Introduction

In the episode titled "The One About Technology," hosts Monét X Change and Bob The Drag Queen explore the intricate relationship between technology and various facets of life, including art, identity, and environmental issues. Balancing insightful discussions with their trademark humor, the duo offers listeners a comprehensive look into how technology shapes and is shaped by contemporary culture.

Monet Comes Out as a Swiftie

The episode kicks off with a surprising and heartfelt revelation from Monét X Change as she shares her admiration for Taylor Swift. This confession serves as a springboard into a deeper conversation about personal passions and the influence of celebrity culture on individual identity.

Monét X Change [06:35]: "We talk about technology, and we find out what made Monet say this girl."

Evolution of Drag and Audience Perceptions

Monét and Bob delve into the evolving nature of drag, discussing how drag queens are expanding beyond traditional performances into diverse artistic expressions. They address the challenges and triumphs that come with redefining drag, emphasizing its dynamic and ever-changing essence.

Monét X Change [11:51]: "I think that art, like, artists evolve and change and shed and grow all the time."

The hosts reflect on audience expectations and the difficulty fans face when drag artists transition into new roles or careers, highlighting the importance of adaptability in the art form.

Jealousy and Competition Among Drag Queens

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the themes of jealousy and competition within the drag community. Monét asserts that she rarely feels jealous of her peers, focusing instead on her own growth and achievements. In contrast, Bob shares his experiences with envy, illustrating that it's possible to feel both happiness and jealousy simultaneously.

Bob [15:30]: "I'm genuinely happy for tricks, but also, like, I wish I had."

Monét X Change [16:07]: "But I'm telling you, I have not. I really haven't."

This candid exchange underscores the complexity of emotions that come with success and recognition in a highly competitive environment.

Technology's Dual Nature: Benefits and Dangers

The hosts navigate the dual-edged sword of technological advancements, acknowledging both their benefits and potential harms. They use examples like nuclear weapons and artificial intelligence to illustrate how technology can be leveraged for both creation and destruction.

AI and DeepFake Technology

Monét introduces "Omni Human," an advanced AI developed by ByteDance, capable of generating hyper-realistic human videos from a single image and motion signals. The discussion highlights the ethical implications of such technology, particularly regarding privacy and the potential for misuse in creating misleading or harmful content.

Monét X Change [55:00]: "It's like light years beyond deepfake. How they can take from one ecstatic image of something they can create."

Bob [57:53]: "You can't take someone's likeness and just do what you want with it."

Environmental Impact of Technology

Monét and Bob shift focus to the environmental consequences of technological progress, emphasizing the disproportionate pollution caused by major corporations compared to individual efforts. They cite a University of Manchester study revealing that major corporations are responsible for 71% of global greenhouse gas emissions, challenging the common narrative that individual actions are the primary solution to environmental issues.

Guest [62:27]: "Companies are responsible for 71% of global house emissions."

Monét X Change [63:07]: "These corporations will never. They have no incentive."

The conversation advocates for corporate accountability over individual responsibility, arguing that systemic change is necessary to address environmental degradation effectively.

Environmental Activism Against Corporations

Building on the discussion of corporate pollution, the hosts explore strategies for effective environmental activism. They reference historical movements like the Montgomery Bus Boycott to illustrate the potential impact of collective action. Monét expresses skepticism about the feasibility of such movements today due to the immense power and lack of accountability among major corporations.

Jacob [67:00]: "Imagine if we were able to... dedicating ourselves to not shopping there... the busboy Cost lasted 19 months."

Monét X Change [63:07]: "The margin of hope I have is next to nothing. These corporations will never."

Despite the challenges, the conversation underscores the importance of community-driven efforts to drive meaningful change.

Dating App Fatigue and Introduction of "Field"

Addressing the modern dilemma of dating app exhaustion, Monét introduces "Field," a new dating app designed to move beyond the superficialities of traditional swipe-based platforms. "Field" emphasizes self-discovery, community connection, and authentic interactions, appealing especially to those within the drag and LGBTQ+ communities.

Monét X Change [02:27]: "Dating app fatigue is real, okay? The endless swiping, the awkward small talk... But what if there was a dating app that wasn't just about pursuing someone else, but about discovering yourself?"

Features of "Field"

• Flexibility to Evolve: 62% of members change their sexuality, interests, or desires within the first year, allowing for personal growth without being confined to a fixed profile.
• Diverse Identity Options: Over 20 sexuality and gender identity options promote authentic self-expression.
• Honest Connections: Transparency in user intentions to prevent misunderstandings and wasted time.
• Versatile Usage: Beyond dating, users can find friends, communities, or like-minded individuals.
• No Pressure in Swiping: Users can revisit skipped profiles without incurring additional charges, unlike other apps where skipped profiles vanish permanently.

Monét X Change [17:00]: "Field is a space where you can truly be yourself."

This innovative approach aims to alleviate the stress and superficiality often associated with online dating, fostering a more meaningful and supportive environment.

Definitions of Outdoor Spaces: Porch vs. Balcony vs. Patio vs. Deck

In a lighthearted segment, Monét and Bob engage in a playful debate about the distinctions between various outdoor architectural features such as porches, decks, patios, and balconies. Their humorous banter not only entertains but also educates listeners on the subtle differences and common misconceptions surrounding these spaces.

Monét X Change [73:10]: "A porch is in the front. You do not have a porch in the back of your house."

Jacob [73:23]: "A deck is on the back of your house, but typically speaking, a deck is on a split level thing."

The segment highlights their chemistry and ability to transform mundane topics into engaging conversations.

Final Thoughts on Technology

Concluding the episode, Monét and Bob reflect on the pervasive influence of technology in daily life, acknowledging both its indispensable role and the ethical dilemmas it presents. They caution listeners about the rapid advancements in AI and the blurred lines between reality and artificial creations, urging a mindful and proactive approach to embracing technology.

Monét X Change [59:30]: "That's the part about technology that's a little scary. The whole debate is like, should we or should we not use AI."

Bob The Drag Queen [60:14]: "Not all technology is bad, but we have to be mindful of how we use it."

Their concluding remarks emphasize the necessity of balancing technological progress with ethical considerations to ensure a beneficial coexistence.

Conclusion

"The One About Technology" offers a thought-provoking dialogue on the intersection of art, culture, and technological advancements. Through their lively and candid conversations, Monét X Change and Bob The Drag Queen provide listeners with insightful perspectives on how technology shapes the world of drag, personal identity, and environmental responsibility.

[Jacob]

On this week's episode, Monet comes out as a swiftie.

[Monet X Change]

We talk about technology, and we find.

[Jacob]

Out what made Monet say this girl.

[Monet X Change]

Bob, don't do it. And we find out what made Bob say this.

[Jacob]

This is the most evolved version of you. Why is the rainbow gray?

[Monet X Change]

Why do you think the rainbow's great, Bob?

[Jacob]

Is it because you're queer but you're sad?

[Monet X Change]

Do I come off as a particularly sad person to you?

[Jacob]

That EP comes off a little sad, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Rotation is not sad. Like, what I like is not sad.

[Jacob]

I said a little sad. I didn't say it was overwhelming. It's not a Sam Smith album. It's not a Dell album.

[Monet X Change]

There's only one sad song on it. Really?

[Jacob]

No. I find you to just be. Oh, I'm sorry. Exhausting. Is that the word I meant to use? Sorry.

[Monet X Change]

Uh, you already come in here. Venomous aether.

[Jacob]

Uh, gray rainbow is kind of sad. Uunused. Like, is that sad? Is it unsad? Body's a little sad.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Body is sad and street light is sad. Those are only two sad songs.

[Jacob]

You and you is like, my partner's shady and I'm gonna be like you. You want to be you. I'm a be. I'm a pull a u on you.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Why is that sad?

[Jacob]

I guess it's vengeful.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Jacob]

Okay.

[Monet X Change]

I'm about to have you have you listened to the song Samar, but the.

[Jacob]

Theme is like, so, for example, my loneliness is killing me. Yeah. She's singing it upbeat, but it's still sad.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I'm not talking about the beat. I'm talking about the words, the lyrics, the text. Yeah.

[Jacob]

It's like your partner's, like, being shady and you're like, now I'm going to be like you. I am now stooping to your level.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but it's not sad. It's being vengeful. It's being a little spiteful. It's all those.

[Jacob]

See blue K trail.

[Monet X Change]

Hey, ladies, if your men want to get buckwhile, just go. What did Jacob say?

[Jacob]

I was once limited. I was once limited in how I saw the world. Monet Exchange. Reminisced. Reminisced. This is a novel. I thought the world was only red and blue and those eight colors you get in a crayon box. Elementary school. You got the A1. Damn Brokey. I grew up and graduated. Instead of having blue, I had cerulean. Instead of having all these muted and basic colors, I allowed myself to play with everything. And she has. And the world is so much more beautiful and so much brighter. So I think that everyone should experience that. And that's the. And that's the drag. Let drag take you and transcend your. Your perception into something bigger, better, brighter, and fiercer. I wrote that for Monet. I actually do. If you. If you guys ever had a print review, I actually just write them out. She doesn't do it myself.

[Monet X Change]

Say it again.

[Jacob]

Like any interview. You guys. If any press release. Ever done an interview with Monet. But she didn't actually. She was just like. It was like a typed interview. I actually did them for her. It's true. Can you come clean about that?

[Monet X Change]

I have a question. Why. Why do you. What. What is it about your personality? What disorder do you have that you feel that. That you have to take credit for everything? I do. What?

[Jacob]

I take credit for things that I take.

[Monet X Change]

Personality defect about you.

[Jacob]

I take credit for things that I've had an impact in. And the fact that I literally write your interviews, I think needs to be acknowledged. We're going to call out. We're going to call out people who don't write their own song but say they do. We can't call out people who don't write their own interviews. And also, fun fact, Mon doesn't sign her own signatures. If you ever got something type of a name, she's not signing it. That's.

[Monet X Change]

That's Patty I tell you, one time I had it. I got to check from S. That's not true.

[Jacob]

But there are girls who don't sign their.

[Monet X Change]

Wow, I see. Once I got a check for sim arrivalry for something, whatever, we were paying ourselves off or something, and I forgot and I went to the bank to deposit and I realized I didn't sign. I didn't sign our check. So. Bitch, I had a whole thing with the bank. The bank was like, are you stealing money for some rivalry? I was like, bitch, can't you see this? Under my own things? How am I stealing money from. From that account? It was a whole bunch of people.

[Jacob]

Like, just because you own the company doesn't mean you can take any money you want from it.

[Guest]

Yeah, but like, when Monet used up every money to pay for her wigs.

[Jacob]

I do remember that specifically. Yes.

[Monet X Change]

There are things that we've seen in your. Which remind me. This is this thing I need to talk about.

[Jacob]

Okay.

[Guest]

Do you want to write it down somewhere so we. You don't forget.

[Monet X Change]

Jacob, Mind your fucking business.

[Jacob]

So, Monet, I want to know your thoughts on the girl's drag evolving to be, like, gender fucky slash little to no drag. Have you. Have you. I. I listened to Rose's EP the other day. Oh, boy.

[Monet X Change]

And what'd you think? And does. Is. Is that. Is that a major theme of her? Of her. Of her. Of her album?

[Jacob]

I think her. No, but her current visual is like, she's not in drag for a lot of it, or she's doing, like, drag with like a. It's like gender fucky less phenomenon than she feminine nominal that she used to do.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I mean, I think a lot of girls are trying to transition. I mean, I think the. The. The one big one that comes to mind that kind of like, I'm leaving drag behind. Fuck. Drag is Aja. Remember when Aja, after All Stars 3 was. You know, she was drag, drag, drag, drag, drag. And then all of a sudden, she was like, hey, I'm doing rap and I'm leaving the drag behind. And it was like, a big thing. Fans are like, I came to this show expecting aja, not this. And it was a whole thing.

[Jacob]

Well, my question is, I think there's a lot of. A lot of girls who find their drag to be a Persona.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And that's not my experience.

[Jacob]

Like, if your drag is a Persona. If, like. But also, like, no, feel free. Have your drag be a Persona. But my drag is never really. I mean, in my early aughts, my drag was Persona was personified.

[Monet X Change]

I bought this girl walking around with that damn whip trying to fucking attack people on the streets of New York.

[Jacob]

Okay, first of all, that is something that I. I was never trying to attack anyone. To be clear, I've seen the footage.

[Monet X Change]

As Bob, you literally. That.

[Jacob]

That.

[Monet X Change]

That white lady on 23rd street that you hit with the whip that we don't talk about, but I hope one day that she gets divorced. Young girl don't cry.

[Jacob]

Well, she won't. She won't dare because she doesn't want the full. Really? She'll be releasing edited footage, but I'll pull a Taylor Swift and drop the whole. The whole unedited footage. Kim Kardashian.

[Monet X Change]

Nobody said, did you see that clip of Kim Kardashian on Andy Cohen's show? And he was like, how are things with. How are things with. How are things with you and Taylor Swift? And she goes. He's like, have y'all. Have you guys apologized or. Everyone just moved on. She was like, everyone's moved on.

[Jacob]

She doesn't apologize.

[Monet X Change]

She wants to be. I feel like Kim Kardashian is such a fucking pick me bitch. I know she wants to be friends with fucking Taylor Swift so bad, but Taylor Swift will never. Taylor Swift is so petty. She would never be friends with that bitch. I thought pick me wouldn't want to.

[Jacob]

Be friends with girls or pick me want to be friends with the boys.

[Monet X Change]

I know what it means. But in this confines. In the parameters of this, you know, Kim Kardashian would love nothing more than to be friends with. Because Taylor Swift is rich, fierce, and successful and so beloved. You know, she wants to be friends with her. You know she does, and it eats her alive that she will never be.

[Jacob]

I mean, Taylor Swift said what she said.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, and Beyonce fucking deserved that shit. I mean, and Kim Kardashian deserved that shit, especially everything she did with fucking with that fucking idiot Kanye. Anyway, go on back to the me.

[Jacob]

Like, a lot of times when there's drama, Taylor Swift comes out smelling like roses.

[Monet X Change]

I was just saying, Bob, at the Grammys, when you watch. Watching Taylor Swift watch the Grammys, it was so illuminating for me because, number one, everyone always talks about how sweet, how kind, how generous this woman is. And when people wins awards, she is literally up there just jumping and screaming and celebrating everyone so hard. And I'm like.

[Jacob]

Because she has every award they've already won. If they won it, she already got it.

[Monet X Change]

I don't think. That's why.

[Jacob]

I don't think she has any Jealousy. Because I think it's hard to experience jealousy when you're on the top. I would know. I think we're on the top. It's hard to experience jealousy. So she's like, why would I be jealous that Beyonce won album of the year? I've already won it. Why would I be jealous that you won new artist? I've already won it. Why would I be jealous that you're selling tickets? I'm selling more tickets. So honestly, I'm happy for you.

[Monet X Change]

But I mean, I mean, I think it's easy to. If you can reduce it down to that. I think there are also good natured people and I think that, I mean, I don't know, I don't think it.

[Jacob]

Doesn'T make you good natured. I'm just saying, like, it's really easy to not feel jealousy when you have nothing to be jealous about because you're literally.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I'm saying, choosing to believe that maybe it's not because of that. Maybe because she's generally like, even if, let's say, I mean, we won't know this world because we live in a world where Taylor Swift has all these things. But I would like to believe in my mind, in my heart that if there was a moment multiverse of Taylor Swift didn't win all these things, but she was still super successful and whatever, she would still be overjoyed and ecstatic for all these people.

[Jacob]

Have you ever been jealous of someone who had more than you or had someone that you wanted?

[Monet X Change]

I think as a kid, I think growing up as a. Like, I think that I think one place I did get jealous of other people for, like when I was in high school and everyone knows I went to a performer arts. Not everyone, but I went to a performing arts school that was very faggoty, very gay. The bitch. We had the music theater kids, the drama kids, the ABT kids, the drag queens. The drag queen. Literally in school drag queens. And I was so jealous of how. Of them being out because I could not fathom a world where I would be out. So to see these fucking ballet dancing boys, these Alvin Ailey boys, these music theater boys, just being so faggoty and out and open. I was so jealous because I was like, this will never be me. I will never have the courage to be like these people.

[Jacob]

You don't experience jealousy as an adult. I'm just gonna go ahead and say, before you answer, if you say no, I don't believe you.

[Monet X Change]

I'm not saying.

[Jacob]

I'm just gonna go ahead and throw that out there.

[Monet X Change]

I can't think of a people who.

[Jacob]

Say, I don't say. I don't get jealous. I just don't believe you.

[Monet X Change]

Not in drag. Like, not in drag. Like, jealous. Like, I mean, feelings of like, oh, I wish I did that gig, but not like, oh, I fucking hate. I can't believe that they didn't get it. Like, maybe, Maybe. When I'm thinking jealousy, I'm thinking of, like, a toxic thing. Like, ugh, why did they get in and not me? The closest person that I would. That there are parallels between us and we work together a lot would be you. I would feel jeal, but there's nothing that. But there's nothing that you've gotten or got or. Or done. And I'm like, ugh, I wish I, I generally have not felt that. I really haven't.

[Jacob]

It's different when you're friends with someone and you. When you appreciate them on a different level. I've been jealous of people that I'm friends with. Like, for example, I mean, and it doesn't have to be vitriol. It doesn't have to be like, that bitch. Like, I was jealous that you did Wild N Out, and I didn't do it because, like, they were like, comedy and rap. And I was like, this is crazy. Was. It Was my phone busy that day? But I wasn't mad. I wasn't, like, angry. I was like, oh, man, I'm so jealous. I wish I had done that. I don't think jealousy has to be like, you fuck you, bitch. You fucking bitch. It's like, oh, that would've been so much fun. I wish I'd done that.

[Monet X Change]

Probably the biggest thing will probably be traitors when you got traitors. Because I'm such a fan of reality game shows and everyone knows I love shit like that. Survivor, all these shows. But again, I wasn't jealous, though. The biggest career thing, you getting on Drag Race before me, I was like, those are the big things I would have wanted. But because it was you, I don't. There was nothing. A moment. I was like, I wish I would have gotten that.

[Jacob]

But you can be happy for someone and jealous at the same time.

[Monet X Change]

But I'm telling you, I, I, I know you can, but I'm saying I have not. I didn't feel those things. And I'm trying to think of, like, big career things I would feel jealous about, and I did not feel that.

[Jacob]

Maybe with somebody else, maybe selling tickets or a makeup brand, eating the girlies up or. Or and been like, oh, that's so, like, I wish, like, not again. It's not vitriol to the person, just like.

[Monet X Change]

So you mean. Well, let's call exact things out, right? Like the fact that Trixie Mattel's makeup company was, Was, was. Was. Fuck. When I say dog walking us, cat training us, pissing on us. No, I was. I don't think I was jealous.

[Jacob]

I'm genuinely happy for tricks, but also, like, I wish I had.

[Monet X Change]

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know we moved past the not happy, not happy. I'm just saying. But I generally didn't feel. I really did not feel jealous. I'm not even trying to do a thing. Trying to do a bit. I did not feel jealous. And I think, like, getting on Drag Race before me, or let's. Let's. I think that, let's say, remove you from it. Let's say it was maybe, like, Pixie who got on Drag Race before me and, like, we're together. I probably would be jealous of that because I'm like, this fucking bitch that is so continuous. I can't believe she got that before me. I think I would have felt that before. Like, that would have made me feel really jealous and not even, like, jealous. Like, I'm happy for her. I would probably. It would have been vitriol and jealousy.

[Jacob]

That's interesting. That's. That's very interesting. Back to. And the. And the idea of, like, people, like, like, because Rose said she's not quitting drag, her drag is evolving is what she said.

[Monet X Change]

Which. That's what I wanna say. That's. That's. Thank you. Bring us back. Um, I think that art, like, artists evolve and change and shed and grow all the time. I think that because a lot of us are drag queens, people just see us as drag queens, but we're just artists. Right? I. I think it's. I think a big reason is of. Of that. Why people feel that for queens like Lala Ri and when Aja did it, and queens, like, leave the drag behind because they met us as drag queens, it's hard for them to digest us in another way. Not say they can't. But a lot of them only want to see the drag. But I mean, artists evolve and change and do shit differently all the time. And I think drag queens are not exempt from that. Like, drag queens can evolve and change and shed layers and add them again. Like Aja. Aja started doing drag again, right? And so I think that. I think. I think it's fine. I don't think it's weird?

[Jacob]

No, I don't think it's weird, but I'm saying.

[Monet X Change]

I'm not saying you think it's weird, but a lot of fans think it's weird.

[Jacob]

It's like Rose released her new songs, and she's not in drag in these new songs. Or is this an evolved version of her drag?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, drag is everything, right?

[Jacob]

Yeah, but also, no. Yes, but no.

[Monet X Change]

A famous. The. The Queen of Drag once said, you're. We're all born naked and everything else is put in drag. Right?

[Jacob]

So. So. So, yeah, I mean, yeah, it's all drag, blah, blah, blah. But I think it's fair to say that what you and Mitch McConnell are doing is not the same thing. We can agree on that, right? Mitch McConnell's not a drag queen. We can agree on that, right?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, but who said I think he's a drag in the house? Mitch McConnell is doing drag in the house.

[Jacob]

So are we going to sit here in the streets on this podcast?

[Monet X Change]

I'll get it. I get it. Thank you.

[Jacob]

So if you look at Rose's new video, in my opinion, she's not in drag. But is this just an evolved version of her drag? You know, a queen in New York City, famously.

[Monet X Change]

Can you bring up a free spring? Like, is she like, what are you saying? She's not in drag. She's not like. She's like this.

[Jacob]

I'll let you be the judge. You can be the judge, and you tell me if this is drag, y'all.

[Monet X Change]

This is Bob's new thing. So y'all remember I tell. Yo, Bob. Well, this is for the visual people.

[Jacob]

What about that waiter? Let's ask the audience.

[Monet X Change]

Do y'all remember, for the people watching, remember when I said Bob, I think he's. Bob stopped doing this because Bob used to do Monet. This was his thing. Now she loves this. This is your dude. Okay, we're watching Reverse Days video for Overqualified, and they are in a mustache of a very heavy boy beat. Or, sorry, a very heavy makeup beat. This is contoured, highlighted for. For the nerds. But there's no. There is little shadows.

[Jacob]

I mean.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, is that a drag queen? No, that's not a drag queen. That would not say that's a drag queen.

[Jacob]

And go into the video right before this one. Jacob, the video where she's. Where she's dancing, is this drag? Answer my motherfucking question. In fact, answer it after this break.

[Monet X Change]

Okay? One of the best things about having this podcast, y'all legitimately is that a lot of these companies that we have sponsoring us are companies that we actually use and use even before they knew the podcast existed. I was a Lumi girl. I did seven shows a week. I used to put that Lumi deodorant in my nono bits, under my armpits, everywhere that I felt got a little a lot of action. I wanted to make sure I was always smelling right. I did not want to be no.

[Jacob]

Ties, them thighs, them thighs.

[Monet X Change]

Literally. I would put it down there because I wanted to make sure that when I took off my tights or when I'm changing in the back of the dressing room, I wasn't the girl funking up the place. Okay? And I'm not pointing fingers to nobody else, but I just don't want to their names for me. I want it to be cool. And that's why I love love love Lumi. I started using Lumi Whole Body deodorant and I have to say, you know, it is just 72 hour control. Like what for your?

[Jacob]

I've watched one day use it before Monet is whole body W h o l e I've seen the way you use it.

[Monet X Change]

You are so rude. And don't get me started about how good the spray deodorant is for hard to read spots or the fact that none of their stuff has baking soda or par. This is ob GYN developed, y'all. It's made for your whole body and mind.

[Monet X Change]

Y'All. So you know the girlies have always been curious about GLP1 medications. You know the ones we're hearing so much about Lilly when it comes to weight loss. But honestly, the price tags and access always felt a little out of reach for the girls wanting to lose the weight. So that's why I was so intrigued when I found out. Noom. Yes, that's Noom, the one known for helping people build better habits, now offers an affordable GLP1 program. It's called Noom GLP1, and here's what makes it different. It's a compounded semi glutide that starts at just $149. If you qualify, it ships right to your door within seven days. But this isn't just about getting a medication. It's a whole support system.

[Monet X Change]

Why do you have the outfit on backwards?

[Jacob]

I'm not wearing it backwards.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, you are. The fuzzy part goes inside.

[Jacob]

No.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Jacob]

No.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Jacob]

That doesn't even make sense.

[Monet X Change]

Literally.

[Jacob]

Literally.

[Monet X Change]

Look at the fucking top of the hood, bitch. The label. This is the tag. No, flip that over.

[Jacob]

That's the tip.

[Monet X Change]

The little square at the top.

[Jacob]

That's a tag right there.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, because it's supposed to be that way. The fuzzy part. To keep you warm, bitch.

[Jacob]

Oh, I feel warm.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, you don't have to change it. It's fine. You don't have no one. The. The hoodie police aren't gonna come and get you.

[Jacob]

This is wild. If you missed it, you missed it.

[Monet X Change]

This is wild that you wore the outfit inside out. That's wild.

[Jacob]

I didn't realize. I want you to stay, I guess. Does this make more sense?

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Jacob]

Oh, it didn't occur to me.

[Monet X Change]

So here's the question. Is this drag?

[Jacob]

So back to the question. Is that drag?

[Monet X Change]

You know, I wouldn't say that's drag. I would say the most recent one, she's wearing a lot of makeup. I would call that closer to drag than the.

[Jacob]

Is that an evolved. So when she says her drag is evolving, does she mean, like. Because there are moments where she's like, in drag with the mustache and like.

[Monet X Change]

In Dragon, I saw it when she had that blonde hair and she was talking to the camera.

[Jacob]

Yeah. So I'm like, gray hair. When she says my drag is evolving, is that what she means? Is that her evolved drag or is it the mustache thing? Is that the evolved drag?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I think. I think maybe the mustache is the evolved. And she's going to play with the gender fuckery and the makecossity of all.

[Jacob]

Of it, but not the stuff in the video that's out of drag. Right?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Jacob]

There was a queen in New York City who famously went on a thing where she was like, all dragons art and all art is valid. And her name was Elizabeth James. And Elizabeth James, she said, baby, I'm gonna tell you right now, I am a drag queen no matter what. And she would go to her gig fully out of drag. I mean, do the same gig fully out of drag. It was like, it is what it is.

[Monet X Change]

I forgot about Elizabeth James. I didn't know this era of her. So when she did that, what happened?

[Jacob]

There was like a bit of unrest in the scene. People who were like, it's valid. There are people who are like, this is not drag. There are people who are like, you can't come to the gigs like this.

[Monet X Change]

What did the owner say of the bomber?

[Jacob]

It was Brooklyn. So, you know, I'm not really in the Brooklyn scene. I just remember seeing it on Facebook being like, oh, girl. What is like, this is interesting. Honestly, I kind of wanted to go to a show.

[Monet X Change]

That'S interesting. I mean, there have been parts of me that sometimes I would like to do stand up out of drag, which I have done out of drag. But it's tough when, like, you know, I'm sorry about stand up dates and the Toro posters of me are in drag. And when I show up to the gig, I think that's shady.

[Jacob]

Right.

[Monet X Change]

If I'm gonna do stand up days out of drag, it needs to be communicated on the posters so people don't come to the show expecting something, and I give them something else.

[Jacob]

Do you have photo shoots of yourself out of drag?

[Monet X Change]

No, I Need to have someone out of drag.

[Jacob]

You know, I. When I go do stand up at someone else's show, I don't get in drag for it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, that's fair for me, too. It depends. It depends for me.

[Jacob]

And if I thought about just. I want to work some material out and do I want to get all up in full yags? Because my material is rarely ever about me being a drag. My material is not like I'm in a dress. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Jacob]

I just like dressing up, you know?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Yeah. I do love putting on a sickening wig and a sexy dress and telling jokes on stuff.

[Jacob]

And also some of the other wigs you wear, too. You love a sickening wig. And also some of your other wigs.

[Monet X Change]

I know you. I'm gonna be.

[Jacob]

First of all, I know. Do we need to roll the footage of you laughing at your own wigs? Is that what we need to do today?

[Monet X Change]

Nigga, I could do. Can I. Should I go through your mother Instagram and pull up the footages about your ass?

[Jacob]

Bitch, do we need. Do we need to roll the footages of you?

[Monet X Change]

The countless images of your ass walker looking crazy, running around looking crazy, as a motherfucker, like fucking Monique would say.

[Jacob]

Do we need to roll the footage of you?

[Monet X Change]

I know you ain't fucking talking, honey.

[Jacob]

Let's just say that's all.

[Monet X Change]

I don't stop at the wigs. I have some other notes and.

[Jacob]

Oh, same, mama.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Jacob]

Do we need to pull up footages real quick?

[Monet X Change]

Girl, Vav, don't do it.

[Jacob]

Cause, Monet, you know, because I'm telling you right now, you don't want to play this game.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, you don't want to play this game?

[Jacob]

You know what? Let's play the game. Let's use technology to play the game. Jacob, go to your motherfucking dm. We about to have a motherfucking blast with this basic bald head, raggedy ass, crooked foot, old big back, fucking sideways, raggedy old, fucking crooked nipple.

[Monet X Change]

Bob. You don't want to play this game.

[Jacob]

And you know what? I'm going to your own social media. We don't even need to scour the Internet, honey. We'll go to your page. You can be the source material. Jacob, can you put this image on the screen? I'm gonna talk about Monae's dress. I'm gonna talk about what about Mon. What about this dress? Oh, my God. Honestly, I feel bad for the designers who are going to be catching strays in this, because this.

[Guest]

Where are you sending it to me?

[Jacob]

To your Instagram. Okay. This Monet. I'm so glad we're playing this game. This is one of my favorite games we're playing. Oh, Jesus. Yo, the source material is sourcing. I'm on your own page, bitch. I don't have.

[Monet X Change]

I've screenshotted these images, baby. You are the baby.

[Jacob]

You are the. What they justify right now. Justify quickly is this thing.

[Monet X Change]

This dress was made by Markle Marco and the Wicked had an exact vision of what in mind they wanted for the. For the show the to look like.

[Jacob]

Answer the question. Is it sickening what I think. Answer the question.

[Monet X Change]

Do you look sickening without the poppy thing?

[Jacob]

Answer the question. Yes. Do you look sickening? I.

[Monet X Change]

It is sickening. I look great.

[Jacob]

How many times have you worn this look since then? With this whole. With the whole thing?

[Monet X Change]

I have it. Wicked kept it. So I don't have it. They.

[Jacob]

They kept it. They probably burned it.

[Monet X Change]

They kept the look.

[Jacob]

They probably saw the. They said good news. They burned it. At the efficient beginning of wickedness ad no one mourns the wicked. No one mourns the wicked. Bring up the next image.

[Guest]

How do you think this look stacks against the other three looks in the photo?

[Monet X Change]

I think that probably mine is whimsical.

[Jacob]

In order of. In order of looks and how they look, I would say Ariana's one, Cynthia's two, Monet's three. Jinx is four.

[Monet X Change]

Wow.

[Guest]

Jinx is still the best dressed drag queen in this photo.

[Jacob]

No, Jinx is four.

[Guest]

Oh, no, sorry. Monet is still the best. That's what I meant. Monet is still the best dressed drag queen in this film.

[Jacob]

But everything's drag. It's all drag. Sorry, I gotta drag queen too. It's. We're all born naked. Monat justify this. Tell me about what's going on here.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, this is a. I love. I think I look very beautiful. I love this corset. I wear it with jeans. This is for. This is for when I do some. Some more like music R and B vibes. I love. I think I look beautiful.

[Jacob]

Well, that I can tell because you posted it so obviously. And this is even paid you. You paid to have this photo taken?

[Monet X Change]

And I just. And for my images. I just went to Getty images of what I found. Okay. I just want to be very.

[Jacob]

And to be clear, I want to be clear. I went to Monet. Now I can go to Getty and find some image of Monet too.

[Monet X Change]

I'm just saying this is what I found. This is of you that are out there that I wanted to put other things.

[Jacob]

Well, let me go to Getty too, since.

[Monet X Change]

Can you bring up my last image I sent you?

[Guest]

Yeah, give me one second. Taking a moment to load.

[Jacob]

And I also want to make y'all. Make this clear to y'all. Every image I put up, Monet has been within the past year.

[Monet X Change]

Okay. Doesn't matter.

[Jacob]

I just want to make that clear.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, so now. Okay, so now, so now you. So now you put in qualifiers and make sure you know this is very. This is your Bob the Dragon.

[Jacob]

I want to make sure the fans know this is your most recent. Wait, please. I'm let you say your thing. I just want you guys to know that the drag you're presenting, this is the best. This is the most evolved version of you.

[Monet X Change]

Okay?

[Jacob]

This is your best work.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, great. Super. Let's go into this image. Can you please explain why you would go on the show? Jay, can you bring the image, please? Can you just explain this look for us? Tell us.

[Jacob]

I would love to. I would love to. This was me going on your show and I wanted to meet your level of track.

[Monet X Change]

Uh huh. Yeah, yeah. So I said, listen to my level of drag.

[Jacob]

I said Monet was jeans.

[Monet X Change]

Uh huh. And then she don't look like that in them jeans. But I'm curious about the jeans with the stoned shoes. That's an interesting choice. And tell us about the hair and makeup choices here. I'm curious.

[Jacob]

Sickening, yo.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, you're right. You are sick. You do.

[Jacob]

Look, I wanted to meet your level of dragon influenza. And bear in mind, I want to remind y'all, this photo is from. Now we can go into Monet's archives too. We could go into the archives.

[Monet X Change]

She's giving influenza.

[Jacob]

We could go into the archives. And what's your next one? Let's see your next one and the one before that.

[Monet X Change]

Jacob. Now this was.

[Jacob]

Tell us about this dress. First of all, this dress is stunning. I genuinely love this dress. Down. This hair. I love this hair. Excuse me. Down. My makeup could have been better, but this look I stand. I wish I still knew where this dress was. I wish I could still find this dress to this day. I absolutely love this dress. I would. Where is this dress? Where is this fucking dress?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know, but we're happy it's gone.

[Jacob]

I miss this dress. Oh, this is a great dress.

[Monet X Change]

We're happy.

[Jacob]

This dress we made. Dallas, we're gonna round to this one because this is a stunning. I don't know where this dress is.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're happy. We're so happy about that.

[Jacob]

That's all. That's all your footages.

[Monet X Change]

What are we doing, too?

[Jacob]

Oh, I'm eating the girlies up on this day. Okay, first of all, this was after a long show. I had taken. But this is after a very long show. It was the end of the show. I had sweat off everything. I had taken off my jacket. I had taken off this. After working hard. She works hard for the money. Now, I wanna be clear. Your images, you were fresh, and they were recent. You only have old images. All of Monae's pictures are from the past year. Oh, I look. This look is one of the most praised looks from the season. And this is undebatable Me on Dungeons and Drag Queens. Season two is literally the most praised look of the season.

[Monet X Change]

This is the most praised look of the season.

[Jacob]

Yes.

[Monet X Change]

No, I think it's pre W versus Alaska. Was. Alaska got her tinge. Alaska was the best dress of the season. 100%. Are you joking?

[Jacob]

Eat my motherfucking foot and tell her I said it.

[Monet X Change]

Hey, but we all know Jujube and.

[Jacob]

Tell her I said it.

[Monet X Change]

Jujubee's wig was. Was. Was. Was the worst dress of the season.

[Jacob]

Jujube's wig was not. Now, y'all notice in the last three episodes, the wig. The. The wig line was cut. She was like. Y'all was. Let me out there like that. I said, girl, I don't know what you do with your life.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God.

[Jacob]

What you do with your life.

[Monet X Change]

I need to send her that TikTok that you told her to make. I still have it on my phone.

[Jacob]

Jujubee made a TikTok?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, because remember, she was. She was eating the crustable and she had her powder puff, and you were like, okay, Jujubee, you're gonna pick up the powder puff and act like you, but then you're gonna eat it, remember?

[Jacob]

Oh, yeah. Did she ever. Oh. Oh. Act like the crust was a powder puff and then take a bite from it? Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Why didn't.

[Jacob]

Why did she post. You didn't send it to her?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I used to send it to her. I just remember that.

[Jacob]

Let's post it here. This. This is the video. Send it to the media chat.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, God. Sending the media in the middle of the podcast is crazy.

[Jacob]

Yeah, you never do it.

[Monet X Change]

Not true.

[Jacob]

I've noticed you never do it.

[Monet X Change]

That is not true, Bob. You can't just say things like they're facts. It's not. You can't just. That's not True.

[Jacob]

That is a fact. You don't send the media.

[Monet X Change]

That is not true.

[Jacob]

Or you will. You'll be like, jay, you have the picture somewhere.

[Monet X Change]

That's not true.

[Jacob]

Jay, how many times have you been told to. Jay, put in a little note here. Editor's note. Jay, put in a little editor's note for the girls. Now, since we're using technology to drag each other in your most recent version of drag your most evolved state in your most evolved state, let's talk about technology in general. Now, technology can be a tool for good. Technology can be a tool for bad. Technology has created hydrogen bombs. Technology has created. Well, the hydrogen bomb is actually bigger than the atom bomb.

[Monet X Change]

Is it?

[Jacob]

What's the biggest nuclear bomb? The hydrogen bomb is way bigger than the atom bomb.

[Monet X Change]

Is the nuclear bomb the biggest one?

[Jacob]

They are all nuclear bombs. So a hydrogen bomb and the atom bomb, they're all nukes. Got it? So an atom bomb by today's scales would be laughable. An atom bomb by today standard for what? For the nuclear warheads and weapons and ballistics that are in the world right now is nothing compared to what is sitting in the arsenals of these countries. What America has just sitting down by the bay, just hanging out, would wipe entire, like, three, four cities off the map.

[Monet X Change]

It's crazy.

[Jacob]

It's crazy.

[Monet X Change]

It's crazy.

[Jacob]

Can you look up the difference between, like, a hydrogen bomb mushroom cloud and the atom bomb mushroom cloud? No, I'm pretty sure they're all nuclear. I'm pretty sure they're all nukes, but they're just different kinds of nukes.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, the fact that we as human beings made this shit is so crazy now because the only. What. The only reason to do that is to wipe people off, like, a country or a city off the face of the Earth. Like, there's no other reason to make something that is. That. Is that devastating, which is.

[Jacob]

So the only reason to do it is to devastate a country or bring them to their knees. That's the only reason. That's the only reason to do it.

[Monet X Change]

I know.

[Jacob]

And you have them. So these, these, these, these, these warheads, these, these, these, these nukes, they're essentially just threats, right? They're just like, we got this. And don't get crazy.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I mean, have you seen a p. This is. Sorry, it's the last, last hand.

[Jacob]

Are you looking for that picture, by the way, Jacob?

[Guest]

So the mushroom cloud would be 7 to 12 miles high. Hiroshima. Hiroshima's mushroom cloud was 7 miles high. And then the muscle Crap. Mushroom. Mushroom cloud would be 25 to 60 miles high. And the blast radiance would be for atomic bomb would be like 10 miles. Window shattered, 10 miles. A mile of total destruction and 2 to 3 miles of severe damage. And then a hydrogen bomb is 15 to 20 miles of total destruction, 30 miles of severe damage and windows would be shattered up to 100 miles away.

[Monet X Change]

So if you drop it. If it were to drop an hydrogen bomb. A hydrogen bomb in like an ozone park, it would go all the way to New Jersey.

[Jacob]

Oh, Monet. If you drop a hydrogen bomb in Manhattan, every part of New York City is destroyed.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, every.

[Jacob]

All five boroughs. I mean, there's not much to Sayn Island. No, Monet, did you hear what.

[Monet X Change]

That is not Staten Island. From, from, from, From, I guess where? Manhattan. Right.

[Jacob]

It's 25 miles. Manhattan's only 14 miles long.

[Monet X Change]

It's Right, but, but Salt Lake. Salt Lake City. Staten island is probably like another after the water. Staten island is probably like another, like 20 miles away. It's not, it's not that close.

[Jacob]

I don't think it's 20 miles away. How far is Staten island from Manhattan?

[Monet X Change]

Let me. I'm gonna go over real quick.

[Jacob]

I don't think it's 20 miles away. And what's the, what's the blast on a hydrogen bomb? And by the way, the hydrogen bomb is not even the biggest bomb anymore.

[Monet X Change]

There's another one.

[Jacob]

There's bigger ones. I can't remember the name of there. There's way bigger ones. Way bigger.

[Monet X Change]

See, like Staten Island. Yeah. Staten island is about. Is the distance from Staten island to Manhattan is 19.4 miles. It's 20 miles. It's not that close.

[Jacob]

Oh, I thought it was way closer. But look at how big. Look at how big this thing is, Monet. This is, this is, this is out to Newark. This is.

[Guest]

Yellow is the fireball radius.

[Jacob]

The. I'm colorblind, so I don't know which.

[Monet X Change]

Color the yellow is. That first ring. That first ring. Yeah. Okay, so Bob, the biggest one is the thermal radiation radius. Third degree burns extend through the layers of skin and are often painless because they destroy the pain nerves.

[Jacob]

So y'all, there is, there is third degree burns. If you dropped an atom bomb in south. In the south part of Manhattan, all the way out to Newark, New Jersey, they are getting third degree burns all the way out to Newark, New. So that means people in Little Ferry, people in Wallington, people in Lindenhurst, people in Kenny, East Orange, Bloomfield, Newark, New Jersey, parts of Elizabeth, Bayonne Bayonne, New Jersey. Bayonne, New Jersey. Fort Lee. That's. That's. This blast is insane. Insane. And by the way, there are way bigger bombs than hydrogen bombs.

[Monet X Change]

But you know what? But Far Rockaway, y'all got it. Far Rockaway, y'all are going to be like, what happened?

[Jacob]

Something happened all over. Tell people. Far Rockaway is about as far as you can be from Manhattan and still say you live in New York City. Far Rockaway is. It's in the name. It is Far. Far Rockaway is far.

[Monet X Change]

Wow. Yeah. The fact that we create anyway this. Can we move on to another part of technology? This is upsetting to me. I hate that we create that. We want that. We want this, y'all. Dating app fatigue is real, okay? The endless swiping, the awkward small talk, the same conversations over and over and over. What's your favorite color? Where do you like to go eat? Where is your favorite coffee? Too much. But what if there was a dating app that wasn't just about pursuing someone else, but about discovering yourself? That's where feel comes in. In Field, spelled F E E L D is a space for the curious, the playful and the open minded. It's not just about dating. It's about exploring your desires and connecting with communities that actually get you. Whether you're into open relationships, deep conversations, or even findings, people who share your love for D and D. Y'all know I love me some D and D girl.

[Jacob]

Not all customers will medically qualify for prescription medications. Compounded medications are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality. And then we have the other side, which is creating things like limbs for people who don't have limbs. You know, prosthetics, you have medicine, you have penicillin, you have albuterol, you have stuff like that.

[Monet X Change]

But you also, I mean, cause you get dark again, which you also like. When it comes to medicine, like the advancements of medicine like back in the.

[Jacob]

Day, like I don't want to talk about in the dark anyway.

[Monet X Change]

We have to consider though that a lot of these, especially for like people like obgyns, right? The reason why they were back then there was so many advancements in that type of medicine was because they were operating and experimenting on black women. They were like literally would take their bodies and try shit out and cut them up and dissect them, people who were alive. So like a lot of the advancements back then were because they were literally eclipsed Experimenting on us like animals.

[Jacob]

So the question is, is all technology bad?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, at some point it has to be, right?

[Jacob]

I mean, guess.

[Monet X Change]

I guess not all of it has to be at some point. But, like, what is the type of technology that probably was not bad at some point?

[Jacob]

Light. Light. No. Light can burn people. Light has been used to burn people, damage people's retinas. Torture is used for torture, for death. I'm sure light can kill someone. I'm sure.

[Monet X Change]

Electricity. Well, no, that's.

[Jacob]

Well, that's lightning. Light comes from lightning. Light does come from electricity if it's not contained. Yes.

[Monet X Change]

Electricity and light. Electricity is fucking everywhere. Electricity. This computer is electricity. It's not light. Who is that? Oh, yeah, the Amish. The Amish. They don't use technology at all. That's fear.

[Jacob]

They use technology. What they use wheels are technology. Technology's not just electronics.

[Monet X Change]

Fire.

[Jacob]

I don't think fire is technology.

[Monet X Change]

It's kind of technology.

[Jacob]

You invent fire, you discover fire. You don't invent fire, you just find out about it, but you invent the will. The will is technology, and you can.

[Monet X Change]

Create fire, but that's not inventing it.

[Jacob]

Correct. That doesn't mean that you. Yeah, you can create a plant from a seed.

[Monet X Change]

You know, I don't think we can. I guess there's technology. You can create plants now, but.

[Jacob]

No, you can create a plant from a plant. Like, if you create a plant from another plant, then you created a plant.

[Monet X Change]

Are you gonna make subspecies of plants?

[Jacob]

No, I would say if you have an apple tree, and then you take an apple from the tree and you take a seed and you put it in the ground and it grows. Have you not created a tree?

[Monet X Change]

No.

[Jacob]

So then we're not creating babies.

[Monet X Change]

No, that's different. Cause we're creating them from our own bodies, though. You're not.

[Jacob]

So you say if a tree created a tree.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, the tree created a tree. We didn't create it. We're just.

[Jacob]

But there are times where we do things to make the tree grow. Like, there are things where we take it and curate it and put it.

[Monet X Change]

In a thing and mill, incubate it, blah, blah, blah.

[Jacob]

Yeah, reap it, sow it.

[Monet X Change]

But we're not creating it, though. We're just. I don't think that's. I don't think that's. I don't think that's categorized as creation. We're not creating a tree.

[Jacob]

Well, what is. What does creation mean? I don't know. I don't really know what I mean. But we do make. But you say making. We are making babies, though.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, we are. We are. We are creating lives. Life. Humans. Humans can create new life. Yes.

[Jacob]

So you think that you have to be part of the. So what constitutes creation then?

[Monet X Change]

I guess, I mean, to do your favorite thing. Should we define the word creation? Let's see what the word creation means for, like, what is the definition of creation? Hold on.

[Jacob]

The act or process of bringing something to existence, bringing it into existence of the universe.

[Monet X Change]

Right. So trees are already existing. So we're not creating them.

[Jacob]

No, I mean, people are. People already exist. We're not creating people. We didn't create the idea of people. So, I mean, by this point, there have been 60 billion, 80 billion people on Earth. You didn't create the idea of a person, but you did create a person, though. The person is selfless. So this specific tree was created. Now, did the people create it or did the plant create it? Or was it a combination of the dew.

[Monet X Change]

Whoa, whoa. Have you seen those new, those new things? This new technology so that, you know, so someone who lives in an apartment in New York City who doesn't have a guard, and they can't, like, like, you know, plant and things for gardening. They had these new vertical gardens in your home where you. It's like a vertical thing, and it has light around it and it has these, like, different holes. And you can plant seeds of water. You can grow your own tomatoes, carrot, or like, all types of vegetables and, and fruits in, like, in the confines of, like, your apartment. It's like, it's like a way to start creating and harvesting your own crops and stuff again, which I honestly, it. There we go. Vertical.

[Jacob]

I've seen these. I've seen them online before. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. But they're not just limited to hydroponic. They're not just limited to flowers. They can make fruit and vegetables and stuff like that, which kind of sucks, to be honest.

[Jacob]

I have no desire to grow my own food. You know, honestly, I will just eat the pesticides. Like, I don't care about eating pesticides. I just don't. But I think that also don't care about eating microplastics.

[Monet X Change]

But I think there are minimal ways that it's affecting us that we don't even realize. We don't know. Right. Like, I think that, yes. Like, you know, and bitch. Lord knows, you know, I put worse in my nose, in my mouth. Like, I, I, I understand, but I think there is something about knowing that, like, I'm eating my food a little cleaner. That, that Feels a little bit.

[Jacob]

There's something really funny about a girl who's like, I don't do microplastic, then just rolling your ass off with some booga sugar that someone made.

[Monet X Change]

I do not do Book of Sugar.

[Jacob]

Okay, sure. I've seen you do cocaine. Mountains of it.

[Monet X Change]

I do not do cocaine.

[Jacob]

So you. If.

[Monet X Change]

If I did coke, I would not lie.

[Jacob]

I just don't what you' If I have a video of you doing cocaine, I can post it.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Jacob]

Go to my Twitter, everyone. Go to Jacob. Do the AI thing real quick. Go to my Twitter, everyone. Jacob, is my mic off, bitch?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. Speaking of technology, did you just say.

[Jacob]

Let me mute myself? Click, click. Jacob, make a video of Monet doing cocaine on Open chat GPT. Click, click. Unmute it.

[Monet X Change]

Have you seen. Literally just happened this morning, I woke up. Have you seen this new Jacob? I don't know if you can. It's called, like, over over, over something. Over something. AI, this new shit that China dropped. China dropped, like, yesterday. Have you seen it?

[Jacob]

No. Well, the real question is, have you seen. Ok.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, I don't. Over human.

[Guest]

Can you tell me more about it?

[Monet X Change]

It's this new AI that China just dropped where they can. It is past deepfake. Like, it is not. It is like light years beyond deepfake. How they can take from one ecstatic image of something they can create. It is so realist. Cause, you know, deep fakes, yeah, they're real, but you look at it for a little too long, you're like, ah, there's something as weird. Yeah, but this is the next shit. It's kind of wild. And, like. So this person was like. It was a carousel on Instagram and showing the way, like, it was six different things about, like, the different things it could do. And it's getting crazy out here, y'all. It's getting so hard. The lines of real and artificial are being so blurred. It's kind of. It. It's crazy.

[Jacob]

I don't think anyone's shocked that China is far ahead of us in technology. They are. They have and will almost always be leaps and years ahead of us when it comes to technology. We can't. We cannot compete where we don't compare.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I mean. I mean, the US is 29th in math, so. Were you. Were you good at math in school?

[Jacob]

I was fine. I wasn't terribly bad. I was.

[Guest]

I was totally not omnihuman.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, I think so. It's this new feature they just rolled out onto ByteDance, their version of TikTok.

[Guest]

Yeah, yeah, it's Omni Human. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Omni Human there.

[Jacob]

Can you show us some Omni Human footage, Jacob?

[Monet X Change]

Omni Human, yeah, OMNI Human Version 1. This is. This is the first rollout of it. I'm like, bitch. This version one.

[Jacob]

I mean, I haven't seen it yet, but I don't doubt that. It's probably quite remarkable.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. So let me just define it. Omni Human 1 is an advanced AI framework by ByteDance that generates realistic human videos from a single image and motion signals, such as audio or video.

[Jacob]

So I saw one that. Oh, those. Not videos, Jacob.

[Monet X Change]

It has one.

[Jacob]

This one in the bottom right looks like it might be.

[Monet X Change]

No, it has one of Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift, like, singing perfectly in Japanese. In, like, conversing in Japanese. And like, you can tell it. Like, it's gotta be illegal. Say it again.

[Jacob]

That's got to be illegal.

[Monet X Change]

Is it?

[Jacob]

It's got to be.

[Monet X Change]

I don't think so. It's AI.

[Jacob]

You can't take someone's likeness and just do what you want with it. Like, you can't even. You can't even fucking use. Hello. You can't even use the name Nike in a fucking movie without their permission.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, illegal here in America, but it's probably legal over there. They're like, okay, sure, it's illegal. Yeah. I'm not going to do it and make it America.

[Jacob]

Must be copyright laws in China. There must be, but I definitely.

[Monet X Change]

I don't know how international copyright laws and stuff exchange. Right. Like, things that are illegal here. Yeah, it has like, Albert Einstein girl.

[Jacob]

So those are. Wait, are those. Are those. Wait, Jacob, what's happening? You're skipping through everything.

[Monet X Change]

It is a tail. Swift perfectly singing Japanese.

[Jacob]

Can you play the audio, Jacob?

[Guest]

Not in a way that you can hear it with this current setup, but.

[Jacob]

So what you're saying is that video of Taylor Swift didn't exist at all?

[Monet X Change]

No, it's completely fake. Completely. Completely generated fake.

[Jacob]

Interesting. So this is a video. Taylor Swift that never existed was never real.

[Monet X Change]

No.

[Jacob]

I will say, when you look at it, there's. If you look at it with too hard, it's like she looks a little strange, you know, I don't. But without that critical lens, I would never. I would just be like, is the video Taylor Swift? Like, that's because I'm looking for the AI.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. If I didn't tell you just how, you're like, oh, my God, tell us what sings in Japanese. That's crazy.

[Jacob]

Probably. Yeah, probably very much. That.

[Monet X Change]

Yes. That's the Part about technology that's a little scary. And the whole debate is like, do we, like we should people, people like, we should not use AI. All this stuff. I'm like, y'all, AI first of all has been here for a long time and there have been ways that we have been using AI. Siri is AI, all these things. And like so like either we get on with it or it's going to happen without us and leave us behind.

[Jacob]

Well, I think people who are referring to not wanting to use AI are specifically. They're not referring to, you know, Siri and hey, Google and oop, nevermind. They're not talking about those. I think they're talking about like the ones that use these. They use massive amounts of energy to generate photos. I think that's what they're talking about.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but I mean, I mean I, I'm not, I don't know much about algebra, but I would assume that like is Siri and, and Z's, like, and the, the Google Pixel Gemini, like, are those. Oh my God. No, no, no, not you, please.

[Jacob]

I literally, I look at it be like, no, girl, not you. Never mind.

[Monet X Change]

No, Bob, hold on. Stop, stop.

[Jacob]

Don't stop. Play Bobby Dragway. Play Bobby Drag queen.

[Monet X Change]

Hello again. I don't know much about. I'm sure those are using those consume energy as well. So it's like.

[Jacob]

Yeah, but I think, I don't know all the semantics behind it, but I think that the other ones use massive amounts of energy, these chain blocks to create this stuff. But also listen, you people in the world, I want to tell you something. I'm not telling you to go use AI, but I'll tell you this. Do not be bamboozled into believing that you are the reason for pollution and energy overusage. It's not us. This is a lie that we've been told. It is major corporations, people when it comes to litter, private citizens account for like less than 2% of the world's pollution.

[Monet X Change]

Really?

[Jacob]

Maybe Jacob, can you look up the actual number? These major corporations, they are polluting. They are massively polluting the world. And being like, but if you just use plastic paper straws, it'll be fixed. Meanwhile, these major companies are just dumping just gallons is. I don't know what's the word above gallons, but like pools and swimming pools and swimming pools of pollution into the ocean, into rivers, into streams. But they are making plastic waste at insane alarming numbers.

[Monet X Change]

And here. So the billions of people on this planet who was regular civilians, we account for less than 2% of the population.

[Jacob]

I can't remember the number, but it's extremely low number compared to corporations. It's like a, it's like an insanely low number compared to corporations.

[Monet X Change]

What's the number, Jacob?

[Jacob]

I think he's looking it up.

[Guest]

I'm looking at a study right now from the University of Manchester and it says major corporations are 71% of global greenhouse gas emissions. And that that's just greenhouse gas.

[Jacob]

So they're like, oh, you carpool. If you all carpool, we'll fix it. Meanwhile, these major corporations are kept almost, Almost a quarter of the pollution, you mean?

[Monet X Change]

But they're telling us three quarters.

[Jacob]

Three quarters, yeah, sorry, three quarters of the poll. But they're telling US if we 100.

[Guest]

Companies are responsible for 71% of global gas house emissions.

[Monet X Change]

Wow.

[Jacob]

But they're telling us if we just carpool it'll be fixed, right? Girl, no, Girl, no, it's not us. It has never been us. This is hello class solidarity.

[Monet X Change]

But it's. But we will never. Can I tell you the hope I have that we will ever beat these corporations? When I tell you the margin of hope I have is next to nothing. These corporations will never. They have no incentive. They have no incentive. Besides companies like Benninger, who is not even a massive corporation, I mean they're a big company. They're not massive by any means.

[Jacob]

They're not Walmart. They're not, they're not.

[Monet X Change]

The amount of companies like Ben and Jerry's that are good natured and really have good intent for our planet. I wanna find out the stats on that. I would reckon probably like fucking less than fucking 1% of companies that are compared to these behemoths that don't care and will never care. Cuz they have no incentive to care about our planet. They have no incentive to be good people financially to their employees. They don't care. There's no way to fix it. They don't fucking care.

[Jacob]

There's some. I was thinking to myself, like, I really want to boycott Walmart, but I want to actually go down there and be outside and be like, don't go in here, do not go in here. Like I want to get a group of us outside. I feel like we can station outside of several Walmarts and be like every, like for like, for like as long as it takes. Be like, don't go in here. We're not shopping in here. Do not. And then I also think about this. I have a friend who's like an extreme couponer. Like an insane extreme. Like, they coupon like crazy. I go to their apartment, they'd be like 90 boxes here, they'd be like a penny each. Like crazy. Y'all coupon girls. You know how it is. And I was like, if we were able to do this and then somehow shift our shopping to that, instead of going to these corporations or if you go to corporations, you're bleeding them. You're bleeding them through their own paperwork to get the cheapest version of whatever it is to bring them to their knees economically and also stand outside and protest them adamantly. Or even if we all. Even if everyone goes for the entire month of February and just buys. Spends crazy money at Walmart and then in March, take it all back, drop it all back off. Because Walmart has a. It has an insane return policy. Imagine if we all spent 300 bucks at Walmart in a month, and then the next month we taught, we brought all of it back, returned every single thing we ordered. Like, how would that affect their economy?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, there was a plan like that I saw out, especially with the whole. When the whole Target news broke and how they were ending DEI initiatives even though it wasn't mandated by the government. They're a private company. They can do whatever they want. And how they were, like, said they were going to carry less products by black creators for February for Black History Month, even though they did all that. So some of people outline plans like that. But I just think that the convenience of stores like that is what gets people. And, you know, I do admit I come from a place of privilege. And, you know, I don't have four kids I'm worrying about, so I don't have to worry about, oh, going to the closest supermarket because I can't afford this childcare. You know, I know I have a lot of privilege in that, so I. It's easier for me to say, okay, I'll just drive the 10 extra minutes to go this way and do this. I get all that. But I think for some people who don't, it's the most convenient thing. They don't have time to go down to the thing. Like, convenience is a big part of it. And people just choose that over, you know, working strategically in a way that can really affect these companies.

[Jacob]

I hear you, but I think that the way that, that effective boycotting works is you don't just go like, cold turkey, don't go to Target. It's like we, you, you, you, you target them, right? So you're like, for these three months, no Target, you can still Go to Walmart. No Target for these three months and then this next two months, we're gonna do Walmart. After that we're gonna do Coca Cola. After that we're gonna do Beat by. Boop boop beepdee, boop boop boop. So their numbers are doing this, doing this, doing this. I mean, the busboy Cost lasted 19 months.

[Monet X Change]

I was gonna say that. And do you know, it was only 10% of black people did it.

[Jacob]

And it was very effective. Imagine if 20% would have done it. It could have gotten done in half the time.

[Monet X Change]

It was very effective. But I was listening to the podcast with Angeli, the two lawyers and the. And only, only 10% of black people participated in the Montgomery bus boycott. Only 10%, which is probably why it lasts so long.

[Jacob]

But it was effective.

[Monet X Change]

It was what, a year, right? A year.

[Jacob]

19 months.

[Monet X Change]

19. It's a year, year and a half.

[Jacob]

So what I'm saying is if we were to able to. I mean, I don't go to Target. I don't go to Walmart very often. I go to Target more than I go to Walmart. I haven't been since I've been back. But there's also just not a Walmart near me. But there's a Walmart near my office, near my studio. Right. But I don't have to go to the fucking Walmart. You know what I mean? And, but I would rather go down there and tell people not to go in. But I want a group of us being like, do not go in here. Like, do not shop at Walmart. Like, if you care about this, this and that, do not shop at this Walmart. Like, they, like, you can't. The only reason they care about Elon Musk, these people, is they're giving them money. They don't care about Elon Musk. They don't care. They don't care. They care about money. They don't care. They're not like, I just love Elon Musk. Musk. They probably don't. They probably don't even love white supremacy. They just love money.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Jacob]

You know, and when it was profitable to uplift black shit, they love black people. And when it wasn't, they stopped. They only love money.

[Monet X Change]

So fucked. So fucked.

[Jacob]

So, I mean, I'm not, I'm not that kind of community leader. I'm not a community leader at all. I'm just a loudmouth. But I've seen a lot of stuff online and I, I want to. I want to be able to go down to these Walmarts and be like, I want to get a, I would love to be a part of a group or get a group together that's like, would dedicate, like we, you have to schedule it so that you can have like at least 10 to 20 people every single day outside this Walmart during all working hours being like, do not shop in here. Do not shop in here. This is why you should not shop in here. And then also people dedicating themselves to not shopping there. And, and if there's, I think there's enough of us nationwide to hit up every Walmart, I really do in theory.

[Monet X Change]

But I mean, I've never been a big Walmart shopper, but I know Walmart, Walmart, especially in the south, you know what I mean? Think about like Jack and part of Georgia and stuff like that, where my.

[Jacob]

Hometown has two Walmarts in it, right?

[Monet X Change]

And it's probably like the biggest super supermarket, super center place you have for miles, right?

[Jacob]

Yeah, there actually might be three by now. Yeah, go ahead.

[Monet X Change]

So like they've made it, they made it such, such a commodity that you like, it's kind of hard, like it's really hard not to shop at these places. And they, and that's, and that's, and that's by design. So you, so you become dependent and reliant on your neighborhood Walmart. You're like, well, if, well, if I don't get my chicken from there, they don't have butcher shops. They don't have these things that you need. If I don't get my meat from Walmart, where the fuck am I gonna get it?

[Jacob]

To be fair, there are still butcher shops.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, not as, let me speak for Brooklyn down my street on Avenue D. We used to have, growing up, there were four different butcher shops on Avenue D. Now all are gone because they opened up a Target on the junction. So everyone just goes to Target Target, which causes the local butcher shops and Canisterias and all those things to close down. Because now there's a Walmart. I mean there's a Target that carries all that for cheaper.

[Jacob]

Yeah, it's dicey.

[Monet X Change]

They have a Monopoly girl monopolies, which is another thing. Like fuck that game. Fuck Monopoly. The fact that monopolies are Monopoly was.

[Jacob]

Meant to expose how evil it was.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, did it did expose our evil? It was or taught people like, oh, this is what I need to do to be successful.

[Jacob]

When you point with your cousin and she, and she won your property, did you feel good about her?

[Monet X Change]

No. But then I was like, oh, then Then. But I was like, oh, I need to do that to her so I can win it. Life.

[Jacob]

But then. But how did that work? Did it work out for you? Or did she just crush you because she. Because at some point, she's already far ahead of you. That's the thing about. Monopoly will teach you. There's a point where you are so far behind, you cannot catch up. You cannot catch up.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Jacob]

Why do y'all think folks get so mad during Monopoly? Monopoly will get people fired up. Monopoly and Uno. People get crazy during these games.

[Monet X Change]

And what is. And what is? What is? What is? What is Uno supposed to be teaching us?

[Jacob]

No, no takebacks. No, no, no reverses.

[Monet X Change]

And I say Uno is about anarchy. Uno. Uno teaches you an anarchy. Uno is like, I. You have to do whatever you can. You got to be fascinated to. To. To. To. To set up. Up.

[Jacob]

Don't you have, like, a weird name for Uno? It's like you call, like, the black version Uno.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, we call it Porch.

[Jacob]

It's just. I feel like. I thought we just call it Udo. It's just Udo.

[Monet X Change]

Okay? I don't tell. I don't tell you what your little friends down in. Down in La Grange.

[Jacob]

In.

[Monet X Change]

In.

[Jacob]

Yes, you do. You. You constantly do that. Actually, it's like your favorite thing to do. That must be a South thing. That must. It's like. It's like, literally, you get. You get hard. Try to say what we do in.

[Monet X Change]

The south, but I'm not telling you what to call it, okay? You get.

[Jacob]

You get bricked up.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. You have Andy saying bricks up now. I literally said to him, did I say bricks up? To me?

[Jacob]

You're full bricked, bro.

[Monet X Change]

So, yeah, it's called Porridge. And what we do is like, you have.

[Jacob]

You. I didn't say you can't call it. I'm just saying in the south, we just call it. It's just. It's still Uno.

[Monet X Change]

And the game of the rules, it's. It's Uno rules, except you add a draw two for everything. Like, if you hesitate, if you ask whose turn is it? If you play the wrong card, you are drawing two as a penalty. So you can pay the fuck attention. And Bob don't like it because Bob don't pay attention. He's always doing this so he misses a lot of things.

[Jacob]

I've never said I don't like it. I've never said I don't like it. Also, I'm not the one getting hit with pills. I pay attention. I'm not like, ooh, I'm not, I'm not a space case. I'm not like, la, la, la. Ooh, my phone. Is that a shiny. Who are you describing?

[Monet X Change]

You, squirrel.

[Jacob]

Who are you describing?

[Monet X Change]

You.

[Jacob]

You must talk about one of your other little friends. Maybe Kamek could be like that.

[Monet X Change]

Kamika's not like that.

[Guest]

I have a question, you guys.

[Monet X Change]

Jacob.

[Guest]

What is the difference between a porch, a deck, and a patio?

[Monet X Change]

Okay.

[Jacob]

And a balcony.

[Monet X Change]

Okay. A porch is in the front. You do not have a porch in the back of your back of your house.

[Jacob]

Now, I want to do my version in a deck. A deck is on the back of your house, but typically speaking, a deck is on a split level thing. So a deck would be up. So not always, but I feel like this is like a back porch. A deck is like a deck, like, juts out into the yard. Kind of like a back porch could be, like, level with the house. But a deck, I think, has to, like, jut out into the backyard a little bit.

[Monet X Change]

I, I, I used to think so too, until, you know, around my pool, I have that wood decking. They call it a deck, but I would agree with it.

[Jacob]

Jut out.

[Monet X Change]

No, it's just a decking around my pool. But I would not call the deck. That's what people, that's what the contractor and the designer and stuff was saying. So I was like, I guess that's a deck. But I agree. Before, I was the same mindset of you. But it's definitely in the back. You don't have a. I guess you can have a deck in the front. Front.

[Jacob]

And I, I guess a patio would be in a, in an apartment. No, like, I feel like a patio is, like, smaller. I have a patio.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, you have a patio. But I think a patio kit. No, it's not limited to an apartment. I think I, I think an I think on a patio is an enclosed and an enclosed space attached to your home. But it doesn't have to be an apartment.

[Jacob]

You can't get off a patio. There's only one way there. You can only get into the house and like, but you can't go off the patio and go, and go into the world. The patio. You go to the patio, then you turn right back around. You go back into the home. I would say that.

[Monet X Change]

So what's the difference between a patio and a balcony?

[Jacob]

I feel like balconies are really high.

[Monet X Change]

The height makes the difference.

[Jacob]

Like, it's at least the second floor. You can't have a balcony on the first floor. There's no. First floor balconies are not a thing.

[Monet X Change]

You must. Yes, yes. You must have been high when you thought about that shit. No.

[Jacob]

Well, they tell us there was a patio and a balcony, I think.

[Monet X Change]

I think. I think a balcony is space like you think of, like Juliet is in a balcony, because it is a thing, but there's not a lot of space. I think the space denotes a balcony.

[Jacob]

Balconies are smaller than patios.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, a balcony is definitely smaller than. Well, that's not true. In St. Lucia, we had a big balcony off my grandmother's house, but we.

[Jacob]

Or did you have a balcony?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, well, it definitely wasn't a patio.

[Jacob]

Shakar Monet had a giant balcony off of one of her family's palatial estates.

[Guest]

How big was it?

[Monet X Change]

Who shocked we talking.

[Jacob]

Did you put a car on it?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, not with the width, but the length. You could put several cars.

[Jacob]

Several.

[Monet X Change]

So my grandmother had a house. She had a little.

[Jacob]

Oh, they just looked at me and said, broky.

[Monet X Change]

Where it was. It was like a first level. It was a first level thing where she had. She had tenants. A second level thing where she had tenants, and she lived on the third floor.

[Jacob]

Tenants.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. Shut the fuck up. You are so annoying. Put your hands down. Off of your face, y'all.

[Jacob]

Landlord.

[Monet X Change]

Y'all. We were. We were at VAL and I did the Reach LA Gala, and I had this. I had this thumb ring that I used to. That I used to wear on my. On my. Using my little thumb ring, but it got. Which is the biggest finger on my hand, and it got too big, so I couldn't wear it for the thing. And Bob was like, I want to try when I tell y'all, Bob put that ring on his middle finger. Edit. When.com come off, the ring was so it was locked on his finger. If I try to shake it off, that ring was like, I ain't going nowhere.

[Jacob]

What do you have. What do you have into your wrist?

[Guest]

She's trying to change the subject about how our family were landlords.

[Jacob]

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. You don't want us to protest because you know we're going to be protesting your family and then.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, that's what I'm saying. So a balcony on the third floor. It wrapped around. It wrapped around. Wrap the fucking throne.

[Jacob]

This is crazy.

[Monet X Change]

I want to fight you. You're so annoying.

[Jacob]

Don't fight me, honey. You're fighting the poor. That's who you fight. Anyway, Jacob, can you please look up the definition so we can finish this episode?

[Guest]

Yeah, so generally it's about where they are and then structural support. So balconies are on upper floors, but they also are supported by the building. Like, they come out.

[Jacob]

I said height when they laughed at me.

[Guest]

And then patios generally are on the ground, and they're built out of the ground, and they're supported by beams coming out of the ground.

[Jacob]

So we don't have a patio. We actually have a balcony.

[Guest]

Yes, we have a balcony.

[Jacob]

Okay. A deck.

[Guest]

Oh, a deck is specifically in the backyard, usually uncovered. And a porch is only in the front yard. And a porch is usually.

[Monet X Change]

We nailed porch and we nail deck.

[Jacob]

And I also held balcony. When I said height, and you laughed.

[Monet X Change]

At me, but you didn't do the other things. You didn't say.

[Jacob]

I was like, it's height. It has to be height.

[Monet X Change]

You're like, height. What was the other thing that Jacob said? Y'all, this is very. Bob.

[Jacob]

Bob will hear.

[Monet X Change]

Bob will hear one thing for his thing.

[Jacob]

What did you give her? Balcony. What did you give her? Balcony?

[Monet X Change]

It's height.

[Guest]

And specifically where it's built out of. If it's built out of the actual building or were built out of the ground.

[Jacob]

Thank you.

[Monet X Change]

I said that. This is like you and fucking the word lugubrious. On the most recent episode, you used one word of the definition and then ignored everything else. People were like, did Bob read the definition?

[Jacob]

Let's do a whole clip of you misusing words. It'll be an episode. Supercut, bitch. On that note, thank you for coming on my show.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, before we leave, do you want to tell everyone where you got the little outfit do you have on?

[Jacob]

No, I have a sandwich to eat.

[Monet X Change]

Goodbye.
