Two brilliant, articulate and gorgeous performers who have changed the world, just in time for Christmas! Love you, Jinx & DeLa!

The moment DeLa spoke about being freak/special was so insightful. Love these two very special people xxx
I could totally relate to old traditions being reconfigured when they no longer suit one’s psyche.
The lighting in this pod is RIGHT
I love the part where they talk about the vultures in the industry, as a creative this very thing has poisoned the entertainment and art industry for years. But it is very comforting to know people like them come on top. Makes me hopeful.
Excellent interview with these two amazing performers. I learned quite a bit about them that I didn't know before. Thanks.
Thank you Tom for having these gorgeous queens⭐️💕
"I was a visibly queer visibly trans kid since birth, it just took me time to realize it" i felt this in my soul, other kids were calling me heshe before i realized i actually was a he lol
I adore them!! 😊🥰🥰
Wonderful interview. They’re both so talented, brilliant, and amazing! Seeing their success and friendship grow over the years is really touching as well! Love them! ❤💚🎄
I love how Jinkx and DeLa really listen to each other. They don't interrupt or talk over the other at all. They truly do respect each other and there's no diva-ness going on here. Love it!❤👍👏👏
this interview is absolutely brilliant. i could listen to these two talk for hours they're my biggest role models i just love the way their minds work
Loved the interview and it's so sad people are not safe in a country that promotes safety and freedom. Wish I could see this show. Have loved this duo since they were on drag race!
the livestream is available through new year's!
Love these two! They’re talented artists and so funny and sweet!❤
Nailed it...Loved it...
love these 2! great interview
Loved this🩷🩷🩷
Great interview with two legends ❤
I love these two. ❤
Fantastic interviewer, I can see why Ben Dela Creme was flirting with him. :3
Yes new show every year! I went to a comedy series at the Elysian and everyone performed the same content both shows and I was like ummm why I am here? Think it’s much better to keep it fresh and it’s more considerate to the audience’s time ❤🎉✨🤙💫
Impressive guests! DeLa, Jinkx: your capacity and creativity has no limits. Community power, social network nurturing has been declining over tha last decades... (I think) we must rebuild it. P. S.: excuse my english, it´s not my original lenguage!!
Hugs!

I can't wait to see their show this weekend. Love them both (but especially DeLa!)
Love you both so much, such beauty.❤❤
I’m female. When I was in high school, studying fashion, I wore ‘costumes’ , theatre makeup and custom made fangs to school. I was the only ‘weird’ one in my town. Once, I caused a fender bender 😂 Dela is right. We need to stick together ❤
Love watching you two ladies together. You are very fluid together. Maybe its that Virgo Libra cusp you both have with other compatible aspects.
Love ❤️ these 2 ………. Christmas queening at breakfast realness latteccino
❤❤❤
How high is Jinx? Yes.
I keep reading some variation of this same comment on all their videos, some of us are just that way normall😢y 😂
❤❤❤❤❤
💙💙💙💙💙
Just two lithe Christian girls serving American realness to a polite Canadian interviewer in a God-honoring way.
"Two fussy nerds" sounds like a novel take on the 12 Days of Christmas. Love you. Keep self producing, and tell the money men that you are leftists/socialists/commies now. If you haven't already, come to the dark side, we have fair-trade cookies!
DeLa always sounds bunged up to me
