Hello everyone, I'm Jinx Monsoon and welcome to a brand new episode of Hi Jinx with me, Jinx Monsoon.

Today, my guest is Matt Bernstein. You might know Matt from their social media presence,

from their influencer status, or from their very accessible, very informative graphics

and content that they create and circulate on the internet. Matt is really someone I admire a lot,

and I've been wanting to have a conversation with Matt since the moment I discovered him.

So today, we finally get to do that. We talk about all kinds of stuff, and I really don't even need

to preface it with anything because it's a lot of wonderful conversation topics and a lot of really

deep, deep observations. What am I trying to say? Oh, you'll find out soon on this new episode of Hi

Jinx. So buckle up, hunker down, and sink your teeth into some brand new Hi Jinx!

Hello everyone, I'm Jinx Monsoon, and welcome to Hi Jinx, a podcast where I, an internationally

tolerated drag superstar, get to interview compelling and fascinating people about how they became

who they are and why they do what they do. Today, we are joined by makeup artist,

internet personality, activist, advocate, and host of the a bit fruity podcast, Matt Bernstein.

Hi Matt. Hi Jinx, I wanted to say that for a very long time. Now, I waited until we were recording

so that everyone can hear the answer to this. Is it Bernstein, Bernstein?

It is Bernstein. Yeah, Bernstein, okay. It's like, Bernstein Bears, like 20 years from now,

we're gonna all remember it differently. I have gotten that my whole life, and yeah, it's always been

wherever I go. It's always, oh, like the Bernstein Bears, and at this point, I'm just like, yes,

just like the Bears, except there's not a Bears. It's the way I said it, and yeah,

the way I said it, and not like that at all. Matt, okay. I have so many questions for you about

so many different things, but I want to start with, you are an influencer. That's um,

that is the word for the kind of activism, advocacy, work that you do through social media outlets.
