7:15

the most obscene combinations of flavors? I'm

7:18

obsessed with those machines because they have

7:20

real treats for real people like me

7:23

who like Gatorade flavors or like a

7:25

grape power age I feel

7:27

represented live it up. I Am

7:31

just like the J Lo and pitbull song Okay,

7:34

if we could talk about hey you

7:36

7:38

fine. I'm a carrot Did

7:40

I tell you did I tell you about the

7:42

box of 120 Slim Jims? I

7:44

got no, but I would love to know

7:47

more What hey, I

7:50

need that. Are you doing anything with that? Baby

7:53

I did I really not tell you. Well, are you

7:55

doing anything with that? Are you gonna eat that? I'm

7:58

eating it all I was gonna

8:00

have you guess how many I ate since the last time

8:02

I talked about this on the pod. Okay, well how many

8:04

have you eaten? I don't know,

8:07

I didn't count but... Fun game! Put

8:09

up pretty... I don't know, I'm not

8:11

good at like how many gumballs are

8:13

in the dentist office machine. So what

8:15

do they come in? A

8:17

box? My

8:20

friend's mom tried to order herself

8:22

a box of 120 Slim

8:24

Jimps and she accidentally sent it to her

8:27

daughter's house instead and then they were like,

8:29

the fuck am I gonna do with the

8:31

120 Slim Jimps and baby? And

8:34

they found their way to you. And

8:36

I said, oh honey, I will take 120 Slim Jimps,

8:38

thank you. Okay,

8:42

how many Slim Jimps do you think you can

8:44

eat in a day? How many can you eat

8:46

in your mouth at once? I

8:49

should tell you they're shorty sticks, so

8:51

they're like, they're not the full long...

8:53

They're short but they're thin. They're

8:56

literally short but thin. They're

8:59

so short that in fact the box, because

9:01

you know I've been on my workout kick,

9:03

I have to count my calories and make

9:05

sure I'm getting my gains and shit. They're

9:09

so little that it says four of these

9:11

Slim Jimps is one serving. Okay. All

9:14

right. So yeah, I eat four. I

9:17

think the appeal to me of a Slim Jim

9:19

is like an

9:22

extra long stick

9:25

of meat. I want the experience of like

9:27

I'm eating a stick. Yeah,

9:30

it kind of is. It's like eating a

9:32

stick. Right, but what I'm saying is when

9:34

they cut it into fourth

9:37

half... I think it's a... That

9:40

to me is like, okay, I'm not trying to nibble

9:42

on a pencil. I'm trying to... You

9:44

know those long, long pencils you could have

9:46

in middle school? Yeah,

9:48

they're really good. That's what I'm trying to chew

9:50

on, okay? I just like them thicky,

9:52

thicky, thick girls. Yeah, I don't want it to be

9:54

thick but I like it to be long. A

9:57

long pencil. I didn't

9:59

know you. love Slim Jim. Well

10:01

I don't but I feel like so

10:04

I you know you know I've recently

10:06

I have a new

10:08

era that I've recently unlocked my trucker

10:11

era. I've heard about

10:13

it. And so I feel like a Slim

10:15

Jim would be very much it would be

10:18

something my trucker fursona

10:20

would consume. Did

10:22

you say fursona? I

10:27

did I did. You know do

10:30

furries have fursonas? It's about time we

10:32

stop saying my Patronus

10:34

okay Harry Potter's out. It's

10:37

about time we stop saying spirit

10:39

animal that's cultural appropriation that's out.

10:41

What you really mean is fursona.

10:46

Just say it. Actually I actually

10:48

think this is an incredible switch.

10:51

Just I'm committed to the

10:53

switch. Join us. Let's do it join us.

10:57

Join the revolution. So anyway my fursona currently

10:59

is that is Terry Fieri the truck driver

11:01

and I feel like he would very much

11:04

like a Slim Jim. Terry

11:07

Fieri? Is that named after Guy

11:09

Fieri? Not named after. We're not

11:11

related like closely. I'm not

11:15

about to. Inspired by him. Terry Fieri is

11:17

not somebody who would send his genetic

11:19

makeup to to sell it for

11:21

just a bit of information. No he's not

11:24

gonna he's not you

11:26

know a slave to the system. Does

11:28

he fall out of

11:30

the same tree? Terry?

11:33

Two nuts in the same tree? Two

11:35

of the same Fieri trees? I don't

11:38

know anyway if you

11:40

have any to spare for Terry Fieri

11:43

you better slap into the How

11:46

do you spell Terry? T-E-R-R-Y.

11:49

Oh pretty classic. And

11:51

then Fieri F-I-E-R-I. Fiery.

11:55

Yeah you can see episode one

11:57

on youtube.com/Tyler Oakley games new every

11:59

Thursday latest episode is that.

12:02

Are you an actor? Well,

12:04

you know, yes and from time

12:06

to time. Do

12:09

you need representation? Tyler

12:13

doesn't, but Terry might. Good

12:15

to know, good to know. And he

12:17

is eligible for Slim Jim partnerships. Hell

12:21

yeah, brother. Yes, hell, brother.

12:26

Some Christmas news. Let's

12:29

hear it. Reindeer Games by Big

12:31

Brother. What does that mean? I

12:34

think you should dabble in Reindeer Games by Big

12:36

Brother. Make it make sense

12:38

first. The show Big

12:41

Brother is doing like a

12:43

two week long season. Okay.

12:46

Called Big Brother Reindeer Games. Okay.

12:50

Premiering on Monday, December

12:53

11th. Okay, it's

12:55

got all the fans. Yesterday.

12:58

It's got all the fan favorites. Like whom?

13:02

Brittany from our season of The Amazing Race.

13:04

Okay, I stand. Danielle

13:06

Reyes. Yes. Nicole

13:09

Franzell. Cody

13:11

Cali-Fure. Frankie Grande. Hey,

13:14

did Cody come out as bi? No,

13:17

his brother. Oh, yeah, there

13:19

were videos of his brother talking about chains

13:23

and whips excite me, et

13:25

cetera. Yeah. He's

13:28

into vampire play. That's what it was. You

13:31

know, vampires. What's

13:36

up with that? Okay, what's your Christmas

13:39

do? Well,

13:42

I don't know. Actually, I was about to say it, but then

13:44

I was like, oh, fuck, I think I talked about it last

13:46

week. Brenda Lee. Oh my

13:48

God, you talked about it last week. Yeah,

13:50

well, she got her first number one. The

13:53

only update is that Mariah Carey sent her

13:55

flowers. You know what? That's

13:57

a nice move. That's a good move.

14:00

when I supported it, it

14:02

was like a passing

14:05

of the guard from Christmas

14:07

Queen to Christmas Queen. I

14:10

think my main question here is

14:12

though, I like the idea of Christmas

14:15

songs that are

14:18

iconic, like Rockin'

14:20

Around the Christmas Tree, going number

14:22

one 65 years after it came out. If

14:25

you could give some justice to

14:27

some other Christmas songs that didn't

14:30

necessarily get number ones, what

14:32

would they be? What Christmas songs are

14:34

your iconic Christmas songs? Well,

14:37

all of the Glee Christmas songs. Okay.

14:42

Last Christmas by Wham. That

14:44

never went number one? No,

14:46

I don't think back in the day those

14:48

songs were really going number one around the

14:51

holidays. Who even knows how charts worked back

14:53

then? Santa Baby by Miss Piggy? Yeah.

14:56

Sure. Do you think

14:58

the new Cher Christmas song is going

15:00

to go number one? Well, it did

15:02

go number one in the dance charts

15:04

or maybe even... I

15:07

don't know what chart, but it went number

15:09

one, which is a big deal because it

15:12

is her seventh number

15:15

one that is

15:17

from a different decade. Let me say

15:19

that differently. Cher has now charted a

15:22

number one hit in seven different decades.

15:24

That's pretty iconic. I

15:26

just wish. I was like, I

15:28

understand there's a chart for everything. But

15:32

it's like, when people say shit like

15:34

that, I want to be like, make it a billboard hot

15:36

100 number

15:39

one. The creme de la puede number one. Yeah,

15:41

that would be iconic, but that's not what we're

15:43

talking about. We're just talking about billboard charts. She's

15:45

had a number one in different billboard charts in

15:48

seven different decades. This one, DJ

15:50

Play A Christmas Song, was number

15:52

one on the Dance Electric Song sales

15:55

chart. Okay.

15:57

Sales chart. It

16:00

still is the number one. I

16:03

feel like a lot of gays have

16:05

really been trying to push DJ

16:08

to play that Christmas song on

16:10

me. Well, you know who it

16:13

was written by? Yes.

16:15

Yes. The Good Sis Leland. The

16:17

Good Sis Leland. And so you know what? That

16:21

may have a trickle down effect to who

16:23

is pushing gay wives into your ear. He's

16:26

getting that Christmas coin. He

16:28

said, I want the residuals

16:30

that Pentatonix gets year after

16:32

year. Sure. And who doesn't?

16:35

I was just home in Michigan celebrating

16:37

Christmas early. My

16:40

parents really stan Pentatonix. A

16:43

lot of people do. My dad's

16:45

just like, oh man, Mary, did you know?

16:47

It's just their version is just the best.

16:50

So his answer is he wants the Pentatonix Mary,

16:52

did you know? To

16:55

go number one. To go number one.

16:57

Retroactive. And then my mom's jumping in.

16:59

She's got answers too. She loves the

17:01

Pentatonix. Last time, did I tell you? Well,

17:04

last time I was home in August, the

17:07

neighbor's granddaughter was mowing the lawn

17:09

in a Pentatonix seizure. And

17:11

I recorded it on my Instagram and

17:13

sent it to Scott. I said, perfect.

17:15

Your impact. It spans

17:17

far and wide, baby. Yes.

17:20

The Michiganders are here for it. I'm still

17:23

in this Cher article reading about what other

17:25

songs went number one by Cher. Okay.

17:29

Well, Believe. Yes. I

17:31

got you, babe. Turn back time. I was going

17:33

to say I got you, babe. It doesn't have a full list. It's like,

17:35

why would you make the article if you're not going to give me the

17:38

full list to go with the article

17:40

about what, you know? It's like, shut up. Especially

17:42

when it's only seven songs. Like, that's

17:44

barely even like a BuzzFeed

17:47

article these days. Yeah. Yeah.

17:50

Speak on that. Listicle, honey. Um,

17:54

okay. Did you go

17:56

to gag city this week? What?

18:00

Where's the Gag City? Where's the

18:02

Gag City? I was

18:04

in Jackson. I just told you that.

18:07

Okay. Well, Gag City is

18:10

a digital landscape.

18:12

Okay. It's a, uh,

18:15

uh... Is this in the metaverse? Kind

18:17

of. Gag City is a, uh,

18:20

in... So, did you see... Okay.

18:23

Uh, Nicki Minaj, do you know who

18:25

that is? It's had Pink

18:27

Friday 2, the Gag City album. No.

18:30

Pink Friday 2 by Nicki Minaj, the

18:32

album artwork. Did you see it? It's

18:34

her, like, on, like, a futuristic

18:37

pink subway stop or

18:39

something in the sky.

18:43

Anyway, so the aesthetic was really

18:45

pleasing to the, to the legendary

18:47

children of the House of Minaj.

18:49

Minaj. And so everyone started to

18:51

say, like, oh, she's, she's, that's

18:53

her in Gag City. And

18:56

so everyone started using AI

18:58

to create extensions of Gag

19:00

City and, uh, imagery

19:03

of, like, who was arriving to Gag

19:05

City as the countdown was on for

19:07

Pink Friday 2 to be released. So,

19:09

like, the night before Pink Friday 2

19:11

came out, everyone, all these celebrities were

19:13

arriving into Gag City. So there was,

19:15

like, the Pope arriving into Gag City.

19:17

There was, um, uh, there

19:20

was an insurrection at the capital of Gag

19:23

City. There were, a lot was

19:25

going on, actually. And

19:27

were they, were they gagging? They were

19:30

gagging. And then, um, the first flight

19:32

out of Gag City, uh, was, was

19:34

full. Because, uh, as soon as the

19:36

album came out, everyone was a little,

19:38

like, actually, it was

19:41

more fun to promote it before it came out. And,

19:44

and then when it came out, nobody was really vibing with

19:46

it. So I think, I'm sure, I'm sure some barbs were,

19:49

were saying they were vibing with it. But my,

19:52

my finger on the pulse of the general consensus

19:54

of the internet was that, um, it did not

19:57

live up to Pink Friday 1. a

20:00

lot of people were like, this isn't even giving

20:02

Pink Friday. It's just, it was just,

20:05

it's as if Gaga wanted to make a new

20:07

album and just said, this is art pop

20:09

too, but it wasn't giving art pop in the

20:11

first place. Does that make sense? Like,

20:13

just kinda like, it sure does. Let's just

20:16

ride the wave that we had a few

20:18

years ago and get people jumping into

20:20

the gig. That's why you gotta

20:22

be careful with prequels and shequels and

20:25

squeakwalls. Is Pink Friday

20:27

too the squeakwool or not? It

20:29

was promoted as the squeakwool, but

20:31

it was giving, it

20:33

was giving nothing of the

20:36

sort. Borrowed title, just

20:38

a new album. Yes, yes.

20:42

Well, it came out on a Friday, so there's that.

20:46

There is that. Ha ha ha ha. I

20:52

accidentally upset the, what

20:54

is? Apple cart? What is

20:56

Selena Gomez's fan? What are they called?

20:59

Selenators. The Selenators. I tweeted a

21:02

tweet. You know what they say.

21:04

What? Gotta keep an

21:06

eye out for Selena. Well, I did and

21:08

I unfortunately, I pay the price. So

21:11

I, somebody

21:13

was, you know how she quits Instagram all

21:15

the time? Listen.

21:19

And if I have to, she announces that she

21:21

quits Instagram all the time? That's gay behavior. That's

21:25

what I thought. I said, this is giving, I'm deleting

21:27

Grindr. Here's my number if you

21:29

even care. Okay, well I think

21:31

that's a little different. Mine is

21:34

the if you even care. But

21:36

like posting an Instagram story, announcing that you're

21:38

taking a break. Baby. Well,

21:41

you know what? Okay, on one hand, she

21:43

is the most followed person on Instagram. So

21:45

maybe there is a sense of like, if

21:48

I don't post, what will people think?

21:50

But also like, girl, girl.

21:53

If one of your, if one

21:55

of your faves didn't post, what

21:57

would you think? I would think

21:59

just. normal day in the fandom she'll

22:01

go Miss

22:04

Germanotta will go years without posting

22:06

what are you talking about and she won't make an

22:08

announcement about it I just

22:10

don't think if Katie stop posting shoe pics

22:12

then you know something's wrong I

22:15

just don't think like I just don't

22:17

think I

22:20

just don't think that I would see

22:22

any celebrity like slow down in their

22:24

posting and then be like oh god

22:26

are they dead like no I'd be

22:28

like cool good for them take a

22:30

vacation mental health break now go

22:32

out or speaking of which when

22:34

I posted about this because I said not to

22:36

be a hater but how many times is she

22:38

gonna announce that she's deleting her Instagram so you

22:40

were being a it's not being a hater let

22:42

me just say that right off the bat I'm

22:44

not being a hater but but for real if

22:47

anybody in your life announced they were quitting

22:49

Instagram twice in your

22:52

full time of knowing them you would

22:54

think are they okay well

22:59

the therapist a lot of a lot of the

23:01

replies were she has mental health issues and how

23:03

dare you and I'm like okay it's

23:05

2023 we all have mental health issues anyway

23:07

so yeah well the reason

23:16

the reason she did she said she was taking

23:18

a break was because was because

23:20

somebody asked her to speak out about Palestine and then

23:23

she said I'm out of here oh

23:26

and you know how easy it is to um

23:28

to have just I

23:32

don't know spoken up for something if you're the

23:34

most followed person on Instagram I don't know maybe

23:36

that would that could be something good is what

23:38

I'm thinking but I guess to each

23:40

their own on that one I was

23:44

live on TikTok right before this and I

23:46

said hot topics question mark question mark somebody

23:48

said Anthony from Queer Eye

23:51

and Hugh Jackman are allegedly dating I

23:53

said if you're up in my comments

23:55

spreading misinformation I don't care because I'm

23:57

writing it down well

23:59

he just called off

24:01

his engagement. Ooh, Antony

24:04

that is. So perhaps that was,

24:06

well one of the reason he called off

24:08

the engagement was to level

24:12

up to a Zaddy. Is that,

24:14

is that what that is? Is that what that hit, is that what

24:16

that would be? Well I mean I

24:18

think Hugh Jackman is

24:20

older than his ex and probably

24:24

has more money. Wow, is that

24:26

all that matters. Yes.

24:29

28:25

haircut. Oh I

28:28

28:31

And I couldn't go so I

28:33

like to just wake up and be like you know I should get a

28:35

haircut today I've never got enough foresight

28:38

To pre-plan that shit and the lady who cuts

28:40

my hair you have to make an appointment a

28:42

couple days in advance So anyways

28:44

I was like I'm gonna sneak and

28:46

go back to my old Girly because

28:49

she was always available always open

28:51

make a reservation come on in in an hour,

28:53

so I went to see her She

28:56

pretended like she remembered me I just didn't believe

28:58

that she did because it's been three years, but

29:00

chatted my ear off was like you're so cute

29:03

Blah blah blah and she was all hey Can

29:06

I give your number to my other cute client?

29:11

She said he's single he's looking for a

29:14

cute boy like you okay What

29:17

do you think I said I

29:19

said go for it? What do I have to lose?

29:21

I was gonna be like you can

29:23

give him my Instagram Maybe let him check me out

29:25

before he just blindly text me, but I

29:27

thought you know what if he's

29:29

if he's brave enough To just text based off of

29:31

just the number then sure Okay,

29:34

so did he text you? No,

29:36

oh But I don't

29:38

but I don't know if he had like an appointment

29:40

later that day or she's just gonna like next time

29:42

he comes in sort of thing mmm

29:46

Okay wait so it's another it's one of

29:48

her clients or Okay,

29:50

so she she someone else's hair. She

29:53

cut well. You know what I

29:55

think hair hair cutters hairstylists

29:58

groomers Uh,

30:02

well, you know, groomers really appropriated groomers

30:04

from groomers because groomers were grooming before

30:06

groomers ever groomed. Do you know what

30:08

I'm saying? And the

30:10

dog community is hit

30:13

the hardest in this situation. Thank you.

30:15

Imagine being a dog in

30:17

this groomer. Yeah. Okay. So, but

30:19

I would say like a hairstylist

30:22

probably is the most

30:24

qualified besides a, uh,

30:26

uh, a full time

30:29

matchmaker. To do matchmaking

30:31

because, uh, they're, they're really getting the

30:33

tea from both people and knowing the

30:35

real truth about who they are, what

30:37

they're up to, what they're, what's stressing

30:39

them out. They can really, their personality,

30:42

they can match these people together. So I think

30:44

if there's anybody that's able to put you with

30:46

the one, it's going to be this, this

30:49

woman. Yeah. I was

30:51

like, I was like, what's to go for it, girl? You

30:54

give him my number. We'll see what happens.

30:56

Okay. Well, I want you to yes, and

30:58

this experience and by next week have some

31:00

updates for us. Balls in his court, honey.

31:02

Unless you just wait three more weeks. Balls

31:05

in his court. So unless I just wait and

31:07

go back in like three weeks and

31:10

be like, Oh, whatever happened to him,

31:12

what's his face? You

31:15

turn into his stalker. Hey,

31:17

I thought we were going to be together. Hey,

31:19

hey, I, I already planned our wedding and

31:21

she was going to officiate. You're like, here's

31:23

my number. If you even care. I'm

31:27

deleting Grindr. Did

31:29

you see, you know who Santa Con is? No.

31:32

Well, her veneer fell out. In

31:36

what? The air. In

31:38

the air. Oh,

31:40

damn. She was screaming or something and it fell

31:42

out during a TikTok. I think it was, I

31:45

think it was staged. Like it had already fallen

31:47

out. For sure. But, but, uh, but the TikTok

31:49

still goes off. I would, I would look forward

31:51

if I were you. Well, I was like, you

31:53

know, those Christmas nuts they sell at the mall.

31:56

No, you must. You. Yes, you do. Christmas

31:59

nuts. Midwest malls

32:01

always got them candy what

32:03

pecan oh Yeah,

32:05

and they and they sell them in like a

32:07

cone shape. Yeah. Yeah Those

32:10

are dangers you could lose a veneer eating one

32:12

of them. So just I thought that's what you're

32:15

gonna say Tanya can Tanya

32:19

can had some nuts it's possible. I didn't

32:21

we didn't I didn't get to the bottom of

32:23

it I can I can investigate further if

32:25

you'd like What's

32:28

her handle? I'll look it up. Is it pan

32:30

you can I think so. Yeah, I

32:32

believe I do believe Shit,

32:35

I filmed a video with her recently

32:39

What did you see the video of the

32:41

past escape the night contestants? Yeah,

32:43

I saw you lost well I'll

32:47

tell you more about it after after we

32:49

record because here's what I did I

32:52

I clicked the link to your tweet

32:55

and I said 15-minute video

32:57

we can get through this quickly

33:01

So then I just was progressing forward

33:03

seeing who was getting eliminated Then

33:06

I then I saw you lose I'll

33:09

tell you more about it after the

33:11

pod because rigamore is girl. No, no,

33:13

no I'll just tell you more after

33:15

the pod Okay,

33:20

well did you want to talk about Canada's drag race since we

33:22

have 60

33:25

no 120 seconds left sure are you

33:27

watching? Okay, what season is this Canada's

33:30

drag race season for For

33:32

I said, I think I said two weeks

33:34

ago when you weren't watching yet I said

33:36

one thing Canada's drag race is gonna do

33:40

It's inner new introduce a character in the

33:42

first episode who's definitely gonna be in the

33:44

final four that I'm gonna find very annoying

33:47

Okay, who is it? Venus

33:51

Venus actually, I think

33:53

Venus is given something good. What do you

33:55

mean? No,

33:57

it's too much for me far too much

34:00

for me. Too much. And then

34:02

this week's episode, baby. Oh, honey,

34:04

it was something. I had to

34:08

get to Twitter to see if people were as

34:11

mad as I was about a double shante not

34:13

being a double shante. And all

34:15

the kids were excited. They're like, yes, this

34:17

is what we deserve. The drama's staying in

34:19

the... Yeah, because they are consumers of reality

34:22

TV. And this being

34:29

the highest rated episode

34:31

of Drag Race Canada

34:34

ever has to do

34:36

with, you

34:39

know what, we are a generation

34:41

of Drag Race contestants that grew up

34:43

watching Drag Race drama who come on

34:45

the show and quote Drag Race and

34:47

want to be Drag Race legends. And

34:50

there's nothing wrong with that. But I'm just saying, like, this

34:52

is the ecosystem we live in now. Look at previous most

34:55

recent houses of regular Drag Race. And

34:58

how do you feel? And it

35:01

can be fun and entertaining. But at the same

35:03

time, like, you know, what's

35:05

more iconic as a contestant of

35:07

Drag Race to be iconic to

35:10

be somebody who's like, oh, my

35:12

God, they will win a

35:14

season of Drag Race, not somebody who's like,

35:16

oh, my God, that person is entertaining to

35:19

watch a reality TV and they should be

35:21

on MTV, the villains versus whatever. It's like,

35:23

I want some I want some queens on

35:25

Drag Race who who who are, I

35:28

don't know, America's next drag superstars. It's

35:31

funny that you say that. And I promise I'm

35:33

not really just trying to talk about Housewives. But

35:35

I've had this conversation with my Housewives friends a

35:37

lot to that, like the ecosystem we live in

35:40

now is that they bring on women

35:42

who have watched the show and are

35:44

affected by wanting to be memorable. And

35:47

so then they come in with these

35:49

like side, they're like side producing themselves

35:51

to try to be relevant. And

35:54

I just think in both instances on Drag

35:56

Race and in Housewives, like I'm never I

35:58

like can't get excited about that

36:00

person that's trying that hard to

36:04

I don't know yeah thing in an

36:06

in authentic way yeah with that said

36:08

I do love to be entertained and

36:11

well I love to laugh I

36:13

love to laugh and there

36:16

is something charming about some

36:18

Queens who are not maybe

36:23

they're not all-stars all winners quality

36:27

quite yet and that's

36:29

okay but but

36:31

the aura that I am getting from some

36:33

of these Queens is

36:35

really iconic in the way that

36:38

they they think they are serving

36:41

push the boots down the house

36:43

and the cunts in mama or

36:45

whatever I'm feeling my goat honey

36:47

when she said I'm feeling my

36:49

goats that was culture nothing like

36:52

I don't remember a phrase from

36:54

from pop culture hitting me that

36:56

hard and sticking with me in

36:58

my brain and never wanting to

37:00

leave ever again I'm feeling my

37:02

I was feeling my goats I was

37:05

feeling my goats I

37:07

was feeling my goat she

37:09

really was that is so I'm just like

37:14

you can't and the thing is

37:16

you can't you can't script that other

37:20

Queens trying to have iconic legendary

37:22

quotes will never be as close

37:24

to something like I was feeling

37:26

my goats I

37:29

agree anyway so

37:31

so with that I'm ready for Melinda

37:33

to be top three I'm

37:37

just like I'm just not I'm

37:39

not here for a

37:41

double chante on somebody who's

37:43

not capable of making

37:45

the final four if that makes

37:47

sense yeah no I get that

37:50

but but then again but I

37:52

actually know that I've given it

37:54

one second of thought I absolutely

37:56

disagree because that is so producers

37:59

saving people who can't lip-sync but

38:01

want them to be in the finale

38:03

and I'm not here for that. I would

38:05

much rather have somebody who deserves to be

38:07

saved regardless of if they're worthy of winning

38:10

the season be

38:12

saved because they earned the save not

38:14

because they should be in

38:16

the finale. Started an argument 10

38:19

minutes before the lip-sync. That

38:21

is I mean to me it's

38:23

like okay well they are guaranteeing

38:25

themselves another week of at

38:27

least some tension. Yeah. Who

38:30

do you want to win? My winner is

38:33

Denim. Yeah, I love.

38:35

I stan. I'm in. Yes.

38:39

Um, but I am enjoying a lot of

38:41

the cast. Uh, Venus,

38:44

who I know you said he didn't love.

38:46

I like. Um, who

38:50

else do I love? Some of

38:52

these people I don't really remember

38:54

who's who to be honest. I

38:59

think kitten Kaboodle is kind of bringing

39:01

it but um, I

39:05

like Nira Knuth. Nira is

39:07

a daughter of a friend.

39:11

I wanted her I was glad I thought she

39:13

won the lip-sync and I was glad she stayed.

39:15

I'm very pleased to see that she is like

39:17

I thought her look wasn't even in the bottom.

39:19

I thought her look was not in the bottom

39:21

that week for the design challenge. Like that looked

39:23

like a it looked like a

39:25

made look and it looked like a look which is

39:27

not to say the same for some of these other

39:30

girls. I think it

39:32

was um, yeah I don't

39:34

know. Anyway I'm enjoying the

39:36

season and

39:38

um, yeah

39:42

I think it's I think if

39:44

you're not watching it right now the twist is

39:46

actually I think really enjoyable and and

39:49

it is it is I think the

39:52

perfect amount of control given to the

39:55

to the the Queen so that there

39:57

is some shit stirring and alliances ish.

40:01

I mean the the untucked of episode

40:03

4 where where a queen is like

40:05

don't save me We'll settle this at

40:07

the lip sync. I was like this

40:09

is This is exactly what

40:11

they want to happen and it was it

40:14

was delicious as a viewer It

40:17

was it was chaos. Yes, and I

40:19

liked it with that said Yeah,

40:21

denim is my number one from the get and

40:23

I can see denim winning the entire thing Candace

40:26

drag race has not had a winner like denim

40:28

before and I think it's It's

40:33
