Summary

Trixie and Katya discuss death rituals and burial practices, horror films including 'It' and 'Speak No Evil', streaming culture and content creation, and their recent Hawaii trip. The episode covers entertainment criticism, celebrity culture, and personal anecdotes about fame and relatability.

Insights
  • Funeral industry practices are increasingly questioned as wasteful and exploitative, with younger generations preferring practical alternatives like cremation or body donation
  • Horror content thrives when it challenges viewer expectations and tackles universal fears, particularly child mortality which Stephen King uses effectively
  • Content creators face a paradox: maintaining relatability while experiencing significant lifestyle changes requires honesty rather than concealment
  • Streaming culture has created a new tier of micro-fame where followers and online presence matter more to audiences than traditional celebrity metrics
  • Critical engagement with beloved media (loving something while critiquing it) is now the dominant consumption pattern across fandoms

A podcast for all of you creative weirdos out there. I'm Kate and some of you may know me as Mr. Kate. And I'm Joey, Mr. Kate's grounded in reality other half. You may have met us on the internet over the past decade. We have the largest interior design channel on YouTube, have decorated for thousands of people, have millions of followers, billions of views, our own furniture line.

And more importantly, with you, peeling back all the layers of how all of life is really a creative project. Parenting, relationships, all the things that inspire you in your daily lives. We'll laugh, we will cry, we'll learn, and my sister and I will gross Joey out with our Romantic Book Obsession. Listen to Ruckettle with Us every Tuesday on YouTube or wherever you get your podcast. We'll see you on the rug. Well, here we are. Why would anyone want to steal a dead naked body? I can I say something that is a great icebreaker. I'm not promoting grape robbing. I know this is right off the top of the episode, but I'm saying, can I tell you something in the system real country shit? I've been thinking a lot about death lately, right? Me too. Me too. I've been having waves of unwellness that make me constantly think about death. Okay, Jesus Christ. And I remember my stepdad's funeral, right? On top of the confusion of being young and having a paternal figure die. Yeah, right? Country people, we're dealing with a burial. And we're so country, not all of us have a full dress outfit. You got to shovel it yourself? No. The day of the funeral, my mom said, we need your dress shoes for your stepdad's body. And I remember standing at the coffin and thinking, why are we burying people in shoes? Meri? Waste of resources. And then it would go, why are we burying people? Why are we burying them in clothes? Why are we burying ferros in gold and jewels? I just think with the burying is a, it's sort of a, a blue light turning on it, Kmart or whatever. It's a little salesy. It's boo boo. We should just do it the most, do it the most, what do you call it? Smallest effect on the purple print, carbon footprint, small, purple print and most affordable to the people, right? I got true. If you really loved your father, you'd go for the mahogany. You know, like, that's crazy, right? It's upselling coffins, Meri. That is a diabolical. I have three solutions to this quandary. What is it? Number one, slingshot into space. I knew you were going to say shoot into space, but we talked about smallest carbon footprint. That's the biggest one. Okay. So number one is really donate to science, cadavers for medical students. That's what I plan on doing. They're going to get a lot of boners, but that's not my problem. They're going to leave with more questions and they got answers. How did she live this long? So there's all black liquid inside of no organs. What's that? Is it a diet coke camp? What is that? Are the lungs made of black? And then the last one is just cremation. Right. But then you had to rub cream all over someone. Creenation. I don't mean to be too morbid, but it really made me think very funny. Unless your mom loved those earrings, but even then keep them and then you have your mom's earrings. Yes. Don't put your shoes on your dad. Very naked. If any. Meri, how are you going to sell those loafers when you need to get a dime bag later on? Right. If I get buried, just put my naked body in the hole and the throat dirt on it. I know it's kind of unceremonious, but like, why are we wasting shit? No, I know. It's not horrible. It's very practical. I think that the cemetery industrial complex really needs a re-organ, a refresh and a re-come to Jesus, literally. Right. You know, I think about that a lot. I think about those mausoleums. Girl, what's inside there? A rave? Is it a secret entrance to like a factory party? Have you ever been to like Hollywood's Forever Cemetery? Of course. It's just these, I mean hallways, liminal spaces. So a huge, huge, nothing. Pissing contest, by the way. Why are you so special that you need to be rotting in a box, in a high rise? Yeah. We got a little misplack down here overgrown shrubs. Can't even see her name. And then we've got the fucking Taj Mahal with like John Jay Guggenheim or whatever the hell. Jingleheimer Schmidt. Thank you. It's like, okay, so what? Right. Does that make my grief as a, the daughter of this man? Does that soften my grief or so does it, maybe it gives me a place to go and do what? Cry, have sex, vandalize? Stupid. In my experience, visiting someone's grave makes me feel worse. You can visit their memory anytime in your mind, palace. Right. Mind palace. No, but I'm not that. That's creem nation. Cream nation. Cream nation. What creem nation? Yeah. We are the son of the creem nation. What the fuck is that? The thing is bringing dogs to work isn't always the best thing. No, that's why I keep my child at home. Right. My dog is my child. My child is in my hot car. I don't have a dog, but if I did, I think I would be somebody who just have it all the time. I know it's irritating, but whatever I can get. Well, I feel like I'll be good into the, I would, I would rescue and I would be so uppity about it. No, no, no. Sober people get sober and then it's all they talk about. I would rescue and the way every conversation would get like shoehorned into rescuing. And your dog would be a two legged dog, rescued from Vietnam or North or some like, two legged, Guantanamo, one legged, one legged, one legged, no eyes. It would be like the, yeah. But it would be happy. So happy to have you as a doting parent. Yeah. Be aware like a cross body. No, say I have a gun to your head and you, like we're going to a breeder bitch. No questions asked. What breed are you choosing? Oh, I mean, at the risk of sounding crazy. I think you got to go really big or really small. We were just in, where were we? Hawaii. Hawaii. Yeah. And we saw those giant dogs. That was pretty cool. What kind of dog? That was a horse. Those were horses. Mastiff. It's Marmaduke. Great Danes or Mastiff's. Marmaduke. Marmaduke is that cartoon. That was a Clydesdale. Yeah. And I, my first thought was, Oh my God, to, to turn on the TV and lay on the floor with this dog, hang out with the dog on the floor. Suffocated today. I don't think I'd ever invite dogs on furniture, but I would love to hang on the floor with the dog, rub the belly. You're such a good boy. Of course. And it's also like, if you're a petite, big titted woman with a wet t-shirt and walking your dog safety, or we get the tiniest dog, I would get one of those truly like cotton balls with a little face. Okay. That's hanging out of your little booboo purse. 100% run the body all day. I saw a guy at the airport 30. He got off the plane from Hawaii. I need a backpack with the dog's head just sticking out the top. I do love that. And I thought he's the dog's probably happy. Yeah. I love it when the women have it at the checkout line in the grocery store and they're clearly drunk. Sure. Oh, get into this. A friend of mine, we're in Palm Springs. A friend of mine was like, let's stop at the grocery store and get wine. We're after you chasing crackers. They don't think we're drunks. Have you heard of that? That's getting a charcuterie just as a cover. That's two people don't care. Come on. Some people just like baby it's noon. I know how many packs of crackers you can buy baby it's noon. Also, Palm Springs, the old gays noon is five. They've been up since six and a clock somewhere. But I will, oh, Mary, talk about death. Let's talk about it. I watched a movie so disturbing. So, you know, a while ago they did a remake, a Speak No Evil it's called with James McAvoy. It was a horror movie about, I love James McAvoy. Oh, and he's jacked in this. He's jacked in split too. Yeah. Big stroke. Big stroke material. Anyways, it's a remake of Dean. Would I do him? Right. Cream nation. Right. He is quite gorgeous and my God, what an actor. Exactly. I watched split and glass last week. Mama, he would split me into my glass coffee table. Having these entire conversations with himself as different characters. I don't, I listened to this pod and I'm like, who's, I can't even do my own voice. I'm like, what are you doing? I know I get accused for ads at like Vincent Price. I'm like, I can't do that. Or like, I'm like, I'll just do the weird one. And also not just the voice, but believing the character and switching back and forth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's wild. Wild. I'm going to drag 17 years and I can barely do a character that I invented. Thank you. I've been doing drag 25 years and I can't walk in a heel. Right. That's true. But so this, so this Speak No Evil, Speak No Evil, I remember the commercials. Mary, we saw the trailers in theaters. We saw these eight minute trailers that showed the entire fucking movie. I swear to God, but it's a remake of a Danish film of the same name. And let me tell you something about that movie. Spoiler alert, dear listeners on the 405 and the 110. This is so, it's so. I did see this movie. It's so fucking sad. It's very like Swede, right? Mama. She's trying to escape in the end of the car. Right? It was so, I was like, I heard, I was like, oh, this is the Danish version is so much like crazier. And I'm like, oh, let's check. I was like, let's check it out. And I was like, last year I watched three Christmas movies, that the color purple and fried green tomatoes. Classic holiday films. I mean, if you're trying to avoid Tim Allen, what else do you have? Do you know what I mean? The Tim Allen Christmas industrial complex is deep and vicious, but it was crazy. It was like, it was so girl, they just get pelting. James Knackamoy is mentally ill. He used to be. No, no, no, no, no, no, this is the Danish one. The Danish one. It's fucked. It's fucked up. It's fucked. Did you watch that one? It's in Danish. I think I watched the James Knackamoy one. Yes. Oh, no. That's the one I watched. No, that's the remake. This is the original. What is it called again? Speak No Weevil. Okay, yes. I remember looking up the movie and being like, this is so fucked. I went on Wikipedia and that's how I found out it's a remake of a Danish, but I didn't see the original. Are you talking about the original? I'm talking about the original. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. So like, you know how the little boy goes, and he shows that his tongue has been cut off? Well, fast forward. It's all about this couple that can't say no. They're too nice. They're too, it's all about like this, this sadistic fucking evil couple taking advantage of these polite families who just can't like, they're like, oh, I do remember this now. Yes. Yes. Yes. But this, this escalates and towards the end, they go back. They're flirting. They go back because the little girl needs her bunny. Oh, I remember. I'm like, mama girl. The way that that's like running in the house. The child runs into the house for their animal or something. They're a little boo boo. Let them burn. I was like, in this whole plot, the whole thing got rolling by the dad looking for a bunny, and then they met this couple, whatever. So the bunny is like, I'm just like, fuck this fucking bunny. You're about to get pelted with rocks naked until you're dead, bitch. Right. Fuck the bunny. Fuck the bunny. Oh, so sad and frustrating and horrible. Well, it's hard for me to turn on the TV for anything, for any reason, but welcome to dairy, but I am watching welcome to dairy new episode last night. I didn't see it, but I saw that chomp, chomp, chomp, come to mama. The first episode was bracing because spoilers, spoilers, they really introduced a bunch of characters, kids, and they make you feel like, oh, this is, you know, I love Stephen King. And they were like, okay, this is our Losers Club of 1962. This is the kids we're going to follow. We're getting introduced to their dad, their family dynamics, all that. Most of them die in the end of the first episode, and you're left being like, oh shit, this is, don't forget, this is a story about a child killer who is still on the prowl decades later. So we know that this is going to be kind of a ran through bloodshed. Ran through bloodshed. Incident. Yeah. And the velocity and the bravery to kill children is something only Stephen King really does. The beginning, Salem's lot starts with two kids dying. Two kids dying. I love that. I love that. Pets cemetery. Cigarage. Cigarage dying. My God. I think it's because he knows like there's kind of nothing more universally abhorrent than children getting killed. Baby, have you seen the butterfly effect with Miss Ashton Kutcher? Yes, long time ago. I read the Wikipedia. Dogs burning alive. People getting arms chopped off. Babies and moms, firecrackers exploding in their heads and dying. I read the, I thought this was a lighthearted, like romcom kind of like Gwyneth Paltrow sliding doors. Like what if, oh, it's morbidly, graphically sad and crazy. It's sad. And then at the end, I believe he walks by this woman and doesn't introduce himself because bad things will happen. Yeah. Sad. Horrible. I was like, I read the plot and I was like, huh? I want to watch it. Oh yeah. But I did see the clip of the, I can't see the dog getting caught on fire because you know, your dog is a child. But I did see the child and the mom open the mailbox and yeah, that's tough. It's crazy. I wonder with welcome to dairy because you know, like people love Pennywise and all the movies have featured Pennywise as to kind of like Pennywise's base self is a clown. Yeah. But in the book, which I've read two and a half times now, there's the, the, the entity of it is like, it changes according to the known to be from space. Oh, known to be like, it has no real form because it's changes forms all the time. Right. And so I wonder if people watching it, I'm at four episodes in, I wonder if people watching it are like, where's my goddamn clown? I think they are. That's what they're saying. Yeah. But they're also, I think they're welcoming this new, I mean, really grisly, cool format. Because in the book and in the movie, most of the time Pennywise is matching your freak of whatever the scarier to stuff. He's a streetwalker, right? He's showing them titties. Oh, no, he's not showing the titties. The first episode was really sick when the girl eating the liver put her fingers up to the kids face. That was disgusting. What about the pickles? The pickles were crazy and sick. The scariest part of it for me was the part where they go to the movie theater in the first episode and they're trying to see what happened to Maddie and they're watching the music man and then he's in it. Your dead friend being in the movie and then looking right at you. It's an immediate no. You really leave the theater. Yeah, they're all kind of talk to the box office. You get your money back. You get your great actors though, which I child actors can make or break it and they're all turning it Mary. I'm telling you, I'm as the entertainment czar of the United States and the world, I'm going to lift my embargo on child actors just for this series and a few others. This main actress, I forget her. Lily, every time she cries, I cry. What a great crier. Yeah, look at this. Oli Pop, Ginger Ale. I know I forgot to mention, but while I just, I have been enjoying some really refreshing gulps of this incredible drink. What is this again? Crisp apple. It's good for a digestive health. But with it, I wanted to ask you with Pennywise, do you prefer Bill Skarsgard versus, or in a cage match, Bill Skarsgard versus Tim Curry? Oh God, I don't know. Because I love how vaguely and fun Tim Curry is. And I think he's also scary. He's like a Freddy Kruger. I think that the Skarsgard take is playing him more like a child. Like he's trying, even the face of Pennywise, they make him look like he has like full cheeks, like a kid. He's like the girl or baby. He talks like a kid. Yeah. His mouth is like a kid's mouth. I just don't like all the, I don't like the wardrobe. And I feel like, I feel like Tim Curry played it more like a pedophile, a kid killer. He played it like a dirty old man. Yeah. But also he was like, Hey fat boy. You know, something they like talk about more in this series, which I do like is it's in 62. So obviously like race is a big part of it. It reminds me of Watchman. Yeah. Because the guy who plays Will Hamlin is the guy who plays young hooded justice in Watchman. Same guy. Same guy. HBO. Not it's not cable. It's HBO. And this is not an HBO. The director is I thought it was on Apple plus. What's the director's name? Something. Ron Perlman. No. Him and she billboarder Andy Muschietti. Is that right? She knows her directors. Andy Muschietti who did the movies. Oh, no way. Sister. Oh, it's a producer. It's a family. I saw two last names that I just assumed husband wife and I looked it up and they're from Dairy. No, they're from Argentina. Oh, Argentina. Argentina is a what did I say? Argentina, which is fun. Argentina. That's fun. Argentina is a hotbed of nasty, unrelenting horror films. Remember that one we watched in my house when he was lurking? Love that shit. God, that was fucking horrible. You moved a rotten. Love that. I thought that was so depressing. It was awesome when the little girl gets killed by the dog. And then also the car. Yeah. I love that. But I guess what I like about the series so far is like one of the other big things about it is the influence it has over the city as a whole. How the adults don't really notice or care how much the kids die. Don't believe the kids. And then as soon as one of those cycles is over, Dairy just like kind of forgets about it, which is obviously like trauma. People bury their shit. But I love it. I don't know how many episodes there are. We're four episodes in. I'm excited. But I love Stephen King and sometimes people watch stuff mad. Yeah, people love Drag Race. Fucking hate it. Do you know what I mean? I do. I don't. Of course, I know exactly what you mean because I wish you were at this viewing party I was at because for what? Drag Race. It was a while ago. A bunch of gay people. Why were you doing it? A viewing party? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry. It wasn't a formal viewing party. It was just a bunch of gay people watching. Oh, I thought you like wanted to feel famous and you went out to West Hollywood and set and you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This was like 12 gay men watching Drag Race. It was the episode where Lola rewore the gift bags. Mary, the vitri... Not even vitriol doesn't even come close. The the invectives we were hurling at the screen, the slurs, the slanders. It was like, it was like we were wanting to kill all gay and drag. It was so crazy. I think the first brick of that falling was Amazon Prime because every faggot was watching Drag Race being like, I could get a wig by month by month. By Tuesday, I could let all these hoes have it. But the truth is owning a wig, owning a car doesn't mean you can drive. Case in point. You know what I mean? I wish, I wish, I wish I'll be an ear shot when I heard some faggot say like I could do that because my head would turn. Like the exorcist. What do you even turn your body? It would be very penny wise. Balloons would float out. You know what I mean? They would start to smell popcorn. I just, I mean, people who love things hate them. People, and I love the Sims. People who love the Sims hate the Sims. People love Drag Race. Do nothing but hate on Drag Race. And people who love Stephen King will watch every iteration of it, but have problems with all of it. Yeah. I mean, I think there's a, there's a, somebody called me a hater the other day online and I took, I was like, I cried. I'm just kidding. Just kidding. But I was like, I was like, oh shoot. I don't want to be a hater. I wouldn't, I like being a critic. I like being critically evaluative about stuff. I'd like, you know, discussing things and like thinking about them and talking about them, but I've been watching All Spare. And now this is a show that defies description, critique and evaluation. Because it's, why are you watching this? Because it's, have you ever seen a train track, like a, an old timey train accident with all the cars get piled up and the huge plumes of smoke and people dying everywhere and that's kind of what this is in a way. It's like a version of television that it's so bad, but in such, it's such a particular way. Like it's, I don't know how to describe it really well. First of all, Nisi Nash, who's carrying the show on her shoulders, her name is Emerald Green. And I think that is so great. Naomi Watts is trying to find some kind of character. She's wearing capes. That's as far as she's getting. Is this Ryan Murphy thing? Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Okay. Sarah Paulson is every word out of her mouth is a, is an over the top, filthy insult that was written by like the nastiest 16 year old gay guy. Like, Hey, jizz face. I see you took time out of felching your grandma to come to the office today. You big fat fucking shitwad. I mean, literally like that. And then Kim Kardashian is there with thong out at the office at the firm, swing a big and starring in this vehicle. She looks exquisite like her hair and makeup or her makeup. Some of the hair is weird. It's so beautiful. And then you hear the words and the delivery and the dialogue and you're like, wow, this is giving Gal Gadot a run for her money in a way, but it's so glossy and it's so splashy and it's so colorful. I don't know. It's a very interesting cultural moment. It got a zero on rotten tomatoes and yet it's one of Hulu's biggest hits. That's what I mean. Somebody yesterday was like, are you going to watch it? I said, why would I watch it? It looks bad. And they said, cause all the gays are watching it. I said, that's not enough to convince me. No, I don't like that. That's not enough to convince me. No, no, no. All the gays were wearing chokers for a while. I didn't do that. All the gays have cockerels in orange. Everyone's in a cock cage. Everyone's, everyone's cucked. Wait, I never asked you. I never asked you about how your October went. Oh, you know, it is good, but the problem is they don't tell you, you got to trim your pubes because the roughage starts to grow in around the metal and then it's kind of like a trellis on the side of a house. Yeah. A vertical garden. Right. Yeah. And then every time I had a boner, I lost a full row of pubes. I know they show hard to grow back. Yeah. That's why you get the game Kardashian, Merkin, Panny. You know what? I don't want to yuck anyone's yum. Lock your dick up. Do it. Lock your dick. Mom, lock your asshole up. By the time may arrive, something in me finally starts to thaw. The light changes, the air softens, and suddenly I feel an almost urgent need to go somewhere scenic. This spring, I'm planning a trip to Portland, Maine, where I found a home on Airbnb that feels like the perfect home base for a few days of coastal renewal. I want to wander through the quaint old port neighborhood like I'm in a Nancy Meyers movie. I'll be taking in the historic brick buildings and sea air and spending an afternoon on a lobster boat trip like I'm a salt drenched fisherman coming out of winter hibernation. I want amazing coffee, a buttery pastry, a little browsing in local shops, and the kind of region defining dinner that only Portland, Maine can offer. Spring travel has that effect. It feels like a reset, a gentle rebirth after the heaviness of winter. And when I travel, I want a place that actually lets me settle in and enjoy it. That is why I love booking on Airbnb. I want a real living room to come back to, a kitchen for snacks in the occasional light breakfast, and enough space to fully unwind after a day of walking and exploring in the sea air. If I'm traveling with friends, it's even better because we can all stay together and share the experience instead of being split up in separate hotel rooms. And of course, once I start planning one spring trip, I immediately start thinking about the next. Whether it's one quick May escape or the start of a whole season of travel, trips just feel more personal when you book through Airbnb. This episode is brought to you by Expedia and Visit Scotland.

Baby, I went to that. Fina and I went to that motherfucking pink hotel. And that breakfast, I wanted it. I was like, do I eat it? Where I shove it up my ass. That breakfast is the Royal Hawaiian. That breakfast was, I went two days in a row. Barbara, shout out to Barbara that way, she was gone. Tisha, I got the bread pudding French toast each time because I couldn't say no. First day, I got some kind of the pancake special. I got a burrito thing. And the next time I got the pink pancakes, those were probably the best pancakes I've ever had. This was the best bread pudding French toast at a pink palace I have ever enjoyed in my life. It was so delicious. And I jumped in the ocean. The water was so warm. Ocean water that's so warm. Even in like Santa Monica in the summer, the water's not that hot. That's Hawaii water was hot. Well, it wasn't hot. Thailand is like hot. This was warm. It was amazing. It had to be pushing 90. No. Yes. Seriously. Yeah. Maybe 87. Because I keep my pool at about 90 when I'm warming it, which I know some people think is hot, but I don't like that moment of getting in. And well, that's, I had a little, when I went in, I was like, aw. But then I quickly acclimated. Mary, that sand was crab free, rock free. That water was turquoise. Oh yeah. It was clean. It was so shallow all the way out. I think I went a half, I think I went two and a half miles out, still up to the knees. Yeah. I had a really good time. I got in that water. I just was like, I got to get in it just for a second. So I did. All the sand in my asshole, you wouldn't believe so much. I mean, you could probably like make an adobe hut with all that sand. I got back to my room and I took my swimsuit off. The amount of sand that hit the floor had me wondering where it was. Where was it? Mama, it was in your uterus. I had to go get the two room key cards and create a shovel and like, like, like a sand castle that came from my fucking perineum. Mary, I know I had to change rooms because I clogged the shower. With the sand? Yeah. No, I'm just kidding. But I mean, I could have, I should have probably. No, once I was in the shower, the amount of sand that came off me, it just kept coming. It just kept coming. I was like, I don't feel this is like. There's much sand on me. And the shower is like, really? Is that what you think? It was like coming from the shower. Seriously. It was that much. It's not like it could get hot in my hair. You know, well, I put my hair up in a thing anyways. Saw a video of myself in the ocean. Doing that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Beyond the self body shaming, which I won't subject any of you to. The patch of hair on my lower back has gotten so dark and egregious and thick and present, omnipresent. Omnipresent. Confrontational. If I was walking away from you, you could grab it and pull me back. No, no. I swear to, it's like a cheerleader's pom-pom on my, all five. Mary, you just go up to 8,000 sunset, go to Miss European Wax and ask for Mary. She'll get you good right away. I'm like, I barely have eyebrows, but I have a woolen basket and the lower back. But I have a full fall. A scrub daddy? I have a three quarter wig on my long bar spine. I don't know, how many people have been back there and said nothing? Shout out to all those nice people. Well, you know what, listen, people love, people love hair. People love not hair. Do you know what it gives? Have you ever seen like, that haircut was all bald except a pony? Like one island of a pony, here. That's what I'm giving. It also gives malignant. You know what I mean? Maybe it's like, what was that guy's name? Jeffrey. No, her fake brother. Oh yeah, Juniper, I forget. I don't remember. Damien. No. Malachi. Something. It's something like that. What do you think of all those religious names? Oh, I love religious names. Malachi? If I would name my dog, if I had a dog, I would name it Christian. John Mark and Luke? No, Christian. John Mark, Luke, Christian. Yeah. I mean, I have a really, no, I don't want a religious name. Brian. Irish. I mean, I like regular names. I'm not really into the McKalys and the McNabys and the McBailys and all that stuff. That's a very like Midwest, Southern, gymnastics type of thing. Oh, dance team. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like, I like. Come here, racket. They all got crazy names. Yeah, yeah. Mick Rackett. Satchel. Yeah. Whatever. McSatchel. McSatchel. It's always like a something like a. Rise. Rise, McMadison, Satchel or whatever. Rise, Phoenix, McSatchel. So I went to the ocean. I wanted to touch the ocean with them a little foot. Right. And I had my men's clothing on. And I just want to touch the ocean. And I have my shoes on and I brought my sneaker. And I was like, I'm just going to touch this ocean. And then before the wave comes back, I'm going to skittle. Right. I'm going to skittle out of here. Don't, don't. I want to touch it. Don't, don't. Right. So I go to touch it with my like, like I go to touch it and the water comes quick and the water overcomes my sneaker. How spicy are we? On clouds are 80% wet. Great. Like, like up to almost the ankle. I go, okay, great. And I'm like dealing with it. Right. I'm kind of like going, no, no, like screaming up at the universe, you know, if anybody can hear me. Jennifer Lephuit in them at the end of the movie. No, my butt. And also thinking, yeah, duh. Waves. Yeah. Do you think it was going to stop magically and wait for you to touch it? No. And then this old lady to my right goes, ha ha. Fucking cunt. I thought ha ha was so crazy. Ha ha is a little, I don't know you. Ha ha is a little, um, ha ha. It's antagonistic. Atagonistic and also a little, um, familiar. She might have said, I know you are, but what am I? It was like she was trying to one up me. And I go, ha ha. I would have been more comfortable with a faggot. Seriously. What do you think was going to happen? Ha ha. And then this family, this family is watching, family with children is watching probably to see how I'm going to respond. Right. So now I feel all kind of like, I gotta say something. You take your young doc. And I go, ha ha. And I turned around and I go, ha ha. Ha ha. That swimsuit. Ha ha. That hair that looks like straw, bitch. Ha ha. That frass. Front ass. And the dad of the family was watching me say that and then was like, oh, and then looked at her and she didn't respond. So then it was kind of over. So they got kind of one. You did, you did win. But I wish you would have evolved into a world star hip hop kind of moment. You could have gone viral. What would you have done if you opened Twitter and it was like, Jacked it. Struggling drag race star. Jacked it. Gets in a full fist fight with a woman on a beach. Yeah. 73 year old woman, one piece bathing suit from Des Moines. I would have jacked it all night long. Right. That would be so great. What would you do? I would have jacked it. Right. Jerked it. And then I would have printed it out and then gone to the library and looked at it as microfiche. I wish we were famous enough to have Paparazzi after us because I would love for us to have some Cinderella or something. But I don't think they do that anymore. They don't. I think only I think, I don't think that level of, well, I mean, I know it like the hairstyles and stuff like K-pop people, you know, like the girls, the, the, the, the. I'm still on a level of fame, but if I see paparazzi, my night, I feel, I feel elated. What? Why? I'm like, they wasted pictures on me. Like I'm like, oh my God. Well, I'm always like, oh, they thought I was Guy Branden or something. They thought I was. They thought I was Marilyn Kahn. Billy Corgan. Billy Corgan. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I was, I heard a comedian say the level of, the most common level of fame nowadays is that they either don't know you, they either don't know who you are or they know what you've had for lunch. Does that make sense? Yeah. Like it's like. Oh yeah. The one I was, I was at a word show and I was leaving and they were just taking pictures of anyone who was leaving because I think no, no photographer is going to know who everyone is. No. And that's what happened to me. How many caterers are accidentally like? Taco truck. What do you mean? Talk at the hospital. He's like, can I look at your Instagram? Once he saw that the, the, the, I had more like a lot of followers who's like, oh, and then pictures, photo shoots, photo shoots. And he's like, I'm going to post these. I was like, okay. Were you a drag? No, I wasn't in drag at all, but I had taken a photo down the street, like a block with two girls. And I guess he maybe saw it and figure, I don't know what it, and he made a huge deal of it once he saw the, and that's happened before once I got robbed by those Pakistani gangs in London. They, once they saw my Instagram, we became fast friends. And this is not a, I'm not pulling the yarn. This is like, I almost got like, rolled by this gang of young kids, but we, I didn't, I've told you about this like three times. I swear to God. And they, they stole money from me, but they didn't, they took $2 instead of the $100 bill that was in my bag. Right. Yeah. So, but once they saw the Instagram followers, they're like, oh my God, this is Cate Blanchett. This is Tom Cruise. They're benevolent thieves. No, we're a team now. Right. Like they want to be on my entourage. It was so wild. It was crazy. That's really weird. But it's, but it makes sense though for kids because what is a more, what is the more like realistic opportunity in the future? Paying for college or going viral on TikTok? Going viral on TikTok. Yeah. I read, okay, the other day I Googled. What about fucking Brittany Broski? What about her? She has like a billion followers online and makes tons of money and is super famous? Yeah, but she's famous for something. She's famous for being funny? Yes, but she was discovered through a meme. But I'm saying, I would argue that what she's put on the internet is funny? Yeah. And she's funny? And she's using the internet to showcase? Yes, yes, yes, versus? The genre of content? That is just? Just poop? Someone living? That's hugely popular? She's just like some hot girl? All right, just living. Just living or eating. I mean, I was doing my low ASMR research baby and it's all about eating crabs. Large king crabs. There's audience for a lot of things. Nick and I were just, we got asked to go to YouTube, this Nick, and we got to participate in something called creators MBA in a day, where you got to do all these like in-depth courses about being a YouTube creator. We were invited. No one knew why we were there. You're like, you don't eat crabs? No, the thing is it was people I would say, I don't want to say who, but individuals like Brittany, that size team where it's probably the person in their social media editor, whatever. And then there was giant companies that have a hundred plus employees that are technically YouTube channels. These are content houses. Oh, like the ones that I used to live by on the hills with all those drones. No, not TikTok houses. I'm going to say Jubilee. Okay, or like a barstool sports. Oh yeah, or like Mythical Kitchen. These giant YouTube channels that do like last meals or whatever. First we feast. Yes. So they were there giving interesting presentations about like, oh my God, it's a YouTube channel that has eight CEOs and like, wow. Jesus. Like for us to be a tiny YouTube channel and bald and beautiful here, I was like so crazy to hear people, they run a YouTube channel like they run a cable network. Right. A hundred employees. It's like the morning show with Jennifer Aniston. One of the people were like, oh, we have a team of 2,500 freelancers. We have a team of 2,500 pieces of paper in the office. Yeah. Maybe not even 500. So we listened to these presentations all day, including one about honestly, it was 90 minutes and I could not tell you what was said. Was it corporate errands? It was so over my head. It was incorporated errand because it wasn't word salad. It was intentional smart shit that was. Was it like less I knew the more my acting got worse. So like they were like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, like pretending to type and nodding, even though I was Googling exact words, you'd say I pick one word and Google it. And you had no computer. No, I had my iPad. And I was trying to open the box. I had a box and I was trying to keep up. And 10 minutes in, I was like, this isn't for me. This is for big brain individuals. Was it just like advanced marketing and business? Like bio mechanics? No, I don't know. It was something. Nick, do you remember what it is? AIP. Yeah, API. API. Like coding and stuff like that. Oh yeah, coding, of course. Girl, I was like HTML, love her. I was like, and there was an exercise where they had to have your whole YouTube channel and you had to draw a web of the way your company's laid out. And so they showed us a flow chart of like a company with a hundred employees or whatever. So Nick and I have one piece of paper and we write his name and my name. We're like, this is it. We got boobs. We got, they're called boobs head. And then guess who has to give a presentation at the end of the day? Who? Me? What? We get up there. We get up there and it's all these big time, big time people who run major, major, major YouTube channels who are like, oh, I came from, I came from cable and I actually started this cable network and then ended up over here at this giant YouTube channel. My name is Warren Buffett. You might've heard of me. Wow. So then I'm up there and I'm like, how y'all doing? Great. So one time I did a video about the Amish. Like I just was like, we're going to bake some easy big oven stuff. We talked about some depth, creating depth of fandom, which is like, I don't know what we always call like the Trixie Cinematic Universe of like, there's music and DJing and stuff in my house. And like, if people are fans, they might only be fans from seeing like you and I in TikTok or they might be like hardcore fans who like can visualize my mom in videos. They love the easy big. Yeah. And so we tried to talk about that. And I think we were successful, but just after hearing these people literally give presentations on how to hire CEOs. I was like, okay. Like, let's get some color. Let's get some splash enough for that gray jargon. Yeah. Did you take your top off? No, they did ask me an interesting question that I didn't have a good answer for in the moment. Somebody asked me, if people like to watch you because of they relate to you. And I said, I think so, right? I mean, I think people always tell you and I, I'm the Trixie, I'm the Katya, I'm the whatever. Sorry. They go, they've made you more successful. And so how do you manage being relatable to them? But then like appearing. That's an excellent question. Like wealthier. Yeah. How do you maintain relatability while your lifestyle dramatically changes? That's a great question. But I think that minimizing or concealing that change in your life isn't honest. It isn't a good place to start from. It can be dishonest, right? Yeah. It's a really, it's a hard thing to negotiate because it's on the one hand, you want to share. Part of your relatability is sharing the details of your life. And yours? Yes. Oh yeah, I'm just saying one's life. And then, but of course, the problem is that many of those details have become wildly unrelatable. Right. So if we're talking about, I only have 18 rooms in my chalet. Oh. Oh. I would say you shouldn't have bought it. Yeah. Cause you know you need 20. Yeah. All right, we're gonna wrap. Oh, okay. Well, it was interesting anyway. And I just tried. Congratulations. I tried to grasp whatever wisdom, but so much of it was over my head. It was like HTML.biz. It was like, there was a pitching machine and I was swinging every time, but only connecting every once in a while. That's okay. It's like. That sounds kind of scary and boring. It wasn't scary or boring. It was like, it was the closest thing to college I'd felt since college. Oh, keep it. Icebreakers. I would rather just do the Gallagher thing and break watermelons. Yeah. It was interesting though. Really interesting. Do you know about streamers getting swatted? Swatted? People who like love big streamers, AKA hate them as we talked about, will call the FBI or whatever and say that there's like, gonna be a horrible bombing crime at that address. And while someone's on stream, the FBI SWAT team break into their fucking house. Isn't that crazy? Let's take a break. Let's take the ultimate break cause that episode's over. That's it. And I'm gonna go kick some walls or something. But we were talking to streamers and hearing streamers talk about like that next level of... Well, that's the thing. They know where you live. They know what you have for lunch. Cause they're watching you have it in your home. Yes. That's why I always shoot in a cave. What do you think about the guy who ran a car? In Kabul. In Cabo. I don't, Mary, come to Brazil, baby. Cynthia should have gone on that broom and flown them both out of there. Baby, when I was walking to, six years ago when I was wiggling my sweaty ass to a nightclub at 3 a.m. to a stage that had shit on it, I had a ring of 12 Brazilian bodyguards for me. Because people would have ripped the flesh out of my body. Brazil is next level. It's incredible. Okay. Goodbye. Bye. I'm Daisy Callagher. Chiefs, too, from Below Deck, Uncertified, Love a Girl.
