Like her having like deal with that

Starting point is 00:04:46 like it's like when we had it's like literally like when we had Cecily on and I listened to it after and I was doing my Ramona opposite her Ramona and I'm like I literally was listening I was like Matt shut the fuck up there's an icon impressionist right there shut up so I to do my Lisa

Forget it. You are. Who I owe my fucking life to, by the way. Let's shift gears. Let's shift gears. I owe my fucking life to her. You are the queendom. You are the queendom.
Starting point is 00:05:14 So can we just talk about the fact? How topical we are. Because previously on Las Culturistas, first of all. First of all. We bestowed Adele with the Queendom Award. The Las Culturistas Award Queendom Award. So it's the first
Starting point is 00:05:31 award we've given out in the LCCAs and it wasn't one that we announced but we did sort of reveal that Adele wins. It is the honorary award. It's like the Gene Herschel humanitarian Oscar for the Las Culturistas It's the Cecil B. DeMille Golden Globe. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:05:46 No, we've fallen out of favor with the Golden Globes have fallen out of our favor. But it's like the Cecil B. DeMille Award. We give the Queendom Award. Then this happens. I'm getting chills. Mama, when I tell you I was watching the Insta Live live and turned it off and then this happened. Oh my God. This will be so powerful.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Never sounded better. The way I'm already crying. Somehow the tone is even more pure than it has been in the past. Never sounded this healthy. Wow. This pre-chorus. What a beautiful build. Release.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I mean... And then she stops it. She stops it right at the chorus queendom award i mean you said this you and i facetimed had a long lovely facetime on friday and it's important to catch up with sisters when you're not on mic or on live off mic when it gets real sometimes i feel like our friendship we need those intimate moments where you know there aren't ears and eyes in the room more intimacy now i'm making more time that says it could you fuck you but it's actually real culture number 17 more intimacy now world culture number 99 you said you said to me
Starting point is 00:07:19 um oh did you already say a number i'm sorry it's both it's both what did you say i i don't think you said 17 and you said 99 and it's sorry that's okay it's both it's crazy how this woman just knows exactly what we need musically literally like she occupies a space that i don't even understand like how no one else is doing this like look i'm just gonna say this oh i love kelly clarkson more than anyone on this planet. What's going on? Why are we getting another Christmas album? I guess that's my thing. It's just like, please, God.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I just want a regular album because I know she was so raw lately, and I know she was writing so much. I just want to hear that album because I know she could be giving like this. But she's fresh. Think about this. Adele is coming out with this album, what I presume will be a lot about the divorce, like years, like three years after the divorce or something like that. Kelly is freshly separated. So let's give her time to just state on this. Maybe she wants a Christmas album. It's fine. Let's not. is like let me not just suddenly put all my feelings about my divorce into this album and then put it out let me consider what i want to put out because it's actually my kids are involved
Starting point is 00:08:30 like he's involved we have like i don't know what i'll stand by so it's or some sometimes it's kind of like it's like whenever there's like a divorce and then a piece of work or like a hard time and it's always attached to the divorce feels raw in a way where you're like oh like intruding yeah everyone becomes noah baumbach it like you know it's it's it's crazy anyway i couldn't believe the queendom and like i i i'm so excited for that i can't even tell you i'm so fucking thrilled i'm so thrilled i mean we've discussed two queens so far. Kim K, Adele. And now the third queen is, of course, our guest. Our guest.

Starting point is 00:15:39 I'm not sure. They're tall and gorgeous? We're the writers?

Starting point is 00:16:44 Yes, yes. Of course. Yeah. It's called mother of black hollywood it's like really good i remember when she was on the view a few years ago like talking about it and it's clear like the way even whoopi was treating her i'm a view like historian by the way um like and the way whoopi was like whoopi was so excited she was there and like she just has like this star energy that's gonna be so good for her part and so so exciting and the whole cast obviously lol freakishly good but you know who i was obsessed is in the room ali liba got oh do you know ali bowen what's her deal tell me both of you okay she's a poet she's an artist she's, she's so funny.

I think if we were in person, I'd go like harder after it. But this is by the way, Bowen,
Starting point is 00:18:12 something I used to do on SNL. Like whenever we would have like a host that was like kind of like around my age, like a woman kind of like close to my age. Oh, of course. I know, yeah, yeah. Like I would so hard try and be their best friend. Like I did it to like, I would always do it to Scarlett Johansson when she was there. I would so hard try and be their best friend. I did it to like, I would always
Starting point is 00:18:26 do it to Scarlett Johansson when she was there. I would do it to like Anne Hathaway. I'm trying to think of like, oh my God. I bet with Anne Hathaway you could make it work. Oh, I think I think I got it. We definitely have each other's numbers, but it would just be like, I would go so hard after these, because I would be like,
Starting point is 00:18:42 they're like me if I had it together. Wait, but is that how it started with you and schumer no you guys just like you you just did the movie it started a little differently with her because i literally i met amy when i auditioned for trainwreck and then when i did you're so fucking good you're such a fucking star i can't you're so good you literally make me laugh so much i can't lol that's that's how i met amy and so that was like a genuine like we became friends but everybody else i've tried to like really force myself to be friends with them um and i i i think it has it worked a little bit but you know it goes so hard after them that's okay is there any shame in that like
Starting point is 00:19:25 i don't think there is no i think like some people would sort of like i don't know like think that that was uncool at the show like why are you trying to but it's like literally people have like had sex with hosts like on like totally who cares what that happens no i'm but no i'm saying like fucking like like you know like not to but whatever okay listen we're cutting it out no we're not cutting it out it's actually out there that just fuck people that have come on snl so it's fine there you go um but that is hilarious yeah it's It's crazy that I will never, that won't happen for me. Yes, it will.
Starting point is 00:20:08 It will. No, it hasn't. No, I'm saying that won't happen for me and I'm okay with it because it's just different because the only gay hosts that have come through the last three years have been and I'm like, you know,

I gave the middle finger to the Zoom as did i gave the middle finger to the zoom as i love to do as i keep doing um we wrote that he i mean i i love ryan gosling so much he jeremy and i had that idea we were like let's write this thing we wrote it um i remember we pitched it to ryan gosling because we were like, wouldn't this be so funny? I think in the pitch, I had pitched like, what if you and I play a couple and we
Starting point is 00:25:31 think that Santa is real? I think that was like the pitch maybe or something. I don't even remember exactly. But so we pitched it to him that we were this couple who goes to this party and we think that Santa Claus is real. And he was like, we were kind of like telling him like, it gets, maybe we're like a little, I can't remember exactly, but maybe we're a little like scary about it or whatever. And he was like,
Starting point is 00:25:52 I remember him saying, he was like, it should be like, um, Ryan was like, it should be like, um, maybe kind of natural born killers and something else.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And we were like, yes, totally. He brought that. I remember the day we were filming it. I remember talking to, you know, Jill Bream, who's the costume dream of a person. Yeah, she's a costume head for pre-tapes. She's amazing.
Starting point is 00:26:14 She's incredible. And I remember her being like, Vanessa, are you nervous? And I was like, no, I'm doing good. I'm excited to film this. And then I remember it was just- Jill asking you if you're nervous is so funny. Well, because I think I was like, is this, does this look good? Like, I was just like very nervous because I knew I was going to be very intimate with Ryan all day.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I mean, we wrote it that way. But then I remember we started filming it and he was so funny. And the way that we had written it, just, just for, for the listeners to hear, like, it's like we basically it's like Ryan and I want to meet Santa Claus. Beck's character is like,
Starting point is 00:26:53 is like, he's come, Santa's coming down soon to like a child. And we, we think like, Oh, that's real. Like,
Starting point is 00:26:58 Oh, real Santa's coming down soon. And, and it's just planning to dress up as Santa Beck's characters. Then Ryan has this confrontation with him where he's like where beck's like well it's not the real santa to us and beck and ryan has has this confrontation where he's like what the fuck like we want to meet santa we at no point wrote that he yells but while we were filming r, Ryan starts screaming at Beck and like, where the fuck is Santa?
Starting point is 00:27:29 Or whatever. I think he screams. Oh, I know what it is. He goes like something about his slayer or something. And Beck's like, Santa doesn't have a slayer or something. And then Ryan goes like, well, then how the fuck did he get here or something? I don't know exactly what it is. And then Ryan proceeds to, all improvised, take this, like, huge candy cane that's filled with M&Ms.
Starting point is 00:27:55 And just slam it down on the table so that it breaks. And, like, this is all Ryan improvising. And he was so funny. It was really. I love really, it was so incredible. And we were all just like watching him just being like, oh my God. Like it was so, it was just incredible. And he was so on board and he was, it was just like, he's just like the dream of dreams. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Yeah. Like an actor down. Yes. Yes. yeah yeah like an actor down yes yes but and if fully realized way in a way that like is not does not hamper in an unhampered way you know like he can do it all yes like i'm so jealous of people like that and he a couple times like picked me up like i we would we filmed this thing where like we're dance like i come the table, he like picks me up. And I remember like feeling like, oh my God, I can't believe he can pick me up.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Because, you know, especially when you're at SNL. He's such a strong movie star. You're so strong. And like, you know, I was eating a lot of that late night pizza. I was like, I don't think he's going to be able to pick me up at this point. Oh my God. But he was. Well, he's so big and strong and a movie star.
Starting point is 00:29:04 He's so strong. strong and a movie star. He's so strong. They can afford trainers. They get in such peak physical shape in order to really continue to work at the level that they are. Because if he all of a sudden wasn't big and strong, I don't know that his career would continue the way it does. That's to say nothing of his talent. That's just the way things are. Yeah, absolutely. This is a talented, kind, beautiful man.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Strong. Beautiful man. Which, wait, now I'm laughing because I'm thinking about you being intimate with other hosts. And now I'm thinking of the Kristen Stewart, the finale of Totino's. When she was Sabine and you guys like have that gorgeous like intimate sketch together where you finally like feel seen oh my god that was such a fun the fact that we got to do like three totinos i guess we always did them around the super bowl it's one of the best recurring things yeah it was always around the super bowl it was one of the best recurring things i think the show has ever done. Truly. That's so nice.
Starting point is 00:30:07 It was so, it was like, I wrote those with Chris and Sarah. And we, like, I think it was initially like, I just kind of wanted to do something about those Super Bowl commercials and those women who are like, my hungry guys, you know? And then they like took it and ran. And so we did the Super Bowl activity pack. And then the next year. The next year was something spooky. It was like a horror thing. We turned into a commercial for the Super Bowl activity pack. And then the next year. The next year was something spooky. It was like a horror thing.
Starting point is 00:30:26 We turned into a commercial for the X-Files. The new X-Files series that they were bringing back. And then the last year, it was like the thing where we addressed how my character has no name. And it's just like a woman. I've never had one. A woman who kind of lives to feed her hungry guys Totino's. And it was so fun. Kristen like wanted to fuck you on her coverage.
Starting point is 00:30:49 It's crazy. She was very on board. I was very on board. It was incredible. I mean, it was like, I mean, have I gotten to like make out with the hottest hosts that have come to SNL? You really have. Yeah, you have. You really have. Vanessa, you really have vanessa can i
Starting point is 00:31:06 can i point out something and i'm sure you've heard this before but i think something that is so like essential to like a lot of things you've done on snl a lot of things that you've done outside of it is the sense it's so weird but it is like i think of laura parsons i think of jacob the bar mitzvah boy it's like it's your mouth it's you have this perfect smile so radiant and bright but then you know how to control it and use it depending on the choice or the character and it's so effective and powerful and like in you and said like have people told you that like commented on your mouth specifically i get i mean i get a lot i've never had my smile broken down in that way but i and i really do i really do appreciate it because i
Starting point is 00:31:45 think is this so weird i'm sorry it's not weird at all it's actually um i'm i'm it's i'm registering it and i do think that that's i i do think i mean i think like my miley cyrus impression is like so helped by the fact that we have almost the same mouth like it's like i've always known that you know but it is like i've always known that i've always known that you know but it is like i've always known that i've always known that since she was a little girl i said i have the same mouth as that kid she said to me somehow we this came up that we both get lipstick on her teeth very easily and it's i think the reason i don't want to speak for her but i want to speak for me is like i think part of the reason um my smile is the way that it is is because I like just have the slightest bit of a overbite.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Overbite? Interesting. I used to have like true buck teeth when I was little and I wore braces for a long time. But anyways, what a little narcissist I am that I'm like, let me take you through the boring details of my smile. No, that makes you who you are.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I brought up your smile. I think that I wore my retainer for just post braces for just short enough that this is how things settled. Yeah, same. I mean, I stopped wearing my retainer after the third week and I'm like, I never went back. It's crazy. Did you have to wear night gear? Did you have to wear the thing at night? No, but now this dentist I went to is telling me, he like looked at my x-rays. He was like, you're grinding your teeth when you sleep. Did you know that? I was like, no. And he's like, you have, I might have to tell you to wear a night guard. And I'm like, I have a night guard, but I know here's the, here's the secret about night guards. You get them
Starting point is 00:33:21 and you never wear them, But you feel proactive that you have one. Like mine is next to my bed and I wore it, I think the last time I wore it was probably seven months ago and I wore it for one night. Good for you. I mean, good for you for even trying. Are you guys getting to this? It must be an age thing. There are many more things I have to do. There's much more maintenance that I have to do in order to get to bed. I got to do like, I got to put on the white noise. I got on the eye mask i gotta like pillows have to be a certain way i'm like oh i'm going crazy like i it's this hard for me to fall asleep this is bad no i think that you like to be comfortable and like are often have a lot on your mind and that is you know i thought you were gonna say like as you get older like do you need to do more things
Starting point is 00:34:03 in order to like feel like you need to like maintain health and like wellness for me it's like 100 especially with skin like after i moved to la it's like it's so dry here now i have to oh my god yes it's a it's a 20 minute process reskin i had such an allergy thing when i moved here too like it's just like different air it's different air it's actually rule of culture number 46 la it's different air. It's different air. It's actually rule of culture number 46. LA, it's different air. It's different air. It's different air and it ages you.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Thank you for joining us. Oh my God, am I allowed? Every guest is allowed to join us. When the guest joins in, it actually makes the rule a super rule.
Starting point is 00:34:38 And so that means that it's, when it's a super rule, it's a little bit more. That's incredible. But what I wanted to say, like, anyway, that means that it's it's a when it's a super role it's a little bit more that's yeah but what i wanted to say um like anyway like before we get into the the new pod and the culture that made you say culture was for you was i in working on the pilot with you like obviously i've always like like just loved you from like your sketch work and also getting to hang out with you and work
Starting point is 00:35:02 with you on shrill like you were so funny in that part you guys were so good by the way vanessa thought vanessa thought i was an entertainment reporter well okay here's what happened remember you guys had interviewed me and phoebe and gillian for we did for vulture fest yes we did do that in fact yeah and then and then um you like you were like in the car and you were wearing like a very cute i was wearing like a suit and i turned to her i were going over there and vanessa's in this like blonde wig and i turned to her and i go hey i'm matt we actually met when i interviewed you at vulture fest i'm friends with sudi and i'm friends with bowen and she was like oh yeah well hi and you can tell that she kind of thought that i was like and i'm here to like shadow the set like
Starting point is 00:35:44 she thought i was like a journalist and you guys had to share kind of thought that I was like and I'm here to like shadow the set like she thought I was like a journalist and you guys had to share the car together I fully thought like he was there to like do a story I'm just like arriving to the shrill set in a fucking $600 suit I love this I'm here to write a piece I love it
Starting point is 00:35:59 then I found out who he was and that he was a brilliant actor and now he's a co-star now anyway what i'm getting what i'm getting at is like um in doing the show with you i'm really so excited for everyone to see it like obviously you know for reasons i think the show was great i'm excited to be on it but what i really am excited about is i feel like it's going to show everyone like this completely other skill set you have like we shot this scene at the end of the pilot like not without giving too much away like
Starting point is 00:36:29 where I was just watching you and I was like really on the verge of tears I was just like you're just so good and you so deserve to have like this like starring vehicle I feel like everyone's like it's about time and I'm just so excited to be a part of it and also to eventually trap the entire cast and start to have housewives viewing parties. Oh yes. It's a housewives cast. It's that true housewives cast. I mean. Oh my God. Paul James big
Starting point is 00:36:55 housewives cast. I feel like Poonam's a bit like everyone's a Poonam's Molly. Molly obsessed. Famously obsessed. Wow. And i you and i you and i aiden could get into it i mean if she's not into it we're getting her we're getting her in and if jennifer lewis isn't into it you gotta get jennifer yes she's gonna love it i want to hear her i want to hear her take i want to hear her take so badly but you were making me laugh during
Starting point is 00:37:21 that scene so much i remember you were that was a fun one that was very fun that was fun but i literally i'm just so i'm just so like blown away by you and like i can't i just think the show is so different from any other thing it's and it's just so great and i'm i'm so excited well you're so funny in the pilot and i can't wait i mean i still remember your audition where you like did this thing with your eyes when you're offended and you went like and obviously the listener can't see but you like did this thing with your eyes where you were like expressing so much by just like opening and closing them in such a specific way you were like and it was I had never seen anyone do that before I was like oh my god we had a little fun we had a fun little um audition together when I came in we got to improvise together we got to improvise together. We got to improvise.
Starting point is 00:38:06 This is a beautiful comedy acting tip. For Vanessa, it's the smile. For Matt, it's the eyes. I don't know what it is for me. But, you know, everyone, find your one body part on your face. Find your body part that works best. And, like, use it more.
Starting point is 00:38:21 So I guess that would be my tip for everyone out there that's listening to the podcast. Is if you want to be an actor, really lean into which body part is number one on you. And make it work for them. You know what I mean? Yeah. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:35 So see what I'm doing with my shoulders? Rolling the shoulders. Sort of like that. Sort of like that. If I had come in and did that, I wouldn't have worked. It was about the eyes in that audition. Exactly. Exactly. it was about the eyes in that audition exactly exactly the real housewives of salt lake city are back i love that oh my gosh welcome and last season's

Starting point is 00:41:17 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian.
Starting point is 00:41:35 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. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network,
Starting point is 00:42:11 available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I think it's time to ask the question. This is a big question. The question is, Vanessa Bayer, what is the culture that made you say culture is for me? Okay. I thought a lot about this. I hope so. I fucking hope so. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:36 We invited you here. The least I can do. Okay. I want to kind of go through my thought process with you. I was thinking, you know, when I was little, I was like a little performer and I really loved, you know, What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner. I really loved Like a Virgin by Madonna. I would parrot these songs a lot, even though I didn't really fully understand their meanings. Listening to Dave Holmes, I thought, yeah i really loved annie too and i um as you can imagine when i was younger i had short hair and got a lot of um comments you know a lot of
Starting point is 00:43:11 people would say i looked like orphan annie um not to brag but so but then i was really thinking like what in the world annie let me say she's so gorgeous one of the most beautiful women in the world oh my god i really was like what really is like the mo like the moment okay and what i think it is the audition scene in flash dance at the end of flash dance when she goes in to do her dance audition the irene cara cara what a feeling what a feeling and she goes in there and I remember watching it several times with my mom and she, um, she goes to do her dance audition. She's, it's like a room full of executives.
Starting point is 00:43:53 It's the most unfriendly looking room. Um, they're just watching her. It's like almost like a, it's like a dark kind of businessy looking room. A way our audition room would never look a way an audition room would never it's like an it's like a wood floor like it's not a room meant for dance no and she goes in there and she puts her her what a feeling record into the record player and she starts to dance and she falls and she says can i go again and then she starts the song again and she proceeds to do the most beautiful exciting dance and the and the auditors are going crazy they're having
Starting point is 00:44:38 the time of their lives she's having the time of her life and she clearly got into the school or whatever. Yes, it was undisputable. Undisputable. She runs out. She's so excited because she got it. I, to me, I mean, I remember I had that cassette tape. This is really aging me. I had that cassette tape.
Starting point is 00:44:56 And I remember as a kid, like making up dances to like all of the, all of the, all of the songs on that cassette, especially What a Feeling. And just like that to me is, that's the moment that I was like, oh, this is for me. This is the perfect answer because you can tie it back to you actually being inspired to replicate what was happening in the movie. You were activated by it. That's amazing. So activated. She was such an underdog. She went in. she didn't have the same training as everybody else and there she was winning over
Starting point is 00:45:32 everybody's hearts but what she brought was raw power and raw talent and she brought the intent when she went in there she said there's no way i'm not getting into this program she said i'm getting it how did it make you feel like did it say did you sort of think like that was when you got really excited to just audition i just i feel like i just felt like she she deserved to be there and she got there and i think i don't know it made me just feel so things things do things do work out things it did make me and and you know i i guess in some ways i mean later in my life when i was living in chicago and auditioning for commercials and stuff guess what i liked auditioning you know didn't always get it because of flash dance did you ever listen to What a Feeling before big auditions?
Starting point is 00:46:26 No. Maybe you should have. Hmm. Can I tell you something that is so deeply embarrassing? Yes. Before auditions when I lived in Chicago and possibly before I auditioned for SNL. This is so embarrassing. I can't
Starting point is 00:46:42 believe I'm hearing this with you. You have to say it because then I'm going to tell you what song I listened to before things and it's going to be more embarrassing. And I'll tell you mine's is so embarrassing. I can't believe I'm hearing this with you. You have to say it because then I'm going to tell you what song I listened to before things and it's going to be more embarrassing. And I'll tell you mine's even more embarrassing. So yeah, we'll all do this. I feel so confident mine's going to be the most embarrassing. Well, the readers are going to vote. So basically after we all say our things, we're going to put a poll out on
Starting point is 00:46:58 the Lost Culturistas Twitter and follow us at Lost Culturistas on Twitter and on Instagram. And the readers are all going to vote to see who's the most fucking humiliating answer to this question. So that'll be a fun interactive element. Okay, I'm going to share it. I can't look at you while I'm sharing it. This song that I used to listen to before auditions
Starting point is 00:47:16 was that song, Suddenly I See. By K.T. Tunstall? Yes. Suddenly I See. It really pumped me up. I listened to it so much while I waited for four to five hours to audition for SNL. Like I, I really was into that song.
Starting point is 00:47:33 It really, it really got me going. What do you think it means when she sings her face is a map of the world map of the world? I don't know. That part is hard for me to, I don't know. It's a map of the world. It's a map of the world. That part is hard for me to... I think I kind of skipped over that part in my mind.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Okay, that's your answer. That's my answer. Before any pitch, before any audition, before anything I ever have to do that's high stakes, I listen to the title track from Demi Lovato's Confident album. The song is called
Starting point is 00:48:08 Confident because it makes me feel confident. And when I hear the It's time for me to take it when she goes into it and when they go into it they're like killing it and just galvanize lyrics and i do need to feel like and it's like the the the like beat is like and i'm like why is this demi lovato song hitting
Starting point is 00:48:36 so hard it makes my blood pump and i always don't i don't always book but But I always listen to the song. I love that. That's a very good answer. That's a great answer and I think I'm still winning in terms of most embarrassing. Well, it's just because mine is so on the nose. The song is called Confident. You know what I mean? My Confident song is called
Starting point is 00:49:00 Confident. Suddenly I see for auditions now. Alright, Bowen, what is your... are you ready yeah i'm really ready it's not one song but it is like um a theme of song and that is specifically music from boss battles in japanese role-playing games love that where it's like crazy like it like gets you in them and then i literally picture myself with a fucking like staff or a sword like fighting this like boss like getting myself in the mindset of okay this is you're you're doing something that you don't normally do
Starting point is 00:49:37 you've things have led up to this and you and it is and you will actually like win if this is if i'm thinking in terms of a victory. And I truly think of myself with a health bar, and Fight With Seymour plays from Final Fantasy X, or Sweatshop from Persona 5 will play, or The Man With The Big Gun from Final Fantasy VIII. I have a whole playlist of boss battles. I played it yesterday before like on saturday before before the show because i had to do a big rewrite i had to like really nail down
Starting point is 00:50:09 this like thing this impression i wanted to do that didn't make it to the show like i and it like really gets me there i'm like okay let's go let's do this it's mission oriented mission oriented wow yeah that's good and i and i did that for snl too i think yeah for my audition anyway see i think that with i we all said like mine's gonna be embarrassing mine's gonna be embarrassing i think they all make sense suddenly i see makes so and i don't i mean this as a compliment like it makes total sense for vanessa because it's like she is someone who is who is like bright and this is some this is a song about like like, really like embracing like the, like what you were, what you were going to give to the world.
Starting point is 00:50:51 And that is what an audition is. And confident makes sense for Matt. Like you're. Yeah. And then I also should say, I always was the necessity of that walk by RuPaul. And it's so, so you know how like Bowen is like in his, in his room, like sort of like, like feeling like he's going to be a fighter. I'm like shadow boxing. Yeah. That's good. So you know how Bowen is in his room sort of feeling like
Starting point is 00:51:06 he's going to be a fighter? I'm shadowboxing. Yeah, it's crazy. Mine is a lot of listening to Confident and posing and feeling like looking over there
Starting point is 00:51:16 and being like, you know, sort of just feeling like, you know what I mean? What am I doing? I'm trying to, I'm feeling powerful and confident
Starting point is 00:51:24 and virile. And mine's just like a basic girl on anthropology. Let's do it, hon. Oh, my word. Let's do it, hon. I think this is a great, I love, I've learned so much
Starting point is 00:51:39 about both of you from these answers. Well, that's really what Lost Culture Recess is all about. It's about bringing on a guest and hopefully by the end of the podcast episode, the listener or reader, as we call it, they feel as if they've
Starting point is 00:51:53 not gotten to know everything about the person, but sort of begun to understand something about them that gives more of a context for who they are and maybe going forward gets to enjoy them in their work even more because of that context. That's what makes this podcast great. And the podcast has received critical acclaim.
Starting point is 00:52:10 As it is due. That's my favorite thing on our Wikipedia page is it says, the podcast has received critical acclaim. I'm like, well, that's how you know. Wait, did we? Okay, let's celebrate something because Matt Rogers finally has his own Wikipedia page. They made me a wikipedia page
Starting point is 00:52:25 finally wow separate from separate from the matt rodgers of american idol fame do you know about this no that there's a matt rogers of american idol fame who constantly is terrorizing my life because like it'll be like whenever like a project i'm in is announced it like literally links to him it's like i'm not this american idol season two contestant. I'm just not. Sometimes that stuff will work in your favor. For example, a lot of people thought that I was invited to Beyonce's baby shower. What? And my mom was like, were you invited to Beyonce's baby shower? And it was Vanessa Bryant.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Yeah. People got 80 Bryant and Vanessa Bay are confused. They're like, yeah, the SNL girl, Vanessa Bryant. Yes, yes. So I got a lot of kind of impressed. Impressed messages. Impressed messages for that. But yeah, I'm sorry that you had to go through that.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Now, Matt Rogers, now you're going to be doing that to him. Okay. Exactly. And now he gets to, he gets to sort of struggle. Yeah. He gets to kind of get get in the you know yeah you're doing your voice girl and that makes that reminds me of your other famous voice oh so um we have to chat because um you have um become sort of i think andy cohen's
Starting point is 00:53:40 favorite person and you know that do you ever get the vibe that andy is obsessed with you he's obsessed with you he lights up when you are there yeah he laughs i look i love andy cohen so much and i the the fact that he's given me a platform to do to do impressions that i literally was doing back to my tv during the pandemic is is incredible and just kind of shows you what a cool person I am. Enough. He truly you are the best housewives impression. You and Cecily really are the best house. You and Cecily need to go on the road.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Well, I do also want to give that. I want to give a shout out to my friend Amy Phillips, who has been doing the Housewives forever and who I know, who I've known for a long time. But do you like how I'm like, but I'm accepting it? I'm like, yeah, but also, yes, of course. No, because also you don't get enough credit for your Whitney. Your Whitney is also good. So if you haven't seen like Vanessa doing Whitney and Lisa Barlow having a conversation, it's really something good. Thank you so much you guys what do you make of the of some housewives happenings right now between beverly hills
Starting point is 00:54:52 or salt lake or potomac whatever you're watching i mean i just am really i really want to see how this jen shaw stuff plays out. There's nothing I'm looking forward to more in my life. I mean, we have to see. I also don't understand why Lisa is making such an effort to be her friend, but then it's also, it looks like she's going to fully ditch her in a few
Starting point is 00:55:18 episodes. She's not who we think she is. I think she's talking about Mary in that clip oh i think mary i think that's lisa screaming about mary m cosby but i think i i agree i think lisa's gonna ditch uh jen but i think it's gonna be a i think heather's gonna like really fall out of our grace of the public's graces heather can't for wanting to be friends with it's it's weird to me because that was like why people liked her was because like oh she felt like the most directly speaking to people and yet
Starting point is 00:55:50 she kind of of course is a little bit out of touch at least i think she was just so um she just realized how loved she was in in the first season and she really i don't know i had i felt like she can't she did come after lisa really hard in the it was a lot in the reunion and i mean i i want only good things for heather but um i know i want good things for all of them even mary i want her to get it together like unless she's like evil and a cult leader and which i think we'll find out um but she's forcing her son to join the military which i know never mind i don't know about mary which i think we'll find out um but she's forcing her son to join the military which i know never mind i don't know about mary which i know that like is a thing that people do i guess in families but it's like the watching her talk to him is so upsetting to me i'm like you you you
Starting point is 00:56:40 don't talk to him like he's your son it's so so crazy. I don't know. Yeah, it's very strange. And then also her friendship with Meredith when she's talking to Meredith and Brooks and she's like, I had to fart. And you're like, or I had to poot. Poot. I had to toot. I had to toot.
Starting point is 00:56:56 P-O-O-T. I had to poot. Poot. Which is really the worst thing. It's actually real culture number nine. Poot is the worst thing you can call a fart. It's the number one worst thing. But it's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:57:10 See, this makes me like Brooks less for being friends with Mary. Like they hang out. And it feels like their friendship is based on a dislike of Jen. Jen. Right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:22 You guys, I have to say, like recent news about an event that Meredith Marks attended is going to be my I don't think so, honey. And I don't know if you know this, Vanessa, but when we get to my I don't think so, honey, you're going to hear all about it. Bowen, you know what I'm talking about, right? I don't think I do. Oh, I can't wait to extol.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Okay. All right. So before we get too fucking deep into Salt Lake, I need your Beverly Hills takes this season. As we head into the reunion, where are you in terms of Erica Jane slash Girardi slash Jehoi? Okay, first of all, I just want to say, I work on a Meredith all the time too,
Starting point is 00:57:54 and I've done it on another podcast, but do you guys want to hear my Meredith right now? Yes, please. Oh my God, please. Okay, it's not going to be as good as Whitney and Lisa. You don't say that. Shut up. Don't patronize me.
Starting point is 00:58:05 You're Vanessa. Also, is it so... I just want... Okay, it's something like this. I don't appreciate when someone speaks L of my family. She will not speak L of my family. It's not good. No, you... What is with that A L of my family. Oh my God, you're nailing family. No, you ain't.
Starting point is 00:58:26 What is with that A? My family. She says family. Family. My family. She really, it's something, it exists. She goes really nasal and she goes like, my family. Family, family.
Starting point is 00:58:37 It's like resonant, but also still unhealthy. You know what I mean? Like vocally, it sits in a place that is like placed, but still fry like yes her voice is almost impossible to do because sometimes it's like really high and it's like oh and then sometimes it's like oh when she gets upset it gets really weird it's sort of like it's really cuckoo bird she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like
Starting point is 00:59:05 she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like
Starting point is 00:59:05 she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like she's like yeah
Starting point is 00:59:06 I guys are you losing respect for me because I tried a bad impression for you shut up no I'm making you by the way it seems like I asked you that just so you guys would be like
Starting point is 00:59:14 no it was good we'd like to Vanessa it was good and we're we're talking about it and we're like really exploring it's a perfect impression
Starting point is 00:59:23 we're exploring it we're exploring it we're getting there and if we were Andy Cohen right now Andy Cohen would be falling off the bed he'd roll over and they'd have to pick his son off the floor and move him to the other way because Andy's rolling with laughter. He might roll right over his son.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Benjamin. Who wouldn't want that? I can't know. See, I don't know what to say. Someone give me a sentence like Jen I did how about this? I have never done anything to Jennifer Shaw. I have never done anything to Jennifer Shaw.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Jennifer Shaw. I don't have it. It's like part of her... There's something cat-like about her existence. She talks like a cat. She speaks like a cat would speak. If you ever think about what it would sound like like a cat. Like she speaks like a cat would speak. Like if you ever,
Starting point is 01:00:05 you ever think about what it would sound like if a cat came to life? That's I think what Meredith Marks is. It's also, there's like a, it's like there's something in her, and I say this with love. It's like,
Starting point is 01:00:15 there's something in her mouth. So it's like, it's like, I, I, I, she, she spoke L of my family.
Starting point is 01:00:23 And I, it's like a loose mouth but also again said with love you know she said what she said about Jack Barlow the SH's get a lot of emphasis what did she say do you stand for
Starting point is 01:00:39 do you stand against LGBTQ hate and what I need to know that you stand against LGBTQ hate it what? I need to know that you stand against LGBTQ hate. It's really something. Yeah. And I really feel like the more this show continues, I'm like, this is a good fucking cast
Starting point is 01:00:55 and you have to let it marinate because it's getting fucking good. But this all being said, please. Okay. Erica, talk about Erica, the most important cultural topic of the year okay i am scared to talk about erica yeah it's very scary yeah she has such rabid rabid is the bad way to describe people i don't know she has she doesn't have rabid fans she
Starting point is 01:01:20 doesn't no i i the army of gays has laid down their weapons and said, we surrender the law. I guess I just, well, I think there's a couple things going on. I'm going to give you a boring answer. But basically, I think what's going on is like, she can only say so much. And like, there's certain things she truly can't mention because of legal for legal reasons but also it does feel uh a lot of the stories feel weird as hell weird yes yeah and and yeah and the the day that the divorce came out felt like was it the day after the election day?
Starting point is 01:02:05 It was the election day. Which is calculated. I mean, everything about it is bizarre and feels calculated. I guess I'm just excited for the reunion because it is four parts, which is essentially four hours of the reunion, which for me is heaven. But the clip where they show her saying something
Starting point is 01:02:24 she shouldn't have said and catching herself I'm like see this is why it's rough it's so and I do think a lot of her like stilted talking is her being like what am I allowed to say and not allowed to say like I don't think it's all just her being like I don't want to tell this like but but it is I'm so excited for the reunion and yeah i mean not every franchise has had its best season and i'm obviously talking about new york has been like you know like so i feel like bad you know you never you can't you can't know in advance always like how the seasons are going to go and the fact that we've gotten so much from Beverly Hills. A long season. 20 episodes?
Starting point is 01:03:07 It'll end up being 24 episodes. Well, with the reunion, yeah, 24. Like it's the goddamn good wife. And can I say this too? Like the person that I've been kind of disappointed in in Beverly Hills this season, even though I generally love her.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Oh, I wonder if we're going to say the same person. Ready? One, two, three. Kyle. Yes. I didn't say I said K because I thought you were gonna say Crystal but I'm not disappointed in Crystal I'm not disappointed in Crystal
Starting point is 01:03:33 in speaking of impressions here's what I will say for Kyle she wins me over with her impressions I think her impressions are good I just feel like Kyle like I look I was not on board. I was not fully on board with Sutton when the season started. I had a lot of issues with Sutton
Starting point is 01:03:50 as anyone would. But like the way that she keeps like throwing Sutton under the bus and being like Sutton say what you're thinking and it's like and Kyle is not coming to Erica with any of the stuff that she's thinking and she's the way that she keeps doing that.
Starting point is 01:04:06 I'm like, Kyle, what is your problem? Yeah. Because Kyle agrees with Sutton and for like, and the big ways, you know, to to everyone's face. She is like their best friend. And then when they're all at a dinner together, I'm surprised that no one turns to Kyle and is like, you're acting mean. You're you're like two-faced because she's been very two-faced this season the thing that she just said in the recent episode where she was like they were talking about like christopher was like we don't sweep we don't
Starting point is 01:04:34 clean during you know during this time and and she's like sweep the and kyle's like sweep things under the rug like you sutton like why are you sweeping and it's like sutton has already been the only person to give any kind of feedback to Erica of like what they're really thinking. And you're going to like keep pushing. It's like, what is Kyle talking about? Yeah, it's not good. Well, Kyle is the protagonist
Starting point is 01:04:57 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I always say. And so I think that sometimes the show is hesitant to like give her a hard time because she is truly the only one there from the beginning. And I also think the show is like deeply about the Richard sisters in a way that will when it at whenever it does wrap up, like it will become clear. That's what the whole show is about. So I think that's what I think I think I think every like every except Potomac because that's kind of what the Giselle Karen thing is all about is who is really
Starting point is 01:05:30 the star of the show but there's a clear star of the show here and it is Kyle for better or worse I'm a Kyle fan until she does things like this and I root for her I think she's funny I love her family I love Mauriciouricio so fucking hot
Starting point is 01:05:48 he's such a i love that he's high all the time love that he's high all the time i just re-watched camille's wedding in hawaii and he was so stoned at dinner and he was and they were all just laughing at him and i'm like see this is good shit um it made me want to get stoned and then i did um hell yeah are you a big stoner you know i'm not but i um i have i i do have love edibles i have them once every five months i don't know i'm not a big stoner but i i don't mind it i don't mind getting stoned yeah then can't you tell by how cool i said it? How off the cuff. I also feel like we're sort of dancing around something, Bowen, don't you think?
Starting point is 01:06:32 Which is the fact that you were sitting on the floor in your bedroom. Okay. So this is, sorry to brag, this is my guest bedroom. Oh my God. When my brother and I started our podcast, How Did We Get Weird, Dougoug who's also your producer and and you know engineer he's our engineer really engineer uh said what's a room that's kind of um not super loud and he's big covered in glass etc and it's it is this guest room so i'm and and so i bought a desk to um to do the pot to put my computer on while i do the podcast and it turned out the desk was um very low so that's why i'm sitting in front of a bed on the floor i think it i think it's very
Starting point is 01:07:11 chic i think it's very chic thank you so much sort of japanese almost the height the seat height being a little low yeah it gets a little uncomfortable on the sides of my feet when i'm sitting cross-legged for this long but i figure it out and I have the time of my life. Thanks for saying feet. That actually gets more people to listen to the podcast whenever we talk feet. Oh, yes. Feet is a whole community. Oh, Bowen, I'm sure as soon as you got on SNL, there were people posting about your feet all the time.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Yeah, like I don't think I get a lot of feet people. I think you might not realize it because you don't go on foot fetish websites, but I was, I didn't think I did either. And then, and then, and then it all blew up. I won't, I haven't really looked at it myself, but I'd say you can, you can kind of skip that. I posted foot to main. It doesn't bother me. I posted foot to main on my Instagram and people really liked it. It doesn't bother me. I posted foot to main on my Instagram
Starting point is 01:08:05 and people really liked it. I didn't like it. Maybe I'll do that. Because Bowen actually has good feet. I'm sure. Bowen has like thickum's feet. You got those good feet. Oh my god. He's in trouble. You have like a wide foot.
Starting point is 01:08:21 I have a very like, I will say I have no arch is my only flaw. That's, I guess, what I mean. You don't really have arches. Wow. People don't like that. I like an arch. I mean, I think to each their own.
Starting point is 01:08:36 That's what I'm saying. Right, right, right. I think you got a good foot. Okay. Thank you. I'm sure you do. Thanks, thanks, thanks, guys. You know, one time during sex,
Starting point is 01:08:45 and then we don't have to talk about this, but I did put a toe in my mouth and immediately the guy was like, what? And I was like, okay, yeah, no, I didn't even want to do that. And then it was like, okay, cool. And then we just continued fornicating. But I did try to do the toe thing.
Starting point is 01:08:58 You tried. I gave it a shot. Here's my question. Yeah. To the group. Who is not right or wrong but like who like you wanted to try something yeah no you know what yeah he you know he he vocalized his discomfort and it was done and you were both right i think that he was just like not for me and i was
Starting point is 01:09:20 like you know what babe not sure either i was doing it just to try it i to try it. I mean, we don't have to actually get into this, but it's interesting to be like, well, at what point is it kink shaming and at what point is it like, I'm not comfortable doing that and I don't consent, you know? I don't know. Well, I'm the person to ask.
Starting point is 01:09:39 So I guess that's why we really wanted you on, Vanessa, is to talk about kink. Kink. As you can tell from my suddenly i see kink queen title of app no actually so i do want to ask um before we get into i don't think so honey in a bit like how did we get weird how did it come come about? Tell us all. Okay. So my brother and I are very close. We used to both live in New York and hang out all the time.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Now he lives with his wife in Massachusetts in the Berkshires. I live in LA, California. And so we really were like wanting a way to like kind of spend time together and hang out and also we love talking our podcast is based on like nostalgic uh we we talk a lot about you know being kids and and kind of nostalgic products and shows and stuff that kind of like for better or worse shaped us into the into the incredible humans that we are today and Really? Sort of a sister pod to us. Yes. In network and creative aim.
Starting point is 01:10:50 And in aim. And, like, we have guests on that similarly talk about what made them into such incredible, you know, pieces of art. Yeah. And, like, butah and i always would like and jonah who famously worked with bowen on the search party podcast yes so great to work with jonah i love him he loved working with you that was such a great podcast too that was it was it was lovely because it's a great show and vanessa was a guest and i was a guest um it was such a great
Starting point is 01:11:25 show and and anyways he and i often will like text each other about like do you remember like some random thing from growing up and it's we just like always like naturally we'll be like looking the stuff up all the time and have so much fun talking about it and so um so then then we decided to do this podcast that um kind of where we get to talk about this nostalgic stuff and research this nostalgic stuff and have it be um professional thing we do instead of just like a thing that takes up a lot of our time for no reason well it's it's the perfect it's the perfect frame for this like conversation that you guys regularly have yes and so like why not like that's that's the perfect seamless way to like
Starting point is 01:12:05 transition into a podcast is to like let's just have it be that it's taking me back to to like when you have your sibling because we do we all have only one sibling yeah one sibling yeah yeah so same so my sister is three years younger than me and i'm just like remembering like the stuff i'm not so i'm very seeing her very soon i haven't seen her in like over two years it's been like a really crazy thing because we were very very very close always and so I'm really excited to see her but in hearing you talk about that like it's reminding me of like the weird
Starting point is 01:12:34 shit we would do together when we were little and really only had each other to hang out with and play with but I remember I just said this the other day we were in the car like we had an astro van we went on like a long trip one time and I think my parents had like a literal tv put up on the shelf like so you're talking like a long trip and like they put a tv with like a vhs in there and they let us rent movies and i remember i had seen clueless in the um blockbuster and i just kept looking at alicia
Starting point is 01:13:03 silverstone and being like whatever that is i need to get that and rent that but I remember we watched it in the back of the Astro van me and my sister and watched the whole movie in silence and then it ended and I turned to her and I go I don't think I understood a lot of that but I loved it and she goes me too I want to watch it again right now and so we put it
Starting point is 01:13:20 back on and we just watched the whole thing like I don't think I picked up on a single joke but we were like truly like eight and five put it back on and we just watched the whole thing like i don't think i picked up on a single joke but we were like truly like eight and five yeah watching this movie that was like not for us but it's so visually all you need all you need is as if and like as an eight-year-old at any age you get that that is like so fun and iconic that you're like and she's such a star i mean she's just so watchable and fun but anyway i was i was wondering like bowen do you have any of that like things with yang when you were little oh my god yeah probably tons
Starting point is 01:13:50 so many i maybe it's just like sunday foggy brain that like things don't come up come to mind but like i mean i always talk about how she like was she was the person to like channel in like all this stuff that like i wouldn't have had access to like mary-kate and ashley like if i didn't have a sibling older or she's older she's older two years older if like if she wasn't there like i would not have like watched i would not have watched clueless i would not have watched like all the 90s rom-coms like she was the way and like we didn't have cable so she was the one to like bring in all this stuff um she told me what snl was when we moved to the u.s and i was like like she like she was the person to like sort of introduce me to a lot um so there's like there's
Starting point is 01:14:32 so many things that we would watch together i had a similar thing where like because jonah is a couple years older than me he was watching mtv a lot and so like i sort of started like watching all these like music videos and the stuff that like I think is like a little it's just like most like kids two years older than me would know, you know. And so like, yeah, I got introduced to all of that stuff. And we watched so much MTV that my parents threatened to cancel it like at one point. And but I don't even think you could do that. Like you couldn't like call the cable company and be like, just don't play this one channel. But we like believed them.
Starting point is 01:15:07 But we were like, well, I hope they don't. You know, like we're not going to stop watching it. The threat was there. I wasn't allowed to watch it because my mom would always see me watching it. It would always be like a random moment where there was like sex or something on. Yeah. And so she she would not allow me to watch MTV. I wasn't allowed.
Starting point is 01:15:23 I had to watch VH1, which she didn't understand, was like informing me in a different way. The same. It was more about sensuality than sexuality. Yeah. Adult contemporary. Right. So instead of watching Britney Spears ass up in the sky,
Starting point is 01:15:38 I was watching Shania Twain wrapped in a blanket on the beach with nothing under it and looking in a black and white and sort of being of like being on the beach and i was like oh this is sensuality to me as a child i'm being informed this way now i had a couple friends and i were just watching um a very cool friday night we were just watching the videos for unbreak my heart by tony braxton and um one of the best in the shower. And yeah, and what's the song? The Celine Dion, where they're both, in both cases, the man who's a model gets in a motorcycle accident.
Starting point is 01:16:14 It's all coming back to me now. It's all coming back to me now when she's running through a castle. Yeah, she runs through the castle. She sort of, there's a scene where the camera's going around her and she's just like turning and turning and turning. The girls were doing a lot of turning at the time like turning turning was huge like sort of turning around and like spinning around because when you turn when you if you
Starting point is 01:16:34 turn so much you'll have spun you know what i mean so that's actually roller coaster number 49 if you turn so much, you'll have fun. That was thrilling. I was an older child, though, so I was the one that was, like, orbiting a lot of it. I think that's what you guys were like. That's sort of like, when you have an older sibling, they are, like, the arbiter of taste
Starting point is 01:16:58 and culture in the household. Yeah, absolutely. So you were orbiting Clueless, which is incredible. Yeah, and I don't know when you guys were like playing with your sibling as a kid did being the younger child did you ever win things no i never won i watched my brother play oh yeah i watched my brother play like sonic the hedgehog for like hours and he'd be like your turn's coming up soon and then it would just be me watching him for hours it's so abusive i can't believe it is but it's like i wouldn't have it any other way you
Starting point is 01:17:28 know like i just like get to spend time with him and i'm like okay i guess i'll watch you play another round even though it's technically my turn phone yang always won yang always won and then and then so then that drove me to like play computer games instead i was like well i don't want to do this and i'm just gonna play like Starcraft or whatever on the computer. So yeah, that was, oh wow. This is,
Starting point is 01:17:48 this is, this is our common thread is that we each have one Sib of a different gender. This fall on Bravo. It's time to turn up. Think you've seen it all? I don't think you've been a good friend to me lately. We're friends like that. Who needs

Starting point is 01:20:26 On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian.
Starting point is 01:20:47 Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What do you say, Matt? Do you think it's time? I think it might be time for I Don't Think So, Honey, the big segment of Las Cladrices where we take one minute to rail against something in culture that's absolutely needing a railing.
Starting point is 01:21:43 I love that. Anyway, everyone's prepared? I'm prepared. Do you want to start, Matt? Matt traditionally starts. Love it. This is Matt Rogers I don't think so many times. Starts now. I don't think so, honey. Meredith Marks and her husband Seth at a Thai Sunderland
Starting point is 01:21:58 party. What? Bowen Yang, I can't believe you didn't know about this. Let me just make it clear. I think that everyone should go to all Thai Sunderland parties. I'm going to one later today. Love to hear it. And blessings, kisses to everyone at Thai Tea. But I just want to say that when I saw Meredith Marks and her straight husband, Seth,
Starting point is 01:22:17 photographed, videoed at this party, I had to laugh. And I thought, what are they doing there? And I thought to myself, it's just like a horde, an army of gay men and Meredith Marks and Seth. And I got firsthand accounts of what their behavior was. It was very, we're at this party. And I thought, is she reaching out to the twink community? Because she said that thing about-
Starting point is 01:22:39 15 seconds. Where he was called a twink. Does she think that, is she nervous that she thinks she uses twink as like a slur and she thinks it's a bad thing and she wants to reach out to the twink community five seconds so i guess hun but i can't believe meredith marks is at a thai thunderlin event i don't think so honey but i guess i do i anyway everyone should go to thai anyway and that's one minute i mean that's she's going she knows where to go if she wants to reach out to the twinks and
Starting point is 01:23:02 that is the thai thunderlin parties twinks of every shape size color okay she was at a party where gay guys had their shirts off and were like doing party drugs and seth must have just stood there been like i got i gotta be cool with this oh that's wild that's i mean it has to be a brooks thing right? I think it is. I think it's like she, I do think she's been slightly called out for like implying that Twink is a slur. Which I, it's not necessarily a slur. No, it is not. First of all, also, I played a character named Twink on Q-Force,
Starting point is 01:23:39 which also stars Allie Liebergot, by the way. And everyone was like, I can't believe there's a character named Twink. Slur alert. I'm like, it's not. I was like, I can't believe there's a character named Twink. Slur alert. I'm like, it's not. I was like, some people out there really aren't Twinks. And stop saying this. No, but there it is.
Starting point is 01:23:52 It's the femphobia. Like, that is like, you're telling on yourself anyway. There it is. It's the femphobia. And maybe Meredith has to sort of unlearn that too. Maybe Meredith sees Twink as a slur because she has these entrenched values around
Starting point is 01:24:08 masculinity and she's exploring that and then she wants to go to a Thai Sunderland party to really immerse herself. I support her journey. I do too and what I think happened is I think she saw the episode, maybe got some flack online and she sat down with her whole team and said
Starting point is 01:24:24 how do we fix this? How do we fix this? And they said, you need to go. She's like, you need to go be amongst the community and learn. And she said, I'm reaching out to the gay community, the LGBTQ plus. And she's like, I'm going to be around them and sort of see them and be with them and know that I stand here alongside them. And I am. The thing is, it's my I don't think so, honey, but it's more like I can't believe this, honey.
Starting point is 01:24:54 No, sure. I can't believe this honey no sure I can't believe this honey when I went to Ty's party I saw Linux I saw Aquaria I saw all the usual people and it was a really it was it was that three3 bill which is an incredible space I really thought Aquaria changed the game on Drag Race when it comes to runway presentation I feel as though there's never been a queen to stomp the runway
Starting point is 01:25:20 in that way and to win a comedy challenge she won Snatch Game. Maybe we all found it. Did we all find it? We all found it. Well, I don't mean to, I'm not the person
Starting point is 01:25:31 to say that I found it. We all found it. We did. You did. I put on a huge sleeve. Is it too, I don't want to make it
Starting point is 01:25:39 vocal fry because I don't think that's what Meredith does. You're doing more than vocal fry. I want you to know. Oh, thank you so so much there's a drag to it i plan on a huge slave yeah she will not speak l of my family family i'm not doing you guys are doing it better than me no no no but by the way it's another time in this podcast it's happened many times that I've put myself down in a way that it,
Starting point is 01:26:06 that has forced you to be like, no, you know, the same. I do the same. It's true. We all do it. All three of us.
Starting point is 01:26:13 We all do it. You're not special. You're not fucking special. What do you think? Like now we're going to stop everything here and be like, no, no, no,
Starting point is 01:26:22 you did it. And we do it and work on it thank you by the time i get to set this better be fixed because i'm not fucking sitting there with you in those those chairs making me pulling me pulling me up and hearing you be like no i'm like no i'm just gonna turn to you and be like fix this vanessa you need there needs to be number one on the call sheet vibes from you starting now thank you you. In all areas of your life. And I'm going to respond to you hard as like a number six and be like, shut up.
Starting point is 01:26:51 I love that. Number six is sort of where I live. I was number six on Fire Island too. Number six is very much my number. You know what I mean? Love it. Are you number six? Is that what you were in the pilot?
Starting point is 01:27:01 I think I was number six. Yeah. Six is great alright so guess what it's time for Bowen Yang's I Don't Think So Honey this is one of the most amazing moments of the week I can't wait I love this moment
Starting point is 01:27:14 alright so I have the stopwatch in my hand and Bowen I'm ready to say Bowen Yang this is your I Don't Think So Honey and your time starts now. I Don't Think So Honey bits of poo that cling to the toilet. Always. You know, it always, it's upsetting, whether it's mine or someone else's. I don't want to see it.
Starting point is 01:27:33 And then, and then what do I do? I play a little game where if I'm peeing, I try to piss it off. And then I get really frustrated if my stream isn't strong enough to, know kind of you know dislodge the poo from the porcelain yeah i want i was almost gonna say porous but then i wanted to be like but then i had to be like it's i'm gonna have to just elongate it and say porcelain and and explain that it was an abbreviation for porcelain anyway i think it works you know i need to go to the bathroom and feel safe i can't be surprised by what i see 15 seconds i know that no one goes to the bathroom and feels this way but i feel like we need to start actually really treating bathrooms as a sacred space in anywhere at work at school at airports every
Starting point is 01:28:19 bathroom needs to have vetiver soap by byredo in all of the sinks like mine does and that's one minute and I think the thesis of this is Beredo at all public restaurants you know I have a song about this courtesy flush you have to courtesy flush
Starting point is 01:28:40 if you wanna be my husband take a deep No, take a good look Before you leave the toilet Because If you wanna be with me, baby And someday adopt a kid
Starting point is 01:28:57 You need to courtesy flush All your peaches You need to courtesy flush all your peaches you need to flush two times so much water waste though but also it's not even that it's
Starting point is 01:29:16 sometimes I'm sorry this is so gross I poo with such force that it clings and there's no way that all the flushes in the world starring Michelle Williams will not be able to get that off. She would do that at that shot in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 01:29:33 And I just want to say that yes, it's true. Bowen Yang, oftentimes when I go to the bathroom after you, there will be that. And I'll sort of say, well, you know, he poos forcefully. Because you're one of the most powerful assholes
Starting point is 01:29:46 in the entertainment industry. I really do. No lie, I do. Yeah. I have a powerful asshole. His sphincter has, it's like, I mean, my favorite thing
Starting point is 01:29:57 that's ever been said about a Bowen Yang fart is when Doug Wydick said it was like an angry Egyptian king. Yeah. A mummy emerging from... Like a pharaoh screaming to the gods in anguish. I'm sorry to make this a fecal conversation, but...
Starting point is 01:30:15 No, it's important. It's an important conversation, actually. This podcast has tackled kink, fecal matter, and it's received critical acclaim. The podcast has received critical acclaim. Critical acclaim. Yeah. Critical acclaim.
Starting point is 01:30:29 So, Vanessa, unless you have a lot to say about poop hanging onto the toilet, we can move on to your I Don't Think So Honey. I think I'm ready. Okay. All right, great. This is Vanessa Bayers' I Don't Think So Honey. Her time starts now. I Don't Think So Honey goalie commercials time starts now. I Don't Think So, Honey goalie commercials.
Starting point is 01:30:46 Now, what the hell are we doing? First of all, you're going to release a goalie commercial that has people in an office. It's very underproduced. It looks very low budget. I don't blame the actors in it. It's what they were given. And honestly, they're barely given anything. And there's a lot of big swings that these actors are taking.
Starting point is 01:31:06 They're very poorly edited. And it's the kind of commercial that like I see it and I have to change the channel. Now, cut to they release a goalie commercial with J-Lo. I mean, obviously, they paid her so much money to do a goalie commercial. So which is it, goalie? Are you a low budget company that will barely pay these probably non-sag-after actors to improvise and not get any of the respect that is due to them? Probably barely pay them. Or are you going to pay J-Lo millions and millions of dollars?
Starting point is 01:31:41 Who am I buying? What am I buying? Am I buying a high-end product with a huge promotional uh queen i'm sorry he's queen again promoting it or are you gonna barely pay these these talented non-union actors probably sorry if they are union to either way to promote a project what is goalie and and where do you stand on the uh where do you stand and that's one minute and 22 seconds i'm sorry i know there's nothing to be applauded for that was queendom queen that was queendom is queendom can i ask what is i don't think i've seen these commercials what is goalie okay i have to reveal i also don't know what that is. Okay. Go.
Starting point is 01:32:25 Okay. I need you guys to watch. I'm going to send you links to both of these commercials. Goalie is a vitamin gummy that has G-O-L-I. L-I. That has, um, that has,
Starting point is 01:32:35 uh, it's, it's, it has apple cider vinegar in it and it's supposed to control cravings and help you like lose weight. Okay. So they released this commercial months ago where it's like people in an office and it's like a guy getting ready for work a woman running on a treadmill a guy at the office and they're like hey do you want some donuts and he's like no i've got
Starting point is 01:32:54 goalie and you're like this is the most low budget commercial i've ever seen and i don't and it makes me like uncomfortable for these actors like i don't feel like they were taken care of on set i by the way i truly if they were i don't mean to start a bad rumor all i'm saying is it seems like they really cut corners yeah on this initial goalie commercial come to see a few months later they have j-lo in a goalie commercial and she's doing a full comedy bit and you're like what is happening like is this like if they had stuck to the low budget commercial with the cast of people that you feel like deserve better than this fine then that's who they are but then to come out and have a j-lo commercial i feel like if i was one of the actors in the initial commercial i'd be like where was all that
Starting point is 01:33:41 money like what what were you paying me when you had all of this J-Lo money? Yeah, because J-Lo wasn't doing it for $125. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I really need you guys to see both of these commercials. I'm someone who gets very fixated on commercials. And I really, I wonder if it's because I used to audition for commercials so much in Chicago. Or if it's because I just grew up like very into commercials. And kind of like
Starting point is 01:34:05 improvising commercials for my best friend Gwen anyways the point is I really it really is the most confusing thing because it's the type of you know like those commercials where it's like um where it's like a woman in a grocery store and and they're like um and she's like uh god I can't think of the name but it's like she's talking about a product and it's so low budget on purpose where it's like, she's like, something time. And she's like, this product is really great. And you're like, okay, they spent $0 on this commercial. Fine. That's kind of the vibe of this initial goalie commercial.
Starting point is 01:34:39 But then they swung so hard the other direction. But then they come out with a commercial with J-Lo in it. A scripted comedic tour de force from J-Lo. Did they spend all of their money on that? Or are they doing really well? The low budget commercial made them so much money that now they're able to pay J-Lo to do a commercial. I've never seen the same product have two commercials. Now, this is no burn to j-lo the the j-lo
Starting point is 01:35:07 commercial is not like a huge does not seem like the commercial itself cost a lot of money right but having j-lo i'm sure they paid her millions and millions of dollars to be in it to be promoting this product and you're sure it was her and not some like j-lo drag queen guys not only am i sure it's her i'm a little surprised by what she's she's doing like a cop like she's basically like talking about like it gives me energy and then she's like j-lo energy energy and you're like she's doing a full it's it's so not yikes not yikes it's just like who is in charge who is how what what is their business model who who is their demo i i'm so by the way i'll work in an ad agency i don't think so honey yeah perfect wow i am so befuddled by this we are upset i can tell low budge commercial to j-lo commercial again the production quality of both commercials is not high like neither has like a huge however just
Starting point is 01:36:16 the casting it's like what is happening you're thinking of the little guy and that's good and you're thinking of those. Because guess what? There was a time you were non-union. A hundred percent. Oh my God. We all were non-union. Yes. And we want the little guy getting paid more. Not J-Lo with her millions.
Starting point is 01:36:35 Paid nothing. And if any of those times that I was non-union and I got paid nothing, I was so happy to do it. But had the same product that I was advertising weeks later come out with a commercial starring J-Lo, I would have said, hey, you guys could have thrown in an extra thousand dollars for me. 100 percent. 100 percent. 100 percent. I think that you've given us a lot to think about and a lot for everyone out there listening to think about about who they support. This is about ethical consumption and i want to say i i always feel like when i
Starting point is 01:37:07 listen to your podcast i'm like oh there's so much they know everything i don't know anything the fact that i found something that you don't know actually shows what does it show it's like it's how wrong i am no it's like i'm paying attention to the wrong things i think no that's not true i am i'm i'm getting worked up over like things that are sort of like um this is important in a lot of ways i'm sort of like perspective hon i'm like i'm your midwestern aunt and i know it but it's also like i just i just really do need you guys no you're a midwestern cousin okay that we look up to older cousin who yeah we need to know about the go the go go go go go go go go go go go go go now look is goalie do i feel bad if goalie was like wow maybe we should sponsor some of these um we should sponsor some of these big money players podcasts.
Starting point is 01:38:05 And then now they're going to listen to this and they're going to go, no, thank you. But it's like, well, you already spent all your money on J-Lo. You couldn't do it anyway. Also, I have to tell you, from not knowing about it before, I do want to try them because I love apple cider vinegar. I really think it works. Well, it is supposed to be. I have pretty bad acid reflux. Apple cider vinegar is supposed to be very good for acid reflux.
Starting point is 01:38:26 You know, I rewatched the commercials in preparation for this podcast and i did think i should try this product yeah oh no there's no there's i want and that's another so the readers have to do two things vote on what's the most embarrassing song and go out and buy goalie the vitamins uh that will have apple cider vinegar in them gummies yes basically. And basically, I want you to tag us, at LostCultureEastDust, on Instagram and Twitter and tell us your opinion on Goalie. Yes. And I will try it too. Great.
Starting point is 01:38:54 And so we'll all get back together later. When you come back to promote, I love this for you, because you're invited back. There's an open door. I would like to have a big discussion on Goalie. Yeah, we'll all have a big discussion on goalie yeah we'll all have tried goalie by then and we'll see what we think but also knowing that i still i'm gonna hold on to a little bit of this um resentment about the way that they've um the way that they've put
Starting point is 01:39:17 out their campaign campaign yeah their campaigns and never lose resentment that's actually important yeah never lose resentment i think we we really did cover so much. We covered so... Goalie, kink, poop, housewives. Pump up songs. Pump up songs. Splash dance. I mean, really.
Starting point is 01:39:35 Sibling. Like SNL. Like how Vanessa is iconic in the new show. The new show. The podcast has received critical acclaim for these reasons. Because it's able to...
