Key Discussion Points & Timestamps

1. Bringing Back Shame & Generational Observations

Humorous rants about modern dating standards, performing elementary school recitals, shots as an “aging sport,” and children misbehaving in the 90s.

The confusion and anxieties of being “middle-aged,” stuck between youth and old age, and the Golden Girls as comfort.

4. Medicine Ads, Parenthood & Kids in Public

[17:00 – 22:15]

Deconstructing the wild settings in American pharmaceutical ads, especially their racial stereotypes.
Flying with children: Kid Fury calls it the “biggest birth control,” sharing a touching story about a little girl on a flight and at a birthday party, emphasizing the sweetness and innocence of kids—regardless of race.
- “Protect these black babies. All of the babies. Protect them. My God.” — Kid Fury [19:54]

5. Caribbean Identity: The WhatsApp Stronghold and Family Tech

[22:15 – 26:36]

Monét and Kid Fury discuss their Caribbean roots (Jamaica and St. Lucia), the complicated relationship with their home countries’ attitudes toward queerphobia, and recent progress.
- “St. Lucia just decriminalized that [sodomy law] a month ago… There’s still ways to go. But progress is progress.” — Monét [23:53]

Kid Fury marvels at Monét’s seamless transition into hosting various shows, prompting Monét to share her journey overcoming a childhood stammer and embracing her voice.

[32:33 – 40:25]

Kid Fury and Monét dive deep into the evolution (and consequences) of Drag Race’s viral success, especially the rise of an unfiltered, sometimes toxic online fandom.
- “For whatever reason, I feel like when it’s gay shit or this type of gay shit, those spectators have no boundaries.” — Kid Fury [33:29]
Monét reflects on her path into drag, initially rooted in personal exploration rather than fame, and how the massive spotlight brings overwhelming feedback.
- “You teach your fans how to treat you… If you say something about me, I’m gonna tell you that your mother’s a bitch and your grandmother should have died.” — Monét [38:24]
The resilience required to ignore negativity and the reality that online hate is only a small, noisy slice (“Twitter is not the world”).

8. Drag Race Behind the Scenes & Fan Suggestions

[40:25 – 45:50]

Banter about “inside” Drag Race moments—Jinkx Monsoon’s “annoying” ukulele antics, and the enduring camaraderie and quirks of former contestants.
- “I remember one morning she’d reach over for that ukulele and Raja was like, ‘Jinx, not today. Not today, Jinx.’” — Monét [42:09]
Debating ways to keep Drag Race fresh: fans want all-sewing challenges and more niche seasons. Monét questions the show’s reluctance to take fan feedback seriously, especially regarding the potential for a “Caribbean Drag Race.”

9. Caribbean Diversity and Media Stereotypes

[45:51 – 47:12]

Both hosts share memories of growing up around Caribbean-Asian communities and how multicultural realities challenge media stereotypes.

10. Social Media Overload & TikTok’s Black Algorithm

[47:13 – 51:15]

Discussion about wrestling with TikTok’s addictive nature, how the platform learns their identities, and using apps to find community (and Caribbean food joints) after moving to LA.
- “When I first used it… I was like, it’s gonna be one more 20 year old white bitch on here trying to sell me skims before I cut somebody that I know out. It knows that I’m black now.” — Kid Fury [50:12]

11. Caribbean Food in L.A. & Cultural Appreciation

[51:16 – 52:16]

Monét recounts the struggle to find good Jamaican food in L.A., eventually discovering TEVs via TikTok—emphasizing how food ties them to home and identity.

12. Final Trending Thought: Who Needs to Come Out After 50?

[52:24 – 53:48]

Kid Fury asks Monét what global trend they’d create:
- “Not coming out after 50 years old. People come out after 50 — we don’t need it. Especially when they are wealthy… keep it to yourself. No one needs to hear it.” — Monét [52:40]
Both riff, with special shade for public figures who waited until later in life for performative reasons.

Kid Fury (0:00)

So listen, I'm about to be 39 years old. I'm just going to say this to you with my whole entire face. I'm bringing shame back. I'm bringing it back. I think we need to bring back shame. Please just give me a break. I'm legitimately doing the best I can out here, but, oh my God, everything is shaming now. And some of y' all need shame, to be honest with you. Some of you guys need boundaries. Some of you guys need a reminder to do better. Now, this isn't, you know, I'm not going for your body. I'm not going for, you know, your brain too much. If it's a clinical thing, there's a lot of y' all out here making excuses. Shame. What's wrong with that? Shame is just a natural fucking emotion. And it's telling you to evaluate. It's telling you to self analyze. It's telling you to think a bit. And that's the problem with a lot of bitches. Now you're doing all that TikTok scrolling and you need to get back to you bitch. Stop having everybody in their goddamn ca and their, you know, pet guinea pig tell you how to live your life. Bitch, get into some shame. I'm bringing it back. I don't care. I'm going to try to be fair, moral, and learn it, but I'm also going to offend some of y' all bitches. And that, you know, it just is what it is. I tell jokes for a living. That said, I'm Kid Fury. Welcome back to Furious Thoughts. The other day I was thinking to myself, the pledge of Allegiance at school was wild. Like every day we had to say the Pledge of Allegiance to just start the day off. Why? Why do I still know all of them damn words when I'm so oppressed and marginalized in this? Furthermore, why the did I need to pledge my goddamn allegiance to a fuck thing? I'm seven, but bombs blowing up in air and the. Wait, how's it going? Well, we're back. I don't even remember how the motherfucking things go. But I know you're supposed to promise things, and I know that I take all of it back. There it is. Woo. Speaking of school. Jesus. So listen, I cannot tell you how much I love the little kids, little elementary school children and kindergarten children in their little recitals. I love them coming up on here and singing Bruno Mars or whatever the fuck in their school auditorium. And you here at 7pm Just trying to get home so you could watch stars but instead, you are at the elementary school after hours watching your baby and all their classmates up there singing. Tamia. And I really, really love seeing that on the phone or on YouTube at my house. I'm never coming. I never want to be there. I don't have enough maturity in me. I don't think I ever will to handle that live and in person. I don't know if I'm. I'm probably going to be judging some of your children. Um, God forbid they have to do, like, a two step or a little dance, because, my God, I'm gonna be looking at the counts. I'm gonna be judging the choreography. Furthermore, if your baby can't sing, just let them wave a flag or something like that. You know, I'm just coming at it with a lot of different perspectives that are probably unnecessary in the space. Furthermore, I'm also judging you. I'm also judging you parents. I'm judging you who ain't paying attention enough, and I'm judging y' all who are paying too much goddamn attention. You are not mean girls. You are not Amy Poehler. Sit your. You even get that camcorder from probably ebay. Everybody just chill out and have a good time, you know, with Ms. Rachel and friends. I really, really think it's cute. It's very, very innocent. It's lovely. It is at a time when these children know nothing but making slime or labo boos or fruit juice and peace and happiness and friendship. It's. It is very, very sweet. Off key, horribly boring. But when I can, like, get a clip of it on, like, a real or a YouTube short. Lovely. God bless you and them babies. I hate bitches who say, I'm not dating until this. I'm not gonna have me a man till this. I'm not getting in a relationship until this. Okay, bitch, the street's not gonna miss you. Just go do what the fuck you want to. Like, what. What are you telling us this? Just don't date. Just don't date. Who are you trying to convince, Barb? Who are you trying to convince, Millicent? Who are you trying to convince, Joandria? I just made all of those names up. Who are you lying to? Like, why do you. First of all, I don't care. I don't care. Like, I don't. I don't care why you're choosing not to date so you don't really have to tell me about it, write about it. I mean, sure, if we're over at the crib and drag race just ended and we're, you know, having a parlay and you're like, hey, by the way, fuck these niggas. And here's why. Fine, I'm probably drunk at this point. I'll be receptive. But overall, oh, I'm not dating until these niggas that are dating, then just don't. Just don't. Because most of these hoes still gonna be outside and they're not gonna be thinking about you. Bitch. Keep your eye on the prize. I have this thought quite a bit. Whenever I hear you make me wanna by Usher. The Raymond. Imagine you were the one with Usher. You make me want to leave the one I'm with and start a new relationship with you. Like, imagine if you were the one on the other side of that. Like, what the fuck? What do you say? Fuck me for what? First of all, you gonna leave that bitch too. Cause you're that type of nigga. And you're that type of nigga because you would say it so boldly to a melody on a perfectly produced track. Trash. But the pieces that you probably have to pick up when you hear Usher singing. Ass. Just getting off the set of Moesha, talking about some. I'm gonna leave that bitch at home to come get with you. You have to have like a week long session with your homegirls and them maybe like a voodoo doll or Florida water. I don't really know how that works. What was I talking about? Growing up is accepting internally and externally silent out loud. Growing up is accepting that shots are not for you anymore. Oh God, just give me a plain old drink. Give me like a cocktail if you will. Maybe something on ice on the rocks, but I don't know what it is. Shots are violent shots. At this big age of mine, my body is done with that. That is a young ladies sport. That is for all of the children fresh off of, you know, Collins Avenue for spring break. You girls got it. God bless you and, and everything that you are capable of doing within those things. But you bitches who are up here at the end of 30 and up with me, please get these shots out of my face. What is wrong with you? How, how and why do we still have to do this? I thought that I, I paid my dues. Just give me a regular drink. Matter of fact, I shouldn't even be drinking period right now. Health shout out to all of the teachers, professors, educators who are out working in the 90s during the height of WWF now known as WWE. Why was I in like 5th and 6th grade with other children going suck It. Why. And why were we doing that at school in front of people? W. It was so violent. Everything was a middle finger. Everything was crotch related. And, like, as an adult, fierce. But why weren't more adults supervising us? I had an uncle who was a huge, huge wrestling fan, and he would just let me sit down there and watch the shit with him. This was back when the Rock had hair and we didn't know that everybody was super conservative and a problem. Oh, Lord God. Now Vince McMahon wife is like the Secretary of Education. Like, that don't even make sense. Do you feel like. Do you understand why. With that said, why I believe that this is either a simulation or God is just. This is his planet where he has fun, you know? I mean, like, you have a degree, but you also watch baddies. That's how I feel like God is dealing with us very much a baddie's audition or reunion. Because how the fuck is the wife, the wife of the founder of a World Wrestling League, secretizing anybody's education? Oh, my God, what was I talking about? Who gives a fuck? All you teachers back in the 90s who dealt with us and our antics surrounded them fucking wrestling people that you. You didn't know about or give a fuck about. My heart goes out to you. I humbly apologize. I don't remember taking part in it directly, but I was incredibly entertained by it. So, you know, I'm thinking of you. I'm thinking of you wherever you are held. Some of y' all probably still teach. What a spectrum, right? What a way. Write a book. I miss when white rappers were controversial. I do. I miss when there was basically Eminem, because that's all we could handle. And he was inarguably a talent. And also also didn't say N, baby, if. If Eminem, like, popped today. Slim Shady and also said nigga, he would still be an incredibly successful touring artist. If we felt like he could spell N when he came out, death lynching, he would have never cracked as. As badass of a. A lyricist as he is. It would have never happened. Now we have just opened the gates for any fucking Machine Gun the Third, and I just want them shut again. Girl, when Jack Harlow was a thing, I knew it was a rap. Because where the fuck did this Corey Matthews looking and his spectacles come out here rapping like he from Atlanta? And why are we letting him and sisters, why are y' all telling him he's cute? Sisters, why y' all telling me he's cute? I. I don't. I feel like this is part of the. The reason why the, the young people. Jen Alpha Gen Z, y' all not shaken by the word negative being said by non black people. And this is probably a separate thought. We'll just blend them together. I blame your parents. I blame whoever raised you. You know what I'm saying? I refuse to accept that the times are just different and we've grown to blankety blank blank blank. Because let me tell you something, white people been trying to say nigga for fun since way before my time. And I was very much drawing blood in the state of Miami Dade County. Yes, I said the state of Miami Dade county because we're not from Florida anyway. We used to beat people's ass. Built directly to ass for say nigga.

Kid Fury (11:57)

Because of history and education and reclamation. Now y' all like, well, why can't Mariah Lynn just say nigga? It's just a word. Listen, I. I will continue to say this. I paid my dues. I'm probably going in the ground any day now. This world is y' alls good luck. Let's talk about AI just very quickly. Shut up. Just real quick. I just want to make one point. Please stop telling me that AI is the future. Please stop telling me that AI is the future just because you just now heard of it, baby. I think the first time I heard of AI was when I played the original Super Mario Brothers. AI is the future. Duh, bitch. It's also the past. The point is, what are you using today's AI technology to use, I'll tell you, to make art of yourself with six packs. To make art of Nicki Minaj riding shotgun with J.D. vance. Dragon Ball Goku from Dragon Ball Z with a Nike tech suit on. Y' all wasting energy and time. But AI is the future, bitch. If this AI is the future, bury me today. I. I'm plucked. I'm so tired of it. Y' all ain't creative. Your ideas are bad. You're not using it for anything good. But AI is the future. I don't know what qualifies as middle age, but I know I'm there, right? Being middle aged blows. And I'm going to tell you why it's all confusion. Where am I? Let me be old or let me be young? I get those I'm young coloring books. Spice World, Lisa Frank and then Cussing Ready to Die by Notorious B. I'm describing mine, but yeah. And old, I think for me is probably just gonna be this but wrinkly. Or maybe not. Maybe I'll continue to have youthful skin. I just. This portion is. Is too much. I'm dealing with my younger self and all of the ramifications of that era. And I'm also, like, having this weird anxiety about the fact that I am aging and everybody's dying and everything's on fire. And also, I'm a golden girl, or I'll be a golden girl not long from now. That's actually probably the only thing about aging that brings me peace, is being able to, like, really, really connect with those ladies past just laughing at the fact that the show's funny. But right now, this, like, cream filling in the Oreo section. It's a mental. It's a mental trap. It's really fucked up and confusing, and I honestly just want somebody to massage my knees and just tell me everything's gonna be okay. That wasn't an invitation. It's just a statement that I'm making. Please don't be weird. Thanks. I need somebody as soon as possible to explain to me how they come up with the settings for these random ass medicine commercials. Y' all know what I'm talking about. I saw an ad for some Ozempic or one of her cousins, like, a couple of months ago, and it was this round black lady walking into the supermarket dancing like she was on a goddamn nutcracker, throwing lettuce and shit in her goddamn shopping cart. Because of course she's, you know, just getting veggies and produce and singing like she was in the color Purple musical Taraji. Why? Like, what? Why. Why can't they just be, like, at the house and kids come over and like, oh, I just made cookies or something? Well, I guess not cookies because, you know what I mean? Like, why is it like, oh, for this medication that can help you with your diarrhea or Crohn's disease or whatever. Let's have the mountain climbing. Let's have them go spelunking somewhere. Why can't they just go to the park? I feel like they be doing that on purpose to play people faces and see who's going to say something. Me, why did that fat black lady have to go to the grocery store for Ozempic? So, yeah, if someone can break that down to me, I would really love to know. It's very interesting. Parents. Specifically mothers, because fathers, y' all don't do this. Watching parents flying with their kids is the biggest birth control. I mean, directly from Christ. Listen, I'm not interested. I think I will be a fierce unctie, you know what I mean? Presents, candies Affirmation secrets, very much. Uncle, auntie mode. My own children, not interested. And even if I were, baby, I just got back into town a couple days ago, sitting on this non stop flight right next to this girl who like, she might have been four and her mother sitting on the other side. Girl was cute as a button. Didn't bother me at all. Her mother was sweating bullets the entire time as if she was anticipating this girl pulling out a butcher knife at some point and just cutting everybody up. The girl was just sitting there watching Zootopia to just chilling. I was like, y' all really don't like these niggas like you? You don't like. They give you anxiety. They bother you very much. You love them, but they also get on your nerves. You would have loved to be flying on that goddamn plane by yourself. But instead you could barely get any sleep because you were worried if she was kicking me. The lady literally at the end of the flight was like, I think he was just kicking this. This young man for the whole flight. I was like, if she was fierce, you might have an assassin on your hand, girl. Cause I ain't feel a fuck thing. Stressed. Hey, folks out there with ovaries, if you're on the fence, I dare you to take a flight to like Orlando or some shit, bitch. It'll wrap that shit up for you. Don't worry. A couple weeks ago, I was in the back of an Uber and we were at a light somewhere here in la, and I looked out the window and this man, who I'm assuming was the father of his little girl, they were standing at a light, getting ready to cross. And this little girl had on this cute backpack and this Demon Slayer T shirt. She had to be like five, six years old. I'm already a fan because little black girl love anime. Demon Slayer. Great choice. So I was already like, oh, look, how cute. For whatever godly reason, this girl turned, looked at me, saw my little black face in the back of this car and waved. Smiled and waved. I was already a fan, y'.

Kid Fury (19:15)

Why did I almost bust out crying in the back of this fucking vehicle? It was so sweet and so innocent. I almost got choked up. And I just said a quick prayer like, God, just give her everything. Give her everything she needs. Protect her, Jesus. She loves Demon Slayer. She clearly has taste. She's an intellectual, she's an artist. She's a creative. Protect this child. And she's joyous. She didn't have to acknowledge my ugly black ass, but she did anyway. And she validated It. She validated my black ass with a kind wave. Young lady, you will never see or hear this. Hopefully not, because it's very vulgar. But love goes out to you. You really made my heart grow. How many sizes? The Grinch. The Grinch. Big Heart. That part of the film. Protect these black babies. All of the babies. Protect them. My God. Give them a chocolate milk and all of the food. Make sure that they have places to live and food to eat and kindness. Is that so fucking hard? I don't even like these niggas. And I want them to be happy and successful and safe. The other day, girl, I was at a friend's party, baby turned one. And I'm in the kitchen getting shit faced. I'm talking about half a bottle of tequila. But I'm grown, from Miami and my family Jamaican. I held it. Well, this little girl came into the kitchen trying to make herself a plate of macaroni and cheese, you know what I'm saying? Some collard greens, some ribs, and some brisket they threw down. This little girl came in there, tiny as could be, could barely get up to the food and stuff. And without thinking twice, I turned to her and I said, oh, baby, let me help you. Made this child a plate. Made her a plate, gave it to her. Her little hands looked like she could barely hold it up because them ribs were crucial. So then you know what I did? I said, oh, baby, let me get you a bigger plate. I don't want you to drop this. And the gag is this little white girl, one of three white people at the function, the other two being her parents. I was just happy to see her fed and smiling. So what the fuck is wrong with y'? All? Questions that need answers. Protect the babies. They need like a. They need like the Jimmy Neutron movie. I don't know why I remember this, but I do remember in a juvenile neutron movie, the aliens came and took all the adults. And then all the kids was running around Earth just eating ice cream and farting and shit. And then eventually they're like, oh, I don't know how to work the dvr. Mama, please come home. I think that's what the kids need. They need, like, a week to just eat garbage and watch Ms. Rachel. Let's move on. Chaee, thank you so much for listening to these thoughts, Titties. Welcome back to Furious Thoughts, the podcast I'm very, very excited about. Our guest Today is about damn time. Okay, we have a legend. We have an all star. We have a Drag Race winner, a singer, a comedian, a podcast Extraordinaire. And a Caribbean queen. Or is why people say Caribbean when

Monet X Change (27:39)

You know, I think that comes from little, insecure, chubby, little fat Kevin who was waddling his way around school. And when I was a little kid, I had a really bad stammer. Like, I had like a really thick stammer. Like, literally, like. Like, I would do my words like that, and it was awful. So sometimes I would often feel like a prisoner in my own head. Cause I couldn't get, like, what I wanted to say out. And I wouldn't say it because I'm whole room was looking at me. Everyone was like, oh, God, here he go. Again. So I just would not. So my mom would make me read out loud to her several nights a week. And that for, like, years when I was a kid. And that, like, helped me. I don't know if that's how you're supposed to cure that, but it worked for me. You know, sometimes I still have moments, but for the most part, you know, it corrected itself. And then so when I, like, got free from that, like, I would. That's when was birthed. The era of. Kevin will not shut up. Like, every report card. Kevin, please get him to stop talking. Kevin won't stop talking. Please. Like, it was every single report card. And I think. And I think, oh, my God, you're, like, giving. This is like a. I'm having like an Oprah moment here. I was like. So I think because of that, I'm literally processing, working this out right now. I was like, I never want to be that again. I never want to be held back or think I'm held back by my own speech. So now when I get the chance to talk, I just love to talk. And I think that has manifested in, like, hosts and different things. And even when it's not offered to me, just creating my own, like, the exchange rate was something that was birthed on my own. I did one thing for build downtown. And then I literally was like. I went to the senior vice president of the network literally that day, and I was like, I wanna host a show here. She was like, who are you? I was like, my name's Monet. I guess I'm gonna think today. And I wanna host a show here. And she's like, all right, send me a proposal of what you thinking? And then I literally went home that night, worked out the entire show, me and my friend Jay. And then I emailed it to her, and she. And literally next to. She's like, let's Fucking do it. And I did that show for two and a half years and it was give me TRLT's. Ah, I love this so much. It was right downtown, so we had that window there. And oftentimes people would stop and they would like be knocking on the window and stuff. And we had a live studio audience. They had like jibs and cameras. I would like in charge of, like a crew of people. It was. It was the most fun I've ever had doing anything in my life. I want that back so bad. I love that.
