Hey, big news for all you Platonic fans.

Season two is officially out on Apple TV Plus.

If you missed season one, here's the gist.

Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne, legends, play a pair of platonic besties, just like Matt and I, who are a total disaster together in the funniest way.

I can't wait wait to see that.

Luke McFarlane.

Well, now I'm really excited.

Luke and Carla Gallo.

Okay,

get me to the theater.

I mean, the show.

The TV.

The TV.

See, the thing is, Apple TV Plus is like watching a movie in your own home.

Everything on there is so excellent.

And you'll spot some familiar faces from SNL, like AD Bryan.

I know her.

Season two of Platonic is now streaming on Apple TV Plus.

It's hilarious.

Go check it out.

Look, Matt.

Oh, I see.

My eye.

Oh, my.

Bowen, look over there.

Wow, Wow, is that culture?

Yes.

Goodness.

Wow.

Las culturistas.

Ding-dong.

Las culturistas.

Calling.

I just popped a little treat

into the mouth, which is where those things go.

I'm so happy that you said that because one of the things I was most excited to get on here and talk to you about is I have.

Well, first of all, flashback to last year, the snack of the summer was cucumbers chopped up with some hot sauce and a little bit of salt and pepper there is a new snack of the summer

tell us this is my honor to say

the snack of the summer is frozen green grapes frozen green grapes you better freeze your grapes up take them out put them in a bowl let them you know soften a little bit pop pop pop it's as if you're eating dessert i'm thrilled to share this it's nature's jewelry in a a way, don't you think?

Yes, because you actually are more beautiful while you do it.

Just like everyone's more beautiful with jewelry.

It's rural culture number four.

Everyone's more beautiful.

Every more beautiful beautiful jewelry.

First of all, that is a huge announcement.

Congratulations to frozen grapes.

Green grapes, I'm sorry.

No red.

It's just that.

I can't be sure yet.

I know for a fact that frozen green grapes are.

I need to put something out there.

Why are they red grapes, red wine, green grapes, white wine?

You don't call them, I don't think you call them white grapes, do you?

Can I say I call them purple grapes?

Interesting.

I, but also I'm color deficient in the eyes.

No, you're being self-ableist.

You're so right.

You can invalidate you calling them purple grapes just because you're quote unquote color deficient.

Here's what I would say.

If you look at it and say it's red, you're definitely right because I'm color deficient.

And then

it's just me knowing knowing my,

it's me knowing my affliction.

I love the word affliction.

You're actually, you should unafflict yourself because they are actually purple.

Okay.

Most of the time.

Why did you say red then?

Knowing full well?

Because I call them red grapes because that's what they're called at the grocery store.

Oh, are they real?

Okay, so that's where we sort of diverge in the woods because I don't go in there.

What was the last time you went?

In a grocery store?

By yourself.

Probably one time I was making buffalo chicken dip for for some event.

So, this is like Super Bowl.

I'll go in the grocery store if I need to make buffalo chicken dip.

Basically,

and what do you get?

What do you get?

What are the ingredients?

Oh, girl, there's a whole list that I have saved, probably both in my notes app and on my phone as a picture.

But if I had to say off the top of my head, you need your rotisserie chicken, shred that on.

Oh, that's your shortcut.

A little bit of this cheese, a little bit of that cheese, a little bit of this cheese, a little bit of that cheese, some ranch, some blue cheese, some feta crumbles.

I'm gonna go with Frank's Red red hot that is so so so fab and i would you agree that rotisserie chicken is nominated

this year at the last culture east culture awards we're not sure for what category yet but i think it's a front runner I just want to say that I suddenly felt a surge of buzz for rotisserie chicken.

Think about how amazing rotisserie chicken is.

The smell, the look.

You skip so many steps in so many recipes by buying rotisserie chicken and the thing is it is monoculture yes people forget that like i think that rotisserie chicken is a tv show i think it's a film series i think it's so much more than just the most straightforward chicken you could really even get especially at the grocery store but it's for quadrant wouldn't you say 100

hmm I just want to quickly shout out the treat that I popped into my mouth.

Truly, this is not an ad.

Eaten Botanicals.

They sent me, they did send me like a fun little PR box, but they have really good marijuana products.

They sent me some too.

I'm so excited.

You are endorsing the stripa.

I'm endorsing this stripper.

Daily elevation is like, and their fixer-upper.

Those are like their big hits.

And then they have the nightly nightcap, which we took on Fire Island.

Yes, we did.

This past week.

Put us right to bed.

I didn't sleep Super World just because I was jet lagged that night, but then I took it later in LA and was out like a light, slept like a baby.

Work like a charm on me in Vire Island.

I mean, I have been sleeping so, and this is, I don't mean to brag.

I don't mean to brag.

No, please, you must glow.

But lately, I have been sleeping so well,

which I will say, listen, it makes the mornings difficult because I'm not the easiest riser.

Like some, like, it's either I rock it out of bed.

or it's really hard for me.

I don't have like a routine.

My mornings have been tough.

I think I'm just like adjusting to a new space literally.

So, you know, I'm finding it.

I'm sleeping so well that it's hard to get up.

Does that make sense?

I've slept.

I've slept and I can't get up.

Yeah.

It's sort of like when I'm down, I'm down.

But maybe that's also the amount of energy I'm expending, which is a lot.

Well, you are newly a city rat once again, and you are just kind of scurrying about and grabbing pizza, grabbing a little piece, a little Greek coffee cup.

You're really going all around.

And so you're just readjusting.

You're metabolizing the city in a new way.

It's been two cold brew mornings.

And I think that's too much for me.

I think it's, I've been overcaffeinated a lot.

That's okay.

It's New York, baby.

You're so right.

The push, the pull of the city, the city that swirls you, dips you, then kisses you right on the mouth, New York.

That city of life.

What is this the city of?

It's the city of life.

It's the city of life.

That's the only word that really encompasses all that New York does.

Can I just say, I mean, this is a preview from I Don't Think So, honey, but

ain't no city like New York City.

No.

This is the best city in the world.

It really is the best city in the world.

I hope you're not putting them up on a pedestal right now to yank them down later with your I Don't Think So, honey.

No, that's not.

New York is really in the news.

It's really in the news because of mayor.

Oh, yes.

Because of mayor.

Because of mayor.

Can we not?

Okay, so this is my plan.

Don't even rank Cuomo.

Don't rank Cuomo.

Zoran number one.

Zoran number one.

And probably nothing else.

Maybe.

I don't know.

Let's see.

We need to put all the chips on Zoran, don't you feel?

I feel like if we all solidified behind Zoran, we actually would have a serious race.

Well, this is what the Working Families party, if you...

Are a fan of them, if you align with their values.

I don't know how ranked choice works.

Girl, I vote for who I want to win.

I do the mayor thing by American Idol Rules.

They played Kelly's audition.

She has always been herself, that girl, that woman, that legend.

Because you know what she kept saying?

What?

What did she say, y'all?

In her audition?

Well, no, y'all, of course, but then she was, she said, cool beans.

Ah,

cool beans.

Well, she was famous for cool beans.

Well, I forgot about her association with cool beans until, until I saw this clip again.

And I was like, right, like Kelly was one of the big pushers of cool beans and cool beans is making a return.

I can feel it.

There was actually a time when Cool Beans was dangerously close to becoming Kelly's whole personality there on American Art.

Of course.

Like, and they were doing cool beans with her too much.

And I'm like, dude, stop making her the cool beans girl because this girl is the American.

I would have like true opinions on this as a gay 12-year-old.

I was like, I see what they're trying to do with her in this cool beans thing.

They're trying to minimize her.

And then they tried to say ducka, ducka, ducka.

Do you remember this?

This is what ducka ducka.

I thought it was waka waka.

No, at one point she was like Simon said something to her after on audition like, yeah, I didn't remember you from before, but you were good.

And just and just said it like that.

And she goes,

and she didn't know what to do.

So she very slowly made her way back to the green room.

And she gets there and they were like, what, what just went down?

And she said something like, he said what he said and I didn't know what to do.

So I was like, duck a ducka ducka.

And then they tried to make ducka ducka ducka a thing.

I was was like, this girl can't be ducka ducka ducka and cool beans, not saying re-e-s-p-e-c-t like that.

Ultimately, I won, though.

You know what I mean?

Here I sit on the throne of Kelly fandom, and I say, I look at all of my kingdom, and I say, I won.

So, this is all a conquest to you, being a Kelly fan.

It is.

I'm so Machiavellian.

Congrats to this scrappy woman.

Happy.

Taylor.

Happy for her.

No, truly happy for her.

Absolutely.

In the words of Baldan Dowd, we can finally admit to preferring the superior version of style, which is...

No, all of 1989 is back.

We are so back with all 1989.

I don't think I listened to the Taylor's version.

I walked away from 1989 for a little bit because of TV.

And this is, which is not to say that I love Is It Over Now and the Vault Tracks.

I've been going in hard on Reputation in the last six months, especially after this announcement.

Just like, what an album.

And she's right.

Like, how could she improve on this?

I did the same thing.

I did something bad is so slept on.

I did something bad is a crazy, little freaky, little weird, little genius pop song.

It's so bizarre.

It's number three on that album.

Like, it's early and it's really weird.

If you listen to Reputation in a Vacuum again, she went for it.

Like there were risks.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, if it's good enough for Cynthia Revo and Shoshana Bean,

never,

never forget.

That actually was so on my mind.

I couldn't get past that song on my rewatch of it.

And then I watched the Cynthia and Shoshana thing and I was like, yeah, I mean, this song had a moment, but didn't have its moment.

It's so kooky.

I love it.

No, it deserves its moment.

And why is, why does it feel so good?

I remember she did it in Reputation World Tour as well.

And it was, I was there in the rain and she like

really was feeling that song in this way that was so reputation era.

Just like, fuck you.

I'm, I'm this girl.

You know what I mean?

And I was just like, yeah, she really believes this.

She really is like,

she acted.

She was committed to the bit.

That's one of the chicest, shall I say, joker modes that we've had in pop culture recently because it was controlled.

It was like, I love Joker era.

I love villain era I love dark era mm-hmm you've had you've had that have I you when you were in college doing muratsad that was your villain era oh yeah but not in a way where yeah you know what actually yes that was my dark era yeah I don't know I can't stomach it I can't stomach like fuck you to everybody like I just know that's not who we are it's because you're in your heart you're you're ooey gooey you know what I mean you think we were ruthless towards each other playing Mario Barty though and I want to say that that is, I think, an area where we

truly go for each other during Mario Party because we both know it's war in the game.

It's love.

And I know that you make moves against me because you know I'll forgive you.

Like whenever you get the opportunity in Mario Party to like steal coins, you always come for me, your girl, because you know I'll forgive you.

So unfortunately, I had to pay you back and I took your star away.

And I spent 50 good coins on that.

Who like is the more punished person in this dynamic?

I didn't say there was a more punished person.

I said that we are at war.

And that is an area where we are at war.

And it's okay.

Matt turned the tide of the game last week.

We were playing Mario Party on Fire Island because it's been rainy there.

And so it's been a lot of indoor time with the house, which I actually do prefer.

Yeah.

I'm going to say.

But we were playing Mario Party Jamboree.

Really good stuff.

Really great game.

Really great game.

One of a game that Celestium loves so much that they joined the Discord for it.

Oh, what kind of things go down on the the Discord?

On the Discord, it's like, does anyone want to log on and play a game live?

Oh, nice.

It's really fun.

That is one thing I missed out on in my video game playing days is the live playing, but also that's probably fine.

I would have been so hooked and also probably

gotten weird with people.

And the Rodgers DNA,

Chelsea Ryan Rodgers, gaming diva.

She and I fuck with each other on that level.

Really?

Yeah.

I love that.

But she plays WoW.

She's still a WoW girl.

I play its rival, it's competitor, Final Fantasy 14.

And I get her.

You know what I mean?

It's like I could spend a whole, it's not that we're depressed.

It's that we could spend a whole day in indoors playing these games, building community through crafting and through, through, you know, battle.

I dream of a day.

It is a dream for me to think of you, my sister, and my actual blood sister to play together the same game.

I wonder if there's ever a way we can bridge this gap and find a game that we both love playing.

I think Mario Party is already there.

It's right in front of us.

And wow, that's so crazy if you can live play Mario Party.

What happens if like the classic thing happens of like, you know, some, or do you speak to people?

No.

You can speak to people.

There's

the Switch app where you can do game chat

and you chat through the app.

It's actually kind of incredible technology.

And we're, we're, we are recording this days before the Switch 2 launch.

Huge moment in gaming history, personally for me.

What makes this so momentous?

It's just a really big deal to have an open world Mario Kart.

We've had our first new Mario Kart game, truly new Mario Kart game in, I would say,

over a decade.

Since whenever the Wii U...

No, yeah.

Since whenever the Wii U version came out, Mario Kart 8.

So it's just been a while.

It's been a long time since we've had a new Mario Kart.

And you, I know you love Mario Kart.

I love Mario Kart.

I mean, my thing is I just like when everything was a little bit simpler.

It's it's okay.

It's it's not that it's not simpler.

It's not that it's it's just

more needs to happen.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

What do you mean more needs to happen?

I'm saying in the time that's passed since you thought games were simpler, like games have had to soup themselves up more in the industry as a way of pushing the genre forward.

I mean, I was, I was truly one of those kids that was like super Mario.

Like I was playing the

original games.

Yeah.

Like the first time Donkey Kong even stepped onto the stage.

So do you know who Donkey Kong, who was the woman that Donkey Kong

Predator had kidnapped?

Do you know who that woman is?

Who is she?

People think it's Peach.

It's Pauline.

And she is now the mayor, the county mayor.

Oh, that's Pauline.

And lounge singer of New Donk City.

But she is, it's a throwback to the original Donkey Kong where the raven-haired woman who was, who was kidnapped by Donkey Kong was Pauline.

I have always wondered who she was because you play as Pauline often.

I love Pauline.

There is a Pauline

hive.

Yeah, I think I'm in it, but you know, I always play with Rosalina.

You actually would love Super Mario Galaxy where you learn of this mystery and the story of Rosalina.

See, can I say something, though?

Something about Rosalina is losing me a little bit.

You can't just be like, I stand Rosalina, but wait.

Okay, fine.

No, no, no.

I actually can.

First of all, she's fictional.

So I'm actually going to tear her limb from limb because I'm not hurting anyone.

I don't love that she fly.

I kind of don't get the flying thing.

I guess this is why I need to watch.

This is why you need to play the game.

Galaxy.

Is that what it's called?

Yes.

Galaxy.

And I did say that that was one of my favorite words.

The title of this episode is Galaxy.

It's Galaxy.

I love when something is galactic or in a galaxy.

There is an ASM artist by the name of Judo Spring.

Some would call her the mother of ASMR.

Oh my God, some would.

And she

is a Russian icon.

She actually has an insane story.

She was absolutely the victim of a human trafficking scheme.

Oh my God.

That is part of her story of coming to America.

And she shares it in harrowing detail on her other blog, her lifestyle blog, Sassy Masha.

Yes, Sassy Masha.

So she, she kind of like puts on a Russian accent in her ASMR videos because it does tickle your brain.

And she's consciously doing it because like she chops up her grammar a little bit, I think, because she just knows that it like she knows what buttons to push.

So at one point she's doing, she does a Target haul.

This is years ago.

And she does a Target haul and she went for a back to school haul and she is whispering and then she brings out this like a space themed notebook.

And then she says the words.

And this book has the theme of galaxy.

And it makes I think of that anytime you've brought up the word galaxy because it's the this book has the theme of galaxy is such a beautiful sentence, wouldn't you say?

This book has the theme of galaxy.

This episode has the theme of galaxy.

What is your favorite galaxy?

Andromeda,

really?

Yeah,

what's yours?

Naboo,

girl, that's a a planet.

Dang.

Dang.

Dang, girl.

You got a

Star Wars galaxy.

A galaxy far more away.

Well, if you haven't seen Platonic on Apple TV Plus, you need to add it to yours now.

Andor is huge in the Star Wars community and beyond.

They can't believe how good Andor is.

But sure they can.

They love Star Wars.

No, we're just living in different.

We're living separately, me and the porg right now.

We're living separately.

We're living.

Oh, interesting.

I would say that they really freaked it with the porg design.

Everyone saw the porg and was like, damn, that's cute.

That was one of the most winning elements of that film, I would say.

Last Jedi.

Yes.

The porg was a great invention.

And I believe earns the film sort of, it falls into the positive category.

I love that movie anyway.

Anyone that's disputing The Last Jedi, remember that it was the Porgs and kind of get a grip.

Get a grip.

Also, if you hate Last Jedi,

then you deserve to watch all of the Knives Out films.

two weeks after the general public.

Yeah.

You don't get Ryan Johnson, okay?

You really,

you fucked up.

You will be on the wrong side of history.

And can I say, just to compliment Gracie's dad, I am out here.

I have always loved Rise of Skywalker because, but apparently people really don't like that.

I love all of them.

What I loved about Rise of Skywalker was it felt like it was the campiest one.

Like when they, when they kissed,

bitch, I screamed.

And I was like that.

So gaggy.

I will, I'll never forget sitting there being like, there's no way they'll kiss.

Oh my God, they kissed.

I loved it.

It came out of nowhere, but also, of course.

Loved it.

I love kissing and then dying.

A little fall of raincoated.

A little fall of raincoated.

A song I sometimes will listen to out of nowhere.

Like I could be having a wonderful summer day.

Like I could be walking along the streets listening to, let's call it up tempo pop music.

You know, my spirits are up.

And then something will happen to me.

Like some part of my brain, like some synapse will fire.

And I know I'll have to listen to a little fall of rain.

That is your

that's a beautiful thing for you to return to.

Sorry, I'm I just got off a plane.

I'm so tired.

I'm back.

I'm back.

I'm back to T-Word.

I'm saying tired again.

It's reclaim it.

Reclaim it.

Honestly, when it's the truth, it's the truth.

I can't believe that.

Can I just ask you something?

Yeah.

So did you fly back to New York to get your Switch?

I flew back to New york because originally

i was supposed to come back yesterday and i was supposed to leave thursday night or the next day on friday because i had something booked this week but then those things fell off but i did want to get my switch too in case i could intercept it it's so worth it so ultimately i could have sent you the switch no you could have told me because you didn't have to fly all the way back here to get the switch i literally flew all the way back here to be in my own damn home because I have not really been here the last two weeks.

You want to be in your space, yeah, 100%.

I love loving my home that much, isn't that nice?

I wish you could see everyone.

This is my bed, and those are my things.

Like, you sing a ballad around your house.

Oh, wow.

I'm going to start writing that.

It's just about being my room.

This is my room.

These are my things.

I think it could be huge, actually.

That is our generation's, look at this photograph.

Yeah.

Look at this photograph.

We haven't had a song that reminds us all we're living in a time.

We haven't had that.

And we also haven't had a song in a while that is basically expressing the idea.

Look at this.

This is my room.

This is my room.

These are my things.

I don't know why it gets harder every

higher every now and then.

You and Patty Harrison need to duet in that.

I am always saying saying we need to duet we need we really need a night of cabaret

oh what an idea call it maddie maddie m-a-t-t-i i like it maddie rogerson maddie rogerson oh wow that's really the power couple we've always needed is me and patty period imagine we stunned in a new photo leaving like via karada yeah

I see it, don't you?

I wonder how many times we'd have to walk in and out of a car before someone would take a picture of us and say that we stun going into Via Carrada.

Like how many times going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth?

I think everyone hires their own pats.

It doesn't matter.

You know what?

Charlie said, everyone else followed it constantly.

She did.

She did say that.

We called out all the girls.

Oh, wait, no, that's not in the remix, is it?

No, I think that's on the regular version of

um

wait a minute as of this episode release you can go to the artist presale for the culture awards wow

uh use the ticket code cult c-u-l-t-c-h

we have to actually make sure that we etch in stone something which is that the trophy itself is called the cult the cult and we just want to make sure that people know that like the emmy the oscar the Tony, like you can actually think about like that physical object and say, those are those things.

The same applies here.

When you see that bronzed West Dome doorstop over that like cylindrical gold,

over that cylindrical base.

That is the culture.

Yes.

But I guess you would not call the program the cults.

No, no, this is the last culture culture awards to LCCAs.

You can win a culture there.

Yeah.

I like that for us.

Yeah.

I like that the statue has its own identity, its own name, its own way of being referenced separately.

Yes.

Do you think in the third, like say not next year, but maybe the year after, we suddenly reveal that the cult has eyes?

Oh my God.

And we slowly reveal over time that the cult isn't like anthropomorphic thing and actually has an inner life.

And by the time we're done with the culture awards, it's like a fully realized Oscar worthy character.

I love that.

I think the cult should absolutely, I think, just come to life in some way.

But that's what you mean by the cult has eyes.

It doesn't have to have like eyes.

I think every year we need to show a little bit more about the culture's personality.

Interesting.

To make it by the end, a franchise.

I'm always thinking in terms of how to make us more money, Bowen.

Yeah.

I love that.

I am always constantly have my eye on franchising.

This Empire.

Let's make the culture a character.

Write the film, sell that shit to, I don't know, whoever's gonna beg for it the hardest, Disney.

Right, right.

Ride this to the moon, babe.

I will say, I know you're doing a bit, but it's like, I'm seeing our girl Paige DeSorber out here selling like big t-shirts for sleep or something.

And I go, we would never, we could never do that, could we?

Like, and I'm saying, like, this is like highest praise and compliments to the sky for the, for like the entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurs who are like putting pushing product mm-hmm I don't think you and I could like have like

a prime drink we don't we can't we can't like speak for yourself okay

speak for yourself because I sell I sell big bro and little bro like tank tops you know that's great it's that is merch which is different from let me sell you an i don't

product line something with function you know yeah i don't think you and i are a lifestyle home brand i don't i don't I don't think you and I are glassware.

I don't think you and I are big plate.

I don't think you and I are serving spoon.

I think you and I are experiences and indulgences.

We are only going to make our money from using our voices and what we produce with our voice, much like Taylor Swift.

I'm trying to think if we could have something,

maybe we would do like a gum.

If we did Matt and Bowen gum.

That's actually really good.

Can I say that actually might be a good idea?

Like, are you chewing Matt and Bowen?

We should do chewing gum.

Chewing, like chewing out.

That would actually also be really fun

to taste test.

Got to go, what's work today?

We have to go try all the gum.

That's really good.

What would our gum taste like, you think?

This is, again, something now we have to agree on.

I think

what?

I had an idea.

Okay.

It's two different flavors.

It's split in half.

That's really good.

What are those flavors, though?

We have to think about this.

Like coconut lime.

Coconut lime.

I love that.

You know, like, just like just your standard sort of like duos, your iconic duos.

Strawberry, banana.

Or you think there's a whole bunch of different flavors.

Yeah.

Oh, well, I mean, we can start with, we can start with a very specific one.

What do you think is our flagship flavor?

I think you're like minty fresh.

Like broad appeal.

And I am what?

That's.

I've never had something kinder said to me that my gum brand is mass appeal.

Thank you.

Now you are one of the most massively appealing girls.

What gum are you?

I am

a touch of cream.

You know, mint and cream.

A touch of cream.

There was so much joy coming off of your face when you said that.

You threw your little gaze to the side and you were like, a touch of cream.

A touch of cream.

I think you are a touch of cream.

Yeah, I think so.

I had no idea that we were going to create this business today.

Is it called something?

Like, is it, what's the name of our gum brand?

Friendship.

Friendship gum.

Friendship gum.

What brings people together?

I'm

dead ass.

Gum.

More than gum.

Nothing.

All right.

So we're going to get started on this.

On friendship gum.

Friendship Gum is actually...

Matt and Bowen's Friendship Gum is, oh my God.

Yeah, that's going to be huge.

Thank you, Paige to Sorbo, by the way, for inspiring us.

Because I knew we were way more Paige than we were giving ourselves credit for.

Sure.

Hey, everyone.

We know many of you probably have a watch list with all the streaming shows you want to see.

Well, if you haven't seen Platonic on Apple TV Plus, you need to add it to yours now.

It's hilarious.

Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne play a pair of platonic besties like Matt and I, who are as likely to cause trouble for each other as they are to support each other.

If you have seen it, you already know that.

But you might not know that season two of Platonic is out now.

This season, Rogan and Byrne deal with uncomfortably hilarious midlife hurdles, including new business ventures, weddings, and partners in crises.

And as best friends do, they try to help each other, but sometimes just make things worse.

These two are just so funny together.

I love them.

Luke McFarlane and Carla Gallo are are so back this season alongside new guest stars, including some seriously funny SNL alums, A.D.

Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett, and the fabulous Milo Mannheim.

If you haven't seen season one, catch up immediately.

And if you have, second season of Platonic is now streaming on Apple TV Plus.

Don't miss it.

By the way, how should I start Summerhouse?

Because I'm not super familiar with that universe.

Do I start from the beginning?

But it seems like it's a different show entirely in its early season.

I'm not really the best person to ask because I very much just like join.

Yeah, Esther, because I've just joined Summer House in Progress.

Oh.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Anna says season three.

All right.

Love.

Producer Anna says start season three.

Okay.

Because that's when I'm going to be.

Because that is when Paige comes in.

God, she really is that girl.

So you would say, Anna, that Paige is the unequivocal best thing about the show?

I would agree.

Yes, she says yes.

Okay.

I mean, she's a star.

Like, what can we say?

Definitely, like, there is a serotonin hit that happens when she comes onto onto screens.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, I'm going to say there's like an, there's like a Hepburn quality there.

Audrey, I should say.

Yeah.

I mean, there's a little star quality in there.

A lot of star quality.

A little, I mean, a lot.

Yeah.

I mean, no, no, I don't mean that.

I mean, I get it.

I mean, I think that we are, I mean, I was calling them the Jackie O and JFK.

The Kennedys of Bravo.

And then, yeah.

And then what, and then look what happens.

In being forced to pick a side, as we all are, whenever there is any breakup.

And now she's, she's finding her Aristotle Onassis, as it were.

He could be anywhere.

God, isn't it?

I still can't get over that Aristotle Onassis.

Well, fucking

Jackie's sister.

Can I?

And then going, just kidding, I'm marrying her.

Sorry, go.

No, these people

politicians are so sick.

They're so sick.

I actually think I would entertain again watching like a, well, I guess you know what?

This is the diplomat.

I have to start with the diplomat because I was just saying that too.

I was saying I'm interested for the first time in a while again in like a like a DC

political thriller.

And apparently the diplomat is really good.

And I've got my girl in it.

Carrie

and Allison.

Who came together at S to SNL with Kristen?

It was a real real diplomat sort of like

trio.

And I was like, you powerful.

You girls go off.

So, you know what?

I actually thought today for some reason, because I presented last night at the Gotham Awards and I was thinking about presenting.

And I remember one of the best, like, presenting Maya and Kristen.

No, it was Carrie Russell and Ray Romano did a bit a few years ago at the Golden Globes, and they had perfect chemistry.

And I was like, that's hard because when you're up there doing the presenting thing, you can't really hear.

Right.

It's really hard.

Yeah, it's, it's, it's like, um,

it's a little dance you do.

It's a little dance you do but i'm sure you pulled it off with the plom

oh i acquitted myself it was really fun it was a really fun um evening like i like the gotham awards that they it's all new series so that's like the theme there it's just like you know the things nominated are all in first year series and the little boy from adolescence one and they were just showing clips from adolescence and i was like dear god i was having a heart attack even sitting there watching like the touch clips yeah i know and then

it was just, it was just crazy.

But like, I'm like, yeah, that should win.

I'm sitting there and I'm like, for sure, the way I feel right now, give it that.

Oh, give it that.

Totally, totally.

Well, oh, just to get us quickly back on track, there might be some confusion about what the taping is.

So the special taping is versus the show.

So we are, it's not going to be live, unfortunately, for now.

Or not even unfortunately.

I think fortunately, it's, we, we have some time to work out the kinks because this is our first time doing this this way.

And we are taping the show on July 17th at the Orpheum in Los Angeles.

And then on August 5th, it will be on Bravo at 9 p.m.

Eastern and Pacific.

And then the next day will be on Peacock.

So that is the brass tacks.

Go for the tickets now.

Use the code word cult.

And then you come in LA July 17th.

It's on Bravo.

August 5th, the next day, Peacock.

Hopefully immediately.

I think so.

I think they, it's your standard eight hours or six hours from when it airs.

Did you see the Survivor 50 cast?

I did.

What do you think?

I think

kind of crazy to bring Kyle back.

Kind of nuts.

Yeah, I'm happy for Camilla.

I am curious to see if Joe switches up his gameplay or

actually like plays the game at all.

I love, I love Joe.

I am

all back from season 48, by the way.

All back from season 48.

For those of you casually, casually following the news of Survivor 50.

And there's two yet to be determined, yet to be

season 49.

Okay, got it.

This just reaffirms the idea that I have to actually watch the Mike White season.

Oh, we started it the day after you left in the Pines.

Aaron and I watched the first episode of season 37, David versus Goliath, which is the season Mike White initially competes on.

It is a really fun watch.

And they also brought back Angelina from that season, who's such a blast.

And this guy, Christian, that was a really good season where multiple people should be brought back.

Season 48, I don't get bringing anyone back besides Camilla to become a match.

We've literally seen him win.

Kyle and Joe just played.

And I feel like we get Joe.

Yeah.

I was so shocked by a lot of the new era choices.

But when you think about the old era, like, yeah,

I'll miss some people, but I was watching Jeff Propes, like, actually announce the nominees and he did the whole thing of like reading them as, as if they were votes.

And I was like,

it was exciting to watch every name pop up as a longtime fan of the show.

I'll just miss Jerry.

Like, that's like a big time I don't think story for me that I'm going to do actually is I don't think somebody

why they didn't include Jerry Manthe on the season.

Thrilled for Sari.

Although I can't imagine lasts long.

No, and but I mean, I'd rather watch her than than not.

Like, people being like, Cere again, I'm like, what?

You don't want to watch Cere?

What if she does great?

Like, you never know.

No, I, I never, that is not a complaint that you should have about Cere, by the way.

There's no such thing as too much Cree on your television.

It's a very on-paper thing to react to Cere's casting like that.

It's like, oh, you see, she's done it a bunch.

Yeah, that's because she's always so much fun to watch.

She's incredible.

And so easy to root for because she's so good.

She's so good.

Ozzy, love.

I guess we're all disappointed about Carolyn, obviously.

We needed Carolyn.

Carolyn was like one of the only genuine stars of the 40s season.

I can't believe there was no Shan.

There was no Ricard.

There was no Carolyn.

There was no Jesse.

There was no Carla.

There was no Cassidy.

There was no, I mean, there were so many people that had narratives to go into this.

Yeah.

Yep.

Oh, there was other ones too.

We are so excited.

High.

I love High.

I I would have loved to have seen him.

But it's going to be great, but it's just like, oh, there were so many other, like almost all of the new era people I would have picked weren't in there.

And no one from the 20s.

No one from the 20s.

Abby Maria needed another chance anyway.

Big lines.

They're just scared of good TV.

Well, they don't put Abby Maria on Survivor.

It's just because sometimes, and this is just, I'm just going to pull the curtain back.

Sometimes the networks are scared to be too good.

They don't want us eating that well.

Right.

Because if you eat well, you get satiated, you need a break.

Like they need to, they don't want to give us Abby Maria because they know they would give us television that and we could walk away.

Right.

That you would, you would be feasting on Abby Maria.

We would eat so well.

Yeah.

I'm not familiar with her season.

I can't get over that.

Her name is Abby Maria.

She was basically a demon and played the game as one of the, like, she played like a chaos agent.

Like, she, she just like really

was unbearable on purpose as a strategy.

And she did well because a lot of those people are like, bring them to the end.

They're not going to win.

No one's going to vote for them.

But then in the back of your mind, you're like, but if they can argue it as a strategy, like I pretended to be the most unsavory person so they get all the reasons here.

Yeah.

It's kind of genius.

That's how I would play.

I've actually tried to play like that in the survivor quarantine.

Oh, right.

And it's look where it got you.

I mean, between Abby Maria and Trimmer.

And what I do love about Kyle and Camilla is I love when people go, Survivor is a performance.

Let's perform.

Yes, I love it.

I love acting on Survivor.

And Camilla was one of the greats.

Camilla was one actor.

And you know what?

I always look forward to the Bowen Yang Survivor contestant endorsement.

And this season, you did, you went to your story.

You posted a picture of Camilla and you said it's her.

I don't know that I'll have Sia is already like, I've hit between like you and Sia, like you are the celebrity ambassadors for that.

No.

But I do want to start a thing now where I pick out my favorites from each season of couples therapy.

I need to start.

I need to start.

And you know what I realized, Bo?

Like

we'd absolutely need Dr.

Orna on the podcast.

I think Dr.

Orna will be in the world, in the mix in some way, for sure.

100%.

She will come on soon, says producer Anna.

Okay, fine.

It's happening.

It's happening.

Earlier, I was looking at our calendar for June and I was like, I'm a little anxious.

And now I'm like, yeah, come on,

and soon.

And soon we hear her daughter is a reader.

So, oh, really?

This may be conjecture.

I've just heard through the grapevine.

Hello.

Hello, daughter.

Through the grapevine.

What is there to talk about?

I think we can keep this week short.

I don't know that there is much more to talk about.

So this might be a short one.

And let's just launch into I Don't Think So Honey.

Yeah.

So we've gotten a pre we've got a preview from both of ours.

I've explicitly said what mine is.

You have sort of like

kicking yourself in the air around.

This is I don't think so honey.

It's our 60-second segment where we take exactly that amount of time to rant, rail, and more against something in culture that needs some

put in its place.

And here we go.

I'm ready.

I'm ready for them.

Okay.

This is Mac Rogers.

I don't think so, honey.

It's time starts now.

I don't think so, honey, that you're not going to put Jerry Manthe on the season 50 of Survivor.

You're an idiot.

You guys are wacko.

And also, if you weren't going to put her on, why did she feel like she was close enough that that was her reaction on Instagram?

She's staring into the desert sky, sitting on a rock,

wordlessly processing.

And that is not how I want to see Jerry Manthe.

I want to see Jerry Manthe straddling like a crocodile in the Australian Outback.

And by crocodile, I don't mean her feelings and urges towards Kobe Donaldson.

And speaking of Kobe Donaldson, I'm not excited about him without Jerry.

How could you not take the opportunity to follow that narrative through of putting Jerry and Kobe together?

I know they tried in Heroes versus Villains, but you could have really seen it through.

That is one of the reasons initially why it was a television phenomenon because of those characters.

You had the reason to bring them back and you didn't, you fool.

You let her stare at the sky in the desert, upset and hurt.

I don't think so, honey.

That's one minute.

I mistakenly said she was on a beach in that video.

I apologize.

Oh, another thing.

Amanda, China.

Oh, okay.

So here's my thing with Amanda.

What happened there?

What happened there?

Because apparently she was going to do it.

And then all of a sudden Ozzie was on.

So she couldn't do it.

And my question is, why is that the case?

And I'm not, I don't want to make any like assumptions, but I'm like, why is it so weird that they can't do the show together if that's true?

Like, I don't like that.

Like, cause we wanted to see Amanda bad.

And like, I have a hard time like thinking that she would allow something like that to stop her from doing it unless it was like a thing.

But was she expressing publicly that she was going to do it?

What I heard was that they had locked her down.

I mean, this is all conjecture.

It's all conjecture.

But for some reason, the rumor has taken shape online that they had her for the show.

And then she was like made aware that Ozzie was doing it.

Again, I could be,

it's just conjecture, but for some reason, she wanted to drop out or something or didn't want to do it with Ozzie.

And now we have Ozzie and not Amanda.

When ideally, I would have loved to see them both, but both would have been.

I just, I don't love that, that that is the case if that happened.

Well, don't love.

Don't love.

I have something I don't love.

I know.

It's probably your, I don't think so, honey, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

So I'm reaching over for my phone.

I'm putting the screen on.

I'm getting up a little lap.

I'm pushing the button that put 60 seconds on the clock.

Are you ready?

I'm ready.

Bo and yangs.

I don't think so, honey.

Time starts.

Yeah.

I don't think so, honey.

Travel.

I don't want to leave my house.

Do I sound like I might be depressed?

Have Matt and I switched roles this year in our summer journeys?

It's possible.

No, I think I'm okay.

I think I'm just tired from all the travel that I've been doing.

And I, nothing sounds more appealing to me than to stay in.

And at this point in my life, if it's not Japan, Asia,

if I'm somewhere, if I'm in a city besides New York,

if you find me in a city besides New York that is not Japan in Japan, then I'm there against my will.

Then I'm there in

service of something else.

And I'm happy to be there for something.

15.

I think if I just had my drothers,

then the drothers would be in New York City.

Much like how Matt's Porg is in Los Angeles.

My drothers are here.

And I really, really

like to sit on my couch.

More to come in Matt's new single, This Is My Room.

And that's one minute.

This is my room.

I don't know why I'm singing it in this way.

For some reason, I just feel this.

It doesn't matter.

This is my room.

I feel like I need to give it gut, you know, because I feel like it really goes to a place.

Listen, Bo, here's what I think we're going to do.

We're going to take things off the schedule for you.

I would be willing to sit with you and go through the calendar and we'll look at the times when you're traveling and we can find ways to A, get out of it, B, take it off the schedules and more.

You don't have to do any of that.

Yes, because someone's got to do it.

You need like someone, like, for example, Melissa.

came over here and looked at my closet and just having someone else literally with me going through every piece of clothes like and be like no yes no never

oh my god what even is this why is it taking up space you need that

for your you need that for your schedule i think i really think you do i think you need an outside yeah person to look at your things

well this has been a short and sweet

to quote sabrina carpenter album episode oh my gosh she's coming out with new music like by the end of this week Man Child.

Manchild.

Oh, I hope she really hurts someone back because clearly someone hurt her.

I just hope she hurts them back.

And she will.

She always has her way.

We support her.

It's not that I hope she hurts them back.

It's that I hope she expresses herself.

Yes, yes.

In a cathartic way.

And if someone else's feelings are hurt by it, whatever.

That's art.

That's pop art.

That's cause and effect, babe.

We are living, loving,

and

expressing gratitude.

It's all the readers, Casey, Publicist, Finalist, and Kyle's, and more.

We end every episode with a song.

Look at this photograph.

To listen to that, you got to listen to Nickelback.

Sorry.

I know, I know.

No, it must have been a funny funny photo.

What do you think was in the photo?

It's hilarious pic, by the way.

Probably a meme.

I actually literally do see in my mind's eye what was in that photo.

And it is guys for some reason.

They're sitting in a driveway.

They're standing around.

It's like right by a driveway.

They're standing at like a, it's in the front yard.

It's by a driveway.

And there's a, like a beer pong table.

And in the back, you see a trampoline.

And it's a bunch of guys with their arms around each other, like probably five, six guys all arranged around this beer pong table.

And in the back, you see a trampoline.

I don't know why, but that is the picture in my mind's eye when I was like, look at this photograph.

Like, sort of like, take me back to God's country, you know?

No, I understand take me back to God's country.

I don't totally understand.

Every time I look at this photo, it makes me laugh, but it's not, it doesn't sound like a funny photo.

Well, Bowen, you don't even know how funny the people in the photo were.

Maybe the guys in the picture, while maybe it's not a funny photo, it's just he's the one who's one of the funny people.

Mitch Hedberg.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

Like, if you look at a photo of...

And Mitch Hedberg is in it, and I gotta laugh.

You're like, you're like, every time this makes me laugh.

You know what I'm saying?

Totally.

Okay, bye.

Look at this photo right there.

Bye.
