Transcript

[A]

Close your eyes. Exhale. Feel your body relax. And let go of whatever you're carrying today.

[B]

Well, I'm letting go of the worry

[A]

that I wouldn't get my new contacts

[B]

in time for this class. I got them delivered free from 1-800-contacts.

[A]

Oh, my gosh, they're so fast. And breathe.

[B]

Oh, sorry. I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry. Namaste.

[A]

Visit 1-800-contacts.com today to save on your first order.

[B]

1-800-contacts. I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day, I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it

[A]

to me because it's so easy to use.

[B]

It's like I can't stop. I'm addicted. Start your free [e-mail]. my name is Bob the Drag Queen.

[A]

And I'm Monet James. And this is Sibling Rivalry. On this week's episode, we talk about our voices changing.

[B]

We wrap up 2022, and we find

[A]

out what made Bob say this.

[B]

No one from the sea also, except was there is Jinx, literally in a feud with everyone from All Star seven. And we found out what made Monet say this.

[A]

You're a nasty bitch, Regina George. You're a mean girl.

[B]

You are on hands to the final podcast for Sibling Rivalry of the year 2022.

[A]

Is it really?

[B]

This is our last one.

[A]

This is the final podcast of the year 2022. How do you. Well, we'll get there. According to you. Anytime I jump in this Monet, like the first 15 minutes we hang out. Yeah, that's you.

[B]

That's where to be. You in a rush, but. Exactly.

[A]

We don't start talking about the topic. And actually, we do. We have to do a call in an hour.

[B]

That doesn't mean we have to rush. The podcast is still going to be the same length of time.

[A]

Yeah, but I'm saying we don't need to rush to what the topic is.

[B]

Would you do a podcast that will release at the end of the year that we do. Okay, wait, I'm trying to figure out. Do the math. Fifteen minutes a month, and we release it at the end of the year.

[A]

So each is too long.

[B]

No, it'd be. That'd be an hour.

[A]

No, 15 minutes a month.

[B]

No, five minutes a month. Yeah, five minutes a month.

[A]

Five times 12 is 60. Yeah, yeah. I just put it together, and then

[B]

at the end of the year, we release the podcast. It probably.

[A]

Honestly, it would make any sense, but

[B]

it might make all the sense.

[A]

It would be nonsensical.

[B]

We'll be like, all right, guys, it is January, but we have five minutes. Talk about what happened in January.

[A]

Also, we'll see the.

[B]

Our.

[A]

How our voices change over a year. Because the voice does change, because we do a podcast every week. You can hear it if you listen to the first podcast and the last podcast of the year. I think you will see a lot of big difference.

[B]

My voice has aged over the years. I sound older than I did when I was on Drag Race. When I was on Drag Race. I sound so young.

[A]

You're like, a lot of your voice, you're talking like this. You're like, Thorgy.

[B]

You're like, I'm here. No, it's more like this. My voice used to sound kind of like this. It was just a bit higher, but not with this inflection. It'd be like, girl, Monet. And now it's like Monet, but back then, it'd be like, well, RuPaul. I don't know. I don't know what happened to me over the years.

[A]

I am something. I am humble.

[B]

I am beautiful, I am talented, and I am smart. Beautiful, talented and humble. But there would be no, like, rumble in my. It'd be like. And humble. I can't even do that. I can't even access my own voice anymore.

[A]

I sound the same.

[B]

Okay? It's not a competition. You, Patti LaBelle, Stan, talking about someone. Patty, that's. Whenever you mention Mariah Carey's singing, someone always, inevitably brings up Patti LaBelle every time.

[A]

In what rigor?

[B]

Whenever someone's like, well, Patti LaBelle. Whenever I talk about Mimi, the emancipation, I call her Mimi. Whenever I'm talking about Mimi, I'm always like, well, she can't sing what she did. She was 19 years old, and some fucking loser has come out of the woodworks and goes, Patti LaBelle can still sing the way she. Okay, that's Patti LaBelle.

[A]

Okay, so here's my question. When you have these conversations about Mariah, do you just want. Do you not want any discourse? You just want someone to disagree with everything you're saying?

[B]

It's not about. Agree with everything I'm saying. I don't think it is fair to judge Mariah Carey because she can't sing the way she used to. And then everyone goes we're not judging. We're just saying. But you are judging because the way you're saying it, it's not just like, oh, yeah, Mariah Carey's voice has changed over the years. She can't hit the nose she used to hit.

[A]

Well, I will say oftentimes how Bob starts is not every time, but oftentimes when he starts a conversation, you go, people who say that Mariah Carey can't sing anymore, they could suck a fucking dick. Like, listen to this voice. So the way you're starting the conversation,

[B]

you're Mariah Carey hater. And it's. It's.

[A]

I am not a Mariah Carey hater.

[B]

You're not a lamb.

[A]

That is not true. I am a lamb. I literally have spoken on this podcast.

[B]

You're a wolf on lamb's clothing.

[A]

I have spoken. How amazing her book is and how. And how inspiring.

[B]

Mariah Carey as an author on top of her as a vocalist, you're like, as an author, she is brilliant. I said that.

[A]

Mariah Carey is one of the greatest voices of our time.

[B]

You're a wolf in lamb's clothing.

[A]

You're ridiculous.

[B]

That sound familiar to you?

[A]

You are ridiculous.

[B]

That rings a bell, huh?

[A]

No, it rings a Patti LaBelle.

[B]

And I love Patti LaBelle.

[A]

Apparently you don't. You just try to shit on Patti's career.

[B]

I would never do that.

[A]

You just try to hate on Patti LaBelle. Do you know that guy from her who did the Come on.

[B]

Patty.

[A]

Patty him. They're like best friends now. He comes to her house for Thanksgiving and he's there throughout a lot of the year. He cooks for her family that cook for each other. They're like homies.

[B]

I can't tell if you say more words that rhyme with here than I do or if I just keep hearing it because you say it kind of strange, but I feel like you say, year hair, air share, Care Bear drinking a bear. What do you drink?

[A]

Beer. That's it. Weird.

[B]

Beer. I mean, we've gone through. It's your accent. You say bear.

[A]

I said beer.

[B]

Yeah. You say bear, and I say. And most people with an American accent say beer.

[A]

That's what I said.

[B]

Beer, Beer, beer. Say, a grizzly bear drinks beer.

[A]

A grizzly bear drinks beer.

[B]

Do you see how they're the same? A grizzly bear drinks beer.

[A]

A grizzly bear drinks beer.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Okay. There you go. Like, I fixed it. How I said it is fine, too.

[B]

I didn't say.

[A]

I'm like, yeah, there you go. You did it.

[B]

No, it's just that I can't tell if you say air ear words more than other people do or.

[A]

There's no way that's true.

[B]

It feels like you do, though. Like, it feels like you say hear and ear and air a lot.

[A]

Same phenomenon, like, where you, like, see someone like, like you wear a shirt. Like, if I had.

[B]

If.

[A]

If you saw people with shenanigans shirts out, it would stick out to you. Cause, like, wow. People have like.

[B]

I'd be shocked. Cause this is a custom.

[A]

I have that same shirt and I

[B]

gave it to you.

[A]

I don't think cracker. Ms. Cracker gave me that shirt.

[B]

Absolutely not.

[A]

Ms. Cracker gave me that shirt.

[B]

I gave it to her. Oh, my God.

[A]

You're insane. You're looking very squinty.

[B]

I'm not. I have done nothing but gain weight. I have been in my unhealthy eating bag.

[A]

Very beautiful. Can I. Can I appreciate you and love on you for a second.

[B]

Well, I appreciate that, but I'm. But if it's in the form of me being skinny, I would like to

[A]

not validate that, but also might be the thing you said. You told me you're going to.

[B]

You're going to bring up my. My work every time we're on this podcast. Every single time. This is.

[A]

I walked into the house.

[B]

I. That was off the podcast when I one time insinuated that Monet was going to get anal bleaching, which, by the way, she shot her from the rooftops on. On her other little podcast, which, by the way, has Ladybug replaced you. She's got every guest in the world. Ada Box on the podcast. Are you seen. Are y'.

[A]

All.

[B]

Are y' all at odds?

[A]

No, I'm back.

[B]

Are you? Anyway, I insinuated you were getting anal bleaching and you were like, don't. Don't, bitch. Don't ever mention my fucking business in these streets again, you bitch. Don't ever say anything about me and my fucking procedures ever again, bitch. My. My procedures. Procedures, bitch. My super secret cosmetic procedures, bitch. I go and get a small amount of filler in my chin. Monet has got rented a billboard across from Kylie Jenner's in the fucking weho.

[A]

Can I.

[B]

With before and after pictures?

[A]

I. Why is every podcast. I'm happy we don't have a plan. Every podcast is like a couch. They sit like this and there's a plant in the middle. Kind of like how we set up our meet and greet on tour. I'm happy. Hours is different and I Don't want us ever to ever do that.

[B]

I am gonna get two chairs in here, though, Bob.

[A]

That's literally every podcast setup ever.

[B]

Well, I wanna be more comfortable.

[A]

We can be comfortable, but I think there's a way to be comfortable and still be unique in sibling rivalry. Maybe we should do bunk beds. Okay, here's a thought.

[B]

At whose house? Yours.

[A]

You get bunk beds at your house, or we get a facade of bunk beds and you're in the top one,

[B]

I'm on the bottom.

[A]

I'm on the top one, you're in the bottom one at your house, and then we're, like, talking.

[B]

Have you ever.

[A]

Okay, have you ever seen. This may be a reach? Cause I don't know where you fall in the age range of this.

[B]

I'm 36.

[A]

Were you a Three Ninjas fan?

[B]

No.

[A]

What is that? Jacob, do you know Three Ninjas?

[B]

No.

[A]

The three boys, Rocky, Tum Tum, and Colt.

[B]

These your friends from the glory old east Flatbush bedside, Brooklyn.

[A]

Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum. They were the Three Ninjas, and they had, like a trilogy of movies. It was the Three Ninjas was the first one.

[B]

Wait a minute.

[A]

I don't know if it was Disney, but there were three boys, and they would have the colors of blue, green, and yellow, and they would fight.

[B]

Do you keep your phone in your pussy?

[A]

Yeah, sometimes I have it on my side today.

[B]

The Three Ninjas.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, probably when you see, like,

[A]

oh, my God, yes, I used to love.

[B]

Actually, no, it got worse. Like I thought I knew, but I would realize I was just thinking about the Power Rangers. Tom. Tom, Tom. Cause there was a Power Ranger named Tommy.

[A]

No, it wasn't Tom. Tom. Tum Tum. Like tummy. Cause they like to eat a lot.

[B]

Uh.

[A]

Oh, yeah. I was at the gym today, and this woman was working out, and she

[B]

start with the truth, though. Go ahead. Where you at? You were at five, guys. Go ahead.

[A]

She was working out and she was laying out, doing exercises, and I don't know if this is appropriate to say, but her yoga pants, her lady parts, it was just like.

[B]

Like was the yoga pants in the

[A]

pussy lips, and you could see both sides of the lips. And when I tell you bitch. She was.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

I said bitch. She better work.

[B]

You can pump your pussy, can you? Yeah, you could put a pump. I know I have a cough when I don't act like it's a pussy. I think you need to.

[A]

We should do COVID testing before we

[B]

get Covid needs nuts.

[A]

My bitch.

[B]

Anyway, you can put a Pump over your pussy, and then if you like, and pump it, and then your pussy lips are, like, really tight.

[A]

It may have been that, because, I mean, I have seen, you know, women's parts in pants before, but this was. I mean, I'm trying to, like. Let's say this is the. Like, it was. Have you ever seen that thing with that trend when they would someone, like, throw an egg or something at a woman. Oh.

[B]

And they were grabbing?

[A]

It was literally like that.

[B]

I was like, word. Well, some people just have fat pussies. Some people. Some people just have really fat pussies. Who's the Kardashian who has a fat pussy? She talks about her. How fat her pussy is. She's like, my pussy's large and in charge. She said on Drag Race.

[A]

Is that Khloe? I think Khloe's the only Kardashian's been on Drag Race.

[B]

Yeah. Khloe was like, my puss is large and in charge. I have a very fat pussy.

[A]

If I had a vagina, I would like it to be fat.

[B]

Fat pussies are great if you want to like a fat pussy.

[A]

I mean, I would like to.

[B]

All pussies are great. I'm not here to, like, make a hierarchy of pussies, but I think they look really nice when it is fat.

[A]

You prefer fatter ones?

[B]

Yeah, I think a fat looks nice.

[A]

Yeah. I think I would like to have a fat pussy. Because also, I also.

[B]

If it's not a fat pussy, it's fine, too. Like, that's. I'm not. I'm not gonna be like, ew, it's not fat. I'm gonna be like, oh, I'm happy to be here. Thanks for having me over.

[A]

I've All. I've thought, because, you know, I. I wear, like, leggings and stuff to the gym, and I wear.

[B]

And it's vulgar.

[A]

But.

[B]

Okay, here's the thing I've gone to vulgar to.

[A]

First of all, I wear tucking panties.

[B]

So my junk is not like, well, that's an update. Cause Monet goes to the airport in the flimsiest. The least structurally sound underwear she can find. I mean, shorts she can find. The underwear is not structurally sound, and shit is plopping and flopping around. That's not true, Monet. You flop around and you wear. Not only do you wear flimsy underwear, you wear flimsy shorts on top of the underwear. We can call anyone right now, and they will verify that you wear flimsy underwear that are not structurally sound and that Your junk flops around at the airport specifically.

[A]

That is not true.

[B]

We can literally call anyone from the. Anyone who travels.

[A]

No one has ever told me this.

[B]

I'm here to tell you today.

[A]

And my other friend that has, like, who is it? Who you calling?

[B]

Don't worry about it. Just. Just. Just know that we're about to get some verification on this situation.

[A]

If it's your assistant, then she is not a genuine witness.

[B]

Hello, Kennedy, you're on the podcast. Kennedy, you're on the podcast. Real quick. Okay. Can you just kind of describe the shorts that Monet wears at the airport sometimes? Like, what. What is it like to see Monet shorts?

[A]

The airport. At the airport?

[B]

Yeah, like, when Monet travels the same.

[A]

She wears the same shorts.

[B]

Yeah, those everywhere.

[A]

Yeah, those knitted ones that are, like, multi colorful and she doesn't wear underwear and they're really short and she cut them even shorter.

[B]

I do not wear those. Okay, that sounds about right. Thank you, Kennedy. That was unprompted. She's flopping around, right? Yes, thank you, Kennedy. I was.

[A]

I have never.

[B]

Have a good day, Kennedy. Enjoy your day off. Okay, that was unprompted.

[A]

I would say. I want to this. I wear those multicolored ones around town. We would have stuff in here. I will never wear those to the airport because they literally have. My body's exposed. I would never wear those.

[B]

So you do wear shorts that your

[A]

body's exposed in around town? Like when I'm coming here, when I'm coming over, hanging out at my friend's house. Not when I'm, like, going to do business.

[B]

Do you stop at the gas station on the way over here? No, my car is like, I need to get an oil change.

[A]

When was the last time I got an oil change? I've never gotten. Since you've had your car, I've never got an oil change.

[B]

I have one scheduled for tomorrow.

[A]

What is wrong with you?

[B]

I have one scheduled for tomorrow.

[A]

You have to get it twice a year or every $5,000.

[B]

I have one scheduled for tomorrow.

[A]

You've had your car as long as I have, so that means you've had your car for a year and a half, almost two years, and you've never got a change?

[B]

I have one scheduled. Oh, my God. Are you not hearing this part where I keep saying I have one scheduled for tomorrow?

[A]

I'm flabbergasted.

[B]

Well, my cars are kind of making noises.

[A]

I've had my oil change twice.

[B]

It's not a competition, my man. It's not a competition, but if the competition is who's gone the longest without an oil change, I win.

[A]

Bitch. That Venza is about to be a fucking Benza. Okay. Just broken and bent over.

[B]

Well, I, I want to go to Monarchy.

[A]

You probably warranty where you got your car.

[B]

I do and I have to. Okay. I drove down to the Toyota dealership. I drove a Toyota. I drove the most trusted car in America. I drove down to the Toyota dealership and they were like, oh yeah, it's going to be like six hours if you don't have an appointment. I was like, what? So I was like, I'll just go to the monkey and pay 60 bucks. I'd rather pay 60 bucks than wait the hours.

[A]

So. Okay, when you go to the dealership, what I do because my warranty too, because my car is new. If you go like first thing in the morning, like 7am when there's no line, you get in and out. They normally take like an hour and a half. But I bring a computer, I answer some emails, I do some work by the time. So if you go like right when they open, you'll be fine. But what time did you go? Like in the middle of the day?

[B]

It was like one.

[A]

Yeah. No, no, no. You have to go like bright and early.

[B]

Well, I have an appointment tomorrow, so I'm going to go. This is my first time owning a car in, in years.

[A]

No, if it was me, I would say years. To quote, like what I was saying, let's take a break and the wheels.

[B]

Don't talk about how many years you've

[A]

been peddling that joke.

[B]

Let's take a one year break. And we're back.

[A]

You look very.

[B]

You say we're here. Kind of funny too.

[A]

We're here.

[B]

But also Eureka says we're here.

[A]

Well, she's from Johnson's, Johnsonville City.

[B]

Johnson City, Tennessee.

[A]

Johnson.

[B]

But it's so interesting. She goes, well, when we do we're here. And I'm like, she really says were.

[A]

Does she think it's were and not we're?

[B]

I mean, I think she knows it's pronounced we're, but her accent is were. Were here.

[A]

That's an accent to say were, not were.

[B]

It's. She just. It's not were like were you there? It's like we're we're. She pronounces we're as were. We're here.

[A]

Got it. How does Shangela say it?

[B]

Well, hallelujah, honey, we're here. And I say we have a show called we're here. This is funny. How was your 2022.

[A]

2023.

[B]

Is that crazy?

[A]

At the end of the day, people always say that. I'm like, not really. I'm like. It feels. We're on track. Nothing. It doesn't feel crazy. We're going to a new year.

[B]

Is it a leap year?

[A]

No, I think. When is the leap year?

[B]

2024 is the next leap year. Wait, is it ever four years?

[A]

Every four years is a leap year.

[B]

Wait, is the election year always a leap year? Oh, my God.

[A]

Maybe.

[B]

How did I not catch on to that?

[A]

I don't know. But my 2022 was great. I love living in LA. I bought a home this year. I paid off my grandmother's car. This year. I paid off her. Wow.

[B]

What kind of car?

[A]

We went. What does she have? She has a Honda Accord.

[B]

You didn't want to buy her a new one?

[A]

Wow.

[B]

No, she bought yourself a house, but you wouldn't buy your grandma car, but you bought yourself a house.

[A]

It's the year 2022. We went on.

[B]

Can we talk about why you? Why you. We went on our first. We know why. You're not a good grandson.

[A]

[B]

Oh, yeah?

[A]

Yeah. Only music. I'm finally getting this album done. Doing a lot.

[B]

Ever since I dropped that album, you've been.

[A]

You've been. Have you listened?

[B]

I have listened almost to all of it. I was shocked because of 23 tracks. I thought it was going to be, like eight hours long, and I was not interested. But it's really short.

[A]

Yeah, it's an hour, hour and seven minutes.

[B]

Mine, mine. Mine's saying blind, blind, blind, blind.

[A]

Have you listened to the alternative tracks?

[B]

No.

[A]

She has, like, a very average. Very up your alley. Ever living. You love Ever Levine.

[B]

Yeah, I like Avro. I mean, maybe more than the average person, but I don't. I'm not gonna. I'm not. I think maybe. I think you're making it seem like I'm like. Like she's my cashier or something.

[A]

Your catcher.

[B]

Kesha. Oh, like, I love Kesha. I like Avril Lavigne.

[A]

Got it. How was your 2022?

[B]

Okay. Can you tell yours? And I wasn't listening.

[A]

No. I'm not saying again. They heard.

[B]

Well, I was listening. Well, that's between us.

[A]

And I'll think about telling you mine again.

[B]

Well, let's go back to the Honda Accord.

[A]

No, tell me you're 20, 22.

[B]

Well, how many payments did she make before you stepped in?

[A]

Like a couple months. Like six months.

[B]

Okay. Okay, yeah.

[A]

Year 2022.

[B]

I'm just trying to sign up for Grandma X change.

[A]

I don't even know her name. I know your grandmother's name.

[B]

Hattie Mae. See, that's a deep cut, Monet. Appreciate, but that is a deep cut. Hattie Mae xj. Monet used to always say, what was your bit?

[A]

I forget.

[B]

Monet used to be like, I come from a long line of exchanges. My grandma Hattie Mae exchange.

[A]

That was a deep cut. Wow, you do listen to me sometimes.

[B]

That's so interesting. No, I cannot remember your grandmother's name. What's your grandmother's name?

[A]

Cecilia.

[B]

You remember my grandma's name? Yeah.

[A]

You have Grandma Julia. Well, Julie, but her name was Julie. Why did you call her Julia?

[B]

We called her Julia and we called her Julie. Julie was short for Julia.

[A]

Oh, got it. Yeah.

[B]

So we called her Grandma Grandma. Grandma Julie or Grandma Julia.

[A]

Got it. I don't know if you say it. Give me the first word, the letter. Lisa.

[B]

Grandma Liz.

[A]

Liz.

[B]

Well, her name was Elizabeth. We called her Grandma Liz. Her name was actually Mary Elizabeth, but we didn't call her Grandma Maryland. We called her Grandma Liz. Grandma Liz. Grandma Julie. But her name. I've said this. I said, if you're new here. My grandmother's. I didn't know my father's mother name until I went to her funeral. I thought her name was Julia, but her name was Julia. But everyone's from the country, so they just called her Julia. So I. I didn't even know how that was spelled. I just thought her name was like, Ju. Julia or Ju. And then I found out her name was like, she has. Her name is Julia Roberts. Imagine if we all say Julia Roberts.

[A]

Well, you know, it's so funny because we used to we. For my mate. Her name was Julietta, but we call her Julietta. Sorry,

[B]

I was thinking that, you know Terry Jo on. On TikTok? Yeah.

[A]

I saw y'. All. Do y' all do a video together.

[B]

I wanted to go live. I have this idea where I would join your live as Julietta. And I was gonna put like a Saint Lucian, like, beach in the background and be like, kevin, please can we have the week off?

[A]

That'd be funny.

[B]

My year. Okay, 20. At the beginning of 20. 20. Deuce. We started filming. We're here. Did we start filming?

[A]

No, it's other than the summer.

[B]

You know, honestly, this year's a book. I literally have to go through my calendar to, like, look at what I. I've done. And I feel like at the beginning of 2022. Let's go back back to the beginning. Oh, you did the. Did you do the Kaya cruise?

[A]

I did not do any cruise.

[B]

I was supposed to do a cruise.

[A]

I've never done a cruise before.

[B]

But then. Oh, I didn't do the cruise because Covid was. Covid numbers were spiking. Yep, I remember that. Covid numbers were spiking. And then we ended up. We did end up doing Aspen in January. The first gig that we did together I forgot about that was Aspen. And then I moved.

[A]

I skied for the first time. Did you. Did you enjoy skiing in Aspen?

[B]

Skiing was fun. I enjoyed it. Honestly, when you're out there and you're active, it doesn't feel cold.

[A]

It does not feel cold.

[B]

Mitch came to visit me in February, which was really nice to have Mitch here. And then my cousin Caroline Caldwell came to visit as well. I had a lot of guests in February, which is really, really nice to have. I'm just going through my. Picking out the. The highlights, and then what the hell was I doing here?

[A]

Where would you go month for month? I can't remember either. That's a good idea. Going to your calendar.

[B]

Oh, and then we're here. Started filming in April.

[A]

Yeah, that's what it was.

[B]

Yeah, we're here. Started filming in April, which we. Which this season is really. I'm really proud of this season over here.

[A]

I mean, I. I've only seen up to episode two. I haven't seen episode three or four yet.

[B]

Baby, baby. When I. When I tell you all, like, all

[A]

three seasons, because she actually had never seen it before.

[B]

When I tell you. You binge watched it. Yeah, it's a lot to binge watch,

[A]

but I see has a lot of emotion, so she enjoyed it.

[B]

When I tell you season three, episode four is in insane.

[A]

Oh, I mean, that's the Jersey episode.

[B]

This is New Jersey. Shangela had the wildest drag kid I think we've ever had on the show.

[A]

Really?

[B]

I mean, spoiler alert, spoiler alert, spoiler alert. He was just like a very reluctant drag kid at one point. He just says the N word around her.

[A]

Is he. What is he white?

[B]

He's very white.

[A]

And wait, how does Shanger React Shangela.

[B]

The same way she reacted you when you said

[A]

she did have a lot of contention.

[B]

She literally mentioned. She literally brought up her grandma there. She literally. She was like, that's a very hard word for me with my family. Me and my grandma, we have a lot of history with that word, so please don't use it. And he was like, I don't think we should be banning words.

[A]

In what context did he use it?

[B]

He was like, this guy sat down and starts telling nigger jokes. And then Shenzhou goes, whoa. And then he was trying. It was so weird because at first he was trying to say to the guy, he was like, I don't like that you will walk up and start telling these jokes. But then when Shane was like, I don't like you say nigger. He was like, well, I don't think we should be banning words.

[A]

That's weird.

[B]

It was very. I was like, girl, where do you stand on this? Yeah, like, where are you at on this politically? Because it seems like you want to say it, but you don't want other people to walk. Walk up to usa.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Weird. But anyway, it was. It was a very weird here. Weird here.

[A]

Yeah, it was.

[B]

It was very. It was a very odd episode. Chancellor had her work cut out for that episode.

[A]

Okay, wait, so, yeah, we did Aspen.

[B]

That was January. Not you back in. I'm already in May.

[A]

Well, I need to. Oh, I posted a pit stop this year. That was fun.

[B]

Oh, yeah, you know, I was a pit stop.

[A]

I was doing those alpha food things, which were very fun. In February, I saw Chelsea, which I

[B]

was not a guest on.

[A]

In February, he confirmed that I wasn't a guest. You were not.

[B]

And it wasn't invited.

[A]

Yeah, we're not invited.

[B]

Got it. Okay.

[A]

I just want to be clear about that in February.

[B]

But you wanted to borrow my boyfriend. Take your. Take your pictures.

[A]

Your voice was hired, he was employed.

[B]

And he still has not been hired. He still has not been hired. He's not doing for free at Bob

[A]

the Drag Queen llc.

[B]

It still has not been paid by your production, Whole Foods Productions.

[A]

He is paid, and I saw the invoices.

[B]

Jacob would like his money, please.

[A]

He would take all the drag queen for free anyway. And I met Chelsea Handler for the first time, which was very fun.

[B]

You're welcome.

[A]

That was not.

[B]

We have. Big deal. Go ahead. You're welcome.

[A]

We've literally debunked on the podcast. Not big deal.

[B]

Go ahead. You're welcome. It's not a big deal. You're welcome.

[A]

My God,

[B]

you don't have to think.

[A]

We did the. Oh, I. I forgot. All Star seven was this year. That feels like it was a lifetime ago. But we filmed the promo in February.

[B]

Which fun. No, I hosted the piss off this year. You. You.

[A]

Mine was airing. I did season. I did season 14.

[B]

You filmed it this year.

[A]

I filmed it this year, too.

[B]

I filmed it in June. P. For Drag Race 14.

[A]

You did the pits up for All Stars 7.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, I know. I did it for All Stars 7, honey. Also, where were you last night?

[A]

Why?

[B]

Because all the balls went to go support Jinx and Bendelacrem show.

[A]

No one invited me. I didn't. I didn't even know the show was even happening.

[B]

Are you serious?

[A]

I have no idea.

[B]

Have you seen a picture of us? All the balls together? I saw that.

[A]

Like, no one invited me.

[B]

And I was like, not. Not Monet the Ball not trying to show up.

[A]

No one invited me. I didn't know. You didn't tell me you were going to.

[B]

Well, Jinx invited me. I had an extra ticket.

[A]

She didn't invite me.

[B]

Girl, I had an extra ticket. I had an open seat with everything.

[A]

She didn't invite me.

[B]

Well, you were busy last night. You were hanging out with Andy and his family.

[A]

Yeah, but that's. Cause if there's something else to do, I would have went, but I was.

[B]

It was a really good show.

[A]

I know. They have a brilliant show.

[B]

They honestly.

[A]

She said

[B]

this bitch said.

[A]

Not you.

[B]

Not you.

[A]

First runner up, loser bitch.

[B]

Oh, my God. When none of the other. No one from the All Star seven was there.

[A]

She didn't invite. She didn't invite me.

[B]

Is Jinx literally in a feud with everyone from All Star 7?

[A]

Maybe she's.

[B]

She's freaking out right now. Jinx. We're kidding. We're kidding. But if anyone clips this. Cut out the part where I said I'm kidding and just tag Jinx in it.

[A]

Yeah, she said, no, ma'. Am work.

[B]

It was. But it was so good. I mean, it was a very, very. It was just amazing. The writing is really brilliant.

[A]

I would love to see it.

[B]

I feel like Ben Lacrime could be a writer on, like, Rick and Morty. She's so clever.

[A]

Yeah. Ben. I saw Ben's show fully committed. I saw it when it was. She was doing it at the Dynasty Typewriter. It was a great show. So smart.

[B]

Ready to be committed.

[A]

Ready to be committed.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It was a really good show.

[B]

And I saw her show Cosmos, which is a show about the planets.

[A]

Oh, word. At the.

[B]

At the Laura Beachman. Wow. The way her. Her journey has been really fierce. From Laurie Beachman to Dynasty typewriter to the. The Orpheum.

[A]

Or was it was the Orpheum last night.

[B]

Yeah, the Orpheum last night.

[A]

She better work.

[B]

That's why I won Drag Race work.

[A]

Yeah. Ben is great.

[B]

It was. It was me, Kim, Trixie, her partner, Madame laqueer, Honey Davenport. And then, like, some other ball guy that. David, Trixie's boyfriend, and some other ball guy who. I don't know.

[A]

Words.

[B]

David just decided to join the balls this year.

[A]

Oh, did he really? Yeah. Good.

[B]

You gotta. Honestly, if you're not gonna go get surgery, then fucking just join the balls. If you're not gonna do the surgery, just join the balls.

[A]

Shave it off.

[B]

You have, like. I mean, do what you want with your hair. But just so you know, if you're not gonna get the surgery and you aren't joining the balls, then we're all looking at you like, when are you

[A]

gonna fully come in?

[B]

I saw a guy at the airport, and I'm like, I'm not trying to judge. I'm bald, too. I get it. And. But I wasn't having a big deal when, honestly, shaving my head just kind of wasn't that big of a deal.

[A]

Yeah, it wasn't a big. It wasn't a thing from. Also, but I think because. Well, no, because some. Some black folks, too. But I was gonna say, because my hair has always been short. It wasn't like I had long hair. And then I had to, like, really commit to this thing. I've always had short hair and just kind of going back and back and back. I was like, whatever.

[B]

So this. I. I mean, I didn't take a picture because I. I don't want to take pictures of people in public because it feels rude, but when I tell you, literally, I mean, it was lit. Monet, I need you to. I'm not kidding around. Imagine Homer Simpson with those three strings of hair. No, but they were coming from the back to the front. No, in three. No, like, not string, but three. Like, kind of, like tufts of hair. But you could see everything in between. And I was like, baby, who do you live with? Do you have a partner? A friend, a coworker?

[A]

Damn.

[B]

Do you have a hairdresser? Are you going to the barbershop to do this? What is going on? If you're out there and you're on the verge and you haven't let go yet, think about all the bald people, you know, who look really nice with bald Heads. Bald heads are hot.

[A]

Yeah, for sure. But sometimes people don't have good head shapes. And that's the thing, too. But what you're describing, you can already see the head shape. So it's like, what are you holding onto?

[B]

It was crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I was like, girl, either. Either get the surgery or. And you can go to other places and get them for less. And apparently the best place to get them is apparently Turkey.

[A]

Yeah, I've heard that.

[B]

Apparently in Turkey.

[A]

The turkey.

[B]

Do black people here, you know, I don't know.

[A]

That's the thing. Because that's why I found.

[B]

I don't know any black folks have ever gotten that done.

[A]

There's some celebrities like Tyga, apparently. This is bad.

[B]

I'm just saying, you not your Elton Tiger. I mean, it's Monet. If you got work done, Monet will out your work. We'll be back with more people. Monet's outing.

[A]

Have you seen Jinx did not invite me.

[B]

Have you seen what's his name is going through?

[A]

Who?

[B]

Blueface.

[A]

What is he going through? I told you about this. Him and him and Chrisean.

[B]

But now it keeps popping up on the screen. Now her family's getting. It's like, it's crazy. Someone just said, can someone please go save Blueface, man? Like, I feel, I genuinely feel bad for him.

[A]

They're in a very abusive relationship and it feels like they have their own show on Zeus. Whatever. People are glamorizing this thing. It's very crazy. Why? I don't see what you're talking about.

[B]

So I saw a video with Blueface just kind of hanging out. He's standing outside and Creshawn is there and she's yelling at him. And then there's some man who I, I, I'm just going to show money for a second. Here it is. Oh, that's not it. That's just. I follow. Drama on Tik Tok.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

If you don't know, my, my Tik Tok is. Here it is. Front of your chest.

[A]

Not again. I'm telling you that.

[B]

Don't touch me again.

[A]

All right?

[B]

And it's just that for like, ever. And like, poor Blueface, like, but he's in it, Bob. He like.

[A]

I mean, I don't know all this stuff. Apparently, like, he, like, hits her too. Like, it's, it's just a.

[B]

He hits her there.

[A]

Like it's a very contentious, cantankerous, like,

[B]

I don't, I don't know a lot about what's going on. I don't either. Every clip I see is, like, him getting hit, him getting belittled, him getting gaslit.

[A]

I've seen quite clips of. I mean, to be fair, I've never seen a clip of him hitting her, but that's what she alleges, that they fight.

[B]

I've seen clips of her hitting him.

[A]

I've seen clips of her hitting him.

[B]

And I've seen clips of her, like, saying that.

[A]

Oh, you remember when I gave you those two black eyes? And she laughs it off, like, stuff like that.

[B]

Yeah. And then. And there's. And there's a part where. Where. Like, where he. They're, like, arguing or something, right? And then she. She goes away, and then. Then he goes live, like, secretly, but she doesn't know. And then you just hear her just smashing dishes. I mean, just smashing dishes in the background. And then she's like, what are you doing? And he's like, I'm live. But he says it so fast. He's like, I'm live. I'm live. Like, he's like, if you don't hit me or don't do, like, I'm live. Like, whatever you're gonna do, don't do it because I'm live.

[A]

It's. It's not. It seems very crazy. It's crazy.

[B]

It is wild.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And also now this crazy with Megan. Thee.

[A]

I know. Well, you see, well, the thing with that, obviously the Megan and Tori trial is going on, and. Because, you know, she did an interview with Gayle saying that she didn't have sex with him or whatever, and then found out that she did. And people are like, you see, she had sex with him. I'm like, who gives a fuck? She could have sex with whoever the fuck she wants. What about her not saying that she had sex with him?

[B]

Maris getting shot.

[A]

Getting shot in the foot.

[B]

Like, who. Why.

[A]

Why is that even up for debate?

[B]

Anyway, so she told Gayle that she didn't have sex with. Yeah, Gail.

[A]

Like, Gayle asked a question like, did you. Did y' all have a sexual relationship or something like that? I don't know what the exact bust down, right? And she was like, no. And then in the court, in the trial, they had to ask either Megan or that other woman. I don't know what her involvement. I think she was in the car, Kelsey, or whatever the other lady is. And they found out that they did have a sexual relationship. And then everyone's like, see, she lied. She lied about her. Them having sex. I'm like. Because she probably felt that is. No one's business that they had sex. He still shot me.

[B]

Yeah. And even if she, even if she called his mama a hoe.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There is no reason to shoot someone. All and now a lot of folks and I'm seeing a lot of ladies coming for Megan, which is what's really kind of the crazy thing. Like a lot of ladies are like coming after Meghan and I thought the. The ladies were riding hard for Megan.

[A]

Yeah. I don't know. It's. It's so weird. It's so people bitch. That's why when people get so about and again, I love people who support me and stuff like that. When people are like, fans are fickle and they will like turn on you. Like the same people who were just all like, up Biggie, Megan up. Like a lot of these people are coming for her and saying like dismissing her trauma by getting shot. And it's really wild.

[B]

You need to get Spotify.

[A]

Why? I mean, every year, I will admit, every year around this time, Apple, Apple users, we sit here bald headed, sad and confused because we have nothing. This year when Spotify did that fucking. You didn't do it. You can do like your festival thing.

[B]

Yeah, I didn't do. Yeah, I didn't do mine.

[A]

I was like, that looks so fun. I was so jealous. Every run of the time I'm like, you know I'm gonna do it.

[B]

Why didn't do mine because. And bleep this. I didn't do mine because.

[A]

Gag. Shut up. Really.

[B]

I was like, I'm not posting my mouth. I was like, I ain't posting that shit work. They're gonna think of someone really problematic. It's not anyone problematic.

[A]

By the way, they can say his name.

[B]

It rhymes with don't please. Madrick Raw was my top artist. That's my top artist of the year. And then Ocean Kelly was my number two. And then Madonna and Doja Cat.

[A]

I want to say no Dosha. Oh yeah, you love Doja cat.

[B]

I love me some Doja Cat. Also. Also when we're in the car, Jacob. Jacob's obsession this year. Maybe we should. Maybe we'll do a Patreon exclusive. Jacob can do the. The breakdown rap from Vegas.

[A]

From Vegas.

[B]

Yeah. Doja cast a song. You ain't nothing but a dog. So we hit the car and Jacob there's a couple songs. So Jacob goes off for Cardi B's verse and up Cardi B. Jacob B.

[A]

No.

[B]

In rumors. Yes. Cardi B's verse and rumors. When she'd be like, all the rumors are true. Yeah, Fake ass, fake boobs. Yeah. Made the millionaire sues. Yeah. Y' all be running with fake. Look, Jacob's child is so hard not to rap right now. And Jacob. Jacob really loves dojas. I get it, I get it. You put them to my city.

[A]

Do you think 2023 is going to give us another Doja Cat album?

[B]

Yeah. I mean, it's been a year since Planet Her.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, but look at sza. SZA waited five years.

[B]

I'm not interested in that.

[A]

I'm trying to see, like, what is

[B]

it for Five years is not crazy. I know, but Rihanna is. What? We're on 12.

[A]

No, six. Auntie came out in 2016. So seven. Six years.

[B]

What song was on that one?

[A]

Auntie? That's consideration. That's. Sex is so amazing.

[B]

Okay, is that Better have My Money?

[A]

I don't.

[B]

Better have My Money.

[A]

I don't think it is. I was before that. Lizzo waited three years.

[B]

It's only been six years. Why are we acting like it's so crazy? Yeah, because. But Lizzo was also releasing singles in between. Like, Cardi B hasn't done anything since Invasion of Privacy, but she released, like, a few singles since then.

[A]

So does sza. SZA had, like, four singles, and they were like, char. Okay, I agree.

[B]

I do not dislike sza. Please don't spread that.

[A]

I am not saying that.

[B]

I'm just saying it's like you're about to say that.

[A]

I did not say that. Can I finish my sentence? I was like, I'm gonna go back onto SZA for a minute. SZA has broken so many records with this. With the release of this album. It's crazy.

[B]

You see the clip of her, like, losing her mind. Like, she's, like, snapping over something.

[A]

What was it again? Because they were gonna like her. I think her label was trying to, like, like, not put the album out. Like, wait. Wait till the top of the year. She's like, no.

[B]

Like, I did all this stuff, but it's already out. They try to, like, rescind the album.

[A]

No, this was before. This is like. Yeah, retroactive footage.

[B]

Yeah, people love sza.

[A]

This is great, man. She's so great. And the alternative songs on F2F. And. My top artist on Apple Music was. My top album was Renaissance. My top artist was sza, Beyonce and the fucking Apple Replay. Shit. I fucking hate Apple for that. I forgot how to even do it.

[B]

So I'll do my. My top artists were Todrick, Hall, Ocean, Kelly, Doja Cat, Madonna, and Beyonce, in that order. And my top Songs were the only one by Ocean Kelly, Crazy by Dochi Vegas by Doja Cat, Bob Queen, Todrick hall and Boss Bitch by Doja Cat.

[A]

Doja Cat. Doja Cat is a great artist. You see people's. Because she shaved her head and her eyebrows and she did this. Her birthday party was. It was like Illuminati themed. So everybody now is like, oh, my God.

[B]

She sacrificed, confirmed. Her humiliation era has begun.

[A]

I think that Dozica is just literally doing it to.

[B]

Oh, she's leaning it. She's leaning in.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

A lot of artists do it. Lady Gaga used to do it. Wow. Now we're. Now we're demonetized. Now Beyonce owns Civil Robbery. Now Beyonce literally owns these minutes.

[A]

Made it big. I listened to a total of.

[B]

Did it.

[A]

Say how many, honey hours?

[B]

38.

[A]

043 minutes of music.

[B]

I listened to 47 minutes of music. I listen to 12. I listen to 1300 hours.

[A]

Really?

[B]

13,000 hours.

[A]

I mean, I am like, triple the amount. My top song was 13,000.

[B]

Not 1300. 12,910.

[A]

My top song was Energy by Beyonce.

[B]

Oh, that's minutes. Mine is in minutes. Yours is in hours.

[A]

Minutes. Oh.

[B]

I was like, Jesus Christ.

[A]

An artist who sets the tone. See this? I'm not gonna say. Cause this is not true.

[B]

This is not true. I don't know what the fuck this is.

[A]

That is not true. No shade to this woman. This is not true.

[B]

You don't think she sets the tone? You don't think she set the mood?

[A]

My top album was Renaissance by Beyonce. Say 1006 plays.

[B]

You play the entire album a thousand times?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Or is that per track?

[A]

No. Top to bottom, a thousand times. That sounds right.

[B]

Not possible.

[A]

It is.

[B]

That's more than once a day. Yes, that would be. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[A]

Can I pause this?

[B]

Freeze. When did renaissance come out?

[A]

July 29th.

[B]

It came out halfway through the year. That means you have to pay the album six times a day, Bob.

[A]

That sounds about right. Sometimes more than that.

[B]

That means you have to play the entire album. That is. That means you spend six hours a day listening to the entire album.

[A]

I. When I have it on, I have it on the entire time. I'm flying multiple times on a flight. Like, I'll have. I'll put the album play, but it will be on repeat. Play. So if I sleep, it's just playing with it or not. When I'm at the gym, I will listen to it. If I'm at the gym for about an hour and a half, I listen to the album about Twice or three times.

[B]

So that would be six hours a day listening to this one album, Renaissance.

[A]

I spent a lot of time listening to Renaissance. To me, it's one of the best albums of Citizen Renaissance. My top two.

[B]

Not Monet. Trying to pit women against each other.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Can they just each be on their own? Why do they have to be against each other? Huh?

[A]

Apple replay is so crunchy. This is all I get.

[B]

My raps. You ready? Your top song. They give you a whole thing. My number was my number one song. Crazy. No, Maybe it's changed. Maybe it's. Maybe it morphs or whatever. But I think that my top song was Crazy by Dochi, which I absolutely love that song.

[A]

It's a top song.

[B]

Okay, let's see.

[A]

Wow. Now, don't. She owns a podcast.

[B]

But that's not Dochi. That's a cupcake.

[A]

Oh, cupcake.

[B]

Wow. Wow. All black women sound the same to you? Is that what you're saying?

[A]

Okay, wait. So I listened to Beyonce 4767 minutes, and SZA was right after her by 3249 minutes.

[B]

I listened to 23 different genres, apparently. And I'm just gonna keep updating as my number one genre is dance pop. Number two is Broadway. Number three is strut. Number four is rap. Number five is R& B. Why is that so funny?

[A]

Cause you're hilarious. What is it? Say that again.

[B]

Dance pop. Broadway.

[A]

He's such a faggot.

[B]

Strut Rap.

[A]

What the fuck is strut? Like Todrick.

[B]

Probably that.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then, I mean, look at this. You gotta be jealous.

[A]

Look how great this is. I agree. I agree.

[B]

It's also money. It's like $6 a month.

[A]

I pay for it a month. I just don't wanna integrate all my music. If I could do a thing where I could get all my Apple music and just copy to Spotify, I would change. But I can't.

[B]

But also, you can listen to this on everything. Like on your Amazon. Do you have Amazon Alexa?

[A]

Apple does it too.

[B]

But do you have Amazon Alexa? Yeah.

[A]

Apple music is on Alexa.

[B]

But also if you at someone's party. I don't know, this is.

[A]

And here's the thing, Bob, I don't know about you. I have been. My music has been. I have over 40,000. I have over 40,000 songs. Cause these are all songs from, like back when I used to use Limewire and Kazaa. Like my apple. My apple music is from back in the day. And just to tell you how I can do this SZA's album.

[B]

You hit me a lot in the podcast.

[A]

Yeah, we changed because you used to.

[B]

We made the bop beating up Monet Bop be the DQ videos. Can we make the one of me covered in bruises now?

[A]

I used to leave hearing bruises, so I'm only beating fear. Listen, just to give you contrast, SZA's album came out December 2nd. This is how many times I've played it since already 200.

[B]

Oh, no, you don't. 261 times. Is this the entire album?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

This is crazy.

[A]

Why is that crazy?

[B]

How is this possible? So how are you listening to Beyonce's album six times a day and SZA's

[A]

album also up to this point, I haven't listened. That's why SZA has gone up to this. Cause I've already had 261 plays. And it's only the album. It's not even a month yet.

[B]

This is my song at Love at first listen. So my top song was Mona Lisa. No, it's the only one. Ocean Kelly.

[A]

Oh, did he use that as an album artwork?

[B]

Yeah, it's the Mona Lisa, but with. But with Ocean Kelly's face on it, I think. And I played 1597 songs

[A]

all year.

[B]

That's how many songs all year? About 16, 1600 songs.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

Yours. Yours doesn't tell you that, does it? No, yours is like. You listen to music. Technically. Your is like, just get into it. Your year can't be contained in a playlist. They made me a playlist.

[A]

A little special. She's my number three album. I've played it.

[B]

I listen to 1040 artists this year, but one ruled my year, and it's going to be Todrick Hall. You like these artists so much, we put them together on the COVID of a magazine, kind of. So they made a magazine cover with Todrick Hall, Ocean Kelly, Madonna, Beyonce, and Doja Cat. I love Doja Cat so much.

[A]

But also. Also Bob, like, wears his. Bob wears his headphones, but. And Bob, I listen to music. You're listening to. Like you're scrolling through TikTok. You're watching. Like, you watching videos. Like, I'm always playing music in my stuff.

[B]

Yeah, I did listen to a lot of. Do you listen to any podcast? I listen to 2600. 2600 hours of podcasts.

[A]

I listen to. I listen to Trevor Noah's the Daily show podcast a lot because it's something that's very informative and funny.

[B]

Oh, wait, which one? What's it called?

[A]

It's called the Daily show podcast.

[B]

I think I'M on an episode of

[A]

the Daily show podcast. I was recently on one.

[B]

That's.

[A]

That's why my jinx didn't invite me.

[B]

Were you on the Daily show podcast?

[A]

Yeah, with.

[B]

With Trevor Noah?

[A]

Yeah, that video I showed you.

[B]

Oh, I thought you on the podcast.

[A]

No, no, no. This one.

[B]

No, no, I saw that.

[A]

Yeah. I'm saying this is the podcast. I listen to the Daily show with Trevor Noah. I listen to that a lot. I listen to you. I listen to the View every day.

[B]

That's a podcast.

[A]

Yeah. They put the whole episode as a podcast. Interesting.

[B]

It's the last thing. Thanks for spending your 2022 with us. Here is your year. Squeeze onto a page. They give you the whole thing work.

[A]

Todrick Hall. Todrick hall supremacy.

[B]

I think I sent Todrick Hall a screen grab of me him being my top artist. And I think I back like,

[A]

wait, wait, what?

[B]

Like I said him. A screen grab. Like I said him. And oh, she's like, look, you're my top. I was like, oh, she go, you're my top song. And I told you, you're my top artist. And he said, like, no, he didn't say. What did he say? I called him. I was like, bitch. That's all you're gonna fucking give me after I fucking told you you're my top artist of the year? He said, text me when you're up.

[A]

I can't.

[B]

Maybe so we can talk to each other.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean? Mm.

[A]

What are your hopes and dreams for 2023?

[B]

I want to release a comedy special.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

So I want to kind of. I kind of want to rerelease my last special, but I want to rerecord it and rerelease it because the. It's funnier now. I have new jokes added in. It's just better. It's just a better hour. I don't know if anyone does that, like a remix to their. To their comedy special.

[A]

If no one does it, you can be the first one.

[B]

But I kind of want to do the remix to my comedy special and, like, re release it.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[B]

Because I'm so proud of this hour that I have. But it's not a whole new hour. It's, like, integrated with the old hour because I actually wrote that hour, like, a month before I performed it. Maybe less.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it is funny. My last question about the drag queen live at Caroline's is funny, but I want to try to Mateo inspired me. Matteo Lane, by the way, if you all want to. Mateo Lane released a special this year.

[A]

Special?

[B]

Yeah. Where he is all crowd work. It's really clever, really smart, and it's already got, like, a million views in, like, in, like, less than a month, which is so amazing.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And part of me is like, I should do that, too. So I think that my mind is like, I want to try to release, like, two specials next year on YouTube. Just on my YouTube page. I love that because comedy really is my. My main comedy's my girl. Like, I've been. I've been make. I've been doing the Hehe hahas for a minute. Honey.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I know we asked every year, but are you doing any news? Resolutions?

[A]

No, I don't have a resolution. I'm just gonna. I'm committing to my soul to devote this entire year to music. My album.

[B]

What does that mean? What does that mean? Devoting my entire year to music. What does that mean?

[A]

Like, finishing up the album and putting a lot of time and energy into really promoting it in a good, fierce way and to really give my all into it. Cause, you know. Cause oftentimes as myself, as what, this drag queen, entertainer, comedy music person, I am, I kind of just like. I'm like, cooking the rice and the chicken and the turkey and the mashed

[B]

potatoes, and then everything gets burnt and everything tastes like shit.

[A]

Exactly. So I want to just.

[B]

Everything tastes good. You're great. Very funny, very talented, very pretty, very tall, very handsome. Very, very bald. Great teeth. Nice eyebrows. Nice little nose piercing. Nice. Your clothing line is nice.

[A]

Jacob Knew that was coming.

[B]

Yeah. Do you want to give me any fucking compliments, bitch?

[A]

So this. I want to focus.

[B]

Give me a compliment.

[A]

I love your jacket.

[B]

You're horrible.

[A]

You cannot give me compliments because you want to get a compliment back.

[B]

That's not why I gave you compliments. I gave you compliments. I wanted to, and now I'm asking you. Okay.

[A]

So can I give you a compliment when I want to?

[B]

Actually, don't give me a compliment ever again. Don't ever mention anything about me and my work as long as you live. So let's make that our New Year's resolution, huh? Let's make.

[A]

How about you resolute that fucking mic stand to the table?

[B]

Let's make your news.

[A]

Falling off still.

[B]

Let's make your New Year's resolution. Minding your business.

[A]

So I want to focus on the mashed potatoes and the gravy and just really work to make this the best mashed potatoes and gravy I can.

[B]

What if we don't like mashed potatoes

[A]

and gravy, then you don't fucking eat it. Go somewhere else. Go on. Else. Somewhere else.

[B]

You want to talk about why you have an attitude problem?

[A]

I think it's life. I think experiencing this world as a person of color and being forced to share multiple spaces with white people.

[B]

What am I, a personal caller? I don't have your attitude problem. You have an attitude problem. I don't have an attitude. You don't know what I have been through. You don't know where I've come from. Maybe I am hurt, but I grew

[A]

up with this, and I. Sit down. Tiffany, shut up. Wait.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

I used to do that monologue in the number. I completely forgot how it goes.

[B]

It goes. Stop it, stop it, stop it. When I yell at a girl in this, it's because she loves me. When I was. Tiffany, be quiet.

[A]

Tiffany.

[B]

When my mother yells at this because she loves me. I was rooting for you.

[A]

We were all rooting for you.

[B]

How dare you?

[A]

So that's why I'm angry because of those things. And so, yeah. What's your New Year's resolution?

[B]

I don't have one long. I don't have one, but I do have some gold. I do want to get those two specials out next year. I'm gonna do a crowd work special, and I want to do my remix. I'm gonna do Bob Drag Queen Live at Caroline's remake. Oh, my God. Caroline's is closed.

[A]

Yeah, Ing.

[B]

It's not closed yet, I don't think.

[A]

Are you gonna try to get it in before it closes? You gonna do somewhere else?

[B]

No, it was too expensive. To Carolinas. It costs. I mean, actually, it's not that expensive. It was, like, $17,000 to rent out Caroline's for a night. That expensive in terms of renting out a space for a comedy special. That's actually enough. Especially. Especially the, like, Caroline's Comedy Club. Like, the number one comedy club in America. That's, like, huge.

[A]

You better work, bitch. Not that expensive.

[B]

I also didn't pay for it myself. Damn out TV paid for it.

[A]

Maybe one day I can do a $17,000 project. That's not that expensive. That's fierce.

[B]

Shut the hell up.

[A]

Oh. What I did want to do is so, like, Patty and I have this. We have this dream that we want from me that, like. Cause I really, really, really miss doing, you know, like, old shows. Like a Barracuda or, like, my. My one on one show on Saturdays. I wanted to, like, do one of those shows. Again, but it's really hard to do because you like to do, like how I did, like, opening with. Opening with a number stuff. A number stuff. Drag suicide. But there's no way I will be able to do that and put it on YouTube. It will be demonetized immediately.

[B]

That's not true.

[A]

But getting clearances for the music.

[B]

No, no, no, no. Okay. Skibidi bop, bop. You can demonetize it. It will be demonetized. But. But you can still have it out there. Like. But. But it doesn't. It's not a marketing channel. So if you put a video on YouTube that has other people's music in it, you move. Your video is not straight. You don't get like a mark on your channel. It just. All the money from that part will go to the artist.

[A]

But I want to monetize it.

[B]

Well, then you have to do your own thing.

[A]

I know. Well, I'm saying. Or we can go through the hassle of trying to get clearances for. Which is going to be not. It's not impossible. It can be done. But it's like, it will be really, really arduous and expensive. And expensive. So, you know.

[B]

Well, then why don't you just post it for fun? Like, just post it as a. As a call.

[A]

I want the money because I want to be able to spend a $17,000 and it'd be not that much. I want to do.

[B]

We saw your bracelets, Patreon. We saw your bracelets. You wouldn't be monetizing it from the YouTube.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm going to say what J said so you. You can make it for the patrons. Or. Or do you not like our patrons? Or are you mad at them for some reason?

[A]

I'm not. I love the patrons. I don't like you. That's the point.

[B]

I won't watch it. Trust me. Oh, if it's there, I will not watch it.

[A]

Yeah, like most of the content on there.

[B]

I. I rest assured that most of

[A]

the content that you don't watch on

[B]

there, rest assured if you post it will not be watched by me, honey.

[A]

So, yeah, I have better things to

[B]

do with my time, like shove bamboo under my fingernails.

[A]

What time is it? We have our call very soon. I got a text. Poppy, Patty, I don't know.

[B]

We are. We are. Don't. Why you all trying to rush out of here?

[A]

I do have somewhere to be, actually. Where I have to go get on

[B]

the call that we're all on the same call. Yeah.

[A]

We're gonna do my car.

[B]

Yeah. Start Now I gotta do some take a hike.

[A]

Because unlike you, I shop for people in my life for the holidays. So I want to bring holiday cheer. I'm not going to be the Grinch that came to Christmas like you. I have to go finish my. My Christmas shopping.

[B]

First of all, the Grinch steals Christmas. I'm not stealing anyone's Christmas. I'm just not buying you hoes gifts. Wow.

[A]

Why do I gotta be hoes, though?

[B]

I'm talking about you specifically.

[A]

I don't want to get from you,

[B]

you and Patrick Minor, the minor of the holidays.

[A]

The whores of the holidays.

[B]

Whore, whore, Whore. As Santa Claus says.

[A]

Are you. Are you staying here for. Well, I guess if they know this is not the New Year's. Are you staying here for Christmas?

[B]

I'm gonna be here for Christmas and I think right after I'm gonna go down to Atlanta and I'll be back before the New Year because I have a show at. In Vegas at the Virgin Hotel.

[A]

Yeah, I'm coming back Christmas night too.

[B]

Yeah, Jacob says Christmas Day the best day to fly. So maybe I'll fly on Christmath Day.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

On Fismuth. We wish you a Merry Christmas.

[A]

I was thinking about going to that. Cause I don't have a gig on Chris on New Year's Eve. And Naomi and Plastique, they're like, oh, we got. You should come to Vegas to Kiki. But andy's leaving on January 1st and I won't see him for a month. So I'm gonna. He's going on a bike trip across Asia. Like white people. White people, they will. White people will do stuff.

[B]

I'm like, nigga, ride your bike down Santa Monica. So why you quite an Asian? Ride your bike. Ride your bike down Santa Monica.

[A]

So I won't be going, but they are.

[B]

Why can't Andy come to Vegas?

[A]

Because he. Cause he's hosting a sober. A sober.

[B]

You'll love the party. I'm excited.

[A]

I don't think I'll be attending because I want to get lit on New Year's Eve.

[B]

So why can't you come to come?

[A]

Because he leaves the next day. I won't be able to see him before he leaves.

[B]

You can come back. Where's Vegas? Vegas is like a. I said you weren't going to Andy park.

[A]

Yeah, but I'm gonna be going home that night.

[B]

Vegas is a four hour car ride from la.

[A]

Okay, so you think if I go to Vegas, I will be in a bitch. I'm gonna be Litty Kitty. I'll Be driving back, swerving in the desert.

[B]

Come hang out with me. I can't. I'll drive you back the next morning.

[A]

No, his flight leaves at 11am What?

[B]

Is he. Is he. How long is he gone for?

[A]

A month.

[B]

Okay, that's his choice. He decided to go for a month. I didn't decide that. Why am I being punished? I'm being punished because Annie decided to go ride bikes across the Great Wall of China. This is insane. So what does it got to do with me?

[A]

We're gonna hang out that day. I'm gonna go ask my questions. I'm gonna go to a little New Year's Eve party.

[B]

She never answered my questions, y'. All.

[A]

And then I'll see you when I get back home that evening.

[B]

You will not see me.

[A]

A hymn. I think you're right. And that's by design, honey.

[B]

If you let me know. If you don't come to my show on New Year's, if you don't hang out with me, Plastique and Naomi on New Year's, I will never speak to you again.

[A]

Is that a promise?

[B]

Promise?

[A]

Honey, we can expedite it.

[B]

Can we get it in writing? Can we get. What do you call them people who.

[A]

A notary public.

[B]

A notary public. If you do not come to this show, I will never speak to you again. All I had to do. You better get AI to do the podcast with you.

[A]

Going forward all these years, that's all I had to do. This is great.

[B]

You are so shady, Bob.

[A]

I cannot.

[B]

You're choosing a man, a white man, over me who is going to colonize China. Oh, my God. He's going to colonize the colonizers. Wow.

[A]

I said he's only Asian. You just. You just. You just assume China. This is problematic.

[B]

Oh, did you say Asia?

[A]

No, I said Asia. Oh, where's he going? He's starting in Laos.

[B]

I was just thinking about how people from Laos are la. Ocean.

[A]

Yeah. Like, Jujubee is Laotian, I believe.

[B]

Laotian. You know Jujubee's name? I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with her name.

[A]

Did you just find this out?

[B]

This is like. No, I've known her for years.

[A]

Okay. This is, like, very common drag race knowledge.

[B]

I just love that her name was Airline.

[A]

Airline, yeah.

[B]

If you could have named yourself, what would you have named yourself? You still can. I mean, you can name yourself stuff like a Dominic. How do you feel about being a Kevin?

[A]

It's fine. It's a very, very white name. Like, when people see my name on paper, they think I'm just Caucasian as Caucasian can be, you know, Kevin Burton.

[B]

You know what's funny? These. A lot of these names are not technically white names. They just kind of ended up being white names. But a lot of these names that we think are white names are actually like Middle Eastern names.

[A]

Kevin.

[B]

Like David and like Joshua and Biblical. Yeah, and. And Joseph and Mary, Matthew. They're all like Middle Eastern names that have just become like Americanized white names. And they're really not. I don't know.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I don't know the origins of Kevin.

[A]

Kevin. I think. I don't know where. Because, yeah, I don't know where, like, Scott is obviously from. Scott from. From like some British. But I don't know where Kevin is from.

[B]

I think maybe.

[A]

Maybe I think Kevin is French.

[B]

My name is. Means Christ bearer. Christopher. Bearer of Christ.

[A]

Christopher Columbus was Italian, I believe. So your name is. Probably has Italian origins. But his name was Cristobal. It wasn't Christopher. We've translated to Christopher. So maybe you're. Oh, my gosh, you should. You should change the name to Cristobal Caldwell.

[B]

I'm not interested in that. I'm not interested in that. I thought about legally changing my name to Caldwell, but I just don't want

[A]

the change all your documents and shit, girl. That's why. Okay, here's the thing. If you get married, would you change your name?

[B]

No.

[A]

Right? And I'm like, I wouldn't change it just because of the. The legalities of it.

[B]

If I was a woman, I would not change my name as a stance. It would not just be. I would be like, I'm making a stance. I am not changing my name.

[A]

My daughter would never. If I have also.

[B]

Oh, so. Oh, so you get to decide what your daughter does. So you're going to make decisions for a woman, too? So you're going to make decisions for a woman.

[A]

I'm going to impress upon my daughter the. The. The of keeping their name.

[B]

And I'm going to play this video for her, too. Having to bend the whim of Chelsea handler, Chelsea Handler Jr. I'm playing this for you. Chelsea Handler Jr. That's probably what you named her. Chelsea Handler Burton.

[A]

Also, on my. On my. On my. On my thoughts of children, if you ask me today, the answer is hell, no.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Motherfucking kids. I've been on.

[B]

I'm playing this for Chelsea, too.

[A]

I've been on a shelf. On an elf on the shelf talk.

[B]

You don't have to do that. Monet.

[A]

I know, but the fact that. But as a parent, I would feel like I would want to give my kids, like, really fun and cool experiences, and that just sounds. It is too much. This woman, the one I saw, I've seen a couple. The one everyone has seen, the one where she puts shit. Where her husband or whoever puts shit all over the fucking house with chocolate. They melted chocolate. But fucking hand prints everywhere. Shoe prints everywhere. That's crazy. This other woman, she boiled pasta, but she boiled it with Lucky Charms, and so the pasta would change colors, and she just threw it up all over her stove, all on the floor. I'm like, so after you spent all day cleaning up after these little monsters, you have to clean up after yourself for doing something for them?

[B]

No, I've softened on children. I would have a kid. These days, if someone said, you have to decide right now and you can never change your answer again, I would probably say, let's do it. Wow. But if you ask me in a month, I'll probably be like, hell to the. No. Hell to the now to the. Because also, I wouldn't want to leave my partner here to raise the kids alone. I just watched Ain't Too Proud, the Temptations musical, and there's a whole part about how Otis is.

[A]

Was it in New York?

[B]

It's in la.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

You know my friend Devin? My friend Devin's in it.

[A]

I don't know Devin.

[B]

You know Devin?

[A]

I don't think so.

[B]

Anyway, I'm gonna go see him in it. And I was just like, you be doing stuff.

[A]

You don't inviting me. That's rude. Now the tables have turned. You went to go see our queen Jinkx Pontoon on her show. You didn't take me. You went to go see Devin, your queen go ahead and Ain't too proud. And you didn't invite me. You're a nasty bitch, Regina George. You're a mean girl.

[B]

You're a mean girl. You're a mean girl. You're not faking it anymore. You're real pla. What is it? You're plastic. Hard, shiny plastic.

[A]

You know?

[B]

I mean, girls like that. That might be a very terrible paraphrase, but anyway, I want to go see it. And Otis Williams, who's basically the founder of the Temptations and the last surviving Temptation, he. The whole. The big part of how he. They wasn't in his son's life at all growing up because of work. And then his son died at 23, and he just was never part of his life gag.

[A]

And you Also hire help.

[B]

That's also. But. I know. But that's not the point. Monet, he wants to be there for his kids. Like, he wants to be there for.

[A]

I'm saying. But with someone like you. Like, you would travel a lot for work, but I think that you could be at home enough to facilitate having help and a partner and so that you're. You're here enough.

[B]

I mean, this guy had help. He's a fucking. He's got a lot of money. He's a temptation. He's doing quite well for himself. Like. Like, for example, I am thinking about,

[A]

oh, Five Heartbeats, where they were, like, a mess.

[B]

I mean, the Temptations were a mess. The tension is based off Five Heartbeats. One of them died of overdose. One of them killed themselves. Like, it was. It was a while anyway. And watching that was kind of like. I don't know. I was talking to. I'm not trying to do a thing, but whatever. I was talking to Madonna on the phone the other day, because Madonna was in la and you saw. I was on her TikTok, and then I was like, are you still here? She goes, no, Bob, I have kids. I have to go home. I have to go home. I have kids. So even Madonna's, like, going back to take care of her kids. And I was. And when I said that, when she said that, I was like, oh, yeah, you do have, like, five kids, five bits. And, like, several of them are still underage.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I think. I think Lola's the only one who's. Who's over 18. I think, actually, yeah, maybe I might have made that up, but I was like, yeah, so, you know, she even. Even people like Madonna is like, yeah, I think I have to go home and take care of my children.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And also. And watching the Temptation. Have any of you seen. Ain't too proud. It is very clearly told from the perspective of the only surviving stations. No shade to Otis Williams. But I was watching it, and at one point, Otis Williams is like, every. He was. He was letting the other Temptations have it. He's like, they was beating their wives. These niggas was smoking crack. They was doing drugs, they was drunk, they was crazy. But not me. I never did any of that. I mean, you telling me all the Temptations are smoking crack except you? You telling me you was the only temptation? Otis, comment below. Everybody tag Otis Williams. You telling me you are the only temptation? He had one line where he goes, because they did this big reunion tour. He was like, they were all backstage freebasing but not me. And he. And they're all, like, smoking. He said they're freebase, but then. Then a bong rolls. I'm like, you said freebasing. This is not. They're not smoking pot.

[A]

They're freebasing.

[B]

Freebasing is crack. You're smoking crack.

[A]

Why is it freebasing?

[B]

I. I don't know why it's called freebase. I don't smoke crack, but I know it's crack.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

I think with the spoon. No, that's heroin.

[A]

Yeah. I don't know what.

[B]

Anyway, so they're all free basing. And then they're all like, come on, Otis, smoke some crack with us. And he's like, no, I don't do that stuff. And I was like, nigga, you smoke crack? I feel like Judge Mathis. Not a little crack.

[A]

Not one rock.

[B]

Not a little bit of crack. And, like, I feel like down the line, Oda's gonna be like, all right, I smoked a little crack. I did smoke a little. I smoked a little crack. Cause he's talking about how David Ruff had beat his wife. He's going on about, I mean, everyone. He let Dennis have it. He fucking let Eddie have it. He let David Ruffin have it. He was like, they. Eddie was mean. Eddie fucking was drinking and shit.

[A]

Is Amanda Ruffin David Ruffin's daughter?

[B]

I don't know Amber.

[A]

You know what I'm talking about. The woman who has a talk show. No, I don't know her. The Amber Ruffin show is that.

[B]

But David Ruffin, the one who sings. I know you want to leave me But I refuse to let you go If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy I don't mind. Cause you mean that much to me

[A]

she has no relationship.

[B]
