Jinkx Monsoon never phones it in. In this episode, the 'End of the Rainbow' star puts her friendships to the test with a string of prank calls, convincing Michelle Visage she dropped a 1,000-pound crystal, warning Monét X Change that her psychic predicts betrayal, pretending she’s stuck at a tap studio waiting for Lisa Ann Walter, and asking Jesse Tyler Ferguson to cover her onstage for 'Oh Mary.' She may have feared what the calls would reveal, but they only prove her friends are the coolest.

00:00Please take me out of this ditch, Jesse, please.
00:03Oh, my god, honey.
00:04Hello, I'm Jinx Monsoon, and this is Phoning It In with Elle.
00:10I never phone it in.
00:11I'm always in the pocket, baby, present.
00:17All right, I'm going to call Michelle Visage
00:20and tell her that I have dropped a 1,000-pound crystal
00:25through my floor.
00:32Hi.
00:33Um.
00:34You OK?
00:35I, like, did something stupid.
00:39OK.
00:39I bought myself 1,000-pound crystal, right?
00:43It's like 1,000-pound crystal.
00:45They delivered it.
00:46Why was it 1,000 pounds?
00:47Why?
00:48Because it's supposed to.
00:49You mean, like, sterling pounds or it weighs 1,000 pounds?
00:52It weighs 1,000 pounds.
00:54What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:56OK, go ahead.
00:56I just basically immediately knocked it over.
01:00I was messing around with the cats, and it just, like,
01:02and the floor is fucked.
01:05OK, hardwood floors are all fixable.
01:08It, like, went through the floor.
01:10It's, like, poking.
01:11I can't tell until the next person, like, until the person below me comes home to see if
01:16it's, like, poking into their ceiling.
01:19Like, it could.
01:20Is it going through?
01:20I don't know.
01:22It's, like, I can't, I can't even lift it because I'm not strong enough to lift 1,000-pound
01:28crystal that I shouldn't have bought in the first place.
01:31OK, we don't regret you bought it because there was a need to have it.
01:36It's OK.
01:37Don't know how you're going to move it, but we'll deal with that on another day.
01:39Mm-hmm.
01:40But what we're going to deal with right now is everything that you've done can be fixed.
01:45You're human, and mistakes happen.
01:47Michelle, I love you so much because this is a prank phone call, and I love you so much.
01:51Say hi to Elle.
01:54You're such a dick.
01:57I have now video evidence of what a good mom you are to me.
02:02Like, that was kind of incredible.
02:05And I can't wait to get back at you.
02:06Oh, God.
02:07Oh, God.
02:08Oh, God.
02:09OK.
02:10You talk about moving the 1,000-pound crystal some other time.
02:13Yeah.
02:14Have a good time at the theater.
02:16Go fuck yourself.
02:18This is too good.
02:20OK, I think I can pull this off.
02:21I'm going to call Lisa Ann Walter.
02:23And I'm going to tell her that I'm waiting at the dance studio for her for our tap lessons.
02:35Hello, Mama.
02:37Hello, Mama.
02:38I'm at...
02:39What are you doing?
02:40What do you mean, what am I doing?
02:42I'm at the tap studio.
02:43I'm at the dance studio.
02:46Are you...
02:46You're cute.
02:47Are you on your way?
02:49No.
02:50Wait a minute.
02:51Are you talking to Lisa Ann Walter or a different Lisa that you like?
02:53Lisa Ann.
02:54I know who I called.
02:57Didn't my people set up with your people to do that cross promo where we tap dance together?
03:03Isn't that why I'm at the studio right now?
03:07Nobody has reached me about anything.
03:11I have no idea about this.
03:13It's a whole Dancing with the Stars crossover thing.
03:17Oh, my God.
03:17Because you're such a big fan.
03:19How has no one reached you?
03:20They've told me the whole time, like, Lisa can't wait.
03:23Who is lying to you?
03:25This is insanity.
03:26Mama.
03:27It's the same...
03:28It's the first I'm hearing.
03:28I'm in the chair at the studio.
03:31We're working.
03:31In L.A.?
03:32Yeah.
03:33Yeah, I'm in L.A. too.
03:34I flew in for this.
03:36Okay, this is crazy.
03:37I gotta call my people.
03:39No, no, no.
03:39It's okay.
03:40It's okay.
03:40Because this is a prank phone call.
03:42Um, Lisa, I'm so sorry to get you.
03:44I'm so sorry to get you in the chair.
03:46I love you so much.
03:47I promise I'll never do...
03:49I'll never abuse your phone number again.
03:52It's hilarious.
03:53Okay, I love you.
03:54Bye.
03:55Have a great day shooting.
03:56I love you so much.
03:57Okay, tap dancer.
04:00Next.
04:01These are all so good.
04:03I'm gonna call my very good friend, Monet X Change,
04:06and tell her that my psychic told me someone will betray me.
04:10She's gonna believe this in a heartbeat.
04:16Hi, James.
04:18Hi, Monet.
04:20Why are you so exasperated?
04:22It'll be brief, but do you have time for a semi-serious talk?
04:25Yeah, for sure.
04:26What's going on?
04:27I know this is gonna sound crazy, so please hear me out.
04:32Yeah.
04:32So I saw my psychic.
04:35Uh-huh.
04:35And I've seen her many times, and I really trust her, right?
04:39Uh-huh.
04:39And she told me someone close to me is going to betray me.
04:44Oh, God.
04:45I know this sounds crazy, but, like, every card she pulled points to you.
04:52What?
04:52I know.
04:54We have such a good friendship, and I don't wanna, like, think you'd even be capable of that.
04:59But it's, like, the cards, the crystals, the runestones, they all just kept coming up, like, with descriptions that fit
05:08you.
05:08No, girl, you know me. I don't have any hate in my heart for you. Not even a little bit.
05:13Cuz, like, sometimes we don't even think we're going to hurt someone when we're planning something.
05:19No. There's nothing like that.
05:21You promise.
05:23I swear.
05:24This is a prank phone call. I love you so much.
05:28What the fuck do you think you are? Oh, my God.
05:33That's like the runestones. That's not what a damn runestone is.
05:38Okay. I love you so much.
05:40I love you, John.
05:42Bye.
05:43Okay.
05:44I'm gonna try one more.
05:45I'm gonna call Jesse Tyler Ferguson and tell him I have to cancel the rest of my O'Mary performances.
05:56Um, hello?
05:58Um, hello.
06:02What? Why did you answer like that?
06:06I was just so excited to see that you were calling me. I was like, this must be a mistake.
06:11I have over screamed in O'Mary.
06:16Yes, you have. Okay.
06:17I am, like, getting ready to tell the producers that I don't think I can keep going on.
06:24Oh, no.
06:25I wanna offer them, like, a celebrity name to jump in. Is this anything you would consider?
06:33I would, but I just, I can't. I'm in rehearsals for a play right now.
06:38But, like, it's like a once in a lifetime offer.
06:42Please take me out of this ditch, Jesse, please.
06:45Oh, my God, honey.
06:46You can do it, baby.
06:48I have to offer them a redhead.
06:50You can tell them that you would call me.
06:52Should I call Kathy Griffin?
06:53Do you have Kathy's number?
06:55No, she cannot.
06:55I do have her number, and she is not going to be anywhere near that.
06:57She would love it.
06:59It was nothing for nothing more.
07:00You're right, you're right.
07:01Do you need a doctor?
07:03No, I'm completely fine.
07:05I'm prank phone calling you.
07:10You were so genuine.
07:12You're such a dad.
07:13I feel so terrible for you.
07:14I'm such a good actress.
07:16Okay.
07:17You really are.
07:18Are you literally doing it right now?
07:19Yeah, I'm on a camera doing it, yeah.
07:22That is so funny.
07:22I'm just like Billie Eilish.
07:24I'm pranking you, and I'm making the video for Elle.
07:29I love you.
07:30I'll talk to you later.
07:30I love you. Bye.
07:31Bye.
07:32One of the best people on the earth, am I right?
07:35Like, really trying to help me figure out the problem.
07:38I was afraid of what this might reveal about my friendships with these people.
07:44And instead, what it revealed is that my friends are the coolest.
07:49Thank you so much for watching Phoning It In with me and Elle Magazine.
07:56And if you want to see me on stage in London, check out End of the Rainbow.

08:19Bye.
