First things first. Okay.
I'm the realist. First things first.
I'm the realist. I want to tell everyone where I am.
Yes. I'm in a hotel in Austin.
It's the same hotel that the Real Housewives of Potomac stayed in on their bad trip to Austin. They had a bad series of episodes in Austin and they stayed at this hotel.
I'm still gagged. It was like five episodes last season.
At that point, I had fallen off. I was like, I don't like the vibe here.
Well, first of all, I'll save it for i don't think so honey i'm back to i don't think so honey giselle fucking bryant that fucking lady she definitely tried it this time again tried it well in a way that's like a straight up lie i don't want i don't want to get in the muck with these fucking people but like feels like you're mucking it up well I've been in the muck with Giselle since the beginning you know what I mean producer Beck is saying okay no but I do well yeah we can all get in the muck but you know I will make an exception in this case because I'm happy to get back into the mud pit well stay tuned for that one at the end of the episode we're getting in the the muck of it all. I just hope I'm staying in Mia's bed.
At least someone I stand. Do we stand Mia? Can I tell you something, Bowen? I can't help it.
Every time Mia Thornton comes on screen, I'm smiling. I'm happy.
And Jacqueline as well. Well, we love Jacqueline.
I just finished this week's episode. I actually haven't seen this week's episode yet so did me do something absolutely absurd yes and actually in a way that is really deeply painful to her children oh no okay alright let me let me she literally no can I just spoil it for you this is what happens she goes she's with her kids Gordon's about to come and she goes

okay so you know how

mommy and daddy

are getting a divorce

and then the kids go

no

what

she didn't

she like saved

for the camera

this woman is not like

tracking anything

about her children

she doesn't want

she's in the name of

protecting their innocence

quote unquote

is like

communicating with them

in a way that is so

that is

that is bad that I think like will have repercussions in the future and I really these sweet children I go god damn it your mom is like your mom is a broken person obviously but like for her to you know pass this down is really tough to watch literally while the cameras are rolling are rolling, I can't stand Mia Thornton. I'm sorry.

She could never be Angie

Kay.

No! She could never be Angie Kay.

By the way, no one could.

No one could. No one could ever

be Angie Kay. There's a new Supreme.

There is truly, deeply

a new Supreme. Let me tell you something.

As someone who currently has high body

count hair, I am

so happy to have this

expression. When was the last time we had something at this magnitude? Honestly, the last time we may have been given this much of a gift was probably receipts proof timeline screenshots.
Salt Lake City is just quite simply the best show on television. It's one of the best shows ever to be broadcast on television in the under 100-year history of the medium.
Wow, to think it's under 100 years old, what are we going to do for the 100th birthday of television? We have to throw the party. We have to throw the party.
We will do a list. We'll do a countdown.
Salt Lake City, spoiler alert, number one show to ever, ever exist. That's a high body count hair, that's a high body count dress.
This is not high body count hair, that's not high body count hair. I look like a mother.
And then for Lacey to go, okay, but you do need the Caratacea Romantique. You do need Caratacea Tematique.
Oh, Caratacea Tematique, whatever it was. I, honestly, what a perfect episode.
Honestly, you never could have known from Meredith pitching her bot mitzvah in the very first episode that it would pay off in this way. And then Meredith calling back security, security at the end.
What a brilliant. Absolutely having security, security.
Oh my God. I can leave.
I weigh, I weigh 90 pounds. What did she say? There was so much happened.
The last five, I was telling you, you were on a flight flight but we were on the group chat the group chat was popping off being like oh my god this week's episode of Salt Lake is one for the damn books yeah and I was telling you the last five five minutes are peak yes oh my god to say nothing of Mary coming late and peeking through the windows I saw I saw a TikTok because of course I did because the true genius artists are really working on TikTok. That's really the medium where the true genius artists are working now.
Truly. It was to Taylor Swift's song, I look in people's windows.
And it was Mary just like peeking in. I like I'm some deranged weirdo.
God. Mary M.
Cosby is the Taylor Swift of America in a way. Did you know that we are the top saved story on Mary's Instagram profile? It's you and I doing our...
It's you and I talking about her on the Iconic 400. We are the first stave story on her Instagram profile, and it says iHeart with a heart emoji.
As in iHeartRadio? I think she thinks that we were... We work for iHeart.
She clearly doesn't know the minutia of what the fuck this all is. Why would she? She has way more important things to deal with.
The important and unimportant things in her life are much more important than this podcast.

I would disagree with that.

And I would say that she thinks that we are iHeartRadio mouthpieces because this is iHeartRadio and a little heart.

And it's us doing our entire 30 seconds on Mary M. Cosby.

I'm so happy.

Little does she know we've done a whole episode of this podcast based around her.

12 Days of Culture when Mary M. Cosby took the world stage.
Day number two. Day number two.
Day number one was the opening of the first McDonald's. Yeah.
Day number two was Miriam Cosby takes the world stage. And then number three was the lane.
I think five was Jaws eats the girls. Jaws eats the girls.
12 was when Nintendo World ended. I don't remember.
We'd have to go back

and look,

but that's,

of course,

our greatest work.

I have to ask you,

what is the life

of a touring singer,

songster like

in the year 2024?

I am having

the best time of my life.

This is probably

my favorite tour

I've ever done.

The vibes are immaculate

between me and the boys,

the band.

The audiences are giving

everything. I just performed in Atlanta.

I'll perform in, I guess, Austin

actually the night before this comes out.

So sorry, y'all, if you're in Austin and you missed it.

But I'll be in Philly and New York

and Boston this

weekend, and I'm having the best time.

And then I felt so stupid, though, Bo,

because I put up this

Instagram post, which was like these nice pictures that my friend Doug Krantz took over in LA at my Fonda show. And I put it up and I was like, I'm having the unequivocal best time of my life, etc.
And then someone posted below it like, is this an Eras Tour thing? And I was like, oh God, not me posting in the same tenor as Taylor Swift on the finale of the Eras Tour I promise I'm self aware about this whole thing wait I don't understand what the person was trying to call out though just being like they were like this is such an Aeros tour post and I had to sit back and laugh because I was like wow I gave a Swiftian caption you know how she does how she gets on and she's like Toronto yeah yeah yeah but i'm also i don't know how much she owns the concept of posting a carousel of photos from the show no she doesn't but someone said that it just made me laugh that's all i was saying of course i i have no sense of humor i'm in my um bag as it were i'm having the best time please come out the show. I really am having the best time.
By the way, everyone, first of all, Slay, you are so lucky to be able to see this man perform. I love this slutty Christmas Fierro look.
I literally texted Michael Fisher. I said, I want to be like slutty Christmas Fierro.
I think that would be a fun reference for everything that's going on in the culture. And, you know, it being the Prince of Christmas tour, it felt like synergy.
And he came through like he always does. Shout out to Michael Fisher and Brody.
I feel very slutty Christmas Fiero. And slutty white pant Fiero, which is a very important Broadway stage version visual.
It's a throwback. It's a nod.
Speaking of Wicked, which I saw a third time last night, I took the band to go see Wicked. Oh my God.
In Austin. Henry Kavarski's first time seeing it? No, he had seen it before.
Ethan had seen it before, but it was my bassist Jordan Richards' first time seeing it. And my drummer, Derek Swink, he had seen it before.
Derek Swink? Yes. What a name.
Iconic drummer. Father of one.
Ryder. And he is now an...
He's like... He was saying, I'm now an Ariana Grande super fan.
He was like, I think she can do anything. I was like, well, she can.
And... Sure.
Congrats to you. You're in a Golden Globe nominated film.
Ariana, Cynthia, congrats on your nominations. Everybody.
I i mean this is an awards juggernaut bo it is incredibly cool to see these people get the recognition i will not be going to the golden globes unfortunately bummer why i am protecting this japan trip at all costs Oh, no, no, no. should You must go to Japan I'm not no there's I love the Globes No you've been before Question mark I went when it was the HFPA days Now that we're in a post HFPA And last year's Globes were such a smash Yeah they were great And Nikki is gonna be fantastic Nikki will be so good right person.
Ooh, some of our friends are writing for it, I think.

Oh, great.

Yeah.

But I will, unfortunately, not.

Even though, I mean, should I?

I don't know.

No, Bowen.

You should go to Japan.

I need to go to Japan.

Well, tell everyone what you're doing.

Tell everyone what you're going to do.

I'm going to Japan on New Year's Day for two weeks, a little under two weeks.

It's my number one bucket list place.

I'm splurging the house down. I need this trip.
You deserve it. Thank you.
You absolutely should go. I mean, listen, the first of all, by the way, Bowen, I think you're going to have many Golden Globes invitations in your future and other cool things that, you know, these are just fun nights.
Of course, you've done a lot of celebrating Wicked. You've done a lot of celebrating of everyone's work.
And I think everyone knows how excited and how grateful you are to be a part of it. And you also contributed so much to it already.
You don't need to be there. You can go to Japan and have a fucking time at Tokyo DisneySea.
I looked it up. It's hard to do both parks in the same day.
And I think I only have one day. Should I do Disney Sea or Disneyland?

Well,

we could go through the rides and attractions later off air and talk about which ones I think would be best for you.

No,

but I don't know.

That's a really tough question.

Think about this though.

You can go to Disneyland any in the world,

anywhere in the world.

You can't really do the Disney Sea thing.

But that's like a state of the art,

innovative thing that only they have.

And when are you going back?

I think very often. Okay.
If I have my druthers. Well, we'll prepare for the druthering of just the one trip.
But anyway, we can get into that after because I do want to help you. I want to help you with that.
And I have a trip to pitch you for the spring. Okay.
Does it rhyme with smirly? Yes. Period.
Period. Oh, you know I'm Interesante.
Okay. Wait, can we just speak on the Golden Globes nominations for a second? Yes.
Because they came out today, and I just want to say one thing. Because I feel like we have not given the shine to one particular performer who fucking deserves it.
Mikey Madison. No.
Well, Mikey Madison, I think, is a superstar, and I love Enora. We've given her the shine.
We've given her the shine. I love Enora.
And by the way, I'm super excited to see all these nominations and all this love for Yora Borisov, who is in the movie. He was fantastic.
And the way he held the space with her in that last scene, their chemistry, it's not easy to just give like a tender, open, available performance that. It's also a real, genuine feat in casting, which I think that movie deserves a casting Oscar, which I keep saying every year in and year out, there should be a casting Oscar because of movies like Anora.
Brilliant. By the way, Sebastian Cannelli, our friend, is in Anora.
He plays the tow truck guy at the end who gets into it this is why this movie needs a casting Oscar because they find the right actors from the right random places bring them in and like create this ensemble which is so real and memorable to say nothing of all the dancers in that movie are all extremely well cast like mwah and to find like madison who's been doing great work etc and now she gets this part now she's going to be a superstar just slaying red carpets crushing them amazing amazing person but what amazing person but what i want to say and who i want to shout out is kristen fucking miloti. Oh my God.
Kristen Milioti on the Penguin

is giving

one of the best, not only one of the best

performances of the year, obviously,

but one of the best performances in

like DC, Batman history

up there with Heath, Joaquin,

Michelle Pfeiffer. Like, she

is truly

crushing this role. Superior.

So dangerous

and yet like emotional and fun and surprising and like all the things like Kristen Milioti every single time she's in anything like gives a stunning performance and is memorable and is just also a cool person and I hope she wins she's up there with legends. She's in that category with Jodie Foster, Kate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts, and Sofia Vergara.
And I hope she takes it. I really hope she takes it.
Yeah. God, I'm behind.
But this is not... Behind on watching things.
Yes, yes, but this is classic, tale as old as time for me. It's hard, but this is behind on on watching things yes yes but this is uh this is a classic tale as old as time for me it's hard but i this is why i treasure these episodes is where you give me the download i'm really just saying like that is a performance that is worth saying recognition yes yes full chest and then you know outside of that like kind of was the usual suspects although they're very globesy it was a little bit like okay like parade of the famous people totally let's see what else is there in the culture this might y'all are our kpf's this might be a quick one maybe a quick little episode you know not super quick but I'm just saying like bone wants to get the fuck out of here.
No, it's just, we've, we've both got busy days. What are you doing today? We have a call.
Oh, right, right. I have to go do VO.
I have to go to pitch and then figure out my week. Oh, right.
And then I have to go to, um, a benefit tonight that the one, the only Carrie Mulligan and Mumford and sons are hosting. They host this every year, the wassail through their charity work.
Forgive me. Is there a connection between Carrie Mulligan and Mumford and Sons? Is she married to one of them? She's married to Marcus Mumford.
She's married to, so she's Carrie Mumford? She's Carrie Mumford. That would make her even more British to me.
Well, oh, then Mulligan's a pretty British name. Absolutely, but there's something about Carrie Mumford, which is even more British.
You can hear it. She would immediately get Dame status if she were to change her name to her legal married name of Mumford.
Carrie Mumford, she'd become Dame Carrie Mumford. You think her keeping her own name is what's keeping her from the Dameamehood? No, I'm just saying that she would immediately elevate, like, I feel like Carrie Mumford, there's something about it that says dame to me.
Carrie Mulligan is also a dame. She might just have to wait a little bit longer than Carrie Mumford.
I feel like Marcus Mumford, great. Carrie Mulligan, the first time I heard that name, I went, like well whoever this fucking person is i stand and then best believe i went to go see an education by myself in college you know i remember you being very affected by an education in fact i remember when you made your instagram bio i am as pretty as carrie mulligan please confirm she's i've always adored this person so i I just have a busy day.
That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.
But I don't want to truncate this episode. I love spending time with you, of course.
Yes, clearly. So what else is in the culture I'm asked? Let's talk about the shooter, please.
You want to talk about the shooter? Hello, everyone. This is Matt.
Just jumping in here quickly to say that we recorded this episode and then about an hour later, they did catch the shooter. Yeah, so this episode is going to be a little bit of a time capsule to a time when we did not know who this person is and the internet was not absolutely flooded with commentary about him.
So enjoy a trip back into time.

Just incredible. The Monopoly money in the backpack.

Oh yeah. What was that about?

He's just like pranking and trolling the cops.

Yeah.

It's amazing. It's incredible.
It's also so fucking bleak that NYPD is basically like the third biggest army in the world and cannot track down a killer, call a spade a spade. Shooter has killed someone with an unusual weapon and a silencer that is meant to kill livestock that is meant to kill pigs specifically which is also another poetic layer to this and they can't find him makes you think is this the conspiracy episode jesus christ apparently they found someone in pennsylvania with ammunition and fake ids that match the description of the shooter and they are questioning him now but I mean for basically six days as of this recording like this guy just hopped on a bus at the Port Authority.
It's amazing. Damn.
Well the Port Authority is incredibly hard to navigate for anyone. Absolutely.
Like even people that really are from New York like, like, you get why even NYPD is like, now wait, where am I going? Because the Port Authority is tough. The signage, ooh.
The signage, it's all just very confusing. You know, he does look a little bit like Chalamet.
Chalamet, yes. I feel like he has this Sebastian Stan quality to him.
Mm. You know, from that angle, just a darkness but a charm, much like Sebastian.
A darkness but a charm. Mm-hmm.
Darkness but a charm is title of that. A darkness but a charm.

My mother's initials are MS for Miss Mom. Miss Mama.
And mine are KR for Crazy Lady Who Raised a Crazy Son. Visit Pandora in-store or online at Pandora.net.
Okay, let's talk about Arrow's tour. It's an end of an era.
Did you watch any of it? I watched her final bow in the speech that she gave at the end which was very very touching very beautiful yeah no announcement no reputation TV announcement no Taylor Swift TV announcement I thought because I was watching the surprise songs and when she started with A Place in This World I was like oh here we go it's happening I was, we're going to see it matched up with something from Rep. Then she went another way.
It was kind of cool how in the acoustic section, she was able to pretty much get all of the eras in there. I loved New Year's Day.
New Year's Day. Ending on the manuscript with, the story isn't mine anymore.
I was like, Jared actually, I was texting it with Jared, and he said in all caps, she's going to end on, but the story isn't mine anymore. I was like, Jared actually, I was texting it with Jared and he said in all caps, she's going to end on but the story isn't mine anymore.
Watch. And then she did.
True Taylor Swift seer, Jared Frieder. Prognosticator, Jared Frieder.
Yeah. Absolutely.
He holds that title well. Yeah, he did it.
He did it on that one. I don't know.
I guess now the re-releases are stretched into the new year and something we did not think would happen. No.
Reflections on the Ares tour, reflections on maybe probably the... I can't imagine this getting replicated anytime soon.
No. I actually was wondering, I was like, what does her next tour look like? Like, does she just album again like it like it it was that's gonna be something she's in her mind totally does she do like a lover fest-esque thing where she does like a few cities but many dates but then does that feel like not even as expansive nearly as expansive as era's tour you know when you say that like lover fest that me feel like, what if she did do her own like three-day festival? She could do that.
Like she's in industry enough where she could like do a Coachella all of her own, where it's like she had opening acts on each day for three days and then came out like and did three shows in a row. And it was like, that seems to me like the next way someone like as like industrial and as,

you know,

prolific as her,

like that she could do something like that because that community would

absolutely descend on Indio.

Totally.

But it feels like,

I mean,

how many people ended up being,

what was the total sort of like reach or sales?

I know it's 2 billion, but it's like how many people ended up seeing her, how many people ended up seeing her total? I'm like, how like, does she want to outdo that? But in like that sort of like festival format, it's, it's interesting. She has a lot of ways to go.
And, um, I just, I think she would do the festival like in multiple locations and travel with that, but not be quite as like, um, I know like three dates here three dates here like you know something something with a different flavor flavor flavorful new festival touring what if album 12 was called flavorful oh my god the flavorful era i've been thinking for a very long time about flavors and how my favorite flavor could not be narrowed down to just one. I love the cherry flavor.
I even love grape. And no one likes grape.
When someone... Can I...
Let me stop everything right now. When someone's favorite flavor is grape...
What? What do you do? Run for the hills. They're the killer.
They're the CEO killer. Trust me.
When they find

the CEO killer and they interrogate him

and they slam their hands down on the table with their two

palms like this,

and they say, that's your favorite flavor!

He's going to say, grape!

Grape, okay? And they're going to

be like, you sick fuck.

Go to the chair.

Go to the chair. Fry him.

Fry this grape lover. Fry this grape lover.
Hold on. Now let's back up.
The flavors tour. What flavor is each era, go? Oh my God.
This is so fun. Okay.
Debut is vanilla. No, I love vanilla.
I did not mean to, I love vanilla. I get very excited about vanilla.
I order it often. I mean, okay.
These are all like first thought. I'm shooting from the hip.
Fearless. Like a honey.
Yeah, like a little honey yogurt with some chia seed. Yum.
Yummers. Yummers.
And then speak now, I'm going to say is like a gold leaf berry cheesecake. Wow.
You're being very artisanal about this. Mm-hmm.
And then. Continue to be so.
Thank you. Red.

Can you go back to 1989 and give it another one? I shouldn't have interrupted you. I should shut the fuck up.
No, no, no. You're okay, girl.
I'm going to say 1989 is... Blue Gatorade.
Holy fuck. Haterade.
No, no, no. I love blue Gatorade.
Oh, are you kidding me?

Me too, a lot.

Did you ever go to a football game in high school and put a little vodka in your blue Gatorade?

Honey, the cops are coming to your Austin hotel room.

Arrest this man.

We think he had too much fun in high school.

Two hands down on the table.

Toss your favorite flavor.

Blue Gatorade with a little vodka. him to the chair but kiss me first wait it's no this is the final 1989 flavor this is the flavor that I'm gonna lock in give it Diet Coke flavor, and perfect.
It's like, you could listen to it every day. You could taste it.
I could have it every day. Can I tell you something? Before you say the rest of your flavors, last night at Wicked in Austin, Texas, where everything, and let me stress this, is bigger.
Is bigger. I had, I ordered a large Slurpee, as I want to do was bigger than My head I swear to you The Coke Slurpee was this big I'm literally doing it I'm shaking Okay Bowen So was I because I was a little get this Stoned I had a 10mg edible for the film I had never seen Wicked really high Wizard of Eye took me on a ride I think I cried again it's my favorite number I was physically shaking because I drank this huge had to be had to be 90 ounces of coke slurpee to the head so fast because I was so excited during the beginning of the movie

that I literally, I was like,

am I having an anxiety at Sack

or did I drink my coke slurpee too fast?

I was shaking.

I could feel Jordan, my bases next to me,

being like, are you okay?

I was like, yeah.

I don't think any of that is medically advisable.

I had to tell myself to calm down.

I was like, Matt, stop.

Because then I started to get like,

I think I got too high and drank the coke slurpee too fast because. I was like, Matt, stop.
Because then I started to get like, I think I got too high and drank the Coke Slip with two of us. Because then I was like afraid of the movie.
I was like, you've seen it. It's also wicked.
Well, you know what? I'm about due for like a, ooh, I got too high moment. Well, just in terms of THC, I'm like, whoa, like I need that.
It honestly was very humbling because I didn't think I could still get there. Right did I get there I was like Jesus Christ I feel like you're a tank usually I am but I'll tell you who's a bigger tank is that Henry Kapursky character the weed that he and Ethan have my god where did you get it that's them being upstate wearing little beanies or I don't know, toques.
They haven't been there in so long.

They live in LA now.

But that's the vibe.

And they can vouch for this for themselves.

100% they can.

They're forever giving upstate.

You've corrected it to Diet Coke.

Diet Coke.

So Cotton Candy is lover. I totally agree.

Every time I think of a Cotton Candy, I think

excuse me, why is it like it's been a long time coming? Right. It's been a long time coming, but...
And then folklore, I'm going to say, is... Mmm.
Um... Coffee.
Yeah. This is the thing.
Folklore is like a summer, summer Negroni.

Ooh.

Something deep, but also kind of open.

I've never heard of that ice cream flavor.

Summer Negroni.

Yeah.

You need to open up an ice cream shop.

Do you have the bandwidth?

Yeah, totally.

I got, you know, that's what the call is later in the day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're calling about our ice cream shop.

And then Evermore is going to be like a holiday.

Hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Like a holiday.

Like a holiday.

Yes.

Yes.

Like a dark Christmas stout.

A dark Christmas stout.

That's fun.

Tis the damn season.

And then Midnight's, I'm say is ooh is it on the nose for it to be like lavender or something like is it on the nose no no no not on the nose I think it's like um lavender has some dairy in it magnesium like kind of like concoction, like something you're like, I want to knock the fuck out in a healthy way. But it's midnight, you know? She put narcotics into all of her cream.
And that's why you're sleeping

in a dream.

Ooh.

Can you talk about Tortured Poets and what flavor it is?

Tortured Poets is

hospital

hospital potato.

Holy shit.

Like a hospital. No, no, no.

Like, yeah, like um Yeah like Hospital mash Hospital mash I don't agree with this This is the only one I'm gonna come out Hard against Go What do you want I think Tortured Poets Is like mint chocolate chip Oh interesting Rocky Road Because of the road That comes out At the top of The Eris Tor portion Oh Interesting Oh, interesting. And it was a rocky road, the relationship with Matty Healy, you understand.
Absolutely, I understand that. And for a fortnight, there we were.
Which, by the way, suddenly is my favorite song on the album. How did it happen? That's just Taylor for you.
Sneaky songwriting. Now, my question to you is, name the next album and what's the flavor? The next era and flavor, I think she's going to really try to go for Asian.
Asian Taylor. Asian Pear? Asian Pear is the flavor and I think the album will be called Asian.
You should take her to Tokyo with you. Yes! Taylor never did...
Yes, she did. She did Tokyo.
No, but what I'm saying is she never did yellow face like these other girls. She never race baited like these other girls.
She never really went there. And now we're in a post-political we're in a post-political landscape.
Post-political landscape. No one cares anymore.
Do yellow face again, girls. Who cares? Oh, God.
Come out with your unconditionally performances at the... What performance was that? That was at the VMAs or the AMAs? That was the AMAs.
By the way, guess what was confirmed for me? What? Club 33 is where Katie and Taylor had their falling out. Who gave you the confirmation? Can you say? I cannot say on this microphone, on this beloved, critically acclaimed, widely listened to a podcast, how I know, but it was told to me that that is the truth.
Oh my God. By someone in the dance community.
I'll say that. And then that was the whole sort of crux of the conflict, as we know.
Mm-hmm. Interesting, interesting, interesting.
Again, it's all alleged because me coming on here saying confirm, like, I know what the fuck I'm talking about. I'm just saying it's now come from several different sources who claim to know that definitely something went down with a glass of milk at Club 33.
There was a breakdown in humor and communication between the two pop stars who were there at the

same time. And after that is when the She Tried to Sabotage on an Arena Tour went down.
And even if it's not true, it is fun to think about how that happened at Disneyland. It's fun to think about gosh like huge world shifting events start at Club 33.
Absolutely. And then what I'm trying to say is like, it can happen anywhere.
It can happen with anything, a glass of milk. It can happen with a kind gesture you give to someone, a smile at the grocery store.
Yes. These are wonderful things.

Excluye Hawái. You know what? I am back on my reading.
And Gia Tolentino gave her top books of the year. Tell us about what they are.
They are Rejection by Tony Tullethamudi. They are Limitarianism, which is, I forget the author's name, but she's basically writing about how she's making a case for how it's a very common sense thing, actually.
It's like we should just limit wealth. We should limit extreme wealth.
Rather than eradicate poverty, we should limit wealth. Anyway.
And then third book is Charlotte Shane.

She's a sex worker and she's writing about like how she like fell in love.

It's very like,

it's kind of giving a Nora.

It's like how she fell in love with,

or like maybe how she fell in love with like one particular person. But right now I'm on rejection by Tony Tullett,

the Moody.

So readable,

but like Gia Tolentino saying is out here saying,

this is one of the greats.

He's written the craziest, most amazing virtuosic endings to a short story ever. Ever.
It's giving fucking Flannery O'Connor, bitch. It's giving Raymond Carver, bitch.
And I'm reading this. I'm going, we all need to be reading this.
Lost Culture Book Club is in effect. Matt, you would love this stuff.
You would love this. It is all about- it's called rejection it's short stories and it's the thread is as you would assume like moments of modern rejection and how we all see each other as instruments on the internet and not as human beings and how one moment of rupture and rejection will then shape a person's entire worldview going forward and i'm like this is i've not read something this relevant in a long time.
And I really encourage you all to read it. But Gia, we stan you.
I also- 100% Iconic 400 member, member of the Hall of Fame. Gia did reach out and tell me that the legendary Zadie Smith was personally hurt that she was not on the iconic 400 and that she

doesn't feel like she is cool enough to be on the iconic 400. We are here to say Zadie, if you're listening, you are a legend for all time.
You are absolutely in the realm of the iconic 400. And we are so sorry that we left you out if you feel excluded, but you are a fucking genius.
Zadie Smith,

white teeth, more like

big legend. More like

big legend more like big legend that's actually rule of culture number 8 Zadie Smith, white teeth more like big legend if you appeared on a summer reading list from my middle school well actually let me take that back because I can't say that everyone that appeared on my summer reading list in my middle school is a legend. But if your name is Zadie Smith, it is.
Zadie Smith. Swing time.
More like slay bitch. Let me say something, Bo.
Let me say something to you right now. Zadie Smith, on beauty, more like on business.

Oh, my God.

Zadie Smith, NW, more like kiss kiss.

We kiss you.

Zadie Smith, the autograph man, more like the iconic woman.

God, you're so good at this. Zadie Smith, the fraud.
More like the sensation. Zadie Smith, changing my mind.
More like making me horny. Zadie Smith, the wife of Willisden.
More like the writer of dreams. Period.
We, I think, made up for it right there. Zadie, I hope that you feel as though, even though I can't believe that you think this could validate you any more than, like, you are a legend.
Isn't it ridiculous how you have, I mean, these are all finalists. This is the thing.
We don't realize that the finalists, sometimes the finalists are, they just want to be in on it. But there is a place for you.
You're literally a finalist. There's a place for us.
Somewhere is a place for us. Okay, wait.
Can you talk about who I'm calling Sexy, Funny, Kind Paul? Sexy, Funny, Kind Paul. Yes.
This is one of our great talents. Paul Meskel, of course.
What a lovely, lovely man. And I wish him nothing but the best for the future.
he is someone who has always delivered things of devastating beauty

and man and I wish him nothing but the best for the future. He is someone who has always delivered things of devastating beauty and he certainly gave us that in experience and in content and performance and comedy on SNL season 50 episode 8.
Wow I really like the way you said all that. what I thinking as well In addition is that he Looked like he was having fun Which is my note As a viewer to all the hosts Is like you gotta have fun You gotta have fun Jump in Splash around I feel like when they're terrified You can see it Don't say say yes to it if you're scared.
But I don't blame them if they're terrified. I don't blame them at all.
And what a fun time. I mean, a great show for the guys and the girls.
Heidi was amazing in this episode, I thought. Heidi is incredible.
I really liked when she said, Shabusi, I'm about to show my Shabusi. I actually couldn't believe it made it on the air.
I was like, that's when you remember this is on late. Adult humor.
Adult humor. Shout out to the cast.
I really love this cast. I'm having a love affair with the cast.
Are you having a good time this year? Having a great time this year and Andrew Dismukes, the king, you are. Oh, I love Andrew Dismukes.
James Austin Johnson, the king, Chloe Fineman, the queen, Aga Wodum, the queen, Sarah Sherman, you know how I feel about you. I still actually feel like...
No, Sarah's coming back soon. I was going to say because, because I took the one episode where I was taking a break and like,

then I turned around and you booked the legend for the week.

I was like,

I did not mean to do that.

No,

it wasn't anything that you did.

I was just like,

cause I remember saying to you then I was like,

we need to book her again ASAP.

And so now is the time we need to squirm back because who more do we want to

hear about Salt Lake City then,

then the squirm.

No.

And then she also has the encyclopedic knowledge to remind us all that

I'm going to go. because who more do we want to hear about Salt Lake City then than the squirm? No, and then she also has the encyclopedic knowledge to remind us all that Carlton cursed Kyle Richards' computer or something.
Wait, Sarah, I also heard Sarah's out here claiming that she loved Angie Kay before everyone else. That's not true.
It's not true at all. Burn the witch.
Fuck her. No, no, no.
It actually is true because Sarah Celestium and I were at, Sarah and Celestium were my guests for the Watch What Happens Live that I did with Angie Kay. It was Angie Kay's first Watch What Happens Live.
Oh, I remember well, yes. And I remember going into that Watch What Happens Live thinking, I've told the story a million times, but I was just like, oh, Angie Kay, whatever, sure.
Yeah. But then I went in and was just so utterly charmed charmed her electra and sean i was like this is a beautiful family and then sarah celeste and i were like wait we stan angie now and ever since it's been we've been only been validated we love you angie k so much angie it has been a joy and this by the way hasn't by way, her being in conflict so intensely with Meredith has not lessened my love for Meredith Marks at all.
Meredith, thank you for your service. We love you.
We appreciate you. And all the ladies of Salt Lake City, it's just that in the totality, while your personal experience may be bad, it is an incredibly enjoyable experience to watch Angie K.
Rise. I reached out to Andy about it.
I was like, Andy, have you ever been so blown away by the rise of a housewife? And he confirmed he is ecstatic with Angie K. And he told me this is an exclusive.
Andy told me that the rest of the season stays this good and that the finale and the reunion both are, in his words,

stellar and deliver.

That is something that we as an audience did not, I would say,

expect given the

explosive finale last year.

I think we're in for something just

as good in a different way.

By the way, can I also say, I would invite

Brittany back. Brittany is

also charming. Brittany is also charming.

Brittany's good.

Brittany gives you a very specific function on the show.

Yes.

She's very good.

With her high body count hair.

She has high body count hair.

Her TikToks are getting crazy, Becca says.

In what way, Becca?

Elaborate on how Brittany Bateman's TikToks are getting crazy.

Okay, I had a comment like for this. Basically, she is a secret theater kid and she loves to sing.
She's been just doing these wicked singing videos. Becca, not too much on theater kids.
Let me just warn you right now. I am like a closet theater kid for sure.
But it's just been crazy. People are like, girl, get off this app.
Stop singing. Like, we don't want to hear you sing.
Oh, no, no, no. Don't follow her.
Don't silence Brittany Bateman singing. I'm just on my 40 page, but the comments are mean.
It makes me sad. No.
Oh, see, look. But she is posting a lot.
A lot of singing. She's got a beautiful voice.
She does. Let her sing.
She's an amazing voice. She is one of our great Disney cast members.
Disney. She was Disney World.
She was Orlando. That makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, she definitely was like truly playing the lead roles, like the ingenue roles of the Disney girls.
I just like her because I love anyone who says, I have never been so offended in my life. In a tone like that.
What about me? Hey, you guys this this is crazy what about me it's it's funny because she's saying these big statements like i have never been so offended in my life but this is the register like a disney princess yes yes yes i refuse to raise my voice in a way that will harm it hey i have never been so offended in my life i'm crying crying. You said that I sleep with 10 guys.
10 guys. I said three.
Three guys. Three guys.
That did bother me though. And I'm sorry.
I got to put Bronwyn on the block again. You have been coming from Bronwyn.
I really, God, it's like. You're not a Bronwyn fan.
These tiny tweaks to the truth add up and it is it is a form of I don't know like not to say the word it is a form of G of gas gaslighting I'll say it for you she went back to this she did and like for her to immediately fuck over Britney like that in that moment I'm'm like, you think you're being fun and messy, but it's actually like, it's too hyper aware of the cameras. Meanwhile, Angie Kay is perfectly, perfectly situated in her awareness.
All right, here's what I'll say. I get calling out Bronwyn for her behavior, which was definitely a little scorched earth.
Like, fuck it. I'm feeling like I'm throwing my hands off and just starting fires to start fires.
But had she not, we would not have gotten Angie Kay getting kicked out by Meredith Sicardi. We wouldn't have a lot of the stuff.
We wouldn't have had high body count hair had Bronwyn not made moves in that moment. So I don't know.
Like was Bronwyn,

was she chaotic evil in that moment?

Yes.

Was it net good for the episode?

Yes.

She thinks she's chaotic evil.

She doesn't have it.

And listen,

like,

so you know how like you can sum up a guy's vibe by saying that he's a

hello m'lady.

Like,

I think she's a, take several several seats I think that's her she's a white lady saying take several seats exactly she did say woo child at one point and I go alright know. That's quite enough.
Is Wu Child not something a white woman from Salt Lake can say married to a man named Todd? I don't think so. Well, I don't know.
Clean up the dog, Dookie, in your house first before you dip into the vernacular. Remind me, are all her dogs named after Breaking Bad characters? I don don't know what show is it i there's some show that her first episode we have to find this out bronwyn newport dog names can we just get honestly that should just be the title of episode bronwyn newport dog names okay oh house of cards how They're all House of Cards characters.

It's so funny to me.

Is there not a darkness with no charm

there? Listen. Your charm.

I am not a Bronwyn hater. I'm actually

a Bronwyn fan. I'm a Bronwyn Newport fan.

I think Bronwyn Newport is exactly

the type of real housewife.

She's here to stay.

And I'm great with that.

I just... She's your villain of the show.
She's your stay and i she is here to stay and i'm great with that i just she's your villain of the show she's your she's your villain absolutely she is absolutely she is and um but look that means that means she's doing well like she means we got a villain love it i love it and angie k in the one spot look i'm not out here being a full bronwyn hater i just you know it's it like, you know, people feel strong things about these people. And I feel like I have an insight into that.
Like, however people feel about, it's like SNL cast members. It's like, we're just comedians.
You know? Yeah, and these are just housewives. But, you know, have your opinion.
That's what makes the world go round. Discourse.
It's actually rule of culture number 31. That's what makes the world go round.
Discourse. I gotta ask, was there a vibe between you and Jake Shane on Therapussy? A vibe? Like a sexual vibe? I think people have reached out to me and said, they're flirting.
We had a very brotherly vibe. I am extremely warm to him, and I think he'd be a fabulous guest on this podcast.
He would be a fabulous guest on this podcast. This is my thing.
So this is a phenomenon now because you even saying that I had a vibe with Sean Evans, I'm like, oh, what's going on here? Like, I think there's a lot of suffusion from the outside in being like, there's a vibe. And I'm like, no, there wasn't.
Same with you and Jake, same with me. And, um, I was on Katya's podcast, who's the asshole.
And everyone was like, there was a vibe. And I'm like, no, I think we were just being two gay guys.
I don't think that, in fact, I established pretty quickly up top. I was like, cause I do feel this way about him.
He's like a little brother to me. I was like, I see him out here.
He can't, cause of two reasons. He can't help it.
Yeah. And he doesn't know his words, but he does know his heart.
And I've been seeing him out here. He does know his words.
I find him very smart, very funny. And he's so interesting.
I stand. I love Jake.
I had the best time on that podcast. And you should listen to it if you haven't, therapists.
But I told him, I was like, you need to come on Lost College because Bowen adore you oh i love him i was supposed to go i was supposed to do it when i was in la but i just didn't have time oh yeah it's it's a must you would have a fabulous episode with him and i can't wait to welcome him to the pod because allegedly are you coming to los angeles not until feb probably but you are coming in feb i so. When is all of the cool SNL stuff happening in February,

like the radio city of it all?

Is that announced?

It is.

February 16th.

The week of...

So I guess it's the week of February 10th.

But then I would have to be back in New York for that week.

That might be right after I wrap a thing

and I might be able to come.

Could be fun.

They're not giving us plus ones.

Oh, okay.

Well, I didn't think so. I mean...
Because it's literally like a million people. No, yeah, of course.
Yeah. I meant, by come, I meant come to New York and do my own thing.
That's what I actually had meant by that. I just meant that I could see you like maybe a couple days after once you're down and everything.'s what I meant when I said that I can't I can't oh okay well you have my information and you know I want to pitch to the readers I had an idea to do an entire episode of this podcast which is as if Bowen and I were meeting for the first time yes Yes, I think that's a great episode.
And then that's a full first date vibe. Not like romantic date, but just our first time meeting.
Well, I don't know, Bo. You just took it off the table.
Damn. Oh my god.
No way. Well, now we have to do it.
The way you just took it right off the table. Well, RPKFs, let us know what you think of that premise.
I think that could be very fun. I think we have to film it.
I come in and I'm like, hi, it's so nice to meet you finally. I've heard the best things.
I am a fan. Or should I come in and not know you at all? And I sit down and it's just like, so tell me what you do.
And then you tell me you're on SNL and I have to react to that. Right.
And then you tell me about No Good Deed. And then I go, what was Lisa Kudrow like? And I will tell you all the tea.
I think that could be very funny. It comes out tomorrow, you guys.
If you're listening to this on Wednesday. So excited.
No Good Deed comes out, I guess tonight at midnight. It's going to be so great.
And I get this. So I went to the premiere.
It was the night of my first show in LA. And that was a busy day, but I really wanted to make time to go to the premiere for two reasons.
One, I'm so proud of it and wanted to celebrate it. And two, I found this shirt that I loved.
I was thrifting with Greta on Melrose. And we walked into this place called Lost Days.
And I found this shirt, this like silk blue shirt with skulls on it. And I was like, oh, I love this shirt.
And they were like, come on now, get the card out. And I said, all right, I think I have somewhere to wear it.
And I really wanted to wear it. And I got to wear it.
So I was at the premiere and I said to Lisa Kudrow, I said, listen, I don't know if you do podcasts, but if you do, like Bone and I would absolutely love to have you on the podcast. And she goes, okay, yeah.
In her Lisa way. That's so Lisa.
She's like, yeah, okay, cool. Let's do it.
I was like, yay! Yeah, sure. Putting it out there.
And I talked to Linda who said, she was like, you know, I was going to have that be my first podcast, but you were out of town. I was like, okay, we'll figure that out too.
Linda. It would be Linda's first podcast.
She does. Well, because when we were on set, she asked about the podcast.
She's so nice. By the way, like, you know, I actually think out of everyone on the cast, the person I was the most gagged for was actually Linda Cardellini.
Like, I I told her at the end of shoot when I had, I only have one scene with her. It's actually in the first episode, but I told her at the end when we were done, I was like, this was so cool.
I am such a fan. And she was like, stop like that.
So kind. But she had asked about the podcast and asked about you.
And she asked him when we had started and stuff. And I was like, you know, we would love to have you.
And she was like, well, you know, I don't really do a lot of podcasts. And I was like, totally respect that.
Like she is the character actress. Like she's just so fucking good, et cetera.
But she goes, I was going to do the podcast. I was actually going to do a podcast for like the first time.
And I was like, well, we have to make it work. So putting that out there as well putting out their four names Linda Cardellini Lisa Kudrow Lady Gaga and Celine Dion and Angie K should Angie K be the third housewife ever on the pod yes should we try to figure that out for next week yes Angie K virtual episode This is officially a call out.
We hope it happens.

If not, no worries, King. Becca is on.

Mother's love deserves a gift like no other. Celebrate her love, strength, and style with heartfelt jewelry from Pandora.
From iconic charms to sparkling necklaces, rings, earrings, and more. There are so many ways to say thank you, Mom.
So on Mother's Day and every day, tell her how much she means to you with a gift from Pandora. Now, Bowen, one of the best things about Pandora is you can personally engrave.

And that's why I love a personal engravement.

My mother's initials are MS for Miss Mom.

Miss Mama.

And mine are KR for Crazy Lady Who Raised a Crazy Son.

Visit Pandora in-store or online at pandora.net. I think it's time for I think so too Because I think this episode Ended up going even longer than Bowen wanted it to go.
Because he had expressed earlier wanting to be really short, but then I think he had so much fun with me. I did.
I always love my girl, my sister. I'm excited to see you this weekend.
I'm going to go to SNL. Yes.
For Gracie. I love Gracie.
Gracie, congratulations on her. I love her.
And all your success. Okay.
Do you want to go first? Because we already know what yours is. Yeah, I do.
I do. I do.
All right. So this is, this is, I don't think so, honey, Bowen Yang.
And by the way, I don't think so, honey, is a one minute segment segment where we rail and rant against something in pop culture that we just don't find savory. And this is Bowen Yang's I don't think so, honey, as time starts now.
I don't think so, honey. Giselle Bryant.
Ooh, I should have known that you could not have maintained my goodwill, much less the wider, greater goodwill of the people, which is the audience that watches your show, The Real Houses of Potomac, for very long. I enjoyed the time we had.
I enjoyed this little period. But you, God, having the fucking curse of talking to Robin Dixon on the regular and saying actual lies about our friend Joel Kim Booster, actual documented lies.
and we've seen the receipts and the proof that um that since whatever there's just proof that you not even like twisted the truth a little bit you full-on made shit up about this whole situation between you 15 seconds about his fucking genitalia like don't do that like i'm not gonna talk about your kids i'm not gonna talk about your body don't fucking talk about my friend like that. You fucking succubus.
I'll call you that. You're a demon from the mouth of hell, and I hate you.
And that's one minute. Certainly interesting for her to go on and on about body shaming and then get on her podcast and talk about the size of someone's penis on a television show.
You are a total loser. You're a loser, period.
Like, like get out i was enjoying her on the show doesn't me too and i watched it i was like cut out the giselle stuff i don't really care i really don't care how is she allowed to just say that on her podcast like no one's gonna say anything about that well whatever like your ugly ass house enjoy it's It's still not finished. Yeah, she really got on that podcast and actually said those things.
It's crazy. It is completely insane.
Over a situation that she wasn't even involved in. Like, that was between Joel and Shannon Bedore.
Which, you know, maybe it shouldn't have been to begin with but Joel knows that Joel knows that and look like everyone is going through their own shit but also like Giselle you're lying to your loser friend and we've seen the proof that you say one thing and do another and you're lying to your fucking stupid ass friend Robin Dixon who could not keep a job on that show because she was bad God listen okay do you have one do I have one um yeah okay I have one okay this is Matt Rogers I don't think so honey his time starts now I don't think so honey ravioli the way now. I don't think so, honey.
Ravioli, the way I always think you're going to be better than you actually are, and you're very easy to fuck up. It's extremely easy to overcook ravioli, as I find out very often.
And here's the thing. I'm not saying I don't think so, honey.
The good ravioli. If you're the good ravioli out here, I'm not talking to you.
You continue to be fabulous. What I'm talking about is I don't think so, honey.
These raviolis that are a little bit overcooked and especially when you bite into it and you get that mealy feeling. You know what I'm saying? I don't think so, honey, ravioli.
I trusted you. I really opened my heart up to trust.
I opened my heart up to trust you, ravioli. And then guess what? You failed me.
And also, it's not the first time food has failed me in the past week. Because here I am in Austin, Texas, and I had a bad taco? No.
Are you serious? I'm supposed to come here and eat the good tacos and I had a bad taco? Five seconds. Good taco.
Psych. It was a bad taco.
I don't think it's funny these foods. That's one minute.
You really went into a Brittany Bateman there. I've never been so offended in my life.
That's how I talk now that I'm a singer. Singer.
Oh my God. Bad taco, bad ravioli.
Well, first of all, I like how you backpedaled on that. I'm not talking about the good ravioli.
I'm talking about the bad one. Well, I guess it should have been, I don't think so, honey, a bad ravioli featuring bad taco in Austin.
No, you know what? It should have been, I don't think so, honey, I had a bad taco in Austin. That was crazy.
That's crazy. It was a little bit of like spinach and feta.
And I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie.
And can I say something? And I want to compliment

the Delta Lounge because you know what they've

added and I do think this was your power?

Scrambled eggs. Have you noticed

this? I have.

Delta Lounge has been slaying lately.

But I'm just saying

the ravioli. There was a ravioli

moment in the Delta Lounge that I believed

the ravioli was a little overcooked.

And that's as privileged as I'm going

to get on this episode. I want to say

something. I want to put out there, bring back

Thank you. in the Delta Lounge that I believe the ravioli was a little overcooked.
And that's as privileged as I'm going to get on this episode. I want to say something.
I want to put out there, bring back meat or protein filled. I mean, I guess cheese counts, but I'm saying like, I want meaty ravioli.
I would like that. We can restart a conversation.
Yeah, but I want Chef YRD inspired ravioli, red sauce, meat, shards of meat. And then- Shards of meat.
What was the taco? What was the taco filling? It was just a chicken taco. I mean, can I be honest with you? The chicken tacos were fine.
It was the quesadilla actually that really disappointed me. I was like, wait a second, this amateur hour quesadilla.
Anyway,

I won't say from where.

I don't want to burn down a business.

You know,

I actually have been really,

I went to Rainy Street in Austin.

I remember the last time I was here,

I was like,

what the fuck happened to Rainy Street?

But Rainy Street's kind of back.

There was live music happening.

Everywhere was open.

The bars seemed popping

and had that Austin flavor.

I'm actually going to my favorite restaurant tonight,

which is called Anthem.

And you know who I'm seeing tonight? Chrissy Shackleford. Oh my god, Chrissy! Wait, she's in her hometown.
Yes, she gets the dream life. She gets to live in the city she loves, Austin.
And have her family. And also win Emmy after Emmy after Emmy for John Oliver.
And give, if you're lucky on one year, the acceptance speech. She gave the acceptance speech for, I think, Emmys 2021.
Several years ago, yeah. She was eight.
Oh, God. Eight.
We love you, Chrissy Shackelford. She's the best.
We used to work together at the ride. She was my favorite person to work at the ride with.
We met in Story Pirates. We met in Story Pirates.
Remember, we would come here to Austin all the time. I would usually direct those ones, and I would put together my dream cast.
It was you, Chrissy, Rachel Winnitski,

Henry on Keys. And then

Chrissy would show us around and

take us to bars and then I think she introduced

me to Torchy's Tacos before they expanded.

Oh my god. Wait, were

you on the Story Pirates trip where I got in the fight with

the taco truck guy?

I seem to remember. Yes.
Yes,

I was there. This is years and

years ago. Because we went to that bar where we played like Cornhole or something.
And then you got into a fight. Yeah, I was there for that.
I went missing because I was really in it with the taco truck guy. Because the taco, I handed the guy a 40 and then he handed me back like $3.
Yes, I was there for this. And I was like, excuse me, like I gave you a lot more money than this.
And he was like, I don't know what you're talking about. Fucker.
I remember being really upset because i was like dirt poor at the time no we didn't have money and i was also drunk and started crying like that was that was giving that was giving 25 years old we were 25 rachel winitski was on that trip too yes she was yes she was that was that was that was an iconic that's a fun group when we used to perform perform in College Station. Yes, College Station.
Oh my God. Texas A&M.
Is that what that is? I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I remember it was like a college campus and I remember putting together like the gayest cast ever to go do our like, and wait, oh wait, what was that? What was this? I remember I... There was a story where I came into the audience and sang.
you came to the audience because you were like the great mother bird and you were like and I played like the bird that was like trying to become a singer or something and then I was not a supportive mother to you I didn't want you to sing oh no I wanted to be a dancer and you had never been a supportive mother to me and then you came from the crowd and you were like I just want to see I want to tell you that I know you're a dancer we need to find that that was so good and all the kids were like, I just want to see, I want to tell you that I know you're a dancer. We need to find that! That was so good, and all the kids were absolutely standing.
