I started Ornod in 2013 and we make bike apparel. The best part of Shopify for me is our ability to run the business as essentially non technical people. We're able to admin everything on the back end, front end, and sell things online easily. If Shopify were a bike accessory, I think it would actually be the bicycle. It's the thing that you do the thing on. We run the business on Shopify. So start your free trial on shopify.com. i'm Kiana and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed.
Bob the Drag Queen
Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know,
Monet
and it thinks about the customer more than anything.
Bob the Drag Queen
Every day I'm thinking about some other
Monet
new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like, I can't stop.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm addicted.

Bob the Drag Queen
my name is Bob the Drag Queen
Monet
and I'm Monet's Change. And this is sibling rivalry.
Bob the Drag Queen
On this week's episode, I Lose a tooth Gem.
Monet
We talk about shopping and we find
Bob the Drag Queen
out what made more 4 inches is crazy.
Monet
And we find out what made Bob say this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God, we're about to get a nosebleed. Monique, I wanna ask you a question. How do you feel about my voice?
Monet
Like in. What do you mean, how do I feel about it? What does that mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, how do I sound? Does it. Does it. When you hear my voice, does it bring you joy? Does it give you anxiety? Do you think it's. Is the timbre of my voice delightful? Am I a James Earl Jones type? Am I a.
Monet
If you're a James Earl Jones, I feel like I have a pretty neutral voice. It doesn't bring me anxiety, it doesn't bring me joy. Just. I mean, obviously I haven't seen you for a while hearing your voice. I think that's a different thing. I'm like, oh, my God, I miss him. But I don't think you have a voice. Like James Earl Jones is a great.
Bob the Drag Queen
He said, miss them. Those are. I don't use them pronouns.
Monet
I said him, nigga, you need to clean out your ears. My ears. And so, yeah, I wouldn't say it's like a James Earl Jones. I think that's like a super pleasant voice. You're like world record, respected as a voice or world renowned as a voice that's just neutral.
Bob the Drag Queen
And how about Morgan Freeman?
Monet
Morgan Freeman is A nice voice as well. But I don't know if James O. Jones and Morgan Freeman, if they had that because we just heard it so many times and the way their voices have been used in film and tv or like. No, because. No. Do you know who has a good voice? DDG has a good voice.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know who that is.
Monet
Halle Bailey is Baby Daddy. Cause he speaks up here, but his
Bob the Drag Queen
real voice is down here.
Monet
He has a really low voice. And I mean, I think lower voice, your voice is. You don't have a low voice, so you only.
Bob the Drag Queen
You have to have a low voice to have a nice voice.
Monet
No, because I think people like that, like James Earl Jones, he has a lot of overtones in his voice. When he speaks, you can hear a lot of overtones, like other tones other than the picture he's speaking at, which I think that is what lends itself to people having a nice voice. You can hear nice overtones.
Bob the Drag Queen
Whose voice is a 10?
Monet
DDG for me.
Bob the Drag Queen
So where am now? What do you give me knowing that? Whose voice is like a one like you're like this voice is I like a shrill voice?
Monet
Yeah, I'm trying to think. Megan Mullally has a shrill. Well, no, sorry. Her character, Karen Walker on Will and Grace has a shrill voice.
Bob the Drag Queen
What about a masculine voice? Because I'm obviously gonna be on that spectrum. So what about a masculine voice?
Monet
That's a masculine shrill voice.
Bob the Drag Queen
Does it have to be shrill? Is the high pitchness make it bad?
Monet
I, I, I think so. I, I don't think that's pleasant to hear when you talk. That's, that's not pleasant to hear. I think when you hear someone speaking lower, it feels more grounded, it has more weight to it. So it's nice to hear sometimes I like a really.
Bob the Drag Queen
You said a really light, pleasant, bubbly voice.
Monet
That's really what was a light male voice that's bubbly that you like?
Bob the Drag Queen
I guess I haven't given as much thought to voices as you do, but someone whose voice is light and they
Monet
say, like Mikey has a light male voice.
Bob the Drag Queen
Mikey has a light lady voice, but someone who has a.
Monet
What makes a lady voice? No. Well, Mikey's a male and Mikey has
Bob the Drag Queen
a light male voice, but Mikey's voice identifies as female. I'm not.
Monet
Mikey has a male voice.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that someone, like, what's his name? He's a comedian who always does the current event comedy. Josh Jackson.
Monet
Jackson.
Bob the Drag Queen
Josh Jackson.
Monet
I said Josh, the guy that did all the specials last year. Like 20 specials, whatever.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Josh Jackson has a voice that's not deep, but it's higher. But I. But I. But I kind of like it.
Monet
I'm not really familiar, so I don't know. I don't know what Josh sounds like.
Bob the Drag Queen
Make some noise for Josh.
Jacob
Jump.
Monet
Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
And so then you know, Bob, that
Monet
is a low voice. Yeah. So then he has a. That is. That. That is a low speaking voice.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're the expert on voices now.
Monet
A lot of opera singers like, oh, you weren't there. Oh, you didn't come to the opera. There was this, this guy who was in the. Her Name is Turn of Satan and Turn of Satan. Yes, Bob. His name is Turn of Satan. That is his name. Turner. Staton.
Bob the Drag Queen
Satan.
Monet
Turner. Satan was in the show. And why are you saying Satan, bitch? Stay tun. Stay 10. Stay 10.
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like we're. I'm saying Satan. You're saying Satan.
Monet
Okay, anyway, wait, I'm not playing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Say the name of the guy who's in hell and then say the name of this guy back to back.
Monet
Satan Staten.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're saying stay tun. That was not clear, nigga.
Monet
I said it 19. Can y' all please comment below? I literally said Stayton. S, T A T O N. Stayton. I said it 14 times.
Bob the Drag Queen
You didn't spell it, but go ahead, continue.
Monet
I did. You are listening. Jay, can you please rewind that in slow mo? Because I did spell it out because they gathered you last night. We're talking about. Say you didn't stutter. We need to put. Okay, but never as much as you, Mitch. Can we please put that clip? Cause we did not.
Bob the Drag Queen
But never as much as you, Mitch likes to.
Monet
We need to put that. Put that clip.
Bob the Drag Queen
Never as much media. Make sure we know that
Monet
that's you. But so, But Turner speaks like. He speaks very resolutely. So when you, like, talk to Turner, he like, yeah, he's like, hey, Bob, how are you? But he's not doing. That's just. That's how his voice sounds. I find that I. I like a voice like that too.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think someone with a high pitched voice that I like, I don't think it has to be deep.
Monet
You don't. You can't name one?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, of course I can. Give me a second. Because I've heard them before. Like Zach Noe Towers has a higher pitched voice.
Monet
Play Zach.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hold on. Okay. I hate looking up stuff in the name.
Monet
If I remember, Zach does have a. He speaks in a. He. He speaks. He has a higher pitch.
Advertisement Voice
Thanks.
Monet
Okay, so first of all, his name is Yale. Uh, which I think we can all agree is the key word. So. So you think. So you think Zach has a nice male. Ton of voice, but you don't think Mikey has a nice male. High, high male voice?
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't say that. I never heard.
Monet
You literally said earlier. I said. You said. You said. You said no. You said. You said no. Mikey. Mikey has a female voice, which is nice. But.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I don't. I wouldn't say, like, if I heard Mikey's voice completely disembodied, I would not be like, that's. That's a. That's a guy talking.
Monet
I feel like Zach and Mikey are similar. If, If. If I did not know who that was, I would have thought that was a woman speaking, not Zach Noe Towers.
Jacob
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
Zach's voice?
Monet
This. Yes.
Jacob
Hold on.
Bob the Drag Queen
Listen again,
Monet
like the Yale rapist.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, he. No, he's doing. He's that point. He literally did a thing. He went The.
Monet
He went up after that. It's healthy and active with a modicum of decorum. Bob, that sounds like Ross Matthews. That sounds like a woman speaking.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. To me, that sounds like a guy's voice. But anyway, I guess it's subjective. So now that we know that that guy Dee Dee is a 10. So rate my. Now give my voice a rating and then Give your voice 1.
Monet
I think you're neutral. I think you're right in the. You come right in the middle at five.
Bob the Drag Queen
Five is not neutral.
Monet
That is in the middle. It's literally in the middle. It's neutral.
Bob the Drag Queen
But a score. If someone told you to rate your looks, they told you 5. You wouldn't feel neutral. You'd feel like an uggo. You said, rate my looks, and they said you're like, you're a five. That's not neutral. That's in full on uggo.
Monet
Okay, Are we talking about. See, but the scale was not passing or failing. If the scale was 10 being, like, extremely pleasant, zero being unpleasant, five is your middle. You're neutral.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, they hear this. If someone told you, monet, I think you are a very average looking guy, you probably wouldn't be hurt. And then when you said, rape me, when they said five, you'd be like,
Monet
no, but that depends on what scale we're using. So now we're going from passing, failing.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think that when we talk about looks, I don't think we're talking. No one's thinking, like, passing, failing. We're just thinking one to five. And I think one is like, this person.
Monet
We're not talking about looks. Talking about your voice.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. So I'm using the same. The same concept for.
Monet
So you want to use that? Okay, okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
The same concept for voices.
Monet
So I'll give you a six, then.
Bob the Drag Queen
What are you.
Advertisement Voice
I don't know.
Monet
I don't think I have a. I think my voice is pretty neutral. I'll probably put myself, like a six or seven. I don't think my voice is.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're a six or seven, but I'm a five or six.
Monet
But also. But also. But I mean, when I'm like. When I'm, like, doing a thing, like, you know, I go in more of, like, a classical thing where I'd be like, yeah, so how are you? Like, what is your.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't do that.
Monet
I do. When I'm doing stuff like classical.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't see you. I said I could do that.
Monet
Let's hear it then.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, if I wanted to use a voice that was probably deeper in timbre, and I wanted to have a voice that didn't sound good.
Monet
Timbre.
Jacob
Timber.
Monet
Timbre, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm talking about something different. I'm talking about woods. It has woody. A woody, oaky feel to it. And obviously you wouldn't understand that because you don't have any timbre to your voice, but I don't talk that way. This is how I talk. Yeah.
Monet
So I'll give you a five, six, then.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm gonna give you a four.
Jacob
Five.
Monet
Okay. Do you wanna say thank you for your Jim Z that I gave you?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I wanna say that one of them came off last night and almost chipped my tooth. So, no, I don't want to say thank you. No. Bitch.
Monet
How did it come off? And I'm gonna ship your tooth.
Bob the Drag Queen
The simple act of brushing my teeth.
Monet
Okay, to be fair, can you start
Jacob
at the top of the story?
Monet
Yes. Okay, I will start at the top of the story. Thank you, Jacob. I'm in my home, minding my business. Our friend Alfredo, I was invited. Is staying. You were not invited. Our friend Alfredo is staying here with me for.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because of me.
Monet
Well, Bob invited me here, and then the day Alfredo showed it up, Bob was like, monet. Oh, no, no. So Bob told me. Alfredo's not.
Bob the Drag Queen
Hold on, hold on.
Monet
I was minding my business. I'm on the phone with Bob. We're talking like we do on the phone. I'm like, what's going on? He's like, oh, free's coming to town. I was like, at work. I was like, free I was like, free should. I was like, free should stay with me. I have so much space. And Bob was like, no, he's staying with me. We're spending time together. I was like, okay, work. So then fast forward to two days later. I'm on the phone talking to Bob as we do. I think he'll call me back from the airport. I think you were home, whatever you were. And then you were like, monet. No, I was sleeping, y'.
Bob the Drag Queen
All.
Monet
It's 8:30 in the morning. I'm in my bed.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're awake.
Monet
No, I was not awake.
Bob the Drag Queen
You should be awake.
Monet
I was thinking. I'm a. I'm like. I'm like, mom's calling. I'm like, hello? He's like, yo, this up. I'll grease you. But they wake your ass. You are so.
Bob the Drag Queen
They wake your ass up.
Monet
What the fuck are you doing, bitch? It is 8:30 in the morning. Wake your ass up. I was like, what?
Bob the Drag Queen
I do do that when I call
Monet
people in the morning. And he was like, what are you teasing about? Free staying by you? I was like, yeah, that's totally fine. He can sit with me. That's fine. He's like, okay, well, whatever. We'll do some stuff, and then we'll come at you later. They come at me later. So Free staying with me from Thursday. He got here on Thursday.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't remember. Yeah, maybe a Thursday through.
Monet
He leaves on Monday. And then. So then fast forward to again. This is Saturday night. We have a bunch of holiday parties to go to.
Jacob
The.
Monet
Bob and I are both invited to Jacob at a holiday concert. So I come home because y', all. My feet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause Jacob was so good in his concert last night, y'.
Monet
All. It was good.
Bob the Drag Queen
So great. They sounded really good. I mean, there's something about hearing that many people sing at once. How many people are in the chorus, Jacob, would you say?
Jacob
I'm gonna be fully honest.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Jacob
I think the thing is, we have, like, 300 members around, but some people, like, don't do certain concerts. So I don't actually know what our final tally for this show was.
Bob the Drag Queen
It looked like over 100 people.
Monet
It was. Yeah, I would say definitely over 100. Also, I was looking at the program. There are members who have been there from the beginning, since 1979. They've been singing the chorus for 45 years. That is wild.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's fierce.
Monet
I love choral music. Choral music is, like, some of my favorite music. They sang. Y' all saw one of my favorite songs, Jacob, the Lordson oh, sure.
Jacob
On the shining night.
Monet
Love the Lordson. Love the Lordson. It's a good one. He's here.
Bob the Drag Queen
What, Ma?
Monet
He was my commencement speaker at my Westminster Martin Lawrence work.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, Lordston is the composer.
Monet
The composer, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Got it. And the song is called Short on the Shining Night. Yeah, got it. Okay. But, yeah. So where were you in your story?
Monet
Oh. So then fast forward to a Saturday night. And I had to go to a birthday party earlier that day. And y', all, I'm recovering from surgery. My feet, they get swollen so quickly. So I came back from that party. It's like 2 o', clock, 3 o' clock afternoon. I came back to home to rest my feet. And then Bob and Alfredo show up. While Alfredo was coming to rest as well, Bob barges through the door as well, uninvited by me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Knocked.
Monet
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
I knocked and he came in.
Monet
And then Bob comes in.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then.
Monet
So Bob deroves and he gets in the bed together and we're playing Smash. No, no, no. He walks in. I'm laying in the bed, y', all, with my underwear in my bed, minding my business.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bob goes where I was in. I knocked. I did not kick it. I did not kick your door down. I knocked on the door.
Monet
It is literally off the hinges. Nigga, you kicked my door in.
Bob the Drag Queen
I went, knock, knock, knock. Hello, can I come in?
Monet
So Bob comes in. He's like, monet, what's on your teeth?
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not how I.
Monet
You're like, monet, what's on your teeth? I was like, it's Gen Z's. He's like, you got, you got, you got. You got your tooth done and you didn't tell me? I was like, yeah, I did it myself. He's like, no, you didn't. I said, bobby, yes, I did. I did it myself. He was like, monet, you are lying. I was like, oh, my God. I did it myself. I was like, it's literally in the bathroom sink. So he goes. He's like, oh, you did do it yourself. He was like, can you do it for me? I was like, no, do it yourself. He's like, monet, do it for me. I was like, bob, instruction. Just do it for yourself. And then he.
Bob the Drag Queen
You've already read the instructions.
Monet
So he comes over there and he's. He's feigning to do it himself. Cause I'm like, let me just fucking do it. So I put the little thing on his teeth and I put the stones on. I did it, but I was half asleep. Sorry. I Didn't do it perfectly well to your standards, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yo, yeah, now. Now I believe you did yourself because I was brushing my teeth. I was not like. I was not going in. I was like, just brush my teeth like normal, boy.
Monet
TT that's the time you make when you brush your teeth.
Bob the Drag Queen
I said, what is in my. What am I chewing, bitch? I was like, this motherfucking juice. I had one here, so now I got one. Fucking asymmetrical. My head feel heavy.
Monet
I mean, that's what I. I did mine and mine didn't fall off so well.
Bob the Drag Queen
Must be nice. The gym Z Tech I went to did not use the same care and consideration that you used that yours used. Maybe they. Maybe mine was right at the end of the day and they wanted to go home. Maybe that was what happened to me.
Monet
Do you remember that story about that guy in Atlanta that was. He's becoming. He was a veneer tech and he was like, fucking dude. People's veneers in some office that he made up this whole business about being a. Like, that is very Vampire in Atlanta. Are wild. Y' all are wild over there down in Atlanta.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know a New Yorker didn't say nobody was. I know a New Yorker did not just crack their sparkly little Jim Z mouth to say anything about what's going on in Atlanta.
Monet
You literally were just saying it. And as I said it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know you have no room to talk. In fact, let's talk about how you have no room after this break. Listen, guys, I would love for you to go to readthedragqueen.com right now and get a copy of my book, Harriet Tubman Live in Concert for pre order. The book is out in March. You can get an audible. You can buy it on Amazon. You can buy it at your local bookstore. You can buy it at Barnes and Noble. There are so many places you can buy this book. There will be an audiobook. I am doing the recording for the audiobook as well. And it would really mean a lot to me. This is a reader advanced reader's copy. So this is not the actual one. Obviously you'll be getting a. You have the option to get a hardback book. So how exciting is that?
Monet
You brought mine over to my house the other day.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want a hard.
Monet
I don't want no soft cover. I don't like soft cover.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I want a hardcover advanced reader's edition.
Monet
Okay, but when the hardcover comes, I want a hard one.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, then go to readthrowdradqueen.com and get one.
Monet
Bitch no.
Bob the Drag Queen
After all, I gotta have a hard copy.
Monet
Bitch, I paid for 50% of that goddamn book.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you didn't. What the hell? I did, Monet. I don't even have a hard copy.
Monet
Well, when you get a hardcover, I want the first one. I want the first edition.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll send you a link.
Monet
No, thank you. Bitch, I will come. You know I will come to. Do you got a merch I stolen from you? You don't even know. I will come to PG and take what I want.
Bob the Drag Queen
And. And you think. You think I leave your house empty handed? Ha ha. Bitch, you think I just walk out the front door of your house empty handed? No, no, no, honey. You look. You look at it and take Colleen a potato.
Monet
Honestly, take them. Take em.
Bob the Drag Queen
Coleen was trying to be sweet the other day. I was like, bitch, your fake ass. You so fake.
Monet
Yo. You're fake.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because y'.
Monet
All, Colleen was being sweet to Bob and Bob literally got the phone to take a picture with her. Colleen. Colleen smelt the. The fake shit. Literally ran away when you pulled your phone out. Cause you're like, this is.
Bob the Drag Queen
I wanted to document it. How is that fake? To document your. Your. Your. Your friendship with. With an animal?
Monet
Cause you fake. Cause Colin, because you don't act like that when. Cause you. You. You was gonna put on for the camera. You don't act like that when the camera's not on.
Bob the Drag Queen
I actually. I was cuddling her and I was like, wow, she's being really nice. And then we start. And also I'm. I'm the protector of Colleen because Monet is constantly yelling at this poor cat. My niece screaming at her screaming. Which is. Which is. Makes sense with this wife. She's always screaming. She's mimicking your behavior.
Monet
Colleen does scream a lot.
Bob the Drag Queen
Colleen is always screaming because you're always screaming.
Monet
No, that's not how it works.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a product of her surroundings.
Monet
That's not how that works, boo. And Andy is.
Bob the Drag Queen
And Andy's anxious, so potato's anxious. You see how it works Real quick? I have a. I have a. I never understood shopping addictions until online shopping.
Monet
TikTok.
Bob the Drag Queen
Shop TikTok. I mean, I had a. I've had. I've had online shopping addiction for a while. To be honest, this all started with me before online. It was started with. With infomercials. I would buy anything with infomercial. Anything I have bought.
Monet
Are you 49?
Bob the Drag Queen
I am 38. I bought the AB Lounge. I bought the Express one on one. I bought the Magic Bullet. I bought The Ab Roller. I bought the. I mean, can't even keep up. If it. If it had an infomercial, I would purchase it.
Monet
Yeah, I was never. I think infomercials will be for myself. I mean, infomercials were obviously going on when I. But not when I was. Not when I could buy things. I feel like I've never. And infomercials are still going on, but the popularity of them has since waned, especially since online shopping has become more accessible. And a lot. Everyone does it. But I was never an infomercial. Girly.
Bob the Drag Queen
In infomercial, they go for hours. Hours. And, like, so pretty much late at night on certain channels, all they had was infomercials.
Monet
Yeah, it would be like.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, same infomercial. Back to back to back to back. Or the same three. So you see, like, Billy Mays.
Monet
Billy Mays was what. He was the food guy.
Bob the Drag Queen
He was Oxiclean.
Monet
Oxiclean.
Bob the Drag Queen
And he might have been. And then. And then you had the shamwow guy, whose name I can't remember.
Monet
He died too. All of them died.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. I don't think that. I don't think the shamwow guy's dead.
Monet
Something happened to the shamwow. It was a thing I remember seeing.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then you have the lady from Express 101.
Monet
What the fuck is Express 101 VPN.
Bob the Drag Queen
Express 101 is like these. It's like a. Imagine a George Foreman grill, but it's actually not a press. It's like a little bitty. A little bitty oven. So you can actually make. Oh, my God. I want to get an Express 101 again so bad. This thing was so amazing. You could put. You could basically make two little personalized cakes.
Monet
Okay. Yeah. The Shamwell guy was arrested for beating. For beating up a prostitute.
Bob the Drag Queen
Damn.
Monet
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right. You can make cakes. Like a personalized cake, like this big. Not a cupcake. Imagine basically two cupcakes side by side.
Jacob
But it's like this.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you can make them. So that way if you.
Jacob
If you.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you want to have cake, but you don't want to be cutting and chopping the cake, or if you want to save the batter, you can just make one little cake at a time.
Monet
That's so that's all it did was make cakes.
Bob the Drag Queen
It also made omelets. It made a. It can make a chicken. A chicken parm.
Monet
It can.
Bob the Drag Queen
I made a cordon bleu.
Monet
Cordon bleu is. I was just talking to someone about cordon bleus. I can get because of school lunch. Cordon bleus have. Will always be nasty to me because they used to have them and it wasn't only me. A lot of us had this experience. They used to put the chicken cordon bleu available for lunch in schools, and it was always nasty. That's when you have the chicken stuffed with like ham in it or something. And cheese.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, it's breaded chicken with ham and cheese in it.
Monet
Yeah, chicken cordon bleu. I don't. I don't care if I go to a fucking Michelin gourmet, five star whatever. It will always be nasty to me every time.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I make you a turkey chicken cordon bleu?
Monet
No, I don't want no cord on nothing.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't want to cordon anything. What about you? You got a cord on your microphone. So you never purchased any infomercial ever?
Monet
Never. Never. I think, I think one thing that I did, this was like right, like right after, right after college, my grandmother purchased for me. I got the six week beach body makeover. Did you. Do you remember this?
Bob the Drag Queen
I was, I was P90X.
Monet
No, this was. It wasn't a workout thing. It was a food thing. You order this food thing. They sent you like these meal plans and these meal kits.
Bob the Drag Queen
That feels like. Did you ask for it?
Monet
No, I asked for it. I wanted it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm gonna say. Because someone, if someone bought me a beach, I'd be like,
Monet
yeah, the sissy bought a makeover. So I never, I never been. I was never an informal infomercial girly. I did do insanity. But I didn't buy it on infomercial. I bought it like, I think just at the website. I think that at that point websites were a thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I bought P90X hard. Now I'm on the TikTok shop Monet. I'd be buying stuff. Why do I need this? Oh my God.
Monet
Is that the measuring tape?
Bob the Drag Queen
It's the measuring tape. I bought it, girl. This thing is a game change. Monet, this walk. Monet, Monet got that waddle, honey, waddle, waddle, baby.
Monet
I bought it too.
Bob the Drag Queen
This makes fittings a breeze.
Monet
I mean, does it though, for me?
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause it makes measuring your waist easier. You don't. I mean, how big is your wrist? Mine is four inches.
Monet
Impossible. You're such a liar.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, it is, Bob.
Monet
There is no way your wrist is fucking four inches.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, it is.
Monet
No, because your wrist is at least seven. Let me see.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you see it?
Monet
No, I can't see it. But Bob, there's No way. Your wrist is 70. We wear the same outfits and our sleeves fit the same.
Bob the Drag Queen
Five.
Monet
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Five bob.
Monet
That's impossible. We wear the same.
Bob the Drag Queen
Look at the fucking numbers, bitch. My wrist is five inches. Like a little over five bob.
Monet
Let me see the other side.
Bob the Drag Queen
Show me yours.
Monet
You are so full of shits. You are such a liar.
Bob the Drag Queen
You was really. You was really like, what is happening?
Monet
I was like. I was like, how many. I was like, how much weight have you lost? Did you lose a whole godd. 4 inches is crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
How much is your wrist?
Monet
7.
Bob the Drag Queen
My wrist is 7 inches. Give me your neck. My neck?
Monet
I think my neck is maybe 16. No, 17.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are we the same size all over?
Monet
I think so. Oh, no. I mean, but this is, like choking me, though. This is.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, that's the size of your neck. Your neck is not meant to be. It's the measure of your neck. Oh, I'm.
Monet
I'm 15 and what, like a 15 and a quarter?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm 16 and a half.
Monet
Damn, nigga, you be swole.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think my neck is swole now. You really want to get. You really want to outdo me? Measure that head.
Monet
Oh, I know my head is big.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you really want to. If you really want to show me up, measure that noggin gag.
Monet
You want the gag when we have the same motherfucking size sitting here.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not taking my headpiece off because my hair is looking crazy.
Monet
I'm 23. I'm 23 and a quarter.
Bob the Drag Queen
Mine says 23 as well.
Monet
Okay, so you got the same wrist I got. You got the same neck I got. Nigga got the same head I got. Then shut up.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, no, mine says 23. Yeah, 23.
Monet
Oh, wait, no, mine is 17.
Bob the Drag Queen
This. Shut the fuck up. But yeah, this thing is great. It helps. It helps for me. It helps. It helps fittings. Cause I can measure myself. I don't have to have someone else. There's parts I can't reach. You can't see. You don't have to hold it. This has made my life easier when
Monet
it comes to this. I bought it. I've never used it. But here's the thing about TikTok Shop. TikTok Shop shopping is that once you get it, that's it. If it don't work, either you donate or try to resell it to someone. Because I don't know how to return anything on TikTok.
Bob the Drag Queen
I bought something that was broken. I got something that came fully broken. I bought a camera. First of all, not the Camera I ordered. Not the camera I ordered at all. And it broke upon opening it. I bought this thing. I saw this thing online. This measures your grip strength. And there was a thing where people were at this house party, or it was like a Christmas party or Thanksgiving party or something, and everyone was just passing around the family, see who has the best. It's called the Handexter, by the way. Y'.
Monet
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is not me telling you, go buy me this stuff. I'm just sharing with you my absurd. I was thinking, wouldn't it be fun to go to a party and everyone pass around the grip strength tester?
Monet
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
They were having fun in the video. You tell me about you telling me about this.
Jacob
Let's bring it to Monet and Andy's Christmas party.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then Monet won't use it, because Monet would be like, it's not everyone. Everyone would be cackling and having fun. Monet would be like, I don't think it's fun, and I'm not gonna do it. So when I bring this to the Christmas party, don't touch it.
Monet
Let us have fun.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let us have fun. I won't touch it.
Monet
Y' all know Bob, dude, Bob will make me want to do it like Monet. I wanna see how strong you are. You will make me do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no. When we're doing it, I won't even talk to you. Just let us let everyone at the party have fun.
Monet
Perfect.
Bob the Drag Queen
And you sit in the corner.
Monet
Perfect.
Bob the Drag Queen
And watch us with Handexter.
Monet
You are so. Wait, what? What? What do you. And what food are you and Jacob bringing to the Christmas party? Cause last year, both of y' all came in hand swinging. Y' all got. The invite said, bring a meal.
Bob the Drag Queen
Chips.
Monet
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
We bought some chips.
Monet
No, the invite says to bring a cooked meal.
Bob the Drag Queen
Someone cooked.
Jacob
No, the partyful invite says, are you bring. Planning on bringing food? If so, what are you going to bring?
Bob the Drag Queen
So do you even know what you
Jacob
wrote so you can say, no, I'm not planning on bringing food.
Bob the Drag Queen
And it also doesn't say hand. It doesn't say cooked. It says food. So do you know what your own invite says? Who wrote the invite? Andy did.
Monet
Not me. Clearly, there will be an amendment going out on this thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, we already ordered our chips on a TikTok shop.
Monet
Oh, this reminds me, y'. All.
Bob the Drag Queen
I bought a few things I want to show you.
Monet
Wait, hold on, hold on. Lifey Life in is coming. My tour is coming to the United States of America and Canada starting January. So if you want to see me, y', all, this show is riveting. It's entertaining. It's funny, it's sad. It's all those things. So you want to see me do my one. One show? Lifely life and. Cause these really are the last days. Bob, make fun of me. I've teased. These really, really, really are the last time I'm doing the show in January. So make sure you go to monations.com to get tickets to see me live in your city.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a marketing tactic. She says this to you all because you'll believe, because you keep believing in it. Monet is not done with this show. Monae is doing this. She's playing. She's playing, y'. All. I would never do this to my fans.
Monet
This came. This came yesterday.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you should go to the show.
Monet
I got the Juvia's place powders because someone's talking about how amazing they were, and, girl, let me tell you something. I would. I just. I just. I have so much thing. So many things from TikTok. It's insane.
Bob the Drag Queen
Juvia's place like that. Okay, how about this?
Monet
I bought it. I didn't send. I bought it myself.
Bob the Drag Queen
They're from TikTok. I was saying they sell on TikTok.
Monet
Yeah, yeah. TikTok. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is my dumbest purchase.
Monet
What. What is it?
Bob the Drag Queen
What does it look like to you?
Monet
A museum, but like a. A pov. I don't fucking know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Describe what you're looking at.
Monet
It looks like. It looks like a museum with, like, haunted pieces of art. The Girl with the Pearl Earrings, Van Gogh, Starry Night. And when you move it, it changes the perspective. Not the perspective, but the. The. Yeah, your perspective shifts. How the picture.
Bob the Drag Queen
How deep do you think this thing is?
Monet
I know it's. It's just a picture, but I think it's just.
Bob the Drag Queen
How deep do you think it is? Like, how deep do you think it goes?
Monet
Like. Like what I'm seeing or how physically how deep it is?
Bob the Drag Queen
Physically, like, what are you seeing? What? Describe the shape you're looking at right now.
Monet
It's a square or it's a cube. Oh, you can change the colors in it. That's cool. Um, and it looks like it goes back maybe like, 20ft, but the box is probably, I'm sure, only like, an inch deep. Oh, it's a little cone.
Bob the Drag Queen
Isn't that cool? Is it that cool?
Monet
Wait, did you turn it around? Wait, go back the other way and turn it face forward to me. No, no.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, like this?
Monet
Oh, yeah, yeah. Wait, so
Bob the Drag Queen
what it's gagging. See, this was not a waste of money.
Jacob
Wait, turn it to the left and right.
Monet
That's okay. That is cool. That's fucking cool, dude.
Jacob
See?
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you for validating that and not waste my money. This came. It looks better on camera than it does in person. It's kind of like, girl, I can see what's happening, but on camera it is.
Monet
So that's cool.
Bob the Drag Queen
Gaggy.
Monet
Okay, that's cool. Okay, you ate. You ate that.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I don't know how to get it to mount to my wall.
Monet
Oh, my God.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. Look how cool that looks.
Monet
Yeah, that's cool. I was watching a video about how, like, things like that are just, like, you know. Let's take a break. I'll tell you about the video I saw.

Monet
Cause niggas in Paris. So you know to open the show, you gotta go ball so hard.
Bob the Drag Queen
Apparently ain't no N s in Paris. What the hell going on up here? Paris and Warsaw. Y' all are trying to play me. First of All Zagreb, y' all went crazy. I did not know I had this many fans in Croatia. Thank you so, so much, Paris. I'm disappointed. And the last thing I want to show you from the TikTok chat that I bought that is just like. I'm so terrified of these.
Monet
What? Oh, God. You came over to my house. Wait, did you charge them? Do they work?
Bob the Drag Queen
They're charged.
Monet
Can you do it right now? Can you give us a test on camera?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, Free said that he would do them first. I'm scared.
Monet
So, you know. Yeah. Tell them what it is.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you see the hoverboard, this is two individual hoverboards for each foot, Bob.
Monet
They're called es. They're called skates. They're literally skates. You describe them. Skates, Bob. Like. Okay, it's like a skateboard, but it's an individual skateboard for each foot. No, bitch, it's a skate.
Bob the Drag Queen
This can't be safe.
Monet
It sounds incredibly unsafe.
Bob the Drag Queen
If your feet were. Well, would you do it? Yes, it's incredibly unsafe. Sign me up. This is. I am.
Monet
So how do they adhere to your feet? Are there a strap or anything?
Advertisement Voice
They don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
You just stand on them and people.
Monet
And in the video, do people make it look easy?
Bob the Drag Queen
Some people do, some people don't. I mean, there's a video of Mike Tyson falling off of one, like, busting his ass.
Monet
Not these.
Bob the Drag Queen
He was doing on the. On the hoverboard. Like, he just fell and just busted his shit. The back of his head.
Monet
Got it. Yeah. I. I mean, this. I've also bought. I bought a lot of nails. I have a lot of TikTok nails.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my. I can't even. Did I put you under the nails?
Monet
No. I mean, I think because you told me about them. They popped into my algorithm, and then I saw one. I was like, oh. And then. But I always go to see.
Bob the Drag Queen
You must have looked it up. Your phone's not listening to me. You must have looked it up.
Monet
They don't just. No, probably happens all the time. Pat and I were talking about buttons the other day. Now I'm getting fucking targeted Instagram ads for buttons. I'm like, I've never searched for fucking buttons. Allegedly.
Bob the Drag Queen
Alle has been disproven.
Monet
Well, then how does that happen? Then?
Jacob
You.
Bob the Drag Queen
At some point, you probably. You. You probably search for a nail. I mean, you're a drag queen. You probably search for a nail.
Monet
Some of the buttons, specifically, with me and Patty, we're talking about buttons for this outfit. Goodoy is making me we talked about it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, when you talked about it, did you just quick. Did you quickly google buttons? Because you know the companies are all sharing. They're all selling information to each other.
Monet
No, Patty. Maybe Patty made me look for it. Cuz we're. He was looking on his. On his Amazon and then that same night maybe.
Bob the Drag Queen
Maybe your Amazon is linked to his. Maybe he was looking through your Amazon. That's probably what it was, girl.
Monet
Anyway, yes, I have a lot of TikTok nails. I love me a TikTok nail.
Bob the Drag Queen
Now I have.
Monet
They're here to mitts though sometimes they are too. The large ones are like I'm. This is not a large.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, that's true. Jacob. Jake. I put a. I put a nail on Jacob this morning. I don't know if he still has
Monet
it on like a. A cunty nail.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, a cunty has TikTok nail.
Monet
Well, Jake a. Jake probably extra small.
Bob the Drag Queen
Girl. My. It's on his thumb. And let's just say it's not a thumbnail. I gagged. Are you wearing the nail now?
Jacob
I'm not. I took it off.
Monet
But I've always been a shopper. I like shopping. Recently I've got really recently because, you know, I. I used to be a luxury shopper, girl. I mean I'm not used to. Me, I still am. But I found out about the whole scam with these luxury bags. Did you hear about this?
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Monet
So specifically Dior. Dior, you know, is a. Is a luxury brand. You know, whatever. And there's this Lux. It's in my house. I'm not. My feet are not. Well, I can't. I should have brought some stuff. Anyway, it's a Dior bag. It retails like it retails for $4,200. Right. Come to find out, the bag cost them like $50 to make.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Okay.
Monet
I knew luxury bags, I knew they didn't cost that much to make. But I was thinking maybe like with the attention to detail on stuff and the materials, at least you're looking at at least like 500 to 1,000.
Bob the Drag Queen
And on this day, Monet figured out what late stage capitalism was. Yeah, Monet.
Monet
The markup on that is crazy. $50 to $4200.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet. Think about the sodas you drink at restaurants or the soda you buy them a can. The bottle costs more than the soda.
Monet
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
The bottle that the soda is stored in cost them more money to make than the soda itself.
Monet
That I knew. But I think with like, you know,
Bob the Drag Queen
and they turn around and sell it to you for a buck 75 with
Monet
luxury brands, you think about like leathers and like all these things that come into play, that these are like goods that cost a bit more. I just thought, I did not in my mind think that it will cost $50 to make this bag.
Bob the Drag Queen
But because there are such expensive, I mean such large corporations, what they are doing is constantly, constantly, constantly trying to figure out how to spend less money. And, and again, it's not always ethical. So if someone is making a bag for $50 and selling, I assure you the bag's not being made. The bag might be made in one hour. I, I doubt it. However. But there's, that's what I mean when I talk about heavy exploitation, that's the kind of exploitation I'm talking about. So obviously Dior is not going to be like, if someone's like, I found a way to take your bag from being $400 to $50, they're gonna take it.
Monet
And like, and again and like sometimes. And so then I'm like, bitch, for all these like luxury bags I have, I should just go and buy the fucking knockoff bags. Like why do you know that a
Bob the Drag Queen
lot of times they're actually made in the same factories.
Monet
I know that's. I heard that too. And I was like, yo. I mean, but has that really been proven though? I've, I've heard that rumor for a long time. But is it. Has that been debunked?
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never proven it. I've not done my own research as they say. But allegedly, honey, allegedly.
Monet
I mean with my Cartier drew, right. I bought. Yeah, I have, I have a bunch of some, some Cartier stuff and I got stolen. It got all. Got stolen in Jan. In this past summer and I don't think I've.
Bob the Drag Queen
You.
Monet
You knew about it? I don't think I was. Anyway, it got stolen in January, in, in June and I'm like, we talked
Bob the Drag Queen
about it on the airtag episode.
Monet
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. And then, and then I purchased some new pieces and I'm like now I was looking up like the resale value of like high end luxury jewelry and like basically I, I discovered it makes more sense to go to my own jeweler and get like, find a jeweler that I like and get something made similar. Like. Cause not the same. You can't get the same thing made. Cause I think there's some type of trademarks and copyrights, whatever you can get. Like example, if you want the juiced un clou, which is the nail bracelet, like you can't go to a jeweler. I mean, I guess you. There is a jeweler that will make that exact same thing, but you can. It makes more sense to just find a jeweler and get something similar made because then what you're paying better. You're. Because for Cartier you're paying for the name. You're pay. You're. Cause the retail value of like a heavy starter. A Cartier love Bracelet costs about $8,000, right? But it really, you just look at the raw material, the gold and the diamonds. It really cost, should cost about $3,000, but you're paying that extra $5,000 just for the name Cartier, which is crazy. Just go to a jeweler and get your own fucking bangle made.
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like I told you this, but I'm duped.
Monet
But I've been drinking the Kool Aid for so long.
Bob the Drag Queen
But what I, but I told. I feel like I told you this.
Monet
No, I don't think you told me that specifically.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I mean I will say, I will buy a luxury bag and when I say luxury, I, I'm not talking like a, a Christian Dior or a, or a, or a. I would.
Monet
You wanted a Birkin, you Bob, you do. You did want a Birkin at one point.
Bob the Drag Queen
I might buy a Birkin, but, but I've not. But I've never actually, I've never actually gone through with the, with the purchase. Whenever I look at the price, I always get sticker shock. I'm like, this is just so expensive. I've never been able to actually bring myself to actually purchase a Birkin bag. But I will buy like a, like a, like a, a luxury fanny pack. I, I do buy luxury fanny packs because one, the ones that I have bought have lasted really long. I used to buy the cheap ones and they would just, they would just always fall apart. And when I buy the one from like Gucci, they will rep. The Gucci one is much less expensive than some of the other ones. And they, they just, they replace it.
Monet
Yeah, if. Yeah. Well, I have, I have a few out of a few Gucci backpacks that the strap would always pop and you just take it to the Gucci store and they'll replace it free. For free. Like they don't like because it shouldn't be always popping. I know that's what was the ones. It was that, you know that, that neon green one I had. You probably don't remember anyway, I had to get that replaced through them four times. But now I bought, I bought the army green one. And that one has never popped, so it must be something with the type of leather they used for the neon green one.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm not really, I'm not really, I mean I'm, I like to spend, I like to buy things, but I'm not really like a, like the other day, meanwhile. This was crazy. Oh God.
Monet
What stops you be like me and Monet, then you stop and say this is crazy. I'm like, what fucking. What you about to say?
Bob the Drag Queen
I told Monet, I was like, I think my next car is going to be a Mercedes or maybe.
Monet
Oh my God.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's all I said, my next car. I think my next car would be either a Mercedes or Alexis Monet.
Monet
Okay, you already like, you didn't say Lexus, you said Mercedes to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you didn't let me finish. Cause Monat jumped in with, great, let's go tomorrow. I said tomorrow, bitch. My car, my car is works, My car is fully functioning. I have a fully functioning car. Moni said, I know, but you can get like a better car. I said, I like my car. Monee. My car doesn't even have 20,000 miles on it.
Monet
You get a good trade in value for it then.
Bob the Drag Queen
But my, there's, but why would I get rid of my car? There's nothing wrong with my car.
Monet
I mean, but in 4000, in four years, you could probably be looking at a whole new different car. I mean, I traded my car in and it was fine too.
Bob the Drag Queen
You didn't own your car.
Monet
Yeah, so, Right, so it's a God. But I could have extended it in
Bob the Drag Queen
on a car you don't own.
Monet
I still had a year on my lease though.
Bob the Drag Queen
But when it was like, yeah, girl, let's get rid of that piece of shit. I said, oh, when I said right now, I was like, this is crazy. That sounds crazy.
Monet
Anyway, so I think you just, but okay, you're gonna wait until, for four more years, you get 50,000 more miles on it and then what? Then what you concentrated in.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't say that like I have not come with a plan. I just said my next car. Like my car, y'. All, there's nothing. My car does not need a tune up, it don't need a flip flop, it don't need a flim flam. My car is literally 16,000 miles. I rarely ever drive it. It's in great condition. I rarely use it, I rarely money like driving in the river.
Monet
Well, you know, yeah, I mean, I, I, I, I, I, I enjoy shopping. Shopping is fun. And I mean everything I Learned about luxury stuff. Is that good? I mean, if I, I think it's deterred me from certain things, but I think jewelry is a safe investment. Yes. Sometimes you're paying a little bit for the name, but until I find a jeweler, I just have to, you know, pony up and get the things. Until you find a good. How do you find a respected jeweler, one that you like, know and can like love and trust? I don't fucking know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't believe in this resale value thing of jewelry.
Monet
What do you mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, why would I buy your old ass Cartier bracelet? I can just go buy a brand new one for Lux.
Monet
But that's not how it works. You sell it so they can. Why you want to buy it like with the material. Cause then they melt it down. That's why you just want the cost of what the gold is. Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not saying everyone thought like with the resale value of this, everyone's like, this is an investment. Why would I want to buy your old ass bracelet when I can just buy.
Monet
That's what I'm saying. But you're not buying like if, if I go sell my bracelet. You're not buying a bracelet. Like when you sell it to a place, they melt the gold down. So you're paying for the value of the gold.
Bob the Drag Queen
People are like, this was an investment like this. I can give this to like, like, like people are talking like the, they talk about their bracelets as if their bracelets will accuse, will they will gain value.
Monet
Yeah, no, that's, I don't think that's what they're referring to. I think they're saying like this because.
Bob the Drag Queen
So what's the point of buying an
Monet
expensive bracelet because you want the cost of the gold. That's what I'm saying. It's stupid. It's stupid to buy a name brand thing. You should just buy, go to a jeweler again. And if you go to a jeweler who makes it, there is going to be a little markup. Right. They're not going to sell it to you for exactly what the gold costs. They're going to mark it up so they make a profit. But it's going to be, instead of it being $8,000 for a love bracelet, you may be paying $5,000 for something that should have cost three. So there's a $2,000 discrepancy, roughly.
Jacob
I also think the investment thing, part of it is true and then part of it is kind of like a marketing scam. Like for example, if you have like an old Tiffany or like an old Cartier watch from like the 1960s, like an older one. Those pieces are vintage and those pieces will be much higher than the piece they cost. So there is like vintage jewelry that if you got back at the time, is an investment because you get money from that because those pieces exist. A lot of other jewelers will try to upsell you being like, oh, yeah, yeah. This Cartier bracelet that it's an investment. Like in 50 years, it's gonna be a vintage Cartier piece and everyone's gonna want one. But that's not necessarily the case anymore because everyone is doing that now.
Monet
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Which is what I was saying. Cause like, when you buy your bracelets, you were like, you call it an investment. I don't understand how it's an investment
Monet
because I was investing in like the cost of the gold. But like, also because. But also, if I was to sell
Bob the Drag Queen
it, you could just buy the gold.
Monet
For example, this one right. When you buy that, it gets so many scratches on it. So it's not like who would want a scratched up bracelet. So that's what I was just saying.
Bob the Drag Queen
But if it's really an investment in the gold, you could just go buy an ounce of gold.
Jacob
Yeah, but it's also pretty. You could buy an ounce of gold and a hat, sit in your closet, or you could have an ounce of gold as like a watch, a ring, a thing that you can wear around and have it be pretty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet's saying it is an investment. The ounce of gold in your closet will actually be much more valuable than the ounce of gold of a bracelet. Because if you're selling an actual ounce of gold, the people don't have to worry about labor of melting it down, turning into something else. It's already. It's already in a chunk.
Monet
It's okay. So it's an investment you can wear. Right. Because I'm not going to have a chunk of. I'm not going to walk around with a gold brick in my hand, be like, oh, look what I have. But I will wear a bracelet and be like, oh, gold.
Jacob
It's a combination. It's true. It is not as much of an investment as just buying an ounce, but it's a combination investment and a thing you can wear.
Monet
So how much is an ounce of gold?
Bob the Drag Queen
$2,662.74.
Monet
And let's see. Okay, let me see how many. Let's look at how many ounces in my love bracelet. Hold on.
Bob the Drag Queen
I would see. I would guess that your Your bracelet is probably half an ounce of 0.7, maybe less than that in maybe 0.75 ounces.
Monet
Love bracelet. Let's see if I'm looking. Carney love bracelet has. Okay. Weighs around 32 grams. How much? How many fucking ounces? In a grammar.
Bob the Drag Queen
How many ounces are In a gram?
Advertisement Voice
One gram is equivalent to 0.0353 ounces.
Bob the Drag Queen
0.035.
Monet
So 32 times what? 0.32.
Bob the Drag Queen
Girl, that's not even. That's not even one tenth of a.
Monet
Of a. Wait, well, that's a. No, you're.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, no, no, no. Am I saying an ounce of. Gram. Ounce of.
Monet
Wait, how many grams? How many ounces are. How many. How many?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God, we're about to get a nosebleed.
Monet
How many grams make up an ounce? That's what you're trying to find out.
Bob the Drag Queen
One gram. Wait, how many. How many. How much. How many grams do you have? Wait, am I saying it? Wait, do you buy an ounce of gold or you buy a gram. You buy an ounce of gold?
Monet
I don't know. Probably. No, you probably buy a gram of gold, I would imagine.
Jacob
I just said.
Bob the Drag Queen
I said it a second ago. You buy an ounce of gold. Gold is really in ounces. So how many grams do you have?
Monet
32 grams.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, hold on.
Monet
Well, 32.4.
Bob the Drag Queen
32 grams of gold is not.
Monet
Sorry. No, no, no, no, no, no. I have this high 20. It's 37 gold.
Jacob
So it's about three quarters of an ounce.
Monet
Is it.
Jacob
That's what. That's what I. Yes, I believe so.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you have about. So you. What you actually have is a so and so. 75%. What is 75?
Jacob
75 to 80%. It may be closer to. It's around.
Monet
No, this is. This is 38 grams. And that is 1.3 ounces. It's 1.3 ounces.
Bob the Drag Queen
What. What's going on here? How many. Wait, freeze.
Monet
This bracelet.
Bob the Drag Queen
How many grams you have?
Monet
This bracelet is 38 grams. 38 grams equals 1.3.
Bob the Drag Queen
38 grams is how many ounces of gold?
Monet
1.3.
Advertisement Voice
38 grams is equal to 1.34 ounces.
Bob the Drag Queen
1.34 ounces. So you have in 1.3. So 1.3 times four times. Wait, hold on. One point. Oh, 1.34.
Monet
Well, actually should be 2.6.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have 2x2662. That's $3,800 worth of. Worth of gold for.
Monet
For one bracelet.
Bob the Drag Queen
For one bracelet.
Jacob
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's 30. That's. That's that's 300 worth of gold.
Monet
Okay. And you put in labor and like the name. So that's why they market it. So, so, so just bare. Bare materials. You have 33. $3,800. But you put in. You add in labor, then you put in the name brand. That's why it gets the crazy price it is.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I guess what I'm saying is if you took that honestly, I would have started trending. I'm going to buy one ounce of gold, put it on a cheap rope and wear that.
Monet
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I. And it's going to catch on. I'm going to. I don't know. I don't know where the hell I'm going to buy an ounce of gold. I wouldn't even know where to find an ounce of gold.
Monet
I'm sure you can just go to a place. I mean, I don't think you can just go buy. I mean, it won't cost $3,800.
Bob the Drag Queen
Buy gold. If I want to go buy gold
Monet
anywhere you go buy. And it's not going to cost. They're going to mark it up wherever you buy it from. Not unless you go to a mine and go mine it yourself. Like you're going. You're going to play a markup to buy the gold.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I don't think that's true.
Monet
Yes, it is. So someone did all the work. Someone did all the work to mine and clean and get the gold, and they're going to sell it to you at market value.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that this price, all that's included in the price.
Monet
I don't know if that's true. We're completely. You're completely guessing that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, you're guessing too, bitch. Can we have that conversation? Okay. Ampex is selling me an. You can buy an ounce of gold at Walmart.
Monet
I don't trust that gold.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm driving to the Walmart in motherfucking Burbank. I'm gonna get me an ounce of gold. It costs $2,700. I'm gonna wrap it. That. That is an investment.
Monet
Oh, God,
Bob the Drag Queen
Honey. That's how you invest. Now I need to find one of those hippies to wrap it in twine.
Monet
You gotta take it out $2700 and wrap it in some fucking twine from Trader Joe's.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm going to go to Home Depot or I'm going to go to. You know. You know, I was going to. I'm going to walk over to the
Monet
craft section at Walmart.
Bob the Drag Queen
At Walmart, y'. All Next. Next time y' all see me on this podcast, I will be wearing my ounce of gold necklace.
Monet
Must be nice. Just flexing on the girls. Just flexing on the girls. Your ounce of gold is around your neck.
Bob the Drag Queen
Next time you all see me on this podcast, I'll be wearing my. My investment.
Monet
And if y' all ever thought Bob wasn't part of the 1%, he just flexed on y' all right in this thing with his fucking 1% ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet. Put your wrist down.
Monet
Put your 1% ass.
Bob the Drag Queen
Put your wrist down. I'm just gonna.
Monet
Rolling. I had to work hard for what I had, okay?
Bob the Drag Queen
I had to.
Monet
I saved up for years to get my motherfucking jewelry.
Bob the Drag Queen
Just gonna float over that. I'm just going to float over that one. But, yeah, I think that, you know, the truth is I don't own any gold. I don't own any expensive jewelry at all.
Monet
You don't have anything?
Bob the Drag Queen
I have a pair of Versace earrings. You brought me in a ring.
Monet
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's all I have.
Monet
Really? So what do you just not. Are you just not into jewelry because you. I mean, you wear jewelry?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I got piece of jewelry on right now.
Monet
Yeah, but you just not into, like, metals or, like, expensive metals.
Bob the Drag Queen
Spending a lot of money on jewelry seems crazy to me. Like, spending that much money on jewelry to me seems crazy.
Monet
What do you. What do you spend a lot of money on? What is something that you spend a lot of money on?
Bob the Drag Queen
My home electronics. My family.
Jacob
Plane tickets for twinks.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob, you're not a twink anymore. But once upon a time, Jacob, that is true. And experiences like Broadway shows or. I don't go to that many concerts.
Monet
Yeah, I was watching this thing, this. I forgot who it was. It was some point in some celebrity person, they were saying, like, how, like, you know. You know, they worked really hard in their career and they don't spend a lot of extra shit because, like, you know, it's always a fear that it might go away, whatever. And I'm like, you know, yes, that is a fear that I think everyone who's an artist who creates their own art and who, like. Who lives like us. But I'm like, I also don't wanna live a life where I don't experience going to concerts. I really wanna go to, like, or going to Broadway shows or buying things I want because I'm like, God forbid, I want to die tomorrow. Like, I wanna also just enjoy the things that we work so hard for. Like, you know, when you were on the road for three Months. And I was home for one month a day out of those three months. Like, I worked really hard. And also to take care of my family, which I do. But also to be able to go to New York to go see Gypsy because they're opening. I really want to go see the show. And I love Audrey McDonald, you know what I mean? So I. I do like spending on experiences and stuff like that too.
Bob the Drag Queen
Also, this necklace. This is an actual cheetah tooth from a cheetah shark. They bred a cheetah and a shark. And this is one of the actual teeth.
Monet
Okay, all right, let's move on. Can you. Can you take anything seriously?
Bob the Drag Queen
You're not interested in a cheetah? See, this is why you don't like genetics. Let's see. You know what? Whatever. Don't worry about it.
Monet
You can't say anything.
Bob the Drag Queen
Seriously, if biology is annoying to you, then I'll just shut the hell up. If advances in biology.
Monet
First of all, you cannot mix species. You cannot mix a fish and a mammal. That's not how that works. Now, you could have maybe had us if you said a cheetah and a cheetah and a dolphin or cheetah and a whale. Cause those are mammals.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think a shark is a fish.
Monet
A shark is a fish. 100%. This is not a fanatic.
Bob the Drag Queen
A shark is a fish.
Monet
A shark is a fish. It is not this literally. Yes, there is nothing you can.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, a shark, a fish.
Monet
Correct.
Jacob
Yes, sharks are fish.
Bob the Drag Queen
Fish with a cartilaginous skeleton. Oh, sharks are fish.
Monet
So now if you said a whale or a dolphin, I'd have been like,
Bob the Drag Queen
no, you can mix shark. No, they're mixed a shark and a. I'm. I'm wearing the tooth. I'm literally wearing the tooth. I have evidence.
Monet
I think you along in the tooth trying to make it that up.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not what long in the tooth means. It means you're old.
Monet
Yeah. Old people should be wise and you're wise.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know where long the tooth came from?
Monet
From shark tooth?
Bob the Drag Queen
From horses teeth.
Monet
Do they have long teeth?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, the only way to really tell a horse's age at a certain like is kind of their teeth. That's why I say you never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Monet
You never look a what?
Bob the Drag Queen
You never looked a gift horse in the mouth.
Monet
A gift horse?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. The thing is, you never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Monet
What does that mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
Meaning if someone. If someone is gifting you a horse, you don't be like, and how old Is it? Let me check. Just take it. Just take the gift.
Monet
That's such a strange. Like, if someone gave me a horse. The age is the last thing I'm considering.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's why they say you never look a gift horse in the mouth. You agree with the saying, but I wouldn't.
Monet
But I'm saying I wouldn't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, Monet, you get it. Then you're on the same page as the thing. What they're saying is when. When you give someone a gift and they start inspecting it and going all over it and. And trying to see what's wrong with it, they're saying, you're ungrateful. Just take the gift.
Monet
Well, maybe the saying should say, you never see how fast a gift horse can run. Cause that's what I've been concerned with. That's what I've been looking for. I'm like, well, how fast can it run?
Bob the Drag Queen
But it's a gift, right?
Monet
But not the age is not the concern. It's how fast it can run is what I'm saying.
Bob the Drag Queen
But what I'm saying is, it's a gift.
Monet
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
So just take the gift or decline it. One of the two. Don't start expecting it.
Monet
When you get gifts, you n. I give you things, and you ask questions.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like what?
Monet
When I gifted you these, your fucking gemsies, you asked me all these questions, Monet, Are you doing it right? Monet, Are you sure it'll last that long? Monet, for the Louisville. It was a gift, nigga. You asked me questions.
Bob the Drag Queen
First of all, you were gluing something to my face, so, yeah, I just said, are they even? And I think I asked, too. I said, are they even? I wasn't saying, are you doing it right? I just said, are they even? I said, these feel uneven. Monet's adding questions. I said, are you doing. I said, are they even? They feel uneven. And by the way, oh, also, I bought these. I bought these from TikTok Shop, which is probably my new favorite purchase.
Jacob
What?
Monet
What am I looking at? I can't.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love these.
Monet
I can't.
Bob the Drag Queen
How cute are these?
Monet
Not very.
Bob the Drag Queen
These are my house Crocs for the holiday season. I'm obsessed. But I was not asking you tons of questions. I just asked if they were even.
Monet
What you did do is I was sitting on the bed, and Bob goes.
Bob the Drag Queen
I said. And I said, thank you.
Monet
No. Then you. Then before I started, he sticks his finger in my mouth. He like, oh, yeah, you got a little glue on that one.
Bob the Drag Queen
I said, oh, I did not touch your teeth. Yes, you did. I did not touch your teeth. You're making that up. Okay, so I did not stick my finger in your mouth. You're making that up.
Monet
What did you do?
Bob the Drag Queen
I looked and I pointed, but I did not touch your teeth. I never made physical. I would not stick my fingers in your mouth. That doesn't even sound something I would do as a joke.
Monet
Okay, you did it after you stick them in my pussy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's see. Now you're doing a bit like my shark tooth. Like my cheetah tooth.
Monet
So you admit that was a bit.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, it wasn't a bit. This was. You thought it. One of the things you thought it was a bit. This is actual science, and you're a science denier.
Monet
So Andy and I went to Cabo and we swam with whale sharks. Would you ever do something like that? Oh, no. You can't swim.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't get in the water.
Monet
Yeah, yeah, you don't swim. You got in the hot tub the other day. That was nice.
Bob the Drag Queen
But I didn't get in the pool section.
Monet
Yeah, just the hot tub. And I told Bob I would teach him how to swim. And he's like, everybody, every time I buy a bottle of water, a body of water, they're gonna teach you how to swim.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bottle of water. Anytime I walk past a bottle of water, someone tries to teach you to swim in the bottle of water. No, People have been trying to teach me to swim my whole life. I can't swim.
Monet
But what if you need to?
Bob the Drag Queen
I've made it this far.
Monet
We live in the Valley. You know, they say there's a crazy earthquake that's gonna happen in the Northeast, Northwest, Pacific Northwest. I mean, like, it's going to level, like, Portland and, like, parts of San Francisco, and it's gonna send surges down here. You might need to know how to swim.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, first of all, I don't live in the Valley. You live in the Valley. Let's make it.
Monet
You think only the Valley is gonna be Los Angeles, bitch. We are right by the water. We are. We are.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, if this thing comes.
Jacob
If.
Bob the Drag Queen
If the water is coming in like that, Monet. My little doggy paddle is not gonna do nothing. Monet. I. I will have a. Hopefully, I will have evacuated in time. I don't think that. I don't think Michael Phelps is gonna eat everybody up in this situation. These are. These are. This is tumultuous weather.
Monet
Imagine Michael Phelps was Aquaman this entire time. We had no idea. This nigga.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, he actually does have a genetic advantage.
Monet
Yeah, he has a wingspan. That's his arms, his lungs.
Bob the Drag Queen
Something about his lungs. I don't get it. But it's nothing about his lungs.
Monet
So he, so yeah, he has like
Bob the Drag Queen
bigger lungs or something or his lung capacity is different than which. I don't know how lung capacity, obviously it does, but somehow lung capacity affects
Monet
swimming because I think you can, I think, I think what it does when you first get off the block, he's able to go longer underwater where most people have to come up for air. I think maybe he's able to go along also when you, when you turn around, you kick back. You probably can go longer because you can swim faster underwater when you like do that.
Jacob
Phelps. His lung capacity is significantly higher than other athletes, 12 liters compared to an average lung capacity of 6 liters. This results in a higher supply of oxygen to the muscles, allowing him to perform for extended period of time before muscle fatigue. He also produces half the lactic acid of an average athlete, which helps him resist fatigue and recover faster. Between swims.
Bob the Drag Queen
He has twice the lung capacity of the average human.
Advertisement Voice
Twice.
Monet
That's wild.
Bob the Drag Queen
So, so it, it, he gets more oxygen to his muscle so he doesn't get tired as quickly. That's what it is interesting. You ever think advantage.
Monet
You ever think that like in some way, like there could be something, like, you ever think maybe there's some sport you could have been really great at, but you just like, I think about a lot of humans but you didn't know about it or you didn't know your family didn't know to cultivate it in you. Like what if you probably like you could have been a world class Batman player, like medals and Olympic things and you like, well, like you could be a world breaking history tennis player, but you just never did it. You ever think about that?
Bob the Drag Queen
Not really. Because it doesn't seem fun. Like I don't think I want to do those things. Like. And I also prefer what I'm doing now than to being like some famous Batman player. I do think that I would be a great archer. Still to this day I think I'm, I think I would be a remarkable marksman.
Monet
Yeah, I feel like I could have been a. I really feel like I could have been a really, really, really, really fear of something. I just don't know what it is.
Bob the Drag Queen
I ha. I just have like a good. I could just be like. I would have been that, that guy from Russia give me the silver.
Monet
Oh, you went for silver?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, that guy got silver, but would
Monet
you go for the gold?
Bob the Drag Queen
I Mean, I think everyone's going for the gold. You know, in racing, they just, like, give up. Sometimes they just, like, give it to their person sometimes.
Monet
Car, Human?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, they're like the foot races. They just give it to the other person or the other bike or the bike races. They'll be like. They'll be like. They'll like. They bargain at the finish line. I'll work.
Monet
I'm like, what's the word? If I get gold, I'll give you $10,000.
Jacob
Like that?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, they just get there and they're so tired. And someone's like, I'm just gonna let you have it. Like, I'm just gonna let you. I've seen that. They're like. They're like running and they're close, and they're like, someone's winning. They're like, all right, man. I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna. You're gonna get it this time, or you get to have it. But then the other person, then that person doesn't have to run as hard because you are just basically saying, I'm gonna give up. But there's like some legendary story of a guy who was told, the guy, you can have it, but then he lied, and he just. And when the guy started to slow down because he was gonna let him have it, he just took off. And apparently, that's poor sportsmanship.
Monet
I'll do that. That's what I'll do.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you. But you would be considered a bad, poor sportsman.
Monet
With my gold medal, though, is it worth it, though?
Bob the Drag Queen
You have a bad reputation, so. And that's how she won the crown. And with that, thank you for coming on my show. You told Trinity she would win, but then you didn't. And you tried to pull forward in the end, and she tied with you. She was neck and neck.
Monet
How thick do you think this microphone is?
Bob the Drag Queen
This microphone looks like it is about 8 to 9 inches around, girl.
Monet
11.
Bob the Drag Queen
11 inches around. How big do you think my microphone is? No, this is probably 8 inches around.
Monet
All right, I'll say it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm grabbing with my hand. I can almost get my hands to touch.
Monet
Let's see
Bob the Drag Queen
this microphone is. This microphone is nine inches around.
Monet
Now let's do our dicks next.
Bob the Drag Queen
Mine is a millimeter around.
Monet
Mine is 3 centimeters.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is what a 9 inch penis would be if someone was really.
Monet
I mean, nine inch around.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not really. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Monet around. We've been discussing this at conference the whole time.
Monet
I know, but just for people. You know what people? Not everyone's watching the podcast, Bob.
Bob the Drag Queen
But we've been discussing. We've been saying around the whole time. We've been saying around.
Monet
Yeah, but we don't know what you just did.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was listening.
Monet
You started moving your. You started moving your mic into the home, but we didn't know what was
Jacob
going on over there.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, goodbye.
Monet
Bye, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Goodbye. Have a goodbye. No, you know what?
Monet
I'm just gonna say, you know what? Bad bye. Have a bad bye.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let me call my friend Alfredo.
Monet
Bad bye.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who's obviously not happy in your home right now.
Monet
Bad bye. He can go stand by you tonight. Pack it. He's calling. Pack your bag. I'm gonna leave.
Bob the Drag Queen
Bye.

Hosts: Bob the Drag Queen & Monét X Change
In this hilarious and candid episode, Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change dive into their shopping habits—from luxury bags and knockoff jewelry to the dangers of TikTok Shop and infomercials. Along the way, they get sidetracked by debates about voice rankings, home invasions, New York vs. Atlanta, and how neither of them is actually part of the 1% (despite flexing hard). It’s an episode about materialism, scams, shopping addictions, friendship, and the difference between an “investment you can wear” and just wearing a gold brick. Fans of Sibling Rivalry’s signature blend of quick wit, irreverent banter, and surprisingly deep takes will love this one.
Recommended for: Drag Race fans, shopaholics, spreadsheet nerds, and anyone who’s ever considered spending $60 on something suggested by TikTok. Even if you skip the malls, you’ll enjoy the ride.
