Monet X Change
You heard about Jerry Springer?
Bob the Drag Queen
I did. Jerry Springer died last week, I think
Monet X Change
at 76, 79, 76 years old.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jerry Springer. I remember so many times when I would. I would either be sick from school or whatever. I stayed home, I would always watch. I would watch Maury, I would watch Jerry Springer and I would watch Jenny Jones or one of those shows.
Monet X Change
I mean, Jerry Springer was a very problematic show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, it was very problematic. I mean, and they were, I mean a lot of people. I mean, I remember thinking as a kid, cause I didn't know any better that these are like real people. But they were oftentimes paid actors or like they were paid to do these things on tv. They were like real situation.
Monet X Change
I think that people, I don't know, I've never really been on a talk show in that capacity. And I think they get paid regardless, like no matter what. But a lot of them were. Were like revving it up and yeah, there's also talk about it came out on. On. On Tik Tok and who were saying like they were not. They were just antagonized and like kind of like low key tricked into doing it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like I haven't seen those tiktoks. Like, like they like how are you tricked into doing Jerry Springer?
Monet X Change
Well, no, tricked into going into a hostile environment. Like they'll go in and then when they get there there's like someone like the producers take them out the night before to get like wasted and then. And then they come in and they're tired, but there's no food. All there is left is like energy drinks and more alcohol for craft services. This is all alleged, you know, and there's nothing but. And then like before you go out someone like yells at you. Like is literally screaming at you right before you go on stage.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow. Yeah. I mean I haven't heard of that stuff, but rest in peace. Jerry Springer gave a lot of daytime. Then after Jerry. I think Jerry Springer like retired and
Monet X Change
he was a governor too.
Bob the Drag Queen
Governor of where?
Monet X Change
I think Wyoming.
Bob the Drag Queen
So random.
Monet X Change
You go there. Jacob. Jerry Spring was the governor of some state. Wyoming maybe. I might be making that. I might be making up a state. But he was a governor before he was. Before he was.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, before the show.
Jacob
Ohio.
Monet X Change
What city was it? What state was it?
Jacob
Ohio?
Monet X Change
You know that scans. He was the governor of the state
Bob the Drag Queen
of Ohio and then when he retired his big security person was Steve Wilkos.
Monet X Change
Steve.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then it became the Steve Wilko show after Jerry.
Monet X Change
No, the Steve Wilco show and the Jerry show were going at the same time.
Bob the Drag Queen
They were.
Monet X Change
Yes, they were.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think Jerry was still doing it. Jerry. I gave up at some like stopped doing it at some point. I think Steve took over and that's when became the Steve Wilco Show. I think.
Monet X Change
I don't know if that's true because I think still WOL has his own show and Steve Wil show started in first.
Jacob
Yeah. It says in January 2007 they announced that Wilkos would host a talk show of his own.
Monet X Change
Yeah, his show was in 2007 and Jerry Springer show ended in 2018.
Jacob
Wow.
Bob the Drag Queen
He would. That's like a lot of these like. Like this. This is alleged again. So I love Judge Judy. I am on Judge Judy TikTok. I. When I find like a Judge Judy TikTok channel, I will go to that Page and go scroll all the way down and watch them like back to back to back to back. And I find Judge Judy so fascinating. There's Judith Shine one, there's Judith Shinellin. And then I found this other TikTok that goes back to like the late 80s when she was still like a courtroom judge. And she is the exact same that she is in her show with the same way she ruled her courtroom in reality in New York state when she would try cases there. But I say that to say there's all these alleged rumors that her and Bert weren't friends. And again, she doesn't have to be, but she shipanaly.
Monet X Change
She like never is Burt her bailiff.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, bailiff, Officer Burt that she never spoke to him off camera, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, that seems so. I mean, who knows how true that is? Who knows if we'll ever find out the truth. But she has a new iteration of her show and she does not have office to Burt anymore. And again, but he did it for so many years. He's probably like, I retired, I made a lot of money, I'm good. And he just didn't wanna do it anymore. I don't think they had bad blood. He just probably moved on.
Monet X Change
I mean, I'm not really deep into the world of Judge Judy, but maybe there's a chance that they like, they just weren't friends, but they weren't enemies like you have that aren't your friends, but you're not enemies. You just don't have much in common.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, I do a podcast with
Monet X Change
one who Lady Bunny. Let's start doing some advisory with you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you like, Wait, real quick. Did you like any of the, did you like any of the judge shows? Like, did you watch Mathis? Did you watch.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I watched almost. I watched Judge Judy, I watched Judge Mathis, I watched Judge Joe Brown, I watched Divorce Court, I watched the People's Court. I like Judge Milian, I like Judge Maybelline. Ephraim.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh my God, Judge Maybelline. Do you know who's crazy? She became like a Fox News correspondent. Judge. Judge Shanine Shapiro.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Fucking crazy ass bitch.
Monet X Change
Yeah, we are. Yeah, girl. I mean if you watch the View,

Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
So good.
Monet X Change
But yeah, yeah, I, I used to watch all the. My mom, my mom used to love Judge. My mom used to have a big crush on Judge Mathis.
Bob the Drag Queen
Judge Mathis, he's a little wild too. I, he, he a lot. I low key, not low key. High key. Some of the stuff he would say would be so problematic.
Monet X Change
Have you seen Judge Mathis going, I knew I smelled a little crack in you. I can always smell a little crack because Judge.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Monet X Change
Judge Mathis and Judge your brains to go. Judge your brains to go. Here's the problem with you young boys today. You all think that you're hip hopping and beatbopping but you're not raising your children.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't remember Judge Joe Brown. I didn't really watch Judge Joe Brown.
Monet X Change
Judge Joe Brown was like light skinned Judge Mathis. Judge Mathis was always like, I knew you ain't smoke a little bit of crack.
Bob the Drag Queen
Judge Mathis was hood.
Monet X Change
And judge, Judge Brown was like, well the problem with young children these days, you don't want to raise your kids. And they used to, they used to be straight up disrespecting Judge J. Brown. Like Judge Jo Brown used to get dogged. Yeah, dogged on his show.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't really watch his because Judge J. Brown was whack. He was fucking corny. Like nobody wants to, nobody want no advice on a Judge Joe Brown.
Monet X Change
Have you seen that lady who goes what are you laughing? What are you clapping for? What are you over there clapping for?
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Yay.

Bob the Drag Queen
What happened to her? I've not seen Rolling Ray on my, on my timeline in a while.
Monet X Change
I think something happened to Rolling Ray and he suffered some like severe burns on his body. I think he something. I might be making this up but I feel like he suffered some really severe burns on his body and he like took a step away from social media.
Bob the Drag Queen

Monet X Change
That's not true. First of all, Jacob does not want me to pop the question. Jacob doesn't like that.
Bob the Drag Queen
But Jake. Okay, so Jacob and he's gonna pop in now. Jacob and I have chatted, and Jacob doesn't want you to surprise him, but Jacob is like, what's good, Miley?
Monet X Change
Okay, first of all, me and Jacob had our conversations about okay, but he
Bob the Drag Queen
didn't want to say this to you. Jacob confided in me. I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you, Jacob.
Monet X Change
First of all, Jacob and I talk. Jacob would not. Jacob wouldn't do that to me. Also, someone online said, never say not my man. Cause your man will never all over. Don't say my man would never. Cause man will never, ever all over your face, honey. And, baby, I learned that one time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Ah, that is funny. That is funny.
Monet X Change
I already learned that. Don't ever say my man would never. Cuz, baby, did you have an ants in your pants, y'?
Bob the Drag Queen
All. This has been fumbling around this damn hotel room since we got on this call happening.
Monet X Change
No, no, no, no, no, no. Jacob, am I lying?
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob, am I lying?
Monet X Change
No, let. Let me. Let me speak. Let me. Let me talk my shit. First of all, what happened was I had to reset up my. Because I took my whole setup down. I took it to New Jersey, to Mitch's house, and then I came back to Brooklyn, where I am now, and I had to set it up. But since we've been recording, I've been sitting down. I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't say since we recorded. I said, for the last half hour, this nigga been bobbing up around this damn little square. If I see y'. All. If I see this nigga get up one more time. This nigga, he on the floor. He sitting on the chair. He getting the cushion, he getting the disc. He gonna get a screw, he getting the cord.

Bob the Drag Queen
You know when Mom. Mom just want the kids to sit down.
Jacob
Sit down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Stop kidding. Sit down.
Monet X Change
I gotta. Sit your ass down. Sit your ass down somewhere. Either sit your ass down or sit down somewhere.
Bob the Drag Queen
I wish I could take a full. I wish I could, like. I wish Black Mirror was real. I could. I. You could take out a memory. I just want to go back to Lil. To Lil Bob. And this call will gather you, because I know you were. I just.
Monet X Change
I was a great child.
Bob the Drag Queen
You were great, but I know you were a handful. You've admitted you were a handful. You were like, if I had a kid like me, I would go crazy.
Monet X Change
Jacob said he'd be uncomfortable with. With me raising my voice at our children.
Jacob
That is. That is not what I said.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, Jacob, get her.
Monet X Change
Well, what did you say?
Jacob
I said, if you hear a noise from the. What?
Shannon Maldonado
What?
Jacob
What?
William from England
What?
Jacob
What is the situation where you would say to a child, sit your ass down?
Monet X Change
Wait, Jacob, say it again.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Say.
Monet X Change
Jacob, just say, sit your ass down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Say it one more time. Say it One more time.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Say it.
Jacob
I said it once.
Monet X Change
So the scenario is, if I'm in the kitchen and I have, like, let's say, two kids, which I only want to have one kid, and they're in the other room and I hear something, especially if there's more than one kid. If Little Kevin Jr. And Bobby Jr. Are hanging out and I hear something, and I hear something fall, the first thing I'm yelling is, sit down. Sit down in there.
Jacob
That is not what you said.
Monet X Change
Sit y' all asses down in there. I can come in and assess what's going on, because kids are gonna try to do their little detective work and try to cover shit up. So first, the first thing is sit y' all asses down. Then I can come in and see what's going on. Sit y' all asses. Dad.
Bob the Drag Queen
You have all permission to tell my kid to sit his ass down or her ass down or their ass down. You have all my.
Monet X Change
Because I wanted to name my child Bobby. I think I thought of a lot of names, and I really like the name Bobby
William from England
Vob.
Monet X Change
You can bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, you can. Or, like, you can be juniors or whatever. And I know it's not your legal name, your stage name, but that's.
Monet X Change
I think Bobby's a great. Bobby's is gender neutral. It's a cute name. And they can be like, what is Bobby short for? And they'll be like, my name is just Bobby. My name is actually Bobby.
Bob the Drag Queen
But people will make a nickname. Like, that's just how that goes. Like, no matter what your name is, it's like, nicknames.
Monet X Change
I'm not trying to stop nicknames. I just like for my child's name to be Bobby.
Bob the Drag Queen
Your name could be K. People just calling you.
Monet X Change
I don't mind nickname. If the child wants a nickname, they can have a nickname. But I like the name Bobby Jacob. Thoughts on Bobby?
Jacob
Um, I'm. You know, it's a conversation.
Monet X Change
Fronting on this mother was. You didn't like my other name?
Bob the Drag Queen
What's the other one?
Monet X Change
Genevieve.
Bob the Drag Queen
Genevieve. Not the cackle. The auto book. That is a medieval lady.
Jacob
Genevieve is a medieval witch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Genevieve. Genevieve.
Jacob
Genevieve is who you go talk to in 1600 if you're trying to get an abortion.
Monet X Change
Well, you said you didn't like the name Genevieve, so I chose the name
Bob the Drag Queen
like, what in the witcher. That is a witcher. Shit.
Monet X Change

Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God.
Jacob
Taken by somebody very famous. And if they ever do anything,
Monet X Change
use a blues musician. Right?
Jacob
But this person's name is going to come up before them for a very long time of their career.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's also my. That's also your name in my phone. You're Bobby Caldwell on my phone.
Monet X Change
If Michael B. Jordan can do it, then.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right, we just. We got to do advice. We have to give advice.
Monet X Change
Also. I probably got his Caldwell Ritz.
William from England
Hey, Bob and Minet. This is William from England. I just wanted to ask a question. I am bottom. So how. How do people get the bottom ready all the time, every single day? Because I'm just never in there. I probably have sex, like, once and once a month. Maybe once every couple of months. I'm just not that inclined. I'm not that type of person to be jumping on every dick. But I want to be. That's who I want to be in life. I want to be jumping on every dick every single day. But I just. I'm never ready. So, like, do you guys have any, like, I don't know, preparations or instead of just, like, douching before to make sure you're clean, do you? Because I eat a lot of funny stuff as well, and I like spicy food, so I'm just never really in the mood to bottom. But I need to, like, get a better diet, I suppose, to bottom more. So would. Would you suggest drinking a lot more water and yogurt the day before or
Bob the Drag Queen
what would your suggestions be? Look at the stage.
Tyrone
Annie.
Bob the Drag Queen
Annie Dickle.
Jacob
Do.
Monet X Change
First of all, do teas not exist in the uk?
Bob the Drag Queen
Tea.
Jacob
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, but
Monet X Change
okay, first of all, I got to say, there are some bottoms who are. I'm not a bottom. There is. I have bottoms. There are some bottoms in These streets who are. It is so much of their life and their lifestyle that they change their diet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, that is true.
Monet X Change
They are taking fiber multiple times a day. They are preparing before they go out to the club, just in case they get a little.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't.
Monet X Change
But first of all, you might want to just consider your diet and some fiber pills. That's a great place to start. Fiber, by the way. Okay. In my opinion, you're probably better off taking a powder than a pill.
Bob the Drag Queen
The powder is way better than the pill.
Monet X Change
You have to take, like. And only because the pills are usually more expensive. You have to take like 20, not 20. I'm being a little. But it's like six.
Bob the Drag Queen
You take. You take. No, you have to take 12 a day. You take six in the morning, six pills in the morning, six pills at night. Yeah.
Monet X Change
Because that's literally a spoonful of Metamucil.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So I'm on the Metamucil. I take three tablespoons of Metamucil in the morning, three tablespoons of Metamucil at night. And I think that that gives me. Right, like, to be honest, like, tmi. Tmi. And I do. But if I, like, I take so much Metamucil that I don't even have to wipe. If I don't have to want to. After I take a poo, I can. Because it'd be a bitch. I'm like. It's like, whoop. It's just clean as a whistle. But that's also. That's adding a lot of fiber to your diet. That is adding a lot of fiber.
Monet X Change
You are.
Bob the Drag Queen
You were like, I don't know the math, the mathematics, the schematics on that, but you are upping your fiber intake by a lot. Having three tablespoons in the morning and three tablespoons at night also, you don't want to start there. You want to gradually get there. Because if you're not used to taking that much fiber and you just do that, you can get really constipated. So don't go in like. And again, this is not medical advice. We are not doctors. We are not a.
Monet X Change
You're the only one giving this advice.
Jacob
I have a question.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Jacob
Because I'm. I'm. I'm a fiber pill girl. So when you're taking the powder, do you just, like, mix it into water?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, water.
Monet X Change
Metamucil is orange flavored.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. They used to have the unflavored one, and they stopped making that, which. I prefer the unflavored one better. I Don't really love the wood. Orange one.
Jacob
Gotcha. So you drink orange Metamucil 20 twice a day?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. Three tablespoons in the morning, three tablespoons at night. That seems like a lot. It is a lot. But I'm telling you. Well, I also built up to that. Like, when I started.
Monet X Change
Please don't tell us again. We heard you. Please don't tell us again.
Bob the Drag Queen
I built up to that. When I first started taking Metamucil, I would do just like one scoop in the morning with a glass of water. And then I realized over time, I needed to add more fiber.
Monet X Change
The fans gathered you because we.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, God. What?
Monet X Change
Because when we're talking about Julietta. Julietta, you girl, the fucking accent. You said Juliet. I saw Julieta Twitter.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did I say that?
Monet X Change
I saw Julieta Twitter. I said, oh, my. Not shaggy, not Mr. Bombastic.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, so. And yeah, I agree with Bob. Like, I know some bottoms, like, I don't change my diet. I eat what I want. I don't. Like, they have some bottoms, like, when they know or they're going to take a particularly large penis or whatever. They don't.
Monet X Change
Even if they don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, they just be red D. Yeah. And like, I don't. I don't. Back when I was a woman of the world, I wasn't like, douching before I went out. I'm like, bitch, if I'm going out, you going and you gonna wait till. Like, I didn't oftentimes go and get dick out of the club, though. Like, I would, like, go on an app and I would know what I was getting into. Like, I rarely. And if I was hooking up with someone from the club, I wasn't bottoming, bitch, we're your sucky sucky or something else.
Monet X Change
Or Mone's like, nigga, you play in the mud, you gonna get dirty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right? I was never a prep before. A girl, all type of girl. I think that is very impressive. And those people who do that work. But that has never been my. That has never been my ministry whatsoever.
Monet X Change
All right, so, yeah, I would start with some fiber and maybe just considering your diet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah.
Monet X Change
Like, how much fucking Nando's are you eating?
Bob the Drag Queen
That Peri Peri. That Peri Peri is very, very good.
Monet X Change
Maybe switch to the Tesco's meal deal. They have some very bland also. You won't have any problems finding bland food in London.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, Bob, there's a Nando's in Chicago.
Monet X Change
I had heard.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's.
Monet X Change
I was.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's so good.
Monet X Change
By the way. You cannot make fun of the bland. If you make fun of the bland food in the uk, they go straight for school shootings. Do you know that's kind of their thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God.
Monet X Change
God. That's the thing. If you go, y food is bland. Yeah. Well, at least our schools getting throw up. It's a whole. It's a whole thing. On Tik Tok, it's like, oh, my God, you guys, like have these little doors. They're so funny. Well, at least our schools aren't looking like Call of Duty. It's like all I did was make fun of some mushy peas. This. This feels. And they. They go far too. They were like. I'd be like, man, yeah. Like, y' all got these old ass builders. Well, at least we didn't have slavery. And I'm like, oh.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I'd be like, and you did.
Monet X Change
It was like 0 to 100.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. All right, next question. Hi, ladies. My name is Sam, and I'm an 18 year old from Chicago. I'm getting into the gay scene here, and I'm interested in maybe going to a bathhouse or going cruising, but I'm not sure what the rules are. And like, how do I know somebody is interested? How do I turn somebody down politely? What should I know before I go? As a resident bathhouse whore, I think I should go first here. So bathhouses are very interesting. I find bathhouses to be a fun place to have fun and explore. And you can also meet a lots of different types of guys. And I think that's, that's like, where like, I kind of found, like, in my older age, like, what other things I was interested in, interested in, or attracted to that I didn't know I was. Cause it was open season at the bathhouse. So the first time I went to bathhouse, it was when I was before Drag Race. I was booked to do Berlin nightclub in Chicago. And I'd heard about this bathhouse theme works there, and I was like, ooh. So after my gig, I went with my suitcase. D drag at the club, had my suitcase, and I rolled up to Steamworks and I'm in line. It's a Saturday night. Berlin is a Saturday night gig. It's like Saturday night, like one o' clock in the morning, I pull up to the Steamworks in my suitcase, not knowing, do not do what I do. Not knowing that they have to check your things. So I go up to the door and I'm like, hey, I want to come into Steamworks and They're like, okay, I pay my, like, $39, and I go in, and they're like, wait, before you go in, we need to check your bags. So I pull out, like, my little satchel, and they're like, no, no, no. We need to check your suitcase. When I tell you a line of faggots behind me, they open up my suitcase, and the wigs, the shoes, the glitter, the makeup that popped out like, merry goddamn poppets. I was so embarrassed because everyone saw all my fucking shit anyway. And at bathhouses, it's really open season. I think you have to really glee you feel what's going on, right? Like, everyone's looking at you. You go in and put your little towel on, and you walk around, and you have to, like, just read the room. When someone makes extended eye contact with you, and they are, like, nudging their head towards your penis or like. Or, like. Or, like, walk or. Another thing people do is they walk past you. And as they walk past you, they'll, like, glide their hand on your leg or glide your hand on their butt or glide your hand on their crotch. And that's like, until this kind of, oh, I'm trying to hook up with you. And now if someone does that and you're not interested, a polite thing to do is kind of like, as they go to graze your leg, you just politely be like, and they get it. Oh, he's not interested. And they'll move on. Now, you will have the occasional very, very persistent person that does not take no for an answer, and you just kind of have to just keep on. Like, you just get more and more aggressive, right? The first time just like a this. Second time is like, more like a this. The second time's more like, hey, I'm not interested. I'm like, let them know. But you can. You can. Normally, after the first one, people, like, they get it, and they will move on. But bathhouses are a really fun place to explore and have fun and do different things and engage in group sexual activity. Or you can be by yourself. It's like a whole little smorgasbord of different sexual things you can do at a bathhouse.
Monet X Change
A certain queen told me that she was at steamworks, and let's just say there was a gentleman behind her. And then she was looking at this other, like, twinkie guy who had a gentleman behind him, but they were facing each other.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, wait. Okay, she's looking at. There's somebody behind her.
Monet X Change
And she seems like, behind her, like, about, like, negative eight inches Away.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh God. Okay. So much. Okay.
Monet X Change
So getting fucked and then there's someone right across doing the exact same scenario right across. And they're looking at each other and it seems like really hot. And in the middle he just goes. I have to say, I just loved you on Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wor. Of course. Yeah. Bob, you've never been to like. Okay, I know you've never been. Have you ever been curious to go?
Monet X Change
No. I have noted that I go to the bathhouse. I have no desire.
Tyrone
Why?
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I ask why, why, why is that?
Monet X Change
I just don't want to be naked around a bunch of people. I don't like the idea of being rejected, especially in front of a lot of people. And I don't like the idea of having to reject someone in front of a lot of people. You know what I mean? And I also just feel like people in there just kind of low key aren't wearing condoms. And I just don't know that that's my ministry.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh yeah, they're not, they're people not wearing condoms. I mean, when I have, I've never been fucked in a bathhouse. I have fucked someone and I had a condom on, but I've never been analyte. Penetrated in the bathhouse. I had penetrated someone.
Monet X Change
Monet fucked you in a bathhouse. She was not wearing a condom.
Bob the Drag Queen
Please comment board.
Monet X Change
We're going to get the problem with it. So first of all, an 18 year old Chicago man, I want to say I don't think you can go to a bathhouse. I think you're too young to go to a bathhouse. No, I think you can, I think
Bob the Drag Queen
you can do 18 because they don't serve alcohol at a bathhouse.
Monet X Change
And can you google the age limit of Steamworks?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah.
Monet X Change
But cruising is a whole different thing now. Cruising, there's, there's no, there's, there's no alcohol, there's no establishment. There's.
Jacob
It's just, you know, teamwork is 18 and up.
Monet X Change
Yeah, 18 and up work. Cruising is. I have never cruised either. I have never really. I mean, I'm like on the streets, but never at a cruising site. Never like the Rambles or the Meat Rack. What about the Train or the, or the, I mean like in public I've seen a guy and been like, let's go do a thing. But I've never gone to a cruising site like the, like the Dick Dock in P Town, the Rambles in Central park or the, or the Meat Rack in Fire Island. I've never gone to an actual cruising site and, like, hung out with it also. I just. I just don't want anyone, like, Bob the Drag Queening me at these establishments. Like, it just doesn't feel like it'd be great. Someone once sent me a picture of myself at a bathhouse. Like, I was on a poster at a bathhouse.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah.
Monet X Change
Making a face. Like. Making a face like, clean up your mess. I was like, it's a picture of me. I don't need that in my life.
Bob the Drag Queen
I haven't been to a bathhouse situation since Drag Race. Like, since. The last time I went to a bathhouse was before Drag Race. Cause of that same experience.
Monet X Change
But you engaged in some wild behavior. You were sending nudes after Drag Race. Naomi said she did too.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I said nudes at the Drag Race. But if I send a nude, it was like, someone that. Again, I don't know this person that well, but I would. I felt pretty certain that it wasn't going to be that type of vibe. And again, they could have surprised me and they could have put my shit everywhere. But I haven't been wrong yet. I've never seen the new to mine out that I didn't put out myself.
Jacob
I. I feel like you told me a story about going to a bathhouse in Puerto Vallarta with a friend, and it was.
Bob the Drag Queen
That was. He met pretty much that was post Drag Race. That was pre Drag Race, because we used to travel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But. Yeah.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Yeah.
Monet X Change
I don't. To be honest, I don't have a lot of advice to give you in terms of cruising, because I've. I've never really done it except, like, cruising someone on the streets, but never in a cruising site or a. I wouldn't know what they're doing about. I'd be looking crazy as hell.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob, you're right. I went. When dejuan and I went to Puerto Rico, we did go to the bathhouse in Puerto Rico. Well, not a bathhouse. It was a dark room at the club, I think, like, Club X Puerto Rico in Puerto Rico. And I think it was like, Club X or something like that. And when I tell you, Bob, there are dark rooms, and this place was so dark, you cannot see your hand like this in front of you. It is the. And then, like, you walking around, and I was like, let me just go see what it's like back there. And when I tell you, it's just. First of all, it smelled like shit. I mean, someone didn't do their business. And, like, I did go down to touch a penis. And it was wet. And I was like, yeah, you know what? I'm good. And I just. That was the last. You rubbed your eye. I'm just kidding you.
Monet X Change
I've been in several dark rooms. You and I have worked in bars that have dark rooms. And then one of the bars we used to work at used to have a dark room. They turned the. You know, they turned the kitchen of that bar that we. That. That you and I both worked with. That With.
Bob the Drag Queen
With the rapey.
Monet X Change
Yeah, they turned the kitchen into a dark room. So I went in there, and while
Bob the Drag Queen
they cooking the food.
Monet X Change
No, there's no kitchen anymore. The kitchen's gone. Oh.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was like, nah, this is next level.
Monet X Change
And the dark room's also apparently shut down. But me, Mitch, and Kennedy walk through the dark room. Kennedy.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, it's so wild to me that lesbians just do not have the same thing with sex that gay men do. I mean, so many, like, bathhouses and stuff Is such a gay men thing. Like, there's just not a lesbian or female or people. There's not that equivalent. Why is that? Why are men so horny and sexy?
Monet X Change
You know, I'm gonna try to answer this question as diplomatically as possible, but someone once told me that the glass of metal on the other side makes you more horny. Like, I know people who have started, you know, using testosterone as their hormone, as hrt, their hormone replacement therapy, and they're like, testosterone just makes you horny. I'm not saying that all people who have more testosterone are all hornier, but I do know that a lot of people who are on HRT for testosterone or who are on some sort of blockers to block testosterone have. Have been like, testosterone just makes you more horny.
Bob the Drag Queen
You mean block estrogen to get more testosterone?
Monet X Change
Some people do testosterone blockers and take estrogen.
Bob the Drag Queen
And estrogen makes them more horny.
Monet X Change
No, they're saying that. That the testosterone. When they were. When they had more testosterone, they were more horny.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, God. I got it, got it, got it.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Testosterone. Dudes just be like, anyway. Yeah.
Monet X Change
And. And I know. Yeah. In that wild. They're like, no, you don't even know. It just makes you a lot hornier. You just want to get fucked all the time or have sex all the time or top all the time. Whatever you want to do, it makes you want to do it nonstop all the time.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know those bottoms that are, like, insatiable bottoms that just. That they just love getting fucked and they love getting railed, and they just. They Love doing it all day long and having been at a hotel and having just a door open and just.
Monet X Change
We used to work with one. Oh, yes, Monet told us.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, but I know who you talking about the other way. Who you talking about? She was. Bitch.
Monet X Change
She was at the same place with the same place.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was wild.
Monet X Change
He was so hot. Remember dating that ballet dancer?
Jacob
You remember that?
Bob the Drag Queen
I do remember that now. That ballet dancer was fucking hot.
Monet X Change
I mean, he himself was insane. You know, I was upset. He was beautiful.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. He's very mature, Tea.
Monet X Change
Yeah, he got. He got really muscly when I was like, you are swole.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Toned.
Bob the Drag Queen
She got wild. She got wild, girl.
Tyrone
She.
Bob the Drag Queen
She had a psychotic brick. Anyway, let's move on before we start to draw. She moves to where
Monet X Change
to? You know, I don't. I don't want to say where she.

Where.
Monet X Change
Where he's from, because they don't know, really.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Oh.
Monet X Change
Back to his home state.
Bob the Drag Queen
Got it, got it, got it, got it.
Jacob
Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways
Bob the Drag Queen
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.
Shannon Maldonado
Give it a try.

Tyrone
Hey, Bob and Monet. My name is Tyrone, I am 34 and I am from Jamestown, New York. I'm a Patreon. So. Hey, niggas, what up? Listen, I wanted to ask. I'm probably re asking a question that you probably have probably gotten before, but I have recently shaved my head, I have went bald, and I am continuing to shave my head. I have been experiencing some razor bumps and razor burn on a few areas of my head. And if you could just tell me, what do you guys shave with? What is your head shaving routine to kind of help me out in my everyday routine. So it'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys so much. Love you.
Monet X Change
Bye. I don't want to upset Monat, but I'm gonna stand up to get my phone so I can give you Monet. You're not gonna be mad if I stand up, are you?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yo, this nigga will not sit Down. This nigga will not sit his ass down.
Monet X Change
Well, I wanna give him the exact name and I wanna say we'll post the. I ain't post. Honestly, if we post this link, we should do like an Amazon shop link. Cause I ain't giving Bezos no money without me getting some money too. But go ahead, Monique. I'm gonna look for this thing that I have.
Bob the Drag Queen
So. Yeah, so my routine, I have. So I use the tea outliner clippers and like, it's the one that they would, they would use at the. When, when, when you had hair when they would like line you up. It's the, it's. It's the, it's the light gray one. The Andis T outliner clippers. I use those to shave my head right now. If my hair. And it's. And if you have like, more than like, I would say, I don't know how to call it. If you have like a lot of hair, you can't use that to shave your head. But if you're like pretty low, you can use that to get your hair clean. Then after that, I go in with one of those foil razors, shavers, the long ones, the one with two rows of foil, and I use that to smooth my hair out. And that's what I use to shave. Because when I first started shaving, I went in with a normal Gillette straight razor. And when I tell you the way I broke out on my head at I was 25, whatever, whatever age it was, it really broke me out and I was like freaking out. I was like, oh my God, am I doomed to live this existence? Every time I shave my head and have this, like, I'm gonna tell you, it was so bad. So I started using the tea outliners to get my hair. To get the hair really low. And I used the foil razors. Either the ones with the circles or the bars, they both work for me and they don't irritate me. And I shaved my hair with that. After that I go in with tend skin. You can find tend skin at any beauty supply store. You can look at it on Amazon. I go in with 10 skin and I put it on my hands, I rub it up and I go over my head and wherever I shaved and that. And it burns a little bit, but it acts as an anti ingrown hair solve and it prevents me from getting ingrown hairs and razor bumps. Likewise, if you are into. I don't know about your head. Well, we're talking about head, not talking about shaving. I Also got laser hair removal. Like, from hair docs. I would get ingrown hairs a lot here. And when I got laser hair removal here, it stopped happening. So that's my tips and tricks for shaving.
Monet X Change
Okay. I have very. I mean, when I say I have very kinky, very nappy, very, very, very. Like, my hair is as kinky as hair can be. Like, I can't even. I cannot overstate enough how kinky my hair is. So I have a really hard time with. I can't use any foil on my head because if I do, I get all these bumps back here. It gets really, really bad. I use something called the Wahl titanium. No, the is Wahl Wahl is the brand stainless steel lithium ion 2.0 slate beard trimmer for men. This is a game changer for me. This. This has got me as, like, as close to a, like, squeaky, squeaky as I've been since I used a razor on my head years and years and years ago. I cannot recommend this enough. Again, is the Wal stainless steel lithium ion 2.0 slate beard trimmer. It is a little bit expensive. It's about $79, but it is. And it holds a charge for ever. This thing will hold a charge for so long. Also, congratulations on letting go of the ghost. Listen, when you start losing your hair, some people hold on too long. That's their business. Longer than I would have. Longer than I would have done. You're going to save so much money on hair. Haircuts and haircuts. But also something I learned too. When you wash, you still need to wash, shampoo your head and condition your scalp. You still have to condition your scalp. So again, then when you get in the shower, just rub some conditioner and leave it there for a little bit and then rinse the conditioner off. Just because you're bald, that mean you have to stop conditioning your scalp.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's also skin up there too. So you should also, you still need some moisturizer. Like, it's still skin. You still wanna hydrate the skin up there and take care of it. Cause bitch is exposed. And also what I learned this too. Bitch. You go out in the sun for a long time, you will get sunburned. I get sunburned on my head all the time. If I do not put sunblock on my head, if I'm gonna be out in the sun for a while.
Monet X Change
I've never had a sunburn in my life ever. Not even one time, ever.
Bob the Drag Queen
Once gag, I get sunburned.
Monet X Change
Should we make a shop link you know, should we make a shop link?
Bob the Drag Queen
We should. That's a good idea, Bob.
Monet X Change
We can each make our own little shop link. Jacob, you don't have to do that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are we gonna do a sibling rivalry shop link?
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
I don't know.
Monet X Change
Does it work like that?
Jacob
Yeah. I mean, I think so. I can figure it out.
Monet X Change
We'll figure it out. Anyway, what's our next question?
Indigo B. Stone
Hi, Bob and Monet. My name is Indigo B. Stone. I'm a young drag queen. Monet, I just did a gig with you recently at Drake. It was so amazing. Thank you so much for that amazing experience. My question for you is, I've been doing drag for about four years, and I'm constantly getting asked by almost everyone in my life to either put them in drag or be their drag mother. And it's so exhausting. Sometimes I don't oftentimes know how to answer. Sometimes I say, oh, I'm not really a good makeup artist. I only know how to do my own makeup. Or if people ask me to be their drag mother, I say, my tubes are tied. I have too many. But I don't really know how to deal with people constantly asking. And I know for a fact you both have dealt with a lot of that. So do you have any advice for when people ask those annoying questions?
Monet X Change
You know, I am very honest, and I find that it helps me get through my day. When I just say stuff like, I don't like putting people in drag. It brings me no joy. I don't love putting people in drag. Did you guys know I don't even put people in drag when we're here and we don't even hide it. I don't do their makeup. I don't do their hair. I help them with. I help them create their number, but I do not. I don't. I don't get any joy out of putting makeup on other people. That's not true. Every once in a while, it can be fun if we're doing something campy and silly and fun, but, like, for the purpose of, like, helping you feel your juju fantasy, I'm like, you know, maybe you need to figure that on your own. Even my own drag kids, I didn't really. I mean, I may have painted a few of their faces once or twice. I think I painted Lily Heavenly's face, her first time doing drag. Miz Cracker's face, her first time doing drag. And that's it. All my other drag kids did it on their own. You did, Nick, and you know who.
Jacob
Nick Smith.
Monet X Change
I Did Nick's makeup one time, a long time ago. And I'm also like, it's just being a drag mom, something I take very seriously. And I'd be like, I don't really have. I genuinely don't have time to commit to being your drag mom. And I take being a drag mom very, very serious. That's something I say to people a lot, too.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I agree. I'm the same. I do not like putting people in drag. I don't get fun. There are some people who love doing it. Some girls love putting people in makeup. I do not enjoy that. It's not my thing in drag. And I'll say, girl, I do not like putting makeup on people. I am not. You saw me. It almost sent me home on season 10. I'll make a joke like that or something like that. And as far as being someone's drag mom, I just say, I don't want any kids. I would say, I don't want any kids. And then make a. Oftentimes something like that. I'll just make a joke after it. I was like, I don't want no kids. And blah, blah, blah. Skip the blah.
Monet X Change
The reason why I don't make jokes is because then they, like. If you say something like, I'm not good at makeup, they'll go, I don't care. I like your makeup. But when you say, I don't, I get no joy from putting in makeup, and I do not want to do it. Then they can't be like, I don't mind. You're making it clear I mind. I don't want to put you in. I do not want to put anyone in makeup. I genuinely don't like it.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's also a thing of when you're at the gym and someone's like, can I have a hug? And I'm like, I'm really sweaty. I'm like, I don't mind, bitch. I didn't say you. I don't care what you like, bitch. I don't want to hug you because I'm wet.
Monet X Change
That's why I say stuff like, I'm not interested in Monet's seen this. I just tell people straight up. But I don't think I'm mean with it. I just say stuff like, I don't like the word blunt because blunt feels like an excuse for someone who is mean and acts like they're not mean. But I think that I am very direct with my words. But I don't think I'm mean, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can be. I think that oftentimes you're direct, but sometimes it can come off mean for sure.
Monet X Change
Like when?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like if you're like if we're at the airport or something and someone wants a picture and you're like, I'm not interested.
Monet X Change
I didn't say that. You never heard me say to someone at the airport, I'm not interested in thinking about it. I feel like I have.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you said that to me. So, Monet, I might just take a picture with you.
Monet X Change
Sometimes I'll say it is too early. It's too early. See, who's that in the morning.
Bob the Drag Queen
That feels mean.
Monet X Change
I'll say it's no. If I'm there, it's like 6am and I go. I say it's too early. And I don't want that picture of me floating around on the Internet anywhere. I don't want you to have that picture. I don't want it to be private. I do not want. I don't. I'm not.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's this. It's this. The hand feels very. The hand feels very threatening. You can say all that if you say all that. Yes. Cause your big ass hand. I'm looking at this camera. Your hand look like it's about to eclipse my face.
Monet X Change
Oh, when you think, what do you think your hand look like coming toward the camera, honey, Look.
Bob the Drag Queen
Look at his little hand.
Monet X Change
You are Kenya Michaels. Look at his little hand. George's. You want to put them fucking catcher's mitts down, bitch? Bobby.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause it'd be like, it'll be like a five year old girl. They'd be like, bob, can I have a picture? I don't want a back picture.
Monet X Change
Making up tin hair. That should never happen. Waving his big ass hand.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's probably twice the size of her body. Like, I'm not.
Monet X Change
I'm not.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't want this picture of me.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Me.
Monet X Change
You are making up a scenario that has never happened. Mon has never seen me at the airport at 6am Waving my hands at a 5 year old.
Bob the Drag Queen
Imagery. I've seen this imagery.
Monet X Change
I have. I have told people that I don't want. I have told people that I want to hug them. And I have told people that I don't want to take a picture if I don't want to take a picture. But you know, that's. But I'm also. I just. I don't avoid. I don't look at this conversation, but I don't avoid conversation. I don't want to suffer so that someone else doesn't feel bad. Like, I don't want to feel bad so that you don't feel bad. I prioritize myself.
Bob the Drag Queen
The cliff is going around when we had the I don't forget what argument it was and it's a cliff of you. Like I will. I will. So, like I will.
Monet X Change
I will. I will consider you, but I will prioritize myself. I will always consider you, but I will always prioritize myself. No, it's good.
Bob the Drag Queen
But it was just. It just cracks me up.
Monet X Change
I just want to remind you all. While Monet's laughing about me, go look up the fans reaction to Monet at dragcon uk. I always bring that thread back whenever. Whenever I need to sprinkle in a little truth about Monet and the way she treats her fans. Yeah, yeah, honey, I'm mean, I mean them fans grab money about the sponges. Honey.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm gonna get a little six year old Shelby to give a confessional about you.
Monet X Change
I've never been mean to a six year old. Maybe when I was six. Maybe the last time I was mean to a six year old, I was six. I was also six.
Bob the Drag Queen
And to be fair, according to you, you were six feet tall too. Six years old. I was tall.
Monet X Change
Six, two in seventh grade.
Bob the Drag Queen
That, that is crazy.
Monet X Change
But I was. When I was six, I was about £100, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know if that's a lot or a little bit.
Monet X Change
The Average kindergarten is 45 pounds. You double the size of a kindergarten. I was 95 pounds in kindergarten.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know I'm laughing. I probably was too. I was always a big kid, so I probably would. I probably had a buck 20 on you, girl.
Jacob
Do you know how much you weigh when you were born?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't.
Jacob
I was wondering if you knew how much you weighed when you were born.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't. I have no idea.
Monet X Change
Let me call my mother and ask her.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow, must be nice. Damn cold ass.
Monet X Change
Why can't you call your mother? Because I don't know what she asked. I mean, but you're damn cold ass, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not by flaunting it.
Monet X Change
Not June. Monet. Oh my God.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Hello?
Monet X Change
Did I wake you up, Ma?
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
No, you didn't wake me up. What's going on?
Monet X Change
I'm doing a podcast. I have a quick question for you.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Okay.
Monet X Change
How much did I weigh when I was born?
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
6lbs and some ounces.
Monet X Change
That's a small baby, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but then I got. I was, you remember? I was. I was thick and dense and I was 95 pounds in kindergarten.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Were you?
Bob the Drag Queen
I was.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
You was you. You didn't look back. You look like a thick kid.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I was solid.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
He was solid.
Monet X Change
Hard to push over.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you. Can you. Can you. Can you ask Ms. Caldwell how, how. How many ounces and pounds I was when I was born?
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Little lightweight baby. Like I told you, I just have to. When you was five years old, I had to make you walk to the bed.
Monet X Change
I remember one. I remember wanting my mom to get to hold me. I remember, like, one day, I'm just yelling, boy, you too big, Chris. You are too big.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's hilarious. That's hilarious.
Monet X Change
I fix your mom.
Bob the Drag Queen
Be like, oh, you gotta walk to bed. I can't put you to bed.
Jacob
Well, I remember.
Monet X Change
I specifically remember that me and my mom. That's Monet for the podcast.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hi, Ms. Caldwell.
Monet X Change
I also specifically remember me and my mother wearing the same shoe size when I was in third grade. Me and my mom.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
I don't know if you. In third grade. You might have been, like, in fifth grade.
Monet X Change
No, it was third grade. Because I remember it was. It was miss. It was Ms. Henley's class. And he was wearing the Sacconi. The Sacconis were cool at school.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Hold on. You were. When you was.
Monet X Change
Because you were a nine.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
I'm telling you, I can remember y' all sizes.
Jacob
Why?
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Because when you're a kid, except for you, you might have been worse. A regular shoe size. Because your foot was bigger than Justin. Because you.
Bob the Drag Queen
That was the nine and a half,
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
and you were a 12.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I remember that. I remember that my age was my shoe size from 5 to 12. Do you remember that?
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Yeah. Your age, Your shoe size?
Monet X Change
What?
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
When you 12 years old, you were wearing size 12, though.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I remember. Well, I got to finish this podcast. I love you so much, Mom.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Okay, I love you, too. Take it with you.
Monet X Change
Jacob's here. He has.
Jacob
Hey, Ms. Cubo.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Everybody there but me.
Monet X Change
You can do the podcast one day, Ma.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
No, that's all right.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm good.
Monet X Change
I love you.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
I love you, too. Just take him. I love him.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right, we'll do.
Monet X Change
Bye.
Shannon Maldonado
Bye.
Monet X Change
My mother says she loves you, Jacob.
Bob the Drag Queen
Must be nice to have a mom you can call and ask about your shoe size money.
Monet X Change
You do have a mom. A woman raised you, so give her. Put some respect on her name.
Bob the Drag Queen
Must have been nice to find out how many pounds and ounces you were
Monet X Change
when you woke up. You're ridiculous. Well, the answer. I was 6 pounds and some ounces, which is a petite little. I was giving puss, honey. I was giving puss. Mistake. How much does the average. Baby weigh 7 pounds, 6 ounces.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So you were average, aka basic.
Monet X Change
You were below average.
Bob the Drag Queen
You were below average, Honey. I was nine. Average. I was above average, Honey.
Monet X Change
On the June gave birth to a Honey baked ham. Honey. June gave birth to a Butterball turkey. Honey.
Bob the Drag Queen
That was my first drag name. Honey. Welcome to the stage. Honey. Honey Baked ham.
Monet X Change
Honey. Monae wanted to change her name to Mistake a couple of years before Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
I did, I did. And I was like, nah, I can't do that. Do you think. Do you think. I mean, do you think. Do you think I missed out on an opportunity? Do you think that would have changed my career?
Monet X Change
I mean, to be honest, what's in the name? I feel like the name of the queen doesn't matter quite as much as what she creates and what she does. You know what I mean? Like, I don't. I mean, I will say that when I change my name to Bob the Drag Queen, it did kind of do something for my career locally. But I think also I was just at a different point in my life at that time. I had just ended my show with Frosty Flakes and I had my first solo show. And then I think I did my solo show called Pretty Kitty Live when I was kidding with the whip for like a few months. And then I changed it to the Bob Show. Bob the Drag Queen, and something did take off. I think there was an intrigue of, like, what's. Why does this drag queen have this horrible name?
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, not this horrible name. No, Bob, it's a great queen.
Monet X Change
I think Monet Exchange and Mistake are similar enough that I think that you. I think you'd still be the same.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm dropping the exchange. I just want to be Monet. I just want to be a one name queen.
Monet X Change
Are you really?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I just want to drop the exchange. I just want to be Monet.
Monet X Change
Why would we be Mohar so bad?
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Jacob
It's gonna be rough to Google against. You're going up against the Painter and
Bob the Drag Queen
one of us is more famous.
Monet X Change
Do you really want to compete with the makeup and with the makeup? The painter?
Bob the Drag Queen
The makeup.
Monet X Change
Isn't there a makeup brand called Monet?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, no. There's bomo with Bob and Monet, but there's not. There's nothing.
Monet X Change
Yeah, Monet Beauty.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's no Monet Beauty.
Monet X Change
Google it. Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bob Lilly generates Bob. You just made this website. You just did his website.
Monet X Change
I did not make that website. Monet. You always swear I'm doing something in these streets.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. There is A Monet beauty. What the fuck?
Monet X Change
You don't want to compete. You don't want to compete with the painter Monet. You can't compete. I mean, he's not making anything new. You know what I mean? You don't want to compete with that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. Why did I choose this name?
Monet X Change
What's wrong with Monet X Change.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just don't want to be exchanged anymore. I just want to be Monet.
Monet X Change
Can you articulate why?
Bob the Drag Queen
Just because, I mean, I'm just tired of going by Monet Exchange. I just want to be a one. I want to be a one name queen. A one word queen.
Monet X Change
I mean, people call you Monet?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Damn, bitch. You act like somebody chose the name for you. What's wrong with you? I think that if I could go back, I'd probably change my SAG name to Bob the Drag Queen.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, really?
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you not change it? Yeah, but. Yeah. Why can't you just do that?
Monet X Change
I probably will. I think that I do want to be credited as Bob the Drag Queen, even when I'm not in drag. I just like that being my name, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
And I think that when I was. When I joined Actors Equity, which I don't think I'm even a member of anymore, me and Patty, I think that I just chose it because I thought Bob the Drag Queen would look weird if I wasn't in drag, you know? But who cares? Like, that's who I am. I'm Bob the Drag Queen, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Would you ever legally. I know you don't like your. You don't like your legal first name. Would you ever legally change your name to Caldwell Tadikyu?
Monet X Change
No. Cause I like my last name being Caldwell. Me, my mom and my brother, we all have the same last name.
Shannon Maldonado
Aw.
Monet X Change
That means a lot to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not all.
Monet X Change
Oh, what happened to her? She passed away.
Jacob
Aw.
Monet X Change
I'm on Wendy Williams TikTok. I am on a Wendy Williams talk.
Bob the Drag Queen
I really. I mean. And I know she's not coming back to. I feel like we really didn't cherish Wendy when she was. And again, in all of her problematicity. And we. I know, I know. You do not need to say Monet Wendy. I know.
Monet X Change
I'm not saying it.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, not you. I'm talking to the people who like, girl, she was the. I know, but Wendy Williams was so funny. I'm obsessed.
Monet X Change
You know, I have been on these flavor packets, like, hardcore lately.
Bob the Drag Queen
What flavor packets?
Monet X Change
I think I have an addiction. What flavor packets? So, you know, I'm A crystal light queen, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Uh huh.
Monet X Change
I haven't gone deep into the world of like, flavoring your bottles of water. I have been drinking the Starburst all pink. And now I have the Skittles.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are they zero calories?
Monet X Change
Five calories?
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not bad.
Monet X Change
And now I have the Skittles versions. And I'm about to just be in these streets just buying like all of them. And they come so many to a pack.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you know what it is? They're just. It's just. It's taking us back to the Kool Aid days, but just not Kool Aid was so much sugar is bad for you. It just. Kool Aid just not as bad for you.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
You.
Monet X Change
And during the pandemic, when we were in lockdown, I was. Jacob remembers. I was. I was just chugging gallons of this stuff every day. Do you remember this, Jacob?
Bob the Drag Queen
That much of it can't be good for you, though.
Jacob
Your little mio flavored water fantasy.
Bob the Drag Queen
The Mia. Oh, God. That's when you had that little.
Ms. Caldwell (Monet's Mother)
The little.
Bob the Drag Queen
The little lick you pour in a thing of juice.
Jacob
It was a lot of crystal light. That was the big one.
Monet X Change
It was crystal. It was mostly crystal light. And I would take the packets and I had this one. I think I had a large kombucha that I emptied out that I drank. And then I would keep refilling the kombucha and just chugging it and refilling it and chugging it and refilling it and just chugging it and drinking gallons of this a day.
Bob the Drag Queen
I remember one time I came to your house, you told me this. I was like. And I said to you, do you remember this? I was like, girl, this is how you were with Crystal. I do not want to see you when you used to drink.
Monet X Change
Baby, baby, when I tell you I used to down them. Down them. I might show you one day just like. Just like a reprise.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would love that. I would love that.
Monet X Change
I'm not y'. All.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bob will get a bottle of water. First of all, I've told you this before. When you would go to Bob's old house and I would come up with a snack or a drink.
Monet X Change
Old house bitch. What I live in now, too.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bob had the standard rule. If you come to his house, you have to bring him what you got for yourself as well. So everything you buy, you buy it double. So you have it for you. And offerings to Saint Bob when you go to his fucking house as fucking tithes and offerings.
Monet X Change
Well, Monet would show up at your house. With food, okay? Just for herself. Monet would show up with one drink, one cup. Just sit in your living room and eat. Bitch.
Indigo B. Stone
Bring.
Monet X Change
You go to people's house, you bring something. The hell I bring food to your house. When I have food for me, I bring food for you, too. Do I not?
Bob the Drag Queen
Not.
Monet X Change
That's not.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not always true.
Monet X Change
If I have food for myself, I bring food for you. I never bring food just for myself.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know if that's true. We haven't been to my house in a long time, so who knows?
Monet X Change
But I bring chips for me, and I bring chips for you. I bring multiple. I bring a 2 liter or something. I don't usually come with food because, you know, I don't grocery shop or anything.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, okay, That's. That's you doing it off of your.
Monet X Change
Okay, you do that. I don't have to do that. Oh, wow. All right. Get there.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then when he showed Devon's house, I think he'd be like, monet, I
Monet X Change
can't believe you didn't bring me something to drink. Because you should bring me something like, you gonna just come to my house and just sit here? Just eat my face. Yes. That's great, Monet. That is wild.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're insane.
Monet X Change
What would your mother say if she knew you was doing that? What would your mother say?
Bob the Drag Queen
I would say, monet, tell Bob to buy his own damn food.
Monet X Change
Anyway, I love you very much.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love you, too, Bob. Bob. Okay, well, we'll talk about it next episode.
Monet X Change
What? I can't do that. I'm not hedging.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was in New York and I didn't get to see you. I'm very sad.
Monet X Change
I know. We'll talk about New
