Hello everyone, my name is Jigsman Soon and welcome to a brand new episode of Hi Jigs with me,

Jigsman Soon. Today, my guest is Ross Matthews. Okay, so I was a little nervous going into this

episode conversation. What have you? It's my first time ever

interviewing a judge of drag race. How the times have turned to the tables. Anyway, so Ross and I

have a lovely conversation about his long and short career. We talk about what it means and

the kind of pressures he faces, being a drag race judge and being so openly queer on mainstream

television. And we have a little moment just to pay homage to a shared icon through Barrymore.

All of that and much, much more today on Hi Jigs. So buckle up, hunker down and sink your teeth

into some brand new. Hi Jigs.

You don't know this. I don't think, but I'm like a Jigs superfan. I didn't get to judge your

season. In fact, I didn't get to like, I met you, you know, but then I didn't get to like

participate with you on the show, you tell all sorts. And I had to like reign it in of what

a Jigs superfan I am. So I mean, when I got the email, well, you do this. We do high Jigs. It was

like as fast as my little fingers could type. Yes, yes, yes. I love you so much. And you know,

I just think the world of you. Oh, well, thank you. The feeling is mutual. You've been around
