Drag Queens Trixie Mattel & Katya React to Bling Empire | I Like to Watch | Netflix

Subtitles section Play video

I know a lot of rich people who, you know,
rich for generations, whatever.
And since I made my own money, they do find that impressive.
Yeah, yeah yeah.
Like a magic trick.
Well, doing like a back handspring
on a balance beam is impressive, too.
Every time I'm with rich people,
I feel like Leonardo DiCaprio on the Titanic.
That's what I feel like.
That's what I smell like.
Mm-hmm.
Hi, it's me, Trixie Mattel.
And I'm Katya.
And we are two queens who like to watch.
Today we have the distinct pleasure
of watching Bling Empire, a new Netflix original
that follows the lives of some crazy rich Asians
as they navigate billionaire stuff in Los Angeles.
Can I say that I think the word "bling" is gauche?
Yeah, it's tacky.
Kind of like...
Like...
Spoiler alert, they're all rich, and they're all crazy.
And they're all Asian, yeah.
I heard this show is sort of a marriage
of the magic of Crazy Rich Asians,
meets the drama of Selling Sunset.
So, I would like to see it.
Back in Philadelphia,
I was one of the only Asian people growing up.
- I was always the first-- - Ooh, Kevin,
with a face like that, your hardships?
They're not real.
They haven't existed, and I don't believe it.
I'm having a hard time tapping into the sympathy,
but you never know, let's see.
Kevin's a model.
Super good-looking.
I'll get you some stuff.
Wait, hold the phone.
We need to examine the anatomy of that face.
- The cheeks. - The cheeks!
He just keep rolls of quarters in there, or what?
Listen, I'm fine with it.
We are no stranger, our whole friend group
is held together by paperclips.
Modulated.
So we're fine with it, but I'm just saying,
we have to acknowledge it.
That's why we call it Mandarin.
- What is this? - Look at that, come on.
I look like I'm a Chinese--
[Trixie] Look at that shoe wall.
[Katya] That looks like the clearance section at DSW.
If I was that rich, I'd have a closet that's very deep,
and then people lay in them.
Hold them.
- Hold them. - Hold them.
Lot of muscular endurance.
[Trixie] Kevin is beautiful.
[Katya] Yeah, he's really hot.
My husband, Dr. Chiu, he is 24th generation,
direct descent of the Song dynasty.
[Trixie] What?
If dynasties were still in existence,
my husband's father would be an emperor.
[Katya] He's got that good old blood.
I would want bigger, I want more power.
I'm like, "This is my husband Chang Su.
He's the emperor of the underworld,
and every 100 years, there's a mortal combat,
and he steals souls."
You're going all Chanel tonight, huh?
[Trixie] What about people who have jewelry
laid out in those dramatic boxes?
You're just asking to be robbed, I feel like.
Mine is literally, it is in a trash bag
and they're all clumped together and tangled.
No earring has a back to it.
I moved to Los Angeles to chase a boy.
[Katya] Just young, and hot, and wet.
"You guys are gonna be showering?
Okay, we'll be right over.
We're gonna film you guys kissing in the shower."
Meanwhile, for drag, the story people are like,
"Please don't tell us to come in until you are fully clothed."
- Yeah. - “Please.”
"Can you give us some advance warning?
The camera guy's throwing up."
“We can't afford two lunches today.”
- Bleh. - Yeah.
Trust has always been an issue.
Am I the baby?
Yeah, you're the baby.
[Trixie] If I'm in a relationship
and you tell me I'm the baby?
[Katya] You better get ready
for that diaper to be (beep) in.
(Beep) down the legs.
I want a rattle, I want a nookie, I want lah lah lah.
I'm up all night.
All night.
I'm teething, yeah.
My ex-husband was arrested, and he was running
one of the largest cyber scams--
[Katya] Cyber scammer.
Nothing hot and cool and lucrative ever happens to me.
I'm lucky if I go to Beaches in West Hollywood
and they let me cut the line.
[Katya] Yeah.
I only want to date for love now.
- Is that even possible? - “Date for love.”
Grow up, (beep).
“Katya has entered the chat.”
She's either bored, or won't accept
that there's not a door where a door needs to be,
so she's just knocking that wall down.
I truly relate.
Anyone's family that makes like weapons and tanks,
you don't wanna mess with them.
Her dad owned an arms company, which is very lucrative
because hey, everyone has 'em.
Right.
[Trixie] By the way, she needs to work on her upper body.
How many swings to get through drywall, Mary?
[Katya] She's all passion, no technique.
I mean, they're strong women,
but they don't seem like strong women.
I'm surprised she knew which end to use.
Do you like shows showing the lives
of extremely rich people?
I don't, because I think that I judge the kind of person
who would willingly and enthusiastically
want that kind of wealth.
And ultimately, you see people who are this rich,
and it is often a reminder that like,
money doesn't glue much back together.
In fact, usually these shows are successful
because these rich people's lives are in total shambles.
- Deep fractures. - Yeah.
- But we're not here to read. - No!
We're just observing,
because we are highly adjusted people.
Very well adjusted, highly functioning,
totally mentally healthy.
Never had a problem.
We've never had any hardships, no.
Me and Drew fight here and there,
but that's every couple, right?
[Katya] Rich people, they're just like us.
It's just so disalarming for me--
- It's disalarming. - Disalarming, yeah.
Oh no, not a photo shoot.
Well, this is moments before that chopper
just decapitated him.
Would you ever do like a lifestyle photo shoot like this?
Yeah, as a joke.
I don't even like taking pictures out of drag.
No, I never do.
If I didn't do drag, people would be like,
- "No one knows how to reach him." - Yeah.
"Also, no one knows what he looks like."
Yeah.
"No one's seen him."
- "No one even knows him." - Yeah.
You guys like it?
Wow, Kim.
Give me some arch.
[Trixie] I would look like
a Ninja (beep) Turtle in that outfit.
They need to really up the stakes, you know?
Smoke bombs, animals, you know what I mean?
She gets her whole family and friends to take a picture,
and she goes, "Are you guys ready?"
And then the chopper goes by, and she reaches up,
grabs the ladder, and just (beep)ing flies away
and they're like, "This is your phone!"
And you learn later on that she's been training
with Navy SEALs for the past six months in order to do that.
I love the relationship I have with my mom.
Show your skin.
"Show us your clam!"
Stand, like...
Like how, you show me then!
She is glam.
This does have some Kris Jenner and Kim vibes right now.
Totally.
The mom's gonna get totally naked and be like.
The mom's gonna be like,
"I want you to do it more like this."
[Katya] Yeah.
"Take it out and tweak it.
And cheat out."
- "And tweak it." - "Really get that nipple hard."
- [Trixie] "I want you to penetrate skin
with your fingernail."
All right, so these folks are going to Las Vegas,
and they're talking about what would happen
if they were potentially cut off from their families.
That looks so cute with your--
[Trixie] I love that yellow jacket!
- That's cute. - Really cute!
I love it.
This much wealth, and just shopping?
Like haven't you exhausted all those resources?
Also, shopping isn't as thrilling as stealing.
Stealing, or like hunting human beings for sport.
Yeah, doing a quick stabbing.
Meet me halfway here.
You're 21 now.
Does your dad want you to work?
Because my dad's being super tough on me right now.
[Trixie] She's ready to go
full barbershop quartet with that hat.
♪ Bah dah dah doom, bah dah dah ♪
Yep.
♪ I was sailing along ♪
♪ On Moonlight Bay ♪
Yeah, she looks like the Babadook.
How was your dad like, growing up, Christine?
Yeah, I've never heard you mention your parents.
It's a really long story, but I was basically cut off.
[Trixie] Come on!
You're gonna wear that hat
and then hold back on the personal details?
"It's just really personal, I can't talk about it.
However, I will do this reality show
where I flaunt my wealth."
I know, she's like, "I can't get into this right now.
I have to do my colonial reenactment, goodbye."
- Cheers to daddy issues! - Cheers to issues.
What would happen to people like this
if they did get cut off?
Would they know how to cook a box of macaroni and cheese,
or like--
No, I feel like they'd die of dehydration at home
or something, you know what I mean?
'Cause there's no servant there to mist them
like a house plant, and they don't know
how to drink water anymore,
and they're just like...
Today is Baby G's first birthday party.
I guess you could celebrate baby's birthdays
like, "Ah, he's one.
- I only got 17 more years!" - Right.
[Trixie] We're counting 'em down, folks.
Virtual reality, a Gucci claw machine.
Never had my face plastered on something like that.
[Katya] He'll probably have a heroin problem
by five years old.
The great thing about this kid is,
he's gonna be able to go to school,
and make friends very easily
because his life is just like everyone else's.
He's gonna be able to relate
to so many people in so many ways.
This is serious to them,
and that's why it's fun to make fun of.
Think of the scale, the scope
that these people could have in terms of problems.
They could be arguing over who's gonna save Flint, Michigan.
Yeah, totally.
"I want it to be me."
"I want it to be me!"
Do you care more about being rich or famous?
Rich, absolutely.
What about you?
Famous, 100%.
But with legs like mine, how long could I stay not famous?
I was listening to an interview with Leah Remini
and they asked her that question,
and she was like, "Famous, because when you walk into a room
and you're rich, no one cares.
When you walk into a room and you're famous,
the look on people's faces is priceless."
Yeah, but--
When I walk into DragCon and an 11 year old
with a nosebleed starts screaming, it's all worth it.
People think being a model is easy, it is not.
[Trixie] Nope, it's easy.
This is the newest thing, is a mouth massage.
A lot of people
will have tension over here, especially--
[Katya] This is fantastic!
[Trixie] At least when you and I
break into a fancy rich party, we now have a cover.
[Katya] Yeah.
Bring a couple rubber gloves
and be like, "Uh, we're doing massages."
[Katya] Get the whole fist in that guy's mouth.
How about we do a cleanse for your house,
like a spiritual cleanse?
[Katya] Okay, I've been waiting for this.
[Trixie] Are you making a cameo?
Are you gonna be a medium?
Does she know we're going up here?
I think we're being rude.
No, it's okay.
- She doesn't care. - Investigating her home.
- My curiosity-- - What is he wearing?
He looks like a WWF character.
Is that Xena or Adam Lambert?
She has a penis pump!
What?
She has a penis pump in her shower!
Girl, if I was at your house and you had a penis pump
and the cameras were there, I would've had your back.
I would've been like, "A plumbing apparatus?
- Nothing to see here." - Thank you.
What the (beep)?
If they bring it downstairs at the party.
- Throw it outside. - Why is it wet?
Throw it outside, that shit's disgusting.
They threw it out the window.
They threw it out the window?
That's a penis pump.
They threw it out the window.
This is not a--
[Trixie] What the (beep)?
I would find it intrusive
if you took the trash out at my house.
Anna's nice to people, but if you cross her line,
she's gonna cut you, bitch.
That (beep) was rude!
It's rude to be in there,
it's rude to show it to the cameras,
it's rude to throw it out the window.
You're a dumb (beep).
Don't come over to my house and throw my penis pump
out the window while I'm getting my innards massaged.
At least let me lay down on the lawn,
so that when it falls out the window
it has somewhere to land.
He's the one that went into your bathroom, and all that.
[Trixie] Now she's throwing her gay under the bus?
[Katya] Are these people insane?
So Andrew and Kelly are going
to the relationship therapist
to possibly call it quits, we don't know.
Where would you like to start?
[Trixie] That's Dolly Parton as the therapist.
You are replaying a childhood.
Mom and Dad were not there for you.
Girl, straight people are jacked.
They are so weird.
Jacked!
I'm so happy not to be straight.
We love each other so much, but it's not healthy.
It's so toxic.
[Trixie] Break up!
Break the (beep) up, (beep).
Like, what the (beep) is wrong with you?
Does his (beep) shoot Lipton iced tea or something?
Half lemonade, half iced tea.
Arnold Palmer (beep) shooting.
Arnold, unless your (beep) shoots Arnold Palmer,
I don't wanna hear it.
[Katya] You're young, and rich, and gorgeous.
You can have anybody you want, bye!
Okay, so now we're gonna get into the middle
of Christine and Anna Shay's season-long beef.
Show the beef, sis.
Show the receipts.
Show the beef.
Do you recognize this?
- I have that same. - You have the same one?
- Yes! - Oh my god!
"Actually I have that, and I have that jewelry."
"I have two of 'em."
See this rivalry, Christine is like,
"Oh I have this necklace and Anna Shay has it,
so I'm gonna wear it."
Drag queens can't even do that,
because we all have the same 12 body suits.
I know!
- And the same four pairs of earrings. - The same pairs of Gel Fantasy Nails,
- and the same Pleaser shoes, yes. - Yeah.
If she's trying to make a point with the necklace,
then I can't be bothered to be around Christine.
Anna Shay is eliminating these hoes one by one.
“(Beep) you, you (beep)ed with my necklace.
(Beep) you, you touched my penis pump.
You're cool.”
Okay, so Christine...
[Trixie] Please move the nameplate.
- This one goes on the end. - Yes!
She sits her on the floor.
You like dinner parties like that?
Have you ever been to a really fancy dinner party?
Yes, I was at Lisa Vanderpump's and I was like, "Um, okay."
Sun setting over the hill, complete outdoor tea service
with two real ponies sitting over there,
like beautiful, beautiful.
Did you have a salad fork and all that stuff?
I was with Iggy Azalea and she was like,
"I don't even know what fork to use."
I said, "You shouldn't even be eating."
"No, no thank you, I'm not eating today."
That's the ultimate fancy dinner party move.
I like to not eat and go, "I'm not hungry!"
"Did you hear, I said I'm not hungry, so."
Trying to make the point with the necklace,
what she did was wrong.
I think so, too. I think so, too.
"I hope she likes the necklace,
'cause she's gonna be buried in it."
I know Christine wants a fight,
but I'm not going there.
"I've taken too many Xanax to fully fight right now."
"I'm not goin' there right now, hon."
Cartier gifts were doled out.
- Rolex. - Oh, Rolex gifts.
[Katya] "You old (beep)."
Anna's just like, "Yeah, they were Rolexes."
If she wants to play
a little chess game, so be it.
[Katya] Okay, well let's catch up with the gals
at a Botox and leather party.
Thank you everyone for coming tonight.
[Trixie] Oh my god, the pink latex, work.
And I know that in the crowd,
we have some anally enthusiastic folk, Anna.
What?
"I know we got some folks
who like to get (beep)ed in the butt, Anna."
"Anna."
[Katya] "You like to get (beep)ed in your butt,
your old, fat butt, (beep)?"
I love that Christine's like, "Fine,
if we're gonna do this subtle, let's play chess.
Anyway, did everybody know
that Anna likes to get it in the (beep)?"
Yeah, great chess game.
She's playing skee-ball.
[Trixie] What a (beep)ing idiot.
Kim told me that she found
a penis pump, and an anal book--
[Katya] An anal book?
What, okay, stop!
As a New York Times bestselling author--
Anal book?
I have to say to another New York Times
bestselling author, what the (beep) is an anal book?
What's an anal book?
How many words can be printed about doing anal?
I mean, probably a lot.
What are your tips?
I mean, you have a couple.
"You do anal, you fat (beep)?
You old, old whore?"
"As an old fat (beep), how did you blow out your anus?"
"Dragging your (bleep)
like a (beep)ing sewer grate on the ground."
- I love it. - My god.
Christine and her husband
are trying to go have another baby.
Baby G was a miracle,
but they still want a lot more after that.
There's a lot more letters to be had.
And Christine is very opposed to it,
because she doesn't wanna
have a blown out (beep) like Anna Shay.
And I was gonna have Andrea the embryologist
show you the embryo.
I'm kind of nervous.
Imagine trying to do this,
and then having those creatures
clawing in the little window like a prison--
- staring at you. - I know, please get those
Skeksis out of the lab.
Also, are we for real stopping by
to take a look at frozen organisms?
- Girl, shut up. - That's not a baby.
- That's not a baby. - Shut up.
I could (beep) on the floor and show you
something more interesting
than that (beep)ing frozen toothpick.
Oh my god!
Oh no!
Oh I hate this, oh I hate that, oh I hate that.
Oh no.
- This is Baby G's first modeling shoot. - No.
What are you thinking about
when you're looking into the camera?
Something very sexual, normally.
- Sexual? - Think about sex, Baby G.
I wonder about the awareness.
Do they know that like, when people watch me say this
and do these things, they're gonna be like--
Yeah, that this might be the dumbest, vapid,
self-centered person alive.
[Trixie] In pictures, she does look like Jigsaw.
We don't need to make extra rooms for the in-laws,
but well, we can always go ahead
and make an extra room for another child.
Straight men are obsessed with having children.
I know, it's a biological imperative, whatever.
Unless you're like, LeBron James,
you don't need to procreate, you really don't.
I mean, I don't think anybody should be having children.
I think it's a wrap on planet earth.
Let's just call it quits.
Yeah.
Every single time they've had any communication with me,
it's, "Why aren't you pregnant?"
I mean, I don't wanna say this,
but the truth is, it wasn't my health issue.
It was Gabe's.
It was the husband!
That is crazy, and look at him looking at her
like, "Why don't you want a baby?"
[Katya] That piece of (beep)!
She should say, "(Beep), your (beep) is broke!"
Also, (beep) these in-laws.
- Girl. - Mary, (beep) these in-laws.
(Beep) these in-laws, and frankly, (beep) this husband.
(Beep) the husband, (beep) the in-laws, (beep) the whole family.
This is truly a documentary series
about how money unhinges you
from the swinging door of reality.
Yeah, totally.
I love it, this show has everything!
Wigs, baby drama.
Baby drama, baby photo shoot,
fertility scandals.
- A lot of shopping. - Lot of shopping.
