Speaker 3: Hello, how are you guys?

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Good?

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 4: Good?

8
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: You're not feeling dead inside, are you?

9
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 4: What's going on there?

10
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 3: Well, you know what's crazy is that the actual title

11
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 3: was basically a diagnosis from my doctor.

12
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 4: So I just.

13
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: Worked out well for a show title and I've been

14
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 3: running with it since. If you've seen me anytime before,

15
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: you can tell that I've been dead on the outside

16
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: for a few years. So now I'm just matching the interior.

17
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 4: So what about the show? Can you tell us a

18
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 4: bit more? Banker?

19
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Well, it's just basically what I'm experiencing

20
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: now as an elderly drag queen, how I view the

21
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 3: world and as you know, as an American, we are

22
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: not short on any topics if you know what currently

23
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 3: is going on in the world. And you guys are

24
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: catching me at the end. So this is me wrapping

25
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: up the tour. It's my final twelve dates here in

26
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: Australia and New Zealand, which is surreal because I've started

27
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: the tour last February, and uh, it's just been surreal.

28
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: So when I wrap it up, it'll be one hundred

29
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: and twenty seven shows globally, which is why are Yeah,

30
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: it is a lot.

31
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: It is a lot.

32
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: Now you just touched on, you know, things happening in

33
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: the US. There is a bit happening. Of course we're

34
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: all familiar. But I mean, does it sort of the

35
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: good thing about Donald Trump being president? Does it guarantee

36
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: a little bit of content for every.

37
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: Show without a doubt, not to mention it gives clowns

38
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: like me a better opportunity to work more. You know,

39
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: if people have faith in that clown, they have faith

40
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: in this clown. So I do look forward to it.

41
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 5: It's a content face, I would please. When you want

42
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 5: to go out and have a good time and have

43
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 5: a laugh, who makes you laugh, Oh.

44
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: Well, usually a mirror. But I don't believe venture out

45
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: that often.

46
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 5: You know.

47
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: I have a group of friends of mine because it's

48
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: this crazy thing is that when you spend your life

49
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: on the road traveling, everybody always says, well, where do

50
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: you want to go next? Where do you want to vacation?

51
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: Do you want to hang out with friends? And I go.

52
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: I think it's a great time to let everyone know

53
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: I hate people. You know, for me to have a

54
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: good time is to be home alone and to sit

55
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: back and go what a lovely run that was. I

56
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 3: often said that I was a lot like the late

57
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 3: Queen of England. I like to vacation at my house

58
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: and hide from everyone.

59
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Is it I think it was?

60
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: Rachel Rudner said in the movie Pater's Friends with what

61
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: she hates about being in the public eyes, the public,

62
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: the public thing.

63
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: I completely agree. I completely agree. There's a time and

64
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: there's a time and place for it. You know, you

65
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: know you have to do it to do it. But

66
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: I do like my quiet time. Not because I'm a

67
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: private person. Its seems I have many voices in my head,

68
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: so clinically I like to be home alone.

69
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: You've already got enough going on.

70
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: Look it is it's your You've been to Australia a

71
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: few times now, so you must suck a sabeese.

72
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: Oh I'm not mad at you. I always say it.

73
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: Just tell everyone. I tell everyone that the Australian and

74
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: the UK audiences are my ideal group of people because

75
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: you have a rotted sense of humor, and you're very

76
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: welcoming to me. So just when I think that I'm

77
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: really bad and you guys laugh at it, I go,

78
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: you're worst because you paid for the ticket that I appreciate.

79
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty well was you want people playing for tickets?

80
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Now?

81
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 4: You bey to Australia, to Australia a few times now.

82
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 5: And the things that you love doing whilst you're here,

83
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 5: apart from you know, just recovering between gigs.

84
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the best part about actually being here

85
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: is the fact that no one ever mistakes me for

86
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: Courtney act because I'm not pretty, so I'm not true.

87
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: I notice that I try to give the people a

88
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: good time and I love it. And the worst part

89
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: is I'm actually missing Courtney by a week, so it's

90
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: so unfortunately we haven't caught up in a while. But

91
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: I tell her all the time when I'm here, I'm

92
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: holding down the fort until she gets back.

93
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: But I mean, Courtney is that's not fair to hold

94
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: us all up to Courtney because she she is proper,

95
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: pretty proper handsome when you know the other, whatever's going

96
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: on on that day, she looks good.

97
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: Which is why I don't feel bad about beating her

98
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: on drag Race. You know, let someone ugly like me

99
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: have a chance. She's winning it life.

100
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned drag Race.

101
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: You won season six of drag Race in twenty fourteen.

102
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: Can you remember where you were when you got the

103
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: call from whoever it was that made the call to

104
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: you to say you were going on the show.

105
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I remember vividly. I was in a

106
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: meeting with a bar, a bar that I was working

107
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: at for quite some time. We had a staff meeting

108
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 3: to discuss what was wrong with the show and how

109
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: the show wasn't selling, and my prepaid phone rang, and

110
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 3: then I had to exit the meeting and they said,

111
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: you're going to be on drag Race. I went back

112
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: to the meeting and said, figure out yourself. I'm out.

113
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: That was that?

114
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: Say?

115
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: I love that?

116
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: That is hilarious. The rest of history, I was.

117
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 1: Going to say, the rest is history?

118
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 5: Speaking of said history, Bianka, what's it like that first

119
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 5: moment meeting group, Paul? Is it just another day or

120
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 5: is it like holding my breath just quietly here?

121
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: Well, I have to break it down to you. You're

122
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: going to be sadly disappointed to find out that she's

123
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 3: not a real person. She's a hologram. Very good, she's

124
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: a bause, she's just this this, this glorified thing that's

125
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: in front of you. No, it's it is kind of surreal.

126
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: I think it was the first time that I realized,

127
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm inside the television. You know, it

128
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: is being in the same room, being in the same room.

129
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 3: And how tall she is? Extremely tall?

130
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean we have.

131
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: A bit of a connection with RuPaul here in Perth

132
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: in Wa. So you know, if people keep their eyes peeled,

133
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: you never know when you might say that very tall.

134
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: Now we will mess them.

135
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,400
