Monet X Change
It's like y' all all doing too much. I mean, it is a hard song to sing. Not as hard to sing as Happy Birthday. Come on, babe, babe, babe. Don't you know that I need you in front of Lucia Franklin? So they're all. They're all trying to, like, they all want to impress the queen, so they're like. I'm like, y', all, it's.
Commercial Narrator
It's okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
To Bob the Drag Queen singing, y', all is one of my favorite moments. You just so. You get so passionate. You're so into it. It's very beautiful.
Monet X Change
You're trying to read. You're trying to read. I'm.
Bob the Drag Queen
I am trying to. I'm genuine. I'm not trying to read.
Monet X Change
I feel. I don't like you talking about my. I don't like people talking about my
Bob the Drag Queen
sinking, literally episodes where you make me listen to your singing and critique it on this podcast.
Monet X Change
I only want good critiques. I don't know why you don't see that. I don't want any negative critiques about my singing. I only want you to say nice things about me singing. Bob, I have to say, you know,
Bob the Drag Queen
I think you and I are really in our resurgence of, like, our skin looks so beautiful and healthy. We are really in our self care bag.
Monet X Change
Well, thank you. You know, today I don't think my lighting is quite right right now. Normally, my Skin looks really good. But today, something about my lighting is not giving. But I. You know, I will tell you all this is completely unpaid. And I probably shouldn't be saying this because they probably should be giving me money.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bob, you stayed promoting product, bitch. Let them come to us, nigga. Stay promoting something.
Monet X Change
Well, maybe. Oh, does it look better or worse? Well, hit that one, baby. Hit the lamp.
Bob the Drag Queen
You got real in New York on that one. The lamp. The lamp.
Monet X Change
I say certain. You know, it's fine. I mean, I'm not that vain. You can hit that one back on. I'm not that vain.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do say certain things with a
Monet X Change
New York accent, and I just can't. I can't help it. I don't know. It's just part of. I think, you know, most of my adulthood was in New York City. I moved there when I moved there for almost all of my 20s. I was there from 22 to 34, 35. So most of my. I've lived there longer than any city in the world. So I say Long island with a New York accent.
Bob the Drag Queen
Long Island.
Monet X Change
I don't say Long Island. I say Long island instead of Long Island. Long island, which I didn't realize was a New York thing. So someone pointed out, like, you say Long island with a New York accent. I was like, yeah, I guess I do. Because we weren't saying Long island back in Atlanta. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Anyway, it's not about Long island or New York. It's about RuPaul's Drag Race season one. Guys, if you have not been tuning into this watchery these past couple weeks, we are going. We're taking it back.
Monet X Change
Back.
Bob the Drag Queen
Back to our roots. Season one is going to curl your hair.
Monet X Change
Do you remember what season said that?
Bob the Drag Queen
I was the one that told you about it. Season eight.
Monet X Change
Okay. You told me about my. Okay, if I can remember a promo. Turn the. Turn the competition up to 100. What season was that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Season 10.
Monet X Change
That was eight, too, because we had the 100th episode.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, right.
Monet X Change
Did you ever think about tens, Tens, tens across the board? Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. That was ours. That was ours.
Monet X Change
And season nine was the Wait Is Over, Kitty Girls. That was season six. The Wait is Over Kitty Girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't remember that.
Monet X Change
When she turns into the panther.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, that was. I mean, we talked about this many times. That is such a good fucking promo. Honestly, Bob, should we do a thing where we recreate Drag Race promos, but not just, like, pictures, like video of money?
Monet X Change
Are we going to hire David lachapelle to do one for us too. Like money. Where do you. Why would we do.
Bob the Drag Queen
And also it would yield no return. Like, there would be no reason for it. It's not like it's not going to
Monet X Change
yield us anything because we don't have anything that big to provide. Promote.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, speak for yourself. Yes, I do.
Monet X Change
Yeah, your ass. That's the only thing you have that big to promote. So. So Tammy Brown just went home, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Tamisha Brown.
Monet X Change
And it was time. No shade.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I think it was time for actually, no, I mean, I think she did Tammy to bat in that challenge. I would have liked to see Tammy in the one.
Monet X Change
I would have liked to seen it too. I just don't know that she's a competition style queen, you know what mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I can see that. See that. And I realized Akasha has been in the bottom every episode so far.
Monet X Change
Girl, Akasha can not catch a break. I wrote that down during her judging. I was like, have they ever said anything nice about Akasha? Like, the only thing they said nice about her was she fell, but she didn't like die. It's like this girl cannot catch a break. So they find out that they're gonna be doing. They do this little challenge, a little trivia game where they write their answers on. On. On dry erase boards. And all the answers are Oprah based. And they find that they're going to be basically doing an Oprah challenge, which is interesting because freaking out. Say again.
Bob the Drag Queen
Chanel starts freaking out. She's like, oh, my God, if she's here, I'll die. I'm like, damn, RuPaul's a cold ass bitch. Can I get that reaction?
Monet X Change
Well, Oprah has that reaction, particularly amongst a certain age demographic. You know what I mean? There is a demographic that's not shade.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bob, you just called Chanel an old ass bitch. You literally not into what you just said to Chanel.
Monet X Change
That's not what I said. But there's a certain demographic that Oprah really affects. And also middle America, white women love Oprah too. I feel like people who this is just because I listened to becoming Oprah, making Oprah, Oprah so good.
Bob the Drag Queen
That podcast is so fucking good.
Monet X Change
There's something about people who were at home during a certain time of day. And I imagine that Chanel as a nightlife performer would be home watching Oprah during the day.
Bob the Drag Queen
And Oprah just helped to also make a very big life change. She helped her lose 60 pounds. Like, and with me, when I feel like back in the day, we used to see it a lot on TV. Cause in, like, the late 90s, early 2000s, we were really. I mean, we have always been obsessed with weight as a society, but back then, it was like, it seemed to be a really particular thing. Like, all these talk shows, everyone was always talking about everyone losing all this weight. And, like, people are like, 60 pounds. That is a lot of fucking weight to lose. That is a life change.
Monet X Change
It is a lot of weight. But I was gagging when she was like, girl, I was 217. That's smaller than I am right now.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was like, ah.
Monet X Change
I was like, all right, not too much on 217. Not too much.
Bob the Drag Queen
Also gagged at Bibi in this perm. I said, bebe better be in here with this motherfucking perm in her hair. And it's like orange.
Monet X Change
Well, I think it was probably blonde and then grown out and stuff. But 217. So she was. She was. She was telling her that she was like 267 or 257, 157 on the show. But I was like, not 217. Not being smaller than I am right now. Being like, girl, I was a roly poly. I was a big fat piece of shit.
Bob the Drag Queen
Chanel is like, all right. Chanel's like, around, like, 5, 11, 6 foot, something like that. She's.
Shannon Maldonado
She's.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's like a tall girl.
Monet X Change
Yeah, 217 is not that.
Jacob
Actually.
Monet X Change
I don't know how tall Chanel is. I am taller than Chanel, but I'm. But I'm also. But I'm much. Not much taller than Chanel. But I just want to point out that if you're two, six. If you're six, two, and you're 217, that is. There's nothing wrong with that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Also, let's talk about how the bmi, the body mass index, calculator, cal. Whatever the fuck you want to call it. It is so fucked up and jacked up, especially for black people. Like, it just completely takes out of context, like, how our bodies, like, like, again, we come in all different shapes. Colors and shapes and sizes. Yes, but there is. But it is particularly disproportionate and not healthy. Speaking to the black experience and how our bodies naturally carry and wait. Because black people have bigger booties, we sometimes black women tend to be. Have bigger breasts. It's not taking into account these things.
Monet X Change
Is the bmi. What is that? Body mass.
Bob the Drag Queen
The body mass.
Monet X Change
But it's like. It's like a chart for it or something.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a chart to calculate your height and Your weight. And that should tell you what you're. If you're OBEs, like if, like if, if you're more than like 30 something percent, then you're obese.
Monet X Change
Do black women have bigger breasts? Is that a thing?
Bob the Drag Queen
Not bigger breasts, but black. Allegedly black people, Black women tend to be more voluptuous, right? Like thick thighs, big booties and sometimes that matriculates to like your titties.
Monet X Change
Got it. Got interesting Also, you know, Samoans are also a thick population, right? They're like a naturally thick population.
Bob the Drag Queen
So like a 5 foot 7 Simone woman is going to look very different. But then fucking Jessica down the street, who from fucking Nova Scotia. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
Then I'm wondering in the bmi, would Asians be underweight because they're typically a smaller people.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. I don't know. Probably that makes sense.
Monet X Change
Or shorter. I don't know if they're. I don't know. Anyway. I do not know. Anyway. Well, we've gotten off track. But back to the matter at hand. I was. Anyway, anyway, Nina Flowers so fast Nina Flowers took me when she was like, well, I didn't have, I didn't have cable. And I was like, baby, no shade. Oprah wasn't on cable. Oprah was on network television.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, true. But she, maybe she. I mean Puerto Rico is part of this United States, but maybe there's some type of. They didn't get that channel in Puerto Rico.
Monet X Change
Well, this kind of look. He reminds me of when kids. Kim was like, well, we didn't have that in Korea. And, and when I was this. Is that plastique? Do what?
Jacob
Plastique was also like, we didn't have Beyonce growing up.
Monet X Change
Yeah. And then they were like, I think, I think Beyonce was in. I think, I think people in Vietnam know Beyonce. And RuPaul was like. Because Kim was like, well, I think Pitch Perfect came out when I was in Korea. And RuPaul was like, well, it was last summer.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, I thought about saying that stuff that, about some stuff for me about St. Lucia, but none of it worked out in my favor. I always just did a set up for tv.
Monet X Change
Well, it's also fun to be like, you know, I just, I just don't follow Oprah because I, I don't know if Oprah was on television in, in Puerto Rico, but I just know that Oprah was on. Oprah was on network television. She was not, she was not on cable. That, that I do know. Which. Really. Yeah. Oprah wasn't on MTV or Google. When Oprah went off the air, I feel like I was in New York. No, I was not in New York. Wow. 2005. I was in college, I think.
Bob the Drag Queen
2005.
Jacob
That's not the truth, Monet. That was 2011.
Monet X Change
I was in New York. I remember. I was like. I remember being in New York for, like, Oprah's last episode, because Beyonce did
Jacob
run the world against that projection, holographic, like, the projection screen for a final show that was.
Monet X Change
No, she did it for music awards. She did it for Oprah, too.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I think she made. I think she. I think she redid it on Oprah, but she did it for the American musical. Was it or. No, it was. It was for Glastonbury.
Monet X Change
No, she did it for. Maybe she did a lot, but I know the first time she did. The first way. The first time. The first time Beyonce did that projecting thing was for the American Music Awards because there was a big controversy because this Italian artist, this Italian musician did a very, very similar performance. But then people are like, Beyonce stole from her. But it was just that they hired the same creative director for that one.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm gonna take your. Your American Music Awards and Rachel Glassmere. I think Glassbury was the first time she did it.
Monet X Change
Maybe the American Music Awards were filmed in Glastonbury. They. They were outsourcing. They're outsourcing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Argue with you, too.
Monet X Change
You say you what?
Bob the Drag Queen
I was about to argue with you.
Monet X Change
Beyonce on Oprah. Oh, why does it look like she doing it at a bar mitzvah? Beyonce was so teeny.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I, I. I forget that for Oprah's final show, she did it, like, not just the final show, like, the final couple of shows. She did it at, like, a. At like a. At a stadium.
Shannon Maldonado
Jeez.
Monet X Change
Listen. The final. S. Rivalry. We're going to do that Massacre Garden.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God, Bob.
Commercial Narrator
Don't be.
Jacob
Don't be.
Bob the Drag Queen
Don't be speaking this into our lives.
Monet X Change
And I'm ready to wrap it up, so let's go ahead and book it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, so they're making these Oprah looks. And I was like, oh, my God.
Monet X Change
This is.
Bob the Drag Queen
This the birth of executive realness. This is the birth of executive realness.
Monet X Change
This is. That is on Drag Race. Can we please. Can we please qualify that, please?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. On Drag Race. Like, this is the birth of executive realness.
Monet X Change
Well, this is the first time Drag Race has displayed the notion of executive realness.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's try that same thing, is what I'm trying to say.
Monet X Change
I was tickled when Chanel said Oprah's God. And Bebe goes, no, no, you can't say that. I'm very spiritual. That's such a Bibi Zahara Benet. You cannot say that. You don't say that. I'm spiritual, so you can't say that.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's so beautify. I love that they're painting, and I love that Akasha is, like, really going in and, like, doing different proportions, doing brick of cheeks. Like, she's really trying to sink into this, like, Oprah impersonation, which I can I get because it's very, I think, female impersonation. Not feeling. Sorry, what's the word I'm looking for? Imitation. Impersonation is really hard. And when, like, people like Vivian and other girls go on to show and they do it really well, I'm very impressed by it. Because just because you can do makeup does not mean you can fucking impersonate someone. It's very hard to do.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I don't know that Akasha nailed it to be.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you're trying.
Monet X Change
When I saw her carving it all out and then I saw her makeup, I was like, she looks the same. But, like, when I see girls doing all this crazy carving and then they do their face, I'm like, where did all that stuff go?
Bob the Drag Queen
This is true. This is true. But bitch.
Monet X Change
But I appreciate the effort for sure. Jade Sotomayor struggling with blackface. The black. You know, I wonder if your soon to be husband had the same struggle when he was doing blackface or if he just. You're Justin Trudeau. You say he's leaving his wife for someone. I saw you eating the chips. I wonder if Justin Trudeau struggled or if he just did it. I wonder if Justin Trudeau was like, should I do blackface or should I? Or Jade was like, Jade was like, I'm gonna be forced to do blackface.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then she goes, then what gag is me? Is this seriousness going to Bebe? I'm like, hey, so I have some darker foundations, but I'm gonna need to borrow some darker powder to really, like, do the impersonation.
Monet X Change
Like. Like this.
Bob the Drag Queen
The gravity, how serious the conversation is, it's sending me into orbit.
Monet X Change
And then Chanel just laughs in her face. Chanel's like, idiots. Idiots. Listen to me, fool.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. Poor Jaden.
Monet X Change
That's not the point. And then the way they edited all the girls just, like, pointing and laughing, just like. I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I feel bad because J, she was being very sincere. She was like. Like, you can tell. She was like, I can't believe I have to do blackface on the show, but, like, this is a challenge, and I guess, like, I have to do it. Like, you could tell, like, that's the place she's coming from, and it feels. It feels bad to watch.
Monet X Change
I wish that someone would have been like, hey, that's. That's a. I wanted. Let's all just quickly discuss how problematic blackface is before we move on. Let's just go ahead and bring that up. But yeah, so. So Jay finds out she does not have to darken her skin to do this challenge. Chanel informs her that it's like, it's. It's fine, baby. It's gonna be fine. And then RuPaul does the walkthroughs. Akasha says something I think is so funny. I. I talk about Oprah. I know that she's a very giving person. We'll give her a last dollar to help someone in need. I don't know that we know that about Oprah. I don't know that we know that Oprah will give her last dollar. I think Oprah is very giving, and we know that she does give a lot of stuff, but I don't know that one of the things, you know, Oprah is giving her last dollar.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, that's interesting you say that, because, I mean, when you think about Oprah, what you think about it.
Monet X Change
I don't have my phone in here.
Bob the Drag Queen
You think about this very, like, Oprah's presence in the multiverse, in all of our lives is this very rich, charitable woman that will get. That gives away everything. Right? And that was a kind of the same space that Ellen occupied for a while. And then, like, all this stuff with her being mean kind of, like, clouded a lot of that. But Oprah and Ellen just came off of these very charitable people that would, like, that would give you the last penny they had because they're just so giving. And I think that's what the way
Monet X Change
I saw it was. They would give you a lot because they have so much. But I didn't see it as giving to the point of it hurting. I just saw it as them giving away a lot because they have so much. But I never saw it like Oprah would give you her last dollar. What I saw was Oprah has $1 billion, and she would give you 1,000 of them. Oprah has a billion dollars, and she'll give you 10,000, 20,000, but Oprah will not give you her last. That.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Oprah will give me her last dollar. Do what I think Oprah would Give me her last dollar.
Monet X Change
Well, you know, once we get down to the last dollar, we will, we will, we will find out.

Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, I wrote a note here about oh yes, Rebecca. I find it very interesting that Rebecca is choosing to make because they give them clothes to choose from, but she's choosing to make her own. And I mean we'll talk about it later, but when she makes it's like fine. Just like a two dress, like a, like a little, a little cowl.
Monet X Change
I thought it looked really nice. I liked it. Personally, I think it was fine. I did like when Rebecca said, I don't like to talk about people behind their back. That's not my style. But I wrote that down. I don't like to talk about people behind their back. That's not my style. But. But I've always thought that big jewels and like extreme makeup were just a way to cover up for a lack of talent. How much did the producers have to twist your arm to get that out? Cause it really just seemed to roll off the lips.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was in. Loving this walkthrough. Ru's, like, talking to Chanel. Chanel's talking to Ru about why she's choosing this dress. She's like, well, this is way too. This is way too couture for Oprah. Oprah couldn't wear something this nice. But if she was gonna. I was like, damn, bitch. Oprah. Oprah can wear something that nice.
Monet X Change
A little country. I recently saw a clip of Oprah on my FYP of her wearing all these, like, extremely, like, futuristic looks in the 90s. And she was like. Like, issa Miyaki says, we're only wearing this. This dress is made from straw or plastic. And, you know, I think she's like, mugler says, we're all going to be wearing things made from this. And it's just like this clip of Oprah wearing these, like, extremely couture garments on a green screen, talking about sustainable fashion. Like, it probably wasn't the 90s, but it was probably the early 2000s.
Bob the Drag Queen
Interesting. Yeah.
Monet X Change
And they literally just randomly. I just saw. I just randomly saw a clip of Oprah wearing couture, and I was like, so maybe Chanel missed that episode. Maybe Chanel was busy not looking at the screen when Oprah wore those couture
Bob the Drag Queen
garments I love on my screen. I think Chanel is so funny. She is having. Chanel is gold this season. I'm obsessed. She's brilliant.
Monet X Change
TV in the way, but she doesn't like the way that she. But she's, like, her level of confidence. I'm obsessed with Marvel.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a marvelous. It's marvelous.
Monet X Change
I'm obsessed. And then, of course, RuPaul tells him they also have to do a challenge. This is when. So RuPaul tells him at the end of the walkthrough, she's like, well, just so you know, you're gonna have to also go through Oprah's entire career and make that, like, do her. Her. Her time as a news anchor, her time as a. As a talk show host, and Oprah's favorite things. And.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, I mean, what do they think the challenge is going to be? Just impersonate, Like, I guess. I. What did they. I mean, again, this is a layer they couldn't foresee, like, all these three things. But what did they think they were going to do is just look like Oprah and, like, do us, like what?
Monet X Change
Well, I mean, bear in mind, this is season one, right? They have no framework, so maybe they thought it was just going to Be dressed like Oprah and walk down the Runway in the clothes and see who looks the most like Oprah. Now we know there's going to always going to be a little twist. We now no one's. No one's literally shocked when RuPaul says and you and your makeover have to choreograph a dance based off the bitbop boop bor porp.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what I mean? You want me on that? Such a, such a, such a stupid thing. They add. They add that seems like it never has any be on the.
Monet X Change
Anyway, we're not. Someone's triggered someone. That sounds personal.
Bob the Drag Queen
I won. I won mine. So. What are you talking about?
Monet X Change
You won one of them and you think you went home on one too. So you had nothing to do with that. So I think it kind of evens out because you kind of.
Bob the Drag Queen
Anyway, first of all, the first time didn't even show it. It wasn't even part of the thing
Monet X Change
out of the side of my mouth. I just want to say you did win.
Bob the Drag Queen
How about the side of your mouth? You take my dick in your mouth. How about that?
Monet X Change
But also you lost that.
Bob the Drag Queen
So they try that. They can't try that out of your mouth.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I'm not. That's not the only fans content I'm interested in creating personally. And if I go down onlyfans content, I don't think I'll be sucking dick out of the side of my mouth. Also, also whenever I see someone like send like a picture of them or any kind of like dick sucking porn, I'm not interested in the dick in the side of the rubbing against the closed teeth. You've seen this?
Bob the Drag Queen
I've seen this. And it only happens in straight porno, never gay porn. I've never seen gay guys.
Monet X Change
I've seen people send pictures of it like. And I'm like, I don't think that I'm. That doesn't speak to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Realizing how I was looking at. And I know I always talk about how red you are. You have. You are severely red today.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it's the light. Cause look.
Monet X Change
What do you mean? Because look. Do the light change? What do you mean? Cause look.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause this I look redder and here I'm like normal.
Monet X Change
But I was realizing that. Do I have very cool undertones? Is that what's going on?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, Bob. You have yellow undertones.
Monet X Change
I feel like I have bluer even undertones.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you're yellow.
Monet X Change
There's this. There's a filter on TikTok that'll tell you if your metal is gold or if your metal is silver and gold.
Shannon Maldonado
Silver.
Monet X Change
Apparently, I am perfect for both.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's that lyric? A bitch sound brighter than the fucking sun. No, bitch, your skin. Literally, when you wrote that lyric, you were talking about yourself for a while.
Monet X Change
A bitch shine brighter than the fucking sun. Don't watch football, but this a home run. Can I just. Okay, give me, give me, give me, give me further. I want to break down the lyrics from Bitch Like Me. Just the first verse. Okay, you know what?
Bob the Drag Queen
Before you say that, I have a screenshot. I literally. I was listening at the gym the other day, and I was literally gonna just post the screenshot of me at the gym listening to it and say, bitch a fucking bop. So you're welcome. I almost did that the other day,
Monet X Change
and I forgot thank you, because you almost promoted bitch. Sit down. What I said is a bitch like me is a stunty queen, meaning I pull stunts, okay? Guaranteed, you don't really fucking want me queen. Okay? Y' all ain't ready for a cunty queen me, y'. All. You're not prepared for someone like me. Okay, you high. You bespoken on a blunty queen. That's a shout out to Monet specifically, because she's always high. Because I'm the queen of the track. I'm a pimp named Slick Back. This is because I watch Tick Tock a lot. Need a break? Then eat a Kit Kat because I'm a shotgun with the kickback bow.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I have an idea for Tick Tock. Can you of you teach me how to do that?
Monet X Change
Oh. Shout out. Shout out. Gravity. Marc Jacobs for choreographing that for me. And we just did Outside Line. I just did my first music festival. Have we talked about. How was it? Have we talked about on the podcast yet?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. Did we?
Monet X Change
I don't know, but it was. I don't think we have. No, we did.
Jacob
No, we have not.
Monet X Change
Oh, we did not. We talked about you.
Jacob
You were going, but we haven't actually.
Monet X Change
Yeah, it was very, very fun. I was performing.
Bob the Drag Queen
You were sitting in the living room, and we did the thing with. With Brennan, and I talked about it.
Monet X Change
Anyway, maybe not on podcast. I was right between the Foo Fighters and Lana Del Rey.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow. Did you see Lana?
Monet X Change
I saw her as I was leaving. I saw her on the big screen, and Lana Del Rey was apparently allegedly running late, so she was just getting her hair done on stage. So she went on while they were just doing her hair. I got my red dress with Someone I got my red dress on.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's kind of fears. That's kind of fears.
Monet X Change
But yeah, she was. Let me start now. I don't care who, who, who, who you are, bitch. These festivals are like, you're gonna go on time, bitch. I don't care if you're out there getting your makeup done. Let me tell you what you not gonna do. I don't care if you're Lana Del Rey. I don't care if you're Jesus Christ. You better. You're gonna hit the stage when we tell you to hit the stage.
Bob the Drag Queen
When I went to go to ACL last year, Boy George was performing and at the end of his thing, he was like, oh, we're a little bit over time. But we're just gonna go and we're just gonna do one cut off, girl. Lights cut off in the middle of the sentence. I was gagged.
Monet X Change
Yeah, they don't care. They're not playing with you hoes. They don't care who you are. I don't care if you have Grammys. I don't care if you're an icon. I don't care what you. When we say go, you go. And when we say stop, baby, you're gonna stop. And that's the lesson.
Shannon Maldonado
Imagine Beyonce.
Bob the Drag Queen
Imagine Beyonce at a festival. You would never cut Beyonce off. I'm sorry about it. You're not gonna Beyonce.
Monet X Change
Well, we don't know. Cause Beyonce's not gonna be doing any music festival. So this is not something that we'll ever have to figure out. But the thing is, the reason why is because there are acts who are on the stage before and after you. There are also other stages. So if you go too late, there will just be two stages playing at the exact same time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
So you would think to yourself then, I think Lana Del Rey was like one of the biggest names they had there. Foo Fighters. There was Foo Fighter, London Del Rey. I think Lana Del Rey was the big, big headliner. She was the big headliner. And they were like, girl, you're going to go on time. This is not up for debate. You're going to go up there, take your little hairdresser, go to the stage and have this thing put your. Put the fucking pan in while you fucking talk about your summertime sadness. You know what's up? You know what's sad? You not being ready on time. That's the summertime sadness, Lana.
Bob the Drag Queen
My pussy tastes like Pepsi color.
Monet X Change
They're like, well, your contract's going to taste like overage fees if you don't if you don't hit the stage.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did you hear about the whole Frank Ocean drama? Coachella?
Monet X Change
Wait, Coachella was recently.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, it was. It wasn't. It was like, two months ago, but it was.
Shannon Maldonado
He.
Bob the Drag Queen
He just did not end up doing the set that he was supposed to do. He. He, like, paid Coachella paid for to turn his stage into an ice rink, and he was like, having ice skaters on this thing. At the last minute, he was like, yeah, I don't want to do that. No, more like, literally like an hour before. So they had to, like, or like two hours before they had to melt down the whole stage. It was like a whole drama. It was wild.
Monet X Change
That's interesting. That's very interesting now. Thank you. Thank you so much for turning it. Thank you so much for. For flying in this ice to the middle of the desert. Lame. Bad idea. What was I thinking? Anyway? Do the old thing, melt the ice.
Bob the Drag Queen
Boom. It was wild.
Monet X Change
Back to Queens of or.
Jacob
It was his first performance in a really long time, and he didn't end up doing music. He just did a DJ set and then left.
Shannon Maldonado
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Wait, he, like, what?
Bob the Drag Queen
He sang, like, three songs and the rest he just, like, DJ'd and, like, lip sync to it. And then he had the people who were supposedly ice skating, they were still there, so now they're just, like, walking around in front of him. So you can. So his. The view of him has been obstructed, like, oftentimes by these people just walking in front of him.
Monet X Change
I'm screaming. I'm screaming is my new favorite thing. I'm screaming is so funny because I've got Ocean Kelly got me saying this instead of laughing. Ocean Kelly just goes, I'm screaming. This is so funny. I'm screaming. I'm screaming. So during the challenge, they do this teleprompter challenge, right? They do. By the way, I want to do the teleprompter with you, Monet. So you and I should go to YouTube, type in teleprompter challenge and. And read one Teleprompter challenge. I mean, we could probably do different ones, right? But it has.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. Or can Jacob just pull one up for each of us so we can have in the game?
Shannon Maldonado
Yeah, I have.
Jacob
I have one. I'm going to send it to you on fascia book.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or can you just share it with Matt? Can we just do it like that?
Jacob
And I think I can. I can try if you're. You're interested. But I feel like Riverside when you're sharing kind of like Gets pixely and weird.
Monet X Change
Well, I think we should pull them up on our own. Yeah, but there's. There's. There's a lot of challenges on the Internet.
Jacob
I just.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just.
Jacob
I just sent one, too. On.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Jacob says shut the fuck up. I already sent it.
Monet X Change
Is that what Jacob said? Jacob said that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Jacob
Sorry. Yeah. Did you. Did you. I can say it again if you need me to.
Monet X Change
You said shut the fuck up, Jacob. Oh, my God. Okay. I have my.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm ready. I'm ready. Can I go?
Monet X Change
Yeah, go ahead.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. In today's news, a man with two wooden legs circumnavigates the globe twice. And a squirrel made from solid gold is discovered in a tree in Westminster. Arthur Bentley of Woodley Chase is in West Ham and has completed the amazing feat of walking around the world not once, but twice. Arthur took a year out from his job of testing elastic bands to walk around our planet and raise money for disadvantaged people around the world. Moving on to a rather bizarre story. Westminster local Gladys Simcroft was walking her dog in her local park when she saw something glittering in the tree branches. Using her walking stick, she was able to knock down the object, only to find it was a squirrel. But crafted out of solid gold. It turns out these have been made to allow corrupt politicians to hide their illegal bribes. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. That wraps our news segment. Now over on to Giles on. On the money desk. Money matters.
Monet X Change
I feel like you rewind it. Did you rewind?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, my hands were right here.
Monet X Change
Were they? Oh, I. I should do a different one. I already heard one. I should do. I should do a different one. That won't be fair. If I do the same one.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Jacob, give this. Give this a different one.
Monet X Change
But also, I will say the one they had was wild.
Bob the Drag Queen
They had crazy words in it.
Monet X Change
The names, the places.
Jacob
I just sent you a screenshot of
Bob the Drag Queen
gay bars like me. I was approximately 1 minute and 47 minutes. 1 minute to 40 second sevens in on Thursday.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but you didn't do it, Monet. You didn't. I'm not. I'm not big upping you for thinking about promoing me once. Once?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I only promoted you once.
Shannon Maldonado
You.
Monet X Change
You promo me? Never. You thought about it once. Yeah, yeah. Take. Yeah. That's how you breathe. That's how you was breathing on a treadmill the other day. Winded as hell. No. 0 incline, going half mile an hour. Breathing heavy.
Bob the Drag Queen
What the fuck are you talking about, bitch? Read your fucking teleprompter, bitch.
Monet X Change
Wait, Jacob, did you send it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, he did.
Jacob
Yeah, I did.
Monet X Change
I'll have to find. I'm not on my computer. Sorry. Give me a second. Here we go.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, here we go. The cheating already starting, y'.
Shannon Maldonado
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
Y' all see it anyway.
Monet X Change
All right, here we go. Welcome to Royal Roundup, where we give the latest news on everything royal. Harry and Meghan are in the news a great, great deal these days. And the question we're going to ask today is do they deserve to be? For those of you who are not yet familiar with their story, Harry and Meghan met in 2016, appeared at their first public event together in 2017, and finally married in 2018. They courted controversy many times and have brought a huge amount of interest to an otherwise unremarkable family. Whilst Harry and Meghan may seem unpopular, they have dragged the royal family back into the spotlight more effectively than any other pre orchestrated PR campaign. Baby, the way I mine was so much longer.
Bob the Drag Queen
8 mine was so much longer.
Monet X Change
I like to eat E E Puss and Beninis because that was bananas. Mine was more like look for like very harder or difficult teleprompter. I gave.
Jacob
I gave.
Bob the Drag Queen
Dynamics.
Monet X Change
I gave. Okay, first of all, I laughed.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I did laugh. Mine too.
Monet X Change
My laugh sounded natural.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, natural is a three dollar bill.
Monet X Change
But I. I think that, to be fair, both of ours were easier than what these girls did. They had Kuala Lumpur. Also, total side note, while Jacob Lucy's up, I want to remind y' all that Rebecca Gladcock did not even speak English four years before this.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's wild.
Monet X Change
She did not even speak English. And I think that she read that probably the best out of everyone. I really think she did.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you give us one in Spanish?
Monet X Change
Ooh, us. Okay.
Jacob
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Eat espanol. Okay. Okay. We can do the same one in Spanish. I'll go first this time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why?
Shannon Maldonado
You go first.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
I'll give you the opportunity to hear. To hear a more so.
Bob the Drag Queen
So. So that when I do it better, you can say Monet.
Monet X Change
Because I prefer to hear someone who's trained.
Jacob
So I sent you one. It's like there's an intro of a guy being like, can you do this?
Monet X Change
Okay, here we go. All right, I'm going. Here we go. I'm ignoring the guy. Here we go. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Bob the Drag Queen
I am sweating. I am sweating. I need to open the window. I am sweating.
Jacob
Jesus Christ.
Monet X Change
So imagine how this must have felt for the people who were having a language barrier and trying to do this podcast at the same time. That was wild. Lord have mercy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. That is hilarious.
Monet X Change
Okay, okay, let's get back to our notes. So.
Bob the Drag Queen
So the episode, the challenge starts.
Monet X Change
I think Rebecca's doing. I think Rebecca did the best on the teleprompter. Of all the people. And I think that maybe the. The ones who's struggling the most is probably maybe Nina and Akasha.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I would say Nina Akasha. But we'll see. We'll talk about this later on with the judging. They thought Nina did a overall good job. And I mean, work. We weren't in a room, but on the, on the TV show, I mean, it was struggling a little bit.
Monet X Change
The things Nina's Plug it In and Blow is one of my favorite drag race quotes of all time. Just plug it in and blow. That is one of my all time favorite drag race quotes that I just. That was one that stuck in my head. I think they kept playing it over and over again on the. On the commercials it. On the trailer.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Chanel doesn't. Chanel looks like Andorra. She's like Andorra with dark hair.
Monet X Change
No, Andorra doesn't know Andorra wears calf tans.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know, but she's giving Andorra like this like very. But. But she Andorra sometimes wear like elaborate like very like structural looking thing. Cuz she was like witchy.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Yeah, kind of. They were always like floor length and really flowy. Andor is a gay icon, by the way. Andor is a gay eye. Is he And Dora. Yes. She was a bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was.
Monet X Change
She was fierce. She would show up, do her equipment age.
Bob the Drag Queen
For a certain demographic. She is.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Yeah. For those of us who can appreciate the finer things in life, that's called a full circle, honey. But no, yeah. I love indoor. Obviously. I used to. I used to upset. I used to say I was that kid who used to watch Nick at night every night.
Bob the Drag Queen
I used to watch at night too.
Monet X Change
But also, girl, I went back and rewatched Nick and I recently, girl. They were showing shows from my childhood. I was like, not. Don't. Not too much with family matters. Being on a good night. Not too much with family matters.
Bob the Drag Queen
Too much family matter.
Monet X Change
That's too much for Full House on Nick at night, y'. All. This is too. Is. Is when I. It was like I Love Lucy. I dream of Genie.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, like that.
Monet X Change
But anyway, I I Love Lucy was. Was a real Bob. That's how I watched. It was through Nick at night. I think that BB did really, really well with the interview. Bebe also just looks. I like Bibi's look the best. She looks amazing to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Bibi looks really good. I was gagged that Nina. Well, Nina like, she was just trying to pronounce hit show, but she started smelling H I.
Monet X Change
That was wild.
Bob the Drag Queen
And Tor and Dean was like, oh, you have hiv. I wish you Would have told me that was.
Monet X Change
I was like, this is wild.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's the word? With an F. Not foresight. Foreshadowing.
Monet X Change
Oh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Something that happens later on in the season with Angina. It was kind of like, what I think next episode. It's kind of wild.
Monet X Change
Well, Angina's the one who was like, how is Tori's hiv? Like, Angina was the one who asked, you know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
But anyway. But I. Yeah. Oh, girl. Chanel was a interview train wreck. It was. What. Now, tell me, was this. Was motherhood exactly what you thought it'd be, or was it harder? Or was it easier?
Jacob
Or.
Monet X Change
Or did you find things challenging? Or were they not telling you at all? Or was it really right where you. And I was like, girl. By the way she interviews the way I interview. When I did The All Stars 2 interview, that was. That's when I realized I'm not in the. I'm not in these streets to be. I can. I can have guests who are friends of mine, but I can't conduct interviews. I can't do it. It's not for me. And the reason why I can't conduct well, because you're good at conducting interviews. But I think a big reason why I can't conduct interviews because I'm. The real truth is I'm more interested in, like, being funny and having fun than I am in what you have to promote. I would rather I want to make jokes more than have you promote your movie, to be honest. And I'm aware of that now. That's something I know about myself.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I mean, we've both. I'm sure I have. I'm sure you have been in an interview and someone has asked. They ask you, like, three questions. You're like, okay, wait, what was the first part again? You're like, bitch, I can't keep up.
Monet X Change
How do you do questions you hate?
Bob the Drag Queen
Where did I get my direct name? Like, shit, that I've answered 19,000 times. I'm like, if you just literally just Google it. It's like the basic ones people ask all the time. It's so annoying.
Monet X Change
I don't really mind those so much. Cause I realize that maybe someone out there will be seeing this interview, and this is the first time they see
Jacob
me in the interview.
Monet X Change
What I hate is really broad questions like, what was it like filming RuPaul's Drag Race? I'm sorry, what. What was. What was it like being a New York City drag queen? What was it like when I was a New York City drag queen for 13 years? So let me. Let me sum up all 13 years in one sentence for you. Like, it was a lot of things. It was. It was. It was good. It was bad. There were, like, many, many things. I prefer they zone in and be like, you know, did you have any feelings the night you won Drag Race? Or. What was one of the biggest.
Bob the Drag Queen
At a time when you body slammed that guy at hardware, what was really going through your head?
Monet X Change
Yeah. What was one of your biggest trials? What was one of your biggest. What was a memory from being on your city drag queen as opposed to. What was it like being a New York City drag queen girl? It's too much. I can't answer that quickly.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I mean, sometimes. And I will give a cunty answer. They're like, where'd you get your drag name from? I'm like, well, I've asked this question a lot, so, I mean, I'm sure you're gonna. I'm sure. I'm sure you're gonna hear. This is gonna be exact replica of what I said before. But. And I just do it, like, in, like a. In like a one sentence. I'm like, oh, Z, Barbie. And I got it. Da, da, da, da.
Monet X Change
You like doing interviews, though? You like interviewing people?
Bob the Drag Queen
I like interviewing people. I don't necessarily like doing interviews, but I do like interviewing people.
Monet X Change
No, that's what I meant. Like, being an interviewer. You like conducting interviews?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, I do. I really enjoy it.
Monet X Change
And, like, like, yeah, I just. I could do an interview, but it has to be like, Zway style. It can't be like Jimmy Fallon. It has to be where, like, I'm. I'm like, it has to be like, there has to be a goofy angle to it. I can't just ask you to promote your. Your. Your. Your. Your album. I don't know. I don't have it in me, and I'm aware of that now. If y' all want to see a train wreck of interview, go back and watch me at the Build Studios interviewing the cast of All Stars 2.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you did tmower you when I was going in. That was a. That was a really fun interview. You were being silly, but you were also getting good questions.
Monet X Change
I. It took so much effort, y'. All the effort I had to put into not cracking jokes. And I had to be like, oh, God, this is gonna be so hard. Okay. But I was still, like, being very, very silly the whole time. Like, I probably should have been a little more serious.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was good. I thought it was really good
Monet X Change
on the main stage. The Guest judge is Deborah Wilson. But then who is this other guy that just randomly showed up? Who was he?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. They didn't say who he was.
Monet X Change
He showed up after the. After the Runway.
Bob the Drag Queen
Somebody, cousin.
Monet X Change
It was. It was literally like. It was literally like RuPaul was like our ex. Special guest judge Deborah Wilson. And then this other guy just showed up out of nowhere.
Jacob
Who.
Monet X Change
I. I'm sure he's quite famous. I just don't know who he. Who he.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know who he is either. I don't recognize his voice or him.
Monet X Change
Deborah Wilson has. Is quite interesting these days. You know, she's like. She's. I don't know if she does comedy anymore, really.
Bob the Drag Queen
She is so funny and such a good, caring.
Monet X Change
She's very funny. Insane. She's. She was Mad tv. You don't know. Deborah Wilson was on Mad TV Gold.
Bob the Drag Queen
Gold. And every time she. And she. She impersonated Whitney Houston and Oprah a lot. And. And she can also sing, so she was like. So it's like her, like, doing, like, her. Her voice is. She was such a great comedian, a great singer, great actor. I wish she was. I saw something recently, though. She was in a. She was in something recently, a documentary, I think, about Maxine from Living Single. I saw her in something recently.
Monet X Change
I saw her in the documentary on Netflix about the Jamaican psychic who wasn't Jamaican.
Bob the Drag Queen
Ms. Cleo.
Monet X Change
She was in the Ms. Cleo documentary. And I didn't even recognize because now she has, like, a lot of tattoos and, like, these piercings and she shaved her head. I didn't. I didn't recognize her.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really.
Monet X Change
Google Deborah Wilson right now. You'll see her look is completely different.
Bob the Drag Queen
I use.
Monet X Change
I was like.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was like.
Monet X Change
I was like. I was like, is that Deborah Wilson?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, wow. And she. And so, I mean, I would. But we should. We should get into the. Into the. Into the. Into the documentary space. And, like, I would. We should do a civil Robbie production presents. I want to, like, find out about her life. Like, what happened. Not what happened that way. Like, why she's not acting anymore.
Monet X Change
Well, I have a documentary that I want to make. I have a mini doc that I want to make.
Bob the Drag Queen
What.
Monet X Change
I want to make one called Finding the Demon Twink, where we search for the. Because, you know, the demon twink is, like, elusive. Like, no one knows who the demon twink is. And it was this whole thing in the New York City gay scene where people were like, who is the demon twink who threw the cocktail on the DJ Table during the Britney Spears cruise. Finding the demon Twinkle. You and I go to New York City. We hit the ground, we walk around, we find out who and where the demon twink is.
Bob the Drag Queen
A whole bunch of, like, rows that lead to this one and that one and the end just went like, we can't find him. We just go to hardware and, hey, there he is,
Monet X Change
throwing drinks at the dj.
Bob the Drag Queen
We should, like, mockumentary style, like a fake one. And Nick Smith should play the demon's wing in our mockumentary.
Monet X Change
I want to do a real one. I want to. I want to find the real demon and twing. I want to know what is up, what was he thinking, what was going through his head. But I would also love to find out what's. You know, I want to find out, like, what's. I want to do a deep dive, although it's been done before, where we actually talk to James King Tyra and be like, what happened here? The whole.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, she did a. She did. She did. She did. Joe. Oh, sorry. He did Josh shepherd soul recently.
Monet X Change
Oh, did he?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Like. Like in the. Within this year.
Monet X Change
I want to find out, like, what's up with Robbie Turner that. Where has she been?
Bob the Drag Queen
7 Rivalry. I will. I would. I would partner with Sim. Partner with some rubber Survivor. Should you.
Monet X Change
That'd be so kind of you. Thank you, Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's do it. Let's do the Robbie Turner documentary. And we're gonna call it. It's. Is going to be called Uber.
Monet X Change
I think Uber might have. Umbridge might take umbrage with that or share, and it'd be hard. It'd be hard to Google. All right, let's get back on topic. So on the. On as they do. So they're. They're doing their very best drag. Let's look at this. Let's look at their drag. This is the first time on the
Bob the Drag Queen
main stage, y', all, that they're getting to wear, like, things that they brought from home. Like, this is the first time they get to bring the. That they spent money on to the show.
Monet X Change
And let's talk about RuPaul. I actually love this dress RuPaul's wearing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I like it, too.
Monet X Change
It's a tank gown. It looks really great.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a what gown?
Monet X Change
Tank at the top. Oh, the top is like a tank top.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I like the graphic stars. And I think this is. I think this is beautiful. Ru looks great.
Monet X Change
This is the time that RuPaul had the shelf titty.
Shannon Maldonado
Girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Someone just took a fucking squash ball and fucking put that shit in RuPaul's body.
Monet X Change
But we've all had a show. We've all had a wonky titty at some point in time. Our life.
Bob the Drag Queen
We all have. We all have for sure.
Monet X Change
And this is season one, y'.
Bob the Drag Queen
All.
Monet X Change
This is season one. The budget was not budgeting quite yet, but she looks good, though. I do love this look.
Bob the Drag Queen
Chanel look is insane. It's so cool.
Monet X Change
And it's. She looks great in this season one, episode three. Like, I don't know that we were expecting this level of dry. If you. This could. This could win a Runway to day.
Bob the Drag Queen
Agreed. Agreed. She looks great. The makeup is so good. This headpiece is so brilliantly done. Having the titty bib, but having the. The snakes draped around and coming around the bread, it's so well done. And the. She looks amazing.
Monet X Change
And bear in mind, y', all, this is filmed in 1973. So this was wild that they were able to. No, but this was 2007-2008-2007-2008. This is wild.
Bob the Drag Queen
2008.
Monet X Change
Yeah. It might have been the only thing I would say in 2007, for all we know. I don't remember. I don't know when it was filmed. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
The only thing I would change would be she. I wish she did black nails, like the French. The French manicure on this is like. I'm like, it's, like, too nice. She had done black nails. I think that would have been really cool.
Monet X Change
And for that reason, she deserved to be in the bottom. All right, let's go into angina. Angina looks so fashion forward. I don't. You know, I actually don't mind the doll on the head. I usually hate that kind of thing, but something about this version of it I just really like. I just wish the doll was wearing the same thing she was wearing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah. And she. She could just spray painted black. We wouldn't know the difference because the dress is.
Monet X Change
It looks the same, but it's white, you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Yeah. I. I like Adonis, too. I think it's very similar to something she wore already here. Actually, it was just in black when she wore that loofah thing or it's like the same silhouette, the same shape. So that bothers me a little bit. But I do think her. Their headpiece, and I think she looks cool.
Monet X Change
I would love if the. If. If the dollar. If she had a purse like the doll and the doll had a small doll on her head, that would be a really cute.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my. How small is this doll gonna be?
Monet X Change
Just small enough. It could be a Lego. It could be a Lego on the. On the head of the Barbie. They make small dolls. I like, drink, though. I think she looks really nice. And honestly, I'm glad they. Someone finally said it. Like, I like you bald. Because, like, I. I thought they're gonna be pushing her to wear wigs the whole time and if. If her let. No, they did. They said it last. They said. They said a second episode.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I mean, like, in the seasons where, like, when Dusty Ray comes with dots and they're like, we hate dots. Don't do them ever again. They weren't doing that yet.
Monet X Change
That was wild. Episode one, that was what? We've seen the dots thing. Yeah. Today, bitch. Today.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's go on to Ms. Rebecca Glasscock,
Monet X Change
who I think wearing dots on dots. Ass dot, bitch. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Rebecca looks beautiful.
Monet X Change
Rebecca Glasscock is so stunning here. This is great. She looks.
Bob the Drag Queen
I agree.
Monet X Change
Completely stunning. This hair. Is that her hair line that has.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that might be her hairline. Yeah, it's her hairline with a piece on top of it with a fall.
Monet X Change
There's a little bit of the. A little bit of the. The eyeshadow around the hairline, the contouring.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Monet X Change
My God, y', all, she looks so good. I am blown away. Her. And the judges are right. Her walk is giving Stiffiana.
Bob the Drag Queen
It is. But a lot of the girls have stiff walks, though.
Monet X Change
Well, specifically her and Akasha.
Bob the Drag Queen
Akasha, yeah. And I will say Rebecca also.
Monet X Change
She just.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's just not wearing any padding, and she's wearing, like, this satin material, which shows every nook, hook, crook on your body. So it's for it to, like, be laying so well. Speaks to, like, she. She has her shit together. Like, she looks. She. She's turning it. She looks amazing.
Monet X Change
Low key cake, and she's low key. If she ran that, she would start clapping. Maybe not that much, but her ass was ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was like.
Monet X Change
I was like, is she wearing a butt pad? Because her ass was like.
Bob the Drag Queen
She might be, maybe, but she's not wearing hips, so maybe. I don't know.
Monet X Change
She looks so good. She looks so good. Oh, my God. Nina Flowers Looks amazing. This hair. This must be human, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, that's synthetic.
Monet X Change
You think so?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it's synthetic, yeah.
Monet X Change
I don't know. This shit is. This hair looks stunning. I love this look. I love how she has this, like, this a really hard edge with just some really softness to it. Like, it's like Nina flowers with these bright colors and this, like. Like, this flowy wave hair. She looks really good.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. This flip, this 70s and also, like this, like, to what you're saying too, like. Like how she's always hearkening when I always. Oftentimes we've seen so far in this competition, she, like, harkens back to this era, which is so beautiful. And so I. She looks. She looks great. She looks stunning.
Monet X Change
She's like a punk girl doing 60s, you know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
See what happened when you let the girls do that? When you let the girls do their own drive, they look stunning. Let's go on to Jade. Can I just say up front, I don't think. I mean, maybe the angles weren't right, but the tuck didn't seem that untucky to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
It doesn't seem that meaty to me. Even when they did. Because when they panned to it and she, like, is at an angle and even from that, it didn't look very whatever. But they saw it in the room. I guess she is low key, giving JLo. Her face is beautiful and this hair is gorgeous. I like this outfit. I think. I think Jay looks really good.
Monet X Change
Yeah. These girls look. I'm saying, when you let them do their own thing, they end up looking so stunned. Okay, let's go on to Bebe's Harbor. For me, in my queer experience, this is a cultural reset. I don't care what y' all say. I know this is just the cast. I remember being at home seeing this look and just being like, I have to do drag. I have to. I remember seeing this look and being like, guys, I have to become a drag queen.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. Y', all, this is why Bob the Drag Queen exists.
Monet X Change
I love this look. I recreated this look for. For Black History Month a couple. A couple of years ago. And this is just so good. Bibi. And I know it is a catsuit with a corset, but can we just. She's wearing padding. Bibi is padded.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, for sure.
Monet X Change
Down. And it's not the overcoat with the feathers is whatever. But this. She just looks so good in the hair. And this. She must have made this. So this is obviously a custom wig, clearly.
Bob the Drag Queen
But also the comment that she said, she's like. She's like, I want people to know that Africa is not just about leopards and lions, then revealing into a leopard print catsuit. I was like, what?
Monet X Change
Bibi's camp? Without knowing she's camp. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
To say that Africa is not about just leopards and lions. You know, leopard, like, it was just so random. It was hilarious.
Monet X Change
At the end of the Runway, Jungle Kitty, let's go into Akasha Davis. Who?
Bob the Drag Queen
Akasha Davis.
Monet X Change
Sorry, Akasha who? Who is not having a good day.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. She falls in her dress. I don't think we've ever seen another girl fall on the Runway besides intentional one. Lady Camden, two seasons ago.
Monet X Change
Also wild is like, the mistakes they made this season. Like, you can see when she cuts the corner. You can see Nina Flowers in the back.
Bob the Drag Queen
Huh?
Monet X Change
Like, y', all, like last time that you could see the cords on the ground. Like, yo, what is going. Who is working in post?
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what, Bob, we. We know a thing or two about a season one and two being a little crunchy. Okay. We can. We can testify to that.
Monet X Change
Okay. You know, fair. But also, that was me and you literally a two person operation. But yeah, she. She had failed this. This dress is cute, though. I do like the dress. I mean, I don't know that I would wear it, but it is cute.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do like the dress. I think I. I think that in this time, this, like, chocolate gown with this, like, silver embellishments, I. I would wear that now. I mean, I would make some different choices with how the silver is laid. But I love, first of all, everyone, I love a nude. I love a nude something or the other. And I like. I like the shape of this gown. I think this is beautiful.
Monet X Change
Only I don't like is the hair. The hair is really upsetting me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really? What's wrong with the hair?
Monet X Change
I wish it was an up to.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, yeah, I could see an updo. Yeah. Up do work that too. But I don't think this is terrible.
Monet X Change
So we find out that angina has immunity, so nothing. Nothing really matters. And B.B. zaharbone wins the challenge. And I could have seen it going to. What?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll tell you later. I can't. I'll tell you later.
Monet X Change
And I could have seen it going to either Bibi or Rebecca because they both look stunning and they both did a really good job in the challenge. So I could have seen it going to either Bebe or Rebecca Glasscock.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can see that as well. I can see that as well.
Monet X Change
Right. I think they're. For me, they are the two most stunning queens in the competition. I mean, I think a lot of these queens are stunning, but Bebe and Rebecca, this episode are eating the girlies up.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Chanel is stunning. Is equally as stunning. Chanel, for me,
Monet X Change
what do you think about the judging?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think the judging makes sense. I think that putting Akasha, I Mean, when she did her interview, which I kind of thought was kind of cuddy and kind of brilliant, how they came to greet her and she just sat down, she was like, hi. I'm like, yeah, bitch, I'm a motherfucking queen. Come to me. So I think that on top of, like, her falling on the Runway, where the catalysts are putting her in the bottom, and I can kind of see that. And I'm a queen.
Monet X Change
Come to me as fierce, but, like, for an interview, do you want someone to be like, I'm a queen, Come to me? Also at the end, she's like, say goodbye. Say say bye.
Bob the Drag Queen
And she bends over.
Monet X Change
But the other part of me is like, the thing is also Akasha, like, my interview is great. We don't know. They did not show a single piece of Akashi's interview. They showed them arriving and they showed her leaving. They did not show a liver of a cocktail. So I have.
Bob the Drag Queen
We have.
Monet X Change
No, maybe, maybe A Cosmic View was a hit, but I know that Tori Spelling and her husband, are they still married. Jake, can you Google that? What I was really gagged at when she. I love that her book is called Storytelling. That's so smart.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is storytelling.
Monet X Change
That is such a great storytelling by story. Spelling. That's really smart. In this judging, Akasha just can not catch this one. Every judging. I don't think they've ever said anything nice. No, that's not true. They gave her props for Break the Dawn. They gave her props for Break the Dawn. But, like, I would be defeated.
Bob the Drag Queen
And she was. I mean, her spirit's worn down, though. She was still. She still fought to the end.
Monet X Change
She was literally defeated. Chanel. Chanel sent her packing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Chanel sent her the fuck home. I mean, and this was the iconic. I mean, this is the iconic headpiece falling off of Chanel. And her doing it like that, like, that was such an iconic moment in the show.
Monet X Change
Well, I mean, ironically, right after they can't take away my dignity. And then the head. I remember watching this at home, freaking out because I don't think there were really viewing parties at this point. If there were, I hadn't heard about them. I was watching from home at this point. The bounce, the catch of the head beats the toss. Then she kind of. She pulled a Monet look upstage. Stop lip syncing. Wave the hand. Listen, be mad at Nicole Byer. Nicole Byers, the one that said, you be mad at Nicole. If you're mad at anyone, Bob, we
Bob the Drag Queen
can roll the tape. You're like, I have A. So Monet does this thing literally. You one of the ones that said the thing.
Monet X Change
I said, monet does this thing I didn't say you don't know your words. Nicole said you don't know your words. But you're mad at me because you're afraid of Nicole Byer because you're afraid of the power she has. You're afraid if you call her out, she'll call you out when she's hosting the Emmy. The Emmy. The creative Arts Emmys. You're afraid that she'll call you out when she's. When she's on her television show Grand Crew. You're afraid that she'll call you out when she's hosting Wipeout. You're afraid that she'll call you out on her one of her massive podcasts. You're afraid of her power. Say you're afraid of Nicole right now.
Bob the Drag Queen
So, yes, Nicole's going to take time out of hosting the Emmys to read me. Yeah, that's going to work.
Monet X Change
I would.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know you because you're obsessed, just like you're obsessed with me, just like
Monet X Change
you were afraid of Joe Kim Booster when he dragged you.
Bob the Drag Queen
By the way, I dragged you on Instagram today.
Jacob
Honey.
Monet X Change
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, go to my page. Check that out.
Monet X Change
You didn't see it yet. No, I have. I don't. I don't wake up and scroll through the Internet like you.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is not true. You literally tell this podcast, I don't
Monet X Change
wake up and just start scrolling. I wake up.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, not that. On my page. On my page.
Monet X Change
What I do is I wake up every single day. My whole body changed. Like, she's.
Jacob
Like,
Monet X Change
I once was in a movie with Kate McKinnon. I had a very, very, very small role in the.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, very small. Very, very, very small.
Monet X Change
How was your role in that movie? Did you tell me. Did you tell me you also auditioned but didn't get the part?
Bob the Drag Queen
Who. Whose outfit were you wearing?
Monet X Change
Did you talk about that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Whose outfit were you wearing? Whose outfit were you wearing that show, though? Whose outfit was that?
Monet X Change
Mine, because I paid for it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Whose outfit did you call and beg to borrow?
Monet X Change
Mine, because I paid for. Honey, you paid for it.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, the hell you did not.
Monet X Change
I paid in sweat. I paid in. I paid in equity. Sweat equity. So did you tell them that you auditioned and I got the role?
Bob the Drag Queen
Who audition for the role for Lovecrack Country? We both did. Who got it? Me.
Monet X Change
I did not audition for that. I showed up. I showed up and I literally begged them to give you the role. I said in lieu of auditioning. In lieu of auditioning, please hire my friend who desperately, desperately needs the work, is what I said. And then you got a job. You got droplets. The crumbs that fall off my table land at the kiddie table where you eat. Oh, my God. Anyway, the bottom two queens are Akasha and. And we already talked about that.
Bob the Drag Queen
We talked. The lip sync, bitch.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah. So Chanel was. Chanel wins the lip sync, and Akasha goes home. Deservedly so. I think, you know, this is y'.
Shannon Maldonado
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is such a good season of Drag Race. From the blackface to the week falling off to. This is just such a good season. I'm obsessed. It's a good. I see why this show got renewed. Like, I see. And we all know season two is such a good season two. Like, this is. This is a great show.
Monet X Change
It is a very good show. I'm very grateful to be a part of the Legacy that is RuPaul's Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
TBH. Yeah.
Monet X Change
TBH. All right, Monet, who's going to win season one of RuPaul's Drag Race?
Bob the Drag Queen
Right now, I would still say Chanel.
Monet X Change
You know, even if I hadn't known the season, I would still be saying Bibi Zahara, Bonet, maybe Rebecca Glasscock. But knowing what I know about tv, Chanel is too confident to win. They will not let someone say they're gonna win every episode and then turn around and win the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Uh, you.
Monet X Change
I didn't say that, but they didn't air me saying it. I said it in my interviews, but they never aired it.
Jacob
Also, Aquaria.
Bob the Drag Queen
Aquaria, Bob, from the day one, you were like, I'm gonna win the show. Like, there are clips of you saying that. Like, you were very.
Monet X Change
Clips of me saying it after the show, but not on the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know if that's true. Can someone Bob the dragon videos? Can you please put together all the
Monet X Change
people gonna pay bother Dragon videos for all the work you make them do? The unpaid intern over at Monet Exchange Incorporated,
Bob the Drag Queen
and then of you being literally there. You're in your Meet the queens. I'm blah, blah, blah. And I'm humble.
Monet X Change
Yeah, that's. I want to win. Not everyone can do it like me, honey. All right, we'll see you all next time, all right?
