Speaker 1: Look may oh, I see you, and look over there
Speaker 1: is that culture.
Speaker 2: Yes, lost culture ding, Lost Culture.
Speaker 3: This coming, I mean, this is I guess gonna be
Speaker 3: the final of the year, our top ten series. And
Speaker 3: this has been I think the best thing we've ever done.
Speaker 2: If I was to rank our top ten things we've
Speaker 2: ever done, this would be whoa number one. We're not.
Speaker 2: We're nowhere near doing that. We are not about to
Speaker 2: you know, self, self aggrandize anytime soon. Maybe you know,
Speaker 2: at the ten year anniversary, we might, but we'll see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Honestly, like at the ten year anniversary, take a
Speaker 3: look for one thousand best moments of Lost Coach. It
Speaker 3: will be a ten episode series, one thousand moments of
Speaker 3: Lost Coach.
Speaker 2: That you heard it here first, terrifying, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants the most.
Speaker 3: The most snake eating its own tailed bullshit ever in
Speaker 3: podcasting history.
Speaker 2: And now we have to do it, and I think
Speaker 2: we will.
Speaker 3: We'll call it a thousand, one thousand moments of Lost Coach,
Speaker 3: and we rank the top thousand moments of the podcast.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, could be legendary, could be legendary. That not
Speaker 2: as legendary as any of these moments on this list.
Speaker 2: Of top tens. And what is this list of top tens? Man, Well,
Speaker 2: this is the top ten diva moments. Now you'll notice
Speaker 2: that diva moments is different than divas because we feel
Speaker 2: that that will be too easy.
Speaker 3: No, we as witnesses. Thank you Seth Myers for really
Speaker 3: aptly labeling us.
Speaker 2: We as witnesses. We are witnesses to the culture.
Speaker 3: We look at the minutial, we look at the moments
Speaker 3: and the elements that make up an icon, a diva,
Speaker 3: a legend. And these are top ten moments.
Speaker 2: Of just that. Now let's get started, shall we. Unless
Speaker 2: you have anything to say to preface with what makes
Speaker 2: a diva? What makes a moment? Not that our listeners
Speaker 2: need any definition, but go. What makes a diva, I believe.
Speaker 3: Is someone who bravely and boldly veers off the path,
Speaker 3: and yet we didn't know that actually was the correct
Speaker 3: way the path. For example, unlike on a highway, right,
Speaker 3: you certainly have one way of driving down on the
Speaker 3: highway like we are going.
Speaker 2: We are headed one way like right.
Speaker 3: If Christina Aguilera were to say, hold on, I'm going
Speaker 3: to start to drive the other direction on the highway,
Speaker 3: she would be number one on this list. She hasn't
Speaker 3: done that yet. I'm not necessarily saying she should. But
Speaker 3: if Christina Aguilera were to drive the reverse direction on
Speaker 3: a highway, that would be a diva moment.
Speaker 2: The diva moment, You're so right, that would shoot straight
Speaker 2: to the top. We would go. I mean that is
Speaker 2: that is an essence what all of these moments we're
Speaker 2: about to unfurl are doing. It's these it's people who
Speaker 2: decided I'm gonna drive and reverse on the fucking freeway
Speaker 2: of life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the cultural freeway. These divas drove in the wrong
Speaker 3: direction on the cultural freeway. And thank fucking god, because
Speaker 3: now we have an episode.
Speaker 2: Thank fucking God.
Speaker 3: So bo, should we start at number ten and sort
Speaker 3: of go all the way down to one, because that's
Speaker 3: the most exciting way to do it.
Speaker 2: I think, So let's start number ten of the top
Speaker 2: ten deven moments last cult number ten down actually, since
Speaker 2: this is a moment of shame for this person. But
Speaker 2: I put this here because I think it's an important
Speaker 2: framework for what we expect of our divas going forward,
Speaker 2: because she is really the sacrificial lamb in a lot
Speaker 2: of ways. Because now it's like, well, everyone's lips, thinking,
Speaker 2: I mean, we're recording this around Thanksgiving. Everyone at the
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Day Parade since time immemorial for decades. I was
Speaker 2: watching Vanessa Williams singing you know some something in the
Speaker 2: eighties or nineties, and I was like, she's lip sync gay,
Speaker 2: Like everyone has done it, and it took Ashley Simpson
Speaker 2: to do it on SNL for us to like hillary
Speaker 2: her if you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Flop flop spectacular, Yes, And that's what I would say,
Speaker 3: is that I was actually watching live was watching me too.
Speaker 3: Almost every gay person was watching live this moment on television,
Speaker 3: I think, because it just how much we were rooting
Speaker 3: for Ashley Simpson and how horny we were for Juwela,
Speaker 3: who was probably at the peak of his hotness. And
Speaker 3: I'll never forget the end when he said live TV
Speaker 3: and then she goes.
Speaker 1: Well, my band started playing the wrong song, and so
Speaker 1: I thought I'd do a hodown And I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: she's not only digging in right now, but she's throwing
Speaker 1: other people under the bus.
Speaker 3: Diva behavior diva. She said, my band started playing the song.
Speaker 3: Individuals she has to see nearly every day, and she said,
Speaker 3: this is gonna be the way forward. She threw them
Speaker 3: under the bus, spectacularly, flopped so hard, was never the same.
Speaker 3: But what did she do?
Speaker 2: She picked up the pieces.
Speaker 3: She married Diana Ross's son, because guess what game recognizes game.
Speaker 2: Diva diva diva gets into the other diva's orbit and
Speaker 2: everything happens for a reason.
Speaker 3: Bowen and I think that had she not done the
Speaker 3: hoedown and flopped so spectacularly, she wouldn't be part of
Speaker 3: the dynasty that is Diana Ross. She wouldn't be Ashley
Speaker 3: Simpson Ross. Everything happens for a reason. Ashley's path led
Speaker 3: her through the hallowed halls of SNL onto that iconic
Speaker 3: stage so that she could not sing, blame on other people,
Speaker 3: then blame it on acid reflex iconic, and then be
Speaker 3: a Simpson Ross.
Speaker 2: And then end up on this list.
Speaker 3: That is why she ranks at number ten Top ten
Speaker 3: Diva Moments Lost Coach number nine.
Speaker 2: I know, I know what I'd be a while I
Speaker 2: love whales Beyonce, this was Beyonce at her most vulnerable
Speaker 2: and I would say potentially most relatable, which is not
Speaker 2: why we love Beyonce, right, we love her because she's
Speaker 2: not relatable. But this moment where she and Kelly and
Speaker 2: Michelle are stone out of their minds talking to an
Speaker 2: interviewer on camera. Beautiful vulnerability.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that all three of them did amazing
Speaker 3: work in this interview. But I think that really what
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to remember is that Beyonce not only
Speaker 3: does she reveal what animals she would be, which I
Speaker 3: think would literally never happen. Now, I think she's really
Speaker 3: barely even acknowledging her own humanity, like she she is
Speaker 3: a goddess, a deity, whatever. She certainly would ever be
Speaker 3: caught dead doing an interview on camera, let alone in
Speaker 3: a vulnerable high state. But she actually she nodded to
Speaker 3: the future at this moment because she said I would
Speaker 3: be a while I would be the biggest thing you
Speaker 3: could be in the most vast space. Beyonce was telling
Speaker 3: us at this moment, I plan to take up a
Speaker 3: lot of space space, and I feel away and let's
Speaker 3: give it up. Let's give some props to Michelle Williams,
Speaker 3: because you know what she says that right right at
Speaker 3: this moment, Beyonce says, I love Wales. Michelle Williams cuts
Speaker 3: in and goes she wants to touch one one day.
Speaker 2: She wants to touch to one one day, Like so beautiful, Michelle,
Speaker 2: thank you. She wants to touch she's sexy. She would
Speaker 2: be what panther?
Speaker 4: That would be a panther because she's sexy. They were,
Speaker 4: they were having so much fun. I oh god, that
Speaker 4: was a nice time in pop culture.
Speaker 3: I just wish that because you know they're asked now
Speaker 3: about that interview and they're like, we were not high.
Speaker 2: We were not high.
Speaker 3: It's like girls just youd rather be high than just
Speaker 3: weird completely, but you know they can't compromise their Christianity.
Speaker 2: I would be a panther because she is sexy. She
Speaker 2: wants to touch on one day. She wants to do
Speaker 2: That's my that My favorite part of the whole interview
Speaker 2: is Michelle going she wants to touch on one day.
Speaker 3: I know, what.
Speaker 2: Can I say?
Speaker 3: If culture is the ocean, Beyonce is a whale, and
Speaker 3: that is why Beyonce saying she wants to be a whale,
Speaker 3: if she could be an animal is number nine on
Speaker 3: top ten last Lost Culture number three. You can't get
Speaker 3: better than all the divas getting together. Of course it's
Speaker 3: gonna be on the list at number eight at least.
Speaker 2: At least I mean this was pre Avengers crossover moments,
Speaker 2: you know, like very much. So it blew your mind
Speaker 2: to see these people share the stage together. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Not. I don't think we'd ever seen anything like the
Speaker 3: performance at the end of the show when Celine Dion
Speaker 3: was bravely and boldly going up to Aretha Franklin and
Speaker 3: trying to outsing her, which, by the way, Mariah has
Speaker 3: commented on many times since then and said she thought
Speaker 3: it was extremely disrespectful, and apparently Patti Labell reached out
Speaker 3: to Mariah afterwards. I guess Patti LeBell had been watching
Speaker 3: at home. Why she wasn't involved, We'll never know, but
Speaker 3: she reached out to Mariah and she said, you did
Speaker 3: the right thing. You don't go up and try to
Speaker 3: out sing Aretha. That was crazy.
Speaker 2: Well, I think Patty wasn't there because there was the
Speaker 2: perceived rumored feud between Patty and Aretha, which once Aretha
Speaker 2: past was quickly debunked. Patty put out a statement saying
Speaker 2: Aretha and I were always friendly.
Speaker 3: Oh she put out a one more statement debunked, debunked.
Speaker 3: Oh to hear Patty say, debunked. And by the way,
Speaker 3: if you're a Patty fan, state state on this list.
Speaker 3: Here's what I'll say about sort of challenging Aretha on stage.
Speaker 3: That is a Christina aguilar Are driving the wrong way
Speaker 3: on the freeway.
Speaker 2: Moment and you need it. We wouldn't be talking about
Speaker 2: it if there wasn't a Christina Aguilier driving the wrong
Speaker 2: way on the freeway moment like that.
Speaker 3: Never forget that People magazine did a cover story about
Speaker 3: Diva's Live and they left Gloria A Stephan out of it.
Speaker 3: Gloria A Stephan was guest hosting the Rosie o'donald Show
Speaker 3: and she pulled out that People magazine and she said,
Speaker 3: they cut me out, and it's true. They acted like
Speaker 3: it was only four women and Gloria was not in it.
Speaker 3: And Gloria very classily made a joke and she said,
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe I was blocked by Mariah's hair.
Speaker 2: And I said, that's the class act. So classy. God,
Speaker 2: what a gorgeous soul.
Speaker 3: And can I say one of my favorite parts of
Speaker 3: that whole concert, which I watched again and again, is
Speaker 3: when Gloria A Stephan sings her numbers because she had
Speaker 3: she had one single.
Speaker 2: It's called Heaven's what I feel, and it goes like this.
Speaker 2: Love sometimes can be like dety.
Speaker 3: It can take you to wherever and I don't know
Speaker 3: how the rest goes, and then she goes.
Speaker 2: But I have broken all the rules of You have
Speaker 2: to listen to this song. Heaven's what I feels. What
Speaker 2: I feel, Heavens what I feel when them with you.
Speaker 2: You have to look at you singing the notes. I
Speaker 2: love glory, I love divas. I love singing Yes. And
Speaker 2: that is why Diva's Live is number eight on our
Speaker 2: list of top ten Diva moments. Last culture.
Speaker 3: Now is this next one is really major? Number seven? Lady,
Speaker 3: I think there's no one better to.
Speaker 2: Speak to this than you. Thank you as one of
Speaker 2: the two. I want to say that I was with
Speaker 2: you the week this came out, the day this came out,
Speaker 2: when Born this Way the song came out, you and
Speaker 2: I were going up to Skidmore, to Skidmore College to Saratogas. Wow,
Speaker 2: you have a good recall. I had forgotten this was
Speaker 2: the circumstance. This was February twenty eleven and we were
Speaker 2: going up to Skidmore College, and I mean I remember
Speaker 2: the way that the words your orient struck me. I said,
Speaker 2: that's not quite right. But I know what she's going for.
Speaker 2: I know what she's going for, and to this day
Speaker 2: I stand by that because guess what, she was writing
Speaker 2: an inclusive song, and I know that word that I
Speaker 2: word is, you know, a little bit of an eye roll,
Speaker 2: maybe to some people, not at the time, not at
Speaker 2: the time, and still to this day, I think it's
Speaker 2: an important virtue. But Gaga was at the ripe age
Speaker 2: of what like twenty four years old writing a song
Speaker 2: being like everything you, anything you are, that makes you
Speaker 2: feel different, that is beautiful. You were born this way,
Speaker 2: and that set off this whole culture of writing self empowerment,
Speaker 2: self love songs. I say, I applaud Gaga. Your Lebanese,
Speaker 2: your orient. She kept that in the Super Bowl performance.
Speaker 2: Yeah she did.
Speaker 3: She did not change or she bravely went out onto
Speaker 3: the stage over a decade later with the knowledge that
Speaker 3: this was not right, and she said.
Speaker 2: Your Lebanese, you're orient.
Speaker 3: Whether life's disabilities make you feel outcast or tease, make
Speaker 3: you outcast, bleed or tees bullied to go to go
Speaker 3: believe ocast, bleed or teas, it's iconic. We need to
Speaker 3: do we need to do an episode so which is
Speaker 3: a close read of the born of this why lyrics?
Speaker 2: Oh, every line in the glass of herbo in the
Speaker 2: glass of her boodoir. I mean, wait, we actually need
Speaker 2: we need to do this. We need to do before
Speaker 2: that year is over.
Speaker 3: We need to do we need to start a new
Speaker 3: seria called called Lost Coach close read, which is we
Speaker 3: just take a brilliant pop song and we just literally
Speaker 3: word by word, go through exactly what it is and
Speaker 3: and break it down.
Speaker 2: You know what is the model for that episode. But
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to be self referential. Our Gilaine Maxwell episode.
Speaker 2: We did a close read on her name and it
Speaker 2: was poetry.
Speaker 3: I have to say, it's a very much a front
Speaker 3: runner for the top one thousand moments of Lost Coach
Speaker 3: just to be a number one that episode.
Speaker 2: It's a serious runner. Absolutely. Now, I just want to
Speaker 2: say before we move on that I had to wear
Speaker 2: a man Need Gaga moments to choose from. This was
Speaker 2: the clear winner to me for for this list.
Speaker 3: And I have to say, like, I think that you,
Speaker 3: as a Lady Gaga scholar and influency, I think that
Speaker 3: it is really up to you to say this, and
Speaker 3: you know, we've had so much. We've had, of course,
Speaker 3: the Oscars performance of Shallow. We've had, of course the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl performance where she said where she caught the
Speaker 3: football at the end. We of course have her performance
Speaker 3: an American horror story. Yeah, we have when someone threw
Speaker 3: up on her, when she we have when she became
Speaker 3: a plane. We have so many moments and you've said, no.
Speaker 2: No, it's this. You know was closely going to beat
Speaker 2: this out, but her getting fucked on a desk in
Speaker 2: house of Gucci. But no, that's not the one. That
Speaker 2: could never be. This is your Lebanese or orient is
Speaker 2: the one? Can I say?
Speaker 3: We need the Lady Gaga erastour And it has to
Speaker 3: include film. It has to include film. She has to
Speaker 3: figure that out.
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen, for sure.
Speaker 3: I wonder if when Joker folio comes out, that it's
Speaker 3: just gonna blow this whole list away.
Speaker 2: I mean that ever, all top ten entries will be
Speaker 2: from Joker. I can't believe. I cannot believe. I have
Speaker 2: to see that. We're gonna love it? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I guess it's the most violent film of all time.
Speaker 2: That's what they were saying.
Speaker 3: They were like someone saw the script and was like,
Speaker 3: I don't know how they're gonna make this on paper
Speaker 3: is the most violent film of all time.
Speaker 2: I can't wait. It's so Gaga. I love it, love it. Okay,
Speaker 2: this is why numbers Lemnies.
Speaker 3: Your orient My Lady Gaga is number seven on Top
Speaker 3: ten Demon Moments Lost.
Speaker 2: Culture, number one hand.
Speaker 3: Show Fergie wha, Why was she singing Barrakuda? Why was
Speaker 3: she singing that song she wanted to? It doesn't matter,
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter why we are. That moment was post reason,
Speaker 3: post thought, like there was there. You don't you can't
Speaker 3: think about it too long because it will not make sense.
Speaker 3: You're right, I flopped even suggesting we shouldn't think about it.
Speaker 3: I feel like the one handed courtwheel during the song
Speaker 3: Oh Barracuda on The Today Show, which famously takes place
Speaker 3: so early in the morning to think about, to think
Speaker 3: about how early the rehearsals had to be. I wonder
Speaker 3: if this was a spontaneous one handed courtwheel or if
Speaker 3: it was planned.
Speaker 2: I think it could go either way. It could go
Speaker 2: either It's Fergie and Fergy acts on instinct and that's
Speaker 2: why we love her. This woman released the single London Bridge,
Speaker 2: where the cover was her standing in front of Tower Bridge,
Speaker 2: not London Bridge. This woman doesn't care. This woman does
Speaker 2: what she wants, and that's why we love her. She said,
Speaker 2: you know what I have to say. I survived a
Speaker 2: meth addiction. Okay, I have been to hell and back.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stand in front of Tower Bridge and say, lundy, lundy, lundy,
Speaker 3: shut up, shut up. And if anyone says anything to her,
Speaker 3: it's kind of like shut up because let me. Let
Speaker 3: me also point you in another direction, which didn't make
Speaker 3: the list because this is on the list, but her
Speaker 3: performance of the Italian and the film nine was deserving
Speaker 3: of the Oscar Win period.
Speaker 2: Period period, point blank. Now this one handed cartwheel, we
Speaker 2: still talk about it today, and what else is there
Speaker 2: to say? I mean, this is this was before Pink
Speaker 2: was on her silks. This was oh yeah, a pop
Speaker 2: star doing full gymnastics while giving you a vocal. This
Speaker 2: was this opened the door? It did?
Speaker 3: It open the door so wide because the door needed
Speaker 3: to be wide for a cannon to fit through it,
Speaker 3: so that Pink could be shot out of it. And
Speaker 3: let me tell you something. There's no Pink without Fergie.
Speaker 3: And I say this knowing full well that Pink started
Speaker 3: before her.
Speaker 2: I think I think Fergie altered Pink's trajectory. You know
Speaker 2: who's not on the list, Pink, and that's and that
Speaker 2: might be something that I reconsider because we love Pink.
Speaker 3: Here Pink is on roll mention for getting shot into
Speaker 3: the sky during the song so what during her recent
Speaker 3: arena tour. But when there's moments like this on the list,
Speaker 3: it's going to be very hard to break through.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is a very competitive list.
Speaker 3: This was morning culture, Like mornings weren't the same after this, Like,
Speaker 3: forget about morning show culture, forget about performance culture. This
Speaker 3: changed the way people wake up because Fergie was saying,
Speaker 3: I woke up and got together a performance where I
Speaker 3: did a one hindred cardwell to a song not even
Speaker 3: on my album.
Speaker 2: She was able to take the spotlight away from people
Speaker 2: like Matt Lower, Katie Kuric made near to Fierra. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure what, I'm not sure when this happened. I
Speaker 2: have no idea. It had nothing to do with the
Speaker 2: people on the show. This is what every artist who
Speaker 2: does the Today Show dreams of, which is to create
Speaker 2: a moment that is actually like impressive. It's not like
Speaker 2: Hillary Duff like doing little dance moves with her arms
Speaker 2: on the Today Show. It's pure talent. I'm sorry, this
Speaker 2: is pure talent. No one else could do that but Fergie.
Speaker 3: But Stacy, by the time this episode comes out, will
Speaker 3: have performed on the Today Show.
Speaker 2: And I can guarantee you neither of us didn't one
Speaker 2: hand in a card. We are not do you enough? No?
Speaker 2: That no, that we did not. All right, that is
Speaker 2: all why one head of cartwhel on Today's Show by
Speaker 2: Fergie is number six on the top ten demon moments
Speaker 2: last Cult. Here's a call back, number five. Where are
Speaker 2: my background singers? Pat I'm mean I was cackling just
Speaker 2: thinking about this the other day. A moment of pure joy.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know the song.
Speaker 2: I don't know the song?
Speaker 1: Where are the cards? Can't you gotta fe go with
Speaker 1: the cards?
Speaker 2: This cord I mean, Pierre, she did not know the
Speaker 2: song this Christmas. This is a moment of pure panic
Speaker 2: that is immediately landing as pure joy to the audience.
Speaker 2: I feel sorry for whatever Patty, miss LaBelle was feeling
Speaker 2: in that moment. She must have felt very disoriented and embarrassed.
Speaker 2: But wow, all these years later, she is bringing joy
Speaker 2: to the hearts of the world with that. I hope she's.
Speaker 3: Proud now and thinks of it as a funny thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I really hope that she can
Speaker 3: see humor and where's my background singer? Because unfortunately, it
Speaker 3: is the moment in her illustrious career that has landed
Speaker 3: her on this list and.
Speaker 2: Probably others probably listen, she has had an amazing career,
Speaker 2: but the diva moment is this is yelling on the
Speaker 2: mic in in our nation's capital for a Christmas celebration,
Speaker 2: screaming where the background singers are? Where are they? The behavior?
Speaker 3: And also, you know what's crazy is like they didn't
Speaker 3: even come on right away. No, she was right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it took what we're gonna say, it took them a
Speaker 3: while to get out there.
Speaker 2: Where were the background singers? Do we ever get the
Speaker 2: answer to that question? Where were they? And I gotta
Speaker 2: say the way, and I love background singers, love so
Speaker 2: gifted and so gifted. They showed up and they were
Speaker 2: trying to play it off as if nothing happened. But
Speaker 2: at that point you gotta be a little you gotta
Speaker 2: look a little guilty for coming on so egregiously late
Speaker 2: for Patty LaBelle. Honestly, I hope they heard an earfall. Yes,
Speaker 2: what do you think they were doing? I bet they
Speaker 2: were smoking hookah? You think that was on Christmas? On
Speaker 2: Christmas at the Abouka backstage, they were gathered around the hookah.
Speaker 2: Why else would they be late? Oh, they were smoking
Speaker 2: shareing something, you know what, that's the only excuse.
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe if they were smoking some hookah at the Capitol,
Speaker 3: then I could respect it because that would be the
Speaker 3: equivalent of them driving the wrong way on the freeway
Speaker 3: for Glas style. Okay, hookah at the Capitol on Christmas,
Speaker 3: And that's why you're late for Patty LaBelle.
Speaker 2: The one song you have to do.
Speaker 3: Forget about the fact that hang all the missile, I'm
Speaker 3: Gonna get to know your bed. What I loved was
Speaker 3: just when she started like belting and like guessing riffing
Speaker 3: at the song, honestly clocking in an iconic rendition.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, I will always remember the melody of
Speaker 2: I'm Gonna add them all I can.
Speaker 1: Because I know the words and I don't have that downsingers.
Speaker 2: Mean that is iconic Patty, Thank.
Speaker 3: You, oh man, and this is why, thank you for
Speaker 3: making it seasonal. This is why that where our background
Speaker 3: singers is number five. That's Patti LaBelle on the list
Speaker 3: of top ten Diva moments Lost Culture, number.
Speaker 2: Four, singing, singing, Whitneys the gift, the gift. And you know,
Speaker 2: obviously there are a lot of spoken moments from Whitney
Speaker 2: that are iconic, but none of them are why we
Speaker 2: love her. None of them are why she is a diva.
Speaker 2: She's a diva because she is one of the best
Speaker 2: recording artists of all time.
Speaker 3: We could have said when she sang, and we could
Speaker 3: have said when she said, I listened to singers very rare,
Speaker 3: listen to people who cannot sing. We could have you
Speaker 3: know what I was thinking about putting on here?
Speaker 1: Why are you down there?
Speaker 2: To Brandy? But none of these really get it across.
Speaker 3: Which is the reason why she's able to say all
Speaker 3: these things and do all these things is connected to
Speaker 3: her own singing, So it would be actually disrespectful. And
Speaker 3: this has been so far a list of great respect,
Speaker 3: a great respect to say that the number one thing
Speaker 3: we love about her is anything other than singing.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, she is purely evocative. If you say
Speaker 2: the words singing, you think Whitney. You think Whitney. If
Speaker 2: you hear the if you say the words and I,
Speaker 2: you think about Whitney. If you say the words, I
Speaker 2: believe the children you're going to finish that thought are
Speaker 2: our future. Teach them well the way of speaking of
Speaker 2: the greatest love of all That music video of her,
Speaker 2: of her just walking, just coming down the fire escape.
Speaker 2: I said, that is beauty. That is art. She is
Speaker 2: brimming with the spirit of a star quality, the spirit
Speaker 2: of creativity, of just expression. I just that is perfect.
Speaker 2: Whitney Houston. We love you, We love you, Whitney. We
Speaker 2: will always remember you, and we will always have the music.
Speaker 2: I was with you the night that she died. Oh god,
Speaker 2: where were we? It was at Skidmore again. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: you're right. Was it that year? February twenty twelve was
Speaker 2: when she passed away.
Speaker 3: Oh you know what, I didn't go to Skidmore that year.
Speaker 3: And you know what that actually really makes me remember something,
Speaker 3: which is I was doing Marazzad. We had performances. I
Speaker 3: was in the musical at NYU called marat Sad. It
Speaker 3: was a punk rock musical interpretation of the play The
Speaker 3: Assassination of marat By. Yeah, the marquis and the assistant
Speaker 3: director looked at all us before and said.
Speaker 2: Do this one for Whitney, and we all understood like
Speaker 2: that we would do it for Whitney, but we also laughed.
Speaker 2: That reminds me of not to bring up another death
Speaker 2: and not to I just not to relate this, but
Speaker 2: I had a story pirate show the day that Robin
Speaker 2: Williams passed away, and I think someone said, let's do
Speaker 2: this for Robin. You know that we say such sentimental
Speaker 2: silly things upon a upon an icon's passing.
Speaker 3: But that's okay, Yeah, that is okay because guess what.
Speaker 3: I bet a little part of you did do it
Speaker 3: for Robin, and I know a little part of you
Speaker 3: did it for Whitney, just like we're just like the
Speaker 3: little parts of us are doing this for Whitney right now.
Speaker 3: And all this is why Whitney Houston is number four
Speaker 3: the top ten demer moments Lost coach.
Speaker 2: For her singing for her singing number three, I don't
Speaker 2: know her, Mariah Carey.
Speaker 3: So whereas Whitney, of course we have to because it
Speaker 3: would be disrespectful to not first and foremost say you're singing,
Speaker 3: we've boiled Mariah down to I don't know her for.
Speaker 2: Good reason, because, especially upon reading the meaning of Mariah Carey,
Speaker 2: this moment makes total sense now and it actually speaks
Speaker 2: to It speaks to Mariah's relationship to her work. She
Speaker 2: cares about the way the work comes together and when
Speaker 2: it gets taken and when the work gets taken away
Speaker 2: from her and given to someone else, maybe Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 2: Then she acts out in her dieva way that we
Speaker 2: all know and love her. For first of all, you
Speaker 2: don't get to be a bigger Lamb than me. I'm
Speaker 2: in the labilly, firmly and forever. And I have a
Speaker 2: poster in my apartment that says I don't know her.
Speaker 2: In Mariah carry an iconic butterfly font.
Speaker 3: And I would say that like it does give me
Speaker 3: the essence of Mariah, and that it is superior because
Speaker 3: she is. And it also does something for me every
Speaker 3: day where I say I don't know her, like anyone
Speaker 3: who is in my ship, anyone who's trying to be
Speaker 3: in my image, anyone who's trying to suck with me,
Speaker 3: anyone who's anyone who's who's managed by my ex husband.
Speaker 2: I don't know her. I don't know her. Tommy Matola
Speaker 2: found dad.
Speaker 3: I mean, so, did you ever see the Watch It
Speaker 3: Happens Live where they played a game with Mariah called
Speaker 3: does she know her?
Speaker 2: Yes? And then Mariah had the funniest little quip. She said, well,
Speaker 2: apparently I'm very forgetful. Well, apparently I'm very forgetful. So funny,
Speaker 2: And they said.
Speaker 3: Demi Lovado had something to say about how nasty Mariah
Speaker 3: is to Jennifer Lopez, and Mariah said, I don't know
Speaker 3: her either, she said, and then she said, she.
Speaker 2: Has a problem. She can come to me like a woman,
Speaker 2: and she could say, I have a problem. Here's what
Speaker 2: I think. That's how you handleshit. And you know that
Speaker 2: Demi Lovado was found dead when she heard that. I mean,
Speaker 2: Demi can punch her way out of that one. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry to say, I'm gonna beat this bitch up. And
Speaker 2: I don't know her. I mean, it is it is
Speaker 2: the perfect way to like let something slide off, just
Speaker 2: to be like this doesn't belong to me, this person,
Speaker 2: this person I'm not responsible to. I'm not responsible for
Speaker 2: commenting on her. I don't know her.
Speaker 3: I literally don't know her. It's so powerful any of
Speaker 3: the mess you're talking about with like what they might
Speaker 3: have said about me. I don't know her period. I
Speaker 3: don't have knowledge of the personhood. I don't have knowledge
Speaker 3: of the personhood of this individual. I don't know her.
Speaker 2: Cut cut cut. Thank you Mariah for giving us that.
Speaker 3: And of course, your incredible singing and songwriting prowess is legendary,
Speaker 3: but you are mostly for words. I don't know her,
Speaker 3: and that is why you rank at number three. I
Speaker 3: don't know her. Mariah on Top ten Diva Moments Lost,
Speaker 3: speaking of things people said out serving their singing talent.
Speaker 2: Number two. Okay, beautiful gowns are I mean, this is
Speaker 2: a hilarious thing to say about our current braining pop icon,
Speaker 2: the Beatles of our generation. Taylor Taylor, and.
Speaker 3: She said after probably the fourth person that she had
Speaker 3: been asked about, and even Alicia Key's got good writer,
Speaker 3: young producer, Taylor got.
Speaker 2: Okay, great gown down, beautiful gowautiful gowns. I think maybe
Speaker 2: I think Taylor keeps your ear to the ground, and
Speaker 2: I think maybe this was something that sprung her into
Speaker 2: You always need an I'll show them attitude. Didn't show biz,
Speaker 2: don't you? And that was Taylor Swifts.
Speaker 3: Don't blame me, yes, she said, she said, oh she
Speaker 3: has something to say about my singing.
Speaker 2: Get in the studio. We're recording. Don't blame me. Don't
Speaker 2: blame me. Love made me crazy, doesn't you?
Speaker 3: Jo in it ry and I will say that Aretha
Speaker 3: would be so shook to hear that we're complimenting Taylor's
Speaker 3: vocals in a thing where she said, Okay, great gowns,
Speaker 3: beautiful gown So let's just go back, do we.
Speaker 2: Nevin it's a great song.
Speaker 3: Use a.
Speaker 2: I mean she goes hard reputation. I mean we're talking
Speaker 2: about reputation, narrate the Franklin entry, Okay, I mean Aretha,
Speaker 2: we obviously know the vocal prowess, but this was one
Speaker 2: of her last great contributions to the culture. Great gowns,
Speaker 2: beautiful guns.
Speaker 3: I mean, the whole thing is funny that maybe even
Speaker 3: good writer, young producer might be funnier, funnier than and
Speaker 3: then of course Nicki minaj manaj I.
Speaker 2: Not that one. Thank you Aretha for your countless contributions.
Speaker 2: And this might be some recency bias, but we are
Speaker 2: putting okay, great gowns Beautiful Gowns as number two on
Speaker 2: this list of the top ten Devon moments, Last Coach
Speaker 2: number one. Good Look of our greatest Comedian one of
Speaker 2: the funniest comics.
Speaker 3: I think that when Siara tried to come for Rihanna
Speaker 3: and said she was rooted in an event, and Rihanna
Speaker 3: responded on Twitter, my bad seeds that I forget to
Speaker 3: tip you at a restaurant, and Siara said, Honey, I
Speaker 3: have no time for this.
Speaker 2: I'm about to go on stage. And Rihanna killed, are dead?
Speaker 2: What did you do? What was it? What was it
Speaker 2: you said? I think Sierra said, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Speaker 2: to correct you, but I think Sierra said, you trust me, Rihanna,
Speaker 2: you don't want to see me on or off stage,
Speaker 2: and which then prompted Rihanna to say, good luck that.
Speaker 3: You speak of, you speak of booking, that stage you
Speaker 3: speak of, it's that you speak of.
Speaker 2: That's really the perfect little ornament, you know. I saw
Speaker 2: Rihanna at a restaurant. She was very rude.
Speaker 3: My bad scenes that I forget to tip you trust me,
Speaker 3: you don't want to see me on or off stage?
Speaker 2: Good look book in that stage you speak of. I
Speaker 2: mean you have you have a death wish if you
Speaker 2: want a step to Rihanna, if you don't want that smoke,
Speaker 2: it's a billion.
Speaker 3: Dollars, a blunt and a Twitter log in, and it's
Speaker 3: the death to all of them. In the words of
Speaker 3: Wendy okay kay oh, okay oh, it's over knockout, total
Speaker 3: total koh.
Speaker 2: I think this is a worthy spot for number one.
Speaker 2: I really do, because you and I think about this
Speaker 2: all the time. You won't see me arguing against a
Speaker 2: single choice on this list and not this. This does
Speaker 2: not end here. I would say this was the moment
Speaker 2: that to find a generation.
Speaker 3: This was This was the.
Speaker 2: Spoken equivalent of Rihanna's Loud album, Yes, her most experimental
Speaker 2: spoken word her This was this opened the door, and
Speaker 2: this opened the door to be Rihanna as a mogul,
Speaker 2: as a mogul. I think this is one of the
Speaker 2: only moments that was played out on Twitter, and that
Speaker 2: is interesting as well, like this is all this is
Speaker 2: very twenty tens coded.
Speaker 3: Yes it was, and also like we should have known
Speaker 3: we were flying too close to the sun right there,
Speaker 3: because like it was over after this, I mean, Twitter
Speaker 3: slowly started to become worse.
Speaker 2: And worse, like this was the peak of Twitter. This
Speaker 2: was this was not knowing the good times of rolling
Speaker 2: while they're rolling. I mean period. I for iconography, spos
Speaker 2: for iconography. I love everyone who follows the Last Coach
Speaker 2: Twitter and who interacts and engages with us on the
Speaker 2: Last Coach side. Overall, I would say, it is just
Speaker 2: tour chan now that site. It's It's bad.
Speaker 3: I was wondering the other day. I was sort of
Speaker 3: psychically asking you without directly asking me. I was like,
Speaker 3: I wonder how much longer we keep the Twitter because
Speaker 3: it feels.
Speaker 2: Like it's I think they're done. I think it's over.
Speaker 2: Like really mean, we we've been saying this for years,
Speaker 2: but like I think five of the last nails in
Speaker 2: the copin were slammed into it at the same time
Speaker 2: in the last month or so.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Yeah, yeah, but I mean, and here we are
Speaker 3: saying that. I mean, I think one of the most
Speaker 3: important inventions electronically and technically and socially was Twitter of
Speaker 3: the past, you know, fifty years, and the peak of
Speaker 3: it was what Rihanna said that lands on her at
Speaker 3: number one on this list of top ten. Viva moments
Speaker 3: lost culture.
Speaker 2: Well, I think this was a very comprehensive list. There
Speaker 2: were some missing entries. I think Pink, as we've said,
Speaker 2: I think we were missing at Kelly Clarkson moment. I
Speaker 2: think what would that have been. I think it would
Speaker 2: would have been her winning a moment like a winning
Speaker 2: American idol, winning a moment like this winning American Idol.
Speaker 2: I think we missed something from Hillary Duff, from Miley
Speaker 2: Cyrus Nicki Minaj.
Speaker 3: Did you see Miley Cyrus through her own birthday party?
Speaker 3: And her birthday party was she finally sang Flowers Live
Speaker 3: to her friends and family. She said, my birthday party
Speaker 3: was me singing my own songs, and I said, you
Speaker 3: better fucking go.
Speaker 2: Off, You better go off. Good for you, Miley, Yeah, legend.
Speaker 3: But she did not make the list. And that doesn't
Speaker 3: mean she can't make the list. Doesn't mean that you know,
Speaker 3: Miley hasn't you know, done many things. But this list
Speaker 3: was comprehensive and it's complete. And I give it to
Speaker 3: my sister who put this one together. I merely made
Speaker 3: one contribution, which was Divas Live and you really, you
Speaker 3: really ate this down div moment.
Speaker 2: You drove the other way on the freeway with this
Speaker 2: one bit. Thank you Diva, so did you you were
Speaker 2: at the wheel? Now, Jesus take it, Jesus take it.
Speaker 2: Carrie Underwood also missing. Now. We hope to provide you
Speaker 2: some more lists than the new Year, but for now,
Speaker 2: enjoy the ones that we've given you. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of great stuff in there, and we hope you learn.
