[B]

My name is Bob the Drag Queen

[C]

and I'm Monet X Change.

[B]

And this is simply rivalry.

[C]

On today's episode, Bob and I grow our hair out.

[B]

We talk about fundraising and we find

[C]

out what made Bob say this.

[B]

I'm proud that I bring people together and make them good friends. And somehow you're turning into whatever you're turning into. It just sounds like you're jealous of something. I don't know what it is, but you're sounds like you're jealous of something. And we found out what made Monet say this.

[C]

The heteronormativity of it all is something that I would not, if I had children, want to do unless my kid, you know, really wanted to. Cause they, you know, they were hetero and they wanted to celebrate that. Hey, Bob, what's up?

[B]

Hey, Mo.

[C]

How you doing? Good.

[B]

I haven't cut my hair. I haven't cut my hair literally the entire break. So it's kind of a little bit unruly. But besides that, I'm feeling really good though, to be honest.

[C]

Well, I've been drinking my flat tummy tea and look what happened. Bitch. When I tell you my shit just

[B]

had a different reaction.

[C]

You know what I think it was? Also, I put that turmeric mud mask on my hair the other day, on my head. Like I went to bed bald and I put on this turmeric hair mask, head mask. And when I tell you I woke up and just, I mean, I, you know, I understand how Mary felt. I feel like I am.

[B]

I didn't do anything different. I just haven't cut my Hair Since. Ooh. Since Christmas.

[C]

Since Christmas.

[B]

Wow. You don't have that much hair. I kind of feel bad for you. Cause you have so little hair.

[C]

Oh, yeah, you definitely have a lot of hair going on there.

[B]

Like, is that all the hair you can grow? For real?

[C]

I think this is where my body wants to live and I'm fine with it because I went from zero to 90, honey. Not even 60. We're at 90.

[B]

0, 200 and no time flat. My headphones can't stay on my ears. There we go. Monet, where are you right now?

[C]

I'm in Portland.

[B]

Oh, this is where you gonna move before la?

[C]

Yes. I was heavily contemplating moving to Portland instead of actually at homes. I did. I was working with a realtor and a lender and everything here.

[B]

And la, just.

[C]

Well, what it was. Obviously I have some friends here, but I was like, I have way more friends in la. And honestly, you know what really did it? The weather. I'm like, I'm leaving New York because of the weather, bitch. It gets cold in Portland, too. It doesn't snow.

[B]

Not like New York.

[C]

New York is not as cold.

[B]

It's on a whole other level.

[C]

It gets cold. Portland, like, in the winter. It is. It's not. It's not uncommon to see a day that it's like 25 degrees. You know what I mean? I'm like, bitch, hell no.

[B]

Then you should move to Atlanta then.

[C]

Louisiana is better than Atlanta. Atlanta, it rains Atlanta. It's ices sometimes. When I lived in Atlanta, when I lived in Gwinnett county for that one year, we had an ice storm.

[B]

We always going for Atlanta. You don't have. Can you think of one nice thing to say about Atlanta? One nice thing? 1. Can you muster up one compliment about my hometown?

[C]

The Fox Theater is lovely.

[B]

When have you been to the Fox Theater?

[C]

I performed at a Fox Theater, baby. When? With a drag queen. Christmas.

[B]

Drag queen. Christmas is a Fox Theater.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Really?

[C]

I don't know if this. This year or the year before, but one of the years I was on it, it was at the Fox Theater.

[B]

I saw Cats at the Fox Theater when I was younger. And I said, one day, I'm gonna headline the Fox Theater.

[C]

You know, my Mr. Lewis, my Kamika helped me with this. Kamika's not here. My sixth grade social studies teacher, he would always say this line, like he thought it was so funny. He would, like. He'll say something like, we'll talk about. I don't know, we're gonna talk about the French Revolution. He'd Be like, you know, you guys are gonna laugh, you're gonna cry. It's gonna be better than Cats. Is that a thing people say about Cats? You laugh. I laughed, I cried. It was better than Cats. Is that a thing?

[B]

No, it's that Cats was a very. It was an incredibly successful show, is all. Cats was like one of the longest running Broadway shows in history.

[C]

And people say it about every show. They said it about one of them. Phantom of the Opera.

[B]

That's what they say it about. Well, Phantom of the Opera is. The Phantom of the Opera is literally the longest running Broadway musical. Literally. There's no.

[C]

It was Lion King.

[B]

The Lion King is absolutely. Lion King came out in 1994, and I think the opera was already like the movie came out in 1984, and I think fan of the opera was already on Broadway at that point.

[C]

Okay, let's. Well, let's look it up. How long. Let me see.

[B]

Phantom of the Opera is, hands down, the longest running Broadway musical.

[C]

How long has Phantom.

[B]

Well, it's closing now. I mean, Lion King does have an opportunity to surpass it.

[C]

A Phantom of the Opera. It made his Broadway debut on January 19th. In January 1988.

[B]

Yeah. So that is.

[C]

So they had 14,000. Nearly 14,000 performances. 36 years. Yeah.

[B]

So 1988.

[C]

No, no, no, no, no. 35 years, which is 65 years, which

[B]

is six years before 35. 34, which is six years before the Lion King was even a movie.

[C]

So let's see.

[B]

The Phantom of the Opera and Lion King probably went to Broadway. I'm going to guess before you look at it, I'm going to say 1998 or 1996, but I think it was 1990, 1998 when Lion King went to Broadway.

[C]

Lion King went to Broadway in 1997. 97.

[B]

Damn. Right between right betwixt.

[C]

So it's on his 25 years. The Lion King has about nine more years to.

[B]

I don't think Lion King is next in line. Next is Chicago. No, next is Cats. No, I mean for shows that are up right now.

[C]

Well, Cats was on Broadway for 35 years. Wait, cats?

[B]

And both written by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

[C]

Okay, but see, here's the thing. Cause Cats had a revival, they probably

[B]

only talk about one of the shows. I'm sure you don't like.

[C]

Go ahead.

[B]

You don't count the Gap in the middle. But how long has Chicago been running?

[C]

Cause it said, look back at the over 35 years of cats on Broadway. So I think. I think Cats is the longest one. No, no, look at what is the longest on Broadway show.

[B]

I'm telling you, it's Phantom of the Opera. I'm telling you right now.

[C]

Well, it says.

[B]

Just like you say to me all the time, why don't you just believe me? Why? You have to look up for yourself. Why do you have to look up for yourself, huh?

[C]

It is Phantom of the Opera. But then why Does Kat say 35 years then? Because this was 35 years.

[B]

Because they didn't say how long the show's been running. It's just saying Cats has been out for 35 years. Well, cats was just cats ran for 18 years. So it is not Cats.

[C]

Next.

[B]

It is Cats then. I mean, it's Phantom of the Opera. Then, I believe is Chicago.

[C]

Lion King.

[B]

I think it's Chicago. How long has Chicago been on Broadway?

[C]

Charlie's been on Broadway for 25 years.

[B]

25 years.

[C]

So Lion King is still. Lion King is 26. Lion King is born longer than Chicago.

[B]

And that's the revival. Oh, my God.

[C]

Come on.

[B]

And that's the revival. That's the revival of. Of Chicago, too. Because the original Chicago.

[C]

I didn't know Chicago had a revival.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

They need to bring back Rent. This is my petition. They did bring back to Broadway. They already brought Brent back again, though. Again.

[B]

Well, they didn't do it. We could do a third. They brought it back off Broadway and Michaela J. Rodriguez was in it.

[C]

I know, but I mean, back to Broadway. So here's the thing. When they. When they bring it back to off Broadway, does that mean they're like, there's no market to bring it to Broadway, so we're going to sell it for off Broadway. Do you think that's what the deal is?

[B]

Well, not necessarily settle. And the. The only difference in a Broadway theater and off Broadway theater is just the size of the room. It's literally just the size of the room.

[C]

Right.

[B]

Like. Like, there's literally rules.

[C]

I would assume you. There's literally.

[B]

Let me say there's literally rules where, like, the. The theater has, like, there are some theaters that have, like, 199 seats. Because they have more than that. They won't be considered off Broadway anymore. That is how, like, specific. The off Broadway and. And Broadway shows have a very specific number of seats as well. And usually you probably try to get your hands on whatever house you can get your hands on. And I think they're probably just more off Broadway houses than there are Broadway houses.

[C]

But I'm about to say. But also because for the demand, they're like, okay, we're not gonna get the Shubert Theater. Cause we don't think we can do a long, successful run. So we're gonna take the Off Broadway one because we know we can get a successful run for a good amount of time. Like, I would think that's what they're doing.

[B]

I think a lot of things go into it. I think a lot of things, including, like, is there a Broadway house available? Broadway houses are in extremely high demand. So are all Broadway houses. They're in extremely high demand. So I think there's a lot, like, also, who's producing it? Who's in the show? You know what I mean? Are you gonna make your Broadway debut in my theater, honey? You know what I mean? So there's probably a lot that goes into why a show does or does not make it on Broadway. Are you listening to anything I'm saying?

[C]

Yes, I heard everything you just said. Who in the show are you gonna make your debut in my theater and my show? I heard everything you said, bitch.

[B]

Can you actively listen?

[C]

I am actively listening to you. What do you want me to be?

[B]

You know, people call you out in the comments. They'd be like, monet has not listened to Bob. You just be like,

[C]

that is not true. People give me. I'll give you until the end of this week to find a comment and be saying, I'm not listening to you.

[B]

Oh, bitch.

[C]

People be saying, you won't have to wait.

[B]

You won't have to wait for Kimmy.

[C]

People came with the people. People love saying, people be, nigga, say who? People in the comments, to quote Monique Jenjabad, the drag queen on season one of Civil Rivalry. Say their fucking names.

[B]

There's a very popular clip online of me and you, and I'm telling you about how I went on the black market to buy my mom along. And your response is, do you want to see my nails?

[C]

I still heard you. No one said I was not listening to you.

[B]

Do you want to see my nails?

[C]

Can you tell me the story behind this wig on your head?

[B]

Okay, wig. First of all, back up. I told you, I have not cut my hair since Christmas Day.

[C]

Oh, my God. Okay, can you tell me the story about what you've done with this hair you've had on your head?

[B]

You've seen this hair on my head? Actually, several times when there's a picture of me and you and I'm wearing this hair.

[C]

What picture?

[B]

I wore this hair to DragCon New York when I was in my crazy booth.

[C]

Oh, is this the hair?

[B]

This is the Hair. The very hair.

[C]

And you've never done anything. This has been how this hair lives.

[B]

Yeah, it was made to be kind of like a wild hair. It's actually made by Saran. Chacha.

[C]

Hello, Chacharinas.

[B]

Chacharina. This is the Chacharina honey. Serena. Chacha. Remember when Cornbread called Serena out, I got this wig from her. I bought it at DragCon, and there's a lot of pictures of me in it. I have really. I haven't worn it much since then. It is my, like, wild and crazy hair. And whenever I do, I can't even wear it for the show because it doesn't stay on. It's not. It's like, you know, that show is very active. I don't know if. I don't know if you've actually ever seen that show.

[C]

I never saw Crazy Black Lady. I wasn't invited.

[B]

It is a very active show. I want to point out that's not clear. That's not true. No, no, Ellen, that's not the truth. I invited Monet to San Francisco to see both of my shows.

[C]

No, no, no, no.

[B]

Crazy Black lady and Angels in America, and you didn't see the one. And you kept saying I was busy. I was busy.

[C]

Go ahead.

[B]

And I'm gonna read to point out that Naomi Smalls was also busy and somehow found time to watch both shows. Go ahead, continue.

[C]

Okay, so Bob did invite me to see. Bob did invite me to come see Angels. Angels in America. That is true. And my camera did not invite me to see Crazy Black lady because, again, when Angels in America was happening, as y' all know, this is when Bob was living in Berkeley, and I had just gone on season 10. Bob knows when you are. When. This is my first time on the show. It's my first time in the spotlight. I'm getting all these gigs flying, doing all these things.

[B]

It was not your first time, what we were preparing for. Your second time on the show.

[C]

Yeah, but because you're. Bitch, I. I got the call. Yes. Bitch, I got the call to. Okay. I have to say, when we record, the other person's picture is a little blurry. So all I see is, like, this big hair, and I can see both face a little bit. But, bitch, you open your. Ey.

[B]

The white.

[C]

The white. The white of your eyes was just. It was like, boo. So it was season 10. I was like. I was in the throes of being on TV and flying and doing all these great, amazing gigs. And when you. Your first time, you don't really have I mean, I didn't have the thing to be like, do not book me to do this thing. I'm gonna go like. I'm like, bitch, whatever's coming, I'm taking it. And then as far as crazy black lady, I did not get an invitation or Monet, come see me, crazy black lady. You did say, monet, I want you to come see me angels in America. And I said, I'll try. And then I. Then I came to fucking Berkeley and I surprised you. Me and Patty. So what are you talking about?

[B]

But you couldn't make it to the show. No, because I had a gig that

[C]

night that I came to surprise you.

[B]

Yeah. Interesting. That's your story. You're sticking to it, huh?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

All these years later. Well, if you're comfortable taking that to the grave. I'm comfortable with where, you know, it was just with where our. Your opportunity to see me in Angels was.

[C]

I mean, maybe.

[B]

Maybe one day I'll get cast in it again.

[C]

Maybe.

[B]

I'm excited to come see you do your opera.

[C]

Oh, you weren't invited.

[B]

Okay. Not by you. You think you. Are you the only person in the show? Is it your show? Are you the producer?

[C]

Who invited you in the show? Give me the name of someone that invited you.

[B]

[C]

The goal is realness, honey. This is giving realness. Can y' all please comment below and tell me, am I not giving realness like I am in the. I don't know how much closer to the thing I can be.

[B]

To quote Sasha Velour, I'm more true than real, honey.

[C]

Sasha posted.

[B]

This is realness. This is.

[C]

Mm.

[B]

You literally can't see any lace. Literally. You cannot see an ounce of lace. When we were doing lace wear.

[C]

So when Bob. When we were doing the Civil Robbery tour, Bob's finale wig, Bob would. Cause Bob would glue on his wig for his number. And the next time you see us, we'll do the podcast, which we were. I would have to glue mine down because I had to go right into mine. If Bob had time. But Bob has time to Bob's finale wig. Sometimes we would be on stage, and the ends of Bob's wig are just. The lace is fully like this. And I would be on stage trying not to laugh because I'm like. The audience can't see it. Cause they're too far to see it. But this nigga's wig is just fully full like this on the sides.

[B]

I be sitting there trying to keep

[C]

a straight face, trying to be like. And give it up for my sister, one of the funniest queens in the world. And this bitch is coming myself. That shit used to fucking send me.

[B]

You're such a hater.

[C]

It's Orbit does hating.

[B]

Is that, like, your new favorite thing to do?

[C]

My hating? That shit was funny. That shit was funny. Oh, I had the videos. Can you send me some of the videos you have of every city we were in? Cause I'm gonna post a. We never did anything with that footage. What footage, bitch? The video that Patty would take every night in every city.

[B]

That wasn't my phone. That was with Patty's phone. Patty took those with his own phone.

[C]

Oh, no. I have some of it, but I'm missing, like, a few cities.

[B]

Oh, well, Patty took them home with his own phone. I don't have any of them on my phone. Okay.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

So why don't walk to the other room and tell Patty to.

[C]

To give you the. The videos, Bob.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Remember that scene in Sister act when they're trying to raise money so they can go to all state?

[B]

I do Sister Act 2 when they're saying, get up off of that thing.

[C]

Dancing dudes feel better. Get up off of that thing. Did you ever do anything like that in college or in high school?

[B]

Oh, we start recording. I was sitting there with my mouth wide open. I do not want.

[C]

That's. That's normal, bitch.

[B]

That's literally you. You are literally the queen with your mouth open.

[C]

I know that's me, but that's also you, too, so it's funny you think it's not you.

[B]

Normal for you.

[C]

All of us. I've seen you, like, normal for you. You as well.

[B]

Normal for you. And I know I did not. I did not go to. We never did fundraisers at my college.

[C]

We.

[B]

I mean, we did do some fundraisers, but we. But they were, like, in the form of, like, talent shows. Yeah, I also.

[C]

A talent show without any talent. How dreadful.

[B]

That's hilarious. I was also not a great. I was also not a great student. So I didn't really, like. I just wasn't studious. I was not very. I did one.

[C]

Was that through with a talent show?

[B]

No, I mean, I wasn't. Like I said, with studious. Like, I wasn't, like, doing a lot of the stuff in school. Like, I wasn't really participating in my

[C]

studies and even, like, extracurricular activities.

[B]

I did one play at my school, and I was a theater major. I did one play one time and I went to school for three years. I did one play. I only auditioned for one play.

[C]

Why do I think you only went to school for a semester and a half? Did I make that up?

[B]

I don't know. Apparently you made it up. Not you trying to diminish my. You were out of control. I went to school for three years and I. I did one play in the. In that entire time.

[C]

What was the play?

[B]

It was called Miscegenation. It was a play like.

[C]

Miss. Go ahead.

[B]

It was a play about. About. It was like, during the, like, pre war era in America and all this, all the slaves were, like, playing dumb. And then whenever the white people would leave, they would actually be, like, increase.

[C]

Incredibly, like, miscegenation.

[B]

Articulate and. Miscegenation.

[C]

Oh, Ms. Segination.

[B]

They'd be incredibly articulate, very, very well spoken, but they play dumb in front of the white people and then they. I can't. I can't remember a whole lot about it, but that's. That's the main crux of what I remember.

[C]

Who wrote this play?

[B]

Oh, my God. Money. I was. I was 18 when I did. I was 18. Years old. When I did the show, like this was probably in 2004. And the play is probably written way before that. And it was a one act play. I can look it up. Miscegenation play.

[C]

The miscegenation of Lauryn Hill.

[B]

And I might be saying it wrong too.

[C]

Look at my. Look at my leave out. But

[B]

miscegenation is like interracial sex. Interracial fucking is what miscegenation is. So it was about. Maybe this might be in the original slave play. It was about the slaves, like hooking up with the white people, the black slaves hooking up with the white people. But then the white people were actually. Were all really like. They were all bumbling idiots in the show. They were like so dumb. And the slaves were playing them. That's all I remember, though. All I remember was fucking and being a slave and being smart. That's all I remember. How many shows did you do in college?

[C]

College I did. So I was in Westminster Choir, which was the touring choir at school. Like we toured in the spring, I mean, in the winter. And then in the summer, in the spring we would go with spring. Summer we would go be part of the Spoleto Festival, which was a music festival in Charleston. So I did that from soft. I did that sophomore, junior, senior year. And so. And we would be in like three or four shows. Well, three or four operas every summer. Or two or three operas. We would be the chorus in two or three operas every summer. And then so that's like what, six to nine? And then during the year, my junior year, my junior year and senior year, I was in an opera. I was in. I was in Cosi Fan Tuti and I was in the Magic Flute.

[B]

Who were you in the Magic Flute? Were you the flute or were you the magic.

[C]

I was the rostro. I was the Rostro and the Magic Flute.

[B]

That's the flute. Flute. Or is that the magic?

[C]

It's the magic.

[B]

Oh, nice. That's nice.

[C]

Do you know what the big famous aria from the Queen from the Magic Flute is?

[B]

You already said it.

[C]

Yeah, I fucked up.

[B]

And I've also told you 10 times that I know Queen of the Night is the famous aria from Magic.

[C]

Well, I don't believe you. I was testing to make sure it was true.

[B]

The Marriage of Figaro is in town.

[C]

I know. I'm an ambassador of the LA Opera. I have tickets to go, but I just, I can't with scheduling stuff. I haven't been able to go. I think there's like another week I can catch it. We'll see.

[B]

I just get invited to operas in New York City a lot, and then I kind of stopped going.

[C]

You should go see. What operas did you go see in New York City?

[B]

I was invited to do several. I was invited to view several. And I also got invited to, like, do a speak back at the Shoen Walley Opera at.

[C]

How was Stonewall? The opera? I didn't get to see it or I didn't really hear.

[B]

You know, I don't know that I can judge opera. I. I don't want to judge. Like, I don't want to sound like one of those folks. I just don't know that opera is my thing. You know what I mean? Nothing against opera, which why I kind of stopped going to operas, but I'll go see you in an opera, but I just don't know that I'm. I'm one of the folks who's like, baby, these operas, honey. Like, my mom. My mom does not like musicals. She just does not like musicals. Just doesn't like them. And no matter how good the musical is about how exciting it is, no matter how you. You can't stop the beat. I remember I had to beg my family to go see Dream Girls. I had to buy everyone tickets to go see it. It was on Christmas day.

[C]

I beg 2008.

[B]

I said, guys, please. It was not 2008.

[C]

9.

[B]

It was probably 2006, actually,

[C]

because rent was either Rent or Dream Girls. Was 2008. One of them.

[B]

Dream Girls was absolutely not 2008. It was probably 2006. I'm gonna say that. That. I'm gonna say Dream Girls came out in 2000. Christmas Day, 2006. And it might be 2005.

[C]

No, definitely not that late.

[B]

Yep, there it is.

[C]

And rent was 2008.

[B]

Rent came out. No, no, let me guess. Rent. I don't know if Rent came on Christmas Day.

[C]

Oh, no.

[B]

I don't know if rent came out on Christmas Day, but. Oh, you already seen the answer there. When it worked.

[C]

2005, it was the year before, because we went to. So, you know, I was in that. I was in the gospel. I was in Songs of Solomon, that gospel choir for all of high school. And we went to go see Dreamgirls together. Like, a bunch of us from the church choir, Song of Solomon went to go see it and. But I feel like we saw. Not Christmas Day, went to go see it. Probably like, the week leading up to. Or something like that.

[B]

No, it came out on. So you had to see it the week After Christmas Day.

[C]

Oh, yeah, something like that. Yeah. So in high school, we didn't really do any fundraisers like that. I mean, the Songs of Solomon, we did fundraisers. And one of the. One of the big ones was the cotillion and the botillion. Do you know what a cotillion is?

[B]

No.

[C]

It's kind of like a black African diaspora coming of age ceremony. So it will be. There will be four girls and four boys. The four cotillions and the four botillians. I was one of the botillians. And it's like your passage into manhood and your passage into womanhood and the girls getting dressed in these white things. We got in tuxedos and I had a. Oh, my God, my boatilian. I forgot I had a botillion. Ah, what the fuck, dude? I would never do that to my kids. I mean, I guess.

[B]

What's wrong with the botillion?

[C]

Because it was like the heteronormativity of it all is something that I would not if I had children want to do unless my kid, you know, really wanted to because they, you know, they were hetero and they wanted to celebrate that. But it's very heteronormative. Like. Like the guy leads the girl to the thing and they, you know, it's like. I mean, I've never been to a bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah, but I think they're similar to what those are.

[B]

Interesting. Are botillons. Religious ceremonies?

[C]

No, no, no, no. But you do it when you're 13 and it's like your passage into manhood. It's like, what's setting up to be a man? Or what's setting up to be a woman?

[B]

Oh, no, I did. I certainly did not participate.

[C]

I mean, and thinking about it, I mean, it's not billed as a religious ceremony, but like you say, like, it was through my. It was through the church choir. So it was. That was. So I guess it probably is a religious ceremony. I just didn't realize how religious it was.

[B]

Jesus making appearance.

[C]

Jesus probably did. There was definitely some choral singing and some anthems. So Jesus was probably in the room.

[B]

Did you do fundraisers for your school?

[C]

So I'm saying, so that the ballin

[B]

out around the world Are you ready for a brand new beat? Summer's here and the price is right or the time is right for dancing in the streets we're dancing in Chicago. Oh, we gonna take a break. A break in New York City. We'll tell you what the city we're going to after this break,

[C]

I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back.

[B]

I can create a site with my eyes closed.

[C]

Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything.

[B]

Every day I'm thinking about some other

[C]

new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like, I can't stop. I'm addicted.

[C]

Yeah, so we're back. So the cotillion and the botillion kind of served as a fundraiser because people would donate and stuff to come see it, and the tickets were expensive to it.

[B]

Wait, and you're so. You. It take telling me they use like. Okay, so it was like a. Like Kevin Burton's Boatilian, but then the money went to Westminster.

[C]

No, not Westminster. This was in high school to your.

[B]

You did fundraisers for your high school?

[C]

Yeah, well, because Songs of Solomon was. It was Songs of Solomon. Service serves as. As a music school for my high school, but Songs of Solomon itself was also a separate thing. Like, we would do gigs, like, outside. Like, we would sing at the U.S. open, and we would. We would tour and stuff. So it was like a. It was like a double thing. So we would do money for. Raise money for that, but that was. It never did. Like, I'm sure you see the movie Bring it on, right?

[B]

Of course. Religiously, I used to watch it religiously.

[C]

Kameka and I used to watch it. Like, Kamek and I used to watch a bunch of movies that. The hot chick, Shallow Hal. Kameka and I, we were like, we. We used to love. I think you too, probably. Like, we used to love, like, high school, like, white high school movies because it was such a foreign concept to us.

[B]

It's not a white movie. There are white people in it.

[C]

But, I mean, it's like. It's like one of those. Like, I put in the same category as she's all that bring it on 10 things I hate about you. They're in that same.

[B]

I'm not giving Bring it on to white people. I'm not going to just hand over Bring it on to the White caucus. They have enough. Bring it on was a black and a white. I will not be handing over Bring it on was an interracial movie.

[C]

Okay, yeah. But so it took to. From my experience, Kameka and I, we, like, watch all these movies. Like, oh, my God. But anyway, we'll Bring It On. Like, you know how they would. They did that? Like these high school. They're supposed to be high school kids doing this, like, slutty car wash to sell, to raise money to go to fucking. I didn't do anything like that in high school.

[B]

No, we used to. Okay, so we used to sell. I can't remember why they would do this. For some reason, they would sell Chick Fil A chicken biscuits every morning in the school as a fundraiser. But I don't know who was second. Some group was selling. I think it was for the yearbooks. I think the yearbook was selling Chick Fil A chicken sandwiches every morning or chicken biscuits every morning. They were so popular. Like, if you can get chicken, why

[C]

did yearbook need money?

[B]

Cause yearbooks aren't.

[C]

But you would think the school would, like, the school would fund that.

[B]

Wait, actually, I don't know. Why? Because we paid for yearbooks.

[C]

Like, you buy your yearbook.

[B]

You know, I don't know why yearbooks need money. I don't know. And it might have not been for yearbooks. I mean, Monet, I'm not trying to be funny. I was in high school. I started high school 23 years ago. Like, I walked through the doors of high school for the first time over two decades ago. So I am not. I would not trust. Or 22 years ago, so I would not trust my memory to serve me perfectly.

[C]

That's not true. That means, Bob, if you started 22 years ago, that means you were. Oh, yeah, 13.

[B]

I graduated high school in 2004. Next year will be my 20 year anniversary since I graduated high school. I started high school 23 years ago.

[C]

Damn, son.

[B]

Yeah, when I. So.

[C]

So it was eight years ago for me.

[B]

That's not true. That is categorical.

[C]

That is math.

[B]

That math is not math.

[C]

Into high school.

[B]

And then why did your dumb ass graduate so late? Why'd your dumb ass start high school so late?

[C]

I was having a good time.

[B]

No, I. Someone was asking me something about, like, when you were. Oh, I was talking to someone recently, were like, tell me about when you were at Drag Race. Did y' all do this? And I was like, I gotta be honest, that was so long. That was. That was seven years ago. No, I filmed Drag Race in the summer of 2015.

[C]

You filmed in 2015? That means it was. Yeah, seven years ago this summer.

[B]

It'll be eight years ago this summer. It would have been eight years since I filmed Drag Race. I'm like, girl, I don't really. They were like. They were asking, when you, like, do, like, an acting challenge and you all watch it on tv, but is there a tv? And I was like, I think I remember. They roll out a tv.

[C]

I think, yeah, they roll out a TV when you.

[B]

And we, like, watched it and then they rolled it away.

[C]

But it's a very rough cut. It's not like the cut you end up seeing the final thing. It's a rough cut that they, like, did. Cause you filmed it the day before, like, in the afternoon.

[B]

What I'm getting at, y', all, is write down your thoughts, your feelings and your experiences. Journal, y'. All, I'm telling you, Journal. You'll be so happy. You wrot not just how you're feeling, but literally what you did that day. You think you will remember forever, baby, I promise you, you will not remember. This shit is going to start slowly fading away from your brain. So think of what you did. Write it down, and write how you felt so you can go back and recall it.

[C]

Bitch. The other day, so I'm doing a little cleanup. You know, I'm always cleaning something, but I found my journal from middle school. I gotta. I would not read it online or online. I had to read it to you. The big feel I thought I was feeling for it.

[B]

Well, that was real for you at the time.

[C]

You think I'm dramatic now? You would swear, bitch. I thought I was Shakespeare, bitch. I was in that little black and white journal, bitch. I was ready to risk it all. I was like, what the fuck is wrong? But also just using language that was just way too advanced. I was not feeling those things. I mean, okay, I was feeling that, but it was not real. It was not real. When I'm back home, a year back home, I have to read it to you. I sound ridiculous.

[B]

Well, in the moment, I'm sure it does. I was thinking about this the other day. I binged the third season of Barry, which is Bill Hader's HBO show where he's a hitman who's taking acting classes. It's actually a really good show. And what happens in Barry is the, how to put this like the stakes are really high. It's literally life and death. It is literally life and death. When you watch, when you watch like Avengers Endgame, the stakes are so high. It is not just life and death, it is the world. It's world ending catastrophic stakes. But then when you watch the Great British Bake off, the stakes feel the same. And it's just cupcakes.

[C]

Actually the States are medium well

[B]

put up ting. But it's all within the confines of that thing. So in your mind, even though in seventh grade you were just doing great British Bake off, it still felt like

[C]

Avengers Endgame, you know, I guess, but I have to read C Bob I, I, I sound, I cannot. It's, it's so cringy. Just, just let you know. It's very cringy. Very cringy.

[B]

Sometimes when I used to wait tables, if I ever would. When you eat tables, your, your ultimate night nightmare is forgetting to put an order. You look back at your table, you think yourself, where's the food?

[C]

You.

[B]

And you, you panic. You go check the machine. You realize you never put the fucking order in. You are livid. You run to the kitchen, you have to beg them. No one wants to go to the kitchen. Ask for a favor. Because the kitchen is, they're the, they're horrible people in the kitchen are the, they're just the meanest, the meanest people. They're just unnecessarily mean for no reason. And then sometimes I would just sit there and I'd be myself. You know what? It's just food. No one's starving. No one here. No one starves and comes to the Jekyll and High Club. No one's starving here. I always tell myself when I was like freaking out and panicking and I was like, it's the end of the world. I just slow down and say, you know what? No one's starving. No one's. This is okay. It's going to be okay. These folks are going to get their food. They're going to get their food and, and everything's gonna be fine work.

[C]

So next time you're waiting late with their food, just know that they back there from like, this bitch will be fine. She ain't dying, she ain't starving.

[B]

And you will be fine because it's just, it's just.

[C]

But sometimes, but also, you're also there cause you want timely service. Like, I didn't come because I wanted to wait 25, 30 minutes for my entree. That's also true, too.

[B]

My goal was never to make them wait. But sometimes there's a way to. You make a mistake. And what I'm saying is, it's really not the end of the world. It's just food.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

They're just chicken tenders. They're just chicken tenders.

[C]

And sometimes just because you don't mean something to. Just because it was an accident doesn't mean there aren't ramifications and repercussions. Bitch. Now I'm hand grunting.

[B]

I didn't say there weren't ramifications. All I'm saying is, if you're in that scenario, just think to yourself, it's really not that big of a deal. It's just food. This is not life and death. This isn't even sickness and non sickness. This is just chicken tenders.

[C]

But also. But also. And it also. Sometimes you have to. When my food is late, I'm not someone that's like, oh, my God, where's my food? I can't believe I'll be irritated. But I also, what my waiter's disposition is, will reflect how I react, right? If they're like, if this is the third time I've asked and they're still like, I don't know, man, or they have a little tude, then I'm gonna have a little tood. But if the waiter's like, hey, I'm really sorry. I forgot to put the order in. No worries, you know? And it comes.

[B]

Are you Monet? Listen to me and listen to me carefully. All you waiters, I can tell you never waited tables. You never admit that you forgot to put the food in you. You begin to lie, steal, barter and cheat. No, man, no matter what. No may, no me, no me, no matter what. You tell them the food is coming. I don't care if the kitchen is shut down. You tell them, let me go check. It should be. I don't know. I don't know why it's taking so long. Let me go check. The kitchen's overwhelmed. The kitchen's overwhelmed. I've heard that a lot, but never you forgot to put it in. Never.

[C]

That's been a thing, especially at empanada mama. And then you've been sitting there for 25 minutes waiting for your empanadas. And she'll be like, oh, my God, sorry I forgot to put it. It's just so busy and like, it's all right, girl. Make sure you put my empanadas in, bitch. I'm hungry. And then they come back to your food.

[B]

That's cause you. But you never got had a table go bananas on you. You've never had a table lose their app when you are. I mean, you probably had a little bit of this at the Yale Club, but I don't know if it was the same at the Yale Club like I imagine. Cause I. You ever see these videos of people getting people at the front desk, like people who work at hotel front desk, having people go crazy on them?

[C]

Yes, because they, because they get there,

[B]

they're tired, they're expecting to lay down and their room's not ready.

[C]

You're broken and you're tired.

[B]

Yeah. You're broken down and tired and you feel like that's how people are with their food. They're broken down and tired and you're like, oh my God. But having one table go crazy on you is enough to traumatize you to never, never be that honest again. I would never say I forgot to bring in food ever. Never. Not once.

[C]

When I worked at the Holiday Inn jfk. Just to give you all a point of reference, the Holiday Inn at JFK was the kind of hotel that sometimes did hourly rates. So that tells you the kind of clientele that they will often have at the Holiday Inn jfk. And when I tell you if. But also people who booked the hotel because it's right by the airport and families coming, whatever. So you got a mixture of things, but oftentimes they were people who just wanted for an hour or two and the people that would come with them. So when you, when someone wanted.

[B]

Why are we speaking in code? Oh, prostitutes, sex workers, hookers.

[C]

You know, ever since my. My little video got demonetized on fucking on TikTok, I've been, I've been walking around unalive, like I'm just so scared.

[B]

What video? What video? Gotta take what video?

[C]

I had to do a gig for. I was talking about on live the other day on. Yeah, so yeah, some hookers and the prostitutes like, and, and, and the people who would want. Who would be coming with them, like drug dealers, whatever. And one time a drug dealer was at the front desk at Holiday and JFK and they wanted a room for an hour. We didn't have any more rooms for an hour. But he had called and someone told him that we had a room, so. But of course, my fucking ass. Working the overnight shift to audit. He comes to the fucking thing at one o' clock in the morning. He's like, hey man, I'm Here for a room. I was like, oh, we don't have any room. We're completely sold out tonight. No, no, no. Yeah, y' all do. And I was like, we don't have Internet tonight. We're completely sold out. He like, man, I called somebody, said he had a room. I was like, I don't know who you spoke to, but we don't have any rooms. When I tell you this motherfucker had a gun in his waistband. Cause he had on a white tee and some denim shorts. And I was seeing his gun and I'm like, yo, is he, I mean, I didn't think I was gonna get shot at the front desk, but he was getting so irate. Cause he was so irritated that he drove here from wherever the fuck he

[B]

drove from, from a room for an

[C]

hour and kneeling around the room and he just, and I mean, this bad bitch. When I heard she had titties, she had Arcia sized titties and like a silver tube top dress and like some pink skirt. I would never forget it. But I was like, but he did not get wild. But he, he did not get wild with his gun. But he was getting wild verbally. And I was like, not this motherfucker cussing me out for this goddamn room.

[B]

There's this video a while back of that's how a while back. Y' all know, y' all know I'm on fight porn Reddit. And there was this guy at the front desk like, and he like slapped his girlfriend and she went crazy good. I mean, she went crazy on him. They were going blow for blow. They were going, they were fighting like Rocky and Apollo. Like it was crowd.

[C]

Was it a back slap? Like a backhand or this way I care.

[B]

It was not soft. It was very hard. And then she started kicking him in the nuts and like beating him. No, she had these, she was kicking, she was all kicks. So every time she pumps, every time. No, she was barefoot. Every time he tried to come close, she would kick him. But her legs, she had big fish, thick, strong legs. So he would scoot back like three feet. And he was a, and he was a big strong guy, but she was also a big strong. I was like, this is wild. Like, I, I, I'm obviously not judging because I know that people end up in relation. And I'm not going to be, I'm acting like I'm going to find that. There's no way I'm going to find this. People end up in relationships that are violatile, but it's just like, I Just feel bad for anyone who's in a relationship like that because it feels like it's just nonstop. Never. Not like, I don't even. I can't even fathom it. If you can't have reprieve at home, where do you have it?

[C]

If you have a what at home?

[B]

If you can't have reprieve at home, then, like, where can you have it? You know?

[C]

Yeah. When you get asked to do fundraisers, like, what is your reaction? Like, let's say, I don't know, like, for example, myself, Patty and I just did. My God, I'm having a brain fart.

[B]

You did a fundraiser?

[C]

I just did a fundraiser. Oh, my God. What was going on with Trevor Project? And it was in New York City, and I was supposed to. It was like a six hour. Well, it was more than six hours, but it wanted me to host the show for six hours. And I was like, ooh, baby, baby, baby. And I was like, that's fine. I was like, what I would do is I would come for the first two hours, hold the first two hours, and I'd be like, but out of drag. I'd be like, oh, I have to. So we're gonna do a thing that people would donate and send money, and if we got to a certain amount, I would go and get in drag and do the rest of the show in drag. So that was gonna be the thing. But I ended up having to be going vocal rest, and I did not. I couldn't talk. So that derailed the whole thing. But that was. So I. Like, when I can do a fundraiser, and it's like a fun thing like that. Cause to me, that would have been exc. The whole night be like, all right, y', all, we're at $2,497. We need three. If we get three more dollars. If we get a $2,500, I will go and get in drag, like, doing a fundraiser. Especially when you all should do.

[B]

If you go back and do that, what you should do is like, all right, y', all, for $500, I'll put on my foundation. Okay? For $200, I will put on my eyebrows. Okay? For this much money, I'll put on lashes, I'll put on lips, I'll put on a wig, I'll put on a corset, because they can pay for all the little chunks. I did a birthday stream for Black Core Town hall on my birthday when I turned 30.

[C]

God, five.

[B]

I did a 24 hour stream. We ended up raising $70,000 in this one day or close to. Like maybe it was somewhere between six and seven thousand dollars. And I, I did stream. I did. Had Streamed for a 24. For a 24.

[C]

Did you sleep?

[B]

I remember I slept. I had to. I wasn't gonna sleep, but I had to. But people stayed and watched me sleep. It was crazy. And then I woke up and like we, I remember we did. I had, I had a lot. I did. I worked out with people. I. I did a gifting moment where I opened my gifts. I did a retrospective, a look back on Facebook where I looked through all my pictures on Facebook. I got in drag, I moved locations. I played video games. I did a podcast with you. I did. We did. Or we. Or we just spoke for an hour. Like a live thing. I did. I did a chat with Peppermint. I did a cabaret show in my living room. I got out of drag. There was a lot. There was a lot going on.

[C]

Damn.

[B]

I might do it again one day, but I'd have to organize it better. But it was insane.

[C]

I should do a 24 hour TikTok stream and take one of my day for 20 anyway. Well, you raised $70,000 for Blackware Town hall in that stream. And what can you tell us what every dollar went to? Can you give us the itemized how

[B]

you guys go to our website? Because we are a not for profit. So all this information is quite public. Thank you for asking.

[C]

What do you think of GoFundMe culture? What do you think about crowdsourcing to fundraise as a rule?

[B]

As a rule, I don't share people gofundme anymore because there were some scams on gofundme a while back and then it turned out that this girl was lying about what she was saying she wanted her money for. There was a big call out on TikTok and I was like, you know what? I don't want to share the wrong someone's GoFundMe that I found out that I shared a scam. You know what I mean? So I will donate to certain gofundme, but I don't, as a rule, I don't share GoFundMes anymore.

[C]

Yeah, I agree. I mean, I have shared GoFundMe me, but they have. Like, I. I've read so many things where people were like, they were. They were bullshitting or the person the money was supposed to go to, they didn't get it. The person ended up running away with $122,000. Like you hear that shit so much. So it really is hard to decipher what's real and what's not. I mean, you know, even with when I. So Andy did acl. No, the AIDS lifecycle alc. He did that. And to me, that to me. Cause, you know, this is that big parent company, so each person who does the alc, they get a link that you can donate to so they can hit a certain thing. But that money is all funneled to AIDS Life Cycle. So, like, stuff like that, I'm a little okay with one is like, something independent, like a GoFundMe. And let's say I start a GoFundMe for Bob's to fix Bob's wig, and then I'm like, all we need is $200. And then I get the $200, and then a month later, Bob comes pop out the same, and everybody's like, what happened? Monat made some money, but I was like, I ain't get that money. Like, how do you. How do we fairly go back to.

[B]

Why would my wig need to be fixed? What are you saying about Cha Cha arena wigs? Monet? Do you want. Do you have a thought about Cha Rena wigs?

[C]

Do you want to do. Bitch, that wiggs to be fixed? Like, Like a damn. Like a. Like. Like a stray dog, honey, do you want to do.

[B]

Do you want to talk directly to Chacha Arena?

[C]

This needs to be fixed, too.

[B]

I'm not talking. I don't. I don't care about. I'm talking about my wig.

[C]

I love when Bo. This nigga's voice goes, I don't care.

[B]

I don't care about that. About that anyway. When they do that thing where you insult somebody and say, well, me too, or something. Be like, man, you fat as hell. Huh? Oh, I'm fat, too. Okay, bitch, we ain't talking about you. We ain't talking about you. Also, for the record, I don't think fat is an insult. I just want to point that out there.

[C]

Oh, this is a look. Look.

[B]

That's the look.

[C]

You don't think.

[B]

I mean, it depends on what you're going for. What are you.

[C]

I could do comments on my side. On my sideburns. Please, can you just comment? Give me a compliment on my sideburns?

[B]

No. Why?

[C]

I have not had sad sideburns since I was 21 years old.

[B]

I have literally sat here and begged you for compliments on this podcast for literally five years. You've never given me one because I asked you for it. So you think I'm about to give you a compliment when I asked you for one. No, you've never given me apple compliment when I asked you. You for one. So no, I will not be giving you any comments on your shitty little sideburns.

[C]

My God.

[B]

Absolutely not.

[C]

Someone's feeling a type of way.

[B]

I don't feel a type of way. But what I do know is I get. I give what I get. Why.

[C]

Why my sideburns got to be shitty though? Why'd I gotta be shitty?

[B]

Well, that's up to the wig maker. I don't know why. Ask the person who made the wig.

[C]

Okay, since we doling on insults, I'll keep that in mind. What community service are you volunteering for?

[B]

Currently, I'm not volunteering for. I don't have anything that I'm volunteer for right now. I mean, I don't volunteer at Black. At Black Core Town Hall. I mean, I'm. I. I'm paid to work at Black Krypton Hall. We're not a. We're not for profit. It's not the same thing as a. As a non. It's not the same. It's not quite the same. It's not like. It's not like I don't try to think of something that's. That's not like it's. Whatever. Long story short, I, I am paid to work there, but I am proud to say that over at. Over at Black Corps Omaha, we have been able to donate over $100,000 to other charities, which is. And we have paid out almost, Almost a million dollars to artists and creators and tastemakers and community leaders. I'm very, very proud of that

[C]

[B]

[C]

[B]

[C]

You have a picture of the. Do you have a picture of the check? In my hand.

[B]

[B]

[C]

I waited. I ordered my couch in March. I got it in August. So March, April, May, June, July, and I got it July. So five months I waited for my couch. How long do y' all wait for your couch?

[B]

Like, three weeks, if that. What would you say, Jake? Our couches came, like, in no time.

[C]

They were like, oh, hey, my couch is very. I love my couch. It's a Crate and Barrel, like, deep couch. Sleeping on it is great. I love you know who. So I was. When I came here for Drag the Weekend I shot 2018 DragCon, my first DragCon, which I did my little money thing, and I shot Soak it Up that weekend. I stayed on Taylor O'Rear's couch, and Taylor had the smaller version of this couch. And I was like, oh, my God, this is the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on. He's like, guy goes from Crayton Barrel. And when I was time to move and get in my new place, they were selling that couch, and I got it.

Jealous of what? That I don't bring people together?
