Bob the Drag Queen
On this week's episode, Monet gets involved in some Airbn beef.
Monet X Change
We talk about names and we find.
Bob the Drag Queen
Out what made Kevin say this kind.
Monet X Change
Of fucking back swamp backwoods is that. And we found out what made Delamar say it up.
Bob the Drag Queen
Kevin, that was so uncalled for.
Monet X Change
Party rock is in the house tonight.
Bob the Drag Queen
Everybody wanna have a good time.
Monet X Change
Bobby, you and I can make a party song.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't want to have this conversation with you. Go ahead, y'. All. I'm gonna be open and honest and vulnerable with y' all right now. I wanted to do an album with Monet very, very badly. I wanted to have our speaker box love below moment where there's an album. One of us has an album, we have a joint track in the middle, and then it goes on to the next person's album. And Monet gave me a hard no.
Monet X Change
Because the time you were positioning it, I had other stuff going on and I couldn't successfully do that. So that's why it wasn't like, I don't want to. First of all, I've done so many business ventures with you. One being a makeup company that.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is thriving. So we get to define success for ourselves.
Monet X Change
So the fact that you want to say that, oh, I just, I shut it down. Like, it was like, ugh, I wouldn't not want to do with you, but.
Bob the Drag Queen
That'S not how you said. You didn't say it like that. You said no.
Monet X Change
Okay, well, you should have asked me why, Bob. You know what? Sometimes you need to be curious and ask questions to you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I accepted your no and I said okay. You set a boundary and I have accepted it.
Monet X Change
And since when did you start honoring those?
Bob the Drag Queen
When I would say back when you told me you didn't want to live with me. Back when you told me that you didn't want to do an album with me. So several times.
Monet X Change
Yeah, yeah. No, because you didn't respond to those around. When I said I didn't want to get a place together, that became a. You bullied me about it and berated me for weeks afterwards.
Bob the Drag Queen
Didn't I bully you?
Monet X Change
Yes, you did.
Bob the Drag Queen
How did I bully you?
Monet X Change
Every time it comes up, you're like, well, I want to get a place in Monat. But she said no, because Monat just too good to live with me and you.
Bob the Drag Queen
That is just facts.
Monet X Change
Anytime it comes up, you bully me about that one.
Bob the Drag Queen
Those are just facts. So. So. So when I recount the events, that's bullying.
Monet X Change
You know what you're doing? You know what you did.
Bob the Drag Queen
You did say no. Emphatically, actually.
Monet X Change
Anyways, your whole chest. We're both wearing skank tanks today.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's my skank tank.
Monet X Change
Summer, where is. Looks like one of your sacks.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is not a sack. It is a tank top.
Monet X Change
What does it say? Town.
Bob the Drag Queen
P Town.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God, you're obsessed with P Town. You will not start talking about P Town.
Bob the Drag Queen
Girl. Yeah, me, I go on and on about P Town. I kind of. It's kind of my personality at this point.
Monet X Change
You do, you do. Good job, Lanja. Wait, what are you doing in New York? When you coming back home?
Bob the Drag Queen
I have done several things here in New York City. I'll be back. I'm flying back on the 11th. I hosted Mateo Lane's show, Sold out show at Radio City Music Hall. And when you do Racing Music hall, if you sell out, I don't know, they do to everyone. So maybe I shouldn't say that. They do this for everyone. But Tiffany's will. Tiffany's, the company will send you a silver. I don't know if it's silver, but a metal.
Monet X Change
It's silver. I mean, if it's Tiffany's, I'm sure it's silver. That's like the thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Sure. I can't verify it, but it was really nice. Basically, like a backstage pass that has, like, your logo and the show and it says sold out Radio City Music hall.
Monet X Change
I saw him post that. So he did Mateo's show then.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then I went to go see the last five Years on Broadway.
Monet X Change
How was that?
Bob the Drag Queen
It was really good. I was very impressed with Nick Jonas's acting.
Monet X Change
He's the. He's the Trumper.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nick Jonas is a Trumper girl. Wait, really?
Monet X Change
Sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did Jacob, can you verify that?
Monet X Change
He's the one with the buzz cut, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
He had a buzz cut when I saw him. And the lady. Who's the name? I can't recall right now because I can't find my play. Bill. Adrian was phenomenal. I think it's Adrian. She was absolutely phenomenal. And then I went to a party with Adrian Warren. Adrian Warren. Then I went to a party with James Tom. He's a comedian. I did the podcast. Three episodes we filmed while I was here. This is the third episode. And I to Tomorrow I'm doing. I'm filming a. A comedy special that comes out on Mother's Day called the Dead Moms Club. Is for people whose mothers passed away. And then I'm interviewing Kesha. I'm giving Kesha an award, presenting Kesha with an award. And then I'm coming home, work.
Monet X Change
Why don't you ask me to be a part of this? This, the comedy special?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because your mother is alive.
Monet X Change
Okay. Fair. Makes sense. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Does that sound okay to you? What have you been up to lately?
Monet X Change
What have I been up to lately? Where was I last time I saw you? I went to Costa Rica for a few days. Annie and I went to Costa Rica for, like a bit. Seemed like a long weekend. We went like Thursday. Oh, my God. There's a drama happened at Thursday through Sunday.
Bob the Drag Queen
What was the drama?
Monet X Change
So we flew into San Jose, which is a big city, but then we drove down to Uvita, which is a small town outside of Costa Rica in the south. It's about three and a half hours away. Stated this. You know, I mean, I'm normally, you know, when I gigs, whatever, I will splurge on a hotel because the hotel I'm at, whether I'm coming to work or leisure, would dictate my mood for the entire thing. If I'm at a hotel, that's not making me feel the fantasy I will be in a bad mood. But Andy Foundation. What's a nice hotel like the Ace in Brooklyn, the one in Manhattan. Horrible, horrible girl. Every time. So I stopped saying I was fired.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet said your hotel is literally garbage.
Monet X Change
You know, I used to swear by the Ace, but then the last couple times, this was like Two years ago when I stopped staying there, every time I would go to my room and I would love to. Cause the staff there is amazing. Everyone there is very sweet. But I would open and they would always upgrade me to the suite. I would open, put my water to the shower and just brown water for like the last three or four times I said I can't. So I stopped saying there. So now York City, huh?
Bob the Drag Queen
Welcome to New York City.
Monet X Change
So now I said the standard either in Lower east or, or meat back.
Bob the Drag Queen
For people who don't know what these hotels are. Can you just say what makes hotel nice for you?
Monet X Change
Oh, I think the quality of the bedding, the quality of the towels. If I go and get towels and they look like, and I can hold my towel to the light and see straight through because they've been so used that they wash, they, they've lost the fibers. I don't like that. That looks like a decent towel.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can see light behind it though.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I can see it look light. But you know, you know, you know when you have old ass towels in your house and they'll splotch you.
Bob the Drag Queen
In my house, I don't know what you're talking about.
Monet X Change
That's not true.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe in your house you have these crummy towels.
Monet X Change
One piece be one ply and then a piece over here is like three ply. I'm like, baby, the towels are a mess. So that's for me if I went to the bathroom. And like even the little corners and the crevices, there's like dirt and grime. Like stuff like that makes me feel gross. If I look under my sheet and I see there may be a little thing of hair.
Bob the Drag Queen
You lift your sheets when you go to the hotel?
Monet X Change
Yes, I check under where they tucked in just to make sure I just get into bed. Cause sometimes. What did the guys say? You know what, you know what got fucked me up? Nicole Byer, when she told me that story of her flying on Delta and she was in Delta one, she opened up her little bedding and put it out and there was feces inside of it. I check Delta, I check hotels, because I just. You just never know. Mistakes happen. Imagine going to opening a bed of Delta. You just see feces inside of the thing and you almost, you just. What if you didn't check? You just put it, you stepped inside. Oh, I would die.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, honestly, I'm, I'm sure it'll be fine. Like I, I've, I've never checked up everything correct. I did one time. I Was at a hotel and someone, Someone not me. Someone did have a condom on their. Under their pillow.
Monet X Change
I don't use condoms.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was used.
Monet X Change
No, to you. You said, I don't use condoms. Baby, I use a condom. It was a condom. It definitely could not have been me.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I think the worst that happened to me was one time in Temecula. There was a dead mouse in my toilet.
Monet X Change
In the toilet?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. And it drowned in the toilet.
Monet X Change
Oh.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, maybe someone hid it and just threw it in the toilet, but I'm assuming that it drowned in the toilet. There's a chance that maybe housekeeping killed a mouse put in the toilet. Tried to flush in. It's possibility too, but I just came back from work and I was like, oh, there's a dead mouse in my toilet. This is crazy. But even still, I just don't check. I don't. It'll be fine.
Monet X Change
Whatever. Ty told me about some horror stories y' all had. Singing We're Here, some of the places.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just can't. I just don't wanna. I don't want to live my life like that. For on the off chance that I might find a condom under a, Under a pillow. I, I just. Honestly, I, I, I. That living that life does not sound fun or exciting. It sounds kind of paranoid. And I would be so annoyed if I went my whole life and never found the condom. If I never found. I'd be like. And also, if there's hair in the bed, honestly, if there's like. Like what? Like a tuft of hair? No, but like, or like a few strands. If there's a few strands. I honestly don't care.
Monet X Change
I do care. Well, I mean, for me, I found those things. I mean, it does, it doesn't take away from my quality of life. It literally just takes 0.2 seconds to just when I go in the bathroom to pee, just to look and stuff like that. But again, when you stay at a nice hotel, like, I don't, I don't have to worry about it because they normally take care of all that stuff. So that's why I just saved myself.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you don't check in the next hotel. So for all you know, they could still be going on. But you just don't check anymore.
Monet X Change
No, because when I go to the bathroom, I will see a tell, a telltale sign to see if it's going to be a clean experience. It. Just check the bathroom out. The bathroom, the bathroom is usually the place that will tell you how clean or how, how, how attention to how attention to detail. The. The. How detail oriented. Sorry. The staff is who clean it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I imagine the bathroom be where they clean the most. But. But. So you don't check the beds anymore when you go to the nice hotels?
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
Especially ones. I say that a lot. I get it. Like, there's this one in Seattle. I don't know. I love staying here. It's called, like, the Thomas or the Tompkins or something. It's like, the theme is, like, green and browns and tans. That is a. Oh, you know, when you have a hotel with a nice bed, I will call the front desk and ask them what type of bed it is and what type of bedding. I will try to buy it from my home.
Bob the Drag Queen
I heard a rumor about someone.
Monet X Change
Okay, Umbrella Academy number three.
Bob the Drag Queen
Whatever.
Monet X Change
It's giving number three.
Bob the Drag Queen
I heard a rumor that you walked into the river. I heard a room about someone that they. Their housekeepers come back. I heard a room. You came back. Jesus Christ, come back. I remember that you're, like, really nice to me and friendly throughout the rest of the podcast. Does that work?
Monet X Change
I. Sorry, I don't think your powers are working.
Bob the Drag Queen
My hearing's off. But that. This. This one person, whenever they do that, when their housekeepers come over, they hide a small artifact around the house, and the housekeepers aren't allowed to leave until they find it.
Monet X Change
That's. That.
Bob the Drag Queen
That feels abusive.
Monet X Change
You do not know someone that does that.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know them. I've heard rumor about someone who does that.
Monet X Change
I must say, if you know someone, you should not be friends. And that sounds. That sounds insane.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I've heard rumors about someone who does that.
Monet X Change
No, I've heard people who, when they have housekeepers come, they'll like, put something, like, in a place that should be cleaned. And then when they done check if they got the thing. They're like, oh, you didn't. Blah, blah, blah. But I mean, I have a pretty good relationship with my housekeeper. I mean, I. Andy makes fun of me about this, but it's just. Again, how I fucking grew up. I clean before the housekeeper comes. Cause I don't want them to feel like I'm some dirty slob. So I will, like, clean before the housekeeper cleans. And he thinks that's. He thinks that's a thousand people doing. I don't like doing a deep clean, but I'll like, you know, like. Like basic things. Like, I don't know, like, I'm wiping around the sink and, like, cleaning my mirrors a little bit. And they, like, do the nigger also, like. I also ask them to do things like clean like once, like twice a year. Clean the baseboards. I also have to plan beforehand. Hey, can you like, do. Cause this is what I hate doing. I hate. Cause I used to hate doing it as a kid. It used to fucking piss me off. I hate cleaning the fridge. So like twice a. Ask them to do that for me or fridge for you. I hate. You got to take everything out.
Bob the Drag Queen
Clean your fridge for you, Bob.
Monet X Change
No, you won't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, I would. I clean fridges. Why would I clean the fridge?
Monet X Change
You will not clean my fridge, nigga. You're supposed to be sending me TikTok every Monday. You're late.
Bob the Drag Queen
First of all, I've been sent. I sent you way more than 10 last time. Let me be clear.
Monet X Change
Okay, but that's.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you've also not paid. And you've also not paid me yet.
Monet X Change
You. I told you this is. This is not a paid position.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you get. You get what you pay for.
Monet X Change
Oh, yes. So we drove down to Uvita and Andy. Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I will say I clean our fridge at home.
Monet X Change
Do you?
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe. Like maybe twice a year, maybe.
Monet X Change
Jacob, is that true? Jacob? Tell the truth, Shane. The devil. I have cleaned our fridge twice a year.
Jonathan Van Ness
When was the last time you cleaned our fridge?
Bob the Drag Queen
If you go back and you realize that all that takeout food you left in there, it's not there anymore. I don't know. You also notice that all the packages are in those mason jars that are now in. You remember how you went and grabbed the soy sauce we had last time? We had sushi.
Jonathan Van Ness
That's fair. Did you clean it or did you just organize it?
Monet X Change
Organizing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I also cleaned that. I took the things out. I wiped them down because there was something you had. One of the sauce you had had, like, it was like drippy and sticky. So you'll notice underneath it, it's not sticky anymore.
Monet X Change
Taking out all the shelving and cleaning.
Bob the Drag Queen
I cleaned the fridge. I don't know why I find it so hard to believe.
Monet X Change
I'm just asking Jacob. Jacob said. Jacob said he didn't see. No. So that's why I asked. And I don't live there, so I don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I cleaned the fridge. Me and Camion did it together, actually. I mean, Camion kind of stood there while I was cleaning it. Okay.
Monet X Change
They drove down to. Oh, my God. I'll never get the story out. We drove down to Uvita and we stayed at Andy. Got an Airbnb. Now, normally I would not say this Airbnb. I was like, you know what? This is like in like the jungle. Like, it looked really cool. It had this like, cool outdoor shower. So we'll do it right, Stay at this thing. It's like basically the kitchen, the fridge, everything except the bedroom is outside. So you come in and like the kitchen, the dining thing, everything is outside and only the bedroom has a seat inside, right? So we're in the bedroom. We're there for two days leave. We didn't. We did not do. We did not use the fridge, the stove. We didn't use any of that stuff. Cause we just basically slept there and we ate out and did adventures, like activities. Leaving, coming back, I see a message from the Airbnb host. Her name is Debbie. Fucking Debbie. From Uvita, Costa Rica. Ok, Bob, let me read this motherfucking message from fucking Debbie.
Bob the Drag Queen
You asked Debbie Gavage, I can already tell.
Monet X Change
Debbie Gavage, gather the shit for nobody. Here goes Debbie. Oh, I can't even see it. Fuck.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, Debbie David, you big fat, white, racist smelling fat bitch. Literally motherfucking schedule with your trifling, dirty white, racist ass, big body bitch, Oompa Loompa body ass bitch. I'm coming up there and I'm going to beat the fuck out you, bitch.
Monet X Change
Debbie basically sent a thing like, hey, I saw that, you guys. Wait, hold on. Just give me one second. I'm going to. Because I have it right here, a reimbursement request.
Bob the Drag Queen
Reimbursement? You asked your money back?
Monet X Change
No, she asked for money back.
Bob the Drag Queen
What did you do?
Monet X Change
I can't see. Oh. So Debbie said there was a damage comforter. It appears as if the tag was ripped off of the comforter, causing damage to the material and seams. Unfortunately, delivery to Costa Rica of important items of imported items is very costly and time consuming. Also, the batteries were removed and missing from the fan light and the lighter was missing for the stove. It is a picture. I'm going to show you the picture of this. Of this motherfucking comforter.
Bob the Drag Queen
She gathered you, Bob.
Monet X Change
This is the. This is the rip. I'm going to send it to the group.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, put it, put it in the group so I can look at it. Honestly. She gathered you. You. You damaged her belongings.
Monet X Change
So Andy and I, we have no idea what the fuck Debbie was talking about. We didn't rip anything from the motherfucking comforter. And then.
Bob the Drag Queen
So she's making it up.
Monet X Change
I mean, I'm not saying that it didn't happen. I'm saying Andy and I did not rip this Tag off of. Off of her comforter, y'. All. This is the picture. Jay. Jay's putting it right here. This is what she's saying. And she's saying, this is weird. She's owed $163 for this.
Bob the Drag Queen
How'd it get ripped if y' all didn't do it?
Monet X Change
I don't. Maybe it was ripped before we got there. I don't know. I don't know how it got ripped. I know that Andy and I did not do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
How do you know that?
Monet X Change
Because Andy said that he didn't do it, and I did not do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did y' all check beforehand?
Monet X Change
No. Cause we don't. We didn't check to see if the tab was ripping.
Bob the Drag Queen
You checking for hair? You look in the corners?
Monet X Change
So then I said, hey, I just saw your reimbursement request for the comforter, the batteries, and the stove lighter. We never removed the remote from the wall, so, like, it was a ceiling fan with the remote in the wall. We literally just pressed the button and it went on and off. We did not remove it from the wall. Never used the stove. As we did not cook. We also did not detach.
Bob the Drag Queen
Black folks love that. As we. Black folks love. As we did not cook. Black folks be driving before. They'd be like, as we were. We did not ruin your place as we never showed up.
Monet X Change
So this may have happened with a previous guest. Please advise on how you like to proceed. She's like, the cleaning lady, and I personally took care of the space before you arrived. The comforter was not in that condition. The lighter was there, and the remote worked. So then Andy, like, went in and say, like, debbie, blah, blah, blah, blah. So then Debbie.
Bob the Drag Queen
Debbie is lighting y' all up. Debbie's gonna let y' all have it. Y' all about to be banned.
Monet X Change
So Andy said, if you could. Also, we ripped. Also, if we ripped the comforter as a tag, as you said, could you send a picture of the remove tag that you may have found in the trash? She says, we don't feel it's sanitary to look through the trash, and it is trash day. So it was taken to the collection area at the end of the road. I have never made a claim in my four plus years to run Airbnb. I'm sorry, but we didn't miss any. Anything prior to your arrival. Here we go. We did find three places that cocaine residue we did find three places that cocaine residue was on. But as we were showing the house at that time, the clean lady quickly wiped the surfaces down and didn't feel comfortable taking photos in front of prospective buyers. I prefer all communication happened through Airbnb. Please. Now accusing us of doing cocaine. I'm like, so what she's talking about. Ann and I, we dirt. We made our protein shakes every morning. So it was protein powder that was on the kitchen table.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, so now that summer's really here, I've been feeling that itch to freshen up my wardrobe. But I don't want to fall into the trap of buying trendy stuff that I will only wear once or twice.
Monet X Change
That's Randy. When have you bought anything trendy?
Bob the Drag Queen
Hey, hilarious. That's why I'm so into Quint right now. Their pieces feel elevated but not flashy, just effortlessly stylish. The quality truly beyond what I expected for the price. And it's a rare combo where you can get comfort, style, and value all in one lineup. I picked a 100% European linen shirt. It was under $40, and honestly, it feels like something I would have paid a hundred dollars for somewhere else. Grabbed a washable silk skirt and this gorgeous bluish color. And it's been my go to for, like, if I'm trying to fill my little gender bender fantasy out in the streets, it looks luxe, it feels weightless, and I don't even have to worry about dry cleaning. Major win.
Monet X Change

When I read the cocaine, I was like, no accusing him of doing cocaine. So Andy goes, this is wild. I'm sober for 14 years.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm suing. I'm suing for that. This is wild.
Monet X Change
I'm sober 14 years. Are you sure you're looking at the property? We won't be upgrading to your property and paying you for your regular maintenance of your belongings. I'm sorry. Good luck.

Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, let's have a conversation about a few things here, okay? Do you think there's a possibility that in jostling around Andy's feet are.
Monet X Change
Can you have a Serious conversation.
Bob the Drag Queen
Andy doesn't wear. Andy doesn't wear. He wears yabadaba shoes. You don't think that in jostling around, moving around, you could have. Maybe. Possibly. There's not a chance on earth that in the. In tossing and turning or adjusting or maybe you and him were trying to be cute and fight over the she. That you could have caused a small rip in her comforter?
Monet X Change
No. Anything. I didn't engage in Engage. Anything like that, y'. All. And I will say this. As someone who has been using comforters for 35 years. We know this. Tags that are sewn into comforters, bitch, you have a. You. You'll have a better time breaking into Fort Knox. Tags on comforters you'll be having. You'll be on your comforter. Like, also. Go ahead.

Based on the photo, like, I understand that there's a rip that is, like, a pretty easy, like, sewing fix. So the implication that because of that tiny rip, she has to throw out the entire mattress, like, the entire comforter and get a new one shipped in for $140 is wild. Like, would have made more sense.
Monet X Change
$3.
Jonathan Van Ness
It would have been made more sense if she's like, hey, this is ripped. I'm just gonna need, like, this much money to, like, take it to get, like, repaired. But also, that's like. Like, you can hand stitch that. That is not, like, a crazy. That comforter is by no stretch needed needing to be replaced.
Bob the Drag Queen
Her mom made that comforter.
Monet X Change
You know what I want to say? It looked like it, and her mom.
Bob the Drag Queen
Sewed a tag into it.
Monet X Change
That comforter was from the civil. That was a civil rights comfort that was old and tattered. It wasn't. It wasn't even, like, a new thing. They barely kept us warm because the thing didn't have any polyfill inside of it.
Bob the Drag Queen
So because it was. Keep you warm, you may have been, like, tighting around your body, moving around in a lot because you tried it. I'm just skiing. I'm just.
Monet X Change
Debbie tried it. I was. I was so gagged.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you have an extra lighter in your house? Right? Do you have a lighter on you?
Monet X Change
We. We stole the light for the cell. We didn't even cook anything.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you have a lighter on you?
Monet X Change
No, I don't. So now. So now we're in fucking Airbnb court with this fucking bitch. Tied him in, fucking.
Bob the Drag Queen
You about to get banned. You keep playing around with Debbie. Debbie, don't play with Debbie. Honey. Debbie has been doing this for four years. She has never filed a claim in her life.
Monet X Change
I did get a little shady when she sent the pictures of the comforter. I said. I said, the $163 you are seeking may be used to get a better manicure next time. Look at. Look at her nails. Look at her fingernails.
Bob the Drag Queen
Kevin, that was so uncalled for.
Monet X Change
Well, she tried it.
Bob the Drag Queen
How do you feel about me calling you Kevin?
Monet X Change
I don't care. You know. You know, all my. All my close friends. I guess you're not a close friend. All my really close friends who knew me before I. Well, it's. It's all my. It's all my BD friends before drag. Like Kameka. Before drag.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm going home.
Monet X Change
Like Kameka, Arcia, dejuan, Tyrone. Like, they all. Have you ever met my friend Tyrone?
Bob the Drag Queen
Not to my knowledge.
Monet X Change
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think so.
Monet X Change
Tyrone is the first person I ever told I was gay. And that's because on a lunch break.
Bob the Drag Queen
Everyone else told you.
Monet X Change
On a lunch break. I don't. Debbie got me hot. I am sweating in my fucking pits on my lunch break one day for school.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't rip the tag out that tank. Shop.
Monet X Change
Lunch break from school. You know, if you've been on this podcast, you heard this before. I used to frequent the glory holes on my school, and then.
Bob the Drag Queen
I really don't like that.
Monet X Change
It's my truth. And then, so one day I was leaving and Tyrone was walking to get his lunch, and he saw me coming out of there. And in my mind, I guess there's no implication that I was gay, but I knew I was doing gay activities, so I felt I just had to tell him that I was gay because he saw me leaving the. The. The video store. Can you pay attention?
Bob the Drag Queen
I am paying attention. I was looking at the picture. I think that. So you'd be. You'd be okay with. With me calling you Kevin from now on on the podcast and everything on stage? Give it up for Kevin.
Monet X Change
Okay? Not on stage. When I'm. When I'm in drag now I drag. I don't care.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not interested in that personally.
Monet X Change
Can I get. Can I. Can I go? Christopher.
Bob the Drag Queen
No one calls me Christopher except my mom was one person called me Christopher.
Monet X Change
What. What did Justin call you?
Bob the Drag Queen
Chris. Career. Career Justin calls me Chris.
Monet X Change
He. He did not say the last S. Girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Justin says, hello, Chris.
Monet X Change
How are you? Justin does not say the S on your name like Chris.
Bob the Drag Queen
My mother called me Christopher. Camion calls me Uncle Chris.
Monet X Change
But can you. But can you tell the people you. You. Because when I first met Bob. I was him as Bob. And then you know when you spend time with Queen because queens never really know each other's government names. But then obviously we spent a lot of time together so we would find, we found each other's government name. And from the beginning you like you told me you hate, you hate your name Christopher. Why? I never knew why. Or maybe I think I did. I forgot.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just don't like the name. It's really not deep. I just don't like the name.
Monet X Change
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was never like that. I actually don't mind the name Christopher. I do not like the name Chris. And if you tell people your name was Christopher, they're gonna call you Chris. You're gonna get called Chris. My mom was the only person that called me Christopher. And I, I just do not like, I don't like the name Chris. I never like the name Chris. And I started going by Caldwell in high school because me, Chris Kind and Chris Kennedy all sitting next to each other. Our class was in alphabetical order by first name. So all the Chris's were in one group together sitting there.
Monet X Change
That seems so strange. What kind of back swamp backwoods is that? They put you on alphabetical order by your first name.
Bob the Drag Queen
What is backwoods about sitting in Alphabet order by your first name?
Monet X Change
That's weird. That is some country can y'. All.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not what is what what about that is country. Explain. Explain it quickly.
Monet X Change
That it only happens in the South. I have never ever heard that happen anywhere else. But when you have said it and you only.
Bob the Drag Queen
You only heard of it happening one time in one class. You've never so happens in the south. You've only heard that. That's like for example, if I stubbed my toe, if I. If I stubbed my toe on the center block. But you only heard one story of one person doing it. Because it happened in Alabama does not mean that that's an Alabama thing.
Monet X Change
It is it. I'm saying for you. This is a Columbus. No, whatever this is. I have never. Why would it, why would your teacher sit you a novel order by first name? It doesn't make any sense.
Bob the Drag Queen
Ask her. It's also not a thing in the South. One teacher did it in one class. It is not a southern thing. You know literally nothing about the South.
Monet X Change
Oh, and I will say this.
Bob the Drag Queen
I saw convinced that you've never even been there before.
Monet X Change
I saw you, I saw your little poll. And Texas is the, is the south compared by judging by your poll. And y' all know Bob is the most Gloating this bitch ever. He ain't tweeting the results of that election.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm going to remind you all this, this is why, this is why I feel so confident. And I never feel bad about my take about Texas being the South. If you ask someone who is from the south, they will. If you ask anyone, any, anyone from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, the Carolinas, Tennessee, West Virginia, if they think Texas south, we all pretty much, I'm gonna say somewhere in the 90 something percent we're all like, that is not the South. And the reason why is this. I'll say this is why there is nowhere you can go in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina or West Virginia where you will not be like I am in the South. There's not a corner of the state anywhere you can go that a. Not a swamp. Swamp, not a river, not a, not a wooded area, not a suburb where you and I'd be like I am in the South. There are places in, in, in Texas, a lot of places in Texas you can go especially as you get further away from Louisiana. The further you get from Louisiana, the, the less southern it gets, the more wild wild west it becomes. And then as you go south, it becomes more and more Mexican. There are so many places in Texas you can go where it's just not you like this is not giving any southern culture. So no matter what the people from Texas say, or especially what some fucking Yankee says, yeah, the Yankees that wanted.
Monet X Change
To fucking be like the Yankees, that will never matter to me that had abolitionists anyway, then we'll be clear, there.
Bob the Drag Queen
Were lots of abolitionists in the South. I don't know where you think, but.
Monet X Change
More, but more, but more in New York.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know where you think the.
Monet X Change
Abolitionist movement started, but more in New York.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, wait, you think the abolitionist movement started in New York?
Monet X Change
I did not say started in New York, but I said by the time anyways and motherfucker, then what was the point to post? What was the point of, of of of your little poll? What was the point for what?
Bob the Drag Queen
It doesn't matter the results. But what is what I know and I was One thing is for sure, you, you know nothing about the south. So what you say literally doesn't matter at all.
Monet X Change
So what was the point of the polls?
Bob the Drag Queen
You think sitting alphabetically by your first.
Monet X Change
Name is Southern because there's some weird ass that only happened in the South. We have common sense and smart.
Bob the Drag Queen
Your opinion is so, is so invalid in this conversation.
Monet X Change
I just. Can you answer the question? Why the poll. Because let me. Let me tell you something right now. As far as shorts, my name is Monet. Moneta X. Change from Brooklyn.
Bob the Drag Queen
Stop pointing at our viewers like that. They don't deserve this comforter. This was you ripping the comforter to shreds, stealing lighters. You were stealing lighters, batteries, and ripping comfort to the straight with those big, giant gorilla hands.
Monet X Change
One of us has gorilla hands. I have gorilla hands. You have fucking slave hands.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can scratch both your shoulders at the same time with one hand. Don't act cute, bitch.
Monet X Change
As sure as minus Monet. Shane. If.
Bob the Drag Queen
If the.
Monet X Change
If the results said no, Texas of the south, we would not have heard the end of it, but it's because no one agreed with this motherfucker. It was like what, 70? It was like fucking 90%.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because they weren't Southerners voting. Because they weren't Southerners voting.
Monet X Change
How do you know?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because I literally have all. I have the statistics.
Monet X Change
Okay, show up, us.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't wait to. This is so. I'm tell you right now when I get a chance to be like.
Monet X Change
Also, also. And. And.
Bob the Drag Queen
And don't move it.
Monet X Change
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm saying this. This.
Monet X Change
This is part of the whole thing. And even not the South. So. So only. It's the only. It's the only people from the south get to vote.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, no. Anyone can vote. Obviously, anyone can vote. Only people from the south know. How would you know, Mon? You literally. You literally don't know what Southern is. You literally. You lived there for like three weeks, bitch, a year. I lived in New York City for 12 years. I know how you all are. I understand the New Yorker.
Monet X Change
According to you, three weeks is 12 years. Whatever the fuck.
Bob the Drag Queen
Listen, I understand the New Yorker. You don't understand the Southerner. Honey. Honey Boo Boo. So my following is broken. I got to go to my analytics.
Monet X Change
Not all your. Your analysts, everything. Which of that specific.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, no, Representative.
Monet X Change
No, we're not seeing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Representative.
Monet X Change
No, that's not how that works.
Bob the Drag Queen
Representative.
Monet X Change
This is a play from Elon Musk. This playbook. This is Elon Musk right here.
Bob the Drag Queen
How? Well, we already know you're the Trump of the podcast. So I guess if you're Trump, I'm Elon, then I guess. Honey, we already know you're the Trump of drag. This has been confirmed. You're laughing because you know it's true.
Monet X Change
You're out of control.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're. You're. You are the. The capitalist icon.
Monet X Change
Elon is more of the capitalist than Trump.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're the capitalist, the. The big icon of capitalism. I don't know how to get to my statistic. There we go. Here we go. Most of my followers are from New York City. Second, Los Angeles, third, London, and fourth, Chicago.
Monet X Change
We want the metric from that voting block. Not just that.
Bob the Drag Queen
So, so, so obviously most of my votes are going to come from those places because that's where most of my followers are. Obviously. No, and that seems obvious to me. But also, again, you. You, considering how little you know about the south, your opinion. And also what will never, ever cease to amaze me is honestly how before Lizzo felt attacked as a Texan who's masquerading as a Southerner, she was like, oh, no, it's not the South. And then she was like, oh, I thought you were from Texas. Nah, nah, Melissa.
Monet X Change
She's using the same thing as you.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was a. Nah, Melissa.
Monet X Change
She's raising her vote based on where the person. Like, you're literally. She's literally doing a Bob the Drag Queen.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but she's from Texas. People from Texas don't know any better.
Monet X Change
I can't. This is insane.
Bob the Drag Queen
Texas don't know any better. They think they're from the south and they're not.
Monet X Change
So all the Texans.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know why y' all want to be in the south so bad. I don't know what is people's obsession with wanting to be Southern when they're not Southern. I will. In fact, I will do a deeper dive in this once you get your full knuckle in your ear.
Monet X Change
Knuckle if you buckle. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I will personally never understand people's deep obsession with wanting to be from the south so bad when y' all are clearly just not from the South. But it's just about matter where you. Where you're from. Monet, you're from New York. You're a New Yorker. You were born and raised in New York and apparently in Bushwick and Bed Stuy and Bensonhurst and. And Kew Gardens and Queens. You bounced you from.
Monet X Change
You.
Bob the Drag Queen
You changed your neighborhood based on how tough you want to be or how high class you want to be perceived.
Monet X Change
Where is. Where is. Where is. Where is. Where's high class Brooklyn?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know, but you'd be changing your head.
Monet X Change
I say I'm from East floppers. I'm trying to say I'm a high class.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, but will you be like, oh, I'm from Brookshire, Brooklyn, dear.
Monet X Change
Ever said that?
Bob the Drag Queen
What's the neighborhood with all the Italians that you've Been trying to act like you was from one time.
Monet X Change
I never said I'm from Bentonhurst.
Bob the Drag Queen
Where was your high school at? What neighbor was your high school in?
Monet X Change
Marine Park.
Bob the Drag Queen
Marine park, dear.
Monet X Change
Marine park is not a nice part of Brooklyn.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet goes, oh, I'm from Park Slope, darling.
Monet X Change
I lived in Park Slope. Not from there.
Bob the Drag Queen
You've been in 19. Apparently your house was on wheels. Was y' all living in the fucking trailer home? Why was your house moving? Nigga, was you in the only trailer park in New York city?
Monet X Change
I'm so nerv. Mr. Fennec City, Mississippi was moving.
Bob the Drag Queen
You were in one place acting, Monet. You lived in one one home in New York City.
Monet X Change
You from Columbus, Georgia, Phoenix City, Mississippi River, Andalusia, Alabama.
Bob the Drag Queen
You keep saying, I'm never lived in Andalus. People think, people come up to me thinking I'm from Andalusia because you keep telling people I'm from Andalusia. I have never lived in Andalusia. I've been to Andalusia. I am not from Andalusia. Y'. All with y'.
Monet X Change
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have never lived in Andalusia, Alabama in my life.
Monet X Change
And you're like, sister.
Bob the Drag Queen
And also to the people who y' all the people. For whatever reason, I don't know what it is about me that makes people think that I lived in Brooklyn. I have never lived in Brooklyn. For some reason, people think I was a Brooklyn Queen, which is so crazy to me.
Monet X Change
Sup it on. You have, you have, you have been on a campaign to take Brooklyn Queen from Thorgy Thor. And you know, you have, you have business.
Bob the Drag Queen
Y. I have probably done three shows in, in the 12 years I lived in New York City, I have probably done three shows in Brooklyn.
Monet X Change
Can you stop swinging them flash waters at the camera? I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I have his hair scared.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know you, I know you're not talking with. Take off those m those catchers mitts before you talk to me. I thought you better go play a game of baseball or some.
Monet X Change
You have leather bound bibles you got on your attached to your wrist.
Bob the Drag Queen
You better up hand fans.
Monet X Change
Batter up.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do. Yeah. But anyway, like I said, I, y', all, for those of you thinking I have never lived in Brooklyn, I have only performed in Brooklyn. Maybe I think I've run at this and that once. I performed at one Frankie Sharp party and I did a gig under the Brooklyn Bridge one time. Like Last Pride. Like literally just this Last Pride. I am not. I have never lived in Brooklyn. In My entire. I lived in Queensland. I lived in Manhattan. Mostly Manhattan.
Monet X Change
I mean, for all the girls that know. We know Bob has gone on a slanderous campaign to steal the crown of a Brooklyn queen from Thorgy Thor. We know what you've done, but anyway.
Bob the Drag Queen
We already know that Sasha Velour has snatched that crown from Thorgy. She will never have it back.
Monet X Change
Oh, damn. You know Sasha Velour is doing if your favorite. Your favorite pop diva on. On Work the World.
Bob the Drag Queen
Kesha.
Monet X Change
Who's she doing? God, stop.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who is she doing? I hate you. Who is she doing?
Monet X Change
Madonna. Madonna. I am so sorry. You are not Bob's fave anymore. He don't like you. Oh, my God.
Bob the Drag Queen
And. And you know who don't like you? Rihanna. That's why you weren't in Barbados. Yeah.
Monet X Change
That is low down and dirty. I. That is one of the meanest. That is so mean.
Bob the Drag Queen
And while. While. While Simone was. Was like. Did you hear Simone describe what happened in the Barbados. Honestly, it didn't sound like the vibe I thought it was going to be.
Monet X Change
Why. Why would she say I didn't see it?
Bob the Drag Queen
RuPaul was like, what did you do in Barbados? And she was like, I met Rihanna. So Simone went to RuPaul's book signing, and RuPaul interviewed her from the stage to the floor. By the way, she didn't invite her. She didn't invite her on stage, which is. That's crazy, right?
Monet X Change
Wait, was it impromptu? Was like a schedule, like, interview?
Bob the Drag Queen
Simone was in the audience just answering questions like a regular fan in the audience.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I was like. I thought RuPaul would be like, hey, girl, come up on stage. RuPaul was like.
Monet X Change
Okay. So RuPaul asked, Is there a video of this?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. Simone's in full drag. And then she's like, so what are. What have you been up to lately? What's the most recent thing you've done? And she was like, I went to hang out with Rihanna in Barbados, and she's like, oh, what was it? Like, what did you do with Rihanna? She's like, we took a picture. We did some shots, and that was it. And I was like, you was down there for, like, days. You took one, y'.
Monet X Change
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
You and Real took one picture. That was the only time you saw her after we're taking one picture. I thought they was. I thought it was, like, cutting up and Kiki in.
Monet X Change
That's what it looked like I saw. Oh, my God. I watched your Scott Evans interview. So fun.
Bob the Drag Queen
I like Scott Evans. Have you.
Monet X Change
Have you Met Scott Evans before you met? A few times. I love Scott. He's very sweet. Where I met Scott? At the Elton John's party. Him and I hung out for a bit at Elton John. We also hung out. Where did we hung out also I hung out together at the GLAAD Media Awards. We've been setting to hang out, but we just haven't. I've not been in town. He hasn't been in town either.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's on Natasha doing with Madonna?
Monet X Change
I don't know. I just saw all the pictures of her wearing her Madonna look.
Jonathan Van Ness
I don't think they've started the tour yet. So we don't know what the girls are.
Monet X Change
Like. Do you see these girls they on stage and if one of them know the choreography. None of us know the choreography. Where's she from?
Bob the Drag Queen
Where is she from with that accent?
Monet X Change
That's how Vanjie talks. It's like, it's like, it's like Vanjie is like a weird like Florida slash, almost like Brooklyn Puerto Rican accent. It's very interesting. Vanity's accent is very interesting. Well, when she works hyper it gets very New York. But she's from New York.
Bob the Drag Queen
What is she, Puerto Rican?
Monet X Change
Yeah, she's Puerto Rican, but when she gets angry she sounds like a New Yorker. Have you, have you noticed this?
Bob the Drag Queen
I, I don't think I've been around her angry before.
Monet X Change
Well, not angry, but I, I, I, I amped up when she's like putting on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but I think there's something about the porter. A Puerto Rican accent that is kind of just a New York accent. Like I would say New York is the only place you can be born in America. Never leave America, but still have a Puerto Rican accent that like born and raised in America, Never leave the state, leave the country, Never leave the state. And then still, still have a thick Puerto Rican accent.
Monet X Change
I was talking about people don't. I was talking about these New Yorkers that who end up, I mean, I don't know if you ever met this, have you ever met a New Yorker who's never left their burrow?
Bob the Drag Queen
I never met one, but I've heard about them. I, I heard of a woman from there. I, I, There was a woman when I was in Staten island, which I've only been to Staten island like twice in my whole life.
Monet X Change
Life.
Bob the Drag Queen
This lady was like, she was so proud about the fact she didn't, she was like it was a point of pride for her that she has never been to Manhattan.
Monet X Change
Yeah, it's the thing and people and I've said this before. People like, that's not true. I'm like, it is true. I know people who have. I know people who have never left Brooklyn. They've never left Manhattan.
Bob the Drag Queen
Never set foot out of Brooklyn.
Monet X Change
No. Have not gone to Queens. I mean, maybe. Maybe they've been a little extra extra about the Queens, because Queens in Brooklyn are so close. But. But I know people from Brooklyn who for sure had never been to Manhattan. They've never stepped across into Manhattan.
Bob the Drag Queen
To those of you who are not from the New York area, Queens and Brooklyn share a land mass. They're like, there's. The only thing between them is streets. Now, obviously, Manhattan is an island. Manhattan is on island. And then the Bronx is like, goes up into upstate, and then Staten island is also an island. So two of them are islands. The Bronx is not really connected like that, but Brooklyn and Queens are just one big chunk of land.
Monet X Change
Long Island. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Connected to Long Island. Yeah.
Monet X Change
No, they're not connected. They are long islands.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you get on the G train and you just. You just hop out before, like. I don't understand. But the G train is, child, you cannot pay when you get back on the G train. That train is crazy.
Monet X Change
Recently. I think they fixed it recently.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I haven't been on a long time.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I think they. They've got it together, but yeah. Oh, wait. Names. So my name is Kevin Akeem Burton. I don't know to tell this story. I mean, I don't know if this can. This doesn't matter. So my birth name is Kevin Akeem Burton. My mother gave. My birth mother gave me June. My name was a K E E M. Right. But at some point when I got my passport renewed in high school or something, they thought the A. They thought it was spelled a K E A M. So now because it's like that on my passport, anytime I fill out a document, I spell it like that because I don't want any troubles. So legally, my middle name is A K E E M. But I mean, I guess legally it's spelled both ways. So one day Flag is going to get me. But for now, I'm just. I'm just. I'm just chilling.
Bob the Drag Queen
My name is Christopher Delmar Caldwell. Christopher means Christ bearer. Del Mar is literally Spanish for from the sea. And Caldwell is just like a Scottish word for like a cold well or a cold spring. Now, my middle name is spelled D E L A M A R, but it's pronounced Del Mar. My name is Del Mar. My name is not Delamar. My name is Del Mar. Christopher Del Mar Caldwell.
Monet X Change
It's so funny. That means of the sea when Bob hates water. Which is so weird because you're also water sign. Cancers are emotional and they're like water.
Bob the Drag Queen
Also Christ bearer. Age of Aquarius.
Monet X Change
What I don't get. Because. Because. Because Aquarius is a water bearer.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then the Pisces comes after that. So Jesus is a Pisces, right?
Monet X Change
Is he?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Jesus is a Pisces.
Monet X Change
I mean, like. Like in biblically, Jesus is a. Is an. Is. Is an Aquarius.
Bob the Drag Queen
So he's an Aquarius. Yeah. So Christ bearer. Christ the water bearer. Aquarius. Water.
Monet X Change
Oh, Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
All of my names. All of my names have something to do with water.
Monet X Change
And you hate water.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't hate water. I don't go in the ocean. There's a difference between hating water and respecting the ocean.
Monet X Change
One time Bob came over. Bob came out and. Was it Jacob? Was it Jacob with us? No, it was someone else. And Alfredo. Bob. Bob agreed to go in the hotel. No, it wasn't always Alfredo. Yeah. I was so gagged to. Bob agreed to go in my hot tub. I was gagged. I've never seen you submerged in a body of water. A pool. A hot tub. A kiddie pool. Nothing. I was gagged. Bob was the only person in our crew that didn't do the Ice Bucket challenge. He said water. Not me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not afraid of water. This is not true. I am afraid of the ocean. I respect the ocean for who she is because she's that girl. And I'm not. I'm not. I have no desire to battle the ocean. Poseidon will take me down. Honey. Okay.
Monet X Change
My names.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you act like I'm. Like I'm the fucking Wicked Witch of the west. Afraid of water. I. I don't particularly find water fun. Like splashing around in a pool is not fun for me. Sitting in a hot tub is not fun for me.
Monet X Change
You did it the other night.
Bob the Drag Queen
I did it. I was socializing.
Monet X Change
Okay. The name Kevin is of Irish origin, means handsome and is derived from the Irish name common, which means from the elements. Okay. What does my middle name mean? I think it's African. The name Akeem. Arabic could be African means intelligent or wise. So I am so handsome. Wise. What does Burton mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Berton.
Monet X Change
Burton is of. I knew It's French. Is Germanic and French origin meaning bright. Bright or famous. So handsome. What does Akeem mean again?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Monet X Change
Handsome, intelligent, bright.
Bob the Drag Queen

Bob the Drag Queen
There's a lot of gay cabin.

Okay, that's because Kevin, the. Your friend Kevin. He's the only other Kevin I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm just saying that's, that's. We're already. We're already. We're already making a good case.
Monet X Change
How many Christophers you think there are in Drag Race? I'll bet you this there are more Christophers in Drag Race than Kevin's.
Bob the Drag Queen
Um, what is the. I think. I think the most common name in Drag Race is probably Brian.
Monet X Change
I only know two of them. Trixon Conte. Who else is Brian?
Bob the Drag Queen
There's more. There's a lot of Brian's in Drag Race. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
Who give us. You say, oh, these.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't remember. But there's another one. I remember there was. There was like a third one that. Oh, isn't. What's the girl who, who, who didn't want Ariel to be Black Arrow Versace.
Monet X Change
She's Brian. I don't know. I don't know her name.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think her name is Brian too.
Monet X Change
Work.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then isn't Sasha Bell's name Brian?
Monet X Change
You don't want that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Brian might be the gay.
Monet X Change
The draggers historian.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Brian might be the gayest name.
Monet X Change
How many ruse are there?
Jonathan Van Ness
I think it's Michael.
Bob the Drag Queen
Michael's the most common one. You think?
Jonathan Van Ness
No, I think Michael is the gay. One of the gayest names.
Monet X Change
Why Michael?
Bob the Drag Queen
I know any gay Michaels.
Jonathan Van Ness
I know so many also. I guess when I'm looking in the. Let me look. Also I'm in the gaming chorus and we have a directory and you can see all the names. And there were like 10 Michaels in the chorus. And like, let's look at Kevin. Okay. There are four Kevins and four Michaels in the chorus.
Monet X Change
Four Kevin and four Michaels. How many Christophers, Chris?
Jonathan Van Ness
There is 1, 2, 3, 4.
Bob the Drag Queen
Christopher is also a very common name. Christopher is a super. I mean, the three of us. Chris, Jacob and Kevin. Like, no one's gonna.
Jonathan Van Ness
There's only one Jacob and it's me.
Monet X Change
Say it again.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm saying I don't think 18 year olds should be on Grindr. But if I was 18, I'd be like, that's. I was 18. I'd be like, this is absolutely. I deserve to be on Grindr. I'm an adult. But when I See what I'm like, what are you. What the are you doing here?
Monet X Change
I agree. I hate it.
Bob the Drag Queen
But okay, if I'm being realistic, it's fine for 18 years to be on Grindr. Obviously they're probably hooking up with their 18 ex. Probably. If they were like you, they're hooking up with 45 year olds. Sorry, that was uncalled for.
Monet X Change
You're not wrong.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I'm always like, why are you like, you should not be in high school on Grindr.
Monet X Change
I agree, that's crazy. But they have all.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe the rule should be this.
Monet X Change
You.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you are 18, you need to. You need to send them your high school. But if you dropped out, then you can't go. That's elitist. Never mind.
Monet X Change
I also think. I mean, this may be problematic. I think that all these dabs, they should. You should have to send photo ver then. Yeah, I guess if I'm. If you want to hook up, hook up app. You want to be sending your government id.
Bob the Drag Queen
But when does age gap get like your side eye in the couple? At what chunk? And is it. Is it. Is the age gap depending on the age of the people? Like if, like if a 50 year old dating a 70 year old. Are you looking at that weird?
Monet X Change
No, but I. But if a 18 year old is dating a 30 year old, I'm looking at that weird.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm like, what if 18 year old dating a 21 year old?
Monet X Change
I mean. Yes. Yeah. I mean, I don't know because. Okay, at 18 and 21, are you contemporaries?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, you and I are contemporaries. When I was. When I was 21. Don't make me do math. Just do it for me.
Monet X Change
How old were you when I was 18? You were 22.
Bob the Drag Queen
So Jacob is. Jacob is seven years younger than me.
Monet X Change
Me. Right. So Jacob 18. And you met Jacob at 20. Jacob was 18.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to be very clear. I was in my 30s. I want to be very clear. Jacob. I did not meet Jake when he was a. A 18 year old. I met Jacob at 20. Jesus Christ. I'm so bad at math. And I also don't know how Jacob. How old Jacob is, because he always lies about how old he is.
Jonathan Van Ness
That's how I like it.
Monet X Change
I was.
Jonathan Van Ness
I was. And I'm 30.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob is not 30 because I'm 30. I'll be 39 this year.
Monet X Change
Jacob's 32. Jacob's 32.
Jonathan Van Ness
It doesn't matter. It's not important.
Monet X Change
We're.
Jonathan Van Ness
We're about seven or eight years apart and we met when I was in.
Bob the Drag Queen
My mid-20s and I was in my early 30s.
Monet X Change
Right, but I'm saying, But let's say you and Jacob met when he was 18 and you were 25. Is that crazy?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, yes, that's crazy.
Monet X Change
But 18 and 21 is not it.
Jonathan Van Ness
I think it's more, I mean there are specific markers in your life where I think you have life events that help you grow and move. So I think specifically college, which is from like 18 to 22 is an important time of life where you are maturing as an adult. But like there is a drastic shift between like 22 and like 20, like 21 and 22, where you're like out in the real world and like living your life and becoming like a real person. I think there's a lot of maturing that really happens in that one year. So I think there are like different, I would say they're different age grains where they're like maturity brackets. Like I feel like once you're over 50, you don't really have, you're, you're there, you don't have a lot of like emotional maturity and growing. So like if you're a 50 year old dating like a 70 year old, like you are pretty much both in the same sp stage of your life.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, like when I, when, when, when I, when you're 18, you're a recent high school graduate, you're 22, you're a recent college graduate. So I would say those are very big, big different indicators of life and maturity. You actually been living on your own probably, or at least away from home doing stuff. And I think that a, I would, if, if, if an 18 year old was dating a 20 year old, I would, I would be like, okay, whatever. I would think much about it. If an 18 year old dating a 23 year old or a 22, I'd be like, I'd be like, that's interesting. That is certainly interesting.
Monet X Change
I don't know, but I think it is a case by case. Obviously everyone is different. Right? Jacob is saying when you're 50 years old, you have a lot of maturing or growing to do. I'm like, who's to say I'm an immature people in their 50s, 100. I don't think it's about, you have a job. It's not about immature.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think it's about your level of maturity.
Monet X Change
This again, that's what Jacob just said. I'm just saying maybe, maybe I need.
Jonathan Van Ness
To rephrase as a better word. I just feel like Maybe it's not about maturity but like where you are in your life and like, like that kind of vibe. And like I still. Yeah, there are, I have met 50 year old men who. But that's also the issue. Like I think the 50 year old men who also are going after like 20 year old guys are doing it because they lack something that allows them to connect with men who are in their age group. Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
And maybe that's a lack of maturity on their part. Like I'm trying to think of my youngest. Who's my youngest friend? Who is my youngest friend?
Monet X Change
I don't have any of friends.
Bob the Drag Queen
It might be Mikey.
Monet X Change
Oh yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or I have to have friends younger than Mikey.
Monet X Change
No, no, I have friends.
Jonathan Van Ness
28, 27.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I think Mikey's the youngest person I would call a friend. I can't think of anyone younger than that I would call a friend.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let me think really hard about young friends. Mikey might be my youngest friend. 20. He's 27. Yeah. I recently hung out, hung out with a tick tocker named Keon. And I was like, I am an old person.
Monet X Change
Keon.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to say it's 22, 21. And I remember being like, what is going on? I remember it felt like I was hanging out with like skibidi toilet kids. That being said, Keon is really cool. I wouldn't, I want to say that's not a. I had a lot of fun hanging out with Keon, but there were just, there were definitely moments where, where I was like, I, I'm hanging out with, with the skippity toilet generation. That's what it felt like. Like, although I know Keon is not a gen alpha, but I was like, I was like, you guys, you guys have to be the ones who say skibidi. You have to say skibidy. This is crazy to me how like young they felt in that space.
Monet X Change
But what if you're 50 and you and you with a 25 year old? Is that crazy? Just 25 years?
Bob the Drag Queen
Probably. That seems crazy. Yeah.
Monet X Change
But I think, I think it will always be person to person. Like I don't think, I don't like Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor have a 32 year old. 32 year age difference between the two of them. They've been together for 10 years or more than that.
Bob the Drag Queen
In when I was in college, my roommate was dating a guy who was 27 and we thought he was a crusty, dusty, musty old man.
Monet X Change
100.
Bob the Drag Queen
I am now 12 years older than he was.
Monet X Change
Yeah. But also time also shifts, right Like a life expectancy. I think we're. This was like they said this on the View, like a couple days ago. I think we're all humans generally are living about 10 years more than we did 10 years ago. People are like living older. So I think that changes too. Like, because you're living longer, things change. But Holland Tail and Sarah Paulson, they've been together for over a decade and there's a 32 year old age gap. Sarah Paulson's 49 years old, which means they met when she was 40 and Holland Taylor was 70.
Bob the Drag Queen
I also don't think that the amount of time you've been together is an indication of how successful and healthy your relationship is.
Monet X Change
I think it's, I don't think it's the only bet, but I think that is a good. I mean, I think it's definitely a contributing factor. Like I will say from my own experience, right. Andy and I are in a way different and better place than we were a year as we are three years in. Cause that's cause time and knowing your partner and growing to them and growing with them and deciding what things you can tolerate or you don't want to tolerate or they need like, make room for you. I think, I think time does help with that. I can, you know, it certainly can.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. But I don't, I don't, I don't know that I would use time as a metric for how healthy your relationship is though.
Monet X Change
Like has, like, has, hasn't time made you and Jacob be better partners to each other?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, in some ways. Yeah, for sure. But I would say there are some ways that we were. Actually, Jake would have been pretty good together for, for a long time. But like, I would say that maybe there were times where. I don't know. Our relationship definitely looks different now than it did when we first started dating and we've been together for seven, eight years. Somewhere in that, in that area.
Monet X Change
Yeah. I think that time breeds comfortability. Time breeds knowledge.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know it's a word, but I don't like it. I don't know why I hate that word. I don't like it, but it is a word. But I hate the word comfortability because I feel like comfort just makes more sense. But they're both words.
Monet X Change
Well, take it up with your, with your homegirl. Miriam.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, great drag name too. Can't believe not a Miriam Webster out there.
Monet X Change
I'm sure there is. There has to be a Webster drag queen.
Bob the Drag Queen
If that's a Brita village, it's got to be a Miriam. Walter. Miriam Webster.
Monet X Change
Welter. Okay. Yeah. So, yeah, back to names. What kind? If you're gonna have a kid. What. What. What do you. What do you name your kid?
Bob the Drag Queen
I like the name Farouk.
Monet X Change
I like that.
Bob the Drag Queen
I like the name Genevieve.
Monet X Change
You always say that.
Bob the Drag Queen
I like the name Freddie for. Yeah, any gender. Freddie works for any gender, I believe.
Monet X Change
I've always liked. I was. I've always liked Dominic.
Bob the Drag Queen
Dominic.
Monet X Change
Dominic. Regardless of gender. Jade. I love a Jade. Jade is a good name for me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Although I like the name Genevieve. I think that I would probably give my kids gender neutral names, to be honest, like Freddie and Charlie and Break the norm.
Monet X Change
Make. Make. Make Bob a fucking gender neutral name. Who cares?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think I'm particularly. I've already done that. Thank you. I don't think I'm particularly interested in giving my child that struggle just for the sake of being. I did it. I name my daughter Craig against gender norms, and now she has to get bullied at school because her name is Craig. I don't think that. I don't think that. That. I don't think that's good. That doesn't seem like good parenting to me.
Monet X Change
I mean. I mean, kind of like when, like. I mean, when like, Gwen Paltry started naming the kids Apple and School bus and shit. I mean, but now Apple. Apple is not. I don't think it's like a comp. Like an Ashley, but Apple has now become a pretty. Like. You hear it more time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but I bet the first Apple had a real rough time.
Monet X Change
So you think. So you think the first Craig is gonna have a really. The first female Craig is gonna have a really bad time in school.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that naming your daughter Craig could lead to a lot of bullying. Yes, I do. You got me. I think naming your daughter Craig will. Will create a lot of bullying situations. So, like, a name like Freddie, Charlie, Taylor, Sydney.
Monet X Change
Female for, you know. You know, female Freddy is.
Bob the Drag Queen
It can often be short for Winifred.
Monet X Change
Mm. Like a Sanderson sister. Mm. Are you naming your son Kathy?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I think that that is probably gonna get Kathy bullied.
Monet X Change
You'll bring your kid. I'll Bob Bully little Kathy. Kathy Girly, faggot, ass thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
When people ask me what, like people say when I tell my dragon name is Bob and ask me what my real name is, I tell them it's Brittany because I think it's really funny. Funny. My real name is Britney. My mom named me Britney, actually, but I didn't think that was a good drag name, so I chose Bob. Instead, do.
Monet X Change
Would you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Have you thought about changing your name?
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Never. Not once?
Monet X Change
No. I like.
Bob the Drag Queen
You think Kevin's such a great name. Yeah, just fantastic.
Monet X Change
I'm a Kevin through and through, baby.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought I would change my name.
Monet X Change
Before you wanted to name it to cdc. No, to Caldwell. Like to dq. Like your legal ass name would be to dq.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but I don't feel like spelling that for people. So I, I and IQ people never know. People never know how to spell tdq.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I wouldn't know either. I just know because I know you, but I wouldn't know how to spell it. I. I'm. I, I. People always spell my last name. Like the. The snowboards. B U, R, T, O, N.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like the filmmaker. The snowboards is crazy.
Monet X Change
That's what I know it as. I don't know who the filmmaker is. You know, Barton got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're going to prison. You're going to prison. You don't. You never heard of a film broker named filmmaker named Burton? Of all people, you.
Monet X Change
That's what everyone, everyone always wants to spell it. B, A, B. And so I just. So anytime I sell somebody, I'm always say Burton, B, E, R, T, I, N. And they still spell it B, R, T, O, N. And I.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you asked me to write your name before spelling that, I would have.
Monet X Change
Said O, N. Yeah, everyone.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would have 100% said that.
Monet X Change
But after I say it, I say Kevin Burton. B, R, T, I, N. I look at the screen, I'm like, E, R, T, I, N. And they're like, oh. Oh, God.
Bob the Drag Queen
I hate when people say. When I say my name is Caldwell, and they go, oh, like the bank. That drives me crazy.
Monet X Change
Why?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because it's not a bank. Have you ever seen a Caldwell bank in your life?
Monet X Change
It's a. It's a. It's a brokerage company, something like that.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a real estate company. They're called.
Monet X Change
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
And it's not Caldwell, that's Coldwell. So, like, first of all, no, not like that. That's Coldwell. My name is Caldwell. And also, it's not a bank, it's a real estate company. So everything you said. No, nothing like that. I do, I do sometimes say, like, Caldwell, if I'm in this area, I will say, like, Caldwell, New Jersey.
Monet X Change
Because.
Bob the Drag Queen
There'S a Caldwell, New Jersey.
Monet X Change
No one knows that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, everyone from Caldwell, New Jersey, sound off in the comments right now.
Monet X Change
And it's none of y'. All.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or I will say, like, you called on the phone and it went, well.
Monet X Change
That'S See, y'. All.
Bob the Drag Queen
It works literally every time.
Monet X Change
Doing too much.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's not. It works literally every time, every. Because if people go Caldwell. What? What? Carmine Carswell. Caswell. And I say Caldwell. Like you called on the phone and it went well. It literally works every single time. What do you mean too much?
Monet X Change
How would you know C, A, L, L, E, D. Well, how you spell it.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's how you say it.
Monet X Change
Okay, so say that. Be more specific. I don't fucking know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't. Listen, I. This has been already tested. I don't need your help in this. I've already. I've already done the market research. You.
Monet X Change
You don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't even know how to get people to spell your last name right. So maybe you actually need to try something different. Have you considered that maybe. What you have. You consider maybe you're doing too little? Because even when you spell it, it's not working. You're the one.
Monet X Change
How much more? Fucking. Fucking. What's the word? An R. Not non rudimentary.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think it is a word.
Monet X Change
There's another one I'm thinking of. Anyway. Simple.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. But elementary.
Monet X Change
No. It'll come to me. I don't know how much. Oh. I don't know how remedial these fucking people are. I'm literally saying, spelling it B, E, R, T, I, N. Stop. People. Just stop assuming people spell things.
Bob the Drag Queen
Listen, in the event that you are the one who keeps getting bad results, have you ever considered that maybe it's something about the way you're communicating? So you can say Burton like I'm in here. I in Burton.
Monet X Change
That is too much. Okay, Burton like the guy from the Sesame street. And he was in the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you're not getting results and your name is getting spelled wrong all the time. So obviously you need to change what you're doing. So you can say Bert or you can say Bertin. Not Bernie.
Monet X Change
Bertin, like Ernie's. Like Ernie's fucking gay ass lover. And he was inside of Ernie. Burt is in Ernie. That's what I'm gonna say.
Bob the Drag Queen
But then they're gonna. But Bert's name is, Isn't it? BER. How's Bert spell his name?
Monet X Change
Is it B E, R? B E, R is you.
Bob the Drag Queen
But your name's not B E, R. Yes.
Monet X Change
God.
Bob the Drag Queen
The. See, you're not doing it right. Something's wrong.
Monet X Change
I. What the. I found. This whole time you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought your name was B. I thought your name was B, R, T, O, N. This whole time.
Monet X Change
No, you did not.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, Mon. I'M telling you, if you. If someone would have said, write down Monae's legal name, I would say KE V I, N. I would put a space. I would have said a K, E, E, M. I would put a space, and I would say B U, R, T, N. That's why I would have done.
Monet X Change
Done.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would say Kevin Akeem Burton.
Monet X Change
Bob, we've been friends for 15 years. This, this. This June is going to be 15 years.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you spell my middle name.
Monet X Change
Yes, spell it. Delamore.
Bob the Drag Queen
Spell it.
Monet X Change
D, E, L, A, M, A, R.
Bob the Drag Queen
My name's not pronounced Delamar, by the way.
Monet X Change
I know it's Delar. I did that. I did that to. To perturb you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, okay. I Ike. Or however your new spelling is. Ike Am. I'm gonna go watch a Tim Burton film now. I gotta go.
Monet X Change
Well, I did think about. I did think about maybe, like, having, like, a cute pronouncement. Pronouncement. To pronounce my name cute. Like, be like Kameh. Opera singers. This is something. Opera singers. Opera singers. A bitch's name will be Ashley Smith. She's like, oh, no, my name is Ashleigh Smythe. Opera singers love changing the pronunciation of their name.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are they changing the pronunciation, you think?
Monet X Change
Yes, to make them sound, like, extra fancy. See, I am Ashley Smyth.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you try to tell people to tell your name, Berton, but everyone I met in your family says Burton.
Monet X Change
You haven't heard from. Say our last name.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have met. I have your. I asked your mom how she pronounced her last name. She said Burton. So I have one person.
Monet X Change

Bob the Drag Queen
No, say Kevin.
Monet X Change
Oh, my name is Kevin.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you have to say. But everything else has to be in a neutral American accent. Hi, guys. Thank you all so much for coming out today. My name is Kevin.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah. Hi, guys. Hey, Bob. Yeah, my name is Kevin. Why is that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Because you're switching accents. That's so funny. That is so. Switching accents in the middle of a sentence is so funny to me.
Monet X Change
Bob. In one sentence, you will be from Savannah, Georgia. Then you teleport to Canarsie, then you end up in la. Bob, you have a. You have a Southern accent and you have a New York accent competing with your west coast shit.
Bob the Drag Queen
The idea that I would ever be from Savannah, Georgia, is disgusting.
Monet X Change
Oh, God.
Bob the Drag Queen
I am from Columbus and Atlanta, Georgia. Savannah.
Monet X Change
Savannah, Savannah.
Bob the Drag Queen

Podcast Summary: Sibling Rivalry – Episode: The One About Names
Release Date: July 14, 2025
Hosts: Monét X Change & Bob The Drag Queen
In this episode of Sibling Rivalry, hosts Monét X Change and Bob The Drag Queen delve into a heated and humorous discussion centered around names, personal experiences, and cultural identities. The conversation is marked by their signature chemistry, blending comedic banter with candid exchanges.
Timestamp: [01:22] – [27:48]
The episode kicks off with a dispute arising from Monét's recent trip to Uvita, Costa Rica. Monét and her partner Andy booked an Airbnb, which appeared idyllic with its outdoor-centric setup—only the bedroom provided an indoor space. However, upon departure, they received an aggressive message from their host, Debbie, accusing them of damaging the comforter by ripping off a tag and missing items like batteries and a stove lighter.
Monét recounts the incident:
"We drove down to Uvita and Andy. Got it. [...] Debbie basically sent a thing like, hey, I saw that, you guys." [14:26]
Bob vehemently reacts to the accusation:
"Reimbursement? You asked your money back? [...] She gathered you, Bob." [16:31]
The hosts express confusion and frustration, denying any wrongdoing and questioning the legitimacy of Debbie's claims. Monet emphasizes their innocence:
"Andy and I did not rip this Tag off of. [...] She owes $163 for this." [17:45]
