Speaker 1: Is It Just Me?
Speaker 2: Podcast by a couple of mitches.
Speaker 3: Don't suck it up? Hello everybody, Welcome to the last
Speaker 3: and final Drag Race Debrief, First Repulse Drag Race Down
Speaker 3: Under Season two.
Speaker 4: Hello Mitchell, I can't believe that it's the last one
Speaker 4: that Bloody flew by, didn't it?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 3: Were you happy with the finale? Were you happy with
Speaker 3: the end result? I am yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the last episode was very wholesome.
Speaker 4: There was no drama, and there were all these cute
Speaker 4: little moments we got to see of just the three
Speaker 4: final lets just hanging backstage in the in the work room,
Speaker 4: just chatting, and some of that unscripted stuff we got
Speaker 4: out of them.
Speaker 1: With just gold. So yeah, it was it was a
Speaker 1: good episode. I liked it.
Speaker 3: The finales can be boring at times because they always
Speaker 3: do a song and they don't have any drama, all
Speaker 3: the good drama Queens of the Left, so it's like
Speaker 3: we're all best friends, we're all we all of each other,
Speaker 3: we've all got them this far. But this one was
Speaker 3: actually very entertaining, and we have our crowned queen. We
Speaker 3: have a winner, Spanky Jackson.
Speaker 4: You know how I measure whether it's a good episode
Speaker 4: or not. Yeah, whether I'm going, oh my god, when
Speaker 4: is this over? It's going so long? Or if I
Speaker 4: do what I did for this finale, which was oh
Speaker 4: my god, it's finished already.
Speaker 1: That was quick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I with you. If I get distracted on my
Speaker 3: phone and then like a lose track of time, I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh shit, isn't that bad? Is it that bad? And
Speaker 3: that didn't happen. It didn't happen for a couple of
Speaker 3: the Drag Race down Under episodes. Yeah, been really really good.
Speaker 3: But yeah, we have our crowned Queen Spanky and of
Speaker 3: course the runners up, Queen Kong and Hannah Conda. So
Speaker 3: Queen Kong, I don't know if she's taking the loss. Yeah.
Speaker 4: We wanted to do two separate interviews, one with the
Speaker 4: two runners up and then one with the winner. Of course,
Speaker 4: thank you Jackson. Queen Cong couldn't make it today, but
Speaker 4: we've got Hannah. That's the good news.
Speaker 1: She's a hoot. So we might kick off with Hannah,
Speaker 1: shall we.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go Spanky Jackson, the winner coming up. But
Speaker 3: right now, here's Hannah Conder. All right, let's get her
Speaker 3: on one of our phase and from the start, Mitch.
Speaker 3: We said this from the very first episode of Drag
Speaker 3: Race Debrief, and even on the main show. Hannah Conda
Speaker 3: was our win up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we put our footy tips in the very first
Speaker 4: episode of Drag Race Debrief, and partially out of loyalty,
Speaker 4: but also out of her pure talent.
Speaker 1: I was like, it's got to be Hannah. It's gotta
Speaker 1: be bloody Hannah, and real close.
Speaker 3: She came so close, Hannahconda joins us. Now, Hanno, Hannah,
Speaker 3: Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Hi, babes, how's it going?
Speaker 4: Oh, more importantly, how are you going? I bet it
Speaker 4: was a bloody big weekend for you.
Speaker 2: Oh that's an understatement, to be fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured this much.
Speaker 2: I got a little bit wild.
Speaker 1: Oh good girl, I reckon.
Speaker 4: It's so fun that they make you film like the
Speaker 4: multiple endings where you each get a turn pretending you've won,
Speaker 4: and then you don't even know which one they're going
Speaker 4: to use. So like, what was your reaction when you
Speaker 4: filmed your fake ending?
Speaker 5: Oh? I put on the waterworks, sobbing and going, oh
Speaker 5: my god, you really like to be fair. I can't
Speaker 5: think that it would have been nice to watch over again.
Speaker 5: But I tell you though, our reaction to Spanky winning
Speaker 5: was pretty good.
Speaker 2: That was the third time we did it, Yeah, last one.
Speaker 4: I got the sense when I was watching the actual
Speaker 4: ending that they ran with Spanky winning. I got the
Speaker 4: sense that she might have thought to herself, Oh, they're
Speaker 4: not going to run this version, because I was like,
Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like she's that excited. But now that
Speaker 4: I know that it was the third Bloody Takes, it'd
Speaker 4: probably worn off.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like you had to sit through myself and
Speaker 5: Queen doing it. I had to go first because they
Speaker 5: did it in order. Yeah, because I went first, I
Speaker 5: didn't realize I had to have like a speech.
Speaker 2: Oh other like ooops, whoops?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, do you remember what your speech was?
Speaker 5: It was something about like snake by name, tender by nature,
Speaker 5: and hopefully at the end of this show, I'm your
Speaker 5: favorite flavor.
Speaker 2: Let's spread the glitter and party.
Speaker 1: Oh that's gorgeous.
Speaker 2: I don't like that.
Speaker 3: That's nice. I liked your lyrics too in the Challenge Channel.
Speaker 3: I thought your lyrics were sensational. Did you like, do
Speaker 3: you pre write them, think about what you want to
Speaker 3: write before you come on the show, or was that
Speaker 3: really all written in the workroom.
Speaker 2: So I did write the lyrics for who is She
Speaker 2: in the Workroom?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Really, that's so much pressure match, I couldn't write a song.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: How much time did you actually have to do that?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: You get like a few hours.
Speaker 5: You kind of know that there's going to be that anyway,
Speaker 5: so you kind of think about what general direction you
Speaker 5: want to go in.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good at rhyming, so that works in my mind.
Speaker 1: Easy.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I feel like we don't realize how long filming this
Speaker 4: shit actually takes. And I remember in one of the
Speaker 4: early episodes, like a few weeks ago, you were sort
Speaker 4: of the first to.
Speaker 1: Admit how burnt out you were feeling.
Speaker 4: Like, talk to me about what a day looks like,
Speaker 4: how much work is there?
Speaker 1: How many hours? How much sleep do you actually get?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: So you start every day about seven o'clock in the
Speaker 5: morning and you go in and that's where you film
Speaker 5: your like confessionals.
Speaker 4: And is that commentating on everything that happened the day before? Yes, gotcha?
Speaker 5: Okay, so everything's fresh in your mind and then you'll
Speaker 5: go in, depending on what day it is, if it's
Speaker 5: like a new challenge day or you're completing like a
Speaker 5: challenge and a runway. Oh yeah, you go into the
Speaker 5: work room and either real will come in or you
Speaker 5: just continue on the work and then I think the
Speaker 5: longest day would be a runway day because you're get
Speaker 5: already really early and then like the runway takes like well,
Speaker 5: i'd say like three or four hours, especially in the
Speaker 5: early parts to get filmed.
Speaker 1: And so how late do you knock off?
Speaker 5: Oh well, it depends on what we're doing. I remember
Speaker 5: the first day when we did the construction challenge. Well,
Speaker 5: I don't think we left there until well after like
Speaker 5: working hours.
Speaker 1: And he's Rue there as well, so it's more than
Speaker 1: a nine to five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Rue stays the whole time.
Speaker 2: They just packed down her green screen and then she's done.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, she's on LA time, so it's early for her,
Speaker 3: early in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I remember when we had Reis Nicholson on the podcast.
Speaker 4: He was explaining to us how their commentary works during
Speaker 4: the runways. They get you to do two walks, one
Speaker 4: to music and one without music, so they can just
Speaker 4: come up with their smart ass comments. Is that distracting
Speaker 4: when you just hear them talking and there's no music.
Speaker 4: I would just be laughing at what they're saying, Well,
Speaker 4: yeah you.
Speaker 5: Do, and like it's so weird because all you can
Speaker 5: hear is like, yeah, little as you're like clopping down
Speaker 5: the fucking runway looking like a like a because you
Speaker 5: want to get the music to get you into it.
Speaker 5: And Michelle got me in the first week because she's like, oh,
Speaker 5: it's Kate Moss and I don't know why. I just
Speaker 5: found that hysterical tackling myself and They're like focus on
Speaker 5: the runway and I'm like.
Speaker 3: Oh, sorry, that would be very distracting. And how does
Speaker 3: it feel, obviously to get so close and I don't
Speaker 3: want to go how does it feeling out so close
Speaker 3: and not win? But I truly saw you as a
Speaker 3: front run of the whole season, And how does it
Speaker 3: feel to do so well in the competition and then
Speaker 3: come out and go, oh, I think I can win
Speaker 3: this or I think I'm close. But then see public
Speaker 3: reaction and then watch the edit and did your opinion
Speaker 3: on how you did change after seeing the show?
Speaker 5: Ish, Yeah, I'm very proud of what I did at
Speaker 5: the show, and I'm very proud of how I sort
Speaker 5: of came across.
Speaker 2: In this show.
Speaker 5: I think the one thing that I wished I got
Speaker 5: to see more of for me and my edit was
Speaker 5: more of my my quirky, fun personality that I think is.
Speaker 2: The dominant feature of me.
Speaker 5: I just felt like a bit of a robot and wins,
Speaker 5: especially on the runways when like they give a critique,
Speaker 5: I looked like a bloody blowfish, just go yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, and you were you biting back? Were you throwing
Speaker 3: quips back that we didn't see?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were like gas bag and we were chatting
Speaker 5: back and forth, but you wouldn't have known it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like we did get to see plenty
Speaker 4: of your funny personality. Though. I loved that there were
Speaker 4: just these little extremely Australian moments, like you say things
Speaker 4: like come on, slaps and I'm just like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: I'm so glad that she's the Ossie in the top three.
Speaker 4: It was just beautiful. I feel like you would have
Speaker 4: had international view. It's been like what did she say?
Speaker 4: Because the accents so thick.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think it's actually the perfect sent that takes over.
Speaker 3: Who were your backups for Snatch Game? Who were I
Speaker 3: know you've mentioned a couple because you did Liza, and
Speaker 3: you did Aliza so well? But who else did you
Speaker 3: have backed up?
Speaker 5: I had Drew Barrymore with me, and I'm thanks fool
Speaker 5: that I never did that.
Speaker 3: Can you do it?
Speaker 7: Drew?
Speaker 3: Give us some Drew, Give us some Drew.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so good.
Speaker 5: Rw, I'm just a she give mama.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, look at the rain beautiful.
Speaker 4: Yes, I wish people could see like the shape of
Speaker 4: the mouth that really makes it all of the mouth.
Speaker 3: We gutted that you didn't win because you got so
Speaker 3: much out of it. Was it really like a were
Speaker 3: you crushed or were you like? No, I'm going to
Speaker 3: take the positive out of this. And and well doneder spanking.
Speaker 3: She's a sister, she's a queen. Where was your head
Speaker 3: out on the day, on the revealed day?
Speaker 5: If I'm going to be completely one hundred and fift
Speaker 5: percent honest, I'm thrilled that I didn't win.
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because like I feel that I like being the
Speaker 5: robbed queen Ya true?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you've seen how many Australian Idol runners
Speaker 4: up have actually been more six that's for them. The
Speaker 4: winner is you're like the just mailboy you know in Russiana.
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually, the Shadow Knoll.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did like that.
Speaker 4: They didn't actually place a second and third, so you
Speaker 4: and Queen Kong were technically equal, but Queen Kong didn't
Speaker 4: rock up today.
Speaker 1: So you're fucking second in my book, you're.
Speaker 3: Second in our books. Yeah, we fucking first, to be honest.
Speaker 3: Well that's be real. So so what's next for you?
Speaker 3: Because people can see you live obviously in Sydney because
Speaker 3: you're a Sydney Queen.
Speaker 1: Are you coming back to trivia? Oh?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, look not at the moment. She's a
Speaker 5: busy girl and she's traveling around. So we're going on
Speaker 5: our big tour, yes, with the casts.
Speaker 2: So that's going to be taking out a couple of months.
Speaker 5: And then when we get back, Queen myself and Spanky
Speaker 5: we're going to stay together and do some bad stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh that'd be well, that's what I was going to ask,
Speaker 3: because they are the queens often go on tours, right,
Speaker 3: but then the queens that don't win hashtag rob Queens.
Speaker 3: I Hanaconda back for Queens versus the World or Australia
Speaker 3: versu the World or UK versus the World, you know,
Speaker 3: all Stars International? Would you do it? Have you been asked,
Speaker 3: we need to know.
Speaker 2: I haven't been asked, but definitely would do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it would be amazing.
Speaker 5: And I think like people getting to know me as well,
Speaker 5: and like, you know, also having that conversation with Queen
Speaker 5: in episode three, which is really really important for me
Speaker 5: to do, I think, yeah, and rightly so, you know,
Speaker 5: some people may not enjoy me or like me, and
Speaker 5: I think it gave them a chance to see more
Speaker 5: than what the Internet says about me and see me
Speaker 5: as a human being and what I can do and
Speaker 5: and you know, and the work that I'm doing as well.
Speaker 5: So I think now that I've kind of showcased that
Speaker 5: and can have people on the journey with me going
Speaker 5: back in hopefully you know, I can show them even more.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'd also love to see you with lip fillers, because
Speaker 3: when the Queens come back, they get lip fillers, and
Speaker 3: you've clearly all natural now, so to see you with
Speaker 3: lip it'd be so nice, Hannah, it'd be beautiful to see.
Speaker 5: Oh, you know, I think that's something I've been really
Speaker 5: thinking about, Yeah, tweying with the idea.
Speaker 4: You know, one thing I really loved in that final
Speaker 4: episode with that letter you got from your partner Jack
Speaker 4: and how you were.
Speaker 1: Just missing each other so much. It was very gushy.
Speaker 4: What was that first reunion like once you were done
Speaker 4: and dusted with the show.
Speaker 5: Well, we had sex. No, I was too freaking tired.
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm moaning your ears. Do it yourself, babe.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, No, he was.
Speaker 5: He's just a sweetheart. He's a trooper. He held down
Speaker 5: the fort. The house was clean, and he cooked me dinner.
Speaker 5: And I'm really really happy, so sick as it sounds,
Speaker 5: he's my best friend.
Speaker 2: I couldn't deal without him. And yeah, I'm just very lucky.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god, that is cute. I'm gonna make
Speaker 3: me cry.
Speaker 7: You're the real winner.
Speaker 3: You've got your boyfriend. Well, you don't need a crown. Well, listen,
Speaker 3: I feel it was an absolute pleasure to watch you.
Speaker 3: You are so good. Wait, Mitch, you gotta ask Hannah
Speaker 3: our question we ask every guest.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to say, don't wrap this shit up
Speaker 4: too soon. That's a bit premature, Dalla. We like to
Speaker 4: ask every guest we have on the show the same question.
Speaker 4: We get them to contribute to our list of things
Speaker 4: better than drugs and dick Yes and the reason that
Speaker 4: that list exists is just to remind any young listeners
Speaker 4: that we have that, hey, there's more to life than partying,
Speaker 4: and boys don't get obsessed.
Speaker 1: There's little things in life you can appreciate.
Speaker 4: So Foe for the example, she gave her something better
Speaker 4: than drugs and dick is a twelve dollar k Mart
Speaker 4: sushi maker, Aubrey said, freshly cut toenails. Yuri Guy said
Speaker 4: a hangover day in bed. Mini Cooper said her, Hey,
Speaker 4: you account watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Speaker 3: So she didn't say she yelled it. She was very
Speaker 3: yelly that episode. She was like, I have now.
Speaker 2: It's your delivery.
Speaker 3: Sorry, it's all on the delivery, but it's very hot,
Speaker 3: very hot. Many what do you want to add to
Speaker 3: the list things better than drugs and dick?
Speaker 5: There is so many one things better than drug syndic
Speaker 5: But the thing that I you.
Speaker 2: Know what I'm going to.
Speaker 5: Say, the Wizard of Oz Oh, and preferably if you
Speaker 5: get yourself a DVD player and watch it on DVD
Speaker 5: because you can get all the bonus features and learn
Speaker 5: about the Wizard of Oz because it's such a magical place.
Speaker 5: And I think that shaped me a lot because I
Speaker 5: like to escape into the fantasy realm.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: I always think when I step into Drag it's like
Speaker 5: coming out of the door into Oz and being overthing
Speaker 5: in color and fabulousness. Yeah, so it's my safe space.
Speaker 5: When I feel down, I go and watch the Wizard
Speaker 5: of Oz. So that's my my addition.
Speaker 3: At that list.
Speaker 1: Oh do you know what I noticed?
Speaker 4: So because a friend of mine put on Wizard of
Speaker 4: Oz recently and they had like a super HDTV and
Speaker 4: like when you watch it on high quality, I was like,
Speaker 4: fuck me, this set looks real cheap, doesn't it? Like
Speaker 4: you got to watch it on a small screen otherwise
Speaker 4: the magic is bloody ruined.
Speaker 5: Yeah, small screen DVD because there's actually quite There was
Speaker 5: so many things that happened on prisons, like like Judy Garland,
Speaker 5: she was like constantly on drugs up and down as
Speaker 5: the tin Man paint that they used on him initially
Speaker 5: like nearly killed him.
Speaker 1: Really, wasn't there.
Speaker 3: The rumor of someone hanging in the tree in the
Speaker 3: background in one of the shots.
Speaker 5: Yet one of the Munchkins, there was a whole that
Speaker 5: the Lion's fuit like apparently nearly killed the actor as well.
Speaker 3: Oh, my god, it's a horror horror film.
Speaker 5: Oh and the Wicked Witch when she comes down to
Speaker 5: the ground to get all the flames and stuff, she
Speaker 5: got like severely burnt.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. We're adding all this trauma to the
Speaker 1: list of things better than drugs.
Speaker 3: And prerogatives Tanna's choice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but look at something.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much for coming on.
Speaker 2: Oh you're welcome, Garlands. Love you can't wait to see.
Speaker 1: Suit love you.
Speaker 3: All right. It's been a long couple of weeks, but
Speaker 3: five long last. The winner of Drag Race down Under
Speaker 3: season two, the one and only Spanky Jackson. Hello, Spanks, Hello.
Speaker 7: Oh my god. Hi guys, excuse my voice.
Speaker 6: They sound like a horse at the moment, but it's
Speaker 6: better than being called a horse.
Speaker 7: But I call as well.
Speaker 4: I've had that same problem the last few weeks. Did
Speaker 4: you have a big weekend after celebrating the win.
Speaker 6: No, Like I've had a throat problem before I went
Speaker 6: on tour, like I was like on tour by myself
Speaker 6: and of course singing through it. And of course the
Speaker 6: doctor had said, look, if you push it too hard,
Speaker 6: you're going to end up with laryngitis. And I think
Speaker 6: that's where I'm at unfortunately, so.
Speaker 1: You're talking come back soon.
Speaker 4: Isn't it such unhelpful advice when they say just rest
Speaker 4: the voice, and it's like, you need the fucking voice.
Speaker 1: You can't just threaten it.
Speaker 6: It's not that easy, right, Oh, are we allowed to
Speaker 6: swear much?
Speaker 4: Be like?
Speaker 7: Oh good, thanks? Fuck? Because I was like, oh, not
Speaker 7: at all.
Speaker 4: I love the fact that everyone kept a scribe having
Speaker 4: you as like the rough queen as well, And did
Speaker 4: you hear the theory that that was like a tactic
Speaker 4: of yours going in in week one being a little
Speaker 4: bit rough with the outfit and then just surprising everyone
Speaker 4: and redeeming yourself.
Speaker 7: So like it wasn't a tactic at all.
Speaker 6: But I was very like honest with myself before I went,
Speaker 6: which is like I knew exactly what my critiques were
Speaker 6: going to be. You know, they wanted bigger here, they
Speaker 6: were gonna want stockings, they were.
Speaker 7: Gonna want hips, and I came prepared for that.
Speaker 6: But walking into that workroom, that's exactly why I chose
Speaker 6: the dress that I did, was because I wanted to
Speaker 6: give people exactly what they knew of Spanky. And the
Speaker 6: people that know me know that I wear no pants
Speaker 6: and my bum's hanging out, and I wanted to go
Speaker 6: and being the queen that I originally am. But this
Speaker 6: is a proc this and we're all there to learn
Speaker 6: and grow, and you know, that's how I looked at
Speaker 6: this experience. So I came prepared and when they asked
Speaker 6: for it, I gave it to them.
Speaker 1: I loved it.
Speaker 4: And because as someone like me who doesn't know anything
Speaker 4: about makeup, I don't know anything.
Speaker 1: I could never do drag. I'm so bad with that.
Speaker 1: I was looking at you, going, why does everyone keep
Speaker 1: calling her ruff?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 1: She looks bloody great to me?
Speaker 4: And there was some things so I don't want to
Speaker 4: like suck up your ass too much, but there was
Speaker 4: just something captivating about you. It didn't matter about the fashion,
Speaker 4: Like I was just drawn to you. You just like
Speaker 4: you had everyone by the balls every time you performed.
Speaker 3: Well that's why I Rue love Spanky so much. Right,
Speaker 3: Like Rue even said that he's like, I don't know
Speaker 3: what it is, but I'm addicted to this queen. And
Speaker 3: that's how the whole audience felt.
Speaker 6: Oh it's it's insane, Like I never expected to probably
Speaker 6: be in the final, like I thought for sure, like
Speaker 6: I had a lot of issues with outfits and getting
Speaker 6: things finished, and clearly they didn't get finished, and I
Speaker 6: like nearly pulled out. So really, like a week and
Speaker 6: a half before I was supposed to leave, I nearly
Speaker 6: pulled out because I was like, I just can't embarrassed
Speaker 6: myself like this.
Speaker 7: But I was like.
Speaker 6: This may never happen again for me, and I have
Speaker 6: to just go, and you know, balls to the wall.
Speaker 6: And I knew I had the talent. I knew I
Speaker 6: could ace the challenges. Okay, maybe not a sewing challenge,
Speaker 6: let's be fair. But it was so bad that it
Speaker 6: was good. But yeah, I mean, it's just been a dream. Really,
Speaker 6: it's been a dream.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would have been a shame if you pulled out.
Speaker 4: How did one even go about pulling out? Like, I
Speaker 4: have a feeling that even if you tried to pull out,
Speaker 4: they wouldn't let you. They'll be like, no, bitch, you're
Speaker 4: doing it.
Speaker 6: I'm sure it's not the first time you've pulled out, Mitchell.
Speaker 3: You've done your research, Spanky. It shows quite clearly. I
Speaker 3: know you, b Spanky. I want to know because you
Speaker 3: revealed in your JAFFA podcast chat. I mean, they're not
Speaker 3: even podcast chats anymore, the Jaffa chats that you haven't
Speaker 3: the midway through the episode that you're a childcare worker.
Speaker 3: Have any of the kids seen you ever in Drag?
Speaker 3: Have they seen the show? Do they know you're on it?
Speaker 6: I love that, So I tried to keep it very
Speaker 6: separate from the kids because I also don't feel like
Speaker 6: it's my place to to, you know, teach children about that.
Speaker 6: But I had already one house of drag and some
Speaker 6: of the kids had been given a magazine at school
Speaker 6: that I happened to be in the center, and they
Speaker 6: all came in and they were like, oh my god, Like,
Speaker 6: what the heck you look?
Speaker 3: Did you look like a hoe?
Speaker 6: I was just wearing like a sequin dress. But I've
Speaker 6: actually had lots of messages from the parents and from
Speaker 6: from some of the kids, and it's, yeah, it's overwhelming.
Speaker 6: It was one of the highlights of my life. And
Speaker 6: unfortunately I just finished up because my schedule they're just
Speaker 6: too crazy, and I it is one of the absolute
Speaker 6: highlights of my life was being able to be the
Speaker 6: surrogate fairy godmother and just bring joy and laughter and
Speaker 6: teach them to it's okay to you know, screw up
Speaker 6: and be you and live your dreams. And if you
Speaker 6: want to be a cat, be a cat. I don't care, like,
Speaker 6: just do it like And to be able to be
Speaker 6: living proof of everything that I spoke and for them
Speaker 6: to see me the love is just honestly so touching,
Speaker 6: and I'm so grateful for the time that I help
Speaker 6: with their kids and and the support of their pearents.
Speaker 4: I actually did kind of get the sense that you
Speaker 4: were a bit overwhelmed with like all the attention after
Speaker 4: having won.
Speaker 1: Is it a bit full on?
Speaker 4: Because I saw you saying, oh, I'm trying to get
Speaker 4: back to you with all the messages of it been
Speaker 4: a bit much.
Speaker 6: It's like, I think it's just part of my personality.
Speaker 6: It's like the messages and love and support and it's
Speaker 6: like people took the time to write me a message,
Speaker 6: you know, And I don't want to be a personal
Speaker 6: like I'm too famous now that I can't reply to you.
Speaker 6: I'm absolutely nobody. Like I'm nobody. I'm just the contestant
Speaker 6: in a show who happened to win a crown. And
Speaker 6: it's like, if people are going to take time out
Speaker 6: of the day to reply, you know, send me a
Speaker 6: message of support or love.
Speaker 7: It's like the least I can do is try and
Speaker 7: reply and just say thank you or you know, and.
Speaker 6: Reading the messages just makes me like I didn't expect
Speaker 6: to touch people the way that I have, And it
Speaker 6: was always part of my life that I was destined
Speaker 6: for something else, and I didn't know it was going
Speaker 6: to be this, But I really wanted to change the
Speaker 6: world in some small way by just being me and
Speaker 6: just being there.
Speaker 7: I've managed to do that.
Speaker 3: Spanky, what happened after the first episode? You were in
Speaker 3: the bottom essentially almost went home? Did that shake you
Speaker 3: because you went on to win the bloody thing? But
Speaker 3: watching it as a whole over eight weeks, you can
Speaker 3: see your trajectory, But being in it, I imagine that
Speaker 3: was different. Being in the bottom in episode one would
Speaker 3: have thrown you.
Speaker 7: I'd imagine it didn't throw me, It fuelled me.
Speaker 6: I knew that the throwing, or that challenge in particular,
Speaker 6: was definitely a weakness, but I knew that the rest
Speaker 6: were all strengths, So I didn't expect that to be
Speaker 6: the first challenge up either, So I thought I would
Speaker 6: have been able to show some of what I had,
Speaker 6: which would have helped me get through that challenge. And
Speaker 6: unfortunately it was first and it's the way it was.
Speaker 6: But I knew that I could nail the lip sync.
Speaker 6: I like, that's what I do. So it definitely I
Speaker 6: did think it was over, and I was like, oh
Speaker 6: my god, I'm going to be that girl who goes
Speaker 6: on first, which is a horrible position to go home.
Speaker 6: You don't get to show any of who you are
Speaker 6: what you can do. It's just based on you know,
Speaker 6: that's how the cards fall. And yeah, it was definitely
Speaker 6: an emotional day and I got very emotional about it,
Speaker 6: but I pushed on through, and I mean it would
Speaker 6: have been like recent for since hed a huge mistake
Speaker 6: because hello here I am.
Speaker 4: It's a good thing you didn't go home first, because
Speaker 4: everyone probably would have written you off, being like, oh,
Speaker 4: you can see her black panty too.
Speaker 1: That's why they sent Foe for her home.
Speaker 4: Large in part, but thank god you suck around because
Speaker 4: I feel like everyone fell in love with you could
Speaker 4: do with the unproblematic one. So I imagine that there's
Speaker 4: no point in asking if you were happy with your edit,
Speaker 4: because you know you're at it with sick. Everyone fell
Speaker 4: in love with you do you Reckon? There were anyone
Speaker 4: that was done dirty, like who do you Beckon? Got
Speaker 4: the roughest treatment on the show.
Speaker 7: I think Hannah probably got a rough edit.
Speaker 6: We didn't get to see half of her hilarity, Like
Speaker 6: if there was one.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, she goes, you missed all my funny bit.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 6: She We were persing ourselves the whole season and they
Speaker 6: didn't really get to show her hilarious. And honestly, that
Speaker 6: girl is hysterical and she I mean, we had to
Speaker 6: be separated at one point for one of the challenges
Speaker 6: because we were just passing ourselves so hard and they
Speaker 6: were like, shut up, you two them. We were just
Speaker 6: laughing and then she'd like walk past the door like
Speaker 6: and we just fucking lose it all over again. So
Speaker 6: if there was somebody that probably got done dirty, it's
Speaker 6: her that we didn't get to see enough of the beautiful,
Speaker 6: hilarious person that she is.
Speaker 1: Had you met Hanna before the show?
Speaker 7: No? I hadn't, But.
Speaker 6: Hannah had watched House of so she knew who I was.
Speaker 6: I knew who she was, and then her and new
Speaker 6: boyfriend had been watching it just before she came. And yeah,
Speaker 6: so she knew who I was and what I could do.
Speaker 6: But yeah, just headed off right away with that girl.
Speaker 7: She is a.
Speaker 6: Legend and so polished and finished and amazing and so
Speaker 6: incredible and just like a dream fairy prince here say,
Speaker 6: like if some kid got there at Christmas, that'd be
Speaker 6: bloody stoked.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: She was definitely one of my favorites, as well as Gury.
Speaker 4: I mean, we've got to talk about Bloody Urine. How
Speaker 4: adorable he is?
Speaker 1: Is he actually going to come over for Chris Smith?
Speaker 1: You reckon?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 7: I mean we actually were just talking.
Speaker 6: He was at my hotel on the weekend and we
Speaker 6: were talking about because there's probably a move on the
Speaker 6: cards for you, for both of us, and we were
Speaker 6: talking about moving in together to Australia, Yeah, to Melbourne,
Speaker 6: and we were talking about moving in together. So yeah,
Speaker 6: a family Christmas could be on the cards. Won't this year,
Speaker 6: but could be next.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that would be the most fun place
Speaker 4: to have a house party with you two.
Speaker 1: That is amazing.
Speaker 7: We'd have bottles of booze on the tree. It'll be perfect.
Speaker 3: Or an orgy. I mean, that'd be hot, well, eat
Speaker 3: access all the time, ready to go.
Speaker 4: I got to say you really bagged out your hometown,
Speaker 4: Parmasan North quite a bit.
Speaker 1: But I'd never heard of the place.
Speaker 4: I went and gave it a bit of a Google
Speaker 4: and it actually looked fucking lovely. I was picturing an
Speaker 4: absolute shithole. Is there a part of you that actually
Speaker 4: loves it?
Speaker 7: Oh? I absolutely froth from my hometown. I do. That's
Speaker 7: where I grow up, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: It's not you know, I think it doesn't have all
Speaker 6: of the like the new mod cons and like the
Speaker 6: stuff that I'm used to from living in a big city.
Speaker 6: It just doesn't. So when you go from the big
Speaker 6: city and come back here, it's like, oh God, really,
Speaker 6: Like I can't even get over eats past ten pm, you.
Speaker 7: Know what I mean, Like stuff like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's Parmesan North doesn't have everything, but it
Speaker 6: is one of the most beautiful cities in New Zealand.
Speaker 6: And it's the people of Parmisteron North that make it incredible. Now,
Speaker 6: the most warm, open, kind and loving people that you'll
Speaker 6: even meet. Okay, yeah, you're still going to get some precks.
Speaker 3: But you get there are everywhere.
Speaker 6: But the thing is, it's the people of parmas North
Speaker 6: that make Palmi so grave.
Speaker 1: Is there much of a queer thing there.
Speaker 6: To be fair then, wasn't. I mean, we used to
Speaker 6: have a couple of nightclubs back in the day. They've
Speaker 6: kind of disappeared. But we literally just had New Zealand's
Speaker 6: biggest drag festival here Wow, which was supposed to.
Speaker 7: Be part of but I was away and we lived.
Speaker 6: Because many Cooper was here, Yuri was in a Karen
Speaker 6: from finance Peter, and it was here in Pami. So
Speaker 6: we are definitely becoming a melting pot for drag and
Speaker 6: it's a fabulous thing.
Speaker 1: I love that. No, it actually looked gorgeous and it's
Speaker 1: nice to head back home.
Speaker 4: Occasionally. I find the same with my hometown. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 4: I don't want to live here for ever, but it's
Speaker 4: got a place in my heart, you know.
Speaker 7: Oh one hundred percent.
Speaker 6: It's like I wouldn't be who I am today if
Speaker 6: it wasn't for like my time here and the roughness
Speaker 6: and the growing up here. You know, I think that
Speaker 6: that's who that's what made me me today, And I've
Speaker 6: always just kind of carried Pami with me, and like
Speaker 6: you say, it is nice to come home there's something
Speaker 6: comforting about coming back to the streets you grew up
Speaker 6: in and now coming back with a crown. I mean, babes,
Speaker 6: you'll see me at the wall. I'm just going to
Speaker 6: be shopping at CAMA. I'll be like, hey, babes, hey.
Speaker 1: Is it heavy? That thing that you've got on your
Speaker 1: head right now? Is that the actual crown they gave you.
Speaker 6: It's not the actual crown. It's a replacement crown. But
Speaker 6: I will get the crown, hopefully soon. And I tell
Speaker 6: you what, I'm gonna wear it around them with no
Speaker 6: pants on, and I'm going to pop back a dart
Speaker 6: and just have a wine where it arrives.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is brilliant.
Speaker 4: Another question about the prize, by the way, I know
Speaker 4: that they said you get a year's supply of Anastasia
Speaker 4: Beverly Hills.
Speaker 1: What the fuck does that actually mean? Like, is it
Speaker 1: all you can eat? You? It's used as much as
Speaker 1: you can and they keep feeling new after a gift card.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I haven't received it yet, but they
Speaker 6: just messaged me about my foundation colors and stuff. I
Speaker 6: did make some specific requests because we used a lot
Speaker 6: of their products while we were on the show, which
Speaker 6: are brilliant, you know. I mean, I'm stoked and for
Speaker 6: Drag Queen to win a year's supply, Hello, Mama is happy,
Speaker 6: and so will my friends be as well, because anything
Speaker 6: that's beige I can't wear because I'm just too pretty
Speaker 6: for it.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: Now, She'll be diving to the question we ask every guest, Mitchell, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do this to every guest. And I don't
Speaker 3: know if any of the other queens have told you, Spanky,
Speaker 3: but we ask our all our guests, not just the
Speaker 3: Drag Race Debrief queens, but any guests we have on
Speaker 3: the show. We have a list of things better than
Speaker 3: drugs and dick because we have a lot of young
Speaker 3: listeners who were focused on both drugs and dick and
Speaker 3: yes they can be fun, but there's more to life
Speaker 3: than those two things. So, Mitch, what are some examples
Speaker 3: that we've had.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so with just a little thing in life that
Speaker 1: you appreciate.
Speaker 4: So Faux first said her twelve dollar k Mat sushi
Speaker 4: maker yesterday, Hannah Condo said the Wizard of Oz, which
Speaker 4: is her comforting like Yeah, Molly pop and said burger
Speaker 4: shake and fries. Beverly Kill said, pre preparing your hangover,
Speaker 4: like getting all the essentials you need for when you
Speaker 4: wake up.
Speaker 3: Yep, prepping.
Speaker 7: Okay, she's only twenty one.
Speaker 6: She doesn't know what I hangover as.
Speaker 4: I was thinking that, Oh yeah, it could be anything
Speaker 4: like fresh bed linen.
Speaker 6: Oh babes, it has to be CAVEC like, honestly, come on, guys,
Speaker 6: better than drugs and sticks or drugs and deck is
Speaker 6: KFC because you still get to suck on something, but
Speaker 6: you don't have the after taste after.
Speaker 3: There's no shame in swallowing at all.
Speaker 7: Right right or dropping skin into your boots for later.
Speaker 1: You know that's what's your go to casey order.
Speaker 6: Oh everything. It's quite a meming, really double seeing a
Speaker 6: burger ultimate Burger meal with a wack of wings pack
Speaker 6: and another large chips and you need a big thing
Speaker 6: a gravy as well. It's been a fun with friends
Speaker 6: an order like three family packs and we will demolish
Speaker 6: it because I'm a big bitch.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm so coming to visit you in
Speaker 1: Uri for CAFC.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, wait, could you if I made a
Speaker 6: CAFC Christmas tree and I just hadn't a ring on it?
Speaker 7: It'd be so.
Speaker 3: Popcorn chicken instead of bables. Yeah right, totally long May
Speaker 3: you rain, Spanky Jackson. Congratulations, Queen, Thank you so much.
Speaker 7: It just means the world to me.
Speaker 6: And I'm just so grateful to be standing here and
Speaker 6: to be standing with two incredible queens like Queen and
Speaker 6: Hannah as well, but some of the best dragged talent
Speaker 6: in Australasia, and I couldn't be more proud to represent
Speaker 6: all of us.
Speaker 7: So thank you so much. Guys.
Speaker 1: Congratulations, thank you. We're absolutely thrilled for you.
Speaker 7: Mitchell.
Speaker 6: I absolutely love your videos and I love the ones
Speaker 6: about your sister's baby clacked me.
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't realize you'd seen me for Oh thank.
Speaker 7: You Mitchell babes. I've been watching you for a while and.
Speaker 1: I wow, I'm flatted.
Speaker 7: You're so funny.
Speaker 1: Oh thanks Darling.
Speaker 7: See you guys. Thank you.
Speaker 3: She's fucking funny, isn't she what. I'd love to get
Speaker 3: a drink with Spanky Jackson, and by the sounds of it,
Speaker 3: she would too same.
Speaker 4: I'm just still a bit blushed at the fact that
Speaker 4: she already knew who I was going into this interview.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that she knew me.
Speaker 3: She was looking at me, and I will say, I
Speaker 3: have made one video about my sister in twenty twelve,
Speaker 3: so I do it might be me. We don't know,
Speaker 3: We really don't.
Speaker 1: No, there was definitely a plural. She said, I love
Speaker 1: your videos now, shit, so it's you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well take it.
Speaker 1: I'm so tough. Spanky is an absolute icon. Isn't she
Speaker 1: just a hoot?
Speaker 3: She's so funny and guys, she's so hot. She was
Speaker 3: wearing the crown that she was given, well the interim crown,
Speaker 3: and she looked gorgeous. I don't know what she's done
Speaker 3: with her makeup, but she's changed a few things up
Speaker 3: and she looked stunning.
Speaker 4: I think that she was just brilliant, and I'm glad
Speaker 4: it was her. I'm sure everyone deserved to win, but
Speaker 4: you know, I'm happy with that winner. I'll go two
Speaker 4: key with in a row.
Speaker 3: And when are people going to realize that that's what
Speaker 3: RuPaul likes. All these queens that come on like, you know,
Speaker 3: I don't want to use Beverly an example, but she's
Speaker 3: what's coming to mind. I'm fierce, I can lip sing,
Speaker 3: I can split. That's not actually what RuPaul wants to
Speaker 3: see and that's not who he wants to win. He
Speaker 3: wants to like laugh and belly laugh and look at
Speaker 3: a hooker on stage. She said it many times.
Speaker 4: Did you notice in that that final lip think that
Speaker 4: they did spanking.
Speaker 1: Jackson's whole thing is like not wearing pants.
Speaker 4: And yet it was the other two, Queen Kong and Hannahconda,
Speaker 4: that at one point during the dance like dropped their
Speaker 4: skirts and just had the pants on underneath so they
Speaker 4: could dance around.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's like an old trick for Spanky. She
Speaker 1: didn't need to pull that card.
Speaker 3: No she didn't. But she won. She's got the cash,
Speaker 3: she's got the makeup, and she's got the crown. And
Speaker 3: I will say, we had a great, great time doing
Speaker 3: Drag Race Debrief. This has been real fun.
Speaker 1: I've loved this book club of ours.
Speaker 3: It has been a bit book club esque, hasn't it
