Are you promoting Dinnerly to be more subversive than all the Hello Fresh shills? Is this another straight thing?
Mother is feeding us ❤
Letting Maddy host the Pit Stop is a bad idea. Production can be so controlling. I prefer to see his own show where he has full control.
I want her to do it for the coin lmao
Creative freedom for Maddy always please!
@@Edelara I thought I read somewhere that the WOW coin is not actually that great.
@@MishaFoominyeah Bob said purse first impressions actually paid better than the Pit Stop
@@MishaFoomin I think Pit Stop isn't produced by WOW. It's a Paramount production.
Irene wasn’t robbed - we were😢 She is so charismatic - I was dying at her reaction to the 40 inches.
Yes! She was giving playful shade and I really love that energy from the queens.
Yes!! I was devastated. I instantly loved her. I am so happy to see more of her
Does anyone thinks that Lux dislike Irene for that?
@@Rorza94 Playful shade. Well said.
@@MrPenetrosono that would be stupid and luxx is not a stupid girl🩷
Maddy is helping me cure my heterophobia. I’m thankful beyond words to my straight queen!
I know this is a joke, but I’m a gay guy whose best friends are straight and I think some of the younger people can get carried away with this sentiment
@@AFndjdj7373 I'm not criticizing you to start with, but not all queer people are you. Some have been so abused and destroyed by cishet people it's hard for them to connect or share relationships with straight people. Some, like me, are just so queer and unique that straight people can't digest us sometimes. And with how we are illegal in 70+ countries and we never will not deal with homophobia, transphobia, etc, we can tease or basically bully straight people together because we wouldn't have and, never will, do horrible things like they have done to us, try to kill us off like they have done to us, or anything like that. So queer people really don't get carried away with this idea, and the 0.01% that do don't matter or make a difference. And sometimes that's just how people heal.
@@G0ttmilk I get this, but why include all the straights into the homophobic category ? By being ""heterophobic"" to the extreme you may be basically doing (an ever so slightly little part of) what they did to you (ofc this is not the same but some straight ppl will take offense to it still). I don't get wanting "revenge" it's just not it, let's be better than those homophobic swines who hurt us in the past and let's not create a hostile atmosphere for people who genuinely want to be open minded to queer people. Also this is not a healthy way of healing because you're just pushing the hate to the other side. Have we learned nothing from wars
@@amaterasu3099 i think its not soo much about being hostile or hateful towards straight ppl . But more about choosing not to let them into my life. Or being extremly careful around them . Also choosing not to go into super-straight-oriented places , like a barber shop etc. Which by definition is phobic , which does not mean to be hateful , but be scared. And a lot of us Queer people are scared
@@amaterasu3099 Well sometimes it's not for you to get. Like I said we would never go to extremes like straight people. Teasing or words are not the same as having millions of youth, adults, and elders traumatized from wars and repeated attempts to kill us. And assuming every straight person or straight space is homophobic is safer than not. Once those spaces or people very easily show that they are not we opening accept them never insult them. And I'm not going to dictate how you are going to heal and sometimes the unhealthy parts of healing are just apart of it.
Maddy out here giving us what we want, but don't deserve.
Just like her runways....alien queen realness
Hey don't be so hard on yourself. You deserve to get what you want just as much as anybody else. You are loved.
On god
Irene absolutely *DESERVES* the Vanjie treatment, she needs a second chance!
with her fashion & her personality that we weren't able to witness on season 15? YES FOR SURE!
Yes it's obvious she will make great TV!
Her comeback is going to be epic af
yes! bring her back
Need miss Irene on season 16
Other UA-cam Drag Race channels be like: "Tell me, what motivated you to wear that wig, and in hindsight do you believe that's why you got sent home?"
Maddy: "Let's talk about your attempt to organize the queens in Seattle?"
Substance, that's why we love Maddy and Give it to Me Straight.
Maddy is asking the questions we never thought of but need to hear! That's why i love this show!
They 100% were mainly upset the backup dancers were getting a cut
@@DrRickySpanishactually theres a huge part left out of the story. The venue owner was charging 50 per ticket and they were sold out shows. On average the queens made 75 (100 at the end of the night) AFTER tip out. The dancers were getting paid in dust. AND they were getting screamed at and demeaned on the regular by the owner while he accused them of stealing even though he was stealing from them.
None of them were upset at dancers getting paid, they were upset that the owner was stealing from ALL of them.
Source: I'm this hoe bags stage manager 😅 we work a space themed show and even before rpdr she was making more than one night at the previous place. Super proud of her and all the other kids that stood up to the toxic work environment and trying to make things better
@@JayHendrixxthat's horrible the owner was stealing from them.
Maddy: "What are your talents in sex?"
Giving season 3 space acting challenge realness
Who you calling a Judy Jetson hooker?
PREPARE TO GAG ON MY ELEGANZA
hopefully with significantly less t-slurs
Giving low budget Twi’lek realness
@@ricardogrande1021put this quote in a museum
Irene: I always have a tummy ache for some reason
Irene, mere moments later: I don't drink water
In what should be a surprise to no one, Irene is such a well spoken, intelligent and entertaining Queen. We def were robbed. Thank you, again, Maddy for providing a platform so we get to know these queens properly. Honestly one of the best post-rpdr content out there
I think she robbed herself with the ice water bit. If you can't do the act in its entirety, you have to pivot for a different idea. We know they'll cut in with talking heads. Hope she'll return for an All Stars because I'd wager Irene is a fierce competitor!
@@kelseyjenna9248 It was more that the decision to send her home had already happened, so she wasnt upset about the bit failing she was upset about editors not trusting the audience enough to figure out why she went home (because tbh she probably didnt deserve to) and instead having talking heads and other editing choices that diminish her. Like they couldn't just stand by their own choice to send her home, they had to make all of us think that she was worse than she actually was. Thats not good for a queens mental health or career.
period!
Irene is amaaaaazing
@@feelingveryattackedrn5750I’ve never seen it put so succinctly and accurately. Thank you for this comment.
is it just me or Maddy looks really good with this wig
SO GOOD! I came to make the same comment. Slicked hair doesn't look flattering on hardly anyone yet it's gorgeous on Maddy!
LITERALLY THOUGH
What do you mean "wig"?
It grew from her scalp from that hair sponsorship she got lately wym 🧐🧐
@@danielmacerin1518 I felt that
Irene's comparison of queer people living outside the matrix and having to interact with people still living in it...I needed to hear that today!
The matrix was directed by two trans sisters, definitely a queer analogy. Also the red pill/ blue pill is supposed to be analogous to hormones/titty skittles.
@@maca3245lol. OK.
calling anything the matrix has been ruined for me by alt-right incels, even if irene means it in the complete opposite way lol
It makes so much sense
that's how I feel every single day on god
Maddy’s poker face kills me 😂💀I was damn-near dry heaving at Irene’s story about the lady training her at her job casually picking SKIN off her FEET and then camera cuts back to Maddy reacting like 😐
Every cut back to Maddy 😐 was top tier editing 😂
"Were your parents your first bullies?" Is such a funny way to ask if you get along with your parents or not lmao
i hope Maddy keeps using that one!
I met Irene at dragcon. She can have a conversation with ANYONE!!!! She laughs at your jokes, you laugh at hers, it's a good and memorable time all round. I suggest trying to see her and do a meet and greet.
I'm so happy that Maddy showed up with her real skin just for the most biological woman from Season 15 🤩
😂😂😂
I LOVE that the girls can be honest about the DR machine and their experience. It's the best thing about queens having their own channels.
It's always the best when the queens aren't fully owned by World of Wonder. They can actually be truly honest and real.
To Irene’s credit, she was one of my favorites in all the promo materials for Season 15 and after she left the season definitely felt lesser without her presence so she made a bigger impact than she thinks. I hope she gets another chance on the show if that’s something she wants.
Irene truly feels like the next Vanjie it’s not the last we’ve seen of her
You are delusional. Nothing Irene did left an impact on drag race as strongly as vanjie’s departure.
@@user-lp2nz7vq6bsure jan
@@user-lp2nz7vq6bthat part, bc I fux w Irene buuutttt then there's V A N J I E 💅🏿
They're also so wildly different that there's nothing to compare other than being on the show.
@user-lp2nz7vq6b I mean before she left all she did was "Miss Vanjie... Miss Vanjie... Miss... Vanjie..." which, while funny, is not incredibly impactful in the long run
@@user-lp2nz7vq6b uuum thanks convince yourself that’s a clever insult but what I meant was is she did leave an impact look how much screen time she got, she had great looks, shady yet sweet she would have been a great contestant. So, coming back isn’t out of the real of possibility.
I never want this show to end, it’s so good! GITMS is gonna become as much of a RPDR staple as The Pit Stop, mark my words
I'm already way more excited for new episodes of this show than The Pit Stop
@@ntp4003same, one week she didn't post I wanted to be like umm Madelyn where you at 🔫
The parting gifting and ensuing conversation was such a brilliant ending. Maddy is so impressive and I love how respectful this show is to each of its guests
Honestly the energy that Irene puts out doesn't personally resonate with me. But this interview and particularly that part and the conversation about her attempt at establishing a drag union made me really understood and respect her, even if she's not my favorite queen. Maddy's show really has this unique quality that makes things like that possible.
Maddy out here making, not only the best drag interview show on YT, but one of the best interview shows. Periodt. 🙏🙏🙏 Irene is a FANTASTIC guest!
Irene’s “you’re gonna get demonitized” has big “you’re gonna run my light bill up” energy.
LOL TKB standup flashbacks
8:50 is so poignant. Avoiding conflict because of people not knowing how to deescalate in a fun way, is such a great point. When you look at earlier seasons, particularly Season 6 and Season 9 really had moments that proved the value of this statement.
Drag Queens are PERFORMERS! The ability to deescalate (and in fact, escalate) in a fun way has produced some of the most hilarious and memorable moments of the series.
E.g.: "What do you do well....quickly." Does anyone else have moments that resonate with this point?
We were robbed of more of her possible interactions with Mistress 😔
@@wifey09 Omg can you imagine? Step aside Clove and Paprika. Mistress and Irene together, would have been in their own twin terror read a b*tch era. Loosey would have had no chance. Tu vey lo! Periodit!
“How was the floor?” 😂
every episode i wait for the guest to say “wow you really did your research,” and Irene really held it off until the parting gift! Maddy is truly amazing!
Irene so casually one-upping S*ju’s cyst with her fistula. We have no choice but to stan.
"my gender is hot, my sexuality is hot" irene just put my whole life into perspective with such force
irene defending bosco was such a goooood explanation of how she does her drag n love their bond
This has been my favorite episode. Maddy and Irene are unexpectedly a great duo. They Trixie'd and Katya'd very well with each other.
I feel like Irene and Katya could realllly chat it up 💀😭
Maddy please NEVER STOP DOING THESE INTERVIEWS OMG
Maddy always dresses for her guests which is awesome. And I love she had Irene on. Perfect combo. I want Irene back on.
I love it when Maddy finds rare wild Pokemon in their natural habitats!
I’m so thankful that Irene talked about fistula. I’ve been dealing with mine for 7 years and a lot of people don’t know what it is. Many think that I’m mispronouncing fissure. This is a representation that made me feel very warm and happy. Thank you for this 🙏🙏🙏
Who knew FFA and chicken science was such great preparation for a drag and talk show host career 🐣🎤💄
I don't know why but this episode just felt extra special. I can't tell if it's because they have similar personalities or the fact that I was so curious about Irene and now I know who she is and am obsessed or what but I couldn't stop smiling while watching this. If Irene were to do a UA-cam channel I would be one of the first people to subscribe.
The costumes are amazing too
'The duality of man'. I love how smart Maddy is!
Irene deserved so much better. SHE NEEDS A SECOND CHANCE
Maddy, just keeps it coming with the hits!!! Forget Pit Stop, WOW and MOM might have some competition!
When we get the Maddy Morphosis Network its over for WOW and MOM! It'll be the NPR of drag
Omg, Irene talking about her sexuality is so validating. I recently came out as queer for the same reason, it's about the person and not the parts! Irene is quickly becoming one of my comfort queens, I just love her.
About Bosco's bra&panties, i always thought the last one, the metallic one was THE BEST so it was kinda ironic that she was being read for it, cause this one was so good. Glad to know that Irene made such a nice one
How is it possible that every new episode, it just gets better?!?! 🎉
Gotdamn this is such a good show!!! Can we please give a round of applause for Maddy for doing extensive research on each guest! 👏
Maddy’s so damn funny. And so quick! I died at “Let Him use you”😂 Subscribed
As much as I love that I get to see Irene at Queer/Bar whenever I want, she really does deserve to get booked more out of state and internationally. Y'all are sleeping on a real talent! I definitely want to see her back on All Stars for a proper go at it (if that's what she wants of course,) because she'll make great TV and the fans will love her
Chef Boyardee could NEVER. Never change Maddy.
MY MOST REQUESTED QUEEN I LOVE IRENE SO MUCH
Not miss fame, MM and me all being poultry queens. Literally showed chickens and almost became a chicken farmer.
Am I remembering correctly that Utica is also into chickens?
rupaul's drag race: poultry vs the world incoming
I screamed when Irene brought up Miss Fame. Her mind is so quick.
Credit to the season 14 girls every time I hear Future Farmers of America abbreviated, I go "Facial Feminization... Augmentation? Assembly? Amplification?" Then I hear about chickens.
Contact Monet. She said she would get in drag to record an episode!
Honestly, the thing that always brings me back to Maddy is that she puts in the fucking WORK to know her guests. Watching each guest have a “Wow, you really did your research!” moment, or watching them react to her gifts the way Irene did here, is always so good. There are a lot of interview shows out there, but I don’t think there’s anyone who does it quite like Maddy and it’s really impressive.
Irene literally is so iconic. Like there HAS to be more that's coming for her. I sense something big! (In whatever way you want to interpret that) 💗💗✨️
I love that Maddy is giving these “early out” queens more respect than WOW presents even thought about giving them! They certainly deserve better than what they got on Drag Race!
Considering Irene's age, I think the live action Peter Pan movie that ignited her Twink obsession is the 2003 one, featuring a teenage Jeremy Sumpter.
I could definitely see how Irene's talent was actually funny and even I laughed a bit, but like she said once they did that edit she was done. I was surprised that so many people didnt realize the comedy in it but it is dry and thats very specific. not everyone is here for Maddy but she has a certain type of comedy
I couldn’t stop laughing. I thought it was amazing.
I think the problem with it (aside from the edits) is the fact that I can see this being soooo funny at a longer format where all the redundancy becomes super absurd and funny. But it wasn't good for a 1 min format and they cut it down even further. But I think her own show could've justified a bottom placement based on other talents, they didn't need to do her dirty with the edit
@@ecenbt yeah definitely agree!
Maddy this show is amazing. I can tell you really care about the queens and give them a platform to just speak freely is so refreshing to see. Also your banter with the queens keeps me entertained the whole way through. Thank you for the effort and time you give!
as a lowly kentuckian bumpkin, us backwoods gays appreciate the queens that have time for us. its so impactful to have that presence in a place where its normally looked down upon. so while i cant really say its the dream or the glamour, i can say it matters, a lot.
edit: this was lovely. i very much agree all the dots connect. AND as an enjoyer of the absurd, it made me appreciate irene so much more. thank you for these vids and giving queens another chance to show us who they are, learn from y'all, etc. the drag bar near me closed down recently, so now i have to drive about 2 hours away for shows. i dont really do that, so this is really how i scratch that itch for the time being, thank y'all.
This show is maddy’s version “this u?” Lmaooo
GORGEOUS looks today I’m totally obsessed with this slick back hair and pink on maddy and this makeup is amazing irene and I love this body, love the dynamic between y’all. Great interview as always! Love that full body laugh LMAOOOO
Maddy went from Chicken Farmer to Interviewer extraordinaire. A true versatile queen.
Irene will talk about anything and I absolutely love it! Can we have a second episode with her? 47 minutes still wasn’t enough 😩
I completely agree! I watched the interview twice and it still didn't quench my thirst!😭
Maddy is an amazing interviewer.
“Fistula? She’s on Dragula right?”
I like how Maddy mentions Dragula exactly once every single episode
Irene, taking the piss out of the music, that was changed from her music was hilarious 😂
Even though Maddy made a joke about it being pretentious, at the end of this episode I loved hearing Irene's connection to Charles Ludlam and to get to understand her philosophy behind her drag!! GITMS is such a great opportunity to give the queens a chance to explain their drag, and for us as viewers to get to know them on a deeper level than is shown on RPDR. Love the show and I enjoyed getting to hear Irene speak!
I would honestly love to see both of them on an all star season together when they're both ready to go back on
The dead pan stare while listening to the comedy skit explanation killed me. Hahaha
What I love about Maddy is that her presence in drag can be so contentious, but she uses this massive platform she’s been given to lift the queer drag performers around her, allow them to express themselves in a way WOW would never in the Pit Stop. I would love to see Maddy host it but never at the cost of this show
irene was giving the most “bro” attitude/vibe in this interview and you can tell maddy was very comfortable with that 🤭🤭🤭 good for them, i love this show so much 🥰
oh my god! the substance !!! i was so shocked to get to know irene! she is so deep and how she articulates herself is so good ! And i really love this giving gift according to how you get to know the queens. Its so well done.
Maddy thank you for having Irene on! She’s freaking incredible and I’m glad more people can see that!
I knewww irene would not have picked that music for her talent show
I LOVE IRENE SO MUCH WE WON
Irene's laugh at the end! I love how guests always love Maddys reads 😂
Maddy's Shein joke got me good. And the cancer joke 😂
I love Irene so much💚👽
She really knows which drag to match with whoever she brings on, on top of her superfluous research of the queen she interviews. I'm always blown away by how professional, yet funny and engaging she is on her talkshow.
I don't think you don't know what "superfluous" means.
Words can't describe how much I look forward to these episodes. Maddy really out here giving WoW a run for their money. All my love ❤
IRENE'S LOOKS WERE THE BEST, THE BOMB🔥😎
cosmo and wanda y'all ain't slick
It's so nice to learn more about Irene. I would have loved to see her and Mistress cutting up in the workroom more.
Thanks for another awesome episode Maddy!
I know she wasn’t on her season very long but Irene made me laugh so hard every time she did or said anything. I’d kill to have her on an all stars or something. I just can’t get enough
i’ve never felt so strongly that a pork chop queen was taken from us too soon - there’s just something about this alien!!
Maddy TOOK OVER the interview scene with Drag Race Girls Please keep them coming !
irene is honestly one of the funniest queens ive seen from the show. her humor is so witty, so what dry but comes off just right. I think she would kill a roast. for only 1 episode it shows alot because shes become one of my favorites from the show. I know she will be back for another season and if not allstars forsure, she has too. shes made for tv and she has the potential to honestly win.
This might be my favorite episode at this point. I love these 2 people SO much. And that book might be Maddy's greatest "I know something obscure yet important about you" moment yet.
I could listen to these two for HOURS
44:56 seriously the best way to end this chaotic interview. love every episode & thank you maddy
Irene is such a great queen. She came up my (not super well known) city in Washington and I sure thought she blew it out of the water. We all were so stoked to see her and I hope it felt worth her time :)
I saw Irene Dubois perform at Drag Con this year (2023), and it REALLY made me wish we had gotten more of her during her season! What a FANTASTIC performer. She maybe had one of the best lip syncs I've ever seen! I LOVED IT!
I watched this episode start to finish. This is an exceptional piece of Irene and other queens you've had on the show that we don't get to see anywhere else.
Irene talking about how "non-binary" is seen as a third gender/trinary is SO GOOD.
We all loved the Irene's' talent number, we laughed our ass off and thought she was amazing.
Maddy. You are incredible and now on of my favorites from your season. Watching all of your interviews, because you provide the in-depth look into the lives of the queens, that i craved for years. Thank you and all the best to you!!!
Omg Irene talking about being called gay before even knowing what that was is literally me as well. Getting bullied for something I didn't even know or understand about myself was part of why I stayed closeted until I was 20. I wish she had gotten to stay on the show longer. I never disliked her but I feel so much more connected to her after this and I think that's beautiful. 😌🥹
Love the pink callback to the promo look for this one
Really love the last part with the parting gift, it was super sweet and was really a connecting and understanding moment and glad that Maddy does the research
irene is just so genuine. i love any content with her
I'm 3 minutes in and Maddy's shade-level is giving me second degree papercuts through the screen... I love him so much
cannot take my eyes off of maddy's deely bopper antennae things theyre just vibrating and i keep looking at them
Maddy just continues to give quality interviews 💅
Irene was one of the top 4 queens I was looking forward to when season 15 began. I am so sorry that I didn't get to see her perform more. But look at some of the other first outs, like Shangela,, Jaymes Mansfield, and Miss Vanjie. There is ample opportunity for Irene to shine!
Easily one of the best talk shows anywhere. An especially great episode
I had Irene in my top 4 so I love when other queens give her a chance to get screen time we didn't get graced with
