Bowen Yang
Hey, so what if you could boost the WI fi to one of your devices when you need it most?
- [00:09]
Matt Rogers
Because Xfinity WI fi can. And what if your WI fi could fix itself before there's even really a problem? Xfinity is so reliable. It does that too.
- [00:17]
Bowen Yang
What if your wifi had parental instincts? Xfinity WI fi is part nanny, part ninja, protecting your kids while they're online.
- [00:24]
Matt Rogers
And finally, what if your WI fi was, like, the stuff smartest?
- [00:28]
Bowen Yang
WI fi. Yeah, it's WI fi that is so smart, it makes everything work better together.
- [00:33]
Matt Rogers
Bottom line, Xfinity is smart and reliable. You deserve the peace of mind of having WI fi that's got your back.
- [00:39]
Bowen Yang
Xfinity. Imagine that.

Bowen Yang
This episode is brought to you by Skinny Pop. Snack time doesn't usually get scheduled. It sort of just appears mid conversation, mid episode, mid whatever is happening. That's where Skinny Pop comes in. Skinny Pop works because it keeps things simple, made from just three simple ingredients. And that simplicity really works for a snack that's meant to fit the moment, not take it over. Snack time shouldn't be complicated. Keep it light, airy, and endlessly delicious. With Skinny Pop, cup after cup of salty satisfaction. Deliciously popped, perfectly salted. Skinny Pop, popular for a reason.
- [01:47]
Matt Rogers
Look, man.
- [01:47]
Nancy Glass
Where?
- [01:48]
Bowen Yang
Oh, I see my eye. Oh, my. Oh, and look over there.
- [01:51]
Monét X Change
Wow.
- [01:51]
Matt Rogers
Is that the culture? Yes. Goodness.
- [01:53]
Bowen Yang
Wow. Las culturist. Ding dong. Lost.
- [01:58]
Matt Rogers
Cultureista's calling.
- [01:59]
Bowen Yang
We're already sort of in process on this episode. We just got right into it.
- [02:02]
Matt Rogers
I think it's. Cause it's. Well, by the time this comes out, it will be Pisces season the beginning, day one.
- [02:08]
Bowen Yang
Because who was ringing through the hallways as we were preparing was sza. And we were sort of connecting about really just how good SZA is. And I said, most memorable concert of my life. March 5, 2023, Pisces season, my birthday.
- [02:22]
Matt Rogers
She fell off that diving board.
- [02:25]
Monét X Change
Why?
- [02:25]
Matt Rogers
Why do we laugh?
- [02:26]
Monét X Change
Why?
- [02:26]
Bowen Yang
Why is there laughter?
- [02:27]
Matt Rogers
The concept of, like, falling off the diving board just made me tickle.
- [02:31]
Bowen Yang
So you think it's funny to think of someone falling off a diving board, which is actually really high up in the sky? Unbelievable.
- [02:39]
Matt Rogers
She fell. She was sitting like Princess Diana and then slipped off.
- [02:44]
Bowen Yang
Tragic ends. All tragic ends.
- [02:47]
Matt Rogers
I love that we're. We're back in, like, a classics space. I think our guest has always been in that space.
- [02:54]
Bowen Yang
Studied the classics.
- [02:55]
Matt Rogers
Studied the classics.
- [02:56]
Bowen Yang
Vocals. That is ppas. This is a moment. What is ppas?
- [03:01]
Matt Rogers
Professional Performing arts school. Oh. Which I want to really dig deep into. Like, what was the feeling knowing that the other school was right up the street? The other school.
- [03:14]
Monét X Change
The other school.
- [03:15]
Matt Rogers
You know what I mean? Yeah.
- [03:16]
Bowen Yang
The episodes title frontrunner is Professional performing arts episode.
- [03:22]
Matt Rogers
Yes. Okay.
- [03:24]
Bowen Yang
Because we're about to be schooled in many ways.
- [03:26]
Matt Rogers
Absolutely. Our guest is a legend. Winner of Rapul's Drag Race All Stars. Traitor, season four Participant.
- [03:33]
Bowen Yang
But the thing is, really, it wasn't anyone's fault. It was just that luck thing that happens in Traitors. I really wanted a world where our guest was at the end, and I felt it there for a second in the edit. I was like. I even said to people definitively, they're baking into the edit. Monet wins.
- [03:51]
Matt Rogers
Well, because.
- [03:51]
Monét X Change
Because.
- [03:51]
Matt Rogers
Because our guest was booked for this. For this show.
- [03:54]
Bowen Yang
Yes.
- [03:55]
Matt Rogers
Before the season started, and we were like, monet's coming. That means she does very well.
- [03:59]
Bowen Yang
That means she does well. We were, like, baked into that reality. Come to find out, she was a participant.
- [04:05]
Matt Rogers
But I would have loved this. A reality in which, at Bob's encouragement, she got rid of Dorinda first.
- [04:13]
Bowen Yang
I would have loved.
- [04:14]
Matt Rogers
That would have been amazing. And that would have saved us all this. Like this. Ron funches. Dorinda just sort of will they, won't they?
- [04:19]
Bowen Yang
Of the year?
- [04:20]
Matt Rogers
Well, yeah, yeah.
- [04:21]
Bowen Yang
Ron funches and Dorinda, but also the host of, I guess maybe the best podcast ever. Sibling rivalry and monetary.
- [04:29]
Matt Rogers
And on Gorgeous. I can't tell if that white couch is gorgeous or disgusting. Let's. Let's get into it.
- [04:36]
Monét X Change

You guess. I do. I do. I love a good intro.
- [04:58]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [04:58]
Monét X Change
And I work really hard at them because I think it's a great way to set the tone of the interview. I've done interviews where they. I could tell they had no idea who the fuck I was. And it was like, well, here we go.
- [05:07]
Matt Rogers
Well, here we go. Because they call you Monet or something.
- [05:10]
Monét X Change
Yeah, Monet. And then. But she was on.

Bowen Yang
This is actually a moment in history as well, because there's lore.
- [05:25]
Matt Rogers
There's lore.
- [05:26]
Bowen Yang
There's literally.
- [05:26]
Monét X Change
Oh, there is lore.

Bowen Yang
Is Andy Short, who we go so back with.
- [05:35]
Monét X Change
Yeah, y'. All. But Steve. But y' all know him in, like, a really over. Like, I can't even imagine the person that he was like back then. Like, he was. He did a lot of drugs, did a lot of drinking, was a mess. And he's just so different now.
- [05:47]
Matt Rogers
Drugs, drinking, straight. As an era.
- [05:49]
Monét X Change
The biggest smile. He was straight.
- [05:51]
Bowen Yang
He was so straight. He would walk around with an iguana on him.
- [05:54]
Monét X Change
That's crazy.
- [05:55]
Bowen Yang
Like, do you remember when he would just. He'll have to, like, say what type of lizard it truly.
- [06:02]
Matt Rogers
Dragon.
- [06:03]
Monét X Change
A bearded dragon.
- [06:05]
Bowen Yang
I'm the type of gay where I don't know the difference between the lizards. You know what I mean? Like, see, this was to illustrate how straight.
- [06:10]
Monét X Change
Oh, my God, your cat looks so weird. You should, like, wet it or something. I don't know.
- [06:14]
Bowen Yang
Your cat needs to be watered. Well, you need to water your cat.
- [06:18]
Monét X Change
Literally. I like this. Weird. Yeah. I mean, now he has a dog potato, which the jury's out on. A dog.
- [06:24]
Bowen Yang
A dog named Potato.
- [06:26]
Matt Rogers
Oh, I thought you said a doll potato.
- [06:28]
Bowen Yang
He's got a doll potato.
- [06:29]
Matt Rogers
He looks different.
- [06:30]
Bowen Yang
He waters that as well.
- [06:31]
Matt Rogers
Waters that as well. I feel comfortable sharing this about Andy, you know, because he feels comfortable sharing
- [06:35]
Monét X Change
this about Andy now he won't stop telling me it's his, like, claim to fame.
- [06:38]
Matt Rogers
It's his. No, his claim to fame is that you two are madly in love. But I was his first gay kiss.
- [06:43]
Monét X Change
His first gay kiss.
- [06:43]
Bowen Yang
First gay kiss was Bowen.
- [06:44]
Matt Rogers
Yeah. Was me, because I visited him. So he transferred to Emerson.
- [06:48]
Monét X Change
Y. Yes.
- [06:48]
Matt Rogers
He was at NYU because he was
- [06:50]
Monét X Change
kicked out of nyu.
- [06:51]
Bowen Yang
I don't know the details. Yeah, we actually know he was in our sketch comedy group. And then one day he just left. And we were like, what happened? And we just figured he needed a change.
- [06:59]
Monét X Change
Yeah, no, he was really up on the liquor. He was like, I need to change my life. God. Sober. And then. And then. But apparently because he was so bad that third semester NYU asked him to leave.
- [07:10]
Matt Rogers
Wow.
- [07:11]
Monét X Change
They're like, you have to go. Wow. Yeah. They're, like, no privilege here. You're gone.
- [07:15]
Matt Rogers
No.
- [07:16]
Bowen Yang
You're out of here.
- [07:18]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [07:19]
Matt Rogers
So then he. So then he goes to Emerson. He transfers to Emerson. Is like, a darling there because he's the funniest person. And then after we graduate 2012, I. The summer after we graduate undergrad, I go up to Boston. I was like, I'm gonna visit Andy. How's he doing? He's sober now. He's great. Like, I'm. You know, I love Barney, his late mother. And so I go up to Boston. I stay with him. We have, like, I would say a weekend that was, like a European short film. It was, like, so romantic.
- [07:50]
Bowen Yang
And then
- [07:53]
Matt Rogers
we went to Walden Pond.
- [07:55]
Monét X Change
Okay.
- [07:55]
Matt Rogers
And snuck around, like, a part of the pond where, like, no one's allowed. We, like, dove in and, like, swam a bit. And, like, in a pond. In a pond and, like, in a dirty.
- [08:07]
Bowen Yang
You're a talented, creative person. Create this.
- [08:10]
Matt Rogers
There was, like, a tense moment where we were just, like, waiting in the water, just kind of, like, looking at each other, like, what is this? And then we go home. We go back to his place. And then, like, I think. And then at some point, we just. We started making it.
- [08:22]
Bowen Yang
Kiss you gingerly.
- [08:22]
Monét X Change
He kissed me gingerly.
- [08:24]
Matt Rogers
He dropped me off. The train station was like, well, like, this. This would never happen. Like, this would never.
- [08:28]
Monét X Change
Whoa.
- [08:28]
Bowen Yang
I am so.
- [08:29]
Matt Rogers
I. I'm so glad our paths diverged because you two fell in love.
- [08:34]
Monét X Change
And then you got to get you a woman.
- [08:35]
Bowen Yang
And you got to get you a woman. Oh, my God.
- [08:38]
Monét X Change
Yeah, I got to get you a woman.
- [08:39]
Bowen Yang
Wait, I totally forgot about that.
- [08:40]
Monét X Change
Eight years ago. And within that's, like, in. In this, like, crazy, elaborate engagement, he, like, flew her family and his family in, like, this, like, crazy. The bachelor scavenger hunt in Central Park. So I was like, oh, if you're going to propose to me, baby, you got to up that ante. Really? Absolutely. I'm like, she not going to get the, like, the fierce fruit, I guess just on bended knee at a. At, like, a medieval time.
- [09:03]
Nancy Glass
Down.
- [09:04]
Bowen Yang
Down at the ranch. Scavenger hunt.
- [09:06]
Matt Rogers
Seems so hetero, though.
- [09:07]
Monét X Change
It is very hetero.
- [09:08]
Matt Rogers
So then what did he do? What did he do for you?
- [09:09]
Monét X Change
So on our very first date, we went out for ice cream for our first date.
- [09:13]
Bowen Yang
I like that.
- [09:14]
Monét X Change
People who do dinner for a first d. Are you crazy?
- [09:17]
Bowen Yang
Are you so bloated?
- [09:18]
Monét X Change
That is a. You're paying, like, 60, 80 bucks to talk to someone. Yeah, it goes on way too long. Like, an hour and A half. What if it's a bad date now? You just locked in for an hour and a half with this person that's like awful.
- [09:29]
Matt Rogers
And you have to get dessert.
- [09:30]
Monét X Change
And you have to get dessert. So we had ice cream at Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in la. And after that we like, we were going to go to Griffith Observatory to like, just check it out. But it was a Saturday, it was really busy. So we. He dropped me back off in my car, we showed a little kiss. And then later on that night, he's like, I'm gonna go to Hot Dog Sundae. So you wanna meet there? Met at Hot Dog Sunday. So for our four year anniversary, he was like, I wanna take you to Vandalu and Ice Cream again. I was like, okay, sure. Going to Vandalu and Ice Cream. Walk in, they're playing my song Love like this, like on the thing. And they named like a flavor after me. I was like, oh, my God, this is so sweet. So cute.
- [10:07]
Matt Rogers
Four year anniversary.

Four airport. That's very cute. And then after that, he was like, maybe let's go to Hot Dog Sunday. Now. Hot Dog Sunday, if y' all don't know, starts at 5:00pm yeah, at this point, it's 2:00pm I was like, well, why would we go there? Like, the bar's gonna be closed. Like, he's like, that's what. I don't wanna go there. He's like, well, let's just try. I was like, andy, that's stupid.
- [10:23]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [10:23]
Monét X Change
I was like, who wants to go, like, to a closed bar? That's. I'm not going there. He's like, I think we should try. I'm like, that is literally the dumbest idea anyone has ever said. I'm like, no, actually, take me home now. I'm mad. Take me home. He's like, angel, go. I was like, oh, fine, I'll do your stupid idea. Go to Hot Dog Sundae. Get there. Selena Estidiz is playing the door girl. And then she ushers me in. He's on stage and there's like a beautiful sunflower installation of like. Cause he bought me sunflowers on our first date. And he's on stage, he comes out in this black outfit and he sings this acoustic version of my song, Love like this. And as y' all know, Andy does not sing. He's been taking voice lessons for a year. Stop to learn how to sing for the proposal.
- [11:01]
Bowen Yang
Andy.
- [11:02]
Monét X Change
Sure, it's very romantic. Now, we didn't dive in a pond, but that would have been. That would have Been the ice on the cake. If we had a little dip in
- [11:10]
Matt Rogers
the pond, that's you guys. You guys have the rest of your lives to do that.
- [11:13]
Bowen Yang
I feel like, how could it be more romantic than any of that?
- [11:17]
Monét X Change
It was very sweet, but can I.
- [11:19]
Bowen Yang
There are good men.
- [11:20]
Monét X Change
There are good men. But can I tell you something? I feel like such an asshole.
- [11:23]
Matt Rogers
Why?
- [11:23]
Monét X Change
Safe propose. Gives me the ring. My God, this sounds so cunty.
- [11:27]
Matt Rogers
No, say what?
- [11:28]
Monét X Change
Gives me the ring. And then I look at the ring, I'm like, oh, this is beautiful. And then later that night, I was like. He was like, so how do you feel about the ring? I was like, I like it. But one little change. I wanted just an eternity set. Poppy diamond, 100%.
- [11:42]
Bowen Yang
Let me see it.
- [11:43]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [11:44]
Bowen Yang
Oh, it really is. This is after the.
- [11:46]
Monét X Change
No, after the no. And he had this, but there was like a big square cut diamond in the middle of it.
- [11:51]
Matt Rogers
Okay.
- [11:51]
Monét X Change
It was his mother's engagement. So I was like, I love this. I was like, let's take out the stone. I'll put it on something else.
- [12:00]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [12:00]
Monét X Change
Because I had to wear this for the rest of my life. You know what I mean? So I'm putting it in like a.
- [12:06]
Bowen Yang
So fucking tasteful. Gorgeous, elegant, like a little extra in the way that is you. Oh, my God. I'm so happy that you got, like, the proposal you deserve.
- [12:16]
Monét X Change
Yeah, it was.
- [12:17]
Bowen Yang
That is like, I could not think of someone. I was actually saying he back in the day was known as being so effortlessly funny. Like, in our sketch group, he was by far. People thought of him as one of the people that was. Could naturally sell anything in terms of comedy.
- [12:34]
Monét X Change
Well, y' all whole yalls whole class. Like, I mean, like, it's birth. Fucking legend.
- [12:40]
Matt Rogers
Something was crazy.
- [12:41]
Monét X Change
Like, it is like, so many talented people from this classic. And it is crazy.
- [12:45]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [12:45]
Bowen Yang
I also shout out Steph Shu, who is going to be in Rocky Horror. Did you see this?
- [12:50]
Monét X Change
Rocky and I'm abs. I cannot wait to see it. Oh, my God, it's delicious.
- [12:55]
Bowen Yang
Really a gag. And I can't believe Steph is in it. She's perfect for that, like, show.
- [12:59]
Monét X Change
It looks so good. I'm so. You know, I've only gotten. I've only gotten into theater as I left New York.
- [13:04]
Matt Rogers
Really?
- [13:05]
Monét X Change
Yeah. Born and raised a New Yorker, but living here, I never went to go see shows.
- [13:08]
Bowen Yang
I was like, is it because you couldn't afford it? Because that was it for me. Like, we did not go when we were here all the time. And mind you, we could have taken Advantage of, like, student accounts and stuff, but we just couldn't afford it. Like, that's why we never saw anything back in the day.
- [13:21]
Monét X Change
No. I was just ignorant.
- [13:23]
Bowen Yang
You had to cash on hand.
- [13:27]
Monét X Change
Yeah. I don't know. Late in life, I think, moving to la, I was like, I want to just experience more theater and. But, you know, sometimes, even though.
- [13:37]
Bowen Yang
Well, it's a really weak year right now, I know that's why all of a sudden it's like, well, I'm sure things are going to be great eventually, but the thing is, like, the reason why there's, like, a lot of things happening, there's a lot of space in theaters, so things are now starting to get thrown up.
- [13:52]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [13:52]
Bowen Yang
But you know what Jennifer Hudson just announced is that she's producing Dreamgirls is
- [13:57]
Monét X Change
going to come back and. Yeah, it's coming back.
- [13:59]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [13:59]
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Which I've been. I've been thinking, why the. Why did they not bring that with Amber Riley?
- [14:04]
Monét X Change
Okay. So I had Amber Riley on the show. I was like, amber, what happened? She was like, I'm not gonna say it was' cause of me, but I could not come and do it on Broadway.
- [14:12]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [14:13]
Monét X Change
This was like, when. This was 2018, I think.
- [14:15]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [14:16]
Monét X Change
And, like, I had a little money, was on Drag Race. I was like, you know, I'm gonna, like, take a week off and make sure I go see the show. But I never made time to go do it. And I was kicking more when I. Cause everyone was like, oh, it's coming to Broadway, right? Everyone was like, bringing. The West End production is coming to Broadway. So I was like, okay, I'll just wait till it comes to New York.
- [14:30]
Matt Rogers
Yep.
- [14:30]
Monét X Change
And when it didn't, I was so mad that I did not get to see the West End production of Dreamgirls, but now we're gonna get it here on Broadway.
- [14:37]
Matt Rogers
You've done Broadway?
- [14:38]
Monét X Change
I've never done Broadway.
- [14:40]
Matt Rogers
You're such a fucking fit.
- [14:41]
Monét X Change
You know? Cause I. So okay to be the real tea. I just started auditioning for stuff. Come, like, November. And because I was like, I'm an opera girly. And in school, you were. They kind of taught us to stick our nose. Like, they was like, you're not gonna do theater. Like, it was that. Like, it was that whole thing. So for the longest time, I was like, I can't do music theater. Like, I need to. I'm holding myself out for opera, you know? But now as, like, now I'm a fully formed adult. I'm like, no, I fucking love music theater. Death Becomes her. I've seen the show like 19 times. This is my dream.
- [15:14]
Matt Rogers
Okay. Yeah. Say, say I think that I can
- [15:19]
Monét X Change
do the Viola Van Horne role. Imagine that in full dragoons. And it is the type of role where it sits musically what Noel did. It sits perfectly in my register and it will still be just dramatic.
- [15:32]
Bowen Yang
There's no reason for this to not happen. We have to say out loud, this needs to happen.
- [15:37]
Matt Rogers
This needs to wait. This viola is the Michelle Williams. Is it Michelle Williams?
- [15:45]
Monét X Change
Exactly.
- [15:45]
Bowen Yang
Yeah. No. 100%. This would tear.
- [15:50]
Monét X Change
It would be so dope.
- [15:51]
Bowen Yang
It would be a done deal. I think it'd be about every single. I'm counting butt in a seat. I would. I need that. By the way, like, she is so. And I've been watching so much Kelly Rowland content lately. I think today we're recording is her birthday.
- [16:07]
Monét X Change
Oh, is. You better know it well.
- [16:10]
Bowen Yang
Well, is it February 13, her birthday? Because there's just been a lot of. I don't know. Tina wished her happy birthday today. So recording it is.
- [16:16]
Matt Rogers
Anything on beyonce.com it's a lot of Kelly. I was just checking beyonce.com recently and it's a lot of Kelly stuff. There's.
- [16:22]
Bowen Yang
There's a Kelly Rowland happening and I just always appreciate when that happens.
- [16:26]
Monét X Change
Yeah, she did an interview like I think like two days ago and I just saw it pop up on. On Tick Tock or something. And she. And someone asked her to do. There are all these rumors that on your tour that Beyonce like was giving you notes and like giving you things. And she was like, absolutely. She was like, she's my best friend. She's one of the greatest artists in the world. Of course. She was like, anytime my friends come to my show, I welcome notes and I like make my show better. I was like, good on you. And like not being like, no, I don't need any help. She's like, no, like, if Beyonce is my best freaking friend, don't think I'm gonna like, milk that. Of course, of course. Give me the notes, girl.
- [16:56]
Bowen Yang
She goes, iron sharpens iron.
- [16:58]
Monét X Change
Yes.
- [16:58]
Bowen Yang
I was like, work.
- [17:00]
Monét X Change
Yes.
- [17:01]
Matt Rogers
Wow.
- [17:01]
Bowen Yang
Because it is true. I mean, like, just to speak to that like you surround yourself with, I think like the highest caliber of people as well. Like you every single week talk to multiple times the funniest, smartest person, Bob the Drag Queen. Because that's who you are. And I really do think, like I was there when we were all nominated. You guys won the GLAAD award. And I was like, yeah, 100%. They should be winning every award. For two people talking to each other, like, that's just how I feel.
- [17:29]
Matt Rogers
We're never going to win those awards because we don't do Patreon. Like, we.
- [17:34]
Bowen Yang
We can't talk.
- [17:36]
Monét X Change
Let's be very care. Y' all have blown us out of the freaking water. Okay? Y'.
- [17:40]
Matt Rogers
All.
- [17:41]
Monét X Change
Are you kidding me?
- [17:42]
Bowen Yang
I'm just saying that it's all done. We're done.
- [17:44]
Matt Rogers
We're done. You do. You do sibling rivalry, Patreon.
- [17:48]
Monét X Change
Sibling rivalry, Patreon. Yeah.
- [17:49]
Matt Rogers
And then you do watchery.
- [17:51]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [17:51]
Matt Rogers
Which is, I guess, is like part of. It's folded in. But then. But then. But then the Monet talks thing is.
- [17:55]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [17:56]
Matt Rogers
The couch is disgusting. You think?
- [17:58]
Monét X Change
Oh, that couch. So that couch is. It is like a hundred dollars couch from the Facebook marketplace.
- [18:03]
Bowen Yang
Yes.
- [18:03]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [18:04]
Matt Rogers
But it works with the set.
- [18:05]
Monét X Change
Oh, it does. Because it's supposed to be like this 80s basementy vibe, like, just chill. So. Yeah. I love that couch.
- [18:11]
Matt Rogers
Well, I just. I have to ask, just because you briefly mentioned it with. With Joel. Final Fantasy 10. Talk about it.
- [18:17]
Monét X Change
Oh, my God. Okay. So in my humble opinion, yes, Final Fantasy X is one of the best games of the decade. Best stories, best story ever told of the 90s. It's just like, the gameplay is just so good. This beautiful love story with Titus and Yuna. Then you have this witch, Luna, with these little voodoo dolls. It is just. I played the game through about three or four times, and I go through it, I make sure I get all the aeons. I'm doing all the bonus content. I just love that game so much. And it's so beautifully shot.
- [18:48]
Matt Rogers
It's so beautifully shot.
- [18:49]
Monét X Change
Or drawn.
- [18:49]
Matt Rogers
Whatever, Whatever. But like this.
- [18:51]
Bowen Yang
Yes.
- [18:52]
Monét X Change
Oh, my God.
- [18:53]
Bowen Yang
What's this?
- [18:54]
Matt Rogers
This is.
- [18:54]
Bowen Yang
She.
- [18:55]
Matt Rogers
This turned a whole generation of boys gay. This is.
- [18:59]
Bowen Yang
If you saw.
- [19:00]
Matt Rogers
Do you know. Do you know Shiva?
- [19:02]
Bowen Yang
Do you know Shiva?
- [19:03]
Monét X Change
Shiva?
- [19:04]
Matt Rogers
Of course. Of course our camera guys know.
- [19:06]
Bowen Yang
One of them knows. She's a different group, by the way, than the people who knew the film 7. Like, a lot mixture of people. Last week, we had a whole bunch of guys that we mentioned the David Fincher film seven, and they all started to activate. So this is a little bit of a. In here, but similar.
- [19:24]
Matt Rogers
We're bringing people together. Shiva was just as the cuntiest ice. Before there was Elsa, before there was
- [19:30]
Monét X Change
Elsa, there was Shiva, there was Shiva.
- [19:33]
Matt Rogers
And then sometimes they do Shiva twins. Sometimes they do an army of Shivas.
- [19:36]
Bowen Yang
As in two Shivas are more.
- [19:39]
Matt Rogers
There's a bunch of Shivas, but Shiva is basically the ice goddess. And she in Final Fantasy 10. Her signature movie is always called Diamond Dust.
- [19:46]
Monét X Change
It was so good.
- [19:49]
Matt Rogers
Everybody, including you.
- [19:50]
Bowen Yang
Diamond Dust.
- [19:51]
Matt Rogers
Look up. Diamond dust. Final Fantasy 10. You. It is.
- [19:55]
Bowen Yang
That sounds like a Stevie Nicks single. Diamond Dust.
- [19:59]
Matt Rogers
Diamond Dust, Final Fantasy.
- [20:01]
Monét X Change
Look at the dust. It's so good.
- [20:03]
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Oh, I'm.
- [20:04]
Matt Rogers
See, this is. Thank you for bringing the video games into the sphere.
- [20:07]
Bowen Yang
Yeah, I love the sphere.
- [20:08]
Monét X Change
So you're a big advocate. You're a big gamer.
- [20:10]
Matt Rogers
I abs. 100%.
- [20:12]
Monét X Change
Okay.
- [20:13]
Matt Rogers
And we just came back from Japan and my whole fucking thing there was just going to the Final Fantasy Cafe by myself.
- [20:20]
Monét X Change
Fierce.
- [20:21]
Matt Rogers
It was. God, it makes me so happy. It's like the best thing of all. What are you playing now?
- [20:25]
Monét X Change
I'm playing Marvel Rivals. A lot of Marvel Rivals. Love Marvel Rivals. I play Smash Brothers, a ridiculous. Right now. Sephiroth, King Dedede, Lucas and Mega Man.
- [20:39]
Matt Rogers
These are like masks.
- [20:40]
Monét X Change
Well, you know, I play like. I play like I want to say weekly, about 10, 12 hours a week.
- [20:48]
Matt Rogers
What time?
- [20:49]
Monét X Change
You know, it's the way I decompress.
- [20:51]
Matt Rogers
Okay.
- [20:51]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [20:51]
Bowen Yang
Same with him, though. He's always playing video games when he's
- [20:54]
Monét X Change
at home after they have like, oh, blew a bunch of stuff. I'm like, just give me like two hours. I can just like.
- [20:58]
Matt Rogers
But where's Andy in this moment?
- [21:00]
Monét X Change
See, so, you know, that was a big thing in our relationship. Because, you know, I would say Andy's more of a codependent person. I'm independent. Like, I. Let me tell you, after college, I did not have any fucking roommates. I worked my ass off so I could live by myself and not have any roommates ever. Cause I was just. I lived with like three straight guys in college, and it was awful. One of them was Scott. Bless you, Scott. Scott was a man with hair on every inch of his body. And we ended up.
- [21:24]
Bowen Yang
And that kind of stuff gets all
- [21:25]
Monét X Change
over girl in the back. And your straight guys, they don't clean. So that I was like, I do not want to live with any. Anyone ever again. So. So, yeah. So when we got. When we got together, he was the first person I had lived with since college. And we also moved fast. Like we. We moved in together at seven months.
- [21:40]
Bowen Yang
Supersonic lesbianic girl.
- [21:42]
Monét X Change
Yes. Supersonic lesbianic. Is that a Victoria Monet lyric?
- [21:47]
Bowen Yang
Supersonic lesbianic is when you just travel at the speed of light.
- [21:50]
Monét X Change
Light as a lesbian forcefully through time and space. So. And then. So my perfect. In a perfect world for me, how we're spending time. We're in. In the same house. Together occupying the same space, different rooms. You're in your room.
- [22:03]
Matt Rogers
Yep, I'm in my room. Oh, I love it.
- [22:04]
Monét X Change
I think that's great.
- [22:05]
Matt Rogers
Me too.
- [22:05]
Monét X Change
Andy wants to be right here next to me on the couch. And I'm like, he's one of those dogs. He's one of those.
- [22:11]
Bowen Yang
So one thing is that there has to be separate bathrooms.
- [22:14]
Monét X Change
Absolutely.
- [22:15]
Matt Rogers
Okay.
- [22:16]
Bowen Yang
I just wanted to check in.
- [22:18]
Monét X Change
Separate bathrooms, separate closets.
- [22:20]
Bowen Yang
So you really did get it all.
- [22:21]
Monét X Change
I did, yeah. I have the ensuite closet to the bathroom. Isn't the thing. That's all my downstairs.
- [22:27]
Matt Rogers
Thank you. Like that is. That should be normal.
- [22:29]
Bowen Yang
If you have.
- [22:30]
Matt Rogers
If you are lucky enough to have that be the arrangement.
- [22:33]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [22:34]
Matt Rogers
The edible arrangement, if you can.
- [22:35]
Bowen Yang
It's the most edible arrangement out of all the arrangements, I would say it's the most edible.
- [22:44]
Matt Rogers
What if your WI fi was more than just WI fi? What if your WI fi made everything in your whole house just work together better?
- [22:51]
Bowen Yang
Well, Xfinity WI fi pretty much does exactly that. It's powered by their best, most elite, high performing tech us.
- [22:58]
Matt Rogers
To paint a very realistic example, everyone in your house, everyone is on their devices at the exact same time. Gaming, working, swiping. Right. Because of course they are. And the finale of your favorite show of all time of the week is on at the exact same moment. Well, you can boost the WI fi to your device with Xfinity.
- [23:17]
Bowen Yang
And have you ever asked yourself, what if my WI fi could keep watch over my kids for me? Well, probably not, because that's a weird thing to ask yourself, but Xfinity WI Fi has parenting skills, even if you sometimes forget yours. Xfinity's like, don't worry, I'll monitor the WI fi.
- [23:32]
Matt Rogers
It's completely proactive, fixing issues before they even happen. Bottom line, Xfinity is smart and reliable. You deserve the peace of mind of having WI fi that's got your back.
- [23:42]
Bowen Yang
Xfinity. Imagine that.
- [23:45]

What is it that makes the all new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid an incredible suv?
- [24:46]
Bowen Yang
Is it the spacious interior that's comfy for the whole crew or the capability to go off road?
- [24:51]
Matt Rogers
It could be. Or maybe it's up to 600 plus miles of range. What if it's all that and more?
- [24:59]
Bowen Yang
The Hyundai Palisade defies everything you thought you knew an SUV to be. With more style and capability. It's something new entirely.
- [25:06]
Matt Rogers
It has class leading interior space with purposeful tech, available front row and second row relaxation seats, available class exclusive blind

But I also felt this way when I was on Monet Talks. I was like oh I remember. I was like it's over when they said it was time to go. I was like, I could talk forever. Of course. What was the culture that made you say culture was for you? This is the central question of lost culture. And we put it to you now on a X change.
- [26:55]
Monét X Change
For me it is unequivocally. That's so Raven.
- [27:00]
Matt Rogers
Okay.
- [27:02]
Monét X Change
That's so Raven. Like the way that that show was literally a cultural reset was dope. Like before, like, you know, cause in that same era we had Suite Life of Zack And Cody, Lizzie McGuire, things were happening, all those things. She was the first, it was the first black girl led sitcom and she was a little thicker. And Raven was allowed to be funny. Crazy. Her physical comedy was unmatched.
- [27:23]
Bowen Yang
She was giving the best comedic performance on television. Absolutely. It was Lucille Ball and she was
- [27:29]
Monét X Change
playing all these characters. She was a psychic, all this stuff. And I just thought seeing Raven Baxter on my screen, all the different characters, she very like Martinez or Jamie Fox playing all these different characters, Eddie Murphy type shit. And she was just. And also not even that Raven Simone, like you look fast, you rewind. Fifteen years before that she was doing it on the Cosby Show. So Raven has always been on the cutting edge of really this sitcom TV show space, like ushering this new era and normalizing the experience of black folks living and being like stars. So that's what Raven was at for me.
- [28:01]
Matt Rogers
Dr. Dolittle too.
- [28:02]
Monét X Change
Dr. Dolittle too.
- [28:03]
Bowen Yang
It's because they knew they had someone who could do anything.
- [28:07]
Monét X Change
Yeah, she could do anything.
- [28:08]
Bowen Yang
When you talk about it being like, like akin to all of those things of the past, it's because they were like, we have an opportunity in this talent to throw any kind of sketch situation, any kind of thing at this person. And you do not see that now. You don't see that now. And it is a little bit like she was a kid, etc. Like, you know, we now look at like being a child actor differently in terms of how much they should work. But the thing is like that type of personality doesn't even really exist anymore
- [28:38]
Matt Rogers
because there aren't showcases for it anymore. Right?
- [28:40]
Monét X Change
Yeah. It's like, well, it's like why can't we have that? Like why like, like the. Surely the talent isn't gone. There is some kid out there who has that same breath of like talent.
- [28:49]
Matt Rogers
But where just gets lost in the sauce of like the social media stuff now. Like there really aren't like, like what's, what's. What's been the last like big like Disney Channel slash Nick. Like there, there just there Aren't those things, except, like, High School Musical. The. The series, I guess, like, if you
- [29:06]
Bowen Yang
attach that to it, then, like, you could say Olivia Rodrigo. But then she wasn't, like, like, famous for being on that show. She became a superstar as a result of that song.
- [29:16]
Monét X Change
Yeah, the song. Yeah.
- [29:17]
Bowen Yang
So it is hard to say.
- [29:18]
Monét X Change
Yeah. I don't think. Does Disney. Do they still do original shows like that? I can't. I can't name one. Or, like, have we aged out? Does we Just don't know. But I still watch cartoons. I love Avatar. The Last Airbender.
- [29:27]
Bowen Yang
Yeah. I mean, listen, I feel like if. If there was a personality that, like, existed like, that we would know it. I would also point out who was like that. Amanda Bynes.
- [29:36]
Monét X Change
Amanda. I want to say Amanda Bynes as well. He's the man. She. She. Man.
- [29:41]
Bowen Yang
He's the best. She's the man.
- [29:43]
Matt Rogers
Gender is a construct.
- [29:44]
Bowen Yang
Yeah, whatever.
- [29:45]
Monét X Change
It was her show, the Amanda Bind Show. Like, iconic.
- [29:47]
Matt Rogers
Huge.
- [29:47]
Monét X Change
Like, Raven and Raven and Amanda, they were like. They were. They were. They were paying the bills over there at Disney as well.
- [29:56]
Bowen Yang
Like, my dad was always like, this girl is the funniest person on television. I was like, she is so good.
- [30:02]
Matt Rogers
Favorite. That's a Raven episode.
- [30:03]
Monét X Change
Oh, the one when she. They're in the store at the mall, and I think she gets a premonition or the future of someone stealing something or something like that. And they have. And she's, like, trying to stop Orlando Brown, which she's gonna.
- [30:20]
Matt Rogers
Wait, what's. What's.
- [30:22]
Monét X Change
Things are not well. She's not well. She's not well.
- [30:25]
Matt Rogers
Okay.
- [30:26]
Monét X Change
Yeah. And then, like, Chelsea, which. Oh, my God. She was also a great actress, too.
- [30:30]
Bowen Yang
And Elisa Vanderpoel, she's great.
- [30:32]
Monét X Change
Yeah. She was also really great timing and stuff. Like, these kids. I'm like. Well, y' all were really. Y' all were in theater and stuff as kids. Kids.
- [30:40]
Matt Rogers
No.
- [30:40]
Bowen Yang
Well, no, no, not at all. We were. He did theater, and I was like, sports, sports, sports. I was more Andy Short.
- [30:48]
Matt Rogers
He was in East Short. No, I. There were the kids who did, like, community theater where you went.
- [30:53]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [30:54]
Matt Rogers
They're. They're living the dream.
- [30:55]
Bowen Yang
You are weaponized in a way. They can't do it to me. But it was. I always wanted to become, like, a little theater weapon.
- [31:02]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [31:03]
Bowen Yang
But I. It. There was no Runway for me.
- [31:05]
Monét X Change
Yeah. I was wearing Skechers. I was being made to fun. I was being made fun of all the time. No. Oh, yeah.
- [31:10]
Matt Rogers
How did you find opera?
- [31:12]
Monét X Change
So I was this chubby little black Boy. In middle school, I went to Marine Park Junior High School, the third worst middle school in New York State.
- [31:20]
Matt Rogers
In Brooklyn.
- [31:20]
Monét X Change
In Brooklyn. In Marine park, like, so bad. Like, in middle school, 6th, 7th, 8th grade, they would have, like, cop cars lined out of the school to get it to corral us onto the buses. By, like, seventh grade, I had been jumped, like, five times. Cause I was just a bitch. I. I've always kind of walked like Daffy Duck. I've always had a thick old booty walking around. Mateo always makes fun of me for the show. And then so, like, I would always make fun of me. But as all queer kids do, I found comfort and joy in chorus. Honey. I was like, let me go to the chorus. I was one of the three boys in chorus. And I had a low voice. Like, I started growing facial hair in, like, seventh grade.
- [31:53]
Nancy Glass
Oh.
- [31:53]
Monét X Change
So I was like. Could sing the low notes in chorus.
- [31:56]
Bowen Yang
It was all about the bass.
- [31:56]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [31:57]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [31:58]
Monét X Change
And then after that, my teacher was like, you know what? You should audition for one of those high schools in the city. I was like, like, oh, there's, like, audition high school. She's like, yeah, there's LaGuardia. There's PPS. There's the one in Queens. Frank Sinatra. All those ones. I was like, okay. So I literally. They treat it like a fucking American Idol audition.
- [32:15]
Bowen Yang
I was just gonna say, you stand.
- [32:16]
Monét X Change
You line. You line up outside the school. You get a number on a cold New York City morning, and you're eating your bacon, egg and cheese and line trying to do your little scales to warm up. And you do, like, a sight singing.
- [32:27]
Matt Rogers
Scale, little scales.
- [32:28]
Monét X Change
Get a little scale.
- [32:29]
Matt Rogers
You have to sight sing.
- [32:30]
Monét X Change
You have to sight sing.
- [32:31]
Bowen Yang
Oh, that was terrifying.
- [32:32]
Matt Rogers
At the tender age of 13.
- [32:33]
Monét X Change
Or ass girl. And you do that and then. And my audition song was Flying Without Wings by Reuben Stutter.
- [32:40]
Bowen Yang
Yes, it was. And that's the joy it brings. And that's the joy it brings.
- [32:45]
Monét X Change
That is the joy of ring.
- [32:51]
Bowen Yang
He was so good.
- [32:52]
Monét X Change
He was so good, right?
- [32:54]
Bowen Yang
Both of them were good. Clay was good. Reuben was good. Kimberly Lock was better.
- [32:58]
Monét X Change
Kimberly Lock was the one one.
- [33:00]
Bowen Yang
And Trinise was my girl.
- [33:02]
Matt Rogers
I love Trinise.
- [33:03]
Bowen Yang
She was fifth place.
- [33:04]
Matt Rogers
Kimberly Locke saying Somewhere over the rainbow three different times in the same.
- [33:09]
Bowen Yang
She said, I know you remember this one. Kimberly Lock, always sad. Somewhere over the ramp. Somewhere over there.
- [33:16]
Monét X Change
And then Clay became. Is he, like, a politician now?
- [33:18]
Bowen Yang
He tried.
- [33:21]
Matt Rogers
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you just audition for PBAs?
- [33:25]
Monét X Change
No, it isn't for LaGuardia and PPS and Frank Sinatra. And Frank Sinatra. And I got into. I'm sorry. And Talent Unlimited, which. I don't know. Talent Unlimited is still over here. It was on the Talent Limited. Talent Unlimited. Talent. And I got into PVS, Talent Unlimited and Spank Sinatra. But LaGuardia said, no, thank you.
- [33:44]
Bowen Yang
So what's.
- [33:45]
Monét X Change
What.
- [33:45]
Matt Rogers
What was the feeling? Because you can talk about it now. There's been enough discussions.
- [33:48]
Monét X Change
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- [33:49]
Matt Rogers
What was the feeling of going to PBS Knowing that LaGuardia was just up?
- [33:52]
Monét X Change
Okay, you know, so, like, literally. It's literally like, what, 15 blocks, literally on the same avenue, up the street, on the east side, on the west
- [34:00]
Matt Rogers
side, on the west side, west side,
- [34:01]
Monét X Change
on the west side. And, you know, I mean, at first you're like, I didn't get into the Fame School. I didn't get into LaGuardia. But, like, I really. I really do feel like everything happens for a reason.
- [34:10]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [34:10]
Monét X Change
And because I went to PPAs, we had Ms. Wright. Her name was Chantel Wright, and she was really big on, like, I know y' all kids, like, y' all R and B and y' all hip hop. She was like, but y' all gonna learn some culture in this motherfucking way. Wow. So she would, like. So she would introduce us. Opera and anthems and spirituals and stuff like that. And we. We. We were part of this, like, touring choir, the Songs of Solomon. And we would tour on spring break and midwinter break. We would go on tours to Canada, around the States. And, like, she was really instrumental in introducing me to opera. So that's when, from her I was like, maybe I can do opera. And I went to Westminster Choir College in Jersey for my degree in Music Ed. Yeah. And that's what I did, George. Yeah.
- [34:47]
Matt Rogers
And then you stuck around Bronx.
- [34:51]
Monét X Change
No. So I went to school there. When I came back, I moved to Brooklyn, but went back home to Brooklyn for a year. Then I got my own place, and I lived in Brooklyn for two years. And then I moved to the Bronx,
- [35:01]
Matt Rogers
then Bronx, and then. Were you doing barricades?
- [35:02]
Monét X Change
I remember the Bronx was so disgusting.
- [35:04]
Matt Rogers
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. The commute is rough.
- [35:06]
Monét X Change
It was weird. It was terrible. But also when I finished that, I taught at PS130 at Hernandez DeSoto School in the Lower east side.
- [35:16]
Bowen Yang
Doing theater teaching.
- [35:17]
Monét X Change
Yeah, music. Music teaching. I was, like, the adjunct music teacher there, and I did that for a year and a half, and I was like, this is awful. So I did that. And then I. Then I sang with Portland Opera for two years, and we were on Summer break and I was doing a young artist program here in the city, and then I met Jasmine Rice was a previous year.
- [35:35]
Matt Rogers
Yeah, I just saw Jasmine last night.
- [35:36]
Monét X Change
Oh, really? Oh, Hudson Williams at the Hudson Williams. Yeah, I saw that. Oh, my God. How does Hudson Williams look in person?
- [35:42]
Matt Rogers
Gorge. He's 25. I'm like, he's a whole 10 years younger than us.
- [35:47]
Monét X Change
Yeah, but 25.
- [35:48]
Matt Rogers
I know.
- [35:50]
Bowen Yang
It's okay.
- [35:50]
Matt Rogers
It's okay.
- [35:51]
Bowen Yang
It's okay.
- [35:51]
Matt Rogers
It's okay. It's okay.
- [35:52]
Monét X Change
It's true. It's okay.
- [35:52]
Bowen Yang
Sounds like a perfect age to me.
- [35:56]
Monét X Change
And I was on a summer break, and this is when season three of Drag Race was airing, and Jasmine and I, we connected over this love for Drag Race, and we were like, should we try doing drag? So we went to the. This is when they had that big ass forever 21 on Times Square. And, girl, we went on our lunch break and we were shopping like women, honey. Just two big men in the women's section being like, y' all have this in the 42?
- [36:16]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [36:17]
Monét X Change
And then we tried on dresses in Forever 21, went to Mac, got, like, some Ruby Woo lipstick and, like, some foundation, and literally got in drag and went to the Ritz and saw Thorgy Thor. And as Roy would do a show there. And from that night on, we were like, oh, we're bit by the bug. We're doing this. And then we started doing. We did Pride that year. We walked the entire parade from 52nd street down to the West Village in, like, six inch heels. Like, it was crazy.
- [36:42]
Matt Rogers
That's a gorgeous memory, though.
- [36:44]
Monét X Change
Oh, I loved it. I loved it. It was time of my life.
- [36:46]
Matt Rogers
And then. Did you and Jasmine know each other from doing opera before?
- [36:48]
Monét X Change
No. That Young Artist program summer of 2012 was the first time we ever met. We just happened to bounce into each other.
- [36:54]
Matt Rogers
Gorgeous.
- [36:54]
Monét X Change
Yeah. And she's such an amazing singer.
- [36:56]
Bowen Yang
She's an amazing.
- [36:56]
Matt Rogers
Both of you are, I think, are
- [36:57]
Monét X Change
so love her voice.
- [36:59]
Matt Rogers
Beautifully, beautifully matched.
- [37:01]
Monét X Change
But when I started doing drag, I was still working because I still. I was on summer break and I was working at the Holiday Inn Express at jfk. I had told my boss, I was like, I'm gonna be late for Pride because I was doing products. I'm gonna be a little late. And I'm like in my Suzuki Grand Vitara, leaving Pride, driving down the bqe, and I was using duct tape to cinch my waist. So I'm in the car, like, removing my makeup, trying to take my pads and shit on while I'm driving. And I take the duct tape to rip it off and I rip off a chunk of my skin the size of like a sack of jewelry.
- [37:35]
Bowen Yang
This is another short film. You guys both have our skin and.
- [37:39]
Monét X Change
Cause I was like, I ripped. I'm like, oh, my God. But I was like, I have to go to work. And I get to work kind of half drag, half have a suit on. He was like, you're fired.
- [37:47]
Bowen Yang
No, you got fired.
- [37:49]
Monét X Change
I got fired, yeah. Oh, he was such a homophobe, that guy. He did not like that. It came to the job.
- [37:54]
Matt Rogers
Fired and bleeding.
- [37:55]
Monét X Change
Fired and bleeding in half drag.
- [37:58]
Bowen Yang
When.
- [37:58]
Matt Rogers
Oh, my God, this is incredible. When was Barracuda.
- [38:02]
Monét X Change
Barracuda started? So I was like, work. After that job, I got a job at the Yale Club of New York City, which is a very high brow club. Branches of Yale, uva and Dartmouth. And I was doing that. It was my first union job. I was making like $30 an hour. I was living la vida loca, baby. And so I'm doing that. And then at that point, I was still like going out randomly in New York, here and there, going out to a club, no gigs. And then I had picked up like one gig at the Phoenix Bar in Lower east side.
- [38:32]
Bowen Yang
Oh, my God, girl.
- [38:33]
Monét X Change
Phoenix. Is she still here with us?
- [38:34]
Matt Rogers
I think she's still here. I think she is. Is she?
- [38:37]
Bowen Yang
If she is, we haven't seen her in a while. Actually, maybe I did like a year
- [38:40]
Monét X Change
and a half have stumble into the Phoenix.
- [38:43]
Bowen Yang
I think I might have, like, isn't this funny? Like,
- [38:48]
Monét X Change
so I was doing that, became friends with Bob, and Bob was like, monet, you need to quit your job at the Yale Club. I was like, why? He's like, monet, I think you really have talent to be really great in drag. If you keep on doing half measures, you'll never succeed at anything.
- [38:59]
Bowen Yang
Whoa. Come on, Bob.
- [38:59]
Monét X Change
I know. I was like, girl, I have a union job. Like, I have like, benefits. I have health insurance. You dirty drag queens. Or you hurt yourselves. You can't pay for your health insurance. I can pay for my shit, you know? I was like, what? And then like, literally two weeks later I was like, I think he's right. And I just quit my job.
- [39:15]
Matt Rogers
Whoa.
- [39:17]
Monét X Change
Full time in drag. And then one thing led to another. Then I got one gig, then two gigs and three gigs. And then by a year after I quit that job, I had like seven gigs over like five days in New York.
- [39:26]
Bowen Yang
It felt like you were the girl very fast.
- [39:29]
Monét X Change
Yeah, I remember.
- [39:30]
Bowen Yang
This is. This is like when we were really out a lot in, like, our mid to late 20s.
- [39:35]
Matt Rogers
And, like, we would go to see Bob. You would host Watch Parties? Yeah, I would come to the watch parties. Host. And I was like, yeah. I was like, oh, our local girls keep, like, moving up. I would. I would see Alexis Michelle.
- [39:49]
Bowen Yang
We did a show with Alexis Michelle.
- [39:50]
Monét X Change
Did.
- [39:50]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [39:51]
Monét X Change
Really?
- [39:51]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [39:51]
Monét X Change
What was the show?
- [39:52]
Matt Rogers
It's called Drag Court.
- [39:53]
Bowen Yang
Drag Court. Bo was the judge and I was.
- [39:57]
Matt Rogers
You were the. I was the bf. Ruby Rue was the judge.
- [40:00]
Monét X Change
Oh, my God.
- [40:01]
Bowen Yang
And it was Alexis Michelle. And who was she up against?
- [40:04]
Matt Rogers
I was like, with. Up against, like, Bible girl. I want to say Bible girl.
- [40:07]
Bowen Yang
Definitely did the show. Bible Girl. My homework was the snuggler. I never spoke.
- [40:13]
Matt Rogers
Those were. God. We were really.
- [40:15]
Monét X Change
That's what I love about those. Like, I just. I love all of that shit.
- [40:18]
Bowen Yang
No one gave a fuck what we were doing.
- [40:21]
Monét X Change
You know what I mean?
- [40:22]
Bowen Yang
And. And really, no one cared. And I talk about. We used to do this filthy lip sync dance duo, which was like. We were just like whores. We just wore underwear and, like, drew makeup all over our face. And we were called Sluck. Our names were Slut. And we. We were. There would be months where the entire Google cat was just, okay, Slut perform Thursday.
- [40:40]
Matt Rogers
Saturday.
- [40:41]
Bowen Yang
We were a hit.
- [40:42]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [40:43]
Bowen Yang
And there was one time when we realized, like, it was over. When we looked out into the crowd and there was one person, and it was our friend Amanda.
- [40:50]
Monét X Change
Amanda Bynes.
- [40:51]
Matt Rogers
Amanda.
- [40:55]
Bowen Yang
She doesn't know about Slug.
- [40:56]
Monét X Change
Riz Krack and I, we did a show together at. On. At Hardware Bar on Sundays. It's called Turn It On Sundays. And like, this what I think the girls in New York. Well, what I've heard is that girls aren't interested in, like, growing shows anymore. Like, they. They start doing drag in the living rooms, and they're like, my Booking fee is $150 and blah, blah, blah, blah. I was like, no. When Crack and I started that show at Turner on Sundays, I'm not kidding. There would be sometimes maybe two people in the audience. One drunk lesbian and one guy asleep in the back corner named RuPaul. Just asleep, not paying any attention to us. But we did the show. We did our thing, and we grew it and grew it. And by the time we were, like, right before we left. Cause we couldn't do because of Drag Race. Cause we were traveling and stuff. We had built a show that people would come out to on Sundays. And we, like, packed the bar out. But I'm like, you gotta just. You Gotta work. Like, work for that show.
- [41:43]
Matt Rogers
And then would you say, like, you, like, learned so many things from just being in the room in the same space?
- [41:48]
Monét X Change
Yes, yes. Like, you know, I didn't, like, have traditional standup comedy. Like, I was going to the Cellar and doing all the, like, you know, how Mateo and Nicole and all these people do it.
- [41:57]
Bowen Yang
I have so much respect for. I have so much respect done. Because it is hard.
- [42:00]
Monét X Change
It's really hard.
- [42:01]
Bowen Yang
Mateo would talk a lot too, about being, like, the only gay guy and, like, how tough that was.
- [42:05]
Monét X Change
You know what I mean?
- [42:06]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [42:06]
Monét X Change
So I kind of did mine in my own way by coming up in drag. I'm like, performing for two and three people and, like, doing bits. And four years ago, my agent was like, hey, comedy dynamics, they want to do specials before different queens. I was like, special, like, what? He's like, comedy specials. He's like, are you interested? I was like, well, I'm not a stand up comedian. He's like, well, yeah, you are. I was like, I'm not. And he was like, I've gone to your shows. I used to see New York before. I was like, you are a stand up comedian. You're just not calling yourself that. And I was like, I don't know. He's like, do me a favor, just sit down for a week, try to write some material, see where you get, and then let's talk after that. So. So I, like, took a week off of work, and I was just at home writing bits, going over material. I was like, okay, I think I have an hour here of comedy. That next week he booked me at the Berea Improv. I did the Brea Improv, sold it out, did a really good job. And then this is what I don't love. The next week I recorded a special, which is not what you do.
- [42:55]
Matt Rogers
Oh, but you couldn't have known that.
- [42:57]
Monét X Change
I didn't know that.
- [42:58]
Matt Rogers
Yeah. Yeah.
- [42:59]
Monét X Change
So I recorded my first special ever after literally doing the material for literally one week.
- [43:04]
Bowen Yang
Right.
- [43:04]
Monét X Change
And so it's fine. But now I worked on this new hour for the past two years. This material is so fucking funny. It is at such a good place. I'm so happy for people to come see it. And like, these comedy clubs, when they book me and I come and after a weekend, they're like, wow, that was really good. And I'm like, what were you expecting?
- [43:22]
Bowen Yang
I know you're not someone who does the thing where you don't work your fucking ass off and then just show up. Like, that was an anomaly.
- [43:28]
Monét X Change
Yeah. I was like, what are you like, what are these girls coming when they're doing here? These clubs. So anyway. But I'm happy that it is working out well. And this new hour is so beautiful. I'm very happy with it.
- [43:38]
Matt Rogers
Our knees. Jennifer, surrendered to you because you and Zaya talked about how your feet. You got foot feminization.
- [43:45]
Monét X Change
Yeah. Fff.

Matt Rogers
I was foot podiatric. Feminization surgery.
- [43:49]
Monét X Change
Podiatric. Okay.
- [43:50]
Matt Rogers
Why not?
- [43:51]
Bowen Yang
Yeah, feminization. Maybe a title of that.
- [43:55]
Matt Rogers
Title of that. I mean, you went to a podiatrist.
- [43:57]
Monét X Change
I was. Well, he's not a podiatrist. Oh, sorry. He is a podiatrist. But my friend who's a surgeon said I should have went to a orthopedic. Orthopedic surgeon.
- [44:05]
Matt Rogers
Okay.
- [44:05]
Bowen Yang
I was gonna say foot doctor.
- [44:06]
Matt Rogers
Foot doctor. You said Andy has gargoyle feet.
- [44:10]
Monét X Change
Stop it now says that. I think Andy has very beautiful feet. And I posted it on our Patreon. And his foot.
- [44:17]
Bowen Yang
To Patreon. Yeah.
- [44:19]
Monét X Change
No, no, I stuck a figure. No, I got it.
- [44:24]
Bowen Yang
He was, like, almost cozied up next
- [44:25]
Monét X Change
to me, but I think Andy has pretty feet.
- [44:28]
Bowen Yang
Let me show you.
- [44:30]
Matt Rogers
So pretty.
- [44:30]
Monét X Change
Andy is pretty.
- [44:31]
Bowen Yang
I mean, he, like, he is a different man now than he was sometimes. He pops up on my grid now, and I'm like, okay, Andy.
- [44:39]
Monét X Change
Well, you know, he still has some straight tendencies. We're trying to beat them out of him, but for the most part, I.
- [44:44]
Matt Rogers
What are the tendencies?
- [44:45]
Monét X Change
Like, okay, this also. I recognize that I may have a tinge of ocd.
- [44:50]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [44:51]
Bowen Yang
Okay. I think you're probably not alone here.
- [44:54]
Monét X Change
Okay.
- [44:55]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [44:55]
Monét X Change
So, like, as. But as gay men, I feel like that's kind of my default factory setting.
- [44:59]
Matt Rogers
It's a game power.
- [44:59]
Monét X Change
It's a gay power.
- [45:00]
Matt Rogers
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [45:01]
Monét X Change
And Andy, since late to the game, he just doesn't see these things. So I am constant. He does this thing.
- [45:04]
Bowen Yang
He.
- [45:05]
Monét X Change
He got a fucking ninja Creepy for Christmas.
- [45:07]
Bowen Yang
What is a Ninja Creamy?
- [45:09]
Matt Rogers
Like a mixer.
- [45:10]
Monét X Change
It basically takes. You can put anything inside of it, and it can turn it into an ice cream or a sorbet.
- [45:15]
Bowen Yang
Ninja Creamy.
- [45:16]
Monét X Change
But, like, with.
- [45:17]
Bowen Yang
Oh, I am happy thinking about it. A Ninja Creamy.
- [45:22]
Monét X Change
It's so good. It's kind of like a nutribullet, but, like, for making ice cream and sorbet.
- [45:26]
Matt Rogers
It is.
- [45:27]
Monét X Change
So he's this thing. He makes all these sorbets. He puts them in the thing. He'll pick one out of the freezer, take the lid off, put the lid on the counter. No. And leave.
- [45:39]
Matt Rogers
No.
- [45:39]
Monét X Change
And they Just have a dirty ice cream on the counter. I'm like, when? Literally the sink, this is lid. The sink is right here. I want to just take it and put in the sink.
- [45:48]
Matt Rogers
Put in the sink one time.
- [45:49]
Bowen Yang
Can have lids on the counter. It's real culture. Number 20 can have lids on the counter.
- [45:53]
Monét X Change
Like one time. Our cleaning lady left at like 5 o'.
- [45:56]
Matt Rogers
Clock.
- [45:57]
Monét X Change
I walked downstairs and at 5:05 there was a dirty lid on the counter. I said, what is this lid doing on the counter? I was like, andi, get out here right now and wash this lid and put it it away.
- [46:06]
Bowen Yang
And does he do it in shame?
- [46:08]
Monét X Change
Yes.
- [46:08]
Bowen Yang
You watch him. You just go, you just, you just shake it. Yes.
- [46:11]
Monét X Change
I sit there and I'm an avid make the bed every morning. There's nothing better to me than coming back home and just getting in a nice made bed.
- [46:17]
Matt Rogers
Unbeatable.
- [46:17]
Bowen Yang
Sorry. At a certain rate there is no excuse for your bed not to be made. And I will full on go over to friends homes and they allow me to come in the home when the bed isn't made. Pillows on the ground, clothes on the ground. I don't want to see it.
- [46:34]
Monét X Change
And I'm judging every time. I'm judging. I am judging you.
- [46:37]
Matt Rogers
Do you top cheat?
- [46:39]
Monét X Change
I don't topsheet.
- [46:39]
Matt Rogers
I don't topsheet either.
- [46:40]
Monét X Change
I don't cheat. Yeah, the top sheet, that's a step too far.
- [46:43]
Matt Rogers
That's a step too far. Because then you got to straighten that.
- [46:45]
Bowen Yang
It's a hospital clinic.
- [46:46]
Monét X Change
It's the whole thing. I don't need the top sheet.
- [46:48]
Matt Rogers
No.
- [46:49]
Monét X Change
I recently started. Well, I was into duvets. That was a Nordic. Because I watched like every. I try every week. Let's be honest. Every two weeks.
- [46:56]
Matt Rogers
Every two is fine.
- [46:57]
Monét X Change
Every two. And then I'm like redoing the duvet was like. I was like, I just can't.
- [47:01]
Bowen Yang
It's such a to do.
- [47:02]
Monét X Change
So now we just have like three different comforters. We just rotate. We, we, we vacuum seal the ones we're not using and just use the one that we're using.
- [47:08]
Matt Rogers
We're doing duvets. Feels like you're. You're going cave diving or something.
- [47:11]
Bowen Yang
I still don't know what, what the good plan of attack you're supposed to do.
- [47:16]
Matt Rogers
You're supposed to turn it inside out, line it up, do the roll right. People are nodding. And then put. Take the labia and then put it.
- [47:23]
Bowen Yang
Yeah, yeah.
- [47:24]
Matt Rogers
I get.
- [47:25]
Bowen Yang
Conceptually, I get that. But that doesn't mean it works. Doesn't work at breakfast, Like a menace in the sheets underneath. Like, what's going on of work in practice.
- [47:33]
Matt Rogers
You got. You got to pause whatever TV show or podcast you're listening to, literally to
- [47:37]
Monét X Change
focus on only because.
- [47:38]
Matt Rogers
Exactly.
- [47:39]
Monét X Change

Bowen Yang
I've had anxious fits about it. I'm like, I can't do this.
- [47:43]
Matt Rogers
Like, it's like, why, why, why?
- [47:45]
Monét X Change
So, like, little things like that. I'm still like, nurse, you know, training
- [47:48]
Bowen Yang
no lid on the counter is a big no. No. And all the points you just gained for that proposal, Andy, out the window. Some of them have gone out the way. You're still up. And he's always up. Really, really, really.
- [48:03]
Matt Rogers
Is he? Would you call him? Wait, did you do Bob?
- [48:06]
Bowen Yang
Talk about this.
- [48:06]
Matt Rogers

Matt Rogers
Make it happen.
- [48:11]
Monét X Change
He has a full time job doing his, like, recovery work. I'm like, you don't have time to Fitness influence.

Monét X Change
Well, you know, he.
- [48:18]
Matt Rogers
He is.

Monét X Change

Is it the spacious interior that's comfy for the whole crew or the capability to go off road?

Monét X Change
y' all are probably too big. Would y' all ever do the Traders?
- [53:00]
Matt Rogers
Okay, this is. This has come up, like, this is like the fourth time it's come up
- [53:03]
Monét X Change
well from someone from the show.
- [53:06]
Matt Rogers
Yes, absolutely. So this is the first time someone from the show.
- [53:09]
Bowen Yang
We love the show. And we said, like, what was it probably two years ago? We said, we came on an episode all brave, and we're like, we'll do it. Ask us to do it, please. We want to do it. And then they asked and. And I don't know about you, but I personally thought about them editing me into a character. I thought about doing reality television for real and earnest, and it made me very uncomfortable.
- [53:30]
Matt Rogers
This is a Joel Kim booster says, too. It's like the three of, like, he's kind of, like, influenced us in this way where it's like, they. You're handing over the edit to them. Do you have no idea what to do? Are you over that fear now? Like, do you still have.
- [53:41]
Monét X Change
Yeah, because what I've realized in the reality of then, I'm like, it really just amplifies who you are. Yeah. I think both of you all actually funny, good, nice, sweet people. I was like, so it is virtually impossible to turn you into some, like, gargoyle and monster because that's not who y' all are.
- [53:55]
Bowen Yang
Who sent you here? Who sent you here to get a sunlight on the dotted line?
- [54:00]
Monét X Change
People who go on TV and look like. Like, Michael Rapafort is a bad person.
- [54:04]
Bowen Yang
You know what I'm saying is it's like. And I have to say, like, I wonder what you think about this. Based on the reactions that people are earning now out and about, they feel very strong. But I wonder, as someone who went through it, how. How are you feeling with everything has shaken out in terms of the way people are being received, the way the game is going, like Fallouts, like, where do you sit in all of it?
- [54:31]
Monét X Change
Did this come out after? When did this come out?
- [54:34]
Bowen Yang
This is going to come out not this Wednesday, but the Wednesday after.
- [54:37]
Monét X Change
So, yeah, we can't talk about the Reunion, But I think that we shot it yesterday.
- [54:41]
Matt Rogers
Okay.
- [54:42]
Monét X Change
I think that for the most part, what happened in the castle is what is showing again. There's so many conversations that happen that you don't know about. So some of that you see on tv, like, oh, that happened. I didn't realize that happened. But for the most part, I think how people were behaving in the castle are what they did. Like, we all knew Colson was playing an aggressive game. You know what I mean? And I think the consensus online is that it's a bad strategy. I don't think it's that bad. I think he's just playing hard. He's just playing hard, hard. And I'm like, I'd rather. Honestly, I'd rather Colton than a Tara Lipinski. Tara don't know what the hell is going on.
- [55:16]
Bowen Yang
I'm rooting for them because in this last episode, it's like. It's like the two are just, like, talking at the round table about, like, okay, so the truth is, we're best friends. And so for that reason, I know he's not a traitor.
- [55:29]
Monét X Change
It's just like, I'm like, oh, my God, how brave of Tara and Johnny to come out as Brad knew, girl.
- [55:37]
Bowen Yang
It's just also so funny, too, because other people in the house, you can tell. It's split from people being like, yeah, I knew they were best friends. Like, I know the Tera Lipinsky and Johnny Weir thing. Duh. And people that are, like, they revealed they were best friends, and that was the worst thing you ever could have done. Like, Mark Ballas being like, they just really signed their death warrant. I'm like, I don't know who I'm rooting for. I guess I'm rooting for Mora Higgins.
- [56:01]
Monét X Change
For Mora. Okay, let's hear about Mora. I'm not kidding. This is a fact. She said it. And the castle was just. Maura had not watched a single episode of the show before going to the castle. Maura had no idea there were banishments. Maura had no idea people were getting murdered.
- [56:16]
Bowen Yang
I think someone's getting murdered tonight.
- [56:19]
Monét X Change
After the first night, she was like, I think after the first roundtable, I
- [56:22]
Bowen Yang
think there's a traitor.
- [56:23]
Matt Rogers
Tank is a traitor.
- [56:25]
Monét X Change
I think.
- [56:25]
Bowen Yang
Oi, Tink.
- [56:26]
Matt Rogers
Sorry. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Sorry.
- [56:30]
Bowen Yang
Oi. Oi, Tink.
- [56:33]
Matt Rogers
Oi, Tink.
- [56:33]
Bowen Yang
Sterings is the traitor.
- [56:36]
Matt Rogers
Candy is gone.
- [56:38]
Monét X Change
Something strange after the. After Portia got vanished. I'm not kidding. We were all in the. Everyone was really upset.
- [56:45]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [56:45]
Monét X Change
And we were all in the kitchen. And she goes, is this gonna happen every night? And I was like, are you doing a bit like, right, right, right. She had no idea that the banishments happen every day.
- [56:59]
Bowen Yang
Yep.
- [57:00]
Monét X Change
Maura just wanted to come on TV and wear beautiful clothes, which she did
- [57:03]
Matt Rogers
painted, and we thanked her.
- [57:04]
Monét X Change
She's a stunning individual.
- [57:05]
Bowen Yang
Oh, there's some frames of the show where I'm like, what?
- [57:08]
Monét X Change
And that's her in real life. Yeah, Like, Maura looks like that. Like, Maura, like, she. Like, she has beautiful, gorgeous skin. She wears, like a little. A little. A little BB cream and a mascara baby. And she is, like, looking stunning.
- [57:21]
Matt Rogers
They should do a whatcha pack in for the traders.
- [57:23]
Monét X Change
Oh, that'll be good.
- [57:25]
Bowen Yang
Michelle massage in there.
- [57:27]
Monét X Change
Well, you know, they reach out to a little birdie told me they've reached out to, like some people do to the show. But a big deterrent is that you. You have to do your own thing. Glam.
- [57:37]
Matt Rogers
But that wasn't an issue for you?
- [57:38]
Monét X Change
No, no, no, not for me, but like, for other people. Like, allegedly, like, they. They've asked me to.
- [57:42]
Bowen Yang
Laura's doing her own glam, honey. Okay, well, that's crazy town. What.
- [57:48]
Monét X Change
What do you think is going on with her hair?
- [57:50]
Matt Rogers
I. I think they're wigs.
- [57:51]
Monét X Change
Thank you.
- [57:52]
Matt Rogers
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [57:52]
Monét X Change
But the white girls on threads were like, mar's not wearing wig. I'm like, you think her hair went from a bob to booty length overnight? They're wigs, girl.
- [58:01]
Bowen Yang
That one hat she had was pretty genius too. All her hats, all her hats, everything she's weari. I will also shout out. Candace and rinna both looked incredible all the time.
- [58:10]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [58:11]
Bowen Yang
I am a little bit like, I kind of can't have Tara and Johnny get, like, voted out immediately because with Candace gone, they are kind of. Now I'm watching why I'm watching Candace leaving. I'm like, she went out in the place of glory. But, like, I really wanted to go to the end. Like, we're at Candace house.
- [58:26]
Matt Rogers
We're team Candace.
- [58:27]
Bowen Yang
Drive back one record of the year at the culture awards.
- [58:29]
Monét X Change
Here's the thing about Candace, right?
- [58:31]
Bowen Yang
Does she come for you?
- [58:32]
Monét X Change
So. So when we had the thing and like, Alan chose the traitors, I was like, in my mind, I was like, I know. I just knew. I just said to myself, I said, I know. Colton, Natalie, jam Jam, Portia and Candace. I was like, those five, those are faithfuls. I just feel it. I just know that they are. Because in this show, people are like, well, you can't trust I'm like, in that game, if you don't trust people, you have nothing. You have to trust something. Right.
- [58:53]
Bowen Yang
You go with your gut, and you
- [58:54]
Matt Rogers
have to go with your gut.
- [58:54]
Bowen Yang
You have to play an honest game based on that.
- [58:56]
Monét X Change
Exactly. So I trusted Candace, and I had said to her in the bar, I brought her into the bar. No one was there. I was like, candace, look, I don't know if you were faithful. I don't know if you're a traitor. You don't know if I'm a faithful. You don't know if I'm a traitor. But I'll tell you this. If I'm a faithful, I will never bring your name up at the round table. And if I'm a traitor, I will never say your name to Turk. I just trust you. I want to go to the end of the game with you.
- [59:15]
Matt Rogers
Great strategy.
- [59:16]
Monét X Change
She's like, I got you. You said, me too. The next day when I was in the challenge and I said, girl, I think Lisa might be a traitor.
- [59:22]
Bowen Yang
Fuck you did.
- [59:23]
Monét X Change
I said that to her. But the thing is that these little passing conversations, like, you don't think anything of it. It's just literally like, a girl, I think Lisa's a traitor. It was literally that quick.
- [59:31]
Bowen Yang
And that could just be.
- [59:32]
Monét X Change
And that's the thing that gets you out. So she told Lisa that night. But I think her. Her flaw there was that Candace was not arming herself with enough allies outside of the turret.
- [59:41]
Matt Rogers
It was. The winning strategy for Ceri season one was that she had so many allies.
- [59:46]
Monét X Change
Exactly.
- [59:46]
Bowen Yang
And Rob is playing with.
- [59:47]
Monét X Change
Rob is doing that. Rob has so many allies outside the turret, so he doesn't have to. He doesn't have to trust Lisa Arkandis because he has an entire cast of people that he. That. That he knows that will never write his name down.
- [59:57]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [59:57]
Bowen Yang
And also he has the benefit of being on the right side of two traitor's votes. I honestly. So this last episode just. It's Kristen Kish questioning Eric, and she's like, I feel like there's something weird with Eric. And she tells Rob. I'm like, if I'm Rob, I. Because they have the option to vote out Chris to murder Kristen, I murder Natalie, let Kristen keep spinning on Eric, and then turn around, be like, you're right, it is Eric. And then you vote out three traitors, then no one in the house thinks it's Rob.
- [60:27]
Monét X Change
Yeah, that's.
- [60:27]
Bowen Yang
I think Rob, if he plays this next episode well, and we'll be a little behind in when this releases has it sewn up. Rob is so.
- [60:35]
Matt Rogers
He's excellent.
- [60:36]
Monét X Change
Well, he was so quiet. I think he was so quiet.
- [60:39]
Bowen Yang
Producers are laughing at me. It's.
- [60:41]
Matt Rogers
And I don't even.
- [60:42]
Bowen Yang
I'm not even crazy about wanting to. Him.
- [60:44]
Matt Rogers
Yeah, that's what it's about.
- [60:46]
Monét X Change
I think Eric's cute. Here's the thing. Like, I'm like, rob is cute. I'm like. But I am not on the. Oh, my God, people. Like, Rob is so hot. Just give me. I'm like, he's cute.
- [60:54]
Bowen Yang
I think he's incredible to look at. I'm not like, whoa, falling.
- [60:58]
Monét X Change
You know? Exactly. Yeah, yeah. It's not that funny. Well, he's. He's a very sweet guy, though. He's. And he was so quiet. I was like, I just. Is this Alabama or is this just homeschooled? I didn't realize, like, why he was just.
- [61:10]
Bowen Yang
I thought he just homeschooled.
- [61:12]
Monét X Change
You know what I mean? And I was only there for, what, five episodes? So. And I. With my time there, I thought. I trusted him, too. I was like, oh, I think. I think Rob is a faithful.
- [61:20]
Bowen Yang
You never. He never crossed your mind?
- [61:21]
Monét X Change
No, not at all. When they revealed that little digital content afterwards, and I was like, rob, I knew Lisa. And I was shocked by Robin.
- [61:29]
Bowen Yang
Candace, you knew Lisa?
- [61:30]
Monét X Change
Yeah, I knew Lisa. Her after that murder in the thing, which she told me, told Caroline, no, you won't see me at Bravocon, whatever it was.
- [61:38]
Matt Rogers
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [61:39]
Monét X Change
And that next morning, we asked her to explain the thing. She was so obviously just picking it out of her ass.
- [61:44]
Bowen Yang
Well, literally, there's a tree. The mask is black.
- [61:53]
Monét X Change
Black, Exactly. So I was like, girl, like, come on. So that was when I was like, oh, Lisa's a traitor for sure.
- [61:58]
Bowen Yang
I said it to Candace, and what a guy.
- [62:00]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [62:00]
Bowen Yang
But it was so good to be a traitor.
- [62:02]
Monét X Change
So good.
- [62:03]
Nancy Glass
You.
- [62:03]
Monét X Change
You.
- [62:03]
Matt Rogers
You got out being right, which must feel good.
- [62:06]
Monét X Change
Yeah, it did. But no, because you do not get a round table. I would rather be managed so I can fight for my life.
- [62:11]
Bowen Yang
So you can get, like, the drama of being persecuted.
- [62:15]
Monét X Change
Like, I want to. Like, I want to curse everybody out before they, like, kick me out of me. I, like, I want to fight for myself, you know?
- [62:20]
Matt Rogers
You want a tribal council?
- [62:20]
Monét X Change
Yeah, exactly.
- [62:22]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [62:22]
Monét X Change
Yes, exactly.
- [62:23]
Bowen Yang
You know who had a really good one last season? Sierra Miller. Miller. She was just like, you guys. She went down like a bad bitch. Like, she really, really was good.
- [62:32]
Matt Rogers
Have you.
- [62:32]
Bowen Yang
Are you guys watching. Do you watch Summer House?
- [62:34]
Monét X Change
No.
- [62:34]
Bowen Yang
Have you watched Summer House?
- [62:35]
Monét X Change
No. Summer House.
- [62:36]
Bowen Yang
It's a thick season, and she's on it, and she's. She's having an amazing season. Like, she's. She's really good. Reality.
- [62:43]
Monét X Change
What is the purpose of the summer house?
- [62:45]
Bowen Yang
Kind of just, you know, we're partying.
- [62:47]
Monét X Change
Okay, that's it.
- [62:48]
Matt Rogers
You.
- [62:48]
Monét X Change
You.
- [62:48]
Matt Rogers
You see them go back to the city during the week, and they're doing their little day jobs, and then it's every weekend they go to the summer.
- [62:54]
Monét X Change
Okay, got it. Wait, so you have to answer the question. So. So you're on the. On the fence. You would.
- [62:59]
Matt Rogers
I'm on the fence. I'm on the fence. Would.
- [63:02]
Bowen Yang
You know why?
- [63:03]
Matt Rogers
Because. Because I had to say no. Because I was shooting a movie.
- [63:05]
Monét X Change
Got it.
- [63:06]
Matt Rogers
So I couldn't do it that season.
- [63:07]
Bowen Yang
I just. You know what? I'm not a no.
- [63:10]
Monét X Change
Okay.
- [63:11]
Bowen Yang
I'm not.
- [63:11]
Matt Rogers
I'm not a no. I'm not a no.
- [63:12]
Bowen Yang
They've also. Also, it would be hard to do it with certain people, because the thing is, like, if we went in together,
- [63:18]
Matt Rogers
I feel like that's a Johnny and Tara situation.
- [63:20]
Monét X Change
Oh, yeah, for sure. But, I mean, everyone will know that y' all are best friends.
- [63:23]
Bowen Yang
I know. That's the thing is we would not be able to.
- [63:24]
Monét X Change
There's no way.
- [63:25]
Bowen Yang
Oh, I'm not talking about. Because I don't want them to know. We're very close.
- [63:31]
Monét X Change
Like, the entire world would know. Y' all could not hide that.
- [63:33]
Matt Rogers
No, we can't.
- [63:33]
Monét X Change
We can't. But I think. But I think they're still like, could you imagine Tiffany New York Pollard in this?
- [63:38]
Matt Rogers
That's what I've been waiting for.
- [63:40]
Bowen Yang
What is the big idea?
- [63:41]
Monét X Change
I think she every. Cause she's done every season of House of Villains and they filmed at the same time.
- [63:46]
Bowen Yang
See, whoever is managing her in this regard needs Toss the house of. It's no shade to the House of Villains.
- [63:51]
Monét X Change
No shade. But Traders is a bigger show.
- [63:54]
Bowen Yang
Traders would.
- [63:54]
Monét X Change
And we need her.
- [63:55]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [63:56]
Bowen Yang
It would cause a commotion.
- [63:57]
Monét X Change
It would be Tiffany New York.
- [64:01]
Bowen Yang
Bring Gemma back. Gemma and Tiffany.
- [64:04]
Monét X Change
We always need just one Brit. Just up in the castle. Bring Gemma Collins, please.
- [64:09]
Bowen Yang
What? What you have to imagine, there is a list with these names on it.
- [64:12]
Monét X Change
I'm sure, like, Nene Leaks needs to be at the wrong. Nene Leaks has given us reality TV gold monologue. I feel every. Have you ever seen Celebrity Apprentice with
- [64:20]
Matt Rogers
Nene Leakes on it?
- [64:21]
Bowen Yang
Yes, of course.
- [64:21]
Matt Rogers
Where she was bullying Latoya Jackson.
- [64:23]
Monét X Change
Latoya Jackson at one time. She's literally standing over her and she's like, she's like, latoya, I go back act your age and not 12. And then Latoya looks at her and goes, all you have over me is height. You just have height. All you have is height. With a th. You just have height.
- [64:37]
Matt Rogers
You just have height. And was there a whole moment where Nene was like, bye ghost.
- [64:41]
Monét X Change
Bye ghost. By ghost. She was saying, bye Casper.
- [64:44]
Matt Rogers
Bye Casper.
- [64:45]
Monét X Change
Boo.
- [64:45]
Bowen Yang
She was saying boo to a ghost.
- [64:47]
Matt Rogers
Which doesn't really make sense.
- [64:48]
Bowen Yang
Boo. Boo. No. Was and remains and remains remains a legend. And it made me so happy. It's very much. I do think so, honey to me that they figured it out so that she can come back. Because if you're going to do retrospectives.
- [65:04]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [65:05]
Bowen Yang
And it's within reason. Cuz for some people out there, I don't think it's within reason. But I'm so thrilled that it was within reason for Nene and Andy to come back together and for people like to get what they need so that
- [65:18]
Monét X Change
this can all happen 100%. Which. Which means she's in good grace with Peacock. Peacock. Those traitors.
- [65:23]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [65:24]
Monét X Change
So I'm like cross my fingers if we get any leaks on traitors at some point.
- [65:27]
Matt Rogers
Of course we. But the glam part, I was just gonna say me.
- [65:31]
Monét X Change
I think Ninia's an. I'm not doing my own glam or shit to do.
- [65:33]
Bowen Yang
You don't think an exception could be made? You've been on the nc.
- [65:36]
Monét X Change
Oh no, they're not. Let me tell you something. That show, they care so much about the integrity of the game. They do not play everything is in secrecy. And they make sure that you are really having the real experience. They don't fucking around.
- [65:49]
Bowen Yang
You tell.
- [65:49]
Matt Rogers
You can tell because the way you guys are. Treat it like someone's been killed. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [65:55]
Monét X Change
And like I used to watch a show and like these. These celebrities need to get alive, girl. No one's really dying. Everyone calm down, girl. After the. After Portia I was like, we should have a eulogy.
- [66:03]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [66:04]
Monét X Change
I was like, this is really sad.
- [66:05]
Matt Rogers
No.
- [66:05]
Bowen Yang
Because you believe the reality that you're in. And by the way, like they do an amazing job of creating atmosphere. And Alan is so can you talk about like how it feels to have his theater in those moments?
- [66:18]
Monét X Change
Yes. So thank you for saying that. Alan is really. I mean he's a theater actor. Like Alan.
- [66:23]
Bowen Yang
This is.
- [66:24]
Monét X Change
Alan's back. Allen is doing his thing. Alan is. He's so grand and so major and he's so presentational in everything he does. When you walk into that roundtable. You walk in there and they play the Hanging Tree from.
- [66:36]
Bowen Yang
From the fucking Hunger Games.
- [66:38]
Monét X Change
From the Hunger Games.
- [66:39]
Bowen Yang
Wow.
- [66:39]
Monét X Change
Cause it just sets the mood. It sets the vibe. And you're like, oh, shit. We all sit there in silence and we'll listen to the song through. Then Alan comes in, he gives his speech, and they let you go and you just go. And it's always like, who's gonna talk first? Who's gonna speak first? Cause it's like, it's nerve wracking. It's nerve wracking. And then someone breaks the silence. They do it. And we're going at it for like an hour, an hour and hour 15. It's a long ass time. And it's edit down to like 10 minutes.
- [67:05]
Bowen Yang
And how intense does it get? Like emotionally? Like, do you feel like it's captured on the screen?
- [67:11]
Monét X Change
Oh, no, I think it's. I think, I think. No, I think it feels more important. Like the, the really intense one when I was there was when Tiffany was getting banished.
- [67:18]
Matt Rogers
Yeah, that was a lot.
- [67:19]
Bowen Yang
That was such a bummer.
- [67:20]
Monét X Change
Yeah, but it was even more intense. Tiffany was going in. Cause like, she, she, she was going off for a while and then people were going back and forth with her and she was like, listen, I'm here for my son.
- [67:29]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [67:29]
Monét X Change
She was like, she's like, I'm here for my. I'm sending a. I'm sending a. I'm sending an 18 year old black boy to college in, in. In three months. She's like, I'm here for this money. But you know, if y', all, if y' all don't think I'm a. I'm a faithfulness, then send me home.
- [67:40]
Bowen Yang
Send me the fuck home right now.
- [67:41]
Monét X Change
Then he was just sitting there like, oh, wait, I do believe her now. But yeah, I know we still got to go home, bitch.
- [67:47]
Bowen Yang
Bye. So at that point, like, you're still thinking like, I can't stick my neck out.
- [67:52]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [67:52]
Monét X Change
Because I'm like, what? She's just a really good actress.
- [67:54]
Bowen Yang
I know.
- [67:55]
Monét X Change
I was like, I was like, I had this gut feeling that it's her.
- [67:57]
Bowen Yang
You got to go, bitch.
- [67:59]
Monét X Change
Bye.
- [67:59]
Matt Rogers
You got to go. But you know who ruined it? Danielle.
- [68:02]
Monét X Change
Danielle.
- [68:02]
Matt Rogers
Because she swore on her. What, her.
- [68:04]
Monét X Change
Her grandparents.
- [68:07]
Bowen Yang
Yeah, but you know what? I think that's fair. Fair, Fair game.
- [68:09]
Monét X Change
I think it's fair game too.
- [68:10]
Bowen Yang
If I'm gonna break down, bent myself out of shape, and swear on my grandson and I'm lying. And you believe me, I bent myself out of shape.
- [68:19]
Matt Rogers
I'M not.
- [68:20]
Bowen Yang
Not paying for it. I'm the one who did the deal with the devil at that point.
- [68:24]
Matt Rogers
I agree.
- [68:24]
Monét X Change
Also, I miss her. Just over the top, like, campness with someone crying. My favorite was, I think, like, it was towards the end and someone cried and she. Someone got banished and she's there, the hand are shaking.
- [68:34]
Bowen Yang
She's like, people did way too much on her because it was so fun to watch her do that. I'm like. And I also tend to think people are doing too much on everyone because ultimately, at the end of the day, every episode has been so good. And if someone is flopping, that's also part of what makes it good. Like, that's great.
- [68:53]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [68:54]
Matt Rogers
Celebrity UK Traders. Did you watch?
- [68:56]
Monét X Change
Oh, yeah, I did with Alan. Alan Carr. It was a great season. I heard the news. Severe civilian one is. I heard the best.
- [69:03]
Matt Rogers
Great.
- [69:04]
Monét X Change
Oh, yeah.
- [69:04]
Matt Rogers
Ones are amazing because they maybe they
- [69:06]
Monét X Change
want that coin and then they want
- [69:10]
Matt Rogers
the most random job. Like the clairvoyant.
- [69:12]
Bowen Yang
Season two was truly out of this world. But this, I think season one of Australia, my favorite Traders, like season one of Australia, because season two of Australia, it really went off the rails. But season one of Australia and I, I think, like, honestly, every season of UK Traders.
- [69:31]
Monét X Change
Oh, every season they're gonna like, I never watched a New Zealand one. Cuz I was like, we're in like an Airbnb. What is this? I was like, this is someone's. Someone's summer house. I'm like, this is an eventful or. And I. I'm not watching that.
- [69:43]
Bowen Yang
And you're a Survivor girly.
- [69:44]
Monét X Change
Survivor girly.
- [69:45]
Matt Rogers
You brought. You were the first person to bring Survivor into Drag Race.
- [69:47]
Bowen Yang
I feel.
- [69:47]
Monét X Change
Yes, yes. I wanted to. I want to play that game. And I did that little influencer island they did this past summer, which was fun.
- [69:54]
Matt Rogers
36 hours.
- [69:55]
Monét X Change
Yes. And I was like, you know what? They're gonna be nice to us. They're not gonna be that crazy, baby. It was the real experience.
- [70:03]
Matt Rogers
Wow.
- [70:03]
Monét X Change
We were really out there on that beach.
- [70:06]
Bowen Yang
Cold.
- [70:07]
Monét X Change
Cold. It rained on us from 3pm until like 6am the next morning. And I was like, surely it's like a health hazard. Like, they can't do this. And they're like, oh, no. Y' all gonna sit out here. Just us and one cameraman on this beach. It was insane.
- [70:20]
Bowen Yang
Could you do the show?
- [70:23]
Matt Rogers
Not after the rain.
- [70:25]
Bowen Yang
It's hard to be cold.
- [70:26]
Monét X Change
It's hard to be cold.
- [70:28]
Bowen Yang
I mean, I wouldn't do it.
- [70:30]
Monét X Change
I think I would, though. I love Survivor so much, though.
- [70:33]
Bowen Yang
You get the opportunity to do it.
- [70:34]
Monét X Change
I'm like, you know what? Just. What's carpe diem?
- [70:38]
Matt Rogers
Yeah, carpe diem.
- [70:41]
Bowen Yang
But not Mike White just getting back from doing his second season and then came back and full on wrote White Lotus, and, like, they're casting it, and I'm like, how do you have the capacity to go do season 50 and then come back and fully crank out
- [70:55]
Matt Rogers
the biggest show on tv?
- [70:56]
Bowen Yang
And now it's going and, like, I don't know, like, it'll suffer because of it. Word on the street is it's going to be a really good season.
- [71:04]
Monét X Change
I heard. I hope so, because, you know, these. You know, there's a lot. Y' all are big Survivor fans.
- [71:08]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [71:08]
Monét X Change
There's a lot of, you know, the fans do not, like, necessarily like the new era, so I'm hoping with bringing back majority old era players, we'll get more of that game gameplay.
- [71:17]
Matt Rogers
It's merging. It's merging all of it. Right. It's like. It really is like, a beautiful cross section of, like, the entire history of the show. That's what it feels like.
- [71:25]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [71:25]
Bowen Yang
Yeah. I mean, they certainly got from season one to season 49, like, Ms. Jenna from Borneo the first season. Jenna Lewis, she's, like, the biggest veteran. And then obviously, Colby is back. I'm still not over it that they don't have Jerry Manthy on that beach.
- [71:40]
Monét X Change
Jerry's not back for. That's nice.
- [71:42]
Bowen Yang
And even Colby now is doing press, being like, I'm not even gonna lie. Like, I got there because it's his actual first season without doing, because they
- [71:50]
Monét X Change
did Heroes and Villains together.
- [71:51]
Bowen Yang
Heroes and Villains and the first All Stars and Australian Outback. So he was like, hit the beach for the fourth time. She wasn't there. Not gonna lie. She deserved to be there. And, like, apparently he said in a recent interview, a lot of what they didn't show in season 20, Heroes vs. Villains, was Jerry and Colby going off to fish together and actually forming a relationship, a friendship, like, just genuinely being like, let's do something together.
- [72:15]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [72:16]
Bowen Yang
And he said that their history, like, actually moved forward. So he said, had she been on the beach for 50, I would have been like, let's play together.
- [72:24]
Monét X Change
Let's play together this time.
- [72:24]
Bowen Yang
And how fun would that have been?
- [72:26]
Monét X Change
As a fan, the show would have been delicious to watch. One thing I will say about Jeff Probst is that that man, you know, you know, from Drag Race and other shows, like, a lot of times the hosts, they have the earpiece in and they're getting fed stuff. And Jeff refuses to wear the earpiece.
- [72:41]
Matt Rogers
Raw dogging.
- [72:42]
Monét X Change
He raw dogs, the whole thing. He is looking up, talking, like, getting information on every character. When he does those call outs, like, so, Matt, so you. You worked at a clamshack. How. How is that? Someone's a survivor. You like, he knows.
- [72:52]
Bowen Yang
And I go into a torrid affair explanation like, well, I was vulnerable.
- [72:57]
Monét X Change
He goes into detail on all. Every and everyone. He's doing that from his brain. He's not getting fed by producers. He loves that show so much. When you are learning the challenge, Jeff is running you through the challenge. It's not a. Not a. Not a challenge producer.
- [73:09]
Matt Rogers
Right.
- [73:09]
Monét X Change
Jeff is coming in, like, running, okay, you're gonna grab the snake and blah, blah, blah. Like, he's like, so in it.
- [73:14]
Matt Rogers
He invented it.
- [73:15]
Monét X Change
Yeah. I was very impressed by that.
- [73:16]
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
- [73:17]
Bowen Yang
He's an icon.
- [73:17]
Matt Rogers
He's an icon. Did you watch Australia versus the World?
- [73:20]
Monét X Change
Yes. Parvati. My girl Parvati.
- [73:23]
Matt Rogers
I thought Ena was applauding.
- [73:25]
Bowen Yang
I actually thought someone left to their feet. I thought someone was, like, actually knowing the tea, which is that. It's.
- [73:31]
Matt Rogers
That. It's. It's that standing over. So good.
- [73:34]
Monét X Change
It's so good.
- [73:34]
Bowen Yang
She killed that, by the way, to see saree come back at Traitor Season 1 and just dominate. And then seeing Parvati dominate Australia outback. Don't forget, s also was dominating up until the very end, just like she did in Micronesia. And serie is back for Survivor season 50. And I am praying.
- [73:53]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [73:54]
Bowen Yang
That it goes well. I don't know how it could. Because they're going to see her and be like, yeah, biggest.
- [73:59]
Monét X Change
You got to go. Yeah, she's a threat. S a threat girl. She's a threat. She's such good gameplay.
- [74:03]
Bowen Yang
And she also, like, you know that every fan in the world is going to be on her side 100%. If you do care at all about the edit, better to just get her out really quick so that she can't get to the end. And then you be the one looking at Sere at the end being like, sorry, I have to try to be you. Everyone in the world rooting against you.
- [74:19]
Monét X Change
Yeah. No, Sere is.
- [74:20]
Matt Rogers
She.
- [74:21]
Monét X Change
She's go. She's. And I. I met her a few times in person. She is so sweet.
- [74:24]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [74:25]
Monét X Change
Just a kind. Just a kind nurse.
- [74:27]
Matt Rogers
She was working the hospitals during COVID Yeah.
- [74:30]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [74:31]
Matt Rogers
Crazy.
- [74:31]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [74:32]
Matt Rogers
We'd be remiss not to ask you about drag Race. I don't know. You and Bob are doing the watches, the watchery wow. What are your thoughts so far?
- [74:38]
Monét X Change
I think the season is going very well.
- [74:39]
Matt Rogers
I like it.
- [74:40]
Monét X Change
I like the girls a lot. I like that the median age is not 21 anymore. Getting girls in their 30s. Yeah. And yeah. You know, Drag Race is what it is. I think fans who watch Drag Race and expecting something different, I'm like, it's the same producer. Same. Like what? Like it's the same show.
- [74:53]
Matt Rogers
It's comfort viewing.
- [74:53]
Monét X Change
It's exactly. It's comfort viewing. We know we're going to get a Snatch Game. We know we're going to get designs. Like it's going to like. It just is what it is. People get frustrated. Like, why don't they? I'm like, it is. This is what it is.
- [75:03]
Matt Rogers
Exactly.
- [75:04]
Monét X Change
But I'm enjoying it.
- [75:05]
Matt Rogers
I can't believe there was a. They made Jan Sport whittle her name down to Jan because they were fearing a loss, but they let Sierra Mist keeper. Oh, cuz I guess Sierra Mist doesn't exist.
- [75:13]
Monét X Change
They know they don't exist anymore.
- [75:14]
Bowen Yang
What they don't.
- [75:15]
Monét X Change
She also. Yeah.
- [75:18]
Bowen Yang
Is no more.
- [75:21]
Matt Rogers
I just answered my own question.
- [75:22]
Bowen Yang
How do we get Jan Sport out of business?
- [75:23]
Monét X Change
I don't know Differently too. So maybe that's the thing too. Cuz here I miss was S I E R. She spells are like one, two step.
- [75:32]
Bowen Yang
Yeah. One, two step. It's actually rural culture. Number 15 wondersteps. Sierra the best. Sierra.
- [75:41]
Matt Rogers
I. Mia Starr is my favorite.
- [75:43]
Monét X Change
Mia Starr. I like her too.
- [75:45]
Matt Rogers
I like Mia. I just. I like the Dions. The Dions?
- [75:47]
Monét X Change
Yeah, the Dions. Juicy and Athena.
- [75:49]
Matt Rogers
Juicy and Athena. I do like Dede because she's a Denver girl.
- [75:51]
Monét X Change
Okay.
- [75:52]
Bowen Yang
I think the most memorable thing about the whole thing is watching Discord Adams walk.
- [75:56]
Matt Rogers
Of course. Of course. That walk is good.
- [75:58]
Bowen Yang
The walk is so good for me. Yeah.
- [76:01]
Monét X Change
And a lot of people are turning on Jane Donald, which I like her.
- [76:04]
Matt Rogers
Why?
- [76:05]
Monét X Change
Because she seems a little perturbed. In all of her interviews, she's always like, kind of like mean mugging and like rolling her eyes like these girls. So I think people are getting the vibe like she feels like she's better than the competition, which, I mean, to be honest, she is very funny. Her runways are incredible. Great runways. And so she's like killing it. So. But people always. I don't know, it's weird. Sometimes people really love, like the one that's like, shining above everyone, like Sasha Colby, of course, Jinkx, Monsoon, et cetera. But then you have someone like Jane who's doing a good job, but people are like, ugh. No, not her though.
- [76:34]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [76:35]
Monét X Change
I don't know why.
- [76:35]
Bowen Yang
Maybe it does have to do with, like, the energy that she brings to it. Like, that gets reflected back.
- [76:39]
Monét X Change
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [76:40]
Matt Rogers
Interesting.
- [76:41]
Bowen Yang
I'm a Kenya pleaser fan.
- [76:42]
Monét X Change
Of course she has nothing more to offer.
- [76:44]
Matt Rogers
She has to go home, I think, didn't she? No, no.
- [76:48]
Monét X Change
She was saved by the Raider Queen.
- [76:49]
Bowen Yang
She was saved by the Raider Queen.
- [76:51]
Monét X Change
Yeah. Love Kenya too, but she has nothing else to give. Not great runways, does it? You don't know how to lip sync. You don't know the words to your own song.
- [76:58]
Bowen Yang
Yeah, that's insane to me that in the year of our Lord 2026, you kind of have to go up there and know the words to your song.
- [77:05]
Monét X Change
At least to your song. You were one of the vocals to a few weeks ago. Like, what? That was insane.
- [77:11]
Matt Rogers
In an unpadded room.
- [77:14]
Bowen Yang
You know what I mean?
- [77:15]
Matt Rogers
Wait, when was the last time you lip synced? Lip sync.
- [77:17]
Monét X Change
Okay, so it had been a while.
- [77:19]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [77:19]
Monét X Change
But, you know, every once a year I try to do a show at my. I used to do my Wonder Woman show on Saturdays at Hardware. Just a good old nasty drag.
- [77:29]
Bowen Yang
Hard drag.
- [77:30]
Monét X Change
Exactly. Hard drag. Show me doing an opening number to the Gospel Truth from Hercules, doing like three or four lip sync numbers, then doing the drag suicide at the end. So I did that like two weeks ago at Hardware and it was.
- [77:41]
Bowen Yang
How did the drag suicide go?
- [77:43]
Monét X Change
Oh, it was great. It was great. It was so good. And like. And I, I, I, I will never, ever not want to do a show like that. Like, because now I, I don't really get to do shows like that ever. Coming back once a year to New York and just doing it, the bar was packed up to the front door and it was just a great time. I had a great time.
- [77:58]
Bowen Yang
We need to bring back those times. Honestly, it, it's bumming me out to know that so much happens online.
- [78:04]
Matt Rogers
Like, I remember comedy is. That's how comedy is, you know, it's for sure.
- [78:07]
Bowen Yang
How come? I mean, like all community driven activities, whether it's like watching drag, going to see comedy, etc. It's just you have to be in rooms. You really said earlier, like, you have to learn from each other what feels good. I agree with, like, I really think it's important and I think I get really bummed out. Maybe because it's this time of year, it's very cold, we all feel extra inside. And so I think we're extra on our phones. But especially with everything going on the Way it's been going on, like, it's all very isolating. And just to hear you were out there doing a show. I don't know. We have to be in rooms.
- [78:41]
Monét X Change
Oh, no, for sure. We have to be in rooms. It was great. The energy was dope. And then afterwards, I ran back to my hotel, I changed and I went to go see Fred again. I did Molly until 4:00 in the morning.
- [78:49]
Bowen Yang
So I was like a mass.
- [78:50]
Matt Rogers
Fred again?
- [78:50]
Bowen Yang
How was Fred again?
- [78:51]
Monét X Change
Oh, so good. Was that that new venue in Queens? It's like a studio. It's like a soundstage they make into a performance hall.
- [78:59]
Bowen Yang
Wait, are you a Coachella person?
- [79:01]
Monét X Change
I've never been.
- [79:01]
Bowen Yang
You've never been?
- [79:02]
Monét X Change
And I got jealous when I saw y' all there.
- [79:04]
Bowen Yang
You know what?
- [79:05]
Matt Rogers
Come with us.
- [79:05]
Bowen Yang
He had never been till last year. He got obsessed with like really going three years in a row. I did not think I was going
- [79:11]
Matt Rogers
to be this kind of person either.
- [79:12]
Bowen Yang
You really can cross your arms at it.
- [79:14]
Matt Rogers
Yes, I understand.
- [79:14]
Bowen Yang
I was.
- [79:15]
Matt Rogers
I was you one self protecting. It was you once.
- [79:18]
Monét X Change
Okay, maybe I'll try it. I'll just. Like, everyone who describes Coachella, they make it sound like it's such a to do. Like, they make it sound. It's like Burning Man. You have to like.
- [79:26]
Bowen Yang
There is so much good real music though.
- [79:29]
Matt Rogers
Like, once you get over the logistics, which there is a lot of that once. Once you're like in. You're like, this is great. Truly, genuinely, like wonderful.
- [79:38]
Monét X Change
Okay.
- [79:38]
Bowen Yang
But you're gonna see something special.
- [79:39]
Matt Rogers
It builders is your cynicism in a way that you're like, oh, look, there's like, sure, like I'm on a little bit of shrooms, but like there's like a kid there, like dancing a yoga gabba. Like, it's. It's sweet.
- [79:48]
Monét X Change
Okay. You know what I mean? I said cynicism and I heard synesthesia. I'm like, wait, you can see colors? Literally. I was like, so fair.
- [79:55]
Bowen Yang
I'll never forget. Like, it was two years ago. Like, there was a day that was just really, really, really, like, hot. Like, I walked by and there was this huge young singer singing this song called the Hardest Part. And it was Olivia Dean. And I was like, remember her?
- [80:08]
Matt Rogers
Oh.

Bowen Yang
So I was like, you can see. And we saw Victoria Monet. That show was sick. This was after she had won best new artist and stuff. So she was kind of popping off. But Chapel Roan, the show that made her launch, like we were watching.
- [80:20]
Monét X Change
Oh, it was Coachella.
- [80:21]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [80:22]
Bowen Yang
You can see some really Cool stuff. About a year, two years in advance at Coachella. During the day at those smaller tents. Like I said, I really like just seeing who's around, just going where there's energy. Like, some people will just, we're all going to go see this and it'll be someone I've never heard of. And I'll go there and be like, oh, I feel like I was able to catch a vibe there. Again, it's being in rooms. These are all outdoor tents. That's why I like it.
- [80:46]
Monét X Change
Okay, maybe I'll try it this year then. Wait, who's headline?
- [80:49]
Matt Rogers
Do we know who's Carol G? Justin Bieber.
- [80:51]
Monét X Change
Okay.
- [80:52]
Matt Rogers
Yeah. So cat's eyes thrown in there. It's a good variety of genres.
- [80:56]
Monét X Change
Yeah, it's gonna be acl. The only festival I've ever been to was acl.
- [80:58]
Matt Rogers
Cute.
- [80:59]
Bowen Yang
Austin City Limits. I always get jealous. They always have great.
- [81:01]
Monét X Change
It was great. And that was. That's. That's when I met Sza for the first time. And I, like, I met her. I was like on my flight. I was like, leaving LA to fly to Austin just to go see her. Love my girl. It was before SOS that came out. So it was after Control, but she had some singles, like, whatever. And then so I'm like, I'm on my flight. I got. I was. I was sitting in seat 1B and I'm like sitting there just on my phone. It was. They had the good WI Fi.
- [81:27]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [81:27]
Monét X Change
So I'm on Instagram and I'm looking at stories. And then I get to her stories randomly. I'm like, oh, boom, boom, boom. I was like, she's. Yeah, wait, that was like a doll. I was like, I saw someone with the outfit on, bitch. I look back and she is in seat 3C on the aisle, like two seats behind me. And I was like, oh, my God. So I text Patty, my sister. I was like, patty, Patty, scissors on my flight. And he was like, go say. I was like, what? Can't say hi to her, of course. And he's like, monet just. I was like, no, I'm not doing that, girl. That's still on normal. I'm not gonna do that. So we land, I get off the jet bridge. I was like, you know what? I should say hi. I was like, let me just wait here at the end of the jetbridge, like by the ticket counter. Let me just say hi. So she comes off and then I go, hey, I don't wanna bother you. I'm coming here to acl. My name is Monet, I'm a huge fan of yours. I'm so excited to see you this weekend. She was like, me and my team knew that was you. She was like, oh, my God, we love you. I was like, you love me? I was like, I love you.
- [82:19]
Bowen Yang
Of course she knew, Monet.
- [82:21]
Monét X Change
I was like, shut up. I was like, no.
- [82:22]
Nancy Glass
Why?
- [82:22]
Monét X Change
Why would she know that? You know what I mean? I was so gagged. I was like, I'm a huge fan. I was like, I'm just so excited to see you. She's like, well, do you have tickets? I was like, yeah, I have tickets already. She's like, well, take my sister's number, and she will, like, make sure that you guys have, like, a nice, private space to watch it. And I was like, okay, great to get the number. And then I leave to go to baggage claim. I waited for my bag. Her and her sister walk over to me. She's like, just so you know, who you texting? This is my assistant here. And they were talking about, like, being both from the East Coast. Cause she's from Jersey. I was like, I'm from New York. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Because I didn't want it to get awkward. I was like, oh, I got my stuff. Now I'll leave. Didn't have my bags, but I just didn't want to say anything weird. So I just, like, dipped out, waited for her to get her bags, and went back to get my bags on the face.
- [83:03]
Bowen Yang
Monet.
- [83:03]
Monét X Change
I didn't want to. I was like, let me just leave it. I don't want to do weird.
- [83:07]
Bowen Yang
It's like when you reach a point where you're like, I can only mess this up.
- [83:10]
Monét X Change
Exactly. That was the energy. I was like, let me walk away and just wait till she leaves and then get my shit. But she was literally the nicest. So nice.
- [83:19]
Bowen Yang
You get that vibe from her. Like, so sweet. Bowen has such a funny interaction.
- [83:23]
Matt Rogers
Oh, I just. I just went up to her when she was at snl. This was like, right before SOS came. Came out. And I was like, you are. We did promos together with Kiki. I was there when they first met, but I was there, and I was like. I looked at her. I. I've said this since control. I was like, you are our generation's Joni Mitchell. And then she went. She went wide. And she was like, oh, you like me.
- [83:44]
Bowen Yang
You like me.
- [83:46]
Monét X Change
That is so accurate, though. It is.
- [83:48]
Matt Rogers
It's. It's. It's her.
- [83:49]
Monét X Change
Yeah, it's her.
- [83:50]
Matt Rogers
That confessional shit.
- [83:51]
Monét X Change
Yeah, it's so good.
- [83:52]
Bowen Yang
And also effort. Like, I feel like everyone just like, you know, celebrates the pen. Celebrates the pen. Celebrates the pen. Her voice is so easy. 100 like, her voice is so easy. She's so musical. She's always like. It's just like her voice is in her brain.
- [84:09]
Monét X Change
Yes.
- [84:09]
Bowen Yang
You know what I mean? It's like you feel her thoughts as she sings. She's literally a thoughtful singer. I say the same thing about, like Sarah Barrella sometimes where it's like I feel like they're. You hear how smart they are in their voice.
- [84:21]
Matt Rogers
I agree.
- [84:21]
Monét X Change
Well, also, because you can tell that when she writes, like, sometimes like people like write, they will, like, get the track and they're writing through the track. You can tell Sza is she. She goes home, she does her journaling and she's taking her stories and just like sometimes freestyling it to a beat and just finding what works. I feel like she's a. She's a singer that write. That writes like a rapper. And I'm obsessed with her. Whatever her process is. I'm obsessed with how she's able to fit these fucking soliloquies into like this, like, verse chords, pre hook, whatever, ever. It's dope.
- [84:50]
Bowen Yang
She's the best.
- [84:50]
Monét X Change
So good.
- [84:56]
Matt Rogers

- [85:03]
Bowen Yang
Well, Xfinity WI fi pretty much does exactly that. It's powered by their best, most elite, high performing tech.

Bowen Yang
And have you ever asked yourself, what if my WI fi could keep watch over my kids for me? Well, probably not, because that's a weird thing to ask yourself. But Xfinity WI fi has parenting skills, even if you sometimes forget yours. Xfinity's like, don't worry, I'll monitor the WI fi.
- [85:44]
Matt Rogers
It's completely proactive. Fixing issues before they even happen. Bottom line, Xfinity is smart and reliable. You deserve the peace of mind of having WI fi that's got your back.
- [85:54]
Bowen Yang
Xfinity. Imagine that.

Bowen Yang
okay. I think it might be time.
- [89:11]
Matt Rogers
It's time.
- [89:11]
Bowen Yang
It's time for. I don't think so, honey. Oh. So this is, of course, that moment when there are three moments, each a minute in length, and they all are, and. I don't think so, honey. A little tantrum on culture. I have something. It's based in a lived experience.
- [89:25]
Matt Rogers
Okay. This is Matt Rogers. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now.
- [89:28]
Bowen Yang
I don't think so, honey. Melatonin. You are demonic. You are diabolical. You're devilish. I wake up in the morning, it's depression. A fourth D. Didn't even mean to do that. I honestly. I have had the most vivid dreams after taking these pills. Also. I've also been on Lexapro, so they've been, like, interacting. I think I am waking up, and I don't know what's real. I had a dream that we wrote a whole film years ago. Years ago, we wrote a whole film, and it was getting success at the Sundance Film Festival. And I was like, I don't think we wrote a film. And they were like, no, you did. You just don't remember it. And I was like, what? And they were like, you're getting acclaim at Sundance. And I woke up and I thought for about 15. Fifteen minutes, like, Bowen and I have a film at Sundance. 15 seconds, because I took two 3 milligram mega milligram gummies of melatonin. And I'm depressed for six hours because I think I'm losing my mind, and also depression. I. Melatonin, no, you take, you don't give.
- [90:29]
Matt Rogers
And that's one minute. You take. You don't give.
- [90:32]
Nancy Glass
You take.
- [90:33]
Bowen Yang
And it's not my first time being in, like, sort of a moment of not feeling great. And then melatonin, you take it to. To help you sleep, and you wake up and things are worse.
- [90:43]
Matt Rogers
Things are worse.
- [90:44]
Bowen Yang
I think melatonin is a deal with the devil. But you can make it like Dwayne Reed.
- [90:49]
Matt Rogers
You can make it Dwight and read if it still exists. The veil was so thin between the world of the dream where we had written a Sundance movie. But you, in the dream were like, you guys are gaslighting. Me. We don't have a movie.
- [91:02]
Bowen Yang
I literally was telling them in the dream. I was like, we didn't do this. They were like, you did. You are getting acclaim. You wrote and directed this film together. And I was trying. And he was directed.
- [91:14]
Monét X Change
Directing.
- [91:15]
Bowen Yang
No, it was like an auteur moment. We were having our auteur moment at the Sundance Film Festival. I swear to God, I lived this. And I woke up and I was like, I can't believe that this thing we did from college or something. Because I started to really believe it. Like, I can't believe we're ever going to clean. This one is so invisible. Which, by the way, passed past what this. This is way past the Sundance Film Festival is now at all. This happened last week while I was in Milan, because I don't know where am. We've been traveling and taking drugs.
- [91:46]
Matt Rogers
Drugs. Someone just told me James Cameron had a dream in middle school that was Avatar.
- [91:54]
Bowen Yang
Oh, my. And then he made.
- [91:56]
Matt Rogers
Is this true?
- [91:58]
Monét X Change
How do we know that's true, though?
- [91:59]
Matt Rogers
We know that's true.
- [92:01]
Monét X Change
Illustrations from high school really.
- [92:03]
Bowen Yang
See, this is what the straight guys behind the camera know. They know that James Camera had an Avatar illustrations.
- [92:09]
Monét X Change
James Cameron is so rich that he invents new technology for every movie of his. I watched those ridiculous. When they have, like, a. A sponge and, like, some mop bristles on their heads and they're like, hey,
- [92:19]
Bowen Yang
hey, I'm a film guy. Do you guys want to know how I think we can go to the bottom of the ocean and film like.
- [92:24]
Monét X Change
And like, they make. They have to invent new technology for his movies. It's insane. It's.
- [92:29]
Bowen Yang
Has anyone seen fire and Ash yet?
- [92:30]
Monét X Change
Yes, you have. I did. Did y' all not see it?
- [92:33]
Bowen Yang
No.
- [92:33]
Monét X Change
It's so good.
- [92:34]
Matt Rogers
And we.
- [92:35]
Bowen Yang
We're like Avatar Hive. We. We really appreciate the French.
- [92:38]
Monét X Change
I mean, in this. In this last one, they really censor Spider.
- [92:41]
Matt Rogers
Spider.
- [92:41]
Monét X Change
And I'm like, okay.
- [92:42]
Bowen Yang
They really sent her to Spiders like spider stories. I forgot the kid's name was Spider.
- [92:49]
Matt Rogers
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
- [92:50]
Bowen Yang
I heard that she was giving everything, though.
- [92:52]
Monét X Change
Oh, who?
- [92:53]
Bowen Yang
Which Miss?
- [92:54]
Monét X Change
Oh, yeah. She was great. She was so good.
- [92:57]
Bowen Yang
I almost called her Ms. Huntress because I feel like that's hunter.
- [93:05]
Matt Rogers
Hunter country, Hunter, contrast.
- [93:07]
Monét X Change
No, she is the villain. She's amazing. I love her. Her acting and just. Oh, it's so good. She's giving her everything.
- [93:15]
Matt Rogers
Okay, I'm watching. That's an edible arrangement.
- [93:18]
Bowen Yang
I'm telling you. I'm seeing Wuthering Heights. I'm seeing Avatar Fire And Ash, I'm seeing the moment and then I'm surely passing the fuck out.
- [93:24]
Matt Rogers
Triple feature.
- [93:25]
Bowen Yang
Okay. Bowen Yang, do you have such a topic?
- [93:27]
Matt Rogers
I do.
- [93:28]
Bowen Yang
Okay. This is Bowen Yang's. I don't think so, honey. And his time starts now.
- [93:32]
Matt Rogers
I don't think so, honey. Orthodontics, Orthodonture. I don't, I don't. I think the desire for straight teeth is like a sham. Right? Like, if I had fucked up teeth, I think I would be a more interesting person. I think straightening my teeth has taken texture away from my personality. I would have had to overcome more if I had a gap tooth. If I, I think. I think orthodontia is maybe the beginnings of a body dysmorphia that is permissible. I don't think it's a gender dysphoria. I think body dysmorphia where you're like, something's wrong with me. I have to correct it rather than accepting it. Now, I just came from the dermatologist and I think that is also. I would not. I would not be as eager to go there and get a laser beamed at my face. I did not suffer as a teenager in a formative time in my life to let someone poke around in my mouth and put metal and rubber bands in it. To give society permission to. And to mess with this, what is already maybe just fine to begin with.
- [94:33]
Bowen Yang
And that is one minute. First of all, you glow, shimmer and more. And second of all, let me see your teeth.
- [94:40]
Monét X Change
You have great teeth and great skin.
- [94:41]
Matt Rogers
I had a Siamese baby tooth.
- [94:43]
Monét X Change
What does that mean?
- [94:44]
Bowen Yang
Talk to more about that.
- [94:45]
Matt Rogers
It was one tooth that rooted as the one and then branched off into two Siamese.
- [94:50]
Monét X Change
Oh, wow.
- [94:51]
Matt Rogers
It's probably not.
- [94:52]
Monét X Change
That is cool.
- [94:52]
Matt Rogers
It's not. It's not the woke thing to say, probably.
- [94:55]
Bowen Yang
I think to the Siamese population, we really.
- [94:58]
Matt Rogers
I had a conjoined tooth and I, I.
- [95:04]
Bowen Yang
We stand with the Siamese.
- [95:05]
Matt Rogers
We stand with the Siamese.
- [95:06]
Monét X Change
And that would be a. That would be a conversation start if you had that for sure.
- [95:11]
Matt Rogers
And now I just. I don't know. I feel like. I feel like I, I should have just left this alone. You know what I mean? Like, you have. You haven't. You are perfect teeth brigade.
- [95:20]
Monét X Change
Well, you know, I wanted to get veneers.
- [95:22]
Matt Rogers
No, don't, don't.
- [95:23]
Monét X Change
So, no. So this was. This is after Invisalign.
- [95:26]
Matt Rogers
Yes.
- [95:27]
Monét X Change
I was in the city. I had my, My lesbian doctor just shout out to Dr. Harrison. I love Dr. Harrison.
- [95:31]
Bowen Yang
Supersonic, lesbian.
- [95:32]
Monét X Change
Supersonic. Lesbian. You just say, yeah, doctor. And then I went to her and I was like, I want to get veneer. She's like, no, you're not. I was like, I want to get veneers. She's like, I can afford it now. She's like, no. She's like, you're going to get Invisalign and you'll be fine. Trust me. And I am happy I got Invisalign.
- [95:46]
Matt Rogers
There you go.
- [95:46]
Bowen Yang
I mean, they look, they're. They're glowing in the dark. Remember that song? Yeah, that was like, a song for, like, us.
- [95:54]
Monét X Change
Well, you know, teeth, like, health is genetic. Because my first, like, up until I was like, I did not start, like, flossing like I should as an adult until I was like, 22. I would, like, go to and eat late at night. Not. But it's because, like, a lot of it is just genetically, like, just. I didn't have to work very hard to maintain my teeth.
- [96:11]
Bowen Yang
I think my teeth are gaining space. Like, I think my teeth are starting to run away. Like, I look at my teeth and I'm like, there's more space between these motherfuckers than I know there was. And I'm going to get to the bottom of it. It's a knives out mystery in my mouth.
- [96:26]
Matt Rogers
Social distancing is over social distance.
- [96:29]
Bowen Yang
Was it Portia that said your titties are social distancing?
- [96:32]
Monét X Change
That's really port. That's.
- [96:34]
Matt Rogers
Yes, she.
- [96:34]
Bowen Yang
She did. She said. She said to someone that their titties were social distancing. And I forget to whom and when it happened.
- [96:43]
Matt Rogers
Atlanta during COVID I think was doing better than other franchises.
- [96:46]
Bowen Yang
During COVID Yes.
- [96:47]
Monét X Change
Fudgeing love. Portia Williams.
- [96:49]
Bowen Yang
There's no bigger icon.
- [96:52]
Monét X Change
I am obsessed with her. She's so funny. She's so.
- [96:54]
Bowen Yang
She was gone right away.
- [96:56]
Monét X Change
I was so mad when I saw Portia with it. I was like, yeah, gags. I get to play with Portia Williams. Obsessed. Portia can do no wrong for me and her ass is insane in real life.
- [97:04]
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
- [97:05]
Matt Rogers
Of.
- [97:05]
Monét X Change
It's a literal show.
- [97:07]
Bowen Yang
Wait, did.
- [97:08]
Matt Rogers
Did people pick up on this on, like, on like Tik Tok or anything? Like, I think her Round Table, where she got banished some. I think it. I think it was more who. Who, like, literally said, who said that? Like, someone said who said that at Portia's Round Table? Go back. Go run it back. Go back and watch episode before I knew the reference. No, but someone says, who said that?
- [97:29]
Monét X Change
Oh, my God, that's so iconic.
- [97:31]
Bowen Yang
So funny.
- [97:33]
Matt Rogers
Watch it.
- [97:34]
Bowen Yang
Porsche and she'll be on the reunion, too, I think this thing that. This road trip that they just did.
- [97:39]
Monét X Change
Oh, yeah, Girls trip thing.
- [97:41]
Bowen Yang
Have you been watching Potomac this year?
- [97:42]
Monét X Change
You know, I've never watched Potomac.
- [97:43]
Matt Rogers
It's good.
- [97:44]
Monét X Change
I heard it's good. I never watched it, though.
- [97:46]
Bowen Yang
It was by far our favorite. Then, like, something did happen. It just got a little weird. And then it's had a really good season.
- [97:53]
Monét X Change
Okay, I'll go back.
- [97:54]
Bowen Yang
Salt Lake City, Potomac. Those are franchises that, when they're on, I'm really in. And usually they. Beverly Hills, but just kind of lost me this year. I don't know why.
- [98:03]
Monét X Change
At least a RIN is not in Beverly Hills anymore.
- [98:04]
Bowen Yang
No, she hasn't been for a few years.
- [98:06]
Monét X Change
Okay. But. But. And on her last season, she was, like, a villain on it, apparently.
- [98:09]
Matt Rogers
Yes, deeply.
- [98:10]
Bowen Yang
Yeah, she was deeply villainized on her last season. And I really think she was having, like, a very hard personal time.
- [98:16]
Monét X Change
Okay.
- [98:16]
Matt Rogers
She was mourning.
- [98:17]
Bowen Yang
She was.
- [98:17]
Matt Rogers
She was. Yeah. She was grieving.
- [98:19]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [98:19]

Matt Rogers
Right.

Monét X Change
She pulls out a picture of a baby. I'm telling y', all, one straight out the pussy. Okay. You know when it's still wrinkly, the eyes are still closed, they're still covered in chlorophyll.

Matt Rogers
And that's one minute. And you're never gonna ask to see a photo.
- [100:04]
Monét X Change
I will not. I will never wait.
- [100:07]
Bowen Yang
Especially not right. Not cooked. Rare babies.
- [100:11]
Monét X Change
Rare babies are rare. This baby's medium rare. Like you just gave birth to Lord Voldemort. Okay, you have to chill.

- [100:28]
Monét X Change
Exactly.
- [100:29]
Bowen Yang
Not the baby.
- [100:30]
Monét X Change
And I had to look at this thing. I had to pretend to be like, oh, my God, that's so nice. Thank you.
- [100:36]
Matt Rogers
And so she was basically saying that she was watching season 10 super eight years after or seven years after it aired?
- [100:43]
Monét X Change
No, no, she was watching it in real time when she was. She was watching. She was having a hard pregnancy. And watching Drag Race really helped her out. Comfort. And I guess you showed me a picture of. Of the baby when the baby was born.
- [100:56]
Matt Rogers
Right, Right.
- [100:57]
Monét X Change
But I don't know why I wouldn't see a current updated picture. Like, what is Cynthia doing now?
- [101:03]
Bowen Yang
We need to know what she's grown into.
- [101:05]
Monét X Change
Yeah. What is she growing into?
- [101:06]
Matt Rogers
The way season 10 was eight years ago.
- [101:08]
Bowen Yang
I know.
- [101:08]
Monét X Change
Isn't that crazy? What is time?
- [101:10]
Bowen Yang
Honestly, I think my favorite seasons were 9 and 10.
- [101:14]
Monét X Change
Like, really of all. Drag Race.
- [101:16]
Bowen Yang
Yes.
- [101:17]
Matt Rogers
6, 6, 8, 9, 10.
- [101:19]
Monét X Change
What is it?
- [101:20]
Bowen Yang
What for? The thing is, I liked when it got a little bigger. Too big. Like I. I loved when it was like, trust me. Like, those were the golden age years. Definitely. Like five, six.
- [101:32]
Monét X Change
Yeah.
- [101:33]
Bowen Yang
Like eight was like Truly, like, when it got big, it felt like for community reasons. And then nine, 10, it did have the mainstream moment that I think I really liked watching. Nine, like, the pinnacle of Drag Race, for me, will always and forever be the finale of nine.
- [101:49]
Monét X Change
I mean, it was in the last
- [101:51]
Bowen Yang
few episod episodes of nine. Like, just.
- [101:53]

Bowen Yang
Yeah, like, and anytime a season of reality show, a reality show ends at its climax. Yeah, that's good.
- [102:06]
Monét X Change
Yeah. And also, like, all those, like, earlier seasons were on Logo. Those were, like, the dark days of Drag Race. They paid those with.
- [102:14]
Bowen Yang
They were really being mean and nasty. Were really being broke. Being broke down.
- [102:19]
Monét X Change
They were broken down and tired.
- [102:21]
Bowen Yang
They were awful back then.
- [102:22]
Monét X Change
And also, like, you think back to, like, the early seasons, y', all, season two of Drag Race, there was not even lace fronts. They all had a hard front. There was not. Literally, not a single lace front was on the show. The first lace front to ever be on Drag Race was Manila in season three.
