Speaker 1: Look Maher, Oh, I see you my own and look
Speaker 1: over there is that culture. Yes, goodness, wow, los cud
Speaker 1: lost culture. He's us calling. We're edging ever closer to
Speaker 1: the big night.
Speaker 2: This is that week between award shows, between awards night.
Speaker 1: How are you kneeling? We're half in Tony's mode, half
Speaker 1: in the last Culture Isa's Cultural Awards mode. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So many friends of the show were honored.
Speaker 2: I am very, very very ecstatic for them. I will
Speaker 2: say I was bad last night and I skipped out
Speaker 2: on watching the writerless Tony's to instead go see a film.
Speaker 1: Oh, and I can't wait to hear all about the film.
Speaker 2: I will talk about it.
Speaker 1: This is an anticipated film very much.
Speaker 2: So now will you tell everyone the honorable people who
Speaker 2: took home Tony's are to wear less.
Speaker 1: I think the very first thing we have to do
Speaker 1: is shout out Miss Bonnie Milligan, a Tony Award winner,
Speaker 1: a friend of the show, a performer on last year's
Speaker 1: Last Culture Racis Cultural Awards. She tore down the house
Speaker 1: with Natalie Walker to all I Want for Christmas is
Speaker 1: you Stay tuned on a performance of that tune at
Speaker 1: this year's ceremony because it is a repeat nominee. True,
Speaker 1: she was on the show this year. We saw Kimberly
Speaker 1: at Kimbo. It's so incredible. It deserved everything it got,
Speaker 1: including you, Vicky Clark, Vicky clar Le, Jeanine David, everyone
Speaker 1: at Kimberly and Kimbo. Congratulations. I think this has to
Speaker 1: solidify its status as a front runner for Best Indoor
Speaker 1: Performance Live Performance. I don't know is it nominated. It's
Speaker 1: definitely nominated, but the tough competition, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think wait, let me just check. It is not nominated.
Speaker 2: It has the title for the award, it is not
Speaker 2: nominated for Kimberly. Krimbo is not nominated for its own award.
Speaker 2: But that's in some ways that's even more iconic.
Speaker 1: It's almost like I forgot Wow.
Speaker 2: Is nominated for the Rosalia Award for KIMBERLYA.
Speaker 1: Kimbo did not score a nomination for Best Into a
Speaker 1: Live Performance. Wow.
Speaker 2: But I think the real prize there isn't the award itself.
Speaker 2: It's it's been in the namesake. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: What to say whether they take home the award this
Speaker 1: week or not. They did certainly last weekend and congrats
Speaker 1: to all the cast and crew of Kimberly a Kimbo
Speaker 1: All the house down. Also parade Parade.
Speaker 2: Michael Arden, I'm a faggot with the Tony. I saw
Speaker 2: I'm a faggot with a Tony.
Speaker 1: And that's a rule of culture. That's real. Coach a
Speaker 1: number twelve image with Tony.
Speaker 2: One better than faggot who sees adele fag Tony.
Speaker 1: Faggot with a Tony. This was one of the biggest
Speaker 1: nights of his life. I'm sure fagot with a Tony.
Speaker 1: Faggot with a Tony is such a huge night in
Speaker 1: your life.
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna be faggot with the Tony someday.
Speaker 1: I really do you just touched my heart? You just
Speaker 1: reached out and touched my heart clean Preston Burke style.
Speaker 2: I cut you open, touched your heart.
Speaker 1: Bring Preston Burk into this.
Speaker 2: Grace is back in the zeitgeist.
Speaker 1: Do we need to tell back by the culture. Let's
Speaker 1: get into it. Ellen Pompeo, So the biggest cultural news
Speaker 1: item of the week. And by the way, we are
Speaker 1: on yet again indictment watch.
Speaker 2: We're recording this on Monday twelfth. He is getting you
Speaker 2: know he has to go to the authorities, the Floridian
Speaker 2: authorities tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Got him. We got him. He's gonna go into the authorities.
Speaker 1: We got him.
Speaker 2: The Katies readers, publishist finalists who just came to you screaming,
Speaker 2: got him again. They didn't know, they didn't know you
Speaker 2: were edging them.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Well, edging is something I love to do.
Speaker 1: Just kidding. I absolutely have to come all the time.
Speaker 1: But it's interesting we're even discussing all this because speaking
Speaker 1: of being all the way locked up in jail, and
Speaker 1: I did smoke a whole blunt of reefer before I
Speaker 1: got on this episode, but I absolutely am imprisoned by
Speaker 1: the charm of miss Ariana depos in this scriptless Tony Awards.
Speaker 2: So she didn't say a literal word the whole night.
Speaker 1: No, she said words, but she sort of used her
Speaker 1: effortless charm to improvise her way through. She even turned
Speaker 1: to the prompter's bowen and the prompters were blank. That
Speaker 1: is theater there, the bound her.
Speaker 2: You mean have theater with a teleprompter, you really can?
Speaker 1: And cameras with no prompter.
Speaker 2: Mmm, I mean with or without a prompter, you can.
Speaker 2: You can still have theater. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Well, yes, absolutely. And also you know what you got
Speaker 1: was actors improvising during their presenter copy. Marcia gay Harden
Speaker 1: got up there and she said this, hello, my name
Speaker 1: is Marcia, and it doesn't matter where we are, we
Speaker 1: can always say gay Harden. And I thought she really
Speaker 1: left no crumbs with that one.
Speaker 2: That's really good. I mean, the gay Harden said you
Speaker 2: can say gay gay Harden. I mean, harden is the
Speaker 2: gayest word I think besides gay Harden.
Speaker 1: My favorite Pokemon move.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Metapod, I love to click button harden
Speaker 2: me as a little one, Harden is kind of annoying
Speaker 2: the one time I go, don't stay staf mama.
Speaker 1: Period. What's the Pokemon that can do harden?
Speaker 2: It's too It's Metapod and Cocuna and then a Handleona.
Speaker 2: There's cass Coon, there's sil Coon there. So in the
Speaker 2: other generations they have new Cocoon Pokemon.
Speaker 1: So Cocuona, can we just get into Kakuna for a second.
Speaker 1: What was the risks and rewards of being Cocuna as
Speaker 1: a fighting pokemon.
Speaker 2: Cockuda, Metapod are very similar in that they don't really
Speaker 2: have like a lot of attack. Right, If you're seeing
Speaker 2: a cocuna or a metapod in the wild, their only
Speaker 2: move they know is hardened. But if you evolved a
Speaker 2: metapod from acatopy or cocuna from a wheedle, they can
Speaker 2: at least know string shot and tackle, oh my god,
Speaker 2: and poisoning if you're lucky.
Speaker 1: Does the cocuna eventually become the bee? Yes, b Dril
Speaker 1: Bedril Okay, so that's why you want to stick with
Speaker 1: being cocuna for a while, so you can eventually become
Speaker 1: be Dril and then probably everyone is like totally powerless.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, But like, this is how you knew you were
Speaker 2: gay in the nineties. Tell us about this if you
Speaker 2: were like, no, I want butter free, I don't want
Speaker 2: b drel. Yeah, guess what thirty years from now, you're
Speaker 2: going to horse meat disco.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's the pipeline. That's the pipeline.
Speaker 1: Did I ever tell you? I think I've told you this,
Speaker 1: But one time I absolutely dominated a game of Yellow
Speaker 1: version with a prime ape.
Speaker 2: Oh that is so you.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I ended up with this prime ape,
Speaker 1: but I fucking killed the girls dead with prime ape.
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable.
Speaker 2: It didn't matter where Pikachu was, no, she got tossed
Speaker 2: along the way.
Speaker 1: I don't know how.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to say Pikachu's weakest moment was Pokemon Yellow
Speaker 2: because it was a little piece of shit from the beginning.
Speaker 2: It paid you dust, he she they paid you dust
Speaker 2: at the beginning. It was like, I don't want to
Speaker 2: be with you, and you're like, okay, then don't. Then
Speaker 2: go Yeah. I wanted to tell that Pikachu off the
Speaker 2: entire time.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm saying to anyone that wants to be
Speaker 1: in my life. If it's not a fuck, yes to
Speaker 1: hang out with me. If it's not a absolutely, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be there. I don't need you, period. This is
Speaker 1: how we are moving forward. Okay, if you could take
Speaker 1: or leave me, I could only leave you, And that
Speaker 1: goes to that goes to everyone show me how important
Speaker 1: I am to you.
Speaker 2: I am looking at you and going who could ever
Speaker 2: leave you?
Speaker 1: Darling? And who couldn't? Who couldn't stay? The Archer is
Speaker 1: one of the greatest songs in Teller Swift's discography.
Speaker 2: Discuss one thousand percent. She was giving you mid to
Speaker 2: late offs like she nailed it, and like you needed
Speaker 2: the Archer to sort of bridge. You couldn't have had
Speaker 2: the Archer on nineteen eighty nine. You couldn't have had
Speaker 2: another reputation. It could have only worked on lover, and
Speaker 2: this was a lover song. The Archer paved a lot
Speaker 2: of roads to get to midnights. That's tea.
Speaker 1: Also, I'm gonna say this, even back in the day
Speaker 1: when I first heard it, I said, this song in
Speaker 1: a stadium in a big concert is gonna slap? And
Speaker 1: did it not? It did?
Speaker 2: And then some especially this little move she does on
Speaker 2: all the shows, but the camera hands in the most
Speaker 2: perfect way. Okay, I'm about to do the movie, you know,
Speaker 2: the moon I'm gonna do. I'm in the archer.
Speaker 1: Yep. The just basically was giving centaur sagittarius, sagittarianati, sagittarian.
Speaker 1: That's not it might be an aquarian.
Speaker 2: I think it was might be an aquarian aquaria now
Speaker 2: not sagittaria, not sagittaria. Can I quickly before we move on,
Speaker 2: because we were kind of hovering over video games for
Speaker 2: a second, I want you to just primate more a
Speaker 2: little bit. So you caught a mankey and then you
Speaker 2: evolved it.
Speaker 1: At some point I got a man key, and I
Speaker 1: think I must have just been impressed with something about
Speaker 1: what he could do. There must have been something about
Speaker 1: that girl that I chose to invest in her emotionally,
Speaker 1: like I was Alyssa Edwards and she was one of
Speaker 1: my girls, my dancers.
Speaker 2: Your dancers you are giving. I know your water signed down.
Speaker 2: If you're a gym leader. Do you think your type
Speaker 2: would be water because I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: No. I think I'm a fighter rock type trainer because
Speaker 1: look at my hair, you know what I mean. If
Speaker 1: you put me in one, I really feel like I
Speaker 1: could give you a Brock, like if they did want
Speaker 1: to resurrect Pokemon and do a live action film. I
Speaker 1: actually think I could give you a Brock. I would
Speaker 1: love to tape for Brock, Oh, I really would. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'll even write the Brock biopic. Brock is actually gay.
Speaker 1: He lives in rock Town.
Speaker 2: Rock Town. What's the name of the theater cityter City?
Speaker 1: Wow, you really are that girl.
Speaker 2: Honey, bake my ass. I can give it to you. Encyclopedia,
Speaker 2: brown Town down.
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Jackson claims didn't he tell us this
Speaker 1: like we were talking because Pokemon came up also when
Speaker 1: we were in London, who said they think they could
Speaker 1: name every Pokemon in order, at least the one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty one the original though order.
Speaker 3: The vickis the Caro Manzo's.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm sure it was Aaron. I couldn't
Speaker 2: name them in order, but I could name all one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty. I could do sections of the poker
Speaker 2: rap and it would give you a boner. Wow, Electro
Speaker 2: Minky Minister Protector, Theore Piggy Regon Night guestly like, look,
Speaker 2: it's you.
Speaker 1: Really are one of the leading artists of our generation.
Speaker 1: You really are. I look at you in the way
Speaker 1: you performed the poker Rap and I was like to see,
Speaker 1: this is really a sorry pokemonm masterism destiny the one
Speaker 1: man concert I am getting right now of one performing
Speaker 1: poker rap. This should be worth Era's tour money. You
Speaker 1: could charge dollars and dollars for this. People would come
Speaker 1: to see you do poke rap.
Speaker 2: Should I do a Pokemon show, Yes, a live Pokemon show.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Your live show should be Bowen Yang
Speaker 1: Pokemon Experience, Bow.
Speaker 2: And Yang Pokemon Experience, or what if it was like
Speaker 2: the bow and Yang Crossover Spectacular, and it's me talking
Speaker 2: to Goku talking to Ash. Yeah, Taylor Moon talking to
Speaker 2: all the girls.
Speaker 1: You need to do a reunion with the girl Pokemon's.
Speaker 2: That is INSPI.
Speaker 1: This is actually a major moment. This is an breaking
Speaker 1: of something.
Speaker 2: An unbreaking of something. And I don't mean disrespect to
Speaker 2: the podcast Lost culturistis, which we've hosted for close to
Speaker 2: eight years moments like this icho, but Lost Culture was
Speaker 2: just a stepping stone to something else.
Speaker 1: To the Bow and Yang Pokemon, to the Pokemon, which
Speaker 1: is the title of app.
Speaker 2: Wait, okay, so first of all, I want to be
Speaker 2: like at a restaurant in LA and I want to
Speaker 2: hear the table next to me, or table like four
Speaker 2: tables down from me. They don't clock that I'm there,
Speaker 2: but I want to hear two fucking agents go. Well,
Speaker 2: I heard Matt Rogers is reading for Brock.
Speaker 1: I'm manifesting that. And you know what I heard is
Speaker 1: really going to shake the table the Bang Pokemon experience.
Speaker 1: I heard that this is a hot live show. This
Speaker 1: is a hot show.
Speaker 2: Well, he's been sitting on this idea for like what
Speaker 2: seven years, and he hasn't really done anything with it.
Speaker 1: So, but this is a huge hit and also, by
Speaker 1: the way, producer and producer.
Speaker 2: Okay, really quickly before we move on, we have huge
Speaker 2: things to talk about, Matt. We need to sort of
Speaker 2: take a little bit of time to acknowledge how twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three one of the biggest, if not the biggest
Speaker 2: year in video games.
Speaker 1: Oh, you've defeated the game, and I want to meet
Speaker 1: it the game, what the experience was. And by the game,
Speaker 1: we of course mean Tears of the Kingdom.
Speaker 2: Tiers of the Kingdom. Yes, nominated for the Betty Gilpin
Speaker 2: Award for Bisley again, h I think it might win.
Speaker 2: I think it might win. We'll see.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see you on Saturday night. What happens.
Speaker 1: Let's just say me too.
Speaker 2: Let's just say that, hands down the best game I've
Speaker 2: ever played, the best game anyone will ever play.
Speaker 1: I was in Wow, you're saying that, You're saying that confidently.
Speaker 2: I've had conversations with Raiders, Katie's publicists, finalists. We're all
Speaker 2: in agreement. The ending is thirty five years in the making,
Speaker 2: in the making, it's by thirty five years of groundwork,
Speaker 2: and I cannot believe I thought I was dead inside.
Speaker 2: I really did for the last several months, Matt think
Speaker 2: I'm not consuming art. That's like moving me. And that
Speaker 2: all change this week, by the way, But I'm going, God,
Speaker 2: I want to feel something again.
Speaker 1: There is a fire in you well.
Speaker 2: Because can I share something? Yes, I celebrate that you
Speaker 2: smoked a little you consumed a little marijuana, just a
Speaker 2: little bit, just a little bit. Normally, you know, I
Speaker 2: like to be on my girls level, but I also
Speaker 2: have shared it with my girl that I need to
Speaker 2: take a little bit of a break love that because
Speaker 2: it just really kind of throws me off.
Speaker 1: I have taken breaks and they've been the huge beneficial.
Speaker 2: I am in support and so have I the past,
Speaker 2: and this is just my new cadence with it. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I took an edible in London. I took myself to
Speaker 2: go see Spider Man Spider and wouldn't you know, I
Speaker 2: walked out because I go, I'm too stone for this.
Speaker 2: There's a lot happening, and so far I think this
Speaker 2: is worse than the first one, and I cannot think that.
Speaker 1: And No, you had an complete come to Jesus moment
Speaker 1: where you were like, this is my mindset. I'm removing
Speaker 1: myself from the situation I have to give this a chance,
Speaker 1: and I'm not in that position to give us a
Speaker 1: chance because it looks visually stimulating as fuck. Probably overload
Speaker 1: when you're that high.
Speaker 2: It's visual overload, it's informational overload. I mean the movie
Speaker 2: opens on Hailey Steinfeld's when Stacy worlds, and it is
Speaker 2: a feast for the fucking senses. But it's all in watercolor,
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh my god, what the fuck am
Speaker 2: I watching? In the best way, But when you're stone,
Speaker 2: when you're a little bit stoned, you're like, this is
Speaker 2: I have to remove myself.
Speaker 1: And I made it past that.
Speaker 2: I was like forty five minutes in and I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't understand a single thing that's happening. And normally
Speaker 2: I do kind of follow this in a decent way,
Speaker 2: and I was just like, I got to recuse. They
Speaker 2: left the theater. But anyway, back to Zelda, this ending, Matt,
Speaker 2: it is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: There is a moment that is full circle. I can't
Speaker 2: even talk about it because it would spoil And you're
Speaker 2: being a good friend by engaging with me and reacting no.
Speaker 1: But I'm wondering, like if it's is it something you
Speaker 1: are able to spoil? Like, can you talk about it?
Speaker 1: Have enough people gotten to this point yet where you
Speaker 1: feel like you could share it on this podcast?
Speaker 2: No, because this is the kind of game that is
Speaker 2: completely your own adventure. Oh, it is a game unlike
Speaker 2: any other sounds and it really is. It really is
Speaker 2: like the best game ever made. And people are saying
Speaker 2: this about Breath of the Wild, but it makes Breath
Speaker 2: of the Wild it seem like a proof of concept.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: And this game is out of control and the ending
Speaker 2: is a visual unlike anything I've seen in film, TV,
Speaker 2: video games, anything. And there's just something that happens in
Speaker 2: the end where you have to do something, you have
Speaker 2: to make up for a failure in the beginning of
Speaker 2: the game. Link fails in the beginning of the game,
Speaker 2: That's all I'll say. And the final moment is not
Speaker 2: necessarily about beating the bad guy, but it's about redeeming
Speaker 2: that failure. And that's all I'll say. It's done in
Speaker 2: the most impactful, epic, beautiful, touching way.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I will never get over it. I will never stop
Speaker 2: thinking about this moment for the rest of.
Speaker 1: My life, and it's how the game ends.
Speaker 2: It's how the game ends. It's the last thing you had,
Speaker 2: It's the last button you have to press. It's the
Speaker 2: most important button you've ever pressed in your life. Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you anyway, So we're doing that now.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about all the important buttons.
Speaker 2: I think of all the buttons you've pushed. Think about
Speaker 2: all the buttons you've pushed. This is the most important button.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I got eat. I pushed up and.
Speaker 2: Girl, that's where I went. I pushed an elevator up
Speaker 2: at University Hall and that's where I met you.
Speaker 1: No, I think we met in the lobby. I don't
Speaker 1: think we met in the elevator. Bank.
Speaker 2: Were you on the eighth floor? Do you remember what
Speaker 2: floor you were on, Darling?
Speaker 1: I was on the seventh floor and then the seventeenth floor,
Speaker 1: and so that would have been the seventh floor. I
Speaker 1: was from seven o seven.
Speaker 2: At U Haul. Yeah, Darling, I remember going. It was
Speaker 2: going to a hambercout show. I was going to meet Sherman. Yes,
Speaker 2: and then she she was like, my mate Matt wants
Speaker 2: to come.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I had seen you post a video to her
Speaker 2: Facebook wall.
Speaker 1: And you thought who the fuck is this?
Speaker 2: I was like, this man is going after the girl I.
Speaker 1: I know you were crushing on Shermung.
Speaker 2: She was the coolest girl. She was effortless, effortless beautiful.
Speaker 1: She I remember, So this is the girl that you
Speaker 1: know I met through in freshman year. Her roommate and
Speaker 1: I would watch sometimes watch The Hills together. Say her name.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say her name because I don't
Speaker 1: know how much she'd want to be talked about on
Speaker 1: the podcast. But she and I were like sort of
Speaker 1: like trying out being friends, and we would like crack
Speaker 1: up watching the Hills. But Chermung would be in the
Speaker 1: other room and she'd sort of be like over it
Speaker 1: that we were watching the Hills, and I was like,
Speaker 1: who's this girl? And then a few times we interacted
Speaker 1: and she did have a very star casting sense of humor,
Speaker 1: and I just trusted what she would think was funny
Speaker 1: because she would also like nag me a lot. And
Speaker 1: she was like, I'm going to see the sketch group
Speaker 1: and my friend bou Onen is going he's in the
Speaker 1: improv group. And I was just like, in the back
Speaker 1: of my mind, I was like, I want to figure
Speaker 1: out what this is because I might want to do that.
Speaker 1: And then we and I remember, and I remember you
Speaker 1: giving me a little bit of the stink eye girl
Speaker 1: because of Shermung. I don't you were crushing on Shermung.
Speaker 2: We haven't really.
Speaker 1: Fully unpacked this.
Speaker 2: I don't know how comfortable she would be to hear
Speaker 2: us talking about her, but she's Look, she's living a
Speaker 2: groovy life right now.
Speaker 1: First of all, I think she is the person that
Speaker 1: brought together Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, and I think
Speaker 1: she's an icon.
Speaker 2: And for other reasons as well. She's a genius engineer. Yes,
Speaker 2: she's wonderful. She was the person who brought us together.
Speaker 1: She definitely did that.
Speaker 2: Is the person who brought us.
Speaker 1: She invited us to the same thing. We went together
Speaker 1: in a group of four, I think, yeah, And I
Speaker 1: watched the hammer ket Show, and I do remember you
Speaker 1: gave me a little bit of stink guy, because later
Speaker 1: you would tell me that you had a quote unquote
Speaker 1: crush on Chermunk.
Speaker 2: It was a full fledged crush I was.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't like that for me in Chrmung. I
Speaker 1: wasn't a threat to you. It just wasn't thought you
Speaker 1: were I thought you were no. I was fully like
Speaker 1: giving straight drag. But I think Chrmung and I were
Speaker 1: always friends. And I also think she is smart enough
Speaker 1: to look right through me and be like this fag it. Yes,
Speaker 1: she knew we were gay. Come on, probably she was
Speaker 1: too smart for that ship.
Speaker 2: She knew we were right right anyway, how do we
Speaker 2: talk about you? Oh, the elevator, the button I press.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. But and then, but that is where we met,
Speaker 1: and then we didn't really hang out again ever again
Speaker 1: until I auditioned for the group and you famously said, hey, mama,
Speaker 1: heard your auditioning, and you're super funny. Can't wait to
Speaker 1: see how this one turns out. Cut first round. I'm
Speaker 1: never gonna stop talking about it.
Speaker 2: Hey, mama, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think doing a colloquialism.
Speaker 2: We need to get to the we have not like resolved,
Speaker 2: like reconciled these two accounts, because this.
Speaker 1: Is the truth of it. This is the truth of it,
Speaker 1: and I'm ready to say the truth. I'm ready to
Speaker 1: say the truth of Bowen and I's first interaction. This
Speaker 1: is honesty zone. You came over. I think you probably
Speaker 1: genuinely were rooting for me. And like genuinely were like,
Speaker 1: this would be so fun probably to have another gay
Speaker 1: in the group. Maybe Matt is actually funny. We don't know.
Speaker 2: We were not at the closet at the time.
Speaker 1: No, And so then I was like when you left,
Speaker 1: I was like a little bit nervous because I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: Bowen's on the group, like you had a little bit
Speaker 1: of status over me there. So then when I got
Speaker 1: cut the first round by I'm gonna say it, Emilie
Speaker 1: Schmidt and Hilly Hepworth and we love them, but they
Speaker 1: cut my ass. And I believe and and Dresden may
Speaker 1: have been involved.
Speaker 2: I think Anna wanted to keep you up.
Speaker 1: Then you weren't in my room, and I remember you
Speaker 1: told me later like, oh, I was so disappointed, But
Speaker 1: I had literally no say because I wasn't in your
Speaker 1: audition and you were just cut cut to the next
Speaker 1: day the sketch audition went totally different. But the truth
Speaker 1: is Boon Yang was not rude. I just play into
Speaker 1: that because I am being Honesty's one right now when
Speaker 1: I say I just like to tease my sister.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but sometimes there the truth and I never
Speaker 2: want to keep you from teasing your sister. But some
Speaker 2: people really do take that narrative and run with that
Speaker 2: and they go that they think that.
Speaker 1: You were actually a cun to me on the day.
Speaker 1: I understand. Yes, groups people are true.
Speaker 2: People are like, why were you mean to Matt when
Speaker 2: you have I promised you I wasn't I know?
Speaker 1: He came over of his own accord. He said this
Speaker 1: is he may have said some some variation of one
Speaker 1: thing I won't back down on. Okay, you may have
Speaker 1: said some variation of I heard you're really funny. You
Speaker 1: may have said some variation of that.
Speaker 2: Sure, and like me at eighteen nineteen years old, yeah,
Speaker 2: fuck me, that sucks.
Speaker 1: But whatever, that is the truth. Okay, that is the truth.
Speaker 1: That one was actually a sweetheart. The truth is Bowen
Speaker 1: Yang is a sweetheart and that's actually really coach to
Speaker 1: number thirty.
Speaker 2: The truth is, well, now you're like over correcting into
Speaker 2: irony and it sounds like.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you guys, he's actually so nice, like.
Speaker 2: Stupid stupid girl. Anyway, So just to put a cap
Speaker 2: on it, Zelda best gaming experience ever maybe for the
Speaker 2: rest of my life. Diablo four came out. It's a
Speaker 2: little tough, it's a weird game. The breviews are okay, Blizzard,
Speaker 2: the company Activision Blizzard, the company that has made these
Speaker 2: games since the nineties, has been in a lot of
Speaker 2: weird shit and like the culture there was, you know,
Speaker 2: very toxic, and people left and people did all these
Speaker 2: shitty things there. And then you have Final Fantasy sixteen
Speaker 2: coming out Pride Week, which is cruel because that is
Speaker 2: a fucking faggot game. Yeah, and then Spider Man two
Speaker 2: comes out in the fall, which is gonna be a
Speaker 2: sleigh because the first one was huge, huge, huge, huge,
Speaker 2: huge game.
Speaker 1: This is a great rundown. I have to ask you,
Speaker 1: did you get back to the theater to see Multiverse?
Speaker 2: I did not. I plan to. This is my week
Speaker 2: of Matt Rogers living where I'm I'm gonna watch as
Speaker 2: much theater as I can. I'm gonna watch as much
Speaker 2: movies as I can. And oh guess what, we can
Speaker 2: announce that we're gonna be on Watch What Happens Live.
Speaker 1: Yes, so exciting.
Speaker 2: Nine a lot happening the next week for your old
Speaker 2: friends Matt and Bowen.
Speaker 1: You have to tell me about paw lives.
Speaker 2: Okay. It is a debut from Selene's song, who wrote
Speaker 2: and directed Korean Canadian American play right. A lot of
Speaker 2: parallels to you know, like the narrative from like moving
Speaker 2: to like Canada and then to the US. Well, I
Speaker 2: don't know, like not parallel, but just I'm just saying
Speaker 2: like it's a film that is and I know, like
Speaker 2: you know, the specific is universal whatever, but like it's
Speaker 2: a film that, without you knowing or realizing, by the
Speaker 2: end you're like, wow, that evoked something so deep within
Speaker 2: my own past history of thinking of like the person
Speaker 2: who like slipped away. You know, it's like it is
Speaker 2: by the end, it is thick where there are these
Speaker 2: shots that like you're not gonna believe it, man, And
Speaker 2: it's just a really spare, elegant, simple, straightforward It's not
Speaker 2: like a film that like works with been like surprise necessarily,
Speaker 2: but it's just like really lovely, delicately handled thing that's
Speaker 2: telling a story that like any single person who's like
Speaker 2: experienced love and maybe has seen it kind of like
Speaker 2: drift Away is going to be affected.
Speaker 1: By Oh I'm so excited and happy to hear this, Gretuly. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean this woman is a fucking force, like from
Speaker 2: high maintenance to like rush, She's like done like I
Speaker 2: think her like selection of projects, and like her range,
Speaker 2: and like her whole, her whole resume that she's building
Speaker 2: now and that she's like.
Speaker 1: She's on my favorite show, she's on the morning show.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you got to catch up.
Speaker 2: I looked into my sister's eyes in London and I said,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna catch up. I'm gonna watch it with my
Speaker 2: sisters this season.
Speaker 1: I believe you're gonna get especially now with the added
Speaker 1: impetus of the Greta Lee sort of renaissance that we're
Speaker 1: going to be entering.
Speaker 2: What a stacked cast, truly a stacked cast of the Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: I mean I'm excited for it to come back.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Waits, who's the big get this season? Is there a
Speaker 2: big get this?
Speaker 1: John Hamm himself, that's right, John, Oh my god, John
Speaker 1: ham Of course, Juliana Margleys will be returning to the cast.
Speaker 1: It's such I cannot wait. I cannot wait.
Speaker 2: Now is this the first season after COVID?
Speaker 1: So last season it ended with her basically dying and
Speaker 1: becoming Joe Rogan. She's dying of COVID and she gets
Speaker 1: a streaming show and she becomes like a radicalized you know,
Speaker 1: talking head and not a Newswoman anymore. Jennifer Anist is,
Speaker 1: of course, And so that's sort of where we left.
Speaker 1: It was like COVID was very much killing the girls.
Speaker 1: Right now, we're gonna come back, and I think it's
Speaker 1: going to be more in the review mirror if I
Speaker 1: had to.
Speaker 2: Guess, yeah, you don't think like the show owners are like,
Speaker 2: let's just keep COVID in the atmosphere.
Speaker 1: Now looking back, like the way people have decided to
Speaker 1: deal with COVID, like and just like that basically being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's over. Remember that was crazy anyway, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: saw bird brunching and all sitting here a big deal
Speaker 1: at all. Well, anyway, what should we talk about? You know,
Speaker 1: that's not COVID because it's over.
Speaker 2: But you know, I respect that in hindsight, because the
Speaker 2: New York that Sex and the City has always presented
Speaker 2: has been a fantasy, and that is seen and that
Speaker 2: is the version of it. Just like that, that is
Speaker 2: like this perfectly idealized.
Speaker 1: Version of you. It's a Sheena say of Sheen good
Speaker 1: as gold, good as gold. I'm literally well and I
Speaker 1: just turned off the episode because you were talking about
Speaker 1: it the other day and I had never seen it,
Speaker 1: but the episode of Sheena's wedding.
Speaker 2: An you freak bit oh the wedding for the first
Speaker 2: on the wedding.
Speaker 1: Wow, that wedding planner really was When you said she
Speaker 1: was a you did not lie? That was So she is.
Speaker 2: We must find her because she will. She she deserves
Speaker 2: an award after she deserves a Culture Award speaking I'm
Speaker 2: a ten person.
Speaker 1: Yeah what Tina. She is nominated for the Tina's Herner
Speaker 1: Legend Award, which by the way, was also named that
Speaker 1: last year. Okay, We've always had a category called the
Speaker 1: Tina Turner Legend Award, and that just goes to show
Speaker 1: what a legend she was. Talk about the legend because
Speaker 1: we have not touched on on this podcast that she
Speaker 1: has gone. The legend that is Tina rest in peace.
Speaker 2: I mean every thread of like music that like is
Speaker 2: still woven into everyone today is like fucking made by her.
Speaker 2: She was at the fucking spinning wheel whatever this metaphor is.
Speaker 1: She was at the spinning wheel. Tina was at the
Speaker 1: spinning wheel, and that's what she wi a culture number five.
Speaker 1: Tina was at the spinning wheel. You know, Beyonce, you
Speaker 1: watch her. You watch Old Tina, it's like you wouldn't
Speaker 1: have Beyonce without Tina Tina. I mean, if you watch
Speaker 1: the Tina documentary. I did an episode of my HBO
Speaker 1: maximum oh yeadcast about Tina. That woman was really that
Speaker 1: was like that was a total I was at rock
Speaker 1: bottom reinvention that she needed to do, and it was
Speaker 1: like to watch her create who she was. She created
Speaker 1: like her own stardom and then occupied that and like
Speaker 1: it was just unbelievable what she was able to do
Speaker 1: in terms of how low she was.
Speaker 2: Right just rewrote the whole like dark past of it,
Speaker 2: Like what a what a reclamation? What a fucking like
Speaker 2: I met a loss of what to say, just because
Speaker 2: it's like she seems.
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, like someone that would never die.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, and yet it's like, besides the
Speaker 2: actual tragedy of like her life, Like what I loved
Speaker 2: about the documentary was that like by the end, she
Speaker 2: just seemed like happy and she was in a loving
Speaker 2: marriage and like, you know, yeah, she earned that.
Speaker 1: I always say, like I would have really wished to
Speaker 1: have seen her in concert one of those last tours
Speaker 1: that she did, because one of the things I'm always
Speaker 1: trying to remind myself, is you have to like see
Speaker 1: these icons while you still can, Like that's why I'm
Speaker 1: seeing so many shows this year. I have the time,
Speaker 1: I'm able to go. Let's just get something out of
Speaker 1: the way, because there are these rumors right that that
Speaker 1: Beyonce had like broken her angle six months ago, or
Speaker 1: like she sustained some injury, so that in the beginning
Speaker 1: of the Renaissance tour it looked like to some people
Speaker 1: like I was a little marked, or that it was
Speaker 1: pulled back, which by the way, would be fine totally
Speaker 1: because it's still at such a high level, but people
Speaker 1: were saying it looked like there was an issue. I
Speaker 1: didn't fucking notice any encumberment when I was there. Live
Speaker 1: in the flesh, I'll say that it felt like a
Speaker 1: fucking Beyonce show. It's also a party, so you're not
Speaker 1: like necessarily needing her to be breaking her ass in half,
Speaker 1: like it like just giving you Beyonce two thousand and
Speaker 1: four at all times, like firing off like a machine gun,
Speaker 1: Like she's got a lot of incredible dancers, Like the
Speaker 1: visuals are unbelievable. The music is a party, like get
Speaker 1: out of here with she's not giving out of.
Speaker 2: Here, like get out of here, and like, I broke
Speaker 2: this down and I don't people can disagree with me,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to bring in people where it feels
Speaker 2: very transparent. But I'm like people are still asking me like, oh,
Speaker 2: between the errors and Renaissance, like which one is better?
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is the thing. And then I brought
Speaker 2: a Gaga into this, and then I brought on Ariana
Speaker 2: because I'm like, it's okay to get different verticals or
Speaker 2: different like things out of these different people. Like for Beyonce,
Speaker 2: she's so clearly influenced by prayers, by Tina, by like
Speaker 2: all these people. So like I think Beyonce is a
Speaker 2: student of performance and in this yes, Taylor is a
Speaker 2: student of songwriting. Gaga is a student of pop culture.
Speaker 2: She's giving you jazz standards, She's giving you fucking like dance,
Speaker 2: she's giving you power ballads. Like she's giving you every
Speaker 2: little facet of the of the crystal of pop culture.
Speaker 2: And then like if someone like Ariana, who like she's
Speaker 2: a student of vocals and she she's like I learned
Speaker 2: how to riff from Mariah and Whitney and Beyonce, like
Speaker 2: that is how I learned to saying that is how
Speaker 2: I learned to perform. It's like any single person is
Speaker 2: going to have their one beam of light that they
Speaker 2: like transmit, and that is I love that. I love
Speaker 2: that about like the landscape right now. It's actually great
Speaker 2: that one person isn't everything to everyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, I mean there was this video that I
Speaker 1: sent you just to speak about like what people do.
Speaker 1: I sent Poe in a video of Pink is on tour. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so Pink during so what in her like arena tour
Speaker 1: gets I really don't know how to describe it other
Speaker 1: than to say she gets catapulted into the sky, spinning,
Speaker 1: twirling and flying doing flips successively to the back of
Speaker 1: the stadium from the front, from the stage to the
Speaker 1: back of the damn arena. And I'm telling you it's
Speaker 1: the rig they put the camera on so they can
Speaker 1: take like aerial like videos of the fucking football game,
Speaker 1: like the kicks and everything. They put Pink in that
Speaker 1: contraption and shot her into the air. Mama, Katie, can
Speaker 1: you believe this?
Speaker 2: Katie?
Speaker 1: Put the baby do? Said? Do I have to see Pink?
Speaker 1: Because if that's happening during so what why is that
Speaker 1: happening during? So what's happening during Who knew what's happening doing?
Speaker 1: Just give me the reason. Just like a picture of girls,
Speaker 1: stupid girls.
Speaker 2: That is stupid in the best way. Her fucking tribute
Speaker 2: shaing into the audience and the audience going a little
Speaker 2: bit silent, being like, oh, like is this okay?
Speaker 1: Posted it the person that posted it with the caption
Speaker 1: this has me crying, And a bunch of consonants.
Speaker 2: That really added A lot of the replies were like,
Speaker 2: Pink has no songs in her catalog that would for
Speaker 2: how this good soup.
Speaker 1: Bad catapulted into the air.
Speaker 2: If she did that during Razor Glass, I would fucking explode.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, that's off the line.
Speaker 1: We're gonna lose on my tonight.
Speaker 2: But why so serious? And then she launches into.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like Glass while that place she's spinning through
Speaker 1: the skies like I love it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm telling you, I need that.
Speaker 1: I mean you. But here's the thing. You have to
Speaker 1: imagine that if so what she gets catapulted into the
Speaker 1: air and I'm saying it again, what happens during those
Speaker 1: other songs? You know what I mean? Like what happens
Speaker 1: during Don't let Me Get Me.
Speaker 2: This woman has been on the silks, swinging around the
Speaker 2: vines of every stadium in this country and world of ours.
Speaker 2: I trust her, she knows what she's doing.
Speaker 1: She's just I read an article after watching that video
Speaker 1: where she said that ariieal stunts keep her humble and said, quote,
Speaker 1: why would I stay on the ground if I don't
Speaker 1: have to? That is an amazing question. Think why would
Speaker 1: I stay on the ground if I don't have to?
Speaker 1: That's actually a really culture number eighty eight. Why would
Speaker 1: I stay on the ground if I don't have to?
Speaker 1: That's an amazing question.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree. Like, this woman wants to feel weightless,
Speaker 2: and she wants us to feel weightless.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 2: The reason that video is getting so much play of
Speaker 2: being like rocketed into the audience is because not a
Speaker 2: single singer is gonna do that.
Speaker 1: I think, can I be honest with you, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be really honest with you. I can see one
Speaker 1: doing it, and her name is Halsey. I can see
Speaker 1: Halsey getting into an era where she's shooting through the air, right.
Speaker 2: But Halsey certainly doesn't have songs that warrant that.
Speaker 1: Either I would say, hey, listen, queen, not yet, not
Speaker 1: yet coming back hard.
Speaker 2: Oh the last Hallsey album was a fucking work of art.
Speaker 1: You know that her country song is one of the
Speaker 1: songs that gets the most play.
Speaker 2: You should be said, yeah, so I'm not a woman,
Speaker 2: I'm a god, so so so so good. But anyway,
Speaker 2: Pink is back and she's been like like the last album,
Speaker 2: we got a lot of play.
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, Pink never really left. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Pink is back, but she never really left. That's a
Speaker 1: real culture number fifty. Pink is back, but she never
Speaker 1: really never really left.
Speaker 2: Wait, did Pink win the tricon word? No Pink one
Speaker 2: video game guard?
Speaker 1: What's a tricon?
Speaker 2: Tricon is one of the tricons? Me on Fire Island, honey,
Speaker 2: what does that mean?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was just doing like an old
Speaker 1: gay joke. Try con tri coon. That sounds like me.
Speaker 2: In the Springs, Yeah, yeah, in the Springs, you know
Speaker 2: the Springs, Disney Springs.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Patrick got back from Iceland and said
Speaker 1: that everywhere is a sauna there.
Speaker 2: The vibe is sauna.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. They said they had the most incredible time,
Speaker 1: and then I thought we must return because you also
Speaker 1: are one with Iceland.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love it there, I love it.
Speaker 1: They're so much Should we do Iceland New Year's one?
Speaker 1: Would it be absolutely freezing?
Speaker 2: Yes, but we'll be fine, like they know how to
Speaker 2: keep like and those people can drink.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is what I want to do. We can
Speaker 1: get people on board to do this, We really could.
Speaker 2: The hotels are really nice, the spas are stunning. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, we have to go. We have to go.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so attracted to the idea of constant daylight,
Speaker 1: but I guess by that time it'll be constant No.
Speaker 2: It'll be constant darkness. But that's kind of a vibe.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a vibe for New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1: Not no, not no, the.
Speaker 2: Way we're thinking about him now.
Speaker 1: We weren't thinking about it before, but we are thinking
Speaker 1: about him now.
Speaker 2: Who I would say, Matt Rogers is a student of
Speaker 2: If any one person is going to occupy everything, it's
Speaker 2: Matt Rogers.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Everything?
Speaker 2: You You are vocals, performance, comedy, absurdity, stupidity, intelligence, Christmas,
Speaker 2: every other day of the year. You are everything. Mama,
Speaker 2: I worship you.
Speaker 1: You are the star of my world.
Speaker 2: Now you I would kill for you.
Speaker 1: Pointing at you, diva waiting at you. Get this screenshot.
Speaker 1: This is the goddamn cover art. This time is the cover. Okay,
Speaker 1: they got it, I think. I mean, if they didn't
Speaker 1: get it, they're fucking fired. Can I say, if they
Speaker 1: didn't get that, they are so fired? Honest has got it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: by the skin of your teeth.
Speaker 2: Damn right, you're right.
Speaker 1: Fuck when they're right.
Speaker 2: Anything else we have to discuss, girl.
Speaker 1: I guess I'll just briefly touch on this. Or should
Speaker 1: I do? I don't think so, honey. Maybe I'll do.
Speaker 1: I don't think so honey. The big news, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're referring to, but well you'll know the
Speaker 1: second I started saying it. This is I don't think money,
Speaker 1: the Star sixty second second where we drag read, go
Speaker 1: off and more. In culture, this.

Speaker 1: Now, I don't think so honey, that I love that
Speaker 1: for you is canceled. This bring it back, Someone bring
Speaker 1: it back. This deserves a second season. And I'm not
Speaker 1: just being selfish about it. No, it deserves a second
Speaker 1: season because I need it. We love the show. It
Speaker 1: deserves to go on. This is stupid. It was warmly
Speaker 1: received and got a lot more fans as it went.
Speaker 1: We need revival for I love that for you. I
Speaker 1: am calling for it. I am on the show now loud.
Speaker 1: I'm quiet, I'm getting loud. We need this show still
Speaker 1: on the air. Do it, put it on Netflix. Peacock,
Speaker 1: where are you now after all the support that I've
Speaker 1: given you seconds, Peacock, Oh, don't make me storm the halls.

Speaker 2: That's one minute. I need to say something right now, Peacock.
Speaker 2: If you don't pick up I love that for you,
Speaker 2: I'm never ever, ever shilling for you again.
Speaker 1: I'm never get it together. Somebody better get it together. Look,

Speaker 1: but I'm saying, somebody better scoop it up or else
Speaker 1: it's gonna be war, and it's let me tell you
Speaker 1: something right now, I am ready fight. It's war at
Speaker 1: this point.
Speaker 2: This is war, and the roots of the grass are
Speaker 2: firmly planted in this movement. Okay, do you.
Speaker 1: Hear me, make noise, get to the streets, get your
Speaker 1: pitchforks lipped.
Speaker 2: Okay, Mi girl giving you iconography week after week, dressed
Speaker 2: in the tightest, most well fitted suits you can possibly
Speaker 2: see on television.
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna say no, You're fucking right.
Speaker 2: Murray Bartlett found Dead was iconic in that show?
Speaker 1: You really were?
Speaker 2: I look at me. You were iconic on that show.
Speaker 1: I was iconic in that show. I deserve to do more.
Speaker 1: Bring it back. You hear my voice, don't laugh, don't laugh.
Speaker 2: You do deserve to do more.
Speaker 1: I bring it back and producer Anosaurus. The discourse is toxic.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, the discourse isn't toxic enough. We
Speaker 2: need to make it. We need to add poison to
Speaker 2: the well. Because ladies scare these people like you want
Speaker 2: to cancel. I love that for you.
Speaker 1: This is war.
Speaker 2: This is war.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking this one laying down. I'm not taking
Speaker 1: this one laying down. I'm not taking this one link
Speaker 1: down like I took Game Show. I'm not taking this
Speaker 1: one laying down like I took hot dog. I'm not
Speaker 1: taking this one lying down. I'm dying for this one.
Speaker 2: I'm throwing myself on the tracks with the ship.
Speaker 1: Revive it now.
Speaker 2: Revive it.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, Queena, are you ready?
Speaker 2: I'm ready.
Speaker 1: This is the moment you've been waiting for. This is
Speaker 1: the moment when Bowen Yang dost is. I don't think
Speaker 1: so honey, and his time starts now.
Speaker 2: I don't think so honey. Carpeted gay clubs? What are
Speaker 2: you doing? I had to think to myself. I went,
Speaker 2: I haven't been back to la in like a year.
Speaker 2: I wonder why. I guess it's because I've been working
Speaker 2: in other places. I guess it's because my two friend
Speaker 2: is by coastal right now. But then I went, oh, no,
Speaker 2: I know why. It's because fucking app bar has carpet.
Speaker 2: I say, no, you can't have You can't have a
Speaker 2: party called Bears in space and then also have carpet.
Speaker 2: It's too much, too much, quirky on quirky. Okay, you
Speaker 2: can't do it. I can't handle it. Okay, what is this?
Speaker 2: What do you think you are? The Tower of terror?
Speaker 2: Get the carpet out, fift The only reason you should
Speaker 2: have carpet is if you're a grandmother, your grandmother, there's
Speaker 2: neighbors that there's neighbors downstairs who don't want to hear
Speaker 2: the footsteps. You know, if you're the Tower of Terror,
Speaker 2: which by the way, is at risk for being destroyed.
Speaker 1: And that's what is it? Actually at risk for being destroyed?
Speaker 1: You feel?
Speaker 2: I feel like it is. I feel like there are
Speaker 2: movements happening to make sure that it is preserved in Orlando, listen,
Speaker 2: really think it's it's on the chopping block, and some
Speaker 2: people out there will not have it, including me and you.
Speaker 1: We will fight like you're going to cancel the Tower
Speaker 1: of Terror like you canceled. I love that this is war.
Speaker 1: This is what's actually warm.
Speaker 2: I am my fair and though here's the thing, I
Speaker 2: love Actbar, I actually love actpar Can. I just be
Speaker 2: clear to everyone who has a stake in that place
Speaker 2: loves going there. I I'm with you, but I go
Speaker 2: sometimes I go, why is their carpet?
Speaker 1: I had so much fun there this weekend and I
Speaker 1: just have to say that La Pride Weekend at Acbar
Speaker 1: was a moment bears in space. I love and I
Speaker 1: went there after Saturday's La Pride to debrief Mariah, and
Speaker 1: that was really fun. The dance floor was actually going off,
Speaker 1: and that is the part of the place that's not carpeted.
Speaker 1: So you know, here's the thing. I do think that
Speaker 1: the carpeting and acbar like adds to its charm. That's
Speaker 1: sort of like den feel. I feel like the carpeting
Speaker 1: it's really helping me with that.
Speaker 2: I think it's like take one thing off before you
Speaker 2: leave the house. I think I think the lighting is
Speaker 2: a plus, the decor on the wall a plus. Everything
Speaker 2: about it is perfect. There are things that cling cling
Speaker 2: on the rugs, on the carpets. It's just a little
Speaker 2: bit more hygienic of an experience if you just take
Speaker 2: it out.
Speaker 1: I hear you, I he That's why I kind of
Speaker 1: like going during the week sometimes because then it's like
Speaker 1: we're cozy vibes and we're not noticing that like things
Speaker 1: are spilling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but things spill, but you notice that things are
Speaker 2: spilling on the weekend because it happens it's a rug.
Speaker 2: When I was growing up, my sister and I thought
Speaker 2: our heads would get cut off because she was painting
Speaker 2: her toenails in the bathroom and I knocked over the
Speaker 2: nail polish and it went on the rug and we
Speaker 2: had to take bleach and scrub it away before our
Speaker 2: parents got home, and they still noticed. It is the
Speaker 2: most stressful situation in the world to have liquid on carpet,
Speaker 2: and you're inviting that to happen every two minutes.
Speaker 1: I mean literally, Mother. Where I sit and where I
Speaker 1: look at you week in and week out on this
Speaker 1: podcast is also where I sit and work. And I
Speaker 1: am sitting on a couch that is placed on a carpet.
Speaker 2: Is your apartment a gay bar?
Speaker 1: No, I'm not saying that, but I am saying I'm
Speaker 1: identifying with the spills on carpets because I have to
Speaker 1: tell you, I say, your eyes sometimes dring coffee, and
Speaker 1: there was a day I did spill a hot coffee
Speaker 1: all over this carpet. So I'm sitting on top of
Speaker 1: a very stained carpet and I don't like it one bit.
Speaker 2: Unseemly, unseemly, And I hope you never have every king
Speaker 2: in the East Side scene of gay night life at
Speaker 2: your apartment, because guess what, they're all there at acbar
Speaker 2: looking at stains so.
Speaker 1: True and feel it at home here to all the
Speaker 1: East gays of La come over over see my stain. Now.
