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

I mean, we don't have the correspondence that I think that we deserve, but at the same still are we've i mean we don't have like the correspondence that i think that we deserve but at the same time i've like messaged her or like when you had like your new logo come out i think i like added her on instagram i was like god just see the new logo yeah i mean first of all thank anyone for listening to this thank you for listening because i think

brandon young brandon like what piqued your interest in culture you were like hmm culture what culture yes what movies tv books what you name it oh my gosh i have a feeling it's going to be very similar i love this i'm so excited it could be very similar i um let's see all right there's two things one i was a very unfun kid. I was not likable. No, I was fine. I was just a very serious very career driven child that wanted to be

a professional athlete and that did not pan out. What sports? Tennis. Okay, so tennis you've been into your whole life. Yes, since I was four. And you still play every morning? Well, most mornings. Most mornings. Exactly. Yeah, it's great. So that's that. And so I think

when I would have culture, I was very into what adults like. Yes, absolutely. Could you practice with a lot of adults? Well, I was around them. I took pride in being the one player that when we would go around to tournaments, my dad used to commend me for this. I'm like, you focused on the wrong things. But he was like, you know, all the adults liked you. But I would.

I would just talk to them. I'd be like, hey, Carol, how's it going? It was because you were respectful or it was because you could talk to them i'd be like hey carol how's it going it was because you were like respectful or was because you could talk to them on their level i think i thought it was because i could talk to them on their level yeah like i remember vividly like ordering by myself at mcdonald's and demanding that i do it and then just like recognizing the like just like the frustration of the day and the eyes of the cashier and the candor i had a few women like that in my life like my oh my god i'm

forgetting her name right now that's insane but an aunt on my dad's side like it was like a sec it was like a distant sure one time she said to me i was like 12 years old she goes you have a girlfriend and i said you to her you know what on and off and she goes i get it oh and i was like yeah and i looked her in the eyes and I knew we understood each other yes so funny and she was like 58 years older than me

oh no right but I mean I can sense that yeah on and off you know how it is yeah how's it going with you

you know my husband he drinks yeah yeah you know I've noticed I'm just like I'm not gonna play dumb I know

do we feel like that's appropriate? Absolutely. Oh, I grew up in Long Island. Where did you grow up? I grew up just north of Baltimore in a town called Bel-Air. Bel-Air. The Bel-Air of the East Coast.

I think David Sidorov is from around. Our friend David is from around Bel-Air. Oh, how interesting. Really? Yeah. I wonder. Was it waspy? It's like a mixture.

Like, I, we didn't, like, my family didn't have, like, a ton of, like, money. So, I grew up in, like, and they did fine. I mean, I don't want. Dad, if you're listening, I know you're a fan. Love no. I get what you're saying, though. You know what I'm saying. But, like, five minutes away was, like, some of my best friend's houses.

And their houses were huge and gorgeous. And then even 10 minutes away was a neighborhood called Todd Lakes that housed like they were just such huge mansions. And in fact, at one point, Christina Applegate and Jonathan Sheck lived there. Oh, my God. I lived 10 minutes from Christina Applegate. What were they doing living in Maryland? Well, Jonathan Sheck lived there. Oh my God. I lived 10 minutes from Christina Applegate. What were they doing living in Maryland? Well, Jonathan Sheck was from there.

He was from like that area. He's from, I think he was from Aberdeen or Habit of Grace, which is like where they, you know, like right around the corner. And this is Christina Applegate post married with children, but pre like.

Anchorman. Yeah. This is pre anchorman. Yeah. Yeah. Because that explains a lot. Like where the fuck does she go? Yeah. Yeah. I know. She used to go, apparently she used to go to this local movie theater and like she would just like go during the day and watch movies and like i would hear about this

in high school and be like oh my god what is happening what are we doing here we've got someone intervene intervene i'm trapped in this jail christina abilade is wandering our town and no one's doing anything i know there were like a strange amount of like like um there was a wb show that filmed like in our town that got canceled very quickly was it it wasn't deadwood no not deadwood everwood everwood everwood no wb show dead i get deadwood and everwood mixed up oh um no it wasn't everwood it was um a show called you might have to imdb it because I'm going to get the name wrong, but I think it's either The Young Americans or The Real Americans. Was it about?

Kids in America? No. Was it about like, okay, there was a WB show, which was, oh, never mind. That was called Jack and Bobby. Oh my God. Yes. Remember Jack and Bobby? Yes, I know Jack and Bobby.

It was like about the young JF young jfk and bobby when they were young i was all in logan lerman and the older hot oh my god that was logan lerman that was logan lerms everyone's logan lerman i don't know any of these people perks of being a wallflower right yeah great oh right right right i never saw the movie i didn't either i heard that uh watson face was good and Emma Watson. Sure. Yeah. The whole thing was...

Yeah. Remember that book? Yeah, I do love that book. That book is a great book. That book is great. We should say, also, they've released new stills

from Beauty and the Beast. Oh, I know that you need more info. I need more and more and more. I'm just not getting enough from them based on that. But also,

Disney disappoints me every time. Speaking of live-action Disney remakes, today they just announced that they are searching for a for a fa for a fa mulan i hate that this i hate that this is getting buzz that it's like we're gonna find a chinese actress like we're gonna do or we're gonna step up and do it like yeah that should be the norm like that shouldn't be like a commended thing yeah of course you should find a chinese actress but anyway that's very exciting what do you mean that we're be like a commended thing yeah of course you should find a chinese actress

but anyway that's very exciting what do you mean that we're gonna find a chinese actress instead of like a korean actress or a japanese or like or like we're gonna absolutely because that's the trend and like what do you think that they're talking about i think i think you're addressing like the ghost in the shell scarlett johansson staff where it's so they're saying don't worry we're not going to find a white person. Exactly. Okay, well that's still not going to happen. Which is reassuring, but also like,

I hate that that's like, here we are, Disney has to make this kind of statement. Oh yeah. Is Kimiko Glenn from Orange is the New Black Chinese?

Kimiko is a Japanese name. I would assume she's half Japanese. Okay. Which I would, it's not, you might as well go all the way,

you know? I agree with you. You know what, like go like, all the way Asian, but full Chinese. I mean, I would, it's not, you might as well go all the way, you know? I agree with you. You know what? Like, go, like, all the way Asian, but full Chinese. I mean, I would even be fine if it was just an Asian actress. Anyway. Just because you don't expect the film industry to even cast an Asian actress. Sure.

Like, that's how stupid it is. Like, we can't even expect Mulan to be Asian. Yeah. Right? That's how dumb it is. Are we still going to, like, get, like, are we going to be fine if it's, but it's also going to be, like, are they just looking for Mulan? Because I think that's how dumb it is. Are we still going to be fine if it's... Are they just looking for Mulan? Because I think that whole thing takes place in China.

As the myth tells, yes. I totally butchered that sentence. No, yeah, of course. As the myth tells. So good. As the myth tells. So now they're doing Mulan.

Yeah. We got Beauty and the Beast coming. Yeah. We hear about Lion King directed by Jon Favreau. Oh my God. Did you see The Jungle Book? I heard it was good.

Henry wanted to go so bad and I just couldn't rally. No, it's fair. I understand. I had to go because another one was sold out. I can't remember. It was like X-Men time.

And I was like, you know, I don't miss an X-Men movie. It's the thing that's a part of me yes i love x-men oh my god i do too i don't know i watched the cartoon growing up and then i like then like something about the movie something about everybody loves this movie but i do think one of the greatest movies of all time is x-men 2 x2 united good it's like i was the one i haven't seen oh it's the best one i know it's so bad i just i honestly can i seen what oh it's the best one I know it's so bad

I just I honestly can I tell you what it is you're a last stand guy can I tell you what it is last stand so when I was little I went

my cousin had a birthday and he took us and we were all gonna go see well he had one birthday one year we all went to go see Corky Romano okay

and I loved it I thought it was the best smartest comedy I've seen in decades. Sure. Then the next year we saw X-Men. And you remember the scene in X-Men when fucking...

Rogue is on the bus. Rogue stabs someone through the... She stabs Jean. I don't know. She somehow assumes the power of Wolverine and she stabs. There's a very sudden scene where someone gets stabbed through the chest and I just didn't deal with that

well as a child. I got very scared of the X-Men movies and so therefore couldn't see them again. I'm a very anxious watcher of things. I had to stop watching Breaking Bad after the first episode of season four because there was this horrific scene where someone gets their throat slit and i was like this is officially like too scary for me i can't watch interesting you stopped

watching stranger things because it was too scary i watched it for 15 seconds it's not that scary it is oh my god there is like the first two episodes are on the scarier side then it becomes like a mystery and then here's the thing though the scariest part of strength like i don't like anything that has like anything that slithers you know sure sure sure no you don't like the slithering the the kinesthetic motion of slithering yeah yeah it's disgusting but anyway i feel like that is like you get hints of that early on in the show i wanted to watch it so bad because winona. Yeah, she's great. I live. You live. But I just couldn't. I love her. Brandon, any other cultural moments?

So now we know you were a wayward sports child. Yes. And how, I have a question. With tennis, how good did you get and how far did you get? Yes. I was ranked in, I didn't, I never made national. So I quit when I was like 15. And then I was like ranked in the mid

Atlantic and the state and like that's fucking huge yeah regional yeah I was yeah which is cool and then I was like I was playing the tournaments to get you to nationals and then I think it was right around that time when I it was just a lot and was like I it was the only thing I had

ever done and I didn't really I realized that by the time I got to high school like I didn't have friends and this is like when I was like in terms of like culture and stuff like that like the things that I like grew up with were like I love Lucy Mary Tyler Moore and then I grew up with like um like other like old movies like oh my god have you ever seen this movie Auntie Mame of course oh my god Auntie Mame is legendary it's legendary it's Rosalind Russell she's like outrageous I thought it was like the best thing in the world my okay oh here's something real though here we go Wizard of Oz like this is like yeah this is like the type of fun I would have as a child sure

I tried to put on I loved the movie The Wizard of Oz so much so much that I tried to put on my own production of it oh and I made all of the costumes out of construction paper. When I say made all the costumes, I started to make all the costumes out of construction paper. But I quit halfway through because this dum-dum started with the fucking mayor of Munchkin City. And I was like, how many more Munchkin? It took me forever.

This is overwhelming. And I was going to play all the parts and then my sister was going to play Dorothy. And then... That would have been amazing. It would have been an incredible production in my living was your sister a performer as a child or were you making her do shit i was making her do shit yes exactly right it's like it's so much fun to be like a like a very just to make your sister do that yeah sisters are good about and she was younger than you yeah she was younger than me yeah you have a younger sister so basically i had i have a sister chelsea who's three years younger than me i just spoke to her today i'm gonna see her in orlando in two weeks oh congratulations i

know how much you love it i am so happy to go and i'll be talking about it a little bit later um oh yeah that terror terror oh that's a disneyland okay sorry but um so so listen what i would do to chelsea is i would dress her up in like her best dress, which is like, I don't know. What dress is good on like a 10-year-old? I don't know. I think like a tutu and a bathing suit would be good. Okay, no.

Never mind. She was four. Because it was 1997 and I became obsessed, Brandon, obsessed with Titanic. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God. Don't even. And I, by proxy, became obsessed with Kate Winslet and her like hunt for the Oscar that

year. Yes. Like really, really invested. So I would dress my sister up. I would call a family meeting and I would get like one of my soccer trophies. I wanted her like, you know, soccer trophies and I'd give it to her and I'd have her come out and I'd have her give an acceptance speech as Kate Winslet in front of my parents. And when she couldn't do it, I was like, what are you doing? This is the moment you

win an Academy Award. And I already valued that at age seven. Yes. No, I completely agree to that. I really was very, very frustrated sometimes. And Amanda, if you're listening, I'm sorry, but I was frustrated with your commitment as a child wow see this is interesting to hear because my sister older sort of did the whole older sibling thing where she made me perform stuff but i just happened to like it too so then we both just had a blast like like putting up fake talk shows maybe it's a younger sibling thing maybe like tried to like it okay but she she just doesn't enjoy performing. My sister just spoon-fed me a lot of stuff, and I'm grateful to her for it

because I just got into playing pretend and doing all this stuff, and then it sort of led me down this funny path now. What's the age difference? Two years. Two and a half years. So it wasn't that bad. And Yang is older than Bowen.

Yeah, older than me. She had dreams of becoming a tv journalist she did not enjoy it after a couple years and now she is um really happy at her current job in communications so anyway she just yeah she was like another she was like a gregarious person that i just sort of learned a lot from and yeah you know so you were both gregarious and had the performer instinct yes girl yes god yes god whereas brandon and i terrorized younger maybe just didn't have the gene oh my god just didn't just didn't have the spark yeah that's necessary because you got it or you don't got it you got it or you don't and you know uh i can tell but i'm seven years old. This Wizard of Oz obsession, though, that's real. I feel like every child has that.

I know. There's nothing unique about it. I think I just, I was obsessed with the making of it. Yes. And I was obsessed with, I love that I know the woman who was originally cast as the Wicked Witch. Yes. Gail Sondergaard.

But then, oh my God, did you see on a VHS version of The Wizard of Oz in the 90s that came out, there was a featurette after the movie played of Angela Lansbury

talking about the making of it. And it just blew my mind as a kid. Yeah. Where she goes into all these vaudeville actors who are like being considered

for all these roles and didn't get it. Buddy Epstein. Buddy Epstein who inhaled the silver paint. Paint, yeah, from the Tin Man, and then he gave it to Jack Haley. Yeah.

Oh, my God. It's crazy. There's a lot of trivia around that. The drama. The drama, honey. Oh, here's something I love, though. This is now, we're getting into teen years, so now you're getting a little closer

to what you're seeing right now. Did you ever see the made-for-television movie Masterpiece? Me and My Shadows, My Life with Judy Garland. um did you ever see the made for television movie masterpiece me and my shadows my life with judy garland no but i heard it's the best performance ever committed to film yes she's meryl streep said oh my judy davis and me and my shadows is the best performance ever committed to film meryl said that said that. Meryl Streep said that. When did this come out? This is like 10 years ago. Oh my God. Longer than that.

We're talking like me and my two guy best friends in high school driving around in the car silently for like a minute. And then one of us goes, um, so did any one of you guys see me in my shadows? And everyone's like, yes, we loved it. Oh my God. Good for you for having those guy friends who also watch. Oh my God. We all moved to New who also watch god we all

moved to new york city together and we all ended up gay i love it but i love that uh it's great the movie is outrageous tammy blanchard also as young judy has a great bit where they're telling her to give more eyes and then she's like really going for it And it is amazing. Can I tell you what you said that really struck a chord with me? Is when you were young watching I Love Lucy and Mary Tyler Moore. That was the Nick at Night that I grew up with, too. I loved Lucy. I loved Three's Company. I loved all those older shows.

And then Nick at Night became friends. I know. Nick at Night is like, like, friends. I know. Nick and I is, like, Will and Grace now. I know. Or we get old. Or we get old. No, I refuse.

I refuse. They don't play I Love Lucy anywhere anymore. No. The kids don't know what it is now. That's so sad. I know 11 a.m. on, like, Tuesdays,

they have, like, a Lucy block. But I think, like, I do love it. It's crazy that people don't know who Lucille Ball is. I know. It is bizarre. It's really scary. Yeah. Or, like, that people don't know who Lucille Ball is I know it is bizarre

well I yeah or like at least don't have like the reference because it was Thursday like every night at 9 p.m. was a Lucy episode

yeah you know what still gives me my goddamn life is Vita Vita Vegeman Vita Vita Vegeman come on bitch yes perform comedy Vita Vita Vegeman

oh my god the grape stomping episode the grapes um everything yes also the chocolates the chocolate when the chocolates came down the conveyor belt oh my god yes oh girl let me tell you something unsung hero of that show ethel you know what she's got a great line when ricky falls into the uh they're in miami and ricky falls uh overboard in a boat and she fell he falls into the water and then she comes back up to the surface and she goes are you wet and it's just like you know what you get it vivian vance vivian god bless her oh i love her god

bless anyone named vivian i know and she's a good later years when it was the lucy show and it was in color and then she just like that was the two of them right that was just yeah it was like literally and they called her viv i could live i mean uh lucille ball on the tonight show with johnny carson doing like her like her twilight years interviews is fascinating she's a total diva it's brilliant did you see the one where she's talking about her latest tv movie where she plays i think as she describes it a hobo wait was that she didn't she do anti-meme like on stage she didn't maim the movie she didn't maim the movie that's okay yes um i know i did not see this hope oh my god she's like i play a hobo like oh god lucy you still gotta think it's like she's so amazing on screen as like a comedian but the thing is

like you get the sense that she was like really she had had it her whole life she just fucking had it oh my god yeah she was done she was clocked well her and judy are just like these these like early yeah tales of of hollywood stardom i don't know i feel i always feel i always shed a tear for judy yeah oh god easy i mean like i mean the poor girl was on pills from like early on they were telling her you couldn't eat. They gave her little things to put in her nose to turn her nose out. And she powered through. They just gave her drugs to keep her alive.

Oh, my God, I know. And God bless her, she pumped out another star. Pumped out another star. Oh, my God. She popped out Liza. God bless her. She made Liza. I know.

If that's the cocktail to get Liza Minnelli, sign me up right now. The real star of that family is Lorna. Lorna Liza. God bless her. She made Liza. I know. If that's the cocktail to get Liza Minnelli, sign me up right now. The real star of that family is Lorna. Lorna Loft. Oh, God. Lorna. Have you ever seen Grease 2? Have you seen Grease 2? I think so.

And here's the thing. And here's, if, if, if your team choir is the name of it, if choir,

um, Matt sketch team is listening. Um, you don't need to know who Lorna is to still get that. It's still funny. It is still very funny just to see the, to see the family together. Once again,

it's the fact that you don't know who Lorna left is and you don't have a vocabulary around her. That makes it funny. Yes. And have you, and have you seen any videos of liza and lorna today and they're talking about their relationship oh oh i need that they're like sitting there together and liza's just like oh god i love her i love her and then like lorna's like yeah we talk every oh it's like um they like it feels very it feels still like i do feel i was just

It's like, Oh, you are on, you are like literally and you know what it was so great to talk to you and i'll remember it forever it's like oh you are on you are like literally you know you can go from being completely off

to being completely on and i a think that's like the most respectable quality in another human being that is like i would love to see you be disinterested in something and then turn on pretend to be interested you know what's gonna be a true sight is mariah carey in 20 years oh god have you seen her on gbc now oh yeah i mean she's truly a puddle oh my god the woman's a puddle god bless her though but like i mean like god bless her god bless her but she is like what is she doing what is she i don't know is it drugs is it too much drinking is it what is she just insane talk to mateo lane about it because like he's got some ideas i'm sure he does future guest mateo lane he'll spill the tea yeah he uh yes well apparently she also like

worked with a bunch of ucb people on like a short sketch for funnier die for funnier die and like she was kind of a nightmare oh no yeah she showed up late to set like she showed up like three hours oh i think i might have heard my first concert first concert ever, Mariah Carey. Mariah. Madison Square Garden. Very nice. It was the Rainbow Tour. Oh, my gosh. And the conceit of the concert was Mariah versus Bianca. Her evil-

And her evil alter ego was Bianca. Heartbreaker. Heartbreaker, yeah. Heartbreaker video. And that was the whole thing. And I remember, I was like, is this every concert? Did every concert have like a story? And my parents were like, yes.

Every concert has a story. That's a good first concert. And I have like a story and my parents were like yes every concert has a story that's a good and i was like really that's great and then like of course that's the only one that had that kind of narrative and in the playbill it was like you might see bianca it might be mariah and it was just like she'd come out like it looked like carmen fucking san diego i don't know it was crazy and the first words she said when she came out were, do you like the ensemble? And she was dressed as a sailor.

Oh my God. It did. She performed Honey. Oh honey, you can have me when you want me. I love that shit. I love Mariah.

I was listening to Don't You Remember. You don't like her? No. Oh my God. A legend to me. Oh my God. like i love mariah okay like i let me tell you and i've i really try to fight for mariah a lot yes good we people i

can't anymore no it's i that that weariness what were you going to say because i feel like i cut you off no you didn't i just said i listened to and you don't remember off her second album emotion so good anyway but you people do need to defend her even mateo is getting tired of defending mariah which is huge it's like she's uh it's like i i she's making it hard she's making it and it's like here's not a human i i think so but like if you like you remember her cribs where like she was like you you can't go in that room i'm not showing you this room and like they left that part in there she was like that's just for. Is it her cribs or it might've just been like, no,

it must've been like entertainment, entertainment weekly, just being like, or entertainment tonight being like, let's see it. Um, but like, there was a moment of just like pure sadness where she's like,

you can't go in here. This room is for me. And it had like a piano in it. And it was like, I was like, Oh, that's that. What's in there.

Something's important. I know. It was like a metaphor. Yeah, sure. Sure. That is. Yeah. That's like, that Something's important. Yeah. I know. And it was like, it was like a metaphor. Yeah, sure. Sure. That is. Yeah.

That's like, that's a glimpse into something. I mean, someone that I know that like apparently knows her pretty well recently was like, refer to her children as props. Oh, and I was like, that is,

uh, that's tough. I don't want to, I, that stuff like it makes me so sad. She's engaged to like some new billionaire well he's a billionaire and it's because she needs money i know i mean she's got she's got an expensive lifestyle yeah i think she probably i mean imagine being mariah carey

she's probably used to waking up and paying thousands of dollars to get her makeup done and her clothing and everything like that but she's not pulling in that kind of money anymore yeah she's not that kind of recording artist anymore i guess like i mean like do you think like she's still like i mean like her old her classics her hits and stuff like that i mean like aren't she probably makes residual money off quite a bit and i'm sure she's a lot of money off the christmas time oh my god did you um yeah guys remember her um hey santa song i think it's great i like it but it's also like, I really like it, actually. I'm kidding. But it's also like an insane song. It's an insane song.

That other song, Santa's Gonna Come and Make You Mine This Christmas. That's the same one. Oh, it's the same one. Santa's gonna come and make you mine this Christmas. What is that? Oh my God, you've got it. What is that? You have not heard it.

I don't accept it. Oh my God, play it. She released a second Christmas album. Santa's gonna come And make you my Miss Christmas It sounds like something I don't write You sound the most like it

You will love this song She came out with a Christmas album in 2009 2010 called Merry Christmas MC To Her second album To you

Roman numeral No not a Roman numeral I think it was actually I think it was just An Arabic numeral to you Letter U And it has some new Christmas hits honey

She does a cover of Christmas time is here From Peanuts From Charlie Brown Christmas It's quite an Arabic numeral 2 U, letter U, and it has some new Christmas hits, honey. She does a cover of Christmas Time is Here from Peanuts from Charlie Brown Christmas. Yeah. It's quite good. She's great. It's so good. I love it. I love it. Oh, my God.

I gotta say, I mean, I'm just disappointed with what it's become. Sure. Because I truly loved her. Oh, my God. And it makes you feel like, wow, if it can happen to her, it probably will happen to everyone else. Like, anyone that gets to that level, like, if you think that Beyonce isn't isn't like destined for some craziness yeah sure you're wrong oh no it's like what it's what beyonce is going to be at like 50 is like probably something that i think might keep

me alive for a little bit longer you know what i'm saying like i mean like i'm talking like what will the coat look like what will like also like she'll be tina knows oh yeah oh like, what will the coat look like? Yes. What will, like, also, like, She'll be Tina Knowles. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. What will Blue Ivy look like? What will Blue Ivy be like? My joke that I always do to everyone is like,

oh, my God, did you hear Tina Knowles' new single? Like, any second now you're going to get a single from Tina Knowles. I support Tina. It's going to be like,

This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists.

We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate, delusional dreamer. And the desperate part, that made a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger.

I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work.

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

will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy

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

solo star um and then and then they had her they interviewed her on some local morning talk show where the host casually said Jay-Z. And then they turned it to... And then it was a split screen. Solange was somewhere else. And they were just sort of beaming back and forth. And then as soon as they cut to Solange, they're like, welcome, Solange. Thanks so much for being with us.

She goes, you said something. You brought up my brother-in-law's name. I do not appreciate that. That is not your business to say like she just just completely was so rude

to these people it was yeah I've actually seen that interview she doesn't really give a fuck yeah it's great she really doesn't and it's so funny

because Beyonce gives so many fucks and Solange doesn't give a single fuck I my my sister told me I should speak to mine there it is

that's the Beyonce there that's it let me feel so good that I'm fine I'm flawless alright um my

I had a Craigslisted roommate uh huh come on that I'm fucking I'm just kidding no I have a Craigslisted roommate

drops that he went to high school with beyonce oh and i know yeah in houston and um that has stayed with me because i feel like and i have to be i'm confessing this here on this podcast i didn't ask enough questions yeah i was gonna say did you pursue that nothing and like i was like because at the time like i think crazy love Love comes out 2003. 2003. Yeah. 2003. So it's like Beyonce. And I don't even think for a second I wasn't obsessed with Destiny's Child. Sure, sure, sure.

But I was so- I felt like she betrayed- I felt like she betrayed- Oh, what were you going to say? I want to know what you were going to say. There was a moment in time in 2004, 2003 where I was like, Beyonce betrayed Destiny's Child. No. You know what no

i see you're very staunch i need to hear both opinions about this i'm gonna moderate i'm gonna talk about this i'll wait all right because i know who the pen says i know who the cane is i'm just kidding wait i cut you off bsj what were you gonna say what were you gonna say about i'm saying no i just feel like i didn't i was like i was like it just didn't register to me yet it was like i think as soon as crazy in love came out i think i was like i was like it just didn't register to me yet it was like i can't i think as soon as crazy and love came out i think i was feeling a very a lot of the similar same things of like like why like why did you leave and also you guys had just like i think survivor had just come out right or that was coming or like not long before that not long

before and then when they got back together the next year for lose my breath yeah and for destiny fulfilled the other their last album i was like oh all is well on the case it felt like it was going to be very simultaneous like beyonce's solo career and destiny child would still stay around right right right kelly roland has some good singles she's a great i fucking love kelly oh my god i know oh my god do you know what's the name of that one with no no oh oh uh motivation motivation Yeah.

I love them so much. Okay, so can I tell you, when I was younger, we went to go see Hairspray with the original Broadway cast. Yeah. And this was Marissa Jarrett Winokur, Matthew Morrison, and as Amber Von Tussle, Laura Bell Bundy. And can I tell you who stole the whole gig? Who? Laura Bell Bundy.

She was giving you the highest notes you ever heard. And I was in the back fucking row, because those seats are hard to get. Oh my god, I got my life for her. She's great. I know. You're not a bit Laura Bell Bundy, man? Now she's racist. Now she fully did a racist character.

Yeah, she plays Chauquen Tell Brown. Who owns a weave shop. I do not know this. I'm not a fan of Laura Bell Bundy. I do love her. She has a side comedy career. What? Doing character videos?

Puts character videos online. She has a character named Show Cantel Brown, which is literally just like... So tone deaf. Like ghetto, fabulous, white girl. Oh my God. Lives in a Holiday Inn. Literally, she lives in a Holiday Inn. It's rough.

And listen, I've loved Laura Bell Bundy since the Hairspray soundtrack, since fucking Legally Blonde the musical. Listen, just because someone is a talented singer doesn't mean they're fucking smart at all. Sure, sure, sure. No, it's true. You guys want to know the age difference between us? You know, I auditioned for Hairspray the musical.

You did? But also in an open call in Baltimore. I cut school and I went down and i oh my god they were doing like a nation but i know i don't know if there was like a nationwide thing it was just like but they probably definitely went to baltimore they did go to baltimore to cast and then i like went in and i sang um i had to sing like a doo-wop song or like a 50s song oh my god oh my god anyway yeah did not um did not make it it would have been my dream to even do an open call as a kid for anything yeah my parents were like why would you want to go act yeah it was yeah but

that's like i was always so scared i didn't do anything i've talked about this on the show oh yeah i'm so surprising you're just pretending to be like surprised by all this stuff but i've like listened to the show just so scared of being gay just so scared oh my god you can't no i mean like i can that that's the whole other fucking episode where yeah you did track and i went to states and everything like that i don't think i was at the level that you were out of tennis but like i don't know i was good and like that was what i was known for and i was like thank god they know me for being fast and like occasionally like the funny kid in class and they're not calling like the gay kid oh man god see like i know i got the gay kid and like i was like oh yeah it was

like seventh grade was the worst and by the time i think i was in like and by the time i was like that's when i wasn't even like i did like my first play in seventh grade but like it wasn't even like it didn't get bad until i guess like seventh and eighth grade and then by like 10th or 11th grade i think uh i'd like assimilated myself as just like, oh, there he goes. You know what I'm saying? Like still holding on to his like heterosexuality, but like completely like obvious, like teachers could tell, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? But I still was like very much holding on to it.

But I, I, I like that bullying side of it stopped. I don't know. So you did get to a place in high school where you did have friends and felt. Yeah, I think I was. Yeah. Like my first like, like, like, yeah, like, I did have, like... I had, like, a childhood best friend, and then I had, like, friends in... Like, I guess I had, like, two, like, my girlfriends in middle school.

God, Megan and Anna. Yeah, we all have those. And I'm more named Allie and Rachel. Yeah. In high school? Middle school. Middle school. It was Vicky and Jeanette and Vicky.

You know, the ones who three-way call bully you. Okay, but Vicky ended up egging my house. What? Wait, what is happening? She, listen, like this all came rushing back to me last week. I was like, oh yeah, this was Vicky. It was Vicky and she denied it. And then I found her the fuck out.

And I think we made up. Of course you forgave her at the time because what are you going to do? Throw away your one fucking friend? Exactly. And now I'm like, I remember it last week out of nowhere and I was like, wait, that's awful.

And I have this vision seared into my brain of my dad at 2 a.m. hosing down the entire house from all the eggs and the toilet paper. And I was like that's like that's so fucked up that's traumatic that is that is that's like a huge deal horrible like that's awful i think i'm so sorry i think i've blocked out a lot of those things i truly sometimes i'll flash back like some like for example i remember in ninth grade i just so happened to be in the one gym period um that none of my friends were in and gym is so hard

that's very hard when you're that age and you're gay like because your hormones are raging and you're around all the boys and you're in the locker room and like i remember just one time like all the guys in the locker room like changed one side of the locker room and then i was all the guys in the locker room changed one side of the locker room and then I was all the way on the other one. And it was because they wanted to be far away from me. I had a disease. And honestly, that is that is fucking

America. That is America. And it doesn't surprise me now with all this bullshit with what's going on in the country because we're all fucking racist and homophobic and like we're not, we're not, we're not. And you can say to your fucking nephew, I support you. But the thing is like, you don't understand. Like we've had it really hard and I'm not going to say we've had it harder than other people.

Um, but you know, there's, it's worth some consideration. I think the locker room thing is like society writ small. Yeah. Like when Mike Pence is a fan of conversion therapy, there's something wrong with that, and I think that everyone needs to really confront that right now. Sure, sure, sure. There's something really wrong with that,

what we're doing to people at that age when we send these messages. There's something really wrong. Something's not reaching, yeah. Something's not reaching. Girls, we've gotten deep into our pasts. We have not talked about the theme. So let me tell you. Okay.

So we do have a loose theme for this episode. We'll talk about it for like 10 minutes. How long have we been doing this? 42. 42? Okay. So we have plenty of time, bitch. Okay, girl.

We have at least 30. This is a two-hour podcast. Let's make it two. For BSJ, yeah. Honestly, I'm having the time of my life. time okay girl we have at least a two hour podcast let's make it two for bsj yeah honestly i i'm having the time of my life well you know the longest we've done the longest we've done the longest episode we've done is josh sharp and aaron jackson oh and it was like 16 hours last but the whole time i felt good it was great i don't mean to put us into a rushed state i just yeah well you know what you really need to think about what you're doing. Okay.

So look, the loose theme of this episode, Brandon. Yes. Is Oscars. The season begins. Oh my God. I'm very excited. This is it.

This is when it's, I had a conversation with Brandon Scott Jones recently where I found out that we were even more connected than I had thought. Girl, how I found out that he enjoys going on the Oscar prognostication websites. He likes to Oscar watch. I do. And I do it.

Yeah, I do it all year. I'm talking about Nathaniel Rogers's website, the film experience. I'm talking awards daily. Oh my God. In contention chris tapley like i'm telling you i'm on these sites and i have been since i was young and what got you into it because i'll tell you what got minty and me into it i was i was a really big fan of lost okay and

i wanted to find out like how lost was going to do with the emmys and that's when i found out about the submission process and the tape system oh yeah and all that and I got really into the Emmys and I think I've been into the Oscars since I was like 7 years old with Titanic but like what got you into it like what made you interested in that aspect of it? Oh it's so interesting I don't know I remember like I remember

like being really into like I liked movies and I liked knowing what good movies were and so I think when I like realized what the Oscars were and like how much my parents liked them and I was like, Oh, what is this about? Uh,

they were just like, Oh, this is for like the best movies. I was like, Oh, well then I need to see all of these. You know what I'm saying? Like being like,

yeah, this is it. And so I was like, well, if the Oscars like them, it was how I like knew what good movies were. And so then it sort of was like a reverse process, I think like oh okay well now I'm gonna start seeing movies to see which one gets the Oscars or like start following them because I guess like my first like real year into

like being into the Oscars was uh quiz show so that that was like a movie quiz show for some reason just like i was into this is 94 93 93 94 after like okay so after forrest gump this is this is for so forrest gump wins 94 yeah um and then uh english patient then titanic and then we're getting into the sensibility area the sensibility is 96 okay yeah yeah because uh emma thompson won for adaptive screenplay yes i loved and i was very excited that year so i remember being like 1997 titanic is my definitive favorite oscars and it's my favorite one i had like i'd seen all five i had seen oh my god i, I had, I saw, um, I saw, um, like, uh, LA Confidential. I saw Good Will Hunting. I saw Full Monty.

that's all I'll give baby okay because I got some sensitive stuff in that email things about my future things about my past things about people I love and things about people i hate baby honestly keep it close to the vest please i can't can i tell you it's my email i gotta have it i'm getting a blackberry because i don't want anyone breaking in i mean no girl i was seven that year and i think i only saw titanic and my parents like allowed me to see titanic but

close my eyes during the boob scene of course. Yeah god yes. And I was like yes Titanic all the way but like looking back like god damn is that like a shitty movie. It's like yes in terms like okay when was the last time you watched it? Recently. Yeah it is like a like. It's an avatar. It's an

avatar. It's an avatar. Yeah I like but here's the thing I'm in the theater watching. My family saw Titanic in the theaters. How many times? Seven times. Wow. Oh my God. A three hour and 45 minutes.

LA Confidential. How the fuck did you get into LA Confidential? I saw. I just like walked. Because you'd buy the ticket with my family to go see that. Back then theaters were different. Did Basinger deserve an Oscar for that? Back then theaters were different.

And Philip Seymour Hoffman won a razzle i don't know no he was fucking amazing in that stupid stupid oh my god stupid and then just him like clutching that clipboard with his 10 in his mouth so good it's such a good movie that's evocative that movie is really fucking it is very very good i remember the next year i think that or maybe not the next year maybe two years later. Yes. Was when Shakespeare in Love won. Was that 98 or 99? Because American Beauty was one of those years.

It was The King's Speech, 127 Hours, Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception, The Kids Are Alright, Social Network, Toy Story 3, True Grit, and Winter's Bone. And I'm going to go ahead and say that every single movie I just listed is better than King's Speech. Absolutely. I was, I, you know, I love Colin Firth.

Me too. And you know, I think he gives a great performance. He's nothing. That, what? He's nothing. Come on, Matt. Matt. He's not hot.

You are losing your fucking mind. Do you want to come for me later? Come for me later. I will. You don't mean this. You're saying this to hurt people.

You're saying this to be provocative. You're a Milo Yiannopoulos. Sensationalist Milo Yiannopoulos. You better call me Milo. Lucian Piani. Lucian Piani. I'm here. Lucian Piani, bitch.

2011. 2011. Oh, artist. I know this. The artist. I saw that movie with Nicole Conlon 2012 2012 was

fucking stupid ass Argo no I like Argo don't it's racist it is racist but my god

I don't know what I feel like you know what should have won that year either Zero Dark Thirty or Zero Dark was great Zero Dark was okay honestly

ZD3 week year week year Argo Amor Beast of the southern wild jango unchained no thanks that was a bad year lame is no life of pie no no no no lincoln no thanks silverlany's playbook i liked i i i was fine with it and i remember thinking to myself you know what i wish this was the standard for romantic comedy. Sure. It was a good romantic comedy.

The first time I saw it, I was like, what was that bullshit? And the second time I saw it, I was crying. Oh, interesting. What made you want to see it again? Yeah. I wanted to give it another chance because everyone was so emphatic about it. And I was like, maybe I wasn't in a good mood. Maybe it was something I missed.

And I watched it again, and it really affected me, actually. Wow. I loved Silver Linings Playbook. I tried it. And actually, it makes me give David O. Russell the benefit of the doubt now. Ooh. But I really don't like it. You finally heart Huckabee.

I actually hate that movie. I love the fighter. And he was the worst in that movie to the actors. Yeah. Oh, that's amazing. That was, I feel like, birth of like a viral video. Totally. Celebrity voyeur.

I mean, like it really shook me. I was shook, honey. Then next year was 2013, 12 Years a Slave. 12 Years a Slave, 2014. Great movie. Loved it. Couldn't get enough of it. 2014.

No, it is a great movie. No, I don't want you to think that I'm mad, but I just like. Thinking about it, it's like a popcorn flick. Yeah, exactly. There's some movies that are just like great they're fantastic there's so much to sit through in like a way that i'm like oh my god it is a very clear my god i didn't mean to i didn't know but i just say no you did though and that's okay and i don't think i will never forget it 2014 was birdman oh i loved it i liked birdman okay i loved it. I liked Birdman. Okay. I loved it, Beau. 2015 was Spotlight. Spotlight. Spotlight I loved.

I loved it, too. And my parents liked it, too. I wanted Mad Max. Oh, that's a great movie. Sure. Beau and I went, and let me tell you, like I said before, I'm scared of a movie like that. And Max, you... And I... We were fucking so high. We were stoned. But Matt, you didn't know what to expect. I didn't know. And literally,

I got my life at that movie. I was screaming, laughing, crying, yearning, learning, and gasping. Learning, yearning, and gasping. Girl, we saw this at the Times Square AMC, bitch. No, bitch. We saw it in Brooklyn, bitch. You couldn't even get your life. No, we didn't, bitch. What? We saw it in Times Square AMC. I promise you.'t even get your life. No, we didn't, bitch.

We saw it in Times Square AMC, I promise you. I could swear. You can't even get your life right now. Fine. All I know is Charlize gave me everything, and Charlize is my favorite actress. Also, give me some more wine. Guys, as we've been doing this, we've been drinking more and more wine. So, listen, this is what I want to talk about.

What have the awards prognostical sites? So can I tell you what they're saying which literally blows my mind is they're saying this year

Birth of a Nation Emma Stone is definitely going to win an Oscar. Oh my God. For a musical called La La Land La La Land.

With Ryan Gosling. Yes, yes, yes. I feel like that movie is they said undisputable that's undisputable now who said that fucking

Sasha did she she was like it would be very difficult or is it like this is what people are saying well because this is this is the bullshit around the Oscars

in terms of best actress and this is statistics and this is just white rug and red wine by the way this goes to show you what we're dealing with here in terms of Hollywood.

The mean age of a Best Actress Oscar winner is 29. That means that usually... Girls, you only have a couple years left. You're talking to us? Yeah. If we're going to win Best Actress, we better get to work.

Honey, I've got a half decade. I think she's just a little bit younger than 29, so she'd be a little bit young for it but no she's all right she's like 20 yeah she's young do you remember her on the partridge family reality yes i do oh my god you do you don't remember yes i do a lot the first time i saw her was fucking zombie land and i was like who's this that was you didn't see her in super bad oh in super bad too yes i remember seeing her in super bad being honestly, she's a thing. I was like, she's, yeah. I remember being like,

there's something about her. Yes. I love Emma Stone. I just, I have a hard time swallowing like Academy Award winner Emma Stone. I just have a hard time with that. She's good.

I just saw a trailer for that film the other day and I was like, I couldn't. It looks pretty. It does look very pretty but it also looks like a Best Picture nominee that I loathe.

Oh, sure. Called Moulin Rouge. Don't do it. No, don't you dare. There you go. Don't you dare. Matt, come at me. Why would you do this?

How could you fucking do this? What about Moulin Rouge is bad to you? Everything. It's his best movie. It's whose best movie? Bob Norman's best movie. It's called Romeo and Juliet because it was written by to you. Everything. It's his best movie. It's whose best movie? Bob Norman's best movie. It's called Romeo and Juliet

because it was written by a master. You better. You see what I'm saying? You better get out. No, I'm not. I will get out. I will walk out

of this podcast right now. No, don't leave. I will walk out of this podcast right now. It's so nice having Brandon Scott Jones. Oh my God. Thank you so much

for having me. No, there's, I don't get it. Nicole Kidman deserved to win. She was so good. Are you, what, what are we, where are good. What are we dealing with here? Talent?

Excuse me? I'm not talking about the fact that Nicole Kidman is not talented. I think Nicole Kidman is very talented, and you can watch Rabbit Hole. You can watch To Die For. Rabbit Hole starring Sandra Oh. Yes, I love Sandra Oh. I think she's great.

Rabbit Hole starring Sandra Oh. I wouldn't say starring, but she's's great. I wouldn't say starring, but she's in it. I wouldn't say starring really at all. She's starring in that movie as much as she's starring in Princess Diaries.

I interrupted you. No, but I'm just saying Nicole Kidman has a lot of talent and if you feel like it was mostly on display during Moulin Rouge, then I feel like you

have questionable judgment there. All I have to say is this. I'm moving away. Away from you. Away from here. Away from the Moulin Rouge. She did not deserve the Oscar

for fucking The Hours. She was so bad in that movie. Let me tell you something. The reason she won an Oscar for The Hours is because they felt bad they didn't give it to her for Moulin Rouge

because they gave it to Halle Berry for taking a top off. Okay. Halle Berry did not deserve the Academy Award for that monster's ball. Brandon just took off his glasses. Take your glasses off. I don't care.

Brandon took off his glasses. Here we go. I don't care. No, I feel like you do care and that the only reason you're screaming I don't care is because you knew. How wonderful life is.

No, let it be. That's a good point. Now you're in the world good point no it's that now you're in the world oh my god we all chose three different wrong oh my god we did we all you're in the world yeah his i did this joel kim booster if you were listening you host a show called i hate fuck that movie yeah fuck that movie I hate that shit I hate that shit fuck that movie new title I hate that shit

joke and booster if you were listening so you know my feelings about Moulin Rouge because I did my little performance about that okay okay

and let me tell you something I would have brought a tomato to that show and thrown it right in your fucking forehead oh my god well guess what

I love Greek salad bitch I need to hear you I need to hear you. I need to hear you talk about this. This is crazy to me. No, it is so bad. There's literally, when was the last time you saw it? How old were you?

Probably yesterday. No, bullshit. I watch it every day. No, I'll tell you when I last saw it. And I can appreciate it even more as I get older because you know what? It's fun. No, it's not fun. I probably saw it last year.

What? I haven't seen it since I was like 13. Why don't you like it? I will tell you. i probably saw it last year what i haven't i haven't seen it why don't you like it i will tell you do you find it incoherent i find it incoherent i find it disturbing to look at i find it very very i thought like the there's not the musicality of it if you're going to take these songs and you're going to mash them up like that that they sound like they literally sound like garbage together i do not need it smells like teen spirit or uh and i do not need whatever whatever it's fucking mashed up with uh to be like to get and it's just awful and then also jim broadbent like his like stupid big scary face just coming up into the screen screaming I can't. And like, I can't go to the con girl.

Yeah, that's exactly, con girl. And then it's just like, he was committing. He was so good. No, if you want to see commitment,

fucking watch, oh, I don't know, Capote. I feel like that. Capote. Yes. Oh,

what are you going to say? He won the Oscar for Capote. He did win the Oscar for Capote and he deserved it. This is to say that the Oscars always get it right. They gave Jennifer Hudson an acting award. You! She deserved it. You do not dispute Jennifer Hudson's Oscar. What? Is that what I

mean? They say, oh my god, she's, of that movie, is problematic but her voice is transcendent. She's very good. Yeah, she's a great voice. She should win many Grammys. Yes, she should. Okay. Not the Academy Award. I'm glad it kept her career going also i think even though he's playing lumiere and you know i love you and mcgregor i don't think that

was the best display of his voice he sounded like a french police siren like he literally yes it's just like everything it's like if you break it down and you watch it, it's like the unwatchable Matt. Okay, I have a question then. And I think this is worth asking. So Ewan McGregor, he's an actor who sings. Nicole Kidman, an actress who sings. Wouldn't we rather have that than a singer who can barely act in a musical? Okay, so then... And i agree that you can find

both yeah but they have been interested in doing that so what's the better thing well okay i don't know it's it you're basically saying they haven't been interested in doing both so like i have to now pick between one or the other you're absolutely right would i take a say an actor who can sing yes i probably would in terms of a film and probably in terms of a play. There's nothing worse than a musical because it's all of it combined together. But if you look back and you think about, I think about Shirley MacLaine, right? Shirley MacLaine is a legit triple threat. You know what I'm saying?

They don't make him like her anymore. They don't. And she's doing her thing in Sweet Charity. And all of the people, like Rita Moreno. Rita! You know who was the closest thing to that in recent years? It was probably Catherine Zeta. Catherine Zeta is really...

She's like full on great in Chicago. She kills it. She's really, really, really, really good. And Renee's good in that movie, too. Renee is good in that movie. And John C. Reilly's good in that movie. And Richard Gere is good in that movie. He's got a great voice.

I think the thing that... Give them the old razzle dazzle. Wait, let Brandon finish his point. Dazzle dazzle. Yeah, no. My point is that I feel like it depends because it's studio recordings, right? Yeah.

So you can do whatever you want to them and i'm not sitting here saying that ewan mcgregor and nicole kimmon are bad and i'm not saying that they're like i'm just saying that that for me the entire composition of that film is underwhelming and i also think that part of it was my best friends in high school saying to me you've got to see this you're not going to believe it you're going to love it you're going to love it you're going to love it and i walk into the movie've got to see this. You're not going to believe it. You're going to love it. You're going to love it. You're going to love it. And I walk into the movie theater and I see this and I'm like, is this what you think I am?

Sure. You think this is me? You think this is what I like? Is this what you think I like? I like substance. I cried so much. When? When she's coughing up blood.

One of my least favorite movie tropes. Oh, sure. That is, that's kind of tired. We have to. TB, that movie

trope it's not tb it's the it's coughing up blood it's like a moment of it it happens romanticized for a reason that's the point of the movie okay i missed the point of the movie i am i then i you know what don't apologize no i'm going to no no i want everyone to listen to this right now matt rogers bullied me into apologizing no no well let's let's flip the tables then i mean what's him i we can probably find a movie that i fucking hate that you like um okay let me see um one of these oscar movies fucking good taste one of these oscar movies um i really loved um did you guys see? This is very hard. Chocolat?

Chocolat. You know I love Chocolat. I would say, you know, I liked all of the 97s. I mean, what do you want me to say? I like Slumdog Millionaire. I like Slumdog. Yeah, I know. It was the first time I ever smoked weed was Slumdog Millionaire.

Really? I was 17 years old, first time I ever smoked weed with Slumdog Millionaire. Really? Way to respect. I was 17 years old, smoked a little bit of weed, went to go see Slumdog Millionaire, was in the movie theater. The scene where they hit the mom with the stick,

I had to go in the bathroom. I had a panic attack. Oh my God. You know, I quit smoking weed like eight months ago and then I had two pot cookies. I was in Seattle recently and I had two pot cookies. Lost my mind. Pretended was joan baez for an hour and a half and then had such a full

blown panic attack that around like 1 a.m west coast time called my best friend here in new york which is 4 a.m and had her talk me down off a fucking ledge i had lost my mind and that's how out of practice i am on getting high babies no i mean once i mean for me it's just like every god i know and sometimes now i'm starting to wonder is it affecting my memory is oh sure do you feel creative on it though hmm can i tell you something i've been confronting over the past month but i don't feel as creative as i used to. I think I'm having an off time right now. Does it have to do with weed or no? I don't think it does. I think it, well.

For everyone listening, I mean, Bowen and I aren't going to LA anymore. That fell through. Oh, yeah. So like. Thanks for answering my text about that, by the way. I appreciate it. We did answer that.

I know, I'm saying thank you because I was very concerned. I thought you were throwing shit at us. Oh my God, no. I was like, Bowen's name is on that text. This is, I'm going to go home and have a panic attack about like, I hope everyone knows I was like very concerned I thought you were throwing shit at us I was like oh my god no this is I'm going to go home and have a panic attack

about like I hope everyone knows I was joking no yeah yeah because I do respect your taste in movies I love you very much I love you so much

don't oh my god no this is great this is a historic moment in Las Culturistas this is one of the highlights of me apologizing our fiery Oscar

our Moulin Rouge argument oh definitely okay but anyway yeah Bowen and I are not going to LA anymore, et cetera, et cetera, for a bunch of reasons. It's good. But I feel a malaise. But yeah, because of that, I feel like something...

I gave a lot to wanting that to happen. Not even wanting it to happen. I gave a lot to it happening emotionally, and now that it's not happening, it just feels like whoosh. You know what I mean? Yeah. It it's like we need to take a second and i personally feel like i'm not creating a lot right now but i do think i'm doing a lot right now we planned our lives around five months of our of our lives around it which it sucks i mean it's for the best this is i've been telling people it's for the best but we sort of have to shift uh minds a little bit. It's all good.

And I also, to be honest with you, I didn't even really want to go. Girl, there you go. I love New York. There you go. Okay, Amadeus. Did you hate that? I've never seen Amadeus. That was the year I was born.

That movie won the Oscar. 84. Yeah. Oh, actually, can we cut that out? No. I'm 23. I was 1990 and the movie was Driving Miss Daisy. No, it was Dances with Wolves, bitch.

Dances with Wolves. Oh, Driving Miss Daisy is 89. Okay. 91 is? Oh. Is it Unforgiven? Is it Unforgiven? I think that's 92.

Maybe 92 is Unforgiven. And then 91 is? One of them is Philadelphia. No. No. No? Tom Hanks won 93 and 94 for Philadelphia. Okay, there you Hanks won 93 and 94 I'm doing all this from memory guys No honestly it's crazy

And I feel the same way And also I could do this with the Emmys Should we talk about more movies That are coming out this year Oh god I gotta follow off track No you didn't at all I'm really excited to see other people I mean i hope that molly shannon gets nominated for best supporting actress which is where they're pushing her i think i think that would be wonderful i i i i

i don't know anything about that but but i do know that i've seen the movie a few times and each time she gets me she has an effect on my God. I just even thinking about the movie, I'm like so wildly like, just like in love with her performance and Jesse Plemons, his performance. It's so, so good. I just highly,

I, I, I cannot wait. I can't wait to see it. It's such a wonderful, Oh God. Do you want to talk about how, how it was to,

to, to make it or yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, I was, I, um, you know, it's very exciting. I don't know. I think it was Oh, yeah. It's very exciting.

I don't know. I kind of feel weird talking about it because I was only on set for one day. But it was written by Chris Kelly and directed by Chris Kelly. And so it was super amazing to watch. That happened to that person. That happened to that person.

He's a friend of mine. And, uh, and, uh, I was just so grateful that he offered me a chance to like be a little part of it. And I would have to say that,

like, that he nailed it. I mean, like he, he just, he just nailed it. And, and I think I,

I did, I emailed this to, I think maybe Darcy or Carden and, or whatever, but like Darcy, uh, Carden is also, she's moving.

I get to do a scene with her and I, I will say in the most like, Oh my God, this is so sentimental. And so no, but I will say that I was at one of the most, one of the most exciting and proud moments or not. I don't want to say proud,

but like just lovely moments of my life is that if you would have asked me like when I started doing that stuff, what my dream would be, would be to be in a movie with a friend of mine. Yeah. The fact that the, a friend of mine directed this incredible movie, like amazing thing.

And then I got to be on screen with one of my best friends as well. Like just for even like two seconds is I, I, I could, you i could you could you could say goodbye right now and i'd be like all right i got it you know what i'm saying and that is a really nice yeah yes and i think that i don't you know i don't even know chris but i do feel like proud of him you know like i i feel like you know this is somebody who's like oh this is crazy i watched his like it gets better yes and like it helped me well i

remember you know what i mean i remember the days where he was at the onion and our friend david was working with him and it's like he's come he's come all this way it's it's just so exciting and then to see everyone up there and then in this movie and also the movie just be about something real and it not just be you know it's not just any other comedy you know what i mean like it's not it's it's a really real movie and there's a lot of truth to it yeah yeah um it's it's like yeah like the scenes in the film are like he he's i don't know how he did it but um obviously he's very talented so that's how but like i don't like technically i don't know how he did it but he got he got this perfect balance between something very genuine and something very raw and very difficult to look at, to watch,

to intake, and then just blended it with like, just like rhythmically, perfectly the comedy and the way in the, in certain moments. And that he chose to use comedians to, to, to be like Molly Shannon as like this main character.

And she is out of this world. We need to see more of that. I. We need to see more of that. I think we need to see more of people taking risks with casting, because how cool is it to see Molly Shannon turn out a great dramatic performance? And you know, there's so many people like that that are capable of that.

Remember Maya Rudolph in Away We Go? Oh, she's great. Oh yeah, she's great. So good in it. She's great. She's got that monologue at the end. Yeah. Oh man. I like that movie i like that

movie so good awesome john christensen and you know even like amy puller and tina fey in their work they have these kind of moments of like pathos where you're like yeah there might be something else there yeah there always is um and you know jim carrey's dramatic work and eternal sunshine robin williams is dramatic work and whoopie Goldberg's dramatic work. Like, it's just like, there's something about comedians and yeah, there's something about comedians.

There's something about comedians. No, but it's very true that like, it is fun to watch. I think, um, people, I think,

I don't know if it's a predisposition from watch. Is that the right word? Like when you're watching them and you have a predisposition about them, where you're like, oh, they're going to make me laugh. They're going to make me laugh. Or a preconceived notion. Preconceived notion. That's what it is.

Excuse me. Whatever. No. And you're like, I don't know if they're going to make me laugh. They're going to make me laugh. I'm waiting for it. I'm waiting for it. And it doesn't happen.

Or something slightly off happens. Have you ever seen, God, he made like made a year of the dog and he made. I know who you're talking about. Mike, Mike. God, he co-created. Oh, my God. I'm blinking on all of his stuff now. I'm so sorry.

What? What? No, not. No, Mike Lee is great. I do like Mike Lee movies. You ever seen Happy Go Lucky? That's a great one. What's his, he, it's that,

it was the TV show with Laura Dern. Enlightened. Oh, Mike White. Mike White. God damn it. Mike White. I was like, I couldn't remember. Mike White also did School of Rock.

And like, yes. School of Rock. And The Good Girl. Like, he has got like really like, his films are, have like that sort of like, like nice balance. But then I think he does a good job of like casting like comedians like Jack Black in like School of Rock.

Oh, so good. Great performance. Great. Also, Sarah's other performance in School of Rock is Michael Hartney. When I saw him, Michael Hartney on Broadway.

Yeah, we should, you should all go see School of Rock. Yeah. Um, so if I had to say something I'm looking forward to for the Oscar season this year, I guess, you know,

I, I, Jackie, the trailer came out forward to for the Oscar season this year. I guess, you know, I, Jackie, the trailer came out today with Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy. I think that's going to be exciting. It's like such a trophy grab. I'm going to go. It's baiting. Yeah.

Oh, I will. Let's all go right now. Let's go now. And also we got a couple big sci-fi movies out this year. And the one I'm really excited about is Arrival. Yes. With Amy Adams, who i live for

i live for drop dead gorgeous yeah come on drop dead gorgeous that was her first movie i know and she crushed it crushed it and that was her first movie and then she didn't work for like several years and i remember seeing her again and like junebug and all these things and i'm like she's so good and i was like oh yeah amy adams and they were like what do you mean oh yeah amy adams i'm like what she hasn't been a thing? And then I realized, no, she hadn't worked in years. Oh my God, that's crazy. But then Junebug and Enchanted and ever since then, it's been huge.

It was stressful. Also, the sound mixing was really bad. I couldn't hear anything. I think that's intentional. Could have been the theater I was at. Also could have been intentional. But the whole last monologue that Ellen Burstyn gives, I couldn't hear a word of it.

And I was like, maybe it was poignant, but I'll never know. And I really enjoy Christopher Nolan. I love The Dark Knight. Yeah. It's a good movie. And I love The Dark Knight Rises. Sure. Oh, Anne Hathaway.

I thought she was amazing. That's part of the movie. Thoughts on Anne Hathaway. Before we end this conversation, thoughts on Anne Hathaway. I thought she was amazing. That's part of the movie. Thoughts on Anne Hathaway. Before we end this conversation, thoughts on Anne Hathaway. Okay. Rather than talk about it, I'm going to make a noise. Okay? Okay.

She brings it to every ball. And you know what? Haters can hate. She's consistent. No, I agree. I think haters can hate. But at the same time like she is consistent yeah

and she's talented she can sing she can she could be I think she's a technical triple threat Brandon here's what you need to do

I've listened to it Anne Hathaway Daisy Ridley and Barbra Streisand and Anne Hathaway then Maggie do you wanna dance and I said daddy

She served her life. At Barclays? Yes. Oh, okay. God, she's... I love Barclays. It's the thing is that, like, it's just... It's the best culture.

You know who's severely underrated now? Who? Who? Oh, yeah. She's coming back, baby. Beth fucking Mandler. I went back and listened to her old stuff when she sang, like, really, like, ballroom-y, jazzy stuff.

Amazing singer. In the 80s. Such a good singer. Yeah. Oh, my God. I love Beth. Like, you're talking, like, 70s, 80s Beth? Like, do you want to dance? Yeah. Like, such good music. I love her.'re talking like 70s 80s like do you want to dance

yeah like such good music I love her she was like a huge I mean like she was like like I don't even know what she how to describe her

because she wasn't an actress she wasn't exclusively a singer you know what I'm saying I mean she was all these things right right right but like I think

she's a performer she was just like a performer and her breakout movie was The Rose where she played a rock star who ended up like with a drug problem. And it was kind of very reminiscent of Janis Joplin's life story,

because it was very reminiscent of that. And she was nominated for an Oscar, and that started her career. But that's very much why everyone was paying attention to her. And then she kind of became the Bette Midler, kind of vaudevillian movie star. I love it though love it annual halloween party oh so huge i mean hocus pocus changed my life oh yeah just seeing her i was like who is that movie is i think hocus pocus um might have been actually i would have

wagered to guess that hocus pocus is very formative in one lady gaga's life oh sure that'd be interesting yeah yeah i mean if she's like how old is she how old is like Lady Gaga's life. Oh, sure. That'd be interesting. Yeah. I mean, she's like, how old is she? How old is she? Like 20? She's 30. Oh, she's 30. Yeah. 30.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. I would say that that's like, that movie came out in, remember, I'm going to do it, 1993. Good. Yeah. There you go. Michelle Trachtenberg.

Trachtenberg. Trachtenberg was in Hocus Pocus? Yes. And what's her face she was there was that other actress oh Matt don't even go ahead

tractenberg oh my god it's not you're absolutely right oh my god i'm getting the names mixed up it's the one it's the lovely lady from uh american beauty when she's thora birch oh my god oh my god i can't believe i was so fucking indignant can you please edit that one they're easily confused all right right, guys. We've had this discussion for a long time. It's time to move into the centerpiece of our show. It's time for I Don't Think So, Honey. Now, as we know, I Don't Think So, Honey is the moment of everyone's week.

When they tune in, they all wait for I Don't Think So, Honey. And here it is. We have 60 seconds to rail against anything in culture that's making you mad. And you know what? Maybe it gets real. Maybe it gets silly. Maybe it's prepared. Maybe it's not.

But you know what? Here it comes. And Bowen, I think, is going to be first. I always go first. You go first this time. I don't know if you want to hear what I have to say. All right, fine. Here we go.

I'll go first. Oh, my God. I'm really nervous about it. Don't be nervous. I'm going to be listening to yours and then not thinking about mine. This is going to cause some waves. Here's the thing. I have nothing prepared for this.

Okay. Ready? Okay. I don't think so, honey. Matt Rogers, time starts now. I don't think so, honey. Split-sider. You guys came from my friends Rachel Winnitsky and Ned Risely today, and they released an

amazing video, and you released a fucking bullshit article about it, and you should retract it. It should be should retract it it should be edited or it or it should be apologized for and i'm serious because what you did is you posted a video and what you should have done is you should have drawn attention to a great piece of musical comedy everyone should look up friends who folk and enjoy it but what you did was you were like oh the harmonies in this are bullshit and grating. Think about what the word grating means when you put up something that's sung by a woman and a gay man. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Splitsider, I'm not happy about this. I don't think so, honey. I think that you tried to be funny when it's your job to comment on the funny. Okay? So I think that Splitsider should retract this article by Luke Kelly Klein and I think that you need to

let it go. I don't think so. That's one minute. Oh my God. The most fearless. The most incendiary. I don't think so, honey.

I know. My God. I feel and he's posing. He's posing. Look at him. I'm going to take a picture of this. Don't come for my friends. Don't come for your friends. I going to take a picture of this. Don't come for my friends.

No. Don't come for your friends. I need to take a picture of Matt's pose right now. That is insane. And I'm going to. For the fans, please post. Wow. Wow.

Okay. Oh my God. Wow. I'm going to post this later. This is huge. And I know the writer out of that article and I expect better. Oh. So I don't know why you're bitter.

Oh my God. Yeah. I didn't read this. I did not read this. I think it's just really easy to come for people that actually create stuff. Look. Okay. I did not read. Oh my God. I sent this. I'm upset. I'm pissed. No. I think it's just really easy to come for people that actually create stuff. Look, okay. I did not read.

I sent this. I'm upset. I'm pissed. No, it's okay. I'm not trying to invalidate you. Go ahead. I want everyone to read it. I posted it today.

Bone posted it today. Rachel Wineski posted it today. David Sidorov, the director who deserves a lot more respect than that, posted it today. It was bullshit. You know what? If you enjoy something you want to talk about and you want to post it, then put it up. Don't give me some side commentary about how the harmonies are grading you can hold a harmony for your goddamn life oh girl okay i said sounds good it's so funny how dare you i sent split cider

uh just the editor-in-chief of an email today i was like hi this art i was glad to see that this got some coverage but i think i was glad that this got a write-up but look like the way this was written was very naggy it was very like wow i did you know you don't you don't want to watch this past the 32nd mark but once you do it's worth it it's i'm not going to give too much away but it's one of the funniest things i've seen in a long time the first line of the article is god the harmonies in this are grating i mean really bad i guess it's it's like rachel winitsky and ned risley have good voices and all, but dot, dot, dot. It's like, shut up. What's the point of this?

Wait, it goes on to later, though, say— It goes on to give some vague superlative thing, and then— No, but you should definitely keep watching it. Seriously. It's so bizarre. Even though the first 30 seconds are bullshit, you should keep watching it. The first 30 seconds are not bullshit. You're bullshit.

Your article is bullshit, and I'm really insulted by it. This not bullshit. You're bullshit. Your article is bullshit. And I'm really insulted by it. This is real. No, it is real. Yeah, it feels real. And I'm serious. This is stupid. And this is like,

comment culture has now gone to this place now where none of us even fucking know each other, but we're all tearing each other down. And this is like fellow comedians and people trying to do their thing. And you're not a critic, dude. Wow. Oh, I guess that's like the point then. Like if you're yeah i guess i was gonna say he's not a critic and it's like it's not your job to critique it wasn't like this is a review of this piece it was like you posting it willingly and it's like they put a lot of work into that

a lot of work goes into musical comedy you should know because your your group back in the day tried to half do it um oh girl you are presuming i'm sorry but like this it was bullshit and i really don't appreciate it okay all right well i guess i guess i'll go i really don't have anything prepared and it will not be nearly as incendiary that's why i didn't want to go first oh my god oh no i don't care i fully stand behind what i said yes of course i'm glad you i'm glad you said that um because rachel winoski is one of the most brilliant people i know and she's an amazing writer an incredible singer and a really great comedian and for anyone to come out there and preface her by saying wow her voice is grating fuck you terrible and and you lost my respect okay here we go i think i'm ready sorry brandon no i'm gonna change my i don't think so no don't change it no i'm just kidding

okay here we go are you gonna time me yeah sorry i'm a little uh no you are this is i don't think so i don't know how joel feels about what i just did um go i don't think so honey undecided voters in Pennsylvania who talk back at me while I'm phone banking for Hillary motherfucking Rodham Clinton. You want to come at me and say, just hang up the phone. I would rather you hang

up the phone, even scream at me if you want to, but do not troll me while I'm calling you to see, trying to gauge who you're going to support in November, but you say, well, who do you think is going to win? I called this man up. I said, hello, is this person here at home? And the person who answered said, no, this is his father.

He was incarcerated because he got into a domestic dispute with his girlfriend. And I don't support. And I think she's lying. And I was like, well, I don't want to get into this with you. And then he asked me who I thought was going to win. And I go, well, I'm calling from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Who do you think i think is going to win and i said hillary clinton and he said well i'm voting for hillary but donald trump is my man and i quote he said donald trump has got the popular vote on lock and i laughed i laughed across the receiver i laughed across the line honey you are not a worthy voter for this democratic tenet i don't

think so honey i don't i don't think so one minute and seven seconds so you call and yes announce yourself as somebody calling from the hillary clinton campaign yes and then he asks you who you think's gonna win and i said I said, well, I think Hillary. If the polls are indicating anything, and he goes, nope. See, I think Donald Trump is connecting with people. And he said, I'm going to vote for Hillary, but Donald is my man. Yes, it made no sense. That made no sense.

Speaking of negging, he was negging me, and I was like... I can't deal with dumb people anymore. I can't. I just can't. And before I got off the phone with him, he was like, yeah, well, I'm sorry you can't deal with dumb people anymore I can't and he I just can't and before I got off the phone with him he was like yeah well I'm sorry you couldn't reach my son

but you know this domestic bullshit it sucks like it's a woman's word over his now and I'm like I I don't want to talk about this with you

oh my god it was so uncomfortable I've been having that's why I'm voting for Jill Stein oh good thank god thank god I was having

could you imagine I who knows anymore oh I couldn't imagine because it's all too real oh my god That's why I'm voting for Jill Stein. Oh, good. Thank God. Thank God. I was having... Could you imagine? Who knows anymore? Oh, I couldn't imagine because it's all too real. Oh, my God. I mean, I guess we don't know each other politically that well, but like, come on. Come on. There's no way. No, you know I'm making the right decision.

No, I know you would make the right decision. Okay. BSJ, these have been some heavy, I don't think so, honeys, but I think you can bring us back. You better come hard Biestre mine's gonna be niche probably now I mean no

and your bullshit baseball team the Toronto Blue Jays alright this is called the Major League Baseball of Toronto and your bullshit baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays. All right? This is called the Major League Baseball and it's America's pastime. It is not Canada's pastime.

And just because you think that you are the wildcard winners of last night's game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles makes you a better team. It does not, honey. I don't think so, honey.

You have nasty fans. You have loud fans. You have fans. And first of all all I want to make it very clear I love Canada but Toronto you ain't no Montreal you know it you know I don't think so honey you are not a Montreal poutine does not come from Toronto

But let me tell you something. I'm fine if Trump wins and he cuts you guys up because I'm that pissed at you.

Just kidding. Vote Hillary Clinton. I don't think so, honey. Trump is a piece of shit. Hillary is the way to go. It's hard to say I don't think so, honey, when you want to make a point about somebody you like. Okay, goodbye. I don't think so.

Yes! Beautiful. That was amazing. That was wonderful. Yes! Beautiful. That was amazing. That was our first athletic, I don't think, major league baseball. I don't think so, honey. It was incredible.

You had a whole episode about sports. We did. And then we just abandoned it and probably talked about fucking RuPaul. Oh my God. We have some Toronto stories for you. Matt and I were in Toronto for the Toronto Sketch Festival in 2015.

Oh, yes. We got up one morning. We decided to go to a local brunch spot. There was a line outside. A short line. But then I decided to do the sensible thing and walk inside the restaurant and ask the hostess how long the wait was.

Does that sound normal to you guys? Great. As soon as I walk past the threshold of the door this fucking sandbag human piece of shit motherfucker dude stops me and goes hey what do you think you're doing i go i'm walking into the restaurant to ask how long the wait is yeah because i see you standing in line and you're with your trifling ass and say this to him um trifling ass trifling ass and he goes he goes well the way things work he goes the way things work around here is you you wait in the back of the line and he

i gotta tell you this person was oh i was there no you and sudi were on your way it was me rachel and doug who were waiting and so and then oh my god and i i turned him and i go thank you so much for your help and then rachel winitsky speaking of the god bless her goes wow people she goes wow people in canada are nice, aren't they? And then we walked to the back of the line because he refused to let us inside the restaurant. It was a fiasco, and he was by far the rudest human being

I've ever met in my life. Anyway, Toronto, I don't think so, honey. As a Canadian citizen, I get to say this. Yes, I realized that midway through. No, that's okay. I want to just make sure that you know that I do love that country. Yes, yes, yes.

And I'm sure Toronto has fine parts, but I don't think so much of Toronto. I don't think so much of Toronto. And Toronto, listen, you ain't no Montreal,
