On episode three of Gay Card Revoked, Rob and Robbie jump into a time machine and go back to the OG female actor, the artist who paved the way for Lady Bunny, RuPaul, Lypsinka, Dame Edna, Charles Busch, and more! It is the bitchy, hysterical, brilliant Charles Pierce Joining them is Richard Ridge, one of New York's most celebrated journalists and interviewers who knew Charles and counted him as a mentor. Along the way the boys look back at the nightclub scene of 1980s New York, how drag performance evolved from the 1800s to now, Charles' greatest jokes, how drag has entered the mainstream, and of course a pop quiz on Charles' greatest lines as Bette, Joan, Joan, Mae, and Carol Channing!
