Starting point is 00:06:37 I'm like, come on, give me more, give me more. That's why you want Oscar to have a license because you can get secrets out of him. No, so we can park together. So he's like, I know exactly how you got here by car otherwise what the hell are you doing how are you getting here there's so many options okay wait why eight why eight yeah because i feel like we're very close but i feel like we could be closer okay let's do that room for improvement i like Wait, does that mean you're going to open your book a little bit more? No. You have to work for it.
Starting point is 00:07:11 When you say you're not an open book, what exactly does that mean? Well, there's just, I'm not like very forthcoming with information about myself necessarily. Like if people ask, I'll answer. But if in a type of conversation where it's like a large group of people and they're like oh when did you lose your virginity like everyone goes around and says something
Starting point is 00:07:30 I won't say anything but if somebody goes an Oscar yes then I'll yes absolutely yes but I'm not quick to be like
Starting point is 00:07:37 oh I'll answer that first yeah fair I guess that I mean that's one of the laws of power one of the 49 laws of power is to like... There's 49 of them?
Starting point is 00:07:47 What are you, Lex Luthor? The 49 laws of power. What? According to the 49 laws of power. It's a book. I like this. I like this. It's a book.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I didn't write it. Robert Greene wrote it. 49. Too many. Why not 50? Too many. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh didn't write it. Robert Greene wrote it. 49. Too many. Why not 50? Oh, no. Oh, no. It's a sheer no.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Oh, no. It's chaotic. Leave it all in. Please do. That's law number two. Drop your papers. Drop your papers. People will forget what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Wait. One of the laws of power is to not answer, not to participate in a group conversation? Not specifically. No. It's like to keep your cards close to your chest. Like don't reveal everything. You'll be too available. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Oh, work. I need to work on that. Me too. The power dynamic is very clear in this relationship. Yes, yes. I say everything. Me too. It's bad.
Starting point is 00:08:41 It's bad. It's too much. It's not bad. It is, and I act on too many impulses. I was trying to, the other day, a friend was drinking out of a cup that was in a cup by accident, and I was like, I can get that cup out of that cup. So I just put my hands fully into his drink.
Starting point is 00:08:57 I was trying to get this cup out. Then he was like, oh, ew. And then I just started playing it. I was like, I'll double down on this. And then I was like, what are you doing? Yes. Yes. So I could, I could, what's that book?
Starting point is 00:09:11 Yeah. 49 Laws of Power. I could learn all 40 of them. Yeah. I need that. My nieces were like, why is Lizzo bad? And I was like, I'll tell you exactly why. And I exactly told them the Lizzo story.
Starting point is 00:09:24 And then they said, oh. Did they come to you being like, you would know why? You know. It all happened so organically. They were like, oh, Lizzo's playing. Oh, I don't like her. I'm like, oh, yeah, ever since she got canceled. They were like, canceled for what?
Starting point is 00:09:35 And I was like, uh, uh, uh. Sit down, kids. Once upon a time. Yeah. That's very, how old are they? They're like 20. Oh, okay. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:43 I thought you were telling children about this. Yeah. You're just telling them what Google has provided. Yeah. They could have just Googled. But again, overshare. I'm constantly over, you don't really overshare. I mean, no, not really.
Starting point is 00:09:56 It's really, maybe this is the dynamic then. Oh, are you and I, I feel like you and I are very similar. I think so, yeah. In the friendship dynamic. And then this. And then this. and then this. Two maniacs. We do have a question that we have come up with.
Starting point is 00:10:12 How did you two meet? Ooh, yeah. I can't wait to hear this. Oh my God. How do you spell I don't wait to hear this. Oh my God. How do you spell I don't know? That's funny. That's funny. That got me good.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Okay. Okay. Ooh, Oscar's still going. Okay. Ooh, Oscar's still going. Wow. I can't wait to see the difference. He didn't know how to spell.
Starting point is 00:10:48 I don't know. It's a lot of I's. I don't know. Really? I don't know. Okay. Okay, ready? One, two, three. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Dancing at North Carolina Improv Fest. At an improv festival where Mono claims to have been flirting with me. That is the tea. Wait, you were flirting with Oscar? Yes, yes. I don't know. Yes, it's true. So we were at,
Starting point is 00:11:13 we were freaking North Carolina, Carborough Chapel Hill at an improv festival. You were visiting from New York. Yes. And I was like, who is this charismatic, good dancer?
Starting point is 00:11:23 Like holding court, you know? And I was like, who is this charismatic, good dancer? Like, holding court, you know? And I was like, he seems pretty gay. I was lip syncing to Climax's meeting in the ladies' room. I remember that specifically. And then you walked up to me and you said, there could only be one. And then you slapped me. Yeah. That doesn't sound like flirting.
Starting point is 00:11:41 That's not flirting at all. Interesting technique. I don't think I did a good job flirting. But when I tell Oscar, like, I thought you were cute, I tried to flirt with you, and then I thought you were, like, not feeling it. You know what I mean? And then he denies that. Um, I think you were just, like, playful and sort of, you were like a, you're a manic pixie dream girl. You were just, like, playful and like like, haha, great, gotta keep dancing.
Starting point is 00:12:06 No, I think. I love that you rolled your eyes wearing purple glasses, a colorful hat, a vintage t-shirt. You're like, manic pixie dream girl, as if. Manic pixie dream gay. Clocked me. No, I feel like, because you were hanging out
Starting point is 00:12:22 with like Mary Holland, Lauren Lapkus was there too, I believe. You were like hanging out with them and I was like, okay, okay. And you were from LA. Yeah. And then years later, we like kept in touch still. Yes. Through like social media and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:12:39 And then when I moved to LA. I was like, is this a flirtation? Oh my God. But we connected really quick when I moved to LA. Why are you so mad about the thought of mono flirting? Because it was bad. If that was flirting, it was a really bad job. Yes, I agree.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I do agree. I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to flirting. I just kind of show up and smile and hope the other person knows. He's like, you just said hello. Yeah, exactly. How do I read anything from that? I'm bad at flirting too. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:08 What's your go-to, like, flirt move when you meet someone? So she's hitting me going, talk to them. Like, she'll talk and she'll flirt. And I just simply, words escape me and I don't know. And I end up just smiling and being like, hello. Yeah. I find smiling is better than talking though. Honestly, when it comes to flirting.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Like say less and smile more. Is that true or not true? You do have to talk. Yeah, you do. You have to say words. They'll never know. Wait, what's your tip, Sasheer? I don't know if I have tips.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Well, according to the 49 Laws of Power. I was going to say. God damn it. No, no, no. I guess be inquisitive. Like ask questions. Like, I don't know. It could be like, oh, cool hat.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Like I have one like that from blah, blah, blah. Where's that from? And like see where the conversation goes. But it's like. Not y'all taking notes right now. See where the conversation goes. But it would start a conversation, yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I get it. I'm too, oh my God, enthusiastic though. I'm too enthusiastic and sometimes I come across as like a cartoon. And I lose the handle on the flirty energy. Well, okay, here's the thing. I get so confused. Are you flirting with me or are you raised right and friendly? Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:14:29 That's hard to decipher. You know? That's tough. It's very hard. It is hard. Because people don't just tell you. You have to go out. Touch is an indicator.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Just like, you know, like a touch. A purposeful touch. Whoa, so cheer, what? Oh yeah. You know, like a touch. A purposeful touch. Whoa, so sheer what? Like a shoulder grab or a, you know, like a, and it's like, oh.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Okay, it's my little, it's friendly. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna start touching people. No, I'm kidding. That sounds terrible. But we soon, once we got like closer, you moved to LA and there was a real sister vibe

Okay, what is your favorite thing about your friend? Uno, dos, tres. There we go. Ooh. Fearless, endlessly supportive, and willing to connect. Wow, these are great answers.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Explain these answers. What do you mean by that? Well, Oscar has a thing I don't have, because I'm kind of stuck in my head, and he's not. He's very in his body. You know what I mean? Like, so like, which is why we're, it's really nice to be friends with him. Because like, I'll be overthinking something.
Starting point is 00:26:11 And he like, helps me be like, just feel it. Or just like, especially with like, the drag show. I can get kind of stuck in my head overthinking stuff. And Oscar will be like, just feel it. Just like, have fun. Just act it. Or think of your intention. Like, all these like, great acting. I'm a good acting coach. She's a good actor. school be like just feel it just like have fun just uh act it or think of your intention like
Starting point is 00:26:25 all these like great i'm a good acting coach she's a good actor um so i feel like that translates to be like oh i wish i had a little more of that yeah that's nice i like that oscar yes well i mean like it's no secret like mano's always there you, like absolutely supportive in every single way. Always willing to hear you out. You know, you have friends that like have a sort of like capacity of like being there for you, it seems like, you know, which is boundaries. Great. Important. Right. But with Mano, he's like always willing to be like, no, let's really talk about this and i didn't write this down but the honestly like you're one of the very few people to call me on my bullshit like to really be like hey that thing you did really hurts my feelings and here's why and like i need that i need someone who's like calling me out because you know i'm just like we i don't know what the
Starting point is 00:27:23 hell i'm doing so sometimes you know i need somebody like we i don't know what the hell i'm doing so sometimes you know i need somebody to be like sure hey hey hey hey hey yeah not too much yeah not too much but it's also to your credit that like you're receptive to it of course i have friends who i'm like oh they could never handle my truth yeah but for some reason i don't know we were always like really tight and kind of got each other where i was like, I think I'm saying this could bring us closer. And I think it has. I think so, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Yeah. I like that. Those moments are essential to a relationship. You have to be able to say, hey, in order for us to keep this going, this needs to be worked on. And that's important. Yeah. Because you want to be in each other's lives. Yeah. Yeah. That's really cute. So nice. Do Yeah. Because you want to be in each other's lives. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Yeah. Oh, that's really cute. So nice. Do you think we'll ever not talk to each other? Like, what would it take
Starting point is 00:28:11 for us to like terminate our friendship? Write it down. What is the one thing that can happen that would terminate your friendship? Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, What would terminate
Starting point is 00:28:23 our friendship? Yeah, I want to know you burn my house down that'd be pretty tough to come back from what if it was an accident okay if it was an accident no but if you purposely
Starting point is 00:28:34 why would you do that I don't know why would you do that I wouldn't I guess I feel like Why would you do that? I wouldn't. I guess. I feel like if you burnt my house down, I would be mad. I would still talk to you.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Even if it was on purpose, I would just like bring it up a lot. Remember when you burned my house down? On purpose? What was that about? Should we talk about it? Yeah. Are you going through something? Why did you do that?
Starting point is 00:29:08 Why did you cross out? No, no, I underlined something. Oh, you underlined it. Okay. I underlined something. Do you have it? I know. I wrote it down, but even then after I wrote it down, I was like, well, I mean, whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Okay. I guess if you really crossed a boundary Yeah That felt upsetting Like? Yeah, you gotta be more specific Honking my titty? Oh my god
Starting point is 00:29:34 I don't think that's enough I think we can bounce back from that I also think so Okay, if you scoop my eyes out at night I'd be pretty mad about that And you don't got no eyes anymore? Yeah Okay What if it's like Okay, maybe I'll my eyes out at night, I'd be pretty mad. And you don't got no eyes anymore? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:46 What if it's like, okay, maybe I'll say this before or after, but like, I always find like there are pranks. Like I see pranks on Instagram and I'm like, oh, if my friend did that prank to me, I don't think I could be friends with them still. There was one prank where this woman was in a car and her boyfriend and his friends jumped out of a truck
Starting point is 00:30:03 and banged in her windshield. I saw this. And then he proposed to her. No. Yes. And she said yes. And I was like, no,
Starting point is 00:30:11 have you seen that? I have seen that. It's wild. It sucks. Yeah. If you did a fake attack on me, I think I'd be really upset. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:19 That'd be really bad. If I like orchestrated a kidnapping or something. Wait, actually. You love. Wait, I don't have to answer any something. Wait, actually? You buff. Wait, I don't have to answer any emails? No, there's no responsibility? I'm just twerking?
Starting point is 00:30:31 Well, it's only for like a day. Oh. She'd be mad because she wanted a longer kidnapping. Like forever. Take me away. I really have to think about it but let's see yours okay three two one
Starting point is 00:30:47 sleep with my husband oh Oscar said leaked my nudes does Mano have your nudes no I don't have nudes but if I would
Starting point is 00:30:57 Mano would know about them take care of these take care take care take care of these does that entail taking care of your. Take care of these. Is that until taking care of your eye cloud? That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Take care of it. And the second I went to sleep with my husband, I was like, oh, they're having fun. What did you underline? My? No, husband. Husband. My husband.
Starting point is 00:31:24 I don't know why I think that would be really hard for me to bounce back from because it's you and him yes being like my close friend
Starting point is 00:31:32 and my partner being like what yeah for sure if I had a husband I think I'd be mad about that yeah understandably
Starting point is 00:31:40 yeah I don't think I would talk to you ever again yeah I think that's for sure yeah oh yeah what if it was an accident Yeah, I don't think I would talk to you ever again. Yeah, I think that's for sure. Yeah. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:47 What if it was an accident? She tripped, fell, and fell onto my husband's giant penis. I was lighting a candle, slipped, fell on his dick, lit the house on fire. And he was hard because he was getting sperm samples ready so that you could have them down the road for your future children. But he knows I don't want kids. Well, then he wasn't right for you. Oh, no. Yeah, I think that was because I, yeah, I had a friend back in the day who, the man wasn't even my boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:32:21 He was just a boy I had a crush on. And that was like the beginning of our demise where I was like, oh, this girl's like not nice. She hooked up with that guy. Yeah. After you told her that you were like. He left the party and climbed in through a window as to not disturb me because I was sleeping
Starting point is 00:32:34 in the living room. That sucks. And I was like, I swear I heard his voice. And for a year she lied about it. Shut up. And then she brought it up randomly. And she was like, you know, when I fuck so and so. And I was like, I thought you said you didn't.
Starting point is 00:32:44 She was like, no, I was kidding. And she was like, you know, when I fuck so and so and I was like, I thought you said you didn't. She was like, no, I was kidding and I was like, whoa. I think the lying would also be worse to me. Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:51 That you lied to my face for a year about it. Yeah. It wasn't nice and I didn't like it. Yeah. But I will say it, we did remain friends
Starting point is 00:32:58 for a little bit more after until I was like, enough! Yeah. Enough! Ah! Yeah. Oscar, can I have your nudes? Do you trust me with your nudes?
Starting point is 00:33:09 That would take it to a 10. Really? Yes. Okay. But also I feel like I care less about my nudes. A little bit. Really? Like if your nudes got leaked, would you be mad?
Starting point is 00:33:20 No. No. I don't know who would want to see them, number one. But number two, everyone... I don't know who would want to see them, number one. But number two, but number two. I can't stand her. Everyone, everyone. Eight, eight, back to eight. No, but everyone, like, isn't everyone's nudes out there?
Starting point is 00:33:34 Like, who cares anymore? No. No, not everyone's. But it's not even a story anymore. I'm asking you, if your nudes were released. Yeah, and you're responsible for it. And I know you were the one who did it. And I was the one who released them.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Yes, I would be mad. Okay. So you do care if your nudes get leaked? I guess it would be weirder. Yes. I guess what I'm saying is I could do the damage control in my brain to be like, my nudes are out there, it's fine, but I would, yes, still be mad at you. You would be mad if your nudes got leaked.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Yeah. Yeah. I would be too, but then I would just be like, well, I guess that's it. That's my body. I mean, yeah. So it's like to a point, I'd be like, fuck. But then I'd be like, well, nothing I can do about it. It's not a body.
Starting point is 00:34:20 And it's like, yeah, I did do a book where I'm in a bikini. I mean, all you did was take the bikini off. But you know what? I guess there's a part where it's like. Yes. I wish you the video. And that's why we filmed this. That's why we filmed this.
Starting point is 00:34:35 But wouldn't that be liberating to just be like, everyone's seen me naked. It's over. Yeah. It's over. It's over. My body will never change. It'll stay exactly as it was. That reminded me of a song from Rent.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Talk to me. So it's right before the I'll cover you reprise where they go, it's over. It's over. It's over. Okay. Musical theater girl. Next question is what is something that drives your, wait, what's something you do?
Starting point is 00:35:12 These questions always pick me up. What's something you do that drives your friend crazy? So I'm writing what I do. Yeah, that you think Oscar finds annoying, troublesome. Oh, it's getting long. Yeah, it is getting real long. We do bicker like old people. No, we don't.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Shut up. No, you don't. Okay, ready? Yeah. Three, two, one. Reveal. Mom said overthink, overanalyze. Okay, with the slashes.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Oscar said not texting or being late. Yes. Yes. True, true, true, true. We've definitely vocalized each other's frustrations. It's hard, too, because you want to be as honest as possible so it's not passive aggressive. That's what I'm working on. Because sometimes you're like, I'm going to make a joke.
Starting point is 00:36:17 You're like, no, that's passive aggressive. Just say it. Yeah. That's good, though. Just say it. Yeah. That's good editing. And then how, when Oscar is late, how do you vocalize,
Starting point is 00:36:28 I'm upset that you're late even though you weren't parked? I know it. You can just feel it on me. Even if I'm like a second late, he has this aura of like, hmph. Well, I was on time. I know, I'm trying to be better. I know.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Who's on time anymore? Like, literally, who? I think, okay, for me, it's the amount. What? It's upsetting. A lot of people. What? A lot of people.
Starting point is 00:36:53 I think I'm specifically triggered by late in a way that maybe not everyone is. But I think 10 minutes is a normal amount of late. Definitely. Okay. Yeah, I think 10 minutes is fine. And what is your late? Sometimes it's... Are you answering your late? Sometimes it's, sometimes it's more. Are you answering for me?
Starting point is 00:37:08 Whoop, whoop, whoop. Are you answering for me? Right on the boards. Sometimes it's more. Overanalyzing. Okay, go ahead. You know, I'll try, you know, I don't have a car, so it is just, you know, when I get there. It's hard, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I also don't know what's going on half the time. True, true. So I'll be like, oh, I should have been there. I get it. I also don't know what's going on half the time. True, true. So I'll be like, oh, I should have been there. I should have left the house 20 minutes ago. True. Oscar was recently like half an hour late for like a brunch lunch. Brunch lunch.
Starting point is 00:37:38 A brunch lunch. And I was like, I was like just trying to like think normal about it. Did you buy it? No, not at all. Because. Did you buy it? We were at brunch.
Starting point is 00:37:53 And I was like, well, it was like, it wasn't like a business thing. It was just like us kicking, hanging out. And I was like, I'm just going to be late. No, no. Our friend, wonderful producer of Bad Drag Race, Jackie Waldman. And, you know, I show up. I'm a little late. I'm a little late.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Half an hour. But then they have to be a little late. And they had to, they were waiting for me. They weren't even sitting. They wouldn't see us. So I was like, oh, they're probably sitting, kiki-ing with each other. I'm not leaving Mono by himself. He's with Jackie.
Starting point is 00:38:19 They're cute. They're fine. I show up and Mono, in the tersest way possible, is like, we couldn't find a seat because you haven't been here yet. Yeah, they wouldn't see us. We weren't all here. And I said, okay. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:33 I message received. Okay. Yeah. I need to just – but that's what's tough, right? Like, even in that moment, how can I be honest and then also enjoy it? Because I thought we had a great lunch after I got over my feelings. But it's hard to do both. You could.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Overthink, overanalyze. Tell Oscar an earlier time. Yeah. Yes. That actually works for me. Sometimes you get hip to it. And then you don't respect it anymore. Do you do that? No. Yes. That actually works for me. But then sometimes you get hip to it. And then you don't respect it anymore. Do you do that?
Starting point is 00:39:09 No. I will, I'll text her and be like, I'll see you in 20 or see you soon, I'm leaving now. Like pulling up or something. Which is very helpful. Yeah. Yes, Mano does the same thing sometimes. We'll have somewhere to be and on the same day he'll be like,
Starting point is 00:39:26 are you excited about so-and-so? He'll always try to be positive about it. But he is speaking down in a condescending way. And I don't mind it. I love it. I'm like, oh, yeah, I did forget about this. Okay, yes, now I know to be there. Do you use the calendar on your phone?
Starting point is 00:39:42 I do. And sometimes I don't write stuff in there. It was a game changer for me. Really? Yeah. I used a paper calendar up until like a year, maybe two years ago. But it is funny. It is a calendar that I share with all of my representation.
Starting point is 00:39:58 And sometimes they'll be like, what is this? Like even social events, you'll like. Because I don't like the other colors of the other calendars. You should do it. What, do another calendar? Oh no, I'm telling Oscar, just do this. Sending it to you.
Starting point is 00:40:14 But here's what I do, when I confirm plans, I go putting it in the calendar. So as I'm typing, putting it in the calendar, I will open the calendar. That only works 75% of the time. Okay, because I'm the same way. I'm like, okay, we made plans. I gotta put this in the calendar. I will open the calendar. That only works 75% of the time. Okay, because I'm the same way. I'm like, okay, we made plans. I got to put this in the calendar and then I completely forget. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:29 You'll never see me there. Yeah. Yeah. Or you'll see me an hour late. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That part. Here's another question. Okay. Which one of you would do better on Survivor? Ooh. Now this is interesting. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Okay. How do you spell neither? I love how much you're writing. It's just your names. This is true. It's either or. Okay. Okay. Three, two, one. Yes. Both said Oscar. Three, two, one.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yes. Both said Oscar. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay, why? I think just the social aspect of the game would drive Mono crazy. I feel like you would slay in the challenges. Like physically, I feel like you got it to win it.
Starting point is 00:41:22 But as soon as someone gives you any kind of side eye, you'd be like, I want to go home. Yeah, that's true. I think I'm pretty sensitive to like social situations in a way that you can't be on Survivor. Definitely. And you have to play it cool. You have to make friends. And that's not that I'm not friendly, but. You're too friendly.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Okay. Yeah, that's a problem too. See, I'm not friendly, but You're too friendly. Okay, yeah, that's a problem too. See, I'm too enthusiastic. Just like in dating, I'm either too enthusiastic or I don't know, I think some people won't be buying what I'm selling. But you're good with a lot of different kinds of people.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Yeah, the social aspect doesn't bother me. It's the actual surviving part. Right. If I'm there and I'm like, where's food? I'd be like, get me out of here. Or like running, nah. But you would like play the social game.
Starting point is 00:42:15 You're like a sari to me. Oh. Oh. A couch potato. A couch potato? I meant a mastermind. Or a Sandra. That's part of her appeal though. She's like, I'm a couch potato that did's part of her appeal, though. She's like, you know, I'm a couch potato that did this and did a really good job.
Starting point is 00:42:29 So I'm like, yeah, Serene's like my hero, truly. Sandra, too. It's giving Sandra. Yeah, Sandra, that part. Yeah, you'd be better for sure. It's just the, I feel like you would get, you would have an alliance. Someone not in your alliance would get close to you and you would be like, okay, here's the tea.
Starting point is 00:42:47 And then just ruin your entire day. Yeah, and I'm not as malleable as you. You know, Oscar's like malleable. He's like, okay, things are changing. We're moving, we're flowing. But like my like Virgo overthink energy is like, no, we made a plan. And that'll kill you real quick.
Starting point is 00:43:02 But you did one of those survivor things out here too, right? I did one where I did good and I did one where I did awful. What's a survivor thing? It's an in-person survivor thing that somebody has organized. Yeah. It's like a survivor...
Starting point is 00:43:14 Does that answer your question? Oh, it's an in-person survivor thing. It's like... All right. It's not affiliated with the CBS program. Okay. It's somebody running their own version of Survivor for the day. Am I correct? Yes, correct. Okay, cool's somebody running their own version of Survivor for the day.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Am I correct? Yes, correct. Okay, cool. I did one organized by Matt Pavlovich, and I did good on that one. I made it to fifth place. What was your strategy there?
Starting point is 00:43:34 I was just friends with everyone. So people were just like, he's nice, let's not vote him out yet. And then the other one, I was too nice. Ryan Barton put one together, and I was way too nice.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I biffed it. I was like, even before the game started, I was like, hey, girl. I know you. Hey, hey, it's me, Mono. They're like, get him out of here. He knows too many people. It was a bad call. Who would do better?
Starting point is 00:44:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Me. Wow. I. Wow. I think me. Oh, that's interesting. I don't think he would do good at all. At all? Not in the slightest.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Why not? Because you don't really like people. What do you mean I don't like people? You have a real cutoff for people, and I watch it happen all the time. The light goes out from your eyes, and you're like, I'm not here anymore. Y'all might still be here having a nice time, but I'm gone. And outside for long periods of time, I don't see it for you.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Running around, I don't see it for you. Wow. Sleeping outside, getting bitten up by bugs. Well, I don't want that. I don't see it for you, but you don't bugs. Well, I don't want that. I don't see it for you. But you don't either. Tea, tea, tea. You absolutely can't last outside that long.
Starting point is 00:44:51 One point. Okay, yeah. Point to Sasheer, point to Nicole. That is, yes. But I do think I could tolerate people longer than you. And I think I could make, I think I can make alliances. Yeah. You can make alliances for sure.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Can you ask your listeners to vote? Yeah. Sound off in the comments below that's a big poll yeah who would do better honestly where's my fucking camera sound off in the comments below honestly honestly uh we would both lose we would both do terribly yes we would get sent home before... Okay, so I think of the one that we were watching where everyone was on that big ship and they had to unlock a thing. They dive in all their clothes and then they get
Starting point is 00:45:33 and paddle in row. And if you're telling me I have to jump in the water fully clothed in a sweater that someone picked out for me even though I'm living outside, I'm not doing it. Yeah, I wouldn't last long because I don't like swimming like that. But I feel like that won't fuck up your game.
Starting point is 00:45:50 People are like, oh, Nicole. She don't want to do shit. Let's keep her around. You know what I mean? Let's keep her around. See, there is strategy there. What are you doing? I was just doodling. Doodling. Okay, this is, I have to tell you, this reminds me of my dream
Starting point is 00:46:05 idea for a Survivor season. A season of Survivor where everyone wants to go home first. So it's like, no one wants to be there. So it truly is a game of no, send me home. I'm the most injured. Or send me home.
Starting point is 00:46:21 I won't let you sleep. I won't let you sleep. I won't let you sleep. I won't let you sleep. I won't let you sleep. Wouldn't that be fun? That's really funny. That is really funny. Just people just out waiting everyone. Like, well, you do it.
Starting point is 00:46:35 I'm not going to do it. No one starts the challenges. No one starts the challenges. The worst player wins immunity. That's so funny. You have good ideas. Like RuPaul's Drag Race No Stars, or It's All People You've Forgotten About.
Starting point is 00:46:47 I would love that. We did that so long ago. We actually did a mock-up of the No Stars season. We did. And we casted the season. They've all been on All Stars. That's pretty funny. They've all made it on somehow. They've all made it on.
Starting point is 00:47:02 It's crazy. Would y'all do well on The Amazing Race? I don't know that They all made it on somehow. They all made it on. Wow. It's crazy. That's funny. Well. Which y'all do well on The Amazing Race. I don't know that show that well. I think you go somewhere. Yeah. Do like a scavenger hunt? It's both of y'all together. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Uh-huh. And it's a race between like 12 groups of two. And you just travel the world and do little challenges. And do you get on planes? Yeah. You have to like pick the right time for the air. You have to like plan it all. Oh no. That might be hard for us.
Starting point is 00:47:30 That would be our demise. We rely on other people to plan our trips. It would be like I thought you booked the flight. Yeah. We almost missed. We went to South Africa. We almost missed our connecting flight in Amsterdam because we were just sitting very close to the gate,
Starting point is 00:47:45 but not at the gate. But not at the gate to see things. Talking. TV. And I was like, so Shira, when is our flight? And she was like, oh, I think it's at one. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:47:56 I don't think so. Or no, I was like, when do we board? You were like one. I was like, no, it leaves at one. And we looked and we're like, oh, so that means
Starting point is 00:48:02 we're probably boarding now. And I was like, actually, I think boarding is closed. We walked up and it was like the last two people were getting on. And we're like, good thing we checked. Oh, my God. That's nuts. That's really nuts.
