- Hello! My name's Alaska.
What's yours?
- I'm Willam! I host podcasts with you on the MOM Network.
I think I know you.
(Alaska squeals)
- Today, we're going to be playing a little game
called Truth or Wine. - Truth or Wine.
You need to take a sip.
You absolutely need to take a sip.
(intense upbeat music)
Which season of Drag Race, International Series included,
can you watch over and over?
I really liked Drag Race, season two in England.
That was really, really good.
Tayce, A'Whora, Ellie.
All those girls really, really turned it,
And stepped their (beep) up.
- Season three. It's so good.
It's the classic season.
It's like, really when they were
like, starting to hit their stride.
The Queens are all so amazing.
And they're still all iconic to this day.
- [Willam] Which season of Drag Race
is by far the most boring season?
I haven't seen 'em all, so I don't really know.
I don't really think any of 'em are boring,
other than like, season three,
because we all knew that Raja was going to win
before she won because Perez Hilton
spoiled it for everybody.
So I'd say season three.
- But it still wasn't boring.
It was still really, really good.
- [Willam] What's your favorite (and least favorite part)
about hosting a podcast?
My favorite part about hosting a podcast
is hanging out with Alaska.
My least favorite part about hosting a podcast
is when it's over.
Talk to your friends and then you're like,
what are you doing? Can we hang out?
Oh wait, we can't, we're on different continents.
I just like talking about drag.
Drag is amazing and it's given me
every opportunity in my life.
- It's really so much fun because you're so hilarious.
Getting to talk with you about my favorite show
is a joy, and lovely.
And you can listen every Wednesday,
on Race Chaser, the podcast. - Ding!
- My least favorite part is technological,
like, instability and distance.
Like, I'm grateful that we're able to do it
like, you're in the UK
and I'm in California, and like, we're able to do it,
but there's no replacing being in person.
2022, we're going on tour and doing like,
Race Chaser live, like, in theaters with people.
Now there's really nothing like that.
- We had a pony last time.
Two ponies. And they had ponytails.
- Enough about your dates, my love.
- Shut up!
We arrived on the Oscar Meyer Wiener hot dog truck, too.
But enough about my date. - Yeah, enough about your date
(both laugh)
Had you not been eliminated on season four,
could you have won the crown?
No, because I literally did not have
the timeframe to stay for the full production schedule.
The producer that I was (beep)...
Hey, Steven! He hates me now.
He told me that they were going to make me top three
and I would have probably fallen into the Phi Phi role.
So, I would have been the (beep).
Which makes sense, because I'm funny (beep).
So, no, I don't think I would have won.
- [Alaska] Throughout all the Drag Race seasons,
which elimination was the worst choice Ru ever made?
- Yeah. when she fired Matthew,
I thought that was a bad choice. (laughs)
That was our makeup artist.
- I believe it was a mistake on the part of RuPaul,
and I don't think it's RuPaul personally,
I think it's like, there's a team of people
who are making the show happen,
but, I think it was a mistake to start allowing the Queens
in All Stars to have the power to send each other home,
whether it's by vote or just by choice.
Then, you end up with like, a final that isn't as like,
amazing as you want it. - Dynamic.
It's called getting Manila-ed
And I don't blame Naomi Smalls in that moment in any way,
because it makes sense,
and those are the rules of the game,
but, it also would have been really cool
to just see what would have happened.
- She was wearing my gold Dolce corset
when she sent Manila home.
- So it's your fault.
- Basically.
Is there a look from any of your seasons
that you really regret wearing?
No, I was only on eight episodes, like,
and this was 10 years ago.
- That question was easy for you because you looked flawless
in every single runway that,
and every moment that you were on Drag Race.
Some of us, some of us didn't have that journey.
All my clothes pretty much on season five,
there were a lot of issues.
There was something there, but like, God bless that child.
If there was ever an all-winners season
of All Stars, who would make it to the top three?
I think Raja's really amazing.
Bob would win, let's be realistic.
It would be like, Bob, and it would be like Raja,
and it would be like, Aquarium.
- [Willam] Is there a Queen that you think
should host a podcast who doesn't have one?
- Girl, we've given all the girls podcasts.
- Oo, you know what, Pabllo Vittar.
I would listen to him.
- Geo. GeoVanna. - For sure.
- Or how about Yara Sophia?
And the whole thing would just be
shake my titties, shake my titties,
shake, shake, shake my titties.
Is there a question about Drag Race
that you two are sick of answering?
- I never get sick of answering anything
because I've realized that like one day no one will care.
People ask me a lot about what I did on Drag Race
to get disqualified, and now I just pinned it
to the top of my Twitter.
(Alaska laughs)
It's like six pages on notes of everything
that I ever did (beep) 'em up.
But, I'm not tired of it,
I'm grateful that anyone cares.
- Yeah, same.
- [Willam] During your season of Drag Race,
did you steal anything from the workroom?
If you check out my pinned tweet on Twitter,
you'll see that I stole iron fist shoes,
some ostrich feather fans, staple guns,
lots and lots of things.
They made me put back the feather fans
cause they were ostrich and they were like,
we know some girls have things in their bags,
and I was like, oh, it's in the Dior,
you can grab it out of mine.
And I was like, I won't say who else has stuff,
but you know, I have most of it, I took it,
cause I was trying to get kicked off at that point.
That was episode, I think, four?
Whatever it was, iron fist shoes,
those ugly shoes that Ru tried to make us wear.
- Excuse me, I like the iron fist shoes,
and Sharon stole a whole bunch of pairs of them,
and we wore the (beep) out of them.
I kept some things.
I remember from All Stars, like,
we did that perplexing golfing challenge,
where we, like, using our hanging testicles
as the golfing mechanism?
It's very strange, but I kept the plaid golfer hat,
and I kept the Baby Jane Hudson wig.
- Telling Theron!
(Alaska laughs)
Which Drag Race Queen do you currently
have the biggest beef with?
- I don't at all. I really don't.
You have a personal vendetta against Serena Chacha
for some reason.
- It's not personal, it's professional.
I don't like girls that (beep) around
with other girls' wigs.
The biggest beef I have with a girl
is probably Courtney Act.
I chased her around with a big piece of beef.
You know how vegans always like to announce themselves?
She was like, "I'm vegan," so I was like,
let me chase you around with (beep) half a cow (beep).
- [Alaska] What's your current relationship like
with RuPaul? (Willam coughs and laughs)
- My current relationship with RuPaul is non-existent.
The last time I saw her, she told me to (beep) off,
and I said (beep) you, too (beep).
- I haven't spoken to him in years at this point,
but I have a feeling, if we ran into each other,
we would probably quote Golden Girls at each other,
and laugh, and have a good time.
- Hey, thank you BuzzFeed for buzzin' about us,
and our little podcast!
- It's called Race Chaser.
It's on the Forever Dog Network,
and we have a whole bunch of other podcasts
on the MOM Network,
featuring a bunch of our favorite Drag Queen friends.
We're currently doing an eight episode limited series,
called Pageant Pod, - Mhm.
and it's all about the history of drag pageant.
So, get into it.
(kisses)
