Transcript

[A]

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment

[B]

of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12 month plan. Required $15 per month equivalent taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms. My name is Bob Drag Queen and

[A]

I'm Monet X Change.

[B]

And this is Sibling rivalry. On this week's episode, we find out who's too good for Drag Race.

[A]

We talk about our bucket list, and

[B]

we find out what made Monet say this.

[A]

Those dumb people are paying your bills, bitch. How about that? Find out what made Bob say this.

[B]

That's bootleg, everybody. Okay, I can't keep this.

[A]

You can't, can you? Please?

[B]

I can do whatever I want. Let's start with that.

[A]

Well, how about try shutting the fuck up?

[B]

Try that one for the whole podcast.

[A]

The whole time. Honestly. Great. So how you doing, Bob?

[C]

For real?

[A]

Who? Oh, wait. Let's see if I can do it. Can you give me. Give me facial expressions? I'll see if I can guess what your response is about your facial expression. Hey, Roberta, how you doing? Oh, what happened? Shut up.

[B]

In your.

[A]

Your crotch and your breast, man. My breast?

[B]

You're ridiculous. Macaroni x cheese. Welcome back to the United States of America. They said if you left, you would be able to get back in, but here you are.

[A]

Girl, I defied all the odds. Can I have to tell you? So I was just in Barcelona and I'm obsessed with Barcelona. I love Barcelona. Tell me more. Well, I invite so myself dejuan and Tyrone. We went on a. Dude, those are my two best friends from. My best friend from high school, my best friend from college.

[B]

I know I hit on the one. He wasn't interested.

[A]

You say that all the time. How do you know he's not interested?

[B]

It wasn't reciprocated in a way that I could. That I could. That I could. That registered to me.

[A]

I asked dejuan Dewan was like, Bob was hitting on me. He's like, when? So I think you need to up my game wasn't.

[B]

I never claimed to have strong game.

[A]

I didn't say you Did I just said you up it? Cause dejuan had no. Dejuan had no I clue that he was getting hit on by you.

[B]

But dejuan didn't even know he was gay until.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

See?

[A]

And that's exactly why Derek don't like you. That's why Derek don't like you.

[B]

He's not bursting these streets.

[A]

That's why Derek don't like you.

[B]

And that's why Derek don't like you. I went to go see Lady Gaga the other day.

[A]

I saw that. So you went with Tao.

[B]

So that's it right now.

[A]

We were at my home playing Anomia. I think we talked about it on the podcast already. That same night, we're at the game, I tell y', all, Bob does this thing. And everyone who's Bob's friend know he does this thing. He does his fucking thing. It's so irritating to me. Cause it's. It's just unwarranted and just startles everyone. He's. We're at the thing, he picks up his phone and goes, ah. And we're like, what? We're like, bob, what? And he's like. He's not saying anything. We're like, girl, what happened?

[B]

I was shocked.

[A]

He's like, oh, I just got invited to go see Lady Gaga. We're like, but you do it about anything. You could do it about. You can't find your Q tip.

[B]

Or you.

[A]

Like, you do it about. You do it about random shit all the time.

[B]

To be clear, what happened was I spent a lot of money going to see Lady Gaga. And then after I bought the tickets, I got invited to see Lady Gaga for free.

[A]

Oh. Oh, so you. So you had. So. Oh, you had already bought tickets to see Gaga.

[B]

I bought tickets to go see Lady Gaga in San Francisco, and then I got invited to see Lady Gaga at the Kia Forum. And this happened to me the other day when I went to go see fucking Death Becomes Her. I bought tickets and then I got a dm, being like, girl, come see Death become word. And I was like, if I just had a little more patience.

[A]

Oh, what'd you think of Death Becomes Her?

[B]

Very funny. Very, very funny.

[A]

Such a good show.

[B]

I agree. Very good show. I'm obsessed with the one. What's the one who sings the one I like? Jacob, Not Madeline Ash number. The other one.

[A]

Megan Hilty.

[B]

Megan Hilty wasn't in the show when I was there. She was so funny. Her titties are amazing, y'. All.

[A]

I thought it was a boost for queens.

[B]

No, they are her. Attached to her body. Her voice is so strong. If you want attention, that's not her.

[A]

I know, I know, but that's in my head.

[B]

What's the song? That was the song that she's really, like, going like she is like, singing. I mean, she doesn't like the song. She. She saw my life. She made me cuckoo. She said, I spent four years locked in that health spa. He's all, it's such a good show.

[A]

Okay, okay, I. I have. I have a thought. I have a thought. I don't want the tour or. What do you think? I think because how it sits vocally for the. For the soprano playing viola van horn in my register, I think could be fierce as a dragon. What do you think?

[B]

You mean viola van horn? That's. What's the Italian lady's part, right? Vanessa Williams. Vanessa Williams.

[C]

Isabella Rossellini.

[B]

Isabella Rossellini's part.

[C]

And Michelle Williams on.

[B]

And Michelle Williams. Yeah. Can you sing it? If you want perfection, if you want protection.

[A]

Welcome to the Price you did. I have a secret you will die for.

[B]

You know, it's not as impressive, I have to be honest.

[A]

But with the drag.

[B]

The drag is like. You have the drag. I think the drag could add what you're missing from in the vocals, but there is something about a singer singing where you can see the veins popping out of the neck or you can see their head be like, oh, I

[A]

can do that too.

[B]

I could go further. I could go further. I will say, guys, spoiler alert. I'm giving you guys 10 seconds now to. To mute the podcast for a solid 30 seconds. So you do not get the spoiler alert. And I don't want to hear any drama because I gave the spoiler alert. Thank you. At the end when Michelle waves is hiding inside of that fucking statue for the whole last scene.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then it opens. She goes, I have a secret you will die for. No. She goes, don't say I didn't warn you or whatever the fucking line is. I was like, this bitch was in that thing the whole fucking time.

[A]

Not unless they had something that she can come up in. I don't know. I was thinking, I was like, maybe they snuck her on within. We don't see in some way.

[B]

I met Michelle Williams after the show. How she came right up to me, like, in the audience. Yeah. No, I went on stage. I have a friend in the show.

[A]

Oh, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it.

[B]

And then I met the guy who

[A]

used to come to the Shows all the time in drag. Not in drag, but Tortorian Taurine.

[B]

I might be saying his name wrong.

[A]

I think it's Taurean.

[B]

Yeah, But I met the lady who plays opposite Megan Hilty. I met the gay guy who plays Madeline Ash's assistant.

[A]

I'll work.

[B]

And I met Michelle Williams. Michelle Williams walked right up to me and I was like, oh, my God.

[A]

Yeah, So I saw it. I went to go see it once and I did shrooms afterwards. I forgot to do the thing of where I, like, say on, like, say, like, post the thing to hopefully get invited back. Bitch. I was. I was on cloud nine. But it was such a good show.

[B]

They were telling me that I can come back and see Megan Hilton, which I would really love to do.

[A]

She was great. That. That second number in the show, the for the Gays, is one of my favorite things I've ever seen on Broadway. It's so ridiculous.

[B]

Now back to the tiny little pop star.

[A]

Back what?

[B]

To the tiny little pop star?

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Lady Gaga. So she sounded amazing. Lady Gaga is teeny weeny.

[A]

Did you go see it in LA and San Francisco?

[B]

I haven't seen LA yet, but I'm going to.

[A]

Oh, got it.

[C]

By the time this airs. Yes.

[B]

By the time I was there, that's what I've seen in la. Yes.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

She's so tiny. Also, I was by the. So the stage is like. It's typical, say, with a Runway and then like a little bulb at the end of the Runway. And I was sitting there, and then I see this guy who's like, oh, my God, Bob. Who works on the show. And there was two of them. I was like, oh, my God. It was the security guard who used to walk me out every single day for Madonna tour, the security guard did every day. And the camera guy who used to film me at the opening. And I realized, Monet, the. I. I said this back when I was. When I was doing the tour. I'm telling you, it is the same 1,000 people working for every pop star. I'm telling you, they have the same 1000. It's the same dancers, the same choreographers, the same lighting crew, the same security, the same music directors, the same costume designers. They just rotate between, like, 500 dancers, 300 fucking security guards, 50 camera guys, 10 music directors, right? And, you know, seven costume designers. It's like. It's like the Drag Race world, how we're all wearing the same designers, the same people's hair, and then every once in a while, a new one. Makes it in, and an old one kind of fills it up.

[A]

A newbody has entered the villa, but

[B]

these crew members, they go from, like, Pink to Adele to Lady Gaga to Beyonce to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Kiss to.

[C]

To.

[B]

They just bounce around to all of these tour. They never go home.

[A]

I'm Beyonce.

[B]

They just bounce between every single tour. I remember the guys been like, I'm leaving this. Going to. Going to Kelly Clarkson or not Claire Clarkson, Carrie Underwood. I'm going to Pink. I'm going to Gaga. I'm going to Adele.

[C]

Right?

[B]

They are. They're the booked and busy ones, honey.

[A]

I mean, make that money, though, girl. You got to.

[B]

But, yeah, Gaga look great. She was fantastic. She sounded wonderful. She was giving her.

[C]

Her all.

[B]

Um, she was up there giving. She's such a theater kid. She's such a theater kid.

[A]

I can't wait to see. Andy and I, we're going to Seattle to go see it on the 6th.

[B]

Um. Yeah. I mean, I had a lot of fun.

[A]

Um, is. Is Tao a big. Is. Is he a. A little monster?

[B]

Tao used to be a monster. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, so he used to be a little monster?

[B]

I. I don't think he's super into Lady Gaga like he used to be, but I think when he was in his early 20s, he was like a big Lady Gaga fan.

[A]

Got it. Got it. Yeah. I mean, Andy saw it in Coachella, and I heard she's added a few elements from then, and it's, like, really fun.

[B]

So, Jacob, low keys to a little monster. Low key?

[A]

Why is it low key? Are you embarrassed by it?

[B]

No, he wasn't that crazy about it. Like, I think the reason I say low key is because Jacob once left the opportunity to go see Lady Gaga perform on top of the Sona Wall, and I believe a real little monster would have left.

[C]

It wasn't the Stonewall. It was.

[B]

Yeah, it was.

[A]

What?

[C]

The bitter end.

[B]

The bitter end, yeah.

[A]

Jacob, straight.

[B]

Okay. Jacob left. I don't think a real little monster would have left. Even though she was like, hours after said she's going to go. A real little monster would have stayed until the next day.

[A]

Yeah. I kind of feel like a bad control freak, because I didn't. I should. I should have made a video protecting my queen.

[B]

Do you think you know every word to every SZA song? Cause I felt like if you. That's why. I don't know.

[A]

I don't know every word. But, I mean, I know every song. I know all. I know all the ones that didn't make albums. I know all the ones that she did that she did cuts to that never came out to the world. I had a friend who worked at Interscope, and he would send me, which I don't think Sid is under. I think under rca, whatever it is, and they would send me cuts.

[B]

I'm glad you didn't make a video because I don't think the Barbs are. They don't play fair, Monet. They're not like the Swifties and the Beehive and the. And the control freaks or the army.

[A]

Sorry. I want to make clear when I say semi cuts, meaning like, like, like, like they would send me, like, she did a duet with a duet. She did a. She did a verse on the Weeknd's song that Ariana did in. The Weeknd texted to you. The Weeknd texted. Texted it to me.

[B]

That's amazing.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think the Barbs would have came for me really hard, but I was like, I wanted to defend my queen.

[B]

But the Barbs aren't just like, you're ugly. They're like, this is your home address. That's how the Barbs are.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

But what I will say, I think the two most annoying fandoms are probably Swifties and Beehive. They are the two that are the most annoying about their fave. Like, Swifties and Beehive make you not want to like Taylor Swift and Beyonce, even though you love them. But they will do things to be like. They just compare their favorite to your favorite other people for, like, no reason, unprompted. Whereas Barbs are like, this is your home address. I'm at your job. I'm standing outside.

[A]

What are Cardi B's people called again?

[B]

Barty Gang.

[A]

Barty. Yeah. Barbie Gang. Okay.

[B]

Bardi Gang seems pretty chill, to be honest.

[A]

They are pretty chill.

[B]

Yeah, they seem pretty chill. And the truth is, I say I'm an animal, but I'm not truly an animal. I like. I like Keshell a lot, but I feel like to be like one of the people, like, at least a barbarian or a Beehive, you have to, like, know every song. So I think maybe Scissors.

[D]

Scissors.

[B]

The. The. The control freaks are less.

[A]

No, they call them, like, Camp Scissors. They're not control freaks. I say Control. I. To me, control freaks makes the most sense because Control was her second album.

[B]

That sounds like Janet Jackson fans, though.

[A]

Like, whose fans?

[B]

Janet Jackson fans.

[A]

What a Janet Jackson fans called.

[B]

This is. That sounds like a Janet Jackson fan. The control freak sound like a Janet

[A]

Jackson fan because of.

[B]

Because of her.

[A]

Her Control album.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

This is a song about control?

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I think I like, call myself a control freak, but whatever, I guess I'm Camp SZA.

[B]

Camp SZA's a lame name for your group.

[A]

So are bobbleheads.

[B]

No, bobbleheads is iconique. Iconique.

[A]

So why don't you use. Why didn't you use Santa for my queen with me?

[B]

I don't like scissors like that.

[A]

Okay, let's move on.

[B]

Not enough to fight. Not enough to fight a bitch you didn't even like. You don't even like her enough to fight the Barbs.

[A]

I do. I just do have the time.

[B]

Post a video right now. Right now. Make it part of the podcast. Call Nicki Minaj out by name and tag her.

[A]

I did on Kelly Mansell's podcast. So listen to my rant about sizzling and.

[C]

No, no, no.

[B]

Not buried within someone else's stuff. Do it from your social media if you're a control freak. Control.

[A]

Is that the Janet Jackson song again?

[B]

It's Janet Jackson.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

So you want the original pop princess.

[A]

She is. I'd agree with that. No one's who's fighting that.

[B]

That wasn't a fight. Everything. Everything I said is not a fight, Mona.

[A]

Yes, it is.

[B]

The other day, I was.

[A]

What was I doing? I was minding my own gay old business somewhere, and I see Bob is on like 3 o' clock in the morning debating people on TikTok. I was like, go to bed.

[B]

No, What's I talking about?

[A]

You were debating some. You. You were talking to some people on TikTok Live. I was like, if you don't talk

[B]

to me, I was debating. I could just be talking.

[A]

Yeah, that's my point with you. It was not talking. It was a debate.

[B]

You don't know.

[A]

You don't even remember I was listening,

[B]

but you don't even remember what I

[A]

was talking about because I was a little stoned when I listened in.

[B]

This is talking about control. Controlling your substance abuse.

[A]

If I became sober, how would you feel?

[B]

I would support you.

[A]

How would you feel?

[B]

Feel I would support you.

[A]

Even though. Even though you didn't think it was right for me to do it.

[B]

It's not for me to decide if getting service right for you. That is not my decision to make. I am not. I'm not gonna take your inventory.

[A]

As my friend, I want you. I want you to tell me if you think it's right for me.

[B]

That is not how sobriety works.

[A]

And, well, that's how I work.

[B]

Well, that's you have to find another. What do you call it? Codependent friend to tell you what life decisions to make. But in my experience as a sober person, I'm not here to take your inventory. I'm not here to tell you to get sober. But if you dec. You want to get sober, I would support you in every way possible.

[A]

Well, let's take a break and I'll think about it. Maybe I will. When we come back, Control.

[B]

And we're back. Okay, I want to sing Phantom of the Opera for you, and I want you to tell me if it sounds good. Okay? Okay. First you sing it.

[A]

I have no idea how the song even goes.

[C]

Also what part?

[B]

And I'm going to sing Christine's part.

[C]

Like the end part. The really high notes or just the beginning?

[B]

No, not the end part. Are you crazy? Well, that's a valid question. I can't say that. Okay. In sleep, she's in sleep he came to me. In dreams he came. That voice which calls to me and speaks my name. Your spirit and your voice in one combine. The Phantom of the Opera is there inside your mind.

[A]

So I hear you have a study of a broader that's trying to come out. I think you're constantly trying to negotiate having a vibrato, but you're also forcing the vibrato, so making it very inconsistent. I think that overall though, the pitch was better than I thought it was going to be. And the you, you have a presence when you sing.

[B]

I'm going to find the compliments in there and I'm going to roll with it. That's what I'm going to do. I'm gonna find the compliments and I'm going to roll with them. Okay, honey, One of my bucket list items is to be in a Broadway show.

[A]

Bucket list.

[B]

I want to be in a Broadway show in my dream. I want to be in a musical comedy.

[A]

Musical comedy. Okay.

[B]

I don't need to be like Elphaba. I don't need to be fucking Evan Hansen. But like, in my mind, I'd be in like 25th annual Putnam county spelling bee.

[A]

I didn't. I. They're just desk coming back to Broadway. I don't know. I need to look. What? Yeah, I just saw spelling bees coming back up.

[B]

I just saw it off Broadway or on Broadway.

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

I think it's off Broadway. Kevin McHale is in it.

[A]

Yes. That's who posted it. That's what I saw.

[B]

From what?

[A]

From Glee?

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

Here's the one in the wheelchair in Glee.

[B]

Oh, the nerdy one who's not really in a wheelchair?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Is he Leith Coney Bear?

[C]

Let me look.

[B]

But I would like to be in that show. I could see myself in Spamalot. I could see myself in the Drowsy Chaperone. No, it just sounds.

[A]

That's. That's not. It sounds like a comedy. There's not a comedy.

[B]

There are funny moments in it, for sure. I don't know much about the chaperone, but Sutton Foster was in Dragon Chaperone.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

She did the song. I don't wanna show off no more make the gentleman scoff no more I don't wanna bumpy no more. She's an amazing singer, though.

[A]

Son is a great singer.

[B]

And I auditioned for several Broadway shows when I was in New York City. But when I first got there, tour national tours and Broadway shows, I did not make a single one. The closest I ever got was getting a second call in the Radio City Music Christmas Spectacular.

[A]

To play a reindeer.

[B]

No, I was just in the ensemble.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

Like maybe a guard. Maybe like me and this girl from my job went down, audition together. She made it to the last round and she had no acting experience, but they were looking for people under 5 2, and she was 5 1. So her and I walked down the street. We literally walked from Jekyll and Hyde to the. To the. To the rehearsal hall, which I think was at Radio City Music Hall. I think it might have been at Ripley Girl, I can't remember. But we walked down and we auditioned and she. We obviously split up. Cause we were auditioning for two different roles. She was auditioning to be an elf and she made it pretty far, but she didn't make the last round. But I was so proud of her. I was gagged because she was like,

[A]

I don't know what I'm doing. Yeah, that's another musical. I want to say I want to see Elf the Musical, because I like the movie so much.

[B]

Do you want to be in a Broadway show?

[A]

I would love to be in a Broadway show.

[B]

Like, how important is it? I really want to be in one.

[A]

I would really like to be in a Broadway show. I would like to be in the Met. I would like to do a Broadway show.

[B]

Would you call it a bucket list?

[A]

Yeah, for sure. I think as a singer and an actor, I think. I mean, I don't speak for all singer actors, but I think that's a pretty common for singers and actors. Like some of the people who do both, especially to do Broadway, obviously, you can be on Broadway in a play, et cetera. I know, but for me, I can speak from a singer, actor experience. I would love to do a Broadway show.

[B]

You think SZA wants to be in a Broadway show?

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

Oh, my God. When they do the show, you want

[B]

to be in a comedy, you want to be in a serious show?

[A]

I mean, serious or comedies? Both speak to me. I mean, death becomes what I think is great, but I also think something like Fucking Mama's Talking Gypsy is also a great show as well.

[B]

We can cut this out if you need me to, but can we share that? You auditioned for a Broadway show?

[A]

Yeah, girl. We did a whole episode about Broadway. We talked about it, about the Chicago. I never got to audition for it.

[B]

Okay. Oh, I don't know. I don't. You didn't sing it at all?

[A]

I didn't get to sing at all.

[B]

Can you tell me what the experience was?

[A]

Yeah. So Chicago had reached out to me. They were like, hey. Or to my team, and they were like, we want to cast the queen in a role, and we're big fans of Monet. We'd love to come in, but I was doing something else at the time, and the times they were offering me to come, it just did not work out with my schedule. And then we were literally trying to figure find a date for me to do it. And then, like, a month later, Jinx was casting it.

[B]

Do you think they were looking at you both at the same time?

[A]

Probably, I would imagine.

[B]

Oh, my God. Would that have been crazy for you to go up against Jinx again?

[A]

I know, but also. But I think. I think that role is way better suited for Jinx than me. Like, I don't know if. Because of how it sits in the voice, Mama Morton is not a role that would sit well in my voice. I think the role that Taye Diggs. What's that one called?

[B]

Billy Flynn.

[A]

Billy Flynn. I think I could maybe do Billy Flynn way better than I could do Mama.

[B]

Mama, could you give us a little bit of. When you get to Mama?

[A]

How does it go again? What's the key?

[B]

There's a lot of favors I'm prepared to do. You do one for Mama. She'll do one for.

[A]

I want to find out the key. I mean, do they let you. You told me that they don't let you change. No. Did Jinx do it in the original key?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, okay. I mean, they let Wendy Williams do it. So how you doing in the middle of hers?

[B]

But then I Don't understand the key. I think she was just singing poorly. She just went, how you doing? But I think she had to sing in the original key. Just poorly.

[A]

Really. Nene Leakes sang it in the original key.

[B]

The truth is, I can't always discern when a key song has changed keys just from hearing it out of my ear. But from what I understand, in Broadway shows, you have to get a lot of permissions, and it would have to be from. From fucking Kander and Ebb or the Estate to change the key of the song.

[A]

But also. And. But also in those shows where they bring in so many celebrities all the time. I mean, I think in my. I mean, I don't know a lot about Broadway, but my experience, I feel like when I was living in New York City, I was constantly seeing advertisements and, like, hearing that there was a new celebrity in that show. So with all these celebrities doing that, I find it so strange that they don't change the key often.

[B]

Well, slippers can sing.

[A]

I know. But sometimes they will be slippers that don't sing. Like, Nina Leakes is not a singer. Wendell Williams is not a singer.

[B]

Then you can't change the key to make it sound good if you can't sing.

[A]

But there is being lowering it so it's more of a.

[B]

Because is when you get to Mama that high of a song for a woman,

[A]

I don't know how the whole song goes.

[B]

It's not that high. Like, I mean, if it was, like,

[A]

favors I'm prepared to do. When you're good to Mama, Mama's good to you. I mean, I don't know.

[B]

You have to give us a bottle note. So what's the one conclusion? I could bring this number that's too high. Are you going to give it to us?

[A]

No.

[B]

Why?

[A]

I'm not warm.

[B]

You were prepared to do it eight nights a week on Broadway. You won't do it for three seconds on the podcast.

[A]

Yeah, I would warm up every show, though.

[B]

That's. That's. That's. That's. That's bootleg.

[A]

That's why you would occasionally. Because you don't warm up. You just be singing. You just be raw dogging your vocal cords. You got to warm up your chords.

[B]

And what of

[A]

Dr. What's the name? Dr. Naziri would have to see you

[B]

soon when you're good. Ta ba ba. Okay, can you give us any of. When you both reach for the gun. That's not. That's. He's not singing that high.

[A]

I don't even know what that song even is.

[B]

Oh, yes, oh yes. So yes, they both. Oh yes, they both. Oh yes, they both reach for the gun. So how you gonna say you think you'd be better for the role? You don't even know what the song, what the song is.

[A]

Cause I've heard, like, when, like, for example, when Todrick is. Sometimes Todrick has posted this stuff of him singing. So I'm like, oh, that's the world.

[B]

I feel like Billy Flynn is hitting notes as high as Mama Morton. I feel in my head, I don't

[D]

really know which one.

[A]

I will.

[B]

I think that. That Billy Flynn's notes are every bit as high as Mama Morton's because Mama Morton's not singing terribly high. She's. She's. She's low key in alto.

[A]

And I think they were. They wanted. They wanted to. When I was going to go see them because I don't know how this even works. I guess you just. Anyway, they wanted to hear me do Mary. Little Mary Sunshine.

[B]

Mary Sunshine.

[A]

Mary Sunshine.

[B]

Mary Sunshine is in the stratosphere.

[A]

And Mama Morton.

[B]

Mary Sunshine is in the. Like, she. Mary Sunshine is played in drag almost always. And it is. She is singing. She's like a soprano.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

Varla Jean Merman play their role on Broadway, right?

[A]

I didn't know that. I knew that. I remember when I was looking, when I was looking it up, I was like, oh, okay. Varla Jean did it.

[B]

And she used to sing up there. Up there.

[A]

I've never seen Varla Jean live. I would love to go see one of her shows. One of these days I'm gonna tell

[B]

a story that's so true. And it really tickled me pink.

[A]

What?

[B]

And I don't know if I'm spilling Bra Jean's tea, whatever, but Bra Jean, one day we were all backstage in P Town and she was like, well, I just don't. You know, this summer's been a lot better. I don't drink anymore. And then we were like, what? She's like, I don't drink anymore. And then Peaches Christ was like, you had a drink during, during the show? She goes, yeah, well, I have wine on stage, of course, but other than that, I only drink. And then someone's like, well, and that guy handed you a shot you take. Well, if someone hands me a drink, then I drink that, but other than that, I don't drink. And then someone's like, you're drinking right now? And she's like, well, after the show I have a drink. And she was dead ass serious. And she Was like, what do you say? She's like, basically, she's saying, on days I don't work, I don't drink. Well, I don't drink anymore.

[A]

Varla. Varla. Varla is one of those queens, kind of like Ben Lady. It's a whole character.

[B]

Yeah. She's Ethel Merman, and she's like Ethel Merman's daughter or something like that.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

Or something.

[A]

Or the other.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. What's another bucket list idea for you then?

[A]

Bucket list. I think it's on a bucket list, but then I'll be scratching it off, and then I write it back, and then I take a dry erase marker and I take it off. Maybe skydive.

[B]

You don't count that thing you jumped off of?

[A]

No, that was not skydiving, girl. That was like. That was like. That was. That was a free fall connected to a. To a line.

[B]

Well, you. It might be the last fucking thing you ever do, so make it the last thing you do on your bucket list. I don't understand. I don't understand your bucket list, people. So I was talking to someone. I was talking to Tal recently about someone who was, like, trying to, like, rock climb. And you. You practice the. The. The. This specific area of mountain or hill or rock or whatever for, like, a long time. And then you do it without the ropes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

For, like, the thrill. And this one guy went to go do something like that, but he, sight unseen, went to go do the thing, never having practiced it. No ropes off the get, and he fell and died. And I'm like, I don't get that. The most thrill I like is like a scary movie.

[A]

You like roller coasters?

[B]

Yeah, but it's just. Yeah, a roller coaster, scary movie, a haunted house, stuff like that. Nothing where I'm actually probably gonna die. Like, I do not get that thrill. And then they were saying that you can, like, they scan these people's brains and they're. They're missing that part where the brain activates fear. That part is completely dead. Some people. There are people who. That fear part of their brain is completely inactive.

[A]

Sorry, I'm. I'm adding. I'm. I just thought about an idea for anything you can do. I'm adding. So this far, I forget, what is it like, do you want to know is Halloween? Because y'. All. The thing that makes Bob scream is when things appear out of nowhere. So it's literally everything you hate.

[B]

But they always jump, though, so it's not going to get me as much if they're jumping and Going, boo. It doesn't scare me. But if I turn around, you're there. It will make me scream for sure.

[A]

What is this called? Those. Called Halloween. What?

[B]

Jump scare. A haunted house.

[A]

Haunted house.

[B]

I mean, do you feel like there's things that you like? Is there any places you want to see before you die?

[A]

Oh, the Maldives. I would love to go to the Maldives.

[B]

Where's that?

[A]

That's all the way in the. In the. Where is it?

[B]

I don't know. I'm asking you.

[A]

I think it's close to French Polynesia. Let me look it up.

[B]

While you look it up, I will say this. I know something I do want to see, but if I ever get to see it, it will literally be. There's. There's one literally.

[C]

No, it's like, right below India.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

Something. I. What. What's up with the Maldi? Can you tell me what's beautiful about it?

[A]

I mean, it's just very beautiful. It's. You haven't seen, like, videos of people on those bungalows where it's like a room, like on a thing of water and you have, like, your own private thing and you have, like a slide that goes right into the ocean

[B]

kind of. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I think this is very beautiful. And I love. You know, Andy and I were certified in diving, so I would love to. I would love to dive over there. And they have a really beautiful thing with. With very large manta rays. They do, like, a manta ray dive. I would love. You're, like, surrounded by manta rays.

[B]

Is this what kills Steve Irwin?

[A]

No, that was a stingray.

[B]

Oh, can manta rays kill you?

[A]

No. Manta rays are. They don't attack or harm humans or harm anything. I mean, they eat fish.

[B]

Can I tell you that, like,

[A]

again, another ad already? Oh, my God. We're flying to this episode. My God. Let's take a break. And Bob was going to tell us what he's going to say. Oh, my God. No vape.

[B]

Are you.

[A]

Are you getting cured?

[B]

Well, you know that I'm on a no vape journey. You already know that.

[A]

I know. That's what I'm saying. That's good.

[B]

But you know what? I'm not cured from the exciting family reunion happening in Brooklyn. And if you want get tickets, come see me and Monet and hang out with us and party with us and just shoot the shit and sing and enjoy a live podcast. You can go to see the drag queen.com to get your tickets. I really, really, really want to see you all there.

[A]

But what you should go to is mon exchange.com to get your tickets.

[B]

Well, last time we checked, they were not there.

[A]

They were there. Bob and Jacob were lying that they were not.

[B]

We have Monet. You are literally a liar.

[A]

No, you're a liar.

[B]

And your desire to lie is so weird.

[A]

And y' all are lying. Y' all do that shit all the time, and it's annoying. Just like. Just like, just like. And you know, y', all. You know how Bob and Jacob spit in my face again when Bob got that fabric from Gador and made that dress slide to the next picture? They're literally playing with my emotions. And literally.

[B]

That's my ring. I have that ring. Okay, Jacob, next time we see, you'll see the ring. Next time I have it. I have that ring. That is my ring.

[A]

Whose ring is.

[B]

It is mine. Okay, I'll show you next time I see you. Do you want to comment on Monet's lie about this being on the website? Because we have screenshots.

[C]

I mean. No. Currently on her website. When we first looked and had the conversation, it was not.

[A]

And they know.

[C]

They did.

[A]

I'm not doing this. They did the ring, y'. All. I'm not anyway. Continue, Monat.

[B]

Listen, you the people will not be manipulative. Your fans aren't this stupid. I mean, being monation. You are dumb. But they're not that dumb.

[A]

Wow. Y' all heard y'. All.

[B]

You're dumb.

[A]

Yeah, those dumb people are paying your bills, bitch. How about that?

[B]

No bobbleheads pay my bills, honey.

[A]

You make the bobbleheads.

[B]

Is that. Is.

[A]

Is.

[C]

Is.

[A]

Is that. Is that what y' all want? Y' all literally live to work and work to pay this nigga's bills. That's crazy.

[B]

Smart wins.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

The dummies, crazy as the fools.

[A]

You're the toxic.

[B]

The fools.

[A]

Well, you're telling me something. You. You all. What were you saying?

[B]

I do not have any. I don't like traveling. It doesn't speak to me. I don't like going places.

[A]

Literally. Your job.

[B]

I know my job is entertaining, but I have to. I mean, it's easier for me to go to people than it is to get to me. I'm. I'm even fucking. Unless you're, like, famous enough to do a Vegas residency, you know what I mean? Like, even major pop stars travel to see people. Like, I do not like. I don't like going places. When I'm out on the road, I don't go and do stuff. I do not love traveling. I Don't like flying. I don't like airports. I don't like. I like hotels. I like hotels. I will say that.

[A]

What. What about hotels do you like. That's so fierce.

[B]

One of my favorite things about hotels is that the. You can turn all the lights off from the bed.

[A]

You can do that in your home, too.

[B]

I know. We have to set it up. It's already set up by the time I get there. Like, normally most people stand up and go to the wall to turn the light off. That's how my home is. I have to stand up, go to the wall, turn my light off. And I love that. The headboard. Although I don't like that in the hotel, it is always a puzzle. Turning on the lights or the air conditioning or the heater is a. It's like a fucking.

[A]

The Da Vinci Code.

[B]

It's a Tears of. What is it called? That Zelda game? Tears.

[A]

Tears of the Kingdom.

[B]

It's Tears of the Kingdom level. Fucking shrines. Trying to figure out how to fucking turn all the lights off.

[A]

Yeah, you gotta press like, three buttons, like seven buttons and see which one turns off, because then one button will turn off. Just the overhead, one button, turn off the nightlight. But there's one master one. But sometimes they don't put master on it. So you just. Which is probably. It should be the primary notice using master switches.

[B]

Master switch.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Oh, my God. And sometimes that one doesn't control the light above the fridge. And the one in the closet you walk past. It's too much. It's too much. But I like how hotels are set up. I like that there's someone at the front door. I've never lived in a building with a doorman. I've always wanted to live in a building with a doorman. I like there's someone downstairs to collect your things for you if you need them. I like that part of hotels, but I don't like traveling. And I always feel judged when I tell someone I don't like traveling. And they're like, how can you not like traveling? I'm like, I don't like it. In my mind, I feel like, honestly, I've said this before. There are three cities in the world. Three. The one with water, the one with trees, and the one with buildings. And in my mind, most cities fall into one of those three cities, those three categories.

[A]

I mean, trees, they all fall with the tree one.

[B]

The one with buildings.

[C]

What is Barcelona?

[B]

The one with. The one with beaches. One of the water.

[A]

No, Barcelona's buildings, bitch, you Got to travel to go to the beach.

[B]

Well, it depends on where you're staying. Weren't we in Barcelona, Jacob? We were in Madrid.

[C]

We were.

[B]

We were in Barcelona. We were right on the beach. It was beautiful.

[A]

Madrid. Madrid is. Madrid is building.

[B]

We were in Madrid, Jacob.

[C]

No, we were in Barcelona.

[B]

Yeah, Barcelona has beaches. Yeah, you were inland.

[A]

No, it's like. It's like a. It's like a 20 minute thing. Oh, my God. In Barcelona. So I hooked up with this guy. So this is my second time. I have a guy with a. Have you ever hooked up with someone with a Prank Talbert?

[B]

No. No, that's. I have. I have once.

[A]

How big?

[B]

It was pretty big, girl.

[A]

I was. It was this level big on there, and I was like, okay.

[B]

And you put it in your butthole. Yes.

[A]

And I was nervous about.

[B]

And you still have it. I guess he left it with you. Left you a little souvenir. I had a watch.

[A]

It was this big. And I was nervous about the last time the guy. The last guy hooked up with a Prince Alba. It was just. I just sucked his dick. But this guy swallowed his Prince Albert. Yeah, I had his Prince Albert in my throat. I think. I think. I think I might have a little Prince Albert fetish, to be honest.

[B]

Like, something about it tastes like nickel.

[A]

Something about it was thrilling. So this one fucked me, but. And I was nervous. I was like, what if, like, with my anatomy, it gets like caught up in there and try to pull it out? I was so.

[B]

You have to be tight for that to work. You have to be tight for that to happen.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

She already got jokes today.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Okay, Lucy.

[A]

I was nervous about maybe when it's in my anatomy that he put it in there, but it got stuck. It wouldn't come out.

[B]

But.

[A]

But then here is a sick thing.

[B]

Or not a sick thing.

[A]

It's a little thing. I was like, the fact that I was scared about that happening, it was kind of getting me more into. I was kind of like, that's kind of hot, though.

[B]

So maybe. Maybe you have that. That fear thing kind of turn off in your action. No, you. You need that fear thing to have. To have the fear. So maybe, you know, you don't have it. But some people also get turned on by, like, there are things that I like in the bedroom, but they're never actually dangerous. It's never actually dangerous. There's no actual fear.

[A]

Like, give us examples, like choking.

[B]

Like, if you're gonna choke me, that'd be great. But I'm never actually.

[A]

Choke bitch. I will. I will choke and I will take both hands and this nigga is turning purple. And I'm like, yeah, nigga die.

[B]

But also, you see the guys I date, they gonna choke me out.

[A]

They're like,

[B]

where'd Jacob go to?

[A]

Jacob needs his whole forearm to fucking choke you out, girl. Yeah, maybe.

[B]

Maybe Taylor could have choked me out. Maybe.

[A]

I will say. I will say, people who are into the blood fetish kink. How do you get the blood? Is it like. Are you cutting?

[B]

Aren't you Slice. You slice.

[A]

Work.

[B]

Look at you, trying to not be judgmental.

[C]

Work.

[B]

You razor. You use a very sharp razor blade and you slice. You take slices, honey. It's wild.

[A]

Have you ever had someone that wants to do that with you?

[B]

I had someone bring it up, but I. I didn't. I wasn't receptive. I wasn't receptive. So they let it go.

[C]

Work.

[B]

Have you ever tried something in your bucket list and, like, it just didn't work out? Like a bucket list fail.

[A]

No, I mean.

[C]

Or like, you did it and you're like, you know, this was not what

[B]

I thought it was going to be.

[A]

Meth.

[B]

You've never done meth. Don't. Don't play with me. That's not funny, Monet. Don't play games with me.

[A]

That's. That was the same intonation of when. When I. When I was in your old apartment. The cockroach. Monet. Don't play with Monet. That's not funny, Chico. Why would you tell her do that? That was. It was this. It was the same voice.

[B]

I don't like the idea of you saying you're doing meth. That's very upsetting. I don't like that at all. That's not funny.

[A]

No.

[B]

The same invitation you had when I faked having a heart attack. The time with the mustard.

[A]

Wait, did you do that?

[B]

I don't remember mustard. I was like, oh, ow. I said, I think you're having a heart attack. And then Monet was like, what? I was like, girl, I'm just kidding. Monet was like, don't do that.

[A]

That's not funny, girl. Because y'. All.

[B]

Bobby.

[A]

Leaving out.

[B]

First of all, I was like, 27, Bob. You people have drugs. You did. You literally.

[A]

You haven't done them for another year because you did do them.

[B]

I used to huff computer dumpster in my early 20s.

[A]

People have. Young people have heart attacks all the time, girl. That's the thing.

[B]

When I was a healthy 20 something year old.

[A]

No, but y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

Bob used to Mainline Red Bulls. You would have like, four Red Bulls. You would have, like four Red Bulls in a night at the club. So that's actually.

[C]

And.

[A]

And will so very possible. Anyway. And Obama the monster is in this dark basement. The music is so loud, no one can really hear what's going on. If the ambulance had to come, girl, it would just be a. I was like. I was already thinking about it.

[B]

I never thought you would actually think I was having a heart attack.

[A]

Cause you play too much.

[B]

I mean, we. There are some people who. In nightlife who had heart attacks in their 30s and 20s, but they were doing, like, a lot of cocaine.

[A]

Yeah, cocaine. I mean, cocaine's not on my butt. I've never done cocaine. But I just also don't. It's not a bucket list thing because it's not a drug I'm interested in trying.

[B]

You know, there was this alcohol that came out right after I got sober that I wish I could have tried. What, two alcohols? Specifically Four Loko. The original Four Loko. And there's something called Jekyll and Hyde. It was just side by side booze that you mix them together and it would make this more tasty booze. And I had been sober for, like, less than a year. I was like, oh, man, I wish I could have tried this Jekyll and Hyde booze. And I wish I could have had an original Four Loko. But I got sober for before Four Loko. I found out about Four Loko.

[A]

The original Four Loco was. Y'. All. Y' all don't understand. The original 4 loco was crazy. It was a. It was a. That was a wild time to be alive.

[B]

I did the original stacker.

[A]

I don't know what that even is with ephedra.

[B]

It was a fat burner.

[A]

Oh. And what was. What's wrong with ephedra?

[B]

Apparently it's bad for you.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

And I would say I was geeked.

[A]

Like, you were like.

[B]

Like, I was fucked up. So when I used to take Fat Burners back when they used to have ephedra in them, and I was. I was. I remember being at work one day and I was, like, trying to take orders, and my hands were shaking, and I was like, oh, my God, this is crazy.

[A]

You look like the Flash when he's trying to go through something.

[B]

Well, I'm not sure, but yes, seems like it. And I was literally shaking. I was like, I am. I remember being like, I don't think I can do this anymore.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

Cause is a Fedra like a really strong Caffeine derivative.

[B]

I'm not really sure what ephedra is. I just remember it was, like, a big thing, like a phedrophy. Fedra free.

[C]

Yeah, it's, like, adjacent.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Fedra is a genius. Is a genus of gymnasium shrubs.

[B]

Okay, what was that? I'm sorry. Can you run that by me again, please? I'm sorry. One more time, please.

[A]

It's a plant. A fedra is a genus of gymnosperm shrubs.

[B]

Oh, okay. The gymnosperm shrub.

[A]

I really showed a pass. I was like,

[C]

um, it's essentially, it's a stimulant, like caffeine. The idea is that it's supposed to suppress your appetite and increase your metabolism, but it also just, like, gives you really high heart rates and came with a lot of other unfortunate side effects. And I don't think it was actually that effective in weight loss.

[B]

Well, girl, it fucked me up. I was on ephedra for a couple of weeks, maybe a month or two.

[A]

When I first moved, I remember, to

[B]

New York City, I was, I was on ephedra when.

[A]

It was, when I was in college. Those were crazy. Like, you remember. It was like. It was like, hydroxy cut.

[B]

All the hydroxy cut. I took every fat burner there was. When you, when, when you met me, I had some problematic eating. I didn't. I guess I didn't know that we did it together. Juicing.

[A]

But that was also, like, a fad diet everyone was kind of doing.

[B]

It's still problematic, Monet. But do you remember how long I took it that one time?

[A]

How long did you go?

[B]

You're supposed to juice for, like, the weekend. Do you remember that time? I was, I was, like, snapping on people and fainting, Almost fainting. That was problematic eating, Monet. Anorexia.

[A]

It was very that. And then we were. And then we will be so hungry, because, first of all, you on juice, try to do these drag shows, doing splits, comedy, sweating at an athlete where it's really so hungry, who go to the west side Market and buy some fruits and vegetables to choose to juice.

[B]

And I think the longest I ever went was, like, by the way, y', all, I'm not, I'm not glamorizing this. It was bad. It was, it was. It was like I was anorexic. It was like, I think 20 or 21 days.

[A]

Yes, that.

[B]

That is.

[A]

You remember.

[B]

You were there for it, bitch.

[A]

I know. That's crazy. I, I cannot go down.

[B]

You bowed out.

[A]

Yeah, I, I, I could not do 21. That's not.

[B]

I came back and you was eating.

[A]

I could not. No way. I said, oh, no way. Dejuan is.

[B]

I should never have done that. And I had a lot of problematic eating in my, in my early days, girl, I used to do the thing where I would count my calories and work out the calories to burn off the calories. Which is crazy as well, because also

[A]

that's not how science works. Like if you have, if you have a cookie, 500 calories and you burn 500 calories, you're not burning because there are, there are fat calories, different calories that it doesn't like. It's not a one for one ratio.

[B]

That is also an eating disorder, by the way.

[A]

Counting calories, that's.

[B]

No, counting your calories and burning off the exact number of calories you ate. If you, if you like ate a thousand calories and you burn a thousand calories.

[A]

Is that why?

[B]

It just is.

[A]

I don't tell you, I don't understand how that's a problematic.

[B]

Well, because when you need to. I think you have to take in more calories than you burn.

[C]

No, you, you. If you do it so it evens out as zero, then you're just. It's the same as not eating anything. So that is bad. If you're trying to lose weight, you want to be in a calorie deficit, which I think is less calories than you're intaking. Right. And there's a healthy way to do that. And gaining weight is when you are.

[B]

It's called hypergymnasia.

[A]

What is it?

[B]

Anorexia athletica, also referred to as hypergymnasia, is an eating disorder characterized by excessive and compulsive exercise. An athlete with sports anorexia tends to over exercise to give themselves a sense of having control of their body.

[A]

I mean, I work out a lot, but I don't think I'm over at working out.

[B]

I did not accuse you of having hypergymnasia.

[A]

I know, just, we're just a podcast where we're just discussing things. Do you mind?

[B]

I had hypergymnasia.

[A]

So you would work out exact amount of calories that you ate all day or more.

[B]

So I would, I would count like 1500 calories and then I would burn a little bit.

[A]

You were as an adult surviving on

[B]

1500 calories and then I would burn 2, 500.

[A]

You were surviving as an adult 1500 calories a day?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

That's wild.

[B]

There were days when I was survive off of 600 calories a day.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

I just told you I had an eating disorder.

[A]

I hate when you say words and you. You. You. You pause your mouth in the last way you said it. It really trips me out. Like, why?

[B]

Well, I have a couple of notes for you as well.

[A]

Wait, what? How old were you when this happened?

[B]

Geez Louise. Probably up to, like, 27.

[A]

Wow. Yeah, that was around. That was. That's when you did. We did the juicing.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And the. And the. And the fat burners were like, late teens to 23. But then once they took the ephedra out, I was like, well, I stopped and then took the fedrail out, and then I went back. I used to take this one called Lipo 6.

[A]

I remember that one. Yeah. I was on Hydroxycut. I was in college in the dorm, and I brought them to the dorm with me. And then Duan was like, what's that thing you take every day? I was like, it's Hydroxica.

[B]

Blah, blah, blah.

[A]

So dejuan went to get it, and dejuan was like, kevin, I don't know about this stuff. And I was like, no, it's good. It helps.

[C]

Whatever.

[A]

And then dejuan did this crazy deep dive on Hydroxycut. At one time in my dorm, at my computer, working on an assignment, dejuan busts through my door. He slam. This is trill story, by the way. Slams the paper on my desk with, like, why? Hydroxy cutters. He's like, kevin, read him and weep. Then he just grabs my bottle of Hydroxycut and just flushes it down the toilet.

[B]

He said, I need them. I need them to dance.

[A]

Literally.

[B]

I'm so excited. I'm so.

[A]

And I was like, bitch, that's $45. Give me $45 back. But. So maybe. Maybe Dejuan saved my life.

[B]

Maybe. Maybe. But, yeah, I don't do that stuff anymore. But I did. I certainly did. We're gonna add a trigger warning to the top of this episode, aren't we?

[A]

Have you. Have you read or heard of Jennette McCurdy's book, I'm glad My Mom Died?

[B]

No. Yeah, I heard of yes.

[A]

It's a great book. And she said her mother was fucking awful. So toxic. Her mother taught her how to have an eating disorder. Her mother did all. It's crazy.

[B]

You know, I'm not glad my mom died. I can't relate to you, Jennette McCurdy. But I am sorry that you had that relationship with your mother. That sounds very upsetting. Truly.

[A]

It's a good Book. I had Matt Rogers on the podcast today, and I'm kind of obsessed with Matt Rogers.

[B]

Tell me more, Tell me more.

[A]

He's just really funny. He's really dope. I didn't know how Last Culture says became a thing. And it was so interesting to hear that whole story. I'm not. Sorry. Not the award show, how that all, like, happened. It was just really cool. And he's just a great guy. I really, really enjoy him.

[B]

Did you bring up us beating him at the GLAAD Awards?

[A]

I did not bring that up.

[B]

Wow, you were scared.

[A]

No, girl. Because I felt embarrassed. I'm like, yeah, we beat them. But look who's. Look who's winning now they have a show on Bravo. We talk about. We gotta.

[B]

Did you see the clip of them at the award of the red carpet? And then Jamie Lee Curse turns around and she's like, you guys are up here. You need to bring her way down.

[A]

No, I didn't see that.

[B]

And they were like, well, honey, we're gonna sit you in the back. Cause you're not gonna like the show. I don't think she knew they were hosting the show.

[A]

Oh, oh, she wasn't doing a bitch. She was being dead ass.

[B]

It seemed like it. So they were like, behind her, they were talking. You know how red carpets, all these. All these things going on. And she's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys are all the way up here. I need you to bring it, like, down to here.

[A]

She had to. How is she attending the show?

[B]

He found the clip.

[A]

How is she attending the show? And she don't know who the hosts are.

[B]

Girl, you go to stuff. You never went somewhere. You didn't know what was going on. You just got invited, girl. She's on a press tour. She's trying to promote Freakier Friday.

[A]

That's hilarious.

[B]

You think Ryan Carey listens to Los Culturistas all the time?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Okay, Monet, you never went on broadcast. You don't listen to. No, you are a lion piece of shit.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Why? The lies you tell at some point have to stop, Monet.

[A]

Why have to be a piece of shit is crazy.

[B]

Well, you're lying.

[A]

You don't have.

[B]

You don't have to be a lion piece of shit. You can just tell the truth.

[A]

Hold on, let me watch this clip. Hold on really quick. Oh, she. Oh, she was dead ass. Jamie Lee Curtis was dead ass. Cause at first she was dead ass. You could tell on her face she was dead ass serious. And then. And because Bowen says, well, you're gonna hate the show then. That wasn't.

[B]

And we're gonna put you in the back.

[A]

I'm dead. That's hilarious.

[B]

Isn't that crazy to be at someone show up like. Well, now, even if they weren't, even if it wasn't their show, like, girl, this is the red card where you post to show your personality.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Do you know Jamie Lee Curtis is the Nepo baby?

[A]

I found that out the other day, and I had. I gagged. I had no idea who her parents were. Her dad was.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Nepo baby.

[A]

Yeah. There are a lot of secret Nepo babies. I'm like, oh, shit. I had no idea. Um, did you. So. So. So now. So when we do the slammies, we're gonna. We're gonna. We.

[B]

We.

[A]

I'm sorry, we.

[B]

What's going on here?

[A]

Yeah, Jennifer Lewis.

[B]

We're doing the slammies.

[A]

Every time she had her. Her clips of her doing anything, sometimes I'm like, this story is so funny. It has to be made up. Or so insightful, like.

[B]

It's just like, what my favorite Jennifer Lewis. Or she goes, I was driving with my man through the. And I said, there's a tree. It only blooms once a year. It's the chrysanthemum aluminum tree. And I looked at him, I said, oh, man, look at that tree. Isn't it beautiful? He looked at me and said, you say that about every tree. And I just said to myself, well, this nigga gotta go.

[A]

Like. I'm like, what? But the thing that makes her story so compelling is that she's telling the story, but then she breaks away to address the other people in the room about something so mundane. She's like, Cause that's the type of motherfucker I am.

[B]

I look at trees. You ever seen a tree? Oh, my God. You should go back and do Jennifer Lewis on Snatch Game. I mean, there's no reason for you to go back on Drag Race. I didn't go back. Girl, you're too good for Drag Race now.

[A]

Oh, God. Don't rub me to your bullshit, Lynette.

[B]

You're too good for Drag Race. You'll never go back.

[A]

I am not.

[B]

Say it out loud.

[A]

I am not going to compete on Drag Race. No?

[B]

And why is that?

[A]

Because I've done it three times. I'm good.

[B]

So you're too good for it now?

[A]

I'm good.

[C]

What about you? Would you.

[B]

I'm too good for it. I'm too good for it. Unless my career goes south and I become no longer too good.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

I will say this, though. It did the bestie thing and it was just like a one off, like one episode thing for a charity thing. I think that would be fun. Like you, me and Trixie and Katya, Gottmika. Like, I think that could be fun, but not to compete and be like, I'm here for 12 weeks giving up all my devices and can't talk to anyone so I can win money on the show.

[B]

No, I would make an appearance again, for sure. I would love to make an appearance. I would love to do. I've said it a thousand times. I would love to do a workroom walkthrough.

[A]

Yeah,

[B]

would love it. Would love it, dear. But if you did go back, which we all know you will, you should do Jennifer Lewis.

[A]

Oh, thank you, Bob.

[B]

Can you say her name like Jennifer Lewis? I don't know.

[A]

How did she say her name?

[B]

Jennifer Lewis.

[A]

Didn't Shangela do it? Shangela did it already.

[B]

Ok. People repeat characters, so now no one else can do it.

[A]

Have people repeat characters.

[B]

Monat, don't play in my face.

[A]

I really can't.

[B]

Remember, has anyone ever repeated a character on Snatch Game?

[A]

Who?

[B]

That's a genuine question you're asking.

[A]

Who?

[C]

Chi Chi Devane did Maya Angelou right after you did oh, remember? She's like, why does the caged bird sing? And Chi Chi was like, I don't know.

[B]

We've had several Liza Minnellis on different franchises, though.

[A]

We've had several Dolly Partons on different franchises, though.

[B]

We've had several. We've had, I think, more than one Lady Bunny, I think. Or maybe I made that part up.

[A]

No, just Alaska.

[B]

Just Alaska Lady Bunny.

[A]

Yeah. So you're trying to give me all these things that you can't even give me. You can't give me one yet.

[B]

We've had multiple Beyonce's. Kenya Michaels was Beyonce. And Trinity K. Bonet was Beyonce.

[A]

Okay, you ate that. You. You. That was valid. Valid Val as fuck. Why? Why? Why are you such a good mood today?

[B]

I don't like when you ask me that question. Because it feels like you're trying to get me out of a good mood. It feels like a setup to see if you can get me out of my good mood. That's what it feels like. Monet called me and she asked me something. I was like, okay, that sounds good. She goes, why are you being so agreeable? Y'?

[A]

All. Y', all, I.

[B]

Why the fuck are you being so agreeable?

[A]

I called his boy, first of all. I answered the phone. There was no Extra craziness. There was no. There was no being out of control. Baba just answered the phone. He', hey, Monet, how are you doing? And I was like, yeah, that sounds good to me. And I was like, so at first I was like, okay. And then I was like, maybe we can do the thing. He's like, yep, that sounds. Yeah, I'm into that. That sounds good. I was like, wait a minute. I was like, why are you being so amenable to everything? You're like, monet, goodbye. And I was like, you're just being.

[B]

You're just being.

[A]

You're not.

[B]

Why are you in a good mood? It's a crazy question. And, and, and it's a. It's a good way to shift it. You swerve. Sort of like. Sort of like you press a little button. Don't let's sit back, Joe.

[A]

Do not. I do not ever. This is a scissor.

[B]

That's your queen from your town. That's our queen from your town. The brat would never do that.

[A]

I'm not from Queens. I'm not from Queens.

[B]

First of all, Atlanta has a lot of great. Let me google all the famous people from Atlanta.

[A]

I mean, you can do it. Let's just be very clear.

[B]

We don't want to talk about the duds from New York City.

[A]

There's duds in comparison to New York City. Let's just unequivocally, it will pale in comparison. So don't even do it to yourself. To New York City. Don't even do it.

[B]

Oh, my God. We have. Oh.

Now, some of these people, I don't want to claim, but they're still very famous. Some of these people I don't want to claim, but they're still very famous. First of all, we have one that you can literally not even even crack your lips to ever say anything about.
