holiday
you were the one
and I'm sorry
I didn't mean to
once again
co-opt one of your phrases
because you walked in
with our guest
and you said
holiday vibes
and I said
he's right
I don't think of it
as my phrase
I think of it
as our phrase
I think of it
as Las Culturistas
well I think not to bring up phrase. I think of it as Las Custas Terenas.
Well, I think,
not to bring up work,
but I feel like I'm very fastidious about credit,
where credit should go.
And like,
that was,
you said that.
Like that,
credit goes to you
because that is your-
Thank you for lifting me up.
But I'm just saying,
if you want to get on the podcast
and say holiday vibes
because it's a holiday vibe.
Yeah.
That's just,
I don't own that.
That's, I share that. That's about what the holidays are all about sharing and giving the gift of a phrase
and you but see it's just you are a pump of phrases that i love being described as a pump
you have no idea what that did it is it is is. I'll have a better day. Miracle worker vibes.
The pump.
Down.
Me.
I am Helen.
I am the other one.
I'm either of them.
I'm the damn Keller family.
Yeah.
Going to the pump and saying,
what's this?
A phrase?
A phrase?
Basically, that's you described how Helen Keller sort of came to be.
Do you believe that Helen Keller
was carrying?
Do you think she was carrying down?
Well, what was she giving?
She was giving lessons, Mama.
She was giving iconography.
Giving iconography.
Giving, let's just say, when you see a young girl bent over a faucet.
A pump, really.
That's why I brought up Miss Keller.
And I'm saying, you iconically know what that image is.
You're like, that's Miss Ann Sullivan, who was her name.
No, Ann Sullivan?
Annie Sullivan, the teacher, the miracle worker herself.
No, it's not Ann Sullivan.
Literally, do you want to bet $25?
I'll bet you $25.
Annie Sullivan.
Okay, hold on, reader, hold on.
While he looks, I just want to say, we're in a Brooklyn podcasting studio.
The energy is hot, holiday vibes alive.
We're here with,
we say hot engineer a lot.
We've got a hot, hot engineer.
It's hot engineer Walter, everybody.
He's, okay, he's just,
he's making, he's throwing his hands up.
Okay, I own that $25.
Oh my God.
Who could forget?
And Bancroft, I forgot it.
And Bancroft as Annie Sullivan.
Can I say something?
Keep your money.
Babe, we made a bet.
I'm a man of my word.
You know how I said before about how we
share the phrases of the giving and the gifting and the receiving
and the that? And whose phrase is keep your money?
Whose is that? Was I going to say? Sorry.
Both of ours. I'm telling you, we share it all.
And I'm saying that it also
goes with the money. My money is your money,
girl. Girl.
And I feel the same for you.
How many versions of The Miracle Worker
did you have to watch in elementary school?
Well, definitely.
You know what my favorite time was?
Whenever in English class,
you would read a play.
And then you would watch it?
No, you would act it out.
Like, okay, today,
you're going to play The Crucible,
like the lead guy on The Crucible.
Yeah, what were your plays? Well, we definitely did The Crucible, like the lead guy on The Crucible. Yeah, what were your plays?
We definitely did The Crucible,
and we definitely did The Miracle Worker,
which is why I say.
Really? Those are interesting.
Those are interesting choices.
And I'm telling you,
those were my favorite days when you get to act.
You get to do the play.
But sometimes they are frustrating
because some kids, and we can say it,
not readers.
Not readers.
Well, as in they didn't actually read the text.
No, as in they struggle reading the words. Yeah, yeah. Famously, young kids, they didn't actually read the text no as in like
they struggle
reading the words
yeah
famously
young kids
they're learning to read
absolutely
and also
a lot of actors
we know
not that we know
but it's like
drag them
I'm just saying
the longer you work
in this business
the more you go
oh I didn't know
that famous person
has trouble reading
and I don't think
it's a dyslexia thing
no no no
some people just
aren't good at cold reads.
Some of the best actors in the world, that's not the way they internalize.
Oh, I'm so bad at the cold read.
You feel this way? Can I just quickly share
my plays in high school? Yes.
They were, we did, well, we did West Side Story
in the eighth grade, which was my favorite.
Oh my God. And that's like, it really did solidify
like why, the reason why
West Side Story is my favorite show, musical.
Rachel. Which is so basic.
Rachel Ziegler vibes.
And then in high school,
we did Streetcar Named Desire,
which I also loved.
Same.
But I,
we all had to,
everyone had to be Stanley
or a Blanche or a Stella.
And I had to be like Marlon.
I had to be like Stanley
and it was humiliating.
Because you,
because I had to play Mask.
Well,
yes,
you're playing Mask,
whatever.
Also,
it just sucks as a gay individual. Because you want Because I had to play Mask. Well, yes, you're playing Mask, whatever. Also, it just sucks as a gay individual.
Because you want to play Blanche so badly.
Probably like being-
Probably see a flop playing Blanche.
Oh my God.
It was flop parade down.
Not giving, not carrying, not holding no thing.
There's nothing more humiliating when a girl can't give Blanche in class.
It's so fucking humiliating. You know who't give Blanche in class. It's so
fucking humiliating. You know who could
give Blanche down? Who?
Our guests. Our guests.
And this is the summer of
Cuckoo. The Tennessee Williams muse. This is, I've
never seen more Blanche energy.
That's insulting to an extent.
Well, no. Okay, wait. Actually, the more I
think about it, what I'm saying is
when I look over at our guests, it is the iconic you that's the word i'm searching for icon icon our guests

I want to do the Letterman thing of our next Guest Needs No Introduction.
And you just did it.
And now we said it.
And now we said it.
Because if you listen to the podcast for any number of years, it's had to be for at least
a couple years for this to be exciting for you that we're entering another, that we've
been in another summer of cunt.
And that we have our guest here with us to really process it, unpack it.
We couldn't be more thrilled.
This is one of those days where you smile all day.
And then you get to sort of the moment.
And you've just been smiling so much.
You've been smiling so much.
And as my tears come to my eyes, people have been asking for this.
Oh, you wouldn't believe the requests.
And it's here.
And it's here.
At the sort of, we could say end of the summer.
Well, we're at an interesting time.
We're at the sort of the twilight of it, you know?
And in this twilight of summer,
we begin Summer of Cunt 4
by bringing in the queen,
the iconic Blanche,
a watershed human. Welcome our guest,
Sudie Green!
I've always relied on the kindness
of strangers.
Name another legend.
It's too bright in this room!
It's so bright! You definitely played Blanche
in school. Oh my god, no, I didn't.
But I remember my freshman
year at NYU. First of all thank you for
recognizing me as an african um african born i am the diaspora i carry it with me every day
but i did my freshman year we did street car my freshman year at nyu we we read street car
and i'll never forget this is like my second week at NYU.
And my professor goes, the first lines of the play.
And I'm doing like an incredible impression of him.
And he like kind of had like this like very big head and kind of pointed with like a T-Rex.
I think I remember this guy. I think I had him too.
He sounds hot.
This play, first lines are, here, meet, catch catch it and he's primal and it's sexual
and i was like wow i'm about to get educated yeah absolutely and it's hot oh and the air is hot
this guy is a front runner for best teacher we ever had yeah his name start with an R last name was an R
Robert something
yeah
Rangeli
maybe
we're naming names
first and last
he was not wrong
it was
but definitely
there was a Rangeli
famously Sudi and I
were in the same program
and
I really
I really just like
will misty-eyed
I'm just
I get misty-eyed
listening to you guys
talk about that time in your lives because I'm just like I mean we've done this literally every summer kind of episode wherey-eyed I'm just I get misty-eyed listening to you guys talk about that time
in your lives
because I'm just like
I mean we've done this
literally every summer
kind of episode
where you guys
where I'm like
what was that like
because I really don't
everybody wants to hear
people who went to NYU
relive those days
that is
especially other comedians
they love it
really want to hear about
kids that went to NYU
and what it was like
oh my god
they want to they want to sort of live vicariously in that experience.
And also, talk about your musical sketch group that you were all in.
Oh, my God.
You know what I remember today and I told someone?
Oh, no.
We were really kicked out of a musical theater improv group.
You and I, that's right.
We really were, bitch.
And that's funny.
That's funny.
I think that's hilarious.
I would, no, I'm so much happier.
You were great at it.
I was horrible.
They kicked us both out
because we both, I guess,
lacked what it was,
the technique of musical improv.
Which is...
It is a technique.
Yeah, but girl,
we were carrying down.
You saw Happy Karaoke Fun Time,
which, by the way,
that was its name.
I don't think I did.
She didn't come.
Let's not drag this wonderful't come let's not drag
this wonderful
you know
shared effort
in that group
you're right
it was incredible
wonderful people
yeah let's talk about
the fact that
I wasn't accepted
into Dangerbox
yeah
your improv group
so actually
kind of
you kind of
Happy Karaoke
Funtime'd me
you did
I didn't
no I did not
invite
no what happened for Happy Karaoke Funtime I can You did. No, I did not invite. No, what happened for Happy Karaoke Fun Time,
I can't believe we're talking about this.
What happened with Happy Karaoke Fun Time
was that Matt and I were asked,
were invited to join.
Explain the premise of the musical theater.
So musical improv,
it's what it sounds like.
You know, sometimes,
typically you have a pianist or a musician
on the side of the stage
kind of like playing like a random chord progression
and then people in the scene
will have to. But this show was different.
This show was
at any random chord progression and then typically
musicians will, the improvisers will
improvise the melody, the verse,
the chorus, whatever.
For this it was
just like karaoke tracks to
already established
songs.
So you were doing like pop songs.
So you were doing like parodies.
And then you had to like memorize,
you were doing parodies.
Classically my favorite form of comedy.
The highest form.
Take the song and make it a little bit different.
Make it funny.
And I gotta tell you,
when I walked into SNL,
I was like, fucking parodies.
Like the parodies I have to my name.
The parodies and puns.
You just get to that point when you're at SNL where you're just like
you start and you're being like I hate puns
like the only observation behind like word humor
word play is that like
words sound like other words and I'm
like an observation and then like cut to you
being like what rhymes
with Trump.
Pump!
Girl pump. Girl pump. It's actually
rule of culture number 33 pump rhymes
with trump
now
this
so on a technical level
I don't think you've done
that many parodies
is that true
murder dirter is a parody
no I'm saying
song parody
no you really haven't
those are always
original songs
you guys write
I feel like
the show overall
doesn't even do them
can I say one thing
I think there's something
to like when so sort of what we were really doing feel like the show overall doesn't even do them can i say one thing i think there's something too
like when so so sort of what we were really doing was like me me musical theater improv
it was so it was well it was that um we had to learn the the like let it go we would have like
five songs remember what it was it was like five songs would be in rotation and we would have to
learn them like i didn't like let's say I didn't know Sweet Child of Mine.
Right.
I would be like, I guess I got to learn the melody.
And that was
an element that made it even more difficult
than traditional. It was hard.
So what happened was we were summarily asked
to leave after two rehearsals in one show.
And that was it.
Do you want me to give you a word?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. Ask for it okay
okay so we are
we are
two younger
two younger
and we need
we need
all we need is a word
no do you remember when we did
do improv
as Grey's Anatomy drag
wait
no
before we
before we do this scene
oh my god
Bowen and I
have to confess to something
we one time did well I asked you I have to confess to something. We one time did...
Well, I asked you,
I was booked for Josh and Aaron's show,
a gay show for all people to do plucks.
I was scared out of my mind.
I did not prepare anything for the show.
I asked you the day before,
Matt, you have to help me out.
And I was in a creative loop.
I like did not know what to do with myself.
And I was just like,
Matt, let's just,
I'm going to,
let's go to the Story Pirates closet, get some lab coats
and some wigs and let's just do
Grey's Anatomy drag.
We bombed
so hard. It was really awful.
Like it was like, because this, it was going to
be, Bowen and I were coming out as
I think, Meredith and Christina, but
I looked more like Izzy.
So like the thing is we were set, we're Meredith and Christina, but it was so clearly more like Izzy is the thing so like the thing is
we said we're Meredith and Christina
but it was so clearly Izzy
so already the bit was like
could have been a model
yeah that's really what happened
the wig was so blonde
so already the bit was weird
sometimes people don't want to laugh
at beautiful people
because people were like
that's Izzy
because you're too hot
they're not going to laugh at you
I was like too like
Katherine Heigl
and so I was obviously crying out too
I was an incredible crier
like doing
carrying down
I cut Danny Ducat's all that.
I'd write that.
I did.
I did.
I didn't know what help meant.
So then, I thought I was a surgeon, but I can't.
I thought I was a surgeon, but I'm not.
So I quit.
Izzy.
Izzy.
Well, I guess that puts an end to the evening.
Meredith.
Meredith.
Pompeo face.
What an incredible finale.
It's a front runner
for a lot of awards.
It really is, Bo.
And actually,
I think that we have to talk about
potentially chasing cars the song,
getting the WandaVision award
for television.
Absolutely.
Oh my God.
It's a serious front runner.
Great campaigning
for that category
has been I Love Lucy
in the grape stomping.
Yes.
You know,
that's a good one.
Really good one.
Anyway,
we're re-reading off topic.
We fully bombed.
We bombed Grey's Anatomy,
Drag Improv.
We bombed it
Happy Karaoke Fun Time,
but can we get a suggestion
for a word?
Yeah,
from our storied improv career,
let's do it.
I can't believe this.
Shonda.
Okay.
Okay.
Shonda's got a smile
That it seems to me
Reminds me of year of
Yes
How to get away with murder
And Bridgerton anal sex
Was there
Go
She wrote a book about saying yes
Because she said yes many times.
That's how she got a busy schedule.
Never sees her family.
That was as funny as it ever could have been.
It couldn't.
And then literally.
I'm saying the shows themselves.
That was the lowest feeling on the comedy.
Yeah.
Did you guys write that?
Because it feels written?
Because it feels like you guys wrote it. Wait, the joke. Did we just fucking slay. Yeah. Did you guys write that? Because it feels written? Because it feels like
you guys wrote it.
Wait,
did we just fucking slay?
Yeah,
I feel like it was so good
that I thought you guys wrote it
and I actually think that
this was so good
that it was written
and SNL is so good
that they have to be improvising.
Oh my God.
That's clearly what it is.
I'm always like wondering
how do they get so funny?
It must be just because
they get a lot of funny people together
to just sort of mess around.
Aren't you guys just like messing around?
Is your work just like,
you guys messing around?
That is some of it.
Wait, we have to say,
we were at dinner the other night
and the waiter pitched us a sketch.
Oh, no.
No, I'm sorry,
but we have to say it.
And it was,
don't pitch a sketch.
You guys, come on,
don't pitch a sketch.
It was hard.
And I think he learned a valuable lesson that night.
I don't think he did.
I think he might have because the embarrassment was so palpable.
I felt terrible, but I also didn't feel bad for setting that boundary.
Because I will say that this was like a young man that I, a young confident man that I wanted to teach like,
I wanted to teach like a mother.
You know what I mean?
You wanted to care for him.
I really wanted to like explain to him like,
I totally know where you're coming from.
And this is the way to do it.
And I'm going to tell you the way to do it,
but it wasn't like appropriate.
No.
And then at the end, I panicked.
And he said, can I pitch you guys a sketch?
And I went like this.
Please don't.
And we did all laugh because it was funny.
And I honestly, I was shook because when he asked the question, I was like, oh, my God, I'm assessing myself right now in the situation.
And I know I'm going to like be like, yeah.
And you being like like please don't and it being a funny moment i thought was the perfect way to handle that because
we didn't have to hear it and we tipped him big i told him i told him please don't let us tip you
first yes yes let us tip you first and then you know we'll all have a good night or something
like that and then i told him later that you know oh you can't tell us because even if it's good, we can't use it because we'll get sued.
Yeah, you'll sue us.
Which is true.
Which is so true.
But I did, you know, it's just a lose-lose.
Like, there's no good way to get it.
And I totally get it because I was young and I saw Nora Ephron eating in a pan quotidian.
And I thought, like, this is my moment.
She's going to see me writing in a notebook and be like, hey, what are you writing?
I'm engaging.
You know, like, hey, I want to know what she.
What's this girl about?
What's she writing?
She's wearing Uggs that her mom got to Target and they're not Uggs.
They're Koopa Cobras or whatever.
Let's talk to this writer.
You know, and I thought I really thought that.
Now, I wasn't like a young man
and so I didn't walk up to her
in that moment
and be like,
I'm a writer too.
But there is just something.
I was talking about this
with Julio last night.
He was talking about how
his first year moving to New York
volunteered at the Tribeca Film Festival
to watch films
because he was like,
and then he thought,
because he genuinely
thought at the time
if I do a good job
maybe they'll ask me
to submit a movie.
Yeah.
The Cinderella story.
Yes, of course.
And then I was like
this is for me
like high school,
middle school.
I'm going to go into Hollister
and fold up some of the clothes
that are like unfolded
and maybe they'll ask me
to work there.
Totally.
Totally.
Where does that come from?
I don't know.
Somebody,
there has to be something
in like media
or something like
our parents told us
that was like that happens
or are you just like
a fucking young idiot?
I don't know.
I think he was just,
this guy was just young
the other night.
I think he was also like,
you know,
maybe,
maybe like,
I think he genuinely
thought he had a funny sketch
on his hands.
He probably did.
And you know what?
Maybe this is the crazy part.
Is that had Nora Ephron come up to you,
she would have discovered that you were one of the most talented writers
that is in the world.
And so maybe what we fucked up about
is that we were talking to the next Lorne.
Well, this is what I think
is like the fantasy. I've thought about
this a lot because
not to be a bitch, but I've been in summer.
This is summer of cunt. I know.
Don't be a bitch, be a cunt. I'm gonna get cunt.
We're not saying not to be when it's summer of cunt.
No, no, no. Right. That's the thing. Exactly.
Charizard. Well, okay.
So I've had a lot of experiences where you walk into a room full of,
very lucky to have these experiences,
that you walk into a room full of like your heroes.
Yes.
Like the ultimate.
We're so lucky.
And there is this fantasy that I have,
and I think a lot of people have,
where it's like when you are to meet, like,
one time I was, walked into a room, and it was Martin Short and Catherine O'Hara.
Wow.
And then who is, God, I can't believe I'm forgetting her name.
She's also a Second City, Canada person.
Andrea Martin. Not Andrea Martin. City, Canada person. Andrea Martin.
Not Andrea Martin.
No, Andrea Martin.
Andrea Martin.
Andrea.
God, I'm so annoyed.
I forgot her name.
Anyway, so I was working
with Maya and Marty
and I had to give like Marty
a new script
or something like that.
And I was like,
somebody told me like
he's in there with
Catherine O'Hara
and Andrea Martin.
And I was like,
oh my God.
And I was like, can I God. And I was like,
can I go in?
And they're like,
yeah,
go in,
just whatever.
So I like go in to like put my little script,
completely interrupt their conversation,
but also like whatever.
It's my job.
Yeah.
And I'm like,
um,
Marty.
And I tell my little thing and then I just like stand there with like a
big smile.
And then I'm like,
you walk out the door.
And,
and the thing is,
is that that's what it is
that's actually every single interaction
like that. Wait what do you mean like at the end
like you stood there. I stood there for a beat
I smiled. And then you left. And then I left
and in your in my brain
I always have the fantasy of like
oh if I were to be at like the
ultimate dinner table of like everybody
I've ever looked up to and this is the fantasy
is that you sit down and they all go,
Oh,
Sudi,
have you met Sudi?
Kevin O'Hara.
This is Sudi.
And I love her.
And she's brilliant.
And she's the funniest person I've ever met.
And actually,
and actually she's the next you.
And you should love her.
Like she's your daughter.
And Sudi, would you like to eat and drink whatever we're daughter and um sudi would you like to eat and
drink whatever we're eating and drinking and would you like to tell the story and we'll all laugh and
listen but guess what it actually is you walk in you give them the piece of paper you smile and you
leave i love that but and and if they and if they say cute pants then you take that home and you never forget.
Yeah.
Right.
I think that this fantasy is still maybe like
incoming for you though, perhaps.
I have definitely had moments where like
I've been like pinch me.
Like I can't believe like this person I look up to
is saying something nice to me.
I've definitely had those pinch me moments.
But the thing is, is when you're a room of,
when you're in a room of greats, babe,
you don't register and that's
fine. And you know what
you gotta do? You gotta find your own room full of greats
and um, bitch, that's
where I am right now. And I'm including
Walter. Walter, I'm
including you in your floral top.
Where did you get it?
Banana Republic.
One of the great stores.
Sure, sure.
Definitely in competition with us.
We're Bonobo's spokesmodels.
I don't know if you've been on 5th Avenue and 20th.
Check it out, Walter.
You might like what you see.
Like I do right now.
Anyway, floating away from that,
to say I think that for me,
like that happens, and this is not to
like plug but the q and q q force is coming out and for me like when we were sitting when i before
pandemic when sean hayes would come in now i like i'm sort of you know we're friends we text whenever
i like have him reach out to me i'm like this is this is a man that's iconically funny. It's just like, and talk about being one of the very first
truly gay men on television playing a gay character.
Now that I have a relationship with him, that is a pinch me.
I would say that Sean Hayes is low-key one of my great comedic influences
because I was so obsessed with Will and Grace growing up.
And it truly was like I remember watching
like that Thursday night lineup my dad
would always watch Thursday night
and like it was friends into Will and Grace
it was like friends into
Will and Grace into
Frasier or something like that I think friends was first
because Will and Grace was definitely a step up
in terms of it's going to be a little later than that
yeah yeah yeah for sure
I believe it was on a 93030, but I could be lying.
But like Will and Grace was our favorite out of that lineup.
And I have so many, so much of his timing
is just like burned into my brain.
Like there's this one part where like later in the season,
Debra Messing is with Harry Connick Jr.
And he comes back from like Cambodia or something
where he was that he was like doing Doctors Without Borders.
And he shows up with like this woman that he's been sharing like a tent with,
like this like hot woman,
female doctor.
Whole episode,
Sean Hayes,
AKA Jack goes,
I would die.
I would die.
I would die.
Oh my God.
Oh my God. I would die. A would die. Oh my God. Oh my God.
True.
I would die.
A radical show
for its time.
I know it's like
we say that now
and it's like,
oh, ha ha.
It was edgy.
It was edgy.
My favorite Jack moment
is he's wearing this apron
and then I think
Debra Mousen goes
and then it says,
kiss the cook on it.
She goes,
kiss the cook.
And then he goes,
he looks down at it
and goes,
oh.
And then like, the audience loses it. She goes, kiss the cook. And then he goes, he looks down at it and goes, oh. And then like,
the audience loses it.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
And then the audience is going crazy
for like 20 seconds.
Truly,
I mean,
I do love that.
I miss that.
Not to be like,
we need to go back to before.
But like,
what I liked with WandaVision was,
it reminded me
of the live performance
aspect of the sitcoms.
Yes.
Like,
the way Catherine Hara
killed those first,
that first episode,
the way she was like,
her choreo
and her comedy,
like,
traveling and-
Catherine Han.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Catherine Han.
What did I say?
Catherine Hara.
And I was like,
who's this new girl?
No, no, no.
My God, please.
Catherine Ohan.
Catherine Ohan.
Sorry,
that wasn't me.
I'm sorry. No, but honey, when you need to be corrected, you should be. It Ohan. Catherine Ohan. Sorry, that wasn't me. I'm sorry.
No, but honey,
when you need to be corrected,
you should be.
It's actually
really culture number four.
When you need to be corrected,
you should be.
My mother.
My mother.
Honestly, Netta Green.
Netta Green.
That's actually,
you know,
that would be part
of your housewife's conflict.
Like your mom is like,
you know,
that mom.
Well, the thing about my mom
is that she's very correct
but she's kind of always right yes that's the thing
yeah when you need to be corrected
you should be yeah like what I
was saying was like the Catherine hot of it all
like that's a type of performance
now that you know you never get to audition
like honestly like
thank God that like
we got that role paired with that person in
that type of acting environment
because he was so incredible at it.
He's an unbelievable physical comedian.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Like crazy.
Sean.
Sean.
Sean.
Sean.
Gotta come on.
Can I say?
Yeah.
Yes.
You must.
You must.
I talked to him about it.
Oh my God.
That'd be great.
Because I was just going to bring it up.
This is my like,
ethnic analog,
almost,
but not really.
The first time I met BD,
the first time I worked with BD on the pilot for Nora,
I was fully a fan.
I was just like,
can we take a picture together?
And he kind of was like,
sure.
Like at that time.
No, he wasn't.
He was like,
probably so psyched.
He was just like,
no,
I think he would cop to this.
He was just like,
yeah, yeah.
Well, he's a very like, he's a very sedate guy. He's very sedate. And he was just like, no, I think he would cop to this. He was just like, yeah, yeah. Well,
he's a very like,
he's a very sedate guy.
He's very sedate.
He was just like,
at that time,
I was just like some like,
to him,
I was just like some,
some dude.
Yeah.
Like I,
like I hadn't,
I hadn't gotten hired at Estenelia
and I think he just like didn't.
And now he's just like,
maybe he like sends me like
every kind of cheerleading message
every week.
You were his waiter
in the restaurant
pitching a sketch.
He did not know who you were.
And we didn't know
who that young girl was.
If this waiter asked for a picture,
I've been like,
sure,
even though that's unprofessional.
At the restaurant, yeah.
I've been like,
yeah, sure.
Sketch pitching was,
you know,
that wasn't.
I don't want to talk about him too much.
No, no, I feel bad.
I feel bad.
No, no, no, don't feel bad.
No, we're done
talking about her.
We're done. We're talking about the impact of Will and Grace on television and how we watched television and Sean Hayes' abilities as a physical comedian.
And now we've sort of expressed that sentiment.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And BD Wong basically didn't know he was speaking to Jesus at the time.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
No!
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back.
I love that.
I love that.
Oh my gosh.
Welcome.
And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg.
You're recording us?
I am disgusted!
Never in a million years after everything we've been through
did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy.
We were friends!
How could you do this to me?
I don't trust her.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose.
My latest episode is with Jelly Roll.
This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had.
We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13
to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life
transformations. I was a desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot
of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate,
delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't
right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability
for anything in my life.
I was the kid that if you asked what happened,
I immediately started with everything but me.
It took years for me to break that, like years of work.

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, will make headlines everywhere. 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.

Should we do the thing?
Do the thing.
Check in about everyone's Summer of Cunt.
You know, there was a glimmer of us.
I feel like there was the glimmer of real potential of Summer of Cunt there for a hot second.
That's what we're all going through.
I know.
God.
Okay, should I go first?
Go first.
Okay, well.
What's going on with me?
I'm famously moving to LA.
Wow!
So this is a rebirth moment.
It's huge.
Sudi has sort of shed the skin of SNL.
The cocoon of SNL has been sort of cast off.
Thank you, cocoon. Thank you, Chrysalis. Thank you, Chrysalis. Thank you, Chrysalis the cocoon of SNL has been sort of cast off. Thank you, cocoon. Thank you,
Chrysalis. Thank you, Chrysalis.
Cocoon. Yeah, I guess Chrysalis,
right?
I know, it's so
crazy. I don't work
there anymore. But I do
feel like
spiritually, I always will.
It's very fucked up. It is
so, in many ways, who I am.
The fact that I worked there.
Like, it just was my entire life, really.
And, like, it's also, like, a huge part of my identity in a weird way where it's, like, I, you know, know.
You take the good with the bad i think and like plenty of both
yeah and now i'm in a place where i'm like i'm glad i don't work there anymore but i do miss it
and know that i will miss it like i'm like scared of like the first ep back i I don't know if I'll watch, but I want to watch, but I don't know if I will.
You
just make the call
like on the day.
Beep, beep, beep. And then I'm like,
ah. Yeah, I think that you'll find
your boundary with it once you see how
you feel watching it. And also it might be different
every week. I know. I have talked to people
who are like, I don't watch
the episodes, but I watch
clips that I hear about.
But it's also like,
I don't know. I want
to see what people are doing, but
it's so loaded.
It's incredibly loaded. Because I want to see my friends be funny.
This is the thing. It's like, anybody
who works
in, let's say,
who was I talking to recently? But it's anybody like, let's say, who was I talking to recently?
I mean, but it's anybody like,
let's just generalize within our own world.
It's like anybody who works in TV goes home
and they want to not watch production.
And so they watch Housewives.
It's that thing.
And so for you, maybe it's like,
you probably will just be so,
you'll have this incredibly immense top layer of like
awareness of like what went into what you're looking at at any given moment and that just
feels like not pleasant i think what i'll miss is the feeling of in the moment knowing that you can
do it like that that took me a while to get there but i do
feel like in my last like three years i would have moments where i was running around and really busy
but knowing that i could handle what was happening and that really felt like a superpower in a way
it felt like like one time i love echo for this i think this was like one of like the
first i think this was her first year where i was like we didn't really know each other that well
yet but then i was like i love this bitch because she was like you know it's her first year she's
not in the show like a ton you know what i mean she was the first she only knew castman like so
she felt a crushing sense of loneliness i won't speak on her behalf, but I feel like that's what her experience was.
I'm so sorry.
I keep going.
Well, everybody's first year is crushing.
Not to diminish,
but I'm just like,
everybody's first year.
That is how you could describe everybody's first year.
Yes, yes, yes.
No, but this is like,
she had a light show
and she had gone to a store
and she had come in, which is like totally fine to do it
was like you have a huge block no i don't want to say the store okay i don't want to say the store
that's not that's not the store i just i just said a name um and she had come in holding shopping
she was like saw me me knocking on a door.
I think I was talking.
I forget who I was talking to.
Maybe it was Sudeikis.
And she was like,
hi.
And I was like, hi.
And then I go to knock the door.
She goes, okay, she's working.
Okay, she's a woman at work.
And I felt so seen
because that is how I felt.
I felt a little bit like,
okay, I'm being a boss right now.
And then she saw me and I was like, oh, like she's like recognizing this in this moment.
And like it meant a lot to be seen by another woman in that moment when you're about to knock on the door and you're holding your papers.
And like, you know, you're about to this is a lot of this summer of kind.
I wanted to talk about going into rooms and handing out papers because I think that's something that we haven't really gone to.
I love that.
But I just felt like really seen by her in that moment.
I love Echo.
I mean, she literally is stunning inside and out.
God.
What a star.
Godlike.
Can I say something?
The reason, I don't know if this feels too obvious or if it goes without saying
but the reason I think your identity
might feel wrapped up in that job
is because you were
so good at it
and I feel like
we were saying earlier
you can generalize, what's universal about working there
is that in your first year you feel a crushing
when you arrive you feel this crushing sense of loneliness
everyone's reasons for leaving are so, so, so specific.
And there is no universal thing
that like thematically ties them all together.
And so for you to leave and for you to feel this way,
even after you've like,
even as you're about to embark
on this new chapter in your life,
you are leaving in this way that is like bizarre because you're like
you could still do you could do that job for ever yeah that's what's scary about it you could have
been a lifer and i'm actually so glad you this is not to like disparage anybody who's done that or
or i just think for you that is not well i wanted, I wanted to be. I wanted to be. I wanted to be Paula Pell.
I wanted to be.
And I think that I really, you know,
had people respected me at that show
and eventually,
and I feel like I really earned respect,
but I kind of realized at a certain point
that I was like never going to be like
beloved by certain people I was never gonna
be uh anybody's little darling you know what I mean and I was always gonna be a worker and
honestly that um energy not that I need to be like praised or coddled or anything but just feeling like i wasn't
i was never going to be um cared for not cared for respected maybe but not cared for and many
people at the show are very cared for and being in that position it just made me feel like i am not getting out of what i'm putting i don't i'm
not getting out what i'm putting in yeah yeah and what i was getting out was incredible things
getting to make stupid shit with my friends that cost a lot of money to make and they let me make it like that was like
the end all be all
but it was too
hard yeah it just gets too
hard it doesn't have to be and I think that's what I'm
excited about for you most of all is the work life
balance is going to rock your world
I already feel it we literally
like when Sudi came to LA like
it was kind of funny I
did predict that she would find a place very
quickly. Day one,
you went out and saw five places.
It's like a little tiny little house. It's so
cute. It's an apartment, but it feels
home-ish. It's like a half a duplex.
Yeah, it's really, really cute.
Just being in there and walking around
and planning where things were going to go.
I was just like, this is a new beginning.
That's the thing.
We all as people, and I think this can apply to anyone in any career you can stay at a job and love it but you need to be able to create new beginnings for
yourself at your place of work you need to be able to in any environment make make it exciting for
you and challenging for you and also grow into a place where you're comfortable there.
Change or die.
I don't know.
I've always had these moments in my life where I feel like it's time to leave.
Move on.
Like I have this image of like, you know, you're standing on this precipice and it's time to jump and fly.
Yeah. And you might eat shit, but like that's okay too because I've eaten plenty of shit.
And I have had, and it kind of does end up happening like I think every like about like six years.
Isn't that like what like scientifically it is too?
Like every seven years that that's like a new cycle of like expertise or of like.
Yeah.
Like you just kind of like, you hit a wall.
Yeah.
Dorinda says six years.
Dorinda.
Dorinda.
Dorinda Medley.
And she's a scientist.
In a recent interview, she literally said, for some reason, every six years. Dorinda. Dorinda Medley. And she's a scientist. In a recent interview,
she literally said, for some reason, every six
years, I do have, there's
a change. There's a change.
That's a good Dorinda. You know, maybe
I'll go back, maybe I won't. It's really not up
to me, but I'm happy.
Yeah, that's so good. I'm happy.
Your impressions are really in
the pocket when it comes to housewives.
Yeah. Because it's there.
I am Zen Wen.
I am Zen Wen.
I am Zen Wen.
You are not going to tell me.
You are dismissed.
You are dismissed.
TikTok me ya.
I have time today.
I do have to say,
I'm one of the most excited people in the world
to watch Potomac tonight.
Yeah.
Because we're all going to watch Potomac tonight
and let's celebrate that.
Let's celebrate that. Let's celebrate that.
Let's celebrate how lucky
we are.
And then White Lotus.
Oh, the finale.
It's the finale.
I will watch the premiere.
I'll watch the finale.
Honestly, I don't think
I feel like your energy
around it has been like
you're not really
wanting to watch it
so you can watch the finale.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm fine with it.
I'll find out
who's in the damn box.
No, it's too good, Bowen.
I won't allow it. It literally is so good. You gotta watch box. No, it's too good, Bowen. I won't allow it.
It literally is so good.
You gotta watch it from the beginning
whenever you want,
on your own time.
No rush.
I've watched the premiere.
I'll watch the boat episode,
which I heard was fully improvised.
I love that.
It's a Jennifer Coolidge moment.
You gotta watch the whole thing.
Okay, okay.
Whenever you have a chance.
I still haven't watched WandaVision yet.
Oh my God.
I watched the first episode
like three months ago.
Well, we have an award dedicated to it.
You won't be winning it.
I'm not keeping up with everything you two are doing every second of the day.
I love that you were like, well, we have an award about it.
Like what?
You didn't listen to the 100 nominees?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I double tap.
Categories?
I barely comment because you know I love you.
And I don't need to know every detail.
You don't need to listen because you're so present
in the episodes.
You're so present in the episodes.
My sister always tells me, she's like, yeah, they were talking about you.
I know that's nice.
I love.
No, I love it. I love attention.
Love attention. Wait, should we go back
to six years?
Or should we do Housewives? We've got a lot of branching I just I don't want to ask you
so six years SNL's done yes what are you doing now um I'm in the I love this for you room
get a hold of that readers um it's so fabulous um I love this You, the show that Matt Rogers is going to be a series damn regular on.
Wow.
Vanessa Bayer created.
Vanessa Bayer,
Jeremy Byler created.
Created.
Say their name.
Vanessa Bayer,
Jeremy Byler.
That's actually a great duo.
Such a good duo.
Very good.
Jeremy Byler.
It's actually a very
full circle moment.
First of all,
because I'm writing
for my baby,
which is very important.
And also, Vanessa and Jeremy were kind to me in my first year of SNL, my crushing loneliness.
I remember when you said that.
They were kind to me in a way that they did not have to be and literally saved my experience there. There was like such a dark moment
my first year at SNL
where I forget what had happened.
I had like done another schedule
I thought was good
and then it didn't go.
And I just felt like I was giving my best
and I like wasn't getting anything on.
And I was so distracted
and depressed walking to work
that I walked into the street by my house
and a car almost hit me
because I wasn't
paying attention and I was walking in the subway and then I thought this is how it happens like
this is how like things like this happens like you're distracted you're like so sad and like
then like you just get fucking hit by a car and then I remember it was like oh I was going into
a writer's night and then that day Vanessa texted me and was like hey we're talking about
this thing would you come in and like pitch on it or whatever and i remember sitting in her little
office which was then my office and sitting on her couch and being like oh my god i'm in vanessa
bayer's couch and like pitching on like some commercial i think it was like this lint chocolate
truffle thing that they like put to the table a couple times that was so funny and it was like this Lindt chocolate truffle thing that they like put to the table a couple of times. It was so funny.
And it was like just Vanessa being like Lindor chocolatier.
She like falls in love with this Lindt chocolatier.
It was very funny.
And then they would just so kindly reach out to me because like they knew.
I don't know.
You know, they just wanted me in the room to pitch.
And I just couldn't.
I couldn't believe it.
And so the fact that their
show is
what I'm working on right out of SNL
with the sister here
with Miss Rogers it's just too good
it's such perfect perfect
one time Sudi I was
texting her a lot like when she was first
got the job just to check in on her and I remember
at some point in the middle of the year
like you said that
Vanessa told you
like I just want you to know you can talk
to me about stuff and I just always
remembered that like I always remembered that Vanessa
said that to her she was the first cast member
that ever said like and you know I get
that it's hard here sometimes and you can talk to me
about that stuff which is so
she did that she did that I never forgot
that and she didn't have to do that.
And you would still cite Jeremy
as like,
you were like,
you've always talked to me about like-
She taught me so much.
Yeah, you worked together a lot.
You guys were on
Mario and Marty together too.
Yeah.
Like you brought up Jeremy a lot
in my first year working there
as a writer
where you were like,
you'll get it.
And like, you know,
you just like,
you'll learn from the people
who work here.
Like my first year
was Jeremy Beiler
like showing me the ropes
and I was like,
oh, that's so, that's so generous. I mean, year was Jeremy Beiler like showing me the ropes and I was like, oh, that's so generous.
I mean, it wasn't even like showing you the rope.
It's so, the way that that show works,
and I think this is actually a way
that a lot of things work,
which is like people when you're like on a job,
people don't sit you down and show you things.
And if they do,
it's maybe for like a day for like an hour right like
really the best thing is to be a sponge and i just feel like i was watching jeremy being like this is
too long we want to land on this let's cut this well we're at the bottom of page two like
and then maybe like logging all of this shit um god what a man you know it's i i just remember like it's so it's it makes such a
positive impact when someone's new someplace to reach out to them and just be like just offer
kindness like i remember what this is like i it's i weirdly think they are comparable like when i
would start a new restaurant i would never feel so anxious than i did on those days like when you
walk into a new restaurant and like you don't know where anything is and like someone's
training you.
You have to ask everything.
I just remember like
and you want to be cool
and because also
it's about like
socially fitting in
because that's a whole
other part of it
like where you go
when you go to any new job
and I just remember like
the people who trained me
when I was working in places
like and now
in my professional life as well
when people are nice
it means everything.
And that's why like like we were saying like we always say like just be being like a positive um person in the workplace be the light
be the light be the light be the light because like be the light even just not getting angry
at someone they don't know where something is or how to do something like because i get like
environments can be stressful now I'm thinking about every time
I didn't do what we were talking about.
Well, you know what happens.
You're not always held to that, Stan.
I mean, like, it's hard to always do.
It can be so hard.
Because everybody's also always
going through their own shit.
That's the other thing too,
which is why it like means so much
when somebody is like,
you know, going through a stressful time
and then they do take that time to like.
Yeah.
But it's not realistic to
expect that everybody be
the light always that is also not
I'm just saying it's nice when that person
is there like and also like when you can
when you find yourself in a situation
where you can be that person
even if it's a little exhausting sometimes
it's nice to give that extra effort just
because I genuinely feel those things get
paid back.
You know what I mean?
I'll never have a bad thought about someone who was kind to me when I was anxious.
You know what I mean?
We're good going forward.
That's why we see with Potomac,
Wendy's not being warm to Mia.
And that's used as a tone.
Because Karen sort of did that with her.
Is that what you're saying?
I mean, we've seen Wendy be hazed.
And you see the hazing happening with Giselle and Robin as well.
I mean, with Miss Mia.
With Miss Mia.
And they better not come for a scala.
Hold on.
Before we talk about Potomac,
I just want to also say...
Didn't mean to...
I was literally just for a moment checking in about Potomac.
I want to talk about Potomac,
but I just want to say
there have been moments, and I've pointed
this out to these people,
to Sudi and Matt,
but I just am so warmed,
heart warmed, by
watching you two talk about
this show and how excited you both
are for it. It's going to be so good.
When she said that she was going to meet
on it, I was like, oh, my God.
Every bone in my body was like, please, please, please, please, please.
And now that it's happening, I'm just like,
I feel it's going to be such an amazing next step for you.
Like, I just think, like, that tone I love for you.
Well, I'm just excited to be in a room, like, where I really feel like
everybody is really good.
And then I'm like, oh, fuck.
Like, I actually have to really show up every day
because that's like where the bar is.
And I like-
That's great.
That's a new planet.
And that's literally all you can ask for.
And when I was leaving SNL
and I was thinking about what I want
and I was like, you know, okay,
well, I'm going to work on my own stuff. But but like you know what what about like you know rooms like do I want to go like straight
into a room or whatever and I was kind of like veering towards like let's not jump right into
a job and then I thought if it's people that I know are amazing and I like and my friends and
also like people that I know that i can learn from yeah
and that's why i told my wife so i was like i really want this job yeah i really want this job
and then i feel really lucky to be there and jesse klein oh yeah is show running and i'm such a huge
fan of hers and if people haven't read her book Her book is incredible Her book is so good
It's like one of the best comedy memoirs I've ever read
Also I feel like she gets
very real and honest in it
in a way that I feel like a lot of times
those comedy memoirs it's very surface level
because they just like got the book deal
but it's like she has
this incredible essay about like being at the Emmys
and for Inside Amy Schumer
and like having to pump
it's just like so fucking incredible anyway i also want to say like ultimately the lifestyle shift
is going to be very important for you yeah and i love that and i also want to say and we have to
say when this happens she found her hair she found her oh my. She found her hair. She found her... Oh my God.
Thank you so much.
She found her hair
and there's really no...
I mean,
there's no need to really
to believe this.
Maybe in six years.
No.
I am going to have this hair.
I'm going to be like Lisa Rinna.
I'm going to have this hair
when I'm 60 years old.
I'm never getting rid of it.
This is the hair.
That's the hair.
It is the hair and I feel like I can say that because I'm talking about
my hair
and this shag this Ella Emhoff
thing that I'm doing
a fair cop is Sandra Oh
I think a fair cop is Sandra Oh
and I think on certain days depending on where it lays
it's a little genzy Ella Emhoff
when I'm feeling young
but
I don't care if it goes out of style depending on where it lays, it's a little Gen Z L.A. I'm off when I'm feeling young. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know,
it's gonna,
I don't care if it goes out of style.
I think I have to do-
This is a classic haircut
that will not go out of style.
I think I have to do curly bangs
because I think I have
a gigantic forehead
and a huge head, honestly,
a huge head.
You do not.
No, I really do
and I think that bangs
are really a game changer.
And so many hairdressers in my life told me that you can't have curly bangs.
And then my hairdresser, who is a queen, Michelle at Headdress.
Love Michelle as a hairdresser's name.
It's amazing.
Okay, but don't go and get my exact haircut.
Please get creative.
Because I have to gas up Michelle because she is
an artist and I want her to have all the
clients and all the money.
But also, I know some
people who have gone and kind of gotten my haircut.
So don't do that.
But get a good haircut from Michelle
because she can do a lot of things.
We love Michelle.
And you can get my haircut but make it your own, bitch.
Do something. Don't tell me you went we love Michelle and you can get my haircut but make it your own bitch yeah like do something
yeah also don't
don't tell me
you went to my hairdresser
and show up
with my exact hair
it's like
do that
but be at least
hide it
go on your own journey
like you found that organically
that's so fucked up
because just because
you found it
organically
fucking Danny Ray
told me about it
because Jodi
the SNL hair queen told me to go
everybody yeah yeah well it's a team effort but what's important is that you landed like yeah and
you landed in a place where you found your hair and if you got my haircut you know who you are
yeah oh my god now can I just really quickly um just I also want to add as an addendum, add as an addendum redundant,
but,
uh,
the,
the,
the beautiful thing to me is like in terms of this triangle,
like it's the first time in a while,
I would say that I've seen you to like connect over.
Like Matt's listened to you and me,
Suti talk about SNL fucking for years.
And it's probably like,
he's probably like,
he's,
you,
you,
you've always listened.
You've always been there and supportive
I'm like I'm sure he's sick of hearing
us talk about this
Sudi's listened to me and Matt talk about podcast shit for
however long too it's like
this is the perfect way to like
complete the triangle
we had many years of working very
closely together
there was like a black box period
but I also and you know I think honestly, if I was to be totally honest,
when you guys both start,
the blow was less than with you
but I knew what to expect because
when you did start working at that job
and it is so demanding,
I told myself, oh, but we'll
still be able to keep up this
level of working together but that was
just not a possibility.
It's tragic.
In a way, it's definitely like,
it's not tragic because ultimately,
what I ultimately told myself was
this is going to benefit
everyone in the orbit creatively at
some point and you're willing to, when
you are doing this career and you really
mean it and you really know you can do it,
that's actually an investment in the future and it's like you have to invest in your community around you which is why
it's like been said a million times but truly a rising tide does lift all ships and i think if
there's anything there's a little thing in your head that has an insecurity the little voice in
the back of your head says oh well you won't be able to keep up with that but like and and what's
so nice about what you're
saying about meeting here is it's like it is validating you know what i mean like the fact
that we get to do this now and work on the same project is like very cool and we're very fortunate
it is a dream and we are lucky as hell and one of the three of us gonna make a little show together
and i'm gonna just pitch something. Okay?
Happy karaoke fun time.
Well, just so you know, we are bad.
On HBO Max.
It's gonna be the first bad show.
It'll be the first bad show.
It'll be the first bad show.
It'll be the first bad show to be good.
And I hope the budget is big.
Oh, my God.
A big budget. Have you guys watched Fuckboy Island?
I've not.
With Nikki.
With Nikki Glaser.
She looks so funny on it.
I have not watched
a second of it
and I think a lot of it
has to do with the fact
that it's called
Fuckboy Island.
And that it feels like
30 Rock.
And it literally feels
like a 30 Rock joke.
So FYI,
well, I just know that
HBO Max is going
in the direction of
where all reality is going
where they really like it to be arced.
Like they love like narratives.
And I'm like, that's so funny that like there's a television show called Fuckboy Island that I could invest in.
I could invest in.
What do you mean?
Like the fact that it's called Fuckboy Island and it could be something I watch week to week.
Where you're like, oh, you're tracking stories.
Yeah.
And you're tracking a story on a show called Fuckboy Island.
But isn't that all dating shows? Yeah, but not
when it's abjectly as much as
funny as Fuckboy Island.
That literally is a 30 Rock joke.
And it started with some of the Quibi shows
when they were like, these sound like 30 Rock jokes.
I'm like, Mama, look on television. It's Fuckboy
Island. Everything's a 30 Rock joke at this point.
We're leaning in.
We're leaning in. We're leaning into 30 Rock
being reality.
President Trump. Death to all of them. What rhymes with at this point. We're leaning in. We're leaning in. We're leaning into 30 Rock being reality. I mean.
President Trump.
Death to all of them.
What rhymes with Trump?
I'm blinking.
Pump, I think.
No.
I don't remember.
Dump.
Huge.
I think that's it.
Wait, there's something there.
Like he's got a big fat booty
like a rump.
Oh my God, yeah.
Rump is good.
Hey, Trump.
Nice rump.
You big old dump.
I'm crying with laughter.
You're crying laughing right now.
Readers, Bowen is
crying. Am I allowed to say
readers? Yes. That's what they are.
Okay.
Big things in the future.
Matt, do you want to go next? Sure, I'll go
next. You know,
I am in New York shooting the film
Fire Island. And we are
it's sort of funny,
like very little of the time we've spent
has felt like work.
Like I think that your role is obviously larger than mine
and like you have some like real work to do in the movie.
Like there's like, you know,
there's difficult material for you.
For me, I have just been having the best time.
Like I've just been kind of doing my. I'm just doing my little thing.
Later on in the shoot schedule,
there's some stuff.
You have some demands.
As the Lydia.
Famously Lydia.
If you're portraying Lydia, you have some demands.
Absolutely, you have to be a dumb little slut.
Dumb little slut.
It's not that she's a slut.
Lydia creates scandal in the Bennett household.
I'm really,
and you know,
I've actually been thinking
a lot about,
this is so funny,
when we announced
that it was happening,
everyone was like,
of course Matt is Lydia.
What does that mean?
Matt is the only Lydia.
And it started to feel
like a drag for a second.
I was like,
okay, what are they saying exactly?
When I read Pride and Prejudice,
I was reading
Jane Austen's words
and reading Lydia's story
and thinking,
this is Matt Rogers.
Is this true?
No.
People are like...
It's like a fucking Edwardian novel
of like women working their way
up the social ladder.
But literally the response was like,
of course you are Lydia.
And I'm like,
all right, perfect.
Like, I love it.
And I have been like examining it
and I do like,
you know, you remember, I mean like Janeane austen you know she she is really she's a talented girl talented girl talented talented writer girl you know um but i really beautiful beautiful beautiful
gorgeous girl smart funny gorgeous you know what happened to her what happened to her she got
married she had kids i think you know what she moved she to her? Did she get married? She had kids. I think she had kids.
No, she moved.
She moved.
She moved and she got married and she had kids.
And now I think, I want to say that she's like farming.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know?
But that's hard.
Farming's hard.
Well, she always wanted to farm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And she has help.
Yeah.
Well, that's the thing.
Then that's the thing.
That's the thing.
You know, you don't do it alone.
No, no one does.
At that level.
No, it takes a village. But if you can pay for help, then it's fine. Like then. Yeah it alone no one does at that level it takes a village
but if you can pay for help
then it's fine
yeah Jane Austen
can pay for help
right
you know
real farmers
right
and how much is she farming really
it's like you know
no Jane Austen
is you know
picking up the harvest
and canning maybe a few peaches
yeah like you know
Paris Hilton isn't making
her fragrances.
Her name's on it.
Her name's on it.
But yeah, exactly.
Guess who's in the photos
with the beets and the...
Jane Austen.
Yeah, Jane.
She's really there to sell it,
move product,
which is work.
She looks great, though.
Beautiful.
She looks really good.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
She got all Thera.
Yeah.
Beautiful girl.
Beautiful girl.
Okay.
So anyway,
just like really enjoying
getting to know the cast
and like it's a really
fun group of people
and it's funny
that you said like
the being in proximity
to heroes thing before
because Margaret Cho
is fully in the movie
and like it's such a
like wild thing
for the journey to go from
we were too afraid
to ask her the question
I know
to now she's like
now she's like a colleague
she's a colleague
and she's telling us
great stories what do you mean you were too afraid to ask
her before? Well famously she was the only person that we
did not ask the question of what was the culture
that made you psychosophistic because we were so
I don't think and it's not like this anymore.
She was one of the first big names that you guys got.
That was when we were really a baby podcast and we
traveled up to go interview
her and I remember it was one of
the most nerve wracking
I've never seen you more nervous
she was I mean I'm comfortable
saying this even though it's like not necessarily hashtag
cool but she was my comedic
hero yeah I mean that is cool
she taught me I know yeah
I actually told her this when she was on the
podcast and I think she received
it now I'm kind of just like hey girl but
which is you know its own type
of mind fuck but i
when i listened to her stand-up albums when i was in middle school she taught me what my sense of
humor was yeah like in a way it was like revealed to me i was like oh that's what i think is funny
yeah that's what i want to hear more of like this type of queer comedy i had never heard before
i didn't get the references like
one of my favorite
joke runs ever
was CC Blooms
I mean like
when she went into
how there was a bar
named after
Bette Midler's character
in Beaches
in San Francisco
and how she said
it was that
was the gayest
thing
I have ever heard
in my entire
life
and just the audience
dying
and how you could feel her as a performer
even just listening to it. It was just so brilliant.
Chewing on each word.
Truly, when I was at that age, I mean,
this was when I was realizing
who I was in terms of
I mean, in many ways, the culture
that made me say culture was for me in a way.
But now
it's like we're doing a movie with her
and we get to talk to her and like work
with her and like you know there was a scene we did
this dinner scene the other night and she was doing something
and but right before they called action
she like looked over shook me in the eyes
like she was mid telling me the story like in
the setup before the shot and I was like I'm
looking at Margaret doing a movie
that's not part
of what the summer is and also all summer
like I mean y'all heard us
in an honest conversation I've been in New York a lot
and I'm just trying to have fun and you know
like really enjoy everything because
I think after like who knows what's
going on with you know the
not to bring it up but Variant and everything but we've had
like a really nice moment where we have all been able
to have like some semblance of a social
life in a summer and getting to do all these fun things
so it's been really nice and I'm trying to enjoy
whatever you know is left of it and I'm trying to enjoy whatever you know
is left of it and I'm also so happy because
we really have been able to see so much more of each
other and I really like
being able to see you all the time and
like us be able to be there for each other
like when we're laughing and also need someone to talk to
it's really special and you know I really
think we're so lucky to have that and so like
we really are and then
with you moving to Los Angeles like I know that we're going to spend so much more time together than we've
have in such a long time truly why i'm moving i mean it is and it isn't i mean like it is though
i i was thinking about this the other day when i'm with the two of you i feel like the most like myself than i ever am like it feels like family it feels also like
i'm not thinking about a damn thing so you can like pack and watch potomac and be with us that's
the vibe exactly that's what we're doing tonight i'm going to be putting coats in suitcases
and seeing what the hell Wendy has to say
to Giselle at the same time
we're ignoring Escala
we're erasing Escala
oh my god I love Escala my African sister
who sort of has your hair
does she go to your bar
your Michelle
I'm sure that Escala and I go to the same hairdresser
Escala is pulling some looks
that are reminiscent of Taylor Swift Red Era 2012 I'm like that a Scala and I go to the same hairdresser. Yeah. A Scala is pulling some looks that are reminiscent of Taylor Swift,
red era,
2012.
I'm like,
go for it.
I'm obsessed with the Scala.
We are,
we've talked about a Scala like more than probably we have Ashley.
And Ashley is a main cast member and has going through a lot.
She had a child.
And we're talking about a Scala more because a Scala has the it factor.
And when we,
when we get to the point where all of a sudden we cut to a confessional
and it's Escala, I'm going to
scream at the top of my lungs
for joy. And it's going to be a meme.
She deserves it.
And I know if her
stylist isn't an idiot, they need to give her
a huge Christina Aguilera and Moulin Rouge
wig. And it needs to be
truly a moment
because what we have with Escala is potential
and I want to see it played out.
Escala is a star and she
has personality.
She's a star.
Are apologies due?
So does anyone want to apologize
for anything?
Are apologies due?
Again, I feel she's not thinking
in that moment.
It's like as if she's me with you two.
It's like the same.
That is just so, I think that's the power.
That's why she's so impactful to me
is because it's like, oh, she's being very real.
Literally.
Star person.
I can honestly see her as like a Kyle.
Like somebody.
No, it's going too far no no
i'm with it i'm with it see her being like we're seeing she's the storyteller she's the one
explaining the narrative to us she's like you think she's grounded she's the way she's grounded
she's very no i mean i i think that if she at the beginning right now she would be center couch
because I think that Kyle
is our way in
she's telling me
exactly
she knows how far
at this point she hasn't always known
but Kyle knows how far to go
if you watch from season 1 Kyle is the protagonist
of Beverly Hills and actually
everything that happens on the show Kyle is the protagonist of beverly hills and actually everything that happens on the show kyle is the protagonist around her when erica is breaking down and her
mascara is running we're with kyle yeah you know what i mean like kyle is the protagonist like
erica is kyle's friend in the show now but they find a way to build now i cannot watch the show
though without thinking about heidi and cecily's bit that you took down on the power
where they sit down and Lisa's like,
I love this couch. What is this? Is this pink?
Is this purple? Pink. Oh, my God, look at the
whale. There's a little whale on the wall.
Is that a whale? Oh, my God, that's a whale.
Seafood. Ooh, I wonder what they got here.
I'm hungry. Who's hungry? I know.
Let's eat. If we're hungry, let's eat. I mean,
what are we going to do? Not eat? We have to eat at some point.
Look at this table. We eat on this table or over there on the couch? We could sit and eat. If we're hungry, let's eat. I mean, what are we going to do? Not eat? We have to eat at some point. We have a table.
We eat on this table or over there on the couch?
We could sit and eat.
So, Erica, is she going to go to jail? Oh, my God.
Love that the Housewives discourse has creeped into the section for my culture because that really makes a lot of sense because it is the culture that I consume.
But decompressors down.
Yeah.
That's what that show is um but uh yeah and other otherwise
like in terms of life stuff like yeah super excited that you're coming and very excited and
and like feel very grateful that i get to be a part of very queer projects that i think are
going to be fucking great like the way fire island is cast and the creative team on it and also
q force is coming out and I'm really excited for that.
Booked and busy.
And I'm really excited for
the new year to shoot the Vanessa show.
So I'm feeling good.
Good job, baby. And I have to say that you are
working your little butt off.
You have such an incredible work ethic.
You bring incredible energy to everything
you do and he's
an escala.
I mean, Matt is a star.
He's an undeniable star, natural star.
Wow.
Yeah.
Personality.
Mr. Personality.
Pure personality.
Do you agree, Walter?
Yeah.
Okay.
He goes, yeah, I think so.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back.
I love that.
Oh my gosh.
Welcome.
And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg.
You're recording us?
I am disgusted.
Never in a million years after everything we've been through did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy.
We were friends.
How could you do this to me? I don't
trust her. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Wednesdays at 9 on Bravo or stream it on City TV+.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, 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.. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzales 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.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll.
This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into
Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's
biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate delusional dreamer and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I
encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer.
I just had such an anger.
I was just so mad at life.
Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine.
I had such a victim mentality.
I took zero accountability for anything in my life.
I was the kid that if you asked what happened,
I immediately started with everything but me.
It took years for me to break that, like years of work.

Bobisa.
Bobisa, how are you?
In terms of the summer of cunt
this might be a summer that I
I just I can't
access the cunt unfortunately
and that's okay
I mean I've talked to you guys about this
like offline
but
I don't know like I just really
have to like I have not had to genuinely like confront
uh the way that i am comfortable with inferiority like my whole life i've been like
that's where i've been that i've just i've been i'm used to it i'm used to feeling
um bad about myself and i think this anything think working on this movie,
which I'm so grateful for,
but as the Jane,
she goes through
probably...
Would you guys say that Jane Bennett
goes through the worst time
in the book? Or maybe not?
I would say that Jane is a character
who honestly befalls great personal humiliation and hurt.
And it's hard to put yourself in that spot when you're someone who struggles with, I guess, would you say self-esteem?
Yes.
And that's basically what's going on.
And Julio was pointing this out.
He was like, this is a movie that um
thematically is like testing
a lot of different things in your life and the only
thing that would have made it worse was if you know
your character like had like
insane like if your character
was put in conversion therapy
that would be like so much
more real and so much harder to separate
that from like Bowen
and um
and your dear friend wrote it too so there's like
and it's so
well written and Joel
is very vivid so vivid and it's so
it's so lived in and all those
words around your tiffs but um
it's
I don't know
do you feel inferior
now?
Yeah.
That is so crazy to me.
I feel,
I feel,
and just,
I know in context,
it makes no sense.
Cause like I've had a great summer.
Yeah.
But a wonderful summer.
And I'm like,
I know this is like a moment where I should be like,
gotta be grateful.
You gotta like really just like drum that up at any given moment.
But I'm like like something's happened
in the last few weeks where I don't know what it is
um
where I'm just like
oh I just I
yeah I don't know
and I've had hard scenes so far
where like literally Andrew On
our director has like told me to like
in this one scene
now you need to look in the mirror
and just like really like ask yourself
like am I ugly
like truly like
dig for that
and I think it's like really fucked up
and now I like now I understand
what I
cause anytime I've heard actors say like
I took it home with me
I needed to shake the character off what all these things like what does that even
mean whatever it's like easy
you're reading words off the page okay Julianne
Moore you know like
truly I'm like what
what is that but it's work
it is
and I keep reminding
I always feel so stupid when I'm
reminding myself like oh right
acting is hard you know anyway
that's what makes it art
though and I think that like what I
I guess what I
maybe is a
solution here emotionally. Not a solution
but something useful is like
to understand that because you have
an understanding of that experience and because
you have an identification with what the character
goes through, what you're going to do is
project that with a truth
to people who will feel seen by it
in the book Jane
wins and like and
not to give spoilers about the movie
but like you know what you're going
to reflect back is
really something very beautiful
and touching and while it
may feel like you are
personally like far from that like i think that
like at least what you can know that like you're going to give like such a truth yeah don't be
upset babe i'm sorry i'm sorry oh that's okay i'm sorry and sometimes i just feel like i've been
getting so upset so often that it just feels like people are hiding me for it or like scolding me for it.
No, but let me tell you something.
There's a lot going on.
And to hear you talk about it like the way that you talk about it, I think it must be
difficult to have everyone be like, you deserve all these things.
You deserve all these things when inherently you don't believe it.
And all I want you to do is believe it.
That's all I ever want for you to do is just genuinely believe it and all i want you to do is believe it that's all i ever want for you to do is just genuinely believe it i i was i was believing it for a long time and you're you're talking about
like oh like you've lived through this in your real life and i'm like and i thought i got away
from it i thought i like i thought i i thought i was so past it and i was like look at me i'm like
doing great i'm doing all these incredible things and all my dreams are coming true. And I'm like, oh, but wait, it's still there.
No, no, baby.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's fine.
I'm sorry.
No, don't apologize. Don't apologize.
Because you know what?
It's very real.
And I want you to know that like it's okay to have like any emotion that you have.
And stop thinking about how everyone else is going to like receive it or take it.
Guess what?
You are living your life and all
I want for you to do is
and the thing is
we're okay.
I don't need to share but thank you.
All I want you to do
is to know that I'm
feeling for you so hard that it's hard right
now but you will feel good again soon.
We'll just fight
through it.
It's all going to be fine'm we are so here for you thank you girls i mean like i think that what
you're saying about like i should be grateful and all this stuff which is like two things can be
true no totally two things can be true you can have the perspective i mean we're sitting here
and we're like looking at what we get to do.
And we're all like recognize how rare and lucky we are.
But your day to day is still your day to day.
It's a lot of pressure.
And it's still, it's not even pressure.
It's just like, I'm looking at like, you know, like the schedule and I'm like, I'm like putting in my account.
I'm like, I'm like clerically doing a lot of work where I'm like, which I like to do.
But I'm like, okay, I got to gotta so this thing will be on that day i should prepare this you know i'm like i'm doing a lot of like emotional logistics if that makes sense and that
is fucking weird i wonder how who can help with that i'm like oh no no it's not that like i need
to like get help it's just that i'm like this is this is this is part of the work yeah and it's
like my it's i'm thrilled and honored and i couldn't be luckier that I'm like, this is part of the work. And it's like, I'm thrilled and honored.
And I couldn't be luckier that this is like the project that I get to do this on for the first time.
Like in a long, like, you know, for a sustained period of time, I'm like playing, I'm inhabiting one person, whatever.
No, but you're also doing this for the first time too.
Like this kind of work. And so I feel like it is everything that you're going through and talking about seems very actually natural to me.
And like, yeah, like what Matt was saying, which is like, just feel your feelings.
You don't have to judge the feeling.
No, no, no.
Totally.
Totally.
He literally said that last week.
I just, you know, I guess and i know that you've been feeling this way and i i
think sometimes like for me it's just like i just want to make it better for you and so sometimes i
feel like i i sometimes do so much to try to make you happy and like i almost like try to force feed
joy onto you and i also want to tell you that I do validate how you're feeling and I want you
to know if I ever project
to you like, why are you doing
this? Whenever you're like,
oh, I really want a week off and I'm like,
you know, and I'm
whatever. All I'm just saying is I do hear
you and we both
hear you. I know you do. No, I know.
It's just, I'll get through
it. The only way is through
with these things and um like i got i have fun things waiting for me too and i'm like god like
i i lucked out like crazy with everything and so like that and that can also be concurrently true
with like all the the shitty parts of how i'm feeling now too. And like tonight I'm going to fucking watch Potomac
and like laugh my ass off.
Because a scholar will be so...
I'll order anything.
I would like to do honestly...
Well, never mind.
Because what I want to do is like
something we kind of just did.
I'm not like that.
What is Birds of a Feather?
That place is amazing.
Also, Kings County Imperial is so good.
I also feel like,
bring it back to Bone,
and I'm sorry.
You should express.
No, no, no.
You should express
because I feel like we're speechifying at you.
And you guys don't have to do that.
No.
Neither of you are ever under any obligation
to have to make me feel better about anything.
I know. I just want you to feel better. to make me feel better about anything. I know.
I just want you to feel better.
But it's also something that we all deal with.
So I think it's a really important thing to talk about because I think that
you bring yourself to every situation.
You bring your shit to every situation.
And like,
I feel like I'm a big compartmentalizer and a big disassociator.
Yes.
Huge.
That is how I function in stressful situations.
And that is bad, very bad in a lot of ways.
Because sometimes I put something in a box and I put it away because I couldn't deal with it right now.
And then it shows up in a huge way.
Yeah.
And I'm like, where the fuck did this come from?
I put that box away yeah so i
could deal with it later and then sometimes you don't get to decide when you have to open the box
yeah totally but also i think that two two things can be true many things can be true
hold no one nuance no wants no nuance yes because it's also like look you're going through this fucking emotional
shit you're taking it home you're bringing it's bringing up all this you know trash feelings yeah
yeah yeah but also you can live in a moment that's joyous hanging out with friends on set or like
you know we're gonna go to the emmys together i'm so fucking excited that should be a joyous celebratory time no matter what and like i don't know maybe i'm
asking for too much compartmentalization but i do feel like that helps me like you know but it's so
hard to stay present that's my issue and i think i have the opposite thing where i'm like not
compartmentalizing anything and i i might run my mouth and I think I have the opposite thing where I'm like not compartmentalizing anything.
I run my mouth and like
nothing, there are no boundaries when it comes to
things and I never set them.
Where do you think that comes from?
Never getting the opportunity
to maybe.
But it's fine.
What do you mean never getting the opportunity to?
Like I was being foisted
the boundaries from someone else
all my life.
Which is fine. I don't have to unpack that now.
Literally, my therapist is on
vacation for two weeks and so this is timing
out wonderfully.
Everyone is always on
vacation. It's like one of the most horrifying
things about the world.
I think that we should all be on vacation at the same
time. You know how many times people in the entertainment that we should all be on vacation at the same time.
Like, you know how many times... Well, people in the entertainment industry,
actually, they're always on vacation.
That is true.
I think we should all be on vacation more.
And I think it should be normal.
I mean, I agree with you,
and I really want to go with my sisters
to go down to Orlando
to ride the Velocicoaster.
Well, I want to go to fucking Greece, bitch.
I know, but that's so far.
I feel that...
And there's no theme park there.
Bitch, you are Greek.
And we're going to sit,
we're going to have
the most amazing food
Yeah, so I don't need to go
to Greece to be Greek.
I can go to Orlando
and be Greek.
I'm bringing Greek there.
I think that we should be
like France
and everybody should just be like
off for the month of August.
Yeah.
And August should be a time...
August is famously
the worst month.
Well, Matt has to travel.
Matt has a seasonally effective disorder during August.
Only in New York.
The season of August.
You don't like New York in August.
I have a disease, seasonal defective disorder,
where I can't like in New York in August
to do the human.
I didn't know that it was New York specific.
Well, yeah, because it's just so different everywhere else.
I will say August for me is
a trigger month. August for me is
a trigger month. August triggers
me. No, I'm literally brave
and bold enough to say that
it's not only just the
humidity. It's because every single year
when you're in your 20s doing sketch comedy,
August is when SNL rears its head
and I have so much trauma from that month
that it
actually was a big reason why I had to move
yes yes do you think over time
you will build more distance
no it doesn't bother me anymore
it doesn't bother me anymore
you said the other day
for this year it's exclusively the weather
it's exclusively the weather in New York this time because year it's exclusively because you're in new york it's
exclusively the weather in new york this time because now it's like it's like that thing of
like you know when you were anxious going to school and you could feel it turn to september
yeah and like you smell the air and you feel an anxiety yeah i kind of have that with august the
month of august now in new york because the humidity reminds me of a slog and a time when
i was like stressed out and unhappy so every time I'm here now
it's like kind of a fight and I have
I have and I'm brave enough to say I have
cried 90% of the days
I've been here. I'm sorry. Not even because I'm
Yeah but it's okay it's like it's like literally
like it's fine because I am
genuinely very happy
but like there's something about the
heaviness of the humidity and like
you know it's also like a time for me where things are changing a lot and there's something about the heaviness of the humidity and like you know it's also like a
time for me where things are changing a lot and there's a lot of shift like and also you know
there's so much uncertainty that sometimes it is nice to just and i am water water water water water
sign y'all you have to remember like i'm a crier like it's just it just is what it is august is an
interesting time because i feel like there is like a cognitive dissonance with august where it's like it is the
time where the environment the heat the weather the summer is winding down soon it will be the
fall which is go go go go go there's a moment where you're like well i should be like resting
by the beach or whatever but it's also a time where shit always ends up fucking happening and
so you're in like heat of like
I should be on a beach and then it's like
send this, do this.
It's back to school culture and it's actually
toxic and the people who are like I like back
to school when like the notebooks are
back at Target. Fuck you.
I will say the new school supplies
thing is real. They do smell good.
The school supplies are
wild now.
Wait, oh my god, yeah, how have they changed?
Like, there's fucking, I was watching this ASMR video
where she fucking, Maria, gentle whispering
icon, went, she was like, I went
to Target, and I found some
amazing things. What are the kids using
now? The kids are using, like, the pencil cases.
Remember the space makers? No, flop.
Those are gone. Now it's like, there's
LEDs in there and shit.
They zip up.
What?
Or the notebooks have like fucking gel in them that you can like move around.
Damn, girl.
It's like they're-
Whatever gets the kids engaged.
Whatever gets the kids engaged.
We love it.
Because, you know, they're on the iPad.
And, you know, that's why Jane Austen did the farm.
Because she was like, I don't want my kids on the iPad all the time.
I want them to know where their food comes from.
That's what Jane Austen said. Jane Austen said,. I want them to know where their food comes from. That's what Jane Austen said.
Jane Austen said,
my kid's going to know where their food comes from
and my kid's also going to learn how to ride a bike.
Oh, absolutely.
My kid's going to know how to ride a bike
for if something happens.
Yeah, if they have to get on a bike.
I think Jane was also like,
they're going to eat jicama sticks.
Yeah.
They're going to the farmer's market.
They're going to learn about produce.
I think Shane was like,
my kids are not getting that vaccine.
Who said this?
Jane Austen?
Jane Austen's kids are unvaccinated.
She said,
my kids are not getting that vaccine.
I don't trust it at all.
But also,
they're homeschooled.
So it's like,
you can wait.
She's weird,
but you know what?
She's weird.
She's definitely talented.
She said,
she's not getting,
she said she's thinking,
she's not anti-vax herself fully,
but she's like,
I don't know which one to get because, but I do know that J&J has, they put cancer in J&J.
There's cancer in J&J and I, but she said once the FDA approval comes through, then
she'll think about it more seriously.
But she feels they rushed it.
My thing with Jane Austen is like, I love your Instagram.
I love the kids.
I love the farm.
Oh, we love the kids.
Write a book again.
I know. Write another book.
It's been so long since Jane Austen wrote a book.
And it's like, you know that thing when
somebody's famous for a thing and then they just get
so far away from it, like Chrissy Teigen
and being a model? Yeah.
Wait, but do what we loved about you.
It's like Bethany with Housewives.
You're not better than Housewives, babe. The last thing you'll ever
see is Ramona Singer. Stop trying to be
on Shark Tank. It's like Jane with writing books. No, Jane is like JVN where it is like, you're not better than Housewives, babe. The last thing you'll ever see is Ramona Singer. Stop trying to be on Shark Tank.
That's Jane with writing books.
No, Jane is like JVN
where it's like,
no, we like don't,
you don't have to walk us
through this like ever.
Like you don't have to show us
like a cooking demo.
That's Antony.
Yeah.
Like you should just
go back to the grooming.
I just miss like a time
before like social media
where like Jane Austen
could just be Jane Austen.
I know.
She got in her head. And then now it's just like there be Jane Austen. I know. She got it in her head.
And then now it's just like there's too much information.
I miss
pre-social media Jane Austen.
It's like stop posturing. Talk to us.
You know what I mean? Just talk to us.
Stop posturing for one second.
Because it's like when Anthony started posting
all those shirtless stuff.
That's not why we love you. We love you because of your goofy
little face when you put something wrong in it.
So goofy.
Let the work
speak for itself.
Antony and Jane Austen.
Yeah.
We fell in love
with you for books.
Are we that though? Have we veered off the path?
Are we being Jane?
I often feel like every time i
um say anything about my personal life i regret it like i do this thing i i like absolutely
am like a fucking meerkat in the hole because um no wait prairie dog because i think meerkats do
are literally i saw it the same yeah absolutely where it's like
i don't i'll have a day where i post or it'll be like my birthday or like i'll have a cute picture
of myself that i'll post and then i crave those likes and those notifications and the attention
then the minute i get it i'm like i don't want to be perceived. Nobody look at me. Nobody talk to me.
Don't know a thing about me.
This is literally sister life hashtag after.
I mean,
I relate.
I like,
I'm like,
I,
why did I do that?
Like the,
the dopamine hit came and now I'm like,
it feels like you've just orgasmed.
Yeah.
And then you looked at the porn that you were watching and you're like, what?
Oh, yeah.
But that's also a funny moment, I think.
I was 90s sailor stuff.
Like, I thought I was past that.
Well, my favorite lately has been espionage thriller.
Oh, my God.
This is good stuff.
Like when someone's like, you can get some really good ones ones Like where a girl comes in and she'll be like
Well
We better go, hurry quick
And then they're like on a mission
And he's like before we go, we should fuck
And things like that
Are you still on this hetero porn kick?
I actually watched hetero porn again recently
And it wasn't as iconic as the step
Step siblings
But you know what
It's truly iconic, iconicconic Matt Rogers moment.
Might be a first in awards.
Matt Rogers might be nominated
for artist of the millennium.
But also going back to gay,
the Mormon
stuff is like really good.
There's straight Mormon
porn too. All that sister wife shit.
It's fucked up. I don't know about all that. It's like Mormon porn too. All that sister wife shit. It's fucked up.
I don't know about all that.
All I know is like,
it's like the rituals of Mormonism.
It's like,
it'll be like,
I know exactly what site you're talking about.
And some of it is actually kind of upsetting.
Well,
I mean,
the fact that it's so,
because honestly,
religion is upsetting and Mormonism is upsetting.
And so the fact that they're like,
there's this,
and you know,
the series I'm talking about,
it's like really specific. The garments they're like there's this and you know the series I'm talking about it's like really specific the garments they're wearing
are really specific and it's so
specific to that
experience that like you
are sort of laughing because you're like it's like
the scene will start and the guy will be like
now go inside kneel at the altar
and begin the ritual and it's like
and the ritual is like blindfolded
and then they have to like lie down on a bed of nails or
some shit like well and it's like I'll come in and read the rites.
And it's like, what are you talking about?
We want to watch you have sex, but it's funny to me.
All those religions are about sex.
They're deeply, deeply horny.
And Mormonism is one of the horniest of them all
because there's so much talk about the underwear
and you're seeing the girl with the braid and the dress
and the whole time you're thinking like,
I can't wait to fuck her like because she's so covered like whatever it's all it's all deeply sexual and also it's a religion just like all based on men wanting to fuck a bunch
of young girls that too i also like another another archetype i really like is can you come
over and fix something broken in my house? My trampoline is broken, dude.
You want to come over and jump on my trampoline
naked to see if it could work?
For sure, dude. I'll come right over.
Here's my search word.
I was going to say there are only three stories in pornography.
Mormonism,
fixing something at home,
and espionage.
I'm going to add a third one.
These are my search words.
Summer will come forth. These are my search words. Fourth even. Summer come fourth.
These are my search words.
Real couple making love.
I've done it so many times.
Revolutionary.
But the couple has to be hot and I have to think both of them are hot.
And there's this one couple
that have great production value,
great lighting, nice bedspread.
It's all set up.
And it all starts with them.
Also their lube is like in
these little mason jars oh my god so i think they make it themselves or whatever like is it just like
coconut oil it's just so organic it's very jane um and they just like look into each other's eyes
and like finger each other and tell each other how beautiful they are and then it's like a hard
cut to like there's two there's another couple in the are and then it's like a hard cut to like there's two
there's another couple in the bedroom and then they're like fucking the other couple and like
looking at each other but you're not emotionally invested in this random other couple though right
sometimes i am well i'm really invested in them and i've also just watched i don't like you know
i've watched this is rare for me i've watched several videos of this woman giving this guy
a prostate orgasm and the way that he like directs her it's so trusting and beautiful
and the way that he spreads his legs and like will be like barely any on my cock barely anything
lighter lighter lighter like and she's just looking at him and she's so patient
it's it's loving it's deeply loving the way you made the guy sound though was he's fucking hot
okay yeah because that's actually hot behavior he's the hot one but the tone that you were
sort of reenacting it sounded like he was like trying to like put in an order at a restaurant. No, no, no, no.
He is, I think very like very much the way that women sometimes,
I mean, maybe it's the same way with men,
have to be very specific about like this is how I'm going to come.
He is doing that and it's so trusting and loving.
I see.
Well, I love that.
I love that so much.
And vulnerable.
I mean, she has like a big dildo up his butt.
Yeah.
And is like dragging him off. I mean, there's a guy that so much. And vulnerable. I mean, she has like a big dildo up his butt. Yeah. And is like tracking him off.
I mean, there's a guy that I watch.
And he's like a weird British guy.
Uh-huh.
But he like tries out dildos.
And he's like, it's a dildo tutorial.
Like we all need to figure out how to use it.
He's like, it's a tutorial for this one.
And I'll review it.
It's like so weird.
But it works for me.
And he also like models like um gear and then he he
obviously like sometimes he'll turn on like some music and like you know he'll jack off but the
thing is like he's such a weird guy but i'm so into it and i think i want to have some weird
sex soon you're into weird i like that i want to get a little summer of cunt. I want to get a little fucked up. Summer of cunt is about getting fucked and getting fucked weird.
Yeah, I really would like to.
Not me.
I'm not horny right now at all.
I'm not horny.
You know what?
We talked about this.
Like, I would like to in theory, but then it's August, bitch.
It's like something weighs you down.
No, too hot.
Now it's like when I'm not fucking, I'm kind of like, it's actually fine.
I have a headache.
Yeah.
It's hot.
Welcome.
Welcome. that's what
the weird British guy
with a dildo up his ass
is for
and he smiles
while he does it
so cold in London
where he lives
where he lives
well
Matt has put his hands
on his mouth
because he's
having a rare moment
of have I said too much
this is like
the only time
I've ever seen this happen
he's like
all of a sudden
shy and shocked
once a year
he goes
oh I said that it's cold in London
did I go too far
wait
it was a good PR
from Miss Taylor Swift
for August
the month of August
when she released August
I think that she
she's delusional girl
well now
now I love the month of August
because I'm like
that song is so special
August flipped away
I thought that the other day
like a moment in time
I thought
I literally almost
thought like explicitly and convinced myself that was true is so special. August flipped away. I thought that the other day. Like a moment in time. I thought I literally almost thought
like explicitly
and convinced myself
that was true.
Like, oh, now,
well, we have August by Taylor.
And so, you know,
but also like,
I have to be honest,
it's not enough.
It's not enough for me
to get over August
being what it is.
I'm going to say these words.
You don't like August?
I hate,
I'm like literally explicit about it.
Oh, no, this song
is one of my favorite songs
of all time. It's just not enough. But I'm like literally explicit about it. Oh, no. This song is one of my favorite songs of all time.
It's just not enough.
But I'm going to say these words.
Okay.
And they're associated with the month of August.
Mm-hmm.
You're back beneath the sun wishing I could write my name on it.
On it.
Will you call when you're back at school?
You call.
It's August after all.
I remember thinking I had you.
It's such a good song, bitch. It's a beautiful song. I remember thinking I had you It's such a good song
It's a beautiful song
I remember thinking I had you
That's such a beautiful line
It makes me cry
It's such a gorgeous song
Taylor really slapped
Emotions are so beautiful
She really snapped on folklore
Snapped on folklore
We were out dancing last night
Can we say
Yes we did
You Belong With Me came out at the club
It really truly did
perfect song
and I think
that's like
I sort of
forgot how drunk
I got last night
but I chugged
a couple martinis
ooh
I woke up hungover
which is
humiliating
because I didn't even
go to the second
or third location
it was just a second one
Sudi crushed
Sudi crushed
of course
crushed
wow Just a second one. Sudi crushed. Sudi crushed, of course. Crushed. Wow.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back.
I love that. I love that.
Oh my gosh.
Welcome.
And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg.
You're recording us?
I am disgusted.
Never in a million years
after everything
we've been through
did I think that you
would reach out
to our sworn enemy.
We were friends.
How could you
do this to me?
I don't trust her.
The Real Housewives
of Salt Lake City.
Wednesdays at 9 on Bravo
or stream it
on City TV+. 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 and the desperate part got
me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be
a desperate delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything
that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero
accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose
with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Trust me, you won't want to miss this one. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

Okay, speaking of Mormonism, is this a perfect segue into
Okay, you know what? Everybody
make peace. Readers, make peace
with the fact that this is, we're going to talk
about Taylor Swift at least once per episode.
We're going to talk about one of the Real Housewives
shows. Speak truth. Like, it's
fine. Everybody, at this point, like
everyone that i know watches
it and i know a lot of different kinds of people i will say brag sorry but we're all watching house
swine and no one's too cool for it no one's above it no do not criticize the pod at this point
everybody is lucky that it is still a thing and i'm gonna. And you got to be grateful for every day that these two fucking deem it worthy of their time to talk into a microphone.
And guess what?
They're going to say whatever the fuck they want to say.
I will say it's so easy to just skip ahead.
Like that's what I'm saying.
Like if it wasn't, it's not like watching a TV show where it's like you kind of have to get your Apple TV remote and like negotiate the.
And I know you hate
the Apple remote.
It's so sensitive.
So sensitive.
And you have to negotiate it.
Like a taint.
With the podcast,
it's like there's a button
that's a future button.
You can go to the future.
You hit 30, 30, 30.
And if you like
what you hear then,
just keep going.
Stay there.
Also, this podcast
is so fucking long.
We have done hours,
thousands of hours
of non- non housewives content
so when the salt lake city
2 trailer comes out and it fucking
snaps a work of art
and it's a work of art top to bottom every
second was gold
we're gonna talk about it and now we said
it also what do they want you to talk about
fucking jane austen guess what we did
we gave her so much time today
it's like she's gonna to get her whole moment.
This is a literary podcast.
It is.
We talk about books.
This is a literary Bravo podcast.
And everybody is lucky it exists.
But anyway,
the fucking Salt Lake trailer,
let's just say
Jen is a maniac villain.
She's a mad villain.
Mad villain.
She's now like literally
like the big boss.
And Meredith has engaged.
Meredith has engaged.
Detective Lisa, I said said I pitched her a new
tagline on Instagram I said
I want this to be Lisa Barlow's tagline for the season
I'll take a hamburger
a large fry and the truth
and guess what Lisa saw it cause you tagged her
and she saw it and she said you made my day
you made my day
you made my day
that's amazing
I love that.
I love that.
Oh, I love that.
I love that.
I said you could have it for free.
I don't know.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh my God.
Well, you know who we need to have on
literally soon to do her Lisa Barlow
is Vanessa.
Vanessa.
Vanessa's Lisa Barlow is,
it's like one of those things
where you don't hear it
and then you hear it
and then you're like,
thank God.
Oh, you're so happy that it exists.
Thoughts on what we think Heather Gay's season
is going to be like after being like sort of
the victor of season one.
I'm worried that she has a writer now.
I'm worried that like there's somebody,
like, you know, when like Paula Abdul,
first season of American Idol,
all of a sudden was saying things like touchdown,
you know, like I'm worried that she's going to be
too self-aware and, you know, it's I'm worried that she's going to be too self-aware
and, you know,
it's going to be,
you're going to see her thinking.
Like, my thing is that Rihanna, like,
DM'd me and I'm the funny one
and I'm the real one
and I'm worried she's going to play too much into it.
She's going to play to Rihanna.
She's going to play to Rihanna.
She's going to now just have,
be thinking of catchphrases
and then saying them over and over again.
Which is Wendy Osefo's current
sort of affliction. Although, I don't know.
With Wendy, I just kind of feel like I'm watching
some woman go through some sort of
psychological break
and there's a real
like there's some real psychosis
happening and it's happening
with a very intelligent
complicated woman and I'm
along for the ride. I a long for the ride.
Yes.
I think I'm a long for the ride.
Whenever she,
you know,
she hasn't said the word degrees one time and she said candle too much.
So it's sort of the binary.
Remember?
Like you're either someone who's like my degrees or you're someone who's like
my candle.
And I think that she's somewhere and lost in the middle.
She's,
she's neither right now.
Remember when Wendy was talking about
when she was getting her degrees
and she had her two boys
and she would be breastfeeding
and working on her dissertation
and how she wouldn't sleep.
She would sleep like three hours a night
and she did that for years.
That, I remember thinking like,
oh my God,
that is not a way to live your life.
That's trauma.
That's so hard what she did.
And the fact that she's like,
new body, these kids literally suck the life out of my breasts.
New body, candles.
I'm very, I don't support it, but I'm very interested.
It makes sense to me.
It makes so much sense.
Yes.
It makes, she saw an opportunity.
She's trying to create a new beginning for herself and also, you know,
a lot of people, when you watch yourself on
TV, like, you go through something.
You know what I mean? She's seen herself edited
and maybe she thought, maybe she thought her character
wasn't fun. Maybe she's like,
but wait, I'm watching this show and I'm
fun. Yeah. Like, and
like, maybe she's going a little
too far in that direction. I mean, I think
that Wendy's having a better second season than Leah.
Oh, sure, sure, sure.
It's too much pressure,
too much put on Leah's shoulders.
To be the new Bethany.
Too quickly.
She's more fun when she pops.
When she's the whipped cream on top,
she can't be the banana in the Sunday.
Yeah, oh my God, that's amazing.
That's a great point.
How everyone is the banana,
I honestly think,
and I really don't like saying this,
but I think the way, the only way you save New York really
is to bring Bethany back.
Bring Bethany back, bring back Ramona,
and then bring back Dorinda.
I think Dorinda was on Watch What Happens Live,
and she was like, I think they should bring us all back.
I think what would be fun is seeing the older cast
and the newer cast and see what happens.
But I'm happy.
You know, I'm happy.
And I'll go back.
I'm very fortunate and blessed.
And you know, if I did go back,
I wouldn't have written this book.
And I read the book
and I'm happy
that I'm sharing with everyone.
Dorinda, I heard,
I saw that you put
Bluestone Manor on Airbnb.
What's that about?
Well, I'm inviting everyone
to come to my Airbnb. And wouldn't that be fun? A reality show about Bluestone Manor on Airbnb. What's that about? Well, I'm inviting everyone to come to my Airbnb.
And wouldn't that be fun?
A reality show about Blue Stone Manor.
I think that would be fun.
Just saying.
That is Dorinda.
You're barely changing your voice.
You want to know why you once
told me I was Dorinda? Because when I drink
it gets a little dark.
He gets so dark.
He gets so dark.
That's any of the New York housewives.
I don't like that anymore.
That's not specific to Dorinda though.
Can I say yes, that is true.
And when Sudi is saying that she's
associating drinking with getting dark for me,
it's because all those times
happened in August. August in New York.
I was drinking a lot and getting dark.
Last night you drank a lot and you got fresh with me.
Was I being fresh?
You were just like, you're coming.
You're coming to the next location.
It wasn't dark.
I was being definitive and I think trying to be funny.
But maybe it was reading as like...
The look in your eyes was
you're doing as I said.
Well, because I I honestly like
needed that because I unfortunately
had that thing readers where last night I was that
flop who told everyone to
leave one place to go to another place and
arrive and it was closed and we were
with truly about outside
or outside with about 30
people who came from our little island show
and it was like oh I personally
disappointed dozens of people who I from our Little Island show and it was like, oh, I personally disappointed dozens
of people who I love and care about.
We forgave you.
It wasn't your fault. It was the restaurant's fault.
When restaurants are closed,
it's their fault. That's actually Roller Culture number nine.
When restaurants are closed, it's their fault.
Be open.
I
think that we are in for
some great television from Bravo.
Going forward.
Going forward.
And I'm putting it into the atmosphere.
I want to be on Watch What Happens Live.
Yes.
It's like not my summer of cunt because it's not happening soon.
But at some point in the next year or so,
I really want to do Watch What Happens Live.
It's literally one of my life dreams.
That's huge.
I think you should. It's literally one of my life dreams. That's huge. I think you should
It's so thirsty.
This is such a gross
thing to put out.
This is very
inside baseball.
Do you have a publicist?
No.
I see you hire one
and then you push
like for when
Q-Force comes out
in September
you should be like
can we get me on?
I'll be your publicist.
Yeah.
I can call and be like
hi this is Sudie Green
I'm working with Matt Rogers
and he has some really exciting things
coming up and we're just wondering
yeah, absolutely. I just feel like
yeah, absolutely.
That's great.
I mean, I've said it. I think I've said it on this
pod before. If I was less talented, I'd be
the biggest agent in the world.
I will say, I've shot on publicists on this podcast
before I had my own, and I really
do appreciate them.
It's a hard job.
It's a hard fucking job.
They're type A people who get shit done.
They're so good at doing that.
It is also a job for New York women, and I can never hate a job full of New York women.
Love it.
There should be, honestly, a reality show about publicists.
Is there?
Well, there was that show.
Well, yes, there was that show well yes there
was that show that was on i think it was on bright well who's that woman kelly kelly katron
kelly katron had her own reality show and then crawl show they had that oh yeah yeah so funny
i honestly think maybe maybe it hasn't been done well yet but i would love to see it's fast that
energy harness it's fascinating speaking of harnessing energy, it is at this
moment, because we are running up on almost
we, fucking Walter's gonna kick us
the hell out of here soon, so we gotta do
I Don't Think So Honey, which is
you know, such a fun segment. So fun.
It's really such a blast. That's really
I think we really got
we really found something with I Don't Think So Honey.
The other day, we were going to the Lady Gaga
concert with Tony Bennett featuring Tony that. The other day, we were going to the Lady Gaga concert with Tony Bennett, featuring Tony Bennett.
The Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett's final
concert ever, by the way.
Bowen Yang pulled Tony Bennett out of the troll ball
last night and said, you could never be Gaga.
I said, how dare you
have Gaga be your opener?
You want to be her.
You never will be her.
But anyway, we were walking in
and this guy goes to Bowen.
My favorite is, I don't think
so, honey.
We celebrate him. We send a kiss to him.
But it's a one minute segment. You explain it.
It's a one minute
segment where you rail against
something in culture that
you don't think so, honey.
And you gotta be, talk fast.
You gotta be, speak truth, as, honey. Yeah. And you got to be, talk fast. You got to be,
speak truth,
as Kamala would say.
Yes.
And you got to be funny.
You got to be funny.
But don't try too hard.
Also, as Kamala would say,
do not come.
If you, do not come.
If you're not going to come.
If you, if you,
but I'm saying,
if you come during
I Don't Think So Honey,
that's bad.
Don't, don't,
don't have an orgasm.
Don't have an orgasm.
As Kamala also said,
y'all going to drag me for this.
I think Kamala is funny.
Unfortunately, as a person in the
way she waved to the
crowd that one time, her laughing in her
pride jacket. I enjoy
the Kamala thing because
you know that behind the scenes, it's like she's basically
ordering around the stormtroopers. You what i mean like i what i love is like i i literally we
were really stoned in galaxy's edge and there was like a huge like ship and i was like i pointed to
it and i said kamala energy she's a stormtrooper is such a serious woman yeah she is such a serious woman who can access this manic joy projection that is like, it's in her eyes.
Yeah.
Exactly, when she's walking out at Pride or when she's waving to the bus.
And it is fascinating that that is a part of her.
Yeah.
Because you know it doesn't, I'm not saying that it's inauthentic.
I think that it's there and it's in there.
I agree, it's there.
But it's like Hillary looking at the balloons.
They access this thing that is just that part of their lives because in the rest of their lives, they have to be so serious.
Right.
They have to be so serious.
She has to do, do not come.
Yeah.
And she also has to do, y'all get it, right?
I know.
I know.
And she has to wave that way and look like a patriotic monument.
Really.
Being a woman is hell.
Truly.
It's hell and everything is a trap.
And I'm saying I have admiration for her.
And I know that she's, you know,
problematic amongst progressives. And I understand. she's, you know, problematic amongst progressives.
And I understand.
But I do...
We understand.
We understand.
I watch it and I laugh.
And when she said,
oh, y'all are going to drag me for this,
I did think it was funny
because I just did.
The first time you did that,
I thought,
is he allowed?
And now the third time
that you've done it,
I'm like, he is.
And you are the arbiter.
Yeah, I get to decide.
One thing I would like to do is go back in time
and just tap myself on the shoulder a few times
when I said some things early on in the podcast
and just be like, are you allowed?
But it's too late.
But you've learned.
And I've grown and changed.
You've grown and changed.
Okay.
That's just a part of life.
Anyway, I don't think so, honey.
I'll go.
You want to go first?
Great.
Okay.
This is Matt Rogers' I Don't Think So, Honey.
His time starts now. I don't think so, honey.
Too much milk or creamer in the
iced coffee. Let me say that.
Get a grip.
And when I say get a grip, get a grip on something
else that isn't the goddamn handle of milk
you're using to pour it into
my goddamn iced.
Let me tell you something. I don't want to drink milk i want to
drink iced coffee if i wanted to come here do you think i would order a coffee or a milk and like
i i don't think so honey i'm not going to the coffee shop for milk so why pray tell
when i sort of suck the straw paper these days and I'm finding that it's mostly milk.
Oat or almond usually for me,
sorry climate,
but that's usually what it is.
And especially when it's almond milk,
this isn't even 2%. This isn't even what they'd say
in the 90s you should be drinking
to get out to wait off osteoporosis.
This is almond milk, mama.
I don't want to drink
mostly the milk of the oat.
I want to drink iced coffee.
I'm here for energy.
I'm here for a good time.
I'm here to sustain. I'm not here for milk. If I was, I'd be at the pasture. I don't think iced coffee. I'm here for energy. I'm here for a good time. I'm here to sustain. I'm not here for
milk. If I was, I'd be at the pasture.
I don't think so, honey, that I'm there.
That's one minute.
I loved that.
You kept it going.
And also, I think, can we
name names? I think it's
Duncan that is like the biggest
sort of overall perpetrator.
Not even just milk with them too because the sugar
is really where it gets uncouth. It's untoward.
I don't order anything except
black coffee at Dunkin' Donuts
because I don't trust their hands.
When you're drinking it and you can't even
drink, you can't taste the coffee, you're just tasting
milk. It's so upsetting. I don't trust people who
say that Dunkin' Donuts is their coffee place. That's how
you know Ben Affleck is a serial killer.
No, Dunkin' is so their coffee place. That's how you know Ben Affleck is a serial killer. No, Dunkin is so...
I will not hear this.
Dunkin is so much better than
Starbucks. It's not even funny.
You're from the East Coast.
That's what that is.
Because Starbucks is trying to give me
Seattle roast. The coffee
tastes like cigarettes. Whereas Dunkin
is like, we are who we are
and you're choosing this.
And I appreciate that. And I actually think it's
solid. That is the second
time that someone has described
coffee tasting like cigarettes in a day,
and I've never heard that. Greta did it earlier. We had
coffee, and she was like, does this taste like cigarettes
to you? And I was like, why would it taste like cigarettes?
It's that burnt taste.
Okay. I don't know. I don't taste them.
It's, well, you know, I think... You're not going to drag me for this. Not to bring up SNL, taste it's that broil taste I don't know I don't taste them it's well
you know
I think
not to bring up
SNL
but for Sudi to
cape so hard
for Dunkin Donuts
I don't mind
Dunkin Donuts
but for you to be
very loyal
is East Coast culture
it's working in
SNL culture
going to the
one under 30 rock
I think that's
what you're attached to
yeah the one under
30 rock
where they call you sweetie.
Medium iced milk, sweetie.
They always have the perfectly ripe bananas. I'll go back.
Let's go. I miss it.
Lauren, take me back.
Hey, Mr. Michaels.
Here I am.
Beanie
is playing Fanny Bryson.
We can't go down that road.
We love Beanie. I want Beanie on the pod.
Let's get Beanie on.
This is Bowen Yang's
I Don't Think So Honey. Is he ready?
He nods confidently
as I press play.
It's time. Starts now.
I Don't Think So Honey hard outs.
No one honors them.
What's the point of even asking for one
or receiving one from someone like
we're not gonna
hold it up we're not gonna do it
we're going we only had
the room for two hours here we're doing this in person
and poor Walter is having to sit here
working overtime we've
run the clock 15 minutes after
our allotted time we weren't
given a hard out we did not say we had a hard out but we
are the schedules aren't being,
the schedules are very arbitrary.
I just think,
I've never in my life
had a hard out honored.
I think,
let's just like,
delete them as a concept.
Okay?
Like,
if you're going to show up somewhere,
expect to be there
for an indefinite amount of time.
Forever.
Forever.
For 15 seconds.
And that is so liberating
to sort of,
you know,
be untethered from time
in that way.
So hard outs,
I mean,
the only person
who should have a hard out
should be Katie Couric
because she is up
for the best asker award.
Yeah.
And she,
and she just deserves
her time to,
you know,
catch people.
Write a speech.
And that's one minute.
I have never
had a hard out.
Truly.
I've seen hard outs.
I've seen hard outs spring into action.
And it is a hard out right to the minute.
At SNL they're honored.
But anywhere else.
Not always at all.
So for people that might not know,
a hard out is when you say,
I actually have to.
Not everyone that does,
I have to leave at five.
I'm so sorry.
I have a hard out at five.
Just like we were told today there was a hard out at seven.
It's a 705.
650.
Oh, 650.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
All right.
So that's what we're saying.
We don't think so, honey.
So that's why we're not doing a hard out.
Walter told me there's no one booked after this.
And so we do get to like color outside the lines a little bit.
But Walter wants to go home.
No, he wants to hear us talk about a Scala.
He wants to hear it.
He loves a Scala.
He loves a Scala.
Do you, have you, have you been able to understand anything we've said?
Like in terms of a Scala.
Do you know who that is?
Did you, but you were laughing at his Dorinda impression in a way that made me think that
you knew Dorinda.
So the impression just seemed funny.
And that's how you know
it's a good impression.
That's amazing.
Lauren.
Lauren.
Biggest mistake of his life.
Vlog.
He has a Dorinda.
He has a Dorinda.
Might be fun.
Matt has a Dorinda.
Matt has a Dorinda.
It's that thing where
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's got a book coming out.
She's got a book coming out.
She's hosting.
And you I was watching
Watch What Happens
and
it's that thing
anybody heard it?
anybody heard it?
could be fun
could be fun
and you know
Candice is coming on
her musical guest
musical guest
incredible
drive back
drive back
sweeping the country
big hit
big hit topping the charts
could be fun
could be fun
could be interesting
could be interesting Could be interesting
You know
Matt also has a canvas
But he shouldn't do it
No everybody needs to be saying
Can I give notes
Everybody needs to be saying
Fewer words and longer pauses
Yeah
And
I'm not putting Erica out there
She's been through a lot
She's been through a lot
You know
It's that thing
Where the husband
Yeah Yeah Yeah So now been through a lot. You know, it's that thing where the husband...
Yeah.
So, now
this is going to be
Sudi Greens, I don't think so, honey.
And Sudi, are you ready?
You've sort of done two in the last
24 hours already. I know. Oh my god.
You're on fire. She's on fire.
And they both were slays. And this one,
I know it's going to be no exception.
This is Sudi Green's I Don't Think So Honey
on Summer of Cunt 4.
And her time starts now.
I don't think so honey hiking.
Hiking, you're a walk
but harder. I don't
like to hike. Every boyfriend I've ever had
in my life, I've had to hike with them.
I have to pretend to hike.
I have to pretend to like it.
And then guess what? About six months in,
the truth comes out, which is that
hiking, you're not watching a movie.
Be watching a movie.
Also, you want to be
in the middle of nature, in the middle
of nowhere, alone.
You are a white man.
You are a white man saying that
and it is a white man space,
and I don't like to have to climb.
I don't like to have—I like nature,
but I don't want to have to go into nature to be in nature.
Does that make sense?
And just struggle for it.
Also, the thing is with hiking, you do the hike to the point,
and guess what you have to do after that?
Walk back.
Okay, walk back.
And sometimes people are trying to trick you and say that the walk back is easier.
But it's harder because I'm tired.
I don't think so.
Hiking.
And that's one minute.
That's incredible.
You know, what's hard about the walk down is it's hard on your calves because you're like going down the hill.
Oh, and then your feet are kind of sloped down like this.
You're doing the... And that's when you notice if you're not wearing the right footwear. Oh, and then your feet are kind of sloped down like this. You're doing the, it's so-
And that's when you notice
if you're not wearing the right footwear.
Yeah, that's when you know.
To me, it's the performance that I do
for every man that I've ever known.
Not true, not every man, but most of them
where I'm like, yeah, let's go on a hike.
And then it's the tension of how much do I suffer through?
And when do they find out, A, that I'm not really in shape for this?
And B, that the secret is I would so much rather be doing literally anything else.
What can I say?
And this will maybe renegotiate the performance aspect of this.
You and I have enjoyed a hike together.
Okay, what I would call the hikes that we've
gone on, and this is important, nature
walks. Love it.
And we all love a nature
walk. I love a nature walk. Give me
a path, you know, off a road,
easy parking, and I'm
smelling the trees for a little bit.
I can't be doing these
mountain... You're bouldering.
I'm Oregon trailing up in this ditch. You also don't need to be hiking to walk. You're bouldering. I'm Oregon trailing up
in this bitch. You also don't need to be hiking
to walk. You know what I mean?
Exactly. And if you're walking, you actually
like, you know, steps wise,
they're the same. So if you
walk up a hill and it's a hike,
quote unquote, you could have walked down
the street around nature, thanks,
and logged as
many steps and still it's calories
carrying down like getting lost.
Can I? So,
I don't know. Can I ask them a thing?
I do love them. And you're going to love the way you look in LA when you start.
Griffith Park, is that a hike or a nature walk?
Oh, it's a hike. I think if it's
up, if it's
up the hill and you're feeling
in your ass,
you're feeling it, I think that that's a hike.
To me, a hike is defined not
only by distance and remoteness, but
also strenuousness.
Do you like the Griffith Park hike?
No, but I'll do it to get a nice ass.
We love the Griffith Park hike.
I'll do it to
get a nice ass, but I won't do it
because I say I love going on a hike.
It's a means to an end. It's not the thing that you want to be doing. I don't like working. But I won't do it because I say I love going on a hike. It's a means to an end.
It's not the thing that you want to be doing.
I don't like working out and I don't do it.
I have to tell you, that's been a part of Summer of Cunt for me is I now do enjoy it.
Don't.
I don't want to hear it.
Stop it.
Stop.
Literally, please shut up.
Thank you.
This is Summer of Cunt.
The boundaries.
That's right.
That's 100% right
100%

I think this has been, and wow, we laughed.
We literally cried. What can I say?
I think this is an iconic Summer of
Cunt. Summer of Cunt.
Quad. I think it's
Can I have a pitch for a title? Yeah.
Summer for? Like no cunt. Yeah. Summer of... I think it's... Can I have a pitch for a title? Yeah. Summer 4?
Like, no cunt.
Yeah.
Or... Or cunt 4.
So it's like Fast 5?
Huh?
So it's like Fast 5?
Or when it's like Furious 7,
you know,
like when they swap out.
We now know that like
the word...
So the word furious
is inferred now
with any Fast and the Furious movie
so much so that you don't need it
in the actual title.
So the word cunt
is sort of inferred with this so you don't need it.
Summer 4. What about
cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt?
I like that.
We're going to have a vote
on one of the most
popular websites online
which is called Twitter.
And it's going to be between the two.
We're going to ask our
readers. We're going to ask the Twitter sphere
which is always responsible.
Yeah.
And definitely when we post the word cunt on,
even if it's spelled with a K on Twitter,
people will have like,
they'll have a good sense of humor about it.
Yes.
And they'll be constructive
and be willing to play along with us.
Absolutely.
I trust everyone.
I trust them for sure.
No one flag it.
No one report.
No one flag it, faggots.
Faggots.
Okay.
This has been one of the best times
and we're all going to wave to each other.
And I kind of,
I know what song I want to sing at the end

Okay.
Would you lead us in the theme song
to A Wrinkle in Time?
Only you can ring the time.
