i just love how trixie and katya don't just repeat stories in their universe but also from podcast to podcast 😭

“We are the final stop on the ladder of destroying culture and we need to be a little more aware of what we say” is SUCH a refreshing thing to hear come out of a gay, white man’s mouth 😅😩 kudos to you for being self aware & vocal

When it cuts to Joe snapping at us about the pronunciation 😭💀 I love your editing Joe!!!

[@GoodChildrenPod]

i heard the comments so loud in my head

[@GoodChildrenPod]

also thank you

[@Ciela887]

The caller at the end 😢their advice was so true. One of the quotes I try to remember during low times is from the poem "Someday I'll Love Ocean Vuong": "The most beautiful part of your body is where it's headed."

[@oliviabuchwald3922]

NO WAY--CROSSOVER OF THE CENTURY

[@CalvinDavis-y7q]

as much as trixie repeated some of the same stuff we've heard for 5,000 interviews, there were some new perspectives and really beautiful insights i don't think we've gotten before. This feels like give it to me straight without a drag roast format lolol.

I don't have gay friends to talk to about gay things, so listening to you is almost like having a friend. Long live the podcast! 🩵

I am loving Trixie on this podcast tour. A softer sensitive side of her. And I love Trixie taking care of her health.

First time viewer of the Good Children pod (courtesy of Trixie's shoutout on Bald and the Beautiful) and I already love you both! This was such a wonderful mix of deep questions, hilarity, and healing truths from each of you, including Trixie of course.

I've been a fan of Trixie and Katya since that fateful first episode of Ruview. Their eloquence, knowledge, and perception of life impresses me time after time. Particularly, Trixie. She found purpose to her suffering and worked through and in spite of it.

[@portiajanes2064]

First time here. The set of this pod is insanely beautiful

trixie was so prophetic in this episode and i kinda love it

[@mrc8179]

Trixie and I are the exact same age (a week apart) and hearing her say she wants to cover "Nothing in this world" just gave me butterflies. This album was such a highlight of my senior year of high school and this song specifically was so magical. It was also my ringtone (complete with the pink razr) so I think that's why it's so nostalgic to me. ALSO, was a great episode.... I've been following Joe and Andrew for a while but haven't listened to a full episode till this gem and im officially a fan!!!!

[@isubizu]

i can't believe its been 2 FUCKING YEARS!!!!!! been here since the beginning.. love yall

oh we started the season off right !!! love you two so much so excited

[@GoodChildrenPod]

[@simplicitylost]

48:21 You know, it’s funny you say that because my friend’s boyfriend sort of did that with his family in regard to him being gay. He didn’t speak to them for about a year. Basically said to them, “it’s your problem, not mine; talk to me when you get over it.”

[@rafi5333]

Having good children interact w my comments when they first started and then seeing them w TRIXIE??!???!??! I love love love this i love it

[@user_314_andmore]

the bit about weight got to me on a personal level. another reason why i try not to comment on weight in positive or negative terms. people don't need it. a great episode!

[@daniellemarie13333]

This was so exciting to see you guys have someone you revere so much on your podcast and also I have never seen drag race and don’t know much about drag culture but I feel like I learned a lot here. Trixie’s energy is so cool it meshes well with yours ❤❤ ANOTHER PERFECT EPISODE OF GOOD CHILDREN POD

[@nic.fern13]

THIS IS EVERYTHING 👏🏽 🎉🎉

[@jonathan1636]

The joy, the happiness and pure laughter that Trixie has brought to so many of us is what makes her the queen of drag. Sure other artists make amazing drag. But Trixie and her shenanigans along with Katya have just had the power to help me through rough periods of life. And these two have talked about stuff I now realize was a big deal, but never really allowed myself to validate. Forcing yourself into a medium Abercrombie? Done that! And, every now and then I have to go watch that episode of “dO yOu tHiNk tHaT mY pArEntSss?” *Ding dong* 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good children this is a big deal and I hope I speak for everyone, we rejoice in seeing this Diva hanging out with you.

[@GoodChildrenPod]

thank you so much 💖💖💖

[@MariahCoc23]

I’m excited to be here. I had been following on tiktok for a while but I have made it toooo the youtube !

[@dylenrobertsj3417]

46:06 I love this topic because it’s on the lines of bring masculinity back for gay men. Not everyone has to be snapping their fingers and waving a fan and that’s all right!!! ❤️ Because those are the same men that won’t date their own kind “ feminine”

[@porgiepuddinandpie]

living for trixie saying "matt and bowen did it" at the same moment I did

[@rachelzwicker8731]

I wish that I would’ve taken some business classes with my degree as well. As a fellow alum who was a freshman at UWM when Trixie was a senior, we were told connections are everything but we were never given any formal education on the business aspect of it

[@Renott]

This is huge for Andrew… but this is also huge for Joe
