Brandon
Damn.
Katya Zamolodchikova
We are really. Have you played here before?
Trixie Mattel
I have not. Not in this very theater. No.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I have. Anybody see me? We, like a few years ago me here? No. Nobody. Okay, great. There's a giant pipe organ back there.
Trixie Mattel
Really?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Finally, I have the second biggest organ on stage. Okay. Swear to God, there's an organ. I don't know if they want us to touch it.
Trixie Mattel
Should we do the pipe organ?
Katya Zamolodchikova
There's an organ.
Trixie Mattel
I don't think they. I don't want it, like, impress people too much.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, it's just kind of convenient because something you guys don't know about her is that she actually took 18 years of church organ and she's a little shy.
Trixie Mattel
I just listen. The gospel is sacred. And it's. It's mine. I don't want to force it on people. I play the pipe organ for me. It's for you, for me and for Jesus at home.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Music. Is this a religious country? No, no. However.
Trixie Mattel
However, you better believe I did some research on this country earlier.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hell yes. Hell, yes.
Trixie Mattel
Christianity is the kind of. Christianity is like the thing. But you're not crazy Christians, right? No.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They also speak their own language. Norwegia.
Trixie Mattel
Yes. And they have like 1100 fjords.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The Internet told me that there's two versions of this language, right?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. There's Sexy and spicy, right?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right, America. We can barely do English. We're like, no, everything revolves around me. I'll never learn anything.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, we are really lucky Americans get to be so stupid and still succeed.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But look, they've got the incredible Norwegian air conditioning present tonight. Look at it.
Trixie Mattel
Wow. Oh, my God. It's. Wait a minute, girl. It's almost a little too rich.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know, I have Brandon backstage with my notes and my wine, and I thought, well, if the wine gets brought out, one glass gets. Then you guys are gonna be like, look at that fucking alky. You know what? I. Now Brandon's gonna carry it out as, like a procession to bring me wine.
Trixie Mattel
So, hey, give it up for Brandon.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Is that worse?
Trixie Mattel
But you know what? That is a very classy. Although that is a heavy pour.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Thank you, Brandon. Give it up for Brandon. Well, I'm a heavy girl. Recently, Gemini told me that my BMI is overweight, so. So cheers, girls.
Trixie Mattel
Cheers, girls. You need to switch to Pisces or something. Gemini don't know what the fuck she's talking about, girl. Let me tell you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Tell me.
Trixie Mattel
I need to just. Well, I need to say hello and we need to recognize and just sort of appreciate the listeners who are in their cars in the future.
Katya Zamolodchikova
People are in their car. We're recording tonight. Scream to the people.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, Now a lot of time, you know, because people don't usually watch and drive, although in LA they do. But I wonder if you could make some noise that corresponds directly to how sexy we look while prompted. Okay, so I'm going to say 1, 2, 3. And then you're going to describe via shouting how sexy I look. Does that make sense? Okay. One, two, three. Suck it, car people. You can't see us.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You can't see it. If they could see me, I am laid out here. My lips are spread straight open.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And if you look inside, there's another pair of lips. And behind there there's a very short man going, oh, yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Eternal daylight. The sun never stops shining on those gorgeous pussy lips, baby.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Is that. What are we doing? We were just in Sweden. Hey, to Sweden. And we were just there.
Trixie Mattel
We were at her family reunion, which was a blast.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It was a family reunion. It was incredible. You know, it was nice to stop by the Royal palace and see my family, you know? By the way, I saw the Royal palace here today. Wow, how beautiful, baby.
Trixie Mattel
This town is yanking.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's yanking. You guys have a beautiful place here in Oslo. Give it up for your home. Give it up for the home. Give it Up.
Trixie Mattel
It's like, mama, it's clean. It's pristine. It's like, it's gorgeous. I mean, we live in a true garbage dump back home. Our city is so ugly, girl. Do you not recognize that?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, it's bad. You just said it's clean. And someone said, just like you.
Trixie Mattel
My pussy's clean. Well, actually.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, not really. It's been a couple days. No, Amir, I mean, honestly, sometimes I'm like, people. Hey, you know, Hey. I think, like in America, I think that people turn us on. Well, they're turned on by us, but. And they're mostly 19 year old lesbians, but that's okay. I think that people turn us on because they want escapism. But then we're always mad now about America.
Trixie Mattel
You're right. That's bad. Okay, so are we happy? Happy?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Are we obnoxious? Because we, we, we, we. I don't know.
Trixie Mattel
Well, it's.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Should we live in a bubble and just be like, let's talk about best and worst dress. You know what I mean? Like, is that what we should be doing specifically tonight? Turn the house lights on. I'm doing best and worst dress right now. Well, obviously, she's the best dressed right here. Stand up. Let's see it. Stand up. Stand up. Obviously.
Trixie Mattel
Right up there. Stand up right there and take a look. Don't. Come on.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Obviously.
Trixie Mattel
Look at this.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes.
Brandon
Wow.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Beautiful.
Trixie Mattel
Always a humbling moment when the fans come dressed better than you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, I know.
Trixie Mattel
Happens to me all the time.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The number one Trixie impersonator is 30 pounds thinner and 10 years younger. I'm like, okay.
Trixie Mattel
And very ambitious.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Stand far away from me, bitch. You know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
Do you guys do Halloween? Just curious.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Do you guys know what happens to us on Halloween? People show up. I don't know, like they hurt. Like they read about us online. Like they've never seen us. The black and white eyeliner abuse that occurs on October 31st when people dress up as me. It's bad.
Trixie Mattel
It's bad. Mary, what are the. These nails?
Katya Zamolodchikova
These are my Cynthia Rivo nails.
Trixie Mattel
Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They're barbecue tongs.
Trixie Mattel
Who do you. How do you. How do they stay on?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, these are my Tony Hawk like mini skateboards that I just like glue to my hands. There's also something. It's very trans labyrinth. It's very.
Brandon
It's very.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's very. Hello. You got, you know, horror.
Trixie Mattel
I need.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, girl. Can I tell you what happened at the Palace?
Trixie Mattel
Please, I wish you would.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I haven't decided if I want to sit yesterday.
Trixie Mattel
Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yesterday I had a corset on with all the padding.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And so I felt so pigged up.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, me too.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And today I have this little. Well, and so I feel like is my out.
Trixie Mattel
Like, I really keep like, it is, it is weird because we don't communicate about what we wear. This is just happenstance because I also happen to be cock out.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right.
Trixie Mattel
But also showing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right.
Trixie Mattel
So, yes, Glenn and I were lucky enough to get pregnant and I am showing, but I'm a little self conscious because I don't really do maternity wear very well. However, I do just want to address one thing really quick. I'm going to do it really quick and we're just going to get it over with.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right.
Trixie Mattel
It shall never be spoken of again.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Now, for the people at home who are listening, she actually pulled back her hair. She showed her industrial piercing that was infected. And she pulled the barbell out and all the pus started shooting out.
Trixie Mattel
I unzipped my human suit and, you know, showed my scales, girl.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What? What?
Trixie Mattel
Final Destination bloodlines do you know about this movie, Mary? I, I, I know it's a, it's.
Katya Zamolodchikova
A, it's, we talked about it yesterday.
Trixie Mattel
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We did not talk about this yesterday. The MRI scene.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, have you guys seen this?
Trixie Mattel
Have you said it's a spoiler, but the movie sucks, so who cares, right?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, the thing is, I wanted to go see it in the movies, and I kept putting it off. Putting it off, putting it off. Because then I'm thinking, well, what if I go to the movie theater, it explodes, and then I'm in Final Destination, you know? But then I went to rent it on itunes, I swear to God. To rent that movie right now because it came out this week on itunes. I swear to God, it's $40 to rent the goddamn movie. No, I'd rather get killed.
Trixie Mattel
No, they do. You can find like a million compilations of all the good scenes. But there is this. Listen, the people who write the script for this movie, I want to study their brains or the lack thereof.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Sure.
Trixie Mattel
It is. They concocted this scene where it's in a hospital and this guy's got, like, a lot of piercings. He's like, runs a tattoo shop or whatever. He's got nipple piercings, tongue piercing, dick piercing, all this, you know, the whole thing. And the MRI machine gets. Whoops. Cranked up to, like, the highest level of magnetism.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They hit the sleigh Button on the mri.
Trixie Mattel
So what happens? Nipple piercings out and then tongue piercing, and then dick piercing fears. You see, like a. Like, a bulge, and then it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And then I'm so gross. At the beginning of that bulge, I'd be like, you know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
But of course, his metal belt buckle just stays put. It's so weird. And then.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But then I'd be like, oh, my God, Let me make sure your dick is okay open. Let me just see it. Oh. I'd be like, it's stuck to the MRI machine. It's hanging over there.
Trixie Mattel
But though, in the whole time this is happening, his friend is having anaphylactic shock from eating a chocolate that he's allergic to. I don't know why, but. And he wouldn't give him the EpiPen. And now he's, like. Like, thrust into the machine, but, like, he won't fit. And then a wheelchair comes and crushes him. And so he's just this big blob of gross, like, blood and guts that gets sucked into the machine.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well.
Trixie Mattel
And I say, where's the Oscar?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Why not?
Trixie Mattel
Where is the Oscar?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Honestly, I've been over here for a couple weeks. Watch. Oh, you know, watching. What do you call it? Oh, the beginning of war. Right. I've been watching that on tv, and every day I'm like, well, should I keep watching another 12 hours of CNN, or should I pierce my dick and go to the MRI machine? You know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
You can have chili or chili with noodles.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Have you ever seen. Wait, have you ever seen Final Destination 3 with the roller coaster?
Trixie Mattel
I've seen all them.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The third one has Mar. Elizabeth Winstead, which is crazy because she's, like, a serious actress. I watched it the other day, and I was like, wait a minute.
Trixie Mattel
Wait, which one is it? What. What is the big set piece at the beginning?
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's the roller coaster.
Brandon
Oh, I love that.
Trixie Mattel
Yes. Love that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And that's the one where.
Trixie Mattel
Do you guys.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Anybody who's a millennial. Do you remember when people had digital cameras?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And you would, like, dump the whole photo booth on a Facebook for. Who fucking cares? No reason. Right. Your life wasn't interesting then or now. You know what I mean? And it's mirrorless with Winstead going through her digital camera in her, like, you know, Pinterest room, And she's, like, seeing how everyone dies in the camera. Remember? It's like, oh, the twins. The picture's overexposed. Then they die in the tanning bed.
Trixie Mattel
That's right. Ooh. Some really, like, I would love a.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Final destination set at RuPaul's DragCon, because I have some girls I'd like to cast. You know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
I would be the. I would volunteer as the first kill in. I would. I would like. You know, there's a lot of fake outs. Like, I would slip on a banana peel and then I would, like, you know, like, get bounce off a Zamboni. And then, like, RuPaul would come like 55 miles an hour in her, like, rollerblades and just go right over my face.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
And then come back and then do it again. And then come back and do it again. That's how I would want to go at RuPaul's Drag Con, right. Los Angeles.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I would want some kind of, like, let's see. Because, like, it have to be rooted in realism. So at DragCon, where am I? I'm waiting in line for a hot dog or something, Right? Something realistic.
Trixie Mattel
And somebody shoots you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, I think I'm. I think I'm choking on the hot dog and it's like, oh, my God. And then the viewer. And by the way, the idea that I could have a hot dog in my throat and I wouldn't know how to handle it. Yeah, I don't fucking think so.
Trixie Mattel
I think we left that gag reflex in the late 90s.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And it's not just a hot dog. It's like a. It's like a 6 inch around Italian super sausage candellini weenie. And it's, you know, it's a summer sausage. It's shooting out the back of my head. My mascara is running, you know what I mean? And. And the people at the. I pick are jerking it. Jerking it.
Trixie Mattel
Obviously they are. They're really busy stroking it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And then at the last second, Cuckoo comes by and she said, cuckoo, mi amar. She steps on my foot. The exclamation of pain of my baby toe getting squashed, because you guessed it, the nails infected. So then the guttural shoots the hot dog into the air, hits a transformer, showering the arena in Sparks for 15 and a half minutes of thunderous ovation, while five girls quit on the spot.
Trixie Mattel
And that's the night Trixie died at Dragon.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And then, honestly, what happens is somebody. What happens is. Well, I forgot to tell you, this is also. This is also RuPaul's Drag Race Sweden.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, yes. Wait, there is that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Huh? I don't know. So there is.
Brandon
There is.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay, There is.
Trixie Mattel
Wow, we did not talk about that in Sweden yesterday.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I. I choke up the hot Dog.
Trixie Mattel
Good.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I stumble into one of these European bike lanes, and those people are not stopping for anybody.
Trixie Mattel
Girl, they would not stop for a newborn baby crying for help. They would not stop for a million dollars. Those people are on a mission.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, they will.
Trixie Mattel
They will fucking chop your head off.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The problem with that, I forget which Final Destination movie it is, but that one is in 3D. And so every kill, even if it's not 3D, the person dying is like, whoa.
Trixie Mattel
It's like, so it's gonna be the log one. Is that the log?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, I think it is.
Trixie Mattel
Maybe. That highway scene gets me right together. I almost get hard.
Brandon
Good for you.
Trixie Mattel
I know.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And it's been a while.
Trixie Mattel
It's been a while.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know, Listen, wait. Can I tell you what happened at the palace?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So you guys know Gorgeous Brandon is. Is on the. Is on the trip. Gorgeous Brandon Clapper. Brandon. Oh.
Trixie Mattel
Because this is a constitutional, hereditary monarchy, right?
Brandon
Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I looked it up on the Internet. I. The Internet told me that you guys have kings and queens and stuff and that, but they have more of a representational role. They still have all the trappings of government. Right. See, I did my research.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, you got your Royal Drum, but I also got your red tape.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I'm Swedish. And so I hate when people all lump us together, you know? So I know that there's differences, very.
Trixie Mattel
Distinct identities in Scandinavia. People really need to figure that out. There's Norway, there's Sweden, there's Finland.
Katya Zamolodchikova
There's blonde, and then there's more blonde. You know, it's just different.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. Chili or chili with noodles.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Chili with noodles. So I walking up to. Wow, look at this beautiful building. It's the Royal palace. Right? And Brandon said, you got to go see it. It's so pretty. And then they did the changing of the guard while I was there. And I've never. I didn't even know what that was. I was lucky enough to just see it. Mary. I'm going to do an impersonation of it. But this is not to be. This is. So they have, like a. Well, it's not this. They don't have a mic stand. Okay. They don't have. They have like a Swiffer or something. Oh, no, it's a gun. They have a gun. By the way, you like how American. I'm like, is that a gun? I know what a gun looks like. Okay. But they walk and they. You guys know, they do this thing where they. One arm is fixed and one arm. One arm is like, what the. One arm is like, swinging. Like, real. Like, really fucking swinging. It was so in time. It was so stunning. Yeah, but, bitch, I got to tell you about their fucking helmets.
Trixie Mattel
Wait, wait, What?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Girl, it was like, this gorgeous black riding helmet, and they're in these beautiful outfits, and it's stunning.
Brandon
Everything's beautiful.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'm sobbing, by the way. I'm sobbing.
Brandon
Of course I am.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right? Because they get cuckoo stepped on my toe, right? And they have these black helmets. And I swear to God, the first thing I thought of was RuPaul saying, I'm not a financial analyst, but the best defense against economic ruin is a side ponytail. Because the helmets have, like, a horsehair ponytail coming out the side. Mary.
Trixie Mattel
It's the truth. That's incredible.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So I'm watching them do this beautiful, stunning procession that I assume they do every day, and the ponytail. And the wind is blowing the ponytail, and I'm like, here come the hurricane, bitch. Here come the hurricane, bitch. It was so cool. It was.
Trixie Mattel
You grabbed a mic and started, like, doing the voguing thing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. You guys have to imagine. And we don't have. I mean, you guys saw our shitty fucking parade they had two week ago. Like, we don't have anything cool like that, and we don't have anything cool at all.
Trixie Mattel
I know. And also, like, what is the. What. What would be the cool equivalent of it? I'm sick of What? Oh, my God. I mean, if our royal family is like Kim Kardashian.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, no, no. It's thousand pound sisters.
Trixie Mattel
Thousand pounds.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's thousand pound sisters.
Trixie Mattel
And, Amy, our Congress is comprised of many women who didn't know they were pregnant.
Brandon
Right?
Trixie Mattel
And then, by the way, our.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Our UN is 90 Day Fiance.
Trixie Mattel
90 Day Fiance, yeah. The Senate is Survivor. Who?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Survivor.
Trixie Mattel
Survivor.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes. Yes.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. And then the President, I think is. Who's the President? It was.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, Jonathan Bailey.
Trixie Mattel
Jonathan Bailey. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But he's not American, is he?
Brandon
He.
Trixie Mattel
No. But that doesn't matter.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That doesn't matter. Right?
Trixie Mattel
Our sexy little glasses.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Sexy. The sexy little glasses. And by the way, that the glasses being sexy are dependent on who's wearing them. If I had those, I would look like never before Christmas, Sally, you know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
Like, I was like, lipstick on a pig, honey. Like, that doesn't really check out. They're not. They don't make you sexy. He's like an extremely young man who just happens to be wearing spectacles in Jurassic World.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Rebirth. Right. By the way. And they got Scarlett Johansson, who I know is for straight men. She is like. She's gorgeous. But for straight men. Her Natalie Portman are the two like, oh my God, I would do anything.
Trixie Mattel
Sweeney, baby. Sydney Sweeney. Those jugs.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know, but she's kind of new. Like people have a jerk in it to, you know.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, they have, but they've got backlogs of stroke materials to Ms. Portman.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right?
Trixie Mattel
Not just a few. I. That is so. You know, that's really gross for me to objectify. But I mean, the truth is, if I had those jugs, baby, there would not be one dry spot on my body.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
And did you see it?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Did you see her in that movie when she played a nun and they had to do all tight shots because of course it's the gorgeous breasts.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I love that movie. Mary.
Trixie Mattel
I loved it too. And I'm going to spoil it for all you newer Norwegian. She. She birthed that baby and she, she.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Bursts the devil's baby and then kills it with a rock.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, she goes like this. It's fierce and it's so cunty. And those jugs are bouncing. You know those jugs are bouncing.
Brandon
Today's episode of Bald and the Beautiful.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Is sponsored by Better help you Better help.
Brandon
I have to tell you about workplace stress. I can tell you confidently that even if you have your dream job like I do and you're surrounded by friends and family and working with people who support you, my gosh, even doing your dream job can feel a little stressful.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I want to help you take.
Brandon
This summer to focus on your wellness with small steps to manage your workday challenges. I can tell you, for me, workplace stress ends up being the thing that actually keeps me up at night. It's actually sometimes the cause of my mental health decline.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's actually for other people.
Brandon
61% of the global workforce experiencing higher than normal levels of stress. To battle stress, most of us can't.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Exactly wave goodbye to work, but we.
Brandon
Can start small with a focus on wellness. I know for me, you guys getting my run in, I cannot tell you. Exercise, for me, getting my blood pumping, it's great for inflammation, it's great for all kinds of physical stuff. But oh my gosh, it is so centering spiritually, energetically and emotionally. I really don't feel like myself unless I have moved a little bit that day. And honestly, talk therapy is a lovely supplement to that. I mean, vacation is great, but it's not a long term solution. I can tell you last summer when.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I was on my like little sabbatical.
Brandon
I did two times a week talk therapy. I just felt like, if I'm not working, why not use this time to really invest in myself? It was amazing, I can tell you. Last summer I was off, you know.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Doing my little sabbatical. I would usually do Mondays and Fridays.
Brandon
It was just so beneficial for me to take a moment twice a week. And really, I mean, when you're doing talk therapy more than once a week like that. Cause you're really investing in yourself.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You can really dive deep.
Brandon
You can really break things down. You can really troubleshoot. You can also learn how to celebrate what's going well instead of just focusing on what's not going well. It's not just for people with major trauma or people going through a lot in the moment. It can be easy stuff like coping skills and my favorite, setting boundaries.

Bald this episode is brought to you by Chime. As a young, starving drag Queen in my 20s, I once saved up every penny for my job at Orange Julius and went to Stockholm. I went to rest, to relax, to heal. You know, eat a tiny fish, kiss a swede, maybe spiritually exfoliate in a sauna. But instead, I was followed. Followed by a ghost, a cold, bureaucratic specter named Bad Credit, who whispered overdraft every time I tried to live my life. The haunting began after I bought a $37 artisanal cinnamon bun at the airport. My card was declined, and as I sheepishly put it back in my pocket, the lights flickered. I swear I saw a shadow crawl across my credit history. Every missed payment I'd ever made echoed in the air like a haunted voicemail from 2008. But then a light shone down upon Me. It was a sign. A sign from above. It was Chime. I hurriedly returned to my apartment and signed up. Suddenly I had no monthly fees, no maintenance fees and no overdraft fees. With direct deposit, I started getting paid two days early. That ghost, his name was Rex and he couldn't keep up. I left him sobbing in a pile of old statements While I used one of Chime's 50,000 fee free ATMs to grab cash for a thick, steaming hot chocolate in a curse removal ceremony on a glacier one night when my card went missing under mysterious, possibly naked circumstances, Chime's 24. 7 support appeared like guardian angel. Calm, kind, and definitely not dripping with Scandinavian moss. Now I get real time transaction alerts, so nothing sneaks up on me. Not an $89 licorice purchase. Chime has spotted members over $30 billion. That's a lot of exorcisms. So if you ever find yourself alone in a foreign land, hunted by the consequences of your own spending, don't scream. Because in the icy darkness, good banking is the only true protection. And never ever sign a financing agreement with a man named Bjorn. Work on your financial goals through Chime today.

Katya Zamolodchikova
You guys, I took some notes, but I can't operate. How do people do anything with these on?
Trixie Mattel
I don't know. All right.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Out here with these type of nails. Where you at? You. Oh my. You really are that holy. You better work, Freddy Krueger. Oh, my God, look. Oh my God. Oh, you have Juno birch nails. She has Juno birch nails.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, wow. Those are beautiful. You know what I hate when they.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Ask you look great.
Trixie Mattel
Don't you hate when they ask us, how do you wipe your ass? How do you finger your pussy? How do you open an envelope? How do you do your taxes? Like, off?
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know, I, my, my thought is, how do I use my phone?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know, Michelle Visage carries tweezers to get the card out of the gas pump. Swear to God, she has tweezers. Tweezers, she said. Because she said she got sick of having to ask people to grab her debit card because she can get it in, but she can't get it out.
Trixie Mattel
You just like. You just like. No, you guys, listen. I just want to congratulate you as a country on having the most medals in the Winter Olympics.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Wow. Can I be honest?
Trixie Mattel
No small feat.
Katya Zamolodchikova
We were in Sweden yesterday and asked them, what do you guys think of with. What's the first thing that comes to your mind with Norway? And they said, the beauty.
Trixie Mattel
The beauty.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They said, how beautiful. And then on the Internet they said the beauty and nature. And they really nut for the fjords. I know you guys are probably sick.
Trixie Mattel
Of it, but, you know, they want the girl. They're horny for all your fjords.
Katya Zamolodchikova
In America, we have economic collapse and shootings. Not a fjord, but kind of something.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. But we also get to get bankrupt when we go to the hospital.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No kidding. I was on a hike today and I slid down one of those, you know, the railings for when you're outside for steps.
Brandon
Railings.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay. And I. I don't know what it is. Like some like little boy in me needs to slide down them like on my butt.
Brandon
I have to.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's very Marty McFly. I'm late for school, doc. You know what I mean? Like, I love it and I know that I'm rubbing my like 35 year old butt juice on everything.
Trixie Mattel
I know, but you. But you get that grip. You get that grip and that good slide and my butt cheeks just.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It just grabs, you know? And I was like, what if I fall? I'm like, baby, this is the place to do it. Yeah, I'm not gonna fall. In America, they just put you down, you know, Like, I'm gonna break something here.
Trixie Mattel
I have consolidated all. I have consolidated and pre planned all of my injuries to occur tonight here in Norway. Yeah. Mama bones are getting broken tonight.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
And they are getting tended to for free.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Absolutely.
Trixie Mattel
Do you guys have free education?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Wow. And you know what else too? Like the hair. The hair all through the Scandinavian, Norwegian fantasy storyline. It's thick, it's long, it's air dried, it's healthy. In America, we have our three strands that we've bleached yellow.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And then trying to flat iron it.
Trixie Mattel
In the scabs from the clips of extensions that we try to just stuff into the scalp.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Trying to do a closure when all there is is exposed brain.
Trixie Mattel
Like, I mean, there is a danger here though. I'm not afraid to call it out because I know for a fact that some Swedish women And some Norwegian girls have been kidnapped and held hostage for their hair to be harvested by Beyonce. However, I don't really feel bad for them because they eat really well, they live in luxurious accommodations, and they get.
Katya Zamolodchikova
To be a star. Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
And they get free Netflix, you know what I mean? And then they get to see the glory of their biology just on that big plasma screen with that woman just shaking her. Oh, I love it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I love. You know, Beyonce hasn't asked for any of my wigs.
Brandon
I can't imagine why.
Trixie Mattel
I don't know. I think she's busy. She's busy, that woman. Listen, I don't know. I mean, I guess it is just kind of goes without saying that Beyonce is incredible. But we were. We're kind of new to the party or late to the party. We're late and new, but now we know it. And I can't. This cannot be overstated, don't you think? This cannot be overstated, this woman.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I feel like. Yeah, I feel like I felt like.
Trixie Mattel
A mud person when I left that show. You know what I mean? I felt like you, like you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You were covered in mud.
Trixie Mattel
No, that was shit. But it's like if you ever have the chance to go see your live, do it, you know, sneak in, steal a ticket, rob a bank, whatever you got to do. But on the flip side, I spent all last night, I was up very late reading reviews of Ms. Lana Del Rey's stadium shows. And I'm feeling for my girl. I feel for her. Ooh, she's out there struggling, struggling in that cotton dress and those kids. There's a. At one point, at one point, she's got a house, this shot, this shitty little house set up, and there's a hologram and a window. And that hologram sings two full songs.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Girl, girl.
Trixie Mattel
She leaves the stage, comes back in the same outfit. What are you doing, Mr. Thing? What are you doing?
Katya Zamolodchikova
The thing is, what are any of us doing? Because ABBA voyage happened, so I don't even know why you and I are here.
Trixie Mattel
Thank you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
We should have computer generated version doing. Doing, you know, like doing dances and songs and you and I should be asleep in Los Angeles.
Trixie Mattel
We should.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Would you guys go to the Trixie and Katya voyage hologram experience?
Trixie Mattel
I.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They can AI the jokes probably funnier than us.
Trixie Mattel
Hello. Thank you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
My God.
Trixie Mattel
But I. I do. I am pushing for this. I. I really feel like we are the perfect candidates to step into the shoes of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in a new Kind of Simple Life thing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Sure.
Trixie Mattel
It's not a simple life. It's the difficult life. We're not farmers. We're brain surgeons.
Brandon
Right.
Trixie Mattel
Do you know what I mean? So, like, we step into the, like, oil drillers in the ocean for a day. You know, like, what could go wrong?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Because they were doing, like. They were doing jobs that were, like, working at a drive through.
Brandon
Whatever.
Katya Zamolodchikova
We should be like, all right, today you are the White House secretary. You know, like, yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Tomorrow, putting a stint in the. Is hard.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Tomorrow you're doing Lasik surgery on something.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, I would love that. I feel like I would really. I. I would be cunt at Lasik. It's just a.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You just. Well, you know how in movie. Well, we talk about this when in movies, if you're not a good singer, but then you feel love and then you're a great singer.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So I think if you're doing the surgery and then you, like, think of who you love, you'd be like, I'mma tear this up. And you would get in there and you would really do it.
Trixie Mattel
Also, if you're in the operating room and. And the blood pressure is, you know, spiking, the pulse is, you know, flatlining. You just have to believe in yourself.
Brandon
Believe in it.
Trixie Mattel
You know what I mean? And you have to let go. You gotta let go in order for that thing to work, so.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And let God.
Trixie Mattel
By the way, it's the funniest trope in the history of cinema when a person, when they are, like, they can't play an instrument, but then they believe in themselves and then they can.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It doesn't make any sense at all.
Trixie Mattel
Or like. Like, I'm so, like. Oh, like a kind of C plus shitty violin student. And then. But wait a second. Like, that is so nutso. It's crazy.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's cuckoo. Can I be honest, though? I think that sometimes I operate from a place of delusion as far as, like, that gay gene where you're like, I can do anything. Anything. It's like, oh, I'm gonna do that. I can do that. Nobody said I can't do that.
Trixie Mattel
Well, that's great. But did you hear about this? Science. Scientific studies, and I'm talking a lot too many to ignore, have indicated that finger size, the pointer finger and the ring finger tell if you're gay. So this is. Everybody look at their hands. Okay, guys, this is the shocker. Yes, yes. So do this shocker.
Katya Zamolodchikova
This tells if you're lesbian.
Trixie Mattel
No, no, no. So these. These two. So if the difference in their length is quite pronounced. Baby, you A faggot.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. No, it's true. It's true. It's true. And I noticed mine. I was like, there is a good 3/4 of an inch difference. So, Mama, I was born to be gay, right? No, but. And it's true, though. This is a real thing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I remember when you were born, it was longer. Yeah, it was much longer. It coiled around like those videos of people having the longest fingernails. The finger was like a hose that was rolled up. You know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
But it's true. Isn't that wild? So, girls, if, you know, maybe your boyfriend's really sensitive, they love poetry, they're not good at basketball, and you're concerned that they might be gay. Just check the fingers and you'll be fine.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Are your. Let's see yours. Oh, the nails make it so hard, though.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I mean, girl, you're not sure if I'm gay. We need to check the fingers.
Trixie Mattel
It's. Listen, it's 2025. We're in Oslo. Anything could happen.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know what, though? Like, I could be wearing this, but also, so could, like, Benson Boone, you know, like this. It's very.
Trixie Mattel
Okay, I just gotta do a quick lap. What do you think about Benson Boone?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Can I say something that I don't know? I don't want to kill the fun of everyone. I don't, like, really hate. I find extreme distaste and hate for a celebrity who's someone you don't know. I find it wild and crazy.
Trixie Mattel
100 agree with you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I find it wild and crazy.
Trixie Mattel
I think it's. I think it's unnecessary.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I think it's like the Hunger Games and the government makes you buy events in Boon CD just like. Yeah, turn on the radio, Mary.
Trixie Mattel
I think people are still really salty about that YouTube song or that, you know, when you got an iPhone or.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, I'm still mad. That's an old people thing. Old people. Do you know, Mama, do you know maggots? I know you know, they're not even listening. They don't even care that I'm here. There was a moment I could sit here and finger myself. I was gonna tell a millennial joke and I thought you would want to be a part of it. It's too late now. I'll just go lay down somewhere. You'll find me under the pipe organ fingering myself. That's fine. Today's episode of Bald and the Beautiful.
Brandon
Is brought to you by Hungry Root planning. Meals can be simple and can be stress free.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know that's crazy to think about.
Brandon
You come home from work and like, cooking can be not stressful. I have reached whatever stage in life. Nothing makes me happier than cooking in my own home and feeding people. It's the only thing that makes me feel really present in this world. It makes me feel like I'm not just a cross dresser. I'm also a human being.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I can't, I don't know what it is.
Brandon
Something about cooking, something about cooking for someone, for yourself, taking a moment to do something for yourself as simple as cooking. And Hungry Root takes the stress out of mealtime by planning a full week of meals tailored to your tastes. And it gets smarter with every order. With over 15,000 recipes to choose from each week, many in just 15 minutes or less, it's easy to find options. For example, they got gluten free, dairy free, high protein, focused on gut health, pretty much anything.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Like I'm vegetarian, but I like dairy.
Brandon
And eggs and cheese.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So, you know, I don't love all.
Brandon
Vegan, but for me, somebody who's vegetarian, I can kind of style step around things. After your quick quiz, the smart cart technology builds a weekly menu that fits your needs. It's like a personal meal planner who just gets it. I also love that every delivery includes a free item, like a protein, you know, item or a sweet treat. I mean, I love a veggie item, but I love a sweet treat. My last Hungry Root box came with this bowl. And I'm comfortable making salads. I'm not comfortable making bow. I don't know where the line between, like which things get cooked and which don't begin. And honestly, I wouldn't say that even though I'm a lifelong vegetarian, I wouldn't say I'm terribly imaginative with produce. You know what I mean? I'm that ants on a log girl. So I really appreciate Hungry Root making me a bowl that, you know, I.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Have these things like a feta.
Brandon
I have these things like, you know.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I hate to tell you all, I.

Today's episode of Bald and the Beautiful is brought to you by Wayfair, let's talk about entertaining in the summertime. Okay, I just had a pool party. If you guys listen to Bald and Beautiful, you know, I just had a pool party. And when you're having guests over, you see your home with new eyes. You start visualizing like, I'm obsessed with certain homemakers, Martha Stewart, Ina Garden, etc. And what I have learned is nothing about entertaining is standardized, but it's about making sure your home is right for what you want to do. And for me, in the summer when I had this pool party, I basically designed a party that was indoor, outdoor. You know, the DJ was kind of indoors. The bar and the food was indoors, but the doors were open so people come in and out. And I'm always interested in things like bringing indoor furniture outside or doing indoor outdoor rugs. Ways to bridge the indoor outdoor experience. And I think a big trick to that is a little bit of imagination with your home while you're entertaining. Wayfair is your one stop shop for outdoor entertaining.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Cookout. Okay?
Brandon
Patio tables, grills, dishware, pool party, lounge chairs, daybeds, umbrellas. Let me tell you, this stuff sneaks up on you. And you don't want to be caught with a bunch of guests and not appropriate seating. How horrible. Wayfair's got cornhole, croquet, string lights, garden lanterns, baby. And with fast and easy shipping, it's never been easier to get ready to party. I like a very intimate backyard. I like it to feel like you're not in the middle of Los Angeles. You're actually in a little oasis somewhere. And with Wayfair, there's so many options. And even though I was on a time crunch, it was, you know, fast, free, hassle free delivery. And it just completely revamped my outdoor. There's something for every style and every home, no matter what your space or your budget. Head over to Wayfair.com, shop. Outdoor grills, furniture, lawn games, and way more for way less. Head over to Wayfair.com right now to explore a huge outdoor selection. That's W A Y-F-A-I-R.com Wayfair Every style, every home.

Trixie Mattel
Wait, wait, wait, wait. So wait. Benson, Boon.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, yeah.
Trixie Mattel
I think he's a very talented young man. I don't know if he is a thief or a lunatic or a raper. I don't think so. You know, that's all. It'll all come out in the wash. But I have to say, I give props to the man and I appreciate his presence because, yes, there is a one minute video of him on my phone that I jerk it to. I jerk it to. And he's. He's up there in my bank of. Of phone video jerk. I mean, he's kind of featured prominently in my jerk library. And there's only spots for like about six to eight guys, so.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right.
Trixie Mattel
I think that's great for him. And he's very. I mean, I just. I don't know, I just dish the mustache. I don't like it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But you don't. So you don't like his clothes, you don't like his music, you don't like him doing flips. There's more options to watch people now. Like, I'm old enough to remember when we had like five channels. Like, you have so many wonderful opportunities.
Trixie Mattel
You could get into Hungarian folk music.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You could do anything.
Trixie Mattel
You could.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And you could get into Norwegian folk music.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. You could hand not a rug for 30 years.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
There's a lot of other options rather than just like, he does a flip. I hate his guts. What a. I hate that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. We got to keep it positive.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And maybe you know what it is too. Like, I had Rebecca, Rebecca Black do some of the Solid Pink discos. And she's so nice and cool.
Trixie Mattel
Love her.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And she's this like, hot, confident pop star. And sometimes I have to connect that to like, wow, people were horrible to you and didn't know you. And that's crazy.
Trixie Mattel
I feel, you know, about tanning mom.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But, you know, we're in, we're in drag race season right now. And so we're at peak of it where people week to week are like, I hope that bitch ends up in the ground. I'm like, yeah, that crossy you never met?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. In fact, I will put her there.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right?
Trixie Mattel
It's crazy. I am a little scared. That's why I don't think I'll ever go back on Drag Race because I'm too sensitive. I might have a sensitive spirit. I have a vulnerable soul. My skin is very. And I just couldn't take the barrage of hate and negative criticism that is hurled at the girls nonstop on Twitter dot com.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, we're very lucky because many of you, I'm sure, have been listening to us, watching us for, God, a decade. It's so traumatizing when people come up. It's traumatizing. It's traumatizing when the girls come up and say, I've been watching you since sixth grade.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. My mother did an ultrasound while watching. Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I was born on a green screen. You know, like, all of it. It's like, oh, my God.
Trixie Mattel
How about this one? I was chatting just nonchalantly with Fina the other day, and I, like, was like, God, I've been doing drag for what, like nine or 10 years? She's like, nine or 10 years.
Brandon
17, 20.
Trixie Mattel
20. Benson Boone is 22. Right.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Can I tell you Grammy.
Trixie Mattel
He performed at the Grammys. He did a flip. It was amazing. And he was 22 years old. Right. I have been doing drag for 20 years. If I tried to flip off a piano, baby, you know what it is, a rap.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It'd be at the end of Death Becomes Her. When they hit the ground after they fall down the stairs and all the body parts, like, explode.
Trixie Mattel
You pushed me off the piano.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. I don't know. I'm. Because I'm at 17 years in drag, which is like, oh, God.
Trixie Mattel
You know, that is so crazy because you just look like a young girl.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Wow. I am. I just had to watch a TikTok to learn how to put my tampon in. I'm just kidding. No, I don't know.
Trixie Mattel
Wait, I did. I did a TikTok yesterday. Please clap.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But can I tell you, you know what else is coming?
Trixie Mattel
What?
Katya Zamolodchikova
17 years. 17 years in drag. I started at 18. That means in two years, it's my 20 year high school reunion.
Trixie Mattel
Ooh, baby.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And when I tell you, when I.
Trixie Mattel
Tell you, are you gonna go?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Am I gonna go? Am I a Nicki fan?
Trixie Mattel
Wait, are you really gonna go?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Norway. This is how I'm walking into that shit. Okay, I am ready.
Trixie Mattel
Side ponytail. You gotta do a series of helmets. All side ponytail. Longer and longer and longer. Then.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Then I'm gonna walk in, I'm gonna see some of those guys who are mean to me in the locker room that almost gave me a boner every single time. And I'm gonna walk in. We're, you know, it's my high school reunion. We're gonna be having, like, one bean dip and a dart board. Like, it's not gonna be a bit. It's the 20 people who've survived. Damn, they're 80 children.
Brandon
And me.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I'm gonna walk in, and it's gonna be very pretty woman. Beautiful lady.
Trixie Mattel
You're the pretty woman. Right, right.
Katya Zamolodchikova
In this scenario, for copyright reasons, we're going to say beautiful woman.
Trixie Mattel
Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay. So attractive girl. So I'm going to walk in. I'm going to walk in and I'm going to say, hey, you used to call me a.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
First of all, you were right.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
First of all, t. Second of all, you can make an incredible living doing it. And you can go to Norwegia.
Trixie Mattel
Okay, I know.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What. Not to be RuPaul about it, but you graduated in 2005. Okay? High school. High school. I know.
Trixie Mattel
College. Oh, I'm screaming. I'm sorry.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Trixie Mattel
I graduated.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Who is a college? High. College reading. I'm talking high school. Ready? Reunion. Oh, is that big here in America? The high school reunion is like a fabled thing. It's like going to prom. Going to the high school reunion? Yeah, because you're supposed to go, like who you wanted to or tell them when you're rich or I don't know what you do.
Trixie Mattel
Well, yes, it's an opportunity for people who are bullied or, like, you know, just, like, at the bottom of the. The social food chain in high school to really flex and just shit on them hoes. Because the truth is, those people who bullied you are probably the kind of folks who peaked in high school. So it's downhill. They're gonna show up super, super crazy, ugly and rotten and with, like, three times divorce with, like, you know, children with webbed feet and bug eyes. And it's gonna be bad. So, like, you walk in there, the, like, the pillar of grace and sensuality, elegance and rich, right? And you just say, you fucking fat, ugly bitch. You fucking bitch.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Then you'll buy them a fistful of cake, shove it in your mouth, and leave.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, by then I'm gonna have my private life, private pilot's license, so I'm gonna fly in my cirrus and my cirrus, and I'm gonna have one of the planes with the parachute just in case I crash and I'M gonna land it on the ceiling of the Marathon gas station in my hometown. And can I be honest?
Trixie Mattel
Please.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Nobody bullied me. Just. This is more about the few guys who wouldn't me that my vendetta is more about like, hey, you saw me looking all the time and you know, I had acne and a home perm and I was kind of like, listen, that was.
Trixie Mattel
That was the vibe back then.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That was the vibe.
Trixie Mattel
That was the look.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It was the look.
Trixie Mattel
It was the high school look, girl.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't know. I think I wanted to go on my 10 year, but no, no, no, no. I paid the $10 dues. You had to pay $10 dues to go and you had to fill out this whole online survey to say what you've been doing where you went to college. And it was like, like, how many kids do you have? Zero. Are you married? No. What do you do now? I don't know. Turn on your tv, Bag it, You know, like, I don't know. What don't I do?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So.
Trixie Mattel
The only thing, the only thing you don't do is like, embalming. Cor.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know, I know I'm going to go to the and then I'm going to be. I know myself and I know that I'm an insecure non listener. One upper piece of from hell. And I know that when someone's like, so Mary and I just retiled the bathroom, I'm going to be like, I rented a bit of a motel next. You know, like, you know, I divorced, didn't even get married next. You know, like, I'm always ready.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, I, I, I, I do. It is a regret that I harbor. Every day I wake up in the sweat, a panic that I didn't go to my 20 20th high school reunion.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Because what year would that have been?
Trixie Mattel
That. Why would you say it in the year to wait. So.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So it's hard to come up with a who are you covering your face from? This st. This stag. It just walked by with a fan. The fan was facing us like this.
Trixie Mattel
Are you ashamed to be here?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Who are you hiding from.
Trixie Mattel
Josh?
Katya Zamolodchikova
From who had to go pee.
Trixie Mattel
You had to go pee? What's wrong with your bladder? Gallstones, kidney stones.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You had to pee? Peeing is okay. Do you drink a lot?
Brandon
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Or maybe he was one of those gays who does coke and shits in the club. Is that what you were doing?
Trixie Mattel
Oh, my God. You know, I am so. For someone like me, I am shockingly clueless about cocaine. I am like every, every couple of weeks I'm like, cocaine.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No kidding.
Trixie Mattel
Cocaine. People leaving. I just, I'll be right back.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, I know.
Trixie Mattel
You know, and they come back like, yeah, no, yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Mean, it is honestly, like, hey, we're all having a fun time here. Let me go get my more annoying version of myself. Hold on a second. And then they come in like, girl.
Trixie Mattel
Like I was watching, I was at watching Killers of the Flower Moon. It's like six hours in the theater and you know, I got some shady friends and, and they're like, wow, really? They pee a lot. But you know, they, you know, they leave and it's like, okay. And then they're just like.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, seriously, literally, literally sad.
Trixie Mattel
What are you doing here?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I went to a party the other day and I went to a party. I don't even want to say because I don't know if they're going to listen.
Trixie Mattel
Their name, full last name, Social Security, everything.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know, it was Ireland, you know, it was okay, I was in Ireland and I saw, and I, I saw drug use and it went from like a fun. And you guys know what? When I see drug use, I'm. I'm a furby. I'm like, ah. Like, I don't even know what to say.
Trixie Mattel
You're a furby. A furby.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Like, I just start closing my eyes and like, like, I don't know what to do. I don't know what the to do. I don't know what to do.
Trixie Mattel
Citizens arrest.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Girl, I just walk out of it, you know, I don't know, girl, I start chopping like I don't know. And it turned from like, like, oh, just chatting, chatting, chatting to like. So you know that everybody else in the world thinks that America is like North Korea, right? And I was like, somebody get a refill. I'll be back, people.
Trixie Mattel
And listen, it's a lot of, it's a lot of. What do you call it? It's like the. When the mind is willing but the flesh is weak because these coked out little Mary. They want to you in the butt. What?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Girl, they can't get.
Trixie Mattel
Ed McMahon had a check for a million dollars. They could not get that dick hard.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Girl.
Trixie Mattel
They trying, trying, trying with that little softy. Get out of my. Get off of me, girl.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Get off of me. Miss getting on top of me with a limp little coke dick. And I'm sitting there going, k. No, like, it's just, it's not, it's not happening.
Trixie Mattel
No, I.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And especially as the non drug user, I become like, A. A dare. Like, stop. Let's see how that scenario should have gone. You know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
Like, I need you to put down the coke. Your life is in grave danger. God, give it up for Gal Gadot. Pouring out.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Your life is in grave danger.
Trixie Mattel
I need you to give me the stones.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's like, give me this. Give me the eston.
Trixie Mattel
I love it. No, that's too good. That's too good.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Did you. I rewatched Wonder Woman 19. I almost called it 1884. Could you imagine? Well, Colonial Women.
Trixie Mattel
Girl, you pilgrim.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes, pilgrim. Wonder Woman.
Brandon
Hear ye hear.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, I forgot that Kristen Wiig is in it. Who's the villain? And they do what I love in a movie, which is when somebody's. Somebody's not hot, they take drop dead gorgeous and slightly, you know, take a trip to the doctor. Ms. Wig, right. Looking like a Hollywood movie actress. And they get the scrunchie and the glasses. She's ugly now. And you as a viewer are like, she's. I mean, she looks like she works at Claire's, but she's gorgeous, you know?
Trixie Mattel
And then what was. I was very perplexed and confused about what her superpower was. Was she a cat?
Katya Zamolodchikova
She was a cheetah. Yes, she was, but she was like. It was like a cheetah energy.
Trixie Mattel
A cheetah energy?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Which is like. Well, there's like panther energy.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, for her to have her powers, Pedro Pascal had to have his powers. He was the villain. Oh, you better get into it.
Trixie Mattel
Ho. I didn't really watch it, but I do. But I do know that there was some. Listen. Where there's body snatching in the movies. You really gotta ask yourself, does this person want to have sex with me? Go rewatch and think about it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, I don't know what it is. Maybe I need is. Can I ask your professional opinion?
Trixie Mattel
Please.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's 35. Too late for drugs.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, my God.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know what I mean? Could I become like a. A good time druggie gal? Could I be the person who's at the party with the fingernail? Like, yeah, you know what I mean? Like, could that be me?
Trixie Mattel
This. I'm gonna. I've told this story a million times. I'm gonna tell it again because we're in Norway. I was doing this stupid photo shoot in this weird house in the pool. I had this crystal thing on my head and I had no breath. And I was just in the deep end, like, trying not to drown. And the mansion that we were at was rented by the owner of the Luxury brand called vna, which is a very hoity toity European luxury brand. She walked in in a tight white T shirt with her enormous breast implants. So visible, so confrontationally, bulging with those hard fucking nipples like. Like, made me wonder if she was like a P Town fag with those wired ass nipples. But anyways, she walks in very seductively, confidently and capable. She said no champagne, no cocaine. What kind of photo shoot is this? She was 35. 35 years old. It's time she was 35 and the owner of a luxury brand. She was not some dumpster diving crackhead. She was at the top of her game, right? She loved that little cocaine. So I have. You know what I'll do? I'll make an itinerary for you.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, good.
Trixie Mattel
In a syllabus, the drugs 101. And we'll start you on Klonopin. No, I think we should start you on mushrooms.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Can I do something that's gonna give me diarrhea because I already stopped up. So, like, that could be really good for me.
Trixie Mattel
I mean, it's like cocaine will do that, but then you got to be annoying.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, my God. I know. It's. It's literally. Can I tell you, cocaine is. It's not making you the girl you think it is.
Trixie Mattel
No, it's. And it's like this is an anti.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Drug PSA here tonight because I did a little research on Norway and I know that this is the cocaine capital.
Trixie Mattel
Do you guys of the world. Yeah, yeah. Colombia wishes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes.
Trixie Mattel
So do you guys are any, like, what's the deal with drugs here?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Some of these people are old straight people. Their version of cocaine is like getting a babysitter, you know, like, that's sort.
Trixie Mattel
Of staying out till 11:30, right?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Having a Diet Coke after 9pm Wild.
Trixie Mattel
No. What's the deal? Is anything illegal here? Marijuana.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Is marijuana legal here?
Trixie Mattel
Wow. The people in the cars in la.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, my God. I'm so sick of people saying that to me on this trip. Do you know the things I have had to do do to my God back on Grindr. Hey. Hey.
Trixie Mattel
How y' all doing?
Katya Zamolodchikova
You up? Sending plant emojis.
Trixie Mattel
They come over with a ficus.
Brandon
Girl.
Trixie Mattel
I got you a succulent. You don't really need to water it that much off.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes. I can't take it. I don't know.
Trixie Mattel
Well, I know. I think so. Oh, just in case this is a good lesson, lesson number one. So online, the symbols, what do they mean? So if you want to get cocaine, it's a snowflake. Right.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I thought that was crystal meth.
Trixie Mattel
No, no, that's a diamond.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh. See, I'm gonna have to go to like remedial school.
Trixie Mattel
Mary, this is what I'm doing to you, right?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Do you think there's like a duolingo for this?
Trixie Mattel
No, I am that. Oh, okay. I'm telling you, I am the owl of drugs for you. Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The Rosetta stoned.
Trixie Mattel
So. And then. And then this is what you want to hear. So if somebody says on deck, that means they have.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know that one.
Trixie Mattel
Okay, great.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. You're. You're ready to go water skiing and you're standing on the deck.
Trixie Mattel
And then an eight ball is. Well, an eight ball. That's pretty self explanatory. And then.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Can I tell you, I'm not. I'm not looking to be educated really. But if you want to know how inexperienced. I. I don't know what an eight. I don't know what an eight ball is.
Trixie Mattel
Well, let me tell you what.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I don't know what.
Trixie Mattel
3.5 grams, I think. I don't know. That could. It's. It's like not that much or it is. Depends on what it is.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Maybe we should change the subject. You guys are gonna listen to this? I mean, I'm. We all know that I'm not gonna do drugs. I quit drinking for two years. I just started again. You guys got me back on the sauce, so.
Trixie Mattel
And let me tell you something. So you got to be careful what you really want to look for with when you're drinking alcohol like that. You want to stick with pills like Xanax, Klonopin, Lorazepam. Those are. They have a synergistic effect with the alcohol. That's not dangerous at all.
Katya Zamolodchikova
By the way. What about this set dressing? This tiny fake? Can we kill the lights, please? I need to know. Know if this lantern does anything. Turn off all the lights.
Trixie Mattel
All.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Every single one of them. Please. Please.
Trixie Mattel
Please, can you do it? All of them.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They won't do it.
Trixie Mattel
I had a dream.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Isn't. It's there. Turn off the spotlight too. I really want to be spooked out. That's her. Whoa, wait. Can we kill this one or no? Please kill both of them. Seriously. God. God. Hello?
Trixie Mattel
God.
Katya Zamolodchikova
God.
Trixie Mattel
Can you kill that one? Just turn it off.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Am I such a star that the spotlight refuses to turn off?
Trixie Mattel
It won't turn off.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Here, you do it. All right.
Brandon
Kill her.
Katya Zamolodchikova
A light. I want to see how spooked out this is.
Trixie Mattel
No.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Do it.
Trixie Mattel
Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
There's a Light Love that. You know? I'm sorry, I thought that would just be kind of.
Trixie Mattel
No, that's fine. I think it's fine. We're just fine.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I thought it was a nice way to break the discussion. Encouraging drug use and kind of maybe pivot.
Trixie Mattel
Let's go. Let's pivot just slightly. I have. I know we said we were not going to embroil ourselves in negativity, but I just have to get something off of my little double A cup chest right here. There are some fucking songs in these goddamn musicals that I fucking hate so bad, and it turns me into a version of myself that is not the person I want to be. You know what I mean?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Which songs do you dislike? The composers are probably not fans of ours, so I think you can go ahead.
Trixie Mattel
I hope these composers. I hope they're dead. I hope they all. They can all choke. It's. It's the. I don't want to say it out loud because they'll get in my head. It's the. That. That Frozen song. That Frozen song. It's like three syllables. That's the. I hate it so much. It's almost like. It's almost as if the song killed my whole family in front of me, choked me out.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Have you ever seen the movie?
Trixie Mattel
I. I have seen clips.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Isn't it set somewhere.
Trixie Mattel
So we're close to the Arctic?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, I'm saying those bitches are gonna come here and beat you with the bath.
Trixie Mattel
Maybe. I wish they would try it because I will take off these dangly earrings and I will fuck them up. Right? I hate that. And then also, I don't like Patti LuPone.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay?
Trixie Mattel
I don't like her. I don't care. I don't care. If that turns me into a gay pariah and you just banish me into the woods. I will live there happily. I don't like her. I don't like her attitude, and I don't like that she's jealous of Madonna playing a Vietnam. Listen, she was great in that movie. She had big, gorgeous breasts. Patty, you didn't do it. Just get over it.
Brandon
Wow.
Trixie Mattel
That's all.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Wow.
Trixie Mattel
But I do love Kristin Chenoweth.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay, Me too. Can I tell you, I. It was just Ariana Grande's birthday, I think, and so Kristin Chenoweth made a long post about, you know, all their pictures together, doing the different glindas. And that's fun. And I love that.
Trixie Mattel
That.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I. This is crazy. I'm just going to tell it anyway.
Brandon
I.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know, I've been Doing the Pride circuit, doing all the stunning Prides. I recently did a Pride in Boston called Out Loud. Boston. It was the week after Pride, right? So this is like a 10 part story about Boston and I've been saving it because I have.
Brandon
Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
New information for once.
Brandon
Woo. Woo.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It took you guys 10 years of following us, but once in a while, new information presents itself. So every time I go to Boston, I go to. Wait, I'll tell this first. First. I saw Frankie Grande because he was performing at the same Pride. So the Pride was actually really slay. It was Frankie Grande, me and Kim Pentress. Really fun, fun group. Yes, fun. And she did her set and I sat by the stage watching her sing all these horror songs. And I was like, yeah, like, I loved it. It was so fun. And she's so gorge and stunning. And I. I believe I'm her. I know that that's kind of, you know, you people in the back, you see it, right?
Brandon
No.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay.
Trixie Mattel
Dead ringer, dead ringer.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So I have had the fortune of DJing with her a few times, and she's really cool and nice and walking to the stage for soundcheck, I saw Frankie Grande with who I assumed would be his mom. Right. I don't remember her first name because I only met her in passing.
Trixie Mattel
Zelda.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes.
Brandon
Maybe.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't know. So I met her and I was like, oh, she was in like all black and she had this bright pink lipstick. And anybody who makes a bold makeup choice like that, I'm like, I already like this. Right. And you know, you have an icebreaker. Frankie was like, I don't think you ever met my mom. I said, oh, my God. Nice to meet you. Big fan of your very talented children. Hello. And then I said, I love your lipstick. Is it Candy? Yum Yum by Mac because it was hot pink. And she said, no, it's Glinda. From the Wicked Collection by REM Beauty.
Trixie Mattel
Fuck.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It was like the full name. And I was like, I will always remember the color and the name of that lipstick she burnt. She got. It's a core memory.
Trixie Mattel
That was the mom. The mom. She's like a helicopter mom or. Or no, not a helicopter.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What is a helicopter mom?
Trixie Mattel
Moms who drive helicopters. No, no, stage mom. Stage mom.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know, if your kids are performers. Yeah, I mean, I guess you do that. Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
That you don't with stage moms. Especially helicopter. Stage mom.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But also it was like REM Beauty. Ever heard of it? I'm like, I am aware. Thank you. But so then after the show. I go, well, let's go to Jacques. Because every time I'm in Boston, I'm like, we're gonna go to Katya's old gay bar. Because, you know, I always think they're very nice to me there. And I always say, that's my home bar by marriage. Right. That's my step home bar, because my home bar is gone. Now pour it out for this is it. And nobody cares. It's cool. It's cool. It would be like if one of your fjords melted. Oh. So. Okay.
Trixie Mattel
No, that would be like a tsunami.
Brandon
Right?
Katya Zamolodchikova
So I go in, and I'm having. And there's three things I love about Jacques. Gorgeous trans women on stage.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay.
Trixie Mattel
Hot, sexy, talented showgirls.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Drinks so strong they could take your nail polish off. Okay. Like, drinks that. They're like you. There's a cipher into someone's car. It's gasoline. It's so serious.
Trixie Mattel
You leave that club with no middle name.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And friendly, very sweet and funny bartenders who treat you like they've known you forever and just read you. And that's fun and great.
Trixie Mattel
That's a very different experience than I had working there. But okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, they're always super fun and funny and love that. So then the girls this night. You guys are so gorgeous. These women, I mean, they are some of those beautiful drag queens I've ever seen. Well, like, you know, trans queen performers I've ever seen in my life, all drag included. I'm, like, dying. I'm drunk, of course, But I'm drinking, and I'm like, oh, my God, I'm tipping. And then I go, oh, my God.
Brandon
You all are so beautiful.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And they were like, thank you. And I, like, joked. I go, I can't believe Katya used to work here. You know, Fun little joke about a mutual friend. Ha, ha, ha. And then they go, well, when Katya worked here, estrogen hadn't really hit Boston yet.
Trixie Mattel
Now it had.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I screamed and they screamed, and then.
Trixie Mattel
We all just walked away.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I was like, work.
Trixie Mattel
Let me tell you something about the beautiful girls. The trials and tribulations of working with hot, sexy girls at a sweaty little nightclub like that. Because everybody in the show dreaded this spot in the lineup, which was. You go after Destiny. Destiny is this. She's like the. She's the one. She's the pinnacle of elegance, sexuality, electrifying, entertainer, just ageless, gorgeous beauty. Like, it's off the hook.
Katya Zamolodchikova
She's the innocence of beauty.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, she's the innocence of Beauty. She is like, she's the Beyonce of the show, right? So when I roll my little goblin ass out on the stage after her, it's like my precious, like, right. It's very. It's giving.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Lord, is there $1 left for me?
Trixie Mattel
You know, it was the most. It was just a really, really rough. Really. Well, it was tough and that's why we drank so much. I. The. The bartender who was cross eyed, she's still alive. I don't know why I just did that. No, not cross eyed. Had a glass eye. Sorry. That's different. That's different.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Why not both?
Trixie Mattel
Hey. Hello.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Seriously, shout out to the cross eyed divas. Love the cross eyed divas.
Trixie Mattel
So she would. I don't know if you guys know what Dunkin Donuts is, but it's this, you know? Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You guys, it's so pussy.
Trixie Mattel
It's so. It's very pussy. But she would take this giant Styrofoam. It's kind of an extra, extra large size. She would dump out the cup, fill it with maybe like this much ice, and then, well, vodka. Like that much vodka. And then she take the cranberry juice and go. And in fact, I think she just flicked it a little bit. She.
Katya Zamolodchikova
She just bumped the glasses together. That was enough.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, she does.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Everybody. Everybody has a friend in their friend group who makes drinks like they're trying to kill you. And it's like we're taking that away for obviously it's you. Yes.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, he's. You are the killer. That's the killer. That's why he was shielding his face.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Because you're the killer.
Trixie Mattel
The killer.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, my God.
Trixie Mattel
Well, speaking of the killer, I'll keep this brief because it's so depressing. I was listening to a podcast in the dressing room about a girl, a woman. Now, she survived miraculously, but at 14, she was hitchhiking and this serial killer chopped both her hands off.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, my gosh. And that's kind of like. So anyways, that's kind of like a fun. Kind of like a fun part of the show. But I'll tell you this. I was.
Trixie Mattel
Clapped her hands off.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I love Boston. I love Jacques, I love all the girls over there. But can I just say this? I. I think the COVID was $10. $10? Did they raise three people? 60, 20 each, I think. Don't. Don't quote me now. I'm in trouble if I misquoted it.
Trixie Mattel
Was it really?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I swear to God, ever since you left the show is very valuable.
Trixie Mattel
Like, that's so insulting.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But, like, only in America do we make you pay to be in a drag show. And then we walk by your table and look at your money and go, like, we didn't all just get paid. And now we're like. Like, if you don't give me the money, I'm gonna power down and stop lip syncing. Like, girl, it's so fierce. American drag. Can I tell you guys over here, the drag queens have to. You don't know the words. They have to do the whole number.
Trixie Mattel
They have to have an act. They have to have a beginning, a middle, and end. They have to have a direction.
Katya Zamolodchikova
In Sweden, they were like, oh, it's so woke. Here. We barely have drag bars. We just can go places.
Brandon
I'm like, wow, must be nice.
Trixie Mattel
American drag queens are so lazy and so greedy. It is.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And ugly.
Trixie Mattel
Ugly. Oh, my God, dogs. Woof, woof.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's like, it is bad.
Trixie Mattel
But every once in a while you get, you know, every blue moon, you get this crowd, this magic mixture of people who. You know, this bizarre confluence of different types of folks who come to the show and they are horny to throw cash at you. And I mean literally horny. Horny. And I'm talking fistfuls of dollars, fives and tens, and they crumple them up into a giant fucking ball and they hook it at your face place. And that happened to me one night. One unforgettable Wednesday night when those basketball wives came into that place and they belted me with cash for an hour and a half. We had to sweep the singles off the floor. That dirty, nasty floor. And, yeah, $1 bills. Do you know how much money I made? 800.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Wow.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. And I was bad.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That is.
Trixie Mattel
Is four.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's, you know, four or five. I don't know the conversion. I don't know.
Trixie Mattel
It was. It was cunty. And, you know, I. That's where I got my accidental hooker start, you know?
Brandon
Right.
Trixie Mattel
This guy took him upstairs.
Katya Zamolodchikova
She gave you $800 in single L. She said, this ain't gonna eat itself, girl. You said, okay, basketball wife.
Trixie Mattel
Dribble, dribble, girl.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I mean, this is like.
Trixie Mattel
I do, you know, you know, the. The. When I. I did that little hoochie coochie dance, I brought the guy upstairs because I lived above the bar like a. And I. I would walk down, well, I'd wiggle, and I would wear dresses like this because I didn't want to wear panties. So like, imagine this just with no panties. And I would just, like, you know, very tiptoe And I, I'd bring a guy upstairs and then this guy wanted to.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Were you in drag? Oh, yeah, of course. Okay.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. Looking extremely seductive and. Yeah. No panties. Out of drag. I don't know.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, you walk around your house in a negligee. Out of drag.
Trixie Mattel
You raincoat, cowboy hat, no panties.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, you've done worse. Local crossy.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, it's true. But he wanted me, and this sounded too good to be true, he wanted me to smoke a cigarette while he watched and I did a little dance. Smoke. I mean, this was his kink.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Is lung cancer?
Trixie Mattel
No, no, no. His kink is smoking.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Smoking fetish is actually pretty popular, especially with the cross dressers. I've seen a lot of that online of just like, like MacBook video of someone in a wig just smoking. There's no sex, there's no talking, just.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, well, so he wanted a little, he wanted a. Some long drags and a little wiggle. Baby, I gave it to him. So good, because those are the two things I was born to do on this earth.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Can I ask you a question? Yeah. If you could smoke in theaters, do you think you would be smoking on stage in drag? Maybe she doesn't really smoke anymore, but I don't.
Trixie Mattel
I. Wait, I have to make a confession.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Here we go.
Trixie Mattel
Okay, listen.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I killed a guy yesterday.
Trixie Mattel
I was driving, it was raining and I killed a few kids with my car. No, I, I, I, I. There are billboards of me in Times Square, New York City, in and on the subways of Washington D.C. i swear to God, as a spokeswoman for this anti smokey or a spokeswoman.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That.
Trixie Mattel
I can't believe they didn't think of that. What a bunch of smokes person.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And by the way, your only job was to not smoke till what, the end of pride.
Trixie Mattel
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. How dare you. It was. I was hired to promote this very wonderful tool which can help people quit nicotine whether they vapor smoke or whatever. And I used the technology myself. Yes, I did. And then I succeeded in. I'm not gonna say quitting smoking, but transforming my habit from 35 cigarettes a day to either zero to five.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's amazing. That's amazing.
Trixie Mattel
That Huge. Huge if true.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
However, you know, the thing is, is that they did pay me money and I.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You needed it. You were a broke woman.
Trixie Mattel
And I. But the guilt that I feel, I, I feel like I'm out there smoking crack. When I have a cigarette, I'm like, I'm hunched. I got it, you know, like I'm, I'm, I got a blanket over me. It's like, it's like I just, like, that's why.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Can I tell you, there's been times in my life where I have felt chubbier and I feel like I could never do some kind of fitness endorsement, like meal placement endorsement, because you will see me high as hell, crouched over some Fruity Pebbles, dipping my balls in it. Like you, like, I'm not reliable. I'm not, I'm not able to stay the path forever. Well, no, the, that's because the article will be. She was a fitness. She was a fitness tycoon. And you won't believe what she looks like now. You know what I mean? Like, like that's former, former fitness Ty, right?
Trixie Mattel
Struggling drag artist takes a step back.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Of course she loved that. She liked that.
Trixie Mattel
It is, it is this. I, I, I like, I don't even need oxygen because I have that right. That is like that. That article sustained my, I don't know what it was, was. That was the funniest thing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I was on vacation. She texted it to me, mama, her.
Trixie Mattel
She took a vacation, a hiatus, a sabbatical from drag in every single news outlet in America and abroad. It was front page news.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It was, it was UK news. Struggling drag star text.
Trixie Mattel
The BBC.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, the BBC.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Publicly funded.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, yeah. Like Christina Christian Amanpour, you know, reporting from Yemen and then you eclipsing her with a bigger spread about.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And you know, it's been like a domino effect because a lot of the other drag queens are taking breaks. I know for a lot of them, like, from what?
Trixie Mattel
From like what?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, exactly. From going to brunch, relax.
Trixie Mattel
Trying to get a gig, girl from.
Katya Zamolodchikova
From shitposting on Twitter.
Trixie Mattel
Girl beefing. What do you think about beefing thing?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't see it. I don't get it. But I know that for some people, their presence on the Internet, that's like a fun, it's like playing tennis. It's like a little game.
Trixie Mattel
It's a game. And they're trying to like. I just don't like it. Listen, I'm becoming very, I'm, I'm, I'm 43 years old, I'm not that media literate and I am trying to make progress. I, I don't like it when they get me online, you know, when they do that clickbait thing, like those fucking pieces of shit who will post a picture of like a modern building and then like a gothic cathedral and they say, like, what happened to the world? You know, and then you're supposed to be like, fuck you. And that's what they want you to do because it's engagement based. I don't even know what does that even mean?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right?
Trixie Mattel
Do you know what that is? Can you tell it to me?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I think in the beauty. In the beauty world, they do it where it's like, like, aren't these lashes amazing? And someone p, like purposely puts on 20 strips. Not that I would ever do that.
Trixie Mattel
Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But you know what I mean? They purposely like give a bad haircut to a wig and they be like, isn't it great? Cuz they want you to be like, this is awful.
Trixie Mattel
Okay, this smile changed my life. It's just brown Chiclets, right? Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, did you see that? I don't want to jinx us, but did you see that people are being denied access to the United States for having JD Vance memes on their phone? You guys, listen, I have publicly at tweeted some of those people so many times. And not even like equal, like fairness for all. I've gone to like Donald's Twitter and been like, you look like you smell like, like it's not even like, do you?
Trixie Mattel
Do you?
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I've done it so many times. The other day I was like, should I purge my Twitter? I don't know what to do. Where do I begin?
Trixie Mattel
Girl, I've spent. I think the last four or five things I posted on Twitter is like directed at a US Senator. Like, like, why don't you get the fucking out of your mouth, you stupid fucking. And go do some legislation, you piece of gutter bucket, hypocritical piece of fat. And then like, and it's crazy. And I'm like, is this really helpful?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know.
Trixie Mattel
Is it really helpful? Yes. He is a fake. He is a secret faggot. Is that everybody's business?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, right, but imagine if they have to. If we're at Border Patrol and they have to go through my phone like, oh my God, the Jasmine Masters memes. Like, the, like the other shit on my phone is the shit Brittany Broski has sent me. I should go to jail. You know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
Like, if they went on my phone and they saw the folder that contains about 117 videos of Jason Mamoa's butt in different filters with a mirrored effect. Like forward, backwards, forward, backwards, upside down. It's just very.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The twin porn. I don't know. Too much, too much. Okay, I have to tell you, I got a new one from. I. I flew early to Europe, so I could participate in some tourism. And I'm calling, I call my mom every day when I get here. So you'd be like, I got here, all right. She doesn't pick up. The next day, she doesn't pick up. The next day, she doesn't pick up. Finally, days later, I call Aunt Gooch. I call my Auntie Gooch, and I go, hey, just letting you guys know I made it okay to Europe. And I hear my mom laughing in the background, and I go, oh, is that my mother in the background? And she goes, yeah, she's here. I go, sounds like everything's cool then you didn't pick up the phone. You sure do make the call when you need something, bitch. You know what I mean? Like, Like. And she was like, oh, I was going to call you, but I just didn't know what time it was like, okay, girl. She.
Trixie Mattel
I love that girl.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So then I call her. I call her a couple days ago, and I go, hey, how are you? She was like, oh, I can't really talk right now. I'm going to the bathroom. And I go, oh, okay. Call me after. She doesn't call.
Trixie Mattel
What do you feel like? What do you think about bathroom phone calls? Toilet in specific?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't do it. No, I'm not gonna do that.
Trixie Mattel
Okay. This is gonna.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What do you guys think? Is it okay to be shitting and calling people?
Trixie Mattel
I. Listen, I, I, I have a. I have a quandary, a quagmire. I, I have a conundrum that I just need help with. I just. I. Since we've been traveling, I've been away from the comfort and sanctuary of my home, which is very jarring, and, and to my nervous system, especially my GI tract. So when I go into the airport public bathroom, I have this fear, this very palpable, just visceral fear of. Whilst I am urinating, there is going to be the loudest, most resonant fart that comes out of my butt. Like, like, because not to get gross, but like. Like, I shave my butthole. And to a, To a. To the degree that it is like, like, you know what I mean? Like, like it. Like if. If Simon Cowell saw it on stage, he'd be like, you know what I mean? They'd be like, Paul Abdul would press the button or whatever. I don't know. Like, people. It's good.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The eject button.
Trixie Mattel
No, I mean, it's really.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It was like, hey, lovely bath.
Trixie Mattel
But when you do that, when you do that, there is an acoustic, there's a Change. A sonic phenomenon that occurs and the tiniest. Oh, that can't be. You know, you're thinking this is gonna be a tiny little thing. Like it's. But it's. It's not grow. It's not like shit or anything. But it's so loud. And I mean embarrassed. So do you think I should just stop peeing or. Or just live in my truth?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Can I say that I think that.
Trixie Mattel
Like, would you, like, have. Because it's not gross, it's not shitty. Like, I swear to God, don't ship. I always wear a diaper, by the way.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I think this has to do more with how you feel about it. When to it comes happens. Do you feel embarrassed? Then you should try to spare yourself the embarrassment. But can I tell you, I've been using the same bathrooms as straight men my whole life.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, God.
Katya Zamolodchikova
These people are.
Trixie Mattel
They.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They are. They are blowing noises at like, warp speed, cracking the ceramic in the bowl and like, laughing and like, grunting while doing it.
Trixie Mattel
And grunting, bro, not only not latching the door, they take the door off the hinges.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No.
Trixie Mattel
And they just have wide open. They're just like.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Like, no, I'm in my little. My little urinal, peeing. And it's like, you know, because it's. You know, I take out the diva cup, I empty it. I'm just doing my thing, right over and the straight guy taking a shit. This is. It's Stomp, It's Blue Man Group, it's Riverdance, it's Riverdale. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I forgot to tell you. When I was in Ireland, I went to river dance.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, you did? Did you love it?
Katya Zamolodchikova
How did I. Did I not tell you about this?
Trixie Mattel
No.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Holy. So I was in Dublin. You guys ever heard of it? And I was like, what are we going to do? Okay, let's go to a river dance, right? So I got tickets and there was two tickets of what. What do they call it? Obstructed view? Where the. It's like the very end where you can't see it. No, no, no, no. It's like they technically call it obstructive view. Like, you guys on the very end. You might not see me if I was here. So they're like, oh, it's obstructed view. Meanwhile, these fuckers are tap dancing like crackheads this close to you. Yeah, There is no obstructed view. It is like black wooden shoes. And people who've trained their entire life, their upper body, everything above the ankle is. Is a dick. Injected with seat with trimix. Trimix. It's a Cialis Viagra. It's a complete hard, heavy dick. And the feet are tap dancing at 10 million sounds a minute. It was so crazy.
Trixie Mattel
Did he. Did you. Did it. Did you have a visceral reaction, like, like, in your. Like, did your body, like. Like, cry out for movement?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No.
Trixie Mattel
You know what I mean? You ever, like. Like, just become, like, you know, like, in Footloose, where they just can't help but dance even though it's illegal?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No.
Trixie Mattel
No.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You didn't have that reaction, you mean? It's kind of like how the gay guys feel when they're at a drag show and they're like, I could do that. It's like, oh, you don't. So I don't know.
Trixie Mattel
You know, sometimes when I watch, when I see choreography that's in sync, I think, oh, my God. How do they do that?
Katya Zamolodchikova
That? But that's like the.
Trixie Mattel
The.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Like the gays who. The ones who want to do drag. I'm like, I dare you. To try to put you even one eyeshadow on your eyelid. I dare you. I would love to see it, honey. I would sit over your shoulder and go, I thought that was pretty cute, didn't you? Like, I would really. I would really discourage it.
Trixie Mattel
Gay men.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Gay men. But river dance was. It's 30 years of river dance now. It's been going on 30 years.
Trixie Mattel
30 years of that. All that leg action.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I did some research. Why are you leaving during river dance? Yeah, they're like, oh, you have to pee. All right. You tap dance out of here.
Trixie Mattel
She's got to do a. You know, she's gonna come back doing Riverdance, if you know what I mean.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But I like how, like, when you peed, you were hiding it, and she went to pee, and she was, like, cheating out. She was like jazz running. Oh, I know what.
Trixie Mattel
This is so ridiculous. The answer was staring him. Staring me in the face the whole time while I'm in the bathroom. I throw out a diversion, right? So I. I'll just.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'm just gonna pull my tights up, but keep going.
Trixie Mattel
I'm gonna. So imagine I'm pulling my tights down to. To extract my little, teeny, tiny, teeny little dinky, right? And then I pee. And of course, I'm worried about the that. So I just go, you'll be grand. You'll be grand. Great. Gonna have the whole world on a plate. Starting here, starting now, baby. Everything's coming up right, and people have just left the bathroom at that point. Right. Or that, that. That beautiful songbird mezzo soprano has drowned out the sound of my flatulence.
Brandon
Right?
Trixie Mattel
So it's really two birds, one stone. People get entertained by my gorgeous songbird voice. Voice. And I can fart in peace.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It doesn't. But I can. I tell you one of the worst things that can happen is when you're trying to go to the bathroom and you open your tick tock and it's full volume like I'm trying to pee. You guys are the people in the bathroom. I'm at a urinal, darling. Hold my head or nothing Beats the jet to Holiday. You know, like, it's so crazy. I'm like so embarrassed. And it's all always like TS Madison. It's never like, it's. It's always like someone suck a dick.
Trixie Mattel
Own a business.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's always something immediately wild.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. Or it's like, you know, I. For some reason I feel like, because I have a. I have a screen protector shield that it works with volume and it doesn't. Like just cuz you can't see it means you also can't hear it. But that, that is surely not the case. So I open like, you know, a porn video will pop up that only I can see, but everybody can definitely hear it. Like, oh yeah, give me that cock. Give me that big hot fucking cock.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I'm like.
Trixie Mattel
It'S embarrassing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I honestly, I don't have a good story for Riverdance other than then I'm glad I saw it. I was like, wow, it's in Dublin. It's Irish culture. Yay. Fun. And so many Irish people have emigrated. Is that when you leave, you emigrate from a country, you immigrate into a country, you emigrate from a country. Right?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Thank you. And I think they're. Which, they're like, we're the country that emigrates the most. I'm like, yeah, the weather. Get the out of there. You know what I mean? Like, get out, get out. But it was cool. It was amazing. It was was. It was, it was. It was. It was wild.
Brandon
You are.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Their feet are right here. I've never seen Irish dance. I didn't understand that. It is tap dancing on Aderall. I don't understand.
Trixie Mattel
They're doing meth.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's crazy. It was so cool though, honestly. And then I, I walked around all around Ireland being like, I saw River Dance. And they're like, yeah, every American does like it. They were not impressed.
Trixie Mattel
Do you guys have. Is nudity legal? Here it's illegal. So I could walk in the town square totally nude and not get arrested. The. The Katya exception. No. No. Is it? No. Because in San Francisco, for example, you can walk down the street completely naked. Ball stick. And you can titties out in San.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Francisco, you can walk around completely naked.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, no problem. No problem.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's like a. It's like a 80 year old man in a Peter Pan outfit in a sock.
Trixie Mattel
It's never the person you want to see naked, of course.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But I tried to hear like, we do have some special Q&As that you guys submitted.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. So we're gonna. We're gonna switch gears slightly and. And the infotainment section of the evening has officially started. So.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Are we keeping you too long? We normally don't go this long, but we never get to come to Norway, so I just felt like.
Trixie Mattel
Let's just do it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
She climbed over the chair.
Trixie Mattel
Cocaine work.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes.
Trixie Mattel
Superwoman over there. Only last 15 minutes though.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Wow.
Trixie Mattel
Okay, let's see. Oh.
Mary
Oh my God.
Trixie Mattel
This is. Oh, boy. O my blood pressure. Okay. Would you rather have a fat ass or never sweat again?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Did you say have a fat ass?
Trixie Mattel
Ass? No. It asks. The question is, would you rather have a fat ass or never sweat again, baby? Well, obviously never sweat again because I could technically surgically enhance my butt. But I mean, this is kind of funny actually, because it's. Would you. The things that I would do to never sweat again are so flagrant and so outrageous like I'd blow up a kindergarten.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right.
Trixie Mattel
You know what I mean? I would kill all of you. I would take the time to individually choke each one of you to death. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And then resuscitate you and then choke you again if I had that opportunity.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And then fuck the body, of course. Yes.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I, I do. I do have a.
Trixie Mattel
You've got a big old butt.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I got a big butt, so I just do. No sweating. Everybody wins.
Trixie Mattel
Would you rather have a. A 2 inch Peny. Penis? I don't know why I said peny. Would you rather have a 2 inch penis but always know what time it is?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'll re. I'll read a question. There's no point. There's no point in the show where you have to make up questions.
Trixie Mattel
Don't stifle my creativity.
Katya Zamolodchikova
All right. What are your top three TV shows that you think everyone should watch?
Trixie Mattel
Oh, mama. Let's. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Let's see. Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh.
Trixie Mattel
Comedy or drama?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Let's do that's all it says.
Trixie Mattel
Okay. We're doing comedies. Okay. Comedy. The Comeback.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The Comeback, of course.
Trixie Mattel
Comeback. You gotta watch Veep. You gotta watch Veep, and then you gotta watch Curb your enthusiasm or you gotta watch. No, yeah, that's it. Curb, Veep and the Comeback. And if you want. Ooh. Ooh. Oh, There was a really good British one where they did a whole segment on pedophilia as a joke, and it was like the. This hysteria that they called Peto Geddon, where pedophiles were, like, dressing up like schools and like. Like. Like to catch children. It's a little dark. It's a little dark. An acquired taste. But it's. I think it's called. I don't know, something nighty Night or something like that. Yeah, that. That's a good one. That's a good one.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'm gonna say the American Office. I love it. And I would say you prefer that.
Trixie Mattel
To the British one.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, but it's only one season. Yeah, but it is special, though. And then Buffy the Vampire Slayer, of course.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And, you know, I'm gonna say HBO Watchmen.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, totally.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know I'm gonna say it. I don't care. I'm just gonna say it.
Trixie Mattel
It. I would. So in my dramas would be.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Ass.
Trixie Mattel
Ass.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They. They only ask for three.
Trixie Mattel
Would you consider yourselves any of the following gay. I think these are Norwegian words. Tating tight. What the is that? What, am I having a stroke? What is that? Did you see that?
Katya Zamolodchikova
What did that girl. I don't know what these say.
Trixie Mattel
I don't know. T, E, I, T, I, N, G. What is that? What? I'm going to skip this one.
Katya Zamolodchikova
A. A dork. Do we look like dorks to you?
Trixie Mattel
Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You think all these people came out of their own ice shanties to see a dork.
Trixie Mattel
Tating Sven or Drit Hold. I'm assuming it's sexy hot or like really sexy.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Fly hot. Sexy and beautiful. Can you do your best Norwegian accent?
Trixie Mattel
Oh, and can you sing the Norwegian national anthem? I actually can do both of those things.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Rise for the Norwegian. That's not good.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's not your way.
Trixie Mattel
It's Norway and it's gorgeous and I love it. And we're here and we're great, and that's wonderful, baby. Okay. It's not my way or the highway or your way. It's Norway.
Brandon
Norway.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Norwegian accent. I mean, it's hard for me because I'm a Swede and people think it's so similar, but we know that they're very different. It's like when you hear somebody from Sweden, it's like, whoa. You know, really different. But Norwegian is exactly kind of like this in a slide. I went down to the royal palace today. You know, this kind of.
Trixie Mattel
Mine is terrible. Mine.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The rage.
Trixie Mattel
And the accent sounds like that. I don't know. That sounds like it's just a bunch of rocks in my mouth or moon.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's okay, Trixie. What's one thing you wish you could predict?
Trixie Mattel
9, 11. Oh, you'd be a hero. Could have saved a lot of lives. Could have been on the news.
Katya Zamolodchikova
We just talked about it. I recently had a. I had a. Like a girl. I had a premonition of somebody of a group of people dying in atrocities. Natural disaster. And it happened the next day. And I would like. We talked about it yesterday.
Trixie Mattel
I know, but you got to talk about it again.
Katya Zamolodchikova
