Speaker 2: with a nipple, so who's that pone with a nipple?
Speaker 2: The film was part of obviously massive among the l
Speaker 2: g B t Q plus community because it's camp and
Speaker 2: it spawned, and it spawned like a million. I was
Speaker 2: trying to find the word. Then I nearly said menageriine
Speaker 2: thought that's rude. A group of animals spawn a menagerie
Speaker 2: of drag queens.
Speaker 3: That's I didn't know what you were going to say.
Speaker 2: A group of drag queens who who just love Miranda.
Speaker 2: So this is Alexis Stone, who I think was a

Speaker 1: commercial pilot for no apparent reason.
Speaker 2: So he he made a surprise appearance a fan event,
Speaker 2: which was a single long grease event in l A.
Speaker 2: Now you see, it's been known for his wiglets over
Speaker 2: the years, not particularly very convincing, but he turned up
Speaker 2: like that. That's him as the original Danny Zuko. That's
Speaker 2: how he's kind of portrayed himself the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: Again, See that's all worked one.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's had worked on those crows feet.
Speaker 1: I think, well, I think exactly refresh, shall we say so?
Speaker 2: Yeah? He posted that photo of him in the hot
Speaker 2: photo on Instagram sporting a great spelling gray hair. There's

Speaker 1: Well he's caused some interesting conversations to have. As he
Speaker 1: went to a water park. Okay, okay, basically he went
Speaker 1: and sat next to the water slide.
Speaker 3: As as a tourist went down.
Speaker 2: Okay, what I was expecting?
Speaker 3: What were you expecting?
Speaker 2: Well, he's fully dressed. Yeah. For one thing, I thought
Speaker 2: he was himself in the to enjoy the slides himself.
Speaker 2: I was fully expecting like him stuck at the end
Speaker 2: of the waterside with the water building up behind him.
Speaker 2: I thought that was going to be there.
Speaker 3: Like a thing from Challenge Jocol Patrick. Yes, he gets
Speaker 3: stuck in the No, so he sat there watching some
Speaker 3: of his subjects people. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.

Speaker 1: but you have to go through a lot of hoops and.
Speaker 2: A lot of times. I'm not allowed to go because
Speaker 2: you're a homosexual.
Speaker 3: And also because I say they like this.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so there's very strict criteria and once you've
Speaker 1: been denied, basically you're not going to ever get in.
Speaker 2: I would like to have been the person that organized
Speaker 2: the person coming down the slide. I would imagine all
Speaker 2: the people were lined up and I would have gone
Speaker 2: for the biggest person sent them down. There's like memes
Speaker 2: you say that whether clearly AI a giant person plops
Speaker 2: and the whole water goes whooosh. Yeah, I just set
Speaker 2: myself down.
Speaker 3: Actually you said it, not me.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the despite all set ups, the layouts raised eyebrows,
Speaker 1: especially putting the dictator in the splash zone.
Speaker 2: The splash zone. Was he just just what was what
