style, every home My name is Bob the Drag Queen and I'm Monet X Change and this is sibling rivalry.

[Monet X Change]

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We look back on the year 2025

[Monet X Change]

and we find out what made Bob say this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would rather eat shit. And we find out what made Monet say this.

[Monet X Change]

Honesty is impressive.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hey y'. All. You can come see me, Bob the Drag Queen on Broadway starting January 27th seventh at the AL Hirschfeld Theater in the amazing show Moulin. If Jacob was in here.

[Monet X Change]

If Jacob was in here, how the fuck would you would you know?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We wouldn't do our podcast at all if Jacob wasn't here. We can't do our podcast at all without Jacob. I'm very grateful that he's here. Anyway, you can get [e-mail] and I'll be playing Harold Zidler. What are you up to, Monet?

[Monet X Change]

I am doing the High Heels, Bad Knees tour. I am coming across America to different cities. You can go to monashade.com to get tickets and come see me in my High Heels, Bad Knees, Stand up tour. I'm very proud of this material. I think it's some really funny stuff and I can't wait for people to come see it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Have you thought about hi Ho's? Bad Attitude?

[Monet X Change]

That song High High Hopes, no Limit. Panic at the Disco. Yeah, Panic at the Disco. They just take songs and they like pitch it up, right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So Panic is one person. I found this out.

[Monet X Change]

This one wasn't a band.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It used to be a band and now it's just the guy.

[Monet X Change]

But it was a band.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes, it was. Yes, it was. Because now the guy. I chime in. When haven't you people ever heard of. And they did. Into the Unknown.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but I mean, after Adina.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There's all. Every Disney. So all the Disney movies, they do a pop cover of.

[Monet X Change]

Of all Disney songs.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, Every Disney movie, they take one song from the show and they do a pop cover. So that's why Celine Dion sang Beauty and the Beast. That's why Vanessa Williams sang not Colors of the Wind.

[Monet X Change]

Colors of the Wind. No, because she sang the original in the one that's in the movie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, she does not sing that.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

They play it during the credits of the movie.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Okay. It's in the credits.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And they had Demi Lovato do Let It Go, right?

[Monet X Change]

Did she? Well, you know, Disney did that whole album where it was Tori Kelly, I, Rena Grande. They all redid remade Disney songs.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I remember that because I can't remember who did. King King like me. A man like you.

[Monet X Change]

It was good. Oh, I want to be like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

I forget who it was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can't remember.

[Monet X Change]

It was. It was good though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But yeah. So they always. They always have some major celebrity or some sort of a pop vocalist. Do that one.

[Monet X Change]

Fallout Boy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Fall Out Boy. That was so. Yeah. Panic of the Disc.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

I think the Jonas Brothers, maybe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Panic at the Disco did the one for Frozen two.

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, did you know that Zootopia is outselling for good?

[Monet X Change]

Let me tell you something. Zootopia. Zootopia 1. The OG is one of my favorite anime movies of all time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. Zootopia went. Is hard. I've never seen it. People are going crazy for Zootopia too. It might end up being one of the highest selling moves of the year. I mean, I don't think it's gonna outdo Sinners because I think Sinners is the highest selling.

[Monet X Change]

I hope Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler win at the Globes. The. I know they got. I know they got nominated for Globes. They haven't dropped Oscars yet. Right? Nominations.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, but I could see Coogler winning for a film. I don't know if I could see Michael B. Jordan considering because I feel like those kind of movies, those kind of actors in those movies don't normally win like scary movies, action films, they don't normal. The actors don't normally win Oscars for that. They do sometimes.

[Monet X Change]

Like Wakanda Forever got nominated. Was like, oh my God. Was it an Oscar nod for actors? Yeah. Not actors for. For the film. No, no. Angela. Angela Bass was nominated for supporting. Yeah. For Oscar work.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But yeah. So right now Zootopia is clocking in at $1,136,670,004. And for good. Is it even on the list?

[Monet X Change]

It's not in the top 10. Wait, what is this for the year? What is this?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

What is this Highest grossing film. So I guess it's not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is this high grossing? 20, 25?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Yeah, I don't think it is. It was maybe. I think For Good had the highest grossing opening weekend.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe there's no way.

[Monet X Change]

For Good is not one of the. I just don't believe. And the number one spot is a movie called Ney Zha by Beijing and Light. And it had.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

It was a huge hit in China and Asia, but it didn't make the crossover to the us. It kind of flopped when the US version came out.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, wait, Neja for good?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Neja. It did double Zootopia.

[Monet X Change]

Everybody said double zootopia. That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

2,215,000,693.

[Monet X Change]

You know, yesterday, Andy, we were talking about. I don't know how we're talking about India. And Andy was like. He says. I was like, what? He was like, well, you know, India is about the size of America. And I was like. And I was like. I knew that wasn't right. I was like, really? And we're talking. I was like. I was like, I know they have one point something billion people, no population.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They are way. It's the most populated country in the world.

[Monet X Change]

But I was like in terms of the size. And I was like, there's no way. And then as we were Talking. I was like, Andy, there's no way. There's no way. India is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's about half a size America. Yeah, about half. Australia is almost the. Almost the exact same size. I think. I think the largest country is Russia, and I'm pretty sure the second largest country is Canada. Oh, Canada. As far as. As far as land. Land mass goes. But I think Russia is the. The largest country by land mass. And I'm pretty sure that Canada's number two. And I think that. Yeah, Russia. Oh, Antarctica. Technically. Is that Antarctica country?

[Monet X Change]

No. Well, should we go to. Should we go. Should we go. Can I finish?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Go ahead.

[Monet X Change]

Should we go to my Auntie Annie?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Am I Antarctica? I would love to go to your aunt's house. I don't have any desire to be in Antarctica.

[Monet X Change]

So cold. I mean, you and I, we. We have to go. We have to do that little polar plunge thing. We will not be doing that, Bob. You live once, girl, you got to, like, just try stuff out. You leave. You get one bite of the apple.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You have to try stuff you want to do or something. Like mon. Eat. Eat a piece of. You got to try. No, you got to try.

[Monet X Change]

Not the same.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You have to try stuff out.

[Monet X Change]

I want to go to. To Antarctica, girl. Come on now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My desire to eat. Eat shit is similar to my desire to do an Antarctic plunge.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, if you had a gun to head, which one are you doing?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Eating the shit.

[Monet X Change]

Really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. A spoonful versus jumping in the fucking Antarctic depths of those waters. One, I cannot swim. Two, I don't like the cold. I would rather eat shit.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

You would have a life vest in this scenario. Like, you would be.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't want to do it.

[Monet X Change]

They connect you to a rope.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I feel like no one's listening to me.

[Monet X Change]

To quote you. Let me be clear.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let me be clear.

[Monet X Change]

You have a gun.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There is.

[Monet X Change]

Hold on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't even have to cock the gun. There is a revolver. You won't even get the gun put on my head before I'm like, okay,

[Monet X Change]

how big is a spoon? Like a tablespoon or like a ladle? Okay, this is. Okay, I'm telling you, this is a ladle.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So, you know, you do it too much.

[Monet X Change]

It's a ladle packed with dog feces. They said you ate this ladle. Or jump in the Antarctic cold.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How long I gotta be in the water?

[Monet X Change]

It's literally you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm just getting specifics.

[Monet X Change]

It seems the whole ordeal maybe lasts maybe. Maybe 10 seconds.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How long am I in the. I'm in the water for 10 seconds.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Like you jump in and they pull you right back out. This is a little picture.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What am I wearing?

[Monet X Change]

I think you wear a bathing suit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jesus. Am I jumping? Because I've seen. Because I believe that Marty Gold Cummings did it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, she did.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But she jumped through ice like she was.

[Monet X Change]

I didn't see that one.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe I made that part up.

[Monet X Change]

No, I thought they cut a hole

[Bob the Drag Queen]

in the ice and she jumped through.

[Monet X Change]

The tide takes you one in a. Marty's gone forever in Antarctica.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, she's on. According to you. I don't think. I don't think there's a tide. I think they were doing a place that doesn't have a strong tide.

[Monet X Change]

But I think when you, when, when you. So I'm not, you know, super versed in ice plunging and ice fishing, but I think you can't control the current is under there, like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, ice fishing is usually on a lake and there's no currents in lakes. There's no tide at a lake. So typically speaking, I. Fishing is done on a lake. Have you ever walked on a lake? A frozen lake?

[Monet X Change]

No, and I would never. When I see people do that shit, I'm like, how do you. Are y' all fucking ice experts? Like, how do you know? I'm. I'm sure there are ways to tell because people who are, who do this, they can tell, but I would never trust it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When I lived in Minneapolis, I did, I did walk on a lake. And I mean, I saw a car on there, so I was like, I'm good.

[Monet X Change]

You saw what?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A car. Oh, someone drove their car onto the lake.

[Monet X Change]

There was a car on the lake border. That car was the. Was when. When the bow broke.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

It didn't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I walked on and I walked off.

[Monet X Change]

Got it. Have you ever seen those really. Those really, really, really dope reels?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But if it's a ladle versus jumping in. But then I have to. Then I have to like be out there in a bathing suit. Oh, how big is this ladle? Ladle she ate up.

[Monet X Change]

You remember that mercy song? He ate up on the ladle, the ladle, the ladle and it ate up on the ladle and his name would. Nathan. Dumb.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. Okay. If it's a. If it's a. If it's a. A like a kitchen spoon I'd rather eat the kitchen spoon if it's a ladle I'd rather jump in the lake

[Monet X Change]

Cuz it's a ladle. You are.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would like to take the chick, take the spoon and then scrub it so that's flat. My desire is to scoop up the shit, flatten it out, and then. Can I put sugar on it?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can I put sugar on it? Can I chase it?

[Monet X Change]

Yes, you can chase it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm gonna chase it with lemon. With lemon. With lemon juice.

[Monet X Change]

But I want. I want to chase it with Clorox.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's dangerous. I would chase it with lemon juice to kill the taste.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

And.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I mean, here's the thing. Here's the real tea, okay? For all you motherfuckers out there, if you are eating booty, I've probably eaten something before. You've absolutely eaten shit before.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So, like.

[Monet X Change]

And all you feel is that, no,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

not me, honey, but I. Juice from my man.

[Monet X Change]

I'm clean, honey. But no, there is still fecal matter and shit. There's no way can we not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can we not. There is no.

[Monet X Change]

Can we move on?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm, like, getting ill. Can we. I beg of you. If you could ever do anything kind.

[Monet X Change]

Can we move on, Bob? Okay, overall, if you had to give it 2025 A grade. You're giving your 2025 A grade? A letter grade. What. What grade is 2025 getting for you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I gotta compare it to some other years, right? 2020 is getting a solid four.

[Monet X Change]

A letter grade. Who? You get a four? That was rude.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was rude. That was rude. That was pretty fucking rude. 2020 is getting a D. Okay. For me, personally, 2024 is getting an F. Yeah. I would give 2025 a C plus, maybe a B minus.

[Monet X Change]

Okay. Yeah. For me, I would say I'm in the realm of A. I'm about to save a place, actually. I'm getting a. I'm kidding me. I don't know how to traders this year, but yet doing trailers. But now I'm going to see it in 26. So I think cena is obviously the thing. You're like, oh, I got to finally see this thing I did. So I'm going to give. I'm going to give 2025. Not going to engage this year. Okay. A B. I give 2025 a B minus.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. Yeah. I mean, what year gets an A?

[Monet X Change]

A would have to be. I would say A is 2019. It was a great year. I won Drag Race that year. I had exchange rate that year. I did a lot of really amazing touring that year. I think that was the year I paid off my grandmother's car. I think that was a. That was like, oh, my God. I felt like that year. It was a year that kept on giving time. Was a really amazing opportunity thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

2016 and 2018 were both A's for me. I won drag race in 2018, and I kind of became 2016. I mean, and I started traveling. 2018 was a great year. I was in Berkeley. I met Jacob. I got back into theater after not doing it for almost 10 years. But I don't think 2025 was as good as those years for me.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But it wasn't. But it's. But it's not been terrible. I mean, we.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

We.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I feel like we went through a lot of really crummy years, but also, I think I'm kind of grading on a. On a. On a sliding scale now, because 2020 was so crummy.

[Monet X Change]

Right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That I. I'm appreciating. It's like in New York City, when it finally gets warm and it's like 60 degrees, you're like, baby, I'm wearing shorts.

[Monet X Change]

Pull a plunge, honey. Exactly.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm gonna put on a tank top because you've lived through this. Horrid. I think it snowed in New York, by the way.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, what do you mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think New York got its first snow.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah, girl. They said this year, 2026. The winter 2025, 26 is going to be brutal for New York. Just in time to welcome the Ice Queen back home. It's going to be a brutal year. This is going to be cold as fuck.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I've lived through. I got to say, is this crazy? I just got so used to the New York wind. I lived there through the worst snow, the worst winter on record in, like, 100 years. Apparently, you were there, too. It was like 2014, maybe 2013, something like that. And I just got through it. Something. I just got so used to the New York City winter that I was like. When it came around, I was kind of annoyed, but I was like, it kind of is what it is. I got to the point where I just don't mind the New York City winters for some reason.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, again, we talked about this. Since moving here, I think my butt is thin again. If I had to live through it, obviously I can. The cold's not gonna kill me. It's not gonna break me. But if I can choose, bitch, hell, the fuck no does break people. Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I've also never really had seasonal depression. I got that year round.

[Monet X Change]

Shit. No, I definitely go. I go through. I get seasonal depression, for sure. It started when I moved to, when I lived in Portland for those. For that time. Because Portland, it is so gray, and it gets so dark, so early, blah, blah, blah. I was like, and it's so cold and dreary. I think that's where my seasonal depression was birthed was when I lived in Portland. I was like, oh, this is a real thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you still have it here in la?

[Monet X Change]

I do find myself in the winter

[Bob the Drag Queen]

because it is December 15th right now. It is warm outside.

[Monet X Change]

It is warm. But the getting dark early really bugs me out. Like when I look up at like 4 o' clock and it's already dark, I'm like, God damn, my day is gone. That's why these y' all niggas that live in Iceland and these countries that, you know this in Scotland, you wanted to go to Iceland and I went to Iceland. I mean, I did it for a week, not for my life. Cause they do that for six months out of the year. Well, you know this in Scotland. I didn't realize that when you film the show Traders, it's summertime and it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They get. It's cold, it's cold.

[Monet X Change]

But why is it more than super cold for us? But they get so many hours of daylight. Like, it doesn't start getting dark until like about 11:00pm and then the sun rises again about 3:30, 4:00 clock in the morning.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I could never see myself living in the Scottish Highlands.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of

[Monet X Change]

unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

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 [e-mail] switch upfront payment

[Advertiser]

of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 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.

[Monet X Change]

Did y' all have midges?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Probably. We, we, we were more concerned about the ticks. They were, they were like. They were like, the ticks. There are ticks everywhere. And they were like the peacocks.

[Monet X Change]

Did you see the peacocks?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, we got a stern talking to about those peacocks.

[Monet X Change]

Like to not touch them.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do not. Don't look at them. They were like, this is their fucking house. Like they live here. They were like, don't talk to them, don't touch them, don't feed them. And if they walk by, get out of their way. They were like, you Respect these peacocks.

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know, I. But I'm.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's their home.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but, you know, they have one. They had one by your house in. In New York.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A peacock?

[Monet X Change]

Yes. They have one that lives on the street, that lives on the grounds of St. John the Divine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I didn't know. You mean the one over at 106.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, 106.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That big ass. Yeah. I gotta say, I'm not into churches. You gotta go see the church at Amsterdam in 110. It is a stunning church. I think it's the largest cathedral in the northeast.

[Monet X Change]

Is it really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it is. And they. And they. And they built it by hand. All those carvings are done by hand. They're still building it. It is the. Is it the large or. It's like the longest built? Something about. There's some. Some record.

[Monet X Change]

It has.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And there's this. There's this super weird sculpture outside where they. It's like a. It's like a crab on a. In a giraffe and on an angel's back. And you never seen the sculpture? It's like an angel fighting with a goat. And there's like a crab on it and there's a giraffe in it. It's like a crazy fucking sculpture.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, this is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I used to go by that sculpture all the time.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah. Giraffe and an angel. Yeah, on a crab. So for our audio listeners. So they're standing on a crab and there is a giraffe which is kind of fucking a goat that an angel is wrestling with.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Fucking. That's not. His crotch is way back there.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, listen, this is clearly some crazy creature. You don't know where his pussy is at or his penises.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I thought it was.

[Monet X Change]

It was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was a giraffe and there's like a moon at the bottom.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, this is. This seems pretty secular for a church sculpture, right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, there's an angel.

[Monet X Change]

That's the only thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like what. This looks like something that would be in the Bible. This one looks this. Like something would be in the Bible.

[Monet X Change]

This scene.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Have you read Revelations?

[Monet X Change]

And the Revelations get crazy, crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And have you seen the way they depict angels?

[Monet X Change]

I know they're not. They're not pretty.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, it's mad creepy.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, this is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is actually more tame than what would be in the Bible.

[Monet X Change]

So go. We say all this to say at St. John the Divine, this church on 1 10th in Amsterdam in New York City, there are peacocks that live on the grounds there.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And if you're there, just Walk over to Broadway in 110 and have Coronet pizza.

[Monet X Change]

It's great pizza. Oh, my God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You got me giant slices.

[Monet X Change]

I just say that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Huge slices of pizza.

[Monet X Change]

So good on my.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Me and Cracker and Mo used to go there all the time.

[Monet X Change]

Damn it. No, I want to.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then go by the west side market. Monet, love that. Money was obsessed with.

[Monet X Change]

Salads were great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Money was obsessed. This is back when Monet tried to convince us she only eats organic. If y' all don't know. By the way, I want my $10 and then in cash.

[Monet X Change]

And you also owe me $20.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What is this from? Where's your.

[Monet X Change]

It was. It was because you said on the podcast. And listen. I listened to the episode. You said that I called Darlene a

[Bob the Drag Queen]

man, and I said I did not

[Monet X Change]

call her a man.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You said.

[Monet X Change]

You said Monet. Yes, you did. Rewind. I said I did not do. Exactly. But I. Exactly. I said I did not call her, man. I called her dude. And then we bet it. We bet $20. Show me. It's in the episode. What do you mean show you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because everyone called you out.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, and then you owe me $20

[Bob the Drag Queen]

because you said I called also Monet exchange videos. No, we did not. You owe me money. She crunched the numbers. You owe me at least eighteen hundred dollars, and I'll accept my $10 this very second.

[Monet X Change]

Joe, Jacob's going to run. Run the.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Do we say it in the Patreon exclusive one or the. The public one?

[Monet X Change]

I.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you go to their comments, though, it'll be under the comments because everyone kept me, like, monetary. Absolutely. You try to gaslight me.

[Monet X Change]

You guys, let me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you have $10?

[Monet X Change]

You owe me.

[Marketing/Advertiser]

You.

[Monet X Change]

You are net.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monet, We've crunched the numbers. You owe me money, but you owe me.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, so then the last thing. I owe you 10, and you owe

[Bob the Drag Queen]

me 20 from the. Every bet we've made.

[Monet X Change]

So what about the bet about the $20 about Darlene?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's still. You owe me over $2,000.

[Monet X Change]

So now you reneging, nigga.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, Monet, you owe me money.

[Monet X Change]

But we said. We're talking about this episode.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm talking about all the money, and I want my. Because. Because what is you owe me more, so there's no me paying you, so I will accept.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, so you'll never. You.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You'll never pay me because, Monet, you're in a deficit right now. I don't owe you anything. You are.

[Monet X Change]

What is this magical number you're talking

[Bob the Drag Queen]

about, Jacob, go To go to. Go to Monet. Exchange videos on YouTube. Run to the end of the video and find out how much money Monet owes me. So how do I owe you money? Make it make sense. And we never said we're talking about this. We never said we're starting over.

[Monet X Change]

I did.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I can't. You can't wipe your debt from me. That's not how that works. Did you. Did you call your student loans and say, I've started over? I've decided we're good now? Is that how that works?

[Monet X Change]

Wait. Wicked Christmas music, Jacob. Are you listening to Wicked Christmas, y'? All? Yalls obsession with Wicked needs to be

[Bob the Drag Queen]

sunny again and again. Who bought up Wicked here?

[Monet X Change]

Because I just saw it on the screen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You brought up Wicked? Yeah. Run it to the end. You were at the video. What happened? It was here. It was right at the top. Or maybe.

[Monet X Change]

Maybe bets, make your way to the top.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, but type in bets. But, yeah, you owe me money, and you trying to get $20 of me is some weird extortion that you're not gonna get. You are gonna give me my motherfucking money or I'm gonna beat you up.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, God. Wait, pause really quick. I look. I was looking at my old confessionals on Drag Race. The way I allowed myself to go on TV should. It was criminal.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, how did you gonna keep me?

[Monet X Change]

No eyebrows, not a stitch of makeup on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's wrong with no eyebrows? Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no, no. What's wrong with having no eyebrows?

[Monet X Change]

I look crazy without any eyebrows. Have my little glasses on, not a stitch of makeup. I look like I would dee drag the night before and get on for my interviews the next morning. Like, hey, I look haggard. I've been reviewing on my YouTube, reviewing my old drag, my old audition tapes, and for my season eight audition tape, I did it at Ms. Cracker's house, at Ms. Cracker's little apartment she had over there on 138th Street. And Devob. I look sad. I look crazy. It looked like I just came from Barracuda or whatever and just was slopping this video together. I was like, no wonder they didn't pick me. I looked awful.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't remember. I don't think I've seen that video. I think I watched her.

[Monet X Change]

You watched all of them?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All right, skip to the end so we can find out how much Monet owes me.

[Monet X Change]

You look good here, though.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Let's get.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's get the tally. What is this?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

This is a compilation of all the pets.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Does you still owe me money.

[Monet X Change]

How do I owe you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How to get more name on a Combat Smash Bros. A Thousand Pageant Lingerie Chase Bank Weight. I don't understand. I don't get this. I don't see the final number.

[Monet X Change]

That is the final number.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Oh. I mean, I think it's 2000. 1000 for Mortal Kombat, 1000 for Smash Brothers. Whatever. This one is zero.

[Monet X Change]

We never did the pageant.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then where did this negative $10 come from?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

I think it was. She was right about the Chase Bank.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, how do you. What is. What is this? What does that mean? How does that total.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, this mono's Bob $1990. And you just lost a $10 bet. So I'll put it up to. I'll put it up to 2,000. And I was 20, so. And now you 20, so now we're right back at 1,990.

[Monet X Change]

That is incorrect. It'll be 1980.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

1990. And then I won 10.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, so that's 2,000 and then 20.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So

[Monet X Change]

we should have been on that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you owe me 19. 1980. So how. How is. How do you figure I'm gonna give you 20 when you owe me $1,080 starting over? We did not say that.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, we did.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, we did not. In my mind, Malay, you owe me money. This is why. This is why. If you, anyone out there, don't trust this, because one you know, she will scam you at DragCon. You scammed that guy at Dragon. He confronted you, and the fans cleared you. I'm glad they. They cleared you. Cleared you.

[Monet X Change]

That's how you act after not seeing you for so long. You haven't seen me in a week, and this is how you act when you see me?

[Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You were ignoring my calls.

[Monet X Change]

It was really.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I did not.

[Monet X Change]

I literally called you back the next day. Y'.

[Narrator/Advertiser]

All.

[Monet X Change]

Here's the thing about Bob the drag queen. Bob will call you, and you miss a call. You call Bob back. He does not answer the phone, and

[Bob the Drag Queen]

then Bob will call you the next day.

[Monet X Change]

Like, Monday.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What happened?

[Monet X Change]

I tried to call you. I was like, I called you back. He's like, yeah, but I called you, and you didn't answer the phone. I was like, I know. And I called you back. You act like, I didn't try to call you back.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't see the call. Maybe I was on a plane.

[Monet X Change]

I called you back, and then. You can't leave Bob a voice note because for the past 15 years, his voicemail has been full.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who Checks voice notes. Who checks voicemails? Literally, who do you check voicemails, Kane?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

I read them now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Have you checked. Do you check voicemails?

[Marketing/Advertiser]

Yes, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. I have not checked the voicemail.

[Monet X Change]

Just go and delete everything.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I don't even know how to. I don't even know how to check my voicemails. I don't. I literally. I genuinely do not remember how to check voicemails. I remember when we got visual voicemails and I was so happy.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

You call your number.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I call my own phone number.

[Monet X Change]

Well, on iPhone, it's just. It's just a voicemail. A voicemail app. I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There's a voice note app, but I have. You have to like, log into it or something.

[Monet X Change]

How?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

It's like a four digit code.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't. Yeah, I don't. I have not. I have not checked the voicemail in literally in years.

[Monet X Change]

Can you talk in the voice now?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You can literally send a voice now.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

It's been full since we started dating.

[Monet X Change]

Literally, girl, is because I've known Bob. His voice has been full.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Just send a voice note. Why you don't read your text messages.

[Monet X Change]

Thank you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I listen to the voice notes. I listen to every voice note I've ever been sent. So if you. Why do we even still have voicemail? If you can literally just send a voice note?

[Monet X Change]

Because sometimes. Okay, because. Because if someone is calling that doesn't text you, then they leave a voicemail after they've called.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, if people do not check voicemails. Comment below.

[Monet X Change]

Comment below.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you do not check voicemails. People don't check voicemails.

[Monet X Change]

Okay. Comment below if you do check your voicemail.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And how old are you? Only person who I probably check my voice are my uncles and my aunts. No one else in my life checks their voicemails.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Jacob, can we post a poll to the Patreon, please?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I have to know, like, who's checking voicemails?

[Monet X Change]

I'm checking my voicemail.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I want to tell you.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

In years.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I have not. We know. I used to get visual voicemails. I used to read. My only people I sent me were my mom and fucking Jacqueline. Oh, my God. And the two people, they're all full of Jacqueline and my mom's voicemail and they're gone now. So there's no one else to send voicemails to me. There is no one else that send voicemails to me.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, so we're both gonna be here. So people listening to is this episode coming out On New Year's Eve?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Yeah, that's the plan.

[Monet X Change]

So you're gonna be in town? I'm gonna be in town.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nick's gonna be in town.

[Monet X Change]

Nick Smith is gonna be in town. Should we do a big, like, New Year's Eve party? I'm so mad you guys missed the engagement party. It was really lovely. It was really lovely.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Must have been nice.

[Monet X Change]

We dressed up the whole house. It was catered. We had a bartender.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was really. Taylor told me.

[Monet X Change]

It was really fun.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Kane, did you enjoy the party? Oh, wasn't invited.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So no one in this room was invited?

[Monet X Change]

I just didn't even think to invite everyone.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hey, and we know you didn't think to invite any. The people that you see at work all the time. You didn't think to invite any of them.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Did you invite Jay Defeo?

[Monet X Change]

No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did Nate have fun at the party?

[Monet X Change]

Nate was not in town.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, was he invited, though?

[Monet X Change]

He was not in town.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, you didn't know that?

[Monet X Change]

I did know that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You didn't know. You found out the day before.

[Monet X Change]

No, that's not true. Cause Kane knows. Like, two weeks ago, we were doing the pox. I was like, what are y' all doing for the Christmas?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you asked him what he was doing, you heard that Kane was free, and you still didn't invite him?

[Monet X Change]

No, because I think in my mind, I thought they were both going to New York for the thing, but you

[Bob the Drag Queen]

think the can was gonna run themselves.

[Monet X Change]

But you're staying here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You thought the can was gonna run themselves?

[Monet X Change]

So Kane can't live his life. Once we're recording a podcast, Kane has to stay in la.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Now, Kane works, and Kane is so professional that he schedules his trips out of town, around wherever.

[Monet X Change]

But it's a holiday, so make some concessions for your employees, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Kane wanted to be here. Okay, but I'm saying.

[Monet X Change]

But let's say Kane wanted to go to New York with.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He's not allowed to. Might.

[Monet X Change]

So what should we do? Like, should we do an extravaganza for New Year's Eve? So last year, for New Year's Eve, I.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You got that from me.

[Monet X Change]

What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That thing you do with your voice.

[Monet X Change]

You want to be so bad.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I saw it. It's kind of crazy. Last year, you never did that before you met me.

[Monet X Change]

You make me sick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Last year, that's literally the way you

[Monet X Change]

think the world revolves around you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Eating my nachos. Do you want to eat anything?

[Monet X Change]

But where you think the world of war is around you? Honestly, it's impressive to be that naive.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Different times before the ad break.

[Monet X Change]

That would be. I've been trying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There have been times when I've gone back to eat my nachos, and they were just gone.

[Monet X Change]

Like, the way you think the world revolves around you, the way you think you are the center of the universe is insane. So last year, I don't know what I did. I think Andy and I. No, last year, Andy and I, we went to a. No, I don't know what I did last year. What did you do last year?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We were in Mexico. You were invited and you chose not to come. That is actually true. That is true. That's not even a bit. You said you didn't want to come.

[Monet X Change]

I really need to find out what I did last year. Sorry. Go to find out.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

I'm calling.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, while you do it, we're going to take a break.

[Monet X Change]

Let's take a break. What did y' all do when y' all went to pv? Did y', all, like, watch the ball drop? Did y' all go to a restaurant?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We went to dinner, and then we went to the strip club. No, the strip club was the night before we went to dinner. Then we went to the. To the. To the clubs, like, just to go to the regular clubs. And the strip clubs were the night before.

[Monet X Change]

The strippers in pv, they are aggressive. Girl, they will. They, they. They will get you together. Do you know they close down. Did y' all go to the really seedy one across the bridge?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We did not.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, that one is woo. But that one's shut down now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I found one where they knew who I was and they were gonna treat us nicely.

[Monet X Change]

The Wed dreams one with the water.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, we went to the one next door to that one.

[Monet X Change]

Okay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, yeah, the one just passed it.

[Monet X Change]

That one, they're doing, like. They're doing, like, stunts and acrobats at that one.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So there's one that's upstairs. It's, like, bluish and, like, really overly lit. Went up there. We didn't like it. We went to the wet one. The dancers there were too aggressive. And then the one in the middle, it was just right. And I loved that when I was the madam, I was living my dreams.

[Monet X Change]

Okay?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So then I would sit there and be like, who do you want? And I would take money and I would go to get the dad and be like, you're for my friend Mateo. You're for Mike.

[Monet X Change]

Matteo indulged.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nick did not indulge. Mateo indulged, but Mateo ended up. He says it in his special. You should Go watch his special. But he literally ends up. He literally ends up, like, talking to the guy about his candle business. Like, we send Mateo over to get a lap dance, and then we look back, and they're sitting side by side, and he's telling Mateo about his business.

[Monet X Change]

That's hilarious. Yeah. I was like, wait, why? So does Nick do dances make Nick uncomfortable?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just think he likes it.

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just think he's just not into it. So. But he. But he'll. But he'll. He'll. He's not, like, a grumpy. He's like. He's enjoying his time, but he's just not. He's just on his phone and he's, like, making jokes and stuff.

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, it's also, like, he doesn't like the dancing clubs either, so he was

[Monet X Change]

just like, so what the. So. So Nick is so.

[Advertiser]

He is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nobody's having fun, though. Like, we went to the point party, and so Mitch really wanted to go to this, like, bear in space bear kind of party. It was like. It was like, hairy guys. It was all hairy guys and harnesses and stuff. So we go upstairs, and Nick and Jacob are just over to the side. And then Mikey's like, I want to go into the club. So we. Me and Mikey go in, and we're, like, having fun. And then we lose Mitch. Mitch is getting swarmed. Mitch is very hot, and they all want to put their hands on him. He looks like all the guys in there, right? And then at one point, I. We go.

[Monet X Change]

Scratch was fine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then one point, I look back at Mikey, and then Mikey shirtless.

[Monet X Change]

And then Mikey on shirtless.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, well, Mikey. Mikey went to go, like, check his clothes, and then I was like, oh, shit. Mikey's. It was like, literally, like, I look and he was dressed, and then I looked back, and he, like, checked his clothes, and I was like, oh, shit. So then me and Jacob and ended up sitting in the corner, and I went. I was, like, bouncing back and forth and then. But then it was like we were too close to the smoking section, so I got too smoky.

[Monet X Change]

What was Mateo.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Mateo. He didn't really love that club so much, so. Because before that, we were karaoke. We. We had, like, taking over this karaoke bar, and we were all doing performances, of course, y'.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

All.

[Monet X Change]

Such of Disney songs, you faggots.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Even. Even. But Mitch didn't love the character. But he still. He was. Everyone there was a good sport. Even if. Even if it wasn't. They didn't love. Everyone was a pretty Good sport for the most part.

[Monet X Change]

See? And on shows like that, I will Irish goodbye the group. I will Irish goodbye everyone. Because I just, like, if I, like, find a hookup or something, and then

[Bob the Drag Queen]

you can go hook up. You can go hook up.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, but I'm saying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But you would, like, leave if you didn't want to do what the group is doing?

[Monet X Change]

No, no, no. I'll do what the group is doing. But let's say, like, the group wants to stay out until 4, 4am or like, 5am and I'm tired by two other guys. I'm out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, that's fine. We did that, too. I ended up hooking up this guy, but he wasn't Mexican. I think he's from, like, Portland.

[Monet X Change]

He's from Portland.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He's from Puerto Rican. He's Puerto Rican. He was this, like, guy from, like, this. This, like, random guy from Portland that I. That I was talking to.

[Monet X Change]

And so I went to PV for Thanksgiving. I went with. Dejuan invited me to go. And dejuan's friends were all. Dejuan has these other friends that he's met. Cause dejuan goes to PV three or four times a year. These other guys he met in pv. And one was celebrating her birthday, and it was like, a bunch of these, like, hot, black gay guys who are all flight attendants in pv.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I want to hook up with a flight attendant so bad. They're so hot.

[Monet X Change]

Everyone was very beautiful.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And the Delta flight attendants, those guys are wearing slutty, slutty clothes.

[Monet X Change]

Shout out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They always look so slutty. And I don't know what it is, but I feel like every man who works for Delta has a big fat ass. And they are always so attractive.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

God. I want to hook up with a flight attendant. If you're a flight attendant and you're willing to bring your. Your uniform to my hotel, please DM me work.

[Monet X Change]

Please DM me role play. So y' all were sitting on the bed, and he's like, you want some peanuts, sir?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I'll say, can I move seats? And I'd be like, can you please not wake me up when I'm sleeping?

[Monet X Change]

And as we're there. And it was a really good time we had. We were going out, like, every night. It was a really fun time. But, yeah, like, that was a big group of people. But we. Everyone was kind of doing their own thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's talk about the year 2025. So we're kicking off our 2025 and our 2026 in very similar ways. That we're. We're both having our seasons of the Traders premiere in the early year.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How was. How was. How was your experience? I'm excited to have the experience that you had. Watching you on the Traders in 2026.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How was it for you watching it in 2025?

[Monet X Change]

I love to get all interviewing. It's like Gail King's ongoing question. I love. Tell me more about. How was that for you? Traitors was fun. I've said this in many interviews.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yo, watching me, bitch. Watching me.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, watching you do Traitors.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're talking about 2025, your experience.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, got it. That's what you're saying. It was great. You know, I love watching you on tv. You're very funny. Bob is obviously a very dynamic person. And you had some of my favorite sound bites one day, one that people don't talk about, which I don't understand why I thought it was hilarious when y' all were doing the thing where you had to take the big statues. Statues of the hill, and then you said to. What's the name of the black girl?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Robin.

[Monet X Change]

No, not Robin.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no, Danielle.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

It was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, Ciara.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Ciara. You like. I think you said something to her, girl. People are saying your name, and she was. And she was like, for real? You're like, yes, bitch. And you just walk on the thing. I thought that was hilarious.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They didn't air, but I was doing this thing where I was like. I was like. I got so tired because those things are really heavy. Like, really, like y'.

[Monet X Change]

All.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The. The challenges on trainers are actually quite physical.

[Advertiser]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They weren't made of stone, but they were really heavy. And I thought. I just sat down and I just looked straight into the camera. There was a cameraman focused on me, and I was like. I can't remember what I was saying, but I remember it was like, some really funny stuff about the Faithfuls, and I was trying to give them clues and give them hints and actually help them, but no one's listening to me. I don't know if that footage is ever going to be gonna surface, but it was really, really funny stuff.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. So it was great watching you on the show. And what really made me, like, what really got me in my head, I was like, I wish they would put us on the show together. I wish you and I were on the show together.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All Stars.

[Monet X Change]

All Stars.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Traitors.

[Monet X Change]

All Stars.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You never know.

[Monet X Change]

You never know. But, yeah, so it was great watching you. And now, you know, we're gonna have, you know, similar experiences.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm very excited to watch you on the Traitors. It's gonna be really thrilling. I love watching you on tv. I just. I watched every TV show you've done.

[Monet X Change]

No. Did you watch Survivor?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I. I didn't. I don't even know where to find that.

[Monet X Change]

It's on YouTube.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's on YouTube?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, but I've watched your slumber party. I've watched.

[Monet X Change]

You want some of the party? You were so grown. What's 2025, though, girl? Oh, my God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I've watched you the exchange rate. I've watched every, every season of Drag Race you're on. I even watched you on Lovecraft Country.

[Monet X Change]

Bring back Lovecraft.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I gotta tell y', all, I stopped after your episode. I didn't finish the series.

[Monet X Change]

I don't know the new deal they worked on after the strikes. Have you noticed that residuals have been way better?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I don't get my checks anymore. I now get them direct deposited and I don't really check the direct deposits, but I used to get them all. She don't gotta check the direct deposit. When I was getting like a dollar twenty. Yes, yes, yes.

[Monet X Change]

I don't gotta check. But you know, boss, some people need that. You don't even know what the fuck is going in. Is fierce work. Work. That's fucking rich. That's a luxury.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, first of all, my residuals are not that great because I, I, I'm not in. I, I've never been in a major motion picture. I. Rough night, Is it? But it's not, but it's not a block. I've never been, like a blockbuster. I've never been like one of these crazy. I think the biggest residual I get is probably from Lucifer. And I feel like I'm, I feel like I'm actually, I get pretty good checks from. I did two seasons, two episodes on two different seasons of Black Lady Sketch show.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I get great residuals from Survival. The thickest Lovecrack country is great. And again, I was in one episode. It was great residuals. And after midnight.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah, after midnight. Yeah. And I also get residuals from Survival Thickets too, because they use my song in episode four of season one.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, did it really?

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Work. Which one?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bitch like me. You ain't never met a bitch like me. You mean when Michelle B Tode is. Spoiler, spoiler.

[Monet X Change]

It's not a spoiler, girl. This show is two, three years old.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I've been getting drags from a spoiler. That's.

[Monet X Change]

That's crazy. Anyway, it's three year old show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But in I think episode four, when. When she like, breaks up with her boyfriend and she goes in and she goes in to like, tell him off or take his job or pitch him, and then he was like trying to use her or something like that where she was leaving. They use my song.

[Monet X Change]

No, no, that's episode one.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But it's like down the line. So it was. It was. It was an episode one anyway. But yeah, they use my song in there. It was.

[Monet X Change]

It was. It was pretty.

[Marketing/Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, Jacob February, Beyonce's Grammy redemption. She performed at the Grammys?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, she finally won album of the year.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, right, right. And girl, that.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

That.

[Monet X Change]

I feel like that again, talks about that did not get talked about enough either. Her reaction was so funny to me. Her, like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, she probably was actually gagged for sure.

[Monet X Change]

And I think again, there's this whole conspiracy. People like, she knew. She knew to get a picture. I'm like, why did. Why did I understand why there's so much distrust and celebrity and what everything out there? But I'm like, I think that was a genuine reaction. Why people were like, no, she just put it on girls. She knew. She and J, she and Jay Z called and told them to pick her. I'm like, then they would have done it several years ago.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I don't know if she knew it. It seemed genuine to me. I will say this, though, not her best album. I think she should have won for other albums. I would have given it to her for Beyonce or for Lemonade.

[Monet X Change]

Interesting. I generally think a Renaissance is still one of her best works. I love Renaissance.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It wasn't Renaissance.

[Monet X Change]

I know, I know. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Kendrick bowl. Well, you're a huge Kendrick Lamar fan. Did you go? You went up my number one artist of the year of this year.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yep. I'm so disappointed in myself. Why Girl, a CIS gender straight man has never made it into my Spotify raps ever. But I was obsessed with. I mean, I'm telling you right now, Kendrick Lamar is one of the best performers I've ever seen live. And it's not really. And it's not about, like, jumping up and down. His presence is just so good. He connects with the audience in such a way that is so, for lack of better word, cool. It's just really cool. He knows what he's doing. His connection to his music is so fucking fierce. Every time he left the stage, I kept just being like, please. Like, I can't wait for Kendrick to come back. Like, I cannot wait for any. The crowd is going.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

What was happening on stage when he

[Bob the Drag Queen]

was off just like, just like singing and stuff.

[Monet X Change]

Which is so crazy because I genuinely

[Bob the Drag Queen]

feel my brother was, it was, was, was rooting for Sza and I was rooting for Kendrick, which is hilarious.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, that's how I feel about Beyonce. I think she's a very magnetic performer and I know you gotta. Whatever because whatever. I, I genuinely feel that about Sza. I've seen Sza in concert four times now and every time I think her connection to her music and her song people also. She's breaking so many records. She just beat Michael Jackson again for the most something because she has most

[Bob the Drag Queen]

moonwalks, most cross grabs.

[Monet X Change]

She has 13 most Jerry curls. He has 13 not number ones. Oh, she has 13 things and he has 12. She just like, she's such a prolific artist and I feel like we're not going to realize how fucking fierce Sza was until it's too late. And that's the part that really gives

[Bob the Drag Queen]

rise to, you know, I go crazy for Ms. Mariah Carey, who has more, I think the most number ones.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Sorry, this is breaking news. So Mariah, this is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah, wait, wait. Sorry, sorry.

[Monet X Change]

Go ahead.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Lil Nas x Old Town Road beat out All I Want for Christmas is you for longest running history. Music in history. And she did this tweet, but she

[Bob the Drag Queen]

is sending love and crest. Lil Nas X breaking one of the longest running records in music history. We've been blessed to hold this record with a long. With a song song that means a great deal to Boys to men who I believe wrote her song. They were all over and myself has touched so many. I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

I don't actually know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They wrote maybe Boys and men had it for another song. Maybe it went from boys to men. Maybe it went from boys to men to Mariah Carey to Lil Nas X. But Mariah Carey is so. She's like, that's so fucking sweet for

[Monet X Change]

her to do that.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

She's. She's.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, hold on.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

So the news today is that she's actually. The song has come back and it has now re beaten that record. So she's number one again. And this is what she tweeted.

[Monet X Change]

The torch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The torch is back in her hand.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. So, so, so what were you saying, Bob? Finish that sentence.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love this woman. You better wear those capezios, bitch.

[Monet X Change]

I know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You better wear them gopizios, honey. Kim, Mariah said the N word.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, that's what I say. Ian, she's a black woman. I feel like, you know, people like light skinned black people who are white. Passing.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Whatever.

[Monet X Change]

Whatever you want to say. I really. It really bothers me when people. Police. Police people's race.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can Candace Owens say it?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, she's black. I wouldn't like it. I would feel weird. I would feel itchy, I would probably throw up. But she is well within her right as a black person to say it. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, God, don't bring this up. Well, she's acting really niggerish. The Coldplay incident this year. You remember the Coldplay thing?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, the Coldplay where they caught that CEO upon cheating on his wife.

[Monet X Change]

It was the woman from heading Human Resources. Who was it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, was she the CEO or was he the CEO?

[Monet X Change]

He was the CEO and she was someone in the company as well.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Girl, honestly, Coldplay is so real for that. I know they didn't do it on purpose, but that's just so funny because they were like leaning into it.

[Monet X Change]

I know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also the iconic moment in April where Katy Perry became an astronaut.

[Monet X Change]

Katy Perry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Gayle King became astronauts.

[Monet X Change]

And the Internet was mad. People were mad that Katy Perry and gay went into space. Who are the other ladies? There were other ladies too.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They were astronauts?

[Monet X Change]

No, there were other celebrities.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There were some celebrities, but they were like. How many people was it. But there were like three astronauts up there actually. Like, I mean, Katy Perry is an

[Monet X Change]

astronaut and so is Gayle King. But they had like three other celebrities as well. Oh, yeah, right. It was Gayle King. Lauren Sanchez. I don't know who Lauren Sanchez is. Ayesha Bowe. Amanda Nguyen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nguyen.

[Monet X Change]

No, it's Gien.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think you pronounce. Is she Vietnamese? You don't pronounce that. It's Nguyen.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, okay. Oh, she fancy now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I went to school.

[Monet X Change]

A lot of Vietnamese people and Carrie

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anne Flynn, some of them had to be astronauts.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, they couldn't send them all there without. There's no way. Yeah, but the Internet hated that. Katy Perry and these ladies went to space, girl. They hated it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, yeah. They were the only celebrities up there.

[Monet X Change]

No, Amanda is an activist.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Amanda. Oh, activist. Okay. Amanda Wayne is an activist and Carrie Anne Flynn, as a producer.

[Monet X Change]

Would you go to space if you got the chance to?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, a little bit. Before I was born, the Challenger exploded. And that kind of freaks me out. I think we passed that technology now. But apparently, also. Apparently going to space actually makes you sick.

[Monet X Change]

Like, but I don't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They didn't go. But I think that's like going into space.

[Monet X Change]

Right. They just broke the atmosphere or whatever.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. But apparently going into space makes you quite sick.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did you know that sometimes shooting stars aren't shooting stars. It's just shit coming from.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, it's shit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Literal shit.

[Monet X Change]

No, that's shit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, Monet, they take the. When you.

[Monet X Change]

You freeze it. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And they shoot it back into the Earth's atmosphere and it. And it burns up. Some of the shooting stars are literally just flying pieces of shit. Isn't that crazy? There's been a time where you looked up and you wished. You wished upon a pile of shit. Isn't that insane?

[Monet X Change]

That is crazy. That's one of my favorite Disney Channel original movies.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When you wish upon a pile of shit.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, this was one of my favorite moments from the year K Pop Demon Hunters. It was on my harmonize.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

One. I'll go low, you go high. One, two. We're going up.

[Monet X Change]

What key are we in?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The one I'm singing. One, two. We're going up, up, up. It's our moment. Okay, now I'll go up.

[Monet X Change]

We're going.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Count me in.

[Monet X Change]

One, two.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're going up, up, up. It's our moment. I'm just doing the octave up. Huh?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know how to harmonize. You still never got into Gayfall Diva Hunters, though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I watched it.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, you watched it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

You loved it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. I gotta say, y' all lived up to the hype. There have been a few moments. There were something like, for example, I'm gonna go see Jacob. You didn't want to come to Jacob's concert yesterday.

[Monet X Change]

Correct. At Boycottage.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

And Selena Cities.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And Selena City's. Anyway. But there was this one where they build up this song. This guy was like, building up this song. He was like, this song is great. Everyone goes crazy. And I was thinking to myself, he's doing too much. And they did a song and it was.

[Monet X Change]

What song was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's called Hanukkah and Santa Monica. And it was a banger.

[Monet X Change]

Like, why was it a banger?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was. It's just a fun song. It's a really fun song. I was like, oh, everyone's clapping. Offbeat. But they were clapping. I hate when the audience.

[Monet X Change]

Let me tell you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They were dancing. They were dancing.

[Monet X Change]

Let me tell you something. As someone. As a singer who did a show choir. And the audience will never. It will never, like, stop choirs, show choirs, stop asking audience to clap. It will always be off and it will never be. The audience started clapping.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They were dancing.

[Monet X Change]

The audience just started clapping. Spontaneous.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Just started clapping.

[Monet X Change]

Not simultaneously. What the word. I'm looking for spontaneously. Spontaneously.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it was kind of simultaneous. No, it was Bibbletop.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Audience was never, never clapping time. And especially if it's a predominantly white audience. Even if it's not, they will do it on the 1 and 3, not the 2 and 4. Every time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They weren't on the 1 and 3. They were just, it was just like there were so many claps that it was like never not clapping. Because I think what's going on is even though the space is not gigantic, it's a pretty big theater. Everyone's not actually hearing it at the same time.

[Monet X Change]

Right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And that split difference can actually be enough to make it like, like, you know, we're going up, up, up. It's our moment.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. You know. Yeah, yeah. Now you invoked this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think, I think Golden's gonna win the Oscar this year.

[Monet X Change]

First song. Okay, sorry, Golden. What else is up there?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wicked.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Sinners.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sinners. It's going to be either Sinners or Golden. I, I don't think that, I don't think that Wicked will win. It's the original song. You can't win an Oscar for it. And I, I, I don't think that the original songs from Wicked. What? No Place Like Home and Girl in the Bubble are. Don't. They don't hold a candle to a single song. In, In, In.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And K Pop, I would say Golden. I'll take over.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I mean, this song was a massive cultural moment.

[Monet X Change]

I can't wait for this for the first for K Pop. Demon Hunters too. I'm so excited about it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They'.

[Monet X Change]

No, they are, they said they're working on it, but they haven't announced the name or anything like that.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

Yeah, it's coming out in like 2029 or something.

[Monet X Change]

Which, by the way, can I tell you, 20, 20, 2026. I am so fucking excited for the video games coming out. We have some really great video games coming out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're getting GTA 6 finally.

[Monet X Change]

I don't, I don't know, I don't play that.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

But we are. Yes.

[Monet X Change]

Yes. Really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is it real? They've been saying it for every year.

[Monet X Change]

Every year, though, right? There's so many good video games coming up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You remember when they kept teasing Breath of the Wild?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know.

[Guest/Additional Speaker]

November 19th is the current date, so end of 2026, but yes.

[Monet X Change]

Damn, that's so damn far. Also 2026, they're bringing back a lot. It's going to be a big year for Marvel. Marvel is like. Okay, we're sorry. We got Rid of Jonathan Majors and we try to right the wrongs of our past. 2026 is a lot of great action. You like action movies?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

What was the hype push for?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, I like them. I gotta say. I watched one of the Avengers and it kind of turned me off on.

[Monet X Change]

Which one?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The one where Spider man grabs a Captain America shield where he flies in.

[Monet X Change]

That's the war, I think.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And. And the Ant man was on the Civil War. And I just thought to myself, like, I don't think I like these movies like I used to. They're something that. They've kind of lost their soul or. They're just. It just looks like this big, massive money machine, and they're just like, how many. How many celebrities can we cram into it, story be damned? And there's something about, like, the first X Men and the Batman with Heath Ledger. And those movies were just so. They were just so good. And I feel like now it's just like. It's like a copy. It's like a Mad Libs almost. It's like you just. You just fill in the skeleton and make it what it is. And I just find them less impressive, to be honest.

[Monet X Change]

I gotta say. I don't know if I have the hot take or you have the hot take when it comes to these Avengers movies and Marvel movies or dc, as if the story is a five. I'm good. I'm going for it. To see powers and see all the people I used to watch in cartoons do their powers on tv.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love that.

[Monet X Change]

But that's all I really care about.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I love that, but we used to watch those movies and they had so many powers in them. But can the movie still be good? Like when this big scene and, and, and, and, And Wanda comes in and,

[Monet X Change]
