Monet X Change
Drag Queen and I'm Monet Xchange and.
[02:37]
Bob the Drag Queen
This is sibling rivalry. On this week's episode I Lose a tooth, Gem.
[02:58]
Monet X Change
We talk about shopping, and we found.
[03:00]
Bob the Drag Queen
Out what made Monet say this.
[03:02]
Monet X Change
4 inches is crazy. And we find out what made Bob say this.
[03:06]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God, we're about to get an Oakley. Monet. I want to ask you a question. How do you feel about my voice?
[03:15]
Monet X Change
Like in. What do you mean, how do I feel about it? What does that mean?
[03:18]
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, how do I sound? Does it. Does it. When you hear my. My voice, does it. Does it bring you joy? Does it give you anxiety? Does it. Do you think it's. Is the timbre of my voice delightful? Am I a James Earl Jones type? Am I a voice?
[03:33]
Monet X Change
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 missed him. But I think you have a voice like, James Earl Jones is a great.
[03:46]
Bob the Drag Queen
I miss them, but I don't use them pronouns.
[03:49]
Monet X Change
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 thing. That's like a super pleasant voice. You're, like, world respected as a voice or world renowned as a voice that's just neutral.
[04:04]
Bob the Drag Queen
And how about Morgan Freeman?
[04:07]
Monet X Change
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, because, like, do you know who has a good voice? DDG has a good voice.
[04:21]
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know who that is.
[04:22]
Monet X Change
Halle Bailey's baby daddy. His. Cause he speaks up here, but his real voice is down here. He has a really low voice. And I mean, I think lower voices are nice. Your voice is. You don't have a low voice, so you only.
[04:37]
Bob the Drag Queen
You have to have a low voice to have a nice voice.
[04:38]
Monet X Change
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. Whose voice is a 10 ddg for me and who's.
[04:57]
Bob the Drag Queen
And so where now. Now, what do you give me knowing that? Whose voice is like a. Like a. Like a one like you're. Like this voice is.
[05:02]
Monet X Change
I like a shrill voice?
[05:04]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
[05:05]
Monet X Change
I'm trying to think. Megan Mulally has a shrill. Well, no, sorry. Her character, Karen Walker on Will and Grace has a shrill voice.
[05:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
What about a masculine voice? Because I'm obviously going to be on that spectrum. So what about a masculine voice that's.
[05:17]
Monet X Change
A masculine, shrill voice?
[05:19]
Bob the Drag Queen
Does it have to be sh. The high pitchness make it bad?
[05:23]
Monet X Change
I think so. I don't think that's pleasant to hear when you're waiting.
[05:25]
E
I stopped talking.
[05:26]
Monet X Change
Like, 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.
[05:33]
Bob the Drag Queen
Sometimes I like a really light, bubbly voice. You said a really light, pleasant, bubbly voice. That's really.
[05:39]
Monet X Change
What was a light male voice that's bubbly that you like.
[05:43]
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.
[05:49]
Monet X Change
Say, like, Mikey has a light male voice.
[05:51]
Bob the Drag Queen
Mikey has a light lady voice, but.
[05:54]
Monet X Change
Someone who has a. What makes a lady voice? No. Well, Mikey's a male and Mikey has.
[05:58]
Bob the Drag Queen
A light male voice, but Mikey's voice identifies as female.
[06:03]
Monet X Change
Mikey has a male voice.
[06:05]
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.
[06:15]
Monet X Change
Jay Jackson.
[06:16]
Bob the Drag Queen
Josh Jackson? I said Josh Jackson.
[06:17]
Monet X Change
Oh, the guy that did all the specials last year, like 20 specials, whatever.
[06:21]
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.
[06:28]
Monet X Change
I'm not really familiar. So I don't know. I don't know what Josh sounds like.
[06:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
Make some noise for Josh, Jack.
[06:33]
Monet X Change
Right.
[06:34]
Alfredo
And so then you know, Bob, that.
[06:37]
Monet X Change
Is a low voice. Yeah. So then he has a. That is. That. That is a low speaking voice.
[06:44]
Bob the Drag Queen
You the expert on voices now?
[06:47]
Monet X Change
A lot of opera singers like, oh, you weren't there. Oh, you didn't come to the opera. There was this guy who was in the show. His name was Turn of Satan and Turn of Satan? Yes, Bob, his name is Turn of Satan. That is his name. Turner Stayton.
[07:05]
Bob the Drag Queen
Satan Turner.
[07:08]
Monet X Change
Satan was in the show. And why are you saying Satan, bitch? Stay tun. Stay 10. Stay 10.
[07:14]
Bob the Drag Queen
We're saying. I feel. I'm saying Satan. You're saying Satan.
[07:19]
Monet X Change
Okay, anyway, I'm not playing.
[07:21]
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.
[07:26]
Monet X Change
Satan Staten.
[07:28]
Bob the Drag Queen
You're saying stay in that Was not clear.
[07:31]
Monet X Change
I said it 19. Can y'all please comment below? I literally said stay tin. S, T A T O N. Stay tin. I said it 14 times.
[07:38]
Bob the Drag Queen
You didn't spell it, but go ahead, continue.
[07:40]
Monet X Change
I did. You were 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. Oh, but never as much as you. Mitch, can we please put that clip? Cause we did not.
[07:55]
Bob the Drag Queen
But never as much as you.
[07:56]
Monet X Change
Mitch likes to pick sides. We need to put that clip.
[08:00]
Bob the Drag Queen
Make sure we know that.
[08:03]
Monet X Change
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 ya? But he's not doing.
[08:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
That's just.
[08:13]
Monet X Change
That's how his voice sounds. I find that I like a voice like that too.
[08:17]
Bob the Drag Queen
I think someone with a high pitched voice that I like. I don't think it has to be deep throughout.
[08:20]
Monet X Change
You don't. You can name one.
[08:22]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, of course I can. Give me a second. Because I've heard them before. Like Zach Noy Towers has a higher pitched voice.
[08:30]
Monet X Change
Play Zach.
[08:32]
Bob the Drag Queen
Hold on. Okay. I hate looking up stuff in the air.
[08:35]
Monet X Change
If I remember, Zach does have a. He speaks in a. He speaks. He has a higher pitch.
[08:41]
Bob the Drag Queen
Thanks.
[08:45]
Monet X Change
Okay, so first of all, his name.
[08:48]
E
Is Yale, which I think we can.
[08:51]
Monet X Change
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?
[08:58]
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't say that.
[08:59]
Monet X Change
You literally said earlier. You said, you said. You said no. You said, you said no. Mikey. Mikey has a female voice, which is nice.
[09:03]
Bob the Drag Queen
But I wouldn't say, like, if I heard Mikey's voice completely disembodied, I would not be like, that's a guy talking.
[09:10]
Monet X Change
I feel like Zach and Mikey are similar. If I did not know who that was, I would have thought that was a woman speaking, not Zach Noy Towers.
[09:17]
Bob the Drag Queen
Really? Zach's voice?
[09:19]
Monet X Change
Yes.
[09:21]
Bob the Drag Queen
Hold on. Listen again, like the Yale rapist. Well, he. No, he's doing. He's that point. He literally did a thing. He went the. He went up after that. It's healthy and active with a modicum of decorum.
[09:33]
Monet X Change
Bob, that sounds like Ross Matthews. That sounds like a woman speaking.
[09:37]
E
I don't know.
[09:38]
Bob the Drag Queen
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 now give my voice a rating and then Give your voice 1.
[09:50]
Monet X Change
I think you're neutral. I think you're. You're right. You come right in the middle at five.
[09:54]
Bob the Drag Queen
Five is not neutral.
[09:55]
Monet X Change
That is in the middle.
[09:56]
Bob the Drag Queen
It's literally in the middle.
[09:57]
Monet X Change
It's neutral.
[09:58]
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.
[10:12]
Monet X Change
Okay, are we talking about. See, but the scale was not passing or failing. If the scale was 10 being, like extremely pleasant. 5. 0, 0 being unpleasant. 5 is in your middle. You're neutral.
[10:27]
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 they said. When you said rape me, when they said five, you'd be like, damn.
[10:40]
Monet X Change
But that depends on what scale we're using. So now we're going from passing, failing.
[10:44]
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.
[10:52]
Monet X Change
I'm not talking about look, talking about your voice.
[10:54]
Bob the Drag Queen
I know. So I'm using the same. The same concept.
[10:56]
Monet X Change
So you want to use that. Okay. Okay.
[10:58]
Bob the Drag Queen
So then. Same concept for voices.
[11:00]
Monet X Change
So I'll give you a six then.
[11:02]
Bob the Drag Queen
What do you.
[11:04]
Monet X Change
I don't know. 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.
[11:10]
Bob the Drag Queen
You're a six or seven, but I'm a five or six.
[11:11]
Monet X Change
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. That I do when I. When I'm doing stuff like classic.
[11:25]
Bob the Drag Queen
I said I could do that.
[11:27]
Monet X Change
Let's hear it then.
[11:28]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, if I wanted to use a voice that was probably deeper in timber and I wanted to have a voice that didn't sound timber.
[11:36]
Monet X Change
Timber, bitch.
[11:37]
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.
[11:50]
Monet X Change
Yeah. So I'll give you a five, six.
[11:53]
Bob the Drag Queen
Then I'm gonna give you a four or five.
[11:55]
E
Okay.
[11:56]
Monet X Change
Do you wanna say thank you for your. For your. For your Jim Z that I gave you?
[12:01]
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 wanna say thank you. No. Bitch.
[12:12]
Monet X Change
How did it come off and almost ship your tooth?

Oh, so then fast forward to. It's 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 2:00, 3:00 in the 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.
[15:29]
Bob the Drag Queen
Knocked.
[15:30]
Monet X Change
What?
[15:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
I knocked and he came in.
[15:34]
Monet X Change
And then Bob comes in. And then so Bob derobes, 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 under my bed, minding my business.
[15:44]
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.
[15:49]
Monet X Change
It is literally off the hinges, nigga. You kicked my door in.
[15:51]
Bob the Drag Queen
I went, knock, knock, knock. Hello, can I come in?
[15:54]
Monet X Change
So Bob comes in. He's like, monet, what's on your teeth?
[15:58]
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not how I.
[16:00]
Monet X Change
You go like, monet, what's on your teeth? I was like, it's Gen Z's. He's like, 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, monat, do it for me. I was like, bob, the instruction, just do it for yourself. And then he.
[16:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
You've already read the instructions.
[16:31]
Monet X Change
So he comes over there and he's. He's. He's feigning to do it himself, cuz 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.
[16:44]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yo. Yeah, now. Now I believe you did it yourself. Cause I was brushing my teeth. I was not like. I was not going in. I was like, just brushing my teeth. Look normal, boy teeth.
[16:52]
Monet X Change
That's the time you make when you brush your teeth.
[16:54]
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.
[17:07]
Monet X Change
I mean, I did mine and mine.
[17:10]
Bob the Drag Queen
Didn'T fall off so well, must be nice. The GM 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.
[17:24]
Monet X Change
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.
[17:37]
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, that is very Atlanta.
[17:39]
Monet X Change
Down in Atlanta are wild. Y'all are wild over there. Down in Atlanta.
[17:42]
Bob the Drag Queen
I know a New Yorker didn't say nobody was. I know a New Yorker did not just crack their. Their sparkly little Jim Z mouth to say anything about what's going on in Atlanta.
[17:49]
Monet X Change
You literally were just saying it. And as I said it, I know.
[17:53]
Bob the Drag Queen
You have no room to talk. In fact, let's talk about how you have no room after this break.

[22:07]

You brought mine over to my house the other day. I don't want no soft cover. I don't like softcover. But I want a hardcover.
[22:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
It's an advanced reader's edition.
[22:14]
Monet X Change
Okay, but when the hardcover comes, I want a hard one.
[22:17]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, then go to readthedradqueen.com and get one, bitch.

Monet X Change
Bitch, I paid for 50% of that goddamn book.
[22:23]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, you didn't.
[22:24]
Monet X Change
Yes, the hell I did, Monet.
[22:26]
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't even have a hard copy.
[22:27]
Monet X Change
Well, when you get a hard copy, I want the first one. I want the first edition.
[22:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'll send you a link.
[22:32]
Monet X Change
No, thank you. Bitch. I will come. You know I will come to the amount of merch I Stole from you. You don't even know. I will come to PG and take what I want.
[22:39]
Bob the Drag Queen
And 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 intake. Colleen a potato.
[22:50]
Monet X Change
Honestly. Take them. Take them.
[22:52]
Bob the Drag Queen
Colleen was trying to be sweet the other day. La bitch. Yo, fake ass. You so fake.
[22:55]
Monet X Change
Yo. You're fake. Because y'all. Colleen was being sweet to Bob and Bob literally got the phone to take a picture with Colleen. Colleen smelt the fake shit. And she literally ran away when you pulled your phone out. Cause you're like, this is not fake.
[23:05]
Bob the Drag Queen
I wanted to. I wanted to document it. That's. How is that fake? To document your. Your. Your. Your friendship with. With an animal?
[23:11]
Monet X Change
Cause you fake. Cause Colleen, because you. Because you was gonna put on for the camera. You don't act like that when the camera's not on.
[23:17]
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 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.
[23:30]
Monet X Change
Colleen does scream a lot.
[23:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
Colleen is always screaming because you're always screaming.
[23:34]
Monet X Change
No, that's not.
[23:34]
Bob the Drag Queen
She's a product of her surroundings.
[23:36]
Monet X Change
That's not how that works, boo.
[23:37]
Bob the Drag Queen
And Andy is. And Andy's anxious, so potato's anxious. You see how it works real quick? I have a. I have. I never understood shopping addictions until online shopping.
[23:50]
Monet X Change
TikTok.
[23:51]
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.
[24:02]
Monet X Change
How old are you? 49.
[24:04]
Bob the Drag Queen
I am 38. I bought the AB Lounge. I bought the Express 101. I bought the Magic Bullet. I bought the Ab Roller. I bought the. I mean, can't even remember. Keep up. If it. If it had an infomercial, I would purchase it.
[24:20]
Monet X Change
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.
[24:39]
Bob the Drag Queen
In infomercial store they go for hours.
[24:41]
Monet X Change
Hours.
[24:42]
Bob the Drag Queen
And like so pretty much late at night on certain channels, all they had was infomercials.
[24:48]
Monet X Change
Yeah, it would be like.
[24:50]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, same infomercial back to back to back to back. Or the same three. So you see like Billy Mays. Billy Mays.
[24:59]
Monet X Change
What? He was a food guy.
[25:00]
Bob the Drag Queen
He was OxiClean.
[25:02]
Monet X Change
OxiClean.
[25:03]
Bob the Drag Queen
And he might have been. And then. And then you had the Shamwow guy who then. I can't remember.
[25:07]
Monet X Change
He died too.
[25:08]
Bob the Drag Queen
All.
[25:09]
Monet X Change
All of them died.
[25:10]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I don't think that. I don't think the Shamwell guy's dead.
[25:13]
Monet X Change
Something happened to the Shamwell. It was a thing I remember seeing.
[25:15]
Bob the Drag Queen
And then you have the lady from Express 101.
[25:17]
Monet X Change
What the fuck is Express 101? VPN.
[25:19]
Bob the Drag Queen
Express 101 is like these. It's like a. Imagine a George Foreman grill. But there's. But there's. 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.
[25:37]
Monet X Change
Okay.
[25:38]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
[25:38]
Monet X Change
The Shamwa guy was arrested for beating. For beating up a prostitute.
[25:41]
Bob the Drag Queen
Damn. Yeah, you can make. You can make cakes. Like a personalized cake. Like this big. Not a cupcake. Imagine, basically two cupcakes side by side. But it's like this. And you can make. You can make them. So that way if you. If you. 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.
[25:59]
Monet X Change
That's so that's all it did was make cakes.
[26:01]
Bob the Drag Queen
It also made omelets. It made a. It can make a chicken. A chicken parm. It can. I made a cordon bleu.
[26:06]
Monet X Change
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, that, that. That's when you have the chicken stuffed with like ham in it or something. And cheese.
[26:28]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, it's. It's breaded Chicken with ham and cheese in it.
[26:31]
Monet X Change
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.
[26:38]
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I make you a turkey chicken cordon bleu?
[26:40]
Monet X Change
No, I don't want no cord on nothing.
[26:43]
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't want to cord on anything. What about you? You got a cord on your microphone. So you've never purchased anything from infomercial ever?
[26:51]
Monet X Change
Never. Never. I think, I think one thing that I did, this was like right, like right after college, my grandmother purchased for me. I got the six week beach body makeover. Do you remember this?
[27:06]
Bob the Drag Queen
I was P90X.
[27:07]
Monet X Change
No, this wasn't, 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 that feels like shade.
[27:14]
Bob the Drag Queen
Did you ask for it?
[27:15]
Monet X Change
No. Yeah, I asked for it. I wanted it.
[27:17]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I'm about to say. Cause if someone, if someone bought me a beach fry, I'd be like, what the fuck?
[27:22]
Monet X Change
Yeah, the sissy bottom makeover. See, I've never been. I never been. I was never an 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.
[27:35]
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?
[27:44]
Monet X Change
Oh my God. Is that the measuring tape?
[27:46]
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a measuring tape girl. This thing is a game change. Monetous walk. Monet, Monet Got that waddle, honey, waddle, waddle, baby.
[27:59]
Monet X Change
I bought it too.
[28:00]
Bob the Drag Queen
This makes fittings a breeze.
[28:04]
Monet X Change
I mean, does it though for me.
[28:06]
Bob the Drag Queen
Because it makes measuring your waist easier. You don't. I mean, how big is your wrist? Minus four inches.
[28:14]
Monet X Change
Impossible. You're such a liar.
[28:16]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, it is.
[28:17]
Monet X Change
Bob, there is no way your wrist is fucking 4 inches.
[28:19]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes it is.
[28:20]
Monet X Change
No, because your wrist is at least seven. Let me see.
[28:29]
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you see it?
[28:30]
Monet X Change
No, I can't see it. But Bob, there's no way your wrist is seven. We wear the same outfits and our sleeves fits the same.
[28:36]
Bob the Drag Queen
It's five.
[28:39]
Monet X Change
What?
[28:40]
Bob the Drag Queen
Five.
[28:42]
Monet X Change
Bob, that's impossible. We wear the same.
[28:45]
Bob the Drag Queen
Look at the fucking numbers, bitch. My wrist is five inches. Like a little over five.
[28:50]
Monet X Change
Bob. Let me see the other side.
[28:52]
Bob the Drag Queen
Show me yours.
[28:54]
Monet X Change
You are so full of shits. You are such a liar.
[29:01]
Bob the Drag Queen
You was really. You was really? Like, what is happening?
[29:03]
Monet X Change
I was like. I was like, how, bitch? I was like, how much weight have you lost? Did you lose a whole potato? God damn. Four inches is crazy.
[29:10]
Bob the Drag Queen
How much is your wrist?
[29:11]
Monet X Change
Seven.
[29:12]
Bob the Drag Queen
My wrist is seven inches. Give me your neck.
[29:15]
Monet X Change
My neck? I think my neck is maybe 16. No, 17.
[29:21]
Bob the Drag Queen
Are we the same size all over?
[29:23]
Monet X Change
I think so. Oh, no. I mean, but this is, like, choking me, though. This is.
[29:29]
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.
[29:33]
Monet X Change
Oh, I'm. I'm 15 and what, like a 15 and a quarter?
[29:36]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm 16 and a half.
[29:37]
Monet X Change
Damn, nigga, you be swole.
[29:41]
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think my neck is swole. And now you really want to get. You really want to outdo me? Measure that head.
[29:47]
Monet X Change
Oh, I know my head is big.
[29:49]
Bob the Drag Queen
If you really want to show me up, measure that noggin.
[29:51]
Monet X Change
Gag. You want to gag when we have the same motherfucking size sitting here?
[29:55]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not taking my headpiece off because my hair is looking crumble. I'm 23.
[30:01]
Monet X Change
I'm 23 and a quarter.
[30:02]
Bob the Drag Queen
Mine says 23 as well.
[30:05]
Monet X Change
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.
[30:10]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, no, mine is. Mine says 23. Yeah, 23.
[30:13]
Monet X Change
Oh, wait, no, mine is 17.
[30:14]
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 because 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 it comes to this.
[30:28]
Monet X Change
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.
[30:43]
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 hand Dexter, by the way, y'all, 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?
[31:24]
Monet X Change
No.
[31:25]
Bob the Drag Queen
They were having fun in the video. You tell me about. You telling me about, let's bring it.
[31:29]
Alfredo
To Monet and Andy's Christmas party.
[31:31]
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 will 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.
[31:40]
Monet X Change
Let us have fun.
[31:41]
Bob the Drag Queen
Let us have fun.
[31:42]
Monet X Change
I won't touch it. Y'all know Bob. Dude, Bob will make me want to do it.
[31:46]
Bob the Drag Queen
Like Monet.
[31:46]
Monet X Change
I want to see how strong you are. You will make me do it.
[31:48]
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.
[31:53]
Monet X Change
Perfect.
[31:53]
Bob the Drag Queen
And you sit in the corner.
[31:55]
Monet X Change
Perfect.
[31:55]
Bob the Drag Queen
And watch us with hand.
[31:57]
Monet X Change
Dexter, you are so. Wait, what. What. What are 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.
[32:09]
Alfredo
Chips.
[32:09]
Monet X Change
What?
[32:10]
Bob the Drag Queen
We bought some chips.
[32:11]
Monet X Change
No, the invite says to bring a cooked meal.
[32:14]
Bob the Drag Queen
Someone cooked.
[32:15]
Alfredo
No, the partyful invite says, are you bring. Planning on bringing food? If so, what are you going to bring?
[32:20]
Bob the Drag Queen
So do you even know what you.
[32:21]
Alfredo
Wrote so you can say, no, I'm not planning on bringing food.
[32:24]
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?
[32:30]
Monet X Change
Andy did. Not me. Clearly, there will be an amendment going out on this. On this thing.
[32:36]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, we've already. We already ordered our chips on the TikTok shop.
[32:42]
Monet X Change
Oh, this reminds me, y'all, I bought.

[33:14]
Bob the Drag Queen
It's a marketing tactic. She says this to you all because you'll. Because you keep believing in Monet. Monet is not done with this show. Monet is doing this. She's playing. She's playing, y'all. I would never do this to my fans. This came yesterday, but you should go to the show.
[33:26]
Monet X Change
I got the Juvia's place powders because someone's talking about how amazing they were, and, girl, let me say something. I would. I just. I just. I have so much thing. So many things from TikTok. It's insane.
[33:37]
Bob the Drag Queen
Juvia's place like that. Okay. I bought this.

Monet X Change
I bought it. I didn't send. I bought it myself.

Monet X Change
Yeah, yeah. TikTok. Yeah.

Bob the Drag Queen
This is my dumbest purchase.
[33:45]
Monet X Change
What? What is it?
[33:48]
Bob the Drag Queen
What does it look like to you?
[33:49]
Monet X Change
A museum. But like a. A pov. I don't fucking know.
[33:56]
Bob the Drag Queen
Describe what you're looking at.
[33:57]
Monet X Change
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.
[34:12]
Bob the Drag Queen
How deep do you think this thing is?
[34:14]
Monet X Change
I know it's. It's just a picture, but I think it's just.
[34:16]
Bob the Drag Queen
How deep do you think it is? Like, how deep do you think it goes?
[34:19]
Monet X Change
Like. Like what I'm seeing or how physically. How deep it is?
[34:22]
Bob the Drag Queen
Physically like what you're seeing? What? Describe the shape you're looking at right now.
[34:25]
Monet X Change
It's a square or it's a cube. Oh, you. 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.
[34:41]
Bob the Drag Queen
Isn't that cool? Isn't that cool?
[34:46]
Monet X Change
Wait, did you turn it around? Wait, go back the other way.
[34:52]
Bob the Drag Queen
And.
[34:52]
Monet X Change
Turn it face forward to me. No, no.
[34:56]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, like this?
[34:56]
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wait, so what?
[35:01]
Bob the Drag Queen
It's gagging. See? This was not a waste of money.
[35:03]
Alfredo
Wait, turn it to the left and right.
[35:08]
Monet X Change
That's okay. That is cool. That's fucking cool, dude.
[35:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
See? Thank you for validating that. And I 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.
[35:22]
Monet X Change
So that's cool.
[35:24]
Bob the Drag Queen
Gaggy.
[35:24]
Monet X Change
Okay, that's cool. Okay, you ate. You ate that.
[35:28]
Bob the Drag Queen
But I don't know how to get it to mount to my wall.
[35:32]
Monet X Change
Oh, my God.
[35:33]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God. Look how cool that looks.
[35:36]
Monet X Change
Yeah, that's cool. I was watching a video about how, like, things like that are just like. Let's take a break. I'll tell you about the video I saw.

Apparently ain't no N 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 channel that I bought that is just like, I'm so terrified of these.
[38:51]
Monet X Change
What? Oh, God. You came over to my house. Wait, did you charge them? Do they work?
[39:01]
Bob the Drag Queen
They're charged.
[39:02]
Monet X Change
Can you do it right now? Can you give us a test on camera?
[39:05]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, Free said that he would do them first. I'm scared. So free up.
[39:11]
Monet X Change
Yeah, tell them what it is.
[39:12]
Bob the Drag Queen
Have you ever seen a hoverboard? This is two individual hoverboards for each free foot bob.
[39:17]
Monet X Change
They're called. They're called skates. They're literally skates. You describe a skateboard bob like, okay, it's like a skateboard, but it's an individual skateboard for each foot. No, bitch, it's a skate.
[39:27]
Bob the Drag Queen
This can't be safe.
[39:28]
Monet X Change
It sounds incredibly unsafe.
[39:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
If your feet were well, would you do it? Yes, it's incredibly unsafe. Tie me up. This is. I am.
[39:42]
Monet X Change
So how do they adhere to your feet? Are there a strap or anything?
[39:45]
Bob the Drag Queen
They don't. You just stand on them and people.
[39:48]
Monet X Change
And in the video, do people make it look easy?
[39:51]
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.
[39:56]
Monet X Change
Not these.
[39:57]
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.
[40:04]
Monet X Change
Got it. Yeah. I. I mean, this. I've also bought. I bought a lot of nails. I have a lot of TikTok nails.
[40:09]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my. I can't even. Did I put you under the nails?
[40:12]
Monet X Change
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.
[40:19]
Bob the Drag Queen
You must have looked it up. Your phone's not listening to me. You must have looked it up. They don't just know.
[40:22]
Monet X Change
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.
[40:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
Allegedly. It's been disproven.
[40:32]
Monet X Change
Well, then how does that happen then?
[40:34]
Bob the Drag Queen
At some point, you probably. You probably search for a nail. I mean, you're a drag queen. You probably search for a nail as well.
[40:38]
Monet X Change
No, I'm talking about the button specifically with me and Patty. We were talking about buttons for this outfit. Good Boys Making Me. We talked about it.
[40:44]
Bob the Drag Queen
When you talked about it, did you just quickly. You quickly Google buttons? Because you know these are all sharing. They're all selling information to each other.
[40:50]
Monet X Change
No, Patty maybe. Patty maybe looked for it because he was looking on his. On his Amazon. And then that same night, maybe.
[40:56]
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.
[41:00]
Monet X Change
Anyway, yes, I have a lot of TikTok nails. I love me a TikTok now.
[41:04]
Bob the Drag Queen
Now I have.
[41:05]
Monet X Change
They're here to miss, though. Sometimes that. Sometimes they are too. The large ones are like, this is not a large.
[41:10]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, that's true. Jacob. Jacob. I put a nail on Jacob this morning. I don't know if he still has it on.
[41:14]
Monet X Change
Like a cunty nail.
[41:17]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, a cunty has TikTok nail.
[41:20]
Monet X Change
Well, Jake, motherfucker Jake.
[41:21]
Bob the Drag Queen
Probably extra small, girl. It's on his thumb. And let's just say it's not a thumbnail. I gagged. Are you wearing the nail now?
[41:32]
Alfredo
I'm not. I took it off.
[41:34]
Monet X Change
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 be. I still am, but I found out about the whole scam with these luxury bags. Did you hear about this?
[41:49]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, Bitch.
[41:51]
Monet X Change
So specifically, Dior. Dior, you know, is a. Is a luxury brand. You know, whatever. And there's this. This Lux. It's in my house. I'm not. My feet are not. Well, I can't. I should have brought some. Something. Anyway, it's a Dior bag. It retails for like. It retails for $4,200, right. Come to find out, the bag cost them like $50 to make.
[42:16]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, okay.
[42:18]
Monet X Change
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 and stuff and the materials, at least you looking at at least like, five hundred to a thousand.
[42:29]
Bob the Drag Queen
And on this day, Monet figured out what late stage capitalism was. Yeah, Monet.
[42:33]
Monet X Change
The market for that is crazy. $50 to $4200.
[42:37]
Bob the Drag Queen
Monae, think about the sodas you drink at restaurants.
[42:41]
Monet X Change
Mm.
[42:42]
Bob the Drag Queen
Or the soda you buy in a can. The bottle costs more than the soda.
[42:48]
Monet X Change
Yeah.
[42:48]
Bob the Drag Queen
The bottle that the soda is stored in costs them more money to make than the soda itself.
[42:56]
Monet X Change
That I knew. But I think when, like, you know.
[42:58]
Bob the Drag Queen
And they turn around and sell it to you for a buck 75 with.
[43:01]
Monet X Change
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.
[43:12]
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.
[43:30]
Monet X Change
And selling, I assure you.
[43:33]
Bob the Drag Queen
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.
[43:55]
Monet X Change
And, like, and again. And, like, sometimes. And to them, I'm like, bitch, for all these, like, luxury bags I have, I should just go and buy the fucking knockoff bags. Like, why would.
[44:03]
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you know that a lot of times they're actually made in the same factories.
[44:05]
Monet X Change
I know, that's. I heard that too. And I was like, yo. I mean. But has that really been proven, though? I've heard that rumor for a long time, but has that been debunked?
[44:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
I've never proven it. I've not done my own research, as they say. But allegedly, honey. Allegedly.
[44:19]
Monet X Change
I mean, with my Cartier drew, right? I bought. Yeah, I have a bunch of some Cartier stuff, and I got stolen. It all got stolen in Jan. In this past summer. And I don't think I've.
[44:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
You.
[44:31]
Monet X Change
You knew about it? I don't think I was. Anyway, it got stolen in January and.
[44:34]
Bob the Drag Queen
In June, and I'm like, on the Airtag episode.
[44:38]
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. And then, and then I purchased some new pieces and I'm like now looking up like the resale value of like high end luxury jewelry and like basically 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 because not the same. You can't get the same thing made because I think there's some type of trademarks and copyrights, whatever. You can't get like example, if you want the juiced on clue 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 cause for Cartier. You're paying for the name. You're paying cause the retail value of like a.
[45:22]
Bob the Drag Queen
How many sentences have you started?
[45:24]
Monet X Change
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 costs. 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.
[45:44]
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like I told you this, but I'm duped.
[45:47]
Monet X Change
But I've been drinking the Kool Aid.
[45:48]
Bob the Drag Queen
For so long, but I feel like I told you this.
[45:54]
Monet X Change
No, I don't think you told me that specifically.
[45:56]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I mean I will say I will buy a luxury bag. And when I say luxury, I'm not talking like a Christian Dior or a Birkin.
[46:09]
Monet X Change
You wanted a Birkin, Bob. You did want a Birkin at one point.
[46:12]
Bob the Drag Queen
I might buy a Birkin, but I've never actually gone through with the purchase. Whenever I look at the price, I always get stuck. 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 re. They're. The Gucci one is much less expensive than some of the other ones and they, they just, they replace it.
[46:46]
Monet X Change
Yeah. If he. 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 gu. Sewing, they'll replace it for you for free. Like they don't like.
[46:55]
Bob the Drag Queen
It shouldn't be always popping.
[46:56]
Monet X Change
I know that's. It was the once 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.
[47:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm not really, I'm not really. I mean I'm. I, I like to spend, I like to buy things, but I'm not really like a luggage. Like the other day, me and Monet. This was crazy.
[47:22]
Monet X Change
Oh, God. What? Stop. Anytime you started sentence was you. You be like me and Monet. Then you stop and you say, this is crazy. I'm like, what, What?
[47:29]
Bob the Drag Queen
What?
[47:30]
Monet X Change
What you about to say?
[47:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
I told Mon. I was like, I think my next car is going to be a Mercedes or maybe a Lemon.
[47:35]
Monet X Change
Oh my God.
[47:39]
Bob the Drag Queen
That's all I said, my next car. I think my next car would be either Mercedes or Alexus. Monat said, oh, you didn't say.
[47:46]
Monet X Change
Okay, you already. You didn't say Lex. You said Mercedes to me.
[47:49]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you didn't let me finish. Cause Monat jumped in with, great, let's go, 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. Monet said, I know, but you can get like a better car. I said, I like my car money. My car doesn't even have 20,000 miles on it.
[48:12]
Monet X Change
You get a good trade in value for it then.
[48:14]
Bob the Drag Queen
But my, there's. But why would I get rid of my car? There's nothing wrong with my car.
[48:18]
Monet X Change
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.
[48:25]
Bob the Drag Queen
You didn't own your car.
[48:26]
Monet X Change
Yeah, so.
[48:27]
Alfredo
Right.
[48:27]
Monet X Change
So it's a God. But I could have extended it.
[48:29]
Bob the Drag Queen
I paid in on a car you don't own.
[48:31]
Monet X Change
I still had a year on my lease though.
[48:34]
Bob the Drag Queen
But money was like. Monet 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.
[48:47]
Monet X Change
Anyway, so I think you. But okay, so what, you're gonna wait until, for four more years you get 50,000 more miles on it. And then what? Then. Then what? You would have.
[48:56]
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 is. 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.
[49:12]
Monet X Change
Rarely.
[49:14]
Bob the Drag Queen
I rarely use it.
[49:15]
Monet X Change
I rarely use it.
[49:17]
Bob the Drag Queen
Money is like driving in the river.
[49:21]
Monet X Change
Well, you know. Yeah. I mean, I enjoy shopping. Shopping is fun. And I mean, everything I learned about luxury stuff is that good. I mean, if. 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. How do you find a respected jeweler? One that you like. No one can, like, love and trust. I don't fucking know.
[49:48]
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't believe in this resale value thing of jewelry.
[49:51]
Monet X Change
What do you mean?
[49:52]
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, why would I buy your old ass Cartier bracelet? I can just go buy a brand new one for luck.
[49:57]
Monet X Change
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.
[50:05]
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not saying everyone thought like for 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 a new.
[50:10]
Monet X Change
That's what I'm saying. But you're not buying like if, if I go sell my bracelet, you're not buying the bracelet. Like when you sell it to a place, they melt the gold down. So you're paying for the value of the gold.
[50:18]
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 this. They talk about their bracelets as if their bracelets will accuse. Will they will gain value.
[50:30]
Monet X Change
Yeah, no, that's. I don't think that's what they're referring to. I think they're saying like this because.
[50:33]
Bob the Drag Queen
So what's the point of buying an expensive bracelet?
[50:36]
Monet X Change
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.
[51:00]
Alfredo
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, it's an investment. Like in 50 years, it's going to be a vintage Cartier piece and everyone's going to want one. But that's not necessarily the case anymore because everyone is doing that now.
[51:41]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Which is why I was saying, like, when you buy your braces, you were like, you call it an investment. I don't understand how it's an investment.
[51:46]
Monet X Change
Because I was investing in like the cost of the gold. But like, also because. But also, if I was to sell.
[51:51]
Bob the Drag Queen
It, you could just buy the gold.
[51:52]
Monet X Change
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.
[51:59]
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what I was thinking. But if it's really an investment in the gold, you could just go buy an ounce of gold.
[52:04]
Alfredo
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 a big pretty.
[52:14]
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 it's already. It's already in a chunk.
[52:30]
Monet X Change
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, but like, oh, look what I have. But I will wear a bracelet and be like, oh, this is gold.
[52:42]
Alfredo
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.
[52:51]
Monet X Change
So how much is an ounce of gold?
[52:54]
Bob the Drag Queen
$2,662.74.
[52:58]
Monet X Change
And let's see. Okay, let me see how many. Let's look at how many ounces in my love bracelet. Hold on.
[53:02]
Bob the Drag Queen
I would say. I would guess your bracelet is probably half an ounce of 0.7, maybe less.
[53:08]
Monet X Change
Than that in maybe 0.75 ounces. Love bracelet. Let's see if I'm looking. Love bracelet has. Okay. Weighs around 32 grams. How much. How many fucking ounces? In a grammar.
[53:22]
Bob the Drag Queen
How many ounces are In a gram? 1 gram is equivalent to 0.035.
[53:26]
Monet X Change
3 ounces.
[53:27]
Bob the Drag Queen
0.035.
[53:29]
Monet X Change
So 32 times what? 0.32.
[53:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
Girl. That's not even. That's not even one tenth of a. Of a. Wait.
[53:36]
Monet X Change
Well, that's a. No, you're.
[53:38]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Am I saying an ounce of. Gram. Ounce of.
[53:41]
Monet X Change
Wait, how many grams? How many ounces are how many? How many?
[53:47]
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my God, we're about to get a nosebleed.
[53:48]
Monet X Change
How many grams make up an ounce? That's what you're trying to find out?
[53:51]
Bob the Drag Queen
One gram. Wait, how many.
[53:54]
Monet X Change
How many.
[53:54]
Bob the Drag Queen
How much. How many grams do you have? Wait, am I saying it? Wait, do you buy an ounce of gold or do you buy a gram? You buy an ounce of gold?
[54:00]
Monet X Change
I don't know. Probably. No, you probably buy a gram of gold. I would imagine.
[54:04]
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?
[54:11]
Monet X Change
32 grams.
[54:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, hold on.
[54:16]
Monet X Change
Well, 32.4.
[54:17]
Bob the Drag Queen
32 grams of gold is nothing.
[54:19]
Monet X Change
I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no, no. I have to slide 20. It's 37 point.
[54:22]
Alfredo
So it's about three quarters of an ounce.
[54:27]
Monet X Change
Is it?
[54:28]
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what.
[54:30]
Alfredo
That's what I. Yes, I believe so.
[54:34]
Bob the Drag Queen
So you have about. So you. What you actually have is a. So 75%. What is 75?
[54:40]
Alfredo
75 to 80%. It may be closer to. It's around.
[54:43]
Monet X Change
No, this is. This is 38 grams, and that is 1.3 ounces. It's 1.3 ounces.
[54:51]
Bob the Drag Queen
What. What is going on here? How many. Wait, freeze. How many grams you have?
[54:57]
Monet X Change
This bracelet is 38 grams. 38 grams equals 1.3.
[55:02]
Bob the Drag Queen
38 grams is how many ounces of gold.
[55:04]
Monet X Change
1.3.
[55:05]
Bob the Drag Queen
38 grams is equal to 1.34 ounces. 1.34 ounces. So you have in 1.3. So 1.3 times. Four times. Wait, hold on. One point. Oh, 1.34.
[55:19]
Monet X Change
Well, actually should be 2.6.
[55:21]
Bob the Drag Queen
I have 2x2662. That's $3,800 worth of. Worth of gold for.
[55:30]
Monet X Change
For one bracelet.
[55:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
For one bracelet. Yeah. That's 30. That's. That's. That's $300 worth of gold.
[55:35]
Monet X Change
Okay. And you put in labor and like the name. So that's why they market it. So, so, so just bare mirror, bare materials. You have 33, $3,800. But you put in. You add in labor, then you put in the name brand. That's what it gets up to. The crazy price it is.
[55:51]
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.
[56:04]
Monet X Change
Okay.
[56:05]
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.
[56:13]
Monet X Change
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 to buy gold.
[56:19]
Bob the Drag Queen
If I want to go buy gold.
[56:21]
Monet X Change
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.
[56:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, I don't think that's true.
[56:31]
Monet X Change
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.
[56:40]
Bob the Drag Queen
I think that this price. All that's included in the price.
[56:43]
Monet X Change
I don't know if that's true. We're completely. You're completely guessing that.
[56:47]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, and you're guessing too, bitch.
[56:49]
Monet X Change
Oh, my God.
[56:50]
Bob the Drag Queen
Can we have that conversation? Okay. Ampex is selling me an. You could also go to Walmart.
[57:03]
Monet X Change
I don't trust that gold.
[57:04]
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, honey. That's how you invest. Now I need to find one of those hippies to wrap it in twine.
[57:32]
Monet X Change
You're gonna take it out $2700 and wrap it in some fucking twine from Trader Joe's?
[57:37]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm gonna go to Home Depot or I'm gonna go to. Oh, you know. You know, I was gonna. I'm gonna walk over to the craft section at Walmart. At Walmart. Next time y'all see me on this podcast, I will be wearing my ounce of gold necklace.
[57:57]
Monet X Change
Must be nice. Just flexing on the girls. Just flexing on the girls. Your ounce of gold is around your neck.
[58:03]
Bob the Drag Queen
Next time you all see me on this podcast, I'll be wearing my. My investment.
[58:07]
Monet X Change
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.
[58:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
Monet. Put your wrist down.
[58:15]
Monet X Change
Put your 1% ass. Put your wrist down. I'm just gonna. Rolling. I had to work hard for what I had, Okay? I had to. I saved up for years to get my motherfucking jewelry.
[58:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
Just going to float over that. 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.
[58:42]
Monet X Change
You don't have anything?
[58:44]
Bob the Drag Queen
I have a pair of Versace earrings. You brought me in a ring. Yeah, that's all I have.
[58:50]
Monet X Change
Really? So what, do you just not. Are you just not into jewelry because you. I mean, you wear jewelry?
[58:55]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I got a piece of jewelry on right now.
[58:57]
Monet X Change
Yeah, but you're just not into, like, metals or, like, expensive metals.
[59:01]
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.
[59:08]
Monet X Change
What do you. What do you spend a lot of money on? What is something that you spend a lot of money on?
[59:12]
Bob the Drag Queen
My home electronics. My family.
[59:15]
Alfredo
Plane tickets for twinks.
[59:20]
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.
[59:40]
Monet X Change
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, they worked really hard in their career, and they don't spend a lot of money on 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 broader shows or buying things I want, because I'm like, God forbid I was 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 work really hard and 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 Roger McDonald, you know what I mean? So I do like spending on experiences and stuff like that too.
[60:36]
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.
[60:46]
Monet X Change
Ok, all right, let's move on. Can you. Can you take anything seriously you're not interested in?
[60:52]
Bob the Drag Queen
See, this is why you don't like genetics. Let's see. You know what? Whatever. Don't worry about it.
[60:55]
Monet X Change
You can't say anything.
[60:56]
Bob the Drag Queen
Seriously, if biology is annoying to you, then I'll just shut the hell up. If advances in biology.
[61:04]
Monet X Change
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 dolphin or cheetah and a whale. Cause those are mammals.
[61:16]
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't think a shark is a fish.
[61:17]
Monet X Change
A shark is a fish. 100%. It's not a fish.
[61:19]
Bob the Drag Queen
A shark is a fish.
[61:20]
Monet X Change
A shark is a fish. It is not this literally. Yes, there is nothing you can.
[61:25]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes, a shark a fish.
[61:27]
Monet X Change
Correct.
[61:29]
Alfredo
Yes, sharks are fish.
[61:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
Fish with a cartilagenous skeleton. Oh, sharks are fish.
[61:36]
Monet X Change
Now, if you said a whale or a dolphin, I'd have been like, no.
[61:39]
Bob the Drag Queen
You can mix shark. No, they're mixed with shark. And I'm wearing the tooth. I'm literally wearing the tooth. I have evidence.
[61:46]
Monet X Change
I think you are long in the tooth trying to make it that bullshit up.
[61:50]
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not what long in the tooth means. It means you're old.
[61:52]
Monet X Change
Yeah, old people should be wise. And you're wise.
[61:56]
Bob the Drag Queen
You know how long the tooth came from?
[61:58]
Monet X Change
From shark tooth.
[62:00]
Bob the Drag Queen
From horses Teeth.
[62:03]
Monet X Change
Do they have long teeth?
[62:04]
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.
[62:13]
Monet X Change
You never look a what?
[62:14]
Bob the Drag Queen
You never looked a gift horse in the mouth?
[62:16]
Monet X Change
A gift horse?
[62:18]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. The thing is, you never look a gift horse in the mouth.
[62:21]
Monet X Change
What does that meaning?
[62:22]
Bob the Drag Queen
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.
[62:29]
Monet X Change
That's such a strange. Like, if someone gave me a horse. The age is the last thing I'm considering.
[62:34]
Bob the Drag Queen
That's why they say you never look a gift horse in the mouth.
[62:37]
Monet X Change
You agree with the saying, but I wouldn't. But I'm saying I wouldn't.
[62:40]
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 trying to see what's wrong with it, they're saying, you're ungrateful. Just take the gift.
[62:51]
Monet X Change
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?
[63:00]
Bob the Drag Queen
But it's a gift, right?
[63:02]
Monet X Change
But not the age is not the concern. It's how fast it can run is what I'm saying.
[63:06]
Bob the Drag Queen
But what I'm saying is it's a gift.
[63:09]
Monet X Change
Yes.
[63:10]
Bob the Drag Queen
So just take the gift or decline it. One of the two. Don't start expecting it.
[63:14]
Monet X Change
When you get gifts, you think I give you things that you ask questions like what? What I get when I gifted you these? Your fucking gem Zs? You asked me all the 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.
[63:30]
Bob the Drag Queen
First of all, you were. 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 was. I wasn't saying, are you doing it right. I just said, are they even? I said, these feel. 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.
[63:51]
Monet X Change
What? What Am I looking at? I can't.
[63:58]
Bob the Drag Queen
I love these.
[64:01]
Monet X Change
I can't.
[64:03]
Bob the Drag Queen
How cute are these?
[64:05]
Monet X Change
Not very.
[64:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
These are my house Crocs for the holiday season. I'm obsessed. Why was I asking you tons of questions? Asked if they were even.
[64:13]
Monet X Change
What you did do is I was sitting on the bed and Bob goes.
[64:16]
Bob the Drag Queen
And I said, thank you.
[64:17]
Monet X Change
No. Then you daddy, before I started, he sticks his finger in my mouth. He like, oh, yeah, you got a little glue on that one.
[64:25]
Bob the Drag Queen
I said, I did not touch your teeth.
[64:27]
Monet X Change
Yes, you did.
[64:28]
Bob the Drag Queen
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.
[64:35]
Monet X Change
What did you do?
[64:37]
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.
[64:44]
Monet X Change
Okay, you did it after you stick them in my pussy.
[64:47]
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's see, now you're doing a bit like my shark tooth. Like my cheetah tooth.
[64:51]
Monet X Change
Okay, so you admit that was a bit.
[64:54]
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.
[65:03]
Monet X Change
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.
[65:07]
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't get in the water.
[65:08]
Monet X Change
Yeah, yeah, you don't swim. You got in the hot tub the other day. That was nice.
[65:12]
Bob the Drag Queen
But I didn't get in the pool section.
[65:13]
Monet X Change
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.
[65:21]
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.
[65:29]
Monet X Change
But what if you need to?
[65:31]
Bob the Drag Queen
I've made it this far.
[65:34]
Monet X Change
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.
[65:50]
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, first of all, I don't live in the Valley. You live in the Valley.
[65:52]
Monet X Change
Let's be careful. You think only the Valley is gonna be Los Angeles, Bitch, we are right by the water.
[65:57]
Bob the Drag Queen
We are like, if this thing comes, if the water is coming in like that, Monet, my, my little doggy paddle is not going to do nothing. Monet. I will have a. Hopefully I will have evacuated in time. I don't think that, I don't think Michael Phelps is going to eat everybody up in this situation. These are, these are, this is tumultuous weather.
[66:15]
Monet X Change
Imagine Michael Phelps was Aquaman this entire time. We had no idea. This nigga has been fucking.
[66:19]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, he actually does have a genetic advantage.
[66:22]
Monet X Change
Yeah, he has a wingspan. That's his arms and his lungs.
[66:26]
Bob the Drag Queen
Something about his lungs. I don't get it, but it's something about his lungs.
[66:30]
Monet X Change
So he, so yeah, he has like.
[66:33]
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 swimming because I think you can.
[66:42]
Monet X Change
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 longer also when you, when you turn around, you kick back. He probably can go longer because you can swim faster underwater when you like do that.
[66:57]
Alfredo
Phelps's 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 switch.
[67:19]
Bob the Drag Queen
He has twice the lung capacity of the average human. Twice.
[67:24]
Monet X Change
That's wild.
[67:26]
Bob the Drag Queen
So, so it, he gets more oxygen to his muscles so he doesn't get tired as quickly. That's what it is interesting. You ever think that's advantage.
[67:36]
Monet X Change
You ever think that like in some way, like there could be something. Like you ever think that maybe there's some sport you could have been really great at where you just like I think about a lot of humans, but you didn't know about it or you didn't know that 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 were like, well like you could be a world breaking history tennis player, but you just never did it. You ever think about that?
[68:06]
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.
[68:21]
Monet X Change
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.
[68:29]
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.
[68:36]
Monet X Change
Oh, you went for silver?
[68:38]
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, that guy got silver.
[68:40]
Monet X Change
But would you go for the gold?
[68:43]
Bob the Drag Queen
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.
[68:50]
Monet X Change
Car. Human.
[68:53]
Bob the Drag Queen
No, the. Like the. 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.
[69:02]
Monet X Change
Oh, work. I'm like, what's the word? If I get gold, I'll give you $10,000. Like that?
[69:06]
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.
[69:37]
Monet X Change
I'll do that. That's what I'll do.
[69:39]
Bob the Drag Queen
But you. But you would be considered a bad, poor sportsman.
[69:44]
Monet X Change
With my gold medals, though, is it worth it, though?
[69:47]
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.
[70:01]
Monet X Change
How thick do you think this microphone is?
[70:05]
Bob the Drag Queen
This microphone looks like it is about 8 to 9 inches around, girl.
[70:11]
Monet X Change
11.
[70:13]
Bob the Drag Queen
11 inches around. How big do you think my microphone is? No, this is probably 8 inches around.
[70:19]
Monet X Change
All right, I'll say it.
[70:20]
Bob the Drag Queen
Grab it with my hand. I can almost get my hands to touch. Let's see, this microphone is. This microphone is nine inches around.
[70:39]
Monet X Change
Now let's do our dicks next.
[70:42]
Bob the Drag Queen
Mine is a millimeter around.
[70:47]
Monet X Change
Mine is 3 centimeters.
[70:51]
Bob the Drag Queen
This is what a 9 inch penis would be if someone was really.
[70:57]
Monet X Change
I mean, nine inch around. Not really.
[70:59]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
[70:59]
Monet X Change
Yeah.
[71:00]
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. Monet around. We've been discussing this at conference the whole time.
[71:03]
Monet X Change
I know, but just for people. You know what people. Not everyone's watching the podcast, Bob.
[71:08]
Bob the Drag Queen
But we've been discussing. We've been saying around. The whole time. We've been saying around.
[71:12]
Monet X Change
Yeah, but we don't know what you just did.
[71:14]
Bob the Drag Queen
I was listening.

This podcast is brought to you by Aura, the most complete online safety toolkit. 2024 has seen a massive surge in high profile data breaches, raising serious concerns about the security of your personal information. Dell's breach exposed 3.9 million customer records. And Ticketmaster also faced a massive breach, compromising over 560 million records.
