You know when you want to make people hard,
so you wear a mushroom wig, glasses and a high neck?
Yeah. It's the lashes peeking through the frames
that really gets my, yeah.
I'm shielding my eyes from debris.
Yeah.
Hi, it's me, Trixie Mattel.
And, I'm Katya.
And, we are two Queens who like to watch,
and today we're going to watch season two
of Special on Netflix.
"Special."
Spoilers abound.
If you're really put off by a couple of hot,
sexy, fly, beautiful ladies
telling you what's going to happen,
I would just take a pause right now and revisit us later,
once you've completed the series, okay?
Mm hmm. We've already seen season one.
- Love it, okay? - Love.
I'm actually really thrilled,
I watched it because it's gay,
Yeah.
and I'll watch anything gay,
but like, it ended up, I was like, "This is really good."
In season one
they talked about something I never thought about,
which is a person with disabilities using a prostitute
to have sex for the first time.
Also, he's afraid to take his shirt off at a gay party?
- Mama. - Very relatable.
I'm very able-bodied, and I find that relatable.
Yeah.
Roll the footage.
I know what I'm doing.
Are we still on for tonight?
Yes.
All right, so we're catching up with our friends Ryan,
and his best friend, Kim,
and they're at work and they're getting reprimanded
because they are not inspired to write new articles.
Crushing disappointments.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I forgot about this whore from season one.
I've never seen the show.
Oh my God.
This is their like, super hard ass boss,
who has not a bone of like, comedy in her body.
What is this egg yolk?
That's where they work.
EggWoke, that's going to be my service
for young, liberal, rich girls who wanna freeze their eggs.
Yeah. Mine's gonna be EggToke,
where, when I catch you smoking weed, I egg your house.
What are you working on?
I'm actually kind of having a writer's block moment
right now.
But, our new workspace has an inspiration teepee.
Have you not been?
By the way, Netflix, Queens Who Like to Watch,
where's our (beep) teepee? These tarps?
This is the inspiration teepee.
This popcorn? Ayahuasca.
It's--
See? Can't even do it.
Why don't you just write about your disability again?
Okay, in season one, Ryan wrote about his disability,
and that was his way of kind of like,
coming out to the whole office that he,
has a disability.
Right.
So then, everyone was suddenly interested in his writing.
Okay, gotcha.
Enjoy Dawson's Creek, lovers.
Spoiler alert, Jen dies at the end.
Hello? How are you?
One of my favorite television tableau's.
Ryan is on the prowl, goes out to a bar,
and he gets some action.
Work.
I love the chase, I love the catch, I love the kill.
Well, have you ever chased and not caught?
But I've killed.
I dunno, judging by our posture,
I'd say we're the only two queers here.
Do you do small talk? Do you do this banter?
Do you do this like,
For the sex?
- Yeah. - Oh, yeah.
You and I have very different approaches.
- We sure do. - The Night Stalker over here,
walks up to men and says,
"I'm very attracted to you,
"I would like to have sex with your naked body,
and also mine is naked.
What do you think about that?"
Right here, right now.
Well, I've always been an activist.
This has never happened to me.
We asked for representation and we get science fiction.
FYI. I have a boyfriend.
What?
We're open, totally above board.
Okay.
Could you date someone who had a boyfriend?
No, absolutely (beep) not.
I need a person who's going to be so zeroed in,
and so controlling, that is going to text me,
"You went for about 15 minutes for toilet paper,
where are you?"
A hundred percent, that's hot.
That's so hot to me.
I've said it before,
I just want a guy who is obsessed with me,
but also will completely leave me alone.
You're telling me I have a boyfriend
that I only have to see every two weeks?
- You're like jacking, - Love it.
I want a boyfriend with two boyfriends.
Can I buy you another drink? Happy hour's still going.
Okay, now it's ladies night, right?
Ryan's mom, Karen, and Kim,
they go out to get a little piece of their own.
I live in the Hollywood Hills actually.
I'm getting a strong "I have three roommates" energy
from you, true or false?
I live alone.
He's literally rich,
and she's like, "No, you're povo."
God, you're beautiful.
Not to get gross. I think he's so,
Him?
No, the other one.
Branden, Branden.
Oh, see? This would be our ideal date
because I'm looking for Mr. I Live Alone
in the Hollywood Hills,
with a beautiful cinnamon skin tone.
I'm looking for my son who ran away from home.
Exactly. You're looking to adopt,
Yes.
And I'm looking to be adopted.
It's so nice to meet you, Karen.
Oh, it's Ms. Hayes.
What is she doing?
She doesn't want the 12 year old.
Yeah, but you don't have to patronize him.
He tried to kiss her.
No, he just went into say it closer.
No.
No, no, no, he said, because he's a soft spoken person,
very sensitive, so sometimes like, for example,
"Goodnight."
See? You can't even hear the first one.
That's worse than you fucking me.
I'll do it again, I'll do it again,
Can't hear that.
Goodnight. See? Can't hear it.
That's a great way to flirt is to talk so quiet,
They have to lean in, you lure them.
Is this your house?
Okay, he wasn't lying.
No.
Oh, I get it. You live with your parents, we'll be quiet.
Michael Clayton.
I love her not believing he's rich, love it.
Yeah, yeah, I think it's great.
My name is not Derek, it is Harrison,
and when I was 22, I invented this app.
(beep) him.
Harrison?
What was, what's that face?
Sometimes I think I wasted my whole sexual life.
Have you ever been picked up like that?
I can't even get picked up.
You have to get picked up to get get picked up.
I can't even get picked out of a lineup.
- Hi. - Oh, hi.
Hot on the heels of his first hookup romance,
Ryan decides to go on another date
and this time with an actor,
and of course actors being actors
he expects absolutely the worst,
but is pleasantly surprised.
Work.
Are you aware that you're like,
out of my league or something?
What? No, I think it's the other around.
Oh, no.
Never let them see you sweat.
Never.
I don't care if he says he's Elon Gates.
Elongates.
Great drag king name, rich drag king with a big (beep.)
- Elon Gates. - Elon Gates.
Ryan brings home his lovely date,
and we find out that his date fetishizes people
with disabilities, which is a different thing.
That's a different thing mama,
fetishization does not equal desire.
It gets creepy.
But then again, I have friends who,
their boyfriend is really thin and they're really big,
and they're like, "Yeah, he's really into big guys."
Preference versus prejudice, and also fetishization,
- is three different things, - Yeah.
because I can prefer to date a bigger body type,
but like, you, you can't prefer to only date white people,
Yeah.
Like, it doesn't work like that.
I prefer comfortable, but I fetishize rich.
Yeah.
I think it's so sexy you used to wear leg braces.
Oh. Okay.
I'm just really into disabled guys.
You all are so hot to me.
Oh, Jesus Christ, no, that's a wrap,
that's a wrap.
Oh, he's so turned off.
So turned off.
It's not the same, but there's a lot of people,
- we call them race chasers, - Yeah.
who Pokemon Go, gotta-catch-'em-all,
try to have sex with all the Drag Race queens.
That's a fetishization.
I think it is too.
Yeah. It's a fetishization of fame.
When somebody like, in the world, in the wild,
wants to do me, I go,
"Great. How many Drag Race queens have you had sex with?"
And, it's always,
Three or four.
Yes. It's not the same,
I'm not saying being a famous drag queen is the same.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
it's just that, but that feeling of like, "Oh, come on."
I thought you liked me because of me.
Yes. When you realize that they're in the room
for the wrong reasons, it's so demoralizing.
The guy should have made sure
that they were both on the same page earlier than that.
Yeah, and I don't think that's a page
that really should be turned in real life,
when it's talking about,
when people are actually looking up for love relationships,
you know what I mean?
That's in a, that's in a weird, dark realm.
I mean it is if both people are fine with it.
Yeah.
But he clearly wasn't fine with it.
Right, right, right, yeah, yeah.
I'm a busty blonde, and not everyone wants that.
I know. When I walk into a guy's house
and all he has are like, lithographs of huge giant jugs
like these on the walls,
You're like, "Ugh, not again."
here we go again.
When a guy pulls up in his Tahoe
and the mudflaps have that and I'm like, "That's my body."
All right, so things are still going well with Tanner,
and Tanner's boyfriend wants to meet Ryan.
And it proves to be awkward.
Hi there, I'm Richard, so nice to finally meet you.
I don't know if I could do that.
I cannot, I will never be number two.
I would say being open in Los Angeles is fairly common,
- Yeah, yeah. - it's not common everywhere.
Thank you.
- People here are whores. - Not in Sicily, Mama,
not in Sicily.
They're whores.
Last summer we started off in Rome,
and made our way through Tuscany.
Okay, babe, we're starting to sound like those bougie gays
who brag about their travels and say things like,
What?
No, that's what I'm saying like,
this could be very disarming, to be like,
"We were just in Tuscany together,
what have you been doing?"
"Um, I've been cross-dressing on Netflix."
Yeah. "We were crushing grapes in Firenze."
Would you ever do the grape stomping?
Absolutely I would.
Would you drink it?
Oh, I don't drink wine.
But your feet are so dry,
the wine would get,
sucked in, purple feet for the rest of the year.
Purple feet.
Okay.
Cheers.
I love wine.
- I know you do. - I really do.
You drunk bitch.
But you know what,
I really graduated from high school
where I was maybe carrying around a warm bag of Franzia
with a woman named Gina, and now I'm elevated to more like,
- wines delivered to my home. - Yeah.
I mean, I get a lot of free wine.
Is it trash?
No, I get a lot of free wine.
What's the difference between trash and not trash wine?
Okay, if you're at the 99 cent store,
Okay.
No, no, no, no, my old manager, who I love, Diana,
love her. Hi girl.
When I first moved to LA, I was like,
"What's the 99 cent store?"
She was like, "Oh girl, I can take you there
and I'll show you all the good wines."
Cause she's like, "At 99 cents, there's some horrible ones,
and some surprisingly good ones."
Oh, okay.
So, coming up, Ryan's mom, Karen is in a state of grief
because of her recently deceased mom,
and she's lashing out at Ryan as a result.
Don't say a word.
Horrible. Worst dress ever.
Ryan, what did you do?
You forgot a slip.
Her dead jugs are wilding out in the casket.
- Close the casket anyway. - Yeah, and tape it shut.
I wish they'd cut down to the grandma,
and it's both breasts out,
like, shifted completely different directions.
Yeah, like, you know how girls wear like,
a tank top to bed and they come out of the sides?
- Yes, that. - That's it.
Oh my God, she's wearing a red dress.
Of course she is.
You. Holy shit, that's you.
Could you possibly hand these out?
I can't do that. I'm just, I have carpal tunnel.
It is you. Me asking you to come to set for 10 minutes.
We're going to start in just a moment.
Enjoy.
Enjoy. Like they're at a TGI Friday's happy hour.
She's like, "Stop flirting."
I'm stimming, honey.
Self stimulatory behavior is occasionally a symptom
of people like me, that were diagnosed with Asperger's.
So, Ryan hangs out with people with disabilities
for the first time and finds out he has a lot in common.
Oh.
Who would've thought?
But I mostly identify as hot.
Sticking it to the man.
Let's do a twirl for me.
Who, me? Okay.
Would you ever go to an adult prom?
I would go to it, I would go to an adult one.
Can we talk for a second?
No boobs in drag, you know how I hate that.
I'm looking for silicone chicken cutlets.
Peeking out the sides.
I have to say, not to be gay,
seeing a man in a dress at an event like this
is very exciting.
Also, he's so adorable.
Henry, is there any punch in here at all?
Ryan, it's not prom unless someone pukes.
Come on, babe.
Looks like prom already started.
Love her.
Yeah.
She's like, "I'm about to puke, bitch."
I made you a to do list.
"Tell Olivia she's thin,
like Nicole Richie running on the beach in 2005 thin."
These are errands for like, an intern.
That's right, diva. Me confused.
I love her dude.
She's so ridiculous.
If I'm not her.
You are her.
- I'm her. - You are her.
That's me at Trixie Cosmetics when I walk in at 4:30
and I see people packing up to leave and I go,
"Oh. Did the time turn back?
Oh, time theft, fun."
Everybody meet our new team member, Kim.
All right, so Kim has been unemployed for a while,
and she gets a new job,
but Kim realizes that being the only woman at a company
is not maybe what she envisioned.
Can relate.
You'll never be the only woman at anything.
It's all dudes and me?
Oh God, is she their clunky diversity hire?
Oh no.
I want to do a funny listicle called,
"10 times AOC has been cut off
by her male colleagues during,"
That sounds great,
because it caters to the female experience.
Don't cancel me.
I did one day in an office once in New York,
and I played a lot.
What were you doing there?
I'm glad you asked. I got fired.
There's something really hot about guys in glasses.
Yeah, what is that you think?
Is it the windshield, the windshield wiper effect?
I don't know, maybe it's because I don't have glasses,
so I think people with glasses are hot?
I think it's because you can, there's always the,
you can tell when they're crying
cause the glasses fall, fog up.
They fall off. The glasses fall right off when people cry.
No, they fog up, so you're like, "Oh, I know how you feel.
Come close to me."
Right, yeah. I'll embrace you.
Additional note,
I would (beep) him until he's black and blue.
Ryan?
Yeah.
He's cute, yeah, Ryan is really cute.
Hi Ryan. I talked to him on Grindr once,
I say, "Congratulations on Special, it's so good."
He said, "Thank you."
He said, "(beep) off you whore."
Ryan invites Tanner over,
and he has a plan to tell him he loves him,
but he's a little off script.
Hello Tanner, thank you for coming.
I hope there wasn't too much traffic on the way here.
Would you want to come in?
What?
What? Is this a guided tour at the Louvre?
You know what? (beep) it, I love you.
I love you too.
Have you ever told someone you love them?
No.
One time I was dating a guy in Kentucky,
and we were going to Dollywood,
and I had a plan to tell him at Dollywood that I loved him,
and we were on the top of a roller coaster,
and it was like click, click, click, click,
and I was like, "Okay, just say it, just say it,"
and I was like, "I love you."
And, you know what he said?
What?
"Ahhh," because it's a roller coaster,
and then he said nothing back, and we broke up.
Oh, sex.
Sex, do it.
Whose room is this?
They're in a cot, a children's cot in a hostel.
Sucking (beep) in a cot?
Do you smell that?
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,
oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
You know what? We're being unfair.
We need to act like this is normal for the children.
Okay. You're right, you're right,
you're right, you're right.
Go ahead, show me the (beep).
Sucking (beep) in a cot, what is it?
Sucking (beep) in a car?
And so you just had anal sex,
if you think there's a smell, there is a smell,
- Okay. - and be discreet.
Yeah. Listen, you don't immediately just go in for like,
you withdraw gently, and you make your way very gingerly
- to the bathroom, - Yeah.
because there's going to be (beep) on your (beep).
It's not going to be like, all over your body,
but you've got to get (beep) (beep) to the bathroom,
and don't make the person feel bad.
If you're going to eat this Caesar salad,
and then complain to me about croutons?
Like, and this is not a good personality trait.
No.
- Do you know what though? Ryan's learning.
What is there to say?
So Olivia, the awful boss, having her wedding,
and Ryan makes a speech at the wedding,
and uses the opportunity to just go off.
How the (beep) do I feel? So, I quit.
Work.
People clapping by the way, love it.
Throw the microphone at her.
You should throw the microphone at her.
A wedding with someone who's a planner with a headset?
Oh yeah, that's a thing, I've seen it in real life.
My mom's wedding was a potluck,
you had to bring food or you can't come.
We're having a slight debate over here,
we were wondering if you would settle it.
Karen, Ryan's mom, is out to eat,
and she gets invited over to a table,
and it looks like she's going to come out of her funk,
and make some new friends.
A cameo by one,
- Leslie Marie Jordan. - Leslie Jordan.
Leslie Elizabeth Marie Jordan.
Nobody is going to abuse me,
unless I ask for it.
Leslie Jordan coming in at a cool four foot seven.
Yeah.
Love her. She was in one of my music videos,
- and I was like, - I remember.
- and she literally, - I was there.
looks like my daughter, this tall.
Your elderly daughter.
Oh, in the video, it was Western,
so she had on a cowboy hat and everything,
and he was improv-ing,
and his line was like, "Everybody shut up,"
and he points at someone and goes,
"And you over there, with the old balls."
And, we kept it, it was so funny.
This show's got it all.
It does. It has Ryan, hi Ryan,
Ryan.
Some great fashions.
Great fashions, great characters.
Great, great frank explorations of modern sexuality.
Some sexual fumbling.
Yeah, boobs, butts and titties.
Throuples.
- Awkward encounters. - Fetishes.
Fetishization of persons with disabilities.
Death in the family.
A can-do attitude,
and a spirit that will transcend all hardships.
So, why don't you check out season two
of Special on Netflix.
Dot com.
