Bob the Drag Queen
My name is Bob the Drag Queen.
Monet X Change
And I'm Monet X James and this is Sibling Rivalry.
Bob the Drag Queen
On this week's episode, we play Marvel Rivals.
Monet X Change
We talk about fast food, and we.
Bob the Drag Queen
Find out what made Monet say this.
Monet X Change
I would just rather not engage in this behavior. And we find out what made Bob the Drag Queen say this.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it's kind of ridiculous in a way that I find a little cringy.
Monet X Change
Well, Jacob, I think I've settled into Iron Man. I started playing Luna Snow. I kind of like her, actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've tried to play Marvel Rivals and it is not like Fortnite.
Monet X Change
Yeah, so tell me about that. So for those of you who don't know, Marvel just put out this game. It came out December 5th. This new. It's like a. I thought it's like a combo of Like Fortnite, which. With Overwatch that I've been playing. But it's. It's hard. It's a hard game.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's more like Overwatch than it is like Fortnite. And I don't know that I like Overwatch because.
Monet X Change
Why? What's different Overwatch and Fortnite?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, in Overwatch, you're in a pretty. In like a closed space. Like, you can't. It's not. I mean. Oh, I wouldn't say that Fortnite is an open map, but it's a very, very. It's not open world, but it's a very, very large map that just keeps getting smaller and smaller. It's like the Hunger Games, actually. Like you. Everyone's fall. Everyone falls from the sky. You run and get weapons. And then the storm. There's a storm in the perimeter that keeps making the circle smaller. So 100 people fall at once. Also, on Fortnite, you can play in teams of 4, 3, 2, or 1. You can play by yourself. And in Overwatch, I think you have to play in a team. It's half and half, and it's just a much smaller space. It is constant battle. It is non stop battle. Whereas in Fortnite, you can hide, you, you can run, you can build, you can be off to the side by yourself. And there is no hiding. In Overwatch, you are just inundated with battle, nonstop. You are next to your enemies the entire time.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Which I don't think I love that.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I mean, I never played Overwatch before. I played Fortnite a few times with Bob and Mateo in them. I didn't love Overwatch. I mean, Fortnite. So I'm trying to get into Marvel Rival. Cause I like Marvel stuff and the characters are familiar, so that's fun. And. But I think the constant, constant battle also, it feels so hard. Like Jake, maybe Jake or. You know the answer to this. Like, can you build up your character's stats? Like, can you build up your health? Can you, like.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. Everyone's. Everyone has. Everyone's on a level playing field in Fortnite, with the exception of maybe there's like a few weapons that you can only use if you have a certain amount of XP you like. You can't get play certain points, play certain weapons. And it's pretty rare that this happens where you can't get a weapon unless you have a certain number of xp. But in Overwatch and Marvel Rivals, all the characters have different stats. You have different health, you have different this, you have different that whereas in Fortnite everyone's on a level playing field.
Monet X Change
Except the skill levels in Marvel Rivals or Overwatch. Can you. I personally can I like get XP and level up. Does my character get stronger and do I get better things?
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet X Change
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
But some characters just start off with more health.
Jacob
Yeah, it's more about team comp. So they're like characters who are tanks who are good for taking damage. They have a lot of health, but they, they're slower. Maybe there are characters who do more damage but are weaker. There are characters who are weaker but heal other characters. So it's more about team comps, synergy, choosing your superhero that will.
Monet X Change
But it's a bunch of random people. So if you're not. If you.
Bob the Drag Queen
If.
Monet X Change
If like the, the fear. What I'm paying and we're like, like it's just like. Cuz like sometimes I'm like bitch, we need a healer on our team. Like somebody needs a healer and bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I guess, I guess, I guess.
Monet X Change
I should, I should go do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
You have to be the change you want to see in the world.
Jacob
Yeah, I mean I think generally those games are more fun to play with friends. So if you have at least one other person you know playing with than going solo. But yes, that is an issue with.
Monet X Change
Those games and all the patrons. If you're out there, I don't know how you add me so you can. I'll figure out how I can put my. I'm going to put my thing on Patreon so people can like play teams with me. Like I would love to play with people because none of my. Besides. Oh, Jacob, you and I could play together.
Jacob
Yeah, I'm down.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love that. And you can play Fortnite on team with strangers as well. But it's kind of hard when you can't communicate with them. But you can communicate with them. You have to turn on your settings, but you will literally be talking to strangers.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I need to put. So I have a headset thing for my PS5 but it stopped working cause I think I lost PlayStation. They do a thing like for example, right. For the PlayStation headphone thing, you have to have a certain adapter that it comes with it. If you lose that adapter go to your PlayStation then you can't. Your headset doesn't link anymore and you can't go just.
Bob the Drag Queen
And buy what.
Monet X Change
Yes. Andy figured this out like when I first got to PlayStation 5. Cause I was like it has, it has a webcam. It had all these things you can do. I Was like, ooh, I'm a stream. It goes directly to Twitch. But I bought all the things for that and for the headset. There's an adapter that you have to have. And I. And I think I lost it or in a feng shui, I fucking threw it away. Because I'm always throwing shit away. And now I can't put my. Get my headset won't go. Things like.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you sure? Because I just plugged. I just plugged them right into the. Into the auxiliary.
Monet X Change
Mine is a wireless one. It's a wireless one.
Bob the Drag Queen
What kind of PlayStation do you have?
Monet X Change
The PlayStation 5. I have a wireless head Bluetooth headset that I bought for.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, just buy the ones with the plug then. I mean, the remote's in your hand. Like, why does your headset need to be blue. Need to be Bluetooth when you're literally.
Monet X Change
I mean, I got it because I just got it, but it was. I thought it would be better.
Jacob
Oh, no, that is true. If you want to use a Bluetooth headphone, you have to use the PlayStation brand specifically, I think.
Monet X Change
Right. But.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I mean, I don't know why it has. Because you're like, you're never, you're never that far from the remote.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but the headset and it had a look, a little thing like. I don't know. I just. I just. I bought it because I thought it would be.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can. You can get a corded one and you don't have to. You don't have to have that thing. You can get any corded headset with a microphone and it'll plug right into your PlayStation remote.
Monet X Change
That's so crazy. I don't. I used to like corded headsets were such a thing. Bitch. I have no corded headphones in my house. I used to get that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, just go buy a corded headset from. From like any, any Best buy, any online TikTok. I'm sure TikTok has a million of them.
Monet X Change
My short ones I used old DJ ones I could do, actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
But do they have a microphone on them? Because you can't talk to people.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but isn't there a microphone in the handset?
Bob the Drag Queen
But I think once you. I'm this. I'm not sure, but I think once you plug it in you. The microphone is disabled and you have to use the microphone on the heads, I think. I'm not 100% sure, but also, you don't if you're streaming for the PlayStation. Although I've done it several times because it's Just easier. And I'm not great with setting things up, but if you just. If you use the streaming from the PlayStation, it's, it's pretty rudimentary. You'll get like, you, you can, all you can do is move your, your camera around and you can either enable the chat or disable the chat, but it will always be covering the screen. But if you were to use obs, which is a broadcasting software, you can, you can actually have the screen be to the side and then have the chat not cover the screen. So you. Excuse me, we. Usually when I'm playing, I. I've only streamed like a few games on PlayStation by myself, like Fortnite and Baldur's Gate. But when you're playing Fortnite, the chat is covering your stats so you don't know how much health you can move it around. But it's going to be, it's going to be covering something. Something's going to be getting covered up. But if you use obs and you can, I think you can like download interfaces and, and stuff to apply so that you can. There. I think, I think there are some presets already on the Internet that you can download and it'll be like, oh, this is great for gaming, this game. You can put your camera off to the side and everything. I have, I did, I did Spider Man.
Monet X Change
I did Spider Man. I used to. When I first got my PlayStation 5, I did. I did a couple Spider man games and, and I was like, yeah, guys, I'm going to be doing Spider man, blah, blah, blah. But life gets crazy. And now I could, I could probably couldn't remember how to do it, but I did like five or six times of music playing.
Bob the Drag Queen
You mean Obs or with the, with the PlayStation?
Monet X Change
With the PlayStation, I did it for a few hours.
Bob the Drag Queen
So easy. You just click broadcast.
Monet X Change
Yeah, it's really Easy on the PlayStation. They make it really easy.
Bob the Drag Queen
But it doesn't look as cool though, right? And you also can't broadcast to like Twitch and Insta. I mean, no, you can't. Sorry, no, I went to TikTok. You can't broadcast to TikTok and Instagram. You can only broadcast like Twitch. And I want to say YouTube I think, but also I was trying to be a Twitch girly for a hot minute, but now I, I don't know, I haven't done it in a long time. Twitch is a lot for me to try to set up, but I think I have a good number of Twitch followers.
Monet X Change
I think I don't have any I don't think I've ever used a Twitch. I used to do Twitch in Pandemic when.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh God, it's playing audio. I don't see how many Twitch followers I have. Official. My Twitch is official. Bob the Drag Queen. I don't know. I can't tell. I don't know. But I actually was like really getting followers for like a hot second. Oh, I have 17,000 Twitch followers. Is that a lot? Not compared to some people. I mean, I'm sure that ishowspeed probably has like a billion.
Monet X Change
How many does Kai Sinat have? I'm down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Kai Sinette on Twitch has 15.6 million.
Monet X Change
Gag. But Kai Sinat, do you.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's the world's biggest streamer.
Monet X Change
Do you ever watch his content?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I see it on the Internet sometime, but I've never, I've never tuned into a Kai Sinet stream ever. But I've seen like when he does something crazy with like when Nicki Minaj was like, you don't paint your nails cause you're, you're. I can't remember what she said. You're afraid of. I don't know. I can't remember what she said.
Monet X Change
She was like, are you wearing nail polish? And he was like, he's like, he's like, no, no, it's not polish. He's like, he's like. He's like, it's gel polish.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then she's like, you were. You thought I was attacking. I can't remember was. But then I, then I saw there's a video that went viral of a bear rapping on Kaisen. This, like this. He's like, he's like the Barry, the Hip Hop Bear. I want to say his name something. The Hip Hop Bear. And he does this flow where he low key disses Yogi Bear and, and Winnie the Pooh. And he'd be like, I don't know what this is. I mean it's a kid shows and it's a recent kid show, so I don't think that you would know it. And I only know it because I saw it on Kaiser Net. It just came across because I'm on Rap Tick Tock, which by the way, there's a new season of Hustle and Flow out. It took another chunk of time to do this one and I tried to watch it last night, but I didn't have. I didn't have what it took to get into it.
Monet X Change
I don't know what Hustle and Flow is. Oh, that's, that's, that's that competition show.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a rap competition show.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Is that the one on Netflix?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Monet X Change
Got it. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right now it's being Lotto, Ludacris and DJ Khaled.
Monet X Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
And it was TI Cardi B and Chance the Rapper. I want to say, are you, Are.
Monet X Change
You a DJ Khaled fan?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, not really.
Monet X Change
DJ Khaled.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think he's kind of ridiculous in a way that I find a little cringy.
Monet X Change
Is he a producer?
Bob the Drag Queen
He's a producer, yeah.
Monet X Change
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
And a dj.
Monet X Change
Oh, yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you. But I, I find DJ Khale a little bit cringy. And, you know, I don't know. He's just, he's.
Monet X Change
I don't have keys. He's all of the keys. The keys to the kingdom are the keys of success.
Bob the Drag Queen
We had a lot of sayings. God did. And I mean, I would tell people, if you ever want to just really. I don't know if any of you are into Hot Ones, but if you want to see probably the best episode of Hot Ones ever, it is hands down, DJ Khaled. DJ Khaled has. I. I don't want to spoil it for you. Just have to watch it and you will see. It is one of the craziest episodes of Hot Ones that I have ever seen. It is truly mind boggling. Like, it is. I, I don't even want to. I don't want to give any spoilers. Just go watch the DJ Khaled Hot Ones, y'all, and then comment under this. What you thought about it. It is it. You will not regret it. You will not regret it.
Monet X Change
What was the thing I used to say you're so mad at? Not mad at you. Like, what?
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
I need to say something. You're something turtleneck. What did I say what? I was like, oh, Bobby, you're wearing your blank turtleneck. I don't remember what I said before turtleneck, though. You're like, monique, I don't wear this turtle. I was calling, like your Christmas turtleneck or your.
Bob the Drag Queen
What was it in reference to?
Monet X Change
I don't remember. But you were. You always were like, monique, I don't only wear this for this occasion. I was like, no, but it's your something turtleneck. I don't even remember this. Maybe it was. Oh, I think it was your. I was calling your election turtleneck.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why would it call. Why would you call it my election turtleneck? I don't get it.
Monet X Change
Because it's the turtleneck you were wearing when it was an election.
Bob the Drag Queen
The first election Thing. I wore a houndstooth dress. A houndstooth over the shoulder. Fringe. Not fringe, like a. It had, like a cascading houndstooth thing on it. In the second election, I think I was wearing a turtleneck.
Monet X Change
And. Which.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why. I get to understand why you kept calling. Because I've only won it one time during one. I've won it one time when we talk about the election and you were like, oh, it's the election turtleneck.
Monet X Change
Because I think it's your. The shirt. I think it's a shirt you wear when we have an election. When we did the midterms, you had an. You had. You. You wore. You wore turtleneck as well that day.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, we. We never talked about the midterms on this podcast.
Monet X Change
No, not on the podcast. Just when we were hanging out that day, you were wearing a turtleneck.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is. That is not true. I. First of all, I rarely wear turtlenecks out of. Out of this scenario because it's so warm. Like, they're just so warm. So I run cold.
Monet X Change
So maybe start wearing turtlenecks around the house. Then the jigga won't be icing you out.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I usually wear out. Like, I usually wear, like, a tank top, a T shirt, or one of my, like, big loose dress sacks that I have.
Monet X Change
So really fierce. If you're. If. If you're. If you're a clothing bland brand blew up and you had Saks on 5th, that would be fierce.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why? I don't get it.
Monet X Change
Saks on Fifth Avenue. The big bar.
Bob the Drag Queen
Saks Fifth Avenue.
Monet X Change
Right. So if you had your Saks. No, but it's called sax on 5th.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is it called sax on 5th or Saks 5th?
Monet X Change
Saks. No, not.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it's called Saks 5th Avenue.
Monet X Change
But you can say, guys, I have my Saks on Fifth. But like, your own store.
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like I might get sued.
Monet X Change
If you call it Saks on Fifth.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, apparently someone opened up a fake Planet Fitness and called it Not Planet Fitness.
Monet X Change
That's kind of cool.
Bob the Drag Queen
And someone else opened up a. I think. What's his name?
Monet X Change
Billy Mays?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, no. He's from the Rehearsal.
Monet X Change
The Rehearsal.
Bob the Drag Queen
He has a TV show called the Rehearsal. Jacob. What's his name?
Monet X Change
Couldn't tell you.
Jacob
Nathan Felder.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nathan Felder opened up a. He was trying to help this failing coffee.
Jacob
He used to have a show called Nathan for you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nathan for you. And he opened up a. This coffee shop was. He would. He would. If a business was failing, he would come in and help your business succeed in some way. So like there was a yogurt shop and he just got them. Really. In fact, I'll take off this break.
Monet X Change

Bob the Drag Queen
A coffee shop that was called Not Starbucks.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I think they were kind of getting sued, but they couldn't sue because he was like, oh, it's a parody.
Monet X Change
Parody law is so interesting to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's interesting about it?
Monet X Change
Well, like certain things are protected in a parody. Like you can't, like, let's say if I, like if I was to put out a song, Sad Romance, like some of it is protected under parody, but some, like I couldn't use the same track and stuff, but I could perform it. It's like a whole thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you can use the same melody, but you can't. But you have to recreate it yourself. You can't you can't actually use work that someone else did. You can't use someone else's instrumentation. Because I don't think parody. Right. Covers being able to use someone's, like, labor. You know what I mean? But it does cover being able to use the labor they used to create the melody.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Cause then you're just recreating it. So you're still taking their thing, but you can't make. Let's say I recreated Sad Romance and I put this. I did my own instrumentation, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I put it a song, and it goes big. Do I make all the money off of that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because I think you do. I mean, yeah. I mean, Weird Al Yankov has five Grammys.
Monet X Change
Who?
Bob the Drag Queen
Weird Al Yankov has, like three or five Grammys.
Monet X Change
Right. That's so crazy. Because you're taking someone's music, though, although you're recreating it, you're still taking their.
Bob the Drag Queen
Music, but it's a parody, so it's protected.
Monet X Change
That's. That. I think that's. I think that's crazy, because let's say if I were to do Bad Romance and not parody it, like, I couldn't do that. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you could. I mean, unless it was a parody.
Monet X Change
Right. I'm saying. But if I didn't parody it, then. But just because I'm changing the words. I'm still taking the music, though. I'm just changing the words, but I'm still taking the music, which is.
Bob the Drag Queen
A lot of people. A lot of people have tried to sue Weird Al, but I don't think anyone's. I don't know, actually, but I know a lot of people tried to sue him, but I don't think it's ever been done successfully.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I think. I think that's a little crazy. But you don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
How would you feel someone parody your music if they.
Monet X Change
If they parodied it, like, everything for me, I don't think I would be upset about it. I don't think I would be upset by it. But apparently a lot of people have been upset by Weird Ali Yankovic because. Why. They tried to sue him, but they have no grounds. They lose.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, Coolio had a huge issue with Weird Al Yankovic, although he didn't sue him, he just kind of threatened him. They ever say that I ended up accidentally at Coolio's memorial service.
Monet X Change
Yes. And I forget why, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was going to go see this clown called Puddles. Pity party and Puddles are just in the same place, the same Complex as Coolio's memorial service. And me and Todrick were walking in together, and we were black, so they were like, oh, you're here for this thing? And I was like, oh, I didn't know Coolio. I mean, I know who Coolio is, but they were like, oh, yeah. Right this way. And we were like, huh? And they were like, you're here for Coolio's memorial service. Right? And I was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't know that Coolio was having a memorial service today. I knew he had passed away, but I didn't know that he was having a memorial service that day.
Monet X Change
Coolio, who's. That's just the way it is. That's not Coolio.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. Coolio has been spending most our lives living in a gangster's paradise.
Monet X Change
Right? Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's just the way it is. Is Sting.
Monet X Change
Wasn't there a rap on there?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, Puff Daddy re sampled that and did a tribute to Biggie Smalls.
Monet X Change
Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
But. But. But that song is actually the Police.
Monet X Change
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
The Police. That song is by the Police.
Monet X Change
That's just the way it is.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. The original. The song that's sampled is by the Police.
Monet X Change
The Police is a group.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. Sting. I'm pretty sure, Jacob, look this up. Sting was the lead singer of the Police.
Jacob
Yes, that is true.
Monet X Change
Yeah. A band called himself the Police.
Bob the Drag Queen
You never heard of the Police?
Monet X Change
Maybe. I know their music. I didn't. I did not know you just sang.
Bob the Drag Queen
One of the songs. I don't know.
Monet X Change
There was. I did not know there was a group named the Police. I did not know this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah. Sting's group was called the Police, and.
Jacob
They started in 1977.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Okay. Yeah. Before my time. I was really quick. I want to get into the topic. I've been seeing a lot of, like, videos on fucking my timeline about, like, police showing up at someone's home and then the person, like, being like, oh, like. And like, this is the last one. I saw the Police show up at this guy's house, and they're like. He opens the door, he's like, hey, we're here to investigate you. They're like, is your. Is your baby mama home? This black guy, he's like, baby mama? He's like, what are you talking about? And he's like. The Police goes, is your baby mama home? And talk to him. He's like, okay, I don't have a baby mama. I have a wife. And she's here, and you're not talking to her. And it goes on. It Goes on and on. And he's basically like, you don't have the right to do this. But if I was facing that situation, I would comply because I don't know what my rights are. So I want to do a better job of me being aware of what my rights are in my own home. I vaguely know what they are. If you don't have a warrant, you can't just enter my place, like, things like that. But I don't know what all my rights are. And I want to be able to like, be now granted with all the things that happen to black people and police showing up at their homes, I probably would comply because I'll be so fucking scared that they're going to fucking pull guns out and I'm going to be dead at the end of the thing. But I want to be more aware of what my rights are as a citizen, like in this fucking country. Because I really want to.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you want to get a crash course, I mean, if you want to really, I guess you should study like civics or not civics, law and criminal justice. But if you want a crash course, There is a YouTube page called Audit the Audit.
Monet X Change
Okay, hold on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right? It's called Audit the Audit. So there are these people who go around, they're called auditors and they often go to public buildings, they go into public places and they just record stuff. You can, you know, you can go anywhere in public and record anything you want. You can walk into a post office recording, you can audit.
Monet X Change
It was the first thing that came up. Audit the Audit.
Bob the Drag Queen
Out of the audit. This is a. I mean, he goes into laws state by state, basically. He, he, he'll see people being, he'll see auditors. Who are these? Who are these? They're not always auditors, but sometimes he just auditing the video in general. But they'll, It'll be like someone who, like there's this guy on, on. On YouTube and TikTok who goes viral because he just stands on the street and he'll just film stuff. And sometimes he'll focus on like the entrance of a building. And as he's filming the entrance of the building, usually someone will come out and be like, you can't film here. And he's like. They'll be like, who are you? And he'll be like, who are you? And they'll be like, I don't want to be filmed. And he's like, Then you walk away from the camera. Like, you don't have to be. They're always in the. They're always like in the camera. Like, I don't want you to film me. And then he's like, okay, then walk away. They're like, yeah, but you're filming my store. And yeah, I'm allowed to do that. I'm allowed to film your store. I'm allowed to take pictures of your store. There's nothing, there's no law against me filming your store. And then he's like, I'm not in your store. And then they get, then they're like, yeah, but you're not allowed to film customers walking by. There is this weird perception that people think they have the right to not be filmed in public, which is completely untrue.
Monet X Change
False sense of privacy. Like, you, like, you're not. Well, again, I don't know. So is the thing that if you are in public, you are allowed to be filmed. Like, if you don't want to film, then be private.
Bob the Drag Queen
And not only that, if you're in public, you are probably most likely being filmed.
Monet X Change
What is cctv? Closed circuit television, which is every country has it.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, closed circuit just means that it is all within that one building. So, like there, there's, there's. So like, basically, if you're in close circuit tv, there's a camera facing you is probably going to a computer somewhere and being stored there.
Monet X Change
Got it, okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Whereas the camera itself is not, it's not on us. It's just like the camera itself. Like if you just hold your phone up, that's not cctv because it's just, it's not. Although it could be connected to something. I think a tell. A phone could be part of a closed circuit network, but it just means that there's like a computer that's going to. And maybe a security guard looking at it. Maybe Donna. But this idea that, like, people like. And my question is this, like, I get that being filmed is annoying, but I don't understand why people think they have. They're always like, it's my right to not be. That you don't have my permission to film me. And it's like, yes, yes, yes, they do. If you are in public, you are allowed to be filmed.
Monet X Change
Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you're on, you're probably on someone's security. Security footage, more than likely.
Monet X Change
Totally.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I just don't get why people think that they. I don't get why people think that because they're in public, people can't film them, man.
Monet X Change
Maybe because we're American. I see it, but I don't see this. I don't see that. Reaction in other countries. Like, I don't see in the. I'm not so sure. I've seen videos of people in the UK being like, you can't film me, babes. I've seen videos like that. Obviously, I probably don't see them in other languages. I don't understand what they're saying, so why would I see it? But I was gonna say it sounds very American. You can't film me here. This is my private property.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, but private property. One thing also, you can film. You can film someone's private property.
Monet X Change
But, you know, but people think that if I step out of my store, that's my private property. Like, I've seen ones. It's like a store on a sidewalk, and people come out. I think it was on Rodeo Drive.
Bob the Drag Queen
And it came out.
Monet X Change
I think it was East St. Laurent on one of those stores, and some guy was out there filming. And they came out the store, and they're like. And she's like, you can't film me here. This is private property. I'm like, you're on a sidewalk. How is it private property?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, it's not, but they think you can't film the property, which is not true. You can feel. You can't go in there filming, but you absolutely can film private property. I mean, I get if you're being filmed, why, that would be annoying. How would you feel if someone's filming you?
Monet X Change
It would be very annoying. But, I mean, people film us all the time, bitch. People have filmed. I'm sure you've experienced this. People film me in public. Or, like, you ever see this thing where they see you and want to interact? And then this happened on the subway the last time I was in New York City. And then this. This, this. I'm like, at least do this. So I can't tell, but the phone is here, and you're like this at me.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then.
Monet X Change
So I go, I see you. And they're like. I'm like, I saw you filming me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I used to have it even more before Drag Race, and people just, like, shot this drag queen.
Monet X Change
But I would always do this and film them back. That's good. You taught me that. That was somebody. I mean, we talk about a podcast. I would say it just for the.
Bob the Drag Queen
Make sure the flash is on. You have to make sure the flash is on when you wa.
Monet X Change
So they know there was someone who would say the N word. And mom was like, just film them.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, like.
Monet X Change
Well, like Monet. Next time, they'll sign this person, say, n Word. Just film them. I bet you they'll stop.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just film them.
Monet X Change
So, y'all, if you ever see someone do. Using the N word republic, who should not be using, just take your camera out, put the flash on and just see how they react. But I mean, now, be prepared. They will probably get angry and it may escalate that. May. Putting a flash on and film might escalate the situation, but they will stop saying it.
Bob the Drag Queen
What was that? It was so funny. I want to laugh again in the future. It was so. It was such a good bit. You did. My question too, is like, what are y'all doing in public that you don't want people to film you?
Monet X Change
I think it's more so annoyed. It's like feeling having someone filming you. It feels violating.
Bob the Drag Queen
But then why get in the camera? Like, why go up to the camera?
Monet X Change
Because you think that you can assert your dominance and be like, you can't. Because they think that that's going to scare them. You can't do that. It's illegal. They always say it's illegal or you're violating my rights.
Bob the Drag Queen
But then my other question is like. Like, this one lady was like, I don't know if you're filming. If you're zooming in on my face. He was like, I am. She goes, I don't know if you're zooming on my kid's face. He was like, I'm not. But I could. Like you. You. I can film anything out here. I can film your children.
Monet X Change
I was just gonna say, are children protected in any type of way of this? I mean, only if you're a.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can't post it, but you can't. But you.
Monet X Change
You can.
Bob the Drag Queen
You, like, if. If you're. And you just get a video, you're not legally required to avoid children.
Monet X Change
Now, here's another thing. Oh, you can't. You can't post it, is what you're saying.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, you probably can, but I.
Monet X Change
Think the blow things out. You have to get like.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you know, I'm not 100% sure on those laws, but I think it's about, like, are you monetizing it? Did they sign a waiver? But you can just film. You can also, if it's under journalism, it's a. It's different than if It's. I'm not 100% sure of the laws, but I do know is if you're in public, no matter who you are, you can be filmed. It doesn't matter if you are the president or if you are a preschool child. If you are in public, you can be filmed.
Monet X Change
Because also, again, this is not on the same. It's not the same thing. But like, you think about, like, when they have. Like when children commit crimes on the news, like, they always have to blow. Either they don't show the child, or the child has to be blurred.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe that's the law.
Monet X Change
Under the.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know if it's a law, if it's a risk, or if it's just like a we don't want this kid to get in trouble thing. But I have seen. I have seen minors committing crimes and have their faces shown on. Really? Yeah, for sure.
Monet X Change
I thought every time I see it, they're. They're blurred out. Their name is not revealed, or they don't show them at all, like. Or they just don't even put pictures or video of them on the thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm not 100% sure of those laws.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Get what these folks are doing and why they don't want to be filmed. I mean, I don't know. I don't be doing nothing crazy, so I don't know.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I don't do anything crazy in public either. But like you said, like, doing drag in New York, I feel like I got filmed all the time. Especially when you. If you were to ride the train or something, people. And also being New York, I feel like you see crazier shit in New York. Someone was just set on fire on the subway in New York. A drag queen is crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
But also what makes it so wild to me is, like, you don't want to see someone holding the camera, but you are being filmed pretty much nonstop in New York City. You are. Until you get to your home. And even in the hallway of your building, you're probably still being filmed. Like, you are more than likely being filmed.
Monet X Change
I don't live in a building.
Bob the Drag Queen
What about New York City?
Monet X Change
I don't live in a building in New York City.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. Anyway. What's your favorite fast food restaurant?
Monet X Change
Favorite fast food restaurant.
Bob the Drag Queen
You eat fast food? Because I remember you and I had an argument on the podcast one time.
Monet X Change
I ate fast, famously, where you said.
Bob the Drag Queen
You only ate organic. If y'all go back and watch the. Is that in the veganism episode? I can't remember.
Monet X Change
It was back. Girl, y'all. That is. It is back. It is back. When we were in Bob's basement, there was some. There's some. That's when we were doing a crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
The green screen. And Monet kept trying to say to me when they kept being like, I only eat organic. And I was like, monet, that's not true. She's like, monet kept insisting I only eat organic. I don't eat anything but organic food. And I was like, I don't know how true that is. Anyway, y'all go back and watch. Was a very funny conversation. This is an ad from BetterHelp Online Therapy.

Monet X Change
Fast food. I think my favorite fast food place is probably Chipotle.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really?
Monet X Change
Yeah. I would say Chipotle. I love Chipotle. I mean, they had a phase where I would eat Chipotle three or four times a week. I mean, there's never been a fast food chain. I've done that. I've never done that with Popeyes or anything because those, I think my mind, those are just really bad for you. So I would like try to not eat it as much. But, but Chipotle. I would eat Chipotle four times a week easily.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm torn between Taco Bell and Popeyes. Taco Bell is good because Taco Bell is. And once they hit, once they hit The Doritos Locos, baby. Once the Doritos Locos came out, which, by the way, I don't know if I've told the story, but, like, there's, like, a. Apparently there's, like, a sad tale with the Doritos Locos.
Monet X Change
It's a sad tale.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Apparently the guy who came up with it was, like, a janitor, and they never paid him for it. And then he died in poverty.
Monet X Change
See, don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Y'all. Don't give him a custodian, apparently. But that might be. That might be. That might just be, like, a Internet lore tale. But apparently the guy who was like, you guys should do a taco Mater Doritos, and, well, I want to throw.
Monet X Change
Cool Ranch in the mix. But you said they didn't. Was it good? I just don't understand how that was not good.
Bob the Drag Queen
They had flaming. They just didn't sell. They had flaming hot for a while, and they.
Monet X Change
A flaming hot. Girl, you love a flaming hot. I do not like flaming hot.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. And put them in the freezer. A cold chip is so good. Take. Y'all listen to me. Take your flaming hot Cheetos, put them in the freezer, come back and eat them, and then you will thank me. Come back to this video and thank me below.
Monet X Change
Let me tell you how Bob is be on some weird shit. So I went. I was at Bob's studio the other day, his workspace, and Bob buys, like, you know, like, the Costco thing of chips. Did you have, like, the assortment of all the different chips? And then. So I was there, and I was looking for. It's the one that has spicy nachos in it. And then none of. There was no spicy n. None of the good chips. All that were left was, like, the regular Lays and Funyuns and Funyuns. And I was like, girl, you need to, like, get a new. He's like, no, I can't get it until I finish. I. What do you mean? I was like. He's like, girl, I can't get a new mo until I finish the bad chips. I was like, so you're gonna make yourself eat the bad chips to finish off the box, and we're getting a new one. I was like, wow, that's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Then I'm just sitting here with mountains and mountains of Funyuns and Lays. Like, I'm gonna have so many, they won't fit on the rack anymore.
Monet X Change
You're at an office. Go give it out to the other people. There's a whole other side of the office. I'll probably love those money.
Bob the Drag Queen
They have acts. They can come get them if they want. People don't. If you just walk up. I don't. People just like walk up. Just give them chips. Like, hey, eat these Funyuns.
Monet X Change
No, but I'm saying, like in, like the break room, in the. On the. In the thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have so many Funyuns right now.
Monet X Change
I do not like a Funyun. I do not fancy a Funyun. Not even a little bit. Funyuns are not good chips.
Bob the Drag Queen
As a kid, I liked Funyuns, but now I don't. I'm just. I don't feature them anymore. Who has the best French fries?
Monet X Change
Best french fries? Uh, And I will say everything I'm saying. Well, that's not true. But UK McDonald's, American McDonald's fries are not good. British McDonald's fries, American McDonald's fries are not good. They're too rubbery. They taste cardboardish.
Bob the Drag Queen
What are you talking about?
Monet X Change
The British McDonald's fries. For all my UK girlies out there, they're like, Bitch, she knows the UK McDonald's fries.
Bob the Drag Queen
How is rubbery and cardboard the same thing?
Monet X Change
Sorry, sorry, sorry. They have a bad texture. Like you chew them and it's like it feels like you're not even. It feels like paper ish. It doesn't feel like you're eating like a thing. Whether UK fries, they taste good. Love a UK fry.
Bob the Drag Queen
McDonald's notoriously has great french fries.
Monet X Change
Not anymore. They've went down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not the best French fries, to be honest. The best french fries. But you have to catch them on a. On a good day, because sometimes they will be underdone. But baby, five guys. I want to say. Oh, my God.
Monet X Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Monet X Change
Sorry. I'm such a fucking dumb bitch. You nailed it. Five guys.
Bob the Drag Queen
Five guys. Cajun French fries are in.
Monet X Change
You're right.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're right. Insane. What I don't like is that they do not have ranch at five guys.
Monet X Change
But the Cajun fries do not taste good with ranch. You want to eat those with ketchup. And when you come for Christmas, Bob, you have to taste. I have it here. You can't get it anywhere else. The St. Lucia ketchup.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's different about it?
Monet X Change
It's made of banana. Not made of. No, don't do your face that. Trust me, I'm gonna. When you come, I'm gonna have a thing of fries for you. Fresh out the air fryer.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you're gonna. I wanna em from five guys. I don't want. No, I don't want no healthy fries.
Monet X Change
Healthy fries? What are you talking about?
Bob the Drag Queen
Air fryer. I want greasy. You know what I love about five guys, baby? They throw the fries at the bag. They put the fries and they put an extra handful of fries on top. The entire. You cannot put it in your lap. Your pants will be. You have to put it on a towel on your chair in the seat, or else your car will just be ruined.
Monet X Change
It's great. Five guys fries. You're right. How was I thinking five? First of all, they are so generous in their portions and they taste so. It's because they cook in that peanut oil.
Bob the Drag Queen
Also, ranch tastes good on almost anything savory. I'm trying to think of something savory that I would not want to eat with ranch. Now, there are something that I like. I like. I'll have a pizza with ranch, but I prefer my pizza without any ranch. I prefer the garlic dip. Um, but, like, I don't know. I can't think of a ranch and pizza. It's pretty common. It's. It's very common.
Monet X Change
I've never heard of this.
Bob the Drag Queen
It is incredibly common.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Comment below if y'all be doing ranch and pizza. We doing ranch and pizza now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why do you think they sell ranch and Pizza Hut and Domino?
Monet X Change
I haven't noticed that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jake, have you ever had ranch on pizza or heard of it?
Jacob
Yeah, but also, like, I'm dating you and I've heard of. Because I'm dating you.
Bob the Drag Queen
You heard of it through me.
Jacob
I mean, I'm not really out here in these ranch streets like you are.
Monet X Change
Ranch is a very black condiment.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is it?
Monet X Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I didn't realize that, but I will. I'm trying to think of one savory dish, except maybe like a soup. Like, I don't. I would. I wouldn't want to put it on my noodles. There it is. I wouldn't want to put it on my noodles.
Monet X Change
Somebody do that. Somebody do. I think was Sweetie the rapper. She does spaghetti and ranch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Honestly, I see it. But I would do a ranch powder, though. I like ranch. I like ranch flavoring on my popcorn. Ugh. The ranch popcorn salt is so good.
Monet X Change
No, I like the blue one. What's the blue one that I like the white. No, it's not white cheddar. The blue one. I forget what it is. Not blue cheese. The blue kettle. The one that's in the popcorn thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you describe the flavor profile?
Monet X Change
I don't remember. I've had it so long. Maybe it's a white cheddar.
Bob the Drag Queen
I Like, is it light blue or dark blue?
Monet X Change
It's the dark blue one.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know, but. Jacob, can you maybe Google that? But yeah, I. And also, Checkers is a close second.
Jacob
It's a blue colored ranch dressing.
Monet X Change
No, it's the. The popcorn seasonings. The one with the blue color. The dark blue color.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, the ones we have at home. Checkers is a close second for sure.
Jacob
This is.
Monet X Change
All right. Checkers is too similar.
Bob the Drag Queen
Especially if you give her chili cheese fries.
Monet X Change
They're too similar to Popeyes Cajun fries. I don't fuck with Popeye's.
Jacob
Dark Boot is white cheddar.
Monet X Change
White cheddar?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Popeyes is too. I don't like Popeyes. Cajun fries. I don't like Checkers. They're too hard. I love the five guys, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to take you to Crystals.
Monet X Change
I've been to Crystals before.
Bob the Drag Queen
You've been to Crystals?
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
When in my life, Bob.
Monet X Change
I've encountered many crystals before.
Bob the Drag Queen
Where?
Monet X Change
All over.
Bob the Drag Queen
Name one place you've been to a Crystals at.
Monet X Change
I don't remember. On a gig to Patty and I have been to Crystals before. I had Crystals before I even was on drag. Like before. Before I lived before. Like as an adult. I've been to Crystals in my life.
Bob the Drag Queen
In. Not in New York.
Monet X Change
Not in New York. And other places. I've been to other places besides New York.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think they even have crystals above Pennsylvania.
Monet X Change
No, that's not true. I mean, Pennsylvania is the north. What are you talking about? Above Pennsylvania? What do you mean? In Vermont and Boston.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but there's no crystals above Pennsylvania.
Monet X Change
Okay. There's a lot of country under Pennsylvania, Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know, but a lot of those places have a southern flair to them. You know what I mean? Like what states touch Pennsylvania. Let's see.
Monet X Change
New Jersey. Ohio.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, beneath it on the south side.
Monet X Change
New Jersey is below. Is below thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Below Pennsylvania is. No, New Jersey is not. No, it's right next to it. New Jersey is directly to the west of it. I mean, the east of it below is Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina. And I mean, I prefer Crystals over White Castle. And I. Maybe it's because I grew up with Crystals. And Crystals has great chili cheese fries and chili cheese pups and their corn dogs. I love Crystals. Genuinely love crystals.
Monet X Change
I like. I mean, I prefer White Castle, but I mean, they're so similar. They're so similar.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's this place I went to in Virginia called like Drive in or. Or. Or Eat Shit. It's called something like that like. Like the drive in or the lock eat through or some fucking place that I've eaten at recently that I discovered on the Sibling rivalry tour, actually.
Monet X Change
Oh.
Bob the Drag Queen
I hooked up with this couple and they took me there after we hooked up.
Monet X Change
Work. Do you know what I think is overhyped and is not the tea?
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet X Change
Georgia's own varsity.
Bob the Drag Queen
Varsity's not great. No, varsity's not great.
Monet X Change
I'm like, okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what is okay? Sweet greens. Sure.
Monet X Change
Love sweet greens.
Bob the Drag Queen
I had a place called Freshco in Florida. If you eat at Freshco, you will be like. You will be mad every time you eat sweet greens after that. You'll be like, I'm annoyed that I have to eat this.
Monet X Change
Freshco is a chain. I've seen a lot of Fresh Co's and they're never really that good.
Bob the Drag Queen
You've had it?
Monet X Change
Yeah. Freshco's in New York.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, no, New York has Dig in, which is just like Freshco.
Monet X Change
Oh, no. Maybe I'm thinking about something else. But Freshco with like. It's like. It's like fresh and the company is on the end of it and it's like a green lettering.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah.
Monet X Change
I've had Fresh go before and I don't think it's that good, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. I loved when I was in Orlando.
Monet X Change
It's Fresh & Company.
Bob the Drag Queen
Fresh & co. I was eating there. Nonst. It was so good. I was obsessed. And I'm now mad that we don't have one here and I gotta fucking eat sweet greens.
Monet X Change
Wow. I think sweet greens is pretty good. I like sweet greens. They put Dig. They didn't put Dig in la. I love Digg the macaroni and cheese. I dig is so fucking good.
Bob the Drag Queen
Same with Fresh and Co. Fresh and Co is Dig. Dig. It's called Dig In.
Monet X Change
Dig In. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Fresh and Co is digging. It's the same. It's the same idea.
Monet X Change
I just love food. Food. I'm so happy. I love food. I love food.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what's shockingly good? And I did. I don't know why I didn't expect it to be good. But I gonna say it might be.
Monet X Change
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not gonna say better, but. Have you been to a Del Taco?
Monet X Change
I've never been to Del Taco.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think I had my first Del Taco experience with. It was some drag queen. Was it Selena S titties? Someone Me and someone had our first. No, it was not a drag queen. It was. It was Taylor O'Rear. Never mind. We were. We were leaving a Drag show. And we went to. Because there's a Del Taco right across the street from Akbar. Yeah, baby. Del Taco is genuinely fantastic.
Monet X Change
Genuinely fantastic is a wild word to say.
Bob the Drag Queen
I get. I mean, if you think Taco Bell's fantastic, Del Taco is great. I was shocked.
Monet X Change
Or Taco Bell.
Bob the Drag Queen
Woo. Okay. What gives Taco Bell the edge for me is their ingenuity, their. Their creativity. Right. Taco Bell is. Is really perverting Mexican food to a point where it's almost not even recognizable as Mexican food anymore.
Monet X Change
That's what Taco Mexican. It's people who get very. It's Tex Mex. It's not Mexican.
Bob the Drag Queen
People like, that is not Tex Mex.
Monet X Change
That. That's. No, that's what people be saying who are Mexican that I've said is for. They're like, girl, do not call Mexico. But it's Tex Mex.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay? Anyone who eats Tex Mex will tell you Taco Bell is not Tex Mex. Taco Bell is. I'll give you. That's maybe not. Not Mexican food, but that's what. That's why I say they've perverted Mexican food. They're not. It's not me. It's just perverted Mexican food. Which, by the way, Mexicans love Taco Bell.
Monet X Change
I'm not saying they don't. I'm just saying Mexicans, they're like, girl, do not call Taco Bell. That's not Mexican food, honey. That is Tex Mex.
Bob the Drag Queen
What Mexicans are saying that?
Monet X Change
What Mexicans.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, a lot of. Like a lot of Mexicans. Can you name one of the Mexicans who said this to you?
Monet X Change
Like, friends of mine who have said it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you name one of these Mexican friends?
Monet X Change
No. That feels weird to be. I don't want to not mention people's names.
Bob the Drag Queen
Naming Mexicans feels weird.
Monet X Change
No, I just don't want to get in the thing of identifying people who are Mexican. I would just rather not engage in this behavior.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's just a natural.
Monet X Change
It's just a. I know, but now we're getting worried about what sex with Mexicans. I just don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why is it. Dated a Mexican guy and he loves Taco Bell work. Yeah, he's Mexican. He probably still is Mexican.
Monet X Change
I've never dated a Mexican guy.
Bob the Drag Queen
But anyway, yeah, Del Taco is generally good food and their tacos are better, but they don't have the ingenuity. So Taco Bell is making. Like I said, they're perverting Mexican food. Making just crazy stuff. They're like, what can we wrap in what? What can we smear on what? What three things can we combine to make something that has just never been done in the world before?
Monet X Change
Well, and that's what Taco Bell has this guy following. I'm going to make it today. He makes. He makes his, like, own Crunchwrap supreme using puff pastry. And I really. I wrote down all the materials.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wasabi, deviled eggs.
Monet X Change
Yet I don't have the recipe.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought Jacob said it to you.
Monet X Change
No, Jacob, you should be. You should make them for. For Christmas. Oh, maybe I will.
Jacob
It could be cute.
Bob the Drag Queen
They're genuine.
Jacob
I was gonna do latkes.
Monet X Change
Ooh, I. Bitch. I love a latke. I love a lot. I love a matzo ball soup. I love. So I love a lot of Jewish food.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's very New York City. What was the. What was the lockup parody you were laughing at yesterday, Jacob?
Jacob
Oh, it was. It was popular.
Monet X Change
Latke.
Jacob
La la Latka.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah. La la Latka. You.
Monet X Change
You reading latkes?
Bob the Drag Queen
You'll be kosher. Just not quite as kosher as me. Monet has a video of us singing what is this Feeling on her phone that she refuses to post.
Monet X Change
I'm not engaging in this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why won't you post it? Because I outdid you. Because I outshined you.
Monet X Change
Who has the best fried chicken?
Bob the Drag Queen
Just tell me if it's because I outshined you or not.
Monet X Change
Who had the best fried chicken?
Bob the Drag Queen
Just. You can say yes or no. Is it because I was saying better than you?
Monet X Change
No. Who had the best fried chicken?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. Have you had Jollibee? No.
Monet X Change
Jollibee has really good fried chicken. But they do weird things. Like they have like. Like weird to me because I don't put these things together. But you order fried chicken and it comes with a side of spaghetti.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, that's kind of a Southern thing. But. But I. I was. I was never one of those.
Monet X Change
I think Jollibee is. Where is. It's Philippine is.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think.
Monet X Change
I think it's a Filipino restaurant.
Bob the Drag Queen
Mabuhay. Yeah, I think.
Monet X Change
Let me look that up.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, some of my favorite fried chicken was this place called Cocoa Wings that was on the Upper west side at. On 106 between Amsterdam and Broadway. Baby, Cocoa Wings was Korean fried chicken. And when I tell you, baby, I used to go to the KFC at Broadway in 106 by A. Buy some fries so I can get the ranch. They will not just give you. They won't just sell you ranch. Then I walk Back to cocoa wings with my ranch. Because let me tell you right now, y'all, I don't want to eat wings. That ranch. I don't want it. I. I like wings by themselves, but I. I want ranch on every single bite of every single wing that I eat.
Monet X Change
Yeah, every bite. Now, do you. Do you, like, drench it in it? I like it to act in my wing. I do not want it swimming in ranch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Dunked. Okay? Every bite dunked in. In ranch. And not only that, if I order Popeyes and you do not send me the sauce, you have ruined my experience.
Monet X Change
I would agree with that.
Bob the Drag Queen
You have genuinely made this an unpleasant experience. I'm mad. I'm more angry if you. I'm more angry if you don't send me ranch than I am if you don't send me a straw.
Monet X Change
I agree with that. It's. It's. It's annoying.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I buy extra ranch so they'll see it on the ticket.
Monet X Change
Uhhuh. And they won't. They won't do it. Sometimes they just ignore it. It's honestly rude.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then.
Monet X Change
But what. I mean.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean.
Monet X Change
And again, it's not about getting the refund because I didn't get it. It's about, like, I wanted to have this with my meal, and now I can't have it in my. And my. And my. My experience is ruined. Like, the joy of eating this meal is gone because you have decided to just not put my thing in the thing in the bag.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, I will say ranch is the one thing that really pissed me off. Like, when you don't give me the sauce. Like, I'm not fucking eating chicken nuggets without something to dip them in.
Monet X Change
Yeah, that's annoying.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm about to just sit here and just eat chicken nuggets without anything to dunk them in.
Monet X Change
Do you know who has good chicken? Who has good chicken? Who has. Who has good dunkin sauce? Who has a good barbecue? It's, like, barbecuey and nice and tangy. The fucking Shake Shack barbecue sauce is on another level. It is so delicious. It's. It tastes so good.
Bob the Drag Queen
Their nuggets are too.
Monet X Change
The nuggets are good, too, but sometimes the bread is. What I don't like about them is the breading falls off of the nuggets, which is annoying. So now I just have a fucking naked.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't want.
Monet X Change
I don't want a fucking naked chicken bread, nigga. I want my shit wrapped in breading. And now I'm just eating a naked thing. Now don't get me wrong, I will eat the.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm still eating it.
Monet X Change
I'm still eating the breading. I will get my breading together and make a little breading ball.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know for sure. And eat that me and Zach went to Shake Shack the other day and. Who? Zach? Noy Towers?
Monet X Change
Zach or Jack?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm crazy. Tell me if I'm crazy. K. What? I'm on the machine and I want an extra ranch. Because I also dip my fries in the ranch. I dip the nuggets and the fries in the ranch. And one ranch will not be enough. I don't want. I will. I will have ketchup, but I prefer to dip my fries in ranch. I do love mixing the ranch with the ketchup and dip my fries in that as well. Anyway, also, if you're someone who puts ketchup on the fries and then eats them, you're insane.
Monet X Change
I do that.
Bob the Drag Queen
You put them on the fries.
Monet X Change
You don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't scoop them in. You. You put the ketchup on the fries.
Monet X Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is a mess.
Monet X Change
Because you get more bang for your buck that way. Because when I do it the way you talking about, bitch, I'm three. I'm five fries in, and I've already drain half the well, so Now I have 95 fries. And so when I spread it out, at least I know I'm getting a kind of equal bite of. And I. I take my fries out and I make them flat, and then I get ketchup on everything so I can know I'm having equal ketchup on all my food.
Bob the Drag Queen
But also, ketchup is plentiful. You never have to fight for ketchup. You never have to fight for ketchup, girl.
Monet X Change
Yes, you can. In the uk they will you. You cannot go and ask for ketchup. You have to buy ketchup as a separate thing. You can't just. You don't get a thing of ketchup, Pac.
Bob the Drag Queen
In the States. They've even been trying to distract us with the ketchup. No, bitch, I want the ranch. Anyway, so I'm on the machine. Also, I'm on the machine ordering myself and the machine was still like, how much you gonna tip? I'm annoyed when all you've done is ring it up. I had to ring up my own food and you are still asking me for a tip.
Monet X Change
Girl, tipping is wild on that. So you better get him something.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I gave him something, which I'm annoyed that. But anyway, so I'm on the machine. I order the ranch. But you can't get an extra ranch. I look at and say, I would like one extra. I would like an extra ranch as well. And she goes, okay, I can do that for you. She brings the food over. She goes, you wanted one extra ranch, right? And I was like, yeah, one extra ranch. And she sits it down. How many ranches should I have?
Monet X Change
Two.
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you. Thank you. Zach was like, no, you should have said two extra ranch. I said, no, I said one extra one I already have.
Monet X Change
Not one. No, no, no. Wait, so did you order? So you were able to order one.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then I wanted one extra.
Monet X Change
Yes. Yeah, so you should have two.
Bob the Drag Queen
And Zach was like, no, no, no. So I, I looked at. I was like, oh. So I opened the thing. I was, oh, there's no other ranch in here. I thought there was going to be two ranches because I wanted one extra ranch. I get one and I want an extra ranch on top of that.
Monet X Change
Yeah, you should have two.
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you. That makes so much sense to me. I need one extra ranch. One more of those.
Monet X Change
One more. Yeah. I mean, y'all, Bob and I like food. We talk about fast food all day. I love food.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you want. I want to order Taco Bell today.
Monet X Change
No, I'm going to make my. Well, I mean, you can order Taco Bell, come over, and I'm going to make my crunchwrap supreme.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, after this, I have. I have a town hall. So I'm in this fucking office studio. I hate saying office. It sounds so boring and stuffy. I'm in this studio all day today.
Monet X Change
Oh, well, I'm hungry. I ain't nothing all day. As soon as we get done with this, I'm going to get my ingredients, bring my crunchwrap supreme.
Bob the Drag Queen
Actually, we're actually cooking right now. We're low key cooking, so maybe I can come over and eat Taco Bell.
Monet X Change
Well, I have to go to the supermarket to buy my groceries first. It's going to be a little while. I don't have. I don't have any of the materials here. Like, when I look up recipes online, it'd be like, oh, like, who does? I mean, I guess people don't have this in their house. Like, they do it for the video, right? But like a lot of the ingredients. When I find something I'm gonna make, I always have to go buy. I don't ever have anything in my house because I don't keep anything. Also, when I finish make a recipe, I mean, this is wasteful. If it's not.
Bob the Drag Queen
You throw the stove away.
Monet X Change
If it's not something that can go in, like, a cabinet, like a spice or something other thing, like the extra dill or the extra. I throw all that away because I'm not gonna use it. I'm gonna sit in the fridge and spoil. So I just throw it all away.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, that does sound crazy, you know. All right.
Monet X Change
Oh, wait, wait. Well, keeping it or throwing it away sounds crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Throwing it away.
Monet X Change
What I'm gonna do, it's gonna sit. What am I gonna do with. With dill?
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you never gonna use dill again?
Monet X Change
But dill exp. Not in the time I'll need to use it. For example, I made that viral cucumber salmon salad thing. I bought dill for that. And the dill sat in my fridge for a month and a half until it was yellow and rotting.
Bob the Drag Queen
What about flour? You think it should flour away?
Monet X Change
You know, we. No, I said things that can't go in a cabinet, we keep. Cause that. But, you know, I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do y'all.
Monet X Change
I've never noticed this in America. In St. Lucia, when we would keep things like cereal too long or like, flour, they would get weevils. Do y'all have weevils in America?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like mealworms?
Monet X Change
I don't know what a mealworm. It's like a little dark thing that, like, go.
Jacob
I mean, we do have them here, but they don't really occur in food.
Monet X Change
That will happen to us, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
All the time.
Monet X Change
Things will get weevils all the time. So I get so. But I know how to preserve it now. We put it in a thing and a thing and a thing. But yeah. Anyway.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Also, last thing I'll say before we go is that if I. Which is very rare, but if I buy one thing that will probably go bad, I actively use that thing, right? So, like, if I bought up, let's say, peanut butter, I'm like, now, everything for the next month has peanut butter.
Monet X Change
In it, but peanut butter won't expire.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't think of anything else in time but, like, I am now the peanut butter girl. I am now the garlic girl. I am now the whatever girl, until that thing is gone.
Monet X Change
It's also why I don't. I don't make things, like, a lot. Like, this is why I order so much food, which is bad. Which I'm trying to change for this next year. I'm not going to order it out as much. I'll be better at stuff like that. Maybe there's also. I mean, again, not being home Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why are you trying to change that?
Monet X Change
Because I. I just looked up my expensive. I spend too much money on Uber Eats. I spend too much money. It is. It is. It's not good. It's a behavior I want to change for myself. I think it's ridiculous.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's a reason why Uber Eats doesn't give you a wrap to the end of the year. Girl, here's your Uber Eats wrap. I mean, yo, the Uber Eats wrap would be insane. Insane.
Monet X Change
I don't want to see it because I want.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what? Starting next year, I'm going to do my own Uber Eats wrap. I'm going to log the food, the places I go, the money I spend, which restaurants I eat the most, the drinks I got.
Monet X Change
I'm going to go on Uber Eats and print it out. You can go on Uber Eats and find all your orders for the past year. You can do that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Should I. Should we do our ubereats wrapped and share them?
Monet X Change
No. I'll be embarrassed.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you dare? Come on. I would be so embarrassed. Let's do our Uber Eats wrap for the year. We'll find out how much we spent. We'll find out where we ate the most. Honestly, this is a good idea.
Monet X Change
I'll engage with you. But, girl, sometimes Bob, I will order a cookie from the other side of the hill and get it delivered to me. A single cookie. So for that one cookie, I'm spending $26 for a cookie to get from over here to here? That's insane and ridiculous.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would just get in my car and drive.
Monet X Change
I live in the Valley, though.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't live in the valley, but there's cookies nearby.
Monet X Change
But not the levain cookie.
Bob the Drag Queen
You got me there. You got me. Bye.
Podcast Summary: Sibling Rivalry - "The One About Fast Food"
Episode Information:
Introduction
In this episode of Sibling Rivalry, hosts Bob the Drag Queen and Monet X Change dive deep into the delectable world of fast food. With their trademark humor and candid chemistry, they explore personal preferences, culinary debates, and the cultural significance of various fast-food establishments.
Fast Food Preferences
Monet kicks off the conversation by sharing her love for Chipotle, mentioning, “I would eat Chipotle four times a week easily” ([34:34]). Bob, on the other hand, expresses a torn preference between Taco Bell and Popeyes. He highlights Taco Bell’s innovative menu as a reason for his allegiance, stating, “Taco Bell is making just crazy stuff. They’re like, what can we wrap in what? What can we smear on what?” ([46:16]).
Favoriting Five Guys
A significant portion of the discussion centers around Five Guys. Monet praises their generous portions and the unique flavor stemming from peanut oil, while Bob lauds their Cajun fries. Bob emphasizes the importance of ranch with his order: “They put the fries and they put an extra handful of fries on top. The entire… You cannot put it in your lap” ([38:25]).
Fries and Dips: Ranch vs. Ketchup
The hosts engage in a spirited debate about the best way to enjoy fries and chicken nuggets. Monet prefers dipping her fries in ranch, noting, “I dip my fries in ranch” ([52:13]). Bob advocates for a similar approach, adding layers to his dipping routine: “I dip the nuggets and the fries in the ranch” ([50:00]).
Monet suggests a method for even distribution of ketchup on fries: “I take my fries out and I make them flat, and then I get ketchup on everything so I can know I’m having equal ketchup on all my food” ([53:15]). Bob counters by emphasizing the abundance of ranch, stating, “You never have to fight for ketchup” ([53:47]).
Unique Fast-Food Experiences
Bob shares a memorable experience at Crystals, a Korean fried chicken spot on the Upper West Side, highlighting his love for ranch on every wing: “I want ranch on every single bite of every single wing that I eat” ([50:03]). Monet contrasts this with her experience at Jollibee, a Filipino restaurant known for serving fried chicken with a side of spaghetti, a combination she finds unconventional yet delightful.
Cultural Culinary Perspectives
The episode touches upon the authenticity of Tex-Mex cuisine. Bob remarks, “They’re perverting Mexican food to a point where it’s almost not even recognizable as Mexican food anymore” ([46:35]), while Monet clarifies, “They’re like Tex Mex… They’re like Texonom Ex,” distinguishing between traditional Mexican cuisine and its Americanized counterpart.
Favorite Fried Chicken Spots
Monet commends Jollibee for its flavorful fried chicken but jokes about the peculiar side offerings: “They have like weird to me because I don't put these things together” ([49:35]). Bob reminisces about Cocoa Wings, another Korean fried chicken restaurant, appreciating the seamless integration of ranch: “They put the fries and they put an extra handful of fries on top” ([38:25]).
