When will they finally reach the bottom, girl? Well, I think we hit our bottom this morning. Honey. So let's full disclose. The last five, six days have been a blitz. And it's been so lovely and so wonderful. But then yesterday we did finally sort of indulge ourselves in maybe watching The Hours with a bunch of people in a K-hole.

Basically, what happened at the end of the Fire Island trip was we put on the film The Hours starring Nicole Kidman in an Oscar-winning performance. We'll get into that later. And, of course, Miss Julianne Moore. And they won the only Meryl Streep. And don't forget Toni Collette. And Claire Danes. And Claire Danes.

Jeff ed harris jeff daniels really say that now um what happens is uh you sort of get to the point in a fire island vacation which we really ended up taking this weekend we took the point the vacation sort of sort of a preview of what's going to happen next month when we really go yeah and sort of found ourselves sort of sitting around... With nothing to do except... Just indulge in the hours. In the hours. The 2002 film,

That Is Fine. Oh! Well, we don't have time to get into this. First of all... Yeah. I... I've struggled today.

You've struggled today. We've both struggled in different ways. One of the most emotional periods of my young life. It was actually a very emotional day. And i think we are ending it in the t-h-e-e the the most perfect way and the stallion the way the way and here's the thing first of all we want to say a huge thank you

to everyone that streamed fire island and is streaming fire island you're literally bowling us over with emotion, seriously. And this is not a joke. A lot of what we've said so far has been sort of like a quote-unquote joke. And sometimes when you listen to this podcast, a lot of times we'll be quote-unquote joking, which is something comedians do when they want to not be too serious.

So this part of the podcast is more serious when I say, thank you for streaming Fire Island. You've been so kind. You've been so kind. Thank you so much for all of the nice messages. Yeah. Really, I mean, I feel so blessed. We live under a lucky star.

We live under a lucky star, which I feel like I've been saying a lot. And sort of what kids get when they've been good is a treat. Is a treat. And so what has happened today is we have sort of gathered into the studio Bowen, myself, and our guest. And our guest.

Who I believe is the cherry on top of the Fire Island Sunday. Wouldn't you say, Bow? I think our, not my words, but the lovely SNL Network Twitter account has pointed out how our guest was the breakout star of the movie and shared the screen with me in the past on an SNL sketch. Yeah. If I had known that I was going to be meeting one of my sistren that day. You would have done it so different. You would have been so much nicer on set that day.

I think I was nice. Instead of the big bad wolf. Instead of the big bad wolf that you are. BBW. Big beautiful woman. Big beautiful woman. Instead of the big bad wolf that you are. BBW. Big beautiful woman. Big beautiful woman. You are such a big beautiful woman, Beau. You are a big beautiful woman.

I think our guest is the biggest, most beautiful, most woman woman. And you know what happens to cherries? They pop. They get popped. Absolutely. Absolutely. Say that. Oh my God, coy laugh.

Coy laugh at the nail our coy little guest is truly a talent a superstar a charismatic force of nature pure charisma pure talent pure beauty personified personified and we are literally um we we've well iconically we went to go see them in hadestown on Broadway, and we told them we had tickets, and they said, oh, girl, I'm not in the show today, but let me knock knees, and they did the show just for us. And iconically, we were going to go see them in Diana, the musical, but we all got Omicron. I did.

I did, at least. You did, and then I proceeded to get Omicron. And then all of New York City got Omicron, and so I think they did shut down the show early. Unfortunately, yes. And that was tragic. But none of that stopped this bitch

from stealing our hearts and the show and the scenes of Fire Island directed by Andrew Ann written by Joel Kim Booster starring Bowen Yang. Can I just say

new favorite line in the film? And I've rewound it many, many times today. What is it? Maybe they killed him. Maybe they killed him. We don't even know if anything it? Maybe they killed him. Maybe they killed him. We don't even know if anything happened. Maybe they killed him.

Maybe they killed him. It's so funny. And I have a little smile in that moment, which was very real. Very real. And that's sort of how you know that the good energy, and I'm getting tactile right now. I'm getting tactile.

You really don't run in the gym when I spied you. No, girl. I like to, you know, find out where the girls are going. Stay in one spot in the gym so we can actually purvey and survey but running giving gawking giving gawking running is good

because you get to stay in one place technically and just like on a treadmill at least and just scope out the place wait that's actually a very good idea bitch

and did you know you might be learning something did you know too that you you burn barely a little bit more calories running than you do walking?

Really? You just walk at a brisk pace, and it's basically the same calories. And then you won't have to sweat. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. Damn, Fish. You're so smart. Y'all start getting smart.

We're your big sisters. You're uncle and your aunt. My uncle and my auntie. My crazy cunt uncle and auntie. But I was telling Fish, I was telling Tomas, I tomas i was like oh right i keep forgetting that you're 24 well it's because you have the old spirit yeah but you know old soul down old soul down but still with the youth damn you think absolutely i mean look at you it gives you energy at all times tell me about so tell me about because we know but the people want to know like you went to

la guardia high school uh-huh hopped off there uh-huh did you have to study something there like what's the tea you can do everything i was a dance major so i did like a block of dance and then all the academics after uh-huh or like it would be switched depending on my year so my senior year it was like all academics and then dance. So what I would normally do is skip all my academics. For sure. And then just come for dance, bitch. Yeah, yeah.

Because I was like, bitch, I'm about to be a star. I don't need to know global history, bitch. No shade. Yes. No shade. River valleys, et cetera, Mesopotamia. You've answered every question on the test. Girl, I'm done.

I don't need to know that the mitochondria is the motherfucking powerhouse of the cell, girl. I don't care. It sounds like you remember. the motherfucking powerhouse of the cell, girl. I don't care. It sounds like you remember. I can't believe I just said that, man. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Wow, the 24-year-old jumped out. Damn, bitch.

That proximity to high school. Honestly, that sentence alone is cunt. Absolutely. The mitochondria is... It's actually a rule of culture. Number 17. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

it's a cunt sentence that's on period K-U-N-T and that's on period so yes so basically because you go to the fame high school

LaGuardia high school are they like sort of lackadaisical with the academics of it all because they know they have the talent in the house

or are they cracking the whip I mean like yes and no like I think I had a really good relationship with my teachers and also the principal, bitch. Yeah. So I remember, like, it got to a point where I'd literally just be like,

and I still talk to the teachers from there. Yeah. Like, I would just be like, bitch, can you just, can you pass this so I can get the fuck up out of here? It was giving teachers pet. It was giving teachers pet. Like, they are now my girls.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. What was the vibe like because i've always i feel like it's the school that everyone like is so curious about and i'm sure like you probably get so annoyed like being asked about it but like is the vibe like everyone's trying to be a star of course right but like is it like every big person i don't know like i can't imagine going to a school like that well where everyone's everyone's super, super, super. So talented. It's definitely giving talent.

Yeah. Like, everyone was so talented. And I think, especially because I was a dance major and now going into film and TV, it's kind of like, like, people are like, wait, what? You know, it's kind of like questionable. Yeah. For a dancer to be like, you know. But that happens all the time.

I think so. But I mean, like, everyone who came from LaGuardia was a drama major. Right. Nicki Minaj, drama major. Yeah, I remember that. Taki Chalamet, drama major. Yeah. Azealia?

Azealia, vocal major. Vocal major. Yeah, Azealia sings down. Awkwafina, trumpet major. Awkwafina went to LaGuardia? Yeah. It gave instrumental kind. It gave instrumental.

Wow. I didn't know that. Yeah, well, I honestly, and this was, it was like that at NYU too because I remember I was a writing major and Tish,

and I tried, I dipped my toe into some acting stuff and some people were supportive, but other people were very like, why don't you do your thing

and not, like, they felt threatened, I think, that someone from one pursuit would want to do another thing or like everyone should stick to their own thing because it is

Competitive and that does kind of come from the environment. Totally Yeah, but like we multi-hyphenate cunt so might as well do it all bitch if we can yeah You're multi-hyphenate in that you sing act dance know what the fuck a mitochondria is. So good to me. It's giving quadruple threat. Sing, dance, act, mitochondria. The sale. The sale.

You did like science. I know it. Were you a science girl? I mean, like, yes, but no, bitch. I mean, I... It depends. It definitely depends, bitch. Yeah. Like, I'm not doing an AP class.

No, no. It's not giving extra work. No. You would be a good biologist. You think, bitch? Like, I'm not doing an AP class. No, no. It's not giving extra work. No. You would be a good biologist. You think, bitch? You would, like, because you... Well, it's certainly serving body. Man, I mean...

Giving biology down, bitch. Let me get into these memories. Ew! Remember when we would take photos in the beginning, and then me and Tomas were sort of, like, crotch to butt, and then she was like, it's giving dick. Girl. Yeah.

Wait. Oh, my God. Wait, was this on the beach, that photo shoot? I think it was on the beach. It's giving top. Yes, bitch. It was giving top. Miss Thing, fish you packing, girl.

No shade. Is it shade if I'm packing? No shade. It's giving top. It was definitely giving top. Yeah, I finished top. That was a sexy little shoot. We always have sexy little shoots.

That was day one. Remember, it's so funny to watch the movie and then be like, just how out of order it all is. That day when

we're all laying out and I've got the sunscreen on my stomach and we're talking about what happened the night before. That was the night before. That was the first day. I remember being so nervous that day.

Really? Yeah. Talk about how you felt in the beginning. Yeah. Definitely like, I mean, you know, it was uncharted territory for me to be like stepping into like starring in a movie coming from like Broadway. So it was just, it was nerve wracking,

but it was also, I felt very safe, which is not something that I think I can say for a lot of places. Right. Like, I felt, and I think it was because, you know, we were all queer and we all come from the same family, that I really felt like, oh, I can be myself. And Andrew was so supportive and, like, we all just, like, really clicked really well. Yeah. So it felt really good that, like, I felt safe, bitch.

I felt like I was like, oh, no, no, no, I can do this. And I am capable of doing this. And so let me just do this. Yeah. This is so obvious to say, but I've been saying it, which is that like the thing that I think makes it read that we are this family unit is that Andrew did sit us down before the table read and was like, everybody share a story about either going to Fire Island

or like your favorite vacation memory. And I think that like locked it in for all of us. Like we all like, I don't know, there was just one pass of that question just like made it all congeal and like all of us were able to go into it. I think like, I don't think there was that much of a growth. I think it pretty quickly started out like,

okay, like let's do this. We're a unit. Yeah. I think that what's really fun about it is like started out like okay like let's do this we're a unit yeah i think that what's what's really fun about it is like it did feel like it well it's really all about chemistry right which is like not something you can explain just either is or it is not and the thing about the the five or six of us counting margaret is like it is giving very different individuals you know what i mean like and when you throw it all together, it seems to work. I think also because everyone

has a lot of respect for each other and everyone is their own vibe. But I do remember knowing that we were about to be Flotsam and Jetsam. You two? I can't. I was spending all day yesterday

with Tomas in the pool. That was, I was having a blast. That was so good. I was like all day yesterday with Tomas in the pool that was I was having a blast that was so good I literally was like I want to do this every time I go to a pool party on a hot island so fun

do you want to know what I was doing while that was happening girl getting numbers girl I hooked up upstairs you did with who oh my god get out

someone I met there oh and you know I needed it at the time yeah girl you definitely did it was a brief moment it was a brief moment.

It was a little make out. No, that's how it was. But fab. Fab. And also, I was just feeling like, so, like, I don't know. Because you know what it is. Like, we were just talking about before you got in here. Like, when you go to that island, like, even though, like, we come from it now of a place of, like, we've experienced it. We've done it.

We even did a movie that examined a lot of the themes about it. You still feel a certain type of way when you go there like we were we're talking like our anxieties are still there like bone was 100 i was like i was like it's so weird to come back even after the movies come out and still feel the same way i did like six years ago where i was like oh i feel a little inadequate i feel a little inferior like to all like or not paid attention to and like that's what the movie is and i don't know if it's sad if that like i haven't progressed past it or that i'm just like oh no this is just this is just like how i experience i don't know i think it's more universal than you think yes no it's so universal i think all three of us yeah experience

that 100 i feel like it's i, I felt the exact same way yesterday. I was like, I think especially because I'm sober now and I'm like going to the island of the potty. Yeah. It still feels like, and that's why I was like so happy I had you to just like kiki in the pool. Yes. Cause it was literally like, I felt, I felt like no shade scared.

I was like, I don't, but it felt good to like, you know, be with my girls. Yes. You know, you really always do present like an air of confidence and an air of security with yourself. But still, I often feel like maybe people think that about me too. And I'm often way more socially anxious than I put on all the time. Even talking about that first day, even having known Bowen and Joel, I still walked into that

being like scared as shit and there you come in like way younger than us like probably i mean you obviously knew who bowen was maybe you knew like joel probably knew margaret you know what i mean that had to be an intimidating thing and you come in with like the star quality oh my god and then you know but and then as i remember you expressed that you were feeling like imposter syndrome and I remember I reached out to you because I was like, you would never know and everyone is so fucking psyched that you're here. And then the movie comes out now

and everyone's like, Tomas, Tomas, Tomas. Absolutely. And I forgot how excited I was for everyone to meet you. Oh my god. It's giving love. It's giving love It's giving chosen It's giving chosen It's giving love

It was just like oh perfect I'm gonna be so my time with this person this is so so cool well what were you feeling like when because because for us it was like we have to be literally a half of like one person and i remember andrew said to us like i really don't want almost any shots where you're not both in the same shot like pretty much on top of each other so were you feeling nervous about meeting me, bitch? Honestly, no. I feel like I was like.

Yeah, I mean, we emailed. So like, we talked. Yeah. But I was also like, no. Like, I feel like whoever it's going to be, and I'm very happy it ended up being you who like, because we meshed so well. Literally. I was like, I'm just going to show up and show out, bitch.

And we going to kiki. And that's what the fuck we did. I honestly, because I guess like, I feel like in my life, I know what it's like to have like a real sister. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, this is the one right here. So I was like, all right, let's meet this bitch.

And then you came in. It was just immediate. And I remember when we like this, and this always makes me nervous. Like, tell me if this makes you feel nervous. Like, whenever like you're in a scenario like listen to me scenario scenario where you have we're like telling those stories about Fire Island and stuff

and like sharing our experiences and then he got us up on our feet to block a scene. Oh yeah, that was scary. The first blocking I'm always having a panic attack. I hate rehearsal. Yeah, I hate it.

I feel like I don't know why maybe it's because I come from Broadway but I felt I felt so good doing that oh good good good

I felt like that was for me the thing that meshed it all together yeah oh great because that was the first time I think and y'all get tactile right

yeah for sure that was the first time that we all like kind of we got to touch absolute hands we got tactile down yeah yeah yeah yeah and then we never stopped. Literally, we went home together.

You did? No. Yeah, we fucked. Stop it. Stay away. No way. Can't be. Can't be.

Tomas and I came up with two new bits yesterday, I think. What were the bits? Basically, whenever me and Tomas see each other, we're just quoting old bits basically but we added two new ones to the mix

which is the first one is to just like to just give like full jaw drop like as a reaction

to what someone else says the second thing is to add this sound to the end of any sentence like

instead of like a tongue pop or something you go wow like it's giving like it's giving stars born down at the end of anything the mouth agape though is really good the mouthcape is good i mean my favorite thing you do is disassociate oh bitch, bitch. Oh, yeah, bet.

So I basically had what back in the day they would call a nervous breakdown. I was crying and I was inconsolable. It was just very big sudden swaps of different meds. What is wrong with me?

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

Back when I was a server, I was one bad day away from a huge personal crisis. Thankfully, Giving Kitchen is here to serve those that serve us.

Las Culturistas, a pop culture podcast hosted by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. Okay, work. We ask you, and every guest that comes through here, what was the culture that made you say culture was for you? So this is, as you're growing up, you're young Tomas, you are coming of age in the world, and something you experience in pop culture or in culture around you that you look back and you feel like that was formative. Okay, I

have it, but I want to see if you guys can guess it from like a little thingy. Okay, okay, okay. I just think Gemma is a fat Are you about to say Tiffany Pollard? Tiffany knew you were a Pollard, man.

Oh my God. Absolutely. Talk about the cultural importance of Tiffany New York Pollard. I mean, I feel like Tiffany New York Pollard was an icon and still is. And still is. And still is an icon. Yes. Bye, pumpkin.

Bye, pumpkin. Do it. Do it. Slap me, bitch. No, do it. Do it scars me because Bowen will scream it so loud out of nowhere. I would do it on set. Do it!

It made it into the movie. It did. At the end. Did it? During last year. Oh, wait, yes, it did. Do it! You can hear it.

Wait, we're all yelling it, right? We're all yelling do it. Oh, that was fun. Tiffany Pollard is in the movie. Tiffany has had a cultural impact, not just on you, but on the film. On the film.

So, do you know from, was it from Flavor of Love? It was Flavor of Love. From the jump? It was Flavor of Love, the first season she was on, and when she came back and was like a guest.

I just want to say that I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. And I feel sorry for these girls. I feel sorry for these girls I feel sorry for these girls chin up

whatever chin up tasty this isn't a soup kitchen or whatever the fuck she would say Beyonce Beyonce Beyonce

she looks like Luther Vandross so many good lines truly and even after the lines after Flavor of Love and I Love New York

that are underappreciated too such as like break a leg what did you say to me? what did you say to me? I said break a leg I'm not gonna break a leg I'm gonna get the part

that's what I'm gonna do okay Tiffany she's telling me to break my legs she said I'm gonna break your legs break a leg is what we say to someone

when we wanna wish them luck just the scene of her going, uncovering her face. So what is it about her? Her unabashed power? Do you remember when you first saw her? I think it's like her unapologetic

authenticity. Tiffany New York Pollard is Tiffany New York Pollard. Yeah. Period. And people love her for it. And people love her for it. And people love her for it. It's kind of like, which was going to be my second one if I could pick two. You absolutely can. There's no rules.

Wendy. There is like a DNA, like a line of DNA. 100%. How you doing? How you doing? Okay, okay, okay. Is that the spiritual grandfather of what you doing? How you doing? Okay, okay, okay. Is that the spiritual grandfather of what you doing?

I think so. Yeah, I think so. How you doing? What are you doing? That was Tomasa's number one iconic thing is what are you doing? I should make a merch thingy. You really should. W-I-D.

Your clothing line is called W-I-D, bitch. You really are that Fashina Arnold I love. You really are, girl. Y'all be knowing. I mean, it is just like a perfect example. Okay, let's first off. I was a Gemini. I'm laughing thinking about Tomas and Hadestown giving their trade ensemble. And I was doing it yesterday and I was like, that was so funny.

Just knowing fish in real life and then the trade, the trade ensemble. I was doing it yesterday and I was like that was so funny like just knowing fish in real life and then the trade the trad day ensemble the trad day on stage girl it was really giving heat she gives

she definitely gives yeah I think and honestly no shade I think the reason why I can do that is because I had to at one point for life

you know you have to code switch as like a survival tactic yes yes but now I'm at this point and I think I'm so happy that this movie is out because. As like a survival tactic. Yes, yes. But now I'm at this point and I think I'm so happy that this movie is out

because I feel like I can use it to like really just create my own path and I don't want to be doing that shit no more. No. It's not giving Tra Day a bitch.

It's giving cunt. Yeah, I understand. It's giving fish down. It's giving fish down. I feel like Keegan is like something I don't know. Like I love that this movie

is, and I keep saying this, is like represents like a complete know like I love that this movie is and I keep saying this is like represents like a complete queer person in a way and Keegan is like this complete queer person where like they never have to explain themselves they just show instead of they tell like both Luke and Keegan

are people who it's immediately clear what their relationship is it's immediately clear like how these people are the same and different and then but i think that's really nice that you say that you can point to the movie and go this is like closer to who i am yeah is that is that 100 i think it's like the the gift of it all that i could be like and i think i'm so happy that i was able to like be myself in keegan uh you know oh. I know. So when you got the script, obviously it's not...

And this is going to be one of those things where it's like, people forget that that had to be brought to it. You know what I mean? It's not on the page. The role was something else before you came there. I really want to know what the role was supposed to be. Well, you tell us,

because you got the audition side. So you see it on the page, and then what is Keegan giving on the page I literally saw it and I was like bitch I say this yeah

I literally was like oh I'm literally just gonna be me yeah I feel like that's like the easiest thing to do instead of like having to like

create a character I was like bitch I'm just gonna be like myself right and I think that's why it was so easy to just like show up yeah you know and not to right and I think that's why it was so easy to just like

show up yeah you know and not to tie it back but that's New York that's like she's herself exactly I would let Gemma know

that she is a fat cunt and the shoes that she brought she gave for me were not something that I would particularly wear for myself they were old maiden type of shoes.

And she should have put them back on the rack. If that was the case. She does not possess the vernacular that she thinks she possesses. Somebody lied to her several times. And told her that she was fly and hot and beautiful and sexy. And she is nothing like that. She is nothing of the sort. And she is nothing like that.

She is nothing of the sort. Iconic. It is truly. Poetry. You couldn't write it. But if you did write it, you would win many awards. You'd win many awards off the top the off the top off the top off the top you're a dreamer you dream you're sleeping your sleep no I don't yes y'all

wait New York was you do every way when I went into my high school this is the ninth grade and there were two different people were like, have you been, do you know New York? This girl on Flavor of Love, Tiffany, you guys have to like, and this was all of us like in high school being like, who is New York? Who is New York?

It was like when Britney Spears got famous when we were in like third grade. It was like, yeah, one day there was New York. It was like a Star is Born vibes. It was. Tell me something, girl. Tell me something, girl. Tell me something, girl. Tell me something, girl. Is you happy in this modern world?

Damn, there's that silky basement. You know, it's been a long weekend. I'm a little hoarse, bitch. One of the funniest things about life is that you're on that low harmony and sometimes I'm on the high harmony. I know. I feel like that tracks. I feel like that tracks for sure. What are you singing? I don't know.

What are you trying to say, boo? You know the bottom bunk and the top bunk. It's giving bottom nowadays. It's giving bottom. Really? It's giving top over there. It's always been giving top. I think so.

I'm trying to step into my versatility. Right. That's good. It's hard, though. It is. No shade. When I was your age, I was I think so. I'm trying to like, you know, step into my versatility. Right. That's good. It's hard though. It is. No shade. When I was your age, I was terrified of it. Like bottoming.

Yeah. Yeah. You were not. I've always been sort of like, oh, I mean, whatever. Yeah. Whatever. But I think, okay, now, can we get real? Now the thing that I'm hearing is that enemas are back.

What do you mean? For the longest time, I thought enemas were not okay because they tenderized you too much. Well, I think abuse of an enema, doing it too much, and moderation is good. If you keep punching a beanbag, bitch, it's going to turn to flat. Well, I better order the fleek. Bitch, it's going to turn to flat.

It's going to turn to flat. You punched the beanbag. I thought you were going to start talking about the sideek. Bitch is gonna turn to flat. It's gonna turn to flat. You punched the beanbag. I thought you were gonna start talking about the side preference. Oh. This is a new phenomenon. Have you heard about this, Fish? Oh, is it like a switch?

It's not a switch. So it's not like BDSM or anything. Or it's not like DOM, sub, anything. It's side where it's like you just basically don't want to do penetrative stuff. Uh-huh. Which to me, I'm always like nine times, not nine times out of ten, but like five times out of ten, it's like, you just are basically don't want to do penetrative stuff. Uh-huh. Which like to me,

I'm always like nine times, not nine times out of 10, but like five times out of 10, I'm like, oh, I don't, I, we don't have to do all that.

Honestly, I think I'm into that too. I think I might be, I might be versed for the first time in my life in terms of being a bottom and a side. Yeah. My thing back when I was, Verside. Verside.

In my early 20s, I would side my way all around the city. Wait, what? I said in my early 20s, I would side my way All around the city Wait what What I said in my early 20s I would side my way All around the city Oh sure

But y'all were doing A bit with sounds and stuff Sorry sorry Some things are more important No No We just got caught up in it No thanks

Wait speaking of sounds Okay wait quickly Okay this is the Sometimes trio You two Andrew and Joel are like We didn't know They were gonna do choreo

That Matt and Joel Okay can we say something That's not really Joel are like, we didn't know they were going to do choreo. Okay, can we say something? That's not really true. They knew. Joel maybe didn't know. Andrew asked us to choreograph. But I think you guys marked it in that early pass

and then I think you guys showed up to set with and then maybe added on as you went. Is that true? Joel didn't know it was about to be as elaborate as it was.

Yeah, we were giving choreography down. Yeah, and we had our harmonies together. I mean, it was giving full production. It really was. Yeah, we were giving choreography down, bitch. Yeah, and we had our harmonies together. I mean, it was giving full production. It really was. That was really fun.

Pavilion, bitch. That fake pavilion that they made up. Everyone has gagged that that was a set. That and the Ice Palace. And when you watch the movie for real,

like, when it goes from the Ice Palace inside to the Ice Palace outside, it's seamless. You cannot tell me that's not it. Bitch, we shot that on Fire Island. Yeah. Isn't it crazy that that was the last day? ice palace outside it's seamless you cannot tell me that's not it bitch we shot that on fire island

yeah isn't it crazy that that was the last day that we wrapped on the exterior the exterior stuff at the ice palace oh my god

like god like the order is so strange to me and yet I don't pick up on it at all yeah that's direction bitch that's Andrew

period period you can't tell us dang bitch what was something Andrew Ahn said to you and directed you in a way that you feel you will never forget? It was the scene where Joel comes back to the house

where the after party is. It's right after I pick you up off the floor and we go, you're gonna get it. And then we've lost Luke. We've lost Luke and I remember him coming up to me and being like, just imagine that you've lost Luke we've lost Luke and I remember him coming up to me and being like

just imagine that like you've lost your sister or like you've lost your best friend at the party and I was like work it was I think it was like Andrew does this really beautiful thing of like like easily putting you into the pocket and it was exactly what I needed to be like this is now coming

from a heightened Molly role. And now like, I'm really seriously looking for my sister because the bitch might be falling out. I think that was like the time where I was like, oh, thank you. It really works. You were giving gravitas. Because in that scene,

there's an inflection in your voice where you're like, well, we have to get him home. Like, why is this even a conversation? Like, of course, like, yeahke luke is a messy flop and like it might not surprise you but like i'm concerned yeah you know you have to care for this person 100 bitch because you're my sister and you're my fish fish grab my hand, fish. Hold my hand. Promise that you'll be my fish. I swore to the heavens this fish about to swim. Hey, girl.

What's a note that Andrew gave you? Andrew, hmm. There was, you know what I really appreciated about Andrew with me is that he always let me have fun. Yeah. Like, Andrew with me, he always let me get my improvs in. Like he, I think appreciated the fact that I was like, you know, looking at the script and like,

you know, trying to, I think he likes my sense of humor, even though he doesn't always feel super comfortable going back at it with me in terms of bits. I think I can like overpower him sometimes in a way that's like, I feel is funny. What?

How was the acting? Yeah. How was the acting? And he always acting and he always acting good i think he he got a sense from me anyway that i operate best from a place of joy and not stress and like he was always really really complimentary and sweet and actually in the first few weeks i think i was telling you i was like he's not giving me a lot of notes in the beginning i was like i don't know why i'm not getting more notes but i think that he was just letting me play in a way where with luke it's like it was fun to color him in because you know because in the script we are just kind of like together the whole time that it can sort

of blend in that i feel like that when we got did get together and started to find our own characters like he was really cool about letting us fill all that in with our personalities because it's giving. I think the reason that Luke and Keegan are such good friends is because you just meet someone that energetically is on the same level. They're ready to give chaos or relax in relaxation or whatever. At the same time, it feels like they energetically are always like on the same level, whereas like they are different people. Yeah. So I just think like the space he gave me and then

during my tough scenes like he was very soft spoken and never never like he did let me get extra takes yeah

I told him I was like can we please just not move on until I know that until I know that that was my last take

like don't be like we got it and move on like I kind of can't stand that. What about for you? Because you had the heavy lifting. For me, it was on the ferry when I'm

emotional. When I leave the island, I kept... He sent me songs the week leading up to it. We love a playlist. He's so good at like sending you something

I don't know what were some songs that he sent you he sent me oh god that artist that he mentioned last week oh

D.F. Frampton D.F. Frampton D.F. Frampton oh my god it was such a good song and then but then what he said to me are you ready for this

wait he said to me I did a couple takes where I was just kind of like m, moping, and I was, like, truly sobbing. And, like, I think he wanted, like, me to dial it back a little bit. And so he's, like, he was, like, I want you to look behind you, look back at the island, and mourn the person that, like, went there and now you're a completely different person and the person who went before you like the person who went to the island the other way like earlier in the week is gone is dead that hope that that person had that maybe this time was going to be different yes like that that person is out is is gone from you you cannot identify with that person anymore you don't know

who you are after this and i was was like, okay. And that truly... That'll do it. That is so good, bitch. I know, I know. I was like, damn it. Andrew is so fucking good at that. And it was only like two takes. And I think,

because I think he knew like, you can only do so many if you're like, the person's crying. Yeah. Crying. If you crying, bitch. C-R-Y-N-E, if you crying.

You know what's funny though? Like what, something I've been realizing about like that, that type of stuff is like, cause I did way bigger emotional takes on that shit too. And like, sometimes it's like,

it's like too much when an actor is too emotional. And Jennifer Lewis on set of, I love that for you. Cause she gave me advice one time we were about to block a scene where, and she was like, now me as Jennifer, I feel like I'm getting, I'm going to get emotional during this but i want you to know if if i start crying we have to start over because my character would not cry and then she turned to me and she

said she said in scenes like this you don't cry they cry every year she was like she was like it's more powerful and more affecting for the audience to know you are struggling with containing an emotion than showing an emotion. And I was like, you know, not only is that really smart, but also it's easier for your energy. You know what I mean? Because you could be giving so much and then you find out that something was fucked up with the camera or you got to keep going. It's like so much more. You have to manage so much more than you think. That's so smart.

It's very theater. Very theater. Very theater. Well, speaking of, when we saw you in Hadestown, that looked incredibly physically demanding. Yes. And doing swing. So you come from being a swing.

What is that vibe? No, that was the first time I've ever swung in haiti oh really first time ever um and honestly the fact that it was we're still in covita lands bitch it was crazy like i had to i'm i wasn't supposed to be a cover for a fate that literally got like handed to me the day before wow which is giving pussy cunt i mean i gave pussy cunt yeah it looked like you gave pussy cunt down it looked like you gave pussy cunt down and it was just

it was a whirlwind and I'm really happy I did it because I know that I can do it right and I will never do it again yeah

because you don't have to prove it to anyone or yourself or exactly whatever and the rate is a little bit higher now ah

deserve it bitch okay the glulop that everyone the gl glow up that everyone In the cast is gonna get I mean already several people Have already booked shit Yeah not me

Get the fuck out of here I'm not gonna book ever again Ever again We're gonna make sure of it Wait We need to talk about Wendy Because Tomas and I kind of We talked about this yesterday didn't we She's an icon Wait We need to talk about Wendy Because Tomas and I

Kind of We talked about this yesterday Didn't we? She's an icon She's a legend I did not know That was gonna be the ringtone At the top of the movie

Wait That's you, Beau That's me But people think it's you, Matt People think it's me Saying she's an icon Because they couldn't Because they're like

We might not be able to use Actual Wendy's voice Wait So that's your voice? That's my voice What? Yeah, yeah yeah yeah i thought that was wendy down yeah go back and listen that's that's some bowen yang and that is an actress and you know what and so and it kind of makes sense with the story like noah would get like howie to record like to record like his ringtone but there was a second bowen where it's funny that you say people think it's

me because when i first heard you thought it was was Tomas? No, I thought, did I do that? Because it sounded like my voice a little bit. And then I was like, I don't think I gave them that ADR. Because it also comes out of the fanfare that the three of us did for the searchlight thing where I was like did we continue to talk and they're using it?

Like they caught you doing, she's not caught, she's a legend wild. But that makes sense that it's you because we often speak in that inflection. like they caught you doing she's not a country's legend wild but that makes sense that it's you wild bitch because we often speak in that inflection right and so it makes sense but I thought it was

I thought that that was Wendy Williams yeah yeah but Tomas and I were talking about yesterday on the island we were like we hope she's okay

honestly we always I've always looked out like wanted the best for her I'm also like just so sad that she's not on the air anymore I know it's like what kind of I not on the air anymore. I know.

It's like, what kind of, I need, I need the content, Wendy. I know. I need your soundbites, girl. I don't think it's an end. I don't know.

It might be giving end. Why? What makes you say? It doesn't seem like she's doing well. Well, I mean, I know that she's in a conservatorship right now. Oh.

And all of her money is like frozen. Right, I did know that. And I do think she's like, you know, it's giving unstable down. Damn, damn. Oh gosh.

I know. If you're listening, pray for Wendy Williams. Pray for Wendy. Well, she's our nominations leader at the Lost Culture, Aces Culture Awards, unfortunately. She's an icon. She's an icon. She's a legend.

The editor. they kept that in for a reason. They could have cut that out, but they kept that in because I think that might develop into an actual storyline on the show. Who? Giving editing.

Giving editing. So, Raja. The editors. Give that for the editors. So, Raja's feeling like you're number one. I think Raja, yes, and I think the way that

Monet is playing the game is really good. I think the way that Shay is playing the game is okay. I mean, I think Jinx is like the top contender, but if I were on that motherfucking episode, I would be blocking Jinx

with that platinum plunger. Which is obviously gold. Every time. Yeah. Every time. Every time. I mean, I think she's winning people's hearts maybe the most. I would say. She's so funny. I mean, also this improv challenge was, it was, I mean, whenever a drag race funny. I mean, also, this improv challenge was,

it was, I mean, it was, whenever a drag race, whenever a drag race does an improv challenge, I'm always like, okay, here we go. But it was funny. I mean, Jinx was giving character.

Yeah. No, when that ear fell, like, one. Oh, my God. Wait, I have a question. Yeah, go on. So do you think that the editing of the show,

because it's an all-winner season, is, like, particularly making it so that there's no... Negative critiques? Yeah. Here's why I don't think they're gonna negatively critique anybody, like, hard. I mean, they might, but I think it's, like, a way to be, like, if you say, like, Evie, that

look was not Vanna White at all, that sucks, then it's gonna make it seem like season 11 was a bad season. Which is bad marketing. It's gonna, like, really, like, cast this weird shadow on certain seasons. That was a bad season. Which is bad marketing. It's going to really cast this weird shadow on certain seasons. That was a bad season because this winner is not good. I also would imagine that you're only getting them to even sign up if a few things are being met,

which is pay me money as a full-on appearance thing, don't eliminate me because that's humiliating, and also make sure that I look good. I'm a winner of the show. That has to come with some degree of respect and some dignity there. You can't tarnish names. Exactly.

You can't be showing me the door after 50 minutes of airtime, especially when you're a winner and we now know how much money they all spend and how in the red they go to prepare for a season. You know, it's what's crazy is knowing someone like Coco Montrese like paid all-star money for her looks and only got one episode.

I know. You know, that is disrespectful to the girls that like are building your legacy. I honestly think this is how they should do all all-star seasons going forward, even if they're not winners. Yes. Just keep them around. It's a good format. It's a good format. It's a great format.

This fall on Bravo. It's time to turn up. Think you've seen it all? I don't think you've been a good friend to me lately. We're friends like that. Who needs enemies? You ain't seen nothing yet. Cheers to being Germanic.

With the Real Housewives of Potomac. Oh my gosh, can I take this in? It's going to be amazing. New York City. Everyone is a gossip. No one gets a happier life. Salt Lake City. We don't wear pastels, we wear fashion.

And below deck sailing. You broke the rules and now you're here getting upset. Watch all new seasons on Bravo or stream it on City TV+. Let's have a real good time. I felt too seen. Dragged. I'm N.K., and this is Basket Case. So I basically had what back in the day they would call a nervous breakdown. I was crying and I was inconsolable.

It was just very big, sudden swaps of different meds. What is wrong with me? Oh, look at you giving me therapy, girl. Finally, a show for the mentally ill girlies. On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health is shaped by the conditions of the world we live in. Because if you haven't noticed, we are experiencing some kind of conditions that are pretty hard to live with. But if you struggle to cope, the society that created the conditions in the first place will tell you there's something wrong with you. And it will call you a basket case.

Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey everybody, it's Matt Rogers.

Listen to Haunting, starting on October 22nd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel that we are also coming upon the time of I Don't Think So, Honey. I think this is the time. So this is the segment of our podcast, Tomas,

where we get extra fishy and fresh because we, for one minute, rant against something on pop culture that we absolutely have zero time for and are absolutely done with and needs to be raked over the damn proverbial coals.

Okay. Okay? Okay. Yeah. I'm ready. Matt, you got something? Yeah. This is Matt Rogers.

I don't think Sony's time starts now. I don't think so, honey. The Nicole Kidman part of The Hours. Oh my God. Because let me tell you something. A nose does not a performance make.

Wow. And she delivered in that last scene at the train station, if it's between Richmond and death, I choose death. definitely that was a monologue the house down but was this an oscar win i don't think so honey i also don't think she's the lead actress of this movie yes this is me spending my energy in the year of our lord 2022 to talk about something that happened 20 years ago but that's what happened when i did ketamine last night and watched the hours with friends is that it's top of mind today so basically i don't think so honey that we're

gonna sit there and have meryl Streep having an expert panic attack in her plot line and then say, hmm, I'm interested in Nicole. I don't think so, honey. I'm interested in Meryl at all times, always. Watching Ed Harris jump up at a damn window. Spoiler alert. Well, guess what? That was an incredible when Meryl screams, oh god! And she watched Ed Harris

plummet. That was how you act, mama. And I feel like Nicole Kidman was giving no. She was giving hat. She was giving British, but it was not giving giving oscar also i think she's in the movie for a hot 15 to 16 minutes she definitely kissed her biological sister hard on the mouth oscar win i don't think so honey and that's one minute wow amazing iconic yeah shout out to ryan o'connell who doesn't like talking about nicole kim or the wins. Well, there you go. I don't know if you responded to that guest from last week or a couple weeks ago. But yeah, when you were watching this movie last night, did you think that it gave?

I think that it gave. I think Meryl is giving you the most, like, Meryl does so much per scene. Like, she goes through, like, a panic then with Jeff Daniels and then she has to like bring it back or then like her daughter comes in and she has to like confess all these truths

to her. Like Meryl is doing the most juggling. Nicole gets to just sit there and like stare into the distance. It's a lot of staring. It's a lot of staring

and then Julianne has to like also stare but then has to like scream at her child. Yeah. I just feel like it was giving

they wanted to give nicole the oscar period yeah but you know that happens sometimes anyway i'm really happy that this was so top of mind for me now 20 years later when it really matters oh by the way i saw top gun maverick just to just to sort of talk about some pop culture for a second this movie was fine the thing i like about top gun was that it was so gay yeah all those men were oiled up playing beach volleyball you ever seen the original top gun no bitch it's like tom cruise and like old og oh my god yeah like all oiled up on playing beach volleyball and it's so gay and hot and they're like walking around the the the um locker room being all oiled up and like being mad at each other because they want to be the best pilot. This movie, there wasn't even any gay shit. It was like they cast all these hot guys like Jay Ellis,

like Glenn Powell, like Miles Teller, and I can't even see them like, I can't even see like a towel come a little bit over the like bone right here, the V. You know what I mean? I can't even see any man. Like you're giving me what? Tom Cruise at his big age talking to Jennifer Connelly

as she pops off a sailboat and her hair looks perfect after she got off a sailboat? Let me tell you something about getting off a sailboat. Your hair doesn't look perfect. I don't think so, honey. But the best part about Top Gun Maverick was the song Hold My Hand by Lady Gaga, which Bowen Yang calls a C-plus song. I didn't say that.

He's a fake fan. I did not say that. A 77? A 77. It's so funny to see you lie. These little lies that we tell. Drag her. Drag her.

I'm a little monster down. I would never. You think she's going to play Hold My Hand at Chromatic of All We Go? Yes, she will. Are you going to Chromatic of All Fish? I want to. It's in August. I invited you.

I want to come. I invited Tomas to come to Chromatic of All Fish. I'll call my child. Please. Is there a ticket for them? I want to. It's in August. I invited you. I want to come. I invited Tomas to come to Manicaballfish. I'll call my child. Please. Is there a ticket for them? Yes. Work. Hold my hand.

Promise you will be my fish. I heard from the fishes. Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop. All right, girl. So now it's going to be that moment in the podcast episode, Bowen Yang, where you do your

I don't think so, honey. Are you ready, bitch? Yeah. Yeah. This doesn't bode well. I don't think so, honey. Are you ready, bitch? Yeah. Yeah. This doesn't bode well. No, I think I'm ready. I think I'm ready. All righty.

This is Bowen Yang's I don't think so, honey, and his time starts now. I don't think so, honey, on Fire Island when you don't shut the damn door behind you when you go into a space. Are you trying to let all the damn bugs in? Bloop. This is basically a greenhouse, and you're gonna have a little butterfly pavilion underneath my living room. The wrong kind of pavilion. The wrong kind of

pavilion, darling. Not the pavilion where you go for Showtune Sundays, or you do the Glam Racks. What was that? I think it's called the Glam Racks. Glam Racks. 30 seconds. I'm butchering the name.
