All.
Bob The Drag Queen
Booking stays with Airbnb has changed the game. When I go on tour, I love having extra space to spread out, and it's those extra, like, everyday comforts, you
Monet X Change
know what I mean?
Bob The Drag Queen
Like sitting at a real kitchen table or having a cozy living room that makes it all the different.
Monet X Change
Traveling this way just feels more authentic and human. So glam up your trip by using Airbnb to find an amazing place to stay. This is Sibling Wotery, where we recap episode A Little More Drag Race.
Bob The Drag Queen
And y', all, I'll ask one question someone Wayne Wind asks, is there anything that would make Bob, is there anything that would make you break your sobriety? Yeah, that one guy's ugly mom. Okay.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God.
Bob The Drag Queen
His ugly. If I had to look at his ugly mom any longer, that would make me break my sobriety because of how ugly his mom is. Where?
Monet X Change
This is silly. Watch. This is not Sibling Rose three, where
Bob The Drag Queen
we rose to that one guy's ugly mom.
Monet X Change
Some of our rude patrons. This is silly Wisery where we recap episodes of Ru Paul's Draggery Season 18. And y', all, we're at the grand finale of season eight. What would break my sobriety? That guy's ugly.
Bob The Drag Queen
She's ugly.
Monet X Change
We have a rumble jacket. This is the grand finale. Bob, we're at the end of the season. How do you feel at the end of the season?
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah. Well, we're gonna start off with spoiler alerts. Obviously, if you are watching this, I'm assuming you've either watched Drag Race or you found out. So I just wanna start off with a big congratulations to the newest inductee into the RuPaul's Drag Race winner circle, which is Mikey Meeks.
Monet X Change
Mikey motherfucking Meeks.
Bob The Drag Queen
I'm really happy that Mikey Meeks won and, like, big congratulations to her. I mean, the interesting thing about the interesting about, like, the finales is that, like, there isn't. It's really mostly, like, a review of looks and, like, a few numbers. There's no. There's no moments. There's no like, back and forth. It's just, like. It's a showcase of, you know, where you.
Monet X Change
This season for the girls. Yeah.
Bob The Drag Queen
On your journey this season.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob The Drag Queen
So I think we should just go. I mean, we can. Before we get into the looks, we can Talk about the fact that RuPaul came out and performed this number. By the way, she looks amazing.
Monet X Change
She looks great. But the fact that they try to trick the audience and comments. Can y' all in good chat and I'll sign up. Do y' all think RuPaul performed that song in front of the audience that was there?
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't even try to. Because they didn't even show a picture of the audience.
Monet X Change
No, but you hear the audience wooing the whole time, clapping. Woo.
Bob The Drag Queen
Well, they're not gonna cut off the audience applause.
Monet X Change
But if they weren't there, like RuPaul, you can just do a music video that the audience is not. Is not sharing. They're sharing that the audience is there watching him doing.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, I mean, I don't. I don't.
Monet X Change
I don't think.
Bob The Drag Queen
I mean, maybe someone thought. But I watched. I was like, I don't think RuPaul's performing from this audience. But, I mean, as we know, she has performed for an audience before. I mean, she did it at the. At the finale with Simone. She did a number in that finale with Simone in front of all those cars and stuff.
Monet X Change
Did she? Yeah.
Bob The Drag Queen
Wasn't it the finale where they were all, like, in cars because it was locked down? No. Yes. I think Simone won, and they were, like, in the cars, I believe. Am I. Am I crazy?
Monet X Change
I don't remember that. If I. If I. That happened. I don't remember that. When I tell you. Oh. At all.
Bob The Drag Queen
I might have been making it up, but
Monet X Change
I thought RuPaul looked good when he. When she was doing her little Vogue moment, her noging section.
Bob The Drag Queen
She was like, no ging down.
Monet X Change
But you know what? RuPaul can know, because, y', all. RuPaul was. Was RuPaul ever. I don't think he was ever in the ballroom scene, but obviously. Yeah, but RuPaul was in this. He lived in New York City at the time of Ballroom. He was there in the early 90s, like, late 80s.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't know. Maybe. I don't think. I don't.
Monet X Change
He was. He was. RuPaul left Atlanta in 1990. I don't know if she was in
Bob The Drag Queen
the ballroom scene, though.
Monet X Change
I don't know. Jada's season was in the parking lot, not Simone's season.
Bob The Drag Queen
They said Jada. Okay.
Monet X Change
No, no, Jada. That's not true. They were on Zoom for Jada. What y' all talking about?
Bob The Drag Queen
But Jada was on Zoom. That's 100% true. Jada was definitely on Zoom.
Monet X Change
Yeah, she won on Zoom. For sure. But it was. Anyway, whatever.
Bob The Drag Queen
Something about Simone when I feel like it was outside.
Monet X Change
It was outside. I think you're right. They were on, like, it was like an outside stage because her rose and Gottmik, they all did their runways on stage. It was outside. That is correct. Jacob, can you bring it up? Like, pull up a picture? Because now that Bob is saying it, it's ringing bells for me now. The season 13 finale. Yes.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
I also just was in contact with one of my friends who was out the season 18 live filming. They did not see RuPaul perform live.
Bob The Drag Queen
Oh, I. Oh, I. Girl.
Monet X Change
I know.
Bob The Drag Queen
Oh, the 18. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's. I feel like we pretty much confirmed that.
Monet X Change
Yeah. So can we. Shall we talk about these. These opening girls looks?
Bob The Drag Queen
Let's talk about it. So we'll start off with Dede Fuego, who. I think she looks really stunning. She's giving very cha cha cha Latina. That's crazy. For such a.
Monet X Change
Is this cha cha cha Latina?
Bob The Drag Queen
I mean, she got the flowers in her hair, and they're going up the dress. She looks Tamisha. Look. Mexican hair.
Monet X Change
That is true. Valentina did her hair. It's called, like, her Kinoshi or. I forget what she said. Kenosha. She said on my thing about. And she. That's like a thing in Mexican culture. You're right. That is a Mexican thing.
Bob The Drag Queen
So she was cha cha cha Latina after all. She lied.
Monet X Change
Didi loves to be a bride. What do you mean? Does she wear bridal? She doesn't wear bridal stuff a lot.
Bob The Drag Queen
Maybe she does it back online. Her name is. Is it dd, like the letters D? I think it's letter D. And letter D. It's not D, I, P. Yeah, yeah.
Monet X Change
Yes. There's the letter D. Letter D. Dee Deega.
Bob The Drag Queen
But yeah, that's. I think she looks. Yeah. Simone, please. I am obsessed with her saying, I'm not a cha cha cha cha Latina. I don't know why. That is just so funny to me. Something about it just really tickles me. I don't know why. It's just so funny. Also, y' all can see me on the Pit Stop with Bianca del Rio, the Grandmama Latina. It's a really fun episode, too. So y' all, check it out. It's a really fun episode.
Monet X Change
Dee's eyebrow doesn't attach to her nose. What are you talking about?
Bob The Drag Queen
Are you talking to me?
Monet X Change
No. Someone comments, and they said how her eyebrow attaches to her nose is her contour.
Bob The Drag Queen
It looks like her Contour could just continue into her eyebrow. I think maybe I gotta do that a little bit.
Monet X Change
Like, not, like, fully, but, like, that is kind of how you do, like, do that.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, maybe. I don't know.
Monet X Change
Yeah, let's go on.
Bob The Drag Queen
But do you like it?
Monet X Change
I like it. I like her dress. Sorry, Jacob. We can go back. I like her dress. It is giving very bridal. I like this, like, asymmetrical gathering on one side. And I do. I do like it.
Bob The Drag Queen
We can go on to Philly's very own first responder, Mandy Mango. Did you change the slide, Jake, or am I crazy?
Monet X Change
No, she looks great. I like it.
Bob The Drag Queen
Wait, y'. All. Oh, did it slide?
Monet X Change
I'm. I'm kidding. I was.
Bob The Drag Queen
You know, she. She looks fantastic. It looks like she's doing some sort of a. A nod to her culture, I believe.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I kind of. If I'm not mistaken, that's the. Philip. That's the. The Philippines flag she's wearing. Correct.
Bob The Drag Queen
A Filipino flag. No, Filipino flag is red, white, and blue.
Monet X Change
Yeah, it's behind her. Is a flag behind her.
Bob The Drag Queen
Oh, how do you see. How do you see behind this bitch?
Monet X Change
Because I watched the episode.
Bob The Drag Queen
I watched it too, but I guess I don't remember that part. Can I ask a question? Like, obviously, there's nothing wrong with nodding to your culture. You know, I did nods to my African heritage on the show, and I did nods to my African American heritage on the show as well. But, like, I feel like it's now really prevalent amongst people, like, on Drag Race. I mean, obviously, Bibi Zahra Renee started it off on season one with a lot of nods to her culture, but I feel like it's, like, really big now to, like, nod to your culture on Drag Race.
Monet X Change
I think it's a reflection of the times. I think that, you know, and we live in a country where we feel like everyone's culture is on attack, and everyone's culture has been maligned and marginalized, so people feel the need to express it more and be very in your face about it. And also, I think sometimes. Sometimes people cop to a cultural look because they feel like, oh, people won't read them, because if you read the. If you read the look, you're reading the culture, and you won't do that.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah. Also, just to be clear, y', all, I. I did. I obviously watched the show. I watched it with Bianca Del Rio. There's a whole Pit Stop where I watched this sitting there next to her. But, yeah, I think it is interesting that. I think there's Two. It's twofold. I think that. One, yes. A lot of people are, like, connecting to their culture as marginalized people. And I also feel like. Do you think there's a part that's like, they won't say anything if. Do you think that's a thing, bitch?
Monet X Change
I literally just said that. What do you mean?
Bob The Drag Queen
That's what I just said. No, that's what I'm saying. Like, do you. That's what I'm saying.
Monet X Change
Like, do you.
Bob The Drag Queen
You really think that's, like, a thing? Because they. By the way, they have been like, this is cultural and it's ugly. I've seen that on Drag Race. I love. They go.
Monet X Change
I love. They.
Bob The Drag Queen
They always start saying, I love that you're celebrating your culture.
Monet X Change
Yeah, no, I 100%. I 100% think people feel like, oh, if I do a culture thing, it can, like. Like, they won't read me as bad. It'll soften a little bit. Even though they have. I. I definitely think people. People go and do that, 100%.
Bob The Drag Queen
But she looks absolutely stunning. This is not to take away from this, because she looks absolutely beautiful. And I will say, I don't love this necklace, but I love this headpiece. Y' all know I love hair slicked back into a bun. That's my motherfucking number. I haven't done it a long. I should go back to doing my little buns.
Monet X Change
I haven't done my bun in a while.
Bob The Drag Queen
I haven't done it since I did that. My last Bun was at Mr. Event with me, and when I was wearing that blue.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, yeah, that blue dress.
Bob The Drag Queen
That's the last time I did one.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I remember that.
Bob The Drag Queen
Go on. So up next, we have the one and only Lil Miss Fall down herself.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. I like this look. I thought this was a cool look. It's like, I like this a lot. I like having the mask in front of her. That was her makeup and her glam. I thought Briar looked great. This is a really great look for her.
Bob The Drag Queen
Did her hip pads grow?
Monet X Change
She. She definitely, like, double padded. Like, her hips, bitch. Those are. Those are childbearing hips on this bitch, right?
Bob The Drag Queen
Like. Like, yeah, I feel like something like. I feel like her padding during. During the competition was really, like, on point and, like, so proportion, but now it just. It's like it grew. She got new pads, and I don't know if you guys know when you get. When you get new pads. They kind of like your old pads have. Like, you don't realize it Until. Until you, like, get new and they have squished down so much over time, your dimensions start changing. And then you wash them and put them in the dryer, which by the. Put your pads in the dryer. Let them. It will. They. They. Mine have torn in the dryer, so I have to let mine air wash for like, days at a time. But now I don't wash them anymore. Now I just spray them with alcohol and tea tree oil.
Monet X Change
Tea tree oil them damn pads in the washer.
Bob The Drag Queen
No, if you. If you spray them. Spraying them with alcohol cleans it. It's. It's like a d. What do you call it? It's a sanitizer. Alcohol is a sanitizer.
Monet X Change
You don't even sweat that much. Why do you have to wash them that much anyway?
Bob The Drag Queen
Spraying them and keep them. I'm just sanitizing. I mean, I'm just. I just take them on. I just pray them when I'm done. When I'm done with my show. You know,
Monet X Change
Johnny Sex yelled and said the fall doll. The fall doll is wild.
Bob The Drag Queen
Her favorite season's coming up is. You'll love her is fall. She looks good, though. Let's go over to the. To the next queen. Oh, just so you're watching this right now, I want you guys to know that you can. If you want to watch live with us, you can join us on our patreon at the top tier. And we allow our cool aunts and stepdads to watch the. The review with us of each episode of Watchery. And maybe. Maybe we'll do some extra ones in the future too. You never know. You said. Did you say hate? Is that what you said? Hate?
Monet X Change
No, I love this. I thought Sierra missed killed this. I thought it looks really good. So I thought it was a nod to the Chimera because it's the Chimera here, the Alexander McQueen Chimera. But Jay to fail was like. No, it's from. It's she Ra or something from. From Conan the Barbarian or some shit. Sorceress. No, Sorceress from he Man. He's a. Is a sorceress from. I think it's a mix between the sorceress from He man and the Chimera from McQueen. Oh, this is also Mystique's Met Gala.
Bob The Drag Queen
Look, I thought Chimera was Mugler.
Monet X Change
Oh, Mugler. Sorry, Mugler. Sorry. Sorry. You're right. Wait, Mystique, like the X Men. Sorry, it's not the Mecca. X Men has something called the Hellfire Gala, which is the X Men equivalent of the Meta Gala. Yeah. And it's what Mystique wears the. The Hellfire Gala. It's similar. It's. It's similar.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah. I think she looks really nice. This is a beautiful garment. I wonder if she made it herself. Oh, yeah, it does look like that.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Looks like that.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah. I think she looks really, really nice. And I love this, like, royal blue and white color. I mean, I wear this blue a lot. I was wearing it with yellow for a long. I was really into my blue and my, like, royal blue yellow era for a hot second. This is Mr. Blue. It is very much Mr. Blue. Is she sponsored?
Monet X Change
No, she's not sponsored. I don't know. Can I tell you, I'm surprised you haven't seen that. A company sponsor girl for the Mr. Mr. The people at Mr. Y' all niggas got money to spend. If y' all want some advertising, y' all pick. Find out which queen makes it to the well. I guess you can. You don't know that, but sponsor a girl's package, their entire package has to be Mr. Blue from beginning to end. It will cause a scene. It will cause a stir. It'll be great marketing for them advertising.
Bob The Drag Queen
Maybe the sun sponsored Tina Burner. That's why she was wearing all those colors that one season. I don't know. The son probably got a lot of money. Crayton says, I just hate her lips. I'm sorry. To be honest. They're growing on me. They're growing on me.
Monet X Change
I said from the beginning I hated his lips. If she just had regular fucking lips, this would have been a 10 out of 10. The lips bring it to a fucking nine for me. Like, just do regular lips. We've seen them. Like, this time, do a fucking regular lip, girl. But I love Ciara's drag. I think she's very creative. I think her drag always looks expensive, and I think she looks great. But this fucking lip, I hate this. I hate. To quote. Oh, God. Well, to quote, she what shall not be named. I hate, hate, hate this lip makeup.
Bob The Drag Queen
Are you wearing nails? I took my nails off.
Monet X Change
I am. I kept mine on, girl. I was fighting. I was like, ty, I'm taking it. He's like, no, keep them on. I was like, ugh. I was like, bob's gonna keep his on, and then I'm gonna feel bad. But look, look, you did it.
Bob The Drag Queen
No, I took mine off. Let's go with our next girly pop. Up next we have the one Vita Fontes star.
Monet X Change
When she turned that corner and those stage lights Hit her. I literally gasped in my thing. I was like, this is the best she's ever looked. I think this outfit and dress and this headpiece was stunning on Vita Von Teese. I'm obsessed. I want this. This was amazing to me.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, she looks absolutely stunning. I mean, I'm so mad that now I can't do this look. Cause it'd just be stealing. Like, she looks so, so, so good. I genuinely love these gigantic, gigantic rhinestones.
Monet X Change
These huge.
Bob The Drag Queen
A lot of people just go for the small ones. And I think that it's really nice that she went for these big ones. They are so metrically placed. Her makeup looks stunning. I feel like she's wearing the. I will say this. I can't do the. The face mask thing. My face is too big. Like, my face is, like spilling out of it. Like, I don't. I don't have a enough face to not have my face look like it's protruding from the mask. But this looks really good on her. This is absolutely stunning. This is the best look of the entire season, actually.
Monet X Change
I agree. I love it so much. The only thing I would do is. I don't know what this. This.
Bob The Drag Queen
This.
Monet X Change
This some tacky Southerner shit. Why she wanted a white cape. The cape should have been black.
Bob The Drag Queen
Someone said, can we acknowledge this is a copy of Beyonce on the magazine cover? What magazine cover? Can you look that up, Jake?
Monet X Change
I mean, no, this is Bianca. Beyonce did something similar for her tour. But, I mean.
Bob The Drag Queen
And I have a sneaking suspicion Beyonce saw it. Whoever Beyonce's designer was saw it somewhere. Cause I would tell you right now, in my opinion, queens can steal from. Because the pop star has been stealing from the queens maybe since day one. Maybe these pop stars been up in these nightclubs mopping our looks, mopping our numbers, mopping our everything. So, you know what? If a queen wants to borrow just a smidge from a pop star, it's just recycling back. It's like water. It's like water raining up and then, you know, evaporating up and then raining down, you know?
Monet X Change
And what is that. What is that process called?
Bob The Drag Queen
Evaporation? Precipitation. You have any algunas?
Monet X Change
But no. What's that. What's that. What's that entire process called? Rain, fall, evaporation. Then what's that called?
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't know. What is it called?
Monet X Change
I forgot to. I don't know, but I know it's called something. What is it called? It's called the water cycle. No, it's. There's a word for it. It's like a one word for it. It's like. It's a long word. It's called mythosophilization or some shit, I don't know.
Bob The Drag Queen
But she looks stunning. This is the best look of the entire season, quite frankly. This episode is sponsored by Airbnb. I've been having so much fun partnering with them because between drag gigs, filming
Monet X Change
and touring, I'm always on the move.
Bob The Drag Queen
And hotel life can be pretty draining. I'm serious, y'.
Monet X Change
All.
Bob The Drag Queen
Booking stays with Airbnb has changed the game.
Monet X Change
When I go on tour, I need
Bob The Drag Queen
a home base that actually feels like a home. I love having extra space to spread out. And it's those extra, like, everyday comforts,
Monet X Change
you know what I mean?
Bob The Drag Queen
Like sitting at a real kitchen table or having a cozy living room to decompress in that makes it all the
Monet X Change
different, you know what I mean?
Bob The Drag Queen
Plus, chatting with hosts gives you that local perspective you just can't get anywhere else. It makes me feel connected to the neighborhood instead of just passing through it.
Monet X Change
So three years ago, I had a fabulous birthday in Malibu booked through Airbnb. And y', all, I'm telling you, it was a house overlooking this mountain in Malibu. All my friends came, the pool was gorgeous. We had. It was this palatial estate. Like, I felt like I was living life the way I meant to live life. It was so luxurious, so grand. And Airbnb made this experience the mother tucking tea. Maybe I should do it again this year. Hmm? Traveling this way just feels more authentic and human. So glam up your trip by using Airbnb to find an amazing place to stay.

She looks incredible.
Bob The Drag Queen
And did Beyonce wear this big hat? Like, did Beyonce's hat on?
Monet X Change
No. Jacob, can you pull up the picture from Bianca? Beyonce on Renaissance? Big diamond look. Hers was a halter, though. It was just a column gown halter. It wasn't sleeves or headpiece or cowboy.
Bob The Drag Queen
I would say to all the swifties in Beehive, y' all have to calm down. You are making people annoyed at your favorite pop star. Everybody. You have. Yeah, I was like, calm down, calm down.
Monet X Change
This is. This is what I found really quickly. And.
Bob The Drag Queen
But you can kind of see it. Oh, okay.
Monet X Change
Yeah. That is. That is a Beyonce. That is a Beyonce. That's the same thing.
Bob The Drag Queen
That's the same thing. That is. That.
Monet X Change
Okay. I thought it's the one from the Renaissance store, anyway, but that's beside the point. Let's go on to Mia.
Bob The Drag Queen
This is a mess. Mia mess.
Monet X Change
This is wild.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't understand what is happening.
Monet X Change
I don't know what I think she's like a starry night.
Bob The Drag Queen
What you. A starry night one time.
Monet X Change
Was that. Oh, yeah. The light of Runway. Oh, you remembered.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, I remember a lot of things you do. Her makeup looks really pretty, though. I do like her makeup and her eye makeup. I do think her hair should be a little bit bigger. Like, if you're gonna call yourself a big bag, well, bitch have big hair too. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
Yeah, I. I didn't love this. It looks a bit hodgepodgey. Like, the two mixing. The mixing. I think this velvet with the spandex arms and the sequin, like, skirt part. It was just too many mixing too many materials. And then having this, like, starry, strappy shoulder to hide the breastplate. I know why she did it so wide to hide the breastplate. And then this, like, sash moment. It was just a lot. It was. It was. It was. It was a lot of ideas here.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, I don't love this one. We can move on.
Monet X Change
Boobs do look good. I agree. The chest. The titty plate does look good.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah. It's covered quite nicely.
Monet X Change
Yeah. But everything else is, like, we can
Bob The Drag Queen
move on to the next One. We now have Athena Dion Love. What's that? What is this her? What's up with her hairline?
Monet X Change
I mean. What do you mean, what's up with it?
Bob The Drag Queen
She's so far forward. Is that. That's not her real hair. It's so far forward.
Monet X Change
No, Bob, she's wearing a wig.
Bob The Drag Queen
No. Like, on the sides, it's like. It's, like, all the way.
Monet X Change
I think the wig is just too long. She could have. She could have standed by pulling it back a little bit. But. But overall, that being said, I do like this look. I like this. This hair was long. Went down to, like, past her butt. It was a big old long wig. And I think for the finale, I think she showed. I think she looks nice.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, this is. This is a totally fine look. I'm not. I'm not upset by anything. The more I look at her makeup, I'm like, this is. Her makeup is kind of wild.
Monet X Change
I've said this from weeks, weeks and weeks and weeks. The bottom. The bottom wing is so crazy.
Bob The Drag Queen
Like, I think what's happening is, like, it's not following. Like, it's not following a trajectory like the. I don't know. I don't know. It's. It's. It's wild.
Monet X Change
You see, Morphine painted her. She looked. Morphine painted her. She looks beautiful.
Bob The Drag Queen
Morphine. You call her Morphine?
Monet X Change
No. Morphine painted her.
Bob The Drag Queen
I love. You call her Morphine. Morphine.
Monet X Change
Morphine.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah. She's Morphine.
Monet X Change
It's not Morphine. It's Morphine.
Bob The Drag Queen
Her name is Morphine?
Monet X Change
Yes. Yeah.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't know if that's.
Monet X Change
No, that's 100% true. I'm not doing a bit. Morphine Love Dion.
Bob The Drag Queen
I like that name a lot less now. Is it spelled differently?
Monet X Change
No.
Bob The Drag Queen
Than the word morphine? No, it's spelled. It's just spelled like the regular word. Morphine.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob The Drag Queen
But she pronounces it Morphine.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Morphine Love Dion.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't believe y'. All now. I don't believe you. Ain't. No, I don't believe you now. You. It was spelled, like, differently, and then I would have listened to you, but now that y' all are saying it's like this. No, I don't believe you anymore.
Monet X Change
Jay just said it, too. So Jay lying, too. No, I'm on Team Bob.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't believe y'. All.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob The Drag Queen
I think she says my name is Morphine. Dia of Leon. Morphine Love Dion.
Monet X Change
She absolutely does. Morphine like the drug.
Bob The Drag Queen
No, it's Morphine, not Morphine.
Monet X Change
Oh, that's a surprise. Okay, I would say.
Bob The Drag Queen
I'd say morphine. Yeah, you and I are both saying morphine. Monet is saying morphine.
Monet X Change
Okay, I said morphine.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yes, and I'm saying morphine. You don't hear the difference? You're emphasizing Feene. I'm emphasizing more. It's morphine.
Monet X Change
Okay, thank you, Grace.
Bob The Drag Queen
Put it morphine. You're saying morphine. Does anyone hear the difference what I'm saying?
Monet X Change
Someone said t. Really don't hear it. Maybe I'm just tired. Just late. You're adding a syllable. Morphine.
Bob The Drag Queen
She's not adding a syllable. She's just emphasizing. She put the wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable. Morphine versus morphine.
Monet X Change
Morphine. Morphine. Okay, but you also say morphine love. Diondi. Exactly.
Bob The Drag Queen
No, I say morphine love Dion, not morphine love. Dion.
Monet X Change
Morphine love Dion. Stop mopping your wig like that.
Bob The Drag Queen
Clear it up. Yeah, Grace. It said clear it up, Bob. Clear it all the way up.
Monet X Change
Can we move on from this? Damn.
Bob The Drag Queen
Can we move on? Can. I can't even do it.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob The Drag Queen
This is Wakanda for never.
Monet X Change
What? The girl. It was, too. And I love Kenya. I love Kenya.
Bob The Drag Queen
She is.
Monet X Change
She's really like a. This was too. I don't know what. My eyes don't know where to even settle on this outfit.
Bob The Drag Queen
I am so Dora Milaje. Walked through the. Dude, through the jewelry store, got caught on some shit. This is
Monet X Change
mama.
Bob The Drag Queen
This is garbage.
Monet X Change
This is garbage bad.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't know what's happening.
Monet X Change
I can't tell you what's happening, girl. I cannot tell you. I am lost. I need a map to look at this. Look. I need somebody to give me a map. Sierra Mist helped design this? Yes.
Bob The Drag Queen
Sierra Mist did her dirty. Honey.
Monet X Change
No, but the sketch is way better than whatever.
Bob The Drag Queen
Well, maybe we can see this sketch. Maybe this is. It did not come through. Someone's. Emmett Fred. Emmett Fry said. Remember when y' all said Kenya was gonna win?
Monet X Change
Girl, she couldn't even walk in this. She was walking so trepidatiously. She was, like, boot scooting, like, a centimeter at a time because she. Her brain can't even. Her brain is still processing this. Look. This hair is crazy.
Bob The Drag Queen
Someone said Kenya tried to make it cultural so she wouldn't be red as a party. Bitch, put some lines on my arm. I don't know what they mean. Bitch, put some lines in my arm. This shit ugly as hell. Bitch.
Monet X Change
Well, you know. So I thought that this was filmed. I thought it was, like, all. I don't know why. I think everything's like All Stars 10. Well, that's how the finales used to happen. For all you new drag racers who have been watching for the past two seasons, they now they do this, the finale, like, during the regular season before. From seasons. Well, seasons eight or seven or no, seasons four to current to 14. They did them years later. Years later, 15 was the last one
Bob The Drag Queen
they did live Jesus.
Monet X Change
The seasons four through 15, they did the finale, like, months after. So the girls had time to work, get some more money, see themselves on tv, and then come back. But these girls are doing this finale as the season is like, as they take the original season. So that's why we're not seeing so much growth sometimes in these finale looks.
Bob The Drag Queen
Someone said the chains literally give me anxiety now. This is wild. This is really wild. Someone said, did you notice? Someone said, did y' all notice she had a choker on underneath all them gold chains? There's a lot going on. This is. There ain't no way this bitch getting through airport security.
Monet X Change
Let's go on to the next look.
Bob The Drag Queen
All right, now we have Discord Adams. I love this look. She looks absolutely amazing to me.
Monet X Change
This safety pin capelet cape is really cool.
Bob The Drag Queen
It can be a little longer. The cape could have touched the ground. But I mean, when it's all covered in safety pins, I can see you. I can see someone being like, I'm done.
Monet X Change
And she should have. I don't know why this bitch refuses to put a corset on to snatch her waist. Like, good for her. But, oh, she does have a corset on. Go tighter, bitch. Why are you straight up and down? Why are you just a pole?
Bob The Drag Queen
Because she doesn't wear pads. Some of the girl. You can't tell the skinny girls. You can't tell them nothing.
Monet X Change
Skinny girls hate to see a pad coming. But I do like this outfit. I love her hair. I think her hair is really cool. And I think Detox. I think Discord is one of my favorite queens this season. I love her attitude, her energy and everything, but bitch, put on a pad or get. Get a tighter corset. One of the two.
Bob The Drag Queen
This looks like something Lady Gaga would actually wear. Someone say Lady Gaga. It is a giving. Very much Lady Gaga.
Monet X Change
I can see that.
Bob The Drag Queen
I will say, too, that y'. All. This is why you guys. You can't believe everything you read on Reddit. I remember when she called RuPaul a nigger and. And then. And then flipped the table and then held Hitler and then drew a swastik on the wall and then said Trump 2026. Like, y' all can't believe everything you see on the Internet, y'. All.
Monet X Change
You know, apparently there's a. There's a Maga Queen on season 19 right now.
Bob The Drag Queen
Is there?
Monet X Change
Right? Allegedly.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't.
Monet X Change
Who. I, I. That's the rumor, but we don't know how true it is.
Bob The Drag Queen
All right, let's go into our next contest or our next queen. We have Jane. Don't.
Monet X Change
I love this. I love everything about this. Besides that fucking dragonfly hanging from her nose in her face that. I hated that everything else was flawless. I love this dress. The thing, the red at the bottom. We're mixing her red hair. This. I love everything. That fucking dragging in her mouth was driving me crazy.
Bob The Drag Queen
Did you like that? I agree. I agree with you. A red wig and a gold dress. I do think I actually really like this look. But, like, why a giant septum ring covering your mouth?
Monet X Change
I don't know.
Bob The Drag Queen
Like, what's, What's. What's happening?
Monet X Change
I don't know. I do not know. But I hate.
Bob The Drag Queen
I hate the Lambs reference. Johnny Sexy Elder says it is a Silence of the Lambs reference.
Monet X Change
I guess I give a. Why, why, why Silence of the Lambs?
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Maybe it was her favorite movie. I don't. I don't know. I mean, maybe it's not. Maybe the person just saying that. I don't. I don't love it, though.
Monet X Change
I will say this one.
Bob The Drag Queen
On the COVID of Samson, there's a moth over someone's mouth.
Monet X Change
A moth. Yeah, I know.
Bob The Drag Queen
Maybe she killed someone.
Monet X Change
Maybe.
Bob The Drag Queen
Maybe she said she killed the season and wore its skin. I don't know.
Monet X Change
I mean, if she wore this, then it should have been like a skin gown. But I don't think that can't be the reference. Yeah. I loved everything about this. I think Jane has given us flawless drag the entire season. So I'm not shocked by this. I just hate that fucking dragonfly in her mouth.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, I agree. We can move on.
Monet X Change
This is a finale. What part of the understanding. Take that thing off your mouth.
Bob The Drag Queen
This is Jane. This is the finale. We need to see your mouth. She looks like hey, hey, Hey, hey, from Moana.
Monet X Change
You know, I like this at first. Now I don't know if I like this headpiece thing. I like the gown from, like, the neck down, but I do not like this headpiece. Like, bitch, put on a fucking wig.
Bob The Drag Queen
You know, the thing about her Headpieces is. At first you like them, but you remember, like, her clown headpiece. The longer you. The first look, you're like, ooh, the one that looked like. Like, balding clown hair.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah.
Bob The Drag Queen
Like, at first you're like, ooh, it's cute. But then the more you keep looking, you'd be like, bitch, what you got on your head?
Monet X Change
Like, yeah, put a fucking wig on. Put a wig on.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't think I'm into dresses that are completely covered in feathers. I think I've made my mind up now that I'm. I'm kind of over this. This actually is a. It seems like a nod to McQueen, and I'm over the McQueen birds of prey knockoffs. I don't. I'm not into. You know, I don't.
Monet X Change
I'm not.
Bob The Drag Queen
I'm not into knockoffs on. In drag in general.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob The Drag Queen
Like, I don't think. I just don't think. I don't think it's great. Um, so I don't know. But, I mean, she. I will say this is the most beautiful. Her face has looked all. She looks so stunning, though. So, so stunning.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I think. I think it's been more impressive if it went. You can do this blue. This navy and white feather at the bottom, and then when from the mermaid, it starts to come into something else that is not feathers. That would have been nice to have feathers, but giving us another material, like a velvet or. Or suede or something to come up into this. Into the bodice of the gown. But I agree. The full feather thing. We've seen this so many times on Drag Race, and I think it's time to move on. Yeah.
Bob The Drag Queen
I mean. I mean, Kimchi wore one on my season during the. During the.
Monet X Change
I rolled one in All Stars 7,
Bob The Drag Queen
the Real Names music video. And it is that McQueen Birds of Prey thing. But anyway. But she does. But I do think she looks good, though. I'm just. I'm just a little over this aesthetic.
Monet X Change
Yeah. So someone said, bob, is your view of Vita's look different now that, you know it's a. It's a recreation?
Bob The Drag Queen
No, it's a little different. I'm talking about, like, specifically iconic fashion designer recreations. Right. Like, when someone's doing, like, it's a McQueen Blank, it's a Mugler blank. It's, you know, Mugler blank. And I think that. I do think knowing that Vitus is a recreation, it kind of takes a little bit out of the specialness for me, to be honest. But, yeah, I'm just not super into the. I'm not super into the recreations, but when it's like, inspired. Like, I thought that Vita's, like, inspired by Beyonce, that I didn't see the exact recreations until I saw it. And I was like, oh, no, that's a duck off.
Monet X Change
You know, mama, that's a recreation. Ready to soundtrack your summer with Red Bull Summer All Day Play. You choose a playlist that fits your summer vibe the best.

Let's get real for a second. You know that voice in your head that's like, what if I'm secretly a bad person? Or why did I just have that super disturbing thought? It's not just you. We've all got unwanted thoughts like this sometimes. But if those thoughts feel stuck, cause you intense distress, and you spend hours spiraling googling things and asking your friends for the message millionth time, if you're a good person, baby, you might be dealing with more than just overthinking. It could actually be ocd. And if you're thinking no. OCD is about being super organized. No, no, no, no. The stereotypes have it all wrong. Actual ODC is being terrorized by unwanted thoughts that feel urgent and real and doing whatever you can to make the distress from those thoughts go away by constantly asking for reassurance, avoiding things, or replaying thoughts over and over, trying to solve them or, you know, get rid of them somehow. But the more attention you give OCD thoughts, the stronger they get. That's what makes OCD so debilitating. But it's also totally treatable when you get the right kind of help. Not all therapy works on all conditions. Okay? OCD needs a specialized type of therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention, or erp. Not regular talk therapy, because that can actually make it worse sometimes. That's where no CD comes in. They're literally the world's leading provider for OCD treatment. No. CD therapists specialize in treating OCD with ERP therapy, and they're trained by experts so they actually know what they're doing and how to help you. Therapy with NOCD is 100% virtual, covered by insurance for over 155 million Americans, and includes support between sessions. So you're not facing this alone. So if you've been Struggling, don't wait. Go to nocd.com to book a free call and learn how to help today. That's nocd.com time to take your power back. You know, before I found Orby Parker, buying glasses was literally my least favorite chore. Y'. All. I don't like a task. I do not like a to do list. It always felt so needlessly complicated and overpriced. I feel like I needed a PhD and a spreadsheet just to understand why I was paying so much. And the style. Everything always felt so outdated or just didn't fit my face right. I have a very big head. I have a huge face. So I need big, big glasses. This is why I'm genuinely obsessed with Warby Parker. They have completely simplified the entire process. If you're picky about how your frames look on your face, you have to use their virtual try on in the app. I've tried other versions of this that felt, you know, really junky and just kind of janky. But this one is wild. You just point the camera and you can actually tell how the frames are going to fit and look in real time. It is an actual game changer. I'm wearing the November in matte black right now. I get compliments on those constantly. You can just feel that they are made with premium materials. They don't feel flimsy like at all. The best part is their prescription glasses only start at $95. You used to have to choose between flimsy, outdated frames or spending half your paycheck. But Warby Parker has fixed that.
Monet X Change
They really are a one stop shop for everything y'. All. Contacts, glasses and even online eye exams. Plus if you want that in person touch, they have over 300 retail stores you can pop into. They also make using your insurance incredibly easy. You just enter your info and they automatically apply your benefits for you. Hey, y' all convenient is true. My assistant Ty just lost his glasses on a plane. He stepped into Warby Parker and they got him together expeditiously and they took good care of him. He found the perfect pair of glasses in him lickety split and he loves them.
Bob The Drag Queen
And my assistant dear part of my staff lost their glasses when I was anyway leaving my mother's mansion in St. Lucia.
Monet X Change
Dear for every pair sold, they distribute a pair to someone in need through their buy a pair. That's how Ty got his it was through the service give a pair program. They've already distributed over 20 million pairs which is just incredible right now. Buy one prescription pair and get 20% off any additional prescription pairs@warbyparker.com wyvalry that's 20% off additional prescription pairs when you go to W A r b y parker.com rivalry. Let's go on to our top three.
Bob The Drag Queen
She's trolling, right? You.
Monet X Change
You go. Cause I don't have nothing good to say.
Bob The Drag Queen
I think Darlene has now reached a point where she's like, I have to intentionally dress ridiculous because it's what they expected me. She has the Puerto Rican flag on her bottom. She has feathers coming out of the stars. She has checkers on her pens. She has multicolored tie dye flower power on her skirt. She's wearing a green wig. She's wearing leopard print gloves with beaded fringe and a giant green bow in the back. Like, part of me is like, there will come a point where people are gonna stop letting you play in their faces.
Monet X Change
Y' all let this girl. Here's my problem. Y' all let this bitch come on this show all season long and put a battery in her back acting like she deserves to be in this top three. And when she shows up here looking like the clown that she is, y' all can't be mad because everyone, the entire season was like, yes, Darlene, we love it. She had the most Twitter, likes the most Instagram, likes the most Facebook, everything. So y'.
Bob The Drag Queen
All.
Monet X Change
Y' all emboldened. This kind of behavior showing up in a finale wearing this is crazy to me. I don't care if it's your brand. To me, you can be kooky, crazy, funny, kooky, whatever, and not come up here looking like a literal joke. I hate this.
Bob The Drag Queen
She's had actual fashion moments on the show.
Monet X Change
Exactly. Great one.
Bob The Drag Queen
I genuinely think that this. I really. I really, really feel like she's playing in our faces. She's like. She's like, yo, you want kooky, baby? You're gonna get it.
Monet X Change
Like, is she like, it'll be one thing if she really was, like, a clown queen. Like, if that, like, her whole brand was like, I'm a clown, that would be one thing. But she's not a clown. She's like, she went from, like, I like, mall.
Bob The Drag Queen
Is this.
Monet X Change
Is this mall drag? If you were the mall queen, come up, show up, like, Willow pill angle for the finale. That's mall drag. This is not mall drag. This is fucking. This is a clown show. But you're not a clown.
Bob The Drag Queen
I think even if she did was a clowny queen, this still wouldn't be a good look. Like by no metric is this. In my opinion.
Monet X Change
I think this is absurd. Like, clown, clown. If she said I wasn't a clown,
Bob The Drag Queen
but it still wouldn't be a good look. That's what I'm saying. Like, we've seen. We've seen queens do clowny and look fantastic. This is, in my opinion, not a great look. It feels like she's being odd for the sake of being like, I. I don't think she genuinely likes this. Maybe she does, right? I don't know, Darlene, but I can't imagine Darlene saw. This one's, like, gathered. I want it.
Monet X Change
Kudos for sharing. Said not too much on. Darlene is just tacky, girl. That's her thing now.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't like it. I said what I said. Kudos to you.
Monet X Change
This is so fucking hideous. I'm so mad I even had to look at this in the finale. I don't care. And you know. You know what? I'm not even getting to that. That's a whole nother conversation.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah. Someone pointed out Jimbo. Jimbo does clown drag, and it's really well done. Think about Jimbo in some of her beautiful, gorgeous clown looks. And they're really.
Monet X Change
James.
Bob The Drag Queen
Stunning. This look is crazy. This is. This is crazy. It is. Guys, it's bad. Like, it's bad. You cannot. Don't. Don't drink the Kool Aid, y'. All. This is a bad look. Come on, let's think critically here. This is bad. But also, you can't get mad. If her intention is to be bad. She nailed it. Like I said with that one outfit. Ginger Minjwar. She said it was supposed to be ugly. Then why you mad, bitch? You said it was supposed to be ugly. You nailed it.
Monet X Change
Yeah. And you know what?
Bob The Drag Queen
You're the winner of this week's challenge. You wanted to wear something ugly and, bitch, this shit is ugly as fuck.
Monet X Change
This is so fucking hideous. I can't. I haven't watched the pits off yet. What did y' all say? What did Bianca send to Pitstop?
Bob The Drag Queen
She didn't like it.
Monet X Change
She's a clown.
Bob The Drag Queen
Someone said this is the ultimate form of the judges. Rewarding and admiring. Stupid. You're so stupid. I've learned RuPaul's ultimate compliment is you were born to do drag. And Michelle's ultimate compliment is you're just so stupid. You're a fucking dumb piece of shit. I like about you. You're a fucking real piece of shit. A stupid, dumb ass. Almost dumb as that one guy's mom.
Monet X Change
You're so Can I tell you something about this in the podcast that drives you crazy? I don't know why it's on par with people who, like, Bob is reading comments. He said, somebody said, nigga, say the person's name.
Bob The Drag Queen
No, but the names are like xy, pip, pop. Like, some of the names are like, not easy to read. So when the name is kind of like, I'll read like, kudos for sharing. I'll read like Johnny Tsunami. But sometimes the name is like danger. What is that Dangy or Dan George. Dan. Is it Dan George Art. While I was scrolling. I can't.
Monet X Change
Dan George Art.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, it took me a while. Cause it's like the words are blending together. So once the words are just kind of blending together, I'm like, it's too much. I can't. Like, I'm just gonna say something.
Monet X Change
Well, I don't know, but somebody friend has said, not the callback. What if I say one of our
Bob The Drag Queen
patrons said, would it be better if I say one of our patrons?
Monet X Change
That's a little better.
Bob The Drag Queen
Let's go on to Mikey Meeks. I genuinely love this look. I think she looks great. I love what's happening with these waves on her head. I love the shape of this skirt rising above her hips. I love this high leotard. I think she looks really good. You don't like it?
Monet X Change
I like this. Something about this sequin is very cheap looking to me. That's the only thing, like, I feel like I wish we'd have went with a different sequin fabric. Yeah. I think you can see it separating, like how it's laid on the fabric. So that, like, that's taking me out. I do love her hair and her makeup, and I love these hoops and these things coming off. I think that looks really good, but I think the fabric was a little cheapy. Cheap. But other than that, I like the silhouette of this Grace Henderson.
Bob The Drag Queen
3,000, 164. That called back to her promo, but in a good way, since I want me to read the whole.
Monet X Change
How is her promo? Was stars. How is this her promo?
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't remember her promo.
Monet X Change
So it wasn't. It was like the shape of it. Her promo is this shape. No. Yeah, it was very similar. Like the. The body's part, the skirt like corn husks or some shit.
Bob The Drag Queen
It's like one Pokemon just kept evolving.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, it is Beyonce promo. Yeah, Beyonce promo. I was thinking entrance look. I was like, wait, what? Got it.
Bob The Drag Queen
All right, let's move on to our final queen, who is Ni Ni Coco Lanethia Coco. And I do not like this look, right? It looks like she was pulling her skirt up and was about to put on the top part, and then someone's like, bitch, we have to go now. And she's like, oh, shit. Is she wearing out? Like, I can tell that this skirt is technically well made, but, like, why? Why would you make it, though?
Monet X Change
Yeah, I don't love the skirt, and I'm sorry, y'. All. This is a journey I've gone on. I hate, hate ab stones in drag. I hate ab stones in drag. This ab stone in her hair looks so cheapy cheap to me. If she would have used crystal stones, I like that better. If y' all don't know, AB stones are aurora boreal. So every stone has a color. You do crystal, and they have crystal ab. Siam siam. Ab is like, a different finish to it, and I hate that color. It doesn't look good. It looks cheap. And I, I, I do not like this look. I don't like the shape with the hair. The hair is cool, but the stones in it, it looks bad because the ab.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't mind ab stones, but I just don't know why she, like, this skirt is many colors, and she chose the ugliest version of every color. Like, the weirdest red, the weirdest green, the weirdest maroon. Like. Like, they're all just, like.
Monet X Change
They're all muted. They're all muted. She. She should have went with more vibrant colors.
Bob The Drag Queen
Someone said it's giving. Someone, sorry. Narwhal by nature said it's giving fashion school. Final project.
Monet X Change
Yeah, it looks like it's being artsy and creative. Like, trying to be artsy and creative and just. Girl, just do your thing.
Bob The Drag Queen
Maybe I'm too old school, but, like, can we just. Oh, my God. I'm showing my age. Can we just, like, wear some, like, regular wigs?
Monet X Change
I knew you were gonna say that. I knew you were gonna say that.
Bob The Drag Queen
Like, does every wig need to be a pool noodle twisted up into different shapes? Like, every wig.
Monet X Change
I knew you're gonna say that wrapped in hair. I do think the gloves are cool. Or the gauntlets or hand garters.
Bob The Drag Queen
Johnny Elder said she's competing with Darlene, and Darlene still won that one. I assure you.
Monet X Change
This is not. This is not as ugly as fucking Darlene's look.
Bob The Drag Queen
Someone said this dress, I hope you guys know this dress was a gift for me from to Bianca Del Rio. She gave it to me on the pit stop recently. Work. Yeah, it's a cute Little caftan that she bought and adjusted. I thought it was so cute.
Monet X Change
And the rhinestones and wig story.
Bob The Drag Queen
Sorry, I'm not against that. We. Y', all, we need to call. Maybe we need to make our. I'm gonna make a list on YouTube. Bob's Drag Moratorium. And one of them will be rhinestones and wigs. We have to stop. I'm putting out the moratorium on rhinestones and wigs. We've seen it. I think I've had it. I think I've had it. Well, we already talked about this. I love RuPaul. With the house of Avalon standing behind her.
Monet X Change
That's the house of Juicy Couture. RuPaul. RuPaul. Still our dances from our tour.
Bob The Drag Queen
I would say. Say what y' all want about RuPaul. RuPaul is almost 70 years old. Up here in full dragoons, up in pumps, up in hair, up in a corset, filming 18 seasons of drag Race a year. You better work. She does three seasons of Drag Race every year. Three seasons every year. Two across the pond.
Monet X Change
Well, four.
Bob The Drag Queen
What's the other one? Drag Race All Stars. In uk, she does Drag Race All Stars UK and the UK All Stars. And then she did that Global All Stars. She did five one year.
Monet X Change
And she says, you understand UK versus the UK versus the world.
Bob The Drag Queen
She's doing, like six seasons of Drag Race a year. No, UK versus the world is UK All Stars.
Monet X Change
That's what I meant. But yes.
Bob The Drag Queen
Let's see how you're doing at 65. Let's see if you. If you're. If you're. If you're keeping up like that while you okaying. Yeah, that's easy to.
Monet X Change
I will be.
Bob The Drag Queen
Let's see this hitting your mid to late 30s, but let's see how you're holding up at 60. Whatever RuPaul is.
Monet X Change
I will. Toots. I'm going to be killing it, toots.
Bob The Drag Queen
We'll check back in. Hey, guys, check back in on April 19th in. I don't mean to do about 30. 30 years in 30 years.
Monet X Change
Okay, let's get into these. These performances before that. I want to remind you all that I am at the end of my Spring of the spring dates of my High Heels Bad News tour. I'm going to be in at the Neptune Theater in Seattle and Revolution hall in Portland. Tickets are going really fast. We're almost sold out in, I think, Fortland. So make sure you get your ticket. And snagging me up to see me in my. I say Portland is one of my hometowns. I Always do well in Portland. I love Portland. I can't wait to give you all this material.
Bob The Drag Queen
I also heard that Monet is going to have a special guest at her show in May in San Diego on the first show.
Monet X Change
Oh, yes. There's a special guest coming to my San Diego show.
Bob The Drag Queen
It's going to be really fucking fierce. You can all come see me as well. I will be. Let me look at my. I will be in May 12th. I'll be at the Omaha Funny Bone May 1st through 2nd, and then I'll be in Louisville, Kentucky. And then I'm going to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, San Antonio, Texas, and Charlotte, North Carolina, to finish up my spring days when I'm, you know, working out my new material. You can go to seethedragqueen.com to get your tickets. Let's go on to Darlene.
Monet X Change
Doing mine is monetexchange.com live.
Bob The Drag Queen
Let's go on to Cooking with. We should. Okay, can we quickly brainstorm what your live URL is? Monet X Live. Go to MonetXLive.com. why MonieXChange.com Live isn't as fun to type in as Monet X Live.com. like, it's just talking about fun.
Monet X Change
Just go to the website.
Bob The Drag Queen
You know what?
Monet X Change
The shorter one's better.
Bob The Drag Queen
You know what? No. You know what she said?
Monet X Change
What?
Bob The Drag Queen
She said, this is our website. Monet's on a whole website journey. We just got the website working, so let's just.
Monet X Change
I was saying. Well, don't say, because now some. Some faggot out of here is going to steal MonetaXLive.com and have to pay this bitch.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, you didn't even want it.
Monet X Change
And I gotta pay this bitch a thousand dollars for my website now. Thank you, Bob.
Bob The Drag Queen
You said you didn't even want it.
Monet X Change
Anyway. Let's go on to Darlene's first performance. What was the name of it? I didn't write down the name of it.
Bob The Drag Queen
Cooking with Gas. It's on the screen.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah. Cooking with Gas. I like this. But it felt like it lacked energy. I'm like, girl, this is your swan song. This is your final moment on your season. You're in the top three. And I just felt like it lacked energy. I wanted more energy. I wanted her to be big, bigger, bigger. I wanted it to feel like a final performance. And it just felt like just a regular bar number. I saw.
Bob The Drag Queen
Well, especially when she kept bragging, we haven't. Y' all haven't seen me lip sync all season. And this is What? This is what you had gave.
Monet X Change
Yo, they're gonna be. Cause you know these faggots fucking love this bitch. They're gonna. They're gonna be so mad at us.
Bob The Drag Queen
That'd be all right.
Monet X Change
Also, she looks like Valerie Cherish.
Bob The Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
When she was talking to RuPaul after her number, just talking to camera, she looked like Valerie Cherish.
Bob The Drag Queen
Like Lisa Kudrow.
Monet X Change
Yes. Y' all see that? Am I crazy?
Bob The Drag Queen
Maybe if I saw her with red hair, I could probably see it, but I don't see it because, you know, Valerie Cherish has red hair. I really am. She reminds me of my old drag sister, Frosty Flakes. First of all, I can see that. Secondly, I will say I've always said, in my opinion, a reveal should be one of three things. It should be hilarious, it should be stunning, or it should be nude. And I don't think this reveal was either one of those things. It's not funny, it's not nude, and it's not stunning. So don't both.
Monet X Change
Wait. Nude?
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah. Like, you should be like one of those. Like, what's her name? The girl from New Jersey, Carmen Carrera.
Monet X Change
Oh, like you're renting. Got it, got it, got it, got it.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, like. Like booty butt naked, but for stage, you know what I mean? Um, yeah, I didn't love this number. They were a girl. She was auto tuned within an inch of her.
Monet X Change
I know RuPaul was like, and these girls, they're singing live or.
Bob The Drag Queen
Or.
Monet X Change
Or they're. Whatever he said. So, like, I was like, he acting like they're going to be. I'm sorry. Y' all will never. Y' all will never get. Get over me saying this. They need to bring back these fucking bitches like they did in season 10 where we sang our vocals live when Asia Persuasion. Not Asia Persuasion. What's her name? Asia Persuasion. That was a New York City drag queen. Asia o' Hara was like, snap out of it. Give these. Give us live motherfucking vocals, please.
Bob The Drag Queen
All right.
Monet X Change
Did you ever have to do yours live on the show?
Bob The Drag Queen
No. They did it on Bianca season, though.
Monet X Change
Right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
Bob The Drag Queen
Um, let's go on to our next queen. We have versatile from Mikey Meeks, the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race into the Drag Race Royal Court. And I think that. I think that this number. I like that she revealed to something quite opulent and sparkly. It's not overly sparkly, but it was that she did give a bald headed. That BOA was bald headed as hell.
Monet X Change
It was what was bald headed.
Bob The Drag Queen
Had this boa together and they were like using. It was like a long, really skinny feather boa that I really couldn't stand looking at. But other than that, I think she did a really good job.
Monet X Change
Oh, the white one that they were using?
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
I mean, I wasn't bothered by that. Would you want to have a fucking 12 ply?
Bob The Drag Queen
No, I would. I would probably do one of those big tool boas that, that, that milk makes.
Monet X Change
That would be impossible to bob. They put it between their legs and with dancing, that would be. It would be too cumbersome.
Bob The Drag Queen
No. Well, then change the choreography. I would rather look at you, do something more interesting, like across your shoulders with a nice boa, than like, was the. Between the legs so iconic they couldn't fucking lose it? I don't know, like, was the whole number hinging on them, putting the boa between their legs. Do something else with a nicer boa.
Monet X Change
Well, to say. Okay, look to the camera. Tell Jamal Sims that his choreography sucks. Then talk to him.
Bob The Drag Queen
Tell him that I didn't live for this performance with that boa.
Monet X Change
Jamal's a. Do you know? Jamal's a patriot.
Bob The Drag Queen
You said you didn't like Darlene's performance, so what about that?
Monet X Change
I didn't say I didn't like Darlene's performance.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, but you, you can lie to yourself and not to me. Um, that being said, Meeks has a beautiful voice. I think she looks stunning. She is so, so pale here, though. She is looking like a vampire.
Monet X Change
Her tights are. Well, her tights are lighter than her bodices. You see that? Like, she. She went the opposite way. Darlinga wears darker tights. She wears lighter tights.
Bob The Drag Queen
But. Yeah, but I thought her voice. I mean, she has. She does have a beautiful singing voice. I think she's shown that already once on the season. She has a great singing voice. And I think she looks really. I think she looked really good. I think she did pretty good, actually. I think she did well.
Monet X Change
I said. I said. I said to Mikey had a great number. I love the wordplay. I thought the word wordplay was very smart. I wonder how much input they had on the text when she said, Broadway version or theater geek? I Can make youe Come Eight Times a Week. I thought that was very funny. Really good. And when she was talking to RuPaul saying that her baby picture was her college grad picture. Again, she's quick And I think RuPaul likes that a lot. And her dad talking about when she was a kid she used to watch Regis Philman and say. And mimic him. I was like, nigga, you sound like Regis Philman. You look like him too.
Bob The Drag Queen
I think he looks like a Las Vegas magician with that loud ass jacket.
Monet X Change
Regis Pilbin.
Bob The Drag Queen
She is our Miranda Cosgrove, white queen, and she is the winner.
Monet X Change
But her parents have, like, a very thick. Like New York. Her parents. Her parents talk like this.
Bob The Drag Queen
Where's she from?
Monet X Change
I don't know.
Bob The Drag Queen
This bitch is from Florida. Well, you know, a lot of people move to Florida from New York. It's very common.
Monet X Change
Who is Miranda Crosby? Why you wanna say Miranda Cosgrove? Who is that?
Bob The Drag Queen
Miranda Cosgrove is from icarlin. She's a white woman who looks Asian.
Monet X Change
She is elite. She is. She is partially Latina.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't know how much.
Monet X Change
It could just be a ginger mint part.
Bob The Drag Queen
Well, Latina's not a race. But she. But she. But she's not Asian.
Monet X Change
Jacob, don't get him going on.
Bob The Drag Queen
This is not a race. We. We need to. We need to talk about it. You can be Latino and be white. Alfredo, you can be Hispanic. You know, all Spanish people are Hispanic. Everyone from Spain, Hispanic. You know that, right? And they're white.
Monet X Change
That's. Everyone is not white. Some of them are black. Technically, race isn't real either.
Bob The Drag Queen
All right, Jay, shut your white ass.
Monet X Change
Wake it up.
Bob The Drag Queen
Let's go on to Nini Coco, who did Stimulate. This was my favorite number. I gotta tell you, people are online being like, I said, this is my favorite number I've seen in the finale. They're saying, no, Sasha, Colby. I honestly think this was better. This could be at the VMAs, like, the. The. The level of. To me, if this number was at the VMAs, if Dochi did this, if Lady Gaga did this same thing, this would be fantastic. Kudos for sharing. Said I'm a white Latino. Bob, I appreciate this.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I thought Nene Killed. It was the best memo of the night by far, in my opinion. The opening desk Choreo was so bomb. It sounded like a Lady Gaga song. Like, even. Like the song sounded like a Lady Gaga song. I recently had Lucian Piano. Whoa. I recently had. What's his name? Jay Leland. Leland.
Bob The Drag Queen
Leland.
Monet X Change
Leland did Monet talks. The episode's coming out soon and he talks about, like, Leland has been working on Drag Race for so long, doing all these songs. He talked about his process on these songs, and she. This, like, this was really good. The clothing Choreo was very tight. Having Stimulate fornicate. Like, it just. It Was. It was good. It was really good. I really, really, really enjoyed her number. The choreo was really good. She killed it.
Bob The Drag Queen
It was like Cat's Eye meets Gaga meets Dochi. It was really good. This was just fantastic. I, I, I genuinely feel like she may have won this episode, but Mikey Meeks did win the season, which.
Monet X Change
Then what is the point? Like, is this just a celebration? Is this just a celebration?
Bob The Drag Queen
Like, it is not the deciding factor. The season is the deciding factor.
Monet X Change
Then what is the point of this?
Bob The Drag Queen
It's not, it's to add to it. So when you get to the finale, it's not everything's deleted and now it's just this. It is your breadth of work that you've done over the course of the season.
Monet X Change
That's not how it always worked though. The point was you do well throughout the season and that's what gets you to the finale. So the top two, three, four that make the finale are now on an even playing field and the finale is the deciding factor because if everything else counts, then there is, it doesn't matter because it's always stacked against someone anyway. So why, what's the point?
Bob The Drag Queen
Well then what's the point of doing good all season where you can just Darlene it the whole way and then
Monet X Change
because you're getting to the end of the. In my mind, let's see how I think about dragons. Because what Jay said, like, you worked the entire season. You win some, you lose some, you get to the finale. Once you get to the finale, we're all at base at zero and we're competing for the thing. Then why do all of this? Instead just Mikey wins the season and just do a final celebration episode of everyone. Then what is the point of all of this?
Bob The Drag Queen
I think it's because there is a chance where you could do something. We've had this conversation next times where you could do something that is so remarkable that it gives you so many points that it pushes you above. This is rare, it does not happen very often. But you could do something so mind boggling so next level that it gives you the, the, the, the, you know, the, the advantage. But for the most part I, I do think that it makes sense for it to be everything you've done this season. Otherwise what's the point of doing the whole fucking season to get to the finale? But you could do fine. You could be like Darlene, just do fine.
Monet X Change
Exactly. But then, but, but.
Bob The Drag Queen
So you're telling me you can just do fine all season and then just be slightly better at the finale and win the whole thing.
Monet X Change
But. But that's the thing. If you're. If you're fine and mediocre the whole season, then chances are you come into the finale and you're fine and mediocre. You don't just find this gusto to. To. To. To be like, if you are just a basic bitch when you get to the finale, you just not all of a sudden, sorry, this sounds so weird, but case in point. Darling did not come to the finale and do something that she hasn't done all season. It's been the same thing. Mikey was at the level she was all season, which was good. Nene Coco was at the level she's been all season, which is good, which all the way. Also at the end, this show did such a horrible job of painting this picture of Nene being this, like, stone cold bitch and that she was like, they did such a bad job of painting that picture. They tried to bring it up again in the finale. I was like, this means nothing because y' all did not show us this mean, nasty Nene Coco that was pushing everyone to the side that did not come across on tv.
Bob The Drag Queen
Well, while I agree with you that most time, what you do in the season is gonna be emblematic of what you do at the finale. But we know for a fact that you can be relatively fine during the season and then just eat the girlies up in the finale. It makes for a particularly great tv. When it does happen, it doesn't happen very often, which is why it's rare. And when it happens, it means so much, in my opinion.
Monet X Change
But who mistakes Sasha has done that?
Bob The Drag Queen
I said it's rare. I didn't say it happened. One is rare, Monet. I didn't say it happens all the time. I didn't say it happened more than once.
Monet X Change
The people gangs, the finale. The message that the show is sending is the three of you are worthy to win. Who's going to come out on top?
Bob The Drag Queen
Well, they have to create suspense. They can't be like, well, we know Darlene ain't going to win.
Monet X Change
That's the point. There's no suspense. Because if Mikey did the best in the season, there is no suspense. It doesn't exist. And the Sasha Velour thing can't happen because they don't film a year later in the theater with ample time to prepare anymore. That's not how they're doing this. So the chances of a Sasha Velor thing happening is just. It's not real.
Bob The Drag Queen
So you never know. Listen, never say never Never say never.
Monet X Change
I think he's playing them girl faces. Like, don't bring me to. There's no chance of me winning. And just make it, like, see, episode 15. We have the winner. And 16 is to Bob's point. It's a celebration of everything. Everyone gets the final three, get to do one final thing and whatever. Like, I think that makes more sense then, like, don't give me false hope. She killed it. She killed her in the final lip sync, and she killed her in this number. So now what?
Bob The Drag Queen
The person who said rare implies more than once. You made that up. You're just making up definitions. You're just making up definitions to words. Um, but I think that. No, I mean, I think she did a good job. But you're gonna tell me that you think, based on this performance, Nene Coco deserved to win the whole season?
Monet X Change
I'm based on not. But. But, like, what you mean like.
Bob The Drag Queen
Like, for example, what she did in finale. Her dress wasn't better than. Her interview wasn't better than Mikey's. Her dress wasn't. You think Nene. I think that Mikey's interview was better. You just mentioned how she was funnier, how quick she's on her feet when she was interviewing with RuPaul Mikey Meeks. And then I don't think her dress. Her dress is certainly not better than Mikey Meeks. We both agree that Mikey Meeks is dressing better. So two out of the three categories that we've seen so far, Mikey has come out trying to.
Monet X Change
What's your opinion? I thought that Nene's. That Nene's interview was better. I thought Nene showed a lot of personality. Yeah. She wasn't as quick as Mikey.
Bob The Drag Queen
You were like, mikey, so quick. She's.
Monet X Change
I wasn't even finished giving my NINI critiques. We then we started talking about something else. I literally wrote down the thing. I love how she's talking to Rue. She's talking personality. And the things that they said about in the season didn't make any sense because she has a lot of personality, so they need to let it go. I was literally saying that in my thing, in my assessment and also in
Bob The Drag Queen
the final lip sync. She didn't beat Mikey in that final lip sync.
Monet X Change
And that bad bit was weird. That bad bitch bad thing was weird. It was weird. It's a fucking puppet.
Bob The Drag Queen
It didn't make any sense with the number. Like, here's the thing.
Monet X Change
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. We're hopping. Let's get. Wait till we get there.
Bob The Drag Queen
Well, that being said, this Number was fantastic. She did a good job. This is my favorite performance I've ever seen in the finale. Literally ever.
Monet X Change
Okay, I. You what?
Bob The Drag Queen
That was my favorite performance I've seen in the finale. It was truly my favorite one. Truly.
Monet X Change
Weirdly, it is so simple. I don't know why, but in finale performances, Daya Betty sticks out to me all the time. I was so impressed by it. Do you remember?
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
With the feathers to Bob's point. The lyrics. The first lyrics to the Miley song are, I matched my bag to my new dress, and the bag matches her dress.
Bob The Drag Queen
So it does go with the number. The number. No, not enough. It doesn't match the theme of the song. It's the first lyric.
Monet X Change
Wait, let's wait till we get to it.
Bob The Drag Queen
That's like. That's like. If the first lyric is in that
Monet X Change
Miss Congeniality is being awarded, and we have our old Miss Congeniality come out on stage to present the crowd. Crystal Envy.
Bob The Drag Queen
So Crystal Envy looks stunning. And then the winner of Miss Congeniality is now Jane don't, which I kind of called. I said, I think Jane don't might win Miss Congeniality. No, you didn't.
Monet X Change
You said Darlene.
Bob The Drag Queen
I said Darlene. Then when Go. Do you watch the show Tamar? And then when I do, and then when I said, how Jane Don't. How. They were, like, mourning her loss, I was like, wow, maybe Jane don't might actually win geniality. Were you there that episode?
Monet X Change
Okay, maybe you didn't say that.
Bob The Drag Queen
You didn't see me when I talk.
Monet X Change
Maybe you didn't say that. Calm down.
Bob The Drag Queen
You want to apologize to me?
Monet X Change
No, wait.
Bob The Drag Queen
I only say that because you say it. The only reason I ever say that is because you say. I don't say that for any other reason. Do you want to apologize to me? That's a direct Monet quote.
Monet X Change
You started saying this on a podcast. Are you kidding me?
Bob The Drag Queen
Absolutely not. You started Monat. You started this in real life. There's a small chance that I might have said on the podcast first. Maybe. And also, by the way, Monat, you're the only person I say this to. I don't say this to anybody else. And I got a sneaking suspicion you say it to other people. A sneaking suspicion.
Monet X Change
I really don't. I know I said it to Jay. I've noticed it. Jacob, have I said it to you?
Bob The Drag Queen
Someone said, incoming. Let's go on Z. Let's onion. Herve looks fantastic. I love this wig. I love this. This bow in her hair.
Monet X Change
Wait, we didn't talk about the. Can I say Jane? Don't. Damn. Bob's running the show. Can I, Can I get my opinions, please? I thought that I would. I mean, I wish. I genuinely thought that I was. I was shocked that Jane won. I thought that Darlene would win Miss Congeniality, but. And I think Jane was also shocked by her winning as well. She took out the fucking dragonfly from her mouth. Thank God. But, yeah, that's nice to choose Miss Congeniality. I, I, I, I was shocked, but I thought it was gonna be. I thought it was gonna be Darlene.
Bob The Drag Queen
So glad you added that.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Because it's my fucking podcast. I get to give my opinions about every topic. What about Crystal Envy's dress? Y' all like it? I thought it was cute. I thought it was cute. Whoa. Okay. I didn't see on his. Up close. I just saw it from the widescreen. This hair is really cool.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't think she needs this bendy, though.
Monet X Change
Why does she need it?
Bob The Drag Queen
Like, I don't. I don't get why she has a bendy in her forehead. I just don't get it. It's.
Monet X Change
Some people have bendies.
Bob The Drag Queen
Do I.
Monet X Change
That some people have bendies?
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah. I just don't think understand why this doesn't seem to have any nod to Hindu culture in any way. And I just don't get why she's wearing a bindi like that. What I'm saying is not crazy.
Monet X Change
Well, bindis are not only for Hindu is not only Hindu culture.
Bob The Drag Queen
What else? Where do they come from? Where does the bindi come from? The bindi is a Hindu Is a Hindi word.
Monet X Change
Yeah. But other cultures in Northern Africa. Bindis are in Northern Africa culture as well. I've seen this. It's not just a Hindu thing. I don't know. Maybe. I don't think it's called a bindi, what she's wearing. But to have jewelry on your forehead is not only a Hindu characteristic or trait.
Bob The Drag Queen
That's not what I said.
Monet X Change
I like this. It's. Didn't Jewel Sparkle do a big gown like this?
Bob The Drag Queen
Anyway, hers was kind of like coming out from the knee, I believe.
Monet X Change
Right, right, right. It was more like a mermaid thing. Yeah. I think this is really grand. Very big. I think she looks great. His hair is very pretty. And I think. Oh, yeah, there's Jules. Okay. How it came out at the waist. Yeah, it was cool. Yeah, I think. I think she looks great.
Bob The Drag Queen
It's kind of. It kind of comes out twice, like, from the waist and then it busts out again by the knee.
Monet X Change
Yeah. She looks great, though.
Bob The Drag Queen
Let's go on to what's next. What do we have next, Jacob?
Monet X Change
The final lip sync. Well, I mean, we have Miley Cyrus if we want to talk about that, but it was.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't have much to say. Miley Cyrus is an icon, and she's an amazing singer and a great ally. Truly. Like, truly.
Monet X Change
She's giving us life achievement award, lifetime achievement award.
Bob The Drag Queen
Miley Cyrus is really, really sickening. She's like such a good singer. Like, genuinely. If you have not heard Miley Cyrus sing. Is it Jolene? No. Girls, you want to have fun. Like, her voice is just so amazing. Miley Cyrus is an icon, truly. I have nothing else to say about her. It's great.
Monet X Change
Her and Ariana, they have a cover of don't wake me until it's over. It's very good.
Bob The Drag Queen
So let's go on to this finale performance where apparently Jay is trying to justify this bag because of the first lyrics.
Monet X Change
I didn't try to justify it. You just said it had nothing to do. And I'm like, what?
Bob The Drag Queen
So I'm doing. And I'm telling you. And I lock myself to the door because the first lyric says that. I'm telling you. I'm not going. But what is the song about, Mama? What is the song about? What is the vibe of the song, Mama?
Monet X Change
Because of the lyric. I don't think it's a reach to have the bag. And I think. And he's just trying to do Be creative again. It's not how. It's like my first inclination to do a bag, but I thought. I think that in. In the limited time, they have to get this done. And you're just trying to like. Because they do this on set, right? They had to come with this prepared with all your looks.
Bob The Drag Queen
I'm like, I see what you're saying is I don't know how true that is. Like, I don't know for sure that they are filming right after. I don't know that that's actually true.
Monet X Change
I think that issue. They film a month after.
Bob The Drag Queen
So do you want to apologize to our patrons for lying to them?
Monet X Change
Jacob, how you know?
Bob The Drag Queen
Because I did my.
Monet X Change
I did research about when they filmed it. They film a month after. What? After the episode finale, they all went
Bob The Drag Queen
home, and a month later they came back. So do you want to apologize to our patrons for lying to them?
Monet X Change
No,
Bob The Drag Queen
that's crazy.
Monet X Change
That's. I think the forms has less time than previously.
Bob The Drag Queen
But that's not what she said, so I want. That's not what she said. Also, this got her first look. Like she got somewhere to be.
Monet X Change
Like, because the purse is so.
Bob The Drag Queen
It's a big. Like it's a day. This is a day purse. This is not a nighttime bag. It's a mom purse. This purse is big enough to carry a laptop computer in it.
Monet X Change
She's carrying baby formula.
Bob The Drag Queen
The purse is not cute. It's not giving because of the size of it. Cause the outfit's so cut. But she got this big ass auntie bag.
Monet X Change
I see that. I do see that.
Bob The Drag Queen
Y' all not about to gaslight me into believing this person ate the girlies up. I also. That being said, I also don't think Mikey's outfit has anything to do with Jacob. Jacob is uncle Fast. We will get to the place.
Monet X Change
Jacob.
Bob The Drag Queen
He opened his fucking fist. Fix the feet. We fucking see him, bitch. Jacob, I promise you. Jacob. Jacob. Jacob.
Monet X Change
Jacob. Jacob.
Bob The Drag Queen
He.
Monet X Change
First of all, it was this. Then he put only plain Jane. Then he cut back. Then he put only plain Jane again. Then he put it aside. They said, bitch, we see it.
Bob The Drag Queen
Jake, you have to find some way to show what Jacob is doing in the edit because this is. Someone said Jacob. J for Payne said Jacob up there. Scream. So you'll notice that people are saying this looks very similar to playing Jane. It looks like playing Jane's outfit got eaten by moths.
Monet X Change
I think it's very good. And I. I agree too. Mikey's outfit doesn't have anything to do with it either.
Bob The Drag Queen
I agree Mikey's outfit has nothing. But I do think that Mikey's performance was better. First of all, something about that triple pirouette into the Spider man land.
Monet X Change
That was pretty good.
Bob The Drag Queen
Maybe that trip was pre into the Spider Man. I was like, that ate. That ate it up for me. I think that, that, that Mikey did a really good job. Like, Mikey is a better dancer than she give. Than we're giving credit for. So we're seeing. We're seeing Nene and Juicy as these great dancers, but they are really fantastic dancers. But Mikey can move. Mikey was like. Mikey was holding her own. I would say more than hold her own. I genuinely think that Mikey. Mikey performed this better. And I think that she. I felt like what was happening was Nene was really hinging on this bag gag, eating the girlies up. And I don't think it did.
Monet X Change
No, that's not true. She started on. When she put it down. She literally only brought it up for the puppet part when the thing was working. Miley enjoyed It. And I think what. I think Nene could have showcased her dancing more, right? Bitch, I know you just did the backflip, what, two episodes ago? Bitch, give us some more acrobats. Give us another thing to, like, to gag the judges. Like, I. I think she. She sold herself short. There's an edit of this. There's an edit of the lip sync where they cut away when she's leaning and they cut to another performance of hers.
Bob The Drag Queen
And it's the same move she does before she does a.
Monet X Change
Like a back handspring, so people think she did it and they just didn't show it. Well, she loved it.
Bob The Drag Queen
Well, even if she did do a back handspring, it wouldn't have won the lip sync. It's not. It's not that much of a gag anymore. You know what I mean? How many times can we see, you know, like Monet said, how many times can we see Mia do her moves before we're not gagged anymore? You know what I mean? How many times can we see the handstand to the split split until we're not gagged anymore from Juicy? And how many times can we see her back handspring until we're just not gagged anymore? So it's not like that lip sync was gonna. That backflip was gonna seal the fucking deal. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
But it could have been a back handspring into a split.
Bob The Drag Queen
It could have been. It could have been a back handspring where she did two flips before she even landed. And then she bounced, grabbed her knees, landed on her elbows, put her fist in her mouth. It could have been that. It could have. You're right. I don't think it was. I don't think it was, but I actually do. I did think that. I did think that she. I think she did better. I think that Mikey did a better job with the lip sync. I. I also, apparently someone said that RuPaul famously doesn't like people like, don't. Don't do the words, and they have someone else, like, some. Something else do it. I don't know how true that is.
Monet X Change
You know, these kids, y' all don't know what this man.
Bob The Drag Queen
Like I said, I don't know.
Monet X Change
Not yet. I'm talking about the people who say that.
Bob The Drag Queen
Oh, Diamond Love Bug says the gags be losing girls their lip syncs. I believe that. I really do believe that because of all the gags we've seen in a final lip sync, this ain't it. Of all the gags for final lip sync, this is at the. Literally probably right above Aquaria coming out looking like a Chipotle burrito. Thank you, Prince Jen y. Y' all set up in the chat. Am I crazy, Money? Act like this purse gag was the best thing she ever seen in her goddamn.
Monet X Change
I literally. I did not say the best thing.
Bob The Drag Queen
I just acted like this one lyric should. She should redo all her drag now. Everything you do now, gotta start with the first lyric. Pick myself up. So at the beginning, you gotta lay on the ground. Pick yourself up.
Monet X Change
But was it. But was it better than Butterflies?
Bob The Drag Queen
It was. The song has something beginning ay happening.
Monet X Change
All right, let's go. And then we find out that Mikey Meeks is the winner of RuPaul Jagger season 18. I loved her line when she said. She said.
Bob The Drag Queen
I don't remember.
Monet X Change
I do love it. I just didn't write it down. But it was a good line.
Bob The Drag Queen
1 8.
Monet X Change
She said, I love. Someone knows what it is. It was funny. It was. And let the mic. I don't remember, bitch.
Bob The Drag Queen
What are you. Were you reading something?
Monet X Change
No, I just didn't write it down. Mikey's last line, like, oh, Jenner, jinx. Monsoon season. I forgot what she said. It was good, though.
Bob The Drag Queen
Full disclosure, I did not see Mikey's final thing because I watched it at the Pit Stop and then they cut it off before they actually went. So I didn't know who won until tonight. So I let you all know what Mikey said. What did she say?
Monet X Change
I didn't write it down. There's a longer thing. And she ended it with something. And, like, the Meeks will inherit the crown. Oh, yes. The meek shall inherit the earth.
Bob The Drag Queen
Oh, that's really cute. Is that her? Monsoon season?
Monet X Change
I think so.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
It was good. It was funny.
Bob The Drag Queen
I gotta say, it's monsoon season was a pretty iconic line to yell when you.
Monet X Change
What was yours?
Bob The Drag Queen
Take whatever you love by yourself and walk into the world first. And then I pulled a purse down on my dress. It was fine. I probably could have came with something better. This is for my friends, my family, all of Orlando.
Monet X Change
Live fiercely, love boldly, and write it in the books, baby. The Meeks shall inherit the crown.
Bob The Drag Queen
And what was yours, Ma?
Monet X Change
You know what it was.
Bob The Drag Queen
Soak it up.
Monet X Change
Soak it up.
Bob The Drag Queen
Soak it up. Random fact. Every Trisha. See, I'm sorry.
Monet X Change
I read these names.
Bob The Drag Queen
Random Trisha. Every crew that has won the political challenge has won the season.
Monet X Change
Well, okay, what if you don't have a political. That's not true. Because sometimes you don't have a Political Challenge. Trisha. So you're a fucking liar.
Bob The Drag Queen
They didn't say everyone who's won. See, you're not. You don't listen when people talk. Trisha didn't say everyone who's ever won the political. She said everyone who won the Political Challenge won the season. This is what I mean. When y' all be letting Monat gas.
Monet X Change
That's not true.
Bob The Drag Queen
What are you. What are you not hearing?
Monet X Change
Derrick Berry won the Political Challenge. She did not win the season.
Bob The Drag Queen
Yeah, but she didn't win. I really wanted. She was kind of hanging on my. I won it. She was kind of like, you know, there.
Monet X Change
Wow, that's crazy.
Bob The Drag Queen
I really want it.
Monet X Change
That's crazy to say.
Bob The Drag Queen
I really want it. See this. This is how y'. All.
Monet X Change
Y'.
Bob The Drag Queen
All. This is how Monet does these half truths. And y' all be believing this bullshit. Monet, the money twisted. Everyone who win didn't win ability. That's not what she said.
Monet X Change
And I just corrected myself. I said, I'm talking about Derek Ferry.
Bob The Drag Queen
No, I corrected. You didn't. Correct. I corrected you. And on that note, thank you for coming on my show. We'll see y' all on Sibling Events, Current Adventory in just a second.
