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

The Bold and the Beautiful. Get some of your fan mail.
Trixie Mattel
This is Shut the up.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Love you ladies.
Trixie Mattel
Oh.
Katya Zamolodchikova
From the Bold and the Beautiful.
Trixie Mattel
Bold and the Beautiful. You probably get the weirdest. I'm so sorry. Damn.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They probably get like dog ears and like skeletons and like weed gummies and stuff.
Trixie Mattel
Oh my God.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I always forget that the Bold and the Beautiful exist. I also forget that Yelena Zamolachikova is a real person who probably despises me.
Trixie Mattel
It says love you ladies. I love that your fan mail is getting redirected. Always. Rachel Rose Oginski. Oginski, casting associate. That's so funny because I get all those actresses W2s.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I get their 1099. I have to pay them. Wait, wait, wait. I got it. Before we start. Before we start. Well, we're started. I have been doing. I have been learning an activity that is so basic and so embarrassing, I almost didn't want to share it. Learning how to type correctly. I think I told you this on the phone the other day. Mary, let me tell you, I'm. I was a hunter and a pecker. You know how the hunter gatherers back in the day. Back in the day, I was a hunt and pecker. You hunt and peck. You look and you, and you. You don't look at the screen like. You know what I mean? That's what they call it. So that was me all throughout our ball, throughout my life, in our two books, best selling books, by the way. Hunt and peck. Hunt and peck. Embarrassing. So now I'm. You know what I did.
Trixie Mattel
How did you write papers in college?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hunt and peck.
Trixie Mattel
That's fucked up, girl.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But it's. But it's. Here's the thing though. If it's not as if like my peers were doing this.
Trixie Mattel
Right? That's right. This was, this was the 90s.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You had to think about shit and nothing came that quickly. It wasn't like, oh, the papers in your brain. And you just needed to like, you know, load it onto the page. No, you know what I mean? It was like you just had to think of a sentence. Oh, that sucks. Erase it. Go back. You know what I mean? It was like I wasn't a stenographer is what I'm trying to say.
Trixie Mattel
We had to take keyboarding in sixth grade. But honestly, my middle school experience was when like MSN messenger, like really hit and so you would go home and type to your school friends all day.
Rachel
I did that, too.
Trixie Mattel
And so in class, we had the stupid classes to learn A, S, D, F, J, K, L. And then I would go home and type to your friends. And then you accidentally become good at typing. Yeah, like, I never tried.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know. It's like speaking a language. It's like, it literally.
Trixie Mattel
Did you know Peppermint uses. Peppermint uses T9 to text.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What the fuck is that?
Trixie Mattel
Like, like, determine. Put the number multiple times to hit, like, C. And then swear to God. Swear to God. Wait, I don't want to air her.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Dirty laundry, but believe the name. Believe the name. Are you kidding me?
Trixie Mattel
Girl, that's. I swear.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Does she also, like, fax all of her invoices in, like. Like, what in the. Does she have cable?
Trixie Mattel
I'm calling her.
Rachel
Dial up.
Trixie Mattel
I'm calling her.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That is Wacky Jacket.
Trixie Mattel
Peppermint. Peppermint.
Rachel
Damn.
Trixie Mattel
Pepper Meow. Pepper Meow. Hello? Pepper Meow.
Katya Zamolodchikova
One of the first drag queens I ever saw live.
Trixie Mattel
She probably blocked me.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I hope she has.
Peppermint
Hey, you reached my voice.
Trixie Mattel
What a cunt. I hate that shit.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hello?
Trixie Mattel
I almost started talking.
Rachel
Hello.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hi, leave a message. It's so diabolical.
Trixie Mattel
I know.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Wait, did I hear we called Peaches Christmas a gossip on the pod and she called me and she was like, I heard that you said that I was a gossip. I said, you're doing it now.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know you heard. She's so fierce. I love it.
Trixie Mattel
But, yeah, peppermint uses T9. So what's the prognosis on you getting good at typing? Is there a goal?
Katya Zamolodchikova
So, okay, let me. Let me. Let me run you through, because I'm.
Trixie Mattel
Like thousand pound friends. They lose the weight and then they have like a coming out party where they win a waist belt. Are you going to have, like, a typing party?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, I'm going to have, like. Well, I'm going to write the great American novel in three and a half days.
Trixie Mattel
So.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No. So basically, let me tell you something. Let me. Baby, baby, honey, I need you to look and listen to understand what I'm talking about. Like, oh, I'm working on my tan. I lotion up, okay? I lotion up. And then my body becomes very slick and it's semi sensual. I wear very scantily clad undergarments. And then I perch erect at my computer. Now, I start with the very basics, of course. I'm talking D and K. That's what we're working on this lesson. D and K in space. D and k.dnk all the placement of the fingers. I haven't even ex. I haven't even gotten to all the letters yet.
Trixie Mattel
Can I give you some tips?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No.
Trixie Mattel
Yes. One of the helpful ones is keeping the wrist high.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, I have to.
Trixie Mattel
This is bad. And this will hurt after a while. You.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I know, but it's so chair posture, huh?
Trixie Mattel
Like being the right height and everything from it is good too.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's essential. This is what I have to do.
Trixie Mattel
Also, MacBooks suck. When I wrote our book.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They suck.
Trixie Mattel
Thank you. Sorry. I wrote it on my gaming PC so I could sit at a real chair with a real keyboard that clacks.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And like you realize I'm three seconds away from ordering a typewriter from Amazon. Mary, I like. I just. I want to clack and I. I can't have. I make so many mistakes.
Trixie Mattel
Pair to the MacBook if you like the clacking, girl. They have them on Tick tock.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, Typing Club gives you the clacking, but it just puts it in there.
Trixie Mattel
Typing Club.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, it's fabulous. It's free.
Trixie Mattel
Is it like. I think it's like duolingo for typing. Is that what it is?
Katya Zamolodchikova
It just teaches you how to use the keyboard. It's really wonderful and fabulous and they should give me. Why? I already bought their subscription, so they might as well sponsor us.
Trixie Mattel
Whatever.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But this keyboard I recently upgraded to this wireless keyboard and mouse combo I just found. Let's hear which keyboard sounds the best to you. That sounds like tap dancing. I love the one on a Typing club. I like the sounds they use. It's kind of keyboard sounds. It's kind of like a typewriter.
Trixie Mattel
You like creamy.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, no, that sounds like. Because you. It sounds like tap dancing. That does not sound like fingers. This sounds like feet.
Trixie Mattel
I love that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, anyways, the. The sounds they have on Typing Club are fabulous. And I literally just. So the first two hours. I'm telling you, it's Peppermint. Oh. Oh.
Trixie Mattel
I ignored the call.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Perfect.
Trixie Mattel
To a transomement in 2025.
Rachel
Now.
Peppermint
How dare you, girl?
Trixie Mattel
I'm sorry. I would. We. How are you, girl?
Peppermint
I'm good, girl. What's going on, girl?
Trixie Mattel
Katya's. We're on the pod and Katya is learning to. He doesn't know how to type with a computer very fast. And we were talking about texting. I said I think that peppermint uses T9. Is that true?
Peppermint
It's the truth.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Talk about it.
Trixie Mattel
Why do you like it?
Peppermint
I love it because it allows me to do one handed typing. So like just holding my phone in one hand and then type just with my thumb rather than two hands, you know, two thumbs.
Trixie Mattel
And what's the other hand doing?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, what's the other hand do? I make a frozen pizza, Usually punching.
Peppermint
Somebody in the face, I don't know, eating something, whatever. But the. But I also, on my phone, have. It's not only T9, because regular T9 is, like multitap, meaning you have to, like, push like. Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Like, multiple times.
Peppermint
Yeah. But I also have predictive on. So, like, it predicts the words just like it does probably on any other keyboard. So, like, if I was going to type the word love, instead of having to type 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, I just type 5, 5, 4, 8 3. And then it just types the word love.
Trixie Mattel
I see what you're. It kind of like 99% of the time gets it right, probably.
Peppermint
Oh, yeah. It's 90. The only time it doesn't get it right. I'm sure it gets it right the same amount of time as people who use the QWERTY keyboard. But I also. But I mostly. If I'm typing a lot or if I have a lot to say, then I'll use voice text, and that's where it goes wrong sometime.
Trixie Mattel
Well, girl, I just had to get confirmation on the T9. Thank you for representing the T9 community.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Thank you for all. T9 is valid.
Trixie Mattel
Love you, girl.
Peppermint
Love you.
Trixie Mattel
Bye. Who was that?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Her T9 was valid.
Trixie Mattel
Her T. I just think of her being like. I'll tell you exactly why. T9 is fierce. She's right, though. I mean, if you're not having to do 555 like, that to me is like peppermint. We got to get you out of the butter churning. We got to get you out the bottom on the prairie.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, that's very 2002. Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, yeah, but she's very 2002.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, I saw her in the year. I think it was 2000. Must have been two. No, it actually could have been. No, I swear to God. It actually could have been that long ago. No, but the. The. The first day. What the f. It's like, with any discipline, that's like your first day of anything.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You're not gonna be an expert. Right.
Trixie Mattel
That's why you're there.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But because of. Because of, like, 40. Whatever years of. Or 30 or something. Years of incorrect muscle memory.
Trixie Mattel
Right.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Girl, it was like I had just gotten legs for the first time, and I was like. I was like Ariel.
Trixie Mattel
Two books in, by the way.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I was like Ariel, like, with that like, whoa, what do I do with these? You know, it was so, it was so discouraging. It was so humbling. It was so embarrassing. It was so rotten, wretched and ruthless. And I have been diligently, like, spending time. In spite of my extremely busy schedule, I have been carving out the time to devote to this activity. So I think I've been doing about three hours a day. And yesterday or last night was the first time I got a whole fucking thing error free. And do you realize I almost screamed at the top of my lungs, like out the window, just like.
Trixie Mattel
Do you watch TV while you do it?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, no, I just.
Trixie Mattel
You sit silently and, and keyboard yourself.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, I. Sometimes I'll have a musical piece on something by Mozart or Chopin. But I want to watch TV because I, I suppose I know I can't, right? I could hear the tv, but I.
Trixie Mattel
Like listen Tammy Brown music.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I feel like that would be counterproductive to type incorrectly. But like the, it's, it's. I like the hearing of the clickety clack girl stresses me out. This, the, the, the, the, the, the challenges and how fast they want you.
Rachel
To go stresses me out.
Trixie Mattel
So if you flop, they make you do it again?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, you just get an error sign. You can, you can delete and go back or you can just keep going. It's, it's very helpful type in club is they eat.
Trixie Mattel
How many hours a day are you devoting to this?
Katya Zamolodchikova
About two to three.
Trixie Mattel
Are you lying?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, no, I, I enjoy it. Like, I'm having a blast. Because now, now that I got one fucking lesson right, I'm like, I'm the.
Rachel
King of the world.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I mean, now I can actually envision, it's like when you get your, when you get your first kick up into a handstand or you get your first, like, standing back tug, you're like, oh, I could be a gymnast.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
I also think, I mean unironically, I think that this will shave off time in your life when you have to write something again, which is never. Which is never.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, I'm never for who.
Trixie Mattel
When do you think you will? Do you think that you're Paul Sheldon?
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, but do you know that I.
Rachel
Use my computer quite often to look stuff up?
Trixie Mattel
You're right. Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I don't want to be like, I don't want to be a Hunt and Pecker. I don't want to be Helen Hunt, you know, I don't want to be Ms. Pecker.
Trixie Mattel
Do you ever swipe, text, do you ever swipe?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Never in my life.
Trixie Mattel
Not one time. I got into it for a while.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Never in my life.
Rachel
Not one time.
Trixie Mattel
It is fast.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I feel like it's the devil's work. It's diabolical. I don't get her.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I mean, with my fingers, with my thumbs. Yeah. I could write. I mean, like everybody else on this earth, but I hate that.
Trixie Mattel
Right?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I do. I really, really, really like. Like a very well functioning voice to text because I like enunciating like a faggot.
Trixie Mattel
Hello, everyone.
Rachel
I am so pleased.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Actually, whispering works best. I found.
Trixie Mattel
Hello.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Like if my duolingo, if it wants me to speak, I whisper accurate.
Trixie Mattel
And it works.
Rachel
Yeah. It's like, hi, Trixie, I'm wondering if you have two hours on Friday to go over some details for the next shoot we're going to do, period. I'd really love to get this in the bag tomorrow, period. Perfect.
Trixie Mattel
Sue Ellen, we need that QED report.
Rachel
Yeah, I am right on top of that rose. Period.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. No, the whisper. I love the Miss Whisper.
Trixie Mattel
Do you think that I'm right on top of that rose? Like, I remember old gays telling me about, like mommy dearest. Are we. Are we speaking of a black and white relic when we tell the young gays I'm right on top of that rose? That's a good.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Is it? Is our. Do they have Tina bring me the axe are right on top of that rose or like no wire hangers?
Trixie Mattel
Right?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't know. But I. What I do know is that I stand by the fashion montage in that fucking movie. Ms. Suellen Crandall on her way to become a corporate drone. The earrings, baby. The intricate hairdos, the updos, the power clashing jacket with the turtleneck. Oh, it's just like for the 90s, you know, when it was kind of tough fashion wise, sometimes it was that and then rose. Lindsay always gave it to you with that incredible page boy with all that weight and volume.
Rachel
This episode of the Bald and the Beautiful is sponsored by Airbnb. Hello, fellow travelers. I just returned from the mountains above Los Angeles, where autumn burns in copper and gold and the world feels stitched together by mist and pine. I stayed in a rustic yet gorgeous log cabin hosted on Airbnb. And it was so delightfully perfect, it could have been dreamt up by Thoreau himself. It had stone fireplaces, creaky floorboards, and the faint aroma of wood smoke and coffee con leche. As I watched the morning fog slip through the hills, I realized something. While I was away, my own Hollywood home could be earning its keep.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Because, like me, you already have a home.
Rachel
So why not host it on Airbnb? It's a practical, beautifully simple idea. While you're away, your home could be hosted on Airbnb. It's like making your vacation on the house, financing itself while you chase new horizons while frolicking in the pine scented woods above Los Angeles. Now, for me, the next horizon is the picturesque Amalfi coast this Christmas. Sparkling seas, endless plates of tagliatelle enjoyed al fresco, and perhaps a fleeting flirtation with a charming Italian man with dark features who rides a Vespa and will serenade me with a mandolin as the waves gently caress the shore. And if I list my place in Hollywood while I'm living my Italian Christmas dream, that bit of extra income could help fund the kitchen remodel I've been daydreaming about since spring. The best part is it's easier than ever to host. So whether you're heading to the mountains, the coast, or somewhere in between, consider it a vacation that can help pay for itself. Find out how much your home could be worth if you hosted on Airbnb, because your next trip could be a vacation on the house. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much@airbnb.com host that's airbnb.com.

Host today's episode of Bald and Beautiful is brought to you by BetterHelp. You better help. I'm going to tell you, I've gotten help and help is fine, but when the help is better, oh my God, everything is different. I want to tell you this too. You are not a machine. You are not only validated by what you produce. We live in in a country. Well, I live in a country where everything is about, you're only worth what you can make. You're only worth what you can produce. And it doesn't give you any time to strip all the way, strip all that away and think, if I wasn't my job, if I wasn't money, if I wasn't what I owe people or what I'm generating. What about myself do I really like? And what about myself can I appreciate? And on the flip side of the coin, what part of myself can I sharpen and improve on? I know for me I'm my best self when I'm in a mood where I can take time to focus on friends and family. Because for me, it's almost a little out of character. But it's something I've been trying to do better. Well, last year I talked about in therapy a little bit about my family and communicating. And just two days ago I called my mom and said, hello, I haven't spoke to you since September 22nd. Let's talk. And I know for me just making the call and not having anxiety about like I haven't talked to this family member in a while, you know, just picking up the phone and doing it, I know that I leave that conversation like a better person for the day. Feeling like I touched base with my family. I feel better about it, but that's because therapy gave me an opportunity to reflect and like improve. And what I like about better help, specifically talk therapy at Better help is you can do it from any time, anywhere. You can switch therapists at any time for any reason. You don't have to be on camera that day. You could sometimes just do a phone conversation. I've even been on airplanes where I do therapy via like messaging for the day because I'm on a plane. There are so many ways to get care and it makes it easier to get it. I live in Los Angeles where I have done in person therapy and I would be in the car for an hour trying to get a few miles away. You know, I always did therapy in the afternoons. A 5pm trip to therapy in Los Angeles, then you need therapy. The traffic makes your mental state worse. This month don't wait to reach out, okay? Whether you're checking in a friend or family or anybody or to a therapist yourself, BetterHelp makes it easier to take that first step. Our listeners get 10% off their first month@betterhelp.com Baldwin that's Better Help. H E L P.com bald you better help. Have you gotten these targeted like reels that are the people getting the eye color change surgeries with the contact lens just inserted into the skin. Girl, you want to talk horror. I every time one comes up I have to watch it and I watch it pissed. Pissed off. The reveal of these people having Hollywood.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Boulevard, Dorothy's sort of 34.99 Halloween shipment demonica or exotica or the gothica lenses. It's diabolical.
Trixie Mattel
It's 45 year old dusky gentleman saying give me the ice blue eyes with the bloodshot red white.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well that's what I get into. I want this full sclera black with a little bit of red on the sides. I it's fierce girl. It's fierce. I am a person. I am a person who gives less than any about eyes.
Trixie Mattel
Like it needs to be Investigated. David Boanas and Bones needs to get down here. Scully and Mulder, every TV Columbo get down here.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Jessica Fletcher, Matlock. Yeah, Both of the ones, the old one and the new one.
Trixie Mattel
It's crazy. The comments are like, you need to stop doing this to people.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
The comments are like, it's flagrant.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's flagrant. It's flagrant. It's so insane too. It's like I look back on our years of like using those crazy contacts for dramatic drag effect. It just looks ghoulish and weird.
Trixie Mattel
But it's not even always successful for the dragoons.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So what about frequently not. And I understand what it can be helpful in that. It. Because your lashes, for example, and your heavy dark makeup, you can see your eyeballs on the stage. Sometimes you can't. But these people are human beings going to nine to five bank jobs and what have you. And they look like they're in a, like a low budget Alien movie. It's so wild. I don't ever give a shit. I have never given a shit about eye color or eyes in general. Like, oh, he has the most amazing eyes.
Trixie Mattel
Who cares?
Katya Zamolodchikova
You don't fuck his eyes.
Trixie Mattel
That's what I get. What I don't get is looking in the mirror and like dark eyes light. A lot of things people could do if they wanted to change up their look. Hair, outfits, injectables, veneers. Yeah. A facelift, a tan.
Katya Zamolodchikova
A tan diet ears, pin backed. It's a gold tooth.
Trixie Mattel
Like, give me the good old Hollywood Boulevard permanent lenses. And then the follow up, they're like, how are you loving it? They're like, honestly, it's incredible. And they're sitting there with their eyes look like two little M and M's.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's so up.
Trixie Mattel
It's up, girl.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's weird.
Trixie Mattel
Make it stop.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I will, I will. I will devote my life to that. I'll stop working for PETA and I'll. I will. I'll focus my efforts on. No more color contact. Eyeball surgeries.
Trixie Mattel
It's. I don't know what it is. What's the. What's another.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What's the equivalent of it getting, like, is there equivalent? Because it is so outrageous. It. It's so bizarre and it's so fraudulent.
Rachel
What.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What's another thing? Like, I don't.
Trixie Mattel
It would. The British. The British veneers, when it's like one.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Big white tooth where it's just like a porcelain retainer.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. Like maybe like that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Do you. Speaking of that, do you know Where I can get a feel. A very realistic orthodontia made of brace teeth. With braces. Because that's going to be my new drag look.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, Dr. Sun probably do it for you.
Rachel
Really?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. She can do cosmetic work or like something you could put in and take out.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Flipper. Yeah, with braces. The old fashioned kind.
Trixie Mattel
She has every kind of dental knowledge you could ever get.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Fierce.
Trixie Mattel
Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I also looked. I looked into sedation dentistry, because baby, it's dent. It's. I'm long overdue. And I. I mean, wow. Front page news. Nobody a person doesn't like going to the dentist.
Trixie Mattel
It's awful though.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But like, I want to be. I want them to just put me in a coma.
Trixie Mattel
Right?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Put me in a coma.
Trixie Mattel
It sucks. Even the cleaning. I'm a little overdue for cleaning. I.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Even the cleaning. It's the cleaning.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
When the dental hygienist takes out her Nazi, like suitcase full of torture instruments.
Trixie Mattel
The rifle with the bayonet on the end. That's how they clean your teeth.
Rachel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's like we don't have picks or like little water hoses.
Trixie Mattel
I also give up because it's like I have. I floss every day and no matter what happens, you go in and they're like, are you flossing?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Yes, I am.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Well, and that's another thing is too. It's like, you can lecture me. You can, but you can't torture me at the same time. You got to pick a lane. You can't do lecture and torture. Plus, now that I'm a little bit more aged and have a teeny bit more ability to kind of stand up for myself, I am not a. You know, I can lightly touch the hygienist and say, this is extremely painful.
Trixie Mattel
Right.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I'm.
Trixie Mattel
I want to stay there and let them pull the tooth. I mean, like, it's great. Love it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The old me would have stayed there. Tears like. Like soaking the chair with sweat, gripping the thing and then just tears coming out of my eyes. That was like last year.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's crazy.
Trixie Mattel
But not the new. You changed everything.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The tan.
Trixie Mattel
It was the. Your hair is kind of. Molly in Danger girl.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Autumn Sunrise.
Trixie Mattel
No, no, the cut. The bowl cut she has in that movie.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, Molly Jensen.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Molly Jensen.
Rachel
Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But I wish I.
Trixie Mattel
You said Autumn Sunrise.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, my God. I wish, though, because she had that kind of. My mom had that haircut. My. My mom's sister had the haircut. It's like. It's the. It's kind of like a Tapered. Fade on the.
Trixie Mattel
That woman also has it in. Is it hand that marks single white female? Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Right, baby?
Rachel
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
She really has it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Bridget Fonda.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. Mary.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's the kind of shit I'm like.
Trixie Mattel
Did you see they're redoing hand that works a cradle. How do you feel?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't feel great. I don't feel great. I don't feel great about it at all.
Trixie Mattel
I.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I don't. Rebecca. I saw a thing with Rebecca De Mornay, how she was. She just found out about it. She wasn't approach or anything. Not that she needs to.
Trixie Mattel
To be approached.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's not, you know, if they're not thinking of redoing the movie or whatever. But I give her the cameo.
Rachel
No.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Make her be the friend. You know, the friend of. But I think it's a series.
Rachel
Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Or the gardener.
Trixie Mattel
Or the gardener.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But because there's an iconic scene that is extremely disturbing. It's just a dialogue between Peyton Flanders and the. I forget what his name is. Wilson. Maybe the gardener. Where she says a very prohibited word and it's like it.
Trixie Mattel
I remember that when she's talking to the gardener.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. And it really. Right before she frames him for like molestation.
Trixie Mattel
Yes.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It really cements her villainy.
Trixie Mattel
She's evil.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, she's evil.
Trixie Mattel
And it does its job. The viewer goes, oh, this is awful.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's crazy.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's extremely impactful. It's like one. It's not like on a comedy, a stupid comedy, but, you know, it's Seth Rogen or whatever. Or whatever. Where it's used to be like, just willy nilly as an insult. This is a very. It's like, oh, this woman is evil. I doubt we're going to get that kind of edge, but maybe we will.
Trixie Mattel
I don't know. They'll probably go crazier. I think it'll be like Megan, where it's like super gay now.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I hope not, because I love the.
Trixie Mattel
Hand that Rocks, the Hand that slays the Cradle Diva. It's all going to happen during Pride.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, no.
Trixie Mattel
The Pride campaign. The Hand that Rocks the Cradle float in the WeHo Pride parade.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What would that be?
Trixie Mattel
The real gaze of weho rocking a cradle on top of it. No, the Fab Five.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's a breast pump.
Trixie Mattel
The Fab.
Katya Zamolodchikova
She rigged the greenhouse. And she rigged the greenhouse for me. I love that movie.
Trixie Mattel
The last episode of all the Beautiful, when you had the longer blonde wig on somebody, you looked like fashion superstar Carson Kressley.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, yeah. Love that. That's I take that as a very good compliment.
Trixie Mattel
Can I tell you some other things that happened?
Rachel
Yes.
Trixie Mattel
I haven't seen you in so long.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's true.
Trixie Mattel
I went up to Wisconsin for my birthday.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, happy birthday, by the way. I did not get you a single gift.
Trixie Mattel
That's totally okay. I turned 36.
Katya Zamolodchikova
30.
Trixie Mattel
And I was supposed to. 36. I was supposed to go for the full weekend, but as you know, I got a very exciting television thing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh yeah, you got an Oscar?
Trixie Mattel
Nom. Yeah. No, but I got this tiny little TV job that was so worth staying in town. I love the show. So I was like, I'm doing it. So I end up taking the red eye to Green Bay. I've never red eyed to Green Bay. Being at the Chicago airport at like five in the morning was weird. I don't know what it was. I think it was on American. So I get my rental car and I asked for a Volkswagen Jetta. And they go, we upgraded you. It's a Hyundai Sonata.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What?
Trixie Mattel
That's not an upgrade.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But it was. Can I say it's a Ferrari Testarossa.
Trixie Mattel
Good. Gorgeous lane assist, gorgeous safety features. It had the thing intuitive, what do you call it, where it'll cruise control until you get so close to a car and then naturally slow down. I was barely driving. I just had both nipple. I was wired both nipples hooked up.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
So I get to up north in Wisconsin, the cabin I got on Airbnb. Am I so big that the chair is just disintegrating?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Huge.
Trixie Mattel
Damn. I get up there and I guess I didn't quite pay attention because up north in Wisconsin, the two types of rentals are either one tiny little cabin with like one toilet, one bedroom, or a McMansion. Massive estates. Yeah, not McMansions, like sprawling estates. I accidentally got the sprawling estate. So I get there.
Rachel
How many square feet?
Trixie Mattel
Two entire buildings, two different buildings. Sleeps 15.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What?
Trixie Mattel
Yes. So I get there, it's four of us, right? Me, my friend, my brother, his girlfriend, and we're all there. And I realized quickly, I'm like, this is. It's maybe a quarter mile from the street I grew up on in that trailer. And for the weekend it was three grand. I was like, damn, Dan, we lived in the wrong fucking house in this neighborhood. Because apparently some of these are fierce rentals. But it was gorgeous. It was a great week. Went on little walks, went to bars, went out to eat, had a wonderful time. It's always good to go up there and just check it out, kick the tires, make sure everything's Going. Going good.
Rachel
Kick the tires.
Trixie Mattel
Love going up north. Silver Cliff, Wisconsin. Gorgeous, gorgeous place to visit.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Picturesque, epic vistas.
Trixie Mattel
Well, my dream was to go to the Marinette County State. The Marinette County Fair.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Now, what's the dry there?
Trixie Mattel
It's in Wisaukee, Wisconsin. I used to go every summer and I was like, you know, I want to do. For my birthday this year, I want to go check out that fucking fair. Loved it. Went there.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Pig contests.
Trixie Mattel
Yes. So 4H is huge. So there's all these animal barns. Get to see the baby animals, the chickens, mini moos. What Mini moos? What's a mini moo?
Katya Zamolodchikova
A small cow. No, no, I mean micro cow. It's true. It's true.
Trixie Mattel
Love to see the goats. Anytime it's a black goat, instantly evil. I always think it's instantly evil. The witch movie where the goat is evil.
Rachel
Philip.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Dr. Phillip. Dr. Phillip. Dr. Philip.
Trixie Mattel
Phil. Black Phillip. Yes. So whenever I see a black goat with the horns, I'm like, that's the Satan goat. Sure, sure.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Very reasonable.
Trixie Mattel
Love to see the chickens. Love to see these children who know everything about animals, like Little Miss Fames who are, like, standing next to their cage with their chicken with the blue ribbon and being like.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, because I probably grew up on a farm.
Trixie Mattel
Right, Right.
Rachel
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Also, I got. There's always Ms. 4H, who's always that. It's like a. A girl wearing a crown in a prom dress who's like the queen of the fair.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What are the four H's?
Trixie Mattel
I. Hospitality. Homosexuality.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Hobo is H vac and H vac and homoism.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. Yes, hoboism. So then I go in and there's having a part of the animal. The kids all show the animals and they give awards, like Best in Show, basically.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
But it's farm animals, right? Yeah. So I'm watching, and. And there's one thing where they all have costumes on. So the animals dressed up and the owners dressed up in, like, coordinating costumes. And one of the kids was, like, in drag in my hometown with, like, a Pink Pony Club goat. My brother and I are watching, and I go. He goes, what do you think? I said it honestly reminds me of Drag Race because it was like, all these people lined up like, thank you, ladies, we've heard enough. And it's all these, like, elementary school kids with, like, truly a billy goat with a clown wig on.
Katya Zamolodchikova
God, it was so. I love that shit. Anybody have a lizard or like a long kila monster or something? No, it's more like farm animals.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah. So I didn't stay around to see.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Who went chickens, etc.
Trixie Mattel
But also love going up there cuz everything's affordable. Like the parking at the fair. Guess how much the parking at the fair was free. $2.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, there you go.
Trixie Mattel
Love it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Parking at Beyonce, 100 bucks.
Trixie Mattel
Love to run into people from high school, see what's going on there, see who's died, stuff like that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, on that, on that note, I am always fascinated by the gay. The post, the gay, the high school reunion for the average gay person. Especially for the person who has not, was not out in high school. You know what I mean? Like you revisit sometimes your success, success story. I would consider myself somewhat of one.
Trixie Mattel
But no one cares about me up there.
Katya Zamolodchikova
No, but they're all like. A lot of them are like either dead or they got a wife or husband they hate or their children or they're like alcoholics. You know what I mean? It's like some of them peak in high school and it's a real sleep, like a real steep slope downward, right? It's always nice to go back and be like, yeah, I'm gay and I'm.
Trixie Mattel
I'm more. I think I'm more like someone. Some. Someone said, someone, Someone. Like I was at the bar and I was like, oh. And they were like, what are you doing in town? I said, well, and I always specify up there, I'm actually from here. Because if you're not of town, everyone hates you. Really? It's tourism. But it's like we hate rich city yuppie people being like, you don't look.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Like a rich city yuppie person.
Trixie Mattel
No, but up there we call them shackers. People who come on the weekends are doing tourism in the summer. It's like on one hand we depend on it for business, and the other hand it's like fucking city people come up here and something about city people in the country, they act like they, it's. It's unplowed earth and they can do anything. It's littering. It's loud music. It's like, like a group of city guys acting like they are better than everyone or you know, it's very.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That littering should be a capital offense punishable by death.
Trixie Mattel
Shoot him.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Chop the head right off.
Trixie Mattel
So then I'm talking to this bartender and I go, she goes, what do you do for a living? I said, oh, I actually do drag.
Katya Zamolodchikova
She goes, you said dragon at entertainment.
Trixie Mattel
I was drunk. Oh, so. And then I go, she goes, there's actually some kid grew up a Few blocks from here, if you like. Some kid grew up over on boat landing 11 road who did the RuPaul's. And I was like, but, but I mean is. They don't know who I am, but they heard someone from there was on Drag Race.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That was you she was talking about.
Trixie Mattel
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Madame laqueer. She's also. No, I'm just kidding. She's also from. We're all kind of Madame La Queer in a way.
Katya Zamolodchikova
In a way, In a way. It was, it was. Wasn't the destination. It was the Madam Liqueurs we met along the way. Great drag name.
Trixie Mattel
Wait, that sounds like the drag king. The drag queen character in like a CW show.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And the widow Von Du can't get.
Trixie Mattel
Enough of that widow fondue.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The widow. No, not fondue.
Trixie Mattel
Widow fondue.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Widow fondue. Little fondue is her son.
Trixie Mattel
Well, there's, there's, there's, there's the big fondue and then widow fondue.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Widow fondue. Speech impediment. Speech impediment.
Trixie Mattel
But it was a fun trip and I love to go to the county fair. It was. If you're not a kid and you don't have kids once you see the animals. Unless you want to watch a tractor pole. I was like, well, what now? You know.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, you know, you're not excited. You don't turn up for the biggest pumpkin contest.
Trixie Mattel
No, that's not till fall festival.
Rachel
Of course.
Trixie Mattel
Fall festival is in September, I believe. Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You love a hayride. You with a hayride girl. Haunted or otherwise.
Trixie Mattel
We do haunted hayrides up there. People with chainsaws. That's coming out of the corn.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's crazy.
Trixie Mattel
Terrifying.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's terrifying.
Trixie Mattel
They have the chain off, allegedly.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It doesn't sound like that when I. Right, it certainly does. And there's plenty of gas in that thing.
Trixie Mattel
When you're kid and you're in your winter clothes on the hayride and nowhere to run.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Mask comes out screaming, legs dangling. Nowhere to run, girl.
Trixie Mattel
Bury. Skirt.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Skirt.
Rachel

Today's episode of Bald and Beautiful is brought to you by Smalls. Now, if you know me, you know I'm not a cat person. You know I'm a lifelong vegetarian. You know that I've had every type of pet. I've had birds. I've had fish. I've had turtles. I've had dogs, cats, rabbits. I've had gerbils and hamsters. Yes, there's a difference. I. I've had really every type of pet. We were a pet family. Even though we were living below poverty, we were a pet family. We loved having a million pets. And so even though I'm not a cat person, I was one of those kids that was raised to really care about the quality of life of your pets. I mean, I would say, you know, human, children, who cares? But pets, animals, that's where I think we really spring, we spring for quality. Don't you think? Like it's 20, 25, turn on the news. I wouldn't say that humans have winning qualities at this point in history, but animals, animals are out here and they can't always do it for themselves. It's up for us to do it for them. And something I do know about cats is they do have to eat. And if you're gonna feed your cat, you should feed them regularly and the highest quality food possible. You guys know our sister podcast, Kelly Mantle. We feed her Smalls and she loves it. She really loves it. Honestly. It's made her so regular, it's made her coat so shiny, makes her sleep deeper. What I love about Smalls is for real for all you cat divas. Smalls cat food is protein packed recipes made with preservative free ingredients that you can find in your fridge. When I first moved to la, my roommate Lee, he passed away. Now he had two cats, Shotzi and Loco, and he would make their cat food from vegetables and like lean chicken. And I had never seen that before. And I feel like with Smalls, that level care for your cat can be available to you, like delivered to your home. I'm just gonna say love animals. I have so many vivid memories of going to buy pet food at the store and hauling giant bags of pet food into the home. I love Smalls because if you're a cat diva, you're busy picking up hair, you don't have time to go to the grocery store. Okay. Unless you have one of those hairless cats and then you're probably doing blackhead extractions. People who love Smalls say that the fur on their cats is softer and I mean their winter coat will be soft and healthy. I just really think we need to do the absolute best we can for our pets. I think it's the most important thing that you can do. What are you waiting for? Give your cat the food they deserve. For a limited time because you are a bald and a beautiful listener, you can get 60% off your first order plus free shipping. When you head to smalls.com bald one more time, that's 60% off your first order plus free shipping. When you had to smalls.com bald do you know what I did just last week?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Did you buy the rv?
Trixie Mattel
I went to Camping World in Sturtevant, Wisconsin and I test drove a bunch of stunning motorhomes. Tell me about it. Well, I thought I was. I had a bunch of ideas for what I wanted to drive, but I thought what I really want to do is go somewhere where I can go in a bunch of them, look at a bunch of them, look at the specs. And the more I looked at them, the more I was like, I want one of these. If I'm going to get rid of my condo, I want one of these.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Big horny expandable ones like Will Smith has.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, yeah. So I got to drive one of the big class A ones. I felt magical and powerful.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You don't need a special license. You don't need a special license for those.
Trixie Mattel
Not if it's under 40ft and under £26,000.
Rachel
Wow.
Trixie Mattel
So I was cruising down the highway in the giant motorhome.
Katya Zamolodchikova
So you just.
Trixie Mattel
It was so kind.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I have full body chills for the wrong reasons. You just described one of my gravest, most terrifying, emotional, like, nightmare.
Trixie Mattel
I loved it. It was a 2025, so it had a lot of safety features.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, yeah, you're not gonna die, but you're gonna kill like four other people. Or rather I wouldn't die.
Trixie Mattel
That's kind of what I liked about it. I'm like, you want to crash into my car?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I want to be the perp, not the vic.
Trixie Mattel
Right? You're going to bounce off you and your Volvo, bitch.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You really. You're merging onto that freeway with that fucking death machine at £20,000.
Trixie Mattel
The only reason I didn't make the move and buy it was because I have to figure out storage, because I need indoor storage for the winter. And B, would you store that shit?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, Wisconsin.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, and B, I, I bet this is high season. I was like, I bet if I wait till fall, they'll be looking to cut a deal.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Seller's market or buy.
Trixie Mattel
Right? Because everyone's buying it in the summer to go on vacation. But if you buy it before winter, get a good deal, what's it, and.
Katya Zamolodchikova
How much are these things running for?
Trixie Mattel
The one I was looking at was $200,000.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Holy smokes.
Trixie Mattel
But you could get used ones if you wanted. But I looked at six different used ones and they all smelled used.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Well, that's where a little potpourri dangle comes in. A little. A little glade. You put it right on the vent. I just did that recently.
Trixie Mattel
The big ones are for like people who are traveling. It's Sleep six because we got all our snot nosed kids. It's like the kid vibes gotta go.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. We have prolific serial killers on the Lam.
Trixie Mattel
Right.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Then I was in Milwaukee and I drove around to all the different RV parks to tour them all and see what they look like.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What's the vibe?
Trixie Mattel
The people who are part time in RV are very different than the full time people.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Sure.
Trixie Mattel
It's a very different world.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Interlopers. And then hardcorers. The hardcore are a little more grizzled, ornery.
Trixie Mattel
They're on the lamb from society.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Let's say milky eyes.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, yeah. I'm obviously aspiring to be a very part time. So you're summers only.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You're a city slick and interloper.
Trixie Mattel
Let's interloper.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And these people are about to harvest you for organs for sure. When you're not looking.
Trixie Mattel
Okay. For sure.
Rachel
Damn.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Fucking.
Rachel
Hey.
Trixie Mattel
So it was really. I was. I was really scared to drive such a big vehicle. And then. It was thrilling. I loved it.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'm so happy that you love it. I would not be thrilled at all to do that.
Trixie Mattel
Camping world.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Camping World.
Trixie Mattel
Not a great name. I mean, I guess it is direct like the name. What it is. It's a world of camping.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know, I'm obsessed with that REI store, with the guide. The giant fish tank he got in naked. Do you remember that? There was the big REI fear. Yeah. There's a huge like fish tank kind of situation in an REI somewhere in the country. And he just jumped in. Teeny little penis.
Rachel
Love that.
Trixie Mattel
Rei. The most Caucasian store driving.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Listen, I just want to re. I want to reiterate for the 685,000 time. Driving is so dangerous.
Trixie Mattel
But I love it. No.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, you love a dangerous thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Let me tell you why too. Some things I forgot about driving. Some things I forgot about are the peace in the car today when I leave this set with you, which is.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know, you have to drive me home, by the way.
Trixie Mattel
No, but to sit in the car and reflect on what I just did privately while I drive home is like such a missing punctuation of the day. Being in the car alone between, oh, going to the store, going, whatever. Love it. Also buying big shit, putting it in your car, not needing to get help.
Rachel
Sure.
Trixie Mattel
And let me tell you, Drive Thrus.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, I hate drives, Sonic.
Trixie Mattel
I hate Drive Thrus Culver.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Do you know how many times I.
Trixie Mattel
Had Culver's when I was Wisconsin? I was stopping twice a day.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What is Culver?
Trixie Mattel
Sometime. Sometimes I was just stopping for a Diet Coke because I love a, you know, a nice ice, big Diet Coke. And I felt like one of those cunts in the car eating Chicken nuggets. Talking to Tik Tok. You know what I mean?
Katya Zamolodchikova
Talking to Tik Tok.
Trixie Mattel
People love to eat in the car.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, that's right. That's right. They do. They do their.
Trixie Mattel
That's so crashing out.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What's that?
Trixie Mattel
These people need to elevate their definition of crashing out.
Rachel
What does that mean?
Trixie Mattel
Like, oh, I'm having a meltdown. I've hit my breaking point. I'm freaking out.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But I'm filming it crisply and cleanly on TikTok.
Trixie Mattel
It's like, oh, my God, I'm crashing out. They didn't have my shade of foundation. It's like, girl, it, crash out. I watch Netflix. I'm like, people kill their whole family. That's a crash. I also watched this other TikTok that was talking about, like in all these doc. If you watch all these murder documentaries on Netflix, Hulu and the like, it boils down to, like, white men who won't divorce. So they just kill everyone. Like they're having an affair.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The easier, softer way.
Trixie Mattel
Yeah, they're just like, I could never divorce. I guess I'm just gonna have to drown my children and have my wife killed.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hey, listen, different strokes. Have you been. Do you get into Alien Earth?
Rachel
Dare we talk to you about this?
Trixie Mattel
No, but everybody says it's so good.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Babies boy, rewatched. Alien 1 did you. Great, right?
Trixie Mattel
Amazing.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And then Alien 2. James Cameron. Don't really not a huge fan. Titanic. But like, you know, he really goes. He really yanks that shit off. Like he. It's like you see one monster in the first one, you know, there you.
Rachel
See fucking hundreds of them in this one. You see that big ass nasty queen.
Katya Zamolodchikova
With all them fucking laying all them.
Trixie Mattel
Eggs and it's all the queen of the big head.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The queen is Ms. Nasty.
Rachel
Ms.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Nasty. Put some clothes on.
Rachel
You're not.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You're gross. Don't walk out that hive without your clothes on.
Trixie Mattel
Right.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Like bulbous egg. It's just so over the top. They got robots, they got synthetics.
Trixie Mattel
Because in the first one I. When that guy ends up being a robot, I kind of forgot gagged and I was gagged.
Rachel
Gagged.
Trixie Mattel
And the practical effects of his head sitting there talking with the white. With the white blood. Cunty white blood is so weird too.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Same thing in. In Aliens.
Trixie Mattel
Sigourney is so gorgeous.
Katya Zamolodchikova
She's so good. She's so good. She's so damn good. And this fucking. They got this bitch, Ms. Yutani, on the new series where there's five corporations that like, pretty much run the world in this version of Earth. Oh, mama. She goes in. Diva doesn't even begin.
Trixie Mattel
Do you need to watch all the movies? Because I think I've only seen one and two.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's perfect.
Trixie Mattel
Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's actually perfect. Yeah. There's really not a lot of new pertinent. I mean, there is new information, but it's not pertinent. And actually, I feel like it'll make this experience more enjoyable because there will be new discoveries that are actually cleaner and more concise and precise. You will love it. Is hunt. They are turning it.
Trixie Mattel
When I was doing my horror movie binge, like last month, I did watch Halloween one, the one you said you don't really respond to. But then I watched the three that are in the newest ones. The Halloween. Halloween Kills. And Halloween ends.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Okay.
Trixie Mattel
Because you don't really need to watch the middle ones. They cut them out narratively.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And there's one that's really off kilter.
Trixie Mattel
The last season of the Witch that people. Yeah. Oh, are you talking about.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The Season of the Witch is like something else.
Trixie Mattel
Something else.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rachel
Something else.
Trixie Mattel
Well, I think I remember reading that they originally were going to just have it be, if anything, like an anthology series about different things that have happened on Halloween. Oh. But then Michael Myers was so slay that they kind of got locked into that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Interesting.
Trixie Mattel
Weird. Obviously they're gonna do a Gladys prequel. Right? They said.
Rachel
Oh, really?
Trixie Mattel
Of course. They're gonna milk that whore Amy Madigan. Get her her an Oscar.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, no, she was great.
Trixie Mattel
She gotta get behind Nev Campbell, though. They're gonna do the horror Oscars. I have a list, Tony.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, she'd clean up. Hereditary.
Trixie Mattel
I will do the voice, too, at the Oscars. Toni Collette. Hereditary.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Hereditary.
Trixie Mattel
They're gonna say some shit like that.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Who do you think? What do you think your top five horror movies of all time would be? And say. But don't think about too hard, obviously.
Trixie Mattel
The shinning.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The shitting. Yes. The sheening.
Trixie Mattel
The sheening. It eats.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes.
Trixie Mattel
It's. It's. It eats.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's hu.
Trixie Mattel
It's.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
The shinning. Scream.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Scream.
Trixie Mattel
Okay, Abby. And let's say Wally. I'm just kidding. I don't know. Those are maybe the two I can think of.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What about. Okay, three more.
Rachel
Come on.
Trixie Mattel
The first Nightmare on Elm Street, I was.
Katya Zamolodchikova
That's definitely in my list.
Trixie Mattel
Is the Cunt factory.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, that's on my list, too.
Trixie Mattel
Can I say those? Does it have to be five?
Katya Zamolodchikova
It has to be five or I'm Gonna kill myself.
Trixie Mattel
It has to be five. Oh, it. I mean, there you go. All of them.
Katya Zamolodchikova
There you go.
Trixie Mattel
Any and all of them.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, yeah. Mine would probably be Nightmare on Elm Street. One Candyman. The original got would be the.
Trixie Mattel
Don't you love Suspiria?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I like the first one, but I. I don't like. I'm not. I don't nut for it. I've only seen it once.
Trixie Mattel
Okay.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I like the. What is it? Maybe the Hellraiser. The first one, it's pretty nasty. And then the first one, I just rewatched that too. It's crazy. It's crazy.
Trixie Mattel
Love that redhead woman who's wrecked with sexual desire.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yes.
Trixie Mattel
With the whore makeup on.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah. Because it's horny.
Trixie Mattel
It's.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's super horny. Clyde Barker is a very lusty gentleman.
Trixie Mattel
Very lusty. I would fuck that guy who is Skinless Frank.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, absolutely.
Trixie Mattel
In the second one, when he comes out of the bloody mattress and she's kissing him while he has no skin on.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, that's me after his chemical peel.
Trixie Mattel
I. You watch that and you're like, the Cenobites aren't even bad guys. No. They're just travelers opening this.
Rachel
Yeah, they're just.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They're just making their way through the. The universe. Bippity boppity boobity.
Rachel
And then show you what.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, it's. I. I rewatched the.
Rachel
The.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The. The new one, and I'm like, God, this. Like, what was going on here? Like, what was going on here? I. I thought it was. I thought Jamie Clayton as the new pinhead was very intriguing. Very intriguing. But, like, the story was, like, so toothless and. And kind of nothing. It was so weird. So, so weird.
Trixie Mattel
The first one's very sexual.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's very sexual. It's very disturbing. It's very gory.
Rachel
Nasty.
Trixie Mattel
Love that final girl too. That girl from that first one is excellent.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And then my fifth one would be.
Trixie Mattel
Her dad gets killed. I mean, all these people getting killed in her house. She don't even know. Boop. Anytime you're moving in life and someone cuts their hand, it's like an empty house you just bought and there's blood on the floor. You have to move. You have to move, because that's gonna be the awakening. That's gonna be the portals opening. The chains flying out of the walls, up the pussy.
Rachel
That's.
Katya Zamolodchikova
See, that's like. That's the kind of shit when there's. When there's chains flying out from place, like from hell and then ripping my Skin apart. That's when I really try to. That's when I'm really going to reevaluate my choices.
Trixie Mattel
It kind of gross, too, the way the chains grab the skin and stretch it.
Rachel
It's disgusting.
Trixie Mattel
But also, in that first movie, that guy's looking for, like. I mean, obviously the metaphor is also, like, sex and drugs. Right. It's some kind of extreme high that he's chasing with, like, pain and pleasure sensation. Yeah. So then there's these kind of priest figures who have the belief that pain is pleasure, et cetera. Maybe the book is more together, but the movie, I don't. I mean.
Katya Zamolodchikova
The book is just a novella, I believe. I think my number one would be the Exorcist.
Trixie Mattel
Whoa.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Because it's still shocking and you love exercise. Yeah. It's still as shocking as it ever was. Lick me. Lick me. Forcing. Taking her mom's head and putting it in her bloody puss that she just, like, jabbed with a crucifix and saying, lick me, and then throwing her across the room.
Trixie Mattel
That was the movie that people were leaving. Have you ever heard, like, the interviews of people leaving being like, it's obscene. It should be banned.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rachel
Absolutely.
Trixie Mattel
Jesus. See, people get so fucking weird.
Katya Zamolodchikova
But the book is fabulous, too. I mean, I read the book and I tore through. It's a page. Great beach read, by the way. Um, it's like, fierce. Great. William Peter Blatty or something like that. It's a great book.
Trixie Mattel
Beach read, beach read.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Tearing through that shit. Lick me. Lick me. Yeah. Do you know what she did, Your cunting daughter?
Trixie Mattel
If you had a child and they got possessed, I mean, you have to call the exorcism.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Shotgun right to the head.
Trixie Mattel
I'm not calling. I'm calling the two actors from the conjuring who play Ed and Lorraine.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga.
Trixie Mattel
Vera. Vera, get down here. Okay. Get the Ouija board. Let's go.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I'm getting. I'm getting Oda Mae Brown.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, for sure.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Because she could talk him out of anything. I recently we rewatched Ghost with my friend Joseph. He hadn't seen it.
Trixie Mattel
Do you love it?
Rachel
He loves.
Trixie Mattel
Do you cry?
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't know if he cried.
Trixie Mattel
I cried at the end when she says goodbye.
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's too much when she. You know what kills me is when she's. She rolls. She rolls the jar of the penny down the stairs and it breaks and I lose it. It's just such a wonderful, simple image, and it's so lonely and it's so sad.
Trixie Mattel
Oh, her whole life is.
Rachel
Oh.
Trixie Mattel
Do you think she ever gets over it? Do you think she ever dates?
Rachel
I think she absolutely does.
Katya Zamolodchikova
And I think she and Oda are like. They're like BFFs.
Trixie Mattel
If your partner dies, that husband or wife. Do you think. Do you think it's an act of love to never date again? Some people do that. No, you move on. They would.
Katya Zamolodchikova
They would want you to be happy. They would want you to be happy. But the real crime of that movie is that Sam Wheat didn't let her keep even a million of that check. I don't care if it was blood money. You terrorize this black woman's life for like three months.
Trixie Mattel
She doesn't.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You know what I mean?
Trixie Mattel
Yeah.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Where's her reward?
Trixie Mattel
And let. Let. Let your late wife or your widowed wife have a little cash.
Katya Zamolodchikova
How about.
Trixie Mattel
What about half and half the nuns also?
Katya Zamolodchikova
It's a very, like. Do your research, you know, none of these nuns, they could be grifters.
Trixie Mattel
Do your research. They could be Seven Day Adventists or.
Katya Zamolodchikova
What is it, Salvation Army? Hate the gays?
Trixie Mattel
Bummer.
Katya Zamolodchikova
You gotta do your research if you're gonna cash. You got a four million dollar check. I say two goes to Molly. Two goes to Oda Mae Brown. Well, are we gonna do All Stars? Are we gonna do All Stars recaps?
Trixie Mattel
I think we should, but I think we should wait until we, like, run out of things to talk about or we're on tour or, like.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Oh, really?
Trixie Mattel
Cuz I'm afraid of doing them all close together and then we're just another Drag Race recap podcast. All the girls reheating their own nachos.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Is that what's happening?
Trixie Mattel
I don't want to do that. I think our lives are too interesting.
Katya Zamolodchikova
I don't like regular nachos, so I don't want to reheat anything that we.
Trixie Mattel
We don't talk about Drag Race very much.
Katya Zamolodchikova
Yeah, I kind of like that too.
Rachel
Yeah.
Trixie Mattel
Okay. Okay, well, bye. Bye.
Rachel
Bye, Sam.
The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie and Katya
Episode: Your Fingers are Rivers of Intention with Trixie and Katya
Release Date: November 4, 2025
In this lively, hilariously unhinged episode, Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova riff on everything from learning to type as adults, Drag Race gossip, and nostalgia for county fairs to haunted hayrides and horror movie obsessions. Peppered with chaotic tangents, heartfelt moments, and sharp cultural observations, the duo explores the joy and absurdity in daily life—true to their signature style. The episode meanders through typing anxieties, rural Americana, dental woes, and queer pop culture, blending quick wit with real talk on vulnerability and evolution.
"I lotion up. And then my body becomes slick and it’s semi sensual. I wear very scantily clad undergarments. And then I perch erect at my computer… D and K in space. D and K. D and K."
— Katya, describing her typing practice (06:26)
"It allows me to do one-handed typing… just holding my phone in one hand and typing with my thumb.”
— Peppermint on T9 texting (09:35)
"It needs to be investigated. Scully and Mulder, Columbo, get down here.”
— Trixie on eye color surgeries (21:41)
"You can lecture me but you can’t torture me at the same time. You got to pick a lane."
— Katya on dentistry (25:07)
"Culver’s! Sometimes I was just stopping for a Diet Coke because I love a... big Diet Coke. And I felt like one of those cunts in the car eating Chicken nuggets, talking to TikTok."
— Trixie on Midwest car culture (46:00)
"It was the Madam LaQueers we met along the way."
— Katya, drag queen wisdom (34:54)
"Anytime you’re moving in life and someone cuts their hand… it’s like an empty house you just bought and there’s blood on the floor. You have to move."
— Katya, horror film logic (52:24)
True to “The Bald and the Beautiful,” the episode is chaotic, self-deprecating, and deeply queer, balancing playful absurdity with moments of real vulnerability. Conversation veers from high camp to earnest nostalgia, all fueled by the duo’s unique blend of cultural literacy and gleeful irreverence.
For listeners and non-listeners alike, this episode is a wild ride of midlife queer reflection, rural Americana kitsch, pop culture analysis, and body horror appreciation—with plenty of deadpan wisdom, all delivered with a full face and a cackling laugh.
