Came here faster than Kennedy pulling out Milk's lipstick
Myilk
The flashback I got from this comment lmao
So you're faster than light now
Lmao
Kennedy if you’re reading these comments feel free to comment
Maddy showing pictures like she believes in the heart of the cards.
Her mastermind must be thinking "You just activated my trap card!"
This is giving very card captor sakura
She be like "your move"
I love this comment 😂😂
It's time for T-T-T-Trauma.
“If you put Rupaul as a contestant on drag race, she wouldn’t make it far” truer words have never been spoken and yet with that one line Maddy has now been banned from all stars 😂
Someone needed to say itttttt
worse words have been said!!
Girl 100% ru would kill it only lipsyncs will get motha (or a makeover but we won’t mention that cause my rupaul bias🤭😂) acting branding comedy performance!! I lowkey think yall downplaying rupaul
@@elijaheugene5727 gurl, she wouldn't do well design challenge either
@@kiertavasirkus unless she gets a”Trinity” to sew the whole thang cause u know ru def could design but sew idk
I’m glad to see season 14 is still being represented, maddys saggy Tatas really needed more air time💞
Idk if she did it on purpose or she mas no more budget for breast plate ☠️
*SCREAMING*
I will leak your SSN.
low hanging fruit, c'mon!
@@lillired857 the real low hanging fruit is the tatas💔
i love to see sugar having solid thoughts and speaking coherently
The drag bootcamp from Mistress was actually communication lessons.
She definitely made a few sentences that made sense.
📖
i know right, there was even one point in the video where she almost sounded like she was punctuating her speech
I noticed around the 20-30 minute mark she seemed to settle in and start talking like a normal human, and it was so nice. At the start I wasn't sure if I would make it the whole episode. I'm glad I stuck it out. I love S&S but they usually fall into the less is more category. It was nice to see her settle and listen to a real convo with her and Maddy.
Sugar made perfect sense when she said you can't be sickening without knowing it. Sometimes those corny sayings have truth to them.
THISSS!!! That's the only way to be sickening honestly
I think I got what she meant, but I can see how some wouldn't. It's a combination idea. First of all, attitude is everything - you have to have confidence in what you're doing, or else no one will buy it. It's also saying that if you can't see it in your mind you can't work to make that vision a reality.
I guess you could say the corny sayings have a kernel of truth 😉
@@peachesaupear8455girl…
It's like a mix of The Law of Attraction with really good self-esteem and self confidence. At least that's how I understood it.
MAddy recognised that she was speaking with a 'vulnerable' person, so therefore was restrained in her approach!! Kudos
Yes! This was one of my favorite episodes
@@Zac-oz9ljshe’s just sensitive and very self-critical, so maddy didn’t go too hard on the reading
Exactly! I was glad she noticed to redo what is her norm. Maddy is great!
That and with both Kennedy and Darienne's interview independently, Maddy was more restrained, letting them speak about their past, their troubles, and their journeys, while knowing when to land that jab at the right time without being insensitive. As in she didn't go right for the read right after a traumatic story.
It's exactly what I felt too!
Sugar saying "our Birthday is in July every year" shouldn't be this funny to me 😂🤣
Yasss this stuck out to me too!
She said they went to the pool for a pool bday party every year
@@SadhviJenn gurl... She literally said the words: our birthday is in July every year 😂
@@noirweiss yeah but thats the second half of the same sentence, she said there was a pool and they were there bc their birthdays are in July, every year.
Context :D
@@SadhviJenn you must be fun at parties...
Loving that you're interviewing her alone. The twins have much to give individually!
Exactly! Their interview on Delta was a nightmare
Honestly and this might sound shady but when they get each other going, it’s difficult to ingest. This is just a normal conversation, a back and forth, it was chill.
@@RNCHFND I agree but I still enjoyed it, I love them together just want them to be able to be separate also, however idk the vibe I got from this is their still learning how to be apart from eachother so give them grace 🙏🏽❤️
This one might not go viral on TikTok because they weren’t reading each other back and forth but this is by far the most moving and inspiring interview out of them all.
Ooh I’m really excited then! I think there are quite some of them with maddy, like with Kennedy or with mrs kasha Davis (which personally is my fav one, really bowled my eyes out with that one) and i also love the denali one bc it’s really such a good vibe between two friends!
I love that about maddy bc she really allows her guests to be what they wanna be in this interview and adapts accordingly!! Such a good and well prepared interviewer, such a fun person!
@@cinnamonroll96 omg yes. When Alexis Mateo was on for example it was perfect to be telling a lot of jokes because Alexis just wanted to have fun in the interview. But she can so quickly adapt to a persons sincerity and have real emotional moments.
In summary, we love you Maddy
Agreed!
Maddy should’ve dressed up like Spice 😂
😂😂😂
I hope she matches spices vibe for her episode lol
Yess😂
55:34 "I'm amazing at everything just for existing and everyone else is the same." I love that sentence (and sentiment) so much. This interview is fantastic.
You can really tell that Sugar and Maddy are two COMPLETELY different people, with very different interests, backgrounds and general personality traits, yet Maddy still manages to keep this conversation interesting, engaging and flowing naturally without any awkwardness or cringey interactions. That’s the mark of a truly skilled interviewer. Kudos! 😊
honestly like i can definitely tell i dont see myself being a sugar fan but i’m amazed at how Maddy really manages to bring her guest’s most vulnerable sides
Its really sweet to me hearing Sugar talk about how protective she is of Spice because Spice was the only person she had in her life growing up who made her feel normal and not alien/strange. That is so sweet ;-;
Why am I crying a bit reading this comment 🥲
Makes me tear up, hearing a young member of our community speak with SUCH WISDOM, and KINDNESS! Just love Sugar!! ❤
I know there are a lot of talk shows for drag queens but Maddy's hit differently. It's incredible how she allows people to share their inner thoughts. Last time Farrah came out. Now we know Sugar is soooo much smarter than the internet gives them credit for.
Farrah's was SO INTENSE. It felt like a therapy session (in a good way though) 💜
@@aaronpischke5019 Man, that interview just hit SO deep. And you don't expect it if you know Farrah just from DR, which really is a pity. Maddy does more to showcase people's personalities than DR can ever do. I was already a fan of Farrah's, now I just love her so much more!
As an identical twin, this video almost made me cry at the end. This episode really hit differently
Same
Ya the end was so incredibly sweet
Sugar is so likeable and forthcoming about their journey. The twins in general are the definition of dont judge a book by its cover.
sugar is finding her artistic voice so much. I feel like she used to come across as rambly in the past because she often didn't finish saying a thought cuz she was used to people tuning her out/having to speak as "half" of a twin brain. if she reads this, we love hearing the whole thought sugar. you have a unique and fascinating perspective on life
Yes exactly! She's actually very introspective & possibly ahead of many in her thoughts
As someone who was legally blind in her left eye from birth, dealing with the patches, I (kinda) see her and empathize
I was supposed to have a patch but my mother thought it would make me "look ugly". I really wish she would have let me have one. I have really bad depth perception. I also used to wear one contact, but now both eyes need correction.
no one else has appreciated you saying you (kinda) see her so i will, that was so clever and witty of you bestie
@@Violet-qf8droh man... i would not forgive her..
I'm sorry if my question may sound rude, it's really not my intention, but what exactly "legally blind" mean? Like you can be blind illegally?
@@MeretrixTricks”legally blind” means that you can technically see a little bit but your vision is poor enough that you are considered blind. So you can be completely blind and not see at all, or legally blind where you can see somewhat but your vision is poor enough to meet the qualifications of being “legally blind”
I’m glad she got an interview by herself
Got a lot of respect for Sugar after this. Props to her for being so vulnerable.
The coolest part about Maddy is that she could just be a regular straight guy & she’d never have to go through all of the prejudice that is directed at drag queens. But she chooses to do drag in spite of the intolerance out there & I respect her so much for being so authentic.
tbf maddy is not like your stereotypical straight dude either, she’s genderfluid i think so her attraction to women makes her as little queer as a transman being attracted to women. Still very queer in both cases so it’s not like Maddy could be a stereotypical next door straight mcDuderton from the block if it makes sense
It's not like she's doing charity. She does it because she likes it.
Honestly, so glad we have drag twins exploring that release of individuality. Most people have that when they leave home, but these two get to explore it and show us what it feels like minute by minute.
Sugar is a spiritual being- she’s aware of every word she speaks and every thought she thinks, how it’s shaping her present and creating her future. She is tapped in, turned on, and expanding through her connectedness. I’m so impressed by her
Me too. Sugar is very deep and how she thinks is special.
she's incredible
yes!! i felt her so deep when she said she knows where she’s gonna be in 20, 30 years like it’s a secret. complete self trust and intuition✨
Maddy saying: “the difference between you and the people who are doing something is because they did” has the same energy as our contemporary philosopher, Spears, Britney: “there’s only two types of people in the world: ones that entertain and the ones that observe”
O u ate that!
Sugar is so on point about the introverted thing. It’s not that Introverts dont want to be the life of the party or hangout with people or arent suited for outgoing type of activities. We just take time to recharge, which is usually our alone time, and then we bounce back up again.
I have a friend who literally does this. We were hanging out in our friend group but after a while she went off alone in a corner and a friend asked if she was okay. She says she just needed recharging and was totally fine. And then whoop back in the group she went after she had her recharge
That’s introverted-ness? Because that is me to a T. I hit a point where I have to go away and recharge
I am amazed by Sugar's profound insight in herself and the world, especially for her age and the edit she's gotten on the show. She says she is everything, while easily discussing her flaws, growth and the remaining work, and that really makes her everything! She is giving role model vibes.
This is my favorite surprise on Maddy's show so far. This girl will go so far
This just proves what Mistress said after the talent show: Sugar and Spice are kinda brilliant with how they operate. Now we get to see Sugar take that brilliance and focus it into greater purpose.
there's something so beautiful about sugar's gift being simply a friendship bracelet because she truly is the epitome of a girl's girl; devoted to being a good friend
This is oddly the most grounded (almost emotional) that theese interviews have ever been.
The twins truly were the condiments of Season 15. Without them the season would've been bland
Season 15 was so good best season in a long time
@@GSP96 WHAT??? Season 15 was so predictable and bland due to production and editing.
@@bastioncory6740 and Sasha being there
@@bastioncory6740 I didnt think it was bland at all lol. Mistress vs everyone was everything. After hearing you sing I understand homophobia
@@bastioncory6740Hunny S15 was not bland whatsoever, it had the most flavour in a main season for a LONG time
I clicked this faster than Anetra jumping over Marcia 😭
Wouldn't this be camp if this was actually Spice
They would tho 💀💀💀
i’m dead😭
When maddy posted the story that sugar is the next guest..
I was like what if i tune in and it's spice in sugars drag..
????
Lmao
Sugar thank you for talking about your depression. As someone going through depression myself it's really not easy so thank you for sharing your experience. I hope things are turning around for you.
I don't think I truly appreciated just how clever and talented Sugar is until this interview. The introspection and vulnerability on display here made me connect with her like never before. I can't wait to see what work she'll do next with her drag and photography and whatever else she wants.
Also, Maddy youre such a phenomenal interviewer and know exactly how to balance that seriousness and humor without one overriding the other. Its a very fine line to ride, which could lead to horribly awkward moments if not balanced, but you manage it perfectly.
I like how on the show they were perceived to be annoying but in interviews Sugar is actually well spoken
I didn't know Sugar is this eloquent and insightful. Love this for her. "I'm not a dumb blonde, I'm just really good at pretending to be one.", as Paris Hilton would say. 💖
Yess Paris Hilton really trolled us
Maddy has truly been giving us the content. last vid farrah and this week sugar??
Ikr these segments have been incredibly good. Though honestly they always are. It’s great getting to know queens so much better from these interviews.
Of course it's over an hour long. Can't wait to watch it 15 times on repeat anyway
Hearing Sugar say she was trolling Ru during snatch game had me rolling😂
Honestly this has to be one of my favourite series. I love getting such a deep and entertaining look at the queens. And it really shows Maddy off even more as a talent, queen and entertainer.
i feel like this interview really brought out Maddy’s interview abilities more than the previous episodes/interviews. where Sugar kind of lacked words and phrases to fill in their thought, Maddy was able to finish or tee-up the thought in a more digestible way
Seeing Sugar talking so eloquently and sharing her deep toughts makes me appreciate her so much more, Maddy thanks for this content.
Sugar and spice are my fav drag queens and to see sugar speak a lot about herself makes me respect her so much
They were literally prepared to collab with known child pr€d, James Charles. Choices
@@morgenmuffel5747 shut up
@@morgenmuffel5747yet they didn’t when more extra problematic allegations came out. Before it was just James coming into straight men… later it was minors and they distanced themselves.
To see her speak a lot about herself makes you respect her so much? Uhm…. Okay so logically Jasmine Kennedie would have your complete and absolute reverence wouldn’t she?
@@Izzybagginsyour tone seems very pointed right now...
There are so many queens that were social media famous "Pre-Drag Race", i.e. Kim Chi and Aquaria. It's a part of the resume and shows your ability to communicate your art to a broader group of people!
It's wild to me that some people think Sugar and Spice are empty headed bimbos. It's so apparent to me that they're very analytical and are constantly thinking about this, that, and the other.
On RPDR, their sincerity and genuineness were very apparent. ❤
Now we wait for Sugar & Spice to inevitably bring us the Drag version of ANTM like they always wanted! 🎉💖👏
Really loving the way Maddy is the hard hitting drag journalist we didn't know we needed.
I am constantly impressed by Maddy’s interviews.
Sugar is such a spiritual person. Thankful for Maddy bringing her in and picking her brains out.
I didn't expect Sugar to be so well spoken. Love to see this side of her ❤
What I love about Maddie, she will give us exactly what we needed to know from some stars. Amazing content
“Drag Race is like being cast in a movie but you just don’t know your role. But if you are smart enough you can figure out your role before it’s too late.” We don’t Sugar enough credit
Maddy is such a great interviewer ❤❤
The drag NardWal. The questions are so great
I honestly think she's the best out of all of the interviewers that have come out of drag race. She's a natural and makes everyone comfortable to reveal things but to take some friendly shade too
I really love this interview. I actually dealt with a bout of depression recently that was similar to sugar and I combated with it the same way as her which is unhealthy for one’s mind and body. So to hear her talk about gave me some great comfort.
Also I would love to see sugar and spice do a cute slumber party theme show a la Mary Kate and Ashley. That would be so cute and maybe they could do a parody of gimme pizza. Lol
I'm looking forward to Sugar embracing her hippie sage queen era
The shade of showing the drag race icon for a single frame at at 13:04 when talking about being embarrassed on national tv 😂
Thank you for mentioning!
Of course I thought Maddy was making a reference about Drag Race, but I was reading the subtitles and I missed that.
What an incredible interview. Might be my favorite to date. Sugar is incredibly bright and so well spoken! I really connected with a lot of what she was saying
Its so cool to hear Sugar by herself! They seem so lovely 😌
Oh, I see now. It's not that Sugar's speech is scattered; it's her hand gestures. 🤔 She comes across as ten times smarter and more insightful when we listen to her on the podcast by herself.
Hello Maddy. Happy New year to you & your partner. Thank you for interviewing Sugar. Nice to see her on her own. That apricot colour looks stunning on Sugar. I really appreciate all the interviews you do. It must take many hours of research. I hope 2024 brings you all the success that you deserve. Older viewer Jane in New Zealand 🇬🇧🇳🇿
Its always so fun to hear another twin talk about twin stuff! I love hearing how similar but different it can be
I’m so glad that we get to see another side of Sugar and not just the “dumb bimbo twin” archetype that Drag Race wanted to box her into. She’s a talented and well spoken individual when she’s given the space to be and I’m glad that Maddy gave her that space.
Maddy needs her own show on mtv. She really does her research and I love how she can be catty, yet compassionate. Keep up the awesome work!
MTV? She might as well interview The Real Friends 😂😂😂
I watched this thinking I wasn’t going to watch the full hour but I was so enthralled I didn’t even notice when it got to the end. Thank you for letting us study the psyche of Sugar on a deeper level ❤
I’m so glad that Sugar got the spotlight first on here instead of Spice🥹❤ love them both but I definitely feel like Sugar needed more time to shine
Maddy is not only intelligent but also a fantastic listener, like you can tell she genuinely loves listening to people which is really valuable these days where it's all about the reaction and impulsively sharing opinions online.
Sugar as an artist who struggles to find their own individuality and autonomosity is such a new perspective. Excellent work again Maddy!
This was such a good interview as Maddy got rid of the Sugar facade immediately and asked proper questions. Without doubt it's the most intelligent Sugar has shown herself to be.
Sugar's delusions are so positive and so kind! I'm listening and actually agreeing a lot ☺️
I don't think she's that delusional. She might just be ahead of her time in thinking
@@lb794 oh I didn't mean it as a negative, maybe as a synonym to imagination or akin to projection ☺️
I love how in her childhood she was the more shy out of the two. But then she is also the more dominant, kind of the mom, also the baby and the younger one, simplistic, seemed more outgoing from the outside prespective, complicated, and everything everywhere all at once. She is crazy and i love that for her!
Wow…this interview was far more than I expected. Sugar is so real, deep, and intelligent. Incredible interview.
Intelligent?
I have to say that, this episode of Give It To Me Straight, is my favourite one that Maddy has done, because I love Sugar and Spice so much, so being able to learn more about Sugar is allowing me to love her on a deeper level and connect with her.
I want to applaud Sugar for opening up about her post-elimination depression. Very relatable and insightful! What a wonderful message for the New Year
I absolutely love hearing about Sugar's passion for photography. I relate so much to her in that aspect.
The SWEETEST guest ever!!!
What's so special about GITMS is that we get to see who all these queens really are and to hear their stories. Usually all we get is the portrayal of a character in a TV show, but there's so much more to them!
It's been so special getting to hear queens like Sugar, Farrah, Kerry, Kennedy... You do see them in a different light after these conversations.
And props to Maddy, that just keeps getting better at this! She's really perfecting the timing of these interviews, and making it about the guest and not about herself. Always new she had something special! ❤
24:14 Its the fact that Sugar and Spice are the reason I found out about drag and Rupaul 😭💀
Something about Sugar is just so charming and lovely. Love to see the twins branching out and doing their own things
I already loved Sugar but hearing the part about needing a battery recharge spoke to me on another level. 🧡
This was so beautiful, I connected to my younger self who was having depression and did not understand it. Sugar seems much more interesting to me now. Yet again Maddy is here to open our eyes and our hearts to all these fabulous yet normal people ❤
Sugar is so down to earth and relatable I love her so much. She’s very wise and intellectual behind the bimbo character and that’s what makes her so intriguing
Maddie could interview sociopaths, I would watch! She is the shade assassin!
"That’s bold of you being in the workroom having never done a gig, then Sasha Colby walks in and you’re like, ‘I got this'" fucking dead
@@Grova
Im honestly so happy for and proud of Sugar! She really is starting to develop her own brand and find her own confidence as an artist and personality
Listening to Sugar talk on her own makes me feel like I have more in common with her than I realized. Maddy's gift at the end was so thoughtful and sweet!! 1 of 1
honestly, two weeks late and I keep going back to this interview. Ijust love the way Sugar speaks. Fully from the heart
She’s so emotional mature. I can say I honestly didn’t realize this about Sugar. I’m so glad you got to show us that. ❤
I'm gonna defend their lipsync til my death. What they did was a breath of fresh air and a high camp fun performance on a moment that's serious, it truly showed that they were not there to play for the producers but to give moments and have fun and it played perfectly into their charachters.
If Sugar hadn't fall they wouldn't have been able to pick one of them tbh and that's kinda everything. Even with the fall is one of the best of the season imo.
She is so much smarter than she acts. She’s playing a dumb character, pulling a Paris Hilton and I love it.
This was a rollercoaster of Sugar goung between the most confidence person to the most insecure in seconds...
I had a feeling they are smarter than the Bimbo personality they put on. Loved to hear Sugar's inner thoughts and her musings about life.
Maddy you are a wonderful interviewer. 👏👏👏
I am gonna need Katya to do a performance art thing where Same Parts starts playing and she brings out Sugar. And tries to put in her one contact with baby hands and in her Contact dress. Hell, Contact can be playing in the background.
Werk the World? 🙃
shes so smart and she says what needs to be said.
39:15 This is why Maddie wasn't chosen for the pit stop this season😭 😂
Miss sugar girl you are so relatable i love you 😍 “if you’re a little different there’s a target on your back”
As someone who’s in their first year of drag this interview gave me so much inspiration, I found the part about getting frustrated starting makeup so relatable
SPEAKING OF BRITTANY BROSKI!!! Please ask her to come on, she will happily and we all want it
As a twin myself sugar really vocalized a lot of internal struggles I never even thought about!! this was a gorg interview I really enjoyed it
I really did not know what drag really was until I saw sugar and spice on you-tube for the first time. So sugar and spice pls know that you inspire me to want to do drag and be my genuine and feminine self so you both will always have a place in my heart.
