1. Fashion and Personal Style

The episode kicks off with an animated discussion about personal fashion choices, particularly focusing on hoodies and their functionality versus style.

• Monét X Change shares her preference for comfortable yet stylish hoodies from Minimal, emphasizing their versatility for travel and performances. “This is my travel. I always want to travel a lot because I wear the black sweatpants with it,” she explains (02:25).

• Bob the Drag Queen humorously critiques Monét’s hoodie choices, teasing her about wearing hoodies without anything underneath. “Monet does this thing where Monet will wear a hoodie and not wear anything underneath it,” he remarks (02:25).

The conversation evolves into a playful banter about house clothes versus outward-facing attire, highlighting the importance of maintaining a distinct style both on and offstage.

2. Touring and Outfit Preparation

The hosts delve into the logistics of preparing for tours, discussing the challenges of coordinating outfits that balance aesthetics with practicality.

• Monét expresses frustration over having to wear Crocs during her tour, despite having meticulously planned outfits. “I’m gonna have to wear Crocs for my tour, which is killing me,” she laments (06:35).

• Bob suggests integrating unique fashion elements, such as incorporating Mugler jeans, to elevate the overall look. This leads to an exchange about customizing footwear to match tour themes (06:54).

The trio emphasizes the necessity of adaptability in fashion to accommodate touring schedules and venue demands, underscoring the blend of creativity and resilience required in the drag industry.

3. Fan Interactions and Fan Art

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing interactions with fans, particularly the reception and handling of fan art.

• Bob shares his experiences with fans complimenting his unique Crocs, highlighting the diverse ways drag queens engage with their audience. “I have some faux Gucci Crocs and some faux Versace Crocs that I absolutely love,” he notes (07:26).

The discussion underscores the importance of fan support in sustaining a drag career, while also addressing the challenges of maintaining personal boundaries and managing public perceptions.

4. Challenges in Booking for Drag Queens

One of the central themes of the episode is the increasing difficulty for drag queens to secure bookings, attributed to the surge of contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

• Bob presents a theory that the oversaturation of Drag Race alumni has led to a competitive market, making it harder for individual queens to stand out. “There are 201 US Drag Race girls... there are over 600 Drag Race girls,” he explains (26:59).

• Monét concurs, noting that the abundance of queens has diluted the opportunities available, especially for those not in recent seasons. “I think people just have to realize... there are so many girls to go around,” she adds (32:44).

The hosts discuss strategies for maintaining relevance and securing bookings, emphasizing the need for continuous self-promotion and diversification of performance avenues beyond traditional club circuits.

5. Celebrity Encounters and Experiences

The episode features entertaining anecdotes about interactions with celebrities, blending humor with genuine experiences.

• Bob shares a story about mistaking Angela Bassett at a theater event, leading to a humorous encounter. “Is that Angela Bassett?” he asks, only to realize the mix-up later (22:02).

• The conversation touches upon misconceptions about celebrity behaviors and the expectations drag queens hold when meeting high-profile individuals. “Angela Bassett did the thing... she said, thank you,” Monet recounts (41:17).

These stories highlight the crossover appeal of drag performers and their unique positions within broader entertainment circles.

6. Smoking and Vaping Etiquette

Addressing social etiquettes, the hosts discuss the annoyances associated with vaping, especially in shared or public spaces.

• Monét voices her frustration with people vaping directly in others' faces, emphasizing the intrusive nature of the habit. “When y'all vape, they will blow your fucking vape in everyone's face,” she vents (17:04).

• Bob acknowledges the validity of these concerns and jokingly commits to being more considerate. “When I'm vaping. I will try my best not to blow it in your face,” he promises (17:29).

This segment underscores the importance of mutual respect and awareness in maintaining a comfortable environment for all.

7. Cooking and Personal Stories

Adding a personal touch, the hosts share stories about cooking and relationships, blending humor with relatable experiences.

• Monét recounts her surprise at Mateo's culinary skills, highlighting his unexpected talent in making delicious pasta. “I was like, I don't know. Mateo could cook like this,” she shares (44:11).

The episode wraps up with playful banter, where the hosts engage in lighthearted teasing and humorous exchanges.

So I'm wearing my. This, this jacket, this hoodie because it's so cold in this hotel room. It is so cold in this hotel room. I'm in New York, y'all. As y'all know, I am a born and raised in New Yorker. I love my city. I love, love, love these coast. But coming back Homebridge, it is freezing cold. It's rainy and it's cloudy. I'm. I feel so depressed. This pussy depressed. Hey, hey, wait.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What is this hoodie?

[Monet X Change]

I is everyone. So I get complimented and asked about this hoodie all the time. This is my travel. I always want to travel a lot because I wear the black sweatpants with it. It's just from a store called Minimal and it's just no Romance. They have like tour dates or something on the back. People always like, what group is that? I'm like, ma'am, I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just got my Chemical Romance. Can I say that Monet does this thing where Monet will wear a hoodie and not wear anything underneath it. Like, like, like one time me when they were out somewhere and she was like, it's so hot.

[Monet X Change]

You mean like this?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I was like, monet, take your hoodie off. She goes, I'm not wearing. I'm not wearing anything under it. I'm like, that's crazy. In, in your home is not crazy, but going out in public knowing you might have to take the hoodie off. And you were. Monet was suffering. She was suffering. Clap if you think she's a suffer. Monet suffered.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, I, I, I was also kidding. I do have a shirt under this one. Cause it's so cold. Um, but y'all remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Y'all remember that. It was that. Y'all remember that burgundy hoodie? Monet's favorite burgundy hood?

[Monet X Change]

It was my. Oh, well, for you, it was bur. It was clearly salmon.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But for you, the comment said burgundy.

[Monet X Change]

That hoodie was not burgundy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The one with all the holes, where that hoodie at? I don't.

[Monet X Change]

You know, I don't know. I think. I don't know if I lost it or I finally threw it away. I don't, I don't remember throwing it away, but I don't know where that hoodie went. I used to throw it away.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was your longest relationship.

[Monet X Change]

It really was, and it is doing me well, honey. I used to love that hoodie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You were like a Simpsons character wearing the same clothes every day.

[Monet X Change]

I love that hoodie. I threw away the. Those shorts you said I wore that. My ass is hanging out. I threw those. I think I threw those away.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, Monet. Monet tried to transform the shorts and act like she didn't. Monet had the short, Then she cut the shorts. Then, Then I, I get that it's a fashion thing. I do not like when the pockets hang out of the bottom of shorts. I think it looks. I think it looks bad, personally.

[Monet X Change]

Okay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Especially when you have things in your pockets, like your phone is just jutting out of the bottom of your shorts. I think. I personally think it looks tacky. I don't think it's a serve. I'm glad you got rid of those shorts.

[Monet X Change]

I was gonna. I don't know. Well, it's one of those things. I have so many articles of clothing, like shorts and, like, because I have specific shorts I wear at home and sweaters and stuff like that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I have a lot of clothes.

[Monet X Change]

So I had a whole bunch of, like, house shorts. So, like, I had to, like, I had to start throwing stuff away, so I gave it away. Although those shorts are probably, like, so fuck. Fuck Fast fashion, bitch. I've had those shorts for over a Decade, easily.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who did you give those shorts to? Who'd you give those threadbare shorts to?

[Monet X Change]

No, I said. I threw them away.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I thought I said give them away. My bad.

[Monet X Change]

No, no, I threw them away. Yeah. You have house clothes and, like, outside clothes. Like, do you have shorts and, like, sweaters and shirts you only wear at home?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not really. I mean, I have a couple of hoodies. I have a couple of hoodies that I only wear at home. But because they are like. Literally, they're like. They're like Sherpa, not real Sherpa. Like, Sherpa hoodies. And the inside is lined with this. And I just wouldn't wear it outside because it looks like something you would lounge in. So that's my version of a robe. Although I used to always wear the H and M robe that I still have. That blue and white. It's mostly blue with some white stripes on. H and M robe that I wore for years and years and years that I still have.

[Monet X Change]

I feel like I ever seen you wear a robe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob seen me wear the robe. It's a blue and white robe. I used to wear it. I just wear. And I get out of the shower I don't like. And I wear it sometimes in the mornings, too.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I say you must only wear it because I was like, I've seen you in many iterations of you being at home. Never seen you wear a robe at home.

[Jacob]

Didn't you get, like, a robe from M or something? Like, I thought there was, like, some tour robe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I have a. I have a. I have a Versace robe. Or not.

[Monet X Change]

Jacob said M. M?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

All right. Jacob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's what we call her. I have. I have a Versace robe that Em gave me, that I. That I wear when I'm at gigs. Like, backstage and stuff, if it's cold. So that's my. That's my travel. My backstage robe. But. And I do have Crocs that I only wear at home, but I gotta stop wearing Em because they're Santa Claus Crocs. And now it's just kind of silly.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, Crocs are silly. You know, I'm gonna have to wear Crocs for my tour, which is killing me. Cause I literally got outfits specifically made for the tour. The whole theme I was doing was like. I don't know what kind of fabric you would call. Patti and I, we like. Oh, my God. Patty and I were trying to figure out what it's called. Like, you know, like that 70s topographical psychedelic print.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, paisley.

[Monet X Change]

Not Paisley, Let me send you an example of what it is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, it's like the swirls and stuff. Like a bunch of swirls. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

I have, like, four, three different outfits in that theme in different colors, like, made and stoned for the tour. Because, you know, I thought I was gonna be able to wear heels by then, but apparently I'm not gonna be in heels until, like, beginning of February. I was a gag, so now I have to shift to wear Crocs throughout my torch. I am gagged.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Just put the. Go back to your Mugler jeans. It would look better with Mugler jeans than it will with some. With some nice. With some custom dress. So just put the.

[Monet X Change]

No, I'm gonna wear what I wore to my Joe's pub dates. It's these long pants. And the pants will go over the Crocs. I don't think you'll see the Crocs.

[Jacob]

But I'm not sure if Kodadi to stone them and make them fierce.

[Monet X Change]

I think I am gonna get them stoned, but it's still just upsetting that I can't wear the outfits that I planned for this tour. I've been looking forward to this for.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can you show Monet my. My. My stone Crocs that you got for me for Christmas?

[Jacob]

Give me one second.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I have some stone crocs. I have two pair now. I have some faux Gucci Crocs and some faux Versace Crocs that I absolutely love. And they're just so cute and. And sparkly and adorable, and I love them.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I don't think Versace or Gucci makes actual stone stone shoes. Balenciaga does.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Balenciaga's Crocs are not stoned. They're just.

[Monet X Change]

No, no, no, not the Crocs. I mean, they just make stone shoes sneakers.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

These are my. My. My little Gucci Crocs.

[Monet X Change]

This. This color doesn't seem like a color you'd wear.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I will wear it, or.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, Jacob, that's so cute. Jacob, how much were these?

[Jacob]

$150.

[Monet X Change]

Wow.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. My baby got money, honey.

[Monet X Change]

Cute.

[Jacob]

We also got a. I think.

[Monet X Change]

Was it.

[Jacob]

Wait, what was the other brand?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Gucci? No, Versace.

[Jacob]

Versace.

[Monet X Change]

I'm trying to picture the two of y'all opening gifts to each other. You and Jacob are so peculiar.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What makes us peculiar?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know. I just feel like. Well, Jacob. Anytime I've seen Jacob receive a gift, Jacob is never overly, like, excited about it. Jacob is always pretty measured of like, oh, this is very nice. Thank you so much. And I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I'm like a freak if I say a gift. I really like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm like, oh, my God.

[Monet X Change]

And you're not that type of person. No, that's not true. You're over the top.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're what? Which is am I, Am I, Am I, am I never enough or always too much?

[Monet X Change]

Girl? That is the. That is the question. That's the million dollar question.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I. When Jacob got me the Crocs, I smiled. I don't think I jumped him out. I said, oh, my God, I really love these. These are so great. I love. And there's two. And I think that was pretty much my reaction. Would you say that sounds accurate, Jacob?

[Jacob]

Yeah, I think that's an accurate assessment of what happened.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I got Jacob a white noise machine.

[Monet X Change]

And how did Jacob react?

[Jacob]

You know, I don't love Trixti Mattel's music, but I was happy with her overall.

[Monet X Change]

I was like, got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, it's this white noise machine. Thank you. It plays a bunch of different white noises. And Jacob was like, oh, I love it. Because Jacob sleeps with white noise.

[Monet X Change]

I sleep with white noise too. People who sleep in dead silence are serial killers. I don't get it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, Stab. Stab bitch.

[Monet X Change]

But do you sleep. Do you sleep in dead silence?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can sleep in dead silence. I can sleep in white. I can sleep with the TV on. I can sleep in white noise. I can sleep with no noise.

[Monet X Change]

Retro and cute.

[Jacob]

Each of these is a different white noise sound. So this is like rain, not rain. This is like.

[Monet X Change]

This is a weird one.

[Jacob]

This is unhinged. And then we have.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You can play them all at once or you can pick and you can have like a fire while there's. While it's raining outside.

[Monet X Change]

That's cute.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Have a river running while you have bowls chiming. And I know that Jacob. So when we, when we go to sleep at night, Jacob goes, what is it, Jacob? What do you say to the Google?

[Jacob]

I can say, but I don't want to trigger our listener.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You don't have to Google part. You can say the part that says.

[Jacob]

I ask it to play white noise. To play some rain noise.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. I do rain as well, Jacob. It must be a Pisces thing.

[Jacob]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I thought Jacob had like a setting because he also has one when he wants to get saucy in the bedroom. He has like a setting.

[Jacob]

Well, that's a pre made one.

[Monet X Change]

I made that myself recently when I've been fucking. I've been playing Megd Stallion's album or the one with bigger in Texas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I also fuck to absolute silence.

[Monet X Change]

I do that as well. But I. When I want music, I play. Megan's or Glorilla has been great recently and now, but, I mean, there's no one that I wanted to. To with sis in the background that's like, passionate. You know what I mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I told this. I hooked up this guy in Orlando, and he was like, can we please? When you. I said, yeah, of course. I'll play something. So I played my Vibes playlist that I. That I like to listen to sometimes, and he did not like my music. He kept being like, he. He didn't want to hear Erykah Badu. He was like. He was like, who fucks to Erykah Badu? And I was like, not.

[Monet X Change]

Not making fun of your. Your music taste.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was like, I think this is good music. And, you know, I think the song on and on was. There's. There's a few Erykah Badu songs on there. It's mostly Erykah Badu. Willow and Willow and Willow.

[Monet X Change]

I want to say Willow Pill.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Willow Pill. Yes. I hate people. No. I would have asked you Willow Smith, who I think just goes by Willow now. And. And then Infinity Song.

[Monet X Change]

Infinity Song is not sexy, though. I love Infinity Song. But to. To Infinity Song, I also feel like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sister music is passion, but it's not a lot of. I don't. I don't. I'm not a huge. I don't really know the scissors discography that well, but a lot of it is about, like, being. Isn't it about, like, unrequited love and being a side piece? And like, it's never like, I love sexy ones.

[Monet X Change]

Like, you fucked it. Like Drew Barrymore to the Weeknd.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

To the Weeknd is a side piece song.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but it's still sexy, though. The vibes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also, the song isn't to the guy is to the other girl.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, but it's still the vibes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. I'm just trying to.

[Monet X Change]

It's a sexy vibe. I love. I love how dancers talk. I love being in rehearsal dancers. And like, I just a booky, booky.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Boo bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. And it's. Then it's lean, then it's. If it's. Then it's. Then it's up, Dennis, up.

[Monet X Change]

But then. But then. But then when you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hold on. Huh? Sorry, go ahead.

[Monet X Change]

But then when you were dancers, you start doing it too. Like, you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You.

[Monet X Change]

You've been in. In a rehearsal dancers and because they all beep, boop, bop, bop, ski, ba, boop, boop. You be like, yeah, yeah. Like, you start talking like that. Like, I don't even.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't even speak. I don't speak the language.

[Monet X Change]

How am I doing this?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My favorite is a bookie.

[Monet X Change]

Bookie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A bookie bookie, boo bop.

[Monet X Change]

This one is great. This girl. This sound.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Believe in yourself.

[Monet X Change]

Kickball change and turn out of it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bend your knees. Where's your plie? Double, Double, double, double jazz walk. Coming up, Coming up. Six A plus.

[Monet X Change]

Can we.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can we. Do we.

[Monet X Change]

We're doing this when I see. Oh, we're doing this on Monday. When I see you in the streets of New York.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You. Okay? I want to be clear that in the event that I were to learn this, I know that when I show up, you will not have learned it, and that will irritate me.

[Monet X Change]

That's not true. I could do this. Let me see one more time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't say you can't do it. I want to be very clear. I think you are very capable of it. I do not think you will sit down and learn it.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I just thought about something.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're. Oh, the Diddos de los Bias girl.

[Monet X Change]

I'm a prisoner in my own body.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Me and Monet were at. Were at this party. And I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I'm just saying it sounds crazy. Monet was like, everyone keeps complimenting me on my shoes.

[Monet X Change]

It happened three times at that one party. Then it happened twice at Jacob's concert.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I think they were being kind.

[Monet X Change]

Cause they don't know they're not being kind. Mom, first of all, you. Have you not seen a crazy shoe? Bitch, I walk around here in clogs. People don't walk around here. They have zero, zero gravity shoe. Whatever they are, people walk around in crazy shoes. And in the world of mischief, the red boots and Balenciaga's crazy furry elf shoes. Like, having a shoe that looks like a surgery shoe is not that crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I think to compliment the surgery shoe is disingenuous. Because what they're. I think what they're actually saying, because I used to have this when I used to paint my nails. I said this before. I used to paint my nails, and my nails were always chipped.

[Monet X Change]

I.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They were. I was not using gel polish. I was. They were always chipped. And people always go, I love your nail. But the truth is, they don't actually love my nails. They love that I was just bold enough to paint my nails. So I Think that. So I think that maybe these people just are loved that you are bold enough to wear a completely hideous shoe.

[Monet X Change]

No, I don't think that's what it is. I also think also too, the reason why they think it's a real shoe is because most people, when they have a foot surgery, a foot accident, it's normally one shoe. So when you see one, you're like, oh, that's a turgid shoe. When you see a pair, you're like, oh, you're making a fashion choice. Like you're making this fashion choice. I bet you if I went, if somebody could tell me where I can get a white, tiny Balenciaga, if I put a Balenciaga logo at the tip of my little shoe and walk around, people would be like, oh, my God, I fucking love the new Balenciaga. Somebody sent me the link where I can get that. I will glue that shit on this shoe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I honestly, I do believe that if you put a Balenciaga on it, people would call it fashion. Which is both upsetting but also kind of hilarious, right?

[Monet X Change]

It's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, do you know who Adam Pascal is?

[Monet X Change]

Adam Pascal was Mark or Mark in the original Rent.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So when we get back, I'm gonna do my Adam Pascal impersonation for you and I want you to tell me if he think it's good.

[Jacob]

And to be clear, he was Roger.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, Roger.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Mark was Anthony Rapp.

[Monet X Change]

Anthony Rapp. Yeah. That's what I mean.

[Monet X Change]

So last night I figured really quick, what is. What is annoying about people who vape is that when y'all vape, the people who smoke cigarettes like they will, when they smoke cigarettes, they won't smoke cigarettes and blow it in your face. They will go. They will go off to the side when they think people who vape, right, y'all will blow your fucking vape in everyone's. That shit is so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're right. You're not wrong. You're valid. I will blow it in your baby's face.

[Monet X Change]

That Shit is so annoying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I will blow it in your grandmother's face on oxygen. I will.

[Monet X Change]

That shit is wild.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I won't really do that. But you know, you're right. That is a bad habit and I want, I want to check myself on that. Thank you so much for helping me be a better person. When I'm vaping. I will try my best not to blow it in your face. Thank you for helping me be a better person, Monet. But also the thing is, I don't think you see smoking because smokers always smoke outside. The other day was like, that's why I respect Patty. I was like, bitch, if Patty, could he be smoking a cigarette right here on your couch, honey?

[Monet X Change]

Ok. No, he wouldn't, he wouldn't be here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And what would you do about it? What would you do about it?

[Monet X Change]

Patty's ass out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What you gonna do? Pick him up, throw him out?

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What if he says no?

[Monet X Change]

Then Pat, first of all, that was your creative situation. That would never happen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What are you gonna do, Patty?

[Monet X Change]

So you think Patty go to someone else's home and refuse to get up and go. No, no. Patty has class in decorum.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If Patty lit up a cigarette and said, I'm not leaving, what are you gonna do about it?

[Monet X Change]

I would smash a cigarette out of his hand. I'd be like, get the fuck out of my house.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well that's assault.

[Monet X Change]

No assault. It's. No. I did not put my hands on him. I took something from.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He doesn't leave. He opens his next pack of cigarettes. Now what are you going to do?

[Monet X Change]

I'm taking the whole pack of cigarettes and crushing them in my hands.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you're stealing?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Damage of, Damage of private property.

[Monet X Change]

Uh huh. In my home. Self defense. Because what I heard is that he is that he had, he, he had threatened Andy right before that. Oh, you didn't hear it? I heard it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think that's. I don't think that smoking cigarettes in someone's house is illegal. But taking someone cigarettes in question.

[Monet X Change]

He said to angry Andy right before that he's, he's going to stab him.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Patrick would never say that, ever.

[Monet X Change]

He did. He said it to Andy and honestly.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We were all there and I think Andy said it to Patrick. That's how I think happened.

[Monet X Change]

Patrick said it first.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I want to say real quick too. I was watching one of our improv things. You are not a good improv bitch.

[Monet X Change]

You're not a good improv. I'm literally saying the thing you say. No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You always say no. You always go, no.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I have to admit, in the past, like, six or seven, it just become a big cause. I know how much it annoys you, so I will say no just to piss you off.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, the other day, I was like, oh, it's kind of cold. It's not. I said, oh, it's not the heat. It's the humidity. It's actually not hot. It's cold. I was like, I cannot stand. This is driving me crazy.

[Monet X Change]

You know, half of my passion and joys are annoying and pissing you off.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, this is my Adam Pascal impersonation. Okay? I want to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10.

[Monet X Change]

10 is, I don't really know what he sounds like. Can I hear? I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Once you hear, you'll know because you know Rent, right?

[Monet X Change]

Yes, the movie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, yeah, he's in the movie. So when you hear it, 10 is, oh, my God, is he in the room? Seven is, I know what you're doing. I can tell you're doing Adam Pascal in A. And a three would be like, I don't even know who you're doing. And one is like, this is literally what? Okay, okay, here we go. The filmmaker cannot see.

[Monet X Change]

I think you sound like any angsty rock guy from the 2000s. Somebody from Liberty.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who do you think you are barging in on me and my guitar? Little girl? Hey, the door is that away okay.

[Monet X Change]

I be okay, I know. I get who it is because of the music you're singing, but the voice is not it. That makes sense.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Give me another song. Give me another song. Jacob, shut the hell up. Jacob just went, give me another song.

[Monet X Change]

Like, that's not from Rent.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Sugar, we're going down we're going down.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Down in an earlier round Sugar, we're going down swinging I'll be your number.

[Monet X Change]

One with a bullet yeah, see, now I don't know is Roger at all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

His name is Adam, not Roger.

[Monet X Change]

Adam.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think he's in Drag the Musical. So I'm debating if I should do this impersonation for him in front of him when I go to see the movie.

[Monet X Change]

He's dragging musical right now. What role is he playing?

[Jacob]

I think I can't verify that he's the one. Stray guy in Dragon musical.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, he plays the brother.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Stray guy?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, the brother.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And I'm wondering if I should do this in front of him or. You think he'll be offended?

[Monet X Change]

I think he'd be like. I mean, I don't think he'd be offended. I think, like, Especially working with a bunch of drag queens now. I think he'll be like, good job, you know? You know, it'll give that. That kid's TikTok that he goes to celebrities. He, like, sizzle. He's like, hey, you've been high on the weekend.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I sang for him.

[Monet X Change]

For that kid.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I sang for him. I saw him at the weekend premiere, and I sang for him.

[Monet X Change]

But what did you sing for him?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Fuck the police.

[Monet X Change]

How'd you do it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The police Coming straight from the underground A young got it bad. Cause I'm brown. I just. I just did a regular.

[Monet X Change]

I want to say then you. But you should have rap. Because his thing is that he's singing, but he should, like, rap poorly.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There was something I wanted to ask you about. Oh. So last night. It's not an ask. It's a. It's a story time. So last night I went to go see Once Upon a Mattress, starring Sutton Foster, Anna Gostyer and Michael Urie, and a bevy of other people. And I. I walked through the front door, and this lady walks in front of me. I said, jacob, is that Angela Bassett?

[Monet X Change]

And she did that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is that Angela Bassett?

[Monet X Change]

And I said that joke earlier. You didn't get it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my bad. And then Jacob goes, no, that's not her. I said, I think it is her. So then we sit down, and she's sitting, like, back one row behind, and like, maybe, like, three seats over. And then I was like, no, Jacob, I think that's. I think that's Angela Bassett. So Jacob looks up Angela Bassett, and the first picture pops up was her with three people. And she was sitting with the exact three people. I mean, literally, the girl had the same hairstyle. I was like, was this yesterday? It was. And I believe it was her son, her daughter, and her husband. I'm assuming it was.

[Jacob]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it was the exact same three people sitting with Angela Bassett behind me. And then I text Monet, and I said, monet, do I go say something? Do I go say something now? I know Monet would have got it. Monet would have got a picture.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, no, that's not true. I do not ask celebrities for pictures. I've never asked celebrity for a picture money.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I've been there when you accosted Lindsay Lohan and made her take a picture with you. When you say never, what do you mean by that?

[Monet X Change]

I. I seldom do. I've. I've met some. I literally just said the other day, who did I see? I told you the other day. Oh, Teyana Taylor. And I was like, hey, I'm a huge fan. She's like, oh, my God. Thank you, sweetheart.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But. But not never, though. Not never most.

[Monet X Change]

If I see. If I see celebrities 10 times, I've asked for a picture. One time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did you put it.

[Monet X Change]

That wasn't a Costa. Jacob was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, Monet. You grabbed her by the arm.

[Monet X Change]

I did not grab her by her hand. That's a lie.

[Jacob]

What is the caption? Can you read the caption for us, Monet?

[Monet X Change]

Yes. Remember that time I cornered Lindsay Lamb for a picture that's not accosted? Bob said that I. Silky nutmeg ganacha like Molly said I would grab her by her ankle and flang her around the room.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Y'all. Lindsay Lohan's back was to the wall. She had nowhere to go. Monet stormed the Capitol.

[Monet X Change]

And excuse me if I. If I was a little hyperbolic in my tweet, because I am a comedian and I use it, and I'm a little extra sometimes. Forgive me, Jacob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So when do we know when you're being goofy and when you. When you know, it's so easy for you to be like. That was a joke. That was a joke. That part was a joke. Anyway, I was there. You okay?

[Monet X Change]

And no. Read the caption for that. Pedro Pascal asked me for a picture.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, and we're supposed to just believe.

[Monet X Change]

That he said it in the caption?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're supposed to just believe that I.

[Monet X Change]

Saw Jacob get the fucking caption for that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Then I saw Pedro Pascal at a party. He didn't ask me for a picture.

[Monet X Change]

Plus, he didn't know who you was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's not true, honey. He came up to me. But pictures weren't allowed at this party. Pictures weren't even allowed. I didn't know who he was, honey. He actually said, I saw Monet recently, and this is so much better.

[Monet X Change]

First of all, that's how I know you're lying. Because this was, like, five years ago. You just had this party. Madonna sing, like, 2. 2. A year ago. Two years ago.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm just saying what he said.

[Monet X Change]

You're lying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you're mad about it, that's on you.

[Monet X Change]

Whatever.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you're mad about Pedro Pascal's words, text them. Y'all are buddies.

[Monet X Change]

Where's your plie?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Where's your plie? Double. Double. Monet. Drag queens can't get booked. That's what the word on the street. The word on the street is these drag queens cannot get a booking to save their lives. Jake. Now, Monet said some people have spoken It. Who spoke on it? Monet.

[Monet X Change]

Jake can look him up on TikTok. I saw Luxx's thing on TikTok. I saw. I know. Kandi Muse says something about it. They have that queen in the uk. Sminty.

[Jacob]

Sminty Drop. Yep. Selena Estiddies as well.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Selena spoke about it, too. I wish I can find. We can find some of these and play them in the thing. I want. I don't want to take anyone's words and say, that's not what I said. Monet and Bobby Lyin's.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, you know, they already think we in these streets.

[Monet X Change]

They think that we're on route's play role and that's.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And every drag queen we meet swears up and down that we're going to talk about them on the podcast. And you know what? We might. So don't act crazy around me.

[Jacob]

Just to be clear, we do. We have literally talked about every single Rue girl on this podcast.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know what? Valid. Valid. Valid, Jacob. Valid.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Why am I like a witch's cackle?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So the queens are saying it's hard to get work. Now, I have a theory. I. Because I think what it is, is this is just RU Girls, because I don't know that local girls are having this problem.

[Monet X Change]

I think. I think. I think that's what they're saying. Ru girls like Selena, she did the interview. What's that kid's name? His name is, I think, Ricky. Ricky Cornish, which I love. Shout out to Ricky Cornish. Ricky Cornish be out here doing. I love chatting with him about different projects. She said. I don't know if any girls are willing to admit it, but the Rue girls are struggling out in these streets. There's an oversurge of queens and not enough gigs at the moment. It's really hard for the girls to stay above water. She was telling Pride.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So there are. There are 201 US Drag Race girls. And I think.

[Monet X Change]

Is that a fact or you're just saying the number?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I googled it today. I don't know if that includes the new season. So it might be 213, 215 or 14 girls. There's. How many girls are there?

[Monet X Change]

14.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Got it. So there might be 215 ru girls.

[Jacob]

From the US internationally, around 441. Right now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There are 441 Drag Race girls.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, additionally. Yeah, there are 441 international and 200American.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So there are six. Over 600 Drag Race girls. Yeah, over 600 Drag Race girls. So, y'all. When I entered the arena, there were no international seasons. There had only been one All Stars, and there were exactly 100 Drag Race girls. Exactly to the letter. 100 Drag Race girls. And word on the street, what I had heard is that even then it was hard for the girls from older seasons to get gigs. Now there are 600 drag race girls. 600.

[Monet X Change]

It's a lot.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I, I think that it's going to come a point where if someone's thinking to themselves, I can book a girl from season seven who maybe didn't get a high placement or doesn't do a lot on social media, or I could book plain Jane because she's going to bring the drama, she's going to bring a good look, and she's going to boost the views because she's going to probably rip off Roxy Andrews's coat. Or, or, or, or, or. Did you see the video where she tore apart someone's meet and greet picture they made her. So someone came to meet and greet, was like, I just want you to know that I love you. And I drew this picture for you. And then plane Jane took the picture in a Instagram story and she goes, oh, my God, look what someone sent me. She ripped it in half and she threw it in the trash. And then the next video she said was, I just want to be clear to y'all, all the girls are throwing your stuff away. I'm just the only one who's posting it online. And I want to say this, she's not completely wrong. I have done these tours. Now I want to be clear to you, I keep a lot of my fan. I do not keep all of it. But I. Monet knows this. I keep a lot of my fan art. Any of you who came to see me on tour, you, you took a picture of my photo gallery full of fan art. My art gallery full of fan art. It was my meet and greet on tour. A lot of girls are throwing your merch, throwing your stuff away. And I mean, a lot of y'all stuff never even leaves the dressing room. And that's just tea. So is playing Jane wrong for doing that?

[Monet X Change]

I want to say she's wrong, but I think it is rude.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It is rude to post it and to do it for a bit is rude. It's rude, but also part of me is like, is my art a piece of iconic? Is. Is the. Is the art furthered now? Like, when Banksy. When Banksy shredded that picture, it made the picture worth more money. Are you familiar with this?

[Monet X Change]

Yes, but I don't. This is Not. This is not the bank. This is not the Banksy effect. Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When Kim Kardashian ruined Marilyn Monroe's dress, the dress became more valuable. Did you know that?

[Monet X Change]

Did it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. The value of the dress determined on how many. Because it's an artifact, right? So the value of an artifact is often determined by how many people want to come see it. So the. The dress is actually owned by Ripley's. Believe it or not, Ripley's owns that dress. And after Kim Kardashian wore and went back to Ripley's, people were. It was like.

[Monet X Change]

I thought you said. I thought you were saying, like, specifically the rip made it more expensive. I was like, what?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I think that the ruining of the. The experience of the dress and the. In fact, I'll tell you more about my theory after this break. And we're back. So I think that the, The. The drama around the dress, including the fact that she damaged it, made the dress more valuable because more people came to see the dress. Like, people were like, I want to see the dress. I specific. Some people were like, I want to see how bad the damage was to the dress. How much did the wagon ruin the dress?

[Monet X Change]

Well, I don't think people are doing this for this person's fan art of, Of. Of playing Jane in her. In her fantastic plant plastic outfit. I don't think. I don't think that's going to happen here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're probably right about that.

[Monet X Change]

To what. To your point of there being so many rude girls? I think that, like, I think you just have to realize.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it is rude. You're right. It is rude. I want to be clear. I don't think it was fierce that she did that.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, yeah, it's really rude with the, well drying up and girls are like, there are. Yes, there are a lot of gay bars, but you're like, you can't expect to, like, work the bar circuit, like, all the time, right? You can't expect to be going out to these bars every year or every two years because there are so many girls to go around. And of course, bars are going to lean towards girls who want newer seasons because they want to entice the fans. I was reading something that someone said on Twitter and this, this. This person was saying, I think they live in Croatia or somewhere or maybe on Patreon. They were saying, like, back, you know, back in the day, you know, they would, like, they would pay. They would buy a ticket and travel, like, two hours to go see a girl because there were so few girls like this Is like, they were taking, like, five, even, like, six years ago. Like, they turn around. Season 10, season 11, there were so few girls. And even by season 10 or 11, it was a pretty. It was a lot of girls. I mean, to me. And then they were saying they would buy. They would pay that ticket, get the hotel, and go do that because they saw a girl, like, came to that side of the. To that neck of the woods once or twice a year. Now it's like every week. They're like, I can't afford to go every week. So they really. They get. They have to really pick and choose who they're gonna support, when they're gonna support them, because it happens so frequently now. And that's just. That's just the nature of the beast.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

To those of you in Croatia who feel like you don't see enough ru. Girls, just know that I will be in Zagreb, Croatia, for two shows. I think they're already sold out, though. But I might be also. I'm gonna be all over Europe. So if you want to get on the train, I specifically need help in Paris, Warsaw, and there's one more Paris, Warsaw, and one more place. I'll figure it out in a second. But. Oh, and Poland. Where am I going in Poland?

[Monet X Change]

Warsaw is Poland.

[Jacob]

Warsaw, Poland.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, then. It was. It was Germany. It was. It was a place in Germany. Where's the place? I'm going to Germany. Not Berlin. Berlin's doing well. It's the other Berlin. Stop. It's the other Germany. Stop. It is Cologne. No, Cologne. Cologne.

[Monet X Change]

I love Cologne. I had great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know what is Cologne? Italy? No. Cologne.

[Monet X Change]

Cologne is in Germany. Great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's Cologne.

[Monet X Change]

It has that really big cathedral in the center town everybody talks about.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So if you want to come to Cologne, Warsaw or Cologne, Warsaw or Paris, I would love to see you all there.

[Monet X Change]

Like, hey, Bob. Das is good. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Great to see you.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Yeah. And, like, even to someone like the uk, the UK has so many queens, right? Has a lot of.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

In the uk.

[Monet X Change]

So small, so tiny. It's such a tiny town. So it's like, how can they. How can you keep up with the amount of girls over there? And, like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And half of them live in London.

[Monet X Change]

Huh?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And half of them probably live in London.

[Monet X Change]

Exactly. So, like, I get it. It's like, it's a lot mirrors, but. But lux. Let me try to find luck. I'm gonna get luxes, and we're gonna play a little bit of it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob. Jacob can find luxes. Why? You can still talk to me.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Jacob. I don't know. It was on her live. Someone posted it about her, though, so you gotta find it. She was out of drag in her drag room with the pink wall behind her, talking about this. I saw it on TikTok, and she was basically saying, like, girls. She was basically saying, like, if you. For the girls who are working, they're putting the work. She was like, I'm here. I'm doing my show. End of my show. I'm in a show on, like, Broadway. She's like, I'm, like, seeking out other opportunities.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Lux is in drag.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, she's in drag, the musical work. She was like, I'm seeking out other opportunities. Because I was like, you know, I knew that this would come. I knew that, you know, the bars would dry up for. Dry up a little bit. I knew that the work wasn't forever, so I put the time in and auditioned and try to make other opportunities happen so I could, like, find other works. I can keep on working.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I think that some rude girls think that when they get Drag Race, it's about to be the. It's about to be the meal ticket, or it's about to be the. It's about to be gangbusters. But also a lot of the people who are getting work are just literally making their own work.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Yeah, I think. I think. I think. Cause people back in the day, right, like, seasons, like, I feel like seasons like 4 through 8, 4 through 9, some would say, like, Drag Race was. It was like a guaranteed, like, constant for. For. Not for everyone, obviously, but for most. For the popular girls. And girls who were just a little less than popular. Like, it was. You saw them in clubs doing a lot of things all the time. And people. So. And I think people thought that that's what it was. That was everyone's experience. Some girls just a little more than others. I think. Some drag. Some girls get cast on the show and they think, oh, this is an instant meal ticket. I'm gonna be working forever, forever, every day, doing five club for the rest of my career. And I said, that's just not. That's just not how the business works. I always say the real work happens after the race. The real race is after you finish the show. That's when you really have to work. Like, that's when you see people like Mistress Isabelle Brooks, right? She's like. She has a YouTube channel. She's making content every week. She has, like, two, like, parties at two different, like, clubs. Like one in Florida, I think, one in Houston that she's like Foster. Like, she puts energy and time into creating these nights. Like, she's, like, working hard to create work for herself.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, take someone like dawn, for example. Dawn did a pivot to streaming, and she's quite successful. Can I tell you something? Can I tell you something that might be petty?

[Monet X Change]

What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know if it is or not, but we were talking about. We were talking about Lux, and I don't know if this is petty or not, but I want to show you all something. So Lux was mentioning that she saw RuPaul's shoes for sale that she wore during the supermodel video. The pleased that she wore the supermodel video on online. She's like, but I probably won't get him. And then I went and got him.

[Monet X Change]

Are you gonna give them to her?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. Now, there's a chance that this is just an old player pleasers, and someone just wrote RuPaul's name on it. There's a chance that I just got scammed and bamboozled.

[Monet X Change]

Just ask Rude. Text him. Do you want.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I got blocked.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I'll text him. Just send me a picture of him. I'll ask him.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I don't. I don't want Invader private. She blocked me for a reason, you know, she blocked my number. Wait, what'd you say?

[Monet X Change]

Jacob, how much did you. How much were they?

[Jacob]

What size are they?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

These are a. There's no size on them, but I could wear them.

[Monet X Change]

I think the size is an under, please. Is an under the shoe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But these are old shoes, girl. These shoes are. If these are the shoes, they are literally like 30 years old and they fit you. I could wear them. It's given. It's a little shrimp and biscuit, but I could fit them.

[Monet X Change]

Really? Ru has smaller feet than you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I think it's shrimp and biscuit for Ru, too. I think it's a biscuit basket. You know?

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I do have those shoes, and, you know, I'm just going to choose to believe that those are the shoes. That's my. I'm. That's my. That's my belief. It feels better to believe that those are the shoes.

[Monet X Change]

You wore black shoes with that red outfit. If it's a model work.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, he wore a black shoe with a different outfit when he was in with something else. I think he wore red shoes with that outfit.

[Monet X Change]

Right. I'm about to say. Wait, I'm about to say, girl, I think Jake. Jacob, did you find the Lux video?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. When he's playing basketball and he's wearing the shoes.

[Jacob]

The issue is I found the video that was going around on TikTok got deleted. So I am looking at a Reddit post that was talking about the video, but the video is no longer there. But it seems like the main thing she was saying is that it's kind of transitioned from up to a model. More like America's Next. Sorry, America's Next Top Model. Or like another show like that doesn't guarantee you success, but you can still use it by making it working hard. Yeah, people were debating whether or not that was true or not in the comment, but that was, I think, the gist of what she was saying. But with that being said, I have not watched this video. I have not been able to find it. So take that with a grain of salt.

[Monet X Change]

No, she did say that that was a big part of it, like, because, you know, I often said too, like, Drag Race is one of the few shows out there, like reality competition shows out there, that you can make a career like from the show. Right? Because they have all these people that go on Survivor and Big Brother. None of them are like touring recording artists, like, you see that comes out that come out of Drag Race. I think to Lux's point.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, except Housewives. The Housewives do tour and do shows and stuff.

[Monet X Change]

Recently though it's recent. It's not, it's. It's not a Drag Race. Have been doing it probably from like season three.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, it's not. It's not recent. We have the Countess who has her show out there. Nene Leakes was doing stand up comedy for a hot minute. It's not particularly recent for, I wanna.

[Monet X Change]

Say, in the past five years.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay.

[Monet X Change]

Like, Countess and Friends was birthed like six or seven years ago.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. I don't have all the information on it. I mean, y'all. I was trying to tell y'all about the shoes. Cause I found the shoes in the video. But we changed subjects so fast while I was in the middle of talking about the shoes, but. And now I can't. I don't know how to send the picture to the thing. You ever save a picture on your computer and the picture just vanishes? Like you saved it and it is.

[Monet X Change]

I want to always save it to desktop. Always Command shift three. Always.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Girl, this picture is somewhere on this computer. I, I could not tell you where this video, where this picture is to save my life. Now I'm going, now I'm using my phone. But I'm pretty sure it's the, it's the shoe that she wore when she's, like, playing basketball and she's looking kind of French and she's wearing that, like, striped shirt.

[Monet X Change]

I haven't seen a video in so long ago. I couldn't tell you anything about that, to be honest.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you don't like RuPaul?

[Monet X Change]

Hate him.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You think RuPaul's garbage?

[Monet X Change]

Correct. Basura.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Your own. There it is. I sent the picture. It's that shoe. Allegedly. That's the shoe.

[Monet X Change]

Angela Bassett did the thing. Viola Davis, the woman.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Kang, also. Yeah. To jump back, I did say hi to Angela Bassett, and she was very lovely, and she smiled and she went about her business. She said, thank you.

[Monet X Change]

Is she tall?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No work. She looks tall, though, right?

[Monet X Change]

She has tall energy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, she might have been a little taller than Jacob, which is not a particularly impressive feat.

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So she looks. She might be like, five, six, five, seven, maybe.

[Monet X Change]

I don't know. She had a daughter. Oh, that's her daughter.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She is five, four. Five, four. Yeah, she does. It's possible.

[Jacob]

She was wearing heels when we saw her, though.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, she gives up. She has way bigger energy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, she gives very tall energy. I always thought. I always thought she should have been Storm.

[Monet X Change]

For sure. She. I wasn't saying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But now she's in the mcu. She's already. Now she done made it to the mcu.

[Monet X Change]

Angela Bassett. Where was I going? I was going somewhere. You fucked me up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Lux. Gigs, shoes, Supermodel.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, no, it's about Angela Bassett. Angela Bassett.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Angela Bassett. Is she tall?

[Jacob]

Her height?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She said, hello.

[Jacob]

Person, Energy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She said, thank. I said, thank you.

[Jacob]

Black Panther.

[Monet X Change]

It's gone. It's gone. It's gone.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Storm.

[Monet X Change]

Say Storm one more fucking time. Angela.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Gomelaje.

[Monet X Change]

No, it's gone. Both of y'all. Leave me alone.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Leave you alone? Like, forever?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Please. Yeah. If you gonna fucking quote me, quote me right or guess who the fuck I'm gonna say guess me right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A prediction isn't a quote.

[Monet X Change]

Guess me right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nigga, please don't use that kind of language with me.

[Monet X Change]

And what the fuck are you gonna do about it? You'll see. Leave. End the podcast. Bye.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You'll see what I'll do. Put it that way, you'll see what I'll do.

[Monet X Change]

I have to say, being in New York, though, my favorite thing is going to a bodega and getting a bacon, egg and cheese and a bag of Fritos. The twisty barbecue Mac and egg and cheese. A fucking bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant. I cannot wait to get that later. I am excited to do that later.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bacon, egg, and cheese. On a what? On a roll?

[Monet X Change]

Croissant. We talk about this 19 times on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The podcast, and I believe in the croissant time, too. But New Yorkers, I was like, no one gets on a croissant. Some New Yorkers are like, on a croissant, it's on a roll. I'm like, no, it's on a croissant.

[Monet X Change]

That's true. That's some crusty bitches from the Bronx that want the fucking dry ass rolls. And what's a fucking roll? Rolls are fucking. Either you're getting on a croissant, or if you feel like a real fat bitch, you're getting on a hero.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When you go to France or you around a French person, when they see you make a sandwich out of a croissant, they literally can't fathom what. Why. When they're like. They were like. They were like a croissant into a sandwich. Yeah, you just cut it open. Oh, no, no, no. You know, cut it open. I was like, yeah, girl. You cut it open and then you put the meat in there and then you grill it. Grill it. No, no. I'm like, girl, this is insane.

[Monet X Change]

You ever seen those. Those videos of those women who. Those women who are dating Italian men on TikTok and they're making like. They were like, making. Making pasta for my Italian husband, and they do something like, they boil the water and they take the noodles and they. And, like, the spaghetti.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

They're like, like, why do you do these?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I asked Mateo. They were putting on, and Mateo's like, no, that is real. I was like. I was like, this must be like, no, no, no. It's a thing. If I broke.

[Monet X Change]

With Mateo, I'm doing that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Just Mateo, like, if I broke spaghetti in front of my family, they'd all be like, what's going on here?

[Monet X Change]

I can't. I did say I went to Mateo's house the other day. He made me this pasta in, like, five minutes. It was so fucking good. I was like, I don't know. Mateo could cook like this. Like, he literally.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

He has a cookbook coming out.

[Monet X Change]

I know, but I didn't know. But for all the years I know Mateo because I only knew Mateo to be eating fucking grilled chicken from the deli by you and burgers every three minutes when his fucking timer went off. I never knew Mateo to be, like, making indulgent meals like, he cooked. So I go to his house, he boils the pasta there, and then he like, makes this sauce, this white, clear sauce. Clear this white sauce in, like two minutes. And it was. I was literally licking the bowl. It was so good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, Mateo cooking. Mateo cooking pasta from scratch is like a big. It's like a. I would say it's a. It's a pretty big. I would say the biggest parts of Matteo's personality are comedy, art, and cooking.

[Monet X Change]

Comedy legend. Art theater.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, club legend. Art theater.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, club club.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who was club? You remember who club is?

[Monet X Change]

Club was Aja.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Peppermint.

[Monet X Change]

Peppermint.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, no, no.

[Monet X Change]

You don't even know.

[Jacob]

Club is aja.

[Monet X Change]

Thank you. Legend was Peppermint.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Peppermint. Who's Art?

[Monet X Change]

Asha Velour in theater. Alexis Mitchell.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Subway fish.

[Monet X Change]

So who is peppermint legend? But someone is missing.

[Jacob]

No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Club legend. Art, theater. Klatt.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, clap. We are. Ooh, is it New York? We are new Clap.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What are you laughing at? Can you do any of the verses from it?

[Monet X Change]

No. Not even. Glad to hear. Not even a word. I'm guessing. I'm guessing each one at least said the word, the letter of the acronym in it. I'm guessing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why don't you support your sisters?

[Monet X Change]

Cause I don't like any of them.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Interesting.

[Monet X Change]

That's why.

[Jacob]

Can you do any of them?

[Monet X Change]

Why don't we do a season. A season 10 one?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What did Jacob say?

[Jacob]

Can you do any verses from Klatt?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, of course.

[Monet X Change]

He gonna do the whole thing. Why don't we do a season 10 one?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. Maybe it didn't go to Mitch in time. I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

Yuha. Aquaria. Cracker. Dusty Monet. I don't know what I was. I would have been. I would have been off O. Dusty would have been Dots.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, oh, for what?

[Monet X Change]

Opera.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, we have opera, and then we have Aquarius. Fashion.

[Monet X Change]

Opera. Fashion. Dots.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Dots. Okay, so we're at O, D, O.

[Monet X Change]

F, F, O, N. Fod.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Fod. Whatever.

[Monet X Change]

Cracker is a writer.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nothing. She's comedy, okay?

[Monet X Change]

Comedy, opera, dots, fashion.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And what's Yuha weird, y'all? I love Yuha Masaki. That girl is a fucking true New York weirdo. I'm telling you right now. There's something about people who are raised in New York. They are fucking weird. They are weird, weird people. You all is talented. You as a hard worker. She is funny. Yuha is a strange girl.

[Monet X Change]

No, she has to be s to make it make sense. Comedy. Comedy. Opera. Seamstress.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Strange.

[Monet X Change]

Strange. D. So wait, cods. Cods.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you think you a little strange?

[Monet X Change]

You Ha is very straight girl, I tell you. So you used to live right next door to where what was therapy. Now she literally right next door. So you would often make me outfits. And then one night, I was like, hey, I got done with the show, and I was picking up something I was wearing for, like, the next day at Queen or something like that. And I was like, I'm gonna come up. She's like, no, no. She's like, no, no, no. You can't come up. You can't come up. I was like, okay. I was like, can I get my outfit, though? So Yuhan makes a pulley system from her window because the outfit couldn't be thrown.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Pre Covid, y'all. Pre Covid.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Pre Covid. Cause the outfit couldn't be thrown. Cause it had, like, something sewn onto it we didn't want to break. So Juha is on her fire escape, Jimmy, rigging some rope to a thing to levy my thing down. Oh, God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why does she just come downstairs?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So this is pre Covid, y'all. Pre Covid.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. So Juha is. She's making a rig with rope and twine to lure my outfit down. Because you can't throw it down because it's gonna break.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because why can't she come down? Why can't she just walk downstairs?

[Monet X Change]

It was. I forget what it was. Something so silly. It was something like she just ordered her food or she microwaved something, and her apartment smell weird. She don't want me to smell it. I was like, girl, I'm not coming to live in your house.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also come downstairs. Just bring it downstairs. So I think I've told this story before, but those of you who are new to sibling rivalry, years ago, and I mean, probably 14 years ago, me and Yo Hamasaki went on a date. I won tickets to Avenue Q. And then I invited yo Hamasaki as a date. Maybe I didn't make it clear it was a date. She did not know it was a date. I invite you. I was like, you to go see Avenue Q with me. I wanted tickets. I was like, let's go to Avenue Q together. We get there, and she is talking throughout the entire play. And, by the way, at full volume, right? So she had never heard of Avenue Q. She sits down, and she's like, why are they puppets? Why are they singing? What? What? Why are the puppets having sex? Is this a kid's show? Are kids supposed to watch this show, y'all? Almost the entire play.

[Monet X Change]

That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then she's like, I didn't know this was a date.

[Monet X Change]

Was she laughing, too?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She did not think it was funny. She was not into Avenue Q. She thought it was a stupid, weird show.

[Monet X Change]

I've never seen Avenue Q. Avenue Q. It was never on Broadway. It only stayed off Broadway.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Girl. Avenue Q won the Tony over Wicked for best musical and one of the biggest upsets in music theater history.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, really?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Girl, don't sound that voice.

[Monet X Change]

I'm not a music theater person. You don't have to have such disdain.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

In your voice, but you're a dumb bitch person.

[Monet X Change]

And on that note, you're a dumb cunt. How about that?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And on that note, thank you for coming on my show. And it was my show today, honey. Ryan Seacrest here.
