Tell me how this show came to be Well, Jackie and I work together a lot. We've known each other in New York City for a long time But when we got on the show and we were on season 12 together We are with the same manager and so we get booked a lot of places together And the one thing that we always get told by by audiences and people who work at the venues alike is that You two are a lot of fun together and we were just like girl. Let's do I was like I want to do something with you We would have so much fun to do a Christmas show and so yeah We just kind of had this idea and then we made it come to the page And I think too that's that's like the kind of the foundation of it right is like our actual friendship and Not just our actual friendship But also the like what we've started to like build in a lot of these some of these venues we've never been to before but a lot of them are places we have been to before and so it's fun to kind of come back And maybe they saw us separately or maybe they saw us together But now they're seeing us in like this supreme package edition of the Jan and Jackie experience Which is just as wild as you might imagine and features Yes, the most random potential set list you have ever heard of Um all over the map all over the map like us We got we got musical theater. We got pop divas. We got some old school We got some new school. We got some unreleased Music we've got some songs that you're gonna hear and you're gonna be like where have I heard that before and after the show when I tell you Your brain will explode Fun. Okay. I'm excited. Wait. Okay. I'm gonna. I don't want to spoil the show, but I want to know is is the show like you two hosting a show Or is it like a heightened Jackie and Jan hosting a show That makes sense. Yeah, like how meta are we yeah like is it like holiday special or it's like hey bitches We're singing No, I think it's like there's there's a story. We are putting on a show.

Yeah, friends Yeah, great reference because I've been telling pee folks this show is like imagine like a traditional Christmas cabaret If it was thrown by like Romeo and Michelle Oh, we're fucking love Romeo and Michelle. We have we decided who's the Romeo and who's the Michelle I think we have to know I don't think we have I think I'm the Romeo I was gonna say I think I'm Michelle Yeah, I love that Yeah, I'm I'm and neither of you the rhoda no one's the rhoda.

I can't wait to hear the show see the show And wait wait before we're gonna talk more about holidays But like wait wait where do people buy the tickets? What website do they buy them at? Oh easiest part of this whole experience is Jackie and Jan dot com. Wait what Jackie and Jan dot com Jackie and Jan dot com and that link will be below Jackie and Jan dot com website Developed by our our very own Jackie Cox and might I say it is very beautiful She is not only smart. She is not only talented. She is in tech women in tech. I love it. Women very stem Very stem. Very stem. Jason. Oh my god. I'm a Jason. Yeah, she has she has a subscription to website builder and she is not afraid to use it It's giving what was that Oscar movie with the ladies who were a NASA Florence Foster Jenkins. It's giving Florence Foster Jenkins makes a website. Yeah, that's the movie I was thinking Definitely. Oh my god. Would tell me like holiday memories for y'all take me into your world. What is like What are y'all vibes on a holiday right holiday is so funny I was just talking about this with y'all a little bit before up like I am in equal parts heaven and hell during the holidays Because I am the older I get the harder it is for me to be like What does going back home mean? What is going back home mean for y'all during the holidays For the last few years, it means not for me I mean, I've been working a lot and I try to visit my family when I can It's so expensive in the holidays So I if I'm if I'm here during the season, I'm not working I'm I'm hanging with my pals. We're going shopping. We're getting those special overpriced holiday drinks We're going to the specially themed overpriced holiday bars And we are tipping the wait staff extra for working on the holidays and we are enjoying We're enjoying it work Yeah, the past couple years for me have been a lot about traveling as well Normally I am with my family. I live in New Jersey. My family lives about 45 minutes away from me And it is a huge festivity on Christmas Eve huge celebration on Christmas And that's really my vibe on the holidays this year I'm actually going to Phoenix to be with my partners family, which is something I have not done In a minute, so I'm super excited about that So it's going to be a little different for me where you can teach an old dog new tricks Cute. That's fun. Have you met them before or is this the first time? Yeah Yeah, I met them before so it's it's all fun, but I've never Christmas with them in Phoenix So I'm excited about that But wait a minute and not to tease too much, but like for those in the audience on Friday at our New York show Yeah, they may see all of Jan's extended family there Which I'm excited about. I'm very excited That's fun. And it's not even a May it's a it's they will be in attendance as long as they're If you buy a ticket, you will be seeing the sport family live and living color How do you all do when family comes to watch you perform? I I It makes me crazy It was actually just having this conversation last night with Jackie and With with some of our dancers I'll say dancers. There's dancers. Yeah. Oh, yeah And I would select cities select cities select cities select cities. Okay, select select Um, but I was saying I actually don't mind just my family comes anymore I'm actually nervous about my partners mother Because she is she is the sweetest person on the planet But I would never want to offend her and I would want to offend my family either just with like any random thing that I can say Because I'm like I'm I'm a third-year-old drag queen who loves to be crass and crazy And I don't want to ever limit myself to what it could possibly say to make a joke So it is nerve-racking for me, but Jackie did say Jan Honey You can think of another joke that might not be disparaging Jesus Christ herself on on the holidays. So And my sister did give me a lot of confidence with that and I said yeah, you know what I can leave I can leave the Jesus crucifying for Easter It's also it's also like a good opportunity for us, you know, I want drag First of all, I think all kinds of drag is valid and I think the dirtiest most raunchiest most offensive Filthy drag is totally Amazing, but I do part of me is just excited because I do think this show I mean unless you're just anti gay. I think this show is for everyone like if you are broke If you are down with the LGBT honey, then you are up in this show like there is a place for you There is a song for you. There's a reference for you And I want all of our community to feel included in this um You know We're not the raunchiest or filthiest queens, but we're gonna have a good time We know how to tease and titillate a bit I think that's what I think not to without sounding corny like I actually think This shows like this like remind queer people who have like there are who are building their own family like Remind them that like things like the holidays aren't exclusive of their experience. So it's like without sounding Yeah, and corny like it's really fucking special that like You that a queer person can go get this sort of experience in a safe space as opposed to relying on oh Well, that's only if I have a heteronormy family Totally totally And this show has so many queer references. It's just so inherently gay You've been beyond the fact that we are just drag queens performing it and it is a welcoming into our lives right like you were saying It's a welcoming into our home about Christmas experiences with them going right Or wrong and how we solve and figure that out and um Yeah, I think the overall takeaway that we want to do with the show is make everybody feel welcome There's so much craziness going on in our world Not only in our own community, but just the world at large and I feel like the holidays are a time where you know People might not they could feel very alienated seasonal depression is real Some people don't have wonderful experiences with holidays past and families in the past and We want people to come here and feel really really good and taken care of by us And I know that if there's one thing Jackie and I can do it is that And and not to give away too much of the libretto of our piece Early on Early on in the show you will hear out of our mouths. We are gay. We can do anything and I believe it I believe it that that is the message of the show That is That's powerful shit. I want to know what is something from the holidays that that needs a chop Like anything is it whether it's a food or a tradition or a movie or a song What what what needs the holiday chop? What are we getting rid of you got to give me a second here But I'm definitely going to get one I I there are things that I get pissed off about for no reason and I know that one's going to pop into my head Take your time. Do you have any that you think Jackie do you have one? Well, I mean the that the travel prices are Racha like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is the reason unless it's for work I don't usually travel on the holidays because I'm like do I really want to spend three times the price I normally pay to fly to LA or wherever no yeah, I don't I'll just visit people in January to pay for trauma You want me to pay double for more for I'm talking about my experience But for me like my family is in tumult. I mean, and it is it is fireworks Crazy, so it's like you want me to pay double to go get like some fresh trauma honey. No, no, no Yeah, so so luckily for me like one of our early stops is in Orange County, California where my dad lives and where I finished high school and is literally at the little theater where I did big river the musical as a youth Um, and so the best part of that is that I'm like dad. That's your Christmas visit Totally work Where Christmas visit is coming to see me your son as a gorgeous woman in where That's present ended a tree the best presents. I have to I have to say this. I don't necessarily think that this is um a chop It's more of a call to action about the um disappearing act that the Pillsbury holiday cookies are pulling on us I have not seen a Pillsbury holiday cookie on a shelf in a minute And I've got too many different stores. Maybe this is a New York New Jersey thing Well, I think that Pillsbury is really pulling out the stops to not make those as accessible as they want to work And quite frankly as they should be Um, so that's what does Barry. I would love. I'm I this is a call to action I mean Pillsbury to really really expands their shipping to more parts of the U.S Um, baby. We're gonna get we're gonna get people to judge on this We're gonna get the secretary of transportation also our our lord gave people to judge to help fix use of my lines Thank you lord gay gay and waiting true the true King to the throne. I can't wait for him to fucking Cersei Lannister Biden and get right up there Um, that would be cool. Wouldn't that be cool? Um, no, I'm just so please Also chop Not doing stocking stuffers stuff the stocking stuff it stuff in there, but stuff is stuff the stocking even if it sucks Just small fun things are fun You could put paper in there. I don't care stock the stuffing. Yeah Stuff the stocking See I'm getting in a dizzy about when you make your stuffing make sure you use stock You've stock the stuffing stock the stuffing stock stuffing stock.com over stock.com for your over stock stuff stuff Truly I can see this but Jan's eyes are bleeding Jan is I rate Jan is over it I'm gonna chop candy canes. I think they're stupid. I think they're fucking stupid Whoa, I'm sorry Can we make okay, you know like how pockies are delicious do we really get a lot of emails you're gonna get a lot This is the most controversial thing you could say in 2023 this will be the thing This isn't this isn't like candy corn. Everyone agrees candy corn is horrible, but I don't know about candy. I don't I don't I love candy corns controversy But you know and you know what I would rather take I would rather take it. I would take candy corn over candy cane any day I'll say it My thing like this is an example of the high stakes and high drama fighting You will see between me and Jan during the Jackie's it's like a CNN roundtable. It is this is non-stop debate Baby we're gonna we're gonna cool off because we are getting we are getting very mad Roasting over an open fire. Oh And we're not talking about the after party. We are gonna be right back, but first Silence my queens. I feel like taking a break Bring back my break. We're back. We're with the icons Jackie Cox Jan sport now I want to ask you a little bit. I think the listeners would be mad if I didn't ask you a little bit for you to chat just an ever so little bit Now that it's been a couple years What are what is a fun memory or moment you look back on from season 12 doing it together that you go huh? That was silly Something I remember was the actual Energy that Jan walked into the workroom with every day was so Inspiring to me because I think after like the third week. I was like Oh my god Here we go because we're up early. I mean we're we're we're the queens We're the ones who get there first and we leave last like you know We get there early in the to meet with the producers who do our interviews first and then we're all day with Roo or whatever's happening And then afterwards there's usually some follow-up things as well that we have to work off camera So like are there like we're there literally on set. I I think Some days we were there from eight to 10 if not most days Um and and your brain is going so hard and I don't know how she did it Jan. I don't know what oh You did it, but you walked in every day with the big smile on your face. It's inspiring to me I'd like to I'd like to bring up another great point, which is you did say you know in the three week You know it about three weeks in you were feeling a little You know a little tired. I didn't make it that far. So you know what You did Yeah Stop that you made it to episodes eight oh nine. I think I think for you is being there. Thank you. I thank you for saying that I you know I love drag race and I loved going on the show and truly that energy was very very Real for me. I was so happy to be there Um and also I was really happy to be with Jackie Um This is a little morbid, but I remember when vertigot eliminated and I lost that episode and Jackie was in the bottom It was just like it was just Maybe like the worst day in my life just with like a bunch of things happening Just like it was a complete opposite of everything that I had hoped for and wanted in my experience And I just remember sitting and crying and Jackie was consoling me and being like, Jan. Yeah, it's gonna be okay So yeah, my sister has always and whether we're At cherries on fire island or we are in the studio at drag race in In California my sister's always there for me I'm I think that's really amazing. I think you are amazing Jan I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that you come up often on this podcast because We a lot of times like and with Rachel Bloom mutual friend Girl we all the times Oh, her show death. Let me do my show. How I haven't seen. Yeah, how is it? It's coming back like plug. It's coming back to New York. I believe in the holidays. Oh my god So you can you can jingle and jam and let death Let death let Rachel do her show let death let Rachel do her show so you can go watch her show Yeah, you can go watch her show Come up a lot you come up a lot because we're just like we think it's so funny that you have you Unfortunately, they're just like become the poster child for like effort being punished Um, right? You know what I mean like and we always think it's just so bizarre Can be punished yeah, we think it's bizarre. I felt the same way too and I'm really really thankful for that So thank you for seeing me of course we both I we very much identify with you of just being like Oh gosh, like why is that a bad thing? Why is like wanting a lot and going for it bad? I don't get it Yeah, well, it's too because it's it's just that it's such an interesting situation Obviously you're being in drag race and you're being like you're being judged for things that like in a normal Like arena like no one is like Sitting and watching you write the lyrics of whatever your song ends up being no one's sitting and watching you in the rehearsal for the number That you end up doing on stage like that doesn't happen in real life people just see like whatever the finished version of the product is and for some of us Myself included like our process involves a lot of like thinking and like wheels turning And I know that like it's so exciting to see someone who's very spontaneous and off the cuff all the time Which we both have that side as well, but sometimes especially depending on the kind of Challenge it was or where we were in our head space Sometimes the wheels are turning in our heads and you can see that and that's like the normal part of any creative process for a lot of people like Yeah, I think it's it's hard because it I do understand the flip side Which is like how exciting that someone just like appeared and was able to do this seemingly off the cuff like how amazing But sometimes these challenges are things we hadn't prepared for in our mind and so you actually see us doing the work or putting forth the effort And like that's just part of our like the real creative process I remember for my commercial challenge when I got sent home we were talking in the we were talking it on tux and Jackie Kind of just highlighting this this um what she was saying is we were talking about the commercial being played back and you were like If you had seen If you was like if you she was like if you had edited that and you saw the footage that you were giving You would have been able to change what you were doing in a moment because you know The type of performer you are and you know what you'd like to see you You know how to come off and you can change that if you saw that you don't get that opportunity on drag So you are just kind of in there in that pressure cooker and hoping that it sticks and works And I was very I'm very uh you guys we know kind of a hundred percent throw it out the wall See what sticks kind of a girl And yeah, I I feel like the the whole effort thing do you want to survive or do either of you want to I do okay. I feel like it's one of those things where it's like You get punished for looking for the idol when everybody wants to look for the idol Like everybody wants to win, but you can't show that you're trying to win too much and I think that's where I kind of got um tripped up a little bit because I wanted it so bad, but I wasn't really um I couldn't take myself out of that in yeah But I mean, I don't want to even apologize for that because I really went after what I wanted in my light You should and I don't apologize I think people people say that to us on the road, though, too Like I they're obviously some people are like yeah, why couldn't you have been like and it's like Okay, I don't know who you are a person who says that kind of stuff to me But there are a lot of people just come and say oh hey, I saw what you were trying to do I mean Rachel's actually a great example for me personally and that she literally said to me in the debate challenge Where I was in the bottom that Rachel put me in the bottom, right? I mean she was contributing judge on that episode But she was like I saw what you were trying to do This is how I would have taken it and maybe made it that idea work and that's like yeah in a real creative process That's how it works is like right you would you would fix it She was like I like that you were doing this Canadian stick But maybe you could have like up the ante as the debate went on so that it got more and more ridiculous And I'm like, oh, that's a good idea now. I'm thinking okay if this was real life I've been okay great Maybe there's I added a bit worse than I'm dumping maple syrup all over myself like who knows what it would have been But we we get that opportunity in those kind of working sessions And I mean that's why I like obviously like I respect Rachel as an artist as well and obviously deep friend of the pod But it's like that's the process is like you see each other and you're like okay Obviously I didn't laugh a lot at this But I can see what you were thinking and this is how you can maybe take that idea and make it work That's like the hard thing about that show is As much as it's a learning experience because it is we're both of us It's also like you know, oh There's always like few regrets that you just have to kind of plow through and learn and do better in like your real life Or next time you ever do it. Yeah, tell me more don't go Jan. No you I was just gonna say yeah like It's it's the weirdest like hotting of the show where Only the people who experience it are getting those things like we are experiencing that in real time And everybody else is experiencing us learning from our mistakes Where you where you don't do that in real life And everybody gets to comment on us making mistakes and not being thrilled about a performance We're not perfect and you know, I think that people fans of the show who are obviously super passionate about it might not realize that We don't get the opportunity to Learn from it behind closed doors and right and it's nice when you have judges who are from the fields that you want to expand in right like Rachel telling that to you was a great Note that you could take you know with you in whatever that you applied to trying to think about things in a different way I remember Ross was telling me In one of the challenges on all stars. He was like you need more peaks and valleys And that was something that really had stuck with me because especially in my commercial challenge And I felt again, I think that was probably the note that he gave me during that commercial challenge He was just telling me to give a little more levels But the way he described it with peaks and valleys was really something that stuck to me and something that I learned from as a mistake in that room But something that I've taken throughout my entire life Now that I've you know heard that and and it really resonated with me I can take that and apply it to other things in my life But it's just crazy that we experience it and everybody else does too And so I love that we suggest ourselves to that you know, we go on the show you take those risks And you know, I just wish that people would have a little more maybe Compassion about you know, you know, yeah, I don't understand you're mistakes too, you know like it's just it's very interesting It's but it's so much fun like I and yeah, I feel better for it I'm like I'm so glad that I I'll honestly have those memories of me learning about myself and my life and how I operate and I get to watch that for Forever Yeah, it is pretty iconic moments. I I wonder yeah, I'm getting over I mean you're sitting on the iconic moment. You're showing me I'm sitting on the robe the safe the safe eyes robe And we've all been there good god have we been there um I love what you're saying and I love that um using it applicably is important So to that like I'm gonna ask a crazy question What piece of advice would you give to the season 17 girl the the girl who's getting on next what what piece of advice would you give her? Because that's the season that's casting right now, huh? I guess so right 16th already in the can 16's films no advice to give them Yeah, I think for me season 17 girl. I'm gagged. Just think about that. I it's five years almost. It's great. Hey Holy moly. I think it's and it's weird because this is something differently that I would say I wouldn't maybe have said this to Well, no, I guess I would it's just I feel like it's a little more you need to do it now You really need to figure out what you offer to the table that is different from everybody who has come 17 seasons before and to be fair Every international season that's going on at the same time too Finding something that makes you special in order to stick out whether you are on the show doing that thing That makes you special or the work that you're putting into social media afterwards is the way to gain longevity in this career because I think a lot of people jack-in-ire theater girls and I think about my drag Fortunately and unfortunately as also a business as well and how do I keep one upping myself? How do I keep keeping myself relevant? What do I do next and how can I relate to my fans who want to see more for me? I think creating that relationship with them off the bat very quickly Once the season is announced is something super important to be able to capitalize on the longevity of your future in disenfranchise work Yeah, and my advice would be to like remember that like Nothing that bad can happen to you That's I think really hard in the moment where you're like oh my god if I don't win this or do this or hear whatever Like something horrible will happen Because like I had some tough moments I had some great moments But like I learned that like I believe enough in myself and also like how I handle myself that like Anything that either happened during the show or afterwards Where the people just agree to something I said or did or things that like I can address and handle and like It'll be okay Like there's literally it's I mean as long as you obviously don't you know break any rules don't like do anything Offensive to people but in terms of like just like you and your performance as a drag queen like There are times I make up on drag race is just hideous so uggling And you know what I am still paid to put on makeup and perform people There are times when I listen to me trying to find the vocal part in boy toy Which is a song completely out of my range and so I was like how do I mix it? How do I use my hand voice and like obviously you see me in the moments That's all the time we have trying to find it in the recording studio and I sound horrible And you know what I am literally going on a 16 city tour with one of the best In the history of the franchise and singing with her sorry and next to her sorry We're gonna do it and that's okay. It's gonna be great You can literally come back from anything so like even in the moment Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed this happened that happened or oh my god I can't believe I effed up this part of the challenge like right you Have to believe that you can come back from it. You have to believe that because if you don't you can lost I've seen girls They're edit of the show like yeah, you know it okay like they start believing it I've seen girls where they just start believing it. I've heard from Queens who've been like oh my god My edit was so bad like I don't even want to do this anymore And it's like yo, you can come back. You can come back. You can you can you can you can because you or got to this level Because of who you are like I really don't think they cast filler queens in the sense that like we joke about like Yeah, they see something unique in each of us and they they They want that to shine and so like Even if you come out of the experience or come out of an episode or come out of a challenge or come out of any part of it Feeling like maybe your shine isn't as shiny as it was like You within yourself have the ability to shine yourself back up Get yourself back up take those voice lessons take those dance lessons take that Comedy note take that acting class whatever it is that you need to work on for yourself to get your confidence back And you can literally do it That's my read Yeah, I literally did womanizer on the show A lip sync that I don't think was well received by by most and to be fair I agree and honestly But people are just so less Yeah, you didn't woman either. Well, what did I but what did I just do last week? I did the official Britney book launch party. She should yes. Oh my god. Yes I saw you I saw a clip of you singing NYC sold out Britney launch party Yes, the good and bad news is people forget You know what I mean for sure Um, and like I love that what you're saying so much and obviously it's such a recurring theme in our work is like Yes, we we unfortunately have to we want the feedback from fans We want the positive feedback but at the end of the god damn day It really doesn't fucking matter what they're saying Because if you're living for you and you're putting that energy out like then you can sustain your own success Period and people and people people respond to that too like we It's so easy to focus on the negativity Rachel's really good at talking about this So I was bringing her up because I'm like oh she's smart. Let's not podcast every Samantha be and she talked about how You know like the safetyness of internet and how much you put yourself out there and how much you don't it's like There's so much negativity out there that you just have to know when to literally Ignore it and be like nope That's not for me today And I'm gonna move on and be proud of the things that I can do and work on the things that I can work on And that's literally all we can do baby That's that's that's a spirit of Christmas. Oh Oh my god Christmas time Hey full lot each other I am soaked head to toe. We're gonna come right back after this break to talk about Jan's new single dropping but first Silence my queens. I feel like taking a break Bring back my break we're back I got a sneak peek of Jan's new single holiday hook up. I believe it's called Christmas hook up. I'm sorry. I just I just know you know I grew up with Christmas It is and it should be holiday because this is a song for anybody who experiences this at At the holiday time, but yeah, it's called Christmas hook up. It's so funny and beautiful It is so funny and beautiful and I was shocked at how you balanced both Thanks. Yeah, I wanted to give a beautiful lyrical line with some beautiful melodies and harmonies a chorus even But also just I'm speaking about Hooking up with DL men who I went to high school with and I I love that I can do that over a sickening beat and melody Yeah, it's so good. It and here's the thing You want to sell some Christmas tickets you get a live performance of it at our show honey. Oh, yeah Fine. Wait, when is it drop officially? When does the single drop? It officially drops I believe December 1st, whatever the first Friday of December is at the time first for third and Yeah, if you buy a ticket to the show, I will be performing it live But I will also be doing it before it drops out. We have like five dates before the actual single comes out And so if you're there and those dates you'll be hearing the song before anyone else It's so funny. It's so cool and again, I like I just said it like I would get kept going back and forth on How funny or beautiful the song was and it really accomplishes both and it made me think of my Christmas hookups And it made me think about hmm. Maybe I should I should have a Christmas hookup this year. Maybe that's in the cards. Yeah Absolutely, that's what the song's all about. It's bringing awareness because I have to tell you I brought this idea up to a bunch of my friends who know that I'm making this song and I was like Yeah, you know like when you're at home for the holidays and you hook up with somebody from your high school And I like what they're like that happens to you. I was like Yeah, it's like is that is that not a common thing for everybody? Yeah, and they were like well no I was like well that sucks It was like you have to experience that like like so do it. So yeah, I would say go out there There is a specific tension to like coming back to your hometown and like reconnecting with someone And it's like whether it the hookups are good or bad. You're like I'm gonna remember that Oh 100% I will say in my experiences most of them no shade to y'all who are listening to this, but it's been bad Um, but you know what I will yeah, the one I'm thinking of was bad But I'll say this like The new jersey boy school of the sacred heart. Yes, I hooked up with I hooked up with this boy from high school Who has no idea what he's fucking doing and now we're fucking 28 years old and he has no fucking clue And you know what maybe I'm the first or second guy. He's ever been with but honey. I'll remember it too And I know he will as well My power the power I'm gonna tell you by mine too mine was so like it should have been good where the guy was hot But clearly had some closity issues and then I was like, okay, wow his body is very nice But then he started touching me like the way you pick up a turtle at a pet store like he was Do you know what I mean? I'm like no, I'm 100% touch my body. He's fucking like you touch my body But he was like it's it's the closed mouth kiss to oh God I can't it was I don't think I have I don't think I've they don't know what I will say like this is Yeah, I have an ex not No, like This is a conversation starter Thank you, Jen for bringing On this topic.
