Episode Overview

This milestone 250th episode sees Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova revisiting what makes their unlikely but enduring partnership so resonant (and ridiculous) for listeners. The episode moves from the pain and absurdity of drag life, to backstage stories, LA living woes, lost doll collections, leaky condos and mold, and reflections on podcasting longevity. Along the way, the duo veers off into irreverent takes on pop culture, sex cult documentaries, and their evolving perspectives on pleasure. The tone is acerbic, self-deprecating, occasionally heartfelt, and, as ever, utterly chaotic.

• On drag pain:

  “There is a release. There’s something diabolical about being in drag. And your base level is not 100% healthy. Because, Mama, if you’re sick, if you’re in pain… if you’re at 100%, you get into drag, you’re down to 30%.” (10:07)

Tone & Style

But, you know, I. Because I am older, right? Getting older. And I'm sort of like, I'm at a crossroads where actually I'm overdue to be at this crossroads where, like.

[Trixie Mattel]

So this is about personal style.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah. Theoretically, I agree.

[Trixie Mattel]

Because at a certain point, I, like. I don't know, I'm at a point where I'm like, when you're my age and you're bald, a T shirt doesn't hit the way you think it does.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Well, at the gym it does.

[Trixie Mattel]

At the gym it does. At home it does. But in general, I don't know, what.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Do you feel about a super oversized T shirt with the shoulder off and.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

To me.

[Trixie Mattel]

I'm about to. Literally keeping these lights on.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Thank you. Speaking of lights, I have sunglasses on because I have two black eyes.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, that's tough. What happened?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I don't want to talk about it.

[Trixie Mattel]

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

I'm just kidding.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I don't have two black eyes.

[Trixie Mattel]

The reveal.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah. Imagine if. Imagine if there were no eyes.

[Trixie Mattel]

What's going on, man?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I love those glasses, by the way.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, thank you. I got them in the TikTok shop.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What is this tick? I don't want to know about it.

[Trixie Mattel]

It's this beautiful union of me, me, hi, me, me on a gummy.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Is it teemu.

[Trixie Mattel]

Me and a gummy and me seeing something and saying, hey. And you know what? The real. For people like me, who have no personal style, it's. It's my. My catalyst is if I see a bald person in outfit and they look half. They only look half stupid, I'm like, maybe that could happen for me.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

Because the thing about being bald is you got to stay in your lane. You got to know that everything with a bald haircut changes.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I know. I can't really.

[Trixie Mattel]

There's no boy next door that's bald. That boy is sick. That's.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I was going to say a Jimmy fund.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right. In a movie like the Boy Next.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Door who's bald is powder or has cancer.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yes. So.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Or a lovely monk. The golden child.

[Trixie Mattel]

I think what you do the kind of gothy thing. I think bald or not bald is great.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah. When you're alternative, you can get a lot. You can get away with a lot.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, my God.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Because you don't be Jeff Bezos. You don't be Jeff Bezos.

[Trixie Mattel]

No.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Did you say mustache? I would sooner unalive.

[Trixie Mattel]

I love mustaches.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

You do?

[Trixie Mattel]

Love it. It's an immediate launch. It's immediate. Yes. For me.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

So do you think. How many. How many notches up the hot skill does a man go when he rocks the mustache? I'm sure. Does it depend.

[Trixie Mattel]

A full click. Really? A full notch? Absolutely.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Can you give an example?

[Trixie Mattel]

Superman.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Which one? Christopher Reeve.

[Trixie Mattel]

No, the natal Superman.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Henry Cavill.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yes. When he had a mustache, I was like, well, now we're. Now we took. We took. We took chocolate cake. Rich Bruce Bug trotted chocolate cake. And we dumped cocaine on it. And so we're sniffing and eating and it's.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

We're boofing.

[Trixie Mattel]

We're boofing. We're completely boofing.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What about. Speaking of Superman, did you see the woke Superman? The David Corn Sweat one?

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah. The world doesn't seem to be receiving Frankenstein.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Frankenstein.

[Trixie Mattel]

I don't. I. When we saw it early. Cut. And I saw it super early, I thought we would. I thought it would be, like, what he did. Rivalry is. Well, no one's, like, changing their Twitter bio to Frankenstein movie, you know, I.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Think because we enjoyed it in that, you know, we get the movies like that. Like, you know, I care a lot. That chopped up was so cunt. I watched the whole thing.

[Trixie Mattel]

Not as quite Frankenstein.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Story, I don't know.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah, but I mean, those outfits, every time she was on screen, you're like.

[Trixie Mattel]

Can I jump into the future a little bit? We have. We just filmed this video yesterday that. Okay, remember we had Luscious on this pot. Luscious masker. You guys remember Icon, legend, The best.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Don't do it.

[Trixie Mattel]

Remember how she said she. When you said, well, you do wear makeup, and she said, I'll do you, but it's like a little one too. Remember she said, I'm gonna get you in and out of this makeup station in 30 minutes? Yeah. Remember she said, like, the girls are spending too much time doing makeup.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

I did a video yesterday where I said, I'm gonna take 30 minutes. I put a timer on my iPhone, and I said, I'm not just gonna, like, stop at 30. I'm gonna make sure every step is done in 30 minutes.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Cunty, not cunty.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

Well, here we do, like, bald and the beautiful. Those big stages. No meet and greet.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I'm kind of like, well, here's the thing, though. I. I like to. I like. I like to. I like to relax, have a little cocktail. You take my time.

[Trixie Mattel]

Kamora hall, eight hours.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Mary.

[Trixie Mattel]

It's actually.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What about Jinx Monsoon? She does the first of she does the, the, the.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

The.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

The paintbrain.

[Trixie Mattel]

She does like. She does like a marine layer. She does like the earth's mantle, the crust, you know what I mean?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

She's doing like, she color blocking, pouring foundation. Blends it all out and then starts.

[Trixie Mattel]

She takes like, Mabel, I think, Jinx. You can, you know, you can correct me if you remember how to use your phone. I think she. When she came over my house, I think she used Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. Do you know about this product?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I sure do.

[Trixie Mattel]

That hockey puck of glass.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I sure do.

[Trixie Mattel]

And I love Maybelline. We both have Maybelline Fit Me foundation on today. Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And I have it on. Well, you can't see mine because right underneath it's on.

[Trixie Mattel]

Did that bump ever go away? It did, right?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Excuse me?

[Trixie Mattel]

Remember the English from. Oh, yeah, huge bump.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, yeah, huge.

[Trixie Mattel]

Was it herpes? Was it ingrown hair?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, that was. That was a. That was a devastating ingrown hair. Devastating. Remember how it was? It was purple disgust.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Mary.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It was because underneath the surface, you know, the evil lies underneath.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right? It's.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It's a twisted root of a tangled hair. Disgusting. The fruits of the devil.

[Trixie Mattel]

There is a. I have chronic pain. There is a release. There's something diabolical about being in drag. And your base level is not 100% healthy. Because, Mama, if you're sick, if you're in pain, everything else, if you're at.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

100%, you get into drag, you're down to 30%.

[Trixie Mattel]

Down to 30%.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

You are in pain.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yep.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

That's the.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I was just talking about this with somebody. It's like with Fina, it was like you.

[Trixie Mattel]

The.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

The paradox of drag is that the more, you know, as the steps progress and you become this cified version of yourself, the. The. The comfort level degrades so drastic, drastically that it's at odds with that feeling for sure.

[Trixie Mattel]

You know what I mean? And you start to lose the battle.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Yes.

[Trixie Mattel]

You. The. The pain starts to overtake the awareness that you're this hot bitch.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah. Especially with movement, too. Like, if you are corseted and padded and then wigged, like, like you're not like Twyla Tharp. You can't do. You can't do Lucinda Child. No, you can't do Elvin Ailey.

[Trixie Mattel]

You're like, I. You know, I'm doing all the music festivals this year. Some of them have been announced, but I'm doing a bunch of them. And some of them are in the summer, like in the South I don't.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Know why you do this to yourself.

[Trixie Mattel]

But I called Amy, my costumer and I said listen, because originally we were going to do for the show a bustier with a sculpted cups and stuff that we would like paint, pin things on for quick changes. And I called her and said, I just don't think so. Bonnaroo. Bonnaroo's in Tennessee in the middle of summer.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Why the would anybody do that? Why?

[Trixie Mattel]

So I called her and said I just don't think we can put me in a corset in like a hundred degrees outside.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What you can do, get one of those Japanese cooling suits. They exist. They exist for workers are wearing these Japanese cooling suits in Japan?

[Trixie Mattel]

What?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh yeah, baby, look it up.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

Google it.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It's a thing also to the point of sweating. I have a revelation that I would love to share with you.

[Trixie Mattel]

What is it?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

So I had a gig. I guess I can't talk about it right now, but it a wonderful like dream gig.

[Trixie Mattel]

Tv.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Tv. TV gig.

[Trixie Mattel]

I don't want to say anything but we both got the TV gigs of our lives.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah, we both booked TV gigs on shows that we not only love but that are objectively incredible.

[Trixie Mattel]

We only got the jobs from years of saying how much we like it, which is so much better than auditioning. I have to say. Just beg to be on things. Don't audition. No, just, just at every turn cheat out to the camera and say how much you love the show. That was the move.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I was invited to be on the.

[Trixie Mattel]

Show cuz I said no, I'm just kidding.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

They wrote a part for me, Mary. And I memorized the lines. I did anyways, so. But I went to a costume fitting and then I was like spiraling because the outfit was so incredibly hot. So it's like it's over.

[Trixie Mattel]

It's over. It's absolutely over.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

So I went to go get out my stitches.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

I almost did.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I went to go get my stitches out at that fucking crazy concierge place and I said, hey baby. Hello Ms. NP Nurse Practitioner.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

I did a little Googling this morning.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What do you think about glycopyrolate? She's like, what? She went and did a little Googling. There is a medication that anesthesiologists use during surgery to help stop secretions in the body. So and the off label used for this is it stops sweating, you stop sweating. I was like, this sounds too good to be true. She sure did write me a script for that. And I went, picked it up two hours later.

[Trixie Mattel]

It worked, baby. Were you hot still?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I was hot. So, yeah, here's the thing. I went to the gym the night before to test it out. I was. I'll go work out, go in the sauna, see what the tea is.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

It didn't work.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It didn't really work that much. But if you are not exerting yourself, it's for event specific hyperhidrosis. Like if you have a business meeting, for example, and you are sweating buckets.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, this could be great for my panic attacks.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, no, no. I mean, we. Are you joking? No, I'm serious.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

Sweating is a symptom of, like, an anxiety.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Of course.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

So, like, you know how a lot of people are just like. They get crazy sweaty hands. They got to shake hands with people. It's like a huge liability.

[Trixie Mattel]

What is it?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Hyperhidrosis.

[Trixie Mattel]

Hyperhidrosis, yeah. And that's when you're. You're. Your balls are so big, so huge.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

With purple.

[Trixie Mattel]

With saline, and they drag behind you.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah, yeah. Is the snail trail kind of effect.

[Trixie Mattel]

Are your nipples wired? Are they? You always. You never answer. Because when people want to touch my nipples sexually, it. It does nothing. It's like, Mary, I. I feel like I let them down because they love to touch the nipple and be like, isn't that intense? And I'm like, like, you might as.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Well just like, suck on a brick wall. It's the same thing, right? Suck on a brick wall. I have a friend who, if you. If you like, if you blew in his nipples, he would just jizz all over the place. It's like, nice.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

Isn't that nice?

[Trixie Mattel]

It's always the sober guys.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, he ain't sober.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, damn. Well, tik tok, tik tok.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

But wait, so I. So I. I took the medication and got to take it on an empty stomach. Very important, very important, very important side effect. Dry mouth. Very dry mouth. So took the.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

Took the med.

[Trixie Mattel]

Took the.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

Did the scene.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And there was. I had. I was a little bit physical. At the end of the scene, Fina comes over. She's my assistant. She goes to. To blot me. There's nothing to blot.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, interesting. Are you gonna use this at Netflix? We don't sweat at Netflix.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, we're literally just. Well, so I can't use it in the club because it's. Because I'm moving around. I'm like, you know what I mean?

[Trixie Mattel]

That's what I'm worried about. Your body having an adverse effect. If it can't Sweat.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

That's. Well, so that's. That's the danger. You can overheat.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

So you can't over. But. But not when you're on a TV set not really moving around for a limited amount of time.

[Trixie Mattel]

And this the perfect scenario.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Well, I mean, think about it. Like, imagine you're giving a TED Talk and you're terrified.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And there's hot lights and you're in a sequin cat suit. I would take it for that.

[Trixie Mattel]

I have a real question. If you could give a TED Talk, first of all, would you go to the TED Talks? If you could, would you go to the. To watch them?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Wait, it depends on what's.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

Who's talking.

[Trixie Mattel]

Single drop of blood. Would you do. Would you. What would you give it on today?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Today? I would give it on. That's a good question. I would. I would give it on. No, I would give it on recording 250 episodes of the. Oh, my God. No, I would.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

I would.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I would. I would. I would. I would. Wait, let's go back to that. Congratulations, by the way.

[Trixie Mattel]

Let's celebrate that.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Mary, congratulations for the win at the Golden Globes on Best Podcast.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, my God.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I couldn't believe this. I was so. I was shocked.

[Trixie Mattel]

Can I be honest?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I was shocked.

[Trixie Mattel]

Y' all can make fun of me. I believed we could be nominated. I don't care if that's delusion. I believe in us. Shoot me in the head.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, no.

[Trixie Mattel]

Millennial optimism right here. I'm happy we're nominated for GLAD Award. I lost it for Trixie Motel, I think three years ago.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

We're going together.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Strength in numbers.

[Trixie Mattel]

This is the two I think we got to take down, baby. I think we got to take lust Kalchin down at the knees.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

You know, and now Bowen has quit snl, so he needs the work. And then Caleb Heron, who's funny and nice, I'm gonna have to push him down a hill.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

That's okay.

[Trixie Mattel]

So these are the three people we're gonna have to take out.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Amy.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, no, we gotta take out Amy, too.

[Trixie Mattel]

Both the lost coach and then Caleb and Amy. And I think that we could scoop the. The GLAD Award. Bob the Drag Queen has, like, 16 glad awards. Can you and I get one?

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Thank you.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I mean, why there's. Why are there two A's in that word?

[Trixie Mattel]

Glade.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Glad. What is Gay, Lesbian and Alcoholics Anonymous divorcees?

[Trixie Mattel]

Gay, Lesbian, Alcoholic Anonymous divas.

[Trixie Mattel]

We're going. Is it here in la?

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

Okay. Katie and I are nominated for a.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

GLAD award and we will be attending that ceremony dressed to kill.

[Trixie Mattel]

I'm. I honestly, when I saw like Caleb and Los Cultres, I was like, this is, this is a hard thing to win. It's hard to win.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I disagree. 250 episodes prove yes. So what, they got Lady Gaga?

[Trixie Mattel]

No, this was me.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

They got Tina Fey.

[Trixie Mattel]

I got nominated for gladwar a couple years ago and I went and to me, I think if I go in drag that maybe I'll win. I think there's good karma to that of like mama.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

If you both show up dressed to kill. And I'm talking really murder. We're gonna murder people there.

[Trixie Mattel]

Well, this is not this award show, but there's some award shows that are smaller. The ones that I get invited to where if you show they get. You do have a higher chance of winning also. And they kind of almost tell you that.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah, they're like, hey, we'd really love to see you.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah. Are you going to be coming? It might be really good for you to come. Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

You probably want to sit near the front and wear some comfortable shoes.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right? So I would love for us to win a gold.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

We're going to.

[Trixie Mattel]

But. And I'm sad we didn't win the Golden Globe because when we were nominated, most people would have thought that means you're probably not going to win. But I thought there still could be a chance.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I. I was. I mean, I. I've never felt so shocked and betrayed.

[Trixie Mattel]

Amy won, though. Yeah, Amy won. Amy Poehler. Shout out to Amy Poehler.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah, whatever. I'm just kidding. Great. Great pod. I love that. When she talked to Gwyneth Paltrow about what time they love to go to bed and eat dinner.

[Trixie Mattel]

I just saw Gwyneth. Not in person. I saw her in a movie. Wait, it wasn't a movie.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Marty Supreme.

[Trixie Mattel]

It was a documentary. It was about that woman. What? It was Orgasm Inc. That documentary about the woman who. What was it called? Or what was the company?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Susan Powder.

[Trixie Mattel]

No, I watched that too. We need to talk about both of these.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Okay, I'm sorry. I love Gwen. I love Gwyneth Paltrow.

[Trixie Mattel]

I'm.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I'm on the Gwyneth train again.

[Trixie Mattel]

Orgasm Inc. Okay, One Taste. One Taste was this company where. I'm not kidding now some of you trigger warning. Grape, grape, grape. So. Okay, that sounds dismissive. I didn't mean it like that.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Rape.

[Trixie Mattel]

This is a documentary talking explicitly about lines being blurred at a sex positive company.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. What. What company? What are they selling?

[Trixie Mattel]

It's called One Taste. And it was started by this woman. And her whole thing was like, spirituality and being connected to the universe and the power of the female orgasm. So people would pay money to show up to seminars where she would like, talk about, like kind of MLM style, like the self, your success, whatever. And then she would get a woman on the table, take the pants off, and some guy would stand over and do this guy make her come in front of everyone.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Okay.

[Trixie Mattel]

It was always guy on girl. Okay? And then at a certain point, there's cult elements. They're putting a snake on people. They're wearing hoods, they're jerking it off. And then at a certain point, the only people paying to come were mostly men. So then the women who work at the company are like, I guess I'll go to the class today and get jerked off. Kind of crazy. Really crazy documentary.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

That's. That's wild. I mean, I wouldn't take a sex workshop unless it was given by Annie Sprinkle.

[Trixie Mattel]

Who's that?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

She's a sexologist eco. She's a performance artist who does, like. She did a fun thing called a public cervix announcement. She makes love to the earth. She's really amazing. Huge boobs, wonderful person. Great.

[Trixie Mattel]

What about, like a passion party being thrown by Condoleezza Rice? What about if you went to a living room passion party and it was Condoleezza Rice and she brought out her dildos and was just like, let's go.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And then she tickled the ivories and spoke Russian because, you know, she can do that.

[Trixie Mattel]

There is a special time that I feel like we missed out as adults because we weren't women. We're not like, passion parties.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What are you talking about?

[Trixie Mattel]

Passion parties?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I don't know what those are.

[Trixie Mattel]

Small town usa, like, where I'm from, like, Tupperware parties. Yes. But they're not selling Tupperware. Yes.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, baby.

[Trixie Mattel]

So the women come over and then somebody's like, sassy friend, right?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, I know, I know.

[Trixie Mattel]

Ladies, you're not coming enough.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

And then the rabbit out. Yes. Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Hook it up to the generator.

[Trixie Mattel]

This is kind of chattering teeth, sex based business, self positivity vibes, but it's like a performance of sex in a.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Room that's a perfect storm.

[Trixie Mattel]

So, yeah, it was a. And the people who used to work for this company in the documentary were very forthcoming and very blatant about what they experienced. It was a very shocking documentary. It was crazy. But nothing eats, Nothing touches, Nothing touches. The Susan Powder documentary. Right. Nothing has ever touched it.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I mean, are you old enough to remember her on the tv? Stop the insanity.

[Trixie Mattel]

Never heard of her in my life.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, I. I was there. Oh, I was there.

[Trixie Mattel]

And obviously the insanity did not stop.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, I mean, I'm very. We're kindred spirits. She's. I think I drive an Uber in LA or in Las Vegas driving Ubers.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

She. The Stop the insanity was huge.

[Trixie Mattel]

Was really interesting because she was like, I have no issue working. I have no issue driving Uber. You got to work. When she was younger, her managers and agents, etc, all took at least half of what she made. And they own the name Susan Powder. So there's a scene where she's on the website looking at Susan Powder fitness items. She's like, I don't get any of this. That's my name. None of this goes to me.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Brianna. That's why she don't make no music.

[Trixie Mattel]

It was so obviously this woman was traumatized by all this happening to her. And Jamie Lee Curtis produces it. And they get together and of course they're crying, right? And I'm crying because these two women are crying. And Jamie Lee Curtis is like, I've always thought if anyone would play her, it'd be me. I was like, do it tomorrow, bitch. Do it tomorrow. I need. But I need to see Jamie Lee Curtis as Susan Powder driving Uber in a feature film. Yeah, it was a great movie. And I hate stories about like. Like when I read Michelle Visage's book and she talked about seduction. Her touring for years and actually leaving seduction in debt. They took all her money. Michelle never got anything. Michelle carried the costumes and steamed them for everyone. She was opening for Millie Vanilli for years. Stadiums Michelle had. I think she said she got less than $1,000 a month per pay.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It's. It's unbelievable.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

The.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

The music.

[Trixie Mattel]

And they made these. The first successful interracial girl group. They made these women feel like, you're so lucky to be here. You're a star. Worry about the money, because you're just so lucky to be here.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I've heard that before.

[Trixie Mattel]

Michelle just ended a huge run with that band, like, with no money. That's years of her life.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It's so up with.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

With.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And also, like, just the. Just the dissonance of, like, performing the stadiums and like.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Do you guys want to go in on some Cheetos later? Like, it's crazy.

[Trixie Mattel]

Do you think about touring?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I do.

[Trixie Mattel]

Lately.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Hell, touring lately.

[Trixie Mattel]

I. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I really miss touring. Like a scripted show with you.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

A scripted show.

[Trixie Mattel]

I like fantasies about doing tricks and Katya live again.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What about.

[Trixie Mattel]

Is that crazy? The word is fantasy. This is. I'm not saying I'm gonna do. Is she. Is she? But you know what I miss? My body microphone. I miss being backstage, us all in the costumes, talking about what we had for lunch, and then we just go out there and do it. I missed.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I missed the curtain coming down and doing that, and then people screaming.

[Trixie Mattel]

I missed that. Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

And you know what I also got? Which I didn't deserve. I got to walk in that show first and I got to stand on stage alone and get the first clap, which I love, baby. I love. That was amazing. And then you come out and it's a double clap.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I love being second fiddle.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

That's my.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

That's my role.

[Trixie Mattel]

We're not second.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm Ed McMahon.

[Trixie Mattel]

You're not second.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

You're Johnny Carson.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

I'm.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

This is how I'm very. You know what I'm talking about.

[Trixie Mattel]

I'm a piccolo. Light, dainty cuts through. I mean, you're a tuba.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I'm an oboe.

[Trixie Mattel]

You're an oboe. I love oboe. If you're gonna sit here and talk about double readed instruments.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Bassoon. Do they have the.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

The thing that goes like that?

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah, Love that. Love bassoon. Girl, can I tell you something? I think I've told you this before. Who cares? When I was in school, we had to go to something called music convocation. Every Friday, every music student had to go to the amphitheater and watch some area of the music department play a show. Maybe this week it's singers. Maybe next week it's a string quartet. It's fine. It was zero credits. You had to go. It's every Friday at noon. Whatever. One week it was around Halloween and it was bassoon convo. And you guys, bassoons are just fun.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, yeah, you've told me this, but. No, no, keep going. I forgot it.

[Trixie Mattel]

No, me. I think it's.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, I actually. Maybe do you. I don't know.

[Trixie Mattel]

I'm gonna see if I can.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Was it like. Was it a.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah. Well, I want to try to find the bassoon sound because if people don't know, it's a funny sounding instrument here. Let's hear a bloon.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It's a fart. It just sounds like farting.

[Trixie Mattel]

Too funny.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I love that.

[Trixie Mattel]

It's like hung over your 19. And it was Halloween and they walked out with Halloween masks on.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And they.

[Trixie Mattel]

Sat and guessed the song. They played. Take me out to the ball game. Like, I could not handle it. That's so bo.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I was like some real.

[Trixie Mattel]

It was.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

That's great. We should do that.

[Trixie Mattel]

Play bassoon.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, do take me out to the ball game for our next show.

[Trixie Mattel]

Take me out to the bald game. Yeah. The bald gay. Oh, take me out to the bald gay Love.

This episode is sponsored by ritual. In winter, when the sun barely lifts its pale eye above the horizon, I think about survival. I think about wool socks, hot bone broth. And long walks through air so cold it feels like the icy fingers of death are encircling me. Supporting a healthy immune system to me begins with a ritual in the truest sense. Sleep that is guarded like a treasure. Movement even when the wind argues otherwise. And food that warms you from the inside out. And then there's the gut, which, if you think about it, is kind of like Beyonce. Powerful, commanding, doing most of the work while everyone just applauds. 70 of your immune system lives there. And if I'm not supporting my gut, I am not truly tending the whole expedition. That is where ritual symbiotic plus enters my daily routine. It's a gut health supplement with clinically studied probiotics to support immune health and those annoying gut things like bloating and gas. I take it because I want my body to feel steady and capable even when the world feels frozen.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

I also love that ritual is obsessive.

[Sponsor Voice]

About clean ingredients, vegan, GMO free, tested for heavy metals and common allergens. It feels considered intentional, trustworthy. Again, just like Beyonce. With ritual Symbiotic plus, one mint scented capsule day is all it takes to get a complete 3 in 1 with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics to support balance and regularity. Out here in the Arctic, you learn that preparation is everything. And by arctic, I mean Los Angeles. So get your gut going and support a balanced gut microbiome with Ritual Symbiotic plus for a limited time, save 40% on your first [e-mail] bald. That's ritual.com bald for 40% off your first month.

Today's episode is sponsored by Better Help. You guys, it's time. It's the top of the year. I'm going to tell you a personal story. So I was in therapy, talk therapy for a long time. Took a break because I was doing so well. Surprise. The call was still coming from inside the house. And what I love about resuming with better help is you get these skills. The skills carry over if you're not doing therapy. But coming back now, I have this perspective of not doing talk therapy for a while, and it kind of reset my goals. I know for me personally, I'm trying to generally reprogram myself to be a more reliable narrator. I have a tendency to panic. I have a lot of anxiety and stress. Stress from nothing. It has nothing to do with being overworked. It has to do with anxiety spiking out of nowhere about anything. And I'm gonna tell you one of the best things about talk therapy. Is the one on one time you get during the week that is not for money, not for anything but yourself and investing in yourself. Quality Therapists Better Help Therapists work according to a strict code of conduct and are fully licensed in the US you guys, My first Better Help therapist that I had to switch from literally wouldn't even tell me that he recognized me. He made me like heavily bring it up. It was like that level confidential where he wasn't even to tell me who I was. Therapist match commitment BetterHelp does the initial matching for you so you can focus on therapy goals. So you do a little questionnaire to identify your needs and preferences. Like for me, I want a therapist that knows about gay stuff. I'm not saying it's a deal breaker, but kind of is for me personally. And that's okay. We all have stuff that we really want want from a therapist and that questionnaire makes it a lot easier to find that. And if you're not happy with your match, you can switch at any time for any reason. Better Help makes it easy to get matched online with a qualified therapist.

[Trixie Mattel]

Picture it.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

Boston, Massachusetts, 2005. Everyone wearing baggy cargo pants and talking on their flip phones. I'm in my 20s, a haunted era of my life when my credit score was more like the mythical Chupacabra than a number decipherable by humans. I didn't understand money, nor did I grasp the concept of a bank for that matter. I thought overdraft fees were taken out to finance the hit film Backdraft, starring Kurt Russell and William Baldwin. I didn't even have checks, but instead wrote IOUs and crayon on napkins. If only I had Chime, my credit score would have stopped feeling like a punishment handed down by a financial demon sent by Astroth to torture me. Listen people, Chime is changing the way we bank. It is fee free, smarter banking built for you. It's not like those old school banks that love monthly fees. There's no mustachioed bank teller behind the glass laughing maniacally at the exorbitant fees. Chime actually feels like it is on your side. You you can get paid up to two days early with direct deposit, which would have absolutely changed my life back when I was surviving on toast and off brand cola. They even have MyPay, which lets you access up to $500 of your paycheck when you need it. Some banks still don't do that, which is exceedingly sad, but makes Astaroth very, very happy.

Oh, my God.

[Trixie Mattel]

This used to be my playground. I take a picture every time. I don't know why.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Do you know that that. That it. That's so weird you said that song. Because when you sent me that picture, it was like this used to be my playground. Used to be. I literally had the whole League of Their own montage in my mind. I thought about. I thought about driving home. Like it's like, oh, it's like 5:45. The sun's about to set. Cranking it up El Contento, like picking off a pedestrian.

[Trixie Mattel]

Beautiful that time of day. It's amazing.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Charging up to the. The top deck to goon at that.

[Trixie Mattel]

It's amazing.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It's just so beautiful street.

[Trixie Mattel]

I could see your old pergola and it's just bathed in sunset light. I was like, that's end of life care up there.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

All those gor. And on your way up you get all those different flowers, like always late in. In bloom at different times. All these different species.

[Trixie Mattel]

Some great yards up there. Difficult parking, but some really pretty art.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah, no parking, no sidewalks.

[Trixie Mattel]

You want to get hit? You want to hit by a car, Go up there. Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Do you want to? Do you want to. You know what I love? My favorite thing was counting how many fucking stupid rich fucks would wear head to toe black walking their dogs in the middle of the street at night.

[Trixie Mattel]

With a black dog with a huge.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Black lab on a. On a 40 foot leash.

[Trixie Mattel]

And not just black, but let's say they'll fit. The color of the pavement.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah. And full makeup. The color of the pavement laying down with stripes. I mean these people want to be hit.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It's. And then jumping out from bushes. And then when you. When you come up on them, the audacity. They had their headphones in the head. The headphones in the headphones.

[Trixie Mattel]

Mary. I know.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Headphones. And my ear.

[Trixie Mattel]

It's fierce.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

She wouldn't get out of the cock of duty street.

[Trixie Mattel]

You know what I do when I'm up there? I have the. The meta goggles that have the glass. The glasses with the open ear speaker.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Okay.

[Trixie Mattel]

So you can hear the street in the world.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I do my. My ghetto blaster. My boombox.

[Trixie Mattel]

Do you?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, I'm just kidding.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, I love the jbl. That's the clip for like going for a walk.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

That's noise pollution.

[Trixie Mattel]

You think people do it at the reservoir and I think it's kind of cute.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It's noise pollution. It's noise pollution.

[Trixie Mattel]

You think?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I do.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

Okay.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I mean imagine on the subway.

[Trixie Mattel]

That's different.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

That's different. But okay, so memories, memories, memories.

[Trixie Mattel]

I was gonna say, you know what you need to do, but you need to go up there like Jennifer Lopez.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh my God. Where she goes?

[Trixie Mattel]

I used to live here and the guy goes, oh, you did? Okay, bye, lady. And he's like, he's like, who? What's your name? And she was like, jennifer.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Jennifer.

[Trixie Mattel]

And he's like, Lawrence or. No, he doesn't say anything. But it. You should go up there and be like, I used to live here. And they're going to be like, yeah, we, we always wondered who lived here.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

We saw the shirt stains, right? It took forever to get them out.

[Trixie Mattel]

Why did you do that to the yard when the interior looks like this?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Mama, not to put them on blast. I hear they're very lovely, the people.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Who live there now.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Very lovely.

[Trixie Mattel]

I hope they enjoy. It's a great house.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah. So the. I, you know what I drive every once in a while because they used to go to my friend's house in the hills. I would drive by a little, you know, very slowly and then drive again. Drive by very slowly. Just two or three in the.

[Trixie Mattel]

Pull in the driveway. Yeah, run the car.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Just like.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I peeked inside a few times, but the windows open.

[Trixie Mattel]

Do you ever go use your old shower just for old time's sake? What if they came home and you were like exercising?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What if they came home and I was spread eagle naked on the pergola?

[Trixie Mattel]

I wish. When you sold a house, there's a sunset provision. Like you can use the house half time.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh yeah, yeah, you can have the house. But mama, that pergola is mine.

[Trixie Mattel]

Also. I come with the house free gift.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

But also like. Well, the thing is, from my neighbor, I've heard that they're so nice, I could, if I asked them, I could go. I'm sure they'd invite me over to sleepover for a week. Crazy straight couple. Anyways, the way that I'm so rueful and nostalgic about this place, I can't even. I would be overstated.

[Trixie Mattel]

I can understand it because when I walk by it, it feels like your house. I don't know how to describe it. I'm like, someone lives in her house.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

The way that I, I loved having. I mean, there was many things about that place that was.

[Trixie Mattel]

That sucked.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

A, there's no square footage. B, there was no sidewalks.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

You could not walk anywhere.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Totally car dependent.

[Trixie Mattel]

Very car dependent.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I mean, no 100%.

[Trixie Mattel]

I moved to America's second largest city, so I have to take a 15 minute car ride to a CVS.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Like the moment I bought that house, I had to buy a car.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I had to. There was no other choice. So now contrast with the. My current living situation, which I'll give you a lovely update on continue to hate it with all my heart and guts and.

[Trixie Mattel]

Sorry.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

But wait, wait. So you know I told you I was reading the moisture reader wrong.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, yeah. Well, you weren't.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I. I got it right one day. So. So I was. Oh, A little bubbling. A little bubbling in the. In the studio. They cut a fucking hole in the wall. They cut a hole through the drywall. Wet, dripping black mold.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

The return.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Game on, Bitch. The sequel. So I've got four giant deafening fans and dehumidifiers going 247 for the next four days. I'm sure that my neighbors are not, like, I don't think they're in love with me. I think they're, like, so in love with me because I must be the best neighbor they have ever had. You know, the hammering, the sawing, the fans.

[Trixie Mattel]

You know what? I'm gonna stop you right there, because my old place, my neighbor when I first moved in, I go, oh, my God, you're in. I'll make up the number. You're in 10:01. I'm 1002. I'm your neighbor.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, yeah. She's like.

[Trixie Mattel]

And she was like, oh, are you gonna be done with your. They're hammering every night. You better believe I am the only person in this building who does not have children or a dog or both. All of you can suck my fat cock and lick my. My heavy clit. I do not care. I flush the toilet once a month. I'm not even fucking there. I don't have dogs. I don't have children. The rest of you are fraudulent bitches. Shut up.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Perpetrating frauds.

[Trixie Mattel]

You know, don't worry about me in my house, barely being there and being silent. Don't worry about me.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah, renter. Worry about your ugly ass.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah. I'm like, I'm. I'm the secret guard garden. I'm the child. I'm the. Indeed in the cupboard.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the perfect neighbor. So I, you know, and to your point, my friend was like, listen, the. The people next door would not have moved to the city in a condo surrounded by two people in the middle, have two neighbors on each side. If they were so sensitive about sound and needed peace and quiet, they would have moved to Albany.

[Trixie Mattel]

I moved into a condo because I needed to make sure that I didn't share a wall with anyone.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

How about three on each side?

[Trixie Mattel]

And I've lived in apartments and shared walls, like, a long time of my life. It just is. It is what it is.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I mean, I be the neighbor you.

[Trixie Mattel]

Wish you could be. I don't blow up the neighbors. You won't catch me in my house blowing up music.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, baby, no, no, no, no. Although I did once in my old, old back in Laurel, where I lived below. The landlord, who was. I swear to God, he was, you know, he's a great big fat person, and he would, like, fall a lot, and it just like, felt like he was gonna come through the.

[Trixie Mattel]

But that doesn't seem intentional falling. That's not like testing subwoofers in your home.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No, I don't think he was. Well, anyway, so one day I played. I had. I put on a movie. It was maybe a little loud.

[Trixie Mattel]

Dune.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It was Dune. The way that that man barreled down the stairs and almost broke through my door and told me that, screaming at me while Amy and Sam. Amy Doan and Sam were there saying, the whole complex is shaking. God damn it. And I was like.

[Trixie Mattel]

Can I say, when you go to someone's door, you gotta know that you're not gonna be perceived the way you think you're perceived. You're gonna seem crazy. If the door opens and you start yelling, you're just gonna seem crazy. And what you could say is, you know, it's just my walls are rattling a little bit. Is that okay? I'm sorry we've never met. I'm so and so like that approach.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

Compared to the whole goddamn concert.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Barrel down. And I was like, baby, I can hear you at 3am falling down.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What are you doing at 3am yeah, bitch.

[Trixie Mattel]

Your big everything broke that shoe. You know what I mean?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

So wait, so the. So my. My life at home is currently, again, in shambles. But the I, I, you know.

[Trixie Mattel]

I have something to add.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Please.

[Trixie Mattel]

It's been raining in Los Angeles. My guest house leaks.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Everybody's got water damage.

[Trixie Mattel]

My guest house leaks. I had to have black mold. Remediation is doing my whole guest house. I'm in the club. It sucks. It's expensive. It's tens of thousands of dollars.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Tell me about it. I'm a moisture expert.

[Trixie Mattel]

The foundation, they got to do what they call a mold cut, which is the three feet from the floor. The entire property. The entire thing. And they did the moisture gun, and they're like, you have maybe one wall here that doesn't have to be, like, gutted.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Now, did you vet whoever who I. I.

[Trixie Mattel]

No, I called the first person. Is that bad?

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

Who is it?

[Trixie Mattel]

I don't know.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Do you know what the company's name is?

[Trixie Mattel]

What Is yours. Well, now I'm scared. There's gotta be more than one baby.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It better not be.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Fucking.

[Trixie Mattel]

It's not. It's not.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Because, mama, they ripped and ran. They tore my whole house apart and then left without putting anything back.

[Trixie Mattel]

No. This company moves on all my belongings.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Okay. It's a full service.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

They're gonna put back all the drywall. They do the construction.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah. Guess what else happened? What? You don't even know about this. I don't.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Why didn't you tell me?

[Trixie Mattel]

So one of the issues was I said, well, Brandon and I have a storage unit down the street from my condo.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Andrew told me.

[Trixie Mattel]

So in my storage unit. And this actually sucks. And you all can make fun of me. Whatever. One of the only things I have that has value. That's not money is my doll collection. I've spent years of my life collecting all these beautiful vintage toys. Time capsules of American history and fashion. Whatever. I'm a huge fag. They're really valuable. Many love them. And they. I love them. Yeah. It's one of the only material things I know is completely. It's not for food, water or sex or shelter. It's just. I love it.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

And I've invested a lot of my money in. In them and making sure that they have their own storage unit that's dark and dry and cool and safe. We went in there to get something. Mold the entire doll collection. My entire doll collection. Dolls from 59 through 80 basically are. The boxes are all melt, all molded. All the boxes have mold on them. And I'm having to hire a company to come in that does mold remediation on objects to go through the whole collection and see what can be saved. But I might have to. So all my videos of vintage dolls, they might just all have to go in a landfill. And I have the fullest insurance at that storage unit.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

The.

[Trixie Mattel]

It only covers up to $5,000.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

The fullest insurance at a storage unit only caught $5,000.

[Trixie Mattel]

And so I'm wondering, what are you doing? Keep candy corns there. My guest house leaking is like, okay, everyone's house is leaking. But paying a monthly fee for a safe dry storage unit, it would have never occurred to me that this unit was just flooding.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

I don't know why in Los Angeles we had to make buildings as if rain hadn't been invented yet.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I know.

[Trixie Mattel]

It didn't just hit.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I know.

[Trixie Mattel]

Rain isn't new.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I know. Well, Los Angeles is famously. I mean, depending on what type. I mean, unless it Was, you know, unless it was built in the 20s and then renovated during the golden age of architecture in la, it's going to probably be poo poo.

[Trixie Mattel]

Crap.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

If it was built in the 50s, 60s, 70s, an apartment complex, it's going to look like the cat's ass.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And it's probably going to be from tissue paper and wood chips. But you know what? My situation is a little bit more frustrating because I. It's like I wasn't a victim of circumstance. A lot of this stuff I did, I made the most spectacularly stupid decisions. So after getting rid of the mold, having the bright idea to let someone put these enormously heavy planters on my deck, which of course immediately perforated the newly sealed waterproof membrane of the deck. Having to take them down, all that super expensive, by the way, for nothing, only to cause more problems.

[Trixie Mattel]

Oh, yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

So it's like I am literally like.

[Trixie Mattel]

I'm like, Brandon was literally crying because he was like, Brandon was like, you worked so hard for this. And we went extra steps to put these what we perceive to be like the safest place. It's not in our homes. It's in a storage. It's not even on the first floor. How the fuck did it get molding everything? Moldy dolls, moldies. Beautiful, pristine, mint condition Barbie collection. Rotting.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Fuck. Sucks shit.

[Trixie Mattel]

We're gonna have to go back on tour.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

We've lost it all.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm in foreclosure, thank God. Take it. Take this moldy ass place.

[Sponsor Voice]

Take it, take it.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I'll live in a wheelbarrow full of wood chips and sawdust. It just sucks.

[Guest or Producer (possibly Nick or Tracy)]

No, it doesn't.

[Trixie Mattel]

And I don't want to like fantasize, but I'm like, okay. Over in Wisconsin, we don't have leaks in our homes. Mostly I grew up in a trailer. It did not leak. Mary, what is the issue over here in Los Angeles where somebody is, somebody's up there just poking holes like we're all bugs in a peanut butter jar with holes poked in the top.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

That was me. I paid someone to poke some holes. Crazy. Kill me, slap me, throw me down the stairs.

[Trixie Mattel]

I think, I hope it stops raining for the winter because I can't take it.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I mean, I'm from Massachusetts, where we got, I don't know, famously like four, like 4,000ft of snow every winter.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Do you think we had one leak in our house?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

No.

[Trixie Mattel]

No. I don't know what to do. I don't know why we don't just make roofs like this no matter what. Like my house has that roof. My house doesn't leak. All of it rolls off.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

With the new studio, Andrew and I.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Moved into the the top.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

So it's above. It's above this restaurant. Why is the driveway concave?

[Trixie Mattel]

Love.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And why does it collect puddles and puddles and puddles? And I was told not to park there because the restaurant is flooding always underneath it.

[Trixie Mattel]

Fierce.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Isn't that fierce? Isn't that cunty? Isn't that great? Isn't that lovely for a restaurant?

[Trixie Mattel]

What are we gonna do?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I don't know. Not live in la.

[Trixie Mattel]

I try to count my blessings. I'm like, my house isn't leaking. Trixie Cosmetics isn't leaking. Trixie Motel isn't leaking.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Once I get my little poker.

[Trixie Mattel]

But we also just redid the Trixie Motel roof when we moved in. And it's not going to rain in Palm Springs the way it's raining here.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Mama.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah, that's. That's like. Yeah, no, but I don't know. Girl.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Weather. We're having weather.

[Trixie Mattel]

I have another great story for you. Teaser next week. Trixie Mattel pulled over.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

It happens.

[Trixie Mattel]

It happens.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

It could happen.

[Trixie Mattel]

Trixman pulled over. All of this has been happening in the same like three day period. It's been awful.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Wait, wait. We've got to end on a happy note.

[Trixie Mattel]

And on A happy note. 50 episodes of the Bald and the Beautiful.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

250 episodes. Now take that, Amy Poehler.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Just kidding.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

250 episodes of nonstop, nonstop entertainment for free.

[Trixie Mattel]

Sometimes people will say to me about you and I. They will say things like, you guys could just do anything and people will eat it up. I don't feel that way. And I know these people watching us for 10 years don't feel that way.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I take that as a compliment because they don't understand.

[Trixie Mattel]

I think it's a read. I think it's insulting to these people listening too.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And there's a. There's a limit where there's a.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

When you're self.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

When you don't have. You have a sense of humor and a sense of humility and you have a self deprecating sense of humor. There is a line where you should kind of check yourself in like, you know, I'm actually not a piece of shit. And this is not some stupid frivolous thing. It's a wonderful thing that I'm proud of.

[Trixie Mattel]

I care about what you and I do in here.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

I do too.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And just because it seems off the cuff or like, or that it's improvised or that it's not heavily produced or that we don't know how to say goodbye.

[Trixie Mattel]

Like, doesn't mean we may not know how to introduce guests. Yeah, yeah. But we can't remember anyone's name.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

What happens in between all of that is very important.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right?

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

They love to say this to me. Girl, I love how you could just wear anything.

[Trixie Mattel]

That's what I'm saying.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Like, don't wear anything.

[Trixie Mattel]

I wish you wouldn't wear anything. What if we start doing drag but we're just completely naked with no padding on? The wigs and the makeup, but just oiled, big black bush.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Hateful bush.

[Trixie Mattel]

Hateful bush.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Hateful bush that you just got. It says hairy legs, big old panties and that hateful bush.

[Trixie Mattel]

No, I have a bra on panties, but I don't have them on. I just hold them on my lap just so you know, I could put.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Them on if I have them on a hanger that I hold up the whole time.

[Trixie Mattel]

So much better than getting a drag. We should just bring in store mannequins with our outfits on it. Be like, this is what could have happened.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Or a projector. Projector. Oh, Paint our bodies white. Different outfits.

[Trixie Mattel]

Love.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And then have it cross dissolve so they change over time. I love fashion journey. All right, last thing. Last thing. I. I love. I've recently discovered that I maybe am not as interested in having sex with people as I thought I was.

[Trixie Mattel]

I kind of. Can I tell you, I listened to the last pod and you were talking about the asshole.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah. And I knew you were going to have this Sarah plane and tall swing backwards.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And I. And I kind of did, too, because.

[Trixie Mattel]

But that's how everyone is. Does anyone else feel like when you're horny, you have a hookup or. I used to have, like, three in a week, and then nothing for months.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Mama.

[Trixie Mattel]

Once you break the seal, you're like. Well.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And it's like, I, I, I. Everything I said was true. Right. I mean, I really had a transcendental time.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

But I. I just haven't really been in the mood.

[Trixie Mattel]

I think that's okay. It comes in waves, I think.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

And also, I. Mama, I know me.

[Trixie Mattel]

Yeah.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Nobody knows me better than me.

[Trixie Mattel]

You love to jerk it.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I love to touch myself.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

I go through a hell of pleasure myself. I think we can go 250 episodes. Thank you so much for letting us do the most wonderful thing in the world. Because, honestly, this job is so cunty.

[Trixie Mattel]

It's great. Thank you to Nick for filming and doing all the sound.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Yes.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Thank you to Tracy for always laughing. Always laughing in the background. Give me someone to wink at and take you to Mark.

[Trixie Mattel]

And honestly, Mark, Studio 71 and all of our guests, but. And also PG, our managers were the ones who were like, do you guys want to do a pod? They had. I don't know if we would have done.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Don't you remember? I was like, start a pod this late in the game? Oh, yeah.

[Trixie Mattel]

I remember feeling like, who wants to have us do? I remember feeling like, well, we're models. People want to look at us. They don't want to listen to us. Why? Why? Why are we so good at drag? But people are so happy we've stopped dressing up.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

But don't you. I remember thinking, this is too late. This is too late. It's like, too late in the game to this now, everybody. Now Gwyneth Paltrow's got a pod. Everybody's got a pod.

[Trixie Mattel]

But also, our fans were so young. Like, their cochlear, like, little bones had just finally.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Yeah. Now their fontanelles are hardening up.

[Trixie Mattel]

Right. And so they were cerebrally finally ready for a pod.

[Sponsor Voice or Additional Guest]

Thank you.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Now we're all on the level. Now that I have dementia, they're ready to listen.

[Trixie Mattel]

And a whole new audience. Whole new audience. Which is great because we don't have any stories except me getting pulled over. I'm gonna tell you next week.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]

Okay, Cliffhanger.

[Trixie Mattel]

Okay, bye.

[Katya Zamolodchikova]
