The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back.
I love that.
I love that.
Oh my gosh.
Welcome.
And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg.
You're recording us?
I am disgusted.
Never in a million years after everything we've been through
did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy.
We were friends.
How could you do this to me?
I don't trust her.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Wednesdays at 9 on Bravo, or stream it on City TV+.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida.
And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba?
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home, and he wanted to take his son with him. Or back to his father in Cuba? Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to
take his son with him. Or stay with his relatives in Miami? Imagine that your mother died trying to
get you to freedom. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story on the iHeartRadio app,

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.
I was a desperate delusional dreamer.
Be a delusional dreamer.
Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me,

culture? Yes. Oh, yeah. Las Culturistas. Ding dong. Las Culturistas calling.
High level of brownouts today in LA.
So if I melt down, just blame Mother Nature.
Oh no.
You hate to hear that.
She is soaring.
The temperatures are in the triple digits.
LA is under attack by heat.
Period.
By heat.
Ain't that the story?
I'm going to be there in a few days and I'm not really looking forward to it.
Bring your skimpiest clothes because honey, you are going to want to be very prepared for the heat.
I just came from Palm Springs. My brain is cooked.
Tell me how your LDW was. Such a good LDW. I spent a lot of time in my favorite locale, the Ace Hotel Pool.
I was sort of like, you know, vibing as they say.
And I thought if this was heaven, I would say period.
Period.
Yes.
If this is heaven, honey, install the pearly gates.
I don't see them.
Boo.
Cut to me with a frozen Paloma, salt or tahini rim.
At Tropicale?
Well, we haven't even made it to Tropical yet. And you know
we went to Tropical. See me
sitting by the pool. Frozen
Paloma, salt or tahini rim. Depending
on which one of the binary
you want that day. And then
sipping with your legs in the
damn water. Watching
flops just like
flop around. The strangers of it all.
The characters you meet.
Yeah.
If that's heaven,
sign me up for heaven.
Sign me up for heaven.
Subscribe,
subscribe to heaven.
I,
I love you.
What I,
I know it's a place you love to go.
Would you say that you are,
you know,
Ross Matthews level sort of Morgan McMichael's level Palm Springs.
I can't claim it as a zip code yet. But I do know that I will end up
at the Tropical Bar, a
completely other
shade other than I am now because of baking in the
sun at some point. Let's say when I get to
65, 66,
I'll move out there.
You'll be in the outdoor area.
Yeah, post up in that outdoor area
where it's very
OC out there. Oh, speaking of which, we literally
saw Vicki Gunvalson there that one time, right?
I was just going to say, this was
before she was like a sort of
figure to us,
but she was really very
central in the restaurant.
She was sat very
visibly. Yeah. She was
really living her tropical fantasy.
You and I had such
opposite weeks,
I would say,
and such opposite
climes,
climates,
you know.
Well,
tell us about your climb,
Miley Cyrus.
Well,
here's the climb,
okay?
And can we say,
it's a rule of culture,
it's the climb.
It's the climb.
It's a rule of culture
number 30.
It's the climb.
It's the climb.
Period.
I was working in Iceland
and it was one of, it was a life-changing
experience okay so i do have to come out and tell come out now i have to tell the readers a story
that um really deals with shame oh my god you're gonna do this i'm gonna do this because i talked
about in therapy i told you you were the one of the first people i told i support this 100
and i want you to go off now queen okay queen this
is truly the honesty zone it's crossed over into the pod period the honesty zone is indefinitely
canceled but every now and then we'll bring it to las culturistas okay now i had a day of work
where we started out at a waterfall one of of the many waterfalls, gorgeous waterfalls in Iceland.
Had a day starting out there.
Just couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Was like, wow, I'm very lucky to be working, period.
I'm lucky to be working in this environment.
Wow, what a life.
Well, you were having one of the best days of your life.
Yeah.
To say nothing of the animals that you met along the way.
Well, I was gonna say,
next stop was
the Laxness Horse Farm,
one of the famous horse farms in Iceland.
Ben Stiller was just there
riding one of the Icelandic horses
about a week ago. Huge star.
Huge star. Director, even.
Huge A-list actor-director.
Emmy-nominated director.
Best of luck to him. Best of luck to him.
Best of luck to him.
At the big show.
At the big show.
And got to ride an Icelandic horse,
which, it's crazy.
It's horse eugenics,
because the Icelandic horses can't leave.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
No other horses can enter Iceland.
And if an Icelandic horse leaves Iceland for any reason,
it cannot come back.
I'm sorry is this
spiritual no it's not spiritual it's i think it's just like uh because all the icelandic
horses are purebred horses they're between the size of a pony and like a full-on mare so basically
they don't want any fuckery with other horses not of Iceland because it could fuck up.
It's for diseases.
It's for disease reasons, mostly.
Period.
But, you know, sort of when I say it, it sounds like eugenics and it's unfortunate.
It did sound like that when you said it.
Most horses, I think 99% of horses only have four walks, four gates, right?
Icelandic horses have a fifth gate, a fifth walk.
They were given a little bit more.
God must have spent a little more time on them.
On you.
You.
The fifth walk is a trot.
It's called a tolt in Icelandic.
And I was shown a video of my horse handler riding this horse bareback while holding a full glass of beer.
Picture your favorite beer filled to the brim.
And you're holding it to the side while you're on an Icelandic horse that is galloping at such a steady clip and at such a steady level way that the beer, not a drop of beer is spilling out.
Oh my God. isn't that amazing
that is so incredible and so what happened i'm telling you matt you would have loved this i'm
i'm wrapped right now and it really is you were truly in a different environment than me you sort
of in the mountains with the horses me in the pool with the Palm Springs residents. Like this is a tale of two cities that I've,
that I've ever heard,
ever heard,
never heard a tale of two cities like this,
like this.
Now I was having,
as you said,
one of the best days of my life.
And I even told you this when I,
you did,
you reached out to say that when I prefaced the story that I'm about to tell
the readers to you,
I said,
this was one of the best days of my life.
I thought I'm so lucky to be experiencing these experiences.
And then at one point, it's a new deal.
They're turning the cameras at the horse farm.
I have a costume on that is five layers, both top and bottom.
I have crazy layers.
The sound guy, Kirtan, puts a crazy rig on me with the wire, just
the wire behind me. So, you know, a sound
person will typically put the
microphone, tape it to your clothing,
around your decollete, your
neck. I'm just, you're a showbiz
legend. You're very seasoned in the business
and the ways of set life. I'm aware of where
the mic is placed. We can just say it like that.
We don't have to say too much of this verbiage.
I know where the mic's going.
It's true.
It's too early to say legend in my career, I think.
You have to wait a couple years.
Jennifer Lewis herself said that you have the it factor.
We'll get to that later because I have things to say about that episode
because it was truly one of the best interviews,
conversations I've been privileged to listen to.
More on that later.
That's not true, Alan, but continue with your
story legend. The wire gets looped behind my back and typically, you know, they put the mic pack on
your waist, clip it to your waist. And again, I have layers and layers and layers of clothing on
me. I go to my trailer to- Relieve.
Relieve, defecate, take a big step. Can I just pause for one second?
The fact that relieve and defecate
sort of mean the same thing, they feel
so different. Like I'm stepping away to relieve
myself and I'm stepping away to defecate.
You're saying the same thing,
but the words you use can change
everything. And it's a rule of culture number
49. The words you use
can change everything.
Well, defecate has some more fricative sounds.
There it is again.
It's so fricative.
Like the cut, the foot.
It's the def-a-cate.
It is letting you know something sharp, hard, and very real about life is happening.
Defecate.
Relieve.
Just do it.
Relieve sounds so meditative, sounds so natural. Defecate?
That's hard. Anyway,
continue, iconic friend.
I go
to the bathroom in my trailer
and to take
down my pants, I have to
sort of move my scarf, move
my poncho,
take off my
pants, take off my thermal leggings underneath business take take
down my compression garment that's sort of like helping me snatch a little bit for camera business
yeah which is which is what you know what the the costume department gave me movie magic and then
movie magic the wire is still sort of mind you tautly behind me my running down my back
running down to the waist of the pants which is at this point on the floor or close to the floor
i'm not one of those poopers who you know and this is no shade yeah some of these people and
the most iconic people let's just say are the people at public urinals,
elementary school style,
who put down the pants to the ankles.
Yeah, I think those are the most iconic people around.
And it shows the confidence that only people out there are aspiring to.
You and I have a long way to go to get to that level.
Well, and also, Bowen, you have to understand,
some people, they have to get fully nude
to in order to pee or defecate sorry everyone for the fricking fricking word again that word
fricking fricking found it sorry to these men and to these women and to anyone out there listening
but those icons are wearing rompers and you can't just do whatever you want okay you can't just do
whatever you want in a romper you have to get a legend legends so true jennifer lewis it factor
legend what happened next i go i turn around everything looks. I flush the toilet. I zip up.
I pull up my compressions, my leggings, my pants.
Yeah, you're thinking at that point, period.
Period.
I go, let me just re-jigger the wire a little bit, and I'm good to go.
Mm-hmm.
I have a huge poncho sort of draped over my ass as well.
Got it.
I feel a little tug behind me as I walk out to set.
We're shooting outdoors, mind you.
Yeah.
And I'm also in a crazy wig, color contacts. I look stupid.
For the comedy of the show, Aquafina is nowhere from Queens,
a very comedic show.
Am I giving too much context?
Maybe.
Really?
What happened?
I walk back to set.
There's a bunch of horses all around.
Crew people.
Wonderful Icelandic union paid crew people.
Fulfilled lives.
They're so...
These people have worked on every set
you can think of in Iceland.
The Northmen, Halo,
every Nordic noir
you can imagine. They are figures of
esteem and respect.
Executive producer Anna is saying that she's on the end
of her seat. Okay, I'm getting there.
I walk right in front
of Video Village
and Sasi, the iconic
former model who is now our
production manager, Polish German beauty, coolest girl on set at the function.
Figure of esteem, respect, and great beauty.
Is calling, is making restaurant reservations for the entire casting crew every night at the most exclusive places in Reykjavik.
This woman has power.
This woman has seen, this woman understands.
Kings, queens, legends. Kings, queens legends queens legends she's seen it all she knows she's dined with them yeah she you would think that she has
not experienced much shame in her life maybe maybe that's a projection maybe maybe i'm assuming too
much she was poised she turned we have not interacted too many times at this point i hear her call out my name she goes
oh bowen you have um you have a little piece of paper dangling behind you i go what
and before i pull up the wire to see to fish up what was caught on it because i assume it was on
my wire the director peeks out from behind
Village and he decides to get involved.
Who really runs the set.
The director is someone who runs a film set,
a TV set.
Sort of is the leader.
They're a figure of esteem
and great power
and authority.
They're a figure of respect.
And if you look silly in front of them
that's not great you are the jester flop period you're the jester flop period and the great
clown clown square known as a film set our director the great jordan kim comes out and goes oh yeah what is that oh i fish up the wire it is a used wad of toilet paper full of brown
and when you do say brown you do mean your poop your poop was all over your my defecation I've never felt everyone should. I've never felt more embarrassed in my life.
Sister.
Yeah.
That makes a lot of sense.
Isn't that,
is that,
can you imagine a professional environment?
No.
Humiliating.
Can you imagine a more humiliating moment?
I can't let you hang out here by yourself.
So I said to you, if you shared this story, that I would
share something as well.
No, no, no, no, no. I had a Speedo
and I ruined it when I was sick
in Fire Island.
I sharted in the Speedo
and I had to throw it.
I threw it over the ledge.
I threw it over the ledge.
You littered
with your shark?
Matt.
I did go down and get it and put it
in the garbage.
Just kidding. Did I? This will be one of the great questions
of Las Colas Reyes. Did I go
down eventually and pick up the Speedo and actually
dispose of it or did I just throw
it over a ledge at Fire Island?
It's not giving honesty
zone if you're not being can i say something no one will ever find out the answer to this question
it will be my great secret but this is the thing it's a secret for you and no you did not have to
tell anybody this period well i'm saying actually i i take it back you would have to volunteer this story to someone
like me your best friend and i don't judge you for it many would say my girl your girl and i would
say that i there was no escaping the truth of the matter there was no escaping the shame of being in
front of all your co-workers on a set right on
a foreign set with people that you are you have only started to get familiar with there is no
competition at all your story is the humiliating moment of a lifetime i was simply trying to be
charitable in my sharings because I feel so sad that you
flopped in the clown square so hard
as to be covered in your filth
in front of figures of great
esteem, respect,
beauty, leadership,
and talent.
Did I mention there were former
models on this set?
Polish-German legends.
They had a great fortune of beauty, these people.
They had a great fortune of beauty.
Not I.
Well, it gets better.
I don't even think I told you this part.
Tell me more about it.
I'm mortified and I race.
Well, first of all, sweet Jordan, God bless him.
A kind, effective director.
A good friend of mine.
Who shouldn't have seen that?
Who shouldn't have seen all that? He shouldn't have seen that, but I've known him many years and he's, you know, he good friend of mine. Who shouldn't have seen that? Who shouldn't have seen all that?
He shouldn't have seen that,
but I've known him for many years
and he's, you know, he's wonderful.
As I run away after realizing what had happened,
he says to me,
it happens.
No.
And I, and this is what I said,
staring at the ground, walking away.
I go, no, it doesn't and i run back and i run
i scurry back to my trailer and see that there is at least two wads of used toilet paper on the
ground in the trip that i had that had come off the tail that my my little wire tail on the way over.
And there are teamsters,
PAs,
kind of like,
who have been there all along,
who probably have gone,
what is that?
My girl was set decorating.
Period.
I was props department.
I was,
I was giving production design.
Yeah.
Special effects. Special effects.
Special effects.
Practical.
You were making movies this week.
Bam.
It was movie magic.
It was movie magic.
And I walk back to my trailer and I go, oh my God, I've shat all over this set.
And so I was, I could not bring myself to talk. I could not bring myself to talk about it to anyone until the last night where Sasi took us out for drinks.
Legend.
And then at one point I did say to Sasi, well, I was telling the story to two other people at the bar.
And then Sasi was sitting next to me and she had over, she was in another conversation, but she overheard me recounting the story.
And then Sasi goes,
you know what,
Bowen,
I'm so glad that you're like,
you have a sense of humor about it now because I was so scared that I had
embarrassed you so much by letting you know what was happening.
And I said,
no,
Sasi,
you did me such a favor.
She goes,
I just wanted,
she was like,
I had to let you know before more people saw.
Yeah. And she, I just wanted, she was like, I had to let you know before more people saw. Yeah. And she, I
really do think she
saved my life. She is a heroine. I have to
say that Sasi has
stepped forth and really taken
her place in the Las Culturistas canon
and it is
actually our honor to
announce that
Sasi is a winner of the Legend Award.
The Las Colteristas Legend Award.
And she might be nominated for more.
And the nomination, the full nomination will be Sasi, the Icelandic production manager who told Bowen he had shit.
On his costume.
On his costume.
Yeah. I mean, she is a nominee she is a recipient of the
legend award and that does not mean
she has won the legend award at the
culture awards but today she is
or was it the icon award that we give
there's the
TFR legend award
there is the
queendom award
I think she's up for all those categories a fairy legend award. Right. There is the Queendom award. Of course, the Queendom award.
I think she's up for
all those categories. You're right.
I think that we already have a nominations
leader, but we can't announce yet.
We can't announce just yet. Just around the corner is going
to be the Lost Cultures, Lost Culture Awards
nominations. Just around the
corner. It's going to be
a category reveal
first. And then at a later date
we will reveal the nominees because there will be new categories and some uh some remnants of
categories from last year some remnants just like what bowen was leaving all around the set
okay okay hold on and then very quickly just to cap off the story i did also tell sarah sherman
and celeste yim because i was so embarrassed and i like i was on a text thread with them already
you gotta tell people i think you i did i didn't know you have to own it and i texted them i was
like you guys the worst thing one of the worst things that's ever happened in my life just
happened to me and they go what what happened and then i told them and then sarah god bless her said
you know i was just with a costume designer on
a job and she was
like, and she has worked with every single
actor you can think of.
And she goes to Sarah,
every actor, period,
has shat their pants while on
the job. And that is,
I need to believe that in order to
survive this. And here's some,
just if this helps you, here's some actors.
And so when we say that every actor has shit themselves while on the job,
I just wanted to name some actors and they've all shit themselves.
Geena Davis, she shits herself.
Jessica Chastain.
The great Jessica Chastain has pooped.
Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks pooped.
Yes, Angela Lansbury poop pooped and she sometimes would poop
in her costume because she's an actor and every actor has done it yeah melanie linsky

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 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.

Let's talk about,
should we talk about what's been happening in Venice?
Did you see their fucking looks?
Because Florence,
she said, I'm showing up
for one thing, but you get
a moment.
That leg
and that shoe, she
was giving movie star
arriving. Period.
Once a year at Venice, Once a year at Venice,
there is one person
who cements themselves
as a legend, if they have not already,
with a
Valentino haute couture look that
features ostrich feathers.
2018, that was Lady Gaga in that pink thing.
That was Valentino.
That iconic photo of Gaga at Venice,
when it was raining just a little
and there was just those droplets like reflecting the flash oh my god that's one of the most
beautiful photos ever taken and we also have to say becca producer becca has just like chimed in
and says also the purple because the purple was amazing she showed up looking like honestly i
would have accepted that as the look.
As the carpet look. She literally showed
up in that purple just to arrive in Venice
pre-costume
change. And I was like,
that was the look. I was good with it.
Then this, I was like, okay.
History is made. It inspired
me, honestly. It's like, this is the aesthetic.
I was like, I am a short
legged person, and so is florence
and she's making it work let's let's just say let's just pause for one second to say
pidgeotto it's pidgeotto huge it's pidgeotto down and here's something about pidgeotto
pidgeotto is a is a star is an actress is a talent and is in her prime and this is what i
was thinking when i was driving from
palm springs today it required much of my thought i think we have a generation of these young girls
these movie stars who are turning fashion zendaya gives it florence just gave it fucking timmy
chalamet gives it like Like, my girl showed up,
the young girl showed up backless.
Completely backless.
You gotta give it up.
I...
It was Laura Flynn Boyle.
Yeah.
Countess Luanne, obviously.
I have to say,
you know how we've been saying for so long,
like, there are no movie stars anymore,
there are no real movie stars anymore. I kind of am starting to disagree with that yeah i mean i just named three
and then you think about tom holland like all these people are good they're hot they're really
talented they're you know they're different than what usually gets shoved down your throat
zendaya in particular, like she,
to me,
I think I was thinking about how she has like a one name,
like she has a mononym and I'm like,
yeah,
you,
cause when you can give legend,
give legend,
legend.
And that's a rule of culture.
Number 100.
If you can give legend,
give legend,
legend.
Venice is interesting.
I'm excited to see The Whale.
That got a great reception.
It was very fun to see Brendan Fraser get emotional.
It was a huge Brendan Fraser week for me, actually.
Really?
A lot of people are watching The Mummy this week a lot.
Okay, yes.
Girl, The Mummy 2 was on television when we were getting ready one night in palm springs
and i realized i haven't sat and watched this movie in some time rachel weiss that was a moment
in screen history when she rocked that bull die and she was snatched rachel weisz is such a star. Yeah. And Mummy 2 was the moment.
And that film is incredibly scary and dark.
And there is a moment where a mummy sucks the life out of another guy.
I was really upset and distressed by it.
That's really scary.
It was so scary, Bo.
I think the mummy is due for some sort of grand return in the culture.
Here's something.
They just refurbished the attraction
in orlando okay so the mummy ride in orlando right now and things are absolutely popping
off in orlando we're going we're going in january by the way do you hear about this epic universe
have i told you about the epic universe yes you've told me every time have i told the readers that
there's a classic monsters land with frankenstein dracula yes all that and then there's been more leaked about it and this is the
rumor that the like diegetic of it like is that it's now the year 2022 and it's like a museum land
and the the frankenstein castle is now run by his great-great-great-granddaughter, Victoria Frankenstein,
who apparently is a legend and invites you into the Frankenstein Manor for an experience with classic monsters,
like in a zoo setting.
And of course, in great universal rides and attractions fashion, something, period, goes, period, wrong, period.
And monsters are unleashed.
Let me tell you something right now as I point in your face.
Get into it.
You don't have to tell me.
I'm already there.
I'm into it.
Remember that Lone Star song?
That was iconic.
Iconic.
Wow.
I love this premise.
Victoria Frankenstein.
Victoria Frankenstein, who I want to be everything and more.
Who should play her?
This is what I said.
Okay, who should play?
Everyone, readers,
get together with us on this.
We need to start dream,
fan casting Victoria Frankenstein.
Victoria Frankenstein.
She runs a manor and she says,
come here, I have something to show you.
Who is it?
Who plays her?
Florence.
Florence.
You might have missed this earlier when you were talking about Piggiotto
saying she's a star, she's an actress.
Piggiotto?
Piggiotto?
That's literally a hook.
Piggiotto?
I'm shaking my
fucking ass. Period.
Piggiotto is a short...
Piggiotto as a bop
Pidgeotto
that is actually really really
really something we should think about
we should think about that Pidgeotto
is a short haired queen
much like Miss Flo
Florence showing up in these looks
amazing
it's Florence
Pidgeotto down Florence that's it looks amazing it's florence pugiotto down florence
that's it she's taking flight i choose you as they have always iconically said i choose you
choose you talk about that as a moment talk about what it feels like as a pokemon to be chosen by
the master i choose you oh my. It's an iconic emotion.
Three words,
monosyllabic words, in the
culture forever associated with
this IP. You can never say
I choose you in a setting
without evoking
Ash Ketchum. Sorry, Sarah
Bareilles. Sorry, Sarah. By the
way, we love that profile of her, the New Yorker.
Oh my god. so i've now
seen her in it oh and i have to tell you congratulations to the entire cast who just
left because this is a perfect show sarah borelis where is the tony on her mantle we should consider
putting it there i listened to after sleeping on it for so
long finally listened to the now like seven year old album of what's inside like her singing all
the waitress songs when he sees me when he sees me is truly when she takes it down the octave again
at the end when she goes once two again when she when she's like wailed the whole thing
I loved it when he sees me
in the cast recording
it's a great it stands
out as a character you
know sort of like number right
like it's Kimiko Glenn it's it's like and she's
incredible she did a great
job with it did a great job
but then to hear Sarah just give it like
a precision do you know what
i mean and and have it still work so well as a song i go wow like i almost like this better dare
i say i mean they're her songs you know what i mean like i think that she's always going to be
connected to them in a way i do think like in terms of she used to be mine i think like jesse
mueller really sang the shit out of that song.
But I will also say, on the duet, You Matter to Me,
Sarah just is so, you know what I mean?
Like, her sound, the way she acts, like, the way she tells a story
is just so simple and present that, like, it's perfect for moments in the woods
and, like, it deserves to go down as like one of the best interpretations of that.
Because she's just so thoughtful with every note and every word.
She's thoughtful.
And literally, that's what that song is.
It's there's thoughts.
Thoughts.
It's thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, thoughts.
And so, Sarah is able to just be pinpoint accurate with like the way she places where you're
feeling things and it's just it was a treat and a treasure and like honestly that is the type of
thing you want to see when you go like to see life theater period and moments in the woods is a
perfect example of especially in sarah's take on it of the jennifer lewis thing of like i don't
cry i make them cry like i'm not crying as the character i'm i'm just i'm doing i'm making
choices in order to try and evoke something from the audience and it works yeah i was being
facetious earlier when you were like that was an incredible interview because you were placing a lot of it on me. But it really was, she was such, like, the book is great.
You finished the book, right?
The book is incredible.
I finished the book so, so, so good.
She's just like, not only is she so incredibly entertaining to speak to,
it's just like, it's just always such a ride.
But also, like, she really is smart and she's seen a lot like this story about
being conned by this guy that she fell in love with.
I mean,
she's just done and seen so much.
And so like every single time I'm like,
like in the same vicinity as her,
like you walk away,
like feeling like,
well,
she's just a force of nature.
And reading the book,
I kept reminding myself
or being reminded that patricia on i love that for you is so grounded in something that like
you don't really get from jennifer lewis the persona the person who writes like
you know her life yeah patricia is something completely different and i'm sure but and yeah
i'm sure that jennifer still like finds her way in somehow but it's so not like jennifer lewis
you know what's funny is that when we were doing it on set they definitely had the option to make
it jennifer lewis like i will say she definitely gave you some takes that were like really grand and like you know a
lot of power in the way that um jennifer expresses it which is an action where so like every other
take she would really throw one away and i've noticed that's what they used every single time. They really gave such a...
The moments where
she has so much heft are
like, that's so powerful.
And they really...
It was just really well found.
Yeah. I should just say
that I was very sad to miss
that interview, but as I told you
on a text note with Joel Kim Booster,
who just got back from burning
man a transformative experience for him um i did not mind i did not mind listening to the two of
you talk just one-on-one it was so lovely to listen to i was so i was just beaming the whole
time for both of you i was like Matt has found a mentor and a peer
and a friend in this amazing person.
And she, you can tell she respects the hell out of you.
It's very nice.
It's very nice.
And honestly, like I had just, I don't know.
It's like, but she does,
she is onto something when she says,
when she said that thing,
some people just have a little bit more.
Like I was thinking about that with Sarah when I was watching it.
I'm like,
some people just have a little bit more like it's.
And yeah,
it's,
so I just like think,
you know, we're going to see if she gives it on Wednesday is Ms.
Leah.
Wow.
That is right.
That is within 48 hours away.
Yeah, I'm very excited.
I was saying to someone
that it's not like
a full insurance policy
to have Leah be Fanny.
It could still be bad.
I mean, of course it could.
Anything could be bad at any time.
That's culture.
Anything could be bad at any time.
Any time.
You know what's funny about
all this Don't Worry Darling stuff is it's like the reviews have come out and some people are like, it's not that great. anytime that's culture anything could be bad at any time anytime you know what's funny about all
this don't worry darling stuff is it's like the reviews have come out and some people are like
it's not that great you're like oh wow all that went into like something that now is not that
great obviously i haven't we haven't seen it but the reviews are sort of like lukewarm on it and i
will still go see it i'm so i'll see it i'm very excited but like it is funny that like sometimes
like all this stuff goes into stuff that could be
better at any time.
It really could. For all of the chatter
around it, for all of the marketing dollars that
go into it, sometimes it's just like
most of the time, I would say even.
You're just like, was it worth it?
And then you think
would people have been talking
about this movie if it didn't
have all these things? Maybe they wouldn't.
Maybe it's a good thing.
And this brings us to an interesting question.
Is all press good press?
Is it better to be talking about this?
All press is not good press.
No, I really disagree with that.
Yeah.
It depends on the value assessment of good
in service to a goal or something if the goal is to
like talk about it then yes like i think that's what people mean when they say that but i'm like
it doesn't it's very hollow and not that it doesn't leave you feeling good after you know
right even yeah you hate to feel uncomfortable yeah right yeah or at least we don't like to feel uncomfortable
like just no i'm just saying that you hate to feel like uncomfortable around something like
that's probably the thing you want to feel the least when you go see something like especially
like when you go see someone perform live and it seems like they're really nervous or like that
there's an icker on the project like it is distracting totally
totally and um with funny girl i'm just excited period to see it and uh that's it but it's but
what i'm saying is like it's not a guarantee that leah michelle will like save broadway
just by virtue of being in the show oh and then i i had heard too that like back in the glee
days when they would go on tour she would sing i think the first season the first year they did
this she would sing don't rain on my parade and she only did it like twice because after both
times it was like this is too much on her voice yeah so i wonder what's gonna happen
with this with this iteration of like her singing this song. Interesting.
It's so funny that
you bring that song up in particular
and also Jennifer mentioned that song
last week. She mentioned
that being such a moment because last night
Barbra Streisand's Don't Rain On My
Parade actually came on
at Quads, which is
the great Palm Springs bar where they
show all of these like iconic
videos and everyone just sort of like points at the screen and screams um but they did play
don't rain on my parade by barbara and it really is such a shred from so many different perspectives
like she's so present on screen and such a star and she sounds unbelievable
and the shots are great and the narrative is moving and it's a really great movie moment.
And then you remember like, yeah, like someone else is going to have to do it now.
And that Barbara thing still does creep on in.
I mean, but at least, you know, she's going to be able to sing it.
And at least we're seeing her on the second damn day she does it.
So if she runs out of gas in the tank, it won't have been an hour performance.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Like, I kind of wish we were.
And I don't I don't mean to say that, like, I don't appreciate you taking me to see the show.
Well, I'm curious.
Well, I'm saying that I might see it again,
like a month later when she doesn't have the new Jack,
the Broadway Jack Jack.
Yeah.
Before she can see any damn reviews,
it's going to be really interesting to see what the,
what the blank theater critics say about her.
I'm really interested.
We'll be seeing it the day after reviews come out.
And that's also huge for the show
to have it. This is what I'm saying.
It's like, the Funny Girl press,
that was not good press. But I think
that show's going to sell tickets. They have.
But again, that Funny Girl press,
even as it bleeds into the
Leah of it all, I'm like, we're not
going in with great energy. Even the Leah
can't read stuff. You're like energy. Even the Leah can't read stuff, you're like,
I hate the Leah can't read thing.
I just don't think it's that funny.
I just think Millie Bobby Brown,
that meme of her being like, hey y'all,
I'm about to hit some faggots with my car.
That to me was at least funny because it was so stupid.
Leah Michelle can't read.
I get that people are
dragging Jameela Jamil because she's like,
this is ableist. And it's like, Jameela Jamil because she's like, this is ableist.
And it's like, oh, Jameela, stop.
But also, it is sort of ableist.
And also, it's just not that funny.
She can read.
It just doesn't make me laugh.
The difference between the Millie thing and the Leah thing, though, is that Millie, being Millie, was very, very, very shaken by that.
And it's still, like, you cannot.
I think she, like, was doing interviews in tears,
being like, this is such a cruel thing.
But at least it's funny.
Whereas with Lea Michele Can't Read,
she's just like, yeah, I can read, it's sad.
Like, why are they doing that?
And it's just like, yeah, she obviously can read.
But the Lea thing,
the funny thing about the Lea thing to me is that in that new yorker piece she's like why are people saying that i
can't read i would show she goes i would show up to the glee set every day and know my lines i can
read and you're like that's something that you would say if you didn't know how to read
that's what's funny i guess her response moment yeah the the joke itself is like fine whatever
um but her response to it because she's leah michelle and you kind of are like what a fucking
yeah idiot she is i mean like that is the that's the fun part to me yeah it's like it's like
introducing yourself and be like hi i'm matt and I'm not lying about that. Yeah, yes.
She's like, what do they mean I can't read?
I've read so many books. Here's three books I have read.
Okay, mama.
Slow it down,
reader.
Slow it down, reader.
It's interesting.
I don't feel bad about calling her
an idiot on this podcast. She's not a reader,
so she won't listen.
The Real Housewives of New York City are back for another bite of the Big Apple.

She had this wild night and ended up getting pregnant by some other guy.
What?
You told her?
Not today, Satan. Not today.

I'm a mom, and I'm a woman.
I'm Tarika Foster-Brasby, journalist, sports reporter, basketball analyst, a wife, and I'm also a woman.
And on our new podcast, we're talking about the real obstacles women face day to day.
See, athlete or not, we all know it takes a lot as women to be at the top of our game.
We want to share those stories about balancing work and relationships,
motherhood, career shifts, you know, just all the s*** we go through.
Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women.
And T and I, well, we have no problem going there.

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. 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. 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 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.
I wanted to talk about very quickly.
Oh.
Do we want to talk about this Leo thing real quick?
What Leo thing?
That he broke up with this girl like days after her 25th birthday.
And that this is the pattern that he dates women until they turn 25.
And then he dumps them.
Here's my take on that.
It's just like,
okay,
then like girls,
if you know this,
then you know this.
He's just this kind of guy.
Don't date him.
What's sad to me is this.
So this latest girl,
Camilla Marone,
she weirdly her mom.
I've read this today.
Her mom dated Al Pacino.
So something's going on there.
But it's a family of star fuckers.
That's funny.
Period.
There's like a show in there or something.
Star fuckers.
Stars Gourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Yes.
Gag.
It's like Heartbreakers with the same cast.
Amazing.
She posted something on her Instagram
like a year or two ago,
a picture of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall
who, with the caption,
a love like this.
Now, mind you,
the two of them had a 25-year age difference.
Camilla and Leo have a 23-year age difference.
And it's like, oh shit.
Like you've been like pilled into thinking that like this kind of May,
December thing is like,
right.
Amazing or ass or like good.
Or that it's like classic.
Which whatever,
and this is not to say,
and I think everyone's being very clear in the discourse,
whatever of it all, that age differences
in these relationships are not inherently
bad, but the thing
that is troublesome is that there's a pattern
in Leo, and
maybe that does mean something is maybe morally
tricky about a man
dating a younger woman.
But I think, and Katie
Ruth Ashcraft wrote this, and Jezebel,
our good friend Katie A,
she was saying that this is actually a good thing because now we can, like, just make
fun of that model of older men dating younger women.
Or who exploit, or who, like, fall into a pattern of exclusively dating younger women
at, like, a very young age where you're like, wait, this is, like, now you have, like, a
pop cultural reference to that and be like, oh, he like doing the leo thing yeah it's sad you know yeah
the leo thing is often things that i find are it's just kind of interesting how he does a movie and
like you know it's the oscars you know what i mean like it's it's the big thing it's leo the movie
star and then him when he's not being leo the movie star is literally
in like a bad t-shirt a shitty hat like on a huge yacht like just a too big of a yeah of an expense
like and obviously not great for whatever body of water it's in with these young, young, young, young models that are then completely
replaceable. But yet
when he shows up and he
clocks in and he sleeps in a bear
or something for the Oscar,
everyone's like, god damn it.
The great movie star. And it is
sort of like, he might be the last
one. And Ben Affleck, I think,
gets to make, you know, he makes
a lot of like transitions
between prestige and trash
throughout the years and people seem to accept him back
but it's true like the
male movie stars do get treated
with a degree of like ah let him do it
which is like
we've tossed away so many of
these women because they like
because of whatever
and like these guys
their tit popped out or something
they had work done god forbid
because of the oppressive patriarchy blah blah blah
but like you know
it just feels like it never
like I think that Bradley Cooper
could show up at the Oscars with
poopy coming out of his pants
and people would be like
well mama he did a Star Wars movie.
He's a classic movie star and he does it all.
But Gaga couldn't.
Gaga could not come covered in poop.
If Gaga came covered in poop,
it better be by her own design.
It would be curtains.
It would be curtains for Gaga.
I think even that would be a bridge too far
for our Lady Gaga.
Honey, and me even telling this story to the public about my own poop journey
that might be it for me okay it might be curtains for beau
it's fine i had a good run i really did you had a good run you've been able to do amazing work
i i have i have um what do you have anything else to talk about i have one more
thing to talk about i mean uh what is the topic that you are going to bring up i was just going
to bring up i'm bringing some negative stories to the chat but this one concerns our former guest
and another legend maren morris yes i think she is really doing it right
period
she's really like taking these
narratives
that are being like foisted upon her
and she's just like nope I'm gonna like actually
win out in this way
she, Maren is funny
and we knew this
but Maren's a, she's got jokes
Maren gets it
and for basically anyone
that doesn't know out there that's listening, any of these
readers, she basically is just
getting really ripped to
shreds by the demons
like Tucker Carlson and
Fox News, because she basically
called transphobia what it is
and said that anyone
has a place listening to country
music at her shows etc because
she dared call out someone's transphobia is britney aldean fucking yes jason's flop wife
jester flop in the clown square she might be nominated next year um but this is this this
really made me laugh was that um, first of all, Brittany tweeted,
she was the one who tweeted like,
I want to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I was a tomboy.
And then I love this.
I love this girly life.
Brown heart emoji.
Brown heart emoji.
Brown heart?
Brown heart.
I think she's part of the poopy club.
And then-
I think brown heart is
the title of that brown heart one word like brave heart and then brown heart like brave heart that's
the title of that yeah and then maren tweeted um it's so easy to not be a scumbag and then she says
sell your clippings and zip it, Insurrection Barbie.
I think that's a really good-
Wow, Insurrection Barbie.
Sell your clip-ins and zip it?
Ooh.
You know what's crazy about Insurrection Barbie?
People would buy her.
The insurrectionists would buy her
and they would have Insurrection Barbie in their homes.
Their kids would be playing with Insurrection Barbie.
That's where America's at.
There's so many homes that would buy insurrection Barbie.
Just a militant Barbie intent on taking down democracy would fly off the shelves.
It's going to be huge this Christmas in insurrectionist homes.
You think Maren made a mistake?
No, I think she-
By bringing insurrection Barbie into the world?
I think it is a funny, I think she... By bringing Insurrection Barbie into the world? I think
it is a funny, I don't know,
sketch, Lauren. I think
Insurrection Barbie is kind of hilarious.
And I would even like if
Maren Morris came and cameoed as
Insurrection Barbie, but also that would
make her need to dress up like an insurrectionist
and who really wants to do that?
Well, maybe some of the new
cast members of of snl
yes keep an eye out for um that announcement soon and uh but anyway no i think that she's um
playing it online and in life and probably live on concert because the woman's voice is incredible
she's a great performer and i'm seeing her on October 17th. Oh my God, where's she playing?
The damn bowl.
Oh, that'll be so good.
Marin, I blasted 80s Mercedes minutes
before we started this recording.
What a song.
I will never stop saying it.
I just have to say too, the bones.
Oh, the bones.
It's a bop.
Did you see?
Marin has been actually
posting a little bit about this,
but she auditioned for Wicked on Broadway
and got a callback. For Glinda?
For Elphaba. For Elphaba.
Yeah, yeah, that feels good.
And I was like, I would
buy a ticket to this. Defying
Gravity. What a song.
No, no, no, of course.
But I'm saying Define Gravity. I meant to
finish the sentence. Define Gravity by
Alain Marin would
be so, so good.
It'd be incredible. Anything else
you want to bring up? Mama. What? I think
it's time for I Don't Think So Honey. Okay, Mama.
I think it's time indeed.
Do you have something? I have something kind of
weird. I have something kind of
weird too.
I think this is one of the weirder wacko episodes
and I think it's okay
to sometimes get a little weird, a little wacko,
get in touch with your kind of kooky side.
You know what I mean? Especially
as we get into fall, it's going to become
a little bit darker, a little bit colder.
You can try some things out
in the privacy of your home.
Getting a little weird and kooky, trying
that new hairstyle, putting on that makeup
you know what I'm saying?
You know, just like
just get a little weird.
You know?
You think you're going to have a little weird moment
this fall? I might get a little weird this
fall. Like I think I might try something
different. You know, maybe do a little
what about a little ear piercing for me?
Ooh, and
I think you're going to pierce the ear that
not many people expect.
The left ear?
Which one's the gay ear?
The gay ear, I think, is the right ear.
So you think it's kind of queer for me to pierce the not
gay ear? I think
either ear,
it's queer.
That's a rule of culture.
What number was that? 75.
That's rule of culture number 75.
Either ear is queer.
It's queer.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
are back.
I love that.
Welcome. And last season's drama was just the tip The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back. I love that. I love that. Oh my gosh.
Welcome.
And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg.
You're recording us?
I am disgusted.
Never in a million years after everything we've been through
did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy.
We were friends.
How could you do this to me?
I don't trust her.

Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women.
And T and I, well, we have no problem going there.
Listen to Levels to This with Cheryl Swoops and Tarika Foster-Brasby,

You can find us on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Elf Beauty,
founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. 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.

Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.
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 take his son with him.. His father in Cuba. Mr. González 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.
I have a good idea.
Okay, this is Matt Rogers.
I don't think Sony's time starts now.
I don't think so, honey. There's never been a sunscreen that won't sting you in the eyes why have we had shark tank
for so many years and no one has gone on with the invention it's sunscreen but it can get in your eye
and doesn't sting for me this is the most obvious invention anyone could possibly think of and yet
here we are in the year of our lord 2022 no No one's even thought of this yet. Every sunscreen you put on your damn face.
And let me tell you people, readers out there,
I hope you're protecting your son in these times of great heat.
Because if you step outside, it's like a demon heat.
And please be protecting yourself with SPF.
It's different for everyone, but get some on your skin now.
If you don't, I don't think so, honey.
Back to your eyes stinging and sunscreen sliding,
sweating down into your face.
15 seconds.
Suddenly you're unable to see.
I don't think so, honey.
And then the pain sets in.
It is pain unlike you've ever felt.
And it is because no one has come up with the invention.
Brought it to Barbara.
Brought it to the sharks and said,
sharks, are you willing to go down with me?
No, I don't think so, honey.
What a shame. That's one minute that was beautiful now what kind of sunscreen are you using that would
sting you and you're like are you spraying it on are you i'll tell you right now that i put super
goop sunscreen on my face have you heard of this no relationship with there's different kinds of
super goofs on super goop sunscreens which do you know which one you're using is the the it's heavy white so i think you can probably look into they make a
matte sunscreen and which feels very apropos oh i just got it i just got it and that one kind of
goes on i'm sorry i i normally i don't do puns or wordplay that well but it's but it's a secret
power that you'll reveal later in your career. You know what I mean?
Yes, yes. Yeah. Because right now you can still do
so much types of comedy, but later,
when you go into your pun era
in like 10 years, people are not going to see
that coming. That would be so cool.
Comedians should have like eras
more.
Comedians should have
eras more.
Absolutely. I love it. And Absolutely Not in like the Chappelle way
Like oh he's in his like transphobia era
I feel like there should be like
I'm in my clownery era
I'm in my
Comedia era
I'm in my pun era
I think comedians need to have more eras
100%
Like you know what I mean
We need Huge massive reinventions Comedians need to have more eras, 100%. You know what I mean?
We need huge, massive reinventions for comedians.
We kind of do.
I want Amy Schumer to come out next comedy album with a short blue bob,
and the theme is deconstruction in space,
very neo-futurist
you know what I mean like that's what I want
from Schumer next go around next press cycle
I want Schumer to basically do
a Julio Torres
impression yeah I want
lesbian Ali Wong
with no hair
like Sinead O'Connor
it's all hair based for you
which is what eras are
let's just be what eras are.
Let's just be real.
Eras are just hair.
Eras are just hair.
It's actually real culture number 92.
Eras are just hair.
Like pink has never gone through another era either because our hair
has always been the damn same.
Blonde? Pink?
It's been blonde mostly.
It's been blonde more than it's been pink.
When you said, this is a very interesting
gay who's on first because you were like
blonde and I was like pink.
And so then you were like
blonde.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Pink is blonde.
Blonde, pink, pink, blonde.
It's gay who's on first.
It would be a hugely successful bit in the vaudeville.
And this is what I'm saying.
I want fucking Bo Burnham to have a vaudeville era.
Yeah.
This is what I want.
Okay.
I have one that's a little weird, as I've said.
You keep saying it's so weird,
and Bowen,
I just want to tell you something. I've seen a lot of
really weird stuff,
and so for your I Don't Think So Honey to be truly
weird... It's going to take a lot.
Yeah, because I've seen, like,
turtles swim. I've seen, like,
whales give birth.
Weird. I've seen a lot of weird stuff.
This is Bowen Yang's I Don't't think so honey and his time starts now
i don't think so honey the term double fisting sometimes just sometimes it's just holding two
drinks it's not like someone you know taking two drinks to the head and that's why they need to
hold two drinks at the same time it's also co-opting the kink community hello also unless you're edward 40
handsing it it's not really what you think it is when you go oh you're double fisting it's always
like anytime someone says oh you're double fisting 30 seconds it's in that tone of like
oh someone's like gotten a haircut it's it's in in that delivery that is bothersome to me.
I have not double-fisted in a while.
No one's said that to me,
but I was watching Potomac,
and then Candice says it to Giselle,
and I was like, don't do that.
Just say you're holding two drinks.
Sometimes you're holding two drinks
for any other reason than to say I'm double-fisting.
This is a bad term.
It's giving 2010.
It's giving college for me, and we don't need it in the culture. This is a bad term. It's giving 2010. It's giving college for
me and we don't need it in the culture.
And that's one minute. I think
that something is going on here.
And as someone that has newly become obsessed with
therapy, I'm going to therapize you.
You are uncomfortable with the word fisting.
You are. You don't
like that it's being used. I'm saying
it shouldn't be used in this context.
I love the word fisting. Examine that. Because words matter. like that i'm saying i'm saying it shouldn't be used in this context i love why is that examine
that examine that because words matter right but that's not really an answer to the question why
don't you think people should be saying double fisting and they should say something else like
i'm holding two drinks when it's just sort of is it because of fisting the word no ending it's
because the term double fisting carries with it this like pizzazz and
flair when people use it they're like ooh double fisting and you're like don't do that i'm just
holding two drinks it's not don't editorialize me and how do you how when when if someone were
to say to you you're double fisting what's your fear about how you'd be editorialized? I have no fear. This is not a fear. I go, it's a gripe.
I go, no, I'm just holding two drinks, sir.
So you think that double fisting shouldn't exist at all as something anyone ever says?
It just, I don't know what it's supposed to do.
Like if someone is Edward Fortyhands, which I have not seen since college either, I would go,
well, that person is doing Edward Fortyhandsing, which I have not seen since college either, I would go, well, that person is doing Edward Fortyhands.
What about this is not clicking for you?
You don't think that when someone says to you
you're double fisting,
that you're not taking it as an accusation
and maybe you have an issue to examine on your hands?
Hey, you're double fisting.
I definitely don't have an issue.
You're being Garcelle to me right now.
You are Erica.
To my Erica.
By the way, can we just talk about how rotten this season is i i'm over the season this is a bad season of
beverly hills i just have to say like the first of all i guess the fact that it's all moved online
and like off the show to yeah i hate it no lame and i just think like you obviously need like
something to change at that point,
just because so much of the narrative is like,
not what's actually happening in the show.
And then every now and then there'll be like an iconic moment or one of the,
one of the women does something funny,
but like this Diana thing the other day with Sutton,
like the way that all those women just sat there while Sutton just cried and
cried while Diana is laughing, a fuck, gleefully
calling her a cunt. Yeah,
that was wild. And none of them really
said anything besides Garcelle and I was
just like, you can just feel it getting
ugly. Dark in a way.
And I will say that it's not
necessarily like when it's dark you don't
like watching it, but when it becomes like
dark and also
inactive and not not fun it's
static yeah it's static darkness hearing an erica jane's laugh i'm sorry that little cackle is just
nails on a fucking chalkboard it's the worst sound here's what I really need. I need Crystal to say something to Erica
Jane about
the earrings, and I need her to not
back down. If she's going to now bring
up the fact that it's $750,000,
but I need Crystal
to do that, or
maybe it's just not the show for her, but
she needs to come hard.
If she's going to take on this
Erica Jane plotline about the
$750,000 earrings, she better not
back down and get afraid of Erica when Erica lashes out
because you can handle her.
You dwarf her.
You have actual money.
Your husband is great.
You have a family.
Don't be scared of Erica.
Don't be scared of Erica.
No one should be scared of Erica. She is one scared of Erica. No one should be scared of Erica.
She is one of the most pitiful people
in the public eye.
I mean it.
But Crystal, too, I'm like,
none of these people are giving the give.
We need to be giving the give.
And we love Garcelle, but Garcelle
will often just sit there when something happens
and go, that's not right.
And it's just like, oh, then,
I don't know. Yeah, of course it's not right. And it's just like, then, I don't know.
Yeah, of course it's not right. Then get up
in there. Let's get up in there.
Make something happen. Get up
in there. This is why I
need Potomac back ASAP.
Unfortunately, like Midnight's, it's not coming
out until mid-October.
And you and I
seem to have a disagreement about the Salt Lake
City Season 3 trailer I go
I loved it
the season 2 trailer was
a masterpiece in trailers
I loved the season 3 trailer I mean
when Heather revealed her black eye I was like
absolutely who did it
that's we already have a whodunit
on our hands and that's because Salt Lake
is and will always be
first and foremost a's because Salt Lake is and will always be, first and foremost,
a crime thriller. Salt Lake City is a crime thriller. I'm a thriller. I just think the
black guy might be a big, big nothing. Might be a big burger of nothing, as we call it.
Nothing burger. All I know is we did see in the footage, Heather absolutely tossed Whitney.
Heather and Whitney,
that is,
if that friendship goes,
you go,
what else is happening?
I just,
I will,
these are women of great esteem,
great respect,
great beauty,
great talent, and beauty, great talent,
and great fortune.
And great drama.
And great conflict.
They have a great fortune,
these women.
They sit on great fortunes.
So to see them in conflict is...
Really troubling.
It says end of days to me.
It says it's giving end of days.
It's giving end of days to me.
Period.
Period.
Potomac needs to come back.
As I've said, it's the best vibes of any city.
The women look absolutely gorgeous in that photo.
Period.
Oh my goodness.
I need these women to go.
I'm actually excited for Mia
to come back in.
You know what?
Let's see what Mia's giving.
I'm not upset about Mia
and Big Daddy either.
What's it?
Big Daddy.
Whatever.
I don't know what his name is.
But Mia gave us some iconic moments
in the last season
she has a big heart
I know Giselle
she has a big heart
she has a beautiful heart
she has a beautiful heart
and I've met Giselle
and she has a beautiful heart
and like I was a dancer wearing and she has a beautiful heart beautiful heart and like
i was a dancer wearing gowns at a place that served lobster and steak and lobster
it was a five-star restaurant it was a five-star restaurant where we served steak and lobster and
i did wear a gown i was not a stripper cut to two episodes before i was a stripper Mia
no we need to give Mia
the give she is
a legend
that's funny
anyway
Potomac needs to come back
and also whenever Candace
talks about her big feet
whenever she says
your big feet and then they get into a conversation about whether or not
that's like size and insult i size this sure but then sometimes like at the reunion they did i
think cut to a close-up on the feet see that's what we need we don't need this darkness we need
the question of is it okay for a woman to say another woman's feet are too big discuss this
is why potomac is the best.
It's funny. These women are funny.
Okay. I mean, let's not also forget that
Potomac has seen it's probably the darkest
days on any other franchises. Yes.
And it, but
there is another dawn. Yeah, there
is another time. Period.
Period. Um, I want
to tell you before we go about one
song that I recently listened to which
actually was snubbed in the great global songbook and i wanted to shoot it your way okay just so
it's this is more of a for your consideration from me to you um as the nominations approach
you know what i mean right around the corner and um we think about recognizing iconography.
And here's the song.
Stand Out by Tevin Campbell from the Goofy Movie soundtrack.
Oh my God.
Can we just give flowers to Tevin Campbell?
Yeah.
Flowers.
Can we talk?
Iconic Tevin Campbell song.
Stand out.
Amazing voice. Iconic Tevin Campbell song. Stand out. I'm all in the crowd.
Even if I got a shot out loud.
Amazing voice, Matt Rogers.
You've never sounded better.
And what?
Sorry, I'm just crying.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to make you cry.
I didn't mean to make you cry. But Tevin Campbell was out here sounding like the 90s.
Take me back to a time and place, King.
Now, take me there.
And I'm so happy he's come out of the closet recently.
I'm so happy he's living in his true self.
He's someone who really was giving the give.
I'm sorry.
My new phrase is give the give.
I've noticed it.
Which really can apply to so much.
And Sarah Sherman did kind of help bring this into my lexicon.
But Tevin was giving the give since day one.
Since he burst onto the world stage.
When he says in the track,
it's a piece of cake.
Are you kidding me?
Also, do you remember a Goofy movie?
The character of, I believe it was Roxanne.
The most beautiful woman in the world.
The most beautiful dog in the world.
The most beautiful woman.
Dog woman.
In the world.
She said, this is a woman.
Let me hold my books to my developing chest.
Notice my bangs.
Even more beautiful.
Notice my bangs.
I'm going to look even more beautiful than Kate Moss.
Notice my bangs.
Just a great beauty.
A figure of great esteem, respect, beauty, talent.
She loved to read books.
One of the best things to do.
Couldn't be Leah. I'm sorry.
Now we're fully in the Leah Michelle can't read
sort of bit.
I have to say I fully believe
she can read. I believe it.
Some of the longest books
in print.
Some of the longest books in print Leah Michelle
has read. Roxanne
though, Roxanne and Max
had just one of those romances that you're
like, I hope this works out.
I bet they're still together.
I bet they are still together
fucking like dogs.
Roxanne is a
gorgeous dog woman. Beautiful.
Beautiful.
That's rule of culture number 77.
Roxanne is a gorgeous Dog woman
Beautiful
Beautiful
We end every episode with a song I gotta listen to it again.
Bye.
Korean!
Korean!
