00:00Surprise everybody and welcome to a new episode of Surprise Guest with Tia Arkangel where each and every conversation and I mean absolutely each and every conversation is one big surprise because we have no idea who the guest will be for each episode so we don't know what twists and turns our conversations will take which makes me very excited for today's episode.
00:26So let's guess together who our surprise guest for today is.
00:30First clue, when she was just 13 years old, she was introduced to her performance in a noontime show.
00:39It's a real-time, big-time. Ah okay, is she a contestant there?
00:43She's a drag artist and was named Asia's Drag Singing Superstar.
00:49I know a lot of drag artists but I don't know who the Drag Singing Superstar is.
00:55She participated in Queen of the Universe, an international drag singing competition.
01:01And the winner of the third and most recent season of Drag Race Philippines, none other than Maxie Andreson. Hi Maxie, how are you?
01:11Hello!
01:13How are you?
01:15Magandang hapon!
01:17Magandang hapon, it's nice to meet you. How are you? Fresh off your win? You're really fresh.
01:23Yes, I'm really fresh. I'm good. Thank you for asking. I'm in the middle of the photoshoot but of course, Ms. Pia, let's give time to her because she's Ms. Pia.
01:35Thank you! You know, my son and I are fans of Drag Race PH and we watched season 2 halfway through.
01:44This season 3, we're catching up. Oh no, I have a spoiler.
01:49That's why I didn't guess right away.
01:54But Maxie, how would you describe your experience in Drag Race PH?
01:59It was so overwhelming and so unpredictable. Everything that happened was just go with the flow. I never anticipated anything.
02:09Because I really wanted to enjoy, embody, and treasure every moment.
02:15And yes, my plan worked!
02:20It worked!
02:22Yes, promise, Ms. Pia.
02:24When you entered the season, did you already know who your opponents were? Or were the contestants really a surprise?
02:32It was a real surprise because we were blindfolded in the hotel.
02:37So we didn't know who our opponents were.
02:42We knew the drag artists. Of course, our world is small, but we didn't know the contestants of Drag Race PH.
02:49So it was really a surprise to see that our reactions were so genuine.
02:55Because that's the only time we'll see each other.
02:58Oh, you're a contestant! And all those scenes.
03:00You're not allowed to tell your friends before you enter?
03:03Yes, because we have papers.
03:07Oh, non-disclosure?
03:09Correct, Ms. Pia.
03:12So who surprised you the most when you saw them on the show?
03:16The one who surprised me the most was not my sisters.
03:20I was surprised by the provincial queens, the regional queens.
03:23Because I don't see them often here in Manila.
03:26So I was surprised that the regional queens are really good.
03:29Actually, Ed, this is where I get confused.
03:31When you say sisters, does it mean that you perform together in the same venue?
03:36Yes, for example, in O-Bar.
03:38My sister in O-Bar is Benj, Angel, and many more.
03:43But Angel, to clarify, Angel is my real-life sister.
03:49Huh?
03:50Yes, we're really siblings.
03:52I'm the eldest, and Angel is the one who follows me.
03:54Oh, wow. And who knows that you're together?
03:57We know, but...
03:59Oh, okay.
04:00Of course, we prepared together for the competition.
04:03Oh, wow. That's great.
04:06So what was your family's reaction when they found out that you're both competing in the same season of Drag Race?
04:13They were really happy, especially my father.
04:15Because after my fight with the Queen of the Universe, I wasn't allowed to win.
04:19He gave me an opportunity to show what I've started,
04:25the opportunity to finish a fight.
04:28My parents were really happy.
04:29Especially my father, he was really happy.
04:32I can't explain how happy he was.
04:34He was really happy.
04:36He was smiling all night.
04:39That's so cute.
04:40Are you two the only siblings?
04:42We're six siblings.
04:44How many siblings do you have?
04:46I'm the eldest.
04:47I'm the eldest of the six siblings.
04:50Then there's Angel, Angelo, Alea, JPN, and Otong.
04:56There are six of us.
04:57Angel, who was the first one to tell your parents or your family that you're out?
05:02Angel and I, we didn't tell our parents.
05:06Because they already felt that our gender and our sexual identity is like that.
05:12What's good about my parents is that they have gay siblings.
05:16So it's not new for them to deal with.
05:19It's not a big deal for them if they have a child like this.
05:25Because they know that as long as you're a good kid,
05:29as long as you're a good son,
05:31they don't care if you're gay.
05:33They'll support you.
05:35Yes, that's how open my parents are to me.
05:37And my relationship with them is very open.
05:39Oh, that's nice.
05:40Very inspiring.
05:41Especially for those who are having a hard time getting out to their parents
05:46or to their other family members or very close friends.
05:49But does this mean, Maxie, that at a very young age,
05:51you already know your sexual identity or gender identity?
05:55Yes.
05:56When I was a kid, I already knew what I wanted, what I liked.
06:00My trips were really for girls.
06:03I was really wearing panties.
06:05My panties, my fantasy was bra.
06:08That's how it was.
06:09But when my father caught me doing that,
06:11it wasn't a big deal for him.
06:13He just let us be.
06:14He told us,
06:15wherever we're happy, we're there.
06:17As long as we don't do anything bad.
06:19So, you and Angel,
06:20did you know each other at the same time?
06:24We went to dance contests together.
06:27We were gay friends.
06:28Angel and I were best friends when we were kids.
06:31The two of us would steal Barbies.
06:33The cutest thing that happened to us was,
06:35we went to a mall,
06:36and Angel and I were playing with Barbies.
06:39Then my father bought it for us.
06:42Oh, really?
06:45That's so cute.
06:47Did you share it with your Barbie?
06:49We were the only ones with Barbies.
06:52Angel and I would play with Barbies at home.
06:55Then at home, we'd steal Barbies.
06:57Yes.
06:58Angel and I were super close,
07:00and super open to each other.
07:02Yes, I'm glad that your father is very supportive.
07:06Where did you grow up?
07:08In Manila?
07:09In Manila.
07:10Oh, here in Manila.
07:11So, you were city-raised, city-born.
07:15Yes, yes.
07:16Yes, correct.
07:17Do you still hang out at home?
07:19We're still separated, in fairness.
07:22Is there competition on any level between the two of you?
07:26Our goal in Drag Race is to show sisterhood.
07:31We don't have a twin yet.
07:33Well, we do have a twin,
07:35but we don't have a sister yet.
07:37So, we want to show the world
07:39that we're not competing with each other
07:41because we're helping each other.
07:43What a beautiful message.
07:45You mentioned being a brother,
07:47and you said you have six siblings.
07:49How old are your children?
07:51They're still young, so they're still studying.
07:54Is there an added responsibility
07:56in being a brother?
07:58Do you help out at home,
07:59in teaching,
08:00in encouraging your siblings?
08:02Yes.
08:03I'm a hands-on person.
08:05When it comes to my family,
08:07I'm very soft when it comes to my family.
08:10I can sacrifice for them.
08:12That's the level.
08:13So, you're the one who runs the family?
08:17Yes.
08:18My father sometimes argues with me.
08:22Who does he argue with?
08:24My siblings.
08:25Your siblings.
08:26You talk to them.
08:29And all of you are still together at home?
08:32Yes.
08:33That's what my father wants.
08:34That's so happy.
08:35I'm so happy.
08:36That's why I don't leave my father.
08:38That's what he wants
08:41when he grows up.
08:42He wants us to grow up together.
08:45As long as we can,
08:47we're always together.
08:50We live in the same house.
08:52There's no exception.
08:53There's no exception.
08:54There's no other way.
08:55So, do you have your own house?
08:58Do you have your own house?
08:59It's so chaotic in our house.
09:01Imagine, there are three of us in the house.
09:03Just the three of us.
09:04We're noisy.
09:05Wait, there are three of you.
09:08You said you're the only one.
09:10Angel is the only one.
09:12Miss Pia is the only one.
09:14She's also out and about.
09:17Does she want to do drag eventually?
09:19She's already doing a show.
09:21Miss Pia is already doing a show.
09:23Is she doing a contest?
09:24Not yet.
09:25But she'll come.
09:26But now, she's doing a show.
09:28She's watching Drag Race.
09:29She's watching content.
09:31She's lucky that she has free advice
09:33from you and Angie, right?
09:36She's so lucky because
09:37we're all accessible now.
09:39Back then, it was hard.
09:41It was hard for us back then.
09:42Now, she's there.
09:43All the equipment is there.
09:44It's just hard for her.
09:48So, do you have your own house?
09:51Like, you're in charge of the kitchen.
09:53You're in charge of...
09:54Yes.
09:55Like that.
09:56You clean the house on Tuesdays.
09:58I do it on Wednesdays.
10:01I buy dinner.
10:03Of course, I don't do the dishes.
10:06You buy it.
10:07You're older than me.
10:08You're older than me.
10:09So, you're the eldest.
10:10So, it's just fair.
10:14But for you and Angel,
10:15who was the first one to do drag?
10:17Me.
10:18I was the first one to be open
10:20in this industry.
10:22Because I was 11 years old
10:24when I discovered that
10:26there really is an industry like that.
10:29I was 11 years old
10:30when I first tried to be a drag.
10:32That time,
10:33I told myself that
10:34this is what I really want.
10:36This is what will give me justice.
10:39Because my dream since I was young
10:41was to be Donna Summers,
10:43to be Beyonce,
10:44to be Mariah Carey,
10:46to be a diva.
10:47But I thought it was impossible
10:48because I'm a guy.
10:50But drag opened up to me
10:52that nothing is impossible.
10:54Wow.
10:55I know, right?
10:56Do you still remember
10:57your first drag appearance?
11:00You said you were at a very young age.
11:02Do you remember your clothes?
11:03Your makeup?
11:04Yes.
11:05Yes, because
11:06how can I not remember Miss Pia?
11:08She's always a category
11:09in the competitions
11:10that I join.
11:12In Queen of the Universe,
11:13the first thing I wear
11:15is what I will elevate.
11:16So I have a look.
11:17Describe to us your look.
11:19It was a very shiny,
11:21shimmering,
11:22splendid gown
11:24that was yellow, blue,
11:26silver, and green.
11:27It's like a Philippines flag
11:29inspired.
11:30And I was wearing curly,
11:32big hair.
11:34And a super dark eyeshadow.
11:36Who did your makeup?
11:38Was it you?
11:39No, the one who did my makeup
11:41was my uncle's friend.
11:43My friend,
11:44she's a transgender.
11:45I also have a sister
11:47who's a drag queen.
11:49So she's the one
11:51who taught and inspired us
11:53about drag.
11:55Is she also your biological relative?
11:58Yes.
11:59She's my dad's sister.
12:01Ah, okay.
12:02So she's your advisor
12:04slash mentor
12:06when it comes to drag.
12:08Yes, teacher
12:10slash speaker.
12:14Yes, all around.
12:16Did you convince your sister
12:18to join drag
12:20or did she see you
12:22and wanted to join drag?
12:24It's because of Angel.
12:25Whatever trip I have in life,
12:26it's also her trip.
12:28That was
12:302018
12:32when I was working
12:34at O-Bar.
12:36She wanted to watch drag.
12:38So I brought her.
12:40And the owner of O-Bar saw her.
12:42So she auditioned.
12:44And when she auditioned,
12:45she passed.
12:47So she joined drag.
12:49That's amazing.
12:50So would you say
12:51that Angel's bonding
12:53deepened
12:55when you both joined Drag Race?
12:57Yes, yes.
12:59When we first joined O-Bar,
13:01our relationship
13:03deepened.
13:05We got to know
13:07each other better.
13:09We got closer.
13:11We became best friends.
13:13We got to talk more about life
13:15and reality.
13:17That's why our relationship
13:19deepened.
13:20That's where we matured.
13:22That's great.
13:23So you both joined Drag Race.
13:26You're both partners in drag.
13:29What are the qualities
13:31of a drag artist
13:33that you need?
13:34Of course, you don't just know
13:36how to do makeup,
13:37how to dress,
13:38how to fix your hair.
13:39Your acts,
13:41you're the one who writes them.
13:43And you're the one who performs them.
13:45What I've learned
13:47as a performer,
13:48because I've been performing
13:50on stage since I was young,
13:52what I've learned is
13:54you need to capture their heart.
13:56Even if you're laughing,
13:58even if you're scared,
14:00even if you're crying,
14:02you need to capture
14:04their hearts.
14:05Because that's what's important.
14:07If you capture their hearts,
14:09they'll be happy.
14:10So you need to know your audience,
14:12right?
14:13Yes, know your audience
14:14and capture their heart.
14:16Like that.
14:17Wow.
14:18Do you still get nervous
14:19when you perform?
14:20Of course.
14:21Especially in competitions,
14:23drag races.
14:24I know I don't get nervous,
14:26but I do get nervous.
14:27Even now, when I perform
14:29in my regular gigs,
14:30I get nervous because
14:31I don't want to disappoint
14:32my viewers.
14:33I don't want to disappoint
14:34my fans,
14:35my audience.
14:36Of course,
14:37they paid for the tickets.
14:39Right?
14:40That's what's important
14:41to me.
14:42They paid for the tickets.
14:44It should be worth it,
14:45the tickets they pay for.
14:47That's why I get nervous.
14:48Because later,
14:49I might not be able
14:50to give them the satisfaction.
14:52Of course,
14:53your fan base is growing.
14:55More people are watching,
14:56more people are buying tickets.
14:58Is there pressure?
14:59Is there additional pressure?
15:00Now,
15:01I enjoy it more
15:03because the fans are
15:04super lovable,
15:06super approachable,
15:07and super open to me
15:09to give messages.
15:10So,
15:11instead of being pressured,
15:12I'm more motivated
15:14to give my best.
15:16Okay.
15:17I want to give my best,
15:19my best.
15:20No pressure.
15:21That's a good approach.
15:22What's your full name
15:24when you were born?
15:25J-Bot Andreson Gallard.
15:29I thought
15:30that's just your nickname.
15:31No,
15:32it's true.
15:33That's my real name, Ms. Pia.
15:34J-A-Y,
15:35is that right?
15:36Yes.
15:37Victory H-O-T
15:38J-Bot.
15:39That's how it's spelled.
15:41Yes,
15:42where did the J-Bot name come from?
15:43My father,
15:44because my father
15:45has a Bubot nickname
15:47and he's a junior.
15:48So,
15:49I mixed it up.
15:50J-Bot.
15:51J-Bot,
15:52right?
15:54How cute!
15:55So,
15:56when you were a kid,
15:57you were called J-Bot?
15:58Yes,
15:59J-Bot.
16:00J-Bot!
16:01Okay.
16:02Tell us,
16:03Maxie,
16:04how did Maxie Andreson
16:06become your drag persona?
16:08Where did it come from?
16:19being my favorite
16:20and most award-winning
16:21journalist,
16:22Howie Severino.
16:23The Howie Severino Podcast
16:25was hailed as one of
16:26Spotify's best new podcasts
16:29and has consistently been
16:31one of the top
16:32Philippine podcasts
16:34since its launch.
16:35The Howie Severino Podcast
16:37new episodes streams
16:39every Thursday
16:41on major streaming platforms.
16:44Tell us,
16:45Maxie,
16:46how did Maxie Andreson
16:47become your drag persona?
16:49Where did it come from?
16:51I was the one
16:52who created Maxie
16:54in Maxie the Musical Play
16:56at PETA Theater Center.
16:58I was the lead actor there.
17:00Oh!
17:01I was 13 years old
17:02when I was hired to play
17:04in Maxie's lead role.
17:06That's why I chose Maxie
17:08because I wanted to be
17:09in the lead role.
17:10So,
17:11that's why I chose Maxie
17:13because I wanted to sustain
17:15the learnings
17:16and what I learned there
17:18during that musical
17:19because as a performer,
17:20that's where I really matured
17:22and became more open
17:23in everything.
17:24Wait, you're
17:25Maxie Oliveros?
17:26Is that her?
17:27Yes, ma'am.
17:28It's me.
17:29OMG!
17:33That's so funny.
17:35That's so funny.
17:37Okay, so it's like
17:38to give tribute
17:39to the character.
17:40Yes.
17:41And I really love
17:42my character there.
17:43It's like,
17:44the story is also beautiful.
17:46Even the title,
17:47it's like,
17:48to give tribute
17:49to Maxie Oliveros.
17:50Right?
17:51Yes.
17:52Right?
17:53There's a story.
17:54So, I wanted her
17:55to reach the end
17:57because I really treasured
17:59my moment there
18:00and that was so memorable
18:02for me.
18:03So, she should reach the end.
18:05OMG!
18:06I didn't connect
18:07the dots right away.
18:11That's the story.
18:13That's so cute.
18:15So, what's the difference
18:17between J-Bot
18:19and Maxie now?
18:20Now,
18:21there's not much
18:22difference
18:23because she's so close.
18:24I was able to show
18:25to the world
18:26what J-Bot
18:27and Maxie really are.
18:28Especially,
18:29when I joined Drag Race,
18:30they saw
18:31my brotherhood
18:32with my family,
18:33my family-oriented
18:34and my dedication.
18:36So,
18:37there's not much
18:38difference between them.
18:39Now,
18:40she's just a name.
18:41She's really
18:42connected to me.
18:43Whether it's J-Bot
18:44or Maxie,
18:45she's really
18:46connected to me.
18:47So, Maxie,
18:48you brought
18:49Maxie Andreson
18:50to the international stage.
18:52Actually,
18:53she's the first
18:54in the international stage
18:55when you joined Drag Race PH.
18:56Yes.
18:57Here in Drag Race PH,
18:58I can imagine
18:59her experience.
19:00First of all,
19:01she's special
19:02because she's with
19:03your brother.
19:04And then,
19:05of course,
19:06the icons
19:07and idol judges
19:09I remember
19:10Jolina Magdangal.
19:11She's there, right?
19:12I mean,
19:13Miss Sharon Coneta.
19:14Oh, my God.
19:15Shall we?
19:16That's why.
19:17So,
19:18how did you do it?
19:20Wait, wait.
19:21I'll remove
19:22my starstruck
19:23before I perform.
19:24My technique
19:25for that is
19:26before I
19:27joined the stage,
19:28I was thinking
19:29about my anger.
19:30I was thinking
19:31about my anger
19:32in the world.
19:33As in,
19:34I was thinking
19:35about my anger
19:36in the world.
19:37As in,
19:38I was thinking
19:39about my anger
19:40in the world.
19:41As in,
19:42I want my bashers
19:43to be homophobic.
19:44I was thinking about them
19:45because they need
19:46to see my fierce face.
19:47So,
19:48when I was thinking
19:49about them,
19:50my anger
19:51and my face
19:52seemed to be
19:53more fierce.
19:54So,
19:55I really set them aside.
19:56Miss Shawi,
19:57Angeline.
19:58Oh, my God.
19:59Focus, girl.
20:00You need to be angry.
20:01Like that.
20:02It's not easy
20:03to hide your nervousness.
20:04It's not easy
20:05to hide it.
20:06So,
20:07internalize.
20:08Yes.
20:09Before stepping out
20:10on stage,
20:11internalize.
20:12Is there something
20:13in your mind
20:14that you're angry about?
20:15When I was young,
20:16I was bullied.
20:17Now,
20:18look at me.
20:19I'm so beautiful
20:20now.
20:21Like that.
20:22Like that.
20:23That's the best revenge.
20:24I'm so beautiful now.
20:25Yes.
20:26You're homophobic.
20:27You don't like gays.
20:28You don't like this.
20:29You're beautiful.
20:30Like that.
20:31But,
20:32when you were young,
20:33you're very lucky
20:34that you had the support
20:35that did not spare you
20:36from bashers outside.
20:37Yes.
20:38I wasn't always
20:39with my parents,
20:40especially on the streets.
20:41When I was young,
20:42I was on the streets.
20:43So,
20:44of course,
20:45we can't avoid
20:46people who
20:47are mean,
20:48people who
20:49trip.
20:50That's when I learned
20:51and learned
20:52that as a gay,
20:53you need to be brave.
20:54You need to be
20:55strong
20:56or confident
20:57to fight
20:58these people
20:59because
21:00I also experienced
21:01that I was alone.
21:02But,
21:03I stood up
21:04for myself
21:05and fought
21:06those people.
21:07The street
21:08made me realize
21:09that the street
21:10taught me
21:11the real life.
21:12Is there a point,
21:13Maxie,
21:14that there's
21:15a literal fear
21:16of physical harm
21:17or physical danger
21:18that you might get hurt?
21:19There's a lot.
21:20There's a lot.
21:21As in,
21:22before,
21:23we were thrown away
21:24by garbage.
21:25We were poured
21:26with urine
21:27because we're gays.
21:28We're a group
21:29of gays.
21:30So,
21:31we'll go to the street
21:32and we'll throw away
21:33all the men
21:34and then
21:35they'll beat us
21:36because we're gays.
21:37But,
21:38I learned
21:39that we're not
21:40just gays.
21:41We're maton gays.
21:42So,
21:43we fight.
21:44We really fight.
21:45Yes.
21:46Do you complain
21:47to your father?
21:48No.
21:49I don't complain
21:50to my parents.
21:51I complain to my friends.
21:52Because they're
21:53being respected.
21:54They're being respected.
21:55I need respect.
21:56I need a strong respect.
21:57We,
21:58gays,
21:59really fight there.
22:00We fight.
22:01We riot.
22:02Because
22:03those things
22:04need to be taught.
22:05They need
22:06to realize
22:07and they need
22:08to experience
22:09what they're
22:10making us experience.
22:11When it comes to
22:12drag race,
22:13do they call you
22:14or do they call you
22:15or did you say
22:16you're the gangsta
22:17of Manila?
22:18The gangsta of Manila.
22:19They call me
22:20the brother of the family.
22:21Yes.
22:22I wrote that
22:23in my lyrics.
22:24Ah, okay.
22:25So,
22:26that line
22:27came from you.
22:28Yes,
22:29I wrote it.
22:30I wrote it.
22:32Now,
22:33it's like
22:34it really
22:35hit you,
22:36right?
22:37Correct.
22:38When I wrote it,
22:39I'm from Manila.
22:40Then,
22:41I'm a bit
22:42stubborn
22:43in my place.
22:44But because
22:45my definition
22:46of a gangster
22:47is like
22:48brave.
22:49I don't
22:50teach anyone
22:51how to fight.
22:52That's my definition.
22:53That's why
22:54I wrote it
22:55for me.
22:56So,
22:57the type that
22:58you can't
22:59just
23:00hide
23:01your feelings.
23:02Yes.
23:03How do you maintain
23:04your role model?
23:05Because of course,
23:06you're part of
23:07being the leader.
23:08Yes.
23:09For me,
23:10I only become true
23:11when I become
23:12vocal
23:13in what I feel.
23:14As long as
23:15you're true,
23:16you'll be taught
23:17by other people.
23:18I don't hide
23:19my feelings.
23:20When I'm angry,
23:21I have to
23:22tell them.
23:23Because
23:24how can they
23:25learn
23:26if it depends
23:27on them
23:28how to hide
23:29their feelings.
23:30Of course,
23:31as a brother,
23:32I have to be
23:33strict to my
23:34siblings.
23:35I have to be
23:36very supportive
23:37and loving.
23:38What my parents
23:39taught me,
23:40that's what I
23:41teach my siblings.
23:42Actually,
23:43what I want to
23:44mention is
23:45you have to
23:46pay it forward
23:47because your parents
23:48are very supportive
23:49of you.
23:50My siblings
23:51have to see
23:52that I'm not
23:53just
23:54the one
23:55who becomes
23:56more vocal
23:57than
23:58my siblings.

36:02So, how long did it take for you to do your hair and make-up?
36:04At that time, you have to know your look. You have to know yourself well.
36:09Because you're the only one fighting there.
36:11What's your average? How many minutes? How many hours?
36:15Now, ma'am, if it's easy, one hour.
36:19That's easy.
36:20One hour is easy. If not, three hours.
36:23So, for example, the finals of Drag Race PH, was it just you?
36:28Yes, for the finale, we had four looks.
36:30Oh, that's just 13 minutes. You should be complete already.
36:33We only had a very limited time to get ready.
36:36So, you're the one getting ready, and then you're still thinking about what you're going to perform, right?
36:41Yes, you're still visualizing it, you're still conceptualizing it.
36:44Shucks!
36:45You're still brainstorming yourself.
36:49Then you're pep-talking yourself while you're doing make-up and dressing up.
36:53What's the hardest part for you when it comes to make-up?
36:57The eyeshadow. That's the most important part.
37:01When you're performing, that's where you'll be able to talk to them.
37:04So, the eyeshadow is the hardest part for me.
37:07Because the hair, you're just going to pluck it.
37:10It's just a hair wig. You're just going to pluck it. It's already fixed.
37:13You don't need it. It's perfect.
37:16Intense!
37:19Now, who's the most supportive person to you?
37:22My parents. Of course, my parents are super supportive.
37:26No doubt.
37:27Second, who's the runner-up?
37:29Angel! My God, no matter what I say, she's always supportive.
37:35Okay, let's talk about Angel. Is there anyone special to you?
37:40I have fans.
37:42My fans feed me my delulu.
37:49They're really supportive.
37:52Go ahead and continue that.
37:56How about the most expensive thing that you can buy using what you won in the drag race?
38:03House and lot for my family.
38:06That's so fancy!
38:08That's the most expensive thing I can spend for my family. House and lot.
38:12Wow, that's so fun. That's why you can't skip it, right?
38:16Yes, you can't skip it. You have to keep going.
38:20How about the most ultimate dream of Maxie?
38:24The most ultimate dream is to sustain what I am today.
38:28I love it. For as long as you can, right?
38:31You can't lose it.
38:33Correct.
38:35Because you still have a lot of advocacies to pursue.
38:39Yes, I really want a lot of advocacies. Available.
38:44Buy one, take one.
38:45Yes.
38:47And it's so nice to see, Maxie, that you're really thinking about how you're going to use your platform.
38:51It's not just for having a lot of followers.
38:57It should make sense. I want to have a destination.
39:00I want my voice now, as long as I still have a voice and I still have corona, I will really use it well.
39:08Because this is really my intention.
39:11Maxie, at the start of your reign, we wish you the best of luck.
39:15You have a lot to do and will continue to do.
39:18Thank you so much, Maxie, for spending time with us.
