Very Delta #94 with Cosmo Queen of Melrose: "Are You Michelle Pfeiffer By The Pool Like Me?"

Make way for the Queen of Melrose! Cosmo has blessed us with a visit to get Very Delta! She spills the tea on what brought her to Los Angeles and how she lost everything, but gained it all back! This is a story of perseverance, heart and a lot of laughs. The two chat about trade in the 80’s, trade today and transactional affections. Plus, Delta goes off about parents with babies on planes. You won’t find her on the Booger Down Jamboree.

[@armygirl85fuckhitler74]

I loathe fashion and Hollywood, yet I found Trixie and Katyas show and became obsessed. I just found Cosmo from Mark and I'm a 39 year old mom rasing my son as an ally too. My point is these biological ladies😂 are branching out across all ages and sexual orientations. That takes talent. I literally watch Trixie put on make up even though I hate it. I don't watch Drag Race for that reason, but even got my man watching Ughnnnn or however you spell it. No toxic masculinity in him at all. If he got hit on he'd be flattered lol. Sorry so long just wanted to give these greats their flowers. I'm still learning the lingo and say cunt waaaayyyy too much😂 Praying for Katya and Cosmos recovery it takes a lifetime. Cosmo is amazing and warms my soul sounding like Big Ang. Sorry so long lol but y'all are NOT alone❤ Drag isn't a crime and neither is loving the same sex.

This was such an amazing episode. I could listen to Cosmos stories all day, especially with Delta. I think we need to see a segment of them going into Cosmo' store!

this is such a good idea yes please!

I’ve watched it three times 😂

This episode was insane. Baby on plane monologue totally unhinged. It’s become a totally hybrid theatrical performance - therapeutic - asmr - frying the small fish world leader event.

This is the best episode ever!! It deserves an emmy

I just hope that one doesn’t get taken away too

[@benjaminroman916]

I'm glad I got to meet Cosmo in this interview. This is the type of characters of the 🌈 community that we need to know more about, especially in pride month. Their authenticity is inspiring and much needed in an ocean of cookie cutter people.

Tea!

Yes I agree

[@yourownprivateidaho8262]

“where is my wheel? have you seen my wheel?” LMAOOOOOOO shes the funniest

Oh my god it’s when Delta is impersonating someone that is self centred - “oh mama bear! Having a baby’s hard right!” - sooooo hilarious oh my god

[@PrecociousFriand]

Are you a baby like me? Then you're very Delta Airlines

[@GaiaCarney]

“Hi, Mama opossum!” 😆😅

[@hayleyh14]

I discovered Cosmo right after my roomate passed away. Cosmo reminds me so much of him. I feel really happy to see cosmo and be reminded of my friend Scott. I wish nothing but the best for both of you🥺❤️

[@XNTYLER]

Cosmo is the queen of crackheads maybe. He’s a jealous witch that is on his 3rd strike with the show cops

[@jamn2boost]

This is probably the BEST episode I’ve seen. The genuine honesty takes it there

[@tilsonanth0ny]

Delta got emotional around 26:00, that statement from Cosmo hit me too. You need to be passionate about what you do. Lord, let me find my passion, or maybe I already know what it is but too scared to go for it.

[@elliedrama46]

Love cosmo validating Deltas stories, they definitely were passing ships in the night back then, im so glad they got to meet!

I think queen is so right, after covid most people’s social skills have gone down, mine included. Anxiety is so real doll

[@The_Crucible714]

Tbh, everyone who remembers how it was before “social media” saw the effects building since the early-mid 2000s. After covid it was like everyone woke up from a coma and said “wtf?”

[@lauram5905]

I could listen to Cosmo for hours, oh my god

[@The_Crucible714]

Cosmo reminds me of my Aunt Molly from “Lung Eye-lent”… she always made the sawwwce (except we called it “gravy.) 🍝 😂

[@starlight0002]

[@VinceSinging]

These two need to be guest hosts on QVC. They could sell Anything!!!

[@Dangerx2o]

loved this episode, there is something so captivating when Delta and a guest share stories about old school night life or even old school life in general. its like im sitting at the table watching my two aunts talk about life back in the day.

[@jlokeepinitreal]

This was such an amazing episode. You two could chat and talk for hours!! And I would love to see it! You so need to visit her shop on very delta and add a special outside segment

[@drewpresky6956]

This is probably the greatest single podcast episode ever

[@PhD_Teacher_Ed]

Best episode ever. Also, as a gay dad, i get so irritated with momma bear culture. We're proof we can parent without any attention. No one writes articles about us and raising kids. Yeah it's hard, but we raise our kid to be polite. We know our son isn't everyone's priority.

[@VAMPYRICBASSIST]

I love all of MOM's podcasts because they introduces us to LEGENDS in the scene that otherwise, don't get the recognition they deserve. Bravo Delta and MOM!💪🙏🙋‍♂️💖

[@eduardoarredondo511]

“A lady with negotiable affection” should be in my social bios from now on😅

[@beaulloyd5281]

This is not a specific comment about this episode but, rather about the show and Delta Work as a whole. I am currently 32 years old native Angeleno as well. and after watching and listening to the Pod for some time, I just really appreciate how mature, earnest, and comfortable Delta is with herself. This has been so helpful to me. Also, Delta's work has inspired me to develop my voice. At the beginning of every episode, Delta's "Rant" is such a great masterclass on letting loose and being tongue-in-cheek without taking yourself too seriously. I love a good "go off" even for small things. Such a LA thing if you ask me

[@indigocharles7445]

You seem like a lovely person

[@alberto.camposs]

Oh my, that’s exactly my point of view. It’s a baby. That’s it. The theatrical of all is exhausting.

[@zackattack8845]

I’m only halfway through this video and I already can’t wait to rewatch it 5 more times

[@danielrosenhart]

As much as I love these gals.. it’s just they are so very far removed from how it is to be a modern queer individual especially when it came to talking about “don’t work for just a paycheck do what you love!” It’s just like- that’s just not a reality for most queer folk who get kicked out of their conservative parents house and can’t afford college ur essential stuck to do sex work and work a shitty job to stay alive, things just aren’t as easy anymore and it’s sad that it’s come to that.

[@sam_sands]

i think this is the best episode yet omg

[@mokuuuokeawe]

That momma bear baby monologue... I live

[@redalchemy]

I'm barely into this one and I love you so much. The baby craze is wild and drives me insane. I'm a server and babies always make the BIGGEST mess that we then have to clean. The parents at most will say "Ohh sorry for the mess hahaha"

[@lawrencole1964]

Lmao baby craze? You mean the way humans have reproduced since the beginning of time?

[@RTJames-gq9xg]

And with the BIGGEST smile “ she/he is so adorable. Please make sure you show us your appreciation with the gratuity! BYEEEEEE”

[@segrivas2015]

Delta´s mood completely changes to stone cold whenever Cosmo mentions the words RuPaul LOL she cant wait to change the subject to whatever..... we all know their story but it makes it uncomfortably strange to watch those minutes.... lol refer to mins 38'-43

[@kamiw5864]

This is epic. Also, Miss Delta is absolutely teenty tinty behind the desk today. Werk, Momma.

[@alexanderpark682]

omg, the people asked and delta delivered!!! yes, mama! 🖤u

[@DanielRodriguez-xb7jn]

The way Cosmo took me on a ride through all the emotions and has me still, in a literal, chokehold w Iole tears fall down my cheeks and a smile stays drawn on my face ITS WILD! Cosmo encompasses realness through and through! And I gotta admit it, just moved to Florida after 6 years living in New York and hearing that accent and getting that singular vibe that only New Yorkers carry and stamp in everything they do made me feel right back at home for the duration of the interview at least!

[@residentevilnerd]

Bring Cosmo back as soon as possible holy shit this episode was amazing

[@wireframe01]

The costume is a look I made/ built for Cosmos Glamsquad got shown on this Very Delta! As I'm listening to it I'm wondering 🤔 if they going to show a photo... and they did. Cosmo and Donato did a lot of the face…. Tom Talmon did all the LED lights . Tom Talmon did the spark bra for Gaga and the razor blade glasses for bad romance and lots of Katy Perry projects! So strange ……I was just thinking of the molds for the belt flaps this morning for the Deonte Wilder Costume! 🎉 It got shown on SNL also 😂 saying Skeletor Meets Mortal Kombat.

[@jonathanbutler8817]

I clicked so fast! Love Cosmo and Delta! Interview match made in heaven!

[@melonysandia5930]

I’ll never get tired of saying this: I love Delta, I enjoy this show so much, I thank mom

[@TheGirlsAreUs]

Incredible guest and episode … omg the 80s and 90s discussions brought us baaaaaack and seeing the passion of both of you … also Astor Place such a slay in the day nyc reference

[@blicbloc2575]

I will say, the job thing is different now because a collective trauma in the Job market of being gradually and effective held down in artificial poverty. So the consensus is why keep exerting effort for results that only serve to drain you further? Why work hard if it doesn't pay off? So working less saves your energy for yourself, to offset the deficit. Cause they sure as he'll ain't gonna compensate with cash....

[@simonmay4947]

This is what respect for gay elders looks like! Delta handled this interview so reverently and kindly. Thank you for being an example lovely! 🥰

[@ohwowoh7281]

Delta is so correct about flight attendants! They go through a lot of safety training and not your personal waiter!

[@jaythompson8762]

Can we please get a second episode? I could listen to Cosmo all day long.
