Happy Pride, y'. All. We have been having the best time partnering with Airbnb and honestly, it makes perfect sense because we are always on the road for Pride season. Gigs, shows, gigs, shows. Another gig, another show. Appearances everywhere. We are everywhere. This month I found this gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous townhouse in Toronto to stay and write during Pride. And honey, having that space to get glam, decompress and host a couple of friends. Ugh. Chef's kiss. And that's why Airbnb just works. You get a real space, a kitchen, a living room, room to breathe, relax, chili ondo, all the things. It actually feels like you belong there, not just passing through. Airbnb has millions of unique places all over the world. So wherever Pride takes you, you can find something that fits your whole vibe. This Pride. Don't just stay somewhere, Live somewhere.

A
Somewhere random, like, oh, she's like, I'm in Paris. I'm like, oh, hey.
B
I know.
A
That's because Ayan is a global supermodel star. I know. At this point, obviously, next time I'm going to see her, we're going to be in Pacoima.

A
Yeah, like business. Or do you want it to do something else?
B
No, my. Honestly, my dream for my kid. I, like Brandon can say, can tell you every single day what I ask him, but my dream for my kid will just him living his best life as a model is gorgeous. Travel around the world, you know, have babies for me.
A
That's for you. Babies for you?
B
Yeah.
A
Are you going to be one of those. One of those. One of those grandmas who's like, I not. Are you like, spoil your grandkids, baby.
B
I'm going to love those grandkids with everything in me.
A
What are you going to spoil?
B
Yes.
A
Your son's like, they can't have candy.
B
You're like, they're going to have a cake and eat it in front of their dad. And then if the dad complain, I'm beating you ass. I'm a black woman, bitch. Don't play with me.
A
When did you first realize that you were a knockout, drop dead gorgeous, superstar diva? Like, when was that first life of like, oh, I'm better than everyone else.
B
Okay? So in my village, I grew up in a village with under a thousand people. I wasn't the hot one there. They used to call me Spaghetti because, you know, African men love women with
A
big curvy women and stuff.
B
So I never felt I was hot or beautiful, any of that stuff. Even if I am, because the boys in the village didn't find me attract. Also, I was a boy, a girl's boy. I hang out with all. Yeah, I was hanging out with all the boys. I was more friendly than. I saw this white man from Idaho and he thought I was hot as fuck and he wanted to marry me. He paid my dowry. I was like, bitch, touch the boobs, touch the ass, touch the pussy, I don't give a fuck. Take me to America.
A
Where did you meet him at?
B
And then you killed my American dream. We'll get back to that. I'm an African kid from Africa, came to America to be on this TV show and you fucking killed me. Took all My money. I was supposed to be rich with you.
A
Honestly, it was a pleasure. Where did you meet your husband at?
B
I actually met him in a restaurant. What kind of restaurant?
A
In Idaho.
B
No, bitch, I was from a village.
A
Okay, got it.
B
I didn't sleeper. I never even knew what Labutanzi never saw a plane.
A
Got it.
B
I was like, brock, bitch from the village.
A
So he came to the village for what?
B
Yes, he was. He's a white man. They're always looking for villages to look at. It's like, you guys don't have any. Enough in America. I'm in a village right now in Beverly Hills. He didn't need to travel all the way to Africa to see me be there. Brought his white penis from my doll then. I loved it.
A
Can I ask how much your dowry was?
B
It was cheap. I was a thousand five hundred dollars at that time. But this is 27 years ago.
A
So inflation. So that's about Jacob calculation, inflation.
B
Yeah, Putin.
A
27 years. So in 1999, what would a thousand. How much was 1,500?
B
Yeah, something like that.
A
What would a 1500 be in today's money? How much did this man pay for this dowry?
B
For this?
A
Pays it to your parents?
B
Yeah. No. So he gave me the money, and I had to give it to my dad, who wasn't even my dad in my life. But in our culture, the dowry goes to your dad.
A
Got it.
B
And what.
A
Okay. And the dowry is. I don't know what a dowry is.
B
So the dowry is like, enough. Like in my culture, $2 million.
A
No, about $3,000.
B
Oh, my God. I was like, wow. I was like, they supposed to start at that?
A
No, that is a. That is a 1999 Kia Soul.
B
Okay, okay, okay. You can't even buy. I can't even. It's the shoes I'm wearing now, you know? But what was your.
A
The dowry?
B
Also in my culture, you get married, they pay for your dowry.
A
Got it.
B
So basically, it's like they raise you for your money.
A
Got it.
B
So the parents make money out of you as a dowry because you pay them back, and then you take care of your family your whole entire life.
A
Okay.
B
So it's a very common thing in my culture.
A
So are you still taking care of the family back home?
B
Always. I honestly, I paid for all my brother's colleges, which we never had a time. Brought my brother to America, paid, bought my mama house. Like, I put everyone in my family before I ever did myself.
A
Word.
B
Like, literally before. I bought a pair of shoes. I made sure that my Family in the village where I came from, where we were the poorest. Now we're like the operas.
A
Now they're driving by your house. They're like, drive me by Chanel Ian's house. I would have said outside the gate, period.
B
But why? Before I used to carry bananas in my head, I had no shoes. I was nothing. Like, literally. I used to brush my teeth with sticks. You know, you take the stick, you brush your teeth like that.
A
I do not know, but I assume
B
they grew up in America.
A
They do it on Survivor. I always wonder why. Jacob, you see this? Yeah.
B
We'll talk about survivors. We have to talk about all those. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
And so they do it on Survivor. I was like, why are they using twigs to brush their teeth? Is it. Roy is the best.
B
It cleans you. Like, literally, you know, like how the gays. You put the water to the douche. Yes, yes. It's like that for the teeth.
A
I mean, look at your teeth. The results are resulting.
B
No. And I'm from Puakpa Village now.
A
Have you. These are like your organic teeth, bitch.
B
Yes. Everything in me is organic.
A
Yeah. Not even a little bit of Botox?
B
No. I just got a Botox for the first time. No, seriously. Three weeks ago. And it gave my face abnormality. Like one side was up and one side went down. It still hasn't gone back to normal. If you really look at me straight. Oh, I was allergic to it.
A
Well, you know, so I did Botox once and it didn't work on me because I think my body metabolizes too fast. So what he gave me, it didn't even work, really. I just wasted my time.
B
At least better than being allergic.
A
Yeah, true. Have you ever douched?
B
Yes, I've done colonics.
A
Colonic. Okay. I want to do a colonic. I heard it was a good too.
B
It's the best treat. It takes everything out of your.
A
Apparently. Apparently. It's really good for you.
B
It's really healthy.
A
But you can't do it often because
B
it no, like once a month type of thing.
A
Once a month?
B
Yeah. I used to do once a month. Then it became so expensive in Dubai. It started at 200. Now it's like 500. I'm not paying 500 to clean my ass. I'll go take Dulcolax 20 from the supermarket.
A
I want to ask about these videos of you going shopping in Indianapolis.
B
Indianapolis?
A
I mean, not Indianapolis. In. Where do you live at in the States?
B
The spot, Idaho.
A
In Idaho?
B
Yeah. I love Boise.
A
Right?
B
Yes.
A
In these, you're like, have you been? I have been a boy. Yeah, I've been to Boise. Oh my God.
B
Really?
A
You're wearing these. You're like at like the Target, the Walmart. You're at like Claire's. And he's like, he's like in a like huge gown, pushing a shopping cart. This is how you dress? Like just for kicks and giggles or.
B
Honestly, I'll tell you the truth. Like I said before, I was broke growing up and I always wanted to have good things. So it's the little girl in me that always wants to dress up. It makes me feel good. And also it's because it comes from anger, pain, frustration. Because my dad loved my sister more than me because she was light skinned and I was dark skinned. So she really hated me in pieces. He would beat me up. Boy, I had nice dresses. Buy her diamond, like gold and stuff. Always dress her up, but not me. So, so. And then one time, I remember I took my sister's dress to wear to go to my friend's house. And when I came back home, baby, my dad literally took his. All his anger on me, beat me up. I was broken. It was so painful. So now it's like for taking the dress. Yeah. Off my sister. Like I wasn't worth it. Basically. Literally. So for me now it's more when I dress up is to tell that little girl you're okay. Look at you. That bitch is nowhere and you're looking fabulous. Not also fuck her. But. But I. But. But I love her with all my heart. But she's one of my causes of my depression.
A
But, but.
B
And also it's not her fault that she was loved. You know what I mean? It's not my fault. And she loves me a lot. But I'm just saying, like.
A
So she likes curvy and stuff too.
B
She's curvier. She's prettier.
A
She was more the. The African ideal, at least from your village. Standard for beauty.
B
Yes, but my mom also told me when I was born it was the problem of the marriage. So I think like. But look at me. Do I look like a problem? Look like a solution?
A
Darling, I don't know. You have been the source of a lot of my problems.
B
Bitch. You are my problem. You are my problem.
A
I was so scared.
B
Monet. I have no. Do not lie to Monet. Monet. Do not lie to Monet. Absolutely not.
A
Here's the thing. But Ayan clocked you immediately. Yes, she was one of the people that clocked you immediately. No, it was too late.
B
No, it was too late because you killed me before I woke up.
A
Not immediately, Monet, let me tell you,
B
Bob is a bitch. I'll tell you.
A
I know.
B
Okay, so.
A
And I would kill both of you if we were in the castle together.
B
I believe that. Monet wouldn't kill me.
A
He wouldn't do that. Oh.
B
Immediately. Oh, he would.
A
I know he probably would.
B
I swear he would. So you know what happened? Okay, so we are.
A
Let me trigger Ayan. Nate, grab that thing right on the inside of the door. It's right. If you go over there, it's right on the inside.
B
Are you trying to piss me off?
A
Bring that back. It's going to trigger you. You know what I'm talking about, Kane. Go out into the drag lab.
B
Yeah.
A
And then turn it immediately.
B
I love you guys.
A
That thing right there. That thing right there, honey.
B
What thing?
A
Yeah, you'll know it. Oh, you'll know it when you see it, hon. A blowtorch that we can. Oh, you'll know it when you see it, honey.
B
Oh, this bitch. I'm telling you, this bitch. I'm coming out of the car, okay? And I come out. Bob is there, tall, like an African giraffe, okay? With this big heart, looking fabulous and fantastic. Everybody's basic except me and him, okay? So I come out with my pink look, right? And I'm like, oh, my God, Bob the Drag Queen is here because I watch Drag Race. Because my confidence in life came from Drag Race. You guys do so much for us and the planet. Just. Thank you, by the way. Yeah. So. So I comes out and I'm like, oh, my God, I am going to be friends with this. So they told all of us to walk into the house. But I love camera. This loves camera. That's where the problem came from, that truth. Okay?
A
He recognized. He recognized competition.
B
Exactly. And he got me out because I was his competition, and I'll tell you why. So we walk into the house, and I'm behind him. I'm behind him, and I'm trying to be like, okay, let's walk together with our couture in the house. That if I knew Bob was so competitive, I would never have done that. I would have hidden from the other ones, you know, and leave him alone. And so. So, yeah, so he comes for breakfast, and I really. I. When I tell you Bob was the only person I kicked. Kissed the ass in the house, I went above and beyond. I'd be like, you look fabulous. Even we look like shit.
A
The first breakfast, which never happened, by the way.
B
Dead.
A
Never. Happened.
B
And this African look that was too colorful. And I'm kissing his ass. You look fabulous, my darling Bob. Fabulous. And then he's like, you look good too.
A
But I was like, you did look good.
B
How can I get to him? Like, I tried. Then the next day in the morning, I was dead.
A
I want to be clear. Everyone. Everyone keeps saying. Everyone keeps acting like I was the one. I. We all came to a concept census.
B
That is not true when it comes to me. And I have proof.
A
No, they all have to agree.
B
Everyone has agree. Rob Boston Rob Boston Rob Boston? Yes.
A
Why Boston Rob?
B
Oh, I always call him Rob Boston. I love him.
A
Oh, you love him?
B
Oh, so much so with everything. I just had lunch with him and his wife and kids.
A
Oh, wow.
B
Yeah. Like, I'm family now.
A
You're with my daughter.
B
I know. I was so happy to meet.
A
Oh, I was a girl. With this meeting with Rob Boston. Oh, yeah. What happened to the meeting?
B
Also, we talked to you. We talked about you. And I was like. He was like, you need to go see Bob. You need to go see Bob. And I was like, that bitch. No, he goes, close your eyes. Exhale. Feel your body relax.
A
And let go of whatever you're carrying today.
B

B
My name is Shannon Maldonado. I'm the founder of Yaoi, a gift shop. From the lens of artists and handmade objects, I chose Shopify because when I was testing other platforms, it was definitely one of the most user friendly. It was important to. To me to think about where we would be in the future. All of the tools for reading your sales, like planning inventory, they're just right there on your dashboard. For anyone starting a small business, the biggest thing I can tell you, it doesn't have to be perfect. Shopify can help you build upon it. Start your free trial on shopify.com. you guys will love each other. You need to go suburb. And then I asked, of course about the traitors, how you guys were doing with the podcast. And he said he had the best time with you.
A
I love no boss. Robins is a really.
B
He really loves.
A
But because I have Dorinda also has a thing. They keep feeling like you, Kim. Like we in the torrid. You have to come to a consensus. Everyone has to agree.
B
That's not true. When it came to me.
A
No, it is true.
B
You said. You insisted. You said, if I don't kill Ayan, I am not leaving. If I was on camera, why are you lying? He was on camera. I don't care. It's only Ayan. We agree. We don't agree. Get the bitch. It is.
A
I remember the episode you said something similar.
B
Thank you. I watched. I've repeated what I said was, can
A
we have conversation about.
B
And I'm not doing anything. If it's only I could be like,
A
here and fourth, Ian must die. That is not what I said. I said, can we have a conversation? All I said was verbatim, can we have a conversation about Ian.
B
But why me? I didn't even know what the. Yeah, why me?
A
I chose.
B
Why did you bring me?
A
Because I knew. There's a few reasons why I chose you. One, I did not want to kill you the first night because you said that your son said you wouldn't.
B
And I said you wanted to kill me the first night. You fucking knew.
A
No, I didn't. I mean, we knew I had to kill you. Here's the reason why I had to kill you. Yeah, well, one, I didn't do the first night because you said my son said I wouldn't make the first night. So I said, I'm gonna let her make it the first night.
B
Yeah, my son literally say that. Don't.
A
So now you showed him with his little business degree in Santa Barbara. And then the second, I kept being like, they will never vote. Ayan. Ayan will never be voted out. No one thinks she's evil. No, the only way to get Ayan out of the castle is to kill her. So my thought process was, we have to kill people who will. Like, if I would have said at the roundtable, I think Ayan is a traitor, it would have never gotten any traction. They would have turned on you Too likable.
B
I know. People loved me so much. That was Bob's problem.
A
Happy Pride, y'.
B
All.
A
We have been having so much fun partnering with Airbnb and with Pride celebrations happening all over the country this month, we are so grateful to have somewhere fabulous to lay our little heads in every city this year. I stayed in this stunning mid century modern home for Palm Springs Pride this year. And baby, it was so cute. Huge backyard, a pool, a full kitchen, and it was just the chef's kiss cherry on top to make the whole Pride experience everything. Because here's the thing. When you're traveling as much as we do, drag gigs, comedy shows, filming, flying, vacationing, whatever, booking a home on Airbnb fits our lifestyle. You get space, you get a kitchen. You get a living room. Whether you're heading to Austin, Pride Chicago, Pride Atlanta, Seattle, wherever your queer journey takes you, Airbnb has options for every situation. Solo trips, group getaways. Maybe the whole squad can come through. Okay, I'm serious. Airbnb makes traveling feel personal. It's not just a place to sleep. It's a part of the experience. Okay, let's get real for a second. You know that voice in your head that's like, what if I'm secretly a bad person? Or why did I just have this super disturbing thought? It's not just you. We all get unwanted thoughts like that sometimes. But if those thoughts feel stuck, cause you intense distress, and you spend hours spiraling Googling things and asking your friends, for the one millionth time, if you're a bad person. Am I a bad person? Yeah. You might be dealing with more than just overthinking. It could actually be ocd. And if you're thinking no. OCD is about being super organized. No, no, no. The stereotypes have it all wrong. Actual OCD is being terrorized by unwanted thoughts that feel urgent and real and doing whatever you can to make the distress from those thoughts go away. Like constantly asking for reassurance, avoiding things, or replaying thoughts over and over to try to solve them or get rid of them somehow. But the more attention you give OCD thoughts, the stronger they get. That's what makes OCD so debilitating. But it's also totally treatable when you get the right kind of help. Not all therapy work. All conditions. OCD needs a specialized type of therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention, or erp. Not regular talk therapy, because that can make it worse. That's where NOCD comes in. They're literally the world's leading provider in OCD treatment. No. CD therapists specialize in treating OCD with ERP therapy, and they're trained by experts so they actually know what they're doing and how to help you. Therapy with no CD is 100 virtual, covered by insurance for over 155 million Americans and includes support between sessions. So you're not facing this by yourself. So if you've been struggling, don't wait. Go to to nocd.com to book a free call and learn today how they can help. That's nocd.com. that's n o c d dot com. Time to take your power back. You were showing people your boobs. Do you ever show Bob your boobs? That's the problem. Bob lost.
B
I did not show Bob my boobs. Bob was sitting next to me, looking at me, showing my boobs.
A
Whose boobs did you show?
B
Oh, I showed my boobs to Dylan. Oh, my God, baby. I was selling myself for anything. I was like, nobody's killing this bitch. You want to see an African boob? They're like. I'm like, have you guys ever seen an African? They're like, no. I'm like, this is your turn. I am. Show the guardian boobs, bitch. I have good boobs. That's how I got the passport for America. It wasn't my pussy. It was the boobs.
A
It was the boobs.
B
Yeah. So I showed my boobs, right? And Dylan was there, I think Wells, the firefighter, man. Like, I just literally, I thought, who was the hottest?
A
Who is the hottest person in the castle to you? I think it's Jeremy for me.
B
Jeremy the black guy, right?
A
We all say Jeremy. I'm telling y'. All, even on Survivor.
B
Oh, my God. And I hugged him. His body is like a stone baby. And I've never tried black man yet because I married at 18. If I. If I had a child. But he's married, right?
A
Yeah, he's married. Y' all both married? Y' all both married? Hey, married with children. Is your husband like, oh, my God, my wife is so crazy?
B
Yes. Oh, my God. Yes. Yes, yes. My son blocks me from Instagram.
A
Does he really?
B
He doesn't follow on Instagram because, like, you are so embarrassing as a person. So. Yeah.
A
Well, y' all have been married for 30 years. What is the secret to staying married for 30 years ago? Because people can't make it past five years?
B
I've heard no. So honestly, for me, I think it's because he's never tried to change me. I think that really has helped our marriage because I'm a lot, you know, so trying to change me. So trying to change me. I think it really, like, affects you because I see my friends were in relationship, and their husband's like, oh. So I went to this wedding. True story. My husband's best friend was getting married. Very wealthy guy from Ireland. Everyone was sitting on the table at the wedding.
A
Everyone sitting on the table?
B
No, like, sitting on the chair.
A
Okay, got it.
B
Yeah. My English.
A
Yeah.
B
No, no, no.
A
Yeah.
B
Worst language I ever learned. Language I Ever learned. I love my African languages. I speak a lot of those. I speak a lot of languages.
A
I'm sure you do. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.

No, I did say you're beautiful.
A
Yeah, I know. Yeah. Jambar.
B
Yeah. That's a good one. He said, hi, my friend. I love you. And I said, bob is stupid. I love. So happy to see you guys. Yes. I'm in the wedding, right? And it's expensive. Wedding in Ritz Carlton, baby. Expensive. They spend money. They had this Filipino singer and a black guy, dreadlocks, right? Like, DJing. Everyone is sitting like this.
A
I love this. It's expensive. They had a Filipino singer and a black guy with dreadlocks. Yes. That's the whole budget.
B
I know. No, like, so cool, right? Yeah. They are singing that no one is doing anything. Anything. So I get up, obviously. Mind you, I have the best dance moves ever. When I tell you best is the worst shit we've ever seen. So I'm dancing. I stand up and I start to dance. Like, I'm like. I'm all over the place, right? They're just sitting. They're all staring me. The whole room is staring at me. And my husband's like. Like, keep dancing from the scene and smiling at me and then coming to join me. And then he went to the bar, and the men were like, your wife is a lot. How do you handle her? And my husband goes, I love her like that. I've never tried to change her. And he goes, your wives are all sitting down. They should dance with my wife.
A
Oh, that's a nice, beautiful. Monet does a really bad impersonation of you, by the way.
B
Oh, I need to know.
A
It's really bad. Monet did it last night. Because I love the way that you put. You roll your Rs.
B
Yes, I do roll my Rs.
A
You roll your Rs. But Monet says you put Monet. This is Monet. Can you tell me you said, I'm coming on your podcast tomorrow? No, you said, I want to come on your podcast, which is what you said. She said, I want to come on your podcast.

B
Money. Give me some money.
A
You look money. Give me some money. You Are ridiculous.
B
You took my money from me. You owe me money. You don't understand. Sometimes I go to your Instagram and I go, you, I love you, but why the did you take my dream away?
A
I didn't win the money. It's not my money. I got killed. I got executed. Or.
B
Oh, I celebrated. When you dead. I fucking. I used to, like when I was so poor. Poor when my mom could afford bread and soda is when we did something amazing like Christmas or new Eid or something. So when Bob died, I went and got Coca Cola with margarine and bread. White bread, bitch. I don't eat white bread. I'm allergic to that shit. I ate it and I enjoyed it. And then I was like, yeah, Bob is dead.
A
You are ridiculous. You are a ridiculous person. I was kind to you. We had to kill. You were never gonna be. You were never gonna be bad.
B
At the end of the day, I truly, honestly, in my heart love you so much. And you know that. You know that.
A
You keep such a. Such a amazing figure. Do you like. Are you like at the gym six times a week? How do you keep your glam?
B
This is actually a good question. So I almost died recently. Oh, yeah, I did nad. Do you know nad?
A
No. What's that?
B
It's like these vitamins where they inject in your bloodstream. But by the way, this is not heroin. It's from the dress I wore, just to let you know.
A
Oh, sure. Yeah.
B
Not heroin, drugs. Yeah, yeah, but. Yeah, I know, I know. But I was. I was at. I did nad, which is like vitamins to keep you younger. Kim Kardashian is talking about it. I was like this and, you know, almost passed away and gone then.
A
Because of. Because of the vitamins.
B
Yes. Then they did my test body test to find out, like, what's wrong with me. Then I found out I have some few issues here and there. So the doctor's like, you have no muscles for your age. So my son texted me videos of women that are in 80s, like when they're crawling like this. And then women that are 80. This black woman that's 80 something years old. I don't know how my son found out on Instagram. And she's so fit and hot and works out. So Taj goes like, mommy, you need to be like her because the other one is gonna be hard for me to take care of you. But we feel like this strong is easier. So I started to go to the gym. Pilates, actually, just two months ago. I feel hot.
A
People love Pilates.
B
I feel so good. I'm just like, why haven't I never worked out?
A
Yeah, people love Pilates. Is Nick in the. A friend of mine who's also very slim and has very low muscle tone.
B

Just got into Pilates, too. He's, like, obsessed with. What does he like? Pilates? Oh, Nick is obsessed. He goes three times a week.
B
So good. But, Monet, you also work out. I can tell.

A
They're gonna put it in in the end and post.
B
I'm like, where is it? Except here's a picture. I'm like, it's not tv, people. This is not tv.
A
Do you remember? Okay, so do you remember on the Traitors when everyone kept saying they were survivors?
B
Yes. Bitch.
A
What? So also, did you not notice that I have hair now? I used to be bald.
B
No, I just told you earlier. You look fabulous.
A
Yeah, I had a hair transplant.
B
Really? Yeah, girl, I need to do one.
A
I mean, just wear the wigs also. I mean, I've never seen you with outfit, but I Feel like you'd be beautiful with bald head too.
B
I am bald headed. My husband is bald headed, I'm bald headed. I don't wear a wig when I fuck. We're both two bald headed bitches fucking and sucking each other and eating each other completely.

B
Oh, you're so sweet.
A
So on, on the traitor, they kept being like, I'm a survivor, I'm a survivor. And then you thought that people had just gone through really gruesome, horrible, brutal things. Yes.
B
Because remember when we walked in, everyone was introducing themselves. So I knew you, I knew, well, I know the housewives. I know Chrishell and Sierra, of course, Team Sierra, period. And you know, I didn't know most of the other people, people. So when they're introducing themselves, they're like, I'm a survivor. I'm like, oh, because I'm a survivor of fgm, right? So I'm like, yeah, so you know, so I thought like, he's a survivor, right? The other person. I'm a survivor. I'm a survivor. And I, I was just by myself in the bar. It's like, what the, have these people survived? Because I'm like, what the fuck have they survived? So they like go to confessionals, so I go to confession. I'm like, do you know who these people? I'm like, honestly, as a survivor, I don't know what these white people from America have survived. I don't know what they've gone through. Because America, there is. But they keep telling their survivors, I'm like, I've survived Ebola, malaria, typhoon Bob in this house. What have they survived? So when I came out, my husband's like, how's everyone? Like, I swear to God, there were people there saying there were survivors. And my husband's like, it's, it's a show. And I'm like, yeah, I've never watched it.
A
Hilarious.
B
Never watched it. So that's how I knew that it was a show.
A
Got it. If you felt bad, you were like, oh my God, Survivor.
B
I felt so Bad for them.
A
But then I'm like, wow, Jeremy's a survivor.
B
They look healthy. They look like, why is. What I was. What is Jeremy surviving? I want to know, with that stone body.
A
He survived the gym.
B
He survives the gym. Because I'm like, I lick you up with ice cream, and I'm married.
A
Y' all don't know, because Jeremy doesn't really show his body off. Obviously, Survivor does, but. And he also just.
B
He's.
A
I think that Jeremy is someone. He's really handsome on tv. He is a much more handsome in person.
B
His beauty in person.
A
Is this not even a first season?
B
No.
A
Look at his second season. I'm telling you, when Jeremy came back. Because that second season, when Jeremy came
B
back, oh, my God.
A
But here's the thing, though. So you don't survive her. Obviously. You don't get any. You can't take care of yourself. And Jeremy was a member of the. The balding crew. The girl hairline giving cul de sac. Okay. So by episode, he makes it to. He makes it to the end by. Spoiler alert. Girl, that happened. Watch that season yet? You're not gonna watch it anyway. What do you. What if I am? Wanted to watch it?

B
I am gonna say no right now because I found that they don't feed you.
A
They don't.
B
And you have to wear the same dress. So it's not.
A
Well, it's not a dress. Are you wearing, like, a dress? Just whatever they give you. What do you think? Like, what do you think they're wearing? You can't show up in this outfit. I am.
B
They say you only have one look. I cannot have one look.
A
They're not looks. No one's wearing looks on Survivor.

B
Yes. So when I got out of Traitors, I knew Wells died the night. Night before. Right. You set him up. You set up my. My only friend in the house. So at the moment. And Dylan, then I was the next one. You hated both of us because. So when. So they give you. They don't give you your phone. Oh, Bob, I have to tell you this, because this is literally true story before we come back to that. So when I left the castle with a car, they were driving me out. Then we were on the road. Lord, I saw you guys. We had to park on the side. And then you guys were gonna pass. I opened the door of that car because I wanted to chase you down and be like, that is a traitor. And I was gonna do all of that. And the ones are, sorry, sorry, I will lose my job. If you ever do that. I'm like, I'm not gonna let you lose your job. But it was this close for me. Chasing in the car when they were
A
coming back, you know, I could outrun you, I think.
B
Think, honey. I'm Kenyan.
A
Try, try.
B
Have you ever seen Americans run compared to Kenyans? We take that.
A
Have you done. Have you ever done any type of sports or anything like that?
B
Sports? I'm not a sport person. It's the first time. I'm going to the gym now, and I'm starting to like it.
A
Okay.
B
Okay. Yeah. I try to play soccer in my village. I would love that. For once in my life, I want to have six packs. I've never had one.
A
I love those.
B
Because when I was a model, I was skinny. Model. Yeah. I just need a muscle. But I was skinny. I fit everything.
A
Is there, like, a coalition or like, a sisterhood of these, like, African models who all do are, like, you and, like, Alec. Alec Weck. And, like, are y' all all, like, in a group chat?
B
So no. So I do talk to, like, Naomi. I talk to my cousin, who's married to Idris Elbar. I talk to uba, who's my cousin. I talk to a few of the Soma. Like, few of the girls. Yeah. Africans. We try to be there for each other.
A
I thought Naomi Campbell's British. I think it's British.
B
But she's still black.
A
Yeah, no, she's black. But did she ever, like, live in Africa?
B
Yeah, yeah, she lived in Kenya.
A
Oh, I did not know that. I know that. Is she Kenyan?
B
No, she's British. She's British, but she loves Africa. She's loved in Kenya.
A
Well, her father. Her father was Nelson Mandela. Like, her father. He was like her mentor.
B
Nelson Mandela is not Naomi's dad. I know this for a long time.
A
Her father, her, like, mentor. He was. Oh, okay. Because I said I did this. I also said the word mentor. No, but I just know what this.
B
But you said father first.
A
She. No, she. I did this. Cuz to me, this means. Like, she said, he's her father. Like, No, I said. I said father. And I also use the word mentor. And. But she. But we both need a clarity. She used Nelson. They at home did not. Some people are quicker than others. They used. She viewed Nelson Mandela as like, a father figure to her father figure. That word would have really helped.
B
That's better.
A
I use the word mentor.
B
You didn't put this.
A
You did not mean.
B
What does this even mean?
A
You know, I went longer than you.
B
What does this mean? What does this mean?
A
Well, when you say this, this means you're quoting something. So saying this, I would say she's saying that, oh, he's my father.
B
My father.
A
But it doesn't just mean that. It also means figuratively. You can be like, she's my sister. So it can mean a direct quote. And it can also mean, like, figuratively speaking. But how are we supposed to know
B
which one you're saying exactly?
A
Use context. We're not in your mind. When I said the word mentor, you should have known. But you said it after you.
B
You said after you told us. Father, you are wrong.
A
Thank you. So hard to get there.
B
How do you feel?
A
First of all, you. So hard to get there. You pulled.
B
You said something that's very hard for Monet. Monet has gone from Bob.
A
Monet will be all right. You both. First of all, the fact that I've been in both your lives. You are both so blessed and lucky to have had me. You're right. Both of our lives.
B
I'm not going to lie you bring a lot of joy to people's world. So I love that for you.

I've been seeing clips of people deep throating bananas online and it be uncomfortable
B
because like cucumbers too.
A
Yeah, I feel more comfortable with the cucumber. I feel like if I were to deep throat a banana, it's would snap
B
and just cuz your throat is too strong.

B
Have you ever broken a penis in your throat?
A
Have you? We'll know who you're talking about.

A
Okay, here's the thing.
B
When I was 18, I didn't know how to do it. I was like, ah, now I know you can't use.
A
When I was 18, I knew I've nibbled on the head of a d to teach him a lesson before.
B
Oh.
A
Because not a full bite, but just like the little like, you know, we just do a little on. Just on the stage. What was the lesson? Because he was. I was mad about something, period. Like something he did while you were having sex? No, before.
B
Before.

That's. And I carried the anger into sex.
B
I love that.

He's not a makeup artist. You can't book him every week. You couldn't afford him.
B
Honey, he lives on $20 million house. You can't afford it.
A
Every stunning diva. 20 broke row. Every stunning diva needs a gay bestie. That's good. That. That could be there.
B
Listen, my life honestly, and I'm saying this, my life is so good because of every gay person I've ever met in my life. You know who I just saw I was supposed to interview? When you look left, Mama.
A
R. Oh, y. Oh, yes. On the carpet.

A
Yes. She's Mother. She's mother.
B
She's a mother.
A
Well, anytime R comes to an event, they bring him in Ruda. He does the thing, and they take him out. He. There was like, a little, like, VIP mingle. He Us off there he went, right? They are not. Because they get. Gave him an award.
B
But, you know, they announced his award first.
A
He had to stop that train. They announced his award first, got award left event. That's not played the way it works. RuPaul. RuPaul gets.
B
I can stalk him because, you know,

and then RuPaul grabs the zip line, shoots up, gets in a helicopter, flies. It might as well be that.
B
Yeah.
A
RuPaul is a player.
B
Really?
A
Yeah.
B
But I can stalk her because she's neighbors with Brandon. But I've been standing outside. I haven't seen her yet.
A
You will go to everyone's house. You ask at Oprah's house, Meghan Markle's house, RuPaul's house.
B
You know, I love it.
A
So, you know, so me and Gabby got in trouble on the Traitors with the cast because we kept talking about who's rich and who's not rich. We kept going on and on about
B
who's rich on the camera, who's rich.
A
And then one of the people who we assume is very rich, who lives next door to RuPaul in Beverly Hills at the time but doesn't live there anymore, came up to me and Gabby and was like, you all need to stop talking about who has money, because it makes some of us very uncomfortable. And we were like, well, you do have money. And they were like, well, it makes some of us very. Because we. We saw. Do you remember the one with. With all the diamonds up the ear?
B
Yes.
A
Diamond, both sides. Diamonds. Giant. I mean, like, literally. Literally walking around in minimum 8 or 10 diamonds just on his head.
B
Easily. Easily.
A
And we were like, that's. That is. You are walking around with at least $500,000 worth of diamonds on your. On your ear right now. And he pulled me and me and Gabby aside. We're like, you need to stop talking about money. We don't like it. Don't do that.
B
No. You know what he told Me, I was eating a lot of snacks. He's like, you eat a lot of snacks.
A
Oh, did he really?
B
Yeah. And I was like, I do eat a lot of snacks. And he. And I'm not, I swear, I don't know exact words. I don't want to put exact words, but I think Wells were there. He was like, you eat. And Robin is like, you eat a lot of snacks. Because if you don't like. I wouldn't eat if. He basically was telling me, if you just lose few, you'll be fine. No.
A
Well, coming from his former line of work, that makes sense.
B
Yeah, But I was also fat at Traders.
A
You were Bring up a picture of. Type in Chanel Ian fan.
B
Did you see my boobs?
A
Here's the thing. Type in Chanel Ian fan. See if there are literally any results at all. I'm not going to take away from your experience of your body. I am. But I'm going to say watching you. That's not my experience of your body. But your experience is valid for your. I'm going to take it away.
B
You are not going to take it away. So I stopped eating snacks at 20. I hated those boiled eggs. Who ate boiled eggs?
A
All Americans eat boiled it. We like in the morning. Eggs is a very American snack.
B
Really?
A
So what are like Kenyan snacks for the morning? Like, what's the morning? Kenyan breakfast.
B
So for Kenyan, like my culture, we wake up in the morning, we have tea and a pancake.
A
Okay.
B
Or you have bread, like our kind of pancakes or different crepes.
A
What are you putting on the pancake?
B
When I was poor, there was nothing else.
A
So just depend. No syrup, no butter.
B
No.
A
Got it.
B
No, no. That wasn't that fabulous.
A
What kind of tea? Like green tea?
B
Black tea.
A
Black tea? Black tea.
B
We're known for black tea.
A
No sugar, sugar and everything.
B
Sugar, sugar.
A
And then so. And wait, so we had salmon. Did y' all not have salmon?
B
For y', all, it was salmon, but I can't eat it. I'm allergic.
A
Yours is salmon.
B
I'm starving. There.
A
Oh, God.
B
I stared.
A
So do you. So do you like American breakfast? Like. Like bagels, sausage, egg and cheese?
B
I just, for the first time in years, I've just had pancakes with fried eggs and the turkey sausage. And I was in heaven. But also I'm ready to leave America because there's no way I want to live here, because my dress.
A
Wait, what's going on in America? What could possibly be. I wonder what her reasons are.
B
Oh, my God. So I came in, I went to a Fitting my dress fit perfectly. I've been here two weeks. I go to the event. Las Kalturas event, and I'm hosting. My skirt ripped because my ass grew. Because. Yeah, because. Yeah. No, because you guys have something called protein snacks. So in my mind, I'm thinking you're actually eating protein. So I was eating protein cake, protein cheesecake, protein biscuit, protein, this protein water, protein coffee, dry protein car. Who the has protein car in America, you guys?
A
By the way, this is so.
B
That ripped.
A
Just so you know, Monet is the president of the protein epidemic.
B
Like, how do you guys have so much?
A
So I. Monet protein water. Show your protein water. Yeah, grab your protein water.
B
Like, why would you. Would anyone think to create protein water?
A
Because I only. I eat the protein to supplement. So I'm not trying to eat, like, bad stuff. So I'm not trying to get so much protein. I'm just trying to balance out things that don't have as high in carbs or fat. Well, so maybe you're winning a life. I didn't get invited to Las Cocheresa's awards, so maybe you're. Maybe you're the one winning in life. Who knows?
B
You didn't get invited.
A
Did not get the invite. I did also dissed the Las Vegas.
B
You dissed them like, years.
A
Like, years ago.
B
I'll fix it.
A
We won. I mean, we won the GLAAD award over them. And then I said, well, we beat Las Culturistas. And that was all I said. But I actually don't think they have any beef with me.
B
But if there is, I'll fix it, because I love you. I will say I love the boys so much. You should have been there.
A
It's one of the most fun award shows I've ever been to.
B
Yeah, me too. You should have been.
A
I was like, what? This is like the girl, Rachel Zegler, her performance was incredible.
B
Oh, my God. So iconic.
A
Can I ask about. Can I ask about a few more breakfast foods that you. The American breakfast.
B
Ask me whatever you want. Okay.
A
Have you had lox yet? Oh, you know, salmon. What's lock salmon. Have you had chicken and waffles?
B
Not yet. In America, I've never. I live in Idaho, baby. 99.9 white people. There's no chicken and waffles.
A
English muffins.
B
Love English muffins. Bagels from. I love English muffins from Costco.
A
Oh, bagels.
B
I go to Idaho. That's my favorite thing in Idaho to go to Costco.
A
There nothing else in your gown?
B
Yes, I Love Costco. So, yeah. Which one? Other bagels. Bagels. I love bagels.
A
Like cream cheese or.
B
No, cream cheese and tomatoes.
A
I just made my own protein cream cheese the other day.
B
You what?
A
I just made protein cream cheese.
B
Why? They sell them in the supermarket.
A
No, not. Not the protein one. There's a protein one made from Greek yogurt.
B
Oh, there's a protein.
A
Yes. It's delicious.
B
The one in the supermarket is not protein.
A
No. Money got a pro. Money got protein air. Her air conditioner pumps out protein.
B
There's protein chicken chips.
A
Monet makes them and they smell disgusting.
B
Chips.
A
No.
B
The aliens need to come to America and clean the food system.
A
I agree. Because Monet is part of the.
B
Because there is no way you're. You're literally walking around eating chicken chips.
A
Okay, so if you leave America, would you go back to Dubai?
B
Right now I'm going back to Dubai, and then my son is going to Vietnam, and then I go to London in Paris, Fashion Week.
A
And you guys have houses in all these residences?
B
No, I only have house in Dubai. In America.
A
Okay, got it.
B
In Africa, of course, because of my family. I got the mouse.
A
Yeah, just the three. Yeah, just the three houses.
B
Yeah. But I live. But I really don't live in Idaho that much, so.
A
Got it. Yeah, you just own.
B
So I live in Dubai.
A
Just like. Just like a place. Can I hang out there sometime?
B
Okay, yeah, you're more than welcome to.
A
If I go, I don't want to get.
B
No, you're more than welcome to come. The thing is, like, when we moved to Dubai 22 years ago, we never thought that was going to be our home for life. So we always build our home to go back to us. That was the plan. We never thought we'll be there for 22 years. Years. And now we've been here, there for 23 years and we still live there. But I love it there because I feel so safe. Oh, my God. Can we talk about the children disappearing in America? Since I'm in la, I am in shock.
A
Yeah.
B
Yesterday I couldn't get a hold of my son for like five minutes.
A
And you were growing crazy.
B
I went psychotic because every day my phone goes Amber Alert. Where are the children going?
A
Well, you know, it wouldn't be an Amber alert for a 20 year old.
B
No, I didn't get it.
A
They have amblers for. Like, not 20 year olds. On the ones, the yellow ones. The one that comes on your phone does not discriminate on age. It's like it depends on how grave it Is. I mean, it's not Amber. It's like, what's a Silver alert? It's called a Silver alert when it's old people. An Amber Alert is when it's like, children. Oh, got it.
B
Really? But Caroline, I have never experienced anything.
A
Caroline is a dangerous place.
B
Caroline talks about this honestly. Huh?
A
Caroline from Caroline Stansbury. She talks about, like, how safe Dubai is. She was like. She was like, come. When I come here to America, I'm worried about my kids. Blah, blah, blah. When I'm back home in Dubai, she was like, I feel 100% safe that we're safe.
B
It's true.
A
But we're so brainwashed to think that America is this, like, amazing safe place when it's really not.
B
No, it's not. Honestly. And I love being America because I'm American now.
A
Yeah.
B
Because of course, I sucked for the things I have. But other than that, it's, like, really unsafe. It's really unsafe.
A
I know. America is a very dangerous neighborhood. I mean, they're. There's. I'm willing to bet you money there was probably a shooting in the past seven days. Oh, yeah, for sure. Girl breath today, 24 hours.
B
Yeah. That's just so sad for me, the stealing of children because I grew up in a village. Nobody wants your child because nobody can feed all of us. But I don't know why they are taking these people's care.
A
Yeah. I don't know. The child trafficking is like. It's like. It's like.
B
Oh, you think it's that?
A
Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, a lot of it. They're. What's her name? Gayle King has a whole thing about human trafficking. She talks about. She's a big advocate. Not advocate for gay. Against trafficking. And the stats on trafficking, it will shock you, like, how often it's always happening. So Dubai has anti paparazzi laws.
B
You cannot take a picture of anyone in Dubai.
A
What do you mean? Like, if I go on the street, I can't take a picture of anyone in my phone?
B
No, you can take pictures of yourself and people you are around by asking them permission, but you cannot just take your phone and start just snapping people out of nowhere. Because in Dubai, we have the president walking in the mall. Like, you can say, hi. They're very friendly, the Kings. They're friendly. You can say, hi. You can take. But it's, like, illegal to take pictures of people and just post them on social media without their permission. So, like, the. The rules in America is so different. Like, paparazzi for you guys. You go out, you can just. Any picture can be out. It's not like that.
A
I couldn't imagine not being able to take a picture of someone because there. There's basically. There's practically nowhere in LA or New York or, like, big cities where you're not being filmed.
B
I know.
A
Like, you are constantly being filmed. You mean like cctv? No, between people, social media, people, cc, like, like security footage, everything. There's like, you're. You're. You're being.
B
Oh, you mean like. Oh, no, no. Like outside. We have the best cameras in Dubai. Is that what you mean?
A
Oh, no. So you guys have public cameras for safety?
B
Yeah, we are the best of the best.
A
But I can't just be like, click. I saw Chanel. I am.
B
No, you cannot.
A
What happens?
B
It's illegal.
A
But what's the punishment? Do you know?
B
I don't know. I've never used it. But they're just telling people to respect people. Like, let people be.
A
So we don't do that in America.
B
Yeah. For example. For example, like, you can see David Beckham in the mall. Like the. Literally celebrities in Dubai, walk in peace. Literally walk in peace. Nobody's chasing you around. Nobody care. I go to the mall with no makeup in Dubai.
A
Okay, so they don't. So let's say Beyonce goes to the mall in Dubai. People will not mob her.
B
We will mob Beyonce.
A
What I'm saying, I was like, if. If Rihanna. If Rihanna's walking around the mall, Dubai, she's getting mobbed.
B
Yeah. You know, I'm very good friends with her.
A
Don't, girl.
B
I am like, I text. We text each other.
A
She's.
B
I swear, she's the nicest person ever.
A
I can tell.
B
Like, I party with. I went to dinner with her, and I'm telling you, she is so funny, but so beautiful. And she sent me the most beautiful message that I framed in my house. Can I read it for you? Because I didn't even understand the English she said.
A
Obsessed with her.
B
Like, I'll tell you what she sent me. The first message she sent me me.
A
Can you do it? And can you do it in Rihanna's accent?
B
I cannot. I wish. She has the.
A
The Bajan.
B
Yeah. She goes. She goes. So I went to dinner with her. Right? She goes, a. It's really. I had so much fun at dinner. Your top tier hangout status. I was like, top tier hang. I was like, what is top tier?
A
That means that, like, you're like, I've
B
never heard of that.
A
It's like her list of people she Hangs out with. You're, like, in the top, so. Which is probably millions. I want people to hang out with.
B
Oh, that was so. I. I was like, what is doctor? But this what really cut my ass. She was like, I'm sure you know that. And I was like. Because I worship her, and I really admire her. I can text about anything. She's the most sweetest girl in the world, you know? But this is what she sent me that really. She goes, I hope there's something or someone in this world that gives you love. You are such a. You bring a lot of light.
A
Oh, I love that, babe.
B
I framed it in my house. House, because I want to wake up every morning and just remind. Because, you know, like, sometimes you don't think you're a bad and stuff. You know, we have those days, and just, like, now, every day, I'm a bad bitch.
A
If I write you a message. That's nice, can we get it framed?
B
Yes, please.
A
Yeah.
B
I want to say something from you. I will frame it, I promise you. And I will send you a video of me framing because you owe me a good message and some money.
A
I sent you tons of great messages. Yeah, you do sometimes, but the money part. Send the money.
B
The money. Send me the money.
A
Send the money.
B
Send me the money. I'm a Somali pirate. You played with the wrong one. I'm. I'm a Somali pirate. You played.
A
Are you Kenyan or Somali? Which one is it?
B
Bloody Somali.
A
Wait, Dylan has the money. Get it from him. Gabby has the money. Lord Ivor has the money.
B
You. When I see you, I see my money that I don't have in my bank account.
A
I, I, I see that for you, Aon.
B
Thank you, my. Thank you.
A
Well, we. We have a thing on the podcast where Monet is trying to get in Rihanna's good graces, and I want to know if you can help with this.
B
You're lying.
A
No. No. Because what happens is Rihanna invites a lot of drag queens to come work with her.
B
Yes.
A
But we. For whatever reason, we don't. We. We actually can't figure it out. Why she won't. It's because of Bob. Because Bob comes on this podcast, and he, like, makes fun of her accent, and I think she's associating me with Bob. I don't make fun of Rex. I do her accent.
B
Why would you do that to me?
A
I don't make fun of Rex. Just like when you. When were you making fun of sh. We do her accent, Bob. Whoa, whoa. You do a whole thing. You be like, I'm doing my best. One time you said that. She sounds like Sebastian.
B
Sound like that.
A
No, she. Okay.
B
She's so romantic.
A
I'll do my Rihanna.
B
I'll tell you if it is.
A
Hold on. Wait, let me do. Let me do. I'll do. I'll do it. I'll just read. Can you give me something to read? Give me the Gettysburg Address and I'll read it as well.
B
I can be here for 10 hours.
A
Here we go. So this is my genuine attempt to do my best. Rihanna impersonation nation. Oh, Jesus Christ. Just. Just four scoring seven years ago. That there's the opening line from it. Yeah, there it goes the black. Now this. This is like literally like spot on. Rihanna. Four score and seven years ago, our father brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated
B
to the proposition nothing. Not even 1%. That is literally not even 1%, honey. Not even one.
A
Let's hear you do it. Sorry, I'll just pull it back up. Yeah, let's. Yeah, let's hear your.
B
Honestly, I don't know how to do accent, but does not sound like that. You sound angry. She's so pretty calm like four school
A
and seven years ago.
B
No, no. You sound like Star wars man. You know in the Star wars sheep. You sound like Dark Vader. You need to put that down. It is not it.
A
I sound just like Rihanna. Anyway. See, so this is. He does stuff like.
B
I can see why yourself ex.
A
Yeah.
B
And come hang out with me.
A
I will.
B

On being beautiful:
