Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways 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 it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment

Bob the Drag Queen
On this week's episode, I unveil Nicole Byers twin sister Nicole Byers.
Monet X Change
We continue our series of Every Rude Girl Part eight.
Bob the Drag Queen
And we find out what made Monet say this.
Monet X Change
Listen to the Bobism Monet. I don't claim to know the geopolitical rules of immigration law. And we find out what made Bob say this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Truly from Brooklyn, not pretend like some people who moved to New Jersey and moved to Atlanta. And moved to St. Lucia for a collected total of 12 years. A person who's actually born and raised in New York City and stayed there until she did drag race. A real New Yorker. I just got five of you. The reason I'm cutting in because I like. You're always starting off with a singing.
Monet X Change
We have to do a clap slate first.
Bob the Drag Queen
Boy, I'm trying to stop. You're, like, always trying to come in with a different clap slate. One, two, three.
Monet X Change
I'll count. You counted last time. One, two. Oh, Snyder's not gonna clap. Also, I heard a note from our.
Bob the Drag Queen
We can't not do a clap slate, Monet. You can't.
Monet X Change
No, no, no. I heard from our editor. We don't need to do it at the same time. So I can do my own Cl. 1, 2, 3. Bitch, that's me. Do you do your own?
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't have to do it. What?
Monet X Change
We don't have to do it together. Do you read the emails, Tamar?
Bob the Drag Queen
That doesn't sound accurate, but whatever.
Monet X Change
Do you read the emails, Tamar?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't. I have someone do it for me. Cause I can't read.
Monet X Change
You are so proud.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause I can't read. What's wrong with not being able to read? Should I be ashamed because I can't read? So I should be ashamed now?
Monet X Change
Yeah, you should.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow. It's about how the education system failed me. I did not fail the education system. The education system failed me. And I can read, by the way. I'm actually halfway decent. I'm actually not a quick reader. Read slowly.
Monet X Change
I'm not a quick reader either. I don't read very quickly. I read at a.
Bob the Drag Queen
When words on the TV screen, I be in panic mode.
Monet X Change
Okay, well, that's not me. I can read those.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, the epilogue in a movie. I'd be like, Star Wars.
Monet X Change
You're like, when? What I was gonna say. Oh, but when it comes to. But reading does make me sleepy, though. Does reading make you sleepy?
Bob the Drag Queen
It does, but I want to say, is it like a thing in our brain?
Monet X Change
Are we just wired differently?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. I don't know. Probably. It's probably something. Probably something to do with being read to his children at a time of sleep. Maybe the reason why I try to stop you from singing at the top of every episode, which you were, like, obsessed with doing, is because Monet. Stop trying to copy off of the read. Okay.
Monet X Change
Do they. They don't sing at the end. At the beginning of every episode.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you not listen? Do you not listen to The.
Monet X Change
Okay, hold on, hold on. It also takes your brain power to interpret letters your eyes see and convert them into words. As your brain works hard and your eye muscles tire, it's natural they would need rest, causing your eyes. So. Nigga, you fall asleep when you're reading. Cause your brain is working on overtime. Your fucking brain is on power drive.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, we've already acknowledged that. I read slow, and it's hard for me to read. What of it? This has been well documented, established. It is hard for me to read, and I read very slowly.
Monet X Change
So exercise that brain a little more. Less talking, more reading.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've been reading my whole life. Reading is very. Some people just have a hard time reading. So you got me, Monet. You shut me down.
Monet X Change
Yes. You made.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have a learning disability. You ate me up with that one.
Monet X Change
What's the. What was the plan? What's the thing you read the last time? You may trot me down into history with your words and twisted lies.
Bob the Drag Queen
But what I'm saying is, money, they do open up every episode. They sing. Do you not like Kid. Why do you hate Kid Fury? This is crazy.
Monet X Change
First of all, I love Kid Fury. He is very beautiful, and he's very funny. I was onto Kid Fury back in the day when we were gonna do. When we were gonna do that number that I was putting together, and I was like, bob, we need to do this candy number, the Candy Crush. Cause he had a Candy Crush rant on his YouTube. And I made a whole number, y'. All. Well, let me tell. Oh, let me tell you this story. And I've told this story. So Bob was back in town, and Trixie. Trixie Pixie Aventura and I used to do the Help. And then Pixie was going away, and Bob happened to be in town, like, you know, from work. He already had been cast on Drag Race and was working and touring, and he happened to be in town. I was like, oh, pick these out this date. Can you do the Help with me? He was like, yeah, sure. We need to get a. Like, we need to, like, create a number, though. So, like, I'm like, adbob's old house at 945Amsterdam. And we're sitting down, and I'm like. I'm like, oh, we could do something about, like, Candy Crush. Like this, like, candy. Cause Candy Crush was really big back then. Oh, my God, we're dating ourselves Od Wee Bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not saying nothing.
Monet X Change
Candy Crush was really big. So then. So I'm like, I find, like, this, like, the Kid Fury had this like really, really, really funny candy Crush rant on YouTube. So. So I ripped the whole video. And I'm inter splicing that with, like, different Kandi numbers. Like Katy Perry song. All numbers about Kandy.
Bob the Drag Queen
And what song about Katy Perry by Kandy? California Girls?
Monet X Change
No. Or maybe not. Someone has some. I don't remember. It was a bunch of Kandy songs. And then I finished making the whole mix, and Bob was, you know, Monet, I just think we should do. I'm not feeling it. I don't like it. We should do something else. I was like, bitch, I just spent like three hours making this mix. And Bob vetoed the whole thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was very Monet offering me a mix that was incredibly complicated with songs I did with a monologue I did not know, asked me to learn it a few hours before the show. It was like, let's do it. Maybe that's how you do your performances. But I'm not interested. Personally. No, thank you. I don't know it either. And we. And we've seen. We know that you. We know that you will go and lip sync even on national tv, not knowing words. And Nicole and.
Monet X Change
And.
Bob the Drag Queen
And Nicole Byers clocked you on that. And you know what? At first I was. I. At first I stood by you, but now I stand. I stand with Nicole Byers. You didn't know the words. Okay? You didn't know the words.
Monet X Change
You will add an S. She is one buyer. She's got multiple buyers.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't know how many Nicole's are in her family.
Monet X Change
She has no clue.
Bob the Drag Queen
She had a twin sister named. Also named Nicole Byers. So they are the Nicole Byers.
Monet X Change
Jingle balls, Squid games. Nicole Byers. You are.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was saying Nicole Byers opinion the other day.
Monet X Change
Bob came over here. He was like, what? You keep on saying, I'm a hood bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm a hood. You a hood bitches. s. Not a hood bitch.
Monet X Change
You are a hood bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was literally sitting in the back seat of Monet's car eating popcorn. Just literally, by the way, just eating popcorn.
Monet X Change
We went to see Color Purple on Christmas morning. And then so Bob is. I picked Bob up, brought him to the movie theater. I drive him back home.
Bob the Drag Queen
So we're riding back home. This nigga is just in the back
Monet X Change
of the backseat of the car, just.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, girl. Because. Why was I in the back seat, Monet?
Monet X Change
Oh, my God.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why was I in the back seat, purple Monet?
Monet X Change
Because you were the first stop. You. Everyone knows when you. When you're dropping People off.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why was I in the backseat?
Monet X Change
The first person who's getting off sits in the back. Because it'll mix. Because then if you were in the front seat and to get up and get out. That doesn't make any sense.
Jacob
So who's in the front seat,
Bob the Drag Queen
Andy? Jacob. Have you ever seen the back seat while Monet is in the front seat? Jacob?
Jacob
Never.
Monet X Change
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob, you sit in the back seat.
Monet X Change
That is not true. Y' all are lying.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, Jacob has sit in the backseat while Mace sits in the front seat plenty of times.
Monet X Change
Well, that's not true. First of all, you have rarely given me a ride anywhere. Let's talk about that.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's because you're never on time, and I don't have time to wait for you.
Monet X Change
I'm never on time. That is not true.
Bob the Drag Queen
Come by, I pick you up. You're, like, literally pussyfooting around, Bob.
Monet X Change
You are literally making sure that you are.
Bob the Drag Queen
And they saying, color Purple. Pull on my laugh and slap your ass. Pull on my laugh and slap your ass.
Monet X Change
It's gr. Okay, last thing before we get into the Queens. Oh, my God. Danielle Brooks. So I got to go to, like, a little thing. I first saw the Color Purple, the new one, the musical. I mean, the movie musical that came out on Christmas Day. Todrick had, like, a special screening, and then so I went with him to go see it at a thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
You went with who? I'm kidding. I love Todd.
Monet X Change
And was this, like, such a screen? Like, Oprah was there? Like, the entire cast? Oprah. Everyone was there, and they did, like, a talk back afterwards.
Bob the Drag Queen
You met Oprah?
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, you met her or you just in the room Her?
Monet X Change
No, she was just in the. I didn't meet her. I just met her. I mean, I was in the room with her. I did not meet her.
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet X Change
Does she look rich?
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what?
Monet X Change
In real life, Oprah just looks like a normal black lady. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, sometimes you see, like, some people look rich. Does she not look rich? Some people, like, they look rich.
Monet X Change
Like, I saw Michelle Obama, like, walking at Essence, and I was like, that. She looks like a rich woman. Like, she just looks. She just exudes wealth and not that, obviously, we all know Oprah is a billionaire, but Oprah doesn't give, like. I don't know. It just wasn't the same energy. But anyway, she looks. She looks amazing. She looks incredible. And, Danny, this is my second time seeing it. Danielle Brooks.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, who looked rich there? Who in the cast looks rich?
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. This I feel like, this is so problematic to talk about, you know, I
Bob the Drag Queen
mean, you don't have to answer the question. You can just say, I don't care.
Monet X Change
I mean, who looks rich?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, they all. You know, who's been looking extremely opulent lately? Fantasia. Bruno has been looking incredibly up her go guys.
Monet X Change
Her.
Bob the Drag Queen
On this press tour, every look, it's a banger after banger after banger. Her looks are incredible. She looks like she spent a lot of money to look the way she looks.
Monet X Change
Because as Taraji, let us know these. These ladies. So when you go to do press, like, you get paid to do your film. There is not a budget or not that I'm aware of a budget to do press. Right? So when you are doing. After you film the movie, you get paid. Your. You get paid. Terrence Howard, he got paid his $12,000 for hustle and Flow when he had to go do the promo for the movie to go do all the interviews and flying to different premieres in different cities. I think they play for your flights and stuff. But to get like your. Your hair, your looks, your makeup, all that stuff is under. Artist pays for that out of pocket. Like, that is not confirmed. Say it again.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can confirm. I mean, when you. When you. When y' all did all that promo for All Star seven, were you paid for any of those looks?
Monet X Change
Right? No, no. You pay for all that yourself.
Bob the Drag Queen
They buy your hotel, they buy your flight, but you do everything else yourself.
Monet X Change
Everything else.
Bob the Drag Queen
And they'll get you the hotel to the. To the thing, too. Yeah, yeah.
Monet X Change
They get you from the hotel to the. To the event or to the press, whatever it is, and then back. But everything else is your own on your own dime. And if you have a hair and. And glam team that you trust that you want to like in, because you don't want to gamble on trusting some from North Hollywood. Like, you're like, I'm gonna fly my own team because, like, I know what the quality of the work is and that's what I want to co sign on. And this is going to be very big. It's going to be seen by a lot of people. Like, you know, you. You fly that into.
Bob the Drag Queen
So Jeremy Carey did the All Stars 2 promo out of drag. He did the whole thing out of drag. Jeremy Carey.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
Bob the Drag Queen
He did almost entire promoter drag. All right, we should. We should hop into our. Sorry. Give. Give Danielle her flowers. Then we chop into our topic.
Monet X Change
Yes. Danielle Brooks is a. She is. I'm just in awe of her talent. I saw her On Broadway doing it. The revival with Cynthia Erivo. She was fucking stellar then in this movie. She is Chef's Kiss. Amazing. So funny. So much range. She's just amazing. And so. And Colman Domingo also fucking. I love Colman Domingo. What a talented actor. And to get. Get to witness them in such an iconic film was really dope.
Bob the Drag Queen
I echo that sentiment. We are getting back into every rude girl. Part nine. I want to say we are on. Is it eight? Which one is it? Jacob?
Jacob
Eight.
Monet X Change
We're kind of like. We're kind of like one back. Like, we just. We're about to do season nine. And this is part eight.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, part eight. We are on season nine of RuPaul's Drag Race. We are going to talk about the wig wizard, the witch of the Lockes, Ms. James Mansfield.
Monet X Change
Jaymes Mansfield. I like Jaymes Mansfield.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think I've ever.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, I did. I met her with you. Well, you probably met her before, but we met her together at the Trixie Hotel. Trixie
Bob the Drag Queen
Motel.
Monet X Change
Trixie Motel party thing that they had in Palm Springs. That's when I first met her in, like, irl. She is.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's Mexican. She's from Wisconsin. Maddie. Wisconsin.
Monet X Change
James. James. A Mexican.
Bob the Drag Queen
She. She went Puerto Rican. She went European. She's Mexican. I thought she was. Yeah, she's Mexican. And. And she's.
Monet X Change
She's.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's. She's made a big name for herself in the. The wig space, specifically on YouTube. And her and I have had a lot of interactions because of the wig. Because of the. The infamous first impressions wig. Her and I, she recreated it and then I sent her the actual wig and then she restyled it and then she redid it in human hair. So I. I now have three versions of that wig. Three.
Monet X Change
That's three too many.
Bob the Drag Queen
And again, Marco, I'm so sorry that Monet is disrespecting your work like this. We. We'll cover that later, though.
Monet X Change
Whoa. She shares a birthday with Monet. Exchange. Me and James Manson have the same birthday.
Bob the Drag Queen
And Jacob. Excuse you.
Jacob
And Victoria Justice.
Monet X Change
Who the is Victoria Justice?
Jacob
She's from the tv. She's from, like, one of those. It was like Nickelodeon or something. It was like the TV show Victorious.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're victorious, Bob.
Sponsor/Commercial Voice
You don't even know.
Monet X Change
You just repeating what Jacob said.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nickelodeon show Victorious.
Monet X Change
Anyway.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is she not Jacob?
Jacob
It might not be Nickelodeon, but yeah,
Bob the Drag Queen
it might not be Nickelodeon. She also reviewed the Momo palette for us on her page. So shout out to her and you're going to Maybe there'll be another palette coming your way.
Monet X Change
Yes. James. Okay. Yeah. James went home pretty early in season nine. She was 14th place in season nine,
Bob the Drag Queen
but she did pretty well on All Stars, though.
Monet X Change
Yeah. And All Stars, she was seventh place.
Bob the Drag Queen
An image burned into my mind of James Mans was her doing a little front rollover that is burned into my brain.
Monet X Change
On the. On the. On the cheerleading challenge. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm.
Monet X Change
Drag Race needs to bring back physical challenges like that. I'm so mad. I never got to do a physical challenge like that. Not the season four wrestling one or the season nine tumbling one.
Bob the Drag Queen
From what I understand, there's a reason why they're not doing that. That cheerleader, apparently, it was. It was probably dangerous, but shout out to James Mansfield and her little voice. Her voice. She's someone who changes her voice in drag. You know what, Bob? Squeak. She does.
Monet X Change
I'm gonna try changing my voice in drag.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you do the squeak? No. Like, have you heard her squeak?
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait. Let's. Let's do maybe an edit pause. I want Monet to look up the squeak and see if she can do it. I can't do it.
Monet X Change
Let's take a little break. We're gonna find a squeak, and we'll be right back.
Bob the Drag Queen
I couldn't find the squeak, but I did find Jane Mansfield in this week. I. I didn't realize that squeak was from Jane Mansfield. I didn't realize that.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, she's very. She's. I. I wouldn't say James is a period. I mean, her character is obviously based off of that person, but I don't feel like her drag is, like, trapped in this era like that. From the new season. The season 16.
Bob the Drag Queen
Robbie Turner.
Monet X Change
No.
Jacob
Plasma.
Monet X Change
Plasma.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought I said from my era.
Monet X Change
No, I said the. I literally said the season 16 bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh. If they say. I don't know why I felt. Whatever. But James's aesthetic is very. One of my favorite things.
Monet X Change
You do A lot of people, like, whatever. Not the point anyway. You love a whatever. Another point.
Bob the Drag Queen
Anyway, let's go on to Kahmora Black, who is such an interesting. She's like an enigma to me.
Monet X Change
Why?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. Before she. Before on Drag Race, she was just so, like, interesting. And, like, her. Her, like, out of drag Persona was, like, so butch and, like. Was it tattoos and, like, kind of, like.
Monet X Change
I don't think butch. I remember Kimora Black was someone people were. Were speculating about being on the show for a while, but she had a lot of tattoos and stuff. I wouldn't say she was butch, though. She was always pretty fat.
Bob the Drag Queen
But it was in pictures. It was like. It was like a lot of this, Like, a lot of like.
Monet X Change
Oh, was it. I don't remember, actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, a lot of like. And she's non binary and she. Yeah, she. She's so interesting to me. She's just so interesting to me.
Monet X Change
Well, a big thing on her, on her season. People like, you're fake. Your cheeks are fake. They're filler. Filler, whatever. And then she, like, showed, like, either she showed pictures of her when she was younger or she showed, like, pictures of, like, her family and stuff. And people like, she's like, no, girl. This is what the cheeks like. She's like, I'm. I'm. I'm. I don't know what she is. What country. She said her family Vietnamese. Vietnamese. She was like, my family is Vietnamese American, and this is how our motherfucking cheeks look.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is that how plastique family looks?
Monet X Change
I don't know. I've never seen Plastique's family.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is that how plastique looks?
Monet X Change
No, but maybe plastique is an anomaly.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I obviously don't have any strong opinion about whether or not Kimora has had any. Apparently you do. No, I'm just saying, like, I don't know that Vietnamese is like, I don't. Was she like, this is how Vietnamese people look? Because I don't know that Vietnamese people look like. Like they've had work done. Like, I went to school. Like, again, Atlanta has a very high Vietnamese population. Like, a lot of the Asian people in Atlanta are Vietnamese. I grew up around a lot of Vietnamese people, and I don't particularly remember, like, oh, this is how Vietnamese people look. Maybe it's. Maybe she meant, like a specific ethnicity within Vietnam.
Monet X Change
I think she was. I think she was just saying her family. She, like, this is how my family looks.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, the way you pitched it was like, this is how Vietnamese people look. That's why I. I haven't heard her say this. I thought.
Monet X Change
No, no, no. She was saying, like, she was like, I'm Vietnamese American and this is how my family look. Like, this is how we look. I'm not saying that all Vietnamese people. She's saying, like, this is. I'm Vietnamese American and this is how we look.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like two separate things.
Monet X Change
Just.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, and on a side note, to anyone wondering, I'm Vietnamese now, let's talk about something completely separate. This is how my family looks. Have you seen a clip of Michael Jackson? They're like, you had your nose done no, Chin, stop it. Have you seen this?
Monet X Change
No. Oh, God. Well, we cannot pause every five minutes for you to find a video.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, but I want you. I want you to know what I'm talking about.
Monet X Change
Oh, God.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait. So people are using it online, and it's just Michael Jackson big. Like, they're like, you've had your nose done. No, stop it. And he's like, calling out all the procedures that he feel like Michael Jackson had done. Oh, my God. Of course. Of course. I can't find it.
Monet X Change
You have got to put the phone down. You are Delulu.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because I want. Here. It is changed.
Jacob
Haven't you.
Bob the Drag Queen
The photographs of you, if I look at them. No, it's called adolescence. It's called growing and changing. Yeah, but even the shape of your face has changed. It has not. I've had no plastic surgery on my face. Just my nose. It helped me. You've had plants in your cheeks. Oh, God. You've had a dimple made in your chin.
Jacob
You've had your lips enlarged.
Bob the Drag Queen
You've had your eyelads reconstructed eyelids reconstructed.
Jacob
Stupid.
Bob the Drag Queen
None of it's true. None of it's true. So that I. I feel like that was what it was with her. Be like, no, it's. It's stupid. I mean, it's true. None of it.
Monet X Change
She's definitely had some body work done. I mean, we're. Kamora has. No, I mean, her body. She don't talk about her body. That is not her ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, she said she's never had anything done. All I'm. I don't know. All I'm saying is she says, And they were. They were. I don't know if you remember this. They were going down her whole body. She kept being like, no. Then she goes, I don't remember. Did I? No, I don't think I did. I haven't had any. I don't think I've had anything done.
Monet X Change
I don't remember this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you remember this?
Jacob
J. It might have been untucked, but this definitely happened.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, they were like, you didn't have ass or anything. She goes, no, I don't think I've had anything.
Monet X Change
See, I, I, I. The bar is working at. We could not afford.
Jacob
And Trinity was there. And Trinity was like, come on, girl. I know work when I see it.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. That's what it was. Yeah. But she got. I mean, obviously, I don't know if Kimora's had anything done, but she said. She said she had nothing done.
Monet X Change
No way. This bitch has not had her.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's Stupid. It's stupid. Come on. No, nothing. She also famously did not wear. Had never done drag without hip pads ever. And she did them on the show one time. I think she, like, cried because she. She was like, I'm so. I feel so brave to have. Not to have done drag without my hip pads. And everyone was like, this is wild. And then the outfit she got eliminated in Alaska, bought it on. On. On ebay auction. It was that.
Monet X Change
It was that, like, that white. Like a. Like a sailor outfit, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
It was a fur. Something furry. It looked like fur. It was like a. Fur pieces and like fur pelts in some sort of a. Maybe Jake can find elimination outfit, but
Monet X Change
it means your favorite Bob's favorite queen. A queen. What makes that story about y' all on the cruise ship? I'll never forget it.
Bob the Drag Queen
The serve of me regaling how much I loved her. No, me and Charlie did have awkward run in. She did. She did DM me. I never responded to it being like, I would love to clear this all up. And I was like, I think I'm clear.
Monet X Change
Charlie Hydes was the oldest. I think she wanted the oldest contestants who's ever competed on Drag Race, Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
For America.
Monet X Change
She was 50 when she competed. She is now.
Bob the Drag Queen
She also claims to be the only Charlie Hydes in the world, which is so interesting.
Monet X Change
Say it again.
Bob the Drag Queen
She also claims to be the own. The only Charlie Hides in the world, which is so interesting to me. That's an interesting.
Monet X Change
I mean, that's. Honestly, it's fierce. I mean, I'm the only Monet change in the world. That's fierce.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's born in. On July 12, 1964. She's 59 years old, and she lives in the UK, so she's also the first queen who lived in the UK to compete in America because she clearly has some sort of dual citizenship. Actually, I don't know. That's. That's not clear. I'm assuming she. Their pronouns are. They still has American.
Monet X Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Charlie's.
Monet X Change
They.
Bob the Drag Queen
Them. Oh, well, they. They seem to be. Have they. See, I think they have, like, dual citizenship or maybe because they're American.
Monet X Change
Let me say, Bob will make. Bob will make up. Bob will make up a story about these. Like, she's actually a dual American Irish because she was born by way of France.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, she's. She's. She lives in the uk, so she's obviously a citizen of the uk. You don't.
Monet X Change
You don't have to be a citizen to live there.
Bob the Drag Queen
And she's American. Well, but she can work there. So she. Well, she has family, live non citizens. Okay, well I. Okay, I don't know. I say there. No, I can't. Okay. I don't understand all the immigration laws of the uk I'm assuming that she's a UK citizen. I do not know this, but I do know that she is an American living in the uk That I can say.
Monet X Change
I don't claim to know the geopolitical rules of immigration law.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I don't know. But I do know if I move to the UK and become a citizen there, I still am a citizen of the United States. Right?
Monet X Change
Yeah, you can.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't revoke my U.S. citizenship. I can come back and live here.
Monet X Change
Does she have a British accent?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm a British guy. No, she's not British.
Monet X Change
Madonna wasn't British. She had a British accent. What's your point?
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, and you're not Jamaican, but you have to make an accent. So now what?
Monet X Change
But Charlie Hyde, she had a very iconic send home because she just literally it was her versus Trinity and she just stood there.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do something, Charlie.
Monet X Change
If y' all are did not watch season nine, it's worth just going back to watch the episode of Charlie Hyde's lipstick in the bottom because it was honestly one of the saddest things I've ever seen on the show. She just stood there.
Bob the Drag Queen
Apparently, according to other girls. It is confirmed that she did.
Monet X Change
How did she bring.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, from the.
Monet X Change
From the cheerleading thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cheerleading. A broken. And a broken rib.
Monet X Change
Oh, right.
Bob the Drag Queen
Eureka. O' Hara broke her knee on the. On the. Dislocated her knee, girl. That's why they're not like bring back more cheering stuff. Also, Charlotte Hydes is another serial blackface artist. She's another one. She did it. The difference is I don't know that Charlie Hides. Well, maybe she. I think Charlie has done some atoning or something. But Charlie Hides also was doing it like really, like really recently. Like, like I think she was doing it like either like right before or right after she filmed Drag Race, which is wild.
Monet X Change
That's kind of wild. Not, not, not, not.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not.
Monet X Change
Charlie Hides and Shane Dawson and Justin Trudeau. This all Ken.
Bob the Drag Queen
So yeah, Charlie Hyde is. Is a. Is an interesting, interesting girly. And I'm probably going to get another DM from her and I will not answer. So Charlie Hides
Monet X Change
at after Drag Race that just disappear, right? Like like on. On a Robbie turn. I have never like has Charlie Heights posted recently. I want to go. Let me go see.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Charlize does Bingo. She's like. She has like a Whole bingo thing. She's like really big.
Monet X Change
Really big. And bingo.
Bob the Drag Queen
Digital bingo world and stuff. Charlie has.
Monet X Change
Oh yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Charlie Hyde has not disappeared. You just haven't seen her. Robbie Turner disappeared. Intention. Robert Turner is intentionally avoiding the public eye and Robbie Turner. I mean, sorry, what I meant to say was Robert Turner has intentionally avoided the public eye and Charlie Hyde. You just. She's just not in your Charlie Hyde.
Monet X Change
TV Posted six hours ago. A few weeks ago, while showing my neighbor the new sun Room, I joked, I'm going to pay one of the farmers across the valley to put up a sign so I can feel like I'm living in Hollywood on Christmas Eve. We got a text message. Look out your window. My 70 year old neighbor had erected a sign on his garden. Pergola of me in blackface in Hollywood.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't want to stop you, but this doesn't seem interesting. I don't know that this is like. I don't know. I want to hear this. What is this about? Wait, what? Wait, did you make that part last part up? Okay, I. I apologize. That is interesting. What is this on? Is this Instagram? What is this? Oh yeah, bitch. Don't read this born ass tweet or text. She's my favorite queen.
Monet X Change
No, I'm kidding. I'm done. I don't have anything to say about her.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's go on to a very talented but also low key, controversial drag queen. Eureka. And I think she dropped the o', Hara, actually.
Monet X Change
Wow.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think so. Yeah.
Jacob
Huge.
Monet X Change
Eureka.
Bob the Drag Queen
Eureka is from Johnson City, Tennessee. Eureka was my co star and we're here for three seasons.
Monet X Change
You mean your boss?
Bob the Drag Queen
Eureka was.
Monet X Change
Eureka was my boss. We all know that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, nice. Eureka was my co star. And we're here three time GLAD award winner, Eureka o'. Hara. Peabody Award winner, Eureka o'. Hara. And she is. Would you say she's probably the most famous queen from Tennessee?
Monet X Change
From Drag Race.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, from Drag Race. I mean, I think Bunny is the most famous queen from Tennessee.
Monet X Change
I'd agree. But from Drag Race it'll be Eureka. I mean, who else is from Tennessee
Bob the Drag Queen
part is the most funny.
Monet X Change
No. Drag. Drag, Drag Race or.
Bob the Drag Queen
That part's not doing drag. That person's doing drag.
Monet X Change
So you're Lady Bunny? Who else?
Bob the Drag Queen
This is crazy.
Monet X Change
Oh yeah, Cameron.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cameron Michaels. Damn you. You should. You should remember that name. And that's the name you should remember also. And you know why?
Jacob
It's Ora Mayari and Jaden Dior Fierce.
Monet X Change
Yeah, Ora Mayari, the bitch that you. You spent a whole season of Watari dragging her through the mud, calling her outfits dumb, silly. Yes, that was you. She literally wanted to block you.
Bob the Drag Queen
First of all, it wasn't a whole season. She was there for three episodes. How was it a whole season? How did I spend a whole season? You are so funny. How was it a whole season? Aura.
Monet X Change
I'm sorry.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm sorry.
Monet X Change
Aura.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is so mean. How was it the whole season? You tried to set me up and I took the bait and took the whole ship down. Bitch. Last night Monet took me to her. Took me to her. Well, actually, I drove myself there, actually, to her home. And I played a game which is called Secret Hitler. I wish it would call it something else. This is a fun game, but I just hate that it's called that. I hate that it's called that. Like, why is it called that? In fact, what's the after this?
Monet X Change
No, Jacob doesn't want to talk about Secret Hidden.

Monet X Change
Yeah, I don't know why. I don't know why they chose Secret Hitler. I mean, there is never a time that that would have been like. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe because it's like salacious. But like, even if they just called it Secret Fascist, I just don't know why, why, why, why, why does it have to be called Secret?
Monet X Change
Why?
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, Monet's a stakeholder. Monet is one of the creators.
Monet X Change
But it was a very fun game. And so the first round, we were playing the fucking game. I Knew that Bob was a secret fascist. And I'm trying to, like, hip everyone on Game, but Bob is so good at fucking conniving and deceiving these.
Bob the Drag Queen
These.
Sponsor/Commercial Voice
These.
Monet X Change
These fucking idiots. Everyone is like, oh, no, not Bob. I'm like, oh, my God, he is absolutely a fucking fascist. No one fell for it. Then the second game, then we had two people playing that were just chaos agents. They were just.
Bob the Drag Queen
They were.
Monet X Change
They were anti. It was. It was maddening to me, Doug.
Bob the Drag Queen
They were voting third party.
Monet X Change
They were just not helping their.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I clocked Monet. I immediately clocked Monet. Monet. And I was like, everyone, don't fall from all that. Does this thing hurt y'?
Monet X Change
All? Everyone listens to the sound of my voice.
Bob the Drag Queen
It is at this. Y' all gotta remember this time, not that. Everyone look at your phone. I said, everyone look at your phone and mark the time because you remember where you. What time it was. But I told you this was a fascist. This was a fascist. And that one is secret Hitler. And then at the end of the. This guy was like, yeah, but it was fun.
Monet X Change
It was a fun Christmas. Christmas get together.
Bob the Drag Queen
What? I just wish they would call it something else. There must have been someone else being like, guys, your game is so fun and it can really bring a lot of joy to party. But, like, why does that to be called this?
Jacob
Talk about the. The white elephant gift exchange.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God. The white.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. This is the very own thing with Eureka. O' Hara, the elephant queen, the white.
Monet X Change
Everyone.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you don't know.
Monet X Change
If you don't know what. Well, we call it. We called it an interracial elephant because
Bob the Drag Queen
when we say white elephant, we're not talking about Eureka. And to be clear, Eureka identified. Eureka is an elephant. She says she's the elephant queen. I'm not make. She's white and she says she's the elephant queen. I'm not. You don't want. You don't want. Excuse.
Monet X Change
None of us was.
Bob the Drag Queen
None of us said nothing.
Monet X Change
You was excited. You went like I was doing my Nicki. My Nicki Minaj impersonation. Anyway, so we did the interracial elephant party last night. Everyone brings a gift, and you get to take a gift. And then someone can either steal your gift or open up another random gift. So we go on the thing now when I do white elephants, I thought they had to be new things. I didn't know they could be used.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think you can make whatever you want. So they're usually either, like, you set a price limit, but this one was use things from your home, which Monet did not tell me, by the way. I just happened to randomly bring a youth item from my home. Monet did not tell me. Monet didn't tell me. It was a potluck. I came empty handed. I had no. I did not know this because Monet didn't send me the. The text. And Andy was like, I thought you were going to send Bob the flyer with the information. Monet did not tell me that. That it was supposed. I just lucked out and grabbed something from my home. Is. Am I lying or am I telling the truth? No, you're covering your face in shame because it's the truth.
Monet X Change
Rage.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay?
Monet X Change
Number one,
Bob the Drag Queen
rage at me. You didn't tell me I showed up with no food, Monet. I know. I would have went to the store and grabbed something. I showed up with nothing.
Monet X Change
Bob never made plans of spending Christmas with me. I did not know Bob was even gonna be in town three, four days ago. What are you doing? I was like. I was like, I'm home. He's like, I'm coming home tomorrow. I was like, oh, picking from the airport. I pick up Bob from the airport. Happily, a trip that Normally takes me 40 minutes took me an hour and 50 minutes because of the rain in LA, but I gleefully did it because I missed my best friend. I drove. I drove him home.
Bob the Drag Queen
Then why are you complaining? Then why are you complaining?
Monet X Change
I was like, oh, well, let's go to the movies. I was like, work. I was like, we have to go early because Andy and I are doing a white elephant. You want to come over? Music? Yeah, I'll come over for Christmas.
Bob the Drag Queen
Boom. Okay. All the information I was given, I wasn't thinking. All that information I was given also.
Monet X Change
It was such so last minute.
Bob the Drag Queen
So like that. What's that guy's name? The guy whose name I can't remember. It doesn't matter. Sand. Sandal. Anyway, because I happen to know that he got his invite last minute. But he knew to bring food. He knew to bring stuff from home. Yeah, he knew to bring food.
Monet X Change
I didn't know that.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't even.
Monet X Change
I was that gift. That invitation Andy sent to everyone. I didn't even get that. I wasn't even on that. Feeding mortgage on this. That's why
Bob the Drag Queen
we know Annie pays most of the mortgage. Do not even act like you have a bridge of kind.
Monet X Change
I want to tell you, first of
Bob the Drag Queen
all, what is the one tell y is first of all, Monat pays the mortgage on her home back in Brooklyn. Which is why. Which is why she can't pay the mortgage on this home as well. So Andy has co. Signed for this house and pay the mortgage.
Monet X Change
Okay. Uhhuh. Anyway, so we're doing this white elephant thing and then. So this. So, so this person, Svetlali made this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Huh. Interracial.
Monet X Change
Interracial elephant. So we're doing the gifting and then
Bob the Drag Queen
give me bleep his name because this part is shady. Bleep his name. Which part are you telling? The last one or the one in the middle where he shamed the gift? No, he won't care his name.
Monet X Change
No, I. You said him the one who made the gift. Okay. Yeah. So then Patrick, who is good friends. He's good friends with. Sorry, Andy. And now obviously I'm friends with Patrick, blah, blah, blah. So Patrick pulls up this thing and he opens it and it's like, I'm gonna go get it really quick actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
So while Monet is going to grab it, I will try to describe what happened. So he opens up the gift and as soon as he, he opens it, the, the very first words that come out of his mouth was, did some high schooler make this? Like, did. Did some high school student make this item? And, and then the guy who, who brought it said, actually I. I made it just last week. And then everyone, everyone at the party was like. Cause he was like, what? Untalented? No, like beginner ass, lame high school artist. What idiot did you guys bring this? Made this that you brought this from? And he was like, I made it. And I made it last week.
Monet X Change
Which honestly, it is in my opinion, one of the sweetest gifts of the night because like, this person made it with love. Like they made an actual thing. And I love it. I think it's really dope. We're keeping it. Like, I, I love this gift. I think it's very cool.
Bob the Drag Queen
It is cute. But him, the gifter and the gift, they were both looking crazy after that one. Thank God.
Monet X Change
It's a situation like us, right? Where immediately we started making light of it and making jokes about it to bring the temperature down in the room. Because I'm like, people who aren't funny, how do they handle stuff like this? Would it just be awkward after that?
Bob the Drag Queen
It probably would have been better to actually just move on and not cause a scene. It probably would have been better just to not say anything and then just let the guy go. I made it last week and then just kind of that be the end of it. But we low key were all like, oh, My God. Ate him up with that one. Ate him up. The library is open. So that happened.
Monet X Change
And then later Andy. So really right before everyone got there, I gave away some earbuds I had from her thing. And then so Andy comes down and he brings down a. A butt plug and he like is grabbed. I was like, what are you doing with that? He was like, I'm gonna put this for the white elephant. I was like, andy, you cannot.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was like.
Monet X Change
I was like, go get a brand. Go buy a brand new one. A used butt plug to a fucking.
Bob the Drag Queen
The whole thing is supposed to be for you, not a butt plug, Bob. You give used stuff. Well, someone wanted it. I will say this.
Monet X Change
Someone literally came back and grabbed it. Doug. Another person came with his mom, his like 70 year old mom from Brazil who doesn't speak a whole lot of English. And then so it's her turn. It's like towards the end, there are two gifts left. There's the idol was the butt plug and another gift bag. So then she goes and she. And she brought the gift bag. She wasn't going to open that one. So she opens the. She's unwrapping the. Andy is sitting there like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. And she's like trying to like.
Bob the Drag Queen
We have the footage, we have the film Andy.
Monet X Change
And she's like trying to like. She's unwrapping the thing and she reveals. She's like, oh my God. And she like, she goes like hit Andy with it. She's like, I can't believe she's like looking at Andy. She is. She is befouched. She is agreed that. Disgusted.
Bob the Drag Queen
Disgusted that these homosexuals over here just disgusting.
Monet X Change
And then the last person goes and he goes to open her gift and it's fully a purple dildo. She brought the dildo to the.
Bob the Drag Queen
She brought the dildo which is kind of iconic. Although before I get back to Rika, I would say I bought a great gift. I bought the Renaissance World tour photo book. All right, back to Eureka. Mona, you have any interesting experiences? Well, we really have not.
Monet X Change
You know, I bet Eureka on. I mean, I don't want to talk about Mike's because we're going to talk about later. Are we going to talk about her later? She's on season 10.
Bob the Drag Queen
What do you mean later?
Jacob
No, we only did Shangela once. We. So I think that was the time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. Yeah.
Monet X Change
So Eureka. I met obviously rika on season 10. Eureka was a lot of personality because Eureka had. I remember, okay, I remember us all Being, like, kind of gagged. Because Eureka had done Drag Race before. She was there, you know, for four episodes. She kind of knew, like, like, a little more than we did. Right. Like, all of us, we each brought, like, one outfit, one wig, like, for each thing where Eureka. Because she's done it before, she knew sometimes you want to swap things out. So she bought, like, multiples of things, and we were all like, that's an advantage because we don't have that luxury. We don't. We can't swap shit out because you've done it before. So you can, like, bring a whole. You can, like, swap things out and try this wig with this, where we were just all super like, this, this, this, this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because why didn't you have the option to bring multiple options?
Monet X Change
Do dragons before you realize that's a thing. But going into the first time, you're more conscious of the weights of your bag. Make sure they're all 50 pounds. And, like, you just, like, don't want to bring any extra things. You don't think it's allowed.
Bob the Drag Queen
But it's also pretty common for. It's not like Eureka is the first queen to come back. Like, it's pretty common for a queen for a queen to come back and have.
Jacob
The other thing I was also thinking about is Eureka, because she was on a season already. She, like, she did the season nine tours, and she started doing the show. So she also was working and had a lot bigger budget to spend on her outfits than the queens did because she came back.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, as we also know, too, lots of drag queens who go into Drag Race in the first season have bigger budgets than queens who are on the same season. You know what I mean? So, like, obviously all drag queens aren't starting at the same fiscal point. Everyone's not starting from the same amount of money.
Monet X Change
But Eureka, regardless, you know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Now, luckily, I didn't have anyone. I didn't have any returners on my team.
Monet X Change
Eureka was fine. She. I'm really sad I was not there for the her and Vixen fight. Like, because I was on stage in the bottom, I got to see it. But I now seeing how fierce, how, like, iconic it was, I'm just really sad I missed it.
Jacob
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
In the world. Be around for It
Sponsor/Commercial Voice
Happened.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you name that musical?
Monet X Change
No. I don't know. No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you name that musical in the Room Where It Happened?
Monet X Change
Is that Tony Rockstone?
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to be in the Room Where It Happened? Hamilton. Oh, Hamilton. I said musical.
Monet X Change
Well, you said you sound like you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Sound like you were doing a very Tony. Very Tony Braxton. I don't really have any stories about Eureka, to be honest. We've done some gigs and stuff. Eureka is also a professional queen. She's normally on time. Eureka is, like, ready to go. Like, she's one of. In my opinion, one of the professional queens.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Eureka. Eureka's had. She had some public controversy.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God.
Bob the Drag Queen
Around race stuff, which we've actually talked about on the podcast with Eureka, which we talk about on the podcast with Eureka, actually. And she's also. Yeah, we had on. We had her on the. The live episode that we did. And then we also had. She also has had a. A public struggle with substance abuse as well, which I think she's on. The men from Eureka, bless her. Let's move on to Aja, who is one of the truly fiercest performers I think I've ever met in my life. I mean, undeniably and by the way, truly from Brooklyn, not pretend like some people who moved to New Jersey and moved to Atlanta and moved to St. Lucia for a collected total of 12 years. A person who's actually born and raised in New York City and stayed there until she did drag race. A real New Yorker.
Monet X Change
You're frozen,
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob. Is he. I can't think.
Monet X Change
He's saying.
Jacob
No, he's not frozen for me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, well, you know, I'm not frozen for the listeners. They heard me, let's put it that way. So you'll have to just. You have to tune to the episode to find out what I said
Monet X Change
about Aja from when I first started in drag. That's when Aja, Momoshade and Be Ames, they were. They used to call them, well, Thorgen or.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right.
Monet X Change
They used to come around. That's back when Aja's name was Aja Injection. She would have. She would have syringes on all of her fingers.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was.
Monet X Change
I don't know why that was a thing. Where was she getting these syringes from?
Bob the Drag Queen
Probably the cvs, you know? Cause syringes don't all have needles in them.
Monet X Change
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
A syringe can have these same things.
Monet X Change
Oz Injection. And she used to, like, she was part of ballroom back then. And she was underage, of course. Aja was probably, what, like, 18, 19 back then. She used to come up to the clubs.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, girl. I met Aja before you. I met Aja when she was like, 16.
Monet X Change
Well, how. Let's see, how old is she now? I met Aja in 2012 and Aja is still 12. What's today. 2023, 11 minus.
Jacob
She was like, 17. I was 18 in 20.
Monet X Change
2012.
Jacob
And she's like a year older than me, so she was like, 17, 18.
Bob the Drag Queen
I met Aja before I met you. I knew Aja when she was literally 16 years old, sneaking into the club before B. Ames even moved to the city when B am. By the time B. Ames moved in, she was actually. Aja had really stepped it up and had really become, like, this, like, really fierce queen around New York City. Aja is also someone who's kind of had a bit of a back and forth with the world of Drag Race, and she's currently having it out with a lot of the fans over her opinions about. Who's the little duck walker.
Monet X Change
Oh, Anitra.
Bob the Drag Queen
Anitra.
Monet X Change
Because I can't remember quite where Anisha did the walk the fucking duck thing, the first challenge, and then, like, Aja, like, just critiqued it a little bit. Kind of very legendary Leomi. And people like, you're hating on her. You just wish you she had the career you wish you had. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was that kind of stuff.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I think that on Green Day or Green Gay, whatever their name, is that that page that does the video
Monet X Change
essays on Drag Race, heard of this person?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it's either Green Day or Green Gay, but they do video essays about Drag Race girls. You've probably seen one without realizing you've seen one, and it's more than likely in your recommended YouTube videos if you're, you know. Anyway. But the point is, he. He released a video about Aja and then Aja started getting, like, more hate again. Aja is one of the people who just kind of gets a lot of, in my opinion, unwarranted.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I think. I think that a lot of it started, though, because especially after All Stars 3, people were, like, really riding the Aja train. And then she wanted to focus on her music a lot. So she kind of, like, she started performing and just. She, like, chopped drag. And also she had her own gender identity and a lot of things going on with her own stuff. But I think people were like, there were, like, a few controversies where, like, gigs booked her and we don't know what the email said. Right. Or what the agreement was, but she showed up to the gig and they were expecting Aja, but they got her out of drag, performing her music, and people were like, wait, we wanted to see you jump off a box into a dip in your outfit. Like, so I think a lot of. A lot of it Started then.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I think that something about the Drag Race fandom, they really have a problem when you distance yourself from Dragon. If you say you don't want to do drag, they will fight you, they will turn on you, they will go bananas on you. I don't know if there's any other job in the world with you that if you quit, people are just gonna start fighting you. Besides the entertainment, it's like, girl, let this girl do Dragon. She want to drag her. Not the drag. She won't do drag. Leave this girl alone. But I was just also on Legendary as well. I was. I was there with her on Legendary, but I was in. I was on. I was. I was. I was not competing with Legendary. I was just there for one episode. But I. It was very amazing to see her there and, like, kind of have a shared moment. I've just been. I've been a big fan of Aja for a long time.
Monet X Change
Her music, look at Me Now. Lip sync is so iconic.
Bob the Drag Queen
Aja truly. Aja has truly amazing music. I cannot recommend you go listen to all this music. Enough. I'm telling you, do yourself a favor and listen to Look At Me Now. It is truly, truly amazing. Let's go on to Pheromone. Honey, I don't really know much about Pheromone.
Monet X Change
Pheromone and I, we're both on All Stars 4 together. Pheromone went home second. Did she. She have. She have your favorite little song?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God, look at her birthday.
Monet X Change
Martin Luther King birthday. Hold on. Her promo picture.
Bob the Drag Queen
Look at her birthday.
Monet X Change
Her promo. Look at her.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was so good.
Monet X Change
Oh, wow. She born on September 11th. Someone else was born on September 11th. Ginger Minj. Ginger Minj. Her season nine promo look was. And Taraji P. Henson, her promo look from season nine is one of. It was so beautiful and chic and sexy. That latex dress. I fucking love that promo look.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, she always looks stunning. She recently came out.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
She did, like, a really touching interview on.
Monet X Change
On. Give it to me straight with Maddie Morphosis.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maddie is honestly eating, and I can't even hold her. Maddie's eating down. Like, pheromone's only 30. Only because I feel like she's been around for so long. Not because I think she's old, but, like, I feel like I've been around. She's been around for so long. Like, and also the fact that that MySpace era aesthetic and, like, the Christina Aguilera is such a big part of her brand, I just assume she was, like, my age.
Monet X Change
Yeah, no, she's. She's 30 years old. She's from Houston, Texas. Oh, my God. Her and Beyonce from the same place.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really? She would have worked. Well, I don't know where she's living now. Vegas. Is she in Vegas now? No, I have no clue. But she vanished.
Monet X Change
Yeah, she did Pheromone. We did a Christmas tour together. It was a tour right after All Stars 4 or during All Stars 4. And I just remember Pheromone would. I think she. She would just get Schwaesty McShwesty on this bus and Farramone would just stay in her gig after. After the show in full geesh and just go out and party with the girls and then come back. And she would always just be crying in the front of the bus. Like, farrah, girl, what's going on?
Bob the Drag Queen
She's like, no. Yeah, literally crying. I like moaning or crying.
Monet X Change
Tears coming on her face.
Bob the Drag Queen
About what?
Monet X Change
Yeah, hungover. Things going on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Girl, didn't you say that Farrah used to. This is the one thing that come my head about this, that you said fairies. I used to be like, this is. Wow. He said, in Brooklyn does it too. They would just get IVs, I don't know, delivered.
Monet X Change
I don't know Brooklyn does that.
Bob the Drag Queen
And they were like, have IVs. I think Brooklyn said she does. I think Brooklyn somewhere. You didn't say Brooklyn, but I think Brooklyn went online and said that. Maybe. Maybe I made that about Brooklyn.
Monet X Change
I feel like Pheromone absolutely did it or said she did it a few times. She's better alone. So she just called an IV and they came and gave her an IV backstage to, like, rehydrate her.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's wild.
Monet X Change
Yes. Yeah. Fierce. That's honestly fierce.
Bob the Drag Queen
I haven't had an IV in a room. Did I have an iv?
Monet X Change
That's the thing, though. Like, a lot of people do that now. They do. They do hype. Like, that's like a thing. Like, there's. There's. It's. It's not even, like, rare.
Jacob
No.
Monet X Change
I see it all the time on people's social media. Like, IVs come and hydrate you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. To, like, certain people, I think. I think regular folks ain't getting.
Monet X Change
No, my friend. My friend Aritza, her brother has. Does that service and like, a lot of people, like, who, like, party in the city, like, they just get IVs, and it's like a. It's like a service. Like you just call like, like a Uber Eats, and they come to your apartment, they give you An IV
Bob the Drag Queen
isn't really like a big time producer or something. So you think Rich is just a regular, regular old person?
Monet X Change
I said her brother.
Bob the Drag Queen
Her brother. Her brother. I'm sorry, Ritza, I think you're from a quick.
Jacob
It looks like a IV is around 150 to 250, but if you want something bougie and fancy in it, it can go to 800. But like, it looks like standard water is between 150 and 250.
Monet X Change
What are they putting in?
Jacob
Whatever water. Whatever the stand. Maybe not water. Whatever the standard is.
Monet X Change
Jacob is giving alternative. It is not water in there.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's just water. It's not what's in an iv.
Monet X Change
Compound B.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's like sugar. IV therapy is a type of plastic bag that goes into the van and needle connected.
Jacob
All electrolytes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Jacob
So it is water.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why are you trying to climb electrolytes?
Monet X Change
Electrolytes.
Jacob
That's.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, but me and Jacobs had sugar water.
Monet X Change
You act like we were electrolytes and not sugar.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, this is just like. Just like. Just like the Coke brothers. Me and Jacob said sugar water. It is sugar.
Sponsor/Commercial Voice
Literally.
Monet X Change
Believe anything.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet. Shut the up. Your bits aren't good. Work on the bit. How about that? I don't have any interesting stories about Fairmont because I don't really know her that well, but she's. She seems lovely and she is. They did that weird. They did that weird bit with Christina Aguilera.
Sponsor/Commercial Voice
Oh.
Monet X Change
On.
Bob the Drag Queen
On season 10, the next season, the next thing. They were like, welcome back. Pheromone.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then came out. Yeah. That was such an interesting.
Jacob
They also had Pheromone come in the same outfit and meet Christina Aguilera backstage.
Monet X Change
Yeah, Bob,
Bob the Drag Queen
It doesn't change it. The bit is weird.
Monet X Change
Yes. One of my favorite.
Bob the Drag Queen
How about I a queen, honey.
Monet X Change
A beloved queen much. Valentina. Valentina. Valentina. She was a she subbed for Bob here on Sibling Rivalry podcast. Y' all should go back and listen to that episode. And she talks all about her hosting Drag Race, Mexico and et cetera. I just love Valentina. Valentina is definition, textbook, a class act. Just so graceful, so classy. Just. I just. I'm just. I'm just in awe of Valentina. Her poise, her grace, and doing All Stars 4 with her. We talked a lot about that stuff. Like the French Vanilla fantasy and all that stuff was Chef's kiss to, like, see her irl. And I'll just never forget how nice Valentina was to me when I joined Work the World for the first time I stepped in, and she was. She held my hand through a lot of it, and she was like, help me do choreo and stuff. So I fucking love Valentina. She's great.
Bob the Drag Queen
So people don't know Valentina loves disco music. She loves. Loves disco music and would listen to it very loudly in the dressing room. But I was really into the disco music, too, so I didn't care because I was like, girl, I love disco music. Violet was into, like, edm, like, fucking, like. So, like, it's like, either. Either Violet Chasta gets it or Valentina gets the. Gets the. You know, the Aux Cord, basically the Bluetooth connection. So I was always advocating for Valentina to get it because I wanted to hear disco, and I did not want to hear. I want to be. I didn't want to be the Electric Daisy Carnival Festival backstage. And I toured with her for Work the world. She's very. I can. I can agree she's very, very lovely. Very, very agreeable. It's really, really sweet and charming. Truly a sweet, charming young lady. Yeah, I love Valentina. She's. She's. And she's from Cali. From la, right? And she's the host of me Drag Race Mexico, which is super gaggy. And we were all rooting for her to get this job. And when she got it.
Monet X Change
She's taller than that.
Bob the Drag Queen
You think she's taller or shorter?
Monet X Change
Valentine is probably like five' nine, because I'm five' eleven. Valentine's like five' nine.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not an inch. You were. Act like the inch was just wild.
Jacob
You.
Bob the Drag Queen
You act like.
Monet X Change
Or maybe five. She's six. Like the same height.
Bob the Drag Queen
You feel like you look eye to eye with her. I just remember that her getting cast for me, her as the host of Mexico and Brooklyn as the host of Canada is like. Is like.
Monet X Change
Right, so. So what are you saying about.
Sponsor/Commercial Voice
About.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, here's a question. I think that it should have been me. You know what even any of that means? Do you know what literally any of that means? Because you're not a.
Monet X Change
This does one little show in Madonna at a little bar in France, and now he's Muzzy
Bob the Drag Queen
performed at Joe's Pub. I think that. Okay, I have a theory about. About RuPaul stepping down. When she start. When she gives up Australia, London, UK is next, and then America. I don't think she'll step down from all three at once. I think the first thing she'll do is give up Australia.
Monet X Change
I feel RuPaul be like, I'm done. And he's just Going to leave all three. I don't think RuPaul is going to, like, inch his way out the door. I don't think so. I disagree. Yes. I think I'm done.
Bob the Drag Queen
What about just lightening your low? Like, what if I don't want to quit? I just want to lighten my load. I want to do. I don't want to host three seasons a year. RuPaul does more. RuPaul has been on more season Drag Race than anyone. Truly. She has done.
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Every season of.
Monet X Change
Yeah, yeah. Who's been on more than Drag Race?
Bob the Drag Queen
RuPaul.
Monet X Change
She was one of the first two seasons.
Jacob
Jujubee.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I mean, are we counting Queen of the Universe?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but. But still, RuPaul's been. RuPaul's been on every season of us. None of our franchises. She's just been on, like, all. And she does all the UK and all of Australia. She has filmed at this point, probably 30 seasons.
Monet X Change
All the ones RuPaul has done. And then she's also done. Yes,
Bob the Drag Queen
Michelle came in on.
Monet X Change
But she's the Queen of the Universe, which. Those are 12 episodes each. So she and season one of America only had like, what? Eight. Eight episodes. So Michelle may have done the same amount. You don't know how many episodes I watched a season. It was what. It was like. It was 12 episodes. Now host Drag Race Brazil.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, she hosts drag race Brazil?
Monet X Change
14. So there are 14 of them. This maybe a little more. Plus, she guest judged on Canada's record.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is Michelle going to step up for real?
Monet X Change
I could see it. I think there's a segment of population that would really be upset that it's not a drag queen, but I don't know. I go back and forth.
Bob the Drag Queen
It has to be a drag queen. It has to be a drag queen. Michelle is a drag queen, but it has to be a. A campy drag queen.
Monet X Change
I could see Michelle doing it, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's. She's. She's talented and she's got the. She's a. She's a. She's a true nightlifer. She has the ballroom experience, she has the drag experience. She has the cabaret experience. She has the RuPaul's Drag Race experience. I mean, she's quite qualified. Michelle is over.
Monet X Change
Joining the cab.
Bob the Drag Queen
They do Continental for. For people who have it. Who are AFAB
Monet X Change
for.
Bob the Drag Queen
AFAB people. Is there like a missed Continental for, like.
Jacob
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
You mean Miss Universe. Female at birth.
Jacob
Miss America?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, like, specifically in. In the Miss Continental world. There's like a. There's like a potato. Please I think there's like an afab. Are you gonna ask him? Ask potato. If he knows anyway. I can't remember, but I feel like there is. Michelle should do it.
Monet X Change
I would see. I could see Michelle doing, doing a little diddy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet, we, we. We didn't make it very far today, I gotta be honest. But to be fair, we spent a lot of time.
Monet X Change
It was just a holiday. A lot of stuff we had, we were talking about like the holiday. It's fine. Yeah, listen, we got through half the girls holiday,
Bob the Drag Queen
but we, we've been, we've been averaging about a season.
Jacob
I think we've been averaging six to
Monet X Change
eight girls per episode and that feels fair.
Bob the Drag Queen
68. No Jake. 68 girls in episode two. No. Monique, can you make me wrong about.
Monet X Change
I was doing a bit. I'm not going to justify my biz. You do your bits all the time and I don't laugh. And sometimes I laugh and sometimes you laugh at mine, sometimes you don't. And that's fine.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm just continuing the documentation. Monet never saying she's wrong. It's always a bit. Anytime Monet's wrong, it's a bit. So, so, Bob Dragon Videos timestamp because we're going to gather our data on you.
Monet X Change
I'm so dead set on gathering data to prove me wrong. I mean, I could spend that same energy. I still have energy on you, but I choose actual good things with my time and energy. Not,
Bob the Drag Queen
oh, this is good. I'm reading the World of Evil. This is my passion.
Monet X Change
It's your bastion, bitch. It's your bastion.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is for the greater good of humanity. And on that note, thank you for coming to my show.
