Hello. Hello listeners.

1:53

Hello listeners. Hello

1:56

to all of the people who are listening.

1:58

Hello to those listeners. listening my

2:01

little listeners my

2:04

little glistening glistener glisteners do

2:07

you hear what I hear said

2:11

the little lamb to the shepherd boy

2:13

send the lamb or said the

2:16

lamb I think I

2:19

think the lamb said it and send

2:22

no I am oh the

2:24

lamb was all it's a talking lamb is

2:26

all do you hear what I hear that

2:28

is it's giving Pentatonix

2:32

that song actually some Christmas songs

2:35

are so Pentatonix it's like okay

2:37

okay well hold on okay

2:40

wait so first okay let's break it

2:42

down break it down everything

2:44

can talk in this song first of all

2:47

yeah and everything can hear first of

2:49

all the night wind is all huh

2:51

little lamb do you see what I

2:53

see so apparently the night wind

2:56

has eyes and ears and a mouth

2:59

okay well what that thrussy do what

3:02

that was so so then well you know oh if

3:04

you in in many ways the tornado

3:11

is like a flashlight the

3:13

wind is its own turbulent

3:16

tunnel I think if you

3:18

were to be laying down

3:20

boner up and

3:24

and a tornado came a tornado

3:28

flew around the room yes

3:30

it's giving it's giving very

3:32

natural flesh light is

3:35

a tornado earth's flesh light something

3:38

to consider all right so

3:41

then the little lamb says the little boy

3:43

mm-hmm do

3:46

you hear what I hear the

3:49

lamb said it to the boy so the

3:51

word first the wind said do you see

3:53

what I see is a lamb the lamb

3:55

then sent to the boy do you hear

3:57

what I hear yes so the lamb is

3:59

saying I heard from the wind

4:01

to look at something and so he's saying

4:04

this is the longest game of telephone ever

4:06

Well, not that long but it is essentially again.

4:08

Well, it's the end are we at the end

4:11

Is that the end? No bitch the lamb talks

4:13

to the shepherd boy the shepherd boy talks to

4:15

the king the mighty king And

4:19

your palace warm mighty king. Hey

4:22

speaking of war He's all buttering

4:24

him up. He said okay your

4:26

palace. Oh You

4:29

have fire oh wait and then

4:31

the king says to the people everywhere Listen

4:34

to what I say pray for peace

4:36

people everywhere So

4:39

it's a story about peace but

4:41

the wind wants peace I don't

4:44

know why the wind just didn't talk to the king in the

4:46

first place He had to get a lamb to do the bidding

4:49

to get a boy to do the bidding Well

4:51

humans don't humans historically do not

4:53

listen to nature You know

4:56

who is connected to nature? lamb

5:00

Nature lamb is nature lamb is part of

5:02

nature while humans are part of nature But

5:04

we've we're so far detached

5:06

from nature that we need lambs to be speaking

5:08

on behalf of winds to be speaking on behalf

5:11

of So

5:14

what happened what happened did they did the people listen

5:16

to the king I They

5:19

asked them this child this

5:21

child Which

5:24

child the child probably

5:27

so the child took all of the

5:30

credit for up from the lamb and

5:33

No, the wind the wind was just like the

5:36

wind They're

5:39

all singing about Jesus no

5:43

Why you think the wind cares

5:45

about Jesus Jesus? Shut

5:48

up. This is solely a human

5:51

Predicament, okay, we

5:53

have created, you know our

5:56

own fantasies lores and religions

5:59

that do not even think

6:01

about that. Wind is not even considering. Get

6:03

out of here. You know

6:05

how, speaking of Jesus, you

6:07

know how with the

6:10

story of Jesus born in the shed. You

6:16

know what, Christians, I have

6:18

a bone to pick. Hold on, wait. There

6:20

was no room in the inn, so Jesus

6:22

was born in a stable. Right.

6:26

So you really think back then nobody

6:28

was just like giving up their room to

6:30

a pregnant woman? No, because

6:32

you know what? Because these days, nowadays, I

6:34

bet nobody would be giving up their room

6:36

to a pregnant woman. But I thought back

6:38

then people would have been like, okay, you

6:40

take it. We'll sleep with the cows. Well,

6:43

the inn, a

6:46

birth back yonder, honey, mess.

6:49

The inn, the inn, they

6:51

were not including charges for cleaning, they

6:54

were not including charges for, you

6:56

know, what was going on back then? No,

7:00

if somebody came in and they were like, oh,

7:02

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, like contracting.

7:04

You'd be like, I actually don't want you to...

7:08

Why? It's

7:10

giving mess, it's giving placenta,

7:12

it's giving goops, gobs, blood,

7:16

and honestly, a lot of, back

7:19

in ye oldie time,

7:21

it's only in recent times when

7:25

the mother would even live. And

7:27

so like, this thing

7:30

juicing everywhere, it's like,

7:32

uh-uh, you gotta be out in this

7:34

stable because the straw, the hay is

7:36

going to soak. Yeah,

7:39

I bet the rooms... First

7:41

of all, the hay is probably great

7:43

for sopping up. That's what I'm saying.

7:45

Placenta, et cetera. What did Latrice say?

7:47

Latrice says, Jesus is a biscuit. Yes,

7:50

let him sop you up. Let him

7:52

sop you up. I'm

7:54

sure the

7:57

inn probably had hay beds to begin with. I

8:00

have no California king. You

8:02

know, I'm not really

8:04

even convinced the story... Pray, pray

8:07

for peace. Oh, people everywhere. Oh,

8:10

big words coming from the king. You

8:13

know who has the power to create peace? Not

8:16

the peasants, the king. And

8:18

you know who has the power to create some

8:21

type of destruction? Not the peasants, the king. So,

8:23

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. King, don't

8:25

be coming up to me telling me I need

8:27

to be peaceful. King, you're the one probably leading

8:30

war. Hello.

8:33

Also, first of all, do you know what

8:35

the king said to the people everywhere? He

8:38

said, pray for peace. It's giving thoughts and

8:40

prayers. Yeah, well... Thoughts

8:42

and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Were

8:45

people praying back then? To

8:47

who? They didn't know about God, did

8:49

they? Whoa. Well,

8:52

I guess they knew about God, but then maybe they were

8:54

like... Then they were only recently

8:57

introduced to Jesus. They knew about God before Jesus

8:59

and then they were like, God has a son.

9:02

Here he is born in his stable.

9:05

Okay, if that were a new concept

9:07

back then, if everyone was vibing with

9:10

God, quote-unquote, but then somebody was like...

9:12

For the very first time ever in history,

9:15

somebody goes, actually, I'm

9:17

the literal son of God. Nobody

9:20

had ever claimed to be the son of

9:22

God, like, God's offspring. That would be kind

9:24

of a gag. That

9:26

would be kind of a like, what? All

9:29

right. In what way,

9:32

but like, okay. Here

9:34

he is. I would be gagging.

9:38

I would be gagging. If

9:41

you were like one city over, would you be like, you know what?

9:44

Let's bring some myrrh. Let's go over.

9:48

Does anybody have anything that we can bring? We

9:51

could gift them something, you freaking

9:53

sense. How did... I

9:56

mean, the wind must have been telling

9:58

everybody things very quickly because... Well,

10:01

the wind travels faster than anything. Oh,

10:03

not faster than sound or light.

10:07

Okay. I think. Don't quote

10:09

me on any of that. You're right, you're right, you're right,

10:11

you're right. Don't quote me on any

10:13

of that. What song is this

10:15

that we're... Babe, it's

10:17

Do You Hear What I Hear? You know who has a

10:20

good version of it? Don't say

10:22

Carrie Underwood. Carrie Underwood. I knew you were gonna

10:24

say that. You know what? Yesterday

10:26

I went through my entire festive

10:28

playlist. And you deleted Carrie Underwood?

10:30

And I... well, some,

10:33

yeah. I went through and I

10:35

sorted by title so that I could

10:38

see, okay, I have 15 silent nights,

10:40

let's trim the fat. Let's say maybe

10:42

we don't need, you know, the Glee

10:44

version. Didn't I tell you

10:46

when my ex and I had an oh

10:48

holy night off? It

10:51

was very that. We queued up.

10:53

We organized by title. We played

10:55

every oh holy night in

10:57

our Spotify Christmas playlist and then we ranked them.

11:00

You say your ex, we did that, me

11:02

and you. Well, if you

11:04

and I did that, it was because I told you that I

11:07

did that with my ex. Oh,

11:09

wow, sloppy sex. Sloppy,

11:12

second. Not in a brief, not in a

11:14

brief. Sloppy

11:16

second. When I was home

11:19

celebrating Christmas early a couple

11:21

weeks ago, my dad

11:24

was playing all of his Christmas music

11:26

on like Pandora or something.

11:29

And I don't... he was somehow actually queuing songs, which

11:31

I didn't even think he could do on Pandora or

11:33

maybe he was just looking at YouTube videos. I don't

11:35

know. Anyway, he was very... he would play the song

11:37

and be like, oh, who can name this? He

11:41

loved a little game and he got so mad

11:43

when he put on the carry underwood version of

11:45

Do You Hear What I Hear? And he said,

11:47

who sings this in before it was even three

11:49

seconds in? You

11:51

know I got that. Yeah, no, I understand

11:54

that. The only two versions of Do

11:56

You Hear What I Hear that I have carry

11:58

underwood. I am. They're

12:01

both great. Yeah, Whitney Houston

12:04

rarely misses with a Christmas song. The difference

12:06

is the Whitney version has a question mark

12:08

at the end of the title. The Carrie

12:10

version does not. You know who has

12:12

a version of Do You Hear What I Hear That You Might

12:14

Enjoy? David

12:16

Archuleta. Jordan Sparks. Oh

12:18

my god, I was very close. I

12:20

was very close. You

12:23

were down the right path. Hey, did

12:25

you see that David Archuleta? This was in

12:27

no way intentional. But did you see the

12:29

David Archuleta video? That came with

12:31

a hickey? No. He

12:34

was on TikTok. He

12:37

stitched a TikTok that was going around

12:40

of him introducing the

12:42

opener, which was Lady Gaga. And this is

12:44

like a video clip from way back in

12:46

the day and it was going viral. The

12:48

opener of what? Well, the

12:50

implication of the video that was why it was

12:52

going viral was like, can you believe there was

12:54

a time when David Archuleta was

12:56

more famous than Lady Gaga? Lady Gaga

12:58

was opening for the experience at what

13:00

you know, blah, blah, blah. Lady

13:04

Gaga opened for the American Idol Top 10 tour.

13:07

Listen, so it was like a jingle ball

13:09

or something. I don't know what it was.

13:14

And so David Archuleta stitched it and was like,

13:16

let me give context to this because I think

13:18

everyone's thinking she opened for me or something. It

13:20

was like she was the opener for the event.

13:22

I don't know what it was. Anyway, he was

13:25

explaining and he was talking about how

13:28

she was incredible and she was like a star

13:30

from the very first second. And this was right

13:32

before Just Dance even blew up. It was like

13:34

it had come out, but it hadn't like

13:37

dominated the charts yet. She hadn't released any other songs.

13:40

And apparently she

13:43

gave him her number and

13:45

was like, you know what, let's wish if

13:47

you ever need anything. If

13:51

I'm remembering correctly, she was like, if you

13:53

need to go shopping, we

13:56

could like wanting to

13:58

help him with his style choices. are

14:00

like, you know, blah, blah, blah. And

14:03

he also said that once he

14:05

got a butt dial from her and

14:09

she left a voicemail and it was in the

14:11

middle of the night like a two minute long

14:13

voicemail and he woke up the next morning and

14:15

had like a missed call and a voicemail that

14:17

was obviously clearly a butt dial and he

14:21

ended the TikTok with, and Gaga if you're out there,

14:23

I would love to take a shot. In

14:26

earnest he goes, I would love to go shopping

14:28

some time or hang out or I don't know

14:30

or, and I thought, oh, this is all so

14:33

important to me. This is like the perfect intersection

14:35

of what I care about. This

14:37

is a Venn diagram for you.

14:39

Yeah. And in another world, Gaga would

14:41

reply, but I feel like, um, she's, that's

14:44

just not the type of celebrity she is

14:46

currently. She would not stitch a

14:48

David Archuleta conversation. She

14:51

should, she should, she should, she

14:53

could, she would, but I don't

14:55

think she will, but who

14:59

do you think gave him a hickey a couple of

15:01

weeks ago? Hopefully a man. Was it you?

15:04

Uh, no. Who is, I'm not,

15:06

I'm not, I'm not trying

15:09

to give a hickey ever. I'm not

15:11

trying to give or get both

15:14

either. I'm not trying to give or get,

15:16

but I think, um, you're, you're of course,

15:19

of course, of course, you're

15:21

of course referencing. He posted a TikTok that

15:23

he was like at a CVS and somebody

15:26

who worked there told them like, get some

15:28

green before you put foundation on over it.

15:30

Like, is that what you're talking about?

15:32

Yeah. He was off. Shout out to the girl ads

15:35

at the OEO CVS. You know what? I

15:38

didn't know that. I thought that, you know

15:40

what, let me write that down, but who's

15:42

getting a hickey? I haven't gotten a hickey

15:44

since I'm

15:47

not even trying to get one. I'm

15:49

trying to give one. I like,

15:52

if somebody's lingering around my neck doing

15:54

stuff, I'm all, I'm

15:57

all moving my head. Yeah. Scram. Okay,

16:00

well, yeah It's

16:03

it's never a surprise Like

16:05

once you know what sucking feels like

16:07

on your neck Aren't you like

16:10

incredibly aware like don't do that because I might

16:12

get a hickey. It's strange that

16:14

I'm not in Oh drunk people people

16:16

are drunk sometimes in like

16:18

unaware, I guess maybe Sighing

16:20

and slurping and no, I think

16:23

anybody I don't think

16:25

you can accidentally give a hickey You

16:27

can actually get a hickey, but

16:29

I don't think you can actually get one people

16:32

a hickey from Kaneki. They're Are

16:36

you quote increased? Yes a hickey

16:38

from kaneki. That's uh, it's a

16:42

What is that a saying and is that a

16:44

line from the film yeah, it's

16:47

uh, it's like his

16:49

signature Oh, well, what's

16:52

yours? Uh

Are we gonna talk about- Are we gonna talk about-

21:12

My new juicer? Yes, we'll talk about my new juicer. Is

21:14

that what you were gonna ask? No! Are

21:17

you juicing? Well, I

21:19

got a new juicer for Christmas. Juicing?

21:23

Oh, it's so fun. Juicing, like,

21:25

what are you juicing? Fruits, veggies,

21:27

roots? Yeah, all.

21:31

I'm making green juice.

21:34

Okay, what's the green? It's

21:37

like green apple, celery, spinach,

21:40

cucumber. Did

21:42

I say celery? Yum. Yep.

21:45

Okay, sounds good. I'm also making some- When

21:47

you come visit, I'll make you some juice.

21:49

I also made some good orange juice and

21:52

some grapefruit juice. I

21:54

would try that. Yeah, it's delicious. My

21:58

sister-in-law was all, I don't know. August

24:00

2024? Only

24:03

if it's a trio

24:05

collab, me, him and

24:08

Senate twink. I

24:11

think get them in a room together.

24:13

Yeah, they've probably been in a room together. In

24:16

the room where it happened? Sure.

24:21

Yeah, what did you think of the

24:23

George Santos interview? Yeah,

24:25

I don't know. It's like, yeah, you're exactly right.

24:28

She tried to deadpan to the camera a few

24:30

times and be like, stop inviting him to stuff.

24:32

And I'm like, babe, you did it first. With

24:35

that said, anybody that's like,

24:37

um, how are we platforming him? Babe,

24:41

he was an elected official. He's

24:43

been platformed, you know, like, don't

24:46

act like Z-Way is

24:48

the ultimate platform when he

24:50

was already voting on things

24:52

that are tax funded. Like,

24:54

he's already been platformed. Yeah,

24:58

I don't know. So hopefully now

25:00

he'll slowly disappear to prison. Well,

25:03

he said in it that he's probably

25:05

gonna run for something again someday and it's not

25:07

the last we'll see of him. And, you know,

25:11

I guess I didn't realize he's your age. What?

25:15

How old did he say he was? 35. I'm 34, thank you. You're

25:20

almost. Right. So

25:22

are we the same age? I'm

25:25

not sure. Yeah, well he's

25:27

born in 88. See, and

25:30

there you have a... damn.

25:34

Well, yeah.

25:38

I mean, I will say this, actually.

25:41

Say it. Don't spray it. When

25:45

she said... the

25:47

whole time he was very like, um,

25:51

if there's one thing I'm gonna do

25:53

is expose the corruption of DC and

25:57

Republicans, the Democrats alike, are all... scams

26:01

and she goes, name names.

26:04

And he's, it seems for

26:06

a second he's not gonna, and then she tries, okay, let me

26:08

name a name and you say yes or no. He

26:11

really played the game. She

26:13

named like 10 names and he said yes

26:15

and no to different names. And so I'm

26:17

thinking, my main takeaway from this is, oh,

26:20

this is somebody who might

26:22

actually long term be

26:26

able to have a lasting

26:28

impact on the culture of DC. If

26:33

he recklessly exposes all of

26:36

the other people who

26:38

are also scammers just like him. Like, yeah, it's

26:40

bad he's a scammer, but if he's going to

26:43

take down 10 politicians

26:45

with him, I

26:47

would say that's like not the worst

26:49

outcome of all of this. Joanne

26:52

the scammer. Whatever happened

26:54

to Joanne the scammer? I don't

26:56

know. Do for a comeback, write that down. Hey,

27:02

okay, yeah, we should talk about the US Senate

27:06

experiencing its first bottom. That's

27:09

not the first bottom in the Senate and

27:11

you know it. Thank you, yes, you're so

27:13

right. Didn't you visit the Capitol? I

27:16

was not in that room. I was not in that room,

27:18

no. Room of one zone. What?

27:23

A room of one's own. A

27:25

room of one's own? Sure,

27:28

I don't even, are you

27:30

wrapping? You

27:33

don't know a room of one's own

27:35

by Virginia Woolf? Wow, I guess you

27:37

would eat women. No, women. So

27:41

there they were, some

27:44

congressional staff are getting

27:46

plowed in the Senate.

27:51

What was the room called? The plowing

27:53

room. The plowing room. Now

27:56

listen, I didn't take the bait all weekend.

27:58

I didn't click. People sent

28:00

me memes, people sent me

28:03

pics. I was like, I

28:05

don't care. Well,

28:08

I think the most jarring thing about this, okay,

28:12

so there was this guy who is, isn't

28:15

he denying it? No,

28:17

how could he? His face is in it. Oh.

28:21

Did you watch the video? I told you I didn't take the bait.

28:24

Oh, well, I did catch the video. What was

28:26

he doing? Who was he sleeping

28:28

with? Well, okay,

28:30

so the day it all came out,

28:32

apparently he put this

28:35

video on his close friends

28:37

on Instagram. Now

28:40

to the average listener, if you're maybe

28:42

a straight person, who's on your close

28:45

friends? Perhaps your close friends. But

28:47

for a gay person, your

28:49

close friends is every person you've ever

28:51

met. And every person

28:53

that you haven't met, but you would like to

28:56

sleep with. Yes. And

28:59

so to put your own illegal

29:02

sex tape. Why was

29:04

it illegal? Well, I

29:06

don't know if it was illegal. You can't have

29:08

sex in a room. I

29:11

don't know if it was illegal, you're so right. It may

29:13

have just been against the

29:15

rule. The law. Was

29:19

it illegal? Who knows? But was it against

29:22

the law? Who knows?

29:25

When he said barely legal. What?

29:33

You meant illegal. Illegal.

29:35

Barely illegal. Okay,

29:38

so he posted it on close friends.

29:40

It got screened, grabbed and whatnot. And

29:42

then it left

29:44

his orbit. And I think the biggest takeaway

29:46

here is baby, there

29:50

is no such thing as privacy. If

29:53

you are sharing your act with anybody

29:56

else. the

30:01

act, it will

30:03

seep out. If you ever

30:05

send content to somebody, expect that

30:07

it will be on the front page of anything. If

30:10

you ever want to share your dirty little whatever,

30:13

your little gig,

30:15

hold your phone in

30:18

front of somebody's face to show them. Even

30:24

sending it to somebody else, are you

30:26

not just assuming everybody will screen grab

30:28

everything that you've ever sent ever? Do

30:30

you not have that assumption? They

30:34

said, I'm reading this, apparently

30:36

somebody said this whole situation

30:39

is very strange because he's

30:42

been doing questionable stuff on social media the

30:44

whole time. Yeah, I've

30:46

seen screenshots and there's like readers

30:48

with him with like other staffers

30:51

and he's like resisting the urge

30:53

to suck representative blowblas delicious fingers

30:55

and that's the caption on the

30:57

content. There's a there's a

30:59

representative resting his hand on the

31:01

back of his chair and this

31:04

is pictured me trying to resist

31:06

urge to suck on representative Sorenson's

31:08

gorgeous finger. And let

31:10

me say this, I saw the pictures I looked at the

31:12

fingers. Not I'm

31:15

not gagging. I could

31:18

I mean, I don't. Yeah,

31:20

I don't think I don't. The

31:23

way his hands positioned. I don't want

31:26

to suckle them pigs. It's it. You

31:28

know what? I've seen hands like that before. The

31:31

hands look swollen. You know what? When

31:33

a when an older man has swollen

31:35

fingers. That's what those fingers

31:37

look like. Is that what you was thinking

31:39

about? No, those

31:44

hands were small. Those hands

31:47

fragile. Even they're

31:49

never broken. I

31:52

don't know what I don't really remember what the

31:55

words were. But those hands those hands were swollen.

32:00

your hands why is he trying to suck

32:02

on them they are not yours they

32:04

are my own they

32:07

are my own I

32:10

don't know so

32:13

so day one of the video

32:15

being dropped everyone was very we

32:19

must find the DC top and

32:22

I think they found him come

32:24

on DC top he could be

32:26

versed don't drag him into that well

32:29

he was he was doing

32:31

the tapping in the summer

32:33

I mean my my biggest takeaway

32:36

my initial gut reaction to that

32:38

video was oh my god so

32:40

much overhead lighting like who's having

32:42

who's having that much I

32:47

don't know it felt so bright in

32:49

that room who's having sex in a

32:51

very very bright bright room oh yeah

32:54

not you with your lasek no

32:56

oh I couldn't take it I

32:59

can't I'd have to have sunglasses on I

33:01

really would for my

33:03

own sanity no you think they leave

33:05

those lights on in that room at

33:08

all times and waste a taxpayer dollars

33:11

also you're telling me there's

33:14

not a c-span camera to anywhere up

33:16

in that gig not even a security

33:19

cam who was I don't know was

33:21

the top filming or was the camera

33:23

propped he was the

33:25

bottom was leaned over the ledge

33:27

which apparently is the

33:30

exact location that Amy Klobuchar

33:33

since that says my blizzard

33:37

apparently that's her seat and

33:39

and leaning over

33:41

it facing the the entire

33:43

room and the top is

33:46

behind perhaps

33:48

doggy style and

33:51

he's holding a phone filming

33:54

downward so you see the

33:57

point of entry and

33:59

then he said he spans the

34:01

room so you can really get the depth

34:04

of the room in a room

34:07

of one's own. Yes. Yeah.

34:11

You're welcome. For

34:13

what? For what? For educating

34:15

you on literature. I

34:18

didn't catch any of that. Okay,

36:45

somebody that's something from somebody who's

36:47

pedestrian. a Midwestern themselves cilic us

36:50

right off the bat. I feel

36:52

a little bit like Tate Mcrae.

36:56

Okay so I was thinking about it and

36:58

I thought you know I really did I've

37:00

been a name the and I know Rose

37:02

by any other name and her I really

37:04

did. I would know when our he was

37:07

37:11

Ari until break free So nothing that. T.

37:13

Mcrae has released yeah, and

37:15

this Renaissance has got me

37:17

gagged. If

37:19

something spills over, maybe

37:21

I'll listen. but so

37:24

far. Not. So

37:26

bad will see the Canadian.

37:28

So following in the footsteps

37:30

of many greets Snide Twins

37:32

Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Drake,

37:35

Color. Depth Sense. Things. You

37:37

think he does all of those

37:39

ah Brooklyn Heights? Yes Yes Ah

37:41

okay the odds on talk about

37:43

say because we gotta talk about

37:45

that. We have to talk about.

37:47

I'll give you two minutes. Go.

37:51

Up about Melinda? I'm not

37:53

here for the Melinda Burger

37:56

Sands. Oh well, they do.

37:58

Off the boat. This

38:00

shit is going one direction.

38:03

Did. You think you think she can

38:05

win. Before.

38:07

We all. Something. Tells

38:10

me. Cities. Seats at

38:12

least top four. Know guy,

38:14

I'm feeling it in my bones.

38:16

Yeah, I look at pass contestants

38:18

that have made it to the

38:21

top force. You know what? We've

38:23

had croupier appearances and there's something

38:25

delicious about the experience of an

38:27

underdog series. But I'll say it

38:29

is. You know that I we

38:31

were. Ah, They.

38:34

Could just very have been snatched

38:36

games where where the editing has.

38:39

Desperately tried to convince me somebody

38:41

is funny. Just. To give

38:43

them a redemption when this was not

38:45

one of them. The It

38:47

was a successful sets games amidst

38:49

very unsuccessful Smith's Nes games. And

38:52

so I thought. You know what?

38:54

I'm. I'm a little convinced this was

38:57

a redemption. I knew that from the

38:59

second they did the many towns which

39:01

was the reading challenge and the fact

39:04

that they only showed each queen do

39:06

roughly one read because there were probably

39:08

not that many good ones. I just

39:10

knew it was gonna be not the

39:13

snatch game for me. I

39:15

don't think I didn't think

39:17

anybody was really successful. Yeah,

39:19

you know what? I'm. Sit.

39:22

That once he starts hitting I

39:25

of a looked at how they

39:27

are presenting queens via editing. It's

39:29

hard not says it's hard not

39:31

to resent. It's a little and

39:33

I am currently feeling it with

39:35

my number one pick of the

39:37

season. That I'm. I

39:40

just feel because because this episode did

39:42

two things that and to any trained

39:44

eye of the drag race France as

39:46

they will be off put vyvanse they

39:48

did two things with that of number

39:50

one. They try to tell me they

39:52

that Denim was the winner of the

39:54

Reading Talons. With. Ah

39:57

okay I guess. half

39:59

when Denim was the

40:01

only one they showed like I think there

40:03

were like three of them that they showed

40:06

do more than one read Almost everybody had

40:08

only one read which means so what I'm

40:10

saying is they're they are presenting This is

40:12

the winner of the reading challenge Okay Maybe

40:15

I guess in the same episode as presenting

40:17

them as safe from the snatch game when

40:19

they've only showed maybe one or two responses

40:21

that were neutral not bombing but neutral and

40:24

Baby that that I said but but

40:26

they are they're only going to be

40:29

showing the best of the best they want

40:31

They want this they want everyone to have they want

40:33

everyone to be the best snatch game ever So they're

40:35

gonna show the funniest things that they possibly said or

40:37

did So so for

40:39

them to show no bombing but only

40:41

neutral to two responses from denim

40:44

in the in the snatch game and

40:46

then Coming out of the snatch game denim

40:48

saying How do we feel

40:51

like clearly nervous? They

40:53

they do not want the viewers to

40:55

think denim is not funny But in

40:57

the same episode where denim was safe

40:59

and had no bombing answers on the

41:02

snatch game, but was nervous Why

41:04

were they nervous? Gave

41:06

us the the win for the reading challenge

41:08

They said denim is funny But but we're

41:10

not gonna talk about it though and we're

41:12

not gonna show when they were or when

41:15

they weren't Oh, they're we're just gonna glide

41:17

on by that is a a winner's edit

41:19

for a not funny Queen, which is fine

41:22

You don't have to be clever witty to be a

41:24

winner in my book. In fact, denim is my number one

41:26

pick for the season But

41:28

like seeing the editing play

41:30

out right before my eyes. I'm like

41:33

girl like It's

41:35

okay to bomb the snatch game It's

41:37

okay, that's a hard challenge, but don't

41:39

try to tell me that they were

41:41

at least neutrally safe I'm

41:44

not buying it babe. I said

41:46

verbatim what you said after Sasha

41:48

Colby did the Snatch

41:50

game last season in US. It's like like

41:52

I like it. This is not being a

41:54

hater I am a stand of both Sasha

41:57

and and yeah any queen that wants to

41:59

be vulnerable on TV, bitch I am a

42:01

fan. But the editing is what really

42:04

grinds my gears because it's like I'm not

42:06

dumb, don't act like uh,

42:09

they're trying to really skate

42:13

people through and I'm like don't, they can

42:15

be bad at things and still be an

42:17

incredible drag queen. It's fun. Listen,

42:19

I think that's just the circumstance we're

42:21

in now. And like

42:23

I said, I think it's really visible

42:25

in challenges like Snatch Game and like

42:27

the reading challenge when everybody

42:30

only gets one read and they're not even

42:33

funny. I believe Denim won the reading

42:35

challenge. My thought process is

42:37

that there were a lot of bad reads.

42:41

Yes, yes. Also

42:45

Jesus not even being in the top is

42:48

it was disrespectful

42:51

to the viewers. We're not dumb,

42:53

we were laughing. You

42:55

were laughing. I don't know. They

42:57

included footage of everyone laughing. And

43:00

yet not even in the top. Meanwhile,

43:02

Tiger King, I wasn't laughing. Not that

43:04

it was bad or. Oh, I thought

43:06

Tiger King was so bad. Horrible in

43:09

fact. I just, it

43:11

was, I don't think that the Tiger

43:13

King was any worse than any of the

43:15

other people who were bombing, which was most

43:17

of the queens, which I'm still, I'm not

43:19

being disrespectful. I'm just spade to spade reading

43:22

the read. Jesus

43:25

should have been in the top. So it

43:27

was just weird. It

43:29

was just weird to me. And then they,

43:31

they, the only thing they show in the

43:33

untucked is Jesus

43:35

saying, what, so what are y'all, what's

43:37

the, what happened out there? Glide

43:40

and skip right over any type of

43:43

possible conversation

43:46

about Jesus should have been in the top. We're not

43:48

going to hear any of that because that would only

43:50

affirm what all of us are thinking. Don't you think

43:52

Jesus should have been in the top? Out

43:55

of that group, out of that group. Yeah, probably. The Funny

43:57

thing is, I just, I Really don't remember a lot. Lot

44:00

of it because I didn't think much of

44:02

it was funny. If I'm being on his,

44:04

that's fine. Right?

44:07

Where can I thought? no.

44:11

I am still think until gag

44:13

and as the season I still

44:15

think Canada's Drag Race This season

44:18

of Canada's Gregory's is so fun

44:20

and good and silly and interesting

44:22

and or I'm. On

44:26

Polished. In a good

44:28

way. Meaning. Meaning to

44:30

we it as it feels like an

44:32

old drag race us seasons but when

44:35

U S was finding it's editing footing

44:37

so like is still have These are

44:39

these queens that are bringing what. What

44:42

they do without being super

44:44

like I. Polished.

44:47

Which is not a bad thing. Just like what

44:49

they do and who they are. With

44:52

late understanding of how to present the

44:55

so it pacing was which I think

44:57

it's it has been fun to watch.

44:59

yeah I don't joining. I think I

45:01

just get wrapped into the though like.

45:04

The. Commentary that I see online that

45:07

sykes. Great tv, Great Tv. Great Tv

45:09

And I'm like babe, don't say greed

45:11

Tv like We all have the same

45:13

universal idea of what makes great tv.

45:15

like yeah, we talked about this before

45:17

like we you and I probably. You

45:21

especially don't want. Citing

45:23

and stuff. It

45:25

now when it's just feels like

45:27

it's for attention young as is

45:29

his eyes. We.

45:31

Talk about this. Like. It.

45:34

Is a class of drag race

45:36

fans becoming drag queens. Who who's

45:38

who's biggest point of reference of

45:40

have dragged his drag race and

45:42

so they will. Inherently.

45:45

Consciously were some got or unconsciously

45:47

ah. Emulate. who

45:50

right signs the brightest on drag race and

45:52

hussein's read up on targets people who play

45:54

the reality tv game and so then this

45:57

without even thinking it they played the reality

45:59

tv game before they

46:01

present their best drag. Yeah,

46:03

I think for me I would just

46:05

rather watch funny, talented

46:10

performers who are good at makeup and

46:14

have a unique perspective than watch people

46:16

fight. Then watch me. All

46:20
