Bob the Drag Queen & Monét X Change — Sept 5, 2022

---

Episode Overview

In this episode of Sibling Watchery, Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change give their signature comedic and candid breakdown of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 7, Episode 5. The main focus of the episode is the “Draguation Speeches” challenge, where All Stars are tasked with delivering comedic and inspiring graduation-style speeches. Bob and Monét analyze the performances, runway looks (themed “Veiled It!”), and lip sync, sharing both behind-the-scenes insights and their delightfully tangential banter.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Banter: Shirtless Pods, OnlyFans, and Sibling Synergy

• The episode starts with trademark Sibling Rivalry chemistry, as they discuss podcasting shirtless and their private lives.
  • Bob: “I wanted to do a shirtless pod, but Monet does not want to do it.” (00:05)
  • Monét: “I think I’m starting an OnlyFans…On my 38th birthday I’m gonna open it.” (00:48)
• The conversation moves to mishaps with OnlyFans sign-ups, personal Twitter accounts, and accidental exposure: “For the first two, three people I signed up, they were like, Bob. Hey, hey Bob. I was like, yo, I don’t need y’all in my business like this.” (01:58)
• They riff about their uncanny habit of dressing similarly, “That’s completely coincidental. Isn’t that crazy? Like, it’s crazy. I was like, the synergy is synergizing.” (02:32)

2. Mukbangs & Social Media (BootyTok and DickTok)

• Food delivery timing jokes give way to TikTok rabbit holes (“I’m on booty TikTok because I love booties…” - Bob, 03:09; “I’m on dick Tok.” - Monét, 03:15).
• Commentary on how TikTok and social media trends shape drag and queer culture.

3. The Draguation Speech Challenge — Emotional Stakes & Game Strategy

• Blocked Queens Drama: Monet’s tissue-on-shoe moment, and the emotional response to being blocked.
  • Monét: “I did not. I swear I did not intentionally put that on my shoe…I was very upset that I was blocked. I was offended. I took it personally.” (03:54)
  • Bob: “Why, after blocking you, did Viv announce she was also thinking about blocking someone else?” (04:38)
• Strategic Choices:
  • Monet, given power as the previous week’s “blocked queen,” picks the speech order strategically: “Yes. I was completely strategic in how I did it…The only person that got preferential treatment…was Trinity, because of our alliance.” (08:55)
  • Purposefully putting Viv after Jinkx to up the challenge.

4. Sewing Room Antics & Runway Looks

• Commentary about Trinity’s last-minute sewing: “She didn’t come with her cap and gown look. She made her cap and gown look there.” (09:55)
• Mo Heart’s music, flying economy vs. first class, and petty debates about gardening and cows in Columbus, Georgia—a classic Sibling Rivalry tangent that brings both warmth and hilarity. (“There are at least two cows that we know live in Columbus.” - Bob, 44:53)

5. The Workroom: Chaos, Noise, & Drag-Queen Field Trips (15:39–19:30)

• The queens discuss working amid chaos. Monét can work through noise: “Noise doesn’t bother me to sleep. Noise doesn’t bother me to concentrate.” (16:20)
• Bob and Monét go off about school field trips and fabricated stories about magical Ms. Frizzle journeys (18:09).

6. The Challenge: Performance Analysis and Noteworthy Speeches

• Bob reads Monét’s full 'Draguation' speech aloud (22:41–25:25), peppered with jokes about “taking your fist” and “sniff some poppers.”
  • Notable Monét quote: “So what? You’re loud. So what? You stutter. So what? You’re poor. So what? You’re queer. So what? You’re Black. When life is giving it to you hard, grit your teeth, sniff some poppers, and you take it.” (24:45)
• The importance of balancing comedy and sincerity: “They were really heavy on—it needs to be funny, but also really inspirational.” (26:13)
• Discussion of speech order and its impact (“I love opening up and setting the tone, because if someone before you has a shit tone, you have to recover.” – Bob, 27:52)
• Performance-by-Performance Review:
  • Shea Couleé: “Shay’s was really good…Very well written.”
  • Raja: Praised for her quirky character and “I’m aware of your presence.”
  • Jada Essence Hall: “Always funnier than I remember her being…she leans into things going off-script.” (31:18)
  • Yvie Oddly: “Did her speech from the dome—impressive.” (32:19)
  • Jinkx Monsoon: Critique for not sticking to the “witch” theme but praised for narrative callbacks.
  • The Vivienne: Lauded for comedic performance and character commitment; “my favorite of the night.” (37:30)

7. Runway: “Veiled It!” Looks

• Rapid-fire reviews and reactions to each queen’s Veiled It! look, with Bob and Monét trading playful barbs and fashion analysis.
  • Shea’s editorial “gardening” look: “I would never think this had anything to do with graduation…But it’s a really nice garment.” (39:32)
  • Trinity’s red ensemble: “This is the best veil on the Runway.” (45:26)
  • Raja’s magazine cover: “I’ve never seen anything like this on the Runway before.” (46:43)
  • Yvie’s Burning Man extravaganza: “She looks like the fiercest girl at Burning Man.” (47:50)
  • Jinkx’s butterfly silhouette and Vivienne's belt-laden look: met with confusion or critiques.
  • Jada’s fully covered look: “We don’t know who’s under this thing.” (47:16)

8. The Lip Sync: Honest (and Brutal) Feedback

• Lip sync performed by Raja and Jinkx to “Better in Color” by Lizzo is panned by both:
  • Monét: “It was not a good lip sync. Raj didn’t really know the words, and Jinkx is just not a good lip syncer. It was really a little painful to watch. No shade.” (51:24)
  • They note that Yvie Oddly, seated, gave the best lip sync reaction during the performance (52:59).
• The Vivienne gets blocked by Jinkx in dramatic irony (“She won’t get the chance [to block me].” … “Within the same episode, the lie detector determined that was a lie.” – Bob, 05:20 & 53:31).

[A]

Yeah, I wanted to do a shirtless pod, but Monet does not want to do it.

[C]

No.

I said I want us together. Solidarity.

[D]

But I said no, so you can do it by yourself.

[A]

I know. I'm just recounting what you said. All I said. All I said was money. I went through the shirtless pop. When they said no.

[C]

I didn't say. I didn't ask.

[A]

Okay. I would like.

[D]

I would like you to be shirtless on this podcast. Can you do that for me?

[C]

I'll do it when we're both together.

[A]

At one point, we'll both do our shirtless pod.

[C]

Let's do one in our underwear.

[D]

I'm in my underwear.

[B]

Me, too.

[C]

I'm actually not wearing fans.

[D]

Y' all just have to find out. I'm gonna. On my. On my 38th birthday, I'm gonna post. I'm gonna open my OnlyFans.

[C]

How old are you?

[D]

33,

[A]

bitch. You think we're gonna be checking out in five years?

[B]

Yes. That's what Bhad Bhabie did.

[A]

We want. We want instant gratification. Instant. No, damn instant. We want it now. I know what I want, and I want it now.

[C]

Roberto.

[A]

I have a secret only fan. I have a secret only fans. Because, you know, you sign up for

[C]

only fans through your Twitter account, and

[A]

then it makes your account your thing. So for a second, I have a false one. They'd be like, bob.

[B]

Oh, no.

[D]

Really?

[B]

Mine? I don't think mine ever did that. I did it, like, through the website.

[D]

I never did it through Twitter.

[A]

I signed up. Cause, you know, you go to where they sign up through Google, so basically you don't have to make up a new password.

[C]

So I just click sign up through

[A]

Twitter and, girl, for the first two, three people I signed up, they were like, Bob. Hey, hey, Bob. I was like, yo, I don't need y' all in my business like this.

[B]

I can't.

[A]

So I had to make a little.

[C]

A little super celebrity Twitter. Super celebrity Drag Race Twitter.

[D]

I mean, OnlyFans.

[A]

Now.

[C]

I was making a joke about a super secret celebrity.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Who are you rooting for on Super Secret Celebrity?

[A]

Oh, by the way, do you all keep accidentally dressing in the same look every week? Is this, like, coincidental?

[B]

That is completely coincidental. That's the. Isn't that crazy? Like, it's crazy. I was like, the synergy is synergizing.

[D]

What'd you have, a breakfast?

[B]

What are you rooting for?

[A]

I had Taco Bell and you had tuna.

[D]

Oh, how'd you know that?

[B]

Did I tell you that?

[C]

Oh, my God.

[D]

We're so synergistic.

[C]

Well, I wanted to do a mukbang with Monet. My food showed up right when Monet. Like, as.

[A]

As we were sitting down, it was like, knock, knock, Your food's here.

[B]

And then I was like. I was like, you know What? Let's take 15 because we don't want a recount of the last time I'm

[A]

on booty TikTok because I love booties.

[C]

Like, big and low.

[A]

I do like low booties. I also like big booties.

[C]

Slim.

[A]

Slim, thicks.

[D]

I'm on dick talk.

[C]

I haven't been on dick tock in a very long time. I think a lot of the dick talkers got banned. You can't really, you know, like, a lot of them are getting shut down, but.

[D]

Yeah, but you can just throw their asses around, work.

[A]

Well, their ass are completely covered.

[C]

They're just moving them around.

[B]

Their dick is completely covered.

[D]

They're just moving them around.

[A]

But butts tend to be more acceptable in clothing than a vpl. But we are not here to discuss.

[C]

This is not something rivalry.

[A]

We are here to discuss the graduation. The.

[C]

Sorry.

[A]

The draguation speeches. So Monet comes in. Did you intentionally put that tissue on your shoe?

[B]

I did not. I swear I did not. I did not intentionally put that on my shoe. I literally had no idea it was there. But because people think I was. I was not doing a thing. I was very upset that I was blocked. I was offended. I took it personally.

[A]

Well, I. I can imagine. I mean, I think everyone. Yeah, that's pretty clear.

[C]

I mean, I think Trinity was the

[A]

most upset about being blocked throughout the season.

[C]

I can't remember yet. Maybe Trinity. Maybe Viv got pretty bad when she got blocked, too. But Trinity was.

[B]

Viv was mad.

[D]

Viv was mad when she was blocked, upset.

[A]

But I was like, monet's doing a thing. Monet put that tissue paper on her

[C]

shoe to do a thing.

[D]

No, it really happened that way.

[B]

And I think, like, I think they told me right before I walked in, but I was just like, we'll Leave it there. But I did not, like, put it there.

[A]

Okay. I just don't understand why, after discussing

[C]

a block, why Viv, after blocking you,

[A]

why she decided to announce to the

[C]

room that she was also thinking about.

[A]

But, like, just so you know. Right. Might. No, I'm kidding. She's like. And I was going to block one other. One other person bought. She was not for. She wasn't eligible. That's not.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's not a Liverpoolian accent. It's not a Scouse accent.

[B]

She'll be like, girl, you know, I was gonna block someone else, but she wasn't up for elimination. And I think now she's Irish. I know. I don't know. I got.

[D]

I got very blue hydrangea.

[A]

Like, like, why of all. Why was she. And then also, you. You. You and Trinity were like, well, are you gonna.

[C]

Are you gonna.

[A]

Like, what if she blocks you now and she's like, she won't get the chance. Well, that didn't age well. Bitch. Within the same episode, the lie detector determined that was a lie.

[B]

Well, I think that what it is is that, like, British folk, like, we are just innately truthful.

[D]

Like, we're very honest. I think the Viv just wants to be very forthcoming about how she feels about the blocking, and I think that's what it is.

[B]

And also. But no, to be honest, I think Viv is just very green when it comes to Not Drag Race. Obviously, she did a whole season.

[D]

She won.

[B]

But I think the Viv is just like. She's trying to play a really honest game and be like, I want to block someone else, but. And I don't know, I just think

[D]

the Viv is just being very honest.

[A]

Yeah, that's clear. I just don't understand why.

[B]

Because she didn't.

[A]

That's what I can't.

[B]

She probably thought she would never end up in the. Like, she probably genuinely thought that Jinx would never have a chance to block

[D]

her because she was like, oh, from

[B]

this point on, I'm riding high, birds flying high. You know how I feel? She was like, she would never have the chance.

[D]

And then she gagged.

[A]

She thought.

[C]

She thought she'd better been to LA Cram being the top of her week, probably.

[B]

I think so. Viv is also. Viv is very talented, and she's very

[D]

sure of her talents.

[B]

Rightfully show. She is. So. Yeah, no, she.

[A]

Of course she is. But the difference between Viv on All

[C]

Stars whatever and All Star seven and Ben Lam, the competition is different. You know, I mean, Viv is Competing against all winners. And Ben was competing against a bunch of fucking losers.

[D]

Oh, my God, you are so ridiculous.

[C]

No, I'm kidding.

[B]

Oh, my God. Bibi called me. Like, I need to call her back.

[A]

Yes, abs. Oh, if you do not call back Bibi, you will be on her no good list.

[C]

Absolutely.

[A]

RuPaul is really. RuPaul is wearing a blazer vest, some elbow length gloves, opera gloves, gold lame harem pants. The glasses and glasses and some rain boots. This look is. I'm kind of livid, but I'm kind

[C]

of like, what is going on?

[B]

Did you see the meme when this first came out? People were taking a picture of that, of. Of us reacting to Ru and they were like, wow.

[D]

The real acting challenge of All Stars seventh.

[B]

Cause he came and we were all like, work.

[C]

So there's no mini challenge this week

[B]

at all, which you love. You hate mini challenges. Papa's like, so I don't like the fucking mini challenges. They just take up space.

[A]

Well, yeah, that's true.

[C]

Some of them.

[A]

I don't like some of them every once in a while. I like the reading challenge. I like the puppet challenge. I like the mainstays. But I don't like when. When you have to like walk an egg on a spoon across.

[D]

I don't.

[E]

I like.

[A]

I like when they. I like when they hump the. When they pop the balloons.

[B]

I love that we're gonna get to the episode.

[D]

I was very upset about that when we would get there at episode eight, but I was very upset.

[C]

I guess we'll find out when we get to the episode.

[A]

But anyway, so instead of no man challenger, RuPaul just decides that Monet gets to.

[C]

Because Monet is blocked, she gets to decide the order of the show.

[A]

And were you being. Because Viv thinks you put her last

[C]

because she blocked you.

[A]

Is that true?

[B]

Oh, yes. I was completely strategic in how I did it. The only person that got preferential treatment from me.

[D]

When was Trinity, because of our alliance

[B]

and everyone else was.

[D]

I strategically put them where they were 1000%.

[B]

1000.

[C]

What was the point of putting Jinx? What was the point of putting Jinx second on last?

[A]

Was it to fuck Viv over?

[B]

Yeah, I put Viv after Jinx.

[D]

Cause I knew that Jinx would be strong.

[B]

So I wanted Jinx's. I wanted Jinx it really.

[D]

Well, that would overshadow Viv. Like, if Vivian did anything less than good or like.

[B]

Well, it would have fucked her up

[D]

with the judges, with the judging, just

[C]

to sabotage the Viv.

[B]

Well, not just her other people, too. Like, who else I put. And then.

[F]

And then.

[B]

But Viv and Jinx, I kind of worked together. Cause I thought that if Jinx didn't do well, Viv would have been so fucking good. It would have made Jinx's performance look bad too. So I strategically put everyone that way.

[C]

Okay, and what the hell was Trinity sewing like?

[A]

This is not a sewing challenge. Why is this bitch sewing? She didn't come up and she's.

[B]

She didn't come with her cap and gown look. She made her cap and gown look there.

[D]

Everyone else came with theirs. She made hers in the workroom.

[A]

The Mo heart of this season.

[B]

The only difference is Trinity is a really good steam.

[D]

Trinity. Trinity can really.

[B]

That's not shade, Bob. Put your fucking. Pop your eyes back in the. Back into your fucking skull. Trinity is a very good. Like, Trinity can make like, Like Trinity's really good. As we can see in the construction channel.

[C]

What about Mo?

[B]

I would say Mohart is a decent. Monique doesn't call herself a seamstress.

[D]

She can sew adequately, but she's not a seamstress.

[C]

I'm being silly.

[A]

I will say this.

[C]

On this last flight to New Jersey,

[A]

I listened to both of Mohart's albums.

[C]

They are very good.

[A]

Mohart is a great musician. They're a little Jesusy. They are a little heavy on the religion.

[C]

For me.

[B]

It's almost like aa.

[A]

That being.

[D]

I'm kidding.

[A]

That AA is not religious.

[B]

AA is not religious.

[D]

I know.

[B]

I'm kidding.

[D]

I know.

[A]

But this is. It is. It is very Jesusy music. But I also like gospel music. And if you all have not listened to Moharts 2, she has an EP and an album. I really recommend it.

[C]

They are very, very good.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Monique's a great singer.

[B]

Did you Pat? I wish I could find a show to you.

[D]

There is this meme of this designer.

[B]

And they were flying from New York to LA to sew a garment. This motherfucker pulls. He takes out his sewing, which he's sitting in main cabin. You know how they have two seats, three seats in the middle, two seats on the side. He's in the. Three in the middle. In the middle seat. He pulls out his sewing machine, takes out his fucking tray, and is sewing a garment in the plane in his seat. And the people around him are like, like, so irritated. I'm like, that is the kind of devotion I want from my designers. This motherfucker is sewing a gown. Bob on the plane. This is a real video.

[D]

I need to find it to show You.

[B]

I was gagged.

[C]

You knew who that is?

[B]

Girl, girl, girl,

[C]

Girl.

[D]

Anyway, okay.

[A]

By the way, you know, I don't know that I. I might never fly first class ever again. I might never fly first class again.

[D]

Why?

[C]

Girl?

[A]

I flew main cabin back to la. I was so comfortable. I was.

[B]

I was so more comfortable than first class.

[A]

Yeah. Okay, first of all, there was no one back there. I had an entire road to myself. I had more space back there than I would have had in first class. Bitch, I had a whole. There was a whole row. Do you know how much a first class ticket was?

[D]

How much?

[A]

$4,300. What? Do you know how much from Newark to LA. From Newark to LA. Do you know how much a main cabin ticket was?

[D]

How much?

[A]

$430. Bitch, I saved practically $4,000. $3,900.

[B]

But also, you're forgetting this. You also, the chances are that every time you fly there will be no

[D]

one next to you are slim to none.

[B]

And B, if I have flown back there before, when I tell you, if you get on a busy flight, your 6 foot 2 ass will feel like a goddamn. I don't even know what you will. You'll be sitting. Because also when you're in the last one, your seat can't go back, but everyone else's can. So. So everyone else is reclining and you're just sitting there like you cannot breathe. It has been. And also, I have bad knees.

[A]

Also, if you're in the first seat, you don't have the. If you're in seat one, you don't have that under, under the chair.

[C]

Leg room.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And you have to put your bags up. You can't put your bags under the chair in front of you. And I mean, I. I once flew first. I once flew main cabin all the way to Australia for 36 hours.

[B]

That was like, I. Bitch, they got me too.

[D]

On my first ever trip to Australia

[A]

and I, you know, and I made it and I was like, you know what? I'm here. But I'm going to my brother's wedding in October and I'm gonna.

[C]

I'm not wasting money on a first class ticket. I'm just gonna get a main cabin ticket.

[D]

Work.

[B]

But also, when you go, I'm the

[C]

Bernie Sanders of drag.

[B]

I like to see it. I wanna. We want, we want, we want, we want. We want documented ocular proof of you flying main cabin to Justin's wedding.

[D]

We want to see it.

[C]

We want to see the receipt.

[A]

I still have my ticket. Me and 374 Z.

[B]

Not that one. We want to see the one to Atlanta to go to Justin's wedding.

[D]

That's the one we want to see. That's what we want to see.

[C]

We'll see.

[A]

Now let's go back to.

[B]

Sorry.

[C]

We are talking about RuPaul's Drag Race all Stars. Oh, shit.

[B]

Now my camera's all blurry.

[D]

Hold on.

Wait, is that a real thing?

[C]

No, it's just one person said it.

[A]

Also, do not Monet.

[C]

If Monet wants titties, she can afford them.

[A]

Do not buy Monet no titties.

[B]

Mind the fucking best.

[A]

If Mo wants titties, y'. All save y' all money for what you need. Save y' all get someone else. Gender affirming surgery.

[C]

Monet can afford hers, honey.

[A]

So wait, so, okay.

[C]

Oh, God. I got all.

[A]

Is the work room. Was it really that hard to work in there? Because Shay. It seemed like y' all were just singing xylophoning. There was a ukulele came out at one point in time, and Shay was just, like, jinxing.

[D]

That fucking ukulele was always.

[B]

She was always ukulele ing. She was always bing, bang, bong. Same, same. Always playing something Jada, when she gave. After she gave Viv that fucking xylophone. In the last lip sync, Jada would just have this xylophone. Just always in. Just randomly bring it out. And it was for me. I can work in noise. I don't know if you. How do you feel about this? I am very good at working in noise. I don't know.

[D]

It's because I grew up in New York or because I lived.

[B]

You know, noise doesn't bother me. Noise doesn't bother me to sleep. Noise doesn't bother me to concentrate.

[D]

Like, generally.

[B]

I mean, if it's, like, obnoxiously loud, like someone with A fucking. What you call this? A jackhammer? A jackhammer, like, out, like, right in front. Like, that's one thing. But if it's, like, just random noise, I can.

[D]

I can deal with that. It doesn't bother me.

[A]

You have footage of Darian Lake using

[C]

a jackhammer in slow motion. Her titties are bouncing.

[D]

You are so random.

[A]

You remember this?

[B]

Have I. Have I.

[A]

You just talking about jackhammers.

[C]

It's not random. You're just talking about jackhammer.

[B]

Oh, would this actually happened or. You said, have I ever imagined.

[C]

It was on.

[A]

It was on the Season six promo, and she's using a jackhammer in slow motion.

[C]

Her titties are like.

[D]

Durian has great tits.

[C]

Remember this?

[D]

I don't remember.

[A]

Anyway, yeah, noise doesn't bother me that much.

[C]

I can sleep in the noisiest of places. I can. Yeah. I mean, maybe it's New York City for 12 years. Maybe it's coming from, you know, Columbus, Georgia. Columbus isn't that loud. Columbus is.

[D]

You know, when I went, there was pretty loud.

[C]

You have never been to Columbus, Georgia.

[B]

I have. I have. The one year I lived in Gwinnett county.

[D]

We took a field trip to Columbus to go to the state fair.

[C]

You are lying. You are lying. The state fair. You are.

[A]

Cause, you know. You know why they call it the state fair? Because it travels all around the state

[B]

so you wouldn't have to get in Columbus.

[A]

No, it travels around the state throughout the year so you can get the state fair up in Gwinnett. So why would you chase the state fair down to Gwinnett?

[B]

Because in the school.

[A]

Coming down to Columbus.

[B]

Because how we worked in the school year, it just lined up that when it was our spring break, that's when it was time to go to the Gwinnett County. I mean, to the Columbus State Fair.

[A]

And where was.

[B]

It was on decal and Mason, I think.

[A]

Shut the up.

[B]

No, sorry.

[G]

Sorry.

[E]

No, no, no, no.

[B]

It was. It was on. It was on buena Vista and DeKalb Avenue, I believe.

[A]

Absolutely not. It said the Coliseum. The state fair is in the parking lot. Once you're headed toward Phoenix City, Alabama,

[C]

right before you go over the bridge to the left, you will see the state fair.

[B]

And then. But then if you go under the bridge to the underpass, then that's where the school bus parked. And we went to the fair under the Chattahoochee River. Yeah, we went.

[A]

We went.

[B]

We took the little road that takes

[A]

you up on the other side under the Chattahoochee, y'. All Went, damn. Y' all went under the Chattahoochee. That is crazy.

[B]

Honey.

[A]

I didn't even know they had built a tunnel under the Chattahoochee, Honey.

[B]

They call our teacher the Miss Frizzle of teachers.

[D]

Honey.

[B]

She was really creative.

[D]

She'll get us anywhere we needed to go.

[A]

This Guy Online said Ms. Frizzle could only teach science. Imagine if kids were like, what was slavery like? To the bus? Miss Fristle. What were the. What were the. Who were the Nazis? To the bus?

[B]

Oh, my God.

[D]

That is hilarious.

[A]

That's on TikTok. That's not my joke.

[C]

I saw it on TikTok.

[B]

That is hilarious.

[A]

Oh, my God. We are not talking about the show. All right, so you're talking about how you want to write well, like, write well this episode. I feel like, you know, in my head, I'm like, if I was blocked, I wouldn't care.

[B]

Yeah, but you.

[A]

Because you can't win.

[B]

Oh, yeah, but you can still get $10,000 to lip sync, though.

[C]

Then you could block someone, too.

[D]

Or you can block someone.

[B]

Yeah, so it does matter, for sure.

[C]

Yeah, that's true.

[F]

And also.

[B]

And in the grand scheme of even public perception, right. The goal is, even though you're blocked, you still want to do good because

[D]

people are still consuming the show, and it's still showing your talents as a

[B]

writer, as a comedian. So you still.

[D]

Still behooves you to do well.

[A]

Yeah, you all do a little session

[C]

with Carson Kressley and Nikki Glazier.

[B]

I love Nikki Glaser. Oh, my God. Yes. I love Nikki Glaser.

[F]

She's so.

[B]

I watch a lot of the roasts on Comedy Central.

[D]

I love them. They're so good. I started watching them from the Justin Bieber roast, and I've seen a bunch

[B]

of them, and Nikki Glaser, she's an.

[A]

She.

[B]

She's a very. She's a very filthy comic in the. In the roast. But also outside of that, she. She makes, like, a lot of, like, sex jokes. Go ahead.

[C]

She's filthy.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Even outside the roast, she's disgusting. She's filthy.

[B]

She's repulsive, Right? Oh, my God.

[D]

You're trying to do a thing I can't.

[C]

Is that what you're saying?

[B]

Anyway, Nikki Glaser.

[C]

I'm piggybacking back on what you were saying.

[B]

I'm a big fan of hers. If y' all want to watch some of her stuff, just type in. Just go on YouTube and type in Nikki Glazer roast.

[D]

And her jokes are always very cutting.

[C]

We should get Nikki on the podcast.

[B]

I would love to have Nikki.

[D]

I'm sure she'd do it.

[C]

I want Leslie on the podcast too.

[D]

Leslie Jones or Leslie Jordan?

[C]

Leslie Jones.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

We'll talk about ladies and calm a day.

[B]

Oh, yeah, that'll be actually really fun.

[D]

I would love to have Leslie Jones on here. I love her. She's great.

[E]

Love.

[C]

Let's Jo

[A]

and a few people. Viv and Raja decided to go with these characters and Jinx says doing. I mean, we'll get to Jinx's, but Viv and Raj decided they're going to

[C]

go with characters, which I think was actually a pretty strong choice.

[A]

A high risk, but a high yield too.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, I really, I, I, I really enjoyed.

[D]

Well, we'll get to the ones we enjoyed.

[A]

Um, I think Nikki and Carson don't get Rajah's bit. Like, as, as Nikki and Carson are watching Raja, it's like they don't get it. But maybe Raja hadn't, But also you all, you all hadn't really had a lot of time to write like you had. It's not like y', all, y', all, like, were given the challenge and like 20 minutes later were in front of. How, how long? Actually, I don't know. How long was it between.

[B]

In real, in real time?

[D]

It's probably like about, about an hour. Two hours. Yeah.

[H]

Yeah.

[A]

But still not enough to have. I guess it isn't.

[C]

I mean, this is as much as you're going to get, you know, to

[B]

get like a rough, be able to, to get rough ideas, though.

[D]

You know what I mean? So then, so then you have that night to kind of go over it and flesh it out.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

So let's go to the, to the, to the challenge. I really just feel. I know, I know, I know, Covid, but, like, I really would like there

[C]

to be an audience.

[A]

Like, it's hard, it's so hard to keep watching for, like, I think four seasons now. People performing for no one. It is getting wild. Anyway, what did you go get?

[C]

What did you just go get?

[B]

I got my full speech.

[A]

Oh, your speech.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

You wanna do the whole speech?

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Please welcome Sumu. Someone comes loudly.

[C]

Monet X Change.

[B]

Good morning and thank you to the

[F]

students, parents and faculty for having me. As you all know, my name is Monet Xchange, and it truly is an honor to stand here before you at

[B]

a dainty 5 foot 12 to uplift,

[F]

inspire, and perspire in front of each and every one of you, looking out at you beautiful Grads.

[B]

I'm not really sure why I was asked to be here today.

[F]

Perhaps it was my sickening fashions on season 10. My ability to tithe for a win

[D]

in All Stars 4.

[B]

Or maybe just all this ass. Either way, I want to share with you all some words of wisdom for

[F]

this next chapter in your life. Today marks your draguation and a commitment to take your fist.

[D]

I mean, first, I'm used to saying that word. Oh.

[B]

I mean, first, I'm used to saying

[D]

the other word first.

[F]

Real steps out into the world where you'll encounter many situations that compel you to ask yourself, am I doing this right? Did I choose the right career? Should I have let the entire football team spit roast me again?

[B]

Yes.

[F]

The answer is always yes. Know that your labor is not in vain, and as long as you operate in love and lead with foreskin.

[B]

I mean, kindness. Yeah, kindness.

[F]

Or what? I'm still trying to teach Trinity. You're doing it right. Perfection is unattainable and failure is inevitable. But you can't fear either.

[B]

God knows Carson doesn't.

[F]

I'm not gonna lie to you. I know failure is scary, but it's not defeat. It's not the end. It's really just Michelle Visage pushing you in a new direction and telling you no.

[B]

The sooner you realize this, the more

[F]

you'll see that these imperfect failures are the quirks and flaws that make you you. They're what make you great. Unless your quirk. Unless your quirk is blocking me.

[B]

If you win this challenge, then that's just fucking stupid.

[F]

When I graduated college, I can honestly stand here and admit to each and every one of you that I was afraid. I was afraid to let the world at large see me for who I was. I was afraid that my quirks would out me. I was afraid that those same quirks would be my downfall and ultimately be the recipe for my demise. But I'm here to say. So what? So what?

[D]

You're loud.

[F]

So what? You stutter. So what? You're poor. So what?

[D]

You're queer.

[F]

So what? You're black. When life is giving it to you hard. Grit your teeth, sniff some papas, and you take it. Learn and embrace these treasures about you.

[B]

Because, fool t, they're the reasons why

[F]

I'm standing before you all here today. A wise spirit named Mufasa once said,

[D]

Remember who you are, Simba.

[F]

Don't be afraid to show the world who you are. Maybe it's the way you make people laugh. Maybe it's the way you inspire. Maybe it's your ability to spark joy at every glory hall you visit. But just remember to be you and always keep your currency in check.

[D]

Quirks and all.

[B]

Condragulations grads. You made it.

[D]

Woo.

[A]

So what?

[C]

You're loud.

[A]

So what?

[C]

You stutter.

[A]

So what?

[C]

You have an exploding foot. Just take life one step at a time.

[A]

So I, you know, first of all, there was the hair pick. The hair pick falling out was like, I guess they could, you couldn't edit around it because there's a picture, there's not a pin.

[B]

Because other people had little things that happened to them that they did edit out. I was gonna say that, and I will say this. So when we were, when we were like, when we were consulting, like about doing the thing they were really heavy on. It needs to be funny, but also really inspirational. They were like, we want this to be funny, but it also needs to have an air of an actual like

[D]

inspiring speech to people. So that was a lot of the notes we got.

[A]

I will try to find my.

[C]

I did a commencement speech in 2021 for Verizon's. Verizon did

[A]

a commencement thing.

[C]

It was me, Alexander Rodriguez and like one other person. And I will try my best, I do not promise, but I will try my best to find that speech and upload it to the Patreon.

[A]

But it was a very, it was a very. I, I turned that speech out.

[C]

Turned it.

[A]

But yes, you had some really funny parts here that really, I really love. The, the, the, the, the poppers bit

[C]

was really, really funny, I thought.

[D]

Thank y'. All.

[B]

Wait, are we. I was first, right?

[D]

I was first, right?

[C]

Yeah, you were the, you were the very first one we were going in.

[D]

I love going first.

[B]

Do you, do you, do you ever feel qual. Do you ever feel weird about going first, middle, last?

[D]

How do you feel?

[A]

No, I, I love going first sometime going at the end of the show, depending on the show.

[C]

Like if it's a stand up comedy

[A]

show, closing is really nice.

[C]

Cause you're the closer but also you're

[A]

performing while the checks are dropping. So it kind of depends on where you are. Are you, are you at, are you at like work the world where going last isn't that big of a deal because it's only an hour and a half into the show. Or are you at saliva two days of the Ritz? We're going last means it's three o'

[D]

clock in the morning, right?

[A]

You know what I mean? So it all depends on where in this scenario. I don't think going Last would be. Would be that. That big of a deal, to be

[C]

honest, or even in the beginning.

[A]

I love opening up and setting the tone, because if someone before you has a shit tone, you have to recover. You have to. Actually, if someone for you is bombing when you go up, you have to acknowledge that they bombed for your set to do well.

[B]

Right.

[D]

Right. Yeah.

[A]

You know, so Shea Coulee goes up and during Shay. Shay's speech is very sincere, but also

[C]

very, very, very funny.

[A]

She's very.

[C]

She's a very good writer. She's a very, very good writer. Whenever she writes, I'm like. I'm like, wow, that was very well written.

[A]

I really enjoyed her.

[C]

Her.

[A]

Her references.

[C]

There can be 99 people in the cafeteria, you know.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Shay's was really good. And she was. She worked, like, down to the.

[D]

Like to the wire to get it done. Like, we were all.

[B]

We all started painting to get ready,

[D]

and Shay was still, like, writing hers out. But good job. Well done, because it came out very great.

[C]

And her look was really great.

[B]

I loved her look. I want that fucking outfit. I was like, bitch, I want. It's so cool. It looked great.

[D]

It was my favorite look of the night.

[C]

She got the. She got the.

[A]

Let it out in the ass.

[B]

Put some tassels back there.

[C]

Raja goes up.

[A]

I really love. You know, when. When she was talking to Nikki Glazer, Glaser, and Carson, it looked like Raj was gonna bomb. But Raja did a great job. I love when she said, I'm aware of your presence.

[C]

That's a really. That's a really.

[A]

And I love that she had a list like, 1, 2, 3. It helped you follow along a lot better.

[C]

And the way that she was moving

[A]

her head and the way that she

[C]

leaned into this character, I thought was very effective.

[A]

It was very weird, though, when Raja said, they know. They know when you're sleeping.

[C]

They know when you're awake.

[A]

They know that you wear a size 15 shoe.

[C]

And women, they cut to Shea Coulee. Did you notice that when she said,

[A]

they know you wear a size 15 shoe?

[C]

Women, they cut.

[D]

I didn't. I didn't clock that.

[A]

Did Shay have a size 15 shoe? You know, the girls with big feet?

[D]

No. Shay and I have the same size.

[A]

You know who the girls with the big feet are?

[C]

Monet. Yeah. Like, your foot is tiny.

[A]

I have a big foot, and your

[C]

foot's bigger than mine.

[A]

Yeah, but you remember from a previous

[E]

watcher, Monet mentioned how all of the girls had around the same foot size, so they would all share shoes.

[D]

Yeah. Thank you, Jacob.

[B]

Because Bob only listens to himself speak. But you said. You said to Shay.

[C]

What are you saying? I wasn't listening.

[A]

Say that again.

[C]

I wasn't listening. What was that?

[B]

You said a size 15 and I said, no, I don't have a size 15.

[D]

Shay and I have the same.

[B]

I wear a size 13. Like, a lot of these are size 13, some are 14.

[D]

Like, it depends on the shoe.

[C]

Honestly, bitch, I wear a 13. You don't want a 13.

[B]

I do also.

[E]

Which RU girls have the biggest feet?

[B]

Every open toed shoe you see here

[D]

is a size 13.

[B]

Every open toed shoe and any suede shoe is 13. The plastic ones, the pleather ones.

[E]

You are about to expose the RU girls with the biggest feet, and I would like you to continue.

[A]

Well, I think that the biggest foot I run across on a Ruger is Brita Filter.

[C]

Brita Filter is walking on boats. Like, Brita Filter has very, very large.

[B]

They're 15.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And wide.

[C]

Brita is like, britta's got a big Samoan foot.

[D]

What size is Eureka?

[B]

Latrice is a big foot too, but Latrice only wears those loose side shoes.

[A]

Eureka's probably roughly the same size. Shangela has a tiny.

[C]

I just posted a TikTok of me and Shangela with her. Fucking.

[A]

Shangela is teeny weeny. Anyway, Jada Essence hall is always funnier

[C]

than I remember her being, if that makes any sense.

[A]

I'm always like, oh, yeah, that's right.

[C]

She's really funny.

[B]

Yeah. Because I think Jada acknowledges that her

[D]

stuff isn't going as planned. And as it's like melting down, she

[B]

just kind of leans into it.

[D]

Like with Prince, Like, Prince was kind of like, not going well. So she's like, I'm just gonna lean into it being bad.

[B]

Her speech wasn't going, I think, as well as she had planned.

[D]

She kind of leaned into that, which makes it funny because, like, it makes her.

[B]

It makes you feel like she's in on it. Like, she's not sitting there, like, thinking like, oh, bitch, I'm the best. I'm the bell of the ball. Y' all hoes can't touch me. She's in.

[D]

She's in on the joke of herself.

[C]

Yeah, I like that. Yvie oddly really committed from stumbling to the very beginning, throwing her papers everywhere.

[B]

I gagged. I got.

[A]

You got another one happen.

[B]

I did not know that was gonna happen. And I was like, oh, shit, this bitch as shit fell.

[F]

I was like.

[B]

Literally the thought in my head, I

[F]

Was like, I hope she numbered those,

[B]

because literally her cards went everywhere. They went under the fucking thing. I was like, this is gonna be a mess. They have to stop. Cameras have to stop.

[D]

Get her cameras.

[B]

I was like, this is crazy.

[D]

Cards.

[A]

Like, did she have extra cards or something? How did she get them back together?

[B]

Yvie did not read.

[D]

Yvie was doing it from the dome. They had nothing on her cards.

[B]

Yvie was doing it all from.

[D]

From off her. Off of her head.

[C]

That is very impressive.

[F]

She.

[B]

That is all on.

[A]

She was giving a. Oh, extemporaneous realness.

[D]

Yeah, girl.

[B]

Evie. Evie was.

[D]

Evie's very smart.

[A]

I like the angle of her speech.

[C]

You know, people don't talk about failing enough, in my opinion. I think she's.

[A]

And the. Like, if I. I would have never known how good I was at lipsticking if I didn't know how bad I was at impersonating Whoopi Goldberg.

[C]

That's very.

[A]

It's very funny.

[C]

It is very real. And I thought it was just a great.

[A]

And what was the story behind her robe?

[B]

She just came with a white robe, and we all just. She drew a bunch of stuff on it. She was like, can y' all all

[D]

sign it and draw whatever you want on it? Literally, we all drew stuff on there.

[C]

Yeah. I want that.

[D]

Like.

[C]

I want to see that robe. Like, that's. That's good. That's like an iconic robe.

[A]

I mean, people pay a lot of

[C]

money to, like, meet y' all and get signatures and stuff. And she has the entire cast.

[A]

Is that this might be the only thing that the entire cast assigned,

[C]

Right?

[B]

Maybe. I think she also, like.

[D]

She drew something. She, Like a big dick on it or something.

[B]

I may be making that up. I think, like, she draws something really

[D]

vulgar on it, if I'm. If I remember correctly.

[C]

Anyway, Evie's also a really great art. Have you ever seen her painting that she does?

[D]

Evie's great. Evie's all around. I love Evie.

[B]

I love it.

[C]

I want one of those paintings. She's probably too busy to be making extra paintings, but I really would like one.

[D]

Yeah. She ain't got time for you, bitch.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

Ok. There's this clip of Civic Watchery. I think it was season 13. Someone please tag it.

[D]

Or BTDQ videos.

[B]

It's me.

[D]

I was on tour somewhere and Bob,

[B]

we were doing the. I think it was the season 13 cast reveal. I asked the son about some. I was like, what about this person? Buckles?

[E]

Ok.

[B]

It was so. You were being so aggressive and wild.

[C]

I was probably doing a Bit Monet.

[B]

No, you were not. It was real.

[C]

Oh, so now you know my. Now you know me more than I know. Yes. Okay, Let's go on to Jinx Monsoon.

[A]

I don't. I don't understand why she decided to do the witch bit if she wasn't going to do the witch bit. Like, she. She didn't really. She, like, had, like, a little bit of. Maybe they. I don't know if they edited it down, but it was like. She acted like she's gonna do this witch bit, but she barely did. It was mostly about the. Getting run over by the car, but

[B]

it was at the beginning of her.

[D]

She did, like, the whole double. Double foil in trouble. Hecate.

[B]

Hecate.

[D]

Hecate. That's which stuff.

[B]

And I think.

[A]

I know it just seemed like a. It seemed like a throwaway.

[C]

Whereas, like, Yvie. Sorry.

[A]

Whereas Ra' Jah and the Viv, they're. They're, like, thematic. It was really. Throughout the entire thing she did at the end, call RuPaul the Grand Priestess or something, but it just feels like. It feels like the speech would have

[C]

been just as strong, if not stronger,

[A]

if she didn't waste the time with

[C]

those witch jokes in the beginning.

[B]

Yeah, true. But I think. But also at that point, you, like, want to put in as much stuff as you think will be funny and

[D]

will land, even though it is not.

[B]

You know, I think she wanted to

[D]

get as many jokes in as she could.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I did enjoy the way that she

[C]

called back to getting hit by the car. It was really. It was very, very, very smart. It was very, very smart the way that she called back to getting hit by a car.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I like that. Again, to your point, I. Even though she didn't do it a bit throughout, at least she started with the witch thing and ended with it to. Made it like. She bookended it, you know, to. It seemed like it was.

[B]

And also she was dressed like a witch.

[D]

She had the witch. The what? You call that?

[C]

Yeah, witch's hat, I guess. I don't know.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And then.

[C]

Is there a name for witch's hat?

[B]

No, no.

[D]

I was gonna call it a graduation cap. I was gonna try to do some witch graduation cap hybrid, but I don't think there is one.

[B]

What do you call a sorting hat,

[C]

which is a witch's hat? This sounds about to be a joke. No, there's no name for them. All right, last but not least, the Vivian. She's wearing one shoe. Her lipstick is smudged. Her makeup is still quite stunning. Stumbling to the stage. And she, like. I love that she.

[A]

You notice at the beginning, she took her card and she threw it, and the card flew up, and it landed right back on the podium. I know she didn't intend that, but that was crazy.

[D]

No.

[A]

Yeah. She take the card. She was, like, throwing her cards, and she threw the card up, and it flew up, and it came right back to the podium. That no one mentioned it. No one laughed at it.

[B]

I didn't see it.

[A]

No one talked about was the first card she threw.

[C]

It was really, really cool.

[E]

Whoa.

[D]

I didn't mean to.

[A]

And also her nipples hanging out. The entire performance. The entire performance, her nipples out.

[D]

It was all intentional.

[B]

I love this character.

[D]

I think, again, Viv is a good actress, and she's a good actor.

[B]

And I. I thought this was really

[D]

brilliant to me, in my opinion, it was my favorite of the night.

[B]

I thought she fucking.

[D]

I thought Viv nailed it. I thought it was very, very good.

[C]

I agree.

[A]

I would have given the win to Viv and Raja over Viv and Jinx. Only because I don't think Jinx theme. She didn't pull the theme through enough.

[C]

I also liked Raja's Runway more than I liked Jinx's.

[A]

We'll get to that in a second. How long did you.

[C]

The Viv stay on the ground?

[B]

I mean, I don't after right after

[D]

her, it was done. So, I mean, not that long.

[C]

I kind of want her. I kind of like the idea of her being there during the Runway. Like, if y' all were stepping over

[B]

her body or at least get.

[D]

Or at least got, like, a body double. So the audience at home would think that shit.

[C]

That shit would have been so fucking funny.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

All right, let's go on to. So we end up finding out that the winner of this week's episode, the winners, shall I say, of this week's episode are Ra' Jah and Jinx.

[D]

Mun, you didn't do the runways yet.

[A]

Oh, shit.

[C]

My bad. Sorry.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

I don't take notes on the runaway because I just look at them, but I never take notes. You're right. Let's go to RuPaul's look. We don't have the bottom half of the look in the picture, but I remember it.

[A]

This is a cool look. I mean, it's not my favorite, but it looks cool, though.

[D]

This hair is giving me very, like, blown. Like there's a fan.

[B]

The person styled the wig, they was like, okay, get the fan. I just put a fan in it

[D]

and just blew the hair this way.

[C]

Yeah, I love it. And I'm looking at all Yalls outfits, too. We're going to do a quick overview of the outfits from the commencement speeches.

[B]

Did you like what Trinity ended up making?

[A]

Yeah, I think it looked really good,

[C]

especially because she made it there.

[A]

I had no clue that I thought

[C]

she was sewing for something. I don't know what the hell she was on, but it looks really cool. I think my favorite cap and gown is probably. My favorite look is probably Shay's.

[A]

But I will say that Shay's is. I will say, though, it is giving. It is giving the least graduation.

[B]

I think it's graduation editorial.

[D]

I love it.

[B]

I think it's.

[D]

It's my favorite.

[B]

She, to me, she's like. It's like if, like fucking Nia Long was playing a professor in a movie, this is the outfit.

[D]

This outfit they put her in. You know what I mean?

[A]

No, I agree. It's my favorite look, but I feel like out of context, I would never think that this had anything to do with graduation. Every other look except Raja's. Every other look, I'd be like, oh,

[C]

this person's giving me a graduation speech.

[A]

But if I saw Shay's completely out

[C]

of context, I'd be like, it's a really nice garment, you know?

[D]

Yeah, I love it.

[A]

Let's go into the looks. Veiled it. Veils. Veils. Veils, Veils on the Runway. I feel like your look was controversial. Okay, so wait, was the veil the. The red thing or was the veil of the cage?

[D]

It was both.

[B]

Like, I was. Was meant to be like this because, you know, when you put a bird

[D]

to sleep, you put this thing over the.

[B]

You have to.

[D]

You have to cover the birds for birds to fall asleep.

[B]

So I wish I would have kept

[D]

it on longer, maybe to sell that part of it.

[B]

I took it off right at the top. So I feel like maybe I would have kept it on towards the end of the Runway, then boom, and then

[D]

finish would have made more sense.

[B]

But the cage.

[D]

The cage and the veil were supposed to be.

[B]

Both act as the cage and the

[D]

COVID were both supposed to be the veil in my outfit. And it was very, very RuPaul loved it.

[B]

When I came out, RuPaul was. RuPaul was living.

[A]

This look is really good. It seems like it's a nod to

[C]

Birds of Prey, the Alexander McQueen collection. And I don't know a lot of fashion references. It's like one of the few that

[A]

I do know, and I love this. Only thing, I feel like this outfit is better than the veil. I wish that also. I think what I wish was that the veil you had, the thing you put over the cage matched the fabric more.

[D]

It matched the peach that's in the feathers.

[C]

Yeah, I can see that.

[A]

Shea. This is all.

[C]

Is this like another, like, like, like Hulch Couture fashion piece from, like, a Runway or something?

[F]

I think so.

[B]

Like, it was. Yeah, it is.

[D]

It is from a designer. She got this from a designer for the show.

[F]

Yes.

[C]

Yeah, it looks really. It looks really cool. It's. It's like a gardening. She said it was, like, inspired by the idea. Was like her grandmother was gardening. It looks really cool. This is a very.

[B]

No, I think she.

[D]

No, no, no. The designer. Grandmother is a gardener. The designer is, like this Asian designer, and that's what it was.

[C]

Shay did say on the Runway that it was inspired, that the idea of this was that her grandmother would garden with this veil on. With a veil on. She didn't say she'd garden like this.

[D]

Are you sure

[E]

she cool on Instagram says Sundays are meant for self care. So I waited to post this photo until today. After church, we'd go over to my grandparents, and without fail, my grandmother would change out of her Sunday best into her gardening clothes. Saturday, her focus was the laborious produce. She grew collard greens, cucumbers.

[D]

I don't come from a garden family.

[A]

Did you watch the show, Tamar?

[D]

I don't come from a gardener family. No one in my family gardens. My family is not the garden family.

[A]

You mean y' all didn't have a little plot in Brooklyn? Y' all didn't have a little. Y' all didn't have a little plot in the concrete in Brooklyn?

[D]

We did not, unfortunately. So what I hear also, folks would

[A]

be eating fruits and vegetables grown in New York City. Y' all got to be crazy. I would, bitch. I would. Eating the fruits grown on a rooftop in Manhattan, bitch. You got to be crazy as you

[B]

sip from your fucking Starbucks cup. Yeah, exactly. But these fruits and vegetables grown in this nice soil that people tend to every day. I need that.

[A]

What nice soil in Brooklyn? There is.

[B]

You have to go to the store and get soil and fertilizer.

[A]

They're not going to say there's no gardens in your family. You said there's no gardeners. How you know they're not going with

[B]

shelves and buckets by the Hudson river and getting the fucking dirt by the Hudson River? Are they going to the Home Depot? I don't know that. Or the Lowe's?

[D]

I don't know.

[B]

That I can't with you. That is. Honestly. That's one of the craziest things boss I've ever said. But, like, I don't know how y' all eat fruits and vegetables grown in New York.

[C]

Meanwhile, no.

[B]

Crunchwrap supreme.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. This cow wasn't raised in. In the Heights. Yeah.

[B]

It was raised in a damn cage in fucking Columbus, Georgia, under the.

[D]

Under the jail.

[C]

There are no cows in Columbus, Georgia.

[B]

That is not true.

[C]

Not a farm town.

[B]

There has to be a guarantee. There's at least one. There's at least one cow in Columbus, Georgia.

[A]

That's my bully. You don't know that. You're assuming.

[B]

You don't know there isn't. You're assuming there isn't.

[A]

No, I have. I have context, actually. There was a famous cow in Columbus, Georgia named Katie. Do you know that?

[B]

Oh, so what about Katie? What about her friends and her family?

[A]

But Katie was a K. So Kennet Dairies. They're actually. There was a dairy in Columbus, Georgia, a very famous dairy called Kennet Dairies in Columbus, Georgia. And it was. If you go to Columbus, Georgia now, where the Best Buy is, that's where the Ken Daris used to be. There was this massive cow, a huge like cow statue outside that everyone loved. And they named it Katie for Ken Darius. Katie. Well, when they closed Ken Darius, they put the Best Buy up there. Everyone was so sad to see Katie gone. They actually brought Katie back, put. She's now in front of the Best Buy. And then there's a little thing called bb. There's a tiny cow named BB for Best Buy. So Katie and BB are in front of the Best Buy in Columbus, Georgia. If you want to know a little. A little bit of history for Columbus, Georgia.

[B]

So there are at least two cows

[D]

that we know live in Columbus.

[B]

That's what it is.

[A]

There are cows in Columbus.

[C]

There was.

[A]

There was a whole deer there named Canada's gone.

[C]

I don't know what happened.

[A]

All the cows. Anyway, moving on. Trinity, the tuck. I absolutely love this look. This look is so impeccable. It is. She looks very good in red. And I also like her with dark hair.

[C]

I think I prefer Trinity with dark hair.

[D]

This wig bitch.

[B]

When they do like the close ups of her. That thing was coming from her fucking scalp. Ok.

[D]

This wig was so stunning.

[C]

Yeah, this looks really good. She better work. I love this veil. It is that. Honestly, this is the best veil on the Runway. I'm just gonna go ahead and call it now.

[A]

This look is so good.

[D]

It was very good.

[A]

It is amazing.

[C]

It really is.

[D]

It was really good.

[A]

You wanna talk about Raja?

[B]

Yeah. Rajwa. First of all, I love how Ra' Jah takes these Lucite heels. Ra' Jah has so many, like run of the mill loose side heels.

[D]

She transforms them into these amazing shoes. Her shoes.

[B]

I love how she matches.

[A]

I describe what luciight heel is.

[C]

For our listeners who may not know.

[B]

Loose side heel. If you have ever seen any drag queen.

[D]

Well, not any drag queen.

[B]

They're these like clear pleaser shoes. And they are translucent with a platform. They're translucent in the heel and in the platform. And they have a translucent. Not plastic. Yeah, it is plastic. Plastic front on top of it where you like a. Like a. Like a. Like a peep toe. They sell them in peep toe, slingback. And a lot of drag queens wear them.

[D]

Cause they're very universal. You can throw some stones on it,

[B]

you can paint them, whatever, and you

[D]

have a brand new heel or you

[B]

just keep them neutral.

[D]

You can wear them with anything, which

[B]

is what Lady Bunny does a lot. Lady Gaga is famous for wearing loose side heels because she gets the really tall ones.

[C]

They be comfy.

[A]

But yeah, this look, she's on cover of a magazine.

[C]

I think it looks really, really cool. I love the dress. I've never seen anything like this on the Runway before.

[D]

Yeah. Her having the magazine, but yeah, that was really smart. It was really cool.

[C]

Yeah, it's a really cool look.

[B]

J.J. s Hall.

[C]

I don't think I understand what's going on here.

[D]

I don't get it. I did not really. No, it looked just like this. And I genuinely didn't get it because,

[B]

like, yes, it's veil, but you're completely covered. Like, you can't see. Like, this could be Jasmine Matzos under

[D]

there from the Christmas special. We don't know who's under this thing.

[A]

Yeah, I don't know what's going on here.

[C]

I don't get it.

[D]

Yeah, it's not. And Jada has had some amazing looks. It's not one of my faves of hers.

[C]

Let's go into Evelyn.

[B]

Evelyn, oddly, Evelyn stoned this.

[D]

She made and stoned this look with herself and her roommates and stuff. Like, this is.

[B]

And it was really.

[D]

The pictures or videos don't do it justice.

[B]

It was fully stoned, like from every

[D]

inch of that thing was stoned. It looked amazing in person.

[C]

It looks really sparkly. She looks like the fiercest girl at Burning Man. Like, it's giving. It's giving. I'm the richest girl at Burning Man. I do this. I just. Once I leave Burning Man, I actually go back to my house in Beverly Hills. But I do love to slum it up with you idiots here at Burning

[D]

man once a year.

[C]

Once a year. Let's go on to Jinx Monsoon.

[A]

I really like the concept for the

[C]

veil, but, like, I'm kind of getting. Like, this silhouette is starting to drive me crazy.

[A]

Yeah, the silhouette starting to drive me

[C]

a little bit crazy.

[D]

Yeah. She does this silhouette a lot. And I. Again, I see where she was going with the.

[B]

With like, it's what's.

[D]

Like the butterflies are placing it on her.

[B]

But the way that she. I try to remember how much she walked.

[D]

Like, it should have been in reverse to make it make sense. But I'm trying to think there was something when I watched it. What am I thinking about? Wait, hold on.

[A]

Because the butterfly. I assume the butterflies just Are just flying behind her. They're not pulling her.

[B]

Right. So if so. So. So the back piece is supposed to be the veil, right? So they should.

[C]

So, like, there's two parts to the veil.

[A]

The veil in the front, and there's also holding up the back.

[C]

The back part of the veil too.

[B]

But is that how veils work? It will be the one veil that's in the front, and there will be plenty pulling it back. You see what I'm saying?

[A]

Not all veils.

[C]

Some veils have multiple layers.

[H]

Mm.

[D]

Work.

[C]

When you get married, will you wear a veil?

[D]

Absolutely not.

[C]

Why?

[D]

I don't really feel a need for it. No one is. I'm not revealing myself. No one is giving me away.

[B]

I don't understand the purpose of a

[D]

veil in real, like. Cause.

[I]

Oh.

[B]

Because the bride is supposed to be

[D]

like, a secret from the groom.

[B]

The groom is not supposed to have seen the bride until the thing.

[D]

I'm not into that. Bitch.

[B]

We probably fucked last night.

[D]

So.

[C]

God.

[E]

So in the one about weddings, you said your ideal wedding dress was the wedding dress in the Parent Trap with the top hat and the veil. Is that no longer the case?

[B]

I don't remember this.

[D]

I have to look this up now.

[A]

Let's keep going. So. And then the Vivian.

[B]

Oh, okay, okay. Let me rebut Jacob. I do like the top of the veil, but the way that they styled it, the veil was all the way back on the top hat.

[D]

It wasn't covering her face. So that's what I bet.

[C]

Work. I don't like the Viv's. Look, I'm just gonna be blunt.

[D]

I don't understand how the veil works.

[C]

I wish that the belts were a different color than the dress. They stood out more.

[A]

I also feel like we.

[C]

I don't think that everything on Runway

[A]

needs to be completely original, but it's

[C]

a little bit indicative of the Manila Luzon's bondage look on the Runway, which was just so good because it makes

[A]

my mind instantly think of that where

[C]

she was a bunny with a carrot in her mouth. Mm. Well, the gag was, like. It was a carrot gag. It was really good.

[A]

So I don't love this look, but yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Anyway.

[D]

Yeah, I agree.

[A]

So the winners of this week's challenge

[C]

are Raja and Jinx Monsoon. They do. They do better.

[A]

I don't think you'd ever see Raja or Jinx Monsoon sing this song at any point in time. And if you were to pause at 58 minutes and 50 seconds to get

[C]

Yalls response after the lip sync, I

[A]

want you to tell me more about

[C]

how y' all were reacting to it

[B]

there in real time, because it was no shade.

[D]

I love Jinx. Love Raj. It was not a good lip sync. Raj didn't really know the words, and Jinkx is just not a good lip syncer. And it was just. It really was a little painful to watch.

[B]

No shade. Love the ladies, and they know this too. Like, we all Kiki'd and cackled about it.

[D]

It was not a great lipstick.

[C]

Well, first of all, like, that's why.

[B]

That's why we. That's why we. When the lip sync is done and we all. They say this over, all of us are like, Jinx's.

[C]

She.

[A]

The same acting y' all did. Y' all should have used that same acting y' all did when RuPaul walked into that outfit. Y' all should have brought some of that back. Maybe you could have afforded your sisters that same courtesy.

[C]

It was not a good lip sync.

[A]

Jinx are terrible. I didn't like the winding of the big dick energy line.

[B]

Yeah. And also. But no shade, bitch. Put on a heel or put on a. Like, what is this? What is this combat boot?

[C]

Oh, I hate these shoes. I hate Jinx's shoes so much. These are the shoes that Jinx wears during the day.

[A]

These are JC State shoes.

[C]

I recognize these shoes.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And then, like, those tights with the thing on it.

[D]

It's just a lot of stuff.

[B]

And also knowing that yvie was there. Yvie's look for this lip sync because she thought she was going to believe lip syncing.

[D]

It was going to be amazing. It was going to be such a good lip sync. To see Yvie do this song.

[A]

Also, I wrote down, Yvie actually does the best lip sync during this thing because Evie's. It keeps flashing over to Yvie and she's doing. She's doing a better lip sync from the chair.

[D]

Yeah, it was a while ago. We're sitting there like, not this

[I]

again.

[A]

If y' all want to see the.

[C]

The. The.

[A]

The. The queens who.

[C]

Who were safe that week reacting. If you're watching a parent plus 58

[A]

minutes and 50 seconds pause.

[C]

Specifically Monet, it is very funny.

[A]

And then we go back to the

[C]

Viv's quote from earlier. She won't get a chance to block me.

[D]

Cut.

[C]

Jinx saunters over to Viv in her very comfortable Nine west boots and hands the platinum plunger to the Viv and says, I hope you take this as the compliment. It is.

[D]

Yes, honey.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Vivian was tight. She was upset. Vivian is not joking. She's upset.

[C]

I didn't know about tight until I moved to New York City. Tight means mad.

[A]

You getting.

[D]

What is it? Your favorite line.

[A]

Hey, yo, son, you making me mad. Tight right now.

[C]

I think I've told this earlier on podcast before.

[D]

Yeah, we don't need to hear it again. We got it.

[A]

Hi.

[C]

My God. I was listening to our most recent episode of the podcast, which is the one where Monet's like, I took a shit.

[A]

I'm in a good mood. I am open minded.

[C]

I was re. Listening to that. Honestly, I stand by what I said.

[B]

I'm about to say. Do you. Have you had any revelations?

[D]

No.

[B]

You still the same old commotion.

[C]

I stand by what I said 10 out of 10 would do again.

[B]

I listened to it again, too, and I was like. I was like, bob is wild. I was like, sometimes Bob will literally just be choosing days to just be. You just. You actively, like, you get a menu for the day. You're like, happy, content bitch. I'm just gonna be a bitch today. Like, shut up.

[A]

It was this. It was this. It was this, and I hate this. I don't care how the question's asked. It's never a good question. Are you tired? That's never. I hate that's. That is a. That is a question. That is you feeling bad. You kind of. You're tired?

[D]

No.

[A]

Are you tired?

[B]

Yeah. Okay. Out of context, I'm talking for me.

[A]

I'm not talking about for you. I'm talking about for me, the question, are you tired? Never feels good.

[B]

But out of context, yes. Bob, we were in day three or

[D]

four of our rehearsals.

[B]

We're Rehearsing for eight hours straight every day. So me saying to you, girl, are you tired?

[A]

I'm like, I'm not. And bitch, say you're tired instead. Say, I'm tired. Don't ask me, bitch, I can't lean it. Were you tired?

[B]

I was a little tired, yes.

[A]

Then you should have said it. Say, I'm tired.

[B]

No, like, we literally are entangled in so much of our lives together. Me saying to you, after the fourth day of rehearsing eight hours straight, be like, girl, you tired. That's not a loaded question, bitch.

[D]

It's fully unloaded.

[A]

Actually, all I'm doing is telling you

[C]

the communication I like.

[A]

I would have preferred, oh, I am tired. Okay, well, all I'm doing is just telling you. This is called setting healthy boundaries. I'm telling you, boundary my dick.

[B]

Bounder my dick onto your nose.

[A]

We'll do a day. We're here and the days are long. And I know the days are long, but the last thing I want is someone at the end of the day

[C]

being like, you're tired.

[A]

Get the fuck out of my face. Leave. Well, girl, I will never forget the day we got shut down in Spartanburg. Season one. We were at Spartanburg and we got sent home. I was not feeling well. I had Covid, but it was very early. There were no Covid. This is so early. This so early. They didn't even have a COVID test.

[C]

And I guess word had gotten around

[A]

that I was not well, but I didn't have a test. Enrico walks up to me in front

[C]

of everyone and goes, not feeling so good.

[D]

That's hilarious.

[A]

Not feeling so good, girl, you know, I don't know. Eureka. Eureka answers questions for you while she's asking them. So she's nodding her head yes, going, not feeling so good. Feeling bad.

[C]

Feeling bad.

[D]

She wasn't wrong.

[B]

She wasn't lying.

[A]

It doesn't matter if she's. It doesn't matter how tired I am. I do not like the question. Do you got that framed?

[B]

You should get framed.

[D]

I am going to get it framed. I'm going to get it framed.

[C]

I have some sign pictures in my home of Queen. I have Trixie, Layla, Kim, Naomi, and you. I bought a hat and a shirt. I don't know where the picture is if I need to get a frame so I can put up in my room. Oh, and I have Valentina.

[B]

I have a Valentina one, too. I don't know where it is. Valentina gave this to me. I forgot.

[A]

Oh, we were.

[B]

When we were filming all Stars. She just added her thing and she

[F]

was like, mi amor, this is for you.

[B]

And she just signed message. I was like, valentina, what the fuck?

[A]

Well, mine was a picture that a fan brought her. A fan bought her a picture of herself. Just bought her Valentina a picture of

[C]

herself and just gave it to her,

[A]

which is a very weird gift.

[E]

So it's not actually. It's another model. And they photoshopped Valentina's face onto a. Like a model. Like there was like a CIS woman model and the fan photoshopped Valentina's face onto a different body and then gave Valentina the photo.

[I]

I started Ornod in 2013 and we make bike apparel. The best part of Shopify for me is our ability to run the business as essentially non technical people. We're able to admin everything on the back end, front end and sell things online easily. It if Shopify were a bike accessory, I think it would actually be the bicycle. It's the thing that you do the thing on. We run the business on Shopify. Start your free trial on shopify.com.

my name is Shannon Maldonado. I'm the founder of Yowie, a gift shop from the lens of artists and handmade objects. I chose Shopify because when I was testing other platforms, it was definitely one of the most user friendly. It was important to me to think about where we would be in the future. All, all of the tools for reading your sales, like planning inventory, they're just right there on your dashboard. For anyone starting a small business, the biggest thing I can tell you is it doesn't have to be perfect. Shopify can help you build upon it. Start your free trial on shopify.com.
