Speaker 1: But anyway, stream the album comes. See us on tour,
Speaker 1: and if you have already, I love you so much.
Speaker 1: It's been the joy of my life meeting you, guys.
Speaker 1: I love you. Okay, here's lost culturistas. Look Mayer, Oh,
Speaker 1: I see you my own and look over there is
Speaker 1: that culture. Yes, yes, last culture ja da last culture
Speaker 1: restas calling. Wait. I have a question for you. Did
Speaker 1: you end up going to Madonna?
Speaker 2: I am going to apologize profusely to the PA people, well,
Speaker 2: first and foremost to Madonna for not going yeah, but
Speaker 2: also to the lovely people at the Barclay Center. Look,
Speaker 2: the lovely people at H and m who were going
Speaker 2: to generously put me up in their finest silks to
Speaker 2: go and attend the conference, to go in their little bucks.
Speaker 2: But you know what, I'm gonna throw my other SNL
Speaker 2: girlies under the bus. They invited some of us. We
Speaker 2: all were like, we're so at zero, Like it was
Speaker 2: not gonna be the right vibe.
Speaker 1: I think it's just fine. Also, you know she didn't
Speaker 1: end up going on for so right, Like she makes
Speaker 1: you wait because bit she's Madonna, et cetera. It's been
Speaker 1: said before, will be said again. I'm sure she'll say it. Bitch,
Speaker 1: I'm Madonna. You're gonna wait for me, and you guys
Speaker 1: can't be waiting up. You gotta get your beauty wrestlers.
Speaker 2: No Madonna is on Lauren Hill time in terms of
Speaker 2: live performance or I'm sorry to miss Lauren Hill, and
Speaker 2: we cannot rush these people.
Speaker 1: They deserve the time.
Speaker 2: But it's not gonna work with my current spirit and
Speaker 2: this time, this time. This is not a complaint.
Speaker 1: I'm being very.
Speaker 2: Sensitive about this. I'm not complaining that my life is
Speaker 2: any harder than anyone else's. I just think it was
Speaker 2: not going to work for Madonna Celebration Tour which it
Speaker 2: looks fabulous. It looks like everyone's having a great time.
Speaker 1: I've been paying my respects because I know I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to go either. Can I tell you
Speaker 1: what song goes so hard? Tell me absolutely? And someone
Speaker 1: said on someone said on Twitter, like, if Madonna's going
Speaker 1: to do one thing, it's perform like she is out here.
Speaker 1: Were you going to say no? I wasn't. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say gang bang off. M DNA, Oh my, such
Speaker 1: a shocking name. I do love m DNA. M DNA
Speaker 1: kind of got m DNA goes in very hard. I
Speaker 1: love give me all your love. I just love the
Speaker 1: whole like, ol you the Madonna, Madona? Why oh you you?
Speaker 1: It's so funny. I mean, I we love MDNA. We've
Speaker 1: never said anything otherwise. I just it feels like sacrilege
Speaker 1: that this my year of going to and celebrating all
Speaker 1: the divas, all the icons to miss Madonna. And a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, a bunch of my friends went
Speaker 1: to LA for Krishiker's birthday and they saw Kylie Minogue
Speaker 1: in what looks to be such a stunning room minutes.
Speaker 1: But I did see Kylie at World Pride, so I
Speaker 1: actually checked my Kylie box before this year it was
Speaker 1: even domin But isn't that unbelievable? And I have a
Speaker 1: feeling this might be our last episode of the year,
Speaker 1: so this can very much be wrap up because I
Speaker 1: just don't think we're going to do one for the
Speaker 1: last week, So this might be the last last Coach
Speaker 1: of the year.
Speaker 2: That's okay, let's make it recap episode.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's go. It's unbelievable that that was this
Speaker 1: year that I was in Sydney, Australia, this year vomiting
Speaker 1: in ubers because of a mixture of alcohol abuse and
Speaker 1: mourning and grief and vomiting all over myself, and then
Speaker 1: finding myself at the Kylie Minogue concert a different day.
Speaker 1: I didn't go to the Kylie Minogue concert covered in vomit,
Speaker 1: but going to see her at well probably pre Padam
Speaker 1: that was this year. That was where I was. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that was three padumb Oh. I have to say.
Speaker 1: One of the things that we have to always remember
Speaker 1: is that Paddam Padam was not just always here.
Speaker 2: No, it feels like an eternal song, an eternal sort
Speaker 2: of missive from the ancients.
Speaker 1: Oh one hundred percent. This is something that actually was
Speaker 1: born in the early summer and allowed it to be
Speaker 1: sung of the Summer and the winner of Record of
Speaker 1: the Year at the Lost Culture is those Culture Awards
Speaker 1: a fate that a lot of people didn't see coming
Speaker 1: for it, but we knew from the beginning.
Speaker 2: Well, we were so lucky to have her perform at
Speaker 2: the show, even though she looked suspiciously like Patty Harrison.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, do we reveal at this time that
Speaker 1: it was Patty the whole time was finally pulled back
Speaker 1: the curtain on that.
Speaker 2: Let's take a second and just appreciate Patty Harrison's year
Speaker 2: before we get into ours. Yeah, let's talk about Patty Harrison.
Speaker 1: That girl, I think she has a futures. She's got
Speaker 1: big things coming. And by big things coming, I mean
Speaker 1: the big things on her chest. Oh my god, her titties.
Speaker 1: She's got big fake tits that are infected and she
Speaker 1: does a show about it. Me seeing her do that
Speaker 1: show in Edinburgh was this year? So many divas, let's
Speaker 1: talk about your year. I just want to rattle off.
Speaker 2: Of the things that you've been through, Okay, not been through,
Speaker 2: but that you've gotten to experience.
Speaker 1: Now, let's do it. Let's get it, let's get it
Speaker 1: holistically going well, okay, I just holistic episode.
Speaker 2: Before we get holistic, I just want to put out there.
Speaker 2: I just want to put Clay on the table. Okay,
Speaker 2: my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 1: You're always Clay.
Speaker 2: Sydney World, Pride, Edinburgh Fringe, Lost Culture, Sis Culture Awards.
Speaker 2: These are the things that we've just talked about. My gosh,
Speaker 2: multiple shows, multiple performances. Have you heard of Christmas? The album,
Speaker 2: the music videos, the visualizers Rockefella Senna and Rockefella Senna. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we went there at Kelly Clarkson show. Included in the
Speaker 2: multiple shows. A wonderful sort of traveling to London, to Amsterdam,
Speaker 2: to so much, all of these things. I think you've
Speaker 2: had a really eventful, textured, let's just say textured year,
Speaker 2: can I I'm going to be one hundred percent real Okay?
Speaker 1: This year? Right, it couldn't have started worse. I think
Speaker 1: I spent the whole first half of it like not myself.
Speaker 1: I think I was grieving and mourning a relationship that
Speaker 1: ended for maybe what I would call but my therapist
Speaker 1: would say to stop being hard on myself. But a
Speaker 1: disproportionate amount of time, like truly difficult, and then to
Speaker 1: the Christmas of it all, which really took.
Speaker 2: Up the last half of the year, literally the second
Speaker 2: half of the year July to to somebody, yeah, mm hmm.
Speaker 1: And it's been one of the most interesting years of
Speaker 1: my life because it has been like truly every emotion.
Speaker 1: Like I was looking back on it and I was thinking, wow,
Speaker 1: I really always thought this was like one of the
Speaker 1: worst years of my life. I was like really struggling,
Speaker 1: like emotionally. Looking back on it, I think it was
Speaker 1: an important year because I did learn a lot. And
Speaker 1: I think that like even those periods of like really
Speaker 1: doing bad, because I was really doing bad. I mean,
Speaker 1: like me going to all those concerts and traveling that
Speaker 1: much was entirely a cover for me just not wanting
Speaker 1: to sit with myself because I was too fucking depressed.
Speaker 1: I was just getting stoned every single day, sitting in
Speaker 1: my apartment eating bad. I don't think I've ever ate
Speaker 1: worse in a single year than this year. It was horrible.
Speaker 1: And then I like put my whole energy into this
Speaker 1: Christmas thing, which usually every year if I am having
Speaker 1: a tough one saves me and brings me out and
Speaker 1: this year. It's been really interesting because I feel like
Speaker 1: I hit like the maximum on this bit, which is
Speaker 1: the Christmas Project, because literally when I started it in
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, I thought, oh, the thing that's funny about
Speaker 1: it is Christmas ubiquity. Like that to me is what's
Speaker 1: the funniest thing about it. That's the whole bit is
Speaker 1: like you can become ubiquitous during Christmas if you just
Speaker 1: nail it during the Christmas season, And so then all
Speaker 1: these years later, the reality is you are Christmas ubiquity
Speaker 1: to say yes to every single opportunity. And I am
Speaker 1: so tired. I'm having the best time of my life,
Speaker 1: but I am so tired. It is so weird the
Speaker 1: way that the Internet of it all just riding that
Speaker 1: wave too, just like the interesting things that happen on
Speaker 1: the Internet when you put yourself out there this much
Speaker 1: for this project has been so interesting, So as a
Speaker 1: meta project in a way, I feel very proud and
Speaker 1: happy to have landed the and stuck the bit, and
Speaker 1: like the album did great, and I fucking love meeting
Speaker 1: everyone at the shows and being on the road and
Speaker 1: performing the material that I still like performing. But I
Speaker 1: am fucking exhausted, and ultimately I will leave the year
Speaker 1: having been like you know what, I got through it.
Speaker 1: It was an emotionally really difficult time. Professionally it was
Speaker 1: an incredible time, and there's positive and negative things about
Speaker 1: both that I didn't realize before. So it was a
Speaker 1: fucking growing year. Absolutely, and next year, if I have resolutions,
Speaker 1: it's be better with money, way less internet, like the
Speaker 1: Twitter's going kiss goodbye to our Twitter.
Speaker 2: Can we announce here once and for all this has
Speaker 2: been months in the making. We're taking down our Twitter.
Speaker 1: And we are it is no longer mentally healthy.
Speaker 2: I am still keeping my porn alt unfortunately, and by
Speaker 2: porn at, I need to do it. I'm not posting anything.
Speaker 2: It's just I'm aggregating the porn girls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so way better with money spending, way less Internet,
Speaker 1: and overall just like more balance, less extremes, less going
Speaker 1: everywhere and doing every fucking thing because I can't fucking
Speaker 1: handle myself, and even professionally like no longer saying yes
Speaker 1: to everything, just because I feel like if I take
Speaker 1: a break one day that the album will flop or
Speaker 1: like it's all on me. I just push myself so
Speaker 1: fucking hard and then just because you show up and
Speaker 1: have a positive energy and like work really fucking hard,
Speaker 1: like that doesn't always mean, like operating in this kind
Speaker 1: of environment of like the internet and like the press thing,
Speaker 1: et cetera, that it's always gonna be positive. And so
Speaker 1: just tons of lessons learned and then a bunch of
Speaker 1: personal things too, Like red flags are red flags. You know,
Speaker 1: it's nice to take your time, but that's for me.
Speaker 1: That's what I think I would say, girl, you have
Speaker 1: grown like a giant stock to the sky. I got
Speaker 1: twenty two tattooed on my arm because twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: was like a year where I really like felt like
Speaker 1: everything I did paid off and it reminded me to
Speaker 1: take risks. But I probably should have that fucking number
Speaker 1: twenty three tattooed on my arm because it was actually
Speaker 1: more important. I think it was a more of a test.
Speaker 1: It was less constant high. There were a lot more
Speaker 1: lows and sustained lows, but ultimately like a triumphant good
Speaker 1: year where I learned things and at least have a
Speaker 1: plan going forward. Yes, about like the way I can
Speaker 1: make my life better doing the things that we do.
Speaker 2: You might have to get an arm extension surgery, because
Speaker 2: you might keep getting those years that tattooed on you
Speaker 2: are going to learn every year.
Speaker 1: It's just like, wow, this was another year tattooed on
Speaker 1: my body, to the point where I'm the most tattooed
Speaker 1: woman in America. And it's just numbers. I'm like Adele,
Speaker 1: but with my own body and dumber. That's a sleigh.
Speaker 1: I think that's a huge sleigh. Now, go on, girl,
Speaker 1: I want to hear about my girls. Roses, thorns, peaks, valleys,
Speaker 1: the summery. The recap of Bowen Yang's twenty twenty fucking three.
Speaker 2: Well, I think mine started really harrowingly too. I think
Speaker 2: January tewond I was on a plane to go to
Speaker 2: London and thus began my like yo yoing between two
Speaker 2: I was gonna say time zones, but really two nations.
Speaker 2: And then after a while it not becoming so good
Speaker 2: for my physical and mental state, and that, on top
Speaker 2: of working what's already a pretty demanding job emotionally, mentally, physically,
Speaker 2: was a wonderful illustration of my limits as a person,
Speaker 2: and I think that is actually quite beautiful to know
Speaker 2: about yourself. I think I took time this year as
Speaker 2: everyone knows to like really gather myself because it got bad.
Speaker 2: I think I had one of the lowest lows of
Speaker 2: my life just on on an awareness level. And the
Speaker 2: big takeaway from that was not only like personal things
Speaker 2: and self knowledge, but I was just like, oh, the
Speaker 2: people who matter a lot of who are the listeners
Speaker 2: of this podcast, can understand where I'm coming from, and
Speaker 2: they will. There were many moments this year where like
Speaker 2: rpkfs were like very they got it, you know, they
Speaker 2: got it, and they got it when we were comfortable
Speaker 2: or not comfortable with something, they respected it completely and
Speaker 2: that is extremely rare and we are so thankful and
Speaker 2: it just speaks to how how thoughtful.
Speaker 1: Everyone is and we really appreciate that. They're the best.
Speaker 1: They're the best. And I will say again, I fucking
Speaker 1: love meeting you guys, because you're all gorgeous. Like literally,
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with the people that listen to our podcast.
Speaker 2: I mean, like sleigh legends, you guys are great, but
Speaker 2: keep going. That's basically it. It was just a lot
Speaker 2: of ping ponging that was like the main thing for
Speaker 2: the first half, and then with the strikes that was
Speaker 2: really tough but also necessary and it was nice to
Speaker 2: sort of feel some sort of community with other writers,
Speaker 2: other actors.
Speaker 1: I think you and I also got.
Speaker 2: To educate ourselves on how this whole business works in
Speaker 2: nice ways, in ways that like are illuminating but also troubling.
Speaker 2: And I am loving the ankler. If anyone wants any
Speaker 2: sort of insight into the entertainment industry, it's.
Speaker 1: A good substack. This is my your substacks, honestly.
Speaker 2: And then ooh gosh, and then going right back into
Speaker 2: work was a really abrupt shift, but one that I
Speaker 2: think we were all grateful to do or to sort
Speaker 2: of go through. And we did eight shows in ten
Speaker 2: weeks at SNL, which is a lot. Normally we get
Speaker 2: those spaced out of it or we have some more
Speaker 2: padding in between runs, and I think we all.
Speaker 1: Met that challenge well.
Speaker 2: And I'm really proud of everybody who works with the
Speaker 2: show cast, writer's crew, And there's a real sense of community,
Speaker 2: not community, of just like siblinghood, Like I think everyone
Speaker 2: the vibes are really good there right now, and that
Speaker 2: is a collective sort of mindset that we all are
Speaker 2: putting aside ego as much as possible, even though it's
Speaker 2: extremely difficult at that job. Everyone is supportive. It's been
Speaker 2: really nice. I love seeing everybody shine. We've got a
Speaker 2: good bunch of people, And I think on a cast level,
Speaker 2: I kind of am really into the fact that SNL
Speaker 2: is having this like ensemble era to quote join Bay
Speaker 2: Harfred Armison is Joy Bahars, So what who cares? It's like,
Speaker 2: I don't think a show like Guess and No necessarily
Speaker 2: needs like an identifiable star, Like it was amazing to
Speaker 2: have Kate back, and like, I love and miss the
Speaker 2: Kate Cecily eighty era where you had like these like
Speaker 2: people that like really drove and led the show. I
Speaker 2: kind of like that we're all sharing the wealth of it.
Speaker 1: I honestly do. Yeah, I will say like you have
Speaker 1: seemed in this because you just said, like it's been
Speaker 1: a lot of shows in a short amount of time
Speaker 1: and going right back in et cetera. I think that
Speaker 1: what makes me so happy is you seem the happiest
Speaker 1: there that you've ever been. That's true, I can feel
Speaker 1: that from you. And I also think that you have
Speaker 1: been absolutely fucking crushing it too, and it feels like
Speaker 1: you're excited creatively and professionally, and maybe that is because
Speaker 1: the ensemble feels right or the vibes feel right. But
Speaker 1: you've been so good obviously on the show and it
Speaker 1: seems like personally like and I'm just like so happy
Speaker 1: to see it because I know how bad some segments
Speaker 1: of the year were.
Speaker 2: I felt bad in the past, and like that's not
Speaker 2: to say that, Like, I mean, the winter is always tough,
Speaker 2: just emotionally, vibes wise, we're all just like depressed from
Speaker 2: the cold and whatever. But yeah, I have really settled
Speaker 2: into something nice. I'm very lucky there. I think I'm
Speaker 2: heard there. I think people there is a level of
Speaker 2: care and thought for me. It's not been easy. It's
Speaker 2: been as challenging of a year as any. I just
Speaker 2: really each and every person there at the show right now,
Speaker 2: I really appreciate and enjoy and they're all very good at.
Speaker 1: What they do. Like every body, everybody. That's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, did Becka say A certified fave of
Speaker 1: my dad? I mean Bowen, mister Ramos. Let us not
Speaker 1: go without saying that there was an abb A Christmas
Speaker 1: sketch that started Bowen Yang my root off, Kristen wigg
Speaker 1: and Kate McKinnon. Okay, like I mean, let me just
Speaker 1: pump my chest off for a second. His ensemble tok aside,
Speaker 1: which I do believe and do agree with the truth,
Speaker 1: there's still there, still was a little bit of a
Speaker 1: quartet happening in that at a Christmas sketch, And I said,
Speaker 1: my girl, and by the way, the transformative makeup, and
Speaker 1: you really do rock a mustache. I said, I need
Speaker 1: to do a project with Bowen Yang where you are
Speaker 1: a mustache top girl. I wish my follicles could reduce
Speaker 1: the mustache. It looks incredible on me. It belongs on
Speaker 1: your face the way its on you. Naturally produced this. No,
Speaker 1: I can't naturally make my own, but you know what
Speaker 1: you can naturally produce, joy girl, And I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the joy factory right now. You are the joy King.
Speaker 1: I've been so up and down. I've been so up
Speaker 1: and down. This has been the most It's been the weirdest,
Speaker 1: weirdest year.
Speaker 2: It's been a weird year. I have no expectations for
Speaker 2: the next one.
Speaker 1: I really don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but as a unit of time, as an arbitrary
Speaker 2: unit of time, I am very just in awe of like,
Speaker 2: oh God, we're at that place now, obviously all of
Speaker 2: us where we're like, oh gosh, that was this year,
Speaker 2: Like I think that's a very and look, it's tough,
Speaker 2: like bad things are happening in the world, worse things might.
Speaker 1: Come, horrors, horrors, horror, horrors all around. But at least
Speaker 1: we have at least we have each other, and at
Speaker 1: least George Santos has finally wished for you to have
Speaker 1: you got status. I can't say that I watched that
Speaker 1: and felt good about it. Okay, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: ZA interview with George Santos, because it is culture. When
Speaker 1: I heard that she was going to do it, like,
Speaker 1: I had a group chat going and a lot of
Speaker 1: people were like, oh, we really wish she would do this.
Speaker 1: Why are you platforming him? Like I don't want to
Speaker 1: see him, et cetera. And I was like, look, she's
Speaker 1: got one fucking job, Zeeways. One job is to be
Speaker 1: a comedian, and what that should mean is fucking dragging
Speaker 1: people like this into the clown square and saying tomato
Speaker 1: to me, Tomato, tomato and pointing at the fool. And
Speaker 1: I think she did that. I think she did too. Look,
Speaker 1: I mean like it was entertaining. Do I think it's
Speaker 1: a shame that you cannot humiliate him, like you cannot
Speaker 1: actually expose ignorance in him, which is when I think
Speaker 1: ze Way's song is song Zeeway's song. I mean, she
Speaker 1: is a pops But it's when when I think zee
Speaker 1: Way's show is most successful and effective is when it
Speaker 1: feels like someone because of their own ego, who couldn't
Speaker 1: help but grab the spotlight. Something about their ignorance is
Speaker 1: exposed about them, about like their blind spot or something
Speaker 1: evil about them or something that's like, you know, incredibly
Speaker 1: ignorant that they think. And I feel like you can't
Speaker 1: do that with him, like I do kind of think
Speaker 1: like when she asked, like what can we do to
Speaker 1: make you go away? And he said stop inviting me places,
Speaker 1: but you can't. I was kind of like, I mean
Speaker 1: he's got her there, Like what at that point?
Speaker 2: I think like she is operating outside of a traditional
Speaker 2: sort of like she's putting this on like zon n
Speaker 2: and her YouTube channel, like she is no.
Speaker 1: Laws doing drag journalist drag.
Speaker 2: No, She's doing journalist dragon Like look like Showtime was
Speaker 2: flop enough to cancel her show. I'm sorry to call
Speaker 2: Showtime a flop, but you know in this case, in
Speaker 2: another cases you could say that I'm sure like the
Speaker 2: people at Viacom will survive with me calling them this.
Speaker 1: But it's fine.
Speaker 2: I think she still succeeded in what she does best,
Speaker 2: which is whether or not he feels humiliation. It's still
Speaker 2: some kind of like Ember's new Clothes thing, where like
Speaker 2: she can make you look foolish and like even the
Speaker 2: whole like the whole Marsha P. Johnson James Balden thing,
Speaker 2: not knowing who those people are, like that's of course
Speaker 2: he doesn't know who they are. Of course he doesn't
Speaker 2: know who they are. But it's like the rest of
Speaker 2: it is also just like us understanding on a slightly
Speaker 2: deeper level that he is like just kind of ridiculous person.
Speaker 2: And then I like, in the beginning, like I think
Speaker 2: she did the responsible thing in the beginning by being like,
Speaker 2: no congressmen were paid in the making of this video,
Speaker 2: even though Georgie Santos asked three times, three times, that
Speaker 2: is ze way, that's the way, that's the way, and
Speaker 2: that's and I think that is successfully embarrassing George even
Speaker 2: though we don't see him feel it, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean maybe in that totality of it, it's
Speaker 1: like a little embarrassing. I don't think it is, though,
Speaker 1: And that's the thing is, it's just like, look, like
Speaker 1: I said, it's her job to point to the world
Speaker 1: and be like, this is fucked up. This is like
Speaker 1: that's that's a comedians. That should be our job, and
Speaker 1: like pointing out something about like our society that's like, hey,
Speaker 1: look over here, like this is unusual or suspect for
Speaker 1: some reason. And obviously, like we all already knew that
Speaker 1: about him. So that's where I guess it falls a
Speaker 1: little short. There's nothing to be revealed. But I did
Speaker 1: have fun watching it. Do I think it's good for
Speaker 1: the world that we have him on tape doing the
Speaker 1: Nicki monster verse. I don't really know, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, But I fucking think that she is a
Speaker 1: fucking original. She's the only one that could have died
Speaker 1: weird had she not said, like George Standels, you'd be
Speaker 1: an iconic guest and then he said, okay, let's do it.
Speaker 1: So no, of course, yeah exactly. And I think she
Speaker 1: also looked fucking sensationally. She looked amazing, And I do think,
Speaker 1: like I get that it's polarizing, and some people are like,
Speaker 1: how could you do this? And other people were like
Speaker 1: slay mama, And I think it's absolutely firmly somewhere in
Speaker 1: the middle where it's just like, no, I don't think
Speaker 1: there's anything particularly grand slam about this, but like it
Speaker 1: was entertaining, it was you know whatever that means. But
Speaker 1: also like the fact that he's platformed is not her problem,
Speaker 1: it's our problem. We platform people like this all the time,
Speaker 1: end mess. He's not even close to being the worst
Speaker 1: person in government, Like think about like everyone, I mean,
Speaker 1: like we platform these people. This is the hell that
Speaker 1: we live in. We are dancing in hell right now. Yes,
Speaker 1: And it's like the fact that she had him on
Speaker 1: her show, that's just like the reality of our world.
Speaker 1: Be mad at that, right right right.
Speaker 2: The thing that set it into motion was him getting elected,
Speaker 2: even though it was reported on later that he was
Speaker 2: this grifter. I mean, any feeling of ooh, this isn't
Speaker 2: the best is solely his fault and it doesn't reflect
Speaker 2: on ze way at all.
Speaker 1: It reflects on us as a society, Like this is
Speaker 1: what the world is on fire and we refuse to
Speaker 1: put it out and until we put it out. This
Speaker 1: is just what it is. Like, this is the famous
Speaker 1: political figure right now. It's not ze Way's fault, it's
Speaker 1: not entertainment's fault. It's the fucking reality of the world.
Speaker 1: This person was elected to Congress and we're living in
Speaker 1: a post Trump world. Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's this isn't a new thing like platforming criminals who
Speaker 1: are also in government. This goes back people like I understand,
Speaker 1: Like you know, you might think that like the way
Speaker 1: we put out that fire is for z Way to
Speaker 1: not platform this person, but this person has been legitimized
Speaker 1: by the fucking populace. Yeah, it just is what it is.
Speaker 1: He's not just gonna go away. He was elected to Congress.
Speaker 1: Fix that. Yeah, do something about that if you're upset,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Congress, I am so curious about the way
Speaker 2: the congressional twang slash top. The gay sex situation is
Speaker 2: kind of still feeling like a niche story at this point.
Speaker 2: It's like not really getting a lot of pick up
Speaker 2: outside of like gay Twitter, gay social media. I'm not
Speaker 2: seeing it covered.
Speaker 1: Am I crazy? I can't tell anymore? You know? That's
Speaker 1: what's weird about like the way that I'm getting information lately.
Speaker 1: I can't tell if this is a big story or
Speaker 1: if this is a gay thing. I really can't. I
Speaker 1: was with Jared and our friend Steven Sombari on Saturday.
Speaker 2: They came to the show and like, so Saturday morning
Speaker 2: we all wake up to like the video and Okay,
Speaker 2: see Hans doesn't even know what we're talking about. Really, wow,
Speaker 2: this is so interesting. Okay, So basically I'm gonna do
Speaker 2: a terrible job of something this uff. But there was
Speaker 2: a video that leaked from a close friends story of
Speaker 2: someone in DC. The person filming it was someone some
Speaker 2: like German lobbyist or something I guess, like someone who
Speaker 2: basically had anal sex with a congressional aid of someone
Speaker 2: from Maryland. I'm not sure his name, but a Democrat
Speaker 2: from Maryland. They filmed themselves having anal sex in the
Speaker 2: congressional hearing room, just railing and the dick was huge.
Speaker 1: The tops dick was absolutely huge. Could you did you
Speaker 1: see it? Because I saw it. I did.
Speaker 2: That's an important that's an important detail.
Speaker 1: The story absolutely like it's not even like there was
Speaker 1: anal gay anal sex happening in the congressional room or
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck it was. It was there was Olympic
Speaker 1: level bottoming happening where Amy klobushar sits, like where Amy
Speaker 1: klob sits. This twink was taking a huge cock and
Speaker 1: then posted it on close friends, where you can't trust anyone.
Speaker 1: Are you crazy? You think you can trust gay people?
Speaker 1: Oh my god?
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, we thought we could trust gay
Speaker 2: people on close friends.
Speaker 1: No, and bo and I will say sometimes there are
Speaker 1: certain people on Instagram who post things on close friends
Speaker 1: and I'm like, are you insane? How can you ever
Speaker 1: think you can trust gay people? You're close friends. I
Speaker 1: guarantee if you're a gay person, you have a list
Speaker 1: of close friends. It's this. It's a few of your
Speaker 1: actual close friends, including one girl, which god bless every
Speaker 1: straight woman on a gay man's close friends, they don't
Speaker 1: understand everyone you've ever seen that you've ever wanted to fuck,
Speaker 1: And then a couple celebrities maybe just in case. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what everyone's close friends is, gay close friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: gay close friends. You think you can trust these gay guys?
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Honey. You can't trust these gay guys.
Speaker 1: It's rule of culture number eight.
Speaker 2: You can't trust these gay guys. So in this close friends,
Speaker 2: it's the top taking a picture of this twink's hole
Speaker 2: with this writing in this very room. Sonya Sodamayora had
Speaker 2: her confirmation hearing James Comy testified on Russian interference in
Speaker 2: the twenty sixteen elections. Aiden got some thick German sausage
Speaker 2: and a yea hicker sauce finish period. So that is
Speaker 2: what happened. I think it is too shocking for mainstream media.
Speaker 2: That's what me and Jared were talking about, Like, it's like,
Speaker 2: how do you even even begin because of course I'm
Speaker 2: getting tagged on Saturday, like Bow and Yang? Are you
Speaker 2: prepared to play like the Congressional twin?
Speaker 1: Oh my. I wanted to be like, how do you
Speaker 1: think we're gonna tell us to cover this one?
Speaker 2: I'm so curious. I honestly am open to pitches. This
Speaker 2: is the only time in my career that I've ever
Speaker 2: been open to SNL sketch pitches every other moment of
Speaker 2: my life after this week moratorium period, for the rest
Speaker 2: of my life, I think it.
Speaker 1: Should be a meta sketch. You guys are in the
Speaker 1: writer's room literally discussing how exactly. You get this across. Fine,
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's a meta sketch where you
Speaker 1: and and one of the big one of the biggest
Speaker 1: things is they keep looking at you to explain that's
Speaker 1: really funny.
Speaker 2: Before we keep going, I just want to say, on
Speaker 2: behalf of everyone who works at SNL, we should not
Speaker 2: listen to your joke pitches because it becomes a huge
Speaker 2: legal issue if your idea, by some off chance, is
Speaker 2: something that we end up using.
Speaker 1: Okay, so forget, I said that. Forget, just forgot to
Speaker 1: say I forget, So please rescin that iver attracted my statements.
Speaker 1: I retract my pitches. But okay, but isn't this so interesting?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: Like I think, not a lot of people off the internet,
Speaker 1: like our parents, I think, are never going to hear
Speaker 1: about this. You know what I'm gonna do? Actually, literally
Speaker 1: right now, I'm going to text my mother and see
Speaker 1: if she knows what this is. Promise you she won't,
Speaker 1: I promise you. So how do I even say this? Okay, Mom?
Speaker 1: Do you? I'm gonna text them both actually because my
Speaker 1: dad does watch a lot of news, so he will
Speaker 1: tell me. I'm saying, guys, what do you know about
Speaker 1: the gay guy having sex. I can't call him senate
Speaker 1: as you set up bottom or set at top the
Speaker 1: congress twink? Do you know about the congress twink? Ask
Speaker 1: them about ask them that I'm saying, do you guys
Speaker 1: know about the Congressional aid. I'm going to be proper
Speaker 1: and just because so they can fill it in, because
Speaker 1: if I say that, then it's gonna be like, guys,
Speaker 1: what do you know about the Congressional aid having sex
Speaker 1: in the congressional hearing room? Hey guys, this is Matt
Speaker 1: from the Future. I just wanted to update you on
Speaker 1: how my parents did eventually respond, because it wasn't until
Speaker 1: after we recorded the episode. My mother did not know,
Speaker 1: and my father said they hadn't been watching television that day.
Speaker 1: I said, no, this is days old, and I explained
Speaker 1: to them what happened. My mother emphasized the text and
Speaker 1: said the word geez okay, that's all Hans is saying.
Speaker 2: I typed in NY Times gay Sex Congress and the
Speaker 2: first hit is seven links down and it's from Politico.
Speaker 2: Like I think there is some seo witchcraft and wizardry
Speaker 2: along with the media. Not to get too tinfoil hat,
Speaker 2: but it's like Senate staffer who film public sex and
Speaker 2: Congress leaves Ben Cardon, Yeah, Ben Cardon, But this is
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like there's this like concerted thing where
Speaker 2: I think people are like this is too crazy, Ikey,
Speaker 2: it's ikey, Like I don't think we should beam this
Speaker 2: into the TVs of every household in America.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe, I guess. Okay, So now I'm kind
Speaker 1: of like flipping around to is it even important? Is
Speaker 1: it even important that some gay guys are having sex
Speaker 1: not in the Senate hearing room? Like for me, it's
Speaker 1: just like, I don't know, our government is kind of
Speaker 1: fun to a war where thousands of innocent people are dying,
Speaker 1: and that to me is just like where the continued
Speaker 1: energy should be. And for me, it's just like the
Speaker 1: fact that these gay guys had sex in the room.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, at least they're not Congress people.
Speaker 1: At least it's not like someone doing it in public
Speaker 1: like Lauren Bobert, you know what I mean. Like, to me,
Speaker 1: that's a story because she's like disrupting the piece and
Speaker 1: supposed to be like, you know, a figure of respect.
Speaker 1: These gay guys boned in the Senate hearing room. I
Speaker 1: would love it if it could be publicized on the
Speaker 1: news because I think we should play those gays in
Speaker 1: the feature film on HBO, Like I think they should
Speaker 1: really discard the George Santos movie. There's a much more
Speaker 1: interesting and fun.
Speaker 2: It is very interesting because you want the lead up
Speaker 2: to that moment. You want to know, like how they
Speaker 2: plan that it's.
Speaker 1: A heist movie. That's our sex scene together. Yeah, honestly,
Speaker 1: like if the ever is gonna be one, the sex
Speaker 1: scene that you and I do together is me. I
Speaker 1: think I play the top, the German top, and you
Speaker 1: play Congress bottom and I rail you in the Senate
Speaker 1: hearing room, and that is I think the only sex
Speaker 1: scene that we should ever do.
Speaker 2: And the movie is called Yager Sauce Finish.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that you're absolutely right that this should be
Speaker 2: the movie instead of the George Santos pick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think we win Emmys. We tie for Emmys, right,
Speaker 1: Like it's like Fellow Travelers but us and the sex
Speaker 1: is more graphic and happens once. It's an absolute railing
Speaker 1: in the Setate hearing room and actually no one even
Speaker 1: remembers the names. Matt Boehmer and Jonathan Bailey anymore because
Speaker 1: of this, because of this film.
Speaker 2: Well, I just want to say, like, maybe this whole
Speaker 2: thing is not important because at this point, I think
Speaker 2: everyone understands that, like institutionally, like maybe that means nothing anymore.
Speaker 2: Like it doesn't really mean anything to have sex in
Speaker 2: the halls of Congress because it's like, well, Congress is
Speaker 2: sort of whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, George Santos was prancing about in there,
Speaker 1: and Marjorie Taylor Green is still there, so like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's have gay sex in it. Go off.
Speaker 2: I just want to challenge you on the Lauren Robert
Speaker 2: thing because I don't think it's shocking that Lauren Bobert
Speaker 2: was being like frisky and hands you heard jugs felt her,
Speaker 2: jugs felt off your chest.
Speaker 1: I think anyone having.
Speaker 2: Their drugs felt up would be like, we're treating them
Speaker 2: the same way between anybody having their drugs felt up.
Speaker 2: It just so happens at Sheesus Congressional figure. But yeah,
Speaker 2: what is sacred is like theater and so mm hmmm,
Speaker 2: frozen is.
Speaker 1: Is beetlejuice. I wish it was frozen. I wish it's
Speaker 1: so funny if it was frozen. I mean it's per
Speaker 1: and Mom is getting her fucking areola twitch twitch. She's saying, oh,
Speaker 1: that's a really good low and Bobert, Oh makes my
Speaker 1: nipple feel so good when you touch it, Daddy, Like,
Speaker 1: I think that touch it during the big song, touch
Speaker 1: my nipples during the big song, and I think that
Speaker 1: it was It's the fact that it was being done
Speaker 1: at a beautiful show. That's why people, Yeah, a beautiful show.
Speaker 1: I guess here's the thing, Like, should we take it
Speaker 1: as a personal insult as a community that they don't
Speaker 1: want to report on our love? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: That's the way we make love sometimes. The way that
Speaker 1: we make love is we take a huge penis publicly.
Speaker 1: That's our love making. Like, yeah, you don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about it in the news. That sucks you, guys.
Speaker 1: That's the source of homophobia exactly. This is painted in
Speaker 1: the sun and airing room like like all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it was like messy gay sex all over Klobushar's seat. Well,
Speaker 1: this is like an aspect of queer theory. I might
Speaker 1: get some flock for this, but I feel like, oh,
Speaker 1: here we go, we get into queer theory.
Speaker 2: Sodomy is that the butt sex is the reason why,
Speaker 2: like gay men are less accepted in society than lesbian women.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it's not. No, I've always felt
Speaker 1: that and look, this is problematic, but I have always
Speaker 1: felt straight guys being like oh yeah lesbians haha great.
Speaker 1: It's because like that attraction to women is still seen
Speaker 1: through the straight male gage when as the second you
Speaker 1: start talking about like gay guys and the way that
Speaker 1: they fuck, and of course they walk around with a
Speaker 1: ton of privilege, like white gay men in this society
Speaker 1: walk around with the privilege. But when it comes to
Speaker 1: gay sex, that is what kicks it over into like
Speaker 1: it's homophobic. Incense for straight men to kill us is
Speaker 1: because they think that's disgusting and it shames them. And
Speaker 1: that's when it gets weird. And that's why it would
Speaker 1: never be reported on in this end mass way is
Speaker 1: because butt sex is poop is gross, and they don't
Speaker 1: think of it like all sex is gross, which it
Speaker 1: kind of is. It just appeals to our base instincts.
Speaker 1: They think about it like poop is gross, butt sex
Speaker 1: is gross. Gay men are gross. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about it, so it cast gay men aside. Now
Speaker 1: I have the instinct to go out and like murder them.
Speaker 1: That's what I think, lesbians thing. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think if you can't at least understand what you're saying,
Speaker 1: then like you're being obtuse, you're being glibbed, Like you're
Speaker 1: not saying that like we are more accepted in society,
Speaker 1: like or we have it worse. You're saying, like there
Speaker 1: is a thing about gay sex, And I think this
Speaker 1: is true, there is a thing about gay sex that
Speaker 1: it is identified with being disgusting and therefore, like it
Speaker 1: puts us at the bottom of like a certain arena,
Speaker 1: Like it puts us to the bottom of respect in
Speaker 1: that regard, Like it's butt sex, it's gross, it's poop. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: people think that. People think, and that's probably why you
Speaker 1: don't see like the way you'd see like Lauren Bobert
Speaker 1: engaging in sexual activity in the crowd at Beetlejuice. You
Speaker 1: do see that, Like on the major news, You're not
Speaker 1: gonna see grainy footage of this twink's ass in the
Speaker 1: air getting it in the butt on ABCNBC, box, CBS.
Speaker 1: You're just not CNN is not reporting on that. Anderson
Speaker 1: Cooper is not saying, next up, twink gets read right poop.
Speaker 2: And we're not saying this for replaceive at least, I
Speaker 2: don't think we're saying this replaceive internalized homophobia. I think
Speaker 2: it is just like so shocking. It's so shocking for
Speaker 2: a general news consuming public.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's just like it's not that I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: gay people shouldn't be seen. It's just that like this
Speaker 2: like the angle, the angle, and the images out of
Speaker 2: that situation are like gay Twitter is going insane because
Speaker 2: we're like, oh my.
Speaker 1: God, yeah, it's so crazy. But that's the world. I
Speaker 1: guess that's the thing is. It's just I was thinking
Speaker 1: about because I think Joel made the comparison to the
Speaker 1: Lewinsky scandal. He was like, you know, people be fucking
Speaker 1: in places they shouldn't have been in DC for a
Speaker 1: very long time. This is not like a gay thing.
Speaker 2: They're not the first, they're not the last people to
Speaker 2: fuck in that room.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. No, certainly not, especially if we keep putting
Speaker 1: the biggest clowns in America in Congress, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like, and also not that it's clownery to
Speaker 1: have sex wherever, like at this point, I'm very burned
Speaker 1: down about the whole thing or who cares about the
Speaker 1: whole thing. And that's why I'm like, whenever anyone's like,
Speaker 1: how dare z weigh? It's like the reason why we
Speaker 1: feel I think, how dares z weigh? Or the reason
Speaker 1: why we have like this, you know, animosity towards each
Speaker 1: other on Twitter over this stupid shit is because we
Speaker 1: are so politically hopeless right now, like there's a nothing
Speaker 1: we can do. All we can do is spin our
Speaker 1: wheels online and say I'm really personally hurt that you
Speaker 1: don't like Tate McCrae. There's shit like that. Stand wars
Speaker 1: are able to go so hard because it's not like
Speaker 1: whenever we make noise about anything bigger or a bigger deal,
Speaker 1: like anything happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can scale your your outrage down to, like,
Speaker 2: how dare you not like Tate McCrae, even though we
Speaker 2: all know that that is a frivolous thing to care
Speaker 2: about exactly.
Speaker 1: It's like I think that sometimes, and something I've noticed
Speaker 1: over the past few years it feels like everyone's personal taste,
Speaker 1: like for example, with art, like on a grander scale. Rather,
Speaker 1: it's like if I say I didn't like something, or
Speaker 1: I have something to say about some piece of art
Speaker 1: or some you know, whatever artists, television show, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Despite the fact that, like, you know, there should be
Speaker 1: places to like, critique art, discuss things, whatever, it all
Speaker 1: becomes very personal and it's an identity we said this
Speaker 1: or where I read this. Yes, people associate identity with
Speaker 1: the things they like, and that's stand um and that's
Speaker 1: like stand culture, and that funnels into online which gets
Speaker 1: very ugly, et cetera. And someone said that that tends
Speaker 1: to happen during times when there is political lack of
Speaker 1: agency politically, like a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness politically,
Speaker 1: it tends to correlate to very intense discussion and discourse
Speaker 1: about things that are more artistic in nature or commercial
Speaker 1: in nature, because there's this feeling of, well, we can't
Speaker 1: actually have actionable change, but I can go online and like,
Speaker 1: say this thing about something I like, and say this
Speaker 1: negative thing about something you like, and I can contribute
Speaker 1: to discourse in this way, and it tends to be
Speaker 1: more intense when there's political hopelessness. That's just something I
Speaker 1: tend to agree with and I feel like is happening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, I feel like that sounds like a Guy
Speaker 1: Brandon quote. I mean maybe maybe he's the one that
Speaker 1: said it. Just assume anything. If you even thought that
Speaker 1: was an intelligent thing to say, just think it was Guy.
Speaker 1: It was it was Guy. It was Guy. Well, let's
Speaker 1: see what I mean. I actually speaking of Tate McCrae.
Speaker 1: I did listen to her album. I do think it
Speaker 1: all sounds the same. I appreciate that she's bringing back
Speaker 1: the dance break. I love to see the dance break
Speaker 1: come back to culture, but I don't know, I would
Speaker 1: love to see some of this energy online like behind
Speaker 1: someone like Chapel Roone. That's just what I would say, right.
Speaker 1: But I do like Tate McCray She dances. I like
Speaker 1: the album. I like Stay Done. She's an album called
Speaker 1: Stay Done.
Speaker 2: It's like the whole album itself is like I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people are like surprised at the sort
Speaker 2: of overall tone of it, which is not quite as
Speaker 2: dance poppy as maybe like the lead singles might have
Speaker 2: suggested that it is more like viby.
Speaker 1: Persivy, you know whatever. Yeah, everything has that sound of
Speaker 1: like taking place underwater. A little bit like it's that
Speaker 1: like production thing where it's just like ooh yeah, oh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2: I just want to say lol at me being like
Speaker 2: the first person to ever think that Billie Eilish is
Speaker 2: amazing and iconic.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she was unreal being in that room.
Speaker 2: I watched what was I made for both times once
Speaker 2: address and on air, just like watching or sing that
Speaker 2: song which will probably win her another Oscar.
Speaker 1: It's just like.
Speaker 2: Rightfully, there's no doubt, like no doubt rightfully, completely rightfully,
Speaker 2: but just watching her and she it was her idea
Speaker 2: to like have the cast in my Kristen and Kate,
Speaker 2: like send in footage of them, you know, from them
Speaker 2: when they were kids, and just so beautiful and her
Speaker 2: voice in that room, like just to hear her voice
Speaker 2: live is really sublime and really heavenly and.
Speaker 1: Like, God, she like invented this shit she invented she didn't.
Speaker 2: I mean, like I think she like innovated on this
Speaker 2: thing that I think all the girls are doing now,
Speaker 2: and I feel like mileage varies depending on who tries
Speaker 2: to replicate it. Yeah, and I'm sure it's not their own.
Speaker 2: I'm sure like the label puts pressure on them to
Speaker 2: like do a Billie Eilish song.
Speaker 1: But like that just speaks to like.
Speaker 2: Her influence and her sort of vision as an artist
Speaker 2: to like stick to this thing that like was never
Speaker 2: a guaranteed success until it was, Like she is so
Speaker 2: And I finally listened to Happier than Ever all the
Speaker 2: way through for the first time in a long time,
Speaker 2: Like I think like when it came out of the album,
Speaker 2: the album was just listening to like spots here and there.
Speaker 2: But like god, that is a true artwork, along with
Speaker 2: like when we all fall asleepert a week, Like just
Speaker 2: her albums are so she is, Like thank god she
Speaker 2: is an album artist, because that's the thing that like
Speaker 2: could have died along with like so many other things
Speaker 2: in the music industry, Like album artists are still here
Speaker 2: to stay, Like I don't think that is a bygone format.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, first of all, just to speak on a
Speaker 1: song from Happier than Ever, I am an oxytocin stan Oh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I absolutely love that song. Happier than Ever obviously is
Speaker 1: like one of the great amazing and I just yeah,
Speaker 1: and also like I appreciate more and more her aesthetic
Speaker 1: of that album, Like that's sort of like just we
Speaker 1: talked about it at the time, but her like sour
Speaker 1: Puss on the in those glamour looks with that blonde hair,
Speaker 1: and like, you know, I just I think that she's
Speaker 1: fucking incredible and that performance was amazing. That song is
Speaker 1: so fucking great. It is a perfect movie song, and
Speaker 1: it also makes that movie even better, Like it takes
Speaker 1: the Barbie movie to another level. It is an absolute
Speaker 1: slam dunk for an oscar. I think, like you know,
Speaker 1: time where like I guess this is a good year
Speaker 1: for the songs. Not really though, I mean it really
Speaker 1: just was that Barbie song that like really popped off.
Speaker 1: And then again we talked about that song from Wish
Speaker 1: like kind of not being anything.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think so, honey, it's winning in a walk.
Speaker 2: I don't think so, honey. Out Alpha the Alpha, not
Speaker 2: making it into the conversation for these damn awards that
Speaker 2: still don't know what's good for them.
Speaker 1: They don't know what's good for them.
Speaker 2: Out Alpha the Alpha, Megan thee Stallion. I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: that is a show stopper.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it deserves to be in the conversation, I'll say it.
Speaker 1: But you know, those precursors are coming in and we're
Speaker 1: not seeing many. Have you seen any movies? Have you
Speaker 1: watched any screeners that have come through?
Speaker 2: This is finally my week to like really catch up,
Speaker 2: so I don't have to dive in me too sort
Speaker 2: of yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me neither. We will get into it at some
Speaker 1: point people in the new year. But while it's still
Speaker 1: this year, what do you say we get into some
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. Yes, I have one that
Speaker 1: I hope people understand. Are you saying you want to
Speaker 1: go first? No?
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm just I'm just prefacing my But do
Speaker 2: you want to go first?
Speaker 1: You hope people understand that? Okay. I think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make this very easy for people to understand. I think
Speaker 1: people are gonna agree with me.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is Matt Rogers's I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 2: and his time starts now.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. The Agatha Show changing its
Speaker 1: name literally every week. So Agatha Show, which is the
Speaker 1: spinoff of Wanda Vision, was originally going to be called
Speaker 1: I think Agatha. It was at one point Agatha Coven
Speaker 1: of Chaos. It was Agatha Dark Cold Diaries. It was
Speaker 1: originally something else, like I'm forgetting what it was, but
Speaker 1: now it's Agatha all along. And literally every time they
Speaker 1: announced the show, it's a different title. You guys, I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey. Just call this Agatha Colin. Do
Speaker 1: you like this? Remember Agatha Colon, Catherine Hahn, Agatha Colin
Speaker 1: from WandaVision, Agatha call like this like alliteration, perade. What's happening?
Speaker 1: Just name it something and move the fuck on. I
Speaker 1: don't have tek any this thing of the show constantly
Speaker 1: having a different title. Just stop or just like stop
Speaker 1: announcing it like when it comes out, it'll come out.
Speaker 1: Do press for it the week five seconds, please God, Disney,
Speaker 1: get it together for once in your life. You are
Speaker 1: losing to Universal. And that's one minute. Ooh you heard
Speaker 1: it here first, and you're the authority on this, well,
Speaker 1: you know this is breaking news. Universal has bought over
Speaker 1: five hundred acres of land in Great Britain and they've
Speaker 1: trademarked the names Universal Studios Great Britain and Universal Great
Speaker 1: Britain because there was a rumor that Universal once Epic
Speaker 1: Universe is finished in Orlando. And yes, this is the
Speaker 1: place I go for my happy place when I am
Speaker 1: off on the road. I go do at Bio Reconstruct
Speaker 1: and I look at construction videos of the Epic Universe
Speaker 1: project in Orlando, and it is going to be unbelievable.
Speaker 1: The paint is on the buildings, a lot of everything
Speaker 1: is like testing, the rider testing. I'm telling you, if
Speaker 1: you're like me and have this like disorder where you
Speaker 1: are into theme parks construction, I don't know where my
Speaker 1: tribes and my community is. But this is love you engineering, honey.
Speaker 1: This is beautiful. I love it. It's what I've wanted
Speaker 1: to do since I was a little kid, and I
Speaker 1: just love watching everything go up in the landscaping and
Speaker 1: the architecture, and like, as you guys know, I'm a
Speaker 1: theme park person. So I've been really really watching this.
Speaker 1: And Universal is about to eat Disney Alive in Orlando.
Speaker 1: They really are, they really are. And now they're gonna
Speaker 1: have a huge, probably massive theme park complex in Great
Speaker 1: Britain in Bedford, which is about forty five minutes outside
Speaker 1: of London, and that is gonna be where they expand next.
Speaker 1: And it's gonna have all original rides. They're not gonna
Speaker 1: carbon copy anything from another park because they want it
Speaker 1: to be a destination in its own right, and they
Speaker 1: don't want to cannibalize the Orlando market amazing. So this
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, there's a lot going on in the
Speaker 1: theme park wars have only just begun. It's really the
Speaker 1: only air where these companies can for sure thing make money.
Speaker 1: So they're gonna be going in. I mean, Disney has
Speaker 1: said twenty billion is going into the theme parks over
Speaker 1: the next ten years, which is insane, like it's about
Speaker 1: to pop off. But going back to my original point,
Speaker 1: just to name it fucking Agatha, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Agatha Colan.
Speaker 1: You like this, Remember, I think Agatha Colan Catherine Hahn
Speaker 1: is actually the best title for it. People are gonna
Speaker 1: be seated.
Speaker 2: It's fine, just make it clear, make it easy, I mean,
Speaker 2: or just go Patty laponees in this.
Speaker 1: Right. It's just I forget what it was originally first called.
Speaker 2: Agatha Coven of Chaos. It was called Agatha Harkness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was I think it was originally called
Speaker 1: something it was a Coven of Chaos was definitely a thing,
Speaker 1: and then there was Dark Cold Diaries. Now it's Agatha
Speaker 1: all along, and I think it started out as something else,
Speaker 1: which makes it. The funniest version is that they're not
Speaker 1: even on the third one of this threw on the fourth.
Speaker 2: It's like, that's really while talking. I mean they're scrambling.
Speaker 2: They don't know what they're doing. I think like the
Speaker 2: Marvel's not being Mama's Sleigh was like the nail in
Speaker 2: the coffin.
Speaker 1: I'm on the Wikipedia. Okay, okay, yes, it was called
Speaker 1: Agatha House of Harkness. Then it was called Agatha Coven
Speaker 1: of Chaos, and then it was called Agatha Dark Cold Diaries,
Speaker 1: and now it's Agatha all along. So they're just going
Speaker 1: down the fucking alphabet picking things and I think it's
Speaker 1: so funny. But it has to stop. I'm telling you, like,
Speaker 1: just stop. It is embarrassing. It looks so so humiliating,
Speaker 1: just like thinking about like execs anywhere being like, hmm,
Speaker 1: should we announce another name?
Speaker 2: Like no, can I ask why the separate trademarks for
Speaker 2: Universal Studios Great Britain and Universal Grip just to like
Speaker 2: buy domain It's like when people buy domain names, And what.
Speaker 1: I would guess is that Universe Great Britain would be
Speaker 1: the name of the overall complex and Universal Studios Great
Speaker 1: Britain would be the name of the park. And why
Speaker 1: you'd have a different name of the park and of
Speaker 1: the complex is because if you wanted to add a
Speaker 1: second park, you then would name it something else. Yeah. Probably,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if these trademarks have already
Speaker 1: been filed, but probably you'd see like, you know, some
Speaker 1: sort of Universal Great Britain city walk type thing. You'll
Speaker 1: soon start seeing trademarks for different hotels. That was how
Speaker 1: everyone knew the Universal Epic Universe project was happening. Is
Speaker 1: because you can pretty much figure out what they're planning
Speaker 1: to do by two things, name trademarks and land acquisition.
Speaker 1: So there was a massive land acquisition in Orlando, billions
Speaker 1: of dollars in Orlando and then also now in Great Britain,
Speaker 1: and it amounts to about five hundred and sixty acres.
Speaker 1: So when you have that and also a TRADEMARKT file
Speaker 1: for Great Britain, it pretty much leads to one thing. Well,
Speaker 1: this is the thing.
Speaker 2: Like people in the UK are very much like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: like we went all the way to Florida because the
Speaker 2: kids wanted to go to Disney World and Universal yep,
Speaker 2: flying overseas for that stuff. It's like because Disneyland Paris
Speaker 2: is not all the way there. I think it's kind
Speaker 2: of it's plateau.
Speaker 1: It's very different. Yeah, it's very different from other Disney
Speaker 1: parks because in Universal Paris the culture is just very different.
Speaker 1: They're like, for example, you can drink wine in the
Speaker 1: Magic Kingdom. They're like, they're not really a theme park
Speaker 1: driven culture. And if you're going to Paris, like, I
Speaker 1: don't know that you're necessarily thinking and Disney World of course,
Speaker 1: like it's probably not the number one thing you're doing.
Speaker 1: Whereas Universal Great Britain, I think you're right, doesn't have
Speaker 1: a lot of competition, and if it does, it's out.
Speaker 1: And the thing that Universal has is the Harry Potter ip,
Speaker 1: which if you go to London is everywhere.
Speaker 2: But I also think Brits are secretly a theme park culture,
Speaker 2: like Britain is a theme park culture all of the
Speaker 2: you can well yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean I think it's kind of a slam dunk. I
Speaker 1: just think because of the ip they have, because another
Speaker 1: ip that Universal I don't know if this is a
Speaker 1: fit show that they own it, but it's probably a
Speaker 1: thing is they probably have the Lord of the Rings ip.
Speaker 1: There's been rumors for a very long time that Universal
Speaker 1: was going to be the one to break open the
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings IP into a full theme park situation,
Speaker 1: which I think is a slam dunk if it happens.
Speaker 1: And another thing I heard is that they were finally
Speaker 1: going to try to do theme park rights for Double
Speaker 1: O seven as well as Paddington. Oh, Paddington. They are
Speaker 1: not Universal properties, but those are acquisitions they could ye
Speaker 1: to add on to their IP already, which includes stuff
Speaker 1: that's like pretty international like Jurassic Park of course Nintendo. Now,
Speaker 1: I mean like they have the right IP, they just
Speaker 1: have to flesh it out so it doesn't repeat all
Speaker 1: over the world. Yes, yes, yes, of course. Wow, this
Speaker 1: is very educational and that's my theme park report. Thank you?
Speaker 1: Are you ready to I don't think so, honey, my darling, Yes, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: that's good. And remember he hopes that you guys understand
Speaker 1: this one. This is Bow and Yang's I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 2: As time starts now, I don't think so, honey. People
Speaker 2: gagging standing this whole clearfoy. I don't do blue thing
Speaker 2: like I don't understand what's cool about that or what's
Speaker 2: like aspirational or admirable. I feel like whatever reason this
Speaker 2: person has to not sign an autograph with the blue
Speaker 2: sharpie is probably a stupid one, probably one that doesn't
Speaker 2: make much sense. And if she explained it to you'd
Speaker 2: be like, well, that's weird. Like if I were to
Speaker 2: say I don't sign with a blue marker, that would
Speaker 2: mean I was a weird person, that I was a
Speaker 2: very weird person. And if that's who Clearfoy is, then
Speaker 2: that's wonderful. But I feel like it's I don't think
Speaker 2: it's like a cool thing to be like, this is
Speaker 2: a boundary I have no oh blue, I feel like
Speaker 2: that is. And I love I love any kind of
Speaker 2: deva behavior. I think this is something outside of that.
Speaker 2: I think this is just a weird idiosyncrasy that I
Speaker 2: will never understand.
Speaker 1: And that's one minute what I was told. Because I
Speaker 1: had the same reaction as you. Well, let's just say
Speaker 1: in terms of the reaction, that's just like I think
Speaker 1: gay Twitter being like, oh this woman did something unusual.
Speaker 1: Stand stand, stand, standstand, And that is how simpleistic it is.
Speaker 1: Not everything deserves that right. It's literally just like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, something happened stamp right, That's that's literally something
Speaker 1: happened with a woman mother, you know, like it's that's
Speaker 1: literally all that. Yeah, so that can be reduced to that,
Speaker 1: and it is that simple. What I was told is
Speaker 1: that the reason she doesn't sign in blue is because
Speaker 1: she was advised that if you sign in blue, your
Speaker 1: signature can be copied and put on doctors. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I take it all back. So that's why she did that.
Speaker 1: And I actually was like, oh, that's actually really interesting
Speaker 1: because then she the black pen and just signed because
Speaker 1: I thought what would be weird enough reason? Is she
Speaker 1: just that weird? And because any interview I've ever seen
Speaker 1: with her, any interaction with anyone that I've seen, she
Speaker 1: seems perfectly normal. And I think it's because she is.
Speaker 1: And she was just told don't sign with blue ink
Speaker 1: because then they can use your signature to potentially steal
Speaker 1: from you. That's why, god, I got to google this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it might be a thing because as iconic
Speaker 1: as it, I guess is for her to be throwing
Speaker 1: her head over her shoulder and saying I don't do blue,
Speaker 1: like maybe that can be put over like, you know,
Speaker 1: someone absolutely bombing in a blue dress on a red
Speaker 1: carpet and then a meme after being like, I don't
Speaker 1: do blue like I'm sure you will see that from
Speaker 1: gay people on Twitter and Instagram for sure, And I
Speaker 1: think it could be fun given the application, I legit
Speaker 1: think she had a reason to do that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess this is a thing, and I must
Speaker 2: rescind that I'd let it be on the record if
Speaker 2: publications want to say that I was trapped shin clairfour,
Speaker 2: that's fine.
Speaker 1: Wow, we've learned so much even in this episode and
Speaker 1: this year, and I have to say I think that's
Speaker 1: the next year is going to be a good one
Speaker 1: for us. I'm so excited for everything we got going.
Speaker 2: Anger me too, endlessly proud of you, always smiling when
Speaker 2: my girl is slaying and the star of my life,
Speaker 2: Star of my life. I love you down, I always will,
Speaker 2: and I'll see you very soon.
Speaker 1: Yes, we're about to see each other for fun, pro
Speaker 1: festive merriment, bestive merriment. We always end every episode with
Speaker 1: the song Little Christmas because you gay gay now on
Speaker 1: what probably now way think of thoughts of us Twink
Speaker 1: getting it in the butt and the Senate hearing room
Speaker 1: as we saying here we are in all the days
Speaker 1: go shapes to shape talk you hit the prostate? Fatful? Friends,
