Speaker 1: Look man, oh I see you? Why why and look
Speaker 1: over there? How is that culture? Yes? Goodness ding dong
Speaker 1: last culture. Well, here's the thing, y'all are probably feeling
Speaker 1: some type of way, either positive or negative right now.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you agree, Bowen? I would agree because this is
Speaker 1: a fun little time capsule. This is maybe one of
Speaker 1: the last pieces of recorded media pre general election. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we are recording this on Monday, November two. Tomorrow is Tuesday,
Speaker 1: November three, That is election day. And we don't know
Speaker 1: how everything shook out. Um we are. Things are probably
Speaker 1: maybe even shaking out still, yeah, currently, and um, we're
Speaker 1: all in it together. We hope we're feeling good right
Speaker 1: now in the future, but if we're not, um, you're
Speaker 1: in luck because nothing about this podcast going forward will
Speaker 1: be about the election. This is a quote unquote safe space,
Speaker 1: as I believe, um, white women call them. What you
Speaker 1: said that we have to touch on some current events
Speaker 1: before we get going on the mission of today's episode.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Yeah, well, two things. Um.
Speaker 1: One is Ariana Grand's positions, which I feel like Initially
Speaker 1: my idea for the episode and my pitch to Bowen
Speaker 1: was why don't we deep dive on positions and I
Speaker 1: received the following response from Bowen, m letting me think
Speaker 1: what about and then he kind of so it was
Speaker 1: clear that he didn't want to do that. But I
Speaker 1: do want to know your thoughts on the Albu. I
Speaker 1: think it's a fine album. I think it's great, only fine.
Speaker 1: I think I listened to it the first time and
Speaker 1: I was really enjoying and satisfied, But then there was
Speaker 1: something like it wasn't sticking in certain like there's certain
Speaker 1: tracks that I really enjoyed that I was like, what
Speaker 1: is it? And then I don't. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: want this to be a thing where I'm informed by
Speaker 1: the critical response of something. But I do feel like
Speaker 1: the thing that is that was articulated by some writers
Speaker 1: was that, um, it's it's safe for Ari, but she's
Speaker 1: like she is fully within her power to release this
Speaker 1: kind of album, which I love. That it's like a
Speaker 1: horny vibe the entire time, and it's and it's sustained
Speaker 1: the entire time. I don't feel it's safe. I guess
Speaker 1: I'm I'm on the other the other end of this.
Speaker 1: I think like the criticism I'm hearing is that there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of quote unquote growth, But for me,
Speaker 1: it's like there's a lot of lyrical growth. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think this is the funniest she's been. I think
Speaker 1: this is the hornyest and sexiest she's been. And I
Speaker 1: also think, like, um, you know, I feel like it's
Speaker 1: the most fun she's had in a while. If the
Speaker 1: album has weak spots, for me, it's in the collapse.
Speaker 1: I actually think the just Ariana songs are better, and
Speaker 1: I actually think that the album really picks up in
Speaker 1: the second half, like all my favorite tracks are in
Speaker 1: the second half of the album. But I love this
Speaker 1: album and it really kind of is a throwback to me.
Speaker 1: Um to like late nineties R and B, like like
Speaker 1: early too early at R and B, and I like
Speaker 1: R and B pop from that time, and I really
Speaker 1: like it. Um But it's weird, like the response to
Speaker 1: this has not in as emphatic as I think it were.
Speaker 1: It was for Sweetener and Thank You Next, which I
Speaker 1: think are great, but not as good as this one.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, I listened to Thank You Next again,
Speaker 1: and I remember kind of being lukewarm on it when
Speaker 1: it first came out, But I listened back to it Now,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, there are some like classic songs on
Speaker 1: this Yeah, I mean, for sure it's a great album.
Speaker 1: I just think, like for me, I was pretty done
Speaker 1: for when she said I have have a drinking coffee like
Speaker 1: you love the lyric I keep it squeaky. Oh you
Speaker 1: know I keep it squeaky, And I would like to
Speaker 1: think I keep it squeaky. I'm sure you do. But look,
Speaker 1: I feel like Positions as an album, will it developed
Speaker 1: the patina over time that like Thank You Next has sweetener?
Speaker 1: I feel like has An aged that well? But Thank
Speaker 1: You Next, I think has aged wonderfully. I feel like
Speaker 1: Positions is sort of at the same frequency for most
Speaker 1: of the album, and that's why I'm like, will it
Speaker 1: when we look back on it and be like, wow,
Speaker 1: one of Ari's best works? But I came on the
Speaker 1: thread and said, wow, this is her best album since
Speaker 1: Dangerous Woman, which I take back now. Unfortunately, it's so
Speaker 1: funny because usually it takes me a while to warm
Speaker 1: up to Ariana Grande albums because I am looking for
Speaker 1: like that bop right off the bat, and even when
Speaker 1: Position of the song came out, I was like, okay, cool, yeah,
Speaker 1: interested to hear the rest of the album, and now
Speaker 1: I like Positions more. Every single time I listen to Positions,
Speaker 1: I like it more and more and more. It's so
Speaker 1: it's having an interesting, uh relationship to this album because
Speaker 1: I love it so much, sooner than I usually love
Speaker 1: ari What are you are? Are you swatting at something?
Speaker 1: I was cleaning the weed that I just put in
Speaker 1: my bowl off the table and Ariana's album remind it's
Speaker 1: a really good smoke and fuck album. Uh. So, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, maybe you're not enjoying it now, but wait
Speaker 1: till you get your How do we say this, dick
Speaker 1: hard vagina wit? Um? You know anything anything you've got
Speaker 1: going on ready for sexual activity, and you've had you've
Speaker 1: you've had this experience yourself. Cannot confirm her deny? Um
Speaker 1: can I confirm her deny? But I'm just saying I
Speaker 1: knew from the jump that this was going to be
Speaker 1: that kind of record, and we are very excited about it,
Speaker 1: and this I'm less excited about something else. And this
Speaker 1: is a fucking bummer. Oh no, what is this? I'm
Speaker 1: so sad about the passing of Nicky McKibbin. I mean,
Speaker 1: she for everyone that doesn't know was the third place
Speaker 1: contestant on the very first season of American Idol. She
Speaker 1: kind of was like the original redheaded rocker of that show,
Speaker 1: which kind of went through many many iterations of her.
Speaker 1: So she really was a type on that show that
Speaker 1: remained for many years, and she kind of was famous
Speaker 1: for um kind of overstaying her welcome on the show.
Speaker 1: She kind of beat out some I guess more iconic contestants,
Speaker 1: like to Myra Gray, and she was like the first,
Speaker 1: like how are they still on contestant? But I will
Speaker 1: say this, looking back at her old performances, she actually
Speaker 1: had a cool voice and a and a cool vibe.
Speaker 1: She just was doing something different than everyone else was
Speaker 1: at the time because the show at the time was
Speaker 1: kind of very much focused on finding uh in female
Speaker 1: singers like the next Celine Dion, Like it was very
Speaker 1: much the era of the extended belt. You know, the
Speaker 1: highest note would be the best singer quote unquote, and
Speaker 1: she um was doing something different. She had she had
Speaker 1: like a rock vocal, and she seemed like an unruly presence.
Speaker 1: She definitely had stage charisma and uh maybe go check
Speaker 1: out some some of her old performances such as I'm
Speaker 1: the only One by Melissa Ethridge and Mary Jane by
Speaker 1: a lot of Moore Set and Black Velvet by a
Speaker 1: lot of Miles. I mean, it's the first time I
Speaker 1: had ever heard the song Black Velvet and uh I
Speaker 1: love that day. Yeah, So I was she passed away
Speaker 1: of an aneurism at age forty two and so rest
Speaker 1: in peace. That's very tragic. And I know that she
Speaker 1: kind of had a rough go of things over the
Speaker 1: past decade and a half or so, so very bummed
Speaker 1: about that. But she left she left such a such
Speaker 1: a meaningful mark on um are sort of musical knowledge,
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't have had like an entry point into
Speaker 1: like that kind of female rock vocal hadn't up in
Speaker 1: for her. Yeah, I think that that was the first
Speaker 1: time I heard Black Velvet two. Yeah, And you know,
Speaker 1: it's so it's so interesting because I actually credit like
Speaker 1: um a knowledge of music that I have to American
Speaker 1: idol because you know, and I think this is kind
Speaker 1: of maybe true for many of our contemporaries and people
Speaker 1: that are our age, Like I don't know if I
Speaker 1: would have known so much motown had you know, which
Speaker 1: felt cool. I didn't know who Gladys Knight was until
Speaker 1: she showed up as a guest judge in season two
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, I've heard that
Speaker 1: Midnight Trained George a song before, and that's the Women,
Speaker 1: and she has all these other songs like and who
Speaker 1: were the like the Pips, and like it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: American idol, I think was really really actually solid prim
Speaker 1: or prime or whatever on American music. And speaking of which,
Speaker 1: how's this first seg I mean, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: aroused to want to put on positions. She'd be proud
Speaker 1: of what we're doing today. She'd be proud of a
Speaker 1: couple of things are going on. This is the end
Speaker 1: of our Matt and Bow and Get High trilogy, I
Speaker 1: would say. And it's not to say that we won't
Speaker 1: do it again in the future, but I think as
Speaker 1: a serialized event, this is the third and final consecutive
Speaker 1: episode where it's just me and Matt, no guest and
Speaker 1: we Get High. Um, there's that. But then maybe, as
Speaker 1: you've been able to tell from the title of this episode,
Speaker 1: this is we are going to undertake something I think
Speaker 1: very ambitious. Matt, what do you do you want to
Speaker 1: how do you want to explain this? Well, so basically
Speaker 1: a lot of times. Actually, after we talk about music,
Speaker 1: some people will get in the d M s and
Speaker 1: be like, y'all need to make a playlist like a
Speaker 1: last culture Es playlist. Um, where we've talked about so
Speaker 1: much music and people want one place to find it all.
Speaker 1: So we actually are kind of free form gonna put
Speaker 1: together a playlist right now called Matt and Bowen's Infinite
Speaker 1: Playlist the New Standards, And this is gonna be a
Speaker 1: public playlist that anyone one can you know, sign on
Speaker 1: up for. And um, I think this is going to
Speaker 1: end up in chaos, no doubt. But it's a collaborative
Speaker 1: at for all of our listeners to contribute to. But
Speaker 1: these are going to be these songs that are as
Speaker 1: you've heard, not say the New Standards, the songs that
Speaker 1: go into the New American Song Book. Is that correct? Yes?
Speaker 1: So Hans is asking ahead of content. Hans is asking Bowen,
Speaker 1: are you making a custom cover for this playlist? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I am you know bow and Yang be making custom covers.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Hans, and Hans says owengy they're so good,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Hans. This one will be this one will
Speaker 1: be fun. I love whenever Bow and Yang gets customed. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what is the mission here, Matt. Let's let's drill
Speaker 1: down deeper into the mission before we let's get our
Speaker 1: point of view very clear and solid for us and
Speaker 1: for the listener, for the reader, before we start to
Speaker 1: add to this playlist. This is very exciting. I feel
Speaker 1: very I feel anticipation. Oh yeah, I mean I would
Speaker 1: say that our goal for the playlists is for it
Speaker 1: to be the best playlists of all time, obviously, and
Speaker 1: to make every one happy that listens to it. No
Speaker 1: one will have any criticism of it. That's one of
Speaker 1: our goals. It's lofty goal, but I think we can
Speaker 1: do it. And I would love for every single artist
Speaker 1: that we shout out on this playlist to reach out
Speaker 1: to us with praise. And so I would say that
Speaker 1: those are sort of the the goals, hashtag goals I believe.
Speaker 1: As white women say, um of the podcast, what would
Speaker 1: you say abouten, I would say I would agree with
Speaker 1: all of those points, and I would just also want
Speaker 1: to maybe put out there the again lofty goal of
Speaker 1: having almost every single artist musical artist that has ever
Speaker 1: lived represented on this playlist. Yeah, and I also just
Speaker 1: want to just preface right now this is not going
Speaker 1: to be like a quote cool playlist. We don't care.
Speaker 1: I'm not there's not going to be like any Grimes
Speaker 1: on this, you understand, like, oh, yes, is Grimes cool?
Speaker 1: Is that a good example? I think Grimes is cool?
Speaker 1: Maybe I mean Grimes Grimes is politics would endanger the
Speaker 1: lives of a lot of the people listening to this.
Speaker 1: Perhaps is she certain endangering my life by by being
Speaker 1: married to to that man? Ellen? Are they not married?
Speaker 1: Are there? I don't even know. Yeah, it's really culture
Speaker 1: number eleven. That's true. And you know what else is true? Um,
Speaker 1: Hans is telling me to do this, and I and
Speaker 1: thank you Hans. Where we have to tell you the
Speaker 1: reader where and how you can find the playlist before
Speaker 1: we start, and that is it's going to be a public,
Speaker 1: collaborative Spotify playlist. We will do our best to refresh
Speaker 1: it and um, I will convert it to an Apple
Speaker 1: Music playlist as well, but it might not be a
Speaker 1: real time, it might not track the additions um as well.
Speaker 1: But we will give you the initial starter pack starter
Speaker 1: deck of songs in the playlist on Apple Music, and
Speaker 1: I will try to periodically update it. But you know,
Speaker 1: if we're opening this playlist up to our many listeners,
Speaker 1: and we love you very much. You know, things might
Speaker 1: get a little bloated, wouldn't you say? I have to say,
Speaker 1: I actually hate this idea and don't think it should
Speaker 1: be collaborator of Well, then you put it out there.
Speaker 1: I mean I was I thought it was just gonna
Speaker 1: be me and you, But now you're you were the
Speaker 1: one who would open the door say that. Did I
Speaker 1: say that? Yes? You did? You absolutely did. No, Well,
Speaker 1: I take it back. I don't think that any oh
Speaker 1: should be able to come along and add a thing.
Speaker 1: I think this is collaborative and that me and you
Speaker 1: are collaborating. Oh okay, honey, I don't trust them. I
Speaker 1: love them. I have an idea. I have an idea.
Speaker 1: I have an idea what there's gonna be this playlist
Speaker 1: and then there's going to be that is not collaborative.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to start another playlist that are audition songs,
Speaker 1: that are songs that you want to throw in the
Speaker 1: running to be on the playlist. That's cool, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna be duplicate song adds. But I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna filter it so that I see whatever whatever has
Speaker 1: whatever songs have the most contributions, hits whatever, those will
Speaker 1: be potentially in the running to be added into the songbook. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be called Lost Cultures this um infinite playlist, Colin,
Speaker 1: go ahead, give it a shot. Dot dot That's when
Speaker 1: that's gonna be called. Go ahead, give it a shot.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, you know, you like the kids
Speaker 1: try and then you see you see. So I'm very
Speaker 1: excited for this, Matt, we have now them in Oh
Speaker 1: oh thrilled, Oh thrilled. We have not really come in
Speaker 1: with um are sort of pre pre biased or or
Speaker 1: or inherent biases musically, although Matt did come in hot
Speaker 1: on this zoom and said, why is Hayley Steinfeld the
Speaker 1: queen of pop? The way Hayley Steinfeld is the queen
Speaker 1: of pop? So first of all, it has to be said,
Speaker 1: Hayley Steinfeld is kind of a queen of pop. And
Speaker 1: we actually have an apology to make. We have a
Speaker 1: sincere apology to make. We this actually happened a few
Speaker 1: years ago. We got on this podcast actually was a
Speaker 1: live podcast saving we were doing at the Bellhouse. I
Speaker 1: don't remember the date. I'm gonna say like probably around
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't remember exactly, but maybe it
Speaker 1: was our third I don't think so, honey live. But anyway,
Speaker 1: we got on the mike real hot, and sometimes when
Speaker 1: we're in a live setting we do Matt and Bowen.
Speaker 1: They get a little carried away the Lost culturestas and
Speaker 1: they sort of say things that are crazy. Um, and
Speaker 1: it ends up in a recorded episode of Lost Cultureistas.
Speaker 1: But what we had said on this episode was that
Speaker 1: Hailey Steinfeld was a Trump voter. That we had a
Speaker 1: well placed source that said Haley Steinfeld quote couldn't stop
Speaker 1: talking about Trump on the set of Pitch Perfect too.
Speaker 1: We have been sort of reached out to by some
Speaker 1: Haley fans who's have sort of given the receipts that
Speaker 1: this is not true, and so we have to retract this.
Speaker 1: Haley Steinfeld is not a Trump voter, but she is
Speaker 1: a queen of pop. We're so we just want to
Speaker 1: I just want to apologize again on my own behalf
Speaker 1: and our behalf as a as a duo. Um, we
Speaker 1: were so sorry. We're so emotional harm this may have
Speaker 1: caused to Haley or her fans. Um, we love her,
Speaker 1: We love her very much, and damning labels can really
Speaker 1: hurt people, and so we have to sort of retract
Speaker 1: that and say that Haley Steinfeld is not, we're gonna say,
Speaker 1: not a Trump voter. But she is on the list.
Speaker 1: She's on the playlist with the song love Myself. She's
Speaker 1: on the playlist with the song love Myself. This this
Speaker 1: song famously did not make the top two list of Culture,
Speaker 1: but this is different, and she Loved Myself is on
Speaker 1: the playlist. You would think that it might be too
Speaker 1: early to add another Hailey Steinfeld song, but I really
Speaker 1: really love rock Bottom very very much. Um, so I'm
Speaker 1: going to add that as well. Rock Bottom is on
Speaker 1: the list. We're on the red side of rock. And
Speaker 1: here's here's the thing, um about Haley. You actually are
Speaker 1: thinking that it might be too early to add another
Speaker 1: Hailey song to the list. You might be thinking it's
Speaker 1: not too early, because what actually goes on the list
Speaker 1: is the song I Love Us, which samples no More
Speaker 1: I Love used by Annie Lennox, and I like that,
Speaker 1: and so it's on the list. And so we've got
Speaker 1: three Hailey Steinfeld songs, which makes her not only the
Speaker 1: reigning champion of the list. And we forgot to say this,
Speaker 1: but there will be a Champion of the list at
Speaker 1: the end. But she's also now in the Rock and
Speaker 1: Roll Hall of Fame. So congratulations to Haley. She's the
Speaker 1: Queen of Pop, and she's the Queen of Pop and
Speaker 1: and and an inductee in the and the Rock and
Speaker 1: Roll Hall of Fame and the Champion of the list
Speaker 1: so far. So she's already got three titles. And to
Speaker 1: to know that in this moment she's the current reigning
Speaker 1: queen of Pop is really huge. So congratulations to Haley Steinfeld. Um. Now,
Speaker 1: I actually I'm immediately sort of pulled in a certain direction.
Speaker 1: But what are you thinking? Because it's your turn to
Speaker 1: add something? Okay, So my turn to add something now,
Speaker 1: and this is of course the new Okay. Can we
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this. Their new standards. It's
Speaker 1: not the new American song, but because that feels very
Speaker 1: that feels that feels wrong to me. It should be
Speaker 1: new standards, new songs that everyone should know and it
Speaker 1: should define our generation. Absolutely, So every song here defines
Speaker 1: a generation, which and I know it is your your turn,
Speaker 1: but because you use this example, can I just shout
Speaker 1: out one thing? Yeah, what I want to put in
Speaker 1: a song, though, go put it in a song, then, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm putting in a song. It's by one of my
Speaker 1: favorite artists. I truly do, genuinely, genuinely think is a
Speaker 1: is a generation defining artist. Charlie xc X Room Room,
Speaker 1: Charlie xc X, room room. And it's actually so funny
Speaker 1: that you say that, because you some people might think
Speaker 1: it's too soon to add another Charlie song to the list,
Speaker 1: but actually we just we just checked in and it's
Speaker 1: actually not too soon, and that's why we're adding I
Speaker 1: don't want to know by Charlie xc X to god,
Speaker 1: I mean Fleetwood Mac who I don't want to know
Speaker 1: Fleetwood Max song called I don't want to know. I
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to know that. I
Speaker 1: don't want to know that. Are you adding it to
Speaker 1: the I'm not refreshing the playlists I'm adding, so I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I just got so excited that you how to do it.
Speaker 1: At my time, I have to be able to keep up,
Speaker 1: I have to be able to watch these come in live.
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. And so there we have
Speaker 1: literally making a run for champion of the list. Charlie
Speaker 1: x X with two Haley Steinfeld with three. So we
Speaker 1: have a sort of tight race on our hands right now.
Speaker 1: And um, we didn't even know it was also a
Speaker 1: competition in this way, but all of a sudden it
Speaker 1: suddenly has become that, you know what I mean, it
Speaker 1: suddenly has um, is it my turn? It actually is
Speaker 1: your turn, because I just got so excited about my turn,
Speaker 1: and to think I still have this standard on the
Speaker 1: back burner. But you go ahead and go, I'm going
Speaker 1: to add and so far we've only added white women,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to keep that trend going, as white
Speaker 1: women say, as women's way, let's let's keep that trend going.
Speaker 1: Is actually let's actually the white women say that, and
Speaker 1: they do say that I am going to add a
Speaker 1: white woman played by another white woman. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of metaphysical stuff going on here. This is actually, oh
Speaker 1: on a role, actually on a roll. Yes, actually that
Speaker 1: belongs um as a new standard. That is a new standard.
Speaker 1: And if you ever see a gay man um that
Speaker 1: here's on a roll come out into public space. The
Speaker 1: poppers come out quicker than he did in his life,
Speaker 1: That's for sure. It took years to come out of
Speaker 1: the closet, but it takes seconds for the poppers to
Speaker 1: come out of the uh nap knapsack Fannie pack and
Speaker 1: right onto the noses of many gay Americans worldwide when
Speaker 1: on a Roll comes on, this younger generation of new
Speaker 1: queers coming up, I mean, they really have it. Um
Speaker 1: not easier, but they they're they're able to arrive at
Speaker 1: some sort of realization much more quickly with the help
Speaker 1: of a song like on a Roll by Ashley Oh.
Speaker 1: They hear it, they go, I have to come out
Speaker 1: as whatever my queerness is, yes, and as the pappers
Speaker 1: as well. And you know, I would also say the
Speaker 1: thing about Ashley Oh is this is crazy. Actually Miley Cyrus,
Speaker 1: I didn't know who was playing her until oh my god,
Speaker 1: very until you just said it. Yeah, it's a mile man.
Speaker 1: Let me say that she really transformed on that one,
Speaker 1: which is funny because she was famously on a show
Speaker 1: where she transformed and sort of flip flop between you know,
Speaker 1: Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus, who she really is. Yes,
Speaker 1: so we see her sort of revisiting that theme and
Speaker 1: the song on her roll. I'm getting word Matt that
Speaker 1: it is actually too early to include another Ashley Oh song,
Speaker 1: of which there are only there's only one, so um
Speaker 1: that exists at least in Spotify, maybe the Black Mirror
Speaker 1: Universe or many more. I would imagine that Ashley always
Speaker 1: built a career off of many hit songs, not just two.
Speaker 1: So I am getting word that it's too early to
Speaker 1: include another Ashley Oh song. So I'm sorry you are
Speaker 1: not allowed to include another Ashley song. That's fine because
Speaker 1: I actually wasn't going to add an Ashley Oh song
Speaker 1: at this time, or a Miley Cyrus song, So even
Speaker 1: an alter ego isn't getting one, and I'm certainly not
Speaker 1: going to add any hand I'm on tanis on the
Speaker 1: list because we actually can announce at this time no
Speaker 1: handam Antana songs will be on the playlist. That's actually
Speaker 1: we're just not actually really controversial because songs like um,
Speaker 1: see You Again, I mean, that's that's it should be
Speaker 1: a new a new standard. But the thing is, isn't
Speaker 1: that a Miley song doesn't see You Again count as
Speaker 1: Miley and not Hannah. But I think if you go, like, look,
Speaker 1: if we were to look up Montana, look at she
Speaker 1: gets her own listings. Yeah, okay, see You Again, it's
Speaker 1: technically a Miley song. You're right, so, but but that's
Speaker 1: what's not being added. It's not at this time, at
Speaker 1: this because it it is my turn and at this
Speaker 1: time I I kind of threw the word theme out there.
Speaker 1: I said, the theme of switching between two different identities,
Speaker 1: or as some white women who get a little spiritual
Speaker 1: call it duality. Um say that. Yeah. So, speaking of themes,
Speaker 1: the next song that will be added to the list
Speaker 1: of New Standards is the theme from Jurassic Park. The
Speaker 1: theme from Jurassic Park is now um on the mantain
Speaker 1: Bone Infinite Playlists. The New Standards talk about this, talk
Speaker 1: about this theme? Who wrote it? What? What movie was
Speaker 1: it for? What? What is the movie about? Well, it
Speaker 1: was actually for the film Jurassic Park, and it was
Speaker 1: written by John Williams, who is you know, uh composer
Speaker 1: who sort of sat down and thought, okay, so let
Speaker 1: me get the majesty and sort of um, you know,
Speaker 1: grandeur of Jurassic Park down, and also you know, the
Speaker 1: sort of call you here in the beginning, the who
Speaker 1: oh my god that might have been the right pitch
Speaker 1: even um uh sort of calls to mind how a
Speaker 1: slow moving herb before dinosaur might call out um, and
Speaker 1: so I also iconically see those big old gates opening
Speaker 1: when I hear this music, and I feel the sort
Speaker 1: of hearkening back in time and also the promise of adventure.
Speaker 1: And so I think it's a great theme and I
Speaker 1: think it is a new standard. Don't you agree? You
Speaker 1: I agree, and thank you. So I have nothing to add.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for for speaking at length about that.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you one question before you add
Speaker 1: a song. Yes, if you had to write words to
Speaker 1: the Jurassic Park theme song, what would they be? Okay?
Speaker 1: Who that woman over there? It's Laura Derney and she's
Speaker 1: has the hair. She's that woman over there. She is
Speaker 1: a Laura. She is helping out with the dune. She
Speaker 1: loves to help like a doctor helped the dine. So
Speaker 1: it's actually the words are Laura dern loves to help
Speaker 1: out with the dinosaurs like a doctor does, like a
Speaker 1: doctress in parentheses like a doctor doctor does. So that's
Speaker 1: actually on the infinite playlist, and congratulations to that song.
Speaker 1: It is now come time for you Bowen to add,
Speaker 1: you know, a song to the list. I'm going to
Speaker 1: add a really important song and that is going to
Speaker 1: be Light My Candle from the Rent Original Motion Picture version,
Speaker 1: not Daphne, Reuben Megan, Adam Pascal, but Rosario Dawson and
Speaker 1: Adam Pascal, just because you know, the sound is a
Speaker 1: little bit better. It's from a movie. They didn't record
Speaker 1: it in some dusty studio on you know, a Monday.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yes, And I have to say,
Speaker 1: like my my immediate impulse to this, and it is
Speaker 1: an excited impulse. Um, is that I'm really excited to
Speaker 1: hear from Rosario after this. I would love for her
Speaker 1: to praise us. I want her to come praise us.
Speaker 1: And also, you know, maybe Corey Booker can like sort
Speaker 1: of pop in the zoom. I don't know why I
Speaker 1: think of this happening on a zoom. Maybe it's because
Speaker 1: I'm sort of wanting her to be on the pot
Speaker 1: or something. Oh my gosh, Well, are you more excited
Speaker 1: for Rosario or for John Williams to to send you
Speaker 1: a word of praise? Well? If John Williams sent me
Speaker 1: a word of praise, that certainly would be a great
Speaker 1: act of God. Because he has passed. Um, I'm so
Speaker 1: sorry I think has he passed? Producers? Did John william
Speaker 1: pass She has not passed away. He's he's alive. And
Speaker 1: this is the second time. This is the second time
Speaker 1: I've declared someone dead on the podcast that hasn't been dead. Wait,
Speaker 1: who was the first one? It was Hugh Hefner and
Speaker 1: then he died. Oh my god. On the Peter Smith episode,
Speaker 1: we were saying, we came in a hot being like,
Speaker 1: Hugh Heffner is dead, and we had to record like
Speaker 1: a pre like a pre intro to the show, which
Speaker 1: was saying, on this episode we say, Hugh Havefner his dad,
Speaker 1: he's not. Six months later he did die. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the beauty of having a podcast and having
Speaker 1: it sort of crystallized forever. Um. Yeah, there was a
Speaker 1: time when we thought, you have never his dad. There
Speaker 1: was a time when we had to say that he
Speaker 1: had not died. And then now there was a time
Speaker 1: in which she did in fact die after that, exactly exactly,
Speaker 1: and we did. We did end correcting the record on that,
Speaker 1: so that's good. But Hans just kind of said, if
Speaker 1: you killed John Williams just now dot dot dot, how
Speaker 1: dare you? How dare you for attacking not just a
Speaker 1: composer but someone on the playlist. That's crazy. Shut up, Hans,
Speaker 1: shut up. I think it's um. I think light my
Speaker 1: Candle is a really fun song, huge song for musical theater.
Speaker 1: I think I think I do know all the words.
Speaker 1: Let you forget gotta light? I know you your your
Speaker 1: ship ring? Can you make it? Can you make it?
Speaker 1: It's nothing? And they turned off my heat and I'm
Speaker 1: just a little week on my feet. Would you like
Speaker 1: my candy? What did you start? Yet? Nothing? You're here
Speaker 1: in the moonlight. You look familiar. Now it's can you
Speaker 1: make it? No? No, just having need much? Okay, well
Speaker 1: let's look this up. I thought I was going to
Speaker 1: do this. Wait, well we're going to get through the song. Oh?
Speaker 1: I know you you're shivering. It's nothing. They turned off
Speaker 1: my heat and it's little. Would you like my candle?
Speaker 1: You start? Yes? Yes? Just having me much today? At
Speaker 1: least the room stops spinning anyway, what nothing? You smile
Speaker 1: reminded me of? I always remind people who is she?
Speaker 1: She died? Her name was April. We have to stop?
Speaker 1: Is this so keep going? It's out again? Sorry, patcher friend?
Speaker 1: Would you like again? Yeah? Now I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh the wax it's tripping. I like it the scene
Speaker 1: night fingers, I figured, oh well, good night. It blew
Speaker 1: out again? No, I think I dropped my stack. I
Speaker 1: know I've seen you out and about when I used
Speaker 1: to go out your candles out? Then I had it
Speaker 1: when I walked in the door, it was pure. Is
Speaker 1: it on the floor and the floor out? What? You're
Speaker 1: fair again? Oh no, I mean you do have a
Speaker 1: nice I mean you look for miliar like a dead
Speaker 1: girl friend. Don't only when you smile. But I'm sure
Speaker 1: i've seen you somewhere else. Do you go to the
Speaker 1: cats Catch club? That's where I work. I dance. Yes,
Speaker 1: they used to tie you up. It's a living I
Speaker 1: didn't recognize you without the handcuffs. We could either can
Speaker 1: come on. That was my last match. Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we missed um. Why don't you don't forget that stuff?
Speaker 1: You look like your sixteen. I'm nineteen. We changed my
Speaker 1: eighth I was, but don't be fat. Our once was
Speaker 1: born to be bad. I used to shiver it like that.
Speaker 1: I have no heat. I told you I used to sweat.
Speaker 1: I gotta call. I used to be a junkie now
Speaker 1: and then I liked it feel good and then it's
Speaker 1: and then it's what he sees it. Oh he's oh wait,
Speaker 1: what's that? Uh ka? And now that was my last match. Alright,
Speaker 1: just thank god for the moon. Baby, it's not the
Speaker 1: moon at all. I hear spikily shooting down the street.
Speaker 1: You're changing the key everything. I'm sorry? Am I doing
Speaker 1: it every single time? By bug b bug cold hands?
Speaker 1: Yours do a little bit like your father's want to
Speaker 1: dance with you? Yeah? No with my father, I'm Roger
Speaker 1: the cool Yeah yeah, I went up the octave. Honey,
Speaker 1: you really did. I didn't hit it. I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't hit it right, unfortunately, Rosarioca never But the song
Speaker 1: is on the playlist. You know, if you haven't tuned
Speaker 1: out at this point, we really thank you because we're
Speaker 1: only after all eight songs in Hailey Stein Felt Still Rain,
Speaker 1: just Champion off the list, Queen of Pop and inducted
Speaker 1: into a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But it's
Speaker 1: so funny that you were talking about light my Candle
Speaker 1: because you know has a song called lights Ellie Golding
Speaker 1: that is not on the list, but Army by Ellie
Speaker 1: Golding is on the list. Wow, Army, I love that song.
Speaker 1: This is my favorite Ellie Golden song, and it's good
Speaker 1: for it. You can say it to a lover, you
Speaker 1: can sing it to a friend when I'm with you,
Speaker 1: When I'm with you, stand then the riff down is impossible.
Speaker 1: She's a freak. But we love Ellie. We love Ellie
Speaker 1: so much. Army is a wonderful edition. I think I
Speaker 1: am a little I'm trying to figure out where where,
Speaker 1: where with the next direction of this playlist is going
Speaker 1: to be, at least for my for my um contribution,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Do you have anything more to say about
Speaker 1: Army by? You know? I just like I like the
Speaker 1: song and feelis should be on the playlist, And um,
Speaker 1: what's your song you're gonna add? Well, I think I
Speaker 1: am gonna do. Um. See, that's what's tough is I
Speaker 1: want to make the playlist fun. But as we have said,
Speaker 1: this is not a cool playlist. No, this is not
Speaker 1: a cool playlist. But I want to add a song
Speaker 1: that I worry that the reading, that the interpretation of
Speaker 1: it will be that I'm trying to be cool. But
Speaker 1: I think this is such a wonderful song and it's okay. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll let you know. It's I want to be Your
Speaker 1: Lover by Prince. It's such a lovely Prince song and
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Prince songs. You gotta put it on.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it on, Okay, So it's lovely Prince song.
Speaker 1: It ends, it goes into the instrumental after like the
Speaker 1: third minute, so you have the option of skipping after
Speaker 1: he's done singing, or you can listen to the whole
Speaker 1: track and honor Prince himself. So I'm gonna add that track.
Speaker 1: M I love that. Um. You know, here's the thing
Speaker 1: about Prince. Prince famously had a song called Purple Rain.
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing about rain. Rain is one of
Speaker 1: the words in Mariah Carries I can't make it through
Speaker 1: the Rain, which was not even really in the top
Speaker 1: fifty of her songs. What it is on the playlist amazing,
Speaker 1: I can make it through the rain. Um, what does
Speaker 1: the song mean to you? What does it mean to
Speaker 1: you when she says she can make it through the rain, Well,
Speaker 1: it makes me believe that I can get through anything.
Speaker 1: Because of Mariah carry can get through glitter and Tommy
Speaker 1: Mantola than anyone can get anything. It really really makes
Speaker 1: me happy that she survived so now, but when what's
Speaker 1: the next song that you were going to put on
Speaker 1: the list? Okay, well, I think Through the Rain by
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey makes me think of someone standing on the street, um,
Speaker 1: in the rain, being soaked by the rain, maybe a
Speaker 1: sex worker. And I think this song is an ode
Speaker 1: to sex workers. It's called Government Hooker by Lady Gaga.
Speaker 1: The third time thought her amazing album Born this Way,
Speaker 1: She amazed. She has such an amazing bridge where she
Speaker 1: um says put your hands on me and John F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy such stupid, stupid, stupid lyrics, um, but actually kind
Speaker 1: of like amazing and iconic. I love I missed this
Speaker 1: Gaga era where she was just like I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: whatever the funk I want on this Caromatica kind of
Speaker 1: had that, but this is like it's pure chaos, and
Speaker 1: I kind of love that she was able to write
Speaker 1: a song called Government Hooker and make it to um
Speaker 1: the top half of this album. I would completely agree
Speaker 1: with you. And you know something I really, um really
Speaker 1: love about um. Sort of when you just sort of
Speaker 1: called to mind sex work, is it really brings me
Speaker 1: to the red light district, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: It's sort of like um, it sort of brings me there.
Speaker 1: And I think that no music video I sort of
Speaker 1: recalled that and no, um no energy has been sort
Speaker 1: of calling to mind like that zone quite like Beyonce's Partition,
Speaker 1: which is you know it's it's on the list. Oh
Speaker 1: and and does that sound take place in the red
Speaker 1: light district? I mean it gives me red light district.
Speaker 1: See what you're saying. Well in the music video, if
Speaker 1: you heard it, like if you heard it out at
Speaker 1: the red in the red Light District, you'd be like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm at home here. Yes, I'm at home here, and
Speaker 1: I actually feel really good about being here. Do you
Speaker 1: think this is the only playlist that exists online with
Speaker 1: the Jurassic Park theme and Partition by Beyonce on it together?
Speaker 1: I think we've already made history after after you added Partition,
Speaker 1: there has been no there's been other playlists with Government
Speaker 1: Hooker and the Jurassic Park theme. There have been other
Speaker 1: playlists with Army by Ellie Golden with um you know,
Speaker 1: certainly with rock Bottom by Hayley Steinfeld. Now you've added
Speaker 1: Partition by Beyonce. You've made history with this playlist, and
Speaker 1: I thank you and I admire you very deeply for that.
Speaker 1: That really made me emotional when you said that you
Speaker 1: admired me. I always do when I'm with you. When
Speaker 1: I'm with you, okay, partition makes me think of drivers,
Speaker 1: and when I'm driving, I like to think of another
Speaker 1: song by another group of texts and women. This is
Speaker 1: Whos by the Chicks. Yes, you know they actually they said.
Speaker 1: Originally they said that it was going to be too
Speaker 1: early to add another sorry, another song by the Chicks
Speaker 1: to the list. They we're saying that earlier, but now
Speaker 1: they're saying, we actually can add another song by the Chicks,
Speaker 1: and it is not Ready to Make Nice by the Chicks,
Speaker 1: because name a better song, Name a more cathartic song.
Speaker 1: I dare you, reader, I dare you, if you can
Speaker 1: name a more cathartic song, Matt and I will pay
Speaker 1: you what hundred dollars each? Yeah, you'll get a hundred
Speaker 1: dollars from each of us, each of us and your
Speaker 1: Venmo if you can name a more iconic song than
Speaker 1: not Ready to Make Nice cathartic song, cathartic, well, cathartic
Speaker 1: and iconic. Actually, the thing is they're the same, you know,
Speaker 1: sort of the same, like a lot of white women like,
Speaker 1: they're like, that was so cathartic. And what they mean
Speaker 1: is like they had an iconic moment. That's little, that's
Speaker 1: just what a what a lot of white women say.
Speaker 1: A lot of white women I've heard say Marilyn Monroe
Speaker 1: was so cathartic. Yes, that's true. Yeah, they say they
Speaker 1: look at a photo of her, and a white woman
Speaker 1: will often go, such a cathartic figure, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, she was such a cathartic figure. It makes
Speaker 1: just enough sense, but not enough to fully be like
Speaker 1: for you to fully emphatically agree, Yes, someone says a
Speaker 1: cathartic figure, You're like, I you mean tragic or but
Speaker 1: you know what they mean, it's cathartic. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like them being like, oh my god, you know it
Speaker 1: was such a cathartic moment when Michelle fell with us
Speaker 1: and his child, that was cathartic. Like, and you're like, um,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're using that right, But do you
Speaker 1: know my favorite miscuse of a wordever or makeup of
Speaker 1: a wordever? Magical? Tragical? Oh my god, that you know
Speaker 1: me because you've talked about in the Path before. But
Speaker 1: I think we can back a word. Tragical is a word.
Speaker 1: Not to me, it's not here the thing readers, there's
Speaker 1: a podcast series long discussion on whether or not tragical
Speaker 1: is a real word, or if it's dumb people misusing
Speaker 1: tragic and maybe it's in the dictionary because they finally
Speaker 1: were like, God, make tragical a word, because these white
Speaker 1: women can't stop. And it was an iconic, not cathartic,
Speaker 1: iconic Italian woman. That's why who did this Italian? That's
Speaker 1: why cathartic and tragical are not the same thing. But
Speaker 1: cathartic is the same as iranic iconic. I'm so sorry, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: yes deeply. Now with this sort of this moment has
Speaker 1: been cathartic. This is a cathartic episode already. This is
Speaker 1: such a cathartic episode. What's your next one that you're
Speaker 1: going to add to the playlist that everyone can listen
Speaker 1: to publicly? I know that I know that face that
Speaker 1: you're making. It's that face of it's that face of
Speaker 1: you want to say thriller by Michael Jackson, but you
Speaker 1: know that will be fucked up. You know that will
Speaker 1: be so fuck up. I have a song Okay, the
Speaker 1: song I'm going to add will be the thriller. It's
Speaker 1: not thriller. It is the opening track on the amazing
Speaker 1: Grammy winning album Fearless by Taylor Swift, and it is
Speaker 1: the title track. It is Fearless by Taylor Swift because
Speaker 1: it's another country song. It's about UM, not having fear,
Speaker 1: not ready to make nice, about not having um fear
Speaker 1: and not having guilt and not having um the space
Speaker 1: in your heart to forgive, and Fearless is a song
Speaker 1: about fearlessly driving down in the open road with a
Speaker 1: new love of your life. Yes, thank you for that,
Speaker 1: And I'm really happy to finally sort of know what
Speaker 1: those two songs are about UM. And thank you of
Speaker 1: breaking that down. Speaking of fee, are actually gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna add what I pretty much I'm gonna be positive
Speaker 1: it is going to be the scariest song on the list.
Speaker 1: Oh my God is a thriller by Michael Jackson. No,
Speaker 1: I know enough to not say that. That will be
Speaker 1: fucked up to say that, and I'm trying to be
Speaker 1: cathartic in a different way. The sort of song I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of is, of course, the very spooky anthem Ghostbusters.
Speaker 1: Ghostbusters theme song has made it on the list Name
Speaker 1: a more iconic moment than Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr.
Speaker 1: I'll wait, I can name a more cathartic song, and
Speaker 1: that is a Huey Lewis in the News song which
Speaker 1: m Huey Lewis a sued Way Parker for I believe
Speaker 1: um for sounding too much like the Ghostbusters theme from sports.
Speaker 1: I believe the album is what Hans you know? Are
Speaker 1: you talking about power of love? No? No, h Lewis
Speaker 1: in the News. No, I'm I know Huey Lewis because
Speaker 1: my mom was like so wet for Huey Lewis for
Speaker 1: my entire life. Was it on like? Was it like
Speaker 1: Honkytown Blues Dog? Do you know this hunt engineer Doug Okay,
Speaker 1: I want a new drug? Yes, it was drug when
Speaker 1: the woman was sick. Yep. I love this song. But
Speaker 1: but Lewis just um Is maintains that the Ghostbester's theme
Speaker 1: was ripped off. If I Want a New Drug, Blois
Speaker 1: did receive a settlement. Shoe Lewis did receive a settlement
Speaker 1: sort of that blurred lines controversy. Oh my god. And
Speaker 1: speaking of which, the next song on the playlist is
Speaker 1: in fact blurred Lines. It's controversial, Yes, yes, the Blurred
Speaker 1: Lines playlist. And the crazy thing is actually it's in
Speaker 1: the contract of the playlists that if Bowen adds something,
Speaker 1: I am powerless to stopping it, like I can't stop it,
Speaker 1: and so the same is true for me. Wow, I
Speaker 1: can't believe that blurred Lines is on our playlist as
Speaker 1: something we endorse as a as a duo. I actually know,
Speaker 1: you know, I take it back. This steels wrong. History
Speaker 1: is being made. I'm taking a song out of the playlist.
Speaker 1: This is the first time in in Matt and Bowen
Speaker 1: playlists history that a song has been added and removed.
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm going to add a song
Speaker 1: as an apology because I think this is a song
Speaker 1: that's calling myself out. He wasn't man enough, by Tony Braxton.
Speaker 1: He wasn't man enough to keep blurred Lines on the playlist,
Speaker 1: And I'm not man enough to keep blurd Lines on
Speaker 1: the playlist. Do you want to hear something about my
Speaker 1: hashtag problematic past? As a lot of women say so,
Speaker 1: when I was very little, I would do When I
Speaker 1: was I think nine or two, you would do it.
Speaker 1: Tony Braxton impression, I would do two impressions, share like
Speaker 1: no matter how that and because because they had the
Speaker 1: same kind of deep voice, I would do who was
Speaker 1: a man enough me? And my mother loved it so
Speaker 1: much that she used to say. She used to say,
Speaker 1: we need to get you on Rosie. That's what my
Speaker 1: mother used to iconically say. And a lot of white
Speaker 1: women used to say that to their kids, we need
Speaker 1: to get you and they actually did. But the she,
Speaker 1: Katrina wanted you to get on Rosie, to do the
Speaker 1: Tony Braxton impression, to do my impressions of Sharon Tony Braxton,
Speaker 1: which I have to say, I'm very happy is not
Speaker 1: a thing. Oh my god, imagine. But I loved Tony
Speaker 1: Braxon's deep, deep voice. We all do how she could
Speaker 1: somehow have that deep, rich quality and also be belting
Speaker 1: for the gods. Never sleep on the next song on
Speaker 1: our list, and they said it was too early, but
Speaker 1: we've since got it cleared up, which is unbreak my
Speaker 1: heart by Tony. I mean, this is a song that
Speaker 1: is so low and so high. And guess what, Mama,
Speaker 1: it is hard to be both. It is hard to
Speaker 1: be both. She really gives you a big, big Canyon
Speaker 1: of Arrange, doesn't she? Do you want to hear us
Speaker 1: little story that is also about my mother and Tony Braxton. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's more. We went to go see the Broadway musical
Speaker 1: Aida when I was younger, and it was currently at
Speaker 1: the time, it was starring Tony Braxton, and also in
Speaker 1: the show was Mentel as m At the time when
Speaker 1: you wouldn't get quite as excited about Adina, but I
Speaker 1: do love looking back and knowing she was in there.
Speaker 1: So I loved, you know, the show. I think it's fabulous,
Speaker 1: or I did at the time anyway, and we were
Speaker 1: leaving and I turned to my mother and I said,
Speaker 1: what did you think of the show? I thought it
Speaker 1: was amazing, and she was like, I like the show.
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty good. I thought it was
Speaker 1: pretty good. My mother was so obviously flying high from
Speaker 1: hair spray or something, so I was like, well, did
Speaker 1: you think that Tony Braxton was absolutely fabulous? I'm I'm,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of ten years old and gay. And
Speaker 1: my mother took a deep breath and she turned to
Speaker 1: me because she knew this was going to be controversial
Speaker 1: and that I'd be mad at her, But she said,
Speaker 1: Matthew I think she has beautiful voice. I could not
Speaker 1: understand all of what she was saying, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I acted like I had paid for the tickets. I
Speaker 1: was like, few people, you're disgusting. Don't talk to me,
Speaker 1: you fucking tasteless, crude white woman. I was like, crude
Speaker 1: white woman. And I think what she was sort of
Speaker 1: saying was Tony Braxton's diction left something to be desired, which,
Speaker 1: while being absolutely true, I didn't appreciate hearing. Sorry, who
Speaker 1: is she? Um? Matteo Lane in the year two thousand
Speaker 1: and fifteen, reading Ariana Grande for her lack of addiction. No,
Speaker 1: and we love Mateo, do not cut it out. We're
Speaker 1: not getting that out. And I know we should. We
Speaker 1: should disclaim that we love Mateo so so dearly and
Speaker 1: we we will miss him very much, but he the Mateo.
Speaker 1: You can admit, if you're listening to this, that you
Speaker 1: would not lay off miss Ariana for a year. Pitch
Speaker 1: problems are like, you know, Mateo is sort of sharpening
Speaker 1: his Mateo. Mateo does out of a place of love.
Speaker 1: I remember that Mateo would tell us it's because I
Speaker 1: love her and believe you, and because it's because he
Speaker 1: saw a great future for her. I mean he's not
Speaker 1: scared to read the ones he loves the most. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's the he's the king of the Lambs. And the
Speaker 1: episode of his of law schools racist is called it's
Speaker 1: a shame about Mariah. So understand, this is someone who
Speaker 1: you know, for better or worse, reserves criticism for the
Speaker 1: ones he loves most because he doesn't care about the people.
Speaker 1: He doesn't care about exactly he cares. He's making a
Speaker 1: comment because he cares. That's that's what's going on. Speaking
Speaker 1: of people I don't care about, I'd like to say
Speaker 1: the opposite of that, which is people I care about,
Speaker 1: which is Bowen Yang. Because it's his turn to add
Speaker 1: something to the list. I care about you too, Oh,
Speaker 1: I care about you so deeply, so deeply. I am
Speaker 1: going to add um a song that is also about
Speaker 1: a body part. Okay, my heart is um, and this
Speaker 1: is a song called UM. This is my Hair by
Speaker 1: Alaska Thunderfuck Fantastic. Let's add it. This is her hair.
Speaker 1: In fact, she doesn't wear wigs, and stop asking if
Speaker 1: it's a wig. It's her hair. She says it in
Speaker 1: the song. She says it in the song she takes
Speaker 1: her vitamins. She's a natural platinum blonde. Are the lyrics
Speaker 1: in the song, and don't you forget it she takes
Speaker 1: her vitamins. Maybe you should try taking your vitamins now.
Speaker 1: It's interesting that we talk about hair because for me personally,
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to travel from the hair all the
Speaker 1: way to a different body part, which is skin. When
Speaker 1: I add Rihanna's song Skin to the list, this is
Speaker 1: a underrated Rihanna absolute smash. Skin is a xy song
Speaker 1: off the Loud album. And I'm so thrilled that Rihanna
Speaker 1: makes her debut, her cathartic debut on the list. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. And actually I'm getting worried now that is
Speaker 1: not too early to add more Rihanna, And in fact,
Speaker 1: it's not going to add It's not too early to
Speaker 1: add more Loud Rihanna. No, I I really I feel
Speaker 1: an energy for you. I think we're thinking about the
Speaker 1: same thing, and I'm really excited. I'm going to add
Speaker 1: one of her best collaborations. It's What's My Name by Drake.
Speaker 1: Oh No, you don't know, see you like a different
Speaker 1: Rihanna song. Yeah, but you know what I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: And I love that we're sort of like agreeing that
Speaker 1: it's not too early or late to add Rihanna to
Speaker 1: the list. But before I do clarify, what's my name?
Speaker 1: I mean talk about it because I'm so in agreeance.
Speaker 1: She was asking her lover what her name is, and
Speaker 1: she is actually expressing and barry and no in certain terms.
Speaker 1: She really wants to see if you can go down
Speaker 1: to town with a girl like her. Hey, boy, she
Speaker 1: really wants to be with chick because you're just her type.
Speaker 1: Na mh hey, well, really what she wants as a
Speaker 1: man who can take it over looking for a guy
Speaker 1: sort of is it pull me over, flip me over,
Speaker 1: put me over, and then oh an amazing song. Now,
Speaker 1: because it's still currently true that it's not too early
Speaker 1: to put more Rihanna on the list, California King Bed
Speaker 1: is being added to the list at this time. This
Speaker 1: actually was cathartically a Rihanna single. This is when she
Speaker 1: was like, I'm actually going to release ballads like every
Speaker 1: other girl, and before she sort of, you know, moved
Speaker 1: away from that and started just doing more the Rihanna thing.
Speaker 1: I think the last Rihanna ballad was stay right, Stay Well,
Speaker 1: We can would we consider? Um? I mean like, maybe
Speaker 1: what NA is that a ballad? Thing's off of Antie.
Speaker 1: I feel like our little murkier Anti close to you. Um,
Speaker 1: you know it's ballad. She she kind of tried to
Speaker 1: innovate outside of ballad spaces after after unapologetic yes, yes, yes, indeed. Okay,
Speaker 1: Now I'm wondering, because it's your turn, what you're thinking
Speaker 1: about adding to the playlist. Well, I'm actually getting worried
Speaker 1: now unfortunately that it is too early to put in
Speaker 1: any loud Rihanna, but not too early to put in
Speaker 1: Rihanna in general. But I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. But I'm going to
Speaker 1: add a song that I think we all know very
Speaker 1: very well, we all know very very well, and that
Speaker 1: is Um, you know, California King is about owning things,
Speaker 1: is about having the California King bed um. And she
Speaker 1: even feels distant even though she's on this California King
Speaker 1: bed um. That's a cathartic image, cathartic image. I'm going
Speaker 1: to add a song about consumerism, and that is I
Speaker 1: Don't Want It at All by Kim petris Um. Kim's
Speaker 1: debut on the list and really her debut into the
Speaker 1: gay public consciousness. I say, because she hasn't really appeared
Speaker 1: outside of the gay public consciousness yet, but we are
Speaker 1: waiting for that to happen. But two gay people. She
Speaker 1: became sort of more famous than oh, I don't know
Speaker 1: the President of the United States um because she actually
Speaker 1: could be seen performing in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, America,
Speaker 1: often at six different bars at once. She somehow was
Speaker 1: literally everywhere, like you'd see her at beaches sort of
Speaker 1: singing I don't want it at all. You'd see her
Speaker 1: sort of at Revolver singing I don't want I don't
Speaker 1: want it at all. I think they cloned Kim Petris
Speaker 1: so she could be in every West Hollywood UM bar
Speaker 1: and a half or half a bar she there was
Speaker 1: at one point at Kim Petris um at three different
Speaker 1: locations of The Eagle and the Rosemond Bar in Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: New York. She would be there there, There'll be three
Speaker 1: of her walking around being like, Hi, my name is Kim,
Speaker 1: I'm German, and I'm I'm a pop star, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, who is this girl? And then she
Speaker 1: was like hate you with the vocals and you'd be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we love this. Yes. And it's actually
Speaker 1: so funny because that very same Kim Petris at that
Speaker 1: very same time was also somehow at the hard Rock
Speaker 1: Cafe in Anaheim. So this is it's really crazy that
Speaker 1: that that's all true, but it is now. They actually
Speaker 1: said they were sort of saying earlier that it was
Speaker 1: going to be too early to add Kim Petras to
Speaker 1: the list again, but what about now, But and they're
Speaker 1: still saying that. They're still saying that, so we actually
Speaker 1: can't we can't add more Kim Petras at this time.
Speaker 1: But sort of something that is happening is they're saying,
Speaker 1: you have to go back and think more about Huey Lewis,
Speaker 1: and you have to add actually one Huey Lewis song.
Speaker 1: And that's why I am adding the song if this
Speaker 1: is it by Huey Lewis to the list, which goes
Speaker 1: like this, if this isn't, please let me know. If
Speaker 1: this is it? Love Bpit, just say so. And I
Speaker 1: think our hot producer, a hot engineer, Doug does know
Speaker 1: that song. Can he confirm? I just want to connect
Speaker 1: with um Doug sort of over straight heterosexual sounds for
Speaker 1: this one moment, because that's to me palitable for straight people. Truly.
Speaker 1: The title is if this is it? Doug, are you
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast? He just asked the title question mark,
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast, listen to the power. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna tell you it's it's this, It's is this it?
Speaker 1: We told you it's if this is it? Anyway, if
Speaker 1: this is it, we're moving on and he can sort
Speaker 1: of catch up with me later. Okay, I'm gonna not
Speaker 1: do the ac that we've been doing, and I'm actually
Speaker 1: going to add a song. This is a song that
Speaker 1: is important to the country. Um. It is Fire by
Speaker 1: Katy Perry. I don't know a more patriotic song. It's
Speaker 1: not more cathartic than I'm not really to make nice,
Speaker 1: but it is the most patriotic song we've ever had.
Speaker 1: It's it's actually way more patriotic than that song, which
Speaker 1: is not on the playlist. And I'm proud to be
Speaker 1: an American American. I think I'm like really not doing
Speaker 1: well with pitch today. Am I like sort of not
Speaker 1: in the right key at any time? I think you
Speaker 1: were are you were in the right area. And I'm
Speaker 1: proud to be an American. We're at least that no
Speaker 1: love be I don't know, but that song and I'm
Speaker 1: proud to be an American America at least, And then
Speaker 1: who died? Who gave that right? Next to you? To God?
Speaker 1: But it's not I did not harm I did not harmonize. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry because it's not on the playlist. Um,
Speaker 1: but speaking of America, UM, one song that's sort of
Speaker 1: to me like says we're like really free? Is Demi Levado?
Speaker 1: Is cool for the summer? Um, I name a name
Speaker 1: a free or song of song about freedom. Name a
Speaker 1: song that's more about freedom, which is, you know, sort
Speaker 1: of I am exploring girls and I'm a girl, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like that that that's pure freedom,
Speaker 1: That is pure catharsis, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: that's so cathartic to say that, like and to think
Speaker 1: that today bow and Yang sort of reminded me of
Speaker 1: Demi Levado when he made a hilarios joke which was
Speaker 1: he spell h e l A r e o s hilarious.
Speaker 1: So basically today Bowen did like a really cathartic thing
Speaker 1: when he put on his grid Demi l vado voting,
Speaker 1: and he said something which was so funny and cathartic,
Speaker 1: which was he said that more like demil vota. I said,
Speaker 1: it is demi le vota. It is demil vota. And
Speaker 1: then deleting this. Yeah, but I have not deleted. What
Speaker 1: if I would you do if I deleted it? Be
Speaker 1: so mad? This? Actually I was Actually Boone has been
Speaker 1: doing this sort of quote unquote thing, which is like
Speaker 1: he'll be like felt cute, might delete, which is like
Speaker 1: a very white woman like he always goes deleting this later,
Speaker 1: deleting this, deleting this, which is to me like stunting
Speaker 1: and annoying. It's like stand by it or or and
Speaker 1: keep it up, or you're just asking for You're asking
Speaker 1: for it in a strumpety way, and I just you know,
Speaker 1: strumpets you're talking about like my thirst traps. No, not those.
Speaker 1: Anytime you say it take and you're like whatever, deleting this,
Speaker 1: it's like, bitch, keep it up. No, you're right. I
Speaker 1: don't think deleting this culture. Deleting this culture is bad culture.
Speaker 1: Cure is bad culture. But I almost never make an
Speaker 1: issue of this with Bowen, But on this post where
Speaker 1: he said deleting this. I was moved to comment and
Speaker 1: I said, no, leave it up. I will be mad
Speaker 1: in a real way if you delete this. Here you go.
Speaker 1: Didn't do it, but anyway, let me just quickly run
Speaker 1: over to the list and add Coup for the Summer
Speaker 1: to the list, which I believe. And I always say
Speaker 1: the reason why I sort of associated with like America
Speaker 1: because I think it's an American standard. I think that
Speaker 1: our grandparents had somewhere over the rainbow and our grandchildren
Speaker 1: will have cool for the summer. Yes, that's what I
Speaker 1: always Oh my god, what a great song. A great song. Okay,
Speaker 1: I am going to add a song. It's my turn.
Speaker 1: I think I believe it is. This is another song
Speaker 1: about summer, and I'm sorry to have broken the Tailor
Speaker 1: seal on to be the first one to break the
Speaker 1: Taylor seal on this plays. I'm gonna ad another Tailor song,
Speaker 1: also about summer. It's called Cruel Summer that did not
Speaker 1: get its due. It should have been a single off
Speaker 1: of Lover, one of the sort of better tracks off
Speaker 1: of Lover. I would say it's definitely the one that
Speaker 1: says I'm a single the most that didn't get that
Speaker 1: treatment and weird exactly exactly. Um, you know, there's not
Speaker 1: much weak that hasn't been said about Cruel Summer. I
Speaker 1: feel like it might be the most talked about song
Speaker 1: of all time. In many ways, people feel a sense
Speaker 1: of just or of injustice of it not getting the
Speaker 1: single treatment. I think it's sort of like an intergenerational
Speaker 1: thing where across all demographics everyone is like, why the
Speaker 1: funk wasn't Cruel Summer a single off of Lover? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? All across America they're saying that, and um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's a topic that's worth having
Speaker 1: and continuing in discussion and sort of things like that. Um, sorry,
Speaker 1: my brain is broken. Three. It's just like in three
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you what just happened. Um, which
Speaker 1: actually is interesting, um, because I think that once I
Speaker 1: stopped and did something, I was able to sort of
Speaker 1: get my thoughts back. And what I stopped and did
Speaker 1: was I breathed. And that's why I'm adding breathed by
Speaker 1: Faith hill To And it was on the actual list
Speaker 1: of the top two moments in culture history. This is
Speaker 1: actually a cathartic moment in Lost culture Asta's history because
Speaker 1: it is the first song that was on. Yes, this
Speaker 1: is the very first time that an item from the
Speaker 1: top two hundred. This is crazy moments of culture. I
Speaker 1: literally can't move about saying. This is also on the
Speaker 1: Mantain Bowens Infinite Playoffs for the very first time. That
Speaker 1: makes it the most famous song them all time. That
Speaker 1: makes it the most famous song of all time. Tell
Speaker 1: everyone about what Faith Hill does here. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: one thing she does is she goes suppose to be
Speaker 1: Remember that. Remember when she went being with you gets
Speaker 1: me that way? Oh my god, do you remember when
Speaker 1: she went, I can feel the sunladens across your face
Speaker 1: and ah, never been this sweptory? Oh my god? Remember
Speaker 1: when she went co terrast start that first ben love
Speaker 1: and then you already did this? Okay, wow, what just
Speaker 1: transpared last fifteen seconds? I don't would be like remember
Speaker 1: when she went And Doug just said in the in
Speaker 1: the in the chat, wow. And this is the first
Speaker 1: time he's ever directly emotionally commented on something because in
Speaker 1: the Little Box we might have to at least this
Speaker 1: video because Yang did not know one of the words
Speaker 1: he was singing, and then he sort of went to
Speaker 1: discussed that and coughed and coughed, and this is actually
Speaker 1: we might have to make a new list because that
Speaker 1: was a moment in culture. I don't know. No, I
Speaker 1: don't want that to be on the list. That was
Speaker 1: a low moment. I know it was a high moment
Speaker 1: because you were the way you were cathartic in that moment.
Speaker 1: It was a cathartic moment. It was a way I'm
Speaker 1: not cathartic right now. I don't feel cathartic. Please, you're
Speaker 1: making you're being cathartic in the way that you're not.
Speaker 1: I don't know who left. Hans left Hans. Can we
Speaker 1: just say no, oh we got Anna left? Hans is
Speaker 1: still here? Wow? For some reason Anna left the chat
Speaker 1: bone is that kind of bone? Is the kind of
Speaker 1: store right now where he's like everyone hates me? Yeah
Speaker 1: a little bit. First, you're race John Williams and you're
Speaker 1: rased me, Hans. No, shut up, Han, stop. You think
Speaker 1: you think, just because you're one of the hottest men
Speaker 1: in America that you can treat us like shit. That's
Speaker 1: only half true. Stupid. You know what is reminding me
Speaker 1: when I say the words stupid is the next song
Speaker 1: on the playlist, which is stupid Girls by Pink. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, this this song came out of nowhere because
Speaker 1: no one thought that stupid Girls would be on any
Speaker 1: list where they said like the word iconic, cathartic, those
Speaker 1: kinds of things. But stupid Girls by Pink is on
Speaker 1: the mat and bone in playlists, new standards. It's crazy,
Speaker 1: is I can confirm that it is. But you have
Speaker 1: gone two turns in a row. I just want to say,
Speaker 1: you put in Breathed by Fifth Hill and you put
Speaker 1: in stupid Growth. Stop everything and let me just apologize
Speaker 1: for taking up too much space, because I think what
Speaker 1: happened there is I got too excited and I accidentally
Speaker 1: and didn't mean to, but I did steamroll you. And
Speaker 1: I now there's actually a rule for when this happens.
Speaker 1: At this time gets to decide for the only time
Speaker 1: unless I do this again, if what I've added to
Speaker 1: the list actually is on the list or not. This
Speaker 1: this is in the contract. So Chris, take the floor,
Speaker 1: take as long as you need to talk this out.
Speaker 1: It is stupid Girls, cathic, carthartic, iconic. See I want
Speaker 1: to ask if it's if it's within the rules too,
Speaker 1: maybe redact take out one of your songs that you
Speaker 1: put in earlier. Let me just check with the board. Okay.
Speaker 1: The board is saying that you can do that, but
Speaker 1: that it would be let me just get this right,
Speaker 1: so shitty of you. They it would be so shitty
Speaker 1: of you to do that. But you are allowed to
Speaker 1: do that. That's what the board says. The board is
Speaker 1: Megan McCain and Abby Huntsman. By the way, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: a two person board. So if yeah, they're being they're
Speaker 1: really like mad. I don't know. They seem really mad,
Speaker 1: and they're every time I look at them, they sort
Speaker 1: of harshly whisper to each other. I don't know how
Speaker 1: they got this job, but they they're here, and they're
Speaker 1: in charge. They're in charge of the rules. I think.
Speaker 1: I think stupid girls belongs on the list. I will
Speaker 1: not delete a prior track, won't. Oh my god. Okay,
Speaker 1: benevolent fucking King, Oh my god. The way I want
Speaker 1: to service my benevolent king right now. Call me a peasant,
Speaker 1: because my benevolent King could use me however he saw fit.
Speaker 1: At this moment, I would absolutely be brought forcibly to
Speaker 1: the castle grounds to be had by my benevolent King
Speaker 1: in this moment, I honor him. Now it is now
Speaker 1: your turn to add a song to the list. This
Speaker 1: is one of the most iconic songs of all time.
Speaker 1: They're actually this might have a shot at beating out
Speaker 1: not ready to make nice in terms of the pure
Speaker 1: catharsis of the song, and that is the song Show
Speaker 1: Me Love by Robin S by Robin S. Fabulous powerful
Speaker 1: songs on on the planet. One of the most powerful, fabulous,
Speaker 1: cathartic songs on the planet. Now this is the sort
Speaker 1: of point when in creating the playlist that it gets
Speaker 1: a little controversial because this song sort of in terms
Speaker 1: of when it came out, reminds me of another song
Speaker 1: from my childhood that recently was used as a lip
Speaker 1: sing song on Canada's Drag Race. It's called if You
Speaker 1: Could Read My Mind. Now, I thought to myself, like
Speaker 1: Bowen has to know this song like it goes if
Speaker 1: you could read my man love? What tell my thoughts?
Speaker 1: Woo tell? And this was on the iconic episode of
Speaker 1: Canada's Drag Race that we were watching, and Bowen said
Speaker 1: he had never heard this song. I've never heard. Readers,
Speaker 1: Please reach out if you could read my mind. It's
Speaker 1: I guess by um this is weird Ultra nat Amber
Speaker 1: and Jocelyn Enriquez. I guess it's three singers that got
Speaker 1: together and did a little moment. But if you've heard
Speaker 1: this song and think it's a famous song, please reach
Speaker 1: out and confirmed for me, because Boone had never heard
Speaker 1: this song. I don't think it's famous in fact, but
Speaker 1: it was famous enough to be a lip sync on
Speaker 1: drag Race. Yeah, but they were at that point, they
Speaker 1: were scraping the bottom of the barrel with like Canadian songs.
Speaker 1: Perhaps that's not true. It was It wasn't even true.
Speaker 1: It was like the third time, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: unwrapping my lips from around your benevolent king cock right
Speaker 1: now and taking myself back back home because I no
Speaker 1: longer support the king. No, okay, that was well, if
Speaker 1: you could re my mind by Ultra Nate Amber and
Speaker 1: Joe Jocelyn and Riquez. Okay, amazing. I think we're almost
Speaker 1: out of time. When you say how many more songs
Speaker 1: do you think we should add? Well, how long has
Speaker 1: the podcast been so far? About an hour and eleven minutes,
Speaker 1: so I think we can add a few more. The
Speaker 1: very rude. Sorry, I don't know why. I'm also suddenly
Speaker 1: I want to call them judges because of the way
Speaker 1: they're looking at me. But very the board is saying
Speaker 1: that we can add five or seven more songs, not six.
Speaker 1: Why is it not an even number? Megan wants five,
Speaker 1: Abby wants seven, And now they're in a very like.
Speaker 1: Megan was like, okay, fine, let's do six. Then that's
Speaker 1: in the middle of five and seven, and Abby said,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do six because abbys for has
Speaker 1: a thing with even numbers. Megan thinks it's stupid. I'm
Speaker 1: going to agree with her, but they're having sort of
Speaker 1: a cathartic fight right now, and so I think we
Speaker 1: should just do seven because it feels like it's going
Speaker 1: to be more of a thing with Abby, who's sort
Speaker 1: of mad in a more quiet way. And Megan is like,
Speaker 1: already angry enough where I think she's gotten it out
Speaker 1: of her system. So let's do seven inside with Abby
Speaker 1: and just move forward. I you're we're in the same
Speaker 1: room as them. Is that what happens? They're they're sitting
Speaker 1: there sort of there. This is insane. They're sitting on
Speaker 1: the floor in front of the front door. It's really weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I asked there criss cross they're
Speaker 1: criss cross apple sauce. And well they were really mad
Speaker 1: when they came in because they were matching tops. They
Speaker 1: were they both had an orange sweater on. Abby isn't
Speaker 1: sort of like black cigarette pants and Megan is wearing
Speaker 1: our hideous skirt like it's purple. It's purple and green
Speaker 1: and green with orange. I don't know what the funk.
Speaker 1: Maybe she doesn't want to wear blue or red. It's
Speaker 1: like some sort of statement for for Joe Biden because
Speaker 1: she can't just come out and endorse. I. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on with the clothes, but anyway, they're sorting.
Speaker 1: She did endorse Joe Biden them, in fact, her and
Speaker 1: now her mother did. And then it's been sort of like,
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm having a baby, um, which I
Speaker 1: guess means she can set out the entire discourse her
Speaker 1: stances that she's having a baby, and that is political.
Speaker 1: It is it is it honestly is political to have
Speaker 1: a child. Yeah, and she is, of course, there's an
Speaker 1: open invitation for her to be on the show. She
Speaker 1: of course is welcome to come on and join us,
Speaker 1: and if she can charm us, we are going to
Speaker 1: kill ourselves. Ask her to do it now, she's in
Speaker 1: the room. No, no, no, she's not ready. She's shaking
Speaker 1: her head now. But one day soon we'll have her on.
Speaker 1: She's shaking her head, her head, no, And Abbey is
Speaker 1: now upset that she hasn't been asked. So now it's
Speaker 1: creating a whole other passive aggressive fight between them. I
Speaker 1: think this is just another chapter in the story of
Speaker 1: getting Megan McCain on this podcast. But I think we
Speaker 1: might we might talk to her sooner than we think.
Speaker 1: She's saying she'll think about it, okay, But but they're
Speaker 1: still really upset with each other about the five and
Speaker 1: seven of it all. And so so then when number
Speaker 1: did we land on? Five? Or seven? Seven? We're gonna
Speaker 1: seven because it seems like it's going to be more
Speaker 1: of a long term thing for Abby, whereas I think
Speaker 1: Megan will be able to get over. It's just a
Speaker 1: very much a thing right now. Like she's screaming, and
Speaker 1: like Abby is just like sort of breathing hard. Um,
Speaker 1: this is so weird. We're all supposed to go to
Speaker 1: cheesecake factory together. After this during COVID anyway, I'll let
Speaker 1: you know, but we should add another song. I think
Speaker 1: it's um My turn. Yeah, I think I'm gonna add Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a beautiful song. This is just I just
Speaker 1: came across this song and I think it's so sweet
Speaker 1: and beautiful. Okay, what is it. It's Casey Musgraves. I
Speaker 1: Miss You, cathartic, cathartic, cathartic song about you know, things
Speaker 1: are going well in your life, but you know, you
Speaker 1: run into that person and you think about them and
Speaker 1: you think, you know, I've got so many things going
Speaker 1: for me, but I still miss you, and that's the
Speaker 1: that's the thing that might be missing, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And actually they said that it was going to be
Speaker 1: too early before UM to add more Casey Musgraves. But
Speaker 1: actually I just said her name again and they both,
Speaker 1: as white women often do, started smiling so bright about
Speaker 1: Casey Musgraves. And they're now saying to each other. They're
Speaker 1: kissing each other's cheeks like as if they're greeting for
Speaker 1: the first time, and they're saying, you love Kasey Musgraves. Yeah,
Speaker 1: these two white women are really happy, and thankfully they
Speaker 1: are the board and they're allowing us to add another
Speaker 1: Casey song, and that's why I'm adding the song late
Speaker 1: to the Party by Casey Musgraves ute song, which is
Speaker 1: one of my favorite um Casey Musgraves songs, and it's
Speaker 1: a very cute when you um, are you know, sort
Speaker 1: of being smitten and you think about that person during it.
Speaker 1: I'm never laved to the party to such a pretty song,
Speaker 1: such a good writer. And so that song is on
Speaker 1: the list. It really is, it really is. I have
Speaker 1: a song that I think I'm going to add. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the Boss by Diana Ross. I love this song.
Speaker 1: This is one of the Bowen is saying, this is
Speaker 1: one of the new classics, the new classics, the new standards.
Speaker 1: What does it mean to you this boss? You know
Speaker 1: she was schooled by life and that reminds me of
Speaker 1: another song that has that same theme by Beyonce, who
Speaker 1: many have called the new Diana Ross. Have many calls
Speaker 1: her that, yes, and I think people are calling Camilica
Speaker 1: Bao the new Beyonce. Wow, that's crazy, I think, and
Speaker 1: I think, um, it's crazy for you a white man.
Speaker 1: Why you are a white white bitch? No, you are
Speaker 1: a white bitch, that's Bowen. It's crazy for you to
Speaker 1: sort of usher Beyonce until legend dumb and decide she's
Speaker 1: already being replaced by Camilla, who I think has a
Speaker 1: pretty problematic past. Now Camilla is Camilla has no skeletons
Speaker 1: in her closet. She is incredible. Let me ask the board. Okay,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's already a huge thing. They both
Speaker 1: agree that Camilla is good. But it's a fight, like
Speaker 1: it's so weird, like they I think they're they're fighting
Speaker 1: about whether or not they were both being excited enough
Speaker 1: about Camilla. Anyway, it's the whole thing started coming up.
Speaker 1: Just texted. First of all, she texted me a bunch
Speaker 1: of like alarm emojis, like the red alert. But then
Speaker 1: she said, technically, Chloe and Halley are being groomed to
Speaker 1: be the next Beyonce. But Camilla Cabello is just a
Speaker 1: fun what it's that word is just a fun mirror
Speaker 1: to Beyonce because she went solo from a girl group. Okay,
Speaker 1: the reason he didn't know what the word mirror was
Speaker 1: is because Abby Huntsman and all her text spells Mira
Speaker 1: m I R r A. It's really it's one of
Speaker 1: the funniest things she does, and she actually is funny,
Speaker 1: but she calls it Mira. And honestly, if we were
Speaker 1: getting a title of app, the title of this app
Speaker 1: would be Okay, cathartics. Wait, we are being so cathartic
Speaker 1: right now. Um, so that's great. So it's on the
Speaker 1: list now, you said the boss, which made me think
Speaker 1: of work. Um, and I'm not going to sort of
Speaker 1: put another Rhanna song on the list, but I A'm
Speaker 1: gonna put on the list. Nine to five by Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, such a cathartic song, one of the
Speaker 1: most cathartic songs from the cathartic film nine to five
Speaker 1: of the same name. That's right, Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: think the first time anyone's ever preferred to coffee as
Speaker 1: ambition really special. Pour masself a cup of ambition? Don that? Yeah? Also,
Speaker 1: how does this song not have an oscar for Best
Speaker 1: Original Song? Like the most cathartic icn' movie song? Does
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton have an oscar? She does not? You know,
Speaker 1: she was nominated again for I'm Still Traveling, Traveling. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, here, let's see um ninety eight
Speaker 1: eighty one, UM, Fame, Fame one honestly also iconic, though,
Speaker 1: was it also nominated? I'm saying nine lost to Fame.
Speaker 1: I was, but that's what I wanted to check that
Speaker 1: it was. Actually at least it was nominated, So Fame
Speaker 1: and Fame was nominated against itself without here on my
Speaker 1: own as well, so that I love out here on
Speaker 1: my own, But nine to five I think I might
Speaker 1: like nine to five better than Fame. I'm so sorry
Speaker 1: it's held up more. Yeah, I would say. Also, people
Speaker 1: are covering nine to five all the time now because
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton is still cool. Oh my god? Can I
Speaker 1: with the way. I watched at least a dozen Dolly
Speaker 1: Parton interview videos one day because I was just like
Speaker 1: in a weird mood and then I was like, this
Speaker 1: will make this will make me feel better? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: were in a Dolly There's something. There are not that
Speaker 1: many I'm getting really serious. There are not that many
Speaker 1: American figures who are like universally beloved, like across age
Speaker 1: gaps whatever. I mean. We love Dolly, don't we, We
Speaker 1: truly do. And one of those other American treasures, Um,
Speaker 1: who's going to make her? What are you doing? What
Speaker 1: are you gonna write? Well, what what I was going
Speaker 1: to say is one of the greatest American treasures and
Speaker 1: it's and this is her debut. What I was saying
Speaker 1: is Bowen Yang is. That's what I was saying. Let
Speaker 1: me test on the board. That was what they both agree.
Speaker 1: They're not out the debut part, and that would have worked.
Speaker 1: You for some reason decided to keep. No, the Lord
Speaker 1: agrees that that's what I was saying. And they're literally
Speaker 1: nodding their heads so vehemently that both their statement necklaces
Speaker 1: are flying around their chins. So please just add the
Speaker 1: song and stop with this. This is too much conflict
Speaker 1: for what is a cathartic episode iconic. I'm adding it's
Speaker 1: a So Quiet by b yorke Um, lovely sort of
Speaker 1: big band style song, but it's b York. She's screaming
Speaker 1: throughout it. York is I think maybe the Dolly Parton
Speaker 1: of the world. Dolly Parton is the Dolly Parton of America,
Speaker 1: but I think York is the Dolly Parton of the world.
Speaker 1: Do do you agree totally? Do you want to add
Speaker 1: another song? No, it's it's it's your turn now. Who
Speaker 1: are you gonna add he didn't fall for the He
Speaker 1: didn't fall for the trick. What's the trick? Well, I
Speaker 1: was gonna see if you said, yeah, sure, and then
Speaker 1: you add another one, and then I said, just kidding, bitch,
Speaker 1: it's the rules, and I would take b York. It's
Speaker 1: also quiet right off. You know you know that. But wait,
Speaker 1: the rules are as someone goes adds a song out
Speaker 1: of turn, then the person has then the extra song
Speaker 1: stays on the playlist, but the other person has the
Speaker 1: option of taking song out. That's just what the rule
Speaker 1: is the board, what is the rule? They're saying that
Speaker 1: if someone puts two songs in a row on the list,
Speaker 1: the other person has the opportunity to take that song
Speaker 1: they just added off. You later amended the rules and
Speaker 1: Megan got so excited there was going to be an amendment.
Speaker 1: And they both got so excited about amendments because they
Speaker 1: love the love the government that they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he can do that. They were just excited to have
Speaker 1: their first amendment. Oh my god. Anyway, it's my turn
Speaker 1: now and I'm adding Tina Turner Private Dancer talking about
Speaker 1: this song? What does it mean to you? Oh? This
Speaker 1: is an iconic sexy song, and it actually the first
Speaker 1: time you hear from Tina. In the song, she is
Speaker 1: her going, wow, you give me a mand on the many,
Speaker 1: it's so good. I'm your proudvate dancer dancer money do
Speaker 1: what do you want me to do? I'm your private
Speaker 1: dancer dancer for money and a new music. Well do
Speaker 1: we gotta get you on rosie dancer? And then she
Speaker 1: goes all the way up there. Good? That was good?
Speaker 1: Stop what cathartic? No, I was making the Tina sound.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, we can we we can add four more. No,
Speaker 1: we can add one more until we add we had
Speaker 1: we added sex board, how many do they're saying. They're
Speaker 1: saying we only added four. No, so we have to
Speaker 1: do three more. The bore, the bore saying they're putting
Speaker 1: on there, They're putting on their leather jackets to leave
Speaker 1: hold on over orange sweaters. One or three more? They
Speaker 1: said they can agree on to two more. Abbey is
Speaker 1: literally huffing and puffing. But I'm deciding I don't care. Well,
Speaker 1: I this is gonna be my last song anyway, So
Speaker 1: this is gonna be um because I'm getting word this
Speaker 1: is not from the board. I'm getting it from I'm
Speaker 1: being wired into a different thing. But they're telling me
Speaker 1: that it's not too early to add in wait for it,
Speaker 1: Charlie xc X again. I'm gonna add Boys by Charlie
Speaker 1: xc X to this poet. Oh my god, that song
Speaker 1: is on the list. And also, you know who's literally
Speaker 1: so shook right now is Hailey Steinfeld, whose placement as
Speaker 1: Queen of Pop is truly threatened and Champion of the
Speaker 1: list is truly threatened by this sort of cathartic last
Speaker 1: minute movement of Bowen Yang to add more Charlie x
Speaker 1: X to the list. They are now tied for Queen
Speaker 1: of Pop. They're now tied four Champion of the list
Speaker 1: and tied for getting inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: So is there's so much suspense leading up to this
Speaker 1: last song. I feel like you have some choices ahead
Speaker 1: of you, don't you know. Let's just say I have
Speaker 1: a lot of really big choices ahead of me, because
Speaker 1: I could choose to add to the list Hailey Steinfeld
Speaker 1: song and some amount her place as the Queen of Pop.
Speaker 1: I could choose to add another Rihanna. Wait. Rihanna is
Speaker 1: tied with Charlie and Hayley. We've forgotten about Rihanna. Know
Speaker 1: that I'm getting there. I'm saying we have Rihanna and
Speaker 1: we also have Charlie x X. So I guess this
Speaker 1: is the definitive a moment where we find out here
Speaker 1: live on this podcast, Last Culture Este. This is insane.
Speaker 1: Who is the queen of pop? Is it Hailey Steinfeldt,
Speaker 1: Rihanna or Charlie xc X. Oh my god? And at
Speaker 1: this time is this is I am so nervous right now,
Speaker 1: at this time I can reveal that the final song
Speaker 1: on the list is Oh, oh my god, I'm so
Speaker 1: scared straight up by Paula Abdul. Oh god, God, this
Speaker 1: is crazy. Wait, straight on my is the final song
Speaker 1: on the list. That means we do not have we
Speaker 1: have a three way tie of queen of Pop. I'm
Speaker 1: checking with the board just to make sure this is true.
Speaker 1: But wait, okay, it is true. Oh my gosh, because
Speaker 1: there was no definitive queen of pop. None of them
Speaker 1: are the queen of pop? Damn it. Will we ever
Speaker 1: find out? We may never find out. We might have
Speaker 1: to do an episode which is sort of just trying
Speaker 1: to find out who the Queen of Pop is because
Speaker 1: we thought it was going to be one of Charlie
Speaker 1: xc X, Rihanna R Hallie Steinfeld. But now with Paula
Speaker 1: Abdul sort of coming onto the list at the last second,
Speaker 1: we have to throw everything out. We have to do
Speaker 1: a whole other episode to discover who's the Queen of Pop.
Speaker 1: I think we're I think it might be an adventure
Speaker 1: with many characters, many winding turns in the story. I
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a story. But wow, what
Speaker 1: a moment that we created a two hour, thirty seven minute,
Speaker 1: forty song playlist that is truly eclectic. I think it's
Speaker 1: very I think very cathartic. The only men on this
Speaker 1: playlist are let me, I'll list them all, John Williams,
Speaker 1: Adam pascal Um, Prince Ray Parker, Jr. Hugh and Lewis
Speaker 1: and the News and perhaps Ultra Nate. No, that's that's you.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, But that's not because Bone Yang didn't
Speaker 1: want to add blurred lines by Robin Thicke, and I
Speaker 1: actually own up to that really laps in, that laps
Speaker 1: in judgment. And I feel like we have arrived, We've
Speaker 1: perfected the playlist because of that sort of corrective awareness
Speaker 1: in ourselves. You. The one thing I always say about you,
Speaker 1: Bowen Yang, is You've always been susceptible to party boat culture.
Speaker 1: And I think that because blurred Lines is an iconic
Speaker 1: party boat song. That's where you slipped up. Even I've
Speaker 1: never I've never once been on a party boat. Oh
Speaker 1: except for like um circle line cruises, but I've not been.
Speaker 1: I've never been on a yacht. I've never been on
Speaker 1: you know, a pontoon or or anything. So I I
Speaker 1: am susceptible to party boat culture, but I have not
Speaker 1: actually been on that many party boats. Well, so many
Speaker 1: times people are more susceptible to the culture they aspire to,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So so that's sort of
Speaker 1: like for me, I am always wearing um skis all
Speaker 1: the time, and I've never won skied, but I do
Speaker 1: aspire to ski culture. I'd like to one day be
Speaker 1: in a sort of ski chalet, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that's why I wear
Speaker 1: skis um sort of wherever I go. So that's that's
Speaker 1: the culture. It's incredible that we've collaborated on this list.
Speaker 1: In glancing at the list, how do you feel. I
Speaker 1: feel that it is a perfect list. These are I'm
Speaker 1: looking at every single one of these tracks. They are
Speaker 1: all the new standards, and we will all pass these
Speaker 1: songs down to the next generation. These are the new standards.
Speaker 1: These are the new standards, and that you will all everyone.
Speaker 1: This is my challenge to the readers that we are
Speaker 1: all off book on these songs. Just gonna say and
Speaker 1: then at each point, at which point we will introduce
Speaker 1: a new series of standards. On November. Let's just say
Speaker 1: our first episode of November two, we're going to be
Speaker 1: making a new playlist um in two years. So you
Speaker 1: guys have told them to sort of get off book
Speaker 1: on this one before we can even attempt another one.
Speaker 1: They thank you so much for listening to this. Please
Speaker 1: familiarize yourself with these songs if you haven't already. And
Speaker 1: any closing. I don't think we're gonna do I don't
Speaker 1: think Sony this weeak no, Actually there's no. I don't
Speaker 1: let me check with the board. Okay. They said that
Speaker 1: they can't talk about it right now. They're upset with
Speaker 1: each other again because Megan is upset with Abby because
Speaker 1: she didn't make a reservation at and they're they're really
Speaker 1: busy right now with the growth during COVID, So okay,
Speaker 1: never mind. There they said they want to leave. That's
Speaker 1: that's actually okay, so they're leaving anyway. Um, that was
Speaker 1: the door closing. But anyway, Wow, they said, they did say,
Speaker 1: they did say. Their energy says we shouldn't do it.
Speaker 1: I don't think. So Okay, that's good because I actually
Speaker 1: agree with them for once. So we thank you so
Speaker 1: much reader for listening. Thank you Abby and Megan for
Speaker 1: coming that. We didn't invite you guys, but it was
Speaker 1: nice that you showed up and look looked. Okay, they looked.
Speaker 1: It's usually customary best to end on a song, but
Speaker 1: I don't really do you think it's appropriate to end
Speaker 1: on a song on this episode? I think it is appropriate,
Speaker 1: and I think that um, you and I are actually
Speaker 1: going to um simultaneously start singing one song from the
Speaker 1: list that we think is the most iconic song cathartic.
Speaker 1: I should say, pick look at it right now, pick
Speaker 1: the one you feel is the most iconic, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to as well. And on three, we're gonna start
Speaker 1: singing that song. Let me look, let me look and
Speaker 1: I have got it, Got it three, two, one oh,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Good? Just nice? And the Challenges
Speaker 1: issue to our readers mash up, I'm on a roll.
Speaker 1: Was not ready to make nice Ready go
