This fall on Bravo.
It's time to turn up.
Think you've seen it all?
I don't think you've been a good friend to me lately.
We're friends like that, who needs enemies?
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 a happier life.
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+.
Let's have a real good time.
Welcome to Gracias Come Again, a podcast by Honey German,
where we get real and dive straight into todo lo actual y viral.
We're talking music, los premios, el chisme, and all things trending in my cultura.
I'm bringing you all the latest happening in our entertainment world
and some fun and impactful interviews with your favorite Latin artists, comedians,
actors, and influencers. Each week, we get deep and raw life stories, combos on the issues that
matter to us, and it's all packed with gems, fun, straight up comedia, and that's a song that only
nuestra gente can sprinkle. Listen to Gracias Come Again on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm NK, and this is Basket Case.
What is wrong with me?
A show about the ways that mental illness is shaped by not just biology.
Swaps of different meds.
But by culture and society.
By looking closely at the conditions that cause mental distress,
I find out why so many of us are struggling to feel sane, what we can do about it, and why we
should care. Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S.
elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.
But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast,
I'll share what the science really shows,
that we're surprisingly more united than most people think.
We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics,
and that we need to do better and that we can do better.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Forever!
Dog!
Look, Matt.
Where?
Oh, I see.
Wow.
Bowen, look over there.
Wow, is that culture?
Yes.
Goodness.
Wow.
Las Culturistas.
Ding dong, Las Culturistas calling
How are you?
I'm great, I want to know what your brain chemistry is right now
Because you
Faulty
Someone partied last night
Someone did
What happened?
Well, okay, so
Do you know this party, Horse Meat Disco?
I'm familiar, I've been
It's awful, it's great, it's beautiful
It's terrible, It's disgusting.
Here's my theory about
New York versus LA. Everyone hang
on. I think there are 8
million gay men in New York
and there are 32 gay men in Los Angeles.
You've made this statement before.
That's not true. It is.
There's 32 types of gay men
in Los Angeles and there's 8 million
types of gay men in New Angeles and there's 8 million types of gay men in New York.
Explain.
It's just a comment on...
No, it's just like, you know...
Yes, it's a comment on...
Go ahead, go ahead.
It's a comment on diversity and inclusion.
Yes, honey!
No!
No, I think LA's very...
We went to Ospinoff in the spring.
Yeah, I have a problem.
I don't love circuit parties, but I will go to them.
This might be my IDTSH later.
Maybe, maybe.
But it feels like such an easy target.
But the thing is...
But we go anyway.
We're going tonight.
One of our guests went to one last night.
Our other guest and I went to this truly deserted bar in Bushwick.
And it felt like we were in the Midwest.
Did it feel like World Pride?
It did not feel like World Pride.
And I just had to banter.
Miss Jade was there.
She's fantastic.
And hi, Miss Jade.
And she and I just openly were having a conversation with each other in front of the audience.
What?
There was like 13 people there total.
You wouldn't believe.
What?
The two celebrities that were at this event last night.
Who? Tell me.
Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper.
Wow.
Best friends.
AC.
AC and AC.
Listen, here's the thing
Who are our guests
Our guests
I throw this word around all the time
But I really love them
Jejun
Jejun was back in 2016
When I was trying to be like
I'm a smart comedian with big words
And I was trying to make Jejun happen
Very big word Now go on I'm a smart comedian with big words. Yes. I was trying to make it happen. Big word.
Very big word.
Now go on.
No, I love our two guests so much.
I'm excited about this episode.
I'm really excited about this episode
because I'm excited about the show
that they created and wrote and star in.
I love it a lot.
It's so fucking good.
It literally is inspired by Saturday morning cartoons.
We can talk about this more,
but it has that cartoonish cadence
of joke, joke, joke, joke, joke.
Yeah.
And it's just not even,
and sometimes it's not even jokes.
It's just like a performance from Gregoria.
That's much,
and I will say,
I think she's my favorite character.
I was just going to say,
I love the two characters played by our guests.
But I think Gregoria is my favorite character.
She was discovered on the beach.
She was discovered on the beach.
And also in the most recent episode, she's in the first scene and she takes her heels off and then she walks to the bed still as if she discovered on the beach. She was discovered on the beach. And also in the most recent episode,
if she's in the first scene and she takes her heels off and then she walks
to the bed still as if she's wearing the heels.
Which I love.
Barbie feet.
Barbie feet.
And the end of this episode,
she's getting pitches for stories from her team.
Yes.
A spider makes a web that looks like the Virgin Mary in a tattoo parlor.
And so the people don't want to get tattoos because the Virgin Mary doesn't
like it.
I also love when she
accepted calls
from the audience
and they said,
is Satan real?
And she said,
yes, he's real.
He calls every day.
But then the line
that she says to her staff
after they...
She left a quote
back at the show
to the people
that created it.
I know.
I'm sorry.
But this is just
for the listeners.
This is for the listeners.
Not for them.
She hears this news story
and she goes,
I've heard it
and it's the truth.
I'll report it tomorrow.
And laughed and laughed.
It's so good.
What goodness.
Oh, it's called Los Espookys.
We didn't even say the title.
It's called Los Espookys.
Fridays.
Fridays on HBO.
At 11 p.m. on HBO.
Oh, the best time.
It's so good.
And then online.
And then online.
And then also online.
It's actually a little culture.
It's also online. It's also online. It's also online. And then online. And then also online. You know, it's actually a rule of culture. It's also online.
It's also online.
Rule of culture number 14.
It's also online.
They're so, so, so, so perfect.
We love them so much.
Please welcome into your ears,
Ana Fabrega and Julio Torres.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi, welcome.
Okay, so we're all like,
just really quickly before we talk about the show,
Ana, you just went to a circuit party last night.
We're going to go to one tonight.
How do we all feel about circuit parties?
I've never heard the term circuit party.
And thank you for posing this.
I guess Poppy Juice isn't.
How do you define?
Circuit parties are like.
Yeah, I wouldn't call Poppy Juice a circuit party.
Poppy Juice probably isn't a circuit party.
Because Bubble Tea isn't a circuit party.
There you go.
What is a circuit party. Poppy Juice probably isn't a circuit party. Because Bubble Tea isn't a circuit party. There you go.
What is a circuit party?
I think a circuit party is lots of people mushed together.
Probably shirtless.
Probably shirtless.
And the music doesn't have any words.
Yeah.
And it's more like...
And actually, the party tonight is not... Devil's Playground is not going to be a circuit party.
And also, last night, Horse Me Disco, there were plenty of words in the music.
And I love that.
I don't like to dance to music with no words.
How do you feel about this?
I prefer words.
Because how do you connect?
Julio, words?
I'll take words, yeah.
You'll take words, and it seems like you're inferring you'll also take merely sounds.
I'll take merely sounds as well
but then what's the preference
you have to have a preference
I guess maybe no words
oh
is this because you as a creative person
are creating the own words in your head
as a writer
I need a canvas
you need a canvas
I get that
I'm so sorry.
Poppy Juice is not a circuit party.
Well, I think that
we are all saying that the parties that we go
to are not circuit parties because circuit party
has such a negative connotation, right?
We're like, oh, we surely don't go to circuit parties.
Yes, but they are. Surely not the one that
Anna went to, not the one that I'm going to.
You described the party that you were at last night
as when it hit 1.30, it became, quote, unbearable.
Well, I mean, that party always when it gets,
you know, because that's when like other people roll up
at like 1.30.
Yes.
And it's packed.
Yeah, it's packed.
You know, but if you're there already and you're drunk,
you're like, whatever.
But I wasn't that drunk.
So I was just like, this is too full now.
Yeah.
I'm getting tired
it's amazing what you'll tolerate
with even a little bit
of substance in you
and it's intolerable situations
yeah
that you normally
would never put yourself
in
no
I also like
we were just talking
well I don't know
listener, reader
you might be in New York
it is the summer
it is hot
and we were discussing
how we don't like
to be this way
and those parties
are famously hot
famously
but
famously hot
the technology
isn't there yet
to cool the room
to cool the room
they don't have that yet
there's no solution
yeah you can't
the rooms are just
merely too big
merely too big
merely?
merely
simply too big
yeah thanks
speaking of rooms
you two wrote the whole show yourself
no rooms and you were talking about i think we don't have to actually get into this like
legal discussion about let's get into a legal discussion um for the next season but um i think
i think it's just so it's so like you guys what am i saying there's like there's this like obsession with like auteurship that's happening right now i think in comedies and i think that you guys, what am I saying? There's like, there's this like obsession
with like auteurship
that's happening right now,
I think in comedies.
And I think that you guys like,
it's a show that is like you,
it's just you two
and it's like so clearly,
obviously and wonderfully you two,
but it's like,
you don't get caught up
in like the preciousness of like,
well, what do we have to like do
to make sure we keep some identity to this?
You know, like you guys like,
we're just typing and typing,
typing and joking, joking, joking, joking, joking.
Typing and typing and typing.
Yeah.
And just laughing.
And just laughing.
Laughing and giggling.
Yeah.
Fred gave us the seed.
He came up with the idea.
He wanted, he was very into doing a show that was sent Latin America about friends.
Or he actually, originally Mexico specifically, about friends who were into horror makeup.
And then he gave us the seed.
And then we watered it.
And then we're like, oh, this is not just that.
It's also weird.
And here it is. And now that's the show. Yeah. And here it is.
And now that's the show.
Yeah.
That's cool.
And
we had
two beautiful consultants
that were like,
this is what makes sense.
This
doesn't make
that much sense.
They came over
for like a week.
Yeah.
And you said
after that week,
now you can go.
Now you can go.
What was them though? You you can go. What was...
You've been eliminated.
What was...
No, they were fantastic.
You eliminated them.
What didn't make sense
that they told you didn't make sense?
Well, no, nothing didn't make sense.
It wasn't from them.
Nothing didn't make sense.
It was more like
rearrange this in a way.
Yeah, to help the story
be stronger.
There are...
Narrative consultants. all that boring stuff.
Yeah, no, it was a narrative consultant.
A narrative consultant.
But you know,
we're only three episodes in
at the time of this recording.
Yeah, soon there'll be a fourth.
Soon there'll be a fourth or even a fifth in two weeks.
Well, I heard there's going to be six.
Yeah.
I clocked, I'm like,
I clocked this thing that's happening
where you're just like,
oh, I didn't realize this person would be serialized.
I didn't realize Pepito was going to be.
I love Pepito.
The return of Pepito.
Will Pepito return?
After episode three?
Not in this season.
Not in this season.
Wow.
But we have ideas.
We have ideas.
Also, I want to shout out
Greta Teitelman
is killing
and I was going to say
Greta you think
well Greta
no she leaves
on a cliffhanger
in episode 2
yes

Chelsea, my sister's name.
Who's that the one who moved
to Chile?
And Katie McCracken.
Katie McCracken.
And Katie McCracken.
Is the character's name?
The actress's name.
I feel that you would
give a character the name
of Chelsea.
Chelsea.
No, their names in the show are...
American Ambassador Melanie Gibbons.
Melanie Gibbons.
Melanie Gibbons has four assistants,
and their names are Chrissy, JJ,
and then one of the names of the other one.
Chrissy.
I also love that John's name is
Mark Stevens
Mark
the CEO
of Yerba Light
Mark Stevens
you gotta love
I love to name
naming characters
is one of my favorite
things to do
oh yeah
what's the
mysterious woman's
alleged name
she just called
mysterious woman
doesn't she reveal
her name
she reveals her name
and everyone thinks
that there is a joke
that they are not getting
but there is no joke
it's just a
it's just a funny name
Dinora Jueves
Dinora Jueves
which is
Dinora Jueves
Tuesday
Thursday
Thursday
Dinora Thursday
so you cast
a lot of the actors
out of Chile
yes
so
the
Ursula and Ronaldo
who are the other leads
are played by
Bernardo and Cassandra
who are from Mexico
so is my boyfriend
on the show
he's from Mexico
yes
and then the rest of them
Juan Carlos named
after the cookies
Juan Carlos named
after the cookies
yes
but the rest of them
are like perfect
Chilean actors
yeah
and did you audition
when you went down
or did you get tapes
or like we got tapes.
Yeah.
And then actually
was the only actor
that we were like,
we have to bring him in
because this role
has been so difficult.
Nobody could understand
no one.
No one got it quite right.
And then he was just
so perfect.
Yeah.
The way his belt
was all the way up
to like his belly button
and just like he looked
glossy in the right kind of way.
Glossy in the right kind of way.
You have to be glossy in the right kind of way.
That was very good casting for Pepito.
Overall good casting. The mysterious woman.
I just love when she comes down the stairs and she's like
you just see, hey what's up?
She's so good.
She can greet people.
She's really good. Also greet people she's really good
she can greet people
also
wait
how did Joel Kim Booster
describe the show
he was like
it's like a much more
sketch with a budget
that is
that is what he said
because we were saying
it's like so Julio
that it's like
we recall
the days of much more
is much more
rest in peace
it's alright P
I think it's
oh no no no
it's still around
it's around
but no one goes to shows there
because they employ sexual harassment.
Really?
Right.
Oh, I did not know this.
It's a fucked up situation.
I got it confused
with Over the 8 for a second,
which is the first time I saw Anna.
Which is gone.
Which is R.I.P.
Yeah, and it's a Mexican restaurant now.
It's a Mexican restaurant
now that I went to
and they have good guacamole.
I went once, yeah,
and it was all right.
It wasn't bad.
Yeah, it wasn't bad,
but it wasn't great.
But that's all Mexican restaurants
in New York.
In that area,
especially where it's like,
you know, expensive.
Like, here's modern Mexican food.
Yeah, no.
Chic Mexican food.
But you said they kind of
nailed the guacamole?
Kind of nailed the guacamole.
Well, it's actually
real culture number 44.
You have to nail the guacamole.
I remember Anna Fabrega just at over the eight,
just going through her slides, her Photoshop work,
and it was just like, oh, wow, this is perfect.
And then you see it on the show.
Are you, Anna, are you like, I'm having like, I'm playing this game in my head as it like on the show are you and are you like i'm having like i'm playing this game in
my head as i'm watching the show where i'm like oh is that did anna write that or did julia write
that which is like so it's so sick that you do that they write it together they're collaborators
this is that snl bullshit i know that snl bullshit are you guys writing like to each other's
characters or is it is it like does is there characters? Or will it gravitate more towards you write for Tati and you write for Andres?
I think primarily we write for the people that we specifically created.
But I love writing Tati stuff.
And then you like writing Andres stuff.
Yeah.
So we're both staff writers in each other's world.
Yes, you work for each other.
Yes.
How well do you know each other?
Let's play a game.
Oh, wait.
Do you have a, do you have like.
No, this game will come from my brain.
Can you imagine if I whipped out like a game?
I was so sure that you had like index cards.
No, no, no.
No, the game will come from your mind.
The game will come from my mind.
Let us play a game.
Honestly, if they were to be index cards, that also would have come from my mind
because I would have written something down.
Let us play the game.
Okay, so what is Anna's astrological sign?
She's a Leo.
Is that true?
True.
And now answer that question about Julio.
He's an Aquarius.
Famously an Aquarius.
Compatible.
Wow.
These are very compatible?
These are very compatible astrological signs, yes.
Good, good, good.
You will be unsurprised to hear
that Bowen and I are also very
compatible
what are yours
Scorpio
Pisces
oh
okay great
what is that O
Scorpio
Scorpio
Pisces
you gotta watch them
no you really don't
I'm a pretty
I'm a pretty
unthreatening Scorpio
what's your
your rising
your rising is
Libra which I guess means I does you're moon my rising is Libra
which I guess means
does that mean I present
as a Libra
yeah
and okay so then
that might explain it
but then my
moon is Gemini
which is also like
oh
oh
and I'm a Pisces
Cancer Pisces
water water water
water water water
emotional
cries a lot
oh but like
don't hurt my feelings
I just found this Joel was telling me that CoStar the CoStar app is like bad what Water, water, water, water, water. Emotional. Cries a lot. Don't hurt my feelings.
I just found this.
Joel was telling me that the CoStar app is bad.
What?
It's bad people.
I was hearing you say this.
Yeah.
No, but because what is your phrasing? Because they just.
It's the fuck Jerry of the.
It's the fuck Jerry of astrology because they just pull all this work from actual astrologers
into like an algorithm.
And then they just like, they'll be like, oh, here's your chart and here's your day like it's very like
here are your transits and it's like all work that other people have done you're canceling
everything today you're canceling coastal you're canceling everything west hollywood
yeah the second round of the game will begin now okay okay and what is Julio's ideal vacation destination?
Well, it depends It could be a city
We could be in Berlin
Or we can be on an island in Greece
Where we're going to
Antiparos
Wait, what?
Oh, yes, I heard you were going to Greece
Yes, so Greta Teitelman
Who plays American Ambassador Melanie Gibbons
Has picked an island
in Greece
for Anna and I
to enjoy four days
of luxury
wait is Greta
meeting you there
yes
perfect
her father lives in Greece
oh
yes
yes
and you showed me
pictures of the island
yes I did
it looks beautiful
wait but also
but also
we could be at
a waterfall
with Julio's vacation
yes
yeah definitely in the rainforest there was something that I every time But also we could be at a waterfall with Julio's vacation. Yeah, definitely.
In the rainforest.
There is something that every time that I go into a hotel,
I get really nervous that my room won't have views of either sky or sea.
Because if it doesn't,
there is a 75% chance that I will ask for a room change.
Yeah.
I was going to say,
you seem to me the type where if you were to open the blinds and it was
like the back of a building,
that isn't now.
Absolutely not.
Okay.
So I,
and this is,
this was actually,
um,
a rude awakening for me when I,
uh,
you know,
uh,
the assassination of Jenny Versace,
the TV show.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes. In it, Andrew Cunanan, the TV show. Yes, yes, yes. Yes.
In it,
Andrew Cunanan,
psychopath, right?
Oh, absolutely.
Like,
I'm not afraid
to burn that bridge.
No, murder Andrew Cunanan.
It's actually
rule of culture number 102.
Andrew Cunanan
is a psychopath.
I don't care
what anyone says.
Yeah.
Because I heard you
defending him earlier,
but I...
He's burned everyone except Andrew Panana.
Except Andrew, actually.
I love him.
There's a scene, which I don't know if this is poetic, if you can call that.
He books a hotel room.
He books a hotel room, and he opens the windows to his beautiful hotel room in South Beach,
and he sees that there's a wall.
And then he just composes himself.
And then he goes downstairs, and he's like, excuse me.
Might you be able to?
And, like, the way he says it, I was like, wow, that is me.
And you know what?
I bet he got his room changed, and that was a metaphor.
That guy was able to talk his way into anything.
He was a psychopath.
Well, are you
walk us through how you go about
requesting the room change
do you call down do you go down
okay so usually
I'll check into a hotel room
and then chances are that my boyfriend
is present
most of the time
hello John
John hello thank you for saving me at
the gym that one time oh uh and i'll go in and then john knows that it's coming and he's dreading
it and then i open the blinds and then john is standing behind me not putting the suitcase down
because he knows that there's a chance that we might change
and then he he'll go like all right okay okay all right uh good impression uh and then he
uh and then i turned to him almost like saying would it be crazy and then and uh then I just try to compose myself. I'll sit down in the bed and I'll dial the lobby.
And then I say, is it possible?
Would it be at all possible?
And can I add to that?
And to maybe go higher in the building.
Yeah, absolutely.
You know this. As far away from the building. Yeah. Absolutely. You know this.
You know this.
As far away from the ground as possible.
Right, right, right.
Close to the sky.
Close to the sky.
Or the sea.
Close to the sky or the sea.
Well, if you go, oh, yeah, if you go up, then you get more sky, of course.
Or get more sea.
Okay, Julia, what's Anna's ideal vacation spot?
I don't, just before you even say, I don't even know what that answer is.
Well, you don't know. You'll respond. You don't just before you even say I don't even know what that answer is well you don't know
you'll respond
you don't know
yeah
so I can at least
it's very intuitive
this one
I can at least
present pieces
of the puzzle
yeah
we'll do that
yeah
okay
activities
yeah
well
after rapping in Chile
I went to Rio
right
and then Anna wasn't so warm on the, I went to Rio. Right.
And then Ana wasn't so warm on the idea of going to Rio.
This was not as attractive to her as it was to me.
And then she decided to go to Buenos Aires, which to me made sense because it's a crisper climate.
Yes.
It is metropolitan but orderly.
Yes.
In a way that I think Anna responds to.
She also really liked being in Santiago.
I think maybe more than I did.
Because, again, very metropolitan and orderly.
Very civilized people.
I like those Brazilians.
There's no, like, it is a very or really hustle and bustle
it's not like
it doesn't have
people know
their place
people know
where they're
supposed to be
like on the
train
but
Anna did not
have the best
time in
Buenos Aires
really
well
because
the homophobia
there
is
palpable
wow
really
I guess that makes sense and the machismo is like so strongly felt there The homophobia there is palpable. Wow. Really?
I guess that makes sense.
And the machismo is so strongly felt there in a way that I couldn't believe.
Really?
Yeah.
And it's supposed to be a very gay-friendly city. I was going to say.
So when I got there, I was traveling with someone, and just the looks that we would
get, because people would be like, oh, you look like you're gay. Yeah, yeah.
Was insane.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I think if Buenos Aires has a progressive place
and like,
they've had like female prime ministers
or presidents and stuff,
it's like,
well, I don't know.
I don't know if that's like a...
Is it a very religious place?
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
Yeah, I think all those places
are vaguely religious.
Sure.
Oh, that sucks.
I'm sorry.
Yeah. But I will say I loved, I went to Pucon, which is.
Yes.
That was like, oh, wow, this is my kind of vacation.
Also, and you didn't get to go to the Atacama Desert.
Yes.
But I believe that you would really like that.
Yeah, I like, like what I liked about Bucon is that the hotel I was staying at
was on this lake,
this giant lake.
And the property was so big
and you could just sit outside
and look at the lake
and like,
I didn't have to like
leave the hotel really.
It was like the most relaxing.
You like peace and quiet
in your vacations.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You like peace and quiet
in your vacations.
I wanted to,
I want to see some beautiful landscapes.
I want there to not be
that many people.
A lake sounds so good right now.
A lake is actually...
Can I tell you
one psychopathic thing
I did in Rio
that involved a delt?
Who not an ass?
Did you hate Rio?
No.
No, I loved it.
I loved it in Rio.
I got it.
But I loved Rio
but I, you know,
fully aware that I saw it
through the lens
of a tourist
with some money.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where it's like, oh, no one's homophobic here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are they talking about?
Rio is thriving. The Brazilians are thriving.
So I
went alone. I was in Rio alone.
Right.
And I
checked into my hotel and it was great.
I saw a beautiful view of the mountain.
Yes.
I saw the mountain.
I saw some city.
And I saw the beach.
Wow.
It was perfect.
Great.
But then I'm like, well, I want to go to the beach.
I don't want to just see the beach.
I want to go to the beach.
Uh-huh.
And my hotel was pretty far away from the beach.
Okay.
And everyone was like, don't, you can't like go to the beach alone and leave your stuff unattended and just go into the ocean.
Then you're just asking for trouble.
Absolutely.
Oh, okay. asking for trouble absolutely okay uh and then i i did three exploratory days to the beach
where i couldn't go into the ocean i was just testing the waters and see and like how do i do
this how do i do this i booked a different hotel room across the beach that's actually something
i that's not psychopathic, but that's a good idea.
It's not a bonyang thing.
One time in Rio,
I had two hotel rooms.
Yes, I would do that.
Oh my God.
I would have done the same thing.
Somewhere to put your bag down.
Somewhere to put my rings
and my bag down.
It's like, yes,
checking in for one, yes.
Now, how long were you there?
Did you sleep in different,
did you spread out the
sleeping nights well first I was
like oh maybe I can like you know
sleep in one but go have breakfast in the other
one of course
it's crazy no the other one was
just a locker essentially
disgusting
wow that's really the dream I think
that is the dream and you
just wrapped a show that you you you were just wrapped a show
that you made and were in get a second hotel make sure that like a family who's dying to go to the
vacation last minute can't
is it possible to get a room change no we, we actually just had Julio Torres on HBO. No, actually, this small gay man
needed a place
to put his bag.
Wait.
Also, in this last episode,
Juan Carlos,
he kept saying manitas,
like little hands.
I love little hands.
Do you have little hands?
I don't think you have little hands.
Well, I think I have hands
that are proportional to my body.
I have five nine for the listeners.
They're not big hands.
They're completely fine.
But also Juan Carlos says it in a like authoritative,
yeah, patronizing way.
Yes, yes, yes.
So Juan Carlos, I think, sees Andres as this little child king,
who he must court.
I love when the ring falls off the finger
and he goes,
well, you have to make a fist
like this.
You make a fist at all times.
He's so funny.
Yeah, he's a good one.
He was very good.
Okay, continuing with the game.
What does a conflict
between the two of you
look like?
Oh.
Oh.
I feel like
probably easily
sorted out.
Yeah, you guys don't seem like
I think there's
disagreements
right
there is like
maybe parts of
like doing this show
that it's like
well this well
that hmm
and then
we involve a third party
I see
this is a healthy thing
to do
yeah
to be a tiebreaker
but then I feel like
the like I can't think
of a time where we were
like just disagreed so much
that I thought about it after.
Yeah.
You know?
No, it always ends.
Okay.
Yeah.
Let's do that then.
That is healthy.
That's very healthy.
Who's the third party, Fred?
Was he around during like
a lot of the writing?
Sometimes it's Fred.
It's usually,
if it's a Spookies,
it'll be like probably a producer.
Mm-hmm.
Got it.
Nate Young.
Alice Mathias.
Who are these people to tell us? These could be names in the Young. Alice Mathias.
Who are these people to tell us? These could be names in the show.
These are names.
Nate Young is a brilliant line producer,
and Alice Mathias is a perfect producer on the show.
God bless the line producers, you know?
They make it happen.
They really do.
They do.
They really friggin' do.
I actually don't know what the difference
between all the different types of producers are.
A line producer handles the budget.
I see.
And then Alice is accessible for more creative issues on the show.
Like the wig fiasco.
Yes.
Oh, the wig fiasco.
Who's wig?
This is Greta's wig.
This was Greta's wig.
Tell us. It's an iconic wig. I will say? Was it Greta's wig? This was Greta's wig. Tell us.
It's an iconic wig.
I will say that this was no one's fault.
Okay.
Okay.
I will start by saying that this is no one's fault.
But.
It was Greta's fault.
It was Greta's fault.
No.
Greta comes.
It's her first day of shooting.
And then our director aptly diagnoses
that Greta should wear a wig.
Okay.
Why?
A lot of actresses wear wigs.
Literally almost all actresses wear wigs,
and also didn't you want like a bleach blonde moment at all times?
She would have had to be getting her hair touched up
and it would have destroyed her hair.
Greta would have had to severely bleach her hair,
like truly like every four days.
And then, of course, Greta was like, maybe wigs.
And then there were so many things going on.
And in Chile
Not that many wigs
Oh wow
You can't just buy a wig the way you can here
There's a wig store in every corner
So we
And there were so many great wigs available
However we wanted
We just wanted Greta's hair
It's Melanie's hair
It's Melanie's hair. It's Melanie's hair.
So they
find a wig
and they cut it and they style it
and I'm looking at it and I'm like
I kind of feel fine with it
and this wig has bangs.
This wig has bangs.
And then I was like
can we get rid of the bangs?
And they were like no because it's, they explained to me the infrastructure of bangs.
Right.
And how, like, they're the foundation of the haircut.
And if you cut the bangs, the whole building falls out.
Bangs famously have to grow out.
Yes.
The infrastructure of bangs is running for town.
So I was like, okay, well, I guess Melanie has bangs.
And Greta was like, great, cool.
And then she looked beautiful.
She looked stunning.
She looked great. She looked like Greta with bangs
yes
and then she's doing a scene and I'm looking
at the monitor and I
hate it yeah and I hate it
so much and it just
feels like it's not who we
envisioned it makes the character
seem really fake
yes yeah she looks
she looks Natalie Portman
in Closer.
She looks sexy
in an alias
sort of way.
In that kind of
like imposter
Charlie's Angels.
Charlie's Angels.
Yeah.
Et cetera, et cetera.
Yeah.
So then
they're like,
well, we can get a different wig
but not for today
and I was like okay
let us reshoot
the hall
and they're like no
Julio no
let us reshoot
let us bring
we will come to this location
two hours away
from the city again
only so we can have her
with no bangs
and they were like
Julio no
so then she wears bangs for some of the Only so we can have her with no bangs. And they were like, Julio, no.
So then she wears bangs for some of her scenes and no bangs for some of her other scenes.
Because everything, this was happening in that house, that big mansion where the inheritance care was taking place.
So all those scenes there have bangs.
And all her scenes in the embassy have no bangs. And then we resolved that Melanie was going to ask an assistant,
should I get bangs?
And this assistant says yes.
And thus Melanie ends up hitting this assistant.
And then we wrote a line saying,
everyone told me I couldn't undo bangs,
but no one says no to American ambassador Melanie Gibbons.
And then she just ended her bangs.
Then that's perfect.
Then you solved it
through the writing.
Through the power of
the page.
Don't ever say
it can't be done
on the power of the page.
And honestly,
the power of the page,
front runner for title of app.
The power of the page
or the infrastructure of bangs.
The infrastructure of bangs
is also a good title of app,
I would agree.
Yes.
Okay, yeah,
because I remember
in the first,
yeah, in her first scene,
which I'm sure you guys
shot later, but I was just like, oh yeah, but i was just like oh yeah but the bangs are a plot point the bangs are a
plot they became a bangs became part of her arc and also just like fundamental to uh so so
ambassador melanie gibbons i think becomes a sort of like cat woman figure and that she's a friend
and foe to los espugis yes so i. So I think that the Bangs fiasco
is sort of like
her falling off the building
and the cats licking her.
It's like the beginning
of something dark.
We just talked about that scene.
We literally just talked
about Batman Returns
and how it's like
one of the best comic book movies.
But specifically the scene
where she falls off the building
and the cats lick her.
And the cats lick her to life.
So good.
Have you seen Batman Returns
I think you would love
I think so
I probably have
that was the one that came out
in like 2004
this was truly 1992
this is old
oh okay
I don't think I've seen that
yeah
Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman
oh no I haven't seen it
I've only seen Halle Berry
as Catwoman
oh you've only seen
and Anne Hathaway
of course
of course you're obsessed with Halle Berry as Catwoman you Oh, you've always... And Anne Hathaway. Of course. Of course.
You're obsessed with Halle Berry as Catwoman.
You are for Halloween every year?
Yeah, every year.
Every year.
I'm specifically Halle Berry as Catwoman.
Dress up as the iconic Halle Berry Catwoman.
What is that little beep, beep, beep?
It's a little alarm.
It's a prep alarm for a prep that I don't have anymore.
Why don't you have prep anymore?
Because my insurance doesn't...
My SAG insurance doesn't
cover it. No, no, no. Go to
out of the closet and
And then they just do the copay for you
or whatever? Actually, I don't know.
See, I mean, now it's all over the place now. Don't put out misinformation
to our largely gay fan base.
Don't believe us.
Prep should be, okay.
I don't take it and I'm fine.
Yeah, and it's fine. Someone, take it and I'm fine Yeah Anna's fine
Someone
Were you and I talking about this
Prep for women
A woman was like I want to take prep
Taylor Swift is getting on prep
I think Anna
Swift is on prep
She's that much of an ally
I don't care what it does to my liver
I just want to be safe
I don't care about all the potassium
I heard every queer is doing it I don't care about all the potassium.
I heard every queer is doing it.
I think it's an
Anna Fabrega character
for a cis straight
white woman
to be like,
I insist on taking PrEP.
You never know.
You never know.
You never know
what can happen.
That's actually
rule of culture number 17.
You never know
what can happen.
Wait, but I have
mentioned this before.
I think it's,
why, so what time is it?
It is now 2 p.m.
Yes, why 2?
Why a pill at 2 p.m.?
Because I know I'll be awake.
Are you always out and about?
Sometimes, if I want to sleep in, sometimes I'll, like, I'll be up at 2.
But doesn't that mean that every day of your life, you have to put the prep in your bag?
That's fine.
It's a small pill.
It's a small pill.
I don't understand.
I'm like a morning, I take my vitamins in the back. That's fine. It's a small pill. It's a small pill. I don't understand.
I'm like a morning.
I take my vitamins in the morning.
But you religiously wake up at like six in the morning
every morning.
Right.
See, I'm not like that.
And so like,
I started taking PrEP when we were-
You don't fluctuate.
Yeah, usually not.
You don't have days
that are like seven in the morning.
No, I can't imagine
waking up at noon.
We have week.
No, that's my whole life.
I wish I could do that sometimes.
God, is it-
Was that something that you like went in?
Like,
did you become a morning person or were you just always,
I've always been a morning person.
Fuck.
I'm so jealous.
I mean,
actually,
this is something I like about Los Angeles is that everyone is a morning person just
because of the way the sun rises and just like the energy of it.
Like I'm up at 8am every day.
Naturally.
It's insane.
Greta is such a morning person.
Greta and Abe are such morning people. We're all up at 8am. And you're productive. And I'm productive. Andam every day naturally it's insane Greta is such a morning person Greta and Abe
are such morning people
we're all up at 8am
and you're productive
and I'm productive
and I do things
meanwhile in New York
I am up until 2.30 in the morning
waking up at 10
it's like really not
it's not good
but the problem
with being a morning person
is that even if I'm up late
I still wake up early
so I'll go to bed at 2.30
I'm waking up
I woke up this morning at 6.30 I went to bed at 2.30 and waking up i woke up this morning at 6 30 i went to bed at 2
30 and i was like fuck and i laid awake for like probably 40 minutes and then was able to fall
back asleep until like 8 45 i see and that was sleeping in for you yeah that was like wow i never
wake up that is a curse um well okay so there was an iconic moment that happened and you are an
exerciser too you uh yeah yeah So there was an iconic moment that happened
that was very shameful for me
that sometimes I think of
and I wake with a start
which is when I was taking
a selfie of myself
on the Pulaski Bridge
and Ana Fabrega
ran by me and said,
it looks good.
And I was like,
oh no.
And I was fully taking
a selfie of myself
with the New York City skyline
in the back.
And I was running up behind.
Wait,
it looks good.
I had a really good shirt on.
You were looking at suit.
It was a suit jacket and like a
kind of nice shirt. And it was me
posted up on the bridge. It was golden hour.
I was taking a photo of myself.
The three of us at this table are
guilty of that all the time.
So Matt Rogers was
walking down the bridge.
And then he saw the beautiful skyline,
the beautiful lighting, his beautiful shirt
and thought, I've got to capture
this magical NYC moment.
Yeah, 100%. And must take an
earnest, beautiful selfie.
I'm not even going to say
it wasn't earnest. It was. I wanted
a nice picture of myself. Yes.
Because I think I had, sorry, just got on a new dating app and I was like, I need a nice picture of myself because I think I had I think I had sorry
just got on a new dating app and I was like
I need a nice photo of myself with the New York
City skyline with the New York City skyline
so they believe you that when you say I live in
New York yeah
so they know where I'm at
my interests are New York City part of the reason I even
said anything was because I thought that maybe you
I was caught in your camera
because I was running up behind you
oh yeah yeah
so I was like
but either way
this is funny
it was very funny
and I was
it was the thing
where I was like
I think I laughed so loud
because I was so embarrassed
I was like
and I was just like
wow that sucked
like I was just
you probably texted
10,000 people after that
I think I texted
you
I think you told me this.
I said, I'm so humiliated.
I was like, that's so funny.
Did you just keep running?
I just kept running.
She kept running.
She had shit to do.
She had things in her schedule that were important.
I did not.
Wow.
I don't have fucking time to take a selfie.
Yeah, no.
I'm busy running.
Running.
And also, I just want to say, I'm not like a selfie person.
It was just a moment in time where I was moved by the spirit of the city.
I caught you on an off time.
You caught me on a, let's call it a weak moment.
But also, no shame in taking selfies.
No shame.
Yeah.
A sort of, I don't even know what to call it, but a moment.
There must be a name.
We must find a name.
Yeah. There must be a name. We must find a name for the two, maybe three seconds of shame that most people have after they've taken a selfie in public.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
They rise their phone.
They take the selfie.
And for that moment, they mute the world around them.
It's just them and the lens and nothing matters.
They take the picture.
Then they put the phone down and they get a little red in the face.
Because some people have seen what they get a little red in the face. Yep.
Because some people have seen what they've done. People have seen it.
And then often, if their hair is long,
they'll tuck a little strand of hair behind their ear,
look down, look at their phone,
pretend they were doing something else,
and leave the premises.
Yep.
What is that?
What is that little shame?
What is that moment?
It's a readjustment.
You're re-socializing in a way, aren't you?
In a way, yes.
Well, it's a moment where you reckon with the fact that like,
and I bet a lot of people blame that on society.
They say, well, I have this phone.
It has this capability.
It's not me.
Everyone does it.
So there is like a re-socialization.
I see a lot of people take selfies with no hint of
shame or embarrassment
because it's like
so many people
are taking selfies
who cares
I think Julio's
just so tapped
into his
sort of
the internal
do you feel
embarrassed
when you take a selfie
in public
for a moment after
I think I'm the same
I do too
what is that
it's
it's like ugh it's not like I'm the same. I do too. What is that? It's like, oh,
it's not like I'm holding a book.
I wish someone caught me reading.
You're beamed back down.
Whenever I do it, I'll just
scream out to everyone I'm around like,
that was ironic, just so everyone knows that
was ironic.
There you go. Don't worry.
Don't worry about me.
I have thought, I haven't done this before, but there have been times where I'll see people
who are, I assume like tourists, who are taking a photo with something in the background that's
like very New York.
The love sign.
Should I say to them, do you want me to take it?
Or do they want it to be a selfie?
No, they don't want it to be a selfie.
They would ask if they wanted my help.
See, actually, a couple times I have done this,
and I have gotten the response.
Most of the time you'll get, sure, that would be amazing.
Thank you so much.
But also a lot of times you will say, I like that it's a selfie.
Only when it's... I've been told that a couple times.
The little face you made, like, I like that it's a selfie.
I like that it's a selfie.
I'm a little nasty.
Honestly, that is an element of what you're talking about. That thing of, like, I actually like it. I say you like that it's a selfie. I actually like that it of the selfie. I like the name of the selfie. I'm a little nasty. Honestly, that is an element of what you're talking about.
That thing of like, I actually like it.
I actually like the name of the selfie.
I actually like the name of the selfie.
Do you scrunch up your nose?
I think it's for big groups.
That's when I'll be like, hey.
Well, then it's a nightmare.
I mean, trying to get four people on a selfie is like, it's a fool's errand.
Yeah, because then other people will pull out their phones.
They don't mind too.
Hey, yeah, all right.
And you know, you got to vertical it it which doesn't work on the gram vertical no
no not vertical you turn horizontal yeah yeah let you landscape it and then you can't get it
on the instagram yeah you can well you can but it looks small story i want my face to be big in
pictures the real housewives of salt lake city are back 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. The Real Housewives
of Salt Lake City, Wednesdays at 9 on Bravo or stream it on City TV+. I felt too seen, dragged.
I'm NK and this is Basket Case. So I basically had what back in the day they would call a nervous breakdown.
I was crying and I was inconsolable.
It was just very big, sudden swaps of different meds.
What is wrong with me?
Oh, look at you giving me therapy, girl.
Finally, a show for the mentally ill girlies.
On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health
is shaped by the conditions of the world we live in.
Because if you haven't noticed,
we are experiencing some kind of conditions
that are pretty hard to live with.
But if you struggle to cope,
the society that created the conditions in the first place
will tell you there's something wrong with you.
And it will call you a basket case.

how often do you run?
I run like
probably three or four days a week
you were moving
yeah
how many miles?
you know I clock at least 80 miles a month 80 a month? oh great I'll do six miles probably three or four days a week. You were moving. Okay. Yeah. How many miles? You know,
I clock at least 80 miles a month.
80 a month?
Yeah.
Oh, great.
So then.
I'll do six miles every other day.
Wow.
And then live weights every other day.
Not a little bit.
I'll take a day off and relax.
You know what I'm realizing?
You,
because there's two runners here.
Well, I was,
I was like a hardcore runner in high school.
I was a distance runner as well.
And I remember like,
I thought you were going to say 80 a week
because during,
but during hardcore training weeks,
like I would do like,
Oh wow.
No,
see,
I never,
I don't want to go any more than I'm going
because I'm like my,
the stress it puts on your body.
I'm like,
I don't need to do that.
I'm not trying to run a marathon.
No people.
I just enjoy it.
I can like tune out for an hour or whatever.
Yeah.
So you wouldn't want to run like a marathon?
No,
no,
no desire.
It's great to just have something
that you enjoy doing. The thing is
whenever I try to run now, my old
competitor's brain comes back and it's like,
I have to remind myself it's not a race and I'm
not training for anything. It's just you're doing it for your
overall health.
I'm realizing right now we have not asked Anna the
question. We have not asked Anna the question. Because Julio's
been on this program before. But we have to ask Anna the question. We have not asked Anna the question. Because Julio's been on this program before.
Yes.
But we have to ask Anna the question.
Which is, Anna, what is the culture that made you say culture is for me?
This is the formative pop culture or like any culture in your life.
Could be upbringing, could be whatever that made you say culture is for me.
And this created the person that we know today.
Wow.
Formative moment in culture where I felt...
Culture.
You heard the question.
When you decided that culture was for you.
Culture was in fact for me.
You heard the question.
Everything I'm thinking of is moments that I said,
maybe culture's not for me.
Well, we want to hear about that.
I'm going through middle school things.
Yes.
Dig in.
All the different types of
clothes that I wore, trying to find
the culture that fit me. Describe
these. There's a lot of Tati in that.
Yeah. Yeah, I guess.
Oh, you're right. How is that like Tati?
Well, Anna's character in Los Spookys
HBO
is constantly she's a character who's constantly searching for herself.
And it manifests, a symptom of it is that she has no idea really what her style is.
So usually she'll wear that hideous little newsboy cap, those yucky little capris but anytime the Tati deems it to be
a special occasion
she'll just show up
in like a
a costume
and it's like
full beat as we say
her idea of like
what that occasion is
oh nice
like going on the date
in the third episode
that was amazing
oh well
the 1920s were so elegant
people looked so beautiful
yes
I'm gonna go like that
and a scene
that we cut
a scene that we cut a scene that we cut
from the pilot
a scene that we cut
from the pilot
is originally
the other spookies
were present
at the 15th birthday party
at the pilot
oh yes
and Tati
shows up
to the quinceañera
in a quinceañera dress
wow
and then her big sister
explains to her,
you can't,
the theme,
this is the 15th birthday party,
the theme isn't
15th birthday party.
And then Daddy's like,
okay, I'll go change.
And Ursula's like,
no, but do you,
are you just agreeing with me
or do you understand
what I'm saying?
And Daddy just walks away.
And it's just a make it look fun.
Okay, so this is from your own personal history then,
because you went through that?
Yeah, because Dati is looking for herself through work,
trying to find herself through work.
Who isn't?
And then the clothes, yes, are another extension of that.
But in middle school, I went through like so many phases
of like maybe I am a girl
in Abercrombie and Fitch
and Rocket Dogs
or maybe I'm a girl in like,
who's like a tomboy
and wearing like my brother's
Billabong shirt.
Or maybe I have like a tie
and I'm like Avril Lavigne.
Avril Lavigne.
Wow.
Do you remember that?
Maybe I have like a
a happy bunny t-shirt
maybe that's me
happy bunny
happy bunny
it was ironic
because the bunny
was really mean
and nasty
the bunny smiled
but said things like
I hate your mom
or something
oh my god
happy bunny
oh my god
you just sang on these things
like rocket dog
oh my god
I don't know what rocket dog is
it was those like
platform sandals oh I can't yeah and the logo was just like rocket dog like these big like Rocket Dog oh my god I don't know what Rocket Dog is it was those like platform sandals
oh I can't
yeah
and the logo was just
like Rocket Dog
like these big
like fat letters
blue and then
like a red flame
like a dog
it was like a weird
dog illustration
that was like
a really simple
geometric
like dog
polygonal dog
so what drag
did you land on
when you finally
entered high school
in high school I was like...
Where I'm sure it was solidified.
I'm sure you did find a path.
It was pretty plain.
I dressed pretty plain, which I think I still kind of do.
Although now I think I dress better than I did when I was 14.
But it was pretty nondescript.
I settled on like,
I don't want to stand out.
I just want to wear something
where I blend right in
and it's functional.
That's perfect
because I feel like
Basics are in.
But this is like a nice inversion
of the question
which is like,
I truly figured out
what I liked
and what works for me culturally.
By discovering what I did not like.
Yeah, which is beautiful.
A great mind.
A great mind.
What was your thing in high school?
I think I might have been the same where I really would buy a Henley from Hollister,
a fucking like a like a shirt like a
like a disgusting shirt
not a disgusting shirt at Hot Topic but like something
that had like something like dark and
whatever or and then I would like
wear Crocs every now and then like I was
truly all over the fucking world I was like
ironically I was like oh wear Crocs to
school and everyone's gonna laugh at me but I'll love it
I really like had no I hadcs to school and everyone's gonna laugh at me but I'll love it they were comfy I guess I really like had no
I had no
sense of
sartorial identity either
I feel like it wasn't until
like
three years ago
or three and a half years ago
that I felt like
oh now I know
what I like to wear
I finally figured it out
because also my sister and I
shared a room growing up and we lived together
in new york for a few years too sharing a bedroom as well and i would wear whatever she told me to
wear always we would go shopping and she'd be like anna this would look really cute on you and i'd
go okay but i didn't like like it much yeah and then when she moved away i was kind of like wait
what do i wear and then it still took me a little while to figure it out.
Yeah.
And be like, oh, this is what I like.
I don't have to wear a tiny little pink miniskirt.
Yeah.
I don't have to wear heels and go out in the meatpacking district.
Oh, my God.
What about you?
What were you?
Well, pretty much every school in El Salvador has uniforms.
So that was like
not a lot of personal style
not a lot of personal style
so I obviously
wore the uniform
five days a week
and when you're wearing uniforms
does that fully like
you have no time
you don't care to think
about what you're gonna wear
when you take it off
like the times
that you're not wearing
like on weekends
I would stay in my uniform
all day
like on weekends like what would you my uniform all day like on weekends
like what would you wear
like do you know what I mean
right right right
you wouldn't think about it
I went through very definitive phases
where I was like
this is what I am
and I don't deviate from this
so for a while
I was very into
I think I was just wearing
well I've always had an aversion to logos
so I know that.
You don't like text on shirts.
I don't like text on shirts.
If the outfit says it, it must communicate it with no text.
Right, of course.
If the outfit wants to convey a message, it must do so via the silhouette.
A universal vision.
Yes.
I think I would do a lot of just like primary colors over pants.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like a blue shirt and pants.
A red shirt and pants.
Stuff like that.
When did you start dyeing your hair?
I started dyeing my hair in 2014.
Uh-huh.
Yes.
So is that right when you moved to New York?
No, I moved to New York in 2009.
Oh, yeah.
I forget how long we have all known each other. Is that right when you moved to New York? No, I moved to New York in 2009. Oh, yeah. My new school.
I forget how long we have all known each other.
It is.
I honestly, like, when did I?
Because I know I met you at the pit when you were doing Ethnic Realness.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
And Miss Jade last night was our first guest.
And she was like, she goes, what was your show with Oscar called again?
I was like, Ethnic Realness.
It was a very 2014 title for a show.
I loved it. I remember
doing that show and loving it.
Yeah, that was the first time we met. Yes.
Yeah, I met you there.
I met Joel Kim Booster there. I met my
ex-boyfriend there. You met your ex-boyfriend
at the show that you were at? At the show, yeah.
Oh, hi, Danny. Hello, Danny.
Oh, my God. Hello, Daniel.
Hello, Daniel.
Hello, Danny. Hello, Danny. Oh, my God. Hello, Daniel. Hi, Daniel. Hello, Daniel. Hello, John.
Hi, Daniel.
Hello, Daniel.
John, before you, there was a Daniel.
John, before you, there was a Daniel.
I'm going to reveal something.
I wore this shirt today because I thought you might like it.
Oh, it's nice.
There's little cassette tapes on it.
It's nice.
You guys are both wearing printed collared shirts.
It's a very nice shirt.
Why did you think I would like it?
Because I thought you might respond to the little cassette tapes.
To the little cassette tapes?
Yeah.
Because...
You like miniature things.
Because you like miniature things, and I thought there was...
Oh, okay.
I feel like if you open your mouth, if you open your...
I'm sorry, your hand, and you had a little cassette tape...
That would be good.
That would be like, okay.
A way to tie it into the shirt.
Yeah.
You wouldn't wear her?
You wouldn't wear a print like that.
I wouldn't.
Okay.
It's rare to see you with a print.
Yeah,
I'm wearing a print right now.
I felt even,
I felt comfortable saying that,
expressing it to you
because I saw that you had a print
and I was like,
okay,
maybe I was right.
Also,
it's very light
and it is famously hot
as we said before.
It is so hot today
this is my like
what is the lightest thing
in the loosest pants I have
yeah
no
that's what I like about Los Angeles
is you can truly wear anything
on any day
like you can decide
to wear a jean jacket
and you are fine
if you wore a jean jacket out here
you would die instantly
yeah
you would turn to sand
for sure
what I think Julio has evolved to this place now
that is very aspirational,
but I think it's not,
I mean, it's literally not for anyone
on a cost-prohibitive level,
but it's also not for everyone
because it's like not everyone can pull this off,
but Julio will just go and buy reams of fabric,
or not reams, but whatever,
bolts of fabric,
and then get things made.
You have your shit designed.
I will say that I've been doing that
even when
more. Oh wait, more?
Yeah.
Wait, more?
You kept saying more.
Your eyes kept
widening. More?
He said even when broke.
Even when broke.
More?
Because the fabric, I make so much of my stuff,
which is like,
now there are a few pieces in archive
because they don't fit in the apartment.
But just like really cheap fabric.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah.
It's a fun little exercise.
And then,
and the cost of it,
it goes into your tailor.
Well, I would go,
whenever I would go visit my parents in El Salvador,
I would bring it to their tailor there, which of course is cheaper than a tailor here.
Wait, but would your mom make a thing sometimes?
No, but that's not what she does.
Does she seamstress?
No, no.
She would design.
Oh, she would design. She would make clothes when I was growing up.
She's more of like an industrial designer.
She'll make a chair for you.
She's an architect by trade,
but she'll also design furniture and clothes.
Perfect.
Perfect.
And I have one of your sister's bags.
You do?
Very creative family.
Very creative family.
Yeah.
On you right now?
Don't you?
It's right over there. there yeah I love those totes
those are great
yeah
that's gorgeous
very creative family
okay well this is a thing
that's happening at this table
older sisters
younger sisters
one of each
and that is why
I'm gonna start
writing Los Espookys
with Julio
because now
there's a different alignment
and you can do Las Culturistas okay yeah here we go that's why I'm gonna write start writing Los Espookys with Julio because now there's a different alignment and that is
Duos Culturistas
okay yeah
here we go
that's why I'm
gonna write
Los Espookys
with Matt Rogers
yeah
you guys do
your own spin on
they're gonna let us
write an episode
yes
let us be in the room
yes
please
let us be in the room
come on
just one week
just let us do one
let us do one episode Let us do one episode.
It's so stupid that you don't let us write.
Okay.
I want to ask you about the live shows
because Greta was saying that she did your guys' live show
with you guys and Fred and Greta.
Yeah, we've been campaigning.
Yes.
Kathy, you're very familiar with this
as the school Teresa is constantly hitting the campaign trail,
riling up the bays.
Absolutely.
Anytime I would come back from touring with you last season,
at work,
Hooli would just be like,
how is the campaigning?
How are the rallies?
The rallies are going really well.
The rallies are igniting.
Everything's looking really good.
Ignited.
Yeah.
The loyalty.
I mean, the people come.
The people come.
The merch.
It would feel very like,
I know
it would feel
it did have that vibe
where we'd go out
and do it all
it'd be like
hello everyone
how are we doing
Dallas
and also you kept saying
I could shoot someone
in Fifth Avenue
and none of you
would do anything about it
exactly
and we have
I have been every day
no one's done a thing
what have the lectures been like
fun
fun
they've been fun
they've been fun we They've been fun.
We'll play the trailer for the show up top.
Then me, Julio, and Fred will come out and talk for a little bit.
And then we'll all do solo sets and have whoever is also on the show
and in the city that the show is in do a set as well.
Yeah.
And that's it.
A campaign?
A rally?
Yeah.
A rally.
Igniting.
But a lot of people,
I think,
thought that it would be
about dismantling ICE.
About dismantling ICE.
Yeah.
And it's the opposite of that.
Yeah, right, right.
We are raising funds
for ICE.
Yeah, you guys want ICE back.
We're trying to make
our own private
detention centers
for profit.
And you're going to make
graphics that say
when an ICE agent
shows up at your door
just go.
Just go,
who is it?
Hello.
No, I think you were
going to say that
the expectation
from some of the attendees
is that the show
would be in Spanish, right?
Oh.
So are there people
that don't speak
English.com?
No, I think
everyone's bilingual.
Everyone's bilingual. Everybody. Everybody's bilingual. Everyone's bilingual.
Everybody.
Everybody's bilingual.
All our viewers are bilingual.
That is bilingual.
Cory Booker's bilingual.
Marianne.
Marianne.
Marianne speaks Spanish.
Oh, Marianne.
I was literally just going to bring it up because you said it.
And finally, I have awoken.
Yes.
You have been having Marianne takes.
And girlfriend, you are so wrong.
And girlfriend, you are so wrong. Anna, what do we think about Marianne? and girlfriend you have so long. And girlfriend you have so long.
Anna, what do we think about Marianne?
Oh, she's so funny.
I think my favorite thing about her whole night
was talking about putting a man on the moon.
When Daniel Kershaw said we put a man on the moon,
he did not say it's one of my visions.
He said it and we did it.
What is the accent?
What is it?
Mid-Atlantic. She's Mid-Atlantic, but she's from Texas. What is the accent? What is it?
She's mid-Atlantic, but she's from Texas.
No, she's mid-Atlantic, but then she's also like, it's like Diana Ross.
It's Diana Ross, breath you like this.
And girlfriend you were so long. I am going to call the prime minister of New Zealand and I'm going to say,
if you think that you can raise a boy or a girl in your nation,
you have another thing coming
because America has beauty and poetry in all its forms.
Did you see the clip of her,
I think it was in the New York Times,
where she said one of the first things she would do
was to call European leaders.
And say, we're back.
The first thing I do is call European leaders and say,
baby, we're back.
I wish she had said baby, but she didn't.
I'm sorry, who is the next, who am I calling next?
Spain.
Very well.
Ring, ring.
Hello, Spain.
We are back.
We're back.
Clink.
Who is next?
Who is next?
She is...
No, wait.
Her...
What a breakout star.
I mean, her campaign contributions doubled.
So we will continue to see her.
I have been saying that I...
Now, I have been making a version of this comment, but I now have to see her. I have been saying that I, now, I have been making a version of this comment,
but I now have to revise it.
My
son is in Marianne
hard.
Yes.
My son is in Marianne,
my moon is Elizabeth Warren,
my rising is Bernie Sanders.
Wow.
Okay, so yes.
Definitely.
Your rising is Bernie,
so your son,
say that one more time.
My son is in Marianne.
Yes.
Like, blatantly a Marianne. That means you, like, your is in Marianne like blatantly a Marianne
that means your identity is Marianne
my identity is Marianne
because I
what I would offer to the American people
are metaphors
and harnessing energy
harnessing the energy of love
I would harness
energy I would
you know more amulets, less weapons.
Yes, yes.
These would be my campaign promises.
And then my moon is in Elizabeth Warren.
Because that's where my heart is.
And then my rising, I think, is in Bernie because I am perceived as feisty.
And you're perceived as political and all these things.
So Donald Trump, if you're listening,
that's where Julio stands
in terms of the candidates.
Donald Trump, if you are listening,
you better sit down and put the tea away
and just turn up the volume
and hear that President Marianne
is coming.
I'll see you in the Donald film
with all my love.
I'm obsessed with her.
Did you know that she was Laura Dern's roommate?
Yeah.
What?
Yes.
Oh my God.
I said there's a world where Renata Klein sees Marianne Williamson two times a week.
Renata from Big Little Lies sees Marianne Williamson.
You're fucking running for president.
Well, I fucking, I hope I'm still seeing you at three o'clock.
That's not who Laura
actually is
no
I know but he's a Renata
but I
yes I know that Laura
I would be interested to know
if that was a contentious
roommate situation
because everyone's like
oh my god can you be
everyone's college roommate
everyone hated
sure
was it college
that they were
I think they were college roommates
that's I think the narrative
I know
Coltrice doesn't
drag me I that's wrong.
Laura, I just want to say if you could clean up the dishes when you're done using them,
that would be absolutely fantastic.
The love in this apartment is just sipping away with you not cleaning the dishes.
She is.
Oh, my God.
I think.
Oh, no, I don't have one yet.
It might be time.
Oh, no.
It might be time for I Don't Think So, Honey.
It's fine.
Now, here's the thing.
Our guests have come, sorry, but unprepared.
And here's the thing.
But I did come prepared.
Is a troll bowl applicable?
We can do a troll bowl for you.
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, we could.
Didn't we do it yesterday?
We did it for Solomon Georgiou.
I think I have an I Don't Think So, Honey.
It's kind of boring, but it's a really earnest one.
I love earnest.
I want to hear,
to quote our host,
Anna,
go off.
Go off.
Although Anna,
we have to say Anna is the innovator
of I don't think so honey
because she was at our first live show.
Yeah.
Famously did I don't think so honey,
I don't think so honey.
Because you only get one minute.
I don't think so honey one minute.
One minute.
Yeah, I don't think so honey one minute.
Yes, yes, yes, exactly.
And honestly, she's right.
I think she gave one of the first meta I don't think so honey. I think One minute. I don't think so honey one minute. Yes, yes, yes. Exactly. And honestly, she's right. I think she gave one of the first meta
I don't think so honey.
I think it was maybe the first.
The first.
She paved the way for all the meta
I don't think so honey.
Truly.
Exactly.
I have one.
Great.
Yeah.
This is Matt Rondre's
I don't think so honey
and his time starts now.
I don't think so honey
the flavor of grape.
Oh.
I think this is a bad flavor.
I think it is absolutely ridiculous that it is one
of the prominent flavors i think that cherry is obviously the best flavor now i don't want to
make this uh uh and i don't think so honey about grapes which i actually think are very good and i
actually even like green grapes and purple grapes like them all but do you get the energy and the
flavor of those grapes when you taste grape the flavor i don't
think so honey so here's the thing 30 seconds grapes are good they're fruits and they're
actually healthy for you grape the flavor in terms of candy i really don't think so honey because
it doesn't match well wait what what there's a specific thing that is grape that is... Juice. I don't like. Grape juice, disgusting. Grape soda, disgusting.
It's a 15-second thing that is great.
Oh, grape lollipops, disgusting.
Also, grape, sorry, but it rhymes with a bad word.
Five seconds.
We don't like grape.
If you come to me with a flavor of grape, get out.
And they're also famously the worst Skittles.
Get them out of the bag.
And that's one minute.
I love that.
I find that grape Skittles, that's what I wanted to do.
I really wanted to...
Because honestly, you really run into a problem when you're opening a bag of skittles, I find.
Because I don't know whether or not to just eat.
I don't want to leave the grape skittles.
And they're bad.
You guys like grape?
I like grapes.
I like grapes.
Yeah, but I'm saying.
But grape flavor.
Grape flavor is horrible. So listen. I don't hate it as much as you do. Well, but I'm saying grape flavor. Grape flavor is horrible.
So listen.
I don't hate it as much as you do.
Well, that's okay.
Maybe you can honestly,
I'll mail you all my grape Skittles
then from now on.
So I don't know.
And tell me what you guys think.
Let's crowdsource on this.
So when you open a bag of Skittles
and you see that there's
numerous grape Skittles,
like do you eat them first
to get them out of the way?
Or do you save them for last but then you have the aftertaste of grape? But why do you have to eat them at all if, do you eat them first to get them out of the way or do you save them for last
but then you have
the aftertaste of grape?
But why do you have
to eat them at all
if you don't eat them?
because I feel wasteful
if I don't eat them.
There's no eating,
there's no consumption order.
You can just eat a grape Skittle
as you come across it.
I don't eat Skittles.
Well,
that doesn't surprise me.
But,
I do find it
moving
that you are so burdened
because there's such a
beautiful irony here where
it sounds like you like Skittles
and yet you dread the homework that comes with them
the chore that is eating
and then so you're faced with
well do I get it out of the way
to enjoy my Skittles
do I blissfully eat all the other colors
knowing that the looming
cloud of grape is coming?
Right.
Yeah.
I think that there's
actually a feature film
in this.
There's a feature film
in this.
There's four options.
Well, actually,
we have,
so here's how I enjoy
my Skittles.
I think the cherry Skittles
are absolutely amazing.
I think that they are gourmet.
Do they taste different?
So all Skittles
taste different?
All Skittles taste different.
Have you never had Skittles?
I don't think I have.
Julio.
I have a big sweet tooth, but I don't like Skittles.
Really?
Do you like M&M's?
No.
What do you like?
Well, since I've been vegan, I can't eat a ton of...
You like vegan treats.
But as far as candy goes, I loved gummies.
But now vegan gummies, I don't really eat them.
But I do love...
Because gummies have gelatin.
But vegan gummies
are they powdery
or something
the texture's just
not the same
I mean you can get
like Sour Patch
that's about as close
as you can get to that
but they're not great
I just I mean
I like cookies and cake
and stuff like that
this is
also informs
a potential plot point
if we're lucky enough
to do a second season
of Loser Spookies
in which
Tati
gets locked
in a bakery all night
and she eats and she eats and she eats
and she becomes so big that
her sister can't push her
out of the door the following day.
This is the narrative arc for this.
This is perfect.
Here's a question for you. Do you
eat Starbursts?
I don't like Starbursts either.
I've never...
When I ate candy, it was gummies.
Gummies.
See, Sudi loves Haribo gummy bears,
and I don't understand them.
I love those.
The sour ones.
I don't understand that.
I don't speak that language.
The powdered ones?
The sour gummy bears.
Here we go.
Do you eat anything sweet, Julio?
I'll have...
Yeah, I like dark chocolate.
Dark chocolate. Dark chocolate. We come from two different worlds. I've acquired the taste. I love a milk chocolate. anything sweet Julio I'll have yeah I like dark chocolate dark chocolate
dark chocolate
we come from
two different worlds
I've acquired
I love milk chocolate
I've acquired the taste
for dark chocolate
milk chocolate
is too rich now
he goes
oh
and he turns his head
when I was little
I liked white chocolate
and then when I
even when I was a teenager
I preferred dark chocolate
to milk chocolate
really
to me dark chocolate
is just like two
it makes me feel like but no if you like beer then you should like dark chocolate is just like two. It makes me feel like...
But no, if you like beer,
then you should like dark chocolate
because it's got body.
It's got like...
Because as you grow up,
it's like wine.
It's got such depth of flavor.
Maybe I've just been
denying myself
that I like it.
But here's the ranking
of the Skittle flavors.
Cherry is the best.
Orange is the second best.
Yellow, lemon, is the... Then comes in third. the best. Orange is the second best. Yellow,
lemon,
is the,
then comes in third.
Then green,
which I don't like.
And then grape,
which can,
as far as I'm concerned,
be banished from the planet Earth.
You have four options.
That's a great ranking.
And I think I have the same ranking.
But these are your four options.
You eat the grape Skittles first.
Okay.
You save them for last after you eat everything else.
Yeah.
You don't eat them at all.
Where you eat them in random order.
You don't have to like...
Honestly, most of the time I do.
I have like a thing where I like to sort them
and then eat them.
Oh, wow.
I don't understand these sorters.
That was my next question.
Do you separate the other colors
and decide what order to eat them in as well?
Sometimes I find it to be a great thrill
to empty all the Skittles out onto the table
and then sort them by color.
Wow.
But this is riddled with stress, though,
because you know that there is a part of it that you don't like.
Maybe that's part of why I do it.
I think you're searching for stress in things that shouldn't be stressful.
Okay.
And that's a great assessment.
The way you sort,
you just sort by color.
You separate them by color.
I will just separate them by color
and then I will eat them
like by color.
So interesting.
By flavor, really.
It's not about color.
Right.
But people who do this
with like M&M's or Skittles.
It's foolish to do it with M&M's.
It's foolish to do it
with any of them.
No, it's not Bowen.
I think just eat them
as they come.
But like I had a boss
who would like on calls or something like I had a boss who would
like on calls
or something like
I would sit in her office
with her
she would
empty a bag of Skittles
or M&M's even
there's no use
in doing that
but like
she would do
she had this
I'm not gonna say like
the acronym of like
OCD or anything
but it was like
this thing where it was like
she would take a collar
like a red Skittle
and then the rule was she had
to do um three she explained to me the system three a triangle of red around the center red
that's then do alternating colors of everything else had to be the and then it'd be a hexagon of
it's it's truly i'm not even gonna bother explaining it it was just truly
that sounds like
she's looking for stress
where I need to be
you're so
you're pretty close to that
I am not
it's a stressful process
I think it is
you're glaring at me
I'm merely separating them
by color
because I don't want
my flavors to get confused
there's nothing worse
than flavors that get confused
but your mouth would
differentiate the flavors
in your eyes
flavors that are confused it's a rule of differentiate the flavors in your eyes. There is nothing worse than flavors that are confused.
It's a rule of culture.
It's a rule of culture number 96.
There's nothing worse than flavors getting confused.
I was also that kid where none of my food could be touching.
I feel like you probably were the same.
I mixed.
You mixed?
I always mixed everything.
I love that.
Wait, there was also another sentence that you said.
They're like, I like grapes.
I like them all.
I like them purple and green.
Okay, this is...
Purple and green.
Well, yes, that is how I feel.
And I also want to say one more thing, which I forgot to say,
which is I think purple is one of the most fabulous colors.
Yes.
And for it to be associated with the disgusting flavor of grape,
I think is ridiculous.
You don't like purple?
I...
No.
What color do you like
clear
clear
oh yeah you're a
you're a clear bitch
wait no I just
I just remembered
something funny
that Miss J said last night
that I feel compelled to share
what did Miss J say
say
so she was
she was suggesting
that she wanted to do trivia
yeah
you loved this I loved this I thought about it as soon as I woke up again she was suggesting that she wanted to do trivia. Yes, you love this.
I love this.
I thought about it as soon as I woke up again.
She was suggesting that she wanted to do trivia.
And then someone asked, well, are there prices?
And then she goes, there are prices.
I have prices.
I have things.
Things you would like.
There are prices.
There are prices.
I have things.
I have things you would want.
Things that you would want. I have things that you would want
I have things that you would want
I have things that you would want
I have prizes
I saw you laugh
I have prizes
I have things
I have things that you would want
I think you use that
as a line somewhere
and we'll credit Miss J
things you would want
get Miss J as a consultant
Miss Jade as a consultant
yes
for season two
wait
when Julio
turned his head,
I don't know earlier, at what again?
He scoffed at me saying that I love...
Love Starburst or Candy or something?
Starburst or something.
This was a very, one of your favorite films.
Oh, do not get me started.
So the two year anniversary of Queen of Ice
versus Queen of Gold was in April.
Queen of Ice versus Queen of Gold,
which is Julio's alternate title for Snow White and the Huntsman.
No, no.
No, no, no, no.
The Huntsman, Winter War.
It is one of my favorite movies.
That is when I discovered the culture was culture for me.
So.
You have gifts at the ready for this.
Clips of gifts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Charlize and Emily Blunt, right?
Yes.
It is the sequel to Snow snow white and the huntsman
the live action snow white movie yes and in this film uh it is a film about two rival queens yes
charlie's there i'm playing the queen of gold versus emily blunt her sister playing the queen
of ice yes one is gold the other one's ice It's not fire and ice it's not gold and silver
it's gold and
ice
There's so many beautiful
moments in that
film
One of them is the queen of ice looking
into the mirror and going mirror mirror of them all
who's the fairest of them all and then Charlize Theron
steps out of the mirror and she
goes does this answer your question oh my god but the moment that bowen you're referring to
is so if you want to know what the drama is behind behind the two queens why they hate each other is
because the queen of heights drama drama girls are getting
sassy once you
murder the baby
she truly went off
so okay
so in this
in this long
scene
in this flashback
yes
because I should say
that this movie
is both a prequel
and a sequel
yes
to
really
no one in the hunt
so okay
so the movie
it's like
some of the movie
takes place
and then a crow flies into the lens and the Huntsman. So, okay. So the movie, it's like some of the movie takes place and then a crow flies into the lens
and the narrator says,
and then the tale of Snow White happened.
And then we ease back into the movie.
Again, both a prequel and a sequel.
So in a flashback,
the Queen of Gold carrying a torch
goes to like some henchman as he's
sleeping she puts his hand over
him and she goes
murder
so then
the man goes with the torch
and torches the
baby torches the child of
the queen of eyes and then
as Emily Blunt is rushing
to see what that what the commotion
in the cradle of her child she rushes back the queen of gold who has set this up charlie and
charlie's theron the camera stays on charlie's theron who doesn't do a full turn but like a
maybe like a one quarter turn to to look at Emily Blunt.
She's just like, can you do have it on your phone?
Because I think it's...
I might not have it ready on the phone.
We'll pull it up after the recording.
Just the way that she looks back is just like...
The smallest like...
Tilt.
Like she didn't just kill her baby.
Like she just had like a catty thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
LOL.
It's true.
Oh my God.
There are lots of gifs of them screaming at each other
and like gold and ice rushing.
Yes.
I haven't seen the movie, but now I must.
Now you must.
A lot of scenes of Emily Blunt looking at the ice cradle,
empty ice cradle of her baby.
Is there a winner at the end?
Don't spoil.
I won't spoil.
Well, is there a winner?
There is a clear winner.
This movie has really informed so much of your work
and I think you would,
I think you would accept that.
Crows, ice, elements.
It just has a lot of things.
And I've said this before, it's a
perfume ad turned into an action film.
Yes, and I love any movie
that's a fragrance commercial.
It's primarily a fragrance commercial.
That's perfect. A song of ice
and gold. A song of ice and gold.
Alright, well, Bowen Yang, it might be time
for your I Don't Think So Honey. Yes, I think it is.
And that means it's time to put one minute
on the clock. This is Bowen Yangs.
What, bitch?
Yes, okay.
This is Bowen Yangs' I Don't Think So Honey.
His time starts now.
I Don't Think So Honey,
when you react to my Instagram story,
and then I think,
what's this?
A message?
I get to read a nice little speech bubble,
and no, it's just an upward shower, a vaporized fume of, you know, heart eyes or something.
And, you know, it's very, I experienced this several times a day and it's anticlimactic every single time.
And I really hope that people out there really learn.
30 seconds left.
To, you know, use their words.
I think words, we cannot let words go extinct.
And I think we are on this path.
And, you know, I will harness words for political gain.
Yeah.
And Mr. President.
15 seconds.
If you're listening.
I will harness words for political gain.
I will meet you on that field.
What about love?
And sir, words will win.
And love will win too.
Five seconds left.
Yeah, just send me, just type out something like, oh my God, fun.
And that's one miss.
I'll do the same for you.
Oh my God, fun.
Oh my God, fun.
Oh my God, fun.
Something that you get to read like, oh my God, fun.
Oh my God, fun.
I love reading oh my God, fun.
Yeah, honestly, I agree.
I think it's rule of culture number 98.
Type it out. Use your words.
Type it out.
Use your words.
Type it out.
You know, I will say I am guilty of sometimes hitting just doing the emoji, you know?
I think I've done it to everyone at this damn table.
And to Emma.
Hot producer Emma, too.
Okay, I think it's time for Anna Fabregas.
I don't think so, honey.
We think it is.
Okay.
So are you ready?
I'm ready.
This is Anna Fabregas.
I don't think so, honey. Her time starts now. I don't think so, honey. We think it is. Okay. So are you ready? I'm ready. This is Ana Fabregas. I don't think so, honey. Her time starts now.
I don't think so, honey. Crowded bars.
I hate walking
into a bar that has
not only every seat filled, but people
standing and taking up room
and you can't hear each other. And there's
loud music. I know that some people
don't like to go to a bar that's not crowded
because they think it's boring. But if I'm going to
a bar, it's because I want to talk to who I'm with. So I would like for that bar to be to a bar that's not crowded because they think it's boring. But if I'm going to a bar, it's because I want to talk to who I'm with.
So I would like for that bar to be empty.
And that goes not only for bars,
but for any venue for nightlife as well.
If there's too many people,
I'm not going to have a good time.
If I show up and it's empty, great.
If people start to show up, I'm going to leave
and I'm going to hope I can find a place that is still empty.
Absolutely. 15 seconds.
Or better yet, maybe, as I'm saying this,
I'm like, should I just stay home to see people?
But yeah, I just don't like people being loud.
There's more drunk people when it's more crowded.
I just urge everybody to be mindful
of where they choose
to congregate
yes
and that's what I meant
and also
I completely agree with you
I only like bars
where I am like
concerned
whether or not
they can stay open
like because
there's no one there
truly
yeah
and you know
I'm trying to think
about scale here
and I feel like
when you travel
let's say you travel
to Buenos Aires
let's say I'm thinking you know it's gonna be great it's gonna be I'm trying to think about scale here and I feel like when you travel let's say you travel to Buenos Aires
let's say
I'm thinking
you know it's gonna be great
it's gonna be
I'm gonna have space
I'm gonna have space
to do things I wanna do
but then you get there
and then the people ruin it
or just the crowds
and then it's kind of
the same concept
where you're like
I should've just stayed home
also if I'm at the bar
I probably wanna drink
and what people tend to do
in these spaces is
there's
like you know
there should be
seats at the bar but then people they congregate
up yeah then you can't get a drink you can't get a drink which i've done i don't think and everyone's
bumping into you as they're walking through yeah there you go yeah the worst thing you could do
the worst thing you could do is order a drink and when you get it remain yeah at the bar
this is not the transaction.
This is an animal house. Blocking access.
And her rega colon
in search for an empty place.
That's your memoir.
Yeah.
I was thinking about a memoir
yesterday because I think it's funny when people that are
like have not even lived half their
lives are like going to write a book or something. yes yes you must share with us all your memories yeah
um but i was saying i tweeted about this but i was thinking about one um called undeniably me
and then colon how i turned a hundred dollars into 400 quarters
beautiful two different ideas.
But just someone calling their memoir undeniably me.
Undeniably me and then the subtitle being that.
Yeah, it's good.
Absolutely.
Two different ideas coexisting.
Julio, would you like a troll bold or do you have a topic?
I think I have a topic.
Yeah, I am excited about a topic.
He's rubbing his thumb across his fingers.
You know, I took out my rings
because I can't do any proper thinking
or engaging with my rings on this.
Right.
I discovered.
Wow.
I only put my rings off at night.
My favorite line in text.
There were multiple takes of that
because the actor who played the boy
was really being very
methodical about just
peeling the rings off. And 80 was very
patient. 80 was just like, and she just
80 was a pro the whole time.
You know, 80 Bryant is a pro
you know that she, you know, you can recognize
a pro when she doesn't flinch at a
boy taking her rings off.
I would flinch, you know, because I'm
not a pro.
Not to her.
Not to her.
So this is Julio Torres's I Don't Think So, Honey.
He's ringless.
His time starts now.
I don't think so, honey.
The key emoji not being proportional to the door emoji.
What?
If I am trying to convey an idea through emojis.
Yes.
And I say, and I'm trying to use the door emoji as a metaphor by saying something like
oh, I have finally accessed
that idea. Or I finally
have access to this. And I put
the door emoji and right next to it I put the
key emoji and the
lacy, lacy, lacy people that make these
emojis, make them both the same size.
I'm suddenly conveying
I have a door and a giant key.
I don't have a giant key.
I have the key to that door, and that
key does not open the
door if it's the same size of a door.
Unless you're trying to convey that you're gonna
tear the door down with the
giant key. No. I don't
think so, honey. The key not being
proportional to the door. The key
ought to be so small, you can barely see it in door yes the key ought to be so small you can
barely see it in the text it ought to be and that's one minute now i have a question for you
julia what about every other emoji yeah what about every other emoji should they all be proportional
i don't really grapes being the same size as the dancing girl yeah i don't go anywhere near the
grapes i don't go anywhere near the dancing girl The only emoji that I am concerned with are the key and the door.
Or what about like another N.A.?
Come on, no.
But what about like other emojis that like you would like partner together in order to like create a story or a narrative?
Yeah, like one of those peaches and the eggplant.
The eggplant.
I don't use any of the eggplant. I don't use
any of the fruit.
I mostly stay
with the fountains and the
hourglasses and the doors.
A note.
I think that you may be disregarding
perception.
Death perception.
I'm sorry.
So you are saying.
Yes.
You are saying that Apple thought, well, okay, so one holds the key closer to one's eyes.
Yes.
And the door is always farther away.
I would take that if they would finally make the emojis overlap.
Okay. Okay.
Oh.
So that you could put one in front of the other one.
You do it on Instagram.
You could shrink the key on an Instagram story.
You could.
I guess I could.
This is a lot of work.
Yeah.
You bring up a very interesting point, and I think this discussion is ongoing.
Well, I'm just saying it's always...
This discussion is frankly ongoing. Well, I'm just saying it's always this discussion will continue. But can you imagine the chaos
of a text conversation
if all the emojis were proportional?
You could never say that.
It would be hell on the eyes.
It would be hell on the eyes.
You would make a
full piece of art.
But imagine text in there too.
That's when
you'll have huge open spaces for the door and the text down at the bottom and all the dead space up top.
It would look really ugly.
Anna, as a Photoshop whiz, you understand visual art more so than any –
Well, you Photoshop.
You understand what I'm talking about.
One of the queens of the stuff.
You're right.
We tell you, you have to consider the negative space.
And there'll be a lot of negative space created.
Consider the negative space. Consider the negative space is rule of culture number 50.
Consider the negative space.
And also, when we're talking about the stuff with the emojis,
it actually brings us back to rule number 98, which is
use your words, type it out.
I think this discussion is ongoing.
This discussion will continue.
And Apple, if you're listening.
Well, Unicode.
It's Unicode.
It's the company.
Wait, I'm sorry.
The organization.
It's called what?
Unicode.
Unicode.
They are responsible for emojis?
They all get together and they decide what the new emojis will be.
I think there's summits and conventions now.
There's emoji summits.
I think you guys have to go speak at these.
Oh, wow.
I wish there was a marble emoji.
There is a candy emoji that looks like a marble.
But it's wrapped in selfie.
It's wrapped.
Anna, I will never forget, invented an emoji that I need,
which is open mouth grin wearing the cowboy hat.
No, that already exists.
You're putting the cowboy hat on the face. When it came out, I was just blown away by the cowboy hat
and the decision to include it.
The cowboy hat, yeah.
Because what does it convey?
A happy cowboy.
Cowboy. An's a cowboy hat. Yeah. Because what does it convey? A happy cowboy. A cowboy.
A cowboy.
An ecstatic cowboy.
Yeah, but then I started
putting it on other emojis
and it elevated everything.
Every emoji.
Yeah.
It really does.
Like sad looking down
with a cowboy hat.
It's like so much more sad
than without the hat.
You're an emoji stylist.
Yeah.
Are there emojis
with the newsboy caps?
No, there's not a newsboy
We need to inspire them
from Tati.
I think there's the there's the painter who wears
a little beret.
I see, I see.
Not a newsboy cap.
There's a brush and an easel, I think, in the picture.
Right?
And it doesn't look that proportional.
I think you two should demand invitations
to the next Unicode Summit.
Emojis I need.
We keep saying this because this is the title of a...
A sketch that Julio wrote.
A sketch, a defunct sketch called Emojis I need.
And it was just a list of emojis I need.
It was a voiceover.
I think it was Kit Harington.
Who read the emojis I need.
Who read emojis I need.
Who read the emojis that Julio needed.
It was pretty much like Kit Harington.
This is a list of emojis that Julio needed? It was pretty much like Kit Harington. Like, this is a list of emojis that Julio Torres needs.
That Julio Torres needs.
And then the whole staff at SNL just at the table were being like, okay.
Yes.
Yeah.
It was received like the best of my work with a, okay.
Okay.
Wow.
This has been a very special episode.
A tremendous episode. and Los Espookys

you guys should get HBO
we should get HBO
we've been joking about we don't have logins can we please get logins should you guys should get HBO we should get HBO we've been joking about
we don't have logins
can we please get logins
and they're always like
haha okay
and they're like

but it's true
I think they think
we're kidding
but I also don't have a TV
because it doesn't go
with anything in my apartment
well I don't have it
but you can just
do it on your laptop
yeah oh sure so HBO Now is a la carte HBO Go is tethered to your what is a la carte I also don't have a TV because it doesn't go with anything in my apartment. Well, I don't either, but you can just do it on your laptop.
Yeah.
Oh, sure. So HBO Now is a la carte.
HBO Go is tethered to your...
What is a la carte?
A la carte.
A la carte.
It's like you just...
You say,
I want to watch Big Little Lies.
I don't need a sharp object.
Yes, yes.
So you just watch the ones
that you want to watch.
Oh, oh, oh.
Because HBO Go is like...
It's the whole deal.
You have a subscription
to your cable service.
Yes. And then that's
The app supplement
I think I have both
Then you gotta cancel one
Because you're paying
You're paying
So much
I'm also using
My old roommate's dad's
HBO
Well meanwhile
I have my own
HBO Now account
Which means that
My money is going
Directly to Julio Torres
And Anifa Berega
Is it?
Well well well
I think so
I don't know how that works You guys get More money per subscription I think that's how it works Is it? Well, well, well. I think so. I don't know how that works.
You guys get more money
per subscription.
I think that's how it works.
Is it?
That's not how it works.
They probably signed it.
This is new to me.
I demand that's how it works.
I think that they signed a contract
and they made the money
that they made probably
as EPs, writers,
and stars of the show.
That's probably how it worked.
And that's the biz.
And that's the biz.
But we each were responsible
for bringing HBO
at least 100 new sign ups
yes
we're trying
yes
can you please
sign me
hi
we're actually in it
yeah
it's not about that
but we're actually
we're actually in it
so you know
it's fun
it's really fun
my actual thing
I would love to do
if we do a season 2
is a euphoria-inspired episode.
Yes.
Where the series get fucked up.
Fucked up.
Oh, my God.
The Losers Queens get fucked up and they have sex.
Someone cuts himself with a knife at a party in front of everybody.
Oh, God.
That happens?
That's in the pilot.
That's just fucked.
Sorry, HBO.
Hunter Schafer is incredible, though.
I don't know who that is.
Is that the blonde girl?
Yeah.
She's so good.
And Eric Dane
puts on a condom.
Oh, I do like Eric Dane.
Eric Dane
puts on a condom.
You see his penis?
It's a prosthetic penis,
but you see him.

prosthetic penises.
Show the real thing.
Save it for next time.
Anyway,

Stick to sports. Shut up and dribble.
Despite what some people believe, sports and politics have mixed from the beginning.
Now you have a podcast that isn't afraid to explore the complicated relationship between sports and politics with a new podcast called Spolitics with me, Jemele Hill.
I'll be discussing political, social, and economic issues through the lens of sports with some of the biggest names and smartest people.
So here's the assignment.
Listen to Spolitics on the iHeartRadio app

Let's get Spolitical.
I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast.
As the U.S. elections approach,
it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.
Please stick to policy. Don't get personal.
But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast,
I'll share what the science really shows.
That we're surprisingly more united than most people think.
We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better.
