The Real Housewives of New York City are back for another bite of the Big Apple. Look who it is. Joined by elite new friends. Rebecca Minkoff. Have you ever heard of her? But things could change in a New York Minute. She had this wild night and ended up getting pregnant by some other guy. What?

You told her? Not today, Satan. Not today. The Real Housewives of New York City. All new Tuesdays at 9 on Bravo or stream it on City TV+. Oh hey, it's Teresa, back from the dead. Again. Just wanted to pop in and let you know that Haunting is back on October 22nd. Spooky season? I own spooky season.

We're serving up some killer stories, literally. And a few that might make you question whether you really locked the door before getting into bed. So cancel your lame Halloween plans. Haunted houses? Overdone. Candy corn? Honestly, who eats that? Your new tradition? Listening to me. Listen to Haunting starting on October 22nd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm NK, and this is Basket Case. What is wrong with me?

A show about the ways that mental illness is shaped by not just biology. Swaps of different meds. But by culture and society. By looking closely at the conditions that cause mental distress, I find out why so many of us are struggling to feel sane, what we can do about it, and why we should care. Oh, look at you giving me therapy, girl.

Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Look, man. Where? Oh, I see. Wow.

Bowen, look over there. Wow, is that culture? Yes. Goodness. Wow. Las Culturistas. Ding goodness wow Las Culturistas ding dong Las Culturistas calling

and it's been what an incredible night what an incredible night and should we say fa la la Las Culturistas calling fa la la Las Culturistas calling

yeah you might even say two words season's greetings because it is another year another Christmas season another list we have a list for you.

Yes. Once again, you thought we weren't going to end this year with the list. You thought wrong. But here we are. You thought wrong. And readers, Katie's publicists, we have not recorded an episode in some weeks. We've been backlogging them. So you have not had our fresh takes on the latest.

Culture, really. But it's okay. I think people don't need that from us right now why don't we say this the first episode of Las Codrizas

2023 will be a grand culture catch up and I say grand really the way that grand should be said not grand

it'll be grand it'll be a grand culture catch up of really November and December because we have been backlogged to hell because Matt Rogers is closing

out at the time of this recording his immensely successful iconic Have You Heard of Christmas tour which I had the privilege of joining him in the Denver show as a surprise in the Inglewood show and that hasn't even happened yet because this is a peek behind the curtain of time

the show is happening in, I think, two hours. Two hours. Two hours or so. But we're recording this episode quickly because we wanted to give you a gift. We wanted to give you a gift. This has been an amazing year. It's been one of the most incredible years. I could cry.

I have been crying. Yeah. Yeah. I've been very tearful. Tearful girl. Te tearful girl is everything okay everything is totally fine uh he was asking a tech question we are sort of like to pull the curtain back even further we are recording at the fairfield inn and suites marriott denver cherry creek which is the most words there's ever been in one single solitary hotel it's the longest building name

in the world really and did you know there's like 48 fairfield in suites like around here so you really have to know where you're going oh cherry creek in denver colorado yes tell them what you told me well as people might know there was a famous cherry Creek episode in South Park. Relatively affluent neighborhood, but kind of not real. It's just, Cherry Creek is an interesting one. Well, nearby there's an illegal Pete's and I didn't know that they were sort of the fast casual, T-H-E-E fast casual establishment,

but Bowen, you know, informed me that it was. In a post-Chipotle landscape. I mean, I drove you past the first Chipotle ever. Which really gagged me, that there was the world's first Chipotle. The world's first Chipotle in the Denver university campus. And I, and I did pitch an alternate reality because there was a strong possibility

that I was going to go to college there. If I hadn't, if I hadn't gone to New York at a young age, would we have met? Would we have had our, our moment? I mean, listen,

I mean, as Henry said in the backseat of the car when we drove past when you said that he said the world will be different and he left no comments when he said that no the world will be different if you had gone to school here in Cherry Creek I just think

God I'm so grateful for you and this is the first time I'm seeing you in person in a long time and I'm just so deeply proud of you I'm so grateful for you. This is the first time I'm seeing you in person in a long time. And I'm just so, so deeply proud of you. I'm so happy for you. I've had the best month and a half. Let's just say that. And girl, I have been watching you slay as well.

I've been doing a lesser version of slay. No, that's not true. The way you left no crumbs, which is something I'm going to say 50 times today, because that's not true the way you left no crumbs which is something i'm gonna say 50 times today um because that's how tired i am my brain is only functioning at about 30 oh god percent day um but the way you slayed krampus i said that was my sister we can't do that although i didn't really enjoy doing it with um When the horn fell off, was it supposed to fall off? The horn fell off right before I got wheeled out. Damn.

And I was like, well, I'm going to have to figure this out. And it was ultimately extremely funny. Thank you. Will Steven, love him so much. We wrote that together. Louie Zakarian, Emmy-winning legend, who did Gagas prosthetics during the Born This Way era

oh my gosh the face prosthetics remember that era when she had like things coming out of her face she horned I mean she was horned up she was horned up

but I loved that era so much one of the best eras and that was Louis Louis literally made those prosthetics for her has a story about her

learning choreography for like Judas while he was like trying to apply the thing on her face while he was like trying to apply the thing on her face while he was, while she was dancing around and like he, there was no time he had to like put the thing on her face while she was

dancing. I'm like, that is legendary behavior. It really is. And this is sort of indicative of how much we have to catch up on in the culture because here we are sort of spinning off. Yeah. And we really need to get this episode in the can because we have somewhere to

go. We have a performance to do. And we figured that the best way for us to honor the pod, honor the readers, close out the year, and give the Katie's and everyone out there a gift was to list, well, what is exactly what we're doing here? Dear Santa, the top 60 things that everybody wants what is this matt this is a collection of things that are to be achieved in life that are to be desired that are to be um

collectively wanted collectively collected collectively collected everything on this list and you might it's the collective collection it's the collective collection you might raise your eyebrow at the number 60 but we'll just just just you wait just wait just hang in there just hang in there because it's important it'll it'll figure into it very soon um this is what we're sending to santa we are sending this list to santa on behalf of everyone because this list is the collective collection of everything that everybody wants. I think we can all agree that all these 60 things came to our possession. The world would be enriched and beautiful. There literally would be no one left wanting.

There'd be dancing in the street. Absolutely. In New York City. I pray for the day when we all dance in the streets again. I think this is the beginning of that. And can we say, 2023, it's all turning around. Coming up roses. Mm-hmm.

Coming up, Matt. Coming up culturistas. Coming up cults. We can't even say our own damn podcast name. Well, we're like every fucking talk show host. Girl. Should we sort of start gifting the readers? Let's gift the readers.

Oh yeah, Matt has somewhere to be. Matt has to take his pre-show ritualistic shower. If I don't shower before my show, I'll feel filthy on stage. No, he can't have that. And I only want my lyrics to be that. I had someone leave the show last night after Lube for the Slay.

Really? Yeah, there was a straight couple in their 50s or 60s and after loop for the sleigh they uh they made their exit in san francisco yeah it's okay though honey 99.9 of my audiences have stayed throughout my performance and even stood and clapped at the end but that 0.1 percent left after the second song in my show loop for the sleigh are you curious about their story i'm so curious about how they ended up there. I think that they probably said,

oh, we're going to see a lovely Christmas show at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. And they came and there was a sort of gay guy belting songs about lube. You are sort of a gay guy. Definitely. I would say that's one of the chief things I am. Everyone's sort of a gay guy these days.

Even people who aren't gay guys. Everyone's sort of a gay guy these days. Even people who aren't gay guys. Everyone's sort of a gay guy. They want what we have. Say that. Well, these are the top 60 things that everybody wants. And we're sending this to Santa Claus for the Christmas season. And we hope that you all get at least one thing off this list, if not 60. The first gift that we hope to receive is make 60 as important as 50 or 100

and it starts here it starts here so we thought 60 should be as big of a milestone number it's um you know it's the diamond number 60 is diamond there it is the diamond number there are 60 seconds in a minute 60 minutes in an hour there. 60 minutes in an hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour. 60 has sort of been flirting with relevance for a very long time. Well, 60 has always been there and we just can't take 60 for granted, but 60 should be,

60 should be everywhere. 60 was like Laura Dern in the aughts. You know what I mean? Like definitely reliable and around, but then this is the big little lies laura durd moment for 60 we're starting with this list yeah start counting down from 60 no one has ever done it no one's ever counted down from 60 to zero because what would that even be like i guess it would be a minute but that that's only if you literally counted down exactly in second time.

You know what I mean? And I don't think that anyone out there is necessarily smart enough or good enough to be able to say, yes, the way I just counted down from 60 was exactly like clockwork. No. You're going to be a little off. But 60 deserves a place in the 50 and 100 sort of pantheon. And now we have begun that journey i'm so proud the next gift we hope to receive giselle bryant to fucking cool it she's got to calm down all she does is

sit around in her living room her ugly ass jewel tone ass living room and start rumors about people based on nothing pure conjecture she's actually affecting people's lives in an adverse way i'm i'm like in a flow state right now matt just talking about this woman i know you got really dark she is she is clouds have gathered outside she's a hateful person i can't believe her you know i just feel like i'm starting to think that street that she gets this word from might be a fake street there might be no street oh this she's the street the The street is a tunnel in the sewer. She's a mole person.

She's giving mole person. And she needs to cool it. She needs to see the light. She needs to climb up to the light, sweetie. The next gift that we hope to receive... To be complimented on your dancing. So now is the sort of time when we can talk about a recently revealed uh item in the news

current events have been happening as we speak yes you have been cast in the wicked movie yes you'll be playing uh fanny fanny the role of fanny yes who's sort of ariana grande's gay yeah and you tell the story that you told me well the story is basically, I go to rehearsal there. And the biggest thing I'm nervous about is choreography. I have, you know, three dance rehearsals on the schedule for the whole week. And I'm going, oh my God, this is like theater camp. But you're getting, you know, paid to do it. And you have to, like, deliver.

You have to, like, do a good job. And I was like, I don't know if I'm going to be able to do this. And it's the wicked movie. Everyone in the world's going to see it it you don't want to flop dancing as fanny when there's literally a song called dancing through life yeah you better dance and your name is and your character's name is fanny yeah you better be shaking your ass you better give shaking it popping it dropping it locking it and executing it and executing it. And executing it most importantly. And I ended up, from the moment I started dancing,

the whole team, I'm sorry not to be like this, but the whole team, they're incredible people. And I really felt a connection with them. And they were so patient and gracious with me in teaching me what the visual language of this film is

through dance. And I was told at the end of the week by the choreographer. Come on. He says, who's been with Jon M. Chu since the Step Up two days. He looks me in the eye and he goes,

well, all week they're like, Bowen, you're nailing this. Wow. Like, this is amazing. Incredible. Like, whatever. And I was like, you guys are just blowing smoke up my ass, whatever then chris looks into my eyes and says you're a dancer bowen and it was like hagrid

And he said, yeah, well, he was always the best at picking up choreography and popular. He said that? Yeah. And I did have a moment where I was like, okay, well, fuck my drag. No, you're the Kennedy for all time. You're the

dancing diva of Texas. The next gif that we would love to receive. Speaking of Harry, JK Rowling to fucking cool it. And notice I said Rowling and you said Rowling. What is it? Do we care? We don't know this woman anymore.

We don't recognize her anymore. I don't care to know how to pronounce her name. She is on these fucking anti-Semitic message boards now. Unbelievable. Anyway. Cool it. Cool it. In fact, burn it.

Burn it all down. The next gift that we hope to receive. Press tours to be good again. Neiki palmer talk about this there we're in a fallow period with press tours as we all know as we've discussed at length on this podcast they're no longer helpful for the promotion of the film um as we've seen with don't worry darling and many other projects or or or you or it swings so far in the other direction when you have like a gaga who is like making it a full performance art piece which we love but then like but then it diverges at a certain point and people start to like not be in agreement about how they feel about gaga on press uh-huh you know i mean it becomes

i i love it i love it every single moment because i love that woman but i but people don't seem to be in it after a certain point people go okay well i'm over it you know who else can really slay some press yeah jamie lee curtis oh 100 she sticks to her talking points she never seems tired she always seems excited but you can tell afterwards and stephanie shu hinted at this on our podcast she is going home she's going home boundaries queen but to bring up kiki palmer i go the only time i thought it was nice is because she's so charming as kiki palmer talking on the no press tour she does you know she'll do a wired autocomplete interview and it's so fun. She'll go on Seth Meyers. She's luminous.

She is a perfect person. What did you feel about my Have You Heard a Christmas press tour? I thought your press tour was incredible. You actually did an incredible thing. You actually said something different with every interview. I tried. And I was so blown away by that. And I go, Matt knows how to do that.

Matt is doing this better than the other girls. You gave me a gift when you just said that. It's so true, Matt. Thank you, Queen. And the next gift that we hope to receive. Coca-Cola recipe unveiled. We need to know. It's been years. It's time to stop the bullshit

I guess the Coca-Cola war with Pepsi. But Pepsi's already, Pepsi's not- Pepsi's flopped. At this point, Pepsi's not going to just crib the Coca-Colacola recipe look i think that ultimately we can end this discussion right now when it comes to pepsi versus coca-cola people will always describe it as a coke in general you know what i mean it's like mcdonald's and burger king like we love the girl yeah but mcdonald's is just you know she's i hate to say it but you

Finally, a show for the mentally ill girlies. On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health is shaped by the conditions of the world we live in. Because if you haven't noticed, we are experiencing some kind of conditions that are pretty hard to live with. But if you struggle to cope, the society that created the conditions in the first place will tell you there's something wrong with you. And it will call you a basket case.

Yeah, I mean, if Catherine McPhee stops saying these crazy things. Hey, I have an idea. What? This is the first step to world peace we all get a scoop of vanilla we all get a scoop of chocolate we all get a scoop of strawberry and maybe just maybe we got a cure for stupid one of these days but only if we get the renaissance visuals now no at this point i think this list is so accurate but it's also it clarifies so much it says what we all really want and i want us all in the coming year and this is the

thought that i personally i'm going to leave everyone with work towards this goal try to give if you can if you can give something on this list to someone else, do it. Because if I've learned anything on my press tour for Have You Heard of Christmas, which is still streaming on Showtime. And will always stream on Showtime. And will always stream on Showtime. It's that Christmas is a time of giving. And it's taken me this long and this much press to realize that that's what Christmas is.

But guess what has to happen for giving to happen giving yeah you have to give in order to give you have to give in order to give and that is a rule of culture number one you have to give in order to give readers katie's publicists the project for 2023 on lost culture is world world peace. We will attain it. I think we'll have world peace by 2020. But only if you give. I think there will be at least one moment of world peace next year.

A show about the ways that mental illness is shaped by not just biology. Swaps of different meds.

But by culture and society. By looking closely at the conditions that cause mental distress, I find out why so many of us are struggling to feel sane, what we can do about it, and why we should care.
