Speaker 1: Look man, oh I see you? Why why and look
Speaker 1: over there? How is that culture? Yes? Goodness, sang Dons falling. Wow,
Speaker 1: I feel truly unmuzzled and I feel like a lightness. Deviously,
Speaker 1: it feels very good to be back, to be back.
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna get down to brass tacks. We've
Speaker 1: already recorded a couple episodes and they're good, and they're
Speaker 1: good at our new home here at I heart. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know where you love her. This is where we're
Speaker 1: at ended, and honestly, we're so happy. Everyone here is
Speaker 1: the best, the best. Engineer Doug is in there, slaying it.
Speaker 1: Engineer Doug is slaying it. Head of content Hans, Yes,
Speaker 1: Head of content Hans. Producer Anna, absolutely incredible. Executive producer.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, and that that's the thing is actually
Speaker 1: it's real culture number ten, executive producer, Anna. I mean
Speaker 1: that was disrespect full of me, very disrespectful. I just
Speaker 1: love the team here so much. The snacks and the
Speaker 1: stalked the house down boots. Oh yeah, and there's string cheese.
Speaker 1: String cheese, which is fatal for me. Actually not because
Speaker 1: I have anything against that. I just been once I
Speaker 1: started can't stop it's like that thing you pop, like
Speaker 1: the pringles exactly like you know for me, you know
Speaker 1: what the thing is for me? The baby bells, those
Speaker 1: little cheese. They're freakishly addictive, so addictive, and they they
Speaker 1: really revisit me at the most, at my most vulnerable times.
Speaker 1: I had no idea what they even were until I
Speaker 1: came to l A and started working in writer's rooms,
Speaker 1: and they're like a fixture there, these baby bells and
Speaker 1: they pop off and they pop off, and you look
Speaker 1: at them and you're like, what's this wax? What is
Speaker 1: this cheese? I don't know. And then once you figure
Speaker 1: it out, honey, it's like it's like riding a bike.
Speaker 1: It's likece you figure it out, you're doing it. That's
Speaker 1: actually a culture number nineteen. Yeah, it's like riding a bike.
Speaker 1: Once you figure it out, you're okay. We would we
Speaker 1: should bring everyone up to speed, all the readers to
Speaker 1: speed on our new home. So yeah, I mean, we
Speaker 1: weren't kidding when we told you we weren't sure where
Speaker 1: we were going to land after our last episode. It
Speaker 1: took a lot of thought to disfigure out where our
Speaker 1: new home was going to be. But we're happy. And
Speaker 1: we're recording in Los Angeles right now. So we've answered
Speaker 1: the question that you picked two that we floated to everyone.
Speaker 1: We decided that it is best for my sister Bowen
Speaker 1: and I to be in the same city looking at
Speaker 1: each other in the damn eyes. We don't want to
Speaker 1: be trifling with this across the country. Wait, what did
Speaker 1: you say it again? Non? So? Yeah, we lost, we lost, Matt.
Speaker 1: We can make the commitment to fly to each other. Yes,
Speaker 1: like you have made the commitment this time, and I
Speaker 1: will come to you next month and you will do
Speaker 1: it in kind. And we backlog Mother and we backlock Mother.
Speaker 1: But that's not to say it won't always be topical. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I think this episode, this is our our fun little
Speaker 1: return reunion. Um, we're gonna we're gonna talk talk about
Speaker 1: some culture that we've messed. We basically have been having
Speaker 1: a pain in our stomach's, hearts and brains because we
Speaker 1: haven't been able to talk about all the cults that's
Speaker 1: been happening. And I just want to say one one
Speaker 1: thing before we um begin the episode. I have to
Speaker 1: say something. I'm very angry at some listeners the readers
Speaker 1: because they have been saying we don't believe Matt and
Speaker 1: Bonon that they're going to come back. And this was
Speaker 1: a betrayal because I have done nothing but be supportive.
Speaker 1: I have done nothing but be supportive the readers, and
Speaker 1: for you to get in my d m s and
Speaker 1: get into my instagrams and say Bowen won't respond to me,
Speaker 1: but I don't believe. Well, they threw you under the bus.
Speaker 1: Damn what did they say? Damn they said? Damn they said,
Speaker 1: they said, well, Bowen did not respond to my d M.
Speaker 1: So I'm asking you, by the way, thank you for
Speaker 1: letting me know, I'm officially the second choice. And they
Speaker 1: said that's not it's actually really rude. And I'm and
Speaker 1: I'm angry at the readers, and we're and you're angry,
Speaker 1: and I'm angry at them and furious, I would say,
Speaker 1: I'm angry and the addition furious, and here I am,
Speaker 1: and I say to them, you know what, I hope
Speaker 1: it's okay that I'm back, that you were wrong. This
Speaker 1: is the thing. It's meaningful when you make the decision
Speaker 1: to believe podcasters absolutely for you too, not not give
Speaker 1: us the benefit of the d disgusting. Well, guess what,
Speaker 1: I'm actually vitamin D deficient and I found that out
Speaker 1: and it was really painful. It was really painful to
Speaker 1: find that out. So then what's what's the what's the
Speaker 1: what's the course of action for you to take a
Speaker 1: huge pill in the morning. And I've also gone non prep.
Speaker 1: So that's two pills, yes, dask O VI four prep
Speaker 1: and I have to swallow two large pills. And your criticism.
Speaker 1: I am having a very difficult time and I haven't
Speaker 1: been able to talk about culture. I see you genuinely hurt.
Speaker 1: I see I'm genuinely hurting. But this is the thing
Speaker 1: we will never do wrong by the reader. Oh truly,
Speaker 1: this is this is our life. This is our life.
Speaker 1: Our life is to connect with you the cultures that
Speaker 1: I have missed this so much. It's really got to say.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm not actually mad. We're not actually mad.
Speaker 1: And we're doing this episode especially for everyone. We're going
Speaker 1: to do a culture catch up, culture catch up, culture
Speaker 1: catch up. I mean, if you want to know our
Speaker 1: thoughts on on on the things that we've missed in
Speaker 1: the last nine ten weeks. Um, A lot has happened.
Speaker 1: A lot has actually happened. It's actually been an incredible
Speaker 1: time for culture in both negative and positive ways. Of course,
Speaker 1: the world continues to absolutely burn, but there's been some
Speaker 1: real moments of coach that have shown through, that have
Speaker 1: cut through the terror. Yeah. I mean there's and I
Speaker 1: have some stuff to say about some of the terror
Speaker 1: going on, some of the fear that's being you know, spread.
Speaker 1: It's great to know that you have something to say.
Speaker 1: I have something to say about. I think we look
Speaker 1: to you, everyone looks to me. So I think that
Speaker 1: if we're going to start this culture catch up, yeah,
Speaker 1: I I would personally move that we just dive into
Speaker 1: one topic head on. Okay. I have a connection to
Speaker 1: and you have a connection to Taylor Taylor. Her name
Speaker 1: is Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, and she actually she brush
Speaker 1: back onto the scene with a Netflix documentary. It's called
Speaker 1: Miss Americana. Miss Americana, with the accompanying single Only the Young,
Speaker 1: Only the Young, And I just want to throw it
Speaker 1: to Bowen. Yes, your review of Miss Americana, how did
Speaker 1: you feel? What were you what were you thinking? You know,
Speaker 1: it's really stuck with me. An effective, effective documentary, I
Speaker 1: would say, very specific, Yeah, very specific window into like
Speaker 1: her life in a way that feels intentional, like you
Speaker 1: could tell that she I thought back to that conversation
Speaker 1: that she has with her dad and her mom's it's
Speaker 1: Taylor and her mom sitting next to each other and
Speaker 1: they're trying to convince Taylor's father Um that she should
Speaker 1: post this um endorsement endorse Well, were you know Um
Speaker 1: of the Tennessee of it all? The Senate race, the
Speaker 1: Senate race, it all very moving, very effective. But then
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, but then they know that there's cameras
Speaker 1: in front of them, and do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And we can talk about this, and I'm sure you
Speaker 1: you have something to say about that, but it's like
Speaker 1: it's I am holding too sort of multitudinous thoughts in
Speaker 1: my head where it's like I enjoyed it. I gave
Speaker 1: a nice glimpse into her process and and and sort
Speaker 1: of her struggles, and she has a very particular set
Speaker 1: of struggles. But then it's also like I also see it.
Speaker 1: It's like a very very sort of cleverly timed pr
Speaker 1: move as well. Yeah, I mean every single thing she
Speaker 1: does I always think of as being calculated, but also
Speaker 1: I act think I think it's fine and that's like
Speaker 1: part of being a huge brand because of course you're
Speaker 1: going to calculate your moves. Of course the thing, but
Speaker 1: just fine, and like you have to calculate your moves
Speaker 1: when you when everything that you do is scrutinize. And
Speaker 1: I also thought to myself throughout the documentary watching it,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, she's on camera's on camera. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she knows. She's like she knows. It's like, of course
Speaker 1: she's gonna know. She's on camera. And every time I
Speaker 1: reminded myself, like, well, you know, don't believe this all
Speaker 1: the way because you know, she's a documentary and she's
Speaker 1: putting it out and it's part of her brand. I'm
Speaker 1: like yeah, blah blah blah. It's like, also, you have
Speaker 1: to give her she is also a human being and
Speaker 1: in addition to being a brand. I really thought it
Speaker 1: made a lot of sense to me that she had
Speaker 1: sort of a light. It made a lot of sense
Speaker 1: to me that she felt like frozen in time by
Speaker 1: the Kanye That must have been freakish. And also constant
Speaker 1: reminders about what happened with the Dixie Chicks when they
Speaker 1: made a political statement. Now, of course you want to
Speaker 1: think of yourself that if you ever get in a
Speaker 1: position of power and you're able to make a political statement,
Speaker 1: that you will do the right thing. But culturally and
Speaker 1: you know, financially, she's in an extremely different situation, and
Speaker 1: so she had seen it really not work out for
Speaker 1: someone where it was a similar situation, and so I
Speaker 1: thought that it really tracked narratively to see she was
Speaker 1: frozen in time by the Kanye thing that freaked the
Speaker 1: funk out and she could never get a real control on,
Speaker 1: like a good narrative now because to this day it's
Speaker 1: like this, because the ground keeps shifting underneath her and
Speaker 1: it's still a Kanye tailor visual tailor thing to this day,
Speaker 1: which is nuts. She never asked for it until she
Speaker 1: did likely um yeah, yeah, yeah. But I thought that
Speaker 1: in conjunction with the trial being the light bulb moment
Speaker 1: for her, I really understood that because it's not it
Speaker 1: wasn't about it wasn't even really about her assault that
Speaker 1: made her say I have to speak up. It was
Speaker 1: the specifically the tru where they had photographic evidence of
Speaker 1: her being assaulted, and witnesses and still people in this courtroom,
Speaker 1: men in this courtroom were like, well, why didn't you
Speaker 1: say anything at the time, or was it really a groping, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: And I bought all of it. I bought all of it,
Speaker 1: and truly, like, of course, it was a light bulb
Speaker 1: moment for the trial to be that sort of catalyst,
Speaker 1: because for her to be like, oh, I'm famous and
Speaker 1: I have evidence and all these things going for me,
Speaker 1: but this is still a shitty fucking right, And it's
Speaker 1: got to be incredibly enlightening in like a very dark
Speaker 1: way to know that you could be one, literally one
Speaker 1: of the most famous people in the world and have
Speaker 1: all the evidence you need and they're still going to
Speaker 1: be like the raised eyebrow at you. That's had to
Speaker 1: be very very enlightening. And I mean study and I
Speaker 1: watched it together, and the thing that we were both
Speaker 1: struck by was at the end, towards the end, she goes,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm in my thirties now, and there's
Speaker 1: only so much more time that the world will allow
Speaker 1: me to be success success, which is and the way
Speaker 1: she she made a face about it like and I
Speaker 1: know I might, and you know, it's right, really crazy,
Speaker 1: and also you have to you have to think like
Speaker 1: she probably also knew that when she was weighing whether
Speaker 1: or not to speak out about her political beliefs, because
Speaker 1: it's like she is a certain kind of artist, and
Speaker 1: you know what's so different when you say anything and
Speaker 1: you're a woman, So definitely all that, and I was
Speaker 1: really on her side personally now now professionally with the
Speaker 1: kind of music she's making, like, for example, this song
Speaker 1: Only the Young. Another thing I picked up on in
Speaker 1: this documentary is I think she needs to shake up
Speaker 1: her producers because I think she's got yes people. She's
Speaker 1: got yes people she the you know, the that are
Speaker 1: hurting her, you think yes, because I think Only the
Speaker 1: Young needed a lyrics pass bad, because I mean, if
Speaker 1: the documentary is to be believed, she just kind of
Speaker 1: notes apps that for about ten minutes and was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I've got it. Only the Young can Run. Like there's
Speaker 1: a moment and where she's writing it, and she said
Speaker 1: only the Young can Run and she makes a face
Speaker 1: like I'm sort of behind this, and her producer you
Speaker 1: hear him go yeah, and it's like no, dude, Like
Speaker 1: that's that doesn't really make sense. Can run? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's a call to action like people running for office.
Speaker 1: Maybe I just think, like because there's weird, like like
Speaker 1: there's not clarity about it. It could have just used
Speaker 1: another lyrics pass or like looked at the song one
Speaker 1: more time, because I think the song is like songs
Speaker 1: great great, just lyrically it's like this is like kind
Speaker 1: of weird and could have used another past likewise the
Speaker 1: song me wait. But interestingly though, and like other people
Speaker 1: have observed this in the writing of it, it sounds
Speaker 1: like a very compelling song, and that's another part of it.
Speaker 1: I was like, I can see why I love watching
Speaker 1: her process. It's incredible because she's actually doing yes, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like you're actually watching her work
Speaker 1: and it actually like has reminded me of when I've
Speaker 1: seen this happen or have have done it. Like I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: she is so uniquely good at this, and I buy
Speaker 1: this percent and love watching her process. And I really
Speaker 1: like her bts when she like notes Apple or when
Speaker 1: she voice records herself and deluxe albums. I love that ship.
Speaker 1: So my thing was the videos during reputation, when she
Speaker 1: put out videos of her like trying to crack the
Speaker 1: chord progressions and the melanies and the lyrics too gorgeous.
Speaker 1: It's like over like the course of like ten weeks,
Speaker 1: she's recording herself in front of a keyboard at a piano,
Speaker 1: being like and then she's just like, it's so interesting.
Speaker 1: So I was watching her writing me and you see
Speaker 1: them get excited and they're like, it's a hit. It's
Speaker 1: a hit, we know it. And then I'm like, but
Speaker 1: what did happen? Because it's between Maybe it was like
Speaker 1: an imaging thing. Maybe it was the fact that it
Speaker 1: was the first thing we heard something about it, and
Speaker 1: maybe it was just did too much, but like something
Speaker 1: about it, like it's just not one of her, It's
Speaker 1: not Cannon for her, for not Cannon. It's it felt
Speaker 1: like an anomaly. Um. Yeah, but you and I talked
Speaker 1: checked in on Lover the other day. You're still listening
Speaker 1: to it, listening to it. I'm listening to Cruel Summer
Speaker 1: basically every day. I mean, for me, I would have
Speaker 1: and this guy get us into another topic. I would
Speaker 1: have voted for Lover for Song of the Year just
Speaker 1: because for the Grammys, which it didn't win. It was
Speaker 1: a bad Guy by Billie Eilish along with everything else.
Speaker 1: Because I feel like when you're giving an Awards song
Speaker 1: of the Year, that should mean like you're introducing a
Speaker 1: beautiful new song that can be performed by many people
Speaker 1: to the cannon and Billie Eilish Bad Guy is like,
Speaker 1: sure it was an important record of the year, like
Speaker 1: it says two like doubt, yes, but in terms of
Speaker 1: like song of the year, in terms of like lyrical
Speaker 1: construction and like like actually being a song, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And I think that Lover is like such a gorgeous
Speaker 1: In Billy's defense, I feel like there was other There
Speaker 1: are other songs on UM on that album that are
Speaker 1: beautiful works of songwriting. Not incredible, yes, incredible. And she
Speaker 1: did sweep the damn Grammys. She swept. She is She
Speaker 1: is an icon. She is a nicon. She is the moment.
Speaker 1: She is the moment. Darling, um are we? Are we?
Speaker 1: Anything else you want to say about Miss American? Miss
Speaker 1: Americana was probably one of the better pop star documentaries. Sure,
Speaker 1: I think I'd rank it above two is a little
Speaker 1: a little scattered. It's a little scattered and like it
Speaker 1: was fascinating to watch, like her physical struggles, but then
Speaker 1: I could sort of do without the like her smoking
Speaker 1: a cigarette talking about Madonna. You know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, okay, Stephanie Germanada. It is that definitely
Speaker 1: Germanano was in some ways a little more aware that
Speaker 1: the camera was in front of her him right right,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Um, oh, well we've got to
Speaker 1: we got a choosing adventure to be talking about Gaga.
Speaker 1: Do we talk about Grammys? Well, it looks like we
Speaker 1: can talk about what we're here. We're here at Gaga.
Speaker 1: We're feeling excited, We're very excited for New Gaga. Stupid
Speaker 1: Love is you know, I love very good and miss
Speaker 1: Josh Sharpen Aaron Jackson saying stupid love and in a fun,
Speaker 1: little like broken down version for all people to open
Speaker 1: with that. For the Valentine's Day show perfect I would
Speaker 1: love So fun, they dressed up as cupids and they
Speaker 1: sang stupid Love and live band like guitar drums sounds
Speaker 1: so good comes up. But musically You're like, oh, yes,
Speaker 1: this is a very well constructed So I'm excited. I'm
Speaker 1: really pumped. I want her to be dancing again. I
Speaker 1: want her to absolutely stomp the yard. I want I
Speaker 1: want her to sort of create an army of gaze. Again,
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this insane to watch, not in
Speaker 1: terms of like it's insane that Gaga is doing this
Speaker 1: because it's like crack pop Gaga what we've always expected,
Speaker 1: but it's fascinating to see her post Star is Born
Speaker 1: kind of dig her heels deeper into like the weird,
Speaker 1: the weirdness that Gaga is to revisit like Gaga being
Speaker 1: Gaga in a post Star is Born world where she
Speaker 1: was like tearfully accepting awards all season like, and we
Speaker 1: saw this other side to her. It's just so funny
Speaker 1: because you're like, oh, you're truly nuts. No, But I
Speaker 1: don't think it's that she's nuts. It's that it just
Speaker 1: reinforces this whole her whole sort of like her whole
Speaker 1: organizing principle around her fame, which is to perform performed,
Speaker 1: and her doing the award circuit last year was her
Speaker 1: performing like oh my god, I can't believe I want
Speaker 1: like she Do you think that's true? Yes, I absolutely
Speaker 1: think that's true. Her just performing the funk out of
Speaker 1: that trope of like a famous person. She's just she's trying,
Speaker 1: She's putting on different fame drag. That's all she's been
Speaker 1: doing her whole career. That's a fucking amazing take. I
Speaker 1: think that that's because even like the classic screen couple
Speaker 1: of it all, Yes, that's that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1: Her and Bradley like this man like every speech was
Speaker 1: her being like and Bradley you believe you know, and
Speaker 1: then the people think it's a hundred people. It's like,
Speaker 1: it's so, it's so deliberate. It has to be deliberate.
Speaker 1: She is a genius. She's a genius. And for her
Speaker 1: and her doing Enigma and her doing this Super Saturday thing,
Speaker 1: it's like, it's so I don't know what the references exactly,
Speaker 1: but it's her truly being like I mean, she was
Speaker 1: back to like dick out, have some big cocks and
Speaker 1: South out, bath fast, get your dicks out. I had
Speaker 1: it got big cock here in Northern Ireland. It's I
Speaker 1: miss Fay Monster Gaga so much any too. I hope
Speaker 1: we get it back. I want her to get a
Speaker 1: crazy as. I want her coming out like in Cover.
Speaker 1: I want her coming out on the red carpet wearing
Speaker 1: you know, two band aids and a cork and covering
Speaker 1: herself and catch up and being like this is for
Speaker 1: the Middle East, Like I want I want that insanity.
Speaker 1: I want like messaging that's messy and fucking crazy. And
Speaker 1: I think it's genius that she performed Starlet. Yes, Oscar
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you, for her to actually give a
Speaker 1: performance that was that good, like the performance and Amance. Yes,
Speaker 1: because she's stunning in Stars Warring. And when she got
Speaker 1: nominated for the Oscar, no one was like. Everyone was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's great. Yeah, You're like, yeah, I give it. I
Speaker 1: mean even though that is such a in many ways
Speaker 1: a sloppy film, and she's wonderfully slopping. I mean, like
Speaker 1: seeing Ninet, what is it? It's likely improvised, it's so
Speaker 1: and it's but it's so good, and you're like, what,
Speaker 1: get out? Honestly, get out, get out, Get the funk out. Also,
Speaker 1: I will say this, this is shameful. Right after this
Speaker 1: and we're back. The other day, I tweeted, why did
Speaker 1: you do that? Do that? Do that? Do that? Do that?
Speaker 1: To me? It was my most successful tweet I've had
Speaker 1: in months. I was I read that tweet from the
Speaker 1: last culture his account and I cried in bad It's
Speaker 1: I don't know what about it from me? Why did
Speaker 1: you do that? To do that? Do that? Do that
Speaker 1: to me? It's iconic culture. It's so fun. And we're
Speaker 1: standing here in still talking about stars Born and that's
Speaker 1: something my favorite partist, Diane Warren being like, know you
Speaker 1: guys that we were trying to write it like a
Speaker 1: good bops. They were like all reports, like we love
Speaker 1: that this song is horseship. Can you talk to us
Speaker 1: about your process of writting a bad song to show
Speaker 1: that Ali's bad and to sell out And she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: we were like what is that that? I'm actually proud
Speaker 1: of the song. But um, yes, did you did you
Speaker 1: see my insane new Oscar nominated song from the movie Breakthrough,
Speaker 1: performed by Christie Mets What is our life? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I mean Diane Warren at the Oscars is its
Speaker 1: own performance. But back to Diane Warren and from the
Speaker 1: audience after that song, and she's fully sobbing. She knew
Speaker 1: that she had moved the world. She knew that I'm
Speaker 1: standing with you from Breakthrough had changed the world. And
Speaker 1: I think she was I thought she had a chance
Speaker 1: of winning. I don't know, you can't win against um
Speaker 1: wait who won again. Well, it was oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is how much this category is. Like, I mean, honestly, honestly,
Speaker 1: Into the Unknown should have won if they weren't going
Speaker 1: to nominate that song that Mary Steinbergen wrote. Do you
Speaker 1: care about this? Mary Steinbergan wrote a song Shoot, okay,
Speaker 1: this is a psychotic story. Mary Steenbergen. Yeah, had surgery
Speaker 1: on something something she needs to go and then she
Speaker 1: woke up. She woke up and was a musical genius.
Speaker 1: She had never This is fucking insane. It's like within
Speaker 1: the last like five years it happened. And then she
Speaker 1: hasn't been acting as much because all she can do
Speaker 1: is think of music. So there's like, this is insane,
Speaker 1: you guys. Musical thoughts attack her in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night and she has to write her music because
Speaker 1: after her surgery she's now thinks in musical terms and
Speaker 1: I can't stop. So she wrote a gorgeous song that's
Speaker 1: at the end of wild Rose called Glasgow and um
Speaker 1: it was like it won like all sorts of awards,
Speaker 1: and then it got snub for the Oscar and it
Speaker 1: was actually like one of the biggest Oscar snubs and
Speaker 1: then um, and it could have won if it was
Speaker 1: in the category. Oh you know what one was the
Speaker 1: Elton Johnson, which literally what a good story to have
Speaker 1: them both when Yeah, definitely wonderful, but um, we should
Speaker 1: say that as we were watching the Oscars. I was
Speaker 1: here in l A watching the Oscars. I was watching
Speaker 1: the Best Original Song nomine performances, and I was like,
Speaker 1: why do we even have this category at this point?
Speaker 1: And then I remember because every few years we get
Speaker 1: you get a shower or I'll let it go and
Speaker 1: you need it. But it's like sometimes these nominees, it's
Speaker 1: like you could tell. It's like Diane Warren is gonna
Speaker 1: poop out and I'm standing with you from Breakthrough and
Speaker 1: it's gonna get nominated on her name alone, and like
Speaker 1: why do we have this? And why? Um? But that
Speaker 1: Mary Stanberg thing is funny. I mean, it happens with
Speaker 1: people who wake up and learn of know a full
Speaker 1: new language. It's crazy. What can happen to your brain?
Speaker 1: It's actually real culture number. It's crazy what can happen
Speaker 1: to your brain? Hashtag during surgery? Hashtag during surgery. Now
Speaker 1: let's move on to a wider OSCARS conversation. I feel
Speaker 1: like we've moved well before we move away from this
Speaker 1: original song, I want to say, did you see Adina's
Speaker 1: perform It's along with every other international as absolutely what
Speaker 1: a beautiful safety nut literally genius way to do that,
Speaker 1: because it's like a nod to how internationally like it's
Speaker 1: huge important and like move it's I was moved watching
Speaker 1: it because I was like wow, like girls all the
Speaker 1: world over like are watching this movie and that's great.
Speaker 1: And I did not love Frozen two, but like whatever,
Speaker 1: um the Frozen cannon. I think it's positive. Um, but
Speaker 1: her Adina's notes were right, but she was rushing through
Speaker 1: her fucking trip. That's I felt that too. She was,
Speaker 1: she was about three hours ahead of the music. What
Speaker 1: is it about aDNA gets nervous on TV? I think
Speaker 1: she gets nervous, but she's a damn Broadway that's true.
Speaker 1: But I think when something is televised, get it, movie people,
Speaker 1: and I freaks out, get it. I totally get it.
Speaker 1: She doesn't look calm and there's This is not to
Speaker 1: say that she is not that those performances aren't successful
Speaker 1: on some level. No, they keep us talking absolutely, but
Speaker 1: I pray for her. I pray for her yeah, And
Speaker 1: I famously said on this podcast at Zina is a
Speaker 1: base and I have to say she was hitting her.
Speaker 1: She was hitting her solid tent, you know, ten or
Speaker 1: one notes and we support her and the notes were good.
Speaker 1: Just it was a little fast this time, a little fast.
Speaker 1: Um okay. So I mean speaking of best original song,
Speaker 1: that eminem performance, we don't. I mean, there's what hell?
Speaker 1: What hasn't been? Sad girl? What? It felt so desperate?
Speaker 1: I mean, no one still, no one knows why not
Speaker 1: even Marshall Mathers himself, what was going on? All of
Speaker 1: a sudden he came out. I was like, what is
Speaker 1: his sports? Not even an anniversary because I was about
Speaker 1: two thousand three. Or tell you what, I would have
Speaker 1: respected it more if they had booked him to come out,
Speaker 1: just say the word faggot and then leave, because then
Speaker 1: I would have said, you know what, it's art, it's
Speaker 1: confronting the artist, it's confronting the culture now, which is
Speaker 1: so sensitive. And never forget that he called his faggots
Speaker 1: every day. Every day he called specifically reached out to
Speaker 1: us and called his bag. He actually texted me, He
Speaker 1: texted me every day, Marshall, I say, girl, girl, what
Speaker 1: are you doing because think he doesn't text me. But
Speaker 1: it's important that we don't erase the fact that that
Speaker 1: Marshall Mathers a k a. Eminem was the most famous
Speaker 1: homophobe in the world. Yes, and um, you know, now
Speaker 1: we kind of throw around this uh sort of eligibility.
Speaker 1: We go, oh, you know, Laura Doran can say faggot whatever,
Speaker 1: it's well, it's it's we're beyond that with Eminem. We're like,
Speaker 1: it's not that Eminem can't say fagets that he has
Speaker 1: has done it many times in a malicious and a
Speaker 1: hurtful way. And I can, who was felt confronted by
Speaker 1: it every single day and whose life was worse for
Speaker 1: having him in the media, that I don't want to
Speaker 1: see him at the Oscars, something pretty much exclusively watched
Speaker 1: by gay men and women who he also talked about
Speaker 1: beating exclusively in his music. So I don't understand really
Speaker 1: why we're doing this, you cause and actually we can
Speaker 1: say that the friendship with him and Elton John makes
Speaker 1: no sense either. And I don't think John. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey, Elton John is friends of Eminem. Girl. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't need it. I don't need it. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: talk with the oscars as a whole. So no, I
Speaker 1: mean the gag. Since we've last spoken, I don't know
Speaker 1: you said you were about to watch Parasite on a plane.
Speaker 1: I did watch it. I have not heard your thoughts,
Speaker 1: and I'm truly shocked that you have not spilled forth
Speaker 1: and told me what you thought about the film. Shocking film,
Speaker 1: a fantastic film, impactful. I thought, the real announcement of
Speaker 1: a new directorial voice, Like I know he's done so
Speaker 1: many films and people have been a fan of his films,
Speaker 1: but now like for this to be this mainstream thing
Speaker 1: like Pung Jung Ho. I believe this makes him truly
Speaker 1: an international, an old brand, because I was what I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what I watched after I watched the film
Speaker 1: is I often like to go back and see, like
Speaker 1: I'll go on YouTube and following a little wormhole about
Speaker 1: takes on the film, and you know, there's this really
Speaker 1: good piece and I wish I could recall off the
Speaker 1: top of my head what YouTube channel it is, but
Speaker 1: that really walks through the sequence which is spoiler alert,
Speaker 1: getting um the mother to replace their housekeeper, about the
Speaker 1: pace at which that sequence moves and how it's all
Speaker 1: very timed down. He's obsessed with rhythm. I thought, this
Speaker 1: is really amazing. This is someone who's like brain is
Speaker 1: connected to their talent and in a way and and
Speaker 1: like can really articulate the way they want things to
Speaker 1: play out on screen in a way that I feel
Speaker 1: is worthy of being in the same name recognition as
Speaker 1: those directors he was nominated with. And I think, after
Speaker 1: having watched it, that is a very good screenplay, win director,
Speaker 1: win and win. Now the the for me, it's just
Speaker 1: so crazy and I did not. I was I got
Speaker 1: chills when he won the Best Original screen because I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, he might win this, he might say
Speaker 1: I actually I predicted it for a picture. I kind
Speaker 1: of had a feeling for picture too, and I was like,
Speaker 1: just in a perfect right that it's either that or
Speaker 1: I mean, based on prognosticators, it was down between. It
Speaker 1: was between Parasite, That's what they were saying, and there
Speaker 1: was like spoiler was once upon a time, if there
Speaker 1: was like if there was gonna be something cuckoo happening.
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, I think that the
Speaker 1: Parasite film was going to win because you saw the
Speaker 1: way that everyone reacted when they won, like the sag Award,
Speaker 1: that was a moment everyone's like and like watching them
Speaker 1: all on stage, did the like the ensemble, You're like, yes,
Speaker 1: this movie and I was really the acting snubs, these
Speaker 1: snubs and it is a raiser because well that's what
Speaker 1: it is, because I mean, we can say pretty definitively
Speaker 1: that the reason why none of those actors were nominated
Speaker 1: is probably because the overwhelmingly white voting body did not
Speaker 1: bother to learn their names. But it's also like, I mean,
Speaker 1: you nominated Rinko Cokuchi, Sure did, but I think that
Speaker 1: Rinco Cockuchi was one of the only Asian actresses in
Speaker 1: the film, and I think I honestly think they just
Speaker 1: saw Asian like, okay, we can't tell them. And it
Speaker 1: contributes to the faces narrative which I believe the Western
Speaker 1: world puts on the Eastern world because we don't put
Speaker 1: the time and effort into Oh and I can get
Speaker 1: into this later about a fucking disease that's spreading through
Speaker 1: the world and how we're kind of very casually dehumanizing
Speaker 1: the people who are dying. Anyway, absolutely, and this would
Speaker 1: not be something that would happen if it was happening
Speaker 1: in Connecticut a coronavirus. Yes, I mean we we would
Speaker 1: not be even making a joke about it anyway. Um,
Speaker 1: but I'll get into that later. But I'm so glad
Speaker 1: you liked it. I would have given two nominous to
Speaker 1: the cast. I would have given Mrs Park absolutely to me.
Speaker 1: The performance of the film that I will remember is
Speaker 1: the Mrs Park the rich Mother, because the film doesn't
Speaker 1: really work without that performance being like so you're like,
Speaker 1: oh you like her, and you so funny you like her,
Speaker 1: but you are like you understand, like you're frustrated with her,
Speaker 1: but also like you get it. The specific things in
Speaker 1: the script like buy me drugs. They worked so well
Speaker 1: because she was giving such a specific performance her like
Speaker 1: sexual chemistry with her husband. Loved it, her weird little
Speaker 1: relationships with everyone in the movie, Like this is a
Speaker 1: woman who's like that sort of rich woman who nothing
Speaker 1: really bad has really ever happened to her, and so
Speaker 1: she's able to open up to people like she kind
Speaker 1: of loved the attentions, the whole thing where it's like
Speaker 1: they're like when the family, when the Kims are like
Speaker 1: eating and drinking at the in the living room. They're
Speaker 1: like they're so nice, but it's like they can afford
Speaker 1: to be that blew my mind. Oh my god. The
Speaker 1: movie made me think so many I've not been able
Speaker 1: to stop thinking. It's an amazing performance and sun Kano.
Speaker 1: I have given him the nomination for a Supporting Actor
Speaker 1: just because I feel that he you really, he's one
Speaker 1: of those actors where you remember his face. He's such
Speaker 1: an emotional face, like little things like like like anguish
Speaker 1: and also like um, self satisfication, self satisfaction, like it's
Speaker 1: all there. There's so much going on. And I would also,
Speaker 1: you know, say the entire cast is amazing, entire cast
Speaker 1: is great, and like I would say, the protagonist of
Speaker 1: the movie is probably the son. The son, and I
Speaker 1: thought he was great and you know, um housekeeper. Though
Speaker 1: I'm liking on the actresses, yeah, obsessed, like it was
Speaker 1: able to portray like Asian female all suffering such a
Speaker 1: fun I must say, fun way. Yes, it was kind
Speaker 1: of fun to see her like gravel, gravel, gravel, and
Speaker 1: then when when and then when the rest of the
Speaker 1: Kimes fall, it just immediately turned and sho records and
Speaker 1: she's like, I'll send this and so fun. You know,
Speaker 1: so hard to with a script that really takes big
Speaker 1: swings keep the tone because even when the tone quote
Speaker 1: unquote tone shifted and it became not really a comedy
Speaker 1: more it became a tragedy um and very dark at
Speaker 1: the end and violent. Yes, um, I still felt like
Speaker 1: it was within the voice. Yes it's and that is
Speaker 1: a real achievement. It reminds me it's like a it's
Speaker 1: like a Jordan Peel movie and it's very that. Um.
Speaker 1: And anyway, I I'm so glad you liked it, and
Speaker 1: I just I just thrilling to watch it. When the
Speaker 1: Oscar thrilling every New Award, I was like, yes, and
Speaker 1: I just kept believing and believing, especially because the acting
Speaker 1: reasons were so fun, so boring. Um. But I mean,
Speaker 1: I think was Jason kim Um, who has just his
Speaker 1: journey all Awards season of just being so obsessed with
Speaker 1: parasite is. She was truly so fun to track. But
Speaker 1: he commented on miss Jane Fond his breathwork an incredible
Speaker 1: performance because she opens the envelope and you can tell
Speaker 1: that like she understood this is miss Hannoy Jane we're
Speaker 1: talking about. She saw she saw this and she was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I took a breath parasite, like, what
Speaker 1: a moment. And she knew it was going to be
Speaker 1: a moment and so fun. And she reword that dress
Speaker 1: that she's worn in the past, sustainable fashion, Thank you.
Speaker 1: She also brought that red coat out that she's been
Speaker 1: getting arrested in. You notice that she was holding her
Speaker 1: iconic redcoat that she's gotten arrested in like twelve What
Speaker 1: an icon Jane fund did you see? Jane. Yes, I
Speaker 1: can't recommend this enough to the readers. You must. It
Speaker 1: is so good, you guys, I mean, and you cannot
Speaker 1: do anything but respect and stand. And the thing is
Speaker 1: it's also you get an understanding and and it's also
Speaker 1: a film about the difficulty of being a woman in
Speaker 1: this or any industry, just about like how culturally like
Speaker 1: it is very difficult to get out of the shadow
Speaker 1: of men who dominate you. And it is about men.
Speaker 1: It is about it is about the relationship to men,
Speaker 1: and just not no spoilers, but every it's it's like
Speaker 1: five chapterion Jane Jane, and five acts, and the first
Speaker 1: four acts are all names of the men in her
Speaker 1: life that were that were her husbands or her father.
Speaker 1: And then the last one is called Jane, and it's like, what,
Speaker 1: it's very very good, Jane fond It is an icon.
Speaker 1: I knew when I saw the list of presenters. I'm like,
Speaker 1: she'll be presenting the best picture. I had the feeling,
Speaker 1: and then she did. Before we go to break what
Speaker 1: your thoughts on um at acting winners? I thought about
Speaker 1: this today and someone pointing this out to I mean,
Speaker 1: we love that Ms Dern has an Oscar. Strange that
Speaker 1: that was the roles that she got it for. And
Speaker 1: you know, I've talked about this like ad nauseum, like
Speaker 1: while we've been off the air. It feels insane to
Speaker 1: still be talking about it. But I'll just wrap this.
Speaker 1: My thoughts on it are you can't tell me that
Speaker 1: that was not an Oscar win for someone that we
Speaker 1: the Royal we are all obsessed with right now. We are,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's should we We saw an opportunity to
Speaker 1: give her an Oscar and we gave her one that
Speaker 1: wasn't performance. Wasn't the performance. But it happens all the time,
Speaker 1: and it's and we're not saying that it's it's it's
Speaker 1: not earned or anything it's just it's interesting, and it
Speaker 1: sort of peels back the layer of the whole sort
Speaker 1: of facade of the meritocracy of awards. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not like a direct correlation. There's a
Speaker 1: million other factors that are outside of it. And I
Speaker 1: also feel like it just goes to show that like
Speaker 1: how much further ahead and how much better television is
Speaker 1: than film right now, because we can see her do
Speaker 1: that literally fourteen times on every episode of Big Little
Speaker 1: Lies Better, like blow that ship away, and I I
Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, I hope it's not that
Speaker 1: thing where in five years, like she gives a performance
Speaker 1: that's like truly amazing and we feel like we gave
Speaker 1: it to her already, because that's how you get the
Speaker 1: thing of Renee wins for Cold Mountain right when she
Speaker 1: should have won for Chicago and right, and and it's
Speaker 1: like that's how you pick the can further down the road,
Speaker 1: and then like you're like, who cares about this? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? It kind of takes some value away.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um. And then good for Brad Loved
Speaker 1: Loved Him in Once Upon, Um, good for miss Joaquin,
Speaker 1: miss Wain is certainly a performance. And we stand Renee,
Speaker 1: We stand Renee, And I don't know about that speech.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to pass on that. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to get a writer for that one. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to whittle down that list of name drops. He's gonna
Speaker 1: have to edit that one. I'm gonna have to edit that.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to uh two times speed that one. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we once, we're gonna, we're gonna go. We're gonna
Speaker 1: go to a break with them. We're back. We've got
Speaker 1: to talk about this thing that's poisoned our brains. This
Speaker 1: means that I wouldn't say poison, but it's truly it's
Speaker 1: added something. And we'll talk about it. But we're gonna
Speaker 1: go to break and we'll be right back. Okay, we're back. So, Matt,
Speaker 1: before we went to break, we sort of dipped into
Speaker 1: this new vernacular way of this this this way that
Speaker 1: we speak now, which is so it's so interesting that
Speaker 1: it's happening now. Basically, you guys, we've become um powerless
Speaker 1: against the Aretha Franklin interview where she says good gowns beautiful.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the that's the poll quote. We all
Speaker 1: know writer young producer Whitney was a talent, and this
Speaker 1: that we've we've become. We went to Puerta Viarda with
Speaker 1: some friends time and just sat around and watch this interview.
Speaker 1: And then I don't know if this ever happens to
Speaker 1: you guys, the readers, but like something will just become
Speaker 1: so fun and stupid to say that it's all you
Speaker 1: can say. That's become us with this. This is different though,
Speaker 1: this is really my personality. Yeah, same and and so
Speaker 1: she has this one line in it, this is the
Speaker 1: locust that you're focusing on? Is that? Um? You know,
Speaker 1: the interviewer asks her about Nikim Minash and she goes,
Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj, I'm gonna have to pass on that one.
Speaker 1: So now it's just become I'm gonna have to stand
Speaker 1: on that one. It's gonna have to admire that one's
Speaker 1: gonna have to be skeptical on that one. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to ride that one. Um. And we went to
Speaker 1: Disneyland recently and we had to put on ponchos for
Speaker 1: the river right the Grizzly River and have to put
Speaker 1: a punch on for that one. But my favorite distillation
Speaker 1: of it is going, I'm gonna have to put that
Speaker 1: you gonna have to put on that one. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to put on that one. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: sit on that one. It's we are becoming the stupidest
Speaker 1: people in America, and it's happening at a very quick rate.
Speaker 1: So I want to tell you all, if it gets
Speaker 1: to the point where we are doing this podcast and
Speaker 1: it's musha, musha, musha, understand it's a wreatha Franklin's for
Speaker 1: being too iconic, but for just just the way she's
Speaker 1: like is struggling through this interview being like okay, Alesia Key, okay,
Speaker 1: good producer, young producer, good writer, young performer, young performer.
Speaker 1: And it got to the point where me, you, Patrick Rodgers,
Speaker 1: and Jared took a car back from this new yest
Speaker 1: part was sick, a lovely talkative driver. I was talking
Speaker 1: us all about, you know, the sort of the changing
Speaker 1: dynamics of taxis in Puerto Vierta, and just talking us
Speaker 1: about all the new writers and stuff. And we truly
Speaker 1: all we only spoke to him in Aretha Franklin sound bite. Well,
Speaker 1: no one in the car could understand each other anymore
Speaker 1: because of the language barriers and because of the just
Speaker 1: the substances that were we were extremely on substances. And um,
Speaker 1: he was like saying how it was busy night for him.
Speaker 1: We were just like stand on that one to stand
Speaker 1: on the good driver rights. And then he would just
Speaker 1: be like people, yes, very young drivers and would be
Speaker 1: like and he and it was psycho psycho he he
Speaker 1: would not stop talking. No, he was the most talkative
Speaker 1: lift driver. So truly, it meant that we had openings
Speaker 1: to say anything we wanted any time, and it would
Speaker 1: not would not have been heard. So we so me,
Speaker 1: you and Patrick just in the backseats would just be like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: stand good roads, good roads, good roads, young road, long roads.
Speaker 1: And and since his baby and baby, and we can't
Speaker 1: stop and we can't stop, and so sorry that was
Speaker 1: a talent. That driver was a talent and Sissy's baby
Speaker 1: and baby, and unfortunately we will try our best to
Speaker 1: not have that perfected the rest of the episode. But
Speaker 1: don't trust that. Don't trust you can't trust ourselves. But
Speaker 1: before we move on from the oscars too too much, okay,
Speaker 1: I think this is something to say about the oscars,
Speaker 1: which spend segways into what I think was a cultural
Speaker 1: mamma for our lifetimes. The j Los J Los, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pass on that. I have to
Speaker 1: pass them, Gonna have to um turn off the oscars
Speaker 1: on that one. I'm gonna have to disagree with that
Speaker 1: one's gonna have to fight for that one, gonna have
Speaker 1: to I'm gonna have to slam the Academy, say Academy
Speaker 1: on that particular one, because thanks for making it way
Speaker 1: less fun y'all. We could have seen the dress we
Speaker 1: play dress, not even the dress, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like you needed to invite Kathy Bates what to bring
Speaker 1: the glamour bitch. Miss Bates didn't even want to be there.
Speaker 1: She got to see Jerry from Cheer on the red
Speaker 1: carpet and that was like truly the highlight. Verson she
Speaker 1: did not want to be there. She probably wasn't shocked
Speaker 1: as anyone else. What is going on? Just let Kathy
Speaker 1: spend a Sunday night at home, don't drag her out
Speaker 1: to fucking you know will be there J LO after
Speaker 1: the year she's had. Oh my god, I can tell
Speaker 1: you way to stick it in and break it off
Speaker 1: when she hosted Can I tell you I went to
Speaker 1: that damn dinner? Yeah? Can you talk about that? It
Speaker 1: was I can't say too much, but she you could
Speaker 1: tell she was very excited for the years. She dropped
Speaker 1: a little hints about the Super Bowl perform and she
Speaker 1: had just FaceTime with Secure's team, and so Bowen went
Speaker 1: to the SNL has a dinner with the host and
Speaker 1: some of the cats get to go, and bow And
Speaker 1: went to the one with Jayla and it was truly wild,
Speaker 1: and you could just tell that she was excited, and
Speaker 1: she was like, you know, I'm She's like, she was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know, I'm in a very fun
Speaker 1: place in my career. It's like, oh my god, like
Speaker 1: and she deserves it, Yeah, and I was. And also
Speaker 1: the performance deserved to be nominated with the rest of those.
Speaker 1: I mean, I personally would have voted for it, but
Speaker 1: it cleared the way from Mrs Durrance, and I did vibe.
Speaker 1: I did vote for her for SAG, but anyone went
Speaker 1: to lordn someone I love, someone you love and it's like,
Speaker 1: I also love fairness. So there you go. It's it's
Speaker 1: really tough to sort of weigh your your value, your
Speaker 1: values in this way. Yeah, because it's like then you're
Speaker 1: then you're the gay who's saying that Laura Dern didn't
Speaker 1: deserve it. But I'm just sorry. I will continue to
Speaker 1: be the truth teller, a seer. I will continue to
Speaker 1: be a seer, thank you, and we will do that,
Speaker 1: and we will do that on this podcast and we
Speaker 1: have the platform. Now let's move towards joy and talk
Speaker 1: about this god damn super Bowl halftime one of the best.
Speaker 1: I would say, maybe I'm actually going to be hyperbolic.
Speaker 1: Maybe I can't remember enjoying one more. And this does
Speaker 1: not take anything away from Beyonce, who is the queen
Speaker 1: of both times she did the super Bowl, but it
Speaker 1: was a different flavor. Oh my god, what they were
Speaker 1: so good? Was exceeded my act my very high expectations, girl,
Speaker 1: My expecitions were very high. She Wolf was the first
Speaker 1: song performed at the halftime Super Bowl, and that's gay rights,
Speaker 1: and that's gay rights, that's gay rights. I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to gonna have to stand on that one. Her fucking
Speaker 1: shredding that good are I'm gonna have to stand on
Speaker 1: that and I have to gonna have to watch that one.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to be impressed by that one. And
Speaker 1: then when she did her belly dance, I was like,
Speaker 1: this is so and the lightning was perfect. When they
Speaker 1: did the close up of Shakira's face, she looked so
Speaker 1: fucking stunning. I was like, this wacko that she looks
Speaker 1: as beautiful. And to bring her just because we're staying
Speaker 1: on Shakira for now, but to reincorporate her into the
Speaker 1: performance on the drums, oh my god, genius truly well,
Speaker 1: And when they cut to her and she was playing
Speaker 1: those drums, I fell out. I felt like, that is
Speaker 1: the funniest shot I've ever seen. It's so cool, so good.
Speaker 1: And also you forget whenever, wherever, and that was a
Speaker 1: cultural moment. Oh yeah. When that song came out, we
Speaker 1: and I had just started taking sixth grade Spanish Bitch,
Speaker 1: which and it was huge for that class. You actually
Speaker 1: better count yourself as lucky that your breath are small
Speaker 1: and humble. They would be confused with mountains. It's actually
Speaker 1: real culture number thirty. You're actually as lucky that your
Speaker 1: breaths are humble so that they are not confused with mountains. Lucky,
Speaker 1: and that's a message. Gonna have to read the text
Speaker 1: on that gonna have to examine the text on that one.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to gonna have to say the lyrics
Speaker 1: on that one. It's stupid. We cannot turn back from
Speaker 1: that son crying. It's so suddenly out of nowhere. It's
Speaker 1: the funniest thing that we can no longer think for ourselves. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: it's actually on track with the rest of the world.
Speaker 1: How it's going seventy degrees in ANARCA the other day
Speaker 1: you told me I'm fine sinking And the last thing
Speaker 1: I says, like gas for breath is gonna have to
Speaker 1: try to Likena, have to gonna have to gas for
Speaker 1: breath on that one. I'm gonna have to grow some
Speaker 1: gills on that one. Good about to become a cuser
Speaker 1: in a water world of film on on that one. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: but we got from Jo now, Okay, So first of all,
Speaker 1: just to put a period on it, Shakira one of
Speaker 1: the best performers alive. Unbelievable, unbelievable. Then Jlo comes to
Speaker 1: funk out. Well, first of all, I've never seen anyone
Speaker 1: more beautiful that pose. Oh my god, the way the
Speaker 1: skirt flowed out, just someone who was so amned to
Speaker 1: do the super Bowl and every moment, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: what an icon when an icon gave you full Kylie Minogue,
Speaker 1: all the Lover's music video fantasy bodies piled on top
Speaker 1: of each other, the boys beautiful that just were nuts.
Speaker 1: They were killing it so good. We got get right
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl jagged. When that happened, I was like, absolutely,
Speaker 1: We're so lucky on the floors one of my favorite
Speaker 1: songs of all time. Play it at my wedding, funeral, graduation, graduation.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for a future episode where we referenced this.
Speaker 1: But oh my god, um also just waiting for tonight.
Speaker 1: When she got up on the pole. First of all,
Speaker 1: no one can ever do that green light again. That's
Speaker 1: her light, that color of the greenes. You knew exactly
Speaker 1: what it was. I was like, this, she owns this
Speaker 1: light and truly, like, has she laid claim to polls now?
Speaker 1: No one can pull dance again, No one can pull
Speaker 1: dance on ever again. And she was like, by the way,
Speaker 1: never forget hustlers. I remember I was watching with Jared
Speaker 1: and he goes, never forget hustlers. Truly, never forget never forget,
Speaker 1: and the Academy forgot. And then she said, I'm actually
Speaker 1: gonna pull dance at the super Bowl. You Fox, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually watched by more people, and Laura Dern could
Speaker 1: never do it. Can I say something? You can say
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Actually I was. I watched the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl quite frankly at Miss Heidi Gardner's apartments. We actually
Speaker 1: stand Gardner and we're going to have to stand on
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to stand on stand on that one.
Speaker 1: She was feeling the chief spirits she had. She shared
Speaker 1: her Kansas City friends who are so sweet, who took
Speaker 1: the time to really explain the rules of football to me.
Speaker 1: I did you know do you know the rules of
Speaker 1: You're pretty familiar with the rules of What happens in
Speaker 1: football is you throw the ball to each other and
Speaker 1: men try to run across the line at the end
Speaker 1: of the field. And that's literally not even at the
Speaker 1: end of the field. It kind of moves. That's what happens.
Speaker 1: Is the first down line, Yes, and you need to
Speaker 1: keep getting the first down so that you can have
Speaker 1: more chances to get that. Okay, so you've known this
Speaker 1: for a long time. I've actually known this for a
Speaker 1: long time because my father was a varsity football You
Speaker 1: have to remember I once was a babyhood a little
Speaker 1: jersey that said little Rogers on the back of My
Speaker 1: dad was actually known as a quote defensive coordinator genius
Speaker 1: on the Long Island I believe, okay, and an award
Speaker 1: winning defensive coordinator at that. That being said, that is
Speaker 1: going on with most of the Why are the plays
Speaker 1: so complicated with the little men like oh that it's
Speaker 1: like the xs and ohs that you draw. You're trying
Speaker 1: to run to the other side because either you throw it,
Speaker 1: someone has the option to, like girl, throw it to
Speaker 1: one person or another person. I look and then at
Speaker 1: times the QB runs himself. Sometimes he's just giving the
Speaker 1: ballow to someone else. I gotta do a deeper dive.
Speaker 1: But really, all it took because Sudy and I were
Speaker 1: there at this party together and we were like, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, we kind of get we kind of get
Speaker 1: what's going on, and this is this is very fun
Speaker 1: to watch all these straight men have figured it out.
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not gonna make a comment on that. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna pass on that. I'm gonna have to pass
Speaker 1: on that one. But then the next day I go
Speaker 1: into work and then I literally google football rules yeah,
Speaker 1: and like watching at two time speed because I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of time, let's go and
Speaker 1: absorbed at all, not all, but I was just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I get it now, and this is fun and interesting,
Speaker 1: and I thank god for j Loo Shicure because if
Speaker 1: if it was and miss Heidi Gardner, which who I
Speaker 1: put on the same pedestals those are actually the three three.
Speaker 1: But I was like, thank God for this because now
Speaker 1: I'm interested in this. My horizons have expanded, and I'm
Speaker 1: kind of into this new thing called new culture. Culture.
Speaker 1: I would say this, I have a couple of notes
Speaker 1: for football, and it's just thoughts and and people. Costumes
Speaker 1: are better, should be better. I would say that I
Speaker 1: could we could use an update on the cost Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: one thing. There's a quarterback and a cornerback. I feel
Speaker 1: these two words are too similar, as I think we
Speaker 1: should just change um. I think yeah, like quarterback, I
Speaker 1: think should we should keep calling him a quarterback because
Speaker 1: that's the culture. Cornerback should be like quarterbacks should be
Speaker 1: like angle angle back or something or just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would just call him like back. I would I
Speaker 1: was miss back, I would say, well, what does the
Speaker 1: cornerback do? Do you know that? I don't think I
Speaker 1: know that? Is he the one who snaps the ball?
Speaker 1: Call him the snapper snapper? That's much easier. But so
Speaker 1: that's one of my notes. Also, these brains are becoming
Speaker 1: mush This is so my my, my, My small thing
Speaker 1: is we have to change quarter back in cornerback. My
Speaker 1: big thing is their brains were coming us and we're not.
Speaker 1: We're there're nothing's being done about it. I mean, outside
Speaker 1: of Will Smith making a movie about Doug's laughing, it's
Speaker 1: not it's no laughing. It's actually not funny. I'm actually
Speaker 1: not funny at all. I'm going to have to disapprove
Speaker 1: on them. I have to disapprove on that one. We
Speaker 1: have straight people in the booth who are I guess
Speaker 1: laughing at us, And I'm sorry, but I mean, there's
Speaker 1: there's things to point out that costumes need an upgrade
Speaker 1: quarterback cornerback. It needs to be a snapper quarterback, and
Speaker 1: the brains should We should do something about them. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna talk to queer people about football, the last
Speaker 1: thing we're gonna do is dehumanize the player, right exactly.
Speaker 1: I also think that we actually, you know, how they're
Speaker 1: actually moving to cut the dancing and celebrations when they
Speaker 1: do a touchdown before well, that's that's that's that's how
Speaker 1: you end up having like personalities in football and like hello,
Speaker 1: like you end up loving the people because they're of
Speaker 1: the dancing girl. You know, Ticky Barber. You've heard of
Speaker 1: this pros dancer, a dancer, and we need more of that.
Speaker 1: I think miss j J. Watt was a dancer. Well
Speaker 1: you know her. I listen. I gotta say J. J.
Speaker 1: Watt lovely had a very good experience. I love that
Speaker 1: for you. I did not know who J. J. Watt
Speaker 1: was when it was announced and I looked at it,
Speaker 1: said host J J. Watt, And I said, is there
Speaker 1: someone in the culture that I do not know? And
Speaker 1: that I said, of course an athlete, very very fun,
Speaker 1: very fun person. I'll say, this hot and could snap
Speaker 1: me in half if he wanted, could take my neck
Speaker 1: and rip my head clear off my body, and I'd
Speaker 1: be fine. I gonna have to gonna have to agree
Speaker 1: on that. One could break my arm. Um on him
Speaker 1: breaking your arm, I agree with that. Yeah, Okay, So
Speaker 1: I just know that I will know it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: upset about it. I'd be happy. Okay. Anything else to
Speaker 1: cover on super Bowl I don't think so Okay. Um,
Speaker 1: So that's the super Bowl. Amazing slay and we should
Speaker 1: say that incredible chill inducing moment when she revealed the
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican fly. Oh my god born in the USA
Speaker 1: pages Jayla Wins j Lo Wins. Um. So super Bowl
Speaker 1: was incredible. Now we've spoken about the Grammys a little
Speaker 1: bit billy that I just took over. I don't know
Speaker 1: what anyone, to be honest, I didn't watch well. It
Speaker 1: was a sad event because that was the day of Kobe. Yes,
Speaker 1: and can I tell you where I was when I
Speaker 1: found out that Kobe Bryant has passed away. So Patrick
Speaker 1: Rodgers and I who has become my sister? He is
Speaker 1: and the thing is like I love him, We love
Speaker 1: and we are the house because we have the same
Speaker 1: last name and he's become a sister. And so now
Speaker 1: we have a ritual where we go to the wee Spa.
Speaker 1: I won't say when we go because then people, well
Speaker 1: we'll follow. I don't know, um, but I like going
Speaker 1: to this we spa and to be in the sauna
Speaker 1: and it's not a crauzy thing, no, no, no no, it's
Speaker 1: just like a nice, like family oriented. Chloe was telling
Speaker 1: me about how she loves it. Yeah, So we spas
Speaker 1: fucking great. And we were sitting there and we were
Speaker 1: in the sauna and we were watching television and it
Speaker 1: was breaking news that this tragedy had happened with Kobe
Speaker 1: Bryant and one of the most met in America, especially
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, Jesus Christ. And so watching men Los
Speaker 1: Angeles based men come into the sauna fully naked, seeing
Speaker 1: them turn to the screen and realize what was happening,
Speaker 1: and watching these more nude realized that Kobe Bryant had died,
Speaker 1: was like, there's never nothing, but I've never seen anything
Speaker 1: more vulnerable. My god, it was I'll never forget where
Speaker 1: I was when that happened. Oh my god. We were
Speaker 1: like gags who were like, how does this happen? And
Speaker 1: so crazy not to bring it down, but no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's you forget man, well, truly accident. The thing
Speaker 1: that I was sort of like taking away from it
Speaker 1: was that it's just like, for no reason, these things
Speaker 1: just happen for truly no reason, and it's it just
Speaker 1: it just like speaks to like the fragility of it all.
Speaker 1: The fact that he went to church and like we
Speaker 1: can't even realize the last week was to Lebron and
Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, it's like crazy. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you get into the pacifics of the rest of it,
Speaker 1: it's just too sad. So obviously that was a very
Speaker 1: very very bad day. And um, watching the Grammy's that night,
Speaker 1: like I almost was happy that it was Alicia Keys.
Speaker 1: Like I don't love Alicia Keys as a Grammy's host,
Speaker 1: Like I'm over like the let's do good vibes hosting.
Speaker 1: I think that we should have jokes. I think we
Speaker 1: should be laughing and we watch those things. So I
Speaker 1: don't love her as a host, but you almost that
Speaker 1: day was were like it's kind of good, you know,
Speaker 1: because I think all we need is just to like
Speaker 1: settle into the problem reality of this. I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: move through it. Um, But that was that was a
Speaker 1: crazy evening. That was one where I woke up and
Speaker 1: was just like went to the bathroom and just like
Speaker 1: scrolled through my phone and it was like wait, wait,
Speaker 1: what is crazy. I didn't believe it was happening for
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, it was weird to be here too,
Speaker 1: because I I think I didn't grasp like what I
Speaker 1: thought he was in Los Angeles, like I've never cared
Speaker 1: about basketball. But yeah, um well, outside of that, the
Speaker 1: Grammys were fun and wait, oh this is what I
Speaker 1: wanted to say, Demi, Demi. God. Now there was just
Speaker 1: it was the battle of the ballads at this mine.
Speaker 1: It felt like which Camilla Okay, the Camilla First Man performance.
Speaker 1: I actually stabbed that song. Okay, And I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to cry for my father on I'm kind of you
Speaker 1: ll the first Man love Me. I'm a little chilled.
Speaker 1: I'm not chilled. I just find it very interesting how
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that it's irredeemable. She's irredeemable, but
Speaker 1: it's we're we've all kind of very quickly moved from
Speaker 1: the unword of it all. Right, But here's my thing
Speaker 1: with her and the N word of it all. It's
Speaker 1: like I think that she seemed like someone who culturally
Speaker 1: like was not it was just not aware she could.
Speaker 1: But I don't know about that because the normanity the
Speaker 1: normany thing, what kind of creeps me the funk out.
Speaker 1: What happened with the Normandy is like on his interviews
Speaker 1: now being like yeah, like they were coordinated like online
Speaker 1: like campaigns, attack campaigns that she kind of like sort
Speaker 1: of like dog whistled, like like like I'm butchering it.
Speaker 1: But like but Normani has basically been out there like
Speaker 1: when the whole like Nward thing, like the Tumbler thing
Speaker 1: like came out, like apparently Normani was just like yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I was getting fucking vile ship from Camilla
Speaker 1: fans and it seemed like it was like from the sword,
Speaker 1: like it was coming from one place. So I'm I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna have to stay team Romany on that one.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean if we're picking, so I
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean not that we're picking, but it's
Speaker 1: just like I feel that bums me out because I
Speaker 1: was really liking Camilla and there's room to like her
Speaker 1: and I'm not and I'm not saying that it's I'm
Speaker 1: not saying like cancel, cancel, cancel, because that's like also
Speaker 1: like such so absolute and stupid, but like it's it's
Speaker 1: just like wait a minute, Well, bottom line is she's
Speaker 1: still Cinderella. That's the thing too. I'm like, okay, and
Speaker 1: we're like, we're like very like casually announcing all these
Speaker 1: new casting things that are how thing with this movie,
Speaker 1: and I think it probably would be too much to
Speaker 1: like do anything with that. I also, I'm saying there's
Speaker 1: a lot of Chamilla news that like is being like
Speaker 1: kind of like celebrated, not celebrated. We're just like cool.
Speaker 1: My thing too with the whole First Man performance was
Speaker 1: like she's singing the song to her dad about how
Speaker 1: like it's time to give me up to the man
Speaker 1: of my dreams who I've met and I'm with, and
Speaker 1: it's like Sean, Okay, here we go. She thinks Mentis
Speaker 1: is the one. Oh my god, whose disease is this?
Speaker 1: What do we do? Oh wow, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to pass. I'm gonna have to question question
Speaker 1: that one. But anyway, um and DEMI I thought, I yeah,
Speaker 1: I live. She sucking slay the super Bowl Slay the
Speaker 1: super Bowl was wide open at the Grammys. Hey, he
Speaker 1: she was giving you the notes. She's never sounding better,
Speaker 1: a full gape of a mouth, the lyrics that lyrics.
Speaker 1: I feel stupid when I sing that is that's real raw.
Speaker 1: Wait to see what she has. We have a lot
Speaker 1: of respect for her and also Billie Eilish one a
Speaker 1: approximately seventeen Grammys and um slay on Silver Girl, Play
Speaker 1: on Silver Girl, Green Girl, Green Green Girl. You're gonna
Speaker 1: have to like your bond theme on that one. Gonna
Speaker 1: have to love the Gucci on the um. Speaking of
Speaker 1: music news, uh Adelway's eight pounds Okay, where are you
Speaker 1: with this? I'm sort of like concerned it's okay, and
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about the coverage of it because like they're
Speaker 1: literally like reaching out to her friends or truly who
Speaker 1: knows if they're her friends, if they're just like fucking acquaintances.
Speaker 1: Were like, yeah, the divorce is actually really good for
Speaker 1: her in terms of her body. It's like, shut up.
Speaker 1: I don't like the whole discourse around it. She definitely
Speaker 1: has lost a ton of weight. I hope that she's
Speaker 1: doing it in a healthy way. I just it's always
Speaker 1: shocking to me to see such a dramatic weight loss
Speaker 1: because she didn't need to know whatever. I hope that
Speaker 1: she's I just hope she's happy. That's all. Whenever whenever
Speaker 1: I see someone who's appearance has drastically changed, and you
Speaker 1: know they've had a hard time. I just say, I
Speaker 1: hope they're happy. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 1: it doesn't rule it out right, and just it doesn't
Speaker 1: rule out that that it's all buttressed by like good stuff,
Speaker 1: by like healthy behaviors. Um. Looking forward to the music,
Speaker 1: looking forward to the music, and when the narrative can
Speaker 1: be about the music is sure. And she leaked that
Speaker 1: it's coming out in September, Yeah, which we love, which
Speaker 1: we love. And I've been listening to Skyfall a lot
Speaker 1: because of the billy song coming out, and I'm still
Speaker 1: in love. Classic voices, haunting, I mean, and and that's
Speaker 1: why you have. Best original song is for the Skyfall years,
Speaker 1: for yours, your your your strally for your sky falls. Um,
Speaker 1: so listen, speaking of um, speaking of moments, moments, what
Speaker 1: a transition, what a segue, Jamila, jim Oh, I thought
Speaker 1: you were gonna go somewhere else, Jimmy, we gotta talk
Speaker 1: about so let's just let's just try and wrap this
Speaker 1: up in as tight a boon as possible. Jamie Jamil.
Speaker 1: Literally seconds after the Good Place Sence has revealed her
Speaker 1: full crazy, she gets announced as a like m C
Speaker 1: and like head judge on this show. Apparently the first
Speaker 1: press press release was wrong because it said she was
Speaker 1: the MC. So she comes out, but how is the
Speaker 1: press release from from HBO Max. So then she comes
Speaker 1: as and then she gets all this flak for not
Speaker 1: being this queer person who is like the face of
Speaker 1: this voguing show, this ballroom show. And then the next
Speaker 1: sort of day, Yeah, this sort of whips ode of
Speaker 1: this is that she says, I'm allowed to do this
Speaker 1: because I'm queer, and yeah, I wish it wasn't like this,
Speaker 1: and I wish it didn't come to this, but so
Speaker 1: that so that and then she correctly cam queer. She
Speaker 1: corrected the press release too by saying I'm not the
Speaker 1: m C, I am the head head judge. Doesn't make
Speaker 1: a difference to me, it makes less sense because there's
Speaker 1: no reason she should be judging it if she were
Speaker 1: a presenter of it. Well that's something that she does,
Speaker 1: like you don't necessarily need to have know how about
Speaker 1: the voguing and ball season if you're the host, but
Speaker 1: to be a judge and then to correct and be
Speaker 1: like no, no, no no, I'm not the host. I'm just
Speaker 1: a judge. That's not anyway. That's really annoying. But she
Speaker 1: can't have her cake any two where she's going, Um,
Speaker 1: I'm queer, I'm allowed to do this, But then she
Speaker 1: also goes, but I'm also not part of this ballroom scene,
Speaker 1: and so that actually makes me an entry point for
Speaker 1: other people who aren't into who aren't into voguing as well.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, so then either you're standing with the
Speaker 1: queer sort of shade of this or you're just being
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's She's like, I'm going to say anything,
Speaker 1: and of course it makes sense, and you're like, the wait,
Speaker 1: it feels like a gas lady on like a mass level.
Speaker 1: And then did you see her get into it with
Speaker 1: Trace La Set No, I didn't see that, Okay, So
Speaker 1: Tracey La set tweets that she was up for all
Speaker 1: the same ship that Jamila was up for. I didn't
Speaker 1: get it despite actually being a house mother from the
Speaker 1: ball scene and like like a true queen from that scene,
Speaker 1: like authentically from that culture. And she was like, well,
Speaker 1: I auditioned for this ship and didn't get it, so
Speaker 1: this is weird. And Jamila responded to Trace and be
Speaker 1: like Hey, babe, I think what you auditioned for was this?
Speaker 1: Not this? We were up for the same thing. And
Speaker 1: she goes, no, girl, I know what I auditioned for. Also,
Speaker 1: I don't need to audition to be a housemother. I
Speaker 1: am one, so et cetera. This is like like step back.
Speaker 1: She set her absolutely right. But then the kness about
Speaker 1: the parade of illnesses and diseases and accidents. She said, She's, oh,
Speaker 1: I see, I fully disengaged and checked out at this point.
Speaker 1: I just I if I like starre to, if I
Speaker 1: stare too long at this kind of thing, it just
Speaker 1: it just it stares back. What is this? She's she's
Speaker 1: got a bunch of diseases. She's like, I've had cancer
Speaker 1: a million times. I was hitting. It's like she's like
Speaker 1: talks about like things that have happened in you gotta
Speaker 1: if you search it. There's like Instagram threads where they
Speaker 1: collect all of the things that she has said about
Speaker 1: herself and things that she's gone through and they put
Speaker 1: them all together and it's shocking, No, this is this.
Speaker 1: And the thing is like she's like, come after the
Speaker 1: people that are like reporting on it are like talking
Speaker 1: about it um and been like, how dare you? How
Speaker 1: dare your dare you? And I'm like, how come no
Speaker 1: part of the narrative here isn't you saying I know
Speaker 1: it's crazy, all these things have happened to me, but
Speaker 1: it's true. Like there's no call out of like how
Speaker 1: it's an insane amount of things to happen to one person.
Speaker 1: It's just her presenting it all this fact and saying, Yep,
Speaker 1: it's true and if you believe me. If you don't
Speaker 1: believe me, you are insane. And it's like, no, girl,
Speaker 1: and this stuff has all happened to you. That is wild.
Speaker 1: You should be studied. You should be studied as the
Speaker 1: unluckiest woman in the world. Oh my god, as opposed
Speaker 1: to Shakira. You're gonna have to raise that one. Listen
Speaker 1: that it's tough. It's tough. It's like, clearly this person
Speaker 1: needs a resource, reach out, reach out. That's what we'll
Speaker 1: say about that. Let's talk about the two are actually
Speaker 1: three three Netflix moments. Okay, here Circle, which I'm still
Speaker 1: I'm only I'm only an episode two of and so
Speaker 1: I think you have not watched The Circle and I
Speaker 1: have not watched Cheer. Okay, great, So then let's let's
Speaker 1: just educate each other. So you educate me on The Circle.
Speaker 1: The Circle, I think is an incredible, important, um reality
Speaker 1: show on Netflix that has gotten the closest to satirizing
Speaker 1: and examining social media in terms of entertainment and the
Speaker 1: artifics the artifice of it and what we can get
Speaker 1: away with and what people, um people's fears are about
Speaker 1: social media and peoples like advantages are on social media
Speaker 1: based on their real personality. It's very interesting and I
Speaker 1: really like it and I think it ends very satisfied. Great,
Speaker 1: I should finish it because right now I'm just having
Speaker 1: a hard time with like then being like, hey, private message, Mercedes,
Speaker 1: we should form in your lines love you girl. Like
Speaker 1: it's just like, wait, this is this is how people
Speaker 1: talk with that. That's the whole point. So basically you
Speaker 1: have to get through those first few episodes because the
Speaker 1: people that are bad at playing the game sort of
Speaker 1: get weeded out, and therefore it becomes all people that
Speaker 1: are good at it or authentically being themselves and are
Speaker 1: getting played by it. And that's what it gets. And
Speaker 1: we love that. I love that show. And talk to
Speaker 1: me about Cheer because I tried and um, Oh I
Speaker 1: loved it. Was it the Trump stuff? Was it like
Speaker 1: the Texas of it all? A little bit of that?
Speaker 1: And also, um, I don't like seeing the girls get hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well ends up not even being gender specific by the end.
Speaker 1: It's like everybody gets hurt. Um. Anyway, Cheer is this
Speaker 1: documentary series on Netflix that I'm sure a lot of
Speaker 1: you have seen by these uh, I think one or
Speaker 1: two great sports documentarians, um, who have gone on record
Speaker 1: to say that they that then mar Share team is
Speaker 1: comprised of the hardest working athletes, the most intense athletes
Speaker 1: they've ever seen. Um, and a real cultural moment. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's something about like the way that these narratives sort
Speaker 1: of we're told and spun out and just it all
Speaker 1: it all builds up towards Tona, towards Daytona, UM Tona,
Speaker 1: and the stakes are also intricately and elegantly laid. Monaco
Speaker 1: A Dama is this wonderful mogul of a woman who
Speaker 1: has led this team to victory so many times and
Speaker 1: really nurtures them but also keeps them in arms length,
Speaker 1: and it's just so interesting. Her leadership style is so
Speaker 1: interesting and uh, and also What Josh Sharp has pointed
Speaker 1: out to me, which I love, is that and what
Speaker 1: some of our readers probably have picked up on it
Speaker 1: is that it's sort of kind of Trojan horses black
Speaker 1: queerness in this very cool way that it's just like
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's so it's a junior college where
Speaker 1: everyone goes there just for the sports, the athletics of
Speaker 1: the ball. But yeah, I mean these like black cheerleaders,
Speaker 1: these guys who like go to the school because like
Speaker 1: Monica has seen them or something, or they get yeah,
Speaker 1: they get scouted, or they just go and they try
Speaker 1: out for it. Jerry Harris Ladarius I forget his last name,
Speaker 1: but Um sort of like the two like stars. We
Speaker 1: can't forget to te Um, but they are all. I mean,
Speaker 1: it all sort of like is a way to sort
Speaker 1: of like show America because I mean, sheer. It's like
Speaker 1: Republicans want to see it because it's like Texas and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Texas dning in it, and then
Speaker 1: Liberals want to see it because it's like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: like dance music. I mean's like there's something for everybody.
Speaker 1: There's an entry point for everybody, which is kind of
Speaker 1: I think why it became such a moment. It's great,
Speaker 1: It's so good. I mean, the last episode is the
Speaker 1: nail biter of all nail biters. So good, I'll check
Speaker 1: it out. Um. It picks up after I would say
Speaker 1: the third episode, I think that I was watching The
Speaker 1: Circle and the and so I didn't I tried to
Speaker 1: watch Cheer, but I feel like it was going to
Speaker 1: demand a lot of time for me, and because I
Speaker 1: also was watching at the same time, Google Labs. Okay,
Speaker 1: now talk to me. But I've only seen the Shroom's
Speaker 1: episode whom episode is the first episode, and then the
Speaker 1: second and third episodes I feel like are like the ones.
Speaker 1: So the second episode deals with cold water plunge therapy.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of this? I've heard of this. Fascinating.
Speaker 1: So there's this guy who suffered a personal tragedy and
Speaker 1: then he started this movement of like cold water. I
Speaker 1: don't know he picked it up somewhere, but now it's
Speaker 1: like he's like a guru of plunging yourself in cold water,
Speaker 1: like drive your maladies away. Fascinating. And then and Gwyneth
Speaker 1: like has her like very thin employees go with yes. Um.
Speaker 1: Then the third episode is about um female orgasm and
Speaker 1: with a specific doctor, with this ninety year old woman
Speaker 1: who looks who is like passionate about all women achieved
Speaker 1: thing orgasms and like not being afraid of themselves down there.
Speaker 1: And there's a sequence where you see ten different volvas
Speaker 1: and they talk about how many women believe that they're
Speaker 1: deformed because pornography has made it's so impossible to like
Speaker 1: see yourself and you know, so it's I thought it
Speaker 1: was really this is where Goop Labs to me got
Speaker 1: really useful. I was like, well, I'm happy that women
Speaker 1: are seeing this because I think it will alert some
Speaker 1: women to the fact that like they're not deformed because
Speaker 1: they don't like a porn star. Um. So that's when
Speaker 1: the show, I think is powerful. When it's not powerful
Speaker 1: is when the show becomes about dieting and it's trying
Speaker 1: to normalize Gwyneth Paltrow's diet of like deprivation, and it's
Speaker 1: not healthy the way that those women try to keep
Speaker 1: your bodies and ship. I mean, that's all. It's not
Speaker 1: a lot of awareness about the whole ethos of Goop
Speaker 1: is like pseudoscience bullshit, that right, right, And they do say,
Speaker 1: like in the beginning of every episode where there's like
Speaker 1: a medical moment, they're like, please see a doctor. This
Speaker 1: would not be endorsed by any medical profession. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they are accountable in that way, like you're still showing
Speaker 1: that it's aspirational and yeah, such a fifty fifty show
Speaker 1: for me where it's like it definitely is. I enjoyed it,
Speaker 1: and I think I think Gwyneth like comes off like
Speaker 1: kind of interesting and even more compelling, like it's a star,
Speaker 1: Gweneth the star, but it's triggering. It's a triggering show,
Speaker 1: and I would I would imagine that it's very hard
Speaker 1: for a lot of people to watch and like funk,
Speaker 1: I'd say it to Gwyneth's damn face. But she knows,
Speaker 1: she knows. So that's the Arnold Netflix moment. Now here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Speaking of gay icons, we met one. We
Speaker 1: met one on separate occasions, separate occasions. Um we talked
Speaker 1: about each other to them, Um did it? We're talking
Speaker 1: about RuPaul? Talking about RuPaul. Matt, you were on What's
Speaker 1: the Tea? I was almost the tea and truly one
Speaker 1: of the craziest days of my life. And I gotta
Speaker 1: say surreal for an outside person to listen to. I
Speaker 1: spent about three hours through pall and can you can you?
Speaker 1: Can you talk? Asked me in this well we had
Speaker 1: we had a we had like me had a meeting
Speaker 1: and then um, which was insane. And then during the meeting,
Speaker 1: he was like, you gotta come be on my podcast
Speaker 1: because we're hitting it off. So I went into the podcast,
Speaker 1: which you can listen to my episode What's the Team.
Speaker 1: Surreal just to be sitting there with Rue and have
Speaker 1: talking to him interested in my life at all, and
Speaker 1: I was talking to him and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: like this is truly insane, Like to get to the
Speaker 1: point where like, truly one of my ails. You heroes
Speaker 1: think like you know, like probably him and like Kelly
Speaker 1: and like Mariah are like the people that I would
Speaker 1: and we might have to talk to rule about math
Speaker 1: and you guys like went like on an album by
Speaker 1: album breakdown, just like I got children bagging out with
Speaker 1: Rue about Mariah carry Like I mean, you guys really
Speaker 1: ran the gamut there in terms of like the biography
Speaker 1: of Matt Rodgers, because he talked about Katrina for a
Speaker 1: long It was so crazy. I felt like we really
Speaker 1: got a chance to like you get to know each other,
Speaker 1: and he's I mean, you're both good at this, but
Speaker 1: you're both gonna facilitating those meaningful, those meaningful nuggets out
Speaker 1: of each other. And then I I didn't know at
Speaker 1: the time that he was going to go do SNL,
Speaker 1: but when I found that out, I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, like, you're gonna have that moment. You guts
Speaker 1: to do that incredible sketch with him. Yeah, you want
Speaker 1: me to talk about my mien? Tell me. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess really haven't gotten talking about it. Rue notes
Speaker 1: Sudie tells me that he's hosting and over Christmas. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, my god, yeah and whatever,
Speaker 1: And so all this anticipation builds up and then Monday pitch,
Speaker 1: you know, we all wait outside Lawren's office and we
Speaker 1: go in and then you know, the door opens and
Speaker 1: people file in and then normally it's like very quiet
Speaker 1: and everyone's just very respectable and polite and sits down
Speaker 1: and whatever, and the host just sits there quietly and
Speaker 1: like nods of people coming in and it's great. Um,
Speaker 1: the door opens and people start filing in and Rude
Speaker 1: just goes, hey kitty girl, oh hey, squirrel friend, like
Speaker 1: just like starts to like enthusiastically greet people like I
Speaker 1: love just like people. You have to understand the energy
Speaker 1: then person energy is real. It's real. And then me
Speaker 1: and Alison Gates like stop in our tracks. We hear
Speaker 1: like rue Ru's voice coming out of the room and
Speaker 1: we're just like and I turned to her and I
Speaker 1: was like, I can't go in there. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is crazy to sing for people that actually get
Speaker 1: the Ruth yes, So I walked and so then we
Speaker 1: finally walk in and then Ruth sees me and goes say, dunaway,
Speaker 1: and then the whole room is like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: That was the first of many communal like room reactions
Speaker 1: of like oh because then he sees because then he starts,
Speaker 1: because then there's a some moment where everyone sits down
Speaker 1: and like the room like settles and he's just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you I know you and I know you,
Speaker 1: and then he points to eight way in the back.
Speaker 1: He goes and you, and then eight goes and then
Speaker 1: everyone in the room screams and like laughs and giggles.
Speaker 1: It's it was this infectious like carbonated energy and it
Speaker 1: was the funnest pitch ever. We all walk out and
Speaker 1: you know, calm and like, well that was the funnest
Speaker 1: pitch I've ever been a part of. It was joyful, joyful. Um.
Speaker 1: And then the next day he comes in. You know,
Speaker 1: we're we're, we're, we're we're pitching him stuff more stuff.
Speaker 1: And first he met with uh, Tom Campbell, his friend,
Speaker 1: the guy who came up with drag Grace was kind
Speaker 1: of there, I've met Tom. Yes, he's wonderful. Um was
Speaker 1: was was his pal who after the Emmys. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: And we sat down so ruined. Tom sit down with
Speaker 1: me and Ego and Ago and Rue hit it off
Speaker 1: just gangbusters, so fun. And then Rue is like, well
Speaker 1: I can do this chard Australian accents. And then he
Speaker 1: turns to me. He goes, Brizzie, you were born in
Speaker 1: Brazzie Brisbane, Like he knew shit about so I'm guessing
Speaker 1: he probably he read the he read the article, and
Speaker 1: then I and then I and then I brought you up.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're what's the t episode with my
Speaker 1: best friend in the world. Matt Rodgers just came out.
Speaker 1: He He's like he, me and Sudie are like a
Speaker 1: trio and like blah blah, blah. He was like, yes,
Speaker 1: I loved him. It was just so so like it
Speaker 1: was just like just softened as soon as I mentioned you,
Speaker 1: and he was like, yes, just very fondly like thought
Speaker 1: of you. But but seeing RW and Ego like hit
Speaker 1: it off, I was like, this is gonna be a
Speaker 1: good week for them. And it absolutely. I got two
Speaker 1: sketches on did Throsty Cops with him. It was beautiful, beautiful,
Speaker 1: And then and then me and James were working on
Speaker 1: had this coal miner's idea. We were like we wanted
Speaker 1: to do some Dynasty like parody for the longest time.
Speaker 1: We ruse perfect for it. And then like I texted
Speaker 1: James on Monday, I was like, maybe like maybe we're
Speaker 1: coal miners, like something super like blue collar and gritty,
Speaker 1: and he was like I love that. And so then
Speaker 1: James and I meet with RU and a different meeting
Speaker 1: that night. It was just four fucking gay men squawk
Speaker 1: met James, Tom Brew squawking, quoting fucking you know, Liz
Speaker 1: Taylor and Kim Novak like throwing shade at each other, Dyan,
Speaker 1: Carol Must It was so so so fun and I
Speaker 1: was just like this. I was like and and so
Speaker 1: That's when I started like I was putting pleasure myself
Speaker 1: the whole time, and I was I was like this,
Speaker 1: this never happens, even even though I'm like on my
Speaker 1: second year here. It's like I know that this is
Speaker 1: not a not a lot of crest. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is so like infectious, and this is the week
Speaker 1: to like go like yeah, like fire on all cylinders.
Speaker 1: And so I stayed there on Tuesday night to like
Speaker 1: six am, longer than I've ever stayed ever, just writing writing, writing, UM.
Speaker 1: Went home Wednesday was a great table read. And then
Speaker 1: like throughout the course of the week, like things just
Speaker 1: kind of fell through. And then the call Miner sketch
Speaker 1: got cut for time UM, and that really just bumped
Speaker 1: me out. And it was a lesson. It was a
Speaker 1: lesson where I was like I I both allowed myself
Speaker 1: to be bummed up because it was like this, there's
Speaker 1: not gonna be another host. I grew until Rue comes
Speaker 1: back um. And then so I allowed myself to be disappointed.
Speaker 1: But then I also was like, you know, like this
Speaker 1: is this is a lesson, this is I'm not going
Speaker 1: to internalize this in any bitter way. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: like no this feeling and just sort of like let
Speaker 1: it sort of enrich my whole, like and ultimately you
Speaker 1: are slaying well, it's just I was just like, I
Speaker 1: just I mean, we can say you're doing really well.
Speaker 1: I just put a lot of pressure on myself because
Speaker 1: it was rude. Yeah that's all it hoarse, but you can't.
Speaker 1: I mean, it had nothing to do with I know,
Speaker 1: it's just bad luck. It's just bad luck. And then
Speaker 1: we still that job. It's still sucking hard totally. And
Speaker 1: then the week before with miss watt Miss j J.
Speaker 1: Watt Um wrote a sketch that fucking slated table and
Speaker 1: then bombed a dress and of course he got caught
Speaker 1: and I was not surprised, but that was But then
Speaker 1: I told myself after that I was not too upset.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what that was, like the
Speaker 1: full Like that was the biggest gap I could have
Speaker 1: experienced where something killed, killed, killed at table, bombed, no laughs,
Speaker 1: silent address. I was like, it's not going to get
Speaker 1: any worse than that, Like that chasm is not going
Speaker 1: to get any bigger, like the difference, and like now
Speaker 1: I know what that feels like, and I can just
Speaker 1: like move move about my life. But then the next
Speaker 1: week with through, it was just like I just put
Speaker 1: so much pressure on myself and then I was my
Speaker 1: body was falling apart, right, But I was like, I
Speaker 1: gotta like from this. And then you guys were off
Speaker 1: the next week, and we're off the next week and
Speaker 1: then and then and then I'm here. But anyway, that
Speaker 1: was a long that was a lot of room. No,
Speaker 1: but I mean the fact that Rue came into both
Speaker 1: of our alives around the same time, that was so
Speaker 1: wild and truly it was so easy to talk to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. I mean. And also the first
Speaker 1: time we sat down and it was like a meeting,
Speaker 1: so I said how are you and he goes, I
Speaker 1: don't see how that's any of your business. And I
Speaker 1: laughed and I was like, you're right, it's not, and
Speaker 1: I'm bad for asking. And then he laughed and he
Speaker 1: was like I do that to everyone, and I was
Speaker 1: like yeah, and I basically like, I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: like you would imagine that people a lot of people
Speaker 1: probably are like weird around him, Like sure, I'm so sorry,
Speaker 1: I asked, yeah, yeah, yeah, weeks and he's just like
Speaker 1: a goof he doesn't take left too seriously, which we love, etcetera.
Speaker 1: We love. We know that's um um we I want
Speaker 1: to talk. Well, we talked a little bit about Rue Rue,
Speaker 1: so now we should talk about I have news. I
Speaker 1: have theme park news the own and I went to
Speaker 1: Disneyland the other day. It's trying to get a Rise
Speaker 1: of the Resistance. We did not get on. But one
Speaker 1: has not done Rise of the Resistance at Disney's all right,
Speaker 1: I have done it and have my review. Come on, gag.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to ride that one. Gonna have to
Speaker 1: get on that one. I'm gonna have to enjoy that
Speaker 1: One'm gonna have to say there's ray on that One's
Speaker 1: gonna have to get very scared of Kylo Ren on
Speaker 1: that one. I'm gonna have to do a little drop
Speaker 1: on that one. I'm gonna have to get my life
Speaker 1: on that one. I'm gonna have to get very early,
Speaker 1: get there very early in the morning on that one.
Speaker 1: So I was at Walt disney World after we were
Speaker 1: in Porto Viar and I went with my boyfriend Jared,
Speaker 1: and he could not wake up early enough. Then you
Speaker 1: went got yourself. So I went by myself. But at
Speaker 1: the same system where you book a boarding yes, And
Speaker 1: I was literally I was there at literally six thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning and I got yeah, park opens it well,
Speaker 1: that park up in a day at like seven. So
Speaker 1: I ended up getting there getting a boarding group because
Speaker 1: it's like getting to the park signing to get up
Speaker 1: and then maybe you get on the right. It's insane.
Speaker 1: I got on it. Wow. The whole thing is like
Speaker 1: twenty one minutes long. I love that there's like three
Speaker 1: different pre shows. All the characters are there, Like Galaxy's Edge,
Speaker 1: I've been saying, kind of sucks because like where are
Speaker 1: the characters, where's the fun Millennium Falcon Right, it sucks.
Speaker 1: Rise in the Resistance makes the whole God, I mean,
Speaker 1: like it's so good. Really try to go. And Bowen
Speaker 1: and I were there the other day at eight am
Speaker 1: when the park opened to Disneyland, and we still did
Speaker 1: not get We got we got there at seven five
Speaker 1: the park of day. We still didn't get truly crazy,
Speaker 1: but but we went to Galaxy Sager and I gotta say,
Speaker 1: you're you're saying we are the characters. We literally saw
Speaker 1: Ray and Chewy, but that was like, not that's not
Speaker 1: the norm. That's not the norm. But anyway, I saw Stormtroopers,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm there. This right is the
Speaker 1: next level. I got. I can't wait. This right is
Speaker 1: the next level. And you gasped many times, and I
Speaker 1: feel bad that we went and then's gone. But we'll
Speaker 1: get John. I I'm not I'm not quite Rodger's level
Speaker 1: in my life. Anyway, devotion to the part, I had
Speaker 1: to give my update on that one. Um, and I
Speaker 1: just want to say, UM, to wrap things up, there's
Speaker 1: a development coming and you may have been seeing, yes,
Speaker 1: the Quimby of it all. What now Quimby Quimby Quick Bites.
Speaker 1: Quick Bites is an app y'all that's going to be
Speaker 1: like a stream that Flix for apps. But it is
Speaker 1: all eight episodes roughly, and I have a show coming
Speaker 1: out on it that Bone is on called game It's
Speaker 1: called Game Show. And I'm gonna be talking about this
Speaker 1: on the podcast because I want any readers to download Quimby.
Speaker 1: I support this. You've got to download Quibby because I
Speaker 1: think Game Show could pop off you if you guys
Speaker 1: absolutely support. It's very good, very fun, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: more about it. But the Quimby of it all is
Speaker 1: something that's happening in the culture and I had to
Speaker 1: mention and we saw it on Oscar's Night when every
Speaker 1: other ad was Quimby and the super Bowl and the
Speaker 1: sea and there's going to be more coming. But listen
Speaker 1: and there's more. There's there are there is more Quimby
Speaker 1: news um to be announced in both of our lives, honey, honey,
Speaker 1: just do wait. Um but anyway, that was our culture
Speaker 1: catch up and we are going to do I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey, absolutely, because it is an episode of
Speaker 1: Lost Cultures Us after all, Um, let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 1: Just so you guys know if you guys are just
Speaker 1: joining us here on our new family, our new home
Speaker 1: and radio. Um, we are Lost Culture Raised Us and
Speaker 1: we do a segment, one segment called I don't think
Speaker 1: we take one minute to rant against something in pop culture.
Speaker 1: We also do live shows, um but and I are
Speaker 1: going to announce some live shows soon, probably a New
Speaker 1: York and Los Angeles, no promises, but we are really
Speaker 1: looking forward to getting back on the road and doing more.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, because they are our favorite thing.
Speaker 1: There are our favorite thing, and just too, I might
Speaker 1: as well sort of make a little statement on this. UM.
Speaker 1: A lot of the touring cities that we went to
Speaker 1: last year, the recordings UM ended up sort of at
Speaker 1: one changer or another being compromised or unusable, and it
Speaker 1: ended up ultimately being a network issue where they didn't
Speaker 1: publish them even though they had the audio. True. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just what it is. Yeah. Um so if you're
Speaker 1: looking for those episodes to come out, unfortunately I don't
Speaker 1: think they were going to come out, and it truly
Speaker 1: breaks my heart and I but it was lose. I
Speaker 1: do lose. I actually sleep over because there's shows where
Speaker 1: all every one of those shows was killed and we
Speaker 1: just want to let everyone know like it wasn't because
Speaker 1: any like city wasn't like a good show. They were
Speaker 1: all such good shows and we were so excited to
Speaker 1: have every single one of them on the podcast. Then um,
Speaker 1: it just didn't happen. But you know, we're sorry about that.
Speaker 1: If you were a performer on one of our shows
Speaker 1: that didn't get published, but we probably were excited about it.
Speaker 1: But you get back, you killed. So let me just
Speaker 1: quickly quickly, quickly, quickly shout out all of the city
Speaker 1: very quickly. Uh So, Portland Seattle, San Francisco, Vancouver, Boston, Philly,
Speaker 1: d C, Dallas, Houston. I'm sorry DC and Houston we
Speaker 1: ended up canceling. Dallas were so sorry. Um, we will
Speaker 1: be back and all the shows were so much fun
Speaker 1: and we had a true blast and so we'll be
Speaker 1: back very soon. We'll be back. Okay, But this is
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, Matt, I have one. Do
Speaker 1: you have one? Um? I do have one? Okay, why
Speaker 1: don't you start this one? Okay? Cool, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: Matt Rogers. I don't think so many time starts now.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, that everyone I've ever hooked
Speaker 1: up with in my life gets uh literally the hottest
Speaker 1: um face and body two and a half years later.
Speaker 1: But this is a phenomenon that is happening to just me. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: I have an affliction where I am sort of like
Speaker 1: Dane Cook and good Luck Chuck, but instead of getting married,
Speaker 1: you get an incredible face and body that you do
Speaker 1: not have prior. Um. This does not go to This
Speaker 1: is not saying that you were not attractive at the time.
Speaker 1: It's just that after you hook up with me, approximately
Speaker 1: twenty four months later, you will be the hottest person
Speaker 1: of all time, a model like Linda Evangelie stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey, that this is happening. I don't
Speaker 1: like that I am magic, but I am. I'm sort
Speaker 1: of like Harry Budini and will kill me one day.
Speaker 1: Of course Harry Hoosini famously and incorrectly died and um
Speaker 1: magic accident. Yes, UM, I support people becoming hot uh
Speaker 1: in their life, but it frustrates me. I think we
Speaker 1: should time this out better. If you're gonna hook up
Speaker 1: with me, you should be hot now. UM. I promised
Speaker 1: to stay the same um seven that I am now
Speaker 1: and that's one minute. So you better not hook up
Speaker 1: with mount unless you're at your fucking peak. Well, I
Speaker 1: feel like here's the thing. It's just frustrating because some
Speaker 1: something like I'll see someone I hooked up with, like
Speaker 1: in Outside of the year two thousand and eleven, and
Speaker 1: I see them now and I'm like, oh you are, Um,
Speaker 1: you've made a deal with the devil. Okay, I want
Speaker 1: to know, can you can you well believe we can
Speaker 1: bleep this out? Um, I'll tell you off, my okay,
Speaker 1: tell me off. But literally I just scrolled through my
Speaker 1: phone and it's like maybe this is just the disease
Speaker 1: of Instagram and every ones like like like just posting
Speaker 1: only good to them. But it's shocking what happens when, um,
Speaker 1: you hook up with me, because years later in your life, um,
Speaker 1: you will be Samahi beautiful. That's and that's the that's
Speaker 1: the end, that's the end point. Anyway, that's my I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I love that. I'm sorry, but you
Speaker 1: know what, You're in a beautiful relationship now, Yes, And
Speaker 1: I love my man and I am and I love
Speaker 1: with him. That's good. I remain so so safe. I
Speaker 1: just said I'm in love with him, and you go,
Speaker 1: that's good, that's great. I'm really happy for you. Um
Speaker 1: felt me. Well, I basically, oh, well, actually I should
Speaker 1: have done my I don't think so, honey to Ryah,
Speaker 1: who still pop? You on the goddamn wait list? And
Speaker 1: let's well we have our theories about why. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm very upset they wait listed me. They are still
Speaker 1: wait listing me. And miss Phoebe Robinson is she's still
Speaker 1: wait It was well she was wait listed for a while.
Speaker 1: Well now she's got a great now she's in a
Speaker 1: great relationship. But um, you know is something's going on.
Speaker 1: Something might be going on there, Riya, I don't know, um,
Speaker 1: But anyway, this is bone I don't think so. And
Speaker 1: the thing about bone NS, I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: is his time starts now? I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: The casual way we are talking about coronavirus, I mean
Speaker 1: it's both being sensationalized to completely completely be driven by
Speaker 1: it's it's it's capitalizing on fear, and it's also in
Speaker 1: this weird way like twisting it, where it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: but the casualties that are happening all across Asia don't
Speaker 1: really matter, and it's completely trivial. Literally, my cousin is
Speaker 1: in Wuhan right now. He's a journalist. He went with
Speaker 1: a bunch of doctors from Leon. He is at risk
Speaker 1: and it's really shaking up my family. And it's like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, so you guys should all just remember that
Speaker 1: there are real fucking human beings who are going into
Speaker 1: these insane, insane, insane environments and settings and in their
Speaker 1: lives on the line to like try to fix this.
Speaker 1: It's gonna get a little worse before it gets better.
Speaker 1: But I promise and I hope and I pray that
Speaker 1: it will all end soon. But you guys have to
Speaker 1: stop casually like making fucking jokes about like wearing dumb
Speaker 1: face masks and ship and like it's so sad to
Speaker 1: me and truly this is weird. But like it's tough
Speaker 1: to like bring this up in certain settings where I
Speaker 1: would you would think that, like the humanity wouldn't be
Speaker 1: lost on certain people, but it's it so is, and
Speaker 1: like close friends of mine just are are We're just
Speaker 1: are so quick to like again trivialize it. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: you guys, well, it's racism, and it's it's I don't
Speaker 1: I believe that for a lot of people, it's not
Speaker 1: conscious racism, but that's racism. It's ingrained. And so basically
Speaker 1: because this is happening in a world where like we
Speaker 1: said before, it's the reason why you know, this is
Speaker 1: very trivial to mention in the same breath as this,
Speaker 1: But it's like why we're not recognizing like people from
Speaker 1: the parasite cast who should be it's because there is
Speaker 1: a facelessness. And when it's part of Western culture, is
Speaker 1: you completely wash out and humanize a part of the world.
Speaker 1: There's something that goes on in like the sort of
Speaker 1: colonized brain, let's say, where you just don't register an
Speaker 1: Asian face, like dying or being a good actor. Right,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's why it's honestly, it's why the attacks,
Speaker 1: the atom bombs, that's why it's like, let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: And yes, and here's the fundation. I'm gonna get fucking
Speaker 1: real for just a quick little second. The people who
Speaker 1: fucking say that all I do is play Asian characters
Speaker 1: on SNL. It probably has to do with the fact
Speaker 1: that I'm Asian, But the fact that you guys think
Speaker 1: that all I do is play Asian characters as a
Speaker 1: joke means that you think that being Asian is an
Speaker 1: unusual character trait. So it collapses down to you seeing
Speaker 1: me on screen and going, well, that person is weird
Speaker 1: because they're Asian, I guess, and that's all that this
Speaker 1: person can do. Fuck off. It is a bad faith
Speaker 1: thought for you to think. It's just a bad faith
Speaker 1: argument for you to think, well, bone doesn't have the range,
Speaker 1: But that's because you're selectively choosing to look at the
Speaker 1: parts where it has happened to have, like, like the
Speaker 1: characters that I play have happened to do with my race?
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Yes, of course it does. I
Speaker 1: think that that there's a lot of examination that could
Speaker 1: happen right now on this moment, like and I really
Speaker 1: think that, like like it's it's sometimes like it feels
Speaker 1: like there's an opportunity right now for people to step
Speaker 1: back and not feel like attacked or offended because like
Speaker 1: these things are being called out, but it's like these
Speaker 1: things need to be examined and my words, because it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's very real what Bone is saying, and
Speaker 1: my words examine them. So I'm in that, as I've
Speaker 1: said to miss Matt Rodgers, but I wanted to this is,
Speaker 1: this is, this is. But also I want to make
Speaker 1: clear I mean basically passed it. I'm a little deader
Speaker 1: inside than I was before, and so it's not really
Speaker 1: getting to me anymore. I'm truly that well, you left Twitter,
Speaker 1: I left. These people are in my but my sort
Speaker 1: of the thing that I keep reminding myself going forward
Speaker 1: is I'm like, oh, well, people out there have septic
Speaker 1: tanks for brains, and it's not my business to like
Speaker 1: try to like mold that poop water into like actual
Speaker 1: Gray Manner. Look anyway, the world, the world, she cray
Speaker 1: and gonna have to keep my distance, Gonna have to
Speaker 1: keep my diston's on that one. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: call out that to call out. But the good news
Speaker 1: is is back to give you a healthy mix of
Speaker 1: what is football and fuck you for being racistic that
Speaker 1: those are truly the two poles of this show. Um Uh,
Speaker 1: We're so happy to be back. We're so having back,
Speaker 1: so excited to be back. We're so we were on fire.
Speaker 1: We're on fire. We love, love love our new friends
Speaker 1: at I Heeart, our new family. Um and we have
Speaker 1: a very good feeling about this. Oh, we've got such
Speaker 1: good episodes coming up. Let's just say that the episodes upcoming. Baby,
Speaker 1: we got Nicole Buyer, we got Gayly Admit, we got
Speaker 1: a Bryant and back to you next month. And maybe,
Speaker 1: just maybe, Bone and I will stick a couple of
Speaker 1: these solo episodes in there. I think that there would
Speaker 1: be It would feel good to hear us get a
Speaker 1: little bit topical every now and I like that, and
Speaker 1: I just like the kids that you know, just the
Speaker 1: tone of these is a little more looser, yes, and
Speaker 1: we love the culture catch up and we love enjoy
Speaker 1: doing them. Sometimes during speaking and exchanging cultural ideas with
Speaker 1: my friend, you can you can stumble upon truth. You
Speaker 1: didn't know that you felt. I love that beautifully. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to reward that one. Gonna have to know,
Speaker 1: we kind of have to confirm the wording on that one.
Speaker 1: I loved lock it in on that one. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: We end up with the song. We end every episode
Speaker 1: with a song. RS B City? Why do I want
Speaker 1: to be a supy R S B City? Dozy? Oh,
Speaker 1: we didn't even talk about the Jennifer Hudson Andreath the trailer.
Speaker 1: It's good, we'll talk about it. Bye bye,
