It's part of what do you call beautiful? And we are here. Actually this cruise is on a yacht, so it's it's pretty amazing. Presently are blue and white night. Captain's dinner party, et cetera is going on upstairs, and I have snuck away to the cabin to do a little broadcast the cabin's cabin and I'm just sitting in palm springs and a brown out, you know what I mean. I mean, if I had a nickel, the amount of times I've been in a brown out if you know what, Hey, yo yakaka, are you like full of dad jokes? That's all he's dad jokes one after another? What the here go? What? What the fish say when it swam into the wall? What damn? Everyone?

I'm trash um, I'm one of our favorites here. I'm not gonna let you waste the time with bad jokes. All right, we're gonna drop into this because baby, you and I both like Prianka is probably one of our top queens of all time ever, and I remember them the minute we first saw you on Canada's Drag Race. You walked in and we were like, that's a superstar right there, and not only because you are a superstar, but also because you remind us of one of our best friends. That's also a superstar. Yeah. Megan tell us she's a news anchor at kt l A in l A and she's obsessed with you, and she sees your stuff and always goes, me, that's me, this is me. You're like a drag. She's like, you're like a drag tribute to her, and she's a she's a she kind of dragged herself, and she'll say she's a dragon. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes. And I remembering my off I remember seeing you going, oh my gosh, finally someone on TV that has more energy than me. I'm not the crazy one anymore. Like there's someone that actually has more energy than me. And I loved it because you brought me up. Every time we watched you. I was like, oh, Priyanka makes me feel alive. Yeah. I mean, it's funny that I was perceived that way, because I felt like it was such a TV vacation. I was like, Oh, I finally get to go on television and talk about gay ship and like just actually be myself. It was the most electric feeling ever, because it's not that when I was doing kids TV I had to hide it. It just wasn't something we talked about like I wasn't talking about boys, I wasn't talking about being in drag I was just talking about SpongeBob SquarePants, right, and it is And I'm just happy. I'm really happy. I also like thinking about like the timing of it all too, like being on you know during the pandemic, when it was like super it was everyone was locked down. I think it really helped to It was my mom who called that. My mom was like, oh, this show will take off because of the pandemic. Mark my words was like, what are you talking about? Mom? And she was right. Everyone will always remember season one of Canada's Ragays Thank God, Oh my god. Yeah, You're like the hope that we needed at the time in the world. We're like, oh, this will take me out of my day of what all the all the craziness that's going on, and like give me something that's fun and uplifting to watch. So, I mean, we needed you, and we needed you, and we need a Tiger King like you and Tiger King are what got us through the pandemic. You know. It's not like if I like that's my next tattoo? Are you the Tiger Queen? The Queen Carol Box is shaking Carol, really, no wonder she hates me. I'm making this up. I have no clue with who that woman is. And she first shared cut her husband. But I remember watching Tiger King. What an amazing, amazing documentary have you all seen? Don't with cats? Oh my gosh, yes, we were just talking about that in Croatia. We were just lucagnata. I hope they want to Oscar for that documentary. The way that it was put together, I said, oh my god, this is filmmaking, bits, this is documentary making, this is everything. I was on the edge of my of my seat the entire time it happened in Toronto, down the street from where I live. Hello, yes, yikes, but I'm not to be I'm I'm not about to be at Karen and be like, what if it was me? Luca m mcnata doesn't give a shit about me. That's controversial said that, But let me say something is that I am obsessed. They also just like release that Luca mcnata is like married a woman in jail. Yes he did, yes, yes, yes, do he likes the puss. I don't understand like wanting to to to marry somebody that's committed murders in jail. Like, I think that people find hurt people hurt people, and hurt people find hurt people. And I think what I'm assuming is that miss Thing found a way to like relate to him and say, like, I understand why you did what you did. I also wanted to kill my cats and kill a random person and chop them up and throw them in a garbage bag in Montreal. Relatable content and they find each other and they love each other, and that's just that. Did I just justify that? That's so, dub Let's move on the next question. So the question is, let's talk about question. There wasn't a question brought us. You brought it up. Oh my gosh, do you think? Yes, I think of where your life is now versus before before going on drag race, Like, can you imagine what your life is like now if you never want on drag race? So my drag mom, Ecstasy Love always says that like I still would be doing exactly what I'm doing, it just would have taken me longer to get That's like what she says, Like and like she has this perspective of she like came to my birthday party, was like you should start drag and I was like, I'm starting drag, let's do it, and threw myself in the ring and became like the girl in Toronto and then went on to win Canada's Drag Race. So she sees it from a different perspective. The perspective that I see it from is, oh, I guess if I didn't go on Canada's Drag Race, then I would be still on Kids TV or have moved up into like Entertainment TV and went to Eat Canada or something or E t U S or whatever to like be a reporter on the Red carpet. But I don't know. I I definitely think that like drag Race holds an audience that you just cannot get anywhere else, a very loyal fandom. Um So I don't know. I feel like I would have gotten here event eventually, Like I I look at like my my my music and stuff up and like taste test, my EP got like so many like streams and and lemons. First one viral because she's an icon, and I that. But then I think back to before drag Grace. I was like, oh, I had released two songs already, Like I was already on my way. I already wanted to do this, so I think like drag Grace was just that bump of coke that I needed. You got that boost. I'm speaking of the Lemon verse though, like everything, every everything, it really is like I cannot tell you when that viral clip went out. I probably watched it twenty times in a row the first time, and then I still will have days where I will pull it up just for that clip. Yes, I remember when she recorded it. The funny story about the funny thing. The funniest thing about about this verse is that the songwriter that I was writing with kind of like made up like a little bit of like a guide for her. It was like, here's what we're kind of thinking, you know, and lemons like you match. I'm a rapt And so she scraped the whole thing and she writes this verse no changes, like what you hear in the song is her first stab at that, at that in the in the and and then she she came to where we were recording it, got Starbucks where ha ha he ha, who has sister sister and sister miss thing got in the verse into the sorry miss Thing got into the booth, and I was listening to her rapid and I literally I was like, this is going to go viral, Like nothing in my mind says this isn't. And then then then I got the first mix have come through and I'm listening to my verses and I'm like, wow, I'm a fucking singer. I'm so proud of myself. It was the first song in the EP that that I had gotten back, and I was like, holy shit, like this thing is going to take off for for me. Lemon's Verse hit and I remember I was driving and I just like I felt like this said like I was like proud of her because I truly believe that at the finale of Canider, because I should have been standing there with her because she's so undeniably talented. So it was a nice way to be able to celebrate her in the way that she always celebrated me throughout the whole competition. And what's good is what's good. And I actually like sat there and like created those clips off for TikTok of her verse and posted them as soon as come through came out, and went on YouTube and created an hour long loop of the verse myself because I am like, we have to support each other, and we have to like when you know something's good, don't avoid it, baby, just go in and just go go with it. When it's good, it's good. When it's good, it's good exactly anyway. So that's along along, Please we can I can talk about I love that about you. But I love that, like I know, like not everybody agrees in this because some people like, oh I watch Drag Grace, like the Cantinists or whatever, but like I love when the Queen's all get along and support each other and build each other up. And I feel like you do that so well, and just to hear you you're the best a lemon and doing that for her, I just think that's a beautiful thing. So I just gotta say, like, thank you for being that positive role model in this space I got you. You know. The one thing I realized about being an artist is it's been really hard to get people to care about your art and like really like appreciate what it is you're trying to do with your career slash artistry. Right as as a true artist, you feel something and you do it, and like there's such a lack of support there from everybody because everybody just feels startned and no one thinks that there's a room for all of us, but there literally is. That is that is something that I find so much, especially you find that especially in the in the in the in the queer community, that happens so much, and especially in the queer entertainment community. It's like it's like there because I think we've always had this feeling of scarcity, like we're we're never enough, you know, as full For me, I can't speak for everyone, but from me, I know it's like the feeling of like, oh, being a queer performer, there's not enough roles, there's not enough positions, like I'm not good enough to play this, or I'm I'm not enough to I don't deserve this role. But now that the entertainment industry and just the world with with social media and what entertainment is, it's all different forms now that there are plenty of spots for everyone and there's plenty of space for everyone to succeed in to shine, and I think we kind of have that old feeling in our heads sometimes or some people you know of like just there's not enough, there's not enough pie And it's actually there's plenty of pies for everybody, and everyone will have a piece of it, and like it's just like also, the big problem in our industry is that like people whenever they see someone being successful, it makes them hold up a mirror to themselves and then they completely lose it. They're like, well, now you're stupid, or than there's sounds stupid or them this that. So it's like it's just a weird thing. But the way that the one that the one thing that I say is like keep pushing and keep going. And I'm learning it's it's really truly about who you stride yourself with. What do you think about this? I mean, like who who's in your circle can really dictate and and and influence your action in your career, in your life, in the way you treat people and what you the actions you know, and like I've learned that so much and it's such an interesting like thing to learn. My boyfriend's here, My boys, My boyfriend just came in the frame. He's let's go viral. So y'all listening, just so you know, we do these on zoom so we can all see each other as well. And Pat's boyfriend just gave us a light little show. Just came in the room with a little skin. Hey, boyfriend, we gotta take a quick break and come right back and talk about season three Canadas drag Rissa and We're act with the One and Only What's Her Name? Podcast? Okay, we're we're digging in. We're we're locking in our our high heels and we're digging into season three Canada's Drag Race and Go. I've only watched one episode drunk. I haven't watched any of the season. Um, something happens when you're a drag race girl that you stop watching drag Race typically kind of except for Crystal met Method watches it like it is the Bible. Um, because it's it's just because like it's like it wasn't traumatizing for me personally. Um, but it's just different. It's just so different now. But I am excited for like to crown somebody. I'm excited for isis coatore to step down. I cannot wait to see what she's gonna gonna wear. Um, I'm excited to go and cry my eyes. I'm a crier here. Listen, I'm gonna tell you understand this. So like as a Drag Race Girl. You say that as an Amazing Race girl. I get it because I always watched the show. I loved it when before I was on it, and then after being on it, it's weird. It's hard to watch it after having actually like seen it through your own eyes. It takes away something, and then I feel like watching other seasons after you sort of starts to take away from your experience and you don't want to diminish what it was through your own eyes. It's like I never watched Amazing Race again after I was on, even though I loved the show, because my experience was what it was and I didn't want to taint it with anything after that. So I get it. I get it when you said that, And it's no shade. It's no shade toward it at all. It's just your experience was so great that you don't want to taint how great it was. Understand it completely. I got you. You know, it's like watching Mean Girls Jonathan's gaze. How can I how can I believe it? Oh? Okay, well, you know. It's it's the quality of the action. It's the quality of the way you're pitch with right. Carrie Whistle to Oh, so we're gonna we're gonna talk about mean girls. No, we know we're going to talk about well, I was gonna say that. I feel the same way with with Big Brother being on Celebrity Big Brother and with Dancing with the Stars. I don't watch either anymore because it ruined it for me. Like I can't, I just can't watch. It's just like, yeah, I mean, I like, I like watching the Winner season because I think that also, as like a drag queen, you watch and and and you like you take in things that you want to be a part of. You know, I watched the Winner CE season and what one day I want to be on the Winner See season, or like you watch music videos and like I want to do that. I want to you know, all that kind of stuff. So when when you're when when when it's in the past, in the past, honey, what do you say when when it's good? It's good? Okay, it's good. But baby? Also though, like, wasn't Dancing with the Stars like maybe a little traumatic for you because like I saw the dancing like so maybe yes, I didn't realize segment two was take Jonathan. I didn't understand that anyone else, and I love the can talk about my acts. What do you want to dance moves? But the dance, the dancing with the start the pitbull one was good, baby, that was very good for you. And my baby is not the dancing queen that you would like to be. And we have to be honest in our relationship about things. As I listen, I'm not an actor. I'm certainly not the actress in the family. So I understand guys. Act one it was queer supporting queers. Now complete what being gay is all about. We act like we support each other and then we go we hid each other's back and talk shit. It's all in love. We do like what I'm a horrible dand each other, but like a little fun shade towards each other. This dance moves very together. For five years, yeah, five years long women together five years almost six maybe almost six almost six. For almost six months, we've been together for six almost six years. So just to give your a little backstory on why everybody's so delirious right now, my baby just finished shooting two movies back to back. I have been up for some hundred forty six hours in the Adriatic Sea on this outbound trip and Prianka is presently in a room with the TV in a box and a carousel horse. I don't know what a new dog and a new dog a new dog and what is your boyfriend? It was in that's my drag, Mom, Oh it's not the boyfriend. So okay, okay, I was like, we have before patting on, but that would explain it. Yeah, okay, before we get into we gotta get into so many things. We have to get into your your song stress stuff, your ax stress stuff. But we have to talk about Daisy because I am in love with Daisy. Are you? Are you so happy to have so I've never had changes your life, right, Changing a dog is like literally the most life changing thing ever. I've never had a dog. But it is a not but and it's a full time job. It's it is training. We're training her properly. She's creating, she's is she not create right now? She's not crying her rate right now. So we're celebrating this congratulation. She's Daisy, that's our all um, And like celebrating when a dog takes a ship. It's a very interesting feeling, I mean, but it's amazing. It's incredible my boyfriend. It's like bringing my boyfriend and I closer together because now we can like, who's gonna take her this? Make sure she does this? Like it's it's like really really fun bonding. Both of us recommended together. We've been together for a year and ten months or two years in December, so that's twelve gay years. Yeah, yeah, that's literally like, yes, more than a decade. Do you live together? We live together now? Yeah, it's amazing when your drag mom live there too. My drag mom is not here on the house behind you. I gotta ask, I want to live there? Why is there a team? It looks fun? Why is there a rugby team in a living room? Who was that? So? So? This that's my finale dress on a display. The cheese hat is on because the wig went went to Montreal for this museum. Uh, and then the horses. When I perform at the Country Music Awards, I did my country which was amazing, by the way. I was perched for that and it was amazing you and then my dragma is here because we're going out for dinner in twenty five minutes and my boyfriend is entering around. Wait, why are we talking about visuals. Do you have a filter on or makeup? Or why is your skin looks so good? I have makeup. I put like a little beat on right now it looks okay skin. You got close to the camera just now, and I was like, damn, because that's not what my skin looks like. I'm close. No, no, no, it's like the shiseto like gorgeous, very lightly fluffy, you know. So yeah, it looks like my skin is filtered. But wait, did you go to the finale and drag or do you go to I'm not going in drag? My drag mom is going in drag because she's that bitch. Do you know what I mean? Yes? But how about yes? You better get to that level of yes, I was the winner of this show, and I will show up not in drag. Yeah, oh remember me for my confessionals. That's what you're getting. Yeah, but whenever, I won't lie like I love being in drags whenever, Like now that like I see her in drag, I know that everyone else is going to be in dragon, like damnit. And I just took the two hours like a eyelash, and you realize how stupid pretty you are in drag too, but you posted something recently of your first time in drag versus where you got now baby, But that's that's inspirational to everybody else trying out there to figure out how to do it? What changed? What changed? How did you what? What did you figure out that made you like figure out how to be like the beautiful version of You're always beautiful, but like you have figured out how to be like stunned time. Yeah, I mean I work with um a makeup artist named Victor Peters who's also part of my drag family in the House of Love. His name is Varushka like her and her drag names Rushka, and I worked with Victor, says twenty twenty one. When I started to kind of step into the music video world to like, let's hire makeup artis, I'm like, no, I'm doing my oh makeup because I want to look like me. And then it was kind of like, you know, we want to shoot this like Murder Mystery in a castle in Toronto, so you're gonna have time to your makeup, bitch. So I's like, hey, fine, So we hired Victor and it was like from then it was like hire him for everything and he helped me learn how to do my makeup properly and why things are the way they are, and like learn my ace and stuff. So it's interesting. I went up for that's my experience. But I went up for brunch with Chekhole, who we love, and she was I was like, oh, like, do you ever get someone to paint you? And she's like, no, I've been doing my makeup like since the beginning. I was like floor, Like I was like, wow, you're just really talent, national talent. Oh my gosh. She never compare. Yeah, because because her face, her face is one of the absolute that bitchy as brow. Yeah, yeah, she's stunning. Like yeah, absolutely, I mean like I did you. I don't know if you know this, but maybe you know this obviously I'm a huge fan, Like from the Monte she walked in the workroom the very first time ever the first season. I was like, ah, I want to know her. So yeah, I'm I'm I'm a hyper up all the time. Yeah, she's a star. And she's shooting a Marvel show right now, Like let me yeah, and she's doing Marvel, we are doing it. And you, speaking of being an actress, you have a Canadian comedy tell us about that. Yeah, I'm like a lead in a rom com that's coming out next year. And I also amazing I got announced that I'm in um like a vampire or Vampire Diaries meets Pretty the Liars meets kind of like whatever comedy shows that there. I'm also part of that. Like being on deadline and playback and all that stuff is absolutely crazy, Like because I made an intention this year, I said, listen, I've I've done this, I've done that, but this year, I want to do more on screen acting. I feel like this it's like I did. I did like a little bit of on screen acting with y TV, the kids TV show stuff, but it was never like acting. And then I booked the rom com and it was one of the best experiences of my life because learning how to be soft on camera is interesting, Like what subtle emotions can make a big impact through the lens is very interesting. Um And then today I got a call saying that I got a role on a Netflix show. What It's like. It's one of those things where like, if you truly work hard and speak things in the existence, baby, it's gonna baby it comes to life. But my question is we are doing podcast? What does pride mean to you? Pride I mean I'll never first of all. First off, First of all, first of all, pride means unconditional pride to me means letting somebody have their ups and downs and still being there like person to let them grow up in. You know, being a queer person is hooked up. It's so hard. Everyone hates you, You hate yourself, You have body dysmorphia, depression, anxiety. When day you wake up you want to die. The next day you wake up your queen of the world. Like it's all these things all encompassed, right, And I think that you need people in your life that become your pride, that like allow you to have this journey, don't judge you for it. So I think pride is like a family thing for me. That parts you said about how one day you can feel the top of the world, another day you can feel bottom of them. Listen to that. If you're listening, I know you go through that because we all go through it with saying is you're not alone. You're not alone in that feeling and the happy days they're coming too. So like make sure you are you are you? You got those coming, like just know that we all go through the interesting thing, Like the interesting thing about like the happy days that you really have to want them to get them. That's what I feel like. You really have to like like have like a clear intention, like tonight, I'm going out to have a good time and nothing can stop me. Like that intention, you have to see it all the way through because like you have to hold yourself accountable for the energy around you and the energy that you create for yourself. It's a very interesting thing because I'm I'm I'm past like things outside can really affect me. Like if someone's in a bad wood, I'm in a bad mood. If someone throws me a bit of shade, it's going off my whole night. But I've learned to just protect myself. It's hard, but good. I can watch you talk every single day for the rest of my life. I think you're so entertaining in every single word you say. Um. We we talked about a lot about the things that the queer community is going through and a lot of the troubles that they face. But what we like to do on Proadcast is also kind of flip that on its head and shout out what's your favorite part about being queer? What's the best thing about being part of the l g b t Q plus community. The best thing would be the first word that came to my mind was hero I think, like, you know what it what did it say? Hindsight is yes, And when I like to look at like all the things that I've done, I did that with my head down just because I wanted to do it for myself and didn't give a shit about what other people think, because my mom was always like where work hard, you get the jobs, and don't let anybody others ever see for anything but like who you are, okay, mom? But then looking back, I think my favorite thing about being a queer person, and it also being a brown person, is that people can look at me and see that like we can have success to and I'm very like, I feel like, very very thankful that I'm like this brown person who won Candida Drivers, who went on to be a pop star, who's now leading a movie, who's now just poked to a Netflix show, because like, now any brown person can be like, oh well, if Ryanka did it, that I could do it too, and like that's like you can't, that's hard That's a hard thing, right, It's a hard thing to like because we often like are like, Okay, well who's doing it? Everyone wants to be like the first, but sometimes like you know, I'm just opening the door for everyone else to walk through. So I would say that's it would be a queer person. That's it. That's it. That's that's so absolutely amazing, opening the door for everybody else to walk through. That that that right there. That That's what Jonathan and I always say to whenever we get a chance to do any type of activism or first anything, or our second or third is getting to do something. It's like, open that doors so somebody else can come through it. Hold it open and let's blast people. Get the whole alphabet mafia in here. So I love that you know how important what you're doing is because it is Prianka. There are people that feel like they have hope and they can be successful because of you, because you are the first one. And that's a really cool thing. And I love that you know that something like that's why we're so proud of you and wanted to have you on here because it's beautiful. It's beautiful speaking of people that we wanna we wanna shine our spotlight on and and moments that we want to shine our spotlight on. Let's let's do some big gay spotlight baby, will you set me up? Yeah? Sure. Each week we like to shout out people on the l g B t Q plus community that are doing the most good, that are doing extraordinary things for the community and for people around them, and we like to shine our big gay spotlight on them. So this week, James, let's shine our big gay spotlight on Hey Branco. While I do this, I'm gonna let you think if the Summa you want to shine you a big gay spotlight on two And I'm gonna jump right in on this one because it's not a person. No, not this week. No, I'm shot my big gay spotlight on a cartoon because I'm shot it on Pepper Pig, featuring the same sex couple on the show for the very first time. So Penny the Polar Bear has actually got two moms. Uh So, during the episode, the main character Pepper got introduced to uh Penny Polar Bear, I just said, I live with my mummy and my other mummy. One mummy is a doctor. And when we mommy cook spaghetti, I love spaghetti. It's just that simple. It's really just that simple doing something like that where kids will see their family represented, kids will see a different example of love, and it will help change hearts and minds. It will help people feel seen. And over the years, Pepper Pig has made references to the LGBTQ Plus community in the show and through her albums. So Pepper is an iconic, iconic pig. And this week I'm shinning my big gay spotlight on you girl, and we shot in our big gay spotlight on all the pigs in the lgbt Q plus community. We see all the pigs, not just Peppa, and we love you too. So if you are one of the pigs out there, listen to this podcast. Oint oint to you. Baby. First of all, he run an overreact like he knows these terms now. So in Palm Springs at the gym we do every once in a while see an advertiser for pig party. There's a pig party. It's an oint party. And so now my baby is like using this term like he knows exactly what it's about. Exactly. Do you want to shine your biggest spotlight on anyone? Uh? Yeah, I was shinning my gay big spotlight ah on my drug mom. She's back there. Y see her, Yes, just can't because the boxes in the way. But she's really in a full wig, pony tail, leather round out of it. And um, I would love to shine my gay big spotlight on a you love my drug mother who you all should go follow her right now because I think that I talk about intention a lot, and I think that this person has taught me intention. She knows exactly what she wants to do, how she wants to make people feel, what message she wants to come across. You know, she says her her initials are X and out why because I'm fat and everything. The audience is always like, uh what because we're you know, we're talking growing up that fat's a bad word, right, And she's like, you know, I'm fat and beauty. Beauty comes in all sizes, and I'm like, damn like her intentions to make everybody feel like fully love for who they are and not judged. And you know I would say that that and seen there it is that big gay spotlight on her, all right. I love that, and I love I love you have that love for her, and thank you to her for being your mama so we could get you in this world too. They say, thank you for my mom. She says, ah, when I turn on her, uh, turn on her. I just had a bad influence in my life and I was like, whatever, how are you in? Drag years now? Drag years time for five and five or six five years.

James, talk about gay history this week, But we just had a whole conversation about media and people ucing media for representation and to help people feel seen and to move progress along. So let's take it back to nineteen seventy two. Nineteen seventy two, mash marored on CBS and Corporal Max Klinger was television's first ongoing character that was a cross stresser. So think about that that we have these shows like Drag Race that we love now that we are these huge stars like come From But nineteen seventy two was the first time that a male character on TV was wearing clothes for I guess close that we're supposed to be intended for females, but like now we know because we've revolved that they're clothes for everybody. So pretty cool in nineteen seventy two. Now look at the progress we've made.
