rachel when did you feel most close to me um oh god is it i'm actually really thinking i'm like when did i feel most close to you i will i want to i know when it was I want to interject and I want to answer a question that I will pose myself, which is the opposite of what Matt just asked. And the question is. When have I felt furthest from you? Yes. When have Rachel and I felt furthest from each other? But this was the beginning.

This was. I was roommates with David Sidorov. Oh, yes. Her now husband. My husband. And esposo. Esposo. And Rachel was spending a lot of nights in Stuy Town with us

and God bless Rachel because our house was a fucking dumpster. It was me, David Zeterov, and former guest Billy Domino and it was a fucking nightmare. Filthy people. Filthy, filthy people and like roaches. Oh my God, I can't even get into it. Yeah, that Stuy Town apartment was bad.

It was bad. It was bad. I think they knocked it down. They knocked it down because of how- Well, they kept the rest of the building, but they knocked down your unit. Yeah, it's now just a- They burnt it out. They burnt it out. And now it's just a portal into a hole in the fabric of space time.

But Rachel, one day, I mean, pretty regularly would clean up for us and clean up after us. Well, to be fair, i was living there for free for like a month that's true but like we did not know each other and i felt bad i was like oh no david's girlfriend is cleaning i was like i'll clean the pee off the seats in exchange for living here sure but you had your own dorm you had your own place i was between i had graduated right oh and i had moved out of my east village palace that's right and needed to find my own apartment but my roommates weren't able to move into a new place until october so i was homeless for two months you needed to find something for the interim it was the saddest i've ever been in my whole life really i like to get perfectly real on

this podcast come on let's get real honey that's a requirement no like graduating graduating from school and then like suddenly not having a place to live and not having a job and being like a newly minted real person was that that was like the saddest i felt in my whole life yeah it was so depressing i would agree i felt that way i luckily had a show i was doing that summer so i could kind of stretch out the feeling of the feeling bad i was in that reality show yes which is the nyu um like welcome to nyu show that some of the older kids put on so i was doing that over the summer so it didn't feel like i just got dropped on my ass and i was still staying in the dorms yeah yeah i got to end on a literal high note.

Yeah. Because they were singing in the show. Wait. I'm so sorry. Do you guys hear that? I hear something. I'm sorry. Hold on.

We have to stop everything. And I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. Hold on. There's something. I think it's under my glass. Okay. Just pick it up.

Now I'm going to. Pick it up really slowly though, Max. I'm a little like. But someone. But can you guys not freak out? Because we don't know what's under there. Okay. I don't. I can't promise that. But yeah. Okay. I'm going to pick it up really slowly, though, Max. I'm a little like, but someone. But can you guys not freak out? Because we don't know what's under there. I don't. I can't promise that.

Yeah. OK. I'm going to pick it up. Just be really careful. Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh. Guys, welcome to the stupidest, but my favorite bit. We did it in game show the other night.

Did you hear about this? I can't believe I wasn't there. This is my favorite bit ever. It's called Gru. And Gru is always hiding in something. Well, it's based if I'm wrong, but it's based on Gru from Minions, right? No, it's not. It's Gru from

Minions. It's always Gru. No. No. Bowen and I have been calling each other Gru. G-R-L-O-O, for at least 75 years. Yes. But I guess what I'm saying is, like, even though you guys have been calling each other that, like, without realizing it, you were calling each other Group of Minions. But the name Gru, first of all, in that movie doesn't make any fucking sense. Why?

That's his name. Everyone else has some clever, like, supervillain name, like, Doctor of Mischievous, like, whatever. I don't follow that franchise. But why is his name Gru? Like, it makes no sense. Because he's an evil supervillain. It's pronounced differently. Now, everyone, stop.

Gru, from Despicable Me, is spelled G-R-U, and Gru, which is our Gru, is spelled G-R-L-O-O. And if you're saying it like gru and not saying gru, you're not doing it right. It's gru. And so the bitch. Rule number 117 of culture. It's gru.

Gru. Gru. And it's always that same pitch. What is that? Can we get a pitch app? I'm going to download one. Download a pitch app. And let me tell you where the beginning of Gru comes from. Okay, please educate me.

It's from in Mad TV when Deborah Wilson is playing Whitney Houston. Yes. And she's like trying to find her own. And she goes, she just sings that note a bunch of times. And I thought it was truly the funniest thing that she'd just be talking like,

where I can't hear myself. Where am I? No, she wouldn't say, she wouldn't add the, she wouldn't, she wouldn't, but I,

because Bowen was, became grew to me of course and so then we start calling each other grew and we start to begin to sing you became sometimes grew yes when you begin to sing yes and so then you put a musical nature on what you're saying it heightens the emotion yes music is heightened speaking oh my god yes these apps cost money i'm no i, I just, damn it. I just spent a dollar on this and it has one star. Fuck.

Okay. I just canceled it. Imagine having perfect pitch. We wouldn't even have to do this. I know. We'd be like C sharp. You know what? Okay.

This is, this is, how do you know that's a, I just, I might have, I am not going to say I have perfect pitch, but I was around our metronome, our digital metronome as a child so, so much. A metronome keeps time, Bowen. No, but there's a digital one where you, for violins, for string instruments. Oh, like a pitch. A pitch where it's just the default pitch is A. So someone hit the groove pitch. Like a tuner.

I'm going to say it's C flat. But the best thing is when you change it. Okay. And you do this. For a while, groove was really high. And then it was too high. We have to. Sometimes you have to take it down.

Because I remember there was a day where it was really high and then it was too high we have to sometimes you have to take it down because i remember there was a day where it was really high and we were doing it and then we were all like it's honestly it's gotten too high but remarkably we keep it on the same pitch it typically is wait oh my god i'm sorry it's muscle memory something something is something's on my phone my phone's buzzing i think i think you should just pick it up and see who it is and this is what i'm always telling him. If it's a big, if it's like an important thing, like you should know. Could be Hollywood or it could be. Okay. Answer it.

But the thing is it buzzed, but my screen didn't light up and it's not on do not disturb. So that's really fair. I'm just going to, I'm just going to press home. Just open it. Okay. See, that was a different pitch now. That was a little higher. It was the same.

No. First it was. And then it now. That was a little higher. No, it was the same. No, first it was grrrr, and then it was grrrr. It grew. It went up half a step. It changed. It grew the pitch. I think it's because our emotions have been changing. Oh, wow.

I think it's like a mood ring. Yeah. Guys, if you're not completely alienated by this stupid conversation so far. I'm angry. Why? I wish I had been able to take music theory in high school. They had AP music theory that was able to be taken, but my school just didn't offer it.

And I would love to sit here and be able to identify the notes. And you know what? I think that it's a true thing that I could have really musically persevered but at a young age I was I was not given that opportunity this is the interesting thing about Matt is Matt did not grow up with you know a pedagogical um you know uh education theatrical education but you just had the natural talent you had the gift you had the gift but you don't have the theory the mechanics to pin that down it's like whenever i work with someone and they say can you read music and i have to shamefully say no you

don't read music at all no wow you know i do you yeah well i grew up playing but here's the thing i grew up playing the piano i played the cello oh that's right bitch i saw it in your childhood bedroom in my childhood bedroom i played the cello but the thing is like i think about this a lot sometimes i feel like the the like actors and performers who picked it up later are more interesting because they were living like other lives whereas like if you grew up doing musical theater and stuff like sometimes i get overwhelmed with culture honestly because i'm like my background is literally listening to wicked for like 40 hours a day and like not knowing what popular music was there you go same like i i just learned who robbie williams was a few months ago you

didn't know robbie no and i feel like this is such a bad spot so let's get into this with rachel because this is the question we ask all of our guests and i'm so excited to get into this with rachel because i feel like I know Rachel very well but I might learn something new. But do you know people just surprise you and this is something about people is that they surprise you. That's rule number 60. 60-20.

Rule number 60-20 of culture. People will surprise you. Now Rachel we're going to ask you the same question. What were the cultural pieces, the elements that made you say culture is for me? I want to step in a cultural direction. You know, it's as if the culture was the rain. This would be the moment where the rain condensated.

That's not what rain does. And then precipitated. Well, rain is. Okay, there you go. I'm talking about first you have, of course, the ejaculation, which is when the water comes from the ground to the sky. The ejaculation is the water... The ejaculation is the water comes from the penis.

Yes. Goes up into space. Yeah. Ejaculation, condensation, precipitation. Yes. Runoff. Yeah. Yeah, runoff is a pre-cum.

Rinse, repeat. And then it's shampoo. But the pre-cum is a state jump. It's like, what's it called? You know, it's not very common. Right. Right. My question is, when did culture start coming on you?

Oh, my God. I'll never forget when I first got came on. Come on. By culture. Okay. I really thought a lot about this thank god um because there can be more than one answer billy domino who was like the goal for well that's him i was like that is really the ultimate answer um i guess i became interested in culture it was the 2016 election um that was it for me that was it um okay i think that and that's when you first started singing that's when i started singing was after the 2016 election i was like everything has changed and then i was like everything has changed and i was

like oh wow i'm a singer now yeah um okay Okay. I think that, okay, I think that for me, my introduction to culture was musical theater. Yeah. 60s rock. Yeah, wow. And Monty Python was like, I'm disgusted because. It's crazy that Bowen has tried to eat his McDonald's off the mic and somehow you can still hear him chewing.

Bowen is straight up masticating a full chicken nugget. Can I say though that was the first chicken nugget I've had in a long time and it was better than I remember chicken nuggets being. Did they like change the recipe? It's still pink paste. Shouldn't have had it because now they got you back. I know.

It felt like crispier. It's crispier. The batter is better. Let me tell you something. I'm a full whore for McDonald's. I will give my whole body to them. Your whole. They have me.

And you know what? It's okay. That's okay. I'm like a proud hooker. Okay. For them. I remember going. I'm like, you know what?

Call me Passion because that's my hooker name when I walk into McDonald's. We went to a McDonald's. Yes, we did. Very wasted. Mm-hmm. And got McFlurries? Yeah. When was that?

Where was this? It was. Were we traveling? No, it was in New York. Because now I don't remember the circumstances but it was funny okay here's what i'm having a memory of is it was really late and we were in time square you know what i'll tell you when it was we were so so fucked up at the story pirates benefit after party oh no yes this is what it was. Are we allowed to say that? Yeah, we are. It was the after party.

Adults drink. Adults only. We had done the benefit. We imbibed. We imbibed. Yes, you're right. We were imbibed and then we went. We very embarrassingly exited a party. Yes.

You flipped the deuce? It was the situation where you don't know how to say goodbye. Oh, no. So what we did is me and Rachel just stood there and I just, everyone was looking at us in the room and I just. Threw up. Threw up the deuce. Threw up the deuce.

Like it was 11th grade. Like I was Richard Nixon. And we backed out of there. We backed out. It was. And then. We went to McDonald's. And we went to McDonald's.

And it took forever. Yeah. For some reason. And then you laid down on the counter which i remember because i took a picture oh my god that's vile and he can i say i feel so at home there your passion yeah well you walked in and everyone was like ah maddie welcome home imagine oh my god okay i'm so sorry i mean that was so rude of me you picked my big moment to just no oh my god okay so chomp chomp down on a chicken nugget but it's okay um theater okay musical theater 60s rock like joni mitchell krazyslaw national young

okay let her let her finish and that was me like nine years old um like this song's about an abortion or like this song's about her like her baby that she had to give up yeah um and then uh i think as i got older like sci-fi yes and like you're a you're a fantasy queen i'm a fantasy queen and i didn't know it until i was older yeah but i feel like that changed for me too. What favorite franchise? What pieces? Like, oh God, my favorite piece is probably Doctor Who and D-Minor. Like I love Doctor Who so much and I didn't know until like two years ago.

I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I don't think I'm like high fantasy. You are. Trash fantasy. I'm like trash fantasy. No, those aren't trash fantasy. Pop fantasy? Pop fantasy. Sure, let's call it that. I love the things that are like I don't want to like undermine how much I love

fantasy, but like I like the things that are like safe to like. That are like written, that are meant for mass consumption. I like love Harry Potter, but like i like the things that are like safe to like like written they're meant for for like mass consumption i like love harry potter but like i couldn't get through lord of the rings because i was like there are too many names too many names i just realized why i haven't seen you lately because you've been too busy with your scandal your brand has been scandal my brand has been scandal okay but that is so i guess guess for me. You gag for it. Scandal is a form of. Culture has become like, I just fucking love television. Yeah, that's great. And I watch it so much.

Well, this is the beautiful thing about culture in general, but I think Rachel really embraces this, is that you can have these cultural phases where you redefine your parameters for culture. And for Rachel, it's watching Shonda. Now, is it specifically Scandal or is it Shonda Land? Have you crossed over? It became land it became i did cross over it i didn't know the magic of scandal until or the magic of shonda until a few months ago i watched i watched all six seasons of scandal that were on netflix in

like two months oh my god like it was constant fully like immersed herself in that word in that world i did and then it was over and like the current season was on and i started watching the current season which was fun because then i became a part of like the the like shonda community that twitter's is the twitter twitter's crazy for scandal yes and then i was like i need more and then i watched all of how to get away with all. All of it? There's only two seasons right? Three seasons. Okay okay okay. And I watched it not knowing that the fourth season hadn't been announced and then

when it was done like even though I had literally just finished it like the day before I immediately became like one of the fans that's like when? When will they tell us? Do you like it? Do you actually like How to Get Away with Murder? I think it's amazing really okay why why well i think that viola davis is a better actress than like that show deserves like that i

think the show is really great but like she is phenomenal unreal so good yep so good always and she's like giving the like she's truly giving like 200 and the show is like always giving 90%, which I like love. 90 is pretty great though. Yeah. Well the show's like really intense. It's, and I think that,

did you guys watch Scandal? I watched Scandal like all the way through the first five seasons. That's probably for the best. I mean, it's like, I can't believe that Mellie Grant is president. It's fucked. I will say that.

It's insane to me that not one. Well, this is a spoiler. Are you guys planning on watching? No, I did. It's fits. It's fits.

I am going to house of cards. I'm talking about, I've never seen house of cards. Okay. You know what? I'm just going to go ahead and say, spoiler alert. Are you okay?

Producer Joe? Oh, it's the end of the season. So I'm just going to say, I will not spoil it. i will not spoil it i will not spoil it i will just say they need to get more imaginative about about the ways that they go i think there's nothing wrong with introducing a new character that's a compelling new political figure but it seems like the way that these shows i don't know that's the problem

with political shows is it's like you know every four or eight years the people have to change change yes and this unwillingness to be realistic about that is like show killing for me i know and that's what happened with scandal where they were like well we need to find a way to keep these people like in or near the white house and it just got so convoluted and then you remember that like this is a show where a president choked out a supreme court justice and killed her and then you're like she fucking deserved it though she well i actually fully understood why he did what he did this is like old scandal tea now yeah but yeah fucking fits everyone on that show has killed someone and then there's like a part where Olivia Washington starts like laughing hysterically, like laugh

crying. I think I think it's her character. And then she's like, Olivia Washington, Olivia Washington, Kerry Washington, Olivia Pope. She starts laugh crying and she's like, everyone has killed someone. Yeah, I remember this. You're like, yeah, bitch, you get it. Has she killed? Yeah.

Oh, you need to watch the current season. Oh god oh wow she murders somebody just you have to watch now i just don't know if i will because it's so far off the ground like the fact that melia is president i heard what happened to portia de rossi though crazy insane she gets beat to death oh no with a golf club with a golf club come on shand but like, here's the thing. That season was bad. But what the show did and that it was like so obvious but kind of great was like in at the end of the season, they slowly like killed off or got rid of all of the extraneous characters that they had written in and got everybody back on the same side, like ready to fight

together against like one evil. And as like, if you're like a fan of the show and you just like want it to succeed and you're not just looking for like insane drama, you're like, oh good, we're like back to basics. I think that was smart. I think it's smart for a show like Scandal, which started heightened.

When it's House of Cards, which I think is, to be honest with you, I was a real fan of House of Cards for a long time. I think House of Cards, which I think is, to be honest with you, I was a real fan of House of Cards for a long time. I think House of Cards is cartoon garbage now. I think it's fully bad. That show literally just gets rid of anyone that's going to like, and it's such a cop out.

To like fuck up the plot. Everyone that could fuck it up for them is fucking dead. It's crazy to me. I'm like, and then I read an interview with like the new creators because they switched showrunners. Right. And they were like,

don't you think this is a problem? And they're like, yeah, we did think about that. And that was like really the only answer that they gave. Do you think it's worth starting, like if I have never seen a single episode?

I think that the first three seasons, first four seasons are really good. I think some seasons are better than others. I think the first season's great. The second season I loved because it was when they first stepped into this heightened direction they were going in. Didn't start heightened though and that was the problem.

It certainly did not. And I would say, you know how you know the show is really different and you know how you know it has new creators, I think, or new showrunners? She is talking a lot more. like they always robin yeah they are trusted they always used to trust her character to be strong and silent and say a lot without saying anything and they she was always very mysterious whereas now she ain't mysterious at all she won't shut up she's doing monologues no no no she is really i think the lead of the show at some point and also like fully like i mean i love the question of are they evil or are they not like i i loved that with him you got it with her you kind of did it now it's just

like no she's they're evil they're both so evil neither of us watch this yeah no i've never seen it oh okay i weirdly was like it's what it's david and i have very different does david like it okay so this is literally why i haven't watched it is because david watched like a couple episodes i think of the first season like years ago when it first came out and was like not for me and i was like for some reason was just like well then it's not for me either and just never watched it i think you would like i've never done that with a show before where i just like took someone else's word and never watched it but i do that all the time see i do that all the time yeah i i mean it's

literally made to binge like i think i think you would like to show up really a lot i just think you get to a certain point where you'd be like i love political drama it's it's so weird to watch that shit now, though. It is. I know. Well, and that's why Scandal got so weird, too, because they had a Trump character, and it felt a little bit too, like, that law and order rip from the headlines thing

just doesn't feel good when it's not a procedural. Well, it's impossible now for political dramas because either you completely, there's this revisionist thing where Trump never happened and everything's normal. Right, there's like, it's impossible now for political dramas because either you completely, there's this revisionist thing where Trump never happened and everything's normal or you, or you rip it from the headlines and it just feels wrong. I know I've been watching or feels behind at least. Yeah.

And it's so weird because like the conversations on the West wing, like feel like so idealistic and so earnest and so different from like what's happening now but they also feel so similar like because i'm in the season where he runs for re-election and they feel so similar to what's happening now that i'm like oh like it feels like we're in a crazy time but also like nothing has changed and like all these things are cyclical and tv like keeps repeating itself interesting i think that the rise of like these kind of Washington thrillers and even comedies, I think all of it is a little bit to blame for this. Because we like drama and twists.

Well, before you, let me just say, I just think we've gotten so used to like i think people didn't even realize any of this shit was even possible and i you have to think about this like a lot of people watch scandal a lot and when they hear about conspiracies and when they hear about stealing elections and the word rigged and like this and this and this it gets into their mind so then when it's brought up in a public way about what's going on in real life they don't say no way they say well you know it can happen she rigged it yeah it's i don't think people thought this was possible interesting and maybe i'm really talking

about everyone in america like they're a lot dumber than they really are but i definitely think popularization of like washington uh backstabbing and sp like kind of kind of like washington bullshit popularization of that had something to do with everyone buying into fake news and like everything like that's true i mean people like people like a good story yeah also and like they i think that trump like went out and told a good story. He was like, people are evil and they're trying to get into our country. And like, he like was spinning a tail. He's really,

I like to refer to him as the show runner of the United States. Absolutely. He's a tear. I hate his show. Yeah. I hate it. I fucking hate it. I hope it lasts less than one season.

Yeah, me too. I hope it gets canceled. Well, as far as like the rig, as far as like the rig as far as like the conspiracy stuff goes i don't necessarily think it's like you like the locus the origin is these shows i think it's just like glenn beck gave rise to like alex jones gave and and then trump is

in june of last year starts calling the election rigged. Like that's the path for me. But like maybe I mean, maybe you're right. But like if that's true, then Shonda's to blame. I'm not saying she's to blame. All I'm saying is it became fun. This kind of thing became fun and then it became real. I mean, we're all really surprised. The drama is fun.

Yeah. Right. Or even like the incompetency on Veep is fun. It's funny. And it's like, no, it's like actually. But now it's like, oh, we really do have an incompetent administration. The point is. Oh, my God.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian.

Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.

Like the first lady was not going to be a thing. And then she just kept kind of like killing it in the back. Wait, and how were they going to do that? They were going to like get rid of her character? No, she was just going to be, the first lady was just not going to be a thing. Oh, not like, okay. It was going to be like. But how though?

Because Olivia's sleeping with the president. Yeah, she wasn't going to be like loyal to Olivia? That's crazy. It just wasn't supposed to be as big of a thing as it is.

Only men go to the doctor to be like, I'm sick. Interesting. Interesting. Okay. I'm going to say that right here. Only men go to doctors. Rule number. That's crazy. I feel like that's the opposite. Rule number 15.

Only men go to the doctors. But I don't agree with that. I think, I think that only men go to doctors with like a cold. Interesting. More straight men I know are like, no, I'm not going to the doctor.

I'm going to tough it out. Oh my God. David always goes to the doctor. Well, that's David. Women be like. He also gets sinus infections. So, you know, that's. He still gets sinus infections as bad as he always did.

He still. David's a little. I love him. He's a little boy. OK, so you're. OK, so we I went to the doctor and I never do this. And I was like, I'm sick and I have to get better. And because I was like, we're I was like working on Monday and and i was like i have to be better for this job or whatever and i got like a

z-pack and it turns out i'm they said it's not an allergy but that i had a quote adverse effect and so what happened was i took my z-pack and then i which is an antibiotic and then i had this important meeting oh like it was literally like i was meeting with an agent with an agency wow and i almost i i got up to midtown and then i was like suddenly felt the most sick i've ever felt in my life and was like i sat down on a bench in midtown and i called my mom and i was like i don't know what to do i don't know how i'm gonna get a home like i felt literally like i couldn't get myself to my apartment oh my god but i went into this meeting and i fucking like didn't speak like stood as still as possible oh wait i forgot about the first part of my day so so so on my way

into this meeting i stop at a part of my mange and i go into the bathroom and i barf horribly and then i go to this meeting and i sit as still as possible and i don't talk and i just get i just like nod and i say yes and i look all around the room and i make sure i know where all the trash cans are for when i barf and then they show me out of their like fancy office and then i'm like could you show me where the bathroom is and they're like it's right down the hall i'm like great thanks for reading and then i go to the bathroom and it wasn't barf. You pooped. It was like.

You pooped to God. I pooped to God. I destroyed the bathroom. Oh, my God. Like, I think they probably knocked it down. Like, they did your apartment in Stuy Town. Right. But then it turned out that that building was a Pret-a-Manger.

Well, OK. So then after my horrible liquid shit. Oh. Oh, God. Yeah. I go, I take the elevator down like 110 floors or whatever. And then I got out and I walk out. I'm like, I guess I'm feeling a little bit better.

And I walk out of the building and then immediately start to feel sick again. And I, I have no idea, but I look and what is right next to their building but a different prada mange of course and so i run into that prada mange and i throw up again thank god not all of them have bathrooms thank god these both had honestly if this one had had a bathroom i still would have barfed in it love it is it that you can't take a z-pack i i i can't ever i'm allergic to it i guess you've learned this now this is okay and i was talking to a co-worker about this who was telling me how she and this is tragic she threw up in her lift because not because she was drunk because she got food poisoning and it just she did not see it coming it just happened and i feel so bad

and she had to pay the cleaning and she had to pay so much 150 dollars i threw up in a cab once horrible horrible horrible i've never thrown up. But here's the thing, guys. These stories about either shitting your pants, shitting in public, throwing up in public, like these are these, these reveal who you are. It's like Michelle Obama says the presidency reveals who you are. Pants shitting and vomiting stories in public reveal who you are and you're most vulnerable. It's so true.

I'm not kidding. I sharted today. I'm not kidding. i'm not kidding where i'm not kidding we have to take a break you work on all forever ductress hey that literally that was as incoherent as the cake farts woman that was like let us see how we do it all right let's get this done um you're working at reductress i'm doing editing i edit articles i write articles she's an editrix you perform bitch i perform articles uh yeah that's why i work um how you liking how you liking i love her noctress okay here's the thing they provide a good service they provide a beautiful service to women across the globe this is this is the antithesis i feel like mouth time is sometimes um like antithetical to what we do at lost culture lost culture is because they write they write it it's great and then like people come on with

character bits and it's fantastic we just fucking run our mouth here with no structure don't shit talk us. Somehow. I like what we do fucking better. Somehow it works. Fuck them. Okay. They can write down all the shit that they want. I'm gonna run my goddamn mouth and do just as well.

Rachel, would you rather. I mean, there's places. Not about would you rather. There's room for spontaneity, of course, in mouth time. No. You would. No. Yes. There is room for spontaneity response the thing about women is they write

they think too much oh they write shit down they think too much oh my god i'm a man of some the way i do it i sit down i just start talking oh my god i just start talking i feel sick to my stomach watching you do this character the people come ew the people come hot producer Joe loves it I'm disgusted so Rachel plays Rachel voices Dakota yes Math Time is the Redoctors podcast official

sponsored yes and so tell us a little about Dakota where would she shart where would she throw up in new york uh okay well dakota lives in times square that's right she lives in times where there are certain things about so so yeah mouth time is like half scripted and i'm the third host to have come on to have like come into this world it was Anna Dresden and Nicole Silverberg who started it

who are brilliant and then they're fine and then Anna went off to write for Saturday Night Live and then I came in to co-host with Nicole

to co-host with Nicole and and then Nicole left to write for a TV show and then Bowen came in and co-hosted for a bit for one but then I was like

you know what it's a women's it was fun it's for women it's for then Bowen came in and co-hosted for a bit. For one. But then I was like, you know what? This is, it's a women's. It was fun. It's for women. No. For women. No. I mean, well, in a way I was like, I'm not going to take this spot over like one of the

millions of other like great, great, great like comedy women out there. So then now you guys. There are millions of us. There are millions. No, you were so great. But yeah, it is funny how like it definitely, it's, it's parodying the, like, Cosmopolitan podcast. But then there are people in your reviews who just don't get that it's a parody. We have a lot of, it's so weird.

Because, like, on the show, I do a character that, like, talks like this. Yeah. And she's, like, it's actually gotten a little better over time. But, like, in the beginning, she had, like, a lot of vocal fry. And was, like, very, actually gotten a little better over time. But like in the beginning, she had like a lot of vocal fry. I was like very like, welcome to the panel. And like people left us so many iTunes reviews when I started that was like, that were like, I can't, the vocal fry, I wanted to kill myself. And they didn't get that it was satire.

And I was also like, you hate listening to women. That's what it is. I was going to say that that is the root of all of this. That's the kernel. Also, our like, our ads are of this that's the kernel also our like our ads are being run or like the ads for our podcast were being run during like a podcast that was like a most perfect murder like something that just like it was not there was no crossover between the fan bases and right they were so frustrated was this was this um now you guys are under feral

but then before you guys were with another network. Yes. Was this... This was with Pharrell, though. We've been with Pharrell pretty much since I started. I mean, they're amazing. It was just like... And we changed our advertisements a little bit

to make it more clear that it was a joke. But yeah, people don't like listening to women. We've made it a thing, though, now. Right, okay. We did a really, really fun episode when we were in L. we did live with paul f tompkins and who was so amazing and i keep calling him i keep accidentally calling him paul thomas anderson who i love um but we like made a point we like took a break and we like talked to the audience and we were like we're like you guys should definitely like don't forget rate and subscribe and don't forget to talk about how much

you love our podcast, how much you love our voices and how good our voices are and how goey sound and how nice this is to listen to. And we like suddenly got a slew of reviews that were like, I love mouth time, especially their voice. They did that for us at culture. We just asked them to write reviews and they were like,

I'm writing a review because they told me to. yeah fans are so fun but yeah the the mouth time podcast is really fun it's like half scripted right it's half scripted i'm sorry but i feel like that's a that's a little bit of a challenge wait when you say like it's changed does that mean you've laid off the voice uh i've laid off the voice a little bit to make it like a little bit more palatable. And also like I think it's like funnier. I think it's funnier if the vocal fry is like at specific. Yes. Okay, sure.

But that's so I mean, as like a punctuation. I get that. And like you're doing that like because it's like it does make it more palatable. But I mean, God, that's so shitty that people are just like, these women sound stupid. Yeah, they're like these baby women because like Nicole and I both do voices that are kind of like, oh, like we're like dumb idiots.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the premise of the whole show is that we're like dumb idiots. Dumb idiots, 100%. But I love being a dumb idiot. So like I would never pull back on that. The funnest, the funnest. The absolute funnest.

Being a dumb idiot is the funnest. And our brand is, of course, smart. Genius. Genius culture. Genius. Culturistas. Culturista. Yeah.

Culturist. Sometimes I'm intimidated by your culturista knowledge. See, but then you have to know, like, there's some things that i have literally no barometer for like for example with i just started watching the bachelorette today never seen an episode i haven't seen either but i'm pretty gagged for it and i'm a little i'm a little bit like like i came like henry came home today and i was watching and he's like are you watching this and i'm like yeah and can i tell you something i'm getting my life i'm actually getting my life in a real way i did i watched the first episode of this season of the bachelor and it was the first episode i've ever watched and i was like oh i get it i watched i watched it with anna dresden and when the dog

came out we both cheered copper we both cheered for so long that it was like it became uncomfortable it's the cutest fucking dog it's so cute and i didn't know it was like we're we both kind of had this moment of like if we knew there were dogs on this show we would have started watching it years ago the dog has a cast the dog has a cast i hope the dogs had the cast for a while to me it's like you have to explain why the dog was the cast because they've never said anything like when she revealed to the one guy that she was bringing the dog on the date he was like why does it have a cast and she goes we'll get to that later let's get on the plane i was like no i have this question too what happened to the dog but she said it like a segue like i guess there's maybe more to tell about that when we get in the

plane and i was like no and then you get on the plane and she doesn't say a word about why the dog is injuring her dog I just like really wanted to know like what's wrong with the dog that looks like it has carpal tunnel her dog is her assistant canine carpal tunnel and got carpal tunnel

from like emails her dog's been holding a lot of venti do you guys watch reality TV though because I don't watch any RuPaul's Drag Race oh you

yeah I love Drag Race how can you say no well besides Drag Race and like The Bachelorette is like this the number one show that we watch is a reality television show so yes we watch reality we definitely don't count it as one because we count it as something else i think but i wouldn't say watch reality tv because even me like venturing into the bachelorette territory now is very new

for me it's been a long time coming i think you watch reality tv and you need to admit it to yourself love it i think you love it and you're obsessed with it. RuPaul. Also, Drag Race feels. Garbage. Vonk. Vonk. Drag Race feels to me like the only reality show I've ever gotten into was Dance Moms.

Uh-huh. And a show Tanked, which we can talk about later. But the thing about Dance Moms is that everyone has a skill. Right. It was fun to watch because even though it was about the moms, all the kids had this. They were dance moms is that everyone has a skill like it was fun to watch because all even though it was about the moms all the kids had these they were so talented they all had a skill and i feel like drag race is the same thing we're like watching a show where everyone is really talented at something is different than watching a show where like

everyone's put into a house and like yes drama happens because someone else tells them that there's drama happening right exactly like everyone on drag race is so talented in their own right and like they're all i don't know competition shows like that i like competition having watched unreal oh my god i do watch the kind of you've seen unreal the first season yeah the first season so you yeah 100 so like having watched that though and then watching this drama just like unfold it does change it for me because it's like you know what happened is they got these people so fucking drunk yes and like because you can look you know what happened is they got these people so fucking drunk yes and like because you can look in their eyes and also they're always sweating so yes they're

shiny something i've noticed a lot is like they don't even try to blot these people like they're just sweating sweating sweating because they truly have to catch them saying things in the moment because that's something about the bachelor which i will say is different is like they really are like shooting that on the spot like as it's happened like you can tell there's like six cameras at a time like all trying to get different shots or whatever it's really like they're trying to create authentic drama based on manipulation at all times so they're not really concerned about how people look on camera because they look drunk yeah and they look bad a lot of them look like a lot in the confessionals they'll be half as fucking sleep their eyelids are like halfway down like this guy lee who we're

finding out is like a racist tweeter oh yeah he's always the country singer the other guy who came out and was singing country he always looks so tanked on the show and i'm like you're trying to get this person to embarrass himself yeah oh it sucks he is so crazy it's crazy i mean the thing is though like you have to admit like we love rupaul's drag race even rupaul admits he's he's on record as saying we produced the fuck out of that show oh yeah yeah i'm sure yeah the best so the best reality show is tanked what is it about okay tanked is on oh god is it about scuba divers is it about people who clean fish tanks okay it's about people who wear tank tops it's about tank tops it's i want to say it's on animal planet but maybe discovery channel it's like on a network that it shouldn't be on. But it's about these luxury fish tank designers.

Oh, I was almost there. Las Vegas. OK, I'm on board. And they are like, according to the show, they're like the guys that when like the magic castle in L.A. is like, we want a fish tank and we want like Harry Houdini upside down, like submerged in our, in this fish tank. And like,

we want you to design it. Like these are the guys that do it and they're really talented and the fish tanks are really amazing, but it's the best show because the drama is so contrived and so stupid. And it's, the drama is always like, it's always like, I don't know how we're going to get this fish tank through this door.

I love that. I would watch that. Yeah. It's so good. And in the moment, that shit is tense. Yes. You're like, how are they going to get it through the door? You're like, it's a fucking like 40 foot glass tank.

It's made of glass. It has a fucking shark in it. Like, how are they going to get it? I love when people take shit seriously that no one else does. Yes. it's made of glass it has a fucking shark in it like how are they gonna get it i love when people take shit seriously that no one else does yeah like to me that's so funny they could sit down and like in a circle like and it's like a reunion special and they really come for each other based on like fish tank design yeah that to me is the funniest thing i've ever heard in my life they're like this is what the client wants but if we put this much

water in it the whole thing's going to blow. And it's so dramatic. Is Little Chocolatiers literally about little people who are chocolatiers? I have never heard of this show, but I fucking hope so. Is that what it is?

Because I think that's what it is. Okay. And that is so specific. Little Chocolatiers. Have you guys heard of this show, this movie Tiptoes? No. Okay, wow. Okay, you've heard of this. this movie tiptoes no okay wow okay you've heard of this okay hot producer joe has heard of it don't call him hot you're married he has you're

right girlfriend what are you doing you're so i'm so embarrassed monster i'm so embarrassed if i was a gay man i could objectify anyone that's absolutely right we've earned it we've earned it and this is pride month and don't make a fucking joke no you're right as a straight woman i need to just shut the fuck up you do um okay so thank god someone said it someone said pride month is the month that women have to shut pride i have to hold my tongue on facebook all the time honestly okay don't sometimes i do want to comment on people's Facebook statuses. Like,

have you considered just shutting up? Just shutting the fuck up. It's an, that's an option. Um, okay. We, I don't want to dwell on this cause it's boring,

but, um, Beth Newell, one of the founders, editor of reductress today was like, there was this movie in 2003 that never got released because it was so insane and it's where gary it's matthew mcconaughey and gary oldman plays a little person gary oldman yes yes and we watched this trailer from 2003 that never got released and it is the fucking

craziest thing i've ever seen it's like a guest who's coming to dinner, except the whole premise is that Matthew McConaughey is dating Kate Beckinsale. And she doesn't know that his brother is a little person. Oh, my God. When she meets him, it's like, why didn't you tell me? And then it's like this crazy movie i guess where like it's like meet it's like meet the parents except they're all little people and so it's like can you believe it and like the mom matthew mcconaughey's mom like in the trailer sees uh matthew mcconaughey's dad for the first

time he's a little person and like her her face falls like like he's hitler oh and then at the end the song that plays is why can't i breathe whenever i think about you why can't i sleep whenever i talk about you 2003 we said why can't i sleep whenever i talk about you i feel like maybe those are the lyrics why can't i speak i literally said the same thing as you. So it goes to show that either she's not pronouncing it correctly or we're right. It's one of those two. Liz Phair. I'm going to go ahead and name Liz Phair.

Because it's Pride Month. Because it's Pride Month and we can't be wrong. We can't be wrong. And Liz Phair is not an ally. Nope. Guys, okay. We may have said some general shit about allyship. Guys, allyship is whatever you want it to be, baby.

That's what I think. Oh, God, I'm so sick. All I know is that I'm not a fucking ally. I'm not a fucking ally, but I am an ally to Midtown's most wretched whore, Rachel Linitsky. When will we see the birth of Midtown the musical? Because you keep fucking talking about it.

And now I'm just like, shit or get off the pot. The three of us, we're supposed to all write this together. I know. The thing, we need to get in a room and write Midtown the Musical.

I bet we could write it in 20 minutes. We need to rent one of those rooms. No, no, no. What is those rooms? A retreat? No, one of those. Oh, a breather? A breather.

A breather. We need to get a breather. We need to get a breather. And we need to write Midtown the Musical. I thought about getting a breather for myself the other day.her And we need to write Midtown The Middle I thought about getting A breather for myself The other day And then I was like

Oh I'm literally poor They're so expensive too They're so expensive They're like $40 For real though We had this moment Yesterday in rehearsal Matt David was talking about

Seeing JLo in Vegas And so then I was just like Wait a minute Can we write a show Where Pop Roulette Like has a Vegas residency And like something Goes wrong That's funny Like maybe we're Maybe we're doing a vegas show and like there's like a fucking

Yeah high maintenance Oh high maintenance. Are you allowed to talk about it? I'm allowed to talk about it. I'm not allowed to talk about what? The script. The script. Honest.

Oh, my God. This is something I think I can talk about. For the high maintenance auditions, both times I went in for different things. Like, the guy was written as someone else. And I went in, like, the first time I went in, I was like, is this, is Mark the guy? And they were like, we can't tell you. And I was like, very clearly he's guy and they were like we can't tell you and i was like very clearly he's like selling this person weed anyway so it's very i mean they keep things very close to the best at hba wow um at cbs they um they tell you everything they were like and they

say share this with your friends christine baranski's cries at the election yeah that was a reshoot that was a reshoot after the election. Can you believe? Oh, because you shot that like around November or October, right? The good fight? The good fight. Was. I was in the pilot.

During the election. I was in the pilot of the good fight and they had started shooting, right? They had started shooting before me. They had been shooting for like a week or two. And then they took a month to shoot the pilot. Wow. And I worked on it for five days and i wrapped on november 8th like it was so crazy it was like fucking christine bransky

walking around wearing an i voted sticker like everyone was so excited the mood was like hillary clinton's gonna be president and like we're making a TV show about like powerful women and like about a character that literally has a Hillary Clinton picture, like a framed photo of Hillary Clinton on her desk. And then the election happened and I never was back on that set, but I imagine it was crazy. And then I saw interviews with the Kings who write the show and they like rewrote the show going forward to like make it tailored more towards like a new world and then

the episode was called inauguration which it wasn't originally and then they like had that scene with her crying or like she says something like well she's just like shit well shit yeah it's really it's a great scene um i mean i i but yeah like i think you were even telling me like uh that like people aren't like like the crew like crew crew like crew people were leaving because they were like go vote like everyone yeah they started late that day so everyone could go vote i'm sure every like production business did that because you have to legally let your people to vote but it was so i think i honestly think everyone on that set was like we're making a show that like is about a Hillary Clinton like type and like Hillary Clinton is going to be president.

It's going to be such a big deal. But then I think the show kind of became even more important because it was like. But even like Alicia Flores, like, like Julianna Margulies' character was based on Hillary. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. My God, she's so crazy. What's up, man?

What? If I could go back, I just, i wouldn't have voted for harambe okay i just wouldn't have voted for harambe because i realize now that he couldn't have won you know what rachel rachel matt has said on election night when the when when the numbers were when the numbers were coming in that's when it hit me if you vote for someone you know cannot be president then you don't care who is president especially if you wrote in harambe magic kingdom i never realized that their whole section is called the port of harambe in the africa section wait quickly go through okay you just came back yes guys quick update i can't believe we haven't talked about Disney or Universal.

Because we're all such Disney Universal queens. We are and I hope to go. Just give a quick review of Pandora. Okay, so Pandora itself is beautiful. It's a feat of engineering the way that they build the floating islands. It's gorgeous as just a piece but you can tell that the river ride, the river journey was

only made because they were like well shit if we're gonna justify this whole avatar themed land we need a second ride and it needs to like carry some spillover from people from flight of passage and have to be good for kids and have to be good for kids so disappointing so it's just a river it's like a it's like a lazy river ride with like all these glow-in-the-d, blah, blah, blah, blah. Visual effects are good. They're fine. They're not saying it's not as good as pirates. It's like visually,

visually, no visually. It's beautiful, but it's like a, it's like a boring pirates basically. And then, and there's no, like there's,

it's just more boring than more boring. Cause I love, I love pirates. And there's no, like, there's no like drops like that there are in pilot and pirates. But then the, like the big lead of the buildup of this river journey is this, I will say, a gorgeous animatronic of some blue fucking Navi shaman.

The most advanced they've ever had, I heard. Yes, like the lip movements sync up and it's just like the eyes blink. So it looks very real. But then Flight of Passage is great. I will say maybe it's because i was wearing glasses below my 3d glasses it was not as immersive as it is it could have been and i don't normally experience that with a lot of 3d rides but it's a giant fucking screen basically the way that they have it set up is you're mounting this you know sent a banshee and it's breathing

under you it's like it's like you're on this like um you know plasticky like foamy thing that's like like a bike like a breathing a living breathing bike and it's just like you're flying through through uh pandora but um like the rooms are set up where it's like the simpsons right where it's like you're we're not the simpsons right but it's kind of like this where you're stacked on top of like the simpsons right yes the people above us it was just like a wall of fucking people like 150 people facing this one giant convex screen and us being like flown through and it was amazing i mean there were some amazing parts it's great i just will never be fully gagged at a at a ride that's just a screen that's why the forbidden journey to me is the best ride because it like seamlessly takes you between like practical sets and screens interesting it's amazing and then you get like

the spiders like yes the dementors the dementors oh they're so scary every time yeah star wars land i'm hearing tea that their their big ride for that is going to be this millennium falcon yes journey and it's just going to be screens. I get what you're saying. I don't like it. It gets dated so fast also. Like the stuff on the video on the screens after like a year, two years looks already dated. Whereas Pirates is from the 70s and it still looks fucking cool.

Okay. And I will say this. I hadn't been to Animal Kingdom since like 99. So I was fucking gagged for Everest. best coaster in all of disney amazing amazing coaster oh my god i got my fucking life oh we went on it three times it was amazing were there lines there were lines but it was a little bit rainy the the lines were all concentrated at pandora everything else was like great and we fast passed it brilliantly thank you michael hartney who orchestrated all this um bowen got to experience felicia rashad doing the pre-show at dinosaur and she kills it oh my god even if she is a bill cosby apologist okay and then somebody said was it you that said oh no some oh no it was lugan dallas posted he's like i got my life

hearing felicia rashicia Say the word dinosaur She's beautiful Gorgeous creature of the stage and screen Wait oh my god I hear something Oh my god Where's that coming from It's coming from this packet of barbecue sauce That's unopened

Should I open it I think you should open it I think you should open it I'm the guest so I'm gonna open it? I think you should open it. No, Rachel, I think you should open it. I'm the guest, so I'm going to open it really slowly. She is in fright to open it. I'm a woman. Ready? Women don't go to the...

Okay, let's move on. I don't think so, honey. I don't think so, honey. Here we go. This is the moment for those of you who don't know. Did you come prepared with an I don't think so, honey? No. Okay, we don't have one either i don't don't speak for me okay okay okay i do have one so matt you want to start yes i'll start now i don't think

so honey is our uh moment in the show to take one minute to rail against something in culture that is driving us fucking nuts christ's sake and so um i have one and I don't know really where it's going to go, but I know that I feel it in my heart. Okay, here we go. This is Matt Rodgers. I don't think so, honey. Time starts now. I don't think so, honey. People at my restaurant who touch me to get my attention. Okay, so I'm a human being. I don't work for you. You're not allowed to touch me. When I'm talking to someone else and I feel anything on my body,

and especially when it's someone pulling me or touching me with your cold ass hands or your crabby fingers, I shiver in my skin. Do not touch your servers. Don't touch them. I'm serious about this. I don't know what it is. Would you just touch someone on the street?

Like, is it because I'm like in a subservient position to you that you're touching me? 15 seconds. Don't touch me. And also, it's rude. What do you think I'm gonna turn around while I'm talking to someone else

and then field your question? People really think that. When you go to a restaurant and you touch someone you deserve a fate worse than death you deserve to chill that's one minute and five seconds you deserve to chill a fate worse than death your paws wow i love you know what we don't really know what that means but i think we do know what that i think you all felt we don't really know what that means but i think we do know what that i think you all felt it when i said absolutely well i'm so sorry matt but you know what maybe some people would like in that i just being tickled and you're recently after watching the bachelor you know i used to say i thought no i never said i thought it was fair

game for people to just tickle people. I just said that if you're with somebody and you know them and you give them a little tickle, they shouldn't get mad about it. Of course they should. To me, it's a showing of affection. When I tickle Bowen, I do it because I love him. I don't like it. And I tickle Henry

and he doesn't like it at all. Okay. You gotta be careful who you tickle. Would you like to be tickled? I don't like to be tickled. I wouldn't be offended it but i'd be like no i would be offended i'd be like don't tickle me violating my physical space no get your hand away stop it stop no stop this fucking sucks okay that's me i'm a tickly I don't like that the famigly is fighting. I will tickle everyone. No, the famigly.

Yes, I will. This is a famigly. I'll come over to you and I'll get you with my fingers. A famigly that does not tickle together stays together. Here we go. Start me up. Bowen Yang, I don't think so, honey. Time starts now.

I don't think so, honey. Facebook stories? No one fucking uses you. Why are you at the very top of my screen every time I open the app, honey? No one's using it. And you know what's even worse is that you're faintly suggesting the possibility that my friends are using it in those grayed out circles

like as if Matt or Rachel or Pop Producer Joe will have a story waiting for me when they don't. It's just a placeholder, honey. And placeholders do not belong in the actual executed app. They belong in a't. It's just a placeholder, honey, and placeholders do not belong in the actual executed app. They belong in a staging. They belong in a staging wholesale for the developers

to test. They do not. Here's what placeholders are for. Designer comps. Designer prototypes in InVision, perhaps. Not on the final product, honey. do you have product designers facebook i don't think so honey i don't think so honey i don't think you're afraid your product

designers know what know what they're doing yeah sure you maybe pulled some people from the instagram office but they do not know how to do facebook well so facebook app i don't fucking think so honey you suck why are you 200 megabytes goodbye that was one minute wow i don't think so honey i can't believe facebook costs 200 megabytes isn't that insane my that's 20 photos too much 20 photos of my pits i don't have that many bites no me neither i think that facebook is gonna be huge i think it's gonna take off in the next like two to four years yeah i think it's gonna be i think we're gonna see people like talking about facebook going on facebook what about myspace now this is rachel's i don't think so okay i didn't prepare i don't think that's gonna continue to be successful on myspace okay that's fair all right harambe okay so rachel sometimes you bring that up sometimes literally

inspiration hits you when i hit start i know i'm I'm nervous. Okay. Do you want to sit? No. We don't have time. I'm just going to talk. We don't have time because Joe, who I respect as a gentleman. And a hot producer. I'm not going to say that. Okay.

But he has to leave. Why don't you want to say it? What's weird about it? Well, I'm a married woman. Why are you making it weird? This is making it weird. I'm a married woman. I have a husband that I love very much.

And only gay men are allowed to objectify okay i i'm gonna just go for something that is that is genuinely like i don't think so honey this week and it will grow it'll grow i think i don't know we'll see this is the beauty of i don't think somebody see where it takes you you know you've done it before i'll follow the journey rachel slade at our live show okay this is rachel winnitsky's i don't think so honey time starts now okay i don't think so honey rachel metal being sick for a fucking week thank you i really rely on rachel like every single morning the first thing i do is i put on her the podcast version of her show and that is how i welcome myself into the day and how i slowly integrate myself into my morning i go on the

f train which is right now the worst of the trains people got stuck on the app train for an hour the other night without ac without lights they were freaking out i couldn't get home because of it i missed an exercise class that i signed up for all i want is to sit on the f train every morning and listen to rachel maddow and have her talk about the russian collusion and really like make me feel at peace i want her to soothe my soul and she has been sick for a week and a half she just came back this morning but i don't want to listen to joy read i don't want to listen to that guy ari ari his voice is so intense i like rachel because she tells it to me like it is and she's my best friend and she lays it five seconds down when she was absent i stopped listening to her show.

And that's one minute. Honestly, 100% same. I stopped. People love Joy Reid. I like Joy. She's good. She's good. I like her better than Ari.

But she's not Rachel. She's not excellent like Rachel. And even Steve Kornacki used to fill in for Rachel every now and then. And he's the most boring of white men. Yes. Well, I know Joe, who I respect as a as a co-human has to leave. But the thing about Rachel Maddow is that she tells the news to you like she is your friend who is as pissed and as confused and incensed as you are.

And it's so fun to listen to her because she's like, isn't this crazy? Whereas those those two are they're very talented but they're so practiced they're so wooden yeah and it's and they're they're just reading off the prompter rachel i can't tell if she's reading off the prompter i know or if she's just talking off the cup and telling and weaving this beautiful tale i think she's weaving a beautiful tale partially because on this morning that yeah last night when she's like do we do we have this here do we have this and then she's like oh it's on my prompter it's not in my notes right so that made me think that like not she's like, do we have this here? Do we have this? And then she's like, oh, it's on my prompter. It's not in my notes. Right. So that made me think that she's not always looking at the prompter.

I do love the performative little highlight that she does when she takes her highlighter and underlines something on the paper. Yeah. It's like, hmm. I love, I just love her so much. Love her to death. Guys, I'm still, Rachel Winitsky and I are on the Maddo train. I know Matt, Matt can listen to it if he wants to. We're going to encourage Matt.

You got to get down, You got to get into that. I think I have to get into it because I don't know. I don't know. I guess it just it overwhelms me. The news is really big right now. But it just it just overwhelms me. And to be honest with you, sometimes. But Rachel makes it work.

Rachel connects it. Sometimes I don't fully understand everything that's going on. I'll just I'll't fully understand everything that's going on. Well, then listen to Rachel. I'll just bravely say that. She's really good, though, because her A-blocks will take it all the way back, honey. Yeah. She tells you what you need to know. She's going to get you over that learning curve.

Yeah. Just sometimes I feel like I'll feel very on top of things because I'll be listening every single day, and then I'll step away for a little while just for my own sanity, and then I'll come back, and I'll be like, wait, wait what happened that's kind of the thing that's happening i think happening now with the news though you know she really is she's breaking news and you can watch her and not know what's going on because she is only dealing with like bombshell stuff reports bombshell reports my drag name my rachel's drag name every day i go into reductress and i sit at my desk and i turn to the room and i say I'm just waiting for bombshell reports.

Because that's all I do. Gorgeous. Quick announcement. My drag name, I have now realized after seeing Wonder Woman, is Annapurna Pictures. Annapurna Pictures. Okay. Guys, this has been a great episode of Lost Culture Race to Us. We have our famically member, Rachel Winitsky, here with us.

Great movie, by the way, Wonder Woman. Yeah, great. Good movie. We'll do that in part two of my episode. god i'm so excited i'm doing two episodes of last culture we're so excited you're doing the two she'll be back in 2021 yep there we go accurate it's crazy that i'll be president she'll be back in four years she's she's four more years four more years that's what the girl the girl who um ran for president of my high school. Oh. Her slogan. Her slogan was, four more years.

I'm sorry. Oh, my God. I'm Matt Rogers. Wait. I'm sorry. Oh, my God. I'm Matt Rogers, but wait. I have to tell you, I'm hearing something. Yeah, wait. This is crazy. And I have to point it out because I feel like if I don't point it out, I will feel... Angry.
