SPEAKER_00 0:09

And welcome back to another episode of Lies My Vagina Told Me, the podcast where I unpack a lifetime of questionable choices, all made by My Vagina. And hey, where better to do this show than in Vegas? The Mecca of questionable choices. And we are coming to you live from the NAB show at the League of Filmmakers. And I will say we've made one spectacular decision because we have with us a Vegas powerhouse, ladies and gentlemen. She is an actress, a singer, a dancer, a creator, and a goddamn fucking showgirl. Please welcome the dazzling, unstoppable Ruby Lewis. Goddamn right. You welcome.

SPEAKER_01 0:57

And add newscaster to that because look at this. Look at us. Look at that. Live from San Diego.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Weather Bay D. We're. Thank you so much for doing this, Gene. I'm so excited. Do you know that you are our very first live in-person podcast? I've done like 22 of these, and you're number one. I did watch a lot of them, and you're right. Thank you. Wow. I'm usually home alone in underwear, waist down, talking into my computer.

SPEAKER_01 1:23

Well, there's a different energy about being live, and we're also surrounded by thousands of people.

SPEAKER_00 1:28

And so many men. I don't usually discuss my vagina in front of a lot of tech guys. Yeah. It's not usually my main base. I've seen a lot of beards. Yeah, it's uh I've been a beard. Uh but um bum. Okay, so Ruby, let's talk about you because this show is all about you. I just have to say something. Your resume. Then it it is it is from New York to Los Angeles to Las Vegas to fucking Port of Where how did this all start for you?

SPEAKER_01 1:57

I think that it all started. Uh I had my touring 20s, okay. So I moved to New York City right out of college. I went to college in Kentucky. I moved to the big city, but I had already lined up my first tour, which was a bus and truck tour of gypsy. Gypsy. Okay. That meant that we were on a bus um instead of an airplane. And it was with all the children, all the children's mother. So scary. And we and I like I kept my um toothbrush like suction cup to the window. It was that kind of tour. Okay. And then from then it was up and up, and like I I just I ended up falling in love with LA when I was on tour with Greece. And oh, funny story. The first night in LA, I was living, I was renting an Airbnb. This is early days of Airbnb. Okay. Right off Laurel Canyon, and there's a restaurant there called Pache. That's where I live.

SPEAKER_00 2:47

Do you know Pache? Pache's my favorite restaurant.

SPEAKER_01 2:49

Well, we were living, my roommate and I at the time didn't know how good we had it. We were staying just up that hill. We went to Pache for dinner. We're walking up to our Airbnb. And who is at the top of the hill? Eddie Redmain and Jamie Dornen. What? And we went in their rental, which was also our rental, but they were living across the way and had a beer with them. Oh I made fun of Jamie Dornen because he had a Gucci um ad on the fridge of himself. Oh my god. And I tried to sleep with them and it didn't happen. What? They turned us down. Oh well. They turned us down.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

That is unacceptable.

SPEAKER_01 3:23

And then I delivered like little bottles of maker's mark to their door the next day to like suck up so that they would sleep with me.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

And then they still didn't. Oh, I've got so many goddamn stories about that. But I gotta tell you something. With they living up in Laurel Canyon, because all I ever get is once in a while a spotting of Steven Tyler, who looks like a lovely older lady these days, but I love him so fucking much. He's a little bit above me. We also got Chris Robinson, he's my neighbor from The Black Cross. Such a musical, musical canyon. I love a oh my well I had to tell you something about that, just to talk about it for a second. You know, I was like a pretty little starlet naked most of my um career, and I was very popular. But if I hit on the guy, I just couldn't do it. It never happened. I had a crush on so many different actors, and if they crushed on me, we were good to go. But if I had to hit on them, like what you tried, it I just failed. I don't know why.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

I think, yeah, I think it's the coming on too strong. Honestly, I think that Eddie and Jamie thought that my friend Delay and I were not good enough. They were there for pilot season. When they were doing the musical grease at the Pantages. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 4:32

They're like, these girls are not Kira Knightly, these girls are Yeah, but these girls are bad asses because it takes a certain type of performer to be able to do what you did. So you started touring, yeah, and then you say sort of that you got your big start in Vegas. Was it in Cirque du Soleil?

SPEAKER_01 4:51

Yeah, so what happened was I moved to LA after I fell in love with LA from that freaking Laurel Canyon. Because it's magical situation. And the jasmine was blooming at the time, forget about it. Like I thought, oh, LA is like Jamie Doreen. Right. Celebrities and Jasmine. I'm there. So I moved to LA. That's your album cover. Celebrities and Jasmine. Yes. Old. Go. And so then uh I got into CV and film, and then okay. So then I got into this theater company called For the Record, and they're still around, and they I credit my whole career to them. Well, they actually have this beautiful bespoke Spiegel tent down at SoFi Stadium right now. You gotta go see their show. It's insane. Okay. Bug. But we were doing this show at what's now Delilah's in Wii Ho. I know, I know Delilah's. I don't know, Santa Monica. I've never been in it. We were doing a show there, and it was called uh for the record, Baz Lerman, and I was like in it. And then we went to Vegas with the show, and we opened at the light nightclub at Mandalay Bay, and we it was this cult sensation. People freaked out over our show. Oh my god. And and it that's what led to Broadway. It's what led to everything. It became that's how I got my cult following.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

That's just amazing. And you don't have stage fright. Like, how do you feel? I have stage fright right now because we're in front of a whole bunch of people, but do you have stage fright? No. When you get up there, you're just I went, I go to a different place.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

Right. I like lock in. I mean, as I like wipe my sweaty palms right now. I think diff being on camera is different than being on stage. For me, being on stage is like I'm so at home. And I own I feel like I deserve to be there, is the difference.

SPEAKER_00 6:29

To be everywhere in every room on every camera. I'm more comfortable in front of a camera than I am on stage. But I used to love to be on stage because I'm a hoofer, you're a hoofer. We're both tap dancers, ladies and gentlemen. We should probably do a fucking soft shoe in my sneakers a little later just to show you when I line. So down. But I I always had crazy stage fright, like I'm gonna throw up and die. But once I was on, I was okay. But you're just excited.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

I will say, when I was growing up as a dancer, yeah, I got crazy stage fright to where if I was competing, I ran off stage and vomited every single time. A good vomit. Even when I wasn't competing, even when I was like, oh, welcome, petite miss dance. I I won Petite Miss Dance Kentucky when I was like 12, and I went to New York City and competed with my tap dance called Drum Crazy. We got we're gonna find that footage, ladies and gentlemen. And um, anyways, I did not win because the girls who were like they were like professional dancers. But I would run off stage. Competing in dance was that was my stage fright, and I totally get it because I worked myself up to such a a place where I would just have to run away and throw up.

SPEAKER_00 7:43

Yeah, well, you know, it's a release, there's all kinds of releases, as we know in life. Um, I wanted to say, so let me just read you a couple of things because I do have menopause brain. But not only did you become known for your role of Daisy in Baz, as you talked about. You have a top 40 fucking hit, and you are also, if this is not a bucket list, you are also the voice of Malibu Barbie for Mattel. What? Yeah, didn't we all get our Barbies naked and do terribly dirty things to them? Or was that just me? I mean, how the fuck did that happen? Yeah, that's how I discovered scissoring was with my Barbies. Didn't we all, ladies and gentlemen?

SPEAKER_01 8:27

She's like that was a really weird happenstance, like a strange, strange happenstance to where I just got offered this. It was just a weird thing. And I was like, all of a sudden, the voice of Malibu. It was weird. Wow. I honestly don't remember how. She's more valley, like she's she has that valley girl. She's a yeah, that's fantastic. I try not to be like, she's always like, hey guys.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

Oh, she can I just tell you a crazy Mattel story. Yeah. I went out on a date with this guy named Daniel Loeb, and of course I didn't continue dating him because he's a billionaire, and that would have been an interesting decision. Ones that I never like to give it away for free. But he brought me to his fucking grandparents' house in Malibu, and it was Barbie, his grandmother, and grandfather that were Mattel. I mean, they were in their 80s 25 years ago, so that's who was depicted in the movie, the little old Jewish lady. I met them, I went to lunch, and then I didn't think this is a good family to marry into, so I never saw him again. But isn't that crazy? We have so many crazy connections. So many. Okay, but then your career, like if you how do you top that? I'm not really sure. But you somehow do because you became kind of well known for doing these amazing autobiographical, badass, sexy superstar women. You paid Lauren Hutton, Peggy Lee. Now, what show was that? Is it something with Nat King Cole?

SPEAKER_01 10:04

Yeah, I feel like this show might have legs, and it's really um God, it's a pride point of mine. It's called Lights Out, Nat King Cole. We played New York Theater Workshop last year. Amazing.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

Amazing.

SPEAKER_01 10:16

Um he just hosted SNL Coleman Domingo uh wrote co-wrote it. He did with um, yes, with Patricia McGregor. This has legs. And so to work with Coleman was incredible, and Patricia McGregor directed it, and she's the artistic director of New York Theater Workshop. Um, it starred Dooley Hill. It I mean, and there's tap dance in it. And you played, do you play both? I play Betty Hutton and Peggy Lee. So that was kind of like I started playing these roles, and I played Marilyn Monroe here in Vegas. We were gonna talk about that. And I was like, wow, am I like kind of an old Hollywood gal?

SPEAKER_00 10:50

You are, you have you have that fucking vibe. I funny uh little side note my name is Bridget Raquel Baco. I'm named after two sex symbols, Bridget Bardot and Raquel Welsh. They have really fucking high hopes, but I've not yet been able to transfer that to my personal life or to this stage. So I think the fuck you did it.

SPEAKER_01 11:12

You I think you're a pretty exuberant and pretty sexy.

SPEAKER_00 11:18

Okay, of these three iconic women, and I heard a rumor that the Marilyn Monroe, that was on this trip, correct, at the Paris, the Marilyn Monroe musical was actually endorsed by Marilyn's estate. Yes. Is that true? Yes, you got their blessing? Yes. Who the fuck is the Marilyn Monroe estate? Because who's the case?

SPEAKER_01 11:40

Okay, I can't remember the name of the company. But it's the it's it's a company out of Los Angeles, it starts with an A, it's three letters. I'm sorry, I don't remember. I'm sorry, I don't remember. Like awesome nice ass. No, I I think but they have like multiple. They have multiple. They have Jackie Robinson, they have James Dean, they have they handle the affairs of these superstars, these legends. It's like an agency for dead people, basically. Same as my agency for dead people.

SPEAKER_00 12:10

Almost dead people. Okay, so of these three iconic, iconic superstar, super sex symbol bomb shows, which was the hardest to do, which the one spoke to you the most, which one do you feel the closest to? What'd you learn them from?

SPEAKER_01 12:26

Like, what'd you learn? I mean, I had to I learned the most about Marilyn because I was like on stage for 90 minutes non-stop. It was just you. It was a musical, so there were people surrounding me, but I went from I started the show Dead in the Bed, I ended the show Dead in the Bed.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

But and everything in between was like the early days of when Dead in the Bed is uh sums up my career in the 90s. Go ahead, go ahead. Dead in the bed and naked. Go ahead. Please get to sorry to interrupt. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_01 12:56

So I got to know her really well, and I actually got really quite obsessed with her death. And like, I I think she was murdered. Me too. Um, I think somebody like placed her enema with barbichwitz and blamed it on her. Yeah. Um because she was a queen and she was an angel, and she would not have done that. No. Anyway, so funny story. I mean, I got to know her really well, and I God, I mean, I I consider her an angel. And here's the thing she proved to me that she is an angel because opening night, it was June 1st, her birthday, and we pushed opening. We we shouldn't have opened that night. We weren't quite ready, but it was her birthday and we were insistent. I understand. So then we didn't have the whole set, nothing. But I'm dead in the bed. We they called places, I'm naked, dead in the bed, ready to start the show. But there's like this huge crowd, and they're and we hold, we we held the show for like 30 minutes, but I nobody told me. So I'm waiting, and I'm so nervous because I was just like, We're we opened prematurely, and I'm like, uh, I just really want to do a good job. And then we keep waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. And I was like, oh my god. So I prayed to her. Yeah. I was like, oh my god, please be with me, please help me. And I swear to God, the sheet on the bed, uh, there was like wind. There was wind, and the sheet goes, I swear to God. I believe in this stuff. I love this stuff, Marilyn. And I was like, gave you a blessing. Instantly calm. She's my angel. She's your angel. I mean, she's everybody's angel.

SPEAKER_00 14:17

I know, but what an angel. What a what an angel to have watching over you. That is incredible. How long did that show run for?

SPEAKER_01 14:24

We only ran for two weeks. Why? It's so there's something about Vegas where shows close after two weeks. And I don't know if it's you know that in the musical the producers. Yes. Yes. Kind of feels like that.

SPEAKER_00 14:38

Yes. Oh, I understand. But you can't know these things come back around all the time. And the show that you're doing with New York, I did not know that Coleman Domingo was part of that. I have my pre-Michael Jackson ticket for one day before where I want nobody near me because I'm gonna scream and I'm gonna cry and I want to be alone. And uh, you know, friends are like, should I go with you? I'm like, fucking don't come with me. I need to, you know. I thought I was gonna marry Michael. I'm black off, you know, off the wall, Jerry curled Michael. And that did that, that was one of her she made a mistake. Um, that was one of her lies. I'm sorry that didn't work out. I'm just I'm sorry it didn't work out for him, but Jafar, Jafar, he just got kind of it's like we what we all wished for Michael that he just stayed black and jerry-curled and beautiful. So I'm really rooting for this guy. I hope it's great. I'm still gonna cry no matter what. Doesn't it? I can't wait. I just can't wait. Okay, so listen, but I think the most important thing of all the things we talked about is the fact that because I I am a creator, and you, in fact, you are not just a gorgeous, fabulous superstar, actress, singer, dancer, and everything in between, but you write and create your own shows. Ladies, that's where the power is. Tell us about that.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

Tell us about the shows you've created. It's so funny when I you sit down to create. For me, I have to go to a coffee shop. Okay. Somehow it starts flowing out. But it's like kind of this researcher in me that I liked to build this the show that I built, Starlet, it unfolds like in such a spiritual way when you're really you're seeking. Well, I was seeking to celebrate these women and to keep them to keep their stories alive, but not just like their stories as actresses, their stories as activists, wonderful, as like women who like challenge the status quo. And guess what? They all did. Who do you play? How many different characters? In Starlet, I start the show as um Marlena Dietrich, and I love talking about how she pushed the envelope as far as um like androgyny, and she was out as a bisexual woman. And in that time, I'm thinking, damn girl, that's amazing, you know. And so then I lean into uh uh I mean Peggy Lee was one to like she really fought the system for her um for her rights to her music. She fought Disney for God's sake, like when she was writing for it. Yeah, she's you know, they they've just they stood up and said, like, I am what I am, and I'm woman, hear me roar. A lot of these women and and and even Marilyn did. But it guess what? It gets like pushed under the rug. People don't talk about it, they don't talk about how delicate they were and how they were pretty strong, wasn't she? Strong as hell. I mean, she built her way, she built her own production company, she said, screw you, I'm producing my own shit and writing my own shit. And yes, and oh most of these women did. I mean, Judy Garland.

SPEAKER_00 17:31

Um it seems that the women that took their own power into their own hands, like from the vagine up, and they said, I'm gonna do this. There's been so much peril that has come to these women. Yeah. And I mean, even recently, like in Hollywood with the predators and everything of the Me Too movement, they never really focused on women who weren't powerful in Hollywood. They went after the women that they thought they have too much power in Hollywood, which is so fucking interesting. But we're changing that, man. We're we're bringing your shows like yours are bringing it to the light. So who else do you you you do, Marilyn, you do Marlena? Oh my god, Debbie Reynolds. Debbie Reynolds!

SPEAKER_01 18:09

Yeah. Oh god, how many? I think I could do 12 of them. Well, who am I?

SPEAKER_00 18:13

This is crazy.

SPEAKER_01 18:15

Yeah, it's crazy. Well, it's basically my in my research. I I thought, okay, I wanted to do the the Starlit. Who actually sing it sang in their own films? Because I I'm a singer, so I'm trying to find songs that they featured in their films, and it was just a lot of fun. Betty Hutton was shared. You know, she got she got what she beat Judy Garland out of the role in Annie Get Your Gun. I never knew that. She beat Judy Garland out for the role, and now it's like she she's she's like the bet most badass of them all. Is she really Betty Hutton? Betty Hutton. Wow. She's the one who's like, anything you can do, I can do it better. Yeah, and she's like, Yes, I can. Yes, I can.

SPEAKER_00 18:56

I mean, she's gonna be a career here right now at Jenny B. Okay, that's good. I mean, listen, and where is this show? Are you still workshopping it? Is it is it playing?

SPEAKER_01 19:08

Here's the thing about creating. Okay, so I've made the show. It was around COVID time. I did the show. I I sat it down here in Vegas, workshopped it here. Beautiful place to workshop a show because it's a it's an amazingly supportive community for artists here. And like it's like people come around and it's not there's no judgment like New York or LA. Yeah, New York tough. There's no like, hmm, you wonder, it's just like people are really enjoying themselves. So I workshopped it here, I took it to Puerto Bayrata, I did it in LA, I did it in New York, and then I was afraid that it was tired. So I like let it fly.

SPEAKER_00 19:41

Sometimes you have to put this stuff down for a bit, and then you find it again. I when I write a script, I like to leave it alone, go to Italy, uh go on vacation, and then come back to it and go, that was fucking brilliant. Why can't you put it down? You've got to put that right back up. Did you find that too?

SPEAKER_01 19:58

Yeah, it's still, it's it's still just I I come up with stuff all the time for it. It's it's evolving. It evolves. It's it's evolving, and I wonder, I wonder how it's going to be when it's comes to its great fruition.

SPEAKER_00 20:11

Now, you and I are both bi coastal. So, well, I don't know if Vegas is the coast, but I live New York and LA. Yes. And you live Vegas, and you've moved to LA as well. So you do both non-coast. But do you love it? How do you like going back and forth?

SPEAKER_01 20:27

I bop around so much. I mean, I was in New York last year, loved it. I mean, I'm so jealous of you that you do spring and fall in New York. It only takes two husbands and two dogs.

SPEAKER_00 20:36

It's so easy.

SPEAKER_01 20:37

Okay, where do I get those? Um I bop around. I I like keeping my place here in Vegas, like I said, because this community has embraced me.

SPEAKER_00 20:48

So wonderful.

SPEAKER_01 20:49

And I own property. Like, I don't think I could have bought a home in New York or LA. But this is a community that has embraced me in such a way that I can workshop my stuff and it's cheaper than to live.

SPEAKER_00 21:02

And you can work out the kinks of a show and be fabulous and be embraced and then take it on the road. You have that capability to do that.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

And even like my my music video. Yes, your top 40. I wrote that here. I recorded. What is the single's name? It's called Shock Value.

SPEAKER_00 21:19

Just wanna shock you right tonight. Just wanna shock you right, right, right, right.

SPEAKER_01 21:27

I'm very proud of it. But that was 2021, so that was a long time ago. I decided, oh, I'm not doing that again because it was really expensive and it like never make your own payoff. Yeah. But that even the music video was just shot in an apartment, uh, like a in a commons area in an apartment here in Vegas. I mean, everything is just you can just do it on the f cheap, on the fly, and there are so many there's a there are there are magicians, musicians, acrobats, clowns, right, aerial dancers, aerialists, coupiers. Yeah, like You know, about croupiers.

SPEAKER_00 22:03

How do you learn to be a croupiers? And where does that word come from? Um, it's all can I just tell you my very first time in Vegas, I was probably 21 or 22. I had just come to LA for a movie. We came out here and I had that beginner's luck thing where I fucking won at everything. I won at the thing that they have in the restaurants. I have I wanted blackjack, I want to the point where they wanted to make sure I was not cheating the system. I thought you were a witch. I am a witch. Thank you for asking. But um, I wanted everything, and then I came back like six months later thinking I would do it again, and I lost everything in five seconds. What is that? That beginners luck about.

SPEAKER_01 22:43

I don't know. Because sometimes I lock into witchy stuff too, and I run the roulette table, and people are like, oh my god, who is this lady? And I don't know what it is. I think maybe we're just witches.

SPEAKER_00 22:53

We're witches, and you're channeling a lot of really, really fucking powerful ladies. Maybe it depends on who you're with. To bring the witchiness out, to bring the power out. I think so too. I think so too. Okay, so I'm gonna ask you a couple questions. You don't have to answer them if you don't want to, but like, as I said, the the show is a female empowerment show because I'm trying to say that all the decisions, good, bad, and ugly, good, bad, and stupid, that we made growing up as girls to women in this town and in this business and in this life, there really weren't any mistakes. I mean, she may have gotten it wrong a few times, but it led us to the badasses we are today. But do you have any uh did any part of your body make any crazy decisions for you that you were like, uh-oh, but it actually turned out to be fucking amazing.

SPEAKER_01 23:37

Uh my boobs have gotten me places that into which I have used that to my advantage in ways that perhaps my father would not be proud. Mine bought a house.

SPEAKER_00 23:52

I just did.

SPEAKER_01 23:53

Um at one point I bought a domain. Ruby Lewis has amazingboobs.com. Fuck you, I wanted that one. Oh my god. This is when I learned I was gonna have to show my boobs on Showtime for the first time, like actually show them, and I bought it because I was like, if I'm gonna have fans.

SPEAKER_00 24:09

You're so fucking smart. You're so much smarter than me. I gave these boobs away for free. I gave the vagine away for free. I didn't have a domain for anything, and I really could have. I really could have. Guess what?

SPEAKER_01 24:22

Nobody visit my domain though. Like, I was checking Google Analytics and nobody was Googling my boobs.

SPEAKER_00 24:28

And they will come. Now, what show is this on Showtime? I know this is really exciting.

SPEAKER_01 24:33

Okay, so my initial on-camera sex scene and showing my boobs was on Masters of Sex on Showtime.

SPEAKER_00 24:42

Great show.

SPEAKER_01 24:42

And the woman who gave me the pep talk for the sex scene slash nudity was Lizzie Kaplan. And she told me, yes, she said when she first had to like bop up and down on a you know on screen.

SPEAKER_00 24:56

Yeah, bopping.

SPEAKER_01 24:58

Um, I think she said it was uh True Blood. True blood.

SPEAKER_00 25:02

No, you know this holdman.

SPEAKER_01 25:06

So on True Blood, when she first had to do this, she was like, She's in the makeup trailer, and I'm terrified. And she said, When I had to do that on True Blood, I took three shots of whiskey. I have whiskey in my trailer. Yes, absolutely. Do you want some? Um, the answer was yes. Even I don't drink and I would have taken it. No, I said no. I said no, because I've just I didn't know what to do. I was like, I need to be with you. His name is uh Nick Dugusto. Okayusto. Cute. Okay, that helped. So nice. But when I tell you it was like we had to like start here, and he was just wearing a tiny patch over his yes, I know the patch. Like just a patch. I hope not too tiny. It was a scene. Well, I covered enough, you know, but I was still down there. The scene was like it's set in the 50s, and he's asking her to go down on him, and she's like reticent because she's just young nurse, and she's like, doesn't know. But legit, I'm like down there.

SPEAKER_00 26:02

You're down there. You get to meet your co-stars up in personal. That's why it's really nice if they're cool, because I was really cool. Even though with the camera can't see the jingle jungly jingaloo, you're gonna have to like I was saying that Patrick Dempsey and I did a love scene, and he we were both in these neoprene diapers. But he he has large round things, and one was coming out of one side and one was cut, it couldn't contain the bologes.

SPEAKER_01 26:28

Well, what would you say that Las Vegas, since you live in more than one city, does Las Vegas bring out one's true personality or the worst part or the best part? What do you think it does? Because it really takes your inhibition away.

And I think that's why when I I came back, I did my show in New York, um, Paramore closed, on Broadway, it closed. I came back here, I got back into Baths, and there was something about Vegas that made me feel invincible. Like, truly, I was like, I'm buying a house, I'm doing this, I'm getting this, I got this. I mean, I've started like really being like, hey, I'm owning, I'm owning this town.
