Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Challenges and Joys of Working Together

• The episode kicks off with a playful rundown of plans, cancellations, and group get-togethers, highlighting Bob and Monét's particular push-pull dynamic both on and off the clock.
• Bob pushes for direct answers and gets exasperated by Monét’s roundabout scheduling (“It’s a yes or no.” [01:44])
• The conversation captures how friendship and partnership can clash and mesh, especially with their different approaches to time, socializing, and work.

2. Dining Out: LA vs. NYC

• A major chunk is devoted to debating the merits of New York vs. LA restaurants.
• Monét firmly claims:

  "LA has way better restaurants than New York…hands down way better dining than New York City." [07:56]

• Bob disagrees, extolling New York’s dining scene and especially outdoor dining ("Jacob's Pickles…my favorite restaurant in New York City." [06:47]), while also complaining about loud music and the discomfort of restaurant seating.
• Jacob joins in with some facts:

  “According to the Michelin star, New York has 76 Michelin star restaurants and LA has 27.” [09:02]

• They rib each other over food critic sources and real-life experiences, with Monét referencing social media-based recommendations and Bob relying on prestigious ratings.

3. Pizza Party Etiquette

• The queens get unexpectedly deep on the logistics and social rules of pizza parties:
  • Bob insists: "Half the pizzas need to be pepperoni...and I'm not willing to budge on this rule." [15:29 / 17:08]
  • Monét pushes back, suggesting more variety, but agrees about not over-ordering the "weird pizzas."
• A riff on pizza quantities (Bob hilariously overestimating, “Twenty people? You need at least 40 pizzas!” [14:03])
• Great moment of drag math humor:

  "I went to school in Atlanta. Y’all leave me alone." [14:11]

• They debate crust preferences, best New York City pizza spots (Prince Street, Coronet), and what variety to provide at gatherings.

4. Rider Requests & Promoter Drama

• Bob and Monét share backstage stories and rider anecdotes — what they ask for, what they take home, and what happens when they don’t get what they want.
  • Monét: “I always take the tequila, I take the…I always take the fruit because after gigs, you know, I'm always hungry…” [23:52]
  • Bob: “I don’t take a bottle of honey every time I leave a gig…I don't need 40 bottles of honey…” [24:20]
• They role-play a run-in between a tour manager (Patty/Patrick) and a flustered venue rep whose “grandmother” is in jail over a fruit plate — a comedic peak that exaggerates the drama around hospitality negotiations [28:01–30:29].
• Monét tries to paint Bob as extra difficult to please, especially on tour:

  “Bob fucking corners this man…Try to gather him about not having bananas or at a protein shake that Bob rarely ate and drank himself…” [31:03]

5. Behind-the-Scenes: Professional Reputations & Myths

• The queens poke fun at each other’s reputations in the industry, referencing rumors, beefs, and infamous fan encounters.
  • Monét dredges up rumors about Bob’s behavior on set with Elliot Page and at DragCon UK (“I know for a fact, Elliot Page, honey, because in the circles that I traveled, I've heard about you and Elliot Page.” [32:32])
  • Bob accuses Monét of standoffishness at DragCon, reading hilarious Reddit fan reviews [43:15–43:56].
• Notable exchange:

  Bob: "You trying to create beef with me and Elliot Paige…is just you trying to deflect from the fist fight that you and Shay had where she whooped up on you on All Stars, which Shay has confirmed on Twitter, by the way." [38:48]

6. Life on the Road: Hunger, Gigs, and Interpersonal Friction

• Recurring joke about Monét’s perpetual hunger (and hanger), especially when touring [26:07].
• Stories of promoters shortchanging them on food, with Bob defending his willingness to speak up for better treatment.
• Exchange about taking everything off the rider and leftovers ("I am not combative…I am not. Bob is the one who argues with promoters and stuff on tour…" [31:03]).

7. Politics, Faith, and Frustration

• The closing third features a sharp pivot into “real talk” about the despair and apathy many left-leaning people feel about American politics and the lack of effective messaging by Democrats [52:00–56:56].
  • Monét: "The left Democrats, we're playing point for point, blow for blow…"
  • Bob: "The Republicans are really on…one band, one sound…" [53:06]
• Both critique the Democratic Party for weak communication and not rallying or informing young voters.
• They briefly touch on Bob’s atheism and Monét’s views on organized religion, stemming from a discussion of an LDS documentary:

  "I really feel like to be a queer Christian, you have to have some level of cognitive dissonance. You just have to..." [49:48–50:03]

• Talk of feeling powerless versus the long-term strategic thinking of conservatives.

8. Ending: Back to the Banter

• The episode closes with Monét and Bob ragging on each other, including jokes about Monét’s background and shoe shelf on Zoom (“I bet I see that raggedy ass $2 shoe shelf behind you.” [64:07])
• Final playful exchange about logging off for the day.

• Jacob (on Michelin stars): "According to the Michelin star, New York has 76 Michelin star restaurants and LA has 27." [09:02]
• Monét (when lacking an item on her rider): "Well, here's a suggestion. Could she maybe try getting a fruit bowl? I heard bowls are in stock here." [28:32]
• Bob (about political differences): "The Republicans are really on one accord. They are one band, one sound." [53:06]

You trying to create beef with me and Elliot Paige is what it really is. It's just you trying to deflect from the fist fight that you and Shay had where she whooped up on you on All Stars. And we find out what made Jacob say this.

[Jacob]

Anyway,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

every time I went mammon, I

[Monet X Change]

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I get twilight. That's twilight at. What about the afternoon?

[Monet X Change]

Andy wants to.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's dusk. That's dusk.

[Monet X Change]

I really want to go to. Have you been to Ozone Izakaya? I don't even know what that is. I don't want to go to oz. It's such. It's great with such good food. It's good.

[Jacob]

Sushi.

[Monet X Change]

It's good. Like they have a lot of meat on a stick. They have like chicken skin fried on a stick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It sounds like they don't specialize in anything so good.

[Monet X Change]

And sushi. That's why I want to go for dinner. But any Japanese restaurant. It is Japanese. Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And they don't. But they don't specialize in sushi. It's not like a sushi bar or grill or sushi.

[Monet X Change]

No, I said that they have sushi. No, they have sushi. They have sushi. But they. I, I love the meats on a stick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, I'm not really much of an eat out type. I'm not really super into going out to eat at places. I really prefer to eat at home because restaurants are often. The music is always too loud. I've never, I'm rarely ever happy with the volume of the music in a restaurant. I'm often like, oh, this is just too loud. I often think that when I'm in a restaurant, I also don't want to

[Monet X Change]

say, I guess that's the perfect reason to stay home and eat.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't want to sit so close to people. I want to have the comforts of my home. I don't want to have to ask for another drink of water or a drink of a drink. I want to sit in a chair that's more comfortable.

[Monet X Change]

I don't want to eat at home. Yeah, eat at home. Do that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't, I don't like sitting near strangers.

[Monet X Change]

You do it often. You often sit next to strangers.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know I don't like it. I mean there are things I have to do. Like I, I have to fly to my game.

[Monet X Change]

You have to eat after.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I usually eat at home. I don't eat out super often. I usually eat at home. But I mean, obviously I do eat at restaurants. I do go out and eat. I do prefer an outdoor dining option because it is, oddly enough, quieter outside than it is inside. Even in New York City. I recently had a very lovely New York City dining experience. And I was like, this is great.

[Monet X Change]

I went to elaborate.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I went to Jacob's Pickles. Me and Ezra went to Jacob's Pickles because he had never been. And we sat outside and it felt so nice to not sit indoors. And Jacob's Pickles, which is my favorite restaurant in New York City, notoriously for me, anyway, has very loud music and I'm like screaming. I remember how we took Kim and Ammo there and we were fucking just yelling at them the whole time because it was so loud in there.

[Monet X Change]

But.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But because of the Pondery play, they have a lot of outdoor seating now. And we sat outdoors and a bird did land on our table, which is a little bit concerning. It wasn't a pigeon, though, so it wasn't as disgusting. It was like a little. Like a tiny little bird. Sort of a jay. Some sort of a jay.

[Monet X Change]

A blue jay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Blue jay. Mocking jay. No, that's from the book.

[Monet X Change]

I don't want no Pigeons. No. Remember when they did the pigeons version? There was no scrubs. That was a cultural moment, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anyway, so I had a great dining experience and I had what I always get, which the hot chicken sandwich and he had the matzo ball soup and we had the biscuits and gravy and it was great. But I don't always have great dining experiences.

[Monet X Change]

I will say LA has way better restaurants than New York. Like the. And this is coming from a through and through New Yorker, L.A. has hands down way better dining than New York City.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

For those of you who are. Who are listening and not watching, you didn't see the face. I just made. My face just got turned completely upside down.

[Monet X Change]

That is fact.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I. I mean, it is a matter of opinion. And in my opinion, New York City does have better restaurants.

[Monet X Change]

No restauranteers like people. Like, if you look online, Kim is showing me this like it is like it is agreed upon by restaurateurs that LA has more better dining than New York City. Not. Not to shame New York, because obviously I love you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Take your opinion from people who give them to you. In my opinion that I formed myself of the restaurants I've been to.

[Monet X Change]

I think with your uninformed opinion, someone Kimberly Chee, who is. Who has made it her business to go and review restaurants and monetize it. In her way, she is someone who is actually doing the work instead of you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're not based in.

[Monet X Change]

She's showing me things online about restaurateurs. Agree hands down that LA has better food than New York City.

[Jacob]

I mean, according to the Michelin star, New York has 76 Michelin star restaurants and LA has 27 Michel. Michelin star restaurants.

[Monet X Change]

Michelin. But that's their opinion.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But, but when I just said it was an opinion, you were like, no, the restaurateurs, the restaurateers. And I think it's restaurant.

[Monet X Change]

Restaurateurs. Restauranteers.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it's restaurateurs.

[Monet X Change]

I might be wrong, but like, like Mouseketeers.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it's like entrepreneurs. Restaurateurs. I think that's what it is.

[Monet X Change]

No, it's not, honey.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I'm not positive, but I'm almost sure that it's restaurateur.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, you, you're, you're, you're definitely, you're very negative. Yeah, you are, you're right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're not positive at all is in my opinion and apparently in the opinion of the Michelin rating system. I think. But I guess you're just basing off of because Kim told you. Well, besides. Besides, because Kim told you. What are the articles?

[Monet X Change]

We were looking at things on the, on the phone also.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You think Michelin's a dumb bitch. You think the Michelin ratings.

[Monet X Change]

Michelin is bald headed, confused and not someone that I would trust when I was making decisions about food. I don't know who Michelin is. I don't know where she got her stars from.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What is this article? You saw like Kim showed you? Did you read the article? Did you just like, what is this article?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, I don't remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

New York City notoriously has very great restaurants. Like, it's like a whole. It's like a thing.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I, I've had great food in New York City, but I will say I feel like I've had better dining experiences in LA than New York City.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, you know what? You all comment below. Where is your favorite restaurant? My favorite restaurant is Jacob's Pickles in New York City. It is a chain, but it's my favorite chain in New York City. I don't, I'm also not one who super loves going out, but I have had some really wonderful dining experiences in my day in New York City.

[Monet X Change]

There, there's this place in fucking Brooklyn and I saw someone advertise it on Fucking TikTok on TikTok on Twitter and I'm so jealous. I have not had a chance to go. There's this Caribbean restaurant in Brooklyn. They sell oxtail pizza and it looks so fucking good. And they have all types of Caribbean flavored pizzas. And I'm like, ooh, bitch. And next time, every time I say I go to New York, I'm like, I'm gonna Go. And I just have not. And I've been several times since and I'm very upset. I want to go. So if anyone has tried this goddamn oxtail pizza at the pizza shop in Brooklyn on Flatbush and I think burgers, something like that, please let me know if it's good. I'm so jealous.

[Jacob]

New York City's called mango seed.

[Monet X Change]

Mango seed, Mango seed restaurant. If anyone has had the mango seed restaurant pizza, the oxtail pizza, please comment below. Let me know if it's good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

New York City's also, they did like a hunt for like the world's best pizza. And I think New York City had like the first and second best pizza in the world according to this.

[Monet X Change]

From where?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. It was like, it was like this thing like, you know, you know, like Kim's article, it was like that something, some, some thing that I saw.

[Monet X Change]

Do you know what you saw? I mean, you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But, but the difference, the piece was in Brooklyn, it was on the food channel.

[Monet X Change]

Got it. Got it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And the piece was in Brooklyn. And they do a thing every year, the world's best pizza. And I think that New York has the number one and number two best pizza in the world.

[Monet X Change]

Andy swears it's artichoke pizza. I'm like, I don't feel like it's artichoke pizza. It's the best pizza in New York City. I mean, I've had artichoke pizza. I'm never like, oh my God, this is so good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't like fancy pizza though. So I mean, I've had artichoke pizza and I thought it was really good. But I also do. I, I don't, I prefer non fancy pizza over fancy pizza. It's trying too hard.

[Monet X Change]

I like thin crust pizza. I like, I don't like having pizza. Even when I was a kid when like people would get like Pizza Hut or like pizza parties, I used to always hate how thick the bread was. There's always so much bread. So when the Domino's started making like a thin crust pizza, like, like, like, you know, it was part of their thing. I was like, oh my God, this is so cool. I never knew that I could just get thin crust pizza like that. And I love, I love like a nice thin, thin, flaky pizza with like, with all the meat on top of it and like a little bit of cheese, not a little bit of cheese. I like a little bit of sauce. That's what I like. And like average cheese. But when it's a pizza that is too Saucy. Too much marinara.

[Jacob]

It.

[Monet X Change]

I hate that. I hate when it's too saucy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I prefer extra sauce on my thin crust. Domino's pepperoni pizza. I also. New York City's also the home of the cronut, which is a very popular food item. Love cronuts that really pop. New York City has some of the. New York City. You're wild. Great food. And also I was. I want to run by you some thoughts I have on pizza party etiquette.

[Monet X Change]

Okay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I feel like you need to. Every pizza is two to three people. So if you have 20 people at a party. 20 people, in my humble opinion, you'd eat at least 40 pizzas.

[Monet X Change]

What? No, you mean the other way around. You need 10 pizzas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You mean.

[Monet X Change]

What are you talking about? You mean 10 pizzas?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I went to school in Atlanta. Y' all leave me alone.

[Monet X Change]

Public school.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You need 10 to 20 people. You need 10 to 15 pizzas. And I have a lot more rules for my.

[Monet X Change]

For my 20 people, 40 pizzas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I have more rules for my pizza too.

[Monet X Change]

I don't think it's. I think for 20 people, I think maybe like eight to 10. 10 is the max. 15 pizza, that's almost a whole pizza per person. That's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, if they're thin crust. If they're thin crust, you need two to three people. Two, Two to three people per pizza. I think that if they're regular size, you can do three, maybe four. Four people is not enough. One pizza is not enough to feed four people. I also feel like this, and y', all, I'm. I'm not ruling. I'm not willing to budge on this rule. I am not.

[Monet X Change]

There. There are many things. If it's a. If it's.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If.

[Monet X Change]

If it's. If it's a large pizza, four people to one pizza is fine. If it's a medium sized pizza, which is standard for.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you don't order medium sized pizzas for a pizza party, you only order

[Monet X Change]

that because especially, well, bitch speak for you. I don't know how he was rolling in. In thing, but when we used to have pizza parties at like friends houses, because Domin or Pizza Hut, they used to always do a special for medium sized pizzas. And you can get like three medium sized pizzas, whereas the large one, you can maybe get like one or maybe two. So I mean, and again, it varies, but if you're trying to get more variety, people get medium sized pizzas. You can get like multiple, like different types of pizza.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Somewhat pineapple I'll redact that one. You can get a medium sized pizza, but also the difference in a slice of pizza from a medium to a large is actually not that much difference. It's in the entire pie that makes a big difference. And here's my rule that I'm not willing to budge on. If it's like a standard party, meaning like it's not like a vegan party or a vegetarian party. Y' all hear me out. Half of the pizzas need to be pepperoni. I'm gonna say it one more time for the people in the back. Half of the pizzas need to be pepperoni. And I will tell you the rest of my rules when I get.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Half the pieces need be pepperoni. Do you agree with that rule? I would say a third, a third,

[Monet X Change]

a third and then you want to have some sausage because I'm a meat lover person. But if it's our meat lovers when it's like three or more meats, but if it's just pepperoni and sausage, I'd rather just have sausage or rather have pepperoni.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think half need to be pepperoni, a third need to be cheese, and then the other little chunk can be these little fancy pizzas. But hear me out. If you let's say one of the fancy pizzas like some pizza loaded with veggies for some vegetarian who doesn't want to just eat cheese pizza, if you are a person who eats meat, you can't eat that pizza. You cannot eat the pizza.

[Monet X Change]

I agree, it's nasty.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You can't eat the weird like the one with Bell peppers and pickles and stuff. All that shit. First of all, if you order more than I've been to a pizza party where over half the pizza were that weird shit, and I was like, you have done a disservice to everyone here at your party. This is shady. This is bad business. And I will no longer be attending any more of your pizza parties or you are no longer allowed to order the pizza. So I think that the majority of the pizza should be cheese and pepperoni. And then after that, you get those little weird pizzas with like, pineapples and ham and pineapple slaps.

[Monet X Change]

Ham and pineapple. So good. Also, I love when Domino does this, like, the Philly cheesesteak one. And they do like the different ones. Those are really good, too, with a nice little Alfredo sauce instead of marinara sauce. But also, if you. Kudos to Italy for getting Matteo in Czech and proven that there is actual. That people do put how to make fettuccine' cause Mateo did this whole video about how Americans made fettuccine Alfredo.

[Jacob]

Whatever.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, Alfredo Alfredo. Specifically Alfredo fettuccine, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Alfredo, fettuccine, Fettuccine Alfredo, same thing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then, well, at first you said fettuccine, and I was like, well, there is fettuccine, but he was saying there's no Alfredo fettuccine, Alfredo sauce or whatever.

[Monet X Change]

And he went to Italy and they gathered his little mustache strand by strand.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But. And my last rule is, if you are one of the folks who ordered one of those weird pieces, don't, don't, don't dive into the cheese pizzas. If you were to eat your weird shit, eat your little weird shit. Don't be trying to come over here eating cheese pizzas, specifically the cheese pizzas, because only a third of the pizzas are cheese pizzas. And other vegetarians who don't want to eat that weird shit don't want you

[Monet X Change]

little pizzas are such a waste of time. Like, stop. Stop it. If you want to have a cheese pizza, then you should have stayed at home. If you are someone who comes to a pizza party to eat cheese pizza, you should not have come. You should have stayed home.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you have a favorite pizza in New York City?

[Monet X Change]

Favorite pizza? Prince Street Pizza, probably Prince Street. So good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Prince Street.

[Monet X Change]

Prince. Like a princess. But take off the s. Just a

[Bob the Drag Queen]

prince I really like. You know, I said it was Gotham Pizza, but I want to redact that statement. Gotham is my favorite cheap pizza of all the favorite. What Cheap pizza? It's not dollar pizza. I think it's like $2 or 250 maybe, but it is. It is great cheap pizza. Everyone's had 99 cent pizza. You know, honestly, when you're hungry, I haven't 99 cent pizza slaps. But the best one is Coronet.

[Monet X Change]

Coronet is good. I mean, again, I feel like all these pieces there's.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you. If you.

[Monet X Change]

Besides the size of Coronet is. Is like the pizzas are huge slices of pizza. If you put all of these pizzas next to each other and I tasted them, I would not be able to tell you that if you put a slice of cheese pizza from Dollar Pizza, Gotham, Coronet, wherever else, I would not be able to taste the difference. Except for maybe Prince street pizza, because they season their. They do like their cheese. They do a regular cheese one, but they cut them in squares and they also do a spicy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, Chicago style.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And they do like a spicy one where they mix like the vodka and the marinara sauce, so stuff like that. But all the other ones, they are literally. They all taste the fucking same. Nothing about it is different.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, you also think that all alcohol tastes the same, so, like, your taste buds have lost their credibility.

[Monet X Change]

Nigga, how you feel about alcohol? How alcohol tastes to you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God.

[Monet X Change]

You haven't drank in it in a long time, so you don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is bullying for my. I am in recovery. Wow, that's a low blow even for you, Mo. That was a low blow.

[Monet X Change]

I'm crying when they go low, which I touch the flow.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When they go low, I hit a dip and go lower. Honey, no. I can tell the difference between all the alcohol. I mean, most people can. I think most people are like, you're wild. If I mix like, vodka and cranberry and then whiskey and cranberry, you would know the difference.

[Monet X Change]

Can I say, am I? Am I? Well, yes. No, that's not what I said. I said, I saw all the lights and dark. Tastes the same. I said vodka and tequila. If I did a tequila, tequila cranberry and a vodka cranberry, I. It tastes the same.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. Comes in dark and it comes in light, so.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I'm talking about the light tequila, tequila blanco. If you put tequila blanco and vodka with cranberry juice. Yes, you would.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes, you would.

[Monet X Change]

It's giving the same. You know how. You telling me I've done it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're gonna. We're gonna do a taste test tonight. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go to the grocery. I'm gonna go to the store.

[Monet X Change]

You asked me not to come over, so now you want me to come over. Which one do you want?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm coming to you. I just don't want you in my space.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, well, you're not invited to my house, so don't meet your nigga. We can chill outside on the corner. Cause you're not coming to my home.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I'll meet you on the corner, bitch.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, Bob, I have been drinking soil a very long time. And I have tried. I have tried all the time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's a weird flex. Weird flex.

[Monet X Change]

Like, if I did like a.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Somebody's. Like, I've been a drunk for a long time, honey.

[Monet X Change]

If I did like a whiskey and Coke or like a bourbon and Coke tastes the same.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, part of me, I want to get the booze and do them for you, but then I feel like once I get there, you won't tell the truth. You'll be like, they taste the same.

[Monet X Change]

I would do an honest thing, and

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'd be like, Monet. That was just. That was Windex. And you'd be like, it tastes like blue Carousel to me.

[Monet X Change]

Because of my rider, I have. You know, I have a bottle of Casamigos on my rider. So every time I go to a place, they give me a bottle of Casamigos. So now I have. I just have nine bottles of Casamigos just sitting in my thing. And I was like, patty, this is crazy. And he goes, you know, you don't have to take them. I was like, that would be rude. If I had two drinks from this bottle of tequila, I just leave it at the venue. I feel like that's so rude and so wasteful.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you take everything from your rider home?

[Monet X Change]

But just if I want. Like, I take the tequila, I take the. I always take the fruit because.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But it sounds like you don't want the tequila.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, no. I wanted my house because when I have people over, I can use that alcohol. And I always take the fruit. Because after gigs, you know, I'm always hungry, right? And I'm like, if left to my own devices and my own fucking mess, I would get a fucking McDonald's this and that. But if I took the fruit, I'll just eat the fruit and I'll be full and I'll go to bed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I take so much.

[Monet X Change]

Do you take anything from your writer? Do you leave everything?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I leave what I don't feel like I need in my life. Like, I don't. I don't take a bottle of honey every time I leave a gig. So I just. I just. I leave the honey behind because I don't need, you know, 40 bottles of honey sitting in my house.

[Monet X Change]

You know what I mean?

[Jacob]

Share what's on your basic writer.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My writer has a protein. Protein shake, makeup, wipes, tea, honey, and black towels.

[Monet X Change]

Protein shake. Make them wipes, tea, honey, and a black towel.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And a few black towels. In fact, speaking of black towels, this is why I have so many of these in my house. Black towels.

[Jacob]

And if they have everything but it's a white towel, is it game over?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I lose my shit. If I walk in and see a white towel, I will turn that fucking building upside down.

[Monet X Change]

And he also sees you. What he do if there's a fucking white person there? He really gets wild. Losing my shit. I don't mind. I have a plate of fruit, plate of meat, cheese and crackers, tequila, a fan, towels, makeup, wipes, and something else I'm forgetting. And Patty always goes and he checks to make sure all the things are there. And. Yeah. What am I missing? There's something really important I'm missing. I don't remember. There's one more thing that I'm missing,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

is for charcuterie at every gig. Mm.

[Monet X Change]

Because oftentimes especially like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Because if we're traveling and it's like a really busy day, I haven't time to eat. I want to get something in my stomach before I do the show. So I have like, some fruit and I'll have some of the meat and cheese and then I'll do the show. Otherwise I'm like, hungry, hungry. Monet is angry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Monet, are you always hungry? God damn.

[Monet X Change]

Only when I do Sipping Winery. Only when that's the only time I'm ever hungry.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You should eat before the podcast. That's why I do a protein shake because I don't want anything heavy before a gig. But I also don't want nothing. I don't. I don't want to go to a show with a full meal on my stomach. I just want.

[Monet X Change]

Perfect.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just want, like a little protein shake. And I always get a naked double berry protein shake. That's the one on my rider. Mm. What do you do if something that make it.

[Monet X Change]

Is that a smoothie? That's a smoothie. That's not a protein shake.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, that's protein. It's a protein packed smoothie. I mean, what's the difference between a smoothie and a shake? Like, what is the difference a shake?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know, but I mean, the nakeds are smoothies, not Shakespeare.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're like, I don't know, but I know that yours ain't a shake.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I'm just talking about the label. The label literally says mixed berry protein. Guy's Berries Protein shake smoothie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know whether it's a shake or a smoothie. I get the double berry blue machine. No, the double berry. It's called double berry. So what happens if Patty goes in and something from. Your rider's not there? What happens then?

[Monet X Change]

He just talked to. He like messaged whoever the contact is, like, hey, so we on the writer's.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's play it out. You ready? Let's play it out. You're Patty and I am the. I am the. Alright, so Monet's room is set up and let me guys know if you need anything else. Okay.

[Monet X Change]

Hi. We do need something else. I'm noticing that we're not seeing the fruit plate that's supposed to be in the rider.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh yeah. You know, my grandma ran around all day looking for a.

[Monet X Change]

Your grandmother. So you're gonna have employees that could help.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My grandmother works here and she's beautifully capable.

[Monet X Change]

And she's the runner.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes, for today. She was. Yes. So my grandmother was. My grandmother ran around all day looking for the plate and they didn't have any anywhere. There's a short. There's actually a shortage right now here in Idaho of fruits. Of fruit specific. No, no, no, no plates. We have fruits plates. There's a shortage of the plates that the fruits go on. So my grandma kind of got into it with one of the people at Sam's Food Club and was arrested. So we were not able to get a plate. I apologize.

[Monet X Change]

Well, there's your problem. You went to Sam's. We don't do that. Here's a suggestion. Could she maybe try getting a fruit bowl? I heard bowls are in stock here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you would. I mean, we didn't. Your writer said plate. It didn't say bowl. We didn't want to upset you, but we did get. We got eight. Everything else on the writer and the show is also in one hour, so.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I would think that you could.

[Jacob]

That.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, how long does it take

[Bob the Drag Queen]

money to get ready?

[Monet X Change]

She's already ready. She's already fully dressed and makeup is on. She just really doesn't want to eat before the show, so it probably isn't wild. We do have the charcuterie on an empty stomach. We do have the charcuterie, but we asked for fruits as well. So what I'm gonna ask is that there is a stop and Shop not be. Let me Google maps it. Oh, 17 minutes away. So it's possible someone can run and get that and just.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

My grandma's in jail. Really? Great. Grandma's in jail.

[Monet X Change]

I thought she was working here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She's the runner. She's in jail. You're not listening to my story, Patty. May I call you Patty?

[Monet X Change]

No. My name is Patrick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Patrick.

[Monet X Change]

Patrick. As it says in the signature of my email that we've been. We've been texting all day. And my name is Patrick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I also follow you on Instagram where it says Patty. It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal, Patrick, but I did tell you earlier that my grandmother is the runner. She's in jail now, so.

[Monet X Change]

Okay. And there's no one else on staff that can take a run. None.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know what?

[Monet X Change]

You. You seem to be doing nothing. Is that. Is it possible you could.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. I'm arguing with you.

[Monet X Change]

Oh. Oh, well, that makes it. See, I'm not arguing with you. So you're.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When I leave here, I'm going to open the house. Because we open the house. The show's an hour. House opens in 30 minutes. So I have to leave. But Patty started fighting the house manager.

[Monet X Change]

You act like you don't know Patty. Act like you do not know Patty.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I feel like this house manager is going through a lot of trauma with their mother, with their grandmother being their grandm. Grandmother.

[Monet X Change]

Which one is it? She don't even know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Their grandmother is in jail. And all y' all are worried about is fruit, y'. All. Team Monae is wild, honey wild.

[Monet X Change]

You're out of control. You're out of control.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I cannot believe y' all did this. This sweet. This sweet lady just trying to get you a fruit bowl. Got into a fight at Sam's club.

[Monet X Change]

Hey, it is what it is, girl. Yeah, so that's one of the things about writer. I mean, honestly, if something isn't on there and they don't get it, it's not a big deal. I make it work. I'm very. I'm not combative. I am not. Bob is the one who argues with promoters and stuff on tour. We have told y' all several stories about Indiana.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hold on, let me finish.

[Monet X Change]

Let me finish. On that comedy tour where Bob wanted to. Our promoter was stressed selling this tour. He is handling five dragons. It's a lot. Bob fucking corners this man in a room and fucking gets. Try to gather him about not having bananas or at a protein shake that Bob rarely ate and drank himself. Then we Go on to Robbie tour in Canada and Bob Corna's poor little promoter, this man trying to put a tour together with myself, Bob, our two assistants, our four dancers. He is tired, y'.

[Sponsor/Advertisement Voice]

All.

[Monet X Change]

He's working around the clock to ensure that we have a good tour. Bob starts to scream at this man. He is. He didn't cry, but his eyes were. When I saw how red his eyes were, he was welling up with tears. I was sitting there like, I cannot believe this is happening. And then poor little old me had just finished All Stars 4. So I did like, you know, I have, like. I didn't want to, like, you know, intervene and like, upset Bob. I know Bob gets really, really, really upset. So I just like, it was. Bob is the one. He gets. He flies off the handle when he does not. His have the things on his rider.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The way mon just sprinkled in small amounts of truth throughout this story to. To give it its validity. Small amount of truth, you mean is not telling you. Is that on that tour in Canada, which I've told y', all, that promoter, I was trying to feed four dancers, one dj, two drag queens, and two assistants. This is nine people all grown. One of them is a six foot six dj. And then the other one is. The other one is two Face.

[Monet X Change]

Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it tried to feed us all with one rotisserie chicken and a bottle of vodka. And after the.

[Monet X Change]

The third time in the salad too.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And after the third time, I said, this is enough. And I after. After asking four times, politely, four, for what we needed. The fifth time, I was not as polite, and I was hungry and I was tired. And Monet got food the next day and she didn't thank me.

[Monet X Change]

I'm Kiana. And I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify, it's doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like, I can't stop. I'm addicted. Start your free [e-mail].

[Monet X Change]

I think that you should really look at, like it was really stressed out and doing it. He was trying to do the best he could with what he had. If I would have accepted pickle juice,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would still be drinking pickle juice to this day.

[Monet X Change]

And for you to berate this man and make him feel so, so small in that dressing room in. Where were we in Newtown? I don't know where we were. I. It was. Honestly, it was. I felt it was not. Oh, my God.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

To quote Nicki Minaj, if I would have accepted the pickle juice, I still be drinking pickle juice to this day.

[Monet X Change]

But you know what? You had a rotisserie chicken and some vodka. You didn't have pickle juice.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I was like, we are not all eating, y'. All. Four. Four dancers, grown ass men who are dancing, moving, cooking and shaking. Me and Monet and Two Face now. Patty and Kennedy, they can live off scraps. No, I'm kidding. But everybody else was. That was a wild scenario. You know, I'm actually really proud that I said it for myself and I think I did the right thing.

[Monet X Change]

And then. What's your excuse for you berating our promoters in the UK for something that you don't even eat? I did not see you have a single banana or a single protein shake that entire tour. You did it just on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Now. That is not full alone.

[Monet X Change]

I didn't see it. I don't know what you do on your own time. I didn't see it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's a falsehood. So what happened? Anyone who knows me, I drink a protein shake at pretty much every gig I do. Especially. Especially once I try one.

[Monet X Change]

I've done a lot of gigs with you, and I don't. Are you doing one now? This is a gig. Are you drinking a protein shake now?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I had one before.

[Jacob]

No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Jacob, hand me the protein, baby. Hand me the protein shake that I just drank. Yeah, because it takes a lot of energy to put up with you. So. Yeah, I just had a protein shake.

[Monet X Change]

No, you did.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's a lot of energy.

[Monet X Change]

That's Jacobs, that's Jacob. I want to see, AKA proof that I want to see your. I want to do a little DNA swab and see whose fucking saliva was on that thing. I know it was Jacob. So it wasn't yours.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So the one in the UK I believe we're in Manchester. And I had had it. I was at my woods end because I asked for these fucking bananas. I asked for four bananas and a protein shake.

[Monet X Change]

No, not a protein shake, a pack of protein. Bob wanted, like, multiple protein shakes. Like six.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, it was one protein shake, a pack of four bananas. It was multiple bananas in the show.

[Monet X Change]

Let me call Andrew.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Multiple bananas, one shake. And I showed up. I showed up and my bananas. And Torgi had eaten my bananas.

[Monet X Change]

So that's not the promoter's fault.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I said, well, why did you put my bananas? I said, why did you. Can you bring them to me? So this is one day. I said, well, can you bring them to me so they don't get eaten? Second day, they put them back on the table again. Third, Sergi ate my bananas again.

[Monet X Change]

And Georgie was making up for lost time from season eight. For all you did to her on season eight, her trauma.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it wasn't a protein shake. He got me a milkshake or something else, and he was buff and he said, I don't know what a protein shake is. And I said, you know what a protein shake is? I said, your big muscly ass know what a protein shake is.

[Monet X Change]

Wow. So y' all see how Bobby. Let me tell you something, dude.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If I would've accepted pickle juice, I would still be drinking pickle juice to this day.

[Monet X Change]

Bob's way where he don't get his order right, honey? Cause Bob will take his. I will let you have it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Are you familiar with Nicki Minaj's pickle juice speech? Of course.

[Monet X Change]

When she had the pink wig on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I'm Nicki Minaj. Yeah, bitch. I'm not drinking pickle juice. You can drink pickle juice, honey.

[Monet X Change]

That's just a good way to go about things. Vom. To really, you know, elicit the response that you are.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nigga, shut the fuck up. If you don't sit, do not sit and act like you are the queen of being like. I just believe in Bubba. Let me tell you right now, I pretty much. Wherever I go, every set I've ever worked on, I have a shining reputation with pretty much every place I've every. Every bar I've worked at, every set I've been on, everything I've ever done.

[Monet X Change]

Let's call Robert from Boots and Saddle and see what he has to say. Let's call Robert from Boots and Saddle. Let's see what Robert has to say.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I bet you Robert would be like, bob was a remarkable employee.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, anyone Luis and see what Luis has to say.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Luis loves me. Luis loves me. There is not a single former employee of mine, employer of mine or set I've been on that you can call that will have a. That will have a. A even a sketch of a negative thing to say about me.

[Monet X Change]

I know.

[Jacob]

What about the smoothie place?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What about what?

[Jacob]

The smoothie place.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Uh huh.

[Monet X Change]

The smoothie place.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I haven't talked to her in a long time, but I bet a dollar she'd admit she was wrong today.

[Monet X Change]

I know for a fact, Elliot Paige, honey, because in the circles that I traveled, I've heard about you and Elliot Paige.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

How. How.

[Monet X Change]

How your behavior was on set. So. And you know, I'm not. I'm not gonna embarrass you on this podcast, so it is what it is. You trying the tea.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You trying to create beef with me and Elliot Paige is. What it really is, is just you trying to deflect from the fist fight that you and Shay had where she whooped up on you on All Stars, which Shay has confirmed on Twitter, by the way.

[Monet X Change]

Let me tell you something. Listen you. Everyone knows that's fabricated Elliot Paige. That is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Shay confirmed it.

[Monet X Change]

She confirmed it. Elliot Page as it's how rude you were late and how not remembering your line.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know what?

[Monet X Change]

Let me. Sasha, let me shut up. Let me shut up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let me know.

[Monet X Change]

Let's talk your business.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm sure that when they.

[Monet X Change]

Let me tell your business.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When they interview Elliot Page about his work on Tales of the City, instead of talking about work with Olympia Dukakis or Laura Linney or working with Armistead Maupin, he was like, let me tell you about Bob the Drag Queen, because

[Monet X Change]

it was egregious, Bob. It was disrespectful to those titans who are on that show. Of course he would, buddy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Shut the fuck up. Shut your ass the hell up.

[Monet X Change]

Robin Theed has. I have the tea on you and

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Robin Theed, honey, Robin Theed also loves me. Elliot Page loves me. Robin Theed loves me. Laura Linney loves me. Madonna loves me. Because I'm a very hard worker. Now, what we do know for sure is that you are very rude to someone and near the bathrooms in Florida. Yeah, your number one fan. Go back and watch the one about Mon's number one fan. What we know for sure. And. And please do not make me.

[Monet X Change]

He deserved that. Deserve that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And whatever you do, do not make me bust back out. Don't make me bust back out. The. If you all ever want a Kiki, I don't know how to find it. It might take me a second, but go to Reddit and there's a thread about me and Monae at Drag Hunt. Oh, the Monet Exchange thread @dragcon UK will. Will go down in history as one of my favorite moments. I remember. I just. I'm starting to hash up old stuff on the podcast. Y' all ever heard me Monet tell all these stories? 10 times, but I just distinctively remember Patty. When I sipped on that baby Patty and Monet scream. It was like. I was like, these. I was like, patty, the Mississippi jumped out. Y' all looked country as hell. Patty and Monet are screaming.

[Monet X Change]

We're not. We're not screaming. Sure, they're screaming.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's not out of anger, but. But you know when country like Terry. No, Terry, y' all still got the. So Monet and Patty are. Instead of, like, coming close and talking about their lunch order, Monet is, like, yelling her lunch order across. But also the. The fans are still in the middle. And then the fan looked at me and was like,

[Monet X Change]

Bobby, I have a shit on. That did not happen. Bob is such a liar.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is no exaggeration. If I. I might spend a few seconds trying to find this thread again, but this shit. The way that. Sibling Riverly got Monat together.

[Monet X Change]

Well, since we're talking about food today, what is your favorite LA place to go? Did you like to go. What's your favorite LA place that you have been to, or you like to go eat?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

To be honest, it's nothing fancy. I really. My favorite place to eat here is. I will go eat at fucking Dave's Hot Chicken. I never had.

[Monet X Change]

I've seen a few of them. There are, like, multiple. There's like, Dave's Hot Chicken, Carl's Hot Chicken, but it's also always the same logo. Is it a chain?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, it's only Dave's.

[Sponsor/Advertisement Voice]

They're.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're all different brands. I think that they're all just kind of, like, knocking each other off to try to, like, get a little bit of a. I think they're all just, like, trying to, like, inspired by each other, but I think that I don't know which one's first, the chicken or the egg or the Dave's. The hot or the chicken. But Dave's Hot Chicken is great. It is just.

[Monet X Change]

Is it spicy?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It can be. They come in. They come in hot, mild, medium, like, very, very hot. It is absolutely great.

[Monet X Change]

I. I want to try it. I haven't been. I haven't been to it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I Found. I found. I found your. Can I read this, y'? All? More time. Meet and greet. My favorite part. Divina gave me the biggest hug. Gosh, I love her. Blah, blah, blah. It goes on and on, on and on. Bob and Monae were in the same booth. Bob was really friendly.

[Monet X Change]

Me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Meanwhile, Monet was over it. She looked at me dead in the

[Monet X Change]

eyes, and it was uncomfortable. Yeah. Don't forget it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This one said. Oh, my God. I had the same experience with Silver Rivalry. I was really. Bob was really friendly, talking about my drag and sassing me a bit. Whereas Monet just looked so bored and everything felt like it was.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, that's because it was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hey, yeah. True girl. Bob was amazing and seemed genuinely nice. She was conversing with fans a lot. With fans. And true. With Monet, she wasn't that interested in the fans.

[Monet X Change]

Cause don't forget, it was a labor. And not one of love. Just a labor.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I was waiting for my turn. I was watching both of them with amazement. Cause my first DragCon and noticed Monet was over it with most of the fans. It was so awkward. Really is the Queen.

[Monet X Change]

Cause you know why? Cause all of those. Cause back then, all those hoes were Trinity fans. I wanted to let them know that I'm not your queen. Trinity's your queen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Do you think you were in a bad mood?

[Monet X Change]

No. I knew they were Trinity fans.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

In all honesty, do you think you're in a bad. Cause I've had moments where I've just been in a mood, and I'll try to whip it together. I remember one time my mom got shot, and I found out I had to go to a meet and greet, and I went to a meet and greet.

[Monet X Change]

Well, that was crazy, because you didn't even go. I mean, I get. I know there's nothing you can do in a moment, but if my mom got shot, I would. Like. I would.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe.

[Monet X Change]

I don't know. Maybe in a situation. Cause in that exact moment, like, what can you do? It's not like you're gonna get airlifted from where you are to where she is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, I was told that she was fine and that she had just. All she had was a broken nose. From the cause, to anyone listening, the bullet passed through two cars. Her car was a third car. So by the time it got to her, it went through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 window shields or something. Something like that. I may be slightly fucking up the numbers, but it went through. It traveled through a lot of glass, and then it hit her glasses, and it broke. Her nose snapped her glasses in half. But I remember getting the information, like, as I was like going to the lobby and they were like, well, she's fine though. So what I just did was I just changed my flight the next day. Instead of going back to New York, I went to Atlanta and I just went home as soon as I could because it was also at night, there were no flights out. It was like, you know, the shows are like midnight, you know.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, yeah, I guess. Yeah. It's like there are a lot of factors as to, like, how I would react to that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So anyone who saw me at Wilton Manor back in like 2018 or. I'm sure you probably got a really weird version of me at that meet

[Monet X Change]

and greet I was watching.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Was someone in your family shot before the dragcon uk?

[Monet X Change]

Not that I know of. Maybe someone.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh my God.

[Monet X Change]

Someone along in my family. I don't know. I was recently perusing through Netflix last night and bitch, I stumbled upon the documentary about the fundamentalists of Latter Day Saints. Do you know what this is?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know what Latter Day Saints are, but I don't know about the fund. I know a little bit about them because I've been to Mormon country and I. And I learned a little bit about Mormons while working with angels in America. So I know a little bit about fundamentalists, but I've never seen the documentary.

[Monet X Change]

Now, yeah, they're a sect of the Mormon Church that they believe in polygamy and like, because the Mormon Church outlawed it in the 1940s or something like that. Anyway, the fundamentalists, they still believe in it and it is crazy. And I was just like sitting there just mad at seeing like how religion really be having niggas out here doing crazy ass shit and believing this shit that this fucking old ass man was a prophet and that he would never die. And then when he finally did die, because he's a human being, everybody was like, oh, what do we do? And his son assumed a throne and like their whole thing, it is all just this fucking ruse for men to fucking to subjugate women. And they have these women and men believing that the only way to get to heaven, the only way that you can ascend heaven and get your own planet and your own universe, whatever, is to have many wives. The more wives that you have, the more likely it is that you will get a planet and have your own universe and be of this and then somebody.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So what about the wives? Do the wives get a planet?

[Monet X Change]

I was saying they were like, what happened to the women? They're like, they were all like, we haven't thought that far. I'm like, so the. Like what? Like, so the only thing in life is just to be someone's wife. And the fact that. And I get it, like, when you're indoctrinated, when you're indoctrinated into this stuff, it is hard to see the forest of the trees. You like, it's all, you know, they strip away knowledge so that you only are digesting this stuff and it's your only realm of thinking. Like, you can't think critically because this is the only way you know how to think. It's the only truth that you know. But these, I mean, I'm like, I just feel so bad for these women because they're just stuck. These like little girls who get married to these grown ass men at 13, 14 years old. It's like I was just bawling at my fist, wanting to like, jump through the TV and fucking fall fight these old white niggas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I have a lot of thoughts about religion and I know I've shared my anger and vitriol toward organized religion on this podcast and I will never stop doing it. Whenever I have the opportunity and it feels appropriate, I will do it because it's really hard. I was recently filming an episode of We're Here and this, like, religious protester came up to us and was like, in our faces. And he kept being like, well, well, you know, well, we're all Christians. And I was like, I'm not a Christian. He was like, but you believe in God. And I was like, I don't believe in God. He was like, but you believe there's a higher power. I was like, I don't believe there's a higher power. He's like, but you believe. But you believe you have a spirit. I was like, I don't believe I have a spirit I like. So you, like, none of your tricks are going to work on me. You keep trying to find new way, like, new little tricks to like, none of it works. I don't believe in any of that. None of your tricks will work. I don't believe anything you believe. Then he and Eureka are going, eureka is. Eureka is a Christian, but I'm not a Christian. And. And I was like, girl, I'm not. I don't want to hear any of your little stories. I don't believe anything you're saying. None of it's going to work on me. I will not be had or bamboozled by you in your tomfoolery.

[Monet X Change]

In your.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Your little. So when you. When you tell them you. You're a Christian too, then they're like. Then they started talking about their Bible. And I was like, well, what about people who don't believe in the Bible, Mary? Huh?

[Monet X Change]

Shanta's a Christian. I mean, I don't know. I'm just assuming Shanta and Eureka are both Christians, right? Right.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. So it's just me and two Christians traveling America. I really feel like to be a queer Christian, you have to have some level of cognitive dissonance. You just have to. Am I humble?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. That's probably some quirky listening right now. But, like, you have to just kind of just be cool, being like, well, not that, but that doesn't apply to me. They didn't mean me on that one.

[Monet X Change]

There's this woman on TikTok, and she's a pastor or you know what? She's a Bible scholar. And she. Her whole TikTok is devoted to explaining why organized religion is fucking dumb and how the Bible has been translated and interpreted into what it is now. And she's like. She's like, all this shit about homosexuality and et cetera. Xyz. She's like, that shit does not exist. It was not in the Bible. Literally. No one fucking said that. She's like, that is not a thing. She's like, they have. They. The new international version. She's like, if you go down to, like, what the. Like the main book, like, the original fucking text that they have, which, you know, if you research and research and if you're a Bible scholar and you went to school for this, I'm sure you have access to this stuff. She's like, it says nothing about homosexuality. It says nothing about any of this stuff. He's like, these are just old fucking men just putting their own agendas in this book. You know what I mean? And it's just like. I'm like, well, yeah, but it's like. And it's so crazy to see how people nowadays, especially with what's going on in our country and how they may be trying to overturn sodomy laws and everything to women's bodies and stuff like that. Like, how even with all this knowledge, people knowing this stuff, people knowing that this has been interpreted in such a disgusting way to further their agenda, that people still believe it. That's the crazy part.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

To me, I don't believe in any kind of religious stuff, but if there's any witches out there who want to do a spell on Clarence Thomas. And like, you know, I don't know, like, like a, like a, maybe some sort of a. I'm like, I'm not going to say heart attack spell, but, you know, heart attack spell.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, I want to say something, but I don't know how. I don't know if I can say it on the podcast.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We put that, can we even put that in the podcast?

[Monet X Change]

That's what I'm saying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't think we can.

[Monet X Change]

They probably have to cut it out. So something was cut out that I said that is probably illegal for me to say. I'm gonna get in trouble. So we cut it out if it is. I don't know if it made it or not anyway. But people are saying that like, but what's so crazy to me, Bob, and what really angers me, what really vexes me is that the Republicans say what you want about them. The conservatives say whatever you want. They are so strategic and smart and playing the long game so that they're effective in the long game. They play. They're like, they're playing this game of chess like 30 moves ahead. And bitch, the left Democrats, we're playing point for point, blow for blow. They are planning shit away so far in the future so that when they get to that point, they can pass laws, they can do things so that they are maintaining the power structure. And they are. And that democracy is bending to their will.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know, the issue. The reason why is because the calling me for. I'll call in a second. The reason why is because the Republicans are really on. They're, they're, they're pretty much on one accord. They are one band, one sound.

[Monet X Change]

They are one band, one sound.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They are really willing to, they're willing to put their differences aside to get the thing they want. And I feel like with the Democrats, we are actively pursuing seven different agendas. We're all trying to play 30 steps ahead, but the steps are negating each other's on different games. And all I see online right now is people being like, it's just a lot of like, reading of, like a lot of leftist people really reading the left part of politics. And I'm like, we're going to get. I'm really not helpful for November and even, even, even less hopeful for 2024 because I'm afraid of what it's going to be. And, and I'm not advocating for anyone to like, give up. I'm not advocating for anyone to give up their, their other ideals, but I think it's fair to say that everyone can get everything they want, and we have to compromise on something. And for some reason, this party feels like it's not doing a great job at compromising right now.

[Monet X Change]

Well, what it is that all of us, who, especially people who didn't vote before, who people weren't going to vote, they said what happened in 2016. So people came out in record numbers to secure the bag for Joe Biden and Joe Biden to win and the Democratic Party to maintain as much power in as many branches of government as possible. Right. But we have seen people like your

[Bob the Drag Queen]

homegirl making it rough. Who, Bunny?

[Monet X Change]

My homegirl? Well, I was gonna say so, like, so a lot of people have lost faith in the Democratic Party, and it's because we did all this stuff and we tried to do all these things, and nothing has changed. And again, we get it that Biden is not a supreme ruler. He can't just wave a wand and make things change. We get that. But it's like, y' all are like, you campaign on doing all these things that. That you could try to do to further the Democratic agenda, and none of it is happening. And I get it. They propose many bills also on the congressional floor. Well, here's the thing. I know they proposed a lot of things on the congressional floor and in the Senate that fail because Republicans are blocking it. But here's where I go back to the Republicans. Every time the Republicans try to pass something or do something, they let it be known we know everything they're trying to do. The Democratic Party is so bad at messaging. And yes, if they are trying to do these things, bitch let us know we have no idea all these bills that they are trying to pass and all the things they're trying to pass because they're really bad at messaging. Whether we're. As the Republicans, they are good at letting us know everything that they're doing. And if we.

[Jacob]

Who are.

[Monet X Change]

Who had the power to vote, to us, it looks like the Democrats aren't doing nothing when they are trying to do a lot of things, but they're getting stopped. But we don't know. So we can't govern ourselves accordingly because what it looks like to us is that they're doing nothing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, but I think the problem is because, like what you just said, instead of all the stuff all people sit here is like they've done nothing, which is not true. That is not a true statement. That is a complete falsehood. The notion that. That Democrats have done nothing for the past two years is a complete.

[Monet X Change]

When I say nothing is a little hyperbole. We know the infrastructure. We know all. There are a lot of great bills they pass. But again, they come back to messaging. A lot of people who get the news on TikTok, on Twitter, we don't know this stuff. Like, we don't know. And they have to realize that who the people who are voting, the young people that they want to come out in droves. That's where they get the news on TikTok, on Instagram, on Twitter. So you need to. The Democrats need to figure out a way to make their messaging stronger so that we know what has passed. If you were to poll 20 young people at Richard, they have no idea. But we know what the Republicans have done. We know exactly what they're trying to do, but we don't know what the Democrats have done, are trying to do well.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I think maybe part of that is because it is such a heavy. It has been such a heavy news cycle. You know what I mean? And if you. So there's a website called politifacts. And if you go to politifacts, you can see a tracker of promises, kept promises, broken promises that are in. In the mix. And that way you can, you can see this, the difference between this idea that, that the Democrats are doing nothing, which I don't think is true. And I think that there's. Because that makes it seem like people got into power and just sat on their thumbs, which I do not think is what happened. And then increase this narrative within the Democratic Party and people who are left that everyone in the government is against us. There's this idea that everyone, everywhere you look is against us. And to me, that sounds a lot like what Trump was spinning. Everyone's against you, everyone's against you, everyone's against you. You know what I mean? And I do not think that every single person working in politics is against. Is against

[Monet X Change]

us. Yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree for sure. But, you know, it is really when you see, when we know that they, like, for example, Sotomayor's clerk leaked the thing about. Sotomayor's clerk leaked the news about them trying to overturn Roe v. Wade. We had that information a few months back. Like where. How we like us looking to our representatives and our senators and our politicians on the left side, we were looking for them to tell us how do we mobilize and maybe try to cut it off? Or how do we. What can we do, knowing what's coming, what can we do to prevent that? And I mean, maybe there were things that came out of how we could. But I, you know what I mean? I'm not a politician that could have been taken to prevent this from happening.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, true. I'm not a politician. So I do not know how easy it would have been to block this from happening. But what I do know is

[Jacob]

if

[Bob the Drag Queen]

it ever goes to vote, there's no way to. It'd be very hard to make it not get struck and down because of the way the Supreme Court is and them having the votes to make sure that we do not have like when it comes to stuff like that. And if, if gay marriage comes up, it's going to be really hard to have it stand. It stand itself because of the way there are so many conservative people sitting

[Monet X Change]

on the Supreme Court justices.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. So I don't think it is just that this easy. Like he should have just done it. I don't know why Kamala and Biden didn't just go and make it get done. I don't think it is that easy.

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know, I mean, we had two chances before to codified under Clinton, under Obama, whatever. And yeah, there was a Republican majority, but back then, as opposed to now where we see the Republican Party is so left and they're so extreme. Back then we may have had Republicans like the John McCain's and those who were willing to participate to have bipartisan support. And so we never know. So we may not have. There was one time that they did try. It didn't go through, but we had two other chances that we could. So it's like maybe it would not have passed, maybe it would not have codified, but we did not even try when we had those other chances. You know what I mean? So it's like we may have missed the window of codifying this thing those two times passed, you know, but we just didn't try because there were too many Republicans. Well, bitch, we don't know until we try. Yes, we'll fail, but what we, we lose out regardless. We lose out if we don't try. We lose out if they try and they fail. But at least we tried. You know what I mean? So things like that, I don't know

[Bob the Drag Queen]

all the rules around what like I think that, I think I know for a fact. I do not know all the rules and the laws around and the procedures around something like that. It is very easy for me, but what I do know is that it's very easy to. To get people disenfranchised and not want to engage in the process of democracy. And because the Right. Because of the. The win of Joe Biden. They were so upset and so outraged. They are now going to be voting in the biggest numbers ever. I mean, the big issue with last season was that Trump kept trying to make mail in ballots seem invalid, so therefore his people weren't mailing in ballots. And then he ended up losing by, like, a bunch of mail in ballots, you know?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Which was his. Which is a huge mistake on his behalf, in my opinion. But again, I'm not a politician. I'm a fucking comedian. I don't pretend to know a lot about. I don't pretend to know everything about politics. I don't pretend to be. I'm not John Lovett. This is not. This is not a political podcast. If you want that kind of stuff, There's. There are lots of people out there. I'm gonna recommend you go to a news source that you trust or get the information. But I do. I am a little bit saddened by the. What feels like the left is just, like, losing steam and feels like we don't have anyone for us which feels. Which. Which could reflect poorly in voting.

[Jacob]

Sure.

[Monet X Change]

And those feelings by leftist people are valid. And, you know, people feel a little hopeless right now, but it really does. It is on us. I mean, if you want to be the change in this country, you got to be for yourself. So, yeah, it may seem really glum and you feel, like, hopeless, but bitch, you can't fucking lose hope because then it's a rap lifestyle.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. We have to keep voting, like, no matter what. We have to keep going out and voting. You have to. And I'm seeing stuff online encouraging people to, like, not vote. Like, what's the point? Like, there's no. There's no.

[Sponsor/Advertisement Voice]

There's no.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're not doing. No. What's the point? We're not. We're not engaging in a. What's the point of voting. Not me. Let me rephrase that. I'm not engaging with people who are like, well, what's the point in voting? Like, it is our strongest tool that we have is voting.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Am I boring you? So does democracy bore you?

[Monet X Change]

That's not new. You always born me, but it doesn't change the fact that you're just yawning. Talking to you. Yes, I am. All right, we did it. We did another podcast. Am I done now? Okay, good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You guys want to be. Where you going?

[Monet X Change]

To mind my fucking business. What are you doing?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's the evening. What are we doing this afternoon? You're wild. You're so also, you're full of shit. You just told us. You just told us last episode during the sibling watchery that we would never have to see this mess behind you again. You told us that by the next time we see you.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God, you're so annoying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You told us.

[Monet X Change]

All right, all right.

[Jacob]

So the watchery that we filmed first is actually gonna be on Monday. Yeah, next Monday. And this episode we're filming right now is gonna be out Wednesday.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, y', all. Jacob just gathered this bald headed black. What I did know is hairs on a baby's head. That's what he gathered. You.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What I know is this next time we see you, I bet I see that raggedy ass $2 shoe shelf behind you.

[Monet X Change]

$2. You bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's what I know.

[Monet X Change]

$100.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, wow.

[Monet X Change]

Wow. Bob, this, like, the flaunting of your wealth is really not. First the promoters, now I. I have to. I can't do this podcast anymore. Jacob, thank you for. I'm going to log off. I'm good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ridiculous. Goodbye, everyone.
