I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like, I can't stop.

Why have we never done a buddy buddy Halloween look? I don't know. Well, girl, we've been threatening white chicks for years.

Monet X Change
We could be salt and pepper.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't like that.
Monet X Change
No, not the rappers. Like actual salt and pepper.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, salt and pepper.

Yeah. I think that could be really fierce. We do like a yassified cunty salt.
Bob the Drag Queen
That could be cute.
Monet X Change
Coffee and bagel.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, how do you Do a cuntified bagel?
Monet X Change

Bob the Drag Queen
It is well after Halloween for you all listening, but it is. What day is this coming? What day is it today? Jacob. Jacob just showed us a picture of us.
Monet X Change
Please send that. Send that to Jay. It's a blue thing. That's funny.
Jacob
This episode comes out Monday. So tomorrow, what day?
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, so Monet X Change and I will be doing an election day coverage which. Which we did last year, last presidential election cycle. We did do one where we stay up and we. We couldn't stay up the whole night because the results weren't like, it wasn't called until the next day. We. We woke up and Biden was invited. Had been elected President elect. So.
Monet X Change
But in the, in this, in the stream, he was like, we. Obviously they drew it out with election fraud and yada yada, but towards the end of the night, it was in favor of Biden with like, it being like completely that the next morning or
Bob the Drag Queen
something like that, I think they'll call it earlier this year because, well, I mean, Fox News got sued billions of dollars for lying on Dominion. 700 million.
Monet X Change
$700 million. That's.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought it was 5 billion. Is it 700 million? I got the numbers wrong.
Monet X Change
It wasn't a billion.
Jacob
It was.
Monet X Change
It was like seven.
Bob the Drag Queen
Google that, Jake. I don't know what it is, but. But a lot of money.
Monet X Change
A lot. Yeah. So we're planning to do that again. It was a lot of fun. And we went in, we were like, girl, weather is going to be 787 million. Yeah, I knew. It was like. We were like, weather is going. So just in case you hear that. $787 million. They were sued by Dominion for lying about the fucking election. So I don't think anyone wants to be fucking sued against this year. So hopefully people just do things right and not be crazy. And yeah, our whole purpose will, like, whether it's a sad singing, a flower bringer, we're gonna be there together watching this election. And luckily it was a nice turnout.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So also, did you see Kamala Harris on snl?
Monet X Change
So good.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was great. She's like, I don't really laugh like that, do I? She's like,
Monet X Change
all of the Amala puns were hilarious.
Bob the Drag Queen
They want to end the drama and watch Slave kick back and watch Rum Kamala, like legally Bondala. And then we can enjoy Christmas Fala lalala. Keep Kamala and carry Amala or Aunt Caryandola. It was really, really, really. It was really charming. Dana, Dana. Dana Carvey is doing a really good job as Joe Biden.
Monet X Change
I don't watch all of. I didn't. I just watched the clip that was on Twitter. I didn't watch the episode.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who is playing Donald Trump? Should I know who that is?
Monet X Change
Maybe a newer cast member. I've seen him, but I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
They usually bring in like the big hitters to do the OGs. Not necessarily OG. Like they brought in like Alec Baldwin to play Trump before they played. They had Bernie Sanders played by Larry David. They had. Well, Hillary was played by a cast member. They brought back, not brought back. They brought in Jim Gaffigan to play Tim Walls.
Monet X Change
They're bringing in Miss Thing to play Maya Rudolph to play Kamala Rudolph.
Bob the Drag Queen
But she's an SNL though.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but I'm saying she's not a cast member anymore.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, I'm saying she was. Sometimes they bring back old people who are on snl.
Jacob
They tend to looking right now this year it is James Austin Johnson who is regular SNL cast member.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, okay. And obviously Alec Baldwin is, is probably still not acting right now because of his drama.
Monet X Change
Did he get acquitted? Did he, did this trial happen again?
Bob the Drag Queen
He was never found guilty of anything. But the, but the prop master was found guilty gag. Yeah.
Monet X Change
You know, he has a. He has a reality show about his life coming out.
Bob the Drag Queen
It sounds like it's going to be sad. It sounds really sad. The whole story is really tragic.
Monet X Change
It's very tragic. Imagine being on set doing the things you get anyway. Unalive. That's wild. Yeah. So SNL was really good. I mean we are so we're only watching this. The election is tomorrow. So for the past week it has been crazy, the influx of all these rallies. Like Lizzo did a thing. Cardi B went out in Milwaukee, Beyonce and Kelly went out in Texas and hous. Like all these last minute campaign stops and like, oh my God, we didn't even talk about it. Bob. The motherfucking rally that he did at Madison Square Garden with that fucking loser John Hinchcliffe.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tim Hinchcliff or Tony?
Monet X Change
Tim Hinchcliff.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tony. Tony Hinchcliffe.
Monet X Change
Yeah. That made those terrible fucking disgusting jokes about Puerto Rico being a floating pile of garbage.
Bob the Drag Queen
Also I would say to before but like imagine. Imagine sitting in Madison Square Garden laughing at the notion that Puerto Rico is a floating pile of garbage. And you literally drove in from Staten Island.
Monet X Change
I saw your, your tick tock.
Bob the Drag Queen
Imagine living in Staten island and being like ha ha ha, Gar because, you know, Staten island is the only borough that goes up for Trump.
Monet X Change
Staten island. Well, that's a few people are like Staten island. And like, not a lot of Long island, but Long island has a lot of red. Long Island's a pretty red place.
Bob the Drag Queen
Almost half the population of New York. Almost. Not quite. But almost half the population of New York State lives in New York City
Monet X Change
in the five boroughs. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
And yes, almost half of the entire population of New York is in the city, which by the way, New York State, almost.
Monet X Change
I gotta look it up. Cause Bob Goddess, what's his name, and I'd be sitting here drinking the Kool Aid, talking about Michael Jackson's person is arrested in jail and dead. I was like, oh, really?
Bob the Drag Queen
New York State has a population of
Monet X Change
20 million people and New York City is 8 million, 9 million. Okay, all right, well, look at the population in New York City first before we just believe you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, here we go. Population of New York City is 8.26 million.
Jacob
Looking up the populations of states and cities is a recurring theme on this podcast.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do I. 8.26. But yeah, so that's almost half the population of New York State lives in lives just in the city. So how sparse is the rest of New York? I mean, that's the thing, because people
Monet X Change
have to come from New York somehow. Concrete jungle, New York, New York. I'm like, yeah, you can say that about New York City, but New York State outside of the five boroughs is pretty green. Like you drive after you get out of like Yonkers up there. Like, it is green, green, green, green. I did some stuff this summer in Bard in Albany. Like, I've never been to Rochester actually. I'm going to be in Rochester actually in the spring anyway. But like, it is green. New York is a very, very, very green. So I've been coming from New York. I'm on New York. Is this New York, is that. Yeah, New York City might be, honey. But listen, New York, New York State, we just have, we have dynamics. Like we had dynamics going on.
Bob the Drag Queen
We very, very green.
Monet X Change
Say it again.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, I've driven through New York. I wouldn't say New York is very, very green. Alabama is very, very green. Alabama is crazy green, babe.
Monet X Change
New Yorkers, like, who live, they're coming in, they are sounding off in the comments. If just girl, we drove. I drove from JFK to Bard, which is like a four hour drive and it is, it is insanely green. What are you talking about?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I lived in Alabama, so I just, you know, Alabama's like 2/3 forest. Like 2/3 of the entire state is just 2/3 of the whole state is just forest.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but you can say that apples are delicious and oranges are too. That doesn't change like so just because
Bob the Drag Queen
Alabama, comparatively speaking, like when I say someone, when I hear that someone's tall, in my opinion, that starts at 6, 2. But if you live in a population where people aren't that tall, maybe the U511 is very tall. But to me I'd be like five'11's not tall. Six'2 is tall. But that's just because of my perspective of the people I grew up around. I grew up around really tall people. Jacob is tall in his family. Jacob is the tallest person in his family.
Monet X Change
That's just insane.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob is a giant. A giant amongst men. Jacob is a giant in his family. If you look at a picture of Jacob with his family, he looks like he's six feet tall. Because it looks like a bunch of average height people with their tall ass son. Is that hilarious?
Monet X Change
Yeah, I said it before, I say it again. I really enjoy Jacob's mom. She's a very cool lady. Wait, so we're talking about Tony Hinchcliffe and those crazy jokes? So I guess. And again after this. I don't wanna fuck it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean we're.
Monet X Change
The tea is after this, after Tuesday, after tomorrow, we're gonna be hearing about the election being rigged and blah blah, blah for the next couple months. So we're not gonna be done with this even after tomorrow. But like I am excited to stop with all these fucking rallies and all this crazy shit and these people who are allowed to say these crazy things with no repercussions. And then what? The thing that drives me crazy that's all over my feed and TikTok and Twitter, whatever is people at these Trump rallies talking like, talking about things like the terrorists. Clear understanding how terrorists fucking work and how it's affecting them on the day to day. But they just believe the stuff that they're saying. And what I would like to do is someone to do that to the other side. Right. Cause you never see it about the Dems because we're not disillusioned by the negativity and the bad things by that party. But the conservatives, not even the conservatives, the magas are so disillusioned and they just drink the Kool Aid of everything this person is saying and not using any critical thinking or rationale about how stupid and crazy it sounds.
Bob the Drag Queen
So to give a bit of, I don't know, A lot about tariffs, but this is what I do know. The way that tariffs work are tariffs are not paid by the country who does the importing. I mean, who does the exporting. Tariffs are paid by the country who does the importing. Right? So if China wants to sell their goods, it's gonna cost manufacturers more money to buy it. They pay the tariffs. China does not pay the tariffs. So what that means is that item they're making is now going to cost you more money as a consumer because it costs you more money to get it. And folks like, well, this is gonn bring up productivity in America. Let me be clear. To quote Kamala Harris. Let me be clear, okay? If a shirt in China costs $2, actually it costs like a dollar to make. You have to pay an extra $2 to get the shirt. The shirt's gonna, that, that price is gonna go up to you, the consumer. And if that same shirt is made in the United States of America, it's not gonna cost that much money. It's gonna cost you way more. So the product itself will be more expensive because there are more intense labor laws here in the United States of America. So the prices of everything will go up. So even if we're like, okay, we're not buying any more of those, we're not paying those tariffs, we're gonna buy them American made. The shirts will still be more expensive because it costs more money to make things in America. Like Jacob, can you look up where the PlayStation 5 is made? Where are PlayStations made? I know. Or Nintendo, where's Nintendo made? Like, where are these things made? Because at this point y' all like, what would you buy American made? You gonna buy American made Nintendo? You gonna buy an American, you gonna buy an American made Toyota? Imagine.
Monet X Change
Well, well, and, and, and people like. And Mark Cuban was on the View talking about this. Like you don't realize, like, so, like when, so when it's time for parents to do Christmas shopping for their kids and so to get toys, that's gonna impact all of that stuff, right? So, so like that's gonna severely impact how much you're able to spend on your Christmases for your kids. Like just your day to day things, the things realize are made in China. And he was saying it could be up to like your things could cost up to 60% more. So the fucking, I don't know,
Jacob
knife
Monet X Change
set that you bought on Amazon, that is, or somewhere that's made in China for 50 bucks. 60% know what 60% is? It's going to cost you about $75 for that same thing. So it's crazy. It's going to really impact people, and they don't realize like, how crazy. And the guy who was talking about terrorists for the Trump, he was like, yeah, well, China's going to pay those terrorists. And the guy is like, no, that's not how terrorists work, babe.
Jacob
You.
Monet X Change
You're going to pay for it. He's like, well, I sell merch and we're just going to make China pay for it. I'm like, no, that's not how it fucking works.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, the manufacturer will pay, and then you will charge your people more money because that's how merchandise works. That is how. That's a very simple, broad overstroke of international commerce, obviously. Hype. Is that. Is it hot over there while you painting your pits?
Monet X Change
It is hot because it's. I'm in this. In this. I'm just saying where I am.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, you're not at home.
Monet X Change
I'm in. Yeah, I'm in my new office.
Bob the Drag Queen
Where are you at?
Monet X Change
I'm in Denver. I'm in Denver, Colorado, doing Colorado opera. What? You were close the first time. It is a French opera. It's called La Fille de Regiment. The daughter of the regiment. It's the one you saw. Did me do before, actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I have a picture of that in my fridge. Aw, you're doing the hits, huh?
Monet X Change
Well, this production, they switched it around. The first time you saw me, I was right. My aria came at the top of Act 2. Now it's at the bottom of Act 2, and I have a separate thing at the beginning of Act 2. It's a different interpretation, but it's still fun.
Bob the Drag Queen

And we're back. So, yeah, like y', all, your Nintendo's. If you want to buy a Nintendo Switch, baby, these are not made in the States and they're not going to. And they're not Going to sell Nintendo to America, Sugar.
Monet X Change
They're not. They're not.
Bob the Drag Queen
And not only that, the chips, the parts of things, the. The. Y' all think it's just like, oh, the toy itself. No, baby. Even stuff that's made in America, they assemble it in America. Where do you think? These. Like, what do you think? There's this Jamaican beer, they bottle it in America, but maybe they make it in Jamaica, they brew it there. So how do y' all think, you know?
Monet X Change
You know, it's a big one. I realize I. So my whole life, obviously, grew up in St. Lucia, so I thought Heineken was St. Lucia, even though it's a. It's a very German name. But Heineken is such a popular beer, A popular beer in the Caribbean. And then. But I think that sometimes countries buy the rights or. I don't know how that works with things like that, but you buy the rights to brew it in that country. I don't know. I don't know if the US has that same deal, but basically, it's brewed in St Lucia. Brewed and bottled, and I think you buy a license to do it for a certain amount of years or months.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll name the beer, you name the country.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Corona.
Monet X Change
Mexico.

Bob the Drag Queen
I used to be a bartender, and, you know.
Monet X Change
And you know where all these beers are from. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen

Monet X Change
Stella Artois. It's French.

Well, America is a melting pot.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yingling.
Monet X Change
Yingling. That's America.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's America's oldest brewery.
Monet X Change
Yingling.
Bob the Drag Queen
Actually, Solar Torre might not be. Wait, Solar Torre might not be America. I might have made that up. But Yingling is America's oldest brewery, though.
Monet X Change
Piton.
Bob the Drag Queen
It sounds French.
Monet X Change
Okay, but what country?
Bob the Drag Queen
France.
Monet X Change
No, St. Lucia.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, is it? I never heard of that beer before. What's the Japanese beer?
Monet X Change
I don't think you can find it here.
Jacob
What's the Japanese beer? Belgium.
Bob the Drag Queen
Belgian. Yeah, I was wrong about that one. What's the Japanese beer?
Monet X Change
Soju, but I don't think Soju is a beer.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no. Japanese beer. Sapporo.
Monet X Change
What's the one that Plastique drinks sometimes? It's called, like, Tara.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. Okay, I'm gonna. Okay, I'm gonna name an alcohol.
Monet X Change
Tara. It's like a green bottle.
Jacob
Yeah, Tara. Tara. It's a lager, and it's Australian.
Monet X Change
What's a lager?
Bob the Drag Queen
A Lager. A lager? I'm not sure, but it's like a lager. And there's Hefeweizens and there's ipa. Hefeweizen is wheat.
Monet X Change
Got it.
Jacob
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
So how about gin? What country do you think gin comes from?
Monet X Change
Gin. Oh, I think gin is French.
Bob the Drag Queen
Gin is from London.
Monet X Change
Is it really? Londoners do like gin. They love gin.
Bob the Drag Queen
How about bourbon?
Jacob
Gin is from the Netherlands.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you sure? I just googled it.
Monet X Change
Are you sure?
Bob the Drag Queen
Where's Beefeater from?
Monet X Change
That sounds German.
Bob the Drag Queen
Beefeater is. Beefeater's from London. Beefeater's British. It's a British gin. A Beefeater is one of those guards. Yeah, but you.
Monet X Change
Okay, but like, vodka. I don't know what. Vodka definitely is German, but. I'm sorry, I'm Russian, but I have a vodka, which. I'm not Russian.
Jacob
There's a London Gin was invented in the Netherlands. Through trade, it made its way to London, and London developed their own thing, which is called London Drink dry gin. London dry is what beef eater is. It is a London gin. But gin ar.
Bob the Drag Queen
But that's. You didn't say beef eater.
Monet X Change
You said. You literally said d. You said London Dry gin. What could it say? Misinformation.
Bob the Drag Queen
How about bourbon?
Monet X Change
Bourbon is. I feel like that's American.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Fun fact about bourbon. Bourbon has been made in Bourbon County, Kentucky. Oh, wow. Wait. It has to be. If you take the same ingredients, the same barrel one county over, it's not called bourbon anymore. You cannot legally call it bourbon.
Monet X Change
Jacob, can you factor that, please?
Bob the Drag Queen
It has to be called sour mash.
Monet X Change
I have never seen any bottle of anything say sour mash.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause they make bourbon in Bourbon County, Kentucky. All bourbon has been in bourbon, just like all champagne comes from champagne.
Monet X Change
That is true in France.
Bob the Drag Queen
Any champagne made outside of champagne, France has to be called sparkling wine.
Monet X Change
Or if you're in Spain, they call it cava. No, Bourbon does not.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is not right. I'm telling you to have it to be called bourbon, to have it be labeled a bourbon. And it has to be made in the United States. Like, read this.
Monet X Change
Okay, let me read it. This is an old saying that bourbon must be made in Kentucky. However, this is a common misconception. Kentucky bourbon is only produced in the state. But bourbon, in fact, can be made in any of the 50American states.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's not real bourbon. US real bourbon drinkers, those of us who really drink the burb, those of us who really love to drink from the barrel, who drink straight from the barrel. We call Bob.
Monet X Change
You didn't like bourbon when you drank. You like, you like vodka?
Bob the Drag Queen
Actually I did love bourbon.
Monet X Change
Okay. Would you ever get into Patty drinks? These sometimes those like those like the sober like spirits and wine. Would you ever get into those? I don't like those like you don't like. You just don't like the taste of it. You're just not interested.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean I've tried them before and they don't. They taste good.
Monet X Change
Got it. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
But. But every once in a while I'll have a glass of wine though.
Monet X Change
Like one of the non alcoholic wines?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, like what? Just straight up wine. Like everyone. It's not relapsing if you're, if you're doing, if you, if you like doing it like once in a while intentionally. It's not. That's not relapsing.
Monet X Change
I might do this with you.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's just having fun.
Monet X Change
Did you. Can I, can I. I want to ask you a question. I've seen someone wearing this shirt before. Was it you?
Bob the Drag Queen
Missy Elliot? Maybe?
Monet X Change
Did you go to the concert? Yo, we missed. I'm so mad I missed the concert. Like when I heard, when it was announced I was like, ooh, I'm going to this concert. And I completely forgot.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, Missy.
Monet X Change
I didn't see. Yeah, Missy, Busta Rhymes and Ciara. And I just didn't see a lot of it on social media so I just forgot that it even happened. And now it's probably over. I would imag Busta Rhymes. I want, I want to go see Adele. Adele is. I want to go to see in Vegas.
Bob the Drag Queen
I got you all in check. I got the head knock shit that make you break your neck. Woohah. Where you from?
Monet X Change
I think Busta Rhymes is from Queens. He's from New York.
Bob the Drag Queen
Busta Rhymes.
Monet X Change
I'm pretty sure he's from New York.
Bob the Drag Queen
Fact check. Jacob, since we fact checking me, let's fact check Monet. Exchange. Monet said. I heard there would be. I was told there'd be no fact checking tonight. Like J.D. you see J.D. vance say, I wouldn't be surprised if me and Trump won the normal gay guy vote.
Monet X Change
I saw that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Oh my God. East Flatbush. East Flatbush, Brooklyn.
Instacart Advertiser
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Trevor Smith Jr. Did you know Trevor growing up?
Monet X Change
I did not. We're not. I don't think we're in the same age range, babe.
Bob the Drag Queen
But maybe, but you couldn't. You knew adults when you were growing up.
Monet X Change
Only my parents.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Monet X Change
How old is Busta Rhymes? Jacob, can you go back to that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's guess. I think bus rhymes is 45. 56. 45. You think bus rhymes a little bit older than me.
Monet X Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
You think bus rhymes is six years older than me?
Monet X Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or seven years older than me, girl.
Monet X Change
52.
Bob the Drag Queen
52.
Monet X Change
So right in the middle.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't do the math that quick, but it is in the middle somewhere in there. But yeah, no, we. I mean I miss a lot of tours. I tried to go see Sasha Velour on tour, but I was touring my damn self.
Monet X Change
She was in San Diego, right? She did like a preview of her thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I heard it's a really good show. I mean I did see her. Her one of her first big tour that she did. I saw it in New York City. It was a really beautiful show.
Monet X Change
Do you know what? It also really, really fucking beautiful show. What death becomes her is so fucking good. If y' all get the chance to go see the show, you have to. It is so fucking good. It's so good. It's so campf. Over the top, huh?
Bob the Drag Queen
Is Michelle still in it?
Monet X Change
Yeah, Michelle's still in it. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've heard she's really good on Broadway. This is like her second time on Broadway or maybe even more.
Monet X Change
I think her like fourth time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I know she did Belle and Beauty and the Beast. I think she was Aida. She did Aida.
Monet X Change
Uh huh. She did this and she did something else. I was reading in her.
Jacob
I could be wrong. I thought she was the narrator and Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat on Broadway, not on Broadway. I think it was like touring. Maybe I'm wrong.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, it's the price you pay. She had a little raspy voice.
Monet X Change
Yeah, it was good. It was really good. Megan Hilty is so good. Megan Hilty is. I saw Megan Hilty. Jasmine Rice did a concert in San Diego at the Shell out there and it was her and Megan. Well, it was Megan Hilty show and Jasmine Rice had some numbers in there, but it was. Yeah, yeah, n you hot too.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was warm. It is warm.
Monet X Change
And Megan Hilsey is such a beautiful singer. They have this really, really gay song at the top of the show. It's so funny. It's so good. The show was great.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you could as a party trick, sing exactly like one person. And I mean like they'd be like, is this person at their prime? They would literally be like, is this person in the room with us? Who would you choose?
Monet X Change
Party trick. Okay, same question. Party trick. Like this is like, wow, this is impressive. You can sing this well, like, wow, A party trick. Like, oh, my God, you. No matter how good or bad they are. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I mean, it doesn't matter like it. So if you want to sing just, like, I don't know, William Hung. You can sound exactly like William Hung. Or if you want to sing exactly like Mariah, which version of her
Monet X Change
vision of love, Mariah Carey, Like, Asia Pawchick.
Bob the Drag Queen
You'd be like, I had a vision of love and it was more than you given to me. That's the song I would sing my all if I was gonna do. If I was gonna. If I had Mariah Carey's voice, I would sing my all to be like, look at what I just did.
Monet X Change
But my all and vision of love, Mariah Carey are pretty close. But if you say that would be
Bob the Drag Queen
the song I sang to be like, watch this. I give my all to have just one more night with you. I'd risk my life to feel good next to my.
Monet X Change
You gotta do that. You gotta do that. I'm losing the who sings the most
Bob the Drag Queen
on the podcast debate at this point,
Monet X Change
girl, by a landslide.
Bob the Drag Queen
But that's what you been making. You've been making a concerted effort to not sing ever since we had this conversation.
Monet X Change
I have not.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know how you play the. I know you play the game, and you're playing with the right one. That's right. Step out the game. This is not. This is not the view. Now where's Barbara Walters,
Monet X Change
girl? So I. Oh, yeah. This is my question for you. Where is it appropriate to clip your. Tone. Your nails in the bathroom?
Bob the Drag Queen
In your bedroom.
Monet X Change
Thank you, bitch. Somebody was clipping their nails on the plane the other day.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. And also in your dressing. In the dressing room of a theater.
Monet X Change
Okay. Especially if you're on the road on tour. I can see that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. But over the trash can.
Monet X Change
Yes. Or in the sink.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you're just putting your foot on the sink.
Monet X Change
No, I didn't say your foot. Your. Your nails. Fingernails.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was thinking someone else. Oh, okay. Fingernails are different now. If you're clipping fingernails. You can clip your fingernails in the living room. You can clip your fingernails in the bathroom. You can clip your fingernails in a bedroom. Yeah. Fingernails in the living room.
Monet X Change
Your little. Your little finger crust. Your fingernails flying everywhere. Because sometimes. Sometimes they go down, but sometimes they fly.
Bob the Drag Queen
Only my toenails fly. My fingernails never fly. They just. They fall. They just fall to wherever. My toenails, baby. My toenails will make cover some. Like, they're very moana. Who knows? How far I'll go. And no one knows. Like, my toenails will. Will go. Will cover the distance, honey.
Monet X Change
Playing boomerang food yourself.
Bob the Drag Queen
No you laughing. But my toenails, they, they. They get velocity on them. Velocity.
Monet X Change
I saw someone clipping their toenails at the fucking. Like. So I was. I'm sitting in. I'm sitting on the plane. Because the distinct sound of a nail clipper is so specific. You know exactly what it is. Every time it's that high pitch ding. And I was like, are you kidding me? So I'm. So now I'm in my seat doing one of these, like, looking over, like. Cause I see the person over here. I'm trying to give the ignored. Like, I keep on looking back, oh, my God. Every two seconds. Yeah. Oh, 100%. Of course.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
But the person did not give a fuck.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I was.
Monet X Change
If I was sitting next to that person, I would. There's no way you're gonna clip your nails flying. That is very. It's unsanitary. It's fucking nasty. I would have to call the flight attendant. I'm not gonna fight with you for a thing, but I will be. If I'm sitting next to you, I'm gonna be very obnoxious and press the thing. And then I'm like, can you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do think our hands. I do think our fingernails are actually dirty than our toenails, though.
Monet X Change
For sure. Oh, for sure. Your feet are probably covered most of the time. Your hands are flushing things, turning doorknobs.
Bob the Drag Queen
If someone next to me were clipping their fingernails, I'd be like, it's kind of tacky, but whatever. But if someone next to me were clipping their toenails, I'd be like, this is insane. The fact that you chose to do this here is genuinely. I can't even wrap my brain around why you would think that was okay. I literally can't figure it out.
Monet X Change
And then today, this guy was. I walked into the thing at the locker room at the gym, and he was clipping his toenails in the locker room at the gym. Not even in the shower section. At least that. But in, like, the section where you hang your shit. Like the locker part.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can clip your toenails in the locker room. No, no, you can. No, home. I would say, put a towel down, put your feet on the towel and clip them over the towel.
Monet X Change
Now.
Bob the Drag Queen
What if it's you? The locker room is for grooming. Well, I would put. I would. I would have the towels over my hand too. Like, the locker room is for grooming. That's what you do. You groom in the locker room.
Monet X Change
Can y' all comment below? Is it appropriate to clip your toenails or a fingernails in the locker room at a gym?
Bob the Drag Queen
I wanna have this conversation. I wanna have this conversation. I cannot figure out why. Cause it does bother me and I literally can't figure out why.
Monet X Change
Let's take a break and then you can tell me about your little problem that you got. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.
Jacob
Now I was looking for fun ways
Monet X Change
to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give a it a try@mintmobile.com switch.
Instacart Advertiser
Upfront payment of $45 for 3 months, $90 for 6 months or $180 for 12 month plan required. $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know why it bothers me and I really want to get out of it because I think it's respectability, politics or something, or just social norms. I'm not sure the right word, but listening to someone talk on speakerphone, on the plane or at the gym or at the, or at the target is so rude. But why? Because if the person was next to them and they were talking at the exact same volume, that would not be weird. If the person, if they were, if the two people behind you were just talking on the phone, I mean, talking to each other, it would not be weird. But if one of them was on speakerphone, all of a sudden it becomes weird and I can't, I cannot figure out why that bothers me so much. It really, it seems rude, but I can't put my finger on what about it is rude.
Monet X Change
I don't think it's always rude. I think like at the gym it is annoying to me. It's bothersome to me in like a public space, I guess to like on the train, because it's the equivalent of playing your music out loud. Like, why would you do that? And why is that?
Bob the Drag Queen
What if there were just two people just talking though? What if it were just two people just talking next to each other?
Monet X Change
Yeah, you're right. I see the point you're trying to make. But something about the technological medium gets to be annoying and it's appropriate And
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't figure out what it is. And I think I wanna let that go. I wanna be like, girl, use your phone on speakerphone. This would literally just be like if the person was here next to you. But also, same thing. If they're on the phone and all you hear is their end, it's not rude anymore. If they're just on the phone on the plane. If you're sitting at. For me, if you're sitting on the tarmac and someone's on their phone, that's not rude.
Monet X Change
I think it's rude.
Bob the Drag Queen
Talk on your phone on the plane. I talk to you on your phone on the plane.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but normally I'm like. I'm like, hey, girl, yeah, I'm on a thing. But if you're like, on the plane talking about, yeah, yeah, we just landed. That's crazy. You cannot do that on the plane.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, why you do the white man voice.
Monet X Change
Is that my white voice?
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you do your white guy voice?
Monet X Change
Give me something to say. Jacob. Jacob, can you pull up a monologue for me to say?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I just have a conversation with me. So, hi, thank you for coming in for the job position today. What's your name again?
Monet X Change
My name's Kevin Burton. How are you?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm great, Kevin. So where did you go to school?
Monet X Change
I went to school at Westminster Choir College in Princeton. I graduated in four years with a bachelor's in music education and opera performance. Well, sorry, that's not true. I dropped the opera performance degree at one point. It's just music education, actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nice. All right, thank you, Kevin. And by the way, do you need us to validate any parking fee or anything?
Monet X Change
No, I got it. Thank you so much. Bobiana.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bobiana. Yes, that's my name. Thank you.
Monet X Change
Thank you so much.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right, now I'm do mine. You ready?
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hello.
Monet X Change
Is this all you checking out with today?
Jacob
Hi.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, this will be all.
Monet X Change
Thanks. So all you want is the lube, the Oreos and popcorn? I mean, what you doing with all of that?
Bob the Drag Queen
That'll be all. We're having a party. Having a bit of a party at my house tonight, huh?
Monet X Change
What kind of party you using with Oreos?
Bob the Drag Queen
And can I just say, by the way, we really beat the line. We really beat the line. And it's really warm out. But you know what it is? It's not the heat, it's the humidity.
Monet X Change
It's not even humidity here, sir. It's just cold.
Bob the Drag Queen
The humidity's what gets you. Amber.
Monet X Change
Amber, yes, that's my name. Amber. By the Way. You kind of cute, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm married. Married man. Sorry. I'm a lady.
Monet X Change
A lady.
Bob the Drag Queen
Love my lady.
Monet X Change
I know you fucking lying. A lady with your gay ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
You got me, Amber.
Monet X Change
All right.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can we hear your white man voice, Jacob?
Monet X Change
His white girl. That is his voice.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob, let's hear
Monet X Change
Jacob.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob, talk to us.
Jacob
Hi, my name's Jacob.
Monet X Change
Now, Jacob, can we hear you?
Jacob
I was wondering if it'd be possible to check out of the room a little bit extended. Yeah, 1:30 would be great. Thank you so much.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is how Jacob calls out.
Monet X Change
Jacob, can we hear your black man voice?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I know that's right. Nope.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I don't know when I use my white man voice. I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't use. I mean, to be honest, I think that people who hear my voice know that I'm black, but I don't have a. I mean, I had a waiter voice. I used to use, like, a waiter voice, but I don't really do a ton of code switching. But also, to be honest, my black scent, my black accent, my black voice that I use, it's not really the marginalized black voice. Like, it's not like people who speak the way I speak. You can tell I'm black, but my voice isn't the kind of voice that would typically be marginalized, to be honest. So I don't really change my voice, my talk.
Monet X Change
I code switched a lot when I worked at hotels and when I worked that. But I think a lot of my code switching, to be honest, stopped when I start. When I. When I started working for myself. Like, when I started doing drag full time and, like, working in this industry, that's when the code switching stopped for me. But before then, I think I used to code switch heavy when I would have to, especially when I was, like, going to opera auditions and stuff like that, because all the fucking racial shit that goes on in opera companies and, like, you know, trying to, like, get the job and not seem too threatening or too black. You know what I mean? I would 100% code switch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you think you sound. Do you think people hear your voice and you sound black to them?
Monet X Change
So this. So this is my regular voice. This is how I talk when I'm on zooms for gigs or for brand deals. Like, this is how I talk. I don't know. I mean, I don't know who. I can't ask you. Cause you know what? I. You know, I'm black.
Bob the Drag Queen
You sound like a New Yorker for sure.
Monet X Change
Do I really? Do you? Okay, so I think we've had this conversation before. I really think I know some words. I do have a New York accent, but for the most part, I think I sound pretty neutral.
Bob the Drag Queen
Off.
Monet X Change
Off.
Bob the Drag Queen
Off. Money, you said off. That is not what the rest of us in the country say. We say off. Turn it off.
Monet X Change
Off. Off. Wait.
Bob the Drag Queen
Turn it off. Turn it off.
Monet X Change
Turn it off. Cause y' all go, so. Because that's so American, that, like, guttural.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's that brown caffeinated drink that everyone has in the mornings?
Monet X Change
Coffee.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. How do you say it, bitch?
Monet X Change
I say coffee.
Bob the Drag Queen
You say coffee.
Monet X Change
I do not say coffee. I definitely do not say coffee. I say coffee.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you say mother and father?
Monet X Change
I do not say. I do not have these in my, in my.
Bob the Drag Queen
There used to be this one girl from New York who said, I don't know, and she moved to Atlanta. I don't know why it pissed me off so much when this bitch said, my mother and my father. That used to drive me. I felt like she was putting it on. Like, she was very like, I'm from New York and like, folks from Georgia just don't really be doing all that. Like, that is a Texas and a New York City. The only Texas in New York are so, like, I'm from Texas and I'm from New York. Like, they like you.
Monet X Change
That's true. But you haven't met somebody from New Jersey. You will.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let me tell you right now, you will know someone. You did not know that Nicole Byer was from New Jersey. You did not know until I told you.
Monet X Change
But you know Wendy Williamson from New Jersey.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, but what I'm saying is you will never know someone from New York and they, and have them not tell you. You cannot know a person from Texas or New York City. And within a week of knowing them, it will somehow come up. They are from Texas. It will come up.
Monet X Change
I don't think that's, I don't think that's different in any other place. Like, when you talk to people, you get to know them. You find out where they're.
Bob the Drag Queen
When you talk to people. When you talk to people. When you talk to people, when you talk.
Monet X Change
I think you're correct. Oh, I was so. I, I, I was listening to, listening to the Call Her Daddy podcast because Aubrey o' Day was on there. Were you? Were you what? Todrick's house, that time. That one time that Aubrey was over there.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, who's Aubrey? All day. Why is that name so familiar?
Monet X Change
She was from Danity Kane.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah, Yeah, I was there that time. Yeah, when I saw you, I had
Monet X Change
no idea it was her.
Bob the Drag Queen
And apparently she's a really, really good singer.
Monet X Change
Apparently, yeah, she's a great singer. But she was on there talking about her life is so interesting. She's talking about, like, working with Diddy and how, like, fucking Diddy fucked them up on making the band. They were touring all the time, doing all this stuff.
Bob the Drag Queen
They made.
Monet X Change
No, now, that's twofold, right? One is they didn't have the right representation, but that's because they got their fame and their deal through the show making the band. So they weren't very protected. So it was kind. It's kind of crazy. So Diddy, like, fucked them up with making the band. They did all this touring, all these albums. They made literally no money. And then she goes on to talk about her, like, at the end of, like, five or six years, they didn't have money, really pretty much to do anything because they, like, Diddy and Bad Boy, took all their shit.
Bob the Drag Queen
TLC had the same situation. TLC have the same story happen with them.
Monet X Change
With Diddy. They were. They were Bad Boy.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, not with Diddy, but they were. They were. They were a girl group there, and they were like, y', all, we are broke. Like, we are. There was a video where they're like, we are out here at the Grammys or whatever, and we don't have any money. We don't have any money. You should go listen. If you have an opportunity, you should listen to Michelle Visage book. It is a. It's a five hours. I mean, it is literally, I listen to it in LA Traffic, and it's actually a pretty good book. She talks about touring with Seduction. No money. No money. They're paid. They got paid a weekly rate, and it was not a lot of money. They got paid like. I can't remember what she said, but it was a very low amount of money a week to do these arena tours. Monet, she was performing in arenas, Arenas. And I don't mean like, performing like, as. Like a dancer. She was the act. It was her. It was. It was Seduction and Milli Vanilli touring together. And they were getting paid, like, $1,000 to $1,200 a week.
Monet X Change
That's just bananas. That's just Banana.
Bob the Drag Queen
Standing on stage in an arena with your name on the outside, you. Your name sold the tickets and someone else is really making all the. All the. All the coins.
Instacart Advertiser
These.
Monet X Change
These people be fucked up. And then she talks about. Did you know that she dated don Donald Trump Jr.
Bob the Drag Queen
From Danny Kane?
Monet X Change
Yes. She dated him right before Trump started running for election in 2016.
Bob the Drag Queen
What does she know?
Monet X Change
Right before he won.
Bob the Drag Queen
What does she know? She knows some stuff.
Monet X Change
Well, she talked about the book. She was like, they were asking out the book, and they're asking all this stuff, and she was saying, y', all, she's like. She's like the person, like, the whole family. She's like, there's so much competition between all of them. I don't think they really like each other. And she was like, But Donald Trump Jr. A lot of the people in the family, they have completely changed their entire shit. Because she's like, I am a super liberal pro. She's like, I am liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal. And she's like, he was very similar to that. That's why we found comfort in each other, and that's why we did. And we had so many similarities. But when the father started to run, the entire family was so willing to change their entire shit for what they have now. So she was like. So Alex asked her, well, do you think you would like. Cause she was like, he was the love of my life. Although she was his secret lover. He had a wife, but she was with him. She was his side piece, but everyone knew. The wife knew. She was upset about it. Michael Cohen tried to get her out of it. Because when Trump was running, they're like, we gotta squash all this secret shit. That's why you gotta go away. But anyway, long story short, the family changed a whole shit for what they have now so that Trump could run and basically become super conservative, super crazy. To run for. To run for the.
Bob the Drag Queen
For the.
Monet X Change
For the presidency. It's kind of wild.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is wild. Yeah. Trump used to be quite liberal.
Monet X Change
That's crazy. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Trump used to be quite liberal.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
But anyway, that is wild. Well, maybe we should get on the podcast. I don't know why I'm saying that. I hate interviewing people. Have her own. Have her own Monet Talks. I'll watch it. I'm a big fan of the show.
Monet X Change
Thank you.
Bob the Drag Queen

All.
Monet X Change
I mean, I'm teasing content that is coming very at the top of the year. I'm doing some lady on the street videos about something. They're really fun. Obviously. I'm based in New York City. I'm base on my card. I'm based in Los Angeles, so they're in places in Los Angeles, but maybe we could travel to different cities and do them in other cities too. We shall see.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yesterday, me and Hillary Clinton were in the same building.
Monet X Change
I heard it. Andy told me that the security was crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was crazy. HRC was in the building. There were two theaters in the Strauss Center. She was in the Giant room. I was in the 1700 seat room. Maybe four tender seats. It doesn't matter. The point is I was. I tried to invite her to the show and no one would give her the word. So I just put it on my social media. I was like, hillary Clinton, please come to my show tonight.
Monet X Change
And what did she say when she saw the show?
Bob the Drag Queen
She thought it was really funny. She's a bobblehead. Official bobblehead now.
Monet X Change
So now we. Now we know she didn't come to the show. So you have just debunked all your shit because we know she comes to her goddamn show. She a bobblehead. She's clearly monation.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Bill Clinton's monation. Hillary's bobblehead. Kamala's bobblehead.
Monet X Change
Joe, I know you lying.
Bob the Drag Queen
You Joe's monation.
Monet X Change
You are crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tim Walls, bobblehead.
Monet X Change
100 false.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tim.
Monet X Change
I'll give y' all Tim. Tim is a bobblehead. Lying about. Lying about going to. To war.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tianna Square. Tim Kane. Monation for sure.
Monet X Change
Who the fuck is Tim Kaine?
Bob the Drag Queen
Tim Kaine was Hillary Clinton's running mate.
Monet X Change
Was it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Mm.
Monet X Change
Can I tell you, I could not remember who was Hillary. He was Hillary.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's a whole bit on SNL about him recently. He came out. There's a whole bit on SNL about him. He came out and he was like you said, it was the most important election in the world. I was Hillary Clinton's running mate. I was one heartbeat away from becoming the President of the United States of America. So what's my name? And then John Mulaney was playing the character. He was like, he could remember his name, girl.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I have no recollection of that.
Bob the Drag Queen
He looks almost exactly like Tim Walls.
Monet X Change
The name doesn't even ring a bell. I can't say, like, oh, yeah, I kind of. I don't remember hearing that name.
Bob the Drag Queen
Clinton Cain. All right, how many vice presidents going back? Your name ready? Who was who? Who is Joe Biden's vice president? Monet. Joe Biden's vice president, Sarah Huckabee. Monet. You know who Joe Biden's vice president is? Come on, don't play against Kamala Harris.
Monet X Change
Kamala Harris.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. Trump's Vice president Pence. Okay. Obama's Vice president, Biden. Okay. George Bush's vice president, Dick Cheney. See, you're doing great. George Bush's vice president. I mean, sorry, not George Bush. Bill Clinton's vice president.
Monet X Change
And here, where we lose all of it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, do I know George. Do I know Bill Clinton's vice president?
Monet X Change
Huh?
Bob the Drag Queen
Al Gore. Al Gore. Okay. Yeah, Al Gore. And before Clementine, it was Bush.
Monet X Change
I don't know who that is. Couldn't even tell you.
Jacob
Yeah, I think he's an obscure one. He hasn't done anything super crazy. Dan Quayle.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, Dan Quayle. I remember that. Dan Quayle. Dan Quayle.
Monet X Change
Also, have you seen this new thing about this new ad by liberals saying, like, you know, a liberal ad saying, like, basically, like to wives, to women, go into the voting booth and vote in your best interest and just lie to your husband, basically, and tell him, like. Well, not lie, but be like, you know, but also. But yes, yes, but also. If you are in a fucking relationship where you have to lie about prioritizing your health to your spouse. Spouse or your boyfriend or whatever, what kind of fucking relationship that. And again, I know everyone chooses different things that are right for them, for the relationship, but I. For me. And there are things that. Right, like in my relationship, I probably do things that someone. And that's why I'm like, I can't believe you do that. But, like, to like your healthcare and, like, what you need as a woman to. With your fucking vagina to exist in this world, to have to lie about that to your husband or the person that's supposed to love you unconditionally, that's crazy to me. And I couldn't fathom being married to that person.
Bob the Drag Queen
I agree. I'm glad we're on the same page about this.
Monet X Change
That's Nuts. Like, yeah, baby, I voted for Trump. Like, what? No, bitch, I'm a brother for him. He's against who I am. He's against my fucking ovaries and my uterus.
Bob the Drag Queen
So an interesting statistic is that the least successful marriages are. The highest divorce rate amongst marriages is lesbian relationships. But listen to this statistic. 70 of straight marriages are initiated by the woman.
Monet X Change
71 initiated. What does that mean? Like, they propose.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, the. The. No, initiated. The divorce is initiated. Sorry. 70 of the divorces are initiated by the woman.
Monet X Change
Oh, wow.
Bob the Drag Queen
So if they're both women, the divorce rate is going to be higher. Maybe women are like, I know, I'm done. The women are like, it's a rap.
Monet X Change
I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, we did it. We tried. We fucking tried, and I don't want anymore.
Monet X Change
But also, the ratio of straight marriages to, let's say marriages is. I mean, probably. There are probably so many more straight marriages, though. So.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, for sure.
Monet X Change
Marriages to 80 of lesbian marriages, probably. They're still way more straight, I would imagine.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, for sure. But proportionally speaking, lesbian divorce rate is the highest.
Monet X Change
Where. Where do. Where do. Where do. Where do. The gays are. How are the gays?
Instacart Advertiser
I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think. I bet we have the lowest marriage rate.
Monet X Change
For sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
I am so cool with, like. I mean, I will get. I could get married. But also, like,
Monet X Change
Imagine if gays could get pregnant, Bob. Imagine if we.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob would have a. Jacob would be at home with 18 children right now.
Monet X Change
All right, girl. The honesty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Same.
Monet X Change
Imagine if Gates could get pregnant and we had to deliver them through our pee holes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, just. We go on birth control.
Monet X Change
I know, but like, but with everything going on now, what if we couldn't go on birth control because they're fucking stopping. Stopping all types of contraception.
Bob the Drag Queen
If I had a son, I would strongly encourage him to get a vasectomy.
Monet X Change
Irreversible 100.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'd be like, you should really. Actually, I need to talk to. Came in about getting a vasectomy.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. How is Cam Cam doing?
Bob the Drag Queen
He's doing pretty good. He had a job interview recently. I need to call him, see how I went.
Monet X Change
So I know you don't watch Love is Blind. Let me try to give you the quick thing. I want to know your response to this. So this couple, right? You know the general concept of the show, right? They're in the pause.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't see each other. You're dating just by your voice, right?
Monet X Change
So. But it's really intense. Cause for people to know, like, cry
Bob the Drag Queen
all the Time, huh? This show does always make you cry.
Monet X Change
It makes me cry in the beginning. Cause the beginning is so sweet. And then so there's a couple, but it's really intense. Cause you're dating these people, Roberta for like eight hours a day for a week straight. So it's like, it's very intense. Or two weeks straight. Anyway, so you propose something. This couple, they're in the pods, they seem really sweet. They're like on the same level in terms of religion, blah blah, blah, blah blah. Everything is there to me. They're like the number one couple. They're so beautiful. That was the one I cried about on my, on my, on my thing. Come to find out. And they were like. And he's like, yeah, like when we get like I can't wait for us to have kids together. Do you have kids? No, I don't have kids. Yeah, no, we, we don't have kids. I want to have three and four kids. Cut to when they get out. So you, after you propose, you meet each other. Then you go on a week long vacation and then you go into real world for two weeks and live together. They living together at this point. So now they know each other for technically three weeks at this point. Come to find out he has three kids out in the real world. But allegedly they were. He donated sperm to a fertile to a friend to have these children. Cause she's in a lesbian relationship. But the question, his spouse, his fiance was like, have you, do you have interaction with these kids? No, I've never seen him. Come to find out. He's spending holidays with everybody. He's having holidays. There's holiday pictures with them. They're going out and about. He's like a part of these kids life. So again I think it's not damning that you're doing this, but lying about it when I've known you for three weeks. That's the crazy part. What would you do?
Bob the Drag Queen
That is very true.
Monet X Change
If you're agreeing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would just ask why he was lying. Baby, why did you feel the need to lie about this? I don't care that you're in the kids lives. I just want to know are you actively their father just in their lives as a, as an adult male figure? And then I'm like, well, I don't know what I can trust because I don't know what's, what's true anymore. Like you've proven to me now that
Monet X Change
you, you lie lying so big at the onset of our relationship to me that is a major red flag. They're not like little. Little lies. Like, yeah, I don't. I don't pick up the dog's poop sometimes, or I let the weak go by the laundry. But you lied about having children, and then you lied about being in their life. Like, that's. That. That is a major lie.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. And it's. And it's. And it is. It is certainly odd behavior. That is a red flag. Like, why would you lie about that? I just. I would rather you hurt my feelings with the truth than lie to me with the truth. And I will have been lied to.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I think he was afraid that being honest, she'd be like, I don't want to. I don't want to go through with the marriage. But now they're married. They're locked in. But social media is clowning her. Cause they're like, girl, all these red flags. You're staying with this man. And in the reunion, she's basically like, we're in love. Like, we spoke about it. Like, he. Whatever. And she's like, it's all cool.
Bob the Drag Queen
So let's put it to the test. Let's say if you found out that me and Jacob actually were never dating. It started as a big joke. Because imagine me having a part. Cause you know, I was always, like, single, and it was just. And it just got too serious. And Jacob and I have actually never, ever been dating. And we just told you. How would you feel?
Monet X Change
I would feel very betrayed. I would not believe that you lied to me, so. Cause it wouldn't be like the little lie. It's like, bitch, this is a deep lie. You've been going on this lie for how many years now? Six years?
Bob the Drag Queen
Almost eight years.
Monet X Change
Eight years. It's a major part of your life, and you've been lying about it like that. It'll make me question everything about you.
Bob the Drag Queen
But it's kind of funny, though, right?
Monet X Change
No, it's not funny.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, but it's kind of a good bit. Like, I kept it going for so long.
Monet X Change
No, it's not a good bit.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. But think about it, though. I was like, I got a boyfriend. And then I'm like, psych.
Monet X Change
You think? No, it's not a good bit. And it's not funny. I would be. I would never. I would never believe anything is home again. I don't know how we would be able to continue our friendship. Honestly, I really don't know how we. Like, that's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
That would be weird. That'd be very weird.
Jacob
That would be a bit. If he did it Multiple other times after and had like, multiple ones.
Bob the Drag Queen
That would be a great bit.
Monet X Change
If all of them were lie.
Bob the Drag Queen
If all of the partners were a lie. They're all just bits. It's so funny. No, but listen. You're not listening to how funny it is. Like, psych.
Monet X Change
Okay, Can I also, before we go. Straight men are such. There's such a specific type of crazy. And again, gays and queers, we do weird shit too. But the World Series happened. The Dodgers and the Lakers. What have whatever versus each other. The Dodgers won. Have you seen the video of this straight guy blowing up his hand?
Jacob
The Lakers is a basketball team, isn't it?
Monet X Change
Sorry. The Dodgers and the Yankees,
Bob the Drag Queen
The Clippers and the X Men went to the World Series.
Monet X Change
I'm going to send you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, you said he blew up his hand?
Monet X Change
Yes. I'm gonna send you this clip. Please watch it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is it graphic?
Monet X Change
Yes, it's graphic.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're sending it where?
Monet X Change
On our Facebook thing. And I guess we probably can't put it on the video. Cause we'll get. Fucking demonetize the house down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah. But y'. All, those of you who want to know, by the time this episode's up, you will have. It is heavily. Listen, I will put a warning at the beginning of it. The Earwax video has been heavily requested on the Patreon. If you want to see my Earwax removal, I am putting it up on the Patreon. There will be a forewarning beforehand, but it is crazy.
Monet X Change
Please make the COVID photo not the air. The COVID picture needs to be something, not that.
Bob the Drag Queen
It'll just say the Earwax video coming up or something.
Monet X Change
Wait, did you watch the video?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, not yet.
Monet X Change
I can't even watch it, but you're
Bob the Drag Queen
gonna make me watch it.
Monet X Change
It came up on my Twitter and when I saw what happened, I immediately threw my phone down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Twitter allows this twirl.
Monet X Change
My Twitter is a disaster zone.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, the video's gone. It's been taken down.
Monet X Change
Oh, shit. Well, I know it says this somewhere out there. That. So he's like. He's like, yeah, the Dodgers won. He gets. I think it's a firecracker or something. And he lights it and he's trying to drop, but he doesn't. And it blows up in his hand, y'.
Bob the Drag Queen
All.
Monet X Change
He lost. Sorry. Trigger. Warning. Graphic. Graphic. Graphic. He loses his entire hand. It's just like the thumb and this part left and it's just blood gushing. It is.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just don't understand. Why wasn't he not Able to drop the firework.
Monet X Change
I think the firework. It blew up faster than he anticipated. Like, the fuse, I guess, just was. Instead of being like a cartoon, it was like. And it just blew up.
Bob the Drag Queen
And was he celebrating?
Monet X Change
So I think his body was in shock. So what happens that he runs inside of the building and he's like. He's not even screaming yet because he's in shock.
Bob the Drag Queen
Does he have fingers?
Monet X Change
No, the hand is gone.
Bob the Drag Queen
I saw a video of a guy who got really drunk and fell off the back of a boat and lost everything beneath the knee in the rudder. And he was drunk, and he was like. He was like, this is getting gross, y'. All. He was like, what? This? Also, can we. Before we go, I will say this. This is a call out.
Instacart Advertiser
Maybe.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm calling you in, Dr. Pimple Popper. Go back to pimples, babes. Go back to pimples. It's disgusting. It's surgery she's doing. She's basically doing C sections at this point on the page.
Monet X Change
What is it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Go back to pimples. We want to see you pop pimples. We don't want to see you removing tumors. She's. She's cutting out cyst with a knife.
Monet X Change
This is my theory. Like, it's never enough. Like, she had this big pimple community, and people wanted more. They wanted crazy. They wanted it bigger. They wanted it bigger. Better than uncut.
Bob the Drag Queen
We want pimples. We want little itty bitty pimples. We want you to get blackheads off with that little circle. I tried using a tool. I don't know if.
Monet X Change
Because I'm just not obviously an esthetician or whatever, that tool. I cannot make that tool work.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what I use when my nose gets really, like, a bunch of sebaceous filaments? I just use an oil cleanser.
Monet X Change
You saw that in a video somewhere, so stop acting like you knew. Sebaceous filament.
Instacart Advertiser
No.
Monet X Change
Someone.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. Yes. I stumbled upon the information. Sebaceous filament. But that is what it's called. It's called a sebaceous filament. And. And someone told me, just use oil cleanser on your nose. And honestly, smooth.
Monet X Change
What, so you put it on there and it just pops up itself?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you just put it on there. And because they're made of oil themselves, the oil is mixing, and then it gets it all out. So if you just use, like, soap and water or some other kind of cleanser that doesn't have oil in it, your nose will still feel rough, but I use this. And now it is just so fucking smooth.
Monet X Change
An oil cleanser. Interesting.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, oil cleanser. A foaming oil.
Monet X Change
Here's my question. You answer my question. So you put it on there. And what do you like, do this then or you just like.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I rub it. I rub it and then I scratch it.
Instacart Advertiser
Huh?
Bob the Drag Queen
Scratch it and I rub it again. Do it twice.
Monet X Change
Do you know when you said sebaceous filament, it made me. It took me back to that time you try to act like you knew the word for. What is it? Peroxy. For the study of astrology.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's called trilogy and the study of rocks.
Monet X Change
And I do know that word. And I do know that word you try to pass on to trilogy and
Bob the Drag Queen
it's the study of rocks and I do know that word. And you're mad. And on that note, say it with me. Thank you for coming on my show.
