Bob the Drag Queen
The little rib down.
Monet X Change
I think I can actually go higher than you think I can.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, but singing with your. Like your chest.
Monet X Change
It's gotta be with chest. Audrey McDonald doesn't sing with her chest.
Bob the Drag Queen
But she's a soprano. You're not a soprano.
Monet X Change
Her notes don't matter.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're not a soprano. You're a bass. Right, Tom?
Monet X Change
I'm a baritone, mainly.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
If I were in Once on this Island, I would be playing Ahsoka.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, Ahsoka.
Monet X Change
Her name is Asaka.
Bob the Drag Queen
Asaka.
Monet X Change
I'd be playing Agwe, God of water.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you know what I really want to dive deeper into and research more. I love these African gods, like Yoruba.
Monet X Change
And do you know about Anansi?
Bob the Drag Queen
Anansi Spider.
Monet X Change
Anansi. He is a spider, right, Nancy? He is so bright. So bright. Nancy. He is a spider and I can't remember, but he's a trickster God and of African origin. Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know the proper names, but SZA evokes them a lot. Beyonce evokes them a lot. Erykah Badu evokes these God as God.
Monet X Change
But they mention them in their work.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, they mention in their work or they say that they're giving honor to them or stuff like that, but I don't really know much about it.
Monet X Change
I would name my kid a Nancy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Anansi.
Monet X Change
Anansi. It's a great name.
Bob the Drag Queen
There was a. There's a St. Lucian child nursery rhyme or something about Anansi Spiderweb. Although it does, like a TV show about, like, Anansi Spiderweb.
Monet X Change
Yeah, he's kind of like. He's a puck kinda.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's like a. Look like a Loki, kind of.
Monet X Change
Yeah, he's. Yeah, yeah. He loves to play tricks on people, but he's not bad. But he's not great.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's a Brad. Locally. You came over yesterday and you played Marvel Rivals. You were very good at it.
Monet X Change
I didn't like it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really?
Monet X Change
I didn't like it.
Bob the Drag Queen
You were good, though.
Monet X Change
I know, but it wasn't fun. I was like, I hate this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really?
Monet X Change
Yeah. I was Scarlet Witch, and I was just pointing and blasting.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you're like because she has auto aim. So, like, when you hold it, it just automatically gets whoever is closest to her.
Monet X Change
So I wasn't even doing anything.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, you were doing something. You were killing people.
Monet X Change
I had. I think I only died one time. I had, like, a great track record, too.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow. People like Monet should start playing League of League of Legends.
Monet X Change
I got the whole crew into it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Now.
Monet X Change
You're the last. You're the last holdout.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I don't like computer games. And there's so many computer games I want to play, but I just. I'm not interested in doing this.
Monet X Change
Okay? You're not typing.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what it feels like.
Monet X Change
You're not like typing. You're doing this. Actually, you're doing this. This is what you're doing in a computer game.
Bob the Drag Queen
Usually I feel like when I play computer games, I'm playing. You know why I'm so triggered from having to do Mavis Beacon in elementary. Whatever grade that was.
Monet X Change
Do you know about wasd?
Bob the Drag Queen
What are symbols doing? No, what?
Monet X Change
WASD is like moving on the game. But you use WASD as up, left, down, and right. Wasd W is up, A is left, S is down, and D is right.
Bob the Drag Queen
Got it. But why not use the directional, like the actual arrows?
Monet X Change
Not every keyboard has that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not every keyboard has arrows.
Monet X Change
Nope.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that's standard.
Monet X Change
Not every keyboard has arrows.
Bob the Drag Queen
Huh?
Monet X Change
Jake, does your lockup have arrows? I guess that one does, yeah. They don't know, but not every keyboard has arrows.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think I've ever encountered one in a.
Monet X Change
Does my keyboard in there have arrows? Taylor, can you check it real quick? Does my keyboard in there have arrows?
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you check it real quick? I think it does.
Monet X Change
You can bring it in here. It might.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think all keyboards. Not all, but everything. Every keyboard I've come in contact with has an arrow on it.
Monet X Change
Are the arrows on it? Oh, yeah. Four arrows. Yeah, there they are.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yep. Four of them. Arrows.
Monet X Change
I don't want to press because then
Bob the Drag Queen
my computer's still on. I don't want to accidentally. You don't activate your porn.
Monet X Change
I don't watch porn on my office computer. I don't think any. Who is still watching porn on a computer? Who. Who is looking at porn on a computer?
Bob the Drag Queen
You just do it on your. On your. On your phone.
Monet X Change
It's. Yes. First of all, if you're looking at porn on a computer. Jesus Christ. It's like, this is too. This is too much. This is massive.
Bob the Drag Queen
I watch porn on computers sometimes.
Monet X Change
I can't believe we used to look at porn on tv. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, like when you saw, like, a DVD or something? I mean, we didn't have a choice. It wasn't. It wasn't on the computer.
Monet X Change
Grease is good on VHS.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I never. I mean, that's what White Boy Stomp was on. I hate what. I hate that it's called a white voice. Don't.
Monet X Change
But the thing about. I used to find my uncle's porn or my mom's porn, and then what I have to do is I would. If it's already in the vcr, you have to write down the timestamp so you can refer to back and rewind it back. If it's not, you just go back to zero. That's bringing up memory.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. What? Rewind back kills me.
Monet X Change
Oh, girl. Imagine trying to rewind porn while panicking and someone's coming.
Bob the Drag Queen
The phrase rewind back. Rewinding is going backwards. You can't say, I'm rewinding forward.
Monet X Change
I say, rewind it back. Or maybe rewind back.
Bob the Drag Queen
You said, no, you say, but you
Monet X Change
know what I meant.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know, but that when I hear people say it kills me.
Monet X Change
Rewind back. Yes. How often do people say rewind back?
Bob the Drag Queen
I literally did a TikTok video about it the other day. And, like, drunk people saying it. I rewind back. Or the other one they say is. What's the other one? People say something like, replay back. There's another one that drives me crazy. I'm like, it's the same thing.
Monet X Change
There's a few things driving me crazy, but I've had to just let it go over time.
Bob the Drag Queen
ATM machine is another one that drives you crazy. No, that doesn't drive me crazy. But that's one people.
Monet X Change
Well, it is automatic towing machine.
Bob the Drag Queen
Machine. I'm gonna rewind back and say, I'm going back. Back.
Monet X Change
I used to not. I used to drive. I will say this. I. When I was younger and despite. I know I do think about the way you pronounce on this podcast. But outside of this podcast, I typically do not correct people's language. Like, I do not correct people's grammar outside of this podcast.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't want to do it too? Why?
Monet X Change
I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's funny. Why do I get to get. I don't know what's funny, but I
Monet X Change
remember just being in third grade and this guy, I had just moved to Lagrange, Georgia, and I might have been in fifth. Sixth grade. Sixth grade in lagrange, Georgia. And this guy, this group of guys tried to, like, Gang up on me in the bathroom.
Bob the Drag Queen
Ooh. Like a fun gang up.
Monet X Change
It didn't feel fun at the time. I had these pants that were sweatpants on one side and windbreakers on the other side.
Bob the Drag Queen
Girl, wait, like, inside out or like, oh, okay. Oh, that's different.
Monet X Change
So I was.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought you meant the front was windbreaking, the back was inside out. Crazy.
Monet X Change
So I was like, this would be so cool. So I went to the bathroom. I would. I kept kind of.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is very bad behavior to show off his pants. I know. You had to go to the bathroom.
Monet X Change
I don't know if anyone would notice. So every time.
Bob the Drag Queen
So wild. This is so eer.
Monet X Change
You go to the bathroom. Then I would turn my pants the other way and be like, that's so e. How does no one notice that I keep changing? I'm wearing different pants. This is crazy. So one of the times I went to go change my pants around,
Bob the Drag Queen
these
Monet X Change
guys were in there and they were like, we're going to cause some drama. And then they're trying to intimidate me. And I was like, I'm not into the. I'm not going to let you intimidate me. And then I just. And then someone said, who is you? And I said, who are you? And they said, I'm so. And so I said, no, who is you? Is who are you? Cuz I was like, you going to try to clown. I'm trying to clown you. And then the guy who was trying to bully me at that moment, who, like, they were. They were literally surrounding me, three of them. And then he looked so hurt.
Bob the Drag Queen
To fight you?
Monet X Change
Yes, to fight me in the bath. That's why you fight in the bathroom.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because of.
Monet X Change
She can't come in there.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, because you were doing the pants.
Monet X Change
Probably because I was gay. Like, it was probably just that there's a guy named Carlos who.
Bob the Drag Queen
Carlito.
Monet X Change
Carlos was like the bully. Like a bully from a textbook. Like that kind of bully.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like. Like, I'm gonna give a squirrelly no, he's black.
Monet X Change
So it was. It was. It was.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was like, yeah, I'm gonna give you a swirly, nigga.
Monet X Change
Basically.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
But Carlos had also. I mean, I'm assuming Carlos had been held back several times because Carlos looked like a college student. I remember thinking myself, he's too big to be in. To be in. In sixth grade with us. I remember thinking myself, no way this guy's a sixth grader.
Bob the Drag Queen
No way.
Monet X Change
No way. And I was big. This coming from me. I was six, two in seventh grade.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy.
Monet X Change
So, you know, this guy was like. He had a beard. It was too much. So I said, who is. Who are you? And then he. I remember him being like, he. He looked a bit hurt. And he goes, that's why no one likes you, because you're all. That's why no one likes you. That's why. And then I walked past and I
Bob the Drag Queen
went back to the class. You struck a nerve with that one.
Monet X Change
I really did.
Bob the Drag Queen
Our mystical bully was that I was in love with him was Louis Cruz.
Monet X Change
Why?
Bob the Drag Queen
Louis was so mean to me, but I thought Lewis was so hot.
Monet X Change
What was hot about him?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think his demeanor. Like, he was cool, and he was the bully. He, like, walked around. He always, like a freshman, fresh pair of Jordans and all. Like, Lewis was. Like. Lewis was popping.
Monet X Change
There was a kid named. When I got to Atlanta, my bully's name was George. Like, I say his last name.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why?
Monet X Change
Because it seems. It just. I'm not trying to dox George, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know how many Georgia's there? I said, how many Louis cruises they are?
Monet X Change
Anyway, George. George was like. I remember one time, like, George was. He was a pretty strong guy. He could fight really well. And then one time George, like, came to my house because we were kind of friends. Like, we had a similar friend group. And then. And we had also kind of taken George in because George had kind of, like, a hard time. Then he stole.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, your family took him in?
Monet X Change
No, like, we. Not in. But, like, we. He, like, we. My mother was, like, nice to him and, like. But then she got mad at him because he stole a magazine from the house one time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Which one?
Monet X Change
It was just like a. I don't even remember. Maybe like a. I have no clue.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why did he steal a magazine? That seems such a.
Monet X Change
Because he asked for it. My mom said, no, I haven't read the magazine yet. And he said, okay. And then he put it down on the couch. And then before he left, he checked his backpack for something, and he put it on top of the magazine. And then he just picked both up and left the house with it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really similar situation happened to me the other day. A friend came over.
Monet X Change
I learned it from George.
Bob the Drag Queen
A friend came over, and I had this pillow on a chair in my drag room. And then I told him. I was like, hey, I have a gift for your dog. Let's come get him in my drag room. And I gave them the dog bed. And he's like, oh, my God, that's so nice of you. And then he put the dog bed on a Pillow that he wanted. And then when he picked it up, he picked up the pillow and the dog bed. And he thought I didn't notice when we got in the house. I said, oh, dude, I don't think
Monet X Change
you didn't notice when the friend took it.
Bob the Drag Queen
That I noticed when he walked out of the drag room. Cause when I look back to put the light on, I said, you mean you.
Monet X Change
I thought you said a friend. You may as well just some random friend. Does that mean twice? You fell for it twice?
Bob the Drag Queen
And it's as he walked. As he walked out of the drag room, and I saw that Philo was moving, missing. I was like, this nigga. And then. Because also, Bob was holding the pillow like this, walking around the whole time.
Monet X Change
The dog bed.
Bob the Drag Queen
The dog bed. Sorry. Covering the pillows. And then I'm laughing as I go to the house. I was like, bob, I know what you have in your hand.
Monet X Change
Well, to be fair, that's how I got the pillow the first time. I just threw a sheet over it. I came into your drag lab with the sheet. I put the sheet on top of the pillow.
Bob the Drag Queen
There was a dress.
Monet X Change
A dress. I put the dress on top of the pillow, and then I just picked the dress up and I picked up. George taught me that. I literally learned that from George. Anyway, George came to my house. He had a gun, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
Like, George was on some. This was when we had gone from LaGrange to Atlanta. I remember being like, we're in Atlanta now.
Bob the Drag Queen
And the gun was to.
Monet X Change
He. He was showing us that he had the gun. He was just like. He wanted all of us to know that he had a gun. And we knew. He made it abundantly clear he was here. He was here to make it clear.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy.
Monet X Change
That's why I'm not saying George's last name.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, George might show up here.
Monet X Change
George might. George might be on.
Bob the Drag Queen
On that new.
Monet X Change
New shit.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, wow.
Monet X Change
A gun. Girl, that.
Bob the Drag Queen
And how old are y' all at this time?
Monet X Change
We were probably in maybe 9th or 10th grade.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow.
Monet X Change
And I, I, I was not that kind of kid. Yeah, I might. I might. I might fist fight you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
I'm not going to get into a shootout with you. I remember one time seeing a woman almost get shot, and it traumatized me.
Bob the Drag Queen
You almost saw someone get shot?
Monet X Change
Yeah, in that same apartment in the. In Cobblestone Flats in Clayton County. The guy across the way dragged his wife out of the house. And we were watching it from the window. Me, my mom, and my brother were all watching from the window. And then he hit her on the head with the gun. And then she was on the ground so heavy. Her hair was all splayed out. I remember her hair was all, like, splayed out.
Bob the Drag Queen
How far away are you watching this?
Monet X Change
Like, maybe from here to the middle of the drag lab.
Bob the Drag Queen
So let's say that's probably maybe like 25, 50ft.
Monet X Change
But one. One floor up.
Bob the Drag Queen
50ft. Okay.
Monet X Change
And then he points the gun at her. And I remember. And we were in. My mom was. My mom started freaking out. And he was like. And, like, I think he jammed the gun, maybe. And he was like,
Bob the Drag Queen
is it ever that serious? He was going execution style right in.
Monet X Change
Right in the mid. Like, in the middle. Not in the courtyard, but, like, between the. Between the apartment buildings.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy. And y' all just watching. What if you looked up?
Monet X Change
We called the cops.
Bob the Drag Queen
What if you looked up? I would have looked up at y' all next. We were.
Monet X Change
We weren't. We weren't like. We didn't have the windows open, our heads out the window.
Bob the Drag Queen
We were like, oh, God.
Monet X Change
You think we were just. We think we out there like. Like. Like Miss. Miss Pearl and 227.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you said me, my mom, and Justin watching all day.
Monet X Change
What's her name?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Monet X Change
The old lady from 227. But anyway, it wasn't like that. We. We were like. We were like. We were, like, watching. Oh, it is Miss Pearl. You thought we were like, Miss Pearl two, two, seven. Nah, girl. We were like, that's crazy. We had called the cops to be like, there's a guy trying to kill his wife out here.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy. Yeah. Guns are such a scary thing, to be honest. Like, it just. But do you know what's scary? I've always said this. Knives are scarier because if you go and stab someone with a knife, that's like. To me, like, with a gun, you can point it and shoot it and be like, okay, I pulled the trigger. Like, I did the thing. That's scary. But with a knife, you're taking someone and you are, like, has to feel it going into their flesh. Like, do you hear those people who, like, stab someone 40 times? I'm like, that means you felt that sensation of, like, 40 times. That's.
Monet X Change
That's. Is.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is crazier to me. Ugh. And the blood. That's happening, girl. So Bob is. If you were listening, Bob is stabbing his leg. Well, not literally, but hitting his leg 40 times.
Monet X Change
That. That is a lot of stabbing, you know, like, what that is a lot of stabbing. Let's talk about it. Let's talk. Let's actually. Let's not talk about this after the break. Let's move on to something completely different. And if you do not want to ever experience a break, I mean, an ad break, once again, please consider joining our patreon. Go to patreon.com type in sibling rivalry podcast. We will be back with a much less disgusting topic.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes,
Monet X Change
And we're black.
Bob the Drag Queen
And today we're talking about reading. Bomb.
Monet X Change
Reading is the true art form. No shade. What is it? Shade.
Bob the Drag Queen
From reading and reading.
Monet X Change
Reading is the true art form. Yeah. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is Dorian Corey during the.
Monet X Change
I know I said it before. So I'm gonna write the Dorian Corey story.
Bob the Drag Queen
Dorian. The Corey.
Monet X Change
The Dorian Corey story.
Bob the Drag Queen
The Dorian Corey King story.
Monet X Change
Corey King.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, remember Drag Race did before and after Dorian Corey King. That would have been good.
Monet X Change
What would you wear?
Bob the Drag Queen
A little dress with a cup of ice and mummified.
Monet X Change
My favorite quote from Duran, Corey has to be, but I don't have to take a. Shoot an arrow and it goes real high.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hooray for you.
Monet X Change
That is such a great line. If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high, Hooray for you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Mine is. But I don't have to tell you ugly, because you know, you're ugly.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Reading. Okay. I think that I discovered.
Monet X Change
I mean.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. I think you and I both know you more than me, though. You came from a family that you don't read each other. But y' all used to, like, joke like that a lot.
Monet X Change
We wouldn't. We would neg. We'd neg each other a lot.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know what that word means.
Monet X Change
Negging. Negging is like picking and making fun of.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, negging. Like we did to some extent. But it sounded like y' all were, like, all into it. Like.
Monet X Change
No, just. Well, okay. So growing up, my brother would call me Christina.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why?
Monet X Change
Because it's a girl's name.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
And my name is Chris.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh. If you like. If you like Christina Aguilera.
Monet X Change
Christina. There was no Christian. We didn't know about Christianity when I was, like, a kid. Like, when I was, like, five.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
So he'd be like, hey, hey, Christine. Like, Christina. That was a very big thing, calling me Christine. So I just called him Justina as a response. I was like, well, if I'm Christina, you're Justina.
Bob the Drag Queen
But he.
Monet X Change
I would always call him Justine as a response to being called Christina. So it was never just me randomly calling him Justina. It was always, well, Then you're Justina. But he called me Christina for a lot of my childhood. He would also try to scare me a lot. He would always jump off from behind things and try to scare me. And my mother. My mother wasn't really, like, into, like, reading and stuff. But she would pick at you, though. Like, she would. My mother was. She would pick at you for sure. Especially later in life. My mother would definitely pick at you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, my. My immediate family, not so much, but my. My big, like, team Lucia family. We all get together. That is part of the culture. Everyone is, like. Everyone is always, like, joking, and there's always jokes flying around all the time. That's a big part of, like, West Indian, like, gatherings.
Monet X Change
Like, what kind of jokes?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, I don't know, like, how dark did they get?
Monet X Change
How deep do they cut? Not.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not that deep. It would be great.
Monet X Change
Is that example of one you heard
Bob the Drag Queen
it would be servicing, like, uh, yes. My family, Jacob. My family makes fun of Andy. They absolutely make fun of Andy's wife. Andy's the only.
Monet X Change
I think when Jacob ties to it, he wants us to ask. Answer the question without asking it. Otherwise he just asks it with his mouth.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, true. Well, yeah, my family does make fun of Andy. Andy is the only white person in our family.
Monet X Change
But tell me more about the kind of. Like, what kind of. Can you give me an example of a kind of read they would make?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, he'll be like, oh, look at. Look at. Look at. Kev came down with his. With my shoes, maybe, like, my. Like, one of my flip flops was busted. They'll make fun of my busted flip flop or me going back for my fourth round of curry goat. Like, little things like that.
Monet X Change
So what about a bad haircut?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah, they'll make fun of that.
Monet X Change
A bad outfit.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but it would make fun of. Oh, that's why your mama been gone for the. It's not that it's, like, very.
Monet X Change
How about, like, if you're fat but
Bob the Drag Queen
not in an incendiary fad, not like, look at you, you fat slob, and be like, your belly really getting big there. But stuff like that, you know?
Monet X Change

I have a few cousins with down syndrome. I don't know how we got here. Actually, I Didn't know I asked the question. My dad and his sisters are mean to each other.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, mean. Like, cut deep. Like, mean.
Monet X Change
Maybe not mean mean, but when it comes to each other's physical appearance, like, my dad has a gut. He's a pretty big gut, but he's not fat. He just has a big gut.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
And then my aunt, I think he just mentioned to my aunt that she had gained weight. And she's like, rick, I know you're talking with your fat ass. And she was like, chris, look at your fat ass, Daddy. I saw that picture your dad looking fat as hell. Yo, like, yo, like. Then they just kept going about how each other were fat. And they're like, your fat ass. Shut your fat ass. I know you ain't talking with your fat big belly ass with that big belly hanging over your pants, that big old belly hanging down to your mid. To the middle of your thighs. Fat ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
But is your dad engaged in laughing? He's like, man, that's too mean.
Monet X Change
Like, no, they're laughing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. Everyone's engaging in laughing.
Monet X Change
It's not just like, oh, you had that curry goat. Oh, that's not like, ooh, the belly's growing. It's like, with that big ass belly hanging down to your thighs. But they do it to each other. They don't do it to us.
Bob the Drag Queen

Yeah. My, My, my. And it's really just my father, my Aunt Faye, and it's really my. My Aunt Chris and my Aunt Tracy. That. That go back and forth. My aunt. I can't imagine them saying that to my Aunt Faye. She's the oldest.
Bob the Drag Queen
Got it.
Monet X Change
I don't think Faye would be interested in that kind of humor.
Bob the Drag Queen
And Aunt Hazel and them do not do that at all.
Monet X Change
No, no, no.
Bob the Drag Queen
Aunt Hazel's.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. Aunt Hazel. Making fun of someone being fat is. She would never work. Aunt Hazel used to be fat.

Monet X Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Does she?
Narrator/Advertiser
Yes.
Monet X Change
She curses? Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, she doesn't seem like a cursor,
Monet X Change
but I would see Aunt Hazel. She would not be like, witch. Oh, fat ass. But if someone upset her, she might. She might call them a fat to other people.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's so interesting, because my experience of yon Hazel. Does she.
Monet X Change

I don't know.
Monet X Change
But she.
Narrator/Advertiser
She.
Monet X Change
She would have choice words for someone. I don't think she said no. Actually, I'm trying to think hard about this. I don't think Aunt Hazel would say anything about anyone's appearance. No, but she. No, she would not say anything about anyone's appearance.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you ask me. Just off of the one that. That weekend I spent with Aunt Hazel, in my mind, she has never cursed. She has never. She has. Like. She is a patron saint.
Monet X Change
She curses. But I do remember when they were going about the Rapture, I knew there was no rapture. Cause my Aunt Hazel was still here. If there is a rapture, if I'm ever wondering if a rapture's happening, I'm gonna call on my Aunt Hazel. And if she's answered the phone, the rapture wasn't real. I know. For that's if there is really. If there is, the Bible's real. I'm calling on Hazel. And if she answers her phone, the rapture did not happen.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I have a question with that. Your family, obviously you have an uncle that's a pastor, blah, blah, blah, blah. What do they think? Like, did they. Have you spoken to them after the rapture? Do they think that the rapture happened?
Monet X Change
They're not on the Internet. They don't. They don't even know. They don't even know that the Internet was saying there was a rapture. Probably.

What's the most legendary read that you heard on. During your time on Drag Race?
Monet X Change
On Drag Race, from my season.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I guess you only have one experience.
Monet X Change
I mean, it was probably Chi Chi Devane saying, you might be from New York City, but those feet are still from Mississippi. That's a pretty good one.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is good. Was All Stars 4. When Manila goes to Valentina, she goes, valentina. Did you sew those ties like Selena?
Monet X Change
The best one I ever saw on the show ever. And I cannot believe you did not say this, because you were there for this one.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
I think this is the best read from Drag Race ever.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
When Jinx Monsoon said, trinity just broke up with her ex, but she wanted to be nice, so she said, let's just be cousins. That was. That floored me. That actually took me down.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what?
Monet X Change
Let's just be cousins.
Bob the Drag Queen
My favorite one is from season two, when jujubee goes untara. Is your barbecue canceled because your grill is fucked? That's about my favorite.
Monet X Change
Have you ever had a read that you were like, I'm not in on this, and I don't like it and it feels bad.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, on me.
Monet X Change
Yeah, maybe, but I can't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, I genuinely like being made fun of, so I don't really. I'm sure there has been.
Monet X Change
I can't think.
Bob the Drag Queen
One does not come.
Monet X Change
I don't mind being made fun of, but I gotta tell you, one time I was. I got red and I was. Remember being. I just remember being like, I'm sorry. You were there. I remember being like, when. I'm sorry. I'm about to tell the story. You don't have to. I'm about to tell the whole story. Yeah, I remember being like, I'm sorry. What? So we were at The Queerties. And Mo Hart was hosting.

Monet X Change
I remember thinking, I don't feel like I know you like this.
Bob the Drag Queen
I remember this.
Monet X Change
And like, it feels like because I have a belly and I don't mind being red for my belly. But that just felt so out of pocket when the read is like, valentina, hope you wear it. Oh, she's not wearing a mask tonight. She knows the words tonight. Oh, Mo. Corey King, is your wig going to stay on all night? Alaska? Watch out. She'll probably give you $10,000 via PayPal. And Bob, with his big ass belly
Bob the Drag Queen
eating for two over there.
Monet X Change
Big fucking gut, Big fat ass belly hanging down to his motherfucking thighs. Big belly, fucking pot belly. I was. And I remember thinking to myself, like, this is so. This is crazy. And I remember even the room was like, oh. Cause, like, the room wasn't like, what? They were like, oh,
Bob the Drag Queen
you heard it.
Monet X Change
What did you think we should. What you think? You probably didn't think nothing about it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't think nothing about it until afterwards I spoke to you. You were like.
Monet X Change
That was really.
Bob the Drag Queen
You were a gag. I remember you being really gagged. You were like.
Monet X Change

Why do you think the reading challenge is such a popular challenge as drag race? Is it because of the lore of how reading is so fundamental in the queer community? Or do you think drag race made reading?
Monet X Change
Well, roasts are always fun. Fun, right? Roasts are fun. You get. And there's something fun about seeing people telling jokes in good. Like everyone's laughing along now.

So I think people understand when you go to a roast, you know what the social contract? The social contract is if you're on the stage or if you're in the audience, you are in. You are paying, and you're. I mean, you're. You're entering the contract that. I'm into this. Everyone here is cool with this.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I think for a while, because we were, like. We were being really respective as societally, we were more aware of different, abled people and bodies and minds and things. So I think even though the social contract of a roast felt like everyone was okay with that, it still felt a little weird to be participating in it. I think that's why people were like, that's why. That's why. I think they used to get a lot of blowback from fans. Even though everyone on the stage had agreed to be in it, they were like, this was too much. I did not think it was gonna be that. I think that people were expecting to be more like a reading challenge, where it's like. Cause, I mean, the road, the jokes that arose, the roast that I want on Drag Race. I mean, Drag Race on Marie and Peter for the month. I was on there until, like,
Monet X Change
they were vicious.
Bob the Drag Queen
They were vicious jokes.
Monet X Change
Oh, there were jokes on that show that were vicious. I mean, like, oh, my God, I cannot believe you said that. Jokes on the show. 100%, but that's what it was about. That was the point.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I would. I mean, I would definitely do another roast show. It's so fun.
Monet X Change
Who would do it for our 40th birthday?
Bob the Drag Queen
We talked about this on the podcast. Doing girls for our 40th birthday. When is your.
Monet X Change
Our 40th birthday? When we both are six years apart.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. When we both turn 40.
Monet X Change
Six years. Four years apart.
Bob the Drag Queen
Four years apart. You never know.
Monet X Change
I do know.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is your middle five.
Monet X Change
I just said, not six. Four.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's meet at five.
Monet X Change
I know you were born in 1990, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know you're born in 1986, you old bitch.
Monet X Change
Not much older. Yeah, Older than my oldest. It's a housewife quote. Oh, not much. We can. You were older than my oldest brother.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just met Bronwyn from Housewives of Salt Lake City. She is. It's the new season of Housewives. Everyone is like, you have to watch.
Monet X Change
They're all Mormons.
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet X Change
Any of the Mormons.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. I don't watch it. Oh, there's one housewife who.
Monet X Change
So her grandmother is really rich or married a really rich man in. Her grandmother is William. She requested that her granddaughter marry her new husband. So one of the housewives.
Bob the Drag Queen
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back it up. The woman married her grandfather's spouse.
Monet X Change
Her step grandfather.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, her step grandfather. She married him when her grandmother died.
Monet X Change
So why.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because her grandmother requested it.
Monet X Change
They fucked.
Bob the Drag Queen
What do you mean? You think they're playing combio?
Monet X Change
Maybe it was like a lavender marriage, but not really.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. They.
Monet X Change
I would have done a lavender marriage back in the day.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's when you married a straight person.
Monet X Change
No, that's when usually a lesbian marries a gay guy. Huh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just cause. So you guys are just married platonically.
Monet X Change
I would have done a lavender marriage for sure. Would you have done one?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. The sixties? I don't know. I don't know.
Monet X Change
Do you know I would have done 11 in marriage. One hundo p. Yeah. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Would you? No sex ever.
Monet X Change
I would have sex with.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right. I'm not pansexual, though, so that's why I don't think it'll work for me.
Monet X Change
But also, we don't have to have sex. I, like, I didn't have to be in a sexual way, but I would have done 11amarriage just. Just for the social construct to, like, protect ourselves and so that we can have social lives and have benefits and stuff. I would do it for that. But we don't have. If we're not attracted to each other. No, we don't have sex now.
Bob the Drag Queen
I guess I would have. Maybe I have to see the person.
Monet X Change
Would you marry?
Bob the Drag Queen
I do have lesbians. I love lesbians.
Monet X Change
Would you marry someone to get something? Get their green card? Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Depending on who it is. Yeah.
Monet X Change
You know, they pay.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's not even about the money. If it's a friend and I want them to.
Monet X Change
You would do it for free?
Bob the Drag Queen
If it's a friend of mine. Why not? Why not? Cause marriage is expensive. Is it?
Monet X Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
How expensive is marriage? No, I mean, if you're doing a wholesale. Like if you're just going down to the courthouse, you'd probably pay a few hundred dollars.
Monet X Change
But do you want it to look real?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, but not everyone goes. Not everyone has the budget or the money to do a big old wedding.
Monet X Change
You can do a small ol wedding,
Bob the Drag Queen
but not everyone has the budget or the money to do a small wedding. Bitch. Weddings are expensive. Once you word wedding on something and you know venues immediately they're charging more money.
Monet X Change
I'll do a backyard wedding.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. God, don't. I can't.
Monet X Change
I'm gonna get married in your backyard.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would do that.
Monet X Change
Cover the pool.
Bob the Drag Queen
We would sell a little pool.
Monet X Change
What would you put? This would be huge. What giant piece of wood would put
Bob the Drag Queen
people cover pools for gathering their gatherings all the time?
Monet X Change
Maybe there's companies that do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm sure.
Monet X Change
Where could you keep that besides on top of the pool?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, probably it's when the rolls, man. Because you know those planks, that kind of roll. There's probably some get married on the pool.
Monet X Change
You should get married in your backyard.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you save a lot of money, girl. We're already looking at small case scenario. This is like the least amount of people. We could invite 200 people.
Monet X Change
Oh, hey.
Bob the Drag Queen
So that's what I might. We might just.
Monet X Change
Why do you need to invite 200 people?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because just family alone that has to be invited. And friends. That's what you have that big of a family? I have at least minimal in my family. Minimally people in my family. 35 to 40. I have to come.
Monet X Change
And they all get a plus one. But some of them are the plus ones.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right.
Monet X Change
There's married people.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. All together, 35.
Monet X Change
So how are we gonna now? Let's say.
Bob the Drag Queen
And now friends. Close friends.
Monet X Change
But he doesn't have. Andy has no siblings.
Bob the Drag Queen
But Andy has extended family. That has to come.
Monet X Change
He has few uncles and aunts.
Bob the Drag Queen
He has three.
Monet X Change
That's not many. Bitch. I have 14.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy.
Monet X Change
I have 14 uncles and aunts. Three is literally nothing. Literally. Girl, if I. If I was doing just my family. Solamente. Family. Okay? I have seven living uncles and aunts. On my mom's side, the seven. No, I have four. Five, including my dad. On my dad's side, I have 12. I have. My grandmother has one sister alive.
Bob the Drag Queen
13.
Monet X Change
And then all of their children. So now we're looking at somewhere in the
Narrator/Advertiser
60.
Monet X Change
And then some of. Then their children have children.
Bob the Drag Queen
So how do you decide who you're cutting? Are you inviting all these people?
Monet X Change
No, no, no, no, no.
Bob the Drag Queen
God, no. So who's coming?
Monet X Change
Mount Hazel, Mount Lisa, Amanda, Angela, Justin, Uncle Scotty, Uncle Ray can come. Scooter can come. I don't think he will, but he's invited. All of my father's sisters can come. My father can come.
Bob the Drag Queen
So roughly, that's how many you think you like rough, you have to invite.
Monet X Change
And then Amanda's. Amanda and Angela's kids. Amanda, Angela and Ashley. Kids.
Bob the Drag Queen
How old are kids, Amanda?
Monet X Change
They're college age.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
Except for summer. Like, the theme. Youngest is like maybe like 13.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you're in high school or younger, you're not coming.
Monet X Change
No, there's no babies. There's no Google. Except. No, there's no Google.
Bob the Drag Queen
Gagas.
Monet X Change
Like, some of them are adults.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
Like my Avante, the one that called you the bear. The Bearilla. He's like 22 now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bearilla.
Monet X Change
He's. He's hairy. He just. He couldn't believe Jake was so hairy, so they called him a bearilla. So, I mean, they're. Okay. So Amanda, Angela and Ashley have a lot of kids. Justin has one kid. Bentley has no kids. Andy has two kids.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean.
Monet X Change
I mean, we're. I don't know. It's a lot. It's a lot of people.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
But. Oh, oh, Bentley can come. Andy can come.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would want to do a roast, man.
Monet X Change
Deborah can come.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to do a roast.
Monet X Change
Her daughter can come.
Bob the Drag Queen
A roast at my wedding instead of the toasts, it being a roast.
Monet X Change
But do we have to be sweet, though?
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet X Change
How gutter can we get?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, my grandmother's in, so you can't be talking about slobbing, sucking dicks. You do. Gobbling demon.
Monet X Change
Your grandma has YouTube. She's seen rotations. Monet would not let play rotation for
Bob the Drag Queen
family because that's inappropriate.
Monet X Change
Or my family.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's inappropriate.
Monet X Change
So no one's family can watch rotation. No one's Family?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, not at my.
Monet X Change
There were no children there. There were no. There was.
Bob the Drag Queen
All adults play when I'm not there.
Monet X Change
Can I say to my family group chat now?
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I?
Monet X Change
You just can't play me.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're not there. No.
Monet X Change
So who's allowed to watch rotation? No one. No one you're related to is allowed to watch rotation.
Bob the Drag Queen
Anyone who can find it on YouTube, they can watch it. Not when I'm not.
Monet X Change
So is anyone I'm related to allowed
Bob the Drag Queen
to watch rotation when I'm not present?
Monet X Change
No. You're not gonna be there when they're.
Bob the Drag Queen
They're all.
Monet X Change
They're not even all present. They're all in their individual homes.
Bob the Drag Queen
They would have found it on their own already, Mon.
Monet X Change
Hazel already saying it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did she?
Monet X Change
Of course. She watches everything you do. No, I'm not kidding, Monty. Hazel is a big fan. She watches everything you do. Aunt Hazel.
Bob the Drag Queen
God. Do you know what she thought about it?
Monet X Change
I don't think she told me, but she probably just like, ooh, that was something. It's probably something like that. She was up there.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I want to do so instead of, like, the toast.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. You should do a video with you and Jackie reviewing rotation together. That would go so viral. You think she could do a Riverside link?
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet X Change
You don't have nobody in St. Lucia. They can set up a camera.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to do it to this person. She wants to come back up here. I'm probably going to bring up.
Monet X Change
Don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
Roll your eyes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bring up here for a few weeks. My mom is wild.
Monet X Change

He's so small. Where does he fit all of it?
Monet X Change
Mikey be like shots, Mike. Like, Jesus, you're crazy. For that, he's able to defend himself. You're crazy. For that.

Monet X Change
She's tall now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tall.
Monet X Change
I've been tall to you, but you. That's to you. That's how you met her. So you. She doesn't seem tall to you, but she's tall work shockingly so.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Well, how kids brought. I mean, how kids brought up just. It's kind of crazy how we grow like that, right?
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I Reckon growing is crazy. Grow spurts.
Monet X Change
Well, the truth is, allegedly you do half your growing vertical. Growing between one and three when you're three or how fat you're gonna be really roughly.
Narrator/Advertiser
Huh?
Monet X Change
I mean, it's not fifth grade. My God, if you doubled from fifth grade, you'd be a monster. A monster.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you know what I thought about? What? Doing the wedding in drag.
Monet X Change
You do not want to do that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, he's so kind. Oh, he's such a beautiful bride.
Monet X Change
Maybe just do two. Do like, do like a, like a nightlife wedding.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, that's too much.
Monet X Change
And what are you doing here in la?
Bob the Drag Queen
Would I do it here or in la?
Monet X Change
I said here in la.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm gonna do it in New York. New York. The weather, like we said, 20 variables.
Monet X Change
Go indoors, what you gonna do outdoors?
Bob the Drag Queen
I want outdoors. Yeah, I think we're doing an outdoor indoor situation. But like, I think like a, like a sickening like ride or gown. I'll tell you who's not making it.
Monet X Change
Who?
Bob the Drag Queen
Your friend.
Monet X Change
Who? The one who makes the outfits.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. I have to tell you about that, by the way. I'm so gagged.
Monet X Change
I always tell people, guys, guys, if you want to get a wedding dress, just have one made custom by a local dressmaker. It will be cheaper and more unique than going to a wedding dress store and buying one of those overpriced ass dresses.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I mean, yeah. Or honestly, Goodoria would probably make a beautiful wedding gown.
Monet X Change
So you said this is your ideal dress one time. Is that still true?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, for the time. This is very, this is very of an era. This is very like 2000s, like that, like early aughts, like late 90s. This is nothing I would do.
Monet X Change
Now, do you want your dress to be timeless or do you want your dress to reflect the time you got married? I think there's something.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want it to reflect the time I got married.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I think there's something really interesting about your dress reflecting the time you are married.
Bob the Drag Queen
For sure. Like you look at 80s wedding dresses like. Yeah, I agree. So I want it to look very of the 2000s, I gotta say, after
Monet X Change
the 90s and maybe the early 2000s. I don't see any of these fashions being indicative of the time that we're in.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you're saying look like if you
Monet X Change
see them from the 60s, boom, 70s, boom, 80s, boom, 90s, boom, around 2000s. It's getting real ambiguous.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, 2000s, yes. I think 2010s. Maybe this has enough time hasn't passed to Distinguish itself.
Monet X Change
Yet someone said that what it is is our access to media is causing fashion change so quickly.
Bob the Drag Queen
It can't last a decade because of socials. We have so much access to all different fashion. We just can't stick to one thing basically.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or we keep on going back. Like kids dressing like there's a whole like 70s movement with like a lot of like flare jeans and like guys wearing crop tops. Like it feels very indicative of the 70s.
Monet X Change
What are the crop tops of the 80s? Men in crop tops. Is it the 80s?
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought that was 70s.
Monet X Change
They're probably doing the 70s too. But in my head it's very 80s.
Bob the Drag Queen
In my head when I think of 70s, I think of bell bottom, corduroy, high waisted flare pants with an afro and like a crop toppy, tight like cap sleeve situation.
Monet X Change
You ever taken a read too far. You ever take a read? You were like, I shouldn't have done that.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm sure I have.
Monet X Change
What's up with your memory, bro?
Bob the Drag Queen
My memory's bad, bro.
Monet X Change
You can't think of one read that's gone too far ever. You can never think of anyone. You can't think of a time anyone's ever hurt your feelings with a real read.
Bob the Drag Queen
You brought the Monique Heart one.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but Moart, how dare you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Whatever. Monique Heart, whatever. What are you going to do about it?
Monet X Change
I'm not going to do anything. Okay, exactly what is Mohart going to do to you?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, how she gathered you up on Twitter, Tik Tok the other day.
Monet X Change
How's she going to gather you?
Bob the Drag Queen
How's it gathered you up on Tik Tok? She.
Monet X Change
You.
Bob the Drag Queen
You. You're harsh. Number six.
Monet X Change
I didn't get gathered on Tik Tok.
Bob the Drag Queen
She didn't gather you.
Monet X Change
She mentioned you and me and first of all, neither of us was gathered.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's be clear.
Monet X Change
That's like them girls gathering those little, those little ponytails.
Bob the Drag Queen
That ain't nothing there.
Monet X Change
A lack of gathering as it were. A smattering.
Bob the Drag Queen
Magic, the Gathering.
Monet X Change
Magic, the Gathering.
Bob the Drag Queen
Should we stop playing Magic the Gathering? Bosco had Irene play it.
Monet X Change
I'm open to it.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's just, it's like a card game. Like Pokemon. I thought it was more like a dungeon. I thought it was more like Dungeons and Dragons.
Monet X Change
No, it's close. I think it's closer to Yu Gi Oh.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean Yu Gi oh and Pokemon are very similar.
Monet X Change
Are they?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
I never played Pokemon.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, you told me this. Yeah.
Monet X Change
So I feel like when you're playing Pokemon, talk me through it. Talk me through playing Pokemon.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, like, you put down your Charizard, right? Charizard has an attack and a defense.
Monet X Change
Okay, now I put down Pokemon. Pikachu. You know, Black ball is called Pikachu.
Bob the Drag Queen
Pokemon.
Monet X Change
That's Pokemon. Hey, Pokemon.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, black people love. Hate calling characters by the government name.
Monet X Change
What's his name? Pokemon.
Bob the Drag Queen
You'll be like brain, Brain Frozen. Come on, Brave it goes. Get it brave. Her name is Muran.
Monet X Change
Get it frozen. Get it frozen. Okay, so I put my card. So what are the numbers? There's numbers that represent something, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. There's an attack and defense, Right, Jacob? And then. So if my Charizard has 1200 attack and yours has a. Sorry, that's Yu Gi.
Monet X Change
Oh, Pokemon has health and attack.
Bob the Drag Queen
HP and attack. Yeah. And then. So if my attack is 300 and your HP is 200, when I attack you, you're. You're dead because I took all of your. All of your hp.
Monet X Change
Can I have your card now?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, your card just burns. It goes back into your deck.
Monet X Change
You just take it back. No, it goes into your discard.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, your eye. Mine stays up. Yours goes into your discard. You don't trade.
Monet X Change
You don't. You don't take the cards from the loser.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. Because I killed you. Do I just take it forever?
Monet X Change
Yeah. No, the one they call trading cards.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because you if just not in the game. I want to trade a card that you have. We trade like that. Not in the game.
Monet X Change
I was fixing too. Well, I want the Blue Ass White Dragon.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's Yu Gi. Oh, that's not Pokemon.
Monet X Change
I know that. I know that's.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think you did know that.
Monet X Change
I absolutely knew that. Well, 100% knew that. I know Yu Gi. I don't know Pokemon, though. But I want that Blue Ass White Dragon. I want to find a way to get that Blue Ass White Dragon.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want. I want the Dark Magician. Oh, my gosh. Should we get into Yu Gi oh. And start playing Yu Gi? Oh.
Monet X Change
I mean, I used to play Yu a little bit. I was not good at it. I was never good. And I didn't have enough money to have many cards, so I had one deck and I. I felt like someone took my cards. I feel like I played and someone. We played for keeps.
Bob the Drag Queen
George.
Monet X Change
George. Oh, George. I gotta. I gotta tell you.
Bob the Drag Queen
So the reason why Keto Saiba.
Monet X Change
The reason why I was thinking about George is because George was actually really hot. When you mentioned your hot, hot George was.
Bob the Drag Queen
They hated that.
Monet X Change
They loved it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just like when you were smacking the Gum Ludicrous.
Monet X Change
I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
The comments were like. Bob, no, this is not.
Monet X Change
I know. You're not talking.
Bob the Drag Queen
When was I. I've never smacked gum on this. On this podcast.
Monet X Change
You smacked on the pod the whole first season.
Bob the Drag Queen
You said. I said gum the first season. Let it go, Elsa. Let it the fuck go.
Monet X Change
What if it's still affecting me?
Bob the Drag Queen
That's your problem. Then you need to know how to move on.
Monet X Change
Before we go, I want to tell you something.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
And this is something that everyone's been reacting crazy to. And I want to see your reaction to this.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
Because everyone's been acting really wild about this.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
I swallow all of my gum. Every bit of gum I have ever chewed. For 39 years. I've swallowed every piece of gum and I chew a lot of gum.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's fucking disgusting.
Monet X Change
Why is it disgusting? What makes it disgusting?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because you know. Do you know what gum does when you enter Dwight? Why? Does nothing. It. It does nothing. It causes disruption in your. Any other. Look at. Look at what?
Monet X Change
I'm living proof. I swallowed.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you think you're functioning?
Monet X Change
Yes. Yes. There's no blockage. I'm very regular. Three times a day.
Bob the Drag Queen
You do not. You should.
Monet X Change
Two to three times a day.
Bob the Drag Queen
You shit three times a day?
Monet X Change
Two to three times a day.
Bob the Drag Queen
And there's ample waste there.
Monet X Change
Yeah. There's no little. It's not going to have pebbles. I take three. Two to three healthy shits every day. How often do you shit?
Bob the Drag Queen
Twice a day.
Monet X Change
So how come you can believe it for you, but you can't believe it for me?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because I'm incredibly healthy.
Monet X Change
I'm also healthy.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't swallow my gum.
Monet X Change
But it doesn't do anything to your digestive system. It does nothing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jerry, can you look at what gum does to your digestive system?
Monet X Change
And what are you gonna do when it says nothing?
Bob the Drag Queen
What am I gonna do? Yeah. Nothing. There's not a wager or award.
Monet X Change
Will you admit you're wrong? Kiwo, can you at least admit you're wrong?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll say I'm wrong.
Monet X Change
Admit you apologize to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Chewing gum is not. Wait, what did you search?
Monet X Change
Is it digested?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, chewing gum is not digested by human body. It is composed of an indigestible base material typically made from synthetic rubber or resin, along with flavoring sweeteners and softeners.
Monet X Change
Myths of the Seven Year Digestion the commonly misconception that chewing gum takes seven years. While chewing gum is generally. Is. Whilst chewing gum is general, generally harmless, excessive chewing or swallowing of large amounts of gum can potentially cause constipation. Never has abdominal discomfort. Never had. You've had that.
Bob the Drag Queen
You've had. You've had abdominal discomfort.
Monet X Change
I've had a. But it was different from chewing gum.
Bob the Drag Queen
We don't know. You're assuming.
Monet X Change
And you had it too, some of yours from not chewing gum.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I've never had that. Just as a gum.
Monet X Change
You've never had abdominal. You've never had a. You've never had any kind of a stomachache from gas. You don't know that. I know it could be from not chewing gum. You know.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know when you have, like a really bad gas or you have a migraine, don't you wish you had, like.
Monet X Change
I don't have that connection.
Bob the Drag Queen
An X ray. Not the same thing. But like, if you had a really bad headache or you've had like a really bad gas, don't you wish you had, like in the Jetsons, like a thing that just go over your body so you can see exactly what it is?
Monet X Change
They have solvos.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, like an X ray thing.
Monet X Change
They have those. They're called X rays.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, but, but like in the Jetsons, it's something like you can pick up here and be like. You know what I mean? Like that. Like, I wish I had that in my life.
Monet X Change
You could go get one.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you think in our lifetime we will. We will. We will experience teleportation travel?
Monet X Change
I don't think you want to. I think you'll come on the other side as a monster. I think you will come on the other side. Mangled, bangled, Spangled and spaghetti.
Bob the Drag Queen
But the, but the, the. The idea that we can go from here to New York. York. In the Blip Girl, the other day
Monet X Change
I ordered something from Amazon. I was watching a video about. About the Black Death.
Bob the Drag Queen
That was that thing that happened in Europe in Messina.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Then everyone got the Black Death.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
And it was an ancient. What I would think about people living in ancient Greece or whatever. And I was thinking myself, no one's ever lived in ancient Greece.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
No one's ever lived in ancient Greece. It wasn't. It was just Greece. It was ultra modern, super, like the peak of technology. So when they weren't thinking, girl, we're living in the ancient times. They were like, technology has never been this advanced. They were like, no one's ever known as much as we know right now. You think you're living in this super
Bob the Drag Queen
duper present like us right now.
Monet X Change
Yeah. But in 2,000 years, I'm like, can you put the Ancients.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
Monet X Change
But like, they were like, we think the like. For example, there was a time where it probably took a piece of mail two weeks to get from New York to la. And people were thinking, can you believe it only takes two weeks?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Can you believe only two weeks for priority mail? Holy shit.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. In like 100. I mean. But the thing is that. Have you said, oh, my God. This brings me a whole nother conversation.

Podcast: Sibling Rivalry
Hosts: Monét X Change & Bob The Drag Queen
Date: December 1, 2025
This episode dives into the art and culture of "reading"—the cherished queer tradition of clever, comedic insults (or “reads”), especially their presence in drag culture and family dynamics. Bob and Monét revel in personal anecdotes, iconic Drag Race moments, and the sometimes-thin line between a hilarious roast and a mean-spirited jab. The discussion is lively, honest, and deeply funny, enriched with nostalgia for growing up in roasting households, reflections on fat jokes, and musings on friendship and vulnerability.
