On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida. And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba? Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home, and he wanted to take his son with him. Or stay with his relatives in Miami? Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.

amazing I think I saw all of you do Shannon and Tammy have friends together it wasn't me oh my god Matt tell Shannon through the podcast she hasn't asked me to do it what I'm positive Matt it wasn't me

Don't worry because I want to be considered one of Shani and Tannen. Shani and Tannen. Shani and Tannen. They're two little fish in the gym in the sea.

I could have sworn it was you. What a faux pas. It wasn't. No, I mean, I'm just going to say that I would love to do the show, Shani Tammy. But I have done a bunch of shows with Chelsea.

Yeah. She's just... Oh, my gosh. The best. One of the best. Hey, this is a little too Chelsea Clark focused for my... I know. Wow. Okay.

Sorry, Chelsea. Sorry, Chelsea. Bye, Chelsea. But no, it's true. Sometimes, especially when... Because we went to NYU, so we were going to shows in college, on the reg. They're like, ooh, let's comedy in New York. And you do.

It's so insane to talk to people now, and you're like, oh, God, yeah, for sure. And you're like, ha-ha. And they turn the corner, and you're like, oh, my God. Right. You know what? We're still starstruck, baby. Starstruck. Wait, how did you two meet?

We met in college. It's so funny. This is a good story. Wait, how did you two meet? We met in college. It's so funny. This is a good story. Okay, great. It's hard to pinpoint where it starts. I do remember the moment I saw... I know exactly when. No, okay.

But I have a different origin point. Okay. So this is it. I had a friend in the pre-med program with me named Mung Bielefeld. Yes. Oh, he's my doctor. He is. He's a she.

She's your doctor. This was back when I sort of retreated back into the closet and thought I liked girls again. And I was like, oh, this girl is beautiful. Wow. I think I'm in love with her. And then she lived in this dorm on 14th Street um and on her

floor was a boy named matt rogers and then he this is back when you can record videos on people's walls he recorded a video on her wall where he goes hey mung here's a little and he's matt's completely shirtless he goes hey mung here's a naked video for you no i didn't do this and i go who is this person why are they coming after the love of my girl this is so funny oh my god and then and then it was totally it was total animosity totally animosity at first and then the moment we met matt remembers this more lucidly than i do we all and mung was, let's all go to see a sketch comedy show at NYU called Hammercats. So I wasn't in the group at the time, but we all went and Bowen and I met in this small group and Mung was like, you'll meet Bowen

at this and he's in Dangerbox, the improv group, and you'll meet him. And we met and it was like, hmm, okay. Two little dogs sniffing each other's asses sniffing each other's lasses and so we met there and then this and then we didn't speak again for many months yes what but then abra and this is where improv comes into play and this is i'll always have a thing with improv this is a distorted perspective bowen was in the improv group at NYU. And I went to audition for the group my sophomore year because I decided I'd come out of the closet.

I was not going to wear American Eagle anymore. I was going to pursue comedy, which I had always wanted to do. Still wears American Eagle. No, I do not. Somebody look for that eagle. Is it on your shirt? No, don't look. Don look don't look but i went to go audition for the date for the danger box improv group and bowen comes over and this is before i

got into the room to audition he goes hey matt wow it's great to see you everyone says you're so funny and i was like oh yeah i'm really hoping to get on the group. And then he goes, well, let's look at your little paper that you filled out. I was like, okay, well, here it is. And he said, hmm, Improv 101. I was like, yeah, Ben Rogers was my teacher. He goes, ooh, that's good. That means you're already at an advantage. So you took a class.

I was like, yeah, I hope so. Go in there. Cut first round, Abra. Shut up. Cut first round. Now let's do what he said. Cut. Let's do what he said he said. Anna Dresen, SNL writer. Cut first round, Abra. Shut up. Okay. Cut first round. Now let's do what he said. Cut. Let's do what he said he said.

Anna Dresden, SNL writer. Cut me. Let's do what he said he said, okay? This is, okay. So that was Matt's. Ab, I can't. Ab, hold on. I'm scared of improv from that moment on.

No, no, no, no, no. Stop. Don't step foot. Can I tell my version? Don't step foot in the scene. Won't get off the back wall. Please allow me to tell my version of the story. Go for it. I'm excited.

This is my first year as a, quote unquote. Already completely different story. This is my first year as a, quote unquote, upperclassman. I'm not a freshman anymore. I'm excited to be part of the audition process, which was so harrowing that first year, freshman year, and the previous year. It's a very nerve-wracking experience so hard to be young so i walk out so i walk out um and and i see all the auditioners and then i

spot matt who's a familiar face and i go oh my goodness matt it's so good to see you um i'm so excited you're auditioning so um yeah like have you have you done improv before or have you or like have you done improv before and then he and then we basically get to uh yeah i took improv 101 bed ronders was my teacher and i go that's amazing that means you already have a leg up on everybody so that's great yeah i felt real good going in the room felt real good had been reassured and everything and i said well like break a leg dude like it would be so cool to like be on the same team together then of course the way you judge someone based on their improv is three line scenes yes three line scenes and and i'll tell character i'll tell you what happened after the three of the first round we all the all the team members go into a room and we're like going through our lists of people and we get to matt

rogers and then anna dresen says no uh some other people say no and then Anna Dresden says no. Some other people say no, and then I go, no, that's Matt. I know him from freshman year. He's so funny. I think he'd be really, really great. Let's put him through the next round, and I was outvoted.

Oh, my God. And I fought for Matt. And all of them now, they're my friends now, and I'll never forget. Can I tell my version of the story? Now, what happened? What happened? Okay, so I was, they're my friends now and I just I'll never forget can I tell my version of the story now what happened what happened okay so I was um I was at NYU I was in a classroom I sneak into the

buildings to use the restroom and I was in this room and then there were a bunch of college improvisers and I was eating a bag of McDonald's and then I of McDonald's. Put Ben in that. And then I saw a sign and it said comedy. And I ran in the room and I snuck in there. And then all of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye, I see these two hunks. And they're talking.

And then all of a sudden, one of them grabs the other and the other one hits the other. And I'm like, stop it. Stop fighting. And then they're like, who are you? And I'm like, I can't tell you. And then I ran away.

Oh, my God. That was her. That was her. Who are you? Oh, my God. I can't tell you. I'm crying. That's so funny.

Oh, my God. I can't tell you. Oh, my God. I can't tell you. What happened to the McDonald's? I left it. You didn't eat it. No. It's probably funny. Oh, my God. I can't. Oh, my God. I can't tell you. What happened to the McDonald's? I left it. You didn't see it. No.

It's probably still there. Oh, my God. I left it, and then I came back, and I was like, this is weird. I'm going to take this. Oh, my God. I still can't tell you who I am. Well, just so you guys know, the next day, I made it onto the sketch team. Yes.

And then I said to all of them from the improv group, I was like, you watch this space. I was like, I'll be coming for you all one day. You said, what I've got inside me, what I've been holding down inside of me, there wouldn't be signs big enough. There wouldn't be signs big enough. There wouldn't be stars bright enough. Oh, my goodness. Well, yeah. Oh, that's funny.

We don't get to tell that origin story often. That is how it all started. That is amazing. And it is hilarious how even just the start of your stories, it's just the tone. It's like, I was just being positive. And it's just like, I came in the room, I was so nervous. And it's just instant. It's status.

And then, I don't know. I think we truly became friends because we were at like a like one of the like parties after one of the shows and like noticed across the room that one of the other was like lip-syncing perfectly nikki minaj's super bass and i was like this one who are you really yes and then we became true friends true friends so thank you nikki minaj thank you nikki now abra we have to get down to this question your origin story your origin story what was the culture that made you think culture it's for me it's for me yeah culture it's for me i'm gonna try this on oh my gosh probably um can i just say that um my culture source might be my dad that That's great. By the way, his name is Harley, which is just like Harley Tayback.

But I think I got to know culture through my dad, who when I was little had a mustache, huge, but was a big acoustic guitar player. Oh, lots of music in the house. Lots of music in the house from the dad. And then I think he, that was like my first introduction into like music. That's great. It was just like Peter, Paul, and Mary songs. Oh, that's great. So it was like an artistic house. No.

I think my dad. We were artists. The Tabacs. No. my i think my we were artists the tabacs i i know i i mean my family is very um supportive and that they love me but i think they would love for me to do something else that's yeah that's my right you know but my dad is just he has a beautiful voice and he works um with uh in like in nursing homes and plays his guitar and he's like that's wonderful that's fantastic and so yeah that was my first like stage moment was like singing with him and being like this feels amazing so did you ever go to the nursing homes and perform with him for the that was the first show it was like a talent night or whatever.

And I remember going up with him. And then we have just a random home video where my dad is just jamming. Shredding. And I think it might be my brother's birthday. And he's playing. And then I get up. And it's fully improvised. And I literally sing a song that's like,

I like to eat hot dogs and ketchup. And then I sing to my brother at one point. I'm like, how are you, Benjamin? I love you. And my brother, he will not look at me. He will not even look at me. He's like, no, shut it down. This is my party.

And you are the worst. How are you, Benjamin? I love you. I love those lils. I love you. That's very like our sensibility. Absolutely. Oh, yeah.

This is music. This is a song. That's culture. That's culture. That's Brandon Scott Jones too. He does that. I'm singing. Now. Can't think of a more joyful

way to perform to express yourself why not just add a little bit of inflection and let it ride so where does Abra come from the name yeah so she is a character in John Steinbeck's East of Eden that's amazing which character

her name is Abra. No, but where? Have you read it? You fucking idiot. Oh, wait. Abra. Oh, because in East of Eden, all the characters with C names are evil. All the characters with A names are good.

Oh, wow. I didn't know this. I didn't even pick up on that. Yes. No, because. No, so you are the smart one. No, but I think Abra. What is it about the sea so it's it's

basically like reincarnations of cain and abel oh my goodness so cain kills abel and so see it's spoiler spoiler genesis read it genesis is ruined for me now don't even bother i'm not even gonna watch the mini series coming out next spring oh my god every year there's a bible series anyway got to got to gotta gotta gotta and then um so yeah so i think abra must have been one of the like the matriarchs of the family there's the ames family i think anyway that's well that's very cool i didn't get that reference until just now no i i honestly hearing you say that is so great because I read it for the first time like two months ago.

Oh, yeah. Because I was so nervous to read it. Uh-huh. It's an intense book. It is so intense. Yeah. And my parents would always say, oh, it's described her as the good girl. And I was like, what does this mean?

Oh. But she ends up being the love interest. That's what she is. Between the brothers. Yes. I mean, come on. It's a love triangle? Well, no.

I mean, she's with the one brother. And then in the end, spoiler, like the one dies. The one dies. It wraps up that it's clear like she and the other brother are going to be together because they're both like struggling with life. But then there's the evil woman in that book. The mom of the brothers is the real- Kathy.

Yes. Yes. Who's just a bona fide sociopath. Like Satan. Like demon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a John Steinbeck? John Steinbeck.

It was his big... It was after Grapes. He wrote Grapes of Wrath and he was like, I'm going to write my masterpiece. I think he considered it his masterpiece. I've only read Of My Sin Men. I've never read that. Well, that was the only one they made us read in school. I famously haven't read many books. I mean,

here's the thing. I will openly admit that I have a lack of classics in my arsenal. Same, same. 100%. And now as an adult I have to read like fun books before bed. I do read before I go to sleep. Right, right. But it I have to read like fun books before bed I do read before I go to sleep right right

but it's gotta be like a murder mystery or like a young adult book or something like if you go it was hard to read East of Eden I was like

I gotta push myself slog through it you know what's a fun those books are tough especially when you're 14 but you know what come on I know

they expect us to read that make me read Scarlet Letter when I'm 30 okay then I'll get it save it for I don't think so honey oh you're right Come on. I know. They expect us to read that. Make me read Scarlet Letter when I'm 30. Okay? Okay. Then I'll get it. Save it for I don't think so, honey.

Oh, you're right. I don't think so. Public schools of New York. Wow. You know what? You know what's a good mix of like fun, beach-ready murder mystery and like semi-serious book is like Agatha Christie stuff. I was going to say.

I'm reading a lot of Poirot. Oh. Poirot novels. It's the- Poirot. Poirot. Poirot. Poirot. Poirot of Poirot novels. Bonjour. He's the detective that Agatha Christie writes. He's great. I just finished.

Have you heard of Tana French? She's like a murder mystery writer. She's Irish. And I am very into the library right now. Her name is Tana French? Can you believe it? Oh my God. What a glamour puss. I need her. Not glamour Oh my god what a glamour puss I need her

Not glamour glamour glamour puss Yeah and I just finished it because it was due today so I was like on the subway really pushing through

Oh my god was it good? It was very good Nice It was a great book Tana French Tana French we have to explore

If I didn't make that name up I know that's Tana French I made that up. Tana. I'm like, I'm sorry. I think you might have made you up.

That's amazing. The library culture, but that's a forgotten piece of culture. Well, here's the... I was afraid of libraries in New York for a long time because of the old bee bugs. Because we saw on Ghostbusters that they're haunted.

That true. That true. That true. Girl, that true. That true. Tana French. Oh, that's the title of this episode, I think. Girl, that true. No, because when...

Or is it Tana French? I don't know. It's so good. Either one could be great yeah but when b-bugs were like really taking over new york oh people were like you can get them through library books that a little b-bug will be in the book and then you'd be like squish and then put it away and then you'll take it home you've had b-bugs never i will leave new york city gone it's done i've already made that mental choice

that if it happened, I will burn everything and leave in a fire glory. I feel like that's the ultimate rite of passage, though. Bebugs. I can't do it. No way. I don't want it.

I had a Bebugs scare. I don't want it at all. My first year in New York, I had a Bebugs scare freshman year. I was sitting in... In the dorm? I never lived in a dorm. Bowen never lived in a dorm. I lived with my dorm i lived with my sister always off the grid always off the grid off the

grid baby um you know how they refer to the grid as dorms so i yeah i just was getting a bunch of bites and then i would never be able to fall asleep. And then I would just... I would go to lecture at 9 in the morning for Econ. And I would just... This is at... I don't think so, honey. This is at Skirball. This is at Skirball.

It's a giant lecture hall. Big old lecture hall. Lecture hall, also a fun place to play games. Also? Skirball? Also Skirball. And also literally alicia keys did a concert there also literally it's a huge venue yeah people do it people do it um do it so i and then yeah i would just i i can point to the seat where i just like looked up bed bugs on my laptop

anyway and you knew you had it i thought i had it and then it ended up we didn't have it it was fine thank god that's the thing anytime you get a a bite in New York and it's the immediate question and sometimes just like a little mosquito or some little spider really doesn't realize the anxiety that they cause. No, not at all. Also, you guys, if you're looking for apartments and you find this great apartment and the rent is real low, probably it's had bee bugs. You have to do your bee bug check. I just love that Abra. I've's had bee bugs. You have to do

your bee bug check. I just love that Abra, I've never heard bee bugs before. I love that Abra has bugs. News that I, and it took me a second

and I was like, oh, she's talking about bees, but we dare not say its name. We're jinxing ourselves right now.

I honestly have too many words that are created by me that I assume everyone understands. That is culture. But that's culture. Is it? That assume everyone understands. That is culture. But that's culture.

Is it? That's culture creation. Okay, great. Yes. Like, I always say... This is actually a pre-established rule we've set on the show. Rule number 78.

You can invent words. You can invent words. That is the rule. And I always say, you know, if I ever see someone on the street and I call them something goofy, like a Fla-Fa, or like a Boona,

or like June, that means I love them. We ran into Dara Katz the other day on the street and I say oh June and then I said to her I was like you know that means I love you that I made up a name. That's when you know. Sudi Green is many things. Rita. Well you say Rita and I say

you know Buna, Fafa, Lafa, Sufa. She's Fafa. Fafa to me. And I'm many things. I'm many things. Henry is many things. No, Henry's, what's the main one? Grubbous. Grubbous. Yeah. Let's come up with one for Abra because we do love Abra.

I have a good one for Abra. Here we go. Laffle. Honestly, I've always wanted a tattoo and now I know just get it across your back it's going to be a huge cursive across the back and make sure it's many colors

it can't just be black it has to be very colorful waffle across my back and also just like a little falafel underneath it just to be silly not to be confused with falafel underneath it just to be silly just to be lawful not to be confused with falafel don't you dare in fact because falafel famously a real word and not something that i want to look like like falafel like it looks like a little lumpy orange thing oh my god um awful oh okay

so right off the air Aubrey came in And then somehow We talked We got to League of their own It's because you You have a new hat right now Bowen's wearing a nice

Little new hat Famously I've said Publicly Hats are insane But I And my head has always Been too big for hats But I found this good one

It has a really small Little bill It's really cute That's very emotional for me that you just said that well i'm sorry but now i'm coming because i don't know how you feel but when i was in high school i tried to wear hats and all my friends said i looked stupid in a hat oh those aren't friends those aren't right also we weren't allowed to wear hats in school no No, me, us neither. Socially. Oh, okay. But I was wondering if your school was like, you can do it. One of those lax schools. No, no, no, no.

Wait, why was that? You know what the reasoning that we got was? Was because you could apparently hide a gun under your hat. Oh, my gosh. Isn't that the most insane thing you've ever heard? First of all, no, you can't. No, you cannot. How uncomfortable would that be?

No. What under this hat? Nothing. I don't know what you're talking about. Meanwhile, in my enormous backpack. Yeah, what the hell? A bad backpack. What about the backpacks then?

I know. I can't believe that was ever the case. What did they tell you? Yeah, I mean, apparently it was. What did they tell you? I honestly don't remember. I just feel apparently it was. What did they tell you? I honestly don't remember. I just feel like there were so many rules based on like, so you couldn't carry weapons.

It was like, yeah, I guess it was folded into that. There were other, I mean, trench coats were obviously banned. Oh, sure. Oh, God. Other things that I feel like, yeah, now thinking back, I'm like, oh, yeah, we yeah we weren't allowed our thing was it was definitely a respect thing but my but my superintendent was very conservative like i've said before on the pod like our our our musicals that we were doing we could never do anything without like suggested anything sexual like we were not allowed to do greece we were not allowed to do any of that but we did do the King and I in an all-white high school.

And also the Wiz. So you could tell what was the priority there. Right, right, right. But ours was definitely the heads must be bare because it's a respect fact. Now, wait. I don't know if this might have anything to do with the rule. But where was school? Virginia. Virginia.

I mean, yeah. It's gun country. I don't know. It's all... I just refuse to believe that it's a gun thing. I'm not sure. I honestly that's what I'm saying. I can't remember what it was about hats, but I just remember like, oh, yeah, you what we couldn't wear hats. What about gum? Well, I would never. I hate gum. Wow. Shocking. Oh, my goodness. Well, that's.

All kinds? No, I mean, I'm not saying I don't like the taste of it, but it's it literally is like an anxiety thing. I think it's called like misophonia. It's like people who are super sensitive to sounds. Oh. So if someone chomps their gum or cracks it, like will lose my mind like i i can't focus on anything else yeah uh so i don't chew it because i i mean i will every once in a while but it does

bother me so much it feels oh wow so you weren't privy to the rules on it because it wasn't part of your culture it wasn't part of my culture yeah you guys didn't have gum in school we were not to chew gum i think it yeah i think you're right though i think it wasn't part of my culture yeah you guys didn't have gum in school we were not to chew gum i think it yeah i think you're right though i think it wasn't allowed in school too we were not to chew gum our fourth grade class during standardized testing season lobbied to have gum free gum during the testing because we pulled up studies as fourth graders that it made you think better yeah we were like look mrs jacobi we we can think better on gum right and like who knows if there was someone in the class with mesophilia

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose.

My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble.

I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.

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

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

Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know, I've heard of people with the fear of gum

because they believe that they'll choke on it. Oh. Yeah, that's what I... So it's a fear. It's like a thing. It's like an irrational thing like I can't put the gum in my mouth because at some point I will absentmindedly be chewing it and I will choke on it. Right.

Which I buy. They shouldn't eat then. Let me tell you. Swallowing gum? Nasty. Not a day in the park. Not a day in the park. Not a day in the park.

Panicky. Panicky. I get a little bit panicky whenever I swallow gum. When it happens, just like a... Just like, oh my God. Just like when it's in your throat. It's like, oh God. And then they also say that rumor that gum stays in your stomach for seven years.

Yes. Yes. Back to hats. So maybe they're right. Maybe they're right. Back to hats. The school's never right about that. But we got on this topic because

bowen has a new hat so i'm trying i'm entering this new phase in my life where i'm gonna give hats a try that's good you look cute but come around on hats thank you that means a lot because i like matt was told as a child no hats no hats you look no you look not even no hats like you're you look dumb in hats because my power thing ob i think it's a power thing, Ob. I think it's a power thing. To tell someone you can't do it. I think you look bad in this. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's like a very high school thing. I think it's like you look stupid or you look bad or you can't do this is like a power thing.

Yes, absolutely. At that critical age. And so anyway, I was wearing this hat and then someone, was it Ob, you that said I looked like? No, that was a sweet Matt remark. Sweet Matt. I said, I looked at him in this hat and it is a cap with a short brim. And I said, you look like the umpire. I said this with love because I don't want to remember I'm the sweet one.

Right. So I said this with love. I said, you look like the umpire in A League of Their Own that Tom Hanks says you look like a little penis with a hat on. But in the cutest way. In the cutest way. And I think that it's so dainty on you and so cute. Thank you.

And then I famously said, I have never seen League of Their Own. To which Abra replied, Oh. My. God. And I concurred. But Abra, you've seen it so many times. I've seen it so many times.

And I did say it is maybe my favorite movie of all time. Culture. I've seen it so many times i've seen it so many times and i did say it is maybe my favorite movie of all time culture i've seen it so many times it's so good i can't believe you haven't seen it i know i know but honestly i don't don't feel bad because i also along with books there's a lot of classic movies that i haven't seen likewise that people really get on me about and i'm like look name the biggest one. What's the biggest? Sound of Music. Oh my God, Oprah. I've never seen it either. No way.

I've never seen it either. And people kill me for it. Yes. Oh my God, Brandon kills me for it. Henry is moving out because of it. It's one of the most beautiful movies of all time. I mean, I got a backlog of a lot of things I got to see. Yeah, I know.

Also The Godfather for me. I have seen it, but maybe not start to finish. I've probably pieced it together. Like this log. Yeah. Have you seen West Side Story? Yes. I haven't seen that one either.

Oh, gosh. So beautiful. Oh, bones crying. Yeah, but then I hear about the horrible things that happen in it. Right. Oh. I don't want to see that. I don't want to see that happen in it. Right. Oh. I don't want to see that. I don't want to see that.

I don't want to see what happens to Anita. Ever. I love that your thing that you could not handle seeing is the thing that happens to Anita. Anita. Well. You really, she's under like mentioned in terms of the tragedy of West Side Story. It's like, what about Anita? Anita.

What about Chino? It's like, what about Barb from Stranger Things yes oh Barb Barb were you a Stranger Things fan I really loved it I really really did

so did I although I was terrified yeah same I can't watch it because it's too scary we had it on for 10 seconds and I was like

Ken I'm out I just was listening to you guys talking about that and I was like I do get that and also the thing that I fully agreed

with is your breaking bad sitch that i think i also made it to four and then i was like i'm depressed and upset and i can't finish and it got so much worse from that point from what i hear like i i watched through season four no the first episode of season four breaking bad and then i had to stop i was like you know what i respect this but I can't be a part of it anymore. Wow. Yeah. I feel like there's a lot of shows where, yeah, you're supposed to power through, but I'm trying to really empower myself to say.

No. I'm, my, my actual mood is getting bad because I'm watching this stuff. I have to stop. And does it get to the point with you too, where like sometimes you'll be watching like a normal show where violent things don't happen, but you assume that there will be something? Oh, yes. Mad Men, I would be watching it behind a pillow.

And I was scared. I was scared. In the last season of Mad Men, I watched from behind a sheet. I was terrified. I thought there was going to be something violent. So this is just like people who are scared of swallowing gum. You're, you're afraid of something that has very low likelihood of happening.

You know what? You're right. Right? Like it's, what do you think that means about me? I don't know. I think, I think this is,

no, this says more about humanity than it does. Just you. We all have these irrational fears of huge catastrophic things that probably hopefully won't happen. Right. But. They do. They do.

You know what? They don't. What my most irrational, like whatever, my biggest fear ever. And that's why this has been such a shitty time to be on Facebook lately. I very much fear like nuclear war. So everyone coming out with their jokes about like we're getting nuked. It's not funny. time to be on Facebook lately. I very much fear like nuclear war. So everyone coming out with their jokes about like, we're getting nuked.

Not funny. I think it's, not only is it not funny, I think it's hacky. I think that you're all hacks. Sorry. And also you need to have some respect because there's people out there that are truly scared of that.

And it's scary. You're talking about everyone dying. But that's implying that the people who are making the jokes aren't scared. Well, that's fine. Deal with your fear however you want. Actually, no. Wait. Don't. Don't type a Facebook status about it. I don't like it. I find it

disrespectful. Honestly, currently no Facebook. Took Twitter off my phone. Instagram's gone. I came back in for a moment and then I come back out. I can't be on it. It's too much. It's too much.

But this is happening now because I – Yeah. A lot of people are just sort of – there's a mass exodus and I think after this weekend, I'm done. I think I might be done too. I can't imagine you not on it though. I know. No, really. I mean, it does – I'm happier.

Good. Okay, good. I'm so happy that Henry is off too. And he says he's so much happier. It is. And all, you know, I just, when everything happened, I took it all off my phone and then I just watched incessant episodes of Great British Bake Off. And that is how I survived the results of the election. Yeah.

Look, can I just say, I just want to point out real quickly, I looked up to Abra a lot, especially during the primary season, because she would publicly wear her hillary fucking clinton shirt everywhere and i'd be like yes fuck yes abra and then like i like when when all like you know when like the whole like oh it's cool to love bernie which it was which is and it's great and i love bernie but i was i was i was a hillary guy always always I was like, people would just shit on you for liking Hillary. And I'd be like, no, no, no, no, no. We're out here wearing our shirts. Yes.

And it was a very nice thing to see Abra just wear that. I'm glad. I love her. 100%. I love her so much. I was at her headquarters volunteering throughout. You were. And it was just the best.

And I was there on election day and i was just like we were all just like yeah and then um were you at javits or were you at the office no i was at yeah the office in brooklyn um but i think i think she's incredible and i still do and i just i just want to talk to her there's an amazing i have i have to say absolutely no regrets no regrets everyone's like well i agree with them there is a lot to learn from the election going forward but like no regrets um there was a great piece i don't know if it was in the washington post or something else where it was like hillary clinton plans her next move and it's very interesting they wrote this

after the inauguration they were like she's gonna like going to like – I think her and the Obamas are really going to like make a place for – and Bernie, like everybody. Like I mean – which there's an argument to be made about whether or not these are the Democratic leaders we want since they've, you know, on a certain level failed us in an election. But I think collectively they're going to create a place and a space for everyone to sort of like anchor their, their, their ideologies. And so I, that's very exciting. And I can't wait to see what's next for Hillary.

I really can't. Me too. And I honestly, in a lot of ways, I just don't feel like we deserve her because everything she does, everyone's like, like even at the inauguration, everything was like,

Hillary Clinton's so stoic. And I'm like, what more do you want from this woman she is here i would have flipped him off and run off and but she was elegant and poised and and even then people you know were trying to find something i was just like you know what i want to just you to have an island and you want you to grow your hair long yeah and i want you to just like live your life because she got us yes i'm like you you've done so much and just girl woman yeah i love it and not that it really matters but she looked incredible i mean i just i was like the second she stepped out and the cameras were right in her face i'm like you know what that is literal that says everything yeah it's like you still had to know yeah what her reaction would be

like you're still so interested aren't you you're so interested i was just like you know it's just such fucked up i don't know i i still get salty about it because she was poised in a way that he is not capable of being. Not for a moment of his life. No. It just upsets me a lot. But you know what? You know what's actually been really nice for me? What I've been doing is just thinking about all the amazing new leaders that have just been elected.

Kamala. Kamala. Yeah. Like Tammy Duckworth. Tammy. Who's an amazing story and people aren't talking about it enough. That is an amazing story. Incredible. It got totally swept under the rug with

all the other bullshit that was happening but like we elected the first disabled woman to Senate. That's amazing. Yeah. Huge. That's amazing and Kamala i think is a force kamala kamala is a force my girl kirsten's coming through right now kirsten jill she's she's looking like a woman who's running for prize you think well i mean it's the it's the whole voting no on all the appointments and like she's you know she know, she's, wow, that's very interesting. That's a thing.

I feel like we got to highlight these good things. Yeah. Yeah. Good stuff. And that's when the March was happening. I was like, you know, at first I was so annoyed that like the time still had Trump at the top of

their, of their webpage. And I was like, no. And then eventually it got pushed to the front, but I was like, we can't let the, the garbage dominate. Like there's no good stuff. Yeah. the front. But I was like, we can't let the garbage dominate.

There's good stuff happening. Speaking of the garbage. Yes. One of Bowen and I's favorite thing is to watch Omarosa on talk shows. And Omarosa, I think it was yesterday or today, was on The View, honey. Stop it. And I've never heard anything I love more than the words Omarosa on The View. Because The View is how I get my news.

Matt, not anymore. And it has been since 2008. You can't keep this up. And I get my news from The View. And watching Omarosa on The View today, I gotta say, I'm excited to hear more from Omarosa. No, Matt. Are you excited that she'll probably be our Secretary of State? Or something.

Let me tell you something. The way that she was talking to them. She's insane. Like, Sunny Hostin, the one host on The View, was like asking a question. Of course, it was like a compound question. And Omarosa's like, well, you know what? How about I answer your first question,

and then we can talk about the other parts of your question, because what you just asked is really a lot. So your first question in your series of confusing questions, I'll do that. Thank you so much. Oh, my God. And then it takes her so long to tell you how stupid the way that you've asked the question is,

and then she answers the question, and it all just comes back to, like, don't you ever speak to me the way that you've spoken to me i know what's up and you don't and it's just so overpowering toxic though it's so toxic but you it's funny but that's what we said about trump i right but here's the thing i had i don't want you to view but i was and i believe it was yesterday, I was in the gym plug. Yes, yes. Wait, I love that.

I was in the gym plug. I was in the gym. And I purposely, I go at a random time when no one's there, like at like 11, hello, no work. Hi. And I go and change the TVs because they'll be on CNN and I can't see his stupid face. And the view was on and first of all, it was an Aladdin Broadway dedicated show.

Oh my God, yes. And Whoopi got a costume made to be the genie. And so the best part is obviously I can't hear the sound and there were no captions. So I was just imagining what was happening. And first of all, this was the entire episode

because the genie was a guest host. And then you see her going down the hallway and getting ready to come up through the tube. And I guess she just pops out of the tube and is like, hey. This is Whoopi? They were like, Whoopi as the genie, which you know means she's going to walk out there

and be like, hmm. I'm Who which you know means she's going to walk out there and be like, I'm whoopie. And everyone's going to freak out because it's whoopie. Yes. But then it was just like, I didn't know what was happening. But eventually the other genie who was there. The real genie. The real genie. Please stand up.

I don't know how I feel about that. I love that. Did it work? The real genie, please stand up. Oh, good. We're still singing songs. And, good. We're still singing songs. And then I guess she just like left. And that was it.

Like, she just came in to be like, two genies? Bye. Bye. I have to say she wasn't on this episode with Omarosa, which made me feel so mad. Whoopi would have just not had it. Let me tell you, that means that joy was the moderator for the episode and you know that there's shit between joy and omarosa because omarosa goes you know joy you're being um you're obviously very angry and i can i can understand that because

i can understand how terrible you must feel that trump is in office and he is and let me tell you something you have hit him and hit him and hit him and there he is in office. God damn it. He is. And let me tell you something. You have hit him and hit him and hit him. And there he is in office. And Joy's like, yeah, actually, it does. It kills me. It literally kills me. It does. And then.

That's what you have to do. Yeah. Then I Google search Joy Behar. Do you know she's 74? No. She looks unreal. She looks amazing. She's 74.

I would have guessed in her 50s. Do you know what I mean? Do you know who's about to hit 70? Who? Elizabeth Warren. Oh, wow. I don't know if that's as surprising. No, maybe not.

But she's youthful. Yeah. Can I also... This is... I mean, we're talking about very important people. This person is also important to me. Come on. Okay.

Guess how old Keanu Reeves is. No. 60. Oh. 50? 52. I'm kidding. I guessed high. Wait. Yes. 52? What? person is also important to me come on okay guess how old keanu reeves is no 60 oh 52 i guess high wait yes what he looks amazing he looks amazing i liked it that's hot that's hot keanu reeves was my crush at like i had a collage and he is still like top five oh yeah and i love john wick i think it is such a good movie and i will be john mc2 is coming out i will february 10th i will be there wow do you stand for kiana like you see all the movies um i haven't seen i've seen it like his action movies speed uh speed two i mean oh no he wasn't

He's an incredible person. He's also had a- He's a great person. He's had like a very tough time in life and in love. Yeah.

And he's very generous. Yes. And he's just a great dude. He could so easily be a dirtbag, but he's not. He's not. He's not. Yeah. Who's a dirtbag that's like him?

Like Orlando Bloom, you know? Do you think he's a dirt bag i based on his wee wee based on his wee wee his butt peepee being out like almost on katie berry's back when they were like water surfing i've talked about this on the pod before water surfing let's put a pin in that i was in line behind him at the 14th street mcdonald's at 4 a.m and he was oh my god yes tell this he was being a drunk i've told this before i'll tell it again this is good was being a drunk. I've told this before. I'll tell it again. This is good. This is culture.

Matt and I were at this Hammercats after party. Call back. Call back. Got very drunk. Wild after parties in college when you're in sketch comedy. When you're in sketch comedy. So I leave and then I go to the McDonald's on 14th and 6th, I want to say. It's like three in the

morning and then there's um there's a homeless person sort of like leaning against the counter um not even doing just kind of hanging out 14th and third that's the one oh that's the one yeah the bad one just leaning there just just not like not doing anything and then orlando and then i and then i just i i go up to the counter and there's this man behind me and then and then uh Orlando and then this man is like shouting at the people uh no one's at the registry but he's shouting at the people behind uh like you know the racks and stuff and he's like help this guy out help this guy out and then he turns around and I see it's fucking Orlando Bloom and he goes why won't these people like feed this man a burger and i was like oh i don't know yeah it's terrible like i i don't remember what i said but then the next week he had his second

let me tell you something that's a good sex tape have you seen the colin farrell sex tape who's he have sex with uh this playboy playmate named Nicole Noreen. No. I think this is one of the few sex tapes I've seen. Why is it good? I'm interested. Google search. Because it's Colin Farrell.

Also, you're plugging of Google search. Also, not just Google, but you specify. Google search. It's Google search.com. I want to make sure. Google search.com forward slash Colin Far farrell sex tape and then you type in colin farrell sex tape you hit search and then the first link that genuine terrified about i mean this could launch into a very private discussion about being tracked for things you search and

like accidentally getting a virus that's like you have inappropriate porn on your computer it's like no he wasn't i was just searching for colin farrell and it's like yeah uh you got a virus hold on i came back the other day and there was a name of a really bizarre celebrity shirtless and i was like henry what the heck oh no and i have to think i have to think of who it was what was the celebrity in i i don't remember it but it was like a celebrity that you would oh oh my god he's gonna be so mad but i'm gonna say it he has such a crush on thomas middleditch oh my gosh oh my god he's gonna be so embarrassed oh but thomas is a cutie. He's so cute. Yeah.

Over the summer, going into sophomore year. And I was the only person in the comedy community at NYU that was gay. Yeah. And then at that point, going into sophomore year, I was like, oh boy, I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. Tough to keep up. Yeah. So then I kept it up until second semester, though, after winter break. And then in February, we all head up to skidmore college i don't know have you done that have you done no but i mean but torco torco yeah torco does it and then um they headlined that year and that's why

yeah and then just yeah the week before that i think the day before we left i had come out to the people in the improv group and then swiftly after the people in the sketch group but then going together was where it had spread where it had spread and then we went up to skidmore and i was just so happy and excited to be out of the closet again and so drunk and so drunk and then so then after the shows happened um we went to this little cabin in the woods where we had this party and then I just got hammered truly hammered and then Neal was talking to some

nice person outside on the deck and then I just amble out and I go takes focus hey Neal Casey guess what I'm a big old homo and Neal Casey, that's great.

That's great. And Neil was very nice about it but was terrified, I'm sure. So Neil was one of the first people I came out to. That's a beautiful memory. Oh, and what a wonderful, I mean, just the, he's so great. Just the best. I love him. I never met him. Oh, really? Oh, he's so nice. And I never will.

You never will. I'm gone now. That's a little story. Oh, really? Oh, he's so nice. And I never will. You never will. Go on now. It's a little story. Oh, we've gone through a lot of college origin stories. And we never talked about A League of Their Own. Oh, we never did. Well, okay. Let's just talk quickly about A League of Our Own before we get into I Don't Think So,

Honey. What's the best scene of A League of Our Own? Milky white breasts. Okay. Which I need to explain. No, I mean, that's, it's not the, honestly, I think it's, it's not the, maybe not the best scene, but to me, it really affected me. It's, there's a girl, a woman on the team who cannot read.

And she, of course, Madonna helps her read. Yes, of course. And they're at the back of the bus. And of course, Madonna has like read yes of course and they're at the back of the bus and it's and of course madonna has like a racy book yeah and so she's reading and she's like milky white breasts and she learns to read through this like erotica book i love that yeah i have to say my favorite scene is has anyone seen my new red hat just like the actress killing it with one line they're having this like dramatic scene and then has anyone seen my new red hat and what does gina

davis say oh piss on your hat yes by the way have you seen thelma and louise no it was so nice to have abra oh no i lost on that one you must see thalma and louise okay have you seen thalma and louise no i'll be announcing my new co-host um you guys have to see thalma and louise oh my god g Gina Davis, Susan Sarandon, pre-Insanity. Yeah. But you must. Oh my God, it's so good. Does it count that I, do you guys,

did you ever watch French and Saunders, the sketch show with Jennifer Saunders and Don French, two amazing British women? Not Donna French? Not Donna French.

Oh gosh. She's a huge Jennifer Saunders fan. Yes. I would watch it every now and then. So obviously Ab Fab and then the other a huge Jennifer Saunders fan. Yes. I would watch it every now and then. So obviously Ab Fab. Yes.

And then the other duo that Jennifer Saunders, so French and Saunders, but they did a lot of movie parodies and they did Velma and Louise. And it's super, it's just even not seeing the movie, it's super funny because like the whole thing is the fact that they're shooting it in England and it's cold and it's like in a convertible and and they keep referencing the fact that the camera is like hanging on the side like it's just a great i love melma and louise we had to watch in college stop i was studying screenwriting in college and they they put it on because it was like this is a great example of a script. And we watched it, and it was one of the first times

that I was crying in a movie in a real way and thought about it for many hours afterwards and didn't think I was going to get emotional. And all of a sudden, really was. And Billy Domino, whose birthday it is today. Happy birthday, Billy. Happy birthday, Billy. Yes, his birthday is today.

And he looked over at me and was like, wow, this is beautiful to see. Oh. Did that effect ruin it? Well, now I can't think of the movie without thinking of him laughing at me crying. So in a way, it's kind of... Oh, he wasn't making fun of you? I think so.

I mean, I think so to some extent. Also, callback, I never got into Brad Pitt. That's fine. Well, you know, I never got into Brad Pitt. That's fine. Well, you know, I got into him when he got a little bit beefier. Oh, okay. Which fits to a T.

Which I would say the closest I got into him was that peanut butter scene in this one where he's the devil or like dead? Death. What am I thinking of?

Oh, wait. Mitchell Black. Yes. It's the most like he's like basically playing like a British boy. Yeah, kind of. He's deaf. He comes back and tries to take Anthony Hopkins. Yeah.

And he falls in love with Claire for Claire for Lonnie. And oh my God, I was just going to say rule number 107 of culture. If you don't know Claireire forlani you're not a culturista i mean must know claire forlani another callback because last night i googled it dana reeves wow wow this is beautiful yeah i watched a video on youtube that was called keanu reeves girlfriend and it just counted it down sandra bullock right sandra bullock absolutely yeah yeah yeah wow sandra bullock a lot of celebrities she dated she dated ryan gosling before he was like ryan gosling absolutely and then i will say this is not to throw shade at

sandra who i think is truly amazing and i actually think somehow underrated. Yes. Okay, what's going on? I'm scared. I question her because of the Jesse James thing. I'm like, what is that? Yeah, like how did that happen? How did that happen? Honestly, doesn't that happen too often that like some amazing, talented, beautiful woman dates some like piece of shit? Loser.

Bing bong? Yeah. I mean, I don't know who Kenny Chesney is and what he's all about, but he's another one where I was like, Renee Zellweger mean, I don't know who Kenny Chesney is and what he's all about, but he's another one where I was like, Renee Zellweger, what'd you do? I know Kenny Chesney.

I went to a concert of his one time. And also Kenny Chesney is probably in my top five. One time I read an article with him when I was like 11 and very susceptible to this. And he said, I actually have 6% body fat. And I was like, hot. Damn it,

man. Now here's the thing. Are you into him with his hat off no yep that's the thing that's gotta stay on has to stay on same thing with probably tim mcgraw oh tim mcgraw's a good one with the hat on with the hat off but you take that hat off don't take that hat off he in the blind side put the hat back on never saw the blind side he was in the blind side missed literally nothing oh my god sand Never saw the blind side. He was in the blind side? Missed literally nothing. Oh my God.

Missed Sandra Bullock like, my name's Leanne Toohey and I am, stop my foot, Tim McGraw's gonna raise this child and save this town. That's her husband in it, right? Her husband is Tim McGraw.

That's so stupid. Oh my God. Sorry, I have to segue to another man who blows my mind because that made me think of Friday Night Lights and that Kyle Chandler is...

Oh, Kyle Chandler. Hundo P. But that's some American flavor in there for all of Friday Night Lights and that Kyle Chandler is... Hundo P. Ugh. But that's some American flavor in there for opera. American flavor. Yeah, that is... Every once in a while, I love a good old American. Hot dog and ketchup.

No, I just want to say one thing about Jennifer Saunders. Oh. She is the only good thing about the Shrek franchise, I think. Oh. Shrek? She played Fairy Godmother. That's right. Oh, yeah. I don't think she's the only good thing about Shrek.

Shrek's wonderful. Uh-oh. Shrek 2, though. Shrek 1, John Lithgow, amazing. Even, like, yeah, no, you know what? Shrek, the first movie, Shrek is great. Cameron D. Cameron D. So, Mike Mize, no? Mike Mize. Oh, no, you gotta love Mike Mize. You gotta love Mike Mize. But by the second movie, I was like, okay.

But then Jennifer Saunders brought that fresh new villain factor. And she sang that cover of Holding Out for a Hero. Oh, that was her? That was her. I never saw Shrek 2 because I wanted to keep Shrek 1 pure. Yeah. Guys, Shrek 2, great soundtrack. Dashboard confessional.

Gotta love. Gotta love. It's so good. I'm a real dashboard queen. Oh. Yeah. gotta love it's so good i'm a real dashboard queen oh yeah um mike myers call back to one of my first ever crushes dana carvey in wayne's world oh yeah cutie i was in love with garth as was i bill murray in ghostbusters i named my ken peter for peter vancouver because he was like I was like he's so hot little Peter Venkman Peter Venkman Ken

yeah yeah yeah love yeah. Love them. Yeah. With their little white sunglasses being douches. Love them. So Long Island. Okay, let's move on to I Don't Think So Honey. We gotta do I Don't Think So Honey. Now.

Oh my gosh. Up. You've heard the show. You know I Don't Think So Honey. Sometimes we don't always prepare, but I do have one prepared. Do you have one prepared? No, I don't. Do you want to go first?

All right. Do you have one that you're going to do? you're gonna do okay well it's okay because that's commonplace okay all right i do have one that i'm gonna do and i'm excited about it and i'm gonna get my stance i don't think so honey for everyone out there listening is our chance to take one minute on the clock to rail on something in culture that's really grinding our ears and getting it we get into all the culture and we You listen all the doodah day. So here we go. I don't think so, honey. Matt Rogers. Time starts now.

I don't think so, honey. Walt Disney World, the Hall of Presidents ride, specifically, y'all are going through a refurbish right now. Refurbishment right now. So you can put

Donald Trump, the animatronic, in there. I say, I don't think so, honey. Bitch, I am not about these little

children who come to Magic Kingdom for enjoyment, having to sit into the Hall of Presidents and listen to that motherfucker, I say it's not okay, you wanna put him in there to preserve the legacy of the ride, that's fine, he better not speak, what are you gonna say, grab him by the pussy in front of little Sally Susan, she's there to go on Splash Mountain, she's waiting for her fast pass time, she goes over by Hall of Presidents, walks on in because you know it never has a line because the ride sucks. Why don't you shut it down?

She goes in there. She's got to listen to Donald Trump. I don't think so, honey. Walt Disney World, you need to take a stance. If you can't serve alcohol in the Magic Kingdom,

you better not be serving up Donald Trump's bullshit. I have to say I'm disappointed. I'm enraged. I have fury. And I will boycott the Hall of presidents i won't boycott magic kingdom because what am i nuts i have to go but like i don't think so honey hall of presidents

oh and that's one minute oh my gosh i purposely did not prep and now my heart is beating so fast that's a good one i had to get that out good, you guys, please sign my change.org petition that I started yesterday called No Donald Trump animatronic speech in the Hall of Presidents. I will. I really started it. I don't know if that's up to the government necessarily. It's up to Walt Disney World. I signed it and it's going to Walt Disney World Company.

It's not we the people. I think that, you know, classically, George W. Bush had a speech. Bill Clinton had a speech. Barack Obama had a speech. And all the incumbent presidents go in there and they record a speech specifically for the ride. No Donald Trump speech. Can I just point out one fatal flaw in that? I don't think so, honey.

That fatal flaw, or I guess inaccuracy. Hall of Presidents doesn't have Fast Pass. Well, I wasn't saying that. I was saying they're waiting for their Fastpass to come in on Splash Mountain. If you listen back to I Don't Think So, Honey, that'll be clear. Okay, honey, let's roll the tape at home when you listen to this. Gosh, this is also because I now wish we had like another hour to talk about how like I'm a huge Walt Disney World fan. No, Oprah.

Oh, my God. You have to come back i i literally i just i know because i watched the vids i've been watching your videos and they were the best thing in the world and the whole time i was like i wish i was there i wish i was invited we have to do it why don't we do another trip we have to do another trip because i will i don't care when i will be there people have been coming out of the woodwork that sang their Disney fans. I'm like, where were you before? No, not in the woodwork at all. Just we hadn't had a chance to talk about it.

You're right. You're right. Honestly, we must go. And also, how do you feel about Universal Studios? No. I don't think so, honey. I don't think so. I would go for Harry Potter World,

but I don't want to go. You don't want to ride the movies? You don't want to ride the movies? That's insane. Who doesn't want to ride the movies? They come to life. I want to spend all my time in Disney World. Well.

Leave me over there. Wow. Listen, I'll consider it. Oh, God. I'm just saying the transportation over there is a full mess. And also, they're all about the bottom line these days. Who? Disney.

It's a fucking mall. Oh, no. It's a mall. As if it weren't before. Well, I will say, I don't know. This is a whole other episode. Okay. You haven't been to Universal Studios.

I've never been. Wait. Then, Albra, you gotta go. Gotta go. When we go, we'll take Studios. I've never been. Wait. Then, Albra, you gotta go. Gotta go. When we go, we'll take you. I've never been. And I will change your world. Because when we went, we did Disney and then last minute game time decision to decide we

were going to Universal. We did both parks in one day. That's insane. Because I was like, come on, boys. Let's go. We're going on the next ride. I will tell you the biggest gag in the entire trip. Biggest gag.

Was first, equal ranking. First was Gringotts. Also first was the Mummy the Ride. Mummy the Ride. You're going up. Brendan Fraser realness. Brendan Fraser realness. You're going up just, you know, like an incline slowly, like as you would normally expect in a coaster.

This is the moment of my life. Moment of my life. But then it's a fake out. You speed up into the mouth of Imhotep and you basically. Fly out of my life. Moment of my life. But then it's a fake out. You speed up into the mouth of Imhotep and you basically fly out of your chair. You fly out of your chair and then all of a sudden you see Imhotep's giant face and then you fly into the mouth. Your souls are mine. Come on. Come on.

Oh, I gagged. I gagged for Phil. Okay, girls. It's Bowen Yang's I Don't Think So Honey. I don't know about this one. He never prepares. And it's always still great because he has that Dangerbox improv background. Which you would have experienced had I got it.

I will also say, Abra, if this is bad, it's because you were Bowen's 101 teacher. And I have to thank Ben Rogers for my I Don't Think So Honey. Wow, yes. Wherever you are, haven't spoken to you in seven years. Stakes are high for both me and Aubrey on this. Here we go. And Bowen Yang's I Don't Think So Honey starts now. I Don't Think So Honey, NBC News and MSNBC and all NBC affiliates, honey.

I Don't Think So Honey for giving Megyn Kelly a full hour slot on the Today Show. I just learned about this. Matt just told me about this before we were recording I don't think so honey do not give a platform to this woman who is an opportunist feminist honey she did she spoke out against women taking maternity

leave she spoke out against you know women and feminist issues until it affected her until she had a baby honey and then she started to speak out against it, honey. I don't think so, honey. Megyn Kelly, I don't think so, honey. Giving Greta Van Susteren a new show? No siree, Bob.

I don't think so, honey. Greta Van Susteren, I don't want to hear her takes on shit. She's not a good journalist. You know what, Greta? I will give Greta this credit. She does ask some good questions. She grills her guests. But give me Rachel Maddow all day, all night, 24 hours a day. But I don't think so, honey.

Greta and what's her face? Megyn Kelly. No, honey. No, I don't want to see that. That was one of my worst. I don't think so, honey. No, I loved it. It was good.

You got a little off game because it was about Megyn Kelly. And then all of a sudden it became about Greta. And then it became about, it was NBC News. It was a little unfocused. But you know what? Your passion was amazing. Yes. I had.

Yeah. Thank you. It was incredible. It was great. And it's true. Thank you very much. It's true. Megyn Kelly is all up in that NBC Today show gig.

I mean, look. Oh, God. She's getting a whole hour. Look, and I'm sure Megyn Kelly trotted down the mall today for the March for Life or whatever the fuck that was. Oh, God. Right. Okay. Well, not to get too political.

No. But, um. We're anti-life here on Los Gatos. We're pro-death. Pro-death. You have to just be transparent about it. Absolutely. All right, Abra. It's time. Oh, my God. death you have to just be transparent about it absolutely all right oh my god i just thought of

one and it's now compared to what you're gonna you talked about it's not gonna it's gonna seem very shallow but here no it's shallower the batter and here we go here we go back i don't think so honey starts now i don't think so honey spotify you are a fucking joke i hate you so much you are so expensive also here's the reason i don't like you your playlists are terrible you have the same 10 pop songs i need new pop i need fresh pop and you play the same songs you say this one's teen pop you say this one's top 40 no no no it's the same sean mendez song over and over and over. I don't think so, honey. Check out Pandora and how they have some sort of algorithm going on that gets me tons of sweet, sweet jams.

Also, I love your 80s playlist. Who knew there was so much great pop music? It is so good, although your commercials are a terrible. Spotify, you also wouldn't give me a student discount. I'm currently enrolled in Sketch 201 at the UCB Theater. You would not give it to me. I contacted sheer ID to get my discount. You refused me saying it wasn't a Title IX accredited university.

And so I could not get that discount. I don't think so, honey. Spotify, you are overrated, expensive, and you do not have the best music. That's one minute. Oh, my God. You need to take that up with Kevin Hines. I literally have i can't believe oh my god i love spotify but you were right you just revealed so much i'm in

like a relationship that's not good with spotify the playlists suck the playlists really do suck and i have had spotify i'll have it for a month. I'll turn it off. I tried Apple Music. And the problem with Apple Music is that it just like... It doesn't work. Yeah. And then when you have your own music on your iPhone, just like weird stuff happens and their playlists aren't that good. And Pandora, honestly, it surprises me.

And I love it. Right. But I... But it's not on demand. Yeah. And the sound quality is not as good it's like weirdly like sounds a little tinny i love my tunes well here's the deal i feel like spotify works for me because i i like to get obsessed with one song and listen to it 50 times in a row

right so with the pandora i don't think i could do that because i would want to keep listening to the song again and again that's just like how i am and then it would shake it up and well that's the thing i'm trying to understand about my musical day is this because i feel like i do the same thing and it's like should i just buy that song right and then when i want to like listen and bop around do a little pandora when i'm usually like in my apartment but when it comes down to it i listen to probably the same one song two songs over and over again for a period of time and i'm like might as well just buy it right i have an instinct to ask you a question yes britney or christina britney thank you thank you abram wow that's a little um plug for uh matt i'm sure that matt and i are doing that that's coming up

we're about to do a show mateo lane and christy cello are hosting a show at union hall called battle of the divas britney versus christina and bonwin is repping britney spears and i'm repping christina aguilera oh my gosh i'm there gonna be a battle for ages what's oh i'm gonna see it's i believe it is february 22nd at union hall 22nd at Union Hall. February 22nd at Union Hall. That's a little plug for the kids. Yes. This has been so fun. Oh, my God. What a joy. I mean, I had high expectations, but also this exceeded all of them. Abra, we love you so much. We fucking love Abra.

I'm genuinely sad we have to stop. This is so much fun. Well, you know, we must have you back to talk about Disney World. And you can tell us all about your gags and don'ts. And who knows if by the next time Amber comes on, well, maybe the three of us have gone to Disney World together. That's what I wanted you to say. And then you said, come on the podcast.

I was like, yes, but I also want you to invite me to come to you. But here's what I'm saying. Recently, we were discussing about maybe going in March. And we're not going to go in March. And I'm happy about that. Because why would we go in March when Avatar Land is coming to Animal Kingdom in the summer? What is that?

Why the fuck would I spend my money now and miss out on the Flight of Passage? Okay. And Avatar Land, where you can ride a beast. And we're going to corral a bunch of other comedians. Also, segue, never saw Avatar. Ooh. You didn't miss much. Probably fine.

Yeah. The best part of Avatar is Leona Lewis' song. I see you. Which no one, it didn't become a hit. It didn't become a hit. Try to be the next My Heart Will Go On. Why not? I don't know.

I think people just don't like Leona. Honestly, Bleeding Love might be one of the best pop songs ever. Bleeding Love is so good. Bleeding Love. Watch. Now that's going to be. Bleeding Love is so good. Bleeding Love. Watch, now that's going to be the only song I listen to for weeks. Yes. Thank you, Spotify. I lived and gagged for Bleeding Love.

So good. When nothing's greater than the rest that comes with your embrace. Who doesn't love it? Guys, we got to own up to the fact that America should love Leona Lewis. Another amazing Brit. Yep. Amazing Brits. gotta own up to the fact that america should love leona lewis another amazing brit yep amazing brits um oh what what was what was our proposed title of the episode that right that true that true girl that true that true leona lewis that's true you know what and you know what's true abra tayback amazing this is so fun so I love you both so much.
