---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. No One Went Home: Production vs. Merit

[02:00–04:23]

• Monét explains why production sometimes keeps all queens: "It's never really because people did such a good job…the network orders a certain number of episodes and they have to fill that."
• Bob pushes back: “I think you might be underselling it…they have the option to eliminate girls and they chose not to.” They debate episode/season structure and previous seasons with top 4s and 5s.

2. Discord’s “Cheating” Accusations

[05:00–05:40]

• Bob: “I think Discord bent the rules…what she did was punk rock. She pushed the boundaries…was it cheating or was it pushing the boundaries?”
• Both agree she didn’t technically cheat, comparing to earlier Drag Race moments where queens subverted expectations.

3. Track Records & Front-Runners

[06:33–07:33]

• Monét: "Jane Don't has the best…track record ever? She has three wins...never had a bottom placement."
• Jane Don’t called “the clear front-runner,” with other queens seemingly “competing for second.”

4. Mini Challenge: Fragrance Ads

[10:52–12:01]

• Challenge felt “over-produced.” Standouts: Kenya Pleaser’s “I like my wigs like I like my relationships—messy.”
• Bob: “I would have given the win to Kenya Pleaser, but they gave it to Mikey Meeks.”

5. Roast Challenge & The Art of Roasting

[12:07–16:37]

• Monét: Loves the return of roasts focusing on Drag Race alumni. “I like bringing back old Drag Race girls and having them roasted…fun!”
• Bob & Monét: Differ on whether roasting is “quintessential queendom” or more “queer culture seeping into drag.”
• Kenya Pleaser doubts her own humor; Bob thinks Kenya’s not as funny as she thinks.

6. Picking the Roast Order: Does It Matter?

[14:52–16:37]

• Both hosts argue the order doesn’t really matter much, but discuss the (laziness of) "going after a bomb" and how sets on Drag Race are too short for traditional set placement rules.

7. Coaching & Rehearsal Drama

[19:07–27:36]

• Coaching by Atsuko; Discord does better than expected at the table read.
• Nene Coco struggles ("trying to shrink herself”); Monét calls her self-doubt a “cop out.”
• Jane Don’t gives Nene advice on being “bitchy but likable.”
• Ongoing narrative of “Negative Nene”/awkward edits.

8. Roast Performances

[27:41–48:01]

• Standout: Jane Don’t – "Simone had five wins…but [Jane] never in the bottom." Her roast: “RuPaul is so old; the first time she said, ‘Why’s it gotta be Black?’ she was talking about the plague.”
  —[31:05, Bob quoting Jane Don't]
• Darlene – Prop and absurdist humor; Bob: “Felt like an Oscar you get after losing the last time.”
• Mikey Meeks – Bob: “One of the best jokes of the evening, ‘A trade war for Alyssa is when her trick finds out she’s the top bitch.’”
  —[48:01, Bob]
• Discord – Material had promise, but stilted, robotic delivery.
• Kenya Pleaser – Started strong in rehearsals, but bombed in the main challenge. Both hosts critique her real-time “am I right, girl?” tags as awkward and desperate.
• Nene Coco – Jokes didn’t land; “she can’t say she wants to avoid Atsuko’s hairstylist? This is crazy!”
  —[41:17, Bob]

9. Runway: “Blown Away” Theme

[51:00–65:45]

• Detailed look-by-look shade and praise.
• Standouts:
  • Jane Don't: Bob: “This looks amazing. Like someone in a Bob Mackie number.”
  • Nene Coco: Unique ashes concept (spreading “ashes” blown back in her face), well executed; Monet: “Nene Coco never disappoints on the runway.”
  • Juicy Love Dion: Fun wind-mimed umbrella moment; both enjoyed her performative approach.
• Misses:
  • Discord: “Awful…not giving what it's supposed to give.”
  • Kenya Pleaser: Wings too small; “she looked like a dragon with tiny wings.”
  • Mikey Meeks: “Dancing costume, not Drag Race runway.”
• Bob rails against queens (and judges) exaggerating the length of trains/fabric or the meaning of “monochrome” and “completely encrusted.”

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Bob [05:04]: “I think Discord bent the rules. What she did was punk rock…the punk rock girl pushes the boundaries.”
• Monét [06:52]: “Jane Don’t might have the best track record ever.”
• Bob [14:17]: “I think Kenya is operating from a place of humor often, but I don’t think she’s particularly funny.”
• Bob [31:05]: “RuPaul is so old; the first time she said, ‘Why’s it gotta be Black?’ she was talking about the plague.” (quoting Jane Don’t’s roast)
• Monét [33:08]: “I did not understand the hype around [Darlene’s] performance. Maybe I’m dumb and I just don’t get it. Everyone was guffawing, cackling…I was so curious what you thought.”
• Bob [46:16]: “She tried to tag, she goes, ‘rigor morris…’ RuPaul just blankly staring at her. She was like, ‘what she call us?’”
• Bob [65:45]: “Nene Coco never disappoints on the runway…she really had a good idea and executed it well.”
• Bob [67:19]: “Shout out to Mickey Meeks, by the way. Shout out to Mickey Meeks.”

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We review RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18 Episode 11. There are after this episode, there were only six queens left. We are getting down to the nitty gritty. And at the very, very, very, very time episode when I say hello.

[Monet X Change]

Hello everyone. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No one has gone home and the girls seem irritated. Cause they all think sports should have gone home.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, but I think it was. I wonder. People always have all these speculations about why y'. All. It's never really because people did such a good job. The network orders a certain number of episodes and they have to fill that like so paramount, they bought 16 episodes of Drag Race. So whether somebody goes it's a double stay. Or they do an episode where they just remember all the lost girls, that's what they ordered. So it's not because it was just such a good. Even though it seemed like it was a such a good experience and RuPaul was really splitting hairs, they still have to fill out that number episodes. So it's not this, like, crazy thing. I just want to just note that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think that you might be underselling it because it could be a number of things. They could still make it to that amount of episodes with a Still eliminating girls. No one says it has. So. So. So I think that they have the option to eliminate girls and they chose not to. I don't think it was just like. Cause I think that the lazy set of thinking is like, production told them they had to leave a girl. I don't think it was like that. So I think that they could have. They actually could have eliminated a girl and still fulfilled all their episodes.

[Monet X Change]

And how?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

By. By changing the number of the top people. It doesn't have to be a top three. It can be a top two. They can push the episodes down the line. That's why they can do double eliminations at a time. Like, it doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to be what we see as like a top four or top three. They can go to the finales however they want to, and they've proven that. They've gone with four. They've gone with. I think it's four the most or five of the most. They've gone with the finale with. I can't remember.

[Monet X Change]

Five.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Four they've done.

[Monet X Change]

Who had a top five?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I believe there was a top five ones. I can't remember what season, though. Maybe it was. What about Sasha's season? Sasha, Lux, Mistress. Oh, who else? Sorry, Sasha. Oh, sorry, Sasha.

[Monet X Change]

Sasha. No, it's four of them. Sasha, Mistress Luxx, and Whoop.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You.

[Monet X Change]

You don't remember either, so don't loop me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is crazy. Didn't the last one have a top five? Who are you erasing? Who are you? It was Jewel Sandstar. Oh, no, no.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, maybe it was diabetes season. Who won that? Willow Pill. Daya, Betty.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Willow. Daya, Camden. I can't remember. Anyway. Yeah. And Nigeria.

[Monet X Change]

That was the top five.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What I'm getting at is they could go to the finale however they want to. They can go with two. They can go with three. They can go with one. So I think that I genuinely feel

[Monet X Change]

like the girls going into a finale like that is. Go ahead.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I do think the girls did a good job. And if there was one episode to actually not eliminating one, I would Say that would be the one, to be honest.

[Monet X Change]

Work. Um, and I mean, yeah, there wasn't really much. The girls are still. Oh, yeah, the girls are still harping on Discord.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was willow pill. Someone just clarified. It was willow pill, Bosco, Diabete, Angeria, Cam. They went to the top five. They can do whatever they want. Really.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, top seven. Um, I. The girls are still harping on this. Discord. Cheetah. Do you. Do you. After having. After sitting with it for some time, do you think that Discord cheated?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I don't think. I think Discord bent the rules. And I think if she cheated because it is a. There are legalities around the show, she would have been eliminated. And I think that she took some liberties. I think that what she did actually was punk rock. Someone pointed out. Y' all are screaming when the top. When the. When the punk rock girl breaks the rules or punk rock girls pushes the boundaries. I think she pushed the boundaries. Was it cheating when I did. Two Sasha characters were cheating when Lil Mama from Seattle burlesque girl went down and her look was from the back was a casket. The other one wasn't. Is it cheating or. Yeah, Bosco. Is it cheating or is it pushing the boundaries?

[Monet X Change]

You know, Yeah, I don't. I don't think it was cheating. I don't think that top 12 of them, everyone in one episode. Someone. Sorry, I did the thing Cray dawn said, Top 12, eliminate everyone in one episode.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And listen, guys, if you want to watch with us, you can join. Join our Patreon and our top tier and our top tier Patreon. You get to actually watch us record our podcast and we read their comments alongside with us. So let's keep moving on. So Nini Coco then asks Discord how she feels, and Discord says, all I heard was that Aman says that I should be a designer. And honestly, that is a great answer, to be honest. That is a great answer. Like, y' all may have wanted me to go home, but Aman, who is a supermodel who works in fashion and knows all the top designers, says I should be a designer. So honestly, I don't care. That would have been one of the moments. Like, it doesn't matter what y' all thought. That that went. That went past my head. When Iman said I should be a

[Monet X Change]

designer, the girl that's on my track record and I think does Jane don't have one of the best track records ever? She has three wins.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, she's. She's beaten a record of most Top placements in a row. And I think she extended the record this episode as well.

[Monet X Change]

And she's never had a bottom placement. Every placement has been high or win.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes.

[Monet X Change]

Josh. Jane don't has the best. I mean, Simone had five wins, I think her season, but she had two bottoms. So it's like. Like, how do you. I think this. I think a clean, like always, high winning three, maybe a fourth one. Jane Doe might have the best track record ever of any queen.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Always. Bianca, she's the longest. She has the record for the longest top streak in Drag Race history. Work. She would have worked. I mean, she's doing a fantastic job.

[Monet X Change]

Obviously. She is, but she's doing such a good job that the girls are not even trying to compet. They're like, she's the funny one. She's gonna be good. Like, it's like. It's like with Jane Don't. Besides Mikey, the rest of them are just competing for a second. Like, that's the energy and the vibe at this point.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's going on is that Discord and Darlene are the only two girls who do not have a win. And by the end of the episode, by the end of the episode, Discord is the only queen in the competition who does not have a win. Which obviously does not bode well for Discord at all.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, but no, Cameron. Oh, no. Cameron Michaels won his episode by eight.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

His.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I've told you this several times. You RuPaul Cameron Michaels. I call all of y' all his all the time.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why? Cameron Michaels is not even her real name, but Cameron.

[Monet X Change]

Cause Cameron to me is a. Is a. Is a. I mean, I know called Cameron Diaz here. I want to say they are Cameron Diaz, but when I see Cameron Michaels also. Because Cameron's also. His whole thing is I am the bodybuilder. Like, I'm the bro. E. Whatever. So I just. I go with him.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I just want. I was just wondering if Cameron Diaz got the same treatment. All right, so what about Derrick Berry?

[Monet X Change]

Derrick Berry?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't know. I don't really.

[Monet X Change]

I don't really talk about Derek often. I don't know what I would say about Derek. Do you. Do you are the queens of you him Bob?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not really. No. I mean, kind of. I mean, I him you sometimes I'll him people sometimes, but not normally. I see her people who aren't even drag queens.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, you hear me about my drag name?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, nigga. What the fuck you gonna do about it?

[Monet X Change]

First of, what's your delayed ass camera with your Fucking cheap ass Wi Fi and that fucking shitty ass building you at, nigga. First of all, Your mouth is 10 hours delayed from what the fuck we're hearing. So fix your shit before you come for us. So what are you gonna do about it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What are you gonna do about it?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, no, we're gonna have to suffer through it. Everyone in the chat, me, Jacob J. We're all looking at you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Struggle with you, sir.

[Monet X Change]

What do you do about that? Oh, honey, that's the only.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You can hand me.

[Monet X Change]

Only one honey. Because the man is everything, comes into

[Bob the Drag Queen]

the workroom and announces the mini challenge is all about. So the next day, Nene floats the idea to a couple of girls that a double elimination could be on the way. And everyone seems annoyed, which I find funny because just a few minutes ago, y' all were annoyed that no one went home, and now y' all are thinking that Nene Coco is the gloomy. What do you call it? Dementor. What do you call the things that suck? The room? The. The mentor for acknowledging that there might be a double elimination coming up. Now, Nene's the devil.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, like, and we're talking about this later. This, like, this. This. This negative Nene narrative that is a thing. Like, if this is her thing on Drag Race, it has not been portrayed to me through the screen. I have not felt this until this episode, everyone talking about it. But, yeah, I agree. I was like, it's not that crazy to see a double. A double elimination might be coming. Like, everyone's acting. Like, she said, oh, well, you stink, and I'm gonna take a knife and gut you. Like, it's like, girl, it's like, not all that she'.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

They're making it sound like she said, well, someone could die today.

[Monet X Change]

Like, really, it was really a lot, which is great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Second, they're all like, someone needs to go home. Someone needs to go home. And then she's like, let's do two at a time. And they were like, okay, you went too far.

[Monet X Change]

So RuPaul teases a challenge, and it's very interesting to me that this is being a challenge.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So sponsored by.

[Monet X Change]

Hold on. I wasn't done.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay.

[Monet X Change]

Ruth teases the challenge in, like, the little video thing. And then he comes in saying that there's gonna be a mini challenge that. But it's interesting to me knowing that from it's gonna be a roast that they did the reading challenge last week and not the reading challenge this week. To me, that's. That's so, like, those, to me, go hand in Hand.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Has the reading challenge challenge ever been on the same episode as Roast?

[Monet X Change]

No, but I'm saying, like, not but, but they. They've been far enough apart. I'm like, why do we not. Like, why do not do the reading challenge for the roast episode?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why didn't give as much thought. They do this. They do this scentbird challenge where they have to make ads for fragrances because this is so sponsored. I don't love it because they didn't let the girls get as dirty and filthy as they wanted to be. And they seemed also overly produced because they're. They have to look nice. Right? So there's no quick drag. I don't know when these girls shot these. They are in full drag. They look fantastic. They start out of drag, they spray it, and then they go into these new looks. My favorite one was Kenya Pleaser saying, I like my wigs. Like, I like my relationships messy. That was my favorite one. I would have given the win to to Kenya Pleaser, but they gave it to Mikey Meeks and she won $2,500 and she gets to choose the order of the toast to Alyssa Edwards.

[Monet X Change]

I don't remember what Mikey Meeks one was. Like, none of them. I didn't watch any of them. I think maybe Darlene was the one I chuckled at the most, but none of them that I wore stood out. Like, this was great. I didn't really give it a note.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So when they started writing, Darlene, you know, reveals that she has never done a roast before. She's never roasted anyone before.

[Monet X Change]

And Darlene, I think it was a roasting Alyss. For those who are the girls, this episode they are roasting Alyssa Edwards. Last year was Plane, Jane, Candy, Muse, and somebody else. I like this. I like bringing back old draggers girls and having them be roasted by the girls. I think that's fun. Because how many times are going to do the roast of Michelle, the roast of Carson, the roast of Rue. Like, I like that they're bringing back draggers girls.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And she's never going to put us on the judges panel, so we might as well get to sit and get made fun of. Like we're on the judges panel. You know what I mean? So during this, Darlene and realizes she's or tells everyone or at least tells Jane that she's never roasted anyone before. And Darlene's making herself laugh, but Jane is laughing, but it seems like she's laughing at her as opposed to laughing with her, but she's not being mean about it.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And. And Jane says. She says, I think that it's an essential that this. That roasting is an essential part of being a queen. Do you agree? I don't think so. I think

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would say it is quintessential queendom. Like, it is. It is a staple with Queensland roasting and reading. But I wouldn't say it is an essential part. But I would say it is very par for the course. I would say that.

[Monet X Change]

I was gonna say not even queens. I feel just queer people. I feel like I learned about roasting and reading and shading each other when I was in high school and with all my friends in ballroom. Like, I feel like that's when I learned what reading and shade was not necessarily drag queens. I mean, just, like, queer culture, like, shade, like, throwing shady thoughts. I don't know if it is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, we used to roast when I was a kid, but it wasn't queer. We were just. It was all the kids. We would all get around and roast each other. We loved roasting each other. But then as I got older, I do think that straight people are less bitchy and reedy to each other than queer people are. I will say that. But not all queer people. Some folks who are just, like, really sensitive, like, some folks, like, just don't want to be read.

[Monet X Change]

Paige Turner.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Some folks do not want to be read. Even some queens don't want to be read because they don't, you know. But in those queens defense, they don't read either.

[Monet X Change]

You know, Ken Dweeza says in her talking head, she said, you know, I think I'm a funny bitch. And I'm telling y' all the lack of self confidence. She says this with. I'm like, girl, you don't even believe that you're a funny bitch. Like, I was like, girl, what?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think that Kenya is operating from a place of humor often, but I don't think she's particularly funny. Yeah, but I think that she's. I think what's happening is Kenya says things. People acknowledge that it is a joke, and they laugh out of a social norm. They're like, ha, ha. Even though what she said wasn't particularly funny, I'm the awkward bitch who won't laugh when someone tells a joke. I don't think it's funny. If I don't think it's funny. I just don't laugh at it. I'll just look at you blankly. But a lot of people will laugh at the acknowledgement. Laugh at a joke as acknowledgement as opposed to actually laughing, because the Joke is funny.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. So Miss Mikey Mink gets to. As Bob said before, she won the mini challenge, so she gets to choose the order. And I've said this before, I say it every time. The order really does not matter. The order is really. It's a. It's a reality beat to get people, like, in their feelings and one thing. But the order really doesn't matter. Like, because I think if you're at, like, a comedy club or if you're at, like, a thing, like, you know, something that's more official, like, the order will matter, but in a challenge on Drag Race, where the judges are there to laugh, like, if someone really bombs and, like, you have to reset the room, like, sure. But it's not. I don't think the order really matters in these, if I'm being quite honest.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. I don't think the set is long enough for it to matter. When a set is really long, when people are doing, like, 10 minutes each, then a set can. Then order can matter.

[Monet X Change]

You have a minute and 30 seconds, basically.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But here on Drag Race, I don't think it matters that much. And actually, the time it does matter is following someone really bad because you actually. It is harder to follow someone who's bad than it is to follow someone who's good, because you can ride the waves of someone good. You do not want to ride the wave with someone who's doing poorly on Drag Race.

[Monet X Change]

Or. You mean in life?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

On Drag Race or in life in general, if someone's bombing before you, you don't want to go up after them.

[Monet X Change]

I disagree. I think on Drag Race, if someone bombs before you and you are just anything, you're not the funniest or the best. Just you being not as bad as the bitch before you. Like, whoever went after Utica, if you are not that awkward and made the room so weird, you're going to look better. You know what I'm saying? In Drag Race, at a comedy show, I agree with you. But on Drag Race, I think going out that was really bad is good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I've never done comedy on Drag Race in this format, like standup or roasting, so I wouldn't. I would. I wouldn't really have that context, to be honest. This episode is sponsored by Airbnb. I've been having so much fun partnering with them, because between drag gigs, filming and touring, I'm always on the move, and hotel life can be pretty draining. I'm serious, y'.

[Monet X Change]

Booking stays with Airbnb has changed the game. When I go on tour, I need a home base that actually feels like a home. I love having extra, extra space to spread out. And it's those extra, like, everyday comforts,

[Monet X Change]

you know what I mean?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like sitting at a real kitchen table or having a cozy living room to decompress in that makes it all the different, you know what I mean? Plus, chatting with hosts gives you that local perspective you just can't get anywhere else. It makes me feel connected to the neighborhood instead of just passing through it. I booked this gorgeous mountain chalet in Jackson Hole on Airbnb with a full view of the Grand Tentons. While I had a show out there, right, I could fully rehearse in the living room without anyone banging on the walls, barging in, knocking on the door, trying to bring me extra towels and stuff. There's a giant mud room for all my drag at night. And honestly, I'd sit in the outdoor hot tub under the sars. It felt like a really glamorous retreat.

[Monet X Change]

Traveling this way just feels more authentic and human. So glam up your trip by using Airbnb to find an amazing place to stay.

It's really exciting to see her.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, wait, wait. Before you get there, when Miki's. Miki, when Mikey is talking about how she's gonna choose an order, she kind of like, I don't Know how I'm gonna choose it. But then at the table read, when Michelle starts asking her questions about why she put who where we. She, she. She divulges like, yeah, bitch, I, I did it. I did it. I did it strategically.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But I don't really understand the strategy. Like, I don't, I don't really personally get her strategy personally. But I mean it didn't hurt. It didn't hurt her. I'll say that. It didn't hurt her.

[Monet X Change]

I got it. I think that, I think. I mean the only one. I got it. Which I, I didn't. I don't see how Kenny didn't clock that this was shady that Mikey put Kenya before her. Because I think Mikey knew that Kenya was not gonna do well and it would make Mikey shine. Cause Mikey would do a good job. I, that's the one strategic one play that may have worked for her, I guess.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I do not think following someone who's doing bad is good. As someone who's just been doing comedy for a while. There is no part of me that wants to go up after someone has absolutely just destroyed the vibe. There is no part of me I don't want no part in that. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

No, I love that because then you get to make the. Literally the just you have a pocket full of jokes and be like, well, that, well, that person was shitty well after that bomb.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

Like, I think that girl, like you have a built in arsenal of three or four jokes you can do.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I also don't think those jokes are funny. That was something. I think that's a. I just think it's a really lazy joke and it's one of those jokes I think people are laughing at. There can be a moment where you're laughing and you're acknowledging something we all see. But I think they're lazy. I don't think they're that funny. And it is the most expected joke in comedy. That was great. I don't think that juice is worth the squeeze. It's not worth it to go after someone who's doing terribly just to get that fucking joke in there.

[Monet X Change]

Me, I like them when the person instead of just saying something really vague like, well, that was bad. When they like reference a. A specific part of their. That was bad. Like after Utica making a funny joke about it being bad, but referencing the whale thing, I think that would. Then it's funny. But if it's just a basic, like, well, we. Well, well that. Well, now, now onto from that bomb like, okay, yeah, sure.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's what we got today. That's literally what we got today. Um, the table read. Cray dawn says the table read was kind of weird. I wouldn't want to say my jokes in front of the other queens. Let's go on to the table read then.

[Monet X Change]

So. Especially after the fucking last season.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So Asuko is. Is coaching and judging on the judges panel, and Discord actually does pretty well at the roundtable. I think her jokes are landing. She's not, like, crushing it, but she's certainly not doing poorly, which I think is a good thing.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Um, why did she change her joke about quickly? What's her name? Or they may have just cut it. But that is an objectively funny joke. And either. I don't know if she cut it or if she changed it. It looked like the joke changed when it got to the thing. There's a chance that sometimes they cut. Sometimes they do cut the joke that they tell at the roundtable. Because you don't want to.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Because you've heard them already. Yeah. Also, she may have, like, rewritten. She may have thought that she can make it. Punch it up and make it better on her own. Yeah. Nene does her jokes and they're not landing at all. And you know, I say this oftentimes. Everyone does not have to be good at everything on Drag Race. And Nene. Nene is good at so many other things on Drag Race. She is a great designer. She's a great performer. Her Wonder Woman show is great. She's shown a lot of places. Maybe comedy right now is just not her thing. So I'm not holding it against her. She's really good. But maybe comedy is just not her bad girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't understand why she says she's trying to shrink herself. Like, I do not. I don't see what benefit you could possibly have in a competition where you're meant to stand out by trying to shrink yourself. That is, to me, that is a crazy goal to have to minimize yourself.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And I wrote down, like, again, this narrative they're trying to tell that Nene, like, Nene starts talking about her relationship with the other girls. And I guess she's trying to say that she doesn't want to roast them in a roasting challenge because she doesn't want to fuel the fire more that she says the awkward thing. I'm like, girl, I think it's a reach. I think it's a cop out. I think she's not good at telling jokes and she's using this, like, vibe with the other girls. Cause she doesn't want to be too mean to them. I'm like, girl, it's a fucking roast. Like, it is what it is. What are you talking about? You don't want, like, I think it's a cop out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm on your fence. The other girls are seconding what she's saying. It's not like Nene's not creating this narrative on her own. The other girl's like, yeah, she's weird. Her vibes are off. She doesn't read the room. So it's. So it's not in Nene's head?

[Monet X Change]

No, it's not in Nene's head. But I think she's using that to be like, oh, yeah, well, yeah, that's why I'm bad. Cause I don't want to be too mean. And also, Nene is very fucking smart. I'm like, girl, you know, it's a rose. Like, you can. You can make jokes. But I think she knows, like, this is what the girls have said. They've said it on camera. It is the thing. She's like, oh, yeah, let me say that I don't want to be too mean. That's why I'm not doing good in this one challenge, because I just. Because I just don't want them to think I'm too mean.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nene, in my opinion, more like Nene, uh. Oh, that's how they act like she is negative. Nene. Here comes the, you know, Eeyore of Drag. Um, Juicy's ladder joke is so weird. You know, she might as well just say, but enough about me being dropped on my head as a baby. That would be funnier than being like, but enough. But now I'll tell you later, I'll tell you to her about me being born from a ladder. But, like, I would just be like, but enough about me being dropped on my head as a child. That would make it way quicker.

[Monet X Change]

But in her mind, all right, she's not a comedian. She doesn't write jokes. Or maybe she just thought that she needs to paint the picture more for it to be funny and bless her. But yeah, that was a really, really strange joke.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sierra Cruz says Monet can't believe a girl. A girl actually can't believe a girl actually sucks at a challenge. Maybe she just sucks and she just is bad. It's just bad because I don't know if she said she was holding back because she also didn't acknowledge that she was a great comedian. And this is what I wrote. I didn't realize that. I didn't realize the girls thought Nene was shady. I guess it just has not been shown on the show. I did not realize that Nene is an awkward downer. Was part of the experience on RuPaul's Drag Race season 18.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree. I didn't get that at all. That's all. And Mikey. And Mikey was. Mikey was good. I thought this was weird. Like, Mikey had a. She had some good jokes. It was good. It's crazy to me that she went back home and maybe not redid her set, but she, like, obsessed and, like, I guess. Yeah, she rewrote a lot of her jokes. To me, that's crazy. Acting like she had, like, Anini experience. Atsuko and Michelle both said, great job. That's funny. Why would you go home and rework the material?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Well, as Mikey said, while they were getting ready to do their makeup, Mikey said she woke up on the wrong side of the bed. She's in a bad mood, and maybe she's woke up not feeling good. She was like, maybe she's. You know, somehow you wake up in a bad mood, and you're just like, I don't know. I'm not feeling good. You wake up feeling negative, and you're like, maybe she had the Nene Coco soundtrack playing in her head. And she was like, this is all shit.

[Monet X Change]

Everyone hates me.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're all gonna die. There's gonna be a double elimination.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. When I wake up on the wrong side of bed sometimes I hate the kitchen counter cabinet I chose. I don't wake up in a bad mood, take a sledgehammer and destroy my whole kitchen. I'm like, well, I hate it. Move on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You gonna read that?

[Monet X Change]

Damon Joseph said, Wait, take him for the back Jamon. Joseph said in a tug, Mikey said, I wanted to wear something gorgeous. And Nene lightly joked, so why'd you wear that? And everyone acted like she took Mikey out back and shot her.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, do the girls not. Do the girls just not like Nene?

[Monet X Change]

I think that Nene is very talented

[Bob the Drag Queen]

and maybe shadier stuff than Nene does. But I will say Jane was fun here.

[Monet X Change]

I will say they need to not be on a season with Mistress Isabel Burrow because they would have unalived themselves. Mistress would have been there 13th, 14th, and 15th.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Reasons, well, Jane does go check in on Nini. I think she gave her some good advice about navigating, like, how to be a little bitchy, but having the girls still like her because Jane seems to have figured this out. Like, Jane is a little bitchy, and the girls really like her. So I would say that Jane was very sisterly. She was a sister, and she went over and gave Nene a little pep talk.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree. I wrote that. I wrote that one too. And Jane gave a really good pep talk. Pep talk.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You want to get into the challenge?

[Monet X Change]

Yes. Let's get into the challenge.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All right, I'll start by saying Alyssa Edwards looks fantastic.

[Monet X Change]

Girl, I think this look is great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love this wig. I love this. This silhouette. This dress just looks amazing. She looks phenomenal.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, Alyssa looks incredible. Her leg. Her legs. Her leg looks amazing. This. Yeah, she looks divine. I love Alyssa.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I can't be sure, but I bet the other leg looks good too.

[Monet X Change]

I can't be sure, but can't confirm, but probably.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go on to our first queen who goes up with Discord. I think what you wear does matter, and I don't think this is crazy enough to make it awkward, but it is a little bizarre.

[Monet X Change]

It is really weird. It's such. It's so weird. This bitch refuses to wear a corset. She will not wear a corset ever. She hates it. This outfit, it was distracting to look at because I was like, what is this bodice? What am I looking at? And I said, the only thing stiffer than Discord's walk is her delivery. She is so stiff in this delivery. I'm like, even when she was at the table read, she felt more com. I guess that makes sense why you would feel more comfortable at the table Read it. Just Michelle and Atuko. Now RuPaul is staring at you like this. So I get it when you're in drag, physically uncomfortable. Yeah. Well, is she uncomfortable? She had no damn corset on. What the fuck is she uncomfortable about? But her delivery was so stiff, and I think that if she just worked on her delivery, I actually think she had funny material. It was just so stiff and so robotic and. And her cadence and the way she delivered the jokes was just weird.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I. So first of all, I thought her toast was actually pretty good. Her little toast she did about Come on her and something about Michelle.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But the issue with her delivery, that she's. You can see that she's literally. Literally reading like. She literally, like. And then that was the. That was what it sounded like, which I don't think was. I don't. I think that was a big part of the problem. Um, and then at some point, she. She was like. She made a joke about Kenya Pleaser reading the menu at California Pizza Kitchen. No. Cheesecake Factory.

[Monet X Change]

She's getting back there, which I thought was funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And then Kenya goes, cause I'm fat? I wish she responded, no. Cause you can't read. That's what I thought would have been a great way to one up it. You know what I mean? Yeah, but. But she didn't. I don't think she had that that quick. But I think the. The main issue with her set was really her delivery guys. Think of. Think of jokes like food. If the delivery is poor, it' they're cold. You know, everyone's going to be in a bad mood eating it. Like, the delivery is as important as the food itself, quite frankly.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree. Let's move on to our next scene. Wait, wait, wait. Sorry. Jay for pay says something about Discord's comedy just gives. I think that everything I'm saying is the funniest thing that anyone's ever said.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't.

[Monet X Change]

I. I don't. I don't think. I don't. I mean, she is delusional. And she has said many times, every time everyone chances she says she's in the bottom, she's like, actually, no, I wasn't. So she is illusional. I would hope she's not that delusional about her comedy. But, you know, who knows? I don't know this girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go into Jane. Don't. This look is perfectly fine. I think the judges were kind of glazing this look a little bit. This is a perfectly fine look. Michelle was like that stunning red. Like, she looks nice.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, it looks good. Y', all, I'm sorry. This is my winner. We're gonna get to who the winner was. I thought Jane fucking killed it. Her jokes were so good. The one about RuPaul is so old. The first time she said why I gotta be black? She's talking about the plague. Was fucking funny. Michelle was seven on Strictly Come Dancing first and Strictly cum guzzling. So good. Julie Love Dion being the only the one child George Bush left behind.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was a really great set. These were really funny jokes she did. She had the best writing.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She seemed most comfortable. It never sounded like she was reading. Yeah, this was. This was great.

[Monet X Change]

This was so good. It's like, in my opinion, Leap like Lightyear is beyond everyone else. But I'm not a judge on RuPaul's Dragger Season 18.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go to our next girl. Juicy Love Dion. Can I ask, what is a Bichon fleece? What is that?

[Monet X Change]

I Don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is it a.

[Monet X Change]

Like, a white poodle, like, dog?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let me. Oh, it's her dog. So she's saying you were her fairy Godmother and Shrek 2 has one.

[Monet X Change]

I don't remember that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There you go.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, that dog. Oh, wow.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. That was a bad joke. Her joke.

[Monet X Change]

That being said, it was a bad joke.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I mean, the biggest laugh of her set was Alyssa's comeback about taking more than three times the winner. She was like, from looks, girl, you don't take more than three times. That was the biggest. When the biggest laugh from your set is someone else tagging your joke, this is not. This is not a great moment. I will say, love this hair on her.

[Monet X Change]

What you want? A few weeks ago, you were saying that you don't like her with big hair or long hair. Wasn't that you?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, I think I just didn't like her in that hair. But she looks good in this hair.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I think. I think big hair looks nice on her. I really do. I. I don't remember what this outfit fully was, but looking at here, I don't like it. But maybe it was cool seeing the whole thing. The podium is in the way a little bit, you know?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go on to our next queen, shall we?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Up next, Darlene McMahon's Be Smoking Crack, shooting meth, boofing coke up my booty hole. I did not understand the hype around this performance. I was like, maybe I am dumb and I just don't get it. The way everyone on the stage was guffawing, cackling, falling over. The judges are on the table, like, snapping, crackling, popping, back flipping. I was like, was it really that good? I was so curious what you thought about this performance.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This might be one of those moments where they know Darlene should have won two challenges by now that they stole from her and gave to someone else. She should have won this last design challenge. And maybe this is one of those Oscars that they give you after you didn't do as. Maybe it's one of those moments. You know what I mean? Maybe that's what's happening here. I don't think she was bad. I think that she was. I genuinely think she was solidly safe. I do think, though, that whenever someone's at a roast, and I've seen this in real roast, too, and they're not good at roasting and they choose to do, like, some alt joke bit, I don't love it. I don't love when, like, what's his name? From Lonely Island. He was on snl.

[Monet X Change]

Lonely Island. What show is that?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Andy Sandberg. Adam Sandman. Andy Sandberg. Andy Sandberg did a set like this at a roast where he went to do a roast, and instead he was just being really, really nice. He was like, I can't remember who it was. He was like, he's so nice. He took me to dinner and paid for the bill burn.

[Monet X Change]

And I was like, I remember this. It was on one of the roasts.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And the bit was funny, but it feels like a cop out. It feels like maybe you shouldn't have taken this gig. Yeah. You know what I mean?

[Monet X Change]

I was so irritated. I was so irritated by this. Pulling all the fucking. I did not think the banana or the fucking purse was funny. I did not think the burger was. I did not think it was. I was like, bitch, this burger was funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I thought the burger was funny. I like where she goes, but I can't see it. It takes the glass off. And then she goes, a burger. That was pretty funny to me. It kind of reminds me of this bit that Bo Burnham used to do where he'd be like, my dad always accuses me of being gay. And then he takes a fistful of glitter and goes, what do you mean? Like, that little moment is really funny to me. I do think she took it a little to a moment where I didn't think they were all funny, but I also didn't.

[Monet X Change]

Clown nose. The clown nose.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

The moments I liked were the burger, the clown nose, and the shoe at the end. Those were the three I liked. The banana was really not funny to me at all.

[Monet X Change]

The shoe was the only thing I was funny because we had a reference for that. The Misha hunted. Whatever. The burger, nothing was funny. The banana, I think that was funny. And the clown nose. I was like. I was like, now that you come in to do your roast with all these props and like, yes, we do like a. I do like a character for us. I don't mind doing a character or whatever, but, like, Coco Montrese being RuPaul's cousin. But I don't like. I did not. I did not get this. I was so irritated by this. And I'm like, this is. Remember when they gave. They. Did Lexi win or Lexi was supposed to do something and they were like, ugh.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was Snatch Game. She didn't win, though.

[Monet X Change]

All right, Gilbert Godfrey. But she got high praise for bombing the Snatch Game. I'm like, what are you talking about? She wasn't even a character. This is literally a character game.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I agree. I don't think she should have won this challenge. I think she should have won last week. And I think that, oh, the gerbils are off the table business. Jln. So she goes. Something I've gathered from spending the time with you, RuPaul, is that Gerbils are not off the table. That is a pretty funny bit as well. If you don't know. That's a reference to people gerbiling, which is where you take a gerbil, put in the condom, put up your asshole. Which, there's actually no confirmed cases of that ever happening anywhere. Um, but that, that was a funny bit. So I. I don't think that she deserved to win, but I do think she deserved to be solidly safe.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I would have been safe. Winning was crazy. Between traveling for tours and filming the pod, I just don't have the patience to play grocery store detective anymore, okay?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You wanna move on to Nene Coco.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go on to Lanifia Coco.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, a really odd moment in this. I think this outfit is cute. It's fine. A moment I thought was really weird is when she said she was like, asuka, who does your hair? I want to avoid them. And someone goes, oh, come on.

[Monet X Change]

Who said that? I didn't hear that.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, no, it didn't say who it was. It just showed her being like, tell me. Like, show me. I want to find out who did your hair so I can avoid them. And then someone goes, oh, come on. And I was like, why are they trying to build this narrative? This is crazy. This is a roast. She can't say she wants to avoid Atsuko's hairstylist. This is ins, y'.

[Monet X Change]

All.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're doing too much. We're doing too much, y'. All. Did anyone else catch that? Oh, come on.

[Monet X Change]

I don't know. I was like.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was like, this is crazy. Y' all are doing way too much now. Y' all are. Y' all are doing too much to push this Nene Coco is awkward. Awkward situation.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. Oh, Michelle said it. Okay, whatever. Yeah, I think it was. I think again, her set was not great. It was fine. I think it was perfectly low safe. I think her placement she got was fine. There was no joke of note that stuck out to me. And this outfit was interesting. It's so weird seeing her. This hair is weird on her because she's. I don't know. She. Something's afoot here. I don't know what it is.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can I see?

[Monet X Change]

No titties. The titties. She got no titties. And those pointy shoulders.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She says, you have the time. Can I say what's really weird is something. There's a thing on reality TV now where they don't outright call someone autistic, but they really strongly insinuated. And I feel like there's a strong insinuation that during this episode that Nene Coco doesn't pick up on social cues. She doesn't know how to read the room. She doesn't understand when people are having a good time. And it feels like there's like an insinuation that Nene Koko is a little tizzy.

[Monet X Change]

Well, I mean, albeit, I think that, you know, she's a bad comedian. She's not funny.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And there are some very hilarious autistic people. Let's go autistic.

[Monet X Change]

Some of my best friends are hilarious autistic people.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's move on to another very unfunny person, Kenya Pleaser.

[Monet X Change]

Bob. Come on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She wasn't. She. Oh, come on. First of all, she Looks amazing.

[Monet X Change]

She does look good. I mean, I don't remember the dress, but was she the one that spilled her cocktail as soon as she got up there? Was that her?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was Discord.

[Monet X Change]

No, it was. Oh, yeah. Maybe it was Discord. Yeah, she does look beautiful. I mean, all the times that she wanted to look like Lizzo, now she look like Lizzo.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. Can I. Okay, so she does this thing that I really don't like when comedians do, which is when your joke's not working, and then you try to tag it in real time. Like, she'll tell a joke, and the joke bombs, and then she goes, am I right, girl? That's what I'm. That's what I'm saying. You know what I'm talking about, Michelle know what's going on? I hate that shit. That shit drives me. It's like, girl, just let it die. You're dragging. You're putting the joke on life support. And we want to watch her pass

[Monet X Change]

away quietly, which was crazy, because her. What am I saying? Her table read. She did a good job. The table read again. She wasn't like, knee slap. Oh, my God. I said funny story live. But the pacing was good and the jokes were funny. She got on that stage, and she flipped the script on herself and bombed. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bombed. And I was gagged. Cause I thought that we were gonna get a gag, that Kenya was actually gonna impress us and be like. Like, safe, maybe in the top. But because of the table read and. But yeah, she. It was not great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think what's really gagging me is that no one had any reads about Kenya Pleaser not knowing the words. I am genuinely shocked that no. Or at least it didn't air. Like, the fact that Kenya Pleaser has known so few words, including this episode. Including this episode.

[Monet X Change]

I think she has a thing with. I think she has a memory. And as someone who suffers with memory problems, I can. I get it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It. That's beside the point. She doesn't know the words. Okay?

[Monet X Change]

It is part of the point, Bob. Not knowing the words because she can't remember.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's. That's beside the point there. She needs to know the words. This is. We need. This is. This is the lip sync Valentina. We need to see. We need to see your face. Like

[Monet X Change]

Ashana said. At least she didn't mention fried chicken. Were you happy about that, Bob?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I did enjoy that, yes. And I. But my favorite part was her doing the Rigamoras nigga Morris joke. And it cuts to Rupaul. Just blankly staring at her. She was like, rigga Moore, can you call us something else? I was like, what she call us? Go back, y', all, and watch. It's just RuPaul.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, my God. I'm getting a second hand embarrassment again. Cause I was watching it. I rarely cringe and, like, have to look away from the tv. I had to look away from the. I had to look away from the TV. Cause I felt so uncomfortable. Cause RuPaul was not engaging. The only other black person in the room. RuPaul was not engaging. I was like, nigga, come on, just get. Throw her a bone, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But then she tries. Cause she did the thing. She tried to tag. She goes, rigor Morris. I was like, rigor Morris. And then. And then RuPaul doesn't know. She goes, what? I was like, what she call us? And then RuPaul's staring. She goes, you know, Because I was like. Then RuPaul just like, RuPaul, like, she

[Monet X Change]

ain't talking to me. That. I think RuPaul could have gave her just at least a smirk, girl. I was so uncomfortable. I was so uncomfortable.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I was like, Jesus. Jesus Christ.

[Monet X Change]

It was rough. Let's go on to our last. Oh, go ahead.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go on to. No, there's two Mikey Meeks. Yeah,

[Monet X Change]

I think Mikey looks great.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Mikey looks great. Always looks great. Can we go ahead and just say right now that Mikey Meeks almost across the board, Actually, I can't think of a single time Mikey's ever not looking. Look fantastic on this season.

[Monet X Change]

I think her entrance. I think. I think her entrance was weird. But anyway, yeah, I thought Mikey was great. I mean, from the time we found out it was a roast challenge, I knew she looks great. I look good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Mikey always looks good. Mikey is a stunning queen. She looks great. Every time she's on that goddamn stage, she's on the camera. If she's in a challenge, she looks good every fucking time.

[Monet X Change]

What I see, I just see Bendelacreme. I see Mikey. Me, I just see Bendelacreme out of drag. I mean, in drag.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm not gonna lie to you guys. I still see an Asian woman. And I'm so sorry. I cannot figure out what it is about her that looks Asian to me.

[Monet X Change]

I agree. I agree with you. I see Asian.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I cannot figure it out.

[Monet X Change]

But I think that from the time we knew it was a roast, I knew Jane and Mikey wouldn't be the best ones there. And I still think they were. And I think Mikey did not. Did not disappoint I think she had great jokes like Grace Jones great jokes. I think her referen herself by doing her smash game Drew Barrymore character with Ross Matthews. The Ross Matthews bit was funny. I thought Mikey did a stand up job. She was so good at the roast.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She found out how to do a little bit but not take it too far. She did it just enough times and I think she had one of the best jokes of the evening. A trade war for Alyssa is when her trade. When her trick finds out she's the top bitch.

[Monet X Change]

So good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. Not too much. Hold on. Not too much. Okay, now y' all doing too much. Peyton. Ricky says episode idea Roast of Bomo.

[Monet X Change]

Honestly, should we do the roast of bomo?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But half the cast roast Bob and half the cast roast Monet and the opposite person does. The table reads.

[Monet X Change]

The table reads.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you, you. So you. So half the cast is roasting me. Half the cast is roasting you. You're with the cast roasting me and I'm with the cast roasting you.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, that's cute. That would be a good idea, Bob. Should we do that? We can do like a. We can do it at a venue here in la.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, you don't. You don't want a picture to world Wonder?

[Monet X Change]

No, thank you. I'll pass.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Damn. Damn. Now they're never gonna give you the hosting position. You were actually being considered for the next host and now that you said that, they'll never call you toots anyway.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, so I thought Mikey killed it, but there's no surprise. Like, but okay, who do you. Do you. Do you like me? Do you get the sense that the girls are competing for second besides Mikey?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, maybe besides Mikey. I think that. I think in my opinion, Mikey's gonna win this season. Mikey should win this season. She has proven.

[Monet X Change]

You think Mikey's doing a better job than Jane Doaned?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I do. Really? I think. What is she just. She's just more for me. She's just more for me. I'm more interested in what Mikey does and what Jane don't does, to be honest. Maybe that's. I don't. I don't know what it is. I just think she's. You know what it is? She's better in the. I think she's better in the acting challenges. Jane is good in the acting challenges. I think Mikey's better also. Watching Mikey essentially coach Juicy through the thing showed a lot about Mikey's talents, like, and how she views comedy, how she views people on stage. I just think she's really good.

[Monet X Change]

I think that on paper, I think Jane is doing a good job. I think I've liked more of Jane of the of what Jane has worn on the runways as well. I think that Jane is up there with Nini Coco as too. And honestly, she hasn't Drag Race in a really long time. I've just really been impressed with Jane's entire overall package for clothes. I think she's so fucking talented. She's very smart. She's a very funny person. I think she had the best roast hair. And her acting, I think is great. I do think, personality wise, I do like Mikey Meeks more. Like, I, I not saying I wouldn't be friends with Jane.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Don't.

[Monet X Change]

But if I had two phones, I could only text one of these girls ever. I would choose Mikey over Jane. But I do think Jane is in for the competition doing a better job. I do.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Also, if Jane wins Drag Race, we'll all suffer for it.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, let's move on.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Since you mentioned Jane's amazing looks, let's talk about some looks on the Runway. Okay.

[Monet X Change]

Transition. Oh, so you transitioning now?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

There it is. Let's wear these looks. I love RuPaul was wearing a tall shoe.

[Monet X Change]

This fucking outfit. When that tall bitch came across that thing, I said, RuPaul better work. This is such a cool look.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah. And everyone looks great. I have no critiques for anyone. Everyone looks fantastic. I love this hair on Ruth. This is her coronavirus hair. I call this her coronavirus hair. It looks great. Great. Let's go on to the next one.

[Monet X Change]

Let's go on to the first discord. Awful.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Awful.

[Monet X Change]

And the category was. What was it? It was blowing the wind swept away. So they had, like, a big ass fan at the end of the Runway. So the girls were prompted with, your outfit needs to blow in the Runway. I don't know if they knew to have fans, but that was a prompt that they told them they had to have.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So it looks like she's doing like a mugler nodded. You think this is awful.

[Monet X Change]

I did not like this. I did not like this.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

But you think it's awful?

[Monet X Change]

Yes, I did not like it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Interesting. I think she looks. I think this is a cool look. It's not like a blow away, but I think she looks good. I think it's an interesting look. I don't agree with Michelle that it wasn't blowing in the wind. It is structured, and it's blowing in the wind. This is every bit as structured as the wings on Kenya's outfit. So I don't understand why. Maybe it's because it's connected, because I saw Win moving through it. But I think she. I like this look. It's not like a knockout, but I think this is honestly a really cool. Oh, she said that too. Let's go. Let's move on to our next look. So Michelle Grandman said Kingsley's wasn't boring either. Let's go on to Jane. Don't.

[Monet X Change]

I thought this was good. I was, like, blown away by it, but I thought it was good. I thought it was a.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What are you.

[Monet X Change]

I can't believe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Is it opposite day? This looks amazing.

[Monet X Change]

I thought it was good. I wasn't. I didn't think it was, like, a knockout. I thought it was good.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's happening today?

[Monet X Change]

Cause she went more with, like, a street sweeper. Swept away. She was like, I'm gonna clean the stage, not blow in the wind.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think this looks really cool. She looks like someone in one of those old Bob Mackie video set, like, dresses or outfits. This looks like. This looks so cool. If I saw this, it would. Just in person, I would be like, m. God, this looks amazing to me. I really, really, really like this look. I think she looks amazing. I love this headpiece. I love these. The fringe on the sleeves. I love the fringe on the. The. The leotard. The. I. I love this look. This look is fantastic.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I didn't. I didn't love this. I thought it was. It was fine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's move on to our next one. Next we have. Okay, I have a big problem with this. How is that piece connected to this outfit? Not physically, thematically.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah, I would agree with that. Maybe even just changing the color to be something in this, like, fiery color would have been, like, made more sense, but, like, just this white.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Can you see a level of design in it too? Can we get an applique? A rhinestone? It literally looks like she got dressed, laid down, grabbed a fitted sheet, and then ran to the stage.

[Monet X Change]

It did look like a fitted sheet. It really did.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Why were they gagging for this? I'm so. I'm so confused. I'm so confused.

[Monet X Change]

Also, girl, throw on some pads and some titties.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I hated this thing. And the problem is that it actually looks really cool. It's a really cool effect, but, like, we can't get any element of design in that thing. I could have made that thing behind her in my first six weeks. Six weeks of being a drag queen. Literally. It is a big sheet, several pieces sewn together with it's. A fitted sheet with either elastic or some sort of a string pulled through. This is crazy. This is crazy.

[Monet X Change]

That is not a parachute.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's what she kept saying. But also, why? What's happening? This is so lazy. She released this YouTube video where she redid the look and made it a little bit better. I mean, that's still. I guess this doesn't.

[Monet X Change]

That makes more sense.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Go ahead, Ma.

[Monet X Change]

I said I would. Yeah. Like this. This one. This white. Her all in white. That she should have won that on the show. That makes more sense. Like, this is more appealing than the thing she ended up wearing. If I was doing this, I would have been a bungee jumper or a skydiver and have my parachute as my family. That would have been the cunt.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That would have made more sense.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's move on to our next look.

[Monet X Change]

Jacob, she's talking about. And it's California King.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yes. Yo. This was the best Runway of the week. I'm sorry. This Runway was so fun to watch. I think she actually looks really cool. It was. I genuinely enjoyed. And usually I'm with Naomi on life that just walk the Runway. I prefer that she did it this way. Her miming was giving down. Like, I thought the. I really thought the wind was taking this bitch away. The way the scarf flies back is so cool. The way. This was great. This was really good for me. This was the best Runway of the week, truly.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I thought. I thought it was good. I liked her concept, and I love. Even her talking about the look was also really engaging. And her thought about. She's like. She's like. She's talking about this rhinestone umbrella with the spiders. Ain't saying. Stopping me from nothing. Whatever. I forget what she said, but it was all funny. Very kitschy. Yeah, I thought it was good. I like. Let's go on to our next queen. Woof.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's woof?

[Monet X Change]

This. Kenya, please look what's cunt to you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay. I didn't go that far, but woof is crazy. I think she looks good.

[Monet X Change]

I didn't like it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I love this hair. I do wish that the wings were bigger. Like, girl, bigger, bigger. Like, at least reach your wrist. Can you please? It looks to be a roughly. At minimum 5, 10, girl. At least match your wingspan. Mama, this is tiny. You're tall. You're giving tall.

[Monet X Change]

You know what it is? She looked like. Have you ever seen how to. Have you seen how to Train youn Dragon?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No.

[Monet X Change]

Well, that one of the dragons. That's a bigger dragon. And it got little Tiny ass wings on them. That's what she looked like. She looked like. She looked like if she was to take off flight, her wings would not support her, and she'd just be flying and she can't get off the ground. And so the scale of that. And as someone who. Say it again, I say.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

As someone who likes a. A small forehead. This is. Her hairline is on her eyebrows. One head.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's a. One head.

[Monet X Change]

That's crazy, girl. And put your hair like. Why is it. The wig down here? That's crazy. So all those. This, this, this. No, but show it. Show it as a.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

As.

[Monet X Change]

As a full grown adult.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is correct. Is it this one?

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't actually know enough about how to train your dragon to. To know which.

[Monet X Change]

Why are you laughing at Bob?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So you think her teeth are up?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, girl. It looked like her way anyways.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And Ashana says this is how people dress like coaches. This is how people dress at Coachella. Yo, you're right. I might be. Y' all might be turning me on this. I actually think I might. The wings are just too small. They need to be bigger, bigger, bigger. And on the week that Alyssa's there, you should know they need to be bigger. You listen to the podcast. You've heard us say bigger a thousand times, girl. Bigger, bigger.

[Monet X Change]

Her eye makeup was pretty, though. Let's go on to our last queen, Miss Mikey. Me and I thought this was cute. I mean, it's not giving Runway on Drag Race. This is like a dancing costume for a dancing challenge. She does look gorgeous. She looks beautiful. But this is not a Runway on Drag Race. This is a dancing. This is a dancing costume.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I would say there was a moment in Untucked that really sent me when she was like. Said something about somebody's wig, and I was like. She was like, if Darlene wins in this wig, I'm throwing away my wigs. I'm like, girl, you literally have a point in time.

[Monet X Change]

Literally.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't want to hear you talk about nobody's wig. You literally pulled that out of a bag and brushed it. You might have flat ironed it. You might have flat ironed it, maybe. Don't act like you got on the world's biggest wig, mama. Yeah, and y' all know I like Milky Meeks. Don't act like you got on a Trixie Mattel Lady Bunny wig, baby. You're wearing a ponytail on top of your real hair. Calm down.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, I agree. This was. This is a dancing costume. It's not a Runway for Drag race. So I thought this was fine.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She does look really good, though. She does look really good.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Let's go into the judging, so. Oh, Also, Mikey goes 20 yards. Girl, don't talk about 20. I'm covering the stage in 20 yards of fabric. That's how.

[Monet X Change]

That was not 20 yards.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

She said it was. Oh. Oh, shit. So it's between Lux's wig, Kandi's train, and then Mikey's fabric.

[Monet X Change]

Girl, everybody swears.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You're saying they're all lying ass hoes.

[Monet X Change]

Yes, Each and every one of them. The fact that Kandi has not just not even in her free time, pretended to have a train. The fact that Candy is still selling us this fantasy of this damn train.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Should we do a mini doc on this? Finding the. Because at some point. What's his name? The guy who did it? Who did the. Who did all the.

[Monet X Change]

Tanner. Abel.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No, he did Bicala. No, B. Kala. B. Kala. Gotta have your picture somewhere, right,

[Monet X Change]

y'?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

All?

[Monet X Change]

Bob is in his documentary era. We were talking about something, and Bob wants to do a documentary about everything. You are out of control. I'd be like, yeah, girl, my Uber Eats dryer driver didn't come. I'm like, should we do a documentary about it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's gonna be called. It's gonna be called, is the Train Still Running? But no, I think she looks good also. Even if it was 20 yards, girl, this is. Whatever you have on your body is not enough to say you're covering. Don't say covering this day. That's why I know it's very pedantic of me when a girl says, every inch of this is covered in rhinestones. Don't say that. Don't say completely encrusted. If it's not. You can say, I'm wearing a lot of rhinestones. Don't say completely encrusted if it's not completely encrusted. Because we've seen things on that Runway that are completely encrusted, and we're smart enough to know the fucking difference.

[Monet X Change]

The way Bobby. Picking and choosing.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

When words matter, they always matter.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, Bob. Okay. I'm not gonna get into it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, don't get into it because you have no legs to stand on

[Monet X Change]

the movie the Roseburn. If I had, you know what do you know who had a terrain that covered the whole Runway? Jacob, can you pull up Lady Gaga adding the Mayhem Ball? The train. Now, that train covered the whole paparazzi. Yes. That covered the stage. That's probably 20 yards.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That was way more than 20 yards one day that. That thing had to be. I mean, if I had to guess just from. No, not 100.

[Monet X Change]

100 yard is a football field. It wasn't a football field.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It was probably at least 60 to 80 yards, if not more. Had to be. Had to be.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. I was fierce.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Someone said, Alexis, Michelle almost. Hillary, Michelle says, Alexis, Michelle almost went blind stalking that outfit. I forgot she said that. Let's go to the judging. The judging here. Can you.

[Monet X Change]

Kenya.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Kenya has a very emotional moment with RuPaul. And Maru does a thing where she repeats, it's from Good Will Hunting.

[Monet X Change]

Never seen it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You say something really poignant, and you keep repeating it, and the more you say it over and over again. It's really simple, but it's really poignant. And the more you say it, the more it breaks down the person you're talking to.

[Monet X Change]

What are you saying?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Have you seen Good Will Hunting?

[Monet X Change]

No.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. You break down. So she keeps going to Kenya, please. She goes, you are enough. No. You have everything you need. You have everything you need. You have everything you need. And then, of course, Kenya breaks down and talks about the little child inside. You know, someone said three times. The third one is slower. You have everything you need. You have everything you need. You have everything you need. There it is. Works every time. Oh, it was. You have what it takes. That's what it is. You have what it takes. That's what it was. You have everything it takes. That's what it was. But this is a really cute moment that she had.

[Monet X Change]

I have everything in tank. I have it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

This is a really cute moment with RuPaul. What did you think of this moment? I mean, it was charming. It was emotional.

[Monet X Change]

It is very cute. It is charming. I think it's so far I'm so removed from Drag Race, I forget. I really forget Bobby's more than me because I've done it three times now. But you forget how emotional you get on that show because you are dissecting your art, dissecting your challenge. The judges are letting you have it, and someone like Kenny's not doing as good as she thought she would. So it is very disarming, and it is very cathartic. I think Drag Race is a very cathartic experience

[Bob the Drag Queen]

for the most part. People got actually pretty decent critiques. Minus Kenya Pleaser and Juicy Love, Dion, Darlene ends up winning the challenge.

[Monet X Change]

Wait, we missed the Runway. Nini, Coco. We just Talked about Nini Coco. Where was Nini Coco's look?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Nini Coco? I. Okay, can. I know I'm pedantic, but she said this is monochromatic. And the back of it has these little, like, white or pink piping in it. I'm like, it's not. Yeah. There's a moment on the back that's not black, and I'm like, it's not on lock around it, Bob.

[Monet X Change]

That's monochromatic. Girl, please.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's not monochromatic.

[Monet X Change]

Anyway, I thought this was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Getting monochromatic means something.

[Monet X Change]

I thought this was one of my favorite looks for this week. I love the stone skirt.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Cray dawn just said Kenya definitely didn't have everything she needed. She had to make three runaways the night before

[Monet X Change]

Kray. Dawn is reading this entire episode. I thought this was a really dope concept, too, about spreading the ashes and blowing back in her face. I thought this was really good. Nini Coco never disappoints on the Runway. This was even having these on ostrich. What are these? Are these maribou not marble? What kind of feather is that? Do you know?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Sure. I'm not sure. Yeah. I love the big chiffon or paper or confetti ashes that she was throwing. I do think the urn should have been black. That's beside the point.

[Monet X Change]

But I think it would have lost

[Bob the Drag Queen]

it a little bit maybe, but could have been rhinestone. Who knows? I think that this is really, to quote you, everything.

[Monet X Change]

Everything. Doesn't need stones to quote you.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Not everything. Not everything. I think this looks really good. I think she's really. She had a really good idea, and she executed it really, really well. And I love that she was throwing those ashes into the. Into the fan. It was really cool.

[Monet X Change]

See, I think she. It should have been glitter. Not. Not. Not paper.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know. I think that this is better because it's so big. It makes more sense.

[Monet X Change]

No, but I'm kidding. Glitter would have been an awful idea. It would have gone in her eyes all over the stage. That was. Been throwing glitter would have been an awful idea.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I don't you be saying crazy stuff. I don't even be knowing when you be playing. You're. You're. You're. You're weird, bro. You're a strange one. So. So Darlene wins the challenge. I would have given it to Jane or Mikey.

[Monet X Change]

Personally, I cannot believe Darlene won this challenge. That shit is crazy. And I'm still. I will not forget these visuals of her doing that thing. And, Bob, do you See, the. The cutaways, people are like, That's crazy. The cutaways were. Were pissing me off, girl.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Maybe had to be there. You know what pissed me off was when to cut to. I believe. I believe it was Jane and she was like, this is genius. We can't just drop the G bomb.

[Monet X Change]

Like,

[Bob the Drag Queen]

you will work for the rest of your life life doing that act, girl.

[Monet X Change]

Java, you pissing me off again. When RuPaul said that, I was like, that was crazy. I'm sorry. No, that was crazy.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So who would you give it to?

[Monet X Change]

I would have given this to Jane.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Don't.

[Monet X Change]

I think Jane. Don't. I like Mickey Meeks. I like Meeke. Jesus Christ. You know what? Sith Episode one, you have me saying Mickey Meeks. I liked Shout out to Meek.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Shout out to Mickey Meeks, by the way. Shout out to Mickey Meeks.

[Monet X Change]

I like Mikey Meeks a lot, but to me, I don't know. I did like Jane's jokes more. The black Playguan fucking sent me. Guzzling. Fucking sent me. I did like Jane's material a little

[Bob the Drag Queen]

more than kid cum. Guzzling is great. I do think the one greatest joke of the night was still Mikey's joke about trade wars. When her Trix find out she's the top, that's the single greatest joke of the night. But I think overall, Jane's package was much greater.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And I liked her look more too.

[Monet X Change]

I did too. I did too.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So Discord is officially the only girl in the competition without a win. Kenya and Juicy are in the bottom. They lip sync to a. An ama. My God, what a gift to lip sync to Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bunny Tyler. What a fucking gift.

[Monet X Change]

Bitch. I was jealous. I was like, oh, my God. Total Eclipse is an amazing lip sync song to have on Drag Race. I was jealous that they got to do that. I'm not even kidding.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Like, you get to lip sync to an actual, like, dragon. This is like when Chi Chi and Thorgy got to lip sync to. Yeah, what a gift. Cause you know, some girls had to lip sync to songs from guests they have never heard of and songs they never heard of either. And you got to lip sync to Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler. My God, Kenya Pleaser does not know all the words.

[Monet X Change]

She knows 90% of them, though.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's not enough. But if the other girl knows a hundred, now what? You're cooked. I will also say there was a moment where I felt like she was like, copying La Mama, copying Juicy, when Juicy acted like the Wind caught her and she was going back, and then next thing you know, she's doing the same thing eight counts behind. I was like, I don't know. I didn't like that.

[Monet X Change]

And also, I just.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, she's also singing. Someone said she ate those background vocals, though. She was singing the. She was singing the background vocals.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. And I just think that Juicy just performed the song better. I loved a lot of Juicy's choices, and she just. She gave me more of the. More of the song.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

And Juicy showed that she does not have to do spins and dips and kicks and splits and backflips to win a lip sync. She can do it off of raw emotion.

[Monet X Change]

I mean, to be fair, it was against Kenya Pleaser, though. Like, naked Mama. Mama.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

That's crazy. He sent home one of the best lip singers of the season. Who? No. Shade. Me a star.

[Monet X Change]

Kenya sent home me a star.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Pretty sure.

[Monet X Change]

No. Bobby keep on saying that, and every time we say no, that's not who it was.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. Ke, please get insane on me a star.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, you know. Oh, that was. That was Juicy before.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay, so. So you're wrong. Thank you. All right, moving on. Juicy wins. I agree with this. Win easily. And we have six queens left. Monet X Change. Who is going to be winning RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18?

[Monet X Change]

I'm looking at these girls again. Hold on one second.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I'm ready to go ahead and announce my winner.

[Monet X Change]

We. You've said it literally 18 times already. What do you mean? You could be ready to announce.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What if someone's just.

[Monet X Change]

What.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What if someone's just tuning in? What if they skip to the end of the video and they didn't say that part?

[Monet X Change]

I think the top two are Mikey Meeks and Jane don't. And I think that Jane don't is going to be our winner of season 18.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I think Mikey Meeks is going to win RuPaul's Drag Race season 18, and I think she deserves it.

[Monet X Change]

I like Mikey a lot. I will be very happy if Mikey wins. I. I'll be either if. I'll be happy if I. If either Jane don't or Mikey Meeks win. I think they've both done a stellar job this season, and they will both deserve of it.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Who's gonna be getting Discord?

[Monet X Change]

Discord is going home. Discord is going home faster than she could, I don't know, walk across the stage. Discord is going home.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Actually think Darlene's going home next?

[Monet X Change]

I don't think so.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I didn't watch what the next. I normally watch what the next week's challenge is, so I don't.

[Monet X Change]

What is it?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Chat. Let us know. I normally. I normally watch. It's a makeover. Makeover.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah, right. It's makeover.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Ooh, it's a wrap on Darlene.

[Monet X Change]

No, girl. It's a no, darling. Are you kidding me? No. It's going to be Discord.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Oh, it's going to be Juicy.

[Monet X Change]

Oh yeah, Juicy. All right. She can't. Oh, no. But these days the girls bring in costumes, girl, so it doesn't even matter.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah, but I don't think Juicy has the skills to put someone else in dress. Okay, it could be Juicy. It could be Juicy. At some point. Juicy was one of the girls. Like, if I have to lip sync against everyone to get to the finale, no shade. Do you really think you're gonna lip sync against everyone and then win the finale? It might happen in a world where it might happen, but Jesus Christ. The question is, who's the bottom two? And can Juicy beat that other person in lip sync? Cause if it's Juicy versus Discord, it's Discord. What's the song? Is the song gonna be, you know, Evanescence wake me up inside and Discord's still going home?

[Monet X Change]

I don't know.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Don't count Discord out. Don't count Discord out.

[Monet X Change]

I won't count this court out, but I will count that court out.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We're gonna hop over to the Patreon to talk about Untucked and this week's drama. There's a lot to talk about.

[Monet X Change]

Uh huh. Including about your friends.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

You all there. Monster Energy. Everybody knows White Monster Zero Ultra. That's the og it kicked off this whole Zero sugar energy drink thing. But Ultra is a whole lineup now. You've got Strawberry Dreams, Blue Hawaiian Sunrise and Vice Guava.

[Monet X Change]

And they all bring the Monster Energy punch.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

So if you've been living in the

[Monet X Change]
