RuPaul: Blocking Out the Bullsh*t

Join Alex in the studio for a very raw interview with RuPaul! Alex and RuPaul discuss when he feels his most confident and why he prefers to be alone. RuPaul talks about his childhood and how he always knew he was different from the other kids. He opens up about his parents’ broken relationship, the day his mom tried to set his father’s car on fire, and how he found himself mimicking their toxic behaviors in his own life. Alex and RuPaul discuss emotionally unavailable men, why it’s so important to break the cycle of bad partners, and how it truly doesn’t matter what other people think of you. RuPaul tells some crazy stories from his early days in the club scene and gets real about what he was doing to avoid confronting his feelings. RuPaul opens up about meeting his husband, falling in love, breaking up, and how they ultimately found their way back to each other. This interview is full of wisdom and shows a side of RuPaul we’ve never seen before… Tune in now wherever you get your podcasts

I know!! I hate that I listen to CHD. There’s literally zero interview skills. But I always like the guests.

[@francescoroberts3841]

These questions are TIRED. Straight people need to catch up, this is MOTHER we're talking about. Do your research. Stop asking about what "You're born naked and the rest is drag" means. Like, tf.

[@TheVivienneX]

Great interview, but also, can we start asking Ru some different questions?

[@NeuroDeviant69]

Yes, please. And maybe then we will get some different answers from Ru as well. How many more times do we have to hear "My Mother always said...If they aint paying your bills...etc. etc."... It's a great way of thinking but we have heard this from him for the past 20 years or so.

Kudos to Alex Cooper, this was a really good interview. Thank you for sharing your platform with the iconic Mama Ru.

This is a very strange interview. It made me uncomfortable. I also don’t know what these two could possibly have in common - and hence they don’t go past talking about new age hippy trippy stuff. I know that this is a ‘highlight’ from the interview so I’m definitely not interested in hearing more. And why would anyone call her Daddy? Because she swears all the time? I would have loved to have seen a Queer woman interview Ru - someone who we could actually call Daddy. I’m not a hater in a basement btw - I’m a queer artist outside the US who has worked alongside drag queens for 25 years - including several who have been on Drag Race from several counties - who also has a journalism degree, has interviewed hundreds of people - has been interviewed many times myself and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of drag. And a woman. Not a hater. Ru is renowned for not being a ‘nice’ or being a very personable human. I can confirm this first hand from when I was working for a community organisation who brought him across the world for a big event. If I was interviewing Ru -(which I have NO interest in doing) I’d want to ask him what might have led to this armour. You know - actually ask real questions. I have nothing but respect for what Ru has done for our culture but I’d love to understand why there is such a disconnect irl.
