Welcome back to another episode of Pretty, Not Smart with your host, the maggot.

Yoatzi Castro (1:10)

I'm Emily, the corpse bride, aka Yoatzi, and I am Victor Von Dort. Hey.

Alex (1:17)

Von Dort.

Louie Castro (1:18)

I hate my costume.

SPEAKER_5 (1:20)

Guys.

Alex (1:20)

That's the best one you've had all season long.

SPEAKER_5 (1:23)

I do like a photo shoot like this.

Yoatzi Castro (1:26)

He's the one that picked this fucking costume.

Louie Castro (1:29)

It's because I wanted to be corpse brine.

SPEAKER_5 (1:31)

And you wanted me to be the maggot.

Louie Castro (1:34)

We should have done it like that.

Yoatzi Castro (1:35)

We should have switched.

Louie Castro (1:37)

I could have been corpse bride, and you could have been the maggot.

Alex (1:39)

I could have been the guy with the hole in his chest.

SPEAKER_5 (1:42)

Damn. Wait, another.

Louie Castro (1:45)

We said maggot. Me and Addy have this inside joke.

Yoatzi Castro (1:49)

What?

Louie Castro (1:49)

Where his drag name is Mother Maggot.

SPEAKER_5 (1:52)

Oh, wait.

SPEAKER_3 (1:53)

I think you guys told us that.

Yoatzi Castro (1:55)

It's funny.

Louie Castro (1:55)

I forgot the lore behind it, though. But we were saying that.

SPEAKER_5 (1:59)

Mother Maggot.

Louie Castro (2:01)

I don't know how it happened, but we were basically saying that Addy is like Mother Maggot, and he's made up of like a million maggots.

SPEAKER_5 (2:07)

Ew. Oogie Boogie.

Alex (2:08)

I was about to say you say he's Oogie Boogie.

SPEAKER_5 (2:10)

Oogie Boogie made out of maggots. Bugs. And then he has like a quilt over him. So at the end of the movie, cuando lo descosen, all the bugs are like, bye, bugs.

Louie Castro (2:18)

You're wrong.

SPEAKER_3 (2:18)

Bye, bugs.

SPEAKER_5 (2:20)

Ew.

Louie Castro (2:21)

And then we added on to the joke in a YouTube video that we did with Addy. We're seeing how he turned into a moth.

Alex (2:26)

And like, oh, wait, yeah, what the?

Louie Castro (2:28)

The whole city's like, trying to kill him.

SPEAKER_3 (2:30)

He's like, that's funny.

Louie Castro (2:33)

I love my stories with Addy, but yeah, I'm one of Addy's maggots.

SPEAKER_5 (2:39)

The one that like got left behind.

Louie Castro (2:42)

No, so when we were planning this, and you guys haven't read the title, we're obviously going to fully dive into Yoatzi and Alex's engagement.

SPEAKER_5 (2:51)

I'm engaged, bitches.

Louie Castro (2:53)

We briefly talked about it on our last epi, but we want to fully dedicate a whole episode. It's just, Yoatzi didn't know about it in our last episode. So by the time we filmed, she already knew, but it would have been too last minute to just do it all. So we decided to do a full dedicated episode with Alex in here.

Alex (3:10)

Alex. Whose name are you going to say, huh?

SPEAKER_3 (3:13)

Oh, I hide.

Yoatzi Castro (3:19)

If you guys are listening and not watching, Louie is wearing a morph suit, but he lost his hands. It's just a caterpillar.

SPEAKER_5 (3:27)

So I'm getting claustrophobic.

Alex (3:28)

It's a really sickening body suit.

Louie Castro (3:32)

But yeah, I wouldn't have felt right doing it without man.

Alex (3:35)

Yeah, right.

Louie Castro (3:35)

To hear the full inside scoop. So when we were thinking of costumes, I was like, oh my god, let's do Corpse Bride. And then they were like, what are you going to be? And I was like, fuck, what am I going to be?

Alex (3:44)

Yeah.

Yoatzi Castro (3:45)

Dude.

Louie Castro (3:45)

And then I looked up characters and I saw the worm. So I was like, the only one that makes sense.
