"REMEMBER MY SOUND" (w/ Matt + Bowen)

This is an iHeart podcast.

We're here to tell you at Searchlight Pictures' new movie, The Roses.

Perfect Couple, Ivy, played by Olivia Coleman, and Theo Rose, played by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Have it all.

Successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids.

But when Theo's career comes crashing down, just as Ivy's fame starts to skyrocket, a tinderbox of fierce competition and growing resentment ignites, threatening to destroy everything they've built if they don't destroy each other first.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Coleman, Andy Sandberg, Allison Janey, Belinda Bromolo, Sunitamani, Chuti Gatua, Jamie Dimitrio, Zoe Chow, and Kate McKinnon, from the director of Meet the Parents, Jay Roach, and the writer of Poor Things, Tony McNamara.

In theaters everywhere, August 29th.

Get tickets now.

There's my at-home voice and my podcast voice.

My podcast voice is like a leveled up version of me, kind of like the new DiGiorno wood-fired style crust pizza.

With a leveled up, crispy, yet perfectly airy crust.

Now that Dijorno has new wood-fired style style crust pizzas, I might start doing the show from home.

DiGiorno is dropping a new crust in four topping varieties.

Premium pepperoni, supreme speciale, Italian meat trio, and four cheese.

I'll have all four.

You've never had pizza like this at home.

It's restaurant quality pizza without all the other restaurant stuff.

The new DiGiorno Wood-Fired style crust pizza.

It's not delivery.

It's DiGiorno.

JBL Tor Pro 3 earbuds are for those who don't conform to the standard.

Yeah, I mean, if you want to get into some touchscreen technology, how about the smart charging case, clear sound?

These are not standard things.

You're only going to get them with a JBL Tor Pro 3 baby.

And I love the sound of JBL when it goes, ooh, boo.

These earbuds are packed with innovation because you can't stand out by following others.

Touch screen smart charging case for one touch control, instant EQ customization, true adaptive noise canceling, and the one-of-a-kind audio transmitter, which can plug and play with everything from game consoles to in-flight entertainment.

What more could you want?

Verse doesn't follow.

Grab a pair at jbl.com.

Look, man.

Oh, I see.

My IOI.

Bowen, look over there.

Wow, is that culture?

Yes.

Goodness.

Wow.

Las cultoristas.

Ding dung.

Las cultoristas calling.

Oh my god.

Take two.

Take two.

So what people will never know is that this is some BTS.

We had to do it again.

We had to take the intro again, but one had some adjustments to make.

You keep me and the listeners honest.

Well, we were saying this is rarefied air.

We were back on our tech shit.

On our tech shit, which is challenging me.

I don't know if it's because I had to buy a new podcast mic at an Argos, which is a British chain of, I guess, like electronic stores.

It's like, um, gosh, it's a step below a best buy, but it's above.

I hate it already.

Can I say I went into a best buy recently?

What did it give?

No.

All my love to best buy because I have been public in the past about my coming of age at best buys.

Yes.

And I don't want to mourn, you know.

Something's still here.

Some well, I don't want to mourn something that is like literally a corporate chain.

Well, of course.

There's no sentimentality there.

And I don't want to forgive.

No, this is a human moment of you just

remembering Best Buy as it was.

You're allowed to grieve.

Best Buy was flop.

Best Buy was flop in the last week that I went.

What exactly happened?

And let's keep the service out of it.

Let's not say anyone did a bad job, but what was it at Best Buy?

Was not a service issue.

It was

floor plan layout issue.

And I know this really gets to you.

Do you know what I mean?

It's like, get in line.

Okay, sure.

Where is that?

Where is that?

Over there.

Over there.

I go to where the person points.

I don't see any kind of stanchion or indicator that this is where the, like, you were at C.

You really care about this too.

This is cube experience.

This is all about sort of crowd control and efficiency in terms of like moving people.

This is one of society's great challenges and puzzles that constantly sort of reinvents itself.

And we have not caught up to the solution.

No, if we can't figure this out, we're going to need congestion pricing for walking around.

And I don't think anyone wants that.

We're going to have to say, you want to get in here to this Best Buy?

60 cents.

60 cents.

A cover?

It's just, it's congestion pricing, Bo.

We need less people in there.

So 60 cents to get into the Best Buy.

You attacks.

Would be attacks on foot.

Attacks on feet.

Can you imagine, Bo?

My God.

That's Tyler Vepp, attacks on feet.

Attacks on feet.

Can I tell you, you're speaking of orienting yourself?

That's really what this is about you are trying to orient and i am literally in my new space orienting so this is the first ever lost culture recording from my apartment uh-huh and i literally was looking around just now and i said i can't wait for bowen and i to join in hands here and be tactile and record an episode of lost cult from here my new home How are you feeling?

First of all, let's just say Matt Rogers, what?

Homeowner.

Oh, I joined my sister.

Congratulations.

Honestly, yeah, thank you.

It feels, it feels really nice.

And it's in an area I always, if you had told me in college, like, oh, you'll get an apartment there, I'd been like, fuck off.

There's no way.

So I'm like loving the area I'm in.

Out of anybody I know, you are living the Carrie Bradshaw, Serena Vander Woodson fantasy.

Like New York girl.

Honey,

listen, those are some big shoes to fill.

Okay.

So I don't take that lightly at all.

Both my neighbors are vibes.

Both my new vapors are like vapors i said guys i said there's a little reefer in my new apartment so understand that's where we're at both my neighbors with an n

are vibes i love i love vapors vapors my vibey neighbors my vapors wait what's what's the vibe just what

something good

something rare

okay so the vibe is they're both

straight but horny little vibes in their own way and i am doing this asmr style because i actually literally don't know if they can hear me clear as a bell or not, Bo.

I swear to God.

So I will be on the conservative side in terms of how much I give vocally.

Okay.

Okay.

To my right, my neighbor to my right, like 60 years old, always walking around either shirtless or with a crisp white crewneck tee.

So like, like must be bleaching the shit out of what I would have.

Imagine our 20 white tees in there.

It's one or the other uniform, white, curly hair, a vibe.

Today he says to me, I'm having an amazing day.

I worked out and I got a juice.

Perfect day.

And I'm like, sir.

Is this a portal into the future?

You like him.

To say I like him would be an understatement.

I'm interested.

So then to my left, we have this other gentleman, much younger, young professional.

Black hair.

Is it too long?

Maybe, but he's wearing it.

He's rocking it.

I know he's a vibe because the other day Melissa came here to visit me and she looks at the elevator and he's chatting her up.

And that's when I say, Hi, I live here now.

This is my friend Melissa.

He's like, oh, we met.

I have to come over and bring you a cup of sugar.

I say, sir, get your cup, fill it to the brim with sugar and get on over here.

I'm interested.

My neighbors are vapors.

They're vibey neighbors.

How do you know straight?

How do you know straight?

I don't think my gay dar is good.

I think my straight dar is perfect does that make sense yes but

sometimes it's horseshoe theory and that the radar it just it just loops it just loops to to gay this could be the start of something

good something rare wow oh my god it's amazing that lost culture has a new single something good

something rare

is this just did i somehow write the song from the new wicked for good Oh, are you implying that you are working on the project?

Because it's possible.

What if I heavily implicated that again and again and again for months?

And then everyone found out it wasn't true.

Not even a thing.

No one ever even asked me.

Like, but, but I was here and I was like, there might be something coming with Wicked for Good, maybe a song that I wrote and then it never happened.

That would be something good, something great.

This is, this is the thing.

Why can't the rumor mail ever work in our favor?

How come?

You know what I mean?

It's never like, oh, did you hear about Boen Yang's Oscar buzz for the new?

Like, it's never

for overcompensating.

He's up for an Oscar.

By the way, you ran it up to Ben.

Oh, my God.

Congrats to everyone

who's involved with overcompensating.

Wow, wow.

That's so fun to see it take off like that.

And also, that was a really fun, good day.

Great vibes.

It could not happen.

to a nicer, cooler, funnier, more giving person than Benito.

Yeah.

And shout out to Desiree Acavan, who directed our episode and directed many of the episodes.

It was a fun, great day in Toronto, a city I love.

Period.

Oh, see, that's where you go to sort of Toronto is where you go to breathe again.

Shall we to Toronto soon?

It'll be the only place to breathe soon.

My girl, sorry to flaunt our real estate selves, but the only place I'm looking, I'm not looking at vacation homes or beach homes or, you know, Pied a terrestrial's anywhere else.

I, the next place I am thinking about is somewhere in Ontario because that is the safest place from, sorry, climate disaster.

And we have to bring it up on the podcast.

In the words of Camille, now we said it.

Now we said it.

And I, and I say that with the most serious voice I have used on this podcast ever.

You know what I'm thinking about?

We said it.

I was thinking about Kyle, one of the few Kyle Richards moments that I love.

Such a fucking liar, Emil.

Can I tell you something?

Don't be disrespectful towards Kyle.

And

you've been heavily sort of leaning on it with Kyle over the past few episodes.

And just because we've had guests, I haven't been able to clock you.

Because you know what?

You're nasty towards Kyle.

And Kyle is me when I look in the mirror.

Can I tell you something?

No, you're so much better than Kyle.

You're Renna.

I love you, Lord.

I love you, Lord.

And I take that from you graciously.

But let me just say something.

But why the quarrel?

Why this quarrel?

Why the quarrel?

You listen, Kyle might be going through a rough couple seasons, but there have been high highs with Kyle.

We are all Kyle, and every word of that sentence is capitalized when you write it out later.

It's actually rule of culture number six.

We are all

Kyle.

Every word of that sentence is capitalized.

Yes.

And I'm just saying, like, just because Kyle, you know, gets that mealy mouth thing that you did the impression of on the podcast, and she talks like this when she's crying.

It's come on.

It's kind of iconic.

She's so like.

She's such a little stamp.

You see, for lack of a better word.

Oh, you're nasty, bow.

Oh, shush.

Oh, you shush.

So angry, man.

You are.

You are.

Wait, what were we talking about that we started this?

I'm so sorry.

Toronto.

Toronto.

Climate change.

Climate change.

Climate change.

Oh, yeah.

Climate change.

Wait.

So why is it the safest?

Safe from earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, like fires.

Who

says the maps says the map overlays on North America, the coasts are going to be like underwater,

the middle of the country, and

a lot of fire hazard, tornado risks in the middle of the country, earthquakes in the mountainous areas.

Like Ontario is safe and it's safe people.

You're saying that neither the Republicans or the Democrats are going to save us?

Hopefully,

hopefully one of them rises up by the name of to say it, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

I love that girl.

My girl.

President Green.

President Greene.

Girl.

Cut this out.

Cut this out.

Hold on.

Cut that out.

I would love if they were like, wow, in a shocking move, Lost Coach endorses Marjorie Taylor Greene far ahead of the 2028 race.

That is how dumb some of the like coverage has been out there.

Like, it's what you do.

So, like, I'm watching so much of it right now because of this Biden book.

Like, I'm back on watching the news again.

No, man, it's a bad movie.

No, I'm just like, it's just wild because, well, the whole, it's a rabbit hole.

I don't really want to get into, but, like, some of the media coverage, I'm just like, wow.

How can we watch anything now when then it wasn't truthful okay anyway this i this could be a worm are you about to i don't think so honey drake tapper it's not i don't think so honey drake tapper because i think that probably what's in that i believe everything in that book i believe everything in it But it's just like laughable to me that it comes from him, who was a part of being like, that's ridiculous about it.

I don't know if he's taken accountability for that.

Maybe he has, maybe he hasn't.

It's just like when I hear it's coming from him, that's my immediate response.

response is like really because last i checked it was no big deal how old he was for years coming from y'all so it's just like i don't know i don't know

well tough stuff

tough stuff are you is this about is this going to be a weed forward summer for you because i need to pick one thing and stick with it i go on that long tirade about like you know it's it's interesting right like me about the media like i sound so fucking stupid And you just go, no, no, and you just go, so it's going to be a weeds forward summer for you, huh?

No, you're 100% right.

It's so sad.

I'm, I'm, I'm really ostrich mode over here, like head in the sand.

And like, I don't know what else to do.

What do you mean about like all of it?

It's talking to people at work and

this one writer, I won't say his name, not that this is like.

you know damning or anything but he has this professor in college who like up until very recently has been like everybody like stop freaking out over ai like it's not there's something about the human touch and the human sort of like layer on things that like humanity will like abide by and like we will seek out as a culture and a society.

And then something, something turned recently.

I don't know what it was, but then this writer said that this professor is finally now like writing articles where he's like, I get no joy from eating meals or talking to my children anymore because we're doomed.

Jesus.

And then you're too, no and we can't be having this conversation because you're stoned no no no we literally can I have to tell you something and I and I also don't know anything I cannot substantiate any of what I'm saying with like actual with in-depth knowledge I maybe it's just that I'm getting older or that this stuff is becoming so much more common now like the quote-unquote end of the world talk it used to terrify me the concept of like the apocalypse like nuclear war like i remember when i was a kid you ever have those like irrational fears when you're a kid like a lot of kids are obsessed with death my thing for a little little bit of a time there, and I honestly think it was around like the Iraq war when they started to say weapons of mass destruction.

I became so obsessed with that idea that I would actually be low grade depressed.

Like now though, maybe it's just, like I said, getting older.

It's just that this stuff is kind of like piecemealed or not piecemeal, but like very everyday to talk about.

It doesn't bother me.

I had my friend send me that book, Nuclear War.

Yeah, Chloe, my friend sent it to me.

And I was just like, yeah, just send it to me and now it's i got home one day i looked down i saw it the words nuclear war in my home and i was kind of unfazed and i was like well i've come a long way this doesn't terrify me the thought of it anymore whether that's good or bad i don't know but like i'm willing to engage in the idea of course for some reason but this is the thing being a prepper is a choice a hundred right is it the right choice here's but

yes this is what i'm asking like i don't know what what choice i'm gonna make or i'm make.

Do you have a go bag of any kind?

No.

Me neither.

And I think we know people that do.

Yes, we do.

We certainly do.

And I think we've

do we should we start being those people?

Should we be

we need to we need to talk to your friend, to our friend, Chloe,

because we love her.

Yeah.

A vaber.

If we ever have,

if this person was my neighbor, it would be a vaber, the house.

She would be such a, she is such a vapor.

She is, I love everything about Chloe.

No, an icon, a walking icon, a walking icon.

When I found out that she was a prepper, I went, well, now I should start taking this seriously.

My version of prepping is getting a house in Ontario for my friends.

You know, you always are being like, guys, let's get a house.

I know.

What's with that?

Because someone has to be the person that's like, we're going on vacation.

Somebody has to.

Somebody has to be the person that's like, ultimately, in a group of friends, you do need those people that are proactive.

I've tried to become one over the past couple of years, partly because I don't want you soldiering all of it, because I noticed that you do do a lot of it.

You're so kind to me.

You are.

I try to be.

Wait, are you going to Fire Island this weekend or no?

I'm going to go.

I'm going to, I fly back in Friday morning and I might, I have to like take a passport photo and then I'm going to maybe catch the night ferry in and then leave Saturday night.

Okay, let me know.

I'll be there.

Is Friday Night Underwear Party?

We should know this.

Friday Night is Underwear Party.

It's just famously, it's Saturday night in the Fire Island film because that's what it needed to be for the script.

And that is what we call movie magic.

And sometimes you need to make things a little different than you guys than real life.

Okay.

Also, I'm going to gag you.

That wasn't even the real Ice Palace.

Movie magic.

Movie magic.

It was on a soundstage in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

Wow.

Wow.

Listen, here's the thing, too, about us being around at Fire Island.

You know what I'm having this summer?

What?

Say hi, summer.

Let's say hi.

I'm interested.

You know, this is the first time in like two years I'm not like depressed.

And so I'm always happy.

I'm just like a fun summer.

Yeah.

Matt, it never, and I'm not saying that like your, your moments of depression in the summer.

were nonsensical.

I just, to me, it never made sense that you hated summer so much.

I understood it, but it didn't make sense.

Does that, does that, does that, does that make sense?

Yep.

It's just to quote our friend Celeste M.

I don't,

I do believe what you were saying.

I believe you're telling the truth, but I don't believe what you're saying is saying that it's true.

Yeah, no, I think, I think that I was just like, and I, here's the thing: like, when you're depressed, it's just no, of course.

You're looking for a reason to opt out of things.

And so I just was.

So, this is the first summer I've had in like two years where I'm not going to be depressed.

And I'm very excited about it.

And I can't believe it was like a year ago around now.

I was crying on this podcast about my social anxiety.

Damn.

I feel so turned around and happy.

Like I love excited to have a good summer.

Let's have a good one.

But also if it doesn't end up being a good one for whatever reason, if you have a career, it's okay.

I'm not setting any bars.

I'm just saying with my intention is to like have a fun this summer and not be, you know, just not be a drag.

No, and it's okay to be a drag.

And if you're out there right now, Readers, Katie's, Kyle's Publicist Finalist, and you're a drag, that's okay.

Yeah.

But also if you are the drag, no, it's okay to go home.

You know what I mean?

You don't need to, like, I feel like we were on one vacation in particular last summer and I

hit a drag wall and I wish I had just gone home.

Honestly, I wish for everyone's sake, I had just gone home.

And it wouldn't have been a thing of like, oh, he bailed on the vacation.

But I just think in thinking about everyone else's energy, like it's okay to sometimes to just take yourself out of stuff.

You know what what I'm saying?

I love going home early on a vacation.

Well, if you feel like you have to, yeah.

Exactly.

Speaking of fun summers,

we kicked ours off in style.

Oh my God.

Isn't it wonderful what happened?

They crowned us the princes of Celestial Park and we got to walk the blue carpet at the fucking opening of Epic Universe.

I said my eight-year-old self was dying

gorgeous.

I was so happy.

I was so happy for both of us.

I was so happy for you.

I kept telling you, you made it.

Like we're here.

Like you talked about this for so long.

I am so happy.

The people that you and I got to bring perfect vibes.

Like it was just, it was so great.

Like Universal Orlando, thank you for that.

That was really, they treated us so.

And we did some fun content for them.

We did this Coast Stars.

We did watch it now on YouTube.

Yeah, it's, we rode the Stardust Racers and they filmed us on the Damn GoPro.

We were so ill after the second time.

Holy fuck.

Yeah, that was tough.

She's a little demon that's stardust racers well it was so funny because we did stardust racers and then some people in the group hadn't done velocicoaster at the north campus yes

you love calling it the north campus i love it i you know i'm i'm a company man i use the corporate lingo um we go to north campus and everyone's like is this worse or better than is this more intense or less intense than stardust racers

this is less

And then I guess there was some room for debate on that because they were were like, no, that was crazier than Stardust.

And I was like, yes, I understand why it was crazier, but it's smoother.

Not to rank, not to compare them against to each other, but I feel like Stardust is,

it tosses you in the craziest ways.

Some of those barrel, are there, are they barrel spins?

Like, how would you describe those?

So there's a new element on the Stardust Racers.

It's called the Celestial Spin, which is it's a duodeling coaster trick where like they essentially, it's like a barrel roll around each other so that was really pretty incredible and also it's like um

probably two or three other inversions i don't know the exact inversion number on that coaster but one of them the green one is known as being a little bit more intense and the yellow one is like supposed to be like a step below it but not even in terms of intensity we did the green one twice to shoot this thing on the gopro And my vibe is I only need to do a ride once, really.

unless I'm on a drama mean.

Well, yes, unless you're on a drama mean, but this kind of,

I think, helps make the case that waiting in line, waiting in the queue is a necessary part of the experience, of the theme park experience.

Because we did it back to back, and I was like, whoa, it's like, you know, it maybe wouldn't have been bad in between a couple of these things to have like 15, 20 minutes to just get a breather.

Cause just the g-forces on what are 34 and 35-year-old bodies, you know it was cuckoo but then i will say took a drama i mean the for the next time we did it was true

okay

but overall roller coasters are not is not like djing you can't do b2b you can't do back to back babe babe you can that's a rule of culture that's a rule of culture number 77 roller coaster roller coasters are

not like djing are not like djing you can't do baby back to back you can't do bmb wait but i will say this here's what i'm ready to say velocity coaster the reason why it felt less intent is because it's so

it's like got like it picks up energy as it goes.

Velocity coaster is the best roller coaster I've ever done.

100%.

From the theming to like the way that the elements seem to increase an excitement and surprise factor, the fact that the last element on the Velocicoaster is that insane,

like

it's like it's like a barrel roll over the lake.

It's like a, it's crazy.

It's such a quick little wrench of a turn.

It's like, whoop.

It only has a lap bar, too.

So you're like, really bucking.

And that is the best roller coaster I've ever done for sure.

Stardust Racers is great because it's duels and it's, you know, it's really, it's wild.

It's quick.

You're whipping.

But for me, Velocicoaster remains untouched.

I love all coasters equally.

You are an equal opportunist.

Yes.

Curse of the werewolf, that tore us up.

I love Curse of the Werewolf.

Oh my God.

We loved that.

I just love Dark Universe in general.

We love Monsters Unchange.

That's our home.

That's

we feel really at home there.

The Monsters Unchange.

So we've officially, this is the first time we can tell everyone exactly about Dr.

Victoria Frankenstein and what her deal is because now we've seen it with our own eyes.

Like we now have met her.

We understand her.

She is about her legacy.

Bowen Yang let out a cackle so loud after she delivered the last line of the ride.

It was so funny.

I'll butcher the line, but it was like, the Frankenstein name is preserved.

It's vivid.

Something like that.

Bow to the name Frankenstein.

And Bowen just lets out a huge cackle.

And Celeste Yang goes, It's about legacy.

Well, Celeste goes, It's really interesting that this is a ride where the stakes are

my family.

It's so good.

You get there, okay.

So, you get to the fucking Frankenstein Manor.

It's a gag.

Everything, this like light purple light.

Stunning.

It's so good.

And all the theming is so good.

You walk through, like, she's got like all the monster pieces.

Like, she's got like Frankenstein's torso.

It's like on display.

It's of old, but it's like they've got this like modern touches throughout to show that she's like a scientist now.

And she's like, but she's a scientist while also giving like

Van Helsing, but cunt.

Oh, no, no, you have never seen Evangeline Lily.

Literally, Bowen turns to me and goes, Evangeline Lily.

And I was like, 100%.

Evangeline Lily if she believed in science.

Do you know what I mean?

Yes, exactly.

Okay.

If only she would be so powerful.

If only.

If she took the shot, if she took, if she took the backstage.

She'd taken the shot.

Kate Beckensale too kind of doubted.

Oh, you know what I mean?

Yeah.

So you're walking through and like, it's like, okay, so

she has captured a lot of the monsters.

And her whole thing is, I'm going to show them off.

And because I hear people talking shit, like, it's a lot of that.

Like, in the pre-show, she's like, let me tell you something.

I hear people talking shit.

And like, you need to understand, like, this is the game that I run monster catching.

And I'm about to really gag you because I have Dracula like locked up and I'm going to show him off.

He's in my little hovering prison in my little like, however she like captures these monsters, she has them in this like Vitruvian man hold with electricity, right?

Yeah.

Basically it's like, it's sort of an electrical prison for monsters or a zoo or something and you're, but you're going to go through it.

Yeah.

So pretty much right away, you realize Dracula is that girl.

Like ultimately, it's not going to work doctor.

And I put that in quotes, Victoria.

I'd love to know what her doctorate is in.

I'd love to see that accreditation.

I think she had a doctorate in dramatic writing, Bo.

Dramatic writing.

I think she had a doctorate in foolishness.

And foolishness.

You're anti-vital.

Well, I think she certainly exposed us to something that could kill us again and again.

Oh, you're right.

You're still mad.

And they're thinking, oh, at least they're locked up.

This woman knows what she's doing.

She's a doctor.

You get in.

That is not the case.

It's actually quite the opposite.

You're exposed to demons, monsters, and more.

Two wolf men, the wolfman and the werewolf, which are different, by the way.

So different.

It's not even funny.

Look it up.

Look it up.

But you know who's helping her, who I think is the

monster.

So he's sort of, you will go in there thinking, oh, this is just her sidekick, whatever.

He ends up factoring in huge because you

know I love him

and appreciate him for what he's done in the way he put himself out there, which could not have been easy.

Also, if Frankenstein's monster walked into the club with his height and his proportions, some of y'all would drop Trow.

Yeah.

Including me.

You just have to be very extroverted with him.

Like you, if you have to shoot your shot and follow up because it's, you know, he's got limitations socially.

We talked to him and the bride of Frankenstein outside the park.

And I, I, you know what I realized?

The original himbo.

100%.

Frankenstein's monster was the original himbo.

That's ruler culture number 49.

Frankenstein's monster.

Frankenstein's monster was original.

What do you think of her?

The bride?

Yeah.

I can't get a read.

I think she's iconic.

Well, I mean, she's definitely a star.

There's, there's some little like TikTok thing that I don't quite have memorized, but it's like, you know, girlfriend, pretty girlfriend who has like, it's, but it's like these kids who go to like universities in the south or something.

It's like the pretty girl who does all the talking and then like the quiet boyfriend.

It's very, it's giving that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And like, I think she's the, she's the chatty one.

She's, she does a lot of the PR and the communication for them as a couple.

Yeah, certainly.

I find her to be very controlling, I guess, is all I'm saying.

Look, maybe, maybe she knows him better than me.

She knows what he needs.

Would you rather Brida Frankenstein or Victoria Frankenstein?

Not that you have to choose, but you are in this scenario.

I'm making you choose.

Gone to your head.

I feel like Victoria Frankenstein is so in her own thing.

She speaks for herself.

I don't think, first of all, I don't think she has a partner.

I don't think it would work.

I think a lot of guys, and this is to say nothing, because, like I said, I have issues with the fact that she exposed us to such danger in the Monster Castle.

But I would say a lot of men are probably very threatened by her.

Because you know what I mean?

Her last name, Frankenstein.

I mean, she's a doctor.

She's uncompromising.

She's very committed to what she does.

She looks like that.

I don't think men would be strong enough.

I don't think there is any single man, straight man, that's secure enough to date Dr.

Victoria Frankenstein.

I just don't.

Well, I think there's something really incredible about Dr.

Victoria Frankenstein in the way that she is like, shall we say, like rendered in this world, which is you can imagine that she grew up having to apologize for being alive because everyone's like, Nepo baby, Nepo baby, Nepo baby.

But she is literally, she has turned that sort of thing, that animus from society into I'm going to do something and make sure that the Frankenstein name is preserved.

And that actually is pretty incredible if you think about it, because it's like, well, is nepotism a bad thing when it comes to like family honor?

When you have to uphold this, this name.

And this name that is bastardized by culture for all these years, everyone's, oh, Frank, it's Frankenstein's monster.

It's Dr.

Frankenstein.

No one knows what the name even means anymore.

It has completely lost its meaning.

And also, I think you're giving people too much credit because I think there are many more people than we even want to admit that are out here pointing to the gentleman with the bolts in his neck and the flat head.

And they're pointing, and you know what they're saying?

That's Frankenstein.

No, right.

And they are wrong.

And that is why Dr.

Vittoria Frankenstein gets a lot of license from me.

Yes.

Because it's not even just a bastardization.

It's a complete ignorance.

It is a complete ignorance in society today.

And I think that that's why she gets a lot of credit from me for trying.

Because you know what?

She's actually also an elder millennial icon.

Yes.

And she said, I will be caught trying hard.

Dr.

Vittoria Frankenstein has worked hard and you can see the work.

You can hear her sweat.

She actually can't control the volume of her voice.

Have you noticed that?

Yes.

She's always yelling.

Shouting.

Shouting.

Which we love.

Jaw tension.

really serious stuff.

You know, I just rewatched the movie Run La La Run

because of reasons.

And I realized she's a character who shouts and screams, and it's a power she has.

And I realized screaming is the biggest, most clearest proof that someone is alive.

Whoa.

That you're making noise, that you have vitality, that you can produce a sound loud like that.

This is why you and I love screaming.

This is why anyone's like, oh, they're screaming.

It doesn't matter.

Oh, that person shouts too much in their performance.

I'm like, that's not a bad thing.

Shouting is proof that you are alive.

When you scream, what you say is, remember me.

I'm here.

I'm here.

Remember my sound.

When you scream, you're saying, remember my sound.

That's actually rule of culture number 50.

When you scream,

you're actually saying,

remember my sound.

That actually is title of app, remember my sound.

This is a very interesting culture catcher because the vibes are: you are being top form, stoned icon.

I am being also classic, tired as fuck, jet lagged.

Bowen.

And can barely

no one was ever thinking about you.

No, I was tired, jet lagged, or more.

You brought that up.

I wasn't thinking of you as tired.

I was thinking of you as incredibly vivid.

I'm owning it.

I'm not saying I'm not insecure about, oh, can people tell that I'm tired?

I'm saying this is the classic Matt and Bowen vibe in a lot of ways.

You don't seem tired to me.

For some reason, didn't have the scaries or anything, except that it was Sunday, but it's a long weekend anyway in the UK.

I've had a free day, couldn't fall asleep, went to fell asleep finally at 7 a.m.

Woke, had to get up at 10 a.m.

to transfer hotels.

No.

So I'm like, I'm on no sleep.

And so that's why.

Why do you think that is happening?

And can you put the phone away?

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, it's probably that.

I need a Xanax prescription, period.

Girl, let me tell you something.

Last night I took half the Dramamine out.

Out.

Out because I had a little bit left over from the theme park.

I'm telling you, Drama Mean was everything.

Wait, can we just say what happens to Victoria ultimately?

Is she actually

so Frankenstein's monster ends up like, but this is a spoiler, I guess, but I don't know if you thought you'd leave the ride being like, oh, well, maybe on this one, you would think that Dracula won, but he doesn't.

But Dracula has a very interesting journey in this.

And I actually think Dracula is...

kind of the most fascinating figure in this whole story in a lot of ways.

Well, you know what?

I would love to explore more are the brides of Dracula.

Yes.

Yes.

I was interested.

That's a really good section of the ride is when they get to sort of

say this, but slay.

Yeah.

They really do slay.

And but it makes you think that Dracula is serial monogamist.

And that is maybe his biggest personality trait that we're not talking about as a culture.

This ride is really peeling back the layers of who these monsters, quote unquote, and these scientists are in real life.

You know what I mean?

Because we haven't been exposed to them as a culture in a long time.

And I'm really excited that we have the opportunity again.

Can I also say in an actual real way, these animatronics on that ride,

I have never seen anything like it.

And I'm including all of them, like at Disney, at whatever, like the animatronics in the Monsters Unchained.

ride at Epic Universe are the best I've ever seen bar none.

Bar none.

Period.

Well, that and that's just dark universe that's just dark universe can we just say went on the battle of the ministry i heard it said a five hour wait guys it is really good it is not worth a five hour wait no wait wait till later in the year we went on it a couple times seamless then the third time we went we went on it this is who was in the cart jessica alba and her lovely stunning hair and makeup team stunning hair and makeup team and the ride broke the fuck down almost immediately and the rest of it went we were moving in motion without any of the um with no sound with no sound it was the funniest thing i've ever experienced just like us next to jessica alba

like while the ride goes out of control we're cackling we got out that was fun guys see you later it was just i will never forget i've never been happier that a ride broke down oh that was

literally i was telling the story later and i was like that was so funny that was us and the dark angel herself herself, Jessica.

The dark angel herself, the maker of the best bubble bath ever produced in history.

I'm saying.

Honest Bubble Bath, everyone buy it now.

Now, I'm telling you.

That was our, that was the kind of thing you were getting at the grand opening where, like, everywhere you turn, you're like, oh, they're here?

You know who finally, you know, like.

It hit me today that she was there was JoJo Siwa.

And like, we did not properly process that.

Bowen, Bowen.

I almost stopped us.

I almost during the red, we were on the red carpet, the blue carpet rather, getting interviewed.

And then I turn around and I see JoJo Siwa right in our line of sight.

And a little bit inside me, I was like, I have to stop everything and tell Billwin that JoJo Siwa.

But of course you saw me.

No, I knew.

And why didn't we say anything?

I don't know.

Literally, karma came on truffle today.

I was nervous.

I'm like, she's a fucking icon.

I'm intimidated by JoJo Siwa.

I am.

She's a legend.

You know who else was there?

We were two gags to say, hi, it was Gertie from Miami.

I know.

Stunning.

Do you see what I'm saying?

This is how I am with housewives.

Like, there's something about them that really gets me shaking in my boots.

No, but Bo, then part of me was like, we should have gone over to her because she's one of the queens of Florida.

It was up to us.

I know.

You have to remember, we were crowned princes of Celestial Park.

Like, it's our job to host.

She's the queen of Florida.

Like, that was a big moment.

And I feel like we didn't do the right thing by going up to Gertie and being like, Gertie, you're a legend because, and you look amazing.

Yeah, she did look amazing.

Oh, my God.

And Russell, is that her husband's name?

Yes, of course.

He was there.

What a lovely family.

What a lovely couple they are.

And I just feel like that was, that was a mistake.

Andy was there.

Andy was there.

It's so funny to, to just be like, oh, hey, there's Andy.

Hilarious.

That was one of my favorite nights ever.

Like, and then they did the

fireworks and the drone thing that was unbelievable.

Like, that was, it was such a fun day.

Nintendo World in Epic Universe is so overwhelming.

Like, it's joyful.

We took my sister and she was like on the verge of tears.

She was like, wow, it's really,

it brings right back.

It's so cool.

They crushed.

They crushed.

And it was so cool seeing the Nintendo people there.

Shigaramiyamoto and Doug Bowser, iconic legend, CEO of Nintendo America.

His name is literally Doug Bowser.

No relation.

No relation to King Koopa, but but is just kind of walking around in Isle of Burke, enjoying the meatballs, riding on hiccups wing gliders.

Wait, can you talk on that ride?

Because that was really sort of magical, huh?

I loved hiccups wing gliders so much.

Spoiler alert, you see, I think their names are little gronkels.

The little dragons kind of pop out, and they're the cutest little creatures you've ever.

It's just darling.

And

I don't use that word too much, but that's the only word that comes to mind when I think about Isle of Burke.

Darling.

It's just darling.

It really was just darling.

And we tried the meatballs.

Pretty good meatballs.

I also had a good burger from the Meteor Astro Pub.

Can I say something?

You can say all the things.

In my own life, this is meatloaf summer for for bella i'm making meatloafs this season can i summer meatloafs can i have a piece yes you can have a piece you're coming over i have a new deck

i'm gonna learn how to grill wow this is a new life you've always been good at the grill though i mean not like jared jared is the grill master jared is the grill master no i don't know i don't really know my way around the grill and that's that's sort of my final boss with cocaine you gotta go with that grill last night melissa made us turkey burgers Yum.

I love a turkey burger.

Hey, maybe there's something here.

Maybe there's something here with turkey burgers.

I could actually, I could get into that.

Can I say something?

Another thing?

Yeah.

I don't get all this stuff about, like, oh, lean meat is dry.

Like, yeah, that's fine.

One of the moistest things that I've ever eaten last night.

I'm sure, but I'm just saying, like, I don't mind it when a chicken breast is like a little overcooked and like, okay, this just means I can dip it in a sauce.

Let me tell you, like, I don't want to call this person out, but I will.

Jared doesn't like condiments.

He doesn't

have sauce.

I said,

does anyone out there identify as someone who doesn't like condiments at all?

Sauce of any kind?

The concentric circle out of that is that you don't like seasoning at all, which is crazy.

And they're wrong.

And they're wrong.

It's an expression.

It is an expression.

Put your sauce on it.

Condiments are an expression.

It's actually rule of culture number

74.

Condiments are an expression.

Oh, and you can get so creative with it.

Condiments are creations.

Condiments are Christians.

Dressings are fabulous.

By the way, I did want to unveil my new

drag name.

Tell us.

Beautiful dress.

Oh, because you want.

Like, imagine coming around the corner.

And then the first thing Rue says is, beautiful dress.

Hi, beautiful.

Well, beautiful was saying that you didn't really rise to the challenge in the

main challenge today.

Well, beautiful was wrong about that.

Beautiful.

I think beautiful needs to mind her own beautiful business.

What is the most beautiful dress ever?

The most beautiful dress ever was, of course, Cinderella's dress.

I was going to say that too.

And I'm I'm dead ass.

It was the most beautiful dress.

Let's just get one thing straight.

Go.

Anyone that ever hits a red carpet is trying to do what Cinderella did at the ball.

If you are in a modern fashion

and you do anything where you show up to a place and hope to gag someone with what you're wearing, you are trying to do what Cinderella first did.

And that is period.

But the tragic thing is that Cinderella never walked the carpet.

She just kind of shows up at the ball.

You know, it's like the people that first created fire never got to see the fireworks display at Epic Universe, but they should rest knowing that they tried.

They triumphed.

They should rest knowing that they triumphed.

They triumphed.

I hope that's how they rest, knowing that they triumphed.

They triumphed.

I think Cinderella.

He put that on my tombstone, I swear to God.

He rests knowing he triumphs.

He triumphed.

I'm not kidding.

Write that down and put that on my tombstone and you are in charge because I do die first.

I've seen the future.

Stop.

Stop.

No, we're not doing that.

We're not doing it because it's too sad to get into the way I die.

I've seen it.

I've seen the future.

You stand by watching.

Spoiler alert.

You do nothing.

You're hapless.

I hate this.

I'm so upset right now.

It's because we're standing on a roof and I just go, what, what, what?

And I fall off the roof.

And you stand hapless.

Why are we on the roof?

Why?

I don't know.

If we get involved in a roof.

If we get invited to a roof party in the future, no, that's that might be where it happens.

That I'm never going on a roof.

You can't allow me to go on the roof, bro.

When you say hapless, do you mean helpless or do you mean hapless as in like unlucky?

You're both.

You haplessly watched me fall off the roof.

It wasn't so lucky for you that you were there to watch.

And I'm also helpless.

Like, I can't help.

I'm not sure.

You were hapless, helpless, and more.

I don't like that at all, man.

Like, I'm kidding.

Can I tell you something?

I can't see the future.

I was doing a sort of bit

i things got out of hand you know what sometimes i think

when you do bits sometimes things get a little crazy can i say one of the reasons why i missed recording virtually is because we're using the cans and i love knowing the effect you can give when you when you wear the cans like I don't know.

I love it.

It's better

podcast performance because you can see your voice can do.

You can sort of, you know, be a little ASMR.

Go down.

You can do so much with the cans.

I do think that wearing cans is like a podcast thing.

And when we have guests and we don't wear the cans, I'm always like, is it?

I see.

Oh my God.

You need to go on British radio because they love the cans.

I need to go on British radio.

Yeah.

You love saying cans.

Are you still saying modus operandi?

I'm a little in my head about it now.

That's for sure.

No.

Oh, no.

Because I feel like, well, I feel like we're like it's modus operand die

and i was like i've never heard it like that that was burbiglia being berbiglia it was him being superior okay yes he was acting very superior in the moment

um so what else should we talk about i saw hugh jackman perform at radio city oh my god yes

absolutely electric show but the highlight was when he brought out this woman her name was burgundy williams and she sang Never Enough.

Because I saw that Never Enough from the Greater Showman was on the set list, and I was like, Is Hugh gonna give Never Enough?

Is that how deep in it we are?

Is Miss Already here?

She was not.

So, basically, like Burgundy Williams.

And Burgundy Williams came in and slayed Never Enough.

And that got me to, of course, search her name in the YouTube search bar.

So then I'm watching a little bit of Burgundy Williams,

X Factor UK performances.

I find out that's where she's from.

I'm watching one performance of Aretha Franklin's song, Respect, well-known song.

Did it remind you of Kelly?

Everybody knows it.

Everyone loves it.

Not only was everyone loving it and knowing it so much,

they cut to Simon Cowell, who's a judge, still to this day.

My girl has her arms up over her head dancing.

Simon.

I said, does Simon dance now?

Never would have danced in the audience.

Simon Cowell dancing with his hands above his head to change the Franklin's respect.

I was like, don't tell me that people can't change and that we can't have growth.

No.

And I wasn't sure how I felt about it because I'm like, should Simon be dancing hands up in the air sometimes?

But he was.

I was like, now I have to process how I feel about this.

There's a Christmas Carol story in that.

Oh, Simon Cowell was.

Visited Scrooge, but he was visited by ghosts.

You know, I think the ghost that visited him was one of the American Idol contestants that he was shitty to.

Yes, I think William Hung was definitely one of the ghosts of American Idol past.

Alive and well, as far as we know.

They're just specters.

They're just like, they're just like conceptual ghosts.

No, no, no.

These are conceptual ghosts.

Right.

Like, I think that Jennifer Hudson is probably one of his conceptual ghosts.

Because I don't think he did enough.

Right, right.

He didn't do enough to save her.

Oh, my God.

You know that Simon Cowell said something crazy about Beyonce when she first was going solo.

He said like she's not talented and not attractive.

Literally, he's on record saying those things, something to that degree.

There's that Times review of Dangerously in Love where they're like, she's no Ashanti.

Like it's so funny that people who are eating such crow right now.

It's what How is Cowboy Carter to her?

I want to say I'm so excited.

So you and I are going together.

So we're going to be in France next month and for a few days in Cannes.

And then we're going to Paris because Matt Whitaker and Tom Nye were going to be there seeing her in Paris.

And I was like, oh my God, let's just go.

It's Kismet.

We're going to go.

But I couldn't help myself and went on Thursday at MetLife.

Can I say?

Not so crazy getting in and out of MetLife this time.

What a relief.

Not so crazy.

And it also was cold and raining a little bit.

Yeah.

So I dressed for comfort and functionality and not Cowboy Carter Fashion.

Right.

The way I will in.

Oh, I'm dressing for Cowboy Carter Fashion in Paris.

I might even wear a little something that you gave me.

But the show was phenomenal.

I'm so happy I dressed to be warm because we could, like,

you know, not even think about it.

Because

she just is getting better.

She's literally getting better.

There's no one that's ever looked hotter ever in anyone's life than Beyonce doing this tour.

Her voice is

unreal.

And what I loved about this tour, too, is she through, she throws it.

Well, no spoilers on set list if you don't want them, but I'm gonna dive in here.

You hear irreplaceable, you hear if I were a boy, you hear single ladies by the end.

Like, she also gives renaissance a section,

and

yeah, I mean, like, it's a two two-hour, 45-minute show that feels like it could keep going.

I love that, it's how I feel about Eras tour.

I'm like, oh, why I could, I could use more.

I am so anticipating this Lord era.

You've been saying we are so bad.

I love, what was that?

I am watching her in interviews now and I'm seeing the NB jump out.

And I get what she's saying when she's like, I don't really know if I should call myself non-binary right now, non-binary right now,

but just the way that she is just like even posing and just.

carrying herself.

I'm like, okay.

Very powerful and connected.

Yeah.

The center of gravity gravity is different in a way that is fascinating to me.

And I'm like, I'm interested to see where this goes next.

Love Lord.

Obviously, love Lord.

Love that

one of her inspirations for this album was

Julio Torres Loving the Color Clear.

I can't.

I just can't believe.

That's the best.

The best.

And by the way, I'm re-in love with Green Light because I saw John Proctor as the villain on.

And oh, you're going to fucking love it.

And Green Light by Lorde factors in in a big way.

And I was just like, this is one of the best pop songs of the past, you know, 100%.

20.

2017, was that, was that Melodrama?

Eight years ago.

Yeah.

You know who hosted the, she did it on SNL.

And I watched the performance again.

It was such a good performance on SNL.

And Scarlett hosted that one.

Oh, wow.

That's right.

Yeah.

But I remember when that album came out, it was a Fire Island summer.

We were just, all we did was just play Melodrama.

And it's the summer of 2017.

Oh, wow.

We've we've been going a while it's perfect green light is one of the best i want to say can i'm i'm kind of like excited at some of the movies i don't really like i think it's probably too early to like cherry pick anything but we're gonna see i mean dynamite

they're saying it's jennifer lawrence's year they're which i cannot wait to see i mean she's just the best she should have gotten ascribed on for no hard feelings i said it

agreed agree who who else carries comedy that easily and isn't not for nothing, but

feeling like they're trying too hard?

You know what I mean?

Like, she's effortlessly funny.

She's like, also, like, balancing all of the like grounded aspects with the comedy in that movie.

Like, that, that was fucking good.

Locked in with Andrew Breth Feldman so well.

They were so good together.

So underrated.

Absolutely.

It was just an accident.

Palm d'Or.

I'm excited to see that.

And then I'm excited to see the Nouvelle Vague movie, that Richard Linkleiner movie about the making of breathless, about Godar making breathless.

And then there's that, the guy who did worst person in the world and then actress from that movie doing another movie on sentimental value, Renata.

I'm excited to see that.

I need to re-watch that movie because I only gave it one pass.

And I'm like, I'm obsessed.

I love it.

I'm going to watch this for the rest of my life.

That's actually a blind spot for me.

I've never seen it.

So maybe

meatloaf and worst person.

Wait, actually, for you and I, that's a great movie to watch for somebody.

Really?

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Yay.

Yes.

Yeah.

You guys, the way that lost culture has the wheels turning

should we tease anything from upcoming culture awards there's not really much to say yet there's not much to say yet but we're excited to

get the team together

we have fun ideas they're brewing they're brewing and for those of you who were expecting it to be in New York this summer, we apologize that it's a bit of a curveball, but we love to sort of balance it out.

We would love to bring it back to New York sometime in the future if we're able to.

But for now, we are so excited to be in LA.

And we will have more information very soon about how to attend the event in person.

And the other upside to it is that anyone can watch from the comfort of their home.

Unlike past years where we had, where we had to gatekeep it, unfortunately, because we were trying to sell it.

Like that was the reason why in the years past, we couldn't post the full video online.

You know, we've had wonderful people, publicists, really, like stream from Beyond.

Get out there with their TikToks.

Yeah, that was really good.

Absolutely.

We couldn't, we did not have like the mechanisms in place for that kind of access for people, but now we do.

And it was all kind of building towards this.

And so we just want to do a great job for you guys.

And we hope and know you'll love it.

I think the mechanisms are in place for I don't think so honey.

What do you think?

I think so as well.

I have a random one, but I hope you agree.

But do you want to go first?

Yeah, I guess I'll go first.

I don't think so honey is our 60-second segment where we take a second, 60.

Actually, excuse me for my mistake there

to rail rants and more against something in culture that

has to be stopped preferably soon.

So, this is mine.

I'm ready to go.

Okay, this is Matt Rogers.

I don't think so, honey.

His time starts now.

I don't think so, honey.

Gay guys making weight jokes in front of women

about themselves.

Like, oh, God.

Like, you're not a gay AI from 2017.

Like, please stop acting like one.

People being like, ugh, I don't want to snack on something.

Just like anyone that's like being annoying and making weight jokes in front of women, you're a gay guy like the way that you view your body like you're allowed to be feel however you want to feel but just like understand like

you're like oh i don't want to eat that in front of women it's like i don't know like this this really bothers me it's like gay guys like not understanding like the way that you talk about your body is the way that women feel about it all the time like i feel like the summer is this occasion for people to be like

fat and it's like

because it's just be more careful with the way you toss this shit around.

Even if you think you're being funny, like it really, I've seen it shut down some social situations.

And it's because people just aren't thinking.

Like, don't be so ignorant.

I don't think so, honey.

That's one minute.

Yeah.

I mean, that's just, this is just, I guess, something that hopefully these people learn, relearn every year when, like, they think about

that.

in a more apparent way because it's summer, IDK.

I don't know.

I think when summer approaches, it like gets everyone in their head about their bodies.

And especially, like, I don't know.

I just think like gay men, because we often are casual around women with, like, because, like, you know, we're comfortable with them.

Sometimes we say things about our own bodies or like, you know, comment on like a body culture, like in the gay community, which I think can be a little careless around women who have to deal with that 365.

You know what I'm saying?

It's just like, and so I just think it comes off a little disrespectful and a little, I don't know, just as if you're not thinking of the comfort of the people around you when you are so casual and like low-key body fascist.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

It makes people feel bad.

So I just think gaze, a little high-key, chill.

And also, no one's thinking about your body as much as you are.

You don't need to vocalize it.

I think sometimes people are like, oh, I better say this thing about my body because I know it's fucked up.

Like it's probably not.

And also no one is thinking about it.

Right.

So, cause once you bring those issues to the table, understand that someone else is going to be feeling those issues in a much deeper way.

And especially women.

I've just seen it really like shut down some things and it makes me feel not good.

This is Bowen Yang's.

A little bit random.

I don't think so, honey.

And his time starts now.

I don't think so, honey.

Azure.

First of all, how do you pronounce it?

Azure?

Azure?

Second of all, just say blue.

I looked it up.

It's just sky blue.

We can say sky blue instead of putting too much, so to speak, sauce on and say azure, which is a name for a company it's it's it's a name for a company first and not a color name do you know what i mean it's like it's too corporate sounding azure

and i it's just a random assortment of letters a z 30 seconds

r e

first of all to have letters a and z in the same word is very powerful and it only is reserved for the best words such as pizza jazz crazy i don't know.

15.

I don't have other examples, but Azure does not belong in that pantheon of amazing words.

Amazing, plaza.

It is powerful when a word has A and Z in it because it spans the entire alphabet in a way, in a sense.

But not Azure, you don't belong up there.

And that's one minute.

Do you agree with me?

Can I say something?

I'm walking through it in the moment.

I don't know.

Because I agree with you, but there's something beautiful about Azure.

No, but see, but listen to how I say it.

Azure.

Yeah, I wish that.

You don't want to hear that all the time.

Azure.

I wish that's how it was pronounced, but I think it's pronounced Azure, which sounds crazy.

And

it is an inefficient way of describing a plain blue color.

It's not like cerulean, which is a gorgeous word, by the way, for the word blue.

There are all these words for the word blue.

Azure is like so random sauce to me.

Like, I don't like it.

It's always bothered me, this word.

Bowen, if you don't like your reality, change it.

Say azure like me.

You can live a fabulous life if you just so choose.

I don't know.

If you start saying azure, know that you've created a path forward for yourself toward happiness.

Azure.

That's not how it's pronounced.

Azure.

It feels like it's the name of a pastry or a company and it's not the name of a color.

And for that reason, it should be a proper noun only and it should not be in the the dictionary.

It should be, it should just be like a startup.

Well, I think this is all very azure of you.

No, that's not even the right usage.

I think you're actually being quite azure at the moment.

Your azure is showing.

Things of such an azure nature of which you speak.

Oh,

it's really azure.

Such an azure nature of which you speak.

You committed an azure against me.

See, you used the word azure in like 10 different ways.

None of them were in the color way.

That's because...

That's my issue.

Let me reassure you that

I can give you an assurance

that your assurance

is inequitable right now.

You're acting azure.

Oh, well.

You've gone azure.

And they've gone azure.

azure if you know if you know what I mean.

If you gather my meaning, I think he's gone a journey.

I see,

suddenly it's become a front runner for word of the year.

Suddenly it has become a frontrunner.

It just, it's a word that doesn't make it, but don't you, don't you agree with me that words such as jazz, pizza, crazy, amazing,

those are all the best words?

Yes.

Those are some of the best words we have.

And azure

is not

in that.

How do you spell it?

Oh, no, the spelling is universal.

A-Z-U-R-E.

Okay.

Well, I have to tell you, I'm getting like a Microsoft Azure.

What is that?

Exactly.

This is what I'm saying.

It's a company.

It's like a service.

It doesn't sound like a color.

It sounds like...

a corporate shitty, a fucking clinical ass name.

And I'm saying that I like, can I say what I like?

Azul.

Yeah.

I like Azul.

Bowen.

Okay, so I just literally Googled, is Azure a word?

And it is.

It is a bright blue color.

And it also is a small butterfly that is typically blue or purplish with color differences between the sexes.

I can only imagine that the purple are girls because pink.

Now listen.

I think that you are not understanding that there's an opportunity here to franchise Azure.

Because if it's not out there enough, let's make it out there.

Let's try it out.

I think

I'm saying it's out there too much.

I don't want it out there anymore.

The SEO is terrible.

You Googled Azure and the first thing that popped up was Microsoft, Azure, whatever that is.

So what?

Who are they?

They're not even that.

Microsoft's not even that big of a deal anymore.

It's all about Apple.

You know what I'm saying?

It's like, we can't take on Microsoft.

Please try me.

I'm not.

Can I say something on record?

I'm not worried about Microsoft.

I'm not at all.

Apple this, Apple that, Apple, this, Apple.

That.

I'll take them on for Azure.

And in fact, can we get our lawyer on?

I would like to file a lawsuit, a copyright claim.

I'd like to get legal about this and litigious even.

Against Microsoft for the word Azure.

I think we've lost the thread.

This is Rogers versus Microsoft.

And the only one will leave with the word Azure.

I'm telling you.

Readers, publicists, finalists, Katie's, Kyles, and more, because there are more coming in the future.

Oh, God.

Start making azure a thing for a lost coach.

I'm serious.

I just want to quickly shout out Audrey Hobart.

Sue me.

I love that song.

Speaking of litigiousness.

I'm loving that.

You're loving this song.

I love it too.

I mean, it came out like a few weeks ago, but I'm late to the party.

But the music video, have you seen the music video?

No, I haven't yet.

It's a little brain scratcher.

I love it.

it makes me feel a little fuzzy in my head i know me too me too but you should watch watch the music video it's phenomenal love she's she's a star well she works with gracie a lot who i love we love gracie you know who gracie said her dream podcast guest is for lost cult

orna

Orna on.

Let's have Dr.

Orna on.

No, we should.

And also, that would be really great.

And also, Charlie XTX

is on record on this podcast.

She's saying she's the sexiest woman alive.

She, she just, she and I just connected about that today where she replied to my story and said, she's my God, my crush, my everything.

Wow.

Charlie

stands Orna in the craziest way, as we know.

I mean, why wouldn't?

Orna is on everybody's lips.

And the new season of couples therapy.

Have you started a new new season of couples therapy?

No, I have to.

I have to.

I have to.

I have to.

Excellent.

Excellent this season.

Well, with that to look forward to and a culture catch-up in the can, the boys logged off to enjoy the rest of their Memorial Day.

But not before they finished the episode of Lost Culturists, titled Azure.

Like they always do.

With the song.

Wait, well, no, we had another title that was really good.

What was it?

That was another one.

It was like, go.

Becca, did you write it down?

She didn't write it down.

Damn it.

Oh, Becca.

She says, LOL.

No, I'm sorry.

All caps begging for forgiveness, groveling.

We'll see.

Groveling.

We'll see about that.

We'll have to keep her guessing whether or not we forgive her.

So tune into the next lost cult to find out.

Sumi, I want to be wanted.

Sumi, I want to be wanted.

Sumi, I want to be, summer,

wanna be wanted.

Oh,

I need to keep listening to it.

It's great.

I'm in that thing where I'm listening to a lot of the same thing again and again and again and again.

And it is Marin Morris's album.

I love it.

It's excellent.

Dreamsicle.

Stream Dream.

Dreamsicle.

You got to stream Dreamsicle.

I love Marin.

Okay, we already sang a song, so that counts as our out.

Bye.

Kind of like the new DiGiorno Wood-Fired style crust pizza.

With a leveled-up, crispy, yet perfectly airy crust.

Now that DiGiorno has new wood-fired style crust pizzas, I might start doing the show from home.

DiGiorno is dropping a new crust in four topping varieties: Premium Pepperoni, Supreme Speciale, Italian Meat Trio, and Four Cheese.

I'll have all four.

You've never had pizza like this at home.

It's restaurant-quality pizza without all the other restaurant stuff.

The new DiGiorno Wood-Fired style crust pizza.

It's not delivery.

It's Dijorno.

Do you know what the perfect addition is to any party?

What?

A Casamigos margarita.

Everyone loves a Casamigos margarita.

She really is that girl.

It's true.

Everyone can get behind her.
