I mean, guys, Matt introduced, introduced i think a genius element into this uh which was the the troll bowl and i have to give credit where it's due please that was anna dresden's brainchild anna dresden's brainchild yes matt was very deliberate in the items that made it to the bowl because they were all controversial sort of universally loved things right and it will be henceforth known as the
Starting point is 00:04:25 troll bowl because you're trolling because once you get pull out one of these and you know what we'll talk about that in a second because we have somebody in the studio today who was at the show and killed the show and created an iconic culture moment i believe oh geez you know what let's list the credits the credits honey she is uh one she is one of the members of the amazing sketch group Astronomy Club at UCB. They have a monthly show there called Let's Talk About Race Baby. Yes. Look out for her upcoming series on IFC Comedy Club called Sport Court, you guys. This is coming at you.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I just can't wait to find out what that's going to be. Sport Court. Like, is it named that because the two words rhymed? Or is it truly a sport court? You know what? Probably both. Probably both. I love a show that's built around a rhyme.
Starting point is 00:05:11 You gotta. You gotta. And she is in the Amazing Herald team. Some kid. Truly iconic team right there. Iconique. Some great personalities. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Guys, please welcome our guest, Monique Moses. Oh, hello, hello, hello. Wow. This is a true moment right now jeez louise we're a bunch of friends here we're a bunch of friends we go way back we've been in the trenches yes we've we've done many a 7 a.m wake up call yeah we all you guys we all met from doing story pirates oh which is and that's all we're gonna say because two very separate entities here yes i might swear a lot and there I will never swear and you know what
Starting point is 00:05:48 for the rest for the next hour and 15 20 minutes no kids everyone kids go to sleep go to bed kids we're gonna get a little salty play some toka salon you know what I'm saying I felt like a kid today you guys I played
Starting point is 00:06:03 video games and tonight I'm gonna to go see the power Rangers. Yes. Good for you. I've heard mixed reviews. Really? Have you? Yeah. I've heard from people who are awake and alive that it's terrible.
Starting point is 00:06:14 And then I've heard from other people who just love the power Rangers and it's a great movie. Honestly, I just, I want to walk in there and I want to be as surprised as I was when we saw Mad Max. Oh my God. I wanted to like blow me away and it won't but but i'm going in with that kind of positivity i mean wow yeah what did it what a special experience for you to experience mad max without any context no any prior knowledge yeah well i have to say this i'm very excited about
Starting point is 00:06:39 becky g yeah and singer who's making her acting debut that's not true she was an empire for a bit she was yeah i remember this she's now a power ranger so that's yeah she's playing um kimmy kwan is that the name she's the asian one she's playing the asian one she's playing the asian one but she's i mean i think the character is still i is still ethnically ambiguous ambiguous it's it's it's you know what i don't hate the choice Is she the yellow ranger She's the yellow ranger and they kept The canonical name
Starting point is 00:07:10 I guess It's fun whatever I'm excited for Power Rangers 2 honey The bar is low because a lot of the reviews are saying You know what it doesn't suck so that makes it good Okay Who's the villain again Rita Repulsa Elizabeth Banks? Rita Repulsa.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Fucking Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa. That's it, that's it, yeah. Which makes me laugh. Yeah. And I heard a theory today. Wow. That the reason, and I don't know if this is true, so it's genuinely not a spoiler.
Starting point is 00:07:38 If it ends up being true, I guess it is a spoiler, so spoiler alert, I guess. But somebody threw a theory today that rita repulsa is all green because she was the original green ranger like and that's like something they reveal in the movie is that she's actually rita repulsa is actually like a jaded like kind of darth vader esque old i'm power ranger who turned on them yeah you know what and this is so fucking such such a stupid dredge but i think that reminds me of carmen san diego when it's revealed that carmen used to be an acne agent anyway wow
Starting point is 00:08:11 yeah i just saw you do an impression of carmen san diego i have a thing i love doing like black carmen san diego yes she's a little hood it's like nobody you don't want to find her because you don't want to find this bitch she'll you don't want to find this bitch. She'll fuck you back up. You did that character on Brian Foss' show. Ding dong. He's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:08:35 it's Carmen Sandiego and Monique goes, black Carmen Sandiego. I mean, we have to differentiate. You must. Guys, let's clink our glasses. We're drinking some. Thank you our producer Joe for providing us this cab. 2014 Cabernet
Starting point is 00:08:50 Mapuche. Mapuche is wet for this. Wow. Okay. I'm getting a little, I'm getting a few notes of lemon. I'm getting a dried berry. I'm getting a dried berry and some lemon. I don't know what that means. There's cork in mine.
Starting point is 00:09:10 I'm just kidding. There's no cork. It's twist excuse me there's cork in my wine can i get a new one that's happened to me so many times at work and one time i literally told the woman she's like there's a little cork in this and i was i literally said back does it matter oh no and she was like um yeah and i was like okay did you okay But I should have gotten fired right then and there probably Oh my god did you get like slapped in the face Earlier that day No I just was like I was kind of funny about it I was just like I mean does it matter
Starting point is 00:09:36 And she was like I mean it could have been a joke She was like it does I was like okay cool But in my heart I was like does it fucking matter bitch Yeah. But in my heart, I was like, does it fucking matter, bitch? You're like, there's now a hork in your wine. Yeah. Right there.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Here's the question. I've been doing it for 10 years. We almost answer this. Would you, would you bring it up to the waiter or waitress or server? If, if something, if, if there was quark. See, I don't know how you guys behave in a restaurant, but for me, I'm very like, if I can deal with it, I don't say anything. But that's me sometimes.
Starting point is 00:10:10 And then other times I'm like, you know what? I fucking do this for people all the time because it's my job. So I'm going to ask for more blue cheese. Yeah. You know what I mean? And you are there to get the experience of dining. So it can go either way with me. Sometimes I'm like, leave them alone.
Starting point is 00:10:24 You wouldn't want to do it, so don't make them do it like today we went to brunch and i was very apologetic for asking to make me a bloody mary yeah i was like i'm sorry i just really want one yeah no you know i would i would ask yeah but the thing is i would try to put in a way and i bet a lot of servers hate this but be like oh i've been doing this i work xyz i work over here i do this all the time um would you mind if so it's like server to server trying to get us on the same equal playing field yeah it's a fun little what about you you know what do you send things back do you work in the service industry i don't i wouldn't know i wouldn't send i've never sent something back but for wine if it was above like if it was above like, if it was above like, I don't know, 50 bucks for
Starting point is 00:11:06 a bottle, I would be like, oh, wow. See, that's that's another thing is I just I just wouldn't pay that much. Oh, see, that's the thing is I would always feel like it's a fucking twenty dollar bottle of wine anyway. So what the fuck am I complaining about? But if it's a sixty dollar bottle of wine and yeah, I want to enjoy it. Right. OK, there we go.
Starting point is 00:11:23 So there are some parameters and conditions here great it's very conditional so it's very conditional you know being a restaurant it's very conditional culture is conditional that's not bad that's not bad so Monique here we go and it's fitting
Starting point is 00:11:39 that we've been talking about like the youth culture that is Power Rangers because now it's time to pose the question that we pose to all of our guests yes here is Power Rangers because now it's time to pose the question that we pose to all of our guests. Yes. Here we go. Right, Bo? Kick it off.
Starting point is 00:11:48 So it's time to ask Monique Moses. What is the culture that really you saw and you absorbed when you were younger that made you say, culture's for me. I would like to be a part of culture.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Like what caused Monique to step in a cultural direction? I lived in a suburb outside of a small town, small city. And there was no like cool dance classes. So culture for me that made me want to be a part of like the world was Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson music videos. Yeah. And I learned how to dance through them because there was no Like I'm from I'll tell you I'm from London, Ontario, Canada
Starting point is 00:12:27 But the suburb outside of that Yeah And like behind the fence of where I grew up Was just rural Like farms and Nazis Yeah So it's like Right next
Starting point is 00:12:38 It's like hill people It's hill people And then suburb And then like Huxtable suburb And then Huxtable suburb The city So nowhere to take great dance classes And then like Huxtable Suburb and then the city.
Starting point is 00:12:47 So nowhere to take great dance classes. So I wanted to become part of culture. I loved it. Watching MTV. Yeah. And much music. And so much music. Thank you, Canada.
Starting point is 00:13:01 So were you like watching MTV from a very early age? Well, I meant to say much music you know but much but i mean you you americanized it so much music is like the equivalent in canada oh okay and yeah so were you watching that at an early age yes oh yeah hell yeah oh wow my parents were like no you can't watch that instead watch this more adult contemporary one so i watched vh1 really which is way different than it is now which is now like a reality a lot of reality TV and like people throwing drinks in each other's faces. Back then it was like, every other video was like Jewel
Starting point is 00:13:29 and Sheryl Crow and it was like the Lilith Fair kind of. Didn't they have the bubble, the bubble show, VH1? Pop-up video was on VH1. Yeah, I think that's true. Yep, it was, it was. And that was,
Starting point is 00:13:41 they all did it to like, you know, adult contemporary like music. So it was like Annie Lennox, I knew who she was when i was like six amazing but yeah the the the um michael jackson and janet jackson thing i remember first fully seeing it and was like blown away like the thriller music video was like oh this is like the next level yeah totally um curious geography question what was the sub suburb called outside of London? It's called Kilworth. Got it. Uh, first, first place I met my family moved to in Canada was Kingston, which was also
Starting point is 00:14:11 Ontario, right? I know where Kingston is. Yeah. So it's my first home that I vaguely remember. And then we moved to Quebec. Guys, I'm going to start a podcast myself because I think people's upbringings are so interesting. I mean, this is what we asked.
Starting point is 00:14:25 So thank you for this idea. No, I mean like this isbringings are so interesting. Oh, yeah. I mean, this is what we asked. So, thank you for this idea. No, I mean, like, this is, yeah, take it, guys. Take it. This idea, it's gonna call. No, that's actually one of my... Las Culturistas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:33 The Las Culturistas adjacent podcast. Where are you from? Where are you from, girl? But, no, that's always so interesting is we ask the question and then some people do, they describe their upbringings and some people just like have one very specific like movie or musical artist. So you did a fusion there.
Starting point is 00:14:51 And you were Miss Janet Jackson and Mr. Michael Jackson in the suburbs. Yeah. And yeah, because you were a dancer. But no, I wasn't at that point. I mean, I wanted there was something in me that wanted to dance and perform but i didn't know how so i would just like watch music videos and learn the dances yeah um yeah and then from there on i was a dancer but then i stopped about five years ago see i'm gonna focus on canada for a bit okay did you grow up with ytv hell yeah Oh my god Oh my god YTV was like the Nickelodeon
Starting point is 00:15:25 Of Canada Canada How long were you in Canada? I was moving How long did you live? I moved 99 Okay Wow
Starting point is 00:15:34 You were there a long time I was there a long time I moved to Colorado Four months after Columbine Oh wow I think I've mentioned this On the show before Moved to Colorado Four months Like right after Columbine And Jamboné Ramsey Which took place in Boulder Oh my gosh happened oh wow i've i've i think i've mentioned this on the show before moved to move to colorado

Holy moly what's going on in Colorado? It's the shooting capital of America baby. Damn that sucks. No no no yeah sorry I didn't mean to bring it. But that's all shit that happened there.
Starting point is 00:16:14 And yeah it sucks that that's like the legacy. But anyway no YTV like we would, I didn't grow up with cable in Canada or the US so that like parlayed itself there. Cultural blind spot. Cultural blind spot,
Starting point is 00:16:26 honey. So YTV was like this precious time to like watch cable, like programming that was meant for kids that was like mindless and stupid. And like they had goo, like they had like the Nickelodeon style, like yeah. Yeah. Goopy stuff,
Starting point is 00:16:41 right? You can't do that on television. That was a show that like, what's your face? Alanis Morissette was on when she was like a kid. And it's a legacy show. It's kind of the way that, you know, all that was a legacy show for Nickelodeon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:53 And what about Zoom? Zoom, we got that. Yeah. See, we didn't have it. We had Mickey Mouse Club. Oh. Yeah. So I think that was like your Mickey Mouse Club was Zoom.
Starting point is 00:17:04 And you guys, wasn't Fergie on that? Fergie was on the electric, whatever train show. I almost said electric zoo. Electric zoo. And like really confidently ended it. That show, Electric Zoo. That show. I actually don't know what it's called.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Governor's Ball. I don't know. Yeah. Governor's Ball. Governor's Ball. No, no, no. Do you remember that game show called Uh-Oh? Yeah. It was like. Governor's ball. No, no, no. Do you remember that game show called Uh-Oh? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:26 It was like they slimed you basically. It was like, it was like kind of cribbed from Nickelodeon. It's all the same. It's all the same. But oh my God, YTV was where they aired Pokemon and Uh-Oh was where they put Pokemon on and Sailor Moon. And then like, it was, I would only get to watch it at other people's house, other kids' houses or at school.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Did you guys ever watch a show called Maniac Mansion? No. What's that? No, I don't know that. That was a show with, um, um oh man what is his name he was on sctv back in the day like in the 70s and then maniac mansion was a kid's show and he played the dad on it what is his name people are gonna kill me oh my god it's like canadian rite of passage i need to know this guy no but same In that vein? Same vein. Not Christopher Guest. No.
Starting point is 00:18:06 I should look it up, but I'm not going to. Dana Carvey? No. No. Same, but same vein. It was Rick Moranis. Rick Moranis. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:18:13 I was a huge Rick Moranis fan. I mean, weren't we all? Can I look it up? No. Look it up. I'm not going to. Look it up. Because I'm on airplane mode.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Oh, yeah. It doesn't matter. Here's the thing. It doesn't matter what it was. It was a fun show. It took place in a weird house called the Maniac Mansion. And it was like all kinds of shit was going down. And it was on YTV.
Starting point is 00:18:32 And that's all I wanted to say. Come on, bring it back. Did you guys watch? But did you at least watch TGIF? Oh, yeah. OK, here's the thing. Let me tell you about a Canadian TV. 30% of it is Canadian.
Starting point is 00:18:42 70% of it is American. So I think I did have cable, so I did watch MTV a bit. But like, yeah, I had like TBS and all that shit. You had mostly everything. I had mostly everything. But you know what you guys had that I wanted was Canadian Idol. I was like,
Starting point is 00:18:57 American Idol isn't enough for me. I need a Canadian Idol too. What was compelling about it? I feel like, did it produce stars? Oh, Carly Rae Jepsen. Well? Carly Rae Jepsen was on it but I don't think she came in for it. She didn't do very well but she became a star. It was almost like a
Starting point is 00:19:14 training ground to be a pop star for America. That's kind of interesting. I actually don't remember anyone that won the show but I do remember listening to a lot of the performances and being like yeah. It's a supplement to American performances and being like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sure.
Starting point is 00:19:26 That's so funny. It's a supplement to American. Yeah. I mean, I would have absorbed it. I was the kid that was watching American Idol and making rankings in a notebook that I had. Jeez. Week to week.
Starting point is 00:19:35 I was essentially blogging for myself at the time. Wow. It was like, I would be like, this week, Ryan Starr didn't have as strong a performance as she did last week, so she's going to move down to the eighth spot. And Kelly Clarkson ever climbing to the five spot. They made the show for you, Matt.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I think that they really did. It was for little gay 12-year-olds. Oh, my God, that's so funny. The closest I ever got to that kind of fanaticism was my sister and I put together a playlist on windows media player of all of clay aiken's performances okay yeah listen to them and we were like this is wow clay aiken singing build me a buttercup is the best thing that's ever happened in music yeah he was always like he did oh my god and he did um it was the first time i
Starting point is 00:20:23 ever heard uh don't let the sun Go down on me Go down on me Yeah And he I mean he nailed it I loved it American Idol like
Starting point is 00:20:29 I don't know anything about it It truly But like for For a little Baby gay That like loved music Like it introduced me To so much music
Starting point is 00:20:38 Like I knew what Motown was Because of American Idol Wow Like that's And that's You know something They had a Gladys Knight themed night on season two and I was like, who's Gladys Knight?
Starting point is 00:20:47 Gladys Knight, that's what I'm saying. And like, that's kind of cool that like 13 year olds that were obsessed with the show now have a vocabulary or some vocabulary for like Gladys Knight music. Yeah, it is kind of cool. That's pretty awesome. And I remember I went into my,
Starting point is 00:20:59 my like ninth grade art teacher. She was a super cool lady, Ms. Knobloch. And she came in one day and she was like, all right, just so you all know, every day we listen to good music. We don't listen to crap. And here's what I'm going to play. Every day for the next two weeks, we're going to change. And she was like, and we're going to listen while we draw. Now this is Aretha Franklin's time.
Starting point is 00:21:26 And so we listen to this, all the good aretha franklin stuff that's awesome for like two weeks and so i know like now that shit is my jam like i heard um do right woman do right man come on the other day and i was like oh shit this is the stuff like and like edda james she was obsessed with so like it was at least kind of and that was like i used i could tell her like you know i know this song because of american idol and i felt like i was listening to music like real music that wasn't like the backstreet boys the only thing i knew from american idol is that i did watch from justin to kelly or whatever oh yeah come on i think i did watch the first season but i just don't remember being as invested in it as possibly you were no i
Starting point is 00:22:05 was so all in were you in the u.s at that point no i was in canada i moved here in 2009 wow yeah i was a grown ass woman when i moved here so why the decision to move just because wanted to pursue everything my current fiance had a job opportunity so he was gonna move anyways and at that time we'd already been together for five years so i was like hell yeah i'm moving with you but i didn't want to be an illegal so i went to school uh but then you can't work so it was kind of like a weird situation like a rock and a hard place rock and a hard place um i've been here ever since i'm doing them am i doing the math correctly you've been with your your boo 14 years 12 years 12 years oh my lord what is the secret wait he just got a test yeah first answer that is just like dicks in your mouth like 24 7 he doesn't go to
Starting point is 00:22:57 work he's just digging my man dick dick dick dick dick dick the secret constant dick um no the secret is having a man child that won't ask you who to marry you for like 10 of those years. And then when he does. And then poking at him so that he finally does. So what's this? I asked that question on the ride, the tour bus that I work on. And people are always like, earplugs.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Earplugs. And I'm always like, and I go to school back, wah, wah. Like, you nailed wah, wah. Just. Like, you nailed it, sir. You just gotta make them feel like they're the star. You are hilarious. Yeah. Hilarious tourist.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Wait, fiance just got a new tattoo? Yes. I think I saw it on your Insta. You follow my gram, baby. What is it of? It's of this really great design. I don't know who the guy is, but it's a graphic designer. And it's all these cool hands in different positions.
Starting point is 00:23:52 And they have eyes in them. It's just one of his favorite pieces. Do you have tatters? No, but I'm getting. You are. What? We went to the place. And we researched a long time to find a good place to get his tattoo.
Starting point is 00:24:04 But we ended up just going to the place just in the neighborhood and it ended up being the perfect one the guys who work there are so cool uh i'll give them a plug because they're so dope you know uh all wolves no sheep.com all wolves no sheep.com yeah so yes so my sister and I were in Universal Studios Florida. Yeah. And we broke away from our parents. And I think this is the time we like smoked a blunt outside the Hard Rock Cafe and then went into. And we were like, should we get tattoos? My sister and I almost got matching tattoos at Universal Studios Florida.
Starting point is 00:24:39 And I have to tell you, I wish that we had. That's a real swinging doors scenario. How would your life be different if you did get matching tattoos with your sister at Universal? Why is there a tattoo artist at Universal Studios? Honestly, there's fucking everything there. It was their city walk section. There's this place where you can get tattoos. And I was like, mom and dad will be so pissed if we do this.
Starting point is 00:24:59 But let's get them on a party. It was so, again, conditional. It was like we wanted them. But we were going to get them in a secret place on our body for that trip so our parents wouldn't see. What would it have... And we didn't know what we wanted. Oh, my God.

I encourage delusional dreamers. body image and huge life transformations. accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately
Starting point is 00:31:25 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. I was going to ask you, are you the kind of person, and I just want you to miss this one um i was gonna ask you are you the kind of person and i just want you to settle this i mean this is just personal preference if someone politely asks for the story behind the tattoo will you willing will you like not non-begrudgingly offer it up of course i will okay good and i forgot to add this point you're gonna make fun of me but there are there's gonna be writing on it like the ribbons and it's gonna say unni and nuna which are korean words for a big sister oh that's cute
Starting point is 00:32:11 you guys know how i feel about that shit yeah i love it no see okay see that's great i feel like rule of thumb is don't ask people for their tattoo story right don't ask don't expect it to be told thank you i disagree people get that shit on their body to tell. Yeah, you're right. You know? It's like, you know what? I guess that's right. If you didn't want someone to see it, then it wouldn't be visible.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I've just heard enough stories, or I've just heard enough from people who are like, I don't owe it to you. And I'm like, okay, those people suck. I don't think so, honey, those people. Wow. Why would you not want to tell? It obviously meant so much to you that you wanted to put it on your body. It's not a personal thing.
Starting point is 00:32:48 It's a presentational thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. Quick anecdote. This was back in the age when this was acceptable of me to do. But we, my friends and I, this was when I lived in Stuy Town. This was me, like, and Jack Quaid and Mike and Rob Tantum and, like, all these people. One summer, we just did, like, a photo scavenger hunt around the city. Oh, that's fun. um this is me like jack quaid and mike and rob tantrum and like all these people one summer we
Starting point is 00:33:05 just did like a photo scavenger hunt around the city that's fine and one of the items was i remember those one of the items was goofy stupid tattoo like we did take a photo of it and so we walked around the west village and then we just walked up to this woman with like a sleeve and we were like hi um we're on this photo scavenger hunt we need need like a silly tattoo. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh no, oh no, oh no. That gives me so much anxiety. Oh no, no, no, no, no. How did she act? We just need like a fun tattoo.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Do you have a fun tattoo we can take a picture of? And she just very like glumly was like, I want to have this fucking tattoo of a bowl of alphabet soup. And we were like, that's perfect. And it was just the funniest reaction. She was like, I have this fucking tattoo of a bowl of alphabet soup. And we were like, yep, that's it just the funniest reaction I have this fucking tattoo of a bull's mouth
Starting point is 00:33:45 And we were like yep that's it Wait did I really build up that story No because I thought she was gonna like Not tell you and be mad But she gave you what you needed No no no I'm sorry That's what I thought was gonna happen Was her being like get the fuck away from me
Starting point is 00:34:00 This is sexual harassment I mean yeah I mean sure No but it's not she would she would have been it was fun acting crazy there it was yeah we i might be retelling it poorly but anyway fun like i would so okay a good friend of the show friend to all of us oscar montoya yes is the king of the ironic beautiful meaningless beautiful but stupid tattoos he will admit to this really he'll admit to. Really? He'll admit to it? I think he'll admit to it because like one time
Starting point is 00:34:28 He doesn't have a chicken leg? Okay, he has a chicken leg. He has a chicken leg. And then one time we were hanging out. It's dancing? Yeah, it's dancing. One time we were hanging out and then on his cap I noticed this tattoo of a screaming cat face. I was like, Oscar, did you get any tattoos? And he goes, oh yeah, um,
Starting point is 00:34:43 I walked into this antique store and I saw this fucking, like, collectible card with this screaming cat face that looks so stupid. And then I thought, I want that on my body. So I bought it. I took it to a tattoo parlor. I got it on my cap. So precious. And that's when it clicked for me a bit because I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:35:00 like, it doesn't matter. Like, it can mean, it doesn't matter what you put on your body as long as you just like have that compulsion yeah and you want it and it's like oh cool it matters to you to yeah yeah and i just hope it still matters like i feel like i'm taking i'm not in that cliche position right now where it's like well just remember they're permanent my dad my dad used to tell us a tattoo is a temporary solution to a permanent problem oh my god he's equating it to suicide no i don't think he might have been i don't think he i don't think either that was popular phrase back then for suicide or i don't think he realized that's maybe where he
Starting point is 00:35:39 heard it he also told me one time that the reason white people wear their hats backwards is so they can put their face close up to the glass when they're in prison wow he also told me that and i was like that's exclusive to white people oh i love that that's so funny i mean this is like this is like in the mid 90s when i was like i want to wear my hat backwards. And he was like, I'm going to tell you this. And it's like, that's not true. I feel like those are urban legends that kind of have a little bit of, maybe have a little bit of truth in them somewhere. Potentially.
Starting point is 00:36:14 I mean, where is that coming from? I don't know. Either someone made that up and it was plausible enough to me as a kid where I was like, oh, well, my dad does know everything. I guess that's what's true. That's so funny. Because you really think that because your parents tell you that. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:26 And you're like, how do you know all the answers? And they say, because I know everything. And it's the age where you're like, oh, getting your ear pierced on the left side means you're gay. Right, exactly. And I think my dad, if he heard someone else say that now, he'd be like, what are you fucking insane? It's something that if you would hear now,
Starting point is 00:36:43 he'd be like, of course that's fucking not true. So it's something that if you would hear now, he'd be like, of course, that's fucking not true. So have you heard the other thing about the baggy pants about prisoners? No. You haven't heard that? Oh, so apparently the urban myth is that guys in prison wear their pants really low to sort of like one denote that they're down for whatever. Oh my God. low to sort of like one denote that they're down for whatever oh my god but it also i heard is like
Starting point is 00:37:08 which makes more sense to me is that they don't give you belts in prison yeah so it's like you your pants are like sagging but then when you get out of prison that style kept kept up kept up but then it like blew up and was like universal so now everyone has baggy pants yeah but then it's a it's a tool for your parents to be like don't wear baggy pants because those prisoners yeah it's because they were gay yeah because they were gay honestly yeah and it's funny because like what is the truth like yeah what is it you know and at their the thing about that is like there was like the first person to put their hat backwards and why did they do it there was like the first person to put their hat backwards and why did they do it there was like the first person ever to wear that wear their clothes a certain style you know what
Starting point is 00:37:49 i mean like for example the popped collar like who was the fucking little shit who was the first one to say you know what i'm gonna start a clothing revolution and pop this collar and then it became like the poster look for like privileged white stupid fucks. Yeah. But then like it needs to catch on in a way. Yeah. I remember like years ago, like I was just flipping through like some fucking like men's style magazine and it was so convinced that putting a tie in between the buttons of your
Starting point is 00:38:19 shirt was going to be the new thing. And I was like, no fucking way. Oh, I think that is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. And people do do it, but my God, does it look dumb? Wait, and no jacket to cover that? No, no, no. You're wearing a shirt, you're wearing a tie, but then you slip and tuck
Starting point is 00:38:35 in the tie in between these two buttons on your sternum. And then the bottom of your tie is just not visible. But no jacket. You're just wearing a jacket. You could wear an open jacket. I would imagine that you did, or there'd be no jacket because you'd want people to see what you did. You're just wearing a jacket. You could wear an open jacket. I would imagine that you did or there'd be no jacket because you'd want people to see what you did. Because it's like a fashion statement to do that.
Starting point is 00:38:50 But that I don't think is going to catch on. I feel as strongly that will not catch on as when I was younger, I was dead right about this. When dudes would bleach the tip of their hair. Oh yeah. I was like, that's not a thing.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Just the tips. Yeah. Frosted tips. Yeah, the frosted tips yeah the frosted tips i was like you know what this is a thing that people are going to be doing for two or three years and then we're going to look back on it and think the way we think about like crimped hair in the 80s like pokemon go yeah yeah yeah you know like pokemon go like it was like already we're like no that's not a thing that's not a thing yeah oh's not a thing. Uh-oh. Matt Rodder, sartorial expert. Not even.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Not even. I've always made the wrong clothing choices my whole life long. Well, you've stuck to, and don't take this the wrong way, safe, reliable, classic looks. I agree. I do utility wear. I do almost always a flannel over like it's partly graphic t and jeans and like more often than not these days like my my hat but did you want to be edgier the thing is like i think i've always liked the thing is somebody the other day was talking about their friend that has a really good fashion sense and i know what it is and like i like fashion like i like seeing for example on
Starting point is 00:40:04 rupaul's drag race like my favorite part is the runway yeah i love seeing the looks like even as a comedian like i don't really care that much to see them do like performance challenges i just want to see what they bring to the runway i love fashion but it's just not something that i i don't wake up every day and say okay what am i wearing you know mean? Like, and maybe in high school I kind of got there a little bit, but I think that was more because I was just really, um, self-conscious about what everyone thought about me.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Yeah. But I, it's just not something I think about every day. Why? What about you guys? Do you guys have a lot of presentation? I was going to throw this over to Monique because I feel like Monique has a very distinct fashion sense.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Um, I'll just go really quickly. I, yeah, i feel like monique has a very distinct fashion sense um i'll just go really quickly i yeah i feel like i i look back at pictures of myself even like two years ago and i'm like what the fuck was i thinking so now it's just like oh i'm gonna like be very cliche new york asian and stick to like all dark all black uh these are my stores, guys. Yeah, but they're, but they're reliable. It's like, and you know, they work for you and they work for me.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Everlane, Muji, Uniqlo, and the Lady Gaga merch store. That's it. Those are my, those are my four places.
Starting point is 00:41:17 But Mo, I feel like Mo has, I want, I want a Huffington Post slideshow. Oh hell. The style of evolution
Starting point is 00:41:23 of Monique. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Oh my goodness So right now, this is so funny Because I'm doing a Facebook live with Natasha Van Blatt tomorrow about like the top fashion She's amazing
Starting point is 00:41:35 She is incredible Wonderful fashionista but Right now I'm actually I think I'm Morphing Into a different style I'm really like I think I'm morphing into a different style. Here we go. And I'm like, I'm really like actually focusing on style. As opposed to before where it's like I just wore what I wanted to wear.
Starting point is 00:41:52 And it's like I had, I used my dance background mixed with this sense of like, I love street wear. But then I also had to do age appropriate in the fact that I'm an improviser. So I couldn't be like, I couldn't be like bomber jackets every day right so now i'm moving into like a zara meets um meets like uh urban yeah i think so i'll still wear like timberlands but like i love tailored fits i'm killing turtlenecks lately it's so weird well you look great in that one right now uh it's so weird and i think it's a mixture of like i love layering me too i'm a big wearer yeah no and henry gets mad at me because i primarily wear his clothes now so like for example this shirt i'm wearing this like kind of uh like green flannel today and he really likes this shirt and i was gonna put this other sweatshirt over it because I love to layer and he was like
Starting point is 00:42:45 I hate it when you wear my good shirts over my other good shirts so you can't even see the one good shirt and you have a t-shirt on underneath that. That's so funny. And I was like but I like to layer. He's like so then wear something underneath it that's not as nice and isn't gonna be like wrinkled or
Starting point is 00:43:02 whatever or not seen and he's not wrong but like what can i say the bitch likes to layer the bitch loves to be warm yes and the bitch loves the look of a flannel popping out under a sweatshirt there we go there we go honey yes i i think you're right on the right track you know my look is like casual gay guy whose room is probably messy and eats a lot of pizza but like you know like lazy gay chic lazy gay chic chic on the end yeah chic where it used to be like it used to be like american eagle nightmare right right i want to point out something it's not too specific about monique she is rocking the rings, honey.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Yeah. The jewels. You need to have your rings. You know what? You know what it is about them? They're not like over embellished. No, they just look good. Simple, clean, crisp.

I'm a fancy bitch yes i thought you were gonna say because like you were allergic to something allergic to fake ass shit potential title of app i'm allergic to fake ass shit but also i'm kind of cheap and i don't want to spend you know a couple bills yeah proper jewelry yeah so i don't wear i don't i wear chokers but i don't wear like necklaces and earrings but i love rings these are these gold uh i think so i mean are these were given to me by beau oh and there's your fucking engagement ring oh my god look at it

I was like, I think we just do bands. We just do bands.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Yeah. For me. Which is fine. I like a nice classic band. I just feel like there should be some diamond there somewhere. Or I said, because i wouldn't want to wear a diamond engagement ring but i would here's what i would do if it was diamonds all around the band and it was just like one ring of diamonds yeah 100 i think that's take a diamond cut a

Starting point is 00:50:51 thought I was gonna get some bullshit thing yeah but I got Donald motherfucking Trump okay and so let me so I made the troll ball like I put everything in there and Anna Dresden created the idea of the troll ball and I thought that that was so, that's so funny, especially because, you know, some people, they might not, you know, exactly know what to do.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Like, you know, some people just like not, might not have an opinion, have a thing. Yeah. Anyway, Monique draws Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:51:16 And the reason I put Donald Trump in there is because I was just trying to fuck with everyone that picked the troll ball. And I think I certainly did fuck with some people. So you picked Donald Trump and I look in the crowd and everyone's got up two fingers with some people you did so you picked donald trump and i look in the crowd and everyone's got up two fingers yeah and it's like two minutes and it's i've never it's like it was like the fucking roman coliseum people were screaming just foaming at the mouth being like rabid like yeah they were and the war honestly i was shook yeah like believe you and i thought okay i can do this i can do this but then i was like holy fuck there's so much to unpack here i know and yeah and i have to say

All I need right now is some ramen to make me fucking feel good. I want to, baby wants to feel good. Let's get me some ramen. Why do I go and why. All I need right now is some ramen to make me feel good. I want to. Baby wants to feel good.

Starting point is 00:57:22 I gave them two chances and they fucked up both times. Their auxiliary dishes are good. Okay, like what? Name some. Like their buns, their pork buns were popping. Yeah. But their ramen is all this weird fusion shit. You gotta deliver the main event.
Starting point is 00:57:34 And it's not good. No, you can't. Ramen's one of those things that's a very delicate sort of thing where you cannot fuck with the formula. It's not good. And they have these weird spoons. I see what they're trying to do. They're trying to make
Starting point is 00:57:45 they're trying to give us their version of ramen and it's like don't do it. Come and give me what I want. Wagamama. Come on. I don't think so honey. I don't think so honey wagamama. Thank you so much. You know what? I guess I associate ramen with like ramen that you eat in college and
Starting point is 00:58:01 I'm not understanding what ramen really truly is. There's a different cultural side of the coin honey right but i do get get very hard when you say the word spicy miso spicy like i'm immediately like ready to go here's a plug for a good ramen place you guys they do ramen and sushi both very well do you know how rare that is this is a place called um zutto z-u-t-t-o it sounds italian bitch it ain't it's japanese where is this um i only order through seamless they're in my they're they're around hudson square tribeca uh soho yeah um fantastic spicy miso ramen yeah give you amazing pork pork belly some amazing soft boiled eggs oh it's the best i love it i love it so much that's incredible yeah it's
Starting point is 00:58:45 incredible but they fucked up so but you know what i didn't talk about them i talked about donald all right so you know what so you floated around a lot of topics with donald trump but yeah but monique is here to do another i don't think so honey and oh the woman has notes i mean i have to i can't just go off the top of a dome. No, no, no. But the thing is, that's what's so crazy about I Don't Think So Honey is we go right off the top of the dome and there's going to be a twist for today's I Don't Think So Honey. No.
Starting point is 00:59:13 No, not for you. For you towards us. Okay. I don't know about this. What is this? Monique is going to decide on the spot what we do our I Don't Think So Honey's on because we did it to her. Oh, I love that.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I love that. All right, so the coin has now the tables have turned. Yes. And we're going to get our own taste of the troll bowl. I love this. It's going to come from the mobile. I got a taste of the troll bowl myself. I thought I did an okay job.
Starting point is 00:59:36 You did well. What did you do again? Sarah Paulson. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think you did so good. The one thing I would have changed, and I'm sorry, this is a tangent. For some reason I mentioned,
Starting point is 00:59:45 I wish you had done comedy bang bang, which makes kind of no sense. Because first of all, it's over. No, I think it's amazing because your whole thesis was we want to see you in everything and that includes comedy bang bang. And this is the other thing I wish I had revised.
Starting point is 00:59:59 I mentioned her in memoriam reel, which is kind of heavy. And that's implying that she's dead. You're just giving yourself notes and no you can't judge i don't think so honey that way i don't think so honey is from the heart it's about the passion it doesn't matter what the fuck you say no one cares it's about did you make your case and guess what you made the case i don't think you did something amazing which was i don't think so honey sarah pulsing you're too amazing to not work every goddamn day of your
Starting point is 01:00:23 life fuck you for not working more which is brilliant because you're able to come on it positively, but also, you know, the stakes were high. I can spin anything better than fucking Kellyanne Conway herself. Oh, wow. I have to say, if there's someone besides me who I feel is your arch nemesis, it is Kellyanne Conway. someone besides me who i feel is your arch nemesis it is kelly and conway i think i think the end of days we're all going to watch something on television like like bowen is katniss and kelly ann is like the she is my nemesis she's my nemesis we're gonna see a televised fight to the
Starting point is 01:00:56 death by bowen yang and kelly and conway we will speaking of kelly ann yeah here we go here we go this is monique moses are you ready i ready. And you got a minute on there? Okay, we're doing one, right? Yeah. All right. Monique Moses. I don't think so, honey. Donald Trump part two.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Time starts now. Okay, Donald Trump. I don't think so, motherfucking honey. You're trying to repeal Obamacare? I don't think you can, honey. I don't think so, honey, because even your party doesn't like you. Your party's like, Donald, you are dumb, dumb, dumb. You are not a real president.
Starting point is 01:01:27 You think you're a real president? I don't think so, honey so honey no the only thing you can get done is by executive order it's like that teenager at a party when they have a party when their folks are away and you know what you're gonna get your ass beat when they come home but you'll like still try to have that party anyways and deal with it later fuck you donald trump you are like the motherfucking baba duke okay spoiler alert 30 seconds he represents grief everybody is he even human donald trump are you even human i don't even think so honey okay you are fucking demi gorgon from stranger things you are just pushing legislation to literally turn the environment into the upside down and it's probably going to take us like 11 years to reverse and you want to know why i said 11 because it's a stranger things reference all right donald you need to take
Starting point is 01:02:02 several seats because you are the clown from it but the clown from it has better teeth fuck you oh my god three seconds uh why are you wasting our money you fucking suck i tried to go through fifth avenue and i couldn't that's one minute oh my god stop wasting our money on golf trips because everybody sees you oh we see you donald trump we do honest and honestly brava brava face i had no but you know what the thing is like here's the deal now when people when i'm ever like challenged by someone who did vote for donald trump and for some reason is still standing by him or the people that are mad silent now because that's also a thing people that were real opinionated about how she was equally as bad as him and now don't say a fucking word on facebook all of a sudden they're not as political anymore they don't want to talk about it it's like come the fuck on but then i get to talking
Starting point is 01:02:55 to them and they say well why do you hate him so much and i get so overwhelmed yeah he's so overwhelming that's what part of the whole shock of him being president is is it's like truly where do you fucking start yeah we haven't begun i mean we've begun to process it but we it's like just there are so many entry points oh this is a thing um i was just i was just home with my parents this past weekend my mom and i had a nice bonding experience um because a lot of her old students from med school who are still living in china um and even some like family friends who live in colorado who i found out voted for trump and i'm shocked and appalled at them and they've i've lost all respect for them but anyway a lot of my mom's
Starting point is 01:03:35 medical student uh medical student uh whatever uh students from from china who were still there supported him like from afar obviously they couldn't vote but they were like wow hillary's awful donald trump is better for china yeah and now all of them are trying to like all of them are like have business in the u.s and come every now and then but now with this like with this immigration crackdown and like visa crackdown like they're not able to get into the country and they are they have such regrets about just siding with him. Yeah. And I'm like, well, like that. And I kind of like feel sort of it feels karmically satisfying for me to be like, well, fuck you for ever thinking that he was a good choice.
Starting point is 01:04:15 Like and I know it was of no consequence for them. Like they didn't vote. But still, it's like it's such an I told you so moment. And anyway, you know what? Some of us are smarter than doctors in China. So I feel you so moment. And anyway, you know what? Some of us are smarter than doctors in China. So you should feel good about that. It's just. Did you read the article about the woman who voted for Trump and now her husband is being
Starting point is 01:04:30 deported? Yeah. I actually couldn't even read it. I was like, this is too far. Yeah. It's nuts. And it's weird, too. As a Canadian, I should have more of an anger towards the travel ban.
Starting point is 01:04:42 But it's like, I don't even know what his aim is. So I can't even. I don't's like i don't even know what his aim is so i can't even i don't i don't even know so did you vote you voted in canada no i can't vote you can't vote anywhere oh shit so yeah so i'm just like a bystander i'm like a ghost so uh you would have voted for trudeau though oh hell yeah oh my. Oh my god. He is a fine man. He's beautiful. He's smart. He's kind. God. He shakes back, you know? Yeah. When he gets a weird handshake
Starting point is 01:05:14 he just gets a real like a Trump handshake. Also, that shot of his booty. That's unbelievable. It's crazy. You're obsessed. I think the world is obsessed. He's a great dude. He's kind of, it's nuts. He's gorgeous. He's perfect. When I do stand up, I have this funny bit about like
Starting point is 01:05:29 I gave him up. Well, actually I did that. I did that at the show too. I came here for fucking Donald Trump. I left fucking Trudeau behind. It's like seeing your ex just fly. I know. I know. Also, his first name is Justin. Justin. And he speaks French.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Like, do you hear, do you hear him speaking French? Um, yeah. At the Québécois, like Parliament House or whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:51 He speaks perfect French. Do you speak French? I don't. Un petit peu. Un petit peu. No, I don't really. I just like,
Starting point is 01:05:57 I speak direct translation, which is not speaking. It's just, yeah. It's just like, it's like signs. Yeah. I realized I speak more Farsi than I do French.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Farsi, wow. Because Sudi has taught me some Farsi. That's amazing. Yeah. What did you say recently? I think you posted something. The way you say yes is ballet. Ballet.
Starting point is 01:06:20 And then there's. And then what's that? When you want to give a term of endearment to someone, tell them that you care about them it's like you say they're if it's a man
Starting point is 01:06:28 it's Bowen June or Monique John and then my favorite my favorite thing is like the way you say like God willing
Starting point is 01:06:38 or we hope so is Inshallah Inshallah like Inshallah this podcast gets a million views you know what I mean like this podcast this vocal podcast gets a million views you know what i mean like this like vocal podcast
Starting point is 01:06:47 exactly like every day i'm like inshallah i'll find out um that i'm going to disney world today then i'll finally be happy inshallah um but that's my favorite word and i like to use it in casual conversations i love it if you if you if you had told american eagle nightmare matt rogers 10 years ago that he was speaking farsi i think i i honestly think about this sometimes i'm like jesus christ if 18 year old me could see like 27 year old me what would i think and i think i'd be pretty okay with it it would be shocking because it would mean that i conquered a lot of my like fears about my identity yeah and i would be i think i'd wonder like how the fuck did that go yeah but um but i think it'd be nice to see that like
Starting point is 01:07:30 i was at least happy and gay without panicking about it yeah and be able to speak farsi and be able to speak four words of farsi and layering i don well. And layering so well. Got my layer game down. Yeah. I don't whip up enough Mandarin for you. I realize. Teach us some Mandarin. Some Mandarin? Yeah. Hmm. What do we want to know? You know what they say you should know how to do? You should at least be able to ask
Starting point is 01:07:57 in any country you go to, where's the bathroom? Oh, jeez. Great. Is this what we want to know? Can you first tell us how to introduce ourselves um please so we all know perfect beautiful are we mandarin you're mandarin guys any my relatives would fucking flip okay great and then where and then where's the bathroom yes Your Mandarin now. Guys, any, my relatives would fucking flip this shit. 你好,我是Matt. Okay, great.
Starting point is 01:08:25 And then where's the bathroom? Yes, please. It's a little tough, but just go with me. Okay. Just really make your tongue very pliable. And make sure that when we say it, we say it in a polite way. Yeah. Okay, great, great, great.
Starting point is 01:08:40 So that makes it even more complicated, but sure. That's fine. This is, May I please ask 请问 请问 厕所 厕所
Starting point is 01:08:50 哪里 哪里 请问厕所在哪里 请问厕所在哪里 Close enough 请问厕所在哪里 Sorry
Starting point is 01:09:03 I'm sorry No No no no no no no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 01:09:07 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 01:09:08 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 01:09:09 no, no, no, this is, is it wrong? No, it's, it's very wrong,
Starting point is 01:09:13 but it's fantastic because there's something so compelling about Matt just so with such poise just saying
Starting point is 01:09:21 Mandarin gibberish and it's my new favorite thing. This is, this is a new discovery for me how we'll show matt oh this isn't it's kind of offensive but it's amazing no i really it's not offensive i really
Starting point is 01:09:35 don't want to offend anyone i'm kidding this does not offend me which should not offend anyone else there you go and you know what this brings me to an interesting point. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. This is a little tea. Okay. Ooh, okay. So, oh, no, I don't know if I want to go. Wait, you can't. You can't say that. I can't back off of it. I have to talk about this, and I'm not going to name any names. So I recently realized that the word F-A-G was in a show that I saw recently, and I thought
Starting point is 01:10:03 it was hilarious because it was justified well. And the person that put up the show said that they had fielded some emails and, like, gotten was in a show that I saw recently and I thought it was hilarious because it was justified well. Okay. And the person that put up the show said that they had fielded some emails and like gotten some complaints because this is a straight white man that did this. Oh, sure, sure, sure.
Starting point is 01:10:13 That they were now going to take the word out despite it being justified very well because they got emails from some actually women who said that they shouldn't be able to use that word. Interesting. And I've seen the show a bunch and it didn't offend me,
Starting point is 01:10:27 but it definitely opens up a very interesting conversation, especially this week after that DCM poster. Hell yeah. About like words, how we use them, who gets to use them. Because I have to be honest, I was even a little confused after the DCM conversation. Yeah. Because when I saw the poster, obviously I cringed a little bit.
Starting point is 01:10:47 You know what I mean? I was like, that shouldn't be on there. But then why everyone was so mad about the word woke being used. I thought everyone was without kind of saying it because no one was being very clear. Everyone was kind of angry for different reasons. Right. And it was like, hold on. And because it's social media and Facebook where anyone can say anything or give any half reaction or over the top reaction they want um i kind of found
Starting point is 01:11:10 myself saying let's actually have a conversation about the way that we use stay woke like who is allowed is sure or is not allowed to say this what does it really mean because i think there's a lot of misunderstanding about that like i have white friends um and you know people of all different races around me and i feel like that word has become such a part of the zeitgeist that i legitimately had to type into google like an idiot what does stay woke mean where did it come from to tell you i think someone i wish i could credit whoever said this comment but somebody was like unless if this is a three-day symposium on diversity and race relations I don't think that it should
Starting point is 01:11:51 have been named the wokening absolutely right if that was like I see what they were going for but that's the only reason why it's a cringy title if that if like diversity truly like was pervasive throughout the weekend yeah then absolutely like do some weird pun or play on words or whatever but like yeah it's kind of it's like an improv it's sort of it's like the veneer you know it's like it's not really what diversity is not a theme you know what i mean diversity should be a given yeah it's like we should be you know you can't like the theme of celebrating diversity that should be a part of every day yeah at ucb and so to kind of make that the focus like i i absolutely 100 share in the frustration with that especially because you know the people that decided to make it that way were white people yeah it's just like it's frustrating i thought it was handled really well i thought it was handled
Starting point is 01:12:47 there i really appreciated shannon's response yeah oh i i didn't read it it was very it's very very graceful and it really it kind of like said like you know what like this is another opportunity for a conversation and this conversation will never stop until excellent it will just never stop yeah and that's great And that did make me feel proud to be a part of the community because you know what? At least we're having a conversation. And the artists themselves was black, right? I believe so. I don't want to say yes
Starting point is 01:13:14 or no because I don't know, but that would make sense. So you know what? I mean, but going back to that anecdote about fag. Yeah, just say fag yeah just say whatever it's interesting how like it's it's i don't know this is this might be a little thorny for for me to go into but like if it's mostly if it's like women predominantly who are like coming up and like policing that
Starting point is 01:13:41 the usage of that word i feel like there's some sort of a erasure uh on gay men just like on gay men b it's like oh well someone else is speaking on my behalf yeah right i don't know if that's fully representative and it was just interesting because i've seen the show a bunch and i've never thought to myself that offends me however i do have to say i'm grateful to the people speaking oh sure because i think it means i think what it means is like people have been hurt by things and you know you just you don't want to you don't want other people to be triggered by something that but i think maybe there's a little bit of an assumption that it's going to be a trigger where it's not like at the end of the
Starting point is 01:14:19 day we're a comedy theater yeah and you know like the comedy has to come first and if the comedy is not coming first i do think like there is a second there is there is a opportunity to take a second of pause there um but and shows of solidarity um are good and helpful in their intention but also um you know also sometimes just just maybe not fully i don't know i thought this is so hard it's such a it's such a tough fully called for terrible at this stuff yeah yeah yeah i mean and like i remember when i first saw the poster i did like it because i didn't even see the title because i'm colorblind as fuck and i was like oh dcm yay yeah and then i floated away from it and then i saw this like this like moment of like all of Facebook with statuses about
Starting point is 01:15:06 the poster and I was like oh my god what the fuck does the poster say I went back and I saw what it was and I saw that I liked it and I was like oh unlike unlike my name is not on this wow um I mean that's where your color blindness it will defeat me
Starting point is 01:15:21 no no no no it will save you I don't mean i'm colorblind in the fact that i don't know i mean like i'm literally colorblind like thank god like i'm not allowed to fly a plane or like excellent be drafted fight in the war yeah um that's hilarious um monique the time has come oh to give you your oh well you can well you also have the opportunity to do another one of your choice oh yeah if you want so that was just a marquee moment for you oh you guys are giving me life right now if you want to no pressure i mean sure i will i will only because fuck why not why not okay but i want you guys go first we can go first yeah okay so this is now it's time you have to
Starting point is 01:16:00 choose because you've been troll bold yeah yeah yeah and maybe this is something for the guests that come on to the future in the future this is uh like if you've been troll bold in the past but yes you get the opportunity to come on here and troll us big time absolutely so um bowen do you want to go first or should i uh i can go first okay bone's gonna go first so monique really troll bowen here okay here we go and then i and then when you are ready just tell me and i'll start a minute on the clock okay bowen yeah your i don't think so honey is about vanessa carlton and it starts right now i don't think so honey vanessa carlton how dare you come onto the scene the same time that michelle branch does how dare you confuse uh the zeitgeist and and popular music at a time when michelle branch could have really had a monopoly
Starting point is 01:16:45 on this post-Alanis landscape and music. Honey, you ruined Michelle Branch for me because people kept getting her confused. They're like, Thousand Miles, was that Michelle Branch? I keep saying, no, honey, Michelle Branch can rock a guitar and write a song that doesn't involve fucking, doesn't talk about her taking a stroll down the fucking street. I don't think so.
