Starting point is 00:02:54 saturday september 2nd last night a legend passed jimmy buffett has passed at age 76. He was a singer, songwriter, icon, author, and truly entrepreneur. Billionaire. He was a genius. He was valued at $1 billion. Really? And this is when you go, maybe not all billionaires.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Not all billionaires. If it's Rihanna and Jimmy. If it's Rihanna and Jimmy and Soon Taylor, three of the least evil people in the entertainment industry. Those are the three least evil people in the entertainment industry. Those are the three least evil people in the entertainment industry. They are the kindest, biggest slays. Actually, I will say Taylor giving the Teamsters bonuses.
Starting point is 00:03:35 That's good. Are you kidding me? That was huge. She gave him a huge bonus. I mean, that's like everyone on the whole thing got $100,000. But we digress. Here's the thing. We're talking about Jimmy now. We're talking about Jimmy now.
Starting point is 00:03:45 We're talking about Jimmy. And I... Sort of the Taylor Swift of his time. In many ways, bitch. Did you know he is... I read his obituary, as many people did. One of only five or six writers, including Ernest Hemingway and fucking John Steinbeck,
Starting point is 00:04:02 to be number one on the bestsellers list for nonfiction and fiction. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he had a real connection to people. And to, like, creativity to art.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah. This man rhymes flip-flop with pop-top. You never forgot that. You never forgot that. Blew out my flip-flop. Stepped on a pop-top. What is it?
Starting point is 00:04:24 What's the rest? Had to cruise the way home? Had to cruise on back home. Had to cruise on back home. Honestly, here's the thing about Jimmy Buffett, who, and I was reading about him today, too, just briefly. I feel like I didn't even need to, just because I do have the bibliography on him.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I needed to. Listen, he is giving Jaws, like, you don't know Jimmy Buffett if you're not American, I feel. That is the america i want is this man who's able to unite people from every end of life yes queen make them feel welcome either in the music or in the eating establishments just the lifestyle gulf and western lifestyle he created something many special things, as a true artist, in that he had a vision in combining fucking like Calypso country rock.
Starting point is 00:05:10 That's incredible. He invented a new way of expressing himself. It was yacht rock. But it wasn't even yacht rock. But it wasn't. But it was still so signature. And to have that in the music and in the brand and therefore in people's lives
Starting point is 00:05:26 my dad sent me the sweetest message i posted i was thinking about him today and katrina actually i called him this morning it was the first thing i did when i woke up i looked at my phone i was on a group text to jimmy buffett and tagged me and said matt we're thinking of your dad and i literally called my dad and i didn't know what to expect. I didn't, I didn't know if I could expect him to be like emotional or what, but they were at the beach and they came to the beach to pour one out for Jimmy. It's just, I texted Andy actually to see how he was doing because they were friends.
Starting point is 00:05:57 And apparently he was really at peace when he went, like apparently he had been sick for some time and that everything was accepted and you know everything was good and i felt like yeah i mean what that's like a fitting way for him to go like truly like at peace and also the fact is if he had been sick for a while and no one knew about it i mean this is someone who's like a cultural icon and no one knew he had been struggling in this way i think he genuinely had care for his fans up until the very end he's like i don't want them to know that i'm suffering i want them to think it's still a party you know what i mean and even in the way that they disclosed his manner of passing was very like the vibes were good and
Starting point is 00:06:41 it's just so rough because my dad said like, he was the music to my voyage. Oh my God. Yeah. People have a connection. Your dad being like the parrot head. You've seen that room in my old house. I've seen the room. It is, imagine a corner in a basement, the basement, right? It was like the back den. The back den. Yeah. That is just airlifted out of CityWalk Margarita. Yes. It's beautiful. It was a beautiful room. But I'm just saying like this- There were so many parrots in that room. So many parrots. Remember counting them? I didn't count them. Oh, I counted. There was about 23 parrots in that room. Did you guys count the parrots in Broadway Ants or no? I think we did count the parrots in Broadway Ants, but in
Starting point is 00:07:25 Broadway Ants, which was my old web series, with Doug Wynick, they did debrief all the shows they saw in that room. I think we discussed it. That's so funny. No, I'm saying he provided an aesthetic
Starting point is 00:07:42 for so many people, your dad included, obviously. Yeah. It's a lifestyle. And when you sell people a lifestyle that is harmless and just- It's about chilling out. It's about chilling out. That is like, thank God he provided that on such a scale.
Starting point is 00:08:01 And I don't mean scale in the business sense. I just mean like in terms of like getting into people's hearts and creating a fantasy for people that is like really lovely i think is is beautiful i mean it really is like this like i think that a lot of people that were his fans were actually hard-working type a people who just literally wanted a break and literally he personified what it meant to take a break. To take a break. But see, even as you're talking about him not wanting to worry his fans
Starting point is 00:08:31 with any illness because the party's still going, I mean, that is a pure commitment to that idea. Because even he, I think after a certain age, was like, this isn't what I do anymore necessarily in my own life, but I will still sing about it. Yeah. I'm very much like, when he started writing books,
Starting point is 00:08:48 I think was when he was like, buckling down and being like, I am just going to be like, pretty, like, square, and not be like, this man,
Starting point is 00:08:56 but then I'll dress up on stage as this guy. Mm-hmm. Like, that is, there's such a beauty to that, too. What if today,
Starting point is 00:09:04 Beyonce, at Renaissance Tour, does a cover of cheeseburger and imagine beyonce at renaissance in la in la just like so close to her birthday she's like we need to stop the show tonight we have lost a legend because you know Beyonce respects. Oh, of course she does. And she shut it all down to sing Cheeseburger in Paradise. I would love that. If she is worth her salt, she will turn to God and she will say up there in heaven, I see you, Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Here's my sunning rendition. She has to. Of cheeseburger. She has to. This man before the skincare lines and the fucking... Before house labs, there was Margaritaville and that's a rule of culture number
Starting point is 00:09:59 nine. Before house labs, there was Margaritaville. I can't believe your go-to was house labs and not fenty or like no for me the number one celebrity brand is house labs so should we do a house labs episode where we have like a makeup do we do a video and we have a woman come in who's like incredible and we just do a house oh we should just should just get a house labs rap in here. Let's just get a house labs rap. Maybe her name is Stephanie Germanotta. What if Gaga ever came on the pod? That would be...
Starting point is 00:10:31 First of all, I realize that I am going through my life with Gaga the same way you did. I am going through my life with Gaga. The same way you did for a long time with Kelly. Where like,
Starting point is 00:10:43 I have fear about meeting her yes i completely understand and i if i'm ever presented the option where it's not completely on my own terms i will decline do you know what i'm saying a hundred percent and if she were to ever come on this can you even imagine i that would be my not to compare it to your journey or your voyage but i would not be able to keep now I have such respect for the composure and the professionalism you kept around her during her episode it's even on fucking film like
Starting point is 00:11:12 I would not be able to keep it together but we're going to I don't know I'm putting it out anything is possible at this point it really is especially in a post Kelly landscape on Las Culturistas but I just... If we committed, I think we could
Starting point is 00:11:28 make a serious case for Gaga come on the pod. We... Come on! You know what we'll do? This is what I want to do. I want to go to Vegas with you and see her jazz and piano and do it there. Did you see she did Stupid Love Jazz rendition and it sounds, dare I say,
Starting point is 00:11:44 Little Monsters are saying it sounds better than the original. I mean, why wouldn't it? She's just a constant sleigh. Constant sleigh. Like the horns come in and it's like, woo! It's so good.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I would love that. Do you, I mean, not that this would have happened because he was sick and we don't know what he would have been able to do. Do you have regrets
Starting point is 00:12:01 about not getting Jimmy on? Oh, I mean, like that would have been fun, but I don't have regrets about not getting Jimmy on? Oh, I mean, that would have been fun, but I don't... It's a different thing. The reason why he's more significant for me is through my father. It's not for me. It's just like, it will always connect to that joy. He's the type of person
Starting point is 00:12:15 I'm sure who would not have minded that someone's parent of a different generation was their gateway through to him. A hundred percent. Even like his the title of his greatest hits album is one of the best greatest hits titles it's songs you know by heart that's just like straightforward it's like yeah these are songs you know by heart and guess what they were not hits he actually only had he I watched a video in paradise was like the only like chart
Starting point is 00:12:40 come Monday and I think Margaritaville probably at some point, just because of the All I Want for Christmas is You-ness of Margaritaville. Yes, yes, yes. Oh my God. Inspiration has struck. Inspiration has struck. The genius is in the walls. Can I ask, did he invent the phrase, It's Five O'Clock Somewhere? Did he invent that? Well, that was a song
Starting point is 00:12:59 that he did with Kenny Chesney, but based on the phrase, I don't, I can't What's looking up? I feel like Who invented? Who coined? that he did with Kenny Chesney, but based on the phrase, I don't, I can't, let's look it up. I feel like. Who invented? Who coined? This is good. Okay, so you guys,
Starting point is 00:13:10 we're here in the culture lab and we're typing away who coined the phrase. It appears like comedian Red Skelton coined or at least popularized the phrase in 1959. Oh,
Starting point is 00:13:18 wait, so this is interesting. You know when you type something into Google and it fills in? Yeah. So this is what happens. I love when that happens.
Starting point is 00:13:25 This is what happens when you type in who coined the phrase. Okay. Who coined the phrase? And let's see if you can answer each one. And it's Quiz Bowl. Okay. Who coined the phrase manifest destiny? I think, I feel like that is a,
Starting point is 00:13:39 because in paintings of manifest destiny, there's like an angel. I feel like it's either a Christian thing or it's like a Greek thing. Why. I feel like it's either a Christian thing or it's like a Greek thing. Why do I feel like it's like Andrew Jackson? Um, maybe. Who coined the phrase?
Starting point is 00:13:52 And now I'm going to click it. John O'Sullivan. John Lewis O'Sullivan, 1813 to 1895. An American editor who coined the phrase. They paint Columbia. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:00 They paint like the woman Columbia. Right. America. She's like moving across the island. I think, yes, yes, yes. What it was, was like, it is our destiny to manifest the entirety of the continent of North America. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Period. Period. Okay, what are the other ones? Who coined the phrase... Oh my God, this is our new segment, Who Coined the Phrase? Who coined the phrase Cold War? Oh, interesting. These are a little too historic, don't you think?
Starting point is 00:14:26 Do you want to just say? My guess? Yeah, your guess. Who coined the phrase Cold War? I'm going to say that it predates the actual Cold War. Let's say it was, I don't fucking know, Walt Whitman. The first use of the term to describe
Starting point is 00:14:44 the specific post-war geopolitical confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States came in a speech by Bernard Baruch, an influential advisor to Democratic presidents on April 16th, 1947. I would have never known. Yep. Is this still fun? After one more, we're going to find out. Who coined the phrase rock and roll?
Starting point is 00:15:09 Oh, I don't possibly. Alan Freed was his name anyway. Anyway, sorry. I didn't mean to. No, you're right. It's not being fun. Probably like one and a half. Because I've never heard of these fucking people.
Starting point is 00:15:21 I know. But isn't it interesting? Like we weren't wrong. We just weren't right. We we weren't wrong we just weren't right we just weren't right we sort of knew something that's actually a really interesting test of what the fuck you remember from high school all the bullshit that we had to sit through do you remember one math i remember a lot of math trig if i put a trigonometry problem in front of your face right now what would happen
Starting point is 00:15:45 i don't know but you know this is what blows my mind there are friends of ours who know this shit because they have to oh for tutoring it's like josh sharp knows every fucking yep he's gotta know the periodic table charlie bardet is out here teaching kids the sat right yeah maybe i'm getting that wrong yeah he has to know the quadratic. I'm like, thank God. Thank God. Although I would have if I needed to. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Does that sound weird? A hundred percent not. It doesn't sound weird. I was sitting here thinking like how lost I would be on one of those tests. Like if you put like the ACT in front of me right now, which by the way,
Starting point is 00:16:23 I'm sorry to do this to you, but you do have perfect scores on both these tests? No, no. What was your SAT? SAT was... You flopped on the SAT? Wow, bitch.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I got a 2200 out of 24. That's Slaya. I don't... Why would you... I don't want to do this. The Real Housewives of New York City are back for another bite of the Big Apple. Look who it is. Joined by elite new friends. Rebecca Minkoff.

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,

Like she wasn't trying to do this like blueprint thing like Jay Z like she did that with the pink print like literally but I'm saying this is like her confidently being like

Especially a monarch. This song is about Mariah. I wish I would have hugged you tighter. The last time that I saw you.

It is the best episode of las culturistas of all time and that's title of ep the best las culturistas episode of all time with matt and bowen well you were about to say something girl you had a song put your records on oh no what i was gonna say was we had such a moment with girl put your records on by corinne bailey ray in fire island like it truly filled the house and when i say if that song is better than you remember it has aged like a fucking cask of wine whiskey like a fucking cask that's a rule of culture number 63. Put your records on.

Starting point is 00:33:03 Look, I first discovered this woman on an episode of Grey's Anatomy on the episode entitled Yesterday, which is the first episode after the Code Black episodes, the premiere of Eric Dane as Mark. Who could forget? Who could forget?
Starting point is 00:33:19 McSteamy, really. McSteamy. Perfectly soundtracked. This show music supervised by the legend, Alex Pistavas. Like a Star by Corinne Bailey Ray plays. Just like a star across my sky. Just like a
Starting point is 00:33:34 little little little baby. Oh, you need to do her. You need to. Bowen's got Corinne Bailey Ray. We're doing Corinne Bailey Ray for the Gold Open. Wait, you know what I was thinking today like this is the 50th and it's like not happening oh this is the 49th
Starting point is 00:33:49 don't worry but if the strike goes on until next May then there might not be a 49 which I will not come to that although what's your temperature let's take the temperature can we just take the temperature it's just such a bummer to talk about the strikes but there is an emotional turning point, potentially,
Starting point is 00:34:06 now that we're past Labor Day. Because remember, it was the vibe early on where everyone was like, this will be done by Labor Day. And it'd be so symbolic and whatever, blah, blah, blah, to finish it on Labor Day. But this is when we all go like, God damn, this sucks.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Anyway, let's not talk about it anymore. I trust. I trust. You've brought the mood down. I can't even talk about this anymore I trust you've brought them down this could have been the best this was on track to be the best last cult racist episode of all time 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 enemies?
Starting point is 00:34:45 You ain't seen nothing yet. Cheers to being Germanic. With 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 out of here alive.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Salt Lake City. We don't wear costumes, we wear fashion. And below deck sailing out. You broke the rules and now you're here getting upset. Watch all new seasons on Bravo or stream it on City TV+. 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.
Starting point is 00:35:22 And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
Starting point is 00:35:38 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,
Starting point is 00:36:07 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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
Starting point is 00:36:22 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.
Starting point is 00:36:39 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.
Starting point is 00:36:56 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. By the way, we're recording in my new apartment in Long Island City. We didn't give a sense of place. Our first Long Island City episode.
Starting point is 00:37:23 This is our first Queens episode. Queens and Queens. I would say that that would be a good title of that, but the fact is that this is called the best Lost Culture Recess episode of all time. Because what? It is. Because what? We did a live listen of Nicki Minaj. I wish I was a little bit taller
Starting point is 00:37:40 than the soil. Wow, and it's a hook. It's a hook. It's kind of giving Drake, I guess. Don't say his name. Oh! Drake came on Shuffle, and I thought, I used to love this man.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Someone literally on TikTok did a poll of like, say something in the comments if you're a true blue, like, Drake stan. If you're not a guy, let's say. Now, I liked one, two two albums ago where he did like a house themed one i used to know every word to this man song like take care i know every word on that
Starting point is 00:38:14 album fucking i used to love this man anyway it's just what a what a weird tragic thing and then his whole thing with fucking megan is like so fucking shit I can't believe that. I just like, God, this man. To in any way not be up in arms when a woman is shot. Like, can you fucking imagine? But the thing that like all these guys are trying to poke holes in is like, well, she's lying. Like, did it happen? What the fuck? Like.
Starting point is 00:38:40 In a court of law, it got, you know, worked out. So whatever that means to you i don't know anyway should we keep going on pop crave are you done what's happening with pop crave wait what's who's that's not what what is happening with barbie what records has it broken lately barbie is now the highest grossing movie of 2023 and it's september good luck to any other movie that tries barbie has defeated mario let that sink in barbie has defeated mario it is the year of women of women it is the year of greta gerwig okay so get this one day we get an email here's people that have been pitched for the podcast. Greta Gerwig.
Starting point is 00:39:27 We say, uh, yeah, never heard back. Can I just say, if you reach out and we go, yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:39:34 you got to reach back out. Can I go public on something? Oh my God. I think Greta and Noah are mad at me. Why? I got cut out of white noise. And you spoke up about it. I did not speak up about it.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Oh. And I was potentially going to have an appearance in, listen, this is going to be a fucking thing. I was potentially going to be in the Barbie movie, as has been maybe reported on.
Starting point is 00:40:02 I think Greta's mad at me. Why should she? I don't know. I have not heard from the woman., I think Greta's mad at me. Why should I? I don't know. I have not heard from the woman. Help me. Greta. Reach out, Greta. Stop being mad.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Greta, and she was supposed to come on Las Culturistas. I know. Stop being mad. Stop being mad. Oh, God. That has to feel really, really shitty for you because it's her year. To run afoul of either one of that power
Starting point is 00:40:25 cup. You hate to run afoul. You hate to run afoul. For some reason, I pissed off both of these legends. You hate to run afoul. These Oscar winners of Hollywood power players. One Oscar winner, one Oscar nominee.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Neither of them Oscar winners. No one is an Oscar. I believe Noah has an Oscar for Marriage Story. And this is why it's good that we're in the lab. Oscar, Noah, Bomback? And the answer is... Oh, sorry. Neither of them have won an Oscar. God, I'm just digging myself into a deeper well, aren't I? Because now they're going to listen to this and think- And they're going to be like,
Starting point is 00:41:06 why did you have to remind us that? Why did you have to remind us that we were only nominated? Why the hell did you add insult to injury? But know what, Greta? You gotta let me know what I did. Because I'm suffering. I suffer, so. I recently watched, there was like something floating around from francis ha
Starting point is 00:41:28 oh yeah she's such a slay in that movie good she's literally number one i know we really do stand we stand we stand and oh can i say something i'm pissed off about mine in relation to this so i went on keep it and talked about the barbie movie yeah talk about this and they released a social media asset that made it look like you were like being anti-barbie and i just want to say i'm extremely pro barbie i have seen it twice it's one of my favorite movies of the year i think everyone in it slayed did i leave a little bit confused because i wasn't when i thought i was gonna get yes but it's fine to process art over time. And I fucking love it.
Starting point is 00:42:08 And I feel like, well, Lewis was very negative about the movie. And then he kind of swept you into his tie. I felt like in order to keep a conversation going, I had to be like, yeah, I can see why you'd say that this I could agree with just to like have a
Starting point is 00:42:20 subjective conversation about art. Undercurrent. And he was very black and white about the fact that he hated it, but I loved it and it made it seem like I did it. And I just want to say, it really hurt the heart to see that people didn't understand.
Starting point is 00:42:36 I only have love for Barbie. But I think, you know. Page six, if you're going to report on this episode as Bowen Yang complains about not being in the Barbie movie, you have to couple that reporting along with the fact that Matt Rogers is pro Barbie and the
Starting point is 00:42:49 social media assets for head gum painted him in a terrible well it wasn't head gum it was actually crooked crooked I'm sorry we hate to call it out I'm sorry to we hate to start I'm never meant to hurt you this episode is fighting for this episode you. This episode is a battle...
Starting point is 00:43:06 We're fighting for... This episode is what? This episode is a battlefield. Much like love. Should the title not be Battlefield? No, it has to be the best episode of Last Call 12 Time. We just want to remind everyone listening,
Starting point is 00:43:19 take this podcast with a grain of salt. You know what I mean? You might be reporting... Oh, you take this with a big ol' rock. Take this with a grain of salt. You know what I mean? You might be reporting. Oh, you take this with a big old rock. Take this with a rock of salt. Honey. That's actually rollercoaster number five. Take us with a rock of salt.
Starting point is 00:43:37 A salt rock. Yeah. What is the best cocktail you've had recently? God, my knee-jerk response was going to be a rocket fuel. But that was the thing that fucking, I was really, I was pretty down and out before busted when we were on Fire Island. Because as we mentioned last week, we all ordered rocket fuels. That was the drink that made Matt say, I like this. I'm going to have three of these. And I enjoyed it as well.
Starting point is 00:44:03 As we've said, it's a pina colada with a rum floater not even just any around the cardi 151 and so it really knocked me off my feet in the period between head of lettuce and busted and cherry grove and i was starting to close my eyes and potentially fall asleep which which really pissed off Matt Rogers. No way. Did I actually get mad? You were- This is how drunk I was.
Starting point is 00:44:30 You were very drunk and you were really getting in my face, threatening me. And I only say this with love. To wake up? To wake up. And I was- I don't remember this at all.
Starting point is 00:44:41 You were very threatening. Tell me what- Do an impression of me to me. If you close your eyes, I will have words. It was something like that. It was to that effect. I will have words.
Starting point is 00:44:51 I will have words. That sounds like me. So then what we did was to wake us up, we walked over to the beach to look at the stars. Aw. And then we all went as a group
Starting point is 00:45:00 and then Totally blacked this out. Okay. So this is the funny sort of irony to this is that me josh aaron dave oh and matt whitaker we were all like in one group sort of laughing and drawing the sea i turn around you and patrick rogers are two dark shadows on the ground because you've what taken a nap you full-on took a nap on the beach before Busted oh my god
Starting point is 00:45:26 and you were so cruel to me about closing my eyes and you full on fell asleep and then like the entire walk over to the ice palace you were like Patrick and I just took a nap and I was like you fucking stupid girl I am so stupid and I want to
Starting point is 00:45:42 apologize right now wholeheartedly I should not have acted that way. It was untoward. Because you were threatening me. What I didn't do in the impression is you were grabbing me by the arm. No. I'm sorry. I think when I turn up.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I turn up. I know you do. And when I turn up, I got to turn down a little first. Because guess what? I don't know if you remember this part. At Busted, at the show later on, I was living. I living i know you really slayed i was jumping up around the room i was i tipped this person busted queen our greatest living performer yeah i had to give over 100 bucks i tipped 200 yeah because i wanted to hear zatarans at least 10 times yeah and it's 20 a pop also the
Starting point is 00:46:22 moment of just putting the 20 in the bucket and hearing the music come in right away shouts to the dj because it was just so interactive it's an interactive imagine going to universal studios and none of it being on the rails being on a roller coaster and you just fly wherever you want to fly that's what a busted show is like. Yep. Oh my God. Busted did... I've been thinking about this joke all week. Go on. So before she performs, she does a lipstick number to Jesus Take the Wheel.
Starting point is 00:46:53 She sits down on her leopard princess out of nowhere. Again, this is before the song. She goes, Oh. Jesus Christ, my face! Is what I imagine Carrie Underwood screamed when she fell down the stairs and broke her face open.
Starting point is 00:47:12 This was in 2018. Carrie Underwood falling down the stairs happened like five years ago and Busted is still making jokes. As her prelude into Jesus Take the Wheel, I go, this is a brilliant comedian. Busted! I absolutely could not stop screaming it came out of nowhere you can you can imagine it might be true you can't imagine jesus christ my face and look listen we on all the love can i say we are obsessed with carrie i listened to carrie today i listened to her song end up with you which was co-written by leland oh and i also i want to say this carrie underwood what a sleigh of a christmas special
Starting point is 00:48:00 it was on hbl max now Max. She wears a gorgeous blue shining dress at the end proving that Christmas can also be blue. Yes. Okay? Let that sink in. Anyone who eschews
Starting point is 00:48:14 the traditional red-green of Christmas, you are a hero. And can I say? Including Carrie. I don't really do that. I kind of embrace red and green. Not green. That's okay. I don't think green. I don't really do that I kind of embrace red and green not green that's okay
Starting point is 00:48:26 I don't think green I don't think green no if you came out and only green for Christmas I'd be like okay
Starting point is 00:48:33 you're giving St. Patrick's period like I can't see you in all green festive and think Christmas I want someone to come out and give like
Starting point is 00:48:44 brown and red in a way that's like reindeer slash gingerbread. Noted. Do you know what I mean? I just want someone to do that. It could be anyone. Well, oh my God, we just had to hee hee.
Starting point is 00:49:00 We had to hee hee. We had to hee hee because we share a secret. We share a secret and I think I'm ready to tease the secret. Oh my god. The secret is that if you thought that Bowen Yang and I have collaborated,
Starting point is 00:49:15 you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh my god. Oh my god, this is so... You ain't seen nothing yet. If you think Bowen Yang and I have collaborated, you ain't seen nothing yet. If you think Bowen Yang and I have collaborated, you ain't seen nothing yet. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back. I love that. I love that.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Oh my gosh. Welcome. And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg. You're recording us? I am disgusted. Never in a million years after everything we've been through did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy. We were friends. How could you do this to me?

Starting point is 00:52:09 I just cracked my knuckles into the mic. Do you think it's time? I think it's time. This is a little bit of a shorter episode. No, I mean, because look, here's the thing about I Don't Think So Honey. It promotes conversation. Of course. Do you have something? Yes. This is Matt Rogers' I Don't Think So Honey
Starting point is 00:52:25 on this the greatest lost culture he's designed of all time and his time starts now I Don't Think So Honey
Starting point is 00:52:32 sand currently in my apartment no there is sand and guess what we're actually miles and miles away
Starting point is 00:52:38 from the beach but it doesn't matter because of the way sand stays with you when you interact with it I have brought it home with me I have to say one of the low points i don't think so honey moment of myself and how i felt about myself was when bowen yang we were sharing around and he was trying to unpack and he said
Starting point is 00:52:54 there is sand everywhere i said what is this he said what is this and he said this is sand and he was getting so worked up no and i was like, this is my fault. Because I know that my weakness is sand and sand control. I don't have any sand control. Whenever I go to the beach and I interact with the sand, it is up in everywhere.
Starting point is 00:53:18 It is in my shoes. It is in the towel. I don't interact well, I guess, with an outdoor shower. I really should be utilizing the facilities, but I don't. I don't think well I guess with an outdoor shower I really should be utilizing the facilities but I don't I don't think so honey sand because you follow me and that's one minute it follows
Starting point is 00:53:33 and this is I just need to give my Rashomon version of this please and I'm so happy we finally get into this because you guys there was actually a dearth of conflict but there was a sand moment. Yeah, so this is what happened. This is how I remember it. We were packing. This is Rashomon.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Did you say unpacking or packing? We were packing up. And then I lift up a shirt or something. There's a big, this is what was peculiar to me. It was a big sort of consolidated patch of sand yeah like
Starting point is 00:54:07 a mound of sand which makes me think did you like sweep it there i'll tell you what i think happened and i can only this is conjecture okay i think what happened was there was a fuck ton of sand in my converse sneaker and when i took my shoe off dump it out it all came out and sort of like dumped out I can tell you it was not purposeful okay but was it what I think happened yeah I don't think see and the only reason I'm like questioning it or that I was questioning it thank you for telling me is because I'm like Matt wouldn't do that no Matt would not purposefully do that I don't think that that is something a normal person would do right like just dumped out your sandy shoe in the your bedroom and i don't i hope you don't think that i suspect
Starting point is 00:54:50 that no but what i do think and what i intuited from your reaction was that you were thinking in your head one word careless no careless this is again rashman this is what I remember. I see the sand. I go, What is this? I go, Oh my god, what is that? Oh my god, what's that? What is that? And this is how I remember. Rashomon. You said, that's not mine.
Starting point is 00:55:19 I was so fucking drunk probably. This was like during the day. Oh, but we were drinking. No! We were drinking. And so then you go, that's not mine. And I go,
Starting point is 00:55:28 well, it's not mine. And then you were like, doubled down and like made me think that I did. No, okay. I think, can I tell you, I think what was happening was
Starting point is 00:55:35 I thought it was obviously me and I was doing a bit like, nope. And I thought you understood. Sometimes I guess I just think you understand. I'm sorry. I should have understood. Well, anyway, I want you understood sometimes I guess I just think you understand I'm sorry I should have understood well anyway
Starting point is 00:55:48 I want you to know the sand instead of taking out my what do you call it when you vacuum see it's hard for me to find the word that's how little I do it so instead of vacuuming up here I did push it under the couch yeah it's under there
Starting point is 00:56:04 if you want to check. Like, literally. Oh, my God. No, no, no. Don't get close to it, because it'll pull it. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:56:11 No! And it's on me. There's a lot of sand here. It's off the apartment. It's awful. It is so bad. It's literally what stops me from going to the beach.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Just sand. Just sand. And I like it. I want to love it. I want to love it. Okay. Gun to your head. Pick one. Sand or glitter? Oh, sand. Glitter is the most annoying shit ever. So then there's a tier
Starting point is 00:56:37 worse than sand. Glitter. In terms of sticking around? Yeah. Like, here's the thing. If you went to the beach and it was glitter instead of sand you would never get over that i'm going to tell you this now because by the time this episode comes out it will have happened i bought some little flakes it's not glitter it's not confetti i bought little gold silver flakes for tonight's game show for my make an entrance yes do you advise against it? No.
Starting point is 00:57:06 It might get on people. Here's what I'll say. Thank you for telling me. Thank you for being a sister and letting me know that there'll be glitter about. It's not quite. I bought it at Target. I asked where the confetti was.
Starting point is 00:57:16 The best they could do was this. I trust you. It's bigger than glitter. It's not little, little, little particles. It's like little like this big. I trust you. Maintenance at the Bell House may not trust you anymore. I don't want to. I'm already
Starting point is 00:57:27 feuding with no one, Greta. I can't feud with maintenance at the Bell House. No, because at that point, it's like a PR crisis. Then you need to hire crisis management. Then you need to be Disney. Like the fucking studios did. Disney hired let's just say it out loud. Disney has hired, I think it's like a $300,000
Starting point is 00:57:43 position. And it's like a $300,000 position and it's like a crisis management person because they know how badly they're fucking up. Girl just end it. End it.
Starting point is 00:57:54 End the strike now. I said. Studios you better give a fair deal. What if because this episode is already being so publicized because it's the greatest
Starting point is 00:58:04 ep of all time, because of the public feuds, because of the public feuds, this is a huge platform for you. And I think what you just said to the studios will change things. Yeah. And I want them to do something about sand too while they're at it. They probably have the means.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Hey, Joe Biden, why is there sand in my apartment? Kamala. Kamala. Can someone turn that up? The sand going away, I mean. Turn up the sand going away. So you know how one of my new things is TikTok?
Starting point is 00:58:37 Yeah. Yesterday I was on like Kamala impersonation TikTok. Oh my God. I mean, do you think bros broke that open? Yeah, for sure. Because the take- because that girl is that girl that girl that girl is that girl kamala impressions tiktok is so genius was that a big song for you. Five, five, a brown eyes. Smile like the sunrise. Kind of a cunty hook. That was their antidote to,
Starting point is 00:59:09 you know, what would you do? Because what a sad song. What would you do? So City High had to come out with a song that was like, okay, this is a fun,
Starting point is 00:59:16 celebratory, groovy, chill song. Oh, groovy. Should we bring back, should we bring back groovy? Well,
Starting point is 00:59:24 I've been saying from girls, groovy lifestyle. My groovy lifestyle? Because all I want is a groovy lifestyle. What? My groovy lifestyle? My groovy lifestyle? Kiki Bink rolling your groovy lifestyle. My groovy lifestyle?
Starting point is 00:59:41 Wow. So good. That's a great first scene in a pilot. Yep. You always be saying it, Matt. I'm sorry. You. So good. A great first scene in a pilot. Yep. You always be saying that. You love that pilot. I love that pilot. Is it your favorite pilot? It's not my favorite pilot. I don't know what is though. It's a hard question. I mean like everyone says like the
Starting point is 00:59:56 Cheers pilot is perfect. Who's seen the Cheers pilot? I know. In the modern sense like what is the best pilot? Maybe Girls is up there. Oh. I know. What? Modern Family. Modern Family. Oh, I know. Modern Family. Modern Family! Desperate Housewives. Desperate Housewives is a great pilot.
Starting point is 01:00:10 We watched it at New Year's. It just gave. Maybe Grey's Anatomy is a stunning pilot. Grey's Anatomy has a good pilot because there's a cute scene between Christina and Meredith at the end where Christina goes, go to bed. You look like hell. And then Meredith goes, so do you the end where Christina goes, go to bed. You look like hell. And then Meredith goes, so do you.
Starting point is 01:00:28 And then Christina goes, that's not true. That's really good. That's a cute little scene. I love that. That's me and you, Meredith and Christina. Girl. We got everything
Starting point is 01:00:44 in this episode. We have Nikki. We have everything in this episode. We have Nikki. We have Grey's Anatomy. We have Industry Secrets. You want to know why it was like this? Reefer. Reefer. And also because we're at home. We're at home. And I just want to say we're here in my home.
Starting point is 01:00:59 The man who lived here before me. Yeah, we might have to come back here. Okay. Anyway, are you ready to do your out of things so honey i'm ready to do my own things so honey this in that case is bowen yanks i don't think so honey and his time starts now i don't think so honey 3m adhesive or tape in general but especially this 3m shit the kind where you like if you want to hang a hook on a wall that is going to ruin your walls if you need to hide a cord with those little white tubes,
Starting point is 01:01:26 I'm literally scared. Goodbye to your wall, because guess what? You're going to spend upwards of a million dollars fixing up your walls if you leave an apartment like I just did. This shit is too sticky. Goldilocks should have gone in that house
Starting point is 01:01:41 and gone, this 3M stuff is too sticky. This painter's tape is not sticky enough. And that's why we have never found the Goldilocks of tape. Tape is either too much or too little. I need things held together, but not in a way that's going to fucking gorilla grip everything on a surface. Okay?
Starting point is 01:01:59 We just pretend and act like tape is normal when it's too sticky. It's not. If it sticks to you, it's on you forever. And people go to the hospital for this shit. Unstick things now. Make things not as sticky. And that's one minute. Do you understand there's a theme here?
Starting point is 01:02:16 We don't want things sticking to us. Get off us. Get off. It's actually, it's actually real culture number 200. Get off us. Get off. Girl. Get off us. Get off. Girl. Get off us.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Get off. But on a human level, there is nothing worse than like stickiness, than humidity, than things staying on, clinging onto you. I hate it.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Yeah. It's very bad. And I have to say, okay, I know we've sort of beat the drum long enough about our Lexapro, hashtag Lexapro journey. But one of the things that's really tough
Starting point is 01:02:52 in the very beginning is the sweating. The night sweats. Because I struggle with that. And that is sweat being sticky and all over you. It's on the sheets. Now it's over. Now it's over. Now that I've adjusted. But like, that is what, like, I hate waking like- And that is sweat being sticky and all over you. It's on the sheets. Now it's over. Now it's over. Now that I've adjusted.
Starting point is 01:03:06 But like, that is what, like, I hate waking up and being sweaty. I'd rather the room that I'm in be frigid. 68 degrees, that's my preferred temperature for sleeping. That is actually right around the optimal temperature to sleep. That's what I heard. Where did you hear that? I think today's show. Today's show.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Which I'm getting back into. I'm slowly, I'm slowly, okay, you want my progress report for morning show? Yes. I am on season two, episode four. This is where moderating the debates is a big A story. But at this point, Bradley Jackson and Julianna Margulies, I forget her character's name
Starting point is 01:03:44 because she is severely underdeveloped, have hooked up. Yeah. And I will say, season one was like fun, pulpy, campy. Not even campy. Now this, that was the moment when Reese like lunges towards Juliana,
Starting point is 01:04:03 where I go, the third graders have arrived. Yep. This was when I finally, it all made sense to me. Yep. The third graders are here. Yep. This dialogue is crazy. No, the third graders popped off in the second season.
Starting point is 01:04:18 The third graders were writing the first season. I do want to stress. I think they were like auditing the room or something. The teacher had a heavier hand. The teacher had a heavier hand. But in the second season of The Morning Show, the third graders have gone wild. I'm going, the crayons are
Starting point is 01:04:34 on the paper. No, yeah. And it gets even crazier, girl. You're going to when you understand like where it goes in the last couple episodes. Let's just say this. I am so excited for the third season. I am over the moon.
Starting point is 01:04:51 And I just... It can't come soon enough. It cannot come soon enough. It's truly a joy to watch. Well, again, this show has altered something in me where I used to be... I would find it really hard to watch things and sit through things,
Starting point is 01:05:08 especially hour-long TV. No shade. Yes. It was also me being sick. But now that I'm even out of that fugue, I'm like, this is with me. Well, you know why? Why?
Starting point is 01:05:20 Because, and this is just the truth, Jennifer Aniston is the most watchable person in the world. She is the most watchable on screen talent out there. Period. Period. In terms of just like, yep. You are good at watching.
Starting point is 01:05:37 I agree. I completely co-sign. Completely. God, what a star. And even her scenes where the writing, I'm like, wait,
Starting point is 01:05:44 did, what did she just say i'm like but it doesn't matter you are on aniston sells it yeah and here's what i'll say it doesn't fucking hurt that reese is also there that steve carell is there that like this caron pitman that like it's just all a slay but if we're being 100 real why it's jennifer aniston and she should have won an emmy for that first season especially if they were going to give zendaya too right like jennifer aniston ate that up and i say it just because she has no television peer you know what i mean like true that's just the way it is i'll give it a prayer first of all i do think mark duplass
Starting point is 01:06:23 is doing eight consistently eats the cast is so good you know what it a first of all I do think Mark Duplass is doing consistently eats the cast is so good you know what it reminds me of honestly no no no True Blood
Starting point is 01:06:30 True Blood had such it was so insane but the actors doing it were so good that you were like okay
Starting point is 01:06:38 it's just that that was vampires so it could be fucking crazy whereas this tone of this show is also fucking crazy, but it's like grounded
Starting point is 01:06:45 because it's a morning show and you recognize it. But it's somehow spiritually connected for me. That's so interesting. I can't tell how aware it is of its own... When it gets cuckoo.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Of when it gets cuckoo. I don't know, girl, because some shit happens in the later part of this season that you're like, no one thinks this is grounded. Okay, okay. I don't know, girl, because some shit happens in the later part of this season that you're like, no one thinks this is grounded. Okay, okay. I don't quite understand what's going on with Steve Carell's character in Italy with the Italian woman.
Starting point is 01:07:13 I think you're going to see. I'm going to see. Yeah. And it's been ruined for you, right? I mean, from my recaps on the show. Well, does COVID get brought back to the studio? Is the reporter who went to China, is he bringing back COVID? I am not going to answer that question.
Starting point is 01:07:27 I'm going to let the COVID storyline of the morning show season two just unfold for you. I'm just going to let it, I'm just going to let you experience it the way God intended, which was naturally and without impediment of me telling you or reminding you of what actually happens
Starting point is 01:07:41 in this season of TV. Okay. And I stress that it is something I want every reader to be off book on. Every reader. And I rarely give homework. No. And if it means anything that I am now coming in as, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:55 substitute teacher and saying, this is your homework. This is your homework. We are watching the third season together. It is our favorite show. Not to scab and promote a SAG and WGA pod. We're allowed to do a podcast about
Starting point is 01:08:09 culture. Yeah. Should we put in there, Matt and Bowen realize they scab? We're very high, people. Give us a goddamn break. Listen, what an episode. I mean, this was, let me just Google.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Let me just. Yep. The last episode of all time. That's what they're saying. Feels like. The Carol G of episodes. It's the Carol G of episode. It does feel like old school Lost Cult.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Period. Sitting in an apartment. What could be better? What could be better? could be better that sounds sitting in an apartment what could be better rule of culture number two sitting in an apartment
Starting point is 01:08:53 what could be better and with that we do end every episode with a song cheeseburger in paradise heaven on earth
