Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Tricia Patis was born on May eighth, nineteen eighty eight
in Riverside, California, and endured a tumultuous early life that
would shape her unique approach to fame and self expression.
Raised among frequent family moves and uncertain circumstances, the instability
of her formative years propelled her towards performance and a

(00:30):
relentless desire for attention and validation from the world. It
was that dry for recognition and her fascination with the
entertainment industry that eventually led her to Los Angeles as
a young adult. In her early years there, Petas supported
herself through lingerie, modeling, club dancing, and even escort work,

(00:51):
all while nurturing dreams of acting stardom and a larger
platform in the media spotlight. In pursuit of traditional television fame,
she appeared on a range of shows, including The Greg
Baron Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Who Wants to Be
a Superhero, and My Strange Addiction, the last of which
featured her due to her tanning addiction. Though several of

(01:14):
these television slots were brief or even ignominious, they drove
Paetus to experiment even further with ways to elgole her
way into the public consciousness. One improbable early claim to
fame was her attempt at breaking the world record for
the world's fastest talker, which demonstrated both her comedic sensibility
and her willingness to be perceived as outrageous. Around the

(01:36):
same time, she was making cameo appearances and music videos
for high profile artists, such as Eminem's We Made You,
where she lampooned Jessica Simpson, Amy Winehouse's Tears Dry on
Their Own, and the All American rejects Bee Keeper's Daughter.
According to Peter herself, her role in Eminem's video was pivotal,

(01:57):
opening doors in Hollywood and setting her up for a
new trajector and as a recognized media personality. The most
significant change for Tricia Patis came in two thousand seven
with the launch of her YouTube channel. Initially created as
a fan account for Quentin Tarantino. Quickly realizing the platform's power,
she pivoted to original content, pouring herself into uploads that

(02:21):
mixed beauty tutorials, lifestyle halls, sketch homedy, story times, and
what has now become her most iconic format, confessional vlogs.
Often filmed from her kitchen floor. These vlogs ranged from
sincere to sensationalist, heartbreaking to absurd, and their emotional directness
creating an unusually intimate relationship between Patis and her viewers.

(02:45):
The so called crying on my kitchen floor genre became
synonymous with her identity online. Over the years, the range
of her content balloomed to include mookbang eating videos, asmr challenges,
and even deeply personal videos about her relationships, struggles, and identity.

(03:06):
What truly set Patis apart from other early YouTube creators
was her willingness to blur the line between authenticity and performance,
embracing and amplifying controversy as a strategy. Her provocative trolling videos,
such as the infamous declaration that dogs do not have
brains or that she was voting from Mit Romney for president,

(03:28):
were engineered partially to court outrage, drive engagement, and cultivate
an unpredictable persona. This approach drew frequent criticism for perceived
insincerity and stoking online drama, yet it also elevated her
to legendary Internet status and helped her secure over five
million subscribers on her main YouTube channel, with millions more

(03:50):
tuning in through related social media. Paytus's career has not
been confined to the digital space. She has published over
ten books, released dozens of music singles and several EPs,
and even dropped a studio album. In twenty fifteen, her
music video for Fat Chicks was featured in major outlets,
including Cosmopolitan and The Huffington Post. By twenty sixteen, her

(04:15):
EP Daddy Issues earned a place on the Billboard Top
heat Seekers Albums chart. She also became a contestant on
the twentieth season of Celebrity Big Brother in the United Kingdom,
departing after eleven days but leaving a lasting impression in
much controversy in her wake. Throughout the majority of her career,
Paetis has eagerly laid bare her personal battles and shifting identity,

(04:38):
at times claiming various labels. In March twenty twenty one,
she announced her identity as non binary and began using
day or sheep pronouns, adding another layer to her already
complex public person. These revelations, along with her frequent and
dramatic personal updates, have made her one of the most
talked about figures in the YouTube era. In a day.

(05:00):
Midition to her professional life, Petas has shared much about
her private life with her audience. After a string of
tumultuous relationships, she married Moses Hackman in December twenty twenty one,
and the couple welcomed their first child, Malibu Barbie PETA's
Dash Hackman, in September twenty twenty two. Petus has publicly
credited motherhood with transforming her outlook, saying that having Malibu

(05:23):
gave her life new purpose and encouraged her to leave
behind the more chaotic behaviors of her past. This fresh
perspective has marked a partial shift in the content Petus produces,
with an increasing focus on positivity, personal growth, and creativity.
In the past two years, Petas has seen her relevance
and career escalate once again. In twenty twenty four, she

(05:44):
garnered massive attention for her TikTok comedy series Tricia's Tavern,
which today this resonated with a new generation of fans.
She was also invited to debut in a Saturday Night
live skit, a milestone achievement for any entertainer. This Asa
Sisennel appearance was met with widespread acclaim and caught both
old fans and newcomers by surprise, cementing her position as

(06:07):
an enduring, if controversial figure and entertainment. Around the same time,
Peytos hosted sold out live shows, most notably Trishmas Live
in New York City, where she shocked crowds by announcing
her debut Broadway style performance, Tricia Patrius's Big Broadway Dream.
These high profile moments have not only extended her audience reach,

(06:29):
but also provided validation that, despite years of online chaos,
she could cross over into mainstream entertainment. Despite constant criticism,
frequent public feuds with other Internet personalities, and several instances
of being canceled, Pathos has consistently risen from the ashes
of controversy. She has admitted to her need for attention

(06:50):
and to intentionally courting antagonism as a way of maintaining relevance.
Yet it is this self awareness and candor, coupled with
her indefatigable hustle, that is made Pathos such a fixture
of Internet culture for nearly two decades. From the messiness
of her early years to her present day focus on
family and creative projects, Tricia Paytos's life is both a

(07:11):
reflection and a microcosm of digital era celebrity, where performance, reality,
and reinvention coexist in a perpetual feedback loop. Patoss remains
active across YouTube, TikTok, podcasting, and live events and shows
little sign of slowing down. Her story is that of
someone who has defied every typical entertainment industry rule by

(07:33):
thriving on transparency and controversy, wielding vulnerability as both shield quiet,
