Speaker 1: Were the kindest words I've ever heard anyone saying about Bich.
Speaker 1: We are kind here. Did you ever forget it? Here's
Speaker 1: the thing. I wouldn't just say it, you want to.
Speaker 1: People have said that to me. They've said, you know,
Speaker 1: Oscar as a as an improv coach, he's like Oprah,
Speaker 1: and I will say this and this is like sentimental
Speaker 1: as this is. I will say this is sentimental as hell.
Speaker 1: And I said, I've said this to Oscar. Fully we're
Speaker 1: going into this. I'm just saying, I just want to
Speaker 1: get this out there, just to hop on the Oprah
Speaker 1: of improv thing. I would not be doing half the
Speaker 1: should I we be doing in comedy and the Live
Speaker 1: a comedy space if it weren't for Oscar. One toy
Speaker 1: because he helped me co host my first variety show
Speaker 1: with him, which is called Ethnic Realness and still doing it.
Speaker 1: We're still doing it. On Saturday was a um Oscar,
Speaker 1: I'll have Oscar to thank We all have Oscar to thank.
Speaker 1: Stop it. How are you? I am doing great? Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for having me on this podcast. It's legendary.
Speaker 1: It's why we came to l I was to have
Speaker 1: you on this podcast. I'm not that's a part of
Speaker 1: the reason. It's part of we did literally say like, oh,
Speaker 1: we'll be in l A. We're doing some shows with
Speaker 1: Papa Ulette at ucb um. Well but it'll they'll be
Speaker 1: a long over by the time, but look at us,
Speaker 1: look us up online. But anyway, I was like, and
Speaker 1: now we can get Oscar on culture, which was part
Speaker 1: of the planet along. We tried to orchestra this when
Speaker 1: Oscar was in New York a few months and not
Speaker 1: everything is meant to be orchestrated. It wasn't that it
Speaker 1: just happened. Sometimes the magic just happens, and we have
Speaker 1: to love the magic to happen. And the magic is
Speaker 1: happening right now. And that's why they call him the
Speaker 1: Oprah the honey. Sometimes there the magic just doesn't come.
Speaker 1: Magic one you're telling me honey, wave, oh girl, I
Speaker 1: need I need some magic right about now. But you
Speaker 1: know what you could say, I need a hero, a
Speaker 1: hero of the night. You guys are my children. You
Speaker 1: know that I feel very much like mother love and
Speaker 1: just like you guys are my children. I do feel
Speaker 1: that way. And I'm so proud of my children. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I only say children because
Speaker 1: I'm like twice your age. Yes, that is true, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. False, No, it's true. It's okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's okay. Um. It was Oscar's Birthdayscar is sixty, sixty
Speaker 1: years old, Oscar. It was cloth mug, honey clotha mug.
Speaker 1: I look like in my thirties, but I'm sixty years old, Oscar.
Speaker 1: It was your birthday. Recently, you had sent everybody on
Speaker 1: a scavenger hunt. It was called hashtag scavenger hunt. Hoya.
Speaker 1: That's hilarious right now. I would not do now, now
Speaker 1: that I'm in my late twenties, I would not dare
Speaker 1: do a scavenge hunt, except if it was for Oscar Montoya.
Speaker 1: What did you Why wouldn't you do? You would feel
Speaker 1: like you would feel like, what am I doing playing
Speaker 1: the role of a child? I'd be like, what am
Speaker 1: I doing playing the role of a nineteen year old? Absolutely? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that. But that's cute. But
Speaker 1: with Oscar though, like it will be a curated experience. Don't, honey, don't.
Speaker 1: It was fun. It was really really fun. All the
Speaker 1: scavenger hunts was I mean, like, I rarely indulge in myself.
Speaker 1: That's not part of what I do. What I do. Um,
Speaker 1: But I had two very good friends planned this whole
Speaker 1: thing because it was a surprise. I had no idea
Speaker 1: what they were doing this. I had no idea this
Speaker 1: was happening. So they got a whole bunch of us
Speaker 1: together and they did a scavenger hunt. And all of
Speaker 1: these things that we had to do were related to
Speaker 1: the stuff that I was into. For example, um, we
Speaker 1: had to take pictures in front of um like, haunted
Speaker 1: houses all throughout Los Angeles. And you know me and
Speaker 1: I love my haunted mythology I do. Do you love
Speaker 1: a gag that is a created haunted house or do
Speaker 1: you need the real thing? I need those real life testimonials, Darlene.
Speaker 1: So you you're not the type to roll through an
Speaker 1: experience that is a haunted house with live actors. Oh,
Speaker 1: I can get into it, but it's like fake, do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It's like I'm like, okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: these are like it's actors just like giving it. They're
Speaker 1: all which is it's fun. It's funny and camp and cute, right,
Speaker 1: But for me, the true gag is going into like
Speaker 1: para normal situation. Like that's the gag for me, I
Speaker 1: like truly love. You know you've been to my house.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say my house is haunted, but it
Speaker 1: definitely gives the vibe of a haunted hot house. That
Speaker 1: house is as old as time. I kid you not.
Speaker 1: It's called my my house is sold. It has a name, okay,
Speaker 1: and her name is Mara Mara. It's the Mayra House.
Speaker 1: And I live on the second floor. The first floor,
Speaker 1: my landlord lives there. His name is Stanley. He's a
Speaker 1: very fun, roly poly dandy man. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? He's just so fun. Sure, and you're saying
Speaker 1: like an earthWhile actress was murdered there, Probably I'm saying
Speaker 1: is that he collects a lot of garbage. Just he's
Speaker 1: a very big like you know, like shopper. You've seen it.
Speaker 1: It's just it's got a lot of chat keys, right,
Speaker 1: And I'd like to think that there's some there's a
Speaker 1: spirit in in in each one of those chat do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean I've never I
Speaker 1: haven't had like an experience yet. Like I like to
Speaker 1: think that one day it'll happen. One day it'll happen
Speaker 1: for Oscar. Oscar invites it because this is my favorite
Speaker 1: Oscar Montoya story. Ever, one day we were hanging out
Speaker 1: and then Oscar was ringing shorts and then I saw
Speaker 1: on his leg a new tattoo of a screaming cat face. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I go, Oscar, is that a new tattoo? He goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, what is that? And he
Speaker 1: goes and just so casually it was just like, um,
Speaker 1: I walked into an antique shop or like an enchantment
Speaker 1: shop and I saw a terrible with a screaming cat
Speaker 1: face on it, and I was like, I have to
Speaker 1: put that on my body, and she did, and I
Speaker 1: was like, Oscar, that is a tattoo. But then, but
Speaker 1: then that really was a tied change for me because
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is just what people with
Speaker 1: tattoos do. It's like they want a certain image on
Speaker 1: their body. You don't have any neither of you have tattoos. No,
Speaker 1: But it took me the longest time to come around
Speaker 1: to this idea of it doesn't matter what you put
Speaker 1: on your body. And like I literally I was with
Speaker 1: Matt and Austin a few weeks ago and I was
Speaker 1: we were walking down the street and I was like,
Speaker 1: there was tattoo Parliament. I was like, what if I
Speaker 1: just got a tattoo here? And like what if entertainment
Speaker 1: entertain that? But you know it would it be? I
Speaker 1: said no, because for me it's I had to take
Speaker 1: a different perspective on it. And maybe some of the
Speaker 1: listeners you know in the comments below they feel comfortably,
Speaker 1: it's like for me, it's like I I understand, like
Speaker 1: I get if anyone could do whatever the funk they want.
Speaker 1: For me, it's just like, I don't think it would
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense for me and the person
Speaker 1: I am and who lives up and here at the
Speaker 1: point in my brain to put something on my body
Speaker 1: because I would hate it the next day and I
Speaker 1: would feel like, I mean a mistake, and I would
Speaker 1: get rill in my head about it. I think it's
Speaker 1: just a different ideology. And you're saying in the moment,
Speaker 1: like what if I just got a tattoo. I think
Speaker 1: was more to posit the question and less because you
Speaker 1: actually really wanted to know. But it's the feeling struck me,
Speaker 1: like the faintest hint of the desire struck me as
Speaker 1: like I want a tattoo. I want one now. I
Speaker 1: think that's a human thing. Sure, I mean, yeah, we've
Speaker 1: all thought it. We've all thought it, We've all we've
Speaker 1: all entertained that notion. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: What would you get gun to your head? What would
Speaker 1: you get right now if you had to get a
Speaker 1: tatto that? Honestly, and this is not just because it's
Speaker 1: top of mind the screaming cafes. The same tattoo that
Speaker 1: Oscar has, which is I create this it it's a
Speaker 1: weird as but it's like the fact that that image
Speaker 1: is still stuffed stopping me. I think I love that
Speaker 1: tattoo so much. I love all of my tattoos, and
Speaker 1: I have some of the dumbest tattoos in the history.
Speaker 1: There's not one that you're like this one. Nope, no regrets.
Speaker 1: My first ever tattoo. As soon as I turned eighteen,
Speaker 1: I went to the tattoo parlor and the fucking West
Speaker 1: Village in like a rinky dink like who Cares tattoo
Speaker 1: parlor and was like, I want a Power Ranger's logo
Speaker 1: on my arm and it's gigantic and it's I mean,
Speaker 1: like a power mighty morphin Power Rangers tattoo. I have
Speaker 1: the Lightning Bolt. It's I love it. I love it
Speaker 1: so much. People who see it are like, oh, you're
Speaker 1: you love gatorade, don't you. I'm like, okay, okay, this
Speaker 1: is straight. This is how many do you have? Right now?
Speaker 1: I have fourteen tattoos and the will being I have
Speaker 1: a question for you, Oscar. I feel like my default,
Speaker 1: I will assume that nobody with the tattoo owes anybody
Speaker 1: else the story behind the tattoo, because it's it feels
Speaker 1: maybe a little invasive to be like, what's the meaning
Speaker 1: behind this? But how do you what's your take on that? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: esk away like, I love that. But but honestly, most
Speaker 1: of these, most of these tattoos don't even have stories.
Speaker 1: Most of these are just like I love dinosaurs. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's like two themes that are going on in my
Speaker 1: tattoo story, um, and that is dinosaurs and spooky imagery
Speaker 1: like I have a Medusa decapitated, a Medusa head on
Speaker 1: my you know what in my on my leg like
Speaker 1: a lot of cats, you know, ghosts, um mummies. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? I want to write a Rangers
Speaker 1: to Dinosaurs. Yes, yes, oh there's a clear kind of
Speaker 1: that's right. Well that's on dinosaur. But but see all
Speaker 1: of these images, all of this imagery works with Oscar
Speaker 1: because he hasn't been found sense of who he is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: me too, And I'm the person who screams mastered on
Speaker 1: when I asked the name a dinosaur. Wait, we have
Speaker 1: to talk about Oscar and I talked about the Power
Speaker 1: Rangers maybe. Okay, did you see it? Yes, we talked together. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: all went out to who ever made it? Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you who I who. I owe it all too.
Speaker 1: It's miss Elizabeth Banks Darling Oscar nominee revelation. I think
Speaker 1: Oscar nominie when when when her reaction was just the
Speaker 1: one thing I didn't even think it was how. I
Speaker 1: think it was just it. She saw what was in
Speaker 1: front of her and her reaction was to be like
Speaker 1: she really and she got lost in that role. I
Speaker 1: truly believe there was not an ounce of Elizabeth Banks
Speaker 1: there at all. It was all read of Repulsa. I
Speaker 1: also really dig the mythology that the movie has laid
Speaker 1: out for us. In fact, that's sorry spoilers ahead, um,
Speaker 1: the fact that she used to be the Green Rangers
Speaker 1: into it because here's the oh no, here we go.
Speaker 1: It didn't really make sense because that took place like
Speaker 1: millions and millions of years ago, right like we would
Speaker 1: say billions. Yeah, okay, So how did you have a
Speaker 1: name like rid A repose? Okay, fine, okay, fine, it
Speaker 1: was weird. Everyone had weird alien names, and damn disbelief
Speaker 1: for one second. But but what if what if Rita
Speaker 1: meant something else in some other you know, weird alien language.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Repulsa translates to like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Vivica Monroe a fox, but that's a fair
Speaker 1: row is a drag name by the funniest. Okay, so
Speaker 1: I have to say this there is I was, um recently,
Speaker 1: um like sitting in on auditions for teams at UCB,
Speaker 1: and you know, like people name names all the time
Speaker 1: and you just forget or whatever, and one one name
Speaker 1: that I will stick with me forever and ever and ever.
Speaker 1: Someone his name is Chase McGowan. He's so funny. He
Speaker 1: just named himself very nique Glass and I truly gagged.
Speaker 1: I truly died. I I whooped and hollered like a
Speaker 1: damn fool. It was the funniest thing every Glass Like,
Speaker 1: we need to have more fun with names. I love
Speaker 1: creating names. I think it's it's it's a wonderful opportunity. Seriously,
Speaker 1: you want to know what my drag name would be? Oh,
Speaker 1: please tell me, miss Anya rhysm on your rhythm? What
Speaker 1: would be your like? What kind of crime would you be?
Speaker 1: I would be the kind of queen who was sickening
Speaker 1: but also a comedy. I would literally, so honestly, hold on,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get up a second for a second, because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what. Okay, when I do drag one
Speaker 1: day and get on upas miss on your rhythm always
Speaker 1: enters the runway like this, Oh she had to take
Speaker 1: her I'm just gonna all right, here we go. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is real. This is the first Yeah, slow sultry walk.
Speaker 1: Oh she has a horrible headache and then now she's ready,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yes she stops, she stomps, she stops,
Speaker 1: she gets a searing pain in her head, and then
Speaker 1: she keeps stomping because that's right. She gets like a
Speaker 1: throbbing migraine, and then she writes herself and then it's
Speaker 1: just fierce the un and like every now and then,
Speaker 1: like her head throbs. But my, I'm a headache queen.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. That's where your power is.
Speaker 1: That's where the power, yeah, I think. And I also
Speaker 1: think like she is like very much like a fashion
Speaker 1: she's like, you know, she's a comedy queen because she
Speaker 1: because she's a comedy queen, like she met. I love.
Speaker 1: I love that, you said. Okay, I was. I was
Speaker 1: about to point this out that when we talk about
Speaker 1: our drag alter egoes, which we all do as gay man,
Speaker 1: we all have a like a drag queen fetus inside
Speaker 1: of us and we just have to nurture it and
Speaker 1: you know, raise it. And my question is do we
Speaker 1: say I when we refer to you this trac queen
Speaker 1: alter ego or she? Matt, you just said she, but
Speaker 1: you also said she refraings yourself. So to me, none
Speaker 1: of the to me words don't mean anything like so
Speaker 1: I could talk, I could say anything, I mean anything.
Speaker 1: So basically I was not bound by words. I'm sure,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, yeah, I'm not bound my language. It's like
Speaker 1: she as because I wanted us to picture her exterior,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I was saying, she to
Speaker 1: paint a portrait of her. Right, Bruce Wayne would never
Speaker 1: refer to Batman as he would never referred to himself
Speaker 1: as I right, Batman, even though he has said I
Speaker 1: am Batman. Okay, but like in a in a quit
Speaker 1: like if he was geving with the girls, and let's
Speaker 1: just say Batman was a fop, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And he was. He was having brunch with his Justice
Speaker 1: League friends, and he was as Bruce Wayne. Everyone is
Speaker 1: not in costume. This is not a costumes the themed brunch, like, oh,
Speaker 1: let's be ourselves here. Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne are
Speaker 1: are hanging out together as Kent and Bruce Way exactly
Speaker 1: at me and because you know they're all from L
Speaker 1: A l A and um the brunch Mickey's ham and
Speaker 1: egg Batman, I mean not Batman. Bruce Wayne and Clark
Speaker 1: Kent would be talking about she Batman and Superman. She Okay,
Speaker 1: we go, and basically it would be like if I
Speaker 1: was Bruce Wayne and Bowen was Clark Kent and he
Speaker 1: came and sat down and I was waiting for her,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, she got into it last night with
Speaker 1: the police, didn't she okay? Bit? And then I would
Speaker 1: I would clap back and be like, well, she doesn't
Speaker 1: have a mansion with a basement. I don't want to
Speaker 1: do with Mimosa. Honey, you Mimosa, not she. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to hurt nothing and stay out of my city.
Speaker 1: Well she better not order me just egg whites. But
Speaker 1: why are you fighting right away? Because we're adversary? Batman, Superman?
Speaker 1: Did you see the Ben Affleck flick? Girl to pass
Speaker 1: on ben Affleck? I skip better. Well we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to see him again in that sequel, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. But it's a hard it's a hard note
Speaker 1: for me on ben Affleck. He seems miserable and person
Speaker 1: like he boxed it up in Daredevil, and they were
Speaker 1: still like, let's give him another chance, but not Marvel.
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's see if he flourishes in d C
Speaker 1: And he didn't, did not rise to the occasion. It's
Speaker 1: not even him as an actor. I think he's fine.
Speaker 1: It's just like I just don't want him to get
Speaker 1: my money, you know what I mean. He just seems
Speaker 1: like such are I think if you get cast as
Speaker 1: two superheroes and two different franchises, not even in the
Speaker 1: same whatever, you like Ryan Reynolds, like Ryan Reynolds, I
Speaker 1: mean there is there have been people, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, they're a shortage, like they should just like
Speaker 1: take people take a sabbatical. If you're Chris Evans, Ryan
Speaker 1: Reynolds or Ben Affleck, just take like a decade off,
Speaker 1: because honestly, you've made enough money to pay for fucking
Speaker 1: you do not need to be another Chris Evans. Actually,
Speaker 1: once he butts Captain America, he was like, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: he actually said an interview. He's like, I'm actually done acting.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm just gonna do this. And he's in
Speaker 1: the one movie with Jenny Slate that's coming out right
Speaker 1: and his daughter is very gifted. But I think he
Speaker 1: just was like, oh, I have I have the ability
Speaker 1: to I think he read the script and was like,
Speaker 1: I have the ability to get this made because of
Speaker 1: who I am, So I want to do it because
Speaker 1: I like the script, but he actually is one that
Speaker 1: if you notice, it's not because he doesn't have time,
Speaker 1: because Scarlet Johanson isn't all of them too, and she
Speaker 1: works down, but he doesn't do much else besides like
Speaker 1: smaller passion projecting movies. And I think it's because he
Speaker 1: said he was like, he's actually very cool. Yeah that's what.
Speaker 1: He's very smart too. Um, but I don't know him,
Speaker 1: so whatever. Um, but in my mind, I would love
Speaker 1: to live in a world where every single celebrity gets
Speaker 1: one shot at playing a superhero and if they suck
Speaker 1: it up by you're banished from the celebrity center. My dream,
Speaker 1: because they're all idology, because all means come, come come,
Speaker 1: um my rule. This was back when the whole fucking
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift snapchat Kim Kardashian snapchat thing came out. I
Speaker 1: tweeted out, wait for those for those not in the know, recap,
Speaker 1: so Kim Kardashian, so Taylor Swift. Back when Life of
Speaker 1: Pablo came out, which Kanye West album, Kanye West had
Speaker 1: a lyric in a song called Famous that he said,
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, I made that bitch famous or something like that. Um,
Speaker 1: and Taylor came out and said, I never agreed. This
Speaker 1: is horrible. How dare Kanye West call me that never
Speaker 1: asked me for permission for this? That was what it was.
Speaker 1: It was over permissions her name and call her a
Speaker 1: bit and say I feel like me and Taylor might
Speaker 1: still have sex, and it was like objectionable lyrics, right,
Speaker 1: And then so Kim Kardashian went to to some some
Speaker 1: press people and was like, well, I actually have video
Speaker 1: of her confirming this, and then after a week or so,
Speaker 1: she finally released all of them via Snapchat and it
Speaker 1: was like the Taylor Swift is Over party. So literally,
Speaker 1: video of Kanye West on the phone with Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: on speaker phone. You can hear her say that it's okay,
Speaker 1: that's and she's encouraging him. Yeah, so it's catching her
Speaker 1: in an explicit lie for her to yeah. So then
Speaker 1: so as soon as that whole thing broke, I was like,
Speaker 1: this is so stupid, and I tweeted there should be
Speaker 1: a rule that once you get famous, you have like
Speaker 1: three years to live and then we just kill you.
Speaker 1: Like that's just I don't hate that is bold. I
Speaker 1: don't hate that. I don't hate that after three years.
Speaker 1: Three years is like when you know, after three years
Speaker 1: you start decomposing a little or there should be like
Speaker 1: if you're famous for a frivolous thing, and who can
Speaker 1: be the judge? I guess, but like I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was just like so when that all happened, I
Speaker 1: remember saying, like, I honestly wouldn't care if we wiped
Speaker 1: the slate totally clean and got rid of, not got
Speaker 1: rid of in terms of they died, but like if
Speaker 1: none of these people retired, retire them, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Let me ask Let me ask you a question, bo,
Speaker 1: and you are a vicious, heartless monster. He is a group.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is gruish in here. He comes in
Speaker 1: with the grew and lays it down, and it is
Speaker 1: getting a little grooey in here from my taste. If
Speaker 1: you ask me which you WoT girl with fends, I
Speaker 1: cannot know, for it is not a despicable reference. It
Speaker 1: is It's just a name that I can apply to,
Speaker 1: no affiliation up from us. Absolutely, Okay. Let me ask you, guys,
Speaker 1: this which icon and I'm talking about the icon? Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: are consistently perfect throughout their careers. Okay. Um Sandra Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: this is a whole different vibe. This is a whole
Speaker 1: apples and oranges here. What's going on? What are we
Speaker 1: happening about? Icon? Are you talking about like little cultural icon?
Speaker 1: Sant She's not a cultural I think are our icon? Beyonce?
Speaker 1: Let me let me think, do you think she's Here's
Speaker 1: what I'll say. Beyonce um in a real way, but
Speaker 1: in a consistent and fluid way, has been able to
Speaker 1: truly reinvent herself in a way that was always not
Speaker 1: only interesting but also very artistic and progressive. Whereas you
Speaker 1: could argue, and I'm not necessarily arguing this that Santra
Speaker 1: definitely did that movie with Anna after she did anyway, No,
Speaker 1: but but, but I was going to say, you could
Speaker 1: argue in a way that she has never truly slipped
Speaker 1: up in a way like I'm gonna I'm gonna play
Speaker 1: the Devil's advocate here and say that her shelf life
Speaker 1: maybe isn't as long as the other icon. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. She's like, she's one of the new words.
Speaker 1: She is the newest icon. I would say, so has
Speaker 1: been a thing for almost twenty years. Twenty years. If
Speaker 1: you actually think when the entity of Beyonce come to fruition.
Speaker 1: I remember saying, Sasha firist. That was when she was like, okay,
Speaker 1: new gay agreed. And how long ago was that? Okay?
Speaker 1: Are we talking about when she became a seven years
Speaker 1: ago or how long she's been doing very influential work,
Speaker 1: because that you could say, get back to early Destiny's Child,
Speaker 1: like how early? And I did this? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: part two. I'm saying once say my Name came out,
Speaker 1: they were here to stay and that came out in
Speaker 1: oh oh, you're talking about the writings on the wall Destiny.
Speaker 1: Of course I am talking about Destiny's Child. Here's the thing, listen,
Speaker 1: it's like, I just want to first correct Sasha came
Speaker 1: out in two, which is nine years ago. I'm so sorry,
Speaker 1: but to say that wasn't an icon until that's like
Speaker 1: what do you say? What did you sleep through? Crazy
Speaker 1: and love? Sure? I mean, okay, yeah, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I don't apologize. Make your points. Well, no, I'm not
Speaker 1: just Oscar's being Devil's advocate here. I think Beyonce will
Speaker 1: last for generations and we're going to see here. You
Speaker 1: think she's going to be absolutely you think she's going
Speaker 1: to out iconicize Madonna. Yes, absolutely, Wow, Madonna has like
Speaker 1: so many slip ups it's insane. I mean, I agree
Speaker 1: with that. Beyonce is never never. I just grabbed it
Speaker 1: so cute. She's she's never going to resort to hijinks. Okay.
Speaker 1: And and Madonna is trapsing around here and she's performing Hydra.
Speaker 1: It's a gimmick. She's giving you kissing Brittany at the
Speaker 1: at the at the and Christina. Let's not forget she
Speaker 1: also kissed Christina. Why do we keep forgetting that? My friend,
Speaker 1: our friend, Colin cord aposty years ago, text to me
Speaker 1: one time out of nowhere, remember when Beyonce was disgusted
Speaker 1: like it was like, Beyonce is not a true a
Speaker 1: because she was Amice. I'll tell you, I'll tell you well.
Speaker 1: Remember her early lyric. I'm not going to come from
Speaker 1: Masma Christianity. I'm not going to whatever. Um Okay, can
Speaker 1: I answer because my mama taught me better, because I
Speaker 1: facetiously gave the answer of Sandra is the most consistent icon.
Speaker 1: But I guess she's on an icon. I guess. I
Speaker 1: mean you gotta say, I'm gonna say, you can't say Gaga.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say Gaga. I'm gonna say, why can't
Speaker 1: he say Gaga? Because she's not consistent? Because it wasn't consistent.
Speaker 1: It's not not amazing, it's not consistent. What was her
Speaker 1: lowest point? Our pop? A lot of people would just
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think her outside high drinks,
Speaker 1: around the art, her extracurriculars, her extracurricular activities around the
Speaker 1: art pop era. Because she came to school with a
Speaker 1: good project, you know what I mean. It was the
Speaker 1: fact that she was smoking cigarettes outside that got her
Speaker 1: in detention, you know, girl, And we put her, We
Speaker 1: certainly did. We were the ones who put her intention
Speaker 1: she hung out with the bad kids like Marino Brama Vack. Honey,
Speaker 1: let's say what you were saying. Well, I'm really drawing
Speaker 1: a blank here, but I want to say out of
Speaker 1: all fields. This is such a boring answer, But I
Speaker 1: guess Mary, but she's not even like ricking the Flash.
Speaker 1: That's literally what I was gonna say. That wasn't her fault.
Speaker 1: That wasn't her fault. That was Diablo Cody's fault. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: god Oscar, you give your answer. What is who is
Speaker 1: the icon. Who will the more the most consistent icon, girl,
Speaker 1: The most consistent icon to me is not it's it's
Speaker 1: mini Mouse girl. It's like a cartoon Carl. We just
Speaker 1: that brand is like brand. Okay, well then what well
Speaker 1: then what? First of all, I'm pissed Mini Mouse, Daisy duck, bitch,
Speaker 1: that's a true icon. Who shut the funk up? Name
Speaker 1: one thing about Daisy Duck or minimouse that is like
Speaker 1: personal that the brand, Honey, cartoon characters what they can't
Speaker 1: be legendary if they're not. Mini mouse is anti feminists, Minimouse,
Speaker 1: mini mouse is it's the mail gig. Are not sent
Speaker 1: any beans who can make decisions about their careers and
Speaker 1: they're creative. Okay, No, No, that's the exist because in
Speaker 1: Mickey exist and that is the male g yet and
Speaker 1: yet they've risen above Honey, There, Honey is when is
Speaker 1: her album coming out? You don't need an album, Mini Mouse,
Speaker 1: She doesn't need to come up with an album. She's fine.
Speaker 1: Where she's gonna be wearing her polka dot dress looking
Speaker 1: cute as fuck. Okay, she's gonna wear a bow an
Speaker 1: on her head and be like, I'm snatched for the gods.
Speaker 1: Darling Disney snatched the rib from Mickey Mouse and Donald
Speaker 1: Duck and crafted a female version. Why do you have
Speaker 1: to make a religious girl? Why do you have to
Speaker 1: go there? Here's the icon who will Who has been
Speaker 1: consistent is Jesus Christ. Yeah, he's right, and you can't
Speaker 1: say anything about Jesus not on this weekend. True consistent
Speaker 1: icon Jesus Christ, Mary Mother Mary, Mother Mary Honey. She
Speaker 1: stayed consistent without the years. Let's look into our religious
Speaker 1: icons for guys. I have one RuPaul, but has been consistent.
Speaker 1: Star Booty, she looks pretty rough when she was on
Speaker 1: Project Thank You. Oh my gosh, she did look so
Speaker 1: she looked like sick. Actually, I was like, but you
Speaker 1: know what, though, it's better that she had rough times
Speaker 1: because that's why we need so bad, because we know
Speaker 1: she's seen the dark. The thing is with Beyonce and
Speaker 1: you you could say this works against her her relatability,
Speaker 1: which I know is not the point of Beyonce, that
Speaker 1: she is supposed to stand for perfection. But we haven't
Speaker 1: see herself up and like, I don't know. It's like,
Speaker 1: even when it would be impossible not to, she hasn't.
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, not not that I'm against Beyonce
Speaker 1: at all, because I'm not. I do think she's sickening.
Speaker 1: I'm just so tired of her being the go to answer,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Just like and also also,
Speaker 1: but you asked about consistency and consistency and perfection. I
Speaker 1: believe do live in the same world if we're talking
Speaker 1: about consistently like in terms of like what they bring,
Speaker 1: and they always bring that. I think pretty pretty much
Speaker 1: Rhon has always been on brand. She's always giving you
Speaker 1: messy ass ree. Yeah, people don't feel that as much
Speaker 1: as they feel Beyonce. Beyonce is just like a universal Yes,
Speaker 1: this is good. Briana is like this is good, but
Speaker 1: like hmmmmmm okay, you know, well, who is consistently inconsistent
Speaker 1: and like all over the fucking places Demi Levado. And
Speaker 1: you gotta give props collaps to Demi Levado for never
Speaker 1: figuring her ship out but still being fun to listen to. Wow,
Speaker 1: I have to say, I don't think it's okay to
Speaker 1: come for Demi. I'm not a you. You don't think
Speaker 1: she's do you think she's no fun? She's still interesting
Speaker 1: to watch because it's like girl, you gotta stop announcing
Speaker 1: your retirement from the industry when you keep coming out
Speaker 1: with these new albums. She just doesn't know what she
Speaker 1: wants and it's fine and it's okay. She's just human.
Speaker 1: You didn't think that her top and the Pool for
Speaker 1: the summer music video was not the top of the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know when I watched that video three times in
Speaker 1: a row and thought I liked girls. Okay, I mean
Speaker 1: mentor because DEM's tough girl, or do I want to
Speaker 1: suck her top? Want? So sorry, I forgot about my
Speaker 1: mental list of tops of the year, Oscar. We were
Speaker 1: going to ask you finally the question we asked all
Speaker 1: of our guests. But this question is um big question
Speaker 1: and UM take your time, okay, Oscar, Um am I
Speaker 1: saying that right, Oscar? This question is what is the
Speaker 1: culture that you, as a young Oscar? I hope I'm
Speaker 1: saying that right, made you say I want to step
Speaker 1: in a cultural direction. What was the culture that defined
Speaker 1: Oscar mont Oscary say, culture is for me? Oscar Montoya.
Speaker 1: He was like, okay, I'm influenced in this moment and
Speaker 1: this will change all to the course of my Oscar
Speaker 1: Montoya took in something and said, I think culture is
Speaker 1: a part of me and I can never imagine living
Speaker 1: without culture. Is he saying there, Oscar Montoya? Yeah, can
Speaker 1: you say that again, Oscar Monty mont Um, I will
Speaker 1: say that I got in college. I got a dance
Speaker 1: award because I was a dancer in college and oh girl,
Speaker 1: come on, I'm okay. Um they gave me a plaque
Speaker 1: that was like, oh answer the year they spell my
Speaker 1: name Oscar monte Ya, and I was livid. I was like,
Speaker 1: this is not fair. I worked so hard and they
Speaker 1: misspelled my name anyway. Um, I just I just want
Speaker 1: to preface by saying that I, as a human being,
Speaker 1: only communicate through pop culture. Pop culture is running through
Speaker 1: my veins as we speak. Okay, I'm a vessel. I'm
Speaker 1: a vessel of media, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: that's how I communicate with people. When people say I
Speaker 1: didn't grow up with a TV, delete goodbye because I
Speaker 1: we won't. We just won't talk. That's it. People who
Speaker 1: say I don't like music, goodbye forever. How dare you?
Speaker 1: Are you even human being? Sorry? You've heard people say
Speaker 1: that there was there was a crazy kid in my
Speaker 1: elementary school who said he didn't like music. And then
Speaker 1: I checked back in with him in high school and
Speaker 1: he still didn't like music. And I was like, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, what what is that? And they're
Speaker 1: always crazy, all of them. So you com you communicate
Speaker 1: in pop culture, do and I'll tell you why. And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why because I was not born in America.
Speaker 1: I'm an immigrant, Okay. I was born in Colombia. And
Speaker 1: I was born in a village in Colombia. Okay, like
Speaker 1: you know, dirt roads, like no tea, I mean, like
Speaker 1: just like we had. I remember when I was like six,
Speaker 1: we had a black and white box, huge s box TV.
Speaker 1: And it was like my life changed forever, okay. And
Speaker 1: I would watch, um, bay Watched Nights, not the original
Speaker 1: but the spinoff Baywatch Nights, obsessed with it because it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, flirted with paranormal stuff. And I was just
Speaker 1: obsessed that nineties TV show The Renegade Obsessed. These are
Speaker 1: all shows that my grandma loved watching, so I loved
Speaker 1: watching you know what I mean, That's the kind of
Speaker 1: media that I consumed. Um. So, then coming here as
Speaker 1: like a like a tween, I would say, um, that's
Speaker 1: all I want all I want. I was just obsessed
Speaker 1: with media culture TV, you know, movies, music, video games,
Speaker 1: and it was like you know, and especially American media,
Speaker 1: just like all about it. So I mean, you want
Speaker 1: to talk about it, let's talk about That's exactly why
Speaker 1: you're here, Okay, honey, you are a true culture so like, look,
Speaker 1: look at this, this episode is already a special line.
Speaker 1: We just went right into it. We did. We went
Speaker 1: right into it even before this this got recorded, and
Speaker 1: we're plunging even further. Yes we are. Let's Jack who
Speaker 1: still the ship out of this James Cameron doing research
Speaker 1: for the film. That's right now. I want to know
Speaker 1: about of course, that's the abyss. The abyss because everybody saw, um, Oscar,
Speaker 1: what got you into dancing? I don't even think I
Speaker 1: really know this about you? Oh dancing. I did it
Speaker 1: in Colombia. I did something called Columbia, which is like
Speaker 1: the kind of folkloric dancing of Columbia. UM. And it
Speaker 1: was like very cute. I have pictures where I'm just
Speaker 1: like whatever, um. And then when I came here, you know,
Speaker 1: there was no cute twirling. I was twirling darling when
Speaker 1: I moved here. They didn't really have that. So I
Speaker 1: was like, you know that I found like modern contemporary
Speaker 1: movement and I was like, oh, that speaks to me, um,
Speaker 1: And then that's something that I've done, you know, until
Speaker 1: I discovered comedy. And then that all went out the window.
Speaker 1: Did you discover comedy? Um? A roommate of mine, his
Speaker 1: name was Chopper, and that's the name I gave him
Speaker 1: because he wanted people to take him more seriously. So
Speaker 1: I was like, just change your name. Do you want
Speaker 1: to people take him seriously? Aizing him? You can't be
Speaker 1: born into this world, so let me his name was.
Speaker 1: His name is Christian Jacobs, which you know, by all
Speaker 1: means is a normal, sort of okay name. But the
Speaker 1: name like Chopper, which he still goes by to this day.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? I identified because I
Speaker 1: was born with the name Matt Rogers, and I have
Speaker 1: had to fight and now it's now it's a household name, Darling.
Speaker 1: I have had to fight. You're a fighter. It's okay.
Speaker 1: But because when you in the Google search, you see
Speaker 1: a lot of people, a lot, and one of them
Speaker 1: is an American idol contested, and one of them is
Speaker 1: a horribly offensive comedy singer and what does that mean?
Speaker 1: Comedy singer. There's a song called suck on My sock,
Speaker 1: on my sock on my cock to the tune of
Speaker 1: jingle Bell Rock and guys come on all together. Sucko, ma,
Speaker 1: suck o, suck on my cock. No, it's not even
Speaker 1: suck on my cock. It's it's suck on my cock.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even get the rhythm though, And then to
Speaker 1: tell people that I do musical sketch, that like music
Speaker 1: is a part of my comedy, and they search and
Speaker 1: they're like, well, this must be it. My god, no,
Speaker 1: that is not. That's not my cock isn't necessarily just
Speaker 1: the title, it's not necessarily off brand, No, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's pretty adjacent. So it's like, okay, I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: look every day I do panic about it. Chopper Comedy,
Speaker 1: Chopper he I was roommates with him, and here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I was performing, but I also had really bad stage
Speaker 1: fright um and like also social anxiety um. And my roommate,
Speaker 1: you know, Chopper was like, you should take an improv class, um,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, no, no, I do not do comedy.
Speaker 1: I'm not a funny person. No, no, no, Um, I
Speaker 1: can't like there's no, I don't. I didn't know what
Speaker 1: improv was, like, none of that. And you didn't associate
Speaker 1: as a funny person. No never, no, no no no
Speaker 1: no no never never never. That was never part of
Speaker 1: my gig ever. Um And he was like, no, I
Speaker 1: think it's good because it'll make you feel comfortable around people.
Speaker 1: And it was just like loosen you up around people.
Speaker 1: And not a lot of comedians are taking these classes.
Speaker 1: There's like lawyers and accountants and all that teachers. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, great. So I took a class, my
Speaker 1: first ever class with um the Goddess Betsy Stover at
Speaker 1: you see at UCB, and hated it. Not because of Betsy,
Speaker 1: she was so great, but because everyone in that class
Speaker 1: was so thirsty to be on essent now you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like this is like one oh one class.
Speaker 1: People don't even know how to talk to each other,
Speaker 1: and they're like I want to be well fair all
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm just like I want to like
Speaker 1: just talk to people. So like freaked me out. It
Speaker 1: scared me, and then I just kind of stopped doing
Speaker 1: it because I was like, this is not for me.
Speaker 1: This is terrifying but the whole time I was just
Speaker 1: obsessed with it. I couldn't stop thinking about it, just
Speaker 1: like the intricacies of like what improv is the fact
Speaker 1: that you're like creating something made up, like there's no
Speaker 1: script at all. I was just like I went to
Speaker 1: every show. I was just like obsessed. For two years,
Speaker 1: I didn't do improv, but I watched it all the time.
Speaker 1: After two years, I was like, what am I doing?
Speaker 1: Like there, I have to go back, Like I gotta
Speaker 1: do this. I gotta do this. So I went to
Speaker 1: a place called the People's Improv Theater and changed my life.
Speaker 1: I took one class there with Kevin Scott, and it
Speaker 1: changed my Every single thing made sense to me, and
Speaker 1: it totally turned my world upside down. I learned how
Speaker 1: to be more comfortable with myself. I learned how to
Speaker 1: be more comfortable with myself around people. I wasn't afraid
Speaker 1: of like judgment or anything. Like I I stopped being
Speaker 1: scared of myself and my voice and started just being myself,
Speaker 1: my like my most comfortable, gay, brown ass self. And
Speaker 1: it cultivated this sort of confidence on stage that I'd
Speaker 1: never ever, ever, ever ever ever would have thought I had.
Speaker 1: You know, what I mean, And now I you know,
Speaker 1: and I to comedy. That's that's that's that's improv, bitch.
Speaker 1: This is real because I first time I ever met
Speaker 1: Oscar was it a show at the Mondent called Pace
Speaker 1: That's right, and it was the week of my story
Speaker 1: Parrots edition. It was just out of college. It was miserable,
Speaker 1: had no fucking idea what I was doing. I got
Speaker 1: invited to play at the show by Andrew talking talks
Speaker 1: Hi Andrew and Sacecar on stage and I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that guy is so fucking funny and look at his
Speaker 1: tattoos and look at his hat. He's so cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then instant when people start and you never forget.
Speaker 1: I did my set and then Oscar came up to
Speaker 1: me and was like, hey, that was really funny. I'm
Speaker 1: Oscar about when do you what do you do? Like,
Speaker 1: what's your deal? And I was like, oh, I'm auditioning
Speaker 1: for story parts tomorrow and I don't know how it's
Speaker 1: gonna go, but I'm excited. And you were like, well, great,
Speaker 1: good luck whatever, have fun. Um said something very encouraging.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but I forget um. But then after I
Speaker 1: got on UM, I remember like you were one of
Speaker 1: the first people to reach out and say congrats, I'm
Speaker 1: so excited for you. And from there this friendship blossomed.
Speaker 1: But it was because it was like you clock that
Speaker 1: as an audience member, even as a performer, just being
Speaker 1: like that person. And to hear you say that you,
Speaker 1: to hear you say that you like, were this reticent
Speaker 1: shy in your person before, it's like crazy, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I remember my very first class. You know, we go
Speaker 1: around and we talk about ourselves. I had such a
Speaker 1: severe stutter. I could not even say my own name.
Speaker 1: Never oh yes, yes, yes, closet it at this time. No, girl,
Speaker 1: Well I don't know. You contain this, honey, can you
Speaker 1: contain it? Star? I don't know, bitch. Oh girl, I
Speaker 1: was out. I was out. I was at at a
Speaker 1: very early age. Okay, I was out. Okay, So this
Speaker 1: is the real ty. I was out four years old.
Speaker 1: I was Cuma in the Hills. She's four years old
Speaker 1: doing Cumia in the hills, working it out down. That's right,
Speaker 1: that's right. The Colombian sign of music. Honey, Yes, hills
Speaker 1: are alive with the sounds of Cumia. Title of the
Speaker 1: Hills are Alive with the sounds of cumia. Okay, cool, continue, thanks.
Speaker 1: But I was in college. I was out. I was
Speaker 1: telling you. I mean, I was gay. I was a
Speaker 1: fucking you know what I mean? And I was still
Speaker 1: any girls because that's just the way. I don't know,
Speaker 1: because the girl. You know, I don't know how it
Speaker 1: is for you guys. But the girls are always thirsty
Speaker 1: for boys, do you know what I mean? They were
Speaker 1: always still they were pursuing me still, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say no. So I was taking these girls.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I don't know, it's a dark time
Speaker 1: in my past, you know what I mean. The girls
Speaker 1: were thirsty from a freshman year and then I think
Speaker 1: I really settled into who I was really was sophomore year,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I just didn't get interested anymore.
Speaker 1: Isn't it interesting how sometimes um no one is interested
Speaker 1: in But oh my god, now I'm just kidding. Um,
Speaker 1: did you ever have a girlfriend? Moe? No? Never? Never? Never?
Speaker 1: Who was your first kiss? Had girls? Um? Oh? First
Speaker 1: kiss was no? I don't want to say this, Come on,
Speaker 1: you must come on. Inquiring minds want to know. Okay,
Speaker 1: first kiss was this girl named Laura? No? Block and
Speaker 1: she was very but it was just a kind of
Speaker 1: a it was like a half Joe. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you guys in middle school. This is all coming back
Speaker 1: to me. These kids at my lunch table who I
Speaker 1: thought were my friends. This is I'm sorry. This is
Speaker 1: like the third traumatic school story I've shared on this podcast,
Speaker 1: but um, just throughout the episodes. But uh, these kids
Speaker 1: at my lunch table. I had such a huge crush
Speaker 1: on this girl, Beth West and why why did you
Speaker 1: have a She was just so I mean, like part
Speaker 1: of it was that she was athletic and it was
Speaker 1: like a little bit like Bush. But anyway, she was
Speaker 1: like this half Asian beauty. She was like also like
Speaker 1: just like a beautiful person. Um, and she was so funny,
Speaker 1: and we sat the lunch table together every day, and
Speaker 1: like I thought they were my friends, and then the
Speaker 1: entire lunch table decided to be fun to pay bath.
Speaker 1: She asked me out and date me for like a week. Girl,
Speaker 1: I that is a similar tale to my spell Oh
Speaker 1: my god, Junior high schoo cool eighth grade. I had
Speaker 1: this girl Vanessa. I don't know what her name was.
Speaker 1: She had Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, that's right, Vanessa Monroe. She
Speaker 1: she was like a very let's say, developed girl. Her
Speaker 1: boobs were gigant, I mean, like novelty size boobs. Down.
Speaker 1: Titter sound, titters the house down. And um she asked
Speaker 1: me out and I was like, yeah, of course sure.
Speaker 1: We dated for three days and this other girl, Elizabeth Selero,
Speaker 1: who I actually had a crush on because she didn't
Speaker 1: give a shit about anything and her favorite movie was
Speaker 1: Empire Records, And at the time I was just like, yes,
Speaker 1: she gets me. Um. She come up to me and
Speaker 1: she's like, you know it's a joke, right, It's a dare.
Speaker 1: Vanessa dated you because they dared her to date damn it. Um,
Speaker 1: But yes, not to co op this story experience, but
Speaker 1: like we share a common bond, like what did monstrous thing? Vidio?
Speaker 1: Kids are kids. Kids are the worst, they really are.
Speaker 1: So when you started succeeding in improv in terms of
Speaker 1: like the way you felt you were personally succeeding as
Speaker 1: a person. So then you dove back into classes, yes,
Speaker 1: fair to say yes, and then um talk about like
Speaker 1: the rise of of of you, like of Scott, like,
Speaker 1: because you really did become someone everyone knew. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't answer that. Well, I can say
Speaker 1: that you did, so it was do you think that
Speaker 1: it was just because they did? And do you think
Speaker 1: that it was? I just turned the mic and it
Speaker 1: went do you think it was because you were emanating
Speaker 1: a confidence and a positivity? And can you speak? That's
Speaker 1: what it is? You know what? Here's here's the thing too.
Speaker 1: When I was starting to do comedy, like fifty years ago, um,
Speaker 1: I started a long time ago. Um, there was no
Speaker 1: one like me. So I thought, my sort of comedy
Speaker 1: is not valid. The things that I see on stage
Speaker 1: are the only things that are funny with a capital F.
Speaker 1: Right to me, that's not the way that I spoke
Speaker 1: or communicated. So that means that meant like, if this
Speaker 1: is true, then what like, then I am not funny messenger,
Speaker 1: Like we saw the same kind of people, and you
Speaker 1: know what kind of people I'm talking about the age
Speaker 1: talking the same language, speaking the exact same way, and
Speaker 1: having everyone just laugh up. Early when I would just
Speaker 1: be like, I do not get this, do you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? So I was like, oh my, I
Speaker 1: am not valid. I'm not I don't exist in this world.
Speaker 1: And that's fine. Um, I'm gonna find something else, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But when the moment where I
Speaker 1: was like m okay was when I saw people like
Speaker 1: Jeff Hiller, Jeff blessed up, someone named Jess Allen from
Speaker 1: the People's Improv Theater, you know what I mean, Like

Speaker 1: guest Oscar Montoya super again. Now we were getting into
Speaker 1: it a little before we took a break about um,
Speaker 1: you know just how I hate to interrupt. It's been
Speaker 1: what like forty five an hour and Matt has not
Speaker 1: touched his muffin has been a lot of muff It's
Speaker 1: still sort of just there. And it's how I ate
Speaker 1: some of the muffin on the break. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to have my mouthful and be quote unquote masticating, which
Speaker 1: is a bow and yang asked vocabulary word if I
Speaker 1: ever heard one? Sad disgusting. Matt Rogers is literally slapping
Speaker 1: the face of Latin American culture by not by not
Speaker 1: eating this peanut coloda muffin. How is that so? Because
Speaker 1: we went to we went to a coffee shop around
Speaker 1: the corner that producer Bratt and Amy recommended called Tirema.
Speaker 1: It was gorgeous. I literally as I've been eating it,
Speaker 1: and I've been savoring it. Use that on the s
Speaker 1: A T S savor s A v O R okay
Speaker 1: T word. I've been thinking to myself, what a gag
Speaker 1: this muffin is? Okay, Well, then honey, let's all try something. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's all try. I don't mind at all. And also,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm loving the strawberry lemonade tea. Do I
Speaker 1: think I ordered too big of a size? Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I do love it. You know, I'm having a hard
Speaker 1: time tasting the pineapple I tasted a coconut. I guess
Speaker 1: the cocon up. What the heck? Man, that's good what.
Speaker 1: I love the muffin. I'm not saying that I don't
Speaker 1: love the muffin. I'm just saying, if it's a pina
Speaker 1: colada muffin, where's the pineapples? A pineapple? But no? Oscar
Speaker 1: clocked Matt earlier for not loving the muffin enough and
Speaker 1: for not talking. You didn't eat the muffin top. The
Speaker 1: muffin top had a lot of good peanut colt of flavor. Okay.
Speaker 1: I was shocked when we walked into the shop and
Speaker 1: its headset peanut colada. I was like, you were like
Speaker 1: I must. I was like, I have to order them,
Speaker 1: and said I have to. I actually can't be at
Speaker 1: a restaurant without ordering a peanut colada. If they offer it,
Speaker 1: is that's you, that's your drink. That's my jam. Peanut
Speaker 1: clot over a bloody Mary. Oh, here's the thing. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing about bloody mary. Though this is a good
Speaker 1: sun moment. Okay, which one are you gonna drop off
Speaker 1: a cliff? Bloody Mary. Commonly, when you go into a
Speaker 1: restaurant and you asked for a bloody mary. They can
Speaker 1: act like they act as if you're giving them a
Speaker 1: hard time. Whereas a peanut colata very commonly will from
Speaker 1: a machine ready made with the with the liquor already
Speaker 1: in it, or it's just not a big deal to
Speaker 1: put the liquor in the glass. They I very rarely
Speaker 1: see people have to like put it in the blender
Speaker 1: and actually make a pinic colada anymore. People places that
Speaker 1: serve peint coladas to have them ready to go. Whereas
Speaker 1: a bloody mirror you kind of have to put that together.
Speaker 1: You can have the mix and a thing, but you
Speaker 1: still got to put the alcohol in, and you know,
Speaker 1: you have to garnish, and it's it's a whole it's
Speaker 1: a whole adventure lamp. So what I'm saying to this
Speaker 1: question is I would always rather have a bloody mirror
Speaker 1: where no matter where I am. However, it's a difficult
Speaker 1: question because I'm sometimes as someone that's in the industry
Speaker 1: restaurants and I don't want to funk with them, and
Speaker 1: also I don't ever want to deal with, you know,
Speaker 1: being the person that's that person at the restaurant. I
Speaker 1: never ever want to be the person that's keeping the
Speaker 1: waiter standing there, which I said to you, yes today
Speaker 1: you read me for film, because not for nothing. But
Speaker 1: that was a frustrating situation. But you don't understand. There
Speaker 1: is anxiety there when I have to order, because I
Speaker 1: truly don't know. I paralyzed when there's too many choices.
Speaker 1: I understand. And at a diner it's like that is
Speaker 1: that is where I am tested, okay, because it's too
Speaker 1: many Like, just tell me what to eat and I
Speaker 1: will eat it as long as there's no onions are
Speaker 1: peppers because I hate eating those things. You know what.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling. I'm going to talk about this
Speaker 1: in a little while. That's all. That's all I'll say
Speaker 1: about that. Okay, Okay, let's put a pin on that.
Speaker 1: Let's move on turn, honey. I was I was about
Speaker 1: to like literally exalt at the feet of oprah improv
Speaker 1: which is oh I, which is the opposite of Io.
Speaker 1: But then he had stopped me and disrespected me about
Speaker 1: my muffinie on my own show. He has disrespected, he
Speaker 1: has disrespected at the hands and feet of the host.
Speaker 1: I will not I will not apologize. Let that beef.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. We are co host and as a
Speaker 1: co host, how do you feel that he just turned
Speaker 1: and disrespected He did not just put you in a
Speaker 1: tough place. He's putting me in a very heat. Put
Speaker 1: you in a tough place. Not my co host could
Speaker 1: be disrespecting me, but Oscar. You you, you came for
Speaker 1: Oscar and his with his behavior at the diner yesterday.
Speaker 1: You came for me, but Oscar had to had to
Speaker 1: defend himself and you. For you to feel disrespected at
Speaker 1: a rightful retort is disrespectful. There's no excuse for your
Speaker 1: behavior yesterday. And also I'm going to call her out,
Speaker 1: Rachel Chapman. That giggling and laughing was out of control.
Speaker 1: And I was right on the brink. I was right
Speaker 1: on the brink. There was no reason for her to
Speaker 1: be laughing like that. I understand that it's He's part
Speaker 1: of her brand. The waiter turned to her and said,
Speaker 1: are you ready? And she laughed and it was It
Speaker 1: was inexcusable. But damn girl, you, like John Malcoms, the
Speaker 1: ship out of that you like went into the body
Speaker 1: of that waiter, and like you, you're like living his
Speaker 1: story right now. I live his story every Saturday. I
Speaker 1: live his entire story. Yeah who okay, okay, if it
Speaker 1: has to be me, it will be me. If the
Speaker 1: end of my life is telling the story of a server,
Speaker 1: that is my cross to bear. A story like my
Speaker 1: has never been told. Oh boy, there's a story behind
Speaker 1: that quote which we can not share. If we can't
Speaker 1: why why can't win? I mean we could? Should we?
Speaker 1: I just want to say this short story, the short
Speaker 1: version of the story is UM, Matt and I and
Speaker 1: David Mazzoni, previous guest of the pod Friends. David, he
Speaker 1: was there, and John Socolo was John Soccolo. We we
Speaker 1: just did a show in Chicago with popular lad years ago.
Speaker 1: This is like three or four years ago, a long
Speaker 1: time ago. And then we went to Berlin, famous Chicago
Speaker 1: gay night club. UM and David and Matt had sort
Speaker 1: of paired off with these two two strangers, and Matt
Speaker 1: has this whole fucking journey with the guy that he
Speaker 1: was with. But it basically I went back alone to
Speaker 1: the place where you're staying at John's place and Matt
Speaker 1: and I were sharing a bed. But that night I
Speaker 1: just had it to myself. I was like great, and
Speaker 1: then at four in the fucking morning, that's like I
Speaker 1: wake up to Matt crawling over me, wasted, and then
Speaker 1: he whisper. He leans down and whispers into my ear.
Speaker 1: A story like mine has never been. I did not
Speaker 1: do it in the accent. I pushed him off me
Speaker 1: and screamed, bloody murder. Let's just say it's a miracle.
Speaker 1: I'm not dead. It's a It was like an episode
Speaker 1: of Girls. But like probably if Lena Donald wrote this
Speaker 1: episode for her character and passed it into HBO, they'd
Speaker 1: be like, no, this didn't happen. Wow, anyway, Um, how
Speaker 1: do we get into this a story like my never ever?
Speaker 1: Told the servers, Um, I want to keep exulting at
Speaker 1: the feet of Oscar Montoya. Man, Yes, I'm listen. I
Speaker 1: I think there's so much to this idea of like
Speaker 1: when you're having fun, that they're having fun. And I
Speaker 1: finally learned that, like I think Amy Poehler said it,
Speaker 1: and that's what it was like super clear to me.
Speaker 1: But it was becoming very clear to me when there
Speaker 1: was people in my life, honestly, Oscar, like you, like
Speaker 1: Josh and Aaron, Um, you know, people that I really
Speaker 1: looked up to. Um, that we're succeeding and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden it just clicked to me. It was like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, yeah, like you can't give a fuck, you
Speaker 1: just have to do you, And that's that's got to
Speaker 1: be what it's all about. Here's the thing, too, we
Speaker 1: respect individual voices. It's not it's not even about like
Speaker 1: liking or disliking. We respect the voices that we know
Speaker 1: are true to them. I'm sure there are plenty of
Speaker 1: people who don't necessarily like what I do, like or
Speaker 1: like or or Matt or Oscar do, and that's fine,
Speaker 1: but like hopefully there is that base level of at
Speaker 1: least respect with like staying true to some something about us.
Speaker 1: You actually really influenced me um as a director when
Speaker 1: you said yeah. You were like, you're gonna come over
Speaker 1: here and then what you're gonna do is feel your fantasy.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god. And something happened
Speaker 1: where I was like, I'm just gonna literally create my fantasy.
Speaker 1: And I was like, wow, if I think it's funny
Speaker 1: and I look confident doing it, like that's your fantasy.
Speaker 1: It's about creating an experience. It's about creating um the fun.
Speaker 1: But you're fun you know what I mean? Like, feel
Speaker 1: your fantasy and it feels real and authentic, and it's
Speaker 1: good to even say that out loud. It's really good
Speaker 1: to even say that out loud and remind yourself you
Speaker 1: have to feel your fantasy. And I give that note
Speaker 1: a lot when I'm directing girls because I know, I
Speaker 1: tell the young pirates because that's the note. It doesn't work,
Speaker 1: that is the note. Um, it works the people that
Speaker 1: are going to get it and people that are ready
Speaker 1: to hear it. Yes, because some people don't even know
Speaker 1: what their fantasy is. And but that's part of the journey,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like solidifying that fantasy
Speaker 1: and just living in it. You know who feels their
Speaker 1: fantasy too and lives in their fantasy, which we have
Speaker 1: to get on is Mike Calton feels his fantasy time.
Speaker 1: And he actually when I started to do I did
Speaker 1: a character one time at I think it was at
Speaker 1: the Grillness and I did this character and he was there,
Speaker 1: maybe he was also doing the show. And I got
Speaker 1: off and he came over to me and he was
Speaker 1: all he said was and he would never remember this,
Speaker 1: but he was like, I just want you to know
Speaker 1: it's working. It's working. Keep doing it. He's like, keep
Speaker 1: doing it. It's working. And that meant so much to
Speaker 1: me because I was like, yeah, I mean, this person
Speaker 1: is someone who's unapologetically himself and it's working. And so
Speaker 1: the fact that he told me that, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: thank god, Yes, but it's it's like that. And then
Speaker 1: to see like you're you're like big sisters doing that,
Speaker 1: like that's very encouraging for sure. And I mean we've
Speaker 1: we've been we've been seeing the people who don't live
Speaker 1: that way, but like we'll project this identity and then
Speaker 1: just like play to that sort of thing, and it
Speaker 1: just reads is artificial, is not true, and it feels
Speaker 1: like work. And the last thing I want to see
Speaker 1: someone on stage doing is working. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see people working on stage. That's not fun. I need
Speaker 1: to see people living their lives on stage. That's all.
Speaker 1: That's all I want to see. It's not about funny,
Speaker 1: it's not about clever, it's not about smart. It really
Speaker 1: is all about watching people have the most fun on
Speaker 1: that stage for as long as they can and just
Speaker 1: being swept up in their fantasy the truth. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? You literally do you feel your
Speaker 1: fantasy is part one, Part two. Gag yourself your own
Speaker 1: rule number rule number one of culture, Feel your fantasy.
Speaker 1: Rule number two of culture. Gag yourself, be your own
Speaker 1: net gag. This is when when the inevitable book comes out,
Speaker 1: be a pamphlet, honey, pamphlet. We're going to be the
Speaker 1: first people to successfully sell a pamphlets, right, this will
Speaker 1: be the selling culture since Thomas Payne, since common sense.
Speaker 1: It's common sense, that's right. Selling for the stars, bowing
Speaker 1: for this. We're going to start a revolution. Yes, I
Speaker 1: just feel like that. There's so much to that now,
Speaker 1: switching gears. Okay, that fast. Last night and this is
Speaker 1: literally filling your friends. Last night we did an escape
Speaker 1: the room. Oh yes, an escape escape escaped the room.
Speaker 1: Have you ever done? I have done. I've done a
Speaker 1: couple of escaped the rooms and honey to mix reviews,
Speaker 1: mixed reviews. This is what were this is This is
Speaker 1: your first one, first one ever. For me, this is
Speaker 1: like my fourth one. But once as soon as we
Speaker 1: told Oscar what we did last night, were enthusiastically to him,
Speaker 1: we said, we didn't escape the room. Last name was
Speaker 1: so fun. We should do in this week, Oscar, don't
Speaker 1: do it. I don't know about that. Don't do that.
Speaker 1: Tell us what's the team? What do you mean, what's
Speaker 1: the what's the shade? It's not about the shape. It's
Speaker 1: not about It's not about the Escape the Room. It
Speaker 1: really isn't. It's about the people and Escape the Room
Speaker 1: because it can be the best experience and also the
Speaker 1: most taxing journey you'll ever have. People's true selves because
Speaker 1: it is. It is about how you play this. It's
Speaker 1: about how you play the escape the Room. Do you
Speaker 1: play Escape the Room to literally escape the room, or
Speaker 1: do you play Escape the Room to just kick you
Speaker 1: with your friends? I key with my friends, and some
Speaker 1: people who play to Escape the Room do not appreciate
Speaker 1: the way I play, And so then you know, riffs happen,
Speaker 1: so do you? So what are you saying you would
Speaker 1: deliberately sabotage? I don't know. Girls don't like that. But
Speaker 1: I'm not reading you. I'm just saying, like, would you
Speaker 1: say that you play different? How is there else to
Speaker 1: play different besides not trying to win? No, it's just
Speaker 1: like getting caught up in like the d For me,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, there's like things to look at.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gagging in that world. I'm like submerged
Speaker 1: in that world. So I get lost. I'm like, look
Speaker 1: at this little thing. Oh my gosh, and they're like Oscar,
Speaker 1: pay attention, and I'm just like, okay, in a minute,
Speaker 1: but right now I'm really looking at these decorative tiki cups,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I do both if you
Speaker 1: because I feel like last night was both because there
Speaker 1: were a couple of people that were like, legit going
Speaker 1: for it. Meanwhile, they said over the speakers like, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: if you find five eggs, you win a free game.
Speaker 1: So I was like, amazing, you guys do that how
Speaker 1: I play? That's me? That's me. And also there's a
Speaker 1: part of me too, like something about like just just
Speaker 1: games or any sort of competitive thing does bring out
Speaker 1: a thing that was dormant. And a lot of my friends,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm just like, oh, I didn't know
Speaker 1: you this way. And then they turned into like little monsters,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm just like, oh I do WHOA
Speaker 1: one snapped at me three times during the game. I
Speaker 1: feel I feel like, you know, not to pun but
Speaker 1: this this will be your Frankenstein monster moment. Like I
Speaker 1: feel like you would turn into a beast, and these
Speaker 1: escaped the room. In my defense, let me just say
Speaker 1: last night I really felt like I struck the proper
Speaker 1: balance between having fun with my friends and just doing
Speaker 1: it for the sake of doing it and having fun.
Speaker 1: And this team worked exercise and working towards the goal
Speaker 1: of leaving the room. Now I am shocked at this allegation.
Speaker 1: I snapped at Matt, there was no such thing happened, Matt,
Speaker 1: how dare you When I was turning the key, and
Speaker 1: we've been through it with keys this week because earlier
Speaker 1: in the week Bowen he gave I had the keys,
Speaker 1: was opening the door and he goes, wrong key, buddy,
Speaker 1: and I said, I have never heard you say the
Speaker 1: word buddy. He called me buddy, and I said to
Speaker 1: him and I quote, don't call me buddy, you condescending bitch.
Speaker 1: I have never heard you say buddy. Think about that quote.
Speaker 1: I just very nice. It was like, hey, wrong key, buddy,
Speaker 1: and you know, you know he and I know. And
Speaker 1: then Matt says, just Matt's pretty pretty hammered at this point, goes,
Speaker 1: I don't call me buddy, you condescending bitch. And here's
Speaker 1: the thing. We both meant every word that we said,
Speaker 1: and then it was fine two seconds later. But in
Speaker 1: that moment, I was like, how fucking okay, But an
Speaker 1: escaping room, when did I ever snap at you? There
Speaker 1: were a couple of times where you were just getting
Speaker 1: on edge and it wasn't about me. But I could
Speaker 1: tell that it didn't help that it was me because
Speaker 1: other people that were in the room. I don't think
Speaker 1: you would have been been comfortable being like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this it was you. But because it was me you
Speaker 1: had you felt comfortable, which is fine. You felt comfortable
Speaker 1: being like Matt, no, that do it that way? And
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, okay, wow, this is all about
Speaker 1: airing laundry between the two of you. Laundry. I'm not laundry. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not like, I'm not letting this stick to me,
Speaker 1: but like it didn't really happen like that. I don't
Speaker 1: know what was your what was your version of the
Speaker 1: events you were fussing around with the keys. I will
Speaker 1: be a limited time, like I go, Matt, it's not
Speaker 1: that one others sat fuxing around with the keys. That's
Speaker 1: tricky vocabulary. It's literally it didn't bother me because I
Speaker 1: was doing the wrong key, so I needed to be told.
Speaker 1: And there was one moment where I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't remember the specifics, but like anyway, it did happen
Speaker 1: a couple of times where I was like, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter to me at all, but like, did I clock that?
Speaker 1: It was like definitely Bowen Bowen's voice. I was like, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: he's you know, getting a little bit on the edge
Speaker 1: with me. Okay, but it was my first time. See,
Speaker 1: this is a lot of stress, a lot of stress
Speaker 1: that we don't need. I'm not stressed. I'm only stress.
Speaker 1: I'm only blessed, bless up. Look, Oscar, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: But also there are some people out there in the
Speaker 1: third category who are just a hybrid of both, and
Speaker 1: I can I put myself in that bot. Okay, great
Speaker 1: that I think the three of us would slay. I
Speaker 1: think so too. Yes, how many people were in that
Speaker 1: room with you? Eight? It was too many? Exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. But we still made it out. We
Speaker 1: should say we did make it out. We had seventy
Speaker 1: five minutes to make it out. We made it out
Speaker 1: in six. It was the hardest room in the entire
Speaker 1: comfort that it was okay, So it was great. What's
Speaker 1: the place, let's plug it. I think it's called sixty
Speaker 1: Escape or something, sixty room or something like that. It's
Speaker 1: on it's on okay, very big plague. It's on Santa
Speaker 1: Monica Boulevard. Um and yeah, that's it. Uh So anyway, Um,
Speaker 1: there's one called Grandma's House that was the Moss House.
Speaker 1: So you go into this really nice, quaint, funny little
Speaker 1: grandma's kitchen, living room situation. And Grandma's left you a ladder.
Speaker 1: She says, I'm so sorry. I haven't I can't see you.
Speaker 1: But after your uncle, your grandfather, Cecil died. Um, I've
Speaker 1: been working on a project, on my last project, but
Speaker 1: um blah blah blah blah blah, and I can't come
Speaker 1: back to the house. So can you help me hang
Speaker 1: the painture the pictures? And that's one of the and
Speaker 1: that's when it starts. Then you find out feel too much.
Speaker 1: I don't want to real too much. But as you go,
Speaker 1: you took this you this is the room that you
Speaker 1: want to see the room and we were in last day.
Speaker 1: But then as you there's multiple rooms that you work
Speaker 1: through and then a storyline unfolds that ends in a
Speaker 1: robbery of some sort and it's very exciting. And they
Speaker 1: played the music while was happening to make you feel
Speaker 1: like yeah, and he's honestly, that's I think what the
Speaker 1: gag was. It was like the Disney little Boy in me.
Speaker 1: It was like that wants to feel that fantasy. And
Speaker 1: I felt very involved for sure. Oh it's like you're plugged.
Speaker 1: You're plugged into a movie at that moment. And yes,
Speaker 1: and so now we're kind of trying to find we
Speaker 1: want to do another one while we're here, and we're
Speaker 1: trying to figure out whether to do a scary one
Speaker 1: or not. Our friend Colin sent us a listing for
Speaker 1: one called The Basement, where it's literally like a fucking
Speaker 1: serial killer has bound and gagged you and he's thrown
Speaker 1: you in his basement. Oh and also he's a cannibal.
Speaker 1: Work your way out and it's like, oh, ship, but
Speaker 1: like maybe that that like that's something that's happened to
Speaker 1: people that it's fine. I went to to actors, Um,
Speaker 1: I love that. Anyway, I think I should do it.
Speaker 1: I think I think we should all do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think paper Roulett's going to be here
Speaker 1: soon and l and we're going to do it. There
Speaker 1: was one that I went to where it was like
Speaker 1: mental asylum and I think it was just called asylum
Speaker 1: and it was like everyone had to get out of
Speaker 1: the room. But they were like, okay, one of you
Speaker 1: has to be locked into a straight jacket. So while
Speaker 1: they're doing what we're doing the puzzles, you have to also,
Speaker 1: And I volunteered. I was like me because you know,
Speaker 1: I am very like distracted by everything, So I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is a fun way to give me like a task.
Speaker 1: I'm very like good if you tell me what to do,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: let me get in there. I got in the in
Speaker 1: the straight jacket. I was like great, So no one's
Speaker 1: gonna be mad at me if I don't do the
Speaker 1: work because I'm busy. I could always be like the
Speaker 1: straight jacket girl. I gota that straight jacket in like
Speaker 1: two seconds because you couldn't handle I just moved my
Speaker 1: arms around. That's it. No, it was the easiest. They
Speaker 1: locked it. But like the way a straight jacket is
Speaker 1: like you can literally just raise your arms and then
Speaker 1: you're then like sort of just like step out of
Speaker 1: the straight jacket without unlocking the lock. So then I
Speaker 1: was just like, okay, okay, here we go, here we go.
Speaker 1: But you know whatever that was really and so you
Speaker 1: were not for that one. There were moments, speaks and
Speaker 1: valleys because it's all but you're saying, it's all about
Speaker 1: the people. It's all about the people. Premises matter too,
Speaker 1: because there's only one that's an old failed record studio.
Speaker 1: But sometimes premises will disappoint you. Sometimes it's just like, oh,
Speaker 1: this the setup is perfect, and then it's like if
Speaker 1: it ends in a just a big fart in comedy,
Speaker 1: you premise that's the t that's that's true. And if
Speaker 1: it ends in the fart, that's how you know it
Speaker 1: sucks yea. And then that's when the edit comes and
Speaker 1: you're just like, I'm so sorry, right, but that out.
Speaker 1: But but what Oscar was saying about the people being like,
Speaker 1: either they are very goal oriented to a fault, or
Speaker 1: they just want to have fun and kicking with their
Speaker 1: friends applies to stage, applies to the stage. Sure, and
Speaker 1: it was such a Now I'm thinking looking back, it's like,
Speaker 1: was it a really good experience? Because honestly, the eight
Speaker 1: of us that were in there, Like a couple of
Speaker 1: us knew each other really well, but like there was
Speaker 1: people in the group that I don't know very well,
Speaker 1: and I wonder if that put the focus on the
Speaker 1: task instead of like this person is going to be
Speaker 1: this kind of person in there, and I know I'm
Speaker 1: gonna butt heads with them. But so that's interesting. That's interesting,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, Like if we went
Speaker 1: with our close friends, the personalities would emerge and we
Speaker 1: all know the dynamics. So it's like you play out
Speaker 1: our friend click is filled with strong personality. There's no
Speaker 1: one with a passive personality. You know, Well, yeah, actually,
Speaker 1: But the thing is, I'm kind of maybe it was
Speaker 1: my first is because it's my first time, but thinking
Speaker 1: about like how your true colors come out and the
Speaker 1: escape the room. I kind of surprised myself last night
Speaker 1: because I really was letting other people do everything and
Speaker 1: you were going to be more It's not about letting,
Speaker 1: it's more about like other people were doing something, and
Speaker 1: I was kind of like very much not jumping ahead.
Speaker 1: Like I was the kind of person where when a
Speaker 1: door would open, I'd be the one to run to
Speaker 1: the door and say it opened. Okay, so let's think
Speaker 1: about it this way. In these escape the rooms, like
Speaker 1: the music is playing, you know what I mean? You
Speaker 1: feel like you're in a movie, right, and like it
Speaker 1: is like a movie. And with that being said, like
Speaker 1: what character would you play in this movie in the
Speaker 1: in an escape the room sort of situation, first victim
Speaker 1: Drew barrymore. Really that's my goal. That's interesting, that's that's
Speaker 1: a gag because I would I would say that you'd
Speaker 1: be like, okay, guys, focus up, let's think of a plan.
Speaker 1: I feel like you'd be very much that person. You
Speaker 1: know what. Maybe here's the thing. I take back my answer.
Speaker 1: I think I'm very much I'm very in my heart,
Speaker 1: I'm very much a director. So I guess like I
Speaker 1: would be the kind of person that, like, if I
Speaker 1: felt like something was going askew, I would be like,
Speaker 1: can we just focus back up for a second, we
Speaker 1: com you need to do this. Like I feel like
Speaker 1: if I were corral everybody. Yeah, And doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: I would necessarily be the one figuring out what to do,
Speaker 1: but I feel like in terms of keeping people on task,
Speaker 1: that is my personality and I do make decisions, but
Speaker 1: that's not I mean, that's just just in my ordinary.
Speaker 1: If I don't know, escape the room is different. What
Speaker 1: about you? I feel like i'd be the person who
Speaker 1: wouldn't say a single thing until everyone is stumped, and
Speaker 1: then I would say something and that's when I would activate.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? I'd be that kind
Speaker 1: of player. I mean, that's that's the kind of player
Speaker 1: I am. And these sort of escape the room things
Speaker 1: when people when too many people are talking, I'm just like, okay,
Speaker 1: that literally too many cooks in the kitchen. I will
Speaker 1: not participate until people are just like, we don't know
Speaker 1: what to do. Then I'm like, okay, now now I'm
Speaker 1: of use. Do you know what I mean? So yeah,
Speaker 1: what about you? Bone? I'm a thirsty little fuck for attention,
Speaker 1: so I so I know. Um, I'm just trying to think, like, okay,
Speaker 1: how may be how would I behave in an improv
Speaker 1: group game? And I feel in group games I'm always like,
Speaker 1: now I have the best fucking singer, and which is real?
Speaker 1: And like back when I used to do that, well
Speaker 1: you do have the best singers? No, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: that's not the point I want. But part of me
Speaker 1: the way I behaved last night, was very like I'm
Speaker 1: going to pour over the small details that just for clues.
Speaker 1: I'm going to help. I'm gonna be that tech support
Speaker 1: in a way. I was like there was like the
Speaker 1: in the in the Grandma room, like there was just
Speaker 1: a bunch of cookbooks and I just like flipped through
Speaker 1: every page just to see if there was something. And
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, you guys figure that stupid puzzle out. Well,
Speaker 1: I figure out, like if there's anything in here that
Speaker 1: we can gather. He's very detail oriented. I was just
Speaker 1: like researching in that research but that's not a behavior necessary, No,
Speaker 1: it is, and it's very helpful and that and you
Speaker 1: actually did. You actually were very hands on and detail
Speaker 1: oriented and like you were getting the minutia in Like,
Speaker 1: for example, I think my personality is more big decisions
Speaker 1: and choices, and then the group kind of goes and
Speaker 1: does that thing. But I'm very rarely the person that's
Speaker 1: in the trench just figuring, like for example, like I'm
Speaker 1: the quote unquote director of paper Roulette. But like in
Speaker 1: terms of what makes the group, like in terms of
Speaker 1: the specifics what makes the group shine, like everyone else
Speaker 1: has like more specific tasks you think big picture, you
Speaker 1: think very much details. Yeah, that's great. This is a
Speaker 1: good combination the two of you. Maybe you both should
Speaker 1: do a scape room together and like see how you
Speaker 1: fare would we could we do a two person one
Speaker 1: people do? People do it by themselves there, people go
Speaker 1: in by themselves. That's that's bold that I don't think
Speaker 1: would be very fun. Our producer bets laughing because he
Speaker 1: just thinks it's sad as how. I don't know. I'm obsessed.
Speaker 1: I'm the kind of person that gets really obsessed with
Speaker 1: this kind of thing, like like you know, for you,
Speaker 1: because what Colin, our friend Colin said about you is
Speaker 1: that this was very Orlando was very immersive. It was
Speaker 1: like taking you through this linear progression and with it,
Speaker 1: you know, And I think I think it is it's
Speaker 1: like a little taste of the theme park where before
Speaker 1: you do it, they sit you down to watch a video.
Speaker 1: Me too, I love that shape, me too. I'm all
Speaker 1: about that. She goes about it. The girl who was
Speaker 1: such a gag, the girl that was that was rubbing it,
Speaker 1: she was amazing. And she was like, Okay, well first
Speaker 1: we're gonna sit down and watch a brief video. And
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, yes, I was just so happy,
Speaker 1: and she was it's amazing because I think that they
Speaker 1: do have a hand in setting them up, right, Yeah
Speaker 1: she was. I asked her, was like, how long does
Speaker 1: it take Free to reset that? Because it was a
Speaker 1: mess by the end of it was crazy lots of props,
Speaker 1: lots of props and lots of like papers strewn everywhere.
Speaker 1: And I was like, how long does it take Free
Speaker 1: to reset this? And she was like, oh, I could
Speaker 1: do this and this is like a four room amazed
Speaker 1: mind you. She was like, I could do this in
Speaker 1: about five minutes. And I was like, wowa, but think
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's really just like this goes here, this goes here,
Speaker 1: this goes here totally right, totally, but if you miss
Speaker 1: one thing, but if something is missing, and she said
Speaker 1: at one point she had to come over the last
Speaker 1: periogod and she was like, are you guys missing this object?
Speaker 1: And we were like yeah, and she goes, oh, right here,
Speaker 1: And I think it was something was supposed to pop
Speaker 1: out more than it, but they're usually very good. Usually
Speaker 1: throughout the whole thing. It was like there a sound
Speaker 1: effect would accompany us accomplishing the task. That very Zelda.
Speaker 1: That's very cute. I loved it and now talking about it,
Speaker 1: I really want to do one again. We'll do it
Speaker 1: and Oscar scary one. Okay, I don't know the live
Speaker 1: actress thing. It's like I know, it'll either make it
Speaker 1: great or it'll be Have you never been to a
Speaker 1: haunted house? I have, but like ones where it's like
Speaker 1: someone all they're doing is chasing you with a machette.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, well what what? What performed? I mean
Speaker 1: it's a performance, sure, but it's like I'm going to
Speaker 1: be stuck in a room with this person, Like they
Speaker 1: better have materielle, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I live for them, the haunted houses, my sister and Henry,
Speaker 1: and it's very weird, like I love to do the
Speaker 1: walk through haunted houses and I love them. Um, but
Speaker 1: I can't sit and watch like a stressful movie or
Speaker 1: television show. It's very bizarrely so stupid, um because I
Speaker 1: only like to watch stressful and scary stuff because like
Speaker 1: I don't know, I've talked about this so much the pod,
Speaker 1: but like I guess when I'm sitting there and it's
Speaker 1: happening in front of me, like you're not doing anywhere,
Speaker 1: like at least in the Haunted house, I could run
Speaker 1: the funk away. Yeah. Um. But anyway, I went to
Speaker 1: Universal Studios for their Halloween Horror Nights and they do
Speaker 1: a great job. Yeah, I mean they had I think
Speaker 1: they announced it's coming back. They're going to do it.
Speaker 1: We should go in October and we should go next.
Speaker 1: Come come because my sister lives down there. She came over,
Speaker 1: Henry and I went and we did all the haunted
Speaker 1: houses and they had a yag worthy American Horror story
Speaker 1: house where there was they did I guess they did
Speaker 1: Murder House, which was season one freak show and hotel
Speaker 1: and so you know, there was a there was an
Speaker 1: angel La Bassett walking around them. There. Angel La Bassett
Speaker 1: jumped out at me with a knife and I literally
Speaker 1: said to her, I'm like thank you, Yeah, you're like
Speaker 1: I live. I was like literally this and they're so good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh they get the best. And I don't. I'm not
Speaker 1: don't cut corners. No, I'm not an American horr a
Speaker 1: Story fan because like I said, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: like to watch that ship. But my sister loves the show,
Speaker 1: and we got out of there and she was like,
Speaker 1: you guys need to watch that show to understand how
Speaker 1: much they just nailed it. Like every scene that was
Speaker 1: that you could remember from the show was in there,
Speaker 1: Like it was very specific. And also they because it's
Speaker 1: universal and it's like movies and stuff, they recreate. There
Speaker 1: was one for the Exorcist, which is the only one
Speaker 1: we didn't do because my sister was like, I'm not
Speaker 1: doing any kind of health devil ship. The Exorcism ship
Speaker 1: really bothers my sister. A lot of people do a
Speaker 1: lot of there. There is a weird sort of like
Speaker 1: kind of like gradient of like when it comes to
Speaker 1: religion or like you know, God and the Devil, they
Speaker 1: won't get into it. But if it's like syrial killers
Speaker 1: or like werewolves and vampires and it's fair game, which
Speaker 1: is so funny to me. What's the biggest gag hard
Speaker 1: movie for you we're talking about. I mean, you're getting it.
Speaker 1: Let's go asking for it. I mean, like, well kind though,
Speaker 1: because there's difference to give us, like can't be like
Speaker 1: gum sleepaway camp categories basket case. Okay, I gotta check
Speaker 1: that it's the best what about serial killer? Serial Killer
Speaker 1: sort of I mean a sleepaway camp is like my
Speaker 1: favorite slasher sort of movie. Um, sort of like Exorcist
Speaker 1: is truly one of the I mean, it's basic as
Speaker 1: hell to say, but it truly is one of the
Speaker 1: most scariest movies you'll ever see, just because the way
Speaker 1: that they dealt with the quote unquote scares of it
Speaker 1: is so grounded that you're just like, oh my God,
Speaker 1: like this we live, we live in this world, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Um, what's like, what's like your
Speaker 1: favorite like thrillers, like psychological thriller. I guess that's specific.
Speaker 1: You don't have to flight plan. I was first saw
Speaker 1: Red Eyes great, Red Eyes good. I like Red Eye.
Speaker 1: I love Red Eye. See the first Saw I did.
Speaker 1: I did like Saw. I did like the song. I mean,
Speaker 1: people a lot of people hate that sort of like
Speaker 1: torture porn stuff. I don't. I really I enjoy the
Speaker 1: torture stuff Eyes because I hate I do I mean,
Speaker 1: Human Centerpede I liked, you know what I mean. I'm
Speaker 1: into all that kind of stuff, gross disgusting stuff. I love.
Speaker 1: Oh my, I don't even basket Case is a movie
Speaker 1: directed by Frank hennin laughter. And I know this because
Speaker 1: I have a straining order against him. Um. Yes, man, okay,
Speaker 1: I never heard this. Yes, let's get into it. So. Um.
Speaker 1: In New York, I used to host a show called
Speaker 1: Midnight Movies with Montoya that's my last name at the
Speaker 1: pit and once a month, every Saturday, I would host.
Speaker 1: I would put up I would screen one of my
Speaker 1: favorite like be like movies. And for my birthday, and
Speaker 1: you know, I've screened like The Room and Mac and
Speaker 1: Me and like like those classics sort of like kind
Speaker 1: of movies. And for my birthday, I wanted to screen
Speaker 1: basket Case. And in those movies, I used to get
Speaker 1: someone who worked in the movie to talk about it
Speaker 1: and stuff. It's like very mystery science theater, didn't you
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah wow. So in in um so for basket
Speaker 1: because I got one of the actresses, Beverly Bonner, who
Speaker 1: is just a true gift to the world, and um,
Speaker 1: she she was like so excited and she's like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I have to tell Frank about this because
Speaker 1: he will love uh. And then instead of loving it,
Speaker 1: he sent me an email being like I do not
Speaker 1: approve of this, Like I don't want people to come
Speaker 1: into my movies and making fun of my work. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't understand you are my hero, Like
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with all of your movies, Brain Damage, Frank
Speaker 1: and Hooker, like all of those are just like huge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like and I'm like, it's actually just going to be
Speaker 1: a celebration of your work, Like I just want people
Speaker 1: to like find out more about you. And he was like,
Speaker 1: I will get my lawyers involved if you don't stop.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, well, I much respect, but this
Speaker 1: is a legally I'm a loud to scream, you know.
Speaker 1: Um and sure enough, I gotta, I gotta. I got
Speaker 1: a letter that's like your heroes moment a little bit,
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Yeah, yeah, but you know I I
Speaker 1: Frank Kennon letter has emailed me. I have his email address.
Speaker 1: I gotta let. I mean, like, I and why the
Speaker 1: restraining order? Um, I think that was his Like I
Speaker 1: think it was like he wanted to go further than
Speaker 1: a season desist, Like a season desist was not enough.
Speaker 1: What is humorless? Yeah? So um yeah, it's I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's I mean, I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: like really is or just like a threat level restraining order. Um,
Speaker 1: but I mean I I loved it. I mean I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I got to interact with one of
Speaker 1: my heroes, you know what I mean to like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought that you walked away from that experience, that
Speaker 1: like kind of horrific legal experience, being like, at least
Speaker 1: I got to meet it for sure. Frank is like
Speaker 1: it says everything about you, and I love it. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, what's anyway? Okay, So the movie is about
Speaker 1: this guy. It takes place in like the late seventies
Speaker 1: early eighties, and he um uh, he like goes to
Speaker 1: the seedy sort of hotel in like pre Giuliani Times Square,
Speaker 1: so it's like very shady, you know. And he's carrying
Speaker 1: a basket with him, like a giant sort of like
Speaker 1: um uh yeah basket, and like the tag is like
Speaker 1: what's in the basket because that's what everyone asks him
Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to say. And he's kind of
Speaker 1: like this weird sort of like mousie, like very just
Speaker 1: like easily excitable man. And what's in this bag. In
Speaker 1: this basket is his twin brother, Belial, who was a
Speaker 1: Siamese twin that when he was and he was just
Speaker 1: it's literally a lump of flesh. Yeah, it's like a
Speaker 1: weird tumor monster that got Yeah, that is alive. So
Speaker 1: when they were young, when they were younger, they like
Speaker 1: separated these all these doctors like kidnapped him and his
Speaker 1: twin brother and separated them because he's like, I don't
Speaker 1: want my son being a freak to let's kill Belisle.
Speaker 1: But they didn't kill Belisle, and Belial and this guy
Speaker 1: have this sort of psychic connections like twins do, and
Speaker 1: so they moved. They moved back to kind of kill
Speaker 1: all of the doctors that operated on them. Uh, and
Speaker 1: then you know, hilarity goes down. But it's like one
Speaker 1: of those like movies that were made by made by
Speaker 1: Like I mean, like the budget was maybe like maybe
Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars, do you know what I mean? Just
Speaker 1: like really just terribly done. Like I love that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, you know what I mean. My whole aesthetic
Speaker 1: is just cheap, ugly stuff Like John like Tacky Waters
Speaker 1: is like my hero of all time, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Divine either Massy like those are my icons,
Speaker 1: those are my true icons, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Real quick, before we do I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: RuPaul's Dragra Season nine thoughts, well, go, this is gonna
Speaker 1: come out a couple of weeks, so we're gonna be
Speaker 1: a little outdated. But I just think I can't tell
Speaker 1: if it's either I would say across. I would say, uh,
Speaker 1: in general, it's like an even season, like a lot
Speaker 1: of even playing field. But I can't tell if the
Speaker 1: bar is low or if the bar is high. I
Speaker 1: truly can't. If it's like these really polished queens all
Speaker 1: competing on the same level, uh, and there's no like
Speaker 1: a huge outliar, or if it's a low bar and
Speaker 1: everyone's just bad. Right, I don't think everyone is bad.
Speaker 1: I think it's also like kind of too early to
Speaker 1: call it snatch game. By the way, exactly this pre
Speaker 1: snatch game, right. I think snatch game is a huge
Speaker 1: turning point when you're like, Okay, now, let's now, let's
Speaker 1: really compare seasons, because I think we're too I think
Speaker 1: we're not giving it. I know a lot of people
Speaker 1: are like, these queens are like you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: just like kind of like resting right now. But I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but like what other season. Besides, I would say like
Speaker 1: eight and six were the queens like bringing it right
Speaker 1: from the game, you know what I mean? Like five
Speaker 1: Ship Sharon, is that the season? Okay, okay even but
Speaker 1: even like even that season, I think until Alaska was
Speaker 1: rough the first episode, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: Alaska Alaska didn't activate for me until like way later
Speaker 1: in the seasure. I think that we're being a little
Speaker 1: hard on it. However, I will say this, the front
Speaker 1: runner right now from where we sit is we're gonna
Speaker 1: agree Valentina Valentiner is the front runner. I think she
Speaker 1: will not be looked back on well as as I
Speaker 1: stand out winner unless she really think she's gonna win.
Speaker 1: I think I think I think right now she's gonna well.
Speaker 1: I think I also think it's too early to call it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I feel like, based on storylines,
Speaker 1: I feel like we have not really dug all that
Speaker 1: that that there is to Valentina. We haven't dug all
Speaker 1: there is to Peppermint. I think Peppermint still has to blossom.
Speaker 1: I feel like Peppermint is a contender, but like we
Speaker 1: don't know that. No one knows that there's we know
Speaker 1: that because we've seen Peppermint live and she is. She's amazing,
Speaker 1: She's amazing. When that doesn't come through, that's like a
Speaker 1: huge red flight. Also Amazing Life of Sasha Vlore and
Speaker 1: that is not coming through our Yeah, but the thing is, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's different to win that show. Yeah, it's different. It's
Speaker 1: like you have to have a specific set of skills
Speaker 1: for a TV which is which is which makes it
Speaker 1: all the more impressive that Bob is both amazing life
Speaker 1: and I know crazy, No, he was deserving winner. I
Speaker 1: think right now, what is there eleven queens left? I
Speaker 1: think the only for sure thing you can say in
Speaker 1: terms of what's going to be the result is that
Speaker 1: Valentina will be on the top three. I think there's
Speaker 1: no way. And then I think the rest of the
Speaker 1: top three is going to be filled out by some
Speaker 1: combination of Kul Trinity Tailor Eureka O'Hara, and maybe there
Speaker 1: you have your Sasha Vlore maybe wow, no mention of
Speaker 1: Neo Bonina and Nina Bonina Brown, I was just gonna say,
Speaker 1: is the last one that I think could definitely be there. However,
Speaker 1: there's like there's something, Yeah, I'm worried for her, but
Speaker 1: I also relate to her, so much wild Card, so
Speaker 1: so so much wild Card alexis Michelle wild Um no, honey, no,
Speaker 1: I mean like I love her. But also it's all
Speaker 1: about the editing too. It's like, who are the characters
Speaker 1: that we respond It's like, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: it's already being forecasted and for sure as getting a
Speaker 1: really featured edit. I think is an a Dore thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: And Henry, my boyfriend, is really pulling Fraja. He's like
Speaker 1: in the Aja camp. I love a because she's just
Speaker 1: a scrappy queen and I love girls that just like
Speaker 1: fight hard. Do you know what I mean? Who? And
Speaker 1: and are? I mean like I just got that like
Speaker 1: sort of magic where she's a little bit delusional, which
Speaker 1: I like in my drag queens. I love that sort
Speaker 1: of like not fully self Oh yeah, like not like
Speaker 1: not even on this planet like reality wise, like is
Speaker 1: not aware of how the world works. Like that's how
Speaker 1: I want my drag queens to be, like completely oblivious
