Bob the Drag Queen
My name is Bob the Drag Queen
Monet X Change
and I'm Monet X Change and this is simply rivalry.
Bob the Drag Queen
On today's episode, we welcome our favorite dog to the podcast.
Monet X Change
We watch and react to the pilot episode of Sibling Rivalry.
Bob the Drag Queen
And we found out what made Monet say this.
Monet X Change
That's. What do you mean, Bob? And we find out what made Bob say this.
Bob the Drag Queen
If the point is to be a little kinky, then I don't see what the problem is. And we find out what made Jacob say this.
Jacob
It's also seven years later. How's Swahili going?
Bob the Drag Queen
We should hop right in today. Cause we. This is gonna be. I don't even know how we're gonna do this. Cause it's an hour. We're talking.
Jacob
No, no, the pilot's only 30 minutes.
Monet X Change
Yeah, that's like a stomach.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't like our Podcast, not you. I would give you a shout out. You never have a patch of hair. You didn't shave. I have a strip on the side of my head. You do that. I missed. You never have a missing patch. Honestly, it is very impressive.
G
Thank you.
Monet X Change
It's just someone.
Bob the Drag Queen
Even when you lived alone, you didn't have missing patches.
Monet X Change
I still shave by myself.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't have anyone. Be like, check me out. You never give, like, can you give me a once over?
Monet X Change
No. I do it in the front and the side. I also have a three pan mirror so I can do that. And then I take my hand mirror and I put my back to where I can see the whole thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have the mirror I'm facing. I face the mirror and then I turn around with a hand mirror and then I try to hit spot. I'm sitting on the sink.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Leaning. But my lights are like above the sink. So it gets shadowy. The closer you get to the mirror, the more the darker it gets. My skin is dark, my hair is dark. So I just. I just. I'm constantly missing chunks.
Monet X Change
So there's my little strip. Your little soul patch.
Bob the Drag Queen
But maybe that's like a look I want to go for.
Monet X Change
Interesting. I want to give you a shout out.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
Thank you for having such lovely snacks and stuff here. But your cans of Red Bull are too big. 20 ounces is a lot.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not a shout out. That's a criticism. You see how I didn't go.
Monet X Change
It was a sandwich critique.
Bob the Drag Queen
You see how I didn't say you never have missing strips. But to be fair, I have more hair than you. I didn't do that. I just said you never have missing strips of hair. I just left it at that. I thought it. I thought it. I didn't say it.
Monet X Change
But that's all critique. I'm like, I feel like you could help yourself out and make your money go longer.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I like the big can.
Monet X Change
The whole big can.
Bob the Drag Queen
I drink two a day.
Monet X Change
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
You have never seen me on stage. If you've ever seen me on stage, I had at least 20 ounces of Red Bull in my system, in my stomach.
Monet X Change
You.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think any of you have ever seen me on stage without 20, at minimum, 20 ounces of Red Bull in my body.
Monet X Change
Although one time in KCMO when it was. It was Red Bull on a little something extra. I'll never forget that day. That was crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm still not convinced you didn't set me up. Shout out to anyone wearing shoes that your best friend ripped in half.
Monet X Change
How did I set you up?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. I just believe anywhere. The Celsius cans are gigantic.
Monet X Change
But I think. But how many ounces are in that cane?
G
16.
Bob the Drag Queen
16?
Monet X Change
That's still less than the Red Bull. The Red Bull, yeah. It's the big one is 20 ounces. I just read it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really?
Monet X Change
Yeah. It's 24 ounces.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hey, rebel can is so big.
Monet X Change
That's what I'm saying.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monsters are. It's a. It's a gallon of liquid.
Monet X Change
Yeah, you should not be drinking monster like that. That's not great.
Bob the Drag Queen
Today we're going to be watching and reacting to season one, episode one of the illustrious podcast.
Monet X Change
The pilot episode, it had 155,000 views seven years ago.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is the longest running R Girl podcast. We have more episodes than what's the Tea? We have more episodes than Race Chaser. We have more episodes than Bald and the Beautiful. We have been the. We are the last one standing.
Monet X Change
We're not the last one standing. We're the. We were the first one standing.
Bob the Drag Queen
The first one standing. We're still. We've been standing the longest.
Monet X Change
There we go.
Bob the Drag Queen
We have been standing the longest.
Monet X Change
Wait, before we go.
Bob the Drag Queen
Rosalon. One does two a week.
Monet X Change
No, it doesn't. They do hot goss and they do the thing. They do two. They do two a week.
Bob the Drag Queen
They want to be us so bad.
Monet X Change
I think. To be fair, I think they started doing two.
Jacob
I think they actually might have.
Monet X Change
All right,
G
all right.
Monet X Change
I want to do more. I need to do my violent episode.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, you do.
Monet X Change
But she's so mean.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm afraid she is. You set me up with her. No, we agreed on this.
Monet X Change
We agree to be the mean one,
Bob the Drag Queen
the nice one, the mean one and the nice one. We. We all agreed on this. That we. We're gonna put two mean girls. What do. Me and Bob are gonna do? Yell at each other again?
Monet X Change
So Bob and I'm gonna watch the first episode. If you are new here. Bob edited the sound on this. Who did the audio? I mean, who did the.
G
The video?
Bob the Drag Queen
Mitch.
Monet X Change
Mitch edited the video.
Bob the Drag Queen
So for the first year, we released 13 podcasts. Our first year, we're averaging a little over once a month. I was doing. I was living in Berkeley, California. Marne was living in the Bronx, and I edited all the audio myself. So if you. But back then, notice how you guys never called me out for my snorting. I edited out every snort.
G
Land.
Bob the Drag Queen
Land, if you're listening. But you guys didn't hear anything. Cause Land edited out.
Monet X Change
You're so really good. Anyways, we're gonna watch this episode. Wait, do we need to do.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do anything for audio or anything? Edit Video edited by Mitch Feno.
G
Our. Our.
Bob the Drag Queen
Our theme song. Original theme song is by Mitcho.
Monet X Change
The new one is by Mitch Feno. Didn't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Didn't they remix it?
Monet X Change
Mix. Mix. Mitch remix.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, Mitch remixed it Work. So our theme song is by DJ Mitch Feno from New York City, which
Monet X Change
also did Pulverize my Nuts.
Bob the Drag Queen
Please pulverize my nuts. Mitch is not a lot of Mitch. Mitch did purse first. Mitch did Bloodbath. Mitch. Mitch has done a bloodbath back.
Monet X Change
How many times do I have to ask you?
Bob the Drag Queen
Mitch did clatt.
Monet X Change
I'm a fan of yours.
Bob the Drag Queen
The song.
Monet X Change
The onk song. I've asked for years. And you will.
G
You want.
Monet X Change
Oh, you won't. I'm your fan. Do I not get a voice?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, of course you get a voice. Bloodbath was a lot of work and
Monet X Change
you can do a lot of work.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I feel like I was like, I was really positioned as a. As a nightlife producer in New York City. I produced a lot of events. I have never produced a nightlife event
Monet X Change
in la, but you have the resources to do a really fun party in la. If this is no shade.
Bob the Drag Queen
This sounds like shade. Like if what? Please continue.
Monet X Change
No, because you're already doing too much.
G
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can't do this to the fans.
Monet X Change
Can you not be bomb about it and just be ridiculous? You know, if, like, the Bolay brothers can do their Halloween party and they're amazing, you can do it too. You're amazing. God.
Bob the Drag Queen
Season 1 Episode 1 lesson hit it. Oh, yes, I remember that. O. The song is so different.
Monet X Change
So different. Oh, wow. Oh my God, that picture.
Bob the Drag Queen
Me, Me and Monet.
Monet X Change
Oh my God, I remember that. This is. This is your number. Give to you a show. Lipstick.
Bob the Drag Queen
That was my dress. That ugly dress that you all hated it that I never thought was ugly.
Monet X Change
Hideous.
G
Are you ready? Uh huh.
Monet X Change
Okay, pause really quick. This. This, this edited sound.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, this has a lot to do with where Monet was. Was recording in. In a shipping container. So just so you guys know what. What happened was like a lot of our friendship. To be fair, at the time my company was producing the podcast, but exactly.
Monet X Change
It was literally a box.
Bob the Drag Queen
I bought Monet the camera. I bought Monet the microphone. I bought Monet the green screen. I got Monet the headphones. You were wearing matching headphones. And Monet just showed up.
Monet X Change
Okay. So. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, let's.
Monet X Change
Oh, I remember this. So then I Was like, oh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause I had.
Monet X Change
I was doing music as well, so I had nice headphones. And I was like, well, I have some headphones. Bob was like, no, Monet, we have to have the same ones.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was like, I don't think I
Monet X Change
have to do the same. He's like, monet, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was like a.
Monet X Change
It was like probably an hour long argument about why we have to have the same headphones.
Bob the Drag Queen
The quote's wrong. Otherwise I would. Because if it was me, I would have said Monet. So I already know you're misquoting me.
Monet X Change
Bob was adamant that we had to have the same. I was like, okay, girl. So. And like, he said Bob the Dragon was produ. Like, it was a Bob the Dragon production. So I was like, okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was the only production.
Monet X Change
Sorry. The only production. So I was like, bitch, so send me the stuff that you want me as a producer. So don't try to act like you are doing me a favor.
G
You are producing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't do a favor. To be clear, the first year, we made not a dollar.
Monet X Change
And we didn't know that going in.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not a dollar. I spent a lot of effort, money, and time making your career flourish.
Monet X Change
Anyway, continue on.
Bob the Drag Queen
I look great.
Monet X Change
Okay, pause. Sorry.
G
Why?
Monet X Change
Why weren't you in drag? Lazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not lazy.
G
Why not?
Bob the Drag Queen
First of all, you were coming for you. First of all, to be clear, you did not get in drag.
Monet X Change
I did get in drag for this podcast. I did.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you did not.
Monet X Change
I got in drag for this.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're probably about to say, I just came from. You probably about to say, I'm headed to where I just came from.
Monet X Change
I did not say, let's wake it up.
Jacob
Why are neither of you in drag right now?
Bob the Drag Queen
Wake it up. Lazy. Lazy.
Monet X Change
Listen, RuPaul said we're all born. This is my drag today.
Bob the Drag Queen
Play the motherfucking video.
G
Sibling rivalry.
Monet X Change
And his father, drag queen.
Jacob
Why am I rolling my eyes?
G
Why are you rolling your eyes already? Because you are so extra. I can't. This has been a process, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait. This audio is crazy awful.
G
Siblings work together. It feels like it's quite the process today. We have a lot to talk about. First of all, why you're in drag. Because I was recording some stuff for my YouTube channel, and instead of d
Monet X Change
dragging, I do all that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Pause the video. The lies that this literally off. How many minutes are we in, Jacob?
Jacob
1 minute and 13 seconds.
Bob the Drag Queen
You. What's wrong with you? Is it your memory or do you try to lie? It is my memory. I thought I got Cause you know, my memory is immaculate. You know this. I don't know why you try to play me.
G
And I was like.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I bet I asked you in the motherfucking episode, keep playing it
G
myself before I do the next thing. So I wanted to just stay dry so that I wouldn't eat up any more of your time.
Monet X Change
See, consider it.
G
You are showering well. It's the smallest accomplishment. You're like, I shower well to you because you don't do it often. You don't get it. But for us, we do it right. I shower once a month whether I need it or not. I usually don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait for it. Really quick.
Monet X Change
I love you a little high. Your little high pitch cackle. You don't do it anymore.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, I still laugh like that sometime.
Monet X Change
It's very rare. You used to do it very often before.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't make me like. You used to be funny.
Monet X Change
You see so much vitriol. I know I'm very hood girl.
G
Well, that's the thing. Before we decided to do this Skype thing of the hair, I'm gonna just. My goal was to lie to you every time about what I was wearing. Like moon, what are you wearing? Just some shorts and a snuggies. And I'm gonna lie to you every time until you see this video.
Bob the Drag Queen
Known liar.
G
If you say shorts and snug, it doesn't mean you're not in drag. Some snuggies, some wore out toes.
Monet X Change
That's so mean, Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's true. Wait, pause it. So when they used to wear these at Toms. When I say toe hanging out the side.
Monet X Change
Side. I was a queen on a budget.
Bob the Drag Queen
When I say. And monetizen. Like when I say this. But they.
Monet X Change
They what?
Bob the Drag Queen
They was hitting the lean back.
Monet X Change
My feet are. Yes, my feet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Deformed is the word you're looking for.
Monet X Change
That's what my feet are structured. Also. I would not perform. Let's be very clear. I would not perform in these. But I would. That was my traveling shoes. To, to and from my gigs.
Bob the Drag Queen
I gotta say this audio is. Wait, can you. Jacob, real quick pull it up on Spotify at some point. Cause I feel like. Because Mitch edited the video and I feel like when I edited the audio, it didn't sound quite like this.
Monet X Change
It's really.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Mitch might be. I don't think either. We didn't send Mitch the audio and Mitch is using the audio from our. The microphones from the camera. But I feel like the first episode didn't sound like this.
G
Well, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wow.
Monet X Change
We really. This.
G
I love.
Monet X Change
Look at you. Wait, did you put the green skin in yourself as well?
G
Oh.
Jacob
So the other issue is that this isn't. This episode isn't on Spotify.
Bob the Drag Queen
Really?
Jacob
Yeah, Spotify. Our first one is. I don't like hugs.
Bob the Drag Queen
What number is it? Does it have a number next to it?
Jacob
No, but the Spotify one. Let's see.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, that might be the pilot episode. Oh, maybe.
Jacob
Let's find out.
Bob the Drag Queen
We'll just skip into it a little bit and play it a little bit, because I feel like it's gonna sound
Monet X Change
a little bit better.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just play it from your phone. It's fine. I just want to hear how it sounds. But, yeah, we both had a green screen, so I was just looking up the anchor app. Have you heard about this?
G
I've heard of it.
Bob the Drag Queen
So no, it did sound. It did sound better.
Monet X Change
Yeah. We had. As the first episode. No.
Jacob
After we got the anchor sponsorship, they went back in and put it in.
Monet X Change
Oh, wow.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Shout out to our former Starburns.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
RIP Starburns. For the longest time, I was trying to follow hair advice that just wasn't meant for me because I have hair now. Clear it up. I'm talking about trying to treat my hair like it was a completely different texture, using products that were way too heavy or worse, full of harsh chemicals that just sat on top of my head. You know that feeling when you're following a one size fits all routine and your hair is still dry, breaking and just sad? It is frustrating. You feel like something is wrong with you, but really, the products just aren't speaking your language. When I finally found a routine that actually addressed my specific needs, it was a total aha moment. If you're stuck using methods that don't give you results, my advice is stop forcing it. Your hair needs ingredients that actually respect its texture. That is exactly why I've been loving Basque and lather. They create products specifically for textured hair needs. Baby, my hair has texture. I've been using their stimulating scalp and hair balm in. The difference in strength is real. It's 100% naturally made for curly or kinky hair to help reduce breakage and add that shine we're all looking for. What I love most about it is that it actually penetrates the hair strands without clogging your pores. No petroleum, no Lenolin, and absolutely no greasy residue. I'm also obsessed with our hydrating hair mist. I get aloe vera and avocado oil, which is a lifesaver for reducing frizz and detangling. It is perfect if you're rocking, you know, protective styles like locs, twists or braids. I don't. I'm not that far in my hair journey yet. But who know knows. Stick around. I'll see you next year. I'm planning on trying their hair oils next because honestly, the results I've been seeing on their website are wild. And if you go to their site and look at the before and after shots, you'll see people who literally grew their hair back from nothing. And the story behind the brand is incredible. Is a black owned and family operated company. When a dermatologist told CEO Shania's sister her hair might never grow back, the family took matters into their own hands. Researched her own formulas and now her sister's hair is down to her head hips. That's the kind of energy I want in my cabinet.

Why have I asked my electrician I found on Angie.com to bury my pet hamster Nibbles in our yard for me? Because I was so moved by how carefully he buried my electrical wires, I knew I could trust him to bury my sweet Nibbles after his untimely end.
Bob the Drag Queen
Huh?
Monet X Change
Nibbles gone too soon. May he scurry in peace. Hey, sorry about your pet, but I just wire stuff. Nibbles would have loved you like a brother.

Bob the Drag Queen
okay, all right, Keep playing.
G
Because Monet and I argue all the time about everything. Like everything. I. I never had someone that was such good friends with that I disagree on so much.
Monet X Change
And that is false.
G
Just argue about just like trivial stuff. Like the other day when we were doing our little practice episode. You literally argue with me about whether I want to do this. I'm like, of course I want to do this. It was like a three hour argument.
Monet X Change
This is so bomb.
G
Everyone at home understand why I was arguing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Clear it up.
G
I am sitting in my apartment with a yeti microphone, okay? I have a very, a very expensive camera with lights above. And Monet is sitting in her apartment with a ring light, an iPhone.
Monet X Change
My arm. My arm.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, pause it. By the way, when I say crew Jacob is there. It's literally just Jacob.
Monet X Change
Stunning.
Bob the Drag Queen
Me and Jacob have been dating for like one month. Yeah, that was like brand new dating gaggy. That picture, my phone you were asking about, you're like, what is this picture from? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Monet X Change
When he was Berkeley.
Bob the Drag Queen
This picture of Jacob.
Monet X Change
Yeah, when Jacob was in Berkeley.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a picture years ago, Jacob and I were walking down the streets in Berkeley and we. It was Red nose day at Walgreens, where you donate money to something, some cancer and you buy red nose Adams. What?
Monet X Change
Robin Williams. He, when he, he, when he played the doctor. It's an iconic picture of him with
G
the red nose on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, is that from, Is that what the red nose day is about?
Monet X Change
I, I, he was playing. He was a, a doctor with kids with cancer.
Bob the Drag Queen
He tells what red nose day raising money for. But I have a picture of Jacob on my phone. It's, it's my contact photo for Jacob. It's him with a, with a red nose.
Jacob
It's for ending children. Child poverty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Poverty.
Monet X Change
Poverty.
Jacob
Oh, child poverty.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
G
So.
Monet X Change
And I want to say using a ring light and my iPhones have great cameras.
Bob the Drag Queen
Clearly, I look better than you. I don't think you look, you look, you look like, you look like Zendaya.
Monet X Change
But I think it was winter.
Bob the Drag Queen
I am the color.
Monet X Change
I am. But I'm also.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're the color. Naomi is.
Monet X Change
No, I think in drag. It's also.
Bob the Drag Queen
Your skin color doesn't change in drag.
Monet X Change
It doesn't. But I think sometimes with highlights and stuff, it can, you can look a
Bob the Drag Queen
little lighter, especially when there's a giant ring light with white on it, no yellow at all, blasting in your face.
Monet X Change
I think I look good.
Bob the Drag Queen
You look. You look beautiful. The lighting's not great, but you do look very beautiful.
Monet X Change
Okay, play.
G
Also, your camera is 1500. I have an iPhone X which is 1300. There's literally a 200 difference. My phone records in 4K quality and in some cases 8K quality. With your little crunchy ass camera, can you. So we. My camera. Okay. I think I lied to you. How about Mitch, we have Mitch, who's our producer here. Mitch, do you know how much our cameras were? I can't remember,
Bob the Drag Queen
But it's a phone.
Monet X Change
It's still a great phone. Lady Gaga shot a movie on her phone.
Bob the Drag Queen
Pause lady. Gotta shot a movie.
Monet X Change
Sorry. A stupid love a music video.
Bob the Drag Queen
Stupid website on a phone on iPhone. IPhone.
Jacob
It was like a Apple partnership.
G
Stupid.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is a great video. All right. It's a great video.
Monet X Change
Thank you.
G
Black people are like, appropriate, like, African culture.
Monet X Change
Wait, what?
G
Wearing African stuff when they're not present. Okay, I don't. Appropriate, like, African. I have a lot to talk about. 1300. But it's a nice. It's a very nice camera. Anyway, that's not the point. We have a lot. We have a lot to talk about today. We do. How do you feel about people saying that black people are, like, appropriate, like, African culture by wearing African stuff when they're not. Okay, I don't. I don't With. Okay, I don't even with the whole idea of appropriating of black people. Appropriate African culture. African American. Black Americans. First of all, we have a very young culture. Our culture is less than. It's a little bit less than 160 years old. Black folks haven't even been free as long as they were. As long as they were slaves. You wouldn't even live long enough for blacks to be free as long as we were slaves. That'll be. That's another almost 100.
Bob the Drag Queen
My arm being cut off a cinnamon.
G
So we have the connection, but we don't really know where we came from. In Afghan. We could take a. What's that, 23andMe swap inside your mouth and they can give you a general.
Monet X Change
You are just all over my space.
G
Oh, by the way, apparently I'm 1/4 Chinese. I'm also from Rwanda. I'm like, you are white.
Monet X Change
Are you wearing a peppermint shirt?
G
We have a strong connection to our heritage, so sometimes we pick places in Africa that we feel that we can connect to. Honestly.
Bob the Drag Queen
Pause it. Since episode one Monday's not listening. I am listening. Since episode one Monday, you're not listening to me.
Monet X Change
I can't drink some water the way you were doing.
Bob the Drag Queen
You weren't listening. What'd I just say?
Jacob
Can you describe how she was doing it to her audio?
Bob the Drag Queen
She's like, oh, they don't see what
Jacob
we're looking at for audio people.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, she's like holding. It's like a can of Canada Dry and she.
Monet X Change
Orange.
Bob the Drag Queen
Orange. And she puts it to her mouth and she. She wraps her lips, like, really pursed, and she's like swaying left and right and like, batting her eyes. What did I just say then?
Monet X Change
If you said that black people are not going to live. We are not going to live in love enough longer to be free as we were slaves. And you're saying that people do the. Which you. Which is unsanitary. Use your finger, swab it in your mouth and sound like. All these people, like, who say, like, I'm one. I'm one for Chinese, bitch. You are black. You're not. But you are white. You are. Right. That's what you just said.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. You've learned to listen. I taught you so much.
G
I don't. I don't feel. Cameron, I am Cameroonian, and that's. And if you. But that, you know, I'm not here to tell you that you're not Cameroonian because you. You look. You look Cameroonian. And I feel like my heritage lies somewhere in.
Jacob
Okay. Also because Monet is sitting closer to the camera. It makes her look like she's huge.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, gigantic. I look kind. I was sitting close to. I just look. I am kind.
G
Look at me and go, where you from? Every time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, pause it. Do you still feel Cameroonian?
Monet X Change
Do I still what?
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you still feel like you're Cameroonian? I mean, still connect to Cameroon?
Monet X Change
It's in my mind. 23 and me. Do I have any connection to be. To be in Cameroonian?
G
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
You said you were Cameroonian. You said, I don't feel Cameroon.
Monet X Change
I am Cameroon. Well, I think back then, I think this is when my 23andMe was popping. And I'm like, is it my 23andMe, or didn't they go under the air, girl? And they sold on. Yeah, they sold.
Bob the Drag Queen
Your info's out there, girl. Girl, they got you.
Monet X Change
I think it was a time in my life where I was. I think, like, it was a stage. I'm like, I want. I'm. I'm desperate to. To find heritage outside of what I know, which is. Which is in the Caribbean, in America. And I was like, where am I people from in Africa? So I was really clinging to that. But I haven't done any steps to visit to find out anything more than what the test told me. So that's why I don't really feel
Bob the Drag Queen
that you have a Cameroonian friend.
Monet X Change
You can ask B.B.
Bob the Drag Queen
yeah.
Monet X Change
Do you think B.B. and I are related?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, did she do it? 23 and me? You can find out real quick, right?
Monet X Change
Do you. Do you still stand by everything you said here in this episode?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I do. Yeah. Firmly. Do you stand by all the stuff
Monet X Change
you said besides saying that I feel Cameroon?
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, you said you are. You said, I don't feel camera. You said your words. I don't feel Cameron, I am Cameroon.
Monet X Change
I mean, I am Cameroonian. That is correct. So I still stand by you at work
G
from Atlanta. And they go, no. Where your mother from. Mom's from Mississippi. They go, no.
Bob the Drag Queen
Where are you father From.
G
I'm from America. They go, no, you're from Ghana. So I probably have some Ghanaian. Ghanaian down in my.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, pause it. Is that correct?
Monet X Change
It's Ghanaian. You don't say Ghanaian. You don't say Ghana. You say Ghanaian. I guess we see how deep those roots run.
Bob the Drag Queen
How you know that's true.
Monet X Change
Because I've heard. Will, where your father from?
Bob the Drag Queen
Where your father from?
Monet X Change
That's what. That's what people from Ghana say. They say, I'm Ghanaian.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
G
Ghana, Connecticut girl. Well, also, here's my thing with the whole act black thing. I mean, I get what you're saying. Like, it's very hard to pinpoint exactly where you're from. But I feel like us being so disconnected and so far removed from that heritage, we as black people, as. As African Americans, as African, West Indians, whatever, can do a better job of informing ourselves about things about that culture. For example, kente cloth is something only used for ceremonial purposes in lots of cultures and tribes in Africa. So if you were in a kente
Bob the Drag Queen
cloth, is that true? I don't think that's true.
Monet X Change
I remember reading a thing about it. It was like, kente, like kente oftentimes is used for ceremony things.
Jacob
For.
Monet X Change
Back then when I remember you said only. This was like 2018 is only used for. Oh, I think you should use. How is kente cloth used? Is probably a better question to ask.
Bob the Drag Queen
Kente cloth. No, kente cloth is not only for ceremonies. It originated as a royal ceremonial cloth for special occasions in Ghana.
Monet X Change
That's what I'm saying.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's evolved to be used in contemporary fashions, home decor, and worn for celebrations, graduations, and to express African pride globally through specific patterns still hold deep ceremonial meaning.
Monet X Change
Well, so I was half right. That's how it was. That's how when. When. When people first started using kente cloth, it was for use for like, ceremonial, like.
Bob the Drag Queen
So according to this, it is traditional, is for royalty using shrines and symbolic as colors and patterns convey proverbs, historical events and wisdom in modern day. It is for celebration, fashion, decor, and cultural pride work.
Monet X Change
You're welcome.
Bob the Drag Queen
Play the video.
G
You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
I love you editing out the dead air. That's good. But it's a little silent
G
celebrational thing that would just be wearing them on the street. That's cool. You don't even know that. No, I see kente cloth is in the dashiki, and I see them wearing their kente cloth. They're not there doing the ceremonies. They're just standing on the street selling you See what I'm saying? So I think that when we don't have a strong connection to our culture.
Monet X Change
Wait, pause. Sorry.
Bob the Drag Queen
We're not gonna make it this episode.
Monet X Change
Sorry. Do you hear. Do you. Do you think your voice sounds different here than it does now?
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe a little bit, but I don't think it sounds that much different, to be honest.
Monet X Change
I do. I think you hear. You sound like. You sound. Not younger as a word, but you sound like.
Bob the Drag Queen
I am younger.
Monet X Change
You are younger, but you, like. You, like. You're, like, talking up here. You're like.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Monet X Change
Taylor? Anyone listening? Yes, Bob. You are. You're like. Yeah. You're like. You're talking up here, like, in your mask. You're like. I don't see the difference. You're up here.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, obviously, it was bad for my voice because I had to get surgery, so obviously what I'm doing now is better for my voice. Clearly, this is different.
Monet X Change
Do I sound different?
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet X Change
Damn.
Bob the Drag Queen
Swahili. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you call it?
G
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Bob used to have. You have, like, five of them in your house.
Jacob
Okay. It's also seven years later. How Swahili?
Bob the Drag Queen
Go, Jumbo Rafiki.
Monet X Change
What does that mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Hello, friend.
Monet X Change
Jambo Rafiki.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I ordered. I ordered Rosetta stone Swahili in 2008, and I took lessons for, like, a month, but I had pimsleur approach in my house.
Monet X Change
I feel like you didn't. You have, like, the yellow things in your apartment?
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like. No, they were in the. There were these dark brown cases with gold lettering on them, and it was the pimsleur approach. Oh. Which. All. Which is another language learning model.
G
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
G
And maybe if I tried a little hard, a little bit longer, I could have. So. Excuse me. I have to go to the restroom three times.
Monet X Change
What is going on with the background?
G
God damn it. All right, so I want to talk about. Also, it wasn't in the Oscars this year, but the cultural phenomenon that is Black Panther. I know.
Monet X Change
Okay, pause really quick. Sorry. No, Bob, when you was editing this video or.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't edit this video, actually, Mitch.
Monet X Change
Y' all see this bitch is slapping me. Y' all should have put him on
Bob the Drag Queen
the layer behind me. You are just slapping me in the
Monet X Change
face throughout the entire episode.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, he should have been in the layer behind me. Well, take it up with Mitch. I didn't do the video.
G
Well, you. You finally saw it. I did. I went to go see Black Panther, and Black Panther was a good movie. It wasn't the Best movie ever. But I, I get why the movie is important, and I really loved it. Why? Okay, why wasn't it a great movie for you? Well, I mean, it was. I think the movie followed a pretty standard format that isn't inventive or creative. It's like, oh, this guy, rise to power, takes over his father's throne, finds out his father wasn't perfect.
Monet X Change
Monet, close your mouth.
G
Father wasn't perfect. And then he, you know, goes like that, you know, you. Yeah, back. So I don't think that the story itself is revolutionary or specifically.
Bob the Drag Queen
That looks crazy.
Monet X Change
That looks insane.
Jacob
I mean.
Bob the Drag Queen
Pause it. We've discussed several times. Your mouth is never closed. Like, your lips don't touch. You're going to be overcon of it now. And not just in pictures. In life, like you, you, you walk around like this. Do I really? Yes. But your mouth, this is you all the time. I, I, I, I rest your face.
Monet X Change
I watch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Rest your face. Your lips don't touch. Is it? Cause your teeth are big. What's going on?
Monet X Change
Oh, my God.
G
Why are you so aggressive?
Bob the Drag Queen
You do have big teeth. I also have big teeth.
Monet X Change
I have big teeth.
Bob the Drag Queen
You do have big teeth, Chompers.
Monet X Change
Do I really?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. Moni, you have big teeth.
Monet X Change
My teeth are bigger than normal people's teeth.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would say. You have big teeth. Yes. Oh, my God, you do. I also have big teeth. I don't think I have big teeth.
Monet X Change
I think you have a lot of teeth.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have a big head, so my. I have the same amount of teeth as everyone else.
Monet X Change
I think you do.
Bob the Drag Queen
I actually have a little less. Some of these aren't teeth. Some of these aren't teeth. They look like teeth. It gives a look and feel of teeth. They're not teeth.
Monet X Change
The touch and feel of real.
Bob the Drag Queen
Touch and feel of real. But they are absolutely not teeth.
Monet X Change
It's taking me out your hand in front of me the entire video.
G
To see that also to see. It was really moving. To actually see, even though it was fully fictional, a country in Africa run by black people that is hugely successful and more successful any place in the world. Because I don't feel like, as black folks, we get to see stuff like that. Yeah. Ever. It's just not part of the narrative for us. So that, that really felt fierce. It actually was moving. Especially he was like, this never gets old. They flew into the, to the shield or whatever the hell it was. Yeah.
Monet X Change
And also.
Bob the Drag Queen
But pause it. Can I ask a question? Is, Is there some Zionisty tones in there in Black Panther? Like it feels like that's kind of the Iron Dome.
Monet X Change
Let me think about it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, is that. Is that the iron. Like, is. Is Wakanda kind of Israel? I'm just asking. I'm just thinking about. I'm just thinking.
Monet X Change
I'm thinking.
Bob the Drag Queen
By the way, I'm literally just thinking, like, it seems like kind of like the Iron Dome, but I think. And it's like a wealthy country surrounded by poorer countries.
Monet X Change
But I think it was more so to protect.
Bob the Drag Queen
I will say other countries in the Middle east are actually very wealthy.
Monet X Change
And I think that Black Panther was to protect them from white people and not the other black people around. Because I think in Wakanda, other Africans could come into Wakanda if they wanted to, but it was to shield them because they had a resource to do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
What are these white countries in Africa? No, no, no.
Monet X Change
It was to shield them from no white people coming from outside of Africa to come to get them. I think they brought white people in who would have. That one guy. There's only one white guy there.
Bob the Drag Queen
That senator or I haven't seen a while. But didn't superhero show up
Jacob
and didn't
Bob the Drag Queen
white folks show up in Wakanda?
Monet X Change
No, it was the one guy. It was a one, like, doctor. And he ended up putting him in the garb. There was, like, a specific reason.
Bob the Drag Queen
Google, can white people come to Wakanda?
Jacob
The short answer is yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, white people go to Wakanda.
Jacob
But I mean, it. Not like, not until. Like, not until Black Panther, like, he was like, what?
Bob the Drag Queen
I want to get the answer from the Google. Oh, okay. Because I feel like white people can go to Wakanda.
Monet X Change
I don't think so. I think it was the one guy that, like, the senator or whatever he was. Oh, no, I think he worked for SHIELD Anyway, did I tell you that
Bob the Drag Queen
a woman who was in a play with me at this time was in Black Panther, the museum curator.
Monet X Change
Oh, I think I remember you telling
Bob the Drag Queen
me that she was the angel in Angels of America. Frankie Faradanni.
Monet X Change
Right, right, right.
Bob the Drag Queen
British lady, work. She actually had a really great American accent. Obviously, the angle is American in Angels in America, but she had one word she said with a British accent. She didn't realize she was saying with it with Jimmy. Schedule, schedule, schedule. Instead of schedule. Instead of schedule, she'd be like, something, something, something. But it was an American accent. She like. And of course, staying on time with this. With the schedule. And I was like. And I was like, you know, that's. We say schedule, you say schedule.
Monet X Change
And did she Fix it. Or she kept on doing it.
Bob the Drag Queen
She fixed it.
G
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Shout out to Frankie. Frankie, I don't know where you at, but shout out to Frankie Verde. I saw Frankie as Madame Curie in the. In the. In the Madame Curie play.
Monet X Change
I'm so mad that we missed, apparently.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is she the first woman to win a Nobel Science Prize? Madame Curie.
Monet X Change
Apparently, we. Apparently the. There was a paranormal activity play. Apparently, everyone. I got so many. Some people were, oh, my God, this was so good. And I heard literally the exact amount of people, like, girl, don't waste your time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Where was it at?
Monet X Change
It was down at the one that we saw. Strange Loop at the Armansen.
Bob the Drag Queen
The Ahmadson.
Monet X Change
Ahmadson.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm mad I missed it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is it a musical?
Monet X Change
No, it's a play. But apparently the visual effects are so fierce.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, I gotta tell you, like, I've seen some scary plays, and there's something really jarring about being in the same room, like, actually in the same room as the scary thing, as opposed to watching it on tv. I saw American Psycho.
Monet X Change
How is that?
Bob the Drag Queen
You know what? My favorite show. But they had some really cool effects. Like, at one point, toward the end of the first act, this giant, like, cellophane or plexiglas wall covers the entire proscenium, separating you from the actors. And then he starts, like, murdering someone. And then just every. The entire plexiglass wall is just blood. Like, it just splashing. And, like, you just. The whole wall is just, like, dripping and oozing in blood. It was really.
Monet X Change
You saw that in this In New York On Broadway. Yeah, on Broadway.
G
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. All right, let's do wipe.
Monet X Change
Okay, let's go.
Jacob
We never finished the conversation.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, so are white people out in Wakanda?
Jacob
No.
Monet X Change
See?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. No, it's in her to get there
Monet X Change
because they brought him in because of whatever. Because after t'.
Bob the Drag Queen
Challa's show me what you were. Tell us what you're. What you're seeing. Oh.
Jacob
I mean, it's just going off of, like, the comic books in the film.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah.
Monet X Change
I think that was the whole thing about it. It was a protective. For white people coming to steal their resources and their culture.
Jacob
So I would say the similarities is that. I would say Israel and Wakanda are maybe both kind of an ethno state born out of response to a trauma.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Jacob
Even though I don't know if I would actually label Wakanda an ethno state because it's really like, five distinct tribes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right. This is this is two black people and a Jewish person talking about this. So I guess we are. We are qualified.
Monet X Change
We are not African. We are African. We don't live in Cameroon.
Bob the Drag Queen
In three seconds ago, seven years ago, you were straight up from Cameroon.
Jacob
I mean, I don't think you can say Zionisty because Zionism is more about, like.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah.
Jacob
Entitlement to land.
Bob the Drag Queen
So are they entitled to Wakanda?
Monet X Change
I mean, I think they're from there. Like, they. Like, they. They've always lived there.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I guess what the most important thing would be that there were. They didn't displace anyone.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Jacob
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think the most important thing would be if they kicked out some other
Monet X Change
efforts to make it there.
G
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Jacob
So I guess the real question is, is Wakanda an ethnostate and is that problematic?
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, it could be. Girl, you gonna have your black ass
Monet X Change
talk about Wakanda is problematic on this thing. It could be the hotel could have cover your ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, could be problematic. Yes, but to be clear, I. I'm not saying that Wakanda is Israel. I was just asking myself, is there something. Is a little Israeli? All right, let's keep watching.
Jacob
Well, that was also the point of the movie, right? Because after the movie, the events of Black Panther, they're like, we need to open up. And then they built the outreach centers in, like, Oakland.
Monet X Change
Yeah, right.
Jacob
That's right, because they're coming around. They're like, hey, maybe what we've been doing hasn't been the best thing.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Jacob
So we need to actually start sharing
Bob the Drag Queen
stuff with other people. Oh, conda.
Monet X Change
Oh, that's a good break.

okay, Bob, we're back. Bob, you have to stop pausing. We're only eight minutes in.
Bob the Drag Queen
I told you we weren't gonna make it.
G
I have.
Bob the Drag Queen
You paused
G
on a 125th Street.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. Pause.
Ad
Can I even do that?
Bob the Drag Queen
I used to laugh like that.
Monet X Change
Yes, Bob, I in. In the 10 year of our friendship,
Bob the Drag Queen
your laugh has changed, my voice has changed, but even, like a lot of
Monet X Change
your laugh has changed. I feel like every two years I'm introduced to a new Bob laugh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cody. No. Cody. All right, keep playing.
G
When at the. Something happened when the white people were trying to come in or whatever, someone goes, fucking colonizers. And I was like, more colonizers? I think they're okay. First of all, I've never seen a Tyler Perry movie in the theater, but let's make a deal that the next Tyler Perry movie come out, we will go see it in Harlem together.
Monet X Change
Never.
Bob the Drag Queen
Never did it.
G
You have to do it at a black theater. Oh, absolutely. I also saw get out at that same theater, and it was everything that you were. It was everything. I think I saw, like, Spider Man. I went to Matt Justin and watched, like, you know the Notebook? Yeah. It is a game movie, but everyone's talking about this, like, infamous scene where he has to like, a peach and then the guy eats a beach or something like that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Pause it. Immediate us. Us talking about shit we don't know nothing about. We ain't seen this movie.
Monet X Change
We ain't.
Bob the Drag Queen
We don't know about the movie. We heard a friend.
Jacob
That's honestly exactly what happens.
Monet X Change
Well, no, he jerks off in the piece.
Jacob
Yeah, he jerks off in the piece.
Monet X Change
Wrong to pick with you. Well, I guess you never saw it because we watched on our thing. We watched the Time Traveler's Wife and Bob in the first episode.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's a very problematic thing. Cody come. Cody don't know you. Hi, Cody.
G
Hi, honey.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, you're wet. It's okay, Cody. Oh, you are wet. Wait, so what about.
Monet X Change
So you shut the time shadow as a wife down. Cause you were like. It's problematic. Yes, because it was a guy with a younger girl and a guy, whatever, throughout her life. But, baby, Call Me by Her Name. It's statutory.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never seen Call youl By Her Name. I've never advocated for this fucking movie. I ain't never watched this shit in my life.
Monet X Change
Like, a little boy jerks. Well, a teen boy jerks off in a peach who. He's having an affair with this older man. And then a man eats a peach full of his semen.
Bob the Drag Queen
What does that have to do with me?
Monet X Change
I just say you should.
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never advocated for this. I've never seen this movie. I have never told. I've never recommended this movie. I don't know nothing about this movie except Timothy Chalamet's in it.
Monet X Change
Should we watch it? Yeah, it is. Should we watch on the Patreon?
Jacob
I mean, what's that with heated rivalry?
Monet X Change
I don't have any.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't have any particular, like, desire to watch Call Me by your Name.
Monet X Change
It won awards, right? I think it has a lot of critical acclaim.
Bob the Drag Queen
Something about the movie just. It doesn't speak to me. I just don't care that this movie exists.
Monet X Change
Should we watch the Hulu?
Bob the Drag Queen
Timothy Time is on my shit list already anyway.
Monet X Change
Why would he do.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because the Marty Supreme.
Monet X Change
Was it bad?
Bob the Drag Queen
It's frustrating.
Monet X Change
Why is it frustrating?
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't even. Monet, we don't even have time.
Monet X Change
Okay? We literally.
Bob the Drag Queen
We do not have time to get into why I'm so frustrated by Marty Supreme. Oh, wow. And if you understand what I'm going through, if you. If you sympathize with me or empathize with me, please comment below.
Monet X Change
So you went to movies to go
Bob the Drag Queen
see it on Christmas? No, not Christmas Day. Around Christmas.
Jacob
Christmas Eve.
Bob the Drag Queen
Christmas Eve, I went to go into the Chinese theater to watch Morning Supreme.
Monet X Change
Hey, baby. Interesting. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right, let's keep watching.
G
Yes. He like nuts inside of his peach. And then someone just eats it. That's not. Okay. Coming in a peek down and someone eat it. Isn't that crazy? I remember one time, a drag queen in New York City, who. I won't say her name. Oh, yeah. She. She shed an apple out of her. She had an apple in her ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hi.
G
LeBron squeezed it out and then Thorgy picked up a piece of the apple and she. And she ate it. Okay? Not A pick up the whole apple. She bit it cuz she thought it was a funny. No, no, she did not. Because the apple came out of her. And then she bit the apple into pieces, spit it into the bowl salad and passed it around. And then Thor g took a piece of the apple and she ate it. And everyone's freaking out. And that was like, do you eat apples? Do you eat ass? Then why are you shocking someone ate a nap? Cause they came out of someone's ass. Oh no, that's different, girl. Because it's sitting in it. It's marinating.
Monet X Change
That's right.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can we pause for a second? I want to be clear. I still don't think it's weird to eat a peach with cum in it. Like, I certainly had cum in my mouth and I'm from Georgia. I've certainly had peaches in my mouth. And all you're doing is maybe the cum is a little more palatable.
Monet X Change
I think that. I don't think it's weird. I think it's the whole. What the story is, is weird.
Bob the Drag Queen
If the point is to be a little kinky, then I don't see what the problem is.
Monet X Change
Also jerking off in a peach. How shallow is this? How small is this? Like, you know what I'm saying?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, he didn't stick his dick all the way in the peach.
Monet X Change
He did.
Bob the Drag Queen
He was like his entire penis in the peach.
Monet X Change
Well, I think you haven't even seen the movie. No, I haven't seen the movie. I've seen the movie.
Bob the Drag Queen
His entire penis.
Monet X Change
I mean, they don't show it, but he's like stroking it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think maybe he's stroking his dick and just come. I mean, I assume you take a bite and come into the bite you took out of. Or just. Or get a melon baller.
Monet X Change
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
A melon baller.
Monet X Change
And dig it out again.
Bob the Drag Queen
And dig it out and then come into the hole. Are you about to look it up, Jacob?
Jacob
I was, but we should probably keep
Monet X Change
on watching the episode.
Bob the Drag Queen
We're not gonna make it through. It's fine.
G
Her ass like five minutes before. She did not. She was my roommate at the time and I'll tell you who it is. She did not put the apple in a week ago. She didn't put it her mouth. She put it into her ass. It didn't pass through her system. I guess.
Bob the Drag Queen
Know, the guy who came in the
G
beach was very young and the guy who ate the peach was a. An older gentleman. But also, here's the thing too. Like, if you're going to eat a peach. That's fine. But you're not expecting to get like. Like a 14 year old semen in your mouth when you go eat a peach. That's. That's why it's weird.
Monet X Change
Bob is like.
G
You act like this, like a. Like a regular occurrence, like a normal thing to happen.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just saying.
G
It's not crazy for me to have semen in my mouth.
Bob the Drag Queen
I stand by that.
G
So peach bowl, semen.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, pause it. Jacob. So can we. Can we confirm how old Timothy Chalamet's character is? Because you keep saying 14.
Monet X Change
He's like 14 or 15. He's a. He's not. He's definitely not 18.
Bob the Drag Queen
And he has to.
Monet X Change
He's going back to school. He's going back to high school.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like high school.
Monet X Change
High school, yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is problematic.
Monet X Change
I know. That's what I'm. That's. I think that's what I was getting at is the weird part.
Bob the Drag Queen
You. But you still think it's weird to have a fully grown man come in a peach and have someone else eat it?
Monet X Change
No. The kid came out.
Jacob
He was 17.
Bob the Drag Queen
He was 17.
Monet X Change
17.
Jacob
But you think the guy is. The other guy is 24.
Bob the Drag Queen
But do you think it's weird to have a fully grown man come into a peach and have another fully grown adult eat the peach?
Monet X Change
No, that's not weird. But I was like, jacob, I don't know if you can tell if. Tell us, was he expecting. Did he know the cum was in the peach or was a surpr.
Jacob
He knew.
Monet X Change
He knew. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was like kinky.
Monet X Change
Kinky.
Bob the Drag Queen
And it's really not that kinky. I mean, it's a little. It's a little bizarre, but it's not. I've seen much kinkier stuff.
G
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. Is Cody distracting you?
Monet X Change
Don't put him down.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nope. Oh. Oh, Cody.
Monet X Change
I like Cody because I'm not allergic to him.
Bob the Drag Queen
Pause. You're allergic to potato. We've had this conversation.
Monet X Change
Yeah, several times.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's insane.
Monet X Change
I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy.
Monet X Change
I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you just pop in Zyrtec every day? Every day.
Monet X Change
It's probably not good for my liver or something.
Bob the Drag Queen
Apparently it's not bad for your liver. Jacob's allergies to.
Jacob
I mean, I. I talked to my. I talked to my doctor, and I was like, hey, I'm taking a lot of Zyrtec now. Is that fine? And they were like, yeah, that's fine. I. That's specifically me and my medical provider. So I, you know, check in with yours. We're not doctors, but well, they make
Monet X Change
allergy shots, but apparently it's like a. It's like a 50, 50 chance that they'll work. Yeah, allergy shots. Are you allergic to anything? No, nothing.
Bob the Drag Queen
No. No allergies. Basically, a perfect place.
Monet X Change
The way that animals will sit there and lick their bits is crazy. Colleen will use a little box come out. You know, cats are flexible. She will sit down, leg up here.
Jacob
And who did she learn that from?
Bob the Drag Queen
This. This is model behavior.
Monet X Change
Licking her after she goes.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's modeling behavior. She's seen girl.
Monet X Change
This is. Is Cody full grown?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, he's grown. Got it. He's three. Can you tell them what you're laughing at, Jacob?
Jacob
Looking at herself in the mirror?
Monet X Change
Because, I mean. Okay, Bob, we were sitting there for, I think, like, an hour. I'm in a full drag. I'm probably sweaty. I want to, like, make sure I'm looking good on camera. That's not crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's unprofessional.
Jacob
The thing is, because Monet has always.
Bob the Drag Queen
When we were doing it herself.
Monet X Change
That is not true.
Bob the Drag Queen
Always looking at herself with the camera, y'.
G
All.
Monet X Change
When we used to do.
Bob the Drag Queen
We clocked it. They clocked it.
Monet X Change
When we did Riverton episodes, Bob used to square. I was looking at myself. You were.
Bob the Drag Queen
And we clocked it.
Monet X Change
Sometimes, not all the time.
Jacob
Well, next episode, we'll have a mirror right here. We'll see how well you do.
Monet X Change
Okay, that is a very contentious word.
G
Don't you dare, girl slave.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God.
G
Jesus Christ. Master's Steve Jobs.
Monet X Change
Who are you talking about?
Bob the Drag Queen
Steve Jobs?
G
Oh, I run out of the galaxy. Note 9 or the 8. I don't know which one it is, but it's a really great phone. 18 does not believe it. Well, here's the thing. Before Bob accidentally won RuPaul's Drag Race, he could never really ask for to have an iPhone, so you had to. He had to have a galaxy. And now he's just. Okay. What you're saying is addition to using this thing that it is. That's ridiculous. All right, all right, hold on. The first question is, best pizza in New York City. Besties in New York City. Domino's, everything.
Monet X Change
Oh, pause. I was the reason why my sense was like that, because I was conditioned by this. We would eat Domino's so many times a week.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love Domino's.
Monet X Change
My brain told me was Domino's. I disag.
Bob the Drag Queen
Go ahead. Sorry.
Monet X Change
I, I, I, I, I, I disagree with that now. I wouldn't say Domino's, but we just had. I would have Domino's at least. At least twice a week.
Bob the Drag Queen
Being by you, I don't think Domino's is. Domino's is my favorite, like, chain pizza, and I probably prefer Domino's over local pizza. Last night we had Detroit pizza that
Monet X Change
was actually really good.
Bob the Drag Queen
Detroit is great.
Monet X Change
Detroit is great pizza.
Bob the Drag Queen
Great pizza. If you're in Hollywood, you got to get Detroit pizza.
Monet X Change
I want to see a little better than, you know. I love Prince street, but a little bit of Prince street, to me, I
Bob the Drag Queen
think it's better than Prince Street. The thing is, is they're. They're pretty small piece. I would say two people per pizza. And each piece is a corner piece. Yeah.
Monet X Change
Which is great.
Bob the Drag Queen
So it's got that crispiness on it.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
But my favorite piece in New York City is 1, 2, 3.
Monet X Change
Coronet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
G
Are you getting embarrassed? Because you don't. People don't want you to acknowledge that Domino's has good pizza, and people are, like, trying to. On Domino's Pizza. I'm not about that life.
Monet X Change
Did you try to edit out the curse?
Bob the Drag Queen
It wasn't me. I didn't edit this.
G
Oh, so you probably haven't had Domino's in a long time, Ms. Sting. I'm telling you, Domino's has good pizza. What's your favorite pizza from Domino's? Okay, so here's the thing. So you know how they have the 2 for the 5.99? Deal. If we get, like, multiple, medium size, blah, blah, blah, blah. But now, because of the algorithm and the lexicons on Facebook, the lexicons pause.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can we pause? Jacob, what do you. What do you think a lexicon is? It's not that I need to know what you think of it.
Monet X Change
Let's talk about language. I don't know what. I don't know what I was getting at. The algorithm, the lexicons.
Jacob
What are you doing? Sorry, I was talking to Cody.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, let's. Let's play
G
7.99. So my favorite is a thin crust, large chicken, bacon, ham, pepperoni, big back.
Bob the Drag Queen
Big back.
G
Are you kidding me right now? Oh, girl, it is every day. Bacon, ham, and pepperoni.
Monet X Change
Yes.
G
With green peppers and onions.
Bob the Drag Queen
Ah, I miss those days.
Monet X Change
That was too much pizza.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want pizza on my pizza with extra sauce.
G
Also, you used to fucking shame me for eating meat. And now here she go.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
G
Never, ever. Shame.
Monet X Change
Never Shame. Yes, you have.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have not. Pause. We gotta talk about it. When have I shamed you for eating meat?
Monet X Change
Okay, I've never shamed you for eating me by having Honey LeBron in your part when I came, when I was a visitor in your home and I would eat my food. And having someone who lives in your home play, that's nothing to do with me. And while I'm eating.
Bob the Drag Queen
So to be clear, everyone who's ever disrespected me in your home, that was on you.
Monet X Change
No one has ever disrespected me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just want to be clear. If I've ever been disrespected in your home, that was on you.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but who? Who would disrespect you in my home? Literally no one.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know who. Who? You know who.
Monet X Change
No one has ever. I would not. I would not stand to let anyone disrespect you in my home.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, me and wasn't going to it
Monet X Change
one time during the game night.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who? The one who. The one with the girlfriend. The one who bring that girl around. Andy's friend. Who bring the girl around?
Jacob
Annie.
Monet X Change
Jenny Jaffe.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, Andy's friend with the covered in tattoos. Annie. And he brings the girl around.
Monet X Change
Oh, the porn. The porn guy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. We got into it once.
Monet X Change
Did y' all really?
Bob the Drag Queen
During the game. We got heated.
Monet X Change
Was I there?
Bob the Drag Queen
You was there.
G
It got heated.
Monet X Change
What game were we playing?
G
We're actually really.
Bob the Drag Queen
We're really cool, but it got heated.
Monet X Change
What game was it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Probably either Mafia or. Or secret Hitler or werewolf or something like that.
Monet X Change
He came. He was at the foot for the.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought Messina, essentially, that city's amazing show.
Monet X Change
Oh, so good.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do like him. He's really. He's really cool.
Monet X Change
He was at my house for the engagement party. He came for the engagement party and I accidentally called him his ex boyfriend's name. I was.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know why I even said that.
Monet X Change
I was like, I'm so. I was like, I am so sorry. I was like, I am so sorry.
Bob the Drag Queen
The assassin. I was like, I'm so sorry, Jenny. Band A best Now I want to dedicate this song to you, Erica Kirk. Bang bang into the like Jesus Christ.
Monet X Change
Nikki.
Bob the Drag Queen
Onika. All right.
G
And have a sandwich with five kinds of meat on. And I would say, Monet, that is a lot of meat. But I have never shamed. First of all, as long as you've known me, I've never been a vegetarian. I was before you met me.
Monet X Change
No, you Bob. You were for a year. You're a vegetarian. I met you.
G
First of all. You didn't know me then. Oh, my God, you heard me. Because I'm legendary. That's what I. But since you and I've been hanging out since I accepted. Accepted you into the clan. Also. Also, let me say this. You said that you didn't shave me. You literally in your eyes. And your gesture. You were just shaming. I can't wait for you to watch this. You like? That's a lot. That is shaming.
Monet X Change
That is a little shaming.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a observation, not a criticism.
G
Flabbergasted. Gotham pizza. It is on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Gotham is good pizza. Best dollar pizza in the city.
G
It's right next to Quiznos.
Bob the Drag Queen
Used to be $, not $.
G
I've been there for about four years. So work. I'm sorry. It's next to the chipotle. And you are forgetting about Mama's Pizza.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, Mama's Pizza.
G
Mama's pizza at 106 in Amsterdam. Yeah. And we would get mama's Pizza, then get a bucket of fried Oreos and
Monet X Change
eat the big bad.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was a bag.
G
We had a few Fridays. Let's take a very short break, and when we come back, we will have some more questions from our fans.
Monet X Change
Okay. We should pause it here and then do a part two of this because we're not gonna get through the rest of it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. How much time we got, Jacob?
Jacob
Yeah, we can. We can wrap whatever.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay. Yeah. I mean, I never thought we'd get through maybe. Maybe the next part we'll review another early episode.
Monet X Change
Yeah. That was good.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, we have come so far, girl.
G
So far.
Monet X Change
I'm so proud of us. Look at where we're at now. In your studio at Purse Verse Studios.
Bob the Drag Queen
Across the country. Across the universe.
Monet X Change
The universe.
Bob the Drag Queen
The United States universe.
Monet X Change
I've seen this. Is that a show? No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, it's a. It's like a Beatles. It's not about the Beatles. It is a jukebox movie musical with all Beatles music.
Monet X Change
And what is it about?
Bob the Drag Queen
I cannot remember. I think it's a love story.
Jacob
What is it? Across the universe.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Monet X Change
I can't even remember what it's about.
Jacob
Oh, yeah.
G
War.
Jacob
And there's war.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's a lesbian.
Jacob
Yeah. It's just like hippies during the Vietnam War.
Bob the Drag Queen
Kind of like hair did it.
Monet X Change
There is a movie of hair. They do the remake, though. It's the old. The original era. The original hair is too old. I want to see a updated version of it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't have strong opinions about that.
Monet X Change
Sasha Allen. She is, man.
G
She.
Monet X Change
Her singing that role on Broadway.
G
She is.
Bob the Drag Queen
I cried.
Monet X Change
She is. She.
Bob the Drag Queen
I wept it.
Monet X Change
I want us to give a shout out to Sasha Allen. She's an iconic New Yorker. For her voice. She's been in these Broadway streets. She did. I cannot believe she did not win the Voice. People who don't win the Voice and they're like that. I'm like, she is literally a once in a generation talent. Her voice is immaculate.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's. I don't know who else was competing that year, so I can't really speak on that. Such a beautiful show. Maybe the next Whitney Houston was on the same season.
Monet X Change
I say she's in next Whitney Houston.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe the next Mariah Carey was on the same season. I don't know.
Monet X Change
She's incredible.
Bob the Drag Queen
But she does have an absolutely beautiful voice.
Monet X Change
So shout out to Sasha Allen. Sasha, I love you, girl.
Bob the Drag Queen
Sasha, do you watch?
Monet X Change
I don't know, y'.
G
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tag Sasha Allen.
Monet X Change
Tog tag Sasha Allen.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, you're sleepy.
Monet X Change
Let's wrap it up. I'm not sleepy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe you need your Adderall. All right, thanks, everyone.

Podcast Hosts: Bob The Drag Queen & Monét X Change
Date: March 30, 2026
Studio: Sibling Rivalry & Studio71 & Confetti Cannon
In this episode, Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change celebrate the journey of their hit podcast by watching and reacting to their very first episode, recorded seven years earlier. They give behind-the-scenes commentary, critique their former selves, and revisit their dynamic as a duo. The episode is full of playful banter, honest reflections, and a few messy moments—both in terms of audio quality and personal revelations. This trip down memory lane is peppered with jokes, pop culture tangents, and thoughtful discussions on identity, culture, and friendship.
The hosts start by setting up the reaction format, acknowledging how far they've come in professionalism and audio/video standards.
Technical DIY: Bob reminisces about producing and editing the show himself, including hand-editing out his infamous laugh snorts.
"Notice how you guys never called me out for my snorting. I edited out every snort." — Bob (06:30)
Early Recording Struggles: Monet describes recording in a ‘shipping container’ and Bob buying all Monet’s gear to maintain a consistent look and feel.
The Same-Headphones Debate: They recall arguing at length over having matching headphones for "the look" (09:30).
The pair riff on each other’s quirks: Monet’s immaculate shaving game and Bob’s preferred oversized Red Bulls, poking fun while expressing genuine affection.
"Thank you for having such lovely snacks and stuff here. But your cans of Red Bull are too big. 20 ounces is a lot." — Monet (03:33)
The Art of a ‘Sandwich Critique’: Monet tries (and fails) to sneak in a compliment between complaints, which Bob gleefully calls out.
Podcast Longevity & Competition: Bob cheekily boasts about their podcast’s staying power among Drag Race alumni:
"We have more episodes than What's the Tea?...We are the last one standing." — Bob (05:17)
The group revisits their old conversation about whether African-Americans "appropriate" African culture:
"I think it was a stage. I'm like, I want...I'm desperate to find heritage outside what I know." — Monet (24:21)
Kente Cloth and Appropriation: They try to fact-check past claims that kente cloth is for ceremonial use only, concluding its meaning has evolved (26:24).
Genealogy Tangent: Joking about "finding out you’re 1/4 Chinese or Rwandan," poking fun at DNA test obsessions.
A spirited, messy discussion about the movie "Call Me By Your Name":
"If the point is to be a little kinky, then I don't see what the problem is." — Bob (45:19)
Personal boundaries are tested as they debate if it's weird, who the real perverts are, and what counts as kink.
Chitchat about "Black Panther" leads to a philosophical detour about ethnostates, Zionism, and what Wakanda represents (32:38–37:52).
Heated debate about the best pizza in New York, exposing how Domino’s became a staple during leaner years.
"Best pizza in New York City? Domino's." — Monet (50:41)
Arguing over whether Bob ever shamed Monet about eating meat, spiraling into classic "That is a little shaming" territory (55:39).
"This is the longest running R Girl podcast...We have been standing the longest." — Bob (05:17–05:36)
"You have never seen me on stage without 20, at minimum, 20 ounces of Red Bull in my body." — Bob (04:21)
"Bob was adamant that we had to have the same [headphones]. I was like, okay, girl." — Monet (09:39)
"We made not a dollar. I spent a lot of effort, money, and time making your career flourish." — Bob (10:10)
"You wouldn't even live long enough for blacks to be free as long as we were slaves." — Bob (21:33)
"Back then...I want...I'm desperate to find heritage outside what I know..." — Monet (24:19–24:21)
"Best pizza in New York City is...Coronet." — Both (51:27)
"If the point is to be a little kinky, then I don't see what the problem is." — Bob (45:19)
"Your laugh has changed, my voice has changed...I feel like every two years I'm introduced to a new Bob laugh." — Monet (40:47)
"Is Wakanda an ethnostate and is that problematic?" — Jacob (37:48)
"I have the same amount of teeth as everyone else...some of these aren't teeth." — Bob (31:55)
The episode closes with Bob and Monét marveling at their own growth personally and as podcast hosts, showing nostalgic pride at how their banter and friendship have evolved. Despite all the technical glitches and debates, their chemistry remains infectious.
"I'm so proud of us. Look at where we're at now." — Monet (56:46)
The hosts give a heartfelt shoutout to Broadway performer Sasha Allen, muse about musicals, and wrap things up with the promise to continue reviewing their podcast milestones.
Bottom Line:
This is a rich, hilarious episode perfect for new fans curious about the show’s roots or longtime listeners eager for genuine behind-the-scenes stories. There’s real insight here—about friendship, identity, starting something from nothing, and, always, the magic of a well-timed roast.
