Episode Overview

In this lively and endlessly entertaining episode, Bob the Drag Queen and Monét X Change—both RuPaul’s Drag Race royalty—delve into the topic of traveling. The duo swaps stories about their adventures (and misadventures) on tours, vacations, and cruises, reveals their wildly different approaches to sightseeing, explores body goals on the road, and, as always, gets distracted by hilarious tangents about TV, medical dramas, and the surprising expectations of drag comedy club cuisine. The episode is pure chemistry—thoughtful, side-splitting, and full of big-hearted, unscripted moments.

[A]

Okay, So I was watching. The new season of the View has started.

[B]

How long is their break?

[A]

They do like the after 4th of July, I think. Like end of August and end of July through and right through.

[B]

Now you ever gonna see the View and lie?

[A]

Yeah, I've seen it like several times.

[B]

Oh, that's right. You're on the back. You forget you're on the View.

[A]

Yeah, but so I've only seen it.

[B]

I mean, I'VE saw it once. I was on it once, but I. I've never. I've never been in the audience. Watch the View.

[A]

Yeah. Before, like, when I was just living in New York, I used to go see the View sometimes. I love the crowd. Work lady. Oh, she's great. She don't want to like that. Yeah, she got.

[B]

Yeah. What's her name? Oh, my God. I want to get her. I want to give her a shout out. She was really lovely and she got my uncle into the View. Her name is Regina. Regina de Chico Dicicco. Yeah. Yeah, she's great. She's so. And she's really fucking funny.

[A]

Also, the guy that did squad work here in la, Cecil.

[B]

You mean for After Midnight?

[A]

Yes. I've seen him a couple times, though. He did it also for Secret Celebrity Drag Race.

[B]

His preference. Shows are crazy.

[A]

She is doing. She is working.

[B]

No, it's like a full production. Costume changes, lip syncs. He could be a very successful drag queen.

[A]

Yeah, he's great. He's very funny.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Cecil, right?

[B]

I can't remember, but shout out to him.

[A]

Yeah, I love him. He's very good. You think he could warm up a crowd? Aight, for sure. I mean, girl, I did it fucking seven nights a week.

[B]

But that was your own cry. I mean, warming up for someone else, though, it's not the same as opening up for someone. Like, warming up feels like, because it's like also they're standing off the side laughing the loudest at all the jokes. Like, hahaha. Encourage. As soon as someone. Whoa, whoa. They have to be. They have to have these, like, their attention is like on 10 and like.

[A]

Is it? Yeah, I mean, I think I could.

[B]

I think you look nice if these were stoned. And I don't really know stone.

[A]

No, no, no, no, no, no. Stole these jeans.

[B]

Yeah. Like Simone's jeans.

[A]

No, no, no, no. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I would. A whole pair of stone jeans. Don't speak to me. I have a lot of stone things and stoning. A whole pair of jeans.

[B]

Do you want to address what you were mentioning before about how everyone thinks you're always stoned and you're actually not stoned?

[A]

Yes. People always think I'm high and I'm generally not high that often. Like, I don't see.

[B]

No.

[A]

Okay, okay. I just said the other day, Jay was. He was editing one of the episodes and we were talking about something and he was like, were you high? I was like, no. I can count maybe on one hand in the entire Tenure of a podcast. You know, I said, I've been high doing episodes of podcasts.

[B]

One hand.

[A]

Yes. That one time when I was in Joshua street and I was. Was on shrooms. That was one time.

[B]

Would you be open to drug testing?

[A]

Yeah, I'm sure you can probably find one on TikTok shop.

[B]

A drug test. Probably. But would I be able to trust it? You know what I don't like on TikTok? You know what I don't like? Ear candling.

[A]

What?

[B]

Ear candling.

[A]

The is air conditioning.

[B]

You put.

[A]

Oh, I've seen this.

[B]

A tube in your ear, and then you burn it, and then apparently it's pulling stuff out of your ear. It's baloney malarkey. Yeah, It's a scam.

[A]

Have you done a neti pot? Stingers do that a lot.

[B]

I try to neti pot and I'm drowning. I'm waterboarding myself.

[A]

I don't like it. I don't like the sensation of it.

[B]

I can't get it to come out the other nose.

[A]

The other nostril. Yeah. I've never done it.

[B]

I put it when it goes straight in my brain.

[A]

The boar worms.

[B]

I don't know what the boar worms are. Not the boar worms, but I don't. I don't know what that is. I just know that Katya and Maddie.

[A]

Were, like, going, there's a movie they're watching. It was a movie.

[C]

It's like an old movie from the 70s. Or this. Like, it's an older, like, vintage movie. And the lead woman, it's like, kind of camp. Like she's strapped up to, like, a table or something in the villain is like, I'm gonna torture you. I'm gonna bring out the boar worms.

[B]

And she's like, oh, no, not the boar worms.

[C]

And it' camp. And T.S. madison thought it was funny.

[A]

And these are the same boardrooms that RFK has in his brain.

No.

[B]

You don't like old movies?

[A]

He's working for a really long time.

[B]

Are you a big fan of Samuel L. Jackson?

[A]

I'm not. Not a fan. You know what I mean? Like, I, I, When I see movies, I'm always like, I know he's going to do a good job in the role. Like, I can't think of a role I've seen Samuel L. Jackson in. And I was like, oh, that was bad.

[B]

I kind of have this. I know he has never said this, but I have this vision of Samuel Jackson doing a movie and, like, where he's like a crime fighter or some sort of a superhero in it in Hawaii. And then he just goes, mahalo. And then like, shoots someone off a volcano or kick someone into a volcano. Mahalo, motherfucker.

[A]

Do you know what I'm talking about the other day? I didn't realize. You remember the movie Deep Blue Sea with LL Cool J?

[B]

Deep Blue Sea, yes.

[A]

They're in this boat.

[B]

Unfamiliar.

[A]

Samuel Jackson is in that, I think. Okay, but the whole thing. But do you know who else is in it? I didn't realize. L.L. coudre. No, not him. Michael Rappaport.

[B]

Your bestie girl.

[A]

Please.

[B]

You said you were, baby.

[A]

I didn't say that. Anyway, I. Oh, you weren't supposed to say that. I did not realize that Michael Rappaport was in that. Do you remember this movie?

[B]

Vaguely. Vaguely. I remember the movie In Too Deep that LL Cool J was in, which is similar to Deep Blue Sea.

[A]

Is it in a boat? No, it's not in this. How is it similar?

[B]

Deep Blue Sea. In Too Deep. I just get the name.

[A]

That's for the plot. Got it.

[B]

But I remember But I don't think I saw. I think I saw Deep Blue Sea like once. But I remember really loving the movie In Too Deep.

[A]

I never say in Too Deep.

[B]

Into Deep. He is one of them. We go back to In Too Deep. The cast, either him or Omar Epps is undercover officer. I can't remember which one's the undercover officer, but one of them is in. He's in Too Deep. He. Yeah, it's Omar Epps. Omar Epps plays a police officer who is infiltrated a gang as a. As a undercover cop. But he is so far into the gang now that it's like. Yeah, so they're saying he's in too deep.

[A]

Omar Epps is another actor famous to black people only. Like, Jacob, do you know Omar Epps is.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Do you? Do not.

[C]

He's from Into Deep.

[A]

Kane, do you know who Omar Epps is? Okay.

[B]

I mean, yeah. So I was really. I was really into Into Deep as a kid. I. That movie, and I was really obsessed with. It's not a similar plot, but it's kind of similar. Undercover Cop Goes Into Deep was a Face Off.

[A]

I never seen Face off either.

[B]

Face off is a really. It's John Travolta. No, John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. And they swap faces. So Castor Troy.

[A]

You told me this before on the podcast.

[B]

Yeah. Caster Troy is the bad guy. And then John. I can't remember who puts on whose face. It's so confusing. I think that.

[C]

I think John Travolta is the FBI agent.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And he puts on. And he puts on Nick Cage's face, and then he operates as Nick Cage, but then Nick Cage wakes up and puts on John Travolta's face. And now the bad guy is the copy.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And the good guy is the bad guy.

[A]

Do you see the lines? Are we seeing the surgery scars?

[B]

No, you don't.

[A]

So how. Anyway, I'll watch it. I'll watch it.

In Florida, Yeah. They stopped giving kids vitamin K because, you know, babies are not born with vitamin K. You need vitamin K. Helps, like blood, clotting, whatever. So it is customary to. You give infants vitamin K?

[B]

No more.

[A]

To help them with their blood clotting so they can blood clot.

[B]

Not anymore.

[A]

Now there's now current reports of kids with brain bleeds because their blood is not clotting.

[B]

Well, measles. There's been measles outbreaks. They. They just. Okay, I want to be clear. I am not a doctor. Do not take medical advice from me. We got that out of the way. Um, vaccines seem really important. My grandmother had polio, and she was. Her legs were, like, all messed up from her bout with polio as a child. My grandmother died at 54 in 1994. Do the math. I think she was born in the 40s, right? Yeah. So I think she was born in 1940, actually. So obviously, she really needed a vaccine. Polio would have been great to have. I am fully vaccinated.

[A]

I am, too.

[B]

Everybody.

[A]

I try to go to the. It's only because it's the closest thing next to me, and I don't know, like, I could do more research, whatever. It's literally on the block. I get my vaccine from Target. I know, I know, I know. But it's just there. I don't pay. They're free, so I'm not giving them any. I'm not patronizing.

[B]

There's a Walgreens. They get money.

[A]

They get money.

[B]

Of course it's free for you. It's paid for. Vaccines aren't free.

[A]

Well, you know, that's another thing to stop. In New York State, people were trying to get vaccines, like, from the Walgreens and the CVS's, and they're saying, no.

[B]

I get my vaccines at Walgreens.

[A]

Where? Walgreens.

[B]

I'm in Hollywood. Just went to the Walgreens. Like, give me the. Give me the jab. I got it, honey.

[A]

You know, I'm getting my vaccine. The only thing you get sick, though. And I have, like, a lot of big week. I'm like, I don't want to take them and get sick the next couple of days.

[B]

I didn't get sick enough that I was like, Jacob was out of commission.

[A]

See, some. Some people get, like, sick.

[C]

I mean, but that was. That was for Monkeypox. That was different.

[A]

Oh, did you. Wait, you got. You got Covid and flu and Hepatitis?

[B]

Yeah. I didn't get those things I got vaccines for.

[A]

Thank you, Bob.

[B]

So, no, I did not get hepatitis. The flu and Covid all in the same week. I just want to be clear to the monation. Bobbleheads would know.

[A]

They wouldn't know anyway. And you didn't feel any symptoms? Anything like a little fever? Nothing.

[B]

A little bit. But I wasn't, like, not. I. Like, I don't even get vaccine.

[A]

They'd be, like, done. Yeah.

[B]

But I. I think what it is, is I'm not super in tune with my body, so when I'm feeling sick or hurt or something, I can kind of just keep operating. I can do stuff under a lot of pain. I've done a lot of things under a lot of pain, through a lot of sickness, and just keep fu.

[A]

Got pain.

[B]

If we all got pain. Exactly. Maybe when you're. When you're sick and hurt, can you keep going?

[A]

Yeah, I typically do. Which I don't think is a. It's not a bad thing. I'm like. When I'm sick and whatever. Like, I was still persevering, do stuff because I'm like, I got to keep going. Which I think is not the most healthy thing. Like, if you're sick, you should be able to sit your ass on and be like, girl, get better and go back to work. As opposed to being like, I just. I just gotta.

[B]

Well, for me, I just don't feel that sick. Or when I'm in pain, I. Okay. With the exception of tooth pain. Depending on the tooth pain, I can operate on some tooth pain. And with a stomachache, I can't. Like, I can't. If I have a stomachache, I can't. You can't even stand up sometime?

[A]

Yeah. Have you ever taken. Have you ever taken off for a gig for being sick?

[B]

Have I ever taken off from a gig? I have been asked to leave set because I had Covid the first time.

[A]

You're supposed to do Zway.

[B]

Yeah. I was asked to leave set because I had Covid. And then I was. I was. I was pretty. If y' all want to see me whacked out of my brain, go back and watch First. First Impressions with me and Kandy Muse. I was fucked up.

[A]

I was like, so you left Zway and did the thing with Kandy Muse?

[B]

I left Z Way and I did a episode of first and First Impressions from my hotel room with Kandi Muse.

[A]

Yeah. I've never been. I've never taken off for a gig for being sick. I've gone to gigs and I wasn't feeling well, and Pat and I would go back to the thing and I'm just sitting there like, but bitch, get on stage.

[B]

I lost my voice and had to call out of a gig from losing my voice. Would that count?

[A]

Yeah, because I'm being sick.

[B]

Yeah. So. But I was still functional. But I was like, I don't have a voice and like, I literally can't speak. So that, that's probably the. That was when I was in, in Berkeley. So that would probably be the furthest I've gone with like, actually, like, losing my voice and not being able to do a gig. But otherwise I. And it's probably not good. You probably should not go to work sick. You should not. In fact, not probably. You should not go to work sick.

[A]

You should not. But I think, I mean, I think we're in a privileged position where, well, like, if we took off the gig, like, it'll be fine, whatever. But I think a lot of people still go to work is like, bitch, if I don't go to do this eight hour shift, my, my check is going to be 100 and 100 bucks less. And I just can't afford that. So big people. A lot of people work sick because you have to. A lot of people just have to, like, you cannot afford to skimp out on that money. Like, I'm not missing on that check. I can't.

[B]

But then other people might end up not being able to come to work because they're sick.

[A]

I know.

[B]

So you got to the circle, do the cost benefit analysis.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But really, it's really about your own costs and then someone else'.

[A]

Detriment. Yeah. You know what I mean?

[B]

So I guess the question is, like, how do you feel knowing that you may have gotten someone sick?

[A]

Right.

[B]

You ever got someone sick?

[A]

I, I, When I used to work at the Yale Club, I used to go to work sick all the time.

[B]

Coughing in their faces.

[A]

Coughing. And this is again, here's your.

[B]

Here's your key. That's crazy.

[A]

I had to go to work. I need. I had to go to work.

[B]

I've done shows where, like, the whole cast was sick.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah. Work the world. We were all sick.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Well, that happens on tour. That happens a lot because you all get Covid on. No, we did not get Covid. Well, we were, we were traveling around Asia and it was following. It was like following us around Asia.

[B]

And it had nothing to do with it. Everywhere y' all went, there was a Covid outbreak right after y'.

[A]

All literally as it was happening. It was going down in Asia.

[B]

I'm just asking. I just want to be clear. So y' all would leave a place, then that place would have a Covid outbreak, and you don't have any.

[A]

Well, I will say no one on our team had symptoms or was testing pause because we were testing no one else. I didn't get it tested by Covid, but I did. I think I had it. I had it early, though. I had it, like, in, like, May or April.

[B]

What were your symptoms?

[A]

I was lethargic. I had lost taste.

[B]

Did it ever come back?

[A]

Oh, God. I knew it was coming so easy.

[B]

I did it.

[A]

I was so.

[B]

You can just say yes.

[A]

Transparent.

[B]

You can say yes.

[A]

So transparent.

[B]

You can say yes.

[A]

And I lost taste. I was. I had fever, body was lethargic. And it happened for, like, a good, like, week and a half, and then I got better. This is also when we were. I say this all the time. Those first two months of COVID being home was great. I love that we were just home, playing video games, waking up like it was. It was as an adult. I don't think we will unless we get another fucking pandemic, but we'll never experience that again. Like, the entire world having to pause, and you're not feeling like you're missing out on work or you're not doing a thing. Like, you were all forced to take that pause. I enjoyed that, like, the first time.

[B]

Yeah. Take a break if you want.

[A]

No, but I can't, because I feel like there's things I had to do, and I have life going on, and I have goals and things I really. Yes, I can. I don't want to, and I don't feel like I can. I'm sure I can.

[B]

I think you should take a break.

[A]

And when it breaks. I go on vacations a lot. I take, like, at least. Well, I mean, the cruises. Yes, the cruises count. Because I've been lucky enough. Either I like work at the end of it or the beginning of it. So I typically have the entire thing to be. When I went to the Mediterranean. Mediterranean. I just worked for the first two days, and the rest was just off. Girl, I had eight days of going to all these amazing and beautiful and fierce countries.

[B]

I've done the cruise. It's a fun cruise.

[A]

You've done the Mediterranean one? Yeah.

[B]

Where you go through the Greek isles and you go through Eurasia.

[A]

Where did you. Where did you.

[B]

It was the exact same one.

[A]

Athens, Santorini, Istanbul. Cairo, Egypt.

[B]

Did you see the Pyramids it did not go to Cairo, Egypt.

[A]

Oh, you went to Cairo? We went to Alexandria. You take a bus tour into Cairo?

[B]

I don't really, I don't be. I don't get off the boat.

[A]

To get honest. The only reason I got off the boat so much because Andy was here. Like I would stay on the boat.

[B]

Every day, but I don't love tourism as a hobby for myself.

[A]

But you don't feel the. You don't want to see the world? You don't want to see the pyramids?

[B]

Not really, no.

[A]

Got it. Like, you know, you're not curious?

[B]

Not enough to get off the boat and go. Not enough to take us five hour journey into the desert.

[A]

It's not five hours, it's two and a half.

[B]

Not enough to take a two and a half hour journey? Not enough, no.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

I mean, there's stuff I want to see, but I'm kind of like, like.

[A]

What, what do you want to see?

[B]

A lot of times I see the person, like, yeah, that's how they look. I like to go see shows, I like to go see productions, I like to go see. I like to meet people.

[A]

But.

[B]

But I don't really get a big kick out of seeing buildings and seeing structures even when they're really old. I don't really get a lot of joy out of that. I don't really like seeing nature. I don't want to see wild animals, I don't want to get into the water, I don't want to come close. I don't want to have an encounter with a dolphin. I don't want to pet a stingray, but I like to see. I would say I'm more of a fan of. I'm not a fan of like nature and old structures as much as I'm a fan of like people and cultures. So what I like to do is whenever, if I'm out and about on a tour or something, if a person invites me to their home, that feels.

[A]

More exciting than going to see. Okay, let's say you, you, you, you never been to Paris before. Obviously you have. You never been to Paris before. You go to Paris for the first time and you're there for work, do you go see the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre or the Mona Lisa or you just stay in your hotel room?

[B]

If I had a choice between first time ever Paris. If I had a choice between going to the Eiffel Tower and going to a person's home and having a meal, I would choose the person's home. I remember this Eiffel Tower. And I was like, yeah, that's her. I don't think I would go to the Louvre. It doesn't seem going to the Louvre feels like, what? I don't know, because I've never gone to the Louv.

[A]

The Louvre is a museum, right? Yeah.

[B]

That's where the Mona Lisa is. That's where Beyonce filmed. Ape shit. I would feel like. It feels like it would be like seeing the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center. Like you just pushed through it. Like, you don't actually get to go, like, wow, the tree. It's like you're all going through. You know how. You ever seen the Rockefeller Tree? So basically, you go up to the center and then you get into the part where the point where you see the tree and the crowd just kind of keeps moving. You just kind of all navigate past the thing. Unless you're going in. Then you go in. You can get trapped in there. Not trapped, but, like, it takes a long time to get out. Unless you just want to see it. And I feel like seeing the Mona Lisa might feel like that. Like everyone's just kind of like navigating past it, and there's so many people behind you who need to see it that you need to, you know, scoot along. And I'm like, I don't know if I want to take that trip to see that. And also, apparently, it's really small.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, every time I. Every time I go into a city, like the first time I went to London for the first time, you know, all those years ago, I went to go see Patton. I went to go see Buckingham Palace. Went to go see Big Ben, which is under construction for a long time. Did you know this?

[B]

A Big Ben.

[A]

Yes. You're over. Time ago. She had a. Not. I think it went down like three years ago.

[B]

But Big Ben went down.

[C]

No, it had scaffolding around it for.

[B]

A really long time.

[A]

So I see things like that. But just to say, oh, okay, I saw that thing. Then I don't ever think about it again.

[B]

Buckingham Palace. I've seen Big Ben. I've seen Buckingham Palace. And Buckingham palace kind of is like a big bank to me. Like a big. Built like a big government building. I've seen pictures of it. So is it a castle? Technically, I don't think it is. But it's a palace because the royal family lives there. But I wanted a castle. I wanted, like a castle.

[A]

I don't think it's a castle.

[B]

Is it. Is it is Buckingham Palace. Can you look that up? Is Buckingham palace technically a castle? I don't know if it is, but I remember thinking myself, they're like a big ass.

[A]

I thought it was a palace.

[B]

And you can't really. I mean, I don't know if it's considered a castle. I don't know. No, it's not a castle. Yeah. So seeing the palace was cool, I guess, but it kind of looks like a big nondescript building. But I think about the time when, like, a friend invited me to his home and we ate there. And then I think about going to see plays, like. So when I was in Brazil, I saw Wicked. I went to a friend's home for dinner. I went to go see the Christ Redeemer.

[A]

And that's a structure that everyone loves to see.

[B]

Yeah, I do go. Like, I've seen. I've seen the Eiffel Tower. But when I think about what sticks to me the most in my mind, it was going to my friend's home for dinner. And being in a home in Brazil was more exciting than going to see the Christ Redeemer.

[A]

When I went to Brazil, I will say the most fun I had. Dejuan and I went down vacation together. And the most fun I had was going to the parties. Like, we are our lovely friend Lucy. Shout out to Lucy. She took us to the pavelas and we went to these amazing street parties and clubs in Brazil.

[B]

What's a pavela?

[A]

It's a living area, a living quarter of people in. In Brazil. Like how we say the PJ's here.

[B]

Oh, the favelas.

[A]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Did I pronounce it wrong?

[B]

They said pavelas. I think it's favelas. Oh, I thought it was a different thing. Unless we are talking about two different things.

[A]

No, the place where people live.

[B]

We're like where like the poor people live.

[A]

And it's like parties.

[B]

Yeah, the favelas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's where the black folks live.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. And then so to me, I think it's favelas. That was the most fun that I had in Brazil, was going to that and just like having fun that way.

[B]

I will say I actually had fun playing volleyball on the beach.

[A]

Volleyball on the beach.

[B]

That was actually kind of fun.

[A]

Okay, you know, let's take a break. We'll talk about volleyball. Cause I have something I want to talk to you about, actually.

[B]

About volleyball.

[A]

Yeah. Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real. And so is the relief from Ebglis. After an initial dosing phase. About 4 in 10 people taking EVGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin end at the 16 weeks and most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing. A 250mg injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies. EBGLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be Severe eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Epglis. Before starting Epglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection searching for real relief? Ask your doctor about ebglis and visit epgliss.lily.com or call 1-800-lilyrx or 1-800-545-5979.

[B]

I'm Christian McCaffrey, pro running back and Abercrombie is an official fashion partner of the NFL. I'm not kidding when I say NFL by Abercrombie broke the Internet last year.

[A]

And I think this season's lineup is even cooler.

[B]

And so does my wife who keeps stealing all my hoodies.

[A]

Stay fit for the season and Abercrombie's.

[B]

Newest arrivals shop NFL by Abercrombie in the app, online and in store.

[A]

When did making plans get this complicated? It's time to streamline with WhatsApp, the secure messaging app that brings the whole group together. Use polls to settle dinner plans, send event invites and pin messages so no one forgets mom's 60th and never miss a meme or milestone. All protected with end to end encryption. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone. Learn [e-mail] so give me your hand. The other one.

[B]

Oh my God.

[A]

Should we?

[B]

Don't be tugging on me nigga.

[A]

We should join the game as volleyball team here in la.

[B]

I'm gonna take that back.

[A]

Why?

[B]

I don't think I have a time to and I don't think I want to.

[A]

I don't think I have the time either, but what I heard is once you join, if you can make like one game every couple of whatever, it's fine.

[C]

Well, you can also sign up as a substitute and then you can pick and choose the games. You go, let's do it.

[B]

I don't think that volleyball is a sport for me. I don't think that. I think that I would rather join a basketball league or a dodge.

[A]

Can you play basketball?

[B]

I can play basketball, yes. There's footage of me hitting a three pointer in a full three piece suit.

[A]

But can you dribble and do myself?

[B]

I can dribble. I can play basketball.

[A]

Did Ms. Martha teach, you know you want to. Softball.

[B]

Softball. She didn't teach softball. She umpire softball. She umpired, but she did. She did. She was a basketball coach.

[A]

Should we just go play beach volleyball? Just randomly?

[B]

Yeah. See one or two. I'm not trying to sign up for a league.

[A]

Taylor, Alex, Andy and I, we. We went one time.

[B]

Should we play pickleball? Everyone's raging about it.

[A]

Faith Montoya, my friend Faith Montoya, who I did the survival experience was she. She plays hours.

[B]

People who pickleball cannot stop pickleballing. It's just like baby tennis, right?

[A]

Yes. Against like a wall. Is that. No, that's racketball.

[B]

I don't know what pickleball is. I understand it is baby tennis with.

[A]

Two people, but why is it different than tennis?

[B]

I don't know. I do not know what pickleball is. All I know is that I think it's baby tennis. And I think you have to have four people. So two on each side. That's. And I don't even know if I'm right about that.

[A]

Could we. Could we be an iconic pickleball? Do what? We don't even know.

[B]

Maybe.

[A]

Could we be the Venus and Serena?

[B]

The people that I see playing pickleball don't seem super, super athletic.

[C]

So maybe I think the main difference is it's a smaller court. So in tennis you really are running around to like hit the ball back because you have to like sprint across the court. And pickleball, it's a smaller court, so you're traveling less and it's more. It's like tennis, but it's focusing on hitting instead of like running to the ball where it's at.

[B]

Why can't we just play tennis? How are you at tennis?

[A]

I've never played tennis, like beyond around. I've never, like, legitimately played tennis.

[B]

I had a tennis phase.

[A]

When you lived in New York?

[B]

No, like a teenager. We had a tennis court my. In my apartment complex.

[A]

Who would you play with? You and Justin?

[B]

Other kids in the neighborhood. Me and Justin never played Together.

[A]

Were you good?

[B]

Yeah, pretty good. Yeah. Because Venus is. Ran really big at that time, so black folks are really into tennis.

[A]

Okay. This guy took me a different shot. Oh, what is. What does lobbying a ball mean?

[B]

I mean, I'm assuming that lobbying is hitting it really far, and you hit it over your head and you hit it to the far right corner, like the. The corner caddy corner to you. But I'm just basing that off.

[A]

You backhand it and it goes high. It's like. It's like. It's a. Instead of like, you know how you hit it goes this way. A lob is this way. But I was also with people.

[B]

I was also playing tennis with my friend. Like, I was not playing tennis with the coach. I was just. Me and my friends had a tennis racket, and we were like, play tennis? But I wasn't like, what are the. What's the lingo? Although I do know a lot of lingo from basketball.

[C]

What is a tennis bagel?

[B]

Again, I don't know if tennis wingo.

[A]

A bagel.

[B]

I'm assuming that a tennis. The tennis bagel is probably when you hit the ball right inside of their net and they have a hard time getting to it.

[C]

It's when a set ends with six to zero. So the zero in that.

[A]

Yeah. A bagel.

[B]

I don't get why it's a bagel.

[C]

Because zero is a bagel.

[B]

What's the six, though?

[C]

It's a score. So one person gets a six and the other person.

[A]

It's a bagel. Really? I thought a zero. Incent love.

[B]

I don't know. I think love is when you start, it seems like a bagel is specifically 6 to 0. I also don't. I don't. I used to know how the scoring worked. Like, I remember the scoring, but now I can't. Now I can't remember anymore.

[A]

15, 15, 30, 45. And then when you get after 45, you win this, you win that game.

[B]

And I used to know. I used to know a lot of football lingo, but now I don't know any of it anymore. I know what a touchdown is.

[A]

Home run.

[B]

That's not in football. And you kick baseball. You just know there's no home runs in baseball. In football, home run is baseball.

[A]

And you know that. What happens when you kick it through the goal?

[B]

That is called a. That's the field goal. It's called a. A punt. When you punt it through the field goal, just home run. What's a home run?

[C]

What's a blitz?

[B]

A blitz Is like. Oh, I feel like I used to know this because there's a name. It used to be a game called NFL Blitz. But blitz is like when you, when you rush, when you protect the person with the ball and you all. No, you rush in to grab the person with the ball and you get them before they can advance.

[C]

What's the person with the ball's name?

[A]

The quarterback.

[B]

No, this running back.

[C]

A blitz is when you rush the quarterback.

[B]

Oh, rushing the quarterback ate that of. I gave you almost every.

[A]

Okay, I didn't say that. He asked me about a quarterback. Wasn't idea.

[B]

I gave you almost the whole. You came with one word after I. After I covered the whole thing. Give me another one. But I feel like I know more about basketball than I do about football. But there was a time where I knew a lot of football terms because I was really into NFL Blitz, which was like a video game that had basically no rules.

[A]

Have you seen that video of that guy, young something. Young jock or something making fun of Russell Wilson, who is Ciara's husband and he's a quarterback for the New York Giants now, I think. And basically saying that he's whack. And he's a whack man because he's so sweet and kind to her.

[B]

I have not seen this video. That sounds crazy.

[A]

Isn't that crazy? Like the Russell Wilson to him looks like a weak, whack, bad husband because he's so kind, he's so sweet to her kids and his. Their kids. And he looks like, you know, like a gentle, kind person. That's crazy. That's whack.

[B]

I think that. What he. I think he sounds whack.

[A]

Oh, for sure. It's awful.

[B]

And have Russell or Ciara spoken about this?

[A]

No, they're like, we're not. Why? Like, this is literally.

[B]

Do you want to be the kind of person who doesn't engage? Because right now you're not. I'm certainly not either.

[A]

What do you mean?

[B]

Like, if someone says about. You don't say anything. You just. You just always be on. Say it. You always just like ignore.

[A]

No, I respond sometimes since I do.

[B]

But do you want to be the kind of person who just ignores it all?

[A]

Oh, no, I don't. I don't think I have an interest in. In not responding at all. I think that right now I love. I like the level of my. If it's something like I have the time or I feel compelled to say something, I will. But I don't. I'm not like someone like, I Don't ever want to respond to anything. I'm not interested.

[B]

I'm intrigued. When people online are like, oh, but you're allegedly busy. I'm like, it took me three seconds to respond to you. Do y' all think I'm literally working every second of the day? I am busy. But I assure you, this 5 minutes max it took me to respond to you does not equate to me not being busy. Yeah, they love say, but you're. You're this allegedly busy drag queen. But you had time to respond to me. Yes, I did. I am busy.

[A]

And.

[B]

And I also had time to respond to you. It took five minutes out of my day and it brought me a lot.

[A]

Of joy to respond to you.

[B]

Yes, you do.

[A]

You do like responding.

[B]

I do. I do. I will fight. I will fight. I will. I fight less than I used to. To be honest, as I get older, I care less.

[A]

Are you still in your debate phase? Are you still debating a lot?

[B]

I've not done anything. I keep getting banned, so I don't do them anymore. I keep getting banned from TikTok, so I'm like, I don't ban from going live and I feel like enough strikes and I will end up getting, like, literally kicked off the platform. So I just. I just gave it up.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I. I mean, I don't. I don't use Tick Tock as much as you do, but I feel like when I used to go on Tick Tock a lot, I was. You were always live fighting.

[B]

Always is crazy. Always is crazy.

[A]

Well, one time, I'll never forget, one time I woke up, it was like, you were on the east coast and I. I was on. It was like 11 o' clock my time. I was like, is this what a stand play? Is this argue? But it was like you were like arguing someone at like 3 o' clock in the morning.

[B]

I'm like, yeah, that's not all the time.

[A]

Like, I mean, that happened often, is my point.

[B]

There's a period. There are people who are like, like, there are people who, like, live all the time. That's like a big part of her. I think for her, it's part of. It's part of income. Like, you can actually make money on there. And I wasn't making any money on Tick Tock doing that. I. I have not made a lot of money on Tick Tock. I feel like for someone with my amount of followers, I should be making more money than I make.

[C]

Keep on getting banned, so it messes up your monetization.

[B]

I still get a lot of views. I don't know, but I've never looked at TikTok as a. As a. As a means of making money, though. But I haven't been. I mean, I haven't debated on TikTok in a really long time. There's a period time I was really into it, though. Like, I would probably do it like three to four times a week for like, maybe three hours at a time. But that was when I was doing the Madonna tour and I had more downtime than I do now because I was working on just one thing, and now I'm working on, like, obviously, it may not be obvious, but I am working on more than one thing now, so. But I mean, I've never worked on just one thing because I was still doing the podcast. So while doing Madonna, I was still doing two podcasts a week and occasionally a YouTube video, like a cage. I think I released maybe like three, maybe four YouTube videos for the entire time I was working. I did the. The Mistress diss track. I did a debate on Christianity. I did a Get Ready with me backstage at the Madonna tour, and I did a Jojo Siwa video. So I think I did maybe like four videos in the entire time. When is your YouTube era coming back?

[A]

I am a YouTuber. Error. Wait, hold on. I wanna say this, y'. All. We have live dates if you wanna come see the Dolls. You need to come and love on me in person. In real life. I am gonna be in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. You've heard of it?

Say it again.

[B]

Do you eat when you go to the comedy clubs?

[A]

No, I try not to because it's such bad food. Like, I mean, bad as in, like, bad for you. It's all fried. I mean, I would try, so. I try not to, but. But I will say this. Tell me if you agree. Seldom is the food popping.

[B]

I mean, I don't. I don't have any crazy high expectations for food brain.

[A]

Prof. Has good food. Cafe Dose has good food because they have. They pull from. It's a menu from, like, anywhere in the area. They order. Order food from there is good. Brea is good. The Pittsburgh Improv is good food. I put the improvs a lot. Have a good. Have a good menu.

[B]

It's not a comedy club, but the Zebulon has amazing. Zebulon is a performance space here in Los Angeles, Calif. And I order their food, and I was blown away. I was like, oh, they had fish. And I ordered their fish and chips with their seasoned fries. And it was so beautifully presented. It was a. It was delicious. I was like, oh, this is interesting for, like. For this, like, kind of. It's like a kind of a grungy performance space.

[A]

Zebulon. Never heard of it.

[B]

But the food. Where is it a Zebulon? Silver Lake.

[A]

Ish. Okay.

[B]

Ish.

[A]

Joe's publisher. Crazy. Them little artisanal corn dogs.

[B]

Well, you have to eat at Joe's Pub. They're gonna be like, you eat, you nigga. You eating.

[A]

Joe's Pub has amazing food. And even when you work there as an entertainer, it ain't free. You pay for that food for you.

[B]

And you're gonna eat. You're gonna eat. What do you want? I'm good. No, I said, what do you want?

[A]

Yeah, Joe's Pub is good food. Joe's Pub is really good food.

[B]

Joe's Pub is such a. Joe's Pub was one of my first professional gigs I got as a drag queen.

[A]

Oh, really?

[B]

I was, like, supporting for this show called the Shells show. That happened way back then. The Shell show was a show about this, like, I want to say, a therapist who's moonlighting as a cabaret artist. And she. But it's like a character this. This. This lady was built called the Shell Show. And we did it at. At. At Joe's Pub. And I came out and I sang. Stand. Not staying alive is that. You can tell by the way I use my walk. I'm a warmers man. No time to talk. Yeah. And I did this whole. It was me and, like, some other queen, but I think it was someone, like, we were both baby queens. Like, both baby queens.

[A]

I will say, please beat this. Amelia and Jay bleep this fucking.

[B]

Why you gotta be that close to the microphone?

[A]

Oh. Cause I don't see my mouth. The fucking comedy club. Fucking awful food. Awful food.

[B]

Okay. How much are you gonna make them bleep?

[A]

Just the names of the clubs. Okay. Awful.

[B]

But I'm glad you got that off your chest.

[A]

I had to. I was so mad. I was so mad about the food. Like, just not like. I'm like, you selling this thing. Like, they literally just took a bag of chips, putting on a thing, sprinkled some. Sprinkled some. Some cheese out of the crack of someone's ass and put it in the microwave to heat it up to make nachos. I'm like, that's the nachos.

[B]

Well, where'd you think you was, at the Chateau Marmont?

[A]

No, because I've been to comedy clubs that it looks. The presentation and the quality is better than that. The West Palm beach improv. Amazing nachos.

[B]

Miami improv. Ugh.

[A]

Delicious.

[B]

It's like, you eat a lot. You're like, I barely ever eat. You have a review of every place you've ever been.

[A]

Bitch, I've been to, like, fucking 50 comedy clubs. I just.

[B]

You're like, I try not to eat. Anyway, the nachos at so and so.

[A]

Also, Ty or Patty will. Ty and Patty are small people. They eat so much food. Patty eats like he is a fucking truck driver. That is £395.

[B]

He probably has a really high metabolism.

[A]

Yeah, Patty eats a lot. I remember when Patty and I first started working together, we were going somewhere. I won't say the name of the place we went to. Oh, we were going somewhere. And he ordered food from a chicken spot. And Patty ate.

[B]

Oh, that chicken spot. That's why he won't say it.

[A]

And Patty ate two number twos or number ones? The one with just a pickle on it. Two number ones. And when I say two number ones, he had the. Both sandwiches.

[B]

He had both large fries.

[A]

He had one drink.

[B]

I was like, target this place. What else y' all got on y' all over on Team Monet that y' all be supporting? What's next? Y' all moving to Florida?

[A]

This was also, like, seven years ago. I said when we first started working together, like, sorry, that's eight years ago.

[B]

And to be fair, that place been canceled for like 15 years now. So go ahead, make more excuses. But I was like, what?

[A]

I was like, I was impressed. I was like, that is crazy.

[B]

I mean, I, yeah, I just don't eat that much. I honestly, when I'm on the gigs, I don't like to eat. And when I'm at a, I don't like to have a full stomach doing a show. So I would honestly just have like a protein shake before the show. And then. Why is that so funny? Why is that so funny?

[A]

Is that my. Sorry. He talks about this so many times.

[B]

On the podcast before.

[A]

Every time, every time you talk about, like, you just want a protein shake and a banana one that you're trying to stick. About that tour we did.

[B]

Oh, with Club kids, where I had to chew the tomorrow out when he gave my food away, he gave my bananas to Thorgy and gave my, and didn't. And gave me a, a yogurt smoothie. And I said, this is not a protein shake. And I said, your big muscly has know what a protein shake look like. And, and I look back and Thorgy's eating all of my bananas. Thorgy is devouring like literally banana in hand. I go back, there's one banana left and no protein shakes. I was like, this is insane. This is insane. Insane.

[A]

No.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, I typically don't eat, but I don't typically don't eat before my shows either. No, I will eat like, let's say the show's at 8pm I start painting by, I get to the club, 4 or 5:30, so I can start painting by 6 and then I would. But I will have dinner by like 4. I'll eat something at 4. So I'm like, because doing a show hungry, I don't like that. And just a protein shake. I feel like I'm too hungry to do the show. Like during the show I'm thinking about food. Actually. No. Adrenaline kicks in and you're like, in the show. But afterwards I'm so ravenous and because I'm so hungry afterwards the show, I'll just order anything. Now I'm ordering so much food after the show, which is not good. So I, I, I try to eat early before the show. Like a couple hours before.

[B]

I mind being hungry. I would go to bed hungry.

[A]

Hell no.

[B]

If the options are like, you know how many times I've been like late at night and I was like, I just, I really want some candy, but I do not want to get in the car and drive to go get candy. But I would like some candy. So I'll order some candy, and then I will fall asleep, and then I wake up, and then there's candy on my front porch.

[A]

Candy's not food, though. Like, you said, hungry.

[B]

But I would rather have, like. I'd be like, I'm gonna have some candy outside than, like, wake up and have, like, a shake shack sitting on the porch from last night.

[A]

Well, I'm saying. But you said you go to bed hungry. Like, if you like hungry, you go to bed. Like, you, like. Like, I'm gonna be starving.

[B]

Yeah, I'll go to bed hungry. Because I don't want to wait up for food. Like, the choices are either. Like, I'm sleepy. So now I have to, like, stay up and wake up and, like, monitor this food, Go downstairs and get it, probably, or drive to go get food. And I don't. Like, if I'm tired. I just want to go to sleep.

[A]

Oh, no. I order food. I can't go to bed hungry. Although now I'm on this nutrition screen. I'm on 1800 calories a day, and I don't know how many. The other day, I was so exhausted, and because I was just. My body was like, you're really having 800 calories a day. I feel like I'm not eating anything. I'm always hungry.

[B]

The 1800 seems pretty low, girl. I feel like you should be eating, like, 2,000 calories or 2,500 calories a day, girl.

[A]

But he's like, if you want. I explained my goals. He's like, if you want to do this by this date, that's what you have to do.

[B]

Are you happy?

[A]

I am happy. I'm seeing results. I'm happy with my results. I'm just hungry. I'm. I'm happy and hungry. H. H. Is this the.

[B]

Is this. Do you think it's worth it?

[A]

You know, I think that I'm in 30. I'm 35 years old now. You know, I was talking to a friend who was 42, and he was saying, like, how much, like, when he crossed into his being 40, how much his body, like, really changed in terms of how his body, like, stores fat and how, like. Like, hard it is for him to, like, lose weight and how a little bit tougher working out is for him, like, waking up. And he was. I was like, you know what? While I'm at 35 years old, I want to try to achieve a lot of things. I want to. And I Think I've gotten to a place I'm happy in my body, so I'm trying to push it to the next tier. So I'm like, I'm willing to make the sacrifice for the next. For these next few months to see what I can do with my body.

[B]

I'm gonna be a bodybuilder.

[A]

No. I don't want to be a bodybuilder. No.

[B]

What's rather being a bodybuilder, the work.

[A]

And the discipline it takes to do that is insane.

[B]

You have to, like, 3,300 calories a day, and they.

[A]

And they're eating all the meal, prepping, all the supplements, all the. I wouldn't know when I first got.

[B]

On, when I first got off Drag Race before it aired, but after we had filmed it, I was working with this guy, and I was on a bodybuilder diet and a bodybuilder workout plan. And I used to go this way called the Chicken Coop in New York City, and they would make you these, like. I mean, these, like, bowls of just mess. They were tasty, but it was like the. The belt, the bowl was packed so tight that the food was exploding out of the sides. And he was like, you have to eat every bite of this. You can't. You can't leave a drop of this.

[A]

It's a job.

[B]

It was. It was a lot of food, and I had a lot of. I had more downtime than I had ever had in my life at that point or in my adult life at that point, I mean, since I started working anyway. So I was like, oh, this is so much work. And I was like. At the gym all the time was with Matt Griffin.

[A]

Yeah. Being. Achieving and maintaining that kind of body, it is. It really is like a job. Like, you're working so hard at it. Like, it's a lot. And I don't have the constitution. I don't have. I don't have that to do it. I don't. I can't. I wouldn't, like. I wouldn't enjoy it.

[B]

Yeah, me either. I don't think it. I don't think that really speaks to me either. That. That is not something I would like to do. But I've also got to a point in my life where I'm kind of like, you know what the options are, doing a thing to your body and, like, doing all this work and stuff. And I go through spells where I'm doing a lot or I'm doing a little. Where I'm doing a lot. It all depends on what's happening in my life. What am I willing to sacrifice? Am I willing to sacrifice work to go to the gym? And I realize the answer is no. I'm not willing to sacrifice any, any work, any gig, any writing, any. Anything a stream to. To go to the gym.

[A]

See, that's which I'm different. I sacrifice a lot. Like I going to the gym every day is something to me. And like how I prioritize that in my life with like work, like around my work schedule now. I like build it into my schedule every day. Like I'm doing that every day. That does bring me joy. That does feel. Give me happiness.

[B]

What kind of joy? What do you feel when you're at the gym?

[A]

I don't. I feel happier. I feel like I get to focus on this one thing because I put my phone on do not disturb. I have my fucking AirPods on. I'm just like listening to music or a podcast or a book and just zoning out on that for two and a half hours with cardio and strength training. And I, I love what that does for me. Like, I love like what that does for my mental. To like have that time.

[B]

I want to ask you a question. What do you put your phone do not serve at night? No, that's. To me, people who put their phones on do not disturb starting at like 8 o' clock is crazy.

[A]

Why?

[B]

What if someone really needs to reach you? Like, what if there's an emergency?

[A]

What if has a feature also you can, you can prioritize your donuts to serve, right? You can put it to. Let's say you put your phone on do not disturb. You can have that Jacob Tao, whoever it is, can still reach you.

[B]

What if someone who's not on your list has an emergency?

[C]

I have it set. So if the same number calls twice.

[A]

Yeah. Also. Also then, then that means that, that that person. Like, then you're not. They're not a priority for you. So they probably have other people that they can call. Like, you're probably not their last resort.

[B]

But like, what if. I'm saying what if there's an emergency? Like, like for example, who's on your. Who's on your go through list?

[A]

I don't have a go through list. No one is on my.

[B]

So what if Ty has an emergency?

[A]

Ty is lives in Houston. He has a bunch of people who can call.

[B]

What if Monet. What if there's an emergency? That's something I think.

[A]

Ty, there's a person that ties an emergency. I don't think Ty would call Me.

[B]

But what if it's an emergency about you? What if it's like a work emergency specifically regarding you?

[A]

Then someone will get to me. If it is an emergency, but no.

[B]

One can get to you. Everyone's on the dry stand, and there's.

[A]

No work emergency that it will not be fine in two hours. Whenever I'm going to take it off, there's nothing that could be happening that in two hours won't be fine.

[B]

What if it's like a pressing offer?

[A]

Then it will be there in two hours, and if not, I miss out on it.

[B]

But if they said. But I mean, like, you don't. Oh, you don't. You don't have the nighttime thing.

[A]

No, I don't have nighttime because people.

[B]

Have that nighttime thing. I'm like, what if this is like a really pressing thing? What if someone has something really exciting? What if someone's like, we're all have tickets to go see SZA tonight. We have tickets to Scissor right now. Girl, meet us there. Oh, my God. We're not answering. We have tickets to Scissor. Maybe it's not. Maybe it's not a pressing emergency, but you missed out on going to see.

[A]

SZA tonight, then that's just what it is.

[B]

But I guess for some people, their nighttime, that boundary is important to them. But also, you know why it doesn't bother me that much? Cause my phone. My phone ringing will not wake me up. Bitch, my alarm barely wakes me up.

[A]

Girl, we know. Yeah, you sleep like a rock, girl. I used to come to your apartment picking up $20 bills on the floor.

[B]

Yeah, but that part, I believe.

[A]

Most of your apartment, you had you. Sometimes, y', all. Bob would be in his fucking. Cause he was sleeping on a bunk bed.

[B]

I would go, it was a loft bed. There was no bed beneath it. Continue. Bunk beds are. There's two of them.

[A]

Bob would be up in his little princess pea, little, little thing. I would use my key, come into.

[B]

An apartment, walk around, and I would.

[A]

Have to go to the bed and be like, girl, steal nothing. I'm like, girl, like, hey, what's up?

[B]

That's why you don't have a key anymore.

[A]

I don't want a key. And you don't have a key in mind.

[B]

Yeah, I never asked for it. And you.

[A]

Because why you would never have one.

[B]

I would never want one.

[A]

I would never give you one. I would know that I would never want one because you can never get it.

[B]

I wouldn't be clear. There's something that's like telling me like you.

[A]

You.

[B]

I can't have a sandwich.

[A]

And you never. You would never have a key to.

[B]

My home, and I will never.

[A]

You're right.

[B]

A key to your home is a shit sandwich to me.

[A]

Okay? And you'll never have it. So good.

[B]

So we're never gonna give you the shit sandwich.

[A]

I'm happy you don't want it, because you'll never get it.

[B]

And you'll never get the shit sandwich.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I'm glad we cleared that up. Great. We're done with this podcast. And you can't have this.

[A]

It's not yours to give away. Limu Emu and Doug. Here we have the Limu Emu in its natural habitat, helping people customize their car insurance and save hundreds with Liberty Mutual. Fascinating. It's accompanied by his natural ally, Doug.

Mike and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other. When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four litre jug. When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

[A]

Oh, come on.

[B]

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia trip planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip. Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool. Whatever. You were made to outdo your holidays. We were made to help organize the competition. Expedia made to travel.
