in exactly two short weeks I'll be joining the North and South American legs of the work the world it is literally the biggest drag show in the galaxy I know and being a part of this tour grants me the privilege of seeing the most amazing and beautiful places and much of the continental United States stuffing my face with in-and-out burger and going to great cities like Atlanta Toronto Sao Paulo New Jersey I know New Jersey and this year's theme is space and I'm portraying the pink planet of Uranus a planet and goat did you hear that sorry Jesus a planet engulfed in feathers and imbued with magic and you probably think to yourself and this can't get any gayer well surprise [ __ ] because each seed comes with a free ticket to the Prince George's first ballet recital okay yeah thank you for clapping that was a joke for me I appreciate that but today is a great show we have a great show plan for you today because the hilarious an amazing ginger Minj and jinkx monsoon are both air they're all about their new shells data do but first let's get into the gig [Music] I know there's lots of ice look at all that ice Rhossili all the ice [ __ ] yes thank you Kate thank you thank you de Geer sir we've got a lot of comments on comments compliments about this new cub the elected new cupboard studio because on camera you cannot see the three hours I spent storing this [ __ ] by myself okay no patty didn't do it I did all by my goddamn self and I'm very impressed you know what because I'm feeling extra salty I'm a stone destroy the night seal so give your death I have to say the changing seasons always makes me a little depressed because look how dark it is outside already it is what it is 5:30 and it is dark out there and it's so sad and being it really brings a dip in my heart but the only plus side about this is that when Detroit it's coming over the mood is already right you know I'm saying does hooking up in the summer girl it's like 9 o'clock and it's so bright outside like that is not sexy ok so I like this kind of like this is great so I just started watching stranger things 3 I know I'm late to the party and it's a really good season right I'm doing great it's kind of weird because we all grew up with these like young kids when they were like what 10 11 12 no I mean 9 10 whatever it is now they're like almost going they're like 10th and 11th graders and they're like kissing and camera it's a little awkward it's a little weird I feel a little perverted but I'm saying I guess back in the day I used to we used to watch like Zack and Zack Slater and Kelly Kapowski kissing and they were probably the same age kind of maybe sorta okay whatever anyway it's so weird and what we don't know who the brick officer on that show is I'm Miss Millie Bobby Brown and I don't know she is she has really become yeah look at her she's really becoming a force to be reckoned with like she has she has like a clothing line coming out and she has this new a skincare line that she's debuting it's called um it's for teens and it's called Florence by Mills I don't understand what the Florence is about maybe something about what Florence Italy because Florence Italy is beautiful and she's doing a beauty skincare line we're reaching we're connecting to dawn how much she has a skincare line and she's getting a little bit of backlash we're gonna talk about it because she did now all these beauty bloggers they always do this thing where they have like videos of like it stuck to their to their bathroom ur of them like doing their routine in their bathroom with their own products and she did this for us but the video was shady because do we wait do we have we have a video okay guess the devil talking to the lady in my ear i'ma let y'all watch the clip and then we can discuss later hit the club okay so I just wiped that off and now I'm going to do the clean magic face wash let's go okay so I'm applying now okay and now you all immediately feel better okay now I'm going to wash I will give you $5 if you saw any [ __ ] product on her hands she literally did nothing and this was me like the fiercest kids in the world it's so fair so everyone is like girl you did this demo for using your products but we did not see you wash anything off you have a full face of mascara to giving you a full winged eyeliner she's like infotrac she's infotrac and she's using her products to wash your face but it looks like she didn't really wash anything off so everyone Millie Bobbi Brown we love you girl your face um you you got the nosebleed going on like you're everything okay so um we're not gonna you know discount you yet we just all asked maybe you do another one could we would like to see another one are you actually using the products for real this hour alright and when it is out cuz I think it's only on to you Kirsten like that now but when it comes on in America she can come here and do it live in studio I love her I love her I love her all those kids they're so great and I'm the one that's with the cleft palate the boy he's he's like doing like major blockbuster films out these kids are gonna be like the next generation of super super big stars and Millie Bobbie Ron is definitely one of them so oh she has a movie coming out a series on Netflix a movie now I can't read oh yes yes don't look at my prompter sir movie on Netflix with her sister so I'm she's Martin's family she's probably a kajillion heir and so she can do whatever the [ __ ] she wants to and we still love her so Thank You Millie Bobby Brown now I'm getting comments y'all think that I'm like I've never like Monet looks like it you know cuz sometimes a [ __ ] be bored and it be like 3 o'clock in the morning you are you scrolling on your phone on the youtubes people like my name is so drunk I'm like which I'm not wasted on my own show I would never do that okay I got a little saucy I feel the vibe a little bit I have never ever been okay but I should be drunk talking about this story this is ridiculous have y'all heard about this yet I will let the picture do all the talking okay there is this new craze you know just like like the black toothpaste and just like the chewing on the steak takes out and she's shaky ma'am have you tried she was like this new thing called toothpaste crotch or as one of the producers called it Pekerman okay so you're taking what the writers people are taking call gate oh I will wait we can't be dropping brands because y'all know I'm a crest girl so I can't be saying breath you take toothpaste that's my quest just a rover where you take toothpaste and you put it on the unjust you put it on the underside of your penis and it's supposed to like boost libido as opposed to door these things what it sounds like it's gonna boost the burning out of your [ __ ] out of your booty ho or your vajayjay okay this is not it was you still looking at my [ __ ] it was a British a British tabloid broke the story and they now everyone is doing it over there across the pond has anyone in this room tried basing their penis would call gay you man you got me girl you got the guy but yes it was based on a parody on YouTube and people thought that oh this is real and now everyone is putting a call gate on the bottom of the penis to make you last longer in bed to give you increased libido so I'll make it apparently it makes it bigger but I think that's probably from the irritation and the burn and you don't have a saying it's inflamed [ __ ] is not bigger so if you're out there we do not we're not prescribing anyone to do this please do not do this at home do it on snapchat and send it to me so I can watch all right thank you so much I'm just thinking if I guess if you were to like pull like a okay so this is a little insight to you but also a very good friend of mine she was on season 10 11 minutes of angie mateo a good friend of my good sister we were all on tour discussing some things and she was that girl boat night let me tell you a little secret I heard I have heard okay oh there and she was like so you know you know when you are getting ready for you going out I'm having a lovely evening with a gentleman friend of yours and you are anticipating things to be a little more colorful later you know you do things to prepare right gentlemen we do so what are you so what do you get so you put the stuff up there and you you know you do a few passes to make sure that the water runs clear okay apparently on the last pass she takes two to three drops of Listerine and she puts it in there and she lets every the final take to leave it a little minty so in theory this could be a good idea okay in actuality no don't do that [ __ ] it's ridiculous all the women I like know what she's talking about we're talking about making kool-aid for your friends so if you want to try go ahead if I'm dating you maybe we'll see it but I'm not doing that to mind other regions anyway moving on this one is a little weird a little creepy we all know that this summer Popeye's went off the rails with that chicken biscuit sandwich okay yes this is the sexy Colonel Sanders can't see I can't see is like oh so y'all want to make chicken sandwiches we got some anime for that ass all right so the the sexy Colonel is this it's a it's a KFC made camp seem a dating simulator and it's an app call I love you Colonel Sanders and you kind of get to choose your own adventure with the sexy card you play a culinary student and have a crush on Colonel Sanders and now you go on dates it's over the app I mean reminds me a little of that movie has anyone seen it with it's called her when he's dating the iPad or the thing I'm getting those vibes from that okay it's a

chicken at home honey I would never leave okay I will be living my best life you know so I look sexy Colonel if you want to dabble with a sexy Colonel this is KFC's action against Popeyes and that chicken biscuit Wendy's is staying up the fight because they ain't got no good food anyway and they also have a KFC novella release that that was a release on Mother's Day called tender wings of desire I know can see they're like we're not gonna do food we're gonna do a little richer okay okay it's not smart no one else is doing it I mean clap if you would download this app listen that's about 8% of the audience okay so I mean that's a decent ratio look they did they didn't I'm calling the cops on the job right this [ __ ] ebony veg and that's all for the sexy girl but hmm speaking of

being all that poster wow it's true to life very good also smell very good thank you I washed you're doing wonderful in the Lord hallelujah gay men wait so how long have you I've been living in New York City for rehearsals I've been here a little over okay you don't set up your face like that [ __ ] why you don't see when you say that you should be happier in New York City honey I know I've been here a little over a week and we rehearse all day six days a week our one day off is Sunday which nothing's open on Sundays though I'm just glad I brought my ps4 or I'd be going insane right actually been here for three weeks okay she was in p-town and they flew the choreographer in to work with her on the roller skating my little chunky ass had to get here and get on wheels in front of the rest of the cab grow weed I cannot imagine oh yeah no I'm sure like three days of rehearsal I just get a text message from her that says I hate this what the view roller skate before this or I mean here is that hairy bear birthday party oh yeah you see he's like all right you would did those chucky cheese thing oh yeah I forgot I forgot I can barely walk in flats I don't want to put wheels on it wait okay okay so don't hate me don't gays they'll come for me I've never seen the movie or the the Broadway show so do you roll escape the entirety not us nothing okay got it we would have to have hazard pay probably charge extra for that ya know our lead who is a very talented actress Rochelle she plays here us that's Clio yeah she's in roller skates I missed the whole time yeah we just do you know we do the finale in roller skates but I don't want to spoil anything else for you I was there for the first day of rehearsal because she hadn't joined us yet and that was Rachelle's first day on roller skates as well oh and now she's running up and down stairs in roller skates she's skating all around up she thinks she's cute you see why people are so cute when I got health insurance but see it's I used to rollerblade black in the day but not barolo skating is like a whole different beast it's like two wheels on either side it's not you know so it just seems like so much coordination well I mean you can learn anything if you're getting paid this is very and you play your Calliope god damn it okay Calliope e pronunciation mistakes I've seen episodes of Xena my name is kawaii mellow peen tahminae okay these are not Greek goddesses deep [ __ ] live in the Bronx yes we play sisters and you know the chemistry just immediately I mean we've worked together for years yeah yeah and we we've toured together a lot so when I heard it was gonna be ginger I was really excited not only because we have a good authority but also because you know this isn't this isn't just stunt casting you know like we're both we both have our eyes set on doing Broadway and we both are trained actors and have wanted to do this our whole lives and this is how we both got into drag so the fact that RWS and the director Alan Sousa took this chance to let us play these female roles not just as a joke but you know to play them playing women we are really doing women there's a couple of drag race jokes that we've got to give something funny there's a man in a dress mmm-hmm which I like you know cuz now we've seen that drag is permeating a pop culture a lot and an eMeter mainstream and you know it's something we used as a commodity a lot and the butt of the job where you guys are like not actual robes you know you guys are playing like you said female roles yeah I mean I play a mother to four and it's been very in their skill in their but now that you're sober you wouldn't [Laughter] three hours in stone discover myself three hours yes what are you stoned before you I watched three episodes of Top Model season four no I have a question are you guys villains or are you guys about this a lot we're evil women technically but I don't think that the that the the evil in us comes from a bad place I think it all stems from a lot of hurt I will say like when you I saw the original Broadway production with Kerry Butler and I had a good time but there wasn't a whole lot of I was 11 years ago I saw it what I saw when Whoopi Goldberg stepped in for Calliope II Wow and it was interesting it was but there wasn't a whole lot of heart and substance to it you know when you when I left the theater I didn't go oh wow that was really kind of life-changing I think I learned something about myself in humanity and you weren't supposed to because I'm vana tips yeah but one thing that our director and RWS has been really really cognizant of is has been let's set the right canto yes you did they were very cognizant thank you miss Frizzle but they've taken a lot of care and really getting down to the actual story and it's been very interesting for the two of us to kind of explore where these characters come from where the the hatred and the hurt stems from and to see the love story between Kyra and Sonny developing there's so much heart in it and it really does teach you a lot about how I'm sorry you never listen to me I was scared for a moment I thought she's having a seizure I didn't want to hold her tongue but it's it's very interesting to see that you know humanity and art the only thing that we can create that could become permanent is art because life is so fleeting and that's really what the whole story's about and it's been really interesting to kind of delve into that yeah I mean when I've created my own work over the last handful of years my favorite thing to do in creating a show has come up with the stupidest possible idea and then try to find the truth in it and try to find why this really really stupid idea I had is worth making a show out of and I feel like you know there's shows that seem like they're just like oh just go and have fun turn your brain off and watch this show but the best versions of those shows are the ones where the actors the director and everyone involved treats it like it's Shakespeare you know like Rocky Horror done just to be like ooh a bunch of people dressed up and having sex with each other you know like if it stops there then you might as well not watch it because you know who's gonna waste two hours seeing a show that's just you know frivolous yeah we want to yeah so you you went to Drakon you didn't go jinx the fans were very upset at you where you were they say that yes well I told them all oh my god I told them all you couldn't be bothered to vom I don't know why they'd be upset because I've never gone you've never done one yeah I know I've never done in YC I know that the honest-to-god reason is that um I didn't have a booth I didn't think I was gonna I knew I had rehearsals and so I didn't get a booth I didn't secure credentials I didn't do anything to go because I I'm a workin Thiet Rishon you know I thought to be too busy and then when I found out we could go on Sunday at that point I know you gotta take care of yourself I sure if I had gone to drag con NYC I wouldn't have had a day off for like three or four weeks because I've been working non-stop I did yeah I was working five days a week in Provincetown and I was going off on my off days to like London and stuff to do crap and sleep with my boyfriend and stuff one day you know work or get [ __ ] [Laughter] well you know a little inside P because I think one of you is leaving the show in November issue no we actually oh yeah we were taking a break a break yeah we're going on yes to me took step in ooh so yeah yeah can you imagine me do my big ass on a roller skate across we're over the [ __ ] out of embarrass myself oh no let me be on a way more discipline we have the most beautiful wonderful little choreographer his name is Max and Max Reed he's not cute but he's our very first day he was like it's really he's like leading me around by my hands and he said the only thing you have to do in order to turn is just point the toe of the skate in the direction that you want to go and I said well how do I do that he said look at I said I don't see my feet here now you want me to stare at the toe and I'm going I'm just like the ganpat teachers or instructors or a personal trainers and they just tell you oh it's easy to just do this I'm like this if it was easy I wouldn't need your [ __ ] help I hate that it's not so I yeah I mean everyone in the production has been so supportive of us and they really give us the star treatment and to the point where I might you do know we're not the leads there are some really talented actors doing much more work than us in the show we're both giving it our all but also you know it's gonna be a great show to see because the people the other P it's not just all about ginger Minj and jinkx monsoon doing the ginger and jinkx show it's like it's a real honest to gosh musical with really talented people in it and you know I almost didn't do it because this will be my second year doing my holiday tour with them yeah yeah it was a really big success last year and we want to make it an annual thing we've always believed in giving an event to for people to go to who maybe don't have good relationships with their blood family or maybe are alone at the holiday time because it's a really hard time of year especially if your family disowned you for being queer or something so I was really committed to being able to do that again this year and RWS worked around my schedule so that I would get to do both so we take a little hiatus so that I can go do all I want for Christmas is attention myself and Ben de la creme I saw the parade and all of those big women said we look boxy go check it out I didn't get to go last year because I wasn't invited but they look really though before we talk about some more stuff remember you down the stairs before so we're gonna do a little game okay so Luke can you bring it can you fly in the props please this is our lovely note no their their trivia now you guys have both theater queens you guys won a lot about filming TV and you guys all know about you the two you know about drag so I'm gonna repeat a question y'all

semen that's a drag queen egg okay Jose Julio Surya was the first openly gay person to run for public office in 1961 yeah he didn't win but he paved the way for Harvey Milk to win the same position sixteen years later Jose was also a well-known drag queen and went on to start hit this well-known organization what year yeah the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence No Wow it's the imperial court system Oh [Laughter] Queen the first lip-synch performance in New York City was the I Will Survive she step on the stage got back up with the crooked wig and the missing shoe but she finished the performance

brutal but you know what never almost never gets affected by like difficult tours and difficult situations is our friendship you know I have been on some horrible tours but the one thing that has
