Trixie's Australian accent is getting really good
That's Courtney Act, not Trixie
@@spookayitsmeI think… I think that’s the joke
@@lindseygueye6078🙊
@@spookayitsmeOr naur... 😅
Aur naur, cleorr
Trixie has never looked better
She got that Turkish rug
BE NICE! Lmao
🤣😂🤣
omg nooooo
It's a big moment for Trixie. But it's allso a huge moment for Katya
Courtney tracing the convo back so perfectly is the antithesis to Trixie and Katya conversations and felt so world altering 😆
Where’s the movie reviews
This was my moment!!!❤
She missed the whole segment on braces tho lmao
I mean she conveniently forgot the hairplugs lol
This is a big day for Courtney, but this is also a big day for Katya.
this is how you type something that means nothing.
@@MAURGASM congrats on your ''being a douche for no reason'' award
i'll survive mama@@ileolai
OOH THERE AIN'T NO OTHER WAY
what if there was another way...
Is the “other way” in the room with us now?
@@crystalmethany6286 she is actually would you like to address the drama
no matter gay straight or bi, lesbian transgender liFE !
EEEouuuuEeeee
I could listen to Katya talking to ANYONE for the rest of my life. God. My appreciation for her is deep and insatiable.
Amen ✨️
Me, too. This was great second to the interview she did with Kelly Mantle. She just has that thing that instantly connects to the person she is talking with so that by the end I’m sad that I’m not friends with them. I mean, I do talk back to the screen when they talk about something poignant but you get it.
Saaaaaammmeeee ❤
In the future I can see her having her own (slightly more serious) interview podcast. I love Trixie but it’s old news at this point that she regularly derails Katya’s brilliance. Trixie is a hilarious and charismatic entertainer. Katya is that plus a deep and dark and very smart soul.
@@guestguest7543nahhh katya had that kind of podcast before i think she got tired of it LOL
I know the girls went though a phase where they didn’t want guests, but to go through this guest drought and to come back with COURTNEY ACT, mamma, there’s only two things I gotta say: DING DONG!
Oooo there aint no other way 😂😂
This was such a wonderful conversation. Courtney is so well spoken and eloquently talks about complex topics like the drag backlash and trans panic with such compassion and care. She’s a great spokesperson because she’s actually been on these news shows with the goal of educating the public with a queer perspective. It was also great to hear Katya speak more in-depth on these issues and finish her thoughts uninterrupted. Just a really great back and forth between these two. I’m looking forward to continuing the rest of the conversation next week!
Also the fact that Courtney can track 5 different conversation treads and revert back to them before moving forward is refreshing. That’s probably a first in the history of this podcast lol
Such a great contrast to Trixie
Not “uninterrupted” 😂
@@heyysophie9928aw Trixie can talk about stuff! She’s just not that into talking to the straights and that’s ok
She can sing good
She can dance good
“Konversations with Katya” needs to be its own pod and im so dead ass.
YESSSSS
PLEASE
Totally agree! Katya could have the most enlightening, intelligent conversations with an array of guests and it would be amazing.
I want to be angry at Courtney for being so beautiful and perfect, but I can’t because she’s so beautiful and perfect. Ya know?
It’s part of my perfection that you don’t hate me for being perfect
@@courtneyact❤
@@MarcosIsABaritoneshall I list some of the ways your don’t conform to societies idea beauty standards, Mary?
@@courtneyactate
@@courtneyact Touché, babe 🌟
Always strikes me how smart these two are, LOVE THAT.
Yes, but it's doing Trixie a disservice to imply, by omission, that she is not also intelligent: for one thing, you don't get to be a successful entrepreneur by being dumb.
@@AnneOnymaus She's not dumb, she's just not as intelligent as Katya or Courtney. And I have to say, it's really nice to see Katya have a conversation with someone who actually gets her jokes and references.
@@kerinwills yeah exactly, it's not an insult to trixie to say that. to add, i love katya and trixie's dynamic but naturally it's different than katya's and courtney's and that's not a bad thing. different doesn't necessarily have to imply that one is better or worse than the other. :)
@@kerinwillsyes, or perhaps trixie's intelligence presents itself differently. katya and courtney are socially aware and therefore can have intellectual conversations regarding that. Trixie's more business minded and that's how her intelligence manifests itself. different types of intelligence 👍
@@thedragonsunicorn You're right, I should have said they're more intellectual instead of intelligent, it's closer to what I meant.
Courtney's explanation of gender is so much more confident and accurate than some of the "experts" trying to speak about gender identity on the news. She's so eloquent.
it‘s funny to see how katya‘s energy is so much more chaotic with trixie. 😅
She has to be! Trixie is a little chaotic in her own way but much louder so Katya has to meet her and at times be louder. And that’s why we have Uhnnnn
I just love that Katya’s copy of DUNE is always hanging out in the background.
Speaking as a German, Courtney‘s description of Berlin is actually 100% spot on lol
Katya is an excellent interviewer and Courtney is so dazzlingly smart, articulate and wise. This conversation deserves to be heard by a lot more people.
Courtney is soooo right! Queer people are here to save the world of these hideous bigoted hateful agendas! ❤
U la
100000% Queer people and queer people standing up for what's right. It's a demonstration of how the patriarchal-societal structure the world runs on is not sustainable and is causing a lot of suffering for many people, directly and indirectly.
Courtney’s ability to trace back every step of the conversation at 10:23 has me in shambles. I could never
Neither can Trixie or Katya because one never listens and the other never remembers 😭
I was so impressed. This is an active 👏 listener 👏
Omg am I just a bad listener???? I thought it was bad memory/ADHD godammit
My favorite part of this podcast is when Katya actually got to finish her sentences.
I have noticed the significant decrease in ads per episode and it makes the experience so much more enjoyable. Y'all have really nailed the formula!
Yes!!! I'm currently rewatching the old ones and they're full of ads i'm SO glad it's changed now
I think it’s because the episodes are shorter now! They used to be about an hour but are now around 40 min so less it’s ads but it’s also less pod lol
@@ellellio well you look back on episodes like 'walking dead hotness' it was 40 minutes and half of it was ad reads. Episodes are technically longer now with less ads because the revenue shifted - the ads are no longer how they make the money, the pod is their most core content that they do it on tour as standup comedy.
@@kirax7293idk about half. But yeah also the more views and followers you build with a new product/platform, the more money you can leverage per ad read and support the pod on less ads overall. So it makes sense that as the podcast moves forward they’d drop unnecessary sponsor partnerships
glad katya brought up climate change knocking at the door. All these wedge issues from the right are making us tread water, fighting for basic respect and rights, when there is something so sinister looming over all of us right now. It's just frustrating, but I have hope for the future, especially with the insane summer of labor action, which will likely pull the US general population sharply left.
Let’s hope not. Our country is in shambles. Just look around
@@brad1038Biden and most democrat reps are not on the left
@janejanejaney Given some Republicans are as far right as is possible, the Democrats are, relatively, left: everyone/everything is.
@@AnneOnymaus unfortunately, until the American political system stops allowing corporations to be in the pockets of politicians, "democrats" aren't on the left. They are corporate centrists. Any support they show for progressive policies are, unfortunately, platitudes - to keep people from realizing just how broken our system and lives are.
@@AnneOnymausno babe, democrats in america are a moderate party and American leftists are generally third party aligned or disengaged from mainstream political action even if they vote. It’s a hellscape
So refreshing having someone who let Katya talk. 🤣
I loved Courtney's comparison of masculinity and femininity with the venn diagram overlap
I can't tell you how relieved I was when Katya said that's just part 1 and there's more coming...at the 42 minute mark I was thinking-they can't end it here, I need more of this great conversation!

Recap by Tammy AI
Thanks for saving my time! amazing tool Tammy AI with useful time stamps! where you download?
I love when Katya talks to a guest host, she’s so good at maintaining a conversation and make it fun and interesting
When Courtney just backtracked their entire conversation with every connection point in a snap…damn, is there ANYTHING she can’t do? Stop being so crazy perfect!
And Katya being shocked that Courtney could do that!! She's so used to doing UNHhh with Trixie where they can't even stay on topic for 13 mins 😂
I love Trixie, but I gotta say: the chemistry between Courtney and Katya is sooooo good! I didn’t expect to love this episode as much as I did! Formidable!
Wow I’ve never heard katy speak a full sentence before. Such a special episode.
THIS will be so FUN! Katya, you're wonderful.
Katya kills it 😊
Katya is SO at ease here, no shade but it’s very refreshing to just hear them talking mostly seriously by the end.
Ms. Act has really came on the pod to EDUCATE the world 😆😆😆
Omg I’m so excited! I love Courtney Act so much and Katya’s such a great interviewer. I can’t wait for this chat between two longtime friends ❤️
The wisdom Courtney holds is incredible.
Obviously I know Trixie was probably busy but I do love that despite being the "lazy" one, Katya is often carrying the podcast for them. I'm just now remembering the time she did an entire podcast episode rambling on by herself when Trixie couldn't do it
May I ask what episode is the pod with Katya alone? 😊
I think it was a Mother’s Day episode
@@Wildandfree339 no there was also another one where she was all by herself, talking about her favourite content creators at the moment and watching Mare Of Easttown or something lol
@@angelinap.3840 Was that the one where she brought notes with topics? It was SO good. Really refreshing.
@@brookeg5979 yep, that's the one. It was so endearing for some reason lol
This is such a good pairing! Love the chaotic energy we get with Trixie, but the serenity and nuance of this is really refreshing. And I love the fact that there's a part two - yes please take your time and take us with you every step of it!
This was amazing. I can't wait for part 2.😍 Btw Courtney mentioned sth about "picking berries with cave women" that I have a fun fact about. It recently has been proven that "men were hunters, women were gatherers" is a total myth and all the evidence says that everyone back in prehistoric times had to both hunt and gather. Also it is said that the best hunters of every tribe were old and experienced women. I've heard that it is not even new to discover evidence of lots of hunter women and the evidence has always been there but science chose to theorize things in a way that felt more "natural" to them and their belief system.
I love that I’m trying to get away from gender stereotypes I reinforced another one 😂 I guess I should have said “people picking berries”…but sounds like being an older experienced woman, Id be a good hunter
@@courtneyactStraight up cougar! ❤
Welcome, you have chosen the pink pill, welcome to the hyper-masculine fable. Welcome
There were studies and theories that point to women discovering agriculture and once they did that, the men took over and it went down hill from there; they were basically forced into the home, giving rise to the patriarchy
Courtney articulated what I’ve been thinking recently about the ‘drag queens are groomers’ discourse in Australia ‘being spoken with an American accent’. I’ve always been proud of the fact that we’re a comparatively accepting and safe country for queer people, but I’ve definitely noticed a small minority starting to parrot uneducated rhetoric they’ve picked up from American media. Overall though, as Katya said, we’re pretty gay and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
Agree. It's augmented by media too. The conversations on TV vs Facebook vs Real Life are all very different, with different degrees of "American accent". I have to remind myself that Sky News or FB comments are probably the "worst" examples, and not representative of most people who think differently to me.
I showed my mom "Shade: The Rusical" and when she saw Courtney she asked me if she was a biological woman guest-starring on the episode.
thats what my mom asked about trixie, granted she is blind in one eye.
@@doublefeatureSorry girl but this made me SCREAM!!!!!!
Passing shouldnt be a joke, it's gross your mom was even thinking about what was in their pants
@@elvishkat I can guarantee she was focusing on the "guest star" part, and basing her decision on Courtney's makeup and singing voice.
Courtney wasn't even wearing pants in the Rusical! I checked and she was wearing a skirt
@@elvishkatoh shut up don’t be soft
Honestly, a fun gift. Tracey 4eva, but when Kate gets her plain self together and interviews some supermodel., it ends up being really fun and cool. They got Courtney at the right moment, too. Listen to that haur!
Courtney really made an amazing point with how she tried to explain gender to conservative people
I would argue that Courtney has been successful in having discussions re gender with conservatives. We saw this on Big Brother UK. I think that it is Courtney's eloquence that terrifies people, not his being queer and a drag queen.
This is the most cleanest and calming podcast I've seen from this channel
Love and miss Trixie, but this was a great episode! The conversation about queer liberation at the end was wonderful!
Where the hell is Trixie?
@@Plutonium.2 it's her birthday week so maybe she is doing smth private for that although doesn't quite sound like her to not be a workaholic.
@@miraza. it must be a big gig or you know she would be dropping names like a blind grandma carrying oranges
@@Plutonium.2 or vacation. i mean they are closing trixie motel for a week so my guess is something to do with that.
Thought could be a celebration of her bday they’re planning
God i love Courtney. So clever, articulate, patient and disarming. I was managing a vegetarian restaurant in Brighton, UK once, and as she walked through the door as Shane, i gasped, and said 'Oh my god you're..' and before i could say 'Courtney' she quickly said, 'from Brisbane'. I gasped, 'so am I'!! I had no idea. Instant bond i like to think. lots of laughing. The next time she brought Alaska and Willem. Never to be forgotten.
I loved this chat so so much, Courtney is so well spoken!!
This positivity is just overflowing when these two are together. What a great podcast❤
Also I was a little sad Trixie wasn’t on at first but Courtney definitely delivered! I can’t wait for pt. 2!
Thanks for talking in depth about trans rights!! Loved every single second of it
This is the first time I’ve liked the podcast before actually watching it because I’m SO excited about Courtney!!! And I live for the Katya interview episodes.
can we just send this on a loop to all the politicians until they give up and move on.
Such a great conversation. Looking forward to part 2 🩷🩷
Courtney has a great way of explaining issues.
It's insightful. And the coolest part is that she brings it back to the moon.. by which I mean she brings to light new things to think about, and I'm not caught looking at the finger (our tendency to be distracted with Oooh, It's Courtney). Those kinda folks are special. They leave something new, and they leave it open! (Emilia Fart also comes to mind, here)
This episode needs to be nominated for something. 💎

Katya just by saying “Trinidad and Tobago” you got the trini gays rights thank you so much queen we’ve elected you Prime Minister
Courtney is so intelligent and eloquent. I can't wait til next week's part 2!
This lived up to my own hype and then some. Such a nurturing, intelligent conversation that flowed very lovingly. Courtney gave me hope re: how to reach bigots by seeing past the tactics to divide us. What a wonderful teacher, she knows the way!
Also, Katya as a solo interviewer/listener has the most calming, soothing presence. It’s giving PBS chat show but dirty, which I love.
The Trixie & Katya duo magic cannot accommodate a third (or more)presence, it’s too concentrated. But separately they still do their own thing in cool different ways. I ❤ them.
I love LOVE when Katya has these types of conversations with guest. Idk if she can do that with trixie
What an eloquent discussion. This was a pleasure, I'm excited for next week. 👏👏
I laughed out loud a couple times during this. Can we have more Courtney please. The blonde trio I always wanted.
Courtney is a great guest host! Y'all have lovely chemistry 💖 the RNR moment had me cackling 💀
loved this video!! so happy its a part 1. the topics were so good and love to explore this podcast more
can't wait for part 2, what a delight this episode was
This was amazing. Thank you. Can’t wait for part 2!! Ooh there ain’t no other way!
YAY I love katya & guest episodes.
9:14 you can see Courtney clearly thrown thinking Katya says “What do you think of her jacking my hole…” and then realizing something different 😂
This could be one of the best videos I've ever watched on UA-cam. Thank you, wonderful people for making this !
Loved this, REALLY looking forward to part 2
I love how Courtney’s Siri is Australian ❤️
i've lived in berlin for 22 years and i've never even had one good day😭 congrats on being the one in a million courtney!!
Always love hearing Courtney’s take, she’s so knowledgeable and just knows the right way to answers questions. Wish I could vocalise opinions like her ❤
Courtney speaks so well!! Really looking forward to part 2!
Yay for two parts 🎉 Such a lovely and engaging conversation ❤❤❤
We need more of theses!! Great conversation!! xoxo
I loved this episode! ❤It was so fun and entertaining. I can’t wait for part 2.
This was fabulous! I saw Courtney at Horsemeat in Berlin Sliving! Glad you had fun gurl. X
So refleshing and so delitchious. Looking forward to part 2 of this conversation!
What a fantastic conversation! Can't wait for ep2.
💜💜💜
I love Courtney, her personality is the best mix of being elegant and funny at the same time
This was such a wonderfully intelligent conversation that I wasn't ready to be over so soon! Eagerly waiting for part 2!
Courtney's Siri having an Australian accent 😂😂😂
Such a great episode! Loved the conversation.
These two would make a fantastic duo for a regular podcast! I love their ability to discuss serious topics with intellect and wit, as well as entertain with silly fun surface level chat. Can't wait for part 2 💗
loved this!!
Thank EVERYTHING that there is a part 2
I had to watch this twice. Maybe i'll watch it thrice
that was really enjoyable! love it
I need more of this
This was an amazing episode
i really loved this !
I love this so much!!
Katya: For the first time in BB history, The Bald and the Beautiful
Kelly Mantle: F my drag.
We know that hoe doesn't remember what happened yesterday let alone a year ago. lolol
Both of these interviews were amazing.
this whole conversation made me so fucking happy
Great convo guys xo
Wow such an interesting conversation. Really enjoy it.
This was a great conversation!
This was absolutely lovely!! Looking forward to the rest! Courtney Act needs to be a regular co-host!❤
Great chat. Interesting. Thought provoking. Thanks!
