All right, let's talk about how Amazon prime makes everything better. You know the moment you're binge watching different things and you realize that prime has more to offer than expected. Amazon prime isn't just fastest delivery, though let's be honest, getting snacks or a last minute prop delivered the same day is a lifesaver. It's also Amazon music to Vibe too, and all the things that make life more interesting. Red Band Whether streaming a stand up special, building the perfect playlist for the next show, or getting new gear delivered fast, prime helps make it all happen and maybe even delivers a few laughs along the way. So whether comedy, drama or just the perfect new joke book is the Vibe. Remember, prime is there for it. I do it all on Prime. Whatever you're into, it's on Prime. From streaming to shopping, it's on Prime. Visit Amazon.comprime to get more out of whatever you're into. Amazon.comprime My name is Bob the Drag.

Bob the Drag Queen
You fucking 1% ass bitch.
Monet X Change
I want to show you all something. What Bob got me these.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, they're great.
Monet X Change
I have to say, I'm kind of into it a lot.
Bob the Drag Queen
I knew you would like them.
Monet X Change
They're nipple thingies. You put them on your nipples.
Bob the Drag Queen
And.
Monet X Change
Then they look like you have nipples piercings.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I got them for you because I. This sweater is not gonna be the tee. Cause we can't see. Cause of the sweater. Oh, it looks. Yeah, girl. On this camera, it straight. Looks like a nipple piercing. Like, straight up.
Monet X Change
No, it doesn't.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, it does.
Monet X Change
Do it again.
Bob the Drag Queen
You gotta flash it, though. You can't show too much. How are they sticking? Do they. Are they suction? Is there adhesive on them?
Monet X Change
There's not. So that's what. That was gonna be my aversion to doing them because I'm like, girl, I'm not putting. I'm not putting a pros aid every time I put these on, but. But I've never put anything on them and they just stick. I'll be like, hey, guys, look. Yeah, Monet.
Bob the Drag Queen
It looks like a nipple piercing.
Monet X Change
It's too light.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm telling you. It looks like a fucking nipple piercing. I got.
Monet X Change
I got. I got. I got light skin and nipples.
Bob the Drag Queen
I got something new, and I wanted. You tell me what you think about it.
Monet X Change
Oh, God. What is it?
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you tell that I'm using a little bit of a thing here?
Monet X Change
I get what.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is.
Jacob
Why it took you so long to.
Bob the Drag Queen
Get your audio working. This is not why it took so long. But do you. What do you think of my little bit of voice boxing here?
Monet X Change
What do you. What is that? What? What is that?
Bob the Drag Queen
That's still a question, bitch. Do you think it sounds kind of cool?
Monet X Change
It sounds crazy, but I can't hear.
Bob the Drag Queen
Myself because I don't have headphones on.
Monet X Change
Wait, it only works when you do this?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you have to. Well, you have to be really, really close to the mic. So you'll see how, like, back here is not doing it, but up here it is doing it.
Monet X Change
I can't. When you're speaking, I can't really tell, to be honest.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you gotta always do a little bit of a.
Monet X Change
Is it a petal?
Bob the Drag Queen
But also this little moment here, is this. What does it sound like?
Monet X Change
It's a petal. Answer me.
Bob the Drag Queen
What does it sound like now?
Monet X Change
It sounds like you have helium. You swallow helium.
Bob the Drag Queen
And what does it sound like on this side?
Monet X Change
It's like you swallowed sulfur hexafluoride, bitch.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're not in Breaking Bad.
Monet X Change
I'm just saying what types of flax and philosophy and what it sounds like.
Bob the Drag Queen
To me that's how you sound, actually. The hypothesis, the thimus of the nigga.
Monet X Change
Is it a pedal?
Bob the Drag Queen
Sorry? It is a pedal. Yes.
Monet X Change
I can't.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have two.
Monet X Change
You want one? Yeah, give it to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
What are you gonna give me?
Monet X Change
I have these nipple things I got a friend gave me.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think you know what I want. And it's right behind you. Okay.
Monet X Change
It's not that deep. If I could also just get someone to get. I can buy one of them.
Bob the Drag Queen
I gave one of those too.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm gonna give out 10 of them on your season.
Monet X Change
Then go get it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Then you go get it. You don't even. You don't even know what this is called. I know where to get that. You don't even know what this is called, girl.
Monet X Change
You think you're the only one in the world that knows how to get a fucking.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think I'm the only one on this fucking call who knows.
Monet X Change
This is true. But I have a team of people that have helped me get everything else.
Bob the Drag Queen
I need this team.
Monet X Change
I do. I do.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's got a dame.
Monet X Change
I do declare.
Bob the Drag Queen
Whoa, Monet Empires, honey.
Monet X Change
You know, as I just said, I did. Oh, my God, I. I'm such an asshole.
Bob the Drag Queen
We all. I'm glad we agree on.
Monet X Change
Claire called me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who called you?
Monet X Change
Blair Sinclair. After I just said I do declare, I literally just popped in my head. She called me like a few months, like two months ago. And I was like. I was doing a thing. I was like, oh, I'm going to call Blair, Blair, Blair back.
Bob the Drag Queen
Blair blank hair.
Monet X Change
And then as I just said, I do declare, it just made the connection to my brain that I never call her back.
Bob the Drag Queen
How long ago is this?
Monet X Change
It's like two or three months ago.
Bob the Drag Queen
She must. She's not going to answer.
Monet X Change
I know. Okay, so what is the line that you like, you know this bitch is shady. I'm not, I'm not. They're going to call me. I'm not going to answer. They call me back.
Bob the Drag Queen
What is the line there for me? It's not a line because I just soon got busy. Now if. If it's like multiple, like I'm not.
Monet X Change
One of those, like one time multiple.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you like leave me on red multiple times. And I'd be like, okay, this is the person I want to talk to me. But if it's one time, I just assume you got busy. Especially if I speak as infrequently as you and Blair Sinclair speak to each other.
Monet X Change
You don't know how Infrequently.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't.
Monet X Change
You do not know that.
Bob the Drag Queen
At least two months. At least two months. And that's only when she's speaking to you. You don't even return her phone calls.
Monet X Change
I forgot to call back. I need to text her right now before I forget.
Bob the Drag Queen
You wouldn't forget to return Kim Chi's phone call, like, for two months.
Monet X Change
You. You wouldn't forget to. Fuck Kimchi.
Bob the Drag Queen
You wouldn't forget to return Naomi Smalls phone call for two months. So what. What I'm assuming is you speak less frequently than you and Kim G. And Naomi Smalls do.
Monet X Change
Blair, it's Monet. I am so sorry to call you back. You're on the podcast.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's demonetizing you.
Monet X Change
She's done with work. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's using you for clicks.
Monet X Change
Sorry. I apologize.
Bob the Drag Queen
Blair. She use it for clicks?
Monet X Change
Shut the fuck up.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did my voice go through good?
Monet X Change
No, it didn't, because you're not wearing headphones. I am wearing headphones.
Bob the Drag Queen
Money, bitch. I'm not slack.
Monet X Change
I wear the RuPaul's.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I.
Monet X Change
Yep. Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
And which goes first? Okay. All right.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Bob, the From. And what's he doing with T. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
They're like the season you're filming right now. RuPaul.
Monet X Change
Oh, okay. Got it, got it, got it. I get it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay, so I have a pitch for Monet. So I've been thinking about this. I was driving home last night from your place, and I was gonna call you after the.
Monet X Change
Yo, Bob is. You are such a psychopath. You're a psychopath of a person.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is not. When y' all hear what I'm saying, you'll be like, why is Monet calling Bob?
Monet X Change
No, it's just. Not just things. It's just the. Bob, you're just. You're hilarious. Go ahead. What happened?
Bob the Drag Queen
So when I was leaving your place last night, I was gonna call, but I know that you and am Were trying to have your private time, so I don't want to interrupt you, even though Andy text me during whatever y' all were doing, just so you know.
Monet X Change
Anyway, Andy and I were fucking last night. We. We're.
Bob the Drag Queen
He text me while you were.
Monet X Change
We're in our. We're. We're. We're in our mid-30s. We have to. We have to organize sex now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Mid. We're rounding down, so I. Interesting. Anyway, so. Drag lab, karaoke, y' all. Isn't this great when y' all watch this? So I think that I.
Monet X Change
Well, can you give Us some context. So last night, Bob and. Bob and his friend Tal came over.
Bob the Drag Queen
Tal's my partner. You can say it's partner.
Monet X Change
Oh, okay. I didn't. I don't. I don't want to. I don't want to break the news. I don't want to break the news.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't believe in, like, soft launching and hard launching. That. I think that's kind of tacky.
Monet X Change
I know you and Jacob said I love you on the first day. You clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was not the first day.
Monet X Change
That's what y' all said.
Bob the Drag Queen
We did not say. We said. We started saying right away. We did not say the first day. That's not what we said. You were rewriting history.
Monet X Change
So what's. Okay, I want to be very clear what I said last.
Bob the Drag Queen
Claire. Literally speaking of Claire. Call her.
Monet X Change
The fans sounded in the comments like, no, Monet. Bob said the first day.
Bob the Drag Queen
I did not say first date.
Monet X Change
You may have misspoke back in here.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob could chime in because he was. He was there for the conversation. He was there for the conversation that you and I had as well.
Monet X Change
And I'm telling you. But I think you may have misspoke because you said the first day. That's why. That's why we were all gagged.
Bob the Drag Queen
I did not say. I said right away. I said we were like. We chose not to make a big deal of being like, you know, folks like, I'm gonna say I love you. Did I just say I love you for the first time? That's you and Andy.
Monet X Change
Okay, well, we'll.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's you and Andy being like. And the first time I said I love you was at Disney World, and Mickey Mouse came by, and we fucked him.
Monet X Change
We'll let the. The Southern rivalry historians. Cause, you know, they be knowing. They've been knowing the episode, the time.
Bob the Drag Queen
The date, morning exchange videos. Run the clip.
Monet X Change
Oh, this is gonna be good. Anyway, so what are you gonna do when you're.
Bob the Drag Queen
Cause y' all. Y' all don't know this. Cause the episode hasn't dropped yet, but one of the most delicious. Ooh, I had a victory of Monat that was so delicious recently.
Monet X Change
What was it? I'd have forgot already.
Bob the Drag Queen
What you had to do. You had to do something, and I sat on your back while you did it. Put it that way. It was great. And I was bulking. Honey, wait, Jacob.
Monet X Change
Jacob, Is that a question?
Jacob
Can you flip the pillow really quick?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, thank you. No.
Monet X Change
Jacob, why do you fucking.
Bob the Drag Queen
Taylor keeps flipping my pillow. I think Taylor keeps flipping My pillow when I'm not looking.
Monet X Change
Imagine. Imagine if I had a picture of me just in the background, just like this the whole time. How. You know how distracting that would be and weird.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm going, I think it looked cute.
Monet X Change
Anyways, so Bob has offered a new partner to the firm. Tao has made partner the firm. And then. So Bob and Tao came over last night. And then I had this karaoke machine, and I was like, oh, let's do some karaoke. So Bob, Tao and I did karaoke in my drag lab. And honestly, we went live on TikTok as if it was on my phone. It was very fun. I had a good time doing Drag lab karaoke.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was fun.
Monet X Change
So Bob was like. So in true Bob fashion, he's like, you take. You take monetary. You need to do this. I was like, what? He's like, drag lab karaoke. You have to do this.
Bob the Drag Queen
So here's my thought process. I only have five minutes to pitch before we go to break. So let me give you my. My. My pitch. Okay?
Monet X Change
Elevator bitch. Go ahead.
Bob the Drag Queen
So, drag lab karaoke. I think that drag lab karaoke is a segment that happens in Monet talks. You split from the episode for one second. You go over to drag lab karaoke. I was thinking to myself, you probably don't want to go to your home to film it, but. So I was thinking what you could do is film it here in my drag lab. Hear me out. But what makes drag lab karaoke different is they are putting on silly garments and, like, they're wearing, like, bits and pieces of drag. No one's in. Like, it's not like, full drag fantasy.
Monet X Change
Bad drag.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, bad drag.
Monet X Change
Also, can we borrow the gold dress?
Bob the Drag Queen
Bitch, don't play with me. Anyway, but it's slight interview, but I was thinking to myself, like, I think that your guest should be, like, I think your first guest should be Adora Delano.
Monet X Change
I already had her on the phone.
Bob the Drag Queen
I know, but would you let me fucking talk?
Monet X Change
Go ahead.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you cut everyone else off when they're pitching you? Is this what it's like to have to pitch to Monet X Change?
Monet X Change
You'd be like, ah, well, when Patty and Ty pitch ideas, we have, like, a formal meeting. We're doing another job. You're like, let's stop our other job.
Bob the Drag Queen
This is formal. What's more formal than where you were being paid? I pay you to work. We've already covered it. I pay your salary. You pay my salary. We've already covered this. We're not paying ourselves. That's illegal. That's illegal. So I pay your salary. I pay your salary.
Monet X Change
Okay. What the fuck is illegal? Not. That's illegal. Illegal. What Illegal? Legends.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's how I speak. Claire, Clare it up.
Monet X Change
That's not illegal.
Bob the Drag Queen
What do you say? Illegal, yes.
Monet X Change
Illegal. Nadia. No, that's illegal.
Bob the Drag Queen
Illegal.
Monet X Change
What? Finish the sentence.
Bob the Drag Queen
Adore Delano Duran. Bernard is a guest. Amber Riley.
Monet X Change
I had Amber Riley already.
Bob the Drag Queen
But on Amber Riley, you can get. I will. I will grace you and I will. I will do. But I think what make. Okay, obviously this is. This is obviously some sort of a kick on carpool karaoke, right? Clearly, what made carpool karaoke fun was they were singing their song, but also singing other songs, too. So I'll come in and I'll do, like, one of my songs, but then I'll do Devil Went down to Georgia. Amber Riley will do, like, and I'm telling you or one of her songs from her album. And then she'll also sing, like, Big.
Monet X Change
Girl Energy lo her song.
Bob the Drag Queen
Or she'll sing something like, I don't know, fucking a song. She would never sing. Like Good Morning Baltimore.
Monet X Change
Dude, I'll be fine. We're doing it again. I'm gonna do drag rap karaoke.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you get people to sing. So they would never sing drag lap karaoke. And because Monet and I are in the same building, our. Our studios are in the same suite. You could just walk right over, and then you'd be kind of hosting, but it'd be mostly just the karaoke. Like, but the interview is really on the couch. And the drag lab karaoke is like a five minute segment where you sing, like, one or two songs. You can do two every episode. Doesn't have to have drag lab karaoke. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
No, I think drag life karaoke is very fun.
Bob the Drag Queen
Shea Coulee could sing. Cocky, yes, but cocky, no. I probably want to see, like, Drive or one of her newer songs.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, true.
Bob the Drag Queen
But then she would sing Feed Me from, and then you could play Seymour.
Monet X Change
Okay, I'm into a drag. I'm into drag. Like, karaoke. I'm into it, but I want to.
Bob the Drag Queen
Be very clear about the illegal activities you're not allowed to do in my space. I will have things you don't have carte blanche to touch anything you want. In my space, there would be a collection of drag and stuff that you all could wear. But I think it's really a really a cute idea.
Monet X Change
I think it's really cute, too. I think it's a really good idea. And I think I'm gonna do it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who are some guests? SZA is the. Is the season finale. I could get sza. Do it easily. So we start by, like, we gotta rank up. We have like, if we get Grammy nominated Duran Bernard, then we can eventually get a sza.
Monet X Change
Yeah, for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
Right?
Monet X Change
Um, yeah. I mean. I mean, she doesn't. There's. There's not a way.
Bob the Drag Queen
But what if.
Monet X Change
What if drag left character gets so fierce, so popular that Beyonce wants to come on?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think Beyonce would be easier to get than Rihanna.
Monet X Change
No. I think. No.
Bob the Drag Queen
I can't get this girl to sing a song. I wonder what they. What they. How they had to trick her to do a Super Bowl. She thought it was something else.
Monet X Change
I think we get Rihanna. I mean, Rihanna. Okay. The girl. Okay. My dream. My dream list would be sza, Rihanna, Beyonce, Whitney Houston. If I can get all four of those.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jesus Christ, Monet.
Monet X Change
What? That's not. They do. They do. They do holograms. I would do a hologram.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monay. Adele.
Monet X Change
Adele. A girl after her Vegas. So she said. I am not. She's done, girl. She's done. Adele is not singing for like 10 years.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's talk about Adele singing after this break.

Oh my God, the movie. The. The soundtrack is so, so good. So I haven't actually went back and.
Bob the Drag Queen
Listened to the soundtrack though.
Monet X Change
I did.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean I haven't in real time.
Monet X Change
Eddie and I have been listening to it and then last night he's like, babe, can I tell you something? I was like, what? He was like, the songs I really like are the vampire ones. I was like, of course.
Bob the Drag Queen
Honestly, they ate. When they did a little. Woo. Their little. They ate. I gotta be honest, their little bluegrass or whatever song. I don't know what kind of music you would call that. It kind of ate.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Sinners. I mean, it's not just them. The whole fucking movie. Like, this is one of the best movies we've seen in the past five years. Would you say?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and. I'm gonna go ahead and say that.
Monet X Change
And like, it's a good contender for like. I'm trying to think. The last movie that I went to, the movie, the last film I saw, I was like, oh, my God. And I want to go back right away. And was so thoroughly impressed by every aspect of it. I can't remember what that is.
Bob the Drag Queen
For me, it was Everything, Everywhere, all at once. Okay, Wicked. Everything. Sinners, for me in the past 10 years are the best movies.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I would agree with that. And I know that Everywhere all at Once was a really great film. I. When I went to go see that, it was like Andy and I went to like a midnight showing. I had just come back from a tour. I had worked.
Bob the Drag Queen
We get it. Oh, my God.
Monet X Change
I would work. I worked all day. So.
Bob the Drag Queen
No shit bragging when you talking. Why you always gotta drop in a break? Why can't you just, like, talk like a normal person?
Monet X Change
No shade. I fell asleep in Everywhere, Everywhere, all at Everything, Everywhere, all at Once. But not because it was a boring movie. I was just so exhausted.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you haven't finished it?
Monet X Change
I had never finished it.
Bob the Drag Queen
You were nothing, nowhere. At any point in time. Do you want to apologize to Michelle Yeoh?
Monet X Change
Michelle, I'm so sorry. But Michelle's a great actress and you made up. And I felt like I atoned for my sins by going to see her in Wicked.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wicked.
Monet X Change
She was so good.
Bob the Drag Queen
What about Jamie Lee Curtis?
Monet X Change
Jamie Lee Curtis? I use. I use her memes all the time. So I think that's how I've. I've, I've. I've paid penance.
Bob the Drag Queen
And last but not least, Stephanie. You have anything to say? Stephanie's shoe.
Monet X Change
That's Andy's friend who went to school.
Bob the Drag Queen
I actually texted he slept during his friend's movie. That's a question that might seem offensive.
Monet X Change
Oh, God. What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Why did Andy go to, like, why did Andy go to school? So many Asian people?
Monet X Change
Is Bowen Yang and Stephanie Hsu.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who else I feel like he's sold more. He's always like, oh, I was born Yang's first kiss. I was Stephanie Hsu's first gay friend. Like, it's like I was Jackie Chan's cousin.
Monet X Change
No, he went to the NYU Tisch School, the experimental theater wing. All these. Oh, these are these. All these weird experimental theater kids.
Bob the Drag Queen
You think Asian people are weird?
Monet X Change
No, it's not just. It was also. What's his name? The one from Spider Man.
Bob the Drag Queen
Her name is Stephanie Germanotta. Lady Gaga.

Monet X Change
Your age is for half the year. And he's about to be 36. I'm gonna be 35.
Bob the Drag Queen

Monet X Change
No, we know because we were born in a year. For a year. Oh, my God. He was born in 89. I was born in 90. So he is older than me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Don't raise your voice at me.
Monet X Change
I just did. What you gonna do about it anyway? Sinners. Yeah, it is. It was such a great film. And there's so many I could say. I wanted to. I was gonna go back and watch it on Saturday night, but Taylor was supposed to come over.
Bob the Drag Queen
Taylor.
Monet X Change
Bob was. They were putting up them fucking black panels I see behind him. So Taylor's supposed to come over at 2 o' clock. At like 3 o' clock. He's like, we're still here. 5 o' clock. He's like, girl, we're still going. Then Bob was supposed to bring tape for him. Bob took four of them to bring the motherf tape.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why? Had drama.
Monet X Change
I know you had drama, but it held everyone's day back. So then, as literally as I'm stepping out the house, y' all. To go back to the. To lead to the theater. Because I bought my tickets. Cause I'm like, I'm not waiting for these motherfuckers all day. I want to be motherfuckers as I'm leaving the hotel said, hey, so we're heading over now. I was like, hold on, let me see if I can cancel my ticket first. And then I did. And then they came over, so I didn't go see it again.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you going to acknowledge that. That. That Taylor did not come by himself?
Monet X Change
Yeah, Taylor and his boyfriend came, and then Bob and his boyfriend came.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Do you want to thank me and Jacob for coming over, too?
Monet X Change
No.
Jacob
Really quickly. Can you talk about our impromptu business meeting from your perspective, Monet?
Monet X Change
What? What? We had a business meeting.
Jacob
When we came over for the business meeting, it was the same day.
Bob the Drag Queen
We should all give our perspective.
Monet X Change
Oh, my God, y' all. Yes. We're all gonna give our perspective, and.
Bob the Drag Queen
I wanna hear Jacob's perspective, and I want y' all to hear my perspective, and I think I was valid.
Monet X Change
So let me tell you something, Yara.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay?
Monet X Change
I am in my home. Bob and I had not spoken.
Bob the Drag Queen
Sebastian, why are you so Jamaican today? In my home.
Monet X Change
I did not say that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Here I am in my home.
Monet X Change
Ariel. So I was not supposed to talk to. I had not spoken to Bob all day. Bob and I had no plans on meeting. No communication the entire day. So I'm in my home. I'm cleaning up. I knew I had people come over the next day, so I was cleaning my. Annie makes fun of me, but I clean outside. I was. I was scrubbing the porcelain outside because. Because it was really dirty. Anyway, so I'm doing some. Doing some housework.
Bob the Drag Queen
Doing. I saw it. It was gross.
Monet X Change
Doing some housework, doing some chores, and I hear my ring. My ring doorbell things. I'm like, okay, who the fuck is. I thought it was a delivery. Because, you know, Amazon, you're missing the part. The.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why the doorbell rang. And I keep. You know what? This is your story. This is your story, right? This is your story. My bad.
Monet X Change
So I hear the doorbell ring. I go to the front door, and it's Bob and Jacob. I'm like, what y' all doing here? Bob was like, monet, why don't you answer your phone? I was like, I didn't have it on me. I was cleaning him. Monet ever tried to call you? I was like, okay, what's up, girl?
Bob the Drag Queen
That's not. Keep telling her story. I'mma tell mine.
Monet X Change
And I was like, okay, what's up? He's like. He's like, can I come in, please? I was like, of course. So we come in. Him and Jacob come in. They sit at my table in the front. And I Can tell you came this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Close to saying foyer, you fucking 1%. But you almost said it. I saw it on your face. Of course, I had the servant come between them. Foyer.
Monet X Change
Anyway, so I'm holding Colleen in my hand, and Bob and Jacob sit at the table. Jacob is smiling, and Jacob is laughing. I'm like, what's going on? So then Bob's like, monet, we need to have a meeting. I was like, okay. And holding Colleen. Colleen. Colleen is like, squirreling around in my head like, yo. I'm like. I'm like, on. I'm tense. Cause mom is coming to my home, yelling about answering the phone, making sure we have a meeting. I'm like, what's going on? I'm holding Colleen, who's my familiar. She comforts me when I'm feeling distressed. And I was like, monet, Monet, Monet, can you please put Colleen down? I was like, why? And, Monet, you got. You. You have to put the cat down. I was like, no. I was like, I like to hold her. She really comfortable. She's like. He's like. And he starts telling me this thing about the podcast. He said, monet, you have to put Colleen down. Or can I get something to drink? Something. Something needs to happen. I was like, okay. So I give Bob a glass of Kool Aid. Crystalite.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was not Kool Aid.
Monet X Change
It was Crystalite. Red Crystalite. And then we get to have this busy meeting about the podcast.
Bob the Drag Queen
Something with. Dude, how we should get Kool Aid at the house. Jake, we need Kool Aid at the house.
Monet X Change
At your house.
Bob the Drag Queen
At your house, too. What happened at your house?
Monet X Change
I don't want no Kool Aid in my house. I don't drink it over.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't have to drink it, but it'll be for me.
Monet X Change
So then we have begin to have our business meeting about something. And Bob also had some stress happen in his personal life that day. So I think the stress of personal stuff was clouding a lot of things. And you came in really hot and very intense in my home when I had no intentions of you coming over. And I was minding my own business.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you said. You told me that I can come over whenever I want. Yeah, sure.
Monet X Change
But yelling.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yelling, Jacob. Okay, now let's have our side of the story. Jacob.
Monet X Change
Our Jacob has his own. He wants to tell.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jacob, tell your part, Jacob.
Jacob
So we were in a business meeting. It was me, me and Bob in the car on the phone with Jay, our editor, talking about some production stuff. And we realized we needed Monet on the Call. And Bob called Monet, and she didn't answer. And he was like, okay, well, we're near her house. We're just gonna go over and see if she's there. So he made a sharp turn. We drive by Monet's house. He gets there. He's like, is her car there? Her car's here. We're going in.
Monet X Change
We're going in. Like, you go to fucking Vietnam.
Jacob
Jay is still on the phone. And he goes up, he rings the doorbell, and you don't answer at first. And he's like, I know she's here. I know she' God. And Monet was like. Monet came very confused. And Monet was standing. And Bob was like, monet, can you sit down? Mon was like, I'm holding Colleen. I'm gonna stand. He's like, no, Monet, you need to sit down.
Monet X Change
It's very Bob. Very Bob.
Jacob
And then the rest. The rest lines up with what Monet was saying.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay? So let me tell you.
Monet X Change
Thank you, Jacob. I forgot about the sit down. It was the sit down first.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm gonna explain everything now, and it makes sense, and no one will have any questions. So I got. I. I got a new car. I'm getting rid of my old car, and I'm trading it for a new car. So my new car was getting delivered. I thought it was getting delivered to my studio. It was not. We were putting up the wall. I was like, oh, it be a second to go outside. I'll get my new car and then I'll just, you know, swap it out, whatever. Turns out the car was being delivered to my home, which is about 20 to 25 minutes away from the studio, depending on how heavy traffic is. So I had to leave the wall, which you can see is done behind me. I had to leave the wall. So I left. It was supposed to be just me doing the wall by myself. And then Taylor was like, no, I'll help you do the wall. And then Taylor was like, I'll bring in my boyfriend. And then Jacob was like, I'll come to help set up. So it ended up being four of us here, which, honestly, was fantastic. Once we all started working together, we really zoomed through this wall. And thank you to Alex and Taylor and Jacob for helping. But I was like, fuck, I have to go home to go get my car. Okay. So I drive back to my home, to my apartment, and then the guy shows up with a car. He's like, I need proof, insurance. I need driver's license. And did you sign the contract? I said, can I just sign the contract?
Monet X Change
My license is suspended. What am I gonna do?
Bob the Drag Queen
I said, can I just sign the contract right now? He was like, no, you have to sign it, like, digitally. I was like. I was like, but you.
Monet X Change
You.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you have a clipboard. I can't just sign the contract right here on the clipboard. Have. He was like, no, I have no access to. I said, you don't have access to the contract you need me to sign? He's like, no, we sent you to this email. So I went back. I could. I. I could not find the email. The email, by the way, the email was not sent. I checked with Kennedy, checked my thing. This contract did not. It was nowhere to be found. Nowhere to be found. They delivered me a car with no contract. And then I said, but that's my car. I'm looking at it. I said, I paid for that car. He goes, yeah, I know. I mean, I didn't pay for it. I made a down payment on the car. He goes, yeah, but, like, you can't. You can't have it. I was like, that's my. Are you just gonna take my car? I said, am I gonna. Am I gonna get my money back? He goes, I don't know. I'm just delivering the car. And I said, give me a second. Let me try to find it. So I'm trying to call Kennedy, trying to see if we can find this contract, and then the guy goes, I can only wait 15 minutes. I said, then go. I said, then just go. He goes, you sure? I said, what's the other option? I said, are you gonna give me my car? He was like, no. I was like, then just go on, girl. Just take the car. Go about your business. So I go, so I'm back to your apartment. Yeah. So I am now irritated because I took a break from this wall to go get the car.
Monet X Change
And then Taylor was in about, like, 20. 20, 20, 25 minutes.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I'm now. I have now. I was at the apartment for, like, eight minutes before he got there. So I am now. I have now left the studio where I was supposed to be helping Alex and Taylor do this wall behind me. I am now about 40 minutes later. So Taylor's like, please grab some tape. Please grab some tape before you come back so we can put this up on the wall. I said, okay, I'm headed back. Me and Jacob have a conversation about something that's really cool that we're gonna actually be revealing to you all very, very soon on. You probably actually already know about it by now. Right? Right, Jacob?
Monet X Change
Oh, well, yeah. By this. Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do they know about it now, Jacob? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, as you all know, Naomi Small is gonna be joining us because Monet is under the foot of Paramount and she is too scared. And she's too scared. Okay, well, then why are you still on the podcast and Naomi's.
Monet X Change
Yeah, Bob is doing a bit. And you know what she's doing?
Bob the Drag Queen
That's your address too. If she showed up and gathered you by the.
Monet X Change
By the.
Bob the Drag Queen
By the drink hairs of your eyebrows.
Monet X Change
I could do pit stop and watchery. But Bob knows why I can't do it. He's being. He's being ridiculous.
Bob the Drag Queen
Anyway, Monet got gathered by Paramount because.
Monet X Change
She'S a friend of.
Bob the Drag Queen
She's a corporate shilling. So at this point, we're trying to figure out how to do this thing with it. Cause Naomi doesn't have a setup like this at home. She doesn't do a lot of podcasting and stuff. So Naomi comes into the studio. So we're trying to get it all set up, and we're trying to figure out how to do. Cause this is. We're on. We're miles apart from each other, but we don't do it in the same room very often. As you all know, we rarely record together. So we're trying to figure out how to do it. And I'm like, I want to use these angles. I want to use these things. I want to use multiple cameras. And then Jay and Jacob are like, I don't want to use multiple cameras. I want to use one camera. I was like, I want to use multiple cameras. We're going back and forth. I want to use multiple. I only use one. I was like, I need Monet's opinion. Because Jacob and Jay were tag teaming the shit out of me, whooping my ass. I couldn't. I didn't have a leg to stand on. I said, monae's going to have my back. I know Monet would agree with me. So I call Monet. Beep, beep, beep, boop. In my hour of need, Monet does not answer the phone. Now I am already like, and, oh, and I still need to go get tape. Keep in mind, I still need to go get tape to do this wall. So I'm like, I'm going to Monet's. I'm going to Monet's house. We're driving back. I'm like five minutes from Monet's house.
Monet X Change
You took a sharp turn.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was not a. Jacob added that sharp Turn. I turned like I normally do.
Jacob
So hard 90 on the steering wheel, like fast and furious.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I go to Monet's house. I do Sigra. I did that morning stress. I know she's here. Her car is here. I'm ringing the doorbell. No one answers. And I say, I know she's here. I said, this is her fucking car. I know she's here. I ring the doorbell again. Monet shows up very like a scared white woman at the hello. Holding her cat. Oh my God. There's a black guy and a small Jewish man at the door. Barry Marjorie Taylor Greene. They have space lasers and they're negroes.
Monet X Change
Uh huh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Me and Monet get in. I'm asking Monet to sit down because Jay is on speakerphone and she's too far from. In Yalls defense, I am too flustered because of the car, the tape, and the double team between Jay and Jacob that I can't just say, monet, I need you to sit down. Because if you sit down, Jay can hear you better. Monet is over at the in the kitchen. Monet is still cleaning her disgusting grout outside that's covered in goop. Monet's walking around the house. I said, monet, Jay can't hear you. I did at some point say Jake. And I did say, put the cat down. Because Colleen was screaming. You guys don't know this. If you touch Colleen, she screams. If you touch her tail, her paw, pick her up. Any physical contact you make with Colleen, she just starts screaming, this cat. So Colleen is screaming. Monet is far from the phone. Me and Jacob, Jacob is laughing. Jacob is over here cackling. And I'm like, please sit down. Monet's like, I don't want to sit down. What is going on? I said, monet, please just sit down, please.
Monet X Change
I will say it was not explained to me what was going on.
Bob the Drag Queen
I didn't have the words.
Jacob
He was so stressed out and over the car situation, he didn't want to talk about it. So he just came in like he'd been through war. And he was like, I'm so stressed out, I don't want to talk about it.
Bob the Drag Queen
And when I kept being like, why are you. I'll talk about it later, but can we do this now? And he's like, why? What's gonna say, Monet, I'm stressed. Can you please just sit down? I'll tell you after this break.

Monet X Change
That's not true. I was talking to. That's not true. I was talking to Jay. That's not true.
Bob the Drag Queen
Because she was so far from the phone. But I will say this. Monet did have my back.
Monet X Change
I did, I did. I was trying to be the voice of reason.
Bob the Drag Queen
Monae mediated between me, Jacob and Jay. Yeah, she really was the voice of reason in that moment, which I greatly appreciate. We came to a beautiful conclusion and I cannot wait till you all see. You've already seen it. You saw how beautiful the episode looks.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I'm very excited.
Bob the Drag Queen
Could you be a hostage negotiator?
Monet X Change
You know, I am very good in high energy, tense situations. I always, I always think about, like, not always think about not, but like, you know, me know, God forbid, like, I'm in, like, if, like I'm in, like, oh, my God.
Bob the Drag Queen
If you don't get. If you don't give me the money, the dog gets it. They're not negotiating.
Monet X Change
Okay, tell me, what do you need? What do you want?
Bob the Drag Queen
I need 80 pounds of wet dog food.
Monet X Change
Wet dog food. Okay. Is there a particular brand?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes. I need Purina Premium Dog Chow.
Monet X Change
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
And if you don't get it to me right now, this dog is getting blasted away and you have.
Monet X Change
Don't. Yep, yep, we got you. We got it. It's coming.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I need to see the dog food first.
Monet X Change
Just talk to me for a second. Just talk to me for a second. How are you doing?
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm well, but ask Cody how he's doing in about five minutes.
Monet X Change
Okay, we have it coming in. We have it. We have it coming.
Bob the Drag Queen
4 minutes, 25 seconds.
Monet X Change
Yep, yep, yep. We have it. Fly it in, please.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't see it. You have. You now have three. Ok, slide it over. Don't walk over here. Do not walk over here. Put it on a drone or something.
Monet X Change
So airlighted on a drone to you. It's coming to you.
Bob the Drag Queen
And is there anything else in that? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Monet X Change
Don't put it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Open it up and let me see the dog food.
Monet X Change
It's locked. It is a sealed container. I promise you, Bob, we would never. We send it, Send it To swat. We'll lace your ass up. Like Queen Latifah said it off. I always think if I was on a plane and it was going down, I think I would be a good person to sit in the emergency exit lane because I would really be able to help everyone out. Like, I wouldn't. I wouldn't, like. I mean, yes, put my thing on for air, but I would not, like, say everyone and just. I would. I would help everyone, like, survive.
Bob the Drag Queen
Would you have accepted the. Sorry to jump back. Would you have accepted the vampires deal?
Monet X Change
What was. It was. Okay, which one. Which deal?
Bob the Drag Queen
Let us turn you to vampires. There was. The whole deal was turn to vampires. And also, we're gonna go. We're gonna. We're gonna go get the Klansmen, by the way, obviously. And this needs to be said if you've not watched sinners. Spoiler alert.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah, girl. Spoiler alert.
Bob the Drag Queen
You can join us. And we're also. Cause when they came to the door and they sang the little bluegrass song or whatever that kind of music was, a little folk music, they were like, just let us turn you. By the time they came back, they were like, just let us turn you.
Monet X Change
Yeah, but I don't. But no, I would not have accepted it because. But, like, why? Like, like, there has to be a reason. Like, why?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, he's like, first of all, you get to live for a long time. Two, you're gonna gain some powers. Three, you get to join this community. Four, we're gonna. I've. I've given you information. I've now told you, like, I give in good faith. I've said, the Klansmen, who sold you this place, I already know because I literally know that now because I share the thoughts of this racist guy. This racist guy, his uncle or whatever. I think it was Lee's uncle. They. The Klansmen are coming back and they're gonna get you. I'm telling you that to offer you, like, hey, look, I'm telling you the truth. They're gonna come back and get you, and I plan on getting them for you, and you can join in and help us get them.
Monet X Change
But. So. But you had all the time to get them. But now. But you're just. You're. You're. You're. No, because I mean, the entire. The entire metaphor of the vampires and this, they're just like, There's. They're systematic oppression. They're lying, they're dangling things, saying that they're gonna help you, but they. But he really had no intention of doing that. Cause he could have done it a long time ago.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, he already did get the two. He got that one Klansman.
Monet X Change
Which one?
Bob the Drag Queen
The white guy who joined him.
Monet X Change
Oh, at the top. No, no, no, no. But he. But he made. He added him to their team.
Bob the Drag Queen
He. Yeah, I will say.
Monet X Change
I imagine adding Klansmen to the team.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, imagine that. He's. That. He. That. Yeah. I will say this. I imagine that by the time he was gonna go over there, he'd just be growing his brood as opposed to actually just getting rid of them. He seemed more interested in growing the brood than he was in just killing people.
Monet X Change
Yeah. So I think that. Which I think, again, is a really dope tool of Ryan Coogler to kind of show the systemic ways that racists work.
Bob the Drag Queen
But it also seems like once you become a vampire, you're not racist anymore because you share consciousness with people of different experiences.
Monet X Change
This is true.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's why I don't think the vampire was racist.
Monet X Change
The original one.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I think that once the racist people became vampires, I think they stopped being racist, too.
Monet X Change
Once the racist people became. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess they weren't attacking. Cause, yeah, they're all. Now they all have this, like, hive mind. They're under one accord, operating with one goal, which is just to get more vampires to their coven. A brood. A vampire brood? Is that what it's called?
Bob the Drag Queen
I think a vampire group is called a brood. Let me see. A brood.
Jacob
Generally speaking, yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
It is a family of young animals, especially of a bird. Oh. Oh. I think they call vampire. Vampire brood. Yeah. A vampire bru. Usually consists of three or more members who gather together for hunting rituals and celebrations. Yep.
Monet X Change
Interesting.
Bob the Drag Queen
I learned that from w. From wrestling.
Monet X Change
Got it. I just also just. I think that in this film, like, I wonder why he. Like, why do you think he used vampires to convey this?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, maybe it is to show that the blunders of. The social blunders of racism are a human thing. Right. Like, I don't think that animals are racist. I do think that animals tend to not like people who they aren't used to seeing. So if a dog doesn't like black people, I don't think it's because the dog is racist. I think it's. The dog's not used to seeing black people. Right.
Monet X Change
But you can't train a. You can train a dog to attack black people, but the dog.
Bob the Drag Queen
But the dog's not doing out of racism.
Monet X Change
Right. It. But you. But. But. But if you teach a dog to attract only black people, like, they did in the 30s and 40s. Like then you're teaching the dog to be ra. It's, it's not attack. Attacking white people. It's not attacking anything else.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you're not teaching the dog racism. You, you, you are giving the dog bias. But the dog isn't doing it based on race. It' training. Right, right. So it's like, it's like a computer. If, if you have a computer that scans and if they see black people it says no, the computer's not racist, it's just biased.
Monet X Change
Yeah, fair.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I feel like it was showing that racism is a human thing and vampires aren't human. And once you have this collective mind hive mind they seem to have gone beyond race. Maybe I might be slightly missing what's going on in the film quite frankly. I mean in, in, in the Coogler's. So one of the things, Cougar write it.
Monet X Change
I think him and his wife did it together. Let me double check.
Bob the Drag Queen
Go ahead Jake, what do you want to say?
Jacob
He did write it. I think one of the, one of the things is that the vampire is like much older than America. So he's like from Ireland from the time when England was spreading their brand of Christianity across England. So I think he is old enough to be around before the conception of like American slavery and the construction of war.
Bob the Drag Queen
He's also from an occupied place. Right. He's Irish. Everyone was being occupied by Great Britain.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
So maybe he has a sympathy for what African Americans are going through. Even though I don't know at the time. While those African Americans living there were not living on. They were living on occupied land. But it was Native American occupied land. It wasn't their land. They were occupied people. Whereas the Irish would have an understanding of what it means to be living under occupation.
Monet X Change
Yeah. This was. Yes. This was written, directed and produced. Written and directed by Ryan Coogler and I think his wife, y' all correct me if I'm wrong but I've read some articles saying that his wife was also a part of it. Like she was in, she was in the Streets screenplaying it with him and writing and stuff like that and giving suggestions and all that. I'm pretty sure I saw that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Woonmi is amazing.
Monet X Change
Woonmi.
Bob the Drag Queen
Woonmi is the witch.
Monet X Change
Oh yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
She played Annie.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Which can I just say, I think.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm saying her name right.
Monet X Change
Wound me though. I love that Coogler included this. Cause you know so many black people, they be so scary about. Oh that's dark sided. That's that demon stuff. I'm like, we don't realize that, like, black people, we are connected to this stuff. Like witchcraft and what you call the stuff.
Bob the Drag Queen
Voodoo and hoodoo.
Monet X Change
Voodoo and hoodoo. Like, that's part. That's all part of our connectedness to the earth and what we did before the introduction of fucking. A fucking Catholicism and Christianity. Like, it's part of who we are. And so I love that he didn't shy away from it. And I am so happy that this movie did not become a Jesus thing. Oh, we can only get him with the cross. Like fucking Deliverance. Remember Deliverance? And got Jesus all of a sudden, baby.
Bob the Drag Queen
Deliverance. That's the Lee Daniels film, right? Yeah, yeah. Deliverance turned into a big religious propaganda piece. And I was honestly insanely disappointed.
Monet X Change
It.
I know. I think that's what it could have.
Bob the Drag Queen
Been a camp cult classic, but then it turned into a fucking Jesus fest, gg. A Jesus fest at the end. I was so disappointed in that. We are inherently black folks. We are inherently a little witchy.
Monet X Change
Yes, we are. We're in scary about that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Omar Benson Miller. I don't think enough people talking about his performance. He played Cornbread, the bodyguard, the front doorman.
Monet X Change
Oh, yeah. I love him.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not enough people talking about how funny he was. He was so insanely funny.
Monet X Change
He's very funny. I mean, he's another person, another actor. I feel like only famous to black people. Like, if I saw him in Erewhon, I'm like, oh, my God. But I would never. He's one of those actors who. I wouldn't know his name, but I've seen him in so many. He's been in so many things.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. I would not know his name. I'm reading it right now. I would not know Omar Benson Miller's name if I saw him.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Also. I mean, and also this movie. This film is set in the 1930s. So in that time in America, things like, that's Jim Crow, that's the Great Depression, fucking chain gangs. There's like. So. There's so many layers in, like, what is happening in America in this film. And I love. I love the community. That shit show. Like, when him. When he went into town to start setting up for the party, he. First of all, he gets this little girl, and he's teaching her about how to negotiate for herself, how to, like, advocate for herself and don't. Don't just accept the first offer. Counter it. Like, I love showing that when those two, like, black dudes were stealing from the car, he Shoots him to teach him a lesson, but then gives him money to go back and to take care of his wounds. That's some community shit, like policing our own and being responsible for each other. I love those subtle hints of that in there as well.
Bob the Drag Queen
I thought it was really dope. So Buddy Guy plays the older version of Sammy.
Monet X Change
Buddy Guy. I don't even know who that is.
Bob the Drag Queen
He plays the older version of Sammy at the very end when.
Monet X Change
Is he a famous musician?
Bob the Drag Queen
He's a musician, yeah.
Monet X Change
Oh. Can I tell you something?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know if I should even mention this, because it sounds shaky, but it's just.
Monet X Change
You have to say no.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's interesting, if nothing.
Monet X Change
What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Buddy Guy was born in 1936.
Monet X Change
Whoa.
Bob the Drag Queen
His wife. His wife was born in 1990. No, that can't be right. That cannot be right. No, he married her in 1991. Okay. Okay.
Monet X Change
I mean, but that's like that Guy that.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was born in 1952.
Monet X Change
Girl. That football guy, he's like 80 years old and his girlfriend's like 25, is going all over the news.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was born in 19. I apologize. Buddy Guy. And I know you listen to the podcast. Buddy. Buddy Guys was born in 1952. Jennifer Guy.
Monet X Change
Got it.
Bob the Drag Queen
There we go. I was like, jesus Christ.
Monet X Change
And I also love showing because, you know, for such a long time, you know, I mean, it's probably more, you know, something that I've seen depicted on film and, like, articles especially, like the Elliot riots, yada, yada, yada. Sometimes you see this, like, this. This tension. I wasn't there. I don't know. That allegedly exists between black people and Asian. Black Americans and Asian Americans. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
I grew up in a town with a lot of black people, a lot of Asian people. New York City has a lot of Asians. A lot of black people.
Monet X Change
Yeah. And like, so. But I. I didn't witness attention. But again, I was. Sometimes I look through the eyes of, like, my. When I was in middle school, right? What did I say? I was like, 10 12, 11 12. And I mean. I mean, I used to go into corner stores all the time that. That a lot of Asian folks would like. And I never felt, like, weird or there were. Sometimes there are some microaggressive things that happen, and sometimes you think someone looks at you a little longer, whatever. But I think depicted on film and what from America's history I've seen is that there has been this tension that has existed between Asian Americans and black Americans and how we coexist in the same neighborhoods and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But in this neighborhood, they had these two Asian. The people who run the shop that they were getting things for. I believe they were Chinese Americans there. And they were like, like, and they were part of the community. And when I was reading this little article, they were saying, I didn't know that they had brought Asian Americans into America to subsidize for African American slavery after we got free.
Bob the Drag Queen
So Chinese people were forced to work on the railroads.
Monet X Change
Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I'm assuming that these. If these people are meant to be Chinese, then they are probably maybe first generation Americans from Chinese railroad. Railroad workers. And I'm glad they show Chinese people Southern accents, because in the south, it is quite common for, like, Asian people and for Latino people to have thick Southern accents. Like my roommate in high school, in college, Jaime had a very. He was Panamanian. He had a very, very thick Southern accent. Incredibly thick Southern accent. And a lot of Asian kids had Southern accents, too, especially if they were. If they were first generation Americans.
Monet X Change
So same thing in St. Lucia. The Asian people live in St. Lucia. They have St. Lucian accents. So why do you think.
Bob the Drag Queen
Why do New York Asians have New York accents?
Monet X Change
I. I think you do see that this, this a little bit my question. So when someone who grew up in New York accent. But it's kind of like a. It's kind of like a New York slash black, Black New York accent that she got read for and she stopped doing it. But that, but it wasn't an accent. Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
I mean, actually, Jiggly fully had a New York accent.
Monet X Change
She did.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're right. I. Jiggly. Jiggly fully had a thick New York.
Monet X Change
Accent, but Awkwafina got dragged for it. Remember this?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, she was putting it on a little bit too. Like Jiggly. That's how Jiggly talks.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, I never heard Jiggly not talk. Like, you know, when she talk, she would talk like that. You know what I mean?
Monet X Change
But when you see people who have like Southern black sense, who are not black, but they grew up in that, like, is that the same thing?
Bob the Drag Queen
So Jaime did. Jaime had a white Southern accent, but he grew up around.
Monet X Change
Is he putting on a white one as opposed to black people?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, he grew up around white people, though.
Monet X Change
So I'm saying. But when you have white people and Latinx. Sorry. And Latino people and Asian people who grew up with black people in the south and they have black Southern accents, is that problematic?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, I grew up. So I grew up in a black community with White people who had black accents. Like, everyone who grew up in a black community knew a few folks who were not black, who were in the community. And all of my. Not all of my. But like, a lot of my friends who were not black, who lived in my neighborhood, they had black accents. Like, they spoke like, they talked like black people. And we never thought anything of it because they just talk, like, everyone around them.
Monet X Change
Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
I think what it is when people catch you not talking like that, for real, I don't think anyone gave jiggly shit for her because she. That's how she really talked.
Monet X Change
Right.
Bob the Drag Queen
But if you. But if you do another interview and you don't. And you don't sound like that no more. Yeah, you're like, hi. You know, everyone's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, baby, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's going on here?
Monet X Change
But I will say black people code switch, too. I code switch.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, but you still sound black.
Monet X Change
Yeah, like.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, I think I. I think I sound black, but I have, like, my professional When I coast, which is basically just my. It's just my professional black voice.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
So, like, if I'm talking to you, I was like this. And if I was doing a thing, I'd be like, hi, everyone, My name is Bob the Drag Queen, and I am. I do a podcast with Monet X Change, and we argue. We're best friends, but we truly, really love each other. Well, if I talk to you, like, I do a podcast with my best friend. Her name is Monet Exchange. We argue a lot, but we really. But we were best friends, though, right? So for me, that's my code switching. It doesn't go full hi, you know?
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, what do you. What do you think about that? I don't know, man.
Monet X Change
I don't know. Like, you know, anytime this. There was. There was a time in TikTok when this was coming up a lot, especially when you see content creators who. From the South. There were, like, two girls specifically that come to mind. I cannot remember their names, but they were. But they were like, people, like, dragged them. They're like, you putting on this accent, it's not for who you are. And one of the girls, she was like, I literally am from College Park, Georgia. Like, this is like, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not doing a thing.
Bob the Drag Queen
College park is Clayton county, whatever.
Monet X Change
Sure. And she's like, I'm not doing an accent. Like, I'm like, like, like, like. Like this hotel. Like. And like, people were like, no, you're white. Stop talking like that. And then I remember, and I think she got. I mean, I haven't seen her content in a very long time, so I don't know if she just, like, went away, but her whole thing was like, guys, I'm not doing a thing. I'm not doing an accent. I'm born and raised here. I've been here since I've been a day old, and I am 19 years old now. I. This is how I've always existed.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do think sometimes people who have that take just did not grow up in. With white people who talk like black people. Like, would. Would you say your neighborhood was black?
Monet X Change
Yeah, I grew up in a very black. East lobby is very black.
Bob the Drag Queen
And did you have any Asian kids who talk like that?
Monet X Change
Yeah, I definitely knew Asian kids that talk like that. I knew white people that talk like that. I told you. I knew white people that said nigga because they grew up in the. They grew up in Vander Project.
Bob the Drag Queen
The Asian folks weren't saying nigga where I was from. The white folks wasn't saying n. Where I was from. Asian people, they said nigger. That popped out a couple times.
Monet X Change
There were a couple Asian people who would say nigga for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
No, there was some. There was a couple of Puerto Ricans who would say nigga.
Monet X Change
Yeah, for sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
But they weren't. But there aren't. There aren't a ton of Puerto Ricans in. In Atlanta.
Monet X Change
They were doing Puerto Rican.
Bob the Drag Queen
They weren't Puerto Rican.
Monet X Change
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not a lot of Vietnamese people in Atlanta.
Monet X Change
Yeah. Anyway, back to Sinners. Yeah. There's just so much of Sinners that again. It's just such a great. I want to watch again because there's more. I've been reading, like, the New York Times articles and Variety. I want to go back and watch it again. In my opinion, Sinners is one of these movies that you should go and see twice. You should go and see it for the first time, experience Sinners, do some research on it, then go back and watch it again. Because there's so many. There's so much stuff in there. I feel like we need to, like, a part two, like, after. I want to watch it again with new eyes and new information and process it differently.
Bob the Drag Queen
To answer the question I asked you a while back, I would have taken up on their offer, but here's the thing. What Annie was saying was, okay. Was Annie saying, kill me before I turn? Because if you turn, is your soul gone forever? Like, once you are a vampire, is your soul just, like, gone now? Why was it so important to Die before you turn.
Monet X Change
I think for her, she knowing what, knowing all the information she has about spirits and all the witchcraft of it all, she had no. She has no desire for to be a part of that. She doesn't want to lose her soul. So she wants her soul to go. Cause she wanted to go be with her kid that she lost. And I think if she turned, she would not get to go and be with her kid.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you don't think that once you're a vampire, like so stack or smoke, which one was bad? Which one got turned to a vampire? One of them.
Monet X Change
Smoke.
Bob the Drag Queen
One of them got turned to a vampire. Once you're gone, you're just. Your soul belongs to the brood now.
Monet X Change
Yeah, I think so.
Bob the Drag Queen
There was a lot of pussy eating in this film.
Monet X Change
It happened twice.
Bob the Drag Queen
And name another film with two pussy eating scenes in it.
Monet X Change
I can't think. I was off my head.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, there was a lot of pussy in this film. Quite a bit. I wasn't mad at it, but I was like, damn. Eating pussy in this movie, honey. And it was a lot of fucking. A lot of fucking.
Monet X Change
There's a lot of fucking.
Bob the Drag Queen
There was a lot of ton of fucking. The young man and then Stack or Smoke. One of them.
Monet X Change
Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Smokestack is such a great name for twins. Can we come up with some other names for twins? Lighthouse, Light and House. Lumber and Jack.
Monet X Change
Lumber and Jack.
Bob the Drag Queen
If it's a Boys and girl. Will and Grace.
Monet X Change
Bo and Mo Bo.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Monet X Change
They're doomed. Wow.
Bob the Drag Queen
They're doomed.
Monet X Change
Okay, so Bob, do we agree that we. That we can talk about sinners again after we both watch it again?
Bob the Drag Queen
I agree.
Monet X Change
I agree too. I think it deserves that.
Bob the Drag Queen
All right, well, y' all see this in part 2 when 1Amakes it back to the movie and then we're gonna do one on everything everywhere all at once.
Monet X Change
I would like to do that actually. So this is just a little light. Light. We're gonna go dig deeper and more in depth when you see it again.
