Speaker 1: Look man, oh I see you. Why and look over there?
Speaker 1: How is that culture? Yes? Goodness ding dast culture racist
Speaker 1: calling and just like that, just like that, big girl,
Speaker 1: I guess you have to say spoiler alert, No, there's
Speaker 1: it's no no, I refuse. I refused to hand hold
Speaker 1: at every juncture. Yeah, it's it's too much. Our listeners
Speaker 1: give us enough guff. We love the readers so much,
Speaker 1: but sometimes you guys are out of pocket. You're out
Speaker 1: of pocket sometimes when you come to me and be like,
Speaker 1: you ruin this thing for me. There's incest in Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones, or there's there's a gossip Girl and gossip Girl,
Speaker 1: it's going to that point. It's like, can I say something?
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this podcast and you haven't watched
Speaker 1: the first two episodes of then just like that. That's truly,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how to relate to
Speaker 1: you girls anymore. I really know. Hey, No, we just
Speaker 1: don't want you to feel any further kind of alien
Speaker 1: nation from what we're talking about on this silly little
Speaker 1: podcast that we have. Oh, we did have some readers
Speaker 1: ask if we're doing twelve days of culture this year,
Speaker 1: We unfortunately will not be Man is very busy touring,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm busy working. I guess, yeah, I would,
Speaker 1: I would. I would say that you are. I think
Speaker 1: we're both actually over extended, and I think that, um,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be taking it a little bit easy for
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Everyone. There's gonna be some
Speaker 1: re releases. We haven't even talked to our producers about
Speaker 1: this yet, but we actually don't have time to record
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, so we will be putting
Speaker 1: little Easter eggs out there, some familiar, old favorite episodes out.
Speaker 1: You know. It's just it just so happens that the
Speaker 1: holiday has become an extra busy time for the culture East.
Speaker 1: That's not the least of which reason being that we
Speaker 1: have to keep on top of the culture in our
Speaker 1: own lives and and just like that's going to be
Speaker 1: putting out episodes and we have to be watching them.
Speaker 1: Can I just stage the space. Yeah, I did not
Speaker 1: mean to come so hard for the readers. From the
Speaker 1: very beginning. I think that they get it. This isn't
Speaker 1: this is not no. But this isn't even specific to
Speaker 1: the readers. This is as a culture. We need to
Speaker 1: stop it. With the spoiler alert culture. Okay, because you
Speaker 1: and I both said you and I have both been
Speaker 1: on either side of this. I mean that was for
Speaker 1: those of you don't know. But we're not regating. We're
Speaker 1: not going to relitigate it, but we are going to
Speaker 1: just state the facts, which is when Katia Zamachava was
Speaker 1: eliminated on RuPaul's Drag Race, the program that RuPaul's Drag
Speaker 1: Race season seven, Bowen Yang logged onto Twitter and tweeted
Speaker 1: two words but elongated Katia. No, not on Twitter, it
Speaker 1: was Facebook. It was ace, smaller audience. And guess what
Speaker 1: drag races is queer sports. You watch them live, you know,
Speaker 1: DVR the game and watch it, you know, three days later,
Speaker 1: and think, hey, thank goodness, no one spoiled the result
Speaker 1: for me. You know I I think I agree with
Speaker 1: you now because I now that I've moved to I
Speaker 1: remember living in New York when you did that, and
Speaker 1: I felt spoiled drag Race. I was like, I rate,
Speaker 1: But now it's like, now that I live in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: it's like, no, we're three hours behind. And it truly is.
Speaker 1: You're always at risk for spoilers. Cannot go on social
Speaker 1: media if you're in la if you're in the West
Speaker 1: coast for for the three hours until. Also, if you're
Speaker 1: so panicked and worried about being spoiled on social media
Speaker 1: about your favorite shows, then examine your relationship with social media. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know that's this is all dicey. I guess
Speaker 1: some people will take issue with this, which is fine.
Speaker 1: I think I hope we offend people. I hope we
Speaker 1: really offend people. Well make headlines. Finally, for offension, I
Speaker 1: actually for offension, I actually find that I have developed
Speaker 1: better coping mechanisms around having something spoiled to me. Like
Speaker 1: I think this is actually like a beautiful learning opportunity,
Speaker 1: teachable opportunity, because like I mean, like with Sucking All
Speaker 1: Stars six, like every week I was getting it spoiled
Speaker 1: on when I would go on Twitter dot com myself,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, well now I know, like who
Speaker 1: the assassin is, who goes home? Who whatever? Just a
Speaker 1: bad way to roll out that show. But I still
Speaker 1: but then I think it's re tuned my expectations around
Speaker 1: or like my enjoyment overall is like obviously I will
Speaker 1: enjoy it less if I had known, if I hadn't known,
Speaker 1: But now I can watch something where I know what
Speaker 1: the result is and enjoy it anyway. You know, it
Speaker 1: just depends on what it is. Like. If it's something
Speaker 1: I actually like, I'm just gonna come out here and
Speaker 1: bravely say, like, I thought All Stars six was fun,
Speaker 1: but it did not bother me in the slightest that
Speaker 1: I logged on one day to Instagram, uh the app,
Speaker 1: and the first thing that popped up was Liganda Astranga
Speaker 1: turning over a lipstick that said silky. Literally, the whole
Speaker 1: episode ruined for me in a second. Who the assassin was,
Speaker 1: what the person won the lip sync, and who was eliminated.
Speaker 1: I was just like, wow, I can't even open the
Speaker 1: app without being spoiled. That's what I'm saying. So but
Speaker 1: but it depends. It depends on the content. So here's
Speaker 1: the thing. This is what I'm saying. Though. It's like,
Speaker 1: if I was little press play on this episode today
Speaker 1: of Lost Cultures this and Just like That, I was spoiled,
Speaker 1: Like and I the first words in the episode were
Speaker 1: big Died, I'd be like, you know what, though, the
Speaker 1: episodes of and Just like That have been out for
Speaker 1: days and a week that has passed, so I have
Speaker 1: no excuse I came prepared to lost cultures this. My
Speaker 1: thing is that I feel like the seal has been
Speaker 1: broken on like the conversation around Big Death, and like
Speaker 1: right oh, like people are writing about their pieces about
Speaker 1: it now, like everyone knows what's happened. So it's it's
Speaker 1: fine as fine, But we we've already wasted too much time.
Speaker 1: Can I just say, without a spoiler alert, we're bravely
Speaker 1: leaving the very first episodes Big Died, Big Big First, Sorry,
Speaker 1: we smoked. The very first words of this episode are
Speaker 1: going to be Big Died. We're leaving that, and we're
Speaker 1: good with it. You're asking if we're cutting it. No, no,
Speaker 1: we're leaving it. I love it, I love us, I
Speaker 1: love us that I love us, and then that obsessed
Speaker 1: with us. We cut that, then you're gonna cut the
Speaker 1: whole first six minutes of this podcast. No, we could
Speaker 1: do two single bleeps like like it was a damn curse.
Speaker 1: No way, can I say, Can I say an ugly
Speaker 1: word that's such pussy ship, that would be such pussy's
Speaker 1: problematic problematic huh um um, of course I say that facetiously.
Speaker 1: Everyone else, love you and kiss you all on the
Speaker 1: forehead Big actually did die and I respect it so much, Honey.
Speaker 1: I said it in my chair and I said, the
Speaker 1: show might have just actually fucked and Dennis Bushnell could
Speaker 1: never she could never. We thank Candice for creating this world.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the the this sort of canvas. It's time
Speaker 1: to color in the canvas with crayons. And the third
Speaker 1: graders have a new job. Are you here to say
Speaker 1: that the third graders have been hired? I think the
Speaker 1: third graders showed what they could do with The Morning
Speaker 1: Show season two and the producers of it just like that,
Speaker 1: we're saying, I think that we got a staff here
Speaker 1: and I've never been more happy. But where is the
Speaker 1: teacher in this what doing this time? The teacher is
Speaker 1: the teacher took a week off because this writer's This
Speaker 1: writer's room was only one week. Yeah, this writers room
Speaker 1: was one week. It was it was the next week.
Speaker 1: It was like, well, basically what happened was on Monday morning,
Speaker 1: the teacher walked in and she had seen because she
Speaker 1: had binged Morning Show season two over the weekend, and
Speaker 1: she walked in and she said, good job. Ah, but
Speaker 1: you guys really did an amazing job. Great imaginations. I
Speaker 1: loved the choices that you made so big, very good.
Speaker 1: And I love the cliffhanger ending. Wow, what's going to
Speaker 1: happen next? Oh my god, can you do can you
Speaker 1: do that? But with sex in the city And here's
Speaker 1: some parameters. No, Samantha, that would be too sexy for you. Guys.
Speaker 1: Well this is this is so interesting because I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: like the teacher was like, well, this time you have
Speaker 1: to use an existing I P and the kids went, oh,
Speaker 1: and then here we are and here we are. I
Speaker 1: mean literally, when Big died at the end, I was
Speaker 1: like the third graders, I'm so happy they found another job. Well,
Speaker 1: they're now their story editors. They did their hard year
Speaker 1: of staff writers, and now the third graders have actually
Speaker 1: been emboildened by their promotion to story that doesn't always
Speaker 1: happen that, you know, the title after one Room, very rare.
Speaker 1: Good job, third graders, very good. They're good. They're making
Speaker 1: their way in the entertainment industry. And soon they'll be
Speaker 1: show running, you know what I mean. Soon that their
Speaker 1: graders are just gonna be able to come up with
Speaker 1: their own ideas for what to put on. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I cannot wait. I mean it's one thing if like
Speaker 1: these shows got canceled and like none of us cared,
Speaker 1: but like we're talking about these shows. That's huge. Can
Speaker 1: I say something you needed the third graders if you
Speaker 1: were gonna revive Sex in the City for today, Because
Speaker 1: here's the thing, the third graders. Only a third grader
Speaker 1: could have a cursory enough understanding of the character Miranda
Speaker 1: Hobbs to have her spin out the way she does
Speaker 1: in that classroom with that professor, who, by the way,
Speaker 1: is Karen Pittman who's also on the Morning Show, And
Speaker 1: is she my favorite actress? Yes, it's a rule of
Speaker 1: culture number fourteen. Matt's favorite actressress is kids and Pittman
Speaker 1: from Sex in the City Revival and just like that
Speaker 1: and Morning Shows season one and two. Stam, you know,
Speaker 1: I bet Karen went into the classroom and like took
Speaker 1: a meeting with the writers and the third graders of like, hi,
Speaker 1: miss Karen, and hey guys, so what are you cooking up?
Speaker 1: And then they're like, um, you play a professor of
Speaker 1: a human rights program and you I think what we
Speaker 1: want you to do is be attacked by a chucky
Speaker 1: on the subway. Wait, hold on a second, this, you
Speaker 1: think this could really happen in real life. And actually
Speaker 1: the third graders, I mean, because you know who was
Speaker 1: obsessed with this storyline was Bowen Yang. I am obsessed
Speaker 1: with this storyline. The third graders killed this for you.
Speaker 1: They actually like like achieved something here, real talk, real talk.
Speaker 1: And let mean, I haven't fully been able to like
Speaker 1: verbalize this in the way that like is leare, but
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying when I say that, when
Speaker 1: you texted me this, I agree with every word. It
Speaker 1: felt like classic vintage sex in the City when it
Speaker 1: when it was known for having like edge, or when
Speaker 1: it was known for like showing like a little underbelly
Speaker 1: bits of New York City. Yeah, the random spurts of
Speaker 1: New York energy. That's specific chaotic New York thing. That
Speaker 1: felt really good. Yeah, in a real way. And it
Speaker 1: was just like see half of a scene, but like
Speaker 1: I kind of like appreciate and like there are little
Speaker 1: moments like that, like like in the second episode, right
Speaker 1: like when Mirandasi is carrying the kitchen the morning after,
Speaker 1: like she goes over and like, yes, that was making coffee.
Speaker 1: Like it's just an interesting little scene where I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: like you would have never gone this in the movie,
Speaker 1: I don't think, And it just feels like, I like
Speaker 1: when it has this sort of you know, little like
Speaker 1: flavor this body to it that makes sense, and I
Speaker 1: think that let's just say this and I'm going to talk.
Speaker 1: I'm real talk, That's what I'm going to do at
Speaker 1: this point. I think that the first time I watched
Speaker 1: the first two episodes of NG, just like that, because
Speaker 1: I have watched it now through two times, I think
Speaker 1: I was so in shock by what was going on
Speaker 1: and like the new way that the characters that we
Speaker 1: know and love are interacting with this very new world
Speaker 1: that that literally and figuraively I'm talking about because like
Speaker 1: it does feel like I don't know, like the Sex
Speaker 1: in the City. It's it's still it's right that it's
Speaker 1: called something different than Sex in the City, because it
Speaker 1: just doesn't feel like Sex in the City. It feels
Speaker 1: like an updated version of like if you took this
Speaker 1: characters into New York that was being filmed with one
Speaker 1: camera and now it's like a whole different lens on it,
Speaker 1: Like the voiceover not being there is a huge departure.
Speaker 1: It's only at the end it I was like wait,
Speaker 1: we're not doing the voiceover, Like, this is so weird.
Speaker 1: We're not using the same opening. She right, like we're
Speaker 1: in a different version of the columnists. Sorry, right, well
Speaker 1: now she's a damn podcaster, which we must discuss. We
Speaker 1: must discuss. But like that. The first time I watched
Speaker 1: it through, I was so like, oh my god, I'm shocked.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like that. And the second
Speaker 1: time I actually did, I appreciated it. I think the
Speaker 1: third graders understand what to do here. By the third graders,
Speaker 1: I mean, like you know, like Michael Patrick King and um,
Speaker 1: like these well known acclaimed writers. Yes, yes, that we're
Speaker 1: referring to as the third graders lovingly, because lovingly happened.
Speaker 1: That's why I love that this feels one not anything
Speaker 1: like the movies. Um, although I do, I mean, I
Speaker 1: do maintain that one is great. I like the first
Speaker 1: movie and too that it just feels like, of course
Speaker 1: it won't be like the same it would be. It's
Speaker 1: so funny though I can't tell what this would end,
Speaker 1: just like that's relationship or it's awareness of fantasy is
Speaker 1: yet because I feel like the original Sex in the
Speaker 1: City was a fantasy. Was this like, well to do
Speaker 1: Manhattan fantasy of like what like single women, like how
Speaker 1: like what they were thinking about how they lived this.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, so COVID happened, and it's over quote
Speaker 1: unquote and completely eradicated a world where it happened and
Speaker 1: we beat it and no one's wearing a mask and
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and so I can't even like I
Speaker 1: can't even like sort of like draw a line to
Speaker 1: where we are in the present day and at the end.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, so this is taking place on
Speaker 1: a different timeline, Like let's just I have to accept
Speaker 1: that first. Then that is I would say, fantastical. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think this is still a fantasy, which
Speaker 1: makes it I guess, okay to like watch it and
Speaker 1: laugh at the frivolous parts, but then I don't know,
Speaker 1: appreciate the parts that like try to ground itself in
Speaker 1: some like real reality that's redundant, but like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I feel like all the little glimmers of I never
Speaker 1: thought Sex in the City was that frivolous, to be honest,
Speaker 1: when it was on, I was always like, this is
Speaker 1: a very mature developed show, has a lot to say
Speaker 1: it's very bold. It's because you took what the women
Speaker 1: were taking seriously seriously. The only reason it was known
Speaker 1: as a frivolous show is because it was about women.
Speaker 1: Like it was. The show had like really, this show
Speaker 1: was always tackling things that were really I mean, there
Speaker 1: was gravity and everything like this. I feel like I
Speaker 1: feel like the gravity is back, I mean a way
Speaker 1: for me. It's just like what they really needed to
Speaker 1: do with these first two episodes, and I'm really happy
Speaker 1: that two were released all at the same time was
Speaker 1: really show you just how much they were going to
Speaker 1: reboot the show. You have to answer and spend time
Speaker 1: on the Samantha of it all, the big of it all,
Speaker 1: in order to adjust us all to the new reality
Speaker 1: of and just like that not sex in the city,
Speaker 1: and yet you still have to honor sex in the city.
Speaker 1: And so it did take these first two episodes to
Speaker 1: do that. And then you see in the trailer of
Speaker 1: what the whole show is going to be. We actually
Speaker 1: are getting a comedy, but you need to have these
Speaker 1: first two episodes I think carry dramatic weight to not
Speaker 1: to to pun and not mean to um. But but
Speaker 1: I also think the enough of the humor was there
Speaker 1: where I'm like, it's not gone, Like I love that.
Speaker 1: The first thing Miranda says is I stepped on my
Speaker 1: son's used condom this morning. It's like that is a
Speaker 1: intro line at brunch in a class at sept in
Speaker 1: the city. Sense. You're absolutely right. The first two episodes
Speaker 1: did have to bust open the world. A lot of
Speaker 1: work to do and a lot it's a lot of
Speaker 1: work to do. I'm excited to watch. I will be
Speaker 1: watching every week like this is my new appointment television
Speaker 1: now that Succession is done, I do want to briefly
Speaker 1: touch on it, even though you don't watch it. No,
Speaker 1: I would love to talk about it yet, but I
Speaker 1: I don't know. All I'm saying is I'm very happy
Speaker 1: it's back. Me too, and I honestly that it's here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the new characters are interesting to me. I think that, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think for us and I actually think
Speaker 1: we should peel back the curtain on something, and I'm
Speaker 1: excited about it for me. I don't know how you feel.
Speaker 1: But when I watch a podcast recording on television or
Speaker 1: a depiction of a podcast recording on television, I'm always
Speaker 1: looking for something that makes it feel like like how
Speaker 1: are they doing this? Like how are we making a
Speaker 1: podcast fun on TV? And I think ultimately this served
Speaker 1: and of course it did like these writers are some
Speaker 1: of the grades, but it served character in a way
Speaker 1: and wasn't like the character they're doing a podcast. It
Speaker 1: was like about Carrie struggling at work. And so that
Speaker 1: is another important establisher is Carrie. You know, she always
Speaker 1: just like part of the DNA of the show is
Speaker 1: she has success as a writer. She's a columnist. Carrie
Speaker 1: Bradshaw has to adapt professionally. And that's another reason why
Speaker 1: I think it's a really valid thing to explore if
Speaker 1: you're going to reboot the show, because you know her
Speaker 1: life is going to get more difficult as the media changes.
Speaker 1: So I thought that that was really great. And I
Speaker 1: also think it's cool that part of the d n
Speaker 1: a of what she's going to go through is she's
Speaker 1: going to have to become more open. And this is
Speaker 1: someone who was always you know, at the forefront and
Speaker 1: known as being revolutionary and bold and Carrie Bradshaw. So
Speaker 1: to see Carrie Bradshaw be confronted with the fact that
Speaker 1: maybe she's not edgy, it's fun to me, it's it's meta,
Speaker 1: it's self aware in a meadow way where they understand
Speaker 1: the show cannot possibly be the edgy show it was
Speaker 1: back then, and these women will not have the same
Speaker 1: kind of sex that they did when they were in
Speaker 1: their thirties. Yeah, and I kind of I dug the
Speaker 1: podcasting a lot. I love like the quick cuts to
Speaker 1: like whatever the engineer was. They have their own loved that,
Speaker 1: loved that, and they have a hot engineer. It's so funny.
Speaker 1: I think I think that I think that engineer will
Speaker 1: reappear in some intimate way. It seems like, yes, and
Speaker 1: I would fucking love that. And also, um, so that's
Speaker 1: like one of those things that's just in there enough
Speaker 1: where I'm like, I think you're right about that. You
Speaker 1: know what else is just in there enough that I
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a thing. Miranda's drinking, like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, asiably ordering. Well. It's so funny because
Speaker 1: when I first watched the episode and the episodes and
Speaker 1: I got to the end, I didn't even think of
Speaker 1: the fact that in a few different scenes we see
Speaker 1: Miranda needing to drink at the morning before she goes
Speaker 1: to class and waiting in a bar when she's fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes early. Then later on we see her like have
Speaker 1: to drink before she gives the eulogy at Harry's funeral,
Speaker 1: and she can't wait to get her drink there, and
Speaker 1: she brings wine to the piano recital, so like they're
Speaker 1: slipping in there that Miranda drinks a lot. And it's
Speaker 1: been really subtle because people that I've talked to having
Speaker 1: noticed it, but I've been picking up on it. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we've noticed it. Um. I was at dinner and people
Speaker 1: were talking about, how, like, is it do we want
Speaker 1: to see miranda alcoholism story? This is what I think about.
Speaker 1: It might not even be an alcoholism story, because my
Speaker 1: thing is just like, of course, it looks like they're
Speaker 1: laying in the groundwork for that, but maybe it will
Speaker 1: just be a thing of She's being asked for the
Speaker 1: first time ever to to just consider her relationship with
Speaker 1: alcohol and what it is. Because another part of sex
Speaker 1: in the city is they do drink a lot. And
Speaker 1: so when she was ordering drinks, I was I didn't
Speaker 1: even second guess it because I was like, yeah, this
Speaker 1: is what they do, these women, they drink. She wants
Speaker 1: to drink before she goes to um class. She's a
Speaker 1: she's a professional like woman. She's like an adult woman
Speaker 1: doing this. She can make a decision about this. But
Speaker 1: then when I thought about the way they were depicting it,
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, if they're saying there's an issue here,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. And for the first time ever, it seems
Speaker 1: like she's going to have like the developing really close
Speaker 1: new friendship with this professor, and maybe this professor is
Speaker 1: going to be like you drink a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: like maybe that's where it comes from. Because all her
Speaker 1: friends aren't going to see it. They just accepted as
Speaker 1: the reality. How do we feel about each of these
Speaker 1: women having their own magical colored person um too, like
Speaker 1: kind of you know, like wake them up and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is what the world is like. Actually, I I'm conflicted, So,
Speaker 1: you know, I this is not the first time that
Speaker 1: I think like a character is a certain race. And
Speaker 1: then of course you have to ask the question of
Speaker 1: how how are the how is this character being utilized?
Speaker 1: We don't know them well enough yet. I think it's
Speaker 1: possible that they're setting enough groundwork and each of their
Speaker 1: individual stories that it won't feel like we're just there
Speaker 1: to service the main three. But maybe I'm giving it
Speaker 1: too much credit. I understand why you pose that, but
Speaker 1: I'm willing to give it a chance. Yeah, okay, I
Speaker 1: just I can't. If someone did bring up that it
Speaker 1: is insane that the thing that Miranda says after she
Speaker 1: saves she saves she saves Professor Nia from the attack
Speaker 1: is was that was that a white savior moment or whatever,
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's insane, Hey, that is like that is
Speaker 1: actually kind of crazy. If I was if I was
Speaker 1: the Karen Pittman character Dr and Nya, if I was
Speaker 1: Dr Nya and that in that instance, I'd be like, honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't like you are making me really uncomfortable constantly,
Speaker 1: and I think you should think about not being in
Speaker 1: the class at this point. I would just be like,
Speaker 1: this is I don't think this situation is working for me,
Speaker 1: and I'm the teacher, so you gotta go. Actually, Miranda's
Speaker 1: antics like when when she when she was trying to
Speaker 1: get into the when when Dr and I was trying
Speaker 1: to get into the Miranda's antics and then someone said
Speaker 1: I think it was Laverne Cox on the view they
Speaker 1: had Cynthia x and on and Laverne Cox was like,
Speaker 1: I love the show. I love Miranda, but is she
Speaker 1: the original Karen in because Miranda is that vibe, but
Speaker 1: not to this extent. I don't. I don't think she
Speaker 1: is the original Karen Thow like Miranda like was like,
Speaker 1: I definitely don't think she wasn't either make it. I
Speaker 1: mean everyone said this at this point, like make it Charlotte.
Speaker 1: It makes total sense for Charlotte to be that. But
Speaker 1: of course, like, I don't know, I'm sure we'll get
Speaker 1: some of that with her, and uh, this lt W character,
Speaker 1: I think that might be interesting because clearly it's like
Speaker 1: on a status level, like that lt W character is
Speaker 1: doing better than Charlotte, and Charlotte probably like is going
Speaker 1: into that relational thing being like, oh, I'm a piece
Speaker 1: of ship compared to her, which I kind of love
Speaker 1: because I think Charlotte sucks as a character. Charlotte is
Speaker 1: awful and I hate to say it, but I don't
Speaker 1: know how you feel. But in the scenes where Charlotte
Speaker 1: is taking up too much of the narrative, I'm like, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: a guiding principle of this character is that she's annoying,
Speaker 1: annoying and just let her be annoying. She can't, but
Speaker 1: what you're what you're saying, like like at this point,
Speaker 1: it's like too grading and you're like, as a viewer,
Speaker 1: you can't even like remember that. The way it needs
Speaker 1: to work is we need a carry a story, a
Speaker 1: Miranda be story, and some rotational thing of Samantha and
Speaker 1: Charlotte doubt down there. But we don't have Samantha to
Speaker 1: balance Charlotte. And that's why I'm really excited to get
Speaker 1: to know these new characters, because I feel like then
Speaker 1: it will populate more and we don't have to spend
Speaker 1: as much time with Charlotte because unfortunately, there are just
Speaker 1: not a lot of redeeming qualities outside of the fact
Speaker 1: that she is a very good and loyal our favorite
Speaker 1: word friend and she's well intentioned. But she's annoying and
Speaker 1: I often think she's not that smart. Oh no, that
Speaker 1: but that's the character. And I think like, since we've
Speaker 1: all understood the character to be um, I think that
Speaker 1: I will enjoy the whole thing. I'm also just like
Speaker 1: a little pissed that they just decided to make Steve
Speaker 1: hard of hearing deaf, because I was like, I wonder
Speaker 1: if David Eigenberg is hard of hearing and I looked
Speaker 1: it up and he's not. And I'm like, what's what's
Speaker 1: the storyline? Like they're fifty and they're all their bodies
Speaker 1: are falling apart. I don't know, and like like I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but Mr. D Eigenberg is still like so crazy hot,
Speaker 1: He's hot, virile. Why are we making him say what
Speaker 1: all the time? Like I want to I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear him about him being in like that's what
Speaker 1: his whole role is now if he feels I feel
Speaker 1: excuse voice got even Stevie or decades mad me hag yeah, Brady,
Speaker 1: bradyes fucking in the next rowe. I'm like, what is this?
Speaker 1: You forget? How just dominating Lee weird? His voices, it
Speaker 1: just takes over everything. Everyone I've watched it with and
Speaker 1: talked about this with has been like Steve's voice has
Speaker 1: never been this insane. It's like Carol Channing if she
Speaker 1: had no teeth. There's something That scene was absolutely the same.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, like he's so hot, still so hot,
Speaker 1: And I'm not that like I correlate hotness to like
Speaker 1: sexual activity, but like, like why wouldn't he and Miranda
Speaker 1: be having so much. So No, I here's the thing.
Speaker 1: If I'm in a relationship with Steve, I'm getting I'm
Speaker 1: really sorry to say this, but bread constantly, and I'm
Speaker 1: really sorry to just come out and say it like that.
Speaker 1: I hate that I did that, but I'm not. But
Speaker 1: I'm not a dishonest person. You're not a dishonest person.
Speaker 1: And the reality is he'd be breeding me. That is
Speaker 1: the reality if you were Oh my god, if you
Speaker 1: went into the third graders room, that that that you
Speaker 1: that'd be the first thing in your mouth. And you
Speaker 1: you don't you don't care that the third graders. No,
Speaker 1: I don't care at all. And you know what, here's
Speaker 1: the thing. If the classes, like sixteen seventeen kids, a
Speaker 1: lot of kids, I think four or five of them
Speaker 1: actually know what breeding is and then they all tell
Speaker 1: each other. And that's the grade I think four I
Speaker 1: think four or five third graders in the year one
Speaker 1: out of a class of sixteen or seventeen know what
Speaker 1: it means to get bread. Yeah, for sure, that's rough. Huh, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess a fourth grade maybe third grade? Do you forget,
Speaker 1: like the kids, what did you did you have any
Speaker 1: when you were like that age, really young, huge misconceptions
Speaker 1: about what sex was and how it worked. So this
Speaker 1: is my thing is that I didn't understand what come
Speaker 1: was until I was like in the fifth grade, right now,
Speaker 1: what did you think come was? Because I have a
Speaker 1: story about what I thought come was. I thought come
Speaker 1: was just like basically p but I honestly didn't understand.
Speaker 1: I like when when when I read it in the
Speaker 1: fifth grade, like sex sad like that like ejaculation happened.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I don't want I've never seen
Speaker 1: that word before and I don't care to know what
Speaker 1: it means, so I will not look into such an
Speaker 1: ugly word ejaculator number three such. So that was my feeling.
Speaker 1: So what was yours? I was told by I think
Speaker 1: this kid's name was Eric in like the second grade
Speaker 1: that he's like, yeah, like you ever think about come?
Speaker 1: And I was like, what's come? Like? He was like come,
Speaker 1: you know, like like semen And I was like oh
Speaker 1: and what is I was like what is that? And
Speaker 1: he was like, it's when you get really sexually excited
Speaker 1: and you rub your dick on something so much that
Speaker 1: you throw up white stuff. I thought this kid told
Speaker 1: me that like when you got sexually so excited that
Speaker 1: you threw up a little bit of white, and that's
Speaker 1: how babies got got how women got pregnant through their mouth.
Speaker 1: You threw up in their mouth the white and so like,
Speaker 1: I was like, that all makes a lot of sense
Speaker 1: to me, actually, because there is like a weird feeling
Speaker 1: like down there in your stomach. I thought, when you
Speaker 1: manipulate your penis. And then I thought, and then obviously
Speaker 1: the women swallow something, it goes into their belly and
Speaker 1: then their belly gets big. That makes sense to me.
Speaker 1: And it was I think months until I found out
Speaker 1: it was actually, you know, come in the traditional come sense,
Speaker 1: i e. It comes out of your penist. Girl, you
Speaker 1: go into third graders classroom, and then you get the
Speaker 1: script six months later and you go, I'm throwing up
Speaker 1: in Steve's mouth, Steve starting up in mine. Huh huh um.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I think the news would travel enough that
Speaker 1: they could do a storyline about it, but unfortunately they're
Speaker 1: doing the deaf thing with Steve. I think missed opportunity.
Speaker 1: But whatever, whatever, um, this is what I wanted to
Speaker 1: peel back the curtain on. Oh yeah, so the podcast
Speaker 1: of it all. So when Bowen and I did Lost
Speaker 1: Culture Restus live at was it Little Island? It was
Speaker 1: that Little Island. It was in August, Yes, in the
Speaker 1: middle of production. In the middle of production of it,
Speaker 1: just like that, we got a request that tickled us
Speaker 1: that Sada Ramirez would like to come to our show.
Speaker 1: And we were like, oh my god, do they listen
Speaker 1: to the podcast? Oh my god. We we thought, oh
Speaker 1: my god, maybe to the podcast. Then like after the show,
Speaker 1: like I had heard that they really enjoyed it. And
Speaker 1: then Bowen said, you know what it was because then
Speaker 1: by then the news had come out they were playing
Speaker 1: a pipe two and two together. Yes, And so Bone
Speaker 1: was like, I think they came for research to see
Speaker 1: like a live podcast show, because then in the preview
Speaker 1: for it, it's very clear yea as Chay does a
Speaker 1: live show. We were part of the research for the
Speaker 1: character of che you guys, we think we think I
Speaker 1: just want to say that I don't think they really.
Speaker 1: I think they might have been disappointed because I think
Speaker 1: they thought of us just stand ups and that like
Speaker 1: we were like very like socially, like we talked about
Speaker 1: like the issues capital I a lot, and what they
Speaker 1: ended up coming to was this like stud big comedy
Speaker 1: show where we each did one minute rance against like
Speaker 1: fucking like string cheese or whatever, you know, like it
Speaker 1: was a frivolous I don't know. I think I think
Speaker 1: they might have got something out of it, because I
Speaker 1: did hear from a connector that they really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: But I've been really it's been really crazy because I
Speaker 1: didn't watch Gray's Anatomy after a couple of seasons that
Speaker 1: they were on back in the day. I forget Sada
Speaker 1: Ramirez When they were in the elevator with Carrie going down,
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, there's like I hate I
Speaker 1: hate that character pulls out a pipe would never happen,
Speaker 1: So I definitely hate that that that does a pipe
Speaker 1: of it all. But I don't know. I guess what
Speaker 1: I'm saying ultimately is I am enjoying watching a sell
Speaker 1: with Sada Ramires in it because I fucking love Sada
Speaker 1: romeiraz me too. I just I have some issues with
Speaker 1: the way Chay has written so far. Okay speak on that.
Speaker 1: Just the whole introductory scene where they're on the mic,
Speaker 1: and it makes total sense that this is how you
Speaker 1: would introduce this character her, But the way that they
Speaker 1: sort of rattled off all of these identities, yeah, and
Speaker 1: like made it made it such a I don't know,
Speaker 1: like so cloying and it's not a it's not a
Speaker 1: sour thing. It's like in the writing. Unfortunately, the third
Speaker 1: grade has kind of chunked it on this. I think,
Speaker 1: like with all due respect to Mr King and Starr
Speaker 1: or whoever else was involved, but like I feel like
Speaker 1: it was pure, like like I don't know, like breaking
Speaker 1: every rules of pilot logical like I'm I'm at this person,
Speaker 1: am that that that that you know, like just giving
Speaker 1: you such not not exposition, but like, well, I I
Speaker 1: think that what you're responding to is the fact that,
Speaker 1: like what the character's identity just kind of gets stated
Speaker 1: in this way where it feels like is that easy?
Speaker 1: I'm never shown, it never gets I'm willing to forgive
Speaker 1: it only because it happens in the context of an
Speaker 1: opening line on a podcast, and that is so of
Speaker 1: the way that a lot of podcasts like that work.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's it's I think it's gonna bother us
Speaker 1: more than it's gonna bother anyone else. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know I'm hearing some people say. People are
Speaker 1: seemed to be split on it. People are like, I
Speaker 1: love Chay as a character, and I'm like, why are
Speaker 1: they given we to teenagers at funerals? You know? Like
Speaker 1: I think that they for sure are. It's it's too
Speaker 1: far in terms of like, I mean, pretty much across
Speaker 1: the board. The first two episodes went a little too
Speaker 1: far in every direction. But this is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I fear that it will continue to go at the
Speaker 1: same pace. In the exact I get it, and I
Speaker 1: also don't. I can't quite put my finger on what
Speaker 1: they're doing with Miranda and Jay. Do you think it's
Speaker 1: queer love stories? I don't know. It's maybe I don't
Speaker 1: know what did Steve ever do to deserve that? I'll
Speaker 1: be so piste off. This is what I'm saying. Gun
Speaker 1: into your head, Chay and Eve come up to you
Speaker 1: and say one of us will breed you every night.
Speaker 1: Only only one is gonna be said. I'm I'm I
Speaker 1: know who I'm going home with, but Miranda, she might
Speaker 1: make a different choice. It's it's not about what I
Speaker 1: would do, It's about what Miranda would do. And unfortunately
Speaker 1: I don't buy that from Miranda, Like if we're taking
Speaker 1: Miranda in a queer direction just because she's played by
Speaker 1: Cynthia Nixon, I just I don't know. I don't buy it.
Speaker 1: I think Miranda like she looks guys. I don't know Miranda,
Speaker 1: like Miranda was kind of like I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't think Miranda needs to be queer. There I said it.
Speaker 1: I don't need that storyline. I don't really want it.
Speaker 1: I don't think that Steve deserves that. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's worth her shaking up her family structure. And I
Speaker 1: don't believe it. And if we're gonna do it to
Speaker 1: make a point and explore a queer storyline, I'm not
Speaker 1: about it. Period. Here's what it is for me. If
Speaker 1: they want to preserve this eat the insects in the city,
Speaker 1: that it's about these sis head white women, and like
Speaker 1: what it meant in the nineties and what it means now,
Speaker 1: there's something like I don't know, like, let's there's something
Speaker 1: to like maintain in that right, like don't don't change
Speaker 1: the variables around too much or even even if one changes,
Speaker 1: and that kind of like domino effects out for me
Speaker 1: where I'm like, well then I can't really then, and
Speaker 1: then like I can't really you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: how what to think of the show anymore, because am
Speaker 1: I supposed to sympathize with Miranda, like beyond just liking
Speaker 1: her as a character over the years and being invested
Speaker 1: in her, Am I supposed to be like, well, I
Speaker 1: guess she's been you know, further oppressed in her womanhood
Speaker 1: by being like in the closet her whole life. Like
Speaker 1: I don't like if if if they're going to like
Speaker 1: pair each of them up with a magical colored person,
Speaker 1: I'm like, let's not like up and let's not compromise
Speaker 1: that like dynamic in any way. Am I making sense?
Speaker 1: You are? So? I mean, I just I don't know
Speaker 1: if if Miranda were queer, then I then I start
Speaker 1: to question, like I'm I'm of the mind that this
Speaker 1: is a fantasy, that this whole show has always been fantastical.
Speaker 1: And if I like, if if any of these characters
Speaker 1: gets like a shade drawn like just a shade like
Speaker 1: lightly cross hatched in, I'm like, oh no, this ruins
Speaker 1: like that. I hate to say this word, but there's
Speaker 1: a purity there in terms of like, oh these are
Speaker 1: I don't take these women seriously because you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just don't take them seriously. I either
Speaker 1: aspire to be somewhat like them or I just laugh
Speaker 1: at how they behave. Yeah, I think that like the
Speaker 1: only person and even like this is different now, but
Speaker 1: the only aspirational character was carried. But I also think
Speaker 1: that has so much to do with statistic A Parker.
Speaker 1: We were talking about this, like what a fucking noxious
Speaker 1: character on the page, but it's s JP who fucking
Speaker 1: may you fall in love? There are some shots of
Speaker 1: s JP in these episodes where I'm just like, my god,
Speaker 1: like so much for being on screen. Thank you. She
Speaker 1: is a star. She is an absolute capital S star
Speaker 1: and such a good actor, honestly good. So much of
Speaker 1: the reason why I will be ride or die with
Speaker 1: these characters is because of Sarahistica Parker and Cynthia Nixon
Speaker 1: fucking make everything at least seem like it's working or work. Seriously.
Speaker 1: I love everyone involved on the show. Can we just
Speaker 1: say that I would die for anyone who was on
Speaker 1: the call sheet front back page two. Queen, queen, thank
Speaker 1: you so much. This is the takeaway. We we work
Speaker 1: kind of we're kind of like fucking spew and bile
Speaker 1: left and right being stupid. Starky faggots be like like
Speaker 1: that snarky Fagus. Snarky fagus. Maybe that's title. Maybe snarky
Speaker 1: Faggots is the title snarky fag Honestly, that is if
Speaker 1: they were doing like a satire of this podcast, they
Speaker 1: would call it snarky faggots. If they had to write
Speaker 1: like they had like jaglass it was like an Adam McKay,
Speaker 1: don't look up about it would be called snags. Do
Speaker 1: exchange the name of the podcast going forward, Snarky Faggots.
Speaker 1: I love that ep of Darks, the second darky episode
Speaker 1: of Snarky when she was on Snarky Faggots. Sorry, sorry
Speaker 1: when whenever in Lost CULTU Sorry sorry snarky fagots. Um.
Speaker 1: I just want to say that for all the snarky
Speaker 1: faggotry that we do here about a show like and
Speaker 1: just like that that everyone you know is having fun
Speaker 1: like talking about it's the new It's the new Morning
Speaker 1: Show in terms of the cultural conversation that takes up,
Speaker 1: because the Morning Show was a huge cultural conversation. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: but we love every single every single person involved is
Speaker 1: I will be at there like every birthday, even like
Speaker 1: young Brady who's now fucking And by the way, the
Speaker 1: scene where when the episode opened on Brady fun ship
Speaker 1: out of his girlfriend in the next room from Uh,
Speaker 1: Miranda and Steve, I was like, Wow, now, I guess
Speaker 1: that's why we've stooped to in order to get sex
Speaker 1: and sex in this and we have to watch seventeen
Speaker 1: year olds fucking each other. Banana to that girl, it's
Speaker 1: never gonna I'm never gonna yank it to Brady. I'm
Speaker 1: just not give me a Bobby kind of volley, hon,
Speaker 1: I would love that with the funking Kim from the
Speaker 1: ear in the ear, I miss Samantha miss so much
Speaker 1: it sucks. I fucking hate it. I hate that she's
Speaker 1: not there. I I can't even like obviously Kim control,
Speaker 1: she should do whatever she needs to do, whatever she
Speaker 1: wants to. But I missed Samantha. I really do. And
Speaker 1: you and I said this are dumb, wishful, naive little
Speaker 1: asses for thinking we each separately thought this on our
Speaker 1: own and watching these first two episodes, well, I'll be
Speaker 1: really special if Kim Contrall shut up and came back.
Speaker 1: Sob dream My Dream Bowen is the last scene of
Speaker 1: the last episode of this season is just you hear this,
Speaker 1: You hear this word. It's like carries aloud, no matter
Speaker 1: what you're saying at night, and you just hear this
Speaker 1: voice say Carrie. And she turns around or actually would
Speaker 1: be more like this, Carrie. And she turns around and
Speaker 1: you see Samantha standing there on the street like with
Speaker 1: like holding her holding her clutch like in a white
Speaker 1: coat like and Carrie Bradshaw just she runs over and
Speaker 1: they don't even have to have a conversation about like
Speaker 1: why they haven't been friends or why they've been a
Speaker 1: strange She runs over and they embrace and wordlessly we
Speaker 1: know it's okay, like because I hate that she's not there.
Speaker 1: Mt it just be so beautiful that it's it starts
Speaker 1: with a loss and then it ends with like the
Speaker 1: most beautiful like reunion, this most beautiful gain. I just
Speaker 1: don't believe the reason why she's not there. It's not
Speaker 1: good enough. Like they had a fight because Carrie Letter
Speaker 1: goers her publicist in a completely understandable fashion, and Samantha
Speaker 1: went to another country never speaks to them again. Or
Speaker 1: you would die for her friends she fed her soup
Speaker 1: in the bed when she went like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Like this is not good enough. I was going to
Speaker 1: pitch that, she says Carrie, and then Carrie turns and
Speaker 1: it's Samantha with a perfect bowl of soup spoon out
Speaker 1: going like that like the way she did in the
Speaker 1: movie especially. I mean, you know, what, can we talk
Speaker 1: about the soup moment. I'm sure we've talked about the
Speaker 1: super Woman anytime we've fed her, but no, she fed
Speaker 1: her mama. But I'm saying, like, Kim Control, that is
Speaker 1: the acting impact that this woman has, Kim ConTroll, Like
Speaker 1: I It's burned into my brain, just the motion of
Speaker 1: her wordlessly like holding out the soup and then like
Speaker 1: pushing the spoon forward and smiling at her at Carrie
Speaker 1: as because she had all the love in the world
Speaker 1: for her. I think that is just a two seconds, silent,
Speaker 1: wordless moment of the most beautiful moment of friendship captured
Speaker 1: on film is that moment, two seconds of nothing, of
Speaker 1: just a soup, a soup spoon gorgeous. I could cry.
Speaker 1: Kim Control as Samantha Jones on Sex in the City
Speaker 1: is one of the most important comedic performances and performances
Speaker 1: in television history. It is. It is formative. We're being
Speaker 1: completely serious. There's not there's not a world I want
Speaker 1: to live in. Well, this isn't something everyone believes. You
Speaker 1: have to give it up for Kim Contralla Samantha Jones
Speaker 1: because on the page, when you have no template for
Speaker 1: hor Samantha is and you walk in and you create
Speaker 1: that character, you're a genius. Actually, and it is in
Speaker 1: watching and just like that. Unfortunately, while I'm enjoying it,
Speaker 1: you do realize, like, well, it's just not sex in
Speaker 1: the city without sex in the city, and it's good
Speaker 1: that they don't call it that for many reasons. Well,
Speaker 1: any any any parting thoughts before on sex in the city,
Speaker 1: and just like that. Well, and I'm just like that. No,
Speaker 1: I'm ready, I'm excited. I'm ready. I'm ready to go,
Speaker 1: and I won't miss big. I'll tell you that I
Speaker 1: don't want to see Aiden's ask again neither. Let's put
Speaker 1: her with someone new. The hot engineer Burger comes back here,
Speaker 1: what Burger comes back? Honestly, I'm interested to see how
Speaker 1: he's developed. Me too, I'm interested to see how he's developed.
Speaker 1: And I'm Actually, I'm willing for that. I'm willing to
Speaker 1: get to a place where that's endgame. I think they
Speaker 1: are going to really surprise us. I think the third
Speaker 1: graders have a lot rolled up their sleeves, and as
Speaker 1: smart I'm saying in a smart way, they will make
Speaker 1: Burger very a very interesting character. Now, do you have
Speaker 1: any parting thoughts on And just like that, um, I
Speaker 1: will have additional ones later on in the show. Let's
Speaker 1: just say that you did see West Side Story. Do
Speaker 1: you want to glow and praise? Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: mean I just loved it. And then and let's give
Speaker 1: big ups to Tony Kushner for for for writing a
Speaker 1: b beautiful little monologue the scene for Mr Corey Stole
Speaker 1: to first, Yes, Tony Kushner is good Corey. For Corey
Speaker 1: Stool to deliver a little monologue at the beginning of
Speaker 1: this widely beloved movie, bold move to give like pure
Speaker 1: exposition basically but only just enough about the about what's happened,
Speaker 1: why they're conflict, why there's this turf war between these
Speaker 1: two games. I really loved that as a way to
Speaker 1: just like level set the whole thing, because you know what,
Speaker 1: you know what you're going to get when you go
Speaker 1: to see West Side Story, right, I was not expecting
Speaker 1: that scene. Is that you know that that's I find
Speaker 1: that first seemed very interesting. You know, I think that
Speaker 1: it fills in this is I guess the thing is
Speaker 1: like it does fill in gaps in a way where
Speaker 1: you almost feel watching it when they do a little
Speaker 1: bit more or fill in a little bit more than
Speaker 1: the original did, like do we need to do this?
Speaker 1: Are we messing with a classic? But I think that
Speaker 1: everything they added improved the storytelling. I really loved I'm
Speaker 1: not the only one who loved that that cloister date
Speaker 1: between Tony and Maria. I was like, this is the
Speaker 1: perfect because in the original I should know this, but
Speaker 1: like one and one Heart was somewhat nondescript. I want
Speaker 1: to say, I just really love that, Like they took
Speaker 1: advantage of the fact that this is a film that
Speaker 1: is said in the you know, New York in the fifties,
Speaker 1: and yeah, where would they go? Let's ask the question again,
Speaker 1: where would they go? And like like they take the train.
Speaker 1: They I love that scene on the train so so
Speaker 1: sweet and like you got to see because like part
Speaker 1: of the tragedy of you know Westside story, Romy and Julia.
Speaker 1: I guess is that you don't really see, you know,
Speaker 1: the lovers like outside of this environment where like you know,
Speaker 1: violence is happening all around them, or like you know,
Speaker 1: animosity is just in the air. I kind of like
Speaker 1: that they broke that a little bit away from the
Speaker 1: source materials where like you got to see Tony Marian
Speaker 1: like a date. Yeah, I I completely agree with you
Speaker 1: that in Star Crossed Lovers is hard to sell like
Speaker 1: and so you do need to see chemistry play out,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. This is the thing too,
Speaker 1: is it's like romantic comedies and and love stories need
Speaker 1: to not forget. We need to see the love. We
Speaker 1: need to see the chemistry, like those cute little scenes.
Speaker 1: I'll bring one up and bring it on when they're
Speaker 1: brushing their teeth class act. You need that scene and
Speaker 1: like and like, all love stories need that. So that's
Speaker 1: a random example, but I think it's a good example.
Speaker 1: And so to see them just on the train, the
Speaker 1: way the scene was directed, the way the acting was
Speaker 1: playing out, I was like, yeah, I get that there's
Speaker 1: chemistry here, and I understand why they're doing the state
Speaker 1: together and why they want to be together, even if, like,
Speaker 1: even if it felt extras, it's better for the story. Yes,
Speaker 1: um loved you know. Rina Murino is basically the new
Speaker 1: the new doc Um. What did you think about the
Speaker 1: last scene with her after Anita's assault? So so, so beautiful,
Speaker 1: And my fucked up and probably incorrect take on the
Speaker 1: somewhere of it all is that it was so powerful.
Speaker 1: It's such a different thing for her to say. I
Speaker 1: just thinking about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I really still
Speaker 1: part of like the dumb originalist in me is like
Speaker 1: I do want to see Tony Marias saying that still
Speaker 1: so like kind of give like an extra like like
Speaker 1: I don't know, split the song in half and have
Speaker 1: like Valentinus sing the first half and then or maybe
Speaker 1: Tony Marias in the first half and then have the power.
Speaker 1: Really like a reprise of it would be c But
Speaker 1: maybe I mean Spielberg and Kushner like knew what they
Speaker 1: were doing when they gave that song to her. Here's
Speaker 1: what I think they were saying when when they changed
Speaker 1: that moment. I think that they were saying they're not
Speaker 1: in any way trying to like replace the original. No,
Speaker 1: it's just own living breathing thing. And I almost think
Speaker 1: it's a comment on the original. And let's this particular iteration,
Speaker 1: have that moment, which I do think is powerful for
Speaker 1: her to sing that song when she sings it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean not a crier at films you know this?
Speaker 1: Did you cry? Stopped sobbed? What was the first thing
Speaker 1: that got you? Well, it was the last thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the whole it was. It was the last
Speaker 1: Mariam monologue, um where she takes the gun and it's
Speaker 1: it's so, it's just so, and she was killed now
Speaker 1: because I hate now. So that is so. It really
Speaker 1: sits in you for that to be the last emotion.
Speaker 1: I just I really loved it. And and Maria, Maria,
Speaker 1: I've just been a starting Rachel fantastic. You just have
Speaker 1: to be so fucking talented. You have to have you
Speaker 1: have such such immense talent to be able to do
Speaker 1: that and make it look that effortless. Yeah, she made
Speaker 1: it so like I had no second thoughts about who
Speaker 1: this person was and why she was playing this this part,
Speaker 1: which like I don't know, does that ever happen? I
Speaker 1: just was like, this is really special. And Ansel was
Speaker 1: a great Tony I thought the actor who played Riff
Speaker 1: was fantastic and Tornardo was with a great Bernardo Rianna
Speaker 1: was fantastic. She was so good. I'm disappointed to hear
Speaker 1: how badly it's doing. It is, Oh my god, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: it's like sort of bombing. It only made ten million
Speaker 1: dollars in its first week. Oh no, and um and
Speaker 1: or I don't it's just not doing well, which sucks.
Speaker 1: And I just really want to like implore people to
Speaker 1: go out there. And also who knows, maybe like and
Speaker 1: actually during the Christmas time, like more people out there.
Speaker 1: And I get that people are nervous still because who
Speaker 1: the funk knows what a macron really is like or
Speaker 1: COVID is still and I think unfortunately a large audience
Speaker 1: for this is probably going to be older because of
Speaker 1: the nostalgia factor, and maybe they're just a little bit
Speaker 1: nervous about theaters right now. But I just really hope
Speaker 1: that good movies start doing well again, because it is
Speaker 1: getting a little dire. To be honest with you, it
Speaker 1: feels like the only things making any money are like
Speaker 1: Ghostbusters nine, you know what I mean. Like it's it's
Speaker 1: sort of getting to that point where you have to
Speaker 1: feel a little nervous about the ways that certain movies
Speaker 1: are playing. And I don't know, I just I've loved
Speaker 1: going back to the theater. It's something I really miss.
Speaker 1: Like we were talking, Dave and I were saying the
Speaker 1: other night, remember when we were little, you'd go to
Speaker 1: see like The Grinch, like Monsters, inc. And the theaters
Speaker 1: were like packed. Yeah, miss that end. I miss that
Speaker 1: end so much. And like, honest, a heartbreak feels for
Speaker 1: some reason, heartbreak feels okay, what is the what are
Speaker 1: the lines? We're the most iconic thing right now and
Speaker 1: culture that's playing out is Nicole Kidman being in the
Speaker 1: AMC theater. Break feels good in a place like this.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Somehow hotbreak feels good. I mean, it's an
Speaker 1: iconic thing. People were applauding at the end of it.
Speaker 1: It speaks to how iconic movies are, like it meets
Speaker 1: the occasion for what it's trying to do. Nicole Kidman
Speaker 1: does her job extremely well when it comes to convincing
Speaker 1: us how magical movies can be. When the job is
Speaker 1: convince people how magical the movies can be, there's no
Speaker 1: one you should hire but Nicole. Nicole is a savant
Speaker 1: yes of an actor, and she will find a way
Speaker 1: to make all these lines absolutely sing. And she's giving
Speaker 1: it to you in the AMC theaters. You can't get
Speaker 1: that from a streamer. You just can't. All Right, here
Speaker 1: we go. Okay, this is Nicole Kimman's AMC speech for
Speaker 1: everyone that doesn't know. We come to this place for magic.
Speaker 1: We come to AMC theaters to laugh, to cry, and
Speaker 1: to care because we need that, all of us. The
Speaker 1: indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim
Speaker 1: and we go somewhere we've never been before. Not just entertained,
Speaker 1: but somehow are we born together? Dazzling images on a
Speaker 1: huge silver screen, sound that I can feel, somehow hotbreak
Speaker 1: like this, our heroes feel like the best parts of us,
Speaker 1: and stories feel perfect and powerful because here they are.
Speaker 1: We make movies. Be it a be a UM. I
Speaker 1: cannot do an Australian accent, especially whispy little American like
Speaker 1: Nicole does she? She she has her own little beautiful
Speaker 1: amalgam I mean. And as as for someone being born there,
Speaker 1: it's truly shameful that I can't. Um. Let's let's let's
Speaker 1: see there was the Golden Globe nominations that came out
Speaker 1: today and critics choice, Um, do we care at all?
Speaker 1: Did anything get shaken up at all? I? I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I thought that I don't care. I just
Speaker 1: didn't pay attention, which I guess me. And it just
Speaker 1: says it all. I can tell you. It's a lot
Speaker 1: more of the same, but I will say some some
Speaker 1: good things are happening, like we might see Kirsten Dunn's
Speaker 1: finally get a goddamn Oscar nomination. I need to watch.
Speaker 1: I need to see Power of the Dog. I need
Speaker 1: to see it too. I will sit through it and
Speaker 1: it'll be a nice movie to watch when I'm not
Speaker 1: busy with work. Can I quickly just talk about Succession?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Yes, I know we are split between
Speaker 1: the two of us. I want you to I want
Speaker 1: you to go off. But I'm just saying, like of
Speaker 1: Jeremy Strong, no no, no, no no. I've just the
Speaker 1: show in general. I know you do not enjoy it
Speaker 1: or have not watched it, don't care to watch it.
Speaker 1: Who cares about me? It's fine, I do don't. No,
Speaker 1: you're asking me to do something I don't want to do,
Speaker 1: so I care less care less about I just think,
Speaker 1: like the beauty of the show is that for most
Speaker 1: of the season, absolutely nothing happens like this is this, This
Speaker 1: This is how the show has been structured for all
Speaker 1: three seasons. To my mind, it's that nothing changes in
Speaker 1: like the nine episodes or eight episodes leading up to
Speaker 1: the finale, and then the finale ship goes crazy and
Speaker 1: then you almost wanted to deliver on the promise of
Speaker 1: what the prior finally does or sets up, and then
Speaker 1: the farcticool thing is nothing has changed. It's all It
Speaker 1: all goes back to the same model of Logan has control,
Speaker 1: one of the children wants it, one of the children
Speaker 1: wants to get it from him. HIV is being like
Speaker 1: the smart one who has it together, Romans being the
Speaker 1: impish trickster, Jeremy uh you know, Kendall is being like
Speaker 1: the self destructive time bomb. But like all of that
Speaker 1: is up ended in this finale and it's set up
Speaker 1: in the most genius ways. And I really fucking got chills,
Speaker 1: Like I was watching it and felt to myself and
Speaker 1: I'm sure you feel this way when you watch things,
Speaker 1: Matt is that I'm like, this is such an important
Speaker 1: scene in television I'm just I watched these scenes. There's
Speaker 1: there's a scene where they like where the two siblings
Speaker 1: um Shiv in Rome have to like listen to like
Speaker 1: I have to watch their older brother, the favorite to
Speaker 1: get the company like break down and like confess to
Speaker 1: all these horrible things he's done. And it's just shot
Speaker 1: in the most beautiful way, like in rural Italy. And
Speaker 1: I just watched it and it was not on any
Speaker 1: drugs or anything. I was just like, this is such
Speaker 1: a powerful scene. And then the last scene where like
Speaker 1: stuff happens like it's truly like it feels magical, like
Speaker 1: there's magic coming out of the screen. I'm like, Wow,
Speaker 1: this is I didn't realize TV could be like written
Speaker 1: like this, that it could be performed like this. I
Speaker 1: just I just thought it was fantastic. I just I
Speaker 1: kind of had my misgivings about this season, and I
Speaker 1: was like, this isn't as good as season two. Like
Speaker 1: you needed a you needed a Holly Hunter, you needed
Speaker 1: an episode or two with Terry Jones in it, but
Speaker 1: like this season didn't really have that. But oh all
Speaker 1: that like pays all the boring stuff like pays off
Speaker 1: in the biggest way and you need you would fucking
Speaker 1: die for something. I'm certain that I would, and I
Speaker 1: trust me. Like, it's not that I it's not that
Speaker 1: I haven't enjoyed the show. It's just that, with so
Speaker 1: much to watch, I just prefer, like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: because I know it's a show that I really have
Speaker 1: to sit down and absorb, and I have limited time
Speaker 1: to do that, and so it is a sit especially
Speaker 1: for it just takes a little bit longer for me
Speaker 1: to get off the ground with something like that. But
Speaker 1: what I have seen I do enjoy. And I think
Speaker 1: it's really smart of the show to remind everyone of
Speaker 1: the actual power player, which is Logan. And I think that, like,
Speaker 1: it's really smart for the show to make the stakes
Speaker 1: that now all the characters know the only person really
Speaker 1: standing in the way of them and taking over is him.
Speaker 1: Like it's it's just very solidfu thing. That's what it
Speaker 1: always That's what it always resets to them. Man, Like
Speaker 1: Aaron Aaron Jackson was saying this like brilliantly. He was like,
Speaker 1: the show is half of it is Shakespeare's The show
Speaker 1: is all Shakespeare on TV. Half of it is like Macbeth.
Speaker 1: The other half is like Midst of Nights Stream or
Speaker 1: like you know, like The Merchant of Venice or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like it's half of its tragedy, half of its comedy.
Speaker 1: But they're both Shakespeare in the ways that they're executed,
Speaker 1: and I I think I agree with that. Of course
Speaker 1: it's hyperbolic, just like compared to Shakespeare, but like, I
Speaker 1: think that's what it's like trying to like strike the
Speaker 1: balance of and it's like a dramedy in the truest way,
Speaker 1: in the truest sense. And I think that's what's exciting
Speaker 1: about what they did, is like in Shakespeare, once you
Speaker 1: realize that, like the king is like it's killed, and
Speaker 1: so like I think that's where it's heading. It's like
Speaker 1: they're gonna start. I think it's gonna be fun to
Speaker 1: see it get truly dark. Yeah, by the time season
Speaker 1: four comes out, I feel like, you don't worry, I'll
Speaker 1: be there. And I also like maybe even very soon
Speaker 1: I'll have watched. I also think, did you watch peep Show?
Speaker 1: I should watch peep Show. It's the same it's the
Speaker 1: same people, it's the same guy who to peep Show.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the thing did you see what's what's been
Speaker 1: going on online to about the Jeremy strong of it all,
Speaker 1: like just like a Chess day and Anna Hathaway and
Speaker 1: all these people coming to his defense. I'm kind of like, you, guys,
Speaker 1: like you should have just let this blow over, because
Speaker 1: people will then seconds later be talking about how incredible
Speaker 1: he is in the Succession finale. People will move on
Speaker 1: from this narrative. I don't know why all these actors
Speaker 1: that worked with him felt the need like they needed
Speaker 1: to go out and like be like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's a one sided profile. He's incredible. It's like what
Speaker 1: how how dark is his reality that he needs from
Speaker 1: you guys? That's number one. Number two, It's like we
Speaker 1: all know, we all understand that actors are annoying like this, yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's fine, it's not And the fact is like
Speaker 1: that just shows how seriously they take themselves too. I
Speaker 1: think it's just like very revealing. So then on that end,
Speaker 1: it's like, well then you got like a profile about
Speaker 1: an annoying person, people point out laugh at how annoying
Speaker 1: the person is. Then you have other annoying people come
Speaker 1: out and say like, hey, he's actually not annoying, Like
Speaker 1: it's like it's too much. All that is annoying, annoying, y'all.
Speaker 1: And I say this as an annoying that person about
Speaker 1: a two weeks in a row. I say this as
Speaker 1: an annoying person. I'm like, you know, consider shutting the
Speaker 1: funk up, dusting your shelves or something like, there's there's
Speaker 1: stuff to do. Because also it's true, they're all whacko.
Speaker 1: You know, we know all actors are wacko. You don't
Speaker 1: need to like, it's not that big of a it's
Speaker 1: just not that deep. And let us just enjoy his
Speaker 1: performance now. I mean, like, he's unreal. He's so good,
Speaker 1: he's so good. Look if he's gonna if he's gonna
Speaker 1: be that crazy, at least you're getting it on screen.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, him breaking down in this last episode
Speaker 1: was most some of the best acting I've seen in years.
Speaker 1: The Emmy is one. The Emmy is one. I am.
Speaker 1: I just think I love her to death. But like
Speaker 1: that the moment it like fully was like, oh this
Speaker 1: is crazy to me. Was seeing this whole Anne Hathaway
Speaker 1: post about him on Instagram. It was like, after the
Speaker 1: Jessica thing, It's right, I'm saying, why are we why
Speaker 1: are we? Like and like literally she says, he's actually
Speaker 1: or something to the effective, he's actually really fun and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not helping either of you. It's whatever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I will watch it because if
Speaker 1: someone's gonna this is the culture bit of a performance
Speaker 1: and my sister talk about in this way, I am
Speaker 1: not going to be left out in the damn cald
Speaker 1: no shivering like a like a babe, babe. This is
Speaker 1: what I have to say to you. You gotta stick
Speaker 1: it out until you get to Holly Hunter, until you
Speaker 1: get to Rate Rhea. I can't wait, and then you're
Speaker 1: set your coasting for the rest of the season. Two
Speaker 1: into three, three is gonna start. You're gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be good. It's gonna dip a little,
Speaker 1: it's gonna get a little boring again. But then Mr
Speaker 1: scarscard in Your Stars Scarred comes back in and then
Speaker 1: it gets interesting and then the finale is who who
Speaker 1: It's no, it's groo. It's the finale was the most
Speaker 1: groo thing all year to me. It was absolutely that
Speaker 1: hundred period hundred period period says it's it's like this
Speaker 1: in quotes, hundred period says the snarky faggots. Oh on, look,
Speaker 1: your arms look big like this to put your your
Speaker 1: bone is rocking some guns, y'all. I don't want having sex. No,
Speaker 1: he's been having sex. It's okay, flyar fire. I know
Speaker 1: you've been rolling in the bed. You've been rolling in
Speaker 1: the bed. What about what about you, honey? Per chance
Speaker 1: to drink out of the company of a gentleman just
Speaker 1: the other night, pret chance, chance to drink, for a
Speaker 1: chance to drink. Maybe I rolled in the sheets, got
Speaker 1: a foul Maybe I endeavored with my body okay. Maybe
Speaker 1: I set the bar sexually in the bedroom. Okay. Maybe
Speaker 1: I took a lover. Maybe I thrive have connecting with
Speaker 1: someone of a sexual nature. Maybe I look into someone's
Speaker 1: eyes as we entered each other. Oh, they love to him.
Speaker 1: You looked in their eyes when you entered each other.
Speaker 1: I can't see the I can't make eye contact. This
Speaker 1: is the first flip fucking love love making, flip fuck
Speaker 1: love making. The only enter each other. I was only
Speaker 1: I was thinking that in terms of you guys entered
Speaker 1: each other at the same time, which is that that
Speaker 1: would be absolutely thrown Well, you picked two, Okay, you
Speaker 1: enter each other? Yeah, sounds good. It's at the same
Speaker 1: time you make eye contact. You can't do all three.
Speaker 1: You can't. That's what sucks about being gay. You can't.
Speaker 1: You can't do it, your mom, you know what, you know,
Speaker 1: what's what rap about being gay? Sometimes they can't make
Speaker 1: eye contact and enter each other. You know, you know
Speaker 1: how vaginally if you gave me in with Dix, now
Speaker 1: let's move on and talk about Salt Lake City. Do
Speaker 1: we want to do a salta City up to Salt
Speaker 1: Lake City? And then I don't think so, honey. And
Speaker 1: also I want to say the finale of Survivor is
Speaker 1: this week, which I can't believe that I believe. I
Speaker 1: need to catch up. I didn't watch last week's episode,
Speaker 1: but I will prediction prediction, prediction. I'm rooting for our
Speaker 1: our guy, for Card Card Baby, come on coming through. Okay,
Speaker 1: likes not like, I mean, a fine episode. I still
Speaker 1: nothing's really changed for me. I did think that Lisa
Speaker 1: had one of my favorite quotes in a long time,
Speaker 1: which is, um, I'm not gonna do the impression, but
Speaker 1: she says, you know, Heather and Whitney probably count Lisa
Speaker 1: Barlows in their sleep. They go and I'm just imagining
Speaker 1: many an army, a line of Lisa Barlow's jumping across
Speaker 1: the fence, popping across the fence on it on a
Speaker 1: beautiful green hill. I'm obsessed. Also, I can't believe Whitney
Speaker 1: put her whole savings into the work, but she's gonna
Speaker 1: make it work. Because if I believe in one North Star,
Speaker 1: it's Whitney Rose. All I thought about when I saw
Speaker 1: her on my screen was go off, go off. I
Speaker 1: support her all the way she will never never not,
Speaker 1: she will never disappoint me, and the way that she
Speaker 1: said at the end of the episode. If I'm going
Speaker 1: to take Mary down, I need support. I love it.
Speaker 1: I think Whitney is We would be honored to have
Speaker 1: Whitney in the universe of Lost Cultures. The conversation has begun.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with the breakdown of Meredith and Lisa's friendship beginning.
Speaker 1: Like Meredith really her voice, They're like I like that
Speaker 1: at all or whatever she said, Like it was just
Speaker 1: it's really heading in the right direction. What did you
Speaker 1: think of Jen being like, well, first of all, like
Speaker 1: maintaining the line when she said that they they they
Speaker 1: had her son at gunpoint. My heart really did break
Speaker 1: because I was like, this is very real. Is the
Speaker 1: fact that like that footage that they showed of the
Speaker 1: ring camp that really bothered me, Like because honestly, like
Speaker 1: we see ship like that go wrong all the time
Speaker 1: and post everything that's gone on in the past few
Speaker 1: years with police brutality, Like if your heart doesn't go
Speaker 1: out to someone whose kid had a situation with the
Speaker 1: police like that, like a young black man, like who
Speaker 1: has a situation like that with the police? I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like Jen is a violent person, I think, and she
Speaker 1: is like likely like going to prison, But my heart
Speaker 1: did go out to her there because she probably also
Speaker 1: felt responsible for it because she is sure she because
Speaker 1: she is Yeah, um uh, I mean it looks like
Speaker 1: the rest of the episodes of this season are going
Speaker 1: to be a barn Burners bangers. So that's that's all. Um.
Speaker 1: This this was like a decent episode. Nothing really happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's setting up the state. What did you
Speaker 1: think of Jenny's daughter, who's like a forty three year
Speaker 1: old woman. Find cute cue precocious little girl. Love it.
Speaker 1: We love to see it, like the way that she
Speaker 1: laughs and has opinions about food. She really is like
Speaker 1: an old woman. Yeah, well, I think it's time for
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. I think this is a
Speaker 1: fabulous time for. I think this is a fabulous time.
Speaker 1: Do you have something I deal? Okay, this is beautiful.
Speaker 1: What I love to hear. This is Matt Rodgers is
Speaker 1: I don't think so honey. As time starts now, I
Speaker 1: don't think so honey. I try to make a big
Speaker 1: purchase and Chase shuts it all down. Girl, Just let
Speaker 1: me use my damn card, please, or just don't worried
Speaker 1: send me that's like, is it you? I'll say yes,
Speaker 1: but don't make all the cards not work. I'll be
Speaker 1: in a place and like it'll be like one, two, three,
Speaker 1: cards all don't work and it's all Chase. And it's
Speaker 1: because like suspicions activity. I'm going around to different cities
Speaker 1: right now. I'm a little bit of a traveler. Just
Speaker 1: send me a text and confirm it to me. Don't
Speaker 1: just like make the card, don't just decline the card please.
Speaker 1: Then I have to struggle with my girl. I don't
Speaker 1: think so honey that I have to hang out with
Speaker 1: my girl at the counter for that long as she
Speaker 1: watches me like struggle, but please help Chase. You are
Speaker 1: the bank, and I want to go to the bank
Speaker 1: and get access to my dollars. Please. I want to
Speaker 1: buy this little jacket by this gift. I want to
Speaker 1: buy this. I don't think that's girl. You got to
Speaker 1: call out them up and say I don't want to
Speaker 1: get on the phone with them. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: any reason for me to ever talk to my bank.
Speaker 1: That's just the position I take. That's how I was raised.
Speaker 1: That's not quite helpful, Like eventually, when you buy a
Speaker 1: house or something, you want to be able to know
Speaker 1: how to talk to your bank. I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: not a relationship. I think it's healthy for me. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's respect. I respect that. Thank you for at least
Speaker 1: respecting me, even if you can't agree. Because when we
Speaker 1: come on this podcast and debate cultural topics, I don't
Speaker 1: ask that you agree with everything I say. But when
Speaker 1: I really think, I just want you to respect me
Speaker 1: and have a little bit of respect. That's literally all
Speaker 1: I ever asked. Okay, and I hope that's all I
Speaker 1: ever give you on my honor. Good. I would hate
Speaker 1: to have to come over there and snack you around.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for my clock side. That's why I'm staring
Speaker 1: with this boy. Okay, this is so I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: And as time starts now, I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: The full way of this Peloton thing we played out
Speaker 1: so in the end it was like product placement. It
Speaker 1: was like a fucking partnership deal, like the fucking ad
Speaker 1: that came out today on Monday of Chris Note and
Speaker 1: Jess King iconic instructor. Jess King, do you know doing
Speaker 1: I'm you know, a little cute double entendre thing by
Speaker 1: the fire. Oh, let's hop back on. You want to
Speaker 1: do it again? I'm feeling great. And then you have
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds coming in with a little cute voice over
Speaker 1: thirty seconds. I love everyone involved. I just hate that
Speaker 1: we were all basically fooled into thinking that this was
Speaker 1: a completely like everyone was common by by surprise, including Peloton.
Speaker 1: That feels so campy to me. But now the fact
Speaker 1: that this was a long walked with commercial all along
Speaker 1: makes me sick, Make me sick, want to vomit the
Speaker 1: bile out of my stomach. I think this we all
Speaker 1: got duped, and it actually is no longer fun. I
Speaker 1: actually have less respect for the move of killing Big
Speaker 1: on Peloton than I used to. That's one minute. I
Speaker 1: have to tell you that for that, for them to
Speaker 1: be like we have to fit in Peloton, we have
Speaker 1: to say it so many times I have Big die
Speaker 1: on it. But but but girl, in the end, that's
Speaker 1: not what it was. Like I think like Peloton was
Speaker 1: eventually they made aware before like they made it seem
Speaker 1: like this past week and that they were they saw
Speaker 1: it for the first time along with the rest of us.
Speaker 1: They didn't they knew was coming. And then they shot
Speaker 1: this fucking commercial weeks in advance too, Like it did
Speaker 1: not all come together, and like there was no way
Speaker 1: they could have shot that and executed that in the
Speaker 1: in the days that the show had been out. There's
Speaker 1: no way. You're right there, and so like it was,
Speaker 1: it was gam I'm saying, like we all like we're
Speaker 1: kind of line to that we were forced fed Peloton. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: so anyway, Allegro was iconic. I love when she said
Speaker 1: celebrate yourself. Jess King doing a lightly lightly Spanish accent,
Speaker 1: not a lightly Spanish, just doing a Spanish accent. We'll
Speaker 1: we'll go ahead, and say yes to that one. We're
Speaker 1: gonna accept. We're going to accept what a thrilling, snarky,
Speaker 1: faggy episode this was. You know, we definitely came up
Speaker 1: with our fucking faggy snarky opinions this time. Right. I
Speaker 1: think I thought we brought the SNAr and we brought
Speaker 1: the fag a tree to like sort of repellent snarky,
Speaker 1: disgusting motor mouth noxious gaze. And they're gay. They're so
Speaker 1: gross talking about come. One of them is white, one
Speaker 1: of them is Asian, Asian Chinese. If I had to
Speaker 1: guess first thought, if I go first thought Chinese, I guess,
Speaker 1: are they cute? I mean, I'm maybe they're interesting. They're
Speaker 1: interesting looking. One of them like their hands are both
Speaker 1: kind of weird. I really think I have weird hands.
Speaker 1: Do you have beautiful hands? And look at the look
Speaker 1: at my hands? No, they're beautiful. Your hand is so beautiful.
Speaker 1: Can I say something though, hands? And this is not
Speaker 1: just to say no, no, no, this is what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say. If you look at fingers and hands for
Speaker 1: too long, it's like that thing of when you look
Speaker 1: at a word too long and it becomes like a
Speaker 1: weird word, hands hands are so. Look at me. Look
