Ugh I’m the biggest Alaska fan ! Monet is the best kinda podcast host cause not only is she chatty she really shows her love and interest in the guests .

Clint R.

(22:37) Mariah, Nicki, and Rihanna?! What is going on with Monet's memory 😄 Mariah has had the female artist with the most #1s for decades. Rihanna has 14 and Nicki has 3.

Toro Luna

I can't wait to leave work to listen to this interviewwwww!

Omar Berrones

Just two brides to be having a chat 💍

Chris

when Alaska started singing club classics but Christmas classics I 😂😂😂

Alexandra

Monet deleteeee this pro AI talk 😫😫😫 “we’re gonna be dead by the time it matters” WHAT

Brodie B

25:30 Is this ragebaiting or genuinely just monet being clueless

Dev Louis

😭😭😭oh naur Monét, you may have fumbled this interview a bit. I mean the convos were great as always but, jeez, so many things were a little bit off for facts. I’m sorry my dear, but you are in the bottom for this week’s challenge 😔

Juan Miguel Pascual

Wow the AI talk really just made me switch off an interview i was extremely excited to watch. Was really enjoying Monet and Alaska chatting but im not sitting through all the AI nonsense

CYREEL

I need to get botox after listening to this AI discussion cuz my browline has been stuck on "what the entire fuck" for 10 minutes. Amanda Seales gon roast you if she hears this.

IJS

I don't get why people think this interview was pro AI? Alaska says she doesn't use it and it's bad for the environment. And Monet is more questioning where the line is and the inevitability of it all.

James

Monet I’m so disappointed! All the things you mentioned that AI could replace - background extras, cgi editors, drag queen designers - these are jobs taken from real humans! I think it’s easy for you to excuse it, as you have a secured career and public image, but a lot of us are fighting to keep our jobs! The music, images, writing that ai generates is all stolen from real artists without their consent. The debate shouldn’t be how AI public figures could be more ‘genuine’ - it’s whether they deserve to exist at all.

Nala+Gabe

Monet be so disconnected sometimes I swear

Dashiki Linzy

Down under I believe is the first of not only time queens have been on the panel with ru. It may have been with Michelle, and raven may have been behind the U.S. panel once before. Can’t be sure, so don’t quote me lol

Chloe Christodoulou

CGI - computer generated images, are still created by very talented people, just using a computer. AI - artificial intelligence, is fed stollen work to fabricate something that's an amalgamation of those skilled and talented people's work without employing any of them

Dion Johnson

I need Monet to slow her brain down a little. She goes so fast she will change thoughts mid sentence several many times before asking a question. Like someone is skipping ahead.

Mario

Girl CGI requires artists using software. AI is not CGI. Them Google Gemini AI ad money must’ve gotten to her head 🥴

Genosai

Monet you need a fact checker.

I've been really conflicted since listening to this. it has been really important to me for the past several years since I have been able to to get as much money to queer performers in whatever way that I can, and I love being a patron of several different performers and also you know, seeing the shows in my town and region I'm tipping the girls down when possible. that is why it is very frustrating to see the mainstream entertainment class of drag queens say things that are so out of touch with what queer people are actually experiencing on a day-to-day basis. Because of the wealth that these performers have been able to accumulate, mostly because of regular queer people by the way, it's just really disappointing because drag performers in real life are losing performance spaces, opportunities to get paid good money, and even the ru girls and other TV drag queens seem like they are being watched less and less, and the drag queen podcast industrial complexes can only survive for so long in a culture that is hostile towards queer people. so I mean this with so much love and respect when I tell you that you're confusion of AI and CGI being the same thing is legitimately one of the stupidest things that I've ever heard another human person say, and it is as jarring and shocking and ignorant as other drag queens talking about how the Earth is flat or how the covid vaccine doesn't work, or Elliot with two t's claiming that she can call people racist things and still not be racist. it's legitimately a very concerning thing, because it shows a real lack of understanding as to the severity of the situation for queer people in the real world, but also shows a complete lack of awareness of how much danger you are in, even as performers in the mainstream entertainment industry right now. in a culture that does not value black people, in a culture that does not value queer people, or anybody with diverse gender expression or identity, why on Earth would you try and promote a technology that will absolutely be used to take away the wealth and success that you have been able to get over the last 10 years. if professional representation is signing AI actors, what is stopping those Managers from signing AI drag queens who don't have opinions or who don't have voices or any bodily autonomy whatsoever, and then all of you are left in the dust. all of the money that your patrons have given you over the last several years is a huge revolution in terms of how queer people are able to support performers that mean a lot to them. You have targets on your backs from these AI companies - because they see the wealth and success you and Bob and the other TV queens have and they do not believe that you deserve it, because they do not believe in the value of performance or in the value of art, they only believe in the value of money, and whether you support it or not, it will be coming for your gig. in the sad truth of it is it is very likely that we are incredibly close to a world in which white men like the WOW fags could own the image and voice and performance of black performers and black people even more than they think they currently do! they can take your music and jokes and looks and voice and will own your labor and use it in whatever way they want without paying you. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that a huge motivation for the AI industry is that they literally want slaves. they want people to be able to work for them without being paid, they want entertainers to work for them without being paid. and there will be a day where there is an AI drag queen and they will promote it as this huge technological innovation, but it will be a white man piloting a black gay person's body in whatever form they choose to generate it, and raking in all of that money. so I just really really really pray that the entertainment class drag queens who are becoming famous and rich in ways that other queer people will never be really understand what is at risk here, and what is going to be happening to us very very soon.

Philip

Monet, you need to do better research to inform your opnions. The portion of this episode where you share your unresearched opinions on AI and back it up with completely false examples should make you feel embarrassed. I was so excited to see you and Alaska interact and chat but wow I cannot make it through the part on AI and it made me completely lose interest in anything that might come after, so I went to the comments to make sure I wasn’t just being overly sensitive. Thankfully, plenty of other people have also called you out on this. I believe in your creativity, artistry, and humanity enough that I am optimistic you will pull your head out of your ass and change your stance on AI.

ddavus

it sounds like you dont know why ai is bad, because comparing ai to cgi is wilddd, one takes from artists and is actively destroying cities at an alarming rate, while the other is software for artist to use as a medium and actually put work into

Chloe

it’s literally so sexy of alaska to not use chatgpt

Jill K

Super disappointed in the lack of knowledge of the harms of AI, especially after hearing Monet running an ad on a different podcast promoting Google Gemini.

Sean

NICKI competing with Mariah and Rihanna for #1 hits? girl........ open the SCHOOLS!

Lashaaawn

MONET. AI = NOT CGI …. You need a FACT checker. Someone else said this and I agree.

Andeedee

Love and gratitude to you beautiful queens from an old witch - remember that in the dark times, the light doesn't disappear, it just rejuvenates for it's coming rebirth. You hold that light up for others to see and for that I thank you. Holiday blessings to you all 💚

Ax Rose

I bet Bob didn’t want to post that fight cause he lost!

Adonis

The thing about the Drag Race judging panel is that it's an advertising spot. As soon as one of y'all have Fox or MTV kinda money, they'll let you sit back there lol.

AnnieWunzgess

I can’t imagine how anyone has negative comments to leave about either of you. You’re both so beautiful, in and out of drag. And you both have such wonderful personalities and you’re both so funny and talented. Fuck those haters.
