SPEAKERS
Dylan Mulvaney, Caller, Ronald young Jr., Lemonada, Sherry Cola, Speaker 1
Dylan Mulvaney 01:34
Welcome back to the Dylan Hour. I’m your host, Dylan. I hope this is an okay time, because I’m feeling very conflicted if I am a good girl or a bad girl, and I kind of dressed as what I thought was a bad girl, as a throwback to my 16 year old self, because when I was 16 years old, there was this, like, really expensive boutique in San Diego where I couldn’t afford to shop there, like some of the other like, really Richie, Richie Girls, but they would let me clean the store after hours, and I would get $10 in store credit to buy certain items from the store. And this was one of the shirts that I purchased with my store credit. And I thought it made me a bad girl, because I obviously thought this was like a punk band or something really edgy, was really gonna show, like, who I was, as the bad girl that I wanted to be. And when I got home, I’m, like, walking around the house, you know, my dad’s like, what’s up with the shirt? And I was like, oh, nothing. And he was like, you know who that is, right? And I was like, No. And he’s like, that’s Ricky Martin. And I was like, what? And he’s like, that’s a very gay man. And so I don’t think that this shirt had the effect that I thought it was gonna have, but Ricky Martin is on my shirt today, and I haven’t worn this in probably 10 years, but I busted it out for our guest, because I think this is someone who isn’t afraid to get a little dirty, be a little bad, but also has the good girl edge too to her, and she is multi hyphen of our dreams, stand up, comedian, actress, voiceover artist. She does it all. And a friend that we got to host or not host, but announce for an award thing a few months ago, which we’ll talk about. Everyone give it up for Sherry Cola.
Sherry Cola 03:20
What the rumors are true. Okay, all the rumors, are true.
Dylan Mulvaney 03:25
Are you cherry? Do you feel like a good girl or bad girl?
Sherry Cola 03:27
A little bit of both. Just get you a girl who is a true buy. You know what I mean first?
Dylan Mulvaney 03:32
Well, You’re looking very femme today.
Sherry Cola 03:34
Honey, the range.
Dylan Mulvaney 03:36
The range good. It’s really good.
Sherry Cola 03:39
I will go from a lemon to a passion fruit, and a blink of an eye.
Dylan Mulvaney 03:44
And we are going to be sipping on everyone, oh, a little drink that we’re calling the good girls, staying good, because it’s a club soda with lime.
Sherry Cola 03:56
Just for a little combination, just for a little carbonation. Goosebumps,
Dylan Mulvaney 04:00
You know, get erect and so you are not drinking right now.
Sherry Cola 04:04
I’ve been off of alcohol. What a good girl, shockingly, tell us for like, seven months. Okay, when did this start? So I’m putting it down. That is very delicious. Oh, that’s my brand of honey water. Is that? Oh, Megan, you I did yourself just like I requested.
Dylan Mulvaney 04:19
I we needed. It needs a brand partnership. Me and you, yeah, Super Bowl.
Sherry Cola 04:23
Okay, I’m curious. When you’re adding events.
Dylan Mulvaney 04:26
Yeah, what do you do with this?
Sherry Cola 04:27
Do you actually take it and squeeze it? She falls out every time. I always just, just, okay. Well, I mean, if I’m feeling risky, I’ll do the one now, I’ll rim it. I’ll go 361 I will be on the turntables, ones and twos, you know, U turns doing donuts, and then I just drop.
Dylan Mulvaney 04:42
Okay, but seven months ago.
Sherry Cola 04:44
Seven months ago.
Dylan Mulvaney 04:46
My story started seven months ago when.
Sherry Cola 04:49
No but my girlfriend and I gave it up for Lent, just to have a self challenge, and we just kept going.
Dylan Mulvaney 04:54
And was lent a normal thing for you to take part in.
Sherry Cola 04:58
You know, I love trying. Things, yeah, yeah. My girlfriend grew up Catholic. I mean, she yeah.
Dylan Mulvaney 05:05
This was her first lent ever.
Sherry Cola 05:07
No, because I think Lent, yeah, I guess, uh, at least full commitment, okay, um, and we just decided, why not?
Dylan Mulvaney 05:17
And you never, you never. You know, it’s only 40 days, right, right? No one told you I saw the movie Josh.
Sherry Cola 05:22
Awesome, and drinking vodka right now, we could, we could be blacked out. You could be holding my hair.
Dylan Mulvaney 05:27
But you went, you’re showing God I am that you love him the most.
Sherry Cola 05:30
Yeah, I said, let’s go over time, way over time. This is like, Triple, double, quadruple, all that stuff and.
Dylan Mulvaney 05:37
But you look hot, and so it’s obviously paying off. Do you feel good?
Sherry Cola 05:41
Yes? Because, you know, usually when I’m drunk, I’m ordering Taco Bell at midnight, right?
Dylan Mulvaney 05:45
Or period, but, and then you go to, oh, this is actually going to be one of my we’re doing, gonna do bitter and sweet a week. My bitter is that, I think I’ve been saying yes to too many events. And Honey, we’re on the same page. I think we’re I think it’s getting a little much, but I usually, sometimes, because of my anxiety, I’ll go and I, like, definitely have a cocktail and, like, a Tuesday, and then I wake up not feeling that great, and so you don’t have that now.
Sherry Cola 06:12
I gotta say that’s one of the pros of this, uh, non alcohol journey. I’ll be back, by the way, just […] you will be shaking and stirring uh, watch what happens.
Dylan Mulvaney 06:28
Yeah, bartender, bitch. Oh, that could be, that’s a good pitch. Actually, I think Andy should have Sherry on properly to have her first drink in a matter of months. And just and then I behind the bar making ever clear shots, inebriation.
Sherry Cola 06:42
Uh, first of all, I’m already a lightweight, so me too on live television. Cheapest date, that’s gonna be, uh something, talking about Real Housewives, but I yeah, so shockingly, that’s my Word of the Week. Shockingly, I don’t miss it, hmm. The solidarity is nice.
Dylan Mulvaney 07:01
So if you feel awkward at an event and you’re together, it’s like, oh, well, let’s just go home.
Sherry Cola 07:05
Well, here’s the thing, you know, my friend is launching a wine and there’s gonna be an event to celebrate. And I told myself, I’m like, Okay, I’ll have a glass of wine because, you know, it’s a big moment for her. And you know, it’s not like I’m off off alcohol. Like, I’ll do it. But then I keep thinking about, I’m like, I don’t know, because I’m off alcohol. And then it’s like, if you’re abstinent, they’re not gonna say, like, just have sex once. Well, I can go back to being abstinent. I mean, of course, you know it all depends, case by case. But I’m starting to think, like, maybe I won’t have the glass of wine.
Dylan Mulvaney 07:39
Speaking of abstinence, I the last time I partake or partook in Lent was I gave up touching myself for 40 days.
Ronald young Jr. 07:49
That’s good.
Dylan Mulvaney 07:49
And on the 41st day, I called up a guy I was in college, and I went to his house, and it it wasn’t as good as I thought it was going it actually wasn’t. It was bad. Yeah, what was your go to?
Sherry Cola 08:07
I love an Aperol Spritz.
Dylan Mulvaney 08:10
Oh, us in Italy, girl, I’m like, that could be back. That’s where you break it. It’s white lotus, baby.
Sherry Cola 08:16
It’s only if I’m overseas, you know, in the middle of a murder mystery. That’s when I when you said.
Dylan Mulvaney 08:23
Again, you have to, you know, how about your bitter and sweet of the week? What’s the high and low Sherry cola?
Sherry Cola 08:30
That’s a bitter you know, I think I’m with you on us being yes women and we just refuse to sit at home in silence.
Dylan Mulvaney 08:38
But you know what I realized, too, when we go to these events, that, like people won awards at you go, those people didn’t go to a certain a lot of events so that they could win that award and do something that that equaled award worthiness. And yet, here I am at all these and I was like, wow, I really gotta go probably do something to to make sense of me being here.
Sherry Cola 09:00
No, you know what? Being there is inspiring. Yes, one, I never regret going ever.
Dylan Mulvaney 09:06
Yes, inspirational speaker, go.
Sherry Cola 09:08
Three, my voice, absolutely, I’m so emotional right now. Three, I need to remember that a lot of people are not invited, and we are somebody, is what I’m saying to you.
Dylan Mulvaney 09:24
And it’s so we’re we should be lucky that we’re there, not lucky.
Sherry Cola 09:27
But it’s like, I guess it’s nice to enjoy it. Yeah, you know what I mean. Good time. I do agree that we need to balance, like, how many and the food’s pretty good. I went to one that has Shake Shack. But also I couldn’t I was wearing like a white like, I was like, this is gonna , yeah, get too saucy for my own good. But, yeah, I’m learning that. But the bitter that maybe you’re bitter, I think we have the same bitter, not that I’m mad about it. I just need to learn to perhaps, pick and choose. You know. Yeah, because I don’t know how to use my diaphragm, like you, in terms of the vocal ability. So I will lose my voice every night. I’m a Talking Machine. We don’t show the loud music. No, I’m addicted the catch ups and the hearts are hearts.
Dylan Mulvaney 10:13
I know.
Sherry Cola 10:14
Well, so we tea is on blast.
Dylan Mulvaney 10:16
And the content, yeah, the content, well, it’s funny, because I feel like sometimes I get invited to these events as, like, the Tiktok girl, sure, and they think they’re gonna get a Tiktok out of me, but I’m like, Honey, I don’t know if this is really the time and place I do. You have any like, shame and like, whipping it out for like, a funny moment?
Sherry Cola 10:37
Well, I don’t necessarily have that, the pressure of that obligation, though.
Dylan Mulvaney 10:42
They’re not well, because let’s talk your tick tock presence right now. What’s going on?
Sherry Cola 10:45
I don’t really have one except one viral video, 11 million views. That’s pretty good, right? That’s amazing. And it’s because not an easy thing. My soul sister Vanessa Michaels said, you have to put this on tick tock. I was like, fine. My girlfriend and I were at a wedding. Okay, so my blazer broke. All the buttons are off, and this is like family right at this wedding. So I’m just open bra, just out, and we go do that 360 spinny camera thing. Photo op, so my girlfriend, oh, I’m sorry. I am bought at the minutes after we caught the bouquet together. Okay, so this was like the night of life, seemingly. And so we’re doing this thing, and I hop off the platform before it’s over. So that camera thing is swinging 19 miles per hour. And so I hop off, and immediately I see it, because I’m honestly quick as a cat, I move my foot back up, completely avoided slaughtering my slattering, shattering Shin, shattering your shin. And the best part is caught on video, right? So not only do we have the slow mo thing of me like we also have a home girl from high school, Stephanie on the sidelines, recording the BTS. So of me.
Dylan Mulvaney 12:03
You have like influencers in the wild the real thing.
Sherry Cola 12:07
Goodness, I’m an athlete first, yeah, is what this video.
Dylan Mulvaney 12:11
I wish I could as a trans woman, it just doesn’t feel like the time for that. So I have to let you be the athlete in the room.
Sherry Cola 12:17
No, but truly, I love sports. Can we get that out of the way. I know everyone’s wondering. I played in a charity basketball game last year. I could not move my body afterwards. I because you was so into, no, I was so sore. I didn’t do anything during the game. I just ran back and forth, really. Yeah, I could not move. It hurt so bad.
Dylan Mulvaney 12:37
But did you contribute to, like, the win?
Sherry Cola 12:39
I did a pass. That was beneficial. Excellent. Yeah, this is really all I did. And I wouldn’t my ponytail a few times.
Dylan Mulvaney 12:46
Is it this pony that you have in right now?
Sherry Cola 12:48
The hair is real so.
Dylan Mulvaney 12:49
Are you serious?
Sherry Cola 12:50
So are the teeth.
Dylan Mulvaney 12:51
Shot up? Can you believe? Really good, real teeth, fake hair, to the point
Sherry Cola 12:57
though, where I am on the toilet, and it’s like, risky. Oh, my
Dylan Mulvaney 13:01
God. It’s like, down. I have to, like, you know, any plans to cut her? I don’t want you
Sherry Cola 13:09
- It’s the bullshit thing of like, I’m waiting for a reason. Well, same
Dylan Mulvaney 13:13
thing for drinking. So there’s gonna be a day when you
Sherry Cola 13:17
have an a line with a 40 hours in my.
Dylan Mulvaney 13:20
Yes, I’m just like, wow, I can’t wait for that. Okay, what’s your sweet?
Sherry Cola 13:25
We have the same bitter, though. So let’s go. Okay, let’s talk about that. The sweet Yesterday, I went to Cheesecake Factory with my family. Yeah, so my mom’s brother’s daughter, aka my cousin.
Dylan Mulvaney 13:43
Wow, we got there.
Sherry Cola 13:46
The technical term her and her husband came from China to visit, but yeah, just like kind of having a wholesome moment, and they’re proud of you, yeah? And so it was my mom, my mom’s man friend. His mom live here? Yes, okay, I grew up here.
Dylan Mulvaney 14:00
Oh, Okay, excellent. Oh, hi everyone. Sherry Cola is from Los Angeles.
Sherry Cola 14:05
I was born in Shanghai, China tea and on God and so that’s where my cousins are visiting from. And I went a year ago as well to visit. It’s the coolest Chinese city. I said, formed over there. No honey. I have gone to comedy shows. There bucket list, I know put it.
Dylan Mulvaney 14:22
What am I doing? I’m really into manifestation vision board. So by the end, we’re gonna have a ton of things, probably, that we want to put on it.
Sherry Cola 14:28
I’m dying too, because every single time I’m with my mom’s friends and I’m just speaking in Shanghainese, yeah, the crowd goes wild.
Dylan Mulvaney 14:35
They go crazy.
Sherry Cola 14:36
I am SO FUNNY In Shanghainese, maybe even funnier. Well, we’re gonna go test it out in a world tour.
Dylan Mulvaney 14:41
You know, how about maybe I also want to put on my vision board going to Cheesecake Factory with you and but maybe that’s the day you drink. Who knows? Because that’s what’s crazy. There is that the portions, for those of I mean, who wouldn’t know what Cheesecake Factory portions look like? But if you don’t. Don’t even the drinks are just about 10 times the size of a normal.
Sherry Cola 15:03
Eating and drinking at Cheesecake Factory is spring break.
Dylan Mulvaney 15:06
That’s a sport. That’s an that’s weekend. Yeah, that’s as a trans woman, I do feel comfortable exercising my sport at.
Sherry Cola 15:16
The menu alone will keep you there for eight hours, because it is, it is the length of Prisoner of Azkaban, and then by the time that.
Dylan Mulvaney 15:22
You get to dessert, you can’t even get the cheesecake. Do they even have cheesecake?
Sherry Cola 15:27
Yes, no, especially they rebranded. They’re just called the factory. No sweet tooth, yes.
Dylan Mulvaney 15:34
No chocolate, only sour.
Sherry Cola 15:37
Interesting.
Dylan Mulvaney 15:38
No fruit ever, fruit, no fruit ever.
Sherry Cola 15:40
I don’t, fruit recreationally, although I respect her.
Dylan Mulvaney 15:44
Okay, I do just eat her, like, like, professionally, biblically.
Sherry Cola 15:48
Spiritually and clitorally, yes, oh, speaking, okay, merch, I will eat fruit, but never voluntarily. What is up with that?
Dylan Mulvaney 16:01
I don’t know. I really think that it’s we don’t need to put and I don’t eat vegetables either, which is another kind of I fuck with vegetables. Okay, see, but you, is it true that you’re you grew up in a family that like, like, had a lot of great food, and like was part of your then food.
Sherry Cola 16:17
I eat everything.
Dylan Mulvaney 16:18
Yes, and your name, Sherry Cola didn’t that come from.
Sherry Cola 16:22
Yes. I was making a Yelp account in like 2011 I asked my friend what my username should be. I wanted to be food related, yes. And she said, What about Sherry Cola? And here we are. And that’s now, what, whatever.
Dylan Mulvaney 16:34
My tramp stamp yeah.
Sherry Cola 16:36
Do you really no?
Dylan Mulvaney 16:37
Oh, should you no? But tramp stamps are making a huge comeback. Alex Earl really wants to get one.
Sherry Cola 16:43
But what kind like are we talking like, you know, a starry night, or like words? I
Dylan Mulvaney 16:47
think I’d want like a little, maybe, like a frog in a bathtub holding like an umbrella.
Sherry Cola 16:54
I love that. No, that makes me want to get the salt girl with the umbrella.
Dylan Mulvaney 16:58
Oh, like the little she’s in the rain or, no, I think I’m confusing the copper tone baby with the the dog. And then what if we just made her one person? So it’s She’s their salt is raining on this poor girl that’s having her little diaper pulled by a dog on the beach.
Sherry Cola 17:14
Frog and eat it too.
Dylan Mulvaney 17:15
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Sherry Cola 17:16
I have had frog legs. Have you speaking of Chinese gnarly stuff.
Dylan Mulvaney 17:25
What’s your favorite gnarly food?
Sherry Cola 17:28
Pig intestines?
Dylan Mulvaney 17:29
Ooh.
Sherry Cola 17:30
Stop talking about every podcast.
Dylan Mulvaney 17:33
I meant is that like drink every like It’s like every time drink, every single time you hear pig intestines on cherry cola. Guess quite that game.
Dylan Mulvaney 19:33
As the bad girls that we are. What does like a bad girl fight? Have you ever been in a fight before?
Sherry Cola 19:48
I’ve been punched in the face? Okay, same by one of your producers.
Dylan Mulvaney 19:53
Just actually, right before this just, it’s a kink. And now we’re gonna keep round two now.
Sherry Cola 19:58
No, it was who? Was what year, maybe 2009, um, can’t remember half of that year.
Dylan Mulvaney 20:04
For sure.
Sherry Cola 20:05
I used to dabble in Old Town, Pasadena. That’s where I went out when I first turned 21 but it was just like it was at volcano, the restaurant, but there was a bar in the back of the Pasadena one, essentially, was just like drunk packed like sardines, dance floor situation, I was making out with this random dude named Peter, and a few of his friends were standing next to him. So this girl passes by, and I was feeling liquid courage. I was feeling, you know, power Toppy, and I pushed her, I think she kind of knocked into me, but it wasn’t intentional at all. And then suddenly I’m just swinging for no reason. This is why I don’t drink anymore. I’m swinging, I’m swinging, and suddenly I’m getting nothing but air. And then she just pops me. I fall back, Peter and his friends catch me before I hit the floor. Peter, I owe him money. And I come back, and the girls know where to be found, and I see a girl outside who I thought was the the puncher, so I pushed her. This is why I don’t drink anymore. I was like, 19, probably, but, um, yeah, it wasn’t her, it wasn’t her. So then I got kicked out, and then we go to King taco, my other friend gets punched in the face there.
Dylan Mulvaney 21:23
Wow, must been like a full moon.
Sherry Cola 21:27
Listen, that is outrageous.
Dylan Mulvaney 21:30
Was that the first and last time that you got punched?
Sherry Cola 21:33
Yes.
Dylan Mulvaney 21:33
Okay, I know now I got punched. Have you heard of del topia?
Sherry Cola 21:37
No.
Dylan Mulvaney 21:38
So it was floatopia before in Santa Barbara, where, like, 1000s of people, like, crowd the beach, like college kids, that kind of sounds familiar, but then they, I think they made like a crazy movie on it, and then, but then the beach got so destroyed that they had to take it to land. And so it was, like, on, like, frat row. And so I was 16, and me and my friend Lily, like, drove up there. And, like, I think we had, like, friends or something that we’re meeting. No, maybe I was 15, and we were like, at one of these, like, parties, like, you know, frat guy, and this guy goes, you gay? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, you gay? And like, yeah. And then he goes, pop, and just pops me. And then I sank to the floor, and, oh, this is, actually, is this one sad? Twice I go, I’m like, getting such a kick out of myself right now. And then I’m like, Oh, wait, this is a hate crime. No, just, I got one punch and then. But talk about double trouble. Because we’re like, Lily’s, like, Everyone clear, you know, like, really, just doing the ally ship, and then she throws me on the train the Amtrak, to get us back down south to LA and a guy on the the the train looks back at me and goes, you know, fucking fairy. And I was like, oh my god, what is going on today? It’s something about it’s like was in the water. It might, what if it was the same day that was your 21st birthday?
Sherry Cola 22:57
No, it wasn’t the same day 21st was a whole nother. I mean, listen, good girls gone bad.
Dylan Mulvaney 23:04
I still was kind of a good girl in that moment. You were a little more bad.
Sherry Cola 23:07
No, I did rebellious shit. But at the core, I’m good.
Dylan Mulvaney 23:12
I think so too.
Sherry Cola 23:13
You know what I’m saying?
Dylan Mulvaney 23:13
Yeah, but I tried to cosplay as a bad girl, is what I think I tried to do.
Sherry Cola 23:18
But I was researching for a role yes in Bad girlism, in Bad girlism. I I’m sorry that happened to you. Thank you. Foremost, he said you get twice you gay.
Dylan Mulvaney 23:30
Yes, like, just to confer. I mean, who knew? I don’t think anyone was home, but I, I just, I think, all in response, yeah, but it was also like, I mean, that was what maybe like 12 years ago and like that, I still feel like homophobia was already out of like kind of fashion by then, and unfortunately, and there’s like, making a comeback all of a sudden, people fucking suck, but you’re in your like, bisexual like awakening area, right?
Sherry Cola 23:54
We’re thriving in the bisexuality. Always been bisexual, but, yeah, just, you know, I mean, not to get super deep, but when I booked the role of Alice on good trouble in 2018 I came out to my mom because this character that was queer and, you know, could potentially be a role model, I thought I had to, you know, spread my wings IRL and feel liberated in that way. So I had that way. So I had that conversation. Of course, the conversation was not overnight, but my mom has made so much progress since. And, you know, my girlfriend joined us at Cheesecake Factory, so life is good, but my point is, representation matters. Yeah, because I got the chance to be in this show and portray this story, my conversation just within the community has opened up so much well.
Dylan Mulvaney 24:42
And then on the the topic of, like, good trouble, did it feel good to be telling, like, a story and like, like making people think about a situation, especially with the LGBTQ community, of like, you were actually contributing something positive to like the world.
Sherry Cola 25:00
I mean, good trouble changed my life. It was such a blessing and such a victory, just career wise, because, you know, it was 88 episodes, very auspicious number okay, Chinese culture, we love the number eight. Oh yeah. Four, on the other hand, means death. So we’re always trying to avoid fours and go for the AIDS. All Chinese people do is try to avoid death.
Dylan Mulvaney 25:24
You know, really, yeah, how do you feel about death?
Sherry Cola 25:30
I’m putting it off.
Dylan Mulvaney 25:31
Yeah, I’m scared of death.
Sherry Cola 25:36
Definitely.
Dylan Mulvaney 25:37
I want to live forever. I just, I get so tired all the time, and I’m I think I’ve had so much fun already. Where are we on death? Where are we at? Where can I get it? Here’s the thing, temperature check on death.
Sherry Cola 25:51
Yeah, what’s the status on death? Still still happening. Still in, yeah, still in. Maybe always will be my girlfriend and I love each other so much that that’s when the thought of death makes us so sad. We’re like, oh, I want to do this forever.
Dylan Mulvaney 26:07
Oh, yeah, well, we got to talk about what a girl wants?
Sherry Cola 26:11
What I’m not warmed up, what a girl. I gotta stay here. What a let’s harmonize So Ashley park, you know, Ashley Park, obsessed with her joy. Ray my girl, my sister. I sent her a voice message yesterday, singing that beautiful song ruins. That is in the finale of season four of Emily in Paris. Because it’s been stuck in my head, yes. And I was like, I’m not bad, Ashley will always say, like you’re not bad, like we’re not bad.
Dylan Mulvaney 26:40
Okay, then let’s get let’s see. Um, I’m not assuming we’re about to make this segment everyone what a girl wants […] See, you know what you’re doing. I just one more time what a girl wants. I’m just driving. Hold it. Let’s hold out the one. Let’s […] hold out the wants. What a girl wants? See, I got nervous there. Maybe let’s just go on the note, what a girl wants, what a girl wants?
Dylan Mulvaney 27:18
Everyone back here at the Dylan hour, we’ve got what a girl wants. What do you want? Because I think I know what you want, and I know Broadway for you, because for me, for I think we do Chicago.
Sherry Cola 27:30
Whether it’s a musical, whether it’s a play, because I watched, Oh Mary peace, such a cold times I was in that audience.
Dylan Mulvaney 27:39
It was so crazy good, right?
Sherry Cola 27:41
It is unlike anything that exists.
Dylan Mulvaney 27:45
But would you rather be in a musical or play?
Sherry Cola 27:49
Well, will they, they let me into a musical? I do rap.
Dylan Mulvaney 27:53
Okay, that’s Hamilton, you could like play Hamilton. Honestly. I think Lin did an interview a couple years ago where he was like, I would love to see like, gender bending and stuff. And I think that this could be I love pitching stuff on the Dylan hour. I love making dreams happen.

Sherry Cola 28:25
Definitely something like Hamilton. Okay, not to be so you know top 40 about it, but

Dylan Mulvaney 29:13
Yeah, I was 2014 so that’s crazy. So we’ve been up for a lot of the same co set in blame is rolls on, but that’s the shock, that is shock. So I’m late, so you’re late, so you’re catching up.

I want to just be, I want to be in the background and go.
Sherry Cola 30:16
I would love to be down to do eight shows a week as a just as a cloud.
Dylan Mulvaney 30:23
A cloud, I know I always say tree in the back with that, I think, is there ever been a musical where someone has actually been a proper tree? No, I think they have the also, you said, What was your word was to this week was on? Shockingly, mine’s properly because I’m obsessed with British people, and they’re always like, is that a is that a proper tree, or is that a different kind of tree? I’m like, yeah, it’s a proper tree. I’m obsessed with proper we
Sherry Cola 30:47
Took the SATs. Wait, can you do an English accent? I have so many things I need to get back to, by the way, my God, book market.

Dylan Mulvaney 31:29
Well, I bought the her little Burberry chocolate suit is I bought her little outfit. And I’m realizing, like, maybe not as like, fashionable for a 27 year old as it is for a 12 year old.
Sherry Cola 31:40
I want to know where tie dye girl is today.
Dylan Mulvaney 31:42
Oh, from the camp.

Sherry Cola 32:28
My dad, my father, my birth, paternal figure. Dad was obsessed with Ricky Martin. With Ricky Martin growing up. Oh, so he’s gonna love this episode. I mean, listen, I think my my dad, you know, if we’re talking Kinsey scale, but anyway, he had a framed photo of Ricky on our wall. But my dad was also very into pop culture. We’re all immigrants. We came here, and my dad was like, let me just absorb my anything really take two. Let me watch. TRL, you know what I’m saying? Like that was what my dad mantra was when he woke up. Let me watch. TRL, and so I was just also into him. Enough, you know, the She Bangs and the, you know, limit la vida locas. And what’s another one from that era?
Dylan Mulvaney 33:17
Oh, what are his big Ricky Martin honeys.
Sherry Cola 33:21
Living La Vida Loca was the right, which is why I’m bilingual. Um, that’s, that is your bilingual, bisexual, because of Ricky Martin coastal soon, hopefully, when I would, you can hit I would, I would, no, but it gets better. So my dad just that’s a fact I knew okay, my dad loves Ricky Martin. Cut to me hosting the Critics Choice LGBTQ plus awards this past June. Yes, Ricky Martin presents to Abe Sylvia for palm Royale. I am backstage with Ricky Martin. My dad is there. I pull him for this opportunity. My dad meets Ricky Martin. No, this is my career achievement award. Is what I’m saying. That’s all he cared about. He guessed the first of all, I asked my dad. I’m like, Okay, it’s gonna be quick. Ricky has a heart out like it’s gonna be a very like backstage moment. Do you want me in the photo or not, the shot list needs to be clear, right? Yeah. He says, I want one by myself.
Dylan Mulvaney 34:26
And he was honest. And you, but.
Sherry Cola 34:28
I’m like, say less, yeah. So I’m holding my phone to get this photo of my dad and Ricky Martin, and because I do want to be involved in some way, shape form, I tell my makeup artist, Tammy, to just take a video of this interaction at the moment. So then Ricky, sweetie, I know I should put it on tick tock, so I see you’ve.
Dylan Mulvaney 34:49
Got friends that tell you to put on sleeping on Tiktok.
Sherry Cola 34:52
I don’t know. Here’s the thing. I know that I have the potential to go viral.
Dylan Mulvaney 34:56
You, you’re walking virality so exhausting, like. It’s but okay. But then so she’s taking the video.
Sherry Cola 35:02
And then Ricky sees her taking the video, and then she says, no, no, you get in. And so then I am I there is a photo of the three of us.
Dylan Mulvaney 35:08
Oh my god.
Sherry Cola 35:09

Dylan Mulvaney 35:09
And was Ricky lovely to you.
Sherry Cola 35:11
Oh, so lovely.
Dylan Mulvaney 35:11
See, that makes me feel really good about wearing a shirt. Now, maybe I should give you this shirt for also.
Sherry Cola 35:16
Dude, the studs in the heart formation. It came like that.
Dylan Mulvaney 35:22
It and that’s why it was so expensive at this legendary, really, the the little girl boutique that I got store credit at as a child. Twilight, Oh, honey, you brought up my trigger. My favorite trigger. Have I found you? What’s your relationship to Twilight?
Sherry Cola 35:37

Sherry Cola 35:46
Oh, I see Edward.
Dylan Mulvaney 35:48
Okay, I’m into Kristen Stewart now. Oh, of course.
Sherry Cola 35:51
Okay, you didn’t ask.
Dylan Mulvaney 35:52
Well, that’s what you had to you just had to go there because.
Sherry Cola 35:55
Case Stu was given, you know what?
Dylan Mulvaney 35:57
The dad, oh, Billy. Oh, my God.
Sherry Cola 36:01
That father the mustache, single handedly, keeping me bisexual.
Dylan Mulvaney 36:04
I think he’s hot.
Sherry Cola 36:07
I always thought he was too young, like he looks so young to be because obviously everyone playing teenagers is like an actual 42.
Dylan Mulvaney 36:14
Well, they weren’t, were they? No, they were actually Young. Then okay, if we’re talking and they dated, do you remember they were together?
Sherry Cola 36:21
Yes, if we’re going deep into the the lore, extended cast, yeah, Cam Gigan debt, is that his name, gigande burlesque, and also the OC, what was he? What character did he play? One of the vampires, bad vampires?
Dylan Mulvaney 36:36
Oh, yeah, I know you’re talking about now, good vampires. You’re a bad vampire.
Sherry Cola 36:42
No, I had to think about it.
Dylan Mulvaney 36:43
What’s your dream, sort of like acting scenario that maybe somebody wouldn’t traditionally put you in?
Sherry Cola 36:48
You know what in? Okay, when you say they wouldn’t traditionally put me in, is because they don’t traditionally see me in this light, right? So which is why I am working on my body and being taken seriously as someone who could be a superhero, who could be an Asian bisexual female James Bond, you know what I’m saying? Give me stunts.
Dylan Mulvaney 37:11
Oh, so you want to be kind of like, like, a little bit more like, masculine superhero. Or do you want to be like.
Speaker 1 37:17
No, I want to be like, I want to show the cleavage, but at the same time, I want to, you know, just so action See, even in the face, I still went comedy, it’s it’s internal, it’s internal.
Dylan Mulvaney 37:30
But so action category is kind of where you’d like to find yourself one day.
Sherry Cola 37:34
Action villain, like, just, just serious, sir.
Dylan Mulvaney 37:38
I just want to be on a jet ski with like, an explosion happening behind me, could you imagine?
Sherry Cola 37:44
And just riding away with no bother in the world?
Dylan Mulvaney 37:47
Yes. And then like, like, blown out hair, maybe jet ski? Have I jet skied? It’s the only thing that matters. It’s your only form of transportation. All sadness in this world. If we all just got 45 minutes on a jet ski in Bora? Bora daily? Yeah, well, no, yearly. Do you know how many jets daily would do jet ski? It would have billions. Have you jets daily? I have What’s your relationship to jet skiing? Enjoy love. Enjoy thoroughly.
Sherry Cola 38:13
Yeah. And I didn’t think I would. I recently went to Catalina Island for the first time ever. What you’ll learn is that I’m I appear worldly. Speak on it, I appear like a globetrotter.
Dylan Mulvaney 38:25
And you tagged Greece when you posted those Catalina photos.
Sherry Cola 38:28
One, two, Mamma mia, three. He knew Richmond. Three, New York in 2016 that was shockingly so there’s been some traveling. So what I’m saying is Catalina even like, grew up here, because a lot of my friends went to Catalina Island on field trips and stuff. You know, la, la, girl. Um.
Dylan Mulvaney 38:47
Oh, yeah, that. So that was close, yeah, but I never went out of, do you see the buffalo here? The identity of Buffalo, but we did rent a golf cart. It was for my girlfriend’s dad’s birthday. And I’m shocked. They just give people golf carts because we’re riding on, like, open cliffs. But was it you driving?
Sherry Cola 39:03
No.
Dylan Mulvaney 39:03
Okay.
Sherry Cola 39:04
But why? No, just because I couldn’t sound scared. I could never, because I couldn’t be responsible. I’d rather go down.
Dylan Mulvaney 39:11
Than what about in good trouble? For example, did you get to do any crazy shit that felt actiony?
Sherry Cola 39:16
Oh, you know what? First of all, I’m so grateful for good trouble, because it was categorized as a drama. So I think some of my most powerful work as an actress was in season four of good trouble. Tell us the Margaret was in that season, as you know, she was in season three, but the storyline was kind of an extension, because I go on tour with her in the show, and then I get assaulted after a show, and it was this, like unpacking this trauma, yeah, crying every episode. And, um, you know, kind of.
Dylan Mulvaney 39:48
And you’d come from the stand up world before that.
Sherry Cola 39:50
Yes, and I mean, it was just so layered, but it felt so liberating to express through the craft. Because I’d had also been, like, at a rock bottom, kind of personal, okay, chapter in my life. So filming it, yes, okay, I was like, in a in a heartbreak scenario during this time, and the fact that I went to work and just cried every day, it was really therapeutic, along with going to therapy IRL, but, um, yeah, it’s buy one, get one free therapy.
Dylan Mulvaney 40:25
But essentially So, but you were doing a lot of trauma stuff. Like, what
Sherry Cola 40:29
I’m saying is, like the my dramatic, uh, skills on camera, I didn’t even know I had until good trouble, which is why, you know, your dreams are really limitless. You know, like before, when I was doing radio, like that was the dream, like not even being on camera, and then I do comedy, you know, stand up, and then I do comedic TV shows, and then now I’m doing dramatic stuff, and then, you know, yada yada yada. So I think you’re so capable. And it’s society that kind of puts you in a box, or, you know, wants you to settle for the bare minimum, and then you you like, stretch that.
Dylan Mulvaney 41:07
This is your TED talk.
Sherry Cola 41:08
I just went vaginal a little bit because I went immediately dilation.
Dylan Mulvaney 41:13
Anal if you’re getting really crazy.
Dylan Mulvaney 41:29
You know what? I just realized I didn’t say my what a girl wants. Do you know what I want? I want it. I want there to be one universal bridesmaid dress that we all wear for every single wedding. And so that you just you got the dress on, we all have gotten we’re doing the same colors. Do you? Have you been a bridesmaid before?
Sherry Cola 42:52
I’ve been a maid of honor? And listen, I have first ad energy.
Dylan Mulvaney 42:57
So you, they was, became naturally.
Sherry Cola 42:59
Too, naturally. Uh, but in your were you like doing like, all sorts. It was during Joy Ride. Shortcomings was coming. You delivered. I was filming good trouble as well season five, and I delivered. I fully delivered. But that’s my girl, Christine. She literally has been my best friend. We met in seventh grade, so I’ll do anything for her. And I showed up and I did the damn thing.
Dylan Mulvaney 43:24
I feel like they keep adding more and more levels of things that need to be done.
Sherry Cola 43:28
Here’s the thing, we’ve been a part of enough bachelorette weekends and bridal parties and whatnots that my girlfriend and I are like, maybe we shouldn’t do that. Like, let’s just either plan it ourselves or, like, because it is, it’s also a lot of money for other people to spend as well.
Dylan Mulvaney 43:48
Well, yes, yeah, dress and, um, in weddings in general. But I, I’m either doing big sir or the plaza. Where do you know where your wedding is going to be at? No, I don’t know who, what I’m going to do it with shockingly.
Sherry Cola 43:59
I don’t you, don’t do you like, there’s an idea I think, breezy, oh yeah, is […] no see, that’s why I stay.
Dylan Mulvaney 44:15
So we’re gonna find you a nice baritone role on Broadway. It’s giving us Lacroix. You know what I’m saying. Speaking of, do you need a little sip? Actually, I do you need? I was actually curious the cola piece of your name as well. You drink a lot of coke.
Sherry Cola 44:28
I am a Diet Coke, girly, Cherry Coke, girly and Coca Cola proper. Love that stuff in the glass bottle.
Dylan Mulvaney 44:40
They got to get you a brand deal.
Sherry Cola 44:42
I’m trying, honey. When they hit me with the cease and desist, that’s how you know I made it.
Dylan Mulvaney 44:46
Well and the fact that they haven’t already, it’s, it’s good, it’s, good trouble, I gotta step my game up. No, that means that they’re.
Sherry Cola 44:56
Okay, so we’ve.
Dylan Mulvaney 44:58
We’ve shared, what’s that? But I think we were now going into our overshare don’t care section of the Dylan hour. This is a lightning round of a few questions, and we’re gonna put a timer behind us, and it’s good, well, not literally, yeah, but it’s gonna be going and are you ready? I’m gonna ask you things.
Sherry Cola 45:21
actually I needed to burp. That’s some strong is that to Bucha? To Bucha hits like a cigarette.

Dylan Mulvaney 46:14
Makeup or no makeup?
Sherry Cola 46:16
To be honest, no makeup at the end of the day. That’s the ruin right now that it feels so stressful, snatched and emotionally attached.
Dylan Mulvaney 46:24
Okay? Underrated dessert.
Sherry Cola 46:27
Red Velvet Cupcake from sprinkles.
Dylan Mulvaney 46:31
Yes, favorite city in the world.
Sherry Cola 46:34
That’s not really underrated, though, but the honeydew melon pops, Korean style.

I was re watching it, as I do, you know, four times a year, a quarterly, q1, q2, q3, q4, and it really, actually reminds me of joyride in a lot of ways, because there’s a music montage thing, like, there’s a road trip situation, there’s just outrageous sexual things. And I’m like, wow. Like, I grew up watching this film, the sweetest thing, and then I got to do a film.
Dylan Mulvaney 47:39
That’s what I was going to say, though. Like, how crazy that now something you’ve done is now, like, somebody’s answer to that question, how I love it? I mean, raunchy is I love raunchy. That’s why such freeing feeling right. I dine to do it, because I think we’re good people, but we like to be bad sometimes. And I feel guilty about the raunch because I think, like, there are, you know, people who get, like, turned off by that style of comedy, or like, I but it’s a part of like it, yeah, it lives in you, and it lives in me.
Sherry Cola 48:09
It’s interesting, because I feel like I’m good in the sense of like, like I said, I’ve never done cocaine, but go off, sis. Um, I just, but you can embody it, but I am, like, candid and chaotic, yes, and you know how I open Express, which can be bad, but I don’t think I’m safe, but I think I’m obedient.
Dylan Mulvaney 48:33
I think I’m what’s it called when you’re like, can be counted on?
Sherry Cola 48:37
Reliable. I think I’m relying so reliable.
Dylan Mulvaney 48:41
I’ll turn that shit out. If I say yes, we’re gonna make something great happen.
Sherry Cola 48:45
Girl, it’s almost like, I’m like, trying to prove something. It’s almost
Dylan Mulvaney 48:48
Like, but my bathroom counter, it might look a little crazy.
Sherry Cola 48:52
Oh, my God, my bathroom counter is a crime scene bad. Girl, is it? Oh, honey. We’re called, yeah, so bad right now, it’s Oh, talking like, because I had a broken nail, there’s like, Band Aid freaking wrappers everywhere, everywhere. The hamper has run it over. The hamper has run it.

Kill Fuck Mary. Mary. Fuck. Kill. Interesting. Let’s unpack that, I think. But I like that. You’re putting your own spin on it. No, kill Mary.

That’s That’s sometimes like, you know when we talk about our bitter of just saying yes, many things that’s in that same.
Dylan Mulvaney 52:44
But then you can use who you are, I think, because I I found especially trying to make all these people on the internet so happy all the time and and making as many people like me as possible, I was completely suppressing all the actual pieces of myself, like the bad girl, like the raunchy because I thought, oh God, you know, God forbid that I say a bad word or acknowledge that, like, I’m a sexual human being, or that, like, I’ve, you know, got these weird quirks about me that might turn some people off. I like, hid those, but then you’re being like, the shallowest sort of, like, polished version of yourself and that isn’t going to get you. I don’t think that’s going to be good in the end.
Sherry Cola 53:23
Yeah. I mean, being a public figure definitely has its extra layer of the pressure. Or what we think are you people want everybody in real life, definitely, you know?
Dylan Mulvaney 53:38
What would you say to Camille like, do you think.
Sherry Cola 53:41
What I’ve realized is that most of the time, people are not as mad that we don’t attend something or as annoyed that you didn’t do this for them, as we think we are overcompensating in our heads, like we are the ones going that extra mile, because we are so terrified of being not liked, that we actually make this up. They’re fine if we don’t go to their birthday. There’s 45 other people. Who are we? If anything, it’s us being full of ourselves, right? Thinking of, I’m not there. There is no party. You know what I’m saying? Like, I that’s what I realized. It’s like when we’re overly apologetic because we’ve been there, like, oh my god, I’m so sorry. I can’t make it. And what’s the reason, really, except, like, I don’t feel like it, slash, I’m just overwhelmed. Who isn’t overwhelmed. And then they’ll be like, Oh my god, don’t worry about it. I totally get it. There are people who will be petty and hold a grudge, of course, but most of the time, they get it, and as a matter of fact, they forgot that that even happened that exchange. Like, unless, of course, it’s like your sister or your
Dylan Mulvaney 54:40
Best friend or you know what’s going on in our own lives, that it’s like.
Sherry Cola 54:44
It’s heightened this, like the fact that they even need to be pleased. You know what I’m saying? Yep, like I am such a people pleaser in different ways of my life, the guilt is, is self provoked, like I’m making it up? Am? I of the time.
Dylan Mulvaney 55:00
Do you use comedy as a way to, like, get through that?
Sherry Cola 55:03
Definitely, I’ll be like, you know, let’s say I there’s three birthdays in a house warming on a Friday night. Girl, you’re slinging jokes at all of them. Oh, you’re talking about when I attend. I’m talking about when I, like, need to get out of something. When I get out of something. There’s also jokes, because I might as well give you a treat if I’m gonna punish you.
Dylan Mulvaney 55:22
Well, I think, yeah, surround yourself with people who know you really well, and that you feel like you get to be your complete self with so that when you feel called to please someone else, you know already what your morals and values are with the people you love, and so that it doesn’t slip into the broader parts of your life.
Sherry Cola 55:39
Yeah, absolutely. I think you know it taking time to yourself, perhaps journaling the pros and cons of the people in your life and what they do to fill your cup. Because my mom even said yesterday at the Cheesecake Factory, she says, You have to take care of yourself first. And I was like, Mom, drag me really the cheese factory in front of the free bread you need to take first.
Dylan Mulvaney 56:06
Um so, Cheesecake Factory. That was, that was nice, good. We should talk comedy, music. Camille, oh. Camille, yes.
Sherry Cola 56:19
Camille, come don’t feel conceal, okay. Under the eyes, look great, okay? Camille, […]
Dylan Mulvaney 56:33
E, Camille.
Sherry Cola 56:36
Cam for short, Illy, if you’re you know.
Dylan Mulvaney 56:38
It was so cute, actually.
Sherry Cola 56:41
Okay, journal, just to express therapy, always, Lent is good. Lens is good, yeah, maybe take what.
Dylan Mulvaney 56:51
If this is actually for Camille. Camille, for Lent. You’re giving up people pleasing.
Sherry Cola 56:56
Yes, make it a goal like that. Make it like 40 days a tangible and then transactional, logical goal.
Dylan Mulvaney 57:03
If Camille, too has a wine party thrown by her friend, Camille might choose to people please that day, tell me, what are you looking forward to in your life? Are you? Are you happy?
Sherry Cola 57:14
You know what? I worked with Keanu, Reeves, whoa, on something quick. I popped in and played the summer, okay? And I’m sitting there in my living room a couple days later, and my vision board is just always right there. You have a vision board, yeah, it’s under my TV, kind of to the bottom right, and I and I look at it, and Keanu Reeves is on there.
Dylan Mulvaney 57:36
So in January of you put Keanu Reeves on your vision board?
Sherry Cola 57:39
Yeah, he must have been on some John Wick, you know, advertisement or something. I was like, why not? You know, he’s Asian. That’s usually my that’s, that’s quite the mentality when I make a vision board, yeah, they’re Asian. Throw them and put them on there, you know? And I was like, Oh, my God, manifest, honey. And, and you did it. That’s it. Can you tell the people at home like you got to ask for what you want, manifesting. I listen when we say we’re hanging by a thread. We don’t. Is hanging by a nail. That’s okay. No, it’s giving. Now You See Me, now you don’t. It’s giving like, like Asian mom, visor, you know what I’m saying? It’s giving smoke and mirrors. It’s giving the cocaine was too strong. It’s giving the Cobra promise, no.
Dylan Mulvaney 58:27
This is the sherry cola nail.
Sherry Cola 58:28
It’s giving. Emily embarrassed, it’s giving that was good, not my best. I liked it, not my worst. It’s giving, like.
Dylan Mulvaney 58:39
Something duplex, she’s giving a little lift. Okay, no, but we have to tell the people what you want.
Sherry Cola 58:46
We want panini press.
Dylan Mulvaney 58:47
Okay, we’re getting you an action film.
Sherry Cola 58:52
It’s giving a fail salon. No, it’s a nail. I’m done. I have to leave.
Dylan Mulvaney 58:57
I do. Hello, Camille, Mom, can you come pick us up? The fact that Camille is now my emergency. Camille is my mom. I think we need Camille more than she needs, though, if we took Camille to the Cheesecake Factory, and you know what it when we do it you we just pick you up from your like I almost said, John Bond. What’s his name? James Bond? Oh, you did your James You did your first day on James Bond in a tux, and then James bondage, me and Camille pick you up. We bring you into the Cheesecake Factory. We eat the desert, the dessert first. We’re not well, something’s really wrong, please […] they’re like. Why do you have a pod? And we’re gonna take you there, and then we’re gonna be okay. That’s what I’m just praying. You know, it’s actually, I’m not worried about you. Cheesecake Camille, you don’t worry. I’m not worried about you.
Sherry Cola 59:52
I am not worried about you either, because one, we have each other, yeah, no matter what.
Dylan Mulvaney 59:56
We did do that award once.
Sherry Cola 59:58
We are surviving. We’re thriving. We’re jiving. You’ve got good hair.
Dylan Mulvaney 1:00:06
You listen, you look good.
Sherry Cola 1:00:07
I gotta say, the secret is that the the drapes actually don’t match the carpet, because down there not as abundant. Oh, flags.
Dylan Mulvaney 1:00:18
