Eye 2 I Arron Michael Holman

On this week's episode, I welcome 19 year old Irish Internet Sensation, Connie Whelan. She discusses how Drag Race Lip-Syncs led to recognition for her and is now inspiring her to push it further. Connie dishes about the creation of her new YouTube channel and her love for Trixie Mattel. Connie is willing to do anything for a good laugh and because of her popular videos that have expanded to included Real Housewives and even X Factor recreations, she's gone from 600 followers to 16k since the start of lockdown. Hear about her other inspirations like Gemma Collins, Tiffany Haddish, and the Irish drag queen, Victoria Secret. In the second of half of the show, Connie and I play a game called "What's That Mean?" together.
