for the driver to start hitting
on me. He started hitting
on me like that.

348

He was like, "So, you just
starting work or you're
just getting off."

Blah, blah, blah.

the car was an automatic,

up the sides of my dresses.

00:33:47,677 --> 00:33:50,376
By the way,
who had to go through
lockdown with a partner?

663
00:33:50,419 --> 00:33:52,856
Raise your hand if you had to
go through like I see it.

664
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:54,206
Okay, yeah, some of you.

665
00:33:54,249 --> 00:33:56,208
It was fucking awful, wasn't it?

666
00:33:56,904 --> 00:33:58,514
I know you can't say it,

667
00:33:58,558 --> 00:34:00,081
because the moment you do

668
00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:01,865
it's gonna be
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

669
00:34:01,909 --> 00:34:03,302
all over again at your house.

670
00:34:03,345 --> 00:34:04,868
You're gonna go
at each other throats

671
00:34:04,912 --> 00:34:07,567
like, I am in this apartment!

672
00:34:07,610 --> 00:34:10,918
But yeah, my partner isn't here
so I can say it clearly.

673
00:34:10,961 --> 00:34:13,399
It was fucking terrible,
I hated it.

674
00:34:13,442 --> 00:34:17,446
You know, like,
living with a partner
under the best circumstances

675
00:34:17,490 --> 00:34:19,927
is awful, you know?

676
00:34:19,970 --> 00:34:22,843
Living with a partner
is like being haunted.

677
00:34:24,671 --> 00:34:27,761
Weird shit appears
in your drains.

678
00:34:27,804 --> 00:34:30,981
You get woken up by
bizarre noises at night.

679
00:34:31,025 --> 00:34:32,983
You leave the kitchen
for five seconds

680
00:34:33,027 --> 00:34:36,900
and come back and all the
cabinets are open for no reason.

681
00:34:36,944 --> 00:34:38,467
And if it goes on
for long enough,

682
00:34:38,511 --> 00:34:41,905
your parents try
to get a priest involved.

683
00:34:41,949 --> 00:34:46,910
But living with a partner
in lockdown is 1000 times worse.

684
00:34:46,954 --> 00:34:50,262
It's like this show where
there's only two characters,

685
00:34:50,305 --> 00:34:53,134
one set, and the
only plot development

686
00:34:53,178 --> 00:34:54,918
is screaming!

687
00:34:56,355 --> 00:34:59,836
It's like you're stuck
in a Sawmovie, you know?

688
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,882
Or any David Mamet
play ever written.

689
00:35:03,057 --> 00:35:05,015
That was just
for the theater nerds!

690
00:35:06,974 --> 00:35:09,585
I was like, I could cut it
but I know there's
one person

691
00:35:09,629 --> 00:35:11,718
in very thick glasses
that's going to love that.

692
00:35:13,328 --> 00:35:15,156
Like, "Mmm-hmm, yeah,

693
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,115
"That's true of his oeuvre."

694
00:35:18,420 --> 00:35:21,075
No, but it's true,
I fucking hate it, and uh...

695
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:23,338
You know, it's not like
I don't love my boyfriend,

696
00:35:23,382 --> 00:35:24,774
I really do, you know.

697
00:35:24,818 --> 00:35:26,646
As a top...

698
00:35:26,689 --> 00:35:29,736
I can say his hole
is greater than the sum
of his parts, you know?

699
00:35:31,781 --> 00:35:34,001
And after four years,

700
00:35:34,044 --> 00:35:36,525
we still love having sex.
You know?

701
00:35:36,569 --> 00:35:38,223
Sometimes even with each other.

702
00:35:40,964 --> 00:35:43,141
Yeah, this is the part
in the show where...

703
00:35:43,184 --> 00:35:44,707
[AUDIENCE WHOOPING]

704
00:35:51,975 --> 00:35:53,803
This is the part in the show
where I admit

705
00:35:53,847 --> 00:35:56,458
that I have no idea
what's going on with
my relationship right now.

706
00:35:56,502 --> 00:35:59,113
Like, I can't tell
if we are open or closed

707
00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:02,116
but if I think about it
carefully, I think
we're just a jar.

708
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,205
You know what
I'm saying? Like, uh...

709
00:36:04,249 --> 00:36:06,425
We tried to close it,
it just didn't latch.

710
00:36:06,468 --> 00:36:11,038
And I remember, like,
when we first
tried to close the relationship.

711
00:36:11,081 --> 00:36:14,172
I think my boyfriend
had been thinking about
everything that we'd shared

712
00:36:14,215 --> 00:36:16,739
and all the trust
that we'd built together.

713
00:36:16,783 --> 00:36:18,698
I was sitting in the living room

714
00:36:18,741 --> 00:36:21,004
and he came in and he just
looked at me in the eyes

715
00:36:21,048 --> 00:36:23,137
and he was like,
"You know, I've been thinking,

716
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:25,400
"I don't want to sleep
with other people anymore".

717
00:36:25,444 --> 00:36:28,795
And I was like, "Oh, my God.

718
00:36:28,838 --> 00:36:32,102
"That's so crazy, I was thinking
the same thing, you know.

719
00:36:32,146 --> 00:36:34,322
"I don't want you to sleep
with other people anymore..."

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

721
00:36:36,498 --> 00:36:38,500
"...either, you know?"

722
00:36:38,544 --> 00:36:41,895
"Anyway, I'm gonna
go get wrecking balled
like Miley Cyrus."

723
00:36:41,938 --> 00:36:43,418
[AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING]

724
00:36:46,291 --> 00:36:49,119
"I will see you after dinner."
You know? [LAUGHING]

725
00:36:50,251 --> 00:36:52,558
So, I guess it's open
in so far as,

726
00:36:52,601 --> 00:36:54,212
in so much as,

727
00:36:54,255 --> 00:36:56,866
I'm doing whatever
the hell I want.
You know what I'm saying?

728
00:36:56,910 --> 00:36:59,217
But I just don't
want to label it as open

729
00:36:59,260 --> 00:37:01,523
because like, don't judge me,

730
00:37:01,567 --> 00:37:06,224
but I think open relationships
are [YODELING] hilarious.

731
00:37:06,267 --> 00:37:07,616
Okay?

732
00:37:07,660 --> 00:37:10,837
Like, when you go out
with an open couple,

733
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,796
you're going out to brunch,
you're having, like, mimosas,

734
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,277
and you want to
ask the question.
You're drunk enough.

735
00:37:16,321 --> 00:37:19,498
You're like, "So what is it like
being in an open relationship?"

736
00:37:19,541 --> 00:37:22,414
You always get the same answer
from both parties.

737
00:37:22,457 --> 00:37:24,546
It just means two
very different things.

738
00:37:24,590 --> 00:37:27,070
You know, you ask
the first guy, and he's like,

739
00:37:27,114 --> 00:37:28,158
"It's great".

740
00:37:28,202 --> 00:37:29,899
You're like, oh, okay.

741
00:37:29,943 --> 00:37:31,858
You ask the second guy
and he's like, [DEJECTED]
"It's great".

742
00:37:31,901 --> 00:37:33,294
You're like...

743
00:37:36,123 --> 00:37:38,908
"What's going on
behind your eyes, like,

744
00:37:38,952 --> 00:37:40,910
"blink twice
if you're in trouble".

advantage of it
more often than I do,

You're like, whoa, stop, okay?

00:37:52,922 --> 00:37:54,576
Hold up a newspaper
with the date,

750
00:37:54,620 --> 00:37:56,709
is this a hostage situation?

751
00:37:56,752 --> 00:37:58,014
Like, what's happening?

752
00:37:58,058 --> 00:38:00,147
And like, not to do
a sidebar on a sidebar,

753
00:38:00,190 --> 00:38:02,802
But I would like to say
that those miserable
open couples

754
00:38:02,845 --> 00:38:04,499
are the very first
people in the world

755
00:38:04,543 --> 00:38:07,807
to have the most annoying,
obnoxious couples Instagrams.

"Out at the grocery store
with bae," and, like,
"In the bathroom with bae."

00:38:13,378 --> 00:38:15,728
I was like,
why are you brainwashing us

-that you're together?
Do you know what I mean?

and fool yourselves?

it's so wonderful because
there always comes that day,

when you go to one of their

-and, uh, it's blank...
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:36,357
...except for, like, a picture
of some pancakes, a dog,
and a selfie from 2015,

-and they've had
to delete everything else.

"Trouble in paradise."

There's something
rotten in Denmark.
Um, yeah, just like...

I love that. I love when
people build themselves
up on the Internet,

770
00:38:55,855 --> 00:38:59,424
that way, when it
all catches fire, I have
something to warm my hands by.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS
AND APPLAUDS]

772
00:39:01,948 --> 00:39:05,386
And I wouldn't light
a relationship on fire.
I wouldn't. I'm not like that.

I'd like to enjoy it.

It's going to burn anyway.

Uh, but, yeah,
like I said, I don't judge.

776
00:39:13,307 --> 00:39:17,093
I think that, you know,
in this world where
there's so little love,

777
00:39:17,137 --> 00:39:21,184
you've got to keep
the love you have
by any means necessary.

778
00:39:21,228 --> 00:39:25,319
and, sometimes, that means
giving each other a little
space, a little freedom.

779
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:28,366
And, sometimes,
it means indulging
each other's fantasies.

about? You know, like...

-You know what I mean?
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

809

Because he's young
and muscly,

gets old and wrinkly,
will that fade, you know?

823
00:41:35,144 --> 00:41:38,974
Anyway, what the fuck
was I talking about?

824
00:41:39,018 --> 00:41:41,020
Oh, that's right.
I was talking
about the Quarantine 15.

825
00:41:41,063 --> 00:41:44,066
Uh, [CHUCKLES]
yeah, sorry.
I got sidetracked.

826
00:41:44,110 --> 00:41:47,809
Just to let you know,
as you may have noticed
by now, it's true.

827
00:41:47,853 --> 00:41:50,638
My comedy does meander, okay?

828
00:41:50,682 --> 00:41:53,075
But, uh, "meander"
isn't a bad word.

829
00:41:53,119 --> 00:41:56,339
It actually comes from
the ancient Greek "Meandros,"

830
00:41:56,383 --> 00:42:01,475
which is the name
of a river that wanders
all over the place, okay?

831
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:03,782
But here's the thing
about the river.

832
00:42:03,825 --> 00:42:08,526
Its waters always find their way
to their destination, the sea.

833
00:42:08,569 --> 00:42:12,530
And my comedy will always
find its way to its destination,

834
00:42:12,573 --> 00:42:15,445
-your hearts, okay?
-AUDIENCE: Aw.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

839
00:42:36,815 --> 00:42:40,732
Anyway, I was talking
about the Quarantine 15,
and how I went

840
00:42:40,775 --> 00:42:44,387
from Nightmare Before Christmas
to Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

841
00:42:44,431 --> 00:42:47,434
in, like,
a series of a few months,
it was so fucking awful.

842
00:42:47,477 --> 00:42:50,219
And the thing is, like,
I don't mind the extra weight.

843
00:42:50,263 --> 00:42:52,134
Do you guys like
how it looks on my body?

844
00:42:52,178 --> 00:42:54,049
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

845
00:42:56,312 --> 00:42:57,749
It feels good too.

846
00:42:57,792 --> 00:43:00,055
I like to touch myself,
and now, I'm always touching

847
00:43:00,099 --> 00:43:03,189
because my thighs
are constantly together, like,

848
00:43:03,232 --> 00:43:05,974
we love
a little friction, right?
We love that.

849
00:43:06,018 --> 00:43:09,238

[IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE]
It keeps me warm, you know?

850
00:43:09,282 --> 00:43:11,937
And, yeah, so, I don't mind it,
but it's just, like,

851
00:43:11,980 --> 00:43:14,243
the feedback that I get from
the world that's so awful.

852
00:43:14,287 --> 00:43:18,900
Like, someone on Twitter
had the audacity to ask,
"Are you pregnant?"

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

854
00:43:20,685 --> 00:43:23,470
And it just, like,
hit me right here,

00:43:23,513 --> 00:43:25,733
-I've been trying,

Gentlemen, uh, [CHUCKLES]
just so you know.

857
00:43:28,780 --> 00:43:32,914
Yeah. And someone
on YouTube commented
on one of my videos

858
00:43:32,958 --> 00:43:35,003
and they were like,
and I quote

859
00:43:35,047 --> 00:43:37,789
"You finally look feminine
now that you've put on weight,"

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

861
00:43:39,921 --> 00:43:43,098
And I was like,
"Thank you for Eiffel Towering

-"I appreciate being

00:43:46,972 --> 00:43:50,497
And then someone who wrote

who reviews
RuPaul's drag race said

865
00:43:52,368 --> 00:43:55,763
that my hips are so wide,
I look short by comparison,

867
00:43:57,635 --> 00:44:00,899
Well, like,
I don't fucking need this
and it gets into your head.

868
00:44:00,942 --> 00:44:03,771
And it kind of has
fucked up my relationships
with my friends,

-especially
my skinny ones.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

870
00:44:06,513 --> 00:44:09,472
One of my skinny friends
called me in the middle
of lockdown.

871
00:44:09,516 --> 00:44:11,997
She was like, "I think
I got the COVID 19."
And I was like,

00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,827
"You're lucky, bitch.

"How do you stay skinny
through all this bullshit?"

876
00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:27,708

and it has made my relationship
with my family 10 times worse,

as if that needed
to happen. Um...

882
00:44:42,288 --> 00:44:44,856
As you can imagine,
there's plenty of reasons

883
00:44:44,899 --> 00:44:47,423
for my family
to criticize me at this point,

884
00:44:47,467 --> 00:44:50,122
Like, especially my grandmother.

885
00:44:50,165 --> 00:44:52,864
I have, like,
the classic Jewish grandmother,

886
00:44:52,907 --> 00:44:56,171
and she sounds like,
"Maxwell, this is
your grandmother."

887
00:44:56,215 --> 00:44:59,958
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
-"You haven't called me
all day today."

00:45:00,001 --> 00:45:01,524
You know, that kind of thing.

889
00:45:01,568 --> 00:45:04,571
And she... When she
found out that I was gay,

890
00:45:04,614 --> 00:45:07,530
she used to call me
every morning, and...
This is true.

891
00:45:07,574 --> 00:45:10,490
She used to call me
every morning and say, like,

892
00:45:10,533 --> 00:45:13,058
"Did you know that sucking dick
will give you throat cancer?"

893

-And she would read me articles
like medical articles about it.

894
00:45:17,149 --> 00:45:21,414
And I was like, "Okay, weird."
And now that I put on
the weight,

895
00:45:21,457 --> 00:45:24,373
she talks to me
about sucking dick
and about dieting.

896
00:45:24,417 --> 00:45:27,899

a relative be so concerned
with what I swallowed.

trying to get at

is just accepting yourself,
accepting your trash behavior.

but I am someone
with a strong feeling
from experience,

969
00:49:19,608 --> 00:49:23,308
that accepting yourself
as you are, as you look,
as you act,

970
00:49:23,351 --> 00:49:28,878
accepting your history,
that is the only way
to find real happiness. Okay?

971
00:49:28,922 --> 00:49:34,101
And I've tried other ways,
and they just don't work.

For example, one of the things
that I tried when I was younger

was to find happiness
through men.

all terrible. Um...

00:49:45,417 --> 00:49:47,506
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
-I should have
learned my lesson,

977
00:49:47,549 --> 00:49:49,769
but there was
one last relationship.

978
00:49:49,812 --> 00:49:52,685
I was with this guy
solely for the purpose
of having a guy,

979
00:49:52,728 --> 00:49:56,689
and I thought it was going
to bring me happiness,
but he had no time for me.

980
00:49:56,732 --> 00:49:58,169
And I couldn't figure out why.

981
00:49:58,212 --> 00:50:01,346
Because his job did not seem
that fucking demanding.

982
00:50:01,389 --> 00:50:04,479
Well, it all became clear
one day when I was

983
00:50:04,523 --> 00:50:09,484
walking down the street
in my neighborhood, and I
saw him come out of a church

984
00:50:09,528 --> 00:50:13,053
-with his wife and kids.
-[AUDIENCE GASPS]

985
00:50:13,097 --> 00:50:15,664
When he saw me see him,

986
00:50:15,708 --> 00:50:18,928
he went whiter than the cast
of The Crownon Netflix.
You know what I mean?

987
00:50:18,972 --> 00:50:21,670
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
-Just... [GASPS]

988
00:50:21,714 --> 00:50:24,586
[IN MOCK ITALIAN ACCENT]
And I was single again.
You know what I mean?

989
00:50:24,630 --> 00:50:28,503
I don't know why that needed
an Italian accent, but it did.
You know? Just like...

990
00:50:28,547 --> 00:50:30,375
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

991
00:50:32,333 --> 00:50:34,118
I'm gonna level with you.

992
00:50:34,161 --> 00:50:37,077
I have tried to be
very honest in this show,

993
00:50:37,121 --> 00:50:41,995
about my body,
about my history,
about my behavior,

994
00:50:42,039 --> 00:50:45,477
and that's because
I think it's only funny
if it's true, you know?

995
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,306
So, I wanted
to build this trust with you,

996
00:50:48,349 --> 00:50:51,483
where you knew
everything I was saying
is an actual fact.

997
00:50:51,526 --> 00:50:55,139
Like, I fact checked everything
with my family and my friends

998
00:50:55,182 --> 00:50:57,358
so that we could
trust each other here.

999
00:50:57,402 --> 00:51:01,362
And, because of that,
I don't want to break
that trust now.

1000
00:51:01,406 --> 00:51:03,060
So, I'm going
to tell you something.

1001
00:51:03,103 --> 00:51:06,498
I wrote this entire show
from the loving arms

1002
00:51:06,541 --> 00:51:09,631
of a beautiful
four-year relationship.

1003
00:51:09,675 --> 00:51:13,418
And then, when I was
in the last five minutes
of writing,

1004
00:51:13,461 --> 00:51:17,639
my fiance left me
out of nowhere,

1005
00:51:17,683 --> 00:51:20,294
and, um, it was crazy.

1006
00:51:20,338 --> 00:51:23,515
He said it was because
of my temper or something.

1007
00:51:23,558 --> 00:51:25,256
But I didn't quite
hear him because

1008
00:51:25,299 --> 00:51:28,302
-he mumbles and I was
[SCREAMS] screaming.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

1009
00:51:28,346 --> 00:51:30,696
Um, but, yeah... He was clearly
in the wrong, by the way.

1010
00:51:30,739 --> 00:51:33,133
Uh... [CHUCKLES]
So, yeah, he left me,

1011
00:51:33,177 --> 00:51:34,787
and he left me
in a really weird position.

1012
00:51:34,830 --> 00:51:38,095
I had written this show
that has this ring as a prop,

1013
00:51:38,138 --> 00:51:41,402
and it has all these jokes
about being partnered
and everything,

1014
00:51:41,446 --> 00:51:44,623
and I was like, "Fuck me.
What am I going to do?
"I'm gonna have to pretend."

1015
00:51:44,666 --> 00:51:48,279
So, I made this bizarre decision
to keep the ring on

1016
00:51:48,322 --> 00:51:51,151
until I did
the motherfucking show,
and I've been, like,

1017
00:51:51,195 --> 00:51:53,284
hauling this thing around
like, [MIMICKING GOLLUM]
"My precious."

1018
00:51:53,327 --> 00:51:55,547
-Like...
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

1019
00:51:55,590 --> 00:51:58,289
...this entire time,
and it's been really weird.

1020
00:51:58,332 --> 00:52:01,683
So, what I want
to do now is, say this,

1021
00:52:01,727 --> 00:52:04,512
You know, I've done the show
pretty much at this point.

1022
00:52:04,556 --> 00:52:07,036
I can take
this motherfucker off.
So, if you don't mind,

1023
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,387
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

1024
00:52:31,496 --> 00:52:34,412
-"Let my people go," you know?
-[AUDIENCE GUFFAWS]

1025
00:52:34,455 --> 00:52:38,416
God, I don't even know
what to do with this thing,
and it feels so weird.

1026
00:52:38,459 --> 00:52:41,941
-It was, like, $25.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

1027
00:52:41,984 --> 00:52:44,378
I might, like,
give it away after the show.

1028
00:52:44,422 --> 00:52:45,988
It looks so strange.
Like I have...

1029
00:52:46,032 --> 00:52:49,209
I can see this mole again.
This is so bizarre. Um...

1030
00:52:49,253 --> 00:52:51,864
Uh, Caitlyn, I didn't cry, okay?

1031
00:52:51,907 --> 00:52:56,738
-So, here we go.
And I want to th...
-[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

1032
00:53:23,156 --> 00:53:26,594
Thank you so much.
You guys are my real friends.
I appreciate that.

1033
00:53:26,638 --> 00:53:29,380
I recognize some of your faces.
It makes me happy.

1034
00:53:29,423 --> 00:53:32,513
But the reason
I wanted to take that ring off

1035
00:53:32,557 --> 00:53:35,081
was because I wanted us
to be on the same page

1036
00:53:35,124 --> 00:53:37,866
when I told my very last story
of the evening.

1037
00:53:37,910 --> 00:53:39,694
I wanted us to be up to speed.

1038
00:53:39,738 --> 00:53:44,482
And, so, I want to tell you
a final story about love,

1039
00:53:44,525 --> 00:53:47,093
the story of how I met
the love of my life.

1040
00:53:47,136 --> 00:53:51,097
So, ten years ago,
I was going home using

1041
00:53:51,140 --> 00:53:53,317
my favorite form
of transportation,

1042
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,885
-drunken stumbling.
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

1043
00:53:58,147 --> 00:54:01,499
It was a snowy night
and I was almost home.

1044
00:54:01,542 --> 00:54:04,763
I had my keys in the front door
of my building

1045
00:54:04,806 --> 00:54:08,157
when I saw this
very tall, handsome guy

1046
00:54:08,201 --> 00:54:10,725
carrying a bookshelf
through the blizzard,

1047
00:54:10,769 --> 00:54:13,728
and I was like,
"Maybe if I help him,
he'll help me."

1048
00:54:13,772 --> 00:54:16,296
-You know what I'm saying? So...
-[AUDIENCE WHOOPS]

1049
00:54:16,340 --> 00:54:19,473
Like my mom, a good Samaritan,
you know what I'm saying?

1050
00:54:19,517 --> 00:54:21,562
So, uh, I played with my tits...

1051
00:54:21,606 --> 00:54:23,434
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
-So, I...

1052
00:54:23,477 --> 00:54:26,480
I went and
I offered my help, okay?

1053
00:54:26,524 --> 00:54:29,135
And we ended up
carrying this bookshelf

1054
00:54:29,178 --> 00:54:32,660
six or seven blocks
through the snow,

1055
00:54:32,704 --> 00:54:34,749
and then up six flights
of stairs on walk up,

1056
00:54:34,793 --> 00:54:36,925
and we got
into that dark apartment,

1057
00:54:36,969 --> 00:54:39,014
and I was ready for the moment.
You know what I'm saying?

1058
00:54:39,058 --> 00:54:41,147
And then,
he turned on the light,

1059
00:54:41,190 --> 00:54:44,716
and, all of a sudden,
I saw, like, wigs, and glitter,
and dresses everywhere,

1060
00:54:44,759 --> 00:54:47,327
-and I was like... [SCREAMS]
-[AUDIENCE SCREAMS ALONG]

1061
00:54:47,371 --> 00:54:49,721
I suspected then
what I know now,

1062
00:54:49,764 --> 00:54:53,159
-which is that drag queens
are fucking scary, okay?
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

1063
00:54:53,202 --> 00:54:56,945
So, I was like, "I'm sorry.
I'm not into drag queens.

1064
00:54:56,989 --> 00:55:01,428
"I don't like drag.
I'm getting out of here."
And I ran...

1065
00:55:01,472 --> 00:55:04,649
I was too late, though.
My fate had been sealed.

1066
00:55:04,692 --> 00:55:09,697
He saw where I live.
So, he would come every weekend
and knock on my building,

1067
00:55:09,741 --> 00:55:12,352
come inside,
and say hello and say,

1068
00:55:12,396 --> 00:55:16,182
"Listen, if you're afraid
of drag, the only way to get rid
of that is to try it yourself."

1069
00:55:16,225 --> 00:55:18,445
Don't knock it
till you've tried it.
You know what I'm saying?

1070
00:55:18,489 --> 00:55:22,319
So, I said "Maybe,"

1071
00:55:22,362 --> 00:55:26,366
-which is gay for no.
[CHUCKLES] Right? You're like...
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

1072
00:55:26,410 --> 00:55:29,717
-"Can you come
to my birthday?" "Maybe."
-[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

1073
00:55:32,459 --> 00:55:35,854
That is the ugliest
eff-ing skirt I have ever seen.
You know what I mean?

1074
00:55:35,897 --> 00:55:40,641
We have
our own tongue, everybody.

1075
00:55:40,685 --> 00:55:43,383
But yeah, finally,
I had to make good on my "Maybe"

1076
00:55:43,427 --> 00:55:46,908
because he asked me
so many fucking times.

1077
00:55:46,952 --> 00:55:49,911
And what happened was,
I went to his place,

1078
00:55:49,955 --> 00:55:53,785
he put me in face,
facing away from the mirror,
put me in a wig,

1079
00:55:53,828 --> 00:55:57,919
turned me around,
to see my reflection,

1080
00:55:57,963 --> 00:56:01,575
and I saw something
I had never seen before.

1081
00:56:01,619 --> 00:56:05,274
-I saw this.
-[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

1082
00:56:16,590 --> 00:56:21,943
And, at that moment,
I fell in love with somebody
that would stay with me.

1083
00:56:21,987 --> 00:56:25,251
despite changes in weight,
despite my temper,

1084
00:56:25,294 --> 00:56:28,689
despite my trash behavior,
despite my history,

1085
00:56:28,733 --> 00:56:32,389
At that moment,
I fell in love
with myself, okay?

1086
00:56:32,432 --> 00:56:35,261
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

1087
00:56:37,742 --> 00:56:40,571
And that is the only love
that has brought me

1088
00:56:40,614 --> 00:56:43,225
real happiness over the years.

1089
00:56:43,269 --> 00:56:45,880
Like, yeah, sure,
I'm a little rounder now.

1090
00:56:45,924 --> 00:56:49,449
I may have a short fuse.
I may be a bit of a ho.

1091
00:56:49,493 --> 00:56:55,281
But I love myself
because of these things,
not in spite of them, okay?

1092
00:56:55,324 --> 00:56:57,979
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

1093
00:57:00,765 --> 00:57:02,897
So what?

1094
00:57:02,941 --> 00:57:06,814
When it comes to marriage,
I fucked up my one shot like
Johnson & Johnson, you know?

1095
00:57:06,858 --> 00:57:09,469
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

1096
00:57:09,513 --> 00:57:12,733
At the end of the day,
I still have myself.

1097
00:57:12,777 --> 00:57:16,041
And you guys
still have you, okay?

1098
00:57:16,084 --> 00:57:18,086
So, this is what I want
out of this evening.

00:57:18,130 --> 00:57:20,349
This is my only request.

a little bit more, please, okay?

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

1103
00:57:32,710 --> 00:57:37,062
I want somebody to bring me
a bottle of tequila because
