I'm a bit late to this discussion - but I have been a messy queen for four years, and I just love your friendship and your dynamic. If you have the time and energy I would love a live where you do something you like and we can hang out with you with no editing, like the halloween watch party, or when you were on your friend kevins Twitch. But everybody has mental health, and the patreon exclusives where you talk about your lives more than justifies the messy queen membership.

2025-03-02 12:37:35 +0000 UTCOk being a long suffering Messy Queen, let me just say- we understand, being messy (queens!) ourselves, we know it’s hard to juggle a million things without dropping a few balls once in a while. And mental illness. We love you- legitimately. ….that said…. I DID send you a private message or two last spring/summer because I signed up and used my full name and address just so I could get the mailer you said MQ get… and never got it… or a response… but I’m not angry 😅! Because I have compassion. Ok, I’m joking. (Mostly). We love you guys. Nobody’s perfect (except Lee Pace).

2025-02-28 14:48:47 +0000 UTCThings I want as a patron: 1) Alexis singing a Lady Gaga choral medley of: ARTPOP (as in the title track of ARTPOP), Abracadabra, and Joanne (as in the title track of Joanne). 2) I felt so seen when you brought up the Mera Mangle saga. As a fellow closeted Mangler, I wanna hear what you think about her return? 3) maybe some fun & arbitrary polls?
Michael Maxwell
2025-02-28 02:28:43 +0000 UTCI remember when I joined that it was promised to receive a private message which never happened and I have moved forward you both are hilarious and I stay because I enjoy the laughter
Nicholas Duncan
2025-02-21 14:52:11 +0000 UTCJust spit ballin, could we see some “getting ready” videos/chats? How about P. Verbles working on wigs while y’all chat. Let’s be honest, we just can’t get enough of you 2 & your loving & sarcastic friendship!👑👑💛💛💛😂🤣
Tina HotDish
2025-02-21 02:38:23 +0000 UTCThe only thing I can think of in terms of missing is when I see a video come out on YouTube the same day as it’s on patreon. Makes it feel kinda like oh so why am I paying for the patreon. Love u both and love hearing chat at the beginning but I feel like with sibling rivalry one of the main reasons I pay for their patreon is to have it earlier than when it comes out for everyone else. I’d rather have that before any additional content!
Adam Travis
2025-02-20 10:32:41 +0000 UTCI loooove Kori so much! She’s definitely my favorite Queen this season, hands down. She may not be the most polished Queen but I love the fact that she is having fun and doesn’t take things too seriously. I love that she can laugh and roll with the punches during critiques. I don’t care if she’s doing “well” on the show. She’s very endearing to me.
Ashley Nicholson
2025-02-19 20:45:32 +0000 UTCI remember you said you had a lot of anxiety when you started watching Severance—did that improve as the show went on? it feels like a horrifying concept for a show
green24green
2025-02-19 17:54:37 +0000 UTCIt’s INSANE to think Gen Z shouldn’t know who the Golden Girls are. They had an entire year off in 2020 to study gay culture. Know your history or gtfo. I wasn’t alive for half the shit I’ve seen either …
Luke Wallis
2025-02-19 17:23:49 +0000 UTCJust jumping in to echo this, my thoughts exactly (I got Patreon just for you and this is my first comment ever on any Patreon or Youtube content but it had to be said). 💙
Lala
2025-02-18 15:11:20 +0000 UTCAppreciate you both for being open about us with what you're feeling right now. For me para mi, any extra patreon content is just a bonus, I view my being a patron as a thanks for the literal years of entertainment you've given for free. Genuinely look forward to when you release videos because you're always so consistently funny. Anyway, that's enough of me being earnest for a while k bye
Brennan M.
2025-02-18 07:23:34 +0000 UTCjust want to echo what people have already said - i don't subscribe to your patreon with any expectation other than that i just want to see you guys more/earlier - love ya'll

2025-02-17 11:15:25 +0000 UTCOn the topic of Patreon-only compilations.. IMHO is my comfort show. I had a baby two weeks ago and for the 24 hours I was in labor I had a queue of all the Patreon-only videos from a long time ago. I watched it straight through the most painful experience of my life and it kept me going and brought me so many moments of levity. Y’all really make a difference to people.
Kay
2025-02-17 08:37:33 +0000 UTCExactly this! I became a Messy Queen as a thank-you and keep-it-up for just the videos I was watching on YouTube, and had no expectation for my financial backing to then garner anything extra. I didn’t know about the Patreon-Only stuff, I didn’t expect any interaction with the queens, I just wanted to leave well-earned tips. The idea that anyone would grizzle about not getting ‘their money’s worth’ makes me really sad too. xx
Miss Jess
2025-02-17 04:17:04 +0000 UTCYall should have a segment called "but what does Grant think?" where he comments on the runways. We need straight representation on this show, Maddy Morphosis can only do so much.
Jose
2025-02-17 03:06:44 +0000 UTCDear Alexis and Darby, Hi, I’m one of your newer patrons. I’ve never commented because I never felt the need to, but watching this episode – particularly the Patreon section – made me incredibly, intensely sad, which propelled me to write this. Precisely what made me sad was your reaction to a comment a fellow patron made. (I haven’t read the original, I only heard you two talking about it. I’m not here to badmouth the person; from Darby’s reaction, it feels like the patron had good intentions.) If I may, I’d like to give you my two cents. You are putting the love out there / here. You are working extremely hard. Were you to work harder than you already are, I’m afraid it would chip away from you till you had nothing left to give. Those who can’t perceive that the both of you work hard obviously have no understanding of the complexity your career entails or even what it takes for people with trauma and/or neurodivergence to survive, let alone thrive. (I’m not even gonna mention the sociopolitical and ecological catastrophes you have been and are currently enduring.) You are not letting anyone down. If someone feels let down by you, it's up to them. Could there be more finesse to your shows, scripts, editing, responsibilities? Strictly technically – yes. The same goes for anything else on this Earth. It could go on forever if perfection was a practical, achievable and senseful goal. Don’t let late-stage capitalism and the deviant, Western definition of success run your lives, crush your joy, ruin your health and make you forget true values. Personally – I would keep on being your patron even if you were you to post occasionally, whenever *you* wanted to, to support you and your work. You bring me joy and, for the sake of nothing but altruism, I’d like to give you something in return. That’s it. Love you girls so much. I hope you’re safe and having fun in Champagne. XOXO, MG

2025-02-16 22:24:20 +0000 UTCWhile listening to you talk about the references and media differences, I realized if Drag race ever has a skibidi toilet runway, I'm going to have to stop watching. (I have a ten year old at my house) Love you both, and appreciate you both very much.
Cinnamon
2025-02-16 06:50:10 +0000 UTCPatrons send in pics of their hands and Darby rates them.
brian vann
2025-02-16 03:17:12 +0000 UTCI think it’s also important to remember that Darby you are juggling THREE different shows/podcasts and Alexis two. I am so happy with the content I have as a Patreon and will continue to subscribe!
Jacob V.
2025-02-16 02:37:40 +0000 UTCSorry if others already said some of these I didn’t read the comments before I posted lol.
Jacob V.
2025-02-16 02:32:24 +0000 UTCRandom question: Would it help you all to have like a cheat sheet while you watch? Like a spreadsheet with all the queens so you can rank them based on the episode quickly? Have a section where you can write notable quotes, and you could paste the links from drag.looks? Just a suggestion, I have no idea how long it takes yall to take notes while you’re watching and thought some efficiency might take away from some of the burnout. Video Ideas: I would love to see a video where you all get ready for the video, like putting your makeup on/grwm. Just really more banter, I just love y’alls dynamic and love watching you cut up. Alexis could do some videos of making a look (ala Rachel Makesy) or styling a wig. I realize that plenty of drag queens do these types of videos, and I wouldn’t make it the main content, but it would be nice to see someone else’s process. It also might get Alexis’ creative juices flowing for new looks/wigs and give her a side hustle for other queens. A Severance review would be funny too once Alexis got caught up. I loved the wicked review and its non Drag Race related so a little less risk of burnout. Also it would be funny to see severance drag. I really like your P.O. Box vids. Not sure how often you get enough to do them, but they are fun and you all are so appreciative. More Curtis if he’s up for it, maybe one with him and Alexis, you and he, have him on the pod as a special guest. Have your brother come on for an episode to review drag race. He wouldn’t get it but I think it’d be funny to watch him try to navigate. Also, put him in drag the next time he comes to town? While I understand the persons frustration with lack of content, I think it’s important to remember that in this time we are all hanging on by a thread. I think a little grace and understanding could go a long way. It’s always a bright spot in my week to see you all and laugh and forget my troubles for a bit.
Jacob V.
2025-02-16 02:31:32 +0000 UTCFind your bravery or it will find you. SILLY GOOSE.

2025-02-15 22:38:51 +0000 UTCthis is only related because it popped up in my YouTube suggestions while I was watching, but I think we have a love child, Darby.https://www.youtube.com/@darbyj27

2025-02-15 22:09:52 +0000 UTCOh.. my…. God….. this is absolutely happening!
Darby and Alexis
2025-02-15 22:07:32 +0000 UTCHonestly I do love the idea of being above lee pace. Maybe I’m in a hot air balloon and he’s holding the rope that attaches us to the ground? Or maybe I’m on his shoulders in a pool doing a chicken fight….. wait why is it called a chicken fight….. I feel like chickens don’t go in water like that.
Darby and Alexis
2025-02-15 22:06:21 +0000 UTCI’ve been wanting to do sewing videos but I keep getting scared and giving up halfway through lol. I will finish them!
Darby and Alexis
2025-02-15 22:04:04 +0000 UTCI finally was allowed access to the patreon! Thank for this comment! Love all our cum-Muntitty members! -APB
Darby and Alexis
2025-02-15 22:02:57 +0000 UTCNow wait a minute!!!! This would bring me joy AND annoy darby….. it’s like kissing two birds with one open mouth!

Nick Salyers
2025-02-15 20:26:31 +0000 UTCI’m 24 and from the UK and I love The Golden Girls. It’s a quintessential part of queer history. For someone going on Drag Race and likely surrounded by queer people often as a working drag artist, it’s something I just can’t fathom them not being aware of.
Mason Bingley
2025-02-15 19:19:58 +0000 UTCNo need to be in drag but as someone who never goes outside I would love vlog type videos
Shaynge
2025-02-15 18:55:25 +0000 UTCAlexis I want you to tell me about movies I'm never going to see. Darby tell me about K-dramas I'm never going to watch.
brian vann
2025-02-15 18:30:47 +0000 UTCWhen you were recaping 5 franchises and putting out 3 or 4 episodes a week and then they all stopped at kinda the same time it did feel like a drop in content so I get the feedback but we were still getting 1 to 2 posts a week. And doing all those recaps seemed like a slog and I wasn't watching them anyway. I just wanted you in my eyeholes. You ladies are perfect modes and the most smartest too.
brian vann
2025-02-15 18:23:09 +0000 UTCI do the same, put on old episodes to finish my night, so comforting :)
Brian Springer
2025-02-15 17:45:56 +0000 UTCI can honestly say I’ve never felt short changed by this Patreon. I think both of you were very open about how hard last year was. We also know yous edit these episodes yourselves, which is definitely a lot of work. I’m happy for yous to feel like this has lit a fire for yous but don’t burn yourselves out.

2025-02-15 17:31:00 +0000 UTCI’m loving the POD ladies. ❤️❤️❤️
Benjamin Kuntz
2025-02-15 16:14:03 +0000 UTCI think patrons feel shortchanged because IMHO used to have 3 hosts, which is why I think the girls need to get Joella to Join-ella the show. Sign my petition✍️

2025-02-15 15:59:19 +0000 UTCI would love to see an Alexis sewing video
Andy B (;
2025-02-15 15:08:06 +0000 UTC“Can I see you back here” will never get old. I’d love a compilation of darbyisms and finally, when you both talk at the same time is effing hilarious.
Amanda Rubin
2025-02-15 14:52:16 +0000 UTCI appreciate the thought that you’re putting into the Patreon community but I hope going forward you’re not putting too much pressure on yourselves to over-perform and burn yourselves out for our sakes. What the comment you’re referring to failed to acknowledge is that you two are humans, with things that happen outside of your job, just like any of us. I think the majority of us are happy with the value you two bring and can extend you the grace of understanding that this past few months has been a LOT for the both of you. I know I’m rambling but don’t take that comment too seriously.
Isaiah Lawrence
2025-02-15 13:04:06 +0000 UTCI'm really proud of you both and super excited for the future of IMHO and beyond. The podcast has been amazing and I appreciate you being so vulnerable along this journey. From Shot with That One Girl to now, you both impress me so much. Congratulations on 6(!!!?) years, and thank you. <3
Kris Solberg
2025-02-15 09:14:57 +0000 UTCI’m 22 and have watched almost every golden girls episode, it’s a good show to watch w mama.. loved when Bob said Monet was Rose. OMFG y’all should remake: Darby as Dorothy, Alexis as Rose, Monet as Blanche, Bob as Estelle 👀

2025-02-15 07:50:50 +0000 UTCNever heard a celebrity be so honest and direct about their relationship with fans, and she did it as a lion-maned fisting referee. Icons
Jeff Birmingham
2025-02-15 07:32:50 +0000 UTCThis is going to sound a little woe is me but I promise that’s not the what my point is. I’ve got a blood disorder that I’ve had since birth that causes chronic pain. Covid hit and obviously that was crazy for the whole world. Right when things were starting to shut down, I started dealing with cancer treatments then a couple years later had crazy surgery that took over a year to heal. Needless to say, personally, I’ve had a rough few years recently lol. I say all that to tell you that you two have brought me so much joy and escapism throughout all of the bullshit. I rewatch episodes every single night when I’m going to sleep. There’s a comfort that the two of you have given me when I watch your videos that I truly cannot thank you enough for. We all have our own shit we go through. Don’t ever apologize or think you’re not doing good enough. You touch people in ways you don’t even know just by being yourselves. Not to be all weirdly parasocial but I love you both so much and I am so so grateful for the two of you. Thank you so much for sharing yourselves with all of us and for some, being that little bit of time where the rest of the world can fade away and we can just laugh. ❤️

Azul means Blue
2025-02-15 06:13:04 +0000 UTCIn regards to great Patricia Arquette TV shows, may I take your Severence and Escape at Dannemora and raise you a High Desert? Like Severence, it's on Apple TV+. Unlike Severence, it got no press and was cancelled after one season, but it's so good and still worth seeking out. Bernadette Peters plays Patricia Arquette's mom! And Matt Dillon's in it, too.

2025-02-15 04:32:00 +0000 UTCalso I would love a compilation (or a segment if you want) of Alexis explaining the P’s

2025-02-15 03:46:59 +0000 UTCI only have patron because of you both! Your humble hearts are such a breath of fresh air in this shit show of a country right now - so thank YOU for all your work and how much you both share ♥️ sure “drag queens with a podcast how new”, but you both have this insane way of being charming and personable, which many drag queens can’t say! sending love~
christiani.tea
2025-02-15 03:44:51 +0000 UTCI really appreciate the patreon chat because I was just thinking about how I miss when you would interact with us. liking the comments and replying and putting your initial after just made me feel really appreciated. obviously I don't expect. you to comment on every comment when there is a lot but just a little something to show that you see us and we are a community.
Nick Lemon
2025-02-15 01:45:42 +0000 UTCAs someone who runs a podcast’s Patreon, take comments with a grain of salt. A one off salty comment is less than 1% of your fan base. We subscribe because we want to support you, and people complaining about content/benefits can kick rocks. ❤️
Sergio Lopez
2025-02-15 01:19:37 +0000 UTCThere was a time when y'all used to give out your @ info if folks wanted to tip you. For me, that's why I'm a proud Patron. It's a way to say thank you for all the hilarity, the goops, the gags, the trauma dumps, the wheezing, that you give us WEEKLY (multiple times). The way you feed us is WORK and you deserve all the flowers. I'm not going to get pissy over a sticker or card (that I may or may not have gotten) or a few extra posts here and there. You bring us joy, plain and simple. Don't ever change. I...we...love y'all! ❤️❤️❤️

2025-02-15 01:04:15 +0000 UTCI cant stop thinking how happy I am about your tax situation.
Andy B (;
2025-02-15 00:56:12 +0000 UTCYou two!!!! Listen, the reason I am a Messy Queen is to support you and pay directly to you for the laughs and joy you bring to my life! I am so happy to support in my small way. I love that you are doing your podcast(s) and you always make us Patreons feel like part of the family. Would I like a sticker? Sure. But it also amuses me that you it said right there in the fine print when I signed up that it may never come and I love you both for that! because I am a messy queen in all the ways so that is some relatable shit. I would also probably never send out the sticker. It makes it feel like a little inside joke. The only thing I would like is another game night! I know you all had one right before I became a Patreon and I would love love to do that-but NO PRESSURE!! I am happy and I love you both!
Megamegsmeg 🩷💜💙🏳️🌈
2025-02-15 00:53:37 +0000 UTCI have so many thoughts. First and foremost, I think y’all provide a ton of quality content and I’m sorry that patron’s comment made you feel this way. You’re not letting us down, you’re not charging us too much for the tier that WE’RE choosing to subscribe to, and I hope you won’t take that minority opinion too much to heart. We love y’all and, at this point, we know what we’re in for. Also, no shade to any of the girls, it was kind of a gag to see Darby go in the hardest on Kori. Was she wrong? Not really, but those critiques came in HOT and I wasn’t expecting it! Finally, I completely agree with what Alexis said. Prep time before the show is notoriously short, but if you’re even considering auditioning, you should be doing your homework (common references, sewing, etc) if you want to have any sort of chance of being successful in the competition! Okay, love you both, read Paint, bye 💋

Mazen
2025-02-15 00:07:37 +0000 UTCMaybe a day early upload of the podcast?
Mazen
2025-02-14 23:55:20 +0000 UTCMaybe yall could review other shows you watch that dont have that many episodes so its not that much of a commitment, something like Severance or Last of Us, or have the patrons vote on what shows yall have already watched to review. Love yall so any content yall make is entertaining at the end of the day
Max
2025-02-14 23:48:54 +0000 UTCAs an on and off patreon, I genuinely think you provide plenty of content for the 10 or less bucks a month we spend. However, if you really think you need more content or to add to the value of Patreon, I think the Messy Queens podcast was wonderful as I just love the interaction between you two. And maybe you can use that to introduce us to more people from your world as well. Maybe people that wouldn't necessarily be the best fit for the new podcast, but that we'd still love. That being said, as long as I can afford it, I'm plenty happy with what I already get when I can sub! <3
Brian Springer
2025-02-14 23:47:53 +0000 UTCYou guys should take voicemails or video submissions so people can tell you their stories in their words because no other drag queen pod cast does that, well bc you guys are the first of course, but you really could be pioneers in this industry. 😄
Sumner
2025-02-14 23:24:30 +0000 UTCFor me being a Messy Queen isn't about getting anything extra. It's about supporting the content and the Ladies who create that content. I love you both and you bring me so much joy. I appreciate who you are and every Messy penny is well spent!
just kc
2025-02-14 23:21:24 +0000 UTCI'd like to see a special episode of Twinnuendo where it's just Alexis having a 40 minute green-screen conversation with herself in a different wig
Liam G
2025-02-14 23:09:06 +0000 UTCHonestly I feel like the patreon is worth every penny and I’m an IMHO super fan! I rewatch old episodes and than I watch stuff on YouTube too! I’ve honestly been more worried about the IMHO girls taking on more things! I don’t want them to burn out or feel bad because I love what y’all do!
Vincent
2025-02-14 22:57:35 +0000 UTCOh oh, sorry, I already commented, but an idea for an extra thing — Whenever someone requests a cam/shameo, you can ask them if it’s they consent to sharing it with the patreon, then you dump em all in a google drive folder at the end of the month and post an announcement link here?
Ricardo Robles
2025-02-14 22:57:00 +0000 UTCThis was a great episode b/c it made me hopeful about future content. My husband and I absolutely love Darby and Alexis, but TBH, we couldn’t see what we were paying for besides a few extra moments before the review episodes..when/if we get them. Again, absolutely love, Darby and Alexis and the show. Not gonna stop being fans, but just stepping back from the Patreon and hope for more content in the future. ❤️
Frandy
2025-02-14 22:53:32 +0000 UTCI mean, this is work. You deserve to be paid. End of story.
Squisha
2025-02-14 22:48:11 +0000 UTCI just want to say I've been a Patreon for a while and I love it. I love the early access and the little BTS stuff. It's shady to say oh you shouldn't start a pod since you're not doing XYZ. Says who? Everyone does Patreon different.
Narcissa Deville
2025-02-14 22:47:34 +0000 UTCRespectfully disagree with whoever that critical person was. You’re totally fine. If you were more on top of things/productive it would make me feel inadequate. As it is, I get to feel morally superior. (Just kidding, my life is a mess.) i like that you all are real, authentic, spontaneous, etc. If you were all regimented and stuff that would be weird.

2025-02-14 22:44:44 +0000 UTCI commented before watching more. Just sing more and continue being the lovely people you are ❤️❤️❤️

Bjork surfin the net
2025-02-14 22:36:32 +0000 UTCWhat about a comment section where Patreon can ask you to repeat a bit or song that we loved that you did once. Like I’m still hoping for another “what if God was one of us” Macarena dance. LOL
Daniel Mark
2025-02-14 22:36:02 +0000 UTCNewer commenter here- that other person has every right to vocalize their thoughts on the Patreon, but I just wanted to say: idk how long I’ve been subbed for, I have goldfish brain, but I think it’s worth every gay dollar I spend on it, and I really enjoy watching all the content 👏🏼🔥

Mason Kaye
2025-02-14 21:54:47 +0000 UTCHonestly y'all are managing, it's been ROUGH for a lot of content creators through the holidays and into the New Year to just maintain a schedule and survive the craziness. Don't be too hard on yourselves! We love every minute. Coming from me, I do the laziest uploads possible and I think you both could benefit from something similar. Just hit record on the camera, and upload the conversations while you set up the camera or something! The patreon members love you and want whatever we can consume. Compliations are sooo fun but do require the editing effort that can feel overbearing, maybe you guys could upload some sort of "rewind" that you discuss old episodes of Drag Race, Under The Gunn, Survivor, Project Runway, Top Model, very briefly just for the Patreon. or even reflect on your old fashion choices from earlier episodes of IMHO and just make fun of eachother. You guys could also eat gummies, play Fortnite, and record it. OR have Alexis play Granny and you both give commentary. I could send y'all the materials for that and help you set that up. Playing games for long-form content goes a long way, people eat it up and it's so minimal effort. 😭 Sending y'all lots of love ❤️ If there's anything you need help with, I'd be more than happy to help. As a fan, and a member of the small community of drag queens here on the internet lol

2025-02-14 20:54:29 +0000 UTCI'm more than happy with just getting the bonus content for being a Messy Queen, but if you want some lower energy required suggestions: I'd love a chill video series that was just Alexis talking about whatever she feels like while she sews or does wigs, not so much a tutorial but more just "this is what I'm doing, these are my tips and tricks, I like this fabric/I don't like this fabric, here's a movie I watched, etc" and then posted with minimal if any editing, if she ran out of things to say, she could either end the video, call a friend and chat, or even find a way to livestream it and just react to some messages, and it wouldn't have to be a regularly scheduled thing, just when she's like "I wanna just infodump about this thing I like while I'm doing something else" Another idea is a pot of patron submitted songs that you do impromptu karaoke versions of as a warmup before episodes, and whenever you start to run low, you put out a call for another round of song requests Also I'd absolutely watch a video of Alexis (and maybe Darby if she can be convinced) to do Queen Mary if they make it a haunt again this October

2025-02-14 20:40:53 +0000 UTCI think you just need to pay an editor. Outsource that shit!!!! Also Alexis, you said mum 😬

2025-02-14 20:35:34 +0000 UTCI only really got Patreon cos I wanted to support you two and don’t expect anything extra. The Patreon only bits are great to watch. But if you’re looking for ideas then maybe once a month or whatever you could do a viewing where you watch an episode of tv that you want to show each other. You’re always talking about different shows that the other doesn’t watch like k dramas or housewives. Plus then it’d be minimal or zero editing I assume

2025-02-14 20:34:45 +0000 UTCI watch all youtube videos at 2x speed (because I have iPad baby brain) EXCEPT for IMHO uploads. I look forward to your reviews as much as the episodes. I don't have much money, but it's nice to put some of it towards something I actually care about. In my homosexual opinion (para mi) it's not super fun to see people you like being so hard on themselves. However, it is super fun to see people you like being hard on each other. I would encourage you girls to channel your hate outwards, at the person sitting next to you. Externalise (and perhaps weaponise) those negative feelings in a content friendly way. P.S. I listened to some Disco Biscuit music, after you mentioned Curtis playing it in the house, and I feel like I better understand Darby's situation as a result. Mental health x

2025-02-14 20:02:09 +0000 UTCSorry for the college essay but I wanted to say a couple things. First of all, I wanna say, since you mentioned the possibility of bringing on some help, if you need someone to edit, I offered the last time we saw each other in person, which was almost two years ago, but the offer’s still on the table. I’m not a professional editor by any means but I know the basics of Final Cut Pro because I’ve used it on and off for nearly a decade, so I’d be happy to help whenever you need a break. Okay, now I’m gonna get sappy for a moment. As someone who’s been watching you since the literal beginning (I still remember watching the season 11 reviews back in 2019 while I was sitting in my car eating Jimmy Johns or something). Even though I didn’t really become an active part of the fandom until a year in, it has been very rewarding to see how much you’ve grown and this show has grown. I feel weird saying I’m proud of you because we don’t really know each other like that, but I AM proud to have been able to witness this journey. And while I understand the patron’s criticisms to some degree, I completely disagree that y’all aren’t ready for a podcast because you 1000% are

2025-02-14 19:58:48 +0000 UTCOk, I want to say this re: young people not knowing Golden Girls references. Here's the thing. I am not old enough to have been around for gay-adjacent shit from the 60s, 70s (or earlier), but that didn't stop me from learning about (for example) what Cher looked like in the 70s, Paul Lynde being on Hollywood Squares, or the film repertoires of Barbra Streisand or Judy Garland. Young people have the ability to learn things that happened in the past.

2025-02-14 19:52:56 +0000 UTCI started watching imho on the side with drag race but now I watch IMHO instead of drag race 😅
Jaeden Torres
2025-02-14 19:45:50 +0000 UTCI havent watched the video yet but as i look over these comments, i notice everyone expressing their love for yall and why they subscribed to the patreon. i subscribed because i have the biggest crush on alexis but now she has a boyfriend and I still pay her to date someone that isnt me even though it shoudlve been me. JK i kid, kinda. i truly have found community here and I loveeeee having you queens in my life. xoxo Zima Queen(the one that got away)
Zima Millan
2025-02-14 19:40:24 +0000 UTCOkay but if you're a child of drag race how are you taking in all the references and not picking any of that up? I cannot tell you how many things I've gotten in to or learned about just from watching Drag Race.
Molly
2025-02-14 19:37:29 +0000 UTCI want to echo a previous comment and even stick my neck out on your behalf: I *love* you both (and Chan!!), I started subbing around 2021 because a mutual friend often went to Alexis' bingo shows and mentioned her being a part of IMHO. You're both really down-to-earth, honest, and fun personalities. We're here because your personalities and your*selves* are on clear display and we're immediately drawn to that. When you're commenting on the drag shown on these shows you're always finding the right way to deliver your honest thoughts while always being thoughtful about the realistic circumstances behind the what the queens can even functionally *do* on the show. Other reviewers often fall into the trap of ..just being mean about it, but that's not you, that's not IMHO. You ultimately arrived at the point I'm trying to make here, but you're a *very* small operation. You're trying to keep up with a multiple franchises that are relentless about churning out content, and yes, your fans want you to cover it all -- but putting together your looks, setting aside the time to film, getting in drag, filming, structuring your thoughts so you're recapping the entire episode, commenting on any looks, editing, including clips of the looks, getting it out in a timely fashion, doing the public versions with no patreon only sections, multiplied by each episode you're covering... it's a tough ask for just one person to do for as long as you both have been doing it. And!! You’re doing PR, finances, networking, stuff that entire productions have staff for all on your own! So to that end, I give you ALOT of credit keeping up this far, and whenever you need to delay, or sandwich episodes, or even just say "Hey, we're not having fun with Global All-Stars, let's stop", I understand because I know you're trying your best. (An aside, but Patreon, not you guys, makes it really hard to rewatch a complete old seasons worth of patreon-episodes so I've made my own playlists, let me know if you want those!)

2025-02-14 19:33:45 +0000 UTCbeen a messy queen for so so long i forgot that i never got my sticker and thank you note lmao i actually am looking forward to the patreon only compilations being a regular thing. i do appreciate everything you two and your team do for us, and it just always felt right to support y'all at the tier i signed up for; the extra banter on here+now the pod and early access and messy queen only moments are worth it, but i am looking forward to whatever else you two come up with for us! maybe y'all can like make food together on camera or something like that as a new in-drag extra? or post some performances y'all do at gigs!

2025-02-14 19:24:38 +0000 UTCLove you all! 💕 The conviction Alexis has in believing she said Dad, had me believing her! 😭But remember, Darby has autodidactic hearing. Always bet on Darby, 99% you will win!!!

2025-02-14 19:23:22 +0000 UTCAfter listening to the Patreon chat, I just wanted to say that I joined the Patreon mostly because I'm impatient and wanted videos a day early. Everything else (compilations, watch alongs, funny plane updates) has been icing on the cake
Emily
2025-02-14 19:21:26 +0000 UTCThat was such an honest patron chat at the beginning. I get so much enjoyment out of you two and even though this wasn’t the point, I just upgraded to messy queen because I do think it’s worth it!
Cole Swartz
2025-02-14 19:11:22 +0000 UTCOh I fully agreed with you about knowing golden girls and all that. Darby saying that “kids” have internet is even more reason they should know these old obscure references. I’ve never seen some of these shows or movies in full, but you can always find the highlights on YouTube or whatever. Don’t apologize for being right divas
Jolene Cuisine
2025-02-14 19:08:15 +0000 UTCPausing this at the beginning for the purpose of dropping you all a note: *completely* disagree with the idea that the Messy Queen level of Patreon support isn't worth it - it is, and we love you!
