Bob the Drag Queen
I do not enjoy kombucha. Like, I know it does. Like, it became, like, a really popular thing people love.
Monet X Change
I'm not.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't get it. I don't think it tastes particularly good. What are you doing?
Monet X Change
Kombucha has nothing but nice things to say about you. That's crazy. She loves you. She loves you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Sorry. It's kombucha. It's kombucha, not kombucha. I sound like some. I don't like kombucha.
Monet X Change
Part of me is. I mean, I've had this conversation on the podcast before, but, like, sometimes, just like, people have access and they just say things like, there was this. This big thing on TikTok about this. Like, this. There was this guy who was like, tell everybody how to pronounce Italian words. And then a bunch of times like, actually, you're saying it wrong. And I was like, you know, people just. People just say things funny or not funny, but like, with an accent. You know what I mean? Like, whenever someone with an accent says my name, I do not correct them. I do not correct them. Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bob.
Monet X Change
I would never. If someone called me Bob, I wouldn't be like, bob, Bob. That sounds. That seems so cringy to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
When people call me Monet, I'd be like, my name is not Monet. My name is Monet. Because Monet is a different person. I'm monetized. You see what I'm saying?
Monet X Change
Like, whenever someone's like, it's Marcilla. Marcilla. Something to me is cringey about correcting people's accents. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's.
Bob the Drag Queen
If it's Italian, it would be Marcilla.
Monet X Change
I was doing Spanish, Marcia. But maybe it's because I lived in New York City for so long, and people just kind of like, in New York City, in my experience, people just don't correct your accent. Like, no one ever corrects your accent. In New York City, we're just like, oh, yeah, people have accents there. This is kind of what you do.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, like when. But what are you talking about? But people do. Yes. If you say to New York.
Monet X Change
I said it in my experience.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you say to New Yorker, I'm going to Houston ship, like, no, you mean Houston.
Monet X Change
Well, that's not an accent. That's literally just a mispronunciation. Cause Houston and Houston are both in the English.
Bob the Drag Queen
Marcilla and Marcia are different things. If your name is Marcia and you're Italian and someone says, hey, Marcia. Well, no es Marcia, my name is Marcilla.
Monet X Change
Well, that's an accent thing. I don't think Houston and Houston are accent based things.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, it's just Marcia is not an accent. That's the pronunciation. You're saying it wrong.
Monet X Change
No, what I'm saying is like, I think if someone, if someone, like, someone's like, my name is Matteo and you go, oh, Mateo. They go, no, Mateo. Oh, yeah, Mateo. They'll know Matteo. I think that's an accent thing. Whereas Houston and Houston are just. It's like, oh, I just thought it was. I thought it was Houston because I know the word Houston.
Bob the Drag Queen
It also is. But to your. But not. But what you're saying, though, Matteo and Mateo are different things in Spanish and in Italy. So it is. You can make the argument for Mateo and Matteo.
Monet X Change
If someone. We're going to move on because it's not a rivalry. But if someone's saying, no, it's actually Houston, that's not an accent thing. No one's correcting you. You can both have the same American vernacular accent or some regular accent or. But you're just saying Houston. That's not an accent based thing. Whereas, like, for example, if someone says your name with a French accent or with a Middle Eastern accent or with a Southern accent in New York City, typically in those scenarios, people don't really correct, especially on the names and the way that you say things. Whereas Houston and Houston are just different words. They are, yeah. Anyway, Monet, last night's episode of. Of RuPaul's Drag Race, how did you feel?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh my God, it all feels like a blur. And I don't know why. Why do I feel like, oh, Also,
Monet X Change
for those who don't know, but we should clarify, there's a street in New York City called Houston Street. Oh, yeah. And it's spelled the same way that Houston as in Houston, Texas is spelled.
Bob the Drag Queen
But who is Houston was the name. Is that someone's name. How do we know It's Houston and not Houston.
Monet X Change
Cause everyone says Houston, New York City, Houston.
Bob the Drag Queen
So we don't even know. It may be Houston. New Yorkers just want to be cute and call her Houston. I don't know who. Who is this street named after? Mr. Houston?
Monet X Change
There's a chance. But I'm assuming if everyone's saying Houston, it probably is Houston. It's like a point of conversation in New York City. But anyway, the point is there is a street in New York City called Houston street, and everyone who visits says Houston Street. And that's kind of a way that, you know, people are like, just visiting or sorry. Or just get into New York City. If they say, I'll meet you on Houston street, it's down. It's down below the West Village.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, also.
Monet X Change
And Soho means also. But wait, wait, wait.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's rewind because you missed the Buena Vista. That's not a pronunciation thing. I mean, that's. That's that. That you. When I said, oh, it's. It's Buena Vista, you're like, no, Monet, it's not Buena Vista. It's Buena Vista. So you are literally. You are them. You are them.
Monet X Change
No, in Georgia, we say Buena Vista, right? But it. But that is New York City. Also. In Columbus, Georgia, no one's going to correct. They'll just say, oh, yeah, Buena Vista. In Columbus, Georgia, if you say Buena Vista, no one's going to correct you. They'll just go, oh, I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not talking about anyone. I'm talking about Bob the drag Queen Caldwell to dq.
Monet X Change
Okay, what of it? Anyway, what point are you making that
Bob the Drag Queen
you talking about when people correct people? Bitch, you corrected me on this podcast live in living color. I was like, when I was whatever. Buena Vista. He was like, monet, it's not Buena Vista, it's Buena Vista.
Jacob
So it's the beginning of episode 11, and Malaysia, baby doll Fox has just gone home.
Monet X Change
Jacob, we don't. Jacob mute Jacob.
Bob the Drag Queen
We don't have the power to. He can mute us.
Jacob
That's right. And don't you forget it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, not Jacob be like, yeah, white people do have the power. Wow. Weird flex, Jacob.
Monet X Change
Wow. I don't know if we did last time, but can we show that Jacob was always in hell? Every time Jacob turns his camera, he is in hell, all right.
Jacob
And that's just when I'm on this podcast.
Bob the Drag Queen
Damn cold ass rich. Ironically.
Monet X Change
So Selena Estdies is wiping off Malaysia baby dolls boxes. They are dragging her. They're like, this girl knows how to wipe off a Mirror by now. This is her fourth time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, is it her fourth?
Jacob
Third?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Monet X Change
No, it's her fourth time. Girl. I think it's her fourth time
Bob the Drag Queen
the design challenge.
Monet X Change
Maybe I'm wrong. Two design challenges.
Bob the Drag Queen
Two design challenges and something. I think it's my. I think we're going into if this shoe will lip syncs again. It's her fourth. Jacob. Jacob, can you check for it?
Jacob
It was her third. It was the two designs in the interview.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah, got it.
Monet X Change
So they were like, the girl knows how to wipe a mirror down, huh?
Jacob
And she lip synced during the lollaparooza. So she technically has lip synced four times, but this is her third time in the bottom.
Monet X Change
Got it, got it, got it, got it. But anyway, she's the most lip synced. She's the lip sync assassin of the season at this point.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, for sure.
Monet X Change
She sent home three girls, and rightfully so.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's a very good lip syncher. Selena is very electric when she lip syncs.
Monet X Change
And she said that she did not. She don't think that she did that bad in the challenge. And I agree. I don't think she did that bad. And I thought she looked good.
Bob the Drag Queen
I agree. I was. I'm still gagged that Selena's in the bottom. She did not deserve to be there. She looks really good. And she was not terrible in the challenge.
Monet X Change
And Lucy, of course, thought she was going to win. Lucy was sure that that was her challenge win positive. If anything, she's gagged. She did not win that challenge.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I love when. And I love when the Lux. When they're all sitting around the table, Lux goes. Yeah. To Sasha. She's like, yes. Three maxi challenge wins. And the camera slowly pans over to Loosey, and Loosey's just like, also.
Monet X Change
Not only that, but Luxx and Loosey are again. It's been a few episodes, but now, once again, they're competing for second place, which is so weird to me. This is such a strange move.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think in a competition setting like this, it does give you some type of validation that you don't suck if you're really close to winning. Right? Cause, like. Cause the judges are looking at everything. So when you're, like, really close, you're like. You're like, at least I'm not that far off the mark. Because being second and being like, one's in the bottom third before the bottom two, that's a big difference. So it is validating for people in this experience. I know it was for me when I know I Was close to winning. I'm like, I. I feel validated a little bit. Even though I didn't snatch the gold,
Monet X Change
I was one of those girls who was just happy that I was like. The two times that I was in the bottom, I was just happy that I was. The time I wasn't. When it was the wizard of Oz challenge, I was just happy that I wasn't lip syncing. I was like, I'm just grateful to not be lip syncing. You know what I mean? But anyway, I do still think it's very weird when the girls compete for a second foot. That shit is so weird for me. And then the next day, they come in the room and, baby, it's. It seems like Luxx just goes for loosey out of nowhere, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
I love it. I love it. Luxx is digging into her about this baby bum because you know what you think?
Monet X Change
Out of nowhere.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause Lux probably went home, and it was probably an eye. A mind worm for her. She like, I cannot believe this bitch did Beyonce's baby bump. She wasn't pregnant. And, I mean, there may be a little bit of, like, light, friendly drag shade in there, but. But mixed with some real, like, bitch. But you were supposed to be. Also, this is a Bob the Drag Queen. This is a Bob the Drag Queen tactic. Like Monet. How you gonna be honest about you have a baby bump? I'm like, well, like Monae, but she was pregnant. She had a baby bump. Bitch. This ain't Bob the Drag Queen technique. If I had ever seen one.
Monet X Change
That's not. That's not something I would do on the show. I didn't go on the show and be like, how come last week you didn't do. Did you even watch my season? The only time I ever played any mind games was when I wanted something from the specific challenge. So I did get the girls to argue so I could take the music thing I want. But I was never like, Kim Chi, last week, you did a thing that wasn't good. Why? That's not a. That's not something I would do.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not talking about in drag. It's not in the context of. Of you in my life. People like Monet, you know, like, Monet does this thing that drives me crazy. Monet. They would talk about something like that. You were like, Monet, but you.
Monet X Change
But.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you say, bitch, you're doing it right now. That's you.
Monet X Change
Anyway, so she's. She's, like, defending herself and saying, like, she's like, she wasn't pregnant. She was Pregnant. You didn't have body. I had body. I did my version of the body. Why can't I do my version of the body? And of course, Selena's just, like, watching it all ping pong back and forth.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, they said that Lux wasn't even Beyonce body. Lux, I mean, she. I mean, her waist was snatched. She had her hips and her sister, like, what else do you did want her to become Beyonce? I thought Lux looked great. She had a nice waist, hips, and titties.
Monet X Change
Maybe what she's saying is, like, I think Luxx was doing the body that she does every time she's in drag. I don't think it was Beyonce body. I do think that Beyonce has much larger breasts than Luxx had. So I don't think that Luxx was giving Beyonce body. She was giving body.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, by that Beyonce body, by that metric. So. Then. So then another fucking demerit on Loosey. Cause she wasn't giving Beyonce hips and. And titties either.
Monet X Change
Again, I'm also. I'm not defending Luxx. I'm Loosey. I'm just saying that I don't think that Luxx was giving Beyonce. I think Luxx was doing the body that she always does, and I think I love the way her body works, but I don't think that she was doing, like, she didn't change her body for this challenge to make it look more Beyonce. She did the hair. The hair was more Beyonce than she normally does, for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I will say, I'm saying it's such a weird point to bring on somebody else on. Bitch, you didn't either. So you. So you're giving more strikes against yourself because you didn't do that either. So it seems like a weird thing to bring up, but I don't think.
Monet X Change
I don't think Lucy did. Okay, that's a weird point because it's not like Loosey was just sitting there at the table. She did not just out of nowhere bring up Luxx's lack of body. Loosey was just at the table being like, I felt good about my outfit. So I don't think that it's like a weird thing that Loosey did. If anything, luck started and then Loosey was like, well, then I'm gonna bring this up from. That's from what I noticed from being an outsider.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I mean, from Loosey's point, I would bring up something else that I know I'm in the parameters of the challenge. Like, I would have brought up something about the interviews. Cause I know I. I Dusted Luxx in that so I would bring up something to validate me more. Not something to take away more from what I did, is my point. After Luxx brought this thing out of nowhere.
Monet X Change
That's an interesting take. So then they do the mini challenge. The mini challenge. Heard around the world, girl. This mini challenge set Twitter on fire.
Bob the Drag Queen
It did. It did. Gravity. Oh, let me. Jacob, can you bring up Gravity Balmain's thing? I want to read what Gravity had to say.
Jacob
Yes, ma'.
Monet X Change
Am.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause I too long to find it. But yeah, to Drag Race with all the discourse. Gravity.
Monet X Change
Marc Jacobs, by the way.
Jacob
Oh, yeah. Gravity. Marc Jacobs.
Bob the Drag Queen
Gravity. Marc Jacobs. With all the discourse around ballroom culture that's been going on, I don't think Drag Race could have foreseen this. I do think Drag Race because sometimes they bring in guests for mini challenges. I remember season 10, they had. Andy Cohen was a guest for mini challenges. Sometimes they have guests as mini challenges, which is guests.
Monet X Change
Sometime I forgot about that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah. So maybe, like, Dragas could have. Can you go to the first slide? The first one.
Monet X Change
Maybe it's an availability thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Drag. Sure. I mean, they could have. In all of la, they could have found someone in ballroom. Someone in ballroom. Anyway, Gravity.
Monet X Change
I see what you're saying. Yeah. That's what you're saying. I guess now I get what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, they could have found something.
Bob the Drag Queen
Gravity Balmain said, call me a hater all you want, but the voguing quote unquote, Mark Jacobs. Sorry, Gravity. Marc Jacobs said, call me a hater all you want, but the voguing mini challenge in tomorrow's Records episode is probably the most egregious and blatant example of the show's unrelenting efforts to bastardize and make mockery of Vogue and Ballroom, from terminology to technique to framing. Next slide. Oh. It's incredibly disheartening that despite several mainstream and modern depictions of ballroom coming out, RuPaul, drag race remains committed to active misinformation and historization of the scene. It goes without saying this is not primarily targeted towards the queens competing, but rather toward the powers that be. So, yeah, I haven't seen. I didn't see if Leiomy had anything to say. Did you see? Were you watching her Twitter?
Monet X Change
Yeah. I mean, she didn't say anything. I don't think she, like, named Drag Race. She was just, like, again, back with the nogan. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Which, I mean, you know, Drag Race does intentionally make light of a lot of things. Everything from from basically all walks of life. Every. Like, every. Every film, it does it with different types of dancing. It does a different. Does the different scenes. So ballroom Jag race does parody, a lot of, you know, different things, basically. And I guess that there are a lot of people in the ballroom scene who are just not into it. They just really, really don't like it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Overall, the mini challenge, I thought it was a fun mini challenge. I would not have given the win, even though I enjoyed what. What Anetra did. I would have given it to Mistress Isabelle Brooks. I mean, call me a favoritist.
Monet X Change
You're. You're a Men in Black apologist.
Bob the Drag Queen
But did you. I thought. I thought.
Monet X Change
I'm kidding. She was great. She was great. I'm just being silly.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was super creative. And her doing the thing with Marcia. Her doing the thing with the other person before Marcia miming. I forgot what she was miming, but it's all very smart. And doing, like, the. And doing the slow dip at the end. I enjoyed it.
Monet X Change
She put makeup on Marcia. She was throwing shade. She put makeup on Marcia. She act like Luxx forgot to shave.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then she competed with.
Monet X Change
Then she competed with Sasha's hair whips.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So I thought it was very creative and really fun, and I thought she should have won the challenge.
Monet X Change
Um, yeah. Selena was throwing herself all over the floor. I think she fell. And they just really leaned into it, and. Anyway. But Anetra wins, and so she gets to choose the order of the standup show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. Which I. I think it's a yes. Sure, it can be a good. An advantage to pick the order, but at the end of the day, like, either you're funny or you're not. Like, sure, there are different places you can position yourself for padding. Either way, if you put yourself after someone or, you know, or not before someone, that's good. Like, there are different things you can do. Sure. But at the end of the day, bitch, either you got jokes or you don't. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
I think, honestly, I feel like it's less about where you fall in the lineup of a show, but more so who you're following. Because if you follow someone who bombs, sometimes. Sometimes bombing can be good for the next comedian, but it could also be bad for the next comedian, depending on how they bombed.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. The energy in the room and following
Monet X Change
someone who's doing a really good job can also be good and. Or bad. You can ride that wave, or you can really disappoint if you bring it in. A bad Way.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what I'm saying. It kind of. It's so hard. Cause you don't know. Cause sometimes someone really surprised you, like, shit, that person was really good. And then you may fuck yourself up that way. So I'm like, just let the cards be what they gonna be. And just be funny.
Ad Read Announcer
Close your eyes. Exhale.
Bob the Drag Queen
Feel your body relax. And let go of whatever you're carrying today.
Ad Read Announcer
Well, I'm letting go of the worry that I wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class. I got them delivered free from 1-800-contacts. Oh, my gosh. They're so fast.
Monet X Change
And breathe.
Ad Read Announcer
Oh, sorry. I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry. Namaste.
Bob the Drag Queen
Visit 1-800-contacts.com today to save on your first order.
Monet X Change
1-800-contacts. We found out why Drag Race is the next 30 minutes for. For this bubbly commercial. Baby. That bubbly commercial was
Shannon Maldonado
long.
Monet X Change
I said, not this being longer than the old episodes of Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
Picking up the coolers, picking up the
Monet X Change
things you mean, girl. Yeah. And also, it was weird because, like, the first time. Not probably the first time. That's probably not true. But, like, the pit crew member had a shirt on. I was like, why is he wearing a shirt? I remember being like, why is he wearing a shirt?
Bob the Drag Queen
It's so weird.
Monet X Change
He's wearing a shirt. It was mesh, but I was like, not a shirt.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, yeah, I thought it was an interesting way to pick the teams. And so they reach in the cooler, and you have to pick a flavor, and then if you match up with someone with that same flavor, y' all are teammates. And Selena ended up drawing the only flavor of hers, which means that she got to go alone, but she gets to choose if she wants to get a partner, which I was like, I don't know about you. I would have loved to be alone. I would have loved to be alone. I would not want to work with anyone.
Monet X Change
Me too. I would've rather work alone. Yeah, I. Doing stand up is hard enough as it is, and let alone trying to build a voice with another person.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I would.
Monet X Change
I would not want to do that.
Jacob
I have a question. So I think partially that's because both of you are very strong and good at stand up. So if the challenge was something that you weren't like, what if it was a. This is hypothetical. The construct. The challenge is you have to paint a lifelike portrait of somebody, and you could either be on a team with Mateo or you could do it Separately. Would you still want to do it separately or would you.
Monet X Change
How do you be on the team? Obviously I want to lean on someone who was better at it than I was. If it was painting pictures, I want to work with an artist. If I knew I was with Kim Chi, who's like actually a great visual artist, or Manila Luzon, who's also a great visual artist, I would want to work with one of those two because I know that they can draw really well. Which, by the way, we used to play this game on. On Jackbox with Kimchi, where you draw on these shirts and Kimchi would just draw these like elaborate, insane pictures while I was over here in fucking stick figure town.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I hate the drawing Jackbox games. I'm not a good drawer. I can't draw and I'm always bad at it.
Monet X Change
But I do think that I. But if I was Mateo, I would want to do it alone.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to be alone.
Monet X Change
If I was Kim Chi, I'd want to do it alone, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So. But Selena and I've been to Selena's shows in LA and I've seen Selena is great by herself. Selena's very funny. Like Selena is really good. So I was shocked when she wanted to get a partner. I think also she just got from being the bottom. She was probably so in her head feeling so insecure. She's like, let me get a partner. So I have patting her, but I've seen something by herself, like she's really good doing just a one woman show. So I was shocked.
Monet X Change
So the teams end up being Marsha by herself, Luxx and Lucy, Sasha and Anetra, and then Mistress and Salina as the.
Bob the Drag Queen
And who would you want if you had to have a partner? Who would you want to be your partner?
Monet X Change
Out of those people, I would probably choose. I mean, my natural inclination would be Mistress. And then after Mistress, it'd be Lucy.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would have went for Lucy first.
Monet X Change
I don't think Mistress actually did that well though. Yeah, I would want better than she did.
Bob the Drag Queen
I went for Lucy first just because considering Snatch Game, how she did end the hosting thing and she like, she just, she seems like. And hearing her talk about how. How she's done so like she hosts many shows in Connecticut. I would, I went for Lucy first.
Monet X Change
That's a good point. I would have gone for Lucy as well if I would have had you there to help me rationalize it, but I would have chosen Mistress, so. So Lucy and Lux, they seem to actually be doing really well, despite their tiff a few Hours ago.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I mean, like, what that. And it's just so crazy. They had all of this. They always have these arguments and whatever, and they ended up getting paired together. To me, that's so crazy. And I.
Monet X Change
Cause I don't think, you know, the fans are gonna. The fans are gonna buy. There was a producer in the cooler. It is not inside the cooler. No, there was. If you look underneath, there was an empty space and there was a producer in the ice.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right. And, like, that's just how the cards felt. But that's so wild to me. But I think that Lucy is very professional. But Lux wants to fucking win, and she's gonna put her. They're gonna put the difference aside so they can do a good job in the challenge.
Monet X Change
I also am one of those folks who, like, if they were changing stuff out in between, I'm not one of those viewers who's like, I don't understand people who don't. Who are things who are like, so and so is so overproduced. I'm like, you want your show to be produced. You do not want an under produced show. I'm telling you all you think you do. You do not want to watch an under produced reality show. I mean, there's a reason why you all love RuPaul's Drag Race. It's because of the producers. But do y' all think it's a coincidence that you. That you randomly like the way that Drag Race works?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
It's because of the producer that you all, like, blame stuff on all the time. They're the reasons you love the show. The queens are great. Yes, no doubt. These queens are absolutely. And obviously the queens are. The queens are a part of this. RuPaul's a part of this. Everyone's a part of it. But, you know, these producers are, in my opinion, they're really great. So.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I mean, it's.
Monet X Change
Go ahead.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was saying it's the reason they love sleeping rivalry. Every fight. We have, everything that is. It's a produce. We have our weekly meetings. We produce every fight, everything. The two thing. That was a produced moment with me and Bob, y' all think that just happened organically? It's produced, y'.
Shannon Maldonado
All.
Monet X Change
Me and Monet, when we're down on this thing, we literally just like, laugh and have fun. We never argue, we hug a lot. A lot of cuddling.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
You know, me and Jacob's relationship, produced. We're not really dating in real life.
Bob the Drag Queen
Y' all think. Y' all think I'm in a real room.
Monet X Change
Y' all, this is a.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is a produced set.
Monet X Change
This is not my home. Yo, y', all, me and Monet's.
Jacob
Can we do that segment again, but just, like, with a little bit more drama? Like, maybe Monet just pretend that Bob is lying. Maybe just Bob call Monet a. Something like that. Let's. Let's take it again.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Shannon Maldonado
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
And, Jay, remember to take Jacob's voice out of that. Sorry.
Monet X Change
Yeah. And take out the part where we. Where we admitted it was all produced.
Bob the Drag Queen
Here we go.
Monet X Change
Here we go. Take two, bitch. First of all, everything. Everything's not produced, but not everything.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. I know. But, I mean, you're fucking produced, and, you know, I just produce these nuts on your chin. Let's produce my miggle finger to your motherfucking.
Monet X Change
Not the miggle finger. Not the miggle finger.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why do you always make fun of my.
Jacob
Take that again. Be meaner about that.
Monet X Change
All right, we got to move on. So. So, Anetra. Okay. So, Anetra. I'm not. I don't get migraines.
Bob the Drag Queen
Same. I've had one maybe once in my life.
Monet X Change
But also, baby, we gotta get it together. Like, I'd be like, I hate that you have a migraine. I hate that for you. That being said, I'm gonna need you to get it together for this challenge. Is that horrible to say?
Bob the Drag Queen
It's not. But I mean. And I will say this. When you're not. When you're not well, you push through and you get the job done. But I don't. With. When Bob is sick or not feeling well, y', all.
Monet X Change
She's a production. Bobby's like, that's not. You act like I'm scre. You have. Like. You act like when I'm not well, I'm, like, mean to people. All I say is I'm not well. I did not say that. What does she's a production mean? What do you mean by she's a production?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like.
Monet X Change
Like.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, you are, like, the histrionics. There's a lot of drama, Bobby. Walking around. Monet. I just.
Jacob
It's. It's giving Nathan Lane in the birdcage, I don't think.
Monet X Change
Okay, first of all, y', all, it's not drama. Monet is specifically referring to. I know what she's referring to.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
When we were on tour in Canada, I had four. Four dry sockets from having my wisdom teeth removed. Like, a week before I was having to flush out the goo from my mouth. I was on. I was on antibiotics. I was on painkillers. Every six hours. And there would be times when I would say, mo, can you please turn the music down? My head hurts. Or I'd be like, Monet. Monet would come in like, wow. And I'd be like. I'd be like, you don't. In a room, screaming and singing. No, Monet. You into this podcast. Screaming and singing, bitch. This podcast. Anyway, so, yeah, there were times where I'd be like, monet. Okay, my volume is very low. Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is so much
Monet X Change
like, literally. That was you. How was you? Who? The one. Who.
Bob the Drag Queen
The one screaming and carrying on now.
Monet X Change
Not. Whoa, who the hooda. Not who the hoota. Hooda Hoo.
Bob the Drag Queen
But anyway, long story, what I'm getting
Monet X Change
at is, yeah, so I would be like, my head hurts, Monet. My head hurts. And Monet's like, oh, my God, the drama. Ooh, the. The histrionics.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. But I agree. Anitra, like, she, like, walks out to get a medicine, and the medic is called. I'm like, girl, we gotta get together. But I mean, honestly, I would not want.
Monet X Change
I don't get migraines. I don't know. It might. Her migraine might be completely debilitating.
Jacob
I mean, okay, I'm a migraine. I'm one of the. I'm a hot migraine girl. I get migraines. They're bad. In my experience, I have an ice pack I put on my head and I lie down in bed for a while. But I've also had to work through a migraine. I think if I were her, I would put my head down on the desk, I would close my eyes. And just, like, being able to close your eyes and lie down, I feel like that gets you into a place where you can kind of focus and, like, at least talk to people.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I think I've suffered from a headache, not a migraine. I know migraine is a different thing. And it is hard to go through sometimes. I notice people. Sometimes they get nauseous. They're dizzy. Lights. And you're also on set on a. Filming a TV show, right? So, like, the lights are bright, the room is like. So I understand how that is, how that can be hard to work through. That being said, you get one shot at Drag Race and bitch, this could be the thing that sends you home. So it's like, bitch, I gotta get it the fuck together and just make it work.
Monet X Change
But again, I cannot speak to how intense her migraine was. But I would have. But I still, as her partner, would have been annoyed. I've been like, this is just unfortunate for. For me as well that you're having this migraine thing because the judge.
Jacob
What is.
Monet X Change
Because the competition didn't seem to make any. Any concessions for this migraine.
Jacob
What does medical and drag race get you? Do they have the good stuff or is it just like, Advil?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, the medical drag race, they can't, like, get you.
Monet X Change
I've never been like, I've never been hurt that bad, so I don't. I don't know. I mean, you should ask Eureka or Cornbread with what it gets you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, our season when Blair. Blair injured herself in the farm of Rusical. So after that. Oh, no. Blair was having an allergic reaction to gluing earrings to her ears. So every day, the farmer. The farmer. The medic had to come and check on her. And that's when we had Cody. Cody was this hot. This hot set medic. So fucking hot.
Monet X Change
Wasn't that wrong, Blair? Wasn't that wrong, Blair? She's like, my ears, Cody, my ears, my ears.
Bob the Drag Queen
Literally every morning he had to come check on her and give her her medicine. So I don't know how.
Monet X Change
Cody, will you please check on my ears? And just. You gotta get really close with your mouth.
Bob the Drag Queen
But yeah. And then Marsha's working. Marsha. I mean, they said, like, Marsha's talking to herself and I'm like, yeah, bitch. She's saying her. She's saying her material out loud. Like, when you. When I'm writing jokes, I can't just, like, say it in my head. Like, I need to, like, hear it out in the world. So that's. She's practicing her material and we see when she goes to work with Ali Wong and Michelle, they like her material. And they're like, wow, good job.
Monet X Change
When. When they were up there, when they were picking the spots, they were asking Nietzsche what her plan was and she was like, none of your business, bitch. She was like, none of your damn business.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think she had a plan. I think she was just saying stuff.
Monet X Change
You think so?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Yeah. So Marcia, during the. What do you call it, the rehearsals or rehearsals. Marcia seems to be doing really fine. The only thing that I noticed from the rehearse that Marsha seems to be doing really fine.
Ad Read Announcer
And.
Monet X Change
And Sasha came with. Okay, this one tickled me pink. They are so harsh on Selena. Oh, no, the opposite. They're so harsh on Selena. Like, they like. Like, they're like, you need to cut it down. This. That's not fun. One not funny. Two is too long. Also, Are you going to make it good? And then Sasha Kobe came in with, like, a. The inkling over that idea. She was like, well, we're thinking that maybe we'll be kind of like. And then Michelle was like, yeah, yeah, that's something. That's something. Work with that. And Sasha literally had, like, the idea of an idea, and Michelle was like, brilliant, brilliant. Run with it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Run with.
Monet X Change
Just feels like they're just. They were really harsh to Selena in that. In that. In that rehearsal.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I'm not really sure why, but I will say having Ali Wong, who is, like, one of, like, the biggest motherfucking comedians like, in the world, like, they're giving you. Helping you get critiques on your material. Like, how great is that? And she was. I mean, I love me.
Monet X Change
You don't even seem grateful. So
Bob the Drag Queen
and so that seemed. That's really dope. And I think Ali's giving, like, good advice. She's like. She's, like, helping fix a few jokes for some people.
Monet X Change
You're not gonna acknowledge what I just said. I have an. Ali Wong thinks I'm very funny.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I wish that they would have. I wish they would have listened to that same stuff instead of just like saying, do better or that's too long, or. Because Selena did have a lot of exposition in her jokes, but. And I'm curious as to how much time they had. Right. Because normally when you do roast or the things at Drag race, you get five minutes. So when it's two people, I'm curious if they kept it at five or if it was 10 minutes so that both people got it. Seemed like they kept it at 5. Cause the duration seemed the same as we normally see a segment four thing.
Monet X Change
But five minutes is a great amount of time for standup comedy, especially for people who are beginning with comedy. Five minutes is a beautiful amount of time to do some jokes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. But for a storyteller like Selena and when she performed, I don't want to jump ahead for storytellers like that. I feel like 10 minutes is great. Cause you're really trying to. Especially if you're a builder. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
Yeah. But I mean, I kind of. I think five minutes is. If. I don't think it's about whether or not you. Whether or not you're a storyteller. I think it's about how much experience you have. And 10 minutes is 10 minutes when you're on stage.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a long time if you're not with it.
Monet X Change
If you don't have a 10 minutes. Wolf, you will. You will do three minutes and swear up and down. You get 10 minutes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, for sure.
Monet X Change
And they'll be like, girl, you literally have seven minutes. Keep going. I do have an opposite. This may shock you all, but I have an opposite problem. I'll get up and be like, oh, I feel like I didn't do a long show. They're like, bitch, it's tomorrow. Like, you've been on stage since last. Last week.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, we're prisoners, Roberto. Release us.
Monet X Change
We're going to go on to the makeup moments. So Marsha talks about.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Jacob
Selena, can we take that moment again? But, Bob, can you fight Monet when she said that this time,

Monet X Change
So, first of all, Marsha is talking about being nervous about being alone. And then Luxx is like, yeah, you should be nervous. Is Luxx playing mind games with the girls? Cause like the fight with. The fight with. With Lucy earlier, this one, Marsha's like, I'm nervous. She goes, yeah, honestly, you should be like, you should be shaking in your boots, Miss Thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think so. Luck strikes me as someone, as we have seen, she doesn't speak with much of a filth. So she kind of says what comes to her mind. I think that there may be some of her own insecurities about being by yourself in a comedy challenge where you're not a comedian, that is scary. If you don't tell jokes for a living and you don't think you're particularly strong at comedy, being by yourself or everyone else has the padding of a partner. So, bitch, if we suck, we suck together. We're going to talk to each other.
Monet X Change
I agree, I agree. But saying it as we're doing our makeup to go tell jokes is wild to me. To be like, yeah, girl, you might really bomb and just go home. Which also kind of happened. So I'm like, that is Wildfield. Lux was like, girl, woof. Don't want to be. You don't want to Be you would hate that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Be you. Yeah.
Jacob
Monet, does that seem like Bob the Drag Queen behavior to you?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, but, like, yeah, you should be.
Monet X Change
Bob doesn't.
Bob the Drag Queen
In, like a. In a. In a thing. Well, let me explain to you from my experience. In my experience, and I. Bob and I have been going on stage together, or we have something that we're gonna do. Bob is normally encouraging. On this podcast, I'm bullied in real life. In actual situations, he normally is a great person to have by. But on this podcast, he's a demon.
Monet X Change
Anyway, in a competition setting, why don't we ask people who actually competed with me who actually can compete? Cause you can't compete. Cause you don't. What? Compare. All right, let's keep moving on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait. It was hearing Mistress talk about her mom, and, like.
Monet X Change
Well, before we go into that. Before we go into the serious of that, I want to say one. Because I don't want to break out of that. I was shocked that Mistress uses eyebrow tattoos.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yes. I did notice that Vivian uses those, too.
Monet X Change
The Viv uses those, and so does Naomi. Well, she used them on me anyway when she did my makeup.
Bob the Drag Queen
I haven't seen a painting in a while, but on other people, maybe because she's as well. Also. You don't have. Well, I. Well, because she's Vivian Asha, the Mistress of Shade. And you don't have eyebrows, so you can just do it on their skin. I reckon it's hard to do it, but. No, they put makeup on.
Monet X Change
Top of makeup. Yeah. Or top of glue or something.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. I was shocked to see that as well. Bitch. That bitch. She be painting. I don't think I've ever painted that hard in a long time. You paint like that, too?
Monet X Change
I've never painted that hard in a long time.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, me, I said for me.
Monet X Change
Well, I'm just. That sentence. I'm trying to make it. I've never painted that hard in a long, like. You mean like, you haven't painted that hard?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I haven't.
Monet X Change
That's what I meant.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was gonna say I never paint that hard, but that's not true. I used to, and then I mixed married with. I haven't painted a hard in a long time.
Monet X Change
I don't think I do like. I mean, I do like a big eye. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to start putting more, like, white in my highlights. Sometimes I see these pageant girls that they put a little more. They put white in their highlight. Like black girls. They put, like, white in their highlight here. And, like, Logan Hardcore's best friend that passed away.
Monet X Change
Her name is Maddox Madison.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maddox Madison, like that. Maddox Madison, like, bright highlight. I want to try that. I think that might be my thing.
Monet X Change
Give it a shot. You never know. It might be calm. It is so sad to hear about mib's relationship with her mom. Did you watch Untucked by any chance?
Bob the Drag Queen
I did not watch Untucked.
Monet X Change
So fast forward. Her mother figure actually sent her a video. Her drag mother, Chevelle Brooks. Who is it? I gagged when I saw Chevelle Brooks on the screen. I was like, oh, my God, that's Chevelle Brooks. Sent her a beautiful message, a gorgeous message. And it really painted a really great picture of who Mistress is. And she said that she was bullied into being her drag mom. She said, there's some girl. They said there's some young girl in Texas telling everybody you're her mom. And she was like, I never met this girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. That's like Bob. Bob was walking around telling everybody in New York City that I was his daughter. And I was like, I didn't even know this.
Monet X Change
That is. That is not true. That is. That is not true. That is not true. I said, I have. I have always said I am your aunt. I have always said that your mother left you on my doorstep. I have never said you were my daughter. I would never have a disrespectful daughter like you. I would never raise a disrespectful child like you.
Bob the Drag Queen
One of those kids at home, be like, oh, I hate you. I can't wait to leave.
Monet X Change
It's also crazy that she, like, hasn't seen her mom talk to her mom since she was in the hospital with a broken ankle.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, Like, I'm just.
Monet X Change
I cannot imagine being in the hospital, like, writhing in pain and having someone show up, like, what are you wearing, bitch? What am I wearing?
Bob the Drag Queen
Blood and a cast. I'm wearing. I'm. I. I'm.
Monet X Change
I'm. I'm.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm wearing nuts and bolts in my fucking holding my shit together. That's what I'm wearing.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Let's go on to the show, shall we?
Bob the Drag Queen
I would say queer people, we had to go through so much. I mean, it is so crazy. And again, I. You know, I'm just talking about Mitch's mom. I'm just talking about in. We heard this, like, three twice already in the same season. Anetra story, like, how just for your kid, not hurting anyone, bitch, I am not harming Anyone. I'm just living my whole ass life and you never want to talk to me ever again for just. I am committing no harm.
Monet X Change
Well, to be fair, Mistress says she's not talking to her. I don't think Mistress said that her motto. Mistress said that she cut her out of her own life. She didn't say that her mom doesn't want to talk to her. She said she doesn't want to talk to her mom. Really? She didn't want the negativity in her life. Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, well, still, for all the people who do go through that, who can't talk to their families or their families, disown them just because they're just gay or they're trans or whatever. That shit is so crazy to me.
Monet X Change
I think Mistress is probably. And I'm assuming. But she said, I think Mistress is like protecting her peace by not being around a judgmental parent figure, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Right.
Monet X Change
So on the Runway, RuPaul's wearing a dress out of soda pop tabs, which I think is so cool.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't realize until they. They didn't make it. They didn't make a comment on it, did they?
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Until RuPaul sat down and like, well, through the judging, I was like, oh, shit, that's. Those are bubbly bottle, bubbly soda cap tags.
Monet X Change
Or they all bubblies.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I would, I assume, but RuPaul
Monet X Change
said, Pra duct placement, honey. RuPaul said, oh, we're getting the money this day, honey.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's very cool.
Monet X Change
This looks really cool. Yeah, I like this look. So let's go to each girl's set, shall we?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. First up, Marsha P. Johnson. I thought that Marsha was bad because she was decent in the rehearsals. And you're like, okay, from the rehearsals, you have more time to practice more jokes. But it just was not giving and I. It was not a good job done in this, in this, in this stand
Monet X Change
up comedy challenge I wrote down, I thought the on the television line was funny, but I don't remember what the joke was. There's something she said about being something on the, on television. Oh, she goes, hey, you ever learned that everyone in your life lies to you? I learned on television. That's what it was. I thought that was pretty funny. And I also thought her joke about being nervous in front of T.S. madison was funny too.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't remember that one. I don't remember that joke.
Monet X Change
She was like, girl, you got the, you got the girls shook. I'm. It's me. I'm girls. Something like that. And by. By girls nervous, I mean me. I'm very nervous around you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Yeah.
Monet X Change
I. What do you think is actually more of a critique for Michelle? Because I don't think that TS Madison is known for her harsh judging. She's actually really sweet. I think that Michelle is obviously the harshest judge, maybe followed by maybe Carson Kressley, maybe not Carson. I meant Ross Matthews.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think the other two are good.
Monet X Change
Michelle, like, judges you like harshly. And Ross always makes it sound like he's just disappointed in you. Like, Michelle's always like, girl, I don't like your shoes. And Ross is like, I really wanted you to do well. And you just. You didn't. You did a bad job. And that makes me sad. I don't want to go on anymore. Your dress was my 13th reason. I can't at all.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Roscoe is very disappointed.
Monet X Change
I was really looking forward to just being pleased by you doing a good job. But you. You didn't do that, did you? No, you didn't. You did a. You did a bad job, didn't you? Yeah, you did. You really did horribly.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that Marsha is. And I really wanted Marcia to do a good job because I'm like, really? I do like a little underdog story because she's not feeling confident in comedy. I was hoping for the best, but yeah, it wasn't giving.
Monet X Change
I don't think it was that bad, but it wasn't great. Going on to Lux London Noir and Lucille Laducil. Sasha was like, it's good. What great.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I did write about Marcia. Marcia, she had no air. She had. She had on these. When drag queens don't have earrings on, it really does drive me crazy. And she had on these, like, tiny, tiny, tiny little end up Q tips on her ears. I mean, you can't even see.
Monet X Change
It looks like.
Bob the Drag Queen
It looks like the queen is not finished getting dressed. They look like unfinished. And it was a bother.
Monet X Change
Do you say words that rhyme with here more than most people say it or do I just hear it so much because of your accent, I can't tell what it is.
Bob the Drag Queen
You asked me to say that.
Monet X Change
I feel like you say the word ear more than like, anyone I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just don't think that's true.
Monet X Change
I feel like you're always saying ear.
Bob the Drag Queen
Marsha's ears were bothering me that she never. She had those tiny earrings.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. You said ears. You said oh, my God. I never heard you say ears like that before.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my goodness. Anyway, then moving on to Luxx and Loosey and I thought they were split, blended together. The jokes were really well. They worked. So it was so good. I was so happy to see Luxx turning out this comedy challenge.
Monet X Change
I thought it was fine. Like, I don't remember, like, I don't remember, like, laughing. Laughing. I don't remember, like, laughing out loud. I think actually the most laughs I had were actually. We'll get there. But it wasn't during this set. But I do still think they did the best out of everyone. That being said, what was weird, though, was her talking about going to sleep, but do not bitch. If you go to sleep with white strips on your teeth, you will wake up. Your teeth will feel like gummy be.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, that. That joke was so funny.
Monet X Change
Do not go to sleep with white strips on your teeth.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought that shit. I thought it was very well done. I thought it was very smart. And what I liked most was their synergy. I thought that they were very synergistic. And when you're working with a.
Monet X Change
That is true. They had a great back and forth.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So to me, that really. And I think that's like half of this challenge. Yes. Coming with jokes, but working with someone else, to me, is a very big component of challenge, and I did that very well.
Monet X Change
I think what. What was really great they did was their. Their. Their introduction to Anitra was really funny. Like in these next two, one of them, she is a former Miss Continental. She is a literal queer icon. She is a goddess. And the other one is Anitra. That was probably the funniest line of the entire. Of the entire show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Yeah, I agree. And then Sasha and Anisha come out and they are not doing well.
Monet X Change
Wait, what? I don't think so. Okay, we. Okay, you do your assessment, then I'll do mine.
Bob the Drag Queen
What do you mean?
Monet X Change
We don't have the same experience? You should do your assessment of them, then I'll do mine.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, well, yeah, I think that Anetra and Sasha, I'm not enjoying what they're selling. I think they're trying to do a bit where they're stepping over each other. But.
Monet X Change
But.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I think it's like a bit in their thing, but to me, it's not coming across as planned. It seems too messy. And I wrote down. I did write down. I think that Sasha saved herself at the end by working in. And I don't know if it was off the cuff or she. They planned to say that, but the whole. The whole Yvie's dick and Michelle balls thing, that saved Sasha from being in the bottom. I think that. But up to that point, the set was not great and I did not enjoy it.
Monet X Change
I disagree. I thought they started off really strong. I really enjoyed their canned bits. So let's do a couple of canned bits. I enjoyed those a lot. I thought I went downhill when they started doing the stoner material. In my experience, most jokes about being a stoner just kind of aren't funny. I'm not saying you can't make funny jokes, but I just haven't heard a lot of great jokes. And the idea. I think people think it's just funny that people love weed. I just don't think loving weed is funny. And being like. Whenever people talk about loving weed, they're always like, make sure that you smoke weed. I love that weed, honey. The wee wee. The wee wee. Did the wee wee wee. Like, it's not funny to me. So I really love the beginning. I love the end. The middle was a big sag. It really sagged low like Michelle. That's funny. The middle had a really.
Shannon Maldonado
A really.
Monet X Change
A lot of. A lot of it just took a big dip while they were trying to make these weird jokes about being stoners. But they weren't. They weren't joke. They were just saying they love weed. That was the whole joke.
Bob the Drag Queen
If they were making jokes about their use of weed, it would have been funny. But just saying I like weed is not a. It's not a punchline.
Monet X Change
Yeah. And then Men in Black and Selena as titties. Selena did a really good job. Selena's really fucking every. She told so many great. There are so many great moments in that. Like, she didn't like. I think there was in her. And Mistress was that Selena had jokes within the story. There were a bunch of jokes within the story that made it really good. Whereas mistresses. The whole thing was like. There was a rhinestone in his dick. Get it?
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Selena, she took us on the entire journey of that song to building up to the story. It was great. There were so many moments in it that you can laugh at and hold onto things that you remember, you repeat later on. I think Selena did a really fucking good job. Work.
Monet X Change
If I gain weight, I can be the first big girl winner. I got like 20 more pounds and I'm the big girl first of all.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's how it works. If you yet to be a big
Monet X Change
girl when you won, you don't make the rules. You do not make the rules.
Bob the Drag Queen
Y' all comment below. Do you think that when you gain Weight later you become a big girl. Or do you owe me?
Monet X Change
If I get 40, 20 or 40 more pounds, bitch, I will be the. They'll be like, the no big girl. I'd be like, uh, look here, honey. Look here.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you were not big girl. You won the show.
Monet X Change
I agree. But I'm gonna be the first post win big. I'm gonna be the only big girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Caveat.
Monet X Change
It was post my win. But I will be the big girl. They'll be like, there's no big girl winners. Yeah, there is, honey.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, baby. We'll put a big ass asterisk on your plaque. A big girl. How many years? Over a decade after she won the show?
Monet X Change
Okay, so let's say Mistress won the show and then lost some weight. Is she no longer a big girl? Is she still a big girl winner?
Bob the Drag Queen
She will be our. She would have been the first big girl winner. But when we see her, she's like, she's lost weight now, but she's not big anymore. But she would always be the first big girl winner. That would be her title.
Monet X Change
Not if I gave him these 20.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, go off, do it.
Monet X Change
Not if I drink this mayonnaise, Mistress. Oh, I will drink before Mistress. Before the season finale. Check out. Check me out, honey.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do it like it's your B day.
Monet X Change
I feel like if I gained a lot of weight, my face wouldn't. Does my face gain weight? Kind of. Anyway, so let's keep. Let's keep on moving. Oh, yeah. I just. I thought that I did not like Mistress. It wasn't giving. It was not giving.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was not great. It really was not great. But, you know, I mean, two weeks in a row, we kind of seen Mistress struggle a little bit. She struggled last week and she struggled this week. She took an interview. She took it this week with comedy. I hope this is not the downfall of Mistress Isabel Brooks.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Is Ali Wong taller than TS Madison?
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what his pictures say, right? No, but she also has those giant platform boots on.
Monet X Change
Let's talk about these Looks so tatters, tears and torn.
Bob the Drag Queen
That was the thing of it.
Monet X Change
No, I mean, it's like shreds. And it's like. I can't remember the name of the Runway, but it's like shredded.
Bob the Drag Queen
Shredded. Yeah. Don't shred it. Something like that, Marcia.
Monet X Change
Now I believe it isn't.
Jacob
It ripped me to shreds.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah.
Monet X Change
I do not remember the name of it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Rip me to shreds. I thought that. Marcia's okay.
Monet X Change
They should have called it. If you stay Shredded, you ain't got to get shreddy.
Jacob
Runway is rip her to shreds.
Monet X Change
If you stay shredded, you ain't gotta get shreddy. You know, I just. I. I don't love this look because it's such a plain dress. And also, that's not how tears look. This looks like. Like, punk rock makeup. This is not. Tears don't look like that. Am I being too critical?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I think I agree. Tears. All you have to do is literally just take, like, a straw, put a little black thing, and let it just fall down your eye. Not like she looked like she did it. And she took the liquid line and was tracing it out and carving it out. Yeah, it looks like a crack in a stone or something.
Monet X Change
It looks like punk rock makeup to me. Like, Kiss would do this or something, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I think that she could have. She could have been more inventive with this category, especially after what Michelle said. Like, Lucy just did this the other day. But then also, like, the runways, what you brought. Right. Like, what more could she like? Unless she makes a brand new dress, which she sews. She makes all her clothes do it, so maybe she should have did something else. And why didn't she have shoes on?
Monet X Change
She had one shoe on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh.
Monet X Change
Cause the girls beat her up and they snatched her hair, ripped her dress, and she's crying.
Bob the Drag Queen
Got it.
Monet X Change
Yeah. This wasn't so. Like, a chunk of her hair is missing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why does she have two crowns? Oh, she put it on her head later on. Got it.
Monet X Change
Luxx, Noir. London. I love this London look. This look is so cool. I love that she did this RuPaul tribute. That's very smart of her. I. She looks amazing. This is great. I love this.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love the gap in her teeth. It's so cute.
Monet X Change
It's giving wee wee pole.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wee wee pole.
Monet X Change
Do you watch the Show Tamar? That's RuPaul's band that she used to have back in the day.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, got it. Yeah. I think she looks great. She looks really good. No notes. I think she looks great.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's go on to Miss Loosey Laduca. Now, I acknowledge that this outfit looks like it was very well made. Looks very cool. Something about this. I don't know.
Monet X Change
I don't like it either. I think it's the makeup. It's the makeup and the hair. It's the neck up.
Bob the Drag Queen
The neck up. Like, the neck down. It's great. The outfit is really fierce. But I don't understand. Like, I know she's doing, like, a bram stroker's kind of Dracula.
Monet X Change
But who is Bram Stroker?
Bob the Drag Queen
Bram Stroker.
Jacob
I thought she was doing what happened to Baby Jane.
Monet X Change
No, she said she's doing Nosferatu.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I thought it was Bam Stroker, Dracula. It's like a. It's like a certain type of Dracula. The old time Dracula.
Monet X Change
Well, she said I'm giving Nosferatu is what she said.
Bob the Drag Queen
Huh?
Jacob
It is giving. What happened to Baby Jane, though, right, with the white?
Monet X Change
I mean, kind of a little bit. I just don't like this makeup and I don't like this hair. And I appreciate the idea, but I do not care for this. Yeah, I think sometimes we're just going too far out of the box. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, she could have worn the dress, just not done the crazy makeup. And this hair.
Jacob
It's little pound cake. That's what it is.
Monet X Change
This hair. It is little pound cake. The hair got pound down.
Bob the Drag Queen
The hair looks so crazy. And the makeup looks.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God, Monet. This looks like that. When you used to tease those, like something you would have done back.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, it's not. I would never put my hair up like this. It was always back. Like an Afro. Not up like this.
Shannon Maldonado
No.
Monet X Change
I'm gonna find a picture. I'm gonna find a picture. I'm gonna. I'm going to scour the Internet because I'm going to find this and Jay, when I send it to you, so we're going to have. Yeah, this is definitely some old Monet shit. For sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's not.
Monet X Change
Yep. On 100.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah. It does give Lil pound cake. It looks like lil pound cake does Dracula for Halloween. Let's go on to Sasha, Colby. I thought this was really dope. You know, I love me some denim. Denim of diamonds.
Monet X Change
I love this look. It's so good. I love, love, love, love, love this look. Look.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I think she looks really great. I love. I love the gloves that she. Did Sasha make this? I don't remember. I don't know, but she looks really great.
Monet X Change
I love.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love the hair too. Make Having this little, like, head tie with, like, the hair coming out. I think she looks really. She looks great. I love this look.
Monet X Change
I love the little hip thing she did at the end that I. This look is so good. I love this look. Honestly, when Justin Timberlake and Kim and Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears did those denim on denim looks, they. They really reset the Internet. They really did. I really believe. Well, Internet, that was like a cultural reset. That was a big moment.
Bob the Drag Queen
I believe denim on Denim on denim on denim. Yeah. Tasha looks really good. She looks hot.
Monet X Change
Up next, let's go into Selena S. Titties. I think that. I think the. The critique that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. Michelle.
Monet X Change
Not Michelle.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was Michelle.
Monet X Change
It was Ali Wong.
Bob the Drag Queen
Was it?
Monet X Change
Yeah. She was like, I think the whole outfit should have made out of the. The.
Jacob
The.
Monet X Change
The blanket.
Bob the Drag Queen
That would have been. Because I'm not too sure what the material of her gown is supposed to be. It's supposed to be, like, shredded. I'm not too sure what it's supposed to be.
Monet X Change
I think it's just, like a ripped up. I think it's just like a ripped up dress. Like, just a dress that got ripped up, I think.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, okay. Yeah. I think it was all made out of the blanket material. It would have been really beautiful.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I agree.
Jacob
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I love her story with it. I read her story on her Instagram post and her mom. And rest in peace, her mom passed away last month to cancer. So it's a tribute to her mom and her mom.
Monet X Change
Her mom sent her a video in. In untucked as well.
Bob the Drag Queen
Shut up.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God.
Monet X Change
It was really.
Bob the Drag Queen
And she.
Monet X Change
And she said that her mother had stage four cancer. It was really touching and really hard to watch. I'm not gonna lie. Oh. Let's move on to Anetra. I love this. I love this too. This is some. There's some great runways out here. There's some, like, Luxx looks good. Sasha looks good. Anetra looks great. And I'm so glad that Anetra did not continue the smiling critique. Anetra has a great resting bitch face. Anetra has a fucking. I love Anetra's fucking resting bitch face. It looks so good to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I will say my only critique. You know, all I'm gonna say is I wish. And she's so. I know she could do this. I wish she would have gotten a boot. And she probably got normal sized feet, not big hoof feet like me. She could just cover a shoe, a boot in that same fabric and make it all one piece. It would have been a slam dunk, triple toot. Whatever. The shoe, the shoe is fine. But to make it like, to that next, like, bitch. This is literally the most perfect thing I've ever seen. Having a shoe covered in the same fabric and just pink. And this black would have been everything to me.
Monet X Change
Let's move on to men in black. I. This is my favorite look on the fucking Runway. This is very cool. Love this look. It is the silhouette, the way the gloves on the arm.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Monet X Change
This dress is amazing. I love it.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's so good. And I can't tell. So are they slee. I think they're sleeves and. And even if you check her armpit, I think they even put armpit thing to make it look, like, real. Do you see what I'm talking about?
Monet X Change
Yeah. I don't know what the tee is, but I know that I'm in.
Bob the Drag Queen
So good.
Monet X Change
I fucking love this. This is so good.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's so good.
Monet X Change
She looks like a million bucks. Oh, she looks like a million bucks. I was so happy to be looking at this outfit. I felt very lucky to be looking at. At this outfit. I was obsessed, and every time I watched you untucked, I was. Every time I look, I would look at it. I was like, how they doing these sleeves? Like, how. Like, how are these cut out?
Shannon Maldonado
I was.
Monet X Change
I just kept looking like, what is going on? How is this working?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, it's so well done. She looks fucking amazing. She looks really good. Perfect. I love it.
Monet X Change
I love it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who's your favorite look on the Runway?
Monet X Change
Mistress, for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. And least favorite?
Monet X Change
I'm gonna go with Marcia. How about you favorite and least favorite?
Bob the Drag Queen
Same favorite mistress, least favorite. Marcia. I don't like. I don't like Lucy Ladracula's look, but Marcia, at least she tried something.
Monet X Change
Well, I like aspects of Lucy's look. Like, Lucy's dress is great. I don't like her hair and makeup. I don't think I like any of the aspects of Marshall's look I don't like. This dress is just not cute.
Bob the Drag Queen
The pig Jacob shows of fucking Lucy. The picture on the right. I just can't. Can we please put that picture in the actual thing? I just cannot at this picture. She just looks good.
Monet X Change
Yeah, just send Jay the thing. All right, so let's go on to the judging. Oh, actually, I mean, so we find out. They're kind of judging in groups. So Lux and Lucy both win. So they are. They are literally still tied. Unless you count. Unless you count Lucy's mini challenge wins. They are tied for the same number of. By the way, the girls online are going wild by these mini challenge wins.
Bob the Drag Queen
Heidi is.
Monet X Change
Heidi's obsessed. Heidi is obsessed with the mini challenge wins.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, like, like, like. Like saying that they count as wins or.
Monet X Change
Yes, she's obsessed with it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I don't think they count as wins. I wouldn't say that.
Monet X Change
I'm just saying that she's obsessed with. Heidi's obsessed with counting many challenge wins as wins. But they are now tied. They are both. They're gonna hate this. They're tied for second place.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't wait to see the top next week episode.
Monet X Change
They're gonna hate that, honey. And we found out that the bottom two are Anitra and Marcia. Marcia. Marcia.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would agree with that. I think those were the two worst performances. I mean, maybe I would put. I would maybe put a difference between Anitra and Marcia, but I think. I'm sorry. I would. Maybe I could see a world where it's mistress and Anetra, but I think mistress's Runway was just so strong that it pushed out of the bottom.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I agree. I think that they got the bottom two correct. Can I tell you that my toxic trait is thinking that I could do, you know, that leap she does while Marsha's doing a beck bend. I feel like I could do that. I feel like I can do that.
Bob the Drag Queen
That fucking lip sync was one of the best we've had in a long time on the show. It was.
Monet X Change
I mean, the crazy thing is Marsha was not doing a bad job, but
Bob the Drag Queen
I know Anetra was.
Monet X Change
Went crazy when Marsha did that. Back Ben on the line. Back Ben till I first of all, this song they're doing, boss I your favorite song. Mon knows mon I y', all, this song is so good. When when do said I'm the after you've been the before I've been the stallion you've been a seahorse? Don't need the report? Don't need the press for all of my bat been all my best ones.
Bob the Drag Queen
It is such a good song. It really is. When that song comes on, she goes,
Monet X Change
I don't want to go, go go with the float back bend till I touch my toes I don't want to row, row, row the boat? Wrist full of rocks and I hope I float? Big up yourself. Cause you know they don't I choo choo choo. Cause they hope I choke like she is like, I love doja cat so much. Rapper planet her should have won best album. I don't care what anyone says. No shade to whoever won that year. It should have been planted her.
Bob the Drag Queen
It should have got.
Monet X Change
Definitely got more.
Bob the Drag Queen
It should have. I think that doja's cat planted her album should have gotten more critical acclaim because honestly, I mean, it got a.
Monet X Change
It got a Grammy nomination.
Bob the Drag Queen
What more but a win, like, I mean, I think not just at the Grammys. I'm talking about, like, at the amas and the Billboards. I think it deserved more cuz I listen to the album. You can listen to the album from top to bottom. There are so many great hits on that album. It's so good anyway.
Monet X Change
I agree. So good. The whole I'm tell right now, if I would have been on this show and I knew I was going to listen to that song, I'd have been like, first of all, Anitra is so cunty. Like when she said, I'm about to show you how it's done. I got so excited when she got. I can't remember what she said, but she said something as the lip sync started and I was like, everyone say goodbye to Marsha because she said something. She was like, I'm about to fucking send this bitch. Whatever. You know, one of my favorite lip syncs was when Raja said to
Bob the Drag Queen
the
Jacob
girl from Brooklyn, Scarlet Envy, everybody.
Monet X Change
Scarlet Envy. She goes, honey, it is about to be your last dance. Goodbye.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that Marsha did a really good job too, though. Marsha was Marshall. No, she did Anitra.
Monet X Change
No, I'm not toe to toe. Don't say that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Not toe to toe for momentum.
Bob the Drag Queen
Mara, go to toe to toe. I mean, but here's the thing though, with Anishra, I think Anishra did a fucking amazing job. We see her duck walk in every lip sync she's done. Marshall is giving us a little variety because we saw Marshall lip sync in the. The. The Lalaparuza. And again, not taken away. I think Anetra is amazing, but we have seen a lot of these same moves used over.
Monet X Change
That's kind of like Anisha has not decked. Anisha lip synced three times. One episode. She did not duck walk every single time. She has not every and every three of those.
Bob the Drag Queen
And all three Anisha duck walking all through those lip syncs. The one with Sasha, the one before with Jax, she duck walked in that. Yes, she did. She absolutely did. And again, I'm not taking away from that because, I mean, I get it, but I'm just saying with Marcia and. Because maybe we haven't seen Marsha lip sync as much. No, this is our third time seeing Marcia lip sync too. I think that Marsha gives us a little more variety and a little more fun. But I agree, Anitra was electric. She was like, she was so quick with her moves. And honestly, when Marcia did the back bend and she chose that moment to fucking barrel, whatever, a tuck and roll over her.
Monet X Change
That was a good thing to do. Yeah, it was really brilliant. I'll Be posting a video of me doing that. Monet, you'll do the back bend.
Bob the Drag Queen
The hell I will. You're not taking me out of here.
Monet X Change
You will.
Bob the Drag Queen
The only person that brought me into this world is. They don't take me out is my mama. You. Absolutely not. You just say you're not my mother.
Monet X Change
So no, you will be back bending and I will be leaping over you. And this is not up for debate.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just see this eye, Backman. This nigga just this nigga. Big ass hand. Just take me the fuck off my head. Foot hook me over.
Monet X Change
No. Do you think you could do that wrong? I can.
Bob the Drag Queen

Monet X Change
Yeah, Lucy's. Lucy's going off pitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Pitch. Letting them have it every week, girl. So that. That may be a tough sell for them, but the other girls, I mean, you know, it's all good. It's all gravy, baby.
