Bob the Drag Queen
Macaroni.
Monet X Change
Hi, Bob, how are you?
Bob the Drag Queen
Time at the New York Comedy, New York Comedy Festival.
Monet X Change
It was pretty amazing performer. Brooklyn was amazing, you know. Thank you guys for all for buying tickets. Thank you guys for buying tickets and selling a girl out. I really appreciate it. A lot of friends and family came out and it was really great. I filmed the. In my time in New York.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just.
Monet X Change
I really do miss New York. Oh, I did. I filmed the video with Nick Smith. It's coming out. It might be out right now. It's coming out soon, whatever. And at the house, I was like, bob, you and I should buy this house together. But Bob was like, why don't we buy this house right now, girl, we'll do that later. But I want. I could.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. I don't know what Monet think I'm doing over here, but I'm not sitting on piles of cash to be Buying houses I'm not going to live in.
Monet X Change
I mean, but what we could do is buy it and we could rent it out and make coin.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not trying to buy an investment property.
Monet X Change
You think?
Bob the Drag Queen
Really? Do you think that real estate and investment properties are an easy, easy gig? Being a landlord is not easy. It is incredibly hard. I'm not trying to fucking be no goddamn landlord or be no Airbnb person under any.
Monet X Change
I don't think you can. Airbnb New York has like, a weird Airbnb law. It's not that cut and dry easy. Like New York is weird also.
Bob the Drag Queen
The other part of that, too, is that I would. I'm certainly. I was thinking more and more about this. This, this apartment and how I'm not like, the only way that I would move into that house with you and have it split so. And so is if the master bedroom, the primary bedroom was like a workspace. And then we each claimed a room because, like, what you been.
Monet X Change
You going be.
Bob the Drag Queen
You going be in the primary bedroom?
Monet X Change
I would. I would be okay with you being in there.
Bob the Drag Queen
You shut your lion ass up. What are you talking about, shut your lion ass up? When we were. When we were in. In the. Wherever the. We were. Where's the. Not the Alps. Where's this snowing at?
Monet X Change
Aspen.
Bob the Drag Queen
Aspen. We're in Aspen. Monet was like, I have to have the. The biggest bedroom I have.
Monet X Change
I did not say that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Then how'd you end up with the biggest bedroom?
Monet X Change
Because first of all, we did it very fair. We all went in there and then people just put their stuff places.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is that fair?
Monet X Change
I mean, what, people just put their things there anywhere?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, that is the fairest way to do it. This isn't the first episode of Real World, Monet. That's not how things work, bitch. This is not just everyone running the house, throwing your bags down and shit. Also, it was decided before we got up there because you were like, well, me and Annie just started dating and we. When you have a big wound right here. No, we did not.
Monet X Change
I know. I did not say that. You're full of it. I know I did not say that.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I want to have romance. And how am I going to have sex in a small womb?
Monet X Change
No one said all that. And I know for a fact I did not say to anything. You're literally making that up.
Bob the Drag Queen
You expect me to have sex in a small womb?
Monet X Change
If it was you, you give it to Kennedy. You don't care where you sleep. Also, Bob, you literally like. You literally like. But, Bob, you literally, like. You literally, like, it doesn't matter. Like, whatever. Like, you.
Shannon Maldonado
You.
Monet X Change
You don't have an opinion.
Bob the Drag Queen
What I said was, it's not worth fighting over. I said, girl, you can have it. It's not worth fighting over. I didn't say it doesn't matter whatever I say. Well, it ain't. I said I don't want enough to fight over it. That's what I said.
Monet X Change
Okay. And so if someone doesn't want to fight over, someone does. Then. Then the person doesn't want to fight over it.
Bob the Drag Queen
The matter or was it put your bags down first? Which one was it? Because you changed the story up twice.
Monet X Change
It was put the bags down first. But let's go with your reality. I'm gonna say if it didn't.
Bob the Drag Queen
If.
Monet X Change
If you don't wanna fight over it, and I did.
Bob the Drag Queen
So then you're the one who said the whole. Me being like, it doesn't matter. It's whatever. You enter that into the chat. Not me. You. You invent to the chat.
Monet X Change
And you just confirmed it was true.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I didn't. What happened was we were talking about it beforehand, and you were like, I want the biggest room. And I said, it's not worth fighting over is what I said. Great.
Monet X Change
So then we every. Everyone got what they wanted.
Bob the Drag Queen
So which one is it, Monet? Was it we just run in and put our bags down, or did the conversation have. Which one was it?
Monet X Change
I think it was one.
Bob the Drag Queen
I.
Monet X Change
Okay, here's what I'm saying. I think it would just run and put your bags or wherever. That's my recollection of it. But if you say that's not what has happened, I'm open to hearing what you think and what you said.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why did you say the other thing? Why did you say that? I said it's not. I don't. I don't care. I'll sleep wherever. Why did you say that if it was just running?
Monet X Change
Because that was my version of. That was my version of you. And be like, it's not. I don't want to fight over it.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you just made up a scenario.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Like we do a lot in this podcast.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, you made it up the first time when you said, because you know what? Because Jacob was there and Jacob remembers too well.
Monet X Change
No, because you. We. We've all seen anytime anything said about Bob. Jacob, be my man, my man, my man. All up and down this podcast. We already know where Jacob's gonna be at Jacob's.
Bob the Drag Queen
The truth. The truth, the truth. Which is also how on Tour bus. We ended up. We ended up rotating in the back room because Monet tried to take it for herself.
Monet X Change
No, I did not. See, that's how I know you're lying. That's how I know. Okay, y', all, I. Y', all, as my name is Monet, but the exchange.
Bob the Drag Queen
Your name Kevin.
Monet X Change
I literally thought of the idea of splitting it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Name is Mon.
Monet X Change
I literally thought. I brought up the idea of splitting it and I was like, bob, do you want to take it first? And then Bob was like, monet, what's your angle here? I'm like, I don't have an angle. I was like, you take it first because Andy's going to come like, halfway through. Then we can switch then, and then we, him and I can have the big room. But it was my idea to split. To split the big room.
Bob the Drag Queen
You did have an angle.
Monet X Change
It's not an angle.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you did have an angle.
Monet X Change
Angle my fucking balls to the top of your forehead. That's what I want you to do.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you wearing pants? Oh, they're shorts. But also, I mentioned that I was like, before we even got before Monet. Actually, the truth is, I was doing a bit just now, but before Monet even got to try to colonize the back room with her run and put a flag down. I put a flag in it. Damn, bitch, is you British? I. I instead was like, what we should do is we should rotate it. And then Monet said, would you like to take the room first? And then I said, what's your angle? And she goes, no, wait, let me free. Let me finish mine. Then Monet goes, I don't have an angle. But I did already plan to have Andy come on the last half of the day at the exact halfway mark. I don't have an angle, though, But I do already happen to plan to have my boyfriend magically show up on the halfway mark. So. Magically.
Monet X Change
Magically.
Bob the Drag Queen
So what's your angle? This is advisory, not. Not rivalry.
Monet X Change
I know. Are you sipping on some scissor?
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't even.
Monet X Change
It look like I got a nipple on this bottle. What was going to happen was we had two.
Bob the Drag Queen
Must
Monet X Change
is what I think she is.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think SZA's Muslim.
Monet X Change
Yeah, she was raised Muslim. Well, her father was Muslim and her dad. Her father is Muslim and her mom was Catholic because she had both, like,
Bob the Drag Queen
two dads and the gay. Gay. Two gay dads. Oh, my God. Progressive got two gay, vegan, non binary dads.
Monet X Change
Anyway, the best thing is not even worth it. Now we're so far, we need to get into that advice. We are 10 minutes into the episode.
Bob the Drag Queen
Other things we already know are Muslims. Shaquille o'. Neal.
Monet X Change
I didn't know that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Ice Cube, Lindsay Lohan. She's. Lindsay's Muslim? Yeah. You don't remember the saga when Lindsay Lohan convert to Islam?
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is she still Muslim? I don't know Lindsay. Well, I mean, I think Shaq and, and, and Ice Cube are, are a nation of Islam.
Monet X Change
Wait, Ice Cube is Muslim?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Nation of Islam. Wow.
Monet X Change
Lindsay Lohan, Muslim. Did she revert to Islam? She better.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, she Lizzlet. That doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. Lizzie, little hand. It's all like, is she. All right, well, let's go ahead and do some questions.
Monet X Change
No, I'll start the questions, guys. We're going to start the advisory now. Jacob, thank you so much.
Patrick
Hey, Bob and Monet. My name is Patrick. I'm 20 years old and I currently live in Northern Virginia. So my question for you guys is, how do I go about this? So I've been to some conventions here in the D.C. dMV area and there were some drag queens there. It was a very great event. I loved it and I was so excited because I really wanted to hand a queen a tip. However, the convention I went to, since it was such a large scale event, I've never got the chance to even hand a queen a tip by hand while they perform. So how do you guys feel about touching tips and things like that? What's the drag etiquette? What's the etiquette of the tip person? The tipper? How do I go about that? Love you guys. And just kind of tell me, what should I do?
Monet X Change
Bitch, drag queens love money. If you have money to give a drag queen, she will take it. Okay. And if you were. If it is a big venue and you can't get to the stage or you can't throw hard enough. Because another thing someone do is if they're too far, they'll ball up the dollar and they'll chuck it at the stage. And then when the queen's counting her to playo, she'll uncrumple it. So that's the thing. But if you, if you can't throw it and they're too far, I would venture to guess that your queen is on Venmo or Cash app. If you see her name on the screen, just like search her Instagram and I'm sure there's a link tree for it and you can find it to her that way. And then if you Are in close proximity and you can tip the queen. Do not play with this motherfucking money in front of this girl, okay? Don't try to be cute. Don't try to. Don't try to think like you being sexy and putting your mouth and tease her. Especially for a motherfucking dollar. Now, if you have a $20 bill, you can give me a little dance. Not too much, though. Not too much. You can just do just a little tease. I will allow a little something, but very, very little. Okay? Now if you have a hundred dollar bill, we can dance a little bit, okay? But even with that, don't again, never do too much because then I'm going to get irritated and I'm going to smash the money and then you're going to have a bad night. And I have the microphone. I'm the queen. I'm always going to win. So don't ever do too much. Be respectful with the sip, okay? Because I like your money. I don't need your money, period.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jesus, Monet is fighting. Patrick, you know, I second. Monet says if you have a big tip, I actually like to. I think it's cute for you to show the audience that you're tipping a big amount because it could encourage them. Show them a 20. Show the audience, Look, y', all, this is $20. And then hand it to a bird. But don't the. What you really should not do. And I hope you're watching because this is a very important. This is a very important visual moment that you need to see. Do not do this with the tip. Don't do that one, one snatch back. And I've moved on. One time I got into this interaction with this guy where he came up to the stage and he handed up. He put $100 out. Sure, everyone, a hundred dollars. And I grabbed the other part of the hundred dollars. And then he would not let go. And then he was joking and then he pulled out a $5 bill. Oh, baby, you think I let go of that fucking dollar? He and I were tug of warring with this $100 bill. And then we were going back and forth and I was like, I'm not letting this go. I rip the dollar, the $100 bill in half. He has half of it. I have half of it. He's now upset. He's not gonna give me the other half. I take the half in my hand, I ball it up, I swallow it, and I chug it down with water. I said, now no one has a hundred dollars, bitch.
Monet X Change
Wow, that is insane.
Bob the Drag Queen
Don't come up. Don't come up here playing with me. No motherfucking money. It's cost you a hundred dollars, baby. I hope it was worth. I hope it was worth the price of admission to play in my face on this stage in front of all these people. And you know what? And he didn't do it again. He said his ass down. He might have left.
Monet X Change
And your gastrointestinal tract has never. The most expensive. The most expensive.
Bob the Drag Queen
It went through me. It went through me easier than that cheese you had last night.
Monet X Change
You swallowed it and ate it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, right. Right in front of his face. Right in front of his face.
Monet X Change
This from the same go like Monet. Stop putting that money in your mouth. This from you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never said that to you. I've never said that to you.
Monet X Change
Yes, you did. Yes, you did.
Patrick
When?
Monet X Change
You absolutely did. But back in the city, like Monet, I really don't think you should put money in your mouth. Yes, you absolutely did.
Bob the Drag Queen
I never said that to you.
Patrick
Monet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Money.
Monet X Change
I used to do a bit when I would, especially at Montau, take money. I would, like, put it in my mouth for some type of whatever. And Monet, you really should not put that money in your mouth. You absolutely did. 1,000%.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet. Monet, just be. Let me tell y', all, I've seen it on this podcast live. Monet makes up scenarios of things I've said, things that I have never said once in my life. And then she just asserts with all of her might that I 100% said it, even if I have never uttered those words a day in my natural born life. And that. That. And that is the Monet way, honey. But also, I want to say real quick, drag queens do love getting tips. I used to have a bit in my show. I said, you can tip me now. You can tip me during the show, you can tip me after the show. If you see me in line at Chipotle tomorrow, bitch, make it rain. Like, you can always tip me. It is weird, though. If I'm out of drag at another Queen show, do not tip me.
Monet X Change
Yeah, that's weird.
Bob the Drag Queen
Even. Even if you've always wanted to tip off a drag queen, If I'm sitting here watching someone else show out of drag, don't tip me. Tip the queen. Tip the point who's performing. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
Yeah. And also, events was never too late. You said it's weird.
Bob the Drag Queen
What the typical queen at Dragon who's, like, not performing, like she's walking around me. She'll probably still Take it. I mean, I'll imagine if you give a queen a dollar at any point in time, she'll take it. But it can be a little strange to walk up to a queen with a dollar if she's not performing at the club.
Monet X Change
If you see me out, you want to give me a dollar? Maybe not a dollar. If you got a 10 or more, I'll take it outside.
Bob the Drag Queen
But also, I used to do disgusting stuff at shows all the time. That's why I feel like I wouldn't be like, don't do that. I used to fucking always be doing something. I used to lick the patrons faces or something. Or I used to. I used to lick dollars and put them on my forehead. I used to do it all the time. Well, I usually. If it's already. But it's usually already sweaty, though, so I don't have to have. Close your eyes, exhale, feel your body relax, and let go of whatever you're carrying today. Well, I'm letting go of the worry

Bethany
Hey, Monet. Oh, my God, I love you guys so much. So my question is. Well, I'm a drag queen and I've been performing live for like a year now. And just the other day, we were doing a drag show. It was after the drag show, for reference, I was dressed up as Doja Cat from her Paint the Town Red video with like the half buzz cut hair and like the feral shirt. So that's what I look like. And so I was just asking the bartenders, I was meeting up with people and like, they're like, oh, my God, I love your show. I love your performance. I'm like, thank you. And so I went to the bartender, I was like, hey, can I have a Sprite? They're like, yeah, sure, girl. I got you. And so while they're pouring me a Sprite, this guy comes up and he's like, where is this? But basically he started hitting on me and asking for, like, my number. And I wasn't sure. He did smell like Monet's favorite kind of lettuce
Bob the Drag Queen
cabbage.
Bethany
Yeah, it was very weird. I was like, I don't know if he knows that this is A drag show. He's like, where am I? I'm like, yeah, they just had a drag show. And I gave him his. Gave him my number because he was asking for it. But I guess my question is, what do you. What. What is this some vice for, like, drag queens, like, getting hit on? Like, what should I have done? Like, what's a good way to turn him down? Because I feel like when I'm in Dragon, I feel like I'm, like, in my work zone. Okay. Anyways, but thank you. Love you guys both. Thank you so much.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm so happy to take this one. You are talking to someone who, in the business, a lot of people call chasers or clown fuckers. And what a lot of times they will do is they will act like they don't know you're a drag queen. There's also people who. People also do this a lot of time with. With trans women, where they'll talk to them and they'll act like they don't know they're trans women, even though they know for a fact that they are. So you're in a gay bar, you are watching drag queens. You are in a costume. And he's like, where am I, bitch? What do you mean, where am I? You know, he's playing dumb up front so that down the line he can act like he didn't know that you were. That you have a penis is basically what he's doing. He wants to act like he does not know that once you get all the way down to nothing, he's completely shocked that you have a penis. And this can be in my.
Monet X Change
Miraculously knows how to suck it perfectly.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. In my opinion, this can be incredibly dangerous. You do not want to engage with anyone like this. A lot of clown fuckers or chasers, they do know, and they act like they know, and that's part. And they're like. They're not. They're not doing it. They're not doing a performance. There's no kayfabe. There's no performance going on. Kayfab. There's no performance going on within this dynamic. They're just like, I like what I like, and I want to. And I want to. And I want to like that. And. And if you're. A lot of. It's not uncommon for drag performers to dabble in having sex in drag is actually incredibly common. A lot of. There's a lot of men who are attracted to drag. Sometimes I don't think they can really know that drag and trans women are not a perfect circle. In the Venn diagram, you know what I mean? There's overlap because there are trans women who do drag, and there are people who find that they are trans through drag, but trans. All trans women are not drag queens, even though some trans women are drag queens, if that makes any sense at all. But just know that, like, it can be messy because of the DL nature of it. But if they're one of the people who just, like, just loves fucking drag queens and they're cool with it and you're cool with it and they're not being weird about it, then fucking get painted up like a clown and ride some ding a ling.
Monet X Change
You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Go to the circus, baby.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I get stuck up with a lot of guys, like what you are describing, and I get to have a lot of fun. I never found myself in a dangerous situation. That's not to say that they don't exist. Were you in the hallway with guys
Bob the Drag Queen
and you were like. Weren't you in the hallway with a bunch of guys and, like, 12 of them came out of the room? You were running for your life and trying to get the elevator, pressing the button. Crazy.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I mean, that was, like, on Grindr. Like, we, like, we hooked. We talked on Grindr, and I was like, I'm gonna come over. That could have happened if I was in drag or out of drag.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I'm saying you were like, I've never been in a dangerous situation. Cause that account had, like, a little draggy on it, right?
Monet X Change
Yeah. But I've also had words. I had scary situations out of drag. Like, I think it's just the nature of hooking up.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was just saying. You were like, I've never. Craigslist?
Monet X Change
Yeah. Pretty sure it's Craigslist.
Bob the Drag Queen
What was this, 1991?
Monet X Change
No, Craigslist was around up until, what, 20?
Bob the Drag Queen
I use Craigslist. I use Craigslist.
Monet X Change
Did you come on Craigslist?
Ava
Really?
Monet X Change
Nicole Byer and I were talking about this the other day, and I was like. I was like. She had.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like.
Monet X Change
She didn't know. She didn't know about the M for M. The. Like, There was more than just M for M. Yeah, there were M4M. There was M4T.T for MBA on all of them. Mm.
Bob the Drag Queen
For TT, MTF for elementope. Yeah, it was a whole bunch of stuff. Yeah, girl.
Monet X Change
Everything. Qvc, gummies. And then so we were. So. Yeah, so I've had a lot of fun in those situations. I think that they can be fun. I think that you have to, like, be discerning Right. I think that whether I was hooking up in drag or out of drag. What?
Bob the Drag Queen
I just had a really embarrassing moment in my body, and I'm embarrassed that I had this moment and you farted. No, I ordered some chicken today, and then I was eating the chicken, but I was like, I'm full. So I just. Like, I'm not going to finish this because I don't usually eat leftovers that often. So I just put it outside. And then in this moment, I thought to myself, I wonder if that chick is still inside.
Monet X Change
Well, don't be embarrassed by that. Whatever.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I was gonna go check. Even though it's not. It feels like digging through the trash. Even though it's not. But the bag is just sitting right outside my hotel door. But, like, the embarrassment of, like, you know, I'm not ashamed to do. I will put my garbage in front of someone else's door. Oh, I'm about to say, I cannot
Monet X Change
believe yours is right by your door. I. I go across the hall and two doors down, I put it in front of there so it doesn't look up because, well, when I order Uber Eats, I'm not. Shame to say this, you people think I would. I routinely get place settings for three people. Like, they'll give me three sets of knives and forks.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. And I'm like, I'm not even. I'm not putting this by my door. Especially if. Bitch. If it's kfc. I'm not putting KFC by my door. I'm not, under any circumstances, putting an empty bag of KFC outside my door. Not doing it. Yeah. Sorry.
Monet X Change
So I just. I just think you just have to use it. Yes. I think you have to use your discernment in that situation. Like, whether I was hooking up in drag or out of drag, I was just kind of discerning. Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like.
Monet X Change
Like, based on how the conversation is going, I'm, like, kind of checking the temperature of, like, how I think it's going or if I. If I met somebody in person, like, by cruising. Oh, my God, there she is. But it's probably all cold and nasty, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
Chicken wings are fine. Cold.
Monet X Change
Uh, man. So that's your man, your man, your man, your man. So just discern, like, whether it was in drag, out of drag. I would always just, like, kind of take the temperature if I. If I met someone cruising. Oh, I can feel you. Tell me. Stop, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I. I'm trying to refocus.
Monet X Change
Jesus. If I met someone cruising, I would, like, kind of, like, feel the vibe because it can be dangerous in drag or out of drag. You kind of just have to just check and just, like, be super alert and super aware. Like, if you do not travel, don't travel this time just because he's hot and you're in drag. Like only host. Like, keep to your things that you normally do in drag or out of drag that you feel keep you safe and generally you're fine. And. And even when. Even when I would bring motherfuckers to my house, I always had my. In my couch. I had a knife in my couch. In my bed, I had a fucking hammer and a knife on my bed. Like, I have things that I felt to keep me safe just in case somebody got buck wall and crazy. My motherfucking apartment of my house. I'm like, you're. You're going down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you have anything in your apartment now?
Monet X Change
No, Andy's. I mean, some people want Andy who's career.
Bob the Drag Queen
Andy's the thing. Andy's the thing.
Monet X Change
No, no, I'm saying. I'm saying I was. I'm saying there's no one coming to my house right now. But he tried to get crazy one night. I'd be like, I will
Bob the Drag Queen
if you just hurt Andy's feelings. Just say something mean. Say something mean. Andy will be devastated for a week. You don't need no weapon. A shitty look, and Andy's down for the count.
Bethany
Be like,
Monet X Change
That's my man. I'll stick this out of him.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I'm a step. All right, what's our next question?
Ava
Hello, my name is Bethany and I am 28. And I was wanting advice on confidence and having confidence in situations where people are saying something you don't agree with as far as, like, political beliefs or like, just even, you know, LGBTQ rights and. And things like that. If someone's saying something that whether they intend to or not, is, you know, racist, homophobic, anything like that, how to have the confidence to say up for what you believe is right, especially in a work setting, is where I'm having this issue where my co workers are casually saying things I definitely don't agree with. Thank you so much. Love you both.
Monet X Change
Oh, in the workplace, like between amongst friends and work, I think that's two completely different. You have to handle that two separate ways. work, you should go through the proper channels so that you do not get yourself in trouble or at will to be fired because of. Because if you have addressed someone's problematic behavior, I think that you need to be very careful with that. Because especially someone who is being racist. They probably have no. They probably have no qualms with alerting the right people to get you in trouble for. For reprimanding them or for making observations about their racist comments or remarks or behavior. So I would say go through the right channel, which is maybe your manager first and human resources, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But if y' all are, like, really cool work friends, you may feel a little more comfortable being like, hey, Bob, that was low key, a little crazy for you to say, and then that may lead to conversation. But if y' all are workplace acquaintances and y' all aren't work friends, honestly, even with work friends, I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
People are crazy.
Monet X Change
In 2023, people are crazy. And people. Let me tell you, people who are racist hate being called out on their racist behavior. They know that they're doing it, and they try to act like they're not doing it. And when they're called out, they were
Bob the Drag Queen
like, what do you.
Monet X Change
What do you mean? And like, that can cause a whole. I would say go through the right channels. Do not try to do this on your own and address their behavior, because you might get your ass fired.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I don't know. I think that there are ways to address racism in the workplace without going through, quote, unquote, the proper channels, because you can address things that people are saying that are racist without addressing that person. So, for example, if someone goes, I think that Muslims are terrorists in the workplace, you could easily be like, you know, I have a lot of Muslim friends and none of them are terrorists, and just say it to the room. But, like, I just want everyone to know I actually have a lot of Muslim friends. None of them are terrorists. Not even one of them. Literally, not even a single one of them. So that's just my. That's just my opinion on that. It doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to be like, hey, it can just be like a counterpoint to say out loud.
Monet X Change
That's fair.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I've also noticed that this thing where people. Where people say this. People say this often. I'm gonna give a little pushback on that. Have you heard that people go that
Monet X Change
people say, like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna.
Bob the Drag Queen
A little pushback.
Monet X Change
This happened. And this happened in Survivor. This girl, this guy said was. Was there before. He was like, I had no experience. Like, I just. I went home first last time. This one girl, she was like, I'm gonna push back on that. But you had the experience. You came here, you had. Like, I was like, Damn. But it's so cunty without being cunty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. But I think it is certainly possible to just state your opinion also as your own opinion. And I can't imagine that saying in your workplace, I don't think Muslims are terrorists, or I don't think black people are dangerous, or I don't think Jewish people are greedy, or I don't think that, you know, Asian people are. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Would. Would. Would warrant being reprimanded by human resources. I'd actually be really shocked if. If it. If it ever did come to that. And obviously, we are in a world where Islamophobia and anti Semitism are rampant right now, obviously because of what's going on in Palestine. And I mean.
Monet X Change
But I mean, I don't know. Like, I used to wear nail polish at the Yale Club, and then one girl, like, I wore my nail polish, and she commented that I didn't. That. That. That she didn't say gay, but she was like, wearing nail polish is. I forget the word she used. It wasn't gay, basically. Her comment was basically saying, like, wearing nail polish is a very girly thing to do. Which I knew she was talking about me, and I took offense to that. And I was like. Well, and I addressed my other core court that I was like. I was like, she's a hating ass bitch. And I don't think. And I can wear the middle of the poncho I want, even though I am gay. And then that's escalated. I mean, maybe because I said she was a hating ass bitch, we have to have mediation, but maybe not escalate.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did she say it in front of a lot of people?
Monet X Change
Yeah, she said it in the break room.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I can imagine being like. And I can also imagine being like, well, you know, since we're all just stating our pens in the break room, I know that there are. Yes, lots of women do wear nail polish, and it probably is a girly thing to do, quote, unquote. But I actually happen to know that a lot of people who aren't women and who aren't girls also paint their nails. And I think we all know that. Oh, look at that. That's proof right there. Look at that. That's crazy.
Monet X Change
Meanwhile, I'm fully gonna be in drag that night.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, I had an issue with. I was wearing nail polish when I worked at the Jekyll and High Club. And one day the manager called me in the office, and he was like, you. You paint your nails. I noticed that your nails are painted. And baby, this was in my heavy activism. I was ready to stand up. I was ready to stand 10 toes down and be like, I'll have you know that lots of people of lots of different gender expressions, men, women, women, and in between, paint their nails. He was like, I have no problem painting your nails. They're chipped. They're always chipped. They don't look good. They look bad. So if you're going to paint your nails can maybe switch to gel polish since it doesn't chip. He didn't say, but honestly, he ate me up with that. He ate me.
Monet X Change
Because they were probably like. So you paint your nails and you think about, like, what, What, What, What Opi color is that? Is that. Is that desert shroom? Okay, good, good, good.
Bethany
Thank you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, like, it appears that you paint your nails. And I mean, you. It looks like you're doing it yourself. That's the problem. No, he ate me up. Shout out to him, what's his name? Or his name, bitch. Wait, wait.
Monet X Change
Have you heard the Keke Palmer stuff?
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, so let me see if I can have this. I'm not really up on my celebrity gossip right now, but it seems like Kiki Palmer and the father of her
Monet X Change
children, her child, Darius Jackson. Her child? Yeah. One child.
Bob the Drag Queen
The father of her child is. Well, they. After he publicly shamed her on the Internet for wearing a see through dress to an usher concert or to. They seem to have broken up or. I don't know, they may have broken up at the time. And then now his brother has come forward and said that Keke Palmer is, like, one of the most selfish people he's ever met in his life. On Twitter, after Kiki had already.
Monet X Change
She filed a restraining order because he was being. Because she was being abused by him.
Bob the Drag Queen
Against the brother.
Monet X Change
No, against her ex boyfriend, Darius, the father. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then Keke Palmer's mother took to the Internet to be like, I know you ain't talking, right. I know you didn't just call somebody manipulative. This. This got to be one. There's got to be a bit. Somebody. Somebody. Somebody say psych. Somebody please say pont.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but, like, there's all these. These, like, videos. Well, there's still shots of the video of him, like, apparently, like, hemming her up and choking her up. And she came. She came with this account. Yes. That he, like, flipped her over a couch. Like he was, like, physically abusing her. I know there are stills because I don't think the actual video. The actual video is. But there are stills of the video because they're for legal reason. I don't think that they can put the whole thing out for whatever reason. But, like, yeah, Kiki was like, he did these things to me, and he threatened to kill himself. Huh.
Bob the Drag Queen
You still have cameras up in your house, like, filming your living room and stuff?
Monet X Change
No, I don't have that anymore since I don't live alone anymore. I don't. When I lived alone, I did.
Bob the Drag Queen
What if Andy tried to hem you up one day, Bob?
Monet X Change
Again, I will literally tell him, I don't like your haircut. And I finish him. Finish him.
Bob the Drag Queen
Damn, your shoes smell kind of funny anyway.
Monet X Change
Yeah. That's so sad. I feel so.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's very upsetting. I hate that she's going. You know, there's. You know, Matt. Can you Google this? He's a Canadian commentator who's really misogynist. His name was, like, Matt something. Not Matt Walsh. Maybe it's not Matt. Canadian. He's the prove me wrong guy. He's the prove me wrong guy type in prove me wrong college campus. It's that guy. Some footage showed up of him, like, just doing, like, the. The most intense mental. Not the most intense. I don't know. I don't. I don't want to try to scale things and compare things, but, like, it's very intense mental abuse of his wife, who is, by the way, fully pregnant. And. And she's like, I just want to, like, drive to the store to get us some food. And he's like, well, what if I need to. Steven Crowder. Steven Crowder. Thank you, Steven Crowder. And she's like, well, what if I. He's like, well, what if I need the car? You're just gonna leave me behind? It's like. And it's like, literally, she just like, I just need to drive the car to the. By the way, this man makes a lot of money. They can afford two cars, first of all.
Monet X Change
Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
But like, the.
Bethany
The.
Bob the Drag Queen
In the video. The home videos of him, like, belittling and, like, gaslighting and, like, mentally abusing this woman who is, like. Who is, like, begging for the cr. For crumbs to eat while. While she's pregnant is wild, especially when he's one of the folks. Like, men should be this. And men should do this. And this video comes out of him just. Just being monstrous to his wife. Pregnant wife. I can't imagine getting someone pregnant and not being as nice as humanly possible.
Monet X Change
Right? Do you. Do you think you're ever going to be. Reach a point where you're going to make people sign NDAs to hang out with you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe. I might.
Monet X Change
There's a part of me now, I'm like. When I. If I have, like, a big part of my house, shouldn't people sign an NDA to come over to my house? I don't know, because I feel like any.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not signing.
Monet X Change
Then you're not coming.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's for everybody. It's for everybody else, but you're not coming. Make that clear.
Monet X Change
How you.
Bob the Drag Queen
How you. How you go.
Monet X Change
How you gonna hate from outside of club when you can't even get in?
Bob the Drag Queen
How can I. How can I get in when I'm not even trying? When I'm not even trying to. I didn't even. Baby, I'm not. I'm not outside begging to hang out at your NDA party with three people. You, Patty and Andy spinning in a circle, and Biscuit or whatever his fucking name is.
Monet X Change
We're the new throuple.
Bethany
Bob.
Monet X Change
Bob and the firm are out. Me and the. Me and the team are in. Honey.
Bob the Drag Queen
Patty getting wrecked. Honey.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. That seems like an HR violation. Please don't say that. God. Jesus, Lord.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's our next question? Wait, pause it real quick. Can I tell you a quick story? Quick story.
Monet X Change
Yeah, yeah, pause it, Pause it.
Bob the Drag Queen
So there's a lot of tall people on this tour, most of them in the crew. And there's this. We. We had a charter flight. So basically the whole plane was just all Madonna. There's like 200 people in the store. All Madonna people. Right? So we're on there. So in the exit, really quick.
Monet X Change
I have a question. How does it happen? So do you think they contact the airline, be like, we need this? Or they just book all the. They just go on a flight, Hopper, and they just book all 200 flights?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I think so. We. We've done two flights now. One of them was just on a Delta flight or KLM Air France. And the other one was always a charter, meaning, like you basically rent a plane. There are companies who would just charter an entire bus chart, like when you charter a cruise ship.
Monet X Change
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
So people. There are companies who own planes who just. Like, your whole company can buy the whole plane. So we're on the plane. And because it's a charter flight, all the seats are exactly the same. There's no first class. There's no. It's all. Every seat is the exact same seat. So Lindsay, our tour manager, has booked all of the tall people in the exit row. And this is. I'm the shortest of the tall People, I am six foot two. The tallest guy on our tour, I think is six, nine or six, eight.
Monet X Change
What the fuck is he doing?
Bob the Drag Queen
He dancing? He's a camera operator. So if you ever come to see the show, he's operating the camera. If you're on stage, he's not operating that camera. He's operating that one. There's one there and there's one right there. You can't miss him. He is gigantic. Really tall, really slim. Nick. Shout out to Nick. Nicholas. Anyway, so we're all on the row. It's me, this other, like, one of the. One of the sound techs, a couple of crew members all in this row together. And we all know there's two row. We're all the tall people. And there's this guy named Courtney who's another camera operator. There's one camera operator during the show. He's 5, 5, 5, 6. And I looked down and Courtney's in the room. I was like, courtney, are you in the right room? And Courtney was like, yeah, this is my seat. And I was like, courtney, I just don't feel like you're in the right. I feel like you're in Nick's seat. Cause Nick's the only one who's not here who's tall. I just feel like that's Nick's seat. He was like, this is my seat. I don't know what to tell you. So then Nick shows up. Nick's walking through the plane. You know what I mean? This is.
Monet X Change
Nick is a 6, 9 guy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, of course Courtney's in his seat. So when Courtney stands up because Courtney's at the. At the window seat, so the first two have to get up. So it is just 6, 5, 6, 6, 5, 6, 6. And he's watching him stand between these gigantic men. I was like, I feel like I've seen this video.
Monet X Change
Have you?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, Bob, you need to.
Monet X Change
Are you watching Gen V?
Bob the Drag Queen
I haven't watched in a couple episodes because I'm hooked on House of Villains.
Monet X Change
Gen V is so it's better than the boys because the boys got so formulated.
Bob the Drag Queen
Watch your mouth. Watch your mouth.
Monet X Change
Every season is. Every season is. Homelander is too powerful. We have to stop him every season. And he's never stopped.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you can't stop him within the first couple seasons. You know what I don't like about the. About genv? What? I was going to say it.
Monet X Change
The period powers.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is not good.
Monet X Change
I don't think so. I. I think there is some overacting,
Bob the Drag Queen
but I think I also don't think it's good writing. I'm like, did this during the strike? Was this written during the strike? Because this.
Monet X Change
No, I think the protagonist. The. The.
Bob the Drag Queen
The.
Monet X Change
The. The main. The main girl who was on Sabrina, I think she's great.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, one of the main lines. Not main lines. One of the main TikTok sounds right now is from Homelander, where he goes, ashley, look at me.
Monet X Change
Homelander.
Bob the Drag Queen
That. That.
Monet X Change
That actor that plays him is fucking insane. He's a great actor.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's Anthony Starr. He's fucking a fight in a bar and was like, kind of went, homelander.
Monet X Change
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, he got into a fight in a bar and he was like, do you know who you're fucking with?
Monet X Change
Was it in Russia? These are shooting people in their legs.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I think it was in the. I would think it was in these United States of America. You know who the real Homelander is? Ezra Miller.
Monet X Change
Ezra Miller is very Homelander.
Bob the Drag Queen
He got into a bar fight with somebody in Spain, and he said, you don't know who you messed with. You don't know who I am and what you've done. Y'. All.
Monet X Change
Y' all gonna gag when laser beams just came out his eyes. He's a roasting.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, he's like. He's like, fx where, bitch? FX where, Honey?
Monet X Change
He just thought, spoiler alert.
Bob the Drag Queen
But when. Spoiler alert. But in the end of last season when he shot that guy. And Spoiler alert. All right, you had your time. When he shot that guy in the face at the end of the last season, I don't remember. And then people cheered. I was like, this is.
Monet X Change
He shot him with a gun, with
Bob the Drag Queen
his lasers, with his eyes. So what happened was the guy was like, you freak. And he threw a water bottle at his.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then Homelander was like, boom. And he just blew his head up in front of everyone, which is like the one. The one thing we were all counting on was the fact that Homelander won't go crazy in front of a crowd because of his public image. But then he went crazy in front of a crowd and said, fuck the public image. So we were like, well, then what. What power do we have now? And now he's alt, right? Now he's alt, right? Which makes it even scarier. Obviously, he was dating a. He was dating a literal Nazi.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
In season two.
Monet X Change
Well, the pro. This is my power. This is my problem. He's so over. He's op ed. He's op boots. Like, he's like.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's not any more overpowered than Superman or Omni man, but it's because he's a bad guy.
Monet X Change
Right? But. But people. That's the argument. Superman is. I mean, the only thing that can stop Superman is fucking kryptonite.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, who's actually really overpowered, but in a way that you wouldn't expect.
Monet X Change
Who?
Bob the Drag Queen
The Joker is overpowered.
Monet X Change
How is he overpowered in the realm
Bob the Drag Queen
that the Joker's fighting in? He's completely overpowered because he's fighting an opponent who literally cannot kill or his rule. He won't kill. As a rule. He won't kill. You know what I mean? And the Joker seems to have, like, this infinite level of wisdom and tactical skills, and he has no empathy. So I feel like because the Joker has no empathy or sympathy for anyone, he will turn on Harley Quinn. You can't use anyone as. You can't use leverage. You can't use people as leverage. Because he doesn't care about anyone. He doesn't even care about himself. He will put himself in harm's way. So in that regard, he's overpowered because there's. There's. He has no weakness except killing him. And no one can kill, and he won't.
Monet X Change
That's a hot take. I think that maybe. I think. Forgive me, Jacob may correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure in DC Smash Bro 5, that comic book, I think, like, someone from his past comes about, and we find the joke is one weakness. It's someone. The one person he really. He truly cares about.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's when you don't laugh at his jokes, honestly, that would kill me. I'd be like, I'm done, y'.
Monet X Change
All. We know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hang it up flat screen. Hang it up flat screen. Luckily, I've never had that problem.
Monet X Change
I used to come to Barracuda. I've seen it.
Bob the Drag Queen
First of all, I used to slay Barracuda, honey. S L E I. Yeah, kill it.
Monet X Change
Yeah, you killed it.
Unnamed Caller
All right.
Monet X Change
You killed it dead.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's take the next question.
Unnamed Caller
Ava Monet. So my boyfriend and I have been together for two years, and we live in New York. And recently he decided that he wants to do dragons. So now he's going to all of these different drag competitions throughout the city. And I love him very much, but it's also a lot. No shade. Some of these shows are just not very good. It's a lot of amateur drag queens, people who are just starting and figuring it out. I want to be supportive, but it is a lot to just go out to these shows. With him every night, three, four times a week. How do I be the best supportive drag boyfriend, but also not let it take over my life and have my own life? And how do I set boundaries? And what's a good boundary to set while still being supportive of my man slash woman?
Bob the Drag Queen
Is it my go?
Monet X Change
I don't know. But, you know, you can go.
Bob the Drag Queen
First of all, there are no drag boyfriends. There are only drag husbands. Even if you're not married, you're a drag husband. It's just kind of like the lingo. You're a drag husband, and it sounds like you just don't love drag, which is fine. There's nothing wrong with not because part of loving drag, for me, anyway, this is just for me. I'm actually really putting a lot of my own. I'm projecting here. But for me, part of loving drag is really loving when it's bad, when it's good, when it's amateur. I love an amateur drag show. When a drag show is bad, I am still having so much fucking fun. When a drag show is great, I am having so much fun, I can really enjoy some amateur drag. Some of my favorite drag is amateur night, actually. I got to say something about the. The. The desire to want to do it and just like the tenacity, even though it's just so uncoordinated and. And sloppy and the. And just obvious mistakes. Obvious mistakes that seem like. How. How do you not know that? I remember one time, this queen came in and her lashes were on upside down. No, not upside down, backwards. Now, putting your lashes on, your lashes supposed to go like this, but this would be upside down, where they go down like that, but she had them on backwards, meaning the. The. The free part was glued to her eye. Oh, in the.
Patrick
I.
Monet X Change
That person's just a fucking idiot. That person is just a fucking idiot.
Bob the Drag Queen
We were all like, how is your lash on? Back. Like, back. This is. I've seen a couple upside down lashes, but, like, backwards. This is crazy. But honestly, that was such a key, and it was so wild. And the thing about drag queens is all of us need assistance, because doing drag is hard. Just zipping yourself up is hard. You know what I mean? And especially these baby drag queens that they don't. They don't have the skill set to be independent yet. There are times where I used to. Where I would be getting in drag. I would go all the way to Barracuda from 106 street, and I wouldn't be zipped up until I got there, because I couldn't reach my zipper. I had to. I take the train all the way there with a jacket on, and then when I get there, be like, can you zip me up, please? This is crazy, you know what I mean? And maybe what your friend can do is just find another drag queen who wants to do it.
Monet X Change
Damn downgrade.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, but he said it was his boyfriend. No, I said, oh, your boyfriend's are your boy. Maybe your boyfriend can find a friend who wants to do drag as much as he does or. Because there are people who want to hang out with drag queens and go to the bars and get the free drinks and hang out in the back, hang on in the back, but they don't want to do drag. That was, that was Alfredo back in the day, girl who's now a drag. They. They used to become a drag queens way, way down the line. But there's, there's someone out there who will want to do that. That way you can still hang out and when you want to, but they'll have a friend there. There is someone out there who wants to hang out the clubs with them but doesn't want to get up in drags. What do you think, mom?
Monet X Change
Yeah, I think that you're not obligated to like drag as much as your boyfriend does and that's fine. I think that probably what since your boyfriend is just starting out, the comfort of having you, like, probably to train with them and having that built in comfortability because you guys share life together, that's probably what they're really clinging onto. And I do think there is some merit in finding a drag, another drag queen or another friend that's really into drag as much as they are. And. But I think a boundary, a healthy boundary to set is like, you know, babe, I cannot go out every night. I love you, but I do not love drag as much as you. I can commit to, like maybe commit to committing to coming to one show with you a week or maybe two, but going out like, also it is. These shows be late. These, they will. Queens will stretch an amateur night out to within an inch of his life. Right? The show starts at 10 o' clock to make, to make people stay there for the competition, to vote and stuff. Sometimes you're not leaving the bar until like 2 o' clock in the morning. And then I don't know if you have like a regular 9 to 5 job or whatever your job is, then the next day you're fucking exhausted because you have to keep your regular job. So I understand how exhausting that could be. So I think committing to. Or setting a boundary, like, I will commit to come to one or two, but I can't come every night. I love you, but I am not in love with drag as much as you are. I'm not a drag queen, but I love that you love this thing. So I want to support you the best I can. And what I can give right now is committing to. Every Thursday, I'm going to come out to see you at Star Search, and maybe you guys can find some other drag things to bond over, right? Watching drag race together or if your partner is trying to learn how to sew, too, maybe take taking a sewing class together or, like, watch YouTube videos and try to learn.
Bethany
Maybe.
Monet X Change
Maybe you might love sewing too. There are other aspects of drag that you can involve yourself that don't require you going out with your partner all the time and that you can engage them in. Maybe they want to start YouTube content, help them film the videos, edit. I don't know. Different things.
Bob the Drag Queen
Having a partner that can contribute to your drag is top tier, I'm telling y'. All. Having a boyfriend or drag husband who styles wigs, who takes.
Monet X Change
I can't compromise who.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who makes costumes. When I tell you this shit is thoroughly good, I cannot recommend it enough. I really can't recommend it enough. Husbands who. Drag husbands start making jewelry. They just. They have a skill that contributes to the machine, and it is really a way to bond now. It is always some type of way to be annoyed as hell with each other, too.
Monet X Change
You know what I mean? But especially that's not my experience, if
Bob the Drag Queen
the drag becomes part of how you're paying your bills. Really? Especially if the drag becomes part of how you're paying your bills. And you're like, well, baby, this is keeping our. Keeping the roof over our head. You know what I mean? This is putting food on the table. So let's find a way together to contribute to this thing that we're both benefiting from. Yeah, but that's also. I mean, me and Jacob live together, and we are, like, have been partners for six years. Yeah, it'll be six in December.
Monet X Change
Yeah, it's not six yet. Calm down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did you do your left eyebrow?
Monet X Change
Yeah, no, I. I just did this one. I kind of stopped it because I couldn't. I can't.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought about, you know.
Monet X Change
You know, you know, I'm sensitive about that. You're gonna bring that up right now.
Bob the Drag Queen
You really about doing one eyebrow?
Monet X Change
You know that I'm sensitive about that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Specific about your left eyebrow. I think I Have my eyebrows microbladed. But I think I would look so crazy with eyebrows. Like, if I. If I have eyebrows the size of yours on my head, that would look crazy. Cause by the way, guys, when I tell you guys, I can't grow eyebrows, this is me. I have not shaved my eyebrows in months. So this is literally. This is the fullest my eyebrows can grow. And this is not from shaving them. This is. This is just all I have to offer. I'm gonna get as close as I can. This is. This is my eyebrows at full bushiness. That is all I have to offer to the world, y'.
Unnamed Caller
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
And people think it's crazy that I. That I don't really grow eyebrows. And I'm like, I've just never really. I've never really had them. Never really had them. But when I was a hair removal. No, I just. I just don't really grow eyebrows. When I was on Drag Race, I was not shaving my eyebrows, and I had never shaved. I had never shaved my eyebrows until I got off track. Drag Race. So what you're seeing on Drag Race, that is. That is 29 years of growing my eyebrows and never doing anything to them besides just doing makeup over them.
Monet X Change
Damn. Damn, Gina.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think I would look weird with eyebrows because I'm just so used to not seeing myself with them.
Monet X Change
But you do. You had those lace front ones you were doing for a while, so that's what it looked like.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I wasn't doing lace front. I wasn't.
Monet X Change
Didn't you have lace front eyebrows for a second, like, for Mr. Lies?
Bob the Drag Queen
I had these lace eyebrows in the home that I was going to start doing for drag, but I never actually put them on my face. I just had them, but I never. They were just pinned to. I think you just kept seeing them pinned to this one wig head. But I never actually put them on, though.
Monet X Change
Oh, okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I kind of do want a drag lace brow, though, like plastique. But hers look like human brows. I want them like. Like. Like my. You know how my drag brows are. Like, they're like that big.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I wish. Going to some pictures, some of your pictures with someone the other day, because I was really, really tickled about you when you being like, you ever look at Trixie Maker? This is crazy. I was like. I was like. I was like, bob has some nerve. And I was going through your pictures, Bob. At some points, your eyes. Your makeup is bigger than Trixie's.
Bob the Drag Queen
When I would love to see one of these pictures. Were you going through on my Facebook, on my Instagram.

Monet X Change
It's pretty big, Bob. This is bigger than 1000% bigger than Trixie's makeup for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
No bigger than this craziness.
Monet X Change

One of my favorite things is doing anything with Peppermint. And just first of all, she had these fucking goddess curtains behind her. She's creating. She has a fan creating wind in front of her. Peppermint's entire setup is just.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is it.

Ah. Now, Pep is acquainted technology. If you all want to see me and Pep's podcast, which is called Black Queer. I mean, Town hall of Black Queer Podcast, it is available on YouTube page where we have. It's a community based podcast. So it's not just me and Pep talking. It's not quite like.

And we have some really fun episodes. We've done two seasons now, so go check us out at. @Blackcourt Town hall dot org.
Monet X Change

Monet X Change
Wow. So you get. So you get Town hall, you know, Interesting. Good to know.
Bob the Drag Queen
We should also. Well, it's also having so many guests. It's hard to, like, not have that structure. We should also have Ocean Kelly on the pod. We have so many. You have so many people up here.
Monet X Change
I love Ocean Kelly.
Bob the Drag Queen
Intimidating. You skirt. Why why do you.
Monet X Change
Why do you like to put. Why do you like to pit black queer people against each other? Why do you do that? Just.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just curious, Kelly.
Monet X Change
Just curious. Just curious why you like to pit black queer artists against each other?
Bob the Drag Queen
It's you.
Monet X Change
You're sick.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's specifically you.
Monet X Change
Get well soon, bitch. You're sick.
Bob the Drag Queen
Specifically. Specifically, you.
Monet X Change
Get well soon, whore.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I will put you against anyone, honey, because I want everyone to see the. The real Monet McGoy. The real Monet.
Monet X Change
You know, can I just tell you, I miss the days of, like, when you want your parents will, like, schedule all your things, like, your doctor's appointment. Like, having to do that as an adult is so annoying. It's so annoying. I hate it. I haven't scheduled because, you know, it's that time to, like, toward the end of the day, I do all my checkups. I do it twice a year in the spring and in the winter. It's just so annoying.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know how to respond to that.
Monet X Change
I just hate it. I just thought. I was like, we're ending this. I was like, I have a doctor thing at three, and I have another thing with the cardiologist at four, and I'm like, I should go to the doctor again, right? I should.
Bob the Drag Queen
I spent years not going to the doctor or paying taxes.
Monet X Change
And how did that work out for you?
Bob the Drag Queen
My teeth fell out and I ended up owing several years in back taxes. You have any other questions? What you're not getting is that I had a long break of not having to do it.
Monet X Change
Dental hygiene. Honestly, it really.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Monet X Change
Because I'm getting older, you're gonna think I'm doing a bit. I mean, extra. I really find it very sexy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you have, like, a dentist kink or something?
Monet X Change
I don't know. When I hear, like, so, like. Like seeing someone, like, floss or, like, no. Like to go taking, like, taking care of the teeth. I find that to be sexy. I don't know what kind of. What is that called? Is that some type of sexual. Am I an orthosexual?
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe. Maybe you're into, like, teeth and stuff. Maybe you kind of get a bit out of seeing people, like, pick their teeth and. And wiggle with their teeth and stuff.
Monet X Change
I am into hands. That's a very big thing. Hands are very important to me. When I.
Bob the Drag Queen
Things that I. I found out things that I'm attracted to or that I was like, oh, that. That did something for me, like, out of nowhere. And I was like, oh, I did not expect this to do something for me, but it really. It really did something.
Monet X Change
Can you give us a little peek behind the curtain? What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I went to a Sailor Moon party and I was like, oh, seeing, like, faggy guys dressed like Sailor Moon is great.
Unnamed Caller
Great.
Bob the Drag Queen
Seeing faggy guys dress like Sailor Moon is delicious or wonderful. Can't hand. Can't recommend it enough.
Monet X Change
Hands are a big thing too. Hands are really. But that. That's always been a thing for me. Hands have always been a turn on for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Also, not wearing deodorant and, like, smelling someone's armpits is nice.
Monet X Change
I'm into armpits too. But it's a fine line between just normal, like, straight from the gym and full funk. I don't want funk, but I like a little. I just came from the gym and I smelled a little. I've been working out, but I don't want you to. I don't want to smell like BO like onions. I think that's nasty. But a nice little. I think it's hot.
Bob the Drag Queen
I like. I like funk. I like. I like B.O. i like funky.
Monet X Change
Like you smell like onions. Like you smell musty. You think that's sexy?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, a little bit.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
What I. What I don't find sexy is like smelling deodorant in your armpits. That is not how I mean.
Monet X Change
Smelling clean is always a yes, but a little. I think it's sexy too, but not funky. I can't do funky.
Bob the Drag Queen
What about deodorant? What about in the.
Monet X Change
Between me down there?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think that's smelling de. I don't think having deodorant in your armpits equates to smelling clean. I think that it's actually more clean to have nothing in your armpits than it is to have deodorant in your armpits.
Monet X Change
Well, to each his own. That's to you, bitch. I find that to be clean.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, like, what is then what is? How do you define what is clean? Clean?
Monet X Change
Like, I used to smell like you were fresh out of the shower and there's like a little in there, a little deodorant. That's clean. I think. I think that's sexy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, I'm not telling you to not find it sexy. I'm just. I'm just saying. I'm not trying to get you to not find what you're saying. I'm just literally just stating my. Stating my case. And I'm saying is I don't, like, I don't understand why it's like, I don't get how if you get out of the shower and you scrub your body and you have like a little bit of smell on you, you are still clean. You just got out of the shower. Like, you're literally clean. Yeah.
Monet X Change
And having deodorant is also clean. Yeah, I think, I think adding the deodorant too, that's. I think that's hot too. But what about the. Between me down there? Like, also. I mean, I don't. That I don't think people should be. I mean, I'm not into products down there, but if there's like a little. I just came from the gym, I can get into that. But if it's like musty, like you've been sweating and it's like it's been sitting there, I can't get into that. But a little. I worked out about an hour ago and I haven't showered yet. I think that's hot.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't like the smell of soap down there. I find that unattractive smell like, like smelling like some sort of a soap on your crotch to me is unsexy. Personally.
Monet X Change
Interesting.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not going to like kick you out of bed if you have deodorant on or if you have soap on your crotch. But I also like, but, but I just don't. I don't like. I'm not necessarily interested in like you showering right before I got there. I would love to have somehow just. If you just would have already showered earlier today. And like, if we're like, if we're at the club together and we're dancing all night long and we go home, I'm gonna suck your dick immediately. I'm not gonna tell you to shower if we're just doing mouth stuff. I will be. Even if I know you are sweaty, I will be sucking your dick. Eh. Or eating your pussy immediately.
Monet X Change
Well, that's always the case because some guys with foreskin, they have to like. It just gets build up on there and they have to shower or else you're gonna be having. You may be having a little smegma with your dick sucking or it might be like a little.
Bob the Drag Queen
It depends on like wiggling a little bit of. I mean, trigger warning everyone here, but like wiggling out a little bit of running water over your dick to get the dick cheese out is not the same as like scrubbing yourself with soap and water.
Monet X Change
Yeah, for sure. But I'm just saying some people have to give a little. Give it a little rinse because of, you know, foreskin whatever. Which did you hear versus soap and
Bob the Drag Queen
water wash is two different things, you know?
Monet X Change
Yeah. There's this new thing of fucking of guys trying to get their foreskin back. So they're doing this surgery now where they do an incision and they put this thing to like pull your skin down to make it more like to give you like a little hood. Have you heard about this?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Um, my.
Bob the Drag Queen
My. My ex roommate used to really be into trying to get his foreskin back. It was like a. It was like a whole journey.
Monet X Change
Did he get the surgery?
Bob the Drag Queen
It was like a weighted thing back then, but I don't think. I don't know if he ever actually got around to doing. But he was really into like, I would like to get my foreskin back. And like I'm mad that I feel like I was like robbed of my foreskin without my permission and I would like to have foreskin.
Monet X Change
Bitch. There is nothing like a big nasty uncut dick. Ooh, I don't know. Like just like a big heavy hefty dick that's uncut.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what's really pretty in a pussy? What's really pretty in a pussy is if your legs are closed.
Monet X Change
Uh huh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right. Like your knees are together.
Bethany
Uh huh.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you have like a, like big pussy lips. You can see the. From through the legs. Making sense.
Monet X Change
Like so do they have a little thigh gap? Or it's like. Or the, or the. Or the vulva is like spilling out from. From even the. The legs touching.
Bob the Drag Queen
The legs are touching? Yes. Legs are touching, yes.
Monet X Change
Like by the crotch or you mean just the knees? Like the legs are touching by the crotch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Knees are touching. Like, like you're like you, you. There's. All you. All you see is like thighs and like. So are you looking at this from the front or the back? I'm looking. So I'm facing you. We're facing each other. Right. But now you're laying down. So you're looking at the ceiling. I'm looking at your knees. And then you lift their knees up and their legs are good. So you're. So that you're seeing like ankles.
Unnamed Caller
Oh.
Monet X Change
So you're underneath a little bit. Got it, got it, got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Basically from the back. Basically. Yeah.
Monet X Change
Got it. Yeah. I mean.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
I think that's hot. I mean, I mean I think that's the penises.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it's really pretty with penises. Although it's. I wouldn't want to like put this. Not that I wouldn't, but like it's not the optimal to like, engage with. But if it's, like, curving in the direction of your leg. If it, like, is on your leg, a slight curve.
Shannon Maldonado
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Yes, yes. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, like, it's stuck to the leg. What? Like it is curved onto the leg, like, in the shape of your thigh. Yeah, yeah. But the best one for sucking is curved. Yeah, that is. That is the.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah. Curved down, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
You. I. I'm.
Monet X Change
I'm going all night, honey. Just.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah. So easy. And a belly slapper. A belly slapper is cute, but it's not easy to. Because if you try to suck a Bella stuff, you'd be like, God damn, girl.
Monet X Change
But then. But. But then.
Bob the Drag Queen
But.
Monet X Change
But then you're. You're forced. You're forced to 69 it, because then that's the best way to make it curve down, basically, which I don't. I'm not opposed to. Oh, sucking the dick while somebody's eating your ass is everything. Sucking a dick while your ass is being ate is everything. Everything. Also getting your dick. Getting my dick sucked from the back, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cut back, bitch. The last five minutes, this podcast got incredibly graphic. Now I'm gonna eat my Kim Sit from the trash. Good night, everyone. I feel like we talked about that in the last episode, so they have no context for that. Wait, quick shout out to. He talked about the KFC on the last episode, so people have got people at the gym. Quick shout out. By the way, I just want to do a quick shout out to anyone wearing a blue hoodie right now. Shout out to everyone wearing a blue hoodie as you listen to this right now.
Monet X Change
Goodbye. That's no one, by the way. And y'.
Ava
All.
Monet X Change
But the chicken. Bob. Bob had some chicken sent out his. That he ate. He. He thought he fools full. He put it outside his door. And in the last podcast, he was like, I think I want that chicken back. So he went to go and get the chicken, and it was still there, and he's going to eat it now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Doesn't it look like the Colonel. The Colonel's bolo tie? Doesn't it look like a little stick body?
Monet X Change
TikTok taught us that. You ain't learned that. TikTok taught you that, so stop it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't say I made it up. I never said I made it up. Monat, damn, you are such a hater. You are like the definition of a hater. It's kind of like, embarrassing, actually. Like, how excited you were to try to embarrass me. Like, you were, like, salivating, foaming at the mouth, at the attempt, the sad attempt.
Monet X Change
Why do you always have to. And why do you always have to animalize me? Foaming at the mouth, Big, stupid little St. Bernard. What is it? What is your issue?
Bob the Drag Queen
No matter how many pegs you take me down, I will never be on your level, honey. You can take every wrong out of the ladder. I will never make it down to your level, honey. And on that note, thanks for coming on. Hey, get the fuck out of here.
Monet X Change
Goodbye.

Hosts: Bob the Drag Queen & Monét X Change
In this advice-centered episode of Sibling Rivalry, Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change tackle questions from listeners about drag show etiquette, supporting a drag-performing partner, and standing up for oneself in uncomfortable or hostile situations—especially at work. As always, their responses are peppered with personal anecdotes, hilarious banter, explicit realness, and iconic shade. The duo also veers into pop culture commentary, personal quirks, and lively debates on hygiene and attraction.
On tip etiquette:
“Do not play with this motherfucking money in front of this girl, okay? Don't try to be cute...especially for a motherfucking dollar. Now, if you have a $20 bill, you can give me a little dance.”
— Monét X Change ([11:30])
On boundaries in drag relationships:
“I do not love drag as much as you...I'm not a drag queen, but I love that you love this thing. So I want to support you the best I can.”
— Monét X Change ([50:11])
On speaking up:
“People who are racist hate being called out on their racist behavior...when they're called out, they were like, ‘What do you mean?’”
— Monét X Change ([28:28])
Bob’s jaw-dropping tip story:
"I ball it up, I swallow it, and I chug it down with water. I said, now no one has a hundred dollars, bitch."
– Bob the Drag Queen ([13:32])
On attraction and hygiene:
“I really find it very sexy…like seeing someone, like, floss or, like, just taking care of their teeth.”
– Monét X Change ([62:03])
On drag performance support:
“Having a partner that can contribute to your drag is top tier, I'm telling y’all. A boyfriend…who styles wigs, who makes costumes, who…They have a skill that contributes to the machine…”
– Bob the Drag Queen ([51:44])
The episode is classic Sibling Rivalry: uproariously funny, at times explicit, always unfiltered, and full of mutual roasting, big personalities, and supportive wisdom. Both Bob and Monét blend practical advice with vivid personal storytelling, never shying away from NSFW details or hard truths about drag, relationships, or queer life.
Listeners come away with practical, experience-based advice on drag show etiquette, supporting a partner in drag without losing themselves, and strategies for speaking up in tense professional situations. Meanwhile, Bob and Monét keep things real (and raunchy), reminding the audience that family—chosen or otherwise—means supporting each other's quirks, boundaries, and growth, preferably with a side of shade and a lot of laughter.
