My name is bob the drag queen,
B
and I'm monet x james.
A
And this is sibling rivalry. On this week's episode, Monet wears a hat to die for.
B
We talk about what music makes plants grow better.
A
And we found out what made Monet say this.
B
Imagine a civil rivalry ended up in murder. And we find out what made Bob say this.
A
Monet, don't ask dumb bitch questions. What's up with this Von Dutch hat, girl?
B
More TikTok purchases. I cannot escape buying things at TikTok shop. And I never wanted, you know what? Back in the day. So Von D was something that was cool, like early 2000s. Like 2000s, 2010s.ish. And I don't know who the brand was. Vondage was. Was pretty popular. And so Tik Tok, they were like, hey, there are vondage hats for $20. You should buy them. I was like, okay. So I bought 20. Not, not literally 20. I bought like five for $20. And I have all. I have a pink one. I have this one. I have a one with Cheetah. And I, I, I, I, I like. I like the vibes. Do you like it?
A
From what I understand, Von Dutch went out of business, and there was a lot of scandal. I think there may have even been murder involved in the v. Murder. I might be making that up. But there's, like, a lot of madness involved in the Von Dutch brand.
B
Can you look that up for us about Von Dutch or at least some.
A
Some level of. Some level of criminality where the Von Dutch brand had, like, a lot of. Can we get silence on the set? Please get quiet on the set.
B
I don't know who the fuck is. Oh, that's the. That's the. The gardener. Hold on one second.
A
The gardener.
B
It's open.
C
You can.
B
You can. You can come in. Just. Just pull the latch on the top right.
A
The gardener. Oh, my God. It's open.
B
It's open. Just you pull the latch on the top right. On the top right is a latch.
A
A latch. A gardener.
B
Wait, let me just pull this door so they don't. The thing isn't loud.
A
Doors.
B
Wow.
A
That's y' all queen. That is y' all queen right there.
B
Oh, were you one of those people that would be. That would make fun of me for my. Or be fascinated by my. By my drawer? Microwave.
A
You got a drawer? What is a drawer?
B
Microwave. I have a microwave. That's a drawer. Like, you know, like a microwave normally is like a door you open and you close. I have one that's Like a drawer. Like, you press the thing and it opens. But when I first moved in, I would, like, show. Not show people. People were like, what's that? I'm like, oh, it's a microwave. And they'd be like, what? And then I would open it and be like, oh, I can't tell. People doing a bit. I'm like, it just opens by a drawer. It's not anything crazy. But Naomi did a bit about it.
A
Plastic flex on that is crazy. To randomly try to flex your microwave is crazy.
B
How am I flexing my microwave? I'm just saying.
A
People don't even brought it up. You just really wanted us to know about your joy.
B
No, because I did a whole TikTok about it. And people. It was a whole thing. But, like, God doy. Did a thing. I was like, y', all. I don't. I don't there. I have fancy things that I'm really proud of. This is not something I'm f. That I think that is fancy or I'm proud of particularly.
A
You did. They don't want. They didn't want to force you to do the TikTok. You said you did a whole TikTok. This one might make you do this.
B
I did a TikTok? Yes. Because I said I need to do a TikTok about us. And people were like. And on particular people like, yeah, Monet. No.
D
1.
B
That's a drawer microwave. That's crazy. But now I think people.
A
It doesn't sound fancy. It actually doesn't sound practical.
B
Why? Why is it not practical?
A
How high is this drawer?
B
It's at your waist or a little below your waist.
A
I feel like microwaves are typically above your head. Typically speaking, microwaves are up or at waist level.
B
But people who are short, it's inconvenient for them.
A
So I'm imagining trying to put something into a microwave down like that doesn't. It just doesn't sound like a practical microwave.
B
No, it's good. It's great. It's a great microwave. Although it literally everything always goes wrong with a house. It was fine two days ago. I went. Andy went to go put something, and now there's an error code. And now we have to, like, send a picture of the serial number. This. It makes you jump through hoops to fucking fix the problem. I'm like, this is crazy.
A
It doesn't sound great.
B
It's annoying.
A
I used to have this microwave for years that I want to say Ms. Cracker gave me. I think Ms. Cracker might have gave it to Me, I just remember that it had a rainbow on it and some Hebrew on the rainbow.
B
Oh, it was a. That was the brand. Or there was a sticker.
A
No, she's a sticker. It was like a sticker on the microwave.
B
Got it.
A
And everyone always be like, are you Jewish? And they'd be like, no, Ms. Cracker just gave me a microwave. But no, I'm not Jewish. But I don't eat shellfish. That's the time I tell people I was raised Jewish. I think it's funny. They were like, you don't eat shellfish. Yeah, I was raised Jewish.
B
Did you? Oh, wait, you were telling me. So someone sold Von Dutch. Why they. These hats are back in circulation.
A
I was saying, I think that there is some criminality, maybe even murder or violence involved with Von Dutch. And I also am pretty sure that Von Dutch went out of business. So either someone has purchased the Von Dutch IP or someone is just making fake Von Dutch and selling it. One of the two.
B
Okay. Jacob Spitfire.
C
In 2005, the co owner of Von Dutch shot his best friend in an altercation at their home. He was claiming self defense, saying his friend attacked him with a beer bottle. Um, it got and killed.
B
Or just shot him.
C
Gotten killed.
B
Got it.
C
Um, it didn't seem to have anything to do with the business. It seemed to be a personal issue. But because of his. Because of his standing and what happened, the brand suffered because of that.
B
Damn.
A
And I believe there's some movie about Von Dutch.
C
Yes, it's. It's like a Hulu docu series.
B
Well, y', all, when something happened, it's so funny because Bob is like, you can tell. Like the little crumbles of just where you're like. I think someone drew a cartoon at some point.
A
I just remember being like, oh, that sounds really dramatic for a clothing company. I remember being like, ooh, this seems wild. And like murder.
B
Imagine if civil rivalry ended up in murder.
A
Yeah, it'd be me. You'd kill me. We already know that. You would have some fit of jealousy, probably, and you would try to save my life.
B
No, it will be me finally putting up, taking up of taking up for myself after all the years of abuse. I would be like fucking Gypsy Rose Blanchard. They're going to find out. It was years of you bullying me. I finally snapped.
A
No, I got it right. It would be. It would be a cowardice attack at my back for sure. Like you wouldn't do it. Facing me. It would be some cowardly. Like I'd be turning around and then when I wasn't looking. And honestly, you probably would do a gypsy rose and get someone else to do it. I don't think you'd do it yourself.
B
Oh, yeah, I'd hire a hitman to kill you. Yeah. There's no shame in that. I wouldn't do it myself. I'd hire someone to do it.
A
Yeah, but if I killed you face to face, I would throw you a weapon.
B
Yeah. I would be going to jail. Under the jail.
A
I would throw you a weapon, then I would have one. Then I would provoke you to attack me first. And then I could say, self defense.
B
No. And I was like, I won't sit there. I ain't stupid. I'm sitting there like, ok, you gonna
A
let me get the first stab?
B
Yeah. Cause that's all. Cause after that first tab, nigga, you better hope you get a lung or directly in the heart. Because if you don't kill me, nigga, on the first stab, it's a rap for you. I ain't stopping until you dead.
A
What do you think a stab is? You think a stab is like getting a tattoo? Like getting your eyebrows threaded? What do you think a tattoo is?
B
I said, you better get me in the lung or get me in the heart. Get me somewhere where I think about it.
A
You believe that if I stabbed you in the thigh, you would be so physically impaired that you wouldn't be able to defend yourself.
B
Adrenaline, like that stuff takes over. You see people who lose limbs or they, they get shot, whatever, and they're still fighting for the lies because it's. Something takes over. Now afterwards, I will probably be there like, oh my God, give. Put a band aid on my shit. He stabbed me.
A
I think you see that in movies, but in real life people are like,
B
I on Reddit, but you don't see Reddit videos.
C
People be stabbed and trigger warning right here for some violent stuff you can skip to after the break if you don't want to hear some gross stuff coming up.
B
You'll be on Reddit. They are stabbed, they are shot, and they are fighting for their lives. I'm like, that's on a movie.
A
You're not on Reddit. You're in your home. Okay.
B
With all my faculties around me, sometimes
A
I'll see a YouTube video and I'll. Or a TikTok and I'll think to myself like, oh, this is clearly gonna go wrong. And in my mind I'm thinking to that, like, they'll be standing on a chair that is on another chair. And my thought process is, B, don't You know you're in a YouTube video. Like, you should know that you're in a YouTube. Like, if I. You wouldn't. You would not be. If you knew you were in a YouTube video, you wouldn't be doing this. You're in a YouTube video with a million likes. This can't possibly go well for you. I just watched spoiler alert. See, I give spoiler alerts. I like Monet. Spoiler alert. I. Oh, my God. I lost my train of thought. Oh, yeah.
B
I just.
A
I finally saw the substance. Oh.
B
How do. What do you think?
A
Have you seen it already?
B
Yeah. Great.
A
So when watching them, specifically a scary movie, someone has to be making bad decisions. Like, a big part of being in a scary movie is making bad decisions. And I just kept getting so irritated with sue that she kept.
B
Sue is Demi Moore's character.
A
No, that is Sparkle.
C
Sue is the younger girl.
A
Elizabeth. Sue's the younger girl.
D
There's only.
A
There's only three characters in the whole fucking movie. I know. I mean, basically. And sue just kept making all these terrible decisions, and then Ms. Sparkle. What was her name? Christina Sparkle.
C
Elizabeth.
A
Elizabeth Sparkle also kept making bad decisions. I could be like, you guys keep making bad decisions back to back to back. Then I realized if they hadn't, it'd just be a movie about someone who just literally respects the balance and does the substance every seven days and swaps back and forth and is, like, pretty chill about it.
B
Yeah.
A
I also can't really see the benefit for. For Elizabeth Sparkle. Like, what's the benefit to being in the Matrix? Because you. You don't share memories. You don't get to have a better life. All you're doing, just creating a better life for someone else.
B
Man, that's true.
A
So at first, I hadn't seen the movie. I thought that when they split apart, it was her. The younger verse was going to be just. It was going to be just young Demi Moore.
B
Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
A
I thought. I thought it was going to literally be her. And then she can go back and be like, wow, you look great, girl. What are you doing? Who did you go to? Lindsay Lohan's guy.
B
You know what I mean?
A
But instead, it's just a whole new person with a whole new name with a whole. With. With a whole new brain. And they have access to your home, your money, your wealth, all your stuff. It's. It's like you're being someone you're. You're giving birth to an ungrateful adult.
B
Yeah. And it's Not.
A
I don't see the benefit to taking the substance.
B
Yeah, yeah.
A
Unless sue was sharing her money, which I guess sue wasn't, in fact, sharing her money with Elizabeth Sparkle because she.
B
Oh, yeah. That's the benefit she gets. Because when she, like, all the money she, sue is making, Demi Moore gets to use it or live or do you utilize however she wants for seven days?
A
Yeah. But then Elizabeth loses everything. Like, I just don't, I. Knowing what I know about the substance, I would never take it. Because there's no benefit to the Matrix. The Matrix gets no benefit. You had money in this case, Elizabeth already had money. I mean, Elizabeth Sparkle already had money.
C
Yeah.
A
Like, she, it wasn't a story of her being broke. It wasn't a story about her losing her funds. Like, I just don't see what the benefit was to Elizabeth Sparkle.
B
Yeah, that was a huge benefit for her. And that, that to me, when watching, Andy and I were watching it and that's when we walked away from the movie. We were like. But we were saying, like, it's not even her when she's young. Like, I thought it was gonna be her when she was young. And then. But I, I, I, I didn't know anything. Besides, it was something I knew from all the things I saw from Halloween. I knew it was something that made someone a monster. But I didn't know all I didn't know about sue and Sparkle, the difference there. And when watching it, we were like, yeah, it's crazy. That shoot. She didn't get Demi Moore. Like, it wasn't her when she was younger.
A
And if you're wondering if you should watch this film, if you like ass, there is a lot of ass in. Oh, my God, the whole video. They're zooming on sue and Elizabeth Sparkle's ass the whole time. There's so many clips of their ass, like, non stop. A lot of nudity. Nothing full frontal, but a lot of nudity and a lot of ass. Like, you don't remember seeing Demi Moore's ass over and over again and then Sue's ass over and over again.
B
This is, this is the thing that happened. Andy and I watch TV or we watch this program together and bitch the next episode. I, I don't know what it is. When I'm in a movie theater, when I'm at home watching something, I will fall asleep. I don't care if I'm fully well rested. I will fall asleep for a chunk of it. And anyone's supposed to be like, oh, yeah, this happened when you slept well,
A
Only at home you fall asleep at
B
a movie theater, but not at a friend's house. Like when we watch movies at your house, I don't fall asleep.
A
Maybe there's something. Maybe there's something. Maybe there's a. Actually, no, I was gonna think that doesn't work either. Cause I said maybe, you know, you gotta drive home, but you gotta drive home from the movie theater, too. So I don't know. I don't know what your problem is.
B
I love sleeping in a movie theater. But I also. I would go to a movie after.
A
Like, I.
B
After I had a full day of activities. I done. I done did a full day of things. I'm like, oh, what should I do now? Oh, go to a movie theater at 10pm in a nice, cozy, cool, quiet, dark place and watch a thing. Of course I'm going to fall asleep.
A
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I love to go to CityWalk. CityWalk is a great movie theater.
B
It is really good. It's really good.
A
Isn't there like a. Isn't there a movie theater here that sells, like, food and stuff? Like, we should go.
B
I picked up.
A
I pick it sound like it might be a little much, though. Like, I don't want a waiter coming to me during the movie, talking to me at the most pivotal part of the film.
B
No, I think you order yourself beforehand and they just bring it to you throughout the course of the film.
A
I don't think they just walk in front of everybody.
B
I think. I think it's probably set up in a way that they're doing it that is not obstructing everyone's view. I would reckon to go to one of your words you want to use. I reckon that they figured out a way that worked.
A
This is a word that only I use. I said it's a word that I use. Let me be clear.
B
Also, I want to point out yesterday I called Bob to hang out with me and Kim and he rejected us.
A
Yeah, I did. Yeah.
B
I'm just logging it. Just logging it.
A
I want to be clear that Monat called me to hang out, like, on a whim. It wasn't like it was a whim.
B
Decided to do it.
A
Monae was like, we're going out tomorrow. Because I want to point out also that me and Naomi called Monet the night before and she rejected us.
B
No, no, no.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bob.
B
No. Yeah. This whole thing. Naomi and I planned to go the night before. Naomi and I hired our plans to go to the party. Then the next day, you and I were talking on the phone, and you told me you and Naomi, the day of the party, you're like, naomi and I are going. No, you said something and I was like, oh, are you going to come to.
A
You're already a fucking up story.
B
Tell me. Tell me the story, then we can go.
A
In fact, I will tell you after this break.
B
Yeah, go to fucking break.
A
And we're back.
B
Go ahead, tell me.
A
So Monet told me that. I asked Monet what she was doing. Monet said, on the day of, by the way, I don't know what you and Naomi talked about, but on the day of, Monet said, I'm going to Orville Peck's Christmas party.
B
So. Pause really quick. Just before you said it was the night before that, you. That you and Naomi invited me. So you're already.
A
No, no, no, no. The night before your story before it happened the night before your story. So you and Kim had this thing. The night before that, me and Naomi had our thing. Not the night before. We asked the night before what your story was the day before. That was me and Naomi. I don't. So. So. So check that.
B
No, I'm confused what you're saying. You're saying that you and Naomi hung out the day before.
A
No, the day before, you and Kim hung out. Yeah, you. The night before that, me and Naomi hung out.
B
Right. And I went to the.
A
I didn't call you the night before. Before me and Naomi hung out. Before your story happened. Me and Naomi's story happened. So what I'm saying is. You talking about how you invited me. I said, no, but the night. Literally the night before that, me and Amy called you, and you didn't hang out.
B
Yeah, because I already had plans to go out to Ovalpex party.
A
Okay, now. Now let me. So. So you're already wrong. So let's just. Let's continue.
B
Tell me how I'm wrong. I'm confused.
A
You're trying to say that I invited you the night before. No, Monet, I'm not. You're saying the night before I asked. No, I asked you the night of, just like you asked me the night of. But my story was the night before your story. Keep up, Mo.
B
Yeah, but. But I'm. But before you said that you and Naomi invited me to something the night before I did.
A
So. So. Story continues. So Monet was like, hey, I'm going to Orville Peck's Christmas. I said, what are you doing tonight? She goes, I'm going to Orville Peck's Christmas. I said, oh, okay. And then Monet said, are you going? I said, I wasn't invited is what I said. And then. And then Monet said, well, I'm sure you can come. And I said, well, I wasn't invited, so I'm not sweating it. I mean, me and Orville Peck are not particularly close. We're not like buddies or anything. So it's fine. I'm just not gonna go. And then Naomi called me. And then Naomi was like, hey, what are you doing tonight? Naomi was like, hey, do you want to come to this party with me? Me and my friend, and I can bring somebody. And I said, okay, sounds great. So then I went to go pick up Naomi.
B
And then. You missed that part, Bob. Naomi and I were on the phone. A three way call that.
A
Let me tell the story. You're already. Can you let me tell the story instead of assuming what I was doing and where I was doing it that night?
B
No, I'm not.
A
I didn't know the timeline.
B
I'm just saying the timeline.
A
I know where I was and I know when I was there. So let me get. Continue my. Thank you. So then I went to go pick up Naomi and then we. Then we're. Then we're. We're all getting ready to hang out. And then I asked Monae, we called Monet to see what she's doing. Monet says, I'm going to orvopex party. You and Naomi should come. And I said, me and you and
B
Naomi were not together. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
A
Tell my story, you can tell yours. Let me tell my story, then you can tell yours at the same place
B
together when you call me my story.
A
And then I will uninterrupt to let you tell yours.
B
This is wrong.
A
So sit back and stop talking.
B
This is a lie.
A
So sit back and stop talking. Thank you. I was talking, reclaiming my time. So then Monet's like, at some point, Monet's like, you and you and Naomi should come to the Orville's party. And we were both like. We. Both of us were like, we. Neither of us was invited. One and we already have plans.
B
We.
A
Neither of us was invited and we. And we already have plans. So then we say. But then after we're. We're leaving the party. And then I call Monet and then got Mick answers the phone and she goes, hello, Gorge. I said, oh, Mick. Hey, what's going on? What are you guys doing? I said, we're going to precinct. And then. Because before that, because earlier when. When me and when Monet Asked me, Naomi, to leave our party and go to. Or not go to our party and go to hers instead. We. We said, we're not doing that. We have a party to go to, and we're going to go to precinct afterwards, and if you want, you can come. And Monet says, you know what I might do. It might be kind of hard because of my feet, but I might do that. That sound like it could be really fun. We said, okay. Went to our party. We called Monet to check in because we said we would. Gottmik answered the phone. Gottmik says, we're on the way. We will be there soon. Monet calls me back and goes, that's not true. I don't want to come. So we invited you out, and you said you don't want to come.
B
Okay, all the things. So the day before Orville Peck's party, Naomi and I were on the phone. We were planning to hang out on. On that. The day of the party together. And she's like, oh, I was like. I was like. I was like, would you want to come to Orville Peck's party? I'm sure he'd love to have you there. She's like, yeah, that sound like. That could be fun. Let me know what he says. Texted Orville. Orville was like, cool. Naomi. Naomi and I were going to go to Orville. She was going to come to Orville Peck. She's like, oh, by the way, I also have this other Christmas party I'm going to. Do you think you'd want to come to that? And then we can go to Orville Pex together. And I was like. You said, no, hold on. And you said, I didn't interrupt you. Right? You told me not to interrupt you.
A
You did interrupt. Shut your interruption. I have one more interruption to match yours.
B
Shut your mouth.
A
I get one more interruption. I'm using it, too.
B
No, you don't. And then. And then. So, Naomi. So now it's the day of the party, right? Naomi text me that morning. Because we. We spoke on the phone that morning. And then she sent me the flyer for a friend's thing. And I was like. I was like, let me think about it. And then later on the day, I was like. I even had the text message to prove it. I was like, hey, girl, I'm not gonna make it to that party with my feet. My feet are already, like, swollen from. Yes, because I was at something the day before.
A
I've never known you when your feet weren't swollen.
B
Let's just start with That I was like, there's never been a whole thing.
A
I was like.
B
I was like, I don't think you want me hobbling around, like, trying to, like. Because Bob is. Y' all have seen the video. Fucking TikTok.
A
I wobble.
B
I fucking hobble around, getting around. My feet fucking hurt me.
A
Waddle away. Waddle, waddle.
B
So I was like, that's gonna be too much getting. I was like, I'm gonna go to Orville Peck's party. And then Bob and I are on the phone later on in the day. The same day of the party we're on. Bob and I are on the phone talking. Bob is at home. So you and Naomi were not together. When you call me, you and I
A
were on the phone talking.
B
What?
A
But me, you and Naomi were on the phone together.
B
Okay, but y' all were not together. You were home. You are organizing something, whatever, and we're talking, talking, talking. And I was like, oh, you should go to Orville Pex party tonight. You go, like, everything Bob. The other stuff Bob said, the streets. Like, I wasn't invited. I was like, you want to come? You're like, no, I wasn't invited. I'm. I really don't feel. I just. I'm not interested in going. And then you were like, hold on, let me. Let me. Because I think Naomi called you. You're like, let me add Naomi on the call. So you. Me and Naomi were kiki. Kiki about different topics on the phone. And then y' all said, oh, we're going to this thing.
A
And.
B
And then afterwards, you're gonna go to precinct. I was like, ooh, precinct sounds fun. I was like, girl, I don't know with these feet. And I was like, I'll let y' all know later. Fast forward. I'm at the party. Godmik does pick up my phone. I didn't hear whatever transpired there. And then she has the phone, and she's like. She's like, where? We're going to precinct Gorge. And I was like, who going to precinct? I was like, girl, I'm not going to precincts. I called them back immediately. I was like, y'.
A
All.
B
I was like, my feet are hurt. I. I cannot go to precincts.
A
All you've done is confirm the story that I told, which was me and Naomi invited you somewhere. You said, no.
B
Oh, because I could not go.
A
All you've done is confirm.
B
But you also lied, said that you and Naomi called because y' all were in the car together, which is not true.
A
Okay, maybe I Mixed up the events. But the crux of the story is me and him invited you somewhere and you said no, but.
B
But that before I had said that I would probably not be able to go because of my feet.
A
But you all said you might go. All I'm saying is you, your whole, your whole thesis, your whole accusation was me and Kim about you somewhere. You said no when literally the night before me and him invited you somewhere. And you said no, no, but you
B
did the exact same thing going on.
A
And you. And by the way, you could have gone. You know, your feet didn't hurt bad enough to go to Orville. So Orville's worth ruining your feet, but not me.
B
And because Orville Peck is a sit down party of the thing. Not at precinct where with someone for. For. For meatballs. Fat Slut. She gonna take a fucking pound of fucking hot dogs and slam it on my toes.
A
There are chairs. There are chairs at precinct.
B
Not every single coming to a precinct to sit down.
A
It may shock chairs at precinct.
B
For no one is at Precinct. We're in Precinct when it's Fat slut is a big show. Everyone is standing up. It's rowdy. It's crazy.
A
I said, in fact, we, we were, we were standing up and then Naomi looked over at me and I said, I'm going to go sit down real quick. She said, are you okay? I said, yeah, girl. I just have to sit down at some point. I have to sit down. I'm not as young as you, Naomi. I can't stand all night long.
B
I was going to say women of your age, I get that. But I like to just enjoy myself and stand up and have a good time with this show. I'm not interested in sitting down at a pre.
A
Well, let's have a stand up competition now since you love stand up. I can. Come on right now. We can stand up. Let's see how great you are standing up since you're the stand up queen. Oh, I would love to have a stand up competition with you and you and I just walk around and see who can stand.
B
I'll see you at the competition in four weeks, baby. What's up, honey? Because with these new toes, I can stand 12 toes down, bitch. I got extras added.
A
You got two extra toes?
B
Two extras added, honey, so I can fuck y' all niggas up.
A
Naomi used the grip strength tester yesterday.
B
How many pounds is she?
A
I think she's like 98.
B
Work. And do you want to talk about me beating you?
A
Okay, first of all, you did not beat Me. I'll tell you what happened. First off, this is what happened. So the way the grip string tether works is you squeeze it right, but the more you squeeze it, the less strength you have. So I had already done it three times. Then Monet did it one time and then by the time I had lost. So I just want to be clear that yesterday I did it and I definitely outdid you 100%.
B
And what? What was it? What was it yesterday?
A
What is it? Jacob? Jacob has a picture of it. Be before Jacob shows the picture, you need to say yours out loud. So you can't change your number.
B
No, I was 146.8 or 146.2.
A
Jacob, please regale M exchange. And Mr. Burton.
C
Yes, we have a photo. It was 147.2.
B
And Y'. All. And let me tell you something. There's a history. No, cuz we cuz there cuz you have proven a history of doctoring images to besmirch my name and my character. So as monation and as people involved in this podcast, we know not to trust anything coming from Yalls camp.
A
And Naomi was there. We can call Naomi.
B
So no, no. Right now we're going to be on Christmas together. Bring the fucking grip tester and we're going to do it live so that there can be no editing. No, we go do it live.
A
You don't trust Naomi.
B
Now you.
A
So now you don't go to parts with Naomi.
B
I don't trust you.
A
So now you choose Orville peck over Naomi.
B
I don't trust you.
A
That is crazy. Have you seen the. The effect when you put two thumbs up on the screen, girl?
B
I don't see any effects. They don't work for me. They don't see me.
A
It doesn't always do it. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Hold on, here we go. It makes me look crazy when it doesn't work.
B
You took your. You took your jimsy off.
A
No, it fell off again. Brushing my teeth. I was brushing my teeth and I was. Then all of a sudden I was chewing on something. And listen, as someone who has chipped a tooth several times, I was very triggered. Very triggered. I was like, what is in my mouth? And I also, you know, I had decaying teeth in my 20s. And when my teeth were decaying, trigger warning. Because this could really be upsetting to someone when you're eating and then all of a sudden you are chewing something as much harder than food.
B
Stressful teeth or bones?
A
Teeth, girl teeth.
B
I know teeth Are bones. Right.
A
Teeth are not bones. You know that said nails were bones the other day?
B
Yeah. I thought teeth were like a form, a type of bone.
A
Teeth are not bones.
B
No, teeth are not bones.
A
We've had this conversation two times.
B
Teeth and bones are made of different materials. Teeth are made of enamel, dentin and pulp. Enamel is a hard shell. And bones made of.
A
Yeah. Teeth are animal. Bones are calcium.
B
Got it.
A
And nails are keratin. Keratin. From the pituitary system.
B
No, pituitary is sweat. Yes,
A
Just sweat.
B
I don't know if it's just that. No, but pituitary. Yeah. No, pituitary. Pituitary system does not include nails.
A
So what is the nails? What system is that?
B
I don't know.
A
It's not skeletal, it's not vascular, it's not pituitary. It's not muscular.
B
Oh, no. Nails are part of the ede.
A
Endocrine.
B
Yeah. Into integumentary system.
A
Obviously you should be embarrassed that you didn't know that, quite frankly.
B
Integrumentary system includes skin, nails, hair, glands, nerves.
A
Nails, hair, ass, titties. Nails, titties out of my paper long.
B
And then it's Friday night, my nigga ain't at home. It's giving her face ass. Titties. Her face ass. Also, by the way, do you know
A
what the accent is?
B
Do I know the what.
A
What that accent is?
B
She's from Louisiana, ain't she? Everyone always says that.
A
It's Memphis.
B
Memphis. Yeah. Memphis was in the.
A
I have a cousin with the same accent.
B
Who?
A
Scooter. My cousin Scooter has the same accent.
B
Scooter Braun.
A
My cousin is Scooter Braun. And Scooter Braun is famously black and from Memphis.
C
Yes.
B
So the new SZA album has come out, y', all. Which means it's my entire personality. Well, not. I mean, it's a deluxe version of her album that came out two years ago. And it's so good. So good, so good.
A
Can you explain this video to me? Let's take a break after the break. Explain this music video to me, please.
B
Which music video?
A
Explain it to me like I'm a three year old.
B
Her latest video, the drive one with Ben Stiller, I think. I think SZA has a Sza tweeted when she's watching Severance, it's like Longitude about Ben Stiller and about, like, when is season two coming out?
A
Blah, blah, blah.
B
Cause season one, like, we've been waiting,
A
like, Ben took what?
B
Severance.
A
Ben Stiller's not in Severance.
B
He directed Severance Oh, I was like,
A
ben Stiller is not in Severance.
B
I think he directed.
A
But Also, I'm staying 10 toes down with Scissors on this. When the fuck is yo.
B
January 17th.
C
Yeah, it comes out next month.
A
OK, still, because by the time this
C
episode is where Comes out a week after this episode airs.
A
Okay, good. Because me. Because if it's not, me and Scissors will be at your house dressed like butt naked bugs. We gonna get what we deserve. You can't do. You. Y' all can't do what you did. You can't do that to people. And I know there was a writer strike, but y' all should have been ready.
B
That's what he said.
A
Y' all should. Y' all should. As soon as. As soon as the agreement was made, y' all should have been hit the ground running. This is not fair to do to people who are trying to support you. This is. This is crazy.
B
Jesus.
A
This is crazy.
B
You fool. You. You have a lot of feelings about the show.
A
Severance is such a good show. Me, maybe me and sister would be best friends.
D
She.
B
So she tweeted was. Was trying to be polite, but I really need a new season of Severance right the fuck now and then. So Ben Stiller replied. He said, okay, okay, got it. And then she said, oh, my God, please accept my humble apology. Laugh my ass off whenever you're ready. It's fine. Just dying of thirst is the best show ever. You're a madman. Thank you, Mr. Cilla King, sir.
A
She said, laugh my moles off.
B
Laughs what?
A
I said, laugh my moles off.
B
She said, no, I'm a Stan. I got caught bullying. Not bullying, working. I'm calling the cops. So I think that from then and then, Ben still is like, apparently a fan of scissors. So when she did her drive video, I think she just asked him to be in it.
A
Does he have children? I don't know.
B
Does men still have children?
A
Look like his children are scissor fan age.
B
Ben Stiller kid.
A
I'm not saying that Ben Stiller couldn't
B
be a fan of this. Yeah, he has. He has two kids.
A
And how old are they? Like 27, 30.
B
I'm just. I don't know. Ben Stiller kids, He has a son and a daughter.
C
No, they were born in 2002 and 2005.
B
So that means they're in their 20s.
A
20 and 19. Oh, God, that math is hard breezy. Yeah, they are Scissor fan age.
B
Yes.
A
Our age or she younger.
B
She's our age. I think she's like, I think she's like, 34.
A
I guess she's in her 30s. Yeah.
B
Yeah, 35.
A
So. So. So Ben Stiller is driving on a. Like, in, like, a wooded road, and then sometimes he's, like, in a parking lot at some point.
B
No, no, no. He's doing donuts in the world.
A
He.
B
He gets out of the car in the street.
A
No, he does donuts. And he can't do donuts. He can't do donuts on the road. He has to donuts on the parking lot. Oh. When he's got his head, there's a point where he's, like, doing.
C
No.
A
Anyway, that's the point. Yeah, he's on a dark road, and then he just keeps driving. And then. So that's because she's a Stiller fan.
B
Yeah, she's a Ben Stiller fan.
A
And then she's a bug in the woods. But she's not singing. She's just, like, a sexy bug.
B
Yeah.
A
What's up with the bugs?
B
I think SZA really likes bugs. She's. She. She. She's. I don't know what the term is. Something more anthromorph.
A
A bug. A file.
B
No, Jacob. There's a word for it. It's something morph.
A
I feel like it's something file. When you like something, you like something file. Like. Like an eno. File is someone who really loves wine.
C
This is entomo.
A
File. Oh.
B
And boom.
A
Oh.
B
Oh, nigga, you didn't even know what it was you just said. You just said a file. And now. Now you're excited because it was a file.
A
Because I know what suffixes are.
B
She's a antim. She's an entom. File. So I think she does really bugs.
A
Can you please give me props and that? I know my suffixes. No, you said a morph. That makes sense.
B
So I think she just wanted to be a hot, sexy bug.
A
It was interesting. Then I watched another video of hers where she's, like, in a junkyard.
B
Yeah. Hit different. That's hit different.
A
And then she would just randomly be butt naked, covered in blood. Like, it was a pretty standard. It almost kind of looked like Danity Canes. You ain't gotta go to work. Work. She's, like, wearing, like, a T shirt. And then she wore, like, a tank top, and she wearing, like, pretty. It's like a standard music video. But then for, like, a second at a time, she'd just be, like, covered in blood, butt naked.
B
And I guess the question is, why, like, is it. Why is that strange?
A
Monet don't ask dumb questions. Why is. Why is dressing like. I'm not, by the way? I'm not saying.
B
Are you listening to the text of what the song is talking about?
A
What does that to do with. I don't get what it has to do with. With being covered in blood.
B
Did you listen to the text of what happened?
A
But I still don't get it.
B
Well, then if you listen to the text, you'll get it.
A
So explain. Explain it to me why she's. Why. Why it makes sense to be covered in blood. I don't remember all the lyrics. I remember listening and watching the video and I kept being. Then I got so like, oh, my God, she's in Covered in blood.
D
Yeah, because.
B
Because. Because she's talking about a love of the person that. That hits different. And then because you. Later on in the video, how hard
A
is he hitting her? And she's. She's covered in blood.
B
I mean, some people hit. Get hit very hard. Bob.
A
About domestic violence, or is it a euphemism?
B
I think it's a euphemism.
A
A metaphor. I mean.
B
Sorry. I think it's a metaphor to the trauma of something hitting, hitting different. And the trauma of loving someone in that way and the trauma that can. It's because it's like everything is good and it's like a glimpse of horror and then it comes back to being fine.
A
Yeah, I was saying 10 toes down and say the Weeknd is still s best song to this day.
B
No, I mean, we can Is a great song.
A
But also you think Renaissance is Beyonce's best album. So I can't listen to you.
B
And a lot. Some people in the comments were like, yeah, I think so too.
A
A few.
B
Yeah. But some people did.
A
Bob.
B
Just like a few people said. A few people said Lemonade. A lot of people said actually Beyonce was her best album, which. I like Beyonce.
A
That makes sense too. Saying Beyonce also makes sense. But I think. I think that you are someone who, by the way, there's nothing wrong with this. So caught up in the new thing that you're like, whatever. The new thing is my new favorite thing.
B
That's not true. I just really enjoyed Renaissance. I think also we had to look at when Renaissance came and where we were at. A lot of us were really desperate for connection from music. I think that's right.
A
I've never been desperate.
B
The reason why a lot of us. I've never thought so much was make
A
sure you recognize that I've never been desperate.
B
Good, good, great. So a lot of us were Desperate for connection, different music. And it would just add a really low point for a lot of people. That's what it's.
A
You were at a low point.
B
That's why that album resonates so good with a lot of people. Like that album. Second Beyonce album that I love is probably Beyonce. It would be, for me, Renaissance Beyonce. Lemonade.
A
I haven't seen the music video for Weekend, but the Weeknd is just a.
B
There's no. There's no music video for it. Oh, there. Sorry. There is. There is. There is one.
A
That'd been crazy.
B
Yeah.
A
First time I heard the Weeknd. Well, Drag Queen was singing it.
B
Laguna Blue was singing it, which is a great. Y' all go to. I don't know if it's on her YouTube or wherever. Laguna. Laguna Blue's cover of the Weekend is great. It's really great.
A
I saw it live, and I thought she was doing a song by the Weeknd, and I was like, the Weeknd has a song about being a side bitch? That's crazy. He could.
B
Because he's buying a. I'm gonna do the Weeknd.
A
And I was like, oh, she gonna do. She gonna do. What's she gonna do? Like, I don't feel my face when I. And then.
B
That's not the weekend. Is that weekend.
A
I'm pretty sure it's the weekend. Yeah.
B
I can't feel my face when I'm with you.
A
Yeah, this weekend. But I love it.
B
Jacob is that weekend.
A
He also does I'm a Starbucks or whatever that song is.
B
No, I'm a star boy.
A
Starboy.
B
I'm a Starbucks, I said.
A
Or something like that. Jacob, Whose things can't feel my face?
C
The Weeknd.
A
Yeah.
B
I'm a mother.
A
Wrong on. Wrong today.
B
I'm a Starbucks.
A
You're bad. No, don't try to double me. You're batting 1,000. Monet.
B
Like, we get. We. We get. Got some crazy endorsement with Starbucks. Even a song.
A
It's actually not that crazy. Product placement is not that crazy.
B
I'm a motherfucking Starbucks.
A
That's Monet. Don't try to ignore the fact that you tried to clown me for saying that wasn't his song. You try to gloss over. You are. You are batting a thousand today.
B
No, but I'm betting I did this on my flower. They look really good anyway.
A
You did what?
B
Some of my plants, they look really good. I get very excited.
A
You know, I don't. I. I don't get the desire to love plants. I just. I don't understand it.
B
I didn't either until I moved into this place. To be honest. Like in the pandemic, a lot of people got became plant dads. And Patty, specifically Patty went crazy with plants. I was like, this is too much work. But now I'm kind of into it. I think that also the older I'm getting to.
A
I don't care if a plant is dying at all. I really. I genuinely don't care. I will throw a plant away if it's. Even if it's. If I have the insinuation that's going
B
to die, I'll throw a plant away too. I'm not connected like that. I just like how they look.
A
No, some people get sad when their plants die. It's a whole thing like my plants dying. I am now a sad person.
B
Trace Lysette had her. Was this pandemic or maybe before the pandemic, Trace Lysette used to have a hole, which is a brilliant actress, by the way. Actor. Y' all should check Trace it out. If you don't know who that is. She. She used to have this whole thing with her plants and she would, like, talk to them. They all had different names and stuff. And these would be such funny content. I wish she did more plant content because it was so funny. It was hilarious.
A
Amber Wallen sings to her plants. You want to go over and sing to them with her?
B
Yeah, she does, but Amber is, like doing a full production. She's like singing fucking daddy's son. She's like, going in.
A
I feel like someone did a. An experiment where they realized that plants favor heavy metal. Yeah, I'm pretty sure someone did an experiment. They had two greenhouses side by side. One played classical music and one played like heavy death metal. And the death metal plants, almost all of them thrived more than the classical music plants.
B
Interesting.
A
Maybe plants in the forest are doing well because there's so much noise going on. Like the constant animals and the cawing and the. And the growling and the howling and the roaring. Maybe that's why plants in the forest are doing so well also because they are all connected to each other by. Under the ground.
B
Yeah, I don't think it's that loud in the forest. Like, you go to rainforest. Like, I've been through rainforest. It's not crazy loud like. Like. Like a death metal concert?
A
No, not like a death metal concert.
B
Maybe.
A
Maybe a lot in the suburbs.
B
Maybe. Maybe classical music made plants. Oh, classical music made plants grow better bushier and greener with healthier stems. Jazz music also accelerated growth and made plants Heavy metal music together with new age and eclectic tune creates both plants mass and fruity. So. So they didn't do better with heavy metal. They just had different. They had different results. Roberta. Wrong about that.
A
Okay, first of all, let's have you
B
read it one more time.
A
I want to hear you read it one more. I want to hear you read it one more time. Then say that again.
B
Classical music made plants grow better. Bushier, greener, with healthier stems. Jazz music also accelerated growth and made plants fuller. Heavy metal music together with new age and Celtic tones. Celtic.
A
Celtic tunes.
B
Celtic tunes.
A
Celtic. Celtic.
B
Well, I mean, they are the Celtics. That's literally a fucking basketball group.
A
They're not called the Celtics. They're called the Celtics.
B
That's what I said.
A
But you went. You said Celtic tone, but Celtic.
B
That's how you say. Well, that's how you talk. That there is Celtic is a thing. That is a group of people.
A
This is Celtic. Celtic.
B
Heavy metal music together with new age and Celtic tunes increase both plants mass and fruit. And fruit taste. So they did not do better on the heavy head of Metamusic. They just had different results.
A
It increased the plant mass. Meaning it grew. It grew bigger.
B
No, but at least the classic music made plants grow better. You didn't say that they grew. You didn't say the healthy. You didn't say heavy.
A
You didn't say Monet. Just say.
B
You're wrong. Music made plants grow bigger. That's not what you said.
A
Maths and fruit taste.
B
Okay, that's one metric. Classical music, two metrics. Do you want. Do you want to. Do you want to read the first sentence? Can you read the first sentence first? Can you read the first sentence? You're wrong. Read the first sentence for us. Look at the balloons and Jacob, look at the balloons. Take a screenshot of this and put it in the thing for Jake. I want the people to see what
A
they look at the balloons put in the thing, please.
B
Increase classical music made plants grow better. Bushier, greener with healthier stems.
A
Increase both plant mass and fruit taste. That makes a better plant.
B
You're insane.
A
To you, the plant mass was better.
B
To you. To you. What is plant mass?
A
The size of the plant. Like the. The trunk, the. The girth, the width, the height. All of it.
B
So you're saying a plant that has a fatter thing is a better. So just because a plant has a
A
plant, that's not a plant with a
B
fat ass, it's not. So a brown, old, nasty plant that's not doing with. With a. With. With A with a big stem is better. Where are you getting brown, nasty from bush? Okay. Classical music made plants grow better.
A
Where are you getting brown, nasty, bushier,
B
greener, with healthier stems.
A
Where are you getting brown, nasty, Bob?
B
Healthier stems means that the plants are better.
A
Do you want to apologize about one thing? First of all, you knew to the botany group, I'm going to let you say your thing, then I'm going to say my thing uninterrupted.
B
Do you want to apologize to. To all of our listeners and just admit you're wrong?
A
Do you think, first of all, do you think you can do that today? Go ahead.
B
Do you think you. Do you think that you can apologize for being wrong today, or do you think. Do you think that you can admit defeat?
A
Hold on. You keep going.
B
Do you think that you're going to admit. Do you think that there is any ounce of your being of who you are, then can admit that you were wrong about this today? That's. That's. That's a genuine question, and I'm done.
A
Like I said, first of all, you've been wrong about basically everything today. Don't stop talking. Try.
B
But can you ask my question?
A
You're not talking. I'm gonna let you talk, and then I'm gonna talk.
B
I've asked you a question. Can you answer my question?
A
I think maybe when you're done talking, maybe you will find the decency to allow me to speak.
B
I pose a question on a podcast, and the question is, do you think there is any ounce of your personhood, any ounce of who you are today on December 23, that can admit defeat and that you were wrong about the classical music versus heavy metal music experiment that you. That. That. The greenhouse experiment that you. That you spoke about. Do you think you can admit defeat and being wrong about that today? That is a question I'm asking to you. And do you think I can get an answer?
A
Do you have the ability to stop talking?
B
Can you answer my question?
A
You don't. She doesn't. I'll wait. I'll keep waiting.
B
Can you answer my question? Can you answer my question today?
A
I'm gonna wait a little longer because obviously you can't stop talking.
B
You can answer my question.
A
I just want to see if you'll stop talking.
B
I want to see if you answer my question.
A
Okay, you can't do it. If you can't stop talking.
B
I can't engage because you won't answer my question on the podcast.
A
You don't have the ability to stop talking.
B
Okay, I'M done talking if you answer my question.
A
But I. I know for a fact you won't be done. Like, you're gonna cut in, like, three, two. Oh. You're fighting every urge in your thinking.
B
Answer my question.
A
Oh, my God.
C
You.
A
The way you were just on time with interrupting is honestly kind of insane. The way you literally didn't even have the ability. You didn't have a monochrome of class to be able to stop talking for a full 13 seconds, to allow me to communicate. So I want to make this very clear. First of all, you knew nothing about the experiment I was talking about today. You knew not a single thing about what I was talking about today. Also, you don't know how to pronounce Celtic. You think that. You think that the song I was talking about earlier was written by, who knows, Elton John? You've been wrong about everything you spoke on Today. So can you admit that you've been wrong about basically every word you've said today?
B
I think I can answer that question. Once you answer that, you have the ability. I think I answered, I can give you some ability to acknowledge my question. I'll be able to answer yours.
A
Your ability shouldn't be dependent, Jacob.
B
Better mute your way. Yeah, mute everybody. All mute.
A
Jacob, did you mute me?
C
You were interrupting Monet, but you were asking Monet not to interrupt you.
A
Me and not Monet when she interrupted me the whole time. What was that about? Wait. I want to hear why you interrupt me but not Monet when she interrupted me. When she interrupted me. I want to hear. Now, Jake. I want to hear your take on why you thought that was appropriate.
C
I don't feel like Monet was interrupting you.
A
I want to hear, Jacob, why you thought it was okay to interrupt me even when I stopped speaking for Monet to talk, and then when it was my turn. But you did not have the courage to do anything about Monae when she interrupted me. Now, can you please explain your courage? The courage. Can you explain yourself now, Jacob?
C
I don't feel like Monet was necessarily interrupting you in that moment. I think she was asking for clarification.
A
I mean, when she was interrupting. Why did you not have the courage to do that then?
B
The courage is.
A
I'm just curious.
B
The courage is diabolical.
A
It seems like you wanted to silence five voices. Now I want to hear why you
C
thought I interrupted both of you.
A
Do what, Jacob?
C
I was wrong for not equally interrupting both of you, and that was bad of me. I'm very sorry. Yeah.
A
Now, Monet, admit that you're wrong. And that you don't know things.
B
When you have the. I don't know, the courage, when you have the dignity, when you possess the ability to answer my question and own up to your part in all of this and in your. When you. When you can just answer my question, then I think we can have a nice dialogue. But until then, I think our dialogue is dead.
A
I will say one thing is true about this. Everything you have is dependent on what I have. That is true. So you can't do it unless I do it. Just like with the whole career, you can't do it unless I do it first, 100%.
B
And that. So with that, I would love you to own up to that. And then you know what? You can't. And you never will.
A
Like I said, you're welcome. My. The study that I read on. You're supposed to be the plant dad. You're supposed to be the one.
B
The study was wrong.
A
You're supposed to be.
B
You're supposed to remember the study today.
A
Yesterday, Mario Poppy will be the plant queen. And on that note, thank you for coming on.
B
Thank you for coming on my show. Have a good day. Good night.
A
My show.

Hosts: Bob the Drag Queen & Monét X Change
In this hilariously chaotic episode, Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change roam from hat scandals and kitchen appliances to plant care, music experiments, and the semantics of language. While “The One About Plants” nominally focuses on plant care and what music helps plants thrive, the episode is a rollicking exchange filled with classic banter, real-time fact-checks, arguments about word pronunciations, savage shade, and trademark Sibling Rivalry energy.

[38:03–45:00]
Quote:
“Classical music made plants grow better. Bushier, greener, with healthier stems.” — Monét [42:13]
“So you’re saying a plant with a fat ass is a better plant?” — Bob [42:43]
[45:00–48:16]
As always, Bob and Monét’s banter is sharp, playful, and filled with quick wit, mock-serious arguments, and pop culture references. Their chemistry keeps even the most tangential arguments about plant mass and music genres comedic and engaging.
If you only listen for the plant talk: classical music makes plants bushier and greener; heavy metal makes them bigger and "fruitier"—but the real treat is the running feud over who’s right, who’s interrupting, and who is the true Queen of Admitting Defeat.
Perfect listen if you love:
Final word:
“Thank you for coming on my show. Have a good day. Good night.” — Monét [48:37]
