Observational Cinematic Compulsion Disorder with Trixie and Katya

The transcript captures a candid, emotionally charged reflection on travel, performance, and personal experience. The speaker criticizes airline practices—like open windows and middle-row seating—calling them uncomfortable and dehumanizing, especially when combined with sensory overload. They deeply question the legitimacy of psychic claims, particularly those made by Sylvia Brown, describing them as fraudulent and emotionally manipulative. A central highlight is their positive experience at Twitch Con, a well-organized live-streaming event where drag performances and technical excellence created a vibrant, community-centered atmosphere. The speaker reflects on the emotional intensity of live events, like concerts, where personal boundaries dissolve and deep connection is formed—most notably during a B-52s concert where an older person’s joy in music becomes a powerful, time-traveling experience. Memories of trauma, such as a traumatic moment at the Javits Center, underscore how environments can trigger deep emotional responses. Throughout, the speaker emphasizes authenticity, personal boundaries, and the emotional labor behind content creation and performance, contrasting it with commercialized, over-the-top narratives. Ultimately, the conversation celebrates joy, community, and the transformative power of music and shared experience, especially among older generations.

what i've been really into what these sylvia brown tiktoks what what people have been clipping up so much and i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god this is so much fun i'm like oh my god you don't want to okay that's it you don't thank you hi sylvia my name is hasna and i'm uh about 18 years ago my father went on a business trip and never returned the day that uh he was supposed to come he called and never came uh my family searched high and low no results so i just want to know if he's dead or alive no he's alive in florida does that make sense no thank you no but thank you so that makes sense is so cunty does that make sense he's dead does that make sense no oh no she said he's alive oh no i know but like he drowned that's amazing he drowned love that shit she was such a fraud such a fraud crazy fraud i just want to meet my dad you wouldn't you don't want to you don't want to thank you the crying i know that like oh god those on those psychics really socked it to you back in the day love sylvia brown and i did look up like because i went down a rabbit hole of her legitimacy and is there any like legitimized clairvoyance and the best that's been recorded is when someone let's say if they help the police find a dead body they will be wrong three more times yeah it's not a one-to-one ratio it's not real but for me it is he drowned do you think i could i mean it's like it's the conviction with which he gave those like permanent whatever it's like so cunty she was like it was it was just like fraud but i do believe in tapping into the intuitive self yeah but she's literally just lying you think she's like yes totally she's just like talking out of her asshole i would be like the 2025 version of that and be like where is my father he was pew pew'd oh my god he unalived he unalived and was pew pew'd in florida in florida that's fucking hell sylvia was sylvia brown who else was um who's the other one oh the long island medium does she she actually talks to dead folk people do say she is amazing in what way like is she like she has accurate um really i guess what would you call it she throws out lines and that they are received and verified by all its members oh i think it's probably research though don't you think how like googling people in the audience no but i mean like they probably have to fill out a form and then they're facebooked or whatever you know what i mean i mean i understand like you know i've been learning tarot and i do understand that in a lot of ways those type of things are not going to work for me i don't know if that's true but those type of things are a mirror and so they are true because you are when someone says you're going through a change yeah you go i am and the first thing that comes to your mind is what you're really going through yeah yeah so it's not that it's fake yeah but it is more like you kind of already know yeah like what i like about that tarot shit is if someone says oh there's a huge conflict that you just have to squash your brain will tell you what that big conflict is and so you already know it's kind of universal it's kind of universal but you're the one attaching meaning to it like wow i guess my big conflict is that you're going through a change yeah you're the one attaching meaning to it like wow i guess my big conflict is this yeah but you know but that's not that's different than saying like your dead dad said this about this yeah that's kind of crazy that's kind of crazy he drowned yeah he was pew-pewed while drowning do they really say pew-pew oh yeah it's fierce oh my god it's fierce it's fierce i don't like that i don't like that at all they're singing on tiktok everywhere always i asked bob about it i was like do you know about pew-pewed he was like oh yeah pew-pewed no what that is really that's really troubling yeah it's tough so san

production of a live event i think i've ever been a part of really it was like the streamies it was so clean and it was on the drag queens all had large private dressing rooms you're kidding good snacks great air conditioning damn they got rehearsals to make sure all their music levels were right like it was run so smoothly all right twitch con twitch con really ate with the and they told me

yeah and we're watching the tv and I go oh my god I go there's a girl on drag race who did that and she goes yeah that's her I go oh good perfect isn't that so Mary it's it's so it's so embarrassing it's embarrassing so it's gotten to the point where I don't I'm afraid to say hi to drag queens because I'm afraid that I've met them I'm afraid they were on drag race yeah exactly winners in drag race that way not I don't care about looking at it as much as I care about hurting hurting feelings yeah yeah it's so awkward dear this incredible streamer that I love most gorgeous one of the most beautiful drag makeups I've ever seen in real life in my whole life dear d-e-r-e d-e-r-e her makeup is so cool and graphic we can if you guys are watching we put a screenshot of her she's been on my youtube channel she's um but I just have to show you she eats it up she really eats it up for the girls ediana oh yeah she's good what are those lips what's going on with those lips she draws the oh it's like oh it's like the the shiny part she draws the gloss on that's fierce oh that's actually fierce and in person it reads I always thought like it reads like wet like that's fierce and on camera if you're a professional streamer you mostly drag from your own lighting oh right you can really go for it yeah in person I was like you look more amazing fierce drag trashly is a big streamer who was there um I mean it's it was a live streamable show pharaoh was at twitch wait how is she she streams like full time now she is so gorgeous I know it's like oh I didn't get to see her that weekend I knew she was there fair I love fair so much she's so funny she was on all the ads she blows anybody out of the funny so pussy pussy pussy it was like y2k so she was in kind of her black and blonde christina galera with like knots in her hair y2k vibes fierce eating eating I just had so much fun at twitch con it made me remember how much I loved streaming I loved live streaming no what is like when you do you like not I don't get it like do you make money from that um when I did I did it mostly for charity like what like what is it like so if you're a streamer yeah let's say you caught you wanted to start a twitch yeah yeah yeah let's say every night you're like oh my god I'm gonna from 6 to 8 p.m you do a live show okay where you dj play video game you cooking class yeah you whatever you want to do for a live television basically okay it's live television but it's from your house like youtube okay so some people make it about video gaming some people make it about crafting yoga okay djs okay um but I love a lot of the gamers and um I just I love twitch and I loved meeting all the streamers and these people basically one man show produce television channels no shit overlays I've seen your setup it's like it's wild it looks like a whole fucking studio it looks like like an actual like tv studio I think you would like it actually you get to control the lighting yeah you don't have to get in drag from the waist down oh that's talk to your fans directly do whatever content you can do a sewing stream you know what I'm doing I'm gonna do I just talked to mark the other day like I'm doing um uh which one called asmr I love I love I love it so much do you ever listen to asmr no I don't like it you don't like why well there's so many different types there's like a novel you don't like that for me like um 2019 really it just did it hit for like a month and I was like that's funny and yeah what I do like is the situations okay I do like like you're just waking up with your vampire boyfriend okay I do love the situation your second cranial nerve exam or whatever yeah someone's at the mall doing your makeup okay I'm just gonna do your lips the situation is more interesting to me than the sound okay I don't get into big pickle like crunch stuff like that that yeah I don't like mouth sounds are not really my game like what about we thing okay it was really fun to be in San Diego and do church on and I got to work for the sims I work for the sims like all the time you worked for the sims last year yeah yeah love the sims their booth was so cool if you guys are a long time if anybody plays sims the robber that's in the sims in black and white with the mask like creeping in the game who steals from you they had an actor there dressed like him with a mask on and he was like oh my god I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do the little green thing about his head creeping around the booth just trying to steal from people it was so funny and he never talked so he would come up and like look at you and like your phone sitting there he'd be like oh it was so funny I cracked up and also compared to no offense to drag con mama it was nice good air conditioning drag con is so boo-boo and it was low lighting oh fear so everybody looked no overhead fluorescence no it was like the soft glow of my god calm convention and I want to my thought went to for people who love twitch they might love twitch because it's entertainment for people who maybe don't want to go out socially social anxiety autism yeah sensory overload yeah yeah dimmer lights like that I'm like some of these people could actually have fun at a convention instead of feeling overwhelmed I know that always struck me because like at drag drag con it was so overwhelming so like wow so like stressful you know what I mean everybody's like stressed out and I'm like I was always impressed at like the the um I don't know the wokeness or the resilience no the resilience of these people who are like a little bit awkward you know what I mean oh yeah I would like I wouldn't have lasted like 10 minutes as a person like entering it's just like well and for people who are primarily content creators from home I think it's fair to say that they maybe create that kind of content because they feel more comfortable than live performance in front of people in real life yeah and so I do think for a lot of streamers not just the audience but the streamer themselves might have chosen streaming because that environment can be overloading so I just like that it was a chill vibe I got to walk oh my god Nick and I did comic con like last year wait did you do it you do it in drag yeah but a lot of people don't do it they do it out of their character right isn't that right I mean it like Cassandra Peterson will probably not dress up as a virus that's what I mean yeah yeah yeah but we were at New York and I was like we probably need security it was like when I go in here I tied my hair up I was like a bomb's gonna go off I'm so fucking famous nobody nobody paid you though I'm talking me walking through hordes of people no one batting an eye you're kidding me no one giving straight fuck it was we have video footage so humiliating that so much oh my god with a camera lights no one caring oh my god so then this year getting followed around by a camera and nobody cares no that's so fierce we almost got security this year and our management was like you know um Jinx has a great security team like I could give you their number I said do they have experience with celebrities I think that's kind of fun but wait wait wait did you see the clip oh my god of Jared Leto coming out to at the premiere of um what was it Tron to a theater that was maybe like filled a quarter of the way that's tough why did no one want to see Tron um I don't know um I think it's like flopped big time it's a big time flop but like Mary if that were me I would like in my publicist you know was like bring the car around I'd be like I think we're just gonna skip it yeah yeah gas I get a little gas sometimes no that is like merit so that's that's that's but it's one or the other because sometimes in the environments I find myself in a situation where I mean no tea there have been security incidents at these conventions yeah and will continue to happen yeah so sometimes it's like you don't want to have by security sometimes what I mean is can someone grab my hand and briskly walk me where I'm going because I don't know where I'm going yes right if I look lost it's better to have someone just with a flashlight confidently saying here's how to get to where you're going yeah I don't need someone to push people I need a navigator well you know I had people I had um I was carried at DragCon UK carried out yeah like they if I had to go like have a cigarette or go to the bathroom they they pick me up and carry me and run it was great so it was like who's they um the security Dawson he could do it no the amazing security at DragCon UK they were like I'm gonna go to DragCon UK I'm gonna go to DragCon UK I'm gonna go to DragCon UK they were so hot and so nice and so wonderful and I think was I injured no no there was a rumor that I was injured because I wasn't walking I had fun at DragCon UK it was yeah it was great I think it was I just I don't I had fun at DragCon I remember it was nice it was like the lighting is always hell Mary and LA Convention Center was hell I'm saying it whatever the Javits Center the Javits Center we need to talk about Javits Javits Center we need to talk about Javits Center we need to start we need to talk about Javits because this is I have full body chills right now because I I this is a core memory at this point core

she's using the she was the microphone running through the parking lot for so long i just shoved the nuke up my pussy oh my god it's like oh it's so fun it's so good i think i'm just gonna make like a super cut and just watch that instead of tv i think you should yeah i think that's valid thank you you know honestly it's miss javits oh let's go back to javits well i remember one year you and i were promoting trixie and cut down viceland remember they put all this money into the advertising there were big plaques of us around that was nice yes oh yeah it was i had a blast doing that the press for trixie and our show that was fun nick was javits center comic-con see i had a fine time at the comic-con so maybe it's the drag but also we're so famous at drag con yeah just getting to the bathroom at drag con is an issue you know it is so interesting like i isn't it done now okay so we can speak all the day yeah i mean listen i will i'll never forget the first drag con because we were right next to each other we shared a booth that we were at the first drag con that's a first drag con and it was it was crazy and i remember running on fumes never went to the bathroom nine hour meet and greet nine hour meet and greet no bathroom no food no water when i got back to the hotel my body just collapsed like i've never felt worse in my whole life but because it was all like adrenaline and like fun and i was like because it was amazing yeah and then but no i mean it was literally all that wore off within like three minutes and then i was like oh fuck and i became a husk of a person it was so interesting and every time i did drag con in new york i would say like the yotel so i'm staying in a room that's like an oven like like a tiny oven it's tiny all new york hotels suck shit yeah that's not true you gotta get you a room at the mandarin whoa that's a five-star hotel yeah it is like twelve hundred dollars a night or something yeah yeah what was it what was the year that you wore a 45 pound wig and almost had an aneurysm that was la that was la was that the second one you know i don't mean to speak ill of drag con it's just conventions in general are just hard when your job is meeting and greeting yeah honestly and when we're younger this is the issue too we're blaming other people we should have personal boundaries but i'm gonna go do two hours and go home that's what that's what i did the personal obligation that i put on myself to meet and greet for six hours a day yeah i would meet and greet from like 12 to 6 yeah why am i doing that i think i think we ended up pre-selling them i'm not trying i'm not trying to brag by the way we didn't sell them i did i just always did you have to have a merchant buy merchandise okay maybe we didn't sell them no because some girls started doing vip you could pay more to be in the front oh yeah people didn't like oh yeah a lot and there was a lot of um there was a lot of politics commotion about like so and so is charging this so and then people were like well i'm charging nothing and they would like promote that as if they were mother theresa and you know what i mean it was very also like okay both people in your line are gonna love that that sounds horrible no i don't mean it that way but like but i never charge i only charge for you had to buy something yeah because they charge us to be there we're paying oh yeah by the way they fully square footage a dragon are you out of your mind it's more than new york real estate javits center was like by the pound crazy charged by the pound of what that's why oh my god every time i dream of god one of my sets as if i had a set i think somebody wrote a crayon catch it and pinned it to a pole but i remember when you're seeing jinx just have a she just had a ring light a curtain and i was almost like yeah yeah they're here for you yeah that's all they're here for this is why are we making a con what are we doing yeah it's not set design i was like this is a convention go sit at the card table for 20 minutes i know we all got whipped up into some kind of like you were gonna get a hospital bed i was gonna shout out a cannon i don't know what the fuck we were doing and no one made us do this so what was that we're complaining about drag i really couldn't all the shit about it was our fault i know i know the hospital that would have been great i would have been great like or i would have been the the dad from strangers of candy or contagion contagion yeah oh my god body doubles body doubles of course of them i mean you could have had six tricksy if i had that if i knew what i knew now the new tricksy the new improved tricksy oh my god run her into the ground do you know people still don't seem to know that i was that she was on houses she was on salt lake city housewives and i wasn't wait what i was busy and they went to my bar in milwaukee rest in peace and i was like well i'm not around just get the other tricksy and just don't put a body

nicholas cage she came on your grinder pod she is she nice she was she's a big fag right i was so scared she was a doll oh why were you scared because she was like i don't know well a because i'm not super familiar with the housewives i i know i wasn't like incredibly familiar with her career right and i thought there was a good chance that she'd be a cunt i don't know and also it was a little strange like hey you're not a man you're a woman who's been married to the same guy for like 30 years harry hamlin yeah very sexy and she's like i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know you

like i've never used this car service before like i can't believe they no call she rebooks me thank god and she's like all right you're gonna have to fly through turkey and by the way it was seven thousand extra dollars work um said but i'm not gonna miss the gig that's like seven grand seven grand to istanbul So, I thought of this because of the Yotel. I had to stay overnight at the Yotel Istanbul. What is a fucking Yotel? It's like a modular hotel. What is the Yotel? Tiny room. Where does the Yotel come from? Yo, like yo, Yotel, you know, it's your hotel. Your hotel, got it. I don't know, I made that up. But I flew Turkish Airlines. Do you know what it's like to fly first class as a bald white man? Bald, oh my God. Everybody clocks your T. The flight attendant was like, everything's going to change. Your life's about to change forever. Yeah, they gave me like a bouquet of flowers. Oh my God. You should have come back with the only piece on. Me getting off the plane, it was like, we welcome you to Munchkinland. No, why haven't they like outsourced that shit? Why is Turkey the destination to get the only, it seems to be the only destination to get hair. My other issue with Turkish Airlines is, whatever, shoot me in the eye, bitch. I flew first class. Shoot me in the eye. As if people are going to expect for you to ride in the back of the cabin. There is a. Middle row in first class on this Turkish airline. Mama, that's no, that's no first class. I'm in the middle. Middle row. Middle row. American Horror Story, middle row. And I was so depression because I had to pay 7,000 extra dollars. To be in the middle row? No, just to get another flight. Oh, oh, oh. Because I'm not going to miss the gig. Now, why do they make you pay 7,000? Well, who knows? I don't know. They cast some runes, look at some bones, and then that's the price. The thing is, the airlines, you got somewhere to go and they know it. They got you. They have your balls in a vice grip. Right. Pussy with a clamp. And I'm feeling emotional. And so I'm, the woman next to me, not, not the person on the other side, because there is two, is watching The Notebook.
