Part sitcom, part life lessons, the coach delves into issues of gender, race and self-improvement all through a surrealist comedic lens.
spk_0
Evan Nixon is a former performer. Oh, that's really hard to say. Can I try something else? Nope, I can't. All right, I'll keep going.
spk_0
Evan Nixon is a former performer, starting a new as a certify that coach, aided by his husband, Kevin. You sang to him.
spk_0
I panicked. Maybe you need to talk to someone else about this.
spk_0
Amy Miss Erica? His best friend, Minksy. Remember the woman that was my mentor while I was in coaching school?
spk_0
Miss Erica, come in. This calls for a drink.
spk_0
I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in getting mixed up in another Evan Nixon misadventure. I'm still picking glitter out of my hair.
spk_0
And his mentor, Miss Erica of Miss Erica's Life Coaching Institute and Cross-Dressing Academy.
spk_0
Evan, my dear, you were selected to be in the Life Coaching Institute from a large pool of applicants.
spk_0
Little did he know it was a swimming pool filled with lots of resumes.
spk_0
Evan navigates a host of zany clients.
spk_0
You may recall that I have four other friends, also named Jeff, and that they don't speak.
spk_0
Very hard to forget. They don't want me talking for that many more.
spk_0
As my stiletto jabbed him in a throat in three-quarter time, I was reminded of my love of the dance.
spk_0
So that's why I'm here. I want to become a Broadway style dancer.
spk_0
That is really, I mean, I don't know what...
spk_0
I'm looking for a civilized way to let non-white people moving into my neighborhood know that they are absolutely not welcome.
spk_0
Get out. But what about my check?
spk_0
Revelations!

This space adventure follows three black sisters who are strong, outrageous, and powerful.
spk_0

In a world that's so serious, The Trinity Squad is a comedic story that leaves the audience feeling ready to face life's challenges,
spk_0
knowing they can conquer them because they have each other, and the power within them to do so.
spk_0
A brat like you could go for quite a lot of coin in the dark, sad.
spk_0
How about I sell ya?
spk_0
Hey, does your sister look like a Mohawk Axe-Folding Warrior who can do one-on pull-up?
spk_0
Or an intergalactically dialed-in technological savant?
spk_0
That's exactly what they look like.
spk_0
I guess I don't need to lie to you anymore, big guy.
spk_0
I'm Lera, the incredibly gorgeous and equally fair sister of The Trinity Squad.
spk_0
Oh, we're about to break into the ice tower of Broome.
spk_0
You lied.
spk_0
That's all you got from that?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
They popped out of the snow with weapons.
spk_0
You'll never get in the tower, squibs.
spk_0
You think?
spk_0
Because I could take you with one hand behind my back and...
spk_0
One-on-one.
spk_0
Meanwhile, I'd be shocking you from all the way over here to my savant.
spk_0
Made it myself.
spk_0
I did the outfit.
spk_0
One must always play a part.
spk_0
But check this out.
spk_0
Not hair clips.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0

spk_0
Good night, big guy.

spk_0
They never do.
spk_0
I love you, under a sleeve.
spk_0
Get his keys.
spk_0
Let's get inside, find the egg-like relic, and high-tail it back to the junk shack.
spk_0
Easy, cheesy.
spk_0
Pumpkins, easy.

spk_0
If it's a drone, it's nothing I've seen.
spk_0
Dr. Stevens, the only way to know if it'll harm us is to see how it reacts to human contact.
spk_0
Did you see that?
spk_0
That was human, right?
spk_0
Well, Peterson said it transformed.
spk_0
So you don't see anything weird here?

As I said, it is a long story.

What really put me in jail was a stupid numbers form between me and Don Schultz.
spk_0
Don Schultz?
spk_0
What did you do about it?

We had a solid plan.
spk_0
We had to put Schultz in a wooden communal.

spk_0
That's right.
spk_0
I finally moved out of my mama's house and into a cute ass apartment downtown.
spk_0
I can't even describe the feeling of finally being able to have my own.
spk_0
Having the freedom to do whatever and whoever the fuck I choose.
spk_0
All I could think about when I signed the lease was, thank God.
spk_0
I can't help but feel like things are finally falling into place.
spk_0
Playing out the way they should.
spk_0

spk_0
To be honest, a lot of the shit that I'm doing right now is petrifying.
spk_0
It's scary. It's spooky.
spk_0
It's scary, too.

spk_0
Yeah. I am.
