Las Culturistas calling.
Now, what are they going to talk about today?
That's what all the readers are saying.
Now, what are they going to talk about today?
Well, I'm genuinely asking this question because we are recording this on the same week as last week's episode.
Very near. Very near.
Very near.
And so I do have that, you know, podcaster anxiety, I think.
Oh, I'm not going to have anything to talk about with my co-host,
but I know that's never a challenge with me.
You have PPA.
I don't.
Podcast performance anxiety.
PPA.
Oh my God.
Did we just create? We just created a new contemporary disease, mental illness, PPA.
Oh my God.
Canadian golden shower.
Yes.
Lovers saying PPA.
I'm saying it right now.
This is going to be the best Lost Culture episode of all time today, honey.
I don't doubt it.
I don't doubt it.
Well, there's much to celebrate and remember and reflect upon. Oh, just well what do you want to talk about first listen we can start on a
mournful note i think we have to start on a mournful note because we're recording this on
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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,
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,
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.
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
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...
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.

This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had.
We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13
to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate delusional dreamer and the desperate part, that made a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble.
I encourage delusional dreamers.
Be a delusional dreamer.
Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer.
I just had such an anger.
I was just so mad at life.
Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault,
but mine, I had such a victim mentality.
I took zero accountability for anything in my life.
I was the kid that if you asked what happened,
I immediately started with
everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work.

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

again. No, we got in trouble.
We have to sneak in. That was the Charizard era house
and we got a little, you know, that was when
we talked about the house and quote unquote
made fun of it even though we didn't. I'm on my
knees begging them to forgive us.
They did and ultimately it was fine but it was. Because though he didn't. I'm on my knees begging them to forgive us. They did, and ultimately it was fine, but it was...
Because that house is stunning.
I've had rough parties there on weeks where I was not staying in that house.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where it was like every G-Queen you've ever met was present.
I mean, yes, but also it's like, it's about how you fill the house yourself.
You know, when you fill the house with love.
Oh, I will. That house will always be very special to me. Ooh!, when you fill the house with love. Oh, I will,

Camp Rock 2, the final jam,
premiered 13 years ago. I was never
a Camp Rock kid. I actually,
for some reason, the YouTube wormhole
that I've fallen into is like Disney kids and like Disney kids when they first appeared on Ellen.
And it's so funny that Camp Rock was such a sensation that Demi Lovato was huge because
it really wasn't that girl. Like High School Musical was that girl. Camp Rock was not that
girl. Camp Rock was not. Who literally watched Camp Rock?
Can I actually throw that question out there?
You're going to get millions of responses.
Seriously?
We were in that window where it would not have been cool to watch it, I think.
We were like at that age.
We're like, oh, you watched Camp Rock.
High School Musical, I remember.
It worked because I was in high school. High School Musical hit me so hard.
I think we were like right in college as Camp Rock.
Yep.
13 years ago. So what is that? Like 2010. Yeah. So then we were like right in college as camp rock yep 13 years ago so what
is that like 2010 yeah then we were in college you're right we were like trying to be cool
college students in new york wearing black smoking cigarettes you know what i mean yeah so that's the
reason no people people fucking worship this shit yeah they truly love camp rock there's people out
there that truly love it and i'm really excited to hear from you. And I want you to be really
forceful with me. Beep. That I don't
know it. Bust me around.

prompt of wearing silver.
Thank you, Issa. A lot of you LA girls
followed the prompt very well. I saw
you, but I also saw, and can I say,
denim. And can I say something?
I understand you want to wear denim.
No, Matt, you gotta let them wear
denim. No, no, mama, because it's

sort of like. There's going to be huge hits on this album.
Oh definitely. I can
feel it. She's not going to fuck this up.
She's saying this is going to live

Woo!
I just love that it's straight up called Pink
Friday too. Like she wasn't trying to do this like blueprint thing
like Jay Z

pink print like literally but I'm saying this is
like her confidently being like
I'm following up
the thing
right through the iconography

It's honestly taking something from Mariah.
You can't be putting a butterfly in your video and not be thinking about it,
especially a monarch.
Especially a monarch.
This song is about Mariah.
I wish I would have hugged you tighter.
The last time that I saw you.
The last time I saw you.
I bet she thinks about the times when she and Mariah were like friends.
Because up out my face, they were getting along.
Oh my God.
Up out my face, the video with the two of them.
Like they are smiling, having a good time.
Like kiki-ing.
Like Mariah.
Ooh. Like they are smiling, having a good time, like kiki-ing, like Mariah. Ooh!
Maybe I pushed you away because I thought that I'd end that long, long space and then bore you.

Las Culturistas episodes
of all time.
And here we are
at the halfway point.
Dead ass.
Here we are at the halfway point

In the prime of her life, she is living in England.
What is she doing now?
Let's see. 2016 to present.
Oh, she's just kind of out there.
She's out there.
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?
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
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
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,
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.
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?
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Cheers to being Germanic.
With the Real Housewives of Potomac.

It's gonna be amazing.
New York City.
Everyone is a gossip.
No one gets out of here alive.
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.

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 Gonzalez.
Elian.
Elian.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. 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,

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 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,

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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
We say,
uh,
yeah,
never heard back.
Can I just say,
if you reach out and we go,
yeah,
yeah,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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
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...
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
I don't trust her.

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
on this
the greatest
lost culture
he's designed
of all time
and his time
starts now
I Don't Think So Honey
sand
currently
in my apartment
no
there is sand
and guess what
we're actually miles
and miles away
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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,
celebratory,
groovy,
chill song.
Oh,
groovy.
Should we bring back,
should we bring back groovy?
Well,
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
I agree.
I completely co-sign.
Completely.
God,
what a star.
And even her scenes where the writing,
I'm like,
wait,
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
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
True Blood
had such
it was so insane
but the actors
doing it
were so good
that you were like
okay
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
what could be better
and with that
we do end
every episode
with a song
cheeseburger
in paradise
heaven on earth
and an onion slice
not too particular
not too precise
cheeseburger in paradise
rest in peace Jimmy
smoke a J drink a Marg Rest in peace, Jimmy.
Smoke a J.
Drink a Marg. Good night, everybody! Today's 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.
I was a desperate delusional dreamer.
