A little bit of an explanation that we owe everybody. We sit down for a full I would say what four and a half hours something like that something like that and um wouldn't you know what part five the final run of this 400 iconic 400 list part five the audio done fucked up uh it was in fact human error not on our parts not on our parts certainly not on our parts but here we are I mean we're taking time out of both of our busy schedules it's no one at the network's fault either no big money players has never been stronger and closer we are a tight unit and thank you to the whole team everyone tried their best to salvage the audio and the video.
Suffice it to say, we will never be putting ourselves in a position where this will ever happen again. And by that position, we mean that studio.
Let's just say that. We're not saying where it was.
We're just saying, woof, what a disappointment. Because we sat there for a very long time to record this.
But you know what? We love you more than we feel our disappointment.

And so here we are recording part five of the iconic 400. This is the grand finale.
By the end of this episode, you will know who number one is. We want to introduce hot producer Becca to the chat.
Hello. She has been dinging and donging.
And I just, I did think about this the other day. I said she had to keep her eye on the damn clock for 400 times, like 400 rounds.
I said, that is focus. While Chicha was on her lap, barking and jarking.
And she's back. She's back.
There she is. Chicha looked at her.
She didn't make the list. But Chicha is honorable mention with Halsey.
With Halsey. Chicha and Ashley, congratulations.
You know, as we said, HM is sometimes better than being on the list. A hundred percent.
Now, just before we launch into everything, I did just want to say one thing. Oof, you guys.
The hurricane that just, the hurricanes that have happened down in Florida, all really along the coast from North Carolina on down. And inland.
It's so devastating. My family is personally affected.
And just think of those people. If you're in a giving mood right now, I know everyone's being asked for money a lot.
But there's people that really need help. And so you can spare literally anything.
Do your research about it. I can't off the top of my head say where exactly to send money, but just please be aware that there's people that are a lot of, this is just a serious amount of devastation.
And there was no way to come back from the first one in time for the second one. Of course, it would be helpful if the governor of the state took a call from the president and vice president of the United States.
But I guess he's not willing to do that. It would be helpful if federal funding would not be held hostage either.
So this is why, even though, again, we are very aware that you're not all ATMs, this is incredibly devastating and overwhelming and sad. And please do what you can.
And if you're affected, we are with you. And thank you for listening.
If on the off chance you are listening to us as you are like surveying the damage that has been wrought into your world and your lives, hello, hi. Any reflections that you have, Matt, as we head into this? I guess this is a nice moment that we have of Respite reflecting on the iconic 400 before we dash through to the finish line.

Bowen and I are doing some stuff together. We actually just got back from Europe.
We did London and Berlin. And here's the thing about traveling.
You need some stuff to put your items in. And that baby is where I give you quince.
You want a first class quality suitcase? It's all about quince because vacation season is upon us. This year, I'm treating myself to the luxe upgrades I deserve with Quince's high-quality travel essentials at fair prices, like lightweight shirts and shorts from $30, pants for any occasion, and comfortable lounge sets with premium luggage options, like I've been talking about, and durable duffel bags to carry it all.
The best part? All Quince items are priced 50% to 80% less than similar brands. By partnering directly with top factories, Quince cuts out the cost of the middleman and passes the savings on to us.
And Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices and premium fabrics and finishes, which I love. Actually, you know what? I'm thinking about changing it up this summer.
I might do, instead of a rolling suitcase, I might do a duffel. Can you see me with a duffel? Let me know.

you see E.T.

In the woods,

you're kicking him?

Oh, I'm kicking it as hard as I can

Forget it. I'm clearing sleeves.

It's a moment of silence it's a moment of silence saw the world over the rainbow that wasn't very good I flopped my Liza and my Judy oh my god because there's only one of each don't ever talk to me about Nepos again because of liza and judy no you're right nepo baby nepo baby is a concept doesn't matter i root for my hawk number four i'm a hawk fan number four diet coke thank you for coming into my life i was late on this one that's okay there will never be another beverage for me.
I will say, you know what's an honorable mention? What? He showed us a Celsius. What flavor is that? Because I'm a big Arctic vibe fan.
Green apple cherry. Oh, okay.
Green apple cherry. That's a very aggressive flavor.
Celsius is the reason that I'm able to be anywhere in my life. But thank you, Diet Coke.
Thank you, Diet Coke. We're in the top three.
Number three, Lady Gaga. Little Monsters are so proud of you.
Single-handedly changed the pop music landscape. Pop culture landscape, really.
Period. Pop culture landscape.
It doesn't, I mean, it just, it should it just you know how they have BC? it should be BLG in more ways than one you know, every single time you do anything, it's interesting it's serrated in the words of Bo and Yang it is legendary it is Lady Gaga, You are a one of a lifetime icon.

You are one of a kind.

And there could be a hundred people in a room.

But if Lady Gaga is in the room, there's only one Lady Gaga.

One Lady Gaga.

There could be a hundred Lady Gagas in the room and I would be happy.

I would be overwhelmed.

Number two.

Oprah Winfrey.

Oh, God.

First of all, truly like it's hard to not say that Oprah Winfrey Oprah Winfrey Oprah Winfrey Oprah Winfrey Oprah. Number one.
Number one. No, you don't, Oprah.

Number one.

Number one.

Wait, before we get into it.

So this is number one on the Iconic 400.

We've made it.

What do you say we, just without saying who it is, play this person's I don't think so, honey, right now?

That is an incredible idea.

Let's play it.

I don't think so, honey. Listen, I can't with the overhead lighting.
Why do they do it to us? Why? And I shouldn't even say us because it's not us, it's me. I'm the one that gets the most tortured by the hideous lighting in every elevator, doorway, gyms.
Not that I go to the gym, but I'm just saying it's hideous lighting. The sun.
The sun is okay if it's at sunset. And then I will gladly go outside and put the, you know, the little hat on or whatever.
And that'll be pretty because it's sunlight caressing your skin. Of course.
But it's bad for you. So you got to be careful of that.
But overhead lighting, I don't think so, honey. No.
Please stop it. Every place I go, shut the lights.
15 seconds. Turn them out.
I don't want to see them. No more.
Yes. No more, honey.
There's 10 seconds. One more thing on overhead lighting.
One more thing on overhead lighting. It makes me sick.
And that's funny. The fact that we got Ryan and Kerry's I don't think so on overhead lighting is an all-time.
So now you know, the number one person on the Iconic 400, the guest next week, is the one, the only, the most iconic person in culture. Mariah Carey! The queen of Christmas.
Biggest female solo artist of all time. I mean, the blueprint for what it means to be...
Like, truly, all the girls copied her singing when she came out. Like, just...
And she's on our fucking show. And she's on our fucking show.
I mean, this is like another loop closed, honestly. And it was such a fun interview.

We were so grateful. We had

such a good time with her. We hope

you enjoy. And she's going

on tour again, so check her out. She has a

line of

merch coming out. Oh,

and you know the snow globes were sitting on

the table in front of her, and they are beautiful.

And they're bigger than you think. Gorgeous.
G gorgeous pieces for your home. I am so excited for that episode to come out.
I am beyond floored that we even got the opportunity to breathe the same air as her. She is the number one person on the Iconic 400.
And I think everyone knows that it's true. Everyone knows that it's true.
There's no disputing it.

400 episodes and more of Las Culturistas.

We thank you for celebrating with us in this way.

We hope you enjoyed.

I counted.

This episode is 440.

So we're already almost halfway to 500.

We'll see you soon.

Way sooner than you know, it'll be 500.

And we'll figure out

some more bullshit to do.

Hopefully in a studio

that doesn't lose our audio.

Yeah, we'll see you

in about a year.

Love you so much.

And can I tell you something?

We made this list,

but you are the number one person

on my list.

You're the number one person

on my list.

I love you so much, Matt Rogers.

Love you, Bowen Yang.

You are the star of my life, of culture to me. You are the most talented, the funniest person ever to live.
And I'm just so lucky to be a friend, to be a collaborator with you, and to share a Zoom with you. To say that the feeling is mutual would be a...
That would be to put it mildly, in the words of Mandy Moore, who didn make the list, but I guess like we've already highlighted her in such a way.

Just understand, Mandy,

you won the Lifetime of Culture Award.

It's better than the list.

You know what I mean?

It's better than the list.

Better than the list.

Oppenheimer was on the list.

Girl.

Well.

I mean, do we end every episode with a song?

We end every episode with a song.

And speaking of heroes, we sang a song about heroes earlier.

This is another one.

There's a hero.

If you look inside your heart,

you don't have to be afraid of what you are.

And if you want to

hear how that song was written,

listen next week.

Bye. When Mariah Carey

is on Las Cultures.
