Speaker 1: Look man, oh I see you? Why why? And look
Speaker 1: over there? How is that ulture? Yes? Goodness, last culture
Speaker 1: just calling and rain on us more like not even
Speaker 1: just me, because we're both in the same room, and
Speaker 1: if a cloud came and rained on us, it would
Speaker 1: have a very hard time doing so. Every part of
Speaker 1: that statement is so accurate. Wait did you say that?
Speaker 1: Did you just reveal that we were in the same room?
Speaker 1: I revealed, I went ahead and revealed. Was that? Okay? No,
Speaker 1: that's okay. I just I took my headphones off. Um,
Speaker 1: are you going to take yours off too? I'm also
Speaker 1: taking mind off because we can, I can put am
Speaker 1: I making you feel self conscious? No? No No, no, no no,
Speaker 1: It was just so basically for all the readers at home,
Speaker 1: we're kind of re establishing what it means to record
Speaker 1: a podcast in the same room again, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And so that means many things. It means
Speaker 1: certain audio has to get figured out, and we are
Speaker 1: just mere mortals here. We don't really know what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Is let me ask you something? Did it? It started
Speaker 1: to feel like the new normal that we were recording
Speaker 1: on Zoom, wasn't it? It It started to feel like the
Speaker 1: new normal and also, to be honest with you, I
Speaker 1: felt like the guests that we were getting were extreme
Speaker 1: because through very much so like I will, then I
Speaker 1: thought to myself, like, okay, so the quarantine right, the
Speaker 1: fact that it happened got us into survivor, and then
Speaker 1: that's what got us part and we would not have
Speaker 1: been able to have part if it weren't for COVID.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm happy COVID happened at all. You're not.
Speaker 1: You're not like Jennifer Aniston, that Hollywood reporter around table
Speaker 1: who was like, you know, COVID is actually a blessing
Speaker 1: and then and then it was like it was community, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was basically I'm not Jennifer Anniston right now.
Speaker 1: I am, however, saying that I am happy that we
Speaker 1: were able to have the kind of guests that we've had,
Speaker 1: which because we felt unmoored by the location of it
Speaker 1: all right, and it was like we only have to
Speaker 1: be in the same time, in the same not even
Speaker 1: the same place. We just have to be together at
Speaker 1: the same time. We just have to exist in the
Speaker 1: same world with internet really to get anyone we want,
Speaker 1: and we've asked some asks, we've had some masks. We've
Speaker 1: put some masks out, that's true. Um. Anyway, readers, I'm
Speaker 1: in l A. Now. This is a very long standing
Speaker 1: plan since March. Study and I we're gonna fly out
Speaker 1: here anyway. I'm in Los Angeles now for a little bit.
Speaker 1: This is a long standing plan. We're taking every precaution
Speaker 1: we can. Isn't that right. Let's just say that Bone
Speaker 1: and I are seated across the room from each other,
Speaker 1: and it's very um, sort of the fifties shades of
Speaker 1: gray boardroom scene where we are very much negotiating with
Speaker 1: each other from across the room and it is dimly
Speaker 1: lit and the stakes are high. It's very power couple.
Speaker 1: Web series story Matt Rogers and Study Green to Peter
Speaker 1: Kelly the Britain episode, which was modeled after that fifties
Speaker 1: shades scene. Now this is what it is. Thank you
Speaker 1: for that shout out to my work. It's wonderful. Um.
Speaker 1: You and I are Chloe and Holle and we're we're
Speaker 1: in the tennis courts shooting our music videos. Wow, we
Speaker 1: are very Chloe and Hell Chloe. Can I say, like
Speaker 1: out loud right now that we are the Chloe and
Speaker 1: Hollye of podcasting, and this is and that we were
Speaker 1: influenced by Beyonce and ye are a duo. We were
Speaker 1: influenced by Beyonce. We were raptured by a larger corporate
Speaker 1: structure also known as I Heart, also known as um Well,
Speaker 1: Will Ferrells are Beyonce. Will Ferrells really our Beyonce. And
Speaker 1: also we should say that, um, while is it Chloe
Speaker 1: or Halley that is in Little Mermaid, It's it's Hallian
Speaker 1: Calle is it in Little Mermaid? And we aspire to
Speaker 1: be in Little Mermaid as Flotsam and jetson. So there
Speaker 1: is like a familial thing here. We are all sisters.
Speaker 1: And I am so happy that my sister is here
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles with me because I can better take
Speaker 1: care of her and she me, and also we can
Speaker 1: do things like this very fun episode because I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know, and I know that you know.
Speaker 1: But that's the way I can transition into saying it's
Speaker 1: actually our two hundredth episode of Lost Cultures, and there's
Speaker 1: I mean, let's do the math. Two hundred times one
Speaker 1: point five. That's three hundred hours on average of us talking,
Speaker 1: hundreds of hours of us out there shooting the absolute shit,
Speaker 1: saying really crazy things. And that's the thing is, it's
Speaker 1: like people who are like I'm starting the podcast from
Speaker 1: the beginning, I'm like, oh, bitch, to be a journey.
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear us talking about how we can't wait
Speaker 1: for Hillary Clinton to win the damn president thing. Let's
Speaker 1: just say we, like the rest of the world, from
Speaker 1: March two thousand sixteen to November sixteen, were quite confident
Speaker 1: and now it'll it is like kind of crazy to think, like, um,
Speaker 1: how far not only like the podcast has come, but
Speaker 1: also the world has come and we've come individually, but
Speaker 1: also that we started this in a different world climate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like in almost every way. I mean yeah, And look
Speaker 1: now you and I are both completely radicalized, and um,
Speaker 1: we're radical girl, We're radical girls. We embrace the radicality.
Speaker 1: Let me just say, Matt Rodgers just mixed to me
Speaker 1: the strongest vodka Red Bull I've ever had, and it's
Speaker 1: such a tall, tall tumbler. Well there's two shots in
Speaker 1: it too, full shot girl. I have not had a
Speaker 1: full on cocktail in like a month. Well, this is
Speaker 1: part of the new normal, which is we have to
Speaker 1: find a way to drink too much, even though we're
Speaker 1: not going out, and this is just gonna be like,
Speaker 1: I'm excited that Boonen is here. It's our two hundred episode.
Speaker 1: I mixed us a little celebratory cocktail, and I'm very
Speaker 1: excited about it because this is not just the two episode.
Speaker 1: We've actually prepared, which we do not often do for
Speaker 1: last reasons. We have prepared a list and it's it's
Speaker 1: actually real culture number thirteen. Culture is lists absolutely and
Speaker 1: Bowen what is this list? So it's our two hundredth
Speaker 1: episode of Lost Cultures, just not counting those little, you know,
Speaker 1: ad swamps where we just do a little fifteen minute
Speaker 1: episode where we show you a preview of a Jaws
Speaker 1: theme podcast or whatever, the standalone episode. So in honor
Speaker 1: of this, we have prepared a list of the top
Speaker 1: two hundred moments in culture history. These are the top
Speaker 1: two hundred moments that have happened in culture history, as
Speaker 1: decided by Matt Rogers and Bowen Lost Culture Estes. We
Speaker 1: are a little bit drunk, but we feel very confident
Speaker 1: about what we've put on the list, that this is
Speaker 1: a definitive list that is empirically ordered. I would say, um,
Speaker 1: every spot on this list. Uh is a huge deal.
Speaker 1: It's culture. It's it's something that shaped the culture in
Speaker 1: a positive way from the beginning of recorded history. Yes,
Speaker 1: from our viewpoint, which is the empirical objective viewpoint, because
Speaker 1: I actually remember the first episode of Last Cultures and
Speaker 1: we're calling all the way back, we did say it.
Speaker 1: If we say it on this podcast, it is cannon.
Speaker 1: Did we say this, Yes, we we said we are
Speaker 1: the Lost cultures. Does I means we are the arbiters
Speaker 1: of culture and taste? Yes, I mean we We really
Speaker 1: evolved over the course of that first episode where we
Speaker 1: started out. I do believe we started out by saying
Speaker 1: we're the arbiter where the consultants of culture, culture consultants,
Speaker 1: which is not a phrase we have said since, not since,
Speaker 1: but I really want to harken back to that sort
Speaker 1: of um that ethos and then and then by the
Speaker 1: end of the episode, I guess we said that anything
Speaker 1: that we say is canon. Yeah. Well, even if it
Speaker 1: wasn't said, I'm saying we said. And what's important is
Speaker 1: that we as culture consultants have consulted with each other.
Speaker 1: And I don't trust anyone as much as I don't
Speaker 1: trust anyone as much as Matt ros and you know
Speaker 1: that I've been I have not been blowing smoke up
Speaker 1: You're asked these last couple of days since I've seen
Speaker 1: you in person, I was like, Matt Rodgers, He's he's
Speaker 1: he's he's the one, He's the culture Maven Well, and
Speaker 1: we know that Bowen Yang has, you know, not only
Speaker 1: created culture in his own right, but he is one
Speaker 1: of the refined minds of our generations. And this is
Speaker 1: us sitting in my apartment absolutely blowing smoke off each
Speaker 1: other's but holes tight or otherwise, hight or otherwise. And
Speaker 1: I have to say we have raised our drinks. And
Speaker 1: this is also going out to not only just our
Speaker 1: incredible team at my heart, but also shout out to
Speaker 1: Forever Dogs. Forever Dog. Shout out to Yes Go gave
Speaker 1: us our start and allowed us to do exactly what
Speaker 1: we wanted to do. Shout out to every single guest
Speaker 1: we have had on the podcast, thank you, and what else.
Speaker 1: Anyone that's come to our live shows I don't think
Speaker 1: so honey live, anyone that's bought a ticket, anyone who's
Speaker 1: performed for that matter, performed for that show. And so
Speaker 1: we have to say to all the readers, thank you,
Speaker 1: bitch for listening to last culture reasons, whether you're a
Speaker 1: recent person who started listening or you've been here from
Speaker 1: the very beginning. I remember we used to look at
Speaker 1: our listener account and be like, oh my god, sixty
Speaker 1: two people listen. Remember that. I remember the day that
Speaker 1: we broke three digits, three figures, and that was a
Speaker 1: big day. I think it was on the Aaron Jackson
Speaker 1: and Josh Haarp episode, the first And they'll be back,
Speaker 1: and they'll be back back. But suffices to say, we
Speaker 1: have accrued much knowledge over these years during the podcast,
Speaker 1: and we came in with our inherited knowledge is as
Speaker 1: homosexual gay man, and we have put together this list. Now.
Speaker 1: Matt alluded to earlier that we consulted with each other
Speaker 1: on this list, and that is true. We there were
Speaker 1: a couple of points of contention on this list. I
Speaker 1: wanted to take some stuff off. I wanted to add
Speaker 1: some stuff in. Matt said, no, we're keeping that note.
Speaker 1: We're we're not putting that in. Although I will say
Speaker 1: ultimately this was a pretty We only disagreed about two
Speaker 1: or items and like pretty much the rest of it is.
Speaker 1: Of course, but I'm saying this is a collaborative effort.
Speaker 1: This is an effort that we had to, yes, kind
Speaker 1: of watch ourselves on on an individual level and be like, actually,
Speaker 1: know if this is not important to me, this is
Speaker 1: important to him, or it's important to me and not
Speaker 1: to him, And I'm gonna fight for its importance. This
Speaker 1: is a beautiful list. I think it's some of our
Speaker 1: best work. I think it's some of our best work.
Speaker 1: And I think that everything here has a place here
Speaker 1: and belongs here. And I am excited to start the
Speaker 1: list mailing of the top two moments in pop culture history. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: let's begin with the very first thing we have to say.
Speaker 1: There is an honorable mention on the list. Honorable mentions.
Speaker 1: She did not make the cut. She almost made the
Speaker 1: cut Ladies and Gentlemen number two hundred and one, but
Speaker 1: doesn't really get a number because she did not make
Speaker 1: the list. It is Nicole Singer, give it up. I mean,
Speaker 1: I was listening to react today. What a comeback single,
Speaker 1: great comeback single. And you know, I've really respected her
Speaker 1: since buttons absolute Louis and you've you've had to respect
Speaker 1: her at some point, especially when she was Andrew lod
Speaker 1: Webber's firstwhile news and then they felt that they had
Speaker 1: a falling out. Well they you know, they had a
Speaker 1: falling out because she wanted to do The X Factor
Speaker 1: in the UK because she is famously an international talent
Speaker 1: show judge and we respect that, and you respect her
Speaker 1: because she's an international talent show judge. And she also
Speaker 1: can turn on musical theater. Yeah, oh yeah. And the
Speaker 1: voice you can't, you can't, you just can't beat it.
Speaker 1: I mean, her performance of Don't Cry for Me Argentina
Speaker 1: was absolutely amazing. And Andrew load Webber famously said, I
Speaker 1: mean the way she acted that amazing and she's incredible.
Speaker 1: But she did not she did not make the list.
Speaker 1: But let's not get going. Let's get started unless we
Speaker 1: have to blow past a lot of these items. But
Speaker 1: let's start with number two hundred. Let's say together for
Speaker 1: all of these number two hundred, when when Brittany said
Speaker 1: good Morning America. When Brittany came out and said good
Speaker 1: morning America in that voice, I mean I think that
Speaker 1: we all knew she was bad. She knew she was
Speaker 1: back promoting her new lead single against Me, good Morning America.
Speaker 1: And I promise you it'll be a morning to remember,
Speaker 1: see you soon that you know, and then the transition
Speaker 1: into would you hold it against me? I mean there
Speaker 1: there has a lot that can be said about Britney Spears.
Speaker 1: She is a revolutionary pop star. But when she came
Speaker 1: out and said good Morning America, I feel that America
Speaker 1: really woke up. She had just I mean it sounds
Speaker 1: like from her for the timber of her voice, it
Speaker 1: sounds like she had just swan dived into a pool,
Speaker 1: got a little flemmy in the nose and in the sinus.
Speaker 1: And then there was Brittany, you have to shoot your
Speaker 1: good Morning America promo right now. I mean it sounded
Speaker 1: like like a cartoonishly big hammer hit her right in
Speaker 1: the nose and broke it. I mean like, honestly, it was.
Speaker 1: We will never get answers really as to why it
Speaker 1: was the way it was, but I can say what
Speaker 1: answer to your question? Was this iconic? Yes? It was
Speaker 1: number two hundred on our list. Yes, let's move on
Speaker 1: to number is TL video. This was an amazing video,
Speaker 1: an amazing song that was later covered by Glee stars
Speaker 1: Lea Michelle, Lea Michelle and I believe Diana Agron Diana
Speaker 1: when they did I'm Pretty mashed up with I Feel
Speaker 1: Pretty from West Side Story iconic mash up. But of
Speaker 1: course we have to go back to the source, and
Speaker 1: that was the Unpretty video which started t Buzz, Chili
Speaker 1: and left Ie in some sort of future, some like
Speaker 1: sort of floating den. There was very much their vibe.
Speaker 1: It was off of fan mail, and of course we
Speaker 1: remember the theme was like Y two K digital and
Speaker 1: it's the video is sort of interspersed with cuts to
Speaker 1: a bunch of monitors that say things like probe searching
Speaker 1: or digital search or these very new concepts at the time,
Speaker 1: Like computers were huge at this time, and so what
Speaker 1: they did was they blended the idea of computers with
Speaker 1: the idea of and so they took those two things
Speaker 1: and put them together. And honestly, this is an absolute
Speaker 1: bob of a song. Its lyrics are beautiful and the
Speaker 1: video took it to the next level. You got acting
Speaker 1: from the girls and I love it when to pop
Speaker 1: star acts and we can't have tlc araser no no no,
Speaker 1: I mean, and we can't have a raiser over the
Speaker 1: fact that t Bas went on Celebrity Apprentice and was
Speaker 1: and had to make an impression for our current president.
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy? Oh my god, to think that these
Speaker 1: celebrities had to dance, and to think that t Bas
Speaker 1: had something like unpretty inside her and she had to
Speaker 1: like bow down to Trump. No, like please, Trump needs
Speaker 1: to have some respect for t Bas and by extension,
Speaker 1: Chili and left Ie, who we say, rest in peace.
Speaker 1: Left Eye, you are amazing in an icon. You're amazing
Speaker 1: in an nicon. What's the next one, man? Well, the
Speaker 1: next one hundred. Number one on our Top two hundred
Speaker 1: Items and Culture list is the Austin Powers Trilogy starring
Speaker 1: Mike Myers. I think we can say this was an
Speaker 1: incredible character, an incredible character for Mike Myers. What to
Speaker 1: be a well and you cannot to speak that it
Speaker 1: was a trilogy. Oh no, There were three films in
Speaker 1: this series, which makes it a trilogy by definition. And
Speaker 1: to think of the characters that were born not just
Speaker 1: from one film, but two and three films. You had
Speaker 1: Fat Bastard played by Mike Meyers, Mike, you had gold
Speaker 1: Member played by Mike Myers. You had Seth Green Scotty,
Speaker 1: you had Seth Green a Scotty. I mean, also, never
Speaker 1: forget probably the iconic character from it all is not
Speaker 1: even Austin, But I would say Dr Evil. Dr Evil
Speaker 1: played by Mike Myers play and to think he is
Speaker 1: out there playing multiple characters, this obviously as an actor
Speaker 1: who has been involved in sketches, and we know that
Speaker 1: from his origins at a Saturday night, Yes, which puts
Speaker 1: him in the family. Which puts him in the family,
Speaker 1: you know. And many people say Dr Evil is based
Speaker 1: on Mr Lorne Michaels can confirm, can neither confirm nor didn't?
Speaker 1: You have to wow? Okay? And also we have to
Speaker 1: shout out the amazing women of the franchise. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about Elizabeth Hurley there and Beyonce Knowles Carter. The fear
Speaker 1: in Bowen's eyes as he checked in with me that
Speaker 1: it was in fact Heather ground it was. I was
Speaker 1: sure that it was Heather. I wasn't sure if you,
Speaker 1: like had had left Heather Graham's mind behind back in
Speaker 1: two thousand three. Excuse me, this is the hangover rature.
Speaker 1: She had to come back, her incredible performance, her incredible
Speaker 1: versatile performance of performance in the Hangover and empowered performance.
Speaker 1: And I think we can all agree that Austin powers
Speaker 1: was comedically a formidable trilogy when and it's time. I'm
Speaker 1: saying you and I have talked about how I mean,
Speaker 1: I love Austin powers me too. It's I'm not lying,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to do a fourth is our energy
Speaker 1: mannic Right now, I am is hitting me sideways, it's
Speaker 1: fucking me sideways, and I am who maybe that someone's
Speaker 1: getting sideways. I'm amped, I'm not. Let's talk about Can
Speaker 1: we talk about something? What did the math? I have
Speaker 1: not had sex since December? You did? For a second,
Speaker 1: I thought you said I did meth. I said I
Speaker 1: didn't have math, and you have had sex since when
Speaker 1: I did meth? And I did the math and I
Speaker 1: have not had sex since December. We don't have to
Speaker 1: we can cut this. That's six months. Yeah, and we're
Speaker 1: not going to bitch bitch, Well, we'll have to find
Speaker 1: someone who's COVID free in Los Angeles for you. I
Speaker 1: I literally implore, like, it's going to be such a
Speaker 1: fabulous experience for the person fucking you end for you
Speaker 1: to have sex, so much pressure on them and on
Speaker 1: it doesn't need to be a lot of pressure, and
Speaker 1: you know what, it should be fun. It's actually real
Speaker 1: culture number eleven sex should be five. We are minutes
Speaker 1: into this episode, SIPs into our drinks and a hundred
Speaker 1: ninety seven away from our top number one moment and culture.
Speaker 1: So our number one nine seven moment of culture is
Speaker 1: ocean expedition slash exploring of our world. See that you
Speaker 1: put this in explain this. I think that once we
Speaker 1: just once we just of her, that we could go
Speaker 1: into the ocean and discover the bottom of the seas.
Speaker 1: That opened the door to so much culture Because think
Speaker 1: about all the culture we would not have if we
Speaker 1: hadn't been able to explore the seas of the world.
Speaker 1: You know, Titanic, which we're going to touch on later,
Speaker 1: we would never have Titanic fever finding Dory, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Finding Dory and also finding Nemo we have.
Speaker 1: There are so many things that are happening in the
Speaker 1: ocean that we needed. We required scientists to have the
Speaker 1: technology to go around the ocean to discover. Do you
Speaker 1: have any oceanographers marine biologists that you want to shout
Speaker 1: out right now? Yes, I would love to shout out
Speaker 1: Miss Frizzle who got in her Um. Of course, magic
Speaker 1: school Bus, which was famously was magic and dove to
Speaker 1: the bottom of the sea. And we should say, right now,
Speaker 1: as I shout her out, miss Frazzle did not make
Speaker 1: the top two hundred items. They're sorry we apolished her.
Speaker 1: Not that she didn't even in, but she just wasn't
Speaker 1: one of the top two hundred. She and like we're
Speaker 1: not talking about her like I I did not. I
Speaker 1: have not thought of his first and so long, and
Speaker 1: I can't say that I have either. It took you
Speaker 1: to bring her up for me to remember who she was.
Speaker 1: What is your favorite moment in ocean history. I think
Speaker 1: my favorite moment in ocean history was when I mean,
Speaker 1: we're to talk about it later. So I don't want
Speaker 1: to sort of shoot my load as it below the load,
Speaker 1: my load as it were. Um. But you know, just
Speaker 1: even the beginning of Titanic, I remember as a kid,
Speaker 1: when they were going down into the rusty rest of
Speaker 1: the ship. I was like, there's something about this that
Speaker 1: I left. I want to be down there. I want
Speaker 1: to I want to dig up the little things from
Speaker 1: the fireplace. And there's something there's something so great about that,
Speaker 1: and it just made me, you know, if if Titanic,
Speaker 1: if I followed that thread a little bit more. If
Speaker 1: I pulled on that a little bit more, I might
Speaker 1: have been, you know, the submarine biologist, you know who
Speaker 1: Bill Paxiston in that movie. I would have been like
Speaker 1: you might have been like Bill Paxiston in that movie.
Speaker 1: I've been able to discover many things. But we're an earring.
Speaker 1: He didn't ear piercing, remember exactly. He did in a
Speaker 1: shaggy haircut, and they cut a plot line where he
Speaker 1: fucked Susie Amos, who became James Cameron's But listen to
Speaker 1: stay tuned. You're gonna have to stay tuned on that one,
Speaker 1: because let's just say that we may not be done
Speaker 1: with Titanic Fever, sir. Not Okay, okay, next one, This
Speaker 1: next one is an It's Will Smith as a rap
Speaker 1: pop star who could forget. But you think there's a
Speaker 1: world where he was a pop star. He was a
Speaker 1: popular rap artist. I would go so far as to
Speaker 1: say that his rap was more pop music than it
Speaker 1: was like hard rap music. Not that rap music has
Speaker 1: to be hard, but obviously it got more play on
Speaker 1: pop radio than it did probably on urban radio. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't have those facts and fingers in
Speaker 1: front of me. But I think, you know, when someone
Speaker 1: like Will Smith is singing songs like the Wild Wild
Speaker 1: West is singing songs like Men in Black is singing
Speaker 1: songs like with It, you know, I'm thinking, this is
Speaker 1: someone who's appearing on pop radio with a pop sensibility.
Speaker 1: And he did really have an impact. He had a
Speaker 1: huge impact, I would say. I remember, I really did
Speaker 1: feel something. I never ended up seeing the movie, but
Speaker 1: when the Wildlad West trailer played on TV, I was like,
Speaker 1: there's something so cool about this and and wait, this
Speaker 1: is a Stevie Wonder song, Like you know, it just
Speaker 1: opened a lot of doors for me. Culturally. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you what you missed out on was some iconic
Speaker 1: Salamahayak culture because she is, of course the female lead
Speaker 1: in that little film, and there's great performances in it.
Speaker 1: It's a silly, silly movie, and you do see a
Speaker 1: little Will Smith. But in it, who who could dispute that?
Speaker 1: Who could who who could resist that? No one could resist,
Speaker 1: especially at that time Will Smith was a movie star
Speaker 1: and a music star, which gets lost gets lost? And
Speaker 1: this is the moment in culture that we wanted to
Speaker 1: sort of canonize in the list right. I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: anything else that he's done is worth mentioning on this list.
Speaker 1: Just him as a rap slash pop star, his musical remember,
Speaker 1: just the two of us. Oh my god, get out
Speaker 1: of here, two of us. We can make it. Which
Speaker 1: iconic culture speaking of iconic musical culture, bowing this one?
Speaker 1: Number one is the boy is Mine? It just it
Speaker 1: still holds up in a way that is that Not
Speaker 1: a lot of culture does that opening that dialogue? I
Speaker 1: mean what other songs have dialogue to open them? I
Speaker 1: mean none like this. What we get is a full
Speaker 1: scene with the two young women, of course, I'm speaking
Speaker 1: of Brandy and Monica. And would we be able to
Speaker 1: do the dialogue right now? Absolutely? Um? Okay, you're that's
Speaker 1: how that's how we identify. Okay, go excuse me. Can
Speaker 1: I please talk to you for a minute? Mm hmm sure.
Speaker 1: You know you look kind of familiar. Yeah you do too,
Speaker 1: But um, I just wanted to know. I want to
Speaker 1: I want to know, do you know somebody name? You
Speaker 1: know his name? Oh? Yeah, definitely, I know his name. Well,
Speaker 1: I just want to let you know that he's mine. No, no,
Speaker 1: he is mine. I have a question to ask you
Speaker 1: where do you think they were in that scene? What's
Speaker 1: the place? Because I have a clear answer from the
Speaker 1: very first moment I heard this as a child, I
Speaker 1: have a clear answer of where they were. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say they're at a public pool. Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 1: As an I was in elementary school at the time,
Speaker 1: and so for me, like the social hub in elementary
Speaker 1: school is the cafeteria. Even though so even though these
Speaker 1: were women in their late teen slash early twenties UM
Speaker 1: at the time of recording, I imagine them to be
Speaker 1: in a cafeteria setting of some source. So you did
Speaker 1: see them in sort of like a high school vibe.
Speaker 1: I thought it was high school, but even like, more
Speaker 1: specifically spatially, it was in the cafeteria of my elementary
Speaker 1: school in Montreal at the time. I get it. So
Speaker 1: I think for me, I kind of I associate this
Speaker 1: as being like a summer jam. Yes, and I think
Speaker 1: I saw like a pool, yeah, a pool because it
Speaker 1: was a summer and also just like them, sort of
Speaker 1: being at a place where one could be with their
Speaker 1: group of friends and another could be with their group
Speaker 1: of friends and where does that happen? But I haven't
Speaker 1: thought about it until this moment. That's isn't an interesting
Speaker 1: question to ask. So ask yourself, reader, where when you
Speaker 1: first listen to The Boy's Mind? Where did you think
Speaker 1: that Brandy and Monica were in the beginning? And also,
Speaker 1: any any song, any song that you hear, think, where
Speaker 1: is this happening there? It's it's actually a really culture
Speaker 1: number thirty. Any song that you think, where is this happening?
Speaker 1: Like on the album Chromatica. We can imagine that a
Speaker 1: lot of those songs are taking place on Chromatica. Yes,
Speaker 1: but the geopolitical thoughts around music I think are left
Speaker 1: out of the conversation right exactly. And you know, speaking
Speaker 1: of geopolitical thoughts, we are going to move along to
Speaker 1: um so so much so such a mind went into
Speaker 1: the creation of this movie. But we're not talking about
Speaker 1: the writing of the movie. We're talking about a specific
Speaker 1: performance in the movie. One four on our top two
Speaker 1: hundred is Rooney Mara in The Social Network. Now, why
Speaker 1: is this culturally important? Bow she is in that, the
Speaker 1: character of Erica in The Social Network, Mark Zuckerberg's fictional
Speaker 1: perhaps former girlfriend, is in I want to say, three
Speaker 1: scenes in the entire movie. But she makes an impact
Speaker 1: I mean she sets up the flaw of Mark Zuckerberg,
Speaker 1: which is that he is huboristic and whatever only is
Speaker 1: concerned about being cool, and she delivers iconic lines such
Speaker 1: as because I watched this movie the other night with
Speaker 1: my parents. It's on Netflix, and they loved it. They
Speaker 1: were like, Mark Zuckerberg is like this. I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: according to Erin's workin but the line the girls aren't
Speaker 1: going to not like you because you're a nerd. They're
Speaker 1: not going to like you because and then the Internet
Speaker 1: is not written in pencil. I think it's written in ink.
Speaker 1: I mean, she is really good at this, and I
Speaker 1: would say it's a tone setting for a fabulous movie.
Speaker 1: And also it kind of like did give birth to
Speaker 1: Rooney Mara David Finch rom Use because then she was
Speaker 1: famously she was Lizabeth Salander and she was famously on
Speaker 1: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which got her an
Speaker 1: Oscar nomination, And would she have done that had she
Speaker 1: not slaid so hard in the social network? Also iconic
Speaker 1: be you representation, and there's not enough. There's not enough.
Speaker 1: We don't see enough be you girls in film, and
Speaker 1: that's real culture number nine. We don't see enough girls
Speaker 1: in film. We're going so slow, we're we're only seven things.
Speaker 1: Then we're twenty seven bits. And Hans Hans, our producer, said,
Speaker 1: heads up for twenty seven minutes. And well, no one
Speaker 1: asked him. Let no one asked him, No one is
Speaker 1: he's doing a little cute, little um sort of smiley
Speaker 1: face with the tongue sticking out, but no one asked
Speaker 1: him what rule culture number I mean, this is not
Speaker 1: rutal culture. This is moment moment Number one is who
Speaker 1: wants to I won five thousand dollars and Studie Green
Speaker 1: was my phone, my phone a friend a plus one
Speaker 1: because they got rid of phone a friend. It was
Speaker 1: a very much not a lucrative moment, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: entertaining moment. And Chris Harrison shook her hand very hard.
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison did a Trump shake on my hand where
Speaker 1: he shook it and pulled me into a certain dominance
Speaker 1: over me. And you can find it online and I
Speaker 1: am not lying, And okay, let's move on to number
Speaker 1: snatch game perform. Wanted you to come up and suck
Speaker 1: me in the ass sometime. I think the undisputed best
Speaker 1: snatch game performance ever followed very closely by jinx is
Speaker 1: Little Lady. Absolutely, I would. And really what this does,
Speaker 1: This Alaska's May West moment on the list really represents
Speaker 1: all snatch games because it is a moment of culture.
Speaker 1: It's a moment of culture. So we're moving forward. Number
Speaker 1: one on the list of top two moments in culture history.
Speaker 1: It's the game tag You know what you love it?
Speaker 1: You played it likely with many girls. They made a
Speaker 1: movie about it. Yes, And it's the game of when
Speaker 1: you are running around and you tag some with your
Speaker 1: hands and they become quote it. Yes, it's actually real culture.
Speaker 1: Number four, when you are tagged, you are, you become
Speaker 1: quote unquote. It's let's just keep going. Number one nine
Speaker 1: The Jaws Ride opens at Universal Studios. Now, this was
Speaker 1: an iconic moment in my personal culture and I think
Speaker 1: the culture of many, which was you could board a
Speaker 1: ship in the Universal Studios in Amity Arbor and that
Speaker 1: ship would be repeatedly attacked by the villainous shark Jaws.
Speaker 1: And how it Jaws mete its demise It would bite
Speaker 1: onto an electrocuted wire. Well, yes, it would bite onto
Speaker 1: the electrocuted wire and explode in flames. It would then
Speaker 1: arrived at the surface of the water as a charred mess,
Speaker 1: and then it launches at the boat one final time.
Speaker 1: The skipper shoots a shotgun that it finally dies, and um,
Speaker 1: that is how you survived the Menace of Jaws. And
Speaker 1: I can say here and now it no longer exists,
Speaker 1: but for the one in Japan. Yes, but you've got
Speaker 1: to go out there in Japan if you want to
Speaker 1: ride it. Otherwise I just can't help you. We're going
Speaker 1: to go there some day very soon. Once say, okay,
Speaker 1: one is Mario? Oh my god, who hasn't played this?
Speaker 1: Hasn't played this one? You love it? You love it?
Speaker 1: And who are you usually when you play? I'm usually
Speaker 1: a peach in the old school games, But in the
Speaker 1: New School games, I like to be a warrio. I
Speaker 1: like to be a toad At, So you like to
Speaker 1: be a warrior on a toad at. I am always
Speaker 1: going to be misstowed. You love mistowed. I love toad
Speaker 1: because I feel she was moving around the fastest. I
Speaker 1: love the kind of sounds she made, such as this, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I thought that that was so enthusiastic, And I
Speaker 1: loved her her freedom. I don't know why I'm calling
Speaker 1: could tote a female. I don't think totally has a
Speaker 1: job miss gender to tote is mail. You feel this
Speaker 1: one tote is Mail. There is a famously trans character
Speaker 1: in the Mario cannon, which is Burdo. Who is Burdo?
Speaker 1: I would I would say, I should say Birdo is trans.
Speaker 1: That's a real thing. Yes, she's she was assigned Mail
Speaker 1: at birth. And in the lore of the second Mario,
Speaker 1: like the whole thing was bird like back then. And
Speaker 1: this is like the rough Japanese translation, but it was
Speaker 1: Burdo thinks he's a girl. But then like Mario, Nintendo
Speaker 1: have like sort of grown along with the time socially
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, Burdo's trans is that serious? Serious?
Speaker 1: Look it up, like, oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 1: Moving on to one hundred, number one hundred. It's Vegas
Speaker 1: residence really made being in Vegas what it is, and
Speaker 1: she kept it for so long. She kept it going
Speaker 1: for something. It was the double e thing to do
Speaker 1: with your mother and when you were in Vegas. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and you know she's also kept those vocals up. We
Speaker 1: can see her with that mask on, that sort of
Speaker 1: saline mask with iconic culture. Is that image and we
Speaker 1: have to think Renee. We have to think Renee. We
Speaker 1: can't really get into how it's a little probb. It
Speaker 1: feels a little predatory to me that Renee, you know,
Speaker 1: went after Selene, you went there. You really we have
Speaker 1: to it's we got to talk about these things. We love.
Speaker 1: We love it. Selene loved him. Um, but you know,
Speaker 1: we've got a question Renee's motives. That's certainly an odd relationship,
Speaker 1: but one that did stand the test of time and um,
Speaker 1: she was with him until his dying day. And you know, Selene,
Speaker 1: we thank you for your incredible talent, the way you
Speaker 1: touch of the world. And we remember Renee, even though
Speaker 1: we have questions about the genesis of the relationship. But
Speaker 1: that's really none of our business, is it. French Canadian queen,
Speaker 1: French Canadian queen. We just bring it up. Um, We're
Speaker 1: just bring it up. We bring it up, and that's
Speaker 1: our roles to bring it up. Now, bowen. One number
Speaker 1: Nadia achieving a perfect ten and gymnastics had never been
Speaker 1: done before, and then she did it so many times
Speaker 1: at that Olympics. You know she received over six top
Speaker 1: ten score ten perfect tense. You know this off the
Speaker 1: top of your head, I looked it up actually today
Speaker 1: because I was thinking about putting it on the list,
Speaker 1: and then I saw that you had already added it,
Speaker 1: and I thought, Okay, we are simpatico because I also
Speaker 1: just recently watched the documentary athlete A on Netflix, which
Speaker 1: is a startling watch but I think an important watch,
Speaker 1: and they talked about how Nadia was like the prototype
Speaker 1: for that young, young, young girl that they created into
Speaker 1: like an Olympics monster the world over, because China's fucked
Speaker 1: up with no completely fucked and I mean the fact
Speaker 1: of the matter is like we have to have a
Speaker 1: serious looked at the way we are sort of grooming
Speaker 1: these young girls to be these these machine athletes, because oh,
Speaker 1: we see that in the US it kind of got
Speaker 1: a little out of control. And by a little control,
Speaker 1: I mean a lot out of control. The doctor was
Speaker 1: a sexual predator. So, oh my god. But was it
Speaker 1: an achievement that Nadia's got those tens? Yes, when it
Speaker 1: was a moment in culture. Let's go to one A six,
Speaker 1: what is this shell? The shining Wow, we all remember
Speaker 1: her running about that house with the knife. I mean
Speaker 1: the screams, the most iconic screaming film history. Oh, can
Speaker 1: you do it? It's pretty good. Sorry, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Literally our engineer Dug I know, his head absolutely exploded
Speaker 1: on that one. But she was giving you and Stanley
Speaker 1: Kubrick was I mean psychologically torturing this poor woman. Impact
Speaker 1: on her because Mr Vall, we hope she's doing well now,
Speaker 1: but you know, things took a turn. I'm those were
Speaker 1: the glory days of Shelley. But now like she's like
Speaker 1: she was in an interview like a few years ago,
Speaker 1: just like she's in a bad way. She um you know.
Speaker 1: I I think we got an amazing performance out of her,
Speaker 1: But at what cost? At what cost did great culture?
Speaker 1: Let's keep going, Okay, So number one eighty five is
Speaker 1: the name Amanda Culture. So there are so many millions
Speaker 1: of women across America are named Amanda. And this is
Speaker 1: a name that, you know, very similar to the name Chris.
Speaker 1: I think with men, Amanda has really taken over. And
Speaker 1: Amanda has absolutely revolutionized the Hollywood industry because every publicist
Speaker 1: was named Amanda. Yes, many managers and agents named Amanda,
Speaker 1: and some talent named Amanda. Some talent is named Amanda.
Speaker 1: I would say that Amanda made a huge impact on
Speaker 1: the culture. But not even just in showbiz. Let's not
Speaker 1: limited to show biz. No, I would say in classroom,
Speaker 1: in elementary school, classrooms, everywhere where, there were at least
Speaker 1: four Amanda's in every class. Amanda. Really when we were
Speaker 1: growing up, it really took the world by storm. From
Speaker 1: the years nineteen eight seven to nine two, they were
Speaker 1: approximately a billion Amanda's. A billion Amanda's who are now
Speaker 1: in positions of middle management and even executive leadership. And
Speaker 1: you cannot dispute Amanda, but you know, we don't forget
Speaker 1: the Amandas that have been left behind, you know. And
Speaker 1: and some Amanda's um they feel that they must shorten
Speaker 1: their name to Mandy, and we're thinking of them. We're
Speaker 1: thinking of them, and we are not going to tell
Speaker 1: you what to do either way. But you know, just
Speaker 1: to go back to your roots. You're an Amanda. You
Speaker 1: have our support. Number one hundred eighty four on our
Speaker 1: top two hundred list. Dakota Fanning sets a child actress precedent,
Speaker 1: and it's eaten by her own sister l Who could
Speaker 1: forget when Dakota Fanning really set the tone for child
Speaker 1: actresses and then was eaten by her own sister l
Speaker 1: Fanna Yeah, what do you think was the last great
Speaker 1: Dakota Fanning work. I want to say it's Uptown Girls.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it's Uptown Girls and World War
Speaker 1: World World, World War of the World. Where are the
Speaker 1: roles she was? I mean, excellent. If you can hold
Speaker 1: your own opposite Tom Cruise, Oh my god, you're really something.
Speaker 1: You are a real talent if you can hold your
Speaker 1: own off against that crazy man. But let's not forget.
Speaker 1: I mean, once upon a time in Hollywood she played.
Speaker 1: I didn't see this. She's phenomenal. Well, she's an incredible talent.
Speaker 1: She's an incredible talent, and you know that she consistently
Speaker 1: works in television. Now on that show with um with Evans,
Speaker 1: I watched this show. Who is like fully gay? By
Speaker 1: the way, I didn't realize that. Oh my god. No,
Speaker 1: he's like literally the hottest and he's very gay on
Speaker 1: his Instagram And he said this thing on Pride where
Speaker 1: he posed his boyfriend, and I didn't realize he had
Speaker 1: come out. And then I realized maybe he never did,
Speaker 1: which I love, which, oh god, he didn't have to
Speaker 1: publicize it too much. Oh, here we go. Someone wrote
Speaker 1: the alienist Angel of Darkness so what we've got here
Speaker 1: is Hans has come in and a huge bold made
Speaker 1: us know that the series that's a coded Fanning is
Speaker 1: in is called the Alienist. But we of course remember
Speaker 1: her best from her incredible form performances in Uptown Girls.
Speaker 1: I Am Sam, I Am Sam. Member of that movie.
Speaker 1: She did this scary movie with Robert de Niro, Hide
Speaker 1: and Seek, that was shocking, shocking. Wait, we have to
Speaker 1: talk about L. We're ignoring the l of it all
Speaker 1: and she completely ate her own sister. I mean L
Speaker 1: came in and was in Maleficent one end two. L
Speaker 1: was coming in as a child actress, and she was
Speaker 1: more of a teen like now she's in the Great
Speaker 1: getting amazing notices, but like Super eight into into Um.
Speaker 1: She was a kid in super She was a kid
Speaker 1: in super Ate at that UM that that movie, that
Speaker 1: Sofia couple of movie. She was incredible and the Begot
Speaker 1: very funny, very funny. In the Beguild. She's really come
Speaker 1: out and also twenty century women don't forget women. She's
Speaker 1: so good. She's got the damn resume and Dakota used
Speaker 1: to have the resume. But that's what happens when you
Speaker 1: said a precedent is your own sister might eat you.
Speaker 1: But we're saying that Dakota is still very much established
Speaker 1: and working on very good projects. She is a gold standard.
Speaker 1: She's just not sort of um. She couldn't have stayed
Speaker 1: a child forever. Yeah, I mean, well, you know, I
Speaker 1: hope that she comes back with an adult role. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: So when number one is the Real House of Pa.
Speaker 1: You've got Karen, You've got Hug, You've got Giselle. Oh oh,
Speaker 1: We've got an amazing cast, and also real drama, real steaks,
Speaker 1: and honestly, the other franchises need to take a page
Speaker 1: out of the Potomac book. Scale it back, get human drama,
Speaker 1: real drama, and honestly, we need a full reboot of
Speaker 1: these other franchises. And I'm not afraid to say it
Speaker 1: on this podcast. Nothing is doing what Potomac is doing,
Speaker 1: and for that it gets listed on our Number three
Speaker 1: on top two hundred moments of culture history is the
Speaker 1: is the cocktail hitting you? Yes? Number one two is
Speaker 1: Rosie Perez dancing the right on this specifically in the
Speaker 1: opening credits, to do the right thing. Obviously a huge
Speaker 1: movie seminal movie one of Spike Lee's best works. But
Speaker 1: Rosie Perez Dancing to Fight the Power Um huge. I
Speaker 1: mean what a huge moments, sexual, powerful, political, all at once.
Speaker 1: And you couldn't have had it with anyone else but
Speaker 1: Mrs Rosie Perez, who went on to do great things
Speaker 1: and she was an Oscar nominee for the film Fearless
Speaker 1: and we respect. Number one eight one is Adam Lambert
Speaker 1: and Clay a a K. Lambert and claymate culture a
Speaker 1: k a. Middle aged women love. I think enough has
Speaker 1: been said about that, and we speak for itself. Number
Speaker 1: one Jane Workouts because she's most commonly I think known
Speaker 1: as an actress and an activist, but we know her
Speaker 1: primarily as a bund of steel queen, a woman in
Speaker 1: five acts, a woman with buns of steel. Oh please,
Speaker 1: revolutionizing the way white women got their skinny little tight booties. Yes,
Speaker 1: and it was a revolution. It was not televised, but
Speaker 1: on tape. Oh, the revolution will be on tape. It's
Speaker 1: actually a real culture. Number two hundred, The revolution will
Speaker 1: be on tape if Jan Fonda had anything to say
Speaker 1: about it is the second half of Gone Girl, the
Speaker 1: book Girl, When You, When You, when that twist hit you,
Speaker 1: that she was still alive. Spoiler alert, I've never had
Speaker 1: more fun while the cool girl monologue, Oh that was writing.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Gillian flanned you served it up on that one.
Speaker 1: Thank you, and and Viv getting recast on Fresh Friends. Now,
Speaker 1: why did this happen? And why is it important that
Speaker 1: we comment on it? And you know there's no time
Speaker 1: we're gonna move on to one hundred seventy seven, number
Speaker 1: one seventies seven Emily Blond take out work. And this
Speaker 1: was Emily Blonde absolutely entering the main stage and you
Speaker 1: were like, who is this woman? Is she really British
Speaker 1: because she's laying on this accent and thick But then
Speaker 1: you find out, oh, she really is British. But the
Speaker 1: moments in that movie I love my job, I love
Speaker 1: my job, I joined job. And also you can never
Speaker 1: forget only one stomach flew away from my goal weight.
Speaker 1: I have patrick amazing, unbelievable. I mean, listen, Emily Blonde.
Speaker 1: We have her today because of her Golden Globe nominated
Speaker 1: work of the Divorce Product and we hashtag stam to
Speaker 1: wait before we move on. Remember when her and Anne
Speaker 1: Hathaway president of the Oscars for Mayor all that year
Speaker 1: and it was a whole bit and it was like
Speaker 1: funnier than any you know, any comedy, any comedy I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. It was funnier than any comedy I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: In Emily Blond, I'll never forget when she when she
Speaker 1: snaps her fingers like you tell Anne Hath the way
Speaker 1: to go into the room. So good, so good, so good.
Speaker 1: So speaking of the ladies who are high fashion, we
Speaker 1: have number one hundred seventy six Rihanna at Wow the
Speaker 1: met Ball Gala. Bowen Yanga is feeling has Red Bull Vodka. Now,
Speaker 1: what are some incredible looks of Rihanna at the Mecca.
Speaker 1: I'm of course always remembering her yellow moment with that
Speaker 1: huge circular train. Oh my god. We always remember the
Speaker 1: Pope outfit, papal paple um, the Catholic imagination theme. Of course,
Speaker 1: we remember so much Rihanna. She is the number one
Speaker 1: met Galla moment. She is the staple. And remember she
Speaker 1: is out there, you know, not necessarily making music, but
Speaker 1: she has pivoted to fashion in a way that is controversial,
Speaker 1: but we respect. I'm for it. I'm all for it.
Speaker 1: I'm for it. Okay. So one hundred seventy five, every
Speaker 1: time Kenny died on Park and they say, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you killed bastard, you bastard. It was really Cartmon who
Speaker 1: said you can. And remember when every kid in elementary
Speaker 1: school was doing their Cartman voice. I remember this so
Speaker 1: so so vividly. And I remember moving from Montreal to
Speaker 1: Colorado and then all the kids in the third grade
Speaker 1: being like, well, you're moving to where they where they
Speaker 1: do South Park, That's where South Park is. And I
Speaker 1: was like, that actually gave me a lot of cool
Speaker 1: capital right as I was leaving. And so there we go.
Speaker 1: That's local culture. And now one seventy four is the
Speaker 1: Big Bang to be the beginning of our universe is
Speaker 1: the Big Bang, which was a huge I don't how
Speaker 1: did it happen. Um, I think it happened like one Adam,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of got sucked up and then started
Speaker 1: the whole and then and then the universe started to expand.
Speaker 1: Well thank god, well, thank god, I mean you really can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have the Big Bang to thank for all of
Speaker 1: the us. We really do, wouldn't you say, I mean,
Speaker 1: we would not be sitting here without the Big Bang.
Speaker 1: And so I definitely pour out some respect to ha Alright,
Speaker 1: so this is one seventy three. This is Kate Notes
Speaker 1: on a scandal saying you want to bar I just
Speaker 1: think a screenplay that we remember. Yes, Number one seventy
Speaker 1: two is claymation technology. Claymation technology. Now this is the
Speaker 1: act of sort of making little clay figures and sort
Speaker 1: of making them move. And then we get amazing things
Speaker 1: like Chicken Run. Like Chicken Run darring mel Gibson. We
Speaker 1: get I forgot that he was in that, and he
Speaker 1: was just dropped from the Chicken Run sequel for all
Speaker 1: of his resurfaced anti semitic and when he was just
Speaker 1: dropped from the Chicken Run sequel, part of the news
Speaker 1: that kind of maybe got lost in the mel Gibson
Speaker 1: news cycle of it all after Winona writer decided to
Speaker 1: speak out again, thankfully, is that they were good at DreamWorks.
Speaker 1: Was I think going to do another Chicken Run with
Speaker 1: mel Gibson attached, like some twenty years later? But it's like,
Speaker 1: we don't have we can't have mel Gibson in movies anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't think we can have mel Gibson and film anymore.
Speaker 1: Technology stands as the number one seventy two, but we're
Speaker 1: happy we have claimation. Of course, Rudolph, Rudolph, I think
Speaker 1: I think it qualifies. Okay, So number one hundred seventy
Speaker 1: one is Nicole's Pitman's American accent as seen in Big
Speaker 1: Little Lies, as seen in many films, are American accent
Speaker 1: is very American. I would say it's very Australian. Wow,
Speaker 1: I would say it's very Australian learning American. There you go,
Speaker 1: and that's the perfect middle grounds. And one hundred seventy
Speaker 1: is American accent. Yes, of course it's very stressed. You know.
Speaker 1: You can hear this in you know such films as
Speaker 1: Revolutionary Road six, films as Steve Jobs, and you know
Speaker 1: Titanic which stay tuned, stay tuned, actually know Steve Jobs.
Speaker 1: She played, like, ah, yes, yes, I don't know why
Speaker 1: I said Steve Jobs. There were some interesting accent work
Speaker 1: going on in there, and that Oscar nominated performance. Of course,
Speaker 1: one hundred sixty nine on our list is American accent.
Speaker 1: You're so infuriating. I can't even come up with the line.
Speaker 1: I think women have lives. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: the full line. She definitely is American in those films.
Speaker 1: Outside of the films, she's decidedly not. And we see
Speaker 1: that sort of dialogue between Sarsha, between Nicole, between Kate,
Speaker 1: but for none, for none of them, do I think?
Speaker 1: I don't think the accident work takes away from the
Speaker 1: performance exactly. And you know what three talents, three huge
Speaker 1: white women talents. Yeah, and so speaking of talents and
Speaker 1: white women, number one is Christine Apple and all of
Speaker 1: her many projects. Can you speak to some of these
Speaker 1: projects that Christine Applegate has been involved, you know, as
Speaker 1: someone who's still hasn't seemed dead to me, I still
Speaker 1: appreciate this. Hold on, let me say, married with Children huge, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Anchor man Legend, Ron Burgundy, come on, iconic, And Samantha
Speaker 1: be Samantha Samantha not Samantha b Smanthody is famously someone else.
Speaker 1: We also have um the incredible bad Moms, Bad Moms,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, who could forget just and honestly, if
Speaker 1: no one has seen dead to me out there, and
Speaker 1: some have, it's not like no one has seen it,
Speaker 1: but you have to check it out. Dead to me
Speaker 1: is culture, and of course also culture is Linda Cardalini,
Speaker 1: who unfortunately did not but we do shout her out
Speaker 1: on sixty seven Christmas, Well, could you even have culture
Speaker 1: without Christmas? I don't think you could have culture without Christmas.
Speaker 1: For Christmas to have its own genre of music, it
Speaker 1: might as well be country. You know, Oh, it might
Speaker 1: as well be country. It's actually a rule of culture
Speaker 1: number fifty. Christmas might as well. My country is not
Speaker 1: on the left, it's not on the last country. Music
Speaker 1: did not make it, did not make it, but Christmas
Speaker 1: as a season, as a holiday, as a vibe, definitely
Speaker 1: made it. Because you know, what affects so many people
Speaker 1: in terms of you know, and I hate to say it,
Speaker 1: but the capitalist sort of machines. Yes, you know, it's
Speaker 1: like saying like, you can't you can't be like I
Speaker 1: don't see color in a racist society, even though it's
Speaker 1: a social construct. Capitalism is a social construct. You can't
Speaker 1: say I don't believe in money, um, but you can
Speaker 1: and you can't say I don't believe in Christmas because
Speaker 1: we live in a Christmas culture. We live actually in
Speaker 1: a Christmas culture. And actually, if you really think about
Speaker 1: how many months out of the year Christmas decides it's
Speaker 1: optimal culture, it's really crazy. And we need to be
Speaker 1: talking about it, and I say, where's that is when
Speaker 1: the French judge was not fair towards the Canadian skaters.
Speaker 1: You remember this, I actually don't. And you put this
Speaker 1: on the list tonight. Oh my god. This is when
Speaker 1: the Canadians doubles figures skaters were absolutely incredible when they
Speaker 1: go this is years ago and there was doubles figure
Speaker 1: skating and the Russian couple beat them, even though the
Speaker 1: Canadian figure skaters are absolutely slate it. And then you
Speaker 1: found out it came out that the French judge had
Speaker 1: a biased vote and it was a little bit of
Speaker 1: a fix going in, so they gave them co gold medals.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe you of Canadian culture
Speaker 1: don't remember when the Canadian figure skaters got the shop.
Speaker 1: Why isn't there a movie optioned about that? Well, we
Speaker 1: should write it. And that's the thing is like, when
Speaker 1: there's not a movie of things you have you have
Speaker 1: tote it. And that's a rule culture number seventeen. When
Speaker 1: there's not a movie of things, you have to write them.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to skills conversations debate. I mean it's
Speaker 1: a tales all the time, people debating what's better Eminem's
Speaker 1: for skittles? Where do you stand? I stand firmly on
Speaker 1: the side of my eminem sisters. Okay, what do you
Speaker 1: say as someone who enjoys sweets and sugary sweets over chocolate.
Speaker 1: I'm a Skittles girl, and I love skittles and I
Speaker 1: always will the beginning of a new conflict between us.
Speaker 1: The beginning let's move on to this is Jonas inventing
Speaker 1: the polio vaccine Gone Fish. Tell us about Miss sal
Speaker 1: Miss Salk was successful in the concept of noculating your
Speaker 1: immune system with a weaker version of a virus such
Speaker 1: as polio, such as coronavirus. And this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a thing that sort of lifts as all, hopefully out
Speaker 1: of the current squalor that we're in. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: let's not get too used to this, yep. Where the
Speaker 1: goal is to get out of this situation with the
Speaker 1: help of multiple vaccines, several of them in phase three
Speaker 1: trials at the moment of this recording in late June.
Speaker 1: And you know, we will not achieve herd immunity if
Speaker 1: we don't if if, if enough people do not get vaccinated.
Speaker 1: So let's we have to beat back this tide of
Speaker 1: the anti vax movement and make sure that everyone gets
Speaker 1: equitable access to a vaccine once it is invented. Number
Speaker 1: one sixty three is big Old Meg the Stallion absolutely
Speaker 1: burst onto the scene Hot Girl Summer, indeed Hot Girl Lifetime,
Speaker 1: more like how Girl Lifetime. We're like, we would not
Speaker 1: have Hot Girl Summer, we would not have none fast
Speaker 1: Ship or the Savage Dream Mix or um Her Girls.
Speaker 1: I mean this was this was to me the single
Speaker 1: that's that launched Megan's career because I would agree And
Speaker 1: this is the first one you turned to my attention,
Speaker 1: and I knew that you were serious about it because
Speaker 1: of the way you squealed, and you are a squiller
Speaker 1: for Megan and I am too. Can you can you
Speaker 1: just tell the listeners that I was in on the
Speaker 1: ground floor with Megan. I will I can confirm to
Speaker 1: the listeners. Boon Yang was one of the first to
Speaker 1: even be speaking about Megan v. Stallion in the way
Speaker 1: that we all are. You know, I'm just saying like
Speaker 1: you need to respect just like we need to respect.
Speaker 1: Number one sixty two Joe Millionaire. This, of course, was
Speaker 1: the reality show where several contestants thought that the suitor
Speaker 1: they were competing for was a millionaire named Joe Millionaire.
Speaker 1: His name I think was actually Evan. It was revealed
Speaker 1: to the ladies that, um, he actually was not a
Speaker 1: millionaire after all. He was like a simple farm person
Speaker 1: and the woman he picked, Zora, had to deal with
Speaker 1: that and they did not make it. They did not
Speaker 1: make it, but there was a lot of tension in
Speaker 1: that final episode because the Door first said no, rejected
Speaker 1: the proposal, and then said she came back and said yes.
Speaker 1: I think probably because she was trapped in a situation
Speaker 1: and coerced by producers. I'd be very curious to see
Speaker 1: how the Doors doing now. Unfortunately we won't have that
Speaker 1: answer in this episode, but perhaps in a future installment.
Speaker 1: Number one sixty one is art Pop. I mean an
Speaker 1: amazing album, I think, ahead of its time, ahead of
Speaker 1: its time. As our friend Sam Taggart has written about
Speaker 1: in Vulture, it is her Pinkerton. It is the album
Speaker 1: that was released to critical panning, and then over time
Speaker 1: has developed a nice petina and we've all sort of
Speaker 1: we listened back to it and this is actually genius.
Speaker 1: Applause is amazing. We were too hard on it. Donna
Speaker 1: Tella is incredible. G u Y watched the video again.
Speaker 1: It's the last time Kyle Richards and Lisavanner pop were
Speaker 1: able to be in the same place, and um, do
Speaker 1: what you Want unfortunately a great song, but we have
Speaker 1: the Christina Aguilera version, Yes we Do, which is a
Speaker 1: definitive version which I believe is superior. And also never
Speaker 1: forget the ballad Dope Dope, Oh No. I like she
Speaker 1: performed indentures that the YouTube music Festidium and number one
Speaker 1: sixty is another song. It's called this song Somewhere Over
Speaker 1: This famously appeared in the film Wizard of Oz and
Speaker 1: went on to have a quiet and impact on the culture.
Speaker 1: It's you know, we we we get to graft a
Speaker 1: lot of queer meaning onto the song. Now, um, you
Speaker 1: know the song also in terms of the filmic narrative
Speaker 1: aspect of it, you know, sets up Dorothy's want and
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's sort of gets us into Act two
Speaker 1: of the movie, which is when she lands in Oz
Speaker 1: when she said it's a favorite of American Idol contestants
Speaker 1: Kimberly Locker and I'm so happy that when we talk
Speaker 1: about Somewhere over the Rainbow, we also say the name
Speaker 1: Kimberly lock Um number one. Kelly Rowland saying she's the
Speaker 1: second lead vocalist of the group. Huge, I mean when
Speaker 1: she proclaimed that she was the second lead vocalist of
Speaker 1: the group and she earned that look from Beyonce. This
Speaker 1: is a YouTube video that you can all look up.
Speaker 1: Just type in Kelly Rowland second lead vocalist other group.
Speaker 1: You will not be upset that you did. Kelly Roland
Speaker 1: invented a sort of role in groups and musical groups,
Speaker 1: called the second lead vocalist of the group. Even though
Speaker 1: the term lead vocalist would imply that there's only one
Speaker 1: second lead vocalist means would would would require us to
Speaker 1: believe there are two lead vocalists and one is sort
Speaker 1: of Maine and one a second. And honestly, she did
Speaker 1: correctly label herself she was the second LEO and this
Speaker 1: was didn't she say this during the first generation of
Speaker 1: Destiny's Child? She said it when there were still four
Speaker 1: when there was four, so in a way you can
Speaker 1: be like if it was just her, Michelle and Beyonce,
Speaker 1: and she was like, I'm the second lea focus of
Speaker 1: the group. That's a huge fu you to Michelle, But
Speaker 1: what she's saying it when there's four, that's a funk
Speaker 1: you to LaTavia LaToya. Yes, obviously, I mean she didn't
Speaker 1: mean any harm. But at that point, could she have
Speaker 1: done anything correctly? Probably not. Probably was held to be
Speaker 1: Kelly Rowland. Number one is USA South Carolina answer to
Speaker 1: her debate question, Um, I forget what it was. It
Speaker 1: was about textbooks or something. Well, she definitely mentioned textbooks
Speaker 1: and how there needs to be more education in schools,
Speaker 1: but please look up on YouTube miss team USA South
Speaker 1: Carolina to answer epically bad. Yes, you all know what.
Speaker 1: You all love it, don't you. We've got to move
Speaker 1: on because this is almost an hour in and we
Speaker 1: are nowhere near getting to the top love the list.
Speaker 1: So Number one hard for these seven is share disappearance
Speaker 1: on Will and Grace. What chemistry with Sean Hayes. She
Speaker 1: has chemistry with Sean Grace. You know that was thirty
Speaker 1: minutes of work door to door and she was incredible
Speaker 1: And that was that was famously where we developed a
Speaker 1: vocabulary around a good term term and also she said
Speaker 1: snap out of it and earned a check. Number one
Speaker 1: is Simon and Randy. Remember these three, these were the
Speaker 1: three in a lot of ways the original three yes,
Speaker 1: and they are really the three yes. Now going forward,
Speaker 1: we have one when Keen and ll did the orange
Speaker 1: tell us why it's so important? Well, this was so
Speaker 1: good because it was a reliable bit in the show
Speaker 1: Keenan and Kelly that happened I think every episode, I
Speaker 1: think was every episode then very close to and really
Speaker 1: what Kel was asking was who loves orange soda? And
Speaker 1: by the time the bit was over, you knew what
Speaker 1: the answer was, Kell, Kell loves soda? Is it true?
Speaker 1: He do? He? Do? He? Do you? And this actually
Speaker 1: really did enforce upon us in a young communic age
Speaker 1: that really comedy is commitment and its repetition. It's commitment,
Speaker 1: it's repetition, it's volume, volume, and it's saying things in
Speaker 1: a voice. And we should just say that keenan Kel
Speaker 1: are sketch comedy legends and icons. They are the legendary
Speaker 1: to the legendary too. Let's keep going. Speaking of legendary too,
Speaker 1: Number one is Mr and Mrs Smith. Oh they met
Speaker 1: on the side of that film. And boy, let me
Speaker 1: tell you it was caputz for Brad Pitt and Jennifer
Speaker 1: Anison at that point because brand Jelina stepped out to
Speaker 1: the scene and they were the power couple for a
Speaker 1: little while there. Don't you love that this huge Hollywood
Speaker 1: are a couple of ment on the set of a
Speaker 1: fine movie. I think it's a good movie, and I
Speaker 1: think if you saw it again you would actually agree
Speaker 1: with me. And it is hashtag and early Carrie Washington vehicle.
Speaker 1: You're right, it's an early Carry Washington vehicle. If you
Speaker 1: look up any sort of screenwriting, like treatment examples Mr
Speaker 1: and Mrs Smith. For some reason, the treatment is available
Speaker 1: and everyone sort of gets to read that and model
Speaker 1: their treatments in their outlines. Number one of the three
Speaker 1: is the great book, not the movie. The book. The book.
Speaker 1: This is a very important book. If you're in high school,
Speaker 1: you probably read it. Yes, you're in high school. You
Speaker 1: don't need to see the movie. No one needs to
Speaker 1: see the movie. It's not Bosslerman's finest work. I don't
Speaker 1: think that would be Mulan Rouge. I would say that
Speaker 1: would be Mulan Rouge. I think the book is great.
Speaker 1: I think the book is short. It's you can read
Speaker 1: it in one night when sitting. Um. We love that
Speaker 1: cover with the eyes, Oh, the cover with the eyes.
Speaker 1: Now one fifty two is Jamila Jamal's multiple slash con
Speaker 1: conflicting stories about chased by bees. Now, can you elaborate
Speaker 1: on this? She has multiple accounts where she talks about
Speaker 1: the kind of very uh distressing experience of being chased
Speaker 1: by bees out onto a street with moving cars. The
Speaker 1: setting is vary from um like temporally and um geographically
Speaker 1: that she was in England and she was young and teenager,
Speaker 1: or that she was or that this happened two weeks
Speaker 1: ago outside the u N when the Pakistani delegation was visiting,
Speaker 1: or or something like that. I mean, there's just a
Speaker 1: lot of stories of Jamie and jamil firsthand accounts of
Speaker 1: her being chased by bees onto a street, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's I think it's iconic culture. I think it's moving
Speaker 1: the culture forward. We get to sort of talk about
Speaker 1: bees and their place in our celebrities lives. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would agree, but I also I'm concerned for her,
Speaker 1: and I wish that Jamilla would stay inside. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm concerned for her if every time she leaves her
Speaker 1: home that she has a be encounter. I hope that
Speaker 1: she finds a way, you know, to really do a
Speaker 1: lot of work from inside. I bet quarantine has actually
Speaker 1: been kind of good for her because you can sort
Speaker 1: of sit at the computer and not worry about bees,
Speaker 1: unless you know they're so obtested with her that they're
Speaker 1: making a weight into her home, which I really hope
Speaker 1: is not the case. And we're wishing, wishing the best
Speaker 1: for your Jamilia, and we're thinking of we love you, Jamila,
Speaker 1: And this is number is speaking of bees. Honeys keep Jamila,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna want to eat any honey cheos because
Speaker 1: these are famously honey nuts cherios. I mean their cheerios
Speaker 1: that are covered in honey nut. What do you think
Speaker 1: honey nut is um? I think it's when bees come.
Speaker 1: Now we're going to move on to one D fifty Witches.
Speaker 1: Natalie and Meals relationship in Black Swan. Wow, who could
Speaker 1: forget the film Black Swan and the relationship they're in
Speaker 1: between Natalie and Milia. Natalie really kind of playing the
Speaker 1: role of the white swan here and then mel playing
Speaker 1: the role of the titular black Swan, and the question
Speaker 1: loving in the air, will Natalie have what it takes
Speaker 1: to sort of become the black Swan and what does
Speaker 1: that mean for Mela. Now, do you think Mila is
Speaker 1: dead by the end of the movie. I would say
Speaker 1: that she's a lie. Natalie has sort of envisioned the
Speaker 1: Black Swan and the Mila that comes to her later
Speaker 1: on in the movie spoiler alert, who she stabs and
Speaker 1: puts in the closet. Do you remember this part? No,
Speaker 1: because you remember at the end of the movie, Mila
Speaker 1: appears and it's we're to assume as the audience that
Speaker 1: Mila was never really there antagonizing Natalie was all in
Speaker 1: her head. But Natalie is definitively dead by the end
Speaker 1: of the movie. I would say, I think that's what
Speaker 1: the director, Darren Aronofsky and Natalie would want to get across.
Speaker 1: But you know it's open to insterpretation, like a lot
Speaker 1: of film. And you know, all of our readers watch
Speaker 1: Black Swan and let us know what you think about
Speaker 1: the ending we want to hear. Let's move on to
Speaker 1: one nine, which is Michelle Kwan never winning gold medal. No,
Speaker 1: she never was that gold medalist. She's the Amy Adams
Speaker 1: glen Close of the Olympic, Susan Lucci of the Olympics. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, Susan Luci ended up winning her at me.
Speaker 1: Then you can't even say she's this. You can't even say,
Speaker 1: like Jackie Cox can't even say she's the Susan Lucci
Speaker 1: of drag No. So so Michelle, you know, we all
Speaker 1: thought Salt Lake City was her year, and it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It really was that. The fact that was Sarah Hughes
Speaker 1: is year. We end You're the Serra Hughes and I'm
Speaker 1: the Michelle Kwan of podcasting. Yeah yeah, I guess that
Speaker 1: makes me a gold medal winner while you're just in
Speaker 1: squaw absolutely with my with my Mani Silvers. This is
Speaker 1: she endorsed Biden too early. Alright, So number one hundred
Speaker 1: eight is Meryl Streets acting. She is an amazing act
Speaker 1: I think she's one of the better actors. I think
Speaker 1: that she's up there amongst the best actors that we have.
Speaker 1: What's her favorite Meryl Street performance? I got to say,
Speaker 1: I love Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady, and she
Speaker 1: won an Oscar for it, you know, and it deserved
Speaker 1: Oscar and it wasn't at all batty or it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was one of my favorite films. One of those
Speaker 1: dynamic films I've ever seen is the Iron Lady, the
Speaker 1: most exciting films where so much happens and you get
Speaker 1: to see such a thrilling portrayal of dementia. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: I don't know mine. Um Okay, So one is the
Speaker 1: upside Down in the Rain and Spider Man. Wow, remember this,
Speaker 1: it was happening in the rain. It was upside down.
Speaker 1: Kirsten Dunch told me, why are with a secret? Good body?
Speaker 1: She was writing that like tank Top, you can see
Speaker 1: her in n applause. They were absolutely just two people
Speaker 1: in love and they were really dating, kissing in an alleyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know has come out and said that it
Speaker 1: was actually was very hard too because the water kept
Speaker 1: going up his nose. Hashtag comedic moment. Hashtag comedic moment.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And that's such a fun moment. Okay. So,
Speaker 1: so the next two moments in history are a tie.
Speaker 1: It's a tie, so tied for one and one six
Speaker 1: are Michelle Yo in Crazy Rich Asians crowding Tiger in
Speaker 1: a Dragon. I guess we should just talk about MICHELLEO
Speaker 1: as a whole because these two performances are very different,
Speaker 1: very different, very dynamic, and we have to we have
Speaker 1: to remind the reader in case they don't know already
Speaker 1: that we met her one time. We met her when
Speaker 1: she was doing press first Star Trek when we were
Speaker 1: interviewing her at Vulture Fest, and she was very cool,
Speaker 1: very cool, and she had a lot of reverence from
Speaker 1: her castmates, and we and I even slept in a
Speaker 1: quick thing. And this was before Crazy Rotations came out.
Speaker 1: But I was like, I'm so excited for Crazy rot Asians.
Speaker 1: I like, I kind of crossed the boundary and I
Speaker 1: feel weird about it. I don't feel you did, but
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, it's all I said
Speaker 1: was it's very inspiring to me. And I looked during
Speaker 1: her eye and she and she her facial expression changed
Speaker 1: in a way that was like she registered what I
Speaker 1: was saying to her as an Asian person and she
Speaker 1: was like thank you. And I really felt it. She
Speaker 1: is a dream. You saw that movement, right, Oh? I
Speaker 1: saw it. I mean we were both there. I mean
Speaker 1: it was very obvious that she was the international star
Speaker 1: in the room and she was treated as such, which
Speaker 1: we love. Number one hundred is Kale's designation as a
Speaker 1: super food. Kale has really had a moment. I would
Speaker 1: say Kle as soon as they said it's a super food.
Speaker 1: I mean that was like the Debbie tump ball and
Speaker 1: he saw Kale everywhere. Oh, and I think that you
Speaker 1: know what song sounded different after that cut in, Oh,
Speaker 1: I think that became about Kale and you were like,
Speaker 1: this is about Klee. But I said seven eleven because
Speaker 1: Beyonce wore that famous sweatshirt that said Kale on it.
Speaker 1: She was iconic a mats and that sweatshirt, and then
Speaker 1: you all of a sudden you saw people wearing it,
Speaker 1: people like you, people like me. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: much right, I have different Beyonce. You have a Kale.
Speaker 1: I'll have a kick by have a kick by the
Speaker 1: pound one. Sorry, you know me better. Number onety three
Speaker 1: is let me blow your mind by even Stefan, do
Speaker 1: do do drop your asses shake? No, drop your glasses shake.
Speaker 1: They screwed up like you and Stefani. This was like
Speaker 1: the first solo venture man iconic. Her first solo venture
Speaker 1: at Side of Your Doubt was a feature on something
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, that was one of the first times
Speaker 1: we saw and just went Stefani in a way that
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, maybe there's going to be a moment
Speaker 1: here and and there was indeed a moment. There wasn't
Speaker 1: in a moment it because it hasn't held up, it
Speaker 1: does not make our cultural list. But Halliback Girl, despite
Speaker 1: being a moment, the album L A M B. Unfortunately
Speaker 1: we cannot condone the horror Juku girls of it all,
Speaker 1: and it does not even make it into the top
Speaker 1: four on our list. Although I will say the closest
Speaker 1: sort of candidate that win Stefani would have had on
Speaker 1: this list was on the song make Me Like You,
Speaker 1: which came out, Um, she just has a hook in
Speaker 1: there or like a motif I would say, where she
Speaker 1: keeps going, oh god, remember that. I actually have to
Speaker 1: say something, Yes, I remember that, and I take it back.
Speaker 1: She is on the list. Well we'll we'll find out
Speaker 1: why she's on the list, but for now, Number one two,
Speaker 1: Ryan Philipps. But it cruel intention. This is a great as.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing ass. We saw it in the pool
Speaker 1: light and you know who else saw it, Weatherspoon. And
Speaker 1: she had to marry she mary that she married that ass.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to marry that as. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: to marry that ass. Okay, so then a number hundred
Speaker 1: forty one is the blank that that has monologue. Can
Speaker 1: you do it? The clearance, that that has the international occasions,
Speaker 1: that that has the profile, that that has a huge moment,
Speaker 1: and it can apply to so much. Thank you in Navarro,
Speaker 1: Thank you. One of the only top Republicans, one of
Speaker 1: the only acceptable Republicans. No, she's the only one. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't even know she's identifying as a Republican anymore.
Speaker 1: I mean, she might identify as conservative, but she's certainly
Speaker 1: not going along. She's a trump pater. She's voting red.
Speaker 1: What she's voting red, she's like voting for like red
Speaker 1: cannon like Republican. We'll see about that, okay. Number one
Speaker 1: hundred forty is disco. An amazing movement in music, a
Speaker 1: huge movement in music. Thank you, Disco, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Number one nine is Terry Hatcheris and Clark. Really it
Speaker 1: was her first emergence on the scene. Was her incredible
Speaker 1: sort of performance as Lewis Lane and Lewis and Clark.
Speaker 1: This is before Desperate Housewives, this is before Desperate Housewives.
Speaker 1: I remember watching Lewis and Clark as a child and
Speaker 1: being like, this is the most beautiful woman I've ever
Speaker 1: seen in my life. She's certainly that. She's certainly that
Speaker 1: number one. Dty eight is the World of Pandora, A
Speaker 1: Disney's Animal Kingdom. I mean, we've gotten our life here.
Speaker 1: We've eaten at what was that beautiful steakhouse that we've
Speaker 1: even see that wasn't in Animal Kingdom. It was called Tiffins.
Speaker 1: But I mean is that wasn't at the World of Pandora.
Speaker 1: It's right when you it's on the way to World
Speaker 1: of pandas well. This is this I'm looking you in
Speaker 1: the eyes and telling you Tiffins is in a different
Speaker 1: area of the park, but it's the closest. It's the
Speaker 1: closest three dollar sign restaurant and eating eatery in Animal Kingdom.
Speaker 1: That's closest to Pandora. It is the nicest restaurant there,
Speaker 1: but it is not in the World of Pandora. And
Speaker 1: we are talking about the World of Pandora, right, Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the World of Pandora. It's got the beautiful plans,
Speaker 1: the bioluminescent plans. I'm happy that you enjoyed Tiffins. I
Speaker 1: love because I have booked that for us and I
Speaker 1: want to say I went to Tiffins with Michael Hartney
Speaker 1: with Wow, You've been to Tiffins multiple times. I've been
Speaker 1: to Tiffins with Michael Hartney, I've been to Tiffins with
Speaker 1: um people, with Charlie Hankin of the probably everywhere we
Speaker 1: went for a job in Orlando, and then this was
Speaker 1: right when Pandora opened and we went to Animal Kingdom
Speaker 1: and we got our life at Tiffins. And we should
Speaker 1: say that Tiffins is great, but it is not on
Speaker 1: the list top two hundred things in culture. The world
Speaker 1: of Pandora is, and we don't have time to talk
Speaker 1: about it, don't unfortunately. Number one seven is Patty Harrison
Speaker 1: reveals Feud with Ellen podcast. Now, this was an incredible
Speaker 1: moment where we've had really a first celebrity feud unveiled
Speaker 1: on our podcast. This was a big deal and it
Speaker 1: kind of developed over Patties appearances on the podcast, where
Speaker 1: at first it was Ellen just being generally transphobic and
Speaker 1: Patty taking a shoe with that, and then on Patty's
Speaker 1: second appearance on the show, she talked about a specific
Speaker 1: incident where Ellen um murdered a lot of concert which
Speaker 1: is Patti's first her first night in her tour at
Speaker 1: Stockholm and flipped onto the stage and called Patty mini slurs.
Speaker 1: And we should all say, this is all quote unquote alleged.
Speaker 1: So this is an alleged feud, but that happened between
Speaker 1: pop stars Patty Harrison and now the generous and only
Speaker 1: she can confirm. But um, thank you Patty for being
Speaker 1: brave and thank you to share your story here on
Speaker 1: the podcast. UM. And number one hundred thirty six is
Speaker 1: Michelle Fiver as a cat woman and Batman returns. Who
Speaker 1: could forget what she got pushed out of that window
Speaker 1: by Christopher Walking and then she was licked alive by
Speaker 1: cats and became a supervillain really and and put together
Speaker 1: the most formfitting sort of costume that we've ever seen
Speaker 1: in supervillain history. Oh, unbelievable. She had to be sewn
Speaker 1: into the costume in real life. Just a little culture
Speaker 1: of fact there. So Number one d thirty five on
Speaker 1: the list is Marilyn Monroe and by extension, Smash, So
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have Smash the show the musical they're in
Speaker 1: without really Marilyn Monroe, who was a bombshell to the Bombshell,
Speaker 1: the namesake Bombshell and Smash with the musical television show
Speaker 1: that we would not have had had it not been
Speaker 1: for Marilyn Monrose existence. Some like it hot, more like
Speaker 1: we like it Maryland, We like it, Norma Jean. Let's
Speaker 1: keep going on. The motor roll Raiser, Now, the motor
Speaker 1: roll Eraser was a huge phone back in the day,
Speaker 1: the aspirational phone, in fact, the iPhone before they were iPhones.
Speaker 1: I mean it was the motor ill Eraser, the Sidekick,
Speaker 1: and BlackBerry all sort of swirling in the same pool.
Speaker 1: But as you know, in our lives and our sort
Speaker 1: of developments as non solvent financial, non financially solvent high
Speaker 1: school students, I mean, the motor role E Razor was
Speaker 1: the closest thing we could get to like status phone.
Speaker 1: When you say, was that the one that went pretty
Speaker 1: when you texted someone? It was like, I'm not sure. Okay,
Speaker 1: well we can move on a number one thirty three?
Speaker 1: Is Were you ever a kid? No, I was more
Speaker 1: like a tamagotchi girl. Okay, I respect that. What is
Speaker 1: neo pets to you? Neopets to me was kind of
Speaker 1: the first I understood that the internet could be a
Speaker 1: vessel for capitalism, where you know, if you had to stay,
Speaker 1: if you wanted your neo pet to stay at the
Speaker 1: nice hotel, you had to pay a huge amount of
Speaker 1: neo coins wherever the currency was. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is how the world works in real life, but
Speaker 1: it's on the internet and this made up world of animals.
Speaker 1: So it was an intro to capitalism for you, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and then therefore it makes it onto the list. It
Speaker 1: makes it on the list because you had to earn
Speaker 1: money by playing games with your pets to make them
Speaker 1: happy and to feed them, and if they weren't fed,
Speaker 1: then they would die and you would feel bad. It
Speaker 1: was just similar to Toma, similar to Tamagtcha, but with
Speaker 1: Tamagotchi there wasn't this whole economy around do you want
Speaker 1: to give your pet a massage, it has to make
Speaker 1: the nice massage place. Like the social status and the
Speaker 1: cast system of society as it were, was sort of
Speaker 1: grabbed onto the world of neopets, and you learned a
Speaker 1: lot as a kid. I so so really um Toma
Speaker 1: got you with more about life or death, and Pats
Speaker 1: was more about like a commercial society totally understand. Number
Speaker 1: one two is when people started saying slash typing l L.
Speaker 1: Now this has really taken ahold of the culture in
Speaker 1: a way that I don't think we could have anticipated
Speaker 1: in the beginnings of a O L instag messenger. L
Speaker 1: O L not only did it arrive in the scene
Speaker 1: in a big way, but it is here to stay.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got people saying l O L in
Speaker 1: real life. L O L has really lasted far beyond
Speaker 1: B R B or G two G T T y L.
Speaker 1: I mean, who says these thing? Cares about T T
Speaker 1: y L. We say L L all the time. It
Speaker 1: transcends demographics, that transcends age groups, that transcends race. What
Speaker 1: what can we say that transcends race? Not much? But
Speaker 1: l O L definitely does. L O L is used
Speaker 1: the world over. No. Number one one, speaking of you
Speaker 1: know sort of things technologically took the world of flame.
Speaker 1: This is the invention of gone all the days when
Speaker 1: you had to call someone later and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'll get you this money later. No, no, no, Now
Speaker 1: you can just text the girl the cash over the
Speaker 1: internet and there was no excuse. It's like, hey, you
Speaker 1: haven't venmoed me. You haven't fulfilled my venmo in a while.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Now you know when someone is troublesome in
Speaker 1: your life if they have not fulfilled your venmo. And
Speaker 1: I'm thinking actually of Bow and Yang for many years
Speaker 1: was a vanmo bandit you you still really take a
Speaker 1: long time to fulfill venmos. Okay, I'll cop to that now.
Speaker 1: Not not so rich rich woman. Number one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty is Sandra Wine winning Survivor Pearl Islands. A huge win.
Speaker 1: I mean a win that she could have won, she
Speaker 1: could have easily lost, but um, what's her face? Litl
Speaker 1: litl eliminated, eliminated once during the game, came back as
Speaker 1: an outcast that made it to the end. Really one
Speaker 1: of the first goats, if you will, really easy for
Speaker 1: Sandra to win, and she was a smart player, smart
Speaker 1: tratetic player. She's your girl, Sassy Sandra, and she won
Speaker 1: again herees versus villains. And this we really include on
Speaker 1: the list because it was the introduction of Sandra Dias
Speaker 1: Twine into the franchise up Survivor. But it was that
Speaker 1: Lil eliminated. It was that Little chose Santa to go
Speaker 1: to the top two and little eliminated fair play Johnny
Speaker 1: fair Play. And so at that point Sandra was like,
Speaker 1: I've got this. She really took her moment there. Number
Speaker 1: one is the actress Regina King and everything and everything
Speaker 1: she's in Watchman. If Bill Street could talk, never forget
Speaker 1: Miss Congeniality, to never forget Blonde, to a sequel Queen
Speaker 1: two to seven, never forget all the American crimes, I
Speaker 1: ever forget any of it. Jerry mc wire, Jerry McGuire,
Speaker 1: and we got to say we also met Regina King one, Yes,
Speaker 1: we did. Wasn't she the coolest person, coolest, best dressed person,
Speaker 1: best energy. Yes? And you this is before I Feel
Speaker 1: Streak talk came out. You brought it up and she
Speaker 1: I remember the look on her face when you said
Speaker 1: the words, and we're so excited that if fiel Stree
Speaker 1: could talk would come for that to come out. And
Speaker 1: she lit up and she was like thank you. She
Speaker 1: the look in her and her eyes was thank you
Speaker 1: for bringing this up. She was thankful for you. I
Speaker 1: don't have to reveal that I can remember clear as
Speaker 1: day that it was you who brought up if Bill
Speaker 1: Streak and I brought up seven seconds. I did not
Speaker 1: bring up a Filtre. Did you brought up both? No,
Speaker 1: I didn't know what it feel streeld Talk was at
Speaker 1: that time. You said that she had a new piece
Speaker 1: by James Baldwin that she was working. I gave you.
Speaker 1: I said, you have a new a movie based on
Speaker 1: a James Baldwin book, James Baldwin story. And then you
Speaker 1: said if fiel Street could talk, that is I probably
Speaker 1: did say that, but I want to give you credit
Speaker 1: to it because you did bring up that. But the
Speaker 1: thing is we actually recalled both things that she had
Speaker 1: won an award for because I said seven seconds and
Speaker 1: I said, we are putting into the atmosphere that Regina
Speaker 1: people will win another enmy day. She did, and we
Speaker 1: talked about if Bill Streak Top when she would later
Speaker 1: win an Oscar. So we did not know we were
Speaker 1: sitting in the midst of an Oscar winner and she
Speaker 1: had already won to I mean before that, we're you're
Speaker 1: going to be winning another Emmy, young girl, And she
Speaker 1: was like, well, thank you, I hope so, and then
Speaker 1: those hopes turned to reality. We stand, Regina King have
Speaker 1: from the very beginning. Thank you, Regina. Let's move on
Speaker 1: to number one. Another actress Alison Williams eating the cereal
Speaker 1: and get Out a huge scene. This scene really kind
Speaker 1: of shot her forward in my eyes as you know,
Speaker 1: someone to watch. Because we only knew her from Girls
Speaker 1: playing More any we were like, what's she all about?
Speaker 1: That she wasn't get out and the movie get Out
Speaker 1: does not work without that performance. We should say it
Speaker 1: was fun the way she ate that cereal and the
Speaker 1: cereal coming right after. You think the moment up until
Speaker 1: that point is when she's freaking out and then she
Speaker 1: has the car keys. She can't find the car keys,
Speaker 1: and then she has them and then her expression changes.
Speaker 1: But the moment is actually seeing the pictures of her
Speaker 1: with her former boyfriends who have been killed, eating the
Speaker 1: cheerio separately from the milk. Yes, an absolute queen of
Speaker 1: a scene. Queen of number is our interview and as
Speaker 1: subsequent feud. This was a low moment for us when
Speaker 1: we had what we thought was a really good interview
Speaker 1: with Tracy Morgan at Vulture Press and it went viral
Speaker 1: because he made some mess out of the Tiffany Hattrish
Speaker 1: of it all. You can go back and watch the
Speaker 1: video um And then based on that interview, Julie Chen
Speaker 1: said that we were rude for asking him about Tiffany Hattrich,
Speaker 1: which is almost like her saying that every time she's
Speaker 1: interviewed someone that she's never asked about a code star,
Speaker 1: which I defy Trulie Chen, and I say that is
Speaker 1: not true. And Julie Chen, when you lost your job
Speaker 1: in disgrace, we did not feel bad about it because
Speaker 1: you came for us in a moment a very bad
Speaker 1: sting in journalism, and we don't we don't feel bad.
Speaker 1: And Julie Chen, I mean, you're you're an apologist for
Speaker 1: a lot of terrible people. Let's just say that on
Speaker 1: the record. Let's just say that on the record. Honey.
Speaker 1: Let's keep going. Those big brother checks are keeping you
Speaker 1: warm anyway one is. And doubt saying Hulu, who could
Speaker 1: forget when and Down won an Emmy and said, Hulu,
Speaker 1: I haven't forgotten. Let's move on. When Game of Thrones
Speaker 1: could make dragons but not photoshop out a Starbucks cup,
Speaker 1: I mean there's not there's nothing that hasn't been said
Speaker 1: about the Starbucks cup. No Game of Thrones references are
Speaker 1: on this list. Just the fact that a Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones let a Starbucks cup sneak in there. I famously
Speaker 1: think it was on purpose because I have sat in
Speaker 1: editing rooms and to think that no one would catch
Speaker 1: that cup from shooting to editing to pop bushing is
Speaker 1: literally insane. I don't believe it, and I think they
Speaker 1: were trifling with us. That's that's a conspiracy. MAT's a truther.
Speaker 1: Let's keep going American America for in Sisterhood of the Traveling. This,
Speaker 1: of course, is when she threw the first brick at
Speaker 1: Bradley Wufford's house, which is something that we've covered before her.
Speaker 1: We love it, number one, Matt and on the View,
Speaker 1: we were famously on the View. We went to the
Speaker 1: View to go see Kelly Clarkson be on the View,
Speaker 1: and then they producers came out of to the audience
Speaker 1: and said, we're going to be surprising Kelly's number one fan.
Speaker 1: People who had given us tickets were well aware of that.
Speaker 1: I was in the audience. I thought they met me.
Speaker 1: Turns out they met someone else who allegedly Land who
Speaker 1: had lost like ninety pounds while listening to Kelly's music,
Speaker 1: and then he got free tickets to Kelly Clarkson's concert,
Speaker 1: which was devastating to hear about However, the real gag
Speaker 1: was when we were on Screw Yes, and you saw
Speaker 1: me being a little overcorrecting in my support for this
Speaker 1: boy who would just want tickets to this Kelly Clarkson show,
Speaker 1: and that Matt had this abject horror on his face
Speaker 1: that he had to watch someone else get there Kelly
Speaker 1: Clarkson fantasy fulfilled, And um, let's just say it didn't
Speaker 1: say well with me. I'm sorry, it did not say
Speaker 1: well with me. Number One Sutton Foster tap dancing and
Speaker 1: Anything Goes. She is an amazing talent, that Sutton, an
Speaker 1: amazing talent, that Sutton who has sung at so many
Speaker 1: Kennedy Center honors. We love her something. I mean when
Speaker 1: she tap danced and Anything Goes. On the Tony Awards,
Speaker 1: you said, how could you give it to anyone else?
Speaker 1: And we did and we didn't. She won that one.
Speaker 1: But I will say that I did see her in
Speaker 1: the musical Drowsy Chaperone, and she has a number called
Speaker 1: show Off and Then and I watched that at a
Speaker 1: young age and I said, she cannot lose the Tony
Speaker 1: and she did. So these Tony Awards are not a
Speaker 1: sure thing, no matter how well turn a performance that's true.
Speaker 1: That's true. Let's keep going to number one, KFC releasing
Speaker 1: the double Down. What is this poem? This is this
Speaker 1: is the KFC sand which where the two buns were
Speaker 1: chicken patties fried chicken patties, and it caused a big
Speaker 1: stir And I think we're still dealing with ramifications today
Speaker 1: fast food culture that we have to say, and honestly
Speaker 1: that McDonald's released them. Griddle did not make it, but
Speaker 1: KFC releasing the double Down did make it and make
Speaker 1: you understand. We're going to get a lot of sort
Speaker 1: of hate mail about this from our McDonald's queens and kings,
Speaker 1: but you know, please sit down. We are the culture
Speaker 1: where the culture now. The next is one and twenty
Speaker 1: Sherry Shepherd not knowing if the Earth is flat, you know,
Speaker 1: famously she was confronted on the view by saying, do
Speaker 1: you think the earth is flat? Will She said, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I wouldn't I would want to know how
Speaker 1: to feed my children. She said that something to that effect.
Speaker 1: She definitely redirected and she said, I may not know
Speaker 1: if the Earth is flat, but I am a good person,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, certainly a way to get her
Speaker 1: I actually respect that it's fire that Roger's school. If
Speaker 1: I don't know my words, but I do know my heart.
Speaker 1: I actually have a picture of Sherry Shepherd up in
Speaker 1: my personal museum. That's great. Saint Sherry. We call her
Speaker 1: especially a rule of culture. Number ninety s Sherry. We
Speaker 1: call her. Number is Jennifer Lawrence gay rights. No. Jennifer
Speaker 1: Lawrence has said a lot of things in her day,
Speaker 1: but when she said gay rights, that was culture. And
Speaker 1: now all the girls are trying to say gay rights
Speaker 1: with her right. Number one D eighteen Pon wasted accepting
Speaker 1: a Golden Globe. This is when she brought the cookies
Speaker 1: up off the table and handed out cookies on her
Speaker 1: way up to the Golden Globe. She could tell she
Speaker 1: was absolutely black out. But she won for her performance
Speaker 1: as cookie Lion, and she deserved that one absolutely. Number
Speaker 1: one seventeen is half the dress. Who could forget us
Speaker 1: arguing all about the dress. I was with you Times
Speaker 1: Square at a at a like a bodega buffet, and
Speaker 1: you thought it was black and blue, and I thought
Speaker 1: it was white and golden. I thought it was white
Speaker 1: and gold You were right, I was wrong, And it
Speaker 1: was really crazy to have an argument about that and
Speaker 1: it was and for me to be right. Number one
Speaker 1: hundred sixteen on our rule of top two hundred moments
Speaker 1: in culture history is the passing of the men. This
Speaker 1: gave women the right to vote and think it was
Speaker 1: about time and it was the beginning of us a
Speaker 1: voting rights reform. And thank you Susan B. Anthony for
Speaker 1: making this happen, and all the suffragets really thank you,
Speaker 1: which is Rosie and Elizabeth on the view. This beats
Speaker 1: out the passing of the nineteenth Amendment. When Rosie and
Speaker 1: Elizabeth fought on the view, this was a moment a culture.
Speaker 1: They went to that fabulous split screen and really they
Speaker 1: have not reconciled over this poem. And when they went
Speaker 1: to the split screen, you get see and you come
Speaker 1: into on this when Rosie, like Rosie, saw that they
Speaker 1: were going to the split screen, or was it Elizabeth
Speaker 1: who thought that they were going to It was Rosie
Speaker 1: who saw it and called it out wow, And that's
Speaker 1: when she quit. She said, I can't be having this.
Speaker 1: Someone who has moral clarity and and and and decisions
Speaker 1: based on that clarity. Huge. Yeah, Now we have number
Speaker 1: one hundred fourteen carry voiceover, and I had to wonder,
Speaker 1: is there more of an influential voiceover performance than this?
Speaker 1: I had to wonder that I had to wonder. I
Speaker 1: don't think there is. I would say this brought back
Speaker 1: to the voiceover as a worthy method of narration. Do
Speaker 1: you think that there would be an a Meredith Gray
Speaker 1: voice of were convention in Gray's Anatomy without sex in
Speaker 1: the City, Carry Bradshaw. I think that that's a really
Speaker 1: interesting question, and I would say no. I would say
Speaker 1: Carry Bradshaw and Sara Jessica Parker's performance as Carrie Bradshaw revolutionized, revitalized,
Speaker 1: and resurrected the voice over as a narrative device that
Speaker 1: we now have in Gray's Anatomy, which has a lead
Speaker 1: character named Meredith Gray. Let's keep going. This is number one.
Speaker 1: Lisa Lisa Coudro invented post It's monologue and Roman Michelle Wow.
Speaker 1: I mean when she talks about how she like used
Speaker 1: a specific kind of glue epoxy, you have to wonder
Speaker 1: did Lisa Coudo draw on her experience as a chemistry
Speaker 1: major at Vassar at Vassar and working for her father
Speaker 1: in some biotech company. Have you ever met Lisa Kudro.
Speaker 1: I have not met Have you met Lissa Coudro Never?
Speaker 1: When you do meet her, though, you should tell her
Speaker 1: that you majored in chemistry like her. I would love to.
Speaker 1: I mean, she's she's the best there is. I mean,
Speaker 1: we watched the Comeback season two the other the other day,
Speaker 1: like we watched the whole series, and it was just
Speaker 1: so unbelievable. Started all started all oh, you know, Sex
Speaker 1: in the City started it all in a different way,
Speaker 1: of course. Lea Lela Durham. I think it's Lena Dunham.
Speaker 1: That's what I said, Lena number one t when Thelma
Speaker 1: and Louise drove over the cliff huge, This was so huge,
Speaker 1: and that thunderbird went over that cliff, and that iconic
Speaker 1: soundtrack and those incredible performances of those two women Gina
Speaker 1: Davis and Susan Sarandon both nominated for Oscars in that film.
Speaker 1: A film that should be watched, watched absolutely, and a
Speaker 1: polarizing ending, but one that we stand by that it's
Speaker 1: an iconic ending because if this world couldn't handle them,
Speaker 1: this world didn't deserve them on that freeze frame ic iconic,
Speaker 1: Let's keep going one Dred eleven. Julia Roberts is huge mouth.
Speaker 1: You can hang a coat hanger in that mouth. Mouth,
Speaker 1: and that mouth was a hundred million wattage of smile
Speaker 1: and it got her all the roles in the early nineties,
Speaker 1: Mystic Pizza on Pretty Woman still Magnolia's woolf. The we're
Speaker 1: just saying the mouth was a big part of the
Speaker 1: appeal because that smile was amazing and you saw, you
Speaker 1: saw it all, and she could a moute through that
Speaker 1: math like no other. She's a star. I see, let's
Speaker 1: blast through these next ten and and cut to a break.
Speaker 1: What what do you say? I think that we are
Speaker 1: going to have to just have this be one episode
Speaker 1: and we're going to have to do a second episode,
Speaker 1: which is part two, I think, because there's just there's
Speaker 1: just no way this is gonna be too long. And
Speaker 1: I'm actually saying it on the mic to our producers
Speaker 1: that this is gonna have to be a two partner
Speaker 1: because I don't know how we thought we were going
Speaker 1: to get through two hundred moments of culture. It's it's
Speaker 1: the only it was the only option when it was
Speaker 1: the only option we had. It had to be two hundred,
Speaker 1: had we had it. We couldn't gloss over these moments. No,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna get through these next ten or next
Speaker 1: what is it next? Next ten, and then we're going
Speaker 1: to take a break, um, and we're gonna come back
Speaker 1: with another whole episode, which is the top one hundred
Speaker 1: moments of culture because we have done two hundred episodes
Speaker 1: of Last Cultures this, I mean, the only way to
Speaker 1: honor that sort of back hat aologue is with two moments.
Speaker 1: And I'm so happy we stopped everything to say that
Speaker 1: discovering in this moment, like we have discovered so much
Speaker 1: that will be doing two episodes of this because it's
Speaker 1: not logistically feasible to continue. Number one D ten lou
Speaker 1: Post light blue oscars dress a k A. The moment
Speaker 1: when she won her oscar firsts a slave and she
Speaker 1: had that light periwinkle blue dress. Zach Posing. I want
Speaker 1: to say, honestly, I want to say Zach Posing all
Speaker 1: the time, because you know that Zach Poson is my
Speaker 1: celebrity crush and he's DM you made that up. I
Speaker 1: kind of, for some reason thought that he that you
Speaker 1: would correspondence. Oh my god, I love Zach pos and
Speaker 1: I think he's so hot. But anyway, um, if it
Speaker 1: wasn't him that made this dress, and then god bless
Speaker 1: who did? God bless who did at this moment the
Speaker 1: way it moved as she hit center stage, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I mean just like Cinderella, that like a fairy tale.
Speaker 1: It looked so incredible on her, and she is a
Speaker 1: fashion icon and we need to say it loud and proud.

Speaker 1: Elizabeth Banks and Power Rain. She went for it with
Speaker 1: this one, a true villain Krispy Kream. You loved all
Speaker 1: the Crispy Cream line readings, and let's do it one too.
Speaker 1: Three How you could tell? The line in the script
Speaker 1: was how, and it came out as just like a
Speaker 1: sort of exasperated howel Yes, she was going for the
Speaker 1: Razzie with this one. I think she wanted to show
Speaker 1: up at the Razzy stage winning. But really she should
Speaker 1: have been nominated for an Oscar for a no holds
Speaker 1: barred performance as Rita Repulsa, who is, of course I
Speaker 1: think canonically Filipino, well, Japanese in the way that all
Speaker 1: of them were. I mean maybe Philippine, maybe some Pacific islander,
Speaker 1: Southeast Asian. Well, she's Elizabeth Banks. Now, she's Elizabeth Banks.
Speaker 1: Now let's keep going. Okay, this is number one hundred
Speaker 1: and seven. This is Whitney Houston when she went and
Speaker 1: who could forget when the drum made that sound and
Speaker 1: she unleashed the note, you will never forget where you
Speaker 1: were when you saw that. I'll never forget that, and
Speaker 1: you know famously this was a song written and first
Speaker 1: performed by Dolly Parton, who could have known that it
Speaker 1: would be done? So I kindly by Whitney, the Houston,
Speaker 1: the Voice, the Voice, Let's keep going to the drums
Speaker 1: and Lose my Breath by Destiny's Child of course, But wow, percussion, fish,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, percussion for your absolute nerves and it
Speaker 1: just lights up a spark in you, doesn't it? It
Speaker 1: really does. And I knew this was going to be
Speaker 1: a huge hit when I first heard it. I had
Speaker 1: a moment of hope when Lose my Breath came out
Speaker 1: and was like, they're back together. Well they they've never
Speaker 1: broken up, I know, but like you know, dangerously in love.
Speaker 1: It was the moment and everyone's like, Beyonce, that's the moment,
Speaker 1: and I remember loving that damn album. But then kind
Speaker 1: of secretly morning Destiny's Child does mean? Does this mean
Speaker 1: Siny's Child is over? But then Lose my Breath came
Speaker 1: out and Destiny Fulfield came out, and I was like,
Speaker 1: all hope is not lost. Not only did Destiny of
Speaker 1: the Field come out, I believe it is their best work.
Speaker 1: I believe it's their best album as a trio. Kelly
Speaker 1: Roland has gone on record to say that it is
Speaker 1: her favorite. It's like like like they asked you, like,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite Destiny's Child song? And she says, every
Speaker 1: song off of Destiny's Destiny I mean, never forget, Girl, Girl,
Speaker 1: never forget, If never forget, I mean cater to you,
Speaker 1: to you, t shirt sleep, Yes, come on, I mean

Speaker 1: Beg's Well that was on an earlier album, but yes,
Speaker 1: all Emotions was on Survivor. Yes, it was I Accept
Speaker 1: Your Apology. UM number one. The baby boom after World
Speaker 1: War Two. Okay, so, okay boomer. We wouldn't have the
Speaker 1: phrase okay boomer without, of course, the baby boom. Now,
Speaker 1: this is a period of time before and after and
Speaker 1: during the war when men were not spending a lot
Speaker 1: of time with their wives and someone they did, they
Speaker 1: got them absolutely pregnant. This you led to a huge
Speaker 1: surge in births during the time period of fifties. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and it led to it coincided with um. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of social programs being put into affecting the
Speaker 1: United States and economic prosperity, so it all could have
Speaker 1: worked out when it helped assert the US's global dominance. Yes,
Speaker 1: and um, we should say, um, I am ya teacher,
Speaker 1: and I knew this knowledge of um World War two,
Speaker 1: and I should be celebrated. I not put this in,
Speaker 1: and I think that should be celebrated for putting this in.
Speaker 1: Number one is the longevity of hang. Talk about longevity.
Speaker 1: I think Pank has had one of the most enviable
Speaker 1: careers in music. I mean once she burst onto the
Speaker 1: scene with there you Go, look in Pizza Foe just
Speaker 1: because I lets you go, There you Go, talking about
Speaker 1: she want me back? Oh my god, I mean so
Speaker 1: much versatility and what is powerful voice? I mean misunderstood
Speaker 1: the album, misunderstood the album. I mean raise your glass,
Speaker 1: So raise your glass if you are wrong, and all
Speaker 1: the ways iconic freak, pink, iconic freak, iconic absolute freak.
Speaker 1: We will never never be anything but loud and nitty gritty,
Speaker 1: dirty gritty, dirty little freak little freaks, So raise your glass.

Speaker 1: pretty happy. Let's play perdun not like I go Natty. Yes,
Speaker 1: never forget, never forget number one hundred and three. And
Speaker 1: you better believe that I watched every single one of
Speaker 1: her confirmation hearings in the Senate. I mean, she is
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court justice. Do you know this story? AOC
Speaker 1: tells this story. But so during her Senate hearings when
Speaker 1: she was nominated by Barack Obama, one of our presidents,
Speaker 1: remember her? Remember her? Some publicists or some like media
Speaker 1: consultants or media consults are like, you should wear a
Speaker 1: nude neil polish so that you come off more neutral
Speaker 1: and more sort of not as like loud and vibrant
Speaker 1: and sort of like you're not making this impression that
Speaker 1: you can control. She said, no, she said fuck that.
Speaker 1: And you see her wearing bright red nail pology. Isn't that?
Speaker 1: I love that story iconic. Also, have you seen Knock
Speaker 1: Down the House? No, I need to see it. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, there's such that it. Knocked Down the House
Speaker 1: is amazing. And also it's like, there's so much great
Speaker 1: stuff going on. Netflix has amazing documentaries. You guys, come on,
Speaker 1: you gotta give it up. Rule of Culture number nine documentaries, guys. Um.
Speaker 1: But she in her very first scene talks about she's
Speaker 1: getting ready, and this is before she's even filed to run,
Speaker 1: Like this camera crew followed her from the beginning. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And she's getting ready and she's like, there's no way
Speaker 1: to know how you should get ready as a female
Speaker 1: running for president, because either you're in a full suit
Speaker 1: or you're in that like drag of light colored shirt
Speaker 1: with the sleeves rolled up to the elbow. But there's
Speaker 1: no prototype of how a woman who is a politician
Speaker 1: running for office looks, and so you have to think
Speaker 1: about the way you present yourself. And it was just
Speaker 1: like she also talks about in the yeah, in the
Speaker 1: documentary and it's really moving. So and she was our speaker,
Speaker 1: our speaker at graduation. Yes she was. She spoke in
Speaker 1: our graduation and was amazing. In the first word she
Speaker 1: said was this is awesome. Do you remember that? I
Speaker 1: remember that. And she was like a girl like me
Speaker 1: from the Bronx speaking to you at Yankees. I mean
Speaker 1: they made a whole big deal about being at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1: Our graduation was at Yankee Stadium. Um, okay. So the
Speaker 1: next one is number one D and two Beanie Baby Culture. Wow. Wow, Um,
Speaker 1: I mean beanie babies are still going strong. I saw
Speaker 1: one at the airport on my way into l A.
Speaker 1: It was a very perilous environment, but the beanie babies
Speaker 1: were a grounding force. And also, you know what you
Speaker 1: can never forget is the fact that, you know, beanie
Speaker 1: baby culture also was Princess Diana culture because it sort
Speaker 1: of gave us, you know, the um beanie baby that
Speaker 1: was most famous, which is the Diana baby, which was
Speaker 1: the Diana baby. And also never forget we had our
Speaker 1: peace Bear, yes, and we also had um the dolphins,
Speaker 1: the dolphins. Many different things contributed to um beanie baby
Speaker 1: culture and ultimately we were told they would come to
Speaker 1: be worth a lot of money and that remains to
Speaker 1: be seen. But speaking of toys that were good for
Speaker 1: Christmas time, number one and one is Furby a big comeback,
Speaker 1: I would say, in the meme culture, I'm seeing a
Speaker 1: lot of furbies. Not surprised to hear that. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's such crazy, crazy animals. I'll never forget what My
Speaker 1: uncle got me a Furbye three or four years too late.
Speaker 1: And it was like three or four years after the
Speaker 1: Furby craze, and I was like, oh my God, and
Speaker 1: then I just had this white furby acting a fool
Speaker 1: in my closet. I feel actually very bad because even
Speaker 1: though it was a toy with no soul, it really
Speaker 1: did a good job of making you feel it did
Speaker 1: have a soul and feelings because they would be crying, hysteric,
Speaker 1: randomly begging for attention in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: Oh honey, terrible. So fur actually may have been scarring culture.
Speaker 1: I think the scarring culture. Matt. We're one hundred and one,
Speaker 1: We're halfway through the list. What do you think we
Speaker 1: should so number one hundred? Oh okay, so maybe you're
Speaker 1: saying maybe we should start with a hundred. I think
Speaker 1: we start with that, alright. So then literally, I think
Speaker 1: we've gone through the first one hundred of our We've
Speaker 1: been two hundred to one hundred and one of our
Speaker 1: top two hundred moments of culture, and I think that
Speaker 1: we've done an incredibly We've done an incredible job. We
Speaker 1: hope that you agree with this list. You have to
Speaker 1: agree with the list because it's definitively empirically the list. Um,
Speaker 1: we're not going to do and I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: Because this this episode is an hour and forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: But we are going to say we will see you later,
Speaker 1: and maybe the episode that follow us will be coming
Speaker 1: a little bit sooner than you think. Yes, we'll have
Speaker 1: to talk to the producers. We're gonna have to talk
Speaker 1: to the producers because we've made a lot of decisions
Speaker 1: without them and they are very We appreciate their flexibility
Speaker 1: and their adaptability in this process. That we're doing something
Speaker 1: that no one's ever done before, which is catalog the
Speaker 1: top two hundred moments in culture history. No one has
Speaker 1: ever done this before. And also it's our two hundredth
Speaker 1: episode and we're very excited. Also, please remember that we're
Speaker 1: saying it's our two hundred episode based on my count,
Speaker 1: which could be wrong. I will accept it as right.
Speaker 1: I I told you, I looked in your eyes and
Speaker 1: I said, I trust you. And remember that Bowen has
Speaker 1: not done account of the episodes, even though I told him,
Speaker 1: do you want to double check me? And he said,
Speaker 1: I trust you? So I really I I put it
Speaker 1: to the viewers to count the episodes and tell me
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but also deeply no that I don't care.
Speaker 1: And that's not the point. The point is to celebrate
Speaker 1: this landmark achievement for the pod and recount the episodes
Speaker 1: and moments of culture that are really meaningful. We're so
Speaker 1: drunk um and I mean, this is the most time
Speaker 1: I've had in months. But stay tuned for the remaining
Speaker 1: one hundred top moments in culture history. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: want to miss any of these. There's plenty to cover.
Speaker 1: And number one, I'd want to say, definitively, you can
Speaker 1: you can? You can? You know push back on the
Speaker 1: order of the list. Number one is in the exact
Speaker 1: deserving spot. Oh, number one is the number one moment
Speaker 1: in culture history. You will not dispute it with that,
Speaker 1: I would say that really everything is in its right place,
Speaker 1: there is no dispute. But before you think we've not
Speaker 1: counted something in, understand that there are a hundred more
Speaker 1: moments coming. So and we end every episode with a song.
Speaker 1: If the said no one your body now, if would
Speaker 1: you want it against me?
