In short
The episode is a chaotic mix of travel/airport rants, convention talk (TwitchCon, DragCon, Comic-Con/Javits Center), streaming culture (Twitch, ASMR), and pop-culture/media obsession. They also discuss psychic/clairvoyance clips (Sylvia Brown, “Long Island Medium”) and argue about whether intuition is real or fraud. They end up on “observational cinematic compulsion disorder,” describing an inability to stop watching movies on planes when you can see the screen.
Guests
Trixie and Katya (Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova), both drag performers/streamers and frequent collaborators with major entertainment platforms.
Key claims
Old people should not drive; airline seating/window light causes intense distress; Sylvia Brown’s “dead dad” answers are fraud; tarot works because people already know what they feel; TwitchCon production quality was exceptional; streaming is less socially overwhelming than live conventions.
Notable examples
Sylvia Brown “he drowned” clips; TwitchCon drag showcase with Jax (jump-rope hair act) and Bitch Pudding; Javits Center “no smoking” warning; plane watching The Notebook without headphones; Airbnb summer getaway pitch (Santa Ynez Valley/Solvang).

1:20and we're back oh wow how are you how are you
1:26Trixie Mattel:I know. You better not remember when either of the bitches they're gonna be like... I know. I know about you. I'm like, fuck you, you fat. Not fat, but you bald bitch. We were talking about flying in the last episode and I have something that I have to get off my chest and this is a message to all of you fuckers out there. What is it? What? I'm not ageist. Okay. Old people... Should not be driving. ...stay. They stay at 6 a.m., 5 a.m. on a flight, 7 a.m. What? With that fucking window wide fucking open with the sun coming in. Oh, yeah. What the fuck? Reading the fucking newspaper. It is diabolical.
2:07It is diabolical.
2:08Trixie Mattel:It's... Everybody is like tired, flying, tired. Yeah. Window open, watching a movie. It's fucking crazy. Window open, reading a Kindle. It's fucking crazy. Stop it. Old people suck. Sorry. They don't suck, but like close the fucking window. look around use those look around you that cardi b clip where they can't use your fucking eyes yeah are we having an altercation we're having a debate like i just what is that for is that it's from her court appearance which i can't get enough of so good i close the window close the window pouring in i know i know you've been up since three this white is huge for you well my grandmother used to sleep with one foot on the floor.
2:50Why? Like always ready. Hypervigilant. Like she never slept at all really. Vigilant for? Just life. Who knows what's going to happen? Crazy. Like she's up at three is what I'm trying to say. All right. Well, she's dead now. Right. Yeah. She would definitely be the perpetrator of what you're talking about. For sure.
3:11Trixie Mattel:Yeah, I just, I can't take it. I can't stand it. It makes me want to scream. You should. and a lot of times they're not even they don't they're like watching a movie yeah you don't need light for that hoe also that light is so like it's almost like it burns your eyeballs it's so intense and I have like emotional turmoil when it's my window the person behind these window and the window in the middle that I'm not sure if I'm in control of spiritually if you can reach it you can put it down that's what I say because sometimes the person in front of you has the window open that's kind of behind them yeah yeah yeah and you're like I think it's fair game if you can touch it and why in the UK and Europe and stuff, why do they make you open the windows for landing?
3:50Trixie Mattel:They can suck my cock too. I hate it. Ryan Ayer, this is a message for you. Fuck off. Girl, I hate her. I hate her. I hate her so much. All the fuck first class? Empty middle seat? Mary, there's no first class. I can't. It's not first class. It's just the front row. That's all it is. I did a gig last weekend that was so nice because it was in San Diego and I just had to drive. You drove to San Diego? did you take the five I don't know I had to go to TwitchCon what the fuck is TwitchCon Twitch is a platform that people live stream from DJs, video games, whatever and I got to go host a drag showcase at the show so I hosted the drag show basically isn't that the platform where everybody says f*** it I don't know that's hate speech so you can't say that but like on Playstation when you play Call of Duty people are like f*** it Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
4:44Trixie Mattel:And that's not all they say. Oh, God. What do they say? What do they say? Every slur. Oh, no. Every slur. Like little white middle schoolers screaming every slur. Oh. But I don't play those type of games. Like the ones where I don't. Can you explain to me that type of game where like other people around the world are playing? I don't get it. So it's like multiplayer, online multiplayer. Okay. Like what does that mean? Like MMO is like massive multiplayer. What is it? Massive online multiplayer. I forget what you call it. that's like it's like let's say it's basically a glorified game of MMO yes that sounds horrifying so that would be like you and dozens of other people from all over the world in the same game playing together so theoretically is Mortal Kombat like that?
5:27Trixie Mattel:yeah you could play Mortal Kombat against real people so I could be fighting someone in Singapore oh yeah that's fierce I could be fighting RuPaul I mean theoretically theoretically I think RuPaul's making TikToks I don't think she's busy playing PlayStation. Mary, she is saving the world through those Instagram reels. I'm sorry. She is such a fool. The one that Annie, running through the parking lot. Crazy. I'm like, oh my God, keep going, Grandma. I love you so much. The one that's like how I make my clients do it when I do their hair. And the two-ball just looking in a mirror, slowly spinning.
5:59Trixie Mattel:That shit is so funny. She's so, I live for it so hard. It's so fierce. But you know what I've been really into? What? These Sylvia Brown TikToks. What? What? People have been clipping old Sylvia Brown from TV. Oh, my God. He drowned. You have to hear this. Okay. I've been, like, so horny to show this to you. My father's brother disappeared about 20-something years ago, and the whole family has no idea whether he's alive or dead. He drowned. He drowned. Thank you. Thank you. Sylvia, my parents divorced when I was two years old, and I don't know my biological father. You don't want to. Okay. That's it.
6:35You don't. Thank you. Hi, Sylvia. My name is Hasna, and I'm—about 18 years ago, my father went on a business trip and never returned. The day that he was supposed to come, he called and never came. My family surged high and low. No results. So I just want to know if he's dead or alive.
6:54Trixie Mattel:No, he's alive in Florida. Does that make sense? No. No. Thank you. No, but thank you. Does that make sense is so cunty. Does that make sense? He's dead. Does that make sense? No, but thank you. No, she said he's alive in Florida. I know, but like he drowned. That's amazing. He drowned. He drowned. Love that shit. She was such a fraud. Such a fraud. Crazy fraud. I just want to meet my dad. You don't want to meet him. You don't want to. Thank you. The crying. I know. That like, oh God, those psychics really socked it to you back in the day. Love Sylvia Brown. And I did look up like, because I went down a rabbit hole of her legitimacy.
7:30Trixie Mattel:And is there any like legitimized clairvoyance? and the best that's been recorded is when someone, let's say, if they help the police find a dead body, they will be wrong three more times. Yeah, it's not. It's not a one-to-one ratio even. It's not real. But for me, it is. He drowned. Do you think I could do that for people? I mean, it's the conviction with which she gave those like permanent whatever. It's like so cunty. She was like, it was just like fraud. But I do believe in tapping into the intuitive self. Yeah, but she's literally just lying. You think she's like, yes, totally. She's just like talking out of her asshole.
8:07Trixie Mattel:I would be like the 2025 version of that and be like, where is my father? He was pew pewed. Oh my God. He unalived. He unalived and was pew pewed in Florida, in Florida. That's fucking hell. Sylvia was Sylvia Brown. Who else was, um, who's the other one? Oh, the long Island medium. Does she, she actually talks to dead folk. People do say she is amazing. In what way? Like, is she like, she has accurate. Um, really? I guess, what would you call it? She throws out lines and that they are received and verified by audience members. Oh, I think it's probably research though. Don't you think? How? Googling people in the audience?
8:43No, but I mean like they probably have to fill out a form and then they're Facebooked or whatever. You know what I mean?
8:49Trixie Mattel:I mean, I understand like, you know, I've been learning tarot and I do understand that in a lot of ways, those type of things are a mirror. And so they are true because you are, someone says you're going through a change. Yeah. You go, I am. and the first thing that comes to your mind is what you're really going through. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's not that it's fake, but it is more like you kind of already know. Yeah. I don't know. What I like about that tarot shit is if someone says, oh, there's a huge conflict that you just have to squash, your brain will tell you what that big conflict in your life is.
9:19Trixie Mattel:You already know. It's kind of universal. It's kind of universal, but you're the one attaching meaning to it. Like, wow, I guess my big conflict is this. Yeah, but that's different than saying like your dead dad said this about this. Yeah, he drowned. That's kind of crazy. That's kind of crazy. He drowned. Yeah. He was pew-pewed while drowning. Do they really say pew-pew? Oh, yeah. It's fierce. Oh, my God. It's fierce. It's fierce. I don't like that. I don't like that at all. They're singing on TikTok. Everywhere. Always. I asked Bob about it. I was like, do you know about pew-pewed? He was like, oh, yeah, pew-pewed.
9:50Trixie Mattel:No. That is really, that's really troubling. Yeah, it's tough. So San Diego, I hadn't been in so long. Okay. San Diego is so beautiful. What has the perfect weather? it's what you think la is in your mind yeah it's so pretty gorgeous it's so gorgeous the san york convention center was so big twitchcon was so fun all my different video games i like were there phasmaphobe phantasmophobia what am i saying phasmophobia was there capcom was there and i got to host the drag show which was really fun and then and because it's a live streaming convention the live streaming the quality of the camera lighting and sound was so on the ball best technical production of a live event I think I've ever been a part of it was like the streamies it was so clean TwitchCon the drag queens all had large private dressing rooms you're kidding good snacks, great air conditioning they got rehearsals to make sure all their music levels were right it was run so smoothly TwitchCon really ate and they told me that's their biggest live event the whole weekend, the drag show is so big so shout out to Jenny, the organizer of that and all the drag queens.
10:56Who were the drag queens?
10:57Trixie Mattel:A lot of drag queens in the show. Bitch Pudding was there. Oh, Fierce. In the show because she's a streamer. Okay. Jax from Drag Race was there. Okay. I have to tell you something crazy that happened. What? What, what, what? Get into this Red Bull because this is going to be the type of thing that lives on the internet forever. Jax. Oh, no. Jax was such an incredible performer. Wait, who is? Oh, I know Jax. I know Jax. Jax was so beautiful to look at. Yeah, yeah. And so good at performing. Jax, there's a reason why they put her last in the show. It was impossible to follow her. Okay. She was so good.
11:24Trixie Mattel:What does she do? She did Chaparone Hot To Go and she jump roped with her hair. Whoa. And I said, I'm watching as the host backstage and I'm hosting with this girl Pearl Tease, this beautiful trans girl burlesque streamer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we're watching the TV and I go, oh my God. I go, there's a girl on Drag Race who did that. And she goes, yeah, that's her. I go, oh good. Perfect. Isn't that so, Mary, it's so embarrassing. It's embarrassing. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid to say hi to drag queens because I'm afraid that I've met them I'm afraid they were on Drag Race yeah exactly they're little winners of Drag Race that way I don't care about looking an idiot as much as I care about hurting feelings yeah yeah yeah it's so awkward dear this incredible streamer that I love most gorgeous one of the most beautiful drag makeups I've ever seen in real life in my whole life dear D-E-E-R-E D-E-R-E her makeup is so cool and graphic we can if you guys are watching we put a screenshot of her she's been on my YouTube channel she's um but I just have to show you she eats it up she really eats it up for the girls Ediana oh yeah she's what are those lips what's going on with those lips she draws the gloss on oh it's like the shiny part that's fierce that's actually fierce it reads like wet that's fierce and on camera if you're a professional streamer you mostly drag from your own lighting you can really go for it but in person I was like you look more amazing person drag trashly is a big streamer who was there I mean it's it was a live streamable show Farrah was at Twitch wait how is she?

Like do you make money from that?
13:33Trixie Mattel:When I did I did it mostly for charity. Like what is it like? So if you're a streamer let's say you caught you wanted to start a Twitch channel. Let's say every night from 6 to 8 p.m. you do a live show where you DJ, play video game, you do a cooking class. Whatever you want to do for a live television basically. it's live television but it's from your house like youtube okay so some people make it about video gaming some people make it about crafting, yoga DJs but I love a lot of the gamers and I just I love twitch and I loved meeting all the streamers these people basically one man show produce television channels from their homes overlays I've seen your setup, it's wild it looks like a whole fucking studio it looks like an actual TV studio I think you would like it actually you get to control the lighting you don't have to get in drag from the waist down talk to your fans directly do whatever content you can do a sewing stream you know what I'm doing I'm gonna do I just talked to Mark the other day like I'm doing what do you call it ASMR I love I love I love it so much do you ever listen to ASMR no I don't like it you don't like why well there's so many different types the novelty of it wore off for me like 2019 really it just did it hit for like a month and I was like that's funny What I do like is the situations I do like like you're just waking up With your vampire boyfriend I do love the situations Your second cranial nerve exam or whatever Someone's at the mall doing your makeup I'm just gonna do your lips The situation is more interesting to me than the sound I don't get into big pickle like crunch Stuff like that Mouth sounds are not really my game What about pussy lips?

15:20Trixie Mattel:This episode is in partnership with Airbnb. When June finally shows up, we can all stop pretending we're indoor people and finally get some vitamin D. The days stretch out, the sun gets warm, and suddenly I am emotionally transported into being a person who wears a linen shirt and says things like, let's go get some fresh fruit at the farmer's market. This summer, I'm planning a little getaway in the St. Ynez Valley, which is where I found this gorgeous little home on Airbnb. be that feels like a little headquarters for a few days of warm weather intervention. I want to wake up slowly, make a little bit of tea in an actual kitchen, and wander through the rolling hillsides buying some chunky jewelry and maybe a cool piece of wall art with a bit of seasonal motif.
16:02Trixie Mattel:And after that, I'll be ready for a little trip to Solvang for Danish's, smorgasbords, and that kind of Danish village charm that makes one briefly consider buying wooden clogs. That is what the beginning of summer does to me. It makes travel feel less like an escape and more like a grand seasonal awakening. Suddenly, I need fresh air, open windows, and a home base that feels like a real place to set out from. That's why I love booking stays on Airbnb. I want a living room where everyone can sprawl out after a long day in the sun. I want a kitchen for late night snacks and lazy breakfast. And I want enough space to actually feel settled instead of just stacking my luggage in a hotel room.
16:38Trixie Mattel:And if I'm traveling with friends, even better. We can stay together, eat dinner together, and we can collectively pretend we're the kind of people who do not forget sunscreen. And of course, once June begins, one trip becomes three imaginary trips. Maybe it's the Santa Ynez Valley now, Yosemite National Park next, a long weekend in Santa Fe after that.

I worked for The Sims like all the time. You worked for The Sims last year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love The Sims. Their booth was so cool. If you guys are a long time, if anybody plays Sims, the robber that's in The Sims in black and white with the mask, like creeping in the game who steals from you.
20:42Trixie Mattel:They had an actor there dressed like him with the little green thing about his head creeping around the booth, just trying to steal from people. It was so funny. And he never talked. So he would come up and like, look at you and like your phone sitting there. He'd be like, Ooh, it was so funny. I cracked up. And also compared to drag, no offense to drag con mama. It was nice. Good air conditioning. Drag con is so boo boo. And it was low lighting. Oh fear. So everybody looked no overhead. fluorescence? No. It was like the soft glow of a nice, calm convention. And I want to... My thought went to, for people who love Twitch, they might love Twitch because it's entertainment for people who maybe don't want to go out socially.
21:24Trixie Mattel:Social anxiety, autism, sensory overload, dimmer lights like that. I'm like, some of these people could actually have fun at a convention instead of feeling overwhelmed. I know. That always struck me because at DragCon, it was so overwhelming. Right. Wow. Wow. So like stressful. You know what I mean? Everybody's like stressed out. And I'm like, I was always impressed at like the, the, I don't know. The wokeness. Or the resilience, the resilience of these people who are like a little bit awkward. You know what I mean? Oh yeah. I would like, I wouldn't have lasted like 10 minutes as a person like entering.
21:55It's just like, well,

21:58Trixie Mattel:and for people who are primarily content creators from home, I think it's fair to say that they maybe create that kind of content because they feel more comfortable than live performance in front of people in real life. And so I do think for a lot of streamers, not just the audience, but the streamer themselves might have chosen streaming because that environment can be overloading. So I just like that it was a chill vibe. I got to walk. Oh my God, Nick and I did Comic Con like last year. Wait, did you do it? You do it in drag? Yeah. But a lot of people don't do it. They do it out of their character, right?
22:32Isn't that right? I mean,
22:35Trixie Mattel:like Cassandra Peterson will probably not dress up as a flyer. That's what I mean. Yeah. But we were at New York and I was like we probably need security. It was like when I go in here. I tied my hair up. I was like a bomb's going to go off. I'm so fucking famous. Nobody. Nobody paid you the I'm talking me walking through hordes of people. No one batting an eye. You're kidding me. No one giving straight fuck. We have video photos of it. I love that so much. Oh my god. With a camera in lights. No one caring. Oh my god. So then this year Getting followed around by a camera and nobody cares. That's so fierce.
23:05Trixie Mattel:We almost got security this year. And our management was like, you know, Jinx has a great security team. Like I could give you their number. I said, do they have experience with celebrities? I think that's kind of fun. But wait, wait, wait. Did you see the clip, oh my God, of Jared Leto coming out to, at the premiere of, what was it? Tron to a theater that was maybe like filled a quarter of the way. That's tough. Why did no one want to see Tron? Um, I don't know. I think it's like flopped big time. It's a big time flop. But like Mary, if that, if that were me, I would like in my publicist, you know, was like, bring the car around.
23:45I'd be like, I think we're just going to skip it. Yeah. Yeah. I get a little gas. No, that is like,
23:52Trixie Mattel:Mary is so that's, that's, that's, but it's one or the other because sometimes in the environments, I find myself in a situation where, I mean, no T there have been security. incidents at these conventions and will continue to happen. Yeah. So sometimes it's like, you don't want to have, by security, sometimes what I mean is can someone grab my hand and briskly walk me where I'm going? Because I don't know where I'm going. Yes. Right. If I look lost, it's better to have someone just with a flashlight confidently saying, here's how to get to where you're going. I don't need someone to push people.
24:22Trixie Mattel:I need a navigator. Well, I had people, I had, I was carried at DragCon UK. Carried out? Yeah. like if I had to go like have a cigarette or go to the bathroom they pick me up and carry me and run it was great so it was like who's they? the security Lee Dawson he's there he can do it no the amazing security at DragCon UK they were so hot and so nice and so wonderful and I think was I injured? no no there was a rumor that I was injured because I wasn't walking I had fun at DragCon UK it was yeah it was great I think it was I just I don't I remember it was nice it was like Javits Center was hell Mary and LA Convention Center was hell I'm saying it whatever no no no no the Javits Center the Javits Center we need to talk about Javits we need to start to talk about Javits because this is I have full body chills right now because I this is a core memory at this point core memory core memory like I remember when my dad was shot in front of me and I remember Javits Center.
25:28Right. That kind of thing. Like, when we entered the convention center, and right before I was entering my booth, which we had it decorated by a decorator, they mentioned that there's no smoking anywhere on or near the premises. And to the average person, that's just a normal statement. To me, at that time, that was, like, on par with so we're going to take your entire family, immediate and extended, bring them out naked, whip them through the streets, and then behead them in front of you. Right. And then we're going to make you watch it on videotape for the rest of your life.
26:09Trixie Mattel:Mm-hmm. That would have been worse. Or that would have been better than no smoking. Right. I was like, I guess we'll leave. I swear to God, I was like, I was ready to just do a U-turn and go back to the hotel. And just go lay down. Do I do anything? Read Sports Illustrated. Right. Play darts. What did you do? I was professional and did my job. Was this kind of like when you went to Disney and you got hit with that reality when you weren't allowed to smoke? Remember that? Was it Disney? Yeah, Disney. But I was also humiliated. That is fine. If I get humiliated, then I'm like, okay, forget it. You should have just Bo-birded it.
26:45Trixie Mattel:Blow the smoke in the baby face.
26:50Right? Right. I mean, Bo-bird it. Bo-bird it.
26:54Trixie Mattel:Beetlejuice it. But see, that... Oh, my God. I just noticed that. Eliza Sue behind you? That's been there forever. I know. I guess. I didn't know. What do you mean always? How long has it been there? Really? I love that. Love that. I have that t-shirt. Oh. I haven't watched it this year. It's usually in my Halloween rotation. Do you have a... Get a purse on the head. This morning, I went through, I don't know, all of her Instagram reels going back months and months and months. My God. She's awesome. It is the Annie one. She's using the shoe as the microphone running through the parking lot for so long.
27:34I just shoved a nuke up my pussy. Oh, my God. It's like, oh, it's so fun. It's so good. I think I'm just going to make like a super cut and just watch that instead of TV. I think you should. Yeah. I think that's valid. Thank you. You know, honestly. Javits, Miss Javits. Oh, let's go back to Javits.
27:49Trixie Mattel:Well, I remember one year where you and I were promoting Trixie and Cutdown Viceland. Remember they put all this money into the advertising. there were big plaques of us around that was nice was Comic Con at the Javits Center? I had a blast doing the press for Trixie our show, that was fun Nick, was Javits Center Comic Con? see, I had a fine time at the Comic Con so maybe it's the drag, but also we're so famous at Drag Con yeah just getting to the bathroom at Drag Con is an issue it is so interesting isn't it done now? okay, so we can speak ill of the dead Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, listen, I'll never forget the first DragCon because we were right next to each other.
28:31We shared a booth. We were at the first DragCon. That's fucked. First DragCon. And it was crazy. And I remember running on fumes, never went to the bathroom. Nine-hour meet and greet. Nine-hour meet and greet. No bathroom, no food, no water. When I got back to the hotel, my body just collapsed. Like, I've never felt worse in my whole life. but because it was all like adrenaline and like fun and I was like because it was amazing yeah and then but no I mean it was literally all that wore off within like three minutes and then I was like oh fuck and I became a husk of a person it was so interesting and every time I did drag con
29:08Trixie Mattel:in New York I would say like the yotel so I'm staying in a room that's like an oven like a tiny oven it's tiny all New York hotels suck shit yeah that's not true you gotta get you a room at the mandarin whoa that's a five-star hotel yeah it is like 1200 a night or something yeah yeah what was it what was the year that you wore a 45 pound wig and almost had an aneurysm that was la was that the second one you know i don't mean to speak ill of drag con it just conventions in general are just hard when your job is meeting and greeting yeah honestly when we're younger this is the issue too we're blaming other people we should have personal boundaries but i'm going to go do two hours and go home that's what that's what i did the personal obligation that i put on myself to meet and greet for six hours a day.
29:51I would meet and greet from like
29:53Trixie Mattel:12 to 6. Why am I doing that? I think we ended up pre-selling them. I'm not trying to brag, by the way. We didn't sell them. I did. I just always did, you have to have buy merchandise. Okay. Maybe I did. We didn't sell them. No. Because some girls started doing VIP. You could pay more to be in the front. Oh, yeah. Some people didn't like. Oh, yeah. There was a lot of commotion about so-and-so is charging this. so and so and then people were like well I'm charging nothing and they would like promote that as if they were Mother Teresa you know what I mean it was very fascinating but I'm also like okay both people in your line are gonna love that that sounds horrible I don't mean it that way but like but I never charge I only charge for you had to buy something because they charge us to be there we're paying oh yeah by the way they square footage at DragCon are you out of your mind it's more than New York real estate Javits Center was like by the pound Crazy.
30:46Trixie Mattel:Charged by the pound of water. That's why. Oh my God. Every time I drew. Oh God. One of my sets. As if I had a set. I think somebody wrote a crayon, caught you and pinned it to a pole. But I remember when you're seeing Jinx. Just have a, she just had a ring light and a curtain. And I was almost like. Yeah. Yeah. They're here for you. Yeah. That's all they're here for. This is not set design con. What are we doing? Yeah. It's not set design con. I was like, this is a convention. Go sit at the card table for 20 minutes. I know. We all got whipped up into some kind of like, you were going to get a hospital bed.
31:17Trixie Mattel:I was going to shut out of a cannon. I don't know what the fuck we were doing. And no one made us do this. So what was that? We're complaining about drag con. I really couldn't use that hospital bed. But all the shit about it was our fault. I know, I know. The hospital bed would have been great. I would have been great. Or I would have been the dad from Strangers with Candy. Or Contagion. Contagion. Yeah. Oh, my God. Body doubles. Body doubles. Of course. Six of them. I mean, you could have had six Trixies. If I knew what I knew now, the new Trixie, the new improved Trixie. Run her into the ground.
31:48Trixie Mattel:Do you know people still don't seem to know that she was on Salt Lake City Housewives and I wasn't? Wait, what? I was busy and they went to my bar in Milwaukee, rest in peace. And I was like, well, I'm not around. Just get the other Trixie and just don't put a body mic on her. And they credit her as not Trixie, Trixie double. And people still are like, that night my own friends, friends from college were like, girl, come say hi. we saw you. I'm like, oh my God, that's hysterical. And the other women, instead of like, I thought it would be a fun gag where they'd be like, oh my God, it's not you.
32:19Trixie Mattel:They don't get it. None of them knew. They don't know their ass from their elbow. I don't think they knew. No. A white refrigerator. A white refrigerator.

34:07Trixie Mattel:Nicolas Cage didn't she came on your Grindr pod yeah is she nice she was she's a big fag right I was so scared she was a doll oh why were you scared cause she was like I don't know well A because I'm not super familiar with the housewives I know I wasn't like incredibly familiar with her career right and I thought there was a good chance that she'd be a cunt I don't know and also it was a little strange like hey you're not a man you're a woman who's been married to the same guy for like 30 years Harry Hamlin yeah very sexy and you know was in one of the first like gay roles that kind of got him kicked out of Hollywood 1982 yeah anyways it makes sense because she's a pancake she is I love Mary like her the whole thing the look she was all in black she just looked so chic and we had a blast she was so fucking funny she was talking about how she wants to get it she wants to have cut people's head off with chainsaws good for her good for her American Horror Story Chainsaw American Horror Story Lisa Rinna at Chainsaw honestly she should be on Horror Story that seems like no she wants to and I think she should yeah she would be a natural what are they bothering with Kim Kardashian when Lisa Rinna's around I don't know Kim Kardashian do you know what happened to me the other thing about Drag Home was you had to well I will say this if you won Drag Race at least they used to fly you if you're a winner you got flewed out flewed out well we lived in LA but also it just cost so much and it was a full weekend, not to mention weeks of preparation.
35:37Trixie Mattel:Mama. It's just too much work. I got paid to go to DragCon UK. I know. Me too. That was fierce. I know. That was really fierce. I don't know how they made any money, but you know, great. I never made much money at DragCon and not to sound whatever, but I had to look around and go, if Trixie can't make money at DragCon, what are we doing? I know. I know. No, seriously. It just was too, and I love to meet the fans. Yeah. And I liked to see the girls. The Kiki was getting to see all the girls. Well, that was the thing that always frustrated me is I never got to fucking see the girls. You'd be there all weekend and I get a text from Milk being like, I didn't even see you.
36:07Yeah. And also, you're so excited. Like, way too tired to go out at night. You know, like, especially after the first night because you're going to be fucked for the next day. That always pissed me off so much because you never got to see the girls unless you did the show, which was always fun. That was a blast. That was really fun to do. I had a blast doing that.
36:24Trixie Mattel:I would do another one. If it ever came back, I would do it. But I would do it, like I said, smart. Go for two hours. Do a panel and go home. Yeah. I think that's what I did the last one. It was like, I will be there from 12 to 2. I'm doing a panel and then that's it. And then another two hours maybe. We complained about it, but DragCon was never like, you must do an eight hour meet and greet. That's our own mental illness. I know, but I was always like, I don't want people to, it's not line con. I know. I don't like people having to wait in line so long. I know. It sucks. It sucks. I had an experience, I was flying Oh, I think I told you this.
37:00Trixie Mattel:Was I on the plane with you? No, you were flying the plane. I'm the invisible man now. I had to fly to Malta and I missed my flight to Rome. Car service never picked me up. So relatable. Car service, no call, no show. So relatable. No call, no show. So got in the car finally after the Uber came and I was like, we're not going to make it. That 30 minutes, we needed that to give the airport. So called Maddie. She was like, I've never used this car service before. I can't believe they no call. She rebooks me, thank God. and she's like, all right, you're going to have to fly through Turkey. And by the way, it was 7 ,000 extra dollars.
37:36Trixie Mattel:Work. But I'm not going to miss the gig. That's like... Seven grand. Seven grand to Istanbul. So, I thought of this because of the Yotel. I had to stay overnight at the Yotel Istanbul. What is a fucking Yotel? It's like a modular hotel. What is the Yotel? Tiny room. Where does the Yotel come from? Yotel. Like, Yotel. Yotel. You know. it's your hotel your hotel I don't know I made that up but I flew Turkish Airlines do you know what it's like to fly first class as a bald white man oh my god everybody clocks your tea the flight attendant was like everything's gonna change your life's about to change forever yeah they gave me like a bouquet of flowers oh my god you should have come back with the only piece on me getting off the plane it was like we welcome you to Munchkinland no why haven't they like outsourced that shit why is Turkey the destination to get the only it seems to be the only destination to get hair my other issue with turkish airlines is what whatever we shoot me in the eye bitch i flew first class okay whatever in the eye um as if people are going to expect for you to ride in the back of the cabin there's a middle row in first class on this turkish airline mama that's no that's no first class i'm in the middle middle row middle row american horror story middle row and i was so depression because i had to pay$7 ,000 extra.
38:59Trixie Mattel:To be in the middle row? No, just to get another flight because I'm not going to miss the gig. Now, why do they make you pay? Well, who knows? I don't know. They cast some runes, look at some bones and then that's the price. The thing is, the airlines, you got somewhere to go and they know it. They got you. They have your balls on a vice grip. Right. They got your pussy with a clamp. And I'm feeling emotional and so the woman next to me, not the person on the other side because there is two, is watching The Notebook and I did something I never do which is watch that whole movie off her screen with no headphones on.
39:30Trixie Mattel:Like the killer. So she's watching the movie with headphones on and I'm like this. I can't not watch a movie if I can see it. I don't know what it is. It's compulsion. If I'm on an aisle seat, next row on the right, say I'm on the left aisle, next row on the right, that person, I can't not watch the movie. I can't not watch it. And I'm riveted. And I'm locked in. It could be Herbie 2 fully loaded. It could be Shawshank Redemption. It could be like any movie. I don't even want to watch it, but I have to. Have you ever caught somebody watching yourself? Drag racer? Isn't Drag Race on there? Trixie Motel's on Air Canada.
40:06Trixie Mattel:I've seen people watching it. Get out of here. Do you like throw peanuts at them and be like, no, I'm like, no, no, no. But when we were in Canada, I did see some girl with one of our shirts on. And this is what I love to do. I love to go nice shirt and keep walking. You say nice shirt and then you take off all your clothes. Right. And she looks over and I'm standing there with that black goat from The Witch. and I have my dick cut off and I'm holding it in my hand and I'm just chewing. And then she looks at me and I look at her. They look over at me and I'm breastfeeding a crow.
40:42Girl, get into the witch. Get into the witch, baby. Get into the witch. Wait, have you seen any Fierce Fun movies?
40:49Trixie Mattel:Of course. Of course. Of course. Girl. No, but I do want to go see this movie. So this is the 50-year anniversary of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Oh, wow. You know, I love that movie. Of course. And they just showed it at Synespia. I didn't get to go see it. Oh. It's out of town. But Tim Curry was there to introduce the movie, so cool. Are you serious? Yeah. Oh, fuck. I saw the clip of Sigourney Weaver. They got a clip of her. I think they showed an alien. I think it was alien. Yeah, alien. By the way, I know we already talked about it.
41:24Alien. You gotta start watching it. Okay. Mama, you have to. You owe it to me and to your country. Right. Okay. Okay. I'll kill myself.
41:37Trixie Mattel:I will pew-pew myself to be alive. I really want to go see Rocky at like a midnight showing because it's a 50-year. I want to be like, woo. And I got to do that movie, A Strange Journey. There's this big documentary out about it. and I have to be in it and I haven't seen the documentary even though they sent me a screener and I was like, I'll watch it whenever. Yeah. The link expired. Oh, I hate those damn expiring links. So now I got to go buy a ticket and find a place to watch it. Damn. I got a link once. It expires. That is true. It'd be like that sometimes. Mary, let's tell them how the sausage is made.
42:15Sometimes at Netflix, I don't know if I'm supposed to say this, but we, because we're promoting Netflix originals or, or movies that are, you know, sometimes are like not out yet. Um, we are sometimes have to watch like unedited or like not the final cut. Yep. And it could be anywhere from like, it's not color graded yet to there's like nothing in it.
42:35Trixie Mattel:Sometimes it's just a blue screen. When we watched one piece, it was a blue screen with an, with an actor just walking around. Yeah. Sometimes it's just like, okay, it's like the color, you can tell the color's not there or like the ADR is not like totally done. Sometimes when I was doing Pit Stop, it would be like a twink intern. Like the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race receives 150, whatever they get. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what they get. Miss Peter Badge. They get like - A Ruth Peter Badge? They get fucking$4 million now. Yeah, I don't know what else. When you win Drag Race, you get a yacht.
43:04Trixie Mattel:And a LeBubu tattoo. RuPaul, you move in with RuPaul. You get a LeBubu tattoo. You live in her pool. Yes. You have to catch the pumpkin. She do reels with her. You have to catch the pumpkin. And then you have to throw it back next year. I hope she does it this year again. Oh, she's going to do it. RuPaul, if you're watching, she is. Of course she is. She's going to kick a LeBubu in the face. Mary, I don't want that. In the earth. On the earth. I felt the way about Beanie Babies. I felt the same way about LeBubus. Right. Although I did watch the South Park episode where they did the satanic ritual with the LeBubu, and I thought that was extremely funny.
43:37Trixie Mattel:Right. You said Bring Her Back, right? I don't have a... Yeah. Bring Her Back 8. The Knife Chewing 8. The Knife Chewing. This is crazy. That was a great movie. and that actress, I forget her name from Sally Hawkins. She's so incredible. Good. She's so damn good. I'm going to drown you in the pool now. That's RuPaul to the pumpkin. Yeah. Yeah. And also, anything where there's like, like the movie Hush where the young woman can't hear. Something where the character in peril is missing a sense. It's so heightened. You're like, you can't run from the killer because you can't see. Mama, that scene in the kitchen at the beginning of that movie with the guy right...
44:15Scary. Because I have so many, I'm alone in my house. Right. I have so many windows. My breasts exposed from every angle. My hair long, very seductive, very vulnerable, very likely to be killed. Very jealous. With all sorts of like nefarious characters running around with knives and whatnot. I mean, in our neighborhood? Yeah. Hello?
44:37Trixie Mattel:Yeah. At the corner of crack and meth? When we tell you guys that we live in Hollywood, we're not saying we live in... We're not Bel... Not Bel Air. your idea of we're not in fancy we're we're baby we're we're feeling good we're eating good in the neighborhood yeah okay hollywood is not it is not my dream uh because you live in yeah i live you've never been there let me just tell you it is truly skid row adjacent right because there was um apartment buildings go up in 13 hours uh like that's the level of craft craftsmanship you know You know what I mean? Yes. Like literally, it'll be an empty plot with dog shit and like needles.
45:15And then 14 hours later, there'll be a high rise. Right. Okay. Made out of cardboard, tissue paper, and glue. Sold for$10 million.
45:23Trixie Mattel:Near me, they have free shower Tuesdays. Okay. Which, you know, I know we all love a fucking shower. Yes, we do. What your situation is. Yes, we do. A shower is very revitalizing. And I told my friend about it and she goes, oh no, how long do you have to wait? And I was like, I'm not using that shower hoe. How long do you, what do you do in the shower? Well, I've traveled so much. They probably have free pool Fridays at my house. I don't even know about it. Thank you. That you do. Yeah. Brandon said to me the other day, he said, I'm just going to stop by your house and do a jump in the pool. I was like, well, the gardener's there.
45:54Trixie Mattel:So keep your clothes on. Naked? I don't know if he gets in naked, but what if you - You swim naked, don't you? Well - You have people peeping. Well, peepers, but also my Joel, who takes care of all the gardening. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm always afraid he's going to come. Okay. What if he stops by unannounced? Girl, yeah. When I moved into my house, the first day I jerked off and the gardener saw me. Sure. Like within hours. It was like, this is so bad and so shameful and so disgusting. Why were you like cheated out to the window jerking it? I had my diggling pressed up against the glass. That's how I whack it.
46:36Why don't you go to bed?
46:38Trixie Mattel:What a bed wig. It was 3 p.m. in the afternoon. I guess, but go lay in the bed and jerk it. Well, I just didn't have curtains set up. Also, where do you get shears? Shear curtains? Yeah. Online. Have them made. Stop being so... I don't know. You have a sewing machine. Make your own. Yeah, that's true, actually. You got to make sure put weights in the bottom, though, so they hang right. Shears are so light. They look all horrible if they don't have some weight. I got to tell you, though, I had the other room painted. and I made a bold color choice and it was a big risk and it paid off. I'm telling you.
47:08Let's celebrate that. No, I know. I'm telling you, I think I have a knack for interior design. Right. It's, I'm like, I know what'll look good for me. Right.
47:18Trixie Mattel:It's about time we figure out what you're good at. Shut the fuck up. No, I know we, I know like, I know just like if I'm making a decision just for me or if I'm making a decision that's a little more universal or if I'm trying to make something that's like logical, whatever, you know what I mean? So I have all these like, available choices and I just like, okay, well I have a red room. I got a blue room. I got a black and white, blah, blah. I went with yellow. I love yellow. Very golden yellow. Like a fucking bright ass yellow, not lemon. More like sun. Like a golden. Yes. That's golden rod. Yeah.
47:52I think it was called golden rod. And, um, it's autumn. I fucking love it so much. That's good. I fucking love it so much. And at the, I'm turning the beat around in this fucking shit ass condo so fiercely. What's the function of the room? It is what, well, it was the jerk off room, but because I Googled a lot of, um, because I call it the den now. It's just a den.
48:15Trixie Mattel:I, I had an office that was yellow and I found it to be very, like it's a great place to sit and work. Yellow is very energizing. It is super energizing. And you can see it from the downstairs. Oh, I had a runner put on the stairs and I almost came. Right. I've been dreaming about runners this is so fascinating the people on the 101 on the 5 listening to us I've been having dreams about putting the runners on these stairs for like years I've lived there for a year but they did it and they did it so fast and they did it so well and from the outside you can see the bright yellow of the room if the doors open and it's so bewitching and enchanting thank god thank god I can't wait to have you come over when it's done yeah well you're doing one room at a time which is probably how most people do it if they're living there while they do it.
49:02Trixie Mattel:Right. You know? Yeah. Oh, that's the other thing is like, I know first world problems big time. I, I, I can't, I can't deal with the noise. Like even if I'm the drilling noise or the hammer, I mean, it's so loud. It, it, it, yeah. Get some of those giant Apple headphones. I have them. I do the noise canceling. if I have to be in the house and it's still like I'm so sensitive to it. It's just really wild. Yeah, it's tough. It's a lot of noise. It's a lot of dust. It's a lot of people coming and going. Yeah, that I don't mind. Although my door is always unlocked. People coming and going is kind of draining too.
49:45Trixie Mattel:I mean, that's like a big part of it. But the two guys, the cast of characters is changing a lot, which I'm a little uncomfortable with, but now I've got these two guys. They are so sexy. I don't want to fuck them so bad. I was seriously considering doing a little magic thing where I go in the room and I come out a total fucking woman. Because when I tell you, I got this shipment of wigs that came, that is the exact wig J-Lo wears in her fucking crazy ass concert. The exact wig. That I come out looking like that, with that woman hair. Looking like Jennifer Lopez. Looking like Jennifer Lopez, talking Spanish somehow.
50:19And they will fuck me.
50:21Trixie Mattel:Right. They will bring me to that yellow room with splay my legs like a spread eagle and fuck. We had a, our head contractor for Trixie Motel season two was so gorgeous. The long haired guy. No, he had short hair, but he was so handsome. Yeah. That was the designer. I loved him. The contractor was so fine. Yeah. He was, he was so, I had my, my friend who was staying this weekend as a realtor and I was like, be honest, did I ruin my house? Is it too crazy? If I want to resell it, is it just too crazy? And he said, it's a lot of bold colors. He said, but it'll show really well. And people who see that a house is like, they see houses decorated very one way and they see potential for what they want to do to it.
51:01Like you didn't ruin your house.
51:03Trixie Mattel:They're like, and everyone wants a pink kitchen, but he's like, somebody could paint your kitchen white and just keep the pink tile and it would be pretty neutral. Yeah. I don't, I struggled with, um, painting the hallway. The hallway was totally jacked, like totally jacked. And we needed to paint it and patched up big time. Um, and I, I chose white. like a like a gloss semi-gloss white because i was like this is what a normal person would do and it looks fine do do bold art if i could do my house all over again i think i would have done a lot of white walls but a lot of bold furniture and art that's so i've got a big i've got a great idea for the art but now because the walls look so good i don't want to put anything in them do contact strips really yeah okay you gotta prep the wall first but do contact strips all right because I don't want to bang holes in the wall.
51:51This is so fascinating to people.
51:52Trixie Mattel:Yeah, but you can always patch them. Yeah. Don't live for the person who lives there after you. I have to tell you before we go, last night, this weekend, the B-52s. Oh, yeah. At the Hollywood Bowl? Played at the Hollywood Bowl. Did you live? I've never seen Debo. But last minute I said, I got to see the B-52s again. If I get an opportunity to see them, I levitate toward them. It's like, remember in Hereditary when her headless body floats? Yeah, up to the treehouse. That's me to the B-52s. Like, I'm just like, weapons ran out of my house to the fucking concert. Spit black. Yeah. So I get there.
52:26Trixie Mattel:I get there. I hate the Hollywood ball. I love it. I've seen Dolly there. Went to a little happy hour with my friends. Went there. Sat down. Didn't buy any merch. I never wear the merch I buy from concerts. I guess I'm doing it now, but I never wear the merch. So I just didn't get anything. And the night before was B-52's second Devo first. so I was like okay I know Devo kind of well maybe six songs by heart but I don't know what they're going to play you know B-52's I love I freak out and then that night they switched so B-52's first so I sat down I was like you know I'll have a nice drink have just two bottles of Sauvignon Blanc while I watch the show and just get completely yeah get blotto and the show starts and the B-52's come out and start freaking out of course they sing Cosmic first and then they start they sing all the music and I'm freaking out and I told my friends, I said, I know you guys think I'm like an upstanding guy.
53:20Trixie Mattel:When you see me at this concert, I want you to forget everything you know about me. I want you to know that I go feral for the 52s. I want you to know that you won't recognize the behaviors and I might say things to you that might not make any sense. And I might, you know, you're nuts. You're going to freak out. You ever see like that older, usually an older person at concert who's the first one dancing? Yes. That was me. Yeah. I was the first one. First one on the dance floor. Oh yeah. They're vibing to something that they're vibing on a parallel dimension. I'm turning to the people next to me who don't know the music and screaming the words.
53:50Trixie Mattel:You're all private Idaho. You better get into it. Yeah. This was it. Let me show you what it was. This was it.
54:03Trixie Mattel:No. I'm like losing it. I'm losing it. That is crazy. My friends are like. You fucking. And I was like, and this is only the second song. you better settle down I love that I mean that's the way I was at the damn Lumbita concert yep you couldn't tell me nothing yeah it was me and them no one else was there I was like I'm gonna sit down my butt never hit the floor same I was like I'll probably sit and I bought the garden seats at the Hollywood Bowl which is the front little partitioned little thing okay rich no it's like $290 a seat oh wow not bad I've only like sat in those concrete little cubicles which I don't like at all oh I know what you're talking about the little concrete so ahead of that is the garden the wooden things yeah It was so good.
54:43Trixie Mattel:And Devo. They slapped. I'd never seen Devo. They loved. It was amazing. Amazing. Wait, what? I don't know. I only know Whip It. She's just a girl. She's just a girl. The girl you want. Oh, yeah. What if? Oh, that must have been a fun-ass concert. These old men. Old men. Mark Mothersbaugh, who wrote music for pretty much every TV show ever. And Devo. I mean, teenage nerds who started making like sci-fi calculator music that accidentally was fucking cool punk pop new wave music. They're up there in their robot outfits playing. They're all black with the red hats and jumpsuits. The singing, they sounded exactly like old school Devo.
55:29Trixie Mattel:It was amazing. So they were watching old people play their music. The BF2 Jews have been together for 48 years. They're coming up to 50 years as a band playing them like shit i went and i'm looking around and there's something about older people hearing music when they were young where they just like time travel yeah it's like fucking 60 year olds dancing i mean damn kate pierce in 78 the redhead she's up there singing perfectly fierce and next to me i go oh my gosh uh carnie wilson wilson phillips are you serious i was like that's her she loved the b52 she was singing every word too carnie this somebody was sitting i probably was unbearable to be around but if you're going to a concert you can't be mad that people are singing no you can't be mad you cannot be a joy killer it's okay to be a joy killer yeah you can't and they're all i love the b i mean debo i would go see anytime if anybody ever has a chance to see debo go do it my god they almost were better than b52s i hate to say they were amazing but the b52s they're so good and they're so old that every time they perform i'm like i have to go it could be the last opportunity and so i've gone four times in three years.
56:39Trixie Mattel:It's like, here could be the farewell tour every single time. Every time I'm like, we gotta go. Mateo and I flew to Georgia to see them two nights in a row. That's so crazy. Well, at the show, they announced that they're, they said it was their last tour dates as a band. So we went to both nights. At the end, they announced their Vegas residency. Damn. Where they also announced their tour. That's a great gimmick. I love that. So when you and I go on tour, I think no matter what, we should call our show Trixie and Katja. Goodbye. Goodbye. Yeah. You know, this is it. Farewell. Yeah. Yeah. Bye, Roach.

From the publisher
Observational Cinematic Compulsion Disorder, or OCCD, is a common behavioral condition characterized by involuntary ocular fixation on a neighbor's in-flight audiovisual LCD display, even in the absence of accompanying auditory stimuli. Patients with OCCD exhibit vastly impaired concentration filtration, resulting in reflexive visual tracking of narrative cinematic sequences presented on adjacent personal screens during commercial air travel. The disorder is frequently associated with heightened situational distractibility, transient dissociative drift, and a paradoxical increase in attentional salience toward media not voluntarily selected by the patient. Management of OCCD involves admission to a 19th-century gothic asylum in upstate New York, with current clinical guidelines emphasizing electroconvulsive therapy administered on a daily basis, leading to a positive outcome of preemptive engagement with self-selected entertainment to mitigate cross-screen visual intrusion.
