Speaker 1: So Honey's live for a rabid crowd. We can't wait
Speaker 1: to see you there. Dang don La culture calling. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you all. Matt Rogers, my co host, is
Speaker 1: currently straddling the back of his chair like about it,
Speaker 1: like a fucking Backstreet boy or the Spice Girls and
Speaker 1: their lives stand bullshit poring you. I'm talking about you
Speaker 1: did that because I remember I had the VA just
Speaker 1: tape of the Spice Girls concert and there's one They're
Speaker 1: naked there naked spoiler alert for those of you who
Speaker 1: haven't seen the The Spice Girls Tour vhs. But they
Speaker 1: are naked, singing naked and like the chairs, the backs
Speaker 1: of the chairs are covering their ariola. Point. Jerry, who
Speaker 1: you know is the fastest of all of them, fast,
Speaker 1: rises out of her chair a little bit and the
Speaker 1: amount of like ariola. You don't see any ariola. You
Speaker 1: see the vagine. No, you see almost ariola, okay, And
Speaker 1: I feel like that for me, even as it confused
Speaker 1: first of all to racy. Crazy thing to see as
Speaker 1: a seven year old. Racy, it's one word for it,
Speaker 1: for sure, you know. Um. That reminds me of the
Speaker 1: time when I saw the trailer from Mulan Ruthe the
Speaker 1: first time, and I turned to my mom and I said,
Speaker 1: I want to see that and she said, no, no,
Speaker 1: that looks racy, Katrina. She was right, it was a
Speaker 1: racy film. Um. But listen what I'm sitting like this
Speaker 1: because I feel it's more comfortable for me. But the
Speaker 1: jury is out on that because I've been sitting only
Speaker 1: like this for a brief wan to do you want
Speaker 1: me to like stall and fill in the time as
Speaker 1: you readjust or now, because of what you can do.
Speaker 1: You know what I trust you to do while I
Speaker 1: readdress give the gredits, okay, but I will give the credits. Guys,
Speaker 1: this is Lost Culture STA's history. This is our first
Speaker 1: return guest on a recorded episode. So Pat Regan famously
Speaker 1: is our on a weird technicality, our first return guests.
Speaker 1: But this is our first return guest with a prior
Speaker 1: recorded to make it to air, to make it to air,
Speaker 1: So guys, as Beyonce would say, this is a pivotal moment.
Speaker 1: As Beyonce would say, listening to the b the album
Speaker 1: and you listen to Resentment and then you you let
Speaker 1: Resentment play through and there's a pause all the time,
Speaker 1: and then it's a Beyonce spoken word intro to listen,
Speaker 1: and she says, I really wanted to do this next song,
Speaker 1: which I wrote for the film Droom Girls, which we
Speaker 1: know she did not fully right, that's all right anyway,
Speaker 1: and she says this song is well, it's a pivotal
Speaker 1: moment in the film. And it's just like she's reading
Speaker 1: off some cards. I mean, that's fine, that's fine. It's
Speaker 1: totally fine. I was just quoting, Okay, do your job,
Speaker 1: so here the credits, Baby, I was Matt readjusts his
Speaker 1: unsustainable posture on his chair. You, guys, this is a
Speaker 1: true blue colstur cultural. He's one of our closest friends.
Speaker 1: Um he has. You will have just seen his half
Speaker 1: hour on Comedy Central fucking slayed the house down, Boots. Also,
Speaker 1: his album is coming out Model Minority. It is so good.
Speaker 1: We were at both live recordings, baby, and he killed
Speaker 1: both recordings. Honestly excited to see which cuts made it
Speaker 1: from either night. I definitely was watching both nights. I
Speaker 1: wonder which cold um and I feel like, no matter what, yes,
Speaker 1: people will be very satisfied, very satisfied, ha ha ha.
Speaker 1: And um god, he's just otherwise prolific. You've seen him
Speaker 1: on Conan, and you will see him on Conan, and
Speaker 1: you will see him on Conan, and you've seen him
Speaker 1: on a comedy knockout. The list goes on. Guys, please
Speaker 1: welcome our friend Joe Kim Booster. This is thrilling to
Speaker 1: be the first. That's right, Pat Regan the first. Now
Speaker 1: Pat holds a real um place in lost culture. Restas
Speaker 1: I guess, fan enough fandom. What would you call it? Canon?
Speaker 1: The cannon as you know, the icon of original the
Speaker 1: third co host? Spill tea right now, No, don't do
Speaker 1: spill the tea here and the tea will burn through
Speaker 1: the ground. It's so hot. One time Bowen said to me,
Speaker 1: maybe we should get a third co host. No, I
Speaker 1: did not phrase it. How dare you? I said, And
Speaker 1: he said, I just feel like you could be better.
Speaker 1: He never said that, but he did. He did, he
Speaker 1: would go out of the idea about you. I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: just a wild idea. What if we got a third
Speaker 1: co host? Like what if? I couldn't believe? And I was.
Speaker 1: I was like, because I'm listening to this PAD episode
Speaker 1: and it's so fun, and like maybe every now and
Speaker 1: then I couldn't. I can't imagine. You wouldn't be able.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be able to have I love Pat. I
Speaker 1: think Pat is one of the most underrated comedians in
Speaker 1: the community. I think the industry needs to take note
Speaker 1: of Pat Regan. But I can't imagine it would be
Speaker 1: a three person podcast. Every time there would be room,
Speaker 1: there would literally there wouldn't be room at this table.
Speaker 1: We've said so many times it's a small table, Get
Speaker 1: us a big or a table. I mean you're on
Speaker 1: your time out best podcast award winner award. Okay, But
Speaker 1: also a lot of things have changed since I made
Speaker 1: that statement, because Browan is currently pulling up Pat Reagan's
Speaker 1: instant story. Pat No, no, no, not not a insto story.
Speaker 1: Pat Reagan sent me this menacing bullying video in reference
Speaker 1: to our upcoming show Culture as part of the New
Speaker 1: York Comedy Festival, which we can announce right now that
Speaker 1: we're sitting with one of the judges, one of the
Speaker 1: judges of Culture. He and he and I have had
Speaker 1: some antagonism going on in the last few days. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it was an antagonism for me. I think
Speaker 1: you came for me on Facebook, which was not a
Speaker 1: smart strategy for come for a judge online. You initiated
Speaker 1: this antagonism, I didn't. I just teams, the team rosters
Speaker 1: went out. You said, wow, a lot of heavy hitters
Speaker 1: on Matt's team. Someone's feeling competent. Yes, And I would
Speaker 1: say I would say that is my pretty neutral No,
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything about the quality of your team.
Speaker 1: I didn't say a goddamn thing about your team. I
Speaker 1: didn't say you mass at least add that my team
Speaker 1: had to listen. If you want to project that onto
Speaker 1: my comment, If you want to project all intent onto me,
Speaker 1: one of your closest friends, then that's your decision. Also prerogative.
Speaker 1: Also would judge. I don't know, bitch, I don't know
Speaker 1: if your jet lagged or what. But this rageous, this
Speaker 1: is him all the time. I don't know about this. Well,
Speaker 1: I want to play No, I want to play this video,
Speaker 1: this very menacing bullying video, honestly, and I will post
Speaker 1: by the time this episode releases, will make it online.
Speaker 1: This you gotta hear this, so it is really in
Speaker 1: rare form. Oh so I should preface this by saying
Speaker 1: that the way that our teams were chosen was Matt
Speaker 1: and I at the same time. I was at the
Speaker 1: airport in Brisbane and Matt was god knows where um,
Speaker 1: but we at the same time. We arranged a time
Speaker 1: for us to send each other probably street corner and
Speaker 1: Prospect Park cooking and looking, cooking and look in, and
Speaker 1: we arranged the time for us to send our picks
Speaker 1: at the same time, so no one believe it was
Speaker 1: two thirty pm. And for me that was like you know,
Speaker 1: uh something like that, and then um and he overlaps
Speaker 1: any conflicting any any members. We both wanted we would
Speaker 1: have to fight over or our flipp a coin over,
Speaker 1: and so no, we would debate. We would debate, and
Speaker 1: I knew that Matt would have his picks, and so
Speaker 1: I wanted to have as friction lists of a list
Speaker 1: exchange as possible. So with that in mind, here's Pat's
Speaker 1: video that he sent me. I know it was an
Speaker 1: on your list for culture. Don't try to lie, bitch.
Speaker 1: I just taught me everything and now I'm going to
Speaker 1: make you suffer. So I'm so proud. No, No, he's
Speaker 1: a bully guy. I had heard a peep out of
Speaker 1: any any of the any of the delicate flowers on
Speaker 1: bones something. They're being really aggressive. Amanda Dwarte is being
Speaker 1: really aggressive. Praise be she is doing everything right and
Speaker 1: she I I call foul play when she shared foul
Speaker 1: play when she shared Nicole Silverberg's post amazing post and said,
Speaker 1: how could Matt's team even show up when Bowen's team
Speaker 1: is out here doing good work in the world. I
Speaker 1: feel it's an appropriation of I feel she appropriated. She
Speaker 1: can't you can't appropriate your own allies. Honey, you can.
Speaker 1: I can. I don't know about that. Maybe my language
Speaker 1: is off, but I know my heart. Okay, you know
Speaker 1: this is a Real Housewives defense. If I had ever
Speaker 1: heard how there is no argument that you can come
Speaker 1: up against that. I don't know my words, but I
Speaker 1: know my heart. Oh that's gorgeous. Put it on my tombstone.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I don't know my words, but my heart.
Speaker 1: Recently on Real Housewives of Dallas season two, which is
Speaker 1: a must see for even in an uninitiated Real Housewives fan,
Speaker 1: it is a it is an amazing show season that
Speaker 1: we've got everything. You've got a woman who wants to
Speaker 1: start a pink dog food company, the evil head of
Speaker 1: a cosmetics company. Um. Everyone's marriage is failing, and there
Speaker 1: are two former best friends, much like Bowen and matt Um.
Speaker 1: On the off season in between the first and the
Speaker 1: second season, one of the friends wrote about the other
Speaker 1: friend's marriage that it was like watching a car crash
Speaker 1: happen in slow motion and in on her on her
Speaker 1: like Bravo affiliated blog, and then the other friend. So
Speaker 1: that we come into this season, the friends are feuding
Speaker 1: and the one friend who wrote that on her blog
Speaker 1: doesn't know why her friend is mad at her, and
Speaker 1: so they have early in the season confrontation about it.
Speaker 1: And her defense of writing this about her best friend's marriages, Well,
Speaker 1: that was just on my blog. That was just something
Speaker 1: I wrote on That's just something I wrote on a blog,
Speaker 1: which I think is very ragyan. I mean, that's just
Speaker 1: in my heart. That's just when that's my heart. When
Speaker 1: you're drowning, you don't fight to the surface politely. That
Speaker 1: is what the un ending fount of fucking nonsense over here.
Speaker 1: When they're drowning, you don't be polite. Guys. Matt is
Speaker 1: in a place right now where he wants to like
Speaker 1: come up with these platitudes. But the thing is is
Speaker 1: you can't argue with it because because well I know
Speaker 1: that if I were drowning, I would not want to
Speaker 1: be polite exactly, And so I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know what application that has to a conversation. Polite is
Speaker 1: not an alternative and like being rude, whatever, you guy,
Speaker 1: you have no idea how to even Let's just walk
Speaker 1: it back. Okay. There was a show called Battle of
Speaker 1: a Divas Okay, hosted by Everything to Do with this
Speaker 1: the thing we were always admired about this podcast. It
Speaker 1: is so alienating to viewers who don't live in New York,
Speaker 1: and it's not people love it. People love constantly. Both
Speaker 1: of you will be like and then one day Amanda said,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah, And I, as a listener,
Speaker 1: know who you're talking about, but a gigantic following. You
Speaker 1: are a unequivably a very successful podcast. And I would
Speaker 1: guess that the people who listen don't know who nine.
Speaker 1: That's not true, as they culturalist us here in my call.
Speaker 1: I know that you're all out there. I know what
Speaker 1: you're out there with. Your Google's out searching, searching, searching,
Speaker 1: And here's what I'll say, looking for these names, these
Speaker 1: trash names, Amanda Dwarte, Nicole Silverberg. That wasn't even the
Speaker 1: Amanda that was referencing that you mentioned, but who was. Yeah, ye,
Speaker 1: people know her. People know Amanda. They know her because
Speaker 1: we've referenced several times. But I would say, there's a
Speaker 1: list of ten people under Team Bone and that's ash okay. Well,
Speaker 1: and now what I was saying was you don't know
Speaker 1: what it means to truly fight. Oh my God, Team Bowen,
Speaker 1: just understand that your leader, he lost to me at
Speaker 1: Battle of the Diva's when I was rapping Christina Guilera
Speaker 1: and you were wrapping Britney Spears because you tried to
Speaker 1: play the quote unquote right way. Well, I will win
Speaker 1: no matter what. That what the dude, no matter what
Speaker 1: you know? You know what that makes you, Matt what
Speaker 1: it makes you? Know what? That makes me, first and
Speaker 1: foremost Hillary Clinton, And it makes you the monster who
Speaker 1: smashed the political machine. Don't Valentin Valentine. I'm Hillary and
Speaker 1: your Valentine. What I'm saying to all my fans, what
Speaker 1: I'm saying to all my fans out there is why
Speaker 1: don't you visit the instagram pages of Bowen and everyone
Speaker 1: on his team and just show them a little bit
Speaker 1: of love by posting a rose Oh my God act
Speaker 1: on the on the day of Selena's birthday. Of all days,
Speaker 1: is that what today is? Today? We were recording, We
Speaker 1: were I mean, yeah, we're recording on Salina's birthday. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Please don't don't do that. I just want to say
Speaker 1: that first of all, at that very show, and we
Speaker 1: have to bring Joel into this, but he's in it.
Speaker 1: He said he's in it. He's in it. But I
Speaker 1: will say, and I've I've said this on the podcast before.
Speaker 1: You ad Hominem attacked me so hard. You called me
Speaker 1: old when you are older than I am. You said
Speaker 1: both Brittany Spears and I are um stupid and old
Speaker 1: like those. That was your argument, that was your main argument,
Speaker 1: and I don't think for that to have been an
Speaker 1: effective strategy. Is Trumpian and Valentinian and Rogan Ragan and
Speaker 1: you know what wait, hold on? Was Dallas? Is Dallas
Speaker 1: the one we're in a recent episode like they were
Speaker 1: on the beach and then one of the how so
Speaker 1: I've thought it'd be funny to put a dild. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is Dallas. They're all awful. They're also terrible. No,
Speaker 1: I actually think that there are there's one that was
Speaker 1: born was abandoned at a carnival and grew up at
Speaker 1: as a carny. It is and and she does bring
Speaker 1: it up at every possible like to get out of
Speaker 1: any situation. It is her trump card, and it is amazing.
Speaker 1: I would they're the woman who wants to start the
Speaker 1: pink dog food also her like angle her narrative and
Speaker 1: all the women say this about her is that she's
Speaker 1: very smart but she plays dumb, and I don't think
Speaker 1: that's true. They have them there. There's an honest tea
Speaker 1: party that they have where they each put in an
Speaker 1: anonymous question about one of the other girls into a
Speaker 1: teapot to like sort of get all the tea out
Speaker 1: in the open. And I think it was no one
Speaker 1: thought this. And this girl, the girl who wanted to
Speaker 1: start the Pink Dog food company, one of the questions
Speaker 1: she put in and everyone's saying like, why did you
Speaker 1: say this about Stephanie behind your back? Why did you
Speaker 1: say DeAndre can't come into your house? Etcetera, etcetera. And
Speaker 1: then they get to one and it just says, what's
Speaker 1: your favorite vacation destination? And this girl was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't know what we were doing here, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: Or actually she is very smart by doing something so
Speaker 1: in not putting something in that she's so stupid that
Speaker 1: she is on a different level, So it's hard to tell.
Speaker 1: It's very January Jones thing. It's like is she a
Speaker 1: good actress or she's so bad that does it come around?
Speaker 1: Full totally suit made me watch a couple episodes of
Speaker 1: New Jersey the other day and have you been watching
Speaker 1: New Jersey not the new season night, okay, because there
Speaker 1: was a huge conflict about one of them baked a
Speaker 1: cake for another one and I think it was like
Speaker 1: Teresa or someone else took the cake and threw the
Speaker 1: cake and the restaurant, and the argument was the girl
Speaker 1: who made the cake and gifted it to the girl
Speaker 1: was upset because she felt she was disrespected and also
Speaker 1: they disrespected the restaurant in her quote unquote town. This
Speaker 1: was her town. But the girls who threw the cake,
Speaker 1: who whose birthday it was, said, well, it's my cake,
Speaker 1: I should be able to do what I want with it,
Speaker 1: which and it sounds very rogging, sounds exactly like something
Speaker 1: I think with a cake, I wouldn't throw. With a cake,
Speaker 1: I would say something like, well it's my cake, so
Speaker 1: I can do what I want, but I wouldn't throw it.
Speaker 1: Trust I have respect for restaurant employees in one city
Speaker 1: who like was too classy to be on the show.
Speaker 1: There's there, well, there's a lot. There's a lot. There's
Speaker 1: at least one on every season on every franchise, like
Speaker 1: Carol radzwill is a fucking Kennedy and she's on the show.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say this, it's very roging and like
Speaker 1: Matt is Maddie Roger and in the Housewives world, Matt
Speaker 1: is the Teresa. I know they're different franchises, they're different cities,
Speaker 1: but I'm the Carol. I am the Kennedy and Matt
Speaker 1: is like the New Jersey housewife. To put things, to
Speaker 1: put things in New York terms, I think Matt is
Speaker 1: the Ramona. You are the Carol. I have so many problems.
Speaker 1: I don't even watch the shows. I don't even watch
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I'm not saying that. It's like you
Speaker 1: are not the Carol because Carol is untouchable because she's
Speaker 1: always right, and you're not. Oh my god, you have
Speaker 1: some flaws. Okay, all right, and you are Countess Luanne.
Speaker 1: And this makes Joel the dy coo and of everything
Speaker 1: because he is just watching idly. I want to say something, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is your podcast. If I'm Christina and you're Brittany,
Speaker 1: who's Joel Jessica, No, no, no, may Mandy because he
Speaker 1: can keep the career? Is that what we're saying about
Speaker 1: it that he has claimed to fame in all of
Speaker 1: this career kept a very stable, consistent But that's that
Speaker 1: is a hard plate to spend. I will say that
Speaker 1: I believe that for Joel. No, you're saying that I'm
Speaker 1: going to have about a decade of a dip. No, no, No,
Speaker 1: she never had. Never jep, Honey, she never did. Because
Speaker 1: even in that quote unquote dip, she was turning it
Speaker 1: on Gray's and apps the timeline I'm not familiar music music, music,
Speaker 1: walk to remember, how to deal, saved, Saved, and then
Speaker 1: did Gray's Anatomy, then right into Tangled. Did not know
Speaker 1: that she was on Grays She she did two episodes, No,
Speaker 1: she did more than two. She was in she was
Speaker 1: in the shooting episode, she was in the one supersized
Speaker 1: shooting episode. Um, and then she came back during the
Speaker 1: documentary episode. And then at the end it's revealed that
Speaker 1: she dies. It was very sad and it's like an
Speaker 1: emotional moment for and now she's doing Sally Field drag
Speaker 1: regular on This is Us. She is doing Sally Field drag.
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch that show, no way, refuse.
Speaker 1: And I really like Parenthood, which is sort of its
Speaker 1: spiritual predecessor on ABC. I really loved that show. But
Speaker 1: I can't to. I just can't do emotion porn right now.
Speaker 1: I feel like the world is too sad. I don't
Speaker 1: need I don't need that kind of entertainment in my life.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm watching Real Housewives of dat. Yeah. No, honestly,
Speaker 1: I've been obsessed with Project Runway. Oh yes, you so
Speaker 1: I have missed a lot while I've been gone. First
Speaker 1: of all, we have not addressed that I've been away,
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about this later, but I want to
Speaker 1: talk about our our media diets right now, specifically Joel's.
Speaker 1: He's the guest after all. But Joel I feel like
Speaker 1: has a very wide breadth of He's a very wide,
Speaker 1: sophisticated palette. I don't know. This bitch is posting all
Speaker 1: the time on Real Housewives Facebook, But I'm saying I
Speaker 1: don't think he watches anything else. No, but I think
Speaker 1: he watches a lot of it. Okay, let's let Joel
Speaker 1: speak for yourself. So no, I I think I do
Speaker 1: have generally throughout the year a pretty good diet. But
Speaker 1: right now, you know, as bowen It was involved in
Speaker 1: this project, I've been developed being a show for a
Speaker 1: cable network that is as yet undisclosed, and it's uh.
Speaker 1: And I find as I've been writing this show, it's
Speaker 1: very difficult for me to watch regular art of television.
Speaker 1: So I've been watching a lot of Real Housewives, a
Speaker 1: lot of American Ninja Warriors. I don't think any they haven't.
Speaker 1: They haven't shouted it out as much as you would think.
Speaker 1: Some of the women, it seems clear, but uh. And
Speaker 1: some of the men, it seems must be there must be. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I think there have been at least one
Speaker 1: that that I'm aware, and then a lot of them.
Speaker 1: I actually I dived into Will and Grace and I
Speaker 1: haven't seen the new. I haven't. I haven't seen the
Speaker 1: new I've been watching. I've been putting on the old
Speaker 1: one in the background. And I started and I got
Speaker 1: to say as I began, I said to I thought
Speaker 1: this show benefited from being unavailable for so many years
Speaker 1: because I did not think it held up as well
Speaker 1: as I wanted it too in my brain. And there's
Speaker 1: two and I'll say one more thing. I'm now in
Speaker 1: the final season, and I actually think it gets much better.
Speaker 1: I think it's flit. I think, unlike most sitcoms of
Speaker 1: that that ILK like Frasier and Friends and things like that.
Speaker 1: I think it actually get gets much better because it
Speaker 1: gets more absurd and less tethered to reality. And I think, um,
Speaker 1: the other thing. The other reason I think it doesn't
Speaker 1: hold up quite as much as I wanted it too
Speaker 1: is because I think so much of it was so
Speaker 1: formative and informing my own comedic sensibilities that it felt
Speaker 1: old had Like I watched the episode real early on
Speaker 1: where uh Jack meets Share, and it wasn't as funny
Speaker 1: as I remembered it being, only because it was so
Speaker 1: ingrained in my like like Jack's impression of Share became
Speaker 1: all of our impressions of And so I think, like
Speaker 1: it just didn't hit me as hard. But I'll say, like,
Speaker 1: as much as some of it just does not, I don't.
Speaker 1: I think it's up. It was. It's a lot broader
Speaker 1: than even I think Friends or Frasier was at the time.
Speaker 1: Sean Hayes does some incredible work on that. He's incredible,
Speaker 1: and he's continued to do it in like the there
Speaker 1: I guess new iteration. It's so theatrical and yeah, and
Speaker 1: people talk about Karen, who is amazing as well. I
Speaker 1: think Mega malally is incredible in that show. But Sean
Speaker 1: Hayes is so like the stuff that he got they
Speaker 1: put on television of him doing is so outrageous to me,
Speaker 1: Like even watching it now, the gay guy do like
Speaker 1: fucking backflips and ship like like there's a scene where
Speaker 1: he pretends to be pushing through a crowd as he's
Speaker 1: escaping a scene of a breakup, and it is and
Speaker 1: it's the guy from Amazing Physical, Amazing Physicalstel referred to
Speaker 1: it as chaplain esque. Yeah, it really is, and I
Speaker 1: think I encourage everybody who even though I agree, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure we needed will and grace back. I think
Speaker 1: if I think it's it's it makes me feel very
Speaker 1: anxious that we think, you know what, you know what
Speaker 1: I think it is, though, I think it's a little
Speaker 1: lit miss test for friends reunion. No, really something else
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say, Like it feels
Speaker 1: I know they started the wheels turning back when it
Speaker 1: didn't feel like Trump was going to be but it
Speaker 1: just feels like this way to be back in two thousand,
Speaker 1: which is like crazy to me. I do feel like
Speaker 1: we're hitting the nostalgia like psycho of like well, how
Speaker 1: did how did things feel back in the late nineties
Speaker 1: when everything felt sort of post everything and all right, Like,
Speaker 1: because now do you see the slate of juke buck
Speaker 1: musicals that are coming out that's now a fast share
Speaker 1: Jimmy Buff, Jimmy Buff that I just saw a list
Speaker 1: somebody listed the ones that are coming down the pike
Speaker 1: and there's like eight that in development right now, and
Speaker 1: that's like that I feel like was a product of
Speaker 1: that same time period too. I feel like as the
Speaker 1: alt right is sort of reviving all of these things
Speaker 1: that died in the past now where the like liberal
Speaker 1: response is we're doing the only thing we can. Jukebox
Speaker 1: musicals and Will and Greg and multi camp sitcoms. I
Speaker 1: have been really I have been like pleasantly surprised by
Speaker 1: Will and Grace, though like I've heard that, I've heard
Speaker 1: that I just haven't had the strength yet to visit it.
Speaker 1: I I totally get that. I've watched the first two.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get past the first five minutes of the
Speaker 1: first episode where it's like they talk about they Definitely
Speaker 1: it was a pretty hacky start to the episode, I thought,
Speaker 1: because it was like we have to justify why none
Speaker 1: of the last season matters or like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like or kind of toss out the last
Speaker 1: three episodes like what like they just like we're throwing
Speaker 1: slang around and it was just like oh no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: His first line is like a grinder. Yeah. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think Also the one my one takeaway now that I'm
Speaker 1: getting from Will and Graces that Vince is the best
Speaker 1: gay boyfriend I think we've ever had on television, on
Speaker 1: any gay focused media, I think Vince is the best one.
Speaker 1: And he pop. He colonized my brain, I think in
Speaker 1: my taste because I was thinking recently about like what
Speaker 1: I really want and what my type because people will
Speaker 1: ask me what my type is, and I think my
Speaker 1: type is one of two on two spectrums. One it's
Speaker 1: either I give me a swarthy Middle Eastern Italian Mediterranean
Speaker 1: man and a full Adidas track suit who grew up
Speaker 1: in Queens or give me like a corn fed Midwestern
Speaker 1: boy who is a golden retriever turned into a boy
Speaker 1: like that is that is those two sweet things? Well
Speaker 1: I did one of those, and so maybe I'll try
Speaker 1: the other thing same. I think I think we both
Speaker 1: had at the time when we're like the we're dating
Speaker 1: sort of the same thing right now, and it felt right.
Speaker 1: But I think let's find our track suits break them out, honestly,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe that is next. Um, Vince is
Speaker 1: one of our best gate boyfriends. And I will say,
Speaker 1: just to bring this back to Brittany, one of the
Speaker 1: best pop star guest star appearances on a sitcom. She
Speaker 1: was pretty. She was really funny. I'm right around the
Speaker 1: corner from that guest she was. She was like surprisingly funny.
Speaker 1: This was like right before seven, right before the breakdown,
Speaker 1: and she like at the time was like turning out
Speaker 1: the comedy performances and like this was back when you're like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, she like had a really good at SNL
Speaker 1: episode and really good and um but and then she
Speaker 1: like plays the fucking lesbian talk show host, like a
Speaker 1: super conservative talk show host who turns out to be lesbian,
Speaker 1: and it was just, you know, that's what I think
Speaker 1: peak TV has. We've lost In the mix of Peak
Speaker 1: TV is shows like Will and Grace and Friends and
Speaker 1: Fraser were guest star machine brack hit like every like
Speaker 1: every episode just had like a random like like start,
Speaker 1: like all these Ethan Embrey, like you know, these big
Speaker 1: random Star, but like like truly every episode of Will
Speaker 1: and Grace, like one of the Boyfriends, or like you know,
Speaker 1: every what shows like that. Yeah, they're honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: not that many. And I'm thinking because even on the
Speaker 1: multiicams that are that exist that are still clretty Rock
Speaker 1: might have been the last, the last big one. But
Speaker 1: like even if you think about the CBS multiicams, it
Speaker 1: comes that are sort of keeping that tradition alive. They're
Speaker 1: not doing that. There's not big guest stars on Big
Speaker 1: Bang or Two Broke Girls. I think that's because really
Speaker 1: big stars. No, they don't have to do that, and
Speaker 1: they don't want it because it's embarrassing because the quality
Speaker 1: of the shows. Yeah, because at that time, networks were
Speaker 1: still a powerful force of exactly there are eyes on it.
Speaker 1: And also you can watch any of those NBC musty
Speaker 1: TV shows and like actually laugh at them if you
Speaker 1: have taste, you know what I mean. Like those CBS shows,
Speaker 1: like they're you know, they're working real hard on Young Sheldon,
Speaker 1: They're working to watch I've watched a couple of an
Speaker 1: app I recently covered myself and shredded Mazzorella cheese. Got
Speaker 1: so high just eating out of the straight, laying prostrate
Speaker 1: on my on the flat on my back on my bed,
Speaker 1: eating out of a bag of shredded mozzarella, covering myself
Speaker 1: in and watched The Good Doctor and Young Sheldon just
Speaker 1: as a sort of turning off my brain. I was
Speaker 1: deeply depressed. You're catching me as I'm entering a manic face.
Speaker 1: So that's a good for a podcast recording. But that moment,
Speaker 1: and I'll say, uh, Young Sheldon, the mom there is
Speaker 1: if it weren't connected. The problem with Young Sheldon is
Speaker 1: that it's because the thing is is there are some
Speaker 1: actually really lovely moments any Potts is on it, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she plays the grandmother. The mother is actually really sort
Speaker 1: of there are wonderful moments with her, like doing these
Speaker 1: wonderful mom moments where she's like advocating for her kid
Speaker 1: who's clearly on the spectrum. And yet you know that
Speaker 1: this kid grows up to be an asshole who has
Speaker 1: no sense of joy, and so you're like, oh, well
Speaker 1: we know where this is going. It's it's sad because
Speaker 1: like if if the story was sort of about like
Speaker 1: how does this crotchety like lame kid sort of grow
Speaker 1: up to be something better than what he is now.
Speaker 1: It would be something sort of nice and beautiful to watch.
Speaker 1: But as it stands, because we know he turns into
Speaker 1: Jim Parsons, it's like we don't know how big bang
Speaker 1: theory is. Maybe that's true, maybe he'll turn around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's not that's not gonna do anything for you.
Speaker 1: I will say watch The Good Doctor though, because it
Speaker 1: is good. Turn your brain, wait until there are eleven
Speaker 1: episodes to watch and you have the flu, and watch
Speaker 1: some Good Doctors. Seriously, it's actually good. I mean it's
Speaker 1: the guy who created House. So it's incredibly consumable and
Speaker 1: watchable and like sort of comforting in that in in
Speaker 1: that its digestibility and the formula of you know, he
Speaker 1: there's a problem, Like I think Houses so watchable just
Speaker 1: because it's like you've gotta find that mystery that network
Speaker 1: television is good at creative the premises he's autestic basically okay, cool,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, i'd watch that. I don't love that kid.
Speaker 1: I don't know something about him. He was in Finding Neverland,
Speaker 1: he was he was in movies, and he also was
Speaker 1: in Um. I think you're I think you're missing the
Speaker 1: Marquis role, which is which is what? Oh you're saying, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 1: people are saying Freddy Highmore and connecting him to finding them.
Speaker 1: I think they are. Should we should be searching con
Speaker 1: search Bates Motel, that's it Motel, Yes, of course, And
Speaker 1: so is that show over? Yes, Vera's career that's a
Speaker 1: sad story because like Vera is so good, fantastic, fantastic, very,
Speaker 1: so good, and you know, she's probably one of the
Speaker 1: actresses that's like, okay, um the should we have our
Speaker 1: list of twenty and at sixteen is Vera? And you
Speaker 1: know number three says yes. So it's like, what do
Speaker 1: you do if you're four through fifteen? And then Carrie
Speaker 1: Coon and waiting patiently. I think actually Carry Coon's maybe
Speaker 1: eclipsed Vera now, I think so she's more of the moment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's oh, she's carry Coon. I feel like it is
Speaker 1: the Sarah Paulson right now, the television actress that becomes
Speaker 1: a huge fucking deal because she just keeps showing how
Speaker 1: fucking good she. I just saw Harry Coon in a
Speaker 1: play Mary Jane in New York and it is one
Speaker 1: of the most devastating performances I've ever seen. Understated you
Speaker 1: described this, She said she had at the end of
Speaker 1: the first act of Mary Jane that it's sent Chuck,
Speaker 1: I've never Here's my thing about theater right now is
Speaker 1: I don't need to see another dramatic realism play. I
Speaker 1: I find that boring, Like, don't show me someone chopping
Speaker 1: vegetables on stage, Like that's what television and movies are for.
Speaker 1: That's what I feel anyways, And this play is very
Speaker 1: much that. It's very much like you're watching her full laundry,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's like a moment. But I'll watch
Speaker 1: carry Con do that because she sells it in such
Speaker 1: a way that is remarkable. What is the line? The
Speaker 1: line it won't make sense that I don't think it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, honey. Why are you sorry? Sweetie? Why are
Speaker 1: you sorry? I have no idea what it means. But
Speaker 1: and it's and it's there's layers because she's not crying,
Speaker 1: but she is crying, and she's comforting, and she's terrifying.
Speaker 1: It's Carrie. Only an actress of carry Coon's caliber could
Speaker 1: could pull that off. I don't know if I can
Speaker 1: get over that. Her name is Carrie. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say her name carry coon. That's just a bad name.
Speaker 1: It does sound like an early Amy Adams role, doesn't
Speaker 1: it character's name? It's June. Okay, so um, Alternative US
Speaker 1: has to tell you a little something. So we're going
Speaker 1: to take a break and come right back with Bull.
Speaker 1: Jim Couster. Oh, man, I think I sense a chill
Speaker 1: in the air. Yes, well, if you thought that chill
Speaker 1: was the fall the autumn, I have to say it's not.
Speaker 1: It's a chill between you and I. That's because we
Speaker 1: are going head to head people at culch War. It's
Speaker 1: our show for New York Comedy Festival, and it's an
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Honey, deathmatch. Team Matt and Team
Speaker 1: Bowen are going to have their own teams of ten
Speaker 1: comedians basing off head to head in many rounds, Honey,
Speaker 1: for the title of the Ultimate Culture e Sta. Yes,
Speaker 1: there will be a hundred dollar cash prize. Now, what
Speaker 1: are some things you can do with a hundred dollars? Bowen? Oh,
Speaker 1: I think you could pay for a Spirit Airlines ticket
Speaker 1: to Tacoma. I think that that's a pretty reasonable that
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, uh bill. Oh yeah. I think
Speaker 1: someone whoever wins Coach War will be paying their condent bill,
Speaker 1: and they'll also be bringing glory and victory to either
Speaker 1: Team Matt or Team Bowen. You will find out which
Speaker 1: team wins on November seven pm. This is for New

Speaker 1: is Election Day, And I would say that this election
Speaker 1: is more important than anything else that's happening in the country. Yes,
Speaker 1: I agree. Now, if you can't make November seven, if
Speaker 1: that's not something you can make work, then you can
Speaker 1: come to the beautiful, more positive, more cathartic uh the

Speaker 1: there you go, people to options and we'll find out
Speaker 1: who can really serve culture. It's getting colder in here. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're back with Joel. Now. Before we get back to no,
Speaker 1: don't cut all right, let me tell you something We're
Speaker 1: not Yes, no, do what you want to do. This
Speaker 1: is not fair. Every other fucking week you come in
Speaker 1: with some request to cut something out of the episode
Speaker 1: for some unseemly thing that you say, how dare you
Speaker 1: rip that? Rip off? My launch made me. I need
Speaker 1: to retake that. Fine, keep it, keep it because this
Speaker 1: is the real this is this is cinema. Very fucking tay. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: here we go. I don't think he used that right
Speaker 1: at all. Cinema very day. Yeah, no he did, so
Speaker 1: somebody knows his words, so I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know my heart, but I don't know my words. Okay,
Speaker 1: you guys before we get back to I honestly don't
Speaker 1: know what we're keeping it. Read it. I think this
Speaker 1: is part of the charm. I think people like this. Yeah, sure, um,
Speaker 1: really funny story. Um. A couple of weeks ago, we
Speaker 1: had a contest for whoever left the hundredth review on
Speaker 1: iTunes on Apple podcasts, and um, wouldn't you know it?
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of a lot of reviews
Speaker 1: came in, but we have a winner, and I think
Speaker 1: I think it's not one, but two, because this is
Speaker 1: two separate drafts of the same review by two different
Speaker 1: user names, but with two system someone's a boat, someone's
Speaker 1: a boat, or someone's trying to gain us. I think
Speaker 1: someone is trying to cheat. The prize was by the
Speaker 1: way to quote have their tapestry of words read aloud
Speaker 1: on the podcast, which is what we're doing right now.
Speaker 1: So first review, very is from user make Lost culture
Speaker 1: stas bi weekly. Um title, yes, capital y and that
Speaker 1: will be important in a moment. Five stars, I don't
Speaker 1: think so honey, people who work out to anything other
Speaker 1: than the sounds of this podcast. There is a reason
Speaker 1: why the I d T s H is exactly one
Speaker 1: minute per person, and it's just for your planking convenience.
Speaker 1: I started running on Wednesday mornings just so I could
Speaker 1: spend some time with Matt and Bowen and Prospect Park,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't have it any other way. Definitely the
Speaker 1: number one podcast this year. Now the next review by
Speaker 1: Culture Queen. Yes sah lower case why already different but
Speaker 1: sort of similar. I don't think so, honey, people who
Speaker 1: work out to anything other than the sounds of this podcast.
Speaker 1: There was a reason why the I d T s
Speaker 1: H is exactly one minute per person, and it's for
Speaker 1: your planking convenience, hunting. I started running on Wednesday mornings
Speaker 1: just to have quality time with Matt Bowen and an
Speaker 1: empty Prospect Park, and now I'm fit and well versed
Speaker 1: in all things culture. So those are two very similar.
Speaker 1: I think it had to be. They were on their
Speaker 1: one user, Yes, they wanted they wanted to buy two
Speaker 1: Raffle takets. I think what happened was, hey, maybe they
Speaker 1: wanted a bigger chance of winning to be the one
Speaker 1: and guess what they did, or they clicked post and
Speaker 1: something happened and they question whether or not it was posted.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's what they did. Was they wentn't
Speaker 1: on their other user, but why wouldn't. And what they
Speaker 1: did was they said, well, I guess this is my
Speaker 1: second crack at it, and they made it more specific.
Speaker 1: I think the iTunes I actually do. I see that.
Speaker 1: I'm in their mind. I have done a similar situation,
Speaker 1: because it's like a tweet that like doesn't post and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, now I have the opportunity to make
Speaker 1: it better. And so I think that's what they did here.
Speaker 1: But I I and I also will say I think
Speaker 1: iTunes is on yieldy. I don't know. The interface is hard,
Speaker 1: it's hard to I just find it really suspect that
Speaker 1: they created to separate is damn it and use your
Speaker 1: name specifically for the podcast culture queen versus make class
Speaker 1: cultures despite but maybe they maybe they thought that the
Speaker 1: first one didn't create and so again they did sort of.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You're right, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know who to believe. I think there's a vast conspiracy
Speaker 1: um to Welcome to Info wars to leach, to leach
Speaker 1: our creative intellectual real estate, to leach off of that,
Speaker 1: and so I think I think there's something going on
Speaker 1: out there. Okay, we're back with Joel. Now, Joel, during
Speaker 1: a break, you just told us that you just saw
Speaker 1: on Broadway. Yes, my my agent said, you can see anything.
Speaker 1: I'll buy you tickets to anything on Broadway. Baby opened
Speaker 1: the gate, the gate, and she said, tell me what
Speaker 1: you want to see and we'll see it. And I said,
Speaker 1: you didn't say Hamilton, No, I said, because I saw it, bitch,
Speaker 1: original cast. I don't need to see anybody else spit
Speaker 1: those words. Um no, but I and I said I.
Speaker 1: I looked at the list of Broadway shows currently playing
Speaker 1: of the things that I had not seen, and I said, Baby,
Speaker 1: bring me to come from Away, give me that nine
Speaker 1: eleven poin. I left it. I sobbed throughout it, and
Speaker 1: I did. I went in not really wanting to like it.
Speaker 1: I kind of went because I was like, this is
Speaker 1: a free ticket. I'm not spending my own money, so
Speaker 1: I'll see something I can make fun of. And I
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Now tell someone who does not know what
Speaker 1: the play is, such as me, Um, I guys very
Speaker 1: uncultured when it comes to theater. Tell me, um it
Speaker 1: is about so on nine eleven, all the planes got
Speaker 1: grounded of course, um as you might remember, and um
Speaker 1: so they all got grounded and so a lot of
Speaker 1: them got grounded at the a very large airport in Newfoundland,
Speaker 1: uh in Canada, and um so it was just basically
Speaker 1: the play is it's an ensemble, multiple people playing multiple roles,
Speaker 1: sort of tracking real life stories, some composites and some
Speaker 1: actual like real people of this week that these people
Speaker 1: were basically trapped in Newfoundland, like an entire day they
Speaker 1: spent basically on the tour BAC and these planes, and
Speaker 1: the it's a story. It's a convergence of the people
Speaker 1: who were on the planes from all over the world
Speaker 1: who were grounded and trapped and didn't know what was
Speaker 1: going on. We're obviously terrified, and then the town that
Speaker 1: sort of comes together to support them in this time
Speaker 1: and then you know, and now there's a there's a
Speaker 1: storyline where these one guy from London who's a businessman
Speaker 1: who's sort of an uptight guy, and this woman from
Speaker 1: Dallas end up meeting on trapped on this plane and
Speaker 1: then they fall in love and get married and that's
Speaker 1: a real life story. UM. And then one of the
Speaker 1: women was the first UM one of the pilots was
Speaker 1: the first female commercial airline pilot UM ever on the
Speaker 1: thing and she, Oh my god, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know the actress. Yes, yes, and she was nominated for Tony.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the tourneys this last year, but damn,
Speaker 1: she is an incredible I saw her and you know
Speaker 1: what I saw her in um IF then Oh, she
Speaker 1: she seems like she probably lost a lot of roles
Speaker 1: to Sutton Foster or she seems within that type and
Speaker 1: certainly within the vocal range. But just like she's one
Speaker 1: of the best voices I've I've heard live incredible, UM
Speaker 1: and it is I believe my plane got to led
Speaker 1: getting back to America. We're here a new found then
Speaker 1: and we found each job and we are getting married,
Speaker 1: but we're never getting back on our playing producer joke,
Speaker 1: can you turn off the soundtrack? You come from away
Speaker 1: going to have a bright issue? He just mind, he
Speaker 1: mind going over to the controls for um. No, it
Speaker 1: was fantastic. It is. It is like the Laramie Project,
Speaker 1: sort of a very docu play thing. It is meant
Speaker 1: in ten years. It will be done at colleges and
Speaker 1: in high schools all over the country. Laramie projects come
Speaker 1: from away. It's necessary. Wow, I'm not building out the
Speaker 1: credit going into this company. I will say this, Uh,
Speaker 1: it is meant for for uh high schools and musicals.
Speaker 1: It's sort of I don't understand the point. It will
Speaker 1: be very interesting. It's it's weird for me to think
Speaker 1: about it being done by high school students who weren't
Speaker 1: alive during nine eleven. Was very students. I succumbed to
Speaker 1: the sort of not ness. I actually do feel like
Speaker 1: they hand it was less a tragedy porn than I
Speaker 1: thought it would be, because it is it is much
Speaker 1: less less about nine eleven and more about this specific experience,
Speaker 1: which I was impressed by. They don't go into a
Speaker 1: lot of like they don't feel the need to explain
Speaker 1: nine eleven to you, like every They sort of they
Speaker 1: don't talk down to the audience in that way. They
Speaker 1: sort of like, Okay, everybody coming into see the show
Speaker 1: knows what fucking nine eleven is. We don't need to
Speaker 1: explain it. This is a very unique experience. Like there's
Speaker 1: like a subplot about all the animals that are trapped
Speaker 1: on this plane and the sort of the difficulty of
Speaker 1: like how do you take care of these animals when
Speaker 1: nobody will let them into the baggage claim because you know,
Speaker 1: all the they think there could be bombs, and like
Speaker 1: there's a very sort of subtle um, there's a Muslim
Speaker 1: character and it's that's actually where I lost it, where
Speaker 1: they're like letting them off the plane finally, and they
Speaker 1: like sort of don't know if they should let him
Speaker 1: into the town, and it's it's devastating. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so I felt like it was less tragedy porn than
Speaker 1: I expected it to be going in, but it is
Speaker 1: definitely still that and uh not. I I tried to
Speaker 1: listen to the soundtrack afterwards. Other than Jen's song the
Speaker 1: Female Airline Pilot song, there isn't an earworm in the soundtrack.
Speaker 1: I won't say. A song that Joe just played for
Speaker 1: us was um City Hook City play it again? Yeah,
Speaker 1: could you play just one more time? I can't believe
Speaker 1: my plane gottal We're sitting here on that sarmac and
Speaker 1: we're never gonna find our well home. But we found
Speaker 1: each other. We found uh and the whole chorus. So wait,
Speaker 1: what was that it was? We found? Oh, just sometimes
Speaker 1: you can just do a vow? Can I tell you, guys?
Speaker 1: I was in Tesley today? Wait, you were aware tes
Speaker 1: Bernie Tesley's office, Bernie Telsey cast legally blonde, that's all.
Speaker 1: It's a casting office. And well, I can't believe, Thank god,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I've never met this man, because I've been
Speaker 1: telling people I have been going to Tesley all day.
Speaker 1: Uh wait, why were you there? I was just yeah,
Speaker 1: I had an audition, and I was there's multiple rooms,
Speaker 1: there's like because they're casting a thousand goddamn and one
Speaker 1: off some this boy went in. I was in the
Speaker 1: waiting I was in part of the waiting room with
Speaker 1: literally the entire cast of Oranges and New Black waiting
Speaker 1: to go in for some play. And I was waiting
Speaker 1: to go in for a movie. Yes, I am auditioning
Speaker 1: for movies. And and uh, there was a music. I
Speaker 1: think it was. I actually do think it was Hamilton's.
Speaker 1: I think they were sort of casting, like you know,
Speaker 1: they're doing a rolling casting presss for Hamilton's. And this
Speaker 1: boy sang let it go, let it go in his
Speaker 1: and then he sang it once and they asked him
Speaker 1: to sing it again, and he sang it in his
Speaker 1: head voice and the second time. The second time, but
Speaker 1: he said yeah. And it was not that I was shocked.
Speaker 1: We were all shocked collectively. It was actually a lovely
Speaker 1: moment between me and the cast of Oranges and New
Speaker 1: Black sitting there listening to this because we all were
Speaker 1: shocked that he was asked to sing it again. Wait,
Speaker 1: were there actual cast members from Osh? They were like
Speaker 1: like like many, like three guards from where my Black
Speaker 1: persist in his waiting room with me and no, And
Speaker 1: I could not believe, who the fuck are you this?
Speaker 1: There are a thousand people who want to get in
Speaker 1: the door to audition for this musical and you're you're
Speaker 1: bringing in fucking let it Go. Now, I applaud him.
Speaker 1: I think he's a villain. He's a goddamn villain. Get
Speaker 1: back to fucking Michigan where you belong. People that do that,
Speaker 1: I think are they think they're being subversive. They think
Speaker 1: they're like, I'm gonna bring in let it Go and
Speaker 1: it's actually gonna be good, And that's gonna really set
Speaker 1: me apart um because they're gonna be thinking, oh, he
Speaker 1: brought in let it Go. I roll, but then it's
Speaker 1: going to be good. And really it's just like, no,
Speaker 1: you brought in Lettic. He brought in let it Go.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing too, he was bad. If he
Speaker 1: if he had slayed, I probably would be in here
Speaker 1: thinking telling you an inspiring story. But I honestly feel
Speaker 1: like they heard him sing let it Go poorly once
Speaker 1: and then as a joke, as a prank, they said,
Speaker 1: now try it in your head voice? Fine, fine, fine,
Speaker 1: what song would you have sung? Come on, let's do this.
Speaker 1: I went to Telsey one time and audition for Nerds
Speaker 1: the Music, and I was there with Dave Mazzoni and
Speaker 1: Matteo Lane, and I sang Sunday Morning by Maroon five
Speaker 1: not appropriate. Dave sang um Amazed by a Lone Star
Speaker 1: not appropriate, and Mateo Land sang the Weirzard and I
Speaker 1: not appropriate. So the point and Joel, what about you?
Speaker 1: But already the point is we're not much better than
Speaker 1: this Letic. We're not musical theater actors. He did he
Speaker 1: sound like? Did he sound like he did this? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean he had the arch in his back,
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. And he walked out,
Speaker 1: and so I could tell he had a b f
Speaker 1: A under his belt, but he had he had an
Speaker 1: arch in his back that suggested he had a b
Speaker 1: f A in musical theater from Elon University. But no. Famously,
Speaker 1: when I was in undergrad UH for theater, I sang
Speaker 1: the same song for three semesters running at our unified
Speaker 1: purpose from Avenue. That's a great song, yeah, great, great
Speaker 1: little cut from Purpose, and I sang it at every
Speaker 1: unified professional, unified audition, and it got me two jobs
Speaker 1: in musical theater. She's a she. They were both thoroughly
Speaker 1: modern million What would you sing? Little bang Bang? I
Speaker 1: would sing bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra as interpreted by
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga during the Cheeks a Cheek tour um. But
Speaker 1: also I would sing just around the River band bitch,
Speaker 1: and also another basic Disney song. But if it works,
Speaker 1: it works. No, I don't. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: go in for musical theater, and rightfully so same, I
Speaker 1: mean me neither. I think I've never liked to try
Speaker 1: and put us, put yourself on our level. We're trash
Speaker 1: and your singing a singer, I've I'm not a singer
Speaker 1: Matt Roger. I'm not a singer, but you know who is.
Speaker 1: Jen Kalola plays the track. I can't believe my plane
Speaker 1: got to let We'll never get off this time. Mac.
Speaker 1: I know I won't find my way home, but I've
Speaker 1: found Husman here. Well, they left the animals off plan.
Speaker 1: Look what what is that interval? Okay, hold on it
Speaker 1: than you? Was it? I can't believe this planet. The
Speaker 1: interval from God to delayed was God. Now, I will say,
Speaker 1: you always make fun and criticize my intervals. They're not
Speaker 1: your intervals come from a ways intervals. We just heard
Speaker 1: three separate verses from the slightly different Uh it has
Speaker 1: two different prises. Yeah, but no, I've heard both of
Speaker 1: you sing live many times. When we go to piano
Speaker 1: bars in around New York City. You can find us there,
Speaker 1: and I am constantly impressed with both Matt, but also Bowe.
Speaker 1: You have one of the most technically proficient voices. I
Speaker 1: think you have that. And here's the thing. A lot
Speaker 1: a lot of people a part about singing, A part
Speaker 1: about singing, A part about singing that a lot of
Speaker 1: people don't talk about enough is memory. And Bowen has
Speaker 1: I once saw Bowen sing Uh Giants in the Sky
Speaker 1: A difficult son Sondheim is not an easy um song,
Speaker 1: like any Sondheim song is not easy to say that
Speaker 1: an easier Sondheim songs though anybody keep going. Bowen never
Speaker 1: looks at his phone. Boone never looks at lyrics. Bowen
Speaker 1: knows all these songs by heart. I can't. I'm so
Speaker 1: afraid to sing in front of people that I can't
Speaker 1: look anybody in the eye. I have to look at
Speaker 1: my phone most of the time. I can remember lyrics
Speaker 1: because again, the three parts of singing our memory, resident,
Speaker 1: and pitch. And I know memory memory is the part
Speaker 1: one of the three parts of singing that I'm good at.
Speaker 1: And I still I get so afraid I have to
Speaker 1: look at music because I don't want to look at anybody.
Speaker 1: And I have been paid twice in my life on
Speaker 1: I'm fashional level to sing in front of people live,
Speaker 1: and I still when I have to sing in front
Speaker 1: of people in casual settings, I get very nervous. It's
Speaker 1: because casual is different than professional. When it's professional that
Speaker 1: you're prepared for it, yea, And I know I go
Speaker 1: up here and I put it in my and I
Speaker 1: speak sing, you know, and I do a little and
Speaker 1: I actually that's the point, that's the bits, that's what
Speaker 1: they want to see. They want to see you perform.
Speaker 1: That's that's why I like Sunheim, you know, because it's
Speaker 1: for actors. It's not for singers, and that's why they
Speaker 1: have so many actors first doing the movie musicals. And
Speaker 1: that's I saw Into the Woods in the Park in
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve with Amy Adams and here's the thing.
Speaker 1: She did the reverse Jennifer Hudson, and Jennifer Hudson only
Speaker 1: begins to act when she starts to sing. And Amy
Speaker 1: Adams completely stopped singing acting when she began to sing
Speaker 1: because she could tell she like me, she had memory,
Speaker 1: but she was nervous about the other two and she
Speaker 1: stopped acting in the That's a problematic thing to do
Speaker 1: in a Santei musical because once again it's mostly singing
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of acting. Well, and I did
Speaker 1: see it the night, one of the nights that Snheim
Speaker 1: was in the audience, and so imagine being nervous play
Speaker 1: the baker's wife. She played the Baker's wife. I saw
Speaker 1: it with a friend who is an idiot and he
Speaker 1: asked at the end of the show at intermission, he said,
Speaker 1: because Glenn Close did the voice of the baker of
Speaker 1: the Giant's wife. And he said, do you think she's
Speaker 1: back there right now? And I said, no, friend, I
Speaker 1: don't think that. Glenn Close comes shows up to set
Speaker 1: and sits backstage on a god mike and does her
Speaker 1: lines and acts opposite these people. I thought he was great.
Speaker 1: People hated him, but I liked him a lot, mostly
Speaker 1: because I, again, I appreciate the acting with him, the
Speaker 1: singing and Jesse Mueller Chicago. I almost said Chicago friend,
Speaker 1: but she's not a friend. She is an acquaintance at best,
Speaker 1: and she she's very nice. I've met her at least
Speaker 1: twice in Chicago, and she's very kind. And her family
Speaker 1: is like Chicago royalty. They're all all the Mulers are
Speaker 1: are extremely talented, cool Christians, Christians Christians, but cool, you know,
Speaker 1: cool obviously because they won't work in the theater. They
Speaker 1: have to be cool with gay people. And I saw
Speaker 1: her brother was in Sidetrack, a great gay bar in Chicago,
Speaker 1: watched and watched her. His sister went and Tony and
Speaker 1: cried in Sidetrack and I saw it happen. He's gay. No,
Speaker 1: but he was just in a gay bar. It's a
Speaker 1: good place to watch the Tonys. Hey, we're not here
Speaker 1: to do that today. We're here to talk about Model Minority.
Speaker 1: Model Minority album by Joe Kimbers. Now listen. It's out
Speaker 1: on November four, third, but you can get on Rember
Speaker 1: four because it'll have been you're trying to wrap this ship. No,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no no, I just want to talk about that.
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that we want to
Speaker 1: talk about the album of us and the half hour,
Speaker 1: but the album is the centerpiece and the albums I
Speaker 1: want to talk about the alb because you know what
Speaker 1: was I I thought when I was listening to the album,
Speaker 1: I thought this would be something that I would have
Speaker 1: enjoyed very much in high school. I was down there,
Speaker 1: like not saying that you need to be sad, but
Speaker 1: I understand I'm saying I couldn't. If I were in
Speaker 1: high school, I would have loved this. But like a
Speaker 1: fifteen year old emotional intelligence, this would really kill um. No.
Speaker 1: What I meant was like, that was the first time
Speaker 1: I can remember becoming like really into a comedy album
Speaker 1: and looking really just trying to desperately grasp at your
Speaker 1: role models. Yeah, there were so many. It just it
Speaker 1: took me back to that place in a way that
Speaker 1: I remembered being that age, and like discovering all the
Speaker 1: Margaret Show albums and like, um, you know, I really
Speaker 1: loved Sandra burn Harden, like it gave me the feeling
Speaker 1: of wow, I could listen to this album a lot
Speaker 1: and I feel the same way. Yeah, But you can't
Speaker 1: say anything original about it, something reiginal. You go, this
Speaker 1: is someone who has had such a textured life. Look
Speaker 1: at him and his eyes. No, no, no, because this
Speaker 1: is this is this is a scholarly academic assessment. No,
Speaker 1: this is Here's the thing. In all seriousness, it's an
Speaker 1: amazing album because Joel has an amazing story and he's
Speaker 1: able to speak from and sorry to get all identity politics,
Speaker 1: he's able to speak from this queer Asian perspective. But
Speaker 1: it's also um, it also is just sort of textured
Speaker 1: and framed with all these other amazing things that like
Speaker 1: are so specific to him and no one else can
Speaker 1: talk about. And it's it's one amazing on like on
Speaker 1: an experiential life, experienced storytelling level, but too. It's just
Speaker 1: filled with jokes, baby, and it's so good. It's so
Speaker 1: good I would like to hit than it is filled
Speaker 1: with jokes. Yeah, it's filled with jokes. It filled. I
Speaker 1: listened to it the whole way through both minds and
Speaker 1: enjoyed myself both times. I say, is that as a
Speaker 1: replay value? Bit here? This is one of Joel's strengths
Speaker 1: as a stand up. He is a master a crowd work.
Speaker 1: And he had two very different nights of crowd work. Well,
Speaker 1: and here's the thing. Here's a little little secret and
Speaker 1: behind peek, behind the curtain, if you will, about that
Speaker 1: is I listened to both nights and I went to
Speaker 1: Comedy Central and I said, I love both these knights
Speaker 1: of crowd work. Can we stitch it together and make
Speaker 1: it sound like one night? And I and there he's siging,
Speaker 1: he's saying he was And I said, and they said, uh,
Speaker 1: not for all of it, but there is um I
Speaker 1: like to interrogate people about. I think that there's a
Speaker 1: there's a part in the show where I I talked
Speaker 1: to couples, specifically in couples and I and straight men,
Speaker 1: and I all both of those we were able to
Speaker 1: stitch together and it sounds seamless. It actually, they did
Speaker 1: a really good job of making it sound like I
Speaker 1: just jumped from and I just did two couples. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I thought you were going to say
Speaker 1: that they it seems seamless and that it's the it
Speaker 1: feels like it's the same straight guy. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it is just like it sounds like I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm done talking to you and now I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: over here and talk to SAP because I's it's one
Speaker 1: of I. I I come from a place of uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the imposter syndrome. I don't like to talk
Speaker 1: myself up, but I will say one thing that I
Speaker 1: do feel very confident about my my comedic abilities is
Speaker 1: crowd work. And I love doing it and I um
Speaker 1: very proud of that aspect of the album. Not everyone
Speaker 1: is good at that. I don't love it. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't love not that I do stand up, but
Speaker 1: like you know, like I enjoy an audience's energy. But
Speaker 1: if someone were to like, I've never this actually is true.
Speaker 1: I've never been heckled, and I feel like if I
Speaker 1: ever were to be that would really throw me off. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: but Joel. Joel is just so good at first of all,
Speaker 1: he's just so quick. But second of all, with any
Speaker 1: kind of person, he knows how to just tailored his
Speaker 1: response to things and his line of question. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: would you say to a kind of person that was
Speaker 1: like really tall? Okay? Okay, So imagine they're like seven
Speaker 1: and they start to say loudly to their girlfriend, when's
Speaker 1: the next comic? What would you say that seven foot
Speaker 1: tall person? And that's the only imagine this. I'm I
Speaker 1: am the comic, and Bowen is my girlfriend who's a
Speaker 1: normal height. Okay, you're the comic or you're the guy.
Speaker 1: I'm the guy. I'm the guy. Hey, when's the next comic? Hey? Hey,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on up where you are, buddy,
Speaker 1: but down here we're having a comic. Honestly, yeah, I
Speaker 1: liked it. It made you laugh and so self conscious
Speaker 1: about my height, but in a way that it was inviting.
Speaker 1: You know. I love to go to an absurd place
Speaker 1: as though there's something different happening up up there, up there?
Speaker 1: What am I talking about up there? That is so?
Speaker 1: That is true because truth in comedy, guys, Um, I'm
Speaker 1: really jet lagged, and so I'm not really giving my
Speaker 1: my all right now, Like intellectually, I'm just I know,
Speaker 1: and this is I just want to one up Jewels
Speaker 1: inferiority complex. Um, I don't think I'm really I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm just giving the listeners what they want. And
Speaker 1: I think as a listeners, someone who's been sitting here
Speaker 1: as both a guest and a listener, I can say
Speaker 1: that you're giving me everything I wanted. That's so crazy
Speaker 1: for you to interrupt an amazing moment. No, I want
Speaker 1: to make this about me. Um. I first of all,
Speaker 1: I haven't had time to talk about my trip. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was actually just about to say, let's turn it
Speaker 1: to because I I've come back from Australia before and
Speaker 1: it's tough. I can't believe you're even standing up right now.
Speaker 1: And this is the first time Joel and I have
Speaker 1: seen each other in many, many weeks. And I texted
Speaker 1: do this while I was in New Zealand. I go,
Speaker 1: can I let me see if I can pull up? No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, No pull it up. I want you to.
Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about, getting like a bunch
Speaker 1: of a bunch of bunch of messages on the apps,
Speaker 1: the gay dating and sexual apps to the gay apps,
Speaker 1: and I did not act on any of them. So Yang,
Speaker 1: my sister, if you're listening to this, don't worry. I
Speaker 1: was with my parents the whole time, which I wish
Speaker 1: I would have rather because she probably would have like
Speaker 1: I had a connection. Anyway. Um, no, no, no, it's fine.
Speaker 1: Um what did I text roal Um? But anyway, just
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, people down there are much
Speaker 1: more receptive to Asians on the apps, and it's maybe
Speaker 1: because there's a bunch of them around, because yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's a growing up around It's a growing up
Speaker 1: around them thing. It's like, oh yeah, this is like
Speaker 1: these are most this is like billions of people in
Speaker 1: the world are Asian. I will I will say, I
Speaker 1: think uh re attraction to Asian men or not attraction
Speaker 1: to Asian men. The guys who are attracted to Asian men,
Speaker 1: it's either a reaction to not growing up or not
Speaker 1: experiencing them as a young person and sort of the
Speaker 1: exoticism of us, or it's a chill sort of oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I grew up around Asian people. You're just regular human beings.
Speaker 1: Been as a child exactly. Um I said, OMG, was
Speaker 1: not expecting this, but New Zealand is a Rice queen
Speaker 1: slash Asian paradise for both, like both sides benefit. And
Speaker 1: then Jewel responded, OMG, Australia sort of wise, but maybe
Speaker 1: m Z is better. Um, well, you know NZ New
Speaker 1: Zealand goddess, you know, famously dated that Asian Lord Lord,
Speaker 1: who I've been following around the country, is a great concert.
Speaker 1: I suggest, Oh, yeah, you haven't. You've been to multiple Lord.
Speaker 1: I have been to two Lord concerts this in the
Speaker 1: last three months. How is she live? And she's fantastic life.
Speaker 1: She is still a teenager and that comes out in
Speaker 1: that she likes to over explain the song sometimes, so
Speaker 1: she's like, this is melodrama, this is what it means
Speaker 1: to me, and that's all you're gonna get, and and
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, we get it. But she does cool
Speaker 1: things like I was so concerned about her in Seattle.
Speaker 1: Her shoes were untied on stage and I was like
Speaker 1: screaming at her. I was very close to the stage
Speaker 1: and I was like, your shoes are untied, and she
Speaker 1: looked down notice that her shoes were in tight took
Speaker 1: them off and gave them to a teen girl in
Speaker 1: the audience. You could have saved her life. That girl
Speaker 1: doesn't have shoes on. No it shoes. This is melodrama.
Speaker 1: Your accents are First of all, I just want to
Speaker 1: say I wanted to tweet this out, but I just
Speaker 1: didn't feel like it would bring exclusive content. Um. Everyone.
Speaker 1: You know how people just like default to an Australian
Speaker 1: accent as like a bit um I feel. And I
Speaker 1: just want to say, everyone's nailing it so accurate. Tweet
Speaker 1: that's a funny tweet it. Um, you know what, Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe I will, but I just wanted to workshop it here. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I just I can't believe you
Speaker 1: didn't indulge because I love I love going to the
Speaker 1: West Coast. I love going to the Pacific Northwest. I
Speaker 1: I famously told you Seattle is also a great place.
Speaker 1: Seattle changed the way I looked at my own body. Okay, wait, okay,
Speaker 1: explain this just just because people were because I had
Speaker 1: sex with a literal gymnast and I said, you know what,
Speaker 1: this is what I deserve, and it's ruined me for
Speaker 1: men in New York because now I I I would
Speaker 1: say about six of the men I've had sex within
Speaker 1: over my lifetime I have not been attracted to, and
Speaker 1: I've just had sex with because I felt like it's
Speaker 1: what I deserve in New York specific just no in
Speaker 1: in in my intention, just since I started having sex.
Speaker 1: And now I say no, and I say, I'm going
Speaker 1: to hold out for a fucking Russian gymnast who might
Speaker 1: be trying to pump me for information about the states.
Speaker 1: There you go, But but it was it fun. Yes,
Speaker 1: It's ultimately a scarcity problem though, because like had all
Speaker 1: these had all these messages over there, and then yesterday,
Speaker 1: literally yesterday, as I fly back in, open up my appsolete,
Speaker 1: my traps on overnight, wake up the next morning, nothing
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, yeah, this is what I'm used
Speaker 1: to and it's stupid anyway. Um, but you know, doesn't
Speaker 1: feel great to feel hot though, because that's what it is.
Speaker 1: I had this whole bitgoing where I was like, I'm hot,
Speaker 1: bowing down here, and it actually was because I was
Speaker 1: the apps affect your your self esteem and I should
Speaker 1: get off them, you know. I I bought Tinder goals,
Speaker 1: so did I talk about this? And and the the
Speaker 1: draw is that you get to see who's already swiped
Speaker 1: right on you, And I thought, wow, what I want
Speaker 1: to see that? I want to see who I've been neglecting,
Speaker 1: And it is three men that I am deeply not
Speaker 1: attracted by the way we we we talked about this
Speaker 1: before I left, because I think we both activated this,
Speaker 1: and you were like, not one. You were like you
Speaker 1: asked me like, do you have one conventionally attractive person
Speaker 1: in your likes already? And I was like nope. But
Speaker 1: then down there everybody gorgeous, gorgeous scords everybody, and I
Speaker 1: was like, god, it is such a strange Like the
Speaker 1: then diagram of men that I'm attracted to and who
Speaker 1: are also attracted to me is a very slim margin
Speaker 1: in this city. But it's a regional thing. And that's yeah.
Speaker 1: I honestly I left Seattle being like I should live
Speaker 1: here just for the sake of fucking these gymnasts. I
Speaker 1: will say that I left Sydney being like, I should
Speaker 1: just come back on my own and have like a
Speaker 1: sexual vacation. Yeah, walk about, Yeah, sexual sexual walk about.
Speaker 1: That's the title, sexual love about. Write it down, HPJ.
Speaker 1: The three of us are all very single right now.
Speaker 1: It's officially cuffing season. So guess what, so lonely So
Speaker 1: that's what that was. That's what I realized when I
Speaker 1: flew back in yesterday. I was talking about that before.
Speaker 1: I was watching Edge of seventeen on the plane, which
Speaker 1: some people were saying was like the new means I
Speaker 1: like it. I don't. I heard you say on the
Speaker 1: last part that it was uh maybe, and I don't
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, but we would have been hearing more
Speaker 1: about it if Asian romantic lead. Yes, it was very
Speaker 1: nice and very hot, and also a good depiction I
Speaker 1: think of just being a teenager. They're all terrible and unlikeable,
Speaker 1: and that's very right. And Haley turned out a great performance.
Speaker 1: I prefer Haley as an actor. I wish she would
Speaker 1: just stick to stay in her lane lane. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't it's your people making her do it. I
Speaker 1: don't need her singing heartbeat song or whatever. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's her people. I think she genuinely like after
Speaker 1: she hung out with Taylor Swift one night, was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to go to the v m as every year.
Speaker 1: All of her songs are like everybody's doing blow, but
Speaker 1: I'm I've got my headphones on and I love to myself.
Speaker 1: She sounds like the worst person. I wish she would
Speaker 1: just say I wish she would admit that that is
Speaker 1: about masturbation. She doesn't use it. She actually is refused
Speaker 1: to admit that it's about masturbation, and it's so clearly
Speaker 1: about masturbation, and I wish she would just own that.
Speaker 1: See as okay, And just getting back to Lord. As
Speaker 1: precocious and like Dakoda Fanning esque as she is, she's
Speaker 1: so smart. She's so smart and like on talk shows,
Speaker 1: like she was able to go on the Tonight Show
Speaker 1: and make that an engaging interview with Jim Me. She's
Speaker 1: very articulate. She's very articulate, so charming, so funny, and
Speaker 1: like that was that was right when like it was
Speaker 1: it came out that she had a secret onion ring
Speaker 1: Instagram account where she reviews onion rings, and she was
Speaker 1: just so like perfectly like embarrassed by it, but also like,
Speaker 1: but no, I love onion rings, Like oh wait, you're
Speaker 1: like a cool person. I don't know. I love Lord too.
Speaker 1: And the new album I think there was but but
Speaker 1: people were really listening to it for like a week
Speaker 1: and then they moved on to like fucking I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to album right now and I'm I'm whopping
Speaker 1: it no because listen, she has a song on it
Speaker 1: called Daddy Issues and I got all these daddy issues
Speaker 1: and that's a good joke. Please turn off the spot
Speaker 1: and we can't keep board. I'm going crazy when I'm
Speaker 1: with you. That's classic classic Demi, and that interval is
Speaker 1: classic Demmi. But look such a good hook on that song,
Speaker 1: but it's such an uncomfortable lyric. It is uncomfortable. And actually,
Speaker 1: the other day my Spotify was acting up and for
Speaker 1: some reason the song was gone from the from the
Speaker 1: from the SANCD album and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: someone had a problem with it and she had to
Speaker 1: take it off the album. But then it was just
Speaker 1: my Spotify being a little fun. But you know what,
Speaker 1: I think this is a great opportunity. UM. A couple
Speaker 1: episodes ago, Mike Kelton introduced us to Maggie Rogers uh,
Speaker 1: and then we've been cooked on her. I am hooked
Speaker 1: on her because of that podcast. She's really so and
Speaker 1: I think she listened to either the full episode or
Speaker 1: a snippet of it where we talked about her where
Speaker 1: Calton talked about her. Um, but she's fantastic, Go check
Speaker 1: her out. She tweeted us that she had a giggle
Speaker 1: fit listening to us. Maggie, we love you. And here's
Speaker 1: some other divas that we I want to shout out
Speaker 1: really quickly. Julia Michaels. She has a little ep out
Speaker 1: called Nervous System. She was VMAs and she had right
Speaker 1: where they did the whole like new artist, and they
Speaker 1: cut them off. They cut her off. And you know who,
Speaker 1: angrily tweeted who Adam Levine And I love I stand
Speaker 1: famously for Adam. I love Adam. Are you watching the
Speaker 1: voices here? Of course? And I think Jennifer is such
Speaker 1: a fantastic Jennifer is She's come alive on the voice
Speaker 1: in a way that we've never never seen her, never
Speaker 1: seen the personality like this. I love it, and I
Speaker 1: love her music. I love j hud her last album
Speaker 1: and I just rediscovered it at the airport months ago
Speaker 1: and it was so good. It's still so good. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of good Jennifer Hudson music, such good gems. Um.
Speaker 1: But Julia Michaels, guys, check her out. She's got a
Speaker 1: song called make It Up to You. It's so good.
Speaker 1: And then, um, you know, just just Diva's propping up,
Speaker 1: popping up everywhere, Diva's. I love Diva's. Look guys, Jet Locks,
Speaker 1: so Jet you said you wanted to shout out some
Speaker 1: divas and said, and then because I love you said divas, divas,
Speaker 1: I love divas. Where can we cut that out? No? No,
Speaker 1: something Shakespeare, I love us. That's a real moment for you.
Speaker 1: I this is such a double standard, like I say
Speaker 1: something whatever, what what are you about to say? I
Speaker 1: say something that is just, you know, not a graceful
Speaker 1: sequence of words. And I just you know, for my own,
Speaker 1: for my own as compared to who as compared to
Speaker 1: you and you that's because I land you have to
Speaker 1: such a classic dynamic, I said, I I texted you
Speaker 1: early in your podcasting career, as I said, you two
Speaker 1: are the Mary and Martha. And then I thought it
Speaker 1: was like a biblical record. I don't know, no. First
Speaker 1: I thought it was like a like a radio, like
Speaker 1: a talk radio. I thought it was Mary Taller Moore
Speaker 1: and some lady named Martha. It's from the fucking Bible.
Speaker 1: Can you talk to us because you are of course
Speaker 1: a Bible Mary and Martha, this this famous story of
Speaker 1: Jesus was going to go to Mary and Martha's house.
Speaker 1: And Martha, she's just the lady, she's just abroad and
Speaker 1: um and I will get the mixed up because it
Speaker 1: has been a while, but I believe Mary is like,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna chill and I'm going to talk to him.
Speaker 1: To Jesus, this is fun. And Martha's like, no, we
Speaker 1: gotta get the house ready, we gotta like prepare. This
Speaker 1: is a celebrity. This is a person I want to make.
Speaker 1: I want to make this an event. I don't want
Speaker 1: this to just be us sitting around and talking out
Speaker 1: of our assholes. No, this is a different Mary there.
Speaker 1: And not even to Mary the mother. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is completely unrelated. Third and so and and then
Speaker 1: Jesus is like, Martha, actually, marry your girl. Mary had
Speaker 1: it right, you should, just you should. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't care about the place settings. I want to
Speaker 1: talk to you. Wow. So I was right. Well, and
Speaker 1: that's where the the the comparison goes awry, I think,
Speaker 1: but I think I don't think so. I think it's
Speaker 1: good because Bbe tells me, so, oh no. In the end, um, okay, so,
Speaker 1: and I misquoted Joel later on by saying that Joel
Speaker 1: called Matt the bull in the China shop, and I
Speaker 1: was the shop keep, which is again I think a
Speaker 1: fair because I think Matt, just like Greeks, we are
Speaker 1: a song of ice and fire, and Joel will have
Speaker 1: to decide, and I'm going to be very fair. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that. But see, I don't know if
Speaker 1: that is possible anymore, because you, because you've sabbathe self,
Speaker 1: sabotaged your own team, are your decisions now. If he's
Speaker 1: going to be unbiased, it's gonna be because of things
Speaker 1: that you didn't think prior to the show, which is
Speaker 1: on November seven, the day after my birthday. I don't
Speaker 1: care about that, and neither does anyone. Let's just say that, um,
Speaker 1: nine year older, okay. So, I don't think anything prior
Speaker 1: to the show should be take it into account in
Speaker 1: the judging. That's all. I don't think. I won't be.
Speaker 1: Don't worry it won't be. But it seems like it
Speaker 1: seems like, don't worry about it. Waters don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: It won't be, you know. I just can't imagine being
Speaker 1: you don't bring shit into my room if you don't
Speaker 1: want me to put it on my bed. Thank you.
Speaker 1: That was very rodgy and very ragy. And don't bring
Speaker 1: sh it into my room if you don't think I'm
Speaker 1: going to put it on my bed. Just these senseless aphorisms.
Speaker 1: But can you can you refute it? Can you? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: give me give me a second, Give me a second.
Speaker 1: This is a podcast. Do you think people want to
Speaker 1: hear dead air while if you think if you don't
Speaker 1: want me to bring shit into your room, no, you
Speaker 1: better house trained me because I am a dog. What
Speaker 1: that makes sense? No, it does. I'm I'm so talking
Speaker 1: about nonsense. I don't know. Well, I'm gonna say, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say to say all I'm gonna say November seven,
Speaker 1: at eight thirty on the stage of Villain, I will
Speaker 1: be thrashing in the waters. But how much how involved
Speaker 1: are you in these? Aren't I judging Pat Reagan and
Speaker 1: Chris Shackle Yes? Absolutely, I think that we're just going
Speaker 1: to be truly merely figureheads for our team. Perhaps there
Speaker 1: will be and I don't think so, Honey, up top
Speaker 1: between us to find out who's team will go first
Speaker 1: or second. I would love some behind the scenes coaching,
Speaker 1: you know, if what if you could do the production
Speaker 1: values up it a little bit, maybe I will be
Speaker 1: working with my girls. I will be working with my girls,
Speaker 1: and I will be working with my um mix of genders,
Speaker 1: not even just two. So um, I wow, that seems like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you just like really gendered it, and
Speaker 1: so you sort of brought that to you, sort of
Speaker 1: drew first blood. Everyone is my girls. Okay, Well I
Speaker 1: just want to say that how Actually, now I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be pre I'm gonna come in this anti
Speaker 1: Matt instead of antill. I mean to be fair. I
Speaker 1: like I said, nothing should be taken into account before
Speaker 1: the show. But this is just sure and this is
Speaker 1: just indicative of Matt's um the tenor of the conversation
Speaker 1: that Matt sets, And so I just want people to
Speaker 1: be very aware of that I'm playing by the rules here,
Speaker 1: that I'm bringing in a team UM that is very
Speaker 1: very very um polished in tame and will not resort
Speaker 1: to low kicks. You go high, I go high, and
Speaker 1: um I do. This is what I meant to talk
Speaker 1: about earlier the three of us are all very lonely.
Speaker 1: The crispness in the air makes me want companionship. So
Speaker 1: I want us to make a pact on the record
Speaker 1: if nobody gets a boyfriend, if we all don't get boyfriend,
Speaker 1: there you go, and it's self fulfilling, but it still works.
Speaker 1: Are you pointing to me, I'm not pointing. I'm pointing
Speaker 1: at the Royal Air, the Royal We Okay, so the
Speaker 1: Royal Air now. Um, I know I'll never love again.
Speaker 1: I know I'm never love this away again. So fucky, Joe,
Speaker 1: you gotta turn off the royalties on this episode. Turn
Speaker 1: off this Julia Michael's track. Okay, I think it's time.
Speaker 1: I think it's time for I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: And this is our first two last time. I feel
Speaker 1: like this is my first true I don't think because
Speaker 1: last time you made me come for a fucking city.
Speaker 1: We did locations, and you know, because famously you were
Speaker 1: going to move to l A. That was when that
Speaker 1: was happening. Oh my god. We had just the most
Speaker 1: basic conversation about the differences between l A and I
Speaker 1: had to come for St. Louis, And since then, I
Speaker 1: have traveled the nation and I would say what I
Speaker 1: would say, Phoenix is maybe the worst place. Okay, cool, well, Um,
Speaker 1: A lot of friends who went to a s U
Speaker 1: who are not friends but high school classmates who went
Speaker 1: the trash, the trash. This is gonna be bowen yangs.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Because he said he had one well,
Speaker 1: no that was that was during the break when these
Speaker 1: girls were being loud across the hall. Um. But I
Speaker 1: want to make okay, um, alright, alright, yeah, okay, Bowen yangs.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. In this time starts, I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey. British Commonwealth countries where you drive
Speaker 1: on the left side of the fucking road and the
Speaker 1: right side of the fucking car, bitch, do not turn
Speaker 1: my world, not upside down but inverted, inverted. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. We I almost got into many car crashes.
Speaker 1: I didn't do any of the driving. That was all
Speaker 1: my brother in law. God, bless you, Brian, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. I should say, um, I don't and I
Speaker 1: bless you. I don't know he's Jewish. I'm not Jewish,
Speaker 1: but I'm a mention. Um, I'm a boy mention. And
Speaker 1: my sister's Jewish now and I feel I know some
Speaker 1: of the culture but not all of it. So please
Speaker 1: forgive me as this is a learning curve for me.
Speaker 1: I just want to turn this I don't think so
Speaker 1: honey around and just really talk about, um my spiritual journey, um,
Speaker 1: and how I want to believe in God but I
Speaker 1: don't know how to go about that. And UM, I'm
Speaker 1: really glad and grateful that Australia was able and the
Speaker 1: and the driving on the side of the road sort
Speaker 1: of led me to this place. Spiritually. I for religion. Um,
Speaker 1: if it's a cult, fine, that's a bonus. It's more,
Speaker 1: it's more organized, it's more struct what happened, I'm jet lued,
Speaker 1: I swear to God and English is not my first language.
Speaker 1: Need I remind you? So? Um, you know that was
Speaker 1: crazy fast and furious. So I'm coming off less than
Speaker 1: twenty I will say, as a fellow traveler who's come
Speaker 1: back from US Jelia, it is the worst jet like
Speaker 1: you can I felt insane for a week. I get
Speaker 1: ready buckle up, no damn it. And so I'm our listeners.
Speaker 1: Oh and you know what, you know, it was so
Speaker 1: nice and this isn't me just like tuting the podcast
Speaker 1: torn or anything, but went to New Zealand and fucking
Speaker 1: like a bunch of people came in with recommendations of
Speaker 1: where to go. We have a lot of Kiwi listeners.
Speaker 1: Hello everybody. Um, we have some Austy listeners tooose some
Speaker 1: great people just giving me recommendations. International turn up, international
Speaker 1: smile Katy Perry and um, you know what, uh shout
Speaker 1: out to um Anthony in Brisbane, my my birth city.
Speaker 1: He gave me so many great recommendations. He told me
Speaker 1: to go to the Lone Pine Koala, SAYINGC. Sherary, where
Speaker 1: Beyonce rolls every time she's in Australia, where all the
Speaker 1: drag queens from drag Race go when they're in Australia,
Speaker 1: to hold the koalas. And it was such a life
Speaker 1: changing experience. Koalas and my new favorite animal. And um,
Speaker 1: I do think so hony koalas and kangaroos. Oh I
Speaker 1: don't think so hony kangaroos, but that's for another one.
Speaker 1: That's for another episode. Kangaroos they're dirty, they're the deer
Speaker 1: of us, the deer of austra They're just so common.
Speaker 1: People don't give a shit about the kangaroos and just
Speaker 1: go up and shoot them because you know why they're
Speaker 1: they're overpopulated. And then if you don't think I like
Speaker 1: three vaginas too, something like that. But if you don't
Speaker 1: care this our tour guy was saying, if you don't,
Speaker 1: don't they got like three vaginas to turn off the
Speaker 1: Spotify Joe Um, our tour guy was telling us if
Speaker 1: if if they don't population control the kangaroos and straight
Speaker 1: up shooting the face squirrels, like, the populations will fucking
Speaker 1: disrupt the food chain and then they'll go extick. It
Speaker 1: actually makes them more extinct to let their populations go
Speaker 1: and check. So they have to control the populations. Um
Speaker 1: and um. Those are these are solid tongue clicks. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Matt, it's your turn. This is Matt Rodgers
Speaker 1: is I don't think so, honey. Hopefully his will be
Speaker 1: more cohesive than mine. His time starts now. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. Koala bears, you know, bit just trying
Speaker 1: to take my place. I see you in the arms
Speaker 1: of my man. Get the funk out of here, Willa bears.
Speaker 1: You I think you're so cute, little bitch. You can't
Speaker 1: funk with Bowen because let me tell you something. I
Speaker 1: saw the look at his eyes and the glow in
Speaker 1: his face, and I've seen that look before. It was
Speaker 1: the first time he looked at me. He saw me
Speaker 1: at the Sketch comedy show in college and I was
Speaker 1: his Koala then. And all you stupid bears, you little bears,
Speaker 1: Marsupial ass bitch, get out of here. Marsupial is a
Speaker 1: made up genus. Let me tell you something, Koala bears,
Speaker 1: you're so good. Why don't you live in another continent?
Speaker 1: You can't make it across the ocean. Guess what, bitch,
Speaker 1: you are low in the food chain. If I ever
Speaker 1: see you, I'll kill you. I don't care that you live.
Speaker 1: I'm a human being and I stand atop the chain
Speaker 1: and I spit and everyone below me and dare you?
Speaker 1: This is is the one thing that's made me happy.
Speaker 1: I love you, and you only belong to me, and
Speaker 1: I'm your only friends. You don't have Koala friends. That's that.
Speaker 1: So they don't know enough to love you back. I
Speaker 1: didn't they let me tell you something? Animal? You were
Speaker 1: holding that Koala. I didn't grow up with a favorite an.
Speaker 1: You're back here now, and this is your reality me.
Speaker 1: There's no koalas you have me and I went, and
Speaker 1: now you know where you are actually crying so emotional.
Speaker 1: They don't exist really to you. They're not part of
Speaker 1: your world. I am no, I'm your favorite animal, my jailer.
Speaker 1: This is like I feel like I'm watching something deeply
Speaker 1: upsetting transpire. This is the power as time starts now,
Speaker 1: I don't think so honey, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers.
