[Bob the Drag Queen]

My name is Bob the Drag Queen.

[Monet X Change]

And I'm Monet X Change and this is simply rivalry. On today's episode, Bob gifts a cotton gin for Christmas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We wrap up 2020 and we find

[Monet X Change]

out what made Bob the Drag Queen say this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You are going to gaslight gate boss and girl keep right into 2022, aren't you? And we find out what made Mo say this.

[Monet X Change]

Bob, can I tell you about this white man? Can I tell you about this white man? People debunked your little TikTok video. And people spooked that you put the Apple thing under the Samsung. And you put the Samsung under Apple. People spooked you. People clocked you. You're a liar.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, that did not happen.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, I'll. Y' all. Y' all know the tea. We'll, we'll guys keep on talking about the video.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No one literally, you're. Who is your.

[Monet X Change]

Y'.

[Commercial Narrator]

All.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love when you do this thing where you go, y' all people I would do this. I will give you until the end of 2075 to produce one shred of evidence to, to, to support what you're saying. So I'm giving you a full 50 some odd years to do it.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, how about you do that math a little quicker, baby? 50 some odd years. 55 years.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you have all this time to give a. Literally 53 years, even a shred of evidence to support your statements.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, I might dig you up on that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

See, look at you. I'm not. I'm not religious. But God don't like ugly, and God don't like liars, honey.

[Monet X Change]

If God don't like ugly, then why did he bless me so much?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I think right now, you are a liar, honey. So. Hello, Bob.

[Monet X Change]

Welcome to the end of 2021. It's the end of an era. Really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's the era?

[Monet X Change]

The dawning of the age of Simone. Cause that bitch is going down this year. We about to get somebody else. What do you mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God.

[Monet X Change]

Her reign is over, honey. Her reign is over. We're getting somebody new, boo.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is sounding very aggressive against Simone.

[Monet X Change]

I was talking about Simone Biles, not Simone the drag queen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wow. Simone Biles had some. What is. I don't know. You got off this plane. You are attacking everybody. Me, both.

[Monet X Change]

Simone's.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Raven, Simone. Who else is next on your list of people?

[Monet X Change]

You posted a TikTok recently and the comments on the tik. Okay, the comments on TikTok and specifically the Shade Room on Instagram. They always cracking her. They're always wild for the night. And so Raven posted a TikTok of her doing the. You know, the challenge.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I ain't never been here.

[Monet X Change]

I ain't never been. Whatever, right? And then. Did you read the comments on it, though? People were like, nah, we ain't claiming you. Ever since you said that you not black. Oh, look, here she go. Oh, now she black. Oh, she want to be black now. Like, I see you want to be black for TikTok. People are just dragging this. You remember her infamous Oprah interview?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I remember. It was a very long time ago. Well, I know, But I'm like, 10. 10 years ago, maybe. Maybe.

[Monet X Change]

No, not 10 years ago, bitch. Like, maybe six years ago.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can't. You. Was it six years ago?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, because. Because, yeah, it was, like, about six years ago. Maybe. I'll give you maybe seven.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Raven. Simone.

[Monet X Change]

Excuse me? It's Simone. Yay. And I'm not making it up. She said her name is Simone. Yay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was 2014. It was eight years ago.

[Monet X Change]

So close.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But, yeah, that's. You know, that's an interesting conversation. I. I will say, I think that in my past, I have engaged in a problematic practice, which is telling people they can't. That they're not black if they are black. And that's something that I would certainly not say that. I mean, like, years ago, probably in my early 20s. Oh, he is not black. Because he doesn't blank, blank, blank. Or she is not black. Cause she doesn't blank, blank, blank. And I don't think that, if I'm being realistic, you know, a black card is not something you can revoke. And I think that I would no longer engage in telling people that they're not black. Maybe back in the day, I would have done it.

[Monet X Change]

No, but she was saying. But she wasn't saying about other people. She was saying about herself. She was like, well, if y' all don't know, Oprah was doing this thing, like, where are they now? Like, child stars? Obviously, everyone knows Oprah. Everyone knows Raven from. She was on the Cosby Show. She. She had her own show on Disney. And then she infamously said. She was like. She was like, I don't like to label myself. She was like, I am American. I'm not African American. She was like. And then Oprah was like. Oprah was reacting with something like, child, girl, you gonna set Twitter on fire. And Oprah was, like, gagged. Oprah was befuddled. She couldn't even. She couldn't. She was gagged.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And I think that, you know, O.J. simpson said the same thing. Years ago, O.J. simpson famously said, I'm not black. I'm O.J. that's like a very famous O.J. simpson quote. I'm not black. I'm oj and I think that, you know, Simone. I mean, Raven Simonier. I think. I think she may have been joking when she said her name was Simone.

[Monet X Change]

But I do recall RuPaul's Drag Race, and RuPaul was like, Raven Simone. She was like, oh, my God, finally someone gets it. Finally, someone has pronounced my name right. And I remember everybody was like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think she was joking, because she said her name before that day, and she said, raven Simone. And on the View, they called her Raven Simone.

[Monet X Change]

But you know when. You know when. Like, some. Like, I know people, like, when people just mispronounce their name all the time, they just go by what people say. Cause it was like, it doesn't matter. No matter how many times I say my name is, blah, blah, blah, people are gonna mispronounce my name. And that's a common thing with people with complicated names.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, it's different when you're on the View and the announcer, the official announcer of the show is saying everyone's names. And I think when the official announcer says that they're not. They're Probably. They're probably like, hey, it's actually pronounced this way, but. But also, you know, for years, I heard you say your name was Kevin Burton, and then one day, you just doubled down and insisted that your name was Kevin Berthon, even though the first time I ever heard your name, you said it to me out loud. And you said your name was Kevin Burton. No.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I did that. But again, it's because of years, at this point, decades of people mispronouncing it, including you. No, I see.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That way you told me your name

[Monet X Change]

was Kevin Burton because people mispronounce it all the time. So I just literally just say it the wrong way because it's just people are gonna keep on people. Still, anytime I say my name without writing it down, they always spell it like the skateboards. I mean, like the snowboards. B, U, R, T, O, N. I'm like, bitch. So, honestly, sometimes there are Burton skateboards. Yeah, well, Burton snowboards, like a big snowboard company. So it's my. It's my cousin's company. Anyway, so you are going to gaslight right into 2022.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You are going to Gaslight Gate, Boss and girl keep right into 2022.

[Monet X Change]

So I. So if someone's asking my name, and I know it doesn't. If the spelling doesn't matter, like, if it's not, like, a legal document or, like, whatever, I just let them spell it however they want because I'm like. I don't feel like E, R, T, I, N. I'd be like, yep. U, R, T, O, N. Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm talking about pronunciation, not spelling.

[Monet X Change]

Does. Is there. So, Bob, you've never met someone that has, like, a complicated. A complicated name that people mispronounce often. You've never met this person?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I've never met someone whose name was announced by an official announcer on the View and let people mispronounce it.

[Monet X Change]

I will say that that is such a specific. You would. This is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Now.

[Monet X Change]

This is quintessential Bob. Yeah. Yes, Monique, you're right. I have never met someone who worked for three and a half years at the View and led the announcer. But you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That. Is that.

[Monet X Change]

That sentence, this react, this interaction right now is quintessential Bob the Drag Queen. This is so Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I also think I've never, in all my years of being a viewer of television shows as well. Most people, when they do official shows, like any kind of TV show, they usually get their name pronounced properly because, as you know, working in television, they'll usually go up to the Person and go, I just want to make sure I'm pronouncing your name properly. How do you pronounce your name? And then Lupita will go, nyong'. O. And then they'll go, okay, thank you. And the host will get. Give it up for our special guest, Ms. Lupita Nyong'. O. Which is probably why I was assuming, and I could be right, I do not know for sure. But that's why I'm assuming that Ms. Raven, whatever her last name is, name is actually Simone and that she was doing a bit when she said Simone.

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know what? There's only one way to find out. We both live in la. Let's get on the show and ask her for ourselves. We get on the same rivalry, we can have Raven on the bot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I DM with Raven sometimes, not terribly often, but Ms. Simone and I have had a few back and forths in our. In our. In our day on the Internet.

[Monet X Change]

How was your very. Go ahead.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How's my what?

[Monet X Change]

How was your very Mexican Christmas?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was wonderful. I. I spent some time with Ezra's family at their, like, house that his father not quite grew up in, but like, was born in, I think. And it's like a old family in their house and met all of his aunts and uncles and cousins and it was really wonderful. I had a lot of fun. I mean, you know, I gotta say, a Mexican Christian doesn't. Doesn't feel Christmas. Merry Chrysler. A merry. A Mexican Christmas. Doesn't sound completely unlike. Doesn't feel completely unlike a Christmas in the United States of America. Except the food was different. We did not have a typical meal that we would have in Georgia on Christmas.

[Monet X Change]

Please tell me y' all had chilaquiles. Oh, I could eat chilakiles all day long. Put them in my face, in my mouth, in my stomach, feed them to me all day long.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, it's more of a breakfast food.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, for breakfast.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And we didn't. I mean, we had chilaquiles at the breakfast spot, like at the restaurant around the corner. But for dinner, for Christmas dinner we had.

[Monet X Change]

What's it. Yeah, what's a Mexican Christmas dinner?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think this was a Mexican. I think this was a Christmas dinner in Mexico. I don't think it was terribly Mexican. It was pasta and there was some meat. When you go to Mexico, they just use the word carne a lot, but you don't know what kind of meat it is.

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know, carne. Carne is steak. Like it's like, it's like a beef,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

but it also means meat. But also this, what we were eating wasn't. This was not. It wasn't beef. I think. Think it was like a pork or a chicken.

[Monet X Change]

But chicken is carnitas. I mean, pork is carnitas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Chicken. Yeah, yeah. But they. But they also. They kind of like, use the word carne a lot. They like, they really spread it because it literally just means meat. Yeah. So they'll use it for pork, they'll use it for beef, and they'll just use it for. They'll just use it to mean meat in general.

[Monet X Change]

Soup. You want carne soup?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, if there's.

[Monet X Change]

You want some water, you want a glass of carnet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I think I was eating like a pork chop, some pasta and potatoes. I think that's what we ended up having. And then we did like a big gift exchange, which is where. You ever heard of a white elephant?

[Monet X Change]

Like, no, I have. I don't remember what it means.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So it's where everyone brings a gift and then you put it on the table. Right. And then you go up one by one and grab the gift. Or instead of grabbing gift, you can just steal someone else's gift out of their hands and then they have to steal someone else's gift or go to the table. And you can only steal gifts. Like, only one gift can get stolen twice or something like that. And so we had one of those.

[Monet X Change]

So no one, like, brought each other? Like, no one other. No one got each other, like a proper gift. Like Bob. From Bob to Ezra.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, no, there were no specific gifts. It was kind of just like grab gift. Like, you put the gifts on the table and then everyone just goes up and grabs one, but you don't know what it is. You. You can't. They're all wrapped, so you can't see the gift until you open it.

[Monet X Change]

That sounds fun.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then you. But it also gets kind of cutthroat at the end because people see. Start seeing the gifts and like, I want that. I want that. I don't want this. So one person ends up with a scarf. Someone else has, like, some. Has like a really cool thing. Speakers.

[Monet X Change]

What did. What did you end up with?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ended up with Bluetooth speakers. Ezra ended up with a lamp. Like a touch lamp. You know, kinda like a tap lamp that was shaped like a polar bear.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, that's cute.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And I bought a. And to the white elephant, I bought a French press.

[Monet X Change]

A French press. Like, bitch, like a fucking cotton gin.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A cotton gin.

[Monet X Change]

A French press. I'm thinking of, like, feudalism. I'm thinking, like, how you print, like a paper in the end of Victorian era. And I'm going back to.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, do you think cotton gins make paper?

[Monet X Change]

I'm saying something old, something that sounds like a. It sounds like an old gift from like the fucking Civil War.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What do you think of. Wait, what do you think a cotton gin is?

[Monet X Change]

I know what the cotton gin is. The cotton gin was back, back, back, back, back, back, back.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And again.

[Monet X Change]

Back in the day when they. When they first started, got the fucking wheel. They were using the cotton gin to fucking put coals together.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think they still use cotton gins today, right?

[Monet X Change]

Yes. But the cotton gin, the original thing is that's an old thing I want to say from like the 1600s or whatever it was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think it was from the 1600s. I think I might be wrong, but I think a cotton gin was invented in the 1800s. But anyway, a French press is just a coffee maker.

[Monet X Change]

Cotton gin was developed in 1765.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was right between us. A French press is a coffee maker.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, God. See, I don't drink coffee.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Neither do I. You put coffee in, and then you just press the handle down. And then, you know, it's just like a way to make coffee.

[Monet X Change]

You ever experience people being so gagged that you don't drink coffee? When you tell people you don't drink coffee, they're like. They act like you say that you just assassinated the president. They're like, what? You don't drink coffee?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So it's not that I don't drink coffee. I rarely drink coffee. If Jacob gets coffee, I'll drink coffee. But I usually don't go get my own coffee. I also don't drink coffee to wake up in the morning. I'll just drink it because it's like a tasty drink with a lot of sugar and ice and syrup and stuff in it. But I do not drink coffee to wake up. Jacob drinks coffee to get a little pep in his step.

[Monet X Change]

Listen, I don't want to hear about your fucking boyfriend anymore, okay? I'm kidding. We're going to take a little break, and I want to hear more about Jacob and his coffee.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

God. Oh, God.

[Monet X Change]

I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was

[Bob the Drag Queen]

a thing, I never turned back.

[Monet X Change]

I can create a site with my eyes closed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know,

[Monet X Change]

and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business. But Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like I can't stop.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know. It's all I can look at is my fucking chipped tooth. It just.

[Monet X Change]

You know what? You just. It's like. It's like your mouth is on an angle. You're cheating on an angle.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It looks so bad.

[Monet X Change]

It doesn't look bad. You were just throwing us back to middle school and you was giving us. So Bob tweeted about his tooth and people started commenting, chippy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I turned the comments off. I was like, I'm not gonna give bullied again. I literally was like, I'm turning off the comments.

[Monet X Change]

Someone said, not chippy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I was like, I have never turned the comments off on anything. As long as I've been live on Twitter and on this, I'll be turning the comments off.

[Monet X Change]

And I. Because, you know, as soon as I saw that tweet, that was literally going to be my tweet. I was going to make a chippy

[Bob the Drag Queen]

joke and I was like, that is so mean. That is so mean.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, Bob, sometimes I engage in mean behavior with you, but you know, it's a reciprocal relationship we have. So.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I am learning about telling you about my past trauma.

[Monet X Change]

Do you ask me about my fucking Christmas, bitch? Is everything all about you and your fucking teeth and your fucking boyfriend?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't quite get there yet, but I guess I will ask you now. Tell me about your Colorado Christmas.

[Monet X Change]

I spent Christmas in Evergreen, Colorado. With Andy and his nephew wasn't his whole family because his brother and his girlfriend went away.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was just you, Andy and one person and one.

[Monet X Change]

And his six year old nephew.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not a six year old.

[Monet X Change]

I know a six year old nephew. Because not when they playing house.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not when they playing house for Christmas.

[Monet X Change]

Literally, though. And then not when they raising a

[Bob the Drag Queen]

little white baby for Christmas.

[Monet X Change]

And on the third day of Christmas, I teach you the word nigger.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh my God. They're not going to let you watch

[Monet X Change]

this baby no more. No, he's a really, he's a really smart kid. And I was like, you're like really smart. And I was like teaching him Spanish and we were like watching Encanto.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're like watching you speak Spanish now.

[Monet X Change]

I, I, I mean, I, I, I

[Bob the Drag Queen]

see you, you, wow, okay, I see you. You picked up a little gift. You picked up a little, a little, a little on the first day of charisma, truly gave to me a little omnicron.

[Monet X Change]

I see no bitch. I've been tested, but at this point I've been tested about seven times and I'm still negative.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monet, you've been negative since I met you. But what about now? Tell me about Omicron.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, she got a little joke in her today. Good, good, good, good stuff. No, it was myself, Eddie and his little 16 year old nephew and we spent Christmas together and it was actually, it was in the woods in Colorado.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, let me.

[Monet X Change]

Bob, can I tell you about this white man? Can I tell you about this white man?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who, Andy?

[Monet X Change]

This fucking. Yes, this fucking white man. Okay, so Andy does not believe in locking doors.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, where's he from?

[Monet X Change]

Boston.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But you don't lock doors in Boston.

[Monet X Change]

Hello. So, Bob, we're in the middle of the woods in this like house, this nice house in the middle of the woods, and he does not lock the door.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He doesn't lock the door.

[Monet X Change]

And he was like, he was like, he's like, that's how we grew up in the Waterloo.

[Commercial Narrator]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

And I was like, well, he grew up in a suburb in Boston. I was like, still. Then I was like, bitch, you don't lock your doors while we're in the

[Bob the Drag Queen]

middle of the woods.

[Monet X Change]

We will go out for the whole day, door is unlocked, come back, door is unlocked. Like you just walk in the house, we go to bed, he leaves the door unlocked. I was like, I cannot sleep in this home with the door unlocked. You need to go downstairs and lock the door.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, yeah. That's very strange behavior and also very crazy. No matter where you live, you can still. I don't know if anyone remembers, but the Night Stalker did his business in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

[Monet X Change]

Really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, girl. The Night Stalker would go to people's houses, in nice neighborhoods, bad neighborhoods, every neighborhood, or dangerous, quote, unquote neighborhoods, low crime areas, high crime areas, and do his business and kill people, Girl, lock your doors, girl.

[Monet X Change]

Andy refuses. He doesn't lock doors. I was like, this is insane behavior.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Now I feel like the people who are from Boston listening to this are gonna be like. I would like to point out that is not Boston behavior. That sound like some shit they do in. In the. In. In like Corinth, Mississippi. And I will say I have lived in very small towns, and in small towns, it is common to not lock your doors, but not. But Boston. That sounds wild.

[Monet X Change]

Okay. To be fair, he's okay. He's from the greater Boston area, but he's from, like a suburb of Boston. So he's not like, in. Like, he's not. He's not chilling on Boston Avenue, on. In Boston street. And you know what I'm saying? He's like, in a suburb, which.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I think I grew. I grew up in the suburbs. I just want to point out again, I grew up in the suburbs and bitch, we locked doorst.

[Monet X Change]

Lucia, we locked doors in Brooklyn and St. Lucia. I locked doors and Brooklyn locked doors when I Every, Every. Every home I've ever had, bitch, I triple check, make sure the door is locked. This, this, this white nigga don't lock his doors. And it's very settling.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How much Spanish do you speak like?

[Monet X Change]

I speak in, like when Pixie. Pixie Aventura shouts to Pixie Aventura, drag queen in New York City. Y' all know Bob and I talk about Pixie a lot of. And we go on a lot of vacations together. And when I go on vacation, I know. And we tend to often go to Hispanic speaking countries. Spain, Mexico, et cetera. And every time we go, I can Puerto Rico, I get along. I can communicate and get along by myself without pixie helping me with people only speaking Spanish to me. Again, a lot of that. When someone is a native Spanish speaker speaking to you. Like, I don't understand every word, but I can understand enough in the sentence to understand what they're saying to me and be able to respond with the Spanish that I know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I just had a very Mexican Christmas and not everyone spoke Spanish. Most of them did not. I mean, not everyone spoke English. And.

[Monet X Change]

And how did you get along with that?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I Speak some Spanish. I mean, I took four years of Spanish in. In college and high school, so I do speak some Spanish. And I've continued a tiny amount of education on my own in my adulthood, so I was able to get along a little bit. But his aunts really, really do not speak English or they were choosing not to speak English with English with me. So I would just like, like wide eyes trying my hard to listen for every other word and just being like, yeah, yeah. Um, but everyone's very nice, though. Do you think you have a.

[Monet X Change]

Like a summary for your.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Was 2021 what you thought it was going to be?

[Monet X Change]

2021 was. I don't know what my expectations for 2021 were. Um, but I feel like I did. I. 21. 2021 was a good year. I don't remember what my expectations were to see. To see. To think if the year, like, exceeded my expectations or if it didn't meet them. U. 2021 was a good year for me. I'm very happy with how 2021 is closing out. What about you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was a very vague wrap up. That's like some shit you tell people in passing. That's like some, like, you know, it was. Honestly, it was good and I had fun and everything was great. Bitch. This is fucking sibling arrival. We overshare, bitch. Give us some fucking details about your goddamn thing. I don't remember.

[Monet X Change]

With the past two years of the pandemic, I. It all feels like a big blur. Like, if you told me that quarantine, like the big one, like March 2020 through June 2020. If you told me that was 2021, I'd be like, oh, yeah, I guess that would like. I genuinely.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I feel like maybe you could say stuff like. Maybe you could say stuff like, I moved to Los Angeles. I now have a partner.

[Commercial Narrator]

Oh, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God, I do. We moved to la.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We, we. We. Like, our podcast is like, you know, skyrocketing and taking off. I got into a huge fight with Tamisha Mon this year. Oh, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

You see, I didn't. Bob. Okay, first of all, Bob, you know this about me. You know, I have a very bad memory. I have a very hard time remembering things. It's just. It's just my cross the Baron life. I forget. Shit, I forgot about that ultimatum.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob wants to say, Jacob, you have to wear a mic. They drag us when they can't hear you. Oh, what is it? Oh, and did you. And did you get our wonderful cameo for you?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. So for Christmas, Bob and Jacob Got me a cameo from Tamisha Iman, but they obviously didn't tell her it was for me. She was like, this is a message for Kevin from your friend Roberta. Like I should I post it on my insta. I'll post it to the Patreon. How about that? To the Patreon. We'll see.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, we'll see. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

But I forgot that a fight even happened this year. That sure was 2021 because it was around the time that I had just moved to la. It's so stupid. Okay, so I get. Okay, highlights for this year. I moved to la. Our podcast and our Patreon are still doing great and they're getting better and better. You released the music video besides the end of the year with a little bit of the crunchiness of the podcast video?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, we switched companies and things got a little snack, a doodle. But we're figuring it out.

[Monet X Change]

Uh huh. I put out one of the singles for my upcoming album next year, which was very exciting. Really love that. I found a great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What are your music goals for 2022?

[Monet X Change]

Wait, I'm not finished. Can I get through my shit? I put out the video. I found a great partner, someone that I'm very much in love with

[Bob the Drag Queen]

and

[Monet X Change]

I'm making great friends and doing great stuff in la and I'm really enjoying it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Name some of the friends. Name some friends you've made. Wow, must be great friends.

[Monet X Change]

No, I'm kidding. I was gonna try to do a bit about you, but I do have the energy. Bitch. It is so late, y'. All. I had the craziest white day. My brain is literally jello. Oh no. I've become really good friends with Micha Brambola, Sadie Pines Godoy. Danny Godoy. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And also notice she didn't say Plastique's name.

[Monet X Change]

Oh my God.

[Commercial Narrator]

Rob.

[Monet X Change]

Heartthrob Rob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Love Rob. I notice she didn't say Plastique's name.

[Monet X Change]

It's almost Plastique and I were. Plastique and I been friends. You just became friends with Plastique? She just beat your face. You just became friends with Plastique. Plastique and I've been since we've been homies. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She told me she needs to give you a visit too.

[Monet X Change]

I would love Plexi. You looked beautiful.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You look.

[Monet X Change]

Fuck. You look like. You look a doll. She was one of the girls.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I felt very beautiful. Everyone said, I like peppermint. I got a lot of peppermint comments. You look like a peppermint people. Sounded like Peppermint. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Interesting.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was like, I'll take it. You know what it is? I never wear my hair like that.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, you never. Deal. Now, will you do that more?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no, no.

[Monet X Change]

Why?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, Monet, it just doesn't feel. Well, one. I can't do that. That's not a skill that I have.

[Monet X Change]

Bob, one thing I know about you, when you want to do something, you will learn how to do it, bitch. You learn how to ventilate a wig,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

you learn how to do it. And that's the main part. When I want to.

[Monet X Change]

I don't think.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think I look really beautiful. I don't think I loved enough to be like, I have to learn how to do this with my hair. And also, like, curling a wig on my head feels really exhausting. I think I still like. I still like bigger hair than that. Like, I mean, I like my hair, but, you know, slick back and big or just big in general.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I did feel absolutely beautiful and stunning, and I loved. I loved it. And I'm really, really grateful to. To Plastique for coming over to my. My apartment and helping me with that. It was just so much fun.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, now tell me about what somebody. Some big things happen for you in 2021.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, we filmed. I mean, we filmed and aired all of season two of We're Here, which feels. That is like we got renewed for a third season, which is also incredibly exciting. I kind of can't believe. I mean, to be honest, that was the bulk. The bulk of my year was doing We're Here. I was able to also continue My. My YouTube journey, which did slow down. My YouTube journey has slowed down a little bit in 2021. I think that once we started doing We're Here, it was harder to keep doing the videos and harder to keep pushing them out. But I also learned how to dj. I did. I had two DJ gigs this year. I had. I had one at the Peg holiday party, which you rudely did not come to, although you were invited.

[Monet X Change]

Everyone was looking forward to seeing, you know, where I was. So, you know, where were you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Super secret project. Another secret project.

[Monet X Change]

I was filming. I was on the fucking Christmas store, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Filming what? Filming what?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God, you. I was on the Christmas tour.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That contract about to whoop your ass. Yeah, that contract about to be breached. Yeah, that. Yeah, yeah. NDA. NDA stands for Don't Announce Amy.

[Monet X Change]

I was at the Christmas store. So you did that. What was your other DJ gig? You did?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I did a Spotify gig. I did a. So Trixie got sick. Her appendix like exploded on an airplane or something.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And she had to pull out of this gig last minute. And then they were like, bob, can you DJ tomorrow? And I was like, I don't know how to DJ. I have never DJed. I mean, I think I've like kind of DJed with Mitch a little bit in the basement at the Monster, but I don't know how to dj, Mary. That's not really my gig, but. Oh, my God. But I did. But I.

[Monet X Change]

Can you take anything seriously and talk about your fucking gig, bitch? What is wrong with you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I, so I, I, I, I like taught myself how to DJ with like, with like DJ software. Like in. I had 24 hours of a crash course in DJ software to like learn how to fucking DJ. And then Mitch also shout out to Mitch Farina, who also gave me some tips and tricks as well. He gave me a virtual session as well. And then I got there and it was actually a really fun gig. And who all was there? That lady who I can never remember. Kali Uchi's Cali Uchi, which.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. So Bob has a TikTok where he's talking about this DJ vet and naming the people. Bobby talking. Bobby acting like he's someone's old ass Uncle Bob is like, there was a very nice young lady. He was like, this lady, she's a very nice young lady.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She was really talking about Kali Luchi. Well, I did not realize that Kali Lucci was a big deal. I honestly did not know because I was going back to. Hello, I was headed back to. I was headed back to the fucking VIP section. I was like, ma', am, can you. But then I realized that this lady had security. And I was like, oh, she must be like someone, okay. And they were like, girl, that's Kali. And I was like, oh, all right, honey. And Lizzo also showed up to that

[Monet X Change]

party as you, Baby Yoda.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it was a party thrown by Spotify. Benny Drama.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I love Benny Drama. Oh, it was his party.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was. No, it was his party. It was absolutely his part. Him, him and his podcast partner, whose name I cannot remember right now. They, it was, it was their Halloween party.

[Monet X Change]

That was, that was sponsored by, Sponsored by Spotify.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, it was Spotify. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Benny Drama's content is so funny and it's so good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And his mother in law is really. She deserves the Emmy.

[Monet X Change]

She's really good. She's really good. You know, this past summer, after Kim and I were gonna do. We've literally been planning on taking DJ classes together forever. Because, bitch, I got an offer for a gig for me to dj. And I was like, this is insane. Dj. I could have been in drag or not. And I told my manager, I was like, I don't know how to dj. And I guess I could have taken the initiative to learn, but I was like, I really wanna, like. If I dj, I really wanna, like, do it. And, like, be, like, fucking mixing shit. And like, I love I have great choice in music. Anytime I do a party, I always am the dj. Cause I have great taste in music, and I like to take people on, like, a musical journey with my dj.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What did you just say?

[Monet X Change]

Anytime I do a party, I always. I always host, like. I'm sorry. I always. I always dj. I'm always running the music.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You mean at your own party or at other people's parties?

[Monet X Change]

Other people's parties. My own parties. Other people's parties. I always end up running to music anytime interesting.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can see, it's just that I've been to parties with you. Go ahead.

[Monet X Change]

Well, not the parties that you've been invited to, bitch. Anyway, it's always when.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's always not the ones I. It's always, ask Kim.

[Monet X Change]

Ask Naomi.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ask him. Naomi.

[Monet X Change]

I will call Naomi. Right. Well, what time is it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, you were always like, well, no, not that one.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, so Kim and I were like. We're like. We're like, we need to, like, take a DJ class together. Cause we were willing to, like, start DJing because we both love music anyway, so. Okay, so we're here. You DJ'ed and what else?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And to be honest, I feel like, oh, I bought a home. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

But I was literally about to say, bitch, you bought a house.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's not a house. It is a home. It's a condo.

[Monet X Change]

Okay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm just trying to make sure that people know that I'm like, that. I'm not trying to falsify my information.

[Monet X Change]

We gonna take a break? Cause I don't have time for this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't have time to do your job?

[Monet X Change]

Let's take a break, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And we're black. You know, I think that when I'm growing up in. I think it might be because you grew up in New York City and everyone. Most people don't have houses. I know you and your extremely wealthy family grew up in a house in Brooklyn. I'm aware. Before you cut me off and flaunt your. Your wealth in my face.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, you look at the top 1% bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But because I grew up in Georgia, and people, like, people did not. There was a big difference in, like, saying house and apartment when you grew up in Georgia.

[Monet X Change]

For sure.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I feel that so and so's house. And be like, so and so has a house. And then you go in this be an apartment. Like, this is not a house, Mary. So I just want everyone. So maybe that's my Georgia still kicking up me. But I live in. I own a condo. And also, I had a sign on my daughter today. It's like, bitch, your HOA fees are late and due. But it's because this plot twist. I cannot remember the password to my hoa.

[Commercial Narrator]

You.

[Monet X Change]

No, that doesn't sound like you at all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I always try to go log in. They're like, bitch, you're three months late on your HOA fees. So I might be getting kicked out of this house.

[Monet X Change]

This is the condo Bob had to get. I forgot what we were doing. You're trying to log on to something. It was to your Apple back when you were. And it was your email that you always used. Maybe bleep that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God.

[Monet X Change]

I just said one word.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Believe that.

[Monet X Change]

Believe that what I said to do. But you could not remember the password. And when I tell you, you were.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You heard the what?

[Monet X Change]

To your aol? No, to your. To your Apple.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, baby, listen. It's a rare.

[Monet X Change]

When I tell y', all, Bob was having a mental breakdown because he could not remember this fucking well.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Apple. Okay, here's the thing about Apple. Apple is always. First of all, it is easier to break into the fucking Pentagon than it is to get to recover your Apple account. Let that be on fact. I literally got to a point where I did not even use my Apple. I remember for. I mean. And I mean, for years. It was not until years. And I would use my computer, but I wouldn't use itunes. I wouldn't use anything that had to do with my Apple ID for literally years. And it was not until I got an Apple TV that I was like, I had. Because you can't sign into your Apple TV unless you have an Apple id. So I literally had to recover my account. It took me, like, five days. It was so insane. And Apple's also like, you have to have a letter, a number, a symbol, a name, a dog, a cat, you know, a celebrity, something old, something new, something new, something hard, something blue. And then I'm like, bitch, I don't even remember the fucking password no more. Oh, my God. Wait. Oh, my God.

[Monet X Change]

So this is one of The Anagami. I have to say this, Bob. Anyway, okay, so we did like. We did like we did the 12 Days of Christmas. And he got me a gift every day for the 11th day your true

[Bob the Drag Queen]

love gave to you.

[Monet X Change]

Well, until. Until 11, he was saying on the. Whatever day my true. Like, it gave to me because we never said the L word to each other anyway.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What? I can't. I can't. What are y'? All. Those Are you. I did not know you were the one of those. I did not know. I didn't know you were one of those.

[Monet X Change]

I'm.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bitch, I'm judging. Down.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, God. Can I put a nice story?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, I didn't know you were one of the folks who was like, we've never. Like, we never said it. It's not that. First of all, you leave. You're like, baby, the first day you

[Monet X Change]

met Jacob, you're like, I love you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm like, that's not me.

[Monet X Change]

If that works, bitch, if that works for you, that works for you. That's your business.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You and Andy left. You were like, I like you.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, it was a funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, wait. So Andy leaves your house. What did he say? Bye.

[Monet X Change]

Like, bye, babe. See you. See you tomorrow. See you later.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I. I like you, bitch.

[Monet X Change]

Just because you and Jake are the first. Are like, I love you when it means literally nothing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anyway, like I was saying, Monet, I seen you say I love you to people in the meet and greets in our line that you have never met. No, you have. You have.

[Monet X Change]

You said I love you to a person at a meet and greet in line.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're seeing such a liar. You say it, not me.

[Monet X Change]

I am not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All right, well, all right, we'll see.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, so then. So then on the 11th, they gave me. He was like. He was like, hey. He got me a trip to Portland for three days. And I was like, oh, this is dope. He's like, Cause, you know, obviously, you know, I love Portland. Portland's my place. I was like, we're gonna do Portland for three days. And he's like, oh, I know you like Portland. We'll find stuff to do. I was like, dope. So then on the 12th day, he gave me. It was like, a card, and it was. It was two tickets to see Chelsea Handler. You know, I am obsessed with Chelsea Handler.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, rewind. Back in October, Mateo was performing with Chelsea Handler. He got me tickets to go see Chelsea Handler, but I missed my flight. I couldn't go. We talked about on the podcast, this

[Bob the Drag Queen]

is when you're all shaded free.

[Monet X Change]

And I was very upset because I love fucking Chelsea Handler.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I couldn't wait. You what Chelsea Handler?

[Monet X Change]

I fucking love Chelsea Handler.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You fucking what?

[Monet X Change]

I love Chelsea Handler.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You told Chelsea before you told it?

[Monet X Change]

Yes, I love Chelsea Handler. So then on. So that on Chelsea.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I like your show, bitch.

[Monet X Change]

Just because you are telling your boyfriends on the first day that you love them as some type of weird I love you to trick them into being with you, that's your business.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I fucking like Chelsea Handler.

[Monet X Change]

And then so he gave me two tickets to see Chelsea Handler and the VIP meet and greet experience. I was like, oh, my God, this is great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I invited you to the Fast and Furious movie premiere at the. At the Paris.

[Monet X Change]

And I was working. I couldn't go because I was busy. And Chelsea Handler was, to quote Priyanka,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

bitch, I'm busy and Chelsea Handler was there.

[Monet X Change]

I know. I was very upset. I love Chelsea Handler, girl. She's my queen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then Mateo invited you.

[Monet X Change]

I know. I've missed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think. Bitch, I don't think you do like Chelsea Handler. Someone invites you, you find a way not to make it.

[Monet X Change]

I've missed seeing Chelsea many times. It's very upsetting.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But now, bitch, you might be busy this day too.

[Monet X Change]

I'll be right in her face like, what up, bitch?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You would not. Please don't call her that.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, she would love that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't know that. You do not know this lady.

[Monet X Change]

You clearly don't watch her stuff.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You got me. I do.

[Monet X Change]

So you definitely don't know her. Bitch, I know her more than you do.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That you know, I'm not even gonna argue at any point. I do not know anything about. Oh, I also bought a car. Bought and wrecked a car this year. So I am really batting a thousand going into 2022. Did you now? I heard that Apple is now releasing a wrap up like Spotify.

[Monet X Change]

I almost like Spotify's but it's their little thing. My number one played. It doesn't tell you like Spotify. Oh, yeah, it does. My number one played song this year, 113 plays was Good Days. That cannot be. It has to be more than that. I listen to that song literally on like loops for like hours. Good Days by guess who the artist is. Cause you don't know the song. I know you don't know the song.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Scissors.

[Monet X Change]

Scissors. Yep. Good day by Scissors. All of them. My number one artist. That's surprising. My number one artist is Yeba. 34 hours.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wow.

[Monet X Change]

I do love Yeba. Yeba's album came out this year and it was really great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Followed by Kyle. I love Yebba songs. I Know My mind. And I know that she has a. A duet with Sam Smith on. On Out Samson's album, the Loan. What's the name of the album? And I love the Samsung album. It's called the Lonely Hour, I think. No, it's the newer one. In the Thrill of It All. In the Thrill of It All, Yeah. But it has a song with Sam Smith.

[Monet X Change]

And then Kylie Minogue was my. Which I discovered Kylie Minogue's daily album. And I know I'm late, y', all, and I talked about it when I know I'm late to the disco party. But Kylie Minogue's disco album is. It came out 2020. It was like a big album in 2020, but I missed the boat on that. It is such a good fucking album from top to bottom. Great music, like, good feel good dancing music. I listened to that. I listened to Kylie with 23 hours, and she was my number two album. I listened to all the way through 251 times. I listened to the album work.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My number one artist of the year was Hennessy Carolina's sister.

[Monet X Change]

I don't know who the fuck that is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hennessy Carolina, her sister was my number one artist of the year. Who do you think it is?

[Monet X Change]

Hennessy. Henny. Oh, Cardi.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. Bel Khalis Al Masar was my number one artist of the year. And my number one song of the year was up by Bel Khalis Bel Kalis. And my number two artist was Ocean Kelly. My number three artist was Adele. Number four was Todrick hall. And number five was Megan Thee Stallion.

[Monet X Change]

Those are your artists you listen to.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Those are my top artists. Yeah. And my number one song was Up Cardi B. I think number two was like Le Calay 47 washing set, I think. And I mean, my phone's in the living room, but I could.

[Monet X Change]

Jasmine Sullivan was my number three artist, y'.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All.

[Monet X Change]

Number four hotels. But Jasmine album was a great fucking album. Ooh, it's so good. My number three album was back in my mind by her. But I'm like. And I love her, but this album.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, drag her.

[Monet X Change]

But this album was not as good as her ep. Y' all know her ep, The EP that has focus and everything on it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, then why didn't you listen to it more if it was so good?

[Monet X Change]

Well. Cause that EP came out, like, so long ago. I've been to listen to it. That's probably my 2020. My 2019 Apple wrap up. Whatever.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also, Grindr decided to release. So my. My number one. Oh, yeah. Up by Cardi B was number one. Body by Megan Thee Stallion was number two. Washington set Le Calais 47 was three. Boss bitch Doja Cat was number four. And the way I Am Ingrid Michaelson was my number five.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But to be fair, that's just. That's my alarm in the morning. Every morning that song plays to wake me up. So that's probably why it's my. I love the way you say good morning. That's how I wake up every morning. It's a very soothing song. Soothing song to wake up to. Yeah, I might. Yeah. It used to be a joelipus remix of one of my songs. And it would go, Bob the Drag Queen Bob. Actually, you know what? I will get the audio to you all and we can insert it right here. This is the song. This used to be my alarm. Waking up every single day. This sound.

[Monet X Change]

Bob the Drag Queen. Bob the Drag Queen. Bob the Drag Queen. Bob the Drag Queen. Bob the Drag Queen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ladies and gentlemen, Bob the Drag Queen is here. Knock, knock. It's me.

[Monet X Change]

Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of divas. Our very own queen has a special announcement she would like to make.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Purse first. Parse first. Walk to the room. Purse first. Grab your purse. Sit back and get ready for the main event. Bob the Drag Queen is now here. Ah, But those. Those are my. Those are my artists. And that was. That was the music that I listened to. I was kind of sad that what. What's her name did not make it back on my list this year as my cupcake did not make it back on my. But I. I kind of stopped after discounts. I. I didn't really listen to much of her stuff. She really.

[Monet X Change]

Lick, lick, lick, lick. I want to lick your dick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. I kind of stopped listening to some of her stuff after because. After.

[Monet X Change]

Because she got clean.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did she do, like. Did she start. What do you mean? Did she do, like, clean music?

[Monet X Change]

Now, you don't want to tell me that she doesn't wrap around about, like, sucking up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no, no, no, no. So when she did Discount, she stopped rapping about. It's not about getting clean, like, discounts. And Gorilla was the song that I really love that. That were. I think my number one song of 2020 was Discounts. Oh, it might have been Gorilla anyway, but it's not about dirty. It's not dirty stuff anymore. She was right. It was like, she's doing, like, more hardcore, like, like, mean rap than, like, slut rap, which I still, which I enjoy. But I, I also don't know what she did in the last year because I have not just, I've. I've fallen off the cupcake train. But she is going to be. She is slated to host the new season of Slag Wars.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, there's a new season slide what's coming on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So there's a new season what's coming out in Cupcake and Tiffany Pollard are

[Monet X Change]

going to be the host because I love Tiffany Pollard. I don't love Tiffany Pollard because the

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cock Destroyers broke up.

[Monet X Change]

Right. So the two of them. So Cupcake and Tiffany are doing it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cupcake and Tiffany Pollard will be doing it together. But isn't it wild that they like.

[Monet X Change]

But they've been done. Broke up like 21.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know, but it was, it was just, I just cannot believe that they. I'm trying to think of like the like, I mean this is just also. It can't occur to me be reason. I was like, I saw a video

[Monet X Change]

of Donald Trump talking to Candace Owens.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. He was like, go get the vaccine. Like everyone should get vaccinated. And then Candace Owens wild ass got on the Internet and was like, actually Donald Trump's just really old and he is like older people are very gullible and they just trust doctors and he's not doing his own research. That's why he said that. And I was like, you think he's old and gullible but you think he should be the president. Okay, go off sis. Pop off. Pop off. Pussy hat. But I was thinking to myself, I have not heard Donald Trump's voice in so long. It was crazy. And I forgot like having Joe Biden as the president made me forget that you're not supposed to hear from the President as much as we heard from Donald Trump.

[Monet X Change]

Right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like I, I fully forgot that the President was not, it wasn't normal that the President was news literally every single day for four years.

[Monet X Change]

Which some people argue is kind of the problem with the Biden administration is that they are doing many good things, but we don't know it. Cuz Donald Trump was very vocal about everything that he did and he made it like a big to do. When he did a new executive order, when he did something wild or crazy, he was very public and very open about it and very vocal. And the Biden administration is not in the same. So there are some great things that they have done, but we don't hear about it. So people are upset. I mean, student loan debt is not a thing that they have done. But other things that he has done that we don't know about that we should.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But something that really kind of gagged me is that someone was like, joe Biden did something. He wonder what they were like, how do you explain this? How do you justify this? And I said, I think that there may be a misconception that me voting for Joe Biden was that my job is to now justify everything he does. When in turn, what actually, if Joe Biden does say I don't like, I will call it out. I will not try to. I will not try to find a loophole to justify that behavior. Do you see Kamala Harris fighting with Charlamagne? Charlamagne will fight with anyone. Charlamagne. I cannot. First of all, I cannot believe that she went on. That she went on Charlamagne's show.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I mean, politicians go on the Breakfast Club. Hillary was on the Breakfast Club.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know. Hot sauce. Hot sauce in my bag.

[Monet X Change]

I remember. Right? Yeah. I mean, I don't think that's weird to go, because again, that show, that's showing that they're willing to talk to everyone and really, you know, talk to the American. To the American people. I don't think that's weird. She's on the show. I mean, I will say it was very strange to see her have such a big reaction and be like, so come on, Charlamagne. No, you know, that's not how things go. Like, she. She became very Auntie Kamala.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I mean, Charlemagne was being like, is Joe Biden really the president?

[Monet X Change]

Is the president Joe Biden or Joe Manchin? Come on, Charlamagne.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also, who's Joe Manchin? Am I out of the loop?

[Monet X Change]

Joe Manchin. Correct me if I'm wrong, he's the Senate minority leader currently.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Girl. Joe, Man. Oh, Joe. Yeah. The member of the. Okay. Joe Manchin. Member of the. He's a senator. Okay.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. Girl. I. I gotta be honest. I. I do think that, honestly, the four years before Joe Biden was. That was the president. I think I got. I think I got, like, politicked out.

[Monet X Change]

I think I was like, majority leader. Because if he's. If he's Democrat, he'll be the senator, because the Democrats no.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are.

[Monet X Change]

We're equal right now. Are 50. 50. So he's something. He's some type of Senate head figurehead.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think that you can be 50. 50 in this. In the.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Because Kamala is the deciding vote. Kamala is. The thing is, this is a tiebreaker.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. But I was I think that I got politics, like, like burnt out on politics from the past four years. That this year I was like, I'm just gonna step away for it. Like, which with the exception of, like, when it comes time to vote, I just look who's there, I research their politics and I vote for them. But other than that, I was like, I cannot follow politics the way that I was following it obsessively for four years. I was like, I don't have the mental capacity for it in 2021. Maybe I'll get back into it in 2022.

[Monet X Change]

So what are you looking forward to in 2022 besides being more politically illiterate?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm really looking. I'm really have my fingers crossed for your consideration. Anyone listening for your consideration, please consider. But we're here for another Emmy nomination. I really, really, really would like to get an Emmy nomination this year. That would really just mean the world to me to be Emmy nominated television producer.

[Monet X Change]

Emmy nominated television show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're here, like, to be an Emmy nominated television producer would be like a dream for me. And that is honestly probably what I'm looking forward to the most. And also getting back out there and filming a brand new season of We're Here and like, you know, you know who had a fucking great year? I think the winner of 2021 was probably Nicole Byer.

[Monet X Change]

Nicole Byer be doing things, girl. She's on a TV show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A TV show. I'm sorry, a TV show. Three TV shows.

[Monet X Change]

She's on a sitcom. She. She hosts Wipeout. She put out her. She put out her. Her hour special on Netflix. Nicole Byer is doing the thing. Good for her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Good for Nicole. She's the host of Nailed it. She is the host. She's one of the hosts of Wipeout. She has a new television show, what is called. I can't remember the name of it.

[Monet X Change]

The Grand Crew or the Grand Troupe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Help us out, Jacob. And then of course, there's also Big beautiful weirdo, her special. And I was like this, like, Nicole Byer is having a. And she also hosted the Emmys. And she hosted some other show too. Grand Crew.

[Monet X Change]

Grand Crew. That's what it is. Grand Crew.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And she hosted some other show as well.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Nicole Byer is definitely doing it and doing it and doing it. Well, what was the other show?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What was the other show she hosted?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know what, I don't know if she hosted the Creative Arts Emmys. I don't know what else.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She hosted the Critics Choice Awards. Oh, work her And Taye Diggs hosted the Critic Choice Awards together. Work like Nicole. And also every look is just turning the purple one.

[Monet X Change]

I think for the Emmys, when she was in that hotel room when Marco

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monroe styled her, I think Marco Monroe is her official style. I think he styled her for everything.

[Monet X Change]

Like, she looks great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my. Like every. Oh, my God. Like, look at her in cultured magazine. Like, what?

[Monet X Change]

Girl, you're blurry as Android. I can't see that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm looking at myself. Like, this is crazy. Like, she looks so good all the time, constantly. No, she's not. I guess that she had a different style because this is styled by. By someone named Gail Paul. But Jake, I'm just gonna send you this picture so that we can put it on the screen so you can see which one I'm talking about. But like, oh, my God, Nicole Byers just having a fucking knockout year.

[Monet X Change]

This picture for her is so gorgeous of her in this beautiful dress.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who are you going to give. Who are you going to say won 2021?

[Monet X Change]

Um, who won 2021? Honestly, just. Because obviously drag is so much a part of my life, and it is my life. I think Symone. Symone, obviously she won the show this year. But the things that Symone has done after her win, that bitches have been in this game for years trying to get to drag me. I'm like, good. Like, going, like, being at the Emmys. She was in Madonna's movie and she hosted a party for it. A lot of what else? She did something else.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She was on the late night show.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my gosh. On the late night show of the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She was in the i100.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Like, Simone is at a fantastic.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She also went to the Met gala.

[Monet X Change]

The Met gala.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She also.

[Monet X Change]

Fenty.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes, Fenty. She was featured in Fashion Week as well. She's also in a new movie with Billy Eichner.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah, they filmed that. Which also TS Madison is in it. So she's had such a great year, and it's good for her and working really hard and doing all this shit that bitches are trying to do. And I'm like, bitch, work, work. And just looking so good and pulling out some great looks and still doing photo shoots and just looking fucking glam.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Good for her. She really is just doing a, like, a knockout job. And when I think about the biggest events of 2021, I don't think I like saying 2021. I don't like the way it sounds in my mouth. I feel like Honestly, that was one of the most where I kind of wanted to go back to 2021, if that makes any sense. It says in 2021, 2000.

[Monet X Change]

That's too much worse to say. 2021.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is. It is one. It's one. It's one extra syllable.

[Monet X Change]

But that one extra syllable is a lot. You're like, I'm not seeing all that

[Bob the Drag Queen]

2021, but 2021, you know, maybe I'm trying to get. Wrap my head around it. 2021, 2021. I also really enjoyed Bernie Sanders. The Bernie Sanders meme from this year was a great 2021 moment. Bernie Sanders sitting, sitting in the. At the inauguration. That was a absolutely just stunning moment. And for me, I got a lot of laugh out of that.

[Monet X Change]

Bernard. Love Bernard.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And of course, we can't forget about Prince Harry and Meghan the Markle going on Oprah's show and having a full takedown on the royal family.

[Monet X Change]

It was great. That interview was really good. Also, Adele put out an album this year.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God. Britney got free this year, bitch. Also, Britney is. Britney is wild on social media right now.

[Monet X Change]

She's living her life, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She is living her life. I'm like, Britney, this is. Have you seen all the stuff she's doing? Like going, fuck, shit balls. Fuck, fuck balls.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Shit balls, balls. And then of course, her singing video, which went viral.

[Monet X Change]

Everything Britney does goes viral.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's Britney Spears. I mean, she is truly a. A pop culture phenomenon.

[Monet X Change]

Like, City came back this year to work.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, I really wish I could contribute to the Sex and City conversation and I will, I will do my best, but I've just. I've only ever seen literally one episode my entire life and I have not seen any of the new ones. But who am I for Sex and City?

[Monet X Change]

You're definitely Miranda. For sure. You're Miranda.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're. Why am I Miranda? I don't know what that means.

[Monet X Change]

Miranda is very straight laced. Miranda is. Takes herself too seriously. Miranda is the lesbian. Well, Miranda is in the show. She's. Well, I don't want to spoil it for anyone. You know what?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't give it to a dealer. Give them a spoiler alert.

[Monet X Change]

Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler. Miranda is now exploring her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Her, her, her.

[Monet X Change]

Her queerness in this season. And you're just a Miranda.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, she was. She. She's a lawyer.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is Rihanna dating asap. Rocky girl?

[Monet X Change]

Ben Dunny. She.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are they still dating girls?

[Monet X Change]

Sit your old ass down, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They've been together and they're still together.

[Monet X Change]

And they're still together?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. God, why are you making fun of me? Cause I don't follow every move round it makes in her life.

[Monet X Change]

It's not every, bitch. They've been together for a long time. You don't follow anything in pop culture.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I do follow pop culture stuff. I guess I'm just more into, like, small time, queer pop culture than, like, mainstream media.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, okay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Tell yourself that maybe that's what it is. Do you think that could be it?

[Monet X Change]

Wait, is Rihanna dating asap? Rocky. What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's just that, you know, in my Spotify top five, three of them were, like, small time queer artists. And, like, all of yours are just like, the big names. You're more. You're more into, like. How do I say it? Like, mainstream stuff.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, also, Squid Game came out this year. Which Squid Game was wild.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You watched Squid Game?

[Monet X Change]

Of course I watched Squid Game, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, honestly. Okay, what was your favorite TV show of the year?

[Monet X Change]

Favorite TV show this year? I gotta look at my Netflix.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A show that I was excited for and I was watching and I was like, it's fine.

[Monet X Change]

What, bitch? What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Drag Race UK season three.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, God, they gonna get you, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was watching. I was like, you know, it's fine. I'm gonna finish it. I'm gonna finish it. But it did not give the ooh la la sensation that season two had gave. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, Survivor. The new season of Survivor came out this year. Well, this comes out every year, twice a year. But Survivor was. This season was good. It was good. Lots of new little twists. Who won? I did not expect who won to win. I was really rooting for. Spoiler alert, Spoiler alert, Spoiler alert. I was really wanting Shan to win. I was really, really going for it. Shan didn't win.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, who won?

[Monet X Change]

Now I hate Ricard because he says Shay Juan.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ricardo won.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Ricard won.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I know. It's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ricard beat Shan.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's crazy.

[Monet X Change]

Crazy, right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why you making fun of me? Did Ricardo really win?

[Monet X Change]

No, Ricard did not win.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh. Who won?

[Monet X Change]

Erica.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, wait. Was this.

[Monet X Change]

I know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Was this the show? No, Big.

[Monet X Change]

Which was the show Big Brother with all the black people.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The first time ever, they.

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know, Survivor. Cause is on the CBS, they had the same commitment to have at least 50% of the cast be POCs. So in Survivor, this is why I'm so mad. Cause when they were getting down, it was like five black people. They're like, we're gonna rally together and be together to the end so that we have a top five that's all black people. And one of the black dudes, Dashaun, defected and ended up getting Shant sent home. I was like. But he did this whole thing. He was like, you know, survivor's a really tough game, and I'm really trying to play like a game. Cause I want to win, but I struggle with. Cause I'm also trying to keep a bad about it for the culture. He was like, I want to protect the culture and have black people. He's like, but I want to win this money. So he was like. He was in this, like, crazy conundrum, and he ended up betraying the black folk and getting Sham sent home.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, I'm acting like. I know. I'm just making noises, bitch. I don't. Fuck it. I'm like, mm. Oh, my goodness. So wait, did a black person win?

[Monet X Change]

No, she was. She is Asian, though. An Asian woman won.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who is the musical artist of 2021? Who is like, the. Who is the one who really said, I know who. I know who it is in my mind, even though they're not. They weren't in my top list. But I could think of one artist who just really came at 2021 with, like, everything they had.

[Monet X Change]

Megan Thee. Stallion.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. Lil Nas X. Lil Nas X.

[Monet X Change]

Good job.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Lil Nas x's impact on 2021 was in.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I would agree.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I could. It was.

[Monet X Change]

He's so good at social media, and he's trolls really well on Twitter and shit. He's great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He is brilliant at social media. It is really, really wild. And I mean, I don't think any of it. Like, it's really interesting, though, because, like, none of his live performances go crazy. They don't go viral, I don't think, because he's not, like, a particularly strong dancer or anything like that. But usually they'll go viral when, like, his clothes fall off. Which. Which an snl. His pants ripped open. Yeah. And then the video of him wearing the skirt. But the skirt fell off. The skirt opened up, so he's trying to hold it on and he's backing up.

[Monet X Change]

The skirt fell what off?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I lived in New York City for 12 years. The skirt fell off.

[Monet X Change]

You say off. I was like, bitch. What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The skirt fell off, honey. But his skirt fell off. It's like a pink skirt and he's, like, backing up and he trips over like a dancer or a court or something. Yeah. So it is interesting to see, like, just. I mean, he's so young. It is crazy.

[Monet X Change]

I know he's a young guy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think because of how young he is and how he will. Part of me is like, is it important to know the struggle or do we just glorify it for no reason?

[Monet X Change]

To know the struggle of what?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Being an artist. Like, being a struggling artist.

[Monet X Change]

Like, say that again. Is it important to know the struggle of an artist?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You mean of being a struggling artist? Know the struggle of being a struggling artist.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, that's a tale of as old as time going back to fucking La Boheme and when. When. When fucking Puccini wrote it in 17. Whatever. Like, everyone knows what it would. I mean, unless you. I feel like unless you are an artist, you don't really know what it is to be a struggling artist. To love your art so much that you're willing to be broke as hell and not have anything just to. To do your art. I think that's only something that an artist knows.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I think everyone not. But not all artists know it. Some artists will never know that. But I'm also. Why do we glorify. We really glorify that broke artist shit? I don't know why I do not. And.

[Monet X Change]

But I don't think it's glorify who's. Who's glorifying it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think when I say glorify the. Like, we're like, the people who don't ever have the struggle were like. But they didn't have the. They didn't. They don't know what the struggle is. And. And I will say that as someone who had the struggle, I probably would have rather have not had it when I was having it. That would have been nice.

[Monet X Change]

But it's almost like a rite of passage because so many people who are artists, the majority of people who are artists are struggling artists and will never, ever reach the other side of their art being celebrated how they want it to be or how they envision it to be. And it's like only other artists can connect on that level of knowing that passion, that deep design, that deep passion to love your thing so much that you don't care that you don't. That you're not a millionaire or you don't or you're not, or, you know, you're living paycheck to paycheck because you love that shit so much. And I think that's something that all artists can identify with. And it's like, regardless, if I don't understand what this painting means to you, regardless, I don't understand These lyrics of the song, regardless if I don't know how to play that sonata, right. We can connect on that wavelength of loving that art, whatever it is so much. Are you willing to do whatever you can to do it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I think that there is a. I mean, we don't actually. Maybe I'm being a little dramatic. We don't, we really don't require it from artists, but whenever someone does have it, it seems to be a really like important part of their story. Like Lizzo going from sleeping in her car to 10 years later being on the COVID of Time magazine and the entertainer of the year and being the most Grammy nominated artist in 2019 or 2020. And then I think about, you know, my. One of my. Probably not one of my actual. My favorite song of Cardi B, which is get up 10, is a wonderful struggling artist, rags to riches song. My favorite line of the song is I waited my whole life just to on climb to the top floor so I can spit on. And it's just such a great. I mean, it's a little spiteful, but I do love, But I do love the notion of her. Like, I feel like I can see the idea of like this, this. This stripper who is like from the Bronx, like just doing everything in her power to make it and then she fucking makes it and she's like the toast of the world. Like, I mean, I remember when Boydak Yellow came out breaking records, I was like, this is crazy. You know what I mean? And now she's fucking Cardi B. Cardi. Cardi should be Hennessy's sister.

[Monet X Change]

Hennessy sister. I was gonna repeat everything you say. Cardi B. Cardi B. Oh, wait, you

[Bob the Drag Queen]

sound like one of the. You sound like one of those folks, like the person on a radio show, like Robin Quivers on Howard Stern or who's the lady on Breakfast Club. The one that's always like, really nice when everyone else is really mean.

[Monet X Change]

Angela Yee, who just like repeats. She just repeats.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Except when she's like, no, I like it. Or don't be, don't bully. Don't be mean.

[Monet X Change]

Don't be mean. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I've always said. I really do. Part of me is like, we will wrap it up soon. I really appreciate what they do on the Breakfast Club, but part of me is also like, this shit is so fucking mean. Like, I appreciate the culture of the Breakfast Club and like how it brings in like these just. I don't know, I just like what it is. I think maybe because like black people. I just love It. But then I'm also like, this shit is mean. Like, watching the way they did little mama in the interview when she was crying, I was like, y' all niggas is mean as fuck.

[Monet X Change]

They were mean. I mean, but that's. But that's how. Kind of how they got their. Their claim is doing that. So it worked for them. It made them popular. So why would they change it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you see what they tried to do to Azealia Banks? Like, also something about the way.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, Azealia Banks. Azealia Banks did not play. Azalea Banks is kooky and all her things that. That woman is so smart, and she's so good with her words, and she's so eloquent in how she talks.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bitch.

[Monet X Change]

They couldn't clown her. Cause she came right back at them every time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, what happened? One of the main ones, when he goes, charlie made me. Like, I heard that you made me do for gay people. And she was like, I do. What about it? They're like, I just heard you do. And she's like, yeah, I do.

[Monet X Change]

Like, that's such a great response. It's like, cause, nigga, now. Cause now you look like some. Like a child. I'm like, yeah, I make music for queer people. Listen to my music. And. Oh, well, I heard that you do that, though. Yeah, I do.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But it's also the way Charlamagne says, dumb shit. How'd you make music with gay people? Charlamagne? Shut the fuck up. Unless you come on our show, then shut the fuck up. On the show. And there was something. Oh. Ow. What's the matter? What happened? The cat? Yep. The cat. Let me guess. The cat. It was the cat, right? Yep, it was the cat. What was it?

[Monet X Change]

I stabbed myself with my. With my tweezer.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, let me see. Show me the tweezers. Where's Colleen?

[Monet X Change]

She is at the cat sitter's house.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bitch, you lying. Colleen just fucked you up.

[Monet X Change]

Why are you always lying,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monae? You're in an abusive relationship with your cat.

[Monet X Change]

Colleen's not here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Before we go, do you have any? Do you want to make a resolution for 2022?

[Monet X Change]

No, I said it last, and I'm gonna say it again. I don't believe in resolutions because half the time, people really stick to them. And it's really my thing. I just kind of envision what I wanna do. And sometimes I succeed as soon as I fail. Most times I fail miserably. So whatever's gonna happen, gonna happen. I ain't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What? Do I have any do you have any musical aspirations for what can we look forward to? I heard that. I heard you say a. A single from my upcoming EP also, why album. Okay. All right. You need to.

[Monet X Change]

LP is. EP is like six or less. LP is more than six.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God. Okay. You're a LMNOP. Your QVC, your ABCs.

[Monet X Change]

Remember that Queen in New York City elemental P? What happened to her? I haven't seen her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She moved to P town, I'm believe.

[Monet X Change]

So that's it. So when you move to Piton, you just. You die.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't work. You don't live in New York City anymore.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but. Okay, okay. Yeah, I don't live in New York City anymore either.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Shock you.

[Monet X Change]

I keep up with people who are not living in New York City and I live in Los Angeles.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know what you think happens may shock you. They don't know anything about you in

[Monet X Change]

New York City anymore. You. This nigga is going back. This nigga begged to go do the Glamour wars, and now he swear he's New York's number one request to Queen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I am.

[Monet X Change]

This nigga begged. He begged Cherry Jubilee to have her. Him do the fucking Glam Awards, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I called you, Julie, and I said, can you please allow me to do. Be a part of an institution that really helped shape who I am as a person? Good for you.

[Monet X Change]

And she said, I guess we'll have your fucking black ass, nigger.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just want to point out that Charitably did not say that.

[Monet X Change]

Is there proof that she didn't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That. Did not say that. Also, none of this is how any of this went down. But if you all believe that, then Monet has some exuberant land in Florida that she wants to sell you.

[Monet X Change]

What are your. What are your resolutions for your New Year's resolutions?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I think that I want to continue my journey of being understanding and continue my journey of letting go of ego. Except when it comes to you. I think that I want to. You know, I was thinking about something recently, and I was like, it really does. Letting go of ego is one of the hardest things to do, but I think it is legit, the best thing you can ever do for yourself, like, legitimately,

[Monet X Change]

kind of big ego.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you. How do you feel about letting go of your ego?

[Monet X Change]

Such a huge. I don't think I have any ego.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't have any ego?

[Monet X Change]

No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All right, thank you all so much for listening to Silver. My name is Bob the Drag Queen,

[Monet X Change]
