Video Transcript

[THEME MUSIC]

MONET X CHANGE: Hi, hi, hi. It's your girl Monét, and you're watching "The X Change Rate," the show that begs the question, how is Monét so fucking beautiful? I know.

[LAUGHTER]

Ah, so after last week's episode, I made the joke, or said I would research to find out if my cat could be vegan. And bitch, 300 comments later, y'all have been done letting me know that I'm a fucking idiot. [LAUGHS] Monét, you stupid bitch, your cat can't get be vegan. What is wrong with you, you dumb cunt? Literally, those are comments.

Y'all were very shady, and y'all really let me have it. And no, I am-- now I know that my cat will not be vegan, and I apologize, Mom, OK? I'm sorry. I'm a human. I make mistakes.

But even though my cat won't be vegan, I have tumbled with the idea of veganity. But I just don't think it's for me. Last week, I was a little pescaterian. I only had fish, salmon, whiting, and shrimps. And I'm-- think I might be liking that journey for me. It's not completely vegan, but it's on the journey thereto.

Because, you know-- because of-- I'm over 30 now, and you know, like, health and skin and just being vegan was, like, better for you. But we'll see. [MUTTERING] I like meat, I like fish. I like all the things. Having a vegan lifestyle does help with, you know, weight maintenance and stuff like that. And again, over 30, we want to make sure these things are balanced, that I'm giving all this naturalosity that I can.

But I get really bothered when I see celebrities-- Mr. Robert Patterson-- Robert Pantene-- Robert Pattinson-- Patterson. Robert Pattinson. Robert-- there we go. Robert Pattinson was like, you know, it's an epidemic. It's a pandemic. Like, you know, whatever. Like, don't, like, get bogged down. Like, eat what you want.

No, fuck celebrities. Y'all don't have-- y'all can't tell me eat what I want, all that stuff, because y'all can get, you know, hefty and all your stuff in corona. Then, afterwards, you're going to buy a trainer for $3 million a session, and you're going to get-- like, look how you want to look. All of us don't have that luxury. So no, I can't be up in-- in quarantine eating chips and fried chicken and all those things.

I need to be balanced and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle because over 30, it's hard to lose weight. Am I right, Trixie? Am I right?

[APPLAUSE]

And in corona, I'm also noticing lots of weird things. The weirdest thing I saw this week is that Snoop Dogg just sat in his car and listened to "Let It Go" from "Frozen." It was one of the strangest things I have witnessed. I don't know why it's so weird, but just thinking, like, Snoop Dogg going from "Gin and Juice" to "Let It Go"-- it is just weird. And I think we're just all going a little crazy, but that's OK. We can all go a little crazy. Just make sure you can snap it back before it gets away, you know what I'm saying?

But enough of that. It's another jam-packed show for y'all today with two ever-so-charming Canadians-- Dustin Milligan, of "Schitt's Creek," and the one and only, Miss Jackie Cox.

[APPLAUSE]

But first, let's get into the Gig! Hit it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Ch-ch-ch-ch ch-ch-ch-ch. Just another week. Celebrities are doing things. Oh, my god, my phone can't recognize me. It's probably like, who is this beautiful woman?

The first one I want to dive into is the "Real Housewives of Atlanta." OK. I have to be honest, two seasons ago, I was-- I mean, I've been obsessed with the "Housewives of Atlanta" for a very, very, very long time. I love, love, love the show.

Last season, I fell off of it. You know, I think with traveling and everything, I just wasn't keeping up with it, and I was like, ugh. But now we're back. Now this new-- the newest season that's out now, I've gotten reinvested in the show, and I spent all-- all of quarantine catching up and watching the show, and now they're on the reunions. And girl, this thing is wild.

The housewives of Atlanta, I promise you, it is the best season of "Housewives." A close second, I think, is Beverly Hills, and after that will be New York. But Atlanta is the best. So much drama, so much shade. It is so good. So the reunion is happening, and of course, NeNe Leakes is wild. She has now left the reunion twice. The first time, NeNe-- she just closed the computer because Kenya Moore confronted her about spreading rumors about her marriage not being real-- her marriage to Marc Daly, which-- that whole situation-- Kenya and Marc-- it is too much. I want Kenya to stop fucking with Marc. He's rude. He's shady.

I get it. She wants to preserve her-- her-- her-- her family because of her daughter, Brooklyn, she has with Marc. But he's just toxic. He is mean and nasty to her, and it is not cute. Anyway, besides the point. NeNe confronted-- confronted-- NeNe confronted Kenya about her marriage being fake. I mean, Kenya confronted NeNe-- shit. NeNe, Kenya, NeNe Kenya.

Kenya confronted NeNe about her marriage being fake, to which Kenya provided receipts of a marriage certificate from St. Lucia. And I know what you're thinking. You can fake a marriage-- a marriage license from anywhere. No, a representative from St. Lucia, who, I guess, helped officiate their union in St. Lucia, came out and like, oh, no, this is real. I'm big on St. Lucia, my-- my family's home country. Whoo-whoo-whoo.

They came out and they were like, no, this is completely real. NeNe is just, again, making shit up. NeNe loves to make things up and then be mad when it all blows up in her face, like how she said that there was this fake audio call, which, in Part 3 of the reunion, Savanda, Shavanda-- whatever her name is. We're going to hear from her if there really was this recording of someone talking shit about NeNe because that's been a whole thing the whole season.

So NeNe-- and then she left this past week because she got mad again that-- oh, no. She left the second time because she had a really, really heated argument with Kandi. I think NeNe's being a punk. Girl, if you want to dish it, sit there and take it. Everyone else is.

And with all these, like, crazy arguments, my favorite part is Andy just muting people. So they go, like, yeah, because that's what I heard because yeah, close your legs, marry your man. Mute. That shit is so good. I'm like, we need to just do these social distance reunions forever because it is, honestly, more dramatic.

The next big thing was Eva Marcille. Now, I have loved Eva for decades-- literally, decades-- two decades now. Because we all know her from "Top Model" cycle 3. She was the winner of cycle 3. You know that-- the spider photo shoot? So good. So iconic.

And you know, Eva talked about, on the show a lot, how her daughter is with her ex-partner, Kevin McCall. And they had a really tumultuous-- I don't want to say relationship because she was very vocal in saying that it was not a relationship, they were kind of just messing around. So she downplayed their relationship, and she said that they were having fun until she became pregnant.

And then she talks about him being really abusive to her, very violent with her, and-- which-- this is all a legend because McCall has denied all of these claims. And then she got super emotional and she just broke down and she walked off camera. And she was, like, screaming. She was like, I hate talking about him. Ugh, I hate talking about him. And a lot of the fans on Twitter are coming at Eva saying, no, y'all were messing around for two years. Y'all were together-- y'all were together for two years. It was not just a fun thing.

I'm like, bitch, I have definitely had fuck buddies longer than two years. Me and-- you know you are. Bitch, we've been fuck buddies for four years now, and we're not in a relationship. I-- I damn sure ain't pregnant, at least I don't think. And you know, like, you-- people have fuck buddies. Fuck buddies-- there's no expiration date or timeframe for having a fuck buddy. That's just not how life works.

So I completely believe Eva. If this abuse-- also, believe-- believe victims. Why are we not believing victims? You know what I mean? People are like, oh, I didn't see the black and blues. I didn't see this. That is not your fucking business. So Eva, get him. Drag that hoe. And I'm happy that Marley got her name changed, and he is no longer-- well, I guess he never will never not be part because, you know, that's his daughter as well. But I'm happy that she is separated, she's with her new man, and they have their beautiful kids and their beautiful family. And fuck Kevin McCall. He's shady. He nasty. Mm.

And-- [LAUGHS] again, also a lot-- Porsha is-- people are calling her the MVP of this-- of this reunion because she has had some really good reads. No shade to Eva. Y'all know I love Eva, but she said it looks like Eva's titties are social distancing. I was like, oh, my-- damn. That it so rude.

And then Kenya said to NeNe that she looked like a white woman in drag. No shade, NeNe, that foundation is not your color, baby. People love getting the fucking Chanel foundations, and they're always off. They never work. Bitch, get you a nice Mehron stick, honey, OK? Then you can look like this. NeNe's color is a little off, and Kenya got her together. Anyway, we're getting Eva Marcille on the show very soon so we can talk to her all about this right here in my living room. Oh, I can't wait.

The next story is Alaska and Willam. Now, if you don't know, Alaska and Willam, they have a podcast called "Race Chaser," and they dissect every episode of "RuPaul's Drag Race" from seasons one until the current episodes, all-stars, everything. And you know, they're two funny-- they're two of the biggest stars from "Drag Race," and they're very candid. They talk very openly about everything.

And fans are not feeling them still talking about Sherry Pie. Her name was Emily. She reached out to the host of "Race Chaser," saying that-- what did she say? "Seems like-- seems like the dolls are living for Sherry Pie and making it known. It triggers me to hear her getting praise, and it makes me wonder why "Race Chaser" is even acknowledging her." Ugh. To which Willam and Alaska replied, we're not going to pretend she does exist in the realm of "Drag Race" because she does.

You know, they've-- they've been-- they've made it very clear that they do not condone Sherry's actions, Sherry's behavior. But their point is that their-- "Drag Race" shows is still keeping a show. Like, we're still, like-- I mean, they've edited her out a lot. Because when I did my episode of the Pit Stop with Bob-- from that to when it actually aired, they edited her out. Like, they're making a conscious decision to edit her out as much as they can.

But you guys have to realize, this girl was still there, and she did-- like, you know, her getting to-- her getting to the final four, which is-- fuck that shit. It's the final three now. But she obviously did things to justify being there. So I think the show is trying to best-- to-- to phase her out as much as possible, but it's impossible to make her disappear completely. So and-- so from Willam and Alaska's perspective, they're like, so we kind of have to talk about it.

What do y'all think? Do y'all think that it's shady that they still mention her? I mean, Bob and I make jokes at Sherry Pie's expense all the time, but we're definitely not-- no one is saying she's fierce and she deserves yada, yada, yada. Everyone is condemning her actions. But you kind of still have to acknowledge she's there because we're getting-- we're seeing the runways, and we're seeing things, you know what I mean?

Yeah, and people think that that make-- that gives Sherry more power. I don't feel that way. I feel like the general consensus by 90% of the fandom is that what Sherry did was the most deplorable thing ever. We don't condone her actions. But we kind of have to live with the fact that she's a part of the season. But speaking-- imagine how these girls feel. Their entire "Drag Race" experience is tainted by Sherry Pie. Imagine how that feels to know that every time people watch your season of "Drag Race," from now until the end of time, they will always call it the Sherry Pie season. They will always-- like, this-- this is-- this is, like, a stain on their season forever. So if anyone should be mad, those bitches should be mad.

Oh, moving onto another convict. I guess now ex-convict because he's, like, home now for whatever reason. It's Tekashi 6ix 9ine. I have to be honest with y'all. I do not know much about-- I feel like he is in, like, just-- in a generation, like, way after mine. I don't really know all of his things. If you don't know, he's the one with the rainbow hair and the big 69 tattoo.

He was in jail up until, like, I think, about a few weeks ago for a really egregious offense. I'm not-- I don't remember-- I don't quite remember what it was. So let me not-- so y'all come in the comments coming at me. But he did something really bad. He went to jail.

And he got out and immediately, like, a few days after he got out, there-- he was out in Long Island, which he's supposed to be on, like, an undisclosed location because people, like-- people, like, want this man dead. Like, people-- he snitched on somebody, apparently-- allegedly. And people do not like this fool. Like, he should be lying low.

Like, he's going to live the rest of his life kind of running from people, which is kind of crazy to think about. But anyways, so, like, a few days after he got out, what does he do? Goes on Instagram, has a bigass shark chain on, and, like, stacks of money, y'all. Stacks. And he's doing something to the camera. But this woman saw him out her window and she's like, oh, my god, is that Tekashi 6ix 9ine? Literally videotaping him recording himself on Instagram on some "Inception" shit.

Anyway, that's beside the point. He is reigniting his beef with Snoop Dogg, and because of that, he might be going right back to jail. So in his first moments of freedom, Tekashi decides to come for Snoop Dogg and, allegedly, show him having an extramarital affair with-- with an Instafamous girl, Celina Powell. He uploaded the video of Snoop kind of dressed. His butt-- Snoop's-- Snoop's ass was out, and he was in the same room. They were together.

And you know, if you're looking at this video, yes, it looks incriminating. It looks like Snoop Dogg is doing something that he's not supposed to do. But again, we don't know the inner workings of their marriage. We don't know what their agreements are. Like, that's their business.

But you know-- but-- but Snoop fans are reporting it because California law states-- and they make it a crime for any person to intentionally distributes the image of the intimate body part, or body parts, of another identifiable person. The California law also states that it is illegal to record a person inside their home without their knowledge. The law makes it also illegal to spread, circulate, or secretly record videos-- or secretly recorded videos to the internet.

So in every examining of this law, my New Jersey chorus-- New Jersey choir college degree-- education degree-- I can decipher that 6ix 9ine definitely fucked some shit up. And if he's convicted, he's going to go right back to jail. Like, you're a fool. Like, you were this rapper with all this money and this, that, and the other. Why are you trying to ignite beef with Snoop Dogg's old ass, who's just trying to live his life and listen to "Frozen" in his car? Like, what an idiot. Ugh.

Anyway, I don't want to waste any more time on Tekashi 6ix 9ine. Snoop Dogg responded, and saying that he needs to-- "Last time he said something, I didn't have time. But today, I got time." You know, corona? "You better get off my line, motherfucker." Go on and do your own shit. You are-- you're messing with a dog. Go play with a cat. So Snoop Dogg is not having it, and yeah, Tekashi, mind yo' business, girl. Just be free, lay low, and live your life, OK?

Those are the stories this week. And once again, if you ever have any stories that you want us to cover or you think we should talk about, tag me on Instagram, also on Twitter, and #XCR and we'll see what pops up. Whoo.

As y'all know, I don't really fuck with wines, well, except for every other week when we have another segment from our in-house "sommeli-gay." Get it? Sommelier? [LAUGHS]

- [CLEARS THROAT] [COUGHS] Mm. [COUGHS] Jesus fuck.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

- (SINGING) Wine crush, Wed-nes-day. Hosted by Rosé.

- Hi, everyone, and welcome back to Wine Crush Wednesday. It is my pleasure being with you right now, as I-- it's the first time I have been with anyone in weeks. This is the first episode of Wine Crush Wednesday that I have filmed since the government shutdown, and we have been in quarantine and have been social distancing.

And what's different about life now, more than ever, and more so than anything else, is that, before, I loved to have a nice, little cocktail-- a little glass of wine. But, you know, as Mother Teresa once said, um, hey. [LAUGHS] So the reason I'm wearing such a big wig today is because I'm trying to disguise the fact that, for the last four weeks, every meal I've had has been noodles and red wine.

Anyway, let's drink more. Listen, I am a little wined out. I have-- I-- today, I thought about getting some wine-- ordering, of course. I would hate to go outside in a pandemic. But yeah, I wanted to-- I wanted to get something, and I was like, well, how about I get something that, like, represents where I am in life right now? Since I have gained 18 pounds in the last five minutes, let's get back on track.

So tonight, I have my very special friend, Skinny Girl Margarita. Oh, my god. Do you see the details on this artwork? Do you see the lime? Oh, my god. So Skinny Girl Margarita was made by, like, one of the fucking housewife people, or whatever the fuck it's called. I don't care. It's a margarita with less calories, and they say that one-- one serving size is two bottles. So I only have one, so I don't think I'm going to get a full serving.

But yeah, the first thing we're going to need for this is a glass. [LAUGHS] OK. The second thing we're going to need is ice. [SNAPS] [LAUGHS] Everybody loves margaritas, but no one wants the guilt or the calories. That's why we created Skinny Girl Margarita, made with natural flavor, blue agave silver tequila, and lightly sweetened with agave nectar. Skinny Girl Margarita, the margarita you can trust.

OK, first of all, I-- [LAUGHS] I should be the spokesmodel for this. Oh, is it-- this is plastic? It looks like glass. It's glasstic. Just a small glass. OK, now we can taste it. I'm really excited. It's already kind of just reminding me of, like, a margarita in a wine glass with, like, maybe, like, ice in it. So cheers to-- cheers.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

There's, like, noises happening upstairs, and I want to guess that it's rearranging the furniture, but I also, like, low-key know that it's butt sex.

MONET X CHANGE: If being in one of the most popular shows of this decade was not enough, our first guest has officially charmed his way into our hearts on this season of "Celebrity Drag Race." Please help me welcome the delicious Dustin Milligan.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Hey.

MONET X CHANGE: Hello, my dear, how are you?

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: I'm so good. I am so excited to be here talking on the "X Change" with you, Monét. You are absolutely one of my favorite queens of all time, so thank you for having me.

MONET X CHANGE: Thank you. Thank you for being here. You look like you are in a very lovely, sunshiny place. I'm very jealous.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah, the Sunshine state, California. It is-- it is lovely here, you know? Again, like-- like, being in lockdown is not the best, but the fact that it's beautiful and sunshiny, and that I have the best tan of my entire life, it's [INAUDIBLE].

MONET X CHANGE: Well, you know, up in-- up in-- I mean, Canada gets a lot of sunshine. I will say, I've-- since, you know, touring on "Drag Race" and stuff, I find myself in Canada a lot during the winter in places like Saskatoon and Edmonton. And I'm like, I fucking hate the winter. Why am I here? But the people are great, but I hate winter.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah, I know. In Edmonton-- so where I'm from is a town called Yellowknife, which is an 18-hour drive due north of Edmonton.

MONET X CHANGE: Further north of Edmonton?

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Way further north than Edmonton.

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, girl. Mm-mm.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So it's-- again, that's why it's like, it's so lovely now that I sort of built my entire life here in California because it's just a way for me to never experience those winters again.

[LAUGHTER]

MONET X CHANGE: Now, I have a question. This-- this is a legitimate question. When did you realize that you were a sex symbol--

[LAUGHTER]

--to so many people?

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Wow. I mean, I don't know-- is that-- is that the case? I don't--

MONET X CHANGE: Uh, yes, Ted.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: I don't know. I guess it depends on what that symbol is. Yeah. Is it a sex symbol of insecurity? Because then that's accurate.

[LAUGHTER]

Is this [INAUDIBLE] just a big teardrop? Because that's what happens more often than not in sex. No, I-- that's-- that's-- as you can tell, it's almost weird for me to have to sort think about. I never-- you know, I always wanted to just be funny. The reason I got into the biz, as it is, is just because I wanted to make people laugh. And yeah, so that's always been my goal. But certainly, it's been a long journey.

And that's why I think-- like, I'm so grateful to be working in comedies lately now more than ever. But again, being on-- on "Drag Race" was so incredible because, like, I got to actually, like, show off my chops, prove myself.

MONET X CHANGE: I know. OK, well, so how long have you watched "Drag Race"? Like, have you been a big fan of the show for a long time? Or you kind of just recently got into it?

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: I only got into it-- so it would be like-- like, December 2018, January 2019 is when-- it was like, my partner and I, we were just like, what are we going to do? And a friend of hers was like, you should watch "Drag Race." So we were like, all right, we'll get into it. And I'd only sort of heard about it, and I love puns. I love word play. I love puns. So--

MONET X CHANGE: Dad jokes, basically.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and it's always floating around. I heard this name Sharon Needles, and I was like, that's so funny. To me, like, that's just such a clever name. And then, of course, when I started watching the show and realized everybody's got a name like that. And everybody's so funny and so talented and had so much heart. It just, like-- it swept over me like you wouldn't believe. And now I am truly obsessed-- a super, super fan.

MONET X CHANGE: Well, you know, that was one of the ones that it took me a long time to realize. I feel embarrassed to say. I did not get that Sharon Needles were sharing needles until like, maybe, three years late. I'm so slow.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: No. There's-- that still happens to me all the time. Like, recently, the last episode of "Celebrity" with Madison Beer was Coral Fixation.

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, it's so good. That is--

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: I didn't get it at first. I was like, Coral Fixation? Like, what is-- and then someone-- I was watching [INAUDIBLE] oral fixation. And I was like, that's very-- that's good.

MONET X CHANGE: It's so good. So wait. So 2018, that's, like, all-star. That-- that was my-- that was my all-star season.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah. Well, actually, so we ended up-- I think we watched-- was it "All Stars 3" was when DeLa did the--

MONET X CHANGE: Yes, "All Stars 3," yeah.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: So that was the first season of "Drag Race" we ever watched.

MONET X CHANGE: Ooh, that was a good one.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: And then we just went all out of order-- like, all over the place. But then we watched yours next, and then we went back and, like, started actually going a little bit more in order. But it wasn't until probably-- in fact, it wasn't until after I shot my episode of "Celebrity Drag Race" that I finally went back and watched the final few seasons that I still had missed.

MONET X CHANGE: Yeah.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Because it's hard to find season one.

MONET X CHANGE: Say it again?

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: It's hard to find season one.

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, yeah. Girl, they don't speak about it. It was horrible. They filmed on someone's Nokia phone. It was terrible. They try to lose it.

But "Celebrity Drag Race," I have to say, you did such a great job. And if you weren't loved enough already, people really, really, really loved you on the show. Because you were just being such a genuine spirit and so kindred and being so kind. And it was just so nice to see you just embrace the femininity of it all and just let yourself have the experience. It was so nice to see.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Well, I-- again, I'm such a fan of yours, so I really appreciate that. Especially-- you know, I love my Miss Congeniality queen, so it's, like, even more of an honor. Because I think-- I think, you know, that-- that was the thing for me. I've been on, for a very long time-- possibly my entire life-- this sort of journey of bumping up against, as I talk about on the show, like, what traditional masculinity is supposed to be. And it wasn't until, you know-- there was a lot of steps on this journey, and I'm sure there's a lot more to go, but it wasn't until watching "Drag Race" that I finally was just like, you know, here are these-- these beautiful artists-- these-- these political talents-- that are going out there and being the biggest, boldest versions of their authentic selves. What the fuck am I waiting on? Like, what do I have to worry about? Like, I'm a cishet white guy who's had so much privilege my entire life. Why-- why am I holding back in any way?

And so it was really inspiring. The show really inspired me, and-- and it just was something where, probably the second or third episode in, my partner and I, we were watching it, and she turned to me. And she was just like, you know, you would-- you would kill on this show. And I was like, I would fucking love to be on this show. And it's so wild that this sort of serendipitous series of events actually resulted in me getting on, and I got to live that out and fulfill and explore that part of me that I knew was there, but had yet to actually be formally introduced to.

MONET X CHANGE: Yeah. And I will say, because you-- I think you are a prime example of-- because you had the incident, in 2010, with the gay jokes or whatever. You were like, listen, I get it. I understand. But to take that and to kind of turn toxic masculinity on its head and be like, hey, listen, I made mistakes and I grew from it. Like, was that your goal to show that it is OK for people to grow and change and learn from their mistakes?

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: You know, first of all, thank you for bringing that up because it is-- it weighs on me so heavily still. Like, just the education that I've had, not only since then, but even prior to that, where it's like, you know, I was raised in the '90s and early 2000s where, yeah, not only was misogyny and toxic masculinity, like, so prevalent in everything. But like, homophobia, and this idea of a "gay joke" at all, like, that existed in such prolific ways all over media and pop culture. And it wasn't-- it wasn't until I really just started listening to, you know, my mom telling me, like, you know, when I was just like in high school and stuff, like, you know, those gay jokes aren't OK.

And then, as I grew up and you really start to understand the implications of all that, and how harmful and hurtful that is, even in the smallest thing that you say, like, there's no reason for it. All you're doing is perpetrating ignorance and hate. And so, again, for me to be welcomed onto the show, it was not by any means-- like, it wasn't something I was planning to do, and it was not a part of any kind of apology tour, by any means. It was just like, I was just so grateful to be welcomed into that family. And to be-- I feel like, to be shown that I can be loved for being who I am, including all of my mistakes in the past just like everybody else, which I think is this beautiful thing about not just "Drag Race," the show, but drag in general. It's like, you know, it's all about love. And what better thing and more important thing do we need in the world right now than just a beaming, like, ray of love shooting out of our TV screens for everybody to hopefully learn something from?

MONET X CHANGE: People feel your heart and people know. You know what I mean? Like, what you did on "Celebrity Drag Race," you understand it was-- I mean, I was watching it. I was at home tearing up. It was just so good just to see a great representation of what an ally is.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Oh, my god. That means so much. That means so much.

MONET X CHANGE: So OK. I have to tell you, I was, I think, on a flight to Minneapolis, like, two years ago when I discovered "Schitt's Creek," and my life has never been the same. The show is so good, and it has taken over pop culture. People love the show. When did you realize it was such a phenomenon?

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: You know, I think the thing with all of us on the show is like, we all just signed on because it's like, hey, you want an opportunity to work with Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy?

MONET X CHANGE: Who says no? Yeah.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah, we're absolutely. Again, I've always wanted to be in comedy, so this is just like a dream come true. And-- and then, yeah, like most shows in Canada, it's always kind of done with this assumption that you're lucky if Canada is interested in it.

[LAUGHTER]

You know what I mean? And then, all of a sudden, it's like-- it's like-- like, Canada got on board. And then-- and then, I think around season four was when Netflix picked it up.

MONET X CHANGE: No, no, it was on-- I mean, I don't when it was in real life. But I feel like it was shortly after season two. But again, you would know way better than me. I'm like, no. Let me tell you.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah, yeah. Maybe you're right. I don't-- because it was on Pop TV, as well, and then-- and then--

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, OK. Yeah.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Everyone knows that network. So I think it's from the--

[LAUGHTER]

I think it's one of those things where it's like, whenever it actually finally hit Netflix was when people were able to binge it and really get an appreciation for the show and the voice, I think. And it's-- it's just one of those things where it's so bizarre. Again, as Canadians, we're never expecting anybody to really get on board with anything we're doing. And then to have it continue to blow-- and it's weird for a show to do-- like, pop and then continue popping and getting bigger and bigger. Usually, it has, like, a little burst and then everyone loses interest. But for us, it's-- it's been this incredible thing where people just are more and more into it as time goes on.

MONET X CHANGE: Yeah, and now it's going into the final season. And I get it. You want to end it on a high note, but I'm like, girl, I think y'all have got at least five more seasons up in that motherfucker. But, you know what?

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: I mean. Yeah, I think that was the cool thing where, like, there was a lot of talk to just sort of end it in a concise thing, and like, have it-- have it not be something where eventually, you lose that audience and that interest, and have it be celebrated for what it is in those six seasons. You know, there's a lot of fan chatter about trying to do a movie or, like, a reunion or something like that. I feel like that-- that's probably not impossible, but I think, again, we want to ride out all the success of it now. And then, once we're all broke and starving and need a paycheck, [INAUDIBLE] back up again and get back into it.

MONET X CHANGE: That was also my biggest thing is that, on season one-- and you can tell me the tea on this-- I feel like, to make you seem unattractive, they had you in, like, dowdy clothes. And I feel like they had a gray filter on you. And then you pop out in season two, and I literally-- you look like-- you know-- you know Hercules, the cartoon movie, when he gets his god strength, and he's, like, gold? I was like, that's literally what happened to you in season two. You just became, like, glimmered. You were like a fucking "Twilight" character.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: No, I think that's just what the air looks like in Canada. And they've actually started getting better filters to put in front of the camera to make me look better.

[LAUGHTER]

Yeah, no. It was a thing where it's like-- again, I was grateful for it because, for me, you know, I'm-- I-- all I want to do is just sort of make people laugh, and it was-- it was great to be cast in a role where it's like, that was sort of the job. I was playing the straight man, but it was also like-- it wasn't about taking off my shirt or something like that until later in the show, and then that became part of it.

[LAUGHTER]

Unfortunately. [INAUDIBLE]

MONET X CHANGE: Dustin, you are-- you are great. You are-- I know you're Canadian, but I feel like you could be-- you definitely are an American sweetheart because we-- the kids, the people, the girls, the men, the boys-- everyone-- we love you. You're great.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: I mean, again, I am so, so honored to have you say that. I mean, I-- I-- I love you so much. I love the "X Change Rate."

MONET X CHANGE: No, I'm a big fan of yours. If-- if I was one of the mentors, would you have chosen me to be your mentor.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: This is the thing. Like, I-- so luckily-- so OK. So I love Nina. I love--

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, this sounds shady. He's like, no--

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: No, it's not about the-- It's not about to be shady. It is because if you and if, like, Alyssa and like-- honestly, I hadn't yet seen Bob and Kim Chi's season when we filmed.

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, OK.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: And so it was just-- it was-- for me, it was like, not only do I love Nina or her heart-- or big, big heart and her-- her big, big hands.

MONET X CHANGE: And her really big hands and her really big [INAUDIBLE]. All those things, uh-huh.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: But I hadn't yet seen Bob and Kim Chi's season, so it was an easy one for me. But honestly, if you had been there and, like, Monique-- oh, my god. I would have-- like, that would have been really difficult for me.

MONET X CHANGE: Stunning!

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah, stunning!

[LAUGHTER]

Yeah, it would've been so, so hard to do. But again, I just-- I think that's-- I think that's the magic of the show is that, you know, you have so many favorites. It's like, you guys you need to come out with, like, trading cards, you know what I mean?

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, my god. They should. Like, fuck Pokemon Go. Drag Race Go.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah, yeah. It's like--

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, my god. Like, Pokemon, there are, like, 150 of us. That is so--

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you could call it, like-- like Tuck-'em-and-Go, or something like that. Like, you know what I mean? Just--

[LAUGHTER]

I don't know.

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, my god. Dustin, thank you so much for chatting with me. Good luck with-- with-- with all-- hopefully, the "Schitt's Creek" movie and some other things. I'm going to pray and light a candle about it tonight in Jesus' name.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Thank you. Thank you.

MONET X CHANGE: And I saw that Instagram video of you walking in heels. I give you a solid 8 and 1/2 out of 10.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Wow, that's also the size I am in women's heels. So that's-- that's weird that you would throw that out there.

[LAUGHTER]

MONET X CHANGE: Thank you so much, Dustin. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And tell your partner I said, hey, girl.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: I will. Thank you very much, Monét.

MONET X CHANGE: All right.

DUSTIN MILLIGAN: Bye.

MONET X CHANGE: Bye. Food, glorious food. No, it's not just the lyrics from "Oliver Twist." It's also what I find myself saying every time I cook with Jacklynn Hyde. That and, can I have some more, please? Take a look.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Trust me, I am ready to handle this meat.

[LAUGHTER]

MONET X CHANGE: Well, I hope this beef is uncut, you know what I'm saying?

[LAUGHTER]

JACKLYNN HYDE: I'm nervous. What kind of beef did you get?

MONET X CHANGE: Honey, I got grade A Kobe beef, honey.

JACKLYNN HYDE: No, you did not. At that grocery store you're always complaining about?

MONET X CHANGE: You're right. No, I did not. This is, like, 80% sirloin. Some bullshit like that.

JACKLYNN HYDE: We have a nice fatty meat, you know?

MONET X CHANGE: I heard of this really good fatty beef on Craigslist.

JACKLYNN HYDE: I think they shut that page down. That used to be where I pedaled mine.

[LAUGHTER]

We need a pound of beef, or however much you're using. So we're just doing a little bit of worcestershire sauce-- "worsh-ta-sheer," "wersh-ta-sure" sauce-- "wer-chester-shire"-- "war-shta-sure," "war-shtur-sure" sauce, worcestershire sauce. We're doing mustard, onion, garlic, egg, dill. That's it.

MONET X CHANGE: My dill don't look like that? What's the "dill" with that? This is fresh dill, honey.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Mine's sad. I am going to start with the onion because it's my least favorite part.

MONET X CHANGE: My beef is uncut, but my onions are cut.

JACKLYNN HYDE: A nice Jewish onion. So I'm lighting a candle, and that will burn the sulfur. I shouldn't cry.

MONET X CHANGE: I'm getting a candle.

JACKLYNN HYDE: I always wonder how they make actors cry in movies.

MONET X CHANGE: Kerry Washington, she'll cry for anything. She's fierce, bitch.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Do you ever watch "Scandal"?

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, bitch, I-- I-- yes. You think I just turned black yesterday? Ooh, this smell like perfume.

JACKLYNN HYDE: I'm going to mince my garlic.

MONET X CHANGE: Ingenuity. Minced garlic from the Iberian Peninsula. It's sickening, girl.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Where the hell is Iberia?

MONET X CHANGE: What do you mean, where is Li-- bitch, it's where Liberia's at.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Oh, Liberia. I thought you said Iberia. I was like, what the hell is that?

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, no. It is. I-- Iberia is where Liberia is at.

JACKLYNN HYDE: It is?

MONET X CHANGE: Yes. Iberia lies next to Iberia-- Liberia.

JACKLYNN HYDE: And are they anywhere near Siberia?

MONET X CHANGE: Garlic also makes your stuff taste good-- like, your ejaculate fluids?

JACKLYNN HYDE: It does? I can't imagine that's true.

MONET X CHANGE: It does.

JACKLYNN HYDE: If I'm sucking a dick, I'm exactly where I want to be. I will not be sharing this episode with my grandmother.

MONET X CHANGE: Listen, let me tell you something. Your grandma's probably sucked a dick in her life, all right? That's just real. Everybody grandma have.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Oh, my god. I've never even thought about that.

MONET X CHANGE: Yes. Same with mine. Same with yours and yours and yours and yours.

JACKLYNN HYDE: I added a little worcestershire sauce, too. I don't know why that word bugs me so much. Here we go. We're mixing it until it comes to a nice, like, sticky ball.

MONET X CHANGE: Jacklynn, you know I have fisted someone before, and this is a very familiar feeling for me. Chefs are obsessed with fucking cast iron. You are so proud too. She was like, and look what I have, guys. All right.

Look what I have. Marshall's, $10.95. I have to get my pan nice and pre-heated, correct?

JACKLYNN HYDE: Yeah, and a little oil on there. Do you like blue cheese?

MONET X CHANGE: I like sharp white cheddar.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Am I your type?

[LAUGHTER]

You're going to flatten it and you're going to make a little indentation in the middle. That way, they don't get all--

MONET X CHANGE: Bulbous. The little fuckers got fucking elephantiasis.

JACKLYNN HYDE: I'm adding a little salt to the top of these.

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, I love my-- my tops salted as well.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Let it sit there for, like, five minutes. Lazy bottoms, these burgers.

MONET X CHANGE: This-- OK. I'm not even saying this because this bitch is here. This smells very good. Oh, my hair! If you make these, tag us on Instagram, Instagram story. Do you know what? For your courtesy, we're gonna put Jacklynn's Instagram right here.

[DING]

I put all four of mine in the pan, which is crowded in here, girl. This fucking pan look like the [INAUDIBLE] two, OK? I'm using Ezekiel bread for mine.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Show me the bread. I'm sad.

MONET X CHANGE: I done flipped these damn burgers, like, 18 times now.

JACKLYNN HYDE: They're going to be black.

MONET X CHANGE: And what's wrong with that, Jacklynn?

JACKLYNN HYDE: Well, you said you're a burger connoisseur.

MONET X CHANGE: What's wrong with that, Jacklynn? What's wrong with a black burger, Jacklynn?

JACKLYNN HYDE: Every time.

MONET X CHANGE: Ow! A fucking onion fucking ricocheted and hit me on my goddamn knuckle.

JACKLYNN HYDE: The amount of shrapnel in your kitchen is terrifying to me.

MONET X CHANGE: What's the deal with the dill?

JACKLYNN HYDE: I added the dill to the meat.

MONET X CHANGE: When?

JACKLYNN HYDE: I think we covered that.

MONET X CHANGE: No we did not. Roll the footage. You know what? Honestly, Jacklynn, I'm serious. This is just a deal-breaker for me. I can't-- I can't do this anymore. Oh, my god, are you done? This is the first time you've ever finished before me. I just want everyone to know that. I'm not mad, but I'm just saying.

JACKLYNN HYDE: You know what? It's because I'm a generous lover.

MONET X CHANGE: Jacklynn, this was so fun. Thank you for this lovely burger recipe. I can't wait to taste it. Ooh, that dill tastes nas-- uh-uh. [SPITTING] I always swallow, and this-- this is the first time I spit in my life, honey.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Grandma, I'm very sorry.

[LAUGHTER]

MONET X CHANGE: Grandma, she's not. All right, my dear. I'll talk to you soon, OK?

JACKLYNN HYDE: Yeah, I'll talk to you later, babe.

MONET X CHANGE: All right, bye.

JACKLYNN HYDE: Bye.

[BEEP]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, miss thing, miss thing. Season 12 is hot up in here. She was the New York City beautiful, gorgeous representation of what it is to be a New York bitch. Welcome, Miss Jackie Cox.

JACKIE COX: Hi.

MONET X CHANGE: Ja--

[LAUGHTER]

JACKIE COX: It's a [INAUDIBLE].

MONET X CHANGE: Where did you get that? Where did you get that?

JACKIE COX: You know, the internet. This is all I do is I just shop online and sit on my couch. And here I am.

MONET X CHANGE: I love that you're giving me, like, power business woman. I feel like you own 18 companies.

JACKIE COX: Well, I do. I do own 18 companies. And I-- and I-- and I own this pussy cat wig I wore just for you, Monét.

MONET X CHANGE: I love-- I love the coif. She has movement. She looks-- she looks great.

JACKIE COX: You know who actually told me-- because I used to just plop these pussycat wigs on my head from time to time. [INAUDIBLE] one day, just snatched it off my head and said, no. This is not how we do this.

[LAUGHTER]

So she helped me zhuzh them up.

MONET X CHANGE: Can I just say, you were so smart for these fucking glasses. They sell out instantly, and people love that. How did you-- ugh?

JACKIE COX: Well, OK. I-- I got lucky in that I was able to-- when I got back from the show, and then the first thing that came out with my interview look, people were like , those glasses, those glasses. And I was like, I still have them in my apartment. And so I was able to, like, find the manufacturer and, we started selling them. And these are the new colors for summer. I'm rocking the Black Ink color.

MONET X CHANGE: Word, girl. They're very, very cute. So Jackie, I keep on calling you Jacqueline because-- especially right now, I just feel like you give me more Jacqueline energy.

JACKIE COX: That's true. Well, and my-- my [INAUDIBLE] did say Jacqueline across the chest, so that is totes apropes.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

What?

MONET X CHANGE: That's what it said on the front?

JACKIE COX: It did. So my-- my-- my [INAUDIBLE] said Jacqueline in Farsi across the front.

MONET X CHANGE: Oooh. OK. So you see, I knew that. It's a full circle connectivity moment. You're welcome.

[LAUGHTER]

So Jackie, I have to say, like, in New York City, I, like-- like, obviously, you're a talented queen and-- it didn't seem like "Drag Race" was something that was on your radar because you were doing your shows at the Beechman. Like, you were doing your own thing. So when I heard you were casted, I was like, oh, shit, I didn't even think Jackie ever wanted to be on "Drag Race."

JACKIE COX: Well, it's not that I never wanted to be. I never thought I could be, and then I never thought maybe I should be.

[LAUGHTER]

Then finally, this year, I was like, well, why not? And also, I love what I was doing with my drag. And you know, doing shows at the Beechman was so cool, but I was like, how do I do shows like this for more people? How do I share my drag around the world? And I thought this was a great chance for me to do that. So I just kind of did it on a whim, and here I am. [LAUGHS]

MONET X CHANGE: And for someone who would think that they wouldn't pay off, girl, look at you. You made it to the top five. That's, like, not a thing most girls can say.

JACKIE COX: Not most girls, but some girls.

MONET X CHANGE: Some, but not most, bitch, not most. And you made it so far with no challenge wins. Jackie, now, I have to-- I am very gagged, because for Snatch Game, I did "The Pit Stop with Bob," and I was like, oh, Jackie should have won Snatch Game the house down. What is your-- what are your honest feelings about it?

JACKIE COX: Well, my honest feelings are that Gigi was so funny and that's the name of the game. I think we think of Snatch Game as, like, a celebrity impersonation challenge. But I think Ru just really wants to have a good time, and I think Gigi made Ru laugh the most.

So that's what I think clinched it for her. But you know, I'm still happy with how I did. And you know, I mean, I think Lisa Rinna is such a fun celebrity, and she's been amazing since the show. So I have no regrets with my snatch game.

MONET X CHANGE: And then, going into the political challenge-- and obviously, I'm sure you've been asked this question, and talked about it so much already. But with the Jeff Goldblum thing, in the moment, was it as intense as we felt watching it?

JACKIE COX: It was intense. Not because-- you know, people have asked me, like, oh, do you think Jeff was trying to, like, insult you? I don't think that. I think-- you know, but my-- my feeling was just, OK, this is my chance to really stand up for what I think this outfit represents and hopefully shed some light on that. So for me, it was just a moment of a lot of pressure to not screw this moment up when I could actually, hopefully, you know, enlighten some hearts and minds, and I'm glad it's opened up a conversation.

MONET X CHANGE: Yeah, 100%. And something you pointed out-- and I was just reading some of your responses to it-- that people love to-- love to throw those daggers at Islam. I'm like, bitch, all these religions-- Catholicism, Christianity, they all are shitty to women and queer people. So why is-- I was confused as to why you chose that. Well, I guess, obviously, because of what you were wearing and your heritage and stuff like that. But it's like, girl, look at all these religions. They're all fucked up.

JACKIE COX: Sure. And I think, you know, what I really wanted to talk about was more like personal freedom of expression with this outfit, which is something that, unfortunately, I think is sometimes in danger in this country, right? We're supposed to be living in America, where it's founded on all these freedoms, and yet I know all of us, in different ways, can feel like those freedoms are threatened or our-- you know, our safety is threatened if we actually choose to express who we are. And so that's kind of what you know what I wanted to stand up for and say, no. If you are proud of your faith or proud of your culture, like, say it loud and proud.

MONET X CHANGE: Love that. And so now, I-- talk to me about your genealogy. OK, so your family is Persian and you lived in Canada. What age did you come to New York?

JACKIE COX: Yeah, so my mom is Persian. My mom's from Iran. My mom moved here around the time of the revolution in Iran, which was in the late '70s. My dad and his whole family are Canadian.

MONET X CHANGE: Got it.

JACKIE COX: So my parents met in Canada, and I only lived there when I was very young, and then I'd just go back in the summertime to visit my relatives in Toronto and British Columbia. But I've lived kind of all over the United States for most of my childhood because I followed my mom around to different hospitals and universities where she was doing medical research.

MONET X CHANGE: Got it. OK.

JACKIE COX: I was kind of a medical research brat, if you will. And I didn't-- I moved to New York for the first time in 2010.

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, OK. Ooh, so you've been here for a while.

JACKIE COX: [INAUDIBLE] as well, in between there. But I've been here, on and off, for the last 10 years.

MONET X CHANGE: Work, work, work, work.

JACKIE COX: Yeah.

MONET X CHANGE: So and you know we had Dustin Milligan on the show. Maybe-- maybe we can get you in the "Schitt's Creek" movie. Would you be into about?

JACKIE COX: Very available. But you know, I mean, gosh, what an attractive cast. I mean, Eugene, Daniel, Dustin, please, call me. I mean, I also love-- of course, of course, of course-- we cannot forget Moira and Alexis are incredible. It's such an amazing, amazing group. I mean, Catherine O'Hara is a Canadian icon.

MONET X CHANGE: Iconic. But still, have you-- has your mom watched your show? Has she had any opinions-- good-- good, bad, or indifferent?

JACKIE COX: I think, like every mom, she has a lot of opinions. And I think you'll see some of that this Friday on the reunion. You'll see some--

MONET X CHANGE: Ooh.

JACKIE COX: --some answers to some of those questions that, honestly, I've had for my whole life. So I'm-- I'm highly anticipating what everyone will see on Friday.

MONET X CHANGE: Oh, now, this reunion, I don't want no sock-hop, oh, yeah, kumbaya, we all love, buh-buh-buh. I want some-- some good shit.

JACKIE COX: You'll have to see what happens. I'll say this. I think our cast is really uniquely bonded. I mean, we felt very close throughout filming the season, but I think, with a lot of the events that happened around the season, especially this pandemic, it's kind of brought us together because we really-- you know, I think normally, they say, like, the only people who understand what you're going through are other "Drag Race" girls, which is true. But then the only people who really understand what it's like to get on "Drag Race" and have this whole crazy moment happen to you, and then be locked in your house for 12 weeks is just our cast.

[LAUGHTER]

So we've definitely been leaning on each other and trying to support each other through this just very weird time-- very weird time. But you'll have to see what dirt is dug up at the reunion.

MONET X CHANGE: Well, you know, a lot of people are like, ooh, I had heard rumors that, in the reunion, they're announcing that Jackie is going to the finales, yada, yada, yada, yada. So who knows what's going to happen? I'm excited to see what cards might come out.

JACKIE COX: Yeah, stay tuned. I mean, I've heard a lot-- a lot of different things, and I will neither confirm nor deny any of them because I can't, by law.

[LAUGHTER]

MONET X CHANGE: So you agree Trixie is a fucking bitch. Great. And--

[LAUGHTER]

--what is one of the biggest disappointments for you from the show?

JACKIE COX: I think my biggest disappointment was the Madonna Rusical. Because I mean, you know me. Like, I like to sing and dance a little, but that was one where I just-- the whole challenge got away from me. The song was completely out of my vocal range. You know, I didn't really clue into the sexiness that I know Michelle, especially, was looking for. I think, you know, I was so glad I got this chance in this rusical-- this Vegas rusical-- to, like, kind of have a little redemption, on both the singing and the dancing front for Jamal. When-- when Jamal said I brought a little bit of sauce, I was like, oh, thank god.

[LAUGHTER]

MONET X CHANGE: Not oh, thank god, Jackie. You are so crazy.

JACKIE COX: The jiggle heard around the world.

MONET X CHANGE: The jiggle-- listen, as Monique Heart said, at least I wiggle. That was her claim to-- whatever happened, at least she wiggled as she did her do. Oh, so before you go, I do-- I've been asking all the girls this question. You know, especially with what you guys are going through and being out at home, I guess you guys have a lot of time to think. What do you think your stamp on drag slash "Drag Race" is going to be? Like, you look at the Lady Bunnies and you know what they do. You look at the Alyssas. Like, what is the Jackie Cox handprint on "Drag Race"? Drag.

JACKIE COX: I think-- well, I think what I did this season, and I'm so happy that I did it, was I hopefully was able to bring to life some serious things that are happening in this country that affect queer people and Middle Eastern people and talk about them and express them in my drag. And at the same time, remind everyone that, like, although those things are important and serious, they can still co-exist with, like, fun and camp and ridiculousness. And I think that that's something-- drag is one of those unique art forms that can toe that line between the absurd and the super important. And so hopefully, I was able to somehow find my way in the middle of that. And if not, at least I was a cat.

[LAUGHTER]

MONET X CHANGE: Well, and I-- that's what I love because I think people forget that drag-- innately, drag is a political statement. Like, when you get dressed in your apartment in the Bronx, in-- in Harlem, in Hell's Kitchen-- wherever you live-- and you walk out of your apartment, you are making a statement-- a political statement. So I love the fact that you didn't shy away from that and you were just-- you were being real about the politics of drag, but also the fun of it. So it was really good to see.

JACKIE COX: Thanks, Monét.

MONET X CHANGE: Of course, my dear. It was a pleasure having you. Good luck at the reunion. Good luck in the finale-eeeee? You're not going to say nothing? Shady bitch. [LAUGHS] Thank you so much for being a guest here today, my dear.

JACKIE COX: Any time you want me, I am here for you. I will need my Monét X Changed immediately after this show.

[LAUGHTER]

MONET X CHANGE: Denied.

[LAUGHTER]

Be well, be safe, and wash your hands, girl.

JACKIE COX: You-- you know I will.

MONET X CHANGE: All right.

JACKIE COX: I love you.

MONET X CHANGE: Love you, baby. Muah.

[INAUDIBLE]

[LAUGHTER]

That's it's, y'all. Another show in the bucket. Doesn't it fly so quickly? I feel like we, like, just got started. Before I go, I want to shout out the amazing women who work on the "X Change Rate." They're great and they're fierce, and I love them. Shout-out to Savannah [? Demarru, ?] Courtney Soliday, Samantha [? Beau, ?] Brianna Randall, and Bridget Lopez. Thank y'all so much for your hard work. Literally-- a lot of them, from day one, they've been working super hard on this show, and I really, really, really, really appreciate it.

That's it. Don't forget to wash your hands, soak your feet, and remember to always keep your currency in check.

[KISS SOUND]
