Lol, Maddy basically was like, “I may not agree with this particular theory, but sketchy shit does go down in the world. So I’ma let you keep preaching mama!” 🤣😂
@@Nehu_22 it's because when maddy threw shade at kerri, she didn't get it and roll with it LOL so maddy kinda lost her ammo in this interview which is fun to watch lol
Maddy, wtf. How have you made quite possibly the greatest queer investigative interview show ever? This is fucking incredible. Sometimes it's eating ass. Sometimes it's the authenticity.
Maddy is by far the best interviewer to come out of Drag Race. This entire interview had such a different tone than most others and she was still able to conduct a very professional and respectable interview.
Completely agree. So much professionalism. Maddy was excellent at holding the space for her guest. A lot of quiet listening this episode but it felt right considering the gravitas at times.
@@Tintintintin666THAT! As a straight cis white woman, it really bothers me when other straight people act that way when they interview people from the queer community. I had to stop watching “Whatcha Packin’” bc even Michelle was getting that way and it was driving me crazy. I love Maddy’s interview style and the fact that she treats her guests as real people instead of “performers”. I listen to these interviews like podcasts and put them on for my toddler as I drive him to school in the morning. 💕
Maddy, this was one of the most important interviews you've done. Huge respect and gratitude to Kerri for her self-reflection, honesty and willingness to be vulnerable. Thank you for being such a gracious host to be able to give her the safe space to do that. Whether gay, trans, or straight, so many people have been repressed and made to be ashamed of who and how they are. Society still refuses to accept anyone who doesn't fit the controlling narrative. Kerri's story expresses well the angst of living a lie and the imperative of finding and living our own truth. The bottom line is that we have to be true to ourselves to be happy and healthy. "Maybe there isn't something wrong with me." ~ Kerri Colby
As a guy in his mid 30s who grew up as a jehovas witness - I sobbed watching this. Didn’t expect to resonate with so many things and how much trauma there’s still to unpack. Thank you Kerri for sharing your story and Maddy for hosting, even tho yall made my cry today❤️
Woman in my 30s who grew up Southern Baptist and this hit home for me as well. 💕💕 I love that Kerri, Kennedy Davenport, and others are using their Drag Race platform to share their religious experiences.
It's so incredible that we, as humans, can help others heal and accept our experience simply by sharing those experiences. I'm so happy to be sad after watching this. So glad we are all here releasing things together, even in this sorta strange proxy-at-a-distance kind of way it brings to mind the beautiful words of our dear SOPHIE: "it's okay to cry". Miss you, love you always SOPHIE.
@xaviSF I don't think so baby . More Trans girls made the finale (3) but there was more Trans girls in s14. Kornbread , Willow , Jasmine , Kerri , Bosco
Kerri is just so generous in offering her story here, particularly her account of grief at the death of her brother, and how that facilitated a change for her. Thank you so much Ms. Morphosis, holding space for these girls xx
kerri's question of "can you see yourself as an old man" is so good. as a trans man i had to face the fact that part of my depression was that i couldn't imagine myself as an old woman, or even an adult woman when i was a child. it made me feel so uncomfortable, and it really is such an important question to explore. i'm not perfect now, still struggling, who isn't, but now that i'm 7 yrs into hormones, the ability to envision myself as an old man and see that future when i look in the mirror is so liberating and comforting. the thought of growing old truly gives me a reason to keep going now, instead of being something i wanted to avoid at all costs.
@@richardchen7062 honestly? i cant WAIT to be a weird cantankerous little old gay man out there scarin the kids (but not like. too much. just enough that they dont fuck w me and i am amused)
I’m also in rural TN. I’m openly not straight. I ordered a ton of pride pins, for pride month this year. I was able to put them up at a local vape shop. They were free. They went FAST. We are everywhere!
This is seriously one of the deepest, and most intimate interviews Maddy has done, and I glad that there is this archival of Kerri's thoughts that might help someone else figure things out.
This truly deserves an Emmy. Kerri is incredible. The hollow earth part does sound wild but she's just saying you can't believe these people and she's 100% right.
Kerri has healed part of me in this interview. So many gems in her words and the light she puts into them. I feel more like energetically spiritual from this than any church service I’ve ever attended
The way i’ve been here crying because those breadcrumbs are a little too real, also with being kicked out at 15. So much of Kerri’s story is a 1:1 on mine. Especially her earlier hints through life of being trans. It’s all hitting me now like… am I trans? I’m going through it emotionally rn, I don’t feel like I can talk to my friends about it. So I just dropped it here
As a parent, Kerri's story completely breaks my heart. Kerri, I'm sending you and your inner child a big loving mom hug. You have value and deserve love always. ❤ Good on you, also, for setting boundaries with your family.
I was all for everything until then and I'm just here wondering when the hell this went so far off the rails. What a ride Also edit to say: I love Kerri and do understand where she's coming from with not trusting anything you're told, especially by people in power. It's just funny
I think y'all are missing the point in what she's saying the whole hollow earth but is just an example that Maddy brought up. She's only saying that we can't trust the information that the government provides to us. Or we education that we received. And what we know is fact we can't just prove fact we have to always be willing to question what we know in order to expand our understanding. So if someone were to say I flew over Antarctica and I saw a giant hole that went down into nowhere and all information that you are aware of and that you've been told says that that's not true. Are you willing to accept that you were wrong and that there's more that you don't understand. Once again, this is just one example of these types of things. There are other things that are considered to be conspiracy but there is science behind the conspiracies that says that they may be true and we should at least do more research. Crop circles is a big one if y'all are interested check the Why Files he's a pretty good RU-vidr that looks into these types of things. Some of the videos are about hoaxes and he will pull you in until the end but some of them aren't and the science just isn't clear. I suggest the one about crop circles and the one about the moon he also has a video about the hollow earth theory that Kerri is referring to and it breaks down all the facts that she can't remember. She only sounds looney because she doesn't have all the info to provide but have an open mind and get the info and then you make your own decision
Yet another dignified and humane portrait presented to us . This one was heavy and hard not to cry to, please never stop , these conversations will never be had enough with the current state of society.
Interesting theory of mine is that believing in this quantum state of the world. So the world being hollow or not hollow or at the same time, but its none of her business or when she spoke about her dress being pink not blue and how all of this relates to her being trans. Imagine how a transperson tries to understand its own feelings. Being born and perceived one way but at the same time feeling that you are someone complety different. What is the actual truth ? How things look on the surface or through some other way or is there no actual truth
I mean my sentiment isn't anything new or different from what everyone else is feeling but I gotta say that Madeline is hands down the best interviewer on any podcast/show online or TV etc. She really allows the guests speak their Full train of thought without interrupting them. She does her homework beforehand and gathers all necessary info to build up this interview in a natural way from the beginning to end. Talks about all types of themes from very serious to funny ones and always remains respectful and open and adds a touch of her humor which gives us these AMAZING interactions. Great job Maddy!!😘
This interview has really made me appreciate and understand Kerri more tbh. Like I still glaze over the whole "hollow earth" part but I now understand her mindset and why she has those beliefs. I'm a pagan who doesn't fully trust any government so I also have beliefs that others may not share and it's fine when we don't BUT you do also have to be extra careful when navigating these communities with more fringe beliefs as it can be used to shift you down a harmful pipeline. It can happen in a wide range of communities that aren't harmful to begin with so you really have to be mindful and aware to avoid it. On a separate note, Kerri is such an incredibly strong person to have survived so much and built the life she deserves. It's already so incredibly hard to live as an openly trans person, which is even worse in these times, but then to also be so open on a huge public platform is crazy levels of strength. Then the bullshit with her family is a whole other level of strength and perseverance that is incredibly inspiring. I'm so happy and proud for her to not take any shit from them just because "tHeY'rE fAMiLy". There's some things you cannot forgive or forget and blood really doesn't make someone family.
About the hollow earth theory, it can also be a reminder to find some interest in real science and get informed, following real scientists on social media, instead just fashion, models and pop culture. Those who keep up with scientific papers that are published and its informations open to all public, do not make such non scientific based statements. We can all love and look cute in fashion, but we can also be smart. Both can go hand in hand.
The hollow earth thing is because she’s coming from a religious family that certainly denies science. She seems to rely on faith rather than rational, scientific reasoning. I mean, you don’t have to take pictures of every spot of the Earth when magma and volcanoes, tectonic plates shifting are proof enough of geological activity. But she hasn’t been taught that during her childhood, so that’s why she don’t know. I don’t blame her but I hope some girl from a gay science podcast calls her for their hollow earth debunking episode or something.
I mean being pagan is just as silly as being a Pentecostal in the sense that neither is an accurate worldview and it’s purely a matter of buying into a religion that preaches a bunch of nonsense. But unless your paganism has you believing in a flat earth or becoming an anti-vaxxer or some other harmful or easily debunkable conspiracy, I’m not going to judge you
Unfortunately hollow and flat earth theories are often associated with Nazism and white supremacy. i know that’s not the kind of person kerri colby is but i think it’s important to point out the dangers in these thought systems
I so love her stance on not accepting these breadcrumbs from her father, as if him calling her 'daughter' would change everything. She's impressively mature and has done a great job learning to love herself after everything she's been through.
This could've easily been an hour of laughs and bits and kiki and haha and that could've been great but there's something truly special when that is thrown over the window and instead there's a very thoughtful, deep and emotional conversation. I am not trans nor i want to transition but the thing that i hate the most is myself and many of her words touched me and opened the door to do some reflection on the why and how to move on. I love all your interviews and Maddy you're a great interviewer with both handling funny and real serious topics
This has been the most special emotive experience, I can't begin to describe how brave it was for Kerri to open so much and share all of that pain and knowledge and drive. I've missed therapy for the last few months and this felt like hearing things I needed to hear and not knowing what they were until Kerri put them out there. Thank you both. Maddy just keeps rocking this show
I love how Kerri is so grounded in people not only having different perspectives, but also encourages it. I can see why so many of the s14 queens gravitated toward her. 💜
This may be one of the best, emotional interviews ive ever seen and the fact that Maddy listens instead of speaking over like so many other interviewers makes her a truly special host
When she spoke about her traumatic relationship with her parents, that hit really hard. I could listen to her speak all day, she’s so charismatic and intelligent, especially for someone who’s still very young.
I absolutely love how Maddy completely bounces to different topics one after another 😂👏 It keeps the interview so interesting to listen to! Looking forward to binging the rest in the series!
Thank you for giving us such a detailed look at Kerri. She was so honest and open and I love that she moves forward spreading as much love and care as she can. Seeing her live she radiated kindness and it makes sense
I love this interview. And you are a good host who lets ppl finish their paragraphs, very rare in my podcast show viewing experience. And then you pepper in just enough comedic relief to keep things rolling. And huge thanks to kerri for sharing her story with us.
@@lasloapollo4312 Y’all are missing the part where she LITERALLY SAYS that the Earth in this reality isn’t hollow but there could be another timeline, another dimension, another reality where it is hollow. We would all be better off keeping an open mind about ALL things in this life. What we are able to perceive is not the full expansiveness of our current reality. Mindfulness toward each other’s experience 👁️
OMG as a person who grew up super fundamentalist as was kicked out of the house at 16, I am amazed at how much Kerri’s story resonated with me. From being closed off from the world growing up to the survivors guilt of “how did I survive drugs, sex work and partying when others didn’t?”. Fabulous interview. Thank you Kerri for being so open and honest. I hope your family gathering went okay. ❤️
This interview is so so so important. I feel it right now as I’m watching. So many people from so many backgrounds can take bits and pieces of Kerri’s story and overlap it to their own. What a testament to how strong she is and how golden her soul is.
Kerri is an incredibly insightful and strong woman. Religious trauma is far more intense and painful/tragic than most people will ever realize or acknowledge
Such a raw, authentic interview. Showing so many sides to Kerri Colby. The proud transwoman, the glamazon beauty, the hollow earther, the casual misognist ('basic biological female' anyone?) The traumatised child, the wise elder. So many facets. Bravo Kerri for showing herself so unapologetically, bravo Maddy for holding space for her to do so.
This is the least funny episode yet, and that is why it’s so impactful. Because it is the most truthful and heartfelt. Thank you for sharing this with us, Kerri and Maddy. ❤
Wow... So.. I am not a trans individual. However.. Who I am is a woman and who I WAS was a little girl who grew up in a household where there was very little love and I did not feel like I was able to express myself or be my true self with my mother or my father... But my father especially. Kerri's explanation of her hesitancy to begin this journey with her father at this stage in life hit me.. So hard that it brought tears to my eyes. My father also has come to me now as a grown woman wanting this relationship with me after my mother passed away. And I have felt SO just guilty that I haven't genuinely WANTED to start that relationship with him. To the point where I often consider breaking my own peace to give him what he wants. And Kerri's words just touched me so much and made me realize that I don't have to heal from what my Father imposed on me in his time frame. I am just blown away at how much I resonated with that statement. But what I do need to do is be honest and let him know that. I've been so scared. ❤
This literally made me cry, as a trans guy who has had issues with his family, i can relate to a lot she talked about but also im so thankful i will always have the unconditional love of my siblings, as some people are not so lucky
Wow. What a powerful, informative, deep & emotional interview. This has nothing to do with her physical appearance but I think she’s absolutely the most beautiful person I’ve ever heard speak ❤preciosa ❤
Kerri Colby's interview was really eye-opening, concerning her perspective of the earth, the toxicity of West Hollywood lifestyle and her transitioning to be who she is today... I really related to the 'question everything'. Being raised in a very controlled environment can be very tough, I related to that bit Thank you for sharing this. And hearing about her dad is so sad
Kerri is such a delight and Maddy is an amazing interviewer, but I think neither of them were expecting this interview to get that heavy, deep and meaningful. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I low key wanted that her family sees this and start to understand better, rethink, apologize and seriously mend things.
Kerri is spitting straight facts all over this interview. She's definitely super intelligent and spiritual and super articulate. And GORGEOUS. What a doll. And yes, question EVERYTHING. Gooped Maddy at the padge. 😭💗✨
Wow. Maddy gives GREAT interviews. The only queen who makes serious content in a sense where heavy topics are often talked about in an open safe environment. It’s fun to Keke and hear jokes but Maddy reminds us that these are PEOPLE not just your entertainment and I LIVE. Kerri is a beautiful person. So articulate, wise, an extraterrestrial for sure ❤️
I grew up in a Pentecostal family too. And what Kerri said about questioning everything is completely true. I don't believe anything anyone tells me until I've experienced it myself and put together my own thoughts on it.
That's not how real science works. Over centuries many scientists make theories which then are being tested over a long period of time with experiments and calculations executed by many scientists. If proven correct this data will become a part of the empirical evidence we collect since centuries, which new studies and theories will be based on going forward. If every human would disregard every scientific discovery made by others in human history, we would never advance as a society. Real science/scientific papers is/are accessable for everyone online. It's especially easy to get science updates by following real scientists on x/twitter.
I literally cried, her stories about her brothers and family broke my heart. As someone whose best friends are my family. The hurt and trauma in her life drove me to tears. I love Kerri for being so open and vulnerable about this. Thanks Maddy for all the laughs, tears and all. Such a great show!
This was so beautiful and perfectly executed. If there's any awards we can nominate Maddy for its gotta, specifically be won for this episode with Kerri!!! I genuinely felt like I was watching the epilogue of an Oscar winning movie. Just such a beautiful and raw interview that I sincerely was not expecting.
Kerri is such a special queen to me. I usually gravitate towards comedy queens but Kerri is so open, honest, grateful; overall so real with how she has grown and changed. I am always blown away when I hear her speak XD🩷 just so smart and kind!
I am so happy for this interview!!!! Kerri deserves the the galaxy and she has is such a strong person to not only survive, but now thrive. Hearing her tell her story is something that would leave anyone in tears, but I'm so happy she was willing to share it, be vulnerable, be open about it, and look at things from a brighter side. Thank you Maddy for these amazing interviews. Letting queens tell their story while you show off your almost stalker level amount of research. In another life you were a P.I.
Another great interview Maddy . I wish more people would leave space for their guests to talk as you do. Kerri thankyou for sharing your story with us, you have a beautiful soul xxx
Kerri's stance is so interesting. While Im not coming to the same conclusion, the simple premise of everything you see can be altered, be augemented and we are being fed a very cultural specific take on the world is 100% on point.
Not miss Madeline of the house 'Morphosis' doing the Oprah treatment and giving miss Kerri the therapy session and pep talk she needs before seeing the fam. Not that!
Kerri is such a bright, kind soul, and I'm glad to know more of her story. I really loved this interview. It had its funny and goofy moments, but also went a lot deeper than I thought it would go.
I got lost half way through when she started talking about hollow Earth and satellite data being altered. Elon traversing the world with a live camera can still be altered, and Elon is definitely not the person to trust with that task. His track record of trust is more hollow than the Earth.
You should probably watch the whole interview and not get caught up on what was obviously a lighthearted jokey scenario. I highly doubt Kerri thinks anything about Elon is good. The rest of the interview was incredible.
This was so genuine and beautiful and special to watch. It's fascinating to me that Maddy is the queen pulling out this type of content from the drag race franchise and getting so many of the queens to feel this comfortable enough to share such intimate parts of their stories. Really wonderful work 💝
This has to be the best interview that he has made. What a great human being to open up so easily and no worried about begin judge. What a great human be Carrie. I admire you so much more now that I get to hear more of your story.. You are amazing.!!!
Heard it all up till last minute, and Kerri is such a wonderful sweetheart. Seeing her cry, omg, I just felt this pain. Being in a bad contact with the family, and having all these experiences is just pure drama... But she is just amazing! So much respect for her.
This interview is next level. SO good. Kerri is so adept at putting her feelings and experiences into words. Maddy is an expert interviewer. She asks questions that facilitate further conversations and she follows through with relevant follow ups. She also gives her guests the space to speak and she never interrupts. A real pro.
Kerri being like "So wtf you think Im talking about with those tech millionaires? I wanna know what they saw with their money, what they found out" and starting to talk about quantum energy harvesting had me shook. Modern day Marilyn Monroe moment.
Thank you Kerri for sharing your story, the level of awareness and the ability to communicate difficult emotions is so endearing and valuable. On top of being GORGEOUS! I hope you feel connected and loved everyday for the rest of your life ❤
kerri kolby, preach! i agree, QUESTION EVERYTHING! i love how eloquently and confidently you expressed yourself, i aspire to communicate as well as you do!
I've always been as awe and amazed with kerri and after this video makes me love her more. She really built herself up as someone who's really really strong and dependent. Really really great interview! Thank you, Maddy!
I love how the character on Drag Race and Kerri are so different. It was an amazing conversation with a twist. Even Maddy didn't know what was going on at some moments.
This is the best episode, y'all. Kerri gets it. The dolls fucking know. I've never heard anybody describe transfeminine sexuality so exactly. And OMG! "Do you see yourself being an old man?" I LITERALLY fucking say that. She is such a success story. Love love love Kerri 🦋💕
