Okay, you're gaining some humanity back.
Bob the Drag Queen

Bob the Drag Queen
Blossoming. You want to say blossomed already when
Monet X Change
she used me for cheap labor.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
You vomited for cheap labor. Oh, my. This is so bad, girl. Oh, my God.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was. There was the time I was obsessed with white lashes and.
Monet X Change
But what's going on with your complexion? Why is it so, like, textured?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because I put glitter. I put glitter all over my. My skin.
Monet X Change
But you gotta put glitter in, like, the certain spots.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know, girl. I just put glitter on the whole face.
Monet X Change
Also, Monae was very interested in making her body look bigger than it was. Monae was how big? The biggest. Rhinestones? The most. I will never forget when you came on those fucking. You know how I feel with those shoes. And you covered your big Uber xls in feathers. Monet. Yeah. Monet has giant feet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Giant.
Monet X Change
Small.
Bob the Drag Queen
Sounds like you would have small feet.
Monet X Change
My feet are smaller than yours slightly, but. But smaller than your boats. I put them on a shoe. I walk out of her shoes. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have to say, do you. I like. I love the paneling. It. Your room is so dark now, though.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, before, it used to be light. It is dark. I feel like you're, like, in, like, in, like, fucking Batman's lair.
Monet X Change
Batman.
Bob the Drag Queen
Joker. Why does everyone do that fucking Batman voice? Ever since. Ever since Christopher. What's his name? The man did it.
Monet X Change
Christian.
Bob the Drag Queen
Christian Bale. Everyone's like, Even Robert Pattinson was like,
Monet X Change
yeah, I'm the Batman.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm like, stop doing that.
Monet X Change
I don't like it. I. I think. Okay, who's the hottest? Batman. Ooh, I'm gonna say George Clooney. Val Kilmer was also quite hot.
Bob the Drag Queen
Val Kilmer played Batman?
Monet X Change
Yeah. Rip.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hold on.
Monet X Change
He was Batman with. With. With Uma Thurman. I think that was him.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, that was.
Monet X Change
That Clooney.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think you are.
Monet X Change
It was Val Kilmer.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah. No, Val Kilmer is the hottest one. You kidding me? Wait, he died?
Monet X Change
Yeah, like last year or maybe the year before. No, this year. Or either late last year or early this year. Val Kilmer passed away.
Jacob
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
From what?
Monet X Change
I don't know. I don't know.
Jacob
He died in April of this month, and he died from pneumonia.
Monet X Change
Had pneumonia.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow.
Monet X Change
Pneumonia.
Jacob
Respiratory failure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, no.
Jacob
And some other stuff.
Bob the Drag Queen
He looks like. You know, almost looks like Patrick Swayze.
Monet X Change
Patrick Swayze?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Like, he. He could have been into Wong Fu.
Monet X Change
Val Kilmer does not like Patrick Swayze.
Bob the Drag Queen
I see it.
Monet X Change
Val Kilmer and Patrick Swayze.
Bob the Drag Queen
I literally type in PA and everything is Val Kilmer, Patrick Swayze. That's what literally everyone is. What the search is.
Monet X Change
Well, they both. You know what it is? They both have pretty faces.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, they both have very pretty faces.
Monet X Change
Like, Val Kilmer was low key, giving. Right. Like, young Val Kilmer was kind of cunt, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God, he is cunt. Wow. Girl, he could have been. Yeah, he could have been into one. Fu. He would have gave. Yeah, girl, he would have really gave.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's pretty good for her. Are there any straight celebrities that you wish were gay?
Monet X Change
Wiz Khalifa.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not. Not for that. But just like, you wish you were part of the.
Monet X Change
Oh, not for fucking.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, no, just. You wish you're part. Because they're so dope. You like. I wish I. Oh, my God. I Wish Oprah was a big lesbian.
Monet X Change
I do believe that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian. Like with every fiber of my being. I firmly believe she's a lesbian. Genuinely?
Bob the Drag Queen
Why?
Monet X Change
Genuinely, like why? She has dyke vibes.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you think, you think Hillary Clinton is a lesbian, but she just, she won't, she can't act on it because of like her situation.
Monet X Change
Yeah, she's married. Once she's married, I don't think that a former president would want to publicly get divorced.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. How does it ever, has it ever happened?
Monet X Change
Not to my knowledge.
Bob the Drag Queen
You think Hillary Clinton is a lesbian?
Monet X Change
I, I genuinely think she's a lesbian. You don't think like, look at her,
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob.
Monet X Change
What? Jacob.
Jacob
When I was in college, I was taking a class and there was a woman in it who is like, she was in her like 40s or 50s and taking it, I don't know, for a second degree or something. And she would always talk about how when she was like a lesbian Partying in the 90s, Hillary Clinton was out
Monet X Change
in the bars with her.
Jacob
And to be fully honest, it's kind of giving like 50 year old woman taking a college course in New York at night. But like that was the story she really would die on that hill for.
Monet X Change
I believe it. I really believe she's a lesbian. I think she came out and actually do a lot of, do a lot of good.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, she got hot sauce on her bag. Swag. I'll never forgive Hillary for that. I will never forgive her going on that.
Monet X Change
Apparently she really doesn't care. Hot sauce in her bag. Apparently that's what, that's what everyone is convinced that. No, she really does care. Hot sauce in her bag. And she did not say, she did not say I have a hot sauce in my bag. Swag. She just said I carry hot sauce in my bag. She did not.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, it wasn't just that. She was on the thing and she's on there and then she pulls it out of her purse to show I.
Monet X Change
People said that she really does carry houses in her bag. Now she did live in Arkansas for a while and Southerners are known for carrying. She's not a Southern. She's from Illinois, I believe.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Bill Clinton is from Arkansas. She's not.
Monet X Change
But she lived there because she was. She's his wife and he was the governor. So she must have picked up some Southern isms because Southerners we do carry seasoning. You've seen I carry sometimes seasoning in my bag.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, that's weird. You just had fucking Bob will carry fucking popcorn seasoning and Then just go to the restaurant, put it on random
Monet X Change
shit on, not on. I put it on fries. I put the nacho cheese flavoring on my fries. Or I will take it to the movie theater with. Last time I went to the movies, I didn't have it. I was so upset with myself.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you pull up that clip really quick and play it on mute? I just want to see it. I remember it being awkward. Like, girl, what? My girl what?
Monet X Change
I think it's not far fetched that she would carry. I. If I could carry Ranch in my bag, I would.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah, it was with the Breakfast Club.
Monet X Change
I do. I think she carries House in her bag. I really do. Hillary Clinton is in great shape for a woman her age. My God, that's the one. That's the one.
Bob the Drag Queen
I remember she. That it was. I mean, maybe. Maybe she didn't pull out. I thought she.
Monet X Change
Yeah, you rewriting history.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe she did.
Monet X Change
Maybe.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what it is? I think, I think I'm confusing this audio with the. I think SNL did a sketch also of her pulling it out. And I was like, maybe that's.
Monet X Change
I just want to be clear. Yes, black people like hot sauce, but, like, hot sauce is not exclusive to black people. Like, white people use hot sauce. Yeah, I think.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who thinks that?
Monet X Change
I mean, I think that black people are probably known for being able to eat spicier food than our Caucasian counterpoint counterparts.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
But Jacob likes spicy food.
Bob the Drag Queen
Andy likes spicy food. I'll tell you, on one of my first dates, Andy cooks for me and the food is actually seasoned very nicely and tastes very good. No shade. That's not a white thing. I was like. No, I was like, Andy just look like he don't like good food. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
No, I don't. Andy looks like he eats a lot. Andy looks like he likes to eat. Andy looks like he.
Bob the Drag Queen
Everything about Andy, you think Andy's someone that. That can. That can. That will be that like, that be out here seasoning good food.
Monet X Change
And looks like Andy looks like he. Andy looks like he claps when appetizers come to the table. Andy looks like this.
Bob the Drag Queen
He does do that, actually.
Monet X Change
So. So, so I know Andy looks like he.
Bob the Drag Queen
He dabbles anything, though. That's why I'm like, he. Like, he don't care if it's seasoned well. He's gonna eat it anyway.
Monet X Change
And I gotta tell y', all, like, I know we've mentioned on the podcast before, but, like, I really can't overstate the amount of food Andy eats. It is insanely. Impressive. Like, Andy will eat his entire meal and then he will look to your plate like this. He does this. You know. You know he does this. Am I lying? Did I lie? So you're. He's scanning the room to see what he can eat off of your plate. It's ins. It's crazy. And he just never. He's never done eating.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tao does that to me.
Monet X Change
Tao has never. Tao did not do that to you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yes, he did.
Monet X Change
You met once and we. No one ate anything except me. On that. On that music, y'. All.
Bob the Drag Queen
So we're doing karaoke and Bob takes his time to do a 13 minute number on his 13 minute solo number. The gods love the man. Whatever the fuck the song is.
Monet X Change
It was called the Origin of Love and it's from Hedwig.
Bob the Drag Queen
The origin of love. Bob thinks a fucking song.
Monet X Change
It's a five minute song.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was like a ten minute song.
Monet X Change
It's not a ten minute song, girl. I'm gonna look it up right now. The Origin of love is not a 10 minute song.
Bob the Drag Queen
Child and I were supposed to know. Dan, can we play too?
Monet X Change
I think what happened was you were so. You were so unused to the spotlight not being on you for literally three seconds.
Bob the Drag Queen
Unused. I don't think you use that. You can't say it.
Monet X Change
On you. On you. The song is 5 minutes and 30 seconds long. And then you did it. And then you did a solo afterwards.
Bob the Drag Queen
That was two minutes.
Monet X Change
Was it?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll cover you.
Monet X Change
Let's see. I'll cover you. Reprise.
Bob the Drag Queen
Reprise. Maybe. Maybe 2, 247.
Monet X Change
The song is 3 minutes and 29 seconds. 3 minutes, 39 seconds.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's 2 minutes less than you.
Monet X Change
Yeah, it's 2 minutes, 120 seconds, Monet.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's a long time.
Monet X Change
I can hold my breath for that long.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you can't. For two minutes.
Monet X Change
I can't. No. I have very, very weak lung capacity.
Bob the Drag Queen
I wonder why. I wonder why.
Monet X Change
It was before I started doing that, allegedly.
Bob the Drag Queen
We won't know because you never tested it before, so we actually don't know.
Monet X Change
I have tested it before. You think I just figured out I had a poor lung capacity?
Bob the Drag Queen
Have you ever been to an allergist?
Monet X Change
No. No, but I did get. I did develop allergies in my 30s.
Bob the Drag Queen
You should go to an allergist. You'll find out what you're allergic to.
Monet X Change
It's not allergies.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not saying that's the deviated septum. I'm having a completely different conversation. I think it's from the allergist for
Monet X Change
doing cocaine with Tina Burner in the bathroom at Hardware.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because there may be something.
Monet X Change
I've never done. Cocaine in the bathroom.
Bob the Drag Queen
That you're allergic to. That you have no idea. And then you're gonna do it, and then you're gonna. And you could, like, risk your life. You should. Everyone should go to an allergist. You never know.
Monet X Change
I gotta be honest with you. I don't think I'm allergic to anything.
Bob the Drag Queen
How much you want to bet? Can we go together? Can we, please? I want. I will film it just like I'm allergic to.
Monet X Change
Allergic to you for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
You getting Botox for the first time. I'll film you going to the allergist.
Monet X Change
I'm allergic than. Way less than you.
Jacob
For sure.
Monet X Change
Way less than you.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what you think.
Monet X Change
I'm not Monet. I'm telling you, I've lived life.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm alive. I live, too. I live life, too. And you find out you're allergic to things.
Monet X Change
I don't think I'm allergic to anything.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think that's true.
Monet X Change
Like, what would I be allergic to?
Bob the Drag Queen
You could be. You could be allergic to strawberries. You could be allergic to things that you don't know. Okay, that's just one idea. There are other things. There are millions of things in the world. You could be allergic to. A certain type of plant, a fern.
Monet X Change
I am allergic to mosquitoes. But my reaction is not violent. It's just that everyone gets, like, a little bump and I get a huge amount, but it still. It's just the same amount. But you know when you get a mosquito bite and it looks like a little ant bite? Mine looked like welts. Like someone hit me with like a. Like a. Like a paddle or something.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tight like a drum?
Monet X Change
No, this tight like a drum. What? Is that what she says?
Bob the Drag Queen
Why is it drums?
Jacob
I thought it was tight like a nun. Beat it up like a drum.
Monet X Change
There it is. This tight like a nun. Beat it up like a drum. Then wipe her mouth when you done. Okay. I'm hot like Nevada get papa. I look like money you could prep my face on a dollar Beat it up. Bong, bong, bong, bongos didn't get the credit it deserved.
Bob the Drag Queen
I agree. It was a really good video and it's a good song. But it did not. It did not go well.
Monet X Change
I loved. Okay, five, four, three, two, one. Liftoff. Honey, I'm home. Shoes getting kicked off Every time I turn around a pissed off little dusty ass Need a lint brush did you
Bob the Drag Queen
see my experience with my. With my BE the other day, Bob? I had a very emotional.
Monet X Change
With your what?
Bob the Drag Queen
With my be.
Monet X Change
What is your b.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was in my pool.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. I heard about it. So it's very emotional.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't want to.
Monet X Change
I don't want to. Just. I want to apologize. That was very inconsiderate, and I would like you to. It was. It was very insensitive. I apologize. Please tell your. Your. It's like. It was like a Disney movie.
Bob the Drag Queen
It really was. It was a little bee in my pool drowning, like.
Monet X Change
Like, fighting 50 seconds to wrap it up.
Bob the Drag Queen
Fighting for his life. Swim. Swim. Swimming. I was like. So I. This is how. Like, this is how God intervenes for us sometimes, right? Like, I played God for this be. I came in with my hands, I picked it up, I brought it to the shore, and then it was there.
Monet X Change
The shore is crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was trying to, like, it was trying to get all the water off of it. There was so much water off it. So it's working, working hard, and I'm filming and filming, and then it stopped moving for like, a minute. I was like, oh, my God. It died. Then it started to move again. I was like, oh, my God. So then I was, do I give a sugar water? I didn't know what to do. And then I, like, aired it out. I was blowing on it so it can get some more air. It's getting all the water off of it. And then as I'm filming it, it spreads its wings and it just flies away. And it was just so beautiful that I got to nurse this bee back to health, to life. And it got a new. It could have drowned and died in that water, but I saved it. I was God for it.
Monet X Change

Commercial Narrator
Contacts.
Monet X Change
I think that you're, like. It doesn't seem selfless the way you talk about it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't say it was selfless.
Monet X Change
Seemed like you were doing it, like, for your. Your ego. Not for the be.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know for my ego, but
Monet X Change
the way you relay this. Like, I was God.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was God for this be,
Monet X Change
but this. It's not a Disney movie anymore. You're a villain.
Bob the Drag Queen
How am I feeling? Because I helped it out?
Monet X Change
No, like you say, like the bee owes you something.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't say the B owes me anything. That'd be. That'd be full way.
Monet X Change
And I would. If the bee would have stung you, what would have happened then?
Bob the Drag Queen
If what?
Monet X Change
If the bee would have stung you, how would you feel then?
Bob the Drag Queen
I would have been sad. But you know what? It would be justified. It was probably a defensive reaction.
Monet X Change
Okay. You're gaining some humanity back, which I appreciate, which I like very, very much.
Bob the Drag Queen
So. You know, bees are very important to our planet. People don't realize bees are really crucial to our everyday existence.
Monet X Change
I think people know that.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think a lot of people know that.
Monet X Change
If the bees are gone, we die. If honeybees disappear from the planet, if honeybees go stink, we have, like, two years to live.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I think that people. But you people will kill a bee. They will swat out a bee. You should never swat and kill bees.
Monet X Change
I would kill a bee.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why?
Monet X Change
What's the largest animal you would kill without feeling bad about it? Like, how big do you get to kill and not feel bad?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, would you kill an ant?
Monet X Change
Let's find the spot. Would you kill an ant?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Would you kill a roach?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Monet X Change
Would you kill a lizard?
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet X Change
Okay, let's go back down a little bit. Would you kill a slug?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, as a kid, I used to. As an adult. No, not anymore. As a kid, I used to have the good. In St. Lucia, we had big African slugs. I would literally just go and get salt and just pour it on and watch them melt.
Monet X Change
You're that kid from Toy Story.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was. It was. It was horrible.
Monet X Change
Okay, so a slug is.
Bob the Drag Queen
We.
Monet X Change
Is a slug. The. A spider?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, a little spider. The. Like a daddy long leg which is not a spider. It's an insect.
Monet X Change
I mean, yeah, but that long is not an insect. It is A daddy long leg is an arachnid. They have eight legs. How many legs does a daddy long leg have? They have eight legs. That is an arachnid. Do you want to apologize? Don't keep googling. Don't. Don't search until you find your bias.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah, it is. You're right. You're right. Yeah, right.
Monet X Change
No, not you're right. I want an apology.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, so how many legs do spiders have?
Monet X Change
8. They're arachnids. A dead one.
Jacob
Legs are spiders.
Bob the Drag Queen
To answer the question, daddy long legs could be a harvestman. An arachnid, not a spider.
Monet X Change
What's an arachnid but it's not an insect? Do you. Are you gonna apologize to me or what?
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, but you and j. Are you saying it's.
Monet X Change
You're saying I said a daddy long leg is an arachnid and I said
Jacob
it was a spider, but I, I probably am wrong. I, I assumed it was, but I,
Monet X Change
I, I'm trying to find. Talk about you being wrong, Monet. Don't try to find out where we're. Find out where you're wrong. Where are you wrong?
Bob the Drag Queen
These are arachnids. Like spiders and scorpions. But they are arachnids.
Monet X Change
Answer the question. Where were you wrong?
Bob the Drag Queen
Not because you're wrong. These are arachnids.
Monet X Change
I said a daddy long leg is
Bob the Drag Queen
an arachnid, but they are not spiders themselves.
Monet X Change
Monet. I said a daddy long leg is an arachnid. Ok, where are you wrong, Monet?
Bob the Drag Queen
I said. I literally said, I don't know.
Monet X Change
I said no, you said they're not spiders, they're insects. And I said they're not insects, they're arachnids. I said they have eight legs.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are arachnids insects?
Monet X Change
No, arachnids are not insects. Insects have six legs.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hold on. No, arachnids are not insects, okay?
Monet X Change
I just told you that. All insects have six legs. Unless there's been an injury or an. Or an anomaly.
Bob the Drag Queen
So what is a centipede or a millipede?
Monet X Change
I don't know. It's a bug.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait. All insects have six legs.
Monet X Change
Every insect has six legs.
Jacob
Centipedes are not insects. They belong to a different class of arthropods called Chylopoda chilopoda.
Monet X Change
All insects have six legs. Oh, wow. All insects?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. All insects.
Commercial Narrator
I did not know that.
Bob the Drag Queen
How'd you know that?
Monet X Change
You did know that. Because I told you.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I just told you.
Monet X Change
You knew before you Googled it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause I told you before this conversation. I didn't know. How did you know that? Is this something you learned in school?
Monet X Change
Yeah, we learned it in biology.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow.
Monet X Change
You never took a. Y' all didn't learn that in biology?
Bob the Drag Queen
Girl, I told you. My. My up school I went to. We have gym.
Monet X Change
So insects have six legs, and they have three parts to their body. Their bodies come in three parts. The head, the body, and then whatever the butt's called. The thorax before thorax, whereas arachnids all have eight legs.
Bob the Drag Queen
And what is. So what. What is a mantis?
Monet X Change
A praying mantis is an insect. Right. Y'. All. Y' all don't have to do a bug farm. Or. Or what do you call it when you. When you kill them? I kill them. We did kill them. And you put them in the. You kill them and then you have to, like, do a. What do you call it when you dissection? Not dissection. You, like, you display them. You had to display the bugs? No, we had to capture bugs, and then we would freeze them to death, and then we would thaw them out, and then we splay out the legs and the wings and pin them down.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is so horrible, Monae.
Monet X Change
We dissected pigs and cats.
Bob the Drag Queen
You told me this. And the girl took it home and boiled it some Crazy. I remember this story. I don't.
Monet X Change
No, she didn't boil it. She took it home. She was supposed to boil it, but her mother wouldn't let her bring it back. So we failed.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I would.
Jacob
I don't know.
Monet X Change
We almost failed. We then had to split up into other groups because our cat was taken.
Bob the Drag Queen
That story is crazy, that.
Monet X Change
That y' all didn't catch bugs.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, not fucking catching bugs.
Monet X Change
Yeah, we had to go catch bugs.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's so nasty. Like, we're, like, out in the woods.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I live. I live near the.
Bob the Drag Queen
I live.
Monet X Change
There are a lot of trees in Georgia.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, so what if you have bugs in your neighborhood, then what?
Monet X Change
There's bug everywhere. There's bugs everywhere.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't have bugs in my house.
Monet X Change
I didn't say. We didn't say in your house. I said. You didn't say find bugs in your home. You go outside and find bugs. There are bugs. There are bugs in your yard right now?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I don't have bugs here.
Monet X Change
Monet. There are 100% bugs in your yard.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have Orchid. Orchid comes. Orchid man comes to my house once a month and Sprays everything I can. Or. Yeah, I just have spider webs everywhere. He came and. Bitch. There are no. All the bugs are gone.
Monet X Change
When you have bugs in your yard, come find them. Come find them. I could easily find.
Bob the Drag Queen
Come find the bugs then.
Monet X Change
Okay. I mean. I mean, we're doing a podcast right now. So what are you going to do? So what are you going to do? Can I get some more push ups? When you're wrong, I would like for you to say that you're wrong about them being. I don't. You're not going to say it. I know you were wrong. You're not going to say it. Everyone listening knows and I'm being as, as. As ridiculous as you would have been if I would have said something like that. I'm meeting you where you're at.
Bob the Drag Queen
Illegal. That I would never. That was. That was the craziest thing I've ever heard you say.
Monet X Change
That's how I say illegal.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's illegal.
Monet X Change
I don't think I'm saying it crazy. Illegal activity.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's illegal, Bobby. It's illegal.
Monet X Change
But I'm. But my accent, Monet. It's not coffee. But we don't mind when Wendy Williams has coffee.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, and it's not.
Monet X Change
It's not.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's not earring. I say airing, but you don't let that go either.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but it sounds funny.
Bob the Drag Queen
Illegal sounds crazy.
Monet X Change
Does it sound that crazy, Jacob? Do you think illegal sounds that crazy? What sounds crazier, illegal or earrings?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't say earrings.
Monet X Change
You do say earrings.
Jacob
Wait, what, what word are you. How would you pronounce it, Monet?
Bob the Drag Queen
Illegal.
Jacob
That's illegal.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but when I say that's illegal, does that sound as crazy? Say I have a. If I said I have. If I said this.
Jacob
But can you say the word because it doesn't sound like you're saying it different, Bob.
Monet X Change
I'm saying that's illegal. That's illegal.
Jacob
Oh, you're saying illegal.
Monet X Change
Yeah, that's illegal.
Bob the Drag Queen
A. Like, like, like you say there's a L, E, G. A L. There's a legal person here.
Monet X Change
No. Okay, but if I said to someone, those are illegal earring. Those are illegal earrings. And they, they would not have. If they were like blown away by anything, it would not be me saying illegal. I said those are illegal earrings. They'd be like, hey, I'm sorry, what can you be illegal?
Jacob
Can you say she's carrying and she's carrying an illegal document.
Monet X Change
She's carrying an illegal document. She's carrying an illegal document.
Bob the Drag Queen
I will Say this. I went. I've gone 34 years and no one ever say anything about. About Air Bear Care earrings ever. Okay.
Monet X Change
Yeah. And no one ever heard anyone say that. He talks funny until he met me. But I keep it real.
Bob the Drag Queen
No one had ever said to me,
Monet X Change
I'm real because that's what I am. Now go. Now go hide, Cassidy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, God. Here we go.
Monet X Change
Disappear, ghost. You are a very old lady. You need to act your age.
Bob the Drag Queen
And not 12.
Monet X Change
And not 12. You are a very old lady. Is so crazy to say to someone, by the way, I am wearing my pear eyewear, and you all can use the code. I really love this.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm wearing pair eyewear today, too.
Monet X Change
Are you? Oh, you are? Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Anyway, I have a question for you. So years ago, we talked this on the podcast before. Years ago, Monet just texted me and was like, what? Anyway, anyways. Anyways.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you. Do you hear how short it gets now do you hear it?
Monet X Change
That's how I said it my whole life.
Bob the Drag Queen
Anyway, so I want to know, Mona, if you want.
Monet X Change
Anyway, years ago, Monet texted me and was like, I'm on my way to audition for Aladdin.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God.
Monet X Change
I was so excited for Mo. I was like, oh, my God. Why didn't you say anything? She was like, girl, it's whatever. I was like, no. This is so exciting.
Jacob
This was pre Drag Race.
Monet X Change
Pre both of us. Pre Drag Race for both of us. And I wanted to help Monet with her audition, but she did not let me help her. Monat never lets me help her with her auditions for stuff. You never let me help you.
Bob the Drag Queen
You never. You've. You've. You volunteered. Maybe only that one time.
Monet X Change
I. I also think it's weird. I want to say this right now. Life be life and is a great show. It's weird that you didn't ask me to help. Can I say it? It's weird that you went to Ben and not me. Why? I think you and Ben did a great job. It is weird.
Bob the Drag Queen
But Ben, that is whole. That is Ben's hold back. I've never seen you do a Wonder Woman show. I've seen many. Ben. One. Ben's.
Monet X Change
Yes.
Jacob
You have.
Bob the Drag Queen
What? Which one?
Monet X Change
What the fuck was crazy Black Lady?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, But.
Monet X Change
But did you watch me do once a week over at Barracuda?
Bob the Drag Queen
That's different.
Monet X Change
What about my stand up comedy?
Bob the Drag Queen
I have three specials out that Ben's Ben's Woman show. They're like. They're like. They're narrative based, so they're. They're not they're not just.
Monet X Change
Oh, what am I, just bullshit?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yours are not bullshit, but yours are. You like, you're.
Monet X Change
What am I sitting on my thumb finger myself?
Bob the Drag Queen
Crazy back lady was centered around music. There's a whole, like, music thing about it. Yourself.
Monet X Change
No, the theme was about madness. The whole thing. I had the straight jacket. I had the Hannibal Lecter thing. I had videos.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but mine wasn't as like, mine wasn't that. Mine wasn't the same type of Wonder Woman show. Ben. Ben. And mine was even reduced from what Ben does in her Wonder Woman shows.
Monet X Change
I just think it's weird that you didn't ask me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, we do a lot together, and I get your advice on a lot
Monet X Change
of things, but not performance stuff. It's like you don't trust me.
Bob the Drag Queen
What the fuck are you talking about? What is this narrative?
Monet X Change
You're like, you don't mean to help people. You know, if I find out that drag karaoke is happening and Ben's producing it, I'm never speaking to you again. Yeah, I'm not joking, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why would Ben be producing Drag Lab karaoke?
Monet X Change
Why would Ben be helping with your one woman show and not me?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because Ben. I've seen many of Ben women's shows. I wanted to do a one woman show that was similar to.
Monet X Change
You think her shows are better than mine?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. Okay, if that's what you got from that, I can't help you, babe. I can't help you.
Monet X Change
Answer it. Answer the question.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't help you, babe.
Monet X Change
Just answer the question.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think the way that Brandon has done her one of my shows, I wanted to fashion mine in a similar way. Y' all do different types of Wonder Woman shows.
Monet X Change
We do. We do.
Bob the Drag Queen
And with Aladdin, Bing's shows are great.
Monet X Change
This is no shade to Ben. This is all shade to Monet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Um, and with Aladdin, I should have got your eye. Cause to be honest, auditioning for Broadway and auditioning for how I was accustomed to auditioning for opera. It was night and day. And you know what? If I could go back in time, I would have had you help me. Cause I had no idea how to audition for Broadway shows. I probably. I walked in there looking crazy.
Monet X Change
How did you get that audition?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't remember. I don't remember.
Monet X Change
So was it back backstage?
Bob the Drag Queen
Backstage? What?
Monet X Change
Backstage is. I don't even know if backstage still exists anymore. But it was a. It was a magazine.
Jacob
It still exists for sure.
Monet X Change
It used to be a magazine. It's probably online now, but it was a magazine. That would just print out all the theater auditions, regional theater, Broadway dance companies.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think someone told me from Opera World. Like, they were like, hey, you're a great singer. You should audition for Aladdin. It's coming to Broadway. So I think I gotta connect through opera somehow.
Monet X Change
Actually, you look like you'd be the genie.
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like I would have done a really good job with the genie.
Monet X Change
You're a little young, though. You're a little young to be the genie.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you think that. Do you think that the genie could be in drag?
Monet X Change
I think it'd make less sense.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, so I had Wayne Brady on Monetox, and we were talking about. And I was like.
Monet X Change
He's like.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's like, would you want to do Broadway? I was like, yeah, I would love to do Broadway. And he's like, what are some roles? I was like, well, I think you were amazing. The Wiz. I was like, if they ever did it again, I should be the Wiz in drag. He was like, and he looks at the camera and the producer's woman's name. I forget her name. He was like, let's say her name is Suzanne. Berta. Suzanne. Berta, you. This is a brilliant idea that Monet has come up with here. We have to get her into the Wiz. And the Wiz being dragged. Can you imagine? I think I said this before. They come into Emerald City. I'm the Wiz in full drag, high cape.
Monet X Change
What are you wearing?
Bob the Drag Queen
Ooh, I'm wearing a big, big. Think, like big blonde, beautiful Mortarmouth Maybelline, Mortimon Maybelle, but crazier. Just like a confection of big blonde. Some just. And in ridiculous wig, either blonde or white, grayish color. And a big emerald green pantsuit gown. Like, you know what, the pants. What's also the gown, too.
Monet X Change
Like, the coat is the gown, but
Bob the Drag Queen
you're wearing the pants, right?
Monet X Change
Like a high, low coat.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Big, ridiculous collar.
Commercial Narrator
Just.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just over the top. The Wiz. Then they come back to Emerald City. Later on, I packed everything up. I am out of drag. I have online.
Monet X Change
That's a great idea.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right?
Monet X Change
So full T. I actually got an offer, but it just didn't work out with my schedule to direct a show at one of the biggest theaters in Georgia.
Bob the Drag Queen
What about this?
Monet X Change
One of my theater friends from my childhood is now a producer or some sort of a high up at this big theater. And I got an offer to direct the Wiz in the Atlanta area.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I come be the wizard?
Monet X Change
And I actually. You were like, I'll See if I'm. I'll see. Bob, you're giving that.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is fake news. You know what? Let's take a break. And I'm exposed. This fucking lying fucking black guy.
Monet X Change
Yeah, expose me, bitch.

Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, so this fucking lying black bitch, Bob, I think he said on a podcast. And I was like, monique, I'm doing a thing. Would you, would you come be part of my show? No dates, no show, no role.
Monet X Change
I'm so glad that cell phones log everything.
Bob the Drag Queen
Go ahead.
Monet X Change
I'm so grateful.
Bob the Drag Queen
There were no dates, there was no show, there was no role. So I'm like, I'm just going to agree to be a part of it. Just because you're doing.
Monet X Change
There are roles, they're on my back.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm just going to just going to be. Agree to doing something just because of. By virtue of it just being you.
Monet X Change
No, no, I didn't have a date. That's true.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right. Which is a big part of scheduling anything. A date.
Monet X Change
I don't know how to Google this or to search this, but it was a phone call, it wasn't a text. But I called Monet and I was like, oh, no, no, no.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I am so. Yeah, yeah. All. Uh huh.
Monet X Change
But I was trying to get Monet because I needed to get Monet to agree to do it first. I went and what happened was I called Monet and asked her she would play Evileen. And Monet said, I'd rather play the Wiz. And I said, let me figure it out. But it ended up not working out. My schedule, I was gonna be able to help this. I was gonna be able to direct. Cause I said on the podcast I wanna direct a community theater production. But then I got an actual regional theater, like a really nice regional theater reach out to me because one of my friends is a higher up over there. And he was like, girl, we're working on the list. We can offer you this position to come direct this show. And it was so exciting, but it just ended up not being able to work out. Which is so sad. Cause I really want to direct Monet in a Show my dream. I want to put Monet now. I like that debut as the Wiz. It would be so good.
Bob the Drag Queen
It would be amazing, right? It would be amazing. The Wiz and drag will be sickening.
Monet X Change
Would you like to ask me my dream roles? You selfish bitch. I feel like the b.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's the dream role you want?
Jacob
Thank you.
Monet X Change
I want to play King Herod in Jesus Christ. I genuinely think I'd be fantastic in that role.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why?
Monet X Change
Why?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
So it's a comedic role. The singing is not that hard. It's like, you are the Christ. You're the great Jesus Christ. Proves me that you're divine. Change my water into wine so you don't have to be able to sing because everyone else in just a superstar, they are singing their asses off.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you taking voice lessons? You're. I'm not. I'm trying to do a bit. Your singing has gotten better over the, like. Well, I'm not even trying to be funny.
Monet X Change
I think you've grown accustomed to my voice because.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you're singing like last time you sang. Ain't too proud. It sounded really good. Okay. It sounded good. I mean, that sounds shady, but it like. Like your tone. Like, you're, like, fixing. Like your tone has gotten better.
Monet X Change
I've not taken any singing lessons now.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought you and you and you and you and Cheryl Porter.
Monet X Change
What did she say? What is. What's one of your most famous. Noom Noom Noom Noom Noom. Noom Noom Noom. No. Is that.
Jacob
No.
Monet X Change
What's your favorite?
Bob the Drag Queen
Something like that.
Monet X Change
I did a lip sync to it on my part and whatever. Doesn't matter. But no, I've not taken the singing lessons. I was in high school.
Bob the Drag Queen
Would you, as an adult, you should.
Monet X Change
I would, yeah. If I. If I had, like, a role, I would do it. Okay. Hot take. I think I have an emcee in me. A Cabaret MC in me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never seen the show. Does the Cabaret. Does the emcee sing a lot?
Monet X Change
He does sing, but it's not great singing. It doesn't have to be. I mean, you've had people like Adam Lambert and Orgo Peck. Yeah, but he doesn't have to be a great singer. Like, Joe Gray can sing, but he's not. Joe Gray's not, like, singing, singing. Alan Cumming can sing, but he's not like.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you in New York? Oh, what are you doing after D.C. andy and I are going to go to New York just to see Cabaret. You should come.
Monet X Change
I don't know. What date is that?
Bob the Drag Queen
The sixth.
Jacob
Is Orville still gonna be in it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Orville's gonna be in it.
Monet X Change
We are going. I'm going to. Everybody hanging out with me. That's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Come on.
Jacob
Even though Rosada is playing Sally Bowles and I am obsessed with her, she's.
Monet X Change
What's the date?
Bob the Drag Queen
June 6th. The day after DC6. Anyway, we're gonna take the train up.
Monet X Change
Hold on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, Jacob, Andy and I are doing
Monet X Change
now on the 6th of June. I have a show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Damn. Where?
Monet X Change
I have. I have a panel after our DC thing in dc.
Bob the Drag Queen
Got it.
Monet X Change
So I hope you, Jacob and Andy, have a lot of fun, quite frankly. Do. What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Cancel it. No. Your boyfriend wants to hang out with you.
Monet X Change
Jacob and I hang out. We. We go. We.
Jacob
But.
Monet X Change
But I'm not going to cancel all my fans.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, Jacob, this is the question. Do you talk to Bob every day? Like, either. Either phone call or text. Do you talk to Bob every day or some type of communication?
Jacob
I. I mean, I. I would say, like, mostly, but, like, maybe. Maybe we skip one day. Like, every two weeks or every. So, for the most part, yes. But not. Not like we sometimes skip.
Monet X Change
Thank you, Jacob. Why do you believe when Jacob's the only when I say it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because you say anything. You literally try to gaslight it early in this conversation, talking about, I give Monet the date, the time. Like, no, I didn't.
Monet X Change
I need to do my own research.
Bob the Drag Queen
You did not. Bobby, you.
Monet X Change
First of all, I did not say I gave you the date and time. I did not say I gave you the date and time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you.
Monet X Change
So.
Bob the Drag Queen
Committing to something.
Monet X Change
No, I did not say I gave you the date and time. I said, you act like I gave you. You act like I was like a play someday somewhere on the. Like, pretty much. I said in Atlanta this summer, and I gave you the name of the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
You didn't ask me in the summer. You told me in Atlanta.
Monet X Change
I told you in Atlanta. I told you the summer, and I told you the name of the show. That's enough. That's all I had, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I can't agree to that.
Monet X Change
But, no, Jake and I, we don't speak every single day. We speak most days. We don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
We don't.
Monet X Change
We don't communicate every single day, though. Well, I think you and Annie talk every single day.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, every single day.
Monet X Change
I said for y', all, since Andy
Bob the Drag Queen
and I are dating, there's not been a day I've not spoken to Andy. Why do you think you see that for us?
Monet X Change
Like, that's like a negative thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is that right?
Monet X Change
That's how you took it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because you. You know, you're trying to be incendiary.
Monet X Change
That's how you took it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I see that for y'.
Monet X Change
All. Is it true?
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
That you speak every single day?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
So my assessment was. Was correct.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do. Do you and Tal speak every day?
Monet X Change
No, not every day.
Bob the Drag Queen
Most days.
Monet X Change
So I would say that my assessment.
Jacob
Do you and Nick Smith speak every day?
Monet X Change
If you was correct?
Jacob
Not.
Monet X Change
I'm speaking with Nick every day. No, no, no. I don't speak to anyone every day.
Bob the Drag Queen
I see that.
Monet X Change
There's no one in my life that I speak to every single day. Like, literally not one person.
Bob the Drag Queen
Kennedy.
Monet X Change
Not every day. No.
Bob the Drag Queen
I see that for you, because the
Monet X Change
day I needed my car, she was. No, I spoke to her earlier that day. That's not. I speak.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I don't know. The only other person that may be close to that would be Patty. I don't speak. I speak to Patty. I typically don't speak to Patty on the weekends because Patty typically has the weekends off. Obviously, because of the nature of the job there, sometimes Patty has to work on weekends and be whatever.
Monet X Change
But.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I definitely speak to Patty. Money through Friday, for sure.
Jacob
Yeah.
Monet X Change
There's no one in my life I speak to every single day. Not. Not a single person.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I can give you Andy's number. You can talk to me like me every day. Do what? I can give you Andy's number. You can speak to him every day like he does to me.
Monet X Change
He seems busy with you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I am a lot.
Monet X Change
I might speak to you more days than I don't speak to you.
Bob the Drag Queen
What the does that mean? I know what it means.
Monet X Change
Like, okay, but there are seven days in a week, so I'll say four to five times a week. A day. It may be, like, one or two days where we don't have any communication.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what I want. So. But. So we had to meet in the middle. I want to talk every day, and you don't want to talk very. So I think we mean tomorrow to six.
Monet X Change
I can communicate with you six times. Six times a week.
Bob the Drag Queen
Good.
Monet X Change
Is there anything else you. You need out of me?
Bob the Drag Queen
Good. Nigga.
Monet X Change
Jacob's listening. Here's the thing, though. Okay, so I've never been in. Okay, so I think I'm a good actor.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think so, too.
Monet X Change
I was athletic. Go, I'm still salty. And come see me angels in America. I'm still salty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you kidding me?
Monet X Change
I'm salty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you kidding me?
Monet X Change
I'M not kidding you. I'm salty.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, okay, we have to do.
Monet X Change
And your excuse isn't good.
Bob the Drag Queen
We have to do some exercise so we can let this go. We have to figure.
Monet X Change
Your excuse was that you were getting ready for All Stars. But I want to point out Naomi came and saw me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Naomi was.
Bob the Drag Queen
We are different. I was literally in my current season and getting ready for.
Monet X Change
I was.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was on some Lydia Butthole Collins shit. Naomi had. It was a few years since she had been on Drag Race. I was going through the thing for the.
Monet X Change
I just want to point out that you came to San Francisco. Right? You came to the theater.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right. But I had a show that night, and it didn't even dawn in my mind to, like, get ready early and go do that and navigate all that, because it was. I had a meet and greet at Oasis and doing the show, so I had to be there at, like, 9 o' clock. And this. So I could have seen, like, half
Monet X Change
of your show added a day. I did. I did. I did. I did eight shows a week.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. But we had a gig after that. The next day, Patty and I were on it. We were on a tour, too. We were on a tour in Northern California. We did Saturday.
Monet X Change
We do.
Bob the Drag Queen
We were doing Sacramento, San Jose, San Francisco. And the other one. There's a fourth one.
Monet X Change
Day by day by day.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, girl. That's. How many fourths were.
Monet X Change
Can you prove that to us?
Bob the Drag Queen
Go back and look.
Monet X Change
There were no days off.
Bob the Drag Queen
Anyway.
Monet X Change
What was it?
Commercial Narrator
What?
Monet X Change
What was the year?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. Was that 2018?
Monet X Change
Monet X change. 2018.
Jacob
Yeah, it was 2018.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you would look at my old calendar, but it was with Neverland, so it's deleted.
Monet X Change
You were at Oasis at Oasis nightclub, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Mm.
Monet X Change
So your date at Oasis was. Oasis. Here we go. I'd have to scroll so far back to see this.
Bob the Drag Queen
What month was it?
Jacob
You know, if you want to move on with the conversation, I can keep looking.
Monet X Change
I'm just saying that Naomi was able to come see me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. And I'm so happy for her. I was navigating my newfound fame and ferocity.
Monet X Change
So fame changed you?
Bob the Drag Queen
I couldn't yet navigate all my things that way. It was a lot.
Monet X Change
So fame. So either fame has changed you, or Naomi just better at keeping her life together than you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Of course. She absolutely was. At that time, I was new to the whole experience, so I think y'. All. This is. This is hilarious. Cause the other day, we were. I don't know what we were talking about. We Wanted a podcast. We were just hanging out, and Bob's therapist said that Bob moves on from things very easily. And I was like, who. Who does? Bob moves on with things because I have not met this girl.
Monet X Change
So you think Dr. Shelley just doesn't know how to assess her clients?
Bob the Drag Queen
Correct. Not all of her clients. You.
Monet X Change
I do move on from things very quickly, but I might feel. Monet. I'm salty. Can you acknowledge my feelings, please? Instead of defending yourself, Instead of trying to. Trying to abdicate yourself. Not abdicate. What's. What I'm looking for. Defend yourself. It's something like abdicate, but instead of trying to, like, clear your name. Can you acknowledge my feelings, please?
Bob the Drag Queen
I acknowledge your feelings.
Monet X Change
No. That's. No. Can you use words to acknowledge my feelings? What do you think I'm feeling? Why do you think I feel this way? Tell me. Communicate with me. I'm being very vulnerable with you. Use your words to communicate. Why you think I feel this way?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think we need a therapist here. I.
Monet X Change
Communicate with me.
Bob the Drag Queen
We should. We should have done one about therapy.
Monet X Change
Talk to me. Why do you think I feel this way?
Bob the Drag Queen
Hold on. This is what happens when I. In moments like this, I need a moment to not talk. You see, this is how we. We had different communication styles. Bob and Andy are both. Let's talk about it now.
Monet X Change
I'm not Andy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's talk about it now. I would do it right now. I am the person. I need a beat to remove myself so I don't get frustrated with you or the situation.
Monet X Change
Well, we don't have a beat.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, we need a beat.
Monet X Change
So you're not. You're not gonna. You're not gonna acknowledge my feelings?
Bob the Drag Queen
I need. I. I need to come back. No, I.
Monet X Change
Acknowledge me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm literally begging, yelling at me to acknowledge you. It's very hard to do it.
Monet X Change
Talk to me. You know, I need acknowledgment.
Jacob
I.
Bob the Drag Queen
You. So you sound like Uncle. Uncle Bobby from.
Jacob
From.
Bob the Drag Queen
From. From the Proud Family.
Monet X Change
How's it sound?
Bob the Drag Queen
Get out of town. You know, I. You know, I like the.
Monet X Change
But
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought you're gonna say, penny, I like your butt. I was like, from her uncle. You know, I understand how it can be frustrating that your best friend did not come see you, and you're in. In a. In a very big show in your career. I understand how frustrating that can be, and I want to acknowledge that. I see that. I see you, and I understand how that can hurt your feelings.
Monet X Change
Thank you. Do you think that you could have done. Do you think there was a way that you could have maybe figured out how to come see me. Do you think that would have been a possibility?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that could be a definite possibility at that time. It's something that I didn't consider, and it's all over my head, and I was very stressed out with work, and it's not a consideration that I could make at that time for you, Monae.
Monet X Change
That felt so nice. I never have to bring it up again.
Jacob
Now.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not true.
Monet X Change
I never have to bring it up again. That's all I wanted.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's gonna rear its ugly head in 2.5 business days.
Monet X Change
Money. I. That was what I got from you now, was all I want. I want to thank you so much for your maturity, which is quite rare, I gotta say.
Bob the Drag Queen
You see, like. See all of that? Oh, that.
Monet X Change
But it felt so nice. My God. Okay, what do you think about If I do the. If I close the curtains halfway?
Jacob
Hold on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why would you close it halfway? Oh, wow. So much brighter. Just have it peeking through.
Monet X Change
Is it less dark and ooky kooky now?
Bob the Drag Queen
It is way brighter, right, Jacob?
Monet X Change
A little bit.
Jacob
I also think that for this. For the overhead lights in the room behind them are also off for the.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are they? Maybe that's why. Yes.
Monet X Change
Do you like it with the overhead light on?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I think you need the overhead light on before it was so dark.
Monet X Change
But you know what?
Bob the Drag Queen
It matches your spirit.
Monet X Change
Don't, Monet. We just had a breakthrough.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is too lit.
Monet X Change
I feel like I'm a Walgreens.
Bob the Drag Queen
My name is Alexa Edwards, and I
Monet X Change
looked the fuck up. So now if I move it back,
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I think that's better.
Monet X Change
This part has to be great for the listeners who are just listening.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know that was not great for
Monet X Change
them, but anyway, that being said, what I was trying to get at was. And thank you for your acknowledgment. And if you need me to acknowledge anything in the last few minutes we have, I would love to acknowledge that. But think on it. What I. That was some of my best acting I've ever done. And I think it's because I was surrounded by such good actors.
Bob the Drag Queen
It pushed you to be a better actor.
Monet X Change
Like, being with good actors will make you a better actor in the scene. And I think being with bad actors will make you a worse actor. I really, really believe that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, because you. You was Steven Spinella.
Monet X Change
Steven Spinella. Randy Harrison.
Bob the Drag Queen
Randy Harrison. I'm like, how is Randy Harrison?
Monet X Change
Frankie Faradani. Oh, God, I can't remember. One's names. It's gonna. They're gonna. Danny Benstock. Ben Ishmael. Bethany Frankel. Bethany Frankel. I can't remember Bethany's last name.
Bob the Drag Queen
Frankel. Well, how would you have told me to audition for Broadway? How is that different?
Monet X Change
Well, I would. So did you do it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Monologue? I don't know. I don't think so.
Monet X Change
Was it singing? Was it dancing or singing? It was just singing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
And what song did you sing? Come on now.
Bob the Drag Queen
I sang 10 minutes ago from Cinderella
Monet X Change
for the Genie.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't know you had to sing. I thought it was to your range. I didn't know you just sing a song. What I. What I've gathered is you sing a song similar to what the role is.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Commercial Narrator
So you.
Monet X Change
So typically speaking, it is poor form to sing a song from the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right.
Monet X Change
But it's good for him to sing a song in the vein. Right, Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't do that in opera. Opera. You just sing something to show your fa.
Monet X Change
So let's say you saw your.
Bob the Drag Queen
What, your f. Your voice type.
Monet X Change
So let's say you're auditioning for Spring Awakening. You could sing a song from what, Rock of Ages. Rock of Ages, Jesus Christ Superstar.
Bob the Drag Queen
Rent.
Monet X Change
Rent. Yeah. But you would not sing a song from Spring Awakening.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right.
Monet X Change
Because then they would choose a song for you to sing in the callback.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right.
Monet X Change
There's also typing out. You ever been typed out of a show? It's a very dehumanizing process.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, it's not.
Monet X Change
I got typed out of a couple of shows. It's too bright in here. There we go.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, that's good.
Monet X Change
So you hand them your headshots. Not your resume, just your headshot. You all line up in a row and they just go down. And I go, yes. No, no. Yes, yes. No, no. Yes. No. Yes, yes. No, no, no, no.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because they wanted that perfect look for the show.
Monet X Change
It's just how you look. No resume, no nothing. Just based on how you look. And if you don't look the part, you will be typed out. You don't get to sing. They don't get to know what you've done. Nothing. This is usually done when there's a lot of people audition. They're like, we might as well just get down to nothing. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Right, right, right.
Monet X Change
So I got typed out of Ragtime.
Bob the Drag Queen
Ragtime. Came back to Broadway since you were. Oh, yeah, I remember that.
Monet X Change
It was regional.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, no. But it wasn't Broadway, though, when I was in school.
Monet X Change
But I got typed out of Ragtime. Which was, which really hurt me because I dressed like the period and everything I was wearing, not like I was in a costume, but I was like. I had him like one of those little hats, you know those hats that kind of like. Yeah, like a Kango hat.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
What kind of hat is the Kango hat?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. It's like a. It's not a paperboy hat.
Monet X Change
Tell us that, Taylor. What kind of hat is the Kango hat? A page boy hat.
Bob the Drag Queen
A page boy. When you do audition, when you do audition sides for things, do you. Do you dress up as the role you're auditioning for?
Monet X Change
No, but you can dress like in the vein. Like, like you would not. Yeah, the page wet. I would not dress like. I would not come dressed in blue harem pants and a crop jacket to be the genie. But I might also something I was taught, when you go to auditions, wear something that makes you stand out because you are more than likely auditioning people who look just like you. It's going to be a bunch of bald headed, 30something year old black guys, all, probably all gay auditioning. Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I'll just have to look straight.
Monet X Change
So what I used to do is I would. I used to wear all black and yellow suspenders to every audition. I can't, I just wear all black and yellow suspenders. They could remember me.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, say audition sides for acting roles. You're auditioning for a TV thing and they send you sides and when you, when you do your own, your own video, do you dress up as a character?
Monet X Change
I have, I did that for. I did that for Tales of the City. I like kind of judged up a little bit.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like if your character is a crackhead, are you like dark and give your arcs?
Monet X Change
I wouldn't do all that. No, no, no. And I would not audition to be a crackhead.
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet X Change
If based on what the story was
Bob the Drag Queen
like, if you're fucking Holiday Heart and you're playing Alfre Woodard's character, do you dress up as.
Monet X Change
We have to go. Should I post my Tales of City audition?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, I would love that.
Monet X Change
I have a lot of auditions on Patreon. I in my. And I in my Google Drive, I have all of my auditions still.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, also guys, I'm gonna be. I guess I don't know when it's coming out, but on a Patreon, either soon or it has come out already or coming out soon or today I'm
Monet X Change
poor, tomorrow or yesterday or in five minutes.
Jacob
I mean we can schedule this episode for it to come out. Right before whenever this thing is.
Bob the Drag Queen

So now life laughing is never will never see light of day again. Except for this recording that's going to be on Patreon that I got at Joe's Pub years ago and they have
Monet X Change
