Trixie Mattel
Hey, Katya, you know what I love?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Jason Momoa on a bed of mashed potatoes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nuts.
Trixie Mattel
I'm obsessed with nuts.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know.
Jinkx Monsoon
I've seen your search history.
Trixie Mattel
No, you little idiot. I'm talking about the snack that pretends to be bad for you, but it isn't. I'm talking about wonderful pistachios.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, slap my behind and call me Shirley. You're talking about wonderful pistachios? The don't hold back snack. Tell me more, oh, wise purveyor of nut facts.
Trixie Mattel
Well, it came in a package to my house, and each serving has 6 grams of protein. Plus, they're bold, flavorful, and just a little dangerous. You can get honey roasted, jalapeno lime, chili roasted, or my favorite, which I tried this morning, dill pickle.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And as my great aunt Olga used to say, wonderful pistachios bring the heat, the sweet, and everything in between.
Trixie Mattel
Plus, they come with shells or no shells for your snacking pleasure. I'm a no shells person. I can't have anything get in the way of me eating. I've got lashes to glue on. I got wigs to fluff. But if you like cracking them, I want you to live your nutcracking truth, honey.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Whether I'm backstage, on the road or hiding in a wig closet with a bag in hand, wonderful pistachios are my go to.
Jinkx Monsoon
I love the flavor of them.
Trixie Mattel
I love them now.
Jinkx Monsoon
Yeah, I love them, too.
Trixie Mattel
And when I'm in drag, I can't always sit and eat a whole meal. But sometimes I just need a little something.
Jinkx Monsoon
A little nut.
Trixie Mattel
And if I have a healthy option, I'm a lot more likely to eat that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
So don't hold back, dear listeners. Grab a bag of wonderful pistachios and snack like the stunning diva you are.

Bob the Drag Queen
Monet got. Yeah, I don't know what. They can take care of all the pictures. When does the feminization kick in?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Thank you. Hello, Shots fired.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you feminize a size 15 foot hobbling bunion?
Katya Zamolodchikova
You, you, you chop the toes off. Shaved out. Well, Mary, I got two words for you. Corn blade.
Bob the Drag Queen
What's the corn blade?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Let me tell you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you have corns? No, not anymore. Not since the corn blade.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Mary. I got. I was like, I've been dreaming about foot rasps.
Bob the Drag Queen
Rasp.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, a foot rasp. It's like a cheese grater for your Feet.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had these. I've had these. Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And they're quite intense. They can be quite intense. You know, you're like, oh, my God, I had two inches of dead skin on my feet. Now I'm a size 2. Like, so I got a corn blade, though. And that shit is a fucking razor.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you have.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And you gotta watch out.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you have nice feet?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'll let you be the judge of that.
Bob the Drag Queen
They're nicer than mine. But that's. That's not a.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's not a foot model foot.
Bob the Drag Queen
Having a nicer foot in mind is not an accomplishment.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What is, girl? It's like.
Bob the Drag Queen
You don't wear socks. That's crazy.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, this is a. This is a. Once. I never do this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Are you throwing these shoes away after?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I never do this. Because, girl, these. These. This will be a biohazard. These shoes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, you can't wear. There comes an age, and I would say 13, where you can no longer wear a shoe without a sock.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What about loafers at the. On the cape?
Bob the Drag Queen
Like a. No, not a loafer. No. You can't wear any shoe that encapsulates your foot. It has to be a sandal. Otherwise the shoe is just. It's the nastiest shoe on the planet. The shoe becomes loafers on the cape. On the Cape.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Loafers on the cape.
Bob the Drag Queen
What is this?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Cape Cod, bitch?
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, I've never.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Nantucket. Martha's Vineyard.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do I look like I go to Martha's Vineyard?
Katya Zamolodchikova
They got black people up in there.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not like the Obamas. Not. The Obamas are of a different ilk than I am. I'll just say that they're not as classy.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Clearly. Look at these braids.
Bob the Drag Queen
We got our units on.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Excuse me.
Bob the Drag Queen
You posted online. It was a unit.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What are you talking about? Unit?
Bob the Drag Queen
The unit and the beautiful.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's no longer the. It's just.
Bob the Drag Queen
What is it? It's just beautiful.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Unity.
Bob the Drag Queen
Unity. There it is.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Unity.
Bob the Drag Queen
You and I. T Y. That's.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Before we get into Simone Biles and Meth, what has been going on in your life other than this gorgeous, lovely printed book for which she has received so much critical acclaim?
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Tell me about the process.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I tell you what has been the most, like, impressive thing about this book for me? First of all, getting it written was a very long process. It took me four years to write the book.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Talk about writing a book, because Mama. Talk about it.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I missed.
Katya Zamolodchikova
This is fiction.
Bob the Drag Queen
I missed every deadline.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Except the last one, obviously.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But see, That's. Editors know that.
Bob the Drag Queen
They must know.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Of course they know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I started writing and then we had a lockdown. I started writing this on episode one. I got the deal on season one, episode one, filming of We're Here. And then after that, when I started writing this book, Trump was president. And when the book was released, he was president again. Trump, Biden, Trump.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's 17 years. Oh, wait, no, that's.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's four.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Four. Yeah, four. That's what I meant for.
Bob the Drag Queen
For you do math.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Four.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, you know, feels. I don't do the Eurocentric math.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Thank you.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do, I do. I do a different kind of math that we. That we studied here in the States.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Black Jibra.
Bob the Drag Queen
Exactly. Yeah. No, but it took me four years to finish the book. Five years if you include the audiobook.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Did you like doing the audiobook?
Bob the Drag Queen
I. I'm glad that I did it. Have you ever done an audiobook before?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I have.
Bob the Drag Queen
Reading an audiobook is not like reading a book. No, it's. If you. If you sit in your home and you read a book you think you like, that's. I basically did an audiobook. It is not. You have to get it word perfect. You can't stutter, you can't gibber. And there's someone there being like you said. And instead of a. You said the. Instead of the. You said go to the store. Instead of go to store. And like. And it's like, do you want. Did you want it to be like that? Did you want to mispronounce that word?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I have never met a person who was so attentive and so vigilant.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Literally, like, she would stop me every fucking 10 seconds because I. It was so diabolical. I felt like I was illiterate. I felt like I had no.
Bob the Drag Queen
There comes a point where you were like, em, like you're reading, but you don't even register that you're reading anymore because you've been reading for so long. What I meant to say was the most impressive part of this book is that my publisher just told me that we are on our eighth reprint, which is. He was saying most books don't even 90s.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But you had 10 at a time, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, no, this. The eighth book. The eighth book is that. No, most books. One at a time. I have a 8th book. Most books don't even get one reprint. 90% of books don't even get one Reprint. I am on my 8th reprint of this book.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Congrat. Fucking latience.
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
New York Times bestseller novel Mama Non fiction.
Bob the Drag Queen
Nonfiction? No, fiction. Do you know words?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I was going to say. I was thinking, like, oh, wait, what do you.
Bob the Drag Queen
Was I what?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I was trying to make a really bad joke about Indian fiction.
Bob the Drag Queen
Let's not. Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Fiction. Now listen. Fiction.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I really. I definitely decided to take a crazy route in writing this book.
Katya Zamolodchikova
For sure, though, I really have to thank you because we do not need another drag memoir.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what I said. I was offered a drag memoir, of course, and I was like, I don't want to write about my life. I think you guys think it's more interesting than it really is. They're like, no, you have to be living the crowd. I'm like, yo, I go home, I play video games. I come back to work and I. Everything else I'm doing. You're seeing it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hello.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're seeing all of it. I'm on the podcast. I do fucking three podcasts a week. You already know what I'm doing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I wish. I have to literally go out and make. Make new stories.
Bob the Drag Queen
I also think that my more interesting stuff is ahead of me. You're in your 40s. How old are you?
Katya Zamolodchikova
43.
Bob the Drag Queen
43. I'm 39. I'll be 40 next year. You know what's kind of crazy? I think around 43 to 50, you can actually. I would say around 38. You can officially say I have more days behind me than I have ahead of me. Isn't that kind of crazy?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Not necessarily true, but how old do.
Bob the Drag Queen
You want to be?
Katya Zamolodchikova
That is a great. Now, that's a great question. I have. I had a great dance teacher in school who was a very wise, incredible woman, and she. I'll never forget. I always keep this in the back of my mind. She says her 40s were her 40s and most of her 50s were fucking stellar.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Because she was. It was like the intersection of a maturity, a wisdom. The body was still very capable, but it was. There was a. Like, you weren't flailing it around. Like, you know, you were taking care of it.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you see stuff you used to do on stage and then think to yourself how, like, there's, like. Like, there's this drag queen back in the day. She was sent out of New York City because she tried to stab her boyfriend, allegedly. So she's, like, run out of the city. Like, she got arrested, and then she got out of jail, and then she, like, fled to go to Florida. That's where you go 40s when you're stabbing. You go down there. She's probably in her 40s. Now she's probably my age or a little bit older.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Maybe that was a result of her.
Jinkx Monsoon
Being in her 40s or.
Bob the Drag Queen
I do not know why she tried to stab her partner.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Did you say that? Why did you bring that up?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know. Oh, this thing where she would jump in the air.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Her cooter slam wasn't her. Her equivalent of the cooter slam was jumping in the air as high as she could and then landing on her knees. Like, landing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Mama, no. Oh, baby. When I see it, it's like. So I, I, I know about dance and actual dance before I learned about drag. And this death drop move is nobody should ever have been. This should not be a move.
Bob the Drag Queen
And doing it on your knees is even worse. I feel if I jumped in the air knees, I would explode.
Katya Zamolodchikova
We do not with our knees. Our knees are a hinge joint. And anybody who's had a knee replacement will tell you it is a fate worse than death.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can we cut to Sher vine here talking about how no. Sherry vine was saying she had a knee replacement and then JKB had a hip replacement. So she was like, well, my friend had a hip replacement. It's the same thing. The doctor's like, no, it's not, baby.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, it's not.
Bob the Drag Queen
He was like, it's nothing like that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hip replacement is a sprained finger. A knee replacement is like head chopped off.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. He was like. He was like, you will not recover the way your friend recovered, and it is not the same thing. You will not be having the same experience. I assure you it is not like a hip replacement.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I always forget I had a hip replacement. Always.
Bob the Drag Queen
I forgot you had a hip replacement.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You're joking because I mention it all the time.
Bob the Drag Queen
I really forgot.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Me too. I really forgot my knees. Cunty.
Bob the Drag Queen
Which hip?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't know. Your guess is another.
Bob the Drag Queen
You woke up, they were like, we're going to pick one.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, you know what?
Bob the Drag Queen
My hip is still hers, but we picked the other one.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know what happened, though? I was in Singapore. I was. Did not. You know, I didn't warm up at all at the end of the show. I did the very thing. I jumped up, landed in a split. Didn't. That didn't stop there. I did a thing when I bounce, bounce, bounce, and I bounce in a circle, like, to do like the clock. And then I drag my to that stage and drag it back here. The first bound.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like a Roomba.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Swiffer, Swiffer, Swiffer. And then I The first landing, I heard a something untoward.
Bob the Drag Queen
Click, clack. That's the sound of a sling bag.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I was like, ooh, that sounds like a muscular tear. Let me keep. Like, I had to take. I had to get a wheelchair the next day at the airport.
Bob the Drag Queen
The one time I did a split, back when I could do split, you know? Do you still do those?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'm trying to do straddle splits now.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay? Some people never learn. I was doing. So now I'm just slamming it. Like, just bam, bam.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, I don't want to do it on stage. Just for my, like, personal enjoyment. Got it. It's the only goal I have in.
Bob the Drag Queen
My life, right, Is to get to a straddle split. Only goal back when I could do a split. I remember I was at the club out of drag. I was maybe 23, 24, dancing, and then this guy came up and started dancing, like, against me. Like, I was like, oh, we're having a little dance off. This is. This could be cute and fun. He's doing his moves, and then I was eating him up. And then he pulled out a fan. This is before everyone was clacking the fans and he was clacking, and everyone's going crazy. He flipped it. He caught it, and I was like, I have to one up him. So, baby, I went up. I jumped up. I spread those legs in the air. I landed. I said, I hit that split. And as soon as I got down there, I was like, something has happened. Something has happened. And then I could not get up, but I couldn't stop dancing, so I started doing floor work.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Married. I know this.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's like I hit the floor. I move. And then I. And then as the crowd was going crazy, crazy, I took his fan, I clacked it, and then I crawled to the bathroom, closed the. I literally crawled to the bathroom, closed the door behind me, rang. My friend said, girl, come in here and get me. I. I literally can't stand up. I have to bike it in.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Icy hot in a wheelchair.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have to get out of here. So I. I.
Katya Zamolodchikova
He.
Bob the Drag Queen
He. My friend Frosty Flakes. Shout out to Frosty Flakes. Created a diversion. I crawled to the bathroom. I crawled from the bathroom to the. The taxi. Yellow taxis, pre Uber.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Damn.
Bob the Drag Queen
Got in the taxi, crawled into the car, took me uptown, crawled into my apartment, up four flights of stairs. Literally no elevator. That's insane. And it was no elevator. It was lit. I had to crawl up with my. It was. It was insane.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's horrible.
Bob the Drag Queen
All because this. This guy brought Out a fan.
Katya Zamolodchikova
See, when you dance battles, nothing ever good happens. Julia Styles, you're going to dance. She really thought she was eating.
Bob the Drag Queen
Julia Styles. That movie was so insane.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, it was bad.
Bob the Drag Queen
Save the last dance.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Save the last dance. That was a crazy. And I guess were we to believe, like, this is eating.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I think it was very. It was very, like, 2.0 of, like, teen Witch. Like, top that. Yeah, it was very. That kind of level of cringe. At the time, I thought they were being fierce.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is Trixie open about the surgery? Are you breaking the news?
Katya Zamolodchikova
The plugs or the tummy tuck? She don't want me talking. She does not want me to talk about the tummy tuck. But the plug, she's fine with. I don't know where they're gonna get these plugs. She's bald as hell.
Bob the Drag Queen
Wait, is she really getting a tummy tuck?
Katya Zamolodchikova
She's trying to get it. No, no, no. She's trying to get the. I mean, I, I have. I'm very, very suspicious about the plugs. The tummy tuck's gonna die.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm getting the plug soon.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. And Monet got a tummy tuck. Actually, she opened up about it. I can now say it. Monet got a tummy tuck on when she went and got her lipo.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Every single person on this earth who has ever had any affiliation whatsoever with Drag Race has had the turkey treatment.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm going to Beverly Hills.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Miss Fame went to New York.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. And Jinx went to Seattle. They smear hummus over your head.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They just put, like.
Bob the Drag Queen
And white people do a drum circle and they pray. The witches pray that your hair grows and it works. And now she's on Broadway.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Just hemp dreads.
Bob the Drag Queen
Exactly, exactly.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, I. It's funny because I, I, I. Well, I never had good hair to begin with, so I've never even fantasized whatsoever or been even a little bit jealous or like, or yearning for that kind of. Because I don't want the hair that I had. When I was young, I used to.
Bob the Drag Queen
Have beautiful long hair, really down. Like Vivica Fox down. No, like, like, like, I mean, rest in peace, Malcolm Juwan Warner. Or like, I had long locks, like, down to hair. Beautiful. Like. Yeah, he had locks in, like, the early 2000s. Yeah, he just passed away recently. It was so crazy.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Really?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, he. I think he drowned.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The old huxtable.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. Damn. I think he drowned. Yeah. In the Cayman Islands.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, God.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It wasn't like, in a. One of those whirlpools or Riptides.
Bob the Drag Queen
I just saw. I just saw a TikTok about getting caught in a. In a sink. Not like the holes they put in the middle of. You know, they put these holes in lakes to keep them from overflowing. You know about this? They will install a hole in a lake to keep it from overflowing. The water shoots down and it goes out somewhere else. And then this woman was like, I want to go see the hole girl. She was the last thing she ever saw.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You don't do that shit. You don't fuck with Ms. Water.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't. I do not get in the ocean. You will never catch me in the ocean.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The only thing I'm. I will get into the ocean. If it's like Ginger Rogers beach, everybody's gay. You know what I mean? It's just like you dip your toes in that freezing ass cold water or you're in Thailand and you just go up to your. You know, it's like warm. Whatever. I don't fuck with lakes. That's scummy, nasty bullshit.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not getting on lake.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Sometimes I don't even get in pools because I'm afraid of sharks.

This episode of the Bald and the Beautiful is sponsored by Airbnb. Last spring, I took an impromptu vacation and wandered to a secluded island retreat in the shimmering Pacific Ocean. It was a place I found on Airbnb where palm trees whispered in the breeze and the horizon resembled liquid gold. At dawn. While sipping my coffee on the beach one morning, I had an epiphany. My own home could welcome travelers of its own while I'm away. Why should I let its velvety comfort sit idle when I could host it on Airbnb? I could share every mysterious corner and moonlit balcony while I journey across the globe and earn extra income to fund my dreams, such as the bathroom remodel I've long imagined. A glorious multi jetted stone shower and a black toilet. As dramatic as can be, hosting on Airbnb is practical and above all else, smart. Whether you're off to fashion week in Milan or a quiet mountain hamlet in Europe, you too could host your home on Airbnb. Let your home earn for you while you chase your horizons, and perhaps finally build that magical bathroom of your most exquisite dreams. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much@airbnb.com host this episode of the Bald and the Beautiful is brought to you by BetterHelp. Captain's log, day 497. Suspended above the marble swirl of Earth, I drift. One contemplative mind in an infinite amphitheater of stars. Up here on the International Space Station, silence acquires the eloquence of a cathedral. Yet tonight, as we approach World Mental health day on October 10th, I send this transmission to all earthbound souls to utter a simple, profound salute. Thank you, therapists. Better Help's licensed therapists serve as unseen mission control for over 5 million odysseys of the psyche. They are cartographers of the inner cosmos who pose the right question with comment like precision. They offer a gravitational well of safety in which to shed tears and pilot delicate course corrections capable of altering an entire life's trajectory. In my own orbital sessions, one quiet inquiry from a therapist broke through the cosmic hush and. And steadied my course. It reminded me that no true signal is ever irretrievably lost. Better Help makes finding that guiding signal effortless. A brief questionnaire. 12 plus years of refined matching experience and a therapist match commitment as exacting as a deep space docking maneuver. And should the initial alignment falter, you may switch to a new therapist at any time. No cosmic recalibration required. So this World Mental Health Day, let us honor the quiet navigators who keep minds aloft and hearts in orbit. Commence your own voyage and allow a therapist to help chart your celestial path even amongst the infinite stars. None of us is meant to voyage the galaxy alone.

Well, go. That's disgusting. But I wore. I never forget. I wore fishnets to wood shop once. I'll never. And I will Never.
Bob the Drag Queen
Did you get caught up in the. In the.

Katya Zamolodchikova
No, I'm the opposite. I want everybody. You want to humiliate? No, I want everybody to feel great and proud and wonderful about themselves.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, you know, I was. I went. I got it. I caught. I caught a ride home with this guy who had the teeny tiny little micro peak penis. Then I know that he wanted me to do that. I would not oblige.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, he wanted you to shame his penis?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, of course he did.
Bob the Drag Queen
But. But it would have made him feel good to make him feel bad.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But I don't. But that doesn't make me feel good. It's a two way street and I'm not gonna jerk him off like this like he's a Lego.
Bob the Drag Queen
So what did you do?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I. I looked at. And I was like. And he was like. He drove me home.
Bob the Drag Queen
But how does that make him feel? Good. I think you gave him the king shame. He won it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I mean, I do. I wasn't like looney tunes like that. I was. I was like. And then I could just projectile vomited the entire way home. No.
Bob the Drag Queen
I look up with a few men with micro penises. I've never been a size queen, though.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Mean girl. You could be hung like an elevator button. It's all about what's in the back for me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, nice. I know you were ass, woman.

Bob the Drag Queen
This is just Trixie lip syncing on dragon.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Shut the up, Mary. Watch. Catch this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, that's a wagon.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's a deep freezer hanging out of a minivan.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, this man is dragging a wagon. For sure.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Mama. The way that I would clap those cheeks like it was the. I mean, it just.
Bob the Drag Queen
So what do. What makes a nice butt? What makes a butt where. Where you're like. That's the one.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hairless. Oh, actually, that's not true because I did have sex with a hooker recently and he had a big hairy butt, which I don't prefer, only just because I don't like. I'm like Harry. I would like. My dream butt is smooth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he was extraordinarily well groomed in terms of hygiene. He had cleaned out like it was his last night on earth and so.
Bob the Drag Queen
I, I, it might have been. Have you called him back? Well, I haven't, I haven't heard from.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Him since I ate his ass. Like it was my last meal on death row. And like, it was lovely. But I. By my dream ass is like, tan, huge, smooth, and like, you know, like that.
Bob the Drag Queen
Jason Momoa, I have an appreciation for a lot of different butts. Right. I like a wagon, like a big, like, sticking out the back of your, like a shelf put on it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Unbelievable. Yeah, breakfast tray.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, the airline charges you extra for carry on.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's the cart.
Bob the Drag Queen
I love that as well. But then also a little butt. Like, if it's like a little butt, I like a little. But I'm not into like a concave booty.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, no, no, no. Extended back. We don't know.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm not into that. But, but like a little butt, like a little cuppage with a little, With a bit. With baby shelf on the bottom. Yeah, I like a shelf on the top, but if there's a little baby shelf on the bottom, I'm also happy with that as well. If you have a flat ass, I prefer you have like, like ladylike hips.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Sure.
Bob the Drag Queen
So then it looks like it's giving the ass more shape than it is. But also if the ass is completely flat, once they're like all the way bent over it, it kind of all just blends into one.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They got to get on top. Yeah, yeah, they gotta get on top. I can't hit it from the back. It looks like I'm like, it's Mr. Bojangles with skeleton or whatever. But I actually, it's funny you mentioned that because I don't go for skinny, skinny guys, but I did have a fuck buddy for a while who was very, very thin, but he had, he.
Bob the Drag Queen
Had some, Some dumpage.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Some major damage. Like you could really, like get two handfuls, which is like, oh, that's lovely. And it was very, it was genetic, you know.

What Size of your hands? Pretty average size hands.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they were like, it was, he had like, short.
Bob the Drag Queen
You're not short.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'm 5, 9 or 5, 10.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's average.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, every. I'm like, totally average. And that he, but he was like six, two, skinny as fuck. And. But he had a little, it was like, oh, lovely. So I had like.
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like you have good. Your body is very resilient.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Are you kidding me? The shit that I put it through 20 years ago.
Bob the Drag Queen
Aren't these, like, Aren't these like, notoriously your real teeth?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's crazy.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know. And I. It's funny. I have the teeth anxiety. So in. I told them story before, but in Boston, I. At the height of. I mean, I was very like everyday meth user, like, very, very, very intense. Seven years ago, not going to the dentist. And when I got sober, I was like, I have to go to the dentist. And I was like, they're going to take out all my teeth. They're going to take out all my teeth. Not one cavity.
Bob the Drag Queen
They're like, gang, gang.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They were like, these are beautiful. They just need to floss more.
Bob the Drag Queen
We're going to recommend your program to other people, actually.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I was like, they're like, keep doing math. No, I'm just kidding.
Bob the Drag Queen
I got to say this. I. When I first got sober, I talked to my sponsor and. And I was like, this applies to you. And it is a compliment, by the way. But I was like. I remember talking to him, I was like, you're a little nutty. And then he looked at me, he said, well, I smoke crack every day for 10 years, girl. He's like, so you're going to lose something you just can't get back.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I mean, I always say, you know, it's funny, whenever I go to a meeting, it's like I always have to remind myself if it's boring or if it's a little. If it's not, you know, not dazzlingly entertaining. I'm like, it's a fucking miracle that all these crackheads didn't erupt into some kind of like, ballroom blitz type of, like, rumble kind of. You know what I mean? That it actually.
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, you haven't heard about the Paris street meetings?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No.
Bob the Drag Queen
New York City has a meeting called Paris street where, like, the. The legend is like, you. You go to parish, you want to go. Did anyone throw a chair? That's what they always say. Did anyone throw a chair or Midnight. I think one of the crazy things I saw at midnight was this guy was like. He was basically like, this is this 30? This guy was like, I. Today's my first day back. I woke up in the hospital and my foot was gone. I got drunk and I fell on the subway platform. And then the next thing I knew, I woke up in the hospital and I had one foot. This is one day back. My name is so and so. I'm an alcoholic. Thank you for letting me talk. And that's it. I was like, you know what? I think I'm done. I think it's a wrap for me. I don't think I need anymore. Anymore. He popped that nub up there.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Bam.
Bob the Drag Queen
In the chair in front of him. On the back of the person sitting on their shoulder. No, it was on the chair. And he popped the nub up and he showed us all that nub. Still bandaged.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Mary, what if he was, like, so flexible. He was just like.
Bob the Drag Queen
What is the line in Mommy Dearest where she's in the mirror and she lifts her leg up to her face?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't remember.
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't love Mommy Dearest like some gays do, but that one scene is pretty iconic. Is there a gay movie that you're like, why do y' all like this movie?

Today's episode of Bald and the Beautiful is brought to you by ro. Seeking healthcare is not always about physical health. It's also about how you show up at work and your relationships with with yourself. I know for me with my arthritis, like learning to manage chronic pain and finding out that like arthritis and chronic pain is all not only affected by how I feel, but also affects how I feel, right? It's like a feedback loop. And RO makes it simple to get started with their free insurance checker to help people regain confidence and start feeling like themselves again sooner. How many people delay seeking healthcare because obviously they want help, but they're overwhelmed with the whole system, the fine print, endless calls, confusion about what's covered, wait times, you know, having to like it should be so much. And RO clears that path by starting with free insurance. Check to see which, if any, GLP1 medications are covered by insurance. No guesswork, no hassle, so you can feel good about taking the next step. Also, life is already complicated. I'm sorry, I'm a grown person. I love myself. But I will say sometimes taking the best care of myself can be at least annoying and at best completely like a hard stop. If I'm not sure what to do or I'm overwhelmed by the process, I'm just, you know. And life is already complicated. So when your health goals take a back seat because of insurance complexity, it's easy to feel very stuck. So Rose Insurance Checker is built to unstick that moment. It's free, it's simple, and it's built to help people move forward. For example, if you want to find out if you're eligible for GLP1 for free, no paperwork, no hassle, no waiting on hold. You'll get a comprehensive report from ro's Insurance Checker on your coverage details so you can make decisions that are right for you and your goals. In fact, nearly half of all ROE members have insurance coverage. When you become a ROE member, you'll have support throughout the process. You'll have access to your provider on demand. For any questions, join over the half million people who've trusted ROE to check their coverage for free. Go to ROALD for your free insurance check. That's R O N.

Maybe if they were hot and poor. That's when you really got the bone to pick, because you're gonna take that little ugly ass to the. To the. To the.
Bob the Drag Queen
And being an ugly kid is probably only bad up until, like, maybe like. Well, it starts being bad around 5 years old because no one cares about if you're ugly. And you're like three or four other kids don't really register. You're not pretty.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know a child. I won't say who.
Bob the Drag Queen
Probably safe, but. And then, you know, it's probably a good, good tactic.
Katya Zamolodchikova
There was a child in the family.
Bob the Drag Queen
Who was in your family, who was hit.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Who was toe up. Who was fe.
Bob the Drag Queen
In your family. They know. They all know who you're talking about.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, they don't, because I told you I have 60,000 cousins on that side.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's true. And a lot of ug mama.
Katya Zamolodchikova
This. This child was. It was. It was. It's crazy because I'm trying not to gender. I'm trying to keep it general, but how you view. But it was like. Like, it was like a jump. Scare. Jump scare. It was a bird. It was a.
Bob the Drag Queen
As a baby.
Katya Zamolodchikova
A baby. It was the ugliest baby ever known.
Bob the Drag Queen
How old is. Is the child over 10 now?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Still hit.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not. Not on the COVID of Sports Illustrated or on Men's Health magazine, but on.
Bob the Drag Queen
The COVID of Monsters, Inc.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Exactly.
Bob the Drag Queen
Scare Mag.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Yeah. Not in the terrifier with no prosthetics.
Bob the Drag Queen
I have a cousin that I don't like, and it feels bad because the cousin is my cousin's child. So it's my. My baby cousin.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, girl, who gives a fuck?
Bob the Drag Queen
But I don't like. I've never liked this cousin who cares about cousins. But because they're a child, like the. Because I don't like. Because I never.
Katya Zamolodchikova
How old?
Bob the Drag Queen
They're now an adult. They're now a very young. A very young adult. I don't want to give the cousin.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Let'S say some, like, teenage 20. Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Enough to have a conversation. Old enough to have a conversation. Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I. And I feel justified because I still don't like this cousin. Like, I still think that they're super fucking annoying. And they never grew out of that thing that they had. And at first I felt bad. Cause I was like, I don't like this six year old. Like, whoa, I hate, I hate this. Like. And it wasn't like, this is an annoying kid. It was like, I do not like this kid. Like, I hope this kid's not there when I get to the thing. I hate this kid. And now I don't like this adult. I do not like this adult. And they're so fucking annoying. And. But I will say now I feel justified because that they, they have grown to an adult that I also don't like.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right?
Bob the Drag Queen
But if I did feel bad disliking.
Katya Zamolodchikova
This child, I understand that. I mean, like, I, I had. My nephew was like, so. And continues to be my other nephew. My brother's son was like a terror. Now he is one of the cutest, smartest, funniest, like, but he was a terror. Terror. Terror the terrifier. From like the jump even in, in the, in the belly terrifier. But now this kid is like, so he's just going to be amazing. You can tell. But it was challenging. Like, you go, I go visit. And he has like, imagine if I took all the meth in the world. I still wouldn't be able to catch up with him. He was so. When you weren't energetic, when you weren't.
Bob the Drag Queen
An amateur phlebotomist as a child, were you a terror or were you like, lovely, thank you. I'll be here all week.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Where does that word come from?
Bob the Drag Queen
I don't know.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's so wild. Just say blood draw.
Bob the Drag Queen
You know, it's very weird.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay, I. I was. Apparently I was a very quiet baby. And I was, I was shy and I was, I would kept to myself. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't. I mean, apparently I kicked my neighbor. I need my neighbor in the balls because I didn't want to watch ET but that was the only thing I ever acted out.
Bob the Drag Queen
You hate all the classics. ET Lion King.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I've never seen it. Don't want to. Not interested.
Bob the Drag Queen
Boop. When I was a kid, apparently I was a monstrous child. My mother, famous. My mother famous, said, if you were my firstborn child, your brother never would have been born. You were that bad of a child.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But then, like, how. What? Like noisy?
Bob the Drag Queen
Cried a lot. I used to snatch my mom's earrings out of her ears. And I don't mean like pull them with the back, I mean like through two flaps of Skin dangling, you wouldn't have survived. I had an obsession with flushing things down the toilet.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You. So you were the terrifier.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was a terrifier. I. I talked non stop. Every. Everyone in my poor car said, christopher is a great kid. He just will not stop talking. I had a nickname. The librarians called me the detective. They go, oh, here comes the detective asking questions. Watch out, here come the detective, y'.
Katya Zamolodchikova
All.
Bob the Drag Queen
But.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So you're like Motormouth Babel.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah. But somewhere around seventh grade, I became a. I became a lovely child. Became exemplary around seventh grade. And then my brother did a little flip flop. My brother was a quiet kid. He did a flip flop, started running with the wrong crowd, which my mother kept being like, Justin, keep getting me stuff. The wrong crowd said M. He is the wrong crowd.
Katya Zamolodchikova
He is the leader of the crowd.
Bob the Drag Queen
There's no way every crowd he's in is wrong. Justin is the wrong crowd.
Katya Zamolodchikova
We were all like, me, my brother, my sister and I were. Were raised to. Okay, so we were raised with some very, very core principles that we cleave to. Like, like, non stop politeness. We. I had friends who would tell their parents to shut the up. That, to me, is unconscionable.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's why black kids. That's how black kids think white kids talk to their parents.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, Mary, it was. You would. You would gag because these two would talk to their parents like they. It was crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
It's very Boston, though.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't know. This was evil. This was something more. This was. This wasn't like, ma, what the you talking about? This was like, you're a stupid, fudgeing bitch. Like, it was that crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
But you all know what the rest of the country thinks about Boston, all right? You know how we feel about y'. All.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, you're not better than me. Yeah, Like. But. But so. But we were. I was, like, troubled in the sense that I was, like, smoking pot in seventh grade. I was doing drugs. I was, like, misbehaving, but not. But not like, hurting anybody.
Bob the Drag Queen
Except when you were drinking, when you were. Well, that was puncturing your friends.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I would say hurting was just sensations.
Bob the Drag Queen
Were you. And you were. They were consensually doing this. You all. Can you talk me through the process? Was it. Was it like, slice, suck?
Katya Zamolodchikova
So well, there was a scrap your knee.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can I. Can I get it? Can I get it?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, I didn't. I didn't love the taste of it. I was obsessed with vampires. And then also I wanted to be like an Anne Rice vampire. Like, like, hairless, bisexual. But I was in study hall once, and I had a straight razor and actually, I think you can see.
Jinkx Monsoon
Still see.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I think you can still see where it is. It was a huge gash.
Bob the Drag Queen
You did this in class?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I did it in class, and it was very scary because it was. I can't see.
Bob the Drag Queen
Is it this? Oh, no, that's the text.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, it was. It must have been here. You can see those a little bit.
Bob the Drag Queen
You are so vascular. Jesus Christ.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know. It's crazy. Look at that. Phlebotomous dream.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yep.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hello. Thank you.
Bob the Drag Queen
But, I mean, see you coming.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I did. I did, like, a super deep gash, and it was like I could see the layers of tissue, and that was kind of like. Because I loved biology and anatomy, physiology. I got a pluses and all those. I love dissecting shit. That was kind of the. I didn't want to, like, hurt myself because I was troubled. I just wanted to carve my. Carve my shit up, chop it up.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's a little bit of a red flag.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's a huge. Well, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. It's a little Dexter y. Could you make it as a serial killer, Girl?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No. I don't like hurting people.
Bob the Drag Queen
Not even to, like, help other people.
Katya Zamolodchikova
If they're already dead? I'll fuck them. No, I don't like. I hate pain. I hate. The thing that is the biggest turn off for me is inflicting pain on someone else. That is just so heartbreaking to me.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's valid and fair.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Like, I don't.
Bob the Drag Queen
So you can't spank.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I can spank. I can spank. Because. But, I mean, girl, my spank is so Mary Poppins. Like, come on.
Bob the Drag Queen
One time, me and my partner were hooking up with someone else, and this person liked to be spanked. And I mean, like, brutalized. Like.
Katya Zamolodchikova

Bob the Drag Queen
And this person was. They were.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's not a punishment.
Bob the Drag Queen
They were. They still are South Asian, so they had very, like, dark brown skin. They're like. You need to be able to see it, so you have to work harder because of how dark their skin was. And I was like, you know, giving it and giving it. And they were like, you do it, too. And he was not into it. And I'll never forget him just being.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Like, girl, that's like me when I tried to slap somebody. Oh, baby.
Bob the Drag Queen
You wanna hear a crazy story?
Katya Zamolodchikova
It was so pathetic.

One time during rehearsal, Madonna slapped Me as a bitch. As a bitch. We were doing thing. It wasn't hard. It was. It was like this. It was like. She was like, blah, blah, blah. And we were doing the scene where we were arguing in the scene. And she was like. Like that. And I'm in the face. Yeah. And I was like. I was like, ah. And then she goes, I'm sorry. You can slap me back.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's a setup.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I said, but that's a setup. I said, okay. And she was. And I said, I'm.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You're like.
Bob the Drag Queen
And she goes, no, slap me. I want you to slap me. Slap me. I slapped you, and that was wrong. So you slap me.

Katya Zamolodchikova
Slap me. I don't like this at all.
Bob the Drag Queen
I want you to slap me. And then I did it one more time, but a little bit harder. But what?
Katya Zamolodchikova

Bob the Drag Queen
It was like, I did like this. I did like this.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Ow.
Bob the Drag Queen
And she was like, no. Slap.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Are you kidding me? More than that.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I was like, I don't want to slap mama.
Katya Zamolodchikova
We're not doing that.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was like, whatever. Let's just keep moving. Like she wanted me to slap the shit out of her.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Can I tell you what I was like? So we were doing a choking thing, which I'm so bad at. Can I do it? Like, so imagine, like, you're. You're on top of me, real having sex.
Bob the Drag Queen
And I was like, am I writing you?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes.
Bob the Drag Queen
Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And. And then it was like, it was so pathetic. I, like, I. I. I kind of chickened out. And. And I was like.

Bob the Drag Queen
There was one time when a guy was riding me, and I was like, choke me. I like. I like. If you're riding, just reach down and do a little chokey.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Chokey. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen

Katya Zamolodchikova
Get a grip.
Bob the Drag Queen
And he. He would pull some of your. He was like. I was like, chok me.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. I would rather put the fingers in the mouth or something like that.
Bob the Drag Queen
I could show, but this.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I can't do this.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What the Is that? What are we doing? What are we doing?
Bob the Drag Queen
They want to feel exposed. Yeah, they want to feel exposed.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Is that all about.
Bob the Drag Queen
They want to feel exposed. Like they want you to see.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, why don't you just put one of those dental things. You see all the teeth?
Bob the Drag Queen
I've been with one of those.
Katya Zamolodchikova
All right.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, I've been one of those.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You like giving head?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah. You don't?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't. Not really.
Bob the Drag Queen
You like getting head. You want to eat the ass, and then that's kind of all I want. And then top.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I, I want to eat the ass. I suck the balls. Maybe I wanna. I love kissing. I, I, I, I'll suck a dick for sure. But, like, I, I'm not. I don't think I'm all that great at it. And I don't. Like, I can't.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like, I love to suck dick. I love to eat pussy. I love to be down there giving someone head and just, like, making them happy with my mouth. It really brings me a lot of joy. It really does.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I can't believe I have not fucked a pussy. I just wish I had a pussy. Oh, my God. If I had a pussy, y' all would not stand a chance. If I had a pussy, none of you would be here. You would have all quit. You would have all retired.
Bob the Drag Queen
Everyone always says that if I had a pussy. But, like, there are people with pussies who. We all are still around.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know that gif of the girl with the legs out the window of the moving car, squirting, baby. It would be water rolling. Kevin Costner.
Bob the Drag Queen
I feel like I was like, if I had a pussy, guys. Like, if I had a pussy, honey.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But, like, you better thank your lucky stars every day when you get on your knees, you better say, thank God that she don't have a pussy, because it would be a rap. Simone Biles wouldn't be able to do gymnastics. Girl, nobody would be at the Olympics. Not with this fucking pussy. What?
Bob the Drag Queen
Air traffic control has been shut down. Why? Because Katya has a pussy.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Chicago O' Hare, gone. JFK no longer a service. LaGuardia never existed.
Bob the Drag Queen

I understand. I caught on to what full body chills. I don't watch a ton of bald and beautiful, but I'm willing to catch on to the. To the. Trixie Katie is not a thing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It. This is not our thing. It's Jamie Lee.
Bob the Drag Queen
But y' all have adopted it. It's. It's kind of like, like, you all adopt things.

First of all, Cynthia was amazing. When I tell you Cynthia was amazing. It was amazing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Talk about bald and beautiful.
Bob the Drag Queen
No one's talking about Raul Espara.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The. The. The review did very much so.
Bob the Drag Queen
When I tell you he was the best part of that show. Raul.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Cynthia retired.
Bob the Drag Queen
She was great. She was great.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
No one is talking about Raul Espal.

Katya Zamolodchikova
Seen the Lion King?
Bob the Drag Queen

Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, see, that's the. Yeah. Incredible.
Bob the Drag Queen
Beautiful. Beautiful. Raul.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Raul, you better do that thing. You better pray. You better thank your lucky stars I don't have a pussy, because you would not have the range, honey. You would not have the range.
Bob the Drag Queen
So I got to the Hollywood bowl, and I sit next to this lady who.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Wait. So first of all. Hold on. Let me. Let me rub it. Are you in those tiny little folding chairs in those cement.
Bob the Drag Queen
I'm in the folding chairs.
Katya Zamolodchikova
There is about a half inch between each person.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Claustrophobia.
Bob the Drag Queen
Surrounded by snacks. My snacks. And then the guy behind me has the moves. I have to pick up my entire kitchen with me, smush my chair up also.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's the stress factor. How do.
Bob the Drag Queen
How should I feel about this? Because the part of me that. That loves to say no to people was like, the guy. I show up, he's sitting in my seat.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, baby.
Bob the Drag Queen
So there's six of them. There's six in this little box. He's in the back left corner where I. The ticket I purchased. His seat was front and center. It is a better seat. But the part of me that's like. But who gives you the authority to take my seat because you want to sit next to your friends? Part of me was like, you need to move. But also, I had a better seat. So I Let it go. Surrounded by my snacks. This lady next to me, she is this sweet lady. And I was like. She was like, oh. She sparked up a conversation. So I was like, hey, do you love. I see. I'm a big fan of Jesus Christ, but I know every word to the show. I loved it. I've loved this show since I was in high school. I'm obsessed with this show. And she was like, I am a big fan of Raul Esparza. I said, oh, great. That's really cool. And then out of nowhere, she just goes. She just told me this random. She was like, my husband's gay, but she, like, had tears in her eyes. And I was like. And I was like, oh, my God. And then she was like, I've never told anyone that. I have never. I told her about. We're here. And then she was like, I've never told anyone what I just told you before. I don't know what it is. I just trust you to tell you this. And then her and I had this, like, really moving conversation about how she was. She was. She had a hearing aid in. She was. I just recently, I'm finally in a point in my life where I can afford to go travel and see things. And I have a few years until I can't hear anything anymore. So I'm going to see every play, concert, every show. I want to hear everything. I'm so glad Katya doesn't have a.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Pussy, because I was just about to say, girl. She. It would be like, no Helen Keller.
Bob the Drag Queen
And then so we had this crazy conversation about her, and her and I were, like, having this great. And then a seat. Oh, I know you're not a Broadway girl. This May. This name might mean nothing to you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know a little bit.
Bob the Drag Queen

Katya Zamolodchikova
Then don't tell it. Don't air her laundry out which she said, I wish Katya didn't have a pussy. What happened?
Bob the Drag Queen
Well, me and Marissa J went on. I was like, we can bleep it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
If you really don't believe it.
Bob the Drag Queen
I was like, do you know the drag queen Paige Turner? And she goes, I know of Paige Turner. I'm a big fan of Paige Turner. And she described her perfectly. I used to go to her shows all the time in New York City. I was like, yeah, yeah. I was like, she used to be a roommate. And she was like, what? And she's like, paige Turner used to be my roommate. I said, paige Tracy needs to be roommate. She goes, wait, I don't remember Paige Turner, roommate. She's like, what was her real name? And I looked it up and I Googled, oh, her name's Dan. And she was like. So Mercier went, uncle had this roommate named Dan, who. They stopped being roommates. And then, like, the next year, he started doing drag. She became obsessed with his drag queen, went to all of his shows and literally had no way.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But then it was him, roommate, get.
Bob the Drag Queen
The fuck out him for years. Come on.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And.
Bob the Drag Queen
And had no clue that they were the same. She was like, I guess Dan just floated off the face of the earth.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Tootsie. A real life tootsie. Mrs. Doubtfire had no clue. That is crazy. She have cataracts, glaucoma?
Bob the Drag Queen
No, she, by the way, looks great. Marissa. Jared Winokur looks fantastic.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, I know for Marissa.
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, for sure. But that is so funny.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That is crazy.
Bob the Drag Queen
Had no clue that they, like. Imagine if someone was like, imagine if an old friend of yours takes you. I was like, have you heard this drag queen named Katya? I'm obsessed with her.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That would be strange. But only, though, because you do so.
Bob the Drag Queen
Much out of drag.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I could. I mean, let's see. I would never. There's so many girl. There's so many drag queens I don't recognize out of drag that I've seen on the show.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, my favorite moment is. Is when we were in studio. We were in my studio.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hi, how are you?

Bob the Drag Queen
Girl, it was the you on Drag Race.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, not like. No. I said, you what? It wasn't like, not you ugly bitch. It was like, wow, that's a great fact.

Yeah. Okay. Years ago, Violet Chowski, me and her at fucking. I mean, the other show we were.

Trixie and I had been rewatching season seven, and it is truly breathtaking how talented she is. She was at 21. I mean, it was really something. She really. That bitch had a fucking eye. You know, because I always think about this, like, you know, in terms of design challenges and stuff. I need a lot of looking at stuff. I. If I'm. If I.

Construction. Like, I wanna. I'm gonna look at Gautier's Runway from like, whatever, Whatever. I want references. You know what I mean?
Bob the Drag Queen
I am obsessed with this shoe.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, you know what? I love that they're a sling back and that this almost the bottom is because when you're getting fucked, you got them legs up in the air like a pretzel.
Bob the Drag Queen
Do you get fucked in heels?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, but I want to.
Bob the Drag Queen
You deserve it.
Katya Zamolodchikova

It's Nickelodeon, yeah. Rena Snippet was Nickelodeon.

Yeah, but that was very, like, very off the beaten path.
Bob the Drag Queen
It was a cany.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Was disgusting.
Bob the Drag Queen
Ren. Sty was vile.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But. But they had the best life.
Bob the Drag Queen
But it was, like, a little more tame. Down.
Katya Zamolodchikova

Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. They had a product called Log. It was just a log.

Can we. Okay. Since we talk about jingles, I want to have a conversation about the Toys R Us song. I don't Want to Grow up.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'm a Toys R Us kid.
Bob the Drag Queen
They got a billion toys and Toys R Us that I can play with. From bikes to planes to video games. It's the biggest toy store there is. Gee whiz. I don't want to grow up because, baby, if I did, I wouldn't be Toys R Us kid. This was a banger of a song.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't want a. That's for ktia, cuz. No. Yeah.
Bob the Drag Queen
No.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What if ours on the east coast was water Country? When the sun is blazing and the summer gets hot, Water country is a very cool spot. There's no better place to feel. Beyond water country.
Bob the Drag Queen
Have some fun. That bring back the jingle.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Where are they?
Bob the Drag Queen
The TV shows had. The TV shows had. We were watching it for the. We were watching here. Whatever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paper boy and evening tv Fresh Prince. Oh, and it was Philadelphia. Yeah. Born and raised on the playgrounds where I spent most of my days chilling out Max and relaxing, all cool, not slapping Chris Rock outside school. And a couple of guys, they were up to no good. Start to make a dream. See you later. Look at my window. I was finally there to sit on my throne as King of Bel Air.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, the Prince of Bel Air.
Bob the Drag Queen
Good.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But what about the bait and switch of that? I did not appreciate that they.
Bob the Drag Queen
They. That was gaslighting. That was television gaslighting.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And no offense to the. To this. The. The second. Viv. I just loved the first.
Bob the Drag Queen
Oh, originally, did you see. Oh, my God. Did you see the. The reunion where OG and Viv confronted Will Smith about. About how they treated her? Baby, she's hot. She's hot like fish grease. She was like, y' all did me dirty and we need to talk about it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What happened?
Bob the Drag Queen
Y' all replaced me with this light skinned woman.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Why did they replace her?
Bob the Drag Queen
Apparently she was difficult, but. So according to her, Will Smith got her fired.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay.
Bob the Drag Queen
According to her, Will Smith said he didn't like working with her. She stood up for herself too much. She had too much of a. She had too many opinions. She was an established actor. Will Smith was this brand new guy, this new hot young guy on the scene and he was calling all the shots because he was. It was his show.
Katya Zamolodchikova
He was like just a rapper at that point, right?
Bob the Drag Queen
Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was doing rap. Yeah. And then he became. I mean, he was so bad on that show. There were moments where he would, like, if you go back and look, you can see clips of him mouthing people's words as they speak.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, my gosh.
Bob the Drag Queen
Like they're talking like. Like they're talking.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They're just like, oh, probably cue cards too.
Bob the Drag Queen
Probably cue cards, like mouthing their words while they're acting. Damn. It was insane. It was insane. And they. And they did her real dirty. And I do want to do a quick shout out to the Family Matters theme song, too, so.
Jinkx Monsoon
Good.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay. Refresh me.
Bob the Drag Queen
Me is a rare condition. No, no. In that age. Did you read any good news on the newspaper page? Love and condition are the grand design Some people say is even harder to find. Got that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Nobody stood a chance.
Bob the Drag Queen
Everybody killed themselves. They jumped off a bridge. Someone should animate your video. But then it'll be AI Someone to make an AI Video. Bouncing around.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know.
Bob the Drag Queen
Can you describe your pussy to me in the dream scenario?
Katya Zamolodchikova
My pussy is hot, tight, wet. It grips like pliers.
Bob the Drag Queen
You have big lips, you have the squiggles.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Whatever you want. They change all the time.
Bob the Drag Queen

Never choose as a rapper.
Bob the Drag Queen
Pre Google.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Exactly. But. But it's like Kaya. It's like grill. Wait, no. It's like pliers on the dick. It gripped the dick like pliers.
Bob the Drag Queen
That doesn't sound good.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know it sounds painful.
Bob the Drag Queen
That's what you have right now.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Gripping.
Bob the Drag Queen
You have the pliers. You can't even get it in there.
Katya Zamolodchikova
If I did like a clench and.
Bob the Drag Queen
A twist, girl, you're gonna snap it right off. And then you'll get that little blood you've been wanting.
Katya Zamolodchikova
On that note.
Bob the Drag Queen
Thank you, Bob.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Rid of time. I always have the funnest time with you.
Bob the Drag Queen

Bob the Drag Queen

Katya Zamolodchikova
Thank you so much. Slap me off camera, Ram.

Episode Guests: Katya Zamolodchikova, Bob the Drag Queen, (plus cameos by Trixie Mattel and Jinkx Monsoon)
Main Theme: An unfiltered romp through drag queen culture, aging in the queer scene, bodily transformations, sexual confessions, and the wild joys of self-acceptance—plus, Katya’s vivid fantasy of having a vagina.
This episode pairs Katya with the razor-sharp Bob the Drag Queen (with Trixie Mattel away on a “Turkey trip” for hair plugs and possible tummy tucks), for an off-kilter, no-holds-barred confessional. Anchored in the Drag Race world, they spiral through topics of aging, dancing injuries, body image, sex, queer kinship, and pop culture, frequently returning to the running gag: the apocalyptic consequences if Katya were ever blessed with a “pussy.” The episode is filled with raunchy humor, self-deprecation, reminiscence, and subversive insight into queer, drag, and human experience.
The conversation is off-the-cuff, raunchy, and wildly self-aware. Katya and Bob switch rapidly between deadpan shade, confessional sincerity, slapstick vulgarity, and genuine affection for both the drag community and their own personal quirks. No topic is taboo—from foot ailments, awkward sex, and addiction to family drama and bodily autonomy. The recurring joke about the world-stopping consequences if Katya had a vagina gives the entire episode a gleefully absurd through-line.
This episode exemplifies the offbeat, candid spirit of The Bald and the Beautiful. Even as it pivots through the wildest sexual confessions, pop culture commentary, and drag scene drama, it’s ultimately about the joy (and necessity) of self-acceptance, living out loud, and celebrating the queerest parts of ourselves—complete with cackles, filth, and a wink at the world’s hypocrisy.
Listen if you crave:
Absurd confessions, drag queen wisdom, hilarious oversharing, and unvarnished queer truths.
