C
And I'm Monet X Change.
B
And this is Sibling Rivalry. On today's episode, we welcome our favorite dog to the podcast.
C
We watch and react to the pilot episode of Sibling Rivalry.
B
And we found out what made Monet say this.
C
That's so mean, Bob. And we found out what made Bob say this.
B
If the point is to be a little kinky, then I don't see what the problem is. And we find out what made Jacob say this.
D
It's also seven years later. How Swahili Go in.
B
We should hop right in today because we. This is gonna be. I don't even know how we're gonna do this. Cause it's an hour. We're talking.
D
No, no. The pilot's only 30 minutes.
C
Yeah. That's why I could stomach.
B
You don't like our podcast?
C
No.
E
You.
B
I would give you a shout out. You never have a patch of hair. You didn't shave. I have a strip on the side of my head.
F
You do that?
B
I missed. You never have a missing patch. Honestly, it is very impressive.
F
Thank you.
B
You're someone. Even when you lived alone, you didn't have missing patches.
C
I still shave by myself. I don't.
B
You don't have anyone be like, check me out.
C
No.
B
You never, like. Can you give me a once over?
C
No. I do it in the front and the side. I also have a three pan mirror, so I can do that. And then I take my hand mirror and I put my back to it. I can see the whole thing.
B
I have the mirror I'm facing. I face the mirror and then I turn around with a hand mirror. And then I try to hit spot. I'm sitting on the sink.
C
Yeah.
B
Leaning. But my lights are like above the sink. So it gets shadowy. The closer you get to the mirror, the more. The darker it gets. My skin is dark, my hair is dark. So I just. I just. I'm constantly missing chunks so there's my little strip.
C
Your little soul patch.
B
But maybe that's like a look I want to go for.
C
Interesting. I want to give you a shout out.
B
Okay.
C
Thank you for having such lovely snacks and stuff here, but your cans of Red Bull are too big. 20. 20 ounces is a lot.
B
That's not a shout out. That's a criticism.
D
You.
B
You see how I didn't go.
C
It was a sandwich critique.
B
You see how I didn't say, like, you never have missing strips, but to be fair, I have more hair than you. I didn't do that. I just said, you never have missing strips of hair. I just left it at that. I thought it. I thought it. I didn't say it.
C
But that's all I'm critique. I'm like. I feel like you. I feel like you could help yourself out and make your money go longer.
B
Well, I like the I. I like the big.
C
The whole big.
B
Can I drink two a day?
C
Really?
B
You have never seen me on stage. If you've ever seen me on stage, I had at least 20 ounces of red Bull in my system, in my stomach.
F
You.
B
I don't think any of you have ever seen me on stage without 20. At minimum, 20 ounces of red Bull in my body.
C
The one time in KCMO when it was. It was Red Bull on a little something extra. I'll never forget that day. That was crazy.
B
I'm still not convinced you didn't set me up. Shout out to anyone wearing shoes that your best friend ripped in half.
C
How did I set you up?
B
I don't know. I just believe anywhere. The Celsius cans are gigantic.
C
But I think. But how many ounces are in that cane?
F
16.
B
16?
C
That's still less than the Red Bull. The Red Bull, yeah. It's the big one is 20 ounces. I just read it.
B
Really?
C
Yeah, it's 24 ounces.
B
Hey, rebel can is so big.
C
That's what I'm saying.
B
Monsters are. It's a. It's a gallon of liquid.
C
Yeah, you should not be drinking monster like that. That's not great.
B
Today we're gonna be watching and reacting to season one, episode one of the illustrious podcast.
C
The pilot episode. It had 155,000 views seven years ago.
B
This is the longest running R Girl podcast. We have more episodes than what's the Tea? We have more episodes than Race Chaser. We have more episodes than Bald and the Beautiful. We have been the. We are the last one standing.

No, it doesn't. They do hot goss and they do the thing. They do two.
F
They do two.
B
They want to be us so bad.
F
I think.
C
To be fair, I think they started doing two.
D
I think they actually might have. All right,
F
all right.
C
I also want to do more. I need to do my violent episode.
B
Yeah, you do.
C
But she's so mean.
B
Yeah, I'm afraid she is. You set me up with her. No, we agreed on this.
C
We agree to be the mean one,
B
the nice one, the mean one and the nice one.
C
We.
B
We all agreed on this. That we. We're gonna put two mean girls. What do me and Vada gonna do? Yell at each other again?
C
So if I'm not gonna watch the first episode. If you are new here. Bob edited the sound on this. Who did the audio? I mean, who did the. The video?
B
Mitch.
C
Mitch edited the video.
B
So for the first year, we released 13 podcasts. Our first year, we're averaging a little over once a month. I was doing. I was living in Berkeley, California. Marty was living in the Bronx, and I edited all the audio myself. So if you. But back back then, notice how you guys never called me out for my snorting. I edited out every snort.
C
Land.
B
Land, if you're listening. But you guys didn't hear anything. Cause land edited out.
C
You're so ridiculous. Anyways, we're gonna watch this episode. Wait, do we need to do. Do anything for audio or anything?
B
Video edited by Mitch.
F
Our.
B
Our theme song. Original theme song is by Mitch Farino.
C
The new one is by Ms. Farino.
B
Then didn't they remix it?
C
Mix. Mix. Mitch remix.
B
Oh, Mitch remixed it work. So our theme song is by DJ Mitch Farino from New York City, which
C
also did Pulverize my nuts.
B
Please pulverize my nice. Mitch has done a lot of Mitch. Mitch did Purse first. Mitch did Bloodbath. Mitch.
C
Mitch has done Bloodbath back. How many times do I have to ask you?
B
Mitch did clat.
C
I'm a fan of yours.
B
The song.
C
The on song. I've asked for years. And you will. You won't. Oh, you won't. I'm your fan. Do I not get a voice?
B
Yeah, of course you get a voice. Bloodbath was a lot of work, and
C
you can do a lot of work.
B
I feel like I was. Like I was really positioned as a. As a nightlife Producer in New York City. I produced a lot of events. I have never produced a nightlife event in la.
C
But you have the resources to do a really fun party in la. If this is no shade.
B
This sounds like shade. Like if. If what? Please continue.
C
No, because you're already.
B
No. You can't do this to the fans.
C
Can you not be bomb about it and just be ridiculous? You know, if like the Boulevard Brothers can pull. Can do their Halloween party and they're amazing. You can do it too. You're amazing. God. Season 1 Episode 1 let's hit it.
B
Oh yes, I remember that.
D
Oh,
B
the song is so different.
C
So different.
B
Oh, wow.
C
Oh my God, that picture.
B
Me and. Me and Monet.
C
Oh my God, I remember that.
B
This is.
C
This is your number. Gives you a show. Lipstick.
B
That was my dress. That ugly dress that you all hated it. I never thought it was ugly.
C
Hideous.
F
Are you ready? Uh huh.
C
Okay, pause really quick. This, this, this edited sound.
B
Okay, this has a lot to do with where Monet was. Was recording in. In a shipping container. So just so you guys know what. What happened was like a lot of our friendship. To be fair, at the time my company was producing the podcast, but Exactly.
C
It was literally a box.
B
I bought Mon the camera, I bought Monet the microphone. I bought Monet the green screen. I got Monet the headphones.
F
I.
B
You were wearing matching headphones and Monet just showed up.
C
Okay, so. Okay, oh, let's. Oh, I remember this. So then I was like, oh.
B
Cause. Cause I had.
C
I was doing music as well, so I had nice headphones and I was like, well, I have some headphones. Bob was like, no, Monet, we have to have the same ones. I was like, I don't think we have to have the same. He's like, Monet, we.
B
Girl.
C
It was like a.
B
It was like probably an hour long
C
argument about why we have to have the same headphones.
B
The quote's wrong, otherwise I would. Because if it was me, I would have said Monet. So I already know you're misquoting me.
C
I was adamant that we had to have the same headphones. I was like, okay, girl. So. And like he said Bob the Dragon was produ. Like it was a Bob the Dragon production.
B
So I was like, okay, the only production.
C
Sorry. The only production. So I was like, so send me the stuff that you want me as a producer. So don't try to act like you're doing me a favor.
B
You were producing. To be clear, the first year we
C
made not a dollar and we didn't Know that going in.
B
Not a dollar. I spent a lot of effort, money, and time making your career flourish. Wait, continue on.
C
I have a great. Okay, pause. Sorry.
A
Why?
C
Why weren't you in drag? Lazy.
B
No, it's not lazy.
C
Why not?
B
First of all, you were coming for you. First of all, to be clear, you did not get in.
C
I did get a drag for this podcast. I did.
B
No, you did not.
C
I got a drag with this.
B
You're probably about to say, I just came from. You're probably about to say, I'm headed to where it just came from.
C
I did not say, let's wake it up.
D
Why are neither of you in drag right now?
B
Wake it up. Lazy. Lazy.
C
Listen, RuPaul said we're all more naked. This is my drag today.
B
Play the video.
F
Sibling rivalry. My name is Bob the Drag Queen.
D
Why am I rolling my eyes?
F
Why are you rolling your eyes already? Because you are so extra. I can't. This has been a process, girl.
B
Wait. This audio is crazy awful.
F
Siblings work together. It feels like it's quite the process today. We have a lot to talk about. First of all, why you're in drag. Because I was recording some stuff for my YouTube channel, and instead of d
C
dragging, I do all that.
B
Pause the video. The lies that this literally all. How many minutes are we in, Jacob?
D
1 minute and 13 seconds. You.
B
What's wrong with you? Is it your memory or do you try to lie? It's my memory.
C
I thought I got it.
B
Cause you know my memory is immaculate. You know this. I don't know why you try to play me. And I was like. And I bet I asked you in the motherfucking episode. Keep playing it
F
with myself before I do the next thing. So I wanted to just stay in dry so that I wouldn't eat up any more of your time. See?
C
Considerate.
F
You are showering well. Your smallest accomplishment. You're like, I shower well to you. Because you don't do it often. You don't get it. But for us, we do it regularly. Shower once a month, whether I need it or not.
B
Really quick.
F
You.
C
I. I love you a little. Your little high pitch cackle. You don't do it anymore.
B
I mean, I still laugh like that sometime.
C
It's very rare. You used to do it very often before.
B
You don't make me like. You used to be funny.
C
So much vitriol.
B
I know.
F
I'm. I'm very hood girl. Well, here's the thing. Before we decided to do this thing on the hair, I'm gonna just. My goal Was to lie to you every time about what I was wearing. Like Moulay. What are you wearing? Like just some shorts and. And. And a snuggies. And I'm going to lie to you every time until YouTube known.
B
Liar.
F
You air dragons. If you say shorts and snug doesn't mean you're not in drag. And some snuggies, some wore out toms that are rolling out.
C
That's so mean, Bob.
B
It's true.
F
So we decided.
B
Wait, pause it. So when I used to wear these at toms. When I say toe hanging out the side.
C
I was a queen on a budget.
B
When I say.
F
And what.
B
It doesn't like when I say this. But they.
C
They what?
B
They was hitting the lean back.
C
My feet are. Yes, my feet.
B
Deformed is the word you're looking for.
C
That's what my feet are structured. Also, I would not perform. Let's be very clear. I would not perform in these. But I would. That was my traveling shoes to and from my gigs.
B
I gotta say, this audio is. Wait, can you. Jacob, real quick pull it up on Spotify at some point? Because I feel like. Because Mitch edited the video and I feel like when I edited the audio, it didn't sound quite like this.
C
It's really.
B
I think Mitch might be. I don't think either. We didn't send Mitch the audio and Mitch is using the audio from our. The microphones from the camera. But I feel like the first episode didn't sound like this.
C
Well, girl, wow. We really. This. I love. Look at you. Wait, did you put the green skin in yourself as well?
D
So the other issue is that this episode isn't on Spotify.
B
Really?
D
Yeah, Spotify. Our first one is. I don't like hugs.
B
What number is it? Does it have a number next to it?
D
No, but the Spotify one. Let's see.
B
Well, it might be. There might be the pilot episode. Oh, maybe.
D
Let's find out.
B
We'll just keep it to a little bit and play a little bit because I feel like it's gonna sound a little bit better. Just play it from your phone. It's fine. I just want to hear how it sounds. But yeah, we both had a green
F
screen, so I was just looking up the anchor app.
B
Have you heard about this? I've heard of it. So no, it did sound. It did sound better.
C
Yeah. Wait, we had. As the first episode.
D
No, after we got the anchor sponsorship, they went back in and put it in.
C
Oh, wow.
B
Yeah. Shout out to our former Starburns.
C
Yes.
B
Rip Starburns.
D
Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways
C
to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment
G
of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12 month plan. Request required $15 per month equivalent taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50gb. Me slow when network is busy. See terms.
F
Close your eyes. Exhale. Feel your body relax and let go of whatever you're carrying today.
G
Well, I'm letting go of the worry that I wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class. I got them delivered free from 1-800-contacts. Oh, my gosh, they're so fast.
B
And breathe.
G
Oh, sorry. I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry. Namaste.
C
Visit 1-800-contacts.com today to save on your first order.
B
1-800-contacts. Okay, all right, keep playing.
F
Because Monet and I argue all the time about everything. Like everything. I never had someone that I was such good friends with that I disagree on so much.
C
And that is false.
F
Argue about just like trivial stuff. Like the other day when we were doing our little practice episode. You literally argue with me about whether I want to do this. I'm like, of course I want to do this. It was like a three hour argument.
C
This is so Val.
F
Everyone at home understand why I was arguing.
B
Clear it up.
F
I am sitting in my apartment with a yeti microphone. I have a very. A very expensive camera with lights above it. And Monet is sitting in her apartment with a ring light, an iPhone, apple and cereal box. First of all, laptop, my cell phone, my iPad,
B
my arm, my arm, my arm. Wait, pause it. By the way, when I say crew, Jacob is there.
E
I know.
B
It's literally just Jacob have been dating for like
D
one month.
B
Yeah. That was like brand new dating gaggy picture. My phone you were asking about. You're like, what is this picture from? Oh, yeah, yeah.
C
When he was working.
B
This picture of Jacob.
C
Yeah. When Jake was in Berkeley.
B
It's a picture years ago. Jake and I were walking down the streets in Berkeley and we. It was red nose day at Walgreens where you donate money to something, some cancer and you buy red nose Adams. What?
C
Robin Williams. He when he.
F
He.
C
When he played the doctor. It's an iconic picture of him with the red nose on.
B
Oh, is that from. Is that what the red nose day is about?
C
He was playing. He was a. A doctor with kids with cancer.
B
He tells what red nose they raise money for. And I have a picture of Jacob on my phone. It's my contact photo for Jacob. It's him with a. With a red nose.
D
It's for ending children. Child poverty.
F
Yeah.
D
Oh, poverty.
C
Poverty.
D
Oh, child poverty.
B
Yeah.
F
So.
C
And I want to say using a ring light and my iPhones have great cameras.
B
Clearly, I look better than you. I don't think I. You look. You look. You look like. You look like Zendaya.
C
But I think it was winter.
B
I am the color.
C
I am. But I'm also.
B
You're the color. Naomi is.
C
No, I think it's drag. It's also.
B
Your skin color doesn't change in drag.
C
It doesn't. But I think stuff, like, with highlights and stuff, it can. You can look a little lighter, especially
B
when there's a giant ring light with white on it, no yellow at all, blasting in your face.
C
I think I look good.
B
You look. You look beautiful. The lighting's not great, but you do look very beautiful.
C
Okay, play.
F
Also, your camera is 1500. I have an iPhone X, which is 1300. There's literally a 200 difference. My phone records in 4K quality and in some cases is 8K quality, which your little crunchy ass camera can't even do. So we have quality. My camera. Okay, I think I lied to you. How much? Mitch, we have Mitch, who's our producer here. Mitch, do you know how much our cameras were? I can't remember,
B
But it's a phone.
C
It's still a great phone. Lady Gaga shot a movie on her phone.
B
Pause. Lady Gaga shot a movie.
C
Sorry, A stupid love. A music video.
B
Stupid love said on a phone.
D
On iPhone phone. It was like a Apple partnership.
C
Stupid.
B
This is a great video.
C
All right.
B
It's a great video.
C
Thank you.
F
Black people are, like, appropriating, like, African culture.
C
Wait, what?
F
They're wearing African stuff when they're not. Okay. I don't appropriate, like African. I'm about to talk about 1300. But it's a nice. It's a very nice camera. Anyway, that's not the point. We have a lot. We have a lot to talk about today. How do you feel about people saying that black people are like, okay, like African culture by wearing African stuff when they're not present? Okay, I don't. I Don't fuck with. Okay. I don't even fuck with the whole idea of appropriating of black people. Appropriate African culture. African American, Black Americans. First of all, we have a very young culture. Our culture is less than. It's a little bit less than 160 years old. Black folks haven't even been free as long as they were. As long as they were slaves. You wouldn't even live long enough for blacks to be free as long as we were slaves. That'll be. That's another almost 100.
B
My arm been cut off a cinnamon.
F
So we have to connect. We don't really know where we came from in Afghan. We can take a. What's that, 23andMe. Yeah. Swap inside your mouth and they can give you a general.
C
You're just all over my space.
F
Oh, by the way, apparently I'm one four. The Chinese. I'm also from World One. They're like, you are white.
C
Are you wearing a peppermint shirt?
F
We have a strong connection to our heritage, so sometimes we pick places in Africa that we feel that we can connect to, honestly.
B
Pause it. Since episode one. Monet's not listening.
C
I am listening.
B
Since episode one.
C
Monet, you're not listening.
B
You're not listening to me.
C
I can't drink some water the way you were doing.
B
You weren't listening. What'd I just say?
D
Can you describe how she's doing it to her audio?
B
She's like, oh, they don't. They don't see what we're looking at for audio.
D
People. People.
B
Oh, she's like holding. It's like a can of Canada Dry. And she.
C
Orange.
B
Orange. And she puts it to her mouth and she. She wraps her lips, like, really purse. And she's like swaying left and right and like batting her eyes. What did I just say then?
C
If you said that black people are not going to live. We are not going to live in love enough longer to be free as we were slaves. And you're saying that people do the. Which you. Which is unsanitary. Use your finger, swab it in your mouth. And said like. All these people, like, who say like, I'm one. I'm one for Chinese bitch. You are black. You're not. But you are white. You are white. That's what you just said.
B
Okay. You've learned to listen. I've taught you so much.
F
I don't. I don't feel. Cameron, I am Cameroonian, and that's. And if you. But that, you know, I'm not here to tell you that you're not Cameroonian because you. You look. You look Cameroonian. Look Cameronian. And I feel like my heritage lies somewhere in.
D
Okay. Also because Monet is sitting closer to the camera, it makes her look like she's huge.
B
Oh, gigantic. I look kind. I was sitting up close to. I just look. I am kind. Wait, pause it. Do you still feel Cameroonian?
C
Do I still what?
B
Do you still feel like your camera? I mean, it's.
C
It's in my mind. 23andMe. Do I have any connection to be. To be in Cameroonian?
B
No, but you were Cameroonian. You said, I don't feel Cameron, I am camera.
C
Well, I think back then, I think this is when my twin, my 23 me, was popping, and I'm like, or.
B
Or didn't they go under the air?
F
Girl.
C
And they sold on. Yeah, they sold.
B
Your info's out there, girl. Girl, they got you.
C
I think it was a time in my life where I was. I think, like, it was a stage. I'm like, I want.
F
I'm.
C
I'm desperate to. To find heritage outside of what I know, which is in. Which is in the Caribbean, in America. And I was like, where am I people from in Africa? So I was really clinging to that. But I haven't done any steps to visit to find out anything more than what the test told me. So that's why I don't really feel
B
that you have a Cameroonian friend.
C
You can ask B.B.
D
yeah.
C
Do you think B.B. and I are related?
B
I mean, did she do a 23 on me? You can find out real quick, right?
C
Do you. Do you still stand by everything you said here in this episode?
B
Yeah, I do. Yeah. Firmly. Do you stand by all the stuff
C
you said besides saying that I feel Cameroon?
B
I mean, you said you are. You said, I don't feel camera. You said your words. I don't feel Cameron, I am Cameroon.
C
I mean, I am Cameroonian. That is correct. I still stand by you at work.
F
I'm from Atlanta. And they go, no. Where your mother from? My mom's from Mississippi. They go, no.
B
Your father from.
F
Dude, I'm from America. They're going, no, you're from Ghana. So I probably have some Ghanaian. Ghanaian down in my.
B
Wait, pause it. Is that correct?
C
It's Ghanaian. You don't say Ghanaian. You don't say Ghana. You say Ghanaian. I guess we see how deep those roots run.
B
How you know that's true.
C
Cause I've heard Will, where your father from?
B
Where your father from?
C
That's what people from Ghana say. They say I'm Ghanaian.
D
Okay.
F
Ghana, Connecticut girl. I'm from Ghana, Decatur. Well, also, here's my thing with the whole act black thing. I mean, I get what you're saying. Like, it's very hard to pinpoint exactly where you're from. But I feel like us being so disconnected and so far removed from that heritage, we as black people, as African Americans, as African West Indians, whatever, can do a better job of informing ourselves about things about that culture. For example, kente cloth is something only used for ceremonial purposes in lots of cultures and tribes in Africa. So if you are in a fucking kente cloth.
B
Pause it. Is that true? I don't think that's true.
C
I remember reading a thing about it. It was like, kente, like, kente oftentimes is used for ceremony things. For back then when I remember he said only. This was like 2018 is only used for. Oh, I think you should use. How is kente cloth used? Is probably a better question to ask.
B
Kente cloth. No, kente cloth is not only for ceremonies. It originated as a royal ceremonial cloth for special occasions in Ghana.
C
That's what I'm saying.
B
And has evolved to be used in contemporary fashions, home decor, and worn for celebrations, graduations, and to express African pride globally through specific patterns still hold deep ceremonial meaning.
C
Well, so I was half right. That's how it was. That's how when it. When. When people first started using kente cloth, it was for use for, like, ceremonial, like.
B
So according to this, it is traditional is for royalty using shrines and symbolic as colors and patterns convey proverbs, historical events and wisdom in modern day. It is for celebration, fashion, decor, and cultural pride work. You're welcome. Play the video.
F
You know what I mean?
C
I love you editing out the dead air. That's good, but it's a little silent.
F
Aren't always wearing their Kinte colossal celebrational thing. They just be wearing them on the street. Oh, you don't even know that. No, I see kente cloth is in the dashiki, and I see them wearing their kid cloth. But they're not there doing the ceremonies. They're just standing on the street selling. You see what I'm saying? So I think that when we don't have a strong connection to our culture.
C
Wait, pause. Sorry.
B
We're not gonna make it this episode.
C
Be sorry. Do you hear. Do you. Do you think your voice sounds different here than it does now?
B
Maybe a little bit, but I don't think it sounds that much different, to be honest.
C
I do. I think you hear. You sound like you sound. Not younger as a word, but you sound like.
B
I am younger.
C
You are younger. But you, like. You, like. You're like. You're, like, talking up here.
D
You're like.
B
I don't. No.
C
Taylor. Anyone listening?
B
Yes, Bob.
C
You are. You're like.
G
Yeah.
B
You're like.
C
You're talking up here, like, in your mask.
F
You're like.
C
I don't see the difference. You're up here.
B
Well, obviously, it was bad for my voice because I had to get surgery, so obviously what I'm doing now is better for my voice. This is different.
C
Do I sound different?
B
No.
C
Damn.
F
Swahili.
B
Swahili. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you call it?
F
Yeah, Swahili. Rosetta Stone.
C
Bobby still have. You have, like, five of them in your house.
D
Okay. It's also seven years later. How's swahili going?
B
Jumbo Rafiki.
C
What does that mean?
B
Hello, friend.
C
Jamborafiki.
B
So I ordered. I ordered Rosetta stone, Swahili, in 2008, and I took lessons for, like, a month, but I had pimsleur approach in my house. I feel like you didn't.
C
You have, like, the yellow things in your apartment. I feel like.
B
No, they were in the. There were these dark brown cases with gold lettering on them, and it was the pimsleur approach, which all. Which is another language learning model.
F
Got it.
D
Yeah.
F
And maybe if I tried a little hard, a little bit longer, I could have. So excuse me. I have to go to the rescue for three times.
C
What is going on with the background?
F
God damn it. All right, so I want to talk about. Also, it wasn't in the Oscars this year, but the cultural phenomenon that is Black Panther. I know.
C
Okay, pause really quick. Sorry. Now, Bob, when he was editing this video or.
B
I didn't edit this video, actually.
C
Bitch. Y' all see, this bitch is slapping me. Y' all should have put him on
B
the layer behind me. You are just slapping me in the
C
face throughout the entire episode like he
B
should have been in the layer behind me. Well, take it up with Mitch. I didn't do the video.
F
Well, you finally saw it. I did. I want to go see Black Panther was a good movie. It wasn't the best movie ever, but I. I get why the movie is important, and I really loved it. Why? Okay. Why wasn't it a great movie for you? Well, I mean, it was. I think the movie follows a pretty standard format that isn't inventive or creative. It's like, oh, this guy rises to power, takes over his father's throne, finds Out. His father wasn't perfect.
C
Monet, close your mouth. And then he, you know, goes like that.
F
You know, I don't think that the story itself is revolutionary or specifically.
B
That looks crazy.
C
That looks insane.
D
I mean.
B
Pause it. We've discussed several times. Your mouth is never closed. Like, your lips don't touch. You're gonna be overconscious of it now. And not just in pictures in life. Like you walk around like this.
C
Do I really?
F
Yes.
B
Monet, your mouth.
C
This is you all the time.
B
Rest your face.
C
I watch.
B
Rest your face. Your lips don't touch. Is it? Cause your teeth are big. What's going on?
C
Oh, my God.
F
Why you look so aggressive in my screen?
B
You do have big teeth.
D
Oh, my.
B
I also have big teeth. I have big teeth. You do have big teeth. Chompers.
C
Do I really?
B
Yes. But you have big teeth.
C
My big. My teeth are normal. Are bigger than normal people's teeth.
B
I would say. You have big teeth. Yes,
E
you do.
B
I also have big teeth.
C
I don't think I have big teeth. I think you have a lot of teeth.
B
I have a big head, so my. My. I have the same amount of teeth as everyone else.
C
I think you do.
B
I actually have a little less.
D
Some of these.
B
Some of these aren't teeth. Some of these aren't teeth. They look like teeth. It gives a look and feel of teeth. They're not teeth.
C
The touch and feel of real.
B
The touch and feel of real. But they are absolutely not. Text to you.
C
It's taking me out your hand in front of me the entire video.
F
To see that. Also to see. It was really moving. To actually see, even though it was fully fictional, a country in Africa run by black people that is hugely successful and more successful in the world. Because I don't feel like as black folks, we get to see stuff like that. Yeah. Ever. It's just not part of the narrative for us. So that. That really felt fierce. It actually was moving. Especially like this never gets old. Flew into the. To the shield or whatever the hell it was.
D
Yeah.
F
And also.
B
But pause it. Can I ask a question? Is. Is there some Zionisty tones in there in Black Panther? Like, it feels like that's kind of the Iron Dome.
C
Let me think about it.
B
Like, is that. Is that the iron? Like, is. Is Wakanda kind of Israel? I'm just asking. I'm just thinking. I'm just thinking. By the way. I'm literally just thinking, like. It seems like kind of like the Iron Dome, but I think. And it's like a wealthy country surrounded by poorer countries.
C
But I think it was more so to protect.
B
I will say other countries in the Middle east are actually very wealthy.
C
And I think that in Black Panther was to protect them from white people, not the other black people around. Because I think. And I think in Wakanda, other Africans could come into Wakanda if they wanted to, but it was to shield them because they had a resource to do all.
B
What are these white countries in Africa?
C
No, no, no. It was to shield them from no white people coming from outside of Africa to come. To come to get them. I think they brought white people in who would have. That one guy. There's only one white guy there. That senator or.
B
I mean, I haven't seen a while, but didn't superheroes show up? Didn't the white folks show up in Wakanda?
C
No, it was the one guy. It was the one, like, doctor, and they ended up putting him in the guard. There was, like, a specific reason.
B
Google it. Can white people come to Wakanda?
D
The short answer is yes.
B
Yeah, white people go to Wakanda.
D
But I mean, it. Not like, not until, like, not until Black Panther, like, he was like, what are you talking. What?
B
I want to get the answer from the Google.
D
Oh, okay.
B
Because I feel like white people can go to Wakanda.
C
I don't think so. I think was the one guy that, like, the senator or whatever he was or. No, I think he worked for SHIELD
B
Anyway, I tell you that a woman who was in a play with me at this time was in Black Panther, the museum curator.
C
Oh, I think I remember telling me
B
that she was the angel in Angels America, Frankie Faradanny.
F
Right, right, right.
B
British lady, work. She actually had a really great American accent. Obviously, the angle is American in Angels in America, but she had one word she said with the British accent. She didn't realize she was saying Jimmy. Schedule, Schedule.
C
Schedule.
B
Instead of schedule.
C
Instead of schedule.
B
She'd be like, something, something. But it was an American accent. She like. And of course, staying on time with us with the schedule. And I was like, you know, that's. We say schedule after you say schedule.
C
And did she fix it or. She kept on doing it.
B
She fixed it.
C
Got it.
B
Shout out to Frankie. Frankie, I don't know where you at, but shout out to Frankie Faraday. And I saw Frankie as Madame Curie in the. In the. In the Madame Curie play.
C
I'm so mad that we missed. Apparently.
B
Is she the first woman to win a Nobel science Prize? Madame Curie?
C
Apparently we. Apparently the. There was A Paranormal Activity play, apparently.
A
Everyone.
C
I got so many. Some people were, oh, my God, this was so good. And I heard literally the exact amount of people, like, girl, don't waste your time.
B
Where was it at?
C
It was down at the one that we saw, Strange Loop at the Armanson. The Ahmadson Ahmanson?
B
Yeah.
C
Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm mad I missed it.
B
Is it a musical?
C
No, it's a play. But apparently the visual effects are so fierce.
B
You know, I gotta tell you, like, I've seen some scary plays, and there's something really jarring about being in the same room. Like, actually in the same room as the scary thing, I suppose they're watching on tv. I saw American Psycho.
C
How is that?
B
You know what? My favorite show? But they had some really cool effects. Like, at one point, toward the end of the first act, this giant, like, cellophane or plexiglass wall covers the entire proscenium, separating you from the actors. And then he starts, like, murdering someone. And then just every. The entire plexiglass wall is just blood. Like, it just splashing. And, like, you just. The whole wall is just, like, dripping and oozing in blood. It was really.
C
You saw that in this In New York.
B
On Broadway.
C
Yeah, on Broadway.
D
Yeah.
B
Yeah. All right.
C
Okay, let's go.
D
We never finished the conversation.
B
Oh, so are white people out in Wakanda?
C
No, see? Yeah. No senator to get there because they brought him in because of whatever. Because after t'.
B
Challa, show me what you were. Tell us what you're. What you're saying.
D
Oh, I mean, it's just going off of, like, the. The comic books in the film.
B
Oh, yeah.
C
I think that was the whole thing about it. It was to protect them for white people coming to steal their resources and their culture.
D
So I would say the similarities is that. I would say Israel and Wakanda are maybe both kind of an ethnostate born out of response to a trauma.
B
Yeah.
D
Even though I don't know if I would actually label Wakanda an ethnostate because it's really like, five distinct tribes. Right.
B
This is two black people and a Jewish person talking about this. So I guess we are qualified.
C
We are not African. We are African. We don't live in Cameroon.
B
In three seconds ago, seven years ago, you were straight up from Cameroon.
D
I mean, I don't think you can say Zionisty because Zionism is more about, like, an entitlement to land.
B
So are they entitled to Wakanda?
C
I mean, I think they're from there like, they. Like, they're. They've always lived there.
B
But I guess what the most important thing would be that there were. They didn't displace anyone.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
I think the most important thing would be if they kicked out some other
C
efforts to make it there.
F
Yeah.
B
Okay.
D
So I guess the real question is, is Wakanda an ethno state and is that problematic?
B
You know, it could be. Girl, you gonna have your black ass.
C
Talk about all Wakanda is problematic on this thing.
B
It could be the hotel could have cover your ass, like white. Could be problematic. Yes. But to be clear, I'm not saying that Wakanda is Israel. I'm just asking myself, is there something Is a little Israeli? All right, let's keep watching.
D
But that was also the point of the movie, right? Because after the movie, the events of Black Panther, they're like, we need to open up. And then they built the outreach centers in, like, Oakland.
C
Yeah, yeah, right.
D
Because they're. They're coming around. They're like, hey, maybe what we've been doing hasn't been the best thing.
C
Yeah.
D
So we need to actually start sharing
B
stuff with other people. Oh, conda.
C
Oh, let's take a break. Okay, Bob, we're back. Bobby, you have to stop pausing.
B
We're only eight minutes in. I told you we're gonna make it.
D
I have.
B
You paused. Oh, my God. Wait, pause. Can I even do that? You. I used to laugh like that.
C
Yes, Bob, in the tenure of our friendship, your laugh has changed, my voice
B
has changed, but even, like, a lot
C
of your laugh has changed. I feel like every two years, I'm introduced to a new Bob laugh.
B
Cody. No, Cody. All right, keep playing.
F
When at the. Something happened when the white people were trying to come in or whatever, someone goes, colonizers. And I like. I think that. Okay, first of all, I've never seen a Tyler Perry movie in the theater, but I have a good deal that the next Tyler Perry movie come out. We will go see it in Harlem together.
C
Never.
B
Never did it.
F
Movie. You have to do it at a black theater. Oh, absolutely. I. I also saw get out at that same theater. And it was everything that you were about. It was everything. I think I saw, like, Spider Man. I went to M. Justin and watched, like, you know, the Notebook. Oh, did you see movie? Yeah, it is a gay movie, but everyone's talking about this, like, infamous scene where he has to, like, a peach and then the guy eats a beach or something like that.
B
Pause it. Immediate us talking about shit we don't know. Nothing about. We ain't seen this movie. We ain't.
C
We don't know about the movie.
B
We heard a friend.
D
That's honestly exactly what happens.
C
Well, no, he jerks off in the piece.
B
Yeah, he jerks off in the piece.
C
Wrong to pick with you. Well, I guess you never saw it because we watched. On our thing. We watched the Time Traveler's Wife and Bob in the first.
B
That's a very popular thing. Cody, Cody.
A
Cody.
C
Don't know you.
B
Hi, Cody.
F
Hi, honey.
B
Oh, you're wet. It's okay, Cody. Oh, you are wet. Wait, so what about so and so?
C
You shut the time shadows of life down. Cause you were like.
B
It's problematic.
C
It's problematic. Yes, because it was a guy with a younger girl and a guy whatever, throughout her life. But, baby, call me by her name is statutory.
B
I've never seen call you by her name. I've never advocated for this fucking movie. I ain't never watched this shit in my life.
C
Like, a little boy jerks. Well, a teen boy jerks off in a peach who. He's having an affair with this older man. And then a man eats a peach full of his semen.
B
What does that have to do with me?
C
I just say you should.
B
I've never advocated for this. I've never seen this movie. I have never told. I have never recommended this movie. I don't know nothing about this movie except Timothee Chalamet's in it.
C
Should we watch it on. Is Timothy Chalamet? Yeah, it is. Should we watch it on Patreon?
D
I mean, let's have a heated rivalry.
B
I don't have any. I don't have any particular, like, desire to watch Call me by your name.
C
It won awards, right? I think it has a lot of critical. Critical acclaim.
B
Something about the movie just. It doesn't speak to me. I just don't care that this movie exists.
C
Should we watch a Hulu.
B
Timothy Chapman is on my shit list already anyway.
C
Why would he do.
B
Because of fucking Marty Supreme.
C
Was it bad?
B
It's frustrating.
C
Why is it frustrating?
B
I can't even. Monet, we don't even have time, okay?
C
We literally.
B
We do not have time to get into why I'm so frustrated by Marty Supreme.
F
Supreme.
D
Oh, wow.
B
And if you understand what I'm going through, if you. If you sympathize with me or empathize with me, please comment below.
C
So you went to movies to go
B
see it on Christmas? No, not Christmas Day. Around Christmas.
D
Christmas Eve.
B
Christmas Eve, I went to go into the Chinese theater. To watch Marty Supreme.
F
Hey, baby.
C
Interesting. Okay.
B
All right, let's keep watching.
F
Yes. He like nuts inside of his peach. And then someone just eats it. That's not okay. Coming in to beat down. Is someone eating. Isn't that crazy? I remember one time a drag queen in New York City, who. I won't say her name. Oh, yeah, she shed an apple out of her asshole. She had an apple in her ass
B
high in the Bronx, squeezed it out
F
and then Georgie picked up a piece of the apple and she. And she ate it. Okay? Not a piece of the whole apple. And she bit it because she thought it was a fucking joke. She did not. Because the apple came out of her asshole. Then she bit the apple then to pieces and spit it into the bowl salad and passed it around. And then Thor took a piece of the apple and she ate it. And everyone's freaking out. And I was like, do you eat apples? Do you eat ass? Then why are you sh. Someone ate an apple that came out of someone's ass. Oh, no, that's different, girl. Because it's sitting in it. It's marinating. That's right.
B
Can we pause for a second? I want to be clear. I still don't think it's weird to eat a peach with c. Like, I, I, I certainly had come in my mouth. And I'm from Georgia. I've certainly had peaches in my mouth. And all you're doing is maybe the, the calm is a little more palatable.
C
I think that. I don't think it's weird. I think it's the whole. What the story is, is weird.
B
If the point is to be a little kinky, then I don't see what the problem is.
C
Also jerking off in a peach. How shallow is this? How small is this? Like, you know what I'm saying?
B
Like, he didn't stick his dick all
C
the way in the peach. He did.
B
He was like, his entire penis is in the peach.
C
Well, I think you haven't even seen the movie. No, I have seen the movie. I've seen the movie.
B
His entire penis.
C
I mean, they don't show it, but he's like, stroking it.
B
I think maybe he's stroking his dick and just come. I mean, I assume you take a bite and come into the. Come into the bite you took out of. Or just, or get a melon baller.
F
What?
B
A melon baller.
C
And dig it out.
B
Dig it out and then come into the, into the hole. Are you about to look it up, Jacob?
D
I was, but we should probably keep
C
on watching the episode.
B
We're not gonna make it through.
F
It's fine there as like five minutes before. She did not. She was my roommate at the time and I'll tell you who it is. She did not put the apple in a week ago. She didn't put it into her mouth. She put it into her ass. It didn't pass through her system, I guess. Apparently the guy who came in the beach was very young and the guy who ate the peach was an older gentleman. But also, here's the thing too. Like, if you're going to eat a peach, that's fine, but you're not expecting to get like, like, like a 14 year old semen in your mouth when you go eat a peach. That's, that's why it's weird. Bob is like you act like it's like a, like a regular occurrence, like a normal thing to happen. I'm just saying it's not crazy for me to have semen in my mouth.
B
I stand by that.
F
So peach. These are a few of my favorite.
B
Wait, pause it, Jacob. So can we, can we confirm how old Timothy Chalamet's character is? Because you keep saying 14.
C
He's like 14 or 15. He's a. He's not. He's definitely not 18.
B
And he has.
C
He's going back to school. He's going back to high school.
B
Like high school.
C
High school. Yes.
B
This is problematic.
C
I know that's what. That's. I think that's what I was getting at is the weird part.
B
You. But you still think it's weird to have a fully grown man come in a peach and have someone else eat it?
C
No, the kid came out 17.
B
He was 17.
C
17.
D
But you think the guy is. The other guy is 24.
B
But do you think it's weird to have a fully grown man come into a peach and have another fully grown adult eat the peach?
C
No, that's not weird. But I was like it. Jacob, I don't know if you can tell. If you tell us, was he expecting. Did he know the cum was in the peach or was a surprise?
D
He knew.
C
He knew. Okay.
B
It was like kinky.
C
Kinky.
B
And it's really not that kinky. I mean it's a little. It's a little bizarre, but it's not. I've seen much kinkier stuff.
C
Yeah.
A
Okay.
B
Is Cody distracting you?
C
Don't put him down. No.
F
Oh, Cody.
C
I like Cody because I'm not allergic to him.
B
Pause. You're allergic to potato. We've had this conversation.
C
Yeah, several times.
B
That's insane.
A
I know.
B
That's crazy.
C
I know.
B
So you just pop in Zyrtec every day? Every day.
C
It's probably not good for my liver or something.
B
Apparently it's not bad for your liver. Jacob's allergies to.
D
I mean, I. I talked to my. I talked to my doctor, and I was like, hey, I'm taking a lot of Zyrtec now. Is that fine? And they were like, yeah, that's fine. I. That's specifically me and my medical provider. So I, you know, check in with yours. We're not doctors, but.
C
Well, they make allergy shots, but apparently it's like a. It's like a 50.
F
50.
C
50, 50 chance that they'll work.
D
Yeah.
C
Allergy shots. Are you allergic to anything? No, nothing.
B
No, no allergies. Basically a perfect.
C
The way that animals will sit there and lick their bits is crazy. Colleen will use a little box come out. You know, cats are flexible. She will sit down leg up here.
D
Who did she learn that from?
B
This. This is model behavior.
C
Licking her after she goes.
B
She's modeling behavior. She's seen girl.
C
Is Cody full grown?
B
Yeah, he's grown.
D
Got it.
B
He's three. Can you tell them what you're laughing at, Jacob?
D
He's looking at herself in the mirror.
B
Because, I mean.
C
Okay, Bob, we were sitting there for,
B
I think, like, an hour.
C
I'm in full drag. I'm probably sweaty. I want to, like, make sure I'm looking good on camera. That's not crazy.
B
It's unprofessional.
D
The thing is because Monet has always.
B
When we were doing herself with the
C
camera, y', all, when we used to do.
B
We rocked it. Clocked it.
C
When we did river side episodes, Bob used to square. I was looking at myself. And we clocked it sometimes, not all the time.
D
Well, next episode, we'll have a mirror right here. We'll see how well you do.
C
Okay, that is a very contentious word.
F
Don't you dare, girl slave.
C
Oh, my God.
F
Jesus Christ. Master Steve Jobs.
C
Who are you talking about?
B
Steve Jobs?
F
Oh, and I run out of the Galaxy Note 9 or 8. I don't know which one it is, but it's a really great phone when they does not believe it. Well, here's the thing. Before Bob accidentally won RuPaul's Drag Race, he could never really ask for to have an iPhone, so he had to. He had to have a galaxy. And now he's just. Okay, what you're saying is now his brain is just addition to using this thing that it is. That's Ridiculous. All right, all right. Hold on. The first question is best pizza in New York City. Besties in New York City with Domino's bitch. Everything I want to say.
C
Applause.
F
Okay, this is.
C
I would say, the reason why my Santa was like that because I was conditioned by this bitch. We would eat Domino's so many times a week.
B
I love Domino's.
C
My brain told me it was Domino's. I disagree.
B
Go ahead. Sorry.
C
I disagree with that.
F
Now.
C
I wouldn't say Domino's, but we just had. I would have Domino's at least twice a week beamed by you.
B
I don't think Domino's is. Domino's is my favorite, like, chain pizza. And I probably prefer Domino's over local pizza. Last night, we had Detroit pizza was actually really good. Detroit is great.
C
Detroit is great pizza.
B
Great pizza. If you're in Hollywood, you got to get Detroit pizza.
C
I honestly. A little better than. You know, I love Prince street, but a little bit of Prince street, to
B
me, I think it's better than Prince Street. The thing is, is. Is they're. They're pretty small pizza. I would say two people per pizza, and each piece is a corner piece.
C
Yeah. Which is great.
B
So it's got that. That crispiness on it. But my favorite piece in New York City is 1, 2, 3.
C
Coronet. Yeah.
F
You get embarrassed because you don't. People don't want you to acknowledge that Domino's has good pizza. And people are, like, trying to on Domino's Pizza. But I'm not about that life.
C
Did you try to edit out the curse?
B
It wasn't me. I didn't edit this.
F
Oh, so you probably haven't had Domino's in a long time. This thing. I'm telling you, Domino's has good pizza. What's your favorite piece? Okay, so here's the thing. So you know how they have the 2. The 5.99. Deal. If you get, like, multiple media signs, blah, blah, blah, blah. But now, because of the algorithm and the lexicons on Facebook, the lexicons pause.
B
Can we pause? Jacob, what do you think a lexicon is? It's not that I need to know what you think it is.
C
Let's talk about language. I don't know what. I don't know what I was getting at. The algorithm, the lexicons.
D
What are you doing? Sorry, I was talking to Cody.
B
Okay, let's do this.
F
7.99. So my favorite is a thin crust, large chicken, bacon, ham, pepperoni, big back.
B
Big back.
F
Are you kidding right now? Oh, girl, it is Every day. Bacon, ham, and pepperoni.
E
Yes.
F
Red, green peppers and onions. Hey, here's the thing. Many nights when we have sat on your floor in your old apartment and
B
eating boxes of pepperoni, I miss those days.
C
That was too much pizza.
F
Chicken, bacon, ham, pork, sausage.
B
I want pizza on my pizza.
F
Pizza with extra sauce. Also, you used to. You used to shame me for eating meat. And now here she go. Yes, I have never, ever.
C
Yes, you have.
B
Pause. We got to talk about it. When have I shamed you for eating me? Okay, I've never shamed you. For you.
C
By allow. By having Honey LeBron in your part, when I came. When I was a visitor in your home and I would eat my food and having someone who lives in your home play with me and while I'm eating.
B
So, to be clear, everyone who's ever disrespected me in your home, that was on you.
C
No one has ever.
B
I just want to be clear. If I've ever been disrespected in your home, that was on you.
C
Yeah, but who. Who would disrespect you in my home? Literally, no one. You know who.
B
You know who.
C
No one has ever. I would not. I would not stand to let anyone disrespect you. My mom.

Well, me and Osnan got into it one time during the game night.

B
During the game. It got heated. Was I there? You was there. It got heated.
C
What game were we playing?
B
We're actually really. We're really cool, but it got heated.

A mess.
B
Now I want to dedicate this song to you, Erica Kirk. Bang, bang into the. Like. Jesus Christ, Onika.
C
All right.
F
Hit play and have a sandwich with five kinds of meat on. And I would say, Monet, that is a lot of meat. But I have never shamed. First of all, as long as you've known me, I've never been a vegetarian. I was before you met me.
C
No, you, Bob. You were. For a vegetarian.
F
I met you, you were vegetarian. I knew you were your vegetarian. First of all, you didn't know me then. Oh, my God. You heard me. Because I'm legendary. That's what's. But since you and I've been hanging out since I accepted you into the clan. Also. Also, let me say this. You said that you didn't shame me. You literally, in your eyes and your gesture, you were just shaming me. I can't wait for you to watch this. You like? That's a lot. That is shaming.
C
That is a little shaming.
B
Observation, not a criticism.
F
Gotham Pizza. It is on.
B
Gotham is good pizza. Best dollar pizza in the city. Used to be $not $pizza.
F
I've been there for about four years, so I'm sorry. It's next to the Chipotle. Hold on. And you are forgetting about Mama's Pizza. Mama's Pizza.
C
Oh, y. Mama's Pizza.
F
Mama's pizza at 106 in Amsterdam. Yeah. And we. We would get Mama's. And get a bucket of fried Oreos and eat them in your apartment.
C
Big bag, bucket of fried Oreos.
B
It was a bag.
F
We had a few fried Oreos. Let's take a very short break, and when we come back, we will have some more questions from our fans.
C
Okay. We should pause it here and then do a part two of this, because we're not gonna get through the rest of it.
B
Yeah. How much time we got, Jacob?
D
Yeah, we can. We can wrap whatever.
F
Okay.
B
Yeah. I mean, I never thought we. We'd get through maybe. Maybe the next part we'll review another early episode.
F
Yeah.
C
That was good.
B
I mean, we have come. So.
F
So.
C
I'm so proud of us. Look at where we're at now. In your studio at Purse First Studios, across the country.
F
Across.
B
Across the universe.
C
The universe.
B
The United States universe.
C
I've seen this. Is that a show? No.
B
Oh, it's like a Beatles. It's not about the Beatles. It is a jukebox movie musical with all Beatles music.
C
And what is it about?
B
I cannot remember. I think it's a love story.
D
What is it? Across the universe.
B
Yeah.
C
I can't even remember what it's about.
D
Oh, yeah. There's, like a lesbian war and there's War.
B
There's a lesbian.
D
Yeah, it's just like hippies during the Vietnam war.
B
Kind of like hair did it.
C
Oh, there is a movie up here. They do the remake, though. It's the old. The original era. The original hair is too old. I want to see a updated version of it.
B
I don't have strong opinions about that.
C
Sasha Allen. She is, man.
F
She.
C
Her singing that role on Broadway.
F
She is.
B
I cried.
C
She is. She.
B
I whipped it.
C
I want us to give a shout out to Sasha Allen. She's an iconic New Yorker for her voice. She's been in these Broadway streets. She did. I cannot believe she did not win the voice. People who don't win the voice and they're like that. I'm like, she is literally a once in a generation talent. Her voice is immaculate.
B
I don't know who else was competing that year, so I can't really speak on that. Such a beautiful voice. Maybe the next Whitney Houston was on the same season.
C
I say she's the next Whitney Houston.
B
Maybe the next Mariah Carey's on the same season. I don't know.
C
She's incredible.
B
But she does have an absolutely beautiful voice.
C
So shout out to Sasha Allen. Sasha, I love you, girl.
B
Sasha, do you watch?
C
I don't know, y'.
F
All.
B
Tag Sasha Allen.
C
Tog tog. Tag Sasha Allen.
B
Okay, you're sleepy.
C
Let's wrap it up. I'm not sleepy.
B
Maybe you need your Adderall. All right, thanks, everyone.

Hosts: Bob the Drag Queen & Monét X Change
In this nostalgic and riotously funny episode, Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change revisit and react to the very first episode of their iconic podcast, “Sibling Rivalry.” Seven years after that pilot, they embark on a journey through their messy beginnings, reflecting on their early dynamic, production mishaps, and what’s changed (and what hasn’t) in their friendship and careers. The episode is full of classic Sibling Rivalry banter, juicy behind-the-scenes details, sharp cultural commentary, and signature comedic roasts.
Production Struggles:
Shady Gratitude and Banter:
Longevity and Legacy:
Video & Audio Quality Roasts:
Being In-Drag (Or Not):
The Classic Sibling Energy:
African-American Heritage & Kente Cloth
The Swahili Language Journey
Black Panther, Zionism, and Representation
Infamous "Peach" Scene in "Call Me By Your Name"
Food Fights: Best Pizza in NYC
The hosts’ infectious chemistry, signature shade, and willingness to roast themselves—and each other—make the show as engaging as ever. The tone is conversational, outrageous, and distinctly queer, blending pop culture with deeper commentary and irrepressible hilarity.
This episode is a treat for loyal fans, full of in-jokes, lore, and references to their early days. But it’s just as accessible (and uproarious) for newcomers, as the duo’s banter, honesty, and insights transcend inside jokes—offering a vivacious snapshot of queer communal experience, friendship, and growth.
Sasha, tag yourself! Shoutout to Detroit pizza. Don’t put peaches near Bob or Monét. And yes, they still pause far too much.
