Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang - "Chunks" (w/ Julio Torres)

Episode Date: August 27, 2025

Reality "forks" in this episode of Las Cultch with friend of the show and noted fresh, young, creative talent Julio Torres, who has truly made it Off-Broadway with his new show Color Theories, running from 9/3 to 9/22 at Performance Space NY. He joins our hosts Matt + Bowen to discuss the greatest dresses of all time, The Dress (you know the one), the origin of the phrase "demon twink" and the plot of Bye Bye Birdie (they think). Also, Eva Longoria's impact on culture and the boys themselves, the film Her, Texas Roadhouse and Cracker Barrel dining culture, shoeless mannequins, the dangers of too much weed soda and the concept of a "Costco chain". All this, what a Julio Torres-Taylor Swift discourse might be like, how it feels to purchase condoms as a high schooler, a Zohran campaign strategy brainstorm, and the planning of what may prove to be the greatest drag pageant in NYC history. Get your tickets to see Julio and be sure to rock your "I Can't! I Have Rehearsal!" t-shirts, which are available somewhere out there, probably. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Color theories. Color theories. Very external title. Very external. You think of colors when you say it. In fact, I even wore sort of a color today. You did. For those of you who aren't, why?

You aren't watching the podcast on our YouTube channel. I'm wearing blue. This is so interesting. And I think I'm going to save this until we bring him in. But I think you are such a specific audience to go see this show about colors. A colorblind individual. As a colorblind king. Yeah.

Do you think I'll still like it? I think some jokes you'll be like, oh, I don't know what Chartreuse is. I guess that's not for me. What is Charter's? That's niche humor. Can I say what Chartreuse sounds like? Sounds like some kind of red. Char.

Char is arid, fire. Oh, interesting. Well, yeah, they came up with a color name after Pokemon. So that might be why. Is it blue? No. What is it? It's like a greenish yellow.

Like a... Greenish yellow. Well, now I've heard everything. Now, Color Theory's is playing on a limited run. 22 performances only. September 3rd. I wonder if there's anything to... the number 22.

I wonder if Julio was like Taylor Swift. Taylor Swiftian. And that's all numerology. It's not just color theories. It's also numerology. What if we found out that there's been Easter eggs for years? For decades.

Yeah, that Julio has been doing Easter eggs. Well, I want to talk to him about numbers because I feel like he's done a lot of great material about letters and now about colors. I don't think he's really shapes, of course. I wonder if numbers are his next.

Despite being color impaired I enjoy you so much I do I think so Yeah Yeah I can I can go through the You know what I'm gonna do

I am gonna go through my outline And highlight the parts that I think you will enjoy And give you a percentage Of how much of the show I think you'll enjoy Let's I think that will be helpful. And then you have to grade each beat, each moment of the show on a scale of zero to

100. And then like the moments that I don't think will resonate with you are just N.A. And will you allow me at that point to sort of get up and walk around the space? No, no, of course. Yeah. So at that point in the show, you can, you can like schedule a meeting, whatever you need and then come back. I'll just get out of my earphones. Hey, yes. No, yes, of course it's a good time. Of course. No, I'm just missing this part today. He doesn't. No, no, he told me. He told me. They go, shh, I go, no, he told me.

Yeah. This part's N.A. This part's N.A. This part's 15 or N.A. Yeah. 15%. Wait, how many, how many sections in the Outland are there? Let's get into it.

Let's get into it. I want to know proxies. I love, I love, yeah, that's a really great way of promoting work. How many sections can we expect? How many sections can we expect? Um, I think there's broadly, there's broadly, I'm going to say six chunks. Six chunks. Six chunks.

Yes. Chunk number two. So I like doing tech and be like, can we go back to chunk number three? I want to go to the, like, just at the top of chunk three. There was a moment in the chunk that I wanted to work. Were you ever properly theater boys? I wouldn't say so, no. Like in college, I mean, like.

Matt did shows. I did not. I did, so I was always a writing student, but they allowed me to do shows. There was one like cool theater, cool one at NYU called Experimental Theater Wing, where they like didn't give a fuck two middle fingers up. It did you tell me. Like Worcester group style. It's very like, bro, you know what I mean?

It was like, they would have taken anyone that was talented to come do shows. Otherwise, you couldn't. Okay. Because I am learning a lot of, like, theater. Etiquette. Etiquette, lingo rules. Like, God Mike. God Mike.

No, I knew God Mike. I knew God Mike. Yeah, you knew God Mike. They have flashcards for me. What do you mean? Oh, that's so cute. No, they don't. That's the way.

I thought you were saying that you were being serious. They were like, spot. Like, no, I, I, like, things like, uh, like opening night is not the first It's after previous. It's after previous. Because I was like, there's a mistake in the calendar. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because why is opening night after, after, and what is, well, where are we previewing this too?

Right. That is something that I have a preview is a trailer because I come from film and tell us. Yes, you come from the world of films. You have to unlearn a lot. I have to unlearn a lot. I have to unlearn. I have to unlearn a lot. Or like the concept of this being an off-Broadway show.

Right. How does I make you feel? Like, I don't understand why like mentioning a street that has nothing to do with the show. Like, it's also not on Canal Street. Right. It's also off Canal Street. It's also like off...

Can you say on First Avenue? Yeah. It's not an off-Broadway show. It's an on-first avenue. That's really good. Did they ever tell you what distinguishes an on-Broadway and off-Broadway show? The reason will shock you. Is, like, the number of seats?

Mm-hmm. 99 is the most, is the max number of seats you can have an off-Broadway. Okay, so a question. Yeah. A wedding can be off-Broadway. See, this is where it gets crazy. Or a wedding can be on Broadway. More than 99 seats, it's a Broadway wedding.

Depends how many friends you have. Mm. If you're a, if you have a lot of friends, you're a big Broadway star. Now, why are you thinking in terms of weddings, Julio? What are you popping the question? Well, this would be a great place to launch. I'm getting into wedding planning. You would be amazing at it, truly.

Nothing would arrive on time. Imagine if I actually was responsible for, like, the eye sculpture has to get here at this time so that we can put it in the freezer. Right. It's everything that you love, but nothing about the logistical execution stuff is ever going to be okay with you.

You're never going to wear a headset. and tell people, okay, release the doves. You're never going to do that. Release the doves. See, a lot of what you just said, though, I think he would love. Like, I think you would like to wear the headsets. Always release the doves.

There's no cue. Always release the doves as soon as you know they're captured. Did you ask them how they feel? Because if they want to be released, they release them at once. Release the doves as soon as you find out they're in a cage. Yeah, I'm just bringing that up as an example of there are things operationally.

or whatever that you have to, like, hit as a wedding planner. Releasing the doves. I'm just saying, like... Kicking out the intruder. Yeah, there's always one. We saw the movie Wedding Crashers? Very scary. Very scary movie.

What straight men can do. I do think there should be... It is surprising to me, and wait, okay, IP for the two of you. Gay wedding planner? Gay wedding crasher? A wedding gays. Because there is a type of gay man who is always at a wedding. Yeah.

No, it couldn't be me. I'm not really at least. But you know what I mean where like you look at the pictures and it's like, how many like girls from college do you know? Oh, for sure. They're like constantly at a wedding. Yes. And the caption is like about last night. Of course.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm taking umbrage with gay guys who are constantly at their mother's seaside house in Hyannis. There was a kind of gay guy like just like. on Cape. I'm just saying like a seaside town. Seaside gay. It must be nice. Seaside gaze. Seaside gaze and I go. A chunky knit. By the way, let's go back to six chunks because I think there's no less compatible word for

Julio Torres in the English language than chunks. Than chunks? Yeah. How does chunks make you feel? It made me feel like maybe I have to have more appreciation for what I do. Well, I refer to it as chunks So you're looking at this in a positive way And it's good because it is the title of app So far

So that's chunk Chunks In case you can sort of You can conjure up something better Right now It's the frontrunner for title of that That is unfortunately a really good title But maybe you're coming around on the word

The picture of the three of us Like inevitably that we take it The end of episode smiling and it says chunks Chunks Kind of love Kind of cool Kind of cool. Wait, what was I going to say about?

Oh, weddings, oh, seaside gays. I'm just bringing this up as, as, I'm just no problem. There's no problem. I'm just like, there's. You took umbrage. I take umbrage with gay guys who were just like a different place every single, every single day. You just did a lot of, you just had a busy itinerary. I'm not, I'm not calling you out.

I'm just saying. Speaking of gays I take umbrage with. Speaking of gays, I take umbrage with, I don't like you. I like you. You've been a lot of place. You know what? I was just in Fire Island for doll invasion. Yes.

That was really fun. Yeah. I did not get to meet Lusha's Massacre. Oh, was she there? Yeah, she was there. That's, we always obsessed with Luscious. I'm obsessed with Luscious Massacre. I think Lush's Massacre, if they are lucky, should be like a daily show correspondent.

Yes. Or like a how-to with John Wilson, but it's like Luscious Massacre. Yeah, really good. It's like... Cunk on Earth but Luscious Massacre. Cunk on Earth but Luscious Massacre about different stores. They're drag-vestigating different stores.

Yeah. That would be amazing. Drag-vestigating, I like. Yeah. Drag-vestigating. Drag-vestigation. Isn't that what she calls it? I think so.

Yeah, she drag-vestigates. I think... Look, you're a big mover and shaker in the biz. Oh, in Hollywood. In Hollywood. In Hollywood. Not a lot of power. No, I would say I am sound.

Only off Hollywood. You are off Hollywood, A-24. Yeah, yeah, yeah, off the beaten path. Off the beaten path. They made that movie Civil War. They made that movie Civil War. Yes, they made that movie Civil War. Hereditary.

Oh, did they do hereditary? I think. They did hereditary. Of course they did. So creative. Shout out to the hand that fed. The hand? Oh, we love that and we never bite?

Have you thought about this? We nibble. We need a little bit of naught. It was brilliant minds that made the film that made a little diva hair come off. Wait, rewind. So, as you may recall from the Culture Awards, which you've attended many years, many times. You've been at most of them. I've been at three.

There's been three, right? There's been four. You've been at three of them. Four, I've been at least three. Yeah. At the first year, you helped us introduce the macarena. Yes. Oh, yes.

Yes. Was that the first year? Oh, no, it was the first year. This was outside in Lincoln Center. That was really good. And then I think you came back for King's Theater. Yes, you came back at King's Theater last year. And that was when you presented an award.

I know, I know that's the year Tilda won. Yeah, maybe did you do Artists of the Millennium? To Tilda Swinton. To Tilda Swinton? I don't know if that was my category, but that is one of the things that happened. I think we did plan at that. We were like, okay, Tilda's going to win Artists of Millennium, so Gulio should present. That's how you...

So you know ahead of time? Yeah, well, peeling back the curtain. There's no... Everyone is aware of the fact that we know the winners but kind of way before. And so did that. Well, you don't, don't be new to this. Be true to this for once.

Okay. And then this year, you, I think, in a highlight of the show, you and Kate really tore it up with most thrilling threat. Kate was so delicious. Well, I think my favorite part of the show, it changes every day. But my current favorite part of the show is Kate accepting the award on behalf.

Yeah, Bowen fell out. And I fell out. She goes, I just want to say, seriously, guys, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity. Seriously, the opportunity to perform. To perform. Matt, Matt, Matt does it, I think, even better than Kate. Oh, please.

No, you know, what did you think? I actually do want to know, what did you think of the movie magic in that part? Yes. Because there was thunderclaps. There was, did you see when you smelled the, rose. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And there was sort of a minor chord. Yes. Oh. It's, it was, how long did the edit take? It was like a week. I guess, like, all told it was like really tight, so it was like a week. Yeah. Yeah.

How does that make you feel as a post-production king? A post-production supervisor. Do you like a post? Do you like to be in the edit bay? No. No. No. No.

I'm not, I, from home. Is it about watching yourself or it's just about the process of like, okay, like, let's give it in here. No, it's like, I know what happens. I already know what happens. Oh, it's the novelty. It's the novelty has worn off. Yeah, I've got it. You know, in theater, you won't have that. You won't have that.

Think about that. No post-production in theater. It's actually, we'll coach your number 16. There's no post-production in theater. You're going to love it. But what about the thought of doing it every night? What? What about the thought of doing it every night? night. This is why there's only two

two performances. Really? Is that because all you can handle? And it's not new orology, right? There's no secret to the number 22. Easter egg Julio is really fine. I can do, I can, yeah, yeah, Miss Swift and I. We, we, uh... The life of a show girl. Yeah, life of a show girl.

How do you relate to orange, being the color theorist that you are? I think I wouldn't have linked her. to orange. Right. I don't think many

people would have, and I think that's almost why she's chosen it. I think that's why she, I would assume that's why she, because orange is a very intrepid, warm, uh, like like 90s kind of. You probably do orange very well, huh?

Color. I don't think so. I think I'm attracted to orange, but I don't think I, I don't think I'm, I do orange. He is attracted to orange. I think I would call your hair And recent years. You're thinking literally. You're thinking, see, you need to come to the show

and learn everything. Oh my God. This is color theory. This is color theory. Literally. Okay, before we get into the color theories and then we won't spoil the show, obviously. Right.

I want to... I will. Pink wins. Oh. Pink wins and yellow dyes. Wait. Sorry. What if that was real? That would be amazing.

Before I forget, before I forget, okay, I have been trying to get people to do this with me. and I think that you might be the perfect people is just go find a straight-up beauty pageant and just sit through it. Oh, I would love that. Like a regional beauty pageant.

One year we got a house in the Hamptons, sorry. But this was right after an S&L, and me, Celeste, in 80, and Fran, and we just kept, and Heidi, and we all watched Miss America from the 80s. Yeah. And it was so fun. It was actually really fun to watch a vintage beauty pageant, televised beauty.

Okay, you know what I'm also obsessed with is male beauty pageants. I'm talking about, like, not like Arnold, like, bodybuilder, not muscle, not bodybuilder. I'm talking like, like, the most gorgeous men from every nation in tuxedos. Yep, 1,000%. Is that so? Oh, that's probably. And was it very like, I wonder who they. You should host one.

I would love that. The shade of you should host one. You should host one. You'd be an amazing host. Yeah, correspondent. I think Matt would represent America very well. Give me some time in the gym. So there is this really, really cringy video of like, okay, so my favorite part of a beauty pageant is their, like, national outfits.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That represent their culture. They represent their culture. And there's this really, that represent the culture, of course. And there's this really crazy video. of like the male beauty pageant and it's like they go one by one and it's like Vietnam and it's like us and it's like you know the countries that are going to flop so hard right it's like you know that like Japan is going to be gorgeous that like right but then it's like you know it's like Australia it's like okay we have the khaki shorts right yeah and then they get to the US uh huh how how gun was it well jeans well if only they had gone cowboy right I love Only they had gunned with Cowboy. No, it was truly a party city Captain America costume.

That's really hard. Like plastic shield. I'm speechless. It's like saying what? Our culture is like superhero? Like superhero fake nationalism? Great. Yeah, that's really.

And this is recent? I think so. This is why they got something right back in the day. I'm not saying like the 80s. were a better time. I'm just saying... Did you say that all the time? Yeah, I do say that all the time,

but not on the record. He says it a lot, off the record. This is the first on the record that you've really said it with your chest. Your Reagan Rants. My Reagan Raves are Reagan Raves. Yeah. I love.

Reagan raves. I think that it's just fun. It's more... That's a good title. Reagan Rames with Julio Torres. I think there's something fun and time capsule about like watching an old beauty paddock. A current one makes me think too much

about the current state of things. Like Vanessa Williams coded. Yeah. When was she Miss America? She had to win in like 85, 86 because she famously was they had to take her title away because she had posed topless and they gave it. It's a very puritanical. Oh, extremely.

Yeah. They never would have did. Yeah. So in fact, I can't really think of many people that have won Miss America except the two black women who won it early, early, early on. One was Vanessa Williams and the other was Kenya Moore, who the, then became like one of the most famous real housewives of Atlanta. So she was like a real mover in Sheiko and Mouvo and Sheiko.

Is that Long Island? Is that Long Island? I didn't even. That actually is kind of cute. It's cute. Mou and Sheko. I actually kind of want that for me now. It's just toddler, babe.

No, it's just speech impediment. Okay. Oh. Which I've never had until this moment. She was a real Mouvo and Sheiko. in Bwa-W-W-W. Yeah. But, no, I feel that they are the most famous Miss Americas, right?

Oh, Olivia Culpo. Oh, yeah. Who's that? I know. She was married to Nick Jonas. Nick Jonas. Or she dated Nick Jonas. She's actually friends with Dave Mazzoni from high school.

Yes, because of Rhode Island. She was Miss Rhode Island, and then she went on to not only become Miss America, but she also won Miss Universe. Beautiful girl, you'd be shocked. The Universe. Yeah. She won all of the universe. I love Miss Universe.

That's when it becomes so good. But that is like, I'm sorry, until we discover intelligent life elsewhere and they get to compete, you can't call it Miss Universe. Well, when will that? You can't, you can't stall. Any moment, no. Oh, please. Did you see there was a breaking news report that someone felt? They have beauty pageants in other planets.

Miss Saturn is actually on her way here now. She just missed the doll invasion. Oh, wow. Saturn was coming for it. Her ship was late. But no, they said breaking news. There was a... They said breaking news.

They said... They said, breaking news. No, I wish I had pulled it up, but I didn't know we were getting here in the conversation. I should have known, though. They were just like... It's like a clip that they keep showing of like what is clearly like a small bird running past like a security. And it was just this woman being like, I don't. I don't know what it is.

I don't know what it could be. I just know that I can't stop thinking about it. It's like, it's a bird. They're like, alien life spotted. I'm like, it's a bird with like it's, you know what has that plumage in the back? Yeah. When they get excited or. It's a little roadrunner, maybe.

Sort of like that. I felt that way. So cute. So suffice to say, unless you have any knowledge that you know, we don't know that there's intelligent life. And I lied. Miss Saturn isn't on her way. We don't know that she exists.

You know what I think we should do? I think other cities in the West. do this thing. Certainly Vancouver does it because I did this. I attended a like a kind of a competitive sort of like drag competition where different establishments and businesses along the gay street in Vancouver submit a person to do like a drag number. I think it should be a beauty pageant of like New York bars of a queer New York bar like animal where like they're representing the different New York bars. Yes. And there should be like a beauty pageant in that regard. The eagle. Yeah. Yes, yes.

Like, don't you think that could be really fun? Yeah. The eagle, animal, Exley, whatever, Phoenix. Like, they all, they all, Phoenix. Miss X-Ly. Miss X-Ly, Miss Indistria? There's, they're all, they all qualify. It's a 17-year-old.

They all qualify. Yes, it doesn't matter. We need to see all of them. They all must compete. I love that. Honestly? They all must, they don't have a choice. They don't have a choice.

It's, you do this. Soron. Soron. Sorry. That's a Zeron event. Oh my God, that's a Zeran event for sure before the election. Wait, we have to do this. We have to.

I'm telling you. The way he would smile so politely at that idea. I think he'd be into it. You know, someone tagged me in a photo of Zoran with his armor on someone in a little bro jersey. My merch. Like, and I was like, you know. The little bros get it. The little bros get it.

And I think the big bros get it too. Anyone with a little bro or big bro jersey. that's a Zoron voter. And that's actually Rural Culture No. 20. Anyone with a Lilbrough or Big Bro jersey, that's a Zoron voter.

The Lilbrough, that's your base. That's your... I speak to Lilbros and Big Bros. equally, I would say I think that anyone can sort of choose

what their vibe is. But Lilbrough is sort of something when you want to be treated in a way that would suggest maybe you want a big bro. You want to be diminutive

in the face of Big Bro. Oh. You're kind of Big Bro. You're big bro. Who is very big bro. Aren't you? Yes. Aren't you?

He gets up and leaves. He's like, I've always hated doing this. You keep fucking bagging me. Stop inviting me to do their fucking little show. And it's like, and now they have this office. Oh my God. They keep bagging back. And I do it because I feel sorry.

I miss the headphones. I miss the days when they have a more headphones. I do feel odd without the headphones. But no, what I was going to say, beauty pageant adjacent is I realizing that I am sort of making this true because I am doing the Halloween party again. Oh, yes, fun. And I want to lean in to the costume contest.

Yes, you should. Okay. You are our new Heidi Klum. Yes. Yes. Heidi? Coulets. We have a new one now.

Ofwitussain. Here's a name for the party. Okay. Okay. So last year it was the cursed amulet. Yes, of course. Everyone remembers. It was the...

I do. That was the party. And everyone's mouths. Curse amulet. That's perfect. I met them at Christian. Are you announcing this or are you brainstorming? Or do you already know?

I'm announcing slash workshopping. Okay. Very Taylor Swift. Very Taylor Swift. Announced. Yeah. Yeah, I love announcing. The name, Mommy's Moods.

Mommy's moods. Really good. I love it. that you can get so many. I think we're going to have swings. Mood swings. Oh, mood swings. I love that.

You understand. I do. Mommy's moods. But, okay, so in just like that font, Mommy's moods, the next chapter in the cursed amulet story, dot, dot, dot. I really like that. There's so many ways to go.

How is the amulet connected to Mommy? Oh, I think that the amulet is responsible for Mommy's moods. I was going to say, Mommy wears the amulet and gets in a mood. It takes over. Or it's just one person wearing the amulet and as a result

of being in the atmosphere of that person. Everyone gets in a certain mood. Everyone enters Mommy's moods. I think that's it. I think it's like Mommy's Mood is like a realm. Yes. I like any time there's... Inside out for someone that should be medicated.

Yeah, yep, yep, yep. They'll never explore that. I think that they will They're cowards They're cowards They will never explore mommy's moods They will never tackle mommy's moods They actually

Well I actually think that is a Disney Pixar That you would like Mommy's moods No inside out two Inside Out two They went further than I thought they would They went for it They really got into anxiety

In a way where I was like Huh And my therapist actually was like You should see this And I was like I already did And I loved it So Inside Out 3 Mommy's moods

Okay, so there's this mood swings. There should be like a, I don't know what this is yet, but like a not right now moment. You know, it's like that the meme of like, not right now, mommy's blank. Mommy, not right now, mommy's. You know what I mean? Mommy's feeling distant.

Mommy's feeling complacent. Mommy's feeling insecure today. Or like you have to come do this right now. Yeah. Mommy's feeling impatient. Mommy's feeling overwhelmed. Okay. Here is the, okay, actually, this will be very productive.

I have two options. Wednesday the 29th. Okay. Thursday the 30th. Oh, God. Let's see. We might have to be out of town. Okay, wait. But you're just saying.

But, like, what do you think about the date in general? We're out of town. I like a Wednesday Halloween party. Thursday has a little bit too much. Thursday has a little too much stakes. You're making faces. I feel like Thursday the 30th. Fine, fine.

I just, I think if anyone can, like, really program something on Halloween week in a way that's interesting, like, people need the tent polls, and you could be the Wednesday tent pole. But Thursday is a guaranteed success. Thursday, here's what you get if you do it on Thursday the 30th. When the clock strikes midnight, it's Halloween. It's Halloween. It's Eve. And Mommy's mood. And Mommy's mood.

And Mommy's mood turns. Mommy's mood turns at midnight. Mommy's mood turns at midnight and then all of a sudden it gets like... Happy. We turn all the lights on. We start all sitting down. That's when the pizza comes. That's so nice.

At midnight, at midnight, mommy's mood will turn, but you don't know what it is. And we keep announcing, and in five minutes, mommy's mood will turn. I love it. And then we announce. Mommy is now Happy No one will know Mommy just got angry

And you get So I think what should happen is At 1158 You should take the stage And you've written a two-minute story And when the clock strikes Midnight That's when you reveal

How Mommy feels about what happened And the whole thing changes And it's sort of like Yeah off to kind of like And everyone should have a reveal Yes Bring a reveal

I'm not saying bring a costume I'm saying bring a costume under the other costume Yeah Hello Listen Listen Use your head

I don't want to explain this again I don't want to explain this again And the reveal can't be That you're wearing a cloak Over the costume No no No You'll be in the bottom two for sure

Yeah And there is a lip sync at 4 a.m. Someone will be asked to leave There is a mandatory lip sync at 4 in the morning With the two people have dropped We're paying for everyone's Uber back home.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Get over it. 700 Uber is back home. I'm excited about all this. I'm very excited. Okay, but okay, do it the 30th and...

Okay, even though, okay, we can bleep out the venues, but the venue the 29th is better than the one. Oh, okay. And can you get? We'll bleep out the venues. What are the venues? Very Thursday. And you prefer... Because.

you can move about with more ease and it's like so important to be able to move and I'm thinking on Halloween you're wearing big big things and the thought of like going into like a dance lure and not being able to no of course escape it use bathrooms there's the bathroom situation it's pretty bad I don't think I've been but it's really that's her thing but everyone was in what tank tops right of course and it was not Halloween yeah I mean, last year who won the costume contest, the coproach? Oh, that was amazing. With honorable mention to Conti Nostvarato.

Well, yeah, I mean, that's... Who was the roach? We don't know. Oh, yeah. It was kind of chic how, like, no one... There are figures who just disappear. Like, Demon Twink, I mean, kind of maybe just got, like, cyber bullied off the face of the earth. Was Demon Twink an actual person?

Yes. Yeah, oh, yeah. We were there on the boat when that happened. Demon Twink was going off on the boat. Can you give the story because not everyone might know. So, demon twink, the words demon twink came to be... Has an origin on a Thai Sunderland boat, the Brittany boat, where there was a twink at the very top of the boat on the top railing.

What do you mean at the top of the boat? So there's different levels of the boat. Like on the flag? Not on the flag. No, no. He was not like mounting. He was not mounting that, but he was like on. He was very like Kate Winslet and Titanic just like on, like, just like perched.

Perched over, like looking out at everybody. and we could all see him. And he was... It was his book. He was going off. He was going off, basically. He was the star of the book. He was the star of dancing, dancing.

But what made him demonic? Well, he was at... Not Christian. Not Christian. He was so fucked up that he, at one point, made it to the DJ booth where Ty was and, like, threw his drink on the board,

on, like, the equipment, and was just, like, acting out. And then Ty said... Why was he upset? We don't know. He was fucked up. And then, so then Ty tweets, something along the lines of, like,

Oh, my God, not this demon twink. So he coined demon twink. Wow. So, and that is sort of like, it's sort of entered the lexicon in a very seamless way. What was the outfit? That's like a black, black top. Yeah, and then I think some sort of suggestive bottom, which you might have been. The suggestive bottom.

I think the suggestion was very clear. The suggestion was very clear. Yeah. Who wants to take this home? Well, that person, there's other examples. I was talking about this with friends lately. Like, that person, cockroach at cursed amulet. Like, there are people, the person who was in the mask

during Wendy Williams' Halloween episode of what was that. Oh, you're thinking, like, anonymous New York. Well, anonymous people who are icons, but they don't want to make themselves known as those people. These are, they're right for, like, Batman villains. Yes. Right. The fact who cried shark. The fact who cried shark.

No, no, no, the Fag Who Cried Shark made himself known. The Fag Who Cried Shark didn't have to do that, though. There was a Fag Who Cried Shark when we were on Fire Island. He didn't love that we talked about it on the podcast. You can go back to the episode The Fag Who Cried Shark and hear all about it. And he's a wonderful, wonderful resident of the town. Great member of the community. And we were, we did not, we did not do right by him.

No, I don't think it was that big of a deal because it's not like, it's not like the FagCoo Cried Shark was known worldwide. We talked about it on this podcast because 15 people saw something happen on the beach. Was there a shark? There was a shark. Well, first there was allegedly a shark. And he was like, shark, shark, shark. And it was sort of like, he was nude and swangin.

And so it was like, okay, it was just a funny image. It was funny. Like this naked guy, dick, massive cock swinging around, yelling at every, screaming at everybody. Shark, shark. Yeah, and there was no shark to be seen. And then later, it was confirmed. It was confirmed.

So who's laughing now? It goes off the boy who cried wolf. He should be completely validated. No, I get it. Oh. It's like you have to believe the fact who cried shark. Yes. You have to believe.

So is he a known liar? Is that why people didn't believe him? He was a known, like, truth teller, honestly. He's a seer. You would call him a seer. I would call him a seer. A seer. One who sees.

One who sees. You know. A seer. One who sees. Hello, it's Danielle Fischel. Rider Strong. And Willfordell from PodMeets World. And we're bringing you Viva Las Content.

pageant. I think that there might be time to plan it. Until November, like, like, if it is a Zoron event. Oh, because it's right, it's a Zoran thing. No, I really want to work with the campaign on that. I think we can do it. Also, by the way, the way this is going to bring community back to New York. Hello. He did a

scavenger hunt the other day. He did. Zoran. A scavenger hunt. He, like, it was riddles. He was leaving riddles on social media. I mean, Hacks, hordes of people would show up to these places. This is what I don't want to see him do. Okay. I do not, I do not want to see him do.

The thing, no, that's fine. The thing with the headphones where they're dancing on the street? Silent rave. No, he's not going to do that. Please don't do that. I think he might. Please don't do that. There's something about a scavenger hunt that's fun and not bound to time

the way that a silent rave is always going to be like millennial, like 2006 Union Square. I don't know. The thing is timeless. I think so. Scavengeron got me in trouble in high school because you know it was on the list. Go buy condoms. Oh, brother.

That was like the most taboo thing in high school, right? Like, it's like, go buy condoms and bring it back. So then you go into the Dwayne Reed and you're like, I'm buying condoms illegal. Are buying condoms illegal? No, it was just more like, I'm a teen going into a Dwayne Reed, going over to the condoms,

picking one out, giving it to the person. It's like, I still feel like this when I'm buying like a douche. You know what I mean? Condoms. What do you call it? An enema. You know what I mean? I'm like, oh, here I am.

Like, looking as gay as I do, buying douches. But I feel self-conscious buying them sometimes in a way, like, when I remember being a teen and doing a scavenger out with my friends, it was always like go buy Magnum X-Ls. Right, right. And then I one time did. Can't remember if we won or lost, ultimately unimportant. My mother found them. Oh.

And I don't know what she thought about me buying magnums. but certainly she didn't her mind didn't go to oh there must have been a scavenger hunt her mind went to my son must have been a scavenger I know my Matt I think she was like

huh no it kind of it kind of is really no it wasn't bad do your impression of Matt's mom I bet you wouldn't be that far off have you met her I have met her

she doesn't seem like like a withering flower at all no no I was doing it's not that do the impression you think my mom is and then I'll do a Perfect impression of my mom. Well, okay, my mind went to this person who is not your mom,

which is like, there must have been a scavenger hunt. He would never. He would never. Okay, so that's not. That's not her. But it's not super far off because it's more like, you're going to do it. You do it.

Hold on, hold on. Oh, I guess there was a scavenger hunt. Okay. All right. This is it. That was closer. This is it. well there must have been a scavenger hunt or something

well you know they have fun the kids they do a scavenger hunt sometimes it gets a little silly it's not for me but you know I guess my son has a big dick I guess he's got a big old cock well you know it's all right that's my mom is that generally her attitude yeah are things generally all right though like cheerful oh yeah I would say things are generally all right and what she does when she thinks something is not all right is famously

She goes, hmm. So did you get a, hmm? Ariana Grande's favorite vocal tech, because I told her about, on the set of what could told her about, this thing that Matt's mom does. The Marge Simpson? Yeah, the Marge Simpson.

Like, hmm. What about Marge? Okay, sometimes when I can't fall asleep. What do you do? Sometimes when I can't fall asleep, I close my eye and I rank what I believe are the most famous dresses in history. Is Marge's dress always up there?

I realize that Marge's dress. Green column. Green column. Green column is maybe number three. Wow! We talked about this on the show. We said what's the most famous dress? Oh, you have?

Yes, we said it was Cinderella's dress. Cinderella is number one. Sorry, no, no, no. No, no, no. You probably had just seen, like, merch or something. I had not just seen merch. No. The Cinderella merch is telling you.

No, no, no, no. Okay. Undeniable at number one, Marlon. Bill and Monroe's white dress. Yeah. Yes. The JFK dress. Above the,

oh, the JFK dress. No, no, above the van. Oh, oh, the Subwayway, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Or was that, Jennifer, Gen.

Gen. For Blonde's, one of those. That's not, Jennifer Blonde's the pink. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The one that, the one that, Madonna. Yeah, yeah.

No. You're right. The white dress, I think, is number one. Number two, and at number two, the dress. The black and blue. Yeah. If you, if you Google,

image the dress. That's what comes out. That's what comes up. Well, no, that was, I remember I was with Matt that night. Do you remember where you were that? No, it was at night. It happened at night. The dress came at night. And we started this, came at night. We were, right here, we were across. I heard you? No, we were across from Carnegie Hall. We're in Midtown. Yeah, we were out of Delhi

across from Carnegie Hall. When cabs starting, honking. Yeah. The dress. You need to remember, do you remember where you were? This It was a huge moment. You need to remember. You need to remember. You need to remember. You need to remember.

No, we were. We didn't see the same thing. We did not see. You saw white and gold. No, I saw black and gold. No, I saw black and blue. I've always thought it was black and blue. It was black and blue.

I think we were on the same page. No, people said it was white and gold. No, no, no. Okay, so we, we, you and I were on the same page. And we were like, what are they all talking about? And then everyone started to be on like, it's white and gold. And we were like, huh? Like, it's sort of, that's when it became twilight.

Was it, do you think reality, like, split, like, forked at that moment? Just, just, just in terms of, like, is that one reality forked? Is that one reality forked? Well, for these reasons, this is number two. And number three is March Simpson. And I think number three is March Simpson's tube green dress. Rural culture number 15 is the dress is when reality forked. Yes, for sure.

I just had to make sure that was known. Of course. Bjork swan dress. Yeah. Oh. J. Lover. I would say that's higher than Marge's dress. You think, which one?

Jay Love Versace. It started Google Images. You have to give it. Oh, it did. Yeah, okay. I want to put a dress out there. Okay. Rose Dewitt Bucator's dress in Titanic.

No, the one that she's wearing during the whole climax. No, no, no, no. It's top 10. It's top 10. That is definitely like top four hats. I'm not talking about the hat. I'm not talking about the hat. We've nominated it at the Culture Awards.

We weren't even talking about hats. And so to start a conversation about hats, that's wrong. That's wrong. Okay. We weren't talking about that. I have them sorry to be so strong. So you think you're thinking about like the sort of like midnight blue with the, no, it was like a deep red with like the beating, the black beating.

Is that the one where she's, where she, where he drowns and he's. Yes, she was ultimately wearing that. Oh yeah. That's the same dress. Yeah. She's wearing it. It's empty. I don't think this.

Okay, fine, fine, fine. I think you're thinking about the character. I think about, you're thinking about the general costuming. You're not thinking about the one dress. We might just be like ultra-titanic gays. Yeah, yeah. And so it might be for us. If you, if you, if you, can you draw that dress?

I think I could. Really. Oh, that's like, that's a criteria and you have to draw the dress. Yeah. Prove that it's so famous that it's so engraved in your mind. Draw. Draw it. Well, draw it.

Marge Simpson, anyone can do it. You're so, it's so memorable. It's an accessible silhouette. It's an accessible Now I'm going to think Are we missing anything here? Oh, so many. I do think the Bell, Beauty and the Beast.

Oh, the yellow. Absolutely. The, like, heinous, like, Kinseniera in yellow. Hainous Kinseniera in yellow. Lady Diana's revenge dress. Oh, absolutely. Who could forget? Oh, my God.

Lady Diana. I love you, Lady Diana. Lady Diana is so. She was. She was. Yeah, and then I guess there's like... I think honorable mentions to like Rihanna Yellow MetGala, Chinese.

I do think that you have to give Maryland probably a second one, which was the JFK Happy Birthday dress because then it did appear decades later on Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala. So clearly there was run-it-back value on that dress. The dress that returned. The dress that returned and was famously tailored.

The dress that came back. That's a good horror film The dress that came back I haven't worn my wedding dress in decades And now my daughter is getting married Let's go up to the attic They get there The dress is alive

And doesn't want to be worn by the daughter I think wait that's beautiful That's beautiful intergenerational expectations And it's ultimately a film about legacy That debut film about Matt Rogers Yeah I think that might be really good That I would write

and I think you would direct it. Bowen is, of course, the star. He plays the dress. I want to be the dress. Okay, and are we talking like face superimposed in the chest of the dress, or just voice? It's motion capture. It's motion capture, okay.

You don't find out the dress has a voice until later. You know they're going to push Randy Circus. He has enough, I feel. But can he play a dress? I have to go? I think, yeah. No, I have to go. Hold on.

Hold on. I have to leave. I have to go. Because he wants to go start writing the script He thinks it's so good What Julian and I had a movie idea That honestly I think Matt would be the star of What was it?

What was it? Hold on, I'm going to look it up I'm going to look it up I'm looking over their shoulder at the notes Dumb gay fagg It is killed in the first minute of film It's like it's about a guy It's about a guy It's about

I love this idea already I can see it now We should write a movie about him called Blake Oh, yes. He is going to the first summit. He is at the Out and Equal Summit at Disney. And his flights keep in council.

He just wants to get to the summit. Yeah. Is it called the summit? That could be it. The credentials. The credentials. The lanyards. I love the credentials.

I think Matt. Shonda rhymes. Yeah. The credentials. The credentials. I think Matt needs to. I think we're going to write a Matt Roder's vehicle. That would be wonderful, guys.

Thank you for that. That would be really great. That would be wonderful just to have you guys just get together and create, you know what I mean? I feel like I'm like a big actress that you're meeting at her production company

and it's like, I'm so excited because I just love your mind. You know what I mean? I just am so excited by your creativity and like I just feel like what you create is so I just never know where it's going and that's what I love is to be surprised.

Like I'm looking for creative voices. This was what Emma Stone said to you when you guys first met. Oh, yeah. The creative voices spiel. She said that. I'm looking for creative voices. Yeah, yeah.

Fresh talent. Fresh talent. I want fresh creative voices. I miss when we took generals. You know, now we don't get generals anymore. Like, you mean like commuting to like TBS? TBS and hearing about mandates. Yeah.

Hearing about mandates. Well, our mandate is, as long as it's fresh and creative and new talent. Fresh new talents. We're looking for fresh new voices. I was so good at Generals. I was awful. I bet you were. I would, I bet you were, yeah.

I would twirl. It is hard to hear, even though it's a compliment. It's a huge compliment. It's a huge compliment. Yeah, it's how the industry works. And I was always at them for too long. No, that's how you know what's going well. Oh, yeah.

Did anything come out of them? Well, I think maybe years later in a way that I wouldn't remember because I did the thing of like, I hit L.A. so hard when I first got there and took every general. So I surely didn't remember any one's name. Like, I was just like, I left being like, oh, that was great. No, of course. No, I can't. It's so hard.

So generals for people who might not be in the know is general meeting. You would just take at every single. it is crazy because no other industry does this where it's like a go see kind of it's kind of like a it kind of is like a ghosty you just like stop it and you're like this is my deal it's a get to know you and then like as you said

the point is so that eight years later they can be like you know who'd be good for this is Matt right you know and it does yield fruit it does it does bear I think it yielded some fruit great I love that who knows Hello, it's Danielle Fischel.

I just want to be left alone. What has it taken to become Novak Djokovic? It's a consistent practice. It's prayer work, mindfulness, meditation, conscious breathing. It requires more responsibility from you on a daily basis to prepare yourself for the biggest battle. When you reach your 30, you start counting your days to your retirement. I'm 38 this year.

Yeah. Maybe the Javittles can be the new Skittles. Yes. Skittles was in our comments. Oh, because one time during COVID, like, we did Instagram live from the bath. Yeah. And then Skittles was, like, kind of pervy with us. Have you ever really got...

Skittles was kind of pervy with us? They were. Sometimes I am a little blown away by, like, I will be talking to, like, whatever. There's this pizza chain in L.A. But, you know, all these accounts are ran by gay guys. That's what I'm saying is it like, I was like, where is this conversation going? The pizza chain in L.A.? It's a pizza chain in L.A.

And I don't want to say which, because it did get really flirting in the DMs. And it was just me. With the pizza? A pizza mascot. With the pizza, what's the piece of mascot? Is it like a chef? This was, by the way, this was years ago. It was Lucifer's pizza.

So it was like a little devil. Oh. And you liked the devil. And I was just. going back and forth in the DMs with whoever was running the social. This was years ago. You think they took turns flirting with you? I think that whoever I was talking to.

Do you think it was a corporate mandate to keep flirting with you? I think it was one like go, go ahead message from me from getting horny. And I have witnesses. My friend, our friend Gus Hickey was with me. And I was like, is this getting horny? And he was like absolutely can confirm. Wow. Whenever I go there and now, did they retain the company voice in their messages?

No. That's what I'm saying. All the top of pizza dropped away and suddenly it was like giving winky face. And I was like, listen. Spike Jones could never. I love that. Winky face.

Spike Jones could never. That's more interesting than her, I think. I love falling in love with Can I say what movie I love her? I do love her. That's it. That's an amazing movie. That's truly one of my favorite scarlet performances. Oh, agreed.

Yeah. Agreed. And Joaquin. And Joaquin. You can drop out of my movie anytime, King. Say, I love for gay stuff. Is that what it was? No. I don't know.

Okay. Well, have you heard about our Mara Wars? Mara Wars? So Bowen is in the Rooney Mara fan club, and I'm in the Kate Mara fan club. Oh, yes. But we love both. We love both. I'm just saying.

Are they related? Yes, they're sisters. Really? You didn't know? I didn't know. Oh, my gosh. They have such different. Very different vibes.

Yeah. Yes. Oh. Yes. Which would you prefer? Rooney. Yeah, I think that cracks. Yeah.

You're a Rooney guy. I'm a Kate there, because I don't think people give her the credit because they haven't seen an education. I've seen an education with Peter Sarskard. No, an education is her show, FX on Hulu.

Oh. And it was on an education where it was her and love Simon and she plays a teacher that gets into a relationship with a student. It was her and Love Simon? Yes. And the kid who played Love Simon.

But it's not called an education. What's the Carrie Mulligan movie? Her and love Simon. Wait, wait, wait, what is it? What is it, Rachel? A teacher! A teacher! A teacher! A teacher! I loved a teacher.

An education is Peter Sarsgard is a period piece. It's like focused films, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what's a great sentence? I'm sorry. What's a great sentence? I had a friend say this to me recently. What? I'm dating.

A teacher! I'm dating a teacher. It's such a lovely sentence. It's such a lovely sentence. Yes, of course. Oh. But it's also just love. It's lovely to date a teacher.

Great hours. There's a song about this in the Bye Bye Birdie soundtrack. On English teacher. In English teacher's wife. An English teacher's wife. That musical is weird to me. It's so weird. It's weird.

The musical is about an English teacher's wife? No, the musical is about this. Tell us about this story. I don't. By Bay, Birdie, it's about a guy named Bertie. Conrad Birdie. Brad Birdie, and then there's, like, a dad who wants to, like, go to the Ed Sullivan show. It's, like, a weird, I never really got that show.

We did it in high school, and I sat really upset in the theater because I wasn't in it because I was too closeted, and I slept high school was deprived of my Conrad Birdie, because this is Conrad Birdie. Conrad Birdie is like an Elvis Presley type, who they all are going crazy over, and then he has to join the war. He has to join the army. And so it's the whole thing of, like, it's like, then they sound like. like a campaign, it's like Save Conrad. Is this what it is? Yeah, basically. But see, does anyone know?

This is the Bye Bye Birdie plot explanation challenge. If you can succinctly explain the plot of Bye By Birdie, $10. Because there is a whole thing where there's a whole thing. To your charity of choice. Then there's this woman that's like, she's like, she's, you know, stomping her foot at her husband because he's an English teacher, but that's what she wanted. Sorry, sorry.

That is all that is. Rosie is her name. The Elvis, the Elvis Presley type of. He was also an English teacher? No. Two different male leads. He's coming into town. He's coming, but there's this couple named Hugo and Kim,

and then the opening number is actually really cute. It's called the television. And Margaret did it. And Margaret did it. This is a production by Will Ferrell's big money players and their radio podcast. Did you watch Madman? Executive produced by Anna Hosnia. Yes, I did.

By the gay played that clip. Edited in next by that game. So the gay character in Madman, Salvatore Romano, who was like the visuals guy, was like very inspired. by the opening of Bye Bye Birdie and was like, it's like gonna be like Anne Margaret and they were all watching

like look at the way he talks about this is kind of gay. Contextually that would be his Sonset Boulevard with Nicole Yes. Like in the because it got it's his compulsures. Yeah. And then his whole problem in the episode was they get a girl to come in and like do the ad which is

like kind of like ripping on Anne Margaret and he's like she's not Anne Margaret and it's like he's getting a little gay about it because it's like she doesn't have like the star quality. Everyone's like, what are you talking about? It's great. He's like, no.

I think this is what it is. Again, I could be wrong. It's so hard to explain story to people. What's the simplest story to explain? Titanic. Titanic. Rich girl, poor guy, they fall in love. It's drama.

And then guess what? They hit an iceberg and boom. Cinderella, you can explain very well. And this I would submit to the dress ranking. Cinderella? Not the, not the pink dress that her mother was. dress because that was devastating when they tore it apart

like there was so much emotional tragedy it was like as an audience you cared so much you were so happy for her about that dress that was really good that's off Broadway right that's off Broadway the way you performed fear that's really good I presented you the award

for acting for acting the gall to give me an award can I tell you something we were actually so excited because it was me James doing it and I said to James I was like should we look and so we looked a little early and James saw your name and he goes

and I was like I was like okay you can say it you can say he has to he had to have said it and he said it that's really beautiful that they were there for that wow show business my god you can't even be sentimental for one you couldn't even do that

you couldn't even you said wow show business roll your eyes the disdain your friends get to presenting you the big award at the Goths. The big award. On the Gotham Awards. At the Gotham Awards.

At the Gotham Awards. At the Gotham Awards. Very fun. Very fun awards. I love those awards. This is a room full of Gotham winners. Oh yeah. Everyone gets a Gotham.

Everyone gets a Gotham. Yeah. Okay, this is a thing. So they were like trying to figure out a way to like bring me and James to the stage. And I was like with a voiceover and I was like, say Gotham Award winners. James Scully and Matt Rogers. And then they did. And we got up there.

I guess that one was like whispering to each other. What did they? Who are they? Oh. Wait, who said that? No, I'm kidding. They didn't do that.

But it was funny because we were just like brought up with all this pomp and circumstance. Beautiful. That's a fad. That's a fuck. Best ensemble. I like my Gotham Award. I remember you saying you liked the shape of it. Yeah.

A column. A column. Pretty good. Pretty good. And it's also silver. Yeah. Which is a, you know, my favorite color going back to childhood. There's a video of me.

You would be proud of me. There's a video of me at three years old. And they're asking you questions. I think it was like a childhood, like neighborhood safety thing where they were like, what's your name? What's your mom's name? Where do you live? And then they started asking more fun questions. Like, what's your favorite color?

Silver. And I took a beat and I go, silver. Heaven. That's cool. Silver. Silver. Polished silver. An answer I think I would never give again.

Even though it's true. But you know, it's true. Your favorite color is silver. I think so. But you're a warm tone. Which is why it's surprising that his favorite color is silver. Your warm tone. You mean like, do I feel like it?

Your undertone of your coloring. Oh, is this the thing where like the lady puts the fabric in front of the- I think you, as part of promotion for the show, I think you should have that a lady who does that. Is it one lady or is it multiple ladies? There are multiple specialists and they are all so amazing. They're like, bum, bum. But the way, just the way they comment on it is just, like, mesmerizing. But they're very, like, see, see what I'm saying?

It's better now, right? See what I'm saying? Do you see the difference? You see how this is good? You see how this is good? And this is bad. And he's like, oh, right. Yeah, see, right?

You felt the Holy Spirit, right? This is, this is like a driver kind of going on and on about things that. We'll cut it. We'll cut that. We'll cut that. Yes, but don't you. just want that experience anyway of just having someone tell you

what colors look good on you? No. It is kind of nice to hear like, it's probably not a good idea for you to do blank. Like, you know what's not a great idea for me? What? Jewel tones.

What? I disagree. Really? Hard disagree. You are jewel tones. I think spiritually. Evolongoria. Yvallangoria. Jeweltones.

All your idols are jewel tones. That doesn't mean he's jewel tones. He does. I do love you, Eva. I do love you. I do love you. So, you're such a jewel tone. Are you kidding?

She wore a lot of jewel tones on Desper Housewives, if you remember. There was always like a really like, like a bright royal blue. There was always like... Her bright reds, emeralds. She was giving a, oh, she was, she would absolutely slay in like a mint. Ugh. Love, Eva. Not a jewel.

Emerald green is what I meant to say. Mint. Love Eva. I love Eva. I love Eva. I do love Eva. Have you met on the podcast? Have you met Eva?

Have you met Eva? Have you met Eva? I've never met her. That feels wrong. It feels wrong that she hasn't been on the podcast. No, definitely. No, certainly. We talk about her.

Oh, L.A. L.A. We talk about her all the time. Is she aware of this? I'm just, she must be. She's like, which gay guys are this? Right. I'm sure she asked that, but I'm, like, someone must have clued her in on the award that we named after her.

The Eval Angoria Award for Tiny Woman Huge Impact. We wanted her to present the award, but the schedules did not. a line. She's directing. Yes, she is directing. And what I would say is in advance, I would love for her to come next year. God willing, we get to do it again. Eva Longoria, if you're listening, please come

next year. Julio will do another bit. Honestly, I think Julio should win an award next year. It's probably about time, huh? I think you should give a speech. I think it's about time. Well, let's see how color theories is. Let's see.

22 performances. Yeah, turning two performances. Not enough to qualify for anything, but maybe a Los Colteristas award. Maybe a Les Colteristas Award. Definitely. Is it going to be filmed? Or is it pure theater? Because Taylor Swift would film it.

She would film it. She would film it. Does that mean you wouldn't? What? I'll film it. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Maybe we weren't supposed to ask. We'll cut around. We'll cut around it. No. Yeah.

Olivia is about to scold us. We have the same manager. Mm-hmm. And she is likely to take a meeting in the middle of the show, much like man. A thousand percent. We love you, Olivia. Hello, it's Daniel Fischel. Writer Strong.

Parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances. Just a chaotic, chaotic scene.

In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and order, criminal justice system is back.

If you're a crime junkie and you love crimes we're not the podcast for you but if you have unmedicated ADHD oh my god perfect and want to hear people with mental illness psychobabble yes yes then emergency intercom is the podcast for you open your free iHeart radio app search emergency intercom and listen now now I think it's time I think it's time it's time for I don't think so honey so just to refresh you whatever one at home.

It's a one-minute segment that we take to Rant Rail, destroy, really, like, I don't know, sometimes just totally obliterate. Yeah. Something in culture that's bothering us. Something has recently come to my attention actually as a result of the Culture Awards. Okay.

And that's the angle I'm taking today. This is exciting. This is Matt Rogers'. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now. I don't think so, honey. The people who thought that the lyric in Diet Pepsi was Costco.

chain. No. So a lot of people, as a result of Ben Platt's brilliant rendition of Diet Pepsi by Addison Ray have for the first time heard cross gold chain. And a lot of people are like, I thought it was Costco chain. I don't think so, honey, what is a Costco chain? Like, I understand you can go to Costco and buy many things, but I don't think jewelry is one of them.

You can. I just feel like it's a reach. And I understand that the song was written in like Alana Del Rey sort of like. fever dream but I think we're trying to reach at like what would Lana say and maybe Lana Del Rey would say I bought a chain at Costco but that's not what the line is and if you listen to it more than once you hear that it's cross gold chain I understand like maybe we want something different it's not that I don't think so honey you need to get your ears checked thank you Ben Platt for bringing this to the forefront it's cross gold chain not Costco chain I don't

think so honey and that's one minute you know yeah yeah I mean, Costco chain. More than 10 people have said this in my comments. Like, I never really heard that it wasn't Costco chain. You're a comment reader. I'm actually, I've actually now, as a result of like the past few months, I'd say, I'm thinking about disabling comments. It's, oh, on Instagram. I'm thinking about just doing a flat out.

If I don't follow you, you can't comment situation. I've done that for quite some time. Yeah. Or it's that if, for me, it's just if you don't follow me, you can't comment. Yeah, that's pretty open policy. It's like, oh, yeah, no, I guess that's like, you have to, like, you can't come unless you follow me, which is actually quite, it's like, therefore it's no like random people just doing a drive-by, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so that might be something.

You got to commit to following me. Kind of cute. If you want to insult me. If you want to get in my head for hours, you got to follow me first. If you want to say racist or homophobic things, you got to hit the follow bottom. Follow first. It really is. It's interesting how this all worked.

How this all... And how it never really was meant to be part of the human experience until... Whenever you say this, I'm like, that is true. And it all goes to a little mark? To a little mark? Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. Every little comment, every little piece of hate, gobble, gobble, gobble, touching.

Yeah, touching for the hate means chiching. Every time you say, like, it's actually not a thing where we're not supposed to know other people's thoughts. We're not supposed to read other people's thoughts. Right. In that way where it's like little bit by bit by bit by a bit by a bit. I'm not supposed to read other people's thoughts. And it's, yeah. Because there's a lot of stream of consciousness in there.

Of course. And you're like there's no unifying thing here other than it's a response like what's what one particular image is supposed to convey. Like it's whatever. I don't have to get into it. TBD for now, let it rip in the comments. There's still There's just

Enjoy it while you can. Are you ready, Bowen Yang? Do you have an I don't think so honey? I do. I do. Okay. This is Boen Yang's I don't think so honey.

His time starts now. I don't think so honey. Weed in soda. I don't think this is helping me in particular anymore. I enjoy it for other people. I'm not going to name brands but a weed soda

has recently knocked me on my ass and it's made by amazing people. I just think. That we know. that we know and we love, but the weed soda has been sent to me in yet another box full of four six packs.

And you know what? I have known about myself to blame. I take it back, actually. I don't blame the people. I blame myself for... Yeah, this is what I'm saying. Embibing three weed sodas. Oh, no, no, I had one...

Three weed sodas over three days, but I had one... I had half a weed soda last night that I shared with our friend, Celestium. And... 15 seconds. I woke up today grogier than ever. I think this is just a moratorium on marijuana overall.

Five seconds. This is my reg and rave. Nancy was on to something. Just say no. Oh, God. And that's one minute. All that does is make me want it even more. No.

I've never had one. I enjoy it. It sneaks up on you in a way that like an edible, an edible hits you out of nowhere, you know, the joint hits you, it kind of just hits you right away. But the weed soda just like slow. I don't like feeling groggy. I know. I don't know.

I wonder if that's because you maybe had too many. I had half of one last night and I woke up this morning feeling crazy tired. I'm just talking consecutively. Sure, sure, sure. Because I do think it's a thing, like, it's cumulative. We were just from Pete Town, and so it was sort of like cigarette alley. Like, when I'm on vacation, like, I will allow myself to be corrupted by members of the vacation party that smoke cigarettes, and I just smoke a lot of them, and I drink a lot, and then I'm smoking a lot of weed,

And I'm just like, afterwards I feel bad for like four or five days. And I think it was just the consistency. I'm on that come down for sure. Yeah, me too. You're doing good now? Now that I'm with you guys. I actually did. I said I got back to the city today and felt so much better.

Good. Like, I was just like, it was just like this thing of like, you know, the post vacation when you're kind of just like, oh, now I'll sit for a while. And the sitting just kind of like. I don't have that, but I've heard of this phenomenon. Why don't you have that? of like, we're talking about like an emotional valley after a vacation. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is so common, you don't have that? Yeah, I don't think I do. I'm so jealous. I guess, is that because you're not doing a lot of, like, drugs on vacation? Yeah. Yeah, so that's what it is. Yeah, that's good.

Good for you. Pure, innocent, fun. I'm in rehearsal mode. I'm in rehearsal. I'm in rehearsal. You, you. You, you. Should we have a little line?

No. No. I'm in rehearsal mode. Vocal rest, nasal rest. Wait, but who I would, how much money? do what I have to Are you making a and B

I have to pay you to wear a shirt that says I can't I have rehearsal I would die to see you wear that I can't I have rehearsal Okay see now Maybe that's title of that I can't

I have rehearsal I can't have rehearsal I think it would largely depend on the font which would indicate whether this is an ironic shirt or like he can't he has rehearsal and you and in order for it to be

ironic it would have to be goofy it would have to be like cursive it can't be it can't look too aesthetically pleasing it has to look a little bit it has to be it has to like if the font is anything but like straightforward then it's an ironic t-shirt

yes right and it would have to be an ironic t-shirt for you to wear it no because you don't wear ironic t-shirt wait I have one big gun to your head bazooka locked and loaded gun of fire you have to pick one t-shirt says i can't i have rehearsal one says i was young i needed the money and the other one says not a day over fabulous

which one and you know the font it's written in i don't have to explain yeah okay the options were i can't have rehearsal not a day over fabulous and i was young i needed the money and i was young i needed the money I think I'm going to go with rehearsal. Yeah, because that's like, it's so not, you're so not that person. Yeah, I feel like I was young, I needed the money.

People would go like, it's okay. Can't say you something? Yeah. It's a real sign that I have in my L.A. apartment. Which one of the three? I was, yeah, I needed the money. And it's a sign? It's next to a picture of me in Boen-Yang.

Wait, but it's a sign? I don't think it works if it's a knickknack Unless you're wearing it In my apartment in 2019 When I first moved to L.A., I was like, yeah, this I got it from like red fin or whatever the fuck Like whatever the gay cracker barrel is No, like red, red bubble

What's the gay cracker barrel? I don't know, I'm like, cracker barrel It's like where you buy little signs, right? You clearly don't go online To find like special knickknacks and crafts Wait, now we should take Juliet a Cracker Barrel. Oh, I would love that. Because he thinks it's where you buy signs.

You can eat peanuts and just fill the peanuts on the ground. In addition to having a delicious, you know, casserole or something. Yeah, you get like a 72-ounce beer. You can eat your peanuts, which instead of like, you know, bread for the table, it's peanuts to the table, you eat the peanuts and throw it on the ground. Do you have to throw it on the ground? It's like part of it. Texas Rowan House.

Wait, sorry. And throwing the peanut and throwing the peanut shells. on the ground, this brings pleasure to... I wouldn't say it's like part of... I don't think it's like a known thing about Crackerberg. It's like, you're thinking of McSorley. I'm thinking of Texas Roadhouse is honestly what it is. It's like, remember when we would go to Austin

like every year to do Story Pirates? And we'd go to Texas Roadhouse and the whole thing was like, you break open your nut with your teeth and you throw it on the ground and then someone has to come by and sweep it. And the whole thing of like, I have to go to the bathroom and it's like, crunch, crunch, crunch. That's part of their job. They know when they apply.

They could have applied at some. They could have applied at Outback Steakhouse Where everything gets thrown in the garbage This is something different Wow I don't know We're gonna take you Okay to where sorry?

Cracker barrel slash Texas Road I think both have this thing of the nuts on the ground Nuts on the ground Nuts on the ground isn't that a song It is now Reality is forking right now I don't know any of those Reality is forked in a major way on this episode.

I think it's time. But we'd expect nothing less. And there's, and he's yet more to come. And one more, I don't think so, honey is on the way. Will reality fork? After these messages.

Imagine we put an actual commercial break in here. Should. Maybe we should. Wait, let's put it right here now. And we're back. Oh, everyone's pissed. Everyone's like, that was too long.

Shut up. So, are you ready? I am ready. Okay. This is Julio Torres, is I don't think so, honey. his time starts now I don't think so honey

not putting shoes on the mannequins oh wow honey honey honey honey honey I get it that you don't sell shoes at this store I understand that but the mannequin has toenails

you have to put shoes on the mannequin you have the manufacturer of the mannequin has humanized this form to the extent they're giving it they're giving it toenails It has been thought of And you, not so much as putting a sock Or a, or just a slide, a flat, a slipper?

It's wretched. It's wretched. Unless this is a bathing suit store. Right. Because even if it's lingerie, give her a pump. Give her a pump. Give her a pump. What about pajamas?

Give her a pump. Superer, give her a pump. Of course, give her a pump. Surf her, five seconds. It is disgusting to not put shoes on the mannequins. And that's one minute. I hadn't even thought of this, but that's what makes you, you. You really do have a fresh creative mind.

Wow. That's why I'm so happy you came in today. I have a question. Do they have to have hair on their head? No. Well, then at what point do you draw the line of the realism versus the... Well, you are being very binary about it that a woman mannequin has to have long hair.

I'm not gendering the mannequin. I'm saying giving a shoe, but like if they have to have a shoe because the mannequin has been, the realism of the mannequin has gone to the point of them having toenails, should they have hair?

I mean, this is not to put any sort of value on like being bald is not complete realism. No, because I think that you can elect not have hair. That's right. But you can, just like you can elect not have shoes.

No, because these people are presumably not in their homes. in the world of these mannequins don't worry about like how they tell time so they all have a watch are we to assume that all of these people are of perfect 2020 vision why does it one mannequin have eyeglasses

well okay okay I think that that like some of okay if it's a large store with like a hundred mannequins says it's like Macy's yeah then yes statistically some of them should have glasses Yeah. And hair?

And hair, yeah. What do you think about that errant mannequin that just has like both of its forearms cut off? You know what I'm talking about? It's just all of a sudden it's like, well, what happened to her? Well, I think there's a great blouse, but what happened to her arms? Well, I think that there are mannequins that do take liberties with the human form. Well, yes. But if it's going for realism.

If it's going for realism and it has toenails. Give it a phone. Give it a phone. Give it a wallet. Give it a phone. A wallet. A wallet. Keys.

And I make an ID. A Labubu. A Labubu. Depending on the age, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Well, now they're all ages. Now it's all ages.

No, it's all ages. Just final words before we let you go. What do you think of Labubu and Lafou? Lafou is the friend? The fake one. The fake one. Team Lafoufoo. I'm happy I asked.

The people. La Bouble. That's true. Yeah. It really is true. Wait. Rural culture number 59. Lafoufoo. The people's la boobu. That might make it in the book. Absolutely.

The book. Honey. You guys are going to have an airline. In no time. Las culture airline. No lounges. Oh my God. Those flight attendants, the way I would put on sunglasses and look away. Jesus.

When those flight attendants. Who are you? How do you change the regular flight attendants? Hundreds of people at the same time. No, no. Including us. Excuse me, sir. Sir.

Sir. Sir. You haven't heard the rule of culture. The rule of culture. You go from, you have the seatbelts go from the right to your left. It's the rule of culture number one. Wow. We're going to have an airline.

Oh, Julio, come on the airline. You should have an airline. Okay. I'll come on the airline. As far as we care. Yeah, I'll do it. it'll be a private jet with a huge carbon footprint

no I think I think I think Lescal Teresa's air is sort of like Wow Air remember Wow Air What was Wow Air? It's Wow Air Wow Air was an Icelandic airline That made

They all had to make stops in Reykjavik And they were branded And it was Wow And they had like spin-offs They had mom, dad and gay Oh that's cool What? Yeah I was going to say they're on to something by making recivica stop because everyone should go there it's fabulous

I've never been we actually need to go so we're planning a lot now we're planning I did I did a shoot there it was so fun is that what were the next Lescal Teresa's awards happens I mean in our in our dream of dreams yes but then it would just be like us and Bjork which really would be fine we can figure that up I think there is like a tax incentive to shoot there. So you y'all should think about it. No, but the whole thing about Los Angeles is that it's a show,

an American show business. It's a very American show. It's okay. Yeah. I think Wow Air makes me think of wow chips. What are wild chips? Delta Work explains this very well.

It's, Frito Le, Le, used to have wow chips. Uh-huh. Like in the 90s, where it was not cooked with, it was cooked with a different oil called Olestra. And the oil would kind of slip through your entire digestive

system. Oh my God. Your body would not absorb the oil. And so they were like healthy chips. But then you would take insane. You would take insane shits. There's no absorption at all. Oh. But you would have poisonous shits

from Ollashtra. Did it say in the packaging? There's no absorption at all. I think they should have because people because now they're, where are they now? People hated it. Oh, they hated it. Well, because they didn't know. People loved it.

They would be around still. Yeah. Can you imagine a chip that you didn't have to digest? It's a chip that every single time you digest it, you have poisonous shits. So that won't work at all. At all. That's the tradeoff. I mean, people hate poisonous shits more than they like non-digestive chips.

But kudos to them for being so good that it was even a conversation there for a while. Yeah. Because you wouldn't even think that there is a conversation there. That's like an interesting show that has like one season. Before we let you go, one thing I realized is you actually and Taylor have another thing in comment. I think you would really, I know she really likes this word, and I think you would like this word. What is the word? Variant.

Variant. The agent variant. Like, she puts out different variants. Variants. Now all the Swifties, which is millions of people. Use the word variant in everyday language. Like epidemiology terms? Like variant.

Like a new strain. Yeah. Variant. And is it like medical pop? Like, like. We haven't heard it yet. We don't know. We haven't heard it yet.

We don't know. But she calls her different vinals. Variants? Different colors of vinals, color theories. Variants. And she is. We were thinking about you when she announced this. era it's show girls it is her circus era literally it's her she has

finally got there yeah careful don't stay there too long no sure I don't think she will no okay this is a quick little let the circus but there's the rumor that she will be doing the Super Bowl and then the sphere in Vegas because it fits with the aesthetic of show girls and so therefore what more of a circus literally than the sphere it's a circle which is the Latin word for circus wait is the Super Bowl in Las Vegas this year. It is not in Las Vegas, but it is in another city where like another hint from the New Heights podcast was like alluding to like the location where it would be like New Orleans or something.

Because they were like, what have you been getting into lately? And she's like sourdough bread. And she kept saying, I'm really it's a sourdough bread. I would say it occupies 60% of my time when I believe it's the 60th Super Bowl. And so this is. I'm sorry, what is the connection between sourdough bread? S.B. Sour bowl. Sourdough bread, Super Bowl. And these are intentional things that she does? Perhaps they are.

We don't know yet. Okay. Everything is intentional. Until they're not. Until it's not. Until our projection loses power. Yeah. I mean, for all we know, she's like, what?

I would actually kill to see you two in conversation. I'm not kidding. I think it would be really good. Two directors. Two directors. She's got something at Searchlight. Yeah. Does she?

Yeah. Variant. A variant. Agent, variant. Varian. What's, what's, what is agent, how does agent come in there? I don't know. I imagine sort of like a, like a, um, bombshell, ultraviolet.

Yeah, in that genre. Atomic blonde. Agent, atomic blonde. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Agent, yeah, yeah. Agent, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Agent variant. Agent variant.

I mean. Agent Orange. Interesting. Well, let's think about it after this app. Color theories is running September 3rd. through September 22nd, Performance Space, NYC. 22 chances.

Your memory is so crazy. On First Avenue, not off Broadway. We don't care for that. On First Avenue. We find it to be diminishing when you say we're off Broadway. I don't think it's diminishing.
