Well, hello. No, I'm just kidding. I only did that once the last season and you didn't think it was funny than either. All right. Well, welcome to another episode of Come With Casey. Mm-hmm. I am. Am your. Very funny. Co-host Carrie Sanders. And I'm Dr. Casey Sanders, the technical one. The first of all, fuck you. You're funny too. I'm just kidding. So we have, I wouldn't really say it's like a unique episode, but we have an episode that, like this episode is so gay. So gay.
We're gearing it towards June and Pride month.
So yes, we wanna, we wanna take some time to talk about pride. Talk about our experiences this month and talk about our
experiences, talk about our opinions, uh, and, and just kind of like break it down and, you know, see our point of view from this side of a sex positive point of view
as opposed to a sex negative point of view.
Yeah. As opposed to like, What we've been hearing lately, point of view, but what do we do? But that's what we're
here for. We bridge the gap. Right, exactly. That's my whole point. We bridge the gap between a lot of cultures. Mm-hmm. And, and one of the things that we do aim to do here today is to talk with some of our listeners who maybe don't get the opportunity to experience what the LGBTQIA plus community it's all about. It's all about, well, yeah. How they work. It's all about how they celebrate. Yeah. Like how they celebrate. Like some of the most fucking fun people in the world? Uh, I think
so. I mean, the most fun that I've had has been, been with a bunch of gays. But anyways. All
right. But and we will, we will get there. Yes. And we will get there. But first we've got all of the plugs.
Yeah. We have a few things that we wanna talk about. Any anyone that we are discussing or talking about today, we're only discussing or talking about their work because they're also gay. That's the point that we're trying to bring out. We have people or, um, Yes. These are all
queer businesses.
Yeah, exactly. On some level I think most of 'em are like, pretty much, or they're just like queer curious. No, but at least they're fucking allies. At least they're allies. Right. Or fucking allies. All right, so let, let's do that and
let, we're gonna go in order cuz say we're, one of the stories we have is about a pool party we went to. Mm-hmm. This month. Which was a fucking blast rooftop pool party in Dallas. In Dallas
Canvas Hotel at the Canvas Hotel. Right next to the south side ballroom. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, but we had a blast, but while we were there, but it was a pool party, but they also had little like vendors set up. Yes. And uh, we went, as soon as we walked in, we actually like beeline straight for the vendors. And there was a, a individual Yes. That we had spoken to, we came
across, uh, handle being angelic vortex. Mm-hmm. So whenever you have a minute, head over to Instagram and check out angelic vortex. Yes. Give her a follow comment on some of her shit cuz she's a insanely talented artist. Um, well, and
one of my favorite things about her, it wasn't like, here's one piece in a hundred different ways. It was like, these are all really uniquely Yeah. Um, inspired pieces. Some of 'em were like individuals only. You're not gonna get duplicates. Yeah. And that's something that I really love. It was like the boutique of artwork. Well, one of the
things you'll come to learn about us is I, I, both me and Carrie, is that we don't approach vendors. Just because we wanna make a connection. We typically only approach the people we're like, Ooh. Drawn to, yeah. That we're drawn to in some way, shape, or form. And the second that we walked by, in fact, I feel bad, but there were other vendors there. There were, I think we didn't go to, we only went to this one. But funny it cause her, her there. I don't, I didn't
never ask pronouns. Yeah, we didn't get pronouns so we'll, we'll toss around her. They.
Their, their booth was fucking phenomenal. Mm-hmm. With everything that they had up. So we immediately walked up and started flipping through some of the pictures and found this one. If you're checking this out and watch, cuz on YouTube you'll get to have a, you actually need to see the image where you can see a hand wrapped around a throat. It's graphic design, hand wrapped around a throat. It looks kind of 3D ish, um, with the words are the letters, l u s t, written on the knuckles.
And for us, we were like, okay, this speaks to us very closely. And it was really cool. And in talking with them, what they said was that that was actually one piece. Mm-hmm. Uh, that they later, this was the first original piece of the seven deadly sins. They were later commissioned to create. All seven. Mm-hmm. In order in the same, kind of the same kind of way. So if you wanna check that out. Yeah. Head over to Angelic vortex, check out their stuff. Super cool people, in fact, today mm-hmm.
It's a date, like where we're at. Yeah. And everything is because today is Juneteenth. Mm. Um, they're actually out in Denton, uh, participating in a market share today. Love that. Yeah. And selling some of their wares out there. That's cool. So it's really cool. If you get a chance to check out angelic vortex. Yes. Enjoy it.
All right. The next one we got next up. We, we have plugged them once before, but what better time to plug them yet again? Look at Carrie's titties. Yep. If you are on YouTube, you get to see a, uh, art painting of my titties. I, I would say that I was, The like muse in this. I mean there was, we don't know for sure, but we don't like I, that we
could find out real quick. We don't,
we just never asked. Um, so this is dirty little rejects? Yes it is. You can find them on Instagram. Our good friend
Beck's over there with dirty
little rejects and they don't just do like paintings and artwork, they do jewelry. They, um, if you've seen me wear a lot of my necklaces that I see that says like badass or it says, I think one that says like four non blondes, which is my hair handle. Um, Earrings.
Does the necklace fall into
that one? Um, yeah, actually I think it does, but she makes all kinds of stuff, like they have really, really cool work. Um, but again, it's not just down to like paintings, it's also jewelry and a few different things. So head over to the site, dirty, little rejects, and uh, check out some of stuff. Yes.
And of course, Like for us, you know? Yeah. Really important one. Next up. Mm-hmm. Is our favorite boudoir photographer. I mean, she's so hot. Carla Renee Intimates is how you can find her. Yeah. Type in the entirety. Like she said this on her interview, right? Yeah. Type in it in its entirety. Carla Renee intimates. Or you can also go to our page, find the images of me tying Carrie up. Mm-hmm. Doing some shibari shots like various. But Carla took all those photos.
Yeah. And she's tagged to all of them. We've talked about her. We tag her in our story all the time. Yeah. You literally
cannot miss finding her page. If you cannot plug it in and find it, go to our page and we promise you will find it. Carla Renee, um, she does some of my absolute favorite boudoir, and one of the reasons it's my favorite. First was that her imagery was so light. It annoys me when it's dark and light at the same time. No, correct. But it's light in the right places. Yeah. It annoys me when they're like, Ooh, boudoir, and feel comfortable in your own skin.
I'm gonna take these photos, but then I'm gonna make the image almost black, but I'm gonna like, how am I feeling comfortable in my skin when you're sitting in back of my images and it's so goddamn dark because you look at 'em and you
think like, you feel like you're being
hidden. Yeah, that's what I mean. And I never. I didn't feel that way when I went to her site for one. And then I definitely didn't feel that way after working with her and seeing some of her imagery afterward. Yes. Um, so, and talk about personable. Yeah, that's what that was. Thank you. That was literally about the point I was gonna bring is like, I felt so comfortable, Casey, wasn't this like your first shoot?
Yeah, this is the first time I've ever done so anybody wanting to see me without a shirt on? Many of you, um, uh, I participated in this one as well. Yeah. And we had a blast doing it. Like Carla was cool as shit. She has her studio out of her garage. Mm-hmm. But it's been put together in such a way that she has these individual scene setups as well as the ability to do a rain room as well as the cool, like some of her imagery that she does. I've seen in a
field. Yeah. Which is really cool. Like how do you like, navigate fucking lighting in the middle of a field? But how, I don't know how she does it. And maybe one day we'll get to experience her like field work, but Oh, we will. It's very impressive. We have, we have plans. Oh, we do. It's very, very, very impressive. But we
have, if you've already heard, we've already established ourselves with a, a partnership mm-hmm. With Carla Renee intimate. She's gonna be doing a lot of our behind the scenes work. She's gonna be doing images of us. Uh, and we're gonna get some really. Uh, racy, right? Yeah. Yeah. So we, we have plans there, so be on the lookout for that. Again.
Check out car intimate. Yes. I'm so sorry. She is local guys. She is D F W Local. That was my favorite thing because when we were searching through and trying to find all these people, like I. We need to find someone that's relevant to where we are. Yeah. And we found someone that's close to us and crazy talented, very excited. Like Casey just said, Carla Renee, intimate. Go find her online. Um, she's absolutely amazing and she's fucking hot, so doesn't hurt at all.
Carrie was a little infatuated.
I mean, she's hot. It's fine. It's no big deal. So
anyway, yeah. What else we got? That's our fun plugs for the day. Thanks for coming to this show. Um,
bye. Talk to you later.
No sofa. No, we, this is, uh, like we, we, we were talking about how we should title this episode because I keep going back and being like, I just want this to be the gay episode. Like, that's just the way that I want to, I see it. I mean,
it sh we, we were a little gay, not in the recording before, but the first episode of June. We were a little gay. Yeah. But now we're gonna go on like, Full on gay. Yeah. We're like, dive
in a lot more. We wanna talk more because of the importance this month holds. Yes. Um, for anybody that's celebrate, that's celebrating pride, um, I speak as an ally. Carrie speaks as part as, as part of the queer community. Mm-hmm. Um, so we want to shed some light to the people. Party with mm-hmm. That we celebrate with of what we've learned about pride.
Yeah. Right. And, and actually, so as y'all like, you know, you follow our Instagram and you see a lot of our posts, um, I design the. You're the the aesthetic person? Yeah. Like I design the imagery for the posts that are in between, and if you notice, they're kind of in like a circle circular shape, and so we call 'em our circle posts. I design those, but Casey does all the writeup. He like all of the technical work, all of the information. That's Casey. That's not me.
Um, so I was writing up something for June and I was like, Hey, um, let's go ahead and do like a history on June, but why June? Like why this month? Yeah.
Like why, why is
Pride celebrating in June? Yeah. Like what was the purpose behind it? And you're actually working, well, you're doing two things. You're doing the Ssha stuff, the American, yeah. Sexual Health Alliance. Yeah, the Sexual Health Alliance. And then you're also going through a book right now that's all on the history of.
Yeah. So, um, if anybody knows me and they could probably describe me in a couple words, it would be like a information sexy bitch. Information curator. Oh my bad, sexy bitch. I'll take that one too. Uh, any day of the week, please. If you have compliments for me. I kind of live off them, so he does.
Um, they're like candy for me, but one of the things I love is I, I just love consuming information and it, and specifically whenever it comes to history, and one of the things that I had not really found at the time was, Like the history of, of sex. Mm-hmm. There's not a really good comprehensive history of sex. So I've been doing a ton of work into that. And Carrie texted me one day and she, and she sits back and she goes, Hey, I was talking with someone, um, why is June, why is it June?
That's Pride month. And so I within seconds wrote back to her and I said, oh, the Stonewall riots. Mm-hmm. And I'll get in into that very briefly in just a second, but whenever I said that back, I kind of went. And said, well, I mean, I know it's about the Stonewall riots and I know what they were and how they occurred, but what else is there? Like what more is there learn? Because there's always more to learn, for sure.
There's always perspectives and you should, uh, obtain perspectives from as many people as possible. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what I wanted to do was take a quick second to let everyone know that is out celebrating pride. People that, um, are very well acquainted with these stories and people that are not well acquainted with these stories. The reason that pride is celebrated first.
Commemorate a way to commemorate the Stonewall riots, and this was in late June of 1969 that this occurred at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village up in New York. Uh, there had been a longstanding history of oppression against the gay community. We already, we already know this. Yes, we do.
Uh, and there were societies that came together, organizations that came together, some public, some private, that were all homophilic, that were sitting there and they were fighting for the rights of their people just to be able to be. Alive, present. Yeah. Like just to be able to breathe. Yeah. So the first thought is if you have to be able to fight for the person that you are, to be able to be out and be able to just fucking have a breath of fresh air, that's a big message in the beginning.
Mm-hmm. So you had these societies that came around, including some of the earliest ones like this, uh, the Chicago Society of Human Rights back in the twenties, um, as well as the, the machines and the 1950s and the, um, the
first, this is why I have Casey 100% as well as well, and you're good at heads. But go ahead. I'm
sorry. What? As well as the Daughters of Pitis. Mm-hmm. Which was the first lesbian organization that came around. That was in the 1950s. Um, I think it was the first lesbian organization that came around. Uh, anyway, so all of this, mm-hmm. Over many, many years had just been fighting back and forth between legalities and just being able to be known and being beaten and oppressed by the government, the police, the communities, all this stuff. And it came to a spearhead. In late June of 1969.
So during that time up in New York and everywhere. Mm-hmm. But specifically, our story kind of falls into Greenwich Village is that there was the Stonewall in. And that it was one of the known gay bars in the area. Mm-hmm. And the police had been coming around doing raids on all of these. Hold
on. So you couldn't even be in a fucking gay bar and, and like just be you. Right. That's fucked up.
Okay. There was you, you didn't have an existence. Yeah. Fucked up. You weren't allowed up to be a person. Fucked. You were even in your own
goddamn gay bar. Okay, continue. Yeah. There
were laws, plenty of laws against everything
from like holding hands or that kissing necessarily law. How,
not necessarily law against, but pda mm-hmm. Of two homosexuals was illegal. You couldn't do it. Okay. And so the, the police would come in and they would raid these bars because they were gay bars. Those
fuckers just wanted to look at it. They want, they were so interested.
So on, on this evening. Yeah. The police came in and raided and this was like the final straw. For the community, for everyone that was supporters. Everyone that was in the gay community, they were like, fuck this, you, and they fought back against the police. I love that. What proceeded was five days of blood and broken glass across the streets of New York. Well, and it was intense. It was just, mm-hmm. I mean, it was riots. This is why they call them riots. Mm-hmm.
This was, it was mayhem for five days straight and it was insanely intense. Mm-hmm. Fast forward to. 1999, I believe it was. And Bill Clinton then initiates and says, all right, so we're gonna go ahead and reserve June as gay Pride month. Okay. It was to commemorate those Stonewall riots, followed by that you had Obama, I don't remember the year. I think it was 2011. Mm-hmm. Uh, he came through and he added in, because at first it was just the L. Just the L, yeah, yeah. Yes, exactly.
So he added in a couple of more letters, and this was like, what's. Congratulations. Mm-hmm. But it also is what people try to use against the gay community. Yeah. The use slurs and things like that to kind of bring them down. Yeah. But it kept expanding and then Biden was the last one to expand it further to include, uh, the plus community as well. Okay. So now you have Pride Month encompassing all of that. But the reason it's in June is to commemorate the Stonewall riots themselves, which.
Again, I think it's important
to know, I think that's very important to understand yeah, anytime
you're going out and celebrating yes, have fun and, and do these things and, and enjoy it and show your work, show who you are, show that you're a supporter, you should also know why you're doing it in the first place. Mm-hmm. Because you need to be able to have the, I mean, even as love and respect of the people that came before. Yeah.
I mean, even as a queer myself, when you came and, or when, I'm sorry. When I came to you and asked Hey, what is this all about? I have never even dived into the community and, and like dived into the concept as like how hard people had to work for us to be where we're at. For us to be at a fucking rooftop bar in Dallas, dancing our fucking asses off, which we're about to get there watching drag shows, but dancing our fucking a off doing a drag show like music and partying and like. Oh fuck.
Let's just get to it. So, um, we go out to Dallas, a good friend of ours, uh, invited us and was like, Hey, they're having this like pool top bar, come and hang out. Let's have a really good time. And I'm, I, I will be honestly a little ashamed to admit that this was probably one of our very first full on Pride events to go to. Yeah. And it's not because we had not supported before, but um, We had just not, we weren't really put ourselves aware into We never, no.
I don't can say it.
We've never actively tried. Yeah. And, and so the, the position or the situation towards in, in itself, and I'm like, fuck yes, let's do this. Um, side note, like I, I go all out when I go, you extra as fuck. Ooh. When I go to something like, and you know, I've never been to a rave. I've, I, I haven't done that type of stuff, but if there's an event and I'm going to like. What Fucking St. Patty's Day. Yeah. Like how it's out. Do I go for st It's out. Patty's. I'm ridiculous. And you're lucky
enough to have a good friend to help you do that and get your hair all done.
So, uh, thank you. You're welcome. This nice segue. Um, so there is a girl that I used to work with. I fucking love her. To God death. Her name is Jen and I I promise you we'll plug her in the show notes later. Yeah, for sure. But her name is Jen and we'll tag it, but she. Created these beautiful fucking like, um, rainbow pigtail braids. I was on it, man. Yeah. I I put on these braids, I put some sparkles underneath my eyes and I threw, I, I, I think I was wearing like neon orange or something.
I don't even fucking remember All that mattered was like my hair. And I was so fucking excited. And I bring all this up because we, we walk into the hotel because it was a, a, um, pull part at the top of a hotel canvas, hotel Dallas. And the second I fucking walk in, Everyone's like, yes, bitch. Yes. Ooh, girl. Your braid, your hair. I love it. You're fucking working it. And and you're eating it up.
Well, I am, but it's just, it's the fact that I can be extra and go into a place and men are not just uh, look at that girl. Like, eh I don't know. I just, I hate the way that I feel. Men look at me in sometimes a normal setting. Yeah. And then women are like, fuck yeah, look at you. You go. And it was just so supportive. Yeah. It was not like
where you might only hear somebody being like pissy and making fun of you, or being
extra in the first place. Exactly. Like women can get a little jelly of other women like. And it's annoying, but in this setting, I felt completely accepted. Yeah. I felt proud to look the way that I did. I wasn't shy. We, we were both getting like amped up and it was just, it was such a beautiful community to walk into and immediately have that acceptance. Yeah. I have walked into many places at many times and never have I felt accepted, but here, the first fucking second we walked in.
Yeah. Immediately.
Absolutely. It was, it was great to be around people that. We're just so positive about it that we're just like welcoming. Mm-hmm. That we're happy, that we're dancing, that we're pouring drinks that
we're, and I think we said, I was like, this is our first, and we're in the elevator up. We haven't even gotten there yet. This is the first group of people we even came around, but Banana hammocks of plenty. Oh my. Yeah. But we were like, you know, we said something, we're going up. We're like, this is our first pride of event. And they're like, yes, bitch. Yeah. Welcome. So happy to have you.
And it was just the acceptance that I feel like you and I have honestly been looking for when we go to these, like these bars. Yeah. And we go out, like you and I don't necessarily just fit in Yeah. Immediately. You know, whenever you
walk into a a bar and you feel like there's tension, All around. Yes. Because we feel that often. Like I, I feel like that I'm a very empathetic person. Yeah. You breath quickly and I'm, I'm also a very like left of bang person. Mm-hmm. Like always kind of on the lookout. So there's so many places that we walk into that I, I'll immediately feel just the emotions in the air Yeah. Are like high tense.
It's just weirder and it's a lot of places that we do that, especially a lot of the heteronormative bars that we go to. Mm-hmm. And so to walk into a place where you just feel like you can let your guard down immediately and you feel like you can just laugh, smile, and, and have a fun
time and shake your fucking ass and flash someone. And it's not, which you did. I did. I, let's tell that story. We will, we will get there. But yes, I felt more myself in this group than I have in a very long time. Yeah. And it, and it was really refreshing. Yeah. Um, and so, We, we get there, we set up and they immediately start drag show. Yeah, they immediately, they first performer comes out. Now, luckily it's not as hot as it is right now, but it was,
it was still hot that day, but it was pretty fricking warm and that that person was all
black. This queen came out like all black body suit, like. Hot as shit and they are just getting it. There was a point where they like ripped off their wig. We're talking
jump splits. We were talking,
oh, jump splits. Like shit that I can't even fucking do. And I would consider myself a slightly athletic, slightly flexible person. No fucking way. I could be in a body suit like that and doing like jump split in the middle of a pool. Yeah. Like it was so impressive. And they lost. They, yeah, they, they lost their wig. They did. So the queen fucking ripped the hair off and then took out the ponytail and was like shaking their
hair. And you got somebody on the side holding the wig and shaking it.
Like Elliot? Yeah. Woo. Like it was, oh my God. It was so much fun And I'm gonna go on a tiny rant here and I will not apologize for it, but it's something that I feel that people that do not understand drag shows need to understand. Okay. Uh, drag shows are not strippers. Drag performers, drag queens are not fucking strippers, okay? Most of these people are wearing more Spanx than you've ever owned in your life. Even if they were to take off their clothes, all you seeing is Spanx.
You're not seeing anything else. Some of these fucking queens are literally sewn into their outfits, so that way when they go out there and perform, nothing is exposed, and I'm gonna say it again. Nothing is exposed. Is there
anything you'd like to add? I mean, I think you've done a pretty good job Okay. So far, but yeah, absolutely. I always have stuff to add. You have
been to more drag shows than I feel any straight man has. Have you ever seen a slip? Have I? You have. Have you ever seen a slip? I think
some of my favorite ones to see are whenever they put on like the, the over the neck fake breasts. Yeah, those and and those and those come out. But those were like some of
the shows, those are thes. I mean that, but those are the ones, I mean that you're sewn into. Yeah. So even if you're seeing that flesh. It's not them. It's not real. It's just real. The prosthetic, it's, yeah. But
at the same time, we've been to a lot of drag shows a lot. And some of our, like our most fun ones, like we went to, uh, oh my God, I'm gonna, I can't remember the name of it, but the on the board, um, in Miami. In In Miami. Yeah. We went to the British.
Oh, I
went to like the World Drag Ranch. We
had a blast, but thanks so much fun. Remember that girl threw up the, uh, the, the fucking, what was that? The mimosa. Oh my God. This queen literally dumped a mimosa. No, what was it? You're right, you just said it. It was like a, it was something unique that they were using to pour mimosas down this girl's throat, and she
literally just, she, she got it all back out. Did not, but the point out there being is that, That was middle of the day. Yeah. They were doing nothing that was gross. The crowd was rowdier than the performers. A hundred percent. So you keep getting onto the performers for the way that they act during the show, whenever. If it's a late night drag show, or if it's a rowdy or drag show, it's oftentimes the crowd, not the performer.
So if you're attending an all ages show or you're attending a drag show and you wanna attack the performers, like rethink what you're doing. Yes, please. At the same time, understand that these drag shows that are occurring, where they're like, Hey, all ages, welcome. There's nothing inappropriate
going on. I'm sorry if you're gonna take your fucking kids to Hooters. Places like Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks, and you're gonna get onto fucking drag queens. You're gonna give me a fucking break. You wanna claim
that the drag queens are sexualizing your children shit. Whenever you're going teaching people how to objectify women like
no drag queen. I don't even fucking see an ass cheeks. But I can't go to Twin Peaks without seeing nipples and ass. And kids are welcome there, but no, not a drag show. God fucking forbid. We have, we
have posts and commercials, kids at Hooters where they're like getting birthday songs where people are talking about putting their chest in out and you shake them. And so you can sexualize people there, but it's not okay to do it in other places. Um, so anyway. That's Grant
is done. The drag show was fucking amazing. Yeah. We, they had, we saw three queens, I think three. What was the one? So you all know when you go to a pool and they have that like ledge area that's like an inch deep, right? Yeah. This queen literally jump splitting in that ledge, doing the position in yoga where you're like, All the way, but Camel. Camel. Oh Camel. Camel.
Like straight up camel and like all the way back where their throat is up in the air and like people were like splashing water on them and it was, it was so much fun. Was really cool. They did a great, was so much fun. Can we talk about what happened when we first got there though? The drink. The drink incident. The fucking drink incident? Yes. I will tell this story. All right. You do it. I will only step in in the moments that I saw. That's it.
Okay, so we're in the pool and what was going on? We were, we, um, no, it was a
time that, do you wanna a picture? Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not this time. This was a time we were like, no, because someone brought around that frozen beautiful, that beverage colada that someone was like, here, try this. And I was like, baby, I want one now. Please.
So understand that the. On this rooftop hotel was just filled with people. Oh yeah. Um, it was, it wasn't quite shoulder to shoulder. No. But it was, wasn't a lot of people in there. So in order to get out, you had to make your way across an entire crowd of people just to get to the steps. Well, me and all of my geniusness went, well, why would I go to the steps whenever there's a ledge right here and I can just hop straight out?
So I went to the steps. I'm just gonna start. So Carrie runs steps. Carrie, Carrie
slides to the steps. I have beeline for this ledge. Mm-hmm. Get up on the ledge. Go to step over, I see to the left of me that there's people taking a picture and I immediately went, don't get in the picture. Give them their respect and space. I'm gonna go this way. You did. I had not realized that the gentleman taking the picture had set his drink down. Right there, and this is where I step in and you had about five or six people go, drink, drink,
drink, drink. And I literally see it. I see Casey I see you dodging the photo. And I'm like, oh, cool. He's dodging the photo and then I see your feet. I'm like, no. It was like fucking slow-mo. Like you're, I didn't hear people yell, drink in my head. I'm just like, No, don't hit the drink and
pause. Pause. Because drinks at this bar are so fucking ridiculously, so
goddamn expensive. Fucking Dallas,
man. You get your first bill for two drinks and it's like $50 and you're going, oh shit. Oh, yay. So at the point that this drink goes to spill over from my all over the psy feet, as I make my way around this photo, it's. Everyone's just like, no, no. And so I turn around the gentleman who's it was, I was like, I apologize for that. Let me get you, sorry refill. It's ok. And the best moment moments of the day happened right then and there because I said, what were you drinking?
And he said, I was drinking a tequila and Sprite. Yeah. And for then, from behind him, from about eight feet away, you see somebody raise their hand in the air and goes, and it was a double.
And I was, we're like, bitch, you think we didn't know? That was a double. We know how you drank. We know that's a double. Like
I was immediately like, good for you. Taking
up for your friend. For your friend to just shout from the rooftops. Like he needs a refill and it better be a double, uh, It was just the moment that we both needed. I mean, it, it was literally fucking hilarious. And the guy that we spilled to drink was so goddamn nice. Yeah. Yeah. We had a good time. He like came with us and we talked at the bar and we like laughed and we ended up finding out that he was from our fricking hometown.
Yeah. Not that it's like that big of a difference to go from like Dallas to Fort Worth, but this wasn't just like Dallas to Fort Worth. This was like Dallas to like Saginaw, Texas. Yeah. And he moved from another state. Into Saginaw, Texas. Yep. I'm like, how the fuck do you just pinpoint Saginaw out of all places in the world, or Texas, at least?
Saginaw, Texas? It was an interesting moment to say the least, to be like. Making that connection. Yeah, but the good thing is, is that again, we, I'll bring it back to mm-hmm. You spill, someone's drinking it in some places and people get pissy and there's dude
loud noises and all sorts, dude, we have done that before. We spilled a drink in a fucking bared Dallas with a bunch of straight men, and they were fucking pissed. And we had to be like, Hey, hey. It's cool. Yeah. Be like,
Hey listen, take Got you. Take, hold on, take your guys here and just back up for
a second. Cause I offering, but honestly, but in this, it was like a friend that was like supportive. Yeah. Just like the douche bag. Friends were being supportive. Yeah. But he, but it was much more you make sure he gets that double though, right? Yeah. We were like, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got you. So we had a
blast. We met up with, linked up with them. Mm-hmm. We had another Time goes by. Then we have Carrie flashing someone.
So here's the thing, we met this girl earlier and she did have, uh, pasty on and then a seat through shirts. She had her like rainbow pasties on, and they were black. They're just black pasty okay. With the seat through shirt. But she did have a lot of rainbow on. But baby, I promise you, I was looking at her chest. I know what it looks like. Um, and she was taking these uh, I'm sorry, she. Stop and ask like, Hey, will you take these photos for me? And I'm like, absolutely.
And so she's holding onto the bottom of her shirt and I'm like, come on, give it, give the audience what they want. It's like, you can tell she wants to come on girl. And then she starts like flashing the camera. And so, Fast forward to us being in the pool now, and we're like dancing and having a good time. And I see her, and her and I like make this like eye contact. And we do, you know, you take like the two fingers in front of your eyes and mm-hmm. Right. And, uh, I just flashed her.
I, I was like, Hey, you know, and, and then I got like a few like cute calls from it when I did that. And she actually came up to me later that night and she was like, You know when you flashed me, I was like, yeah. She goes, I'm so upset because there was a guy's head that like perfectly went into view. As soon as you flashed me, I was like, Aw, man, that sucks. I think at that point I like flashed her again. I'm like, here you go. You can see him.
Um, But she ended up finding on, uh, on Instagram and she sent me the video and she was like, Hey look, here's a video that didn't work. And it's literally, I swear to fucking God I see her. We make eye contact, we're laughing. I grab my swimsuit, I lifted up. A guy's head right into the frame. You can't see a single thing. So funny. But anyways, and, but it was just the whole point that I could like flash my titties on a rooftop bar in Dallas and not be a objectified.
Yeah. And it be like, yeah, bitch. And no one even fucking, no one cared. No one cared. And if they did, they kept it to themselves. Yeah. And if they didn't care, they're like, eh, whatever. I absolutely loved that. Um, we, we had a really good time and
everybody was dressed up so well and like people were into, we had, I had my, my shirt on that said, daddy and a Rainbow on it. Got some great comments on that. You did.
And the whole, I'm so glad that you bring that up. So the whole point of like you wearing this like daddy shirt is I had to buy it online. Yeah. Because you can't find, we
had previously been able to buy it in store.
You can't find like gay positive shit in a store because people get really fussy about it.
Apparently we've, we've seen a lot of that. We've seen a lot of backlash from it too.
We have, and. So we all, uh, we're talking about Target. Let's just go there. We're talking about Target. Yeah, sure. They had a whole gay section right up front. We, I remember we walked in, we saw this big ass gay section. Absolutely loved it. I bought a blue fucking or green jumpsuit that said gay on the back. It was refreshing, truthfully. And then a week later, We got,
or we heard that that update, like that news update that was like tar Yeah, that was like due to threats to the employees
targets pulling the price up, threats, the, yeah, and, and
that just, it's not all the stores. Which was weird because Lake Worth, Texas still has their
prize section. That's really weird. Well, and Keller. Technically still has it, but instead of being like upfront, here you go, here's your section, it was like, nah, we're gonna move you to this. Like, you know where it's at now? I still haven't seen it. I, I found it actually, oddly enough today, and it was between the swimsuit section and the workout section, and it was one row. One row and they had like a shirt and some shoes with their rainbow flag on it.
Oh Lord. So the, our frustration here is everyone is saying that you're going to be, not everyone, people are saying that you're gonna be pushing this gay agenda. That's like their favorite thing to say right now is the gay agenda. Um, speaking as someone that. Is queer. I will direct this to someone who is straight. Has there ever been a shirt out there that's made you wanna suck Dick?
Um, was Henry Ka.
Listen, everyone better say yes to that question if it's him, but seriously, has there ever been as a, as a fucking straight person, has there ever been anything that made you wanna suck Dick? No. Because you saw a shirt? No.
There's, there's nothing in the world that Why would no imagery, no anything that would change the inner workings of my body.
Because here's the thing, if you are even, um, exploring. That's fine. I guarantee you through your exploration, you're gonna find out. If you are either gay or straight.
Yeah. It's something that we encourage, actually. It's something that I encourage. I very much encourage
it. Yeah. You need to know,
I encourage any, any cisgender, straight man to explore a fantasy. Mm-hmm. Whether it makes you uncomfortable or not, but explore a fantasy because we've already established that fantasy and reality are not the same, not the same fantasy is it. It has no effect fantasy, literally, that it's. It's a wie. It's a woozy, right? So, and explore it and you're gonna find out what your sexuality is. So no, there's nothing out there that no matter if I suck, there's no shirt that's
gonna make you wanna suck dick if you don't wanna suck Dick. Exactly. It's very simple and fucking well said. And again, if there was a shirt that made you wanna suck Dick. Every husband in the fucking world would buy that for their wife. What do you want for Father's Day? Here's the shirt, put it on please. Like it's a magic shirt. Like it just doesn't work like that.
And to think that people are pushing, I'm quoting, pushing agenda, like that's ignorant because you have no idea what it means to be gay then well there. So there, there isn't there. It's not a fucking
choice. There is an agenda and that agenda is accepted. Acceptance is being able to be able to exist just to exist with the same rights and privileges as any other citizen. Yes. So, fuck Yeah. There's an agenda. It's a goddamn good one. Yeah. But not in a, but
not in a way that's going to push. Right. It's not your children, it's
not a harmful attacking agenda. It's not a grooming agenda. No. It's not one that's trying to pull people in and like you scapegoating at that point. And for me, I look at it and you are must be so uncomfortable to have the conversation with your kids mm-hmm. About what it means to be gay, that you're afraid of clothing. Yeah.
That you are afraid that that shirt is going to make your child go, maybe, but maybe your fucking child needs to think maybe, is it so bad for for people to explore who they are in a nonconventional way? Is it that bad? Does it ruin your
day? I'm sorry, sorry. You have to talk to your children. Explain. Exactly.
That's my thing. Like I'm so sorry that you have to explain sexuality to your children.
Sorry. You have to find out there's other sexualities out there, what
not. Everyone's straight,
not everyone. This time the nuclear family is not like the fucking standard anymore. Yeah. So it, it's, it's, oh, it's very, it's frustrating because to me, again, and I will, Put this point out there whenever you have a display for people that are celebrating their existence mm-hmm. Something they've fought hard for, because that's what these holidays represent. They've fought hard for. I wanna put, put something real quick. You can fucking quote me on this, and you can use it however you want.
Every holiday, every national, every federal ho that we have in terms of celebrating a people mm-hmm. Typically falls around something that was fought for. Yeah. True. So for you to walk by that and for you to have such a high level, uh, your ego to be so flamboyant and for you to have such a high level of thought that it has anything to do with you and protecting your kids. It's not for you. Yeah, it's not about you. None of that is there because of you.
It's there for this community and it's there for this community to celebrate the very fact that they are alive. The very fact that they have gained a position, the very fact that they're just here. Mm-hmm. So stop walking by it. It's really easy to turn the other cheek. I'm looking at you fucking white Christians, but it's really easy for you to turn the other turn, turn the cheek, and walk away, turn so weird as opposed to being so into it. Mm-hmm.
That you actually have people making death threats to employ, enforcing a corporation to make a decision. To pull. Mm-hmm. These things, whenever people are simply trying to celebrate who they
are, their fight. Here's the thing though, gays don't want more gays if you know this or not, but gays are actually like, Nah, we're good. We got enough. Is that, is that what that is that what's going on? Yeah. We're, we're not trying to gain more. Hold on. I'm serious though. You suggesting like the ship's full? Yeah, we're done, man. Quota has been met. No, I'm just kidding. All, all I'm saying is
do you speak for all of the community when you say you No. There's enough of you.
Let me be more clear. Um, we don't need you. We don't need the straight people. We have enough. We're not trying to like, this isn't Rover Rover. What was that game called? Red Rover. Red Rover. Red Rover. We're not trying to get the straights to come over. Okay. We're not. We are fine. Where we're at, we are good, but what we want is to be able to walk into a store and see something that represents us. That's it. And I don't think it's that fucking hard, and I don't think it's that.
Crazy to think that individuals find acceptance and like micro acceptance, whether it be just walking through the grocery store or shopping on Amazon. Like, why can we not find acceptance anywhere that we are? Why are we in 20 fucking, whatever year we're in, it's doing 23 and we're still fucking arguing on gaze. I, I'm, I'm just appalled
and shocked with most of the arguments pointing towards it being like some sort of choice. I didn't get a choice
to be fucking bi like I thought we were done with that argument. I struggled. I struggled so hard with being bi my whole goddamn life, and now I'm 35 years old and I have an acceptance and I understand it and, and I'm gonna feel like Target is embarrassed to show that people are fucking gay. Get outta here. I can't. Oh Lord. I love what you're fiery. I can't, I can't. On this episode. No, I'm kidding.
Bubu
Bubu on our last episode of Come with Casey, right? Cause we just got shadow bands. No,
but we did No gonna get emails that it's like we can no longer host your podcast. I'd be pissed. It's not listed anymore. I'd be pissed. Fact, the fact the matter is that everyone's gay. Get used to it. The world, the world's
we're here we're queer. Oh God. I'm just kidding. I'm
just kidding. I'm not doing that. Yo, go for it. Show, show 'em with pride. No,
um, I, I said everything I needed to say. I spoke what I wanted and, and I I love the history lesson earlier though. I think that's really important for people to understand.
We felt that this episode should be a little bit more on the side of how we feel. We, we wanna. We like to tell everybody who we are and what we stand for. Mm-hmm. Um, and we did a little bit of that, but we also have done a lot of showing people that they can be them.
They can be stem cells words. I mean honestly though yes. Um, and, and we hope that if you are someone that is listening to this and you're sitting on the opposite end of the fence, maybe now you're at least straddling the fence. Can we like get a little bit of acceptance on the other side here and understand that us as queers, we don't fucking want your. We don't want the next generation. We don't care that next generation will figure it out. We're not trying to get the younger kids.
We're not, we're not, we're not trying to do any of that. We're no, we're trying to groom your kids. I just, I don't fucking care about your kids. That's weird as shit. I, I'm, I, I wanna feel proud for myself. Um, but that's literally where it fucking ends. Um, and, and the
community, but trying to happen, the only thing that's trying to occur is that making it more known that there's an avenue of acceptance, acceptance. And if you have children who can't even come to you because you're going to shame them. Mm-hmm. For being interested in the rainbow at Target for, yeah. I'm, I'm targeting, there's a very specific instance and we won't discuss on this show. No, we're not gonna go there.
But there have been people that have said things or it's been like, I don't want my kids exposed to this, and we're going exposed to what? Exposed to a different way of thinking, exposed to a question like, are you so afraid that your kid's gonna come to you and be like, I might be gay. Okay, so let's talk about it. Let's like, yeah, let's, let's talk about what that means. Let's talk about where your sexuality lies, because we already, we know we have a fucked up sexual education system.
Mm-hmm. Plus, yeah, that's a
whole other fucking episode.
We're working to change that Plus, That we have, like, it's that whole bit of parents can't talk to their kids, so we're trying to just help out. Yeah. So anyway, for another episode of Come With
Casey. With Casey. This is Carrie over here. Uhhuh. Yep. It's me. Just me. Just Carrie. And this is, uh, sexy Casey over there. Dr. Dr. Dr. Sexy Casey. Is that better for you? I mean, I, you know what? You fucking earned the title to be called Doctor Like, God dang, you earned that title. What do I get as like a hairstylist? I don't know. I got, I dunno,
either. I don't got one for that. All right guys, y'all enjoy the day. We'll see you. I'm cutting it. Alright guys. Do not.
