The Queen of Drag discusses his new memoir, The House of Hidden Meanings, and makes Dan play an R-rated game.


RuPaul Charles became famous in 1993 with the song "Supermodel." Since then, he's put out 18 albums, he's been in more than 50 films and TV shows, including his global hit, "RuPaul's Drag Race." He's put out four books, including his latest, the number one New York Times best seller The House of Hidden Meanings. He's won fourteen Primetime Emmy Awards, and he won a Tony in 2022 for producing the Broadway show A Strange Loop.



In this episode we talk about:

  • His daily spiritual practices
  • Talking to his inner child
  • The challenging family he grew up in
  • His incredible business idea for a daytime disco for the over-40 set
  • His definition of wealth, and why he says he's always been rich, even when he had no money
  • And he ropes Dan into a game of Dirty Charades – which gets a little spicy, so heads-up if you're listening with kids around or have sensitive ears
