[Bob the Drag Queen]

My name is Bob the Drag Queen

[Monet Xchange]

and I'm Monet Xchange and this is sibling rivalry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

On today's episode, we find out if drag is dangerous.

[Monet Xchange]

We talk all about AI.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And we find out what made Monet say this.

[Monet Xchange]

Because Jacob is sneaky. He ain't that sneaky. And we find out what made Bob say this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

First of all, living beyond 300 years does not sound desirable. And we found out what made AI say this.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise, it's not lapis. It's actually cerulean.

[Monet Xchange]

Ms. Akita. Evita. Just vote. Shut up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I believe it's our Akita. Our Akita. Evita just won't.

[Monet Xchange]

Are you sure? I think you're saying, like, Miss, like she's what angel is singing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The dog is called. It's a kind of dog. And the dog is an Akita.

[Monet Xchange]

Right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The dog's name is Evita. So people, someone came to her and said, our dog, Evita. So our Akita. Evita just won't shut up.

[Monet Xchange]

No. But then this is when angel is singing. And Angel. This is when angel is like Ms. Akita. Like she's. Like she's girling it like she does. Like we all gays do. Ms. Akita. Evita. Are you sorry?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no. Because angel is talking about what the woman is saying to her. So the dog's not. The dog's name isn't Akita. The dog's name is Evita. So she's saying Arikita. Evita just won't shut up. And it looks like you just googled and found out I was right.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

No, no, no.

[Monet Xchange]

I'm trying to find lyrics. But trying to find lyrics for things is like, for something. Like, this is a little hard. What's the name of the song again?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's called Today for your and Tomorrow for Me. And this is day four. Like the number four.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, Bob, I love talking to you in the morning. You're such a cute little baby.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's not really a morning for me.

[Monet Xchange]

It is the morning, Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's before noon, 10 in the morning. But I mean, like, it's late morning.

[Monet Xchange]

I was like, it's not. Wait, in the morning.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's just 8am I've been for quite some while is what I'm saying. This isn't like I didn't just roll out of bed, but I do believe it is.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh no, it's this. This. So we're both wrong. Double homicide. Who is both wrong?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Double homicide.

[Monet Xchange]

This Equita Evita. Just vote ya up. Anyway, why are we talking about the rent this morning? Which is a great musical by the way. I know that they Can't. It's way too early for it to be a revival. Oh, they did do a revival rent.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, they did. They did it with mj, with Michaela.

[Monet Xchange]

Well, they need to bring it back. I want to audition for the role of Collins.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe you need to be the change you want to see in the world now.

[Monet Xchange]

I want to be the X change I want to see in the world.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bob, last night I watched the Drag Isn't Dangerous Telethon. Did you watch it?

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, my God. I was there. It was so. Okay. So, Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah, you were there. Obviously, I watched it. You were there on the phone in your little boy drag. Were you all able to watch the performances?

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, they had monitors. We can watch it as well. So Bob and I are both managed by Producer Entertainment Group, who put this event together called the Drag Isn't Dangerous Telethon. In our management office, they have their office thing. So I drive up to the thing, Bob, to go to the telethon, and I'm like, am I at the wrong place? What I tell you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She. The production, I mean, it looked like quite the production. I mean, it had everything from, I mean, Idina, Mansell, Leslie Jones. They got Bob the Drag Queen. It was like, crazy.

[Monet Xchange]

Well, I gagged when they had Monet X changed. I said, now this has gotten crazy. But, Bob, there was like, there is security everywhere. There were. I looked like we were at something like a big awards show. I know the MTV Movie and TV Awards got canceled, and it was happening at PG last night. It was crazy. You had to drive down the road a ways, and then someone had to bring you back in. There were, like, escorts.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But, yeah, I mean, it. It looked like it was quite a production. It was. All of it. I'm so proud of Jake and David.

[Monet Xchange]

I am.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

So.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I really think that when it comes to, like, managers, y', all, there have been a lot of people in this, in the drag game, claiming they're managing, saying they're managing. But when it comes to David and Jake, these two are. I believe they've truly revolutionized what it means to be a drag entertainer.

[Monet Xchange]

I agree.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

In the mainstream.

[Monet Xchange]

I agree. I agree.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And a lot of these things, like me working with Madonna, Monet working with Nickelodeon, being on Wilding Out, Jinx being on Broadway, Alaska, having a show.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, a musical. Yeah. They really are good. Their heart and soul that they put into the Drag Isn't Dangerous Telethon is. It truly is something. And it feels special to me that they, you know, that they were so Precious about it. And they made it what it was. They truly, truly, truly. I was talking to Michael Grinspan, our agent, and he was like. I was like, michael, this is crazy. He's like. He's like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He's like.

[Monet Xchange]

He's like. You know, I gotta tell you, David and Jacob, when they put their.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Here's the thing. I gotta say it to you. Hear me out. Listen. David and Jake, when they put their minds to it, they get it done.

[Monet Xchange]

He was like, they really, really. It was really amazing. I felt so proud. We raised over $530,000 last night.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The current ticker is $537,603. And that was in, like, how we are there for like three, four hours.

[Monet Xchange]

It's four hours. We got there, baby.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's over $100,000 an hour, honey.

[Monet Xchange]

It's like, that's crazy. And all the performance donate.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you type in Drag isn't Dangerous, and you click on and you go to gofundme, you can still donate money to Drag isn't Dangerous.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, you still can. And the phone lines are so cool, too. I mean, I know it's something so simple, right? But, like, it was like one of these, like, old, like,'70s,'80s styles Telethon celebrities just on a phone, like, answering calls. Like, it was like, legit. We're literally talking to people in all over the country, all over the world. It was so, so, so, so, so cool.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did you have any particular conversation that you recall that you feel comfortable sharing?

[Monet Xchange]

I mean, I mean, I would be comfortable with all of them. They were all very silly. Like, oftentimes people, this is what's often the reaction. Shut up. Is this really Monet? I was like, it's really me, girl. Hey, thank you so much for donating tonight. Oh, my God, I love you. A lot of people love sipping rivalry. A lot of people comment on almost everyone. And a lot of people love exchange rate. People still to this day.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love the exchange rate. I was just saying to Kennedy the other day, I was. I was. I saw like a post about it and I was like, monet should bring this back. I personally think that Monet should produce it herself, which I know is hard to do, but maybe in conjunction with a fierce group like PG or, you know, someone out there in these streets needs to scoop up the exchange rate. Because it really was a great show. And I just think that it should be back on our television, computer, phone screens.

[Monet Xchange]

And today, a lot of people saw I had, like, my little performance last night. A lot of people I've been getting a lot of messages about how lovely that was, and it's all very nice. It was all great. It was my first time seeing Jinx in so long, too. I was like, oh, my God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was you with me. The. The.

[Monet Xchange]

No, no, no.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The. No, no, no, wait. Let me. Let me. Unsung voices.

[Monet Xchange]

Unsung collective close, though. Wow. Did you watch it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just told you, I watched the special last night.

[Monet Xchange]

One. I don't know. You watched the whole thing. It was four hours. I don't know if you. Bitch. I don't know what you were doing. I don't know. First of all, I tried to call you earlier that day. Like, I'm in the play.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm busy. I can't talk. Yeah, I went to go support a friend. Who's a friend.

[Monet Xchange]

Who's a friend. Quickly.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I have a friend. I have a friend on Broadway. Alex Newel. Alex Inuwo. Yeah.

[Monet Xchange]

Last I heard, he don't consider you his friend. And that's the. That's the gag of the moment. That's the gag of Mom.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We hung out before and after, so it felt friendly.

[Monet Xchange]

Okay. I. I was recently in New York City, and Bob made time to go see Alex Newell. He ain't make time to come see me. Must be nice.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anyway, I. Well, I was. It was on a Sunday. You were not here on a Sunday. And also, you were busy. You were. You were very busy. But I. I saw. I saw you singing in the clouds. I saw you up in the clouds singing. I saw you flies. I said, she really is high.

[Monet Xchange]

Isn't. Isn't blowing clouds a euphemism for a drug?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know.

[Monet Xchange]

I think it's a meth thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That sounds like it might be.

[Monet Xchange]

Not about to say I'm a meth head.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

That is correct. Blowing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Clouds is for methamphetamine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I said, I saw you in the cloud, and I say saw you blowing. Did you see me? Did you see me at my performance? Did you have any comments on my performance?

[Monet Xchange]

She said, it's the Troubadour. You know, every time I see little clips from your little troubadour show, I get so jealous I wasn't there. It looked like it was so funny. You sounded. You look great. You sounded great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, for those of you who want to know, pretty soon I will be releasing the entire Troubadour show on the Patreon as a Patreon exclusive. That includes all five of my songs for my episode. Ray Riba Sit will be performing Mikey Angelo and camera time and DJ'd by Honey Davenport. So all that we released. So if you. If you all didn't get a chance to donate to Dragons and Dangerous, which is going to benefit the aclu, you can still go. You can go to Google, type in dragons and dangerous. GoFundMe. You can also. I think you can still watch it too, if you go to dragonsandangerofund.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Yeah.

[Monet Xchange]

48 hours. 48 hours.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, I don't know. It's done by now, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, it's done. You missed it.

[Monet Xchange]

You missed it. I should have went to go see it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I'm telling you, it was with Leslie Jonesel. It was huge. I mean, I'm forgetting some. There was. There were a lot of people in, like, a lot.

[Monet Xchange]

Peppermint. My God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, Ginger Minj. Peppermint Laganj, Estrangemon, Exchange. Jinx, Monsoon.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Hello, world.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Alaska.

[Monet Xchange]

Jinx was getting ready and it was, you know, again, it's a lot going on. So she's in this dressing room with, like, a lot of people, a lot of things running around, and she's like changing in the corner. She doesn't notice I'm there. I just walked to her and I go, hello, world, I'm Jinx. And she was like. She was like, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was my reaction to Monet.

[Monet Xchange]

She was like, oh, Monet. I was like, hey, girl, do we hug? See each other in a while? We're. We're literally leaving on tour in like 48 hours for three weeks.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How often do you walk up to random drag queens and just yell racial appetites at them?

[Monet Xchange]

Pretty often.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I can confirm it's true. Can confirm.

[Monet Xchange]

Every time I see Ms. Cracker, I'm like, hey, Cracker. But that's her name. I'm not like, you know, that's her name. Hey, Cracker. That's every time I see Trinity. You know,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

you should have said, well, I walked in one Drake when I was go, how you doing, Cracker? But that's Trinity. But then when I woke up to that would have been, I don't need you.

[Monet Xchange]

You're not my writer, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But you've asked me for writing help a lot of times in the past. So now I'm not your writer. And I have.

[Monet Xchange]

And I've helped you as well. Monet, what you think about this?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, yeah, Mon. Your gain, turn your gain down. Take your little washing detergent and turn it down because you're broken.

[Monet Xchange]

Do you use Gain or do you use Tide?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. What do we use, Jacob? What's that white jug in there?

[Monet Xchange]

It looks like a hammer.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Because I have sensitive skin, so most types of regular detergent make me, like, break out with a rash. So we use arm and hammer hypoallery detergent.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I used to buy you. I used to buy gain. But I let Jacob buy the detergent now because Jacob was. Jacob was breaking out because of the detergent.

[Monet Xchange]

I had a great joker. He didn't laugh.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't hear it. Because you were talking over my boyfriend.

[Monet Xchange]

You were like, jake, Jacob, what's that white jug we use? That's a leap ginger midge out of us. Oh, a little sensitive skin, Jacob. Yeah. So, you know, growing up, like, it was like. I mean, I don't know if y'.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

All.

[Monet Xchange]

If y' all identify with this too. Like, as a kid, like, you know, in school and stuff, like, there was, like, tribalism over detergent. Did you experience this?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No.

[Monet Xchange]

Really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, not over detergent, Monet. No.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

What.

[Monet Xchange]

Wait, Jacob, Is that a what to me or what to Bob?

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Yeah, yeah, that's. That's not a. I don't. That's never been a what.

[Monet Xchange]

That is a thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And kid.

[Monet Xchange]

And some people out there are like, bitch. Yes. Okay, so if you use Tide, that means you have money and you wanted your clothes. Your clothes to be clean, like, super clean. You use gain because you just want your clothes to smell really good. And if you use things like. I forget the name of it. It was in that purple bot. And it's the. It's a really cheap one, and it had. Oh, if you use fabuloso, that means.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Fabuloso is not. They don't sell. They sell. There's a. There's a laundry detergent for fabuloso. There is, but you can come out smelling like. Like. Like a. Like a.

[Monet Xchange]

Like a.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like a. Like a car air freshener. Fabuloso is very. Is a very pungent smell.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, yeah, honey. There is a Fabuloso detergent.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. You know, I. Yeah, no, we were. There was not a. There was no. No one. No one at Mara High School or Mara Middle School was riding hard for gain or.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Or.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Or Tide. But I grew up using gain. I grew up using gain. The gain that you scoop the scoop gain. But when you scoop the gain, you pour it in. By the time it gets dry, there's still. There's still some scoops.

[Monet Xchange]

That's. Cause you were putting too much soap, Bob. You're putting too much scoop.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's Because I was putting it right on top of the clothes instead of mixing into the water, like, I just put it on, like, right on top as opposed to, like, sprinkling it around in the water. But I learned as I got older then. Then we switched to the. The liquid. And I prefer to use tide pods, but we can't use them at my home because my. My baby hasn't so skinny arm.

[Monet Xchange]

And heime doesn't make pods.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The one that we use, Jacob, has very specific needs. So we just use. I just use what's in the. What's in the cabinet.

[Monet Xchange]

There is this. There's this comedian, I think. What's her name? The Asian woman with. With the. With the short bob. Atsuko. Atsuko.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Yeah.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah. She has this whole bit about white people. They're still evolving. Like, they're just like. It's clear that these white people. The white people just have not. They are just

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

like.

[Monet Xchange]

They're just so sensitive.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Jacob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob is very sensitive to this. True. Jacob can't confirm. Jacob is very sensitive.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, she is so funny. Wait, when did you learn how to do your laundry? How old did you start doing your own laundry?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe, like, first grade, second grade, Maybe third grade?

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

All of us had maids who did our laundry for us.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob. First of all, Jacob, I know your

[Monet Xchange]

ass does not do laundry first in second grade, so don't even try it. Don't even try it, bitch. I know your ass would not do laundry for a second.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When did you go doing laundry, Jacob?

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

We did laundry collectively as a family. So my mom would do the laundry, and then we would sort the laundry together as a family into our individual piles. When I was younger, the thing that I could manage was sorting.

[Monet Xchange]

What do you mean, younger?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacobs.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

When I was. When I was, like, five and up, I would sort the socks. Everyone's socks together, because I could match the socks and I would put the socks together and I could pick out what clothing was mine from the laundry pile.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then five up to what, maybe

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

like five to 10. And then by 10, I was holding my own laundry. And then I went to a boarding school. I was doing all my laundry by myself by the time I was 14.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I was doing my. I was for sure doing all my own laundry by the time I was in third grade, because that was when we moved to Phoenix City. And we had. We had. We lived in a house, and I had a washer and dryer in our home. And my mom was like, do your own. Do you need to learn how to do your own. I also think that was. I think I started mowing the grass at way too young of an age. I think that I was nine when I was mowing the yard.

[Monet Xchange]

Mowing the grass and that just. There's like a blade. There's a blade involved. So it sounds too young, but is there a blade?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, there's a master.

[Monet Xchange]

No, I don't say there is one, but I'm saying. But you. I mean, unless you went under the thing and tried to stick your hand under there, you're fine. You know what I mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think that there are mowing accidents that happen. I don't know this, but I'm sure I feel like something happens a lot every year and I might be making this up, but I feel like I distinctively remember mowing the yard and reaching up to grab the handle of the lawnmower. No way.

[Monet Xchange]

No, you were not like this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This feels familiar. This is a.

[Monet Xchange]

This is. This is such a Bob thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No.

[Monet Xchange]

Yes, I did it.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

This.

[Monet Xchange]

This feels like something I did. That is such a Bob statement.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But it's also possible that I was just not strong enough. So I was pushing it like this from like a hard, like. Oh my God. You know what I mean? We'll talk more about my, my early years in the labor force after this break.

[Monet Xchange]

So I did.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So when did you first cut the grass?

[Monet Xchange]

Well, I started doing laundry after I moved to the states, so I was probably like 11 or 12. That's when I started doing my own laundry. And then. Grass. I didn't do grass. Cause my dad. That's when my dad was doing his bout of starting a landscaping business. So I remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because I remember. I remember I was gonna say if he's gonna lie. Cause I remember a specific conversation where you said, didn't everyone have a landscaper? Do you recall saying that on this very podcast?

[Monet Xchange]

I do. And a lot of people who live in New York cooperated with me. Like, yeah, that's normal. Because that's just a thing in New York.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, the rich ones. Monet. There's a lot of rich people in New York. There's a lot of rich people in New York City. A lot of richies.

[Monet Xchange]

Anyway, and then. So my dad had like a landscaping company, so we didn't really. We didn't have to do it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The crown queen of. Of Saint Lucia would never touch a lawnmower. You ever use a weed whacker?

[Monet Xchange]

No, but those are really cool. That's the one that has a little. Little blaze and they make that really cool sound when you do it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's like a wire.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

It's just.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's just a wire. It's not a blade.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, I thought.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, the thing that. Like that.

[Monet Xchange]

No, I'm talking about the other thing. It was like. It was like. It was like an ass seen on TV.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

1.

[Monet Xchange]

The one. It was like these like blades and you rolled it and it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think you're describing 90% of gardening tools. A blade and a noise. But I used. I used. I used a weed whacker. I used a lawnmower. I never used a riding lawnmower. And obviously was planting and flowers. Depotting flowers and putting them in the. In the. In the flower bed. Yes, I did

[Monet Xchange]

work.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. How was we supposed to get flowers in that flower bed?

[Monet Xchange]

I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The maid.

[Monet Xchange]

Julietta. Look what came in the mail for me. My Marcia X3 cosmetics. Lashes. When I tell you these are small, look at these. Oh, look at these small ass lashes. This is crazy. This has to be a true.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When I tell you that your boots came and no one cares anymore, I was like, girl, we've moved on. I mean, we as a girl, can

[Monet Xchange]

I tell you, you and your Mitchell boots, we've moved on. I wore those to the premiere of Nina West, I think. And when I tell you I was causing a scene, Bo, everyone's running up to me like, oh, my God, where did you get those? How'd you get those? The people who were working at the venue, they're like, trying to do their thing. And there was really a line of people wanting to ask me about the boots. And again, I thought, I think they're cool. I didn't think they will create such a stir. Everyone's gagged at these boots.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I saw a guy. I saw a guy with them on the streets the other day.

[Monet Xchange]

And did he look great? They're really comfortable.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, he just. He looked like he was wearing the boots. I remember being like. I remember being like, ooh, he got them boots on.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

How are they to put on and take off?

[Monet Xchange]

They're so easy to put on and take off. Literally, so easy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You said they feel like Uggs.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, they're just like Uggs. I mean, I will say you need to have, like, wide leg pants or like bell bottom pants or like boot cut jeans if you want to wear them over them. Cause they're so big.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They kind of look like they were designed by, like, AI or something. Like a computer made them.

[Monet Xchange]

A computer probably didn't make them.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I think a machine made them. Let's make it a computer. Are all machine. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are all machines computers? And are all computers machine? Like, my toaster's not a computer, but it's a machine.

[Monet Xchange]

Yes, this is true. I think it becomes a machine when it has. When it can. I don't know what makes it a little machine. Like, have you seen. Have you seen these fucking digital toasters? I'm like, this is getting too far.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's a computer. Okay, I'm gonna name something. You tell me if it's a computer. If it's a machine. Okay?

[Monet Xchange]

Okay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because I think even all computers are machines. I don't think all machines are computers.

[Monet Xchange]

I would agree with that. All computers are machines. All machines are computer. I would agree with that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Your microphone, what is that?

[Monet Xchange]

This is a machine, not a computer.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. Your headphones, machine. Cell phone, computer. Your car computer. See, I think your car is a combination of computers and machines.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, but I mean, it has. It has computer in it. Like a lot of the things that. Especially in cars today, your little venza that be singing every. Let me tell you, Bob talking about he. I be singing all the time. Bob's car literally sings every time you get in a. You revers this thing back?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, only when you back up. The. The Unsung Collective recorded a little bit of.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

That's. That's a purposeful thing. They added electric cars that have to make a noise when they back up, because when they're using electricity, it's too quiet and you could accidentally hit. Hit someone. So they're actually. It's not like a. A mechanic thing. It's like, actually something they worked into electric cars. It's like a backup warning noise.

[Monet Xchange]

Jacob will stick up for his man. Jacob will like, damn.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why not? Why not?

[Monet Xchange]

This is my man. I'm gonna stick beside him.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Stand by your man. But, yeah, when you back up and electric car goes, Monat, home run up with me. Okay, yeah. All three of us.

[Monet Xchange]

Ready?

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

I can't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We ate that up.

[Monet Xchange]

The dissonance.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We ate that. Monet, you were off. Me and Jacob, we were perfect.

[Monet Xchange]

It's too dissonant. I can't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob, we did a good job. Monet, you were off. Completely off. You should be unsung. Collect that. What do you think about AI? Are you one of those folks who's afraid of it?

[Monet Xchange]

You know, in all honesty, I was afraid of AI a little bit. I'm like, this is getting too much. And, well, because I've had this argument with Andy. I. Andy thinks that technology is going to reach a place where it will just stop. Like. Like we're going to read. Like, we're going to plateau, basically. And I was like, absolutely not. I think we're going to get to a point. I was like, just like. Because we have. Technology has developed so fast over the past hundred years, unlike it has for the past however many fucking years we've been on this planet, right? And I was like, I think that it can get even faster and it's going to get faster. And I used to scare me, and I'm like. But I'm like, what it's going to be? What it's going to be. The machines are going to destroy us. Like, whether or not I like AI or not. So I'm just going to go along for the ride. You know what I mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I think that. Not to spill Andy's tea, and you can. But Andy did share with us once that a machine does the job that his father used to do. So maybe his experience is peppered by the fact that, like, the work that his father used to do for the postal service was replaced by machines. So maybe he was kind of raised with the idea that machines are going to take our jobs. Maybe. Maybe that's what it is.

[Monet Xchange]

And I think that's why. That's what a lot of people. That's why a lot of people are scared of AI. So Andy is obsessed with this AI image generator thing because apparently it was free over the weekend. So he was like playing with it a lot. He was like. He was like, babe, I'm obsessed with this. He was like. He was like, I don't think. He's like, we don't. We. We won't even need graphic. Graphic illustrators anymore. And I was like, what do you mean? And he was sending me all these things that the AI was generating. And I was like, this is crazy. Like, this is crazy. AI is making all this stuff. And Bob, in seconds, like, you type in, I want a poster for Bob the Dragon and Monet Xchange at town hall on February, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it will make a poster in three seconds. What do you think of that? That's crazy. And it is going to make a lot of people's jobs obsolete. AI will take away a lot of jobs. AI will like, this is not a. This is not up for debate. Like, there are full hotels in New York City. I know, I mean, probably in other places in Japan that they're completely run by ripe robots. There are no humans.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, there has to be some humans somewhere, right?

[Monet Xchange]

Maybe like one or two as compared to like the probably like 200 people that used to have to work at these hotels. You know what I mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you think that there are graphic designers who are just using AI and being like, yeah, I'm designing it?

[Monet Xchange]

No, I don't think so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It'd be low key, smart.

[Monet Xchange]

Don't put that out there.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm just trying to help people get their bag. Because a lot of people. Because, you know, a lot of people in the medical industry are talking about how to use AI to as a supplement to their job as opposed to replacing their jobs. They're like, maybe the AI can do some of this menial work that I was spending hours doing. So this AI can do it quickly. It'd be like, for example, I just went to ChatGPT, which is, I think, which is like, really what started the conversation. I feel like ChatGPT really started the conversation about AI.

[Monet Xchange]

It was the first one that was like, super accessible to us. We could just go online and do it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I just typed in, describe a fight between Bob the Drag Queen and Monet X Change.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, my God. Are you gonna read it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's a little lengthy till I read the whole Thing. It's not that long. Okay, here we go.

Wit and sheer entertainment. The Queen stands side by side, victorious in their own right, having left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who witnessed their epic clash. And that. That. I. I typed that while we were talking and it produced that. It produced that while insane.

[Monet Xchange]

That's insane, Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, that is an entertaining story.

[Monet Xchange]

It is a very entertaining story. And it was pretty. Like, for everything about us that it's pulling from, that is so. That sounds so accurate as to what the actual situation would be.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. The heavy breathing was a little on the nose.

[Monet Xchange]

The high kicks were definitely on the nose for me. That was great. That is so great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet Xchange]

Are you afraid of AI?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. Because I think that I live in the world of live performances, and maybe AI will get to a point where they do.

[Monet Xchange]

AI is doing that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But you'll know it's not live. Like, you'll know. I think that the. I think when I think the. I would rather see Madonna, Beyonce on stage than go see. I would not go. I would not pay more than $100 to go see AI Beyonce or Rihanna or Taylor Swift. I would pay 30 bucks to go see. And I wouldn't go to an arena. I wouldn't wait in line. I would go to a small theater to see AI Beyonce, but I would not pay.

[Monet Xchange]

I think you say that. I think as technology develops now, like, when they do, like, you know, there's like that. ABBA does it. There's like a Tupac one, and I think a Whitney Houston one. The holograms, I think give it like 10, 15 years. That technology is going to change and you won't even be able to tell that it's AI. It's going to be.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I don't know. But I think they legally have to tell us. And I don't know. It's not Beyonce. I'll be like, that's not Beyonce. That's not Madonna. That's not Mariah Carey. And I'm not paying hundreds of dollars to watch the computer. I'm not doing that. I'm just not doing that. I will pay the money for the real deal, for the real McCoy, but I'm not paying all that money to go see a hologram dance around.

[Monet Xchange]

I think if the technology is dope,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I almost turn into a Brooklyn girl. Like, the fuck?

[Monet Xchange]

She been in New York too long, girl. She's getting real Brooklyn.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That is these Brooklyn gays and girls. That is their argument. Their argument. Monet does sometimes. Like the fuck. That's the bottle. Like the fuck.

[Monet Xchange]

And what y' all do down in Fennec City.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God, you pronounced it Fennec City. I love that.

[Monet Xchange]

I know. Bob. I'm learning from you. Finally, I'm learning from you. Let's take a break and we'll talk more about AI.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How do you know I'm not AI?

[Monet Xchange]

How do I know about AI?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How do you know I'm not AI?

[Monet Xchange]

You don't know? I know you're not AI.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How? How do you know this is not how? You know me and my sneaky little boyfriend didn't create AI model of it

[Monet Xchange]

because Jacob is sneaky. He ain't that sneaky.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wow, you think Jacob's a dumb piece of shit. How long have you thought Jacob was a dumb piece of shit?

[Monet Xchange]

What was your first experience with AI that you can remember?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe like seeing seeing depictions of it in a movie. Like seeing the movie with Robin Williams or the movie with Will Smith. Bicentennial man. And I know.

[Monet Xchange]

I think it was called AI iRobot. I robot. I Robot. Yeah. You know, I think that. I mean, it's not necessarily AI, but I remember getting this and being like, oh, my God, this is so cool. This is. I felt like it was AI and it's what

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was. I was. You just. Sorry. Say your thing.

[Monet Xchange]

As a kid when on Christmas, when my mom gave me the yak back. Did you have a yak back?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Yay. Brain's not A.I.

[Monet Xchange]

funny enough. I know it's not, but in my mind, I thought it was recorded. You record it, but then you can, like, change your voice, like really high or really low. And you can, like. I remember being like, oh, my God, this is so cool. I feel like this is like future technology.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I guess my first AI was the paperclip on Microsoft. There was a little paper on the paperclip that you could talk to and there was this little gorilla. This little gorilla. Jacob, can you Google the name of this gorilla that you would like? He would sing, Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer. True I'm half crazy all for the love of you it won't be a stylish marriage I can't afford a carriage but you'll look sweet upon seat of a bicycle built for two. Bonzi. Bonzi the gorilla. Or Bonsai, I can't remember what it is, but Bonsai the gorilla, you could. You can load him on computer and you can, like, chat with him and talk to him. That was my. That was really my first interaction with AI.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, I see him now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And you could just chat with him. He would just show up on your computer and he like, banzai button. He'd be like, hi, how are you? And you'd be like, I'm sad. He goes, I'm sorry that you're sad. And he like, respond. You can ask him anything. Oh, wow.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, I remember. I don't remember Banzai, but I do remember the paperclip. The paperclip was cool. And a lot of Microsoft. Microsoft came with it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, do you want to test some AI that we have here? So. Because I also did. I did the AI art. Is that horrible?

[Monet Xchange]

What do you mean you did AI art?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The AI art. You know, the AI art.

[Monet Xchange]

The one saying that Andy did.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I just. Well, you just. You just send a bunch of pictures of yourself and then.

[Monet Xchange]

I didn't do that thing, the one that everyone was posting and they had all these pictures of themselves.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I did. I can send you some of my pictures and you can tell what you think.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah. Let me see yours. I didn't do it. I missed the window on it because,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, they didn't shut down the program.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, I thought it was like. It was that one week, everyone. I thought it was like a thing that was going on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The app is called Lindsay. There's a lot of controversy about Lindsay and whether or not people should be using it and whether or not it was, like, ethical or whatever.

[Monet Xchange]

Ethical? Why would Ethical. I thought people.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Why?

[Monet Xchange]

Why? What are the ethics around that?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They were saying that. That Linza steals art from artists.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

so you just send a bunch of pictures of you. You just send a bunch of yourself.

[Monet Xchange]

Not Bob, not Bob with the light eyes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I mean, listen, I didn't put in requests. Some of them are doing me dirty, as you can see. Some of these are doing me quite dirty.

[Monet Xchange]

Ooh,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

like every once in a while they get your teeth all messed up. So I included a few pictures of me with hair and then every picture came out with me with hair. Like, I put like one or two pictures of me with hair. And then every picture they was like, oh, this motherfucker got hair. All hair. But then like, look at these teeth on this one. Like, what's up with my teeth? Like every once in a while it does something and it's like, that looks weird.

[Monet Xchange]

Ooh, you have the fierce underbite, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So, like, what are your thoughts on these computer generated images of me? Wow, that. Bored.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Bored.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm bored.

[Monet Xchange]

I think they look just like. The first three look just like you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And what do you think about the last one?

[Monet Xchange]

The last one looks crazy. Does not look like. It looks like. You look like you like 50 Cent. You look like Curtis Jackson.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I never, I never did any of me in drag though.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, I didn't do. Yeah, I. I wonder what that will look like. I mean, a lot of this is. Everyone was posting these and they all look pretty accurate for the most part. Some people you were like, oh, girl, it. It got you in a bad way, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I saw people who posted them as their grinder photos.

[Monet Xchange]

This isn't me too.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I was like, girl, I was like, completely inappropriate. This is. Catfishing is not the word for what this is. Part of me wants to take. Okay, so David Laff actually sent me some AI images of me in drag. I'm gonna send them to you as well. And part of me wants to get some of these outfits made.

[Monet Xchange]

Like, I wanna be like, Bob, you're stealing someone's art.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I don't know, Monet, like, what, what if, what if? Like, what if, what if? Like we're always. I don't know, just look at the fucking picture. Oh, wow.

[Monet Xchange]

The one in the red thing, the orange thing. That looks really cool. Bitch, you're boobs. Look at your tits.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Which I don't know what images David showed that gave that put these titties in for me. Cause when you go in, you have to. You have to like select like man or woman, so. Cause I also did a thing where I put in pictures of me out of drag, then I selected woman to see what it made for me. And then so when you put in photos in drag, you have to select that You're a woman. And then I think it just gives you boobs. Cause I don't have any pictures of me in this world with boobs.

[Monet Xchange]

I mean. But you do push them together, though. Like, you take whatever it is and it do be looking like boobs.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I push the girls together. I do gather the titty meat.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, you do that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I have been known to gather some titty meat in my day.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, that looks cool. Do you think that? Do you? Do you? Do you. Are you one of those people like, like, legit? Do you think that? Because there's this. I want to send you. I need to send you this video from TikTok and you have to watch it really quick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay.

[Monet Xchange]

Okay, hold on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Then I'll send you a few minutes. So this is what happens when I put in pictures of me out of drag and then I was like, I'm a woman. These are those images. Boom, I'll be six. That was me. Pictures of me out of drag and then them trying to make me a woman as opposed to pictures of me in drag. And it's like, does that make any sense what I'm saying? Also, if you're listening, this is gonna. You should go be visual on this part of the show.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

I know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is. If you're not listening, if you're not a watcher of a sibling rivalry, this might be a YouTube episode for you to enjoy.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, for sure. Damn. I can't find it. It's like this thing talking about how AI is going to progress over the years. And I was like, oh, my God, this feels scary.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I'm like, AI saying that you're going to trust AI about AI. They're going to lie to you. AI is going to tell you that we're going to be chill and sweet and kind.

[Monet Xchange]

OK? I just sent it to you on TikTok. Watch this video really quick so we can discuss. I'll watch it again too.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

What does the future of AI in humans look like in 2023, AI is just beginning to become relevant. GPT4 was introduced this year.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Damn. He said AI used to be irrelevant.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

Video analysis. 2026 search engines are replaced with AI. AGI is finally achieved in human. Jobs like books, developers, accountants, lawyers are gradually replaced by AI. 2028, AGI is commonplace in education and media. AGI is frequently producing original art, music and video content. AGI replaces teachers and revolutionizes the global education system. 2033, AGI works its way into robotics, which it makes for itself. AI is embedded into most technology now, from coffee Machines to cars and plants. AGI now automates most blue collar jobs. 2038 AI quantum computing is used at the frontier of science, making discoveries in medicine and engineering that would have taken silicon computers thousands of years to discover. AGI is making so many discoveries that humans can't keep up. It is self sufficient, making improvements to itself. We begin to recognize it as a super intelligence. 2045 ASI successfully reverses the aging process, extending human lifespans beyond 300 years. Quantum computing AI makes exponential advances in science like biotechnology, allowing the AI to make significant genetic modifications to humans. 2050 Humans live alongside ASI, which reduces the cost of everything to near zero. We reach the age of abundance. Universal basic income is established. Humans live in mostly virtual reality. 2016 the first humans begin to merge with ASI. Biological brains become more digital, uploading parts of our consciousness to the Internet. 2070 the entire connectome has been mapped. The entire human brain is able to be replicated and connected to humanoid machines. It's hard to to distinguish human from AI. 2100 few completely biological humans remain. The ones that do choose to live in AI free environments which AI designates for them. Artificial intelligence dominates the earth and looks to colonizing other star systems.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This just saying stuff. First of all, he never described what AGI was.

[Monet Xchange]

He did artificial general intelligence.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's asi?

[Monet Xchange]

It was artificial super intelligence. So again, so there's a discourse in the comments of like what's this made by AI? This is kind of like AI Describe literally what a show with us between would look like. AI is like bitch, this is what I'm about to do. Like AI is like bitch, like we need to listen to the computers. There's this whole Andy listen to this podcast. These guys, they were like, they like had. They were privy to ChatGPT or some other AI thing before. A lot of people we are because of there's some software people, whatever. And the conversation they were having with the AI, it was insane. Like the AI was like being like oh, I'm going to do this. And like it was like it would like they would ask us simple things and I'm bastard. I'm fucking it up a lot. But I'll try to send. I don't know, I'll try to find it and put it in our patreon.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nigga, are you dating a conspiracy theorist? You about to. If Andy starts buying a bunch of water, you need to start.

[Monet Xchange]

If y' all start stockpiling, it's these super smart.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you turn your house into a bunker, I'm going to be concerned anyway.

[Monet Xchange]

This, this thing, AI is telling you what it's going to do?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I don't, how do we know that's AI? That's just some person that could be some person.

[Monet Xchange]

Just like, no, it's a, I, it's like a video whatever. And I was like talking about what, what's next for AI and all of that seems plausible. Like I think technology is going to start, what you call it, thinking faster than we can, like keep up with it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I mean they already, computers already think faster than people can. And I think that there's a lot of, first of all, living beyond 300 years does not sound desirable. I think that like 70 years can feel young, can feel short. And I feel like maybe like 110 years. Who wants to live 300 years?

[Monet Xchange]

But by the way, AI is going to do it. You won't feel like that. And I think that if you go back like, bitch, back. Back in the day, life expectancy was like 35, 40. Now we've like, we've like, we've double that. I'm sorry, I'm talking about back, back, back, right, like to cave to cave people.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I agree. I think that I don't have the say, I don't have the concerns, but I'm not worried about Hal saying I'm afraid I can't do that. You know what I mean? I'm not afraid of the Space Odyssey moment quite yet, but maybe I'll be one of those folks who been like, I should have listened. Now Hal got me good. Hal got me good. I mean, I just asked AI, what is going, what the, what will AI, where will AI be in 20 years? It's kind of a long answer. It says predicting the exact state of AI technology 20 years into the future is highly speculative as it depends on various factors such as research advancements, technology, technological breakthroughs and societal factors. However, based on the current trajectory and trends in AI development, we can envision several possibilities for AI in 20 years.

[Monet Xchange]

Yeah, yeah. Because AI is like, bitch, I'm not, I learned from my, I'm not going to rat myself out. But in the back like bitch, you're done. Is what she was saying is that

[Bob the Drag Queen]

self driving cars and drones and robots may be more prevalent. It says in healthcare AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. In the next 20 years, we might witness AI systems that assist in medical diagnosis, drug discovery and personalized treatment plans. It says AI powered virtual assistants might become even more personalized and integrated into our daily lives. AI's ability to understand and interact with human language is expected to advance significantly. Then finally, it says AI is. As AI becomes more pervasive, there will likely be an increased focus on ethical considerations and responsible development. Society may establish regulations and guidelines to ensure AI systems are transparent, fair and accountable, addressing concerns such as bias, privacy and algorithmic decision making.

[Monet Xchange]

I was watching this TikTok saying that, that there's going to be this AI. They're making this AI technology. It's kind of like a what you call a hearing aid that you put in your ear that when you talk, someone from a foreign language talks to you, it translates it immediately to your ear. Now they're trying to figure out how to get you to. How do you get them to understand you. But I guess they'll have one in their ear too. So everyone would just speak in their native languages and you'll hear the translation in your life.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But then you wouldn't. But then people wouldn't learn. Maybe people wouldn't learn languages at a later.

[Monet Xchange]

I know for sure they absolutely would.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not that I speak any other languages. Not that it was fake me, because I'm clearly not learning any of the languages right now. But that could help a lot. But also, on the other hand, it could help so much. Like.

[Monet Xchange]

And that's the conundrum with AI, I think. I think a lot of AIs. Look, this is really helpful, but we're losing out on jobs, on skills that people used to learn. That's kind of the dichotomy between AI and not having AI. Wait, before. I know Jacob gave us this, but we have to do that voice thing.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

There are a couple different ones. This is a AI voice cloner. So you can give it samples of a voice and it'll make an AI clone of it. So I've done it for Bob and Monet. It's not as good as I thought it would be.

[Monet Xchange]

Okay, play Bob's like, have you seen why Jacobs is that. Have you seen Bob? Have you seen the fucking. How AI was like they were using AI to be other artists like Rihanna, Drake.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, it would be like Whitney Houston singing Emotion by Mariah Carey.

[Monet Xchange]

That's crazy. And it sounds like the. That's. That's what I'm talking about. Like, with like art. Like, that's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is wild. Yeah. You know, it's really wild when I go to chat Beach GPT and I talk about me and you. When I just type Bob and Monet, it knows who we are. I don't have to do Bob the Drag queen Monet. Change. I can just say Bob and Monet pull up in the monster automobile. Gangsta with a bad bitch that came from Sri Lanka. Yeah, I'm in that Tonka, color of Willy Wonka. You could be the king, but watch the queen conquer.

[Monet Xchange]

Is that Bob?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's clearly me.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

It's supposed to be.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean. Okay, so I would say pull up in the. Pull up. Pull up in the monster automobile. Gangster with a bad bitch that came from Sri Lanka. Yeah, I'm in that Tonka, color of Willy Wonka. You could be the king but watch the queen conquer. That still sounds like me. Is that supposed to be Monet?

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Yeah, that's. That's a different version of you.

[Monet Xchange]

Okay, I was gonna say we should have Bob do it first then, but it's too late now. Okay, let me say. I would say, did mine. Did you mind say.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can still say things. Okay. Give me something to say, and then I'll have a. I'll say it, then I'll say, give me something to say, and then I'll have a. I say it.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Uh,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

you give me a song. Just name a song.

[Monet Xchange]

A song. I was gonna say the Gettysburg Address. I got real.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can find the Gettysburg Address. Let me find it.

[Monet Xchange]

Or the I have a Dream speech.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Can we do maybe, like, an iconic Drag race quote?

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, can you.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Wait, can you do the precious.

[Monet Xchange]

The precious monologue, but without.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I can't do it with it. Cause. Yeah, because the voice thing won't do emotions.

[Orderly Meds Announcer]

Wait, no.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Cerulean. It's not blue. It's cerulean.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, the devil is Prada. That's a good one.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, let me find the. Hold on.

[Monet Xchange]

Your AI is real proper. I'm like, this nigga is not proper. This nigga is not that. AI really think you something else that you ain't.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Honey, I'm trying to find the speech here. Now.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This. All right, this. Oh, okay, I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select. Oh, I don't know. That lumpy blue sweater, for instance. Because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

All right, let's get it here stuff.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, okay, I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select. I don't Know that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

That was not a good one.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why is it cerulean? It's actually cerulean, but I do recognize that it's my voice.

[Monet Xchange]

I don't know. I just. If I just heard that, I would not think it was trying to be you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, now you say the same thing, Monet.

[Monet Xchange]

And then we'll have it. Say it after you let me. What'd you type in?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'll send it to you in the chat.

[Monet Xchange]

Oh, okay, I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. Okay, I see. You think this. This has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, Monet, that sounds like you.

[Monet Xchange]

I hear it a little bit. I hear it a little bit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would be like, monat. Why are you talking like that?

[Monet Xchange]

Wow. Now, y'. All.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, I wasn't the one that sounds like Jacob. Really?

[Monet Xchange]

This is crazy. Jacob played, and I was like that. I thought Jacob was. I thought Jacob recorded himself, and he was doing a bit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob, do your. Put your. Do you saying. Well, first, Jacob, you have to say it first.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Okay. This stuff. Okay, okay, I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise, it's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. This stuff. Oh, okay, I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select, I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you

[Bob the Drag Queen]

put on your back.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Y' all wondering if it just doesn't

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

know how to do black voices.

[Monet Xchange]

Wait, that's crazy.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

I have one more. This is a voice clone I generated of somebody.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know why was Jacobs was acting?

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Jacobs said, oh, but it's also possible because I fed it the best data, because I was doing it for myself. So I, like, sat down. I required. It has the best vocal samples from me. Jacob said, whereas for you, I just did the podcast.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob said, oh, I see you. It had breaths, intentions.

[Monet Xchange]

It had gravitas.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Okay, I'm gonna play you the same somebody else. This is somebody you both know. I want to see if this is a vocal client. I want to see if you can guess who this is. Okay, this. Oh, wait, sorry. Let me generate it.

[Monet Xchange]

I'm gonna say the one word. I was like, jacob, Jacob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Immediately. But also. Oh, oh, I see. I think he literally made Jacob go, oh, oh, Jacob.

[Monet Xchange]

Jacobs took a breath. I was like, jacob, this stuff.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, okay.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

I see.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You think is.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

This has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select. I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too serious. What you don't know is that that's.

[Monet Xchange]

Now I hear it. Now I hear it.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

Turquoise.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's not lapis.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

It's actually cerulean.

[Monet Xchange]

That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's RuPaul. Hello.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

I also did try to do Carol Channing, and it did not do well, because I think Carol Channing. Gotta hear Carol Channing's voice. First of all, it's hard to get good clips of Carol Channing just talking, because all her stuff, TV stuff, is a lot older, and her voice is just so unique. AI doesn't replicate it well.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This stuff.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Sorry, that's.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let me pull it up.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

This stuff. Oh, okay, I see. You think this has nothing to do with you.

[Monet Xchange]

You go to your closet and you select.

[RuPaul (voice clip)]

I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean. Yeah, no, I want more. I want more. I want. I want the full Carol fantasy. I want. I want the full on. Like, you know, this stuff. Oh, okay, I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select, I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't understand is that sweat is not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. Honestly, I locate that.

[Monet Xchange]

That was good. That was good. Bob, you should audition for A.I.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

so A.I. does this thing, too, where they will. Okay, so A.I. does this thing where they. It will edit your videos for you. So you go into Adobe After Effects. You have to be like, I want some B roll of me tying my shoe. Find the B roll of me tying my shoe. B roll of me walking around, and this. And it will just put it in there for you. It also will storyboard things for you. If you, like, describe the story, it'll, like, draw images and pictures.

[Monet Xchange]

So there's AI In Adobe now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Adobe After Effects has AI now, which I want to try to get into and learn. It will edit your podcast for you, Jay. You're done.

[Monet Xchange]

Yo. I like how at the beginning, Bob was like, yeah, I don't think AI is going to take people jobs, bitch. What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, it is going to get better and better as time goes on exponentially.

[Monet Xchange]

And I think not just better and better. I think exponentially. Expatitiously.

[Jacob (Assistant/Producer)]

Exponentially.

[Monet Xchange]

It's gonna. It's gonna happen. So we're not even gonna realize how, like, much it's doing and how quickly. I genuinely think so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And just to prove it to you all, this entire podcast was AI. Me and Monet did not record this.

[Monet Xchange]

The big reveal.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Have to come clean at this point. Actually, we should try to get AI we should see if there's a way to make an AI podcast and release

[Monet Xchange]

it and see if anyone even notices

[Bob the Drag Queen]

a difference one time. All right, all right. I love you so much.

[Monet Xchange]

I am very fond of you as well.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Awesome.

[Monet Xchange]

Bye.
