Overview

This episode is a riotously candid, chaos-filled conversation between Trixie and the comedic drag duo Darby Lynn Cartwright & Alexis P. Bevel from IMHO (In My Homosexual Opinion). With Katya out sick ("hospitalized"—the source of many jokes), the trio takes a hilarious, sometimes poignant tour through their shared drag roots, friendships, Midwest queer culture, and backstage chaos. Expect stories of shoestring drag beginnings, trauma-bonding, set lists, TikTok mishaps, rundown tales of Midwest drag bars, and frequent, unvarnished musings on aging, bodies, and queerness.

Tone & Language

The episode captures the signature Bald and the Beautiful absurdist, self-aware, deeply queer humor. Banter is sharp and quick, with digressions into bodily functions, mental health, and drag show trauma—always with biting sarcasm and vulnerability. The trio’s camaraderie is rooted in shared hardship and mutual ribbing, never shying from the weird, gross, or emotionally real.

---

Final Thoughts

This episode is a love letter to queer drag camaraderie, shaped by the toughness and heart of the Midwest. Darby and Alexis bring a blend of chaos and insight, deftly recalling the messy, foundational early days of Chicago drag, and exposing the absurdities—and resilience—of queer performance friendship.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Winter is so last season. And now spring's got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes. Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs. You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders that perfect hang on the patio sundress. Those sandals you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done. Hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear open that envelope. It's time for a little in person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic.

[Host/Interviewer]

Wait a minute, I'm screeching. Is this yours?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Okay, listen.

[Host/Interviewer]

Are you for real right now? Are you for real right now? Okay, so what is this? Your lip gloss?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It has it for now. I'm trying. Okay. I'm allergic to talc. I'm allergic to talc.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, talc is in everything right on the microphone.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Are we recording?

[Host/Interviewer]

We've been recording.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I'm allergic to talc. Where's my camera? I'm alert. I'm allergic to talc.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm gonna change my drag name to Talc.

[Host/Interviewer]

You know, talc is being reformulated out of a lot of products. And the problem is it does have a lot of like sweat. Sweat sucking properties.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, that I do like.

[Host/Interviewer]

But I know that it in it. You know There. I know why they're removing it.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Because I'm allergic.

[Host/Interviewer]

Because you're allergic to it.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Finally.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I worked for two years at a makeup store. Nigel's. I saw you there.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh my God. You worked at this Nigel's.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I worked at that Nigel's.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

So mean.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I didn't like it. And I wasn't on SSRIs yet. Now I am. I've never been happier. But the problem is they're taking out

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

all the Towels all the time. And she's a Republican. Who. Go ahead. Sorry.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

What?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

The mom from Wizards of Waverly Place. Oh, yeah, she's in God's not Dead, too.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Anyway, they're taking out all the talcs and all the stuff that makes the makeup last for a long time. And then people are saying, this didn't last very long.

[Host/Interviewer]

And I'm like, I know, because talc has, I believe, like, it sucks up oil and also has some binding properties to it. And they're removing it because I think they're deciding it's not a. You know. I don't know. Bravo.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Bravo.

[Host/Interviewer]

I don't know. I don't know what they're doing at Nigel's. I don't know anything about what they're doing over there at the talc factory. But I do know that our guests today are drag icons, hilarious comedians, and two divas who have incredible homosexual opinions. Please welcome to the Bald and the Beautiful. Darby Lynn Cartwright and Alexis P. Bevel. Hi.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Thanks for having us.

[Host/Interviewer]

Are you kidding? You know who's. You just have a target on your back.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

What?

[Host/Interviewer]

Tammy Brown's gonna have a target on your back. Because that reached out to me this week and was like, can I come on the pod? And I said, we're not really having guests anymore. Katya was hospitalized, and now you guys are here.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Okay, I did hear about that.

[Host/Interviewer]

Did you guys kill Katya for this?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, but. Well, I'm open to it.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I had. I had a moment with a Ouija board, and I. And I asked a few questions.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She did. I'm trying that twice.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Starting strong. I didn't do it out of the pipe. I sort of shotgunned it. It was Chicago, which we can talk about.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

That doesn't.

[Host/Interviewer]

We can it. We cannot talk. But we will not be talking about Illinois.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No.

[Host/Interviewer]

Chicago, the Midwest, or honestly, the United States.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

It's. Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Thankfully. We can talk about Bosnia now. Listen, I.

[Host/Interviewer]

What happened with the. Not the charcuterie board?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, no, wait a minute.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

It was fun. I was using it as a charcuterie board at the time.

[Host/Interviewer]

If you want to try to reach someone from Wisconsin, use a charcuterie board. Okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, I would know.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I took a bite. It was like the ring of a pepper. And that's what we were using is the oubliette. But listen. Yeah. And so I may have said, like, I hope Katya goes soon. Is she okay?

[Host/Interviewer]

I saw her yesterday. She. I mean, she's. Listen, I wouldn't say Katya's patient. I wouldn't say she Loves discomfort or inconvenience.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, sure.

[Host/Interviewer]

We're trust. Imagine what it's like for her to be in a hospital with a tube in her nose. I said to the nurse, I said, I'm sorry. I said, she's just not very good at discomfort. She's not very patient. Sorry about whatever she does or says.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She's gonna have dementia. Because the thing that I've seen on the Internet with your swipe is if you want to deprogram your brain and not get dementia, you're supposed. Wait, I lost it.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah, we're supposed to listen to you about not to get in dementia.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, you need to be uncomfortable.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

You have to.

[Host/Interviewer]

Need to be.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You have to get comfortable with Neil degrass Tyson camera. You have to be uncomfortable. You have to be comfortable with getting.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

We're sorry for what happens the. The rest of this hour.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, my God.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Are you kidding?

[Host/Interviewer]

I feel like this is what it must be like to be with Katya and I, where you just sit there and let it happen.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, should I leave? Oh, shit. Yeah. It would actually be great. We did the Wild, Wild Web. And that's his name.

[Host/Interviewer]

I love him.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Eric Sedan. So nice and so beautiful. You can't tell him that he has

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

pecs, but in real life. I'll take my camera. He's got pecs.

[Host/Interviewer]

He does. And I love his little VHS setup. I love his. I know.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Everything was so cute.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

He just. He. Yeah, he just kind of sat there and nodded.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah. Did you guys fuck? Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No.

[Host/Interviewer]

Wait, so we all know each other from Chicago.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

We do.

[Host/Interviewer]

We've all been doing drag maybe a similar amount of time then.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yes, we were coming. We were starting as you were kind of. You had already come up and we had started in the Berlin in the Berlin heyday.

[Host/Interviewer]

But, yeah, I was working locally in Chicago.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

And I started to do shows with both of you. Either of you. I feel like you and I did more shows together. You were slightly newer.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I was slightly newer. I was coming. I was coming in because you were

[Host/Interviewer]

doing any competition petitions?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, I was doing, like, Roscoe's and. Yeah, all of it.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Did you ever win?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I won. I won. I actually. I lost.

[Host/Interviewer]

Why do I feel like, you know that she didn't.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I want to tell the story of who she lost.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I won the. Oh, I lost the Miss Roscoe's competition 2004.

[Host/Interviewer]

I don't know when she came out of her swimsuit. Five girls quit on the spot.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yes.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And the one that stayed in one was Ms. Gia Gun herself.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, the boom boom gun.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

The boom boom gun.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You didn't.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I had, you know, was I loved her. I saw her because we were both at the Party City on Western getting stuff for our night, and I saw her there, and then when I saw her at the Miss Roscoe's competition, I said, oh, my God, I saw you at Party City today. And this was post season four. Share needles and that. And so she thought I was coming for her, and she didn't really like it.

[Host/Interviewer]

That's fierce, girl. You know. You know, what I know about Gia is that interpersonally, she'll always give someone the benefit of the doubt, and she'll never just jump down someone's throat.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, she's very.

[Host/Interviewer]

You really pick the right person.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Measure. She's measured.

[Host/Interviewer]

But you know what, though? She's a great performer, and she's so beautiful. I would be proud to lose to her in really any scenario.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm so proud.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You should get on one of her Instagram or TikTok live. She's on there 24 hours a day. She's.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm banned from getting on people's lives.

[Host/Interviewer]

What you do. I think it's a little too sensitive because if you, like, go on someone's TikTok live and kill themselves or comment, like, you hear the tone, they will, like, get banned for a week. So you will get banned for people's comments, which I think is kind of unfair.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, you'll get banned for people's comments?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, I get banned for other people's comments. It's not because I've told someone that they just don't need to wake up tomorrow.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

She likes it. She likes to go on.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It was Alexis Michelle, but I thought it was Alexis Bevels.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, we get that a lot.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, it's my fault.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

She likes to go on people's lives and say, do a cartwheel.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I do. And so I want to see if they will.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Who did it.

[Host/Interviewer]

Maybe they will.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Lana did it. Lana Jarret was walking around New York and she goes, do a cartwheel. And you know, she's 19, so she was like, of course I will.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

If someone came up to me and said, do a cartwheel, I'd say, kill yourself, then me. Right, okay. But she puts her phone down, she does the cartwheel completely off screen. You can't see.

[Host/Interviewer]

So what do you know? She did it.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, because she ripped her pants, girl. All you hear is likely story. And I was like, oh, but I get nervous. I get nervous when I go into people's lives because I don't want to. I don't want to be talked to.

[Host/Interviewer]

Right.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Or acknowledged at all.

[Host/Interviewer]

I do. I always comment like, hi, girl. Looking good, girl. And I'll just, like, wait for them to acknowledge me, and then I'll leave that person.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yes, the person who's doing it. But, like, in the comments, when people are sharing really funny things, I'm like, I can't be funny right now. Okay, she just ripped her pants. Give me a minute.

[Host/Interviewer]

Right?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Give me a second.

[Host/Interviewer]

Were they cute? Why was she in pants and drag?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She wasn't in drag. She's just wandering the streets of New York. You know, Drag Race isn't the winning thing. It used to be. Okay. You know, you used to be on Drag Race. You didn't have to live on the streets. Okay? But now we have girls out here doing cartwheels, ripping their pants. Where do they live?

[Host/Interviewer]

Let's take a break.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Where do they live?

[Host/Interviewer]

Hello.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Hello.

[Host/Interviewer]

Where do they live? I wouldn't choose. I will say Chicago. Something I do miss about doing drag. There is. Let's say you did your number. Let's say you're hot. It's winter. You go outside, the sweat freezes to your face. Let's talk about going in the alley and cooling down in drag.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, my God. Piss alley is what we used to call it.

[Host/Interviewer]

You guys were both live singers in drag shows.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

And so would the rest of us be lip syncing. And then you have the live singers. What was that all about?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, okay, so Courtney act was on tv and I said, you can do that. And I look just like her, right? Yeah. And.

[Host/Interviewer]

Sorry, that was a rim shot

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I used to rem when I was in my 20s and 30s.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

For me, it was about. I didn't feel confident in my lip syncing.

[Host/Interviewer]

Right. But you.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I thought it made us feel and look different. I didn't realize, like, that she was good at it, and I was.

[Host/Interviewer]

Well, that's also because I disagree.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

No, no, you're. You have the best. You have the most beautiful voice. You're my favorite person to sing with in the whole entire life.

[Host/Interviewer]

She sucks.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I suck.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She's actually. She's. Listen, can you just give us a second? Can I see you back?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She's. She's very talented.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Well, there's a water right here for me.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

But I.

[Host/Interviewer]

But at what?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I have to break her. First of all. More than you expect.

[Host/Interviewer]

Have you seen her sourdough?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, that's what we call her Poops.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

So you haven't seen her from the back.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It's yeasty.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's yeasty. And you know, she does your hair, doesn't she? Are you saying that you only have her here to do your hair?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, and I've always said that I'm a sidekick. For sure. People will leave.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah. Who's the leader here?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Obviously. Yes, I am. Yeah, Ask me anything. Ask me anything I can do, I'll be a leader about it.

[Host/Interviewer]

Okay, well, who's the. Were you guys have any upcoming shows?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Alexis, tell him. I'm kidding. She doesn't know. She doesn't know.

[Host/Interviewer]

You know, I just. For a little insight into you guys's shows. I do, actually. Before we started, Alexis pulled this out of her dress, which I thought was a hit list. Katya's at the top. That's weird.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, she got her.

[Host/Interviewer]

But it's actually a set list from your show. And I guess I like that. This is about. First of all, this is already more production than Katya and I do, so I'm impressed. It's set list. One of the things says sit down.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

That's the part of the show where we sit down.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah. Okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

We even have a matching graphic so people don't get confused.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, we sit down and she makes all the graphics.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

My brother, my twin brother does. My twin brother used to be a pastor, but now he's not a pastor anymore. And so now we're like, we're reconnecting. Anyway, he goes on tour with us. Not. He probably won't join us for the next few cities. And it's just an interpersonal thing between him and me and what brothers?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And we're learning he's attracted the pastor

[Host/Interviewer]

to graphic designer pipeline.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, he's trying to do stand up comedy.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And listen, it's opening for us.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Haven't we all been to zany Chicago when we shouldn't have been?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

It's the best because you get a before and after of what she looks like in Dragon and out of drag.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

That's rude, huh? I developed an eating disorder to look like this. What has he done?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

What does that say?

[Host/Interviewer]

This says New York.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Okay, so.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

So this was from New York.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, we stayed in Times Square.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

We stayed in Times Square. I wanted to stay somewhere that would

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

The Eminem store.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Cuz I want my order every day. Yeah. You understand?

[Host/Interviewer]

Actually, Eminem's don't have rappers.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh.

[Host/Interviewer]

So I also. I also want to say it's nice cuz when you guys go to New York, cuz you guys do musical theater and you're annoying and there it's like very accepted. Yes, it must be. Feel like you guys going on like a birthright trip.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yes.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

More than me. She's not really a theater. She didn't do theater when she was little.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I did. You know nothing about me. That is true. And listen, I'm so sorry. Tracy, can you not listen to this? This is gonna be personal. You ask me over and over and over, like things that should be known, you know? Number one, I'm hung as hell. Number two, No, I do.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I do know that.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, yeah, I forgot. I didn't mean to send it to you, but I'm glad you saw it.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Thank you.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Number two. Yeah. Like my whole childhood you just like checked out of. And I know so much about you. You used to be a boy. Lol.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And your parents still accept you.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

So I just want you to start putting in a little more effort.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm sorry you had to see that.

[Host/Interviewer]

Are you kidding? I talked to Katie like that all the time. Up next, current events.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Okay, so that's when we say, let's talk about current events. And then we scroll our phone.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Scroll through our phone. I don't give away.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh,

[Host/Interviewer]

one time I went to a girl's show and she just showed memes. Do you guys ever just show memes?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Okay, we did have one in our first show we were trying out in Chicago. Oh, that was a little voices. Her stories don't always go well. So we were in Chicago and it was a show that was too long. We added an intermission in the middle of the show.

[Host/Interviewer]

Right.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And no moment. No, no, no, no.

[Host/Interviewer]

That's fierce. To just be like intermission.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You know what?

[Host/Interviewer]

Okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

We did say the show was 90 minutes. Ended up being like.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

We didn't time it or run it beforehand. So it did end up being a little bit longer.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

But for intermission, she. She just sat on the stage and. Oh, I watched TikTok.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I scrolled TikToks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Stop.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, so the audience.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I played Fortnite a little bit.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Talks with her. Stop.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Do you play Fortnite?

[Host/Interviewer]

I have played Fortnite. I played with Bob once.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, I love it. It's the only game I know about.

[Host/Interviewer]

He yeeted me off a cliff and laughed at me.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

You can take fall damage did you die?

[Host/Interviewer]

I. I didn't. I. I think it's too hard running. Building walls and running at the same time.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I don't do build mod.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I don't do build mode. I just. In the chests. That's all I do. And I like to pick my outfit.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

The. What?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

You. There's little.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You have tits now. You think you could just look at

[Host/Interviewer]

people's boobs, so you just open up people's chest. Typically, you walk up to women and just say, hey, lady.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She's never been arrested. She doesn't know.

[Host/Interviewer]

You know, you go to the. You go to the restroom and say, I'm here.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, I'm here. It smells like you're.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I did buy a. A shirt from Marshall.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Do you like poo poo humor?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. Do you like poo humor?

[Host/Interviewer]

It's a huge issue for me.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

You don't like it?

[Host/Interviewer]

I don't like it. I don't like it.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Hate it.

[Host/Interviewer]

I just feel like hate it. It's not that I'm too good. It's that it's not. It's gross and it's not funny.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah. Well, the actual stuff is gross, but just like.

[Host/Interviewer]

But if something poop has happening to me, I make it so known, and I won't stop talking about it. So I don't know what that is. Where I want to be seen. I want to be witnessed when I'm having, like, oh, I was constipated. I'm going to talk about it.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Do you want to be.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Perceived constipation is not funny.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's not funny.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Poo poo on a shirt and Marshalls and buying it. Anyway, she got extra.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, wait a minute. I thought there was a graphic of poop on a shirt.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, no, no. You're saying child poop.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

There was a brown stain that she thinks is poop.

[Host/Interviewer]

Hey, let's celebrate being able to fit children's clothing.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Thank you so much. I'm not allowed to be around them anymore. I didn't know what to do with all the clothes I'd already bought for them.

[Host/Interviewer]

Okay, how are you so thin at, like, 46?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I'm telling you, first of all, you're. You're laughing about my age. However, I will be 42 in July.

[Host/Interviewer]

I'm not laughing. Okay. I remember when we started doing Dragon. First of all, you were married. And the fact that we were, like, 21 and we knew someone who was married, it was like, what? Also, weren't you teaching special education?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I was. Okay.

[Host/Interviewer]

And still are in A way.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I had this private tutor. I had this thought when Tracy asked if we wanted to come, a very good Katya died. And I was like, yes, absolutely. And there's. There's a couple moments I always tell when people bring your name up that, like now I'm just kidding myself. Yeah. Cuz they'll be like, you're. Oh, you have social media people see you before she run her on social media. She has no idea. No one was. We were in the basement of Hydrate hitting our heads on poles.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, my God. The basement of you guys. The basement of Hydrate. I'm not kidding.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

This big.

[Host/Interviewer]

We're in drag like this. I'm not kid Kimchi is planking and

[Alexis P. Bevel]

we're all dungeon crawler Carl vibes.

[Host/Interviewer]

And she was in her head headpiece era.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She was wearing clock. Yeah, she's wearing a clock.

[Host/Interviewer]

A live bird.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

The T bird in a bird cage.

[Host/Interviewer]

A live bird in a cage.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Which was ethically handled. She did inform me last time we talked about it.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah, she.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You confronted her.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah, I said, oh, now if you ask her, she's like, oh, Peter was involved. It was a rescue. Now it's a whole different story.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Okay, she's testing the makeup on that bird.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, but 100%. And that's why we look so good. No, you and Kim were in the corner pooling your tips.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yes.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Because Kim was dressed as a pea. Pea pod. And she didn't have green eyeshadow. So you were pooling your tips so that you could go run get her green eyeshadow and you could share chicken tenders from 711 because you hadn't eaten yet. So y' all shared this. And I was thinking, silly, that's why I'm a special ed teacher, because I'm never going to go hungry. Cut to. You're now super rich, and I'm hungry all the time because I moved to LA and I think I have an eating disorder.

[Host/Interviewer]

Let's take another break.

[Sponsor/Advertisement Voice]

By the time May arrives, something in me finally starts to thaw. The light changes, the air softens, and suddenly I feel an almost urgent need to go somewhere scenic. This spring, I'm planning a trip to Portland, Maine, where I found a home on Airbnb that feels like the perfect home base for a few days of coastal renewal. I want to wander through the quaint old port neighborhood like I'm in a Nancy Myers movie. I'll be taking in the historic brick buildings in sea air and spending an afternoon on a lobster boat trip like I'm a salt drenched fisherman coming out of winter hibernation. I want amazing coffee, a buttery pastry, a little browsing in local shops, and the kind of region defining dinner that only Portland, Maine can offer. Spring travel has that effect. It feels like a reset, a gentle rebirth after the heaviness of winter. And when I travel, I want a place that actually lets me settle in and enjoy it. That is why I love booking on Airbnb. I want a real living room to come back to, a kitchen for snacks in the occasional light breakfast, and enough space to fully unwind after a day of walking and exploring in the sea air. If I'm traveling with friends, it's even better because we can all stay together and share the experience instead of being split up in separate hotel rooms. And of course, once I start planning one spring trip, I immediately start thinking about the next. Whether it's one quick may escape or the start of a whole season of travel trips just feel more personal when you book through Airbnb.

I also want to say I think that that story we Were trying to get Kim Green foundation to paint her face. She was wearing this thing where her face was green. And then on either side of her head, she had taken a green tap light.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yes.

[Host/Interviewer]

And she had. With eyelashes on it. So she looks like her face was a pea in a pod.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. And she had the two pods.

[Host/Interviewer]

It was a day Glo party. So we were all in neons.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, we.

[Host/Interviewer]

And I think I wore. I think I had some kind of thing that said, like live nudes. Like a sign on my head or something. I don't know what I was doing.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I didn't have anything neon because it was very early for me. And so I still wear this as a badge of honor. I was wearing a Kahmora hall suit, a little bodysuit.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, it was too big. You want to talk expensive drag?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I did Kimora hall once too, in a con in a competition at Spin nightclub.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, Spin.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I missed that one in Berlin.

[Host/Interviewer]

Shout out to Berlin. I'm in the chat to Berlin.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You know, it's a new. It's going to be a thing now.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, Decibel. Listen.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, is Berlin reopening?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Is something reopened to be like a festival, right? No, it's a restaurant.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

It's already opened.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, good for them.

[Host/Interviewer]

Berlin was really fun and magical. Talk about a time of really like a free for all in drag. Everything was wild and crazy.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

This is the first time I ever tried coke.

[Host/Interviewer]

Was Berlin.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, I just lied to you. It was actually. It was in this guy's house. I don't know. But I didn't get to know him because he died. He jumped out of the built like his window and killed himself like two months later.

[Host/Interviewer]

You know, all of my drug stories are from Chicago.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yes.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, that's all mine too.

[Host/Interviewer]

That is to me that if you ask me, that is the cocaine capital of the world, I believe.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Certainly.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Like, it's so cool. Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Drinking for breakfast. For sure.

[Host/Interviewer]

The drinking, the level of hangover, the puking on the Amtrak that I did in my life coming home from Chicago.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, yeah, because you were. You were training in. From. From the Amtrak.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, my God. After Berlin, on Saturdays, I would get up, go get on the Amtrak, go back to Milwaukee, go straight to Hamburger Mary's and do bingo.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, my God.

[Host/Interviewer]

Pick it up.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Hustling, hustling, hustling. You know what I remember when I think of you meeting you before you went every day.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Okay. And we.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Be honest. We do. But it's not because of us. We are. Because we are two white women with Problems. And sure, do I have the signature Chicago face that I never changed. Absolutely.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Does it look a lot like Trixie's? It might.

[Host/Interviewer]

You think I've never.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I don't think so. I just think it's the black. The black. I think that's all.

[Host/Interviewer]

You do this totally different.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. I don't know, but people call us the Teen Trixie. Are you serious?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Which one of you is Katya?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Well, that's the thing is she's. I almost said something so rude. She's skinny like Katya.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, say it. What?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Skinny like Katya. She's too.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I found out I might have a personality disorder. I found.

[Host/Interviewer]

You found out?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, two days ago. She said yes, you do.

[Host/Interviewer]

Who told you? Everyone you've ever met.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

No, she saw. She's trying out a new therapist.

[Host/Interviewer]

There's no way you have two parents in Palm Springs?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, my parents and I don't talk. But my dad's 82 because he's homophobic and whatever. That's why we don't talk. And he's sucking off one of his friends from high school.

[Host/Interviewer]

Makes a lot of sense. I knew you were either, like, had the old parents or homeschooled or something.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, old parents who were gay.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

No, but we were in Berlin and we were chatting and timing is so funny because I remember hearing that you tap dance.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, yeah.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And I also tap dance. And so I missed. I messaged you on Facebook. I said, we should do a tap dance number together. And you were like, oh, yeah, that sounds great. And then two minutes later, you were on track, Grace. I think you were, like, on the way to the flight when you messaged me back.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah, I think the. I think. I think I responded like. I think I said, okay, loser. I think it was something like that.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Something nice. Yeah. For training her. Of course.

[Host/Interviewer]

Berlin was also a unique stage because you, like, enter from the basement. Actually. A nice dressing room for a drag club.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah. A dedicated space with a curtain.

[Host/Interviewer]

Had mirrors.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yes, that's true.

[Host/Interviewer]

Had an area to go naked, and

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

that area had a drain. So while you're tucking, you could piss on the floor.

[Host/Interviewer]

I have seen that happen a few.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I did that every time I was at Berlin.

[Host/Interviewer]

Also, that was when Fireball had, like, launched. It felt like, oh, my God.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Fireball was a huge giveaway in drag.

[Host/Interviewer]

I remember it being the. The official sponsor of all these drag shows which shout out to Fireball, kind of pre drag what it is now. Fireball was like, yeah, we'll we'll sponsor your drag show.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Truly.

[Host/Interviewer]

They gave us the money that paid us and free Fireball.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, we did we be drinking fireball on the rocks.

[Host/Interviewer]

We were acting like it was.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, we'd sip it. Have you ever sipping fireball?

[Host/Interviewer]

A hot mug of fireball.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

You warm your bone.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Do you have a. A healthy relationship with others? No, you don't, because you sip fireball.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah, yeah, Fireball.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, I loved it, though.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's cinnamon.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Actually, there was a moment at Berlin, we were doing a show and you were outside spray painting your nails.

[Host/Interviewer]

I did do that a lot.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, you were doing that. And I was. It was another moment where I was like, she probably can't afford nails if she was a teacher.

[Host/Interviewer]

I couldn't.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She could.

[Host/Interviewer]

You were. You were older than us and married and had a real job.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Thank you.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

It seemed like you were like a real person. And I just remember we always. I always thought your husband was so beautiful.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And he still is. And he still went.

[Host/Interviewer]

What's his name? Ned or Curtis?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Curtis, yeah, Curtis.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Nedward Jackson. That's Edward.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Actually.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Sure, why not?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

We went and saw him in a short film. He had a. Premiered his short film called kiss spelled K I55. And he was wonderful in it.

[Host/Interviewer]

That's great.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

He's just.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

He's a really good camera.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. I will say thank you so much. Infinity. He did an Infinity commercial dressed as a bear. And that has paid for so much of my lifestyle.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

He looks like Jack Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal together.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, I could totally see that. Yeah, he does have a Jake. A Jack Quaid vibe. Yeah. Do you guys watch the boys?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I watched the first episode. Yeah. Yeah. I used to be one. I used to. I like to say I was deep undercover as a dude.

[Host/Interviewer]

You're not the tea mood Trixie. You're the tea girl Trixie.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

The end of that sentence was, she's skinny like Katya, but she does her

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

makeup the best thing that ever.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And then I tap dance.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

So we're basically the same.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Because now I can say trans jokes because I have one.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You gotta catch them all or you gotta catch the best one.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, well, I believe that when you have it. When you have a trans colleague, I do believe there's a. There's a. There's a closeness. There's a way you could speak to her that maybe other people shouldn't. So people at home. I will say, if you see her, talk to her like this, that doesn't mean that you.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, I'VE seen her pubes on a cruise ship, okay? And that changes everything.

[Host/Interviewer]

Listen, how much you see. Are the.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She bent over and the pubes were coming out the back.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I think she's.

[Host/Interviewer]

Are the pubes red? Are they synthetic?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, they're dark brown. Those.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Those ones I didn't bring. No, I didn't bring my reds.

[Host/Interviewer]

Are yours gray?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I do have some.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's starting.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. Yeah. Are you shaving? It is beyond started, babe.

[Host/Interviewer]

You still have hair, though. That's pretty fierce.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It starts a little further back.

[Host/Interviewer]

You think?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

But I am going to Turkey.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, fierce.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. I want to get. Have you ever been to Turkey? And I want to get hair like you used to have.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, I haven't had hair in a very long time now. Probably 10 years. And I got these teeth in America at Nail in Hollywood.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Fabulous.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Really?

[Host/Interviewer]

My dentist. Well, my dentist is in Beverly Hills. Dr. Sun.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Okay, there we go.

[Host/Interviewer]

Dr. Sun.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Unrelated. Cannot relate.

[Host/Interviewer]

When I first moved here, I had money to go to the dentist for, like, what, the first fucking time? And I just googled who's the closest dentist? And she lived a block from me. Her dentist office block from me. That's how I selected my dentist. Most people probably do research.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, you don't have to go. No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Host/Interviewer]

Whatever's closest you have to go.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Whatever's close.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

We all like our base. Dental care is pretty bad for drag queens.

[Host/Interviewer]

Are you kidding me? Like, oh, not to mention my upbringing. I'm like, I think Wisconsin paid for us to get a teeth cleaning once a year, maybe, or a checkup, which wasn't enough.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, not for Wisconsin. When the main part of your diet

[Alexis P. Bevel]

is cheese and mountain dew.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I love Mars cheese castle, though. Girl, I miss it.

[Host/Interviewer]

What do you guys think of Milwaukee?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Love it. We love Milwaukee.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

We've never had a bad time in Milwaukee.

[Host/Interviewer]

The Chicago Milwaukee Sisterhood is of the traveling gauchos.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very St. Louis, New Orleans.

[Host/Interviewer]

And you guys at Milwaukee Pride is turned.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, my God.

[Host/Interviewer]

Milwaukee Pride being so good was insane.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Can I tell a Milwaukee Pride story that may not be appropriate? Okay. First time I ever met Detox was at Milwaukee Pride. I was co host.

[Host/Interviewer]

Inappropriate.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Exactly. Well, I was a twink and I was alone with her. Is that appropriate? No. She was really sweet, but we were this drag queen, and I were co hosting Milwaukee Pride, and it was unreal. Like, it just blew my mind.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's huge.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You don't do anything. You just jump up and down like a Coachella.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. And they're all drunk and gay.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And there's one of those like gondolier swings that goes over the entire.

[Host/Interviewer]

The dance grounds. Oh, yeah. To go look. And you can like ride it in dragon. They got food, deep fried everything. Beer tents, multiple stages. That dance pavilion is crazy.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Crazy.

[Host/Interviewer]

Thousands of people.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Thousands upon thousands.

[Host/Interviewer]

And they are dancing for hours.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

And they're not even. They're dancing while the sun is up all day.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

There are 10 furries in full fur gear.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It's 100 degrees outside. They are out there for hours doing their thing. I'm in barely address and I'm like, it's too hot. I'll see you in a few minutes. I'll be right back. I was never on stage for more than five minutes.

[Host/Interviewer]

Well, I also think Market days is, is. Is. I think Market day is partners with heat stroke. They kind of partner every year. Because Market Days has a liability. Because when is Market day is July, August. They will. It'll kill you.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

It is hot.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And it should. And I have wished for it. No. But I was doing this thing and we were doing Milwaukee Pride and it was. It was. Right. It was the weekend of. Oh, this is gonna be such a bummer. Sit down.

[Host/Interviewer]

Everything so far has been kind of sad.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, okay. I know my brand. Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Oh, it happened.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I don't know if we.

[Host/Interviewer]

It did.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, it did happen. And we had Milwaukee Pride the next.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, I remember this.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. And there was a big conversation about, are we gonna do it? Do we? You know, who feels safe enough? And Detox was supposed to be there that day, but obviously, like, she recused herself. She recused herself.

[Host/Interviewer]

And she's from Florida, I believe. So she probably.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It really hit her hard.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

But she. Before the park opened, the other drag queen, she died in a fire. She gets a text that Detox is here. She's about to leave. She just wants to say hi. So I came out and I stood like away. Cause she was already crying and I didn't want to like, get in that business.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And so they're talking or whatever. And then she goes, who's that? And then she brought me over and she's crying and I go, hi, I'm Darby. And she goes, ooh, you're cute. And then kisses me on the lips, smiles, goes right back to crying.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And that just shows the resilience of the queer community in hard times.

[Host/Interviewer]

Or compartmentalization. Healthy compartmentalization.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Exactly. Well, that's why. That's how. How we have to do with our childhoods and the. Such as.

[Host/Interviewer]

Well, queer joy. Right. Unbridled queer joy. And it's also very queer to be like. Like, if somebody. You know what I mean? It's like something kind of sexual. It's like. Oh, it's also very. Do you remember in Mean Girls when she's, like, big, fat. Yeah, it was, like, very.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

That my niece was just a mean girl. She played Katie. She's too good for the. The program she's in.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, wow, that's tough. I love to go see productions. Specifically, I love a community theater production. I saw a community theater production of. Of Legally Blonde a couple years ago. The community theater eats.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

There's a Presbyterian church near us that does all the juniors, like, in the summer. They have. Oh, yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Where they have diabetes instead. Okay, right. So my.

[Host/Interviewer]

And she's at a stripper. She works at Build a Bear or something.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

[Alexis P. Bevel]

My teddy. It's a Build a Bear.

[Host/Interviewer]

Does she do that?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

[Alexis P. Bevel]

has to edit me every day. Oh.

[Host/Interviewer]

I actually don't think. Between Katie and I. Who has it worse?

[Host/Interviewer]

Do you guys hang out? Because Katie and I don't hang out or speak.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Not anymore.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

We. We do.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yes, we do.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

We do. But only because I don't have a car. I live so close to her, so, like, she can't avoid me, right?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No. But the good thing, she doesn't call me anymore.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I won't. I know. I don't call her because she's.

[Host/Interviewer]

And I don't think that makes it a bad thing.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No.

[Host/Interviewer]

Katya and I always talk about we just. Because of this, you have to have

[Alexis P. Bevel]

stuff in the tank.

[Host/Interviewer]

We have a fresh discovery of a story with Regis.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Regis and Kelly, they never spoke to each other until they got on camera.

[Host/Interviewer]

Katya and I on tour, literally wouldn't see each other till we're on stage.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

That is her dream.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Okay. That is my dream.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's nice.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It's just because, like, you require a lot of support.

[Host/Interviewer]

Who is he? Who's the insecure neurotic one? Who's like the. Do I look bad?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Well, no. See, I used to be the insecure neurotic one and then I transitioned and I got on SSRI. Celexa, 20 milligrams, never been happier. And I have a boyfriend.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She cries now.

The Noah Khan community is going to come for you after that.

[Host/Interviewer]

Now it's over. I'm sorry.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Thank you.

Hello, I'm Dr. Lind Biscotti III, Founder, CEO and Chief Inhalation curator of Atmospherique, the world's leading purveyor of small batch artisanal air in jars. Have you ever thought, I wish I could own the exact air from a couple loudly breaking up in the parking lot outside of Panera. Well, now you can.

The luxury scents and real benefits will take care of your home's well being so you can take care of yours. When I was a little girl living in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the whole town seemed steeped in oysters, clams and that stern nostril cleansing sermon of low tide. The air itself felt permanent, as if I had been born into a destiny of salt, mud and damp clamshells. I thought home was something briny gray and a little tragic. Then I grew up, fled to the promise of the west and found Los Angeles, a city perfumed with possibility. And now, somehow, thanks to the White Barn Neutrals collection from Bath and Body Works, home has utterly transformed in my mind. Gone are those heinous seaside scents, and in their place is the White Barn Neutrals collection by Bath Body Works, a home fragrance collection for Hearth and Home. For me, it feels like a beautiful escape from the smells I grew up with and proof that comfort and belonging can be chosen. Sweet orange and agave is as bright as California morning, washing every warm memory of low tide from the room. Mahogany coconut is warm, woodsy and quietly glamorous, just like the Hollywood Hills. Moonlit goddess blooms like the life I always imagined for myself and dancing amongst the glitterati at a fancy party. Pistachio milk and honey is creamy, soft and comforting enough to make anywhere feel like home, even a malodorous seaside town. And the best part is these are the scents crafted with the nature and science for exceptional performance. Consciously clean ingredients, thoughtfully chosen and tested effective formulas developed to US and EU regulatory standards for safety and always responsibly made. Never tested on animals, these soy wax blended candles deliver up to 45 hours of room filling. Fragrance the White Barn Neutrals by Bath and Body Works Home fragrance that truly transforms.

at bath and bodyworks.com Today's episode of Bald and the Beautiful is brought to you by. No cd. There you are just living your life when a horrible, unwanted thought crashes the party. Is that tiny sensation in my body actually a serious illness? Why doesn't my partner look as happy as I do? Why don't my partner and I look as happy as that other couple? Do I even love them? What if I'm a secretly violent, dangerous person, even though I don't want to be? And then to make matters worse, your brain grabs onto that unwanted thought and will not let it go. And now you're spiraling, replaying every interaction you've ever had, seeking reassurance from everyone around you. And it never really helps for long. What's going on? Unwanted thoughts that feel sticky, repetitive and impossible to shake like that might be signs of ocd, a condition that is way too misunderstood. OCD involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts that cause intense anxiety and behaviors you feel driven to do to get relief, even though that relief is only short lived. It can latch onto literally anything. Your health, your morals, your relationships. And it can be completely debilitating. But it doesn't have to be that way, because OCD is highly treatable with the right kind of specialized therapy. OCD needs ERP or Exposure and Response Prevention, which is proven to be the most effective treatment. And that's where NOCD comes in. NOCD is the leading provider of OCD treatment and all of their licensed therapists specialize in treating OCD with ERP therapy in live Face to face virtual sessions. Your NOCD therapist will teach you how to take the power away from intrusive thoughts so you can spend your time and energy on things that will actually matter to you.

[Host/Interviewer]

I love Avril Lavigne.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

They. You want to hear about twin hijinks? She rented a car the last time we went. We went to North Atlanta, Alpharetta and Orlando. We rented a car to drive.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, we used to say. And then we realized, yeah, yeah, we're North Atlanta.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Alpharetta is a beautiful name, though.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Know.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And so we bought. She bought a car. And then she was like, you're gonna drive. I'm just gonna give you my ID in case we get pulled over because she don't want to put him on the thing. Oh, am I allowed to say that?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Are we gonna go for it? No.

[Host/Interviewer]

Blow up her spot.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No. But she's.

[Host/Interviewer]

Where you rent. You, like, you, like, could, like, if you have a Prius, you could, like, rent it for people to come get it and use it for the day.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I have a Subaru that's.

[Host/Interviewer]

Or in Milwaukee.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah. I used to love Zipcar, but she

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

was mad that I didn't put her name on it because she told me I was gonna learn how to drive again.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

No, no. I'm a very good driver. I just got my ID back.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

We got in really late, and I couldn't wait in the sixth line, you know, the sixth line is crazy.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

There was no one there.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Straight to the car. Yeah. And I was the only one on it. And because he's straight and he looks like. Yeah. So I just gave him my license.

[Host/Interviewer]

Really shouldn't be driving. Everybody's like, are the way most safe. I'm like, the gay people are out here. Driving.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I'm not gay.

[Host/Interviewer]

Is better than gay driving.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Technically, I'm not gay anymore. Oh, my mom was thrilled.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, my God.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You are the stereotype of a woman.

[Host/Interviewer]

Sexual woman, apparently.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

You're part of the problem.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm sorry.

[Host/Interviewer]

Heterosexual white lady.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yes.

[Host/Interviewer]

See her titties get on Facebook.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

The nipples are bigger than you think.

[Host/Interviewer]

Hi, mamas. You should become a chad.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Hey, mamas.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You should.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And I tell you, my current obsession, the thing that helps my SSRI is hand sewing dresses. And I'm going to the hob. Okay, don't look at me like that. I love sewing. And I like. I feel like you have more control with hands.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Most productive thing she's ever done.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And I could do it in the plane.

[Host/Interviewer]

Hand sewing.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You do do.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I can do it on the plane. I love it, girl.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She doesn't care where her elbows end up.

[Host/Interviewer]

You're telling me that you're back in 21C doing some for richer, for poor? She really is.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I really am. Yeah. I have to watch out.

[Host/Interviewer]

Behaviors.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Stewardesses.

[Host/Interviewer]

Have you guys ever.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Stuart, I. Don't be insane.

[Host/Interviewer]

Well, this next note from the show says, don't impress me much.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

That's a song that I do. It's the only song I do.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She has done that song everywhere. I do it everywhere. About eight years now. And I'm not exaggerating, but it's improv.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Because during the part where she says, so you're a rocket scientist, I stop the music and I say, hi, what's your name? And he says, you know, what's your name? Daniel. And I say, what do you do for work? Retail. Okay. So you probably have to deal with, like, customers and like, interpersonal relationships.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

That's.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

The song is called that Don't Impress me Much. So. And I can't change the lyrics. Shania Twain is very litigious, as you well know. And then it comes in that Don't Impress Me Much.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And now that I've said it on this podcast, I'm gonna have to retire.

[Host/Interviewer]

No, nobody listens to this. They're gonna see this thumbnail, they're going to realize neither of you are Katya, and they're going to leave.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Absolutely.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And you know what? Thank you for that. Thank you for realizing that finally the

[Host/Interviewer]

two of you put together don't even equal one vascular crackhead. How does that feel?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, we know.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, you don't know.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

We're very self aware.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I used to put drugs in my butt.

[Host/Interviewer]

And that is something that I have heard that people do. And I just. In my experience, I can barely have like a solid BM without injuring myself. So how are people putting drugs up there?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Solid. Oh, my God. We had a guy come to our meet and greet and give us Metamucil.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Metamucil gummies. Are you ever doing any of that?

[Host/Interviewer]

Well, I usually am oscillating between a Miralax experience, but I'm always afraid, like, I'm afraid that a Metamucil is gonna stop things up more. What do you think happens?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Because Metamucil. It does. When you go off it, I've.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Here's the thing.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I kind of know what.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

His dad died in 9 11.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

His dad died in 9 11.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

He brought us. We don't use a.

[Host/Interviewer]

We don't always have to say who died in a story.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, we're not supposed to. His mom doesn't like it when we say it.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

She did a request.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She did.

[Host/Interviewer]

But she's not here. Yeah, she's not in Hollywood, usa, honey.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And neither is her husband. He's not anywhere.

[Host/Interviewer]

Okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Sorry.

[Host/Interviewer]

I'm sorry.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No. But he brings us these gummies. We start taking them. We start having solid poops every day. He's wild.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And then I forget.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No one tell us. Yeah, like he didn't say. By the way, if you start this you can't just suddenly stop because I'm gonna lock everything up forever.

[Host/Interviewer]

What?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yes. And so at Christmas, I'm in my in laws house and I rip my butthole wide open.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Mine came a few months later.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And wasn't it horrifying?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Do you watch the Pit?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. You finna be in the pit?

[Host/Interviewer]

Never seen it. I mean, I know I. You guys, I know about ripping a butthole.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

I don't have to watch a medical show to understand.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

What are you watching? Do you watch?

[Host/Interviewer]

What am I watching? I've been watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills from the beginning. My ex used to watch it all the time, and so I peripherally have seen parts of it.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

You've gotten the gist.

[Host/Interviewer]

And I texted Lisa, I said, you never guess what I'm watching. I've been watching Beverly Hills from the beginning. And I was like, kind of like,

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

did she say she's so fabulous?

[Host/Interviewer]

She's embarrassed to admit that to her. Like, I was like. But then again, I'm like, she's always kind of scandalized that I haven't seen it.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

What's she smell like?

[Host/Interviewer]

Beautiful.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

She is exactly as you would see on the program. I'm watching the program. Being like, she really is made me just miss hanging out with her a little bit. So I texted her, being like, I'm watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She's like, wow.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Because it's like 15 years ago. It's like, hey, I'm watching home videos of you.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

It's pre Covid. It's a different world.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, we were just talking about that on the way over here. Do you watch Matlock?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

There's a new Matlock with Kathy Bates.

[Host/Interviewer]

Kathy. I've never seen it. I watched Gypsy Rose Blanchard Life after lockup. It got discontinued. Now I watched.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

What did she do in her life after lockup?

[Host/Interviewer]

The show literally starts. I feel like I'm the only person who watched this because I never hear anyone talk about this. And it's canceled now.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Okay.

[Host/Interviewer]

The show starts with her getting picked up from prison and them going to buy her shoes. Like, you guys, it's. It's the. In a world of people moving into fake houses to be on reality tv, this is as about as real as gets a Gypsy Rose Blanchard at shoe carnival getting paparazzi.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, my God.

[Host/Interviewer]

It hearkens back to a different time

[Alexis P. Bevel]

in reality T. Well, now, here's a beautiful question. You're released from prison.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Where are you going?

[Host/Interviewer]

First she gets McDonald's and she gets shoes.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I Love that.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I. I would go, you know what? I turn it on its head. I would go to jail. I would just make sure I didn't leave anything in holding.

[Host/Interviewer]

You're a pick me girl.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm going.

[Host/Interviewer]

That's a pick me girl.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm going.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I need attention.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yes.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

My dad doesn't love me.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm going to Taco Bell and I'm

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

going to a fabric store, girl. You want to go get a job?

[Host/Interviewer]

Do you know what they need to get for the girls? The Dragoons? They need to get. You know how they have like a Long John Silver's and McDonald's combo or whatever? They need to get a fabric store. Taco Bell.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I would be in there. I would get a job. I would quit drag and get a job.

[Host/Interviewer]

Do you guys cook?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

No. Absolutely.

[Host/Interviewer]

I started making Crunchwrap. I started making Crunchwrap Supremes at home on my own. You just need to buy the ingredients. Did you know? Doesn't want you to know this.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You know, they make one in. What's the restaurant? It's a Thai restaurant in West Hollywood. I can't remember the name, but they make their own version of a Crunchwrap Supreme. But it tastes just like it.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, interesting. Yeah. I mean, all you have to do is get the giant tortilla. You get the small crunchy tortilla, and you layer it all and then you pan fry it.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, that's fabulous.

[Host/Interviewer]

I'm a Mexican, and it's better than the McDonald's one. Or it's better than the Taco Bell one.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I'm sure. McDonald's.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, yeah. I'm a. I'm a Mexican pizza girl.

[Host/Interviewer]

You are me and doja.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She was so excited.

[Host/Interviewer]

Dolly liked that, too. Dolly Parton liked that too.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Really?

[Host/Interviewer]

Mexican pizza.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I love it. It's so good.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Did you have it in school growing up? That was always my favorite day.

[Host/Interviewer]

Mexican pizza.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, it was an oct. Was an octagon. And so what? Yeah, you're.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

You're not talking about Taco Bell sanctioned Mexican pizza.

[Host/Interviewer]

This is woke.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No, I'm talking about, like, you know, pizza day in. In school. It's the big rectangle.

[Host/Interviewer]

Back in my day, there were boys and girls, but okay, not Mexican. We, she, they, them. Mexican pizzas.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

In my day, people were singular. Okay. We were dealing with the plural.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Don't look at me. I'm her.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She was they. Them for a week. And it was terrifying.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, that was hard.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It was really hard on everyone in her life.

[Host/Interviewer]

I do think it's funny that about Eight days later, you said so.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

We're gonna flip the script. What? Guess who's back, Back, Back again. You know.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. Okay. Mom.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's an evolving journey of self discovery.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

It really is about you for a

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

second, so just know that.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Do you want me to look away?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, that would be great.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She's a completely different person as her fully realized female self. She sucked as a boy. I.

[Host/Interviewer]

Did she wear nails?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You know she does.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm growing them.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Why start?

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She says that every time. No, she's so much.

[Host/Interviewer]

She's been growing them out for years, honey.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, for years and years. And then she does have to cut them occasionally while I'm growing them out.

[Host/Interviewer]

We look over. She's snitching them right now.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I lost three when I was on the plane sewing my new stays. Okay.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah. She needs. She can't wear nails because she's doing her Amish hand sewing on the plane.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Sorry. Well, because she's on that technology, the plane. She doesn't. It feels like it's too advanced for her.

[Host/Interviewer]

I have a question. The next note in your show says, it's not that easy being mean.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Okay. Now this is her time to shine.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

That is. That is a number I used to do. I don't do it anymore, but it

[Host/Interviewer]

seems like you do. This is from, what, last week?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

That is from last October.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

October, yeah. She doesn't wash her clothes.

[Host/Interviewer]

This was in your pocket since last October, apparently.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

This is Belvin, by the way.

[Host/Interviewer]

That's fierce, girl.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Velvet.

[Host/Interviewer]

I do love that. I don't know what they call that sequin where the inside is velvet.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's hot, though.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

It's so hot.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And that's why she would have washed it.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Indeed. It was winter when we.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, it was winter. It was a different time. And we stayed. Were you Square?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

No.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No. But we went to Times Square a lot.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's hard to sleep outside.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No. But not easy being mean. I sing the song not easy being Green, but obviously your name. Exactly.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, Parody work. Kind of. Sherry Bond teeth.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, thank you.

[Host/Interviewer]

And I will always love poo. Or, you know.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Is that her song?

[Host/Interviewer]

She's the queen of a poop song. For sure.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

That's why you don't have her on. You hate poop.

[Host/Interviewer]

She's like, just my. Just my pants. Like, I Just my pants. Just. She's. It's always like, I my pants.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I my pants. Well, I. A pair of tights once in an Uber. Anyway.

[Host/Interviewer]

Why were you wearing just tights? Very fetal. To sit naked with just tight side.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And you never did that. Also, we would go completely ready for the gig. No clothes. You didn't do that.

[Host/Interviewer]

Recovered memory. Why were taxis so cheap in Chicago back in. Oh, yeah, they used to pay you to take a taxi.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

They're still a little bit cheaper than Obama.

[Host/Interviewer]

Thanks Obama.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Thanks Obama.

[Host/Interviewer]

Now what Lori likes to be Joe.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I gotta be honest, I'm not loving what Joe Biden's doing in office right now. The world seems crazy, right? We gotta. Someone call your grandpa. Nope. Political humor. Great. I'll save that for Kelly Mantle.

[Host/Interviewer]

Oh, yeah. Kelly really watches cnn. That.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I'd love to watch her watch the news. I bet it would freak her out.

[Host/Interviewer]

Girl, she can only be in touch with what she's in touch with. And what she's in touch with is very little.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And her grandma. How did y' all end up, like, having her a part of all of your live events? Because she's a perfect addition to you and Katya.

[Host/Interviewer]

We were coming up with a character that would be like our manager. And I was like, who is deeply available. And, you know, drinks.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

On a level that can make my drinking seem kind of, you know.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Are you a drinker?

[Host/Interviewer]

Not really anymore.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, same.

[Host/Interviewer]

I mean, it's two glasses of wine at dinner last night, that was me getting wild.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Do you have a headache today?

[Host/Interviewer]

No, I'm okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, how old are you?

[Host/Interviewer]

36. People think I'm older because I'm bald and I look old.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

You don't look old.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, no, I just. We were coming up at the same time, so I thought we were both really young. We were really fresh and young. I started to drag it, like. Like 30. That's normal, right?

[Host/Interviewer]

That was crazy. Yeah, that's right. You were like, hey, I'm old. Hey, guys.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

And you kept saying that because I kept kind of being like, hey, I'm old. We were all like, we get it. We get it.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It's because I knew Twink death was coming for me. And I was so excited that I was still on life support, so I was showing off. Can I say for real, it will come for you. And you have to develop a personality.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Daniel, you got to pick up the

[Host/Interviewer]

dumbbell or pick up the wig.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Exactly.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Absolutely.

[Host/Interviewer]

And I wish you would put down the wig. I also want to say I. I.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, you should say it.

[Host/Interviewer]

As an educator. Former educator. Do you think there's some skills that carry over to controlling, like, a drag audience?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yes.

[Host/Interviewer]

Right. People management.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, I taught special ed, and so I had to deal with people on a daily basis who needed extra support. And whatever I was doing, I had to have three or four different options for how I could communicate that idea.

[Host/Interviewer]

Right.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

When people are drunk in a bar, you have to be ready to either be like, you say, whatever you say, they're gonna laugh or whatever you're gonna say, they're gonna cry, or whatever you say, they're not gonna pay attention at all. They're gonna be in a different room. Okay. And that's working at a bar in Chicago. And, yeah, you have to learn how to, like, talk to a drunk asshole in a charming way. Although sometimes when I would get drunk, I would become the drunk asshole. The first time I ever met Katya, I was wasted. And I tried to fight her outside Roscoe's, and then.

[Host/Interviewer]

You don't have to be drunk to fight her.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Thank you. But I needed it. I needed the confidence. And then the guy at 711 called the police on me.

[Host/Interviewer]

The one right on Halstead.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

You know, but knowing that it was Katya, I bet she was in perfectly sound mind.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

She. Can I be honest? She was.

[Host/Interviewer]

She's probably smoking cigarettes.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Listener. She was. She was. And she was chill. And I went up and was like. I don't know why I started to fight her. You know what it was? Dominance.

[Host/Interviewer]

She will talk to anyone.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Sorry.

[Host/Interviewer]

She'll talk to anyone as long as she can smoke at the same time.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, well, she won't meet with the

[Host/Interviewer]

diet if she's on smoking. Go up to her. She's in her happy place. She's at her best. I don't think she smokes anymore.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I tell people that we smoke. Just. It explains our teeth. Teeth, yeah. But we don't smoke.

[Host/Interviewer]

Also. It's a great way. You know, when I worked at, like, a real job, I was always pissed off that smokers got all these extra.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I was just thinking that.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, I was just.

[Host/Interviewer]

I had diarrhea when I worked at the Mac counter. I'm like, can I go stand outside?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I forgot you worked at the Mac counter. Yeah. Remember when Mac.

[Host/Interviewer]

Was it like, you wanted that girl again?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It is. It's coming back.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah. I've always loved.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Did you go back to Mac after you launched your makeup line and you said, big mistake. Huge. Or whatever?

[Host/Interviewer]

No, because I also got fired from there, so.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

What'd you do?

[Host/Interviewer]

Nothing. It's a whole story. Nothing.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

We don't have time. We're wrapping up. Please.

[Host/Interviewer]

There is one more that I want to talk about.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Are you really just going through a set list from October?

[Host/Interviewer]

Well, hopefully you're not doing any of this again.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

No, we're not.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You know we are.

[Host/Interviewer]

So if you guys go see their live show, make sure that you act. I want them to overact how new this is.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Whoa, whoa, okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

The sit down joke. The sit down joke is really enjoyable.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

So there was a moment in Orlando, though, when I was telling a story and I thought, you've all heard this on the podcast, haven't you? And the whole audience goes, yes, yes, I know.

[Host/Interviewer]

And sometimes they're too nice to say anything.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

But Kati and I have absolute brain death, so we don't know.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Right, well. And you just say, like, that's part.

[Host/Interviewer]

She just remembered she has an Adam's apple. Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

So sorry. That was that guy's dad.

[Host/Interviewer]

There is one more point I want to hit. This is this says, death equals lady.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

What's going on there, Darby?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, yeah.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Early on in our. In our imho, the show Journey, Darby had a new death story every single time.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Not on purpose. I just find it really interesting.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

When people die, she likes to talk about death.

[Host/Interviewer]

Did you guys used to do lives?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. No. Our show started because we used to do your. Her close and personal friend Soju used to do a live.

[Host/Interviewer]

You should do Soju's live.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Does. So she do drag still?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'm not sure.

[Host/Interviewer]

Wouldn't you know, I don't really know her, honestly.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

What, she came up after she was gone?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

No. You're very close to Soju. That's what Reddit says.

[Host/Interviewer]

I've maybe met her a couple times.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I'm just kidding. I'm with you.

[Host/Interviewer]

I remember her being extremely beautiful. She would get drunk on live.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Extremely.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, yeah.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Shot with Soju.

[Host/Interviewer]

Shot with so.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And that's how she went to a show.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And I was like, well, I can keep going with that.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And then I. Auntie Chan.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Incredible.

[Host/Interviewer]

She working?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah. She's. She's Kimora Hall's truly adopted daughter now.

[Host/Interviewer]

She's fierce girl.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

She's amazing. And then I got jealous and I said, please don't do anything without me. And so I elbowed my way, way in.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah. Chan said, you are a decade older than me. I'm wasting my time. And so luckily, I have my silver medal ready to go.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Thank you.

[Host/Interviewer]

It's nice to be the second or third choice.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's where I'm comfortable. I like to be in a supportive.

[Host/Interviewer]

Cuz alone, you guys suck. Have nothing.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

And together. This is. Hey, you're Here. Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Thank you.

[Host/Interviewer]

And that's.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

And thank you.

[Host/Interviewer]

And that's what it's about.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

We're putting that on the poster for the next live tour.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Hey, we're here.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yes.

[Sponsor/Advertisement Voice]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Well, how long have you guys worked together now?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, my God.

[Host/Interviewer]

Got to be pushing dead years, right?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

We started.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, we 14.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Wow. It's long.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Because we started at Hydrate. Doing there was like the Snow White and the Seven Drag Queens.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Remember that?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah. And so we would do that. We did that together.

[Host/Interviewer]

Fierce.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yes. We've known each other for a while, but I got to say, knowing you as a girl is so much more fun.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

But I. Since I. We fought on stage at Vidcon last year, and I called her a dumb. In front of a bunch of children.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

You heard about it?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

But I think it's because I have a personality disorder.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

So I'm.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I'm really sorry, But I put in my time with you as an undercover boy. This is just my version of that.

[Host/Interviewer]

Of course, you know, we. We accept the love we think we deserve, so. I don't know what happened to you.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Well, thank God I have a boyfriend now, and he's really lovely and nice and hot, and we're gonna have to wrap up.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Understand? She painted his penis green and put a hat. Like a witch's hat on.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I took a picture. I had an Elphaba doll, and I put the hat on it. And then in Photoshop, I painted it green. I actually do that.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

The second Wicked was so bad.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, wait. You know what?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

What?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

We're gonna let Trixie run the show for a couple.

[Host/Interviewer]

Third one was fierce.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, I love the third one.

[Host/Interviewer]

The third one.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh, my God. When the. The munchkins all start. I'm sorry. I've been watching a lot of weird videos. I have to tell you this.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I miss Dunkin Donuts. Do you miss Dunkin' Donuts?

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

It was this guy. There's one little hot twink guy much like you. Not you, much like you. And his whole thing is that his. His penis is small, and he loves that it's small. And I think that's br. I think that's beautiful.

[Host/Interviewer]

I don't super care about.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I don't either.

[Host/Interviewer]

You. Thank you guys so much for. No, I was going to say. I was going to say. I don't. I really super do not care about smaller, small.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Oh, no, we don't.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

That's the point.

[Host/Interviewer]

Life. If you care. Sorry, everyone.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah, my dad cares. My dad has a micro penis. Nick Nixon. Anyway, so I I click on his video because he's hot. And I'm like, yeah, let's go small penis. And he has his phone like here. And he comes and then he goes.

[Host/Interviewer]

I'm sorry, was this in Wicked three?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

This was in Wicked three.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Climax, right?

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Yeah. Goon news.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

So he comes and then he looks in the camera and he goes, I told you my little guy would make a mess.

[Host/Interviewer]

If you guys want to see these people, they're online. And you also can. You also can. He said that you can actually thumbs down this video and maybe you'll never see them again. And maybe never see us again.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

We'd like to thank you so much for having us.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

like, it's Katya's birthday today.

[Host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

In the hospital. Well.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

And I was like, oh, sure. Katya's out sick on her birthday. And then she posted that also love.

[Host/Interviewer]

Love that she posts a picture with tubes in her nose with no information and just said death comes for us all.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Or love that you know, there's a 14 year old girl.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Maybe she really is sick.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Well, I hope you're getting.

You like it?

[Host/Interviewer]

I do. I've never gotten sick of it.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

You're a runner. That's nice.

[Host/Interviewer]

I can't run anymore because of my arthritis. It's a whole thing. We can't talk about me on the show.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Oh yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

This was about you.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

Okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

Yeah.

[Host/Interviewer]

Okay.

[Darby Lynn Cartwright]

I don't have arthritis, but I do have I did have a ripped butthole for a couple.

[Alexis P. Bevel]

I'll get your number and I'll text you all my questions.

[Host/Interviewer]
