On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida.

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. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story on the iHeartRadio app,

The pre-sale code.
It's Frosty.
That's the sound of a cold wind.
All right, here's the podcast.
Look, Matt.
Where?
Oh, I see.
Wow.
Bowen, look over there.
Wow, is that culture?
Yes.
Oh, my goodness.
Wow.
Las Culturistas. Las Culturistas.
Now, how do we say it?
Ding dong, Las Culturistas.
Jumft.
Calling, but what is it in German?
Guten, what?
Guten.
Ding dong, Las Culturistas.
Guten.
Wow. Okay.
We were going to come out and greet you and say,
God, we would have been like,
but then that would have...
Wait, but then we were told by Peaches,
who'll be out here in just a bit.
Give it up for Peaches.
That like, bitch is not as casual here.
Right?
It's not?
It's not.
We're getting some head shakes.
Well, that's a shame.
So if we had come out here and said,
Danke schlampen,
people would have stormed out.
Would have left.
They would have left.
But that's so, you know,
we're learning some really key German phrases like,
Pumpkin spice ist wieder da.
Pumpkin spice ist wieder da. Pumpkin spice is here again!
See, I forgot it immediately.
Bowen said to me, he's like, it's important that we say one thing.
Pumpkin spice is here again!
Because we were in today, say it with me, Starbucks.
And we did see the announcement that pumpkin spice
is in fact vida da
and it is
but then you didn't like your pumpkin spice drink
well you know what we wanted a pumpkin
cream cold brew we were like thank god
like a European establishment
that serves ice
major
but then they were out of the pumpkin cream
and so then they put the pumpkin syrup.
We have a drink for Matt.
Oh, hello.
And...
Danke.
Danke, Schlompe.
Hey, Matt.
Danke, Schlompen.
Or Schlompo.
Schlompe.
Schlompe.
Schlompe.
And then Schlompen is plural.
Schlompen would be all of you bitches.
Are we offending anyone by calling you a schlumpa?
No.
Okay, thank you.
Anyway, Starbucks sort of did Bowen dirty.
That's okay.
I mean, that's what I get for going to Starbucks in Berlin.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but last night, where did we go?
Berghain.
No.
We're going to get into the Berghain of it all.
But we went to McDonald's. We're going to get into the Berghain of it all. But we went to McDonald's.
We did.
Because Bo and Yang says,
he says this every single time we travel.
He says,
it's one of my favorite things to do internationally
is go to the different McDonald's.
Am I alone?
Am I alone?
No.
So do you want to review?
Yeah.
God, Germans love their curry sauce.
Yes.
And the curry worst and all of it.
I love it.
I embrace it.
I embrace all curry culture.
What else?
I mean, they did not have buffalo sauce.
Who here is, what do they call it, an explant?
Expat.
Expat.
An explant.
Yes.
Okay, so ex-plants.
Ex-pats, are y'all missing buffalo sauce bad?
I'm saying.
This girl and me are locking eyes.
Buffalo pizza!
Who doesn't even, who's never even tasted the stuff?
You're kidding.
Y'all, You're missing out
The dream scenario
Of this would be
We bring out like
Plates of buffalo sauce
Oh my god
We would love to
Oprah you guys
With buffalo sauce
You don't know
What you're missing
Now
Lots going on
In Berlin this weekend
There was a marathon
There was a marathon
Did anybody run?
Oh my god!
Congratulations! Give it up for these people!
We stand up for them!
Stand up!
Congratulations!
Yes, you do!
Oh my god, you too? You did?
Stand up!
You just ran 26 miles.
You know what's funny?
If you ran the marathon today, Stand up. You can stand. You just ran 26 miles. You know what's funny? It's where like,
we're like,
if you ran the marathon today,
stand up.
They're like,
motherfucker,
we've been running all day.
It's a miracle that we're even here
and not wrapped in tinfoil.
Unbelievable.
Okay, so who did the best?
You did?
You did?
Three hours, 24 minutes.
That's incredible. That's incredible.
That's amazing.
No, who doesn't?
Wait, who what?
Two hours, 53 minutes.
Two hours, 53 minutes?
Bye, bitch.
No, that's amazing.
Wow, what do you think?
Do you understand?
That's so good.
I understand that's so good.
I understand that's so good.
What would you clock in at, you think?
X Runner. Xner. X-Runner. X-Runner.
Back in the day, I used to do
middle distance to... I was more
of a miler. Am I just saying
my mile time? I ran a
436 mile back
in the day. That's really good. But never
could run more than like six miles.
You know what I mean? To do 26.2
miles, stand
up again.
Stand up again.
Stand up, all of you.
Yes, you, well, yeah!
Very good.
Now, did
any of you like sort of
do it like it wasn't to get the
good time? Why are you still standing?
I don't know. I missed my window
and now it's weird.
And now you can't sit.
And now I have to stay in this.
Did any of you kind of do it
because you wanted it to be fun. You didn't care about the time.
No, you all cared about the time very much.
It's Germany.
Very serious.
It's very serious.
You know what we're going to say?
And we might sound very stupid and American for this.
Lot of rules here.
Lot of rules.
The crossing of the street.
The crossing of the streets.
The, you know, today we went to a museum
and Matt walked a little too close to the paintings.
And the alarm went off,
and we got a little tongue lashing.
The alarm went off. And I said, little tongue lashing. The alarm went off.
And I said, come on.
I wasn't trying to touch the painting.
I barely want to look at it.
This is what Matt basically wanted to say to this man,
like the security guard who came over.
He wanted to be like, pizza, pizza.
Schlappenbieter.
I did want to say that.
You should.
But then there was beautiful paintings on the lower level.
Beautiful paintings.
What was the name of the museum we went to?
The Neue Nationalgalerie?
The new National Gallery?
Is that Frank Gehry?
Is that Frank Gehry?
No, we don't know.
Are you guys wooing because you fucking love that museum
or because you just know it?
Because they know it. Because they know it.
And they love it.
The light's coming up.
Amazing.
It was nice.
It was great.
Current events are happening as we speak.
That's right.
Did you guys hear we have a Super Bowl performer?
Usher.
Usher.
Wait, that was not a positive reaction.
So this is an amazing sort of thing
that you can't get on the internet
because we need to do this in a live setting.
It's a mixed response, I think, in the real world.
You can't get this on the internet.
You really can't.
Because, and this is, we were in the car.
Yeah.
It was the two of us and our friend.
And you said, we have a new sequel before mine.
I said, and they both turned to me.
They were so hopeful. Yeah. And I said, we have a new sequel before mine. And they both turned to me, they were so hopeful.
And I said,
it is Usher.
And then Bowen Yang,
I'm sorry, I'm going to do this to you, hon.
That's okay.
He goes, ugh.
And I said, what?
Because I was expecting a woman's name.
And...
But I forget that these people,
they like to, you know,
to them, gender's a binary,
and they switch every year.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly.
And so that's why.
It's like we couldn't have Rihanna
and then, let's say, Taylor Swift.
Right, right.
We gotta have Usher.
Yeah.
I'm seeing Usher in Las Vegas.
Did I tell you this? That's amazing. So're gotta have Usher. Yeah. I'm seeing Usher in Las Vegas. Did I tell you this?
That's amazing.
So our friend, our, our...
It is.
That wasn't a joke.
I don't know.
That's on them.
That's on me.
I heard it's the horniest,
sluttiest show you could see.
I mean, he has to compete with Magic Mike, you know?
Yeah.
Like, he's gotta, like, throw sex out there into your face.
I don't think it's uncouth or untoward of me to say this,
because it's actually in legal documents.
I think Usher might be one of the most famous people with herpes.
It's true.
What about, like, George Washington?
We could never be sure if he had herpes.
Because they couldn't test for it at the time.
You're right.
And he's passed.
He's passed.
The expats are like, fuck yeah, we know this.
I didn't,
wasn't this a storyline on girls though
that like men can't really test for herpes?
They can't test for HPV.
Which also is not true
because I have HPV.
And how do you know?
From a test.
My PCP, primary care physician,
said you have HPV.
And that's a lot of stick...
What was that?
Not actually in my cock, in my asshole.
But thanks for dragging that out of me.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I have rectal HPV, it's true.
Can it travel?
Oh yeah.
I mean, I would love love for I think I can speak
on behalf of us both
We would love
for one of you guys
to fuck us tonight
No
Only if you're
There's some clapping
happening in the front row
We got it
Why are you so shy?
I don't know I'm in my prude are you so shy? I don't know.
I'm in my prude era.
No, you're not.
I am. You're such a bitch.
You're such a schlomp-bo.
Schlomp-bo or schlomp-bo?
What did you say?
Title of ep.
Schlomp-bo.
That's good.
Wait, can we say we both hooked up in London?
They love it.
But we had different experiences.
Say yours.
Well, mine, yeah, because mine's a bit of a bummer,
and so I'll say mine first, and then we'll end on a higher note
because I think Matt had fun.
But I...
Whatever, it's weird.
This guy was so hot.
Can I say, what was the club we were at?
The Glory in London. We were at the Glory
in London. Any of you gays?
Dalston gays in the audience?
Yeah, okay. So we were at the Glory
in London, and this guy, he was
really hot. He had a mustache,
big, broad shoulders,
and Bowen Yang
was talking to him with his arm draped over his shoulder like this.
Get up.
I'll show you.
So this, I'm Bowen and you're the trade.
Yeah.
It's my move.
I have a limp wrist.
And it was lovely.
And then I realized he was the one who kind of pointed it out.
He was like, I'm sorry I keep asking you questions about your career.
He kept being like, what's it like to work at Saturday Night Live?
Or he was like, you know, what was Fire Island like to shoot?
Wasn't it like, you know, all these things.
And what was it like to shoot?
This is a Q&A.
Q&A.
It was amazing. He was, he,
and it's not an issue until like,
he is acknowledging
that he is kind of,
he is making it feel
like an interview.
Right.
And I don't know.
There's nothing wrong with it.
I was just like,
I was a little like worn out
and I was like,
oh,
I'm not really horny
necessarily anymore.
I was for you.
Oh, thank you.
Because I wasn't talking to the guy.
You know what, though?
There was a moment where my sister and I sort of
met at the bar. And he said, what do you think?
And that's my impression of Bowen.
He's like, let's go.
And I said, I think we should stay
and have fun. And I looked at him
in his eyes and I was like, if you don't
fuck this man.
This is the thing though.
This is the moral
of Fire Island the movie
is that you cannot force
your friends to fuck people
if they don't want to.
You know what I'm saying? If it hurts them emotionally
and I would have been hurt emotionally
because he would have been like
balls deep inside me
asking about Miami nomination or something.
You know what I mean?
Oh, and that wasn't me.
No, that wasn't me, Brad.
Yes, it was.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That was just the first thing that came to mind.
Not this year, though.
Not this year.
Hey, that's okay.
You know?
You got bumped by... Jury duty? Yeah. Yeah, basically. James this year. Hey, that's okay. You got bumped by
Jury Duty?
Yeah, James Marsden.
Did you guys get Jury Duty here?
Yeah, great.
Make some noise if you got a VPN
at home. Yeah, who's got a VPN?
Who's popping the
fuck off with their VPN? I love
every time we talk to you guys and the house
lights come up. Can we just say,
because I have a deep, dark question,
because the lights came up
and I see a lot of excited people
and I see some people that are like...
Who thought they were coming
to like a general comedy show,
didn't know what the fuck it was?
None of you.
So a lot of you are just kind of disappointed.
Yeah, that's okay.
So speaking of Berghain,
we sort of want to throw this to the crowd.
And keep the lights up.
I like this vibe.
Yeah, I like this vibe.
Should we go?
Okay, see, we're getting a mix.
Who thinks we should definitely go?
Okay, so can you come up here? Yeah, okay, yeah. getting a mix. Who thinks we should definitely go?
Okay, so can you come up here?
Yeah, okay, yeah, give it up.
We have an amazing volunteer
coming up. Here, um, is there
a staircase here? You're dressed
for Berghain. Is there a way for you to get
up here?
No, you're scared of this? Okay, okay, okay.
So here, take the microphone here.
And then we'll talk to you from...
What's so great about it?
Yeah, it's on.
It's on.
We have people that do that.
Sorry, I'm not used to this.
Now that Bowen has two Emmy nominations,
we get the mics turned on.
What's so great about Burgheim?
And what's your name?
I'm Christy.
Christy.
Hi.
Hi, Pat.
I am.
I'm from New York.
I know that I might be biased,
but I do think it's like the best club in the world.
That is its claim to fame.
Yeah, like the hype is there for a reason.
So you may as well try.
If you don't get in, it's not the end of the world.
There's a million other clubs.
But like, I don't know.
You're here.
Why not?
You think we should just go,
why not?
It's the best club in the world.
Like, okay, so it's kind of everything.
It's like the crowd is amazing.
The music is amazing.
It's thumping techno in the main room.
And then the upstairs bar is like a house, more like a house.
It's called Panorama Bar.
Oh, yeah, Panorama Bar.
You can sort of switch, like pick your vibe and like kind of move around.
The music is like
best in class and the sound system is amazing and you can have a normal conversation but you can
also hear the music it's like this whole thing in berlin but it's the best there really yeah i guess
that's what i don't like about club culture is you can't sort of like connect you totally can
with the people there that's beautiful and we have a friend who said that one time
he went with the group
and one of the girls
brought the card game set.
Do we know what set is?
So it's like a matching game
and it's whatever.
It's very silly.
And then out of nowhere,
this girl starts to play set
on the floor of Berkeley.
Yeah, you could do.
One time.
And then all these like
cool chicass Berliners
were gathering around me.
What are they playing?
And meanwhile, in the background,
there's the best club music in the world,
but not loud enough so that you can't play set.
No, no, it is really loud,
but they have it perfectly engineered
so that you can actually still connect with people.
I think that's one of the best things about it.
You've made connections there?
Yeah.
Are you with?
Christy from New York.
Christy from New York.
I've been there a lot of times.
I live down the street.
But I do think if you're in Berlin, you may as well.
But I will say they stopped letting people in four hours before the last DJ,
which is probably around midnight.
So if you do go tonight, you got to go like,
I would go like after this.
Guys, the show's over.
Yeah, we got to go.
Wait a minute.
You live down the street?
Yeah.
You live in the Mercedes-Benz Arena?
No, no, I live the other way,
towards Simone D'Auxerre.
Oh, I see, I see, I see.
Can I ask, is the Mercedes-Benz Arena
like sort of that girl here?
Yeah, like I saw-
So Taylor's going to perform there when she comes?
She would never come to Berlin.
She would never come to Berlin?
No, it's too small.
The Mercedes-Benz is only like, I think, 17,000.
We saw Beyonce in Hamburg because she didn't come to Berlin
because our biggest stadium isn't big enough.
What?
I don't know how to explain it,
but Hamburg has this giant football stadium.
So a lot of the big people go there.
So Berlin, who's like the biggest artist that comes to Berlin?
Like Pink?
No, no, no.
Because we were walking by.
Because in order to get to the Starbucks here, you know,
you have to walk past the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
So everyone knows in order to get to the Starbucks,
you have to walk past Mercedes-Benz.
And I said to Bo and I'm like, this is like pink.
Yeah, so I saw last week Fred again.
Fred again!
I love Fred again.
Love Fred again.
Yeah, he played last Tuesday at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
So pink is going to Hamburg.
No, no, she's too big.
Like, that would be too big.
Right.
Yeah, so I also saw
like Lizzo
and SZA at the Benzerino. Where do they
go? The Benzerino. Oh, work.
SZA at Benzerino makes sense.
SZA and Fred again play the same
side. I know, it's kind of weird, but Fred
again's huge here. Fred again's huge here.
People love Fred again. Y'all love to go like
I'm right here.
Y'all love to go like, I'm right here. Y'all love to go,
we lost dancing.
He made everybody sing that at the end.
I was like, I gotta go.
But it was fun.
Okay.
Yeah, but yeah, I would say, yeah,
Berkheim, like,
and again, if you don't get into
South Island of the World,
there are a million other clubs,
but if you're here, you may as well.
Okay.
Okay, so that's amazing.
Like low risk, high reward.
That's how I always feel about it.
But again, I live down the street.
So if I don't get in, I'm like, all right, see you next week.
We live in the United States.
So it's high risk.
Probably.
But no, I mean, it depends on where you're staying.
But if you're, you know, it's like up here.
We're staying at the Hampton Inn.
That's near it.
Which is near it.
It's on the East Side Gallery, no?
It's East Side Gallery. Yeah. You could walk there. Come on. That's near it. Which is near it. It's on the East Side Gallery, no? It's East Side Gallery.
You could walk there. Come on, you gotta go.
I guess I didn't know it was so close.
It's very close. It's on our side of
the wall, you know?
So...
It's on
our side of the wall.
I was like, I don't know if they know.
Are you going tonight?
Will we see you there?
No, I actually went out really hard last night.
You went really hard last night?
Thank you for coming.
I woke up at 5.30.
Yeah, well, there's some people here who run the marathon, so.
Yeah.
But, you know, there's multiple types of marathon.
Yeah.
No, I'm totally joking.
Did you make any connections last night?
I did not.
The crowd was like a little too basic,
but it was really fun.
Look around.
Do you want to make connections here tonight?
There's some hot fucking people.
I know. I was waiting for my two friends back there,
and I was like, wow, yeah, everyone's good looking.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's Berlin.
All right, good to know.
Everyone give it up for Christy, give it up for Christy.
Give it up for Christy.
Give it up for Christy.
Okay, one last sort of like addendum
to the Berghain conversation we want to do
is we want to play a game with our wonderful DJ,
DJ Alias Error.
Give it up.
Give it up for DJ Alias Error.
Can I say now I like being down here.
Okay, you like being down here. I'll stay up. We're gonna
give levels. I'm ready. Yeah. Okay, so
we're gonna play a little game where just off
of, not off wardrobe, off vibes
alone, would we
get into Berghain if you were working the door?
Okay? Let's just try this.
So let's just like both like, um.
Are we going together? Let's go in together.
Just for background, we were told a few things.
You can't be loud.
You can't speak English.
Those are the two main things about us.
And you can't, what is it?
You literally can't go up to the person at the door and be like,
Hey.
Yeah.
All right, so here's us trying to be cool.
Okay.
Shh.
Hey.
Hi.
Shit.
Fuck.
Hi.
Hey.
Hello.
Nine.
No!
Okay, we're going to try again. We're Hello. Nein. No! Okay, we're gonna try again.
Okay, now we're gonna go, we're gonna go, wait.
I think I know what we did wrong.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
We did what we said we wouldn't do.
We said, hey.
Hey.
We were loud, we spoke English.
Okay, ready?
Here it is.
We're really trying to get it now.
Hallo, schlampe.
Nein. No, no.
I think I know what happened there.
You straight up said bitch.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let me take the lead this time.
Okay, you go.
Two.
Two.
Two.
It's my khakis, isn't it?
They're Brooks March.
No!
Damn it!
Well, we tried, everyone.
Give it up for DJ Alias here.
Thank you for being a good sport about that.
Do you guys have the Real Housewives here?
Do you guys know the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City?
Guess who made these pants?
Brooks Marks. Brooks Marks.
They're good.
Not for nothing, these are good pants.
Yeah, I can tell.
I got a hem in mine mine because I got short legs.
But that's...
But that's part of the style.
Right.
It looks great on you.
You've got great legs for pants.
Thank you for saying that.
You've never said that to me before.
And I've been waiting for it.
I've been waiting my whole life for Bowen to just tell me one compliment.
That I have good waiting for it. I've been waiting my whole life for Bowen to just tell me one compliment. That I have good legs for pants.
We've been re-watching the same episode of Salt Lake City for the past week.
Which is this week's episode.
Which is this week's episode.
You're embarrassing yourself.
Whitney, you don't know anything you do.
I do own myself, Mary.
Whitney, you need to grow up.
You call me a pornography.
What?
Heather, what did she call me?
Predator.
Yeah, you guys know it.
You couldn't write that.
I am the hostess of this dinner.
Her behavior is unacceptable and I'd like her to leave.
I mean, all of them are
operating at a 10. It's amazing.
You know, speaking of
going over to the service
and asking them for help,
we went to the Soho house today
and we thought
we could
go there and have an
enjoyable meal.
Am I going to get your membership revoked if I say this?
No, no, no, not at all.
We did have an enjoyable meal because we made great friends with our server.
And we struck up a conversation, we told her we had a show tonight,
and we invited her to come, basically.
So everyone...
Basically, today we didn't have much success with the server, but we think that by bringing her to come, basically. So everyone... Basically, today we didn't have much success
with the server,
but we think that by bringing her out tonight,
it's going to be a lot better.
So everyone give it up for our server
from Soho House Berlin!
Give it up for our server from Soho House!
Hey, this is our server from Soho House!
Soho House Berlin!
This is her.
Thanks.
Hi.
How are you?
It's so good to...
You brought a tray.
Ma'am.
No, wait.
We wanted to get some...
Hold on.
Miss, come back.
We don't know what...
What is this?
We didn't order this.
We didn't order this.
What is this?
That's your fruit.
Oh.
We didn't order the fruit, but thank you.
We haven't ordered yet at all.
Oh, do you guys want to order?
Yeah.
We put it in order for like a limeless guacamole like two hours ago.
Why does the...
Okay, you order the guacamole, no lime, because the seasoning you have to pay extra for if you want seasoning.
At Soho House.
At Soho House in Germany,
we do Mexican food.
That's fun.
Oh, you guys seem cool.
Where are you guys from?
I have to go.
No way!
Suni Green!
Suni Green!
Suni Green!
Wait, I was acting! That was amazing. My favorite Doody Green bag!
Wait, I was acting!
That was amazing.
Oh my God, I was acting.
Did you know it was me even though I was an actress?
No, no one knew.
I transformed into the part.
You transformed into the part. You're a dad. We'll be right back. and gets out of your life. Salt Lake City. We don't wear costumes, we wear fashion. And below deck sailing.
You broke the rules
and now you're here
getting upset.

Let's have a real good time.
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, you look so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. 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. González 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,

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of On Purpose.
My latest episode is with Jelly Roll.
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 got me in a lot of trouble.
I encourage delusional dreamers.
Be a delusional dreamer.
Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. I 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.

Sudhi is here with us on our Euro trip.
Now, I want to know what are your big impressions
of Berlin so far? Because how many days have you been here?
Three.
Three whole days before you guys showed up.
So this is my fourth day. So I'm an expert.
Roses,
thorns.
Okay, my rose is that
people will be walking around
with a Heineken like it's a bottle
of water.
Heinekens are the's a bottle of water. Heinekens
are the Stanley Cups of
Berlin.
I went to
Sanssouci in Potsdam.
I had my little...
They would never go.
I would go.
What is it?
It's a palace, right?
It's a commute on a train.
Okay. Is it a palace?
It's a palace. It's a beautiful palace.
I was pissed off today on the train when I realized
there was no icing.
So I guess someone was going
on kind of like a regional commuter rail
and there's just like this mom
with a big ass backpack and she is
just like breaks open. Not like
the normal beer, but like the big
beer she's just like fucking i was like this needs to happen more this is amazing like you're going
home from work you buy the beer in the train station and you get a little not even a buzz
like you take the edge off before you go home and you have to make dinner it's a perfect system
so that's my rose,
and that's what I'm going to take with me on this trip.
Is drinking in public back in the States.
Is moms with backpacks getting a little tipsy on the train.
My thorn is,
do,
it's actually not a thorn,
it's a question.
Do you have to pay for the train here
i have walked on every train i haven't paid a goddamn thing
we thought it was socialism everyone does it all do you pay you pay? When do you pay? We have answers. Yes.
You pay if
someone comes on the train and asks
to see your ticket. But they don't
do that.
Wait, wait. He's saying
no. They're saying no.
We were on
the ooh. On the ooh.
On the underground.
The ooh-ah. Something kind of ooh. Something the ooh. On the underground. The ooh act. Something kinda ooh. Something kinda ooh act.
So but then how but then and they do this often?
Okay.
What's gonna happen if we didn't pay? We're gonna be arrested.
Okay so so who's gonna arrest us? You?
Okay, so, um, we had a plan
in case someone was gonna come check our tickets,
and we would've been, like, what?
We would've been, like...
Oh, I...
Oh, my God.
We're so sorry.
Sorry.
Oh, my God, this is so sorry.
We would've pretended to be so dumb, gay, and American,
a.k.K.A.
Pretend?
That's check, check, check.
That's true.
I love it here.
I love it here.
I'm moving here.
Yeah?
I'm going to move here. I'm going to move here, except German will not stick in my head.
I was playing Duolingo for like a week before I got here,
and I can't remember how to say,
this is how I think you say bye.
Schuetz.
Well. We're getting some.
It's schuetz. Schuetz.
It's schuetz. Schuetz. Schuetz.
Does it have to be that high?
It's schuetz in my head. Schuetz.
Is it like tonally?
Juice.
It's a tonal language.
It just won't stick in my head,
but I think if I really,
well, this is also me at every coffee shop
where I try and be a good tourist
and I learn my six words,
so they're like, she made an effort
because I think people are giving me a grade
in every single situation
and I really needed to be an A.
And so
I go up to the people and I'm like
hi.
Or I go like hello. And then I say
cappuccino bitte. And then
they say something back to me in German and they go
sorry.
And then they go in perfect English.
Yeah, we don't have to do this.
Yeah.
To go or for here?
Yeah.
This is what I know from Duolingo.
Das Brot.
Das Apfel.
Du bist ein Schlampe.
What is that?
I can get the tongue placement right,
but I can't, like, the vocab is the toughest part.
I don't like doing this.
Legata.
That's okay.
You don't have to do it.
Can I say one thing I say to say hello?
Bienvenue.
We were saying that Matt doesn't know how to say welcome in different languages.
And then this is his attempt at...
Bienvenue!
At French.
They don't even want to fuck me anymore.
That one was so excited about fucking me before.
My favorite thing when Matt is in a country is that he learns the sounds.
And then it's just like strong and wrong just all the way through.
Yeah.
Extremely confident sounds.
I communicate via winks and shoulder shrugs.
Like.
It's.
I don't know my words, but I know my heart international.
Aw.
Aw.
Aw.
Hug.
And with that hug. With. Aww. Hug. And with that hug.
With that hug.
So this is a really special night.
When we thought about who we'd wanna have on the show,
like we couldn't have scored a better guess.
We really could not.
We really couldn't have.
It makes complete sense.
As soon as we knew we could have her on,
it was like, yes, whatever she wants,
I will do whatever it takes to get this person.
Bowen offered up his body.
And they declined.
But God, she's a fucking legend.
True legend.
In every way.
We saw her live this
summer and then me and
Josh Sharp, friend of the pod Josh Sharp, we said
Peaches invented everything.
Peaches invented everything.
Like literally like all
these fucking girlies singing about their
pussy and tits right now have her
to thank. You know what I mean? So we're so
excited to have her. She's a fucking icon.
Everyone give it up for
PJ!
PJ!
PJ!
PJ!
PJ! Into the everybody!
Here we go!
Yes!
Give it up!
Oh, it's a good night.
It's a good night.
Oh, it is.
How you doing?
I'm good.
I'm great. Hi. It's a good night. Oh, it is. How you doing? I'm good. I'm great.
Hi.
This is a moment in time.
And you changed into this look.
Oh, my God.
Chartreuse.
Yeah. Are we calling it Chartreuse?
Oh, is that the color?
Yeah, I'm colorblind.
Yeah, no, I like that.
Yes.
Am I colorblind?
Chartreuse?
Does that feel accurate?
Is it Chartreuse? Does that feel accurate?
Is it?
Chartreuse.
We're making a truce.
We're being insecure about color, everybody.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm being insecure about color.
Oh my God. You are?
I'm like not confident about color.
I see that.
Ah!
Because like, isn't this another thing for Berghain?
It's like you cannot dress in color. You couldn't show up like that. Well, yeah, isn't this another thing for Berkine? It's like you cannot dress in color.
You couldn't show up like that.
Well, yeah, you could.
No, I showed up at Berkine once.
I went to the door and they said,
oh, are you still alive?
And then what did you say?
Yes, I'm alive.
I'm right in front of your goddamn face.
Yeah.
I mean, we're still on the fence about going today
Well, I'll tell you why not to go
Okay, go
Because you can't go to the bathroom there
Wait, really?
True
Christy
I'm sorry, I'm going to tell you way too much information
I've peed, I've peed in many garbage cans there
Perfect
No, you can't get in
People are doing drugs and having sex, which is fine, but you
can't go to the bathroom there
because people are doing drugs, having sex
and there's... But there should be, I feel
like at a club situation where you know
there's going to be a situation where like
many of the stalls are occupied by
drugs and sex. It's like, let's
have like, first of all, burn it all down.
No male-female restrooms.
This is the binary instead.
One bathroom is for drugs and fucking.
One bathroom is for pissing and shitting.
That's good.
You know what would happen?
What?
Everybody would be doing drugs and having sex.
Yeah.
You're right.
It'd just be like, great, another place to do drugs and have sex.
Yeah. Because the line will get real place to do drugs and have sex.
Because the line will get real long for the drugs and sex one. That's what it is.
And as soon as you designate a place to do
drugs and have sex, people aren't going to want to do those things.
Right, exactly. Bring your own
porta potty. That's it.
Bring your own porta potty. Diaper life?
Diaper life?
Could be a good moment
for diaper life
There we go
If we showed up to the line in a diaper
I think we would get in
What do you think?
I mean
I once went to Burkine and then left
after half an hour because I needed to use the toilet
Wow
After waiting in line for hours probably
And that's real priority sort of setting, I think.
Yeah.
It's like, I'm going to piss and shit.
Thanks very much.
Yeah.
I don't care that, you know,
Lucky Two is here or Fred again is here.
I'm going to piss and shit at my home.
Ultimately, it becomes your home.
Yeah.
Listen,
one of my biggest questions for you,
based on what many would consider your biggest song,
can you fuck the pain away?
That is very personal.
How dare you ask me that?
Because I'm wondering myself.
You can keep trying.
You can just keep trying.
Die trying.
Yeah, I mean,
ultimately, I guess you would die trying
if you kept trying.
To fuck the pain away.
I feel like when I'm sad and I try to fuck the pain away,
I become more sad.
How are you feeling now?
He really is cute, right?
The second seat.
He's like, it's me.
He waved, he's like, they're talking about me.
Hi!
But, I mean, like, where did the song come from?
Literally.
It came... literally.
Actually, it's...
I was thinking about Pat Benatar,
not in a sexual way,
but I was thinking about, you're a real
tough cookie with a long history
of breaking little hearts
like you wanted me
which is the wrong lyrics
actually
which is
breaking little hearts
like the one in me
but anyway
I was like
breaking little hearts
like you wanted me
sucking on my titties
like you
I don't know
it wrote itself
it dovetailed
and it just started going
I really don't know
why I fucked the pain away
I was in a sad place yeah but I pain away. I was in a sad place.
Yeah.
But I didn't want to be in a sad place.
Right.
So it was like, I'm not going to be in that sad place.
I'm going to fuck the pain away.
Got it.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't think there is a sort of phrasing that just flows off the tongue more easily
than sucking on my titties like you wanted me, calling me all the time.
It just comes out. It flows. Wait me all the time. It just comes out.
It flows.
Wait, all the time, like, check out my...
Sorry, my blondie behind.
My Chrissy behind.
My Chrissy behind.
Who's going to play here?
Chrissy Hine is here!
Oh, my God!
She's going to play here tonight.
I'm sorry, no.
The pretenders are playing here in two days.
That's what we were saying.
We're the only ones who came.
I'm so sorry.
I feel like I set Peaches up backstage and I was like,
oh my God, Chrissy Arn, the Pretenders.
And then...
She's amazing.
She's amazing.
But anyway, I feel like Fuck the Pain Away is one of those songs that just,
the second you hear it, it's staying with you for life.
You know what I mean?
Like herpes.
I've stained you all.
Yeah.
And thank you for the staining.
It's like glitter in the club.
Like the glitter in the club. It stays on you forever. Yeah. And thank you for the staining. It's like glitter in the club. Like the glitter in the club.
It stays on you forever.
Forever.
Forever, forever.
We talk about the downsides of glitter, actually.
That's come up on the podcast several times.
The downsides of glitter.
Does glitter happen at Berghain?
No.
No.
Okay.
Jesus.
Do they play the movie at Berghain?
Do they play Glitter the film there?
Because that would be fun.
No, that's Schwitz.
No. That all that's Schwitz. That's what happens at Schwitz.
Wait, what is that?
What is this?
Schwitz.
Schwitz.
Schwitz.
Schwitz?
Schwitz.
Schwitz.
She's getting into Berghain.
You had that deep action.
Schvutz.
Yeah.
It's the big gay club.
The big queer gay club.
Within Berghain.
No.
Oh!
No.
So you're saying,
and by gay club.
I'm saying glitter will happen at Schvutz.
I see.
We're so stupid.
So you're saying it's like,
and forgive me,
but you're saying Schvutz
is more like the faggy gay club
where the gay guys are going to get glitter plates.
You're going to get in.
You're going to get into Schvutz.
Yeah.
But this is a true story,
and my boyfriend can back me up
because he used to do a party there called Doing the Most.
So I was like, I'm going to go visit my boyfriend's party
and I rock up.
I'm like, huh, peaches.
They didn't know.
They're like, who?
It's like literally the iconic gay club
and they didn't know who I was.
They were like, you're not Kylie Minogue.
No.
No.
We saw you this summer at Ladyland, which is this big
gay party in Brooklyn during Pride
and god, you had such an amazing set
You came out dressed in what, like
your backup dancers were like
hairy pussies
and then you came out in this gorgeous
like neutral, like kind of
thing. Yeti, hairy
six tits. Yeah, there was a lot of tits
Vagina tit Vagina tit, yeah like kind of thing. Yeti, hairy, six tits. Yeah, there was a lot of tits.
Vagina tit.
Yeah, vagina tit.
Vagina tit, yeah.
Tit vagina.
Was it a, yeah, tit vagina.
Not a vagina tit, yeah.
It was like a little tit merkin.
Tit merkin.
Oh, I love that.
Yeah.
Tit merkin.
And it was great because it's very, you know,
like it's functional.
Of course.
Yeah, it's functional.
And performative. You know, you can take off hairy parts leave parts of boobies on. Is there a function of the merkin beyond aesthetic
or is it just art? It was back in when merkins in the I don't even know when was it the Victorian
when they couldn't. Let's say it was the Victorian. Yeah back in the Victorian age when I don't even know when. Was it the Victorian? When they couldn't. Let's say it was the Victorian. Yeah.
Back in the Victorian age when I don't really know when it was.
You know, they would shave the hair because they couldn't like bathe.
They couldn't bathe and then they put merkins on top.
Right.
Oh, that's why.
Am I making up history or is this really what it was?
We all know what a merkin is, right?
Oh, a merkin is a wig for your pussy.
Yeah.
I used to have them as merch.
It's a weave.
I used to have merch.
You used to have merkin merch?
Merkin merch.
So how does it, so how would you describe it?
Merch.
It was merch.
And it just sits, and it's like, you know, if you're pussy bald or not bald, and it sits.
We're going to demonstrate for you.
It sits right there.
So you can have the fantasy.
Of a hairy pussy.
I love this.
We all found the rhythm so fast.
Yeah.
Wait, I'm actually, I just disassociated
and started to really enjoy this.
And when you do that, do you feel like you have a vagina mmm yeah no I wouldn't I
wouldn't know yeah but in terms of American I would imagine some it's got
to be a little bit for warmth I don't I I don't know it as a warmth item but
that makes sense well I don't think anyone's a warmth item, but that makes sense.
Well, I don't think anyone with a vagina has ever been like,
God, I wish it were warmer down there.
Literally, you took the words out of my mouth, and I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And I'm proud of you because I've never thought my pussy is cold. I've thought, oh, my nips are cold and my pussy could cook an egg.
Yeah.
And it probably is.
And that's why I should freeze them.
We talked about this last night.
Come on, WGA.
You know WGA?
Okay.
This is why we strike, all right?
This is a fun fact.
The Writers Guild of America will pay for your egg freezing in the United States of America.
Move back. if you just
I think they're okay they're good move back for this one thing and if you check that you're a box
that says that you're infertile which they don't and I have this on good authority they don't follow
up on and they will give you a debit card with thirty thousand,000 on it. And you show up to the hospital and you just swipe it
every step of the way. And you tap it? This is why we
strike. This is why we strike. Give it up.
Babies for all. Or you can live in Berlin and get free
healthcare. Yes? No?
No. Sort of. Sort of. Speaking of health endangerment, so another thing that was happening
at your show at Brooklyn Pride where we saw you was you began to crowd surf and we were all very
excited but then the harsh reality of crowd surfing sort of came in which is that you... I walk on
people. You walk on people. It's not a crowd walk on them.
But you sort of like, so for example, if I were to sort of just like walk off the stage right now,
I'd have to trust you, guy I've been flirting with sort of all night.
He was ready.
He was going to catch you.
I know, but also like what happened to you when you tried?
You couldn't trust your own fans.
I mean, I do it every night.
And what did you have to say to them? Well, every night I have to say. I mean, I do it every night. And what did you
have to say to them?
Well, every night
I have to say like,
hello, I'm in front
of your face,
put down your phone.
Yeah, because they're
like this instead of like this.
Because you can't be
taking pictures of me
crowd walking
if you don't use your hands
to help me crowd walk
because then I won't
be walking,
I'll be on the ground.
And then they would
have killed Peaches.
Yes, or embarrassed.
Yeah, right.
Or embarrassed New York.
If you're doing this every night,
then this is a huge thing for you to like,
just trust complete strangers, I feel.
Yeah.
Is it not?
It is, especially when you're at festivals
and it's like the European Burning Man thing
where they don't announce who's playing
so people don't really know you and they're high off their asses and they have no idea that your foot's a foot
and they're just like
it's very surreal because I got kind of like turned on I will say when you in Brooklyn you
were like if you don't get off your fucking phone I I'm going to fall and die. And it was like so,
it was like so raw.
And it was like,
wow.
So you like me angry?
Yeah.
All right, all right.
I like anger in general.
But I'll take anger.
Oh yeah,
I love you angry.
Love me angry.
Yeah.
This is really thick.
Oh.
Up on stage.
This fall on stage. Oh my gosh, can I take this in? It's going to be amazing. New York City. Everyone is a gossip. No one gets a happier life.
Salt Lake City.
We don't wear pastels, we wear fashion.
And below deck sailing.

Okay, Petrus and I are both Canadians, so this is like our outlet.
Do we have any Canadians here?
Wow, quite a few.
How's it going, eh?
How's it going, eh?
Did you go to Marineland as a kid?
No, but I can sing the theme song.
Marineland, Niagara
Niagara Falls, Ontario
Wonderful place for you to go Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Wonderful place for you to go.
Marineland, Niagara.
Yay.
There are people who are really reacting.
Wait, because who else knew it?
There was someone over there that was like, you were shook.
Listen, I'm a million years old.
Nobody knows that version.
They're like, I know it, but like from the 80s.
I know it from like 1920. We need jingles like that back again, though.
Marineland.
See, I want that.
Yeah, that's right.
I confess that I don't know that version, but this is the Marineland jingle that I know.
At Niagara Falls, Ontario, Marineland is the place to go.
Where friends to see and things to go. Where friends to see.
And things to do.
Everyone loves marine land.
Wait, you were singing really good.
No, I didn't stick the landing at the end.
Bowen.
That's a soaring melody.
That was a very difficult key you chose.
And you nailed it.
You did. That was beautiful. You nailed it., and you nailed it. You did.
That was beautiful.
You nailed it.
No, I didn't.
I croaked.
Beautiful.
I croaked.
Gorgeous voice.
Thank you.
But then at the end of your set,
you sang a cover of Private Dancer by Tina Turner,
and it was truly incredible,
because we thought the set was over,
so people started to leave,
and then you started singing Private Dancer and everyone froze.
And they were like, what the fuck is she doing?
Is she?
Oh, my God.
And it was I mean, we were all in tears.
It was incredible.
It was amazing.
And your voice on Private Dancer was so incredible, too.
I mean, it was just like Tina is the legend.
Yeah. Yeah. Give it was just like, Tina is the legend. Tina, yeah.
Yeah, give it up for Tina.
Europe's own for the last years of her life.
What's that?
I said Europe's own for the last years of her life.
I went to see Tina the musical.
Have you seen Tina the musical?
You know what's funny?
The three of us were actually supposed to see it for my birthday on March 8th, 2020.
Women's Day. supposed to see it for my birthday on march 8th 2020 and right it was it was like right when the pandemic hit but the three of us were gonna go and then we never got to go was it good i went in
london yeah like yeah how was it it was amazing it was so good it was so so good i didn't want to
see it in germany because i don't want to see it in German. Right. Is this a thing that happens in Europe where
if it's outside of, let's say, the UK,
they will do it in the
regional language? Yes.
And it's not what I want to see.
I don't want, I want to see
Tina Turner in English.
They'll probably sing all the songs
in English, but all the dialogue will be in
German. I see.
Is Private Dancer your favorite, Tina? I would imagine.
No, I have so many favorites.
Yeah.
I mean...
We don't need another hero.
Oh, wow.
So good. Come on.
Wow.
All the children sing.
Another hero. We don't. Another hero.
We only got a hero.
The world.
Woo!
Yes!
Okay.
Honestly, that is beyond Thunderdome.
Oh my God.
Have you guys ever seen Mad Max where Tina is the villain?
Do yourself a favor.
Because Tina was serving acting.
She was one of those, like, artists
that, like, could literally do everything
but was like, nah.
She was like, she didn't give you as much acting
as she was capable of.
She was just Tina.
Yeah.
She was like, I'm going to give you a taste
of my star quality in all these areas
and then dip.
And then in the last 20 years of her life,
she was like,'m here like hanging out
yeah because i'm finally happy the documentary yeah she was a buddhist right yeah yeah but she
you know mick jagger got everything from tina turner right you know yeah like an asshole no i
don't know but like she's one of those's like every modern artist has taken from Tina.
Yeah.
Okay, does this claim that I made before you came onto the stage
ring true to you at all?
I do feel like there is so much owed to you,
and you don't have to claim this as a debt or anything,
but it's like, I feel like you broke open this thing
for so many artists, right?
Where it's like, it's about,
they're not singing about their body parts
in this lewd way.
They're singing about like gender.
They're singing about like the politics of gender.
They're singing about all these different things.
And I feel like you really were someone
who like innovated on that.
Like you were the first person I feel.
And do you know what?
This weekend is 20 years of Fatherfucker,
my second album.
Wow, fuck yeah.
Congrats. Amazing. Congrats.
Amazing.
Yeah.
It's called Fatherfucker.
Why don't we say that?
Why don't we say that as a culture?
I say it, I just don't say it in public.
Well, you better start.
I'm a motherfucker.
I wish.
Not my own father.
Daddy's.
I have been really into daddy porn lately.
Is this a good segue?
Yeah.
Anyway, what do you think of like the like,
because it really feels like in the past 10 years or so,
like sexual frankness in like mainstream pop music.
And like, I'll never forget,
like obviously like Janet was doing it in the 90s.
Madonna has always been there doing it.
But then I feel like Beyonce's self-titled album,
that's when she was talking about Turn the Cherry Out and everything.
It just feels like now it's a really fixed part of pop music.
Even these girls who are relatively young, are
talking about themselves and getting
off in a way that feels
really powerful and emboldened, but I
wonder if you do
feel some
not responsibility for
it, but you know what I mean?
Are you proud of these girls?
I am all for it. I am there for it.
I am so excited. Get off, girls. I am all for it. I am there for it. I'm so excited.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Get off, girls.
I'm into it.
Yes.
Yeah.
I love it.
Do you think that there is any taboos left in music?
Or do you think that we now just have to?
It's weird.
It depends where you are.
It's still contextual.
Yeah. It's weird. It depends where you are. It's still contextual or like, it's weird. It's still taboo in a way, even though it's pop, it's so strange that it's like both. Does that make sense?
Contextual depends on the audience. Yeah, completely.
It feels like it's become more political now. It's almost like sexuality in music is like
an accepted thing, like candor in that way is just like,
yeah, that's what we talk about, whatever.
Now it's like people would get more up in arms
and more like have their pearls clutched
if like you made some sort of like political message
that will like fuck people up.
Right, like to be more just straight out
directly political.
Right.
Or would people just shut off?
Like that's almost why I did what I did,
you know, to give humor to it to give fun
to give like
don't be so scared
it really is this thing where it might not have taken off
in this way
for other people if you hadn't been so funny
about it because I think my favorite
couplet
in like any genre
I think about this always is I think it's in Rub,
where you go, I'm feeling good on an edible,
I'm out if the hole is forgettable.
I'm out!
If the hole is forgettable, that's a rule of culture.
That's rule of culture number seven.
And that's very, very inclusive.
Very, so inclusive, so inclusive.
So inclusive, lots of holes.
Lots of holes.
I'm feeling good on an edible.
I'm out if the hole is forgettable.
Period.
So good.
That's poetry.
That's poetry.
I am out if the hole is forgettable.
See?
Because it's hard for a hole to be,
a hole is like the mac and cheese of body parts.
It's hard to fuck it up.
That's a rule of culture.
That's a rule of culture.
Does that make sense?
I think a hole is incredibly easy to fuck up.
I'm saying.
You're saying a hole is a hole.
A hole is like, everyone's excited for a hole.
And if your hole is forgettable, then it has to be pretty bad.
Yeah.
There is that thing of like when you're like psyched up for sex and you're just like, it's the hole.
And it really doesn't matter what the condition of the hole is.
It's kind of just like, I'm cross-eyed goonin'.
You know what I mean?
So you'd have to be really kind of like, I'm not really liking this.
For the hole to ruin it up.
But you're out of the holes forgettable.
I'm just thinking about mac and cheese.
No, really, I am.
I love mac and cheese.
Oh, we love mac and cheese.
Bowen had mac and cheese the other day at Soho House London.
You did?
He did.
Do you just go to Soho House?
From Soho House to Soho House?
Like it's the Hard Rock Cafe.
He teaches?
Yes, he does.
It's awful.
But wait, what would make a whole forgettable for you?
Smell, taste.
It rhymes with edible, okay?
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
But it's a perfect rhyme.
It's a perfect rhyme.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Not cited a lot, so I appreciate it.
Oh, I've never forgotten it.
I'm glad.
We have the bibliography.
Yeah, yeah.
On the whole lyrics.
We asked this question to all of our guests.
Yes.
So Peaches, this is the question that is the last cultureista's question.
It is, what is the culture that made you say culture is for me?
This is like the formative
pop cultural thing it can be like the culture of your community or like anything in your
upbringing that moved you into this sort of cultural direction that main peaches peaches
i think it was more just questioning things like looking at cultural mainstream and saying,
why is that mainstream?
I don't relate to it.
Yeah.
So it was like, I don't understand.
Why am I singing along with these certain lyrics?
Why am I watching this movie from this point of view
that I don't feel is my point of view?
But I like the movie.
I like this song.
How can I switch it around so that I feel that I
am included uh-huh that is like the queer way of looking at anything right
that what about a whole day you were like oh yeah yeah, I always like to use the Rod Stewart. Like, remember, I was born in like 1842.
The year of the Merkin.
The year of the Merkin.
Well, it's just like a Rod Stewart song where it's like,
don't say a word, my virgin child.
Spread your wings and let me come inside.
Like just stuff like a white you know
like why i used to sing along with that or like you know big-legged woman ain't got no soul
what just like think what am i singing along with right thing we don't question that usually
most people don't question that i certainly have stopped i'll sing along to anything
i sing i love like i'm like a karaoke junkie you know and i'll sing along to that stuff but
also i was really like wait why am i what is this yeah i think i watched an interview of you saying
that um your first like moment of performing was singing. Can I say this?
I think it's, no, it's perfect.
No, it's cute.
We're all going to work our way.
It was like you were at someone's like bat mitzvah or something.
It was Michael Besson's bar mitzvah in New York
where most of my family lives.
There you go.
And like there was a band on stage
and then you were like, oh, that's cool.
I want to go up there.
And then your mom was like, but can you sing?
And you were like, yeah.
And then you went up there and you sang
Barbra Streisand's The Way We Were.
Wow.
Memories
light the corners
of my mind.
Misty
watercolor
memories. Yes. Of the way we were. My misty watercolor memory.
Yes.
Of the way we were.
But I was seven and I'm singing about divorce.
What the fuck was it about?
Scattered pictures.
It's like you've never taken a picture.
Yes.
You're seven.
I mean, that's...
Scattered pictures.
That's one of the greatest songs of all time.
We're doing that as a duet
Yes we are
Yes
I'll pay to see that
It's funny you mentioned
Karaoke
I used to sing that
Back in the day
We used to go to the duplex
In New York
My ex-boyfriend
Would play the piano
And I would sing
The way we were
To four people
Nothing is funnier
Than a child singing a song
With like
No understanding
Of the meaning
But like all of the meaning but like
all of the sass.
Like does anybody remember, like my favorite thing is when like there's a little girl on
like This American, not This American Life, on America's Got Talent.
This American Life.
America's Got Talent, yeah.
This little girl on America's Next, America's Got Talent.
Get it out.
America.
She's on an America singing show.
And then she goes out there and they're like, what's your name?
And she's like, Cheryl.
And they're like, how old are you?
She's like, I'm seven.
And they're like, what will you be singing?
If I were a boy, man.
And then she goes out there and she's like, if I were a boy.
Yeah.
You know what?
You know what it was?
It was X Factor.
OK, so this is what it was.
There was an X Factor in America
and there was a little girl named Rachel Crow.
She was 10.
And I remember one time...
Do you actually know this?
Are you nodding?
Because you know this is insane.
This is a pull from the past.
But she sang Etta James
and it was...
Oh my God.
At last?
I'd rather go blind.
I'd rather go blind.
And she was 10.
And she was like, something told me.
And it was like, she was giving it like 400 years of history.
She was giving it the pain of a woman who knows.
And it was this also this time where we were like kind of obsessed with her
and kept watching her over this 10-year-old girl who then like had an album come out when she was like a teenager and there were like some bops on it.
Yeah, you were obsessed with her.
You must stream Cheryl.
But what you need to know is she sang I'd Rather Go Blind and gave it literally more gravitas than I've seen any woman in her 40s ever give it.
And like was eliminated. Just like you gotta go little girl give it. And like, was eliminated.
Just like, you gotta go, little girl.
And I was like, no.
With that song?
She sang that song and was promptly kicked off.
It was how-
I'd rather!
She gave it the whole thing.
She gave it like, rasp in the voice.
She was giving it like, all the-
It was wild, but she was 10.
So maybe it freaked America out.
Maybe they were like, I don't know.
Like, I don't want to see a 10-year-old divorcee.
But Peaches did it with the way we were.
And I kind of...
But I was with my family.
It was all family.
But it was like a mixed crowd of people of all ages.
And then it must have gone over well enough that you kept doing it, right? It was all family. But it was like a mixed crowd of people of all ages.
And then it must have gone over well enough that you kept doing it, right?
I had to do it at every bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah, wedding up until I was like 15.
Always that song?
Always Barbara?
Yeah, they're like, sing Barbara.
Sing Barbara.
And then I was like, I'm going to do Janis Joplin now.
Hand me the electric guitar. And then I was like, yeah.
And then everyone was like, I'm going to do Janis Joplin now. Hand me the electric guitar. And then I was like, yeah. And then everyone stopped asking me.
Also asking for Barbara's songs at the time.
It's like they're such downers.
You know, she hadn't even gotten to like, enough is enough is enough.
No, that was happening.
It was happening at that time.
And that's another duet that we would kill.
We would crush it.
Are you Donna?
No, you're Barbara.
I can be whoever you want.
I like both parts.
I bet.
Whatever part you want to do, I'll do it.
Okay, we'll talk.
Matt and I saw Barbara in Brooklyn.
Yes, we did.
And it was Barbara in Brooklyn.
Yeah.
And it was, well, Barbara's my number one.
And she's like my absolute number one diva.
And Matt and I were like singing.
We were living. For Enough is enough. She had one of her incredible
backup singers come
to the front and they sang it together
and then everybody was like freaking out for this amazing
backup singer.
She couldn't help herself and started to pop off about
politics. And one woman
in the crowd like in the back was like
shut the fuck up!
And we were like you came to Barbra Streisand in the year 2019 in the back was like shut the fuck up and we were like well you came to barbara streisand in the year 2019 this is about to go down like honey or no it was like 2050 it was
2050 because she sang um what a beautiful world and she was like also because it was her 10 barbara's
10 number one album yeah so it was amazing put up, like, the album art for every
single album and then sang songs from the album.
And she told a lot of stories and all
the stories were like, when I wanted to
do this thing, they told me I couldn't do it.
And then I yelled at them until I could do it.
And then I did it and it's a number one album.
Yep.
Literally every story.
You know, this album art, they said
they don't like it because you can't see my face.
And I said, we're going to do it.
I don't care what you say.
And then it won best album art at the Grammys.
It was never even a category until then.
So she's singing What a Beautiful World.
And then she says, and I sang this for this president.
And I sang it for Jimmy Carter.
And I sang it for Bill Clinton.
And I'm going to sing it for the next president, Hillary Clinton.
And this woman goes, shut up, son!
And then I told her, I told her, I was like, you shut up, you went to Barber, you know
what she thinks.
And that woman was Lauren Barber.
That woman was Lauren Barber.
Wow, a risk with the Lauren Bobert reference in Germany.
And she was getting fingered.
She was getting felt up.
She was getting her tits all felt up.
I came to Europe one time and I was like,
so do you guys know our joke political figures?
And then everyone knew all of our horrible politicians.
They probably know them from you.
Yeah, I guess maybe.
Yeah, because we give them a platform.
We don't give them a platform.
We just talk about them.
Ted Cruz sends us a fruit basket.
Hey, thanks for getting my name out there.
Oh, God.
Terrible.
Wait, I just...
Have you ever heard about this Barbara myth
where she has so much stuff?
The mall?
The mall.
That they like set up her stuff in a mall and she rebuys her own thing.
They take her around.
You've heard this too?
It's true.
It's true.
So there's a mall under her home, which is all her shit and all the things that she has like ever sold, created, produced,
and also things that she just accumulates over time.
There is an estate and then under it,
it's like Disney World.
It's like there's another world underneath it.
And also the clone dogs are a real thing.
And I knew a girl who was the dog's groomer.
Wow.
So everybody knows she has cloned her dogs because she loved her dogs so much that she
cloned them.
And I just want to recontextualize the mall under Barbara's house, okay?
Because I do work for her.
Which is that it actually started because she got a lot of her old costumes.
So she had her costumes from like Hello Dolly and like, you know, What's Up Doc and all
these great movies that she had been in and like Hello Dolly and like, you know, what's up doc and all these
Great movies that she had been in and she wanted to display them. So she was like, why don't I build a
Victorian mall it really is like Disney because it's from that like era a Victorian mall in my basement to display
My costumes. This is interesting to only me
I'm This is interesting to only me. I am reasoning. No, me too. And then she was like,
well, we can make the movie theater
an old-timey movie theater
and have an old-timey candy shop
in front of the movie theater.
And then I also have all this memorabilia of myself.
So it's really an extremely innovative
and creative way to display your archive
to people who would visit your home and may be interested
me you know one day if she passes if no no no if I say if that would be horrible um but like they
probably should open it up like well it could be like Graceland. You know what's interesting about Barbara is that she is like, I think Tina did a similar
thing where she's reaching a certain age and so she's very much curating and really putting
the stamp on her legacy.
She just had a center open up that has her name on it.
She does tons of philanthropic work.
And has anybody heard the album of Barbara at the Carlisle you must go by
this album okay great Lauren Bowbert you must go by this album okay so when
Barbara was truly like 18 and trying to be a recording artist she never wanted
to be a bar on Broadway she was only on Broadway so that she'd become a recording artist. Yeah.
So, yeah, that's the way to do it.
So,
she recorded this album
live at the Carlisle, which is a club
in New York that still exists today.
And it was like a very intimate kind of
cabaret recording.
People are walking out. It's okay.
And
she, so it's like her
at like 19 singing
all these standards and she found it
in storage. She thought it was lost. She found
it in storage a while ago and she was like,
I'm going to save this one.
I'm going to save this one for when they really want it.
And then she saved it forever and then she like
just released it a year ago.
And it's like a perfect time capsule.
I'm going to stop talking.
No, that was the Barbara
segment of this show.
I'm telling you.
Give it up.
The lights come up.
They're all still here.
Look!
And that's for Barbara.
For Barbara.
The best of all time, as she would say.
It's going to be amazing. New the Real Housewives of Potomac. Oh my gosh, can I take this in?
It's gonna be amazing.
New York City.
Everyone is a gossip.
No one gets a happier life.
Salt Lake City.
We don't wear pastels, we wear fashion.
And below deck sailing.
You broke the rules and now you're here getting upset.
Watch all new seasons on Bravo or stream it on City TV+. Let's have a real good time.
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. Elian. Elian. Elian. 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. 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.
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. 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 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.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.
I think it might be time for I Don't Think So.
I think it's time for I Don't Think So.
So this is the 60-second segment of our show
where we take 60 seconds
to rail against something in pop culture
that needs a railing, not unlike us.
Hey.
He goes, hey.
I wasn't so shy.
No.
And I think I actually have something based on an experience that we had today.
Great.
I don't have a phone.
Would you like me to time you?
Yes, I'll give you mine.
Okay.
Sisters, they share phones with each other.
Okay, great.
This is Matt Rogers.
I don't think so honey.
His time starts now.
I don't think so honey museums.
Sorry, bitch.
If I go into your establishment
and there's nothing I can like ride on a roller coaster
or there's no cocktails I can drink,
I don't give a fuck.
You know what happens when you go into a museum?
You look at a bunch of fucking tubes.
It's like, oh yeah, someone like blue glass.
Great. Honestly, like, oh yeah, someone like blue glass. Great.
Honestly, honestly, honestly,
what is so good about some of these pictures?
Outside of the texture.
I get the texture.
The ones we saw today.
30 seconds.
Ms. Mama, she wrote the ones.
I'm telling you, museums, you have to be so quiet.
You can't walk up to the paintings
or else the alarm goes off.
And then they come over to you
and they're like,
hey, you can't come close to the painting.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
I wasn't going to touch it.
Oh, so if you did have some things you could touch,
maybe it will be more fun in here.
I would love for this to be more of a petting zoo.
I say about every museum,
I would love for this to be more of a petting zoo.
My no for Berlin
Better petting zoos
And that's one minute
And you all feel the same
Not one of you actually likes museums
The reason why you go to a museum
Is because you have your two friends
That say they like it and they're lying too.
I'm not lying.
I'm not lying.
I wept in a museum the other day.
She's wept at the Klimt exhibit.
The Klimt?
Yeah.
What's the Klimt?
Okay.
The Klimt made her for Klimt.
Yes.
Oh, bingo.
Bingo.
You enjoyed the museum?
Not today's. But I have enjoyed museums a great deal.
You agree they'd be better if it was a petting zoo?
Yeah, if they were more like a petting zoo, sure.
Yes.
But I like, museums are best when you're solo,
because then you can go at your own pace,
and you can read the placards on your own pace,
and you can listen to the audio guide at your own pace
and that's the way to do it.
I have to be honest, there was a point in the museum today
where I literally went to the next room
because I know Bowen and Sudi were going to come around the corner
and see me and I literally sat on like a couch
and looked at a painting because I thought
I want them to see me doing this.
Oh my god, that's so funny because I did see you do that
and I go go he's moved
he found it and then i i didn't really like the painting you were staring at but i wanted you to
feel like oh i'm having the experience so i said about the painting i said
it really is beautiful and then i said the texture
and that's why i just pointed you during my,
I don't think it's funny I said the texture in that one,
because actually it was the only piece of art
that I really looked at all day.
Wow.
But can I say something?
When I sat down to do this bit of Bowen and Studio
are going to turn the corner and see me looking at the painting,
I actually was moved by the painting.
Wow.
So maybe this is a reminder for all of us out there
to just stop, take a second, and enjoy the view.
This is...
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
So we did this in London where I had a prepared
I don't think so, honey, and Matt did not.
So Matt took something from the audience.
I'm drawing such a blank right now.
So we do this thing called the Troll Bowl,
where, and old fans of Lost Cults will know,
the Troll Bowl is where you reach into a bowl of topics,
usually they're popular topics
that it would be very difficult to go negative on.
Julie Andrews is a great example of one.
I mean, just the other night in London,
I did Princess Diana.
It's really hard.
Really hard.
So I guess Bowen is going to do a troll bowl.
Whatever you guys want, I will try and do.
I will attempt to do.
I need some suggestions of things
that will be difficult to go negative on.
Go.
Chaperone.
Chaperone.
Chaperone.
Guacamole.
Guacamole.
Guacamole.
Jimmy Carter.
Donnie Patton.
What? What?
What?
The Morning Show.
These are all very good.
These are all very good.
These are all very good.
Lorne Michaels.
Lorne Michaels.
You should, I guess, okay.
Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Oh, no.

Straight men in groups.
Terrifying. Terrifying.
Terrifying.
The shot of lightning
that goes from my cerebral cortex
to my butthole when I see a group of
straight men on the street.
I am crossing the street. If they are
drinking, if they are smoking,
if they are laughing, I am going the
other way.
Okay? European men, you're still into skinny jeans
and smoking cigarettes. I think that's ultimately queer,
but the whole group thing, it's scary.
Okay? When you see that red blossom on your cheek,
I'm sorry, it's our vibes. I don't want to see it on my vacation.
I don't want to see you having fun.
I don't trust it.
I don't want to go to any place where there's a lot of you.
I don't think so, honey.
Men in groups.
You should be in groups of three.
And that is it.
And that's one minute.
Sudie Green.
Sudie Green. So scared!
It's so scared!

When there's a lot of them,
I go, no!

Yeah.
It was a lot of them
all running in a row.
Are there any straight men even here?
Whoa.

None in groups.
None in groups.
They're all spread out.
But not together.
Not together.
What straight man is here with their straight male friend?
None.

The music is loud.
Everybody's yelling.
Why can't you, if you can invest in like land outside of,
you know, Berlin to grow your own vegetables
and tell us about them.
I want to hear about them.
And then you can invest in acoustic treatment.

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.
