I'm Mangishatigula and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talk to. to scientists, biopunks, curmudgins, blues owners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.
Starting point is 00:01:14 I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. To make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive, How to Live Forever on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Look, man. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Wow. Bowen, look over there. Wow, is that culture? Yes. Oh, goodness. Wow. Las cultureistas. Ding dong, Las Culturistas calling.
Starting point is 00:01:39 You know, actually, we record in this space all the time, and today I went to the wrong floor for some reason. I got to say, we're on the fourth floor here. The third floor here smells like fucking shit. What is going on there? I see all kinds of, I must say this building, I have never been able to characterize it. I don't know what it's zone. owned as, I don't know if it's commercial, residential, industrial. I'm in Sim City up in here.
Starting point is 00:02:06 What is this building? Girl, what is it? Because I see people coming. Tell us in the comments. Tell us in the comments. What's this building? I really don't know. Some of some of producing, Anna and Becca have been, well, Anna especially has been here quite a long time.
Starting point is 00:02:18 This is like a historical podcast building, right? It does feel like a residential building, though, because there's two showers. There are two showers here. I used to get my haircut in this building. What? So it's some sort of multi-purpose... It's a live-work loft. Is that like a live-lap-love?
Starting point is 00:02:37 I think we could write a podcast horror film. Oh, wow. That would be good. And coming from us, they would really believe that. They say, oh, well, they're castors. But I think it's like the old guard of podcasting haunting us. No, no, we've been doing this since 2016. It's the ghost of WTF.
Starting point is 00:02:57 It's WTF. It's, you know, Sarah Canig kind of going, hey. Sarah Canig just shot up out of bed wherever she was and said, what? Well, it's the fourth anniversary of Fire Island, the film. It actually is. It is. Fifth anniversary of us shooting it. Well, almost.
Starting point is 00:03:15 We shot it after Labor Day. Or on the island, but then we shot it in July, I want to say late July, early August. And can you believe the expression is nothing good happens after Labor Day? I can't. It's because it's not true. Yes, our pal is back here. You know who's very excited about this episode? Doug.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Oh, yeah. This is Doug's favorite guest. Yes. I mean, and he's seen it all. He's seen it all in the chair. This is Doug's favorite guest. It's probably your favorite guest out there. Our guest has shown us a new thing that he bought.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Like, sheik, cinch, like snatch pins. Snash pins. Snash pins. You call them, you call them. Snatch pins. That's actually a really good name for it if they're not called that. They should be. Should be.
Starting point is 00:03:58 So what do you say? What do you say? Welcome to the podcast. Jill Kimboister. Oh, thank God. So I used to get my hair cut in this building. And during the pandemic, he would only cut my hair and Zendaya's mom. And the only reason I know this is because one time I was arriving as she was leaving and I sat down and then sharing and said, you know who that is.
Starting point is 00:04:18 And I was like, no. And he was like, that's Zendaya's mom. And we had that relationship for a long time. That's beautiful. But why do you think it was just you two? I think because I had a connection with him and Zendaya's mom
Starting point is 00:04:32 has a connection with Zendaya. Okay, but did you sleep with this man? No, I would never. He's straight. Oh, okay. So, no, I would never, he's straight. It's true.
Starting point is 00:04:46 You've perverted. I have perverted. Converted and perverted. You've perverted. It's actually a front runner for title of that. You've perverted. No, apparently these snatch pins.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Yeah. Women have apparently had access to this technology for a long time. They've been gatekeeping. Snatch pins. Women gate keep all the time.
Starting point is 00:05:05 It's so crazy. It's actually real culture number four. Women gate keep all the time. No, the favorite guest of this podcast is Patty Harrison, followed by Aaron and Josh, and then probably either
Starting point is 00:05:15 like a horse race between me and Sudy. No, no, no. But can I say, and this will piss off those people you just named, you are? I think, and this brings me a great joy to tell you.
Starting point is 00:05:27 are most frequent. Definitely. I think so because you're in the double digits. I've almost done it every year since you've done it. I think this is probably your 10th appearance. Can we find out how many appearances Joel Kimbooster has done on the podcast Last Culture Reesis with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang? You can probably ask AI.
Starting point is 00:05:43 You can probably just ask AI. And it will lie to you. It will lie to you. Go on Duck Duck Go. Yeah, it'll lie to you. It'll say Jill Kimbooster hasn't just been on the podcast. He's been on the podcast many times. Many times.
Starting point is 00:05:53 You got to go to Duck Duck, Go, which is advertised as, oh, it's the one that doesn't have AI, but then you go and there's AI and you got to toggle it off yourself. Oh my God. I got nine. No. That's wrong. No, that's your love. I have nine. You have nine. Is that including the time I guest hosted too? Oh, see? That'll be 10. Oh, we know.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Hold on. I will say it is such a lovely time capsule because, like, we will re-listen to some of those episodes in the car on long drives and stuff like that. And, like, if we have absolutely nothing else to do. if you've done every car game.
Starting point is 00:06:28 It's so crazy. There's a, I think I told you guys this, but the squeeze from the back that episode we recorded in 2019 was where I came on this podcast, fully believing, by the way, it was not a ruse that I was like, I don't think I'm meant to be with anyone, I think I'm supposed to be single forever,
Starting point is 00:06:43 I don't think everybody, I'm very happy now. I will be happy like this forever. I don't think, I think I have decided today that I am no longer seeking partnership. And it's so crazy to listen to, because I remember saying it
Starting point is 00:06:56 and I remember believing it. Well, yes. Do you know what? I saw it. I'm sorry. I saw a little real today. A woman going, it's not that you lock confidence.
Starting point is 00:07:07 It's that your confidence is directed at the wrong thing. You are confident that things will not work out for you. You are confident that you will not meet the right person. You are confident that you will not get this job and your career not be this way.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Redirect it. She goes, if you're looking for your shoes and they're firmly on your feet, of course you're going to keep looking until you realize that you've had it all long. It's Wizard of Oz shit. I was saying Wizard of Oz coded. That is like, that's really
Starting point is 00:07:30 actually, thank you to that woman. Thank you to that woman. For once. She was not gatekeeping, finally, the secret of confidence. There you go. But yeah, it's cute. It's cute. What is J.M.? What is your husband?
Starting point is 00:07:46 Who obviously heard that episode years ago and started planning. He's a very calculated person. Mastermind. That's Taylor song Yeah No I mean It's funny
Starting point is 00:07:59 Mostly he like Notes the fact that he was like Wow y'all really could say anything back then Yeah He always is just like I counted 18 episodes that feature Joel can Wow Including like live shows
Starting point is 00:08:15 Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah Rules of the Global Songbook Yeah yeah yeah All of that I'm always a favorite So are we apparently. We're still sitting here doing it. My favorite episode that we ever recorded, though, was the one on the bed in Fire Island.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Yeah, that was good. That was a good one. I wasn't even supposed to be the guest that day. I just heard you guys talking and came into the room. I think we were doing a culture catch up from Fire Island whilst shooting. And we had just watched the Salt Lake premiere. Yeah. It was of season three, Jun Shaw.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Or two? I think it was the bad one. It was 2021. Three. Three is bad. Do you like Real House of Rhode Island? I love it. You love it. I think it is too soon to tell, obviously, but I would say its trajectory is on the same one that Salt Lake was on. Well, yes, it is, because there is like a criminal element to it. I mean, Liz, right? I've been down the Reddit rabbit hole on this. First of all, I will say a lot of locals are very surprised that Liz would sign up for this show. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:09:21 A lot of people that I know from the area have told me very strange impulse for a woman with sort of rumors surrounding her and known secrets and things like that to sign out. This is a disease that some of these women have. That some of these reality show stars have. Yeah. And thank God. You know, truly.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And thank God for the disease. It's actually real culture number 14. Thank God for the disease. Here's my theory is that these people think, oh shit, things aren't looking good. I should launder my image in some way. I should clean this up however I can and have this lever of control that seems to be in my control by going on the show. Well, what I have seen posited is that, first of all, that boat was not just for fishing.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Right. And they sold the boat so fast. And they, everyone thinks now the show is exactly what you said. It's her trying to go straight. Yeah. But like, it was all so recent that like, girl, you got to sell the boat before the cameras roll. Exactly, exactly. And I want to say, I want to say, I want to say,
Starting point is 00:10:24 I want to say, I want to say allegedly to all of that. I was going to say, maybe we should call the episode allegedly so that everyone knows that everything under the umbrella of this episode is allegedly. So you actually can't to us. You're actually not allowed. And see, we do still say shit we want to say. I will say, um, Alicia is breakout star of the last, of any Bravo show that's premiered.
Starting point is 00:10:50 100% I mean everything she says Don't say all that Because you know we all have a new friend And her name is Mia Oh yeah I thought you guys said Lindsay Hubbard as well We love Lindsay Hubbard
Starting point is 00:11:02 And Mia of course If you had told me four years ago That I would be Defending and writing hard For Lindsay Hubbard and the Pope I would have fucking spat in your face And said who are you talking to You're certainly not me
Starting point is 00:11:15 Not not a decade Could never happen And yet here I am because Lindsay Hubbard she's a top 10 in this season. Here's what I would say about Lindsay Hubbard.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Lindsay Hubbard is a top 10 reality show in the year of our Lord 2026. She's in the top 10 of reality show people we have. Now the show is bad.
Starting point is 00:11:34 The impulse was right to center a show around Lindsay. She deserves it. She deserves her own in the city is bad. I don't think it's very good. Sure.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yes, you are entitled to that. I think it is too disper. The relationships are too disparate. And I think not having Carl there is a fucking mistake. I want to see Carl at soft bar. I'm going to softbar. Can we go?
Starting point is 00:11:56 Same. I would love to. Wait, actually, can we, can we make a whole date to go to softbar? Let's all plan a soft bar there. I bet he would love if you had an event there. Why don't we have... Pop up, I don't think so, honey lie. Yeah, pop up.
Starting point is 00:12:10 We should. We should, absolutely. Just like something with the idea of being soft. Hey, guys, this is Matt from the future. And funny story, we actually have... We actually had the Culture Awards viewing party at Softbar. So I just wanted to tell you we did have an event there. Thanks, Carl, and everyone over at Softbar.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Bye. Or back to the episode. Yes. Yeah. Oh, this was going to be my own thing. So, honey, but I don't want to say, I don't want to. Well, that's not time for it. Yeah, you've done the show 42 times.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I have a better one. I have a better one. I don't think so, honey, sending dick picks when you're flaccid. What are you doing? can't even that's giving me no useful information terrible it's crazy a flaccid penis can look like anything well it's it's it's another notch in the sociopath column like oh yeah they'll like this well even though it's flaccid well my theory is they go mine looks pretty good even my looks great even if it's flaccid the narcissistic impulse to share your penis no matter what it's constitution
Starting point is 00:13:12 yeah is something we have to attack i i'm i do not use it any sorts of angles when I send my dick out because I'm under promise over deliver. Yes. And it's like, you're going to see it. It's like lying about anything physical on dating apps. It's like lie about your life, your resume, you know, your family. But don't lie about your height or how big your hands are. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:34 You know? Also, it's like, you know what I'm saying? It's like sometimes I'm like, if you're really sending a limit, I guess he can't show butt because he's a straight guy. Yeah. But if I'm sending a nude, it's always, I'm always. going ass. As first, certainly.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Yeah. And then it depends on the situation. Like, I have different albums for different situations. And one time when we were in Mexico City, not you, when, I don't know why I just referred to Jam as we and he's not here. But anyways, on that trip, I talked to two separate guys on Grindr, one, a bottom, one at top, and then went out and found out they were roommates and were really upset that I was talking to both of them.
Starting point is 00:14:12 And I was like, wow, you got two different versions of me because it's all a performance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all the fools. We're all born naked and the rest is drag. Stop that train is in theaters now. Oh my God, can we talk about it? Sure. I fucking loved it, Matt.
Starting point is 00:14:27 I think everyone's going to love it. Thank you. And I'm going to say something, it's better than it needed to be. Oh, that's beautiful. It's far better than it needed to be. I think that that is true. It wasn't going to be a bad movie because it's Adam Shankman. No, exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:41 But it is like one of those things where like, I don't think everyone, I don't think anyone expected it. It is like to me like as good if not better than the recent naked gun. Like I think like jokes per minute. It's like I was like trying to like catch my breath at times because it's very funny. All the cameos nail it. Yeah. It's really it's one of those like classic disaster parody movies where like the cameos are flying a mile a minute. Yeah. And there you can tell they were all shot like wherever they were. Yeah. Everyone did not. even a day on set, like 45 minutes on set. Yeah. In a way that's beautiful. And for some of them, it was a moment, I had a moment of like, oh, so you can do this. What were you doing on that
Starting point is 00:15:25 fucking show? Like, you know, like, you're all very talented. I know, I know. They're all really talented. You ever talking to a top on the apps and you're like, well, even though I know you're not into it, I am going to show you my dick? You know, I find that most people want to see it. They want to see dick. Yeah. They want to see it. Yeah. Yeah. I actually could give less of a fuck about the, well, have we talked about this before? Almost certainly. You've been on the podcast 6,000 times.
Starting point is 00:15:53 But just like when someone sends dick, I'm not always like... Thrilled. Thrilled. All right, because when it's too big, I'm like, oh, that feels like, well, there's the day. Well, and it's like, it really is,
Starting point is 00:16:05 I feel like sometimes, if they don't send something for scale, it is a little bit like I'm doing proof. Like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, looking at the, I'm looking at the, the door frame and I'm like, okay, that's six foot. And like the angle of what he's doing right now, that's probably, you know, and it's like, it's 11 inches away from his body.
Starting point is 00:16:25 It's really good to have scale when you are talking to someone in a new way. Like I remember when Fraser and I were first texting and sending messages, I wasn't sure how tall he was. And then I saw him take a picture on the step and repeat. I watch what happens live. And I was like, I think he's exactly at the letter I am. And you were doing proof. And then when I met him at Firefly Restaurant,
Starting point is 00:16:44 in Studio City I walked up to him he was sitting at the bar and he turned around and he got up out of the chair and said hello and I said yeah exactly as I suspected
Starting point is 00:16:53 and he was like whoa that was the first thing and I was like you're just as tall as I thought he was like oh okay and then it wasn't and you sound like you are in proof
Starting point is 00:17:02 you sound like the the main girl in proof crazy have you seen Iowa improve I have not I have not gotten to New York to see it yet I have to see her improve I have to see Mateo in Chicago now I have to see
Starting point is 00:17:12 like congrats to our girl yeah Billy Flynn. What? Yeah. Oh my God. I know. I'm so thrilled.
Starting point is 00:17:19 To break the news to you live on. I'm so happy. Yeah, no. It's like, he's gonna kill it. And like, the fact is, it's funny because you,
Starting point is 00:17:27 I think a lot of people forget how multi-talented he is. It feels too easy for him. It's so annoying. He's going to kill it. He's like an opera train. He's an opera train. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Yeah. So, like, there's a lot. I still need to see. I got to see Jalcawal. Oh. I got, you know.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Okay. well, when's the next time you're going to New York? Because we could do soft bar and jellicle. I will be there the first week of July. So we're guest judging Jellicle Ball on the 24th. On June 24th. I'll be, I won't be there yet. Okay, we get to.
Starting point is 00:17:58 That sucks. Yeah. I'd love to see that. Because you know it's also who you get to interact with when you guest judge. That rum-tum-tugger. Sydney hardcore. Run-tug-Tug-Me. Yeah, period.
Starting point is 00:18:09 No, no, it's, it is crazy. It's very serious. Damn, that's the hottest person who's ever looked. crazy. I was going to say, I was thinking about something and then my stop that train and it's lightly connected to Jellicle Ball because it's about like house culture. But like when I said the thing about like, oh, it's way better than it needs to be, I was worried that you would think it was shady.
Starting point is 00:18:30 No, no. And we need to have like a moratorium on and of course I, on the use of the word. Absolutely. It has now become synonymous with insult. Yes. And I think that is, it so dilutes the specialness of the word. And granted, like, I'm, I'm getting this information from people of the culture that created this word.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I have no business speaking on this, but I am anyways, as is my want on a podcast. But, like, the way it was explained to me, and the, and I think this is the perfect distillation of it, is that shade is something you say to someone that they immediately know is an insult. But if they were to try to explain it, word for word, what you said to someone else, they would look crazy. of the crazy. Like, if you said, if I said to you, Bowen and coming in here, like, leave the house in a hurry? Shade.
Starting point is 00:19:18 That's, like, kind of shady. But, like, if you explain that to somebody else. So, Joel was so weird. He said, did you leave the house in a hurry? And I guess that was fine. I'm crazy, aren't I? Well, did you? Shade.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Yeah. You know, you know, it's a good one that I heard. Someone, someone use. God, I always feel so. smarter when I when I leave a conversation with you. God, I always feel so much smarter when I leave a conversation with you. It's like, damn, that's really good. Because if the person's dumb enough, they're like, oh, thank you.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Oh, okay. So, but it's kind of a backhand of compliment. It's backhanded. Yeah, it's like, it should be like, it should be smart and it should be stealth. Yes, yes. The key word here. So people just insult me. Someone just came up and they go, you are so much cuter.
Starting point is 00:20:10 on TV. And I'm like, the way I spun out. I was at Hydrate in Chicago and this guy comes rushing up to me and he was like, oh my God, I'm such a huge fan. It's so cool to see you out. And he's like grabbed me by the shoulders and is sort of like, he's like high. I'm sorry, on Molly or something. And he was
Starting point is 00:20:26 like holding my shoulders and he just goes, I'm such a big fan of you. It's so cool to see you out. Huh. You are way bigger online than you are in person. And I truly, I was like, why would you, like, do not speak on anyone's body when you're first meeting them. Because either way, I did get that also a couple weeks ago. They go, didn't know you'd be fit.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yeah, it's like... Not didn't know you'd be so fit. Just didn't know you'd be fit. Someone in any acceptable shape. You just don't know where someone's at or what they want to look like. And like, because the thing is, is you could come up to me one day and be like, you're looking big. And if I'm like not trying to look big that day, like, you know, it's not a compliment. But you always want to hear you're looking big.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Sure. Yeah. That's not a bad one. Don't listen to him. Don't listen to him. Come up and say you so big. I do know guys who are like, I don't know. Listen, we all have the same disease.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Depends on the area. We all have the same disease, but my dream of dreams is to have someone say anything about me. Let's say if someone were just, like, I did, someone at Coachella was like, God, you're so much, God, you have a much better body in person. And I wanted, I was this close. And I kind of wish I did to be just looking him in the eye and being like, don't talk about my body, you piece of shit. Yeah. Like, I genuinely am like, I think I'm at that point now. I don't care if it comes, if I'm obvious, that's a terrible thing to say to someone.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Right. But that's the point. No. It's like, don't say that. Don't talk about my body. It's like, do not reply. Do not reply. Your intimate is yours and mine is mine.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Why do you care so much to stick I ride? Why? Yes. This is. I'm like, don't talk about my body. No, again, it's like, and then literally that next weekend, J.M.'s parents, were in town and I sat down at lunch for them and his dad was like looking skinny Joel. No.
Starting point is 00:22:15 And again, like for a 60-some year old man from Cleveland, like he thinks that skinny is like, is like good, is like, everybody wants to be skinny. Yeah. And it's like you don't know that I was stick thin for most of my life. Yeah. And that's my insecurity. Yeah. But can I, but can I say, this is me just literally being like, don't, no one talking
Starting point is 00:22:35 me by my body. But I will, I will say you've, you've, you've. indisputably gotten bigger in the time that Matt and I have known. Yeah. But I remember when Matt and I first saw you at, like, when we first met you at ethnic criminalness, we were just like. We already thought you were cute. We were like, oh, I had a crazy hair cut back then.
Starting point is 00:22:53 It was long. It was like true. Yeah, it was so wild. I mean, but you've seen the headshot, right? Oh, you. The hair slicked back? No, no, no, no, no. Your headshot.
Starting point is 00:23:04 My, one of my very first headshots back when I graduated college. Are you doing something like this? Is it the is it the bull cut? It is the genderqueer bull cut. Yes! Can we get this on camera? I do have to say, how do we get this on camera? That's really, really good.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Who is this girl? I don't know. She runs the Starbucks like the Navy. She is. But you know what? She's so nice. No, she is. She's so nice. I can't believe.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I can't believe I ever said this out to professionals and said, this is me. This is me. It's like a what is me? What type? did you think you were? I don't know. But it is true, though.
Starting point is 00:23:43 No one knows how to take a headshot at that age. I remember when I went to get my first professional headshot done, I was 22. I just graduated. And I paid at the time, it was like a $900 photo shoot, which was a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:23:57 That was my rent. And so there was a lot. The guy was very expensive, but he was the good one that you went to. And so for some reason, I decided to have like a goatee and wear a like a like a like a polo underneath a big sweater and I look 44. I was about to say.
Starting point is 00:24:19 And then I shaved and took another picture and I had like a baby face with a white background and I went like this with my eyes and I looked 15. So it's like you got one type and another and I thought, oh good, versatility. No, neither was anything. And that guy took my money and raised. ran to the bank. And then what did he do?

Wait, what was I just about to say? I wonder, can we get a picture of like a 30-year-old John Hamm? I wonder if he started like me. And before he grew into him.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Yes, I understand. And you know, but you know who I used to get all the time? I used to get, because of my hairstyle, I would get Robert Pattinson. Yes. And then I got Jonathan Reese Myers. That's good. No, at the time it was very good because he was like, Bend it like Beckham coated. Remember that one scene where he opens, like she goes to, there's one scene in Bend It Like Beckham where he comes in in a white shirt and you're kind of like, whoa. It's hard because his hair so.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Not no, here. Can you bring that over so we can show the camera? You know what I mean? Is that reading? I know. Honestly, not no. I think you guys have the same like no like nose. That's John Hamm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a young John Hammond. I see that for sure. I think this was friends. I think you have a very similar smile. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Come on. I think it's like it's in the nose. It's in, you know. Have you met him? I have met him. We love him. We love him. Unfortunately, you know who I get all the time.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Who? Me. Wait, did I tell you about what happened to the bachelor? The bachelor party after you left that night to go home from the bar, the night we went out to the bars. Okay. I'm sorry. The reason I didn't tell you is this. It bums you out way more than Tommy
Starting point is 00:33:18 I think Okay, so we went to a bar This guy comes up to me Drunk off his ass and he goes I know who you like Uh oh And I was like okay And he's like
Starting point is 00:33:27 You're blowing yeah And I was like no my name is Joel And he goes Well that's a shitty made up name And I literally get my ID out Get my ID out Shove it in his face And go
Starting point is 00:33:38 This is my fucking name And he goes Why are you putting your ID in my face I'm not a fucking bouncer And I was like okay What am I doing trying to help you. Get the fuck away from me.
Starting point is 00:33:49 And it was so wild. That's sad. But you know what with that one? I actually feel slightly less demoralized by it than I do, you know, the other two times it happens every month. Because I am actually convinced that he knew, like he was thinking of me
Starting point is 00:34:08 when he saw me. Like he's like, that's the guy from Lou, et cetera. But you are the most famous. No, no. And so he only knows the two. He only has the space in his head for one Asian guy name. And actually this is, this goes into my own to think so honey later. But it's going to be about racism.
Starting point is 00:34:27 It's going to be about racism in New Orleans. He's planning today. I don't think so honey, racism. Racism in New Orleans. And you're tackling Asian racism in New Orleans. Yes. That's the first priority. Which is infecting the population.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Wait. You know who I realize I, my doppelganger is? Who? I think I am Asian Seth McFarland. I think it's in the face a little bit. But you know what though? I would. Yeah, not not.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I would. Ten times out of ten. There was a... Seth MacFarland, I would. There was a really... I think you're funny and talented. There was a Chinese dancer on America's Got Talent last night who I said looked very much like you and he was Chinese.
Starting point is 00:35:08 And it was one of the first times that I, as an adopted Asian person. Could tell? I clocked it before he said. I clocked it before he said because I was like he looks like bone I bet he's He's the bone structure Yeah, the bone structure um but he was such a good dancer as are you You're so good no actually your like ability to pick up choreo Like every time I watch you guys like the opening is this gonna be out yeah it'll be out we can chat about it
Starting point is 00:35:35 I mean it's so crazy and the thing about the culture words that is so great is it really tells you who's fucking down to clown The fact that Britney Snow and Malin Ackerman were like, yes, we will come out and do that. I'm like, okay, those are two cool-ass Green flag. Justine Loop and Timothy Simon, they killed. Yeah. Killed.
Starting point is 00:35:59 It really is like the randomness of some of it. It really feels like you guys went on Facebook and we're like, who wants to be in the cult? Like this post. Like this post. Are you available this day? You can have a whole moment in the cult. who else was good? I was watching the edit today, like finishing it up.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Paige and Hannah really got it. Oh, yeah. They really got it. And I loved that. Of everyone out of the Bravo sphere. Because there were some Bravo people who maybe didn't understand. And I'm not going to shout out anybody. I think if you watch the awards, it's the reason why we love these Brawis people. No, it is. No, in fact, this, the person, there were some people who didn't get it, who in fact were, it was so completely on brand. Yes, this is what I was saying. I had so, okay,
Starting point is 00:36:47 so peek behind the curtain. We had written a speech and then got a speech back. And it was clear that this person maybe thought it was a real award show. And Bowen was feeling a certain way because we had written this thing. And then it was very funny.
Starting point is 00:37:04 And then we were like, but is it funny for this to be the only genuine one? And I think so because, I mean, whatever. This person wins, this person's name gets called. And then on the modder, on the assembly cut, it cuts to this person in the audience just closing their eyes and not getting up, just like soaking in this. It's Stacy.
Starting point is 00:37:28 It's Stacy. And she was perfect. And let me be clear. No, literally. She revived. She saved Potomac. Basically, like, what happened was I was like, let her do her genuine thanks. And then she's going to get it.
Starting point is 00:37:42 She's going to get it. her awards. She's like, she's going to do the awards copy that we wrote. And she did. It was a little bit of, you know, genuine thanks and she nailed it. No, iconic for her to get up on that stage and thank Bravo execs. I iconic. Yeah, the reps, the agency shout out. I mean, like, I was glad to hear that she was so thoroughly repped. You know, she has a team. She has a team, you know, and that's talent. She's a literal talent. By the way, it was as if the theme was Remember that Bowen Yang is a boob gay. I'm a boo.
Starting point is 00:38:16 I'm telling you, there were so much boob on display at the Lost Cult, Racist Cultural Awards. I said they knew that Bowen was co-hosting the show. Because Stacey Rush, for her to show up. And not dress. On display, on display, to quote another Bravo legend. On display, on display. That was as if it was made for you in your dreams.
Starting point is 00:38:36 I mean, we were karate chopped by Miss Piggy. Meanwhile, the thing that impacted me the most, all night was standing at that stage during a stop down, looking at in the audience, Stacey Rush, locking eyes with me and going, and I was like, I adore her. Why wouldn't she love you? You ride so hard, so
Starting point is 00:38:57 publicly. Yes, and the thing is about her is she always zigs a little bit when you think she's going to zag. Like she, I was on the carpet. Like all the grates. We were on the carpet, and J.M. Actually overheard this. She was asked, like, what are you watching these days? And she said,
Starting point is 00:39:13 said, Real Housewives of Potomac, Real Housewives of Atlanta? Okay, okay. And then out of nowhere. The third thing she lists is, and Ratatuti. Rattitoui. Whenever I'm in the mood for something French, I need to sit down and I check in with Ratatoui. She is. Again, this is what makes her so fucking fantastic.
Starting point is 00:39:33 It's like, of course the housewife is going to say the other Housewife franchises. Well, of course, Real Housewives of Potomac, Real House of Atlanta. And Ratatooie. When I'm in the mood for something, friend, I check in with Rattitoui. It is, I mean, that is why she, like, these other women, these other women, they're not getting it like she was getting it. She has risen. She has risen. She has risen.
Starting point is 00:39:57 She has risen. Still she rise. You know? And she, her first season and her confessional, the thing that made her a star was she goes, come to my planet. It's fabulous. She knows she's an alien. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Yes. Yes. But it is true. Like, the cut to Stacey. who, by the way, everyone that comes to the Cold War fully knows they're winning. And just like the reception of... Full, like, three seconds in the chair.
Starting point is 00:40:21 But thank God. Thank God. That made me think maybe she gets it more than everyone else. I think she does. See, that's the thing. Is I was like, but, you know, I understand we want her to do just the community copy, but devil's advocate.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Yeah. What if it's crazy's world and we're living in? It was a ride. Because you're sort of sitting there waiting for the... What's the game here? And then you're like, oh, oh no, there's nothing. There is no people. There's no comedic period here.
Starting point is 00:40:49 And then we and then we and then we and then that started being funny. And just when you're comfortable and laughing at that, she does do the comedic copy. And you're like, oh, so what? What? Well, the best was the stand in earlier that day reading her German speech. Even Arabella, she's like, yeah. And Timu. And then
Starting point is 00:41:14 I just love the fact that she is up in all of these interviews going well there is the worst person that I would kick out of the Potomac. Dazelle. She like names and names constantly.
Starting point is 00:41:30 She's and she's yeah, she's a delight. The other housewife I think who won the night again is say what you will about her, feel what you will about her on the show. Oh. Lisa Rina is a superstar, She is a chameleon.
Starting point is 00:41:42 The physicality of those looks. I mean, it was so crazy. The Billy Eilish. Yeah. Amazing. Took my brother away. Well, also shout out to like... Sethsernoff.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Costumes. Costume hair. The entire hair and makeup department. Every single one, a fully realized character physically. And like, it was remarkable to see. And I told her that. And Meg Stalter said this. Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Did you hear this? I think I maybe told you at the after party. Lisa Renna for O'Mary. Oh, wouldn't that be great? Yes. I mean, if we're going to have a housewife do it. Absolutely. I think Lisa Renna would pull box office numbers.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I think so, too. And she's, and she loves Broadway. Yeah. She's done it. She's done it. The first place we met was at Sweeney Todd. And she loves the theater. Lisa Rina, when she was blocking the Billy Irish moment, from the beginning,
Starting point is 00:42:36 she was just crawling up on stage on the stairs. Yeah. And then, like, afterwards, like, I go up to her separately. and Celeste goes up to her separately, but I said, like, you're doing, like, clowning. You realize this? And then Celeste tells her,
Starting point is 00:42:49 you're doing, like, comedia. Do you realize this? Both of us, she goes, really? Doesn't unders. Ha! Wow. It's so natural.
Starting point is 00:42:58 It comes so natural to her. It doesn't have to be studied. The best part of the whole night for us. Well, that's hyperbolic, but a highlight of the night was, we're backstage, it's the end of the show, Simone,
Starting point is 00:43:10 and Lisa Rina are going to present record of the year. And the bit is that Simone, who's been calling and, like, you know, like, you know, like, narrating the looks all night is going to announce, here comes Rina in the winning look. And it's Lisa Rina as Jeff Probes for the last 50 seasons of Survivor. So Rina comes out with, like, she's coming back from tribal council. She's in the blue shirt. Her hair's like back. She looks like Jeff.
Starting point is 00:43:35 She puts it down. She stands there. Bass in the standing ovation that she gets just for looking. like Jeff and she just goes 50 fucking seasons give it up get on your feet and it became a moment for Jeff Probst and survivor and he wasn't even there I mean she's just like I mean come on 50 seasons I know and she's she's usually you know oftentimes she hipes up people that are villainous and and should be you know I'm not mad at Jeff anymore why because because my I think that with Jeff is he's family.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Yes, of course. And here's the thing. I think that when you take it all into account at the end of the day, 50 was a really fun season. It was incredible. Am I mad at them? Sure. For certain choices that they made. But the Billy Elish.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Boomerang Idol ended up being fun. I think that we were all like, ugh, like it was consternating while it was happening. The only thing I really could have left was the Zach Brown of it all. Because we left the narrative. to follow his. Well, also, and the Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast ended up being fun
Starting point is 00:44:46 because then it became $2 million. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is, how have we not caught on that he's the Antichrist? He is so likable, and he's doing all these amazing things, and his name is literally Mr. Beast. Yeah, sometimes the devil tells you right away.
Starting point is 00:45:02 It's supposed to, and it's like, I just think, you know, he's sticking babies in refrigerators to see how long they last. Is that happening? No. That's an example that I made up.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Again, the title of this episode is all caps allegedly. Did you, recently an interview he was like, I mean, at the end of the day, I only have a million dollars to my name. Like, if you take away, like, I guess liquid, he only has a million dollars. You've got Mr. Bees.
Starting point is 00:45:29 No, I don't. You need to go back to the show. I need to be Mr. Lauren. I've got a Mr. Bees. What if you showed up for the auditions for SNL last year with a Mr. Beast? If I showed,
Starting point is 00:45:38 if I re-oditioned for the show I was already on. to do a Mr. Beasts. Just be like, I think that I was, I was doing lost coach. I was, I sort of started to do a Mr. Beast and I said, I want to go back to SNL. Yeah. And I come back too. That would be iconic.
Starting point is 00:45:51 That would be fine. They send me away again. No, actually, they bring you both on, but you can only appear on together. Sure. And so you're the first duo cast member that must only appear together. Oh, that's fab. That's phenomenal. And we get paid scale.
Starting point is 00:46:06 We split scale. We split scale. Yeah. $2,500. Peripa City. Yeah, Rina is an absolute legend. I did think that she
Starting point is 00:46:16 was yet again a highlight. We should probably just talk about Rachel Zegler too. I was just about to bring her up because it was the one portion of the evening where I wasn't thinking about what my face looked like
Starting point is 00:46:26 on camera. Because I was just sitting there to slack. Yeah. It's pretty unbelievable. I mean, it's so crazy. And then it's remarkable and try to hate her.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Like really, like try. No. Sit there. Sit there, listen to an angelic voice, and try to hate her. When you shame her, it makes her want it more. Yeah. No, it's so crazy. In the words of Addison Ray.
Starting point is 00:46:48 That was incredible. And then you had boy Rachel Ziegler sing Smelly Cat. And it was like, incredible. Like, he is fantastic and like really turned that into it. I mean, you had the puppet, the Bob Baker Marionettes. Baker Marionettes and like the gospel choir. I didn't realize that song had more than one verse. Rachel Zegler was backstage and Hannah Eindbinder was accepting her award.
Starting point is 00:47:15 She was like, I love her. I've never met her. I was like, oh, you guys would get along great. We should all take a picture and bring Joel back here. I'd be like, the DNC hates us. Let's all get together. And then Hannah, during her speech, finishes it by quoting Born This Way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:31 And then Rachel goes, love this girl. Love this girl. Thank God for this girl from me, the last Cromatica defender. pulls out her phone, she still has a Chromatica phone case. Wow. She's a gay guy. I would still go to Chromatic. We would still go to Chromatica?
Starting point is 00:47:45 I would still go to Chromatica. My name is an Aeslis. I'm not tired of rain on me. I'm not tired of pretty much anything. I'm not tired of Padam. I'm not tired of Rain on me. You're not sure of Padam. Play it all.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Play it all. Did you watch the Kylie documentary? I have not yet. It's fantastic documentary. She is the best that we have. A lot of it is like her like talking about how the gay community basically like lit a fight. She was kind of one of the first to really know I'm for the gays and that is not a
Starting point is 00:48:16 pejorative. It's a huge strength and I am going to support and love this community back the way they're supporting and loving me and I'm not going to pretend that I'm like on a lower level because I'm entertaining this audience. For me, run away with me is like as special as dancing on my own. Yes. Oh wow. Like like to millennial. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think run away with me and cut to the feeling are both very important. And I also want to say, I know that it's not like as important as dancing on my own. I know that dancing on my own has its own thing. I'm saying if the world were fair, run away with me would be a hit like that size.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Same way I feel about Thunder by Jesse Jay, which I was singing around Fraser and he was like, yeah, that's every gay guy in London and England's. That was like a huge hit in the UK, like across the board. It wasn't just for gay. And I was like, that album that Thunder was on didn't even come out in America. That's how done dirty Jesse Jay was done at the time by everyone in America. The gays don't even necessarily know Thunder. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:22 The gays of this, I think this is what is maybe happening. The labels are always the ones who like cut these girls off at the knees. It is. And the gays are the ones who are like, but wait a minute, what's over here? Like we always, I feel like we do a good job of clothes. zeroing in on the good things. Absolutely. I'm just going to say it.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Whatever label Demi was with did not do right by her on this last album. Famously, I think. It's crazy. Jesse Jay done so dirty by the awful fucking people behind the wicked movie. Because we all saw the bootleg audition
Starting point is 00:49:58 of her singing Define Gravity in her basement that she released briefly and then you know her reps made her take it down. Incredible. I'm sorry. Do you want me to apologize? I would. I'm sorry that I personally leaked the Jesse,
Starting point is 00:50:14 or that I personally barred her from release. You knew that if Jesse J played Alpha, but you wouldn't get your shine. Yeah, you wouldn't. Because Jesse. I can't be, I can't be a comedic foil to Jesse J. The way that I can't exist here.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Were you even really a comedic foil to Cynthia? No, no, absolutely not. You were a comedic foil to Ariana. Ariana. No, I feel like I was... Are you... Did you have... Did you have...
Starting point is 00:50:41 You did have it in the beginning of the school. They spoke. They spoke. Elphaba and Fannie spoke. We were at school. Yeah. What is the one? At school.
Starting point is 00:50:49 At school. No, I gave Elfabah her hat. That's right. Or I... You gave it to Glynville. Oh my God. Oh my God. It's Elfabba!
Starting point is 00:51:02 This is the work of the Wicked Witch. It was Alfa Bava. No, no, no. I don't give. I don't give Alphabet the hat. I give it to Ari. And then she was so cruel. That was my one big problem with Wicked.
Starting point is 00:51:14 I just thought it was so cruel that Glinda gave her the hat. It was really. That was so cruel. And I thought, kids are watching. I just thought who would do that? Kids are watching. Kids are watching. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:26 And that's your one problem. And then she became wicked. Well, my second problem with the movie, if I can get real, is. The treatment of the animals on set. That was so cruel. Like, it was out, like, watching it. They looked very, they looked very animals. They looked very thirsty.
Starting point is 00:51:46 They were difficult, and they were very entitled coming in because it was their first big job. But we go, the culture's changed. We don't, now get your mark, little bear. You are second class citizen. No, that, um, that, um, the nurse bear was, was the picture for our group chat. in L.A. It was.

Starting point is 00:56:52 I think in terms of... And then we'll move to the U.S. Hot, hot, Montreal. Vibe, Vancouver. Yes! Where is Toronto? 100%. I think there's a reason why we use Toronto to shoot a lot of other
Starting point is 00:57:07 places. And that's all I'll say. I'm talking about the gays. I know. I think that the reasons we shoot in other places extends to the gay population. Well, you know what? I have a soft spot in my heart for Toronto because there's like two or three men that live in Toronto that before I die, I have to have sex with. And they all live in Toronto. I know the ones you're talking about. Do you?
Starting point is 00:57:34 No. No, I don't think I don't think I've met them. But they sound hot. They're the hottest. Give me a taste of that. A fat, uncut, cock. Let me say. You want to send me flaccid?
Starting point is 00:57:44 You want to West Wilson in it? I will say, listen, what I said about Toronto just now, I think is actually a better example of shade than the one that I began with. Because all I'm saying is, yes. West Wilson, flip it around. Wicked witch! Mademorable.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Wow. Mademorable. Flip it around West Wilson. Amazing. Oh my God. Wait, when does this come out? June 27th? No.

Starting point is 00:58:46 So for me, it's a hat on a hat on a hat. Girl, they are putting you on panels. I'm exhausted. I think Toronto has Wonderful gays. Yes, no. They do. They do. I was just there a Halloween or so ago. Yes. Wonderful gays. I have not, even though I grew up there, I have not gotten to revisit
Starting point is 00:59:02 Montreal in a meaningful way now that I am in my sort of now that I'm sexually overripe. And also our excuse to go every year was... JFL. And I'm going back. fell. Oh, is it back to being a thing? But now it's owned, I think, by like a private, like.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Private equity. Yeah. So it's no longer being subsidized by the government, which... Good. Good. Good. We weren't doing anything worth the government subsidies. Subsidization.
Starting point is 00:59:32 I was. You certainly were. Yeah, you were. I have to pee again. Listen. Again? I turn the old... Turning 38.
Starting point is 00:59:39 I am an aisle seat girlie for life now. Yes. the elasticity is nil now apparently so it doesn't expand. Are you, are you, I'm just going to say it. Are you getting banged? Oh, it's not by that. It's not because of that.
Starting point is 00:59:57 And that comes in like, no, it couldn't be that. No, it couldn't be that. Go to the bathroom. The thing about being versed is that you can be like, I'm not doing that anymore. I'm going to switch.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Yeah. Wait, what do you mean? Like, if you're getting banged out, yeah, to the point of, like, having to piss all the time. That's probably not good. It's not good, but you could just go, well, let me, let me switch, let me talk. Oh, God, that would feel so good, though.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Oh, yeah, Doug, you're going to tell us all about how the prostate's involved? Tell us about gay sex. Tell us all about gay sex. In general, I have nothing to do with gay or not. If there wasn't a mic here right now, I would ask you if you've explored the butt sexually. I'm not. And I didn't even ask, and yet we got the answer. He has not.
Starting point is 01:00:48 I said, if there were not mics here, I would have asked. So you volunteered that information. Maybe you should explore the butt. I'm not going to look you in the eye when I ask. It doesn't make you anything. It just makes you someone with a human body. It makes you powerful, actually. nerve endings.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Yeah. I think that, well, I always ask my straight female friends, like, did you put a finger in your husband's ass? And I think the honest ones say yes. That's because. I just walked in for that. Well, and yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:15 Have you put a finger in your husband's ass is on par with why is there a penis? Why is there a penis on a dead girl's phone? Why is your penis on a dead girl's phone? I have a literal segment on my podcast because I have to pee in the middle of it. Even though I pee before, I have to pee in the middle. And I leave the room and I say, talk about how this is going for you. And then I come back. And I get so mad when they cut it out.
Starting point is 01:01:41 And they go, Joel, well, they didn't say anything funny and I'm like how will they learn it doesn't matter will they learn if they don't hear themselves be boring as fuck oh that's that is a huge part of the self-development in the current in the modern age is like can you literally just just flap your gums with no one else around yeah which sounds crazy but it's true I mean I but you can disagree with me what that that the barometer is no that like it's actually like a somewhat useful skill set to just be like, can I sit with myself and just like express my own thoughts without like looking at a fucking phone or like, you know what I mean? I have done that. Yeah, yeah, it's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Did you meet Cooper? I have come across. Cooper. What's going on with you right now? Cooper and I have come across each other. Oh my God. I love him. What's going on with you, pet wise? Um, we are planning on getting a dog, um, as sort of a trial run for children eventually. Uh, and just to get us home, you know? Although I will say now, I am like, we don't go out or leave as much as we used to. That is like maybe the one thing that's changed
Starting point is 01:02:48 since marriage. I don't know for any specific reason, but it is just like, I would rather stay at home and play Lego Batman with him. I just, I'm always wondered how you could get home at six and then start a television show. 6 p.m.?
Starting point is 01:03:03 Oh, I mean, that we do all the time. Y'all would be going, going, going. and then I remembered you had you guys were watching I love that for you at 5.45 a.m. And I was like, girl, what? He was like, just finished episode six. I was like, what? I guess, yeah, now that's been years ago too.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Yeah, I think like we just, um, I don't sleep like in general. Um, and he sleeps, uh, like, he'll get a full night's rest periodically throughout the day. Yeah. And so then. Naps. Yeah. And yeah, it's just, we, I really, it's, there's like an 11 year old mentality around weekends for us where we're like, we can stay up as late as we want. That's nice.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Yeah, but it is like dumb when it's like, we've just been home. Like it makes, it's like slightly more forgivable when we've like arrived home from a party at 4 a.m. And then we're winding down. But it's like, bitch, we've been winded down. Yeah. And we're still turning on the television as the sun is rising. But the TV is turning on because sleep isn't really an option? Or it's like it's just not going to happen for the two of you.
Starting point is 01:04:14 It's just not going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. That's interesting. Dog is going to help that? I think dog is just going to force us to regulate a little bit more. Because that's the one thing that changed after the wedding is like our relationship hasn't changed. But the way I think about the future now is much different than the way I thought about the future before. Because I am sort of, I am like constantly like, oh, God, if when we have.
Starting point is 01:04:37 have kids like we really can't do this or like we got to make some lifestyle changes before we have the children well it's right on it's synced up with the fact that like bars are not really happening oh no they were they used to no no no i feel like there's maybe fatigue around party culture i think so i think more and more i think a lot of people are and you know there's i think there's a myriad of reasons for it i don't think it's one thing but like i think we're also aging out of it too yeah which is like scary to say, but, um, Jam surprisingly is a tempering influence on me because we, I, this is what,
Starting point is 01:05:13 like this year, um, he went to Josh Retrie for Memorial Day and I went to Palm Springs for the first two days of, of Thursday Friday and then left on Saturday to meet him in Josh Retrie. I got there on Thursday, did not sleep until Saturday morning and was fine. Because vacation is when I released the Beast, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Yeah. Well, and it is just like, what are you looking for? Right. You know, what am I looking for? I think it like, now that like we spend so few, there's very little vacations that like we won't be together for. And so I think there was like an element of like, dad's not home.
Starting point is 01:05:49 I can do, you know, and but then it just like, it's bad. Like literally my thing is, it's like, I'm speaking directly to the listener and you know who you are. You could either jerk off now, leisurely pace. like a king, or you can scroll on Grindr for four hours, strike out, and then jerk off angrily. Yeah, and it comes out like this. Those are your options.
Starting point is 01:06:18 And every time I choose the wrong one. Every time. No, I'm with you, and I feel like crazy. Let's just go back for a second and talk about the way Matt decided to voice action. coming coming to Pixar this fall it's a story of blip blip a little piece of cum after a long night out
Starting point is 01:06:44 hey listen I was a look who's talking family so I've been anthropomorphizing come for a long time I was a look who's talking family as well and I don't say too because look who's talking too too yeah confusing how would they anthropomorphize come because the opening opening
Starting point is 01:07:01 scene was like basically showing in it Dravolta like being like I'm going to get there first I'm going to get there first Yeah it's an impregnant It's an impregnation What's it? It's an impregnitation
Starting point is 01:07:14 That can't be right What's the word? Impregnation? It's an impregnate You impregnation So what we're watching Is an impregnation That is a TLC show
Starting point is 01:07:25 If I've ever heard Impregnation Am I making up a word Impregnation Yeah because it's just impregnation Yeah, oh yeah. I'm going to impregnate you.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Yeah, but you'd be watching an impregnation. I guess so. Can you look it up? I think it's easier to just agree. I-M-P-R-E-G-N-A-T-I-O-N is the fake word. Find out what it means to me. No, that's a real word. Yes!
Starting point is 01:07:51 Whoa! Shock of the century. The act of impregnating. Yeah, impregnation. So we witnessed an impregnation at the beginning of Look Who's Talking, and that was what Joel was referencing. Now, and Joel, Joel is not John Travolta.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Trondravolta plays the cum, like, hey, I'm going to and then Kirstie the alley is the egg, like, ow, ow, ow, ow. Yeah. Now, I just have to say it's crazy that Dix do that. Do what?
Starting point is 01:08:20 That they, that they shoot pump, pump, pump it out. Pump, pump it out. But there's like a pumping sort of apparatus in our cartilage. Well, here's my question. You get the vasectomy.
Starting point is 01:08:32 You still come? And it's like, then what is cum? Then what is it? It's come. Baby don't help me. If it's not, sperm. No, I literally have a joke in my special where I'm like, I used to grow up thinking I'm going to get a vasectomy and it's going to be dust. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:51 And it's not, I'm so stupid. I don't know this. No, it still looks like regular cum. That's great. It's just not, there's no sperm. It's just totally useless. And when I'm told there's no sperm in this cum, I say then what is the cum to begin with?
Starting point is 01:09:03 Right. Gooo. It's just goo. It's just goo. Well, it's cum. It's just not cum filled with sperm. Yeah. That's what's come!
Starting point is 01:09:13 That was a new segment we have. All sperm is cum, but not all come is sperm. And that's rural culture number two. All sperm is come, but not all cum is sperm. That one should go in the book, actually. We're now choosing the ones that are like going to be going in the book. I'm honored. I would be honored to be honored to be
Starting point is 01:09:29 included. Yeah, the little assist. I'm sure you have assisted many of the rules of culture over the years, maybe even some of the ones, the famous ones. It would be interesting to have Claude, um, figure that out for us. Chat JPT. Yeah, yeah. Put the spreadsheet.
Starting point is 01:09:42 That's crazy to me is that when someone is tried, like the people were talking to you, refer to Claude as chat GPT. Yeah, all the time. That's, that is actually. The dark thing is, is like, I did not realize how many people are using it to write emails and text messages and flirt. And on Vanderpump Villa this season, a girl broke up with someone because ChatGBTGBT
Starting point is 01:10:05 told her to. And to be fair, she should have. She put in all the facts. And it gave her a good conclusion. But like the fact that she said on national TV that she did it because, and all of these coworkers and friends have been like, we've been telling you to break up with him for years. But you listen to ChatGBT.
Starting point is 01:10:26 It's crazy. I was with a friend who was staying at an Airbnb and he wanted to, he was hung over, I'll give him that, but he was like, I got to ask for a late checkout and had Claude write the message to the host. Bro.
Starting point is 01:10:39 To ask for a late checkout. And I was like, babe, that's a sentence. That's one sentence. That's one little phone call. And I worry. I do worry. Did you do a rewatch on the anniversary? I didn't.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Joel and I had the experience of watching it again recently. And it was great, but it was a little weird. It was weird. And we stayed for the beginning in the end. There was a screening in Ohio. And we stayed for the beginning in the end.
Starting point is 01:11:01 And it is just like... We look young. We do look younger. But, and I will say, like, to this day, like, you guys doing the searchlight, like, thing is, it does bring me great joy. And then I was watching it. And I was like, it's impossible not to watch something that you worked on like that and not think, like, oh, God, I could have done that better, you know? And like, oh, I wish that. This would have made it in.
Starting point is 01:11:27 This cut, this thing, that thing. I love the movie. I've seen it 100 times probably. But, yeah, fun fact. I don't think a lot of people know this. If you're listening right now and you want to watch the movie again, but you've watched it recently, there's a commentary track on Hulu. Yeah, we knew that. I actually had heard the commentary track.
Starting point is 01:11:45 I think that might be one of the last times I watched it. Yeah, it was with the commentary track. No, because you know what? I watched it with Fraser. He hadn't seen it. And we watched it, and he enjoyed it very much. He loved it. I enjoyed very much sitting in front of him at the culture awards.
Starting point is 01:11:59 What was it? You were describing? He would like, he was just so funny because he'd just be whispering to Melissa. Melissa. Yeah. And just being like, oh my God, he's going to fall. What is he doing? He needs to be careful.
Starting point is 01:12:14 I'm not going to do the accent. Wouldn't be me. I do the accent every day. Yeah. He was just like, I think taken aback by the physicality on stage. Yeah. Sure, sure, sure. I was, look, I did catch him a lot of times.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Like, I would just see him in the audience, and he would sort of be looking like shell-shocked. And I'd be like, are you having fun? Mm-hmm. You'd be like, yes. Yeah. Because I do think it's, it is overstimulating, and it's shocking to see someone who you see all the time and speak with all the time doing something. They are not wild. In an auditorium full of your friends.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Yeah. And people who fucking love you. Yes. That's a lot of things to experience for a partner. Yeah, true. But it's sort of, it really is like, like last year it gave me this vibe, this year gave me this vibe,
Starting point is 01:13:06 it does feel like your wedding. Yeah, I know. It does feel like you're watching. This year more than ever, I felt like I was watching us in the white tuxes. It feels like a wedding in that we don't really get to enjoy the thing. No, yeah, you can't talk to anybody. We never saw the Dunkin' Donuts room.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Oh, yeah, that is sad. And it seemed fun. It was fun. It was a good time. Oh my God. The camera has no way to get Cooper's face right now. So cute. Do you know we're talking about you?
Starting point is 01:13:30 Who's this? This is dog dog. Of course. That's why we connect. Do you not explore the butt because Cooper's around and you don't want to do stuff in front of the dog? Because I've had sex in front of a dog. I all had sex in front of a dog. That dog is since, but that dog has since passed.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Do dogs, do dogs know that gay sex is. Wrong. Crazy. Wrong. Have you ever realized your car just doesn't fit your life anymore? Like maybe you've got a new job or you've moved or your family's grown or maybe you're just ready for something different.

Starting point is 01:20:11 And the caption was, Pikachu stuns on the blue carpet of the Lost Culture Recess Culture Awards with Chanel Ayan. It's like, this is. Yeah. Pikachu stunts on the Marshall's blue carpet with Chanel Ion at the Lost Culture Rewards. priestess culture awards. Wow. That would confuse me.
Starting point is 01:20:29 Certainly confused me. I would say Katie Perry spotted canoodling with Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau eating hot dogs on the floor. Coachella. That is pretty good. Like, try going back to, when did he see elected like 2012, 2015? Yeah. 2019? Something like that?
Starting point is 01:20:43 Like during Obama's second term. Yeah, yeah, yeah, during her imperial phase. Yeah, I don't, go back to 2012 and like when he was supposed to be the Great White Hope of Canada and tell someone that. With that big ass. Tell someone that. You remember he had that big fat ass I miss her on Idol We're talking about two different things
Starting point is 01:21:00 I know You refuse to talk with me about Justin Trudeau's former dunk Does he not have it anymore? I don't know I just I just I just He's certainly not like Showing it off like he used to
Starting point is 01:21:10 He used to like Remember when he would go into his office And the prime minister's ship Or whatever the fuck And he would like And he would like arch his back And like he would be like look I can do a push up
Starting point is 01:21:19 And like lift my whole body off the ground It would just be him doing like An impressive physical feet With his like handsome face a little shelf. And his leadership. And his leadership. Did he flop as prime minister?
Starting point is 01:21:31 Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. Certainly. Yeah. I couldn't tell you how. No, neither. Could I?
Starting point is 01:21:37 So is it? I only know just generally what I'm absorbing from the vibes of the people talking about it. Yeah. Is it that is the narrative? Okay, so I basically like, as far as I can go with the Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau of it all,
Starting point is 01:21:50 is it's like, it's crazy that you'd put them together because they're both so famous and like who would ever think that. But is it also the narrative of like kind of like two people who kind of flopped now kind of coming together to Maximoise their joint flop?
Starting point is 01:22:06 That's interesting. Into like what is kind of a sleigh? You know what? I just realized you are one degree away from Justin Trudeau. Me? Yeah. Oh, why?
Starting point is 01:22:16 Because I was in a Katy Perry music video. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that puts you close to a lot of people, actually. Same with Mitra then. Yeah, oh my God. Maitra and I famously were the stars of the not the end of the world music video. If you are catching up.
Starting point is 01:22:30 If you're just getting now catching up. And I directed the innovation music video. Yeah, right, right, right, right. So why won't you direct anything else for Normani? Because it seems like she needs you. I did it with the, I did it on the first try. It's like, why continue American Idol? Babe, you did it.
Starting point is 01:22:45 That was, yeah. Oh, wow. Why continue American Idol, the money? Yeah, sure. Sure, sure. But you really ate, you really ate in tour and more. with the motivation music video. Somehow that came up the other night,
Starting point is 01:22:58 and that was like, that was peak Twitter for me, is getting away with, with saying I directed this in a lot of video, someone coming back and saying, these two men directed the video, and then replying, that's the names, those are the names I use when I direct music videos
Starting point is 01:23:16 because people know me as a comedian, and I want them to know me as a duo of music directors. Yeah, yeah. And then it being, like, reported on, in the blogs that I, the director has said she did it in one take. The ball bump. Normani allegedly did the music video for motivation in one take, says director, Joel Kim booster.
Starting point is 01:23:38 No, specifically when the basketball falls down and she bumps it with her hip. Oh, amazing. Because they all started with... She did that on the first take. She is so amazing. Yeah, no, she's incredible. She is like... You're talking about her.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Like, you actually... did direct. She is. She really is amazing. She really is amazing. She was so hard. She were so hard. I pray for
Starting point is 01:24:03 I still pray for Normani. No, yeah. I pray for all the girls. I pray for each and every one of those girls. And I'm on this podcast standing for Camila more than anyone
Starting point is 01:24:14 in recorded history. I'd say that's probably true. Actually, you know what? This is so true. Some of the hottest gays in the world will get in your DMs and be like, are you excited for Camila's new era?
Starting point is 01:24:30 I'm telling you, there's this one gay who's so fucking hot, who, this is a long time ago, got in my DMs just to say something about Camila. And I was like, okay, maybe this guy wants to talk to me, fingers crossed, and I just started a conversation. It never stopped. He had the bibliography on Camila.
Starting point is 01:24:49 I had never heard CXOXO standing like this until I listen to any episode it comes up on this podcast. What are they called? Her stance, by the way, sorry. Camillionaires. No, they're not. They're not.
Starting point is 01:25:03 They're not. That was good, though. It's probably better than one is. What is Camila Stan Army, Becca? Camel. Oh, my God. Camelizers? T-A-M-I-L-Z-E-R-S. Is that worse or better than Arienator? Well, Arionator scans better than whatever that is.
Starting point is 01:25:22 Scans better, but. But, you know, she hates it. We can't even figure out how to say this one. Um, right. Can I just say on your note about the, the hottest gays will come into your DMs. I think a lot of the, you know, the pointiest, musseliest gay guys just want to queen out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They just want to queen out.
Starting point is 01:25:37 They don't really necessarily want to flirt fuck. They just, like, like, you're actually dead ass. Like, I'll go to rec, and it'll be three different muscle gays just wanting to talk Oscars. Yeah. And I'm like, oh. No, and it is this like, it's this really insidious thing that, like, cycle that happens is because so many gay guys operate under I'm only nice to people I want to fuck
Starting point is 01:25:58 and I only engage with people I want to fuck and so many of us have experienced that and absorbed that but then you meet somebody who is just like wants to queen out and chat and keep me and like I am like this like I I'll talk to anybody interesting I think it's great but it's this cycle then of that person thinks
Starting point is 01:26:18 oh gay guys are only nice to me if they want to fuck me so this person person must and then I have to then be like, oh, actually I just was interested in your mom's cancer journey. Like I, you know, and like. To a point. Yeah. And it, and like, and like, and it and like, my instinct sometimes is like not to be nice or not to engage or not to start the conversation. Yeah. Because I'm like at an after party where sex is happening. And I also don't want, like, listen, I am at an after party where feet away from me. People are being penetrated. I don't want to waste someone's time by talking to them about the French election when possibly they could be scouting elsewhere.
Starting point is 01:27:01 Oh, so it's about you don't want to take away from their experience? No, yeah, because like I know I once was at an after party in London and it was early and everyone was hot. And I talked to this South African basketball player for an hour. And then he ended the conversation by kissing me on the cheek and saying, you're so interesting to talk to. and then went off to fuck someone else that I was there with. And listen, you are not obligated to fuck anybody just because you talk to them for an hour. Right.
Starting point is 01:27:27 But I will say, that's pregame behavior. It's a great opportunity. That is pregame behavior, not after party behavior. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look around and what's going on. Now I'm an hour behind everyone else. Oh. You know?
Starting point is 01:27:38 All because you wanted to talk to me about Casey Levy. Because I'm talking to you about apartheid and your dad's role in ending a partite? Because you wanted to talk to me about Casey Levy. Because, right? Is that her name? Cassie Levy. Cassie. Is it Cassie or Casey?
Starting point is 01:27:51 Fabulous in Ragtime. Oh my God, I saw it twice. You saw it twice? I did see it. I saw it and then I said, J.M. has to see this. He does. And then he thought for months
Starting point is 01:28:00 that he was seeing Carousel. Very different. Totally different. Totally different. Similar themes. Not really. No, it's not. I was trying to help him out.
Starting point is 01:28:12 I was at opening night of Ragtime in the front row with Melissa. Oh my God. And it is. Joshua Henry, blowing your. fucking face off that close. To say nothing, well, Joshua Henry
Starting point is 01:28:22 maybe certainly, well, we'll know by now. The Tony's have happened, yeah. Yeah, so we don't know what happened. We don't know what happened. Because of now as of this recording. Yeah, so we don't know what happened, but certainly he should win.
Starting point is 01:28:34 I can't wait to listen to this episode and have you pop in. At the time of recording, we did not know that Joshua Henry did this thing. Yeah. Hi, it's me from the future. Josh Henry did win.
Starting point is 01:28:45 So congrats Josh. And back to the show. And we have food denounce. No, just kidding. He's probably lovely and should win. But him, Michelle Lewis, crazy. Michelle Lewis is amazing. Get this.
Starting point is 01:28:59 I knew Joshua Henry as a recording artist before I knew he did Broadway. Really? Yes, because I put one of his songs on a playlist for JM in the early days of his dating. Oh, I didn't know he did original music. Yeah, he came up on like my Discover Weekly or whatever. And I was like, I love this singer. And I had no idea. Fab.
Starting point is 01:29:17 Oh, I love that. Speaking of singers, how many times have you been on Jennifer Hudson? Three. Yeah. Spirit on all three? Only twice, because the first time was pre-spiritedal. I will say, this is, like, she is like such a consummate professional. She had to cancel on me one time because she was not feeling well.
Starting point is 01:29:41 And the way I know, because of my interactions with her, she was incapacitated completely. That's the only, her entire production staff was like, this has never happened. She doesn't call out. No, she doesn't. And I just like, I get the best vibes from her. She seems like, I got the best vibes from her when I was on Kelly with her too. Yes.
Starting point is 01:30:03 That's an iconic picture. I almost framed it from my own home. You should. I probably should, actually. Yeah. Yeah, we met her, or I met, have you met Jennifer? You met her backstage at Seth Myers. Seth Myers.
Starting point is 01:30:14 We did it, I don't think so, honey, together. Yes. I was on Seth Myers and Diane. Diane von Furstenberg was also on Seth Miles. And I was wearing a Leak, NYC top. And she came to my dressing room after I'd been on and was like, I have to know who makes this top. And comes up, starts touching it, touching me.
Starting point is 01:30:37 The gray one. Yes. And then, you know, I was like, oh, I was like, that's iconic coming from you. Like, I'm so honored. Thank you so much. I'll let the designer know. And then she moves into the green room. beyond where we are near the door and opens up a box,
Starting point is 01:30:54 starts eating a giant pretzel out of it, takes a few cookies, takes a couple cookies. From your snacks? Yeah, and it eats a little bit off the charcutorery, puts a piece of cheese back. DVF. That she would, had touched. And I, yeah, it was one of the craziest things I've ever,
Starting point is 01:31:12 and then left without saying another word. She was not speaking during this time, by the way. And we were all like trying to like, We were doing that thing where we were like, yeah, and in the thing, so, um, yeah, and like, watching what's going on, but, like, trying to keep up a conversation because we didn't want to, like, spook her. Oh, DVF is diving through the snacks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:31 And then she left without another word. I love it. She thought it was open concept. It was amazing. And it honestly humanized her in such a beautiful way to me. Yeah. Because I was like, God, she was just hungry. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:44 She was just hungry. She was just hungry. Who's the actress that got hit in the head? head and now can write songs. Oh, I'm, I'm, oh my God. Mary Steenberg. I don't think it was that she got hit in that. I think she had a surgery.
Starting point is 01:31:57 Oh, okay. Well, the cast got hit in the head allegedly and could hit high notes after that. Who did? That is apparently made up, but that is something that I did here. She was like growing up. Make your own kind of mute. Guys, I don't know. Maybe tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:32:13 Oh! Make your own kind of music. Fire it out. Yeah, I'm ready. That was the story. That was the story. Apparently she did get hit in the head and it kind of caused like a lot of pain. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:27 What tracks, I guess. Do you want to talk about being in K-pop demon hunters because you haven't gotten to do that? I guess. I mean, it's so funny. I guess. I guess. No, it's, it's like it was like. You're in a film that won two Oscars.
Starting point is 01:32:42 It's like the biggest fucking movie Netflix has ever produced, which by the way, now that our residuals work a certain kind of way. And I was like, Netflix, you sent me a plaque that said I was in the biggest movie you've ever made. So that shit better not be light. Okay, you can't have it both ways. Anyways, K-pop Demon Hunters was, it was just such a quick experience. It was an amazing group of people. It was just such a quick experience. Like, I was like in and out of the movie in 20 minutes.
Starting point is 01:33:04 And yet, and I have like five lines as romance. And yet there are subredits and fan art and porn and like fan theories. And I will say my character does not die on screen. Mm-hmm. And the thing that I referenced that Gemini was apologizing for in all those screenshots that I was reading, the director of K-pop Demon Hunters on the carpet of the Golden Globes said, was asked, what can we expect from K.P. Demon Hunters too? And he said verbatim, more Joel Kim booster.
Starting point is 01:33:33 And that's it. And you best believe I clipped that and sent it to my team and said, let's follow up on this, sisters. Because that would be great. Let you sing the song. Well, and it's so funny because initially they had. us saying right um like no just to like and then they went when we were auditioning they had us sing and they wanted us to sing a boy band song yeah so i'm downstairs in my office singing i want it that way great like good choice like embarrassed even though i'm alone and i keep playing it back and i
Starting point is 01:34:03 cannot hear it and i'm like what's going on jm upstairs with a couple of our friends i'm connected to the bluetooth upstairs so him and our friends got to hear seven times me singing poorly and nervously I want it that way into my phone. Why did he turn that off? He doesn't love you. He was fucking enjoying it. Yeah. He was fucking enjoying it.
Starting point is 01:34:25 He was living for loving. Yeah. So cruel. Very cruel. But it's like, honestly, I'm like so thankful to be a part of it. And like, you know. Okay. The media training is jumping out.
Starting point is 01:34:35 No. But it's true. Like, it's the one thing that like my niece and nephews can watch. That's true. That I've ever done. Why you don't think you can show them fire islands? No, I don't think so. I think there'd be a lot of questions.
Starting point is 01:34:46 Like how did those two straight Australian intimacy coordinators choreographed that orgy scene so accurately? All right, this is Matt Rogers. I don't think so funny. His, you have something? Yeah. His time starts now. I don't think so honey, I can't be around Skittles without eating the whole bag. So we are editing the cultural awards right now.
Starting point is 01:35:03 I'm coming to you from the past. You're in the future. You've already seen it. I, on my writer, I ask for two things. Coke Zero and Skittles. I don't know why I do this. Bowen's like, can we have bananas? and like there's like bananas there.
Starting point is 01:35:17 I see your banana. I raise you Skittles. And then I have a colorful mouth and a body that is full of red 40. 30 seconds. I'm I guess sort of addicted to Red 40. I think I kind of love it. Me and RFK disagree about this one thing.
Starting point is 01:35:34 And, you know, we'll talk about it later. I'm sure tonight when I see him. I'll see you soon, baby. But anyways, I absolutely think that Skittles are the best food in American history. they're not good for you. I bet they have actually less than zero health value. But I can't stop eating them.
Starting point is 01:35:51 If they're around me, I'm going to eat the whole bag. I've eaten five bags of Skittles today. And if there was five in front of me, I'd eat the five, too. And that's one minute. This is crazy. I have to go to the P, but I have something to say. You're kidding me. So I guess let's just discuss that.
Starting point is 01:36:08 I was actually hoping he would to do a rule of three. Do a rule of three. That was the third. What is, um, What is so bad about Red 40, according to the Maha people? And now you. Can I tell you something? Is anyone Maha in here?
Starting point is 01:36:22 You want to tell us what's bad about Red 40? I'm Googling it. Yeah, okay. Becca's going to Google what's so... Can you say it like this? What's so bad about Red 40 anyway? I bet it gives you cancer. Okay, from the Cleveland Clinic Health Essentials,
Starting point is 01:36:36 because I'm not trying to use the little AI thing. So from the Cleveland Clinic Health Essentials, they say... Some countries have very strict regulations. Some countries have... very strict regulations. And some U.S. states have regulated it too, but under U.S. federal law, it is currently still using a variety of products. It's not regulated in America.
Starting point is 01:36:53 But what is so bad about it? I know. I'm trying to... So RFK wants to have big government regulated. Red die 40 is thought to be associated with hyperactivity and behavioral changes like irritability and depression. Okay, well, I... Dignity causes ADHD.
Starting point is 01:37:08 It just means kids who have ADHD may be especially sensitive. Okay, so the rumor is that... if you're ADHD, you might be super sensitive to Red 40, and it might make you irritable and what? Depressed. I got to tell. Jam, that. He's king ADHD.
Starting point is 01:37:24 I just wanted to know for everyone watching home. Anytime during the podcast, you see my legs doing this, that's when it's starting. And let me tell you, it's not a weak stream. It's not a dribble. I do not have trouble getting it out. It is just, it is a lot of pee every time here. Well, I was just looking at you the whole time. how much you were going to drink because I was like,
Starting point is 01:37:46 I the whole time had been kind of low-key wanting you to go a third time to satisfy my need for a rule of three. But you didn't drink any more of the Celsius. No. No, it's just my bladder is the size of a peach and no longer expands. But we're saying the volume
Starting point is 01:38:02 of the fluid. Right. Where's that coming from? It's not clocking. This is not the body episode. We don't know what come is. We don't know what pee is. Yeah, it's really... We just don't know where Pete comes from. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 01:38:15 Well, maybe we'll find out in Bowen Yangs. I don't think so, honey. No, we're not. We're not. I told you what mine was. Do you want to time me? I would like to time you. And Bowen's going to have actually a really, really, really powerful one on tonight. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:38:27 This is Bowen Yang's. I don't think so, honey, his time starts now. I don't think so, honey, that these little delivery robots have non-anglo names. It's a lot of Yuki. It's Priya. There was one on TikTok of this guy being like, now, why the fuck is this one named Jaliki? What are you trying to say serve robotics?
Starting point is 01:38:47 Like, come on, let's just stick with the Charlie and the Courtney and the Alex and like I don't want like, oh, we have DEI still for the robots? No, no, no. There's one named Bowen. There's one named Bowen that people keep tagging me and I'm like, I don't want to be reminded of Bowen with the eyes. It's already, it's already being anthropomorphized with these little stupid eyes. don't give it a name. And if you are, give it something where I don't have to think about
Starting point is 01:39:18 what the implicit message is. Like, everybody, like, I don't know. This is actually, this might actually further foment these sort of wage, the wage anxiety and sort of the wealth anxiety that we have that is about to blow up in this fucking country.
Starting point is 01:39:37 Now, do you think that possibly they're named after celebrities or characters and like that's what they're going for with Bowen and Jaliel White and... There are white Bowens. There are white Bowens. Yuki is not a robot. Yuki is a non-binary DJ.
Starting point is 01:39:56 Yeah, no, you're right about that. We cannot have the robots out here named Yuki. No. I'm telling you, stick to the Anglo names. Yuki, I guess you could have one name Yuki. That's... our cue for the next. I don't think so, honey.
Starting point is 01:40:15 Okay, so this is, this may come, this may be coming for people in our own community. Okay, certainly may be some listeners of this podcast. Certainly people in this room. Certainly one of my dear friends actually sort of prompted this, but let's just go. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:40:34 This is Joel Kimboosters. I don't think so, honey. His time starts it now. I don't think so, honey. People who post pictures of their baby on Instagram with a fucking emoji over their face. Just don't put the baby on Instagram, okay? What are you doing?
Starting point is 01:40:48 You can't have it both ways. You cannot have your social media presence and protect your child's privacy. You can't have it all in one's fell swoop. You can't have it all in one swing. This is a millennial disease that the urge to post no matter what, but then your parental instinct kicks in
Starting point is 01:41:04 and says, maybe I shouldn't submit this baby to the public so soon. And here's my thought for you. Why don't you put down the damn? phone and start parenting for once. Okay? I don't think so, honey. The fact that you put a devil emoji face over a picture of your baby, now what am I supposed to think? That the baby's horny?
Starting point is 01:41:22 15 seconds. Because that's what it means in our community, okay? It may need something. It may even devilish to you, but it means you up to me. And now that's what your baby is doing to me. And now you've made me complicit in something nasty. I don't think so, honey, people putting pictures of emojis over their baby's And that's one minute. What say you about Lindsay Hubbard showing her baby on in the city, but putting emojis over the baby's face on Instagram?
Starting point is 01:41:48 I say businesswoman. I say Lindsay Hubbard, whatever you want to do. She explained it, actually. She explained it. I guess it's also about training the algorithm or AI and or AI with photos of babies. I guess that's part of it. Okay, but again, don't post. No, no, it does not take away from this.
Starting point is 01:42:05 You know who ate really quickly? Dara. Dara was amazing. Eight. She had her moment of the season. She had one thesis to get across. Yeah. And she did it twice.
Starting point is 01:42:15 Yep. Perfectly. Yep. When prompted, she was like, here it is. And here it is. Not a butt or a like in the sentence. Yeah. Just like really, really, really nailed.
Starting point is 01:42:24 Scholarly. Yeah. But putting it at Amanda's feet to be like, it's up to you. Yeah. You decide what you want to do with this information that you know and we all know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:33 You have to decide what it's worth. Ooh. Tough. That was crazy. Really. hard. Really hard stuff. Well.
Starting point is 01:42:41 And also this season of reality television concluded three weeks ago. Yeah. You in the future. We have no way of knowing what happens in the future. But in the city is ongoing. Mm-hmm. Very good. Those strangers.
Starting point is 01:42:55 You can see. Those strangers, including Lindsay Hubbard's child, Gemma. No, Gemma, you can get to know on in the city. You just can't get to know Gemma on Instagram. No. But my problem within the city, we start another podcast, is that I guess most of them are like a bit too normal sauce for me and I'm like I want to hang out with my friends
Starting point is 01:43:13 I want to hang out with my friends who is the cast of Summerhouse I don't know these people and it's giving a touch too normal sauce for me yeah it's I mean it's giving a touch the valley for me in a way that is not the valley gave and now is too dark but it gave when it gave yes yes are you current on the
Starting point is 01:43:31 valley so you're watching the adventures of Lala Kent how's she doing you know what I will say she's she's found the right lane for herself on the show. Which is like truth teller. Truth teller, oppositional to the right person and also trying to like be nice to everyone. Like she's
Starting point is 01:43:47 trying to, she is trying to not be the villain and she is trying to make sure that she is in both camps a little bit until she gets the lay of the land and she figures it out. I like, I can admire that. I respect the movie. I've always loved Lala. It's a game. I'm a Lala fan. I went dressed as her and watched what happens live. Oh wow. Um,
Starting point is 01:44:03 you know, I was not a deep Fanderpump Watcher, so I don't, I don't have the relationship that you have with Lala. Are you gonna or are you watching love island? I don't know that I have the bandwidth for it. It is on five days a week. I literally like I don't want to see peers, which is why Rhode Island is actually hard for me because there are now housewives younger than me.
Starting point is 01:44:23 I know, we parted with. There's a housewife named Kelsey now. We were with her at Chatella. I know. And she sounds lovely, but like she is. I don't want to see a housewife named Kelsey. Yeah. Call her something else.
Starting point is 01:44:35 Call her match. Call her match. Call her K. Michelle. Hell. We always end every episode with a song. Sometimes I run. Sometimes. Sometimes I'm scared of you. I was just doing the background vocal.
Starting point is 01:44:48 I was doing the ad libs. I was going to let you do the melody of this time. Watch Fire Island. Anyway. It's the fifth anniversary. Fourth. Las Culturacis is the production by Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and Iheart Radio podcasts.
