know. She

32:54

can do anything. She can. She'd be great. No,

32:58

I don't think it would be a good film. You

33:00

don't think so? No, it would be a terrible film.

33:02

If you could cast someone as you, anyone?

33:05

Oh, what a fun question. I think about that. I

33:07

don't have anybody. I can't think of that. Yeah, I

33:09

can't. I don't think. I would cast myself, of course.

33:12

Of course. I'll be too old

33:14

to play myself. I'm invited for Hollywood. I

33:16

don't think so. I don't think so. You're

33:18

like very cool. Do

33:22

you have a specific skincare, or do

33:24

you just try out different things? I'll

33:27

just try different things. I always feel like I don't

33:29

know what I'm doing. I never know what I'm doing.

33:31

It can be fun. Lotions and

33:33

potions. Be nice. I always feel

33:35

like the sad part for me

33:37

is that I will go buy something new

33:39

when I'm like, oh, my face is feeling

33:42

dry. And I think that's not the time.

33:44

I should have done it before and used

33:46

the bottle. Right? What

33:48

do they always say? If a doctor

33:50

prescribes medicine, they're like, take it till

33:53

the bottle is done. Right? And some

33:55

people are like, I feel better. I don't need to take anymore. And

33:57

then they get sick again. That's the same thing with the skin cream.

33:59

Right. Exactly. You're supposed to know these things. You

34:01

are young and beautiful. Well,

34:04

you can't take skin care advice

34:06

from young people because

34:08

they don't have problematic skin. I guess that's true. So

34:11

anything works. They can just spray on that and, you

34:13

know, oil here, exfoliate,

34:16

and their face will survive it. I

34:19

was asking you about, or talking about

34:21

the bay leaf, and we're like in

34:23

the season where everybody's like, cooking, friendsgiving,

34:25

Christmas, are you somebody who likes to

34:27

cook? No, I don't like

34:29

to cook at all. I like to arrange the food

34:31

on a plate. Oh, you're just... Which is perfect for

34:34

if we get takeout and I'll arrange it, but my

34:36

partner cooks. Johnny is

34:38

an amazing cook. And then I'll

34:40

plate it up first. I love

34:42

that. And I do the dishes. Oh, okay.

34:44

That's fair. That's fair. I

34:46

like that. My family always

34:49

used to be like, whoever wasn't cooking would help with

34:51

the dishes, or that kind of thing. But that's when

34:53

I was younger, and now the younger kids in the

34:55

family are like, we're not doing that. And now that

34:57

I'm older, I'm like, oh, well, I brought what I was

34:59

supposed to bring. I'm not doing any of the dishes. So

35:01

no one does with this. Right. I think I don't even

35:03

know who ended up doing dishes this year. What

35:06

would you bring to eat that you cook? Well,

35:10

just because I'm a huge fan of it, I

35:13

love sweet potatoes or yams or a mix of

35:15

bowls. And I'm totally on board with like a

35:18

quote unquote healthier option or like

35:20

a totally decadent option, because

35:22

I like the actual taste of them. So,

35:24

you know, if it's just a traditional like

35:26

marshmallow, I'm down for it. Yeah. Or

35:29

if we're going to do something that's got cranberry in

35:31

it and maybe something savory mixed with it, I'm down

35:33

for that. And if it's just straight out of

35:35

the can, I'm happy. You

35:37

know what I mean? Like the can pureed sweet

35:39

potatoes. I'll eat it. Will you eat it? You

35:41

won't eat it. No, I won't eat that. Really? Will you do

35:44

like side-to-side? I don't like side-to-side. That's fine. I

35:46

like it baked. I like mashed potatoes.

35:48

I love mashed potatoes. Okay. Yeah. That's the

35:50

one thing I can cook. Okay. If we're fixing your

35:52

plate, if we're fixing your plate and all the options

35:54

of all the things are there, what are you going

35:57

to put on your plate at a holiday dinner? I

36:00

don't want to say Thanksgiving because not everybody would

36:02

wants to revere that and I totally understand why

36:04

we're not doing that But

36:06

at a holiday this time of year, okay all

36:10

the sides and

36:12

because I'm a pescatarian I Don't

36:15

eat. Tell me more. Tell me I

36:18

have to check my teeth Tell me about being a

36:20

pescatarian before we go any further because I love this

36:22

well, I love fish. Uh-huh and But

36:25

I don't I don't even like the taste of me.

36:27

Mm-hmm like Even as

36:29

a kid, okay, and I found disgusting.

36:31

Mm-hmm I don't understand why but I

36:34

think it's just it's not for me. Yeah So

36:38

I eat mostly vegetarian and then every now and then

36:40

a little fish I Love

36:42

that. I've always said if I wasn't fucking

36:45

lazy and

36:48

Unwilling to try I would be

36:50

the best Vegan because I taste

36:52

vegan food like somebody will be like,

36:54

oh, here's a vegan lunch when I

36:56

was working on drag race Natasha

36:59

who is ruse like personal assistant She's

37:02

vegan and she would always order and she'd

37:05

be like I'm gonna order you something and

37:07

I swear to God The

37:09

best meals I ever had in my

37:11

life were the ones that she ordered

37:14

from the vegan restaurant It can be

37:16

amazingly flavorful and I'm like, do you know how

37:18

like your life will probably change if you just Even

37:21

if I didn't have to cook them if I just ordered

37:23

from the goddamn restaurant I

37:25

could fly I Could it's

37:27

so good. It's so good. It's such

37:29

a good principle Anyway, regardless of the

37:31

taste the principles behind that are beautiful.

37:34

Yeah, exactly Like it's not sustainable to

37:36

be killing right right things every time

37:38

we even the humor official day I

37:40

do but you know, they're small brains

37:50

You And

38:09

we are back with Sasha Velour. And this

38:11

is the part of the luxury

38:14

access, luxury access

38:17

podcast, YouTube talk show,

38:21

audio format. These are all words I just

38:23

throw out and then they'll figure it out

38:25

later. They'll fix it in the edit, right?

38:27

In the edit. I always think that. It's

38:29

where we open letters and we call it

38:31

Read Me Delta. So people will send in letters. You

38:35

can send

38:37

questions about Christmas tree decorations or repurposing

38:40

or how to clean velour,

38:47

which I don't really know how you clean. You

38:49

have on velvet now. Yeah, you can. This

38:52

is velour. Oh, it's velour. You

38:54

can throw that in the washer. You can. Oh,

38:57

yeah. You don't have to wash it that much. No.

38:59

Yes. The first time. No,

39:03

just by itself. All right. So we

39:05

have a first letter that's in here. It came

39:07

in. Oh, landed. A

39:09

sleigh. A sleigh. Sleigh. Sleigh the

39:11

world. Sleigh sis, it's Christmas. All right, let's see

39:14

what this says. Again, you can send these letters.

39:16

Sometimes I say send comments and observations. I'm

39:18

going to send you a letter. I'm going to send you a letter. I'm

39:20

going to send you a letter. I'm going to send you a letter. I'm going

39:22

to send you a letter. I

39:27

don't want you to send comments because honestly, you'll

39:29

send them and then they'll just be read. You

39:31

know what I mean? We

39:34

have mirrors. We really do. We know

39:36

what's wrong. And this is the best

39:38

I can do. Honestly, today, like every day

39:40

I look and I'm like, God, this could

39:42

be very improved. I know it, but this

39:44

is my capability. Like this is where I'm

39:46

at. Hi

39:48

Delta and fanciful friend. Who

39:51

should be the next host of the U.S. edition of

39:53

RuPaul's Drag Race top three

39:55

best Pluto delight? That's

39:58

a good question. Who

40:00

should be the next? Next host if

40:02

RuPaul decides that they don't want

40:04

to host anymore. Oh. Which,

40:06

you know, I don't know. Do you think that would ever

40:08

happen? I don't know. I don't think that would happen. I

40:11

always think just from the bit of the couple

40:14

of seasons that I got to work behind the

40:16

camera, that

40:20

it does seem, I think, to people that like,

40:22

oh, it must be easy. But I mean, RuWork's

40:24

really, really hard. And it is

40:27

taxing. Even just a simple thing, like the

40:31

idea of eating throughout the day. Oh,

40:34

we can't eat normally. Yeah. And RuPaul is like,

40:36

I'm not going to do that. Like, she'll have

40:38

coffee or whatever. But like, she just can't because

40:40

she's got to get into outfits, just as you

40:42

said, as a contestant. But

40:44

who do you think would be willing to

40:46

do that kind of stamina, have that stamina? I

40:49

think Bianca would do it and would be great.

40:54

Who would you choose? I mean,

40:56

what about you? I mean, you would be great. Oh,

40:58

no. I think so. I'm

41:00

bad with the critiques. I just hope. Well, the host doesn't

41:03

really have to choose. I guess you can just be positive

41:05

and let the people on the side of you say the

41:07

mean things. Yeah, RuPaul just kisses it off. Right? That was

41:09

a change, though, right? She used to be. I

41:11

think so, yes. She's in. I think it has

41:13

to really get to her to then

41:16

have to say something. Because it has. We've seen

41:18

it happen. All right. So we have another letter. Here.

41:21

This is a stocking that

41:23

says Happy Holidays, Russ. Russ,

41:26

we have your stocking. I

41:30

don't know where Russ is, but

41:33

we have a stocking. Are

41:37

you what? What kind of letter opener? Thank you.

41:39

I collect them. What? When

41:43

you leave here today, are you going to have lunch

41:46

or did you already have lunch? I

41:48

had some scrambled eggs. Only

41:50

a brunch, if you will. But

41:53

yeah, I mean, I'm going to eat. Thank God. That's

41:55

not enough. You need to have something else. It wasn't. It

41:57

was. It didn't hit the spot. You're going to be

41:59

hungry. You're probably not gonna go with

42:01

me to 7-Eleven and get a hot dog. Are

42:03

you? No, I can't

42:05

do a hot dog. But what

42:08

is a fish hot dog? I would do that I

42:10

wonder if they have tuna hot dogs I

42:15

need it should be like a lobster hot dog

42:17

like a lobster roll lobster Dear

42:20

Delta my question is for Sasha So they knew

42:22

at some point you were gonna be here honestly

42:24

these these some of these letters bank and people

42:26

will like say I Hope so and so is

42:28

gonna be on so they visit been around I

42:32

Have a double XL pink

42:34

mini mouse pajama top that

42:37

I recently begun wearing during the day I

42:39

just stopped taking it off when I leave

42:41

the house My question for Sasha is

42:43

this would you consider this a

42:45

nightgown or am I just cynically

42:47

depressed sincerely very? Andante

42:52

That's a nightgown. That's a nightgown

42:54

aren't beautiful They

42:57

are comfortable. Do you

42:59

do you wear nightgown? Um,

43:01

I have a couple kind of stretched

43:03

out tank tops. Okay that are

43:05

my sleeping apartment of choice And

43:09

despite my show being called nightgowns, I

43:12

don't think I've really worn a nightgown in drag

43:15

Would you wear a pin? Wah? Oh, yes.

43:17

I love it. I see you a little

43:19

other. Yeah a little Marabou on it Yeah,

43:21

normally we do two letters, but we have

43:24

a surprise In

43:26

this little box right here. People are

43:28

crazy. Are they handwritten letters? Sometimes

43:31

they are and sometimes I these particular

43:33

letters have not been sent in beautiful

43:36

stationery, but sometimes they are sometimes they

43:39

come here and the The

43:42

gal Friday who works at the desk Will

43:44

say you have some handwritten letters that came in

43:49

Okay, well, oh It's

43:51

a picture. Okay. This is a good one dear

43:54

Delta and guest. Do you think this bear

43:57

is gay? Oh,

44:00

definitely. It's

44:03

the Charmin bear. Yes. I'm trying to patch

44:06

it together properly. I think it goes like

44:08

that. Is the Charmin bear gendered? Well,

44:11

it's blue. So I think they're sending us

44:13

a message. And it has a

44:15

flower. So I think the message is that's a gay

44:18

man. I think that's what I'm trying to

44:20

say. I would think so, but I mean, I

44:23

say that that bear could

44:25

be non-binary. I think

44:27

that bear could be so

44:29

many different things. Yeah, we

44:31

can't assume because the bear

44:33

hasn't shared. And we can't blame it

44:35

for being blue because

44:37

it was born that way. But we can

44:39

blame it for liking blue. You

44:42

know what I mean? For over-identifying with just one corner.

44:44

Do you have a certain type of toilet paper that

44:46

you'd like to buy for your home? No,

44:49

I haven't figured one out yet. No, it's

44:51

not Charmin. You're not like, I have to have Charmin. No. Is

44:54

there a one that's better, do you think? I

44:56

feel like you would have an opinion on that. I

44:59

do. I think if you get

45:01

the store brand of what's supposed

45:03

to be like the Charmin Extra

45:05

Soft, it's usually pretty good and that's

45:07

at Target. Okay, that's not right. So I usually go

45:09

for that. And then I like to have moistened

45:14

towelettes to use afterwards if you don't

45:16

have access to a bidet. Yes.

45:19

You know what I mean? Oh my gosh, that's so fancy. Yeah,

45:21

you have to have that. And do flush them. I do.

45:24

And we have a septic system. I know that will eventually be a

45:26

problem. But for now, it's not

45:28

really my problem. You know, for years I

45:30

lived in an apartment. So

45:32

anytime there was any kind of plumbing issue, I would

45:35

think like it could never be us because

45:37

there's people with babies here and they're probably

45:39

flushing diapers or whatever. But

45:42

now we recently moved into our

45:44

own house. And so that is

45:46

like, these are things that

45:48

are now your responsibility. I

45:50

don't want that. In some countries, they like don't

45:52

even let you flush toilet paper. Right. And

45:55

even some places in New York City, they say like our plumbing

45:57

can't handle it. Like you need to take your

46:00

poopy toilet paper and put it in

46:02

this trash can. You

46:04

can't be serious. Very serious. I like a

46:06

nice restaurant in New York. Stop it. Yes.

46:10

And do you just open the lid and it's like,

46:13

no fucking way. It's not

46:15

the setting. And I don't know what

46:17

to do because I don't want to do that, but I

46:19

also don't want to be the cause of the plumbing break.

46:22

Right. What if you just shit on

46:24

the walls or you just like fucking do it? Well, that's what

46:26

I do. That's the only option. Like an animal. Exactly. Wipe

46:29

my ass on your wallpaper. Do you have pets? I

46:32

have one dog. Oh, tell me. His

46:34

name is Vanya. He's an Italian Greyhound, which

46:36

is a little mini Greyhounds. He's

46:39

so sweet. Very quiet. I already know

46:41

it. I already know. And he just

46:43

like he sits and he folds his

46:45

little wrist very

46:47

limply and he crosses them and just looks

46:49

at us. Oh, I bet

46:51

he has the best home with you with the two of

46:53

you. I bet. You know, because

46:56

I love an Italian Greyhound and I say this

46:58

because I used to watch the dog shows. I

47:00

love watching those and they bring out a whip

47:02

it. I

47:05

love a whip it. And

47:07

so it reminds me of that streamlined

47:10

little baby body. This is very

47:12

loving. Yeah, I always thought kind of standoffish

47:14

and weird, but no, they're so, so just

47:16

proper and well. And that sounds like a

47:19

that your dog sounds like the perfect fit

47:21

for your family. I mean, honestly, you know,

47:23

you look at people and you're like, what

47:25

would that person look like if they were

47:27

this kind of a bird or whatever? Oh,

47:30

my gosh, that makes so much sense. Do you have

47:32

a cat? I have cats. I have two cats. We're

47:34

probably going to get a dog too. I have

47:37

two cats, Tango and Cha Cha. My partner is

47:39

a former ballroom dancer. So yeah, so I had

47:41

to have a thing. So Vanya's samba. Yeah. So

47:44

there's waltz. There's sweet. I love it. Thank

47:47

you for being here. Thank you for having me. This

47:49

is so, so fun. You are just as lovely as

47:51

anybody. This is really my first. I mean, of course,

47:53

I've seen you in person, but never sat

47:56

down to chitchat. I know I could do this

47:58

all day. I'll be fine. much.

including my big reveal live show

48:32

tour, which is coming to Europe

48:35

in 2024. And where does

48:37

that kick off? Kicks off in

48:39

London. Sickening. Yeah, it's going to

48:41

be sickening. I'm really excited. I'm going to the

48:43

Palladium and the Follies Bergere. Stop

48:46

it! Yes, Josephine Baker's

48:48

mirror. Yeah, yeah. She literally

48:51

saw herself naked. This is where I'm going to

48:53

look at myself. Are your earrings on your

48:56

ears or are they? Yeah, they're on my ears. I

48:58

thought maybe they were on your headpiece. You know, that

49:01

probably would be more comfortable. I saw a fashion show

49:03

where they did that in the 90s. They just attached

49:05

it to the to the actual wig. I

49:07

mean, if you're moving fast enough, he's gonna. Right.

49:09

Yeah. But I mean, we're not really wild. Then I

49:11

do a wig reveal and it just the earrings fly

49:13

off with it. Do you have like, would you just

49:15

like, are you gonna do you have like a pussycat

49:18

doll number that you're gonna do on the tour

49:20

or not? That's probably not your speed. No, I

49:22

should. That'd be cute. You could kill it. It'd

49:25

be surprising. You know, what's interesting is when people

49:27

think of certain people, they're like, oh, no, that

49:29

person wouldn't do that. And it's like, maybe I

49:31

wouldn't do that. But it doesn't mean that they

49:33

can't do that. I'm so contrary.

49:35

Now, I if someone says that to me, then I

49:37

want to try it. Sure. No, totally. Totally. I think

49:40

that's the mark. It's like being able to wrap yourself

49:42

around it and be like, I can show you how

49:44

I can do it. We

49:46

know how to put our own. Yeah, you put your own spin on

49:48

it. You can also follow the

49:51

show on Instagram and TikTok at VeryDelta, because if

49:57
