- Get the shoes, honey, get the shoes.
- Rochester, New York.
- This is a $40 stripper shoe
that that person over there glued broken jewelry to.
- Lovely. It looks so classy.
- Thank you.
It's the clear plastic strap I think.
(Katya laughs)
Or the smell.
(Katya laughs)
Hi, I'm Trixie Mattel.
- And I'm Katya.
- And we are two queens who like to watch.
- Yes we do.
- Today we're watching "Feel Good," season two.
- Do you like to feel good?
- I love to feel good.
(Trixie and Katya moan)
(upbeat music)
Spoilers: feelings are gonna get felt
and they're gonna be good, so.
- This has drama, relationship drama,
it has sobriety journeys.
It has different expressions of gender.
- Oh, different expressions of gender.
Who would you say this expression of gender is today?
- They look like your real boobs.
- Uh huh.
(Trixie laughs)
(Katya laughs)
(gentle music)
- All right.
So Mae is going to rehab, parents are paying for it.
- Lovely.
- And Lisa Kudrow's the mom.
- Mmmhmm.
- Dropping off at rehab and providing clam chowder,
for some reason.
- I mean-
- Perhaps a lesbian read? I don't know.
- New England clam chowder.
- Do you like clam chowder?
- No! It's disgusting.
It's so gross.
- It is disgusting.
- It's so gross.
- Yeah, thank you for paying for it again.
- Right away, right upfront,
Lisa Kudrow, I just can't not laugh.
(Trixie laughs)
- I know, she's so good.
- She hasn't done anything yet.
- She's just staring there.
- Fine. It'll be great.
I mean, it's fine.
It's rehab, you know.
- [Katya] It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
- Is rehab fine?
- No.
Not at all.
(both laugh)
It's many things. Fine is not one of them.
- Your mother made a flask of clam chowder.
- We're proud of you.
- Do you want to come in?
- Oh, absolutely not.
(both laugh)
- Honestly, I not worried about Mae.
Like, she's coming back.
- Okay. So, up next we have George, Mae's girlfriend.
Who is purging after George has disappeared
and may or may not be fine.
I just did a quick purge of my Facebook friends
this morning.
- She's coming back.
- She's not coming back, George.
- And when she does,
she's going to realize that I'm a different person,
like a better person.
- We can't be together?
You're perfect for me.
- Yeah, everything about you is amazing.
It's impossible.
- Yeah. You live halfway across the planet
and you have a husband?
Are we in love?
(Katya laughs)
- Is this gonna work?
One of the funnest things at rehab, your new roommates.
So, Mae meets Marsha.
(Trixie laughs)
And it's a nightmare.
- Did you ever have a roommate?
- Oh yes.
This guy snored like-
- Was he your "accountabili-buddy?"
- Like he was vacuuming the floor.
- No.
- Yes.
Like a Dyson on high, yeah.
- Well, not supposed to be high.
(Katya laughs)
- Don't I know you?
- Oh, well I'm a comedian.
So you may have seen some of my material online
or perhaps you heard me on a podcast.
- No, no, something else.
- That is maybe relatable content.
Because if you're at all in the public eye
and you go to rehab, anonymity out the window.
- Please, I was trying to convince people I was famous,
they were not buying it.
- [Trixie] No!
- I was like, "I'm a famous drag queen.
I'm really sexy."
And they were like, "Yeah right."
I had to have, you know, put up the YouTube.
- Should be like, "I'm like Topanga
from 'Boy Meets World."
And there like, "Ah."
- Ah.
- I need a lot of attention from certain people
to feel that I'm okay.
I am afraid to be alone.
- That's Eve?
"Tambourine."
- Yes, "Tambourine."
- Girl. "Tambourine," "Tambourine" song.
- It's a great song.
- Eve looking literally 30. 28.
- Yeah, literally-
It's so bizarre.
- (beep)ing beautiful.
- It's so bizarre.
- You'll keep hurting each other over and over and-
Oh, Marsha, please!
(urine splashes)
(Katya laughs)
- Like, when you go to rehab.
Well, I mean I don't know how many different places
you've been, but-
(both laugh)
I don't mean it like that.
Like, I don't mean to say by going to one,
you know about all.
(Katya giggles)
But is it like people in clinical gear like,
"Welcome, we've been waiting for you."
- Like with the-
I Care A Lot.
- Yeah, is it that?
- They, this.
(Trixie laughs)
- Is it that?
- No, no.
I mean, it depends.
Like, most rehabs are not fancy.
But some of them are like boondock nasty.
- Yeah, but in Malibu everybody's going to be in recovery
for like whippets or LaCroix.
(Katya laughs)
- Or gasoline.
- Do they make people go around and share?
- Yeah.
- And you go like, "Well, I'm a busty blonde."
- "Well, I'm a flop who loves drama."
(Trixie laughs)
Sorry.
- I love caffeine and (beep).
(Katya laughs)
So what?
- I like fast cars and slowwww people.
(both laugh)
- Why do some people need so much help just to exist?
And then other people don't need any help at all.
- Mae wants to know why she's so messed up.
And Audrey begins to explain what trauma is.
- It probably has something to do with astrology.
- Which is a very similar conversation
I plan on having with you at some point.
- Mm, astrology?
- Explaining what drama is.
(Katya laughs)
I don't want to talk about trauma,
I want to talk about drama.
- What trauma?
I was so privileged when I was a kid.
You know I played the oboe?
(both laugh)
- Oboe is rich.
Those reeds are a minimum like $12, $13.
- What's it sound like?
(Katya hums)
- It sounds funny.
Like- (Trixie quacks)
- Mae leaves rehab and does the first thing
that's going to really fortify her new life
as a sober person, does stand-up.
- Yeah.
- Now let me tell you what not to do, right?
- Tell me.
- Right after you leave rehab,
you don't want to do stand-up, I don't think.
- They also serve drinks at comedy clubs.
- Good point.
(tense music)
- Okay. Something's happening.
(Mae loudly breathes)
- Well.
Stand-up is extremely hard
and you have to be in the right mood
with the right amount of preparation.
- Yeah.
- Just for it to go okay.
- We've tried rehab.
That didn't work.
- So Mae's parents swoop in and try to keep her at home
rather than rehab.
And we'll see how this goes.
- Which is a great way to not feel the urge to do drugs,
live with your parents.
- Live with your parents, no stressors.
Easy, okay?
- Yeah, everyone wants to live with their parents.
- Yeah.
- At dawn, you and I will be having yogurt in the garden.
Then you'll be assisting your mother with her book.
- I have to say, maybe I just don't have the sympathy-
- For richies?
- Yeah. Like here's, by the way, both parents.
- Yeah.
- In our beautiful home.
You have to stay with us
and we've planned your day for you.
I'm not even sure my mom knows I'm alive.
(Katya laughs)
- I won't have you at that club, Mae.
Comedians are vultures.
They took you once, they won't do it again.
(Katya laughs)
- But I'm 30 years old, I'm not a child.
(both laugh)
- I think it's hard for, let's say, butch-presenting women.
- Yes.
- They probably get carded for life.
- I know, that's why a glue on beard comes in handy.
(Trixie laughs)
Glue on beard, mama, ZZ Top.
You can just do the string one over the ears.
- Or just, I guess like a mall Santa.
- [Katya] Like, hold on.
- I just have to say as a bald American,
Mae's hair is such an affront to me.
- What do you mean? Why, why?
- It's so gorgeous.
- Oh.
- It's a fresh haircut, it's perfectly colored.
- How much would you pay to have that piece on your head,
permanently?
- I'd kill her and her whole family.
(Katya laughs)
- So George meets a little cutie at work named Elliott
who is by bisexual and polyamorous.
What is polyamorous?
- Polyamorous means that you
are interested in having more than one lover at once.
- I'm bi and poly.
The labels don't matter.
- Okay.
- It's just about exploring your space in the world.
- Mm.
- What do you care about?
- Oh, like nothing, really.
(woman laughs)
- Plants, the environment, I love the sun.
- My mom.
Others, I care about others.
- People's feelings are very important to my feelings.
(Trixie laughs)
- Nothing gets me like a hard day's work, ha, ha, ha.
- I find it sexy that you like bees.
- Don't trust a bisexual poly.
Just tells me that you don't know what you want,
and you also want everything.
I like narrow-minded people only.
- Yeah.
Thin little alleyway of thinking.
- I've never really had an agent before,
but I do seriously want to get on TV.
- When's your birthday?
- All right.
So Mae has a meeting with an agent
who is both an icon and an absolute nightmare.
- Icon and nightmare, hm.
- See, what I love about you
is you're very now.
You're an addict, you're anxious, you're trans.
- Am I trans?
'Cause I'm kind of on the fence-
- You look like something out of Deep Space Nine-
(Trixie laughs)
- Wow.
- Us being interviewed by Netflix for this show.
- Totally.
You don't look human and you don't really look alive.
- Do you think that happens a lot?
- Yes. Yeah.
The identity kind of, yeah.
- Where your like, if kind of butch presenting
they're like, "You're trans!"
And I'm like, "Well maybe I'm not."
- You're a boy.
- If I had hair like that
I could wear a little hoodie like this and look great.
Would I wear a hoodie like this?
No, I look like I'm at a hospital.
(Katya laughs)
- Wait, why do you look like you're at a hospital?
- Me having no hair and then masks happening?
I look like I am walking around with an IV drip.
- [Katya] Yeah.
- All the time.
- But don't you love the sympathy?
I leaned into it.
They say, "Are you okay?"
And I say, "No, can I have $15?"
(both laugh)
- The porn I've been wanking to recently.
- George tries to talk about kinky sex with Elliot
but he thinks it's problematic.
- Wow.
- Let me say this ladies.
If a guy won't choke you, choke him.
- And the nuns are routinely punished
by the lecherous archbishop.
And I mean like, punished in the ass.
Like it's wild.
- Now we're talking.
- Where did you learn to normalize
that type of aggressive language?
(Katya and woman gasp)
It just seems like what you're into
is rooted in problematic power dynamic.
- Oh brother.
(Katya laughs)
Your going to psychoanalyze me?
- Oh my God.
- Come on.
- Are you telling me that you're too progressive
to finger me?
- Okay, you have got a lot of unlearning to do.
- I would (beep)ing storm out here.
I would go, "If you're not gonna tear my (beep) in half-
(Katya laughs)
I have no reason to be here."
At the end of our sex, I want to cum too.
After you (beep)ed me,
I want to be on the floor
with a chalk outline around me.
- Here's a collection of essays on feminist sexuality.
- A textbook.
(Trixie screams)
- I don't like it, I don't like it at all.
(Trixie yells)
- I ain't trying to learn (beep).
- And war crimes.
- Elliot, I just wanted to watch a bishop
smack a nun on the pussy with a Bible, okay?
- She's like, "You know what, Elliot,
my ex-girlfriend who may or may not still be in rehab
used to beat the (beep) out of me, and I loved it."
(Katya laughs)
Get on my level.
- Get on my level and smack this puss.
- You tell me
that you're never going to tell your friends about me.
- Okay, so, George has a willing partner in Mae
who's really into all of this crazy sex stuff.
Thank God.
- I'm never going to tell anyone about this ever.
- She's fingering, she's fingering and then she goes,
"Found 'em." And it's keys.
And she goes-
(Trixie imitates car beeping)
And they get in the Audi.
George and Mae are doing a lot of role playing.
- Hi. I'd like to return these shoes I bought last week.
- Not without a receipt.
(Katya laughs)
- You know I'm a vampire, which means I'm immortal.
And you're just like a normal human girl.
- I know that you are 400 years old and I'm in high school.
(chairs groan)
- Goodbye.
- I will be leaving set at this time.
- Well, it's over.
(Trixie screams)
- People are so funny.
You know what?
I like it, I like the theater of it.
- [Katya] Mm, yeah.
- They're like doing their own little drag show.
It's just funny to watch it on TV.
- Yeah.
I feel good.
- You like role-playing?
- Yeah, absolutely.
But I commit though, I commit.
And if they kind of break it, it's all-
Daniel Day Blew-is.
- Daniel Day Blew-is of erotic role-play.
- One time I was with a guy
who pretended to love me for a few years.
- Oh my God.
(Katya laughs)
- And that was fun.
I don't really do much role-playing
because in any scenario, me, Trixie Mattel,
pretending to be someone else, downgrade.
- Sure, sure.
- If I'm trying to heighten the sexuality,
I know exactly who needs to show up.
And it's me.
- Which hormone brings on contractions during labor?
- Is it spunk?
- So, George and Mae are going to dinner
with George's friends.
- So Mae, I saw your comedy set online.
Wanting to be a boy is actually really funny.
- Yeah, I'm glad you found my pain hilarious.
- I think you're homophobic.
(Trixie gasps)
- That's really intense.
- Some people who have drinking problems,
they drink and they get mad and aggressive.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Which is more perplexing 'cause it's like,
why do you drink if it makes you so volatile?
- A lot of people, they can't sort of like resolve anything,
attack anything.
You know what I mean?
- Unless they're a little drunk?
- Yeah.
- Oh. So it's like an outlet to be drunk and say this (bleep.)
- Yes, yes.
- Oh.
- And like, sometimes they got to make up for lost time.
- This show, "Feel Good," has taught me something.
- That's why I'm asking-
- Mae please, can you get up?
Get up. Get up, please get up.
- The absolute honor.
- [Trixie] Oh my God.
- Of actually marrying me.
We could live inside of a strawberry in a beautiful meadow.
- Oh God.
(Katya retches)
Oh God.
Oh crap.
Oh God.
Oh crap.
- What's my middle name?
(Trixie gasps)
- I obviously know what your middle name is.
- Oh, mama.
- The way I almost flipped this table.
It's a little consistent.
The world sucks,
but do you want to be in love and live in a strawberry?
- I'm horrible, this is terrible.
Do you want to come live in my shoe?
(Trixie laughs)
What the (beep), Mary?
- You got to put the mask on yourself in relationships
before you put the mask on others.
- Thank you, thank you.
- She's just not marry-able right now.
The sex must be really good.
Hitachi Magic Wand shoved straight up the ass.
- Microwave in the (beep).
- Micro-dermabrasion on the (beep).
- Work out what I'm going to do about Mae?
- Mae.
- So Elliot is trying to comfort George.
Listen to the poly bisexual.
- Yeah
- I don't get what you see in her.
She's problematic.
Like, what about me?
- You already have like six boyfriends and girlfriends.
- Yeah, well I want one more.
- Wow.
- George.
- Me going through a slut phase.
- Yeah. (Katya laughs)
- Me, when I'm on my third hookup of the day.
What's one more?
I broke the seal.
I already probably caught something.
- Yeah.
- Of course I need to do something.
- Finally we have Mae doing what the white people on Twitter
call "Doing the work."
- Doing the work.
- And she is going to go confront some of her trauma.
- She's addressing the situation.
- Well, howdy cowboys.
Welcome to the ranch.
(both laugh)
- I hope what happens is what I hope it happens.
I hope her friends go, "Uh, your upbringing,
your family was great." - Yeah.
- Get real.
- Your mother's spirits, your father's great.
You're an ungrateful piece of (beep).
- No, Phillip, Phillip, it cannot be your fault.
- So we're at dinner,
and Phil's talking about how nice it is
to be around a family, 'cause his dad died
- And my stepdad moved in.
You know everything about him annoyed me.
One day, when I was like 14,
told my mom that I saw him with another woman.
(Trixie gasps)
I was like, "Mom, I swear I saw him kissing her tits."
(lips smack)
- I saw him kissing her tits.
You know how it is.
- He was kissing up on her tits.
- Yeah, kissing the titties.
- Kissing 'em.
(lips smack)
- That was it.
Never saw him again.
- Thank you, Phillip.
It sounds like it absolutely was your fault.
(both laugh)
- I love that.
She cracks my (beep) up.
- She's fantastic.
- Lisa Kudrow, we love you.
- Have you got any childhood double-ended dildos
laying around?
- Oh my God.
- Yeah? (Katya laughs)
- We could think of something with that oboe I think.
- Mae and George are fooling around
until the mom enters and sets some ground rules
on the (beep).
- I don't want to see that.
- One finger only ladies.
- Knock knock.
(both laugh)
- Is that it's actually different to the Senate.
- What a sad charade.
- Charade.
- Is at about a negative 84%.
So physical proximity is mandatory.
See you in 20.
- Work detail.
(Katya laughs)
- I love when people are like,
"Oh, my mom is on my back.
She was just like, cares about me and wants me to do well."
- Yeah.
- I'm like, "Was that hard?"
- Yeah.
- "Was that hard for you?"
- "Being cared for and attended to constantly?"
- "Mm, both parents, that's tough."
- This is a fucking conversation
that I want to have with my friend.
- Mae's finally gonna tell Scott what's up.
- I fell in love with you.
- And how did I feel about that?
That's why it hurts, 'cause I trusted you.
- Love it.
I love it.
- Do you?
- Yes!
This is the point of a subscription service,
is to have like, unfiltered dramatic adult confrontations
like this.
I love it.
- One other woman, a little on the young side, but-
- There's a word for women on the young side,
it's "children."
- Under age women.
- Can I just say something everyone's afraid to say?
- Say it.
- Stop (beep)ing them kids.
- Stop (beep)ing the kids.
- Stop (beep)ing them kids.
Don't even search for porn with the word "Teen" in it.
- No.
- Quit being weird.
- When you think of me in your head,
do you think of me like a boy or a girl would you say?
- This is interesting.
- Mm hm.
- Mae wonders if George thinks of her as a boy or a girl?
- I don't think of you at all, bitch.
- How do you see you?
- Um, just me really, I think.
- That's non-binary, Mae.
You tell me, and I'll use the right words.
- I'm gay for that.
I am. - Oh, you are? Okay, okay.
- Yes, I am.
- Okay, that's nice, yeah.
- That's the way to do it though
is like you tell me-
- [Katya] Mm hm.
- I will go with whatever you want.
- Okay.
- 'Cause you want them to be comfortable.
- Yeah.
- I look forward to, at some point in the world,
where you look at somebody like Mae,
and your not concerned about it.
- What do you mean?
- You're not wondering.
- Oh, like "What is this person?"
- Yes. Because maybe that person hasn't decided.
So, in a weird way, asking is almost like saying,
"Have you decided?"
- Right.
- "What's your pronoun?" is sort of like saying
"Have you decided on a pronoun?"
Which is maybe also kind of gauche?
- Yeah, don't pin me down.
Don't put me in a box.
- But then again, I call everyone "Girl."
My band, completely heterosexual,
I'm like, "Girl."
- Do you really? - To their face.
- Oh, I love that.
(Trixie laughs)
- And they love it.
- 'Cause straight guys, whatever, you know.
- They don't care.
- But maybe one day-
- Maybe one day we could move somewhere mad, like Spain.
- The series is wrapping here-
- Yeah.
- And we have George and Mae out in the woods
talking about their future.
- I want you.
- Ooh.
- Do you want me?
- Yeah, I do.
- What is photosynthesis?
- Hey, what is photosynthesis?
- When a plant and the sun are fucking.
(Trixie laughs)
- This show features some very important topics.
- [Katya] Mm hm, yeah.
- Such as the repercussions of entering a relationship
with unaddressed trauma.
- Absolutely.
- As well as like the limbo of, I mean,
not knowing, are you man, are you a woman?
Are you gay, are you straight?
Are you- - Yeah.
Unstable mind with a fluid identity
can be rough footing for an adult relationship.
- Yeah.
It's like your past is all messed up
and you also don't really know who you are in the world
because no one looks like you.
She's good at fucking though.
- [Katya] Yeah.
- She's good at sex.
- She doesn't know how plants grow or anything
but she sure can throw them down.
- She knows where the G-spot is.
There's a pregnant person.
There's a poly person, a bisexual.
Trauma.
- Trauma.
- Lisa Kudrow.
- Great haircuts.
You can have trauma, but you still can have great hair.
- Yes.
- And this is wonderful.
Make sure you check out "Feel Good,"
season two on Netflix.
Happy Pride to this show,
which features some very important storytelling
in our community and also to all of you people watching.
You know what I would do?
I would walk around with a Bible
and go, "Have you heard the good news?"
(Katya laughs)
And open it, it says "I'm Gay."
- Yeah.
"Jesus is a Dyke."
(Katya giggles)
(upbeat music)
