Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang - On The Eighth Day of Culture... September 9th, 1999: Diana Ross Jiggles Lil Kim's Tit From Below at the VMA's

Episode Date: December 21, 2020

On Day 8 of the 12 Days of Culture, Matt & Bow discuss a whole host of what-not-to-do's, such as attending large sex parties during a pandemic, attempting to organize a large sex party during the ...pandemic via subtweets on Twitter, and invading someone's space during an awards show! While discussing Diana Ross's well-meaning yet infamous boob-jiggle of Lil Kim way back in the late 90's, our hosts also delve into other problematic instances of awards show onstage indiscretion, such as the famous Halle Berry-Adrien Brody of it all, and the less famous (but pretty jarring) Jim Carrey-Alicia Silverstone *moment*. If you don't know, you will know. Also, some re-litigation of Day 7 of the 12 Days of Culture, and how we must honor the music of the pandemic in the Great After, whenever that comes. We're looking at you, Ms. Lipa! See you tomorr0w! Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're serving up some killer stories, literally, and a few that might make you question whether you really locked the door before getting into bed. So cancel your lame Halloween plans. Haunted houses? Overdone. I'll see you next time. look man oh i see wow oh and look over there wow is that culture yes ding dong last culture is calling you were feeling coquettish i can tell uh just a little swaying of the shoulders you know do you have love in your life? Oh, I mean,
Starting point is 00:02:45 no, because let's be real. Who's out here in Los Angeles, like doing the damn thing on the reg. You'd be surprised. Oh, wait a minute. This is, this will be dated.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Absolutely. By the time this comes out, but apparently there was some, I thank God I'm off Twitter, but the things that I pick up on every now and then, when I checked the lost coach Twitter, apparently there was a gay Twitter controversy today because people, I'm not sure where, people were planning through sub tweets, like a sex party situation. And I don't really know
Starting point is 00:03:18 the specifics on this. I don't really, I'm sure I'll, maybe I'll catch wind of, of, of details, but what is going on? Gay people, let's just, gay cis men specifically, let's just like chill out until we're, until we, we get to herd immunity, please, please, please. I totally agree. We need to chill out with the sex party of it all. It's like, we don't need to recreate that experience that badly that we're going to jeopardize people's health. I get if people want to have sex i have had sex you know what i mean like i think everyone has figured out how to have sex during the pandemic but within a margin of risk yeah sex party yes yes that that means we need something else satisfied completely that can wait i i think and we are not here to yuck anyone else's yum no it's the damn pandemic that's
Starting point is 00:04:07 all it is that's all it is and and just and and that's that's truly it that's truly it i'm just like oh my god what is the gays are truly losing it i could i can't believe i did not hear about that i i can believe it but i can't believe it. It's one of those things. It's, you know, I think that once everything does return, things are going to be a zoo. Like, Aspinoff in LA is going to be an absolute, it's going to be like the red wedding. You won't see me there because people will bleed.
Starting point is 00:04:38 People will get hurt. Yeah, no, it's going to be a site for sore eyes. But I do think it'll be fun in a way like sore brown eyes because of all the fecal matter flying around when you're eating. But okay, so this is what I think will be really fun though. The first like big holiday after whenever everyone gets the vaccine, you know what is something that weird to think about is like my friend brought up the other day.
Starting point is 00:05:03 What if you're in your friend group like the last one to get it i'm like you miss a weekend the vaccine but this is the thing i think it will just we'll we'll look up one moment and be like oh wait no one's wearing masks like it's it's acceptable to not wear a mask out in public anymore amazing let's go see yeah chromatica ball 2022 you know like oh god that'll be so fun i feel like the amount of this is what i hope for in the world is that the amount that's been taken away and has been devoid of ability to continue like now we'll come back later a lot of economists are predicting like a huge boom a period of growth, like that's all on the horizon. We'd love to hear that.
Starting point is 00:05:51 But I think specifically the stuff that was supposed to pop off and launch March, April, May, June, July, like that's like spring through summer, 2020. We have to honor that specific window of culture where things could not have,
Starting point is 00:06:01 could not be permitted. Like, like the way Dua Lipa is doing it now is maybe it's not even quite what I'm thinking, but it's like, I think we should have, could not be permitted. Like the way Dua Lipa is doing it now. Yes. Maybe it's not even quite what I'm thinking, but it's like, I think we should have like, we should revisit as a collective group of people at some point when it's safe again, like future nostalgia and be like,
Starting point is 00:06:17 Oh my God, let's give this album the fly. I know it's been like a year and a half at this point, but we have to honor this. You know, I have literally not been able to be with you in space when stupid, stupid love is on. And I go,
Starting point is 00:06:30 look at me, girl. I think of you literally. I think of you every time because of the, how much fun we would have with that song in particular. What? Like, I know what happened.
Starting point is 00:06:40 We would go up to each other, tap on the shoulder and go, look at me. Honestly, though. I feel like the last and go, look at me. Honestly, though, I feel like the last time I was like, truly like joyful was probably New York city pride that summer when everyone was there. Like when we were at Ty's party,
Starting point is 00:06:57 I think it was the devil's playground at Bowery, not Bowery. It was, it was Webster hall. Webster hall. Oldest nightclub in the world. That's what I meant. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:05 But yes, I specifically think you're onto something with Dua and Chromatica, etc. And you know, the first thing I'm doing is going to see that Kelly Clarkson Vegas show. Oh my God. First thing and you'll have your vaccine card laminated and say, I got it. I got it. Oh. The chips are in me. Let me in, sir.
Starting point is 00:07:23 I'm going to wear my vaccine card like a choker. Yes. I want everyone to see it right on my avatar. Oh, cute. Yeah, but literally a choker. Sorry, I don't know why I questioned that as soon as you mentioned it. No, I know choker. Well, reader, it's day eight of the 12 Days of Culture.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Yes, we are edging ever closer toward Christmas. How do you think it's going so far, 12 Days days of culture i think we've made the point every day the only day that i feel like we really couldn't get on the same page was yesterday i just feel like the last episode was because i feel like and here's what i want to say to you bollen if i pitch a rule a day of culture and you don't agree i want you to be able to say to me, girl, no. I would have never said that because I never disagreed with you. And I made that so clear yesterday. You're right. You did make that clear. I guess what's shaking me is the fact that you had not seen that movie. And you took it out on me by saying, well, it's as weird as if I,
Starting point is 00:08:21 what's weirder, you not seeing Jaws or me not seeing Sound of Music. You brought it to a new comparative, comp-lit space. You were bringing comparative literature to the conversation and were out to make me look like a fool. I'm sorry I'm bringing this combative energy. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Wow, I'm catching myself. Do you forgive me? I do forgive you.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I forgive you immediately. And I just want to say, I think that the reason why I got so edgy was because Jaws was such an important part of the culture for me that to know that my sister hadn't experienced it, it just caught me by surprise. Luckily though, that is not the case for today.
Starting point is 00:09:01 This is the day that, as FDR said, we'll live in infamy. He was talking about this day, which is September 9th, 1999. I'm so sorry, we have to say. On the eighth day of culture, it was... September 9th 1999 diana ross jiggles from below from the vmas at the vmas this was a moment of personal space invasion that was like the shot heard around the world the boob jiggle around the world look him the little boob jiggle of the around heard around the world. The boob jiggle around the world. Lil' Kim. The lil' boob jiggle heard around the world. Say that. No. The lil' boob jiggle heard around the world.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I mean, if we had title of ep for these episodes, that'd be title of ep. Yeah, I mean, I think. Clearly. So it's so funny that this is, this is something that I noticed with this moment, with this day, I should say. Okay. I tell you you i say the words vmas diana ross what's diana ross a little kim and that tells the whole story is that correct i say the words vma britney spears madonna that tells the whole story
Starting point is 00:10:18 correct yes there's a third person missing in both of those scenarios. It was Christina. Christina. Madonna. Do you know who the third person was for Lil' Kim and Diana Ross? I feel like I should. It's okay if you don't, because we've forgotten about her presence. At least I have until very recently. So it was Lil' Kim, Diana Ross, and I'm going to guess. I don't know why I'm going to guess this, but was it Anastasia? It was Mary J.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Blige. Mary J. See, I knew it was another singer. Oh my god, Mary J. was there, and isn't it true that she had like a take? What do you mean a take? Like she was like not Did she say something or did she disapprove? So, this is what happened.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Mary J. Blige and Lil' Kim were on stage together presenting best, I think it might have been best new artist. No, no, no, no, no. It was for some video. They brought out Diana to make this huge entrance and she walks out and was sort of in her sort of comfort zone, or she was inconsiderate of other people's personal spaces enough to jiggle the boob.
Starting point is 00:11:31 So first she did like, oh, look at this, and did boop, boop, two little jiggles. Before that, though, I'm so sorry. I keep delineating the story. But Mary J. Blige and Diana Ross hug. Sure, a long hug. You can tell they love each other. Mary J. Blige and Diana Ross hug, share a long hug. You can tell they love each other. Mary is so happy to see Diana.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Then Diana, boop, boops, little Kim. And you look at Mary, her face falls. She is disgusted by this. Caught into that.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Just, just very controversial to her, to this, to, to Mary. And she, she disapp to Mary. And she disapproves. And I don't know
Starting point is 00:12:08 who she's disapproving of. Probably Diana. Because she's been with Kim all along. I think, do you think she's mad at Diana Ross? I think that she is disappointed that she had to see this. And I think that it's kind of like,
Starting point is 00:12:22 oh God. I think it's one of those. But, because the fact of the matter is you let diana ross get away with everything because she is careful everything but but but but this was a moment in time where you know you got a question and i think that i saw mary j blige on watch what happens live. Oh, what did she say? I think that recently, I think she said something like, yeah, it was a weird thing or something.
Starting point is 00:12:48 And I believe, didn't Mariah talk about it in her book? Mariah, I think alluded to it. Somebody talked about it recently. It was just like a little like disapproving too. It's like that, like, she's like, I haven't, in a way that was like, I've never had to do stuff like that. I think that was like the subtext. Yeah, but it's funny because like at the time,
Starting point is 00:13:03 people did just, were just kind of like oh yeah i mean that was a funny thing that happened it's kind of like remember when at the vmas jim carrey was getting an award from alicia silverstone and he just literally kissed her on the mouth people were people were doing this left and right at award shows back in the day and adrian rody did it to hallie berry and it was just like you can't just do that but at the time it was like the hilarious kiss that happened but you can like see on hallie bush era thing she doesn't like it well she played along with little kim played along with it hallie berry played along with it did alicia silverstone play along with it alicia was like, I think Alicia was a little bit more visibly freaked out.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Was this in the 2000s? I'm actually gonna look this up really quick. This was like early on, like when Alicia Silverstone was like at the beginning of her career. Okay, so this is what it is. The award goes to Jim Carrey.
Starting point is 00:14:01 She looks amazing. She's giving the award. I'm just getting audio of this. I love this. So he wins it. And he goes up to her and... Oh no, a gasp. She hated it.
Starting point is 00:14:15 She hated it. Oh my God, Bella, watch it. Okay, we're going to do this. All right. She really hated it. What year was this? That's rough to watch now. Just type in Jim Carrey, Alicia Silverstone She really hated it. What year was this? That's rough to watch now. It's sad.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Just type in Jim Carrey, Alicia Silverstone and watch the YouTube video that says Alicia Silverstone. Okay, the Emmys. But I'm going to look up when it happened. This was kind of crazy. We're literally kind of discovering this in real time. Oh my God. 1997. Are you watching it?
Starting point is 00:14:41 Yeah. Bowen is grimacing. She is so uncomfortable. Oh my God. I'm sorry. I didn't listen to anything you were saying while I was watching it? Yeah. That one is grimacing. She is so uncomfortable. Oh my God. I'm sorry. I didn't listen to anything you were saying while I was watching it. No, I was just saying like,
Starting point is 00:14:50 isn't it crazy? Oof. That's really rough. You don't love to see it. And the thing is like, it's kind of like around this time, this was happening a lot. Did I fuck up by including this day?
Starting point is 00:15:01 I mean, it's a huge day in culture, but we're using this as an opportunity to examine award show behavior, which is always embarrassing, humiliating, awful. There's no way you actually genuinely look cool in an award show. I'm sorry, there just isn't. There's just such an air of desperation in the whole setting of it. Well, I think that what's happened is we actually, in a way, internalized this behavior to the point where we didn't think it was weird enough. What do you mean? And now I think, like, here's what I think.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I think we chose this as an iconic day in culture. And it is one of the days of culture. It just is. But along the way we realized huh maybe diana ross right up here because we're looking at other cases of it and it's like yeesh and i don't think people this is weird but i don't think people talk about that alicia stoner so much i don't know enough because that is weird and also another thing is the adrian brody hallie berry of it all oh so weird and when no one no one really talked about the fact that he just did i think it was always like they
Starting point is 00:16:15 kissed it was like i don't think she was gonna i don't think she was in on that i feel like i've heard a conversation around this in recent years where specifically maybe only with the Halle Berry, Adrian Brody thing where it's like you can see on her face that she hated that. Do you remember the next year when he presented to Charlize Theron and he did that joke before where he gives up the breath? I remember even as a 13,
Starting point is 00:16:38 14 year old rolling my fucking eyes at home just being like, oh my god. Ew. He's disinvited he's never coming he's like one of the few people who will never be invited to snl band band he's not he's not doing yeah i'm sorry i don't mean to shit on adrian birdie's career but he's um he's he's bad the thing is like that next year after that i remember when charlie's that on did win the oscar here's what sucked this woman has just won an oscar and on her way up to the podium she has to think about
Starting point is 00:17:05 this bit that you did where where now she has to in the moment of her professional career and accepting an oscar think about how to complete this bit you started and they did kiss on the lips very quickly she's like oh yeah sure she was overjoyed and she was like, yeah, why not? Like, it's to echo that into the next year is so dumb. Is Adele Dazeem a similar offense? No. No. I mean, Adele Dazeem is just an unpreparedness. And for me, there's nothing negative about Adele Dazeem
Starting point is 00:17:37 because I believe- But that got brought into the next- Adele Dazeem was supposed to happen by God. You're right. I agree. And he exists. I believe that God made that happen. Did you pray for art that day? I did. I did an art You're right. I agree. And he exists. I believe that God made that happen. Did you pray for art that day?
Starting point is 00:17:47 I did. I did an art prayer that day. I forgot. There's actually been three times I prayed for art. Fergie's National Anthem, when Folklore was released. Adele Dazeem. Adele Dazeem.
Starting point is 00:17:57 I prayed for art that day. The only reason I bring up Adele Dazeem is, one, because it's the number one moment in culture history, and two, although you won't see it in the 12 Days of Culture, sorry no repeats no from the list there's no overlap but i only bring that up because adele dazeem was sort of rehashed the next year and i was and i thought even that year i was like poor adina menzel i can't ever catch a break from this adult design stuff you know yeah i would say like it would really depend on how cool you were about that situation you know what i mean like
Starting point is 00:18:33 well she must have to be because it was so ubiquitous another the other thing is like something you do to someone else and then continue as a bit for yourself i don't know didn't love adrian brody after whole thing, but I will say this. This is so frustrating. Attracted to him sexually in like an intense way. No, honey. I don't know what to say about it. You can go find that person anywhere.
Starting point is 00:18:59 You really can. I think so. You think so? Yeah, 100%. Literally 100%. I'm sorry. There's nothing that exceptional about him i'm sorry i'm a shallow ass what no no no i used to you know i kind of
Starting point is 00:19:11 used to like his like hair um like he's got a little bit of like a crooked nose and like beautiful nose sort of like a like i loved him remember when he was like he was legit the romantic lead in king kong oh my God. What a disaster. This Adrian Brody thing went deep. But then I think like everyone in the industry wised up to the fact that he was probably a bad person or impossible to work with or inappropriate. So what is the SNL thing? He said he introduced the musical guest
Starting point is 00:19:40 like a Rastafarian costume. The musical guest was Sean Paul. And then he put on a fake a fake just just a wig with dreadlocks and set it in um a patch wow so that's okay well we hate that see this is what i'm it's like he's he's a nightmare he's a nightmare. He's a nightmare. And that kind of masculinity, that kind of sensibility lives on today in screaming, screaming volume. So it's, it's,
Starting point is 00:20:13 it's, it's too bad, unfortunately. So I think the comparison is like Diana Ross comes along and juggles the boob of Lil Kim. And I think she's doing it all in good fun, but it does say something about like when a woman is dressed this way you feel you can do anything right because she was famously wearing the pasty so it's less like it's not an invitation how dare you no but it's more of a we have to recognize
Starting point is 00:20:36 that this is not the truth like she's in and like a like a costume or an outfit that doesn't mean you can just even if you're a woman, come along and say jiggle jiggle. I mean, the contemporary narrative around Diana Ross is she is the beloved icon of RuPaul. She is a- The queen of Motown. Stepmother. No, not stepmother. She is the mother-in-law to Ashley.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Is it Ashley Simpson? Yes, Ashley Simpson. And spends the holidays with the Simpsons. Spends the holidays with Ashley Simpson and Jessica and, and the dad. Yeah. I don't know how involved the dad is. The word,
Starting point is 00:21:14 when we say the dad, we famously mean, um, their gay dad, Joe Simpson. Joe. That's right. Who now hangs out with lots of,
Starting point is 00:21:21 um, well, we can only describe as twinks. in a New York Minute. She had this wild night and ended up getting pregnant by some other guy. What? You told her? Not today, Satan. Not today. The Real Housewives of New York City,

Starting point is 00:23:04 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 mentally ill girlies. On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health
Starting point is 00:23:26 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.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey everybody, it's Matt Rogers.

Starting point is 00:24:40 orgy planning, like, like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Be on the pale to me. You can't. I'm sorry. Be on the pale to me. You can't. No, no, no. 100%. We're all going through it. Some of us are doing better than others.
Starting point is 00:24:56 But still, I'm lonely as hell up here. I'm not going to these... Anyway, I don't know. I'm sorry. If you really wanted to figure out group sex, you could definitely do that with two other people. And, and the thing is like, I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:13 There must be something about it. That's better than I realize. If you want to act out your darkest, basest fantasies, buy yourself a game console and buy Cyberpunk 2077. So you can, what is this? Because you, you totally,
Starting point is 00:25:29 um, were wrapped up in at the other night. It's this open world video game that has been in the development for like eight years. It's made by the same people who made this game called the witcher three, which is, which some people regard as like the, one of the best games ever made.
Starting point is 00:25:43 I never couldn't really ever get into Witcher. I'm sorry, gamer readers. I'm not a Witcher. I'm not a Witcher queen, but he's not the Witcher with Henry Cavill. Um, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:54 So the show is based on the video game, hit video game, and it just came out and it's, it takes place in this dystopian world. Of course, based on, based on books, Hans with an exclamation
Starting point is 00:26:05 the witcher oh yes well witcher is witcher was was books oh yes that's what hans is saying but cyberpunk was this tabletop rpg that was in the big in the 80s like it was like a dungeons and dragons type of thing in the 80s but it took place in the future so they developed a game out of it it's a big open world game you can customize your genitals um there's no there's no assigned like gender it's very like cool it's very like you just kind of do whatever you want and then you can go just have sex with anybody and that's wonderful customizable sizing sizing yes yes so so han says show end game both based on the books two penis options with customizable sizing uh cut or uncut uh or you can have um a vagina or you can have no genitals at all you can have you can
Starting point is 00:26:51 customize your pube shaving i have my my character has heart-shaped pubes beautiful beautiful game beautiful game can i ask a question sort of as the audience as someone who doesn't under who doesn't understand the game why do you need genitals as the character like what and why are they getting so granular and specific about the size shape and texture of penises like are you fucking you are fucking in the game but you're not using you're not like using your genitals in any sort of interactive way it's just i think it's truly just like a funny there's a whole culture around these kinds of games around the character builds around customizing your character to look as such a
Starting point is 00:27:31 specific way and since this takes place in this futuristic world where like there is no gender like like nothing matters it's like let's just take it to the full tilt and like make every part of this like you because you're customizing your limbs i think you might be able to hans can you customize your genitals can you have a robotic genital sorry can you have replaced your genitals with robotic genitals with with cyber genitals no he doesn't think this is insane so anyway it's funny because like if i could customize my own body in a video game, I probably would look like like the way they do in the video games anyway, which is tight, tight, rock, hard abs, small waist, huge, smooth, but big, huge tits that sit high and right. and like sort of asymmetrical brunette haircut like beat face and like big biceps.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Like you're a bat woman action figure. And then what are your genitals? Do you have a dick? No, I don't have a penis. If I have to create genitals for the game, I would like to have a vagina. I love that. But see, people are taking issue with cyberpunk for not being able
Starting point is 00:28:44 to customize body type like you can only be one silhouette but everything else it's like the the height of your cheekbones you can like specify within like centimeters but anyway if they're gonna go the whole way they should go the whole way I know I kind of think it's a huge it's a huge sort of I'm just surprised they're making the genitals such a thing it's a because it's a huge sort of i'm just surprised they're making the genitals such a thing it's a because it's a funny like press it's a funny like guerrilla marketing scheme i think where it's like all people are talking about on twitter is the fact that you can customize their genitals it's and it's a way of sort of tacitly promoting the game does that make sense yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:29:19 definitely yeah um anyway it's kind of fun it's really dark it's really overwhelming um hon says there's a great bug where the genitals poke out of the pants but it's more likely to happen if you choose a huge dong and let me tell you i chose a moderately sized dong because i was like i just might as well reflect reality for me and i don't have that bug where my where my dick pops out of my pants I guess it's just like if I was creating a character that needed to be mobile um from experience I know that it's not good for them to have a huge penis because I know how difficult it is I think that I I know how difficult it is to navigate the world with my enormous thick dick it's not as tactical as
Starting point is 00:30:08 han says so i would never impose a video game character with this donger i have this absolute boat this big fucking the only word you could use is schlong and let me tell you something it's like a crocodile's tail if you get hit by it you're fucking dead so you better wish that i am not in a room where they are playing dualipa future nostalgia especially the levitating remix featuring madonna and missy elliott because if are playing that, I'm swinging my reptilian, cockadillion penis. And it has green spikes. Crocodiles are green, yeah? Um, I think.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Or that's alligators. No, no, no. I don't know. Are they all brown? Well, the only difference between alligators and crocodiles is alligators. No, no, no. I don't know. Are they all brown? Well, the only difference between alligators and crocodiles is alligators are in Florida and North America and crocodiles are in other parts of the world.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Other parts of the world. Now, this has been a really interesting conversation because I was ready to celebrate Diana, but then we were like, wait a minute. But then we were like, wait, is she sort of assaulting someone? The answer is yes.
Starting point is 00:31:30 But I believe that she wouldn't do it again. She wouldn't do it again. Lil' Kim, I mean, I don't really know. I don't really know how Lil' Kim feels about it. I mean, in the moment, she's kind of playing along, laughing, being like, it's such an honor to be with Diana Ross because then Dianaiana ross because
Starting point is 00:31:46 what i didn't tell you is and maybe you remember this but diana sort of like pulls in little kim and mary j blige like close to her she goes look at us the new supremes and little kim is like yes and mary j blige is stone faced stone cold just nothing giving you nothing um unbelievable the thing is like if you're Lil' Kim, you kind of have to be like that in that moment. Because what are you going to do? Be the person who screamed at Mary J. Not Mary J.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Be the person that snapped at Diana Ross for doing that. At the time, guaranteed Lil' Kim would have gotten the worst edit and the worst read from the media had she not acted exactly the way she did had she even like micro grimaced no then she would have been like the the like rapper bitch who dared disrespect diana ross who was just having fun 100 right who's to say if that happened today that wouldn't be the the same thing like it's still tough like to be in a moment like that and know in us in that second that that it's happening that there's going to be a narrative about it like i'd be so in my head if i was like 100 these people put in
Starting point is 00:32:58 these public situations like after kanye do that to. I mean, that might have been a reset in terms of award show behavior, though, to be honest. Yeah. Well, now, thank God they have to social distance. No one can get up to Taylor's moon man. I don't think she won one this year. No, she did win one this year. She won a moon man. Maybe she'll win him a lot for Evermore.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Who knows? I don't like that you broke her aesthetic by making evermore color. I'm sorry. Maybe it's a, maybe it's a hint into the new aesthetic. We still at this time have not heard it. At this point, it's been out for a week, but y'all, you're listening to a world. You're listening to us dispatch from a world where evermore has not been released so we will know within hours if the colorful album art says something or it's just a breaking of an aesthetic and therefore can never have
Starting point is 00:33:57 bone's respect ever well i love can i just say something not to pat ourselves on the back too much you can say anything to me i think we're giving a beautiful mosaic or no just we're giving variety in each episode of 12 days of culture different kinds of discuss texture it's very rothko what we're doing very rothko we're giving different it literally is yes we're giving different kinds of discussions in different episodes we're giving you chaos in one we're giving you kinds of discussions in different episodes.
