Gary Clement He's like the Mr. Rogers in some upside down, twisted and just COOLER world, lol! He wants everyone to be their sick, ugly, hot, annoying, stupid, genius and psychotic selves! And to LOVE IT 'cuz he's fully accepting and in awe of ALL OF IT! ;D
I think what's so great about this episode is that Rupaul and John Waters speak to each other as equals, unlike the other ones where the interviewee is in awe of Rupaul. It's a real conversation.
'I didn't get a good review for 10 years. And I made a career out of bad reviews.' Love it & I think this perfectly sums Waters up. Love these interviews!
I LOVE John Waters, met him at his book signing and almost died! What a sweet and wild man he really is, bless his soul. I love his humor,attitude,movies and crazy world
I used to manage a local music store here in Baltimore, and John Waters was a regular customer of ours. Such a down to earth, charming man. He absolutely detests when people make a fuss over him...but the more "unique" you were, the more likely you were to serve him.
Gawd, is Ru always this curious about others? I can't handle it at all. He always seems so invested in the wellbeing of others, it's pretty crazy. What a sincere, lovely person.
I want a 365-day desk calendar with John Waters quotes --- such incisive vision. Makes so much sense and so positive. Inspirational! Thank you, RuPaul, great interview!
Uncovering that also helped me to understand that shitting on the (harmless) interests of other people just made me a propagator of the hoax. You do you.
@@ollietaro From the time you're born they stick a label on you and expect you to conform to it and it's just a lot of bullshit. Nationality, religion, skin color, gender, sexual orientation. The hoax is it doesn't matter because we all end up dead in the ground in the end. So, you can go around worrying about a lot of useless labels, or you can live your life and read and think and have ideas and be yourself -- and, most importantly, have some fucking fun.
John Waters is in my top 5 of famous people that I would love to meet. I just love his outlook on life & the joy for life that he seems to have. He also has the BEST stories. I wish he was my weird uncle! Lol
John's book 'Role Models' is fabulous too. I have it on audiobook and If you enjoy authors reading their own work (and I do) listening to him read it on your ipod (or equivalent) is just divine. I can't wait until 'Carsick' comes out! P.S. Ru, I love your 'RuPaul Drives ...' series; what a great idea and the possibilities are endless.
I love John Waters! "Minorities that don't fit in with their minorities," I can identify with that when it comes to the gay community. I don't get along with my fellow lunatics LOL I don't want to be forced into being a certain way; I hold on tight to my identity. Nice to know that there's someone out there who understands!!! :)
Same here when it comes to Queer Music. I can't stand the mainstream stuff like Madonna and Elton John. Give me weird, creepy shit like Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Antoni Johnson, Death In June, etc.
"Gay is not enough..." Ohh My Goodness! When you knew it, but finally heard the words that express it! Lol, talk about an aha moment! ;D Love these guys!
How did I miss this for six years!?! Ugghh, John Waters is the best... and RuPaul's amazing laugh made me laugh even harder! This interview is *beyond* amazing. Feels more like a chat between old friends, really. Whenever I'm feeling bad (which is often these days: the world is an enormous pandemic-ridden dumpster fire, AND I live in the US) I'm gonna come back to this video so I can remind myself that there are still good things in this world 🖤🖤🖤
He is finally legendary and mainstream. Especially in Baltimore. Prominent figure for the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Enoch Pratt Library. A true local treasure. 👍👍☮️❤️😊
This was the BEST surprise to wake up to on my day off! Cuddled inside (it's pouring outside) with my coffee, my cats, Ru Paul and John Waters! Oh, yes!
I could SO relate to getting to the place where you understand and embrace being an odd duck minority within your own minority community. It's why I came to embrace calling myself a heretic. Not all heretics wind up visionaries but every visionary began as a heretic.
Love John and RuPaul. John is such a funny guy and fantastic director of humor. RuPaul makes it a world of wonder. RIP Divine, a person with great personality and humor.
Rue drops John off at World of Wonder where The infamous Masque punk club was in the basement, how awesome. John Waters is so much fun to listen to. He has the best stories. Rue is druving around in a classic red Volvo. I love and miss the original Volvo look. Great car to be driving in.😅
MAJOR3058 The reason why I said that is that it seems that Waters films just seem to get better and better starting with Pink Flamingos all the way up to Hairspray but then all of a sudden his films weren't anywhere near as good. The obvious change was the death of Divine. Yes, it could be said that neither Divine or Waters could have done it without the other. I guess in the end I agree with you.
What a cool interview!! Thank you so much for this! I have been a fan of both John Waters and RuPaul for many many years yet for some reason I have never seen this until now (06-16-2021)?! I absolutely loved it and have even more respect for them both!!
BEST RuPaul Drives yet!!!!! I love John Waters sense of humor, it's so quirky and offbeat. And RuPaul has the best laugh, I get so tickled when he starts laughing. ;)
I am so inlove with RuPaul's laugh. RuPaul and John Waters are two of the most amazing people ever, and Ru gives some of the greatest wisdom I've ever heard.

"Just because it's gay doesn't mean I have to like it" YES
"I watch the most obscure depressing French art films. I feel good anyway. I don't expect a movie to make me feel good." And that is a true film fan.
Same concept for music as well. I relate to that so hard.
And it relates to art as well
I don't relate at all, I'm the opposite hahaha
I could listen to John talk all day.
Me too, what a humble human being. Beautiful
Me too! 😂❤
John Waters is the most charming man in America.
Gary Clement He's like the Mr. Rogers in some upside down, twisted and just COOLER world, lol! He wants everyone to be their sick, ugly, hot, annoying, stupid, genius and psychotic selves! And to LOVE IT 'cuz he's fully accepting and in awe of ALL OF IT! ;D
+Snuffy Smith poor snuffy, you r ok now?
+Snuffy Smith haha, ok than, i was worried, can t have no sad snuffy!
And 4 years later...He is isn't he.
He really is, I could listen to him talk all day long 😂
I think what's so great about this episode is that Rupaul and John Waters speak to each other as equals, unlike the other ones where the interviewee is in awe of Rupaul. It's a real conversation.
'I didn't get a good review for 10 years. And I made a career out of bad reviews.' Love it & I think this perfectly sums Waters up. Love these interviews!
I completely mirrored Ru's laugh at the end when John said "Ike beats Tina to death." That. Was. Magical.
+asantesamuel13 *MAELCUM SOUL*
I could sit and listen to these two for HOURS
They need to have their own web series
@@sarahsargent9439 right
Imagine a podcast with these two?? 🤯
Love John Waters' comment at 7:35 "I may be queer, but I'm mentally ill"
My favorite John Waters film is Pink Flamingos, Its a fantastic family film.
"Not on Christmas! Not on Christmas!"
LMFAO!!! WHAT A SPECTACULAR XMAS TRADITION.
I said I wanted Cha Cha heels!! Black ones!!
souperman72 😎😎😎😍
Perfect for the holidays 😂❤

I agree. Put him on my list of fantasy invitees to an ultimate dinner party.
That's why he's so beloved!
It feels genuine too
John's humor and RuPaul's laugh are so contagious 💙
I love RuPaul he’s really sincere and slightly goofy laugh makes him sound like that. Yes, I love them.
I met John at a roof party in china town , NYC. He was hilarious. I was so star stucked. I couldnt even say I'm a fan. I was too scared to geek out 🤣
John Waters is such a sweetheart, he reminds me of my dear departed dad so much.
this conversation is 100%
Best. Episode. Ever.
Wow, two legendary Queens in one car!
That was a great old Volvo they were driving in. They don't make like that anymore. What a great car.
This is 15 minutes of solid gold! I could watch these two chat forever. What a pairing! Their chemsitry is perfect.
These two are adorable together. ♥️
i love rupaul's laugh, it's so lovely and infectious.
THIS IS TOTAL FUCKING GENIUS!
I TOOK NOTES!
So did I
Fuck you
MrMerceratus
try a little harder next time troll
I intend to watch this SEVERAL times!
I want a 365-day desk calendar with John Waters quotes --- such incisive vision. Makes so much sense and so positive. Inspirational! Thank you, RuPaul, great interview!
Love him so much...his humor got me through some pretty dark times in my life. I hope he really does show up on Drag Race someday!
I love John Waters and Ru so much. I want them both to adopt me!
lol
hello there... ; )
How are you? Will add on Twitter.
Tracy.3 Oh wow, Can you even imagine being feared by these two? You’d be the most wise and hilarious of the next generation.
"People who have uncovered life's twisted hoax find refuge in the irreverent, twisted, and weird." Can I get an Amen? That's my shit.
Amen
What is life's twisted hoax? I'm still trying to uncover it
Uncovering that also helped me to understand that shitting on the (harmless) interests of other people just made me a propagator of the hoax. You do you.
@@ollietaro From the time you're born they stick a label on you and expect you to conform to it and it's just a lot of bullshit. Nationality, religion, skin color, gender, sexual orientation.

Two icons!!!
Why has it taken me almost 10 years to see this? What a great combo these two are.
OMG! love john's quote: "I might be queer, but I'm not this! (I can totally relate)
Two pop culture geniuses collide ...oozing awesomeness and star power
John Waters is in my top 5 of famous people that I would love to meet. I just love his outlook on life & the joy for life that he seems to have. He also has the BEST stories. I wish he was my weird uncle! Lol
Ru has the best laugh.
JOHN WATERS I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH!!!
Ru Paul's charisma and charm so genuine and contagious. I've been a fan of Ru Paul since the 90's.
I've seen every John Waters film a thousand times and that's no exaggeration. My avatar may give that away.
I LOVE Divi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish there was a compilation of his early short films
Thank you for this! Love John Waters and RuPaul was so great with him ! Legends!
Look we got another star points to Brad Hammer sneaking in the comment section here
yup!
John's book 'Role Models' is fabulous too. I have it on audiobook and If you enjoy authors reading their own work (and I do) listening to him read it on your ipod (or equivalent) is just divine. I can't wait until 'Carsick' comes out! P.S. Ru, I love your 'RuPaul Drives ...' series; what a great idea and the possibilities are endless.
John Waters as guest judge in Season 7! Make it happen!
Well guess what Mimi? IT DID.
Is there more content of these two together ANYWHERE? They were on fire!
These two are brilliant. True American icons.
This was a great interview.
It's rather historic in a way.
Two icons in the same car talking about nothing. I adore them both
Absolutely love these two legends together.
John Waters: The deviant/subversive uncle I never had (but always wanted). Most may seem him as tasteless or tacky, I think he's ahead of the curve.
there is such a thing as someone so tasteful it might seem tasteless.
FANTASTIC! John Waters was a greater rider! Loved that the interview was long and we got to hear the wisdom of John Waters.
Could watch this over and over...
"Ike Beats Tina To Death". Oh my God.
two of my favorite people talking to each other for 10 minutes .
I love John Waters! "Minorities that don't fit in with their minorities," I can identify with that when it comes to the gay community. I don't get along with my fellow lunatics LOL I don't want to be forced into being a certain way; I hold on tight to my identity. Nice to know that there's someone out there who understands!!! :)

Two living legends!! Amazing video!
Rupaul, I loved AJ and the Queen!! Your acting is super natural*🌹
These are such candid interviews, LOVE IT!!
The talk about being in on the fakery-very meta. The outside of the car is a classic Volvo sedan. The inside is some nameless, modern SUV.
im so gay that i didn’t notice that detail lol
That exit line was amazing!
"Gay is not enough..." Ohh My Goodness! When you knew it, but finally heard the words that express it! Lol, talk about an aha moment! ;D Love these guys!
God Ru listens and interacts SO intensely! I wish I had the patience. John is so interesting though, it'd be hard not to!
I'm just in love with Ru's wee laugh.
I just cried...I love this man so much lol.
How did I miss this for six years!?!
Ugghh, John Waters is the best... and RuPaul's amazing laugh made me laugh even harder! This interview is *beyond* amazing. Feels more like a chat between old friends, really.

John Waters is an adorable person. I love him.
That's the greatest headline I've ever heard. I'm so glad John Waters exists to inform us of things like this.
John Waters is such a legend! What a treat. Thanks. I got here from the movie "Maurice", also a treat.
Love Ru's laugh 8:24 "Ike Beats Tina to Death"... LUV IT!!!
This was my favorite episode so far!! Their chemistry is unbelievable!
Ru is a great driver!
+chestnut638 lol.. then you dont know what good driver is
Plot twist he isn’t gay. Hints the saying “ gays can’t drive” 😳
I live in Baltimore :) this man is legend
+Shane McFamous How famous is John in Baltimore? You see him often?
He is a Baltimore hero, like Johnny Unitas, Fort McHenry and Francis Scott Key and the National Anthem, and John Hopkins university and hospital
He is finally legendary and mainstream. Especially in Baltimore. Prominent figure for the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Enoch Pratt Library. A true local treasure. 👍👍☮️❤️😊
The "Outsiders" are NOW the "INSIDERS". LOVE IT!
Love them both! Ru's laugh is the greatest!
What I wouldn't give to meet John Waters! He's amazing!! Love his movies!
I absolutely love this man! He's just always a joy to listen to and very original.
Driving Miss Daisey !!! Love, Polyester S.F.
John Waters 2016!!!!
this is absolutely perfect. best one yet!
This was the BEST surprise to wake up to on my day off! Cuddled inside (it's pouring outside) with my coffee, my cats, Ru Paul and John Waters! Oh, yes!
This was the day Ru leant the word 'irreverent', and she is gonna use it at every possible God given moment.
I could SO relate to getting to the place where you understand and embrace being an odd duck minority within your own minority community. It's why I came to embrace calling myself a heretic. Not all heretics wind up visionaries but every visionary began as a heretic.
Me too. I don't want fit into someone's cookie cutter mold. I want to be weird and beautiful
OMG!!! That NY Post headline he quotes is one that I always talk about! It was one of the sickest headlines ever, LOLOL. Glad John thought so as well.
LEGENDARY!
LEGENDARY! That was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!👏👏👏
I mean usually it is one or the other person but to have both people talking be so smart and fabulous! Couldn't catch my breath through the laughter
"Everybody wants to be an outsider, and in a way we are." That's an understatement!
I'm living for this interview.
Love John and RuPaul. John is such a funny guy and fantastic director of humor. RuPaul makes it a world of wonder. RIP Divine, a person with great personality and humor.
I love Serial Mom!!! This is a fantastic conversation with great advice and insight
Rue drops John off at World of Wonder where The infamous Masque punk club was in the basement, how awesome. John Waters is so much fun to listen to. He has the best stories. Rue is druving around in a classic red Volvo. I love and miss the original Volvo look. Great car to be driving in.😅
I would to have drinks with him. He has some of the most amazing story.
These two visionaries are such amazing role models.
love love love love john waters!!!!!!
I did not appreciate how talented Divine was until he died and I saw the gaping hole in John Water's films.
That part of Pink Flamingos affected us all deeply.
***** True, I still can't believe the Academy gave Brando the Oscar that year.
Mr. Waters would appreciate it if you didn't talk about his gaping hole.
MAJOR3058 The reason why I said that is that it seems that Waters films just seem to get better and better starting with Pink Flamingos all the way up to Hairspray but then all of a sudden his films weren't anywhere near as good.

Best Rupaul Drives yet! Freaking hysterical. John Waters still rules!

Rupaul just seems so genuine and so smart.
2 of my favourites people in the world ! YES !!!!!
OMFG JOHN WATERS!!! My favorite Director of all time! He's such an icon. I would love to meet him someday.
And that’s the ultimate revenge, somehow the outsiders became the insiders. Love you John, young folk need to see your version of hairspray ❤
I am so inlove with RuPaul's laugh. RuPaul and John Waters are two of the most amazing people ever, and Ru gives some of the greatest wisdom I've ever heard.
oh my god... john waters and rupaul!
This is Divines good friend ( RIP ) and john waters knew my other favorite preformer besides Ru, DIVINE AND RU!!!
Mama ru's laugh. ...ctfu....I love it
