Okay. Wait, why are, why are red States? Why are Republicans obsessed with Oak? Like what's with Oak?
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Yeah. It's strange. It's very strange. She's from Brooklyn. Hey, Ashley from Brooklyn. We went to middle school together. How are you doing, girl? I hope everything is well. But it's a strain. Like, why do you spell names like that? I hate it. It's annoying.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Babe, for Christmas, you know what I want? I want a voodoo doll of the entire cabinet. And throw in Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mason there, too.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I mean, those hexes are clearly working. Have you seen how bloated Trump looks recently?
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Yeah, to me, I just, it just seems like this attack on drag is like, it's the calls coming from inside the house. Like these fuckers, they want to do drag. They are doing drag, right? I feel like it's just like obsession with, I think it's an obsession with how free and liberated drag queens feel, like how we live their lives. That's what I'm saying.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I agree a million percent with that assessment of the situation.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I really do. I think that there is something about seeing how free and open or how not when we don't want to be that we allow ourselves to be that way. And they are so stuck in whatever situation that their families or whatever they've chosen to be in that they will never, ever know that. And it pisses them off to no end. And they are jealous. They're angry.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
That is very straight people stuff. The gays would never. The gays, they want to be fashionably laid. They last minute, they're stopping to get a bottle of Voo before they get to the party. They're coming at like 7.15, 7.20 for sure. Especially in LA. Oh my God. Everyone complains about the traffic. Baby, you knew the traffic was bad. You chose to be 20 minutes late and I appreciate you for it.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
They're pissed that we get to have it and they don't. And that's the number one. That's the thing that they hate. They like to keep things from themselves and not let anyone else have it. So I think that's what really gets their go.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I think they're so jealous, too. And something I'm jealous of is how beautiful y'all's skin.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
OK, can y'all send me the number? I'm here for two days. I will go. I'm making appointments tomorrow.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I'm not watching on camera. I'm like in person. I'm like, oh my God.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Kylie doesn't filter the opposite way so people can be shocked with IRL.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
That's money well spent for sure. You see, that's what I like about the gays though. The gays, we keep it real. We're honest. We're like, girl, okay.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I've had it with big dogs on an airplane. When I spent my well-earned money on a little first-class seat, because I'm allergic to dogs and cats. And, well, dogs that have fur. If it's like a schnauzer or a poodle that have real hair, I'm fine with it, but it wouldn't have fur. And, girl, one day I check into this, and I'm like, you know what?
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I had to sing the next day, I think, at Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. I was doing a big concert, and I was like, I'm trying to do all my things. I'm wearing my mask, doing all my... I get to my seat, and when I tell you a dog the size of a Great Dane...
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
This is crazy. If it's a dog that fits under the seat normally, I'm fine with it. But when it's a human-sized dog, like a chow-chow sitting next to me in first class, I've had it with that. I can't deal with it. It's too much for my dog allergies.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Prom send off, meaning like when like all the families get together to watch the kids go off to the prom.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Girl, the prom send-off, it's like the pre-prom social hour before the prom. So all the families get together in the neighborhood because typically all the kids in the neighborhood go to similar schools. And they all get together and they have like cars, like BMWs, Rolls Royces, all the cars that the kids are going to take the, go to the prom in. And they get together, take all these pictures.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Sometimes they get really extravagant. I'm like, girl, it's not a wedding. It's a prom. Like, calm down. That's a little much. Like the gowns are crazy. They have like a very Cinderella, like a big pink carpet is rolled out. I think that's a little much. But the send off, it's like this cultural thing where the parents, after, you know, I'm sure raising kids is not easy.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I agree. And then also at the gym, they'll be like, hey, Monet. Oh my God, I'm a big fan. I'm like, hi, nice to meet you. And they're like, can we take a picture? I'm like, no, no, I'm like sweaty. I don't want to take a picture. And then they go, no, I don't mind taking a picture.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
So you have done the hard time of 18 years. This kid is finally going to a ball. It's kind of like a little send off. Like after 12 grades of hard work, come in this beautiful outfit, take beautiful pictures, and we're going to send you off to the prom and have a good night.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
It's really sweet. Because, you know, grandparents come. Did you go to prom? I did not go to prom. You didn't? I didn't. I went to a performing arts school, which was inherently a very queer experience. I was still a little gay in the closet. You know what I mean? So no one asked me to go. And there was a boy I wanted to ask, but I was afraid to ask him.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
So me and my friends fucked off and went to the movies or something. And I didn't go to the prom that year. Yeah. And you know what? I don't regret it.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
it's not about you i'm mine i don't want to be sweaty hugging someone at the gym taking a selfie together like no like just say hi and next time when i'm dry we can take a picture not when i'm sopping wet like like i'm flushed like no the gym is not a good time to chat or to take a selfie never
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
So I went to school in New York, and they were taking us on a field trip to see the fucking capital in Albany. Why the fuck are we going to see the governor's house in Albany? Anyway, it was an overnight trip.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
So we're on this bus, and I had my girlfriend at the time, my first girlfriend ever, and we're sitting on the bus side by side, and that's the point, everyone is experimenting, doing things, and I was like, oh God, I knew it was coming. So we're sitting on the bus next to each other, and her hand is on my thigh, and I'm on her thigh, and she's like, do you wanna touch my boob?
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
And I was like, no, I'm okay. And she's like, are you sure? And I'm like, yeah, I'm sure. And she's like, why? And I was like, I looked at her, I was like, God wouldn't like that.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I was like, God wouldn't like that. And she's like, you're right, you're right. And then like, I came out to her the next day.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Yeah, yeah. I was like, but so thank God she asked me to touch her boo-boo. I would have been in the closet long enough. But she kept my secret until college. And then I officially came out sophomore year of college.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
You know, it was good. It was honestly, I kept the secret for so long. And after After I said it, I was like, oh my God, it cost me nothing to say this. It was this thing I was built, because my family has always been so sweet, so supportive. They watch Drag Race more than me. They have their own group chats about the show all the time.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
But I was so afraid to tell them for whatever things in my, because of all the warped and fucked up stories I've heard about friends. Losing families, they don't talk to their dad anymore, their mom anymore, whatever. I mean, my dad calls me Monet and he calls me girl. You know what I mean? So my family is so cool.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
But, yeah, I was so afraid of what I might lose that I robbed my family of so many experiences they could have had with me, you know, in high school and in the beginning of my college years because I was just so afraid to come out. And after I did it, oh, my God, I became my own town crier. I was running around the whole town like, the British are coming, the British are coming.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Like, I was letting everyone know. It was amazing. I had, like, a little press conference with my family at Christmas that year. I was like, hey, everyone, thank you for joining us for Christmas dinner. I want to confirm a few things you may have seen on Facebook that I sucked at grandma. Like, it wasn't very that. Like, then they were like, okay, cool. We love you.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
They... I think, I don't know if surprise is the word. They were like, I think they were surprised that I came out when I did. I think they thought that I was, I think they knew, but they thought that I was so afraid that I was gonna keep it a secret longer. My mom was like, I just wish you would have told us earlier.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
So I'll say, I did not play my mom's clothes, like her heels or little dresses. What I would do is, because I lived in, I was born in Brooklyn, but I'm at one year old. Do you say one years old or one year old?
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
At one year old, my family moved me to St. Lucia and I lived in the Caribbean.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
So when we wash our clothes, we didn't have a washing dryer. We had a washer where we drew dryer clothes like on a clothesline outside. So what I would do is I would go in the backyard and steal all the clothespins and put them on my fingers and make nails. And I was in my room casting spells, girl.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I was like, I was Sabrina the Teenage Witch in my little room and I was like pointing to shit, trying to make magic.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
My clothespin nails. Yes. I would tell you, Andy, I want those voodoo dolls for Christmas. I want every single last one of them. I love that idea.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I think it was a little before hormones. I think I was around, like, nine years old. Okay. I remember having a crush on a boy in fourth grade. And I was like, oh, my God, he's cute. But I didn't know what that was yet. Right. And I was like, why do I think he's cute? And then, like, it started to inform itself a little more in, like, fall.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
in fifth grade and i i started thinking more boys were cute and i was like oh okay and then i mean by seventh grade i was already like making out with boys and kissing boys it was like it was like a whole thing but like it was like four five sixth grade that's when i was like i was i was discovering like okay i'm a little different but i think again all of the straight girls in my life they were my ride or dies like when boys would like make funny and pick pick like you
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
bully me in middle school. Oh, my God. My straight girlfriends, Reiko, Kamika, and April, they used to have my back. They used to beat boys up for me.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Oh, my God. Every time RFK is in front of a camera, it pisses me off. I have had it with him talking. Like, how are we listening to this person talk to us about anything? He sounds like he should be being taken care of. He sounds like, how are you giving us health advice when you need health yourself, sir?
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
It sounds so, and looks so oxymoronic to get health advice from this fucking person who is sick and infirmed himself.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Yeah, it boggles my mind. It boggles my mind that RFK is allowed to – he's part of what? HASA?
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
The pronouns that they use every day. Right. The fucking pronouns they use every day.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Well, what it is, we have completely lost the ability to critically think. It's just like people are just not thinking. You guys are the same person. People just are not critically thinking. Just think critically. It's an exercise you learn, what, in elementary school? You learn it throughout your entire career.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Yeah, it's silly. I agree with that, though. Yeah, it is a way to subjugate people, like to take away the ability to think critically and to think for themselves and to think about what is going to be best for –
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
It's also this thing of everyone is just only now concerned about themselves and them getting the best out of life and not concerned about community and how everyone doing better makes you do better in the long run. It's not just about you. Because if you're up here and we're all down here, then where is that? Where does that leave you? It just doesn't make sense.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Well, also in church, they teach you money is the root of all evil. Okay, so let's go with that. If money is the root of all evil, what does that say about your millionaire pastor?
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Have you seen that pastor, Marvin Sapp, telling the ushers to lock the doors of the church? Have you seen this? No. Girl, it was a service happening in whatever city. And then it's the end of the service where it's the offering time. People bring the tithes and offerings to the thing. And then I guess there were 2,000 people in the congregation, also about 2,000 people watching via stream.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
He goes, I need 20 people to give $2,000. We need to make four... 20 people to... No, I need 4,000 people to give $20 each. Because we needed whatever that 20 times, I think it's $200,000 or maybe $400,000. They needed to make that much money. So he said, so people started to leave. He said, uh-uh, lock the doors. He goes, lock the doors. He said, why aren't I listening? I said, lock the doors.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Yes. Digital small talk is so annoying, especially like in the DMs when it's someone you've never met before. So you're trying to give like you said, like a fine line, like this conversation has ended. So we're going to be like, okay, I said something cool. You said something cool. We're fine. We're fine.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
It's all over the internet. It's crazy. Because he wanted to make that $400,000 that night or whatever, $40,000, sorry, I think. And it was insane that he was telling the ushers to lock. And they did lock the doors. And now it's a whole thing. And now he's making a song. about the scandal that he's putting out on iTunes.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
And then it continues on and lingers on and you feel the pressure to continue the conversation and it's awkward and it's weird. And it's some celebrity that I'm a big fan of, but now it's awkward and you're asking me these weird questions and then I feel the need, like I need to be cool the whole time and like give a cool answer. And I hate the digital small talk. It's annoying.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Had it. Can I tell you something? I get accosted by pictures of newborn babies. And I'm not saying, like, you know, like a toddler or one or two. I'm talking about, like, freshly delivered babies, okay? They're still wrinkly. They look sticky. They're still covered in chlorophyll or whatever is on the baby. I don't know what's on the baby. I'm like, like, a newborn baby has to settle.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Like, give it, like, a week or two so it can settle into what it's going to be. Because, I mean, you literally just gave birth to Lord Voldemort. Like, give it a second to, like, to settle, like Botox.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Oh, my God. Oh, I've had it with unprecedented. Please give me some precedented times. I am praying for times that are precedented. Every day you wake up on TikTok or whatever, and it's just a new unprecedented thing. I've had it. I know. It's too much. It's too stressful.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Oh, man. Hit it. I love Luigi. Luigi's a patriot saint. Luigi, I'm going to send money and put him on his books or whatever you do to people in prison. I'm hitting Luigi. I'm here for Luigi Mangione. Also, isn't it not just a gross thing of the law? They have people who have done way worse than him and they get out in whatever years.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
And this person kills one rich guy and now he's facing the death penalty. It just seems egregious.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Oh, my God. I've had it. But also low-key like Work Girl. I feel like she might be a secret sister. And after him and Donald Trump are gone, we're going to hear, he's going to come out as part of the queer community.

The first one was so... Watching the documentary about it was so insane. I loved the documentary. The guy that was going to suck dick for a bottle of water or a case of water or whatever.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
And let me tell you something. I know my eyeliner. He's using the MAC Kohl liner in the color Feline. I promise you. Look it up, y'all. It smudges beautifully. It's effortless. That is exactly the color he's using.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I just have to say thank you, ladies, A, for having me on, but B, for just being these beacons of light, letting these fuckers have it on the internet. Y'all don't take shit. Y'all don't take any shit. Y'all don't mind literally eviscerating these fucking assholes on the internet.
I've Had It

No, I was going to say I'm booking a flight. Just let me know. Let's let me know.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
It's a tough one. Okay? Because I love our country because we can do this. Right.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
For now. We can do this. I love our country because as a descendant of American child slavery, my family has been here. We've helped build this country. So I love it for that. And I don't want a few – not a few – a lot of sour apples to ruin the entire bunch. You know what I mean? So – I'm going to say hit it because I also don't want to leave here. I want to fight for this place.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I want to fight for this place that I grew up in, my fam grew up in, that gives me the freedom and the love and everything that I want. So I'm going to say hit it. I'm going to keep on fighting. I'm going to fight, fight, fight, fight, fight.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Like, you know, we all have that drunk uncle at the family barbecue every year. And I'm not going to leave my family because he's making everyone uncomfortable. I'm going to tell him he has to leave. And I'm going to take the bear out of his hand and put him to bed.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
No, but I do have one family member who in 2016, because they are a cop, I think they voted for Donald Trump because this was when he disillusioned everyone about for cops and blah, blah, blah.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
And then so, but after that, they saw the light and they were like a few months into his presidency realized, oh, this guy is a horrible person, but there's no one else in my family that's mad at all.

Black maggots. Maggots. Like, you know, gone are the days, you know, the Colin Powells and, you know, those people you can stomach and tolerate.
I've Had It

But now a black maggots in the neighborhood? In the hood, yeah. That is upsetting.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
You know what I think we should do? I think we're going to gather all the white people in your neighborhood and we're going to have an adult prom send off on their lawn. It's going to be part of the culture.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
It's going to be the culture of the neighborhood. That's what we're going to do. That's how we're going to fix those black maggots.

I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
When you see two people who look good in a relationship together, you're like, God damn it. I'm like, I'm playing ping pong with myself. No, I'm kidding. No, but when you see two beautiful lesbians together, specifically, they're both fashionable. They're both gorgeous and fierce. I really would like, God gave me the short end of the stick. I should have been a lesbian.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Oh, my God. I think we're the same person. Me and my boyfriend, we've been together for three and a half years now, which is like 30 years for gay men. Yeah. And, like, he is very, like, he is the lesbian in our relationship. Like, he wants to be on top. Like, if we're on the couch together, I can sit on this side. You can be over there. And we can watch a whole movie together.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
And I feel like we have spent a great time together. He wants us to be on top of each other. Needy. Yeah, he is that. Which I love that sometimes. But most times I'm like, give me my space.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
I can't. For the life of me, I don't get it. I don't get these people who make $40,000 a year and you feel inclined to give $4,000 of that, 10% of your income, to these people who have private jets. have mansions, are living these lavish lives.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
That's so true. The gauche and gaudy gold everywhere. It's just so... It's awful. So now the next person that comes in has to destroy all of it and make it look chic and fashionable again.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Okay. A little one. I've had it with people who show up on time for a party. You would hate both of us. If I'm starting at 7, you have to come at 7.05 because I'm still doing last minute touches at 7. Yeah. And I'm still in my muumuu. So I need the last five minutes to run upstairs, do it all, and to do the big reveal and come out looking fresh.
I've Had It
Protect the Voodoo Dolls
Yeah, now is the time. Like, now is the time to step up and be like, you know what? For centuries, my people have been absolutely horrible. So now I'm going to step up and be the best straight white man I can to women, to gay folk, to trans people. Like, now is their time to step up.
