Like we have so much to talk about. But I want to kick things off with one of my dear friends who I have gladly passed the viral torch to you know him from the sort of live series, you know, from the people's couch on Bravo. And recently all over the damn world. Yeah, going with it. It's Emerson Collins. How are you? Oh, hello. Thank you so much for having me. I don't think you so

much for coming in on. I know your slam. It's really, really busy. And the press is hounding you. They are everywhere. And I get that, you know, it's really a struggle. I understand the pain that you have been through so, so many, many times now. I mean, I had it with Megan McCain. I've had it with hasn't had it with Megan. I mean, she came after me. I came after her. We she now follows me. Oh, she follows me again. You know, some people like the like the hate love. She it's a masochistic behavior that Megan McCain. She's like

like to whip you then run away and then whip again. And you heard me say this. That's what I do to Jeff Lewis, apparently, well, oh, oh, oh, yes, when when you accosted him for an hour and pounded him repeatedly. Oh, my God, she's pounded him repeatedly in the chest. In the chest, which is right in the sternum. We haven't even been on for like two minutes. And you're saying I pounded somebody. You're low languages abuse. We're getting through it. It is not. But we have a let's get back into it. We had a fun weekend. We went to drag the musical. Yeah.

Thursday. Yes, which was fun. Oh my gosh. Yes. I mean, starring our good friends, like Jackie Cox, Jan Nick Adams, drag queens and a musical. Yes, it was like Alaska. Yes. And it was in the bourbon room. And it was way fun. Packed house, pink carpet. Yes. We were definitely maybe the. Are you about to say what I think you're going to say? What do you think I'm going to say? The oldest gaze in the room? Probably so. We were not. I saw

someone with a walker. I mean, it was mine. 48. It's for the children. It is for the children. But it was way fun. It was. The music is truly incredible. The vocals are fantastic. And that is a limited run here in Hollywood at the bourbon room. So go get your tickets to that and support life theater. Unfortunately, Justin will not be in the lobby of using Jeff Lewis. Your performance only select dates. And you know what? I he said something on his show. Uh-huh. That I did not know that I was

aware of. Oh, maybe you since we've been friends for a couple more years. It's fine. We graduated from college together in 2015. This is okay. Yes. Great. He said that I do this where if I am talking to someone. Uh-huh. And a song comes on that I'm familiar with. I will dance. Yes. Then walk away. Dance by myself. And then go back into said conversation and start up conversation. Do I do that? That is correct. Uh-huh.

Having attended the Justin Martin Del safari more than once. The safari. I have been a viewer in the wild watching through the

throngs. Uh-uh. I did watch you who were fully in a conversation with Jeff Lewis. Then you would get caught up in the music and be like, Oh, wait.

Hopefully. So anyway, I really want to be on your podcast. I really love your show. Bam. Fist of the chest.

I feel like it's great. I mean, that's how I got booked here. Right. Yes. I pounded you in the chest. Repeat it.

I'm hard. Fine. Um, yes. And then last night we went to the rap party for Halloween drags. Travaganza. We in drags. Travaganza, which came out on Saturday.

Yes. Yes. I watched it on Saturday afternoon and as a lifelong friend, it was so great. It's genuinely great. You should be so proud of this.

I am. I realize like it's your podcast. You can do all the promotion you need. Uh, but genuinely, you should be so proud. It was really

impressive. If you enjoy drag, it's like an infomotior for Hulu Halloween. Yes. But it is historically done. The ghoul talk sketch. That was my I was my baby.

The falling through out. It's so fun. That was my little baby. Get the song out of my head. Oh, Loo. Oh, yeah.

So, uh, uh, and we went last night to L said and they had it screening and everyone was singing along. Yes.

And I'm sitting next to Ginger Minj and we were just laughing and it was a really nice, uh, moment. Jackie beat thanks the entire

casting crew name by name. Name by name. Name by name. Did a number. Yep. I got an award. You did. Did you keep the trophy?

I got the trophy because she said it was a loan art. I took it. You didn't give me something and say I need that back.

Did you tell the people what the trophy is for? Oh, no. So I just I won the best artist award. That's what it says.

And if you didn't, if you've seen it, I have a cameo in it. I am the voice of the television as well. Yes.
