Episode Overview

This episode was supposed to focus on listener advice, but as usual, the “sibling” energy between Bob and Monét, their spontaneous riffing, and unfiltered banter run the show. They oscillate between advice, pop culture, Blackness in America and abroad, skincare, and even existential space science. True to form, the episode beautifully blends sharp insight, personal storytelling, and relentless hilarity, delivering both genuine wisdom and pure entertainment.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Advisory Disclaimer & Movie Night Chaos

[01:36 – 06:55]

• Setting the Tone: The hosts remind listeners, in their trademark witty style, that their advice is just for entertainment, not to be taken as clinical or expert guidance.

  • Bob: “We are not doctors...not even a little bit...Do not take any of this seriously.” (02:05)

• Movie Length Rants: They recap their night out watching “Avatar: The Way of Water,” spiral into a debate on unnecessarily long blockbusters, and joke about the “Sibling Rivalry” movie being only 27-37 minutes (“still charging full price”).

  • Monét: “We promise you all that the Sibling Rivalry movie will be about 37 minutes long. And we're still charging full price.” (05:40)
  • Bob: “Now you done added 10 minutes. All right, Bob Snyder.” (05:47)
  • *Mutual ribbing about who ‘carries’ their “movie.”

• Slapstick Reminiscence: The pair relive a chaotic “mercy” arm-wrestling match in a movie theater lobby, teasing Jacob (their producer).

2. First Listener Question – Setting Boundaries in Friendship

[08:42 – 14:24]

• Question: Malcolm asks how to handle a long-term friend who seems disrespectful and careless with his feelings.
• Monét: Champions honest, clear communication: “With best friends and good friends, you want to set that...with all of my besties, I have that with all of them. I talk to them very openly and very freely.” (10:09)
• Bob: Emphasizes the necessity that “it’s on you to set boundaries,” noting that friends may not realize they're crossing a line if you’ve never spoken up.
  • “If you allow someone to do something...and never let them know it's bothering you, it's on you more than it's on them to adjust that...” (12:05)
• Advice: It’s never too late to establish boundaries—even after years of friendship. Yes, it may feel awkward, but is vital for healthy dynamics.
  • “You've let this go on for five years, bitch. Five years and one month...now you are setting that boundary.” (13:34)

---

3. Second Listener Question – Shaving & Skincare for Black Queens

[15:10 – 24:13]

• Question: Lala Benet asks for shaving/skincare advice for Black people with coarse, coily hair, prone to razor bumps.
• Monét: Shares her shaving journey—struggles with traditional razors/foils, now uses a Wahl mustache trimmer as it’s gentler on sensitive skin. Personalizes technique (“my cheeks and my neck bump easily”), shares the necessity of customizing routines.
  • “I cannot use a razor. I cannot use a foil. I cannot use a circular shaver. I have to use a mustache trimmer for everything.” (17:05)
• Bob: Echoes the trauma (“shaving as a black man with coarse, coily hair is, bitch, traumatizing”), reveals his regimen: barbershop “T-outliner,” then a foil, finished with “Tend Skin Solution” to prevent bumps/ingrowns.
  • “I go in with what Bob can't use, one of the foils, and I go again on top...looks like I use a straight razor....Then after that, I use 10 Skin.” (19:00)
  • Recommends laser hair removal (“10 times less painful than a tattoo”) if accessible.
• Skincare Banter: Comedic jabs at each other about baldness and routines lighten up the topic.

4. Pop Culture & Blackness – The N-Word, Demographics & TikTok Trends

[24:17 – 38:46]

• Fight Videos & the N-Word: Monét observes how commonly the N-word is used in school fight videos, not just by Black students but even by white teens, which Bob finds unsurprising in multicultural settings like NYC but less common in Monét's all-Black school. Both muse on how identity, region, and ‘passes’ for language shift contextually.
• Discussion on Black Population Worldwide: Monét quizzes Bob on which country has the most Black people (answer: USA), then runs demographics of Haiti, Brazil, Colombia and Caribbean nations.
  • Bob: “St. Kitts and Nevis. 98% of the country is black.” (31:11)
  • Both are surprised by low populations in some Caribbean countries.
• Anecdotes: Both laughing about never having heard of “Dominica” (the country) and comparing U.S. vs global Blackness.

---

5. Listener Question – Workplace Anxiety & Internal Critique

[38:48 – 46:46]

• Question: A graphic designer confesses to being his own harshest critic at work, struggling to balance ambition with self-confidence.
• Monét: Opens up about her own imposter syndrome while prepping for an opera gig after a decade away from music studies. She urges “allow yourself space to be great”—that self-criticism can stifle growth and gratitude.
  • “You have to allow yourself and give yourself space to be great...you're not allowing yourself space to be great and to be fierce.” (41:04, 42:31)
• Bob: “I live in the land of delusion.” Shares the power of encouragement from family—“my mom has assured me that I am better than everyone and I'm very good at everything.” Reminds listeners to break cycles of self-sabotage, especially for the next generation.
  • “You have the opportunity to break the cycle...by lifting them up and letting them know they are really, really good at [things].” (45:51)

---

6. Tangents: TikTok Trends, Death Hoaxes & Celebrity Loss

[45:10 – 50:54]

• Fake Celebrity Deaths: The hosts riff on the viral TikTok “your favorite celebrity is dead” prank, swap ideas about which names would devastate their mothers and themselves, and reflect on cultural icons whose losses would really hit home (Whoopi, Mary J. Blige, Judge Mathis, RuPaul, Liza Minnelli, Rihanna, SZA, Cher, etc).
• Bob: “If RuPaul died, I’d be a mess.” (50:51)

---

7. Black Mirror & the Existential Dread of Eternal Life

[51:27 – 56:38]

• Monét describes a Black Mirror episode about consciousness, time perception, and punishment: “...you think it’s been three years but for them it’s only been five minutes. That sounds terrifying.” (54:33)
• Bob and Monét muse on the exhaustion of eternal life: “Living forever...I want to cease to exist at some point.” (56:17)

---

8. Space, Science, and Astrophilosophy

[56:42 – 62:16]

• They geek out about new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (“like putting a PS5 in the sky”), the mind-blowing distances of habitable planets, and the impossibility of reaching them.
• Monét: “The Sun is 8 light-minutes away...and it would take us under a year with our technology to get there and be incinerated...” (59:06)
• Bob expresses skepticism about planetary habitability findings, comedically demanding that designers whip up “super hot suits” for Mars.

---

9. Climate, Thanos, Overpopulation, and Factory Farming

[62:16 – 66:15]

• Thanos was Kind of Right? Monét admits to sometimes agreeing with Thanos’ “reduce half the population” logic as a way to save the planet. Both reflect on how Marvel’s villain wasn’t acting out of bias, just (darkly) cosmic pragmatism.
• Factory Farm Real Talk: Details about chicken farming, how male chicks are immediately killed post-birth because they can’t lay eggs, and broader commentary on human dominion and cruelty in food production.
• Bob: “Why roosters?”
  Monét: “Because they can’t lay eggs...people don’t eat roosters...they have no value.” (65:15 – 65:57)

---

10. Going Vegan, Twitter Bits & Daughter Drama

[66:15 – End]

• Bob’s Vegan Challenge: Bob announces he and Andy will try a month of veganism. Monét jokes about Bob’s prior plant-based series being a “free food” ploy.
• Who Said It First: The duo argue, in true “sibling rivalry,” about who originated a tweet on vegans offering “smokin’ nuggets.”
• Mentor/Mentee Banter: The show closes with tongue-in-cheek accusations about stealing material, drag family mentorship, and which of them truly “profits” from the partnership.

• On celebrity loss:
  • Bob: “If RuPaul died, I’d be a mess.” (50:51)

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hey y', all, it's Monet X change.

[Monet X Change]

My name is Bob the Drag Queen and this is Sibling Advisory. Now listen, we know that we are not doctors.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not even a little bit.

[Monet X Change]

We're not therapists. We are not psychologists.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We don't know much about algebra.

[Monet X Change]

Psychiatrists. If you need advice, please go to your doctor, your rabbi, your priest, your shaman, your teacher, your psych, your therapist. This is just for entertainment purposes only.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. Everything we're saying is, is for use in this podcast only. Do not take this as sound advice. Do not to take into the world to remedy your issues. If you have. Do not take any of this seriously. This is for entertainment purposes only. And we don't want anyone to feel like we are diagnosing them, that we can give them a prognosis on life.

[Monet X Change]

So with that in line, let's get into some advisory. Amy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I know you see me coming Cause I'm thick. I got that. Oh, hell no. You can get this at the store. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I just keep writing these songs. They just. Cause he just keep doing me wrong. Did you watch the Lizzo documentary on hbo?

[Monet X Change]

I've not watched it yet.

[Jacob]

Have you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So good. I love Lizzo.

[Monet X Change]

Me too. I gotta check it out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What a sweet, sweet lady. She's great.

[Monet X Change]

I've been.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bob.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, dear.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We hung out last night. Finally. If I didn't suggest we hang out. It would never have happened anyway. We saw Avatar. Way of the aeration of the air. How did you feel about it?

[Monet X Change]

The aeration of the way of water. You know, I feel like it's a good movie. I do not think the movie needed to be that long.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's ever since Lord of the Rings. Like, movies feel the need. I mean, obviously, there are some long moves before.

[Monet X Change]

That is a. That's a bold statement.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, film. Film people, like, agree, like, yes, there have been long movies before, but since the Lord of the Rings trilogies, often. More oftentimes than not, movies are exceeding like, a. A very large amount. Like, like over two hours.

[Monet X Change]

It's more often than most movies are over two hours.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, Often, Yes.

[Monet X Change]

Like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like every. Like. Okay, every. Most blockbusters, like, you think of, like, all these Marvel movies, all of, like, they are always exceeding two hours every time. Not a single one is under two hours.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, the blockbusters, I will give you the blockbusters are very, very long.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I'm like, Avatar, it could have. The movie runs 3 hours and 12 minutes. I think it could have been 2 hours and 30 minutes.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, I guess so credit that. How long is the Zack Snyder cut?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, that's five hours.

[Monet X Change]

Like, five.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I forgot about that Zack Snyder thing. That's too much.

[Monet X Change]

Is it really five hours?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I believe so.

[Monet X Change]

And, like, were people into it? It's four. It's four hours and two minutes. You just throwing out numbers. You just say a number. 37 hours.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Forgiveness. Forgive me for the extra hour. 4 hours is insane to sit down and watch a movie.

[Monet X Change]

In terms of a movie, an hour is a lot to add. I will say this. If it would have been. If you would have added 10 minutes, that'd be one thing. But in terms of movie runtime, an hour is a lot to add. But four hours is an incredibly long movie.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's crazy. I'm not interested in.

[Monet X Change]

How long was the original Justice League.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think it's like two and a half to about two and a half, I believe.

[Monet X Change]

And, like, when they say Zack Snyder cut, is this what he tried to turn in? And they were like, you can't do this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

Were they like, no, it was two hours. He had an extra. He was like, this is what I wanted to do. Zach, calm down. Yeah, that's crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's a long movie. But, yeah, it was you.

[Monet X Change]

We promised you all that. The sibling rivalry movie will be about 37 minutes long. And we're still charging full Price, in

[Bob the Drag Queen]

our last meeting, we said 27. Now you done added 10 minutes. All right, Bob Snyder.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, 15 minutes. Deal.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, great.

[Monet X Change]

And Monet's gonna have to do most of the scenes. I have 30 minutes of filming. Monet will fill out the rest. It's about time she pulled her weight around here. Let's put it that way.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, Monet's gonna fill it in about how Monet pulls her weight. The fat jokes, they've got to stop. They've got to stop.

[Monet X Change]

It's the Weightlifting Joe's. You and your little powerlifting boyfriend. Which, by the way, last night, in the lobby of the movie theater, I guess Monet and her little boyfriend had been working on some little plans to. No, I did not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I did not. That was completely unprompted. I did not know Andy was gonna do that.

[Monet X Change]

Andy was like, let's play mercy again. And Monet was hyping him up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Monet starts filming, talking about some world star. Monat's like, yeah, yeah, he's about to get you. He's about to get you. Anyway, Andy got broke down, literally, to the ground.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Me and Andy, it felt like, you know that meme of that white boy rapping and that other white boy, Like, I felt like that was me.

[Monet X Change]

Andi got beat again in the lobby,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

and Jacob was there sitting in the corner, shaking like potato. That's what Jacob was doing. Jacob was a little potato.

[Monet X Change]

Honey, first of all, the reason why I beat Andy so easily this time was because Jacob gave him the business right beforehand. We didn't film that part. Jacob.

[Lala Benet]

Jacob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, conveniently so. We forgot to film that part. Got it.

[Monet X Change]

Jacob. When I say Jacob was working Andy up, down, back and forth around that movie lobby, Jacob slammed his head.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob. Jacob couldn't work a kindergartner around that lobby. Okay?

[Monet X Change]

Slam. It's pronounced lobby.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wow.

[Monet X Change]

Robbie Turner. Wow. Triggered. He said, Robbie. Robbie Turner. My season. You know how sensitive we are about Robbie Turner my season.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob couldn't work a first grader up a flight of stairs.

[Monet X Change]

So, please, first girl. Well, then I guess Andy's in kindergarten because Jacob worked him out. Honey, she works hard for the money.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, Bob, we can't do this. This is an advisory. Last night, we had advisory plans, and we. And you derailed us. Cause, everyone, thank you for all you guys, our loyal, faithful listeners and watchers who always see me trying to keep us on beat and vav is just. Thank y', all, but we can't do that today.

[Monet X Change]

First of all, step one, shut the Fuck up. Let's start with step one, all right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Dua, lipa.

[Monet X Change]

Step two. First of all, why is that? Dua, lipa.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

One, zigong, got the phone. Gonna get the COVID Gotta drink.

[Monet X Change]

Get a lot. Yeah. One, shut the up. Don't know about what you're talking about. And two, stop with the kiki. Monet. Monet be swearing up and down that everybody's monation. Monet swears up and down.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't say that. I did not say that. I did not say that.

[Monet X Change]

Well, hey, make sure you never say it, because we know that's not true. Jacob, let's start with the first question.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, Jacob. Now we can start with the first question.

[Malcolm]

Hi, Bob Mone. I'm Malcolm. I'm 20 and I'm from St. Louis. Pronouns are he, they. Feels good to say that. I have been friends with my friend for six years, and we are very close. We're best friends. So I take her feelings and just the state of our relationship into consideration a lot when. When we're speaking to each other. I don't want to mess anything up and have any weird problems. But some. Some issues have came out of that. I think it's. I think there's a lack of respect for me going on here. You know, I feel like she doesn't take a lot of caution when she's speaking to me. She just kind of speaks without really thinking about it or thinking. Thinking about my feelings when she speaks about me. And I would just want to know how you guys would go about that and having that conversation. Thank you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think with friends, especially close friends, whatever. I honestly think creating. Creating like, a safe boundary and a safe space where you guys can honestly express your feelings. And I think that's something that Bob and I have, like, when we feel a certain way, like, we can like, hey, girl, xyz. And we talk about it. I think if you.

[Monet X Change]

If you have.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If you have set up a friendship where that's not the case, then I think now is the time that you do the work. And you started in this moment being like, hey, Rachel, you know, and maybe y' all go out to dinner, y' all go out for some drinks, y' all go out to a park, something where. Where the stakes don't feel, you know, where it doesn't feel crazy, and you just openly express your feelings to them. Cause I think that once you start to try to feel, like, find ways to dance around it and not be very honest and not be forthcoming about how you feel, that's when you give the space to muddy the waters, and you give space to not truly let them hear how you're feeling. So I think just having open communication and be honest about your feelings is the best way. Because with best friends and good friends, you want to set that like you want to have. With all of my besties, I have that with all of them. I talk to them very openly and very freely. And I always feel safe. Whether I know I might be being an asshole, maybe I know I might be being selfish, maybe when I know I might be feeling, you know, sometimes I know that it's on me, but I know that I have set that parameter up that we. Can you be. Can you not be fucking for real?

[Monet X Change]

Be fucking for real?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can you not be a monster? And so I think you want us. You want to set that up with your friends. Go ahead, Bob.

[Monet X Change]

Don't tell me when to go. I'll go now. Now I'll go. You know, setting boundaries is incredibly important, but I'm also a little bit like, when you're like, you talk to her with care, does that mean there's, like, stuff you want to say to her but you don't say?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think that's what they're saying.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but like, but when you say you talk to her like you do, you mean. Does that mean like, I don't stand up for myself? Or does that mean, like, I want to be shady, but I'm not shady? Because it sounds like she talks to you how the fuck ever she wants. It sounds like she says obviously something to you that you do not appreciate. I don't know. I don't know if she's making jokes. I don't know if she's. I don't know if she's misgendering you. I don't know if she's using the wrong pronouns. I don't know what this lady is. Is doing that is. That's upsetting you in such a manner. You know what I mean? But setting boundaries is very important. And here's the real crazy thing. It's on you to set boundaries. It's really not on the people around you. And I know that sounds like, well, it's your fault, but I'm not saying it's your fault. What I'm am saying is this, like, if you allow someone to do something to you over and over and over again, and you never let them know that it's bothering you, it's on you more than it's on them to adjust that it is your job to say I don't like this. Otherwise, how do they know? They have no way of knowing. Maybe their other friends all do that. You know, whenever I see Monet, I pick her up off the ground and I smack her on the booty. What if Naomi's like, you cannot lift me off the ground and you can't smack me on the booty? Or If Monet, after 10 years, is like, you know what? When you pick me up off the ground, I really don't like that. I'd be like, damn, not 10 years in. Not 10 years in, you know? So even if it feels obvious to you that. That she's being nasty and rude, and even if it feels obvious to all of your friends, maybe she doesn't understand. Maybe she doesn't have the same social cues you have. Maybe she wasn't raised with the same social cues you have. Maybe. Maybe there's a different social norm for her upbringing. You know?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And it's also never too late to set boundaries, right? This is a good friend of yours who kind of talks to you, however, and you want to. And it's been five years. You've let this go on for five years, bitch. Five years and one month. Now you are setting that boundary. And it may be a little awkward at first. She may feel a little upset that you're now letting her know that this bothers you, or you're not letting her know that she's misgendering you, or you're not letting her know that how she. That when she talks to you. Crazy is not cool. And it may be strange, but, I mean, if you want to keep this friendship, this is a friendship that you cherish, something that you want to keep on, that you want to sustain. It's never too late to set that boundary. And as someone who has waited too long to set boundaries with certain people, I can confirm that it can be awkward a little bit. But, you know, it's never too late. Don't think that it's too late if you want to keep that friendship.

[Monet X Change]

Monet. Monet trying to do a bit for y' all right now. Monet trying to act up for the podcast Act Up. You can get smacked up and you acting up.

[Monet X Change]

Jacob, let's go to the next question.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Jacob, next question, please.

[Lala Benet]

Hi, Bobby Monet. What is your advice, tips and or tricks for shaving, particularly as it pertains to melanated folks with coarse, coily hair. You know, black people who are prone to pseudofolliculitis or shave bumps. As black drag queens that shave, I'm curious to know your individual skincare journeys in your shaving and skin care regimens. In other words, how y' all get y' all skin so soft and supple? Sincerely, one drag queen to another. Lala Benet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I like that name. Lala Beneige. Oh, la la Binay is French. Oui, oui.

[Monet X Change]

Enchante. Ze sui la jeune fille solo un poco. The last part was Spanish. I know. Ichinisan. You know, this is an interesting subject to me because I actually, I was not raised with my father, and I was never taught how to shave. So I learned through trial by fire on how to shave. In fact, the first time I ever shaved, my. My Panamanian friend in college taught me. And when I. Baby, when I taped, my skin got. Got jacked up. And I mean, I think I legit. Think I still have razor bumps from that time. And I was like 18. 17 years old. I'm like, still traumatized, actually. And I'm gonna. I'm gonna let you know in my. In my. In my humble opinion, for me talking.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Keep on talking.

[Monet X Change]

For me, in my skin, I use the.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The.

[Monet X Change]

The. The Wahl Remington tight. No, the Wahl titanium is what I use the. And maybe we can. We can put a picture of it up here. And. This is not a paid advertisement. They have. They've done nothing for us. This is not. This is just me saying, this is the one that I have been using for years.

[Lala Benet]

It.

[Monet X Change]

It. This is for my face. It gets the closest shave I can get without using a foil. Now, I also can't use a foil. Some black folks can like use a foil, and the foil is fine. If I use a foil, meaning the circles or, or the. Either the circles or the one that has like the two grooves. It's still messes up my skin. I cannot use a razor. I cannot use a foil. I cannot use a circular shaver. I have to use a Mustache trimmer for everything. That's why, you know, I always tell folks, if you get real close on me, the shaves, the shave's never that. That tight. So I, I. So I use that and then. And then I lightly go over with the foil sometimes. And I also found out there are certain parts of my face that breaks bump really easily and some that don't. So I found out that my cheeks don't bump easily. No, sorry. I found that my mustache and my chin do not. So I can use a foil on my mustache, on my chin, but I can't use it on my cheeks and on my neck. And it's. And it's different for people. And also your hair changes over the years because one time I shaved my head and it was mudder on the beat, so it was not nice. But then I later, I ended up shaving my head with a foil and end up being fine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Bitch. That's because there's none there anymore.

[Monet X Change]

You. You are genuinely one to talk. Let's get that started, honey.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I can confirm shaving as a black man with coarse, coily hair is bitch. Traumatizing. The first time I ever got in drag, because I. That's what I saw online. You know what I mean? I just. I went to the Rite Aid, the Duane Reade, probably, and I got a razor, Gillette razor, and I got some shaving cream, and I shaved my face. And when I tell you my face freaked the fuck out. I had, like, by the next day, I had these, like, little white bumps all over my face. I was like. I was like, oh, my God, like, I am ruined for the rest of my life. That was common touch.

[Monet X Change]

That was calm.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. It was seeping through my pores. Cause, you know, she was the Bella D bar. Anyway, so then I was like, fuck. So then after that, I tried to do a few different things, but what I found out worked for me was I went. I got a tea outliner. This is like the tea outliner that they use at the barbershop shops to, like, shape people up. I use that to shave my face. Well, this is a little. Normally my hair is never this long. This happens twice a year around the holidays. And I had surgery recently, so that. So I had hair, but when it's not. When it's not normally this long, I just get like a. I use this razor, like, every day, and I shave it with this. And then after that, I come in with what Bob can't use, one of the foils, and I go again on top of the Foil. And I just to get it super, super, super close. And I mean, it looks like I use a straight razor. I found that that works for me. And then as soon as I finish that, I go on with 10 skin. 10 skin solution. It's this. It helps prevent ingrown hairs, razor bumps. And you use. This is what you use after you shave or wax. I put this on my face. It burns a bit. And then I shower, and then after I shower, put a little bit more on. And since then, I have seldom had razor bumps or ingrown hairs where really, really sell them. Also, if you can afford it and if you can find one in your city that, that, that has worked with dark skinned folk, go get laser hair removal. I got, I got laser hair removal from my neck for everywhere down from the bottom of my neck down to my butt. And because the hair doesn't grow there, there's literally no chance of ingrown hairs there because there's not hair. The hair doesn't sprout from those follicles anymore. So if you can't.

[Monet X Change]

That's so painful.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I mean, it's not more. It's not. First of all, it's 10 times less painful than getting a tattoo. You have plenty of those. And it just. What, what, what laser hair removal feels like. So it's like someone's taking like a light rubber band and just be like, plick, plick, plick. It really does not hurt that bad at all. And you get used to it.

[Monet X Change]

Wasn't laser hair removal. The, the video you posted about your skin when Monet was like, I'm gonna.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This was seven years ago. That was when I first got it, like 8.

[Monet X Change]

Monet does this thing where she. Here's the thing about Monet. Monet's a very. Monet's one of the nicest people I know. Monet's a very, very nice person. But sometimes Monet likes to cosplay as a bad bitch. And I don't know why that is, so. I don't know why that's so funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When do they cosplay as a bad bitch?

[Monet X Change]

Monet be like, we'll do this thing where we'll be headed to a restaurant and. And they will have given Monet, like a small amount of attitude over the phone. And Monae would be like, I'm about to make it go. This never happen. It'll be something like this. Mon would be like, I'm about to. When I get up in there, I'm gonna find the. Who was on the Phone. I'm gonna let this have it. You're not gonna. I'm paying all this money for this meal. You're not about to talk to Mon. And then it's like a TV flip. Mon be like. So I just felt a little bit disrespectful on my.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

First of all, and I just want

[Monet X Change]

to make sure that. That I don't know if you are having a bad day or. Or if. Or. Or maybe it was me. It could have been me. It could have been me. But I just want to make sure that everyone's on their best behavior. But in the car, when they be like, when I get to, oh, oh, oh, O'Reilly's Auto Parts is going down.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

First of all, Bob has said many times that I don't invite him to go out to eat. So where are these restaurants that I'm going to with Bob?

[Monet X Change]

I said, I said. I said, I'm making a scenario. And also, we. It's not like we've never been to

[Bob the Drag Queen]

eaten at a restaurant before, maybe twice.

[Monet X Change]

But Monat be like, I'm about to motherfucking let these motherfuckers have it, honey.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know how true that is. Anyway, so that's what I found that has worked for me, and I really think 10 skin between 10 skin and the laser hair removal. Cause I used to get a really bad hair, like, right under my chin. Like, right, like the top of your neck. That's where I used to get it. Really bad. And then so I got laser hair removal there. And but as you know, if anyone out there knows when you get laser hair removal, you know, it doesn't like, stop the hair forever. Like, I still have to go once, maybe twice a year to get it done. So hair still grows there technically, but I don't get razor bumps there anymore. And I think it's a combination of 10 skin and laser hair removal. So if you can. I want to get laser hair removal on my whole head. But the lady was like, we don't do that. I was like, why? It's here. We don't do that.

[Monet X Change]

Well, maybe you have to be a revolutionary in the head laser hair removal. She looked well, she looked at your head and she goes, well, it looks like somebody already did it.

[Malcolm]

Would you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Would you get laser move on?

[Monet X Change]

Somebody already got through this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Would you get laser hair removing your head to just like, so you don't have to shave anymore?

[Monet X Change]

No, I need to.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Really?

[Monet X Change]

Okay. My whole head is like, this is so much hair for my head right now. And I need to shave my head right now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You just got so New York. Did you hear that? You did the schwa at the end of your head. You're like, my head,

[Monet X Change]

my head.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is so much ahead hair for my head.

[Monet X Change]

Is that a New York thing?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Your head?

[Monet X Change]

No, I didn't say head. I didn't say head. You did. I said, this is so different for my head.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No head.

[Monet X Change]

But I'm saying my head. But. Whereas you be like my mother, my fava, my head.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Rob, you said head. I'm telling you. Jay, roll the tape. This nigga said my head.

[Monet X Change]

Well, but hanging out with. Hanging out with you, with your night, with your 5 accent, having ass for the past 10, 11 years has. Has officially rubbed off on me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ms. Mamas, let's do the next question, please.

[Lala Benet]

Thank you.

[Wayfair Announcer]

Wait, wait.

[Monet X Change]

Before you do the next question, I, I think I've mentioned this before on the podcast. I, you know, I like, I watch, I like watching fight videos. Fight porn is one of my favorite subreddits. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is like the ones you should. By the way, if you're watching fight porn, the subreddit fight porn, if it's kickboxing, click off. Because they're, they are always breaking their legs. They. These niggas be kicking and their legs turn into fucking putty. Putty. And that's always. Every kickboxing video is either that or somebody getting a roundhouse to the head. Anyway, I realized, I think I mentioned this before. I don't know if I said it here or not. I realized in these school fights, these white kids be yelling the N word almost every time they get into a fight. Almost every time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's not shocking to me because they know that, especially in the moment when you're upset, they know that it's a word that will escalate the situation. Tensions are running high. And they know it's a way to get at these black kids. Of course, they.

[Monet X Change]

It's not just black kids. There will be. There will be no black people in sight. It'll just be all white people. Really Be a kid. Like, get that nigga. Get that nigga. Not like, get. Not like, grab that nigger now. It's always like, hey, man, fuck that nigga up. That nigga up. It is very strange because I went to an all black school and like the white kids in my school never, never. The white kids in my school would have, first of all, there were like three of them. They would have never, ever said that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, New York is, as you know, Is a pretty multicultural place. So in my middle school and high school it was pretty mixed. Obviously I think more black or people of color like Puerto Rican, Dominican and black kids. But a lot of white kids too. But a lot of the white kids in my middle school especially, they grew up in Vandeville projects. Like they grew up in the project. So they said. So they said the word nigga. Like it was not weird to see a white kid saying the word nigga in school.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I found out later in life that, that, that New Yorkers, black New Yorkers be given n word passes to light to Puerto Ricans, light skinned Puerto Ricans, Chinese kids, they be giving n word. But girl, not middle school.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would say not. I would say not. I don't think I've seen Asian kids say the N word. But Puerto Rican, Dominican, white, black. Yes, for sure.

[Monet X Change]

And I did not know this was a thing until I got to New York City and I found out not these things giving out inward passes to. I think if non black people are saying the N word around you and you're not saying anything, you've given them an N word pass.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I mean, again, a lot of Puerto Ricans and Dominicans identify. Even though they look white, they identify as. I mean, back then I wouldn't say they identified as black, but they still. They use that.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Because also in New York City, Dominicans will let you know they are not black. They will let you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm not black. I'm Dominican.

[Monet X Change]

Do you know that? Okay. Have I ever done this with you? Don't Google it. I'm gonna see if you know this. I googled it the other day. The country in the world with the most black people.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The country in the world with the most black people.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, because of what we're talking about. Is it the Dominican Republic?

[Monet X Change]

Okay. There are the top four countries with the most black people. Number four is Colombia with 4.6 million black people. Haiti with almost 10 million. 9.9 million black people next door to

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Dr. And Haiti's so small.

[Monet X Change]

How big is Haiti like landmass wise? Yeah, I mean it's half of Hispaniola. Haiti, land mass. Haiti is 10, 10, 10 point, 10.7 million, 10.7. 10,714 square miles. Anyway, and then Brazil has 28 million black people. And then with almost, not almost double that, but with about 18 million more black people. This is the. Like the most white people from Any country is 18 million. Past the last one, it goes from 28 million to 46.9 million black people. You want to guess?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm just gonna get. I'm just gonna get wild, random. China.

[Monet X Change]

It is the United States of America. America has the most black people out of any country in the world.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I thought it was going to be like a shocking I thought it was going to be like a shocking place.

[Monet X Change]

For some reason that did shock me. But I guess when you think about these other really large countries, these massive countries, you think of China, Japan, Russia, India, that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, wait, wait. That. Japan is a massive. Japan is not a massive country.

[Monet X Change]

Population wise it is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah. Population wise, yes. Okay.

[Monet X Change]

Yes. You think we think of countries that have massive populations. You think of Russia, Japan, India, China, China, China and Merica. Can you put percentages?

[Lala Benet]

Like, see what.

[Monet X Change]

What country has the highest percentage?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Percentage. That's interesting. I would say probably Haiti. Let's see.

[Monet X Change]

Percentage.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would say gas.

[Monet X Change]

Not Jacob telling me to look stuff. Oh, right.

[Lala Benet]

Jacob.

[Monet X Change]

I was trying to have you talk about it. So I have the list right here. Jacob, flex on me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, wait, Jacob, can you. Can you share. Oh, can you share the screen like you.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah. Send it to the group. Screen grabber. Send it to the group. Can I say that. I don't know if this is like a bad thing or a bad idea, but I'm trying to Google fi my house. I've been Google fi. Ing my mom's house and it's great. I'm obsessed.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, like having, like, instead of Alexis having Google things.

[Monet X Change]

Google the house down, honey. Literally, Google the house down.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like what, like your nest?

[Monet X Change]

Google doorbell. Google homes. Google then. Yeah, the thermostat. Like, trying to make it like so. Also, cuz my mama has mobility issues. I sound a country's hell. My mama. I sound a country as hell. My mama have mobility issues. My mother has mobility issues. So I was trying to get. All right, so the.

[Jacob]

The.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, Well, I mean, this. Oh, what? Okay, good.

[Monet X Change]

Do you find the percentages? You have to scroll down.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Got it. I see it. I see it.

[Monet X Change]

Okay.

[Wayfair Announcer]

What?

[Monet X Change]

It hit me. Monet hit me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So St. Kitts and Nevis. 98% of the country is black. Is African or Afro descent.

[Lala Benet]

Wow.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're all. They're all West Indian country. Oh, no. It's by. They're doing it by region, but I guess it's Saint Kitts.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, in the Caribbean. Oh. Oh, wait. Oh, wait. What? This is confusing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is confusing.

[Monet X Change]

But that makes sense.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That is still the most.

[Lala Benet]

Yes.

[Wayfair Announcer]

Come on.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, bitch. Saint Lucia blacker than you, nigga. Saint Lucia blacker than you. Saint Lucia Blacker than you. Yeah. Plot twist. There's more black folks in St. Lucia than Atlanta. Who would have thought that St. Lucia.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But St. Lucia is about this bomb. St. Lucia. You can drive from one end to one end in St. Lucia. You in an hour.

[Monet X Change]

How long would it take to walk it?

[Lala Benet]

I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I haven't ever tried it. But Andy went to go biking through St. Lucia. I said, girl, them fucking jungle centipedes going to light your ass up. Go ahead.

[Monet X Change]

But y' all not blacker than Jamaicans. Honey, Jamaica is 92% black.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wow. Dominica, you know, you.

[Monet X Change]

Okay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Did you know, as an American, I knew this growing up, like, you learned this. Did you know that Dominica and Dominican Republic are two different places? Did you know that?

[Monet X Change]

I didn't. I did not know that Dominica was a place.

[Malcolm]

Really?

[Monet X Change]

I have never heard of Dominica in my life. Really sorry to this. Sorry to this, man. I do not.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I do not know sorry to this country.

[Monet X Change]

But what I think right now, that. And I'm not kidding with you, I have gone to school. I know minimum five Dominicas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, like, names of people.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. People named Dominica. I know like five. I know like, five people named Dominica. Not Dominicans, but Dominicas. I know five Dominicas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Dominica is a small little country down there. A small little country.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Like, I love that you shot that. I don't know. I don't know about. I mean, I'm not trying to read Dominica. If anyone's from Dominica, shout out to you. But there's only 61,000 people there. I didn't. I never heard of Saint Kitts. I don't know. I did not know where Saint Kitts. I had no clue where. If you'd have told me Saint Kitts was in Canada, I'd have been like, oh, my God. I had no clue.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The jump between the Cayman Islands and Cuba is so, like, drastic. It goes from 60% black, but also the population is 28. Is 30,000 people in the Cayman Islands. So it kind of.

[Monet X Change]

Well, but percentages don't really. I will say this. Cuba is a very black country. Cuba is a very. There are a lot of, like, percentage wise, there's a lot of black people in Cuba.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I've never been to Cuba. Wow. St. Lucia only has. Has less than 200,000 people. That is.

[Monet X Change]

Bitch. That is so less than 2,000 people.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

200,000 people live in St. Lucia. Less. The population of St. Lucia is 1, 172,000 people.

[Monet X Change]

So small we can walk over to St. Lucian. Be like, this is ours now. Everybody calm down.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're a monster.

[Monet X Change]

WeHo could take over.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And you know what? Y' all. With y' all white asses that we hold, they probably would too.

[Monet X Change]

They'd be like, we're good. It's ours now. We love this place. This is nice. Yeah, I. These numbers are really.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Colombia has 48 million people. Wow. I didn't realize how big Colombia was.

[Monet X Change]

It's the fourth blackest country in the

[Bob the Drag Queen]

world, population wise, but only if I say only. Only 10% of the population, however, is black.

[Monet X Change]

That's a lot of people for a Latinx country. Not as much as Cuba. Cuba has 35. Cuba's like, run that again, honey. We are 35% Ms. Mama Yas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

My brother went to Cuba and was like, I want to move to. Not Cuba. Columbia. My brother was at Christmas break talking about something. I'm moving to Columbia.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wait, this Christmas break?

[Monet X Change]

My brother. This is why I looked this up. Justin was like, columbia is blacker than America. And I was like. And I was like, oh, I didn't know that because I didn't realize this about Columbia. So I looked it up, and I was like, percentage wise, Colombia is very black.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then also, when you like traveling, right? Cause I see a lot of diesel on TikTok, like, traveling to blah, blah, blah, as a black woman, and it's like, well, yeah, like, let's say you're going to Bolivia less than.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, Columbia is less black than America.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Interesting. Yeah, Columbia. Columbia is. Colombia is only 10%. America is 12%. You see these, like, these tiktoks traveling to Bolivia as a black woman. You're like, less than. Less than 1% of the population in Bolivia is black. So that's why when they see you, they're like, oh, my God. Like, they're like. They're gagged. They're shocked. They're like, whoa, you look so different. I don't see. Because they don't see you a lot there, girl.

[Monet X Change]

From what I be hearing about black folks traveling to, like, Japan and China, they'd be like, they will literally walk up to you and just start taking pictures with you without your permission. Lloyd used to tell us that. Lloyd was one of our dancers from.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Lloyd did tell us this.

[Monet X Change]

He's like, they will. And there are people on Especially black women who have long hair. If you have, like, braids or locks or any blackity, black, blickety, black nigga, black hair. Any hair that Gigi Goode would do for Simone, by the way. Y' all have got to stop harassing Gigi Good. Gigi Good's comments be. Be like, not. Not Gigi's nigga salon. Like, in girl in the comments on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God, Bob.

[Monet X Change]

On all of our hair videos.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then when.

[Monet X Change]

And you were there, too. Don't act like. Don't act like. Don't act like I was the only one yelling at nigga salon.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then when Bob meets these girls and they're like, hi, Bob. Bobby's so confused. Like, I don't know. I don't understand visual people open up.

[Monet X Change]

Comments be like, hey, nigga love a hairdoer, girl. Okay, first of all, Monet, you acting like I'm the only one who called it Gigi's nigga wigs. You act like I'm the only one who called it Gigi's nigga wigs. Because, you know, you was right there with me talking about some damn. Gigi be doing these nigga wigs also.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And this makes sense because she do

[Monet X Change]

be doing nigga wigs.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If Japan has 127 million people,

[Monet X Change]

less

[Bob the Drag Queen]

than 10,000 of them are black. So that's why that makes sense. But I will say that's not. I've been to Japan, and I've been to a lot of Asian countries, tour on tour. That wasn't my experience in Japan. I walked around. I think your hair.

[Monet X Change]

It's the hair. From what I understand, it is the hair that, like, Lloyd, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Lloyd shot a short Caesar.

[Monet X Change]

But Lloyd's darker than you. Maybe it's the darkness. Maybe like the. Maybe from what I've seen on TikTok, if you have a big body, like fat people, people with long, long hair, and people who are very, very dark. Not Jacob. Jacob trying to get us to stop talking about blackness. No, we do have some questions to get through, but this is also a great conversation. I'm just reminding you.

[Lala Benet]

But you take as much time as you want.

[Monet X Change]

But.

[Malcolm]

But.

[Monet X Change]

No but. But I. I think that it's important.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's. Let's go on to the next question.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, Jay, can you include one clip, one time? Because I want everyone to see what. What we see when me and Monet get off track. This. This is what Jacob. We talked about, guys, about this. I want you guys to see. To see Jacob's look. All right, go ahead, baby.

[Jacob]

Hi, Bob and Monet. I'm 27 years old, and my pronouns are he, him. I want to start off by saying that I have a therapist, and we talk about a lot of my anxieties. I kind of just want to get your opinion. So I have a lot of anxiety in the workplace. I'm a graphic designer, and I'm no stranger to critiques, but I realized that my hardest critiques are from myself. Like, some people kick themselves, but I beat my ass. And I realized that it's not even really warranted, as most of the external feedback I get is predominantly positive. So I'm just curious, how do you guys balance between wanting to be better and feeling like you're good enough already? Sincerely yours, paranormal agent.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I miss a few weeks to self title this stuff. I love that. I have to tell you, I think I am someone. I struggle with this a lot of the time. And I think a big lesson that I've been trying to teach myself is that you have to allow yourself and give yourself space to be great. Right. And I think that when you're in the workspace, it oftentimes is hard because you want to be super hard on yourself. You critique yourself more, you see your thing, and it is a little bit of some imposter syndrome stuff. And so recently, as y' all know, I'm doing this Minnesota opera gig, and, you know, I haven't had a voice lesson, a coaching or anything since I graduated college in 2012. So it's been a very long time. So we had a first.

[Monet X Change]

When you graduated college, 2012.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

10 years.

[Monet X Change]

Damn

[Bob the Drag Queen]

n you was. At least I graduated college,

[Monet X Change]

Monet. That is so rude. That is so rude, Bob.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're doing great for yourself.

[Monet X Change]

That is so rude. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Look at you. You ought to be ashamed of yourself right now. And we in the same. And we had to say we work at the same job.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Exactly. So one of us wasted their fucking time anyway. So, yeah, so I haven't had a coaching, a voice lesson or anything in 10 years. And so I find myself. But going leading up to that rehearsal, I did all the things. I did all my translations, I did all my. All my IPA stuff, diction, everything to prepare myself for this first rehearsal with this music in Italian and this language, this diction in French. Like, I was like, fuck. Like, I felt like I was like, who the fuck are you? You saying this to the aria on tv, and now you're stepping into this role in an opera like, you don't belong here. So I walked into that first rehearsal, like, apologizing to the coach. I was like, just so you know,

[Monet X Change]

I haven't had a da, da, da, da, da.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And after he Sang stuff. He was like, he's like, why did you leave in saying all that stuff? He's like, you sound great. I was like, he's like, there's some few things that we can work on, but that's just. That's normal with anyone coming into a role. He was like, he's like, you shouldn't do that. And I was like, I know. Like, I find I still today to myself, I do that shit all the time. And again, you have to allow yourself space to be great. Like, I think it is okay to be critical of yourself, but when you are doing a good job, when you are working as hard as you can, sit in that and own that, and if there are some critiques that can be had by your boss, by your superior to make it better, that's one thing. But walk in apologizing and feeling like you don't belong because of your own self sabotage and your own shit and stuff that you have going on, I think is you're doing yourself a disservice and you're not allowing yourself space to be great and to be fierce and to be the best person that you can be.

[Monet X Change]

I'm not gonna lie to y'.

[Lala Benet]

All.

[Monet X Change]

I live in the land of delusion. I think there's a video of this guy named Mike Young. If you live in New York City, you probably don't know Mike Young by name, but if you live there long enough, you know him by face and by voice. Mike Young sings In the Subway. He does a lot of Ed Sheeran covers. He's this really, really good singer. He ended up getting on America's Got Talent.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay.

[Monet X Change]

Have you ever seen this guy before?

[Lala Benet]

No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm looking. I have never seen him in Subway.

[Monet X Change]

I see him on the one Train, by the way. I mean, honestly, the One Train has some of the best entertainment. I've lived off the 7 train. I've lived off the A train, kind of. I lived off the F train, the One train, y'.

[Malcolm]

All.

[Monet X Change]

The entertainment on the One train is. Is super superior.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, here's the thing. The one trainers are the singers. The ones on the.

[Monet X Change]

On.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

On the. On the BD line. Those are the acrobats. These niggas are swinging.

[Lala Benet]

They.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Because those trains are wider. They are back flipping. It is crazy on the. On the. On the BD lines.

[Monet X Change]

So, yeah, so if you want to see. If you want to see them flipping and dance, you got to go on those. The. The silver trains.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The.

[Monet X Change]

The ones that are all silver. But if you want to see those Orange. Those raggedy old orange, which. They're probably not even the old orange anymore by this point, but Becky Matier. The one train was the old orange ones, but where all the seats kind of like go. And then you have the suit that face this way and some. That face that way. But, man, those are some great. Anyway, I listen to Mike Young sing, and I was like, I could do that. I cannot sing. But I was like, I bet if I. If I worked for a week, I could sound just like Mike Young. And y', all, when I tell you this man is an amazing singer, like, he be in these streets. I'm gonna find a clip of him singing real quick.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was just about to do it while you were talking about it, like, he can sing.

[Monet X Change]

Sing. And I was like, I know, I know I could do that. Listen to this man.

[Wayfair Announcer]

Still.

[Monet X Change]

Like, this man can move furniture with his voice. I. I am. I am positive this man, if he wanted to, this man could move furniture. This was so good. Come.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

On, sing.

[Monet X Change]

Give me a week. Mike Young will be like, give me one week.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're wild.

[Monet X Change]

I will show up. I will show up. Like, people fall in love in mysterious ways. Yeah. And you're in your little. In your little four years from a college that's been. That's shut down. Grandpa hit you with that tick tock, that tick tock trend. What's your school called again? Westminster. Dead. It's at 103. Have you seen that TikTok trend?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I haven't.

[Monet X Change]

It's this TikTok journey where people go and they. They find their mom's or their dad's favorite celebrity and they say they're dead.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yes, I saw that. I saw that.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I'm.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, wait, let me, let me, Let me finish the advice. So what I'm saying is, anyway, you know, I. I will say this. You have an opportunity to maybe break the cycle of this. And I believe the reason why I'm. I am so confident of this, because my mom has assured me that I am better than everyone and I'm very good at everything. So you can break the cycle, I think, with your. I'm sorry, I'm not giving advice for you, but you do have the opportunity to break the cycle with your nieces, your nephews, your children by telling them and lifting them up and letting them know that they are really, really good at and really amazing and really talented and that they can achieve, you know, a lot of things. And I love that black people are coming open more about anxiety and stuff. These days, I feel like black folks used to swear, we never had no anxiety. We never had nothing. I love that we're getting more therapy. I mean, Megan Thee has a song called Anxiety. The Others, this lady named Lady Blue has a song called Sweet Anxiety Other. We're singing about it in our music. I really, really fucking love that. All right, what were you saying, Monet?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So I'm in Denver with Andy over Christmas, and I get a call. Kim is FaceTiming. I'm like, what's up? And she's like. She's like, monet. She's like. I was like, what's going on, girl? She's like, did you hear? I was just like, I'm so sorry. I was like, what? She's like, bob the Drag Queen dead at 36. He died.

[Monet X Change]

I was like. I was like, kim.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, he didn't. She's like, monet, I'm not kidding. Like, Bob died. And I was like, kim, you are. I was like, kim, Bob is not dead. And she's like, monet. She was going on with the bit, and I was like, first of all, if you were to pass away, Kim would not be the first I would hear from. I would hear about it before.

[Monet X Change]

Imagine Kim breaking the news.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And I was like, but this before. This is, like, right when the trend was kicking off. So I didn't see it yet, but I've seen it, the compilations of it. It's so good. I get one of my favorite.

[Monet X Change]

If you had to get your mom, who would you say? Who is your mom? Some of these moms are celebrities. Just, wow. They're the. One of this white. There's like. I think there's like, bright British lady Snoop Dogg. I was like, this lady loves, like, mom. Sorry. Snoop dogg dad at 61. This lady was Snoop Dogg. I was like, what is going. This lady loves some Snoop Dogg. Who would it be for your mom?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

For my mom, it would be a Soca singer, like Destra or Marsha Montano, something like that. She would.

[Monet X Change]

Your mom. Would your mom think it was funny? Where she'd be like, that's not funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She would think it was funny. Or. My mom is very stoic at first. She'll be like, well. And then like, oh, I guess. Who would it be for your mom? Mary J. Mary J.

[Monet X Change]

Page or Judge Mathis? If I told my mom that Judge Mathis. Judge Mathis dead, she'd be like, oh. She'd be like, oh, my God. Would go, oh, my God. Oh, my. I know. She would put her hand on her head. She'd go, oh, my God. Oh, my God. What? Oh, my. I was just watching his show. Oh. Cause Judge Mathers has, like a. Like a family show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The syndicated court show?

[Monet X Change]

No, a family show. It's like a reality TV show.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

A reality tv. Does he really?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And his son is gay now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is he cool with it or is he a.

[Monet X Change]

No, I think they're cool with it now, but Judge Memphis son is gay, but he's also, like, he's a God first gay. He's very. His profile, his Instagram.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The son is the God first guy.

[Monet X Change]

The son's a God. You know, Judge Mathis is not a God first gay.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When he said that, I thought that meant, like, you can be gay, but make sure you love God. That's what I thought you were trying to say.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, no, no. I mean, when I found out that Carol Channing passed away, I was very upset. I was very upset.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who is someone? Like, who is someone? I could. Like, let's say you didn't know the Sharin happened. And I call you. Who is someone? I could say. And you would be like, Monet. Like, who it is.

[Monet X Change]

If you called me, I wouldn't believe anyone. But if, like, my mom called me and told me that Whoopi Goldberg died, that would be.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, Whoopi, Right.

[Monet X Change]

I would be Devil Whoopi.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

God, I could have gotten you. I could have got you before the trigger got big.

[Jacob]

Bobby.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We were just. If we were to chill at my house and I was like, oh, my God, bitch. Whoopi Goldberg died. You'd be like, monet, say that. Don't say, I know. God forbid.

[Monet X Change]

God forbid. Don't joke like that. Oh, that just upset me right now. Don't do that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You got Sasha Blur me. Monet.

[Monet X Change]

Don't. Don't say that. No, that would be upsetting. Oh, no, that's upsetting now. I would be upset if Liza Minnelli died.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, yeah.

[Monet X Change]

I would be very upset if Liza. Liza and Whoopi and I think there's a couple comedians. If I found out, like, Wanda Sykes. Some more.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Some more. Who'd it be for you?

[Monet X Change]

Rihanna.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Rihanna. Sza. Beyonce. If Rihanna died, I would be distraught.

[Monet X Change]

Inconsolable.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

If SZA died right now, I'd be distraught too.

[Monet X Change]

I'd be. I would be very sad if RuPaul died.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, my God.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

RuPaul is probably the top of the list.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Capitalist for me.

[Monet X Change]

If RuPaul died, I'd be a mess.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would be a mess.

[Monet X Change]

Mess.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would be yeah, I'll be. I would be. It would not be great. I would.

[Monet X Change]

I would mostly celebrate. They were calling, they were talking about were dead. Are they were old. They'd be like cher dead at 74. Paul McCarten dead at 8. Ozzy Osbourne dead at 173. Like. Like these motherfuckers are old.

[Lala Benet]

Old.

[Monet X Change]

And then the. The rough thing is we actually do have a death now.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who? Someone died.

[Monet X Change]

Vivian Westwood.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh yeah. Vivian Westwood. Oh my God. Imagine someone did it. That would not. They would have to delete that TikTok video. That's too much.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, someone predicted it. I was like, what if some of these. What? You know, it'd be a crazy scary movie if every. Let's say there was one person who did this bit a lot. Oh my God. This is a great scary movie. The scary movie is one person. There's one TikTok that's known for this trend. But then every single person they say ends up dying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's a good one.

[Monet X Change]

Have you seen that Black mirror where like if you're unpopular then these like bees come and kill you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I only saw the pig one when he fucked the pig.

[Monet X Change]

And Monet, you're in. You're in an amazing position. You are in an. I wish I could go back and watch the Black Mirror movies because they are, I mean shows. They are all. Almost every one of them is so brilliant. It is such a good show. I have been waiting for them to drop new black mirrors like, like, like you've been waiting for Rihanna albums. Like they will not. They will not do it. The last one they did was. It was, was. Was with Miley Cyrus.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. I. I would go back. Is it.

[Monet X Change]

How many.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is it a lot of episodes? A lot of seasons.

[Monet X Change]

The seasons aren't normal. It's not. It's not like six episodes per season. It's like they just kind of just drop them whenever. They just be like, you get what you get and you don't get upset. I wish I could go back and watch the Black Mirrors without any knowledge of what's good because they are. They are so good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But if they're so popular, why did they stop doing them? I don't.

[Monet X Change]

They stop. I think they just take up. They like each one is a movie. Like they take a lot to produce because, I mean, but some. There are some of them that have been kind of like not too complex but like they be doing. It's like. It's like a big ass fucking movie. They're like really big budget Moments.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. There's. There's been five. Oh, my God. Five seasons. Oh, it's only, like, three to the season.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but how many episodes? Like, nothing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Season one had three. Season two had four. Season three had six. Six. Yeah, it kind of. Yeah. Okay. I'll go back and watch them. Was the Miley Cyrus one good?

[Monet X Change]

The Miles? It's not my favorite one. It's pretty good. My favorite one. My favorite one is probably. Oh, I don't know if I can pick. There's one where they, like, down. They, like. Basically, if you're about to die, they, like, upload your. Your consciousness to, like, a video game. There's also. There's also this one where, like, oh, my God, this one was so crazy. Where if you. Let's say you committed a crime, right? They will download your consciousness and put it in this, like, egg thing. This, like, thing. And then they'll be like. But you'll think. You'll think it's you because there's two of you now. There's a. There's the actual Monet, and then there's Monet's consciousness in this thing. And they'll be like, all right, you want to tell us what you did with the body? And you'll be like, I didn't do anything. And they'd be like, all right, I'll see you soon. They will leave for, like, five minutes. But when they come back, you've actually been in your mind. You've been there for, like, three years. So you feel like you've been alone for three years. There's only been five minutes for them. And they'll be like, all right, do you want to tell us now? And they'll be like, but you don't answer fast enough. They'll be, all right, I'll come back tomorrow. This time they come back, it felt like you've been there for, like, 105 years by yourself. Oh, no, no, no, no.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's terrible.

[Monet X Change]

You don't have a desire to eat or anything, because you're just a consciousness. And then when you come back, they're like, do you want to talk now? Because it's been 105 years for you. It's been a day for them. And then you. And then you just talk because. And then they use that to go and arrest the real Monet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, now, what if you're wrong? What if you're wrong?

[Monet X Change]

No, because it's real. Like, it's all your information. So whatever they take from you, starting at the point they Download your consciousness. It's all true and it's all real.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. All right. I'll get into it. I realized I only watched the first season. I watched the rest of them.

[Monet X Change]

Doesn't that sound terrifying?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That sounds terrible.

[Monet X Change]

Bitch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That sounds like it'll make you go insane.

[Monet X Change]

That's the point. That's also kind of why I don't like the idea of eternal life, like, living forever. We. I'm not saying I don't want to die, but I do. I do want to, like, cease to exist at some point. I don't. I don't want to forever. Forever. You just.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Forever. Forever. What is that from the sandlot?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, you just sitting around just, like, watching. Like, let's say. Let's say we actually do exist forever. Let's say we do exist forever. And then when the sun inevitably eats the entire universe, what's up next? So. And then you have to wait another, like, 7 billion years for a new planet to form, and then maybe even then it can't support life. How long do you have to wait for civilization again?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, I don't think forever is a thing.

[Monet X Change]

Like, doesn't. Doesn't eternal life exhaust any of you? Like, if I was told that, like, you die and then you go to heaven, you get like, another. Like another 40 years, I'd be like, that. That sounds manageable. Another 40 years I can do. And then I get to kind of just like, dissipate.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, you know, Mildewgrass Tyson's TikTok is one of my favorite places on Earth.

[Monet X Change]

It's great. I'm Also on Neil DeGrasse. It's great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Have you seen his whole talk about ARIA stimulation or not?

[Monet X Change]

Yes. You don't know, but you might be.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. And I was like, whoa. Even Neil Degrasse Tyson is up here. Like, bitch, I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

But he did say that there is a reason why he thinks we might not be is because we can't create. What did he say? He was like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I forget to.

[Monet X Change]

He was like. Basically the reason why he's convinced that we're not is because we can't create it. We can't create simulations that complex. Therefore we can't be one. But that also might be why we are. I can't honestly say.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, but he says, but that. That might be the reason that we are. Because we have programmed ourselves to think that we can't.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but he said, but he has some reason for believing that we might. Anyway, I'm also on James Webb Space Telescope. Tick tock. Y' all you gotta. So the Hubble was the, the, the, the telescope launched into the space about like 35 years ago. And the James Webb telescope is like, it's like, it's like if, it's basically if like there's a Sega in this, in the sky. They just released a PS5 and then

[Bob the Drag Queen]

this was gonna find it.

[Monet X Change]

This was last year. Last year they released the PlayStation 5 into the sky. It is like imagine how much better the telescope is than the Hubble. The Hubble was like basically every picture, not every picture, but most pictures you see of space all come from the Hubble. But almost, almost every picture ever seen with space, anything in space has come from the Hubble. Now that they basically put a iPhone pro, not iPhone. They put a red Dragon Nikon camera in space. A Google Pixel. They put that up in space. Right. So.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I see it. It looks great.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. So all this information, they, they're, they're getting, they're getting like new information about space like, like we have never ever seen before. They're getting brand new answers. That's why, that's why that, that, that gaseous, salacious super picture they took. Maybe because you're not on the, on, on, on space. Tick tock. But they, they found like I think that they found the closest planet that could host Earth, that could host life is. They're so excited about it. And it's 75,000 light years away. Guys. I do not think we can comprehend.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

How far one light year is. Just to be clear, obviously how fast

[Bob the Drag Queen]

it takes light to go in a year.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. That's how long it takes light to travel in one year. Just to be clear. The sun is, is eight light minutes away. It would take 200, about 230 days to reach the sun with our current technology. And by the way, also by the time you get there, you'd be incinerated. It would take, it would take a little under a year. It take three seasons to reach the sun and that. It is eight light minutes away.

[Lala Benet]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know how far is this place? 75 light. Like what?

[Monet X Change]

75,000 light years. We're never. We will once Earth is done. It's a r. We have nowhere to go. But also the crazy thing, they found this plant, these planets, but there's like four of them all next to each other. Imagine there's a different galaxy, but where it's like three Earths next to each other.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But my thing is that yes, we're taking like how do we know? Like bitch, this. I get it. Technology, they conceded. How do we know that this planet,

[Monet X Change]

like, how they tested this planet, how

[Bob the Drag Queen]

do they know it can sustain life? They found water over there.

[Monet X Change]

Well, they did find water. Water is. Water is the main thing they're trying to find. They're trying to find water.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They haven't gotten there. How do they know it's real?

[Monet X Change]

I mean, they're assuming it's hypothesis.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know all of it is.

[Monet X Change]

It's scientific guesses. Also, it kind of looks like Earth. It kind of looks like a marble, like the way the Earth looks. Which means that it probably has clouds, it probably has green, and it probably has water.

[Lala Benet]

Bitch.

[Monet X Change]

They're probably looking at us being like, I'm planning to say bitch. We're about to try to get there. They're gonna be like, bitch, our shit is fucked up too. They're like, bitch, we were looking at y', all.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I'm like, so it takes us literally a billion years to get there, but niggas got a little smartphone, like, yeah, I see there's grand grass. There is. Like, what?

[Monet X Change]

But they're also looking at us being like, y', all, we need somewhere to go too. But also, that's the thing. If we were there, we'd be able. Because, you know, we, we could, we could get to Mars. We have the technology to make it

[Bob the Drag Queen]

to Mars, but we've done it.

[Monet X Change]

Mars can't support. No, no, a person never been to Mars. A person.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, a robot. I know a robot has gone there.

[Monet X Change]

But Mars can't support life also, it's so hot. But over there, these planets are all near each other. If we were in that galaxy, we could just hop over, be like, sorry, Earth deuces. We did you dirty. We leave Earth like a fucking. Like an Airbnb broken and dusted as hell, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So now, I ain't no scientist, but what I'm saying is scientists, they need to develop some super hot suits so we can chill on Mars. Like, whip up some suits. Domino Couture, Diego Montoya, whip up some garments that can withstand the heat on Mars.

[Monet X Change]

But we also can't grow food on Mars. So basically, someone would have to be. Someone back on Earth would have to be farming. We have to have people back on Earth farming. I think what it is, is we just need to get enough people off of Earth so the Earth can sustain itself. We gotta get enough people off the

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Earth and we hit a 8 billion people on this planet. We are not slowing down in any way, shape or form. We have expedited the process of Creating humans on here.

[Monet X Change]

I gotta be real. Sometimes I think to myself, thanos was right. Like, I. And the way that Thanos was doing it was. Was honestly, it was completely unbiased. Thanos wasn't like, is. I'm gonna get rid of the people I don't like. He was like, I'm just randomly. I'm just. Also, Thanos isn't even from here. Thanos was like, I'm doing y' all a favor. I'm not even from here.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Thanos said Wednesday Addams, honey, like, honestly,

[Monet X Change]

Thanos might have been doing it the most diplomatic way. Imagine if you're fighting to save a planet and everyone's like, no, we will destroy our planet.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. Thanos was like, I see what this did in my planet, and I'm trying to help you guys out. And everyone's like, no. He was like, trust me, guys. I'm just trying to. And honestly, you know, at the beginning of Endgame, he was back on his farm, and he was peacefully quiet. He was like, I helped you guys. Now I'm just chilling. And then they fucking unalived him.

[Monet X Change]

And he almost killed himself trying in the process. He was like. That was like, bitch, I might be one of the snappies. I might be one of the folks.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know the Snappies.

[Monet X Change]

But also, it is true when he. When he achieved it, he wasn't out here trying to wreak hat. He was like, I'm good. I did my thing. I'm gone. Let me hang out on my farm, y'.

[Malcolm]

All.

[Monet X Change]

You lost. Take the L, take the L. And

[Bob the Drag Queen]

then Captain America said, blue lives matter. They all showed up to his house without a warrant, and they fucking killed Thanos.

[Monet X Change]

God. Yo, yo.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Thor and Black Widow and them said, blue lives matter. And they went up in Thanos house without a warrant and just killed him.

[Monet X Change]

But also, the crazy thing is, this is literally the exact same thing that we do to animals and to other people as well. Like in China. Have a girl. Have a girl. I dare. I dare you to have three girls in China. Have three girls. See how that. See how that works out for you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Now, there may be some more stuff that we don't know, because I don't know about it, but we're just. Obviously, we're. You know. Anyway, yeah, we don't know.

[Monet X Change]

It's what we heard. We had heard that. That they do not. That they do not let. I. I don't know. What I had heard was if you have too many girls in China, they will. They will kill your baby. But I don't know if that's true or not, but we do it. We do it, girl. Oh, my God. Have you seen these videos of like chicken farms?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I did factory farming for my. From my graduate, for my graduating thesis paper and I. It's terrible.

[Monet X Change]

Have you seen what they do to roosters?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No boy chickens specifically.

[Monet X Change]

No little girl. So they're basically someone who like picks through the chickens to see if it's a rooster or if it's a chicken, if it's a boy, if it's a girl, male or female. And they just toss them to each. All the girls go. All the females go here. All the males go here. Bitch. The baby chickens, you know, they do. The roosters right then and there.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cut off their balls.

[Monet X Change]

No, like they literally just like put them in a blender. There's a machine they just dump all the little chickens into. They just get. On the day of their birth, they just get ground up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why roosters?

[Monet X Change]

Because they can't produce. Because these chickens are valuable. Because no one eats roosters. Roosters don't lay eggs. No, people don't eat roosters.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What about the meat? It's still a chicken.

People don't eat roosters. People just don't eat. You ever had a rooster?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, I don't know if they was just, you know, in the factory farming of it all, they just considered it chicken. Cause they just cut off the legs and the cut. You know what I mean? I don't know.

[Monet X Change]

No, people don't eat roosters and roosters can't lay eggs. So they're basically invaluable. They have no value.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Wow. Damn.

[Monet X Change]

Isn't that crazy, girl? They keep a few roosters to fertilize the eggs and that is it. And they just toss them. I saw this. They literally in this thing. It's just like. It's just like crunching them. I was like, this is crazy, honestly.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, so Andy and I invent. Do you want to. Oh, do you want to? Well, you have some stuff going on, but in the month of February, Andy and I are gonna try going vegan for a month.

[Monet X Change]

Didn't you have a whole web series about trying to go vegan last year?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. I mean, okay, see, wow. Say you didn't watch the series. I was saying you didn't watch the series. It wasn't.

[Monet X Change]

I didn't watch the series.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was just trying to be more plant based conscious.

[Monet X Change]

You just eating free food. You just eating free food.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was eating. I was eating more plant based food. And I really enjoyed it. The chicken nuggets, they taste great.

[Monet X Change]

Someone there was this funny clip. It was like, vegans always be like, want to try my smoking nuggets?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was me. That was my tweet.

[Monet X Change]

Was it your tweet?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes, it was my tweet.

[Monet X Change]

No, it was not. You're lying.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was not your tweet. It was my tweet. I said nobody vegan. Nobody vegans. You want to. You want to. You want to taste my nuggets?

[Monet X Change]

Was that your tweet?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, you better just. You are a piece of work.

[Monet X Change]

There's a way to look it up. We're gonna find out right now. There's a way to look it up.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Honey, you are a pizza. Work.

[Monet X Change]

This will be our last bit of business before we get off this app.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She don't accept someone on.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, that was you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Anyway, y' all see, I need. I am no stranger to Bob not crediting me for my work.

[Monet X Change]

The question is, who did you steal her from

[Bob the Drag Queen]

anyway?

[Monet X Change]

What?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Hard working.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you don't think. You don't think a black person can. Can make fun of material?

[Monet X Change]

Not this black person. Let me try that. Which I don't realize that Monet has this entire thing where she has a bunch of young drag queens who look up to her, and they. She mentors them. She takes their ideas for fashion, she takes their ideas for makeup, she takes their jokes. And then she says that they're. They're getting internship points. She's not. There is no internship points. Your car. You will not get college credits. If you see Monet posting for an internship, you will. First of all, she will not pay you. She will not reach out to your professors. She will never follow up. All she's doing is stealing your ideas.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're literally describing your relationship with your daughter, Ms. Cracker.

[Monet X Change]

That is not. That is. First of all, if anything, that. That. If anything, that is my relationship with you. That's you mopping my idea.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I gave you everything. And then you said I was.

[Monet X Change]

I was your daughter.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You were helping me out, you were making me a garment. And then here we are.

[Monet X Change]

This is how I want to hit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're right. You're right.

[Monet X Change]

Profit.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You were right. You were right.

[Monet X Change]

It is you profiting off of me and my ideas for the past 10 years. You've gotten. You've gotten dresses, you've gotten podcasts. You're on the six seasons. You're welcome.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You were right. You were right. Everything you said was true. He was like, yeah, What Bob described that's what's been going on here for the last 10 motherfucking years.

[Monet X Change]

No, it's you and me. Mopping on me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Now you changing it.

[Monet X Change]

Exactly. Now you're changing up the story. You've gotten a lot of stuff from me, and you're welcome for all of it. And on that note. And on that note. And on that note, Happy advisory, everyone. It's the first advisory of the year. It's our first advice of the year. It's our second advisory of the year.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's our first.

[Monet X Change]

It's our first advisory of the year. First advisor of the year. Have a good day, everyone. And don't let. Don't let leeches leech off you in 2023.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, I'm so glad you set it up that way, because you were right how you described it the first time.

[Monet X Change]

Only thing I got from you is crabs.
