Henry's first question to Alaska is about supplements, which she answers with characteristic wit — she works out reluctantly, hates every second, drinks plant-based protein, and recently added creatine, which she suspects is 'probably just placebo powder' but finds motivating anyway. The conversation pivots quickly to the White House UFC watch party held on the same grounds as the January 6th rally, which featured a mechanical bull, audience fights, and a bald eagle on a chain. Alaska's verdict: 'Idiocracy has become a documentary.' Ed digs into the detail that President Camacho from Idiocracy is actually a more morally coherent leader than the current president, since he listens to his advisors and learns from mistakes. The hosts then quiz Alaska, as a drag professional, on her read of Trump's makeup and hair — she notes it looks 'shoddily applied' and suggests the hair system probably takes the longest, with Henry confirming from a personal encounter that Trump pawed through Green Room food without eating any and smelled 'like a garbage dump.'
