The One About Quitting

Summary

Sibling Rivalry “The One About Quitting” (April 27, 2026)

Hosts: Monét X Change & Bob the Drag Queen

---

Overview

This episode dives deep into the theme of quitting—jobs, gigs, and the concept of giving up, both professionally and in life. True to form, Monét and Bob intertwine personal experience and signature humor with candid reflections on public opinion, drag entertainment, and crafting creative performances. The conversation flows from online criticism to quitting tours, the nature of “firing,” and even designing each other’s dream pride shows. As always, their infectious camaraderie and roast-ready banter keep things sharply entertaining.

  • Monét: “No, I left.” [29:36]

• Bob recalls quitting gigs at Lucky Chang’s and The Jekyll & Hyde Club and being fired twice: at Planet Smoothie (attitude problems) and as a street fundraiser (bad at the job).
• Monét shares never having been “fired” outright but elaborates on what qualifies (vs. a show simply closing).
• Notable Story:
  • Bob recounts the only person he ever signed up for street fundraising:
    • “She was like, you need to quit this job. You gotta be better at something else.” [44:28]

• Monét and Bob take turns crafting imaginary, highly produced Pride performances for one another, complete with visuals, surprise guests, and elaborate run-of-show.
• Highlights:
  • Bob’s vision for Monét: Giant tulle boa stretching the stage, Rihanna duet, Audra McDonald guest spot, big LED effects.
  • Monét’s fantasy for Bob: Trap-door bloodbath entrance, Madonna duet, and an all-star cast including Ocean Kelly, Basit, and Todrick Hall.
• Their back-and-forth perfectly illustrates their creative synergy and playful competition for being the more “extravagant” creative director.

---

8. Fun Games & Pop Trivia

[23:50–27:50, 64:46–65:49]

Key Takeaways

• Criticism is everywhere—and even paid fan communities (like Patreon) can become echo chambers for negativity.
• Quitting and firing are part of the drag queen hustle (and showbiz life at large); quit stories often have contractual, reputational, or pandemic-related twists.
• Resilience and creativity shine through: Both hosts adapt, laugh, and keep scheming on how to make the most of every step in their careers, even in the face of rejection or “failure.”
• No topic is off-limits: Expect pop culture tangents, tongue-in-cheek shade, and cathartic banter about both personal and public life.
• The chemistry between Bob and Monét keeps even the heaviest subjects light, funny, and insightful, making this episode a must-listen for drag fans and anyone who’s ever fantasized about quitting (or firing) their own job.

[B]

My name is Bob the Drag Queen

[D]

and I'm Monet x Change.

[B]

And this is Sibling Rivalry.

[D]

On this week's episode, we talk about quitting.

[B]

We plan each other's pride shows.

[D]

And we find out what made Bob say this.

[B]

You don't respect my religion. And we find out what made Monet say this.

[D]

Madonna is not playing.

[B]

Do you read the comments?

[D]

Yeah, I do.

[B]

Can we talk about the comments?

[D]

About which one?

[B]

The comments on the Patreon. I had to make a post. It was out of control.

[D]

I saw your post.

[B]

It was madness. I had to. Something must have to be said. It was getting crazy. Those of you on the Patreon, hello.

[D]

How are you?

[B]

Welcome back to Sibling Rivalry. And this is Sylvie Wyvern. It's not Sylvie Walter, but the comment section. But I think it is a microcosm of the real world because the comment section has always been crazy. But the comment section done got Cud crickety Snickety tazy crazy on them.

[D]

Yeah. There are a few things that I think perturb people online. They feel they need to sound off a little more about.

[B]

How did you feel about it?

[D]

I thought in regard to. Well, I guess the episode is out now. The one with our therapist. Our therapist. The one we did with the therapist. We started out saying it was for entertainment purposes only. And I mean, people. I think the most egregious part was I feel like they were insulting our guest, which was not cool.

[B]

Which has kind of been ongoing. So for me, it started back with Selena. Oh, well, that was way back. But there was a big calm down then with Selena. It was pretty crazy.

[D]

Cause they were like, ugh, Selena again.

[B]

And then with PJ and Corey King, the comments were. There were also not kind. And then with.

[D]

But then it was. See, it was people who have. It was people who had not even seen the episode yet. They just saw the thumbnail. They were like, ugh. And then people watched it. Like, actually, I watched it.

[B]

That was good. But I think after like the comments. Cause on YouTube is one thing, but in the Patreon, I was gagged. So I think after four of our guests have been like, berated, I was like, something needs to be said. But it was nice to see that, like, a lot of people were like, you know, I don't normally comment, but I came to say, like, that's not all of us. And I actually do appreciate what's going on here, but it is not. It is not like a. Everybody.

[D]

Everybody in the club getting tips.

[B]

Did you like that song?

[D]

I did. I wasn't like, oh my God, this song. But I liked it. I danced with at a few school dances. I loved it.

[B]

Everybody in the club getting tipsy.

[D]

Where is he from? That was Jquan, right?

[B]

Erbody sounds Memphis.

[D]

He was j'. Quan.

[B]

I'm not sure.

[D]

Can we Google it was Jacob Jaquan

[B]

who wrote Everybody in the club Getting Tipsy.

[D]

J'.

[B]

Quan.

[D]

Everybody in the club getting tipsy.

[B]

It sounds like everybody.

[D]

Definitely the south, not the North.

[B]

I'm going to say that he's from Memphis, Tennessee.

[D]

J'. Quan.

[B]

And we're going to. And we're going to find out where he's from. J' Quan is where he was born.

[D]

He's from Alberta. Canada? No, St. Louis.

[B]

St. Louis, Missouri. Ms. Arai, I was just in Kansas City.

[D]

KCMO.

[B]

KCMO is where you can find me.

[D]

Your sister's from Mohart.

[B]

Mo Hart. I don't know that we're sisters.

[D]

What would you be then?

[B]

We are contemporaries.

[D]

She looks very pretty on the Pit Stop.

[B]

Mohart pretty much across the board, always looks quite stunning.

[D]

And I thought that her mustache would be like, whatever, but honestly, I kind of like it. Cause she's dyed it. Like, I didn't watch the episode. I saw the thumbnail or the thing that the Pitstop Channel posts like this guest.

[B]

You don't support Bianca?

[D]

No, nothing. She does. Okay. Not her tours, not anything. I will never go see her.

[B]

Will she ever guess you on the Pitstop?

[D]

Yes, twice.

[B]

And how was she? Lovely.

[D]

Yeah, she was lovely.

[B]

But you don't support her?

[D]

No.

[B]

Have you ever seen one of her tours? Really?

[D]

Girl, I've Seen like three of them.

[B]

I mean, you see one damn.

[D]

Can I tell you. So because Andy's out of town, so I'm sleeping for him along.

[B]

So you seem rested and like happy and like in high spirits. That's a comment. You seem like you're happy. That was a side note. That was a completely separate.

[D]

Get your man.

[B]

That was a separate comment. Anyway, I was starting a new conversation.

[D]

Anyway. Anyway, so when I. When I'm home, I like. I like to sleep with the TV on. Andy doesn't.

[B]

I love. Go ahead. Sorry. Cause they all cutting Monet bread.

[D]

I love sleeping with the TV on. So when Andy's on here, I get to sleep with the TV on. So last night I was watching I saw for Good in theaters. Full disclosure. I went to go see the movie and I was a little tired, so I did fall asleep, like towards the end.

[B]

You go to sleep with me and Wicked.

[D]

I know something about the movies. In a cool, dark, quiet place. I fall asleep.

[B]

I can have three days sleep.

[D]

I will fall asleep watching a movie. It's not an indictment of the movie. It's my own thing.

[B]

Well, it's like. I mean, if you watch tv, go to sleep, then that makes sense.

[D]

Yeah. So I fell asleep watching for good. And it was my favorite song, Fiyera,

[B]

which she doesn't do.

[D]

Yeah, well, she didn't do that long. But she does it. She says fiyara. And then. But I woke up too.

[B]

I can't remember. I don't even remember. But I know there's something that was.

[D]

No, she does. It's not the Idina Menzel Fierro. It's not that.

[B]

Excuse me.

[D]

What?

[B]

The Eden Espinosa.

[A]

So in the movie, they change it.

[B]

The.

[A]

The original. In the musical, it goes from.

[B]

Oh, yeah, Ar.

[A]

Glinda says, fiero, Fiero. And then it cuts to Elphaba going Fiero in the movie.

[B]

No. How does El do it?

[A]

I'm not going to. I don't have what it takes. In the movie, that Fiera part is all Ariana Grande. So it.

[D]

She.

[A]

She's going Fiero. And then it's Ariana Grande. It's Elphaba is flying. And then I think maybe she does a shorter, different version of it as she's landing in.

[B]

Kev, you remember in the stage play, you've seen Wicked? Yeah. In the stage play, Fiyero's being taken off, showing that he's a scarecrow. And then Glinda yells, fiero, Fiyero. And then Elphaba comes from the ground. With the Grimory. The Grimoire.

[D]

The Grimoire. Where is the Grim? The Grimory is something else.

[B]

No, it is the Grimoire. It is the. So a Grimoire and a Grimory are the same thing. They just say things funny and wicked.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

I thought it was actually pronounced grimory.

[A]

So when we were playing Blood in the Clock Tower, he kept the Grim to the Grimoire as the Grim.

[D]

And also in Sabrina the Sabrina the Dark Sereno. Netflix, they called it the Grimoire.

[B]

Yes, that's the actual word. Wicked. Just, you know, fabulous.

[D]

Got it.

[B]

That's when she comes out and she was doing that damn spellika naomon Elica nominatu. Elica Elika. What good is this chanting?

[D]

I don't.

[B]

I don't even know what I'm reading. I don't even know what trikai. I'll teach you. That was a sleep spell for you. MBN and mb N N N N B.

[D]

But let me tell you. But because I woke up, I was like. I don't know what. Full disclosure, I just took an edible last night, so. Bitch.

[B]

I woke up. You were on marijuana.

[D]

I was shock. I woke up and I had a moment. I was like. Cause I had the volume so loud. You're in Mesopotamia. I woke up.

[B]

I was like, I woke up.

[D]

I was gagged. It took me like a solid 10 seconds to real. And what was going on? I was. I like shocked myself in sleep.

[B]

I've had a few moments where I wake up in a panic.

[D]

Vav you anytime you wake up. What do you mean a few times?

[B]

That's true. We have footage of. We have audio of me waking up.

[D]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like when you wake up, I feel like oftentimes I always go back to 945Amsterdam. Every time I walk into Vaugh's apartment, you.

[B]

Yo, Monet was. I was in my home alone. And then Monet ass is there with deep fried Oreos and a multi meat pizza standing over me wearing. By wearing tums. So imagine if you went to sleep in your home by your mind you by yourself. I foolishly gave money a key back then and we'll never do that again. And then I wake up and Monet is a drag queen that you met.

[D]

A drag queen, queen of drag that

[B]

you met two years ago is standing over you, hovering smacking on pizza real heavy. That was on the fourth floor.

[D]

I got tired.

[B]

I was like, lord, let me pray.

[D]

Lord, let me pray. Lord Jesus, pray with me. When they. Pray with me.

[B]

Pray with me, Lord Jesus, pray.

[D]

Please Help this woman. That's your task.

[B]

What the hell?

[D]

That's your task.

[B]

Shut the fuck up. You don't know what my. You hold your fucking belly. I am a. I'm religious now. I'm quite religious now. You can't make fun of me for being religious. You don't respect my religion.

[D]

I don't. You have no religion.

[B]

If I would turn Christian, you wouldn't support me.

[D]

You would not turn Christian. There is not a.

[B]

Your task was. You had to say the eloquenomina.

[D]

No.

[B]

Yes, it is.

[A]

That was not her task.

[D]

That was not my task.

[B]

Are you trying to get me to say it?

[D]

No.

[B]

Anyway, I love when someone. Well, usually someone I'm dating. Not like, actually. Well, I don't really have situations where I'm sleeping. I'm thinking, do I have situations very often I'm sleeping in the same room as someone that I'm not dating, and I don't have that.

[D]

Do you ever let hookup sleep over?

[B]

I let one hookup sleep over. His name is Jacob, and I let the other hook over. Sleepover. Sleepover. Hookup. Sleepover. His name is Tao.

[D]

But when you hook up outside of Jacob and Tao, do you live a sleepover?

[B]

I'm telling you, the last two hookups. Sleepover were Tao and Jacob.

[A]

But sometimes you do a sleepover, huh?

[D]

You sleep over at hookup's house?

[B]

No. What are you talking about? I didn't sleep over. I drove back. You were asleep.

[A]

Oh, damn. You drove back late, Bitch.

[B]

I was gonna stay out there.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

We wasn't gonna stay out there. Also, it was a small bed.

[D]

Who was it? Can you tell me? Yeah, it was.

[B]

It was that guy that he stuck up with. The tall Mexican guy that used to work with it.

[D]

Oh, God.

[A]

When did you get home?

[B]

Huh?

[A]

When'd you get home?

[B]

It was pretty. It was like, maybe like three or four, maybe, which is really. I mean, I'm a nightlife. I'm a creature of the nightlife. That is not that late for me, girl.

[D]

I'm telling you now. I'm in my late mid-30s.

[B]

Late, late.

[D]

I'm in my late mid-30s. I am. My clock starts. I really start to deplete by, like, 11, 11:30.

[B]

Tal sleeps with the TV on. And I really like it. It just helps me sleep.

[D]

I love the TV on.

[B]

You know what's also great about having your partner sleep with the TV on when you fall asleep? I can use my phone.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

You know who sleeps in absolute silence in a vacuum of darkness? I Found out me and Jacob, we're not bedroom compatible or sleep compatible. It took seven years, but I found out we're not sleep compatible. Jacob sleeps in a. In a. In a her. What's that?

[A]

Hermetically sealed.

[B]

Hermetically sealed cave. It's crazy.

[D]

Well, the thing about. I don't think Andy. Andy thinks that he's deaf, but he's not. Cause Andy falls asleep with stuff on, but when he knows that it's on, he's like, we have to put the TV on, but he'll, like, fall asleep. But, like, when he. When we're, like, going to bed, he was like, okay, we have to power down. Everything has to be off. I'm like, but you fall asleep with it on. Like, you don't. You don't need it off. You just want it off.

[B]

Tao also can't stay awake while watching things. He'll be like, you want to watch a movie? I'm like, yeah, but by the time the lion roars, I don't think he's ever seen a lion roar. I don't think he even knows that lions were in the movie.

[D]

Do you know it's not a lion. It's a tiger.

[B]

I told you that I know why.

[D]

You see? Why?

[B]

So why are you asking me if I know something?

[D]

I told you. I just see if he remembered. Why do you have to be so aggressive?

[B]

Why are you asking me if I know something that I told you? If I asked you? Did you know? Did you know you're from Brooklyn?

[D]

That's not the same.

[B]

Did you know you were born in Brooklyn?

[D]

I was actually born in Brookdale.

[B]

Where's Brookdale?

[D]

A little off of the. Brooklyn.

[B]

Queens is off of Brooklyn. You're lying. But you think I'm not from New York. I lived there for 12 years.

[D]

You have five minutes to complete your task.

[B]

I've tried. It's cooked.

[D]

I think I can get mine done in time. And you still have no idea.

[B]

You're not gonna get it done, though. Cause you're not slick. These are just very. Yesterday, our tasks were very easy. This is very brutal.

[D]

I want everyone to. I hope. I can't wait for the episode to come out so people see how Jacob tried to confuse me. Also, we started.

[B]

That was not confusing.

[D]

Also, we started a podcast, and you were talking to me, and I was trying to read it.

[B]

I say Jacob's trying to confuse you

[D]

because you and the sneaky little boyfriend are always trying to get me.

[B]

Jacob has done nothing but be on your side and work wonderfully with you. You also should be so lucky that Jacob is in your life just like I am. Can you use the table?

[D]

That's not a table.

[B]

Also one you're going, it says you can.

[D]

You could put it there. But it's not a table.

[B]

Also it's not a table. You're correct, it's a stand. But you are going to leave that here. So don't leave that here. You always leaving your protein water. I think you almost left those disgusting smelling pork chips or your chicken chips.

[D]

First of all, I haven't made those in like months.

[B]

President. What did Ocean Kelly call you? The president of the protein pandemic. The president of the protein.

[D]

Protein is the tea.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, we all need protein.

[D]

Obviously we don't need protein.

[B]

Yes you do.

[D]

You wanna.

[B]

No, you can't live without protein.

[D]

We need to get. Girl, have you seen this look? Maxing young men thing is getting out of control. I've been in like a. Yeah, I

[B]

got a whole video coming about it.

[D]

YouTube. It is insane. Girl, these kids are like taking, they're bone smashing. And also now they've seen how to take tenolin.

[B]

I don't know what that is.

[D]

This steroid. And these 15, 16 year old little boys are injecting themselves with steroids to get big muscles in like high school, like freshmen in high school. It's insane.

[B]

Yeah, sounds crazy.

[D]

It's going out of cur. And then one was like, yeah, my mother, I told my parents, like, they can't stop me, I'm gonna do it. Even if they. I'm like, I'm like. In what world can your parents not stop you to get you to inject yourself with steroids?

[B]

Also young people are gambling now on

[D]

the cow sheet thing, what's it called?

[B]

Cowsheet.

[D]

We can bet on anything. You bet on the weather, you can bet on.

[B]

How is that legal?

[D]

I don't know.

[A]

It's legally there. There's a distinction there. It's a predictive market instead of a gambling thing. So currently it's being going through the courts, but right now it exists in a legal loophole where it's not legally gambling. It's something else.

[B]

So the teenage boys are doing, are breaking their bones doing steroids. They are doing steroids. They're getting hair transplants in their early 20s.

[D]

That's crazy.

[B]

They are gambling.

[D]

I mean I could have, I could have benefited from early 20s, but some

[B]

of them are like, like literally like

[D]

there's one full of hair. Not like they're not receding.

[B]

Yeah, they're like getting like getting hair transplants when you have a full head of hair.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

That's crazy.

[D]

Yeah. This is our girl. I feel like as a society, we are so cooked. It feels like we're living in this crazy time. Like this upside down. Like it's kind of wild the time we're living in. But then you think back to like, I don't know, the 90s. Did people our age now think, like, stuff in the 90s was crazy when, like, hip hop, they're like, this hip hop nigga's crazy.

[B]

They did, they did. But this is crazy though.

[D]

But is it?

[B]

Yes.

[D]

30 years, 40 years from now, will we look back and be like, ah,

[B]

you have a point there. Showing ankle used to be crazy. Who showing ankle.

[D]

Showing ankle, right?

[B]

Used to be crazy. If a girl hit you with one of these, Ooh, everyone shoulder. Everyone in the room bricked up.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

[D]

Ray is one of these new artists that I really knew. She's been around for a while, but this is not her second album.

[B]

How old is she?

[D]

No, Ray used to do, like, pop hits.

[B]

How old is she? Ray is like.

[D]

I think she's like 20s, 29. But Ray had like a Contra 28. Ray used to. Yeah, she used. She used to like. She had a bunch of like. Like, you know, like when Calvin Harris put like a female vocal on his thing. Yeah, she had a few hits like that before, and then she came out of her dead deal and she lost a deal. But anyway, this new album is such great music. It is so artistic. It is so beautiful, the journey she takes you on. And I heard someone had a really shady critique of, like, shady or shitty? Shady. Shitty and shady. How long is she gonna play the same angle about the club and the drugs and blah, blah, blah.

[B]

What'd you say with the club? I listened to the album. I don't remember coming to the club.

[D]

Maybe I missed it. Well, it's kind of like a storyline through her old album. Like, you know, she's talking about, like, you know, she had addiction to use problems and getting broken.

[B]

Oh, they said something about her being like the Amy Winehouse or something.

[D]

Yeah, and like escapism and so anyway, so. And it was like, I'm like, that's her story, girl. Like, she's singing about what she knows. She's singing about what she experienced. And I find it, you know, I can't necessarily relate to it, everything that she experienced, but she sings from such an honest place. And the way that she uses instrument and vocals to paint these really vivid pictures of her music, I think is next level. It's something unlike I've seen a really long time.

[B]

Do you think maybe she'll invite you to something?

[D]

I would.

[B]

Since the it's out on round. It's like rap on round.

[D]

You don't know that.

[B]

She text me Cher. Cher asked me to stop being rude about her on the podcast.

[D]

Cher quit like 19 times. Or farewell toward 19 times.

[B]

No, I mean, Randall's not inviting you anywhere.

[D]

No, I think she will.

[B]

She texts me about it.

[D]

Oh, really?

[B]

And actually, if you stop me, you

[D]

can't read on camera. And also. And we're putting a screenshot right now.

[B]

Yeah, of course. All right. This is. She's in my phone as Robin.

[D]

Robin.

[B]

Okay. Yeah. Rob, actually.

[D]

Rob.

[B]

All right. Hey, Bob.

[F]

Good to see you.

[A]

The accent.

[B]

Oh, yeah, Bob. Good to see you. Great to be listening to the pod once again. Question. Could you ask the Jamaican one to start being rude about me on the podcast? Love. Robbie.

[D]

Robbie. So it was. It was Robin.

[B]

I have her in my phone, Rob.

[D]

But she likes what she signs.

[B]

Robbie. Yeah, all of her close friends know this.

[D]

Okay. How do you spell Robbie?

[B]

R, O, B, I, E, I, E. Yeah. This she went by as, like, a kid.

[D]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[B]

It makes her feel like she's back in the islands.

[D]

What island was that again?

[F]

Barbados.

[D]

And what are they called?

[B]

The Andes? No, the Greaves.

[A]

People from Barbados.

[B]

The Bajans. She's Bajan.

[D]

Okay, it's not Bajan, like, the color. Bajan.

[B]

I said Bajan.

[D]

What is it?

[B]

Bajan.

[D]

Bajun? Bajan.

[B]

Beijing.

[D]

Yes. B is B.

[B]

Just say it without, like.

[D]

B.

[B]

No, just say it without emphasizing. Put it in a sentence. Just say it.

[D]

Rihanna is Bajan.

[B]

Rihanna's Bajan.

[D]

But you're saying Bajan, like.

[B]

Yeah, Bajan.

[D]

No, it's B.

[B]

A, J, A, N. There's no J in Barbados.

[D]

But that's how you say Bajans.

[B]

What are people from Paris called?

[D]

Parisians.

[B]

Give me a place and then we're.

[D]

Thank you.

[B]

I didn't say you're wrong, but clear. I never said you were wrong to be clear.

[D]

But you're saying it. B, E, I, G, E, N. Bajin.

[B]

We're going to name a place, and we're going to name what those people are called. Jacob, we're ready. You're gonna name the place. We're gonna tell you what people from that place are called. Some of them are like, for example, what are people from Brooklyn called?

[D]

New Yorkers.

[B]

Criminals. Okay, no, but, like. But so a Brooklyn. It's like a.

[D]

You say Brooklynites.

[B]

A Brooklyn and a Harlemite.

[D]

I've never said people from Harlem. So I guess.

[B]

What are people from Atlanta called?

[D]

Hawks.

[B]

No, this is actually kind of debate. This is a very millennial thing. But we used to be at Aliens. We were.

[D]

That's so corny. At Aliens.

[B]

Oh, and Brooklyn. Ice is so cool.

[A]

Okay. Glasgow.

[B]

Glaswegians.

[D]

Glasgowans.

[A]

Glaswegians.

[D]

Did you know that? Really?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Or you was at a guess.

[B]

I knew. I knew. I met two guys from Edinburgh last night.

[D]

Edinburgh? Yeah.

[B]

I didn't tell him I had. I didn't. I thought. I actually really, like, metered myself, but my gut Reaction was to say I had a really racist interaction in Edinburgh, but I didn't. I just said I went to Edinburgh and I went to Arthur's Seat and Taylor and I don't know if you can see me wanting to be like, I had a racist thing happen to me, but I was like, welcome. Thank you. I'm glad you guys had fun at the show.

[D]

Okay, where's next?

[A]

Winnipeg.

[B]

I think they're Winnipegans.

[D]

Yeah, they're, I think, I think they're Winnipegans.

[B]

I think Winnipeggers. I thought they were Winnipegs.

[D]

Winnipegans.

[A]

Bob is correct.

[B]

Winnipeggers, yeah.

[D]

Did you know that as you get.

[B]

No, I, I, I heard Winnipegans and it sounded weird and I just like, I think Winnipeggers. Winnipeggers. Sounds right. So that was deductive reasoning.

[A]

Okay, Quebec City.

[D]

Quebecians.

[B]

Quebec. It's gonna sound, yeah, that's, that's right. It is. That is, that is correct. It's gonna sound French for sure. Even with maybe one more.

[A]

Okay. Gotham City.

[D]

Gothamites.

[B]

No, wait, I've heard Harvey Dent call them this before.

[D]

Harvey Dent. That's two Face.

[B]

Yeah, he said it in, like, a video. Gotham, you say Gothamites.

[D]

That's what I said.

[B]

Gothams.

[A]

It's Gothamites.

[B]

Oh, Gotham.

[D]

Two for two. Two. Two. We will have two.

[B]

That's not. Is your two. We're two for three.

[D]

No, you had, you had Glasgow and

[B]

we did three, so we're two for three.

[D]

But I have two, you have two

[B]

and we did four, so we're two for four.

[D]

Meaning, like, I like, like two. My two. We both have two.

[B]

I don't know what two for two means. Two for two means you did it twice and you got. And you nailed it twice.

[D]

We need a tiebreaker is what I'm trying to say.

[B]

What I want to ask you is this question. This is something that me and Taylor. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But I do need you to settle a score between me and Taylor, which I've won every time, but you're going to settle the score for me.

[A]

I'm trying to find a good.

[B]

He's mad because he knows he's cooked. You know what I'm talking about? Oh, across the street. Yeah. Jerome Ass Eyes.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Rest in peace.

[A]

What about. Liverpool?

[B]

I mean, my mind says Liverpool, but no, they're Scousers.

[D]

Scousers.

[A]

This says Liverpudlian.

[D]

Liverpoolians. Yeah.

[B]

Aren't they Scousers?

[D]

I mean, yeah, but I think Scousers is not just Liverpool. There's another thing that's Scoused.

[B]

I think Scouser is Liverpool, but I

[D]

think there's like three cities that are Scouser. It's not just Liverpool.

[B]

Oh, got it. Okay.

[D]

So rest in peace, everybody.

[B]

If I tell you that hanging on the wall there would be a giant practical purse, what am I telling you?

[D]

That you can open it and use it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Why is it one in there not practical?

[B]

That is exactly what that means, bro.

[D]

Is it one in there not practical?

[B]

It is not practical.

[D]

And you thought it was going to be?

[B]

Well, I was told practical, like 3D. Taylor is saying, like, practical means 3D. No, I think practical means.

[D]

Practical means you can use it.

[B]

You can use it. Yeah.

[A]

If you want it to be 3D,

[B]

then you would say it's 3D, but you say I. But it's a practical set. Like, when you're building, a practical set can be used. So for example, like. For example, you have, like a practical bar. You can actually put someone behind there, grab drinks, put them up on a thing. But if the bar is just like, you can't even walk behind it.

[D]

That's not.

[B]

That's not a practical bar. But it's a practical set because it's brought to life. So it's like, no, no, Taylor, everyone has told you this is not practical is when it can be used a practical purse. Everyone's like, oh, yeah, you can open it. Like, literally everyone's like, oh, you mean open it. The easiest question I've ever answered.

[D]

And Taylor, you know, I. You know, I hate. I hate, hate, hate Simon Vaugh.

[B]

Hate, hate, hate your hair and makeup.

[D]

I can't.

[B]

Every time. Every. I. I know I've said with podcast before, but I know that has to. I bet they made her want to quit drag at one point. You wanted to quit drag?

[D]

She literally walked off the show. Girl, she did quit drag.

[B]

She quit a gig. Have you ever quit a gig?

[D]

Um, yes.

[B]

Oh, when?

[D]

Where? Why? I quit two gigs.

[B]

You quit two gigs?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

And they were like a running gig or during the gig.

[D]

During the gig.

[B]

What? How did I know about this?

[D]

Bob, you do know about it.

[B]

Okay, tell me. I must have forgot.

[D]

Okay, there was the Murray and Peter tour when I got.

[B]

No, you were fired.

[D]

No, I left.

[B]

Well, that's what their social media says.

[D]

I literally left. And you know I left.

[B]

So why does social media say something different?

[D]

Because you know how messy and petty and messy they are. So don't act branded.

[B]

You want to look them in the camera. You know they're watching.

[D]

I love. I love how you make this so messy.

[B]

Anyway, you can just say Whatever you want.

[D]

They're watching anyone in these little podcasts. What it was was I was on the Mary and Peter Haters Rose tour, myself, Jinx Monsoon, Latrice Royale, Trinity, the Tuck, Ginger Minj, and somebody else. And I was on there for, like, I had just joined the store. I was on there for three days. And then I got the call to be in the Madonna God control. God control music video. And then, you know, part of all of our deals with tours, gigs, whatever, there's always a clause that says that in the event of television filming, whatever, I reserve the right to, like, discuss and whatever. And then so my management contacted Murray and Peter, and they're like, hey, Monet has the opportunity to be in the Madonna video. She would miss this one show in Denver, but shoot back to next city.

[B]

This is Monet in the video right here. Oh, yeah, right, Jay.

[D]

For 1.2 seconds, but you're in it. Which, by the way, no shade to your girl Madonna. But they were like, monet's gonna.

[B]

What'd they say?

[D]

Monet's gonna have a feature on the

[B]

music video with Madonna.

[D]

So I was like, oh, this is really appealing. I get to dance with, like. I get to be Have a feature moment with the iconic Madonna in a video.

[B]

Did you dance with her?

[D]

It was like, for, like, girl. Literally, no.

[B]

But in this filming where you're dancing together, no.

[D]

Did you meet her when she reviewed all our looks? Cause Madonna is not playing. You walk on set, every look. She made the entire extras, dances. Everyone stood in the line, and she went down and looked at everyone's outfit and approved everyone. Like, my thing.

[B]

This is all I can confirm. I've done this for a lot of times in a row. You all stand on stage or wherever you are, and she walks by every single person there is. I don't. I mean, as far as I know, I don't know when it started, but there has never been a person in a Madonna video where she did not see everything they were wearing before they got in front of the camera.

[D]

Yeah, so we did that. And then. So that negotiation is going on. We're still like two cities before it happens.

[B]

What did she say to you when she came down?

[D]

She was. I don't remember.

[B]

Did you say her name?

[D]

Yeah, she said Monet and she said yes or she'd approved or she like. Yeah. And so this is like a dangerous butcher skin. Did I touch her skin?

[B]

Did you have physical contact?

[D]

No, we did not embrace or anything like that. Okay. Yeah.

[B]

And then.

[D]

So it was the day Before. And then the negotiations are happening. My management's talking to Murray and Peter, whatever. Then I'm getting dressed for the show before the day before I'm supposed to leave. And Murray comes in or Peter comes in, like, we heard that you want to.

[B]

I know you're doing the Voice.

[D]

We know that you're here. And you want to go to do that Madonna video, don't ya?

[B]

That's a really good Murray.

[D]

And I was like, yeah, it's a really good opportunity. He's like, well, you know, you can't leave. And I was like, what do you mean I can't leave? And they're like, you're on this tour. You can't leave this tour.

[B]

He's like, have you heard of slavery?

[D]

And I was just like. I didn't engage. I was like, well, I'm talking to my management now. We're gonna figure it out. And he was trying to be pretty adamant, like, I can't leave. And then I got on the phone with David and Jacob, and I was like, what do I do? And they were like, if you wanna do this thing, you should do it and just get your bags. Leave the next city. We'll figure it out. And I left. And then I was on set doing it without a music video, and I saw the Instagram post about how Monet Xchange had decided to leave this tour, and now she's fired. Da, da da, da.

[B]

So did you quit or were you fired? Cause you didn't leave under the pretence that you couldn't come back. Well, I. Cause I think when you quit, you leave. Like, I am not coming back.

[D]

Well, I quit on there.

[B]

On.

[D]

When they did the Christmas tour. I quit that one.

[B]

You quit them twice?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

The same people twice?

[D]

Yes. This is the next year.

[B]

Why'd you quit this time?

[D]

It was a Christmas tour. It was Christmas tour of 2020, and then Covid was in rare form, and we're on the tour, and they were not testing people on the tour. This was the same tour where they left Shea in Omaha, Nebraska.

[B]

We're spilling tea tonight.

[D]

Shea got. Shea got Covid on the tour. Allegedly.

[B]

You're spilling everybody's tea.

[D]

I mean, look, Shayden is not a secret about that. She got sick on the tour, and they left her behind.

[A]

Allegedly.

[B]

Allegedly. It's a fact. This is Jacob trying his best to protect you legally, and you were fighting every tooth and nail. You're like, no, you can just say allegedly, Monet. It'll be fine if you just say,

[D]

I was allegedly on the Mer and Peter Christmas tour in 2020. And they allegedly were not testing people adequately.

[B]

This is like back when we used to give the advice on the podcast. And I'd be like, we're not. I am. Take my. I'm like, Monet, for legal purposes, just say allegedly.

[D]

I would say. The only thing I was an expert

[B]

on was you started saying that, but then you be like, nuh, I'm an expert. Anyway, go ahead. So they allegedly left. Lor Mama.

[D]

They allegedly were testing people on this tour adequately with COVID So they allegedly had to leave. Oh, your background is cute, Jacob. So they allegedly had to leave Shea Coulee in Omaha, Nebraska, with her assistant. Allegedly. Allegedly. And then. And then I was like, this is crazy. And I was like. So, like, two cities later, I was like, hey, guys, I hit my management up. I was like, I'm gonna lead this tour. I was like, I can't afford to get sick. They're allegedly not testing people. I don't allegedly wanna get sick.

[B]

Well, a question is. I do have a question. Do you take a person with COVID with you?

[D]

You're not supposed to, but they weren't testing everyone else on the thing, so

[B]

you know what I'm saying? Like, the leaving Shea behind, was that a bad thing?

[D]

It wasn't a bad thing.

[B]

Okay. Not been left behind before.

[D]

But my concern was that we weren't testing people. So I was like, we're gonna get more casualties. And I didn't want to get Covid.

[B]

I was supposed to be on season one of Z Way.

[D]

I was, too. We were supposed to do the episode together. Did you know that?

[B]

No, we weren't.

[D]

I'm telling you. I literally.

[B]

I'm telling you, Monet, I was already on set. I was. Me and Kati on set together.

[D]

It was supposed to be me and you, but.

[B]

Oh, that makes more sense.

[D]

But I canceled weeks before because I had a thing that happened. So me and.

[B]

Me and Kati were on set, and they came into my little dressing area, like, you need to leave. And I was like, well, they were like, you need to leave. Everyone's, like, standing way back wearing their mask. And I came there like a nice black Suburban. I left in the Uber Mobile. No, the COVID Mobile. It is a yellow taxi that. The back is completely encased in plastic with a vent going to the outside. And it was February. It was freezing, so the air is still getting in there. So I was, like, freezing. Me and Kennedy both got Covid, and then they also would not buy me a ticket. Home until I tested.

[D]

Well, that makes sense. You shouldn't be flying.

[B]

This is not a thing that did anything bad. I'm just stating it.

[D]

I'm just saying. Yeah.

[B]

They wouldn't buy my ticket home until I tested negative. So I stayed in the hotel delirious with COVID It was a pretty bad.

[D]

How long were you there?

[B]

I think five, six days. And at the time, my mother was like harassing Jacob online. Not online, through. Through text. About. About me having Covid. She was like. Because I couldn't really talk on the phone, I was like falling asleep and like, it felt.

[D]

It, it.

[B]

It felt like I was in there forever. Those are five days. It's like I was in there literally for. If you guys want to see when it was, it is on the first Impressions with Kandy Muse. I'm wearing a blue caftan and an afro. It was during this time filming from that hotel. And my mother was like, Jacob, please get Christopher some Gatorade and soup. Send him soup. He won't answer the phone. He needs soup. Okay.

[A]

Well, also the full story is that she was calling you so often to check in that you got annoyed and stopped answering her calls.

[B]

And I was like, yeah, she mumbled it with like everybody. My mother, like every couple of minutes. She was not. Maybe I would say every hour. And at the. And after like 8 o', clock, every two hours.

[E]

Wow.

[B]

To like make sure I was still alive.

[D]

Covid was a wild time.

[B]

Insane.

[D]

categorize yourself as a quitter?

[B]

I have quit a few jobs. My dad quit Lucky Chang's. Oh. I quit the Jekyll and High Club. The real estate company I was working for just folded underneath me. I went to work one day and the. Everything was gone. I have been fired from a lot of jobs. I. I'm. I'm a. I'm a fiery.

[D]

I've never been fired.

[B]

I've been fired.

[D]

I've been fired. One time.

[B]

I. Well, is it firing if, like, the show's not doing well and they just. In the show that's not being fired, it's fired.

[D]

So.

[B]

So if a Broadway show closes, everyone got fired.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

No, that's not how that works. The show just closed.

[D]

Were you in a Broadway show that got fired?

[B]

I was in a barber show where they announced it was closing when I was in the show.

[D]

Yeah, the week that was. That was crazy. Can I say something? I wanted to do.

[B]

What did you want to do? What did you want to do? So.

[D]

So Bacus and Bulharu Laruges.

[B]

The Variety article comes out saying the

[D]

Boulevard disclosing at what shady is that

[B]

they used your picture. Yeah, I remember.

[D]

So I went and Took a TikTok and it goes to town. Yo, y' all want to see a dead body?

[B]

And I was going to cut to the Variety article with the thing.

[D]

I was like, no, I won't do that. That's shady. I reserved myself. Which, by the way, you would not offer me the same courtesy. No, you would have done something probably shadier to me.

[B]

Well, to be clear, when a Broadway show is announced as closing, it's usually two weeks or less. Me being in that show allowed them to extend.

[D]

You closed the vulgar room.

[B]

Allowed them to extend.

[D]

You closed the vulner.

[B]

I was there for like three or four days. When they announced it was closing the vul.

[D]

A lot of rooms, bitch.

[B]

I think I might have been there for a week, maybe a week. When they announced it was closing, I

[D]

was like, I didn't.

[B]

I'm the reason why the show was able to extend that long, honey. And that's why they could afford Megan thee stallion.

[D]

Honey, you could load them with a lot of.

[B]

So you guys can go online and check the sales. When I was there, sales went up, honey, which is a fact.

[D]

But I.

[B]

But I don't think if you're in a Broadway show that closes. I don't. I don't think you're getting fired. I think if you're. I think the show just closed. But I have been. But I did get. I mean, I was laid off. Yeah, I was. I. I had three nightlife shows that, that close. That, like, closed, I guess. But I've been fired. Like, actually fired. Like, you don't work here anymore from two jobs. I got fired from Planet Smoothie for having an attitude problem, and I got fired. And I got fired from Dialogue Direct for being bad at my job. Dialogue Direct? The people who stopped me on the streets. Like, hey, you got time to talk about. To support. You wanna. You wanna sponsor a child?

[D]

Oh, you used to do that?

[B]

I did it, yeah. When I first moved to New York City, I did that.

[D]

And you got fired for what reason?

[B]

Being bad at my job. I got one person to sign up in two weeks.

[D]

I mean, were you, Were you, Were you trying to stop people?

[B]

Yeah, with all my might, with everything I had in me. I got one lady to sign up. One lady. And it was, it was the day I got fired. And I, I, I remember that she, she was like. I was like, hey, do you have time to talk about helping children? And then she goes, I don't need to hear a pitch. I'll just sign up. No big deal. Whatever it is, I'll just sign up for it under one circumstance. And I was like, what is it? She goes, you have to quit this job. She's like, you shouldn't be doing this. You gotta be better at something else.

[D]

And how much. How much does a job like that pay?

[B]

It paid either 15 or $20 an hour.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Three days a week. And then you would get a percentage of the sign up. Yeah, but like. Like if you get someone to sign up for $20 or $10, you get half of that first one. So if I. So If I get eight people to sign up for $20, then I would get $80 that day. But they have to.

[D]

Plus your hourly rates.

[B]

Yeah, they have to stay on. So I get a half of your first payment and then you have to. Yeah, stay and pay.

[D]

Got it.

[B]

Interesting. I got one lady sign up and she was like, you need to quit this job. And I got fired that day.

[A]

Work.

[D]

Yeah. I couldn't have done one of those jobs. I don't have the. I don't have it in me.

[B]

I mean, I was very young. Honestly, I think I could still do it. Well, actually I could do it then. So, I mean, I could do it, but I don't think I would be good at it.

[D]

Yeah, it's not for me.

[A]

I do have a piece of media I'm hoping we can do a dramatic reading of at some point.

[B]

A piece of media. Does it revolve around fire?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Quitting?

[D]

Yes. All right. I would assume so.

[B]

Are we reading. Is it. Is it a. Are we reading it together?

[D]

I don't know what this is. Do you know what it is already? Yes, I do.

[B]

You should. Since she's close to you, you should read this.

[D]

This is. No, you read it.

[B]

This is what I used to call Trinity's ISIS video. Where Trinity is like,

[D]

this is for what again? To give it to context.

[B]

Her basically apologizing to Murray and Peter for saying mean things online, which probably video.

[D]

You guys make sense. Hi, everyone, It's Trinity. I want to make this post and let you guys know where I'm at. Your turn.

[B]

I feel like this is the right thing to do. I'm going to read something because I can't remember all the details of everything that I want to say, but these are my words.

[A]

Can we get a little bit more fear?

[B]

But to say but. But these are my words.

[D]

So she did not say it like that.

[B]

This is a direct.

[D]

She was not scared. She was not.

[B]

So forgive me if I have any mistakes. I'm terrible at reading.

[D]

But a few weeks Ago more scared. I heard some very unfavorable things about

[B]

not funny scared things about Murray.

[D]

Unfavorable. At the time I made my last post about leaving the tour, I had not talked to MP Present. I made a post when I was very emotional about many things in my life. And hearing these allegations against MP Presents made me very upset.

[B]

There it is. I think that's good enough.

[D]

I remember this video.

[B]

You were about to make one for your comments. You ever fired anyone?

[D]

I never fired anyone.

[B]

When did you get fired?

[D]

I got fired when I worked at the Holiday Inn Express at jfk.

[B]

What did you do?

[D]

I went. I was one. I went to Pride that summer. Jasmine Rice, Q De La Rouge. And I went to Pride and I was.

[B]

Wait, Q De La Rouge. Why do I know this name? She's the opera singing drag queen. Dominican. Yeah, yeah, yeah, got it. Kind of like either light skinned black or dark skinned Hispanic.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

I was like. That was like a name from the back of my brain. I think I would recognize Cudela Rouge if I saw her today.

[D]

Yeah, I think you would.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Luis, I think is her name. And I was surprised. I was running late because I was into Pride parade all day and I was kind of like drove to work.

[B]

What split were you on? What foot float?

[D]

I was not afloat. I was my first year in dry.

[B]

I just walked.

[D]

Jazzer. We just snuck into the parade and did the whole route and I was driving back to work with my coexist mobile on the highway.

[B]

Can we put coexist on your current car if I buy you one when you put it on there? No. What if I make it? Can I finish my sentence?

[A]

What would you do if randomly you walked up to your car and there was a sticker on there that just appeared?

[D]

I'll be very upset.

[B]

Okay, well hear me out.

[D]

It wasn't us.

[B]

It wasn't us. When you say very upset, how upset are you?

[D]

I would retaliate, but in not an equal way.

[A]

But it wasn't us.

[B]

And when you say very upset, I'd

[D]

retaliate in a not equal way.

[B]

So let's say the time that you were accosted and called the N word for stealing a meal from Mickey Splaine's, how upset were you then? If you could put that on a scale of 1 to 10, how upset were you that day?

[D]

I was 8.

[B]

Okay. If I can ask you about when you first heard Mo Hart say fuck your sponges, I want my money back. Where were you at on that when you showed my house with the steak.

[D]

I was a seven. I did not have the steak. I was going to. I didn't have the steak.

[B]

Okay. And when I'm trying to think of another time I saw you upset. Cause I want to figure out where we are in that barometer.

[A]

When you didn't text her the number for.

[B]

Yeah, When I didn't send you the cartoonist.

[D]

That was a nine.

[B]

That was a nine. Yeah, that was a nine.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Gaggy, gaggy. When you come home and you see that one of the animals has made a mess on the floor.

[D]

That's a nine.

[B]

That's a nine. It's an animal's fault,

[D]

right? This is the animals.

[B]

Let's be nice to potato. Y' all are so mean to that goddamn dog.

[D]

We're not mean to the dog. I say potato. On what? I am very sweet. I am very sweet to potato.

[B]

Where's he at right now?

[D]

It's in Palm Springs with Go.

[B]

So now that we know what the ranking system is, now I need to get a low one. What do you like when you miss a light? Where are you at there?

[D]

Miss a light?

[B]

Yeah. Or you miss your exit.

[D]

It's like a four, a three.

[B]

That seems pretty angry for missing an exit.

[D]

Well, it depends on where I'm going. If it's going to make me really late to somewhere I'm going, I'm getting upset.

[B]

People talking in the movie theater, like where you can't hear the movie.

[D]

Six.

[B]

That's a six. When I talk, I do it in spots where it makes sense and I just tell a quick joke.

[D]

No, girl, I'm gonna reiterate. Jacob can cooperate. This Papa Taylor too. Bob will talk through the entire movie, making jokes, doing a fucking stand up set, doing the entire movie.

[B]

But you're laughing at the jokes. You're egging me on.

[D]

And then what's so crazy that when you watch a movie at his house, you turn around, look at your phone for one second,

[B]

Pause, pause.

[D]

Which is so crazy.

[B]

But if I could pause at the movie theater, I would to tell my joke real quick. If you think if I had the remote at the movie theater, I wouldn't be using it, you're crazy. Last night I started watching this show called Something Very Bad is About to Happen. Have you ever heard about this? I think it's on Netflix.

[A]

Yeah, it's Netflix's new big show they're pushing right now.

[B]

Yeah, Something Very Bad is About to Happen or something. It's something like that. And we started watching it and it's like really poignant. Stuff happening. Tao is just. Just talking. Like, let's say something just happened in the film. And he wants to talk about.

[D]

Is it a movie or a film?

[B]

It's a TV show. And he wants to talk about thing on the TV show. He's like, okay, let's talk about this. Which, by the way, I want to talk about the thing that just happened. But three more things that just happened. And we're talking about the thing that happened back then. So now we have all that information. What number would you be at if a coexist sticker ended up on your car?

[D]

A7.

[B]

A7? Yeah, but you can just peel it off.

[D]

I don't want to peel it off.

[B]

Okay. A coexist magnet. You just pop it right off.

[D]

4.

[B]

Now I want to have some more conversations. What if the magnet is designed in a way that actually looks really cool? Like it's not the one. Like it has all the religious iconography in it, but it's kind of like matte. Or it's the same color as your car with the same finish. And it's like raised. And it has like a gold or silver, whatever color your rims are. What color your rims?

[D]

Black.

[B]

Okay. Black around. And it looks really chic. And it says coexist.

[D]

No, it's still tacky.

[B]

Jacob, do your 3D printer still work? Yeah. Okay, to be clear, if it happens, it's probably not me, though.

[A]

Yeah, we have no interest in doing that.

[B]

We would not. We would not do that to you.

[D]

Should I invest in a 3D printer?

[B]

That's a Jacob question.

[A]

What would you 3D print?

[B]

I don't know.

[D]

Everyone. I feel like everyone's 3D printing everything nowadays.

[A]

I mean, I feel like I would come up with at least 10 things you would 3D print before you're investing in one.

[B]

Maybe the earrings you keep making my fucking boyfriend print for you that you never thanked before.

[D]

Are they very expensive?

[A]

Like a really nice one can be expensive. But mine was like 400, which is still pricey. But, like, the expensive ones are like 2,000 to 5,000. So mine was comparatively pretty cheap.

[B]

You could. You could stream yourself learning how to 3D print. I think it'd be kind of cool. I could do that to bought a 3D printer too.

[D]

I saw that he printed the things for your thing.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, the thing for my thing. Can you give them a little more context?

[D]

I mean, is this public knowledge? I don't know what you.

[B]

Well, I have this wall in the studio, and I.

[D]

For your cabaret space.

[B]

And I want to be like, see, now you're adding too much. You.

[D]

You literally just said, can you give them context?

[B]

Now you're doing too much.

[D]

I didn't know.

[B]

Now you're doing too much. I have a quilted wall in the studio and I want the quilt to have like those, you know, like on a couch and there are like buttons in the couch and. And I want them to be little purses.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And I think this would be cute.

[D]

I think so too.

[B]

Yeah, I mean. So me and Jacob were talking last night about the zombie apocalypse again. I know this comes up a bit, quite a bit.

[D]

And I was.

[B]

So Jacob, I was saying I have reached an age now where it has become. I used to be able to go months without my glasses. Uh huh. But now I do kind of need them to read things. Like my eyesight has degenerated over the years.

[D]

I mean we literally did a cooking video where you were literally holding the things up like this to read. Yeah.

[B]

It's pretty brutal.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

So Jacob, his eyesight's pretty bad. Have you ever like looked through Jacob's glasses?

[D]

I have one time. Yeah, it's pretty intense. It's like Coke bottle lenses.

[B]

So I was thinking about, he could 3D print in the zombie apocalypse. 3D print, like frames that you could put a little strap on and wear them as goggles.

[D]

Why would you need goggles and just wear the fucking glasses?

[B]

Because it's a zombie apocalypse. We gotta run. You think you're gonna be dressed like this in the zombie apocalypse? You think?

[D]

Girl, having a strap on glasses is not new. That is old tech.

[B]

No, but you no like goggles, not straps. Not like this. Like that's not.

[D]

Basketball players do it all the time.

[B]

But he's gonna need them to fit the lenses he already has. We can't. The zombies have eaten the people who work in the factories. So now we're doing our stuff ourselves. He had to pop his lenses out of these. He has a print out goggles that have this shape so you can pop them in.

[A]

I guess my, my concern is if things have gotten so bad that are we gonna have a. Like the people at the factories have all been eaten and I can't get other glasses. But our house still has electricity.

[B]

Generator.

[A]

Oh, gotcha.

[B]

We obviously have a generator in your.

[D]

In your, in your. In your apartment complex.

[B]

We're probably not living in our apartment complex.

[A]

Okay. But Also for the 3D printer to work, mine specifically I do need Wi Fi. Like it is a wi. Do need the Internet.

[D]

So what's your Well, I didn't know

[B]

about the WI fi thing, but I feel like we could probably get WI fi.

[D]

How are you getting WI fi? The grid is down. What do you mean?

[B]

Give me a second. It just happened, bro.

[D]

No, because you already moved out of your house. But it just happened.

[B]

Do we have cell phones?

[D]

No, girl, the grid is down. There are no cell phones, there's no WI fi.

[B]

But we have radios.

[D]

Radios? Sure.

[B]

We can't have cell phones in a zombie apocalypse. How?

[D]

There's no grid.

[B]

Zombies don't eat wires, they eat brains.

[D]

No, but there's no. But there's no one sustaining the.

[B]

Zombies are eating energy.

[D]

There's no one sustaining the WI fi. There's no one sustaining the.

[B]

No, someone has to sustain the WI fi.

[D]

Who's someone?

[B]

Someone we'll elect an official. I would do that job. It sounds cushy. Because you would be protected. I'm going to the hills and I'm taking a house.

[D]

You don't even know how to shoot. You won't even know how to shoot a gun.

[B]

I.

[D]

Why are you taking it?

[B]

I mean, I would go to the hills and I would take a house.

[D]

I was flying from Dallas to back home and I don't know if there were ice. Someone was checking in and they were checking in their bag in those long cases and he's like, you know, they had to open up the case to present to them, I guess to show the flight attendant like what's in the thing and it's just so scary. See one of the.

[B]

I mean it was like one of

[D]

those, like it looked like a fucking bazooka like gun with like the.

[B]

Can he show the flight attendant this?

[D]

Not the flight attendant. The gate. Not the gate agent. No. The ticketing agent.

[B]

To mail it.

[D]

No. So when, you know when you're checking

[B]

your bag, when you go, you can check a gun.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, what you gonna do with it under the plane? There's like a.

[B]

No, I mean when I say check, I would check. Like I said check it. Like he didn't carry it on.

[D]

Yeah, no, yeah.

[B]

Oh, that's what I meant. You can't carry on a gun. No, I guess shipping. I mean, chicken gun doesn't sound like crazy to me.

[D]

Yeah, but I'm not gonna say it was just for. I've never seen a gun that big in person. So it was just.

[B]

You never see those big ass guns they be having down at Port Authority.

[D]

This wasn't that gross. I'm telling you. It looked like a fucking bazooka.

[B]

They always have those big ass fucking guns at Port Authority.

[D]

I know.

[B]

What is happening? Not Port Authority, Penn Station. What is happening at Penn Station, bitch?

[D]

A fucking terrorist attack happened 25 years ago. What do you mean?

[B]

What's happening at Penn Station?

[D]

In New York City? Down the street. What are you doing?

[B]

But also, why is it just Penn Station?

[D]

No, they have them at Port Authority, too. They have them at, like, major hubs.

[B]

I have never actually been in.

[D]

You have. There's no. You live in New York City for 12 years. You never went to Penn State. Port Authority, Come on.

[B]

I've never been to the port. I've never. I've walked past the port. I've never walked into the Port Authority.

[A]

Yeah. Why? Because it's just buses, isn't it?

[B]

You never took a bus? I took a Peter Pan bus one time, but Peter Pan picks you up on, like, the side of the road. Peter Pan be like a. Be like 114 and three.

[D]

Yeah, I guess that's true.

[B]

I think Peter Pan is actually with the Port Authority.

[D]

Yeah, I've been to Photo Authority a few times. Have you been to the Amtrak? The one, like, Amtrak down there?

[B]

Yeah, I think an Amtrak.

[D]

What was it? Station. Not Penn Station.

[B]

Moynihan.

[D]

Moynihan, yeah.

[B]

Moynihan has a Jacob's Pickle.

[D]

Yeah. And they have a Magnolias, too, but it's like a.

[B]

It's a smaller menu. If you want to go to Jacob's Pickle, go to the one you love.

[D]

Jacob's Pickle, baby.

[B]

I literally.

[D]

I was the one that introduced.

[B]

No, Kimchi. Kimchi.

[D]

Bob, ask Kimchi who introduced her to who? Jacob.

[B]

Okay, but you didn't introduce me me. You said you told me.

[D]

I'm pretty sure I did, babe.

[B]

No, it was Naomi Smalls birthday, and Kimchi took her to a restaurant. I was invited and I went to Jacob's Pickle because Kimchi invited me. It was not you. It was Kimchi. Like, for example, Kimchi didn't put me on a combio. You did. Yes. Kimchi put you on. But she didn't put me on.

[D]

I put Kim on.

[B]

That's not true. And by the way, I didn't tell you this, but Monet thought Cambia was Asian because Kimchi taught her. Taught it to her.

[D]

That is not what.

[B]

That is true.

[D]

That's not.

[B]

You thought it was Asian because Kimchi.

[D]

That is not why.

[B]

Which is crazy.

[D]

I. I thought it was Asian because I thought it was very, very.

[B]

What is your last name? In drag.

[D]

My last name in drag?

[B]

What is your last name in drag, bitch? This is an easy question.

[D]

Why are you asking me that?

[B]

What is it?

[D]

Why are you asking me?

[B]

Just answer the question.

[D]

Exchange.

[B]

Ok. You speak a little Spanish, right? See, how do you say your when people?

[D]

Well, let me tell you why.

[B]

Let me tell you why they call you Monet. Scambio.

[D]

I thought that it was Asian because I thought it was very. The way that the symbols are. In my mind, it was reminiscent of the Japanese flag. I thought it was a Japanese game because it was like the red and white and black.

[B]

It's mostly black. Yeah.

[D]

But my brain saw red and white, so I thought it was like. And a lot of the cards I symbolized, I thought it was some derivative of the Japanese flag in some way, some deconstructed version of it.

[B]

And Kim being Asian had nothing to do with that?

[D]

No.

[B]

Okay, I'm just checking. See, but the cameo is mostly black.

[D]

I know, but it has a lot of these red and white symbols all over it. So I thought I was like, oh, maybe it's Japanese.

[B]

You know, I don't want to speak out of turn here, but I will say that apparently, Jacob, do you see

[D]

how I can make that?

[B]

There is a red semicircle connected to a black semicircle, but some of the

[D]

cards have a whole red circle on it.

[B]

I don't want to speak out of turn here. So someone in the chat, please correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently that Japanese, like, sun symbol is really offensive.

[D]

Why?

[B]

You know, I'm not 100 sure, but like, it has something to do with colonization and Japan being really messy and like colonizing spots in Asia and taking land. And apparently it is a very offensive symbol. Well, you know, it's akin to other offensive iconography.

[D]

Well, you know, the swastika was, was taken. It used to be taken. It used to be.

[A]

I think you're thinking of the rising sun.

[B]

The rising sun. The sun. The Japan sun symbols or episodes. I called it the Japan sun symbol. I, I, I, I, I, I don't. Yeah, the, the, the Japanese sun thing. That thing, yeah.

[D]

That's problematic.

[B]

Yes, apparently it is quite problematic.

[D]

The swastika was, was, it was, this

[A]

was their flag during World War II. So when Japan was aligned with the Nazis, this was the main flag they were using. So it's kind of associated with Nazis. And Japan was the ones who were, they were committing similar Nazi atrocities around, like, the other, in, like, Korea and the other Asian countries. They were the ones who were fighting Asia on behalf of the Nazis.

[B]

You Were saying.

[D]

I forget now.

[B]

You were saying around. We're talking about cambio. Offensive imagery.

[D]

Oh, the swastika.

[B]

The swastika.

[D]

It was originally like a good symbol. I think, I think, I think you

[B]

never did your task.

[A]

She did.

[D]

I did my task.

[B]

What was it? I literally have no clue. It's been so long.

[D]

Alakana vaname.

[B]

And I got it. So I did clock it.

[D]

But it wasn't saying that. It was just get you to say a spell. And I was like. I was like wicked. The fucking boner you have for everything. Wicked. It would be easy. I couldn't even finish. I literally was like, that's all I can am.

[B]

I couldn't even finish a word spell

[D]

before you started spell.

[B]

But to be fair, I did clock it. I said get me to say the spell and you said no.

[D]

But that wasn't the task. It was to say no, you said my task was to get you to say Allah Kanama. That wasn't the task. It was just to say a spell.

[B]

Oh, so now you know how to retext. But yeah, apparently it was like some pagan symbol. The swastika. Right?

[D]

Yeah, it was like. It was.

[A]

It was a Hindu symbol.

[D]

The Hindu. It was a Hindu and it was not negative. It was like a thing. And then some fucking shady white nationalist fucking Nazi bitch stole it and co opted it evil.

[A]

I think the good one is also in the reverse direction.

[D]

So I got it.

[B]

Don't do dare. Don't you dare. So did you see that? Kanye west is now his.

[D]

His name gives me chills.

[B]

He's all these sponsors are pulled out of this like European wireless. Like all like Pepsi and good and knickknack and Paddy whack and Yik Yak Good. Yeah, yeah. You ain't argument for me. You sound like. I'm sad about it. Good.

[D]

Did I realize there's a post office right or close to here? I didn't realize that.

[B]

Yeah, dox me. How do I dox. Dox this pussy? Who said that? Oh, Cardi G. Dox this pussy.

[A]

Oh, I have another piece of trivia.

[B]

Okay, okay.

[A]

[B]

Oh, I know.

[D]

[D]

[B]

Where is that?

[D]

Michigan.

[B]

Why'd you say Amsterdam?

[D]

Because I go to Amsterdam a few days after that.

[B]

What are you doing in Royal Oak, Michigan?

[D]

Pride.

[B]

What are you gonna do there, bitch? Are you doing jokes? Are you doing this? Are you doing opera?

[A]

It's July 11th, which is your. With Naomi.

[D]

Are you doing.

[B]

Are you doing. Are you doing opera? Are you doing a podcast? Are you Hosting?

[D]

I get 25 minutes to do whatever I want. I haven't decided on what the show is yet.

[B]

So should we decide right now, together? Let's talk about it together. This is a great idea. Oh, my God. Can I design Your show. What is wrong with you? You ready? Is it at nighttime?

[D]

I don't know.

[B]

Are you on the main stage or are you on a big stage?

[D]

Main stage? Yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

I mean, I don't know how big the main stage is. Royal. No shade.

[B]

Okay. So the lights all go down. Listen. Why are you laughing?

[D]

I'm looking to see if.

[B]

It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. We'll work around whatever you got. Can you be with me? The lights go down and there's like, a big screen. And these dots show up to go boom. But the dots are actually illuminating, like, chunks of you. But then one at a time, boom, boom.

[A]

So she's out there already standing.

[B]

No, this is. No, in the image on the screen. There's also a jumbotron in this fantasy.

[D]

Okay, okay.

[B]

Boom, boom. The crowd's gonna go. And then you wait a little bit, it goes boom, boom. They're gonna cheer again. You go. You hear this, like, this, like, noise, right? And then I think that's when the dj. Are you gonna bring a dj? We're bringing a dj. We're designing a show. The DJ hits a button, boom, boom, boom. Then all the dots fill up and it's that picture of you. I think it's this one with the blue dress or the purple dress and the tall thing. Right. So soak it up. But then they all. I think what's going to happen is first you walk out and you have this. Have Milk make you one of those big tool boas.

[D]

I have one in pink.

[B]

You're going to need a bigger one for what I'm planning.

[D]

It's already 20ft long. How big is that?

[B]

Not big enough. Let's assume the stage is 30ft long. You're gonna. You're gonna have just the tip on your shoulder and the bet they can't see the rest. You walk out, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. But you're walking. You made it across stage. The boa is now the entire length of the stage. The whole length of the stage. And then someone yanks the boa down. Your whole dress flies off, and you are in the sluttiest, skankiest bikini you've ever worn in your life. And then it goes into, bitch, I'm Beyonce. Because they're going to want. You got to give a bop up top and a bop at the end, right? So it goes right into bitch on Beyonce. And then the. Oh.

[D]

And I always close with Beyonce.

[B]

I'm creating the show,

[D]

so I'll decide what Goes where?

[B]

And then when I'm done, you can give me feedback.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. You're wearing the outfit, and then it goes into body. I think from there you're gonna do a little bit of comedy. You're gonna talk, but it's not like stand up. You're gonna just say humorous things. If you want, we can pre write them. We can work on them together. And then I think after that, it's gonna go into the one that Andy sang for you at your.

[D]

Love like this.

[B]

Yeah, Love like this. You never knew a love like this. They're coming out with all these flags. Rihanna comes out with the Bajan flag. And then the crowd's gonna go crazy. Cause Rihanna, you two are then gonna sing Murderer together. What's that song? I don't wanna do this anymore.

[D]

Unfaithful.

[B]

Yeah, whatever that song is, I don't wanna. You sing it as a duet together. She'll say you'll finally squash the beef. And then I'll get a shout out for bringing you two together. And then I think at the very end, you actually not gonna do one of your songs. Audra McDonald is gonna come out. Oh, and you two are going to

[D]

sing Songs to the Moon.

[B]

Is that from Porgy and Bess? Oh, I don't know.

[D]

I Met a man without a doll. That's his name. From. From Songs.

[B]

Oh, from Songs for a New World.

[D]

It's Songs for a New World. A movie.

[B]

I mean.

[D]

Sorry.

[B]

Songs for a New World is a musical. Re. It's like a musical, but it's just. It's just songs.

[D]

It's just like, songs and just, like, on stage. Like, not, like. Not like a play. Like, there's no, like, set and, like, no thing there can be. I want to see a production of it.

[B]

It's never been on Broadway.

[D]

Okay. Why?

[B]

I mean, I don't know.

[D]

I love that song.

[B]

And her.

[D]

Her version of it is my favorite.

[B]

Can you create a show for me now?

[D]

Okay, where am I?

[B]

This is gonna be at Columbus, Georgia Pride.

[D]

What the fuck was that song?

[B]

It's my thing. I need to put my. You know what it is? I don't wanna put my phone on vibrate because I always forget to take it off vibrate, and then I end up just missing every text and every call for the next three days, every single time. That's why I don't put my phone on vibrate.

[D]

So your phone. Does everyone vibrate?

[B]

My phone's on vibrate. Is everyone silent?

[D]

Got it.

[B]

All right, what's my show? Columbus, Georgia Pride.

[D]

It's Columbus, Georgia. Pride.

[B]

So we are at the Bill Heard Theater.

[D]

Oh, it's a theater. It's not outside.

[B]

Yeah, mine's a theater show.

[D]

A theater show. Okay, so you were on stage.

[B]

You don't know how many of the Bill Heard Theater seats?

[D]

How many seats?

[B]

I think it seats about 2,500.

[D]

Can we Google that?

[B]

Jacob, how many? How many? What's the capacity of the Bill Hurd Theater? Because this does matter. I would assume, since you're my artistic director now, the Bill Heard Theater in Columbus, Georgia, seats 2,000 people.

[D]

Okay. So we're on stage. We have a big screen, and we have rear float and a big screen on the back and two big ones on the panel. So, like, the entire. Like, these two on the side are coming off the stage. So the entire stage is covered, and you have two on the side as well.

[B]

I already love this.

[D]

And then we. And then.

[B]

So two on the side flush against the wall. They're all.

[D]

No, they're angled.

[F]

They're angled.

[B]

Got it.

[D]

Angled. So we're creating, like, a world. We also have an LED panel on the floor.

[B]

It's only 2,000 people. I don't know how we're paying for this. Okay, we're moving outside,

[D]

and then. So then the lights go down, and you.

[B]

That's what I did. I did. The lights go down.

[D]

Okay. Every show, the lights fucking go down.

[B]

They don't always. Okay, go ahead. The lights go down, and then you

[D]

hear bloodbath, bloodbath, bloodbath, bitch. Bloodbath, bloodbath, bloodbath, bitch. And the lights flashing, flashing, flashing around.

[B]

Bloodbath, bloodbath, bloodbath, It's a motherfucking bloodbath, bitch.

[D]

Ooky kooky as well.

[D]

It's all white, and it's just pouring on the screens, and it's coming onto the LED floor on the panel as the trap door opens up, as the blood is coming down. You're coming up.

[B]

What am I wearing?

[D]

You're wearing this crazy, crazy red gown. Drips in, like, you know my purple Ivan Ooze gown. I have it, but yours is the red version.
