Look, man. Oh, I see.
Wow. Oh, and look over there.
Wow, is that culture? Yes.
Goodness. Wow. Las Culturistas.
Ding dong. Las Culturistas. Ding dong.
Las Culturistas calling.
My sister in the chat.
My sister has entered the chat.
You look, you still have the same glow, the same sun kiss on you from the island.
I might have done a shirtless hike before.
Today?
Oh, my God.
I missed Griffin.
Oh, Griffith, mama. Griffith.
I'm sorry. How dare you? It's actually
really close to number eight. It's Griffith.
It's Griffith. How dare you?
How dare you? I meant to say Griffith. I actually
knew it was Griffith as soon as the word
Griffin left my mouth, I thought. You knew it wasn't
right. I screwed up. I messed up.
I actually want to reveal this to the readers.
So, Bowen Yang
famously came to visit me in Los Angeles
after my breakup last year.
And he came to my aid,
and you got right on a plane like my sister
and the other half of my heart.
Was so happy to.
It was not an inconvenience for me.
I had to be there.
And you got here during one of your breaks from SNL,
famous sketch comedy program. More on that in a second and you get here and we're having several days of fun yeah except one
day you say and i brought you to griffith and i sort of showed you griffith we hiked griffith
yes and one day you say to me i think i'm just gonna chill today and just like hang out I was like okay so I go for a hike
no no no
we both needed a day
I think we both
it was a mutually agreed upon day
like a separate day
which is so healthy of us
yeah
and then
we truly had the same idea
because I'm sort of hiking Griffith
I look a hundred yards in front of me
and it could have been no one else's calves
but the iconic calves of one
bowen yang stomping the yard getting the steps climbing the heights of griffith and i ran to him
and i said our break is over i'm hiking with you again and i said oh God, is this real? Is this you? And I think that's just the way the world is telling us
that we cannot be apart for too long.
No, no.
Even though we create the distance for a good reason,
like magnetic poles.
We know codependency, okay?
Oh, we've seen it.
We've seen it up close and personal.
We've seen it up close and personal.
I know Michelle Obama.
Hey, clown.
Jester, you have done it again.
Constantly raising the bar for the circus
and doing it foolishly.
So get this.
Get this.
This is probably going to be my favorite episode
we've ever done.
Oh my God, I agree.
I agree with you that it's going to be your favorite episode
that we've ever done
and my favorite episode we've ever done.
This has been a long time coming.
This is written in the stars.
It was written in the stars, as Aida the show once said.
And I will say this.
Two episodes into Schmigadoon, a show that my sister wrote for.
Oh, bro. Oh, come oh come on well you wrote for
the show consulting producer you know like that kind of the entry point you know writer's room
what is lifting i'm just i'm just i'm just demystifying this for for the reader i'm just
letting you know that like how perfect is it that that it was my first post-snl writer's room for it to be a show that was that is about you know oscars and hammerstein musical or that era
of movie musical oscars and hammerstein you know that one no stop i just i literally just woke up
from a nap don't do this it's true i facetimed you right before and you had the blinders on
you sleep with those things i can i tell you my circadians are fucked ever since I've worked at Saturday Night Live,
a sketch program.
More on that later.
Circadian rhythm.
Such a sort of, I love the way that sounds.
Circadian rhythm.
Something about those words.
The blank fills itself.
Circadians.
It's one of those.
Anyway, I need that to sleep now because yeah i need i these have like padding
on them that really press down on your on your sort of orbital bones and your right and your
brow bones in a way that really relaxes you immediately i highly recommend um yeah anyway
we're surprised to see you wearing them what i was gonna say was that this year we're both getting
our first episode credits oh we are

You're in the Zoom.
Here we are.
I am in.
I have missed Griffin.
I'm here.
I'm so happy
oh my god we're so happy to have you I literally
you're my favorite
I fucking love you I'm upset
honestly like it was like when Bowen
first got the job at SNL and Sudi first got the job
at SNL I was like Cecily what's
your life I have to know everything
and I said the same thing to
my dog about Bowen and Sudi
that's who I talk to.
Lucy.
That's my Sid.
Yeah.
I mean, I can't believe it's taken this long to do this show.
The fate's aligned in this way.
No, I can't believe it.
But this is a worthwhile occasion.
I needed to wait until you were a consulting producer.
Yeah.
Until Bowen got to that level.
Until I was a consulting producer and I got an got to that level until i was a consulting producer
and i'd gotten an eye mask with padding on it and yes for you to have a book coming out oh we
forgot to mention the damn book um oh my god we can't hear jesus this will all be okay in the end
it's it's it's really i mean it's i love that you just called it This Will All Be Okay in the End. Wait, what is it?
No.
The title is This Will All Be Over Soon.
No.
Oh, my God.
But you know what?
Griffin Park and This Will All Be Okay.
I love that.
No, this will all be over soon. Are you kidding?
I love it.
I've been tearing through it.
I've been reading it so diligently.
And you got a more This Will All Be Okay in the end.
Kind of fine. This will all be over will all be over soon no you can't oh my god you can't you can't yeah that's the sequel that's you can't
oh my god this will all be you know a thing at some point oh no griffin park's own bowen what did i do what did i do
last last week i did this i i fucked up a name i really gotta like get my head checked or something
my favorite thing is when people mess up names but they're strong and wrong about it like sudi
green is the best with this she said to me what did what did she say? You know Chris Colfer from Glee?
Yeah.
One time she just said so many times, Chris Koffner.
She was like, Chris Koffner, you know, Chris Koffner.
And then she said, Christy Brinkley,
when she meant to talk about Christine Baranski.
And so she's just like a fount of that.
So maybe you're just catching the bug, Beau.
My roommate and gay husband kevin
is very much that way i like to think of it as like a midwest mom thing he also was like tell
them i say hi oh sure tell them you say hi on the podcast i'll start with that now here i am doing
it but like one time i was making lentil soup and he was like and you're making yentl soup tonight papa can you make me hello
yes papa can you legume me oh shit bro yeah well you know what i just think i must be forgiven i
demand forgiveness because this nap which i timed to end minutes before this started.
But when I've had some red wine,
8 p.m. to me is like midnight.
Wine o'clock.
We actually,
I have a Moscow mule.
And can I tell you?
Right.
I was going to ask.
Yeah.
But I didn't want to,
you know,
bring up anything personal.
Right.
Well,
this could be anything.
I mean,
I have, I have a delivery. This this is this is pho broth okay well that's a plastic alcoholic pho maybe something i
don't know not for me for the girls out there alcoholic pho yeah i'm not that's not for me
either no what what what red wine are you drinking i'm, so I have, I get cases of red Burgundy scent.
Oh, gorgeous.
I'm a member of the Burgundy, this is Elgin Selections, yeah.
I used to belong to a wine club, and I felt that it was,
and it really encouraged me to drink a lot of it.
And then all of a sudden, you have so much.
I know, but I've gone beyond the wine club and I just ordered the cases.
But I do love red burgundy.
How's it hitting you tonight?
What's it doing for you?
You know, it's nice.
I'm feeling a little silly.
I think I have TMJ.
Oh, no.
What?
Is that like pre-lock jaw?
What is that?
I think.
Who could know? I just
know that it was, I was, my
jaw is hurting me.
Well, you know, how much can you
open said jaw? Why don't you show us?
Why don't you show us?
But it's in here.
Is it cracking? Oh yeah, no. It's cracking.
It's doing like the like,
you know, kind of pops.
Oh no. Oh, no.
Oh, shoot.
You know what?
That's been happening to me lately, too.
And I just.
Has it?
I need to come out of the shadows and say that it's been happening to me because it happens and I get so frightened.
And I'm like, oh, my jaw is literally coming off the hinges that I'm too afraid to tell anybody.
And that's the first thing you need to do in order to make the situation better.
I know.
I tell everybody because I assume it's cancer right anytime yes it's got to be the worst thing
you know what's interesting about opening mouths i had a singing teacher in uh or uh
in like college i took like voice lessons for two semesters and he said to me one time
you know men when they sing,
don't have to open up their mouths as big as women.
And I was like,
is that true?
And he was like,
yes,
because male resonators are different.
And I was like,
I don't,
I think you're just using a bunch of words,
but like,
he was like,
when you sing,
you shouldn't have to open your mouth very wide.
You actually,
you don't have to,
but women it's different.
And I was like, cause we have to but women it's different and i was like because
we have to flirt at the same time and you flirt by showing your damn tonsils uh-huh that dangly
thing that's swinging the back of my throat yeah but i also think that's not true called it the
cathedral oh it's my cathedral darling yeah fran bennett you've been using your cathedral quite a bit
on the apple plus tv show schmigadoo oh that was very good we finally got to it
um wait i have i have to say now two episodes are out so far and i'm obsessed with it i i
everything about it i love like i love thembles, the way that they shoot the scenes.
I love the long shots that don't cut away.
I love that we're just seeing performers.
I love the singing live.
Because if it's not live, it's faked really well.
Is it singing live?
Yes.
It's singing live.
Yeah.
But is it Les Mis style where you all have an earwig in?
We all have earwigs.
I think there was only one part that I've done so far that I know wasn't live.
And that was the very end of Enjoy the Ride because we were in the tunnel and there were like these three big men pulling us.
Oh.
And so it was like, oh, you know, and sloshing water.
So we couldn't record that sound live.
Yeah.
So is that the end of episode two?
That's the end of episode two.
Where you sort of go into the tunnel of love with Aaron Tveit.
And that's how we get through the tunnel of love.
Mm-hmm.
These men are pulling us.
It's three men lugging you.
Wow.
Movie magic.
In Waiters, yeah.
Movie magic, Beau.
Movie magic.
Well, it really is.
I mean, that's the whole point, right?
And like the direction,
like Barry Sonnenfeld is a genius.
And that long shot specifically that really hit me was,
I think it was in the pilot when Aaron,
when Danny Bailey sings to Cecily,
Can't Be Tamed or that song.
He's so good and hot.
In the beginning, it's just a long, long take. And I or that song. He's so good and hot.
It's just a long, long take.
People are loving it. I'm loving that.
What?
That he's hot?
The Aaron Tveit heat on the internet.
Oh, yeah.
It's been there. I mean, ever since Grease Slot.
That's when I found out about him.
Mama, ever since Next to Normal.
Yes, Next to Normal. I had not seen Next to Normal to normal and actually when i did end up seeing next to normal um he wasn't in it he had moved on as you
know people and people move on they move on they do um but he had gone and i was so bummed because
i remember seeing him on the tony awards and i was like who is that he's good and hot he's good
he's great he's great he's great. He's great. He's great.
He's great.
Dove Cameron.
What a legend.
Name another legend.
A freaking legend.
What's her deal?
Yeah.
I mean,
she's,
she's sort of like unreal.
I mean,
I don't know.
She's kind of like,
you know how you meet some people and you're like,
I'll never be cool enough to understand your world.
Is that dove? That's dove to me. i think she's just so i mean it's like devil asked me like when we were at the doing the premiere parties and it was like
what are you gonna wear are you gonna change when we go to allen's and i was like am i gonna change
are you have a second look i barely got this look together i'm hoping this stays on me
and then she's like wearing a leather pants and jacket ensemble and then she was like what are
you gonna wear to your party and i was like i don't even know i can't tell you dove i can't
tell you my favorite dove cameron moment is when she was doing this is a deep dive but she was doing
Hairspray Live
and I
I mean Amber Von Tussle is a part
for Legends Only
and I did see the original Broadway
cast with Laura Bell Bundy and the
High Harmony was
launching I mean I had chills
I was the gayest little kid there
and I was crying when i heard
the high harmony and you can't stop the beat my mother my mother turns me and she's like why are
you crying it's a happy song and i was like i can't tell you now how gay i am like but that's
why um but anyway she played amber von tussle in the the hairspray live and there was a part where
i don't know i think it was on Jennifer Hudson's Instagram.
Jennifer Hudson was recording Dove singing and you just hear Jennifer screaming in the back,
Sing, Dove!
Sing, Dove!
Sing!
Screaming at her the word sing.
And I was just like,
And she did.
Can you imagine Jennifer Hudson screaming the word sing at you?
And your name being Dove. I? And your name being Dove.
I wish.
Your name being Dove.
How are these parties, tell us.
Oh, they were so great.
We missed you.
We miss our consulting producer, but you do what you have to do.
I know.
I'm out of town.
She's booked and busy.
I feel like I'm in purgatory right now
I'm neither here nor there
on my coast which sounds so
elitist of me but
I feel like nothing's
happening in my world
well I think that's not true
I think that's abject falsity
I'm just saying
there's things happening obviously
but I'm like I feel like I'm like away
from the action and I've kind of just been like
he wants to be at the party
there's not that much action
we had two parties
you threw one?
I threw one
that's right I couldn't come because you invited me
I think I saw the email and I was like well I can't go
but I am going to see you
soon for

This is all going to end.
This is all going to be okay.
This is all going to be okay in the end.
Before we know it.
Before we know it.
This is us.
This is the perfect, we've slipped into some perfect, can we call it guerrilla marketing or whatever?
It's like, this is, please.
As a guerrilla, I say, yes. Here's how you gorilla i say yes here's how you mark it baby here's how
you mark it i feel like now no one listening will forget the title this will all be over soon

It's such a testament to who both of you are.
Oh my gosh.
You're so wonderful.
You know, I don't know if the people out there know this,

The cunt names.
Well, I'm kind of, I'm always going there.
Yeah.
I'm always thinking about sound and rhythms.
What are the sounds?
What are the sounds of the situation?
That's great.
You want me somewhere, but what are the sounds? What are the sounds of the situation? What are the sounds you know what are the what are the sounds of the situation that's great you want me somewhere but what are the sounds what are the sounds involved sort of

i love a good consonant well here's the thing i can't be serious for a second
boan i've been waiting for you to be serious this whole time i've been waiting i know
but there's something about okay there's there's something about Schmigadoon,
you know, being the stacked cast
full of, you know, musical theater people.
And then there's something about,
there's something to us
as fans of sketch comedy
and us as people who can, like,
track queer sensibility
or find it in people
and Cecily being someone
who can deliver on that always.
Always.
There's something about
Terrazano specifically where there's something about terizano
specifically where there's a moment in the end i'm sorry i'm sorry cecily we're bringing up
terizano's sorry this is co-wrote it with franta sudi okay you never do this to me yes that's it
you know bowen i knew what you were gonna do it's it's the way she says this to me
we never do this to me stop yelling at me my dad was a really messed up guy
messed up guy
this to me
not a Tarantanos
and then Gosling
is losing it
yeah
Gosling's losing it
bringing up the dad
the tough relationship
with the dad
he's a really
messed up guy
he's a really
messed up guy

Stop.
Her action is stop.
You know and you know it.
And everyone understands everything that she's saying in her head.
They all feel sorry for her.
Her story is the toughest.
Her dad was a really mess of kind.
Readers, you have to watch the Terrazano sketch.
Literally, just type in SNL Terrazano Cecily.
You'll find it.
And that hair is just so bad.
Oh, iconic.
It can't be.
The Kyle Richards sort of moment.
I can't.
By the way, we have to talk about Housewives later because I know you love

movies is chances are i was like you and robert downey jr louis wasn't that his name yes yes um
and so she was like she turns to me and she goes oh you know he couldn't be allowed he couldn't be
left alone at that time you know he had to have something with him at all times couldn't go to the bathroom alone
he really
you know that was a hard time
but you know we had the chemistry
we had the chemistry
so that's why
so I was just like
and I was just
my jaw was on the ground
I was like
I love the movie
I think the most
whenever people are like
what movie made you
cry the most
my answer for such a long time
was Heart and Souls
Cecily
I always talk about Heart and Souls.
You do?
Heart and Souls.
I've never seen it.
Kira Sedgwick.
Alfre Woodard.
Forget it.
Mr. Hug-a-bug, hug-a-bug, hug-a-bug.
I'll cry now.
Be careful.
Oh, my God.
He won't be there.
It was so good.
Bowen, you must.
It's like so like it's so romantic
is the wrong word but it's so like um it's like 90 early 90s cheese but in the best way
like oh my god charles groden tom sizemore rdj killing it miss elizabeth shoe oh we love
elizabeth shoe yes this sounds very baroqueantic is not the word. Baroque is,
we need to start describing things
as Baroque more when it applies.
And I think,
I've never seen Heart and Souls,
but I feel like it applies.
But you think it's Baroque.
Baroque.
That's what you got no money.
Baroque bitch.
That is Baroque.
Baroque bitch.
Wait,
wait, but that movie
at the end where Keira Sedgwick goes,
go and live the life
that I don't get to live.
And our DJ is just like,
yeah. And she goes,
I wish I could just give you a big hug.
And then they can.
This is a spoiler. Anyway, it's so good.
That line reading was honestly
gave me goosebumps.
Matt's very good at the recital.
I'm an amazing actress.
People don't know yet, but they will.
I've started to book more roles in film and television.
Now, have you done a lot of Keira Sedgwick?
I feel like you should do more.
Well, you know, Keira Sedgwick is not far away from my best character, which is Sutton Strack.
Yes, yes.
Oh, really?
Of course I know Sutton.
This word violate is really too much for me.
I violated you?
Wait, I need to bring out a thing to just,
I'm using this to relax my face.
It's so I don't cry.
It's so I don't cry.
Do you feel like crying?
Yeah, I do.
As a white woman who got called racist.
I don't want to talk about race.
Hey, we're not gonna do the implosion of white
women this season on oh yeah new york and beverly hills it's amazing what do you think both of you
i want to know what you think about the the real housewives of new york ratings being so bad
and now there's like all they're blaming they're blaming ebony ebony are you kidding me it's unbelievable crazy
ebony is like i i think ebony is so amazing and wonder and i'm like i don't know how she does it
i don't know how you can want to be around that all the time and she has so much patience
and then to be blamed and there's a ramona singer in the world and we're blaming Ebony. Bowen is the number one anti-Ramona Singer girl.
Oh, I don't know if he,
I think I, we could be competitive in this.
I have really, really not liked Ramona Singer
for a long time.
Oh yes, I'm sure that's true.
But I think I've thrown away my chances
of being asked back on Watch What Happens Live because I did it over Zoom last fall.
And they did a segment where they were like, okay, Bowen, you're just going to like rattle off your thoughts about housewife stuff between Potomac and New York and all this stuff.
And I was like, sure.
And then they got to Ramona.
I was like, she's a white supremacist and blah, blah, blah.
They didn't show it.
Well, then Ebony tried to ask it.
So, clearly you did make a mark. and blah blah they didn't show it well then Anthony tried to ask it so yeah
you did make
a mark
I hit a nerve
but Andy seems like
actually peed
I don't know
why would you be
why would you be
going to say that
white supremacist
I wouldn't
I wouldn't use those words
I don't know
why we have to
can we just talk about
something fun
I don't want to talk
about a girlfriend stuff
I don't want to talk
about race
religion
or creed
what
I don't want to talk
about this all the time that's not what I want to come out I want to talk about race, religion, or creed. What? I don't want to talk about this all the time. That's not what I want to come
out. I want to be sexy
and have fun.
I want to push her down the stairs.
I've said this. I don't want to talk about COVID.
I'm talking about COVID.
COVID this, COVID that.
She's a super spreader.
And that needs to be said.
I love all the times
that show the camera and she's just
on the side of a pool.
Adjusting her face.
Posing.
All you need to know to know just how
unhinged that woman is, is you have to remember
how she walked down that runway that one time.
Oh my god.
And her father drank a lot actually.
So this is actually very triggering.
Very triggering.
This is a really inhabited,
a very lived in, literally, Ramona.
This is very good.
Have you worked on this?
I just watch so much TV.
And the Housewives really a lot.
And this season especially.
80 always would be like,
I'll do,
I have,
I can do impressions
like as the show's happening.
Yes.
Oh,
and then when they're off.
Yeah.
Interesting.
I will forget
who Sutton Strack is
after this season.
But right now,
she's my number one impression.
Sutton.
I just love
how they all,
how they said her name.
That's Sutton.
Well, that's just Sutton being Sutton. Classic Sutton. I just love how they said her name. That's Sutton. Well, that's just Sutton being Sutton.
Classic Sutton.
Classic Sutton.
Can we also talk about,
what do we think about whoever is dressing Sutton?
Okay.
You know, some of them are heads.
There's some misses, but yeah, who's dressing Sutton?
I mean, for the confessional look.
Sutton is not like an unattractive
person no she doesn't have a bad figure but sutton's being dressed poorly she has very expensive
clothes right she clearly has taste if she's like running her own boutique but it's like i think
she's just hiring a bad stylist quote unquote for these for the show she looks like a fake christmas
tree she looks like a fake christmas tree she looks like a fake
christmas tree like like a fun christmas tree that someone gets like and they're like it's a
different color than usual because we want it to be different this year it's like why she looks
like that shirts her it's tacky yeah and also and i want to ask her like how when's the last time
you've gotten a compliment that wasn't like this this is fun and different. Like when people only say fun about what you're wearing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's like,
she can look great.
She's in great shape.
I just would love to challenge Sutton.
If you're listening to,
you know,
get a different stylist and see what you can do.
Cause I bet you look great.
Who is the best dress to you guys?
On Beverly Hills?
Out of everyone.
I'm very loyal with my fandom and it's always Erica.
Yeah.
Erica is inspired art for you.
I mean,
yes.
And I'm supporting her through all of this.
And I think Dorit is like,
she's gotten whatever,
but it's like Dorit is just wanting to be Erica Dorit is the one that
said your panties are showing or you're not wearing panties here's panties which is like
the most conservative nasty thing to do and then it's like now she's in bucket hats and dressed
like LL Cool J yeah playing lawn darts or whatever it was this season. Remember, what did they
not know? They were like, what's this called? Horseshoe?
What is that? Yeah, they didn't know Bocce, I
think. And she was truly dressed like LL
Cool J. Yeah.
She is. She always goes for
it. And like, the thing is, like, I wonder.
I actually, yeah. And that's
yeah. I'm actually doing like an LL
Cool J thing right now. I don't know
Erica.
What did you think about Erica?
When you hear what's going on.
I'm just worried she cheated all those people.
And now I'm doing a wedding line that I'm really excited about.
Orphans and widows?
I mean, when you read it, it's really sad.
It's really sad.
It's really sad.
And I'm loving my room in Bucca di Beppo.
Wait, it was the only thing that was going to me out to buco di beppo i was like
i need to go in what's it called the sunrise room or whatever the fuck the the it's like an italian
name i forget but it's i must go i must go and like she kept saying all these like oh please i
would have an easier time getting george to make with a woman. And it was like the same, like,
these are like my gay jokes
that I tell.
Boy, George would never fuck a woman.
He's gay.
He's gay. Because he's gay.
So he would never, ever make out with a woman.
But I would have better luck getting him to do that.
Jagger.
It's like half Bjork. It really
like starts to like dip into Bjork
or Icelandic or something.
Her accent is so
peculiar. It's untraceable and she would
say it's because she's a citizen of the world.
And when you're a citizen of the world,
you pick up all different cultures.
That's true. I've been
watching it with my mom and
she laughed at
Dorit being like, when you
insult someone's outfit, that
is below the belt.
Have you ever
heard Heidi talk about
their, like, the way they greet each other?
No, who's they?
It's my favorite. Like the housewives
because they spend so long and they're like,
oh, I love this. What is this? Is this pink?
Look at this. It's pink. I love it. Guess what it is. I'm wearing. Yes, I'm wearing what you wore.
I'm wearing the purple. That's really fun. Look at you. This is fun. Oh, look at this.
Look at the wall. Oh, my God. Table. Table. I love it. And you're in pink and this is table okay ah what fun a lot of a lot of airtime
is dedicated to like what people look like literally because it's like kathy thinking
that garcelle was kyle like that that took up like multiple what do we think is happening there
oh we love her perfection utter perfection every now and then I get a really good Kathy Hilton.
Because you know she doesn't move her forehead.
She'll be like.
Who is Hunky Dory?
No.
You know what?
I keep losing.
Red Bull has caffeine.
Red Bull has caffeine.
It's who is Hunky Dory?
She's genuinely asking.
Who is Hunky Dory?
Tomasina.
Peeping Tomasina.
And what I loved is when she was like, she goes to Rinna. You have to handle this. This is your house. Thomasina peeping Thomasina and I love
what I loved
is when she was like
she goes to Rinna
you have to handle this
this is your house
this is your house
you have to make this right
and what we don't want to do
is push anyone
to the edge
oh my god
and you know
she was such a bully
oh yeah
with her drinking game
yeah
but I was just showing
out of context
the bunny the context the bunny.
The bunny?
The bunny for the baby shower.
Uh-huh.
And it was like, that scene, just out of context, is so amazing.
Their faces in it.
I highly recommend a second view.
Oh, and actually, I brought the bunny.
And there's so many close-ups.
Everybody's like crying.
And the bunny's in that wrapping paper.
So for the ASMR fans too.
Yeah.
It's huge.
It's good for everyone.
It's good for everyone.
There's something for everyone in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,
but never more so than that scene with the bunny.
Anyone has a way in.
Yes.
The news development this week on the Erica front is troubling
maybe. She got hit with the $25 million.
The claim is that she
took $25 million
from Tom's firm
that might have been embezzled from
these clients. And
this is starting to actually implicate her
in all this stuff, I think.
I think the money, for sure,
there's like monies intertwined.
I don't think Erica knew what Tom's doing.
And look at the way he talks to her.
Do you think that man told her a thing
about what he does?
And also, I don't think she would,
not to say like she couldn't understand it,
but I don't think she would understand it
because it's not her business.
And also like, and when I say that,
I mean like it's literally not a business
that she works in
understands i don't tell you know if just because i'm dating someone i don't tell them what i'm
doing no exactly he and he's just not telling her anything no and not that she's mother theresa or
a great person but i just don't think erica was like i think's so, we always like drag a spouse in and especially like the woman's fault somehow.
You know, like Jenny Jones, it was her fault, right?
And not a homophobic man who shot another man.
Guys, I'm bringing it back to Jenny.
I've been upset about this for a long time.
Matt, were you obsessed with Jenny Jones growing up?
No.
Okay.
She wasn't my girl of choice
I was more
Ricky was more my culture
I fucking love Ricky
Ricky had a poem
There was always a rhyme introducing
I forget
I was just watching my friend Shane
sent me one recently
It was like you're too fat
to be a drag queen or something But it you're too fat to to be a drag queen or
something but it said you're too bad to be a drag queen jack sprat could eat no fat and his wife
could eat no lean girl you are too fat to be a drag queen and it was and then every time they
introduced someone they'd be like next up meet cely. She is a 525 pound father of three.
And it was like, how dare?
But also, like, that's how I want to be introduced from now on.
This is Cecily, a 525 pound father of three.
Father of three.
And her friend Bowen says
she is too fat to be a drag queen.
She's here to promote the book
This Is Us Not Going Anywhere Soon
Till the End of the World.
And again, she is a 525 pound
father of three.
Honestly, wow.
Okay, so I didn't know that
that new information came out about Erica.
But Bowen, what are you thinking?
I'm thinking,
I keep getting pulled in all these different directions,
but I think I'm landing
at a place where Matt and I watched
the most recent episode together where she
meets Kyle, and she
fully has a breakdown,
and you're like, I'm kind of convinced that...
I do think Bravo is, you know, doing their best to, quote unquote, protect her,
which I think is valid and noble and whatever.
But now I am convinced that, like, she probably just had no fucking idea.
I think that two things can be true.
I think that she can have no idea what the hell that was.
And I think that she also might have idea what the hell that was and i think
that she also might have to give that money back because it's not hers i don't think that i don't
mean to say i'm not on her side and that she should keep that money no i just don't think
she should go to prison of course not or be like or be implicated in like i cheated people out of
a plane crash or whatever you know what i mean
it's that's when she's like i sing very gay songs yeah at gay club what i'm not here to like cheat
victims yeah it is so it is kind of funny though that like pretty much her entire narrative on the show and in her career is, I have a lot of money. And now it's like,
the money is from these tragedies.
And that like, you know,
not all of it, obviously,
because he worked on other things,
but like, you know,
it's dark and sad.
And I think she'll be fine.
I do.
She will be.
I think like she didn't start off with money and she
like talks about that she's always worked hard i think it's like now the narrative will be i got
less money like i think she'll make the new narrative and she'll be fine she didn't need
tom's business ever no maybe like very early on to get started to buy some things but she's always
been talented she's always been talented and i have
to i'm sorry to bring this back to estenelle but the one thing i appreciate about your sketch where
you played her basically is something that my my parents really appreciate is um is that you do you
know what i'm about to talk about to say where you know i'm just laughing that your parents loved it
is the part where you you're singing the song and then you count to five in Chinese or you count to four in Chinese.
You go, E-R-S-S.
In Mandarin, yeah.
Man, it's so funny.
Anyway, it's a perfect Erica Jade impression,
we have to say.
Well, you know, when I did a Chinese opera in college
directed by Chen Shizheng.
You did a Beijing opera?
Mm-hmm. Well, Chen Shizheng. You did a Beijing opera? Mm-hmm.
Well, Chen Shizheng directed it, but that's why I know how to count to eight in Mandarin.
Oh, my God.
And I was playing a three-teen prostitute.
We went, ah, yeah, and then we, yeah, and I was the head of the ukulele group.
Oh, my God. I was the uk of the ukulele group. Group?
Oh, my.
Brigade.
I was the ukulele captain of the prostitutes.
Oh, my God.
What a powerful position to be in.
You can be the ukulele captain of the prostitutes.
Is that what you said?
Yeah.
It's either that or Baroque bitch.
I don't know.
I kind of like Baroque bitch.
Baroque bitch.
That's just a good one.
This fall on Bravo.
It's time to turn up.
Think you've seen it all?
I don't think you've been a good friend to me lately.
We're friends like that.
Who needs enemies?
You ain't seen nothing yet.

My latest episode is with Jelly Roll.
This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had.
We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13
to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate delusional dreamer and the desperate part had me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble.
I encourage delusional dreamers.
Be a delusional dreamer.
Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer.
I just had such an anger.
I was just so mad at life.
Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine.
I had such a victim mentality.
I took zero accountability for anything in my life.
I was the kid that if you asked what happened,
I immediately started with
everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999,
a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel.
I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to who he belongs with. His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzales wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.
Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
We have to ask Cecily the question.
We do have to ask the question.
Bowen, what's the question?
I forgot. Cecily, the question is, we ask this to all of our guests,
and that is,
what is the culture that made you say,
culture is for me?
This is formative culture
that made your life move into a cultural direction.
Sure.
Well, I would say that my culture,
for sure,
was Strangers with Candy.
Oh.
There we go.
Here we go.
And I watched it on a landline,
dragged out in front of the TV
with my gay friend, Graham Kostick.
Have we talked about this before?
No, but is this the Graham we know in New York City?
Different Graham.
Different Graham.
Different Graham.
Okay.
But it was like,
I was like a sophomore in high school
and we would just be on the landlines laughing, watching Strangers of Candy together.
And was this your gateway into like Second City and like who Amy Sedaris was and like all these things?
Definitely Amy Sedaris.
But, and I also like, I'm always, I think like weirdly waiting for Guffman and all the Christopher Guest movies, Catherine O'Hara and Strangers with Candy.
And then, weirdly enough, Bottle Rocket were like my favorite formative comedy.
And like, this is my world.
But especially Strangers with Candy, it was like the fans of that show and me.
It was like, that's my world.
Those are my people.
These are all really good.
Bottle Rocket's interesting, too. like that's my world those are my culture these are all really good bottle rockets interesting
too like that's like that's a wes anderson that like people it's the first one it's the first one
yeah i love i think owen wilson is so funny in that movie he's great i mean like i i i don't
think i've ever seen him in anything i didn't like him and i found him like very appealing
and i think he's like a star and i love his little nose i think he's fat i had such a crush on him for so long
but it felt like i think wes anderson without owen wilson is just not doesn't do it for me
it doesn't think no and i think like the movies are great and they look cool but i think owen
wilson is so funny and there's just something about just like such a person with low self-esteem,
you know,
like just kind of like not a,
who's not great at things,
but that you root for.
Yeah.
I mean,
was that,
was that,
was that the first Luke and Owen feature?
Like,
like was that the first time you saw that?
Like you were introduced to him?
Yeah.
Cause they,
they did it in college.
It was like a 15 minute film.
And then they,
they made a full movie.
And I will say,
this is the one where I always have like,
my gay friends will go now that's interesting.
And which one was that again?
It's like,
we're all on board for best in show and strangers of candy.
And my bottle rockets really where I D where I go off onto my own.
No,
I love that though,
because bottle rocket, there's something No, I love that though, because Bottle Rocket,
there's something about,
I feel like,
and I'm not just saying this
because you're contextualizing it
with these other queer works,
but I'm like,
I feel like,
because I think Waiting for Guffman
and Strangers with a Candy
are kind of queer in some sense.
Very much so.
I would say very, yeah.
It's almost exclusively.
If there's a drag race challenge about you,
it's like...
Yes.
But Waiting for Guffman, I feel like,
doesn't...
Well, you know, I mean, like...
Corky.
I mean, like, Corky is gay.
Gay icon.
I mean, if Parker Posey's given a chance to shine,
you've got a queer...
Teacher's pet.
Teacher's pet. Come on. You've got a queer... Teacher's pet. Teacher's pet.
Come on.
You've got a queer ride.
I got a great pantsuit for my wife, Bonnie.
And he's in a Judy Tanuta shirt, dancing.
Oh my God.
But Bottle Rocket is...
I watched it last summer, weirdly,
because I was researching crime movies.
Not crime movies, but like...
Wait, no.
Am I getting it wrong? no am i getting it wrong
you might be i don't know but i want to hear more no no it wasn't it's not quite no i was trying to
write i was trying to write a crime movie and then i wanted some dynamic to be like similar to
bottle rocket where it's um owen like the owen wilson character is kind of dragging luke's
character along and all these like and all these schemes and luke is luke has is kind of dragging Luke's character along and all of these, like,
and all these schemes.
And Luke is,
Luke has just kind of been broken out of this,
like,
you know,
he didn't even get broken.
Yeah.
He was in a mental hospital, but it was voluntary.
But,
and then the doctor's like,
why are you jumping out of the window?
And he's like,
he didn't know that it's a voluntary hospital and he kind of needs this.
So he's pretending
to break out for Owen Wilson
who's going like,
call, call.
He needs that.
He needs that. And they do go on to
pull off all these heists.
Well, they rob
Luke Wilson's house.
Right.
And he takes the earrings and he's like,
you said,
I told you just don't take the earrings.
Right.
I got those for my mom for her birthday.
Yeah.
It's just a good,
like,
it's a great loser,
but lovable loser.
But,
and it's friendly.
His friend tries to take care of him.
Yeah.
You know what I'm realizing?
Owen Wilson does a lot of two-handers
like he's like a very he's like always loki too well i mean loki like the shanghai noon shanghai
nights of it all wedding crashers famously like it feels like owen wilson is great at reacting
he's just always he's just yeah he's he's there to underline what's what the reality is and what's going on. Yeah. I appreciate it, too.
Someone who's great in an ensemble or a team.
Yeah.
Someone who can fade in but stand out.
You know what I mean?
We know you.
Exactly.
And support and lift and be there for the others and doesn't need all the attention
and lets other people shine.
I think it's great.
Cecily has her face all the way up to the camera. She's completely filled to the frame. And let other people shine. I think it's great. Cecily has her face all the way up to the camera.
She's completely filled to the frame.
And let other faces shine.
No, I remember, so wait, Strangers with Candy,
this is iconic gay Stephen Colbert.
Strangers with Candy is my favorite thing ever.
And you certainly, I know it's like so boring to be
like you couldn't do that show now you could you really couldn't but maybe you could i mean it's
so funny though that like you maybe could you know what you could do you could do like a 15 minute
show you know what i mean like you you could get like they could do like a 15 it could sneak in
there like the way like i think you should leave somehow snuck onto netflix and i'm like oh my god this is the funniest thing ever so funny that i almost can't believe it was made
fuck i know oh my god i think there is there is a really tiny sliver of space where you could make
it today because that is the character of jerry blank that she is like offensive to everybody um and but the problem is there's so many people who think like that's
what they do for comedy and they're like sure it's just offensive deal with it and you're like
but well it's not funny i wouldn't consider like amy sedaris to be like edgy comedian you know
like i don't think she was ever going she's a clown exactly there it is and but i mean it is
troubling to think like you could like you couldn't have like a principal black man
the kind of thing and like there are there's just so many good lines with the supermodel
in that episode it's like i'm doctor something something supermodel 10 years ago a modeling
agent told me what my dreams are and you can too and then when she takes the test
to see what her things it's like what's your favorite color lemon rest she's lying
what's your favorite animal kitten
i mean in the in the first scene of in the second scene of the first episode, you have Stephen Colbert writing on the chalkboard, and don't make it.
Fag me.
Yes.
Fag me.
And we don't know what exactly the Native Americans did to the buffalo, but it was something because they all committed suicide
by jumping in front of the white man's bullets.
You know, you know, I think that I hope you feel,
I'm going to tell you what people have told me
and that I haven't taken to heart,
as she pours some more burgundy.
You got to like really understand
like how wonderful you are on that show and on every show but but but
really on this show that is so tough to crack like you really are are pretty incredible well that's
very very sweet bowen i mean i think the world's a few and so i'll take that from you i think it's
like i love it so much and i you know was attached since 2018 or whatever and so i got take that from you. I think it's like, I love it so much and I, you know, was attached since 2018 or whatever.
And so I got a lot of time with the material
and got to say, hey, can we lower the key of this song,
et cetera.
But I think it's just, since I loved it so much,
it was, you know, and you love something,
so you'll be better at it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's,
it really is like so special.
There's something powerful about it being shot.
Like one of those,
you know,
golden age musicals.
And did you ever meet Chris Gatelli,
the choreographer?
No,
never met him.
I feel he is one of my favorite parts of this whole thing.
And I feel like my favorite note I've ever gotten.
And I think like,
you'll appreciate this.
And he was like,
when you just about how these old stars used to like flirt with the camera
really because of these wide shots.
And it was like,
you know,
these women are doing these scenes,
but it's like,
Oh,
he's turning out of the camera.
And it was like,
and if you'll notice next time you watch it,
anytime I dip in that show, my head is out to the camera. And was like and if you'll notice next time you watch it anytime i dip in that show my head is out to the camera and i think just from now on anytime i dip
i'm looking at a camera and i'm like thank you chris catelli that's my favorite note i've ever
gotten and i know we all should do that we all don't know if you just watched the jimmy fallon something stupid sketch i had a dip and i
head to camera this is one of those lifelong notes that you just really it really is it's
one of those oh i love it i love it i will say also like i had just had another light bulb moment
which is that kristin chenoweth played velma von tussle with dove cameron who was amber von tussle in the
hairspray thing and also just watching kristin chenoweth with dark hair playing this thing and
oh yes i do and like i just feel like she's just giving you every chenoweth at such a high level
and my one friend texted me he was like chenoweth is a standout on this show. And I was like, well, imagine she wasn't.
Imagine she wasn't.
Like, imagine Chenoweth came in and we were like, oh, yeah.
No, Chenoweth is going to come in and give it to you.
She didn't really bring it for this one.
She didn't really.
Chenoweth wasn't landing in this musical theater show called Schmigadoon.
She's so great.
And I feel like she was like the first that I was active, like, quoting. Because she does things like that. I guess I do. I guess I do. She has so great. And I feel like she was like the first that I was active, like quoting because she does things like that.
I guess I do.
She has another one.
She goes, OK, I'll do it.
I'll do it.
I'll do it.
That's in a later episode.
But just get ready for it.
OK, I'll do it.
And she's three foot six.
She's three foot six? She's three foot six.
And her hands are this big.
One of our shortest icons.
She's a tiny lady.
She is.
And then Alan singing that song in the second episode is so freaking funny.
Are you gay?
And so sweet.
I mean, I feel like I cried the whole thing anyway in a good way good tears good cries and i will say this speaking of crying
like the second episode you are so good and you're giving us parts of cecily that we've never seen
and that's what i love i'm like i like I like that scene. Spoiler alert, big,
big beat here.
So people can skip.
But when you guys decide you're going to be,
when you guys decide you're going to break up temporarily,
I'm sure I hope,
um,
you are so good in that scene.
I'm just like,
wow.
Like,
I don't know.
I just,
whenever,
whenever like my favorite people on
SNL get like like 80 with shrill and like I'm telling you when you guys see Vanessa in this show
Vanessa has a scene in the pilot Vanessa has a scene in the pilot where I'm just like I was
I literally I in the scene I'm like receiving the information she's like telling it to me
and I'm like I was literally crying and i'm like i i was literally crying and
i was like the camera isn't on me but they're good i'm giving good stuff but i'm crying because
she of her performance like it's so funny and so good and so whenever you guys get a chance to show
like another shade that isn't you guys being the best clowns i'm always like i just i get so excited
and and like in watching this i like, this is so exciting.
The cheers of a clown, as they say.
I think all of us
are very good criers.
I don't know
that I haven't
really been tested in that way
yet, and I'm really nervous
for that day.
I cried on high maintenance, but
yeah, I don't know.
It wasn't like, but it wasn't that kind of like really.
I would eat my shoe if you're not a good crier.
I know you are.
Because you feel things.
He's a really good crier in real life.
Like sometimes like Bowen in real life, when he cries,
you can tell he's been trying to hold it back.
And then he cries and you're like no
oh yeah
it doesn't happen often
I cried today to Bowen on FaceTime
oh yeah
I love to hear it I'm a big crier
you gotta you have to get these cries out
astrologically what's your deal
oh could you guess
are you a Scorpio?
No.
Are you a Taurus?
Oh, God.
I'm a Taurus moon.
I'm an Aquarius.
Aquarius.
Aquarius.
Okay, got it.
And this is the mystique.
This is the intrigue that Cecily cultivates.
I guess.
That Scorpio intrigue, I guess.
Not at all.
I'm in a fucking tie-dye.
This is Aquarius, baby.
Yeah, that's very Aquarius.
And you would never guess with all this
blue around me and this blue shirt and
the fact that I just said I wept earlier, but I am
a Pisces, rising Pisces, Cancer
Moon, Pisces
in Mercury as well. There's water
all over my chart. When you said
no, I'm not a Scorpio, I had to
sort of shudder because you know who's
one of the Scorpio kings
is Bon Yang.
Well, listen,
my dad and my brother
are both Scorpios.
I just,
I have no water in me.
Yeah.
And yet you are still,
you're still in touch
with your emotional center,
your emotional power.
But it is very much like
it's an intellectual
trying to understand
my emotions.
Yes.
Right.
Oh yeah. I relate to that. Definitely. that definitely yeah definitely relate as opposed to being like just help take take me away which i
that's my hilarious impression of a water sign you know yeah sometimes i'll be like i can't i
there's the water signs in my life are being exhausting right now well okay i have a really basic question which is
in that scene where you guys uh have that have that breakup i mean how many takes was that how
many takes did you do total and did you save it for your coverage like what like what was that
like no i think i cried every take good every and both sides because it also i feel like when you
when we were doing it and the other thing is we didn't
have to we didn't do a lot of takes which I really loved about Barry he was kind of like if he got it
he got it and he was like if a director ever says to you let's get one more just like that he's like
they're wasting your time I love this Barry because and also they had to spend so much time
setting up these shots it's just like the amount of time that people put in.
And there's COVID.
So to not mess around with 8,000 takes was great.
But I think also when you give something to the person that's on camera,
then they give a better performance too.
Always.
100%.
I feel like it's kind of crazy too like now almost everything that's
coming out now like has been shot during covid like it's weird to think that now like we used
to think that was like a novelty like oh it was shot during covid like they pulled it off but now
it's like everything that we're seeing now that's new has been shot during covid was that was that
was that shot at a time when that was very hard? In the fall, right? Yeah.
I think it was just like, again, like everything else that was being done.
It wasn't like very different from SNL, I guess.
But, you know, it's like you're being tested.
But in Vancouver, because they didn't have an outbreak like us,
so they would shut down if like testing couldn't keep up like if you could
if the test couldn't get done fast enough this is the science way they say it if the testing
couldn't get done in the labs that's what she was saying then they would shut you had to everybody
had to shut down so it was really like they weren't shutting down because of cases they were shutting down because of testing but we wound up like we got through the whole
show and we didn't get shut down we were really lucky but i also think like you make a commitment
to each other like we get to do this and we get to do musical theater especially and we get to
sing and we get to kiss and dance and hug that it's like then then don't go out to eat. It's fine.
We can make this commitment for seven weeks because we get to work.
Yeah, that's really fair.
That's beautiful.
So there's kissing.
There's more kissing in the show.
So maybe there's a little bit more kissing.
I can't wait to hear.
I can't wait to see you and Aaron's vape
come out the other side of that tunnel.
And I hope that they bang.
I really hope they bang.
We'll see.
Well, I guess you'll have to tune in Friday, July 20th, 23rd.
There we go.
Not everyone can do that high-waisted thing, but he's really doing that high-waisted thing.
Yeah.
He's like a little Newsies body, that tight sort of musical. Well yeah he's like a little newsies body that tight
sort of musical he's in a little newsies cap too yeah yeah but i will say i just want to and not to
you know blow anything but there's going to be a jaime camille that's going to be very i think
another exciting thing for an audience there's gonna be a be a what? A High Make Camille. Another hunk. What is that?
High Make Camille. Oh, there's another hunk
coming in. There's another hunk.
We're getting another hunk.
And we're getting Jane Krakowski.
We're getting the hunk of Jane Krakowski
come on. A whole hunk of
talent, more like. Okay.
The hunk in every way.
Yes. She does the
splits behind me. Upside down and i won't you'll
see she's amazing speaking of death drop and splits and talent what are we thinking of all
stars six because i know you're a super fan right okay what what was the last i had a very crazy
week but you know what it is i There's like some people I'm like,
okay, let's get through a couple of these.
I'm actually liking Ginger Minj a lot.
She killed the last episode. I always like Akaria.
Yeah.
Akaria.
Akaria C. Davenport.
Where are you guys at?
What are you thinking?
Yeah, I was disappointed with this last episode.
I appreciate this season for making me like queens
who i didn't have any opinion on before um i'm like oh like i i like that i i am into
raja yeah i like that i'm into definitely a better showing for raja yes much yes
much yeah she's like really fun also i have to tell you like in this last episode
spoiler alert if you haven't seen it skip ahead but scarlet envy got eliminated and i've been
liking scarlet envy i like i constantly feel like she kind of gets the short ends and i'm like
her drag is really good and i don't i don't know i just just she's tough for everyone. And one of those everyones might be me.
But I say that with respect and go, and she's gorgeous and great at it.
As they all are.
And there's one other queen that is not for me.
But I'm like, who cares about it?
I don't want to criticize these amazing queens.
But I'll say it and I'll mouth it to you.
Okay.
This queen drives me nuts.
Oh, okay. Okay. This queen drives me nuts. Oh, okay.
Yeah.
My dad wanted me to sing for his friends
and would beat me
and that's why I can't do this choreography.
And I'm like,
the only person that can say that is Michael Jackson.
Yeah.
You were a guest.
You helped them with their roast oh i loved that
episode yes i don't know if i helped much but i was there you did you were great no you were great
wait but what what season was that season that was all stars for all stars for monet you were
helping monet and valentina my favorite queen but i guess and i didn. Monet, who was like my favorite queen, but I couldn't say, and I didn't know, like I was doing all stars.
I didn't know that I was going to be seeing Monet.
And then I was like,
well, this isn't fair because I'm going to,
of course I want you to win.
Yeah.
Sure.
So you were like a Monet fan from back.
Oh, big time.
Yes.
Yeah.
Love Monet.
And saw her one woman show.
My birthday in New York was great.
Oh, right.
You had on my favorite guest judge introduction line,
which was, well, you look cute.
And then Rue goes, Cecily Strong, you look cute.
And you said, I don't get cute.
I get drop-dead gargaz.
Gargaz.
Yeah, gargaz.
That's a very James Anderson reading on it.
I was just going to say,
how dare we talk about these queens without mentioning that peppermint is in the goddamn
show schmigadoon friend of the show friend of us all uh friend of us all when she turned around i
was like oh my god i didn't know miss peppermint was in this miss fortune teller was a huge deal
and it was like especially also because it is a love letter to Broadway that it was like Peppermint made Broadway history.
Made Broadway history.
Was the first trans woman to originate a role.
Open a show.
Oh, to originate a role.
Yes, yes, yes.
And head over heels.
And I'm, it's so, she's just like, she makes history all the time and it's like no big deal to her.
And she's so funny and so amazing.
Another Aquarius.
And I hope that I'm like, if we get a season two, I hope that it's the world's less COVID-y and like we get to have more of Peppermint.
Because it was hard to get, it was hard to fly people out.
Of course.
Like Bowen, you were supposed to be in the show.
Right.
But we couldn't, you know, timing got changed.
Sure, sure.
Of course.
Yeah.
And then Estenal was happening. I've heard, I mean, timing got changed. Sure, sure, of course. Yeah. And then that's not what's happening.
I've heard, I mean, I don't know where,
so by the way, the show is co-created by
Cinco Paul and Ken Dario, wonderful people.
And when we closed the room,
there were very interesting directions
in which the show could go.
Because you'll see, without spoiling anything,
you know know it just
things are left in a very
interesting place not in a way that you would
expect even now as an audience member
I'm very excited for people
to finish this season I have a prediction
I have a prediction for what's going to happen
and I've only seen two episodes and I didn't write
in the room and wasn't the star or producer of the show
so understand that I'm
you were not a consulting producer
no I wasn't a consulting producer I'm just like a fan
so readers know I'm just like you when I say this
the way I think it's gonna end
is that it's gonna be like
Jurassic World and I think
the characters from the show are gonna creep
into the real world I really think that
oh that's interesting
I think Chenoweth is gonna i think the last shot
is gonna be chenoweth in like um a gelsons and she's gonna be walking through and she's gonna
you know she's gonna be walking through the gelsons and i'm like ma'am you need you what
is this yeah she's gonna be in gelsons an la supermarket you need to wear a mask ma'am
coven's gonna be and she's like oh no i don't. COVID's gonna be in the world. And she's like, oh no, I don't!
And that's gonna cut to black, and then you know
season two is gonna be like Jurassic World,
where the dinosaurs sort of come
into the world. Everything was beautiful
at the Bellsons!
At the Bellsons!
At the Bellsons!
Did you ever see
Barbara Streisand
do that with
Anne Hathaway and Daisyisy ridley i heard it yeah
so there's like a featurette that is like her coaching them and she it's so funny because
she's just like giving the notes like and she like watch barbara direct is i just i love it
and you have to watch the featurette of Barbara doing all those songs with people.
You gotta.
I absolutely will.
That's all I had to say about that.
Bowen, anything on Barbara?
Any suggestions?
Anything to add about Barbara?
We love Barbara.
We love that she only does movies now where she is sitting down.
Sitting down.
I want to be comfortable.
Sudie and I saw,
one of my favorite memories of my life
is when Sudie and i went to go
see barbara the the music the magic the memories at barclays and it was barbara back in brooklyn
and we went and we were sitting all the way in the back and sudi and i like we were so excited
we love barbara so much i was raised on barbara like funny girl was on like every day in my house so um we're
there and she before every song she had like an interlude that was like well you know they told
me that they the label told me they wanted this picture for the cover of the album and it's like
a picture that's bad and she's in the crowds and she goes well you know i told them i wanted
this picture and it's like the picture of the album and then everyone's like and she goes well you know i told them i wanted this picture and it's like the picture
and then everyone's like and she's like and you know it did win the grammy for best album cover
so anyway this is the way we were and she would go and sing and like kill it she did papa can
you hear me and it was like bracingly good it was insane but before every musical number from lentil before every number
i'm not kidding so you can verify every number there was a preamble that was someone told me
they thought one thing i told them another and i was right and then she started to go off on
politics this is pre-election so she went off off on politics and one woman like behind us was like,
we don't want to hear this.
We want to hear you sing.
Shut up.
Shut up.
And we're like,
what did you think was going to happen?
You came to a Barbra Streisand show
in the year of our Lord 2018.
Yeah.
Did Barbra,
did she go Patty and go like,
who was that?
Did she put the spotlight?
She didn't hear it,
but I'm happy she didn't because I think she would have. I'm? She didn't hear it, but I'm happy she didn't
because I think she would have.
I'm glad she didn't hear.
It would have derailed the entire show.
Barbara's shouting to the nosebleeds.
Who said that?
Who said that?
Who said that?
No, I want to talk.
Let's talk.
Remember Manila Luzon's insane Barbara?
Oh, that was, I mean, it wasn't. It was
borderline something.
We love Manila.
We do love Manila.
Do we love Manila? I love
Manila, but maybe that's just like
because I get
Manila Luzon a lot.
You do? What do you mean?
It's more like I'm being,
it's like self, like I like her because I'm loving myself when I say that.
People tell you you're giving Manila Luzon?
What?
More like that we look alike.
No.
I take, I love that.
I think sort of.
I think Manila's gorgeous.
Yeah.
I very happily take that.
I just, I don't see it for either of you okay
well i can't wait till my concert when i go well you know when a lot of people told me
enough like manila luzon but you know what i said i think i do
and i was right i went on anyway here's the way we were and then i went on to be right people they went on to be right have you been dying to sing on a televised program that wasn't
saturday night live because you can sort of like really pop off oh probably not no really there's
like a safety to saturday night live kind of that it's like because it's sketch comedy it's always
like we get to be character-y. You don't have to be good.
You know how like I have to get so drunk to do karaoke.
I don't like karaoke because I feel,
this is going to sound really obnoxious,
but I don't like karaoke because I'm in pain afterwards.
And I don't like to feel like I screamed.
And it's hard to sound, it's actually hard to sound good.
You're like, you never know what the key's
gonna be and you're like oh this is the weird part of the song i don't totally know right right
right i'm always like practicing beforehand and like that's not a fun night what song do you think
bowen and i do every time we do karaoke and have the harmonies on lock what song do you think we do
oh that's tough i don't think i know the answer
to this myself shut up there's so like i just feel like that could be anything because there's a lot
of like you know it could be like oasis wonderwall it could you know that would be like a confusing
one it could be cranberries it could be take me or leave me no we've actually never done take me
or leave me which is kind of shocking never done take me or leave me we do've actually never done take me or leave me which is kind of shocking
never done take me or leave me we do bowen we do let me be your star from smash but it's not
on karaoke i don't think we've done it on a screen on a screen with the words on it how do you do it
we do it well we've done it live we do it live with a piano and we we know we we're off book
we don't need no you don't need the. You don't need the words. We don't need the words.
Do you understand?
Who do you think is the Catherine McPhee?
And who do you think is the Megan Hilty?
This is an easy question.
I would say Bowen is Megan Hilty.
Yes, he is.
Oh, thank God.
I'm sort of Catherine in my mix at the top.
And then Bowen comes in with the breast.
You are ready to date Yolanda's ex-husband. Oh yeah, I'm sort of Catherine in my mix at the top. And then Bowen comes in with the breath. You are ready to date Yolanda's ex-husband.
Oh yeah, I'm ready.
I'm ready 100%.
Yes.
I still talk to my dog like Yolanda talked to him.
Are you ready for dinner, my love?
Hello, my love.
Do you miss Yolanda?
I feel bad for her.
I feel like the lines really...
Oh, good evening, my love.
Would you like something in my mouth?
Good evening, my love.
Oh.
She's...
I feel so bad for her
because I feel like the Lyme's really kind of...
Well, Lyme's disease,
a.k.a. Yolanda Hadid syndrome.
It's kind of like Lou Gehrig's ALS.
I call...
Yolime's disease.
Yolime's disease.
Yolime's disease.
If I ever do get Lyme's,
I don't have Lyme'simes I have Yolanda Hadid
syndrome like that's
how I'll tell people
did people say because I didn't watch Beverly Hills before this season
did she have Munchausen's
no
she had limes
I'm sorry I'm sorry but there wasn't
that is just what Lisa Rinna heard
she got a text from a friend and while
they were in Dubai and she was in
like a black turban
and they talked
it out though
she was like I just had a
friend I just my friend told me
I got a text I don't know what it means
and they were all in turbans
in Dubai
talking about Munchausen
and that's why
we love that show
Beverly Hills
is great
and also
Beverly Hills
is great
New York
when it's great
is great
and Potomac
is always
killing it
I'm so
late on Potomac
and
it did so much
for me
I loved it so much
I just got into it
and I'm like
very ready now for this new season to binge.
We're only two episodes into this new season,
and I think it's interesting so far.
I don't think it'll quite reach that ugliness as last season,
which kind of helps.
I didn't love the ugliness for it.
I didn't love it either,
but it did fuel the second half in a way that felt interesting I was like well I'm watching
I'm like I'm keyed in every single moment
now yeah Bowen was on
watch what happens live with Monique
with Monique Samuels yeah so that was like
oh wow yeah like during
the thick of it oh wow
it was like this it was like the episode it was the episode
after that that like barnyard
like like fight and I was just like
the wine barnyard the
wine barnyard yeah oh i know uh well i was like you know i support you moon i didn't i didn't say
i support you monique but like but like they like threw it over to me they were like but what do you
have to you have to right yeah they're like what do you have to say about all about all this potomac
stuff i was like i just hope there's space for radical compassion.
And you said,
fuck Ramona Singer, that
white supremacist.
She said, I hope she dies
alone about Ramona.
I said, I hope she dies alone. I said,
she's a white supremacist. I said, I hope she dies alone.
Well, of course I'm going to die alone.
Absolutely, we're all going to die alone.
But I hope I look fabulous doing it. I want going to die alone. Absolutely, we're all going to die alone. But I hope I look fabulous doing it.
I want someone to hold me.
Remember that scene last year?
Oh, you're a really cute guy.
What a cute guy you are.
You guys are really cute guys.
Cute guy.
Hot guys are here.
It's so humiliating.
You're like, how is this happening?
My 50 best girlfriends and two hot guys are coming over.
What?
I just invited my 50 best girlfriend.
You're not one of them.
Big deal.
You're not one of them.
You're embarrassing me in front of hot guys.
Because your vagina is out.
I don't want to talk like that, okay?
Vagina.
Because that's not what's sexy, okay?
Sexy is, you know, tickling with a little feather, okay?
Okay.
It's not anything nasty because now you're being nasty, okay?
Okay, wait.
And oh my God,
poor Sonia and her thing about Garth.
Oh, Sonia.
Do you remember when she called someone?
Well, I'm going to talk to you.
Too much is sad this season.
What are your thoughts
on the rumors that Bethany may return?
I loved Bethany.
I got to say it.
And you know why I loved Bethany?
Because nobody burned Ramona Singer like Bethany Frankel.
And I could watch that all day, every day.
You don't support other women.
And then, like, the waiter would come over and Ramona would say something.
Bethany would be like, what is this?
Well, now she's just telling her, like, i guess we're doing this now because it's some
weirdo talking telling her fucking word it was always like just out of nowhere she would just
and ramona was like oh bethany i don't and it was just like bethany burns ramona so well yeah
i don't like bethany i think she's chaotic evil but I will say she is unfortunately a star and funny.
And when I was recently,
my friend Patrick is watching.
Very funny.
He was watching New York from the beginning
and it's the season two reunion
when they're like ganging up on Kelly Ben Simone
and they're like,
you can't talk to her.
It's like talking to Humpty Dumpty.
She's so funny.
And my other favorite moment is when she puts on that tiny little bikini to tell Luann about Tom.
Oh, my God.
So I heard something.
Is it about Tom?
Tell me it's not about Tom.
It's about Tom.
Just don't tell me it's about Tom.
Oh, God.
And then she goes, when it's like, question mark.
I just heard a rumor about you
period
that was like I couldn't
believe her life
fell apart in slow motion
for so long
I can't believe
but she looks so great and I
that's the price that she paid
to some witch
that it's like her life is pricey and she And I almost know that's the price that she paid to some witch. Yeah.
That it's like her life is pricey and she, but she looks so good.
She looks so good.
But isn't that Ramona's deal with the witch too? I need all of their, like, don't you want their doctors?
Yeah.
I mean, they all look incredible.
I mean, they all do, right.
They all, there's bones, structures, and bodies that I don't have access to.
But the doctor, I want to know because I think they look so good.
Yeah.
You know, like I said, like whenever I'm home and I've been home a couple times recently
and I make my mother watch Housewives with me and she doesn't naturally like it.
So every time I put it on, she always comments like, wow, that one's had a lot of work done.
Look at the work on that one. Wow wow they've all had so much work done and I'm like mom
we're post this like yes this is
the way they look we're posted we can't
comment I was like I can't I turned
to her I paused it. Sheena Marie is 25
and she's got Botox
and she goes
these women they have too much work done I'm like
mom this is just this is what it is
and then she's like i don't know i just don't like it and i'm like yeah but like 25 year olds
like have botox now and look stars and like all this stuff and don't you think like somehow
they look different like everybody looks the same when they get work done to a certain level and
they just look like themselves they look great i know i don't see it anymore they've bypassed something yeah
they did there's it's good i don't know because i'm always like guys i tried electrolysis five
years ago once so i don't know what anything good you know that's like as like crazy as i get

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999,
a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of On Purpose.
My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw
interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison
from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame,
body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate delusional
dreamer and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a
delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger.
I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such
a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if
you asked what happened,
I immediately started with everything but me.
It took years for me to break that, like years of work.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.
Anyway, I think it's time to move to I Don't Think So, Honey.
So I think we've sort of moved to that episode,
that point in the episode where we do I Don't Think So, Honey,
which is a 60-second segment that we have here on Lost Culture Reefs.
By the way, my hand just sort of rang over.
Look at this Speedo I got sent today.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my God.
That's cute.
That's really cute.
Right?
It's from Homoco.
It says, yeah, look at that.
Homoco.
Anyway, they sent it to me.
And my hand ran over it.
And so I just had to show it.
That wasn't product placement.
It was literally right here.
Look what I got from Homoco.
Okay. it was literally right here um okay so this is a 60 second segment where we absolutely pop the f off sorry on some an item of culture or anything in the world really that we just feel like dressing
absolutely down and it's done in every single episode of lost college and this episode will
be no exception so bowen uh i do have something okay this is matt rodgers
i don't think so honey his time starts now i don't think so honey the seat covers for toilets
thanks but no thanks it's made of shit fabric like what is this it's like it's like the consistency
of half a piece of toilet paper and then you have have to negotiate it. You have to cut out the middle part
so you can lay it down over the seat
so you don't, like, fucking, I don't know,
get a little bit of piss on your ass skin.
Grow up.
If you're a gay man who eats ass,
you can sit down bare ass on a goddamn toilet.
I'm over it.
Also, not for nothing,
but if I don't want to have
that little piece of piss on my ass,
what you do is you take
the toilet paper and you you do just so you get it off or do what i do just take four strips of
toilet paper and creatively put it on the seat it's also going to be better than that fat stupid
shit that they put on there also while i'm at it, automatic toilet flushers, thanks, but no thanks. I'm going to do it myself.
I don't need to have you in my head afterwards.
What if I leave the bathroom and then I'm concerned that you don't flush?
I know there's a button, but you can't always find it.
I don't think so, honey.
And that's one minute.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one.
Baby, at the gym, at the airport, at all these places, I'm like places i'm like at the airport it's the most important place mama so you what you do is you take four pieces of toilet paper and do it
on the seat because you can't negotiate with these toilet seat covers yes you can't you have
extra half second to align mama they're not negotiable sweetie i don't think so
honey no sweetie no no no this is we're having this discussion you can you can take those covers
darling deer and you can blot them on your face if you want to get the shine off too those absorb
well i'm not very shiny ever hun because i put sunscreen on every day so i make sure that i take
care of it well maybe not for you blotchychy bitch. All I'm saying is, you have to
do so
much business to get the
toilet seat cover on the toilet bowl seat,
and I'm just like, I'm sorry, but I'm in here
because I have to shit now. I think I'd love to ask the toilet
what I've done to
start the toilet flush
when it starts.
Because I'm always on the damn
seat, and I'm always on the damn seat.
And I'm like,
now what has my body done?
What movement has happened?
I'm so concerned.
What phantom has passed? And there's nothing worse.
And you know these toilets I'm talking about.
The white toilets.
White.
And they're like,
oh, sorry.
I guess I thought you were done.
Because most people would be done right now.
You're like, I'm peeing.
Get over it.
They flush so aggressively, too.
They're like the ones that go.
And then the water, you get the splash back.
And I hate that.
When you have the water from the toilet bowl, from the flush, the aggressive flush, hit your butt.
And then you have to deal with that.
I'm like, get out.
It's like a hard enough thing to shit at all.
And now you're going to make it this much difficult?
I don't think so, honey.
And if I'm in a public restroom at a gym or an airport
and I have to shit,
I don't have time to do the toilet bowl cover.
It's an emergency.
Because, right, we're not choosing to go number two in public if we can help never once in my life i literally i don't i don't know what
it is but like i would rather i'd rather die i'd rather die than like then like go to the bathroom
in a public place like no that's sacred that's what my toilet bowl at home
is for and I just like
it's like everything about it it's like
that's the crack
in the stall door that is
wide like
are you kidding like
anyone any goose and
gander could like look in here
and see me in the throes
and now I'm like thinking about that
the toilet seat cover is constantly sliding
off it's an untrustworthy lock
for sure untrustworthy lock
also the toilet seat covers like are
not wide enough to
cover the whole seat so it's like just like
it's like you're not aligning
this is I
I also have a huge fat ass
so it's like it's not working
wait get a screenshot of this it's gonna be the episode thing did they get it they got it they
didn't they're fired if they didn't they're fired wow yes okay okay trying to save your job we got it okay we got it
huge okay um now bowen yang is gonna pop off yes so you disagree with mine and i will see if i
disagree with yours this in essence is bowen yang's i don Think So Honey. Her time starts now. I Don't Think So Honey is
CC's Pizza's closing down,
going out of business, right as marijuana
legalization is really starting to take
off in this country. It is the
ultimate quintessential stoner
chain restaurant.
And yet I'm in Cleveland, Ohio, the land
that you would think
would, of the free
you would think, the land of the CC's Pizza's you would think would of the free you would think in the land of the cc's pizzas you
would think and i brought some exquisite edibles with me on my trip here and i thought i'm gonna
pop one of these 30 seconds uber i'm gonna go to a cc's pizza and eat alone because i'm willing to
go on that journey for myself i don't care who sees me i am am going to the CC's Pizza alone. And yet, I open up Google Maps.
I type in CC's Pizza into the search bar.
All of them pop up on my map.
They say permanently closed.
We have failed.
This is an I don't think so honey to society for letting CC's Pizza fail right as marijuana legalization is about to be a popular phenomenon in this country.
And I think it's terrible timing.
It's diabolical timing.
It does feel like that's on us.
Yeah.
It is on us.
And that's one minute plus.
I feel so bummed for you.
I'm so, I'm devastated.
Bless you.
I felt it coming.
I was going to say something else.
We're going through Bowen's problems,
but you still can bless
your friends.
Thank you, Bowen.
He will always bless me.
It's actually rule of culture
number 99. He will
always bless me.
Are we talking about Bowen or god depends depends on your creed
some cultures corner of the internet corner of the internet you know that's i really just wanted
to really put that out in the conversation cc's pizzas were really an important part of the fabric
of chain restaurants in this country and the fact that they're gone means that you know we're deprived and we were like finally
it is
after me
yes pot is legal and what happened
to CC's?
it's so shitty too you know that everyone at CC's
is just like so bummed because they were about to make
huge money
I know
it makes me pout

spread i am on like farming blogs to try to understand how to deal with these motherfucking
woodchucks and i was out there in like
flip flops holding a big stick the other day.
My dog fought with a baby woodchuck.
It was the worst day of my life. And I was going,
Lucy, no! Lucy, no!
And these motherfucking woodchucks
ate my broccoli, they ate my lettuce,
they ate my sunflowers.
And my little fat ass is trying
to grow my vegetables in the Hudson
Valley.
And that's one minute.
The other day.
This is awful.

That fucking sucks. These little motherfuckers. And they look so man. That fucking sucks.
These little motherfuckers.
And they look so cute.
But they just...
Why wouldn't you let Lucy fight them?
Because I was like, I can't see my dog kill.
And I can't see my dog get beaten up by a baby.
What if she wants to kill, though?
Listen, I can't have that.
It'll change our relationship.
It's too late in the game.
Have you had Lucy
killed anything to your knowledge?
When a dog kills
or when a dog like,
when a dog like does something,
even on a couth,
I'm like,
I don't know.
Like I don't,
I want to see them
as like my pet,
not a killer.
I peed on my friend's bed
on Thanksgiving once.
Oh my God.
And I was like looking at her and I was like,
I don't even know who you are.
As I walked in on it.
I don't even know who you are.
Who you are.
She's shitting and pissing.
And it was like,
because she was like showing off to their pug, Banji.
It was like the two little girls going off to smoke cigarettes.
It was like two little dogs.
And my dog was like,

that motherfucking
chaos demon

We gotta help. Reader, if you have
any suggestions, please send them our way.
We'll let Cessna know. And I know about kitty litter.
And I have all
the powers. The ground up blood.
The ground up blood. It's 49% blood.
Isn't that gross?

Underground Mall

do well cecily this is a new i don't think i've heard you talk about gardening before this is a
wonderful new i'm not a good gardener and that's the other thing is like whenever people come over
and they're like oh let me i could teach you how to do this and i'm like no no no no that's it's
like that's like would you say that to an eight-year-old with a science kit? You wouldn't say you're doing chemistry wrong.
Let them explore.
That's true.
I like that.
I like gardening as a thing you find.
Yeah.
It doesn't look good, but every now and then I get to...
I've eaten some of my lettuce so far and basil, tomatoes.
It really tastes better because of the emotional effect.
Yeah.
And some days it was like, you know, dinner's all you got.
Some days dinner is all you got.
It's a rule of culture number 48.
Some days dinner is all you got.
COVID really bummed me out today.
So I'm just kind of, I'm counting on dinner to make up for it.
Don't be bummed.
I don't think it's...
No, I'm a little bummed all over again.
I really am.
Oh, I meant, I didn't actually mean today.
Oh God, I bumped everyone out.
I meant that as like, that's when I want dinner.
No, no, let's not even think about it.

All right.
Listen.
And on that hopeful note, on that hopeful note, as we look to the future, as we look
to the future of vaccinated, safe America.
Yes.
Wow. I should think of Chenoweth
what I'm thinking
is going to happen
this again is another
one of my predictions
as not a consulting producer
or even the star
producer of the show
I think
we're going to see
Kristen Chenoweth
sort of throw off
all the dark clothes
and she's going to be bright
and I think she's going to
have a big number
where she gives her
classic
like that whole thing and I think i think it might happen oh i don't know i'm shaking my
little shoulders everything was beautiful at the gelson at the gelson um anyway
you laugh because it would be good
it would be great
I would love it
it's a great idea
and
as a consulting
producer
something to think about
yeah
something to think about
something to think about
