Bob the Drag Queen
My name is Bob the Drag Queen,
Monet x Change
and I'm Monet x Change.
Bob the Drag Queen
And this is sibling rivalry.
Monet x Change
On this week's episode, Bob invalidates a fan at the meet and greet Monet
Bob the Drag Queen
hates on Labu boos.
Monet x Change
And we find out what made Bob say this.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is not a company I like, like, nor do I ever want to hear it. And we find out what made Mo say this.
Monet x Change
I think people would never listen to a podcast again.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's wake it up. Before, as I looked at myself, I thought to myself, oh, I need some earrings. And then all of a sudden, Monat gets up and what do you. What do you have in your hand, Mo? You didn't have earrings on, though.
Monet x Change
I always have. I wear these earrings literally every episode of the pod. What the fuck are you talking about?
Bob the Drag Queen
Watch your language and the fact that you have the. The f slur on your shirt. And you know that my Aunt Hazel will watch. This is crazy to me. You know my Aunt Hazel watches this and is a fan of yours.
Monet x Change
Honestly, Susie toot a with this merch. I love it.
Bob the Drag Queen
You remember time with Drag Queen Told you not to say that for her because she didn't want her family members to see you saying the F word.
Monet x Change
No, it was not saying the N word.
Bob the Drag Queen
And it was a white queen, too.
Monet x Change
No, it was a black queen.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, I know.
Jacob
I'm just kidding.
Bob the Drag Queen
Imagine. So Monet sent me a video from I Heart Erica, and it's heart with an A, no E, about this lady complimenting Megan thee stallion, about how her song makes her want to fight.
Monet x Change
It was at the Vanity Fair war party. And Megan thee stallion walks up to this woman and she's. Oh, my God. I just. I just. I just love you so much. I just love your hair. And your music, like, really empowers me. And it's like. I just, like, she's, like, overwhelmed with emotion that she's meeting Megan thee stallion. And it's like, you know, she's excited to meet Megan.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I will say this. And the lady is basically being like, actually, can we just include the video? Here it is.
Monet x Change
Oh, yeah, here's the video.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know that was a little long, but I. I will say this. There is some validity to what she's saying about if you are doing something that is not, like, the American standard in a space that is supposed to be the American standard. Like, for example, if you are painting, if you're. If you're a guy who paints your nails at the gay clubs, unless your nails are cut, no one's going to mention it. Literally, no one will mention it. But when I used to paint my nails on the subway and at work or certain people, usually only straight people will compliment my nails now, y', all. My nails. I think Monat knew me during this time. Do you know when I spent my nails?
Monet x Change
Black, girl. And paint is a strong word, because within five hours, cheaped.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was gonna get there. Please calm down. I can. I can tell my own story.
Monet x Change
Painted. That's hilarious.
Bob the Drag Queen
My nails were chipped all the time. And I mean, all. In fact, one time, I got called into the office at the Jekyll and High Club, and the. The manager was like, we need to talk about your painted nails. And I was about to be like, you can. I wish you would tell me how to paint my nails. I wish you would say something homophobic to me and tell me I can't paint my nails. And he was like, it's because they're always chipped.
Monet x Change
Yeah, girl. He was like, you can paint your nails always chipped. I don't think I've ever seen your nails fully done.
Bob the Drag Queen
So when someone complimented my nails, they were not complimenting that I had my nails. They were not complimenting the job of the nail painting. I used to paint them myself, and I only did one coat.
Unknown Speaker 1
I.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I never did a top coat or anything. They were complimenting the fact that I had the audacity to paint my nails. And it wasn't. It was like 2008. It wasn't even. Like, it was not like I was doing it in, like, 70s or 60s. They were just complimenting the fact that I had the audacity to paint my nails. And I think that that is what's happening with this woman here. She is complimenting that Megan Thee stallion has the audacity to be so black, even when she's not in a black space. I.
Monet x Change
You think so? I think that. I mean, I think with celebrity and celebrities, it's a little different. I'm like. I mean, there are celebrities that I'm not. I'm not shocked by their. That they're audacious. I'm just. I would just be excited to see them. Like, I don't like. And again, maybe because the premise of this woman's argument is that it is a microaggression to come up to Megan Thee stallion at a Vanity Fair party and be like, oh, my God, I love your music. And it empowers me. Like, well, she is an interviewer.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's not a random woman.
Monet x Change
Right. So, so, so, so, so. I mean, we're all random people.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I mean, she was specifically meant
Monet x Change
to go up to celebrity part. Erica is saying that and, and shout out. To shout out to Erica. I love her. I've seen some of her content. So I think Erica's premise is that it's microaggressive. And I'm saying I don't think it's a microaggression. I think that. I agree with Erica. That does feel like a lot. But I think Megan is probably used to that. I mean, if Megan desire walks down 5th Avenue, she walks down any street, she's going to be inundated by people who love her sound, her body, her hair, her music, all that stuff. So it is a lot to be complimented on a red carpet like that. But I think that is a casualty of celebrity, like people being obsessed with all things you. So I, I guess, I guess I don't see where the microaggression comes in. And maybe I just need to look in, like think about it more. But I just don't see how it's microaggressive to, to be, to be worshiping her. What she's known for, which is her, her attitude and her music and all that stuff. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's read some of the comments. And what is wild is what Hannah and friend is one is the one who is out of place at an award show, not sold out stadium tour. Megan, be for real. I don't think I understand that that comment.
Monet x Change
I don't get it either. You don't get it? Oh, yeah. Because people saying like it was Hannah. Because I think Hannah is just like a, a social media person for careful. If I'm wrong, I think she's not like a. She's not a reporter, she's not a celebrity. She's like a. She's a social media girly. They're saying she's out of place at an award show. Not Megan.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe dope queen Thebes, the comedian said, I once had a white lady tell me apropos of nothing that she would love to go to Wakanda. And I was like, well, they wouldn't want your ass there. So be well.
Monet x Change
Well, that's a microversion. Come up to a black person saying they would love you in Wakanda is crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Lizzie, Izzy said to any fellow white women here in the comments who may be triggered and wondering what's okay to say. People can sense when you're sincere versus when you're overcompensating. Hannah could have just said something normal, like oh, my God. I'm a huge fan. Blank song album is my favorite. How is your night so far? Just relax and treat people like people speak how you typically speak. You don't have to put on a whole new Persona and to interact with black women. To be fair, I haven't actually seen the actual source source material. I saw that one little clip.
Monet x Change
Yeah, I just wanted one little clip too. But also that I want to say people react differently. Right? I, I like Rachel Bloom. I'm not a huge Rachel Bloom fan. When, when, when I had Rachel Bloom over at my house and, and she came over for a game night with Kimchi, Kim had a big reaction because she's a big racial Bloom fan. I don't think Kim is. You know what I mean? Like, people just react differently to different celebrity. Like how what they like?
Jacob
Ix.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't say this name said Telling a DV vict a domestic violence victim. Their music makes you want to incite violence. Is the epitome of being tone deaf. That one has 15,000 likes. This reminds me of when my boss saw my natural hair for the first time and said, it looks so big and crazy and gorgeous.
Jacob
Huh.
Monet x Change
And
Bob the Drag Queen
anyway, yeah, so I, I, I do see how it could can be. I mean, there are a couple, there are compliments that I do not like getting from white people. I'm gonna say that right now. There are certain comments I'm like, I don't, I don't need to hear that from you. Specifically, Specifically, I do not want a white person telling me they think I speak well. I don't want any compliments on how
Monet x Change
I speak, which is something that happens on Traders. Have you seen this? But on Traders, when people say, that's a, you know, it happened, I think it happened a lot in season two, actually. But it wasn't only towards black people. They would just, they, it's, it's like a complimental traitor. Like, you speak so well at the round table. But they're not saying it. I don't think in a microaggressive way. They're just saying, like, you, that meaning you're very convincing and people listen to you. It's not a like, oh, you speak.
Bob the Drag Queen
The comment I will take. Well, I will take the comment being like, you're really good at, you're really good at convincing people. But, like, you are well spoken, or you speak well or you're good at speaking English. That is not a company I like, nor do I ever want to hear it.
Monet x Change
Yeah, I don't like it either. But I think in the prime of the traders, I'm like, I think it's a compliment, but.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, how. Give me the compliment and I'll tell you if it feels like a compliment.
Monet x Change
Okay. You're at the round table.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just finished. I just finished chewing up Dylan. Dylan Nephron.
Monet x Change
And then all the.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you're. Who are you, by the way? This matters. Who are you?
Monet x Change
I'm a.
Bob the Drag Queen
From the house. Which one?
Monet x Change
Oh, I am. Who's on your season? I am Dolores. Ok. And I'm like Bob directly. I voted for you anyway because you speak so well and at this table. That is a power here. And I don't think I will ever be able to discern if you're a traitor or a faithful because you speak really well. So I voted for you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't like how that. I don't like how that sounds. Now, let me rephrase it, Bob. I voted for you because you are very convincing when you speak. People listen. You have the power to convict people. You. You give people conviction. And if you are misinformed, you can misinform people even if you're not intending to. So that's why I'm voting for you, because I think you're a danger in the house. That is a compliment I will accept.
Monet x Change
But I also think you're a little more eloquent. Right? I think that. Cause you know, you, you. Cause you speak really well. So I think that someone would.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy.
Monet x Change
I think that you have a. Maybe some people can't express themselves as well as you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just don't like it. I don't like the compliment. You're well spoken. I really hate it.
Monet x Change
I mean, I hate it too.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't like it either. You never get that.
Monet x Change
I'm devil's advocating.
Bob the Drag Queen
You have never gotten that compliment in your life. Let's be clear.
Monet x Change
No one was here, no one was a college graduate. So you can't even pronounce the word ear. All that being said, I don't like it either. But I mean, I think it's something I've heard a lot on, maybe because I've heard it a lot in like the context of traitors on the uk, America, all of them, they like. It's a compliment on the show that, oh, you speak really well, so we got to get rid of you.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's a chance that I'm sure some white people have been told they're well spoken, but I. Because it's not me. Nick, you ever been told you're well spoken? You are so Nick went, oh, come on, Jacob. Have you ever been. Do you, can you recall being told you are so well spoken, Jacob?
Jacob
No, I have not.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I have had other microaggressions put on me that, outside of that, that I really don't like. I've had a few. That, that's my, that one is probably
Monet x Change
my biggest pet peeve, though, that you're well spoken.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or, or specifically when they said, did you see Trump telling the president of Liberia.
Monet x Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
That he speaks English really well?
Monet x Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Were you educated? Nigga, I'm the president of fucking Liberia. Yes, I was educated. This may shock you. Where did you learn English in Liberia? Where the national language is English. Where we speak English. Where did you learn English? That's insane. Have you seen the clip of Trump going. And man, I'm telling you, when they fly these planes, they go skedaddle. You know what skedaddle means? It's a word that means skedaddle.
Monet x Change
Haven't seen that one. No.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy.
Monet x Change
That is a person who is in charge of our country. That's a person who. I already crashed out this morning. I can't crash out again. I'm sorry.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's Trump's highest form of education. Nothing to matter, Nothing to make sure.
Monet x Change
High school.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, he went to college because there's a famous story of him getting beat up by his father at college or did he beat up his son at college?
Monet x Change
What do you mean beat up?
Bob the Drag Queen
His son got beat up in college? No, his older son. The ones who were like in their 40s. Either Trump walked in and slapped the out of one of his sons in front of everyone or Trump got slapped or his dad slapped, shot at him in front of everyone. I believe Trump slapped the shit out of the, the, the other, the, the, the, the one who Junior and Eric.
Monet x Change
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I think the story is allegedly, allegedly that Trump went into his college and like slapped the shit out of him in front of everybody.
Monet x Change
Why?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't, I, I, I, I vaguely remember the details of the story.
Jacob
It says he lived, he was in. So he, his highest degree is a BS in economics from.
Monet x Change
Yes, for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
A bullshit.
Jacob
He showed his, he showed up to pick his son for a baseball game and slapped his kid across the face when he wasn't dressed for the occasion. He was wearing a Yankee jersey, I guess, and maybe that was in Port, I don't know. Oh, yeah, he was wearing a W, A Yankee jersey. And he wanted his son to be wearing a suit. He said, put on a suit and
Bob the Drag Queen
meet Me outside and he slapped them.
Monet x Change
That's wild. I can't believe we never heard about this story before. Have I never heard about this story
Bob the Drag Queen
in front of people?
Monet x Change
My mom. I think my mom slapped me one time. I told you. We used to go to the supermarket, and I used to just. The intrusive, fat thoughts would just permeate my mind, and I would just go down and just take things and put in the cart against her will, and we'll get to the cash register, and they would like, again. She couldn't remember them ringing up things at the end of the shopping trip. I would have put, like, mad things that she did not put it in there. She gave me a little in the
Bob the Drag Queen
face, like, how hard Hit your hand Hard. She hit you.
Monet x Change
She'd be like, oh.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I want to be clear. I would never hit my child.
Monet x Change
I want to be clear.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would never hit my kid at all. But that just doesn't seem like that much of a. That seems like she's trying to get your attention. And to be clear, I would never. Don't hit your kids.
Jacob
Would you do that to your kid?
Bob the Drag Queen
No. No. No.
Jacob
So that's not trying to get her attention.
Monet x Change
Thank you. Thank you, Jacob.
Bob the Drag Queen
My mom used to pop me in the back of the head, but it was never like. It was never to inflict pain. It was like to be like, I'm watching you, and would you do that to your kid? I might pop my kid on the back of the head, but it's not.
Monet x Change
Give me your hand. What's the pop like?
Bob the Drag Queen
This girl. It's like a girl.
Monet x Change
You might as well not even do it. The hell is that?
Bob the Drag Queen
It's just to give her attention. It's to be like. It's like I am watching you.
Jacob
I mean, I don't think that's a pop.
Monet x Change
Yeah, that's not a pop, girl. That's a. That's like a gentle little nudge. A pop would be like, my mother.
Bob the Drag Queen
My mother. My mother did not. I. I was not. There was no corporal punishment in my house. No, there was.
Monet x Change
Why do you want to pop your kid?
Bob the Drag Queen
It's not. It's like. I mean, I got pop like my mom. I would pop someone. Like, my mom popped me. There was corporal punishment options, and my brother would choose corporal punishment, and I would choose not to get corporal punishment. But I was not spanked. I was not hit. I got. I've been. I was slapped once, and I was choked once, and that was a slap. It wasn't like your mom massaging Your cheeks with essential oils. I got slapped.
Monet x Change
Banana essence.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Yeah.
Monet x Change
Wait, what did you do? What did you do to get slapped?
Bob the Drag Queen
You want to guess?
Monet x Change
Talking.

All. I wouldn't stop talking.

Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day, I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like, I can't stop. I'm addicted.

Bob the Drag Queen
It was before third grade, so probably eight or seven.
Monet x Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I was riding on the middle console.
Monet x Change
The middle console? What do you mean, the middle?
Bob the Drag Queen
Cons, you know, there's a front seat, a driver, a passenger seat, and then, like, that thing in the middle. Oh, yeah, I was sitting on that.
Monet x Change
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
And. Or I might have been sitting in the middle console in the back, like, when the thing lifts down. I was sitting on that part because I remember her turning around, and I really wanted to go to one store, and she was like, we'll see. It might have been Toys R Us. It was probably towards R Us. And I was just begging and begging, and she kept saying, we'll see.
Monet x Change
And.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then I was like. I started screaming and, like, crying and being like, I want to go. I want to go. I want to go. And then I started, like. I think I started grabbing the seats and, like, rocking back and forth and being, like, causing a scene. And then she turned around, slapped me.
Jacob
Work.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then she Choked me once when I was in like 8th grade.
Monet x Change
What'd you do then?
Bob the Drag Queen
I started crying. I was talking. Yeah, because she needed me to. She needed, she, I was getting ready to go to school and she told me to do something and I didn't
Monet x Change
want to do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
And she was like, the conversation's over. And I was like, well, well, you can be over. You don't have to say anything else. I want to say my piece so you can be done with your part. But I'm not done talking. So you don't have to respond, but I'm going to say something. So now what? And then she started like looking. I was taller than she's like looking up at me. I might have been in ninth grade. She was like, chris stopped talking. And I was talking over her. So she would get louder, then I would get louder and I was like, I'm going to say my piece. Like I need to be heard. I'm going to say my pie.
Monet x Change
Of course you did.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then she kept being like, shut up. And I would not shut up. And I was just going on. Then she started choking me and yelling, shut up. And then I started crying and I went to school.
Monet x Change
Yeah, you. Would you be the type of kid I, I, I had to beat your ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
So your cheek slap was the only corporal punish you ever got ever?
Monet x Change
No, no. Well, we got beat in school, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, at home.
Monet x Change
I mean at, it was, it was mostly slaps. Like maybe my dad stopped like that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Your mom never like lost her temper
Monet x Change
in like it was like that, like slapped. I got slapped a few times like that. And my dad think, I think my dad beat me like maybe twice or three times. I don't, I really don't remember, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you were also like low key fighting for your life against Sean. You were like fighting for your life.
Monet x Change
Yeah, Sean and I used to fight. Sean busted my head.
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like he's too old to be, I feel like he was too old to be fighting you. How old is he?
Monet x Change
Sean is six years older than me.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's too old to be fighting your little brother. If you're gonna, if you and your siblings are like getting physical, there should not be more than two years between you.
Monet x Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Otherwise it is low key child abuse. If a 16 year old is what, fighting a, hitting a 10 year old.
Monet x Change
That was big stock though.
Bob the Drag Queen
What a. I've seen Sean.
Monet x Change
Have you seen Sean pictures? Yeah, Sean's a big guy, so it
Bob the Drag Queen
don't matter how big you were. He's bigger.
Monet x Change
Bigger.
Bob the Drag Queen
So that's too old to be hitting. That's too old to be hitting your younger sibling.
Monet x Change
I was. I was. I was annoying. Like, I was do the thing. Like, he would be in his room playing his game. I would literally, in the middle of him playing Needed for speed or something, I would walk in the room and I would do the thing. Like, I walk in, I'm like, what you doing? He's playing the game. Like, kevin, get out. I'm like, no. Kevin, get out. I'm like, no. And I would go. I would hover my finger over the power button and be like, what you gonna do?
Bob the Drag Queen
I believe all this. All of this. I believe.
Monet x Change
Oh, then what you gonna do? Like, kevin, I'm not playing. And then I would put it off in the middle of a game and run.
Jacob
Literally.
Bob the Drag Queen
I believe this story. So I have a cousin who's. How old is scooter? Probably 40.
Monet x Change
Scooter Braun is your cousin?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Scooter Braun is my cousin. Scooter's probably 46. And he used to hit me. He used to specifically thump me.
Monet x Change
What does thump mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
He would do his finger like this, cock it back, and he would thump really, really hard. It was very painful. He used to thump me a lot, and he was too old to be hitting me. So me and Justin would fight very rarely. Maybe two, three fights her whole life.
Monet x Change
And Luna, how physical would they get?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, like a fight. Like punches and kicks.
Monet x Change
Like, like, like fucking boxing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, as well as children can box.
Monet x Change
What age?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think our last fight was probably. I was living in Phoenix City, so I was probably in, like, fifth grade. He was probably in, like, seventh grade or maybe like, third and fifth grade.
Monet x Change
Okay. So, yeah, so, like, as teens, y' all didn't fight?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, one time, Justin assaulted me. Okay, I'm doing too much. One time, Justin, like, got physical with me. When we were in college, we were roommates together, and I was so gagged.
Monet x Change
Why? Oh, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
Monet x Change
What, What? What warranted that?
Bob the Drag Queen
So we were. Justin and I were getting ready to go somewhere together. We were, like, walking somewhere to do something together. And whether. Man, y', all, we're adults. Yeah. I am 18. Justin is 20.
Monet x Change
Uh huh.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I. We had like a. Not a row, but every room. You could, like, it was like a circle. You could walk from one room. You could walk from the kitchen to the dining room to the living room, then my room off to the side, and you have to go through Justin's room to get to the kitchen. Or you can go the other way. You didn't have to go to his room. But we were. We both walked to Justin's room. We're just sitting there talking about what we're gonna do that day. And then I. I went to go tie my shoe, and I put my shoe on his bed.
Monet x Change
That's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
To tie my shoe.
Monet x Change
That's crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is crazy. Um, but Justin could have been like, don't put your shoe on my bed. And I would have very happily taken my shoe. I would have been like, oh, I wasn't thinking. Justin grabbed my leg so hard. He tried to, like, yank me off of my one foot. Like, tried to make me lose my balance. And I've always been bigger than Justin. Or at least since, like, fifth grade, I've been bigger than Justin. So I like. Or kindergarten, probably. So I, like, stomped my foot down so he couldn't take me down. And he was, like, huffing and puffing, and I didn't even know where it came from. I was like, what? Just. I remember thinking to myself, what just happened? Like, to me, it was not clear that he was mad about that. And I remember thinking to myself, to me, what it felt like was out of nowhere, Justin just grabbed me and started yanking on my body and is very, very angry. And I remember thinking to myself, what is going on? He was like, don't put your foot on my bed. And I was like, you could have just said that. I don't think. I apologize. I didn't. I probably didn't apologize. I was very young and I was very angry that he. I was just shocked. And then we had to fucking go hang out together. We had to, like, leave the house together.
Monet x Change
That was the physical altercation.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is the only adult physical alteration me and Justin have ever gotten. That was the. That was. That was. I was 18. This is 21 years ago.
Monet x Change
Yeah, I haven't.
Bob the Drag Queen
I haven't.
Monet x Change
I have not been in a physical fight with anyone. A sibling of a friend, a friend or foe since middle school.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can't relate.
Monet x Change
I know. I wanted to give a wonder, like, can you still fight? I don't know if I can still fight. I think I can.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just thinking of the day. I don't think I can still. I. I don't. I'm not interested in finding out.
Monet x Change
Yeah, me either.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to be very clear. I have no. If you see me in the street, I don't want to know if I can still fight.
Monet x Change
But sometimes the occasion arise. I feel like. I feel like. I still. I feel like it's one of the. One of the things like riding a bike. Like, if I get mad and pissed off, I'm sure I can fight. I just haven't done it since middle school.
Bob the Drag Queen
What if it's not like riding a bike? What if it's like coding?
Monet x Change
I think coding is. I think coding is probably riding a bike too. If you know how to code, you know how to code.
Bob the Drag Queen
There are certain things that I know how to do, and then I don't do them for a while. Like, what's one Sewing.
Monet x Change
You haven't sewed in a while. You can still sew, I guess, also.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, like, honestly, it's usually computer stuff. Like, when I haven't DJ in a while, I have to practice again because.
Monet x Change
Oh, yeah, I do that too.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm like, wait, what's the cue button? What's this button? What's that again? And if I have not. When I play fortnite and I haven't played fortnite in a while or smash in a while, I need a few rounds to get it back, but I still know the moves. But I'm not as good at it anymore. So I don't know if. I honestly don't know if I can still fight. I know that I obviously move slower now than I did when I was in my 20s and teens. Not much slower because I was already slow then.
Monet x Change
Also, this is an update. A s Rivalry update. This just in from Courtney. Act Sorry. Sorry. I miss shole. Wait, I can't do.
Bob the Drag Queen
Text it to me. I'll read it because that was. That was embarrassing.
Monet x Change
No, she said, just at dinner, did you mean to call? I said, yeah, that's not on a straight accent.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right? My. Just at dinner, did you mean to call? All right, Maya. I was at dinner, right? My Dynanza. Or was it dinner? Hello? Hello, Armini. Hello. Hello, Armini. I was at dinner.
Monet x Change
We know what we should do. You remember when we did the episode of all British accents? Could you imagine we did a 1 of all Australians?
Bob the Drag Queen
The way we almost lost subscribers, I'm
Monet x Change
afraid they would turn on us. I think people would never listen to the podcast again. Yeah, yeah, all good. Bob and I were on the podcast and we were calling to ask if a kangaroo was a desert animal. Lol. That's all I said. She said, they are not. They need to eat. Nothing lives in the desert. Then she sent me. She sent me a chat GPT. She asked it, and chatgpt said, yes, kangaroos do live in the desert. Specifically, red kangaroos are very well adapted and arid. Yes, kangaroos do live in the desert.
Bob the Drag Queen
First word. What was the question? What's the first word? What's the question?
Monet x Change
Do kangaroos live in the desert? No, kangaroos do not live in the desert.
Bob the Drag Queen
Don't they know you said yes? No. What's the question?
Monet x Change
Do kangaroos live in a desert? No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Where did the yes come from? I'm going to get there. Okay.
Monet x Change
No, kangaroos do not live in the desert. Specifically, red kangaroos. Yes. They're well adapted in arid, semi arid environments in the Australian outback.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you realize that no matter how you try this, your point's never proven? Kangaroos are desert animals. One day, and I'm willing to move on from this. Now, let's talk about our topic today,
Monet x Change
because now we might as well do children.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monae is a hater.
Monet x Change
Why am I a hater?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you are a hater in general. Like, that's kind of part of your vibe, you know?
Monet x Change
If I'm all these things, all these things that you say I am, how weird are you that I'm your best friend? If all these things you say about
Bob the Drag Queen
me, then there's nothing else about you. I never said it was a bad thing. This is the observation out of criticism.
Monet x Change
All the other things you said about me. You make fun of my stammer. I'm a hater.
Bob the Drag Queen
Stammering is not a reason to not be someone's friend. Having a stutter is no reason to not be someone's friend.
Monet x Change
Oh, it's just. It's just for you. So you can make fun of me all the time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Monet x Change
Such a fucking cut.
Bob the Drag Queen
These. These things are no reason not be your friend. But Monet is a hater. So back at Christmas time, I went to Monet's Christmas party and I gave. I bought the. I bought a few gifts. I. I'm not. I. I'm. When I have a good idea for a gift, it's always a great gift. If I have a good idea, it's a great gift. So I brought a.
Monet x Change
Where's the story going?
Bob the Drag Queen
I brought a coach bag for Kim Chi that she's wanted for years, but I don't want to give it to her. But then I decided to give it to her. It was just collecting dust in my. In my apartment. So I brought it over to her, and she was so moved by this bag that she took this thing off of her purse and she handed it to me. I had no clue what it was. I had never seen it, never heard of it. Kim said, this is really hard to get. You should hold onto this. It is really rare I said, okay, thank you. I took the thing home, I put it on my wall. I haven't looked at it since. Months later, everyone's going on about the Labubu, baby. The Labu boo was. And I got mine back at Christmas time. The Labubu craze has hit hard. And I have a Labubu. And then I was gifted two Labubus. I've been gifted three Labubus. Kim gave me one, Selena gave me one, and Taylor gave me a Labubu. And Monae, for some reason, is just hating on Labubus. It's not just that. You don't get them. You hate on them.
Monet x Change
I do not hate on them. I think Taylor fad, like, fad things like that. Like, I just don't get it. I don't think they're particularly cute. They don't do anything, so they're just decoration. I just don't get it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Does Monet hate on the boo boos?
Monet x Change
Absolutely, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Of course.
Monet x Change
Taylor is on your payroll. You think you're going to say something different?
Unknown Speaker 1
Excuse me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Come forward.
Monet x Change
Taylor's on your payroll. You think Taylor gonna take.
Bob the Drag Queen
What do you want to say about this? Fuck, Monae, you do hate on the Labubus.
Monet x Change
I do not.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet, you hate on Labubus.
Monet x Change
I do not. I just do not get it. I do not want a Labubu. I never had a Labubu.
Bob the Drag Queen
No one's ever offered you a Labubu. No one's offered you a Labu.
Monet x Change
Someone has offered me a little boo boo.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who?
Monet x Change
A fan offered me a little boo boo when I was in fucking. Where's I okc. I don't want no goddamn lububu.
Bob the Drag Queen
So did you do that when people offered you all the other stuff that you get?
Monet x Change
Yeah, because I want those things.
Bob the Drag Queen
What else has a fan offered you that you said no to? I don't want no goddamn Whatever you're offering me.
Monet x Change
When they gave me a joint that is not in a concealer case, I'm like, no, baby, I don't want that joint. If you give me a. If, if you give me a joint that's wrapped, I will take it because I know you ain't fucking lace it with. I don't know what's in there. But I, I, I turn away that. I turn away food. I'm not eating your food.
Bob the Drag Queen
You never turned away food.
Monet x Change
I know. I know you baked it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know you. I now know you lying. Now you're lying. You lying. I never been so thin.
Monet x Change
I know that you baked it. With love and everything. I'm not eating food that's been made for me. I. I'm not gonna do that.
Bob the Drag Queen
So to be clear, the two things. The things that those two things seem to go into the category things. How does the little boo fall in that category?
Monet x Change
I have no utility for it. I don't. I'm not going to put it on a bag. I'm not going to put it on my. On.
Unknown Speaker 2
On.
Monet x Change
On a cad. I'm not going to put it on a horse. I'm not going to put it on a bug.
Bob the Drag Queen
You turn down specifically for safety reasons. It seems weird that your fans want to give you a gift and you turn it down and say, I don't want that. That. That seems weird.
Monet x Change
I did not say did not want that. I said, I don't want that. I just want.
Bob the Drag Queen
I believe what you said was, I don't want no labos. I believe verbatim what you said.
Monet x Change
Probably, but I'm not interested.
Bob the Drag Queen
What offered you that? You responded in that way.
Monet x Change
I just.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, no. That's safety. That's a safety reason. And you don't get to. You don't get to tell me if
Monet x Change
it's safety for me or not. I get to choose if I don't want or not.
Bob the Drag Queen
You just described it was for safety reasons. You just described the reason why you did not work a joint.
Monet x Change
There are reasons why I can refuse a gift. Safety is not the only reason. I can also refuse something that I just not. I don't want. I'm not gonna. That I'm not going to use.
Bob the Drag Queen
But doesn't it seem rude? And also, I want to be clear with y', all this. Monet.
Monet x Change
Let's take a break with somebody else.
Jacob
All right?
Monet x Change
Let's clear it up.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's clear it up. Monet X change. I've been on tour with Monet. When you give her a joint or some food, Monet does not refuse it. She doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't make the journey.
Monet x Change
That's not true.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've seen you. I've seen you take it and then take it back and you leave it there. Which, by the way, I do the same thing. If someone offers me food, I don't say, I don't want your food. I'll just. I'll take it. I'll say, thank you very much. And if it's a baked good that you made or if it's a food that looks like it could be open and you made it in your home, I just leave it at the venue. And I tell fans on the podcast, on the Internet, I don't. Don't bring me in your. In your. In your food. I'm not going to eat your food. I don't know what's in that shit.
Monet x Change
So I have seen you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have seen you with my own kind.
Monet x Change
The food I will take. I will take back a joint. Sometimes I take a joint. I don't realize it's not wrapped. But if I take a joint back and I see the seal is broken, then, no, I'm not going to smoke that. Most joints are. That the seal is not broken. I will put it in my little drug bag in my carry on. Wait, and which pocket is that? I will put in my thing. If I go backstage after everything is done, I'm like, oh, shit, the seat's not on the bitch. I'm not taking that home. I'll give it to maybe someone on set, on the crew.
Bob the Drag Queen
So let me clear this. So let me clear this up. What you're saying is someone offered you food, you took it backstage and you left it there. Correct.
Monet x Change
Or I will give it to someone else working who will eat it, but I won't eat it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just want to be clear. You will accept the food sometimes from the fan.
Monet x Change
Situationally, there have been. Sometimes when someone brings the labubu, you
Bob the Drag Queen
said, I don't want that fucking Labubu.
Monet x Change
No, I didn't say that to the person. I did not say. When a person brought the labubu to me, I did not say.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you turned it away and said, no, thank you.
Monet x Change
I said. I put it up. I said, girl, I don't want to say a labubu. I was like, come on, Monet, please. I'm like, girl, I want that. You can keep that for yourself. I'm not. Girl, I'm not gonna use. I'm not gonna put this labu on my stuff. I'm like, okay, fine. That's how that works.
Bob the Drag Queen
So the only gift you've ever flat out refused is unsafe things. And specifically a labubu.
Monet x Change
And I think there have been other things people have. Like, if someone has offered me. Someone offered me a needle. Cause I was a nito when I talked about needles. A little squishy. What is a needle? It's a squishy, fidget, fidget thing. And they offer. They. She pulled a needle out of her bag, and she's like, hey, I have anito.
Bob the Drag Queen
You want it?
Monet x Change
I was like, girl, I don't want your needle. She's like, no, I'VE had it for a while. You can have. I was like, no, I don't want your needle.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow, you sound really grateful to your fans.
Monet x Change
Well, you know, if it's something I want to be honest with them, I'm not like you. I'm not just going to take them and leave them at the place for anyone to take them. If you get joy and pleasure out of this labubu or this neato, I want you to keep on enjoying that, because I'm not going to. So why, why, why would you waste your money on your. Especially if the Lubu's are so hard to buy, are so rare, why would you take it and leave it?
Bob the Drag Queen
The money's been spent.
Monet x Change
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
The money's been spent on the.
Monet x Change
No, but if a Labubu is a collector's item that is very rare to come by, you have to go online and do a bid.
Bob the Drag Queen
The money's been spent.
Monet x Change
Yeah, but then you keep it. Give it to someone else that's gonna use it. I'm not gonna use it. Bring it to Bob the Drag Queen on the road. Bring it to Taylor O'Rear on his tour.
Bob the Drag Queen
So to be clear, every. Anybody who has ever been to my space, my home, knows that I take home, with the exception of food. And I don't think anyone's ever actually offered me drugs, ever. With the exception of food, I take home every gift I get. The only time I won't take it home is if for some reason, I cannot fit it in my suitcase. And there's only. And even when I can't fit in my suitcase, like that picture you have in your hallway. That picture. I broke the frame off, rolled it
Monet x Change
up in my hallway.
Bob the Drag Queen
That picture that you have of me in your home, you have a painting of me.
Monet x Change
Oh, that's my. That's my bathroom.
Bob the Drag Queen
The bathroom I got. I got there in Brazil. I broke it off the frame, I rolled it up, I made sure it got home safely. Everyone who knows me knows I always bring my gifts home. I accept every gift that you guys give me. And they are. And they are. I have a whole room, literally displayed, full of paintings, pictures, ceramic tiles, needle points, digital art, letters displayed on the wall over here. Yeah.
Monet x Change
And I think that's very beautiful. But if it's gonna be something that I'm not, like a Labubu or a needle or something that you utilize, and it can be.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you're saying, don't waste your money. The money's been spent.
Monet x Change
Yeah, but they did not get it specifically for me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you if you didn't know that. Yeah, they said I could have on
Monet x Change
her bag that loo boo boo was ran through a little bit. It was a little.
Bob the Drag Queen
She said, I got you. So you're. You're. Now you're painting a narrative. So you talked about the lubu. You sat down and had a conversation about the boo boo.
Monet x Change
So I don't need to talk to Lubu to realize that the boo boo is a little dirty and has been on, probably clipped on her bag a few times, which is great.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're adding stuff to the story that wasn't there before, and now you're acting.
Monet x Change
We're talking about in details. You extrapolated whatever you wanted. We didn't talk about.
Jacob
Can we role play this meet and greet?
Monet x Change
Okay, let's open the meet and greet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hi.
Monet x Change
Hi. What's your name?
Bob the Drag Queen
Carl.
Monet x Change
Hi, Carl. Carl, I like your hat. Look at your outfit. She's feeling. She's feeling like a little kicky girl, ain't she?
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you. Oh, Lord.
Monet x Change
Is this your little.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is your labubu. My labu? Why is it.
Monet x Change
How is it my labubu? Did you get it for me?
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to give it to you.
Monet x Change
You want to give it to me? Is it like. Have you been using it?
Bob the Drag Queen
It looks like I wore it here.
Monet x Change
You wore it here, and this is the first time you ever wore it ever?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but it was raining outside.
Monet x Change
It was raining outside. Well, Carl, let me tell you something, Carl. I. This. I'm not into the lobu.
Bob the Drag Queen
This was the last. This was the last thing my grandma gave me before she passed away.
Monet x Change
Oh, that sucks. Well, you know what I mean.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was a big fan of yours.
Monet x Change
She was a big fan of mine?
Jacob
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, she would want me to give this to you, and I never wore it. I never wore it. Cause she gave it to me in a box. I'm sorry. She gave it to me in a box, and I kept it safe. But then today was the first time I ever wore it. Bless you. Bless you. That was the first time I ever wore it. And it rained, so I got kind of sad. But it made me think of her. And she was such a big fan of yours, and I. And she wanted you to. Bless you and she wanted you to have it.
Monet x Change
Carl, I am very alert.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God.
Monet x Change
Do you have an EpiPen?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm sorry. EpiPen. Can someone get an EpiPen for Monet, please? Hold on. Here's one. Put your leg out. Put your leg out. Get me Carl.
Monet x Change
Carl, the Labubus are Made of Sherpa. I'm deathly allergic to Sherpa, Carl. It's on my website. Did you not know that? I thought your grandma was a big fan.
Bob the Drag Queen
You should know that aren't made of Sherpa, Carl. Yes, the.
Monet x Change
And they are, Carl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, okay, okay. I know you're not saying no. Yes, saying bench. Back in the scene. Okay, I didn't realize. I didn't realize this was one of the Sherpa ones. I'm so sorry. Also, I want to say your. Your reaction to epinephrine is very different than most people.
Monet x Change
Tell me, tell me about that.
Jacob
Carl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nick, just walk. There's a door right there.
Monet x Change
Nick.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nick.
Monet x Change
Over there.
Unknown Speaker 2
Duck.
Bob the Drag Queen
Walking. It's locked from the outside. Not this side, bitch. Yeah, most people, when they get epinephrine, they. It's like a big adrenaline rush. That's how it shocks your system back into. It's weird that you didn't respond at all.
Monet x Change
Well, you know, Carl, my body. Everyone's body is different. And so someone who looks like you have a very different body. I would expect you to.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm sorry, what makes my body different?
Monet x Change
Well, you're Carl. For a 70 year old you're pretty tall. And you're pretty. You're pretty. You look like very strong for a seven year old.
Bob the Drag Queen
So all the seven year olds in my family were this heightened, this long
Monet x Change
and bald as well.
Bob the Drag Queen
And bald, bald, tall. So maybe you've heard of Caillou, Maybe you've heard of Tommy, Maybe you heard of Lil Bill. Young people can be bald.
Monet x Change
Okay, well so my bad. So I thought you were differently bodily abled, but maybe just normal for your family. And so I apologize for that. But yeah. So you don't want.
Bob the Drag Queen
My grandma's the boo boo.
Monet x Change
I'm allergic to Sherpa.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right, you know what? Tamisha was right about you. You. Why would you not take the Monet? You are wild. Offer me the labubu.
Monet x Change
Okay. Oh, I got a labuu for that ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
You got a lefoufu. Hi, welcome. Hi.
Monet x Change
Hi. How are you? Oh my God, I'm so excited to meet you finally.
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you. What's your name?
Monet x Change
Desi.
Bob the Drag Queen
Desi. Nice to meet you, Desi. Where you from? Oklahoma. Oh, like Oklahoma? Where in Oklahoma?
Monet x Change
Oklahoma City. We flew in just for the meet and greetings. We're not even gonna see the show. I just came for the meet and greet. Cause I wanted to meet you.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you're from Oklahoma City?
Monet x Change
Uh huh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause that's in Kansas.
Monet x Change
Yes, Oklahoma City. No we're in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Bob the Drag Queen
There is an Oklahoma City, Oklahoma? Actually, not many. Most folks are not from there.
Monet x Change
Yeah, well, you bet the one and you fell.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause it's not in Kansas City, Missouri.
Monet x Change
Oh, sorry. I'm not gonna mind you.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's the truth.
Monet x Change
I've been held back a few times, Bob, and I feel a little uncomfortable. I don't like talking about it and saying it out loud, but now you're making me feel weird. So I'm making you feel word or you feel weird? Can we reset? I learned this in therapy. I'd like a reset, please.
Bob the Drag Queen
No worries, Desi, if that's your own name.
Monet x Change
Now I feel invalidated about my existence is really hurting my feelings, Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I'm gonna be clear. I'm not hurting your feelings. Your feelings are hurt. And your feelings are very valid, mind you. Very, very valid.
Monet x Change
You're a bad person to do this to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm bad.
Monet x Change
Anyway, this is my Le Lakutu and it's my favorite lakutu and I wanted to give it to you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, that's so cute. I love. That's so cute. Thank you. Wow, that is very cute. Are you ready for this picture? Yeah, let's see. I'll hold up the Lakutu.
Monet x Change
Ok.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's how you do it, Monet.
Monet x Change
Bob, you cannot tell Val if someone says that's not how you. If you hurt your meet and greetings feelings, you have to be a little more like, what the fuck was that?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm tell right now. One person on this podcast has heard the meet and greet his feelings, and
Monet x Change
it wasn't me, it was you one.
Bob the Drag Queen
And we have, we have Reddit threads dedicated to it. So maybe you have a lot of experience with hurting meet and greeters feelings. I don't have any experience with that. I run a. I run a. You know what drives me really crazy, y'? All? Whenever Monet and I do a get together, Monet acts like I'm the one who doesn't know how to do a meet and greet. And it's so, it's so irritating when you act like I'm the one who has no clue how to a meet and greet when there are Reddit threads dedicated to how bad you are meeting greeted threads.
Monet x Change
That is not true.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, you're so one thread is enough.
Monet x Change
You're so, so, so one thread is enough. You've already been caught in a lie. Do you want to lie more?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think, I think there's. I think there is more than one way to thread it.
Monet x Change
Do you want to lie more, yes or no?
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I think there is more than one way to thread, and if I had my. I would. I. I would. I would find it right now.
Monet x Change
But if you're on you, I'll give it to the end of the year to find one.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, you. Jacob's already on the case.
Monet x Change
Of course he is.
Bob the Drag Queen
I assure you, Jacob's already.
Monet x Change
He won't do it on the other side. Research your own mother nicking boyfriend instead of focusing on me. How about y' all do that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Honey, go get your boyfriend and do something besides lying about.
Monet x Change
Busy working. Doing his actual job. Saving. Keeping people clean and sober. Jacob's work, he's doing.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's. He's having.
Monet x Change
He's having AA meetings with his sponses people that he's helping stay clean and sober.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let me be clear about something. This podcast has saved way more lives than your shitty boyfriend ever will. Jacob's contribution to this podcast has saved the outreach that your. Your shitty little boyfriend. Oh, that was the one. I know it's from last episode, but, y', all, that's the thing that Andy did not want to admit he was wrong on last night, no matter how often I proved him wrong. I told Andy then, not all non profits are charities. And Andy goes, yes, by definition, they are. I said they're not. All charities are nonprofits, but not all nonprofits are charities. And he goes, you're wrong. We Google it. One of the first things it says is, no, not all nonprofits are charities. However, all charities are nonprofits. Instead of just saying, you're right, I'm wrong, he starts trying to hit the Kim.
Monet x Change
That's the little Kim. That's a little Kim, not the kimchi.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's the cute chin?
Monet x Change
The cute.
Bob the Drag Queen
And don't ever disrespect my motherfucking queen.
Monet x Change
You the one. National television.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's my queen, honey. That's my queen.
Monet x Change
Wait, so now you're in into the. You bought into the Labubu parades? Did you do Beanie Babies back in the day?
Bob the Drag Queen
I may have had one or two Beanie Babies, but I never bought one. I think I've acquired, like, I've never bought a Labubu, but I've acquired Labubus. And I think. Or I've been gifted them, and. But I don't even know if I actually had a beauty baby, because I have never. I mean, the last stuffed animal I remember liking was probably, like, in first or kindergarten, and it was this stuffed elephant that I had that was also my imaginary Friend. But I do not like stuffed animals. I've never really liked stuffed animals. Although the Labubu is really cute. I feature her. Did you buy Beanie Baby?
Monet x Change
No, I don't think I was around. I mean, Beanie Babies weren't a thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
But the truth is you do like fads. So it's weird that you say you don't like fads when you love a fad.
Monet x Change
I did not say. That's not what I said. I said. I said I am interested how these fads get started. Like, I want to watch. Like, I'm sure there is probably right now on YouTube by this point, a deep dive on how the Labubus become such a phenomenal. Like, I'm curious how they go from no one caring about them to within months being everywhere. I find that to be very fascinating.
Bob the Drag Queen
The owner of the Labubu, it now has a company worth $72 billion.
Monet x Change
That's what I'm talking about. Like what? And I. Well, I know. I think what made it pop off was the K pop star, the one who was in White Lotus. I think she had one. I mean, obviously they were a thing around. But after she had it, then it blew up.
Bob the Drag Queen
So the. The way I think. So Boo Boo. The Boo Boos are exclusive. That's part of why people like them. They're exclusive. So while, like, a Tamagotchi is always
Monet x Change
a part of it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, so. But not always. Because a Tamagotchi was not hard to get.
Monet x Change
True.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I don't think Beanie Babies were
Monet x Change
ever hard to get.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like.
Monet x Change
Like, I think Beanie Babies were.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, specific. Actually, I don't know. I never bought a Beanie Baby. I remember. I never bought a Beanie Baby. But I know specific Beanie Babies are hard to get. For the most part, you can get your hands on a Beanie B. Also, you cannot pick the Labubu you
Monet x Change
want, which is crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you go to the PopMart website. By the way, we are not Beanie Baby partners or Labubu partners.
Monet x Change
We're fucking contributing to this shit.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know? I mean, I don't.
Unknown Speaker 1
I don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
I honestly, the Labubu hate. I don't care if people like Labubus. Like, I don't get people. Like, you're just getting people to buy Labubus. I don't care if you buy Labus.
Monet x Change
No, no, no. Not in that way. In the way that we, like, don't say a lot of things that aren't paying us on the podcast like that. That way. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't care. I assure you, this little podcast, I don't think it'll make a big dink.
Monet x Change
A podcast. Little work.
Bob the Drag Queen
So they cost in terms of labu boo?
Monet x Change
Yes, they cost $25.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. So. So you. You have to go on the website, right? And then you have to swipe through these boxes, and then most of the boxes are grayed out. If you are. If you have the opportunity to see a box that's not grayed out, you click on it. Once you click on it, then you can buy it. But. But people are trying to click on at the same time as you. They drop at the same time every day. And if you. If someone's. So the one day I was trying to help Taylor get a little boo boo, and I was. For an hour, I was helping him, trying to swipe to get a labubu for him. I could not get my hands on a fucking labubu. Like you could not. Like you could not get one. So when he finally got one, he was through the roof. He fucking, like, leaped, leapt out of his seat. Cause he had been trying for days, over a week, to get a labubu. So I think there was an excitement to, like, oh, my God, I finally got my hands on this thing that I've been trying to get my hands on on for over a week now. And I. I can see the excitement in that, to be honest.
Monet x Change
That's so interesting.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't understand that.
Monet x Change
No, I mean, like, in theory, yes, I understand getting something that you've been waiting for a long time. Yes. But specifically the labubu. No. Okay. No, they cost 27.99, not 25. Do they. Do, do, do. Does the price change on what they cost?
Unknown Speaker 1
I don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never bought a labuba.
Monet x Change
You say you're just trying to buy one for Taylor. What are you talking about?
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never purchased. I was trying to help Taylor swipe through things. I was not able to get one. I did it for over an hour, wasn't able to get one. So, again, I've never bought a labubu. If you were listening, which you clearly were not, this is, like, my dream.
Monet x Change
Ke. Keep talking, Monet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Don't do this. I'm triggered. You don't know how angry I was. I was so livid. Thank you, Violet. Thank you, Violet. Thank you, Violet. Thank you, Violet. Thank you, Violet. Oh, my God. Thank you, Violet. You saved us.
Monet x Change
Should we start. Should we. Should we start a fucking toy Ponzi scheme?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think this is a Ponzi scheme.
Monet x Change
Don't you. Don't you buy them to sell them to someone? So are they. Well, obviously like anything else, you can probably. Isn't it pyramid in a way that you buy them and you buy them to resell them to people with they hope that they're getting.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can buy anything to resell them. Labubu's are not meant to be bought to sell. And also that's not how pyramids work.
Monet x Change
Pyramids, it's like to get better. Like Mary Kay is a Ponti is a pyramid scheme.
Unknown Speaker 2
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you want to apologize to Labubu?
Monet x Change
No. You don't want to say anything to her? No.
Jacob
Wow.
Bob the Drag Queen
Her name is Hehe.
Monet x Change
Who gives him the name? Does the name come with the lu.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, it comes on a piece of paper or maybe. Maybe that is the. The species. It is a Hehe or. I don't know if the name is Hehe. I don't know. To be honest, I don't know a ton about Labubus. But you know that. That Selena Estates is like a Labubu partner. And you can go to her page and get a Labubu through like some second dealer or something.
Monet x Change
So she like the company Labubu is. She's a part. She's a.
Jacob
No, no. There. There's a website reseller that resells the Boo Boo for a market price. It's called whoopi.com. and she's a partner with them. So she has a. Can use her code to get 20% off.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do we know her code? Can we give her a shout out?
Jacob
Yeah, it's. It's Selena.
Monet x Change
All right, there it is.
Bob the Drag Queen
So if you go to the code
Jacob
is Selena at Whoopy W H O-O-P E A dot com.
Monet x Change
Interesting.
Bob the Drag Queen
So if you go to that website and use the code Selena, you can get yourself a little Boo Boo. And Selena will make a little kickback.
Monet x Change
So you tell Taylor to get his from Selena's website.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, Taylor likes the rush of trying to get them. He enjoys it. He's like into it.
Monet x Change
It got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's a. He's a old school a Boo Boo. Girly. Honey, you don't collect anything.
Monet x Change
What do I collect? I mean, I collect sparkly outfits. Maybe shoes. I have a lot of shoes.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you. You throw those away too.
Monet x Change
I have a lot of shoes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nothing, Nothing, nothing physical of has a. Has value to you except the jewelry you're wearing.
Monet x Change
It's not true. I collect shoes. I like my. I like a lot of my shoes.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you throw Those away you get rid of them. You throw them away.
Monet x Change
You give them away when start like when I can't fit them anymore.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't have pairs of shoes from you that fit you and do are not scuffed up or anything. You just like if I have given
Monet x Change
you a pair of shoes as either they can when they're ugly and I know you wear them or they couldn't fit.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, first of all, I have not worn the ugly shoes you've given me. Let's be clear. They're sitting on the ugly shop.

That was one. That was again one side. Ginger is currently still going on it. Also, that was me criticizing. That was me criticizing these queens on the show. Also me and Mistress and. And Maddie Morphus were just playing. That was never actual.
Monet x Change
Maddie was there.
Bob the Drag Queen
And also to be clear, neither one. And if, and if you think Maddie was rapping, I, I. That says more about you than it does about.
Monet x Change
About the rapping. It was about the content of that
Bob the Drag Queen
says more about you. If you think she clears it says
Monet x Change
more about you than other content, baby. And she did clear.
Bob the Drag Queen
And me and Maddie and Mistress were literally communicating back and forth about what we're going to do. That was not real beef.
Monet x Change
I could call Mistress right now. We can wake it the fuck up.
Bob the Drag Queen
Call her.
Jacob
All the international queens who did versus
Bob the Drag Queen
the world, none of them said a word against me. And they wouldn't dare to open their mouths. Call Mistress. Call right now.

You did not beat me. The answer is no. You didn't.
Monet x Change
Was I better than you? Yes or no?
Bob the Drag Queen

Bob the Drag Queen
That was one game. I'm talking about the whole night. And on that note, thank you for coming on my show.

Hosts: Bob the Drag Queen & Monét X Change
This episode of Sibling Rivalry is a classic back-and-forth between Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change as they tackle everything from microaggressions and celebrity encounters to the current craze over Labubus (designer collectible keychains). The playful banter erupts over gifts from fans, the etiquette of refusing fan offers, and some pointed shade about each other’s meet-and-greet behaviors. Listeners are treated to trademark sibling-style roasting, digressions into personal upbringing and family “corporal punishment,” and a satirical dissection of trend culture.

From “Labubu” trend skepticism and nuanced discussion of identity and fandom, to loud asides and expertly executed hypothetical scenarios, Bob and Monét demonstrate once again why Sibling Rivalry is podcasting’s top drag-queen double act.
For listeners seeking pop culture commentary with a razor-sharp queer lens, standout laughs, and just a touch of chaos, this episode is peak Sibling Rivalry.
