Grindr has launched a new podcast/video series, Who’s the A**hole?, that features RuPaul’s Drag Race legend Katya as the main interviewer. On Thursday, Feb. 15, the series’ first episode was dropped with country superstar Orville Peck as the special guest.
During the interview, Peck talks about feeling starstruck upon meeting Brad Pitt in person at a friend’s birthday party in Los Angeles. As the story goes, while Peck waited in line for the bathroom, none other than the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star happened to walk out of it.
“You know how, [for] our generation, [Pitt] was like the ‘marker’ for handsome?” Peck explains. “Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: that was the description for someone handsome. And then you think, ‘Oh, maybe by today’s [standards]… maybe now that wouldn’t count.’ But when you see this man, I’m not joking, I just want him to hold me.”
“He’s like glowing and emanating,” he continues. “You know how he’s super-chill, ‘Stoner Dad’ vibes? And he’s wearing this little funny bucket hat and he’s dressed all cute. He looks so cute. So he comes out of the bathroom and he’s holding the door… I’d met him very briefly before, but I was like, ‘Oh, hi again!’ And he goes, ‘Hey.’ And I went, ‘Do you know where the bathroom is?’ And he goes, ‘Yeah, you’re in line for it, it’s right here.’ And I go, ‘Oh my god of course! Ha-ha, stupid me!’ Just like full rom-com. It was like She’s All That.”
Peck concludes, “He’s beautiful, and I would risk it all to have one night of bliss with him.”
Without missing a beat, Katya proclaims that this conversation should be taken one step further. “I’m not afraid of saying that I would suck the sh*t right out of his f*cking assh*le,” the Drag Race star adds.

Elsewhere in the interview, Peck reveals that he’s not currently on the Grindr, but has been in the past. Like many users, Peck didn’t have a face picture showing on the grid — which is ironic given that not showing his face is still a part of his brand as a musician — but did have a photo of his torso on the app.
When it comes to using Grindr, Peck is a big advocate for blocking people as much as you’d like. “If you feel like, for whatever reason, someone’s crossing a boundary that you don’t like or making you uncomfortable… f*cking block them,” he says. “Block whoever you want.”
