And welcome back to a bonus episode of Lies My Vagina told me, guys, I'm in a bra. So maybe if you're listening on Spotify or Apple or iTunes, you might want to go to YouTube because fuck it, I'm 59 years old. I don't think I'm gonna record too many more in a bra. But it is hot as balls in New York City as we await game fucking five of the Knicks. I'm madly, madly, madly in love with this team. I'm super invested in them winning this championship. My dad used to take me to see the Harlem Globe Trotters like in Montreal when I was like three. So I don't know. I think it's the closest thing to dance. They just fly, and this team is amazing. And that's New York behind me. So listen, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much for season two. What an incredible fucking season we had. I had the most amazing guests. I want to thank everybody that came on my show for such an amazing season. Let's start off with Miss Blossom, Lady of the Canyon. Rat Sweet Pup. When she drove into my bedroom in her 1969 BW, I did not know then that she would be my best friend and my puppy's best friend. But she changed my life and she changed the casa. And we gotta celebrate all things feminine. And I love my blossom. And you know, I do think she is my dead mother reincarnated. They have the same wiggle. And then, oh my god, we got to celebrate, oh, Miss Bianca Lee from O'Merry. And when I got to New York, that lovely lady gave me tickets to go see her and Maya Rudolph on Broadway. And I just want to tell you what a way to come back to New York. Comedy fucking genius. And we got to celebrate this lady's fifth birthday of her vagine. And I just recently celebrate the 59th birthday of my vagine. Seems so fucking unfair. Then we had Sex, Iran, and Rock and Roll with author Roxana Shirazi. That was an incredible fucking brilliant, brilliant woman. And her stories of defiance and resilience in the face of so much atrocity, not only in Iran and in the UK, and in the rock and roll world. It was absolutely awe-inspiring. And then we took a little trip down memory lane. You remember that? We went back to the 90s in the East Village with drag royalty Miss Guy, who I have loved for a very, very long time, even though she's still my boyfriend. It's okay. I get it. It was an amazing episode. It was an amazing homage to a very specific time in New York City that I was lucky enough to be in. And then what the fuck? We all went down to our skivmies with three-time Emmy-nominated costume designer, Michael Holly Cookson, one of my greatest friends, and who taught us how we build characters in movies. It is from your skivvies. From your skivys. Incredible lady, incredible artist. And then, well, you guys know I was trying to get Howie Berry, right? Come on, talk about menopause. She's so good at it, but we couldn't get her. So we got the 14-time new tennis champion of the world, Mr. Randy's Danger Danger. And we learned so much about new tennis. And we learned so much about Jackass because he's so much a part of that. And working with Steve O and all the stunts he's done all over the world and this incredible life and his incredible story. So, you know, sometimes things work out the way they're supposed to. And then holy shit, we had Kelly full throttle Anderson, a glamor fucking drag racer. This woman was so goddamn inspirational. I think she's a grandmother of like 12. And she's a fucking star drag racer, proving to all of us we can do anything at any time, at any age. Then we were over the moon with my dear friend Miss Sonia Walger, superstar, catching her with her second novel, Wife House. Her book Lion was one of my favorite books in the last five years. She's off to play Queen of the Valkyries. You know, that was an amazing episode. And then I have my first threesome. This century. And we had the creator of Gargoyles with Greg Weissman and my lovely co-star Tom Adcox, and we talked all things dirty in animation. We talked about gargoyles' sex, gargoyles' pubic hair. I really hope you found this as enlightening as I did. Then, well, how do you top that? We went live at NAB in Vegas, and I had Showgirl, actress, singer, dancer, Miss Sexy Ass Ruby Lewis come on with me live in front of 20,000, you know, tech guys. It's kind of like doing a show in your underwear. And that was so amazing. We're gonna do a lot more live shows. And then we had singer-songer-composer Mr. Julian Fleischer, one of the greatest live cabaret performers in New York, and one of my dearest friends. And we ended it with Girl Talk with the one and only DJ Mighty Iris, where I suggest that possibly you could die from having too small a dick. I think it was a very, very fucking well-rounded season. I'm really proud of this show. It's doing so well. And you know, we started this off as a little joke and a little lark, and then I just fucking took off. But we're gonna take a break in June because I need to get some more bras. I need to go to Slovakia to get my EU citizenship. I need to dig up this dead guy, and let me tell you, in 2017, when they dug up Salvador Dali, that cost about 7,000 euros. So you know that's gonna be 20 grand to dig up a dead guy. But when you're in it, for the villa, you're in it. So we're starting that process. I'm thinking season three, I might do it from my tub, cause I'm tired, and call it tub talk. Would you come take a tub with me? Or maybe I'll do it all over Europe while I exhume. Some family members, we're not sure, but we're gonna have an amazing season three because comedy's in threes, ladies and gentlemen. But I want to thank my amazing producers, Dr. Princess Leia. She's fabulous, and Jacques Telemac, greatest. Couldn't do it without them. We're gonna be adding such great sponsors to our show this year. Oh my god, my vagina's so excited. I hope yours is too. And remember, the whole premise of this show is to have a place where you can absolutely be uncensored and talk about anything the fuck you want to talk about. There's nobody stopping us. And a reminder that all these mistakes, perceived mistakes, wrong turns, they make the best stories, ladies and gentlemen. So thank you for staying with us on this storytelling podcast. Thanks for uh tuning in to me and my bra and my sparkle tie. And we wish you the greatest summer, and we'll see you really, really soon. Okay? Thank you so much. Kisses and kisses. Bye-bye.
