| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of Iway with Jermina Jamil. I hope you're well. |
| 0:04.6 | And if you aren't well, you're about to be fucking well because I've got a great guest |
| 0:09.2 | on today's podcast. If you are a fan of RuPaul's Drag Race, then you are in for a mother fucking |
| 0:16.0 | treat because today's guest is Bob the Drag Queen, a winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, as well |
| 0:24.2 | as just one of the funniest, misinspiring, interesting and charismatic people on the whole |
| 0:28.2 | of the internet, maybe in the whole of the world. I was able to discuss so many different |
| 0:34.5 | things with Bob. We discussed his unique childhood where his mother owned a drag bar and would |
| 0:39.2 | take him there and get him to work there when she couldn't find a babysitter. We had an |
| 0:44.1 | in-depth discussion about his experience in a polyamorous relationship, in such an unstigmatized, |
| 0:50.3 | open, informative, loving way. We discussed his activism in the black trans community |
| 0:55.4 | and how we can be better allies. And unexpectedly, we spent far too long discussing my hair. |

| 1:20.0 | what you think at the end of this episode. You can DM me about it, but it was so funny |
| 1:24.7 | and I didn't think it was going to come up. And I really enjoyed the interaction. And |
| 1:30.4 | I think you will do so stupid. But I love Bob. Bob is fucking great. Bob is so smart. |
| 1:37.8 | We should all be more like Bob. Enjoy this episode. I can't wait to hear what you have |
| 1:43.4 | to say. This is Bob the Draquine. Bloody hell, I've peaked. I've peaked everyone. I've |
| 2:07.4 | only gotten Bob the Draquine on my podcast. Hello, Bob. How are you? I'm great. How are |
| 2:14.1 | you today? I'm good. I'm such a big fan of yours. I can't believe you're here. Well, |
| 2:19.5 | say I'm a really big fan of yours. You know, I'm quite familiar with a lot of your work |
