00:00Congratulations, $30,000, the house of Miyake Mclean.
00:15We just won $30,000.
00:17Mclean!
00:18Fuck you and that bandana.
00:20Excuse you, young lady.
00:21Excuse me.
00:22Excuse me.
00:23No, no, no.
00:24Yeah, we're winning.
00:25See, we're not going to keep playing like that.
00:26Mclean has been very disrespectful to him and his authority, and not respecting him
00:31as a potential figure in this house.
00:33Can you believe Andre sent me an application to apply to be in the house when I've already
00:37been in the house?
00:38He's the overall mother.
00:39There are protocols that he must follow.
00:40He said that same thing.
00:42I think Yusef has your best interest.
00:44He always has.
00:45I do think some people cannot stand you because sometimes they think you can be a bitch.
00:48If you want to be a part of this family, why are you doing these little things that can
00:52come off as messy?
00:53I wasn't trying to be messy with you all.
00:55Where I'm at with this right now, it's in our best interest to be cordial at the moment.
00:59Ultimately, I want to be Mugler.
01:01That's my goal at the end of the day.
01:02As far as Mugler comes, it's a no for me.
01:23Oh shit, Ross.
01:24Ross!
01:25Hi!
01:26What's up?
01:27What's up, baby?
01:28Rosalyn.
01:29What's going on?
01:30How are you?
01:31Easy.
01:32Ooh.
01:33Y'all want a drink?
01:34Ross, you want a drink?
01:35Yes, yes.
01:36Tequila?
01:37You want tequila?
01:38I'll have tequila on the rocks with a slice of lime and a little bit of soda.
01:45My accent is terrible, by the way.
01:47I'm here with Ross and Xotic talking shit, catching up on our new prospects, the induction
01:53and my birthday Y-Ball.
01:55This is going to be so fucking epic.
01:58So I got to fill you in on my birthday slash branding Mock Ball.
02:03Yeah, give me the deets.
02:04The house is supposed to split up into different houses, and we are giving away $1,500 to the
02:10house with the most points.
02:11The Mock Ball is when the house gets to break up into sub-houses, give each other their
02:16own house name, and compete against one another.
02:19And each person has to walk a category that they're not known for and just kind of have
02:23to find.
02:24Teams are still building.
02:25I know for a fact Tati said, I want my own house, and it's called the House of Slam.
02:29Slam.
02:30Slam.
02:31And Lolita just basically announced her house, the House of Leopard.
02:36So there's one more house that has not made the roster.
02:39So do y'all want to start your own house?
02:42So do y'all want to start a house or no?
02:45But we don't know who was in what house.
02:46I mean, it was just an idea.
02:48I'm super excited for his birthday ball, but I'm kind of not sure about joining the girls
02:52in the house.
02:53Mainly because that can be very difficult to deal with at times.
02:56Because you know the girls are messy.
02:58Oh my fucking God.
02:59AJ thought that he was supporting anybody in the house, especially people that Yusef
03:04introduced him to.
03:05He actually likes Brooklyn and the girls and thought that that was what being their bro
03:10was about in the ballroom.
03:12He's just thinking that he's extending himself to the rest of the family.
03:14That's exactly what I said.
03:15To our kids and our daughters.
03:17Everybody's blaming AJ for everything, but putting himself in that situation is to be
03:21like their scapegoat.
03:22This has been a work in progress from the beginning.
03:24What I don't want to happen is when we get in the induction meeting, is you know the
03:28Mughali is.
03:29They're going to grow him out.
03:30And then someone gets to ask him certain questions that trigger.
03:33I don't want him to pass out like that in the meeting.
03:35And of course, like coming into the ballroom and you thinking like, all right, I got some
03:39comrades.
03:40He really looks up to you.
03:41I mean, you're his friend.
03:42Like, you're the reason that he's here.
03:44We should all follow through and see what we can do to make sure that he's good when
03:49it's time for this meeting to come.
03:50I mean, he has potential.
03:52And he was like 100 percent.
03:53I want to walk balls.
03:55I want to learn.
03:56I'm glad he hit y'all up and asked for help.
03:58House of Miyake Mughali inductions are coming up and we have approximately 30 prospects.
04:07That's a lot of prospects.
04:08So we are ready to see who's up to the challenge of becoming a Miyake Mughali.
04:13So I met with Elena.
04:15Who?
04:16Elena.
04:17Elena Bloom.
04:18Oh my God.
04:19But yeah, so we met up for lunch the other day.
04:22Listen, so we started off talking.
04:25She was like, I just feel some type of way that y'all would have me fill out an application.
04:28I feel like, to some degree, I rebirthed y'all.
04:33To some degree.
04:34You what?
04:35Oh, no.
04:36I told her, I said, at the end of the day, you still have to answer before the house
04:39because you didn't just leave the house on good terms.
04:41I said, you left the house on bad terms.
04:43Then you bashed the house.
04:45Yeah.
04:46So I feel like this application, yeah, you have to fill this out.
04:47I wish that she was going to bash her.
04:48Yeah, you have to fill this out.
04:51Did she have to get it notarized?
04:52I said, I understand.
04:53Okay.
04:54Okay.
04:55That part.
04:56Her energy was giving.
04:57Bitch, I made Mughali irrelevant again.
04:59No.
05:00Like.
05:01Ooh.
05:02What she did was rebirth herself.
05:03That was a house that was already born and breeding and fucking producing more and more
05:08children.
05:09So she just became one of those girls.
05:11But what she did was breathe life into the category.
05:14Absolutely.
05:15I just feel like, right now, she's giving, oh, you know, I don't know if I want to come
05:19back because all of this is going on.
05:21I feel like this is your escape because you're scared you're not going to get back in.
05:24I hate that she's involved in all of this shit.
05:26But at the same time, this is kind of the things that the girls wanted her to be a part
05:29of.
05:30They wanted to feel that she was like, real, actual person and not like a robot.
05:35I've made my own peace with Lena.
05:37And I feel like Yusef needs to have a conversation with Lena and needs to handle the situation
05:41before the induction meeting.
05:43I'm going to need another drink on that.
05:44Let's just do this shot real quick.
05:45What are we cheersing to?
05:46To Lena filling out her application.
05:47To Lena filling out her application to rebirth the house again.
05:49So, cheers.
05:50Let me see the video you were looking at.
05:51Oh, I thought you were a snake.
05:52Is that really what y'all want?
05:53No.
05:54Oh, no, you got to slow down.
05:55I was starting faster.
05:56Well, we'll make sure that you're together and you look fine.
05:57At the meeting, you know, I'm not going to be like, don't go.
05:58I'm not going to be the one.
05:59I'm going to be the one.
06:00I'm going to be the one.
06:01You're not going to be the one.
06:02You're not going to be the one.
06:03I'm going to be the one.
06:04I'm not going to be the one.
06:05I'm going to be the one.
06:06I'm going to be the one.
06:07Is that really what y'all want?
06:08No.
06:09Oh no, you just, you gotta slow down.
06:11I want something faster.
06:12Well, we'll make sure that you're together
06:14and you look fine.
06:15At the meeting, you know, it's a presentation.
06:18You also have not really been in the ballroom scene
06:20or walked the ball, so.
06:21Is there not a Bible for this stuff?
06:23Where's the Bible?
06:24It's up here.
06:25For now, you know, that's how it's been.
06:28Yeah, because anything else would have been
06:30duplicated and like shared and shared.
06:32It's like a family formula.
06:34Yeah, yeah.
06:35But you know, I'm gonna definitely give you
06:36like some little tips.
06:38Oh God, AJ.
06:40Like AJ has a lot to learn before the induction meeting,
06:44but I think he'll make short work of it.
06:46Especially if I'm training him.
06:49What's up with the induction?
06:50I already picked out a sleek black shiny suit.
06:54And I've been thinking about my ballroom persona.
06:56Two personas.
06:58And both honestly relate to my parents.
07:00One will be like dynamic and like just give it to them.
07:04I was asking my dad.
07:05And I think if I have to think of like beauty and grace,
07:07I'll just think of my mom.
07:09Yeah, okay.
07:09My mom died when I was in sixth grade
07:11and my dad passed away this year.
07:12So like family is super, super important to me.
07:15And I came to this house looking for family,
07:18looking for guidance, looking for a father figure.
07:22Well, hopefully you're able to gain a family here.
07:26You know, some of that connection
07:28that you said that you wanted.
07:30As you move forward in life, it's always great to grow
07:33and to build on, you know, things that you have.
07:36Hopefully like I'm able to be there for you
07:38in the ways that you need more than anything, you know,
07:41not just like pushing you to always walk
07:43or something like that, you know.
07:45I appreciate that.
07:46No, your advice has been good so far.
07:48Thank you for giving me your ear.
07:49I really appreciate you being like my father,
07:51being my sponsor.
07:53I think that now AJ's been humbled.
07:56He's definitely learning.
07:57His eyes are opening,
07:59but he's still carrying that same spirit.
08:01He still projects how good of a person that he is,
08:04even despite some of these negative situations.
08:06So I'm excited for him to become a part of the house.
08:10So what did we have in Dunston?
08:12Well, wait, how did that stuff go with Tati?
08:15I think she wanted to let me know
08:16she was a Miyake Mugler.
08:17She wore the biggest Miyake Mugler shirt ever.
08:20I'm like, girl, I get it.
08:22She apologized.
08:23Okay.
08:24Even though we didn't get deep into it,
08:25but we were able to come to a resolve
08:28and that we would be cordial with each other.
08:31She also said that she would not vote for me,
08:33but she didn't seem like she would be trying
08:35to be spiteful and work against me.
08:37All right.
08:37So what's up?
08:38Do you have any questions?
08:39I'm not worried about sex appeal.
08:41I've been in the gym heavy.
08:42The only thing I'm still worried about,
08:44face, because at this point I've been,
08:46I felt the chop of people a few times
08:48and it just makes me like a little anxious
08:51when it comes to that, honestly.
08:52Oh, I got you.
08:53I got you.
08:54Let's do this.
08:55We still have some work to do and whatnot.
08:58I don't think anybody understands
08:59how much pressure I have put on myself
09:02to get into this house.
09:03And ultimately what I'm worried about
09:05is the talent portion.
09:06And I am stressed.
09:08Whatever?
09:09Yes.
09:10So serious.
09:17Slow it down in general.
09:18Okay.
09:19You know, yeah, the movements,
09:20but also you can just look.
09:22You don't have to touch it.
09:24Okay.
09:25I definitely think when you smile,
09:27it's attractive and it makes other people smile.
09:30Even this pose right here is very strong.
09:32Like I'm able to really kind of get into your spirit
09:34and whatnot.
09:36Not so many hand gestures.
09:37Okay.
09:42Smile for me more.
09:44In order for him to stand next to the face kids
09:46in this house, we have to polish it off more.
09:49But until people get certain things right,
09:52it's really hard to gauge how close or far they are,
09:55really from the goal.
09:56You don't have to look at everybody
09:58and everyone's face and whatnot,
09:59but then as you get up to the judges panel,
10:01yeah, you want to run the table,
10:03you know, right across.
10:05Every now and then I like to put my hand
10:07like right on the table.
10:08And that's it.
10:09Not a lot of extra gestures
10:11that pull away from like my face.
10:13Okay.
10:14Because that's really like what you're selling.
10:15I will be practicing more and more this week, I promise.
10:18So I will invite you to the gym session
10:21that like I'm having like with the girls
10:23and trying to get all slim and trim.
10:25I can't help them.
10:26All right, well, let's wrap it up.
10:29I decided to meet up with Brooklyn
10:31because some of the things that have come across my desk
10:33are not okay.
10:35Let's see exactly what she's going through
10:36that's causing her to act out.
10:38So what's been going on with you?
10:39I got a call from Callen-Lorde the other day
10:41and they basically told me that I was over-moaning.
10:46How can you be over-moaning?
10:47I guess I was taking more hormones than I'm supposed to.
10:51So she told me that my hormone levels were off.
10:54I was like, oh my God, I don't know what's going on.
10:56I was like, oh my God, I don't know what's going on.
10:58She told me that my hormone levels
10:59were supposed to be at 100 to 300.
11:02How much were they?
11:03I want you to take a guess.
11:04How much do you think they were at?
11:06500?
11:06No.
11:08Higher?
11:08Yes.
11:09What was the number?
11:10She told me my levels were at 2,000.
11:12Brooklyn, why would you do that?
11:14It wasn't on purpose.
11:16So she told me my testosterone levels were also high.
11:19I was confused when she told me that
11:21because like, you know, I take my tea blockers every day.
11:24So I'm like, how are my testosterone levels high?
11:26But she also informed me that when you have too much
11:28hormones in your body, it turns into testosterone.
11:32So when she said that, it kind of made sense.
11:34I was actually supposed to take a hormone shot two days ago
11:37and I skipped it.
11:39Okay, why'd you skip it?
11:40Because, you know, my hormones-
11:41You finally get the rest of it out of your system.
11:42Yeah, I gotta like, you know, let it come down.
11:44You've kind of gotten yourself together
11:46in the whole overdosing situation.
11:49And I could imagine how much it's changed your moods
11:52considering you had that much in your system.
11:56You can say moodiness is a side effect.
11:58I've been taking way too much hormones.
12:01And so, it's hard to suggest maybe that's the reason
12:04why I'm so cutthroat at the moment.
12:08But I don't want to say, oh, it's the hormones.
12:11You know, like, I don't think it's that.
12:14So what's really going on with you?
12:15Because you've been acting out and everything.
12:17And I don't like-
12:18Like, I see how you be talking to Yusef on the phone
12:21and how you talk to me in person.
12:22I think you sometimes forget that
12:25we are still like, your leaders, your parents.
12:27Like, we're not like, your duties and your girlfriends.
12:30I want you to stop that.
12:33Like, call bitches and all of this, blah, blah, blah.
12:36I don't-
12:37I never called him a bitch.
12:37I put the finger in the face.
12:38Yes, you did, I was on the phone when you did it.
12:39Are you kidding me?
12:40Absolutely.
12:41You cannot be doing that.
12:43You want to be the baby,
12:44then you want to be treated like the baby,
12:45then here it is.
12:45You have to respect Yusef and myself
12:47as your parents in this house.
12:50But I feel like Yusef doesn't give me respect.
12:53What kind of respect are you talking about?
12:55So, we got into it at the Little Legends dinner
12:58that he threw.
12:58And, you know, he brought up the whole AJ situation,
13:01which, you know, I do understand where he was coming from.
13:03But I felt like he was also being, like,
13:05really dismissive, telling me something,
13:07and then that's it.
13:08Sometimes I can be a little mouthy,
13:09but Yusef is definitely being a hater.
13:12And I was being disrespected.
13:14So, you know, you're not going to get too much respect
13:16from someone you're disrespecting.
13:17So, I look at it like this.
13:19You were wrong, because that is Yusef's prospects,
13:22and you guys should have respected
13:23that this is father's prospects.
13:25I'm going to keep hands off and let men respect that.
13:27Yeah.
13:28And I think at the end of the day,
13:29that's probably why he didn't give you room to talk.
13:31You know, I should have never dibbled and dabbled in AJ,
13:32because that's his and not mine.
13:34I think I got through to Brooklyn today.
13:36I think she knows that she's just like anybody else,
13:39and that she has to respect Yusef
13:41and anyone else in authority in this house.
13:44I think she also understands
13:45that she has to communicate better as well.
13:47I got to get going, boo.
13:48I wish I could've stayed and talked longer, huh?
13:50I love you, baby.
13:51I love you.
13:52Oh.
13:54♪♪♪
13:58♪♪♪
14:00All right.
14:02Yeah.
14:03She want to do whatever she like.
14:05Flip fast, die young.
14:06It's a hell of a life.
14:07Oh, I want a piece of him, girl.
14:09You too, right?
14:09Yes, honey.
14:11I'm so happy to be here in the gym,
14:13and I'm even motivated to find men up in here.
14:17Ooh.
14:18What we doing?
14:19You gonna do a box jump?
14:22Ooh.
14:23You ready?
14:24Step with your right leg.
14:25You just got to play.
14:27You can climb up the rope.
14:28♪♪♪
14:31What?
14:32♪♪♪
14:36Six, seven.
14:38♪♪♪
14:41This feels so stupid.
14:43And that's basically opening this up.
14:45Oh, that feels good.
14:46So if you want to bust a split,
14:47this is, like, a perfect exercise
14:49to get you into that.
14:50Okay.
14:51What's up, what's up?
14:52Hello, ladies.
14:53Hi.
14:54Hello, darling.
14:55Hello.
14:56Hi, everyone.
14:57How you feeling?
14:58I want to eat.
14:59You'll be here.
15:00I'm gonna try to touch your T and me.
15:02Ron's got a nice body.
15:03He is, you know, missing a few screws,
15:06but he does have a nice body.
15:08Now bring it back to me.
15:10Good.
15:11There you go.
15:12And then here.
15:13♪♪♪♪
15:21You walking the football?
15:22Uh-huh.
15:23You walking?
15:24No, but I'll be there to support.
15:25Okay, that's cute.
15:26So be in the back cheering.
15:28Why you not walking?
15:29I have inductions coming up.
15:30Oh, that's right.
15:31I forgot.
15:32I keep forgetting.
15:33The credit score is low for AJ
15:35getting into the house right now.
15:37It's giving 550 credit score for AJ right now.
15:39He gonna have to work hard to rise that.
15:41I'll be there to cheer everybody up.
15:42So how's your tutor been?
15:44Ross?
15:45That's my father.
15:46Thumbelina.
15:47Yes, Ross.
15:48Yeah, it's been great.
15:49He's helped me focus on, like,
15:51what the categories really call for.
15:52Uh-huh.
15:53And what it looks like to actually, like,
15:54sell it in certain categories.
15:56What's up?
15:57I'm excited.
15:58I'm grateful.
15:59I don't necessarily see a change yet in AJ
16:01from Ross supposedly mentoring him,
16:03but we'll see when he hit the floor.
16:05So what are you walking in the box?
16:07It's supposed to be, like,
16:08opposite of what you actually walk, right?
16:10Mm-hmm.
16:11Chanel's walking performance.
16:12You've been practicing performance?
16:14Of course.
16:17What are you walking?
16:19Anything but runway.
16:21But I gotta be there for my kids.
16:23Okay.
16:24Because the House of Slam is coming to take the 1500,
16:26and that's on period.
16:28You gonna do a house?
16:29No.
16:30What would you walk, though?
16:31We'll see.
16:32We will, because I will be walking performance, darling.
16:36So you better be ready.
16:38I'm gonna meet you at the back.
16:39Oh, yeah.
16:40Split your ass wide open.
16:41That way you can get your quick weight loss, bitch.
16:43Oh!
16:46All right.
16:47I've done enough working out.
16:48I need my bagel.
17:01Hi.
17:02Hi.
17:03You look so nice.
17:04Hey, honey.
17:07How are you?
17:08I'm good. How are you?
17:09Good.
17:10You guys look like you got a lot on your mind.
17:12A lot is an understatement.
17:14It's a lot, huh?
17:16Yeah.
17:17Just had to make sure everybody's on the same page.
17:19Uh-huh.
17:20And the prospects,
17:21making sure that they're all together and ready.
17:23Right.
17:24Are you ready?
17:25I'm really excited to actually sit down
17:27and have this conversation and talk to you guys,
17:29because there's a lot of stuff that's been on my mind.
17:32Oh, hi.
17:33Hi.
17:34There he goes.
17:35Wow, you look so nice.
17:36Thank you.
17:37I love all your white women on your shirt.
17:39Is there a black woman?
17:40Oh, you are a black woman.
17:42Well, she was black
17:43until I had to put a tank top underneath.
17:45It made her whiter.
17:48Hey, guys. How are you?
17:49Welcome to Antidote.
17:51Thank you.
17:52Maybe I can get something to drink.
17:53Can I have a rosé?
17:54Rosé?
17:55Yes, please.
17:56I'm going to get the lychee.
17:57Yes.
17:58Great.
17:59I'm going to have the Cloudy Enigma.
18:00Cloudy Enigma.
18:01Oh, okay.
18:02So, me and Lena have been talking about the prospects.
18:05Hold up.
18:06You jumping the gun.
18:07Like, we need to talk about her return to the house.
18:12Listen, I'm not.
18:13I've already had my conversations with Lena.
18:15Although I have a few more things to say.
18:16Have you had your conversations with the house?
18:18Have you had your conversations with the other leaders?
18:20Have you had your other conversations with her?
18:24Yousef is sitting down with this fiery energy
18:26because he wants Lena to know that he's not playing.
18:29He wants to make sure that she understands how serious this is.
18:32Lena wants to be back in this house.
18:34Is there something that I'm missing?
18:35Of course she has to come to the induction meeting.
18:37Wait, when is it?
18:38Wait.
18:39Stop.
18:40Wait, when is the induction meeting?
18:41Lena.
18:42She got to look at her calendar now.
18:43You never told me about there was an induction meeting.
18:45I never told you about an induction.
18:46You still have the application that you got upset about me sending you.
18:49Yes.
18:50And you went off at the last time we had the meeting.
18:52But I thought about it and I was like,
18:53now I feel like since you guys are doing it protocol,
18:57I think it's very respectful to do it.
18:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:00And they're very strict on it now.
19:01Okay, so here's my thing.
19:02It's only right that you let people know where you are now.
19:05Especially when it comes to ballroom and when it comes to this house.
19:08It was a lot of feelings hurt.
19:09Of course I was hurt.
19:10You know I was hurt.
19:11And I wasn't the only one.
19:13So your induction is completely different.
19:16But it's an induction.
19:18People want to hear you.
19:19Yeah, I'm glad to think you want to hear me and all that stuff.
19:23Returning to the house of Miyake Mugler would mean an opportunity for me to start over.
19:27We can do things differently this time.
19:29I told you how I felt in the beginning that, like, Laina, it's on you.
19:32How you come back to this house is you create the narrative for that.
19:36Exactly.
19:37A lot of kids came to her and wanted to kind of like have her as a mentor.
19:40And that's something that she was not available for.
19:42So a lot of people took that as if she was being rude or she was being a bitch.
19:46And, you know, all of these things that no one has time for.
19:48Not even me.
19:49I really want to genuinely know if you feel like you are 100% ready to come back to this house.
19:53I don't want you to look stupid and I don't want to look stupid.
19:56No, no, no.
19:57I got you. Let me finish.
19:58This is an opportunity for you to be able to touch your women in this house to help them.
20:04I want to do this differently this time.
20:06And I feel like we can do this and make it happen.
20:08And it's going to be an amazing experience.
20:11This is my opportunity to help, to mentor, to be, you know, a beacon of hope if anyone needs anything.
20:17So wait, does this mean that it's official that you are coming to the induction?
20:22It's official that I'm coming to the induction venue.
20:24I want to come to the house.
20:26If you coming back, let's fuck shit up.
20:29Absolutely.
20:30Let's do it the right way.
20:31Yes, part business and part family.
20:35We have to work on the family.
20:36Let's do it.
20:37I think the commitment to join in a house, you have to be all the way in or not at all.
20:42And I need to come back to the house with, like, no bullshit, no drama, and really have a good time.
20:47Cheers. Love y'all. Thank y'all.
20:50C'est mon bled.
20:51C'est mon bled.
20:52Not yet.
20:54Leave her alone.
20:55Bitch, I'm going to the restroom. Bye-bye.
20:58Wrong way.
21:00Girl, you gotta pay the bill.
21:15So here we are. Induction day.
21:17A big moment for the house. The entire house is here.
21:20These national inductions don't happen all the time, so there's a lot of potential new members.
21:24And this is the moment where you have to come in and impress an entire house.
21:32Miss Lena Bloom is coming to try and rejoin the house.
21:36And AJ is here.
21:37Does AJ have what it takes?
21:39Take this off.
21:41Put the jacket on. Let me see what this jacket is.
21:43I'm really excited and I'm anxious for AJ to be presented and to show the house what he has.
21:49He needs this.
21:51I think that it will be a huge boost in life.
21:53Not only just to his confidence, but his security.
21:56Oh yeah, you got that fitted.
21:59Don't get overwhelmed. Just breathe.
22:01You'll be perfectly fine.
22:04That, your confidence, not necessarily your cockiness.
22:08He goes a long way with the group.
22:10I've put on like my best black suit.
22:13I've got my lips ready for talent.
22:15I've studied the history.
22:16All 50 pages of it and I can tell you all the bylaws.
22:19I appreciate it.
22:21Nervous, but prepared.
22:28Today is the induction meeting for the house of Mugler.
22:30I'm excited to see everybody.
22:32I haven't been around these people in a very long time.
22:34And I'm pretty sure people got some shit to say.
22:36And let's bring it.
22:38So here we are, going to the courtroom with prospects.
22:41This is a very secret process.
22:43Nobody knows what goes on in our inductions.
22:46And I like it that way.
22:47It's been that way from the beginning.
23:05This is an opportunity for me to do things differently.
23:08So I'm going to sit on this little stool.
23:11And I'm going to do my email.
23:12And when y'all are ready to give me the tea, then I'll get the tea.
23:17I'm ready.
23:25Am I going to get in?
23:27I'm hoping.
23:29Everything that I put in this time and this moment,
23:31I will know by the end of this night, was it worth it or wasn't it?
23:47Guess who is a Miyake Mugler?
23:54Thank you so, so, so much. I'm so happy.
23:57Lena, Miyake Mugler, welcome home, baby.
24:02Oh my God. I am so happy to be back.
24:06It feels good to be here.
24:07It feels good to be back where it all started.
24:09Hi, Sigi.
24:10They let me back in the house.
24:12Bitch, I'm here.
24:13What's up?
24:14It was so many prospects, girl.
24:16It was so many prospects.
24:17They had me waiting.
24:18I've never waited in my life for anything that long.
24:21And a lot of people in the house, they love to hate me.
24:23Like, what is with the shade, darling?
24:25But everybody saw it.
24:26Yusuf came out.
24:27He said, oh my God, congrats, you're in.
24:30They need my support more than anything.
24:31They might not say they need it, but they need it.
24:33All right.
24:34I love you.
24:35I'm getting my cab right now.
24:36I'm going to talk to you later. Bye.
24:37So I'm headed right now out of town for my dad's 60th birthday.
24:41So I can't make it to Yusuf's party.
24:43Yusuf.
24:44And my dad, they're both Leo, so he should understand.
24:56AJ, I know it's been a bumpy ride,
24:58and I had to step away and let you do your own thing.
25:01But I want to congratulate you for being Miyake Mugler.
25:07I got into Miyake Mugler, and I have been accepted.
25:11And I am a Mugler.
25:13How do you feel?
25:15Yeah, it feels amazing.
25:19You called me back up?
25:20I was like, back up, back up, back up.
25:24I was thinking of all the things.
25:30I'm so proud of AJ because he really deserves to be in the house.
25:33You hated that move?
25:36Thank you.
25:37I knew you would get in for a thing.
25:39I didn't even have to overstep.
25:40I did one move, and I was like,
25:41and what you did was, you took it like,
25:43and you really sold it.
25:46You really showed out, did what you needed to do for the house.
25:52I'm happy you got in.
25:54Yeah!
25:55I am. I was your sister before.
25:57Feels good to be a Mugler.
26:00Yeah!
26:12So today is my birthday party.
26:13What we call the Y Ball.
26:14I am so excited.
26:16It's been a long time since I invited to house to like,
26:18celebrate my birthday with me.
26:20This definitely would have been a great place for Laina to actually
26:23show up and be a part of something so personal.
26:26But her not being here is, it's okay.
26:29Trust me, the ball will go on.
26:32Hi!
26:33Hey, honey.
26:34Hi, my man.
26:35Giving scheme.
26:36Thank you.
26:37Mock balls are a tradition, like, in the house.
26:40So may the most creative win.
26:42Hi, boo-boo.
26:43Happy birthday. Thanks so much.
26:44You look good.
26:45How does this display look?
26:46Don't you do display?
26:48I'm basically celebrating my own brand, Y by Youssef,
26:51at my birthday party.
26:52There's so much inspiration behind the Y by Youssef
26:55that comes from Ballroom.
26:56And I'm so excited to show my product to the world.
27:00Do the winners get a lifetime supply of Y?
27:03Y.
27:05Me and Miss Youssef, it's giving a little tension,
27:08but I'm still showing up for support.
27:10Oh, I'm coming for hair affair.
27:11I'm letting you know that now.
27:12You're gonna gag.
27:13Not with Barbara on.
27:14No, definitely not.
27:16How you feeling?
27:17You look lovely.
27:18I'm excited.
27:19It's gonna be fun.
27:20It'll be an easy night.
27:21No pressure.
27:22So, I started my own house.
27:24I'm from Leopard.
27:25And I decided to add AJ to my team.
27:27These are your siblings.
27:29Hello.
27:30AJ.
27:31And this is Katria.
27:32Nice to meet you.
27:33Everybody is grouped off into the corners
27:36with their mock houses and strategizing
27:39and actually finding people to be members
27:41and join the house, like, as they walk in.
27:44Come to the house and slam.
27:45I can't.
27:46Why?
27:47I am not in the house today because I am judging.
27:50I wanted to be as non-biased as possible.
27:52I can get him for sex appeal, right?
27:54Except for whatever you want to use him for.
27:56If you wanted to walk a bar, here you go.
27:58It's a mock ball, so it's fun.
28:00Yo, we trying to get Lorenzo to come on over to the slams, baby.
28:05Put one hand up, you know.
28:07Yeah.
28:08I think Lorenzo would be perfect for sex appeal.
28:11You know, he's sexy with his clothes on.
28:13We need that point.
28:15You know how to do runway?
28:16Instruction.
28:17I can give you runway.
28:18The girls are like hyenas trying to get Rendy into their house.
28:22We need you to tear somebody up.
28:29You ain't letting them recruit you?
28:31I'm still on the fence.
28:32I'm going to need to be approached the right way.
28:34I think it was cute that the House of Slam decided to recruit Lorenzo.
28:39But little do they know that I have started my own house.
28:43The House of Beefcake.
28:44Well, I'm the overall father of the House of Beefcake.
28:47But don't tell nobody.
28:48Let me be a prospect.
28:49Who I talk to?
28:52Excuse me.
28:53Are you a leopard?
28:54I am a leopard.
28:55Well, I think that you should walk and you should chew up the House of Slam.
28:59Femme queens are oxymorons.
29:01I'm learning.
29:02So you should totally chew up with the House of Leopard.
29:05So just pay it, you know.
29:07Cheers, y'all, to a fabulous night of friendly competition.
29:11Yeah!
29:12Happy birthday!
29:13Happy birthday!
29:14Happy birthday!

29:50That's fresh!
29:51Oh!

29:54That is your form.
29:56Best.

30:13I am extremely competitive.
30:17If I want something, I'm gonna go for it.
30:22Wait, we did this wrong.
30:24Yes, excuse me.
30:25They don't even know I got chef on.
30:27And then I gotta pinch whatever parts I don't want to move.
30:31Nine.
30:32Come on, come on.
30:33Eight.
30:34Seven.
30:35Good luck, father.
30:36Let me come and watch.

30:54Five.
30:55Six.
30:57Three.
30:58Two.
30:59One.
31:02You know, that's how we slay at a Mark Bar.
31:04It's the spontaneity.
31:05It's the creativity.
31:07It's the performance.
31:09The next category is face.
31:11Bring it!
31:18Tonight, Tati is walking face.
31:20I think this will be like a walk in the park for her.
31:24Hold on!
31:28Five.
31:32Yo, Tati is eating it for face, baby.
31:35My girlfriend got a heart, y'all.
31:37I'm loving it!
31:38Don't get slapped!
31:39Goddamn!
31:41Don't get slapped!
31:42Goddamn!
31:44Bitch!
31:45Don't get slapped!
31:46Goddamn!

32:03This is an eating competition.
32:04No shame!
32:05No shame!
32:06They trying everything.
32:07This ball definitely feels fixed for the house of Beefcake to win.
32:12The next category is runway.
32:23Even though this is a mock ball, you can definitely tell that everyone is very serious about this,
32:35including Brooklyn.
32:36How are you booking a house?
32:40What are you trying to do?
32:41Win your cash back?
32:42No, that's not fair.
32:43That's not fair.
33:03We are in the lead right now.
33:05I'm sure we'll be on top.
33:07This is a motherfucking setup, what?
33:08Here we go again.
33:09Get this motherfucker home, bitch!
33:12Put the motherfucking cover on.
33:14This is really quiet.
33:17A judge on a tennis night?
33:19How do you let someone who threw their own ball walk and win?
33:23This is my setup!
33:25Pack it up!
33:26I called a fire marshal, pack it up!
33:29Oh, you can't walk your own ball.
33:31This is a setup.
33:32Shut the fuck up, this is a mock ball.
33:33We can do whatever we want.
33:34Let me tell y'all something, the house of meat-packing
33:38history showed up.
33:40He deserves to have his own fun time.
33:42But it's his birthday.
33:43Do what you want.
33:44Hey, get you some.
33:46Y'all get to the slate.
33:48What happened?
33:49What's this for?
33:50Shut up.
33:51What's going on?
33:52It's getting a six.
33:54Tampered.
33:55You want to walk sexist.
33:57I want to do whatever's going to help the house win.
33:59A part of me wants to walk sex iron because it's an easy win.
34:03I got it.
34:04Put it on me.
34:05Okay.
34:06The next celebrity is Sex Appeal.
34:16Don't kiss me.
34:17Goddamn.
34:18Patti is fucking selling it right now.
34:20And we're all screaming and shouting the chant.
34:22And I think it just lit a fire in her because she's carrying.
34:33I'm better.
34:34Better.
34:35Better.
34:36Better.
34:37Better.
34:38I'm better.
34:39Don't get slapped.
34:40Am I going to go alone?
34:41Everybody can trust me with the lighting.
34:42You won't be loud.
34:43You won't be loud.
34:44Don't get slapped.
34:45Goddamn.
34:46Lorenzo's doing a really, really, really great job tonight on the floor.
34:49You know, this is his first time ever, like, walking anything.
34:52And he's doing a really great job.
34:55Wow.
34:56Like, who is this person?
34:58Like, this whole new personality I haven't really seen before.
35:03Don't get slapped.
35:04Goddamn.
35:08All right, let's go.
35:09You stand with him.
35:10He need a mic.
35:13I know I walk as a slam, but I am a beefcake in disguise.
35:18What you say?
35:22The room is gagging right now.
35:24And the girls are in a fucking ditz.
35:28Who's a beefcake?
35:29Beefcake.
35:30I'm not playing with you.
35:31Wow.
35:32Sorry, y'all.
35:33All right.
35:34Beefcake.
35:35Fuck out of here.
35:38No, he's not.
35:39He didn't come out as that.
35:40Wow.
35:41He did not come out as that.
35:42Get yourself.
35:43Fuck out of here.
35:44When Lorenzo took the mic and said he's a beefcake,
35:46I just looked at him like he had eight fucking heads
35:48because it's like fucking a crime in ballroom.
35:51Like, that's illegal.
35:52And I know that was Yousef's doing.
35:54That man did not come out as no beefcake.
35:57Get yourself.
35:58My house is being tried, and my voice needs to be heard.
36:02He came out as a slam.
36:04You know what balls give.
36:05They return you on the mic at the function, on the category.
36:08No.
36:09Get yourself.
36:10No one has ever done that at a bar.
36:12Yes, they do.
36:13Yes, they have.
36:14Yes, they have.
36:15And, of course, Brooklyn is talking shit and popping off
36:18and mad about something.
36:20It's just naturally her.
36:21I'm sorry, but I'm not.
36:23I'm over it because, like, this is supposed to be a mock ball.
36:26This isn't supposed to be a rigged mock ball.
36:28The girls have switched houses at function.
36:31That was years ago.
36:35He did not come out as that.
36:36Get yourself.
36:37Don't y'all fucking try it.
36:38Get yourself.
36:39Don't y'all fucking try it.
36:40Get yourself.
36:41Y'all fucking trying it.
36:42Lorenzo is a beefcake, and AJ is a leopard.
36:46You know what that means?
36:47They're going to have to battle it out on the floor.
36:50Let's go.
36:51Right now.
36:52Let's go.
36:53I'm mad at Lorenzo for sex appeal.
36:55I feel a little bad because I'm going to eat him alive.
37:04AJ's cute, but my baby's fine as wine.
37:08Make no mistake about it.
37:09He definitely is my vote.
37:15Wait.
37:16Wait.
37:17Wait.
37:19All right.
37:22He feels good.
37:23That's how you fucking do it.
37:25I'm so proud of you.
37:28That's how you do it.
37:29I'm not a dude now.
37:33Tell him.
37:36Did you see that?
37:37Although I won the battle, Exotic is the only one that votes for Lorenzo.
37:42This is clearly telling you that he's playing politics.
37:46I'm gagging.
37:47Welcome to Old School Ballroom.
37:49That is fierce.
37:50Welcome to Mox Ballroom.
37:52That is fierce.
37:53Welcome to it.
37:54That is fierce.
37:55Barbara Valentino.
37:56That is fierce.
37:57Barbara Bush.
37:58That is fierce.
37:59This is an opportunity for me to have a conversation about respect
38:02and how I feel that she needs to handle me.
38:04I'm having a lot of fun, and you know I love you and shit.
38:07But, like, you don't have respect for me.
38:10Like, after the dinner, they was like,
38:11she had her hand on your face and shit like that.
38:13At.
38:14At.
38:15It's not an at.
38:16No, it is an at.
38:17No, it's not an at.
38:18I always chalk it up to, like, she being young.
38:20But, like, that kind of respect should just be automatic.
38:22I am your father.
38:24And, like, I don't want you to talk to me crazy.
38:26I don't want you to handle me crazy, especially in front of people.
38:29I did feel like after dinner I was being attacked
38:31because you were being really reprimanding for taking AJ
38:35and, you know, bringing him to a Kiki Bowl after him being your prospect.
38:39So I do apologize for that.
38:40Apology shouldn't come with all the extra rah-rah.
38:42Brooklyn is basically trying to justify.
38:45But I want to let you know, Brooklyn, you not going to do that shit with me.
38:48You wasn't letting me talk.
38:49I felt like you were attacking me.
38:51Let me finish. Let me finish.
38:52The only thing that you should have said.
38:53Oh, my gosh.
38:54No, no, no.
38:55Let me finish.
38:56I understand that.
38:57But the only thing that you should have said at that moment was,
38:58I'm sorry.
38:59That was it.
39:00I felt like I was being attacked.
39:01I felt like I couldn't get any of my words out.
39:03And then I was dealing with Roz not minding his business on the side,
39:05which I always deal with.
39:06And I don't like when Roz does not mind his business with me
39:09because he does not do that with anybody else.
39:11But you need to deal with him in that situation.
39:13But when I'm talking to you, Roz, please leave.
39:15Oh.
39:16Please go.
39:20It's about the respect.
39:21You puffed your chest, your motherfucking pride.
39:24I said no.
39:25I don't have a problem with being reprimanded.
39:29But when people are not minding their business on the side,
39:31then I get a certain way.
39:33I don't like that.
39:34I've never liked that ever in my life.
39:36But if you don't have a clear understanding on how to respect me.
39:38No, I do, but I really feel like, again, you're not hearing what I'm saying.
39:40You're talking about Roz.
39:41I'm literally telling you why I was acting the way I was acting.
39:44Honestly, I'm just ready to go home right now.
39:47I didn't come to the mock war for this.
39:49Like, this is crazy.
39:50I heard you say, yeah, goodbye.
39:53Goodbye.
39:54Don't walk away, girl.
39:56Like, where are you going?
39:57You need to stand and handle your shit and be a woman.
40:02This is not how I expected our conversation to go,
40:05especially at my birthday party.
40:07Hey, friend.
40:08How are you?
40:09You know I let you beat me tonight.
40:11Is that what you did?
40:12No, you did your thing.
40:14I ain't gonna lie.
40:15I appreciate it.
40:16I had fun tonight.
40:17You beat me, but I had fun.
40:20I think you've won a little bit in life.
40:22You've got exotics.
40:24Yeah, I mean, you won the battle.
40:25I won the war.
40:26I don't know if it's a war.
40:27I'm just trying to, you know, cheer you up.
40:28Make me feel better?
40:29No, I'm kidding.
40:30No, I think it's clear that he loves you and cares a lot about you.
40:34I always want the best for him, and he said he loves you, and I'm cool with that.
40:38I appreciate that.
40:39Yeah, I'm happy for you guys.
40:40But don't fuck up, because I'll be there to sleep on up.
40:43No, I'll be watching you, too.
40:44Don't you worry.
40:45I'm sure you will be.
40:46Uh-huh.
40:47Come on, let's have a drink.
40:48Good job.
40:49You gonna buy me a drink for losing?
40:50Come on.
40:51I need to be cheered up.
40:53Okay?
40:54Yeah.
40:55Hey, baby, you wanna need my help?
40:58You wanna be a good boy?
40:59You wanna be a good boy?
41:00You wanna be a good boy?
41:02Woo!
41:03Hey!
41:04Hey!
41:05Hey!
41:06Hey!
41:07You wanna be a good boy?
41:08Come and get it!
41:09Woo-woo!
41:10Next battle!
41:12Yeah!
41:13Yeah!
41:16Squeeze the butt!
41:17Yeah!
41:18Squeeze the butt!
41:19Yeah!
41:20Yeah!
41:21That's so cute.
41:23Ow!
41:25Ten, a couple, a more.
41:27Ten, a couple, a more.
41:29Ten, a couple, a more.
41:31Ten, a couple, a more.
41:33Ten, a couple, a more.
41:35Four.
41:37Four, five.
41:39Four, five.
41:41And fifteen
41:43hundred dollars.
41:45Fifteen.
41:47T-pittings.
41:49What?
41:51So, of course,
41:53we in one. It's my birthday, and I cry
41:55if I want to.
41:57I'm not feeling like
41:59Yusef. Like, no shame.
42:01I'm perfectly fine with getting in trouble for something I did.
42:03I'm totally fine with being reprimanded.
42:05But when people are on the side, not minding
42:07their business and putting their two cents in
42:09when someone is reprimanding me of a
42:11higher stature than them,
42:13I don't feel like they should have nothing to say to me.
42:15Girl, you need to relax.
42:17Tati, I could talk to you
42:19for hours. I can tell you how I feel. You can
42:21tell me how you feel. We have a
42:23respect. Me, you done been through some shit.
42:25You never popped your chest up at me. You never felt like I was
42:27attacking you. It's the disrespect.
42:29I feel like when I speak to Brooklyn,
42:31she ready.
42:33It just comes with a part of growing up.
42:35But Roz doesn't mind his business. See, this is the shit I'm talking about.
42:37No, because... This is what I'm talking about.
42:39Yusef!
42:41Yo, she ain't gonna be happy until I fucking...
42:43Yusef! Oh, my God. Are you fucking kidding me right now?
42:45Yo, because I swear to God, like...
42:47I'm over you right now. I don't give two fucks. I'm over you.
42:49Girl, get
42:51away from me. If the house wants you,
42:53they can have you. Bitch me, I'm done.
42:55But if you don't want me here, I'll leave. I don't want you.
42:57We're done. Yusef. I am
42:59one of the greatest things
43:01that happened to the house of Mugler
43:03since the dawn of fucking time.
43:05If I leave,
43:07everyone will be gagging.
43:11Happy birthday
43:13to you.
43:15Happy birthday
43:17to you.
43:21I'm so fucking disappointed right now.
43:23But when it comes to Miyake Mugler,
43:25it's about respect, it's about family,
43:27it's about support. But until
43:29she figures that out,
43:31I don't see a place for her here.
43:33No!
43:35No!
44:03No!
44:33No!
