I hope this goes on for years and years I can’t get enough of this series

I love how Maddy is able to set up a comforting environment that makes most guest reveal a side of themselves outside their persona and brand. It’s probably like sitting at your first therapy session and spilling your guts

[edelyncordero]

The moment Mo started caressing the picture of her first time in drag, I started crying ngl

[Rai_S]

The way Mo missed the 'rock the boat' joke, just after they'd been talking about Aaliyah.... 🤦🏽‍♀️😆

[MsCook]

I teach middle school, and sometimes it's hard to really explain to my kids why we need to sometimes adjust ourselves to the surroundings rather than expecting others to just deal with however we decide to be. It's not one or the other, it's murky, and hard to put into words.

Maddy is the perfect example of just dialing into different levels of herself depending on who she's interviewing. To see guests just visibly change body language and relax is so nice. And the perfect balance of shade and appreciation, not just to the guest, but herself. It's those deadpan divas you gotta watch out for 😄

Everyone remembers that kid that was friends with EVERY social group, and when you talked to them, you got why. Maddy is that kid. I'm reminded of so many of my students from over the years while binge-watching these videos. If they grew up and kept what Maddy shows in every interview, then my teacher heart will burst with pride.

Great work, Ms. Morphosis.

promotional code being just “straight” is crazy 😭😭

[zachjackson]

Once I was at an Ostbanhof party in LA with my bf and I kept seeing Mo Heart around all night but was too afraid to approach her and say hi. Then after the party closed at 4am everybody was spilling out into the street. My bf (a 6’1 Filipino bodybuilder) and I were both BOOKING IT to our Uber, running in platform heeled boots, and as we ran past her she yelled “Y’all better finish STRONG!!”

And I’m still riding that high

[doomcat]

"I don't understand the lingo, but my back hurts sometimes"🤣🤣

[EffortlesslyEffervescent]

Maddy: "I had just turned 6."
Me and Mo: the exact same reaction!

[pqlasmdhryeiw]

Mo Heart could do a drag church service and I would attend because I know that I would probably have a God Moment - all thanks to Mo's charisma and faith.

[dnagel]

My god, Mo Heart always gives me "the ohh ah ah sensation" every time I get the pleasure of seeing and hearing them speak.

[KowareyasuiOkami]

Mo brings out what others can’t… authenticity, openness, connection, humbleness, audacity, love. Mo will forever be one of my most favorite PEOPLE to ever grace the TV screen. Thank you Mo and what a fun interview you were able to hold Maddy Mo-rphosis 💜

[joshuaburbine]

Mo is making me emotional this episode. She is telling the story of millions of gay youth and speaking to our hearts. I have personally never had this experience. Once I came out and all my mother said was “I love you”. I am beyond grateful for her. My heart goes out to everyone with Mos similar story ♥️♥️♥️. Yall or loved, yall are valid and yall deserve to be here.

[Rai_S]

NO. EFFING. WAY.
Maddie, you are getting some of the girls that I thought would neverrrr come on. Fair play to you!

[Gabrielle-vzme]

I just could not adore Mo Heart any more than I already do. The laugh, the charm, the sincerity, the warmth, the absolute and fully egregious beauty of this complex and enigmatic creature! Way too much! The world has been blessed with Mo Heart, and we are all the mo’ betta for it!

Great interview, Maddy! Your look is top notch, too. Very full of grace.

[ElyHochfelder]

i met mo at drag con nyc 2018 when i was like barely 14 years old. i will never forget how truly kind, down to earth, and welcoming she was to me even as some random kid in $8 blue cover girl x katy perry liquid listick

[wlbj]

I don't know this may be a hot take but, I just can't shake the thought that Mo has been touched by some kind of divine force that has resulted in such a beautiful magnificent example of human creativity and positive light. From their voice to their talents, they absolutely radiate positivity. And no amount of praise can account for my appreciation of the personal struggle they must have experienced only to reward us humble viewers. May we all give appreciation and thanks for the entertainment they bestow upon us.

[XTaitoX]

I hope Mo can continue to process their life and unpack all of this religious trauma.

[aaronboisvert]

I think Mo is one of the most charismatic people in the business today. They could read the phone book and it would win a Grammy for Best Audiobook Recording.

[gayman]

Mo discussing gender truly slayed me tbh
