i hadn’t realised how quickly trixie changes topics until now lmao my brain has adapted to her talking to katya
😆I think her brain has adapted to talking to Katya too.
it seems so natural to my adhd brain im like yes i see the pivot queen that caleb calling it out i realized how zig zag it is 😅
@@catspajamboreeits a struggle when neither person notices the pivot
I am the same. I change from talking about flying squirrels to weather in Guam in a matter of seconds. LOL
I think it is her knowing the audience, we want that, and that's why she is the richest DragQueen in the world
Trixie being called out for conversation switching and being completely unaware why they were laughing is more representation than I’ve ever needed.
It was weird witnessing that because I'm so used to seeing her talk to Katya. It made me feel bad for her.
at times she wasn’t even joking she was just speaking and they would laugh? i was confused lol
I had to have a conversation with my close friends after watching this bc I had too many realizations
we needed this. ( me and the voices)
This should be the top comment lmao
i hate how accurate this comment is
@@amelietwentytwo rocking on the porch, looking at the parched fields of dopamine
But no.. we really needed this right now
Completely real
Trixie's adhd vs. Caleb's need for plot line organization goes OFF this entire episode 😂😅
And you can see towards the end he just quit and they were just discussing artists and twitter accounts and bands which is what usually happens in the bald and the beuatiful as well
Wow u put that in a line so swiftly
Its like poetry
And it works sooo well !
I speak for America when I say THANK FUCKING GOD for this
I literally ran to the comments to say I fucking needed this today
It was desperately needed
Yes. You fucking do.
I feel like Tracy really liked him tbh. You can tell when she’s not vibing during a podcast but they seem to genuinely get along like her and Britney
At least 60 minutes of not paying attention... Maybe I'll just put it on repeat.
Caleb not understanding trixie because trixie is talking to him like she talks to katya😭😭😭😭😭😭
i will rewatch with this in mind.
I will say its really healthy to sit in awkwardness and to lean into discomfort, especially people with phobias, trust and bravery go hand and hand when it comes to forming new relationships. I think hearon starts to mirror, attune, and get into a sort of dominant focused state. There are certain themes that come up in the video and they both had to practice boundaries but also do it in a vulnerable way. I respect that trixie didnt unpack her trauma even though caleb is able to sit with that. It showed tremendous restraint and empathy on both sides noticing when the other felt uncomfortable and backing off. Its clear that both of them have helped sit with highly stressed people, and vicarious trauma is a really complicated subject
@@Luke-zv6bbI’m so confused. Did a ChatGPT therapyspeak bot come up with this comment? You forgot to throw in “the body keeps the score”
Trixie genuinely praying at night for the 1000 lbs sisters is great representation for me.
So wholesome
I do the same thing. I want that whole family to make their money off TLC then leave.
This conversation reminds me of my Midwest mom calling her sister with the corded phone talking about nothing at all for two hours. So comforting.
And that is what? So True
That’s a lovely image
I'm dying! "I called friends, and they said "where are you?" I said, "bush" 😂😂😂
what’s the timestamp for this?
13:41
literally crying
cried laughing at this
Crying 😭 😂
“Do you think I’m really gay?” Was really very hilarious.
I think for some reason trixie meant it as in when she dresses like out of drag might not be as obviously gay presenting as in drag or her personality, I truly think she meant clothes/body wise because what she's wearing now for me it just looks hipster vibes, quirky ..etc
@ I have to say from the bottom of my heart that even out of drag trixie is really gay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In a Cheetah print Beanie, Ru Paul muscle t-shirt, and washed out skinny jeans 😭😂
@@who_Is_faten_helmimaybe if she just sat fully still
I literally said “thank god” and clicked on this
you and me both sister
Same
Literally
SAME
Same!
"Do you think I'm really gay?" - Trixie Mattel in a RuPaul muscle tee
my two midwestern mothers, thank you.
Isn’t Caleb a southern mom tho?
@@teamlining7685yes she’s both!
this is southern erasure
trixie is so used to her and katya only speaking in shorthands that calebs confusion is so valid
My favorite straight politicians back to RECOUNT THE VOTES
our patriots here to serveeeee
Oh my sweet summer child
Finally, these two will make America great again.
KDDJDKNDDMKF
@brardshepp no way you're missing the sarcasm here 😂
Trixie talks about her break like a college student coming back from their study abroad (happy for her)
Like a Baptist Midwestern teen who went on a missions trip😂
Trixie plz have Caleb on the channel and put him in drag im BEGGING
Oh yes PLEASE
Why do I feel like it would be v mistress Isabelle brooks coded lmao
Please, please, please.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know nothing about drag but him in some sort of southern belle look would EAT
Trixie homeschooled herself for 4 months and it SHOWS in her social skills 😂❤
The way this is phrased is hilarious
I love their dynamic because Caleb is so good at owning a room and usually has control over the guests, but that’s just bouncing off Trixie 😂
She’s a VIBRANT Leo 💅
He’s just letting her run wild 😂
@@LifesNeverHumDrumShe’s a Virgo
@ I think she’s a cusp baby
I think that just means nothing
So funny to me how Trixie clearly has ADHD, doesn't know it, and is so used to talking to Katya (who obviously also has it) and jumping between topics constantly, that when she talks to someone who's neurotypical, they are thrown off, confused and bemused by Trixie, and she's like, 'What?! I'm just talking.'
… I don’t think any successful comedian is neurotypical 😅
As someone who is autistic and has ADHD too, I can confirm both trixie and Katya most certainly have neurodivergence 🤍😂 love them.
Another thing to use in my very slow self-diagnosis 😭
I’m new to Trixie, but does Trixie use she/her pronouns when they aren’t in drag? I’ve only heard of cis male drag performers only wanting to be called she/her while they are in their drag persona, and he/him when they aren’t in drag.
@@bubba94290Pretty much anything goes in his/her/their case, I think.
Love when two god fearing, straight politicians get together and talk about what really matters
@@erikaflores7197 and the church said AMEN!
“Well I’m gay and I’m on vacation”
“We’ll just keep checking your bloodwork”
Trixie is giving, “I did acid and discovered empathy” after this break. 😂 but in a good way. 💕
that or, trixie did shrooms and discovered self compassion
yessss I love this for her
@aaronberube7410 its giving MDMT and metacognition
Ego death vibes 😭🫶🏻
"I did acid and discovered birds"
Trixie talking 50 cent lyrics is SENDING MEEEEE
The amount of products plugged in 2:56 minutes is INSANE. Trixie is back to wooorkk
Trixie is so real for that tho😔
I can only fit one plug in
@@coasterthekid8867Ma’am
oh ! 😃@@coasterthekid8867
@@coasterthekid8867rookie numbers
as someone who’s not a yapper and just likes to listen i love how trixie changes topics so quickly 😭
Same like thank god
its such an experience when youre either quiet but in your head yappy
or just straight up not yappy
its a spectacle lmao
“50 Cent Curtis Jackson 🤨😏🤔”
I’m in fucking tears 😭😭
not trixie having a crush on 50cent lmao but i get it
When he said "I fell into a bush and I had to stay there for a while" I straight up cackled so hard I looked around to see where the sound was coming from.
the way I was LITERALLY just rewatching the Trixie episode half an hour ago!!!!????, you are welcome everyone for manifesting this
SAME LOL
thank you so much cayla ann
Same yesterday bc I needed it!!!
SAME. like i was halfway through the video
That was me YESTERDAY
1:33 knowing that Trixie keeping her makeup inside a ziplock bag makes me feel less trashy, cause I do the same
it feels like im seeing my mom pull it out of her cars center console, throwing on extra powder before we go see family, and get a waft of hot stale perfume and seeing the crust of spilled concealer from tubes shes had since '08
its so cunt, i love it
JEEESUS! Trixie was in RARE FORM in this video and Oh. My. God. was it freaking amazing! I literally could have watched an entire day of this. She was almost giving like frantic Robin Williams energy at the speed her mind was going which is much like how my sense of humor works. Best video ever. Seriously. And Caleb’s reaction to all of it made it all even better.
Trixie is really so quick witted it’s amazing to watch. She also had the nastiest dark sense of humor ever. I do too but some of the stuff she says shocks me 😂 I love her
@ She is quick witted and it’s part of why I love her. I can relate. I often make jokes faster than the person I tell it to realizes it or they often don’t get the reference, which in turn annoys me. Haha. She was everything I needed today. This was like watching a Master Class.
You can tell she’s been ready to be BACK
One of my favourite things is watching a linear discussion person (Caleb) try to follow an adhd all over the place person (trixie) when they're talking😂 they're always so fascinated
Whenever everyone behind the camera can be heard laughing as well… it really brings me so much joy and I feel like I’m hanging out with friends 😂
i L O V E when this happens on the bald and the beautiful omg
we’re 3 steps away from an og tv audience
‘Wealth has padded every part of your life’ is a fcking crazy bar
the way trixie changes topics every 5 seconds and does impressions is so me
Obsessed with the person in the background gigging at “can it withstand watersports.” True ally.
post election depression this is exactly what i needed
Please.
Post election devastation is more like it. TERRIFIED
Amen to that.
Trixie Mattel going away for three months and then coming back all of a sudden liking kids is actually insane 😂😂 43:33
THANK GOD SOMEBODY CAUGHT THAT, OUR BITCH IS GROWING UP😔
Yes this! It's so fascinating bc she was such an avid hater for so long
22:51 obsessed with them telling like 5 stories all at once like what are yall even talking about😭😭😭
Sometimes I love having ADHD bc I didn't notice till I read this
@@mandoloonyou put it into words, my friend 😂
I just moved back to the South and the first Uber I got was a very Southern woman with the most country accent ever, and she asked me out of nowhere if I watch 1000 LB Sisters and we spent half an hour in the car talking about reality TV and how her daughter went on Jerry Springer twice. It was one of the funniest things I've ever had happen to me, we were both crying laughing by the end of the ride.
Im fucking pissing at "they said where are you and I said 'bush'" 13:56
I laughed so hard at this part my boss actually asked what I was listening to for the first time 😂
so funny..........
when the world needed him most, he returned
If I took a shot for every time Trixie said "on my break", I'd be paralyzed
Lmao can you blame her? It's like letting a zoo animal out of its cage for the first time in years 😂
The friendship chemistry is so fun, Trixie's Trump impression slays, Caleb's exasperated "what?" When Trixie says she's a psychic really sent me. This is so wholesome and fun. Trixie's so true is so much sweeter than I was ready for...just what an all-around treat.
26:13 Literally how I discovered Trixie and Katya. I watched one episode of I Like to Watch during the pandemic. The algorithm showed me all their work for at least two more days. I even found Caleb because of Trixie's first interview here.
Me too, 100%. Plus I was recovering from a broken ankle during the pandemic so I was even more of a hermit than normal.
This is my comfort episode. I’m watching for the 10th time lol
Lmao girl me too 😅
Trixie is just so damn likable and effortlessly funny.
I love the boisterous laughter in the background, it always enhances the show
GIVE THE GIRLIES WHAT WE WANT! A KATYA EPISODE
PLEASE!!
Please I'm begging
PLEASE😭😭
trixie not giving change on $60 is hilarious - mama will never forget her roots and THAT'S a queen of the people
the youtube algorithm really does love Tracy and her many progrums
I love how this is probably the only time I’m thankful for having ADHD and being able to understand and enjoy the ride of them constantly changing topics with no segues 😂 joking aside, I really loved this episode and was the gateway for me with other episodes of the pod
You knew we needed a queen after this past election, THANK YOU
Caleb just letting Trixie run wild is really what I needed today
The long pause and eyes closed moment after “did you watch the joker program?” 😭
9:44 the way trixie sniffed her fingers after touching caleb's hair...
Trixie seems energetic, refreshed, and healthy. I’m so happy to see it.
Trixie changing subjects every .045 seconds is SENDING ME lmaoooo
A flock of seagulls fighting over a piece of bread with a Newport in it 10:59
This made me choke😂
And I ran, I ran so far awayyyyyyyy
hold up, is this a haiku?
@@kevindonlan5803nearly!
I’m so happy that Trixie is doing good. She seems so much happier.
This was needed for a post-election week of sadness
Edit: Hearing Trixie saying that she wore drag to a voting place at an elementary school killed me
😭
22:45 "would you ever have kids" "yeah!" aww Katya called it 😭😭
90 seconds in and Trixie proving immediately that she is a BUSINESS WOMAN first and foremost
It’s magical seeing Trixie so refreshed, renewed and with a greater perspective on life
I’m so happy this friendship has gotten stronger. Have Caleb on the bald and the beautiful!
Honorary bald!
@@R0mbVs He's the Beautiful
Absolutely ❤He would be hilarious
Need this ASAP, please

The red state girlies needed this today thank u Caleb
they need to revisit
Love how much you just laughed directly AT Trixie the whole podcast 😭 too good
trixies ziploc bag of makeup is literally what i do when i travel
same!
oh that message Caleb's mom sends him made me pause the video and wipe my eyes, what a beautiful thing to say 🥺
CALEBRITIES WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!! TRIXIE WE NEED YOU IN THIS DARKEST HOUR!!! CALESBIANS RISE!!!!!
imma need to timestamp this In The Club moment at 15:00 cause I'm prob gonna revisit this video over and over again just for the dopamine boost of hearing Trixie get called out on her topic switching lmfaoooo
"pft YOUR couch? this is MUNA's couch" I PEED A LITTLE THIS IS THE GAY POD CROSSOVER JOKES WE NEED
Can I ask who is MUNA? I remember that joke but I don't think I know her lol
@@dglsfwlr lesbian band with a podcast called “gayotic”
@@dglsfwlr They're a band! They also have a podcast called gayotic with the same studio, headgum.
@@dglsfwlrIt's another podcast with three queer (?) women (not sure if all of them are queer) it's really good and Trixie's episode was especially good for me
all are queer but not all women iirc
“Becca, hey, girl 🙄” had me CACKLING
Our two favorite queers here to save the day
An hour and 9 minutes to numb the pain with you two beautiful strong women thank you
This video alone just pulled me back from the ledge of despair.
Good luck with that
Trixie sharking straight men is everything I never knew I needed
Caleb never knowing ANYTHING about dragrace is so wild to me
caleb yelling every time trixie looked at her phone and watch is so funny
Happy to be back with my 2 personal, very close friends
REAL
In a perfect world we’d get an hour of these two together WEEKLY
2:02 “this is Muna’s couch” I KNOW THATS RIGHT 🙂↕️🙂↕️
thank u for letting trixie yappppp this is an amazing look into her mind; so rejuvenated after her break!!
“Pfff your couch, this is MUNA’s couch” AHAHA
This couldn’t have come out at a better time. I need hope, y’all give me hope and your fans. Love you all so much. Thank you!!
Dying listening to trixie talk about the derby. Girl Kentucky is such a strange mix of generational wealth and poverty 😂😂
As the owner of a (somewhat malicious) parrot, I absolutely died at the parrot section.
Oh man, my dreams are coming trueeee. If they end up getting Trixie, Caleb, Drew, and Brittany together in one room I think the world would implode and they would be the 4 horsemen of the apocalypseeee. And I’m here for itttt 🤯🎉❤ Dream team for sure
the flirting in this episode is phenomenal thank you
god i missed trixie so much. America needs you trixie.
Trixies face at 58:35!! I thought the connection was buffering 😂😂😂 what I would give to know what was going on in Trixies mind.. Trixie went catatonic!! 😂😂😂😂
The twos of yous made a rough week better- I laughed out loud 😂❤❤ ! So grateful!! ❤️
😭 haven't seen trixie so comfortable and happy like this, i'm so happy for her - i laughed sooo much
I love Trixies rapid fire subject changes. That how my brain works too.
Thank you for posting this. I'll echo the sentiments of everyone here: I, too, desperately needed this today. Today of all days, of all the dark hours to come, this little light will always shine bright in my heart and the hearts of everyone else here. All my love, respect, and gratitude, Caleb and Trixie. 🖤🫶🖤
do anything you can to find even the teeniest sliver of distraction. election night i was watching a video and for a solid 15 mins COMPLETELY forgot everything that was going on and you can imagine the switch in emotions after becoming conscious. don’t feel bad about indulging in comfort food or staying in sweats all day. please find some peace in knowing you voted on the right side of history. sending you many hugs lauren ˙◠˙ ♡
@pinkfeet518 sending you the biggest hugs right back, pink. Thank you for this 😢🖤🫶🖤
@@ForReal_Lauren you are so welcome. we can make it through this 🫶🏻
@@pinkfeet518 Your comment--and all these comments--are just as impactful in lifting the grief. We will need to remind each other of what is real and true and beautiful and that we are not alone. Thank you.
@@Jessiepao not gonna lie, when i get a reply to a comment i’m scared to look because we all have been belittled for, rightfully so, feeling defeated. i’m trying to stay kind and positive even though i’m screaming on the inside. just this little comment section alone has brought me to tears, your sweet reply included. we were outnumbered this time but that doesn’t take away the 66 million of us who tried. sending you so much love jessie 🫶🏻
Missy Elliott being #2 on Trixie's list alongside a band like DEVO (and of course the obvious like Gaga) encapsulates how much i loved how wild and weird this was. it was so grounding for me.
I love Trixie so much. She deserves all the success.
1:03:59 Trixie: “Mm, they’re in Sarasota, FL.”
Me in Sarasota, FL watching this in bed at midnight: 😳🫢👀
same, and 6 months after it was posted. whoa.
thank fucking christ. needed this to get thru another gruesome day.
In a miraculous contrast to the new Bald and the Beautiful set, Caleb’s set so beautifully warm, cozy, and nicely lit.
