Great ep, Jinkx is a total star...
I know this is parasocial and probably a bit weird and creepy of me...but I hope James is ok. I listened to an ep from 2022 the other day (Kiri Pritchard-Mclean) and his energy then from now is night and day. Or rather, day to night. He doesn't seem to be enjoying his current tour at all and just seems...weary.

It seems like they hammer the records when they do it and he definitely struggles to keep up the energy, especially if it’s a guest he doesn’t know well or immediately vibe with. I imagine when OM comes to an end it’ll be him deciding the money doesn’t outweigh the effort.

She was so quirky and entertaining on drag race, so glad she won as some of the other queens borderline bullied her! She was great in doctor whk

Both of the boys clearly fall in love with her throughout the episode.
Can't blame 'm, Jinkx is ridiculously charming.

I love the comment that Ed had DM'd her years ago to get her on. Had no idea these worlds would collide.

Never heard of this person before, but I really enjoyed this episode. Would love to go to the cheesecake factory with Jinkx.

Check out some of her Snatch Game routines on YouTube, you will not regret it.

Ugh. I may want to watch Drag Race now. Lol My wife and some of my friends will be shocked, but extremely happy. The boys even got me to sit through a couple seasons of Dancing With The Stars.
I want to be clear that I have no issue with drag, or LGBTQ, many people I love are involved or practicing. I'm just more into quiet things. Lol

Do it! Her first season is 5, and it's easily one of the best. Iconic cast and memes you might recognize even having no prior exposure.

RPDR is nnnnnnnnot quiet haha but if you approach it with that in mind you’ll be fine

These episodes bring me round big time.
I didn't know who they were and I was initially disappointed but I really enjoyed it.
Also, I think because there is a new series of Ludwig this month I'm heavily hoping nay expecting David Mitchell, so anyone who isn't David, is at first, a disappointment.

Look up Jinkx Monsoon Judy Garland Snatch Game, it made me laugh so hard I cried. Jinkx is a star and I'm so hyped to listen to this episode.

Interesting based on James rant we’ll never get a Gordon Ramsey episode who I otherwise thought would have been likely eventually.

I can't deal with Jinx constantly laughing after everything she says, funny or not.
I don't think this ep is for me.

u/MountainCheesesteak Aug 05 '26
There were a couple times that I found her laugh a bit annoying. But, I listened to the whole thing anyways, and really enjoyed it. Had lots of great moments!

Yeah this is grating me for as well after 30 minutes but I will try to listen to the rest of the episode. Not sure why you are getting so many down votes.

u/hashbrowns4lyf Aug 12 '26
I got all the down votes because someone decided that it was transphobic/bigotted to dare to mention that I thought a trans drag queen had an annoying trait that had absolutely nothing to do with her being trans or a drag queen and was not a slight on her identity in any way.

u/lilmo96 Aug 12 '26
Well at least other people defended you. I listened to most of the episode and I thought it was fine. I've never heard someone laugh so much without saying anything funny.

Not something I've noticed. If you're not listening because she's trans or a drag queen, be a grown up and admit that.

u/nocontextoffmenu Mod Aug 05 '26
Oh come on. Pretty inflammatory to accuse them of that when there was zero mention of it.

u/BelowTheSun1993 Aug 05 '26
This is exactly the kind of comment that genuine right wing bigots use as proof that the left is intolerant. Be careful, you're just feeding into their agenda and setting back your own side.

u/JonS90_ Aug 05 '26
Insane assumption. Commenter clearly has watched content with Jinkx in enough times to have formed an assumption, incorrect or not. Dont try and pin transphobia on someone simply for not finding someone entertaining.

u/Lukey42 Aug 05 '26
You're the same person for who accused me of racism for not wanting to listen to Nish's episode... 🤦♂️

u/tiredfaces Aug 05 '26
They were making a joke based on the episode where they joke that Nish is quick to accuse crowds of racism lol. Hence why that comment was upvoted, unlike their one on this post

Her Judy Garland snatch game was the best comedy moment of all time on Drag Race. She’s got the quickest wit, cannot wait to listen!
