Bob the Drag Queen
My name is bob the drag queen
Monet X Change
and I'm monet x change.
Bob the Drag Queen
And this is simply rivalry.
Monet X Change
On this week's episode, Bob defuses a tense situation on set.
Bob the Drag Queen
We talk about criticism and we find
Monet X Change
out what made Bob say this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet, first of all, was really rude on set. And we found out what made Monet say this.
Monet X Change
It was inappropriate. It did not feel good.
Bob the Drag Queen
Where's this sweater from?
Monet X Change
It's from this online company called Lala.
Bob the Drag Queen
What else? All they do is clothes.
Monet X Change
Yeah, all they do is clothes. I used to wear that like knee length sweater dress with the green dinosaurs on it. That's from them.
Bob the Drag Queen
All those stripes and like rugrats.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Those striped shorts I wear. That's from them.
Bob the Drag Queen
You should wear it with the hair of the pickles mom.
Monet X Change
Dee Dee, like the orange thing?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, that's a cute wig, I think. Honestly, her hair is kind of iconic.
Monet X Change
I realize it's kind of like a version of.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was wet sound like a little. Like a little. Someone came up with it. It was giving acid reflux.
Monet X Change
Can you name all the Telugu.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you name all the Teletubbies?
Monet X Change
All the Teletubbies, of course. Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Lala and Poe.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are they British?
Monet X Change
I mean, the guy saying singing the song was British.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La La and Po.
Jacob
Yeah, it was originally. It premiered on BBC.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh my God. Bob the Builder is British too.
Monet X Change
Is it really?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Bob the Builder. Can we fix it? Bob the Builder? Yes, we can.
Monet X Change
Paddington is British.
Bob the Drag Queen
Peppa Pig is British.
Monet X Change
Franklin is Canadian. Who?
Bob the Drag Queen
The Turtle.
Monet X Change
The Turtle.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, I believe he was pbs.
Monet X Change
Was he pbs?
Bob the Drag Queen
I believe he was pbs.
Monet X Change
Do we think the generation before had better, like which generation had the best cartoons? Obviously we're not really fully equipped to talk about.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause I don't.
Monet X Change
I mean, I watch some cartoons now. Not like I used to as a kid, obviously. So maybe I'm not well versed in this topic. So honestly, you know what? I regret asking that question.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, to just address it for a little bit, I do think that the Looney Tunes is a pretty great cartoon. Like, I think. I actually think Looney Tunes is a pretty gold standard for cartoons. The characters are really iconic. Bugs Bunny is so iconic. Yamity Sam is iconic. Foghorn Leghorn is iconic.
Monet X Change
That's the, the frog that would wake up.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, that's, that's, that's Michigan J. Frog. Foghorn Leghorn is a rooster.
Monet X Change
Oh, him. And he had the little, the little companion.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, he's. I say, I say, I say I Say. I say boy. Yeah, that's him.
Monet X Change
Well, here's the thing. Back then, I think cartoons. Porky the Pig cartoons used to do cinematic universes. Cause you had all the. All the Looney Tunes existed in the thing. Then you had all the Hanna Barbera cartoons that existed in the thing. But I feel like now they don't do houses anymore. Cartoons put the night at the House
Bob the Drag Queen
of Looney Tunes literally for the night of the House of Tunes. Give it up for Ms. Looney.
Monet X Change
Okay. And what was first? Was it the tiny toons or the Looney Tunes?
Bob the Drag Queen
Looney Tunes.
Monet X Change
And then they made tiny toons later.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
And then Animaniacs.
Bob the Drag Queen
That seems. No, no, I thought.
Monet X Change
I thought they were little ones and they grew up. I don't fucking know.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, they were big and they regressed them.
Monet X Change
Got it. And cartoons.
Bob the Drag Queen
Paw Patrol is propaganda. It is. You know it is. It is.
Monet X Change
I know. I know. I'm not saying it's not.
Bob the Drag Queen
This fucking German shepherd out here.
Monet X Change
Not a German shepherd.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's a. He's a. He's a puppy.
Monet X Change
He's not a German shepherd puppy. German shepherds have a long snout.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think he's a German shepherd.
Monet X Change
Jake, can we look this up? Is. What is. What is his name?
Bob the Drag Queen
Chase.
Monet X Change
Is Chase a German shepherd?
Bob the Drag Queen
Chase has to be a German shepherd.
Monet X Change
What breed is he?
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe he's just like a dog.
Monet X Change
No, I'm sure. Listen, when people just do these shows, they have a whole backstories about these.
Jacob
He's a German shepherd.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Really? Do you watch Paw Patrol?
Bob the Drag Queen
He looks like a German shepherd. And all. All German shepherds are cops.
Monet X Change
True.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I mean, all German shepherds.
Monet X Change
The one I had in my backyard was not a cop.
Bob the Drag Queen
He was a cop undercover. You lost another bet, by the way. That was another bet.
Monet X Change
I'm not betting.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, like you said, I bet it in my mind. I. I added. I added $18,000 in my mind.
Monet X Change
No one said that.
Bob the Drag Queen
I added it anyway.
Patty
Yeah.
Monet X Change
I feel like we don't get cinematic except for Avatar. Avatar is. I'm like, that's not true. Yeah, they kind of are making their own cinematic universe, kind of.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never seen it.
Patty
Bob.
Monet X Change
You have to get into it. There's a lot of. A lot is coming out in the Avatar multiverse, and you think I would have to get on board.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, Jacob had me watch a couple of cartoons, and I. I just didn't like them.
Monet X Change
Of Avatar?
Bob the Drag Queen
No. He had me watch the one with the big. The big people with no skin on their bodies.
Jacob
Oh, Attack. On Titan?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I didn't like it.
Monet X Change
Attack on Titan.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I wasn't into it.
Monet X Change
This is a Netflix cartoon show?
Jacob
No, it's an anime show.
Monet X Change
Oh.
Jacob
I mean, I think it is on Netflix right now, I think.
Monet X Change
But I'm not really into anime because you know what? I'm sorry. As someone who did love it as a kid, I love them. I just can't get over what Dragon Ball Z would do to us. What would it do every fucking week? The story would progress microscopically the entire episode. If the episode is 30 minutes, you had 10, nine minutes of commercials, and you had 21 minutes of
Bob the Drag Queen
maybe what?
Monet X Change
They would edge you for, like, a whole season. They were doing one a week, One episode a week. Or maybe every day after school. I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, every day. How much can you progress a story every day?
Jacob
I mean, I will say it is a really large medium of storytelling. So, like, that is one specific facet of it. But there are so many different shows of different types and genres for the
Bob the Drag Queen
fights and for the powers. It's its own thing I did, but
Monet X Change
as a kid, like, I wanted more fights than powers. Half of it was Goku. Like, for example, the whole Frieza saga, and y' all, correct me if I'm wrong, the whole Frieza saga, a majority of it was fucking Goku in the ship getting to the thing, and he's in the hyperbaric timetable trying to, like. I'm like, bitch, get to the planet already and fight Frieza. Don't want to get there. To Frieza, Frieza's too powerful. And then half of it is him trying to.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's just.
Monet X Change
I just felt like.
Bob the Drag Queen
So Goku's, like, insanely powerful, right?
Monet X Change
No, he's not insanely powerful. I mean, he is a Super Saiyan.
Jacob
They kept on, like, amping it up. So season one, he's like, I'm going to go Super Saiyan. And everyone's like, oh, he's going Super Saiyan. And then season two, he's like, I'm gonna go Super Super Saiyan.
Monet X Change
Because he's not strong enough. So he goes, super Saiyan.
Bob the Drag Queen
Super Duper Saiyan.
Monet X Change
And then after that one, now when he's fighting Majin Buu, they're like, then to get off the super Saiyan 4, not super off of it. But then the next way to power up is to do. What's the thing, Jacob? When they would. Two of them would use the earrings and Fusion.
Jacob
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. So in the Dragon Ball Z, World. You and I would fuse together and we would make bonet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, they become one person.
Monet X Change
They become one person and they fight as one unit.
Bob the Drag Queen
What would we look like if we fused together?
Monet X Change
Which is weird.
Bob the Drag Queen
Will we be between our heights or would we grow giant?
Monet X Change
Bigger.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bigger.
Monet X Change
I think let's. I think we would fuse to a nice. A solid six feet tall.
Bob the Drag Queen
So we're six feet tall.
Monet X Change
Six feet tall.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. What are our talents? Do we sing?
Monet X Change
And we sing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
And we do. And we do comedy.
Bob the Drag Queen
We have all of our talents.
Monet X Change
Yes. And we get. And we have two equal sized feet. No exploding. One.
Bob the Drag Queen
And our knees are.
Monet X Change
Our knees are titanium.
Bob the Drag Queen
How is our. How is our temperament? Are we friendly?
Monet X Change
Well, you have the mean bitch over here.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're not that mean.
Monet X Change
No, you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, excuse me.
Monet X Change
And I want to get the answer. I think we're.
Bob the Drag Queen
So how would our meet and greets go then? Because we both have meet and greet. Heat.
Monet X Change
Meet and greet heat.
Bob the Drag Queen
Heat and greet, honey. How? Money. We did a whole episode about your biggest fan and then everyone was roasting you at dragcon uk. And I've had some heat too, from the cruise. So what? So we. Our meet and greets are rough.
Monet X Change
I would say the overwhelming majority of people who have done meet and greets with me, they've been exceptionally pleasant.
Bob the Drag Queen
Same. That doesn't negate that person's experience.
Monet X Change
But that's a one experience in like a thousand.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's one. There's also all the comments from the. You keep acting like you don't remember.
Monet X Change
There's also a boat of 800 people that said that you were just the meanest bitch walking around.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
People couldn't get food because they were afraid to walk past you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So I'm not negating those things. I've never said I was particularly pleasant. That's the thing. I've never done the Ellen DeGeneres. I have never. And the people who are my fans are like, I don't know what these people expected from Bob the drag queen. People always go, they must not listen to the podcast.
Monet X Change
These people.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's no way these people listen to the podcast.
Monet X Change
Well, I want people. So they always do these fusions of like, this is the one of me and. Oh, my God, the one of me and Eureka. Monika.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monika's great.
Monet X Change
The one of you and Thorgy.
Patty
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Borgy.
Monet X Change
So can someone please do. Do one of me and Bob fuse us together. Make bonet. And I'm very curious what bonet looks like. Or bonnet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob could do it. Jacob is a Great. Photoshopper.
Monet X Change
So let's get a picture of Bonnet. Jacob, can we do it before the podcast is over or.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, probably.
Monet X Change
That's too much.
Jacob
Yeah, Give me one second. I have one.
Monet X Change
Oh, Coretta Scott King.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is this Ko Nay exchange?
Monet X Change
They didn't want to be. And Cory King.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Jacob
No, I was gonna say the fusion between the two of you is just Cory King.
Monet X Change
Oh, honestly. Honestly. Honest. King is so pretty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I agree.
Monet X Change
I was on Instagram. I was like, wow, Corey is really. And her makeup was beautiful, I think in her promo and everything.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
But, you know, the girls. The girls are the clown. Cory King for using blue eyeshadow. And so meatball's on my YouTube and she did my makeup. You know, Meatball only uses blue eyeshadow.
Bob the Drag Queen
And now that you mention it, yeah.
Monet X Change
You'd have any weird thoughts as a kid that you thought were real about your life?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I used to think. I used to convince myself that I could do the Looney Tunes walk off the cliff thing. Like, I would think to myself, if I can just not. If I can find a way to walk off of the edge of something and have. And not know where the ground ends, I will be able to keep walking on the. And I really believe I could do it.
Monet X Change
Wait, so, like, you would walk off a cliff and keep on walking?
Bob the Drag Queen
Not a cliff. I didn't live in the mountains. Or I would start with my bed, but then I would be like, no, I know where the bed. So then I would get on the bed, I would spin in a circle with my eyes closed, and then I would just walk in one direction, but then I would off. My bed was against the wall, so I would hit the wall or something like that. So I was like, I can't. I know too much. Like, I know too well where the. Where the. Where the bed ends. That's the only reason why, you know, you get the edge of the bever walking a bed. I mean. Yes, but you get to the edge, the bed starts to go down. You're like, okay, I can tell that I'm at the edge. Then I was. So then we had this. This pool house. It wasn't really pull out. It was. There was. My neighborhood had a. When I lived on Victory Drive, there was a pool in the middle of the apartment complex, Right. And there was a storage area for all the chemicals. And in that storage area, I was like, oh, I can get on top of that building and then walk off the edge of that. But I had to have a friend, like, Guide me up there with my eyes closed. And then we put a mattress that we found by the dumpster underneath it so that when I fall, I would just land on the mattress and I convinced myself I could walk off the edge.
Monet X Change
Y' all have so many resources as a kid. Where the you finding a mattress at the dumpster.
Bob the Drag Queen
You would just go on a dirty ass mattress.
Monet X Change
Y' all found about a dumpster so you can land on them safely.
Bob the Drag Queen
I used to. I used to take furniture from the dumpster all the time.
Monet X Change
That's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, you never got nothing from a dumpster?
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
You've never taken any furniture or anything from the dumpster?
Monet X Change
No. Not even off the New York City streets? Because New York City streets, you don't know where the that was at. You don't know what bedbugs wanted. You don't know what? No.
Bob the Drag Queen
How's your foot surgery going lately, by the way?
Monet X Change
How is it going?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, your foot surgery?
Monet X Change
This. I'm at the year mark and I can finally fit in close to those shoes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, the other day, you and I were wearing some. Wearing some heels and you had a closed toe shoe and you danced.
Monet X Change
I know, and it was great. Did I look in pain? Did I look anything?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you look really comfortable.
Monet X Change
It was great.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you, have you. Have you done a reveal to the world yet?
Monet X Change
I mean, not since the year.
Bob the Drag Queen
Should I prop it up here, baby, Right now. Show them, baby.
Monet X Change
No, I need another pedicure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just let them see it.
Monet X Change
No, we'll do it next.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. Just show me and I won't show them.
Monet X Change
No. Now that my feet are God tier, I feel the need to only present it to the world when they look their best.
Bob the Drag Queen
You think they're God Tier?
Monet X Change
God tier?
Bob the Drag Queen
Who else has God Tier feet?
Monet X Change
God Tier feet of people we know. Yeah. Plastique has really nice toes. Would you lick them, Vanjie? Vanjie has great feet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Would you kiss Vanjie's feet?
Monet X Change
I will kiss Vanjie's feet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is she. Is she on celebrity feet?
Jacob
I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God, yes.
Monet X Change
I don't know if I'm on wiki feet. I've seen, I've heard that. I have a good rayner on Wikifeet now, but I. Every time I'm like, oh, let me check. I forget to check.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll let you describe my foot.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you cannot show it on camera. I'm talking to Jay.
Monet X Change
Are we gonna just censor this whole area?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll just put it out here or something. I'LL just cut crop or something. Do a quick crop.
Monet X Change
I guess I'm not on Wikifeet. Maybe Jacob. Maybe check my boy name. Maybe. But no, I think it'll be under my drag name.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's so. Is that rude that they want to be on Wikifi so bad?
Monet X Change
Yes. Can I submit my own files?
Bob the Drag Queen
Just post a picture of your foot on your Instagram today, and you'll end up. Probably end up on Wikipedia. What? Bitch, that's crazy. The stuff you post on Instagram. You think a foot is crazy feet.
Monet X Change
It's a big step. I told you. I mean, I know you don't believe me. I've said this to you. Andy has nice feet.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've. I've seen Andy's feet.
Monet X Change
You don't think he has nice feet?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I think he. I think he literally looks like he has. I, I not even being funny, it looks like Fred Flintstone's feet. Like, it's a big. Like, it looks like rocks. It looks like a big. It looks rough. It looks like it just like, it looks like if he walked on a hardwood floor, it would just be sanded down. Like, the varnish would be off of it. His feet are gigantic. They're. They're, like, bulbous. They're like shapes. It's not slender. It's just a big, ugly foot. Okay, I'm. I. This is.
Monet X Change
I am not going to. You know, I will. I will ride with you and read Andy for Phil. I. As someone who see. Who sees Andy's feet every day, I disagree. And I'm going to see. I'm going to. Going to get a consent from him, and I want to put a picture of his feet in this episode. So if I got consent, y', all, these are Andy's feet right here. And you be the judge.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob has really nice feet.
Monet X Change
I think I've seen Jacob's feet maybe once or twice.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob did once get blocked on Grindr after sending a foot picture, though. Am I allowed to tell the story? Jacob.
Monet X Change
Jacob, wait. What?
Bob the Drag Queen
You want to tell your own story?
Jacob
I mean, I was talking to a man at Grindr, and he was like, can you send a foot pic? And I was like, I mean, I'm not really into it, but, like, he's like, sure, whatever. So I send him some pictures of the tootsies.
Bob the Drag Queen
Blocked.
Jacob
Done.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe it's because some people who like me, they want big feet, and Jacob has pretty small feet.
Monet X Change
Oh, when he said, I thought. You're saying Grindr, like, blocked. Like, blocked your account.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, no. Jacob got blocked on Grindr because he sent a person. Blocked him because he sent him his feet. Yeah. Is that him holding your hand?
Monet X Change
You can't really see this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is that him holding your hand in this picture? Can you make sure they get something?
Monet X Change
You're so dumb.
Jacob
Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways 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
Patty
of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12 month plan. Required $15 per month equivalent taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are your toenails white again? They're always white.
Monet X Change
These are, they're light pink, but they're two weeks old.
Bob the Drag Queen
I gotta tell you, in my humble opinion, it makes your toes look big. M. Light bright polish makes your toes look big. Darker polish makes your toes look smaller.
Monet X Change
No, I disagree. Because we do white toenails. It like,
Bob the Drag Queen
yeah, go ahead and try to frame this because, you know, you know, it doesn't make sense.
Monet X Change
It doesn't make them look bigger, but it does.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, it makes them. Monet. Putting a big white spot on your big ass toenails is going to make me look. I learned this when I, when I, when I, when I was wearing white nails, I was, I was like, oh, I want to get my nails done. I would do them in white. Whenever I see myself wearing white nails, I'm like, God, look at that big ass gorilla hand, that big catcher's mitt. The fry big man hands look like frying pans. But when I wear black and long nails, it looks so. I mean, I kind of have. Which when I do drag, I have witch hands.
Monet X Change
Yeah, you, you, you and Cynthia Revo.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Well, no, hers are flat. Mine are pointy.
Monet X Change
She does, she, she, she changes up
Bob the Drag Queen
sometimes, but she often does a flat. I never wear a flat. I always wear a, A, A sharp, long stiletto.
Monet X Change
Yeah, you're dangerous in drag. Bob had a nerve then. Bob is wearing a fucking spiky hoodie with spiky pants and be like, hey, girl. I'm like, bitch, I'm not touching you. You're dangerous. If you're in a car accident with the people in the car that you drive at the event to, you would probably kill someone.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't wear spikes that often.
Monet X Change
You wear that spiky hoodie outfit, Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
I.
Monet X Change
Several times. I cannot touch you because you have that outfit on. Are you telling me you don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can't. They fold down.
Monet X Change
Everyone in here has seen Jacob. You've hooked Bob into spiky ass outfit. Is he not a danger? They're pointy.
Jacob
I mean, it is a very spiky eye.
Bob the Drag Queen
They're sharp, girl, but they point down. They fold when you. They're not like. They're on fabrics. They just kind of go like this.
Monet X Change
No, some of them like the ones on your shoulders. Jacob is not hugging you up here. Jacob is hugging you down here. I'm hugging your pointiest part of you.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't hug my shoulders.
Monet X Change
When I hug you, I'm like, hey, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I go high, you go low.
Jacob
Let's do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Find a picture of us hugging. No, I always go high. You always go low.
Monet X Change
Every time we hug or see, you don't even notice. You don't even hug me that often. You don't even know when I hug people. Andy's hugging me. This. I go under, and I do like this. Like, hey.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you know that with me, though.
Monet X Change
I do that with you.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I think you. You're in the little sister role with me. So you go low and I go high, and I hug you up top.
Shannon Maldonado
Or.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or I will just lift you off the ground and swing you around.
Monet X Change
Without my consent.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'll do it again, and I will.
Monet X Change
There's no more of that Brett Green.
Bob the Drag Queen
First of all, Brett already sent me the last season desist. And he. And he immediately said, I am so sorry. That was not true. I. You're right. So one of them already failed.
Monet X Change
Whatever.
Bob the Drag Queen
Now what? How do you. How do you think you are taking criticism?
Monet X Change
It depends. Like. Like. Like. Like what? Like on. On a judging show with friends, with partners, with work. Like what? You know, it varies.
Bob the Drag Queen
In a work scenario, let's say slumber party, episode one, and the director does not think that what you're doing is gonna read well on camera.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. I love that on set. Because I would rather you give me the notes. I love a note. I love a note on camera. Because at the end of the day, I want the show to get a second season. I want people to think I'm easy to work with and within reason. Right? I don't want people to think I'm gonna push over and whatever they tell me to do. I'll just go with. But I love a punch up for a joke. I love stuff like that, so. Yes, but what if the way they're.
Bob the Drag Queen
What if they're right, but they're not saying it in a nice way?
Monet X Change
Like, if you're. If you're trying to. Like, if we're on set, we're all sitting on the thing. Camera's up, everyone's there.
Bob the Drag Queen
And cut. All right, Monet, that was ass.
Monet X Change
That's inappropriate.
Bob the Drag Queen
Excuse me?
Monet X Change
That's inappropriate.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I'm sorry.
Monet X Change
I just.
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like we had a fun vibe here, and everyone's, like, always laughing, so I just wanted. I thought I would give it away. Those. Like, that's ass. Like, your performance today.
Monet X Change
Okay. Heard Patty Kane. Yeah. Let me just talk to everyone over there. Hey, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's me, Patty. Hey, girl.
Monet X Change
So how Pop just approached that conversation to me was a little rude.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, it was crazy.
Monet X Change
And doing it in front of everyone to say like, that really makes me uncomfortable.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, my. It's me, Kane. It was weird. It was very weird.
Monet X Change
It was inappropriate. It did not feel good. So maybe we take, like, five. I'll go to the trailer and let's just recalibrate.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, girl.
Monet X Change
That's how I handle that. I don't think I would not, like, make a scene on set, be like, who the fuck? That's crazy. But I would try to, like, definitely Patty and the director or the EP or someone who else is in charge and, like, talk about it there.
Bob the Drag Queen
So how are you gonna address it? How are you gonna get. How are you gonna get that note back to the director?
Monet X Change
So I think. So that is a note. That's for the EP and the showrunner to handle. Right? Like, I don't wanna call. I don't wanna make friction. So maybe. I think I would assume their process is talking to the director, and then we talk before we go back to set or talk to the director. They fix it and we do notes at the end of the day, maybe. But, yeah, I would assume that that's. I think that's how the process will work. What about you? Like, you're on to doing a thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right.
Monet X Change
And cut.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bob, What?
Monet X Change
Jokes? You think that shit was funny? It was not funny. It was not clever. And we need to do some, like, think of some new jokes. We're gonna take five, Think of some new jokes, and let's do some new material. Okay, let's.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
In fact, we're gonna take five. Listen, you and me talk for five.
Monet X Change
You, you, you and me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Yeah.
Monet X Change
Well, I want to go smoke a cigarette.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can stand near you while you smoke cigarettes. No big deal.
Monet X Change
Okay, great.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right, so we're outside smoking. You're smok. Hey, Monet, I. I gotta tell you, lawyers spoke in that direction.
Monet X Change
Oh, sorry. Sorry. I didn't realize that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So I want to talk to you about the way that we communicate on set.
Monet X Change
A40.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm normally better at improving this.
Monet X Change
Are you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you drinking?
Monet X Change
It's 9:00am I'm thirsty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, we have water on set. I like a 40 of malt liquor.
Monet X Change
Malt liquor.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. And is that a Camel? Yeah, and a Black and Mile on
Monet X Change
the other two fingers.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy. Listen, I want to talk about professionalism and the way we communicate with each other, and I feel like the way that you approach me, first of all. Let me guess. That's not your first 40 of the day, is it?
Monet X Change
You're right.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I figured. I figured. I think that maybe we should wrap for the day.
Monet X Change
The day. Just get started.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know I'm not feeling it today. I gotta. I'm not. I just got. Ooh.
Shannon Maldonado
Oo.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I think I have. I think I. I think I'm gonna have really explosive diarrhea and appendicitis.
Monet X Change
Oh, maybe also.
Bob the Drag Queen
And my stomach.
Monet X Change
Yeah. And.
Bob the Drag Queen
And probably some pancitis. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go talk to the executive producer real quick.
Monet X Change
Okay. And we're. Don't. Well, listen, if we just. As you go. If you need to go.
Bob the Drag Queen
I gotta go.
Monet X Change
I gotta go.
Bob the Drag Queen
I gotta go.
Jacob
We have.
Monet X Change
Mon. I have to go.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't finish talking now.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Executive director, I'm executive producer.
Monet X Change
Hey, Bob. What's going on?
Bob the Drag Queen
Monae, first of all, was really rude on set. Like, I mean, it was. It was actually.
Monet X Change
Monet. Come on, Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then we had a side conversation. She was. She started smoking a cigarette, blew the smoke into my face.
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I'm gonna lie. At first I laughed. I thought she was doing a bit. It was so crazy.
Monet X Change
Uhhuh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Then she cracked open a 40 of malt liquor.
Monet X Change
Well, that's her medicine for the surgery.
Bob the Drag Queen
What doctor prescribed?
Monet X Change
Dr. Zismore.
Bob the Drag Queen
Dr. Zismore prescribed malt liquor?
Monet X Change
Yeah. It's unconventional. It's this new holistic.
Bob the Drag Queen
It is unconventional.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was her second one of the day, so by the time we would have shot the next scene, she would have already had 80 ounces of malt liquor. She's smoking black and miles and a cigarette, which you can't smoke, but blowing up to people's faces. I don't think I can work with her as a director. She's not this way. When we do the podcast, she doesn't act this way. I don't know what's going on.
Patty
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't even know she smoked. So I think that either we need to get a new director or I got to do something else. Noted. That's how I would handle it.
Monet X Change
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because the book. Let's take a break.

Monet X Change

Oh, sorry. I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry. Namaste.

Bob the Drag Queen
1-800-contacts.
Monet X Change
Yeah, so they. So, yeah, so that's how on those. I would do that. If it's criticism, like, I don't know, in relationships.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh.
Monet X Change
How do you. How do you handle. How do you handle criticism? And sex.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, and sex.
Monet X Change
Sex.
Bob the Drag Queen
Whatever.
Jacob
You.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you tell me you prefer the other thing, if I'm physically capable of doing, I'm gonna do it.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
I am a. I. I like to listen to what they are saying, and if. If I'm capable, I'm gonna do the thing you like.
Monet X Change
How does. Does it bruise your ego? Like, is there some part of you that, like, gets a little, like, beat up about the criticism?
Bob the Drag Queen
No. If. Because everyone's body is different, right? So, like, what feels good? Like, if you're giving a blow job to one person, that technique just might not feel good to the next person.
Monet X Change
Right?
Bob the Drag Queen
So just. Just hear what they're saying and try to make the. The. The. The moment you know, good for them. So, you know, everyone's got their tricks. They do, right?
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
But your tricks don't work on everybody.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what I mean? So I would much rather listen to what the person is saying and try to do that new thing as opposed to being like, well, I know, I know. I know I can suck a dick. I know I can eat a. I know I can't be like, well, everyone's body shaped different. Everyone has different nerves in different places and different kinks and, you know, different things that turn them on. So I. I listen, I love. And I would say right now, you only gotta tell me once. It is locked in. It is locked in.
Monet X Change
Would you ever record a session with a partner and watch it back together?
Bob the Drag Queen
Never. Right? Never.
Monet X Change
I can't. Like, I does not. That does not. I just. I. I don't want to see. And again, I'm not embarrassed by it, but I'm just not interested in watching me taking a dick or sucking a dick back. I'm not into. Do you have any videos out there at all?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, I would never, like, on my phone, though.
Monet X Change
On your phone. Not in the other versus.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I don't have. There are no videos that are not in my possession.
Monet X Change
Got it. Even on my. I wouldn't even want on my phone. Cause like, bitch, no shade to that lady. But when the Jennifer Lawrence got out there and the other guy pictures, yeah, I. I would. I was just nervous to have it out there in the ether.
Bob the Drag Queen
Have you seen that guy who says he's to work for the CIA? And he's answering his questions and stuff
Monet X Change
about the headphones he has. He's like.
Bob the Drag Queen
He was on like, some. I can't remember what he was on, but they were like, basically, can the CIA listen to you through. Watch you through your computer screens and your phone screens? And he's like, yes, they can watch you through your phone screens. And they do. They watch people through their phone screen. They listen to them. They can also. They can also break into your television and turn the speaker into a microphone and record you even when the TV's off. But he might be. He might never work with J. He might be lying.
Monet X Change
But also, can I tell you, I'm like, okay, like, I'm not out here hatching any plans or doing anything that I'm afraid the government would hear me say. Like, there's nothing I'm doing at home on my phone, on podcasts, with these camera. I'm like, I don't want the CIA. I don't care. Listen, what the fuck are you going to find here?
Bob the Drag Queen
I also don't think they're listening to me. I don't think. I don't think they're interested in anything I have going on.
Monet X Change
I'm like, what do we have going on? The CIA is like, we gotta hear what Bob and Monet are talking about. We're gonna nail them this time. I'm like, okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
But then part of me goes, if the CIA can do it, then someone else can do it.
Monet X Change
This is true. But what. But given what is the other person going to get that, like, what is this really smart hacker in fucking whatever country? Like, what are they gonna get from me besides maybe them randomly getting me talking about a credit card number that they might use on something? Like, but how often am I discussing my private. My. My credit card numbers and stuff like that? Like, you know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Something about it is a little scary, though.
Monet X Change
I'm not scared by it, to be honest.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a. It's a widow scary.
Monet X Change
What about criticism with friends about, like, friendship? I feel like, can I. Can I. I feel like Bob. Bob and I, obviously, we've had moments. We've mad at each other. I think recently in like, the past ones, we had a moment in podcast that we did not record that there was a boundary cross and we. There was criticism of how we can, like, fix it and like, what, feel bad about it. And I think we did a very good job of having that conversation and doing that. How did you feel?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm really comfortable with uncomfortable situations.
Monet X Change
You are? I will say that I kind of
Bob the Drag Queen
thrive in them, to be honest. It's kind of me doing my best. Like, I. Other people being uncomfortable does not faze me. I don't know if that's a toxic trait, but I do not care if people are uncomfortable. I will have the chat. I will do the thing. I will. I would just watch someone be fully uncomfortable and be like, it is what it is, my boy. So I'm really comfortable in uncomfortable situations and I like to address things. I really like to have long, drawn out conversations. I like to try to listen to my friends. I don't. I'm trying to think about situations with my friends where we have uncomfortable situations. I mean, I feel like you and I more than anyone, and it's probably because we are such good friends, but we also work together so much. One time, me and. Me and Mateo had had a awkward conversation.
Monet X Change
About what?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, we started out joking and then Mateo said something I thought was misogynistic. And I was like, well, that's a little misogynistic. And then, Come on, Bob. And then he was basically saying that. And then, and then he started crying.
Monet X Change
Oh, God.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then he admitted that it was misogynistic and that he was wrong for saying it. I, that was years ago. Years ago.
Monet X Change
After this podcast, I got into circus.
Jacob
I don't.
Monet X Change
You never told me this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, he was like, he was like that, he was like, you're right. It was, what I said was, he was, you're right, that was misogynistic. And, and I don't, I don't know why I said it.
Monet X Change
Yeah, so it would, so I'm, I, I'm not, I'm not super comfortable in, I'm not super comfortable in uncomfortable situations until it crosses the threshold when I'm like, super, like, either, like I spent too much money on it or, or I'm really mad about it. And then I, then I've crossed over, then I'm okay. But I think where you, like, from base level, you're on. You're, you're comfortable there. It takes me, I have to be really fed up to be like, and I don't give a fuck now. And now we can talk about it.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I also like to listen to other people too. Like the other day I was on set and this guy was taking a photo, doing some photos, and I was like, I remember being like, I was trying to hype him up. I was like, oh, you look, you look handsome. And then I was like, everybody, hide your wives. And then this lady was like, that wasn't nice. And I remember thinking to myself, like, I don't know why you think it's not nice, but I want to hear why you think what I said wasn't nice. Like, I don't get it. Do you think I'm in some way that he's stealing wives? Do you think I'm assuming that women can't control themselves? I was just trying to be like, you look good and you're straight and I'm trying to give you a compliment. You're doing a photo. I know. I like to get happy when I'm taking my photos. You know what I mean? And then she was like, that wasn't nice. And I remember being like, okay, let's talk about it. Like, what was it nice about that?
Monet X Change
Was this at work?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Jacob
Yeah. What did she say?
Bob the Drag Queen
I, I, it wasn't incredible. We were also fast paced, moving, and she goes, she was like, it just wasn't nice. Like, we can be Nice. And I was like, okay. But I didn't have. But we were moving so fast, we didn't have time to really sit down and talk about it. I never really got what she was saying, to be honest, but I wanted to have. I really wanted to have the conversation. What do you think she meant by that?
Monet X Change
I don't. I don't know. Maybe. Okay, so the scene is, there's a straight man taking pictures. You're watching the straight man take.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm watching him take his photos. I'm about to do my photos next.
Monet X Change
And you're like.
Bob the Drag Queen
I said. I said. I said. I was like, you're looking great. And then I said. Then I. After like, boosting him up for his looks, for, you know, his pose and stuff, I said, everybody, hide your wives.
Monet X Change
Maybe there's something that you don't know. Maybe. Is this guy a celebrity? Yeah, so maybe. Maybe he has on his reality tv. Yeah, maybe he has something where he was a womanizer or he had some situation, like some Tom Sandoval situation. And then you're like, okay, that's. Maybe.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or maybe he was divorced once.
Monet X Change
Or maybe he has some type of something with.
Jacob
Can you say his name? Can we bleep it out?
Monet X Change
Oh, no.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe he.
Jacob
I think, in fact, the man has been like. His whole thing is that he's married to one woman and they're like very
Bob the Drag Queen
into each other, right?
Monet X Change
Yeah. So, yeah, I don't. I don't know. But maybe this is something that we. We don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
So years ago, I heard the story secondhand, so I don't know how true it is. I mean, that's not true. I. I actually, I don't know, but I'm assuming it's not a lie, because I don't know why you would lie about this, but Todrick hall had Brandy in one of his videos, the Cinderella one, and she was. No, it was a different. It was a different. Where she was like playing like a midwife or something or some sort. Anyway.
Jacob
Oh, for forbidden.
Bob the Drag Queen
For forbidden. And she was running a little late. And then one of the.
Monet X Change
I thought it was just such a horrible joke. I won't say it, but I thought,
Bob the Drag Queen
well, someone did, but then I don't think knew.
Monet X Change
So they said a joke, but they didn't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let me watch more work. So Randy finally shows up. And then one of the. Someone on set was like, damn, what's next? You get in a car crash or something? And then everyone's like, oh, that's not. And then he was like, what and
Monet X Change
like, he said, it's in front of Brandi.
Bob the Drag Queen
To Brandi. Were you in a car crash or something?
Monet X Change
One of the people working on Todrick's video.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. And everyone's like, oh, that's crazy. And then Brandi was like, excuse me. And he was like, I feel so.
Monet X Change
I feel physically uncomfortable.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I'm not even.
Monet X Change
And I'm not even. I was not there. This was years ago. I feel uncomfortable hearing that story.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. You know, when I. When I retell the story in my head, which I don't think this is what Todrick told me. I. In my head, I was like, what, you get in car garage and kill somebody? But I don't think he actually said that. But, like, that's the insinuation, basically.
Monet X Change
And then. Okay, so then what was the resolve?
Bob the Drag Queen
Everyone got really awkward. I mean, I don't really remember. I mean, I don't really remember, but, like, people felt uncomfortable. And then I think someone pulled him aside and told him why Brandi was reacting the way she was reacting.
Monet X Change
So that's so awkward. So incredibly uncomfortable.
Bob the Drag Queen
The other day. The other day. Not the other day. Like, two months ago or so, me and Rob were in here with someone, and then something, somehow. Moms came up. Actually, it was. It was like. It was over a year. It was. No, it was maybe like eight months ago, and I had just gotten off tour, and we were, like, packing up the costumes, and then the person who was with us was like, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, I wish I had a mom. My mom's dead.
Monet X Change
The person said this to you and Rob?
Bob the Drag Queen
To me and Rob, who. We both have dead moms. And then we. I just took them in face. I was like, oh, your mom's dead. Like, I remember thinking, like, why would you joke about that?
Monet X Change
But you make jokes about your mom being passed away.
Bob the Drag Queen
I remember thinking, why would you lie about that? Like, why would you joke if that wasn't the case?
Monet X Change
Oh, God.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then they were like, oh, I just realized. I just thought it through. My mom's not dead. I don't know why I said that. I feel bad about it. I apologize. My mother's very much alive. Very much living. And I am. Oop. I am sorry. I'm just gonna reel it back. And we're. And I was like, we can just keep working.
Monet X Change
Okay, So I have a question about that. Just to play devil's advocate. So, yes, this person's mom is not dead. Is it offensive to you for someone to make a my mom is dead joke? You feel sensitive About. Because obviously your mom has passed away.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think because my mom had passed away so recently, like, it had been less than six months since my mom passed away, and I. In that moment, I began, like, like, relating, being like, oh, my God, my mom's dead, too.
Monet X Change
Oh, got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, hey, sister, welcome to the club kind of vibes. And they were like, no, no, no, my mom's not dead. My mom's not dead. My mom's alive.
Monet X Change
Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Very much living.
Monet X Change
That makes sense.
Bob the Drag Queen
So.
Monet X Change
But right now, if someone like this. If I made a dead mom joke, would you feel offended by that, knowing that my mom is alive?
Bob the Drag Queen
About your mom being dead? No, not really. No. But if I. But if I didn't know you. If I didn't know that your mom was alive, I would probably. I would probably be like, oh, my mom's dead, too. And then I would probably make a dead mom joke. And then if I found out down the line that your mother was living, I'd be like, why would you do that? I'd be like, what was the point of that? But because I know your mom's alive, I would just assume you're just doing. You're just. You know, I'm telling some silly joke. Yeah, but I. I think then I. I would. I actually. I probably wouldn't bring that up. I'd probably be like, actually, I don't even know. I don't even know. I'd be like, that was. I probably. I. I might bring it up jokingly down the line. Yeah. And be like, well, since your mom's dead. Yeah, right. You know what I mean? I want to tell you guys how you can avoid giving negative criticism after your friend does a bad show.
Monet X Change
Okay?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because it's a tough. It's tough, y'.
Shannon Maldonado
All.
Monet X Change
It's tough.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's tough. Your friends worked on this. Your loved one has worked on this, and you don't. I don't think it's okay to lie and say it was good if it wasn't. What I think you should do is find something. You find a truth you can tell. That is indeed a compliment. Right? So you can be like, I had so much fun.
Monet X Change
But did you have fun, though?
Bob the Drag Queen
If I had fun, yeah. First of all, I love bad drag shows. Bad drag. People who know me know I love bad drag almost as much as I love good drag. In fact, I would rather watch either a really bad drag show or really good drag show. If I can watch a really bad drag show versus over, like, A decent drag show. I want to watch the bad one because it is fun for me.
Monet X Change
What about his fun? Seeing the chaos.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's just funny. It's funny. I'm sorry. It's funny to watch bad drag. It's funny. It is funny. So I would be like, I had. I had so much fun tonight. I had a lot of fun.
Monet X Change
But isn't that lying by omission? Because this person asking you about this thing, their. They wanna.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not what lying by omission is, in my opinion. I feel that lying by omission is like if. If you come out and start. If I took your shirt and you go, who took my shirt? And I just don't say anything. That's lying by omission.
Monet X Change
Well, I think, okay, maybe lying by deception. Right? Because if I asked you. So how was the show? As like, let's say you're my best friend. This is 10.
Bob the Drag Queen
I had so much fun.
Monet X Change
But you. But I'm asking you. Okay. What did you think about my number?
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, let's. You ready? It's forever. Oh, my God. Hey, girl.
Jacob
Hey.
Monet X Change
I just swear when I'm so sweaty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Work.
Monet X Change
What? So what'd you think?
Bob the Drag Queen
I had so much fun.
Jacob
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
I had a blast, truly.
Monet X Change
What do you think about my costumes?
Bob the Drag Queen
The costumes, they look like they were really well made.
Monet X Change
Huh?
Bob the Drag Queen
They're like. They're really well made.
Monet X Change
Really? The skis were falling apart and there's a little.
Bob the Drag Queen
I assumed that was. I assumed that was the intention.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Was that not the intention?
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, could have fooled me.
Monet X Change
What'd you think about my number?
Bob the Drag Queen
Which one?
Monet X Change
The second one.
Bob the Drag Queen
That was actually my favorite. Out of all your numbers.
Monet X Change
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
That was my favorite one. Out of all your numbers? Yeah.
Monet X Change
And the singing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Which song you talking about specifically?
Monet X Change
This in the second number again.
Bob the Drag Queen
But that was my favorite out of all the songs you sang. That was literally my favorite one out of the whole show.
Monet X Change
Do you think it sounded good, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think you sounded pretty good. I mean, it's probably the best I've ever heard you.
Shannon Maldonado
Actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's actually. That is the best I've ever heard you.
Monet X Change
Better than when you heard me at the Met when I was singing that really great aria?
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought you. That was. That was literally the best I've ever
Monet X Change
heard you outside of the Met when I got the grills raving reviews from the New York Times?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, you were asked at the Met.
Shannon Maldonado
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm playing. I'm playing, girl. But no, that was my favorite on the show, and I just had a fucking blast.
Monet X Change
Would you recommend for people to come see me do this number?
Bob the Drag Queen
100%.
Monet X Change
Should I. Should I put this number in my Drag race audition tape?
Bob the Drag Queen
100%.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Jacob
Thank you.
Monet X Change
See, I love you. You're always so honest. You tell me the real tea, and
Bob the Drag Queen
I love you, Bootstra Lafairis.
Monet X Change
That was just for the New Yorkers.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, see, I told all truths. There. There were no lies. That was my favorite number you did in the show. I did have fun. I thought the outfits were intentional. There are no lies in there. And that way you don't have to. It's not.
Monet X Change
You don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, so you just watched me do a show. It was really bad. You ready? Here we go.
Monet X Change
Oh, hey, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
That was not my best show. Why?
Monet X Change
Why you say that?
Bob the Drag Queen
I was pitchy. I was behind on the dance moves, and it's honestly not a good show.
Monet X Change
But listen, here's the thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
What do you think?
Monet X Change
What I think is that I've seen you do a lot of shows in a lot of shows, and I think it wasn't your greatest moment, but you put a lot of time, patience, energy into the show. And I think watching you out there, you look like you were having a good time. So if you weren't having a good time, you fooled me. Cause you look like you were having
Bob the Drag Queen
a great time, but did you have a good time watching it?
Monet X Change
Yeah, you know what? I think that a lot of the show. But, you know, I was only focused on you. I was, like, waiting for you to come out, and you were only, like, the last five minutes of the whole show. That's crazy.
Shannon Maldonado
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
And imagine you only got five minutes, and you blow the whole thing.
Monet X Change
You did not blow the whole thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did I save the show?
Monet X Change
You didn't save the show. But, I mean, girl, you had. You had an icon. You had Kenya Pleaser.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was like, is it a good show, though?
Monet X Change
Overall, the show is great.
Bob the Drag Queen
But how was I in the show overall?
Monet X Change
Overall, I think it is probably my second best time I've seen you.
Bob the Drag Queen
The second best time you seen me?
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
What was the first best time you saw me, girl?
Monet X Change
When you won RuPaul's Drag Race, the Death finale. That show off number, that was, like, in my opinion, my. My favorite ball performance ever. Ever.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right, well, I gotta go. They made me rehearse more for the show. They said I was so bad.
Monet X Change
Did they? Nazi. Mr. Nazi. Insane.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, were those truths?
Monet X Change
Yeah, those are truths.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was a bad performance. See, you didn't tell truths.
Monet X Change
Listen, I think that's why
Bob the Drag Queen
that was my favorite number you did in the show. I didn't say you the favorite number you did. That's my favorite number you did in this show.
Monet X Change
But it was your favorite number in the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Say again?
Monet X Change
It wasn't your favorite number in this show.
Bob the Drag Queen
I said that was my favorite number you did in this show. Oh, you did. You see how you gotta make it so specific?
Monet X Change
See, See, I don't want. Cause as my best friend, I want you to tell me the real rip.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, this is my best friend. Yes. Oh, let's run this back. Let's run this. This is. You run this back. I mean, like, when I went to go see you in the opera, I told you I didn't think it was fun.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was like, I didn't. I was like. When I did, that was boring. I love seeing out there. And that was true. I genuinely enjoy seeing out there. It should have been more you. You probably sold all the secrets anyway.
Monet X Change
You know what I mean? It's awkward. It is what it is.
Bob the Drag Queen
But yeah, when it was my close friends, I'm gonna. I, I. If you, like, name a person, I'll tell you. If I would give them the real treatment or, or the, or the compliment. Like the true compliment. It's like the real one or the true compliments. Yeah.
Monet X Change
Okay. Nick Smith.
Bob the Drag Queen
The real one.
Monet X Change
Mateo Lane.
Bob the Drag Queen
The true compliment. And he's a good friend of mine. But Mateo is. Is not. He's not.
Monet X Change
I don't think it would end well for either of us. Well, okay, first of all, Mateo comes on stage, self deprecating. She's like, nah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I mean, I also, I've never seen Mateo not crush.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have never seen Mateo not crush.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Naomi Smalls.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would do the real compliment. The real thing.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Kimchi.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would probably do the, the, the, the, the. The true compliments.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I think Kim would too, by the way.
Monet X Change
Yeah, yeah. Jacob Ritz.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would give Jacob the true thing. We talk about Jacob's shows all the time. Like, when I go to see his chorus shows. I believe this is what I thought. But also, Jacob is my favorite person in the chorus. He's honestly great to watch. He's eating up. And he's also the dance captain for the baritones.
Monet X Change
Oh, Selina. Oh, wait, you're the dance captain. Jacob.
Jacob
Okay, here's the thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
He has some flowers to prove it.
Jacob
I'm in the front row, so I can't watch anybody. Like, when you're learning the Dance moves. Generally, people just watch whoever's in front of them do the dancing. So I don't have anybody to watch, so I have to learn all the dance moves, or else I'm just out there looking crazy. And I'm in the front row, and they're like, we're looking for people to help be the dance captain and lead. And none of the other baritones were like, no one else volunteered. And then people started volunteering me. And then I was like, well, I guess I'm the dance captain.
Bob the Drag Queen
Didn't you, like, get on a block and dance for everyone?
Jacob
Yeah, they put me on a block so everyone can see me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jake was a good, good boy, honey.
Jacob
But they're also multiple. There's one for the tenors, but they're two for all the other sections.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you describe getting on the block and what it's like? Do you a go go, boy?
Jacob
It's not that kind of a block.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you describe the experience?
Jacob
Yeah. I mean, you go up, you're behind a piano. There's a block. I'm next to Lucky, who's the baritone, who's really expressive that you pointed out.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, the bass.
Jacob
Sorry, he's the bass.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's another one of my favorites to watch.
Jacob
And we just do the. The dance. It's not anything crazy. It's not like the block is maybe like this, like a foot tall. It's not like a go. It's not.
Bob the Drag Queen
And everyone's. Everyone's watching while they are you is your back to them.
Jacob
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you're back to them, and then you're just dancing. They're all trying to do it with you.
Jacob
Yeah, but I'm grew up with all the dance captions, so there's maybe, like, eight of us.
Bob the Drag Queen
So Jacob's running.
Monet X Change
This is basically what we're saying work, but.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but I give Jacob the real. The real deal.
Monet X Change
100 Mona exchange.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll give you the real deal easily.
Monet X Change
I could be the real deal, too.
Jacob
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. But I think it's. And it's not. I actually want to redact what I said. It's not about how close I am to you. It's about how I believe you'll receive it.
Monet X Change
Take it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I mean, I think, to be honest, I think that's why Pat and I, obviously, besides all the other things that Patty and I have done together. Patty and I have been working together since I. Since a year before I got into Drag Race. And in everything I've done to this point, every time, Patty is. Which for the first time. Five years or six, seven years. Patti was also on the road with me. So Patti seen me do a lot of shows, a lot of everything I do. And Patti always gives me the real thing. Bitch. I had one time, I did a show at Joe's Pub, and I was feeling my puss puss that day. And I tried a second option. It was the night Roseworths and all them came, and, bitch, I was a mess. I came back to say the pad was like, what was that? And I was like, was it that bad? He was like, it was pretty bad.
Bob the Drag Queen
I had to be doing a little too much.
Monet X Change
I need that, though. I want that.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it's a subtle change you can make that I would appreciate instead. So instead of being like, what was that? Like, you know what it was. Don't ask that question. Get to the thing. Hey, that second option wasn't a great choice. I'd appreciate that more than what was that?
Monet X Change
No, but to be fair, I came backstage, so I get off stage.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did you think it sounded good?
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you knew it didn't sound good.
Monet X Change
I get off stage, I walk to the back, and I was like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. I was like, what was that? And I was like, girl, I don't know. I was feeling it. I didn't think Pepe was like, we both were both laughing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, that's different.
Monet X Change
Yeah, we're both. It wasn't like, ew. It was like, we were both laughing. I was in the corner. I was like, I can't say hi to people. He was like, yes, you can. He was like, that was crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
One time, I got so mad at Patty. We were here doing the photo shoot. I was so mad at him for this. We were walking from. From my drag lab into the. The psych wall. And then on the way over, Patty said,
Monet X Change
oh, God.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tell me about this belt. When I tell you rage filled my body. When I tell you rage filled my body. This belt. This.
Monet X Change
This was.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was wearing debut of this photo, by the way. World debut of this photo.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, we're straight for.
Bob the Drag Queen
We're going to show you that. And instead of being like, hey, I don't think this. This belt is great for this. Tell me about this belt.
Monet X Change
Rage.
Bob the Drag Queen
Rage has consumed me. Flames. Breathing, heaving breasts from the. On the side of my face.
Shannon Maldonado
Flames.
Bob the Drag Queen
Flames. They're my fucking flames.
Jacob
This is.
Bob the Drag Queen
This was me. This was me, bitch.
Monet X Change
You're like the red thing from the inside out.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was so. I was so. I was so mad at him. I was So
Monet X Change
I was so mad
Bob the Drag Queen
at him that day. So also some, Some. Some things you don't need to say. Like, I got so mad for Mateo one time. I was like, livid. I wanted to go see Mateo's Barbra Streisand show at Joe's Pub. And then one of Mateo's friends came up to him, walked right up to him. We were all standing around, walked right up to Mateo and goes, tired, huh?
Monet X Change
Damn.
Bob the Drag Queen
When I. I don't know who that guy is. I've never met him since then. I on. I do not like that guy. I don't like him. That is crazy.
Monet X Change
That's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is insane to say.
Monet X Change
Is this one of his close friends that we don't know?
Bob the Drag Queen
He's a friend. He's a friend of. He's. He's a friend of Mateo's, obviously close to come to the show and like, meet him after the show, right in the lobby. He didn't come to the dressing room,
Monet X Change
though, so that means that, that means he's not that close. But you know, Mateo likes a fucking. A fucking football team backstage with him.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I was. I remember being like. I remember being. I remember being like, who the fuck is this guy?
Monet X Change
That's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, who the fuck is this guy? That pissed me off.
Monet X Change
Imagine after your first performance, Mulanuja come backstage and I'm like, you were tired today, huh?
Bob the Drag Queen
And we all were like, I'm sorry. We were all like, who the. Who the is this guy?
Monet X Change
That's crazy to say.
Bob the Drag Queen
And. But I might have been doing too much. I know it irritated Mato, but I, I was like, yeah, that was. I remember, like, yeah, this, that. That's him. Oh, I know who.
Monet X Change
I know her.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's the. Were you there for Jacob?
Monet X Change
I mean, she's hot.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't give a fuck.
Monet X Change
She is hot.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, that was so irritating.
Monet X Change
Yeah, that's wild. That is wild to say.
Bob the Drag Queen
Insane tired, huh?
Monet X Change
I remember after my, When I did my, my. My show, my first time doing Life Be Life and Before It Is what it is now, that was. I was so self conscious about that show because I, I had to memorize the script. Ben and I were with these fucking cards. I didn't, I didn't like, I had. I didn't do what the finale song ended up being. I was so self conscious about that show and then. But hearing from people like, Kim was like, raving about the show, it's like, made me feel more confident about it. And you gave me some nice compliments about it, but I Was when I
Bob the Drag Queen
came to see it. When.
Monet X Change
What, what, when was the first one ever? Oh, a Dynasty typewriter, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah. You know who gave me a comment on my show and I was like, okay, I believe this is a really good. I mean, I was. I've all, you know me, I believe in myself. But one coming from one person, Jackie Beat was like, that was a really brilliant show.
Monet X Change
Will you stand up?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, work. And she just notoriously hates everything. She's just a. Just a foul. Just a foul. Angry, grumpy, sad, oppressed, crusty, dusty. Just sick tired. Yeah. Broken down and tired. But she was like. That was in Peaches Christ, who's actually a really, really positive person. Person. Peaches Christ is just an angel.
Monet X Change
Get your egg, mother.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, she. I have a theory. I have an idea for her. Because, you know, I don't know if y' all know this or not, but Peaches Christ is a notorious gossip. You know this, right?
Monet X Change
She can't hold water, but she, she. Peaches Christ could not hold water with a 10 gallon bucket.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, she can hold an ounce of it in a 10 gallon bucket. And I was like, you need to have a show. Because she had to do the show on pizza. So I have to do a solo show. And I was like, girl, you should call it. I'm not one to gossip, but. And then you just run down all the gossip.
Monet X Change
Is it stand up?
Bob the Drag Queen
It was. This was like years ago. She ended up doing something different. She ended up doing like one of her plays that she wrote. But I was like, girl, you should just do the weekly report on the gossip in P town and call it. I'm not one to gossip, but.
Monet X Change
Oh, good.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then she just was like, this is what happened with this person.
Monet X Change
See, that's a great idea. Because, you know, Brad locally does the wrap up at the end of all the boats.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's called the Last. The Last Laugh.
Monet X Change
The Last Laugh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really good, girl.
Monet X Change
To write all that material. Every cruise is so great. It's fucking J. Johnson level. This nigga's writing a new special every day.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Monet X Change
He has three specials a week.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
So is someone doing that on P Town? That's a very funny thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not one to gossip, but because
Monet X Change
I'm sure all the locals, everyone who's there for the week is hearing all the gossip and stuff like that. That's a brilliant idea.
Bob the Drag Queen
So Peaches do it.
Monet X Change
Does she still do P Town?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know, actually. Yeah. I don't know.
Monet X Change
I might take that idea. I might take that idea and do it on my YouTube. Can I have it?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you don't have permission.
Monet X Change
Why?
Bob the Drag Queen
Brad Green.
Monet X Change
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Brett Greene.
Monet X Change
This is my idea now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Brett Greene.
Monet X Change
Bob we talk about this Brett Green.
Bob the Drag Queen
We have it filmed right here.
Monet X Change
Podcast these ideas that have the podcast become ours.
Bob the Drag Queen
We'll see you all later. And I'll see you in court.
Patty
Wait.
Jacob
If one of you is suing the others, who does Brett Greene go for?
Bob the Drag Queen
Brett Fight himself.
Monet X Change

Bob the Drag Queen
wearing curtains on one side and wearing green in the yellow on the other.

Hosts: Bob the Drag Queen & Monét X Change
This episode of "Sibling Rivalry" centers on the theme of criticism: its forms, how it's given, received, and survived, especially within the world of drag, friendships, and professional work. Bob and Monét share personal stories, poke fun at each other’s sensitivities, and act out hilarious workplace scenarios around criticism, all in their trademark irreverent style. The episode also detours into cartoons and feet before landing firmly on how to handle feedback—good, bad, and truly awkward.
00:00–07:30
"They would edge you for a whole season… the whole Frieza saga, a majority of it was fucking Goku in the ship… bitch, get to the planet and fight Frieza!" (06:01)

Bob: “I've never done the Ellen DeGeneres. I don't know what these people expected from Bob the Drag Queen.” (08:22)
Monét: “If the way they’re right but not saying it in a nice way... that's inappropriate. It did not feel good.” (19:38 & 20:17)
Bob: “I don't think it's okay to lie and say it was good if it wasn’t. Find a truth you can tell that is a compliment.” (38:11)
Bob: “Other people being uncomfortable does not faze me. I don't know if that's a toxic trait, but I do not care if people are uncomfortable. I will have the chat.” (29:34)
Monét: “As my best friend, I want you to tell me the real rip.” (43:17)
Bob: “It’s not about how close I am to you. It’s about how I believe you’ll receive it.” (46:42)
This episode is a masterclass in handling criticism with wit, empathy, and honesty. Whether you’re in the drag world, the workplace, or among friends, Bob and Monét prove there’s always a way to keep it real—while keeping it funny. Their genuine chemistry and willingness to dissect even the most awkward situations make the topic inviting, accessible, and, as always, riotously entertaining.
