[clapboard clacks]
[Mamrie making horse(?) noises]
Beanz, I just want to see you on the back of a race horse.
So bad.
I want to put a fake... tiny fake jockey on it.
[off-camera] What if she fell in love with a race horse?
Mamrie: Oh my god. Grace: [gasps] That's a movie premise that needs to be pitched.
Wow... "A Race to the Altar." [Grace gasps]
[off-camera] Oh my god...
Oh, if Beanz in a past life was a race horse,
and then she comes back as Beanz,
but she's still in love with her one true...
Hold on, finish it Grace, I need the rest of that idea.
Uh, you gotta pay me for the rest of that pitch!
Mamrie: Giddy up! Grace: And she's off!
Whoaaa!
I'm Grace.
I'm embarrassed.
And this is Joey Lawrence, I guess.
[slow motion] Whoooooaaaaa.
Today, this might get racey.
Yeeesss! We are talking about the Kentucky Derby.
It just happened!
I did just happen.
The Kentucky Derby is run annually,
and it's on the first Saturday in May
at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
[deep voice] Wow...
Yeah, and here's um, really, I mean...
We have a lot of fun facts on this page.
Approximately 120,000 mint juleps are served annually
during the two-day period of the Kentucky Oaks.
and Kentucky Derby.
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
That's a lot of mint!
Will we have a mojito shortage in June?
[laughs off-camera]
Another fun fact is that
no Derby has ever been postponed because of rain or bad weather.
Mamrie: Get outta here! Grace: They run every single year.
Only three fillies have ever won the Derby. - OK.
I think that means female horses?
Their names were Regret, - I know that one.
Genuine Risk, and Winning Colors.
I mean, yeah. All very, very feminine.
Yes, exactly.
Also, foals, as we know, are the babies.
But the maximum age for a competing horse is three years.
Maximum?! - Maximum
Wow I thought *Hollywood* had some biases with age.
This is crazy.
Exposé.
[whispering] This is cra... This is racey. - [whispering] OK.
[softly] I've heard that, like, the horse that won all three,
when it did the Triple Crown.
What was his name, California what?
[off-camera] Chrome.
California Chrome.
Crumb?
[off-camera] Chrome.
Mamrie: Crumb? Grace: Chrome?
[softly again] I heard, like, a Triple Crown horse - Uh huh.
gets like $100,000 for a bang session.
There's no regret there. [boos]
God, yeah.
But a genuine risk that it's not gonna take. [boos]
Yeah, and hopefully, there's winning colors at the end of it. [boos]
Whoo! We did it! - We got there.
I could really care less about watching the horses race. - OK.
I'm not a huge gambler.
I like the fashion.
The fashion.
Look at... I mean, can you not tell that we love fashion?
We love fashion.
We live for it. We breathe it.
We sweat it out.
[deep voice] Fashion.
Specifically, the hats. - Yeah.
Like, the derby hats are amazing.
A: It's great because it blocks your face from the sun,
which is very in.
Skincare is very in. - We hear.
But also, you know, it's your little, like,
put your own spin on it.
Oh yeah. - It's your personality.
The derby hats are like a big part of the tradition.
It's, like, what people come to see.
Not only the race, but they want to see what everyone's wearing,
'cause those hats get out of control.
I wish we had some facts about 'em.
No, no hat facts.
No hat facts. - Nope.
I, however, think it's a shame that
those kind of outlandish, crazy hats are only saved for, like,
derbies and royal weddings. - Right.
I want to bring it more, like, to more holidays.
Yeah, every day could be a hat holiday.
Let's do something in a little bit we call...
[together] "Hats Off"?
Oh no, we're becoming the same person.
Yeah... I'm in to this.
We have with us right now two plain hat bases.
And today, Mamrie and I are gonna take a stab at
designing and creating -- DIY'ing -- our own Derby hats
that we think might be able to be worn all days of the year.
We split up during our lunch break. [We] each had 30 bucks, - Yep.
and went to a nearby shopping center
and got different supplies to decorate our derby hats with, - Mhm.
to make them not just suitable for the derby.
To make them unique fashion pieces that I think
truly represent each of us individually.
Aaaaand, they're off!
[bags rustling]
Mamrie: Here we go...
Grace: My supplies!
[more rustling]
I didn't really...
figure out the infrastructure of my hat,
which is flimsier than I anticipated.
So we'll see if my vision comes to fruition.
Mamrie: I thought we'd have more of, like, a wire brim.
Yeah, I'm with you.
So, I have a couple different scenarios that could manifest. - OK.
Um, all right...
Uh oh.
What...
I don't know if mine works.
Oh, no!
There we go. There we go.
Mamrie: [mumbling] That looks nasty as hell.
[laughs off-camera]
[deep voice] OK...
I'm feeling myself.
Oooo!
As the kids say.
So Grace, where would your derby hat be worn?
I think mine is gonna be kind of like a statement piece - Mhm.
Grace: that could be worn
[Sharpie noises]
Grace: in a variety of
Grace: settings and scenarios.
Mamrie: [deep voice] OK... Grace: Yeah.
I'm going for, like, a message. - OK.
What the hell is this?
This is not what I signed up for!
[laughs off-camera]
I don't know what that is, but
[slow motion] it's cuuuute.
While I was buying all this, I also had Beanz with me, and
she would... but I didn't have a leash so I was just carrying her,
so I looked like an extra-insane person.
Ooo, that's always fun! - Mhm.
A fun Mamrie lunch.
You know what would be fun? - What?
If we had mint juleps while we did this. - Ooohhh!
Please, we're working up to that.
Grace: K...
[plastic container snaps] [trees roll around]
Hot glue guns are friggin' scary! - True.
I have burned the absolute
[bleep] out of my fingers before on... - Really?
Yeah! Do you know - Go on.
I feel like it's half of my burns.
Like, hot glue gun control now because it...
[laughs off-camera]
She did it. She did it.
I did it. I worked it in.
Mamrie: Can I get, like
gaffer tape?
This is an emergency!
I'll take a whole rooooooll.
Mamrie: OK, I'm done, I think.
[plastic bag crinkling] Grace: Hold on, I need, like, just two seconds.
OK, I think I'm good.
Hands up! Step away from the derby hats!
All right! [cheering off-camera]
Hats off! Hats off! [applause off-camera]
Grace: Wow I haven't looked over 'til just now,
Grace: and a lot has gone by. Mamrie: Yours is incredible.
I'm sure some people think the Derby's not great
on, like, an animal level. - Yeah.
So I thought, if you're gonna wear something as big as a billboard on your head,
you might as well promote something.
So this is my Save the Ocean derby hat.
[applause off-camera] Grace: Ohhh! Very nice!
Thank you.
It's really pretty.
Thank you very much. - Yeah.
The big shark isn't too much?
No it looks like the big shark is screaming,
and this is like a cartoon speech bubble.
Ooo, I love it!
I know a lot of
people are scared of sharks, - Yeah.
so I figure, it's a *really* crowded race.
There are gonna be some people who are crazy enough to be like,
[mumbles] "I don't wanna go near that shark."
Oh yeah! It gives you personal space.
Plus, if they come near me, I'll just go
[gnashes teeth]
So, I basically combine my two hat ideas into one.
One was just to do a hat inspired by
our show "This Might Get." - Love it.
You can see the colors and the banana
are also very inspired by our set
I created an alternate universe on my hat [Mamrie gasps] in which
the horses are drinking beers with tiny derby hats Mamrie: Oh my gosh!
and watching the humans race.
Mamrie: Whoa!
[applause off-camera]
Yeah. Look, they got little... their own little derby hats on the hat.
Mamrie: These hats are brilliant!
It's like all the rich people have to race
and the horses are betting on the people.
I love this alternate universe.
Yeah, I just wanted to, you know, fair play.
So, my second hat, because I had a little extra budget. - Mhm.
So I thought, "Why not go for two?"
Sometimes when you take a fashion risk, like this, - Yep.
it all feels great until you get to the place, and then you're like,
[clenched teeth] "Oh, I wish I wasn't wearing a hat." - Right.
Like, this is too much.
So I thought, why not combine the two.
So I made a hat
that's a person not wearing a hat.
Whoaaa! [applause off-camera]
Grace: Oh my god!
So that way, you know,
if you're feelin' it, throw another one on top of that bad boy!
Yeah! If you get remorse over *this* look,
you can just add a hat
And, you look like a psycho.
So, again, my method to not have people come near me works for this style as well.
You should install, like, a little camera, like, a little periscope
so that you can see over the rest of the crowd when the race has started.
Brilliant idea.
Yeah, just, I mean, if you guys haven't been able to tell,
this whole episode has just been us showing off our geniuses.
We're basically two Kanye Wests.
[together] Nope.
Grace, who do we have a gratitude problem with today?
This may be my favorite one we've had so far. - Really?
It's from liekkivalas on Instagram,
and here's just the caption first. - OK.
"I heard Mamrie say the words
'Let's go try on my raccoon suit. You can be a possum.'
and I knew my time to be a Gratitude Problem had come.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out 'This Might Get.'"
And it's a... it looks like a watercolor of us as a raccoon and a possum.
Oh my god.
And it said "This might get trashy."
It usually does.
This is like looking into a mirror. Wow.
Thank you so, so much for this.
And if you guys want to be featured in an upcoming Gratitude Problem segment,
