Starting point is 00:02:30 Ding dong! Las Culturistas calling! And rain on us, more like. Not even just me, because we're both in the same room, and if a cloud came and rained on us, it wouldn't have a very hard time doing so. Every part of that statement is so accurate wait did you
Starting point is 00:02:48 say that did you just reveal that we were in the same room I revealed I went ahead and revealed was that okay no that's okay I just I took my headphones off um are you gonna take yours off too I'm also taking mine off because we can I can put wait does am I making you feel self-conscious no no no it was just so basically for the all
Starting point is 00:03:04 the readers at home we're kind of re-establishing what it means to record a podcast in the same room again. Yeah. You know what I mean? And so that means many things. It means certain audio has to get figured out. And we are just mere mortals here. We don't really know what we're doing. Let me ask you something.
Starting point is 00:03:22 It started to feel like the new normal that we were recording on Zoom, wasn't it? It started to feel like the new normal and also to be honest with you, I felt like the guests that we were getting were extreme. We're only attainable through Zoom. Very much so. Like I will, then I thought to myself like, okay, so the quarantine, right?
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah. The fact that it happened got us into Survivor. Yes. And then that's what got us parv and we would not have been able to have parv if it weren't for covid i'm not saying i'm happy covid happened at all you're not you're not like jennifer aniston that hollywood reporter round table who was like you know at covid's actually a blessing and then and then fucking janelle yeah um and it basically i'm not'm not Jennifer Aniston right now. I am, however, saying that I am happy that we were able to have the kind of guests that we've had.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Yes. Because we felt unmoored by the location of it all. Right. And it was like, we only have to be in the same time in the same, not even the same place. We just have to be together at the same time. We just have to exist in the same world with internet, really. To get anyone we want. And we've asked some asks. We've had some asks.
Starting point is 00:04:29 We've put some asks out. That's true. Anyway, readers, I am in LA now. This is a very long-standing plan. Since March, Sudi and I, we're gonna fly out here. Anyway, I'm in Los Angeles now for a little bit. This is a long-standing plan.
Starting point is 00:04:46 We're taking every precaution we can. Isn't that right? Let's just say that Bone and I are seated across the room from each other, and it's very sort of the Fifty Shades of Grey boardroom scene, where we are very much negotiating with each other from across the room, and it is dimly lit
Starting point is 00:05:02 and the stakes are high. It's very power couple web series starring Matt Rogers and Sudi Green, directed by Peter Kelly, the Brittany and it is dimly lit and the stakes are high. It's very power couple web series starring Matt Rogers and Sudi Green directed by Peter Kelly, the Brittany and Justin episode which was modeled after that 50 Shades scene. No, this is what it is. Thank you for that shout out to my work. It's wonderful work. My sketch work.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Please watch it. You and I are Chloe and Halle and we are in the tennis courts shooting our music videos. Wow. We are very Chloe and Halle. It's very Chloe and Halle. And we're in the tennis courts shooting our music videos. Wow. We are very Chloe and Hallie. That's very Chloe and Hallie. Can I say out loud right now that we are the Chloe and Hallie of podcasting? And this is...
Starting point is 00:05:34 And that we were influenced by Beyonce and are a duo. We were influenced by Beyonce. We were raptured by a larger corporate structure also known as iheart also known as um well will ferrell's our beyonce will ferrell is really our beyonce and also we should say that um while is it chloe or hallie that is in little mermaid it's it's hallie hallie is in little mermaid and we aspire to be in little mermaid as flotsam and jetsam yes so there is like a familial thing here we We are all sisters. And I am so happy that my sister is here
Starting point is 00:06:08 in Los Angeles with me because I can better take care of her and she me. And also we can do things like this very fun episode because I don't know if you know, and I know that you know, but that's a way I can transition into saying
Starting point is 00:06:23 it's actually our 200th episode of lost culture is this can you believe it and there's i mean let's do the math 200 times 1.5 that's 300 hours on average yeah of us talking hundreds of hours of us out there shooting the absolute shit saying really crazy things And that's the thing, is it's like, people who are like, I'm starting the podcast from the beginning. I'm like, oh, bitch. Bitch, you're about to be a journey.
Starting point is 00:06:52 You're going to hear us talking about how we can't wait for Hillary Clinton to win the damn presidency. Let's just say, we, like the rest of the world, from March 2016 to November 2016, were quite confident. And now,
Starting point is 00:07:04 it is kind of crazy to think like how far not only like the podcast has come, but also the world has come and we've come individually, but also that we started this in a different climate. Yeah. Like in almost every way. I mean, yeah. And look, now you and I are both completely radicalized and... We're radical girls. We're radical girls.
Starting point is 00:07:33 We embrace the radicality. Yeah, radical twos. Let me just say, Matt Rodgers just mixed to me the strongest vodka Red Bull I've ever had. And it's in a tall, tall tumbler. Well, there's two shots in it. Two full shots. Carl, I have not had a full-on cocktail in like a month. Well, this is part of the new normal,
Starting point is 00:07:55 which is we have to find a way to drink too much, even though we're not going out. And this is just going to be, look, I'm excited that Bowen is here. It's our 200th episode. I mixed us a little celebratory cocktail. And I'm very excited about it because this is not just the 200th episode. We've actually prepared,
Starting point is 00:08:09 which we do not often do for Lost Culture Reasons. We have prepared a list. And it's actually rule of culture number 13. Culture is lists. Absolutely. And Bowen, what is this list?
Starting point is 00:08:26 So it's our 200th episode of Lost Culture Reads, just not counting those little ad swaps where we just do a little 15-minute episode where we show you a preview of a Jaws-themed podcast or whatever. This is our 200th standalone episode. So in honor of this, we have prepared a list
Starting point is 00:08:43 of the top 200 moments in culture history these are the top 200 moments that have happened in culture history as decided by matt rogers and bowen yang lost culture east us we are a little bit drunk but we feel very confident yes about what we've put on the list here today. This is a definitive list that is empirically ordered I would say. Every spot on this list is a huge deal.
Starting point is 00:09:15 It's something that shaped the culture in a positive way from the beginning of recorded history. From our viewpoint which is the empirical objective viewpoint. Because if you actually remember the first episode of Las Culturistas, and we're calling all the way back,
Starting point is 00:09:31 we did say it. If we say it on this podcast, it is canon. Did we say this? Yes, we said we are Las Culturistas. It means we are the arbiters of culture and taste. Yes. I mean, we really evolved over the course of that first episode where we started out.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I do believe we started out by saying we're the consultants of culture. Culture consultants, which is not a phrase we've said since. Not since. But I really want to harken back to that sort of that ethos. And then by the end of the episode, I guess we said that anything that we say is canon. Yeah. Well, even if it wasn't said, I'm saying we said it.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Yes, yes. And what's important is that we, as culture consultants, have consulted with each other. Yes. And I don't trust anyone as much as Bowen Yang. I don't trust anyone as much as Matt Rodgers. And you know this.
Starting point is 00:10:20 I have not been blowing smoke up your ass these last couple of days since I've seen you in person. I was like, Matt Rogers, he's the one. He's the culture maven. Well, and we know that Bowen Yang has, you know, not only created culture in his own right, but he is one of the refined minds of our generation. And this is us sitting in my apartment,
Starting point is 00:10:41 absolutely blowing smoke up each other's buttholes, tight or otherwise. Tight or otherwise. And I have to say, we have raised our drinks. And this is also going out to not only just our incredible team at iHeart, but also shout out to Forever Dog. Shout out to Forever Dog. Shout out to all. Yes, go. Who gave us our start and allowed us to do exactly what we wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Shout out to every single guest we have had on the podcast. Thank you. Thank you. And what else? Anyone that's come to our live shows. I don't think so, honey, live. Anyone that's bought a ticket. Anyone who's performed for that matter.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Performed for that show. And also we have to say to all the readers, thank you, bitch, for listening to Last Culture Reasons, whether you're a recent person who started listening or you've been here from the very beginning. I remember we used to look at our listener count and be like, oh, my God, 62 people listen. And it was huge. I remember the day that we broke three digits, three figures. And that was a big day. I think it was on the Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp episode.
Starting point is 00:11:46 The first one. And they'll be back. And they'll be back. Stay tuned. And they'll be back. But suffice it to say, we have accrued much knowledge over these years doing the podcast. And we came in with our inherited knowledges as homosexual gay men. Yes. And we have put together this list.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Now, Matt alluded to earlier that we consulted with each other on this list. And that is true. There were a couple points of contention together this list. Now, Matt alluded to earlier that we consulted with each other on this list, and that is true. There were a couple points of contention on this list. I wanted to take some stuff off. I wanted to add some stuff in. Matt said, no, we're keeping that. No, we're not putting that in. Although I will say, ultimately, this was a pretty—we only disagreed about two or three items, and pretty much the rest of it is canon.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Of course. But I'm saying this is a collaborative effort this is an effort that we had to yes kind of watch ourselves on on an individual level and be like actually no if this is not important to me this is important to him or it's important to me and not to him and i'm going to fight for its importance this is a beautiful list i think it's some of our best work i think it's some of our best work and i think that everything here has a place here and belongs here and i am excited to start the list the unveiling of the top 200 moments in pop culture history yes okay let's begin the very first thing we have to say there is an honorable mention yes on the list honorable mention she did not make the cut she almost made
Starting point is 00:13:02 the cut ladies and gentlemen number 201 but doesn't really get a number because she did not make the cut she almost made the cut ladies and gentlemen number 201 but doesn't really get a number because she did not make the list it is nicole scherzinger nicole scherzinger give it up i mean i was listening to react today oh what a comeback single a great comeback single and you know i've really respected her since buttons absolutely oh yeah and you've you've had to respect her at some point especially when when she was Andrew Lloyd Webber's erstwhile muse, and then they had a falling out. Well, you know they had a falling out because she wanted to do The X Factor in the UK
Starting point is 00:13:33 because she is famously an international talent show judge. And we respect that. And you respect her because she's an international talent show judge, and she also can turn a musical theater performance. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And the voice, you can't dispute it. You just can't beat it.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I mean, her performance of Don't Cry For Me, Argentina, was absolutely amazing. Andrew Lloyd Webber famously said, I mean, the way she acted that, amazing. And she's incredible, but she did not make the list. She did not make the list. But let's get going. Let's get started on this.
Starting point is 00:14:04 We have to blow past a lot of these items, but let's start with number 200. Let's say it together for all of these. Number 200. When Britney said, good morning, America. Oh, when Britney came out and said, good morning, America, in that voice, I mean, I think that we all knew she was back.
Starting point is 00:14:20 She knew she was back. Promoting her new lead single, Hold It Against Me. Good morning, America. And I promise you, it'll be a morning to remember. See you soon. Would you hold it against me? And then the transition into, would you hold it against me? I mean, there has a lot that can be said about Britney Spears.
Starting point is 00:14:42 She is a revolutionary pop star. But when she came out and said, good morning, America, I feel that America really woke up. She had just... I mean, it sounds like, for the timbre of her voice, it sounded like she had just
Starting point is 00:14:55 swan-dived into a pool, got a little phlegmy in the nose and in the sinus, and then they were like, Britney, you have to shoot your good morning America promo right now. I mean, it sounded like a cartoonishly big hammer hit her right in the nose. And then they were like, Brittany, you have to shoot your Good Morning America promo right now. I mean, it sounded like a cartoonishly big hammer
Starting point is 00:15:07 hit her right in the nose and broke it. I mean, honestly, we will never get answers really as to why it was the way it was. But I can say, in answer to your question, was this iconic? Yes, it was.
Starting point is 00:15:18 And it's number 200 on our list. Yes. Let's move on to number 199. It is TLC's Unpretpretty video this was an amazing video an amazing song that was later covered by glee stars leah michelle leah michelle and i believe diana agron diana when they did unpretty uh mashed up with i feel pretty from west side story iconic mashup but of course we have to go back to the source and that was the unpretty video which starred t-buzz chili and left eye in some sort of future some like sort of floating den there's a
Starting point is 00:15:52 very much their vibe it was off of fan mail and of course we all remember the theme was like y2k digital and it's the video is sort of interspersed with cuts to a bunch of monitors that say things like probe searching or digital search or these very new concepts at the time. Like computers were huge at this time and so what they did was they blended the idea of computers with the idea of
Starting point is 00:16:18 body image. And so they took those two things and put them together and honestly this is an absolute bop of a song. It's lyrics are beautiful and the video took it to the next level you got acting from the girls and i love it when a pop star acts yes and we can't have tlc erasure no no no i mean and we can't have erasure over the fact that t-boss went on celebrity apprentice and was and had to make an impression for our current president. Isn't that crazy? Oh my God. To think that these celebrities had to dance
Starting point is 00:16:47 and to think that T-Boss had something like unpretty inside her and she had to like bow down to Trump. No, please. Trump needs to have some respect for T-Boss and by extension, Chili and Left Eye, who we say rest in peace, Left Eye. You are amazing and an icon. You're amazing and an icon.
Starting point is 00:17:03 What's the next one, Matt? Well, the next one, number 198 on our top 200 items and culture list is the austin powers trilogy starring mike myers i think we can say this was an incredible character an incredible character for mike myers what a vehicle and i you cannot dispute that it was a trilogy oh no there were three films in this series, which makes it a trilogy by definition. And to think of the characters that were born, not just from one film, but two and three films.
Starting point is 00:17:32 You had Fat Bastard. Played by Mike Myers. Played by Mike Myers. You had Goldmember. Played by Mike Myers. You had Seth Green as Scotty. You had Seth Green as Scotty. I mean, also never forget,
Starting point is 00:17:45 probably the iconic character from it all is not even Austin, but I would say Dr. Evil. Dr. Evil, played by Mike Myers. And to think, he is out there playing multiple characters. This obviously is an actor who has been involved in sketch.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yes. And we know that from his origins at Saturday Night Live. Yes. Which puts him in the family. Which puts him in the family. You know, many people say Dr. Evil is based on Mr. Lorne Michaels. Can you
Starting point is 00:18:08 confirm or deny? I can neither confirm nor deny. You'll just have to watch it yourself. Wow. Okay and also we have to shout out the amazing women of the franchise. I'm talking about Elizabeth Hurley, Heather Graham and Beyonce Knowles Carter. The fear in Bowen's eyes as he
Starting point is 00:18:24 checked in with me that it was, in fact, Heather Graham. I was sure that it was Heather Graham. Okay, I wasn't sure if you had left Heather Graham's mind behind back in 2003. Excuse me, this is the Hangover Erasure. Wow. She had a comeback. Her incredible performance,
Starting point is 00:18:39 her incredible versatile performance in the Hangover series. Empowered performance in the Hangover trilogy. An empowered performance. And I think we can all agree that Austin Powers was comedically a formidable trilogy in its time
Starting point is 00:18:51 I'm saying you and I have talked about how I mean I love Austin Powers me too I'm not lying and I want them to do a fourth is our energy manic right now the vodka red bull is hitting me sideways it's fucking me sideways and i am oh i'm happy that someone's getting fucked sideways i'm amped i'm
Starting point is 00:19:11 not you know let's talk about can we talk about something what i did the math i have not had sex since december you did for i for a second i thought you said i did meth no i said i did not have sex and you have not had sex since when i did sex. You did the meth and you have not had sex since when? I did meth and I did the meth. And I have not had sex since December. We don't have to. We can cut this out. That's six months. Yeah. We're not going to cut it out.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Bitch. Well, we'll have to find someone who's COVID free in Los Angeles for you. I literally implore like it's going to be such a fabulous experience for the person fucking you and for you to have sex. That's so much pressure on them and on me. It doesn't have to be a lot of pressure. You know what?
Starting point is 00:19:52 It should be fun. It's actually rule of culture number 11. Sex should be fun. We are minutes into this episode. It sips into our drinks. And 197 away from our top number one moment in culture let's keep going so our number 197 moment of culture is ocean expedition slash exploring of our world seas now matt you put this in explain this i think that once we just once we discovered that we could go into the ocean and
Starting point is 00:20:22 discover the bottom of the seas yes that opened the door to so much culture. Because think about all the culture we would not have if we hadn't been able to explore the seas of the world. You know, Titanic, which we're going to touch on later. Oh, yeah. We would never have had Titanic fever. Finding Dory. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Finding Dory and also finding Nemo we would not have. There are so many things that are happening in the ocean that we need and we require scientists to have the technology to go around the ocean to discover. Do you have any oceanographers, marine biologists that you want to shout out right now? Yes, I would love to shout out Miss Frizzle who got in her, of course, magic school bus,
Starting point is 00:21:00 which famously was magic, and dove to the bottom of the sea. And we should say right now, as I shout her out, Ms. Frizzle did not make the top 200 items of culture. We're so sorry. We're so sorry. We apologize to her. Not that she didn't have an impact.
Starting point is 00:21:13 She just wasn't one of the top 200. She... And we're not talking about her. I have not thought of Ms. Frizzle in so long. I can't say that I have either. It took you to bring her up for me to remember who she was. What is your favorite moment in ocean history?
Starting point is 00:21:28 I think my favorite moment in ocean history was when, I mean, we're going to talk about it later. So I don't want to sort of shoot my load as it were. Blow the load. Blow my load as it were.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Yeah. But, you know, just even the beginning of Titanic, I remember as a kid when they were going down into the rusty rust of the ship, I was like, there's something about this that I love. I want to be down there.
Starting point is 00:21:49 I want to dig up the little things from the fireplace. Absolutely. There's something so great about that. And it just made me, you know, if Titanic, if I followed that thread a little bit more, if I pulled on that a little bit more, I might have been, you know. A marine biologist. You know, Bill Paxton in that movie.
Starting point is 00:22:07 I might have been- You might have been like Bill Paxton in that movie and been able to discover many things, but- And wear an earring. He had an ear piercing, remember? Exactly. He did it in a shaggy haircut. And they cut a plot line where he fucked Susie Amos,
Starting point is 00:22:18 who became James Cameron's wife. But listen, stay tuned. Stay tuned. Stay tuned. You're going to have to stay tuned on that one because let's just say that we may not be done with Titanic Fever. No, sir.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Not yet. Okay. Next one. This next one is 196. It's Will Smith as a rap slash pop star. Who could forget? But you think there's a world where he was a pop star? He was a popular rap artist.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I would go so far as to say that his rap was more pop music than it was like hard rap music. Not that rap music has to be hard, but I would say it got more play on pop radio than it did probably on urban radio. I don't know. I don't have those
Starting point is 00:23:00 facts and figures in front of me, but I think you know, when someone like Will Smith is singing songs like the Wild will smith is singing songs like the wild wild west is singing songs like men in black is singing songs like jiggy with it you know i'm thinking this is someone who's appearing on pop radio with a pop sensibility and he did really have an impact he had a huge impact i would say i remember i really did feel something i never ended up seeing the movie but when the Wild Wild West trailer played on TV Oh honey I was like there's something so cool about this
Starting point is 00:23:31 and and wait this is a Stevie Wonder song like you know it just opened a lot of doors for me culturally Well I'll tell you what you missed out on was some iconic Salma Hayek culture because she is of course the female lead in that little film.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And there's great performances in it. It's a silly, silly movie and you do see a little Will Smith butt in it. Who could dispute that? Who could resist that? No one could resist, especially at that time, Will Smith was a movie star
Starting point is 00:24:01 and a music star, which gets lost. Gets lost. And this is the moment in culture that we wanted to sort of canonize in the list. Right. Great. I wouldn't say anything else that he's done is worth mentioning on this list. Just him as a rap slash pop star, his musical.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Remember Just the Two of Us? Oh my God. Get out of here. Just the two of us. We can make it if we try. Iconic culture. Iconic. The next. two of us we can make it if we try iconic culture iconic um speaking of iconic musical culture bowen this one number 195 is the boy is mine it just it still holds up in a way that is that not a lot of culture does that opening that, that dialogue. I mean, what other songs have dialogue to open
Starting point is 00:24:48 them? I mean, none like this. What we get is a full scene with the two young women. Of course, I'm speaking of Brandy and Monica. Yes. And would we be able to do the dialogue right now? Absolutely. Okay. You're famously Brandy and I'm Monica.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Yeah, that's how we identify excuse me can I please talk to you for a minute sure you know you look kind of familiar yeah you do too I just wanted to know do you know somebody named
Starting point is 00:25:17 you know his name oh yeah definitely I know his name well I just want to let you know that he's mine no no he is mine I I just want to let you know that he's mine. No, no. He is mine. I have a question to ask you. Go ahead, ask. Where do you think they were in that scene? What's the place?
Starting point is 00:25:31 Because I have a clear answer from the very first moment I heard this as a child. I have a clear answer of where they were. Okay, I'm going to say they're at a public pool. Okay, that's cool. I was in elementary school at the time. And so for me, the social hub in elementary school at the time and so for me like the social hub in elementary school is the cafeteria okay even though so even though these were women in their late teens slash early 20s um at the time of recording i imagined them to be in a cafeteria
Starting point is 00:25:56 setting of some sort so you did see them in sort of like a high school vibe i thought it was high school but even like more specifically spatially it was in the cafeteria of my elementary school in Montreal at the time. I get it. In Broussard. I think for me, I associate this as being like a summer jam. Yes. And I think I saw like- A pool, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:16 A pool because it was a summer. And also just like them sort of being at a place where one could be with their group of friends and another could be with their group of friends. And where does that happen? The public pool. But I, I haven't thought about it until this moment. That's,
Starting point is 00:26:34 but isn't that an interesting question to ask? So ask yourself reader where, when you first listened to the boy's mind, where did you think that Brandy and Monica were at the beginning? And also any, any song, any song that you hear, think, where is this happening?
Starting point is 00:26:52 It's actually Rural Culture number 30. Any song that you hear, think, where is this happening? Like on the album Chromatica, we can imagine that a lot of those songs are taking place on Chromatica. Yes. But the geopolitical thoughts around music i think are left out of the conversation right exactly and you know
Starting point is 00:27:10 speaking of geopolitical thoughts we are going to move along to um so so much uh so such a mind went into the creation of this movie but we're not talking about the writing of the movie. We're talking about a specific performance in the movie. 194 on our top 200 is Rooney Mara in The Social Network. Now, why is this culturally important, Bowen? She is in that the character of Erica in The Social Network, Mark Zuckerberg's
Starting point is 00:27:38 fictional, perhaps, former girlfriend, is in I want to say three scenes in the entire movie, but she makes an impact. I mean, she sets up the flaw of Mark Zuckerberg, which is that he is hubristic and whatever, only is concerned about being cool. And she delivers iconic lines such as,
Starting point is 00:27:57 because I watched this movie the other night with my parents. It's on Netflix. And they loved it. They were like, Mark Zuckerberg is like this? I was like, yes, according to Aaron Sorkin. But the line, the girls aren't going to not like you because you're a nerd. They're not going to like you because you're an asshole. And then the internet is not written in pencil.
Starting point is 00:28:13 I think it's written in ink. I mean, she's huge. And I would say it's a tone setting for a fabulous movie. And also, it kind of like did give birth to Rooney Mara, David Fincher Muse, because then she was famously in
Starting point is 00:28:32 Lisbeth Salander. She was Lisbeth Salander and she was famously in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which got her an Oscar nomination. Yes. And would she have done that had she not slayed so hard
Starting point is 00:28:40 in the social network? Also, iconic BU representation. Yes, BU girl. And there's not enough. Not enough BU girls. Yes, BU girl. And there's not enough. Not enough BU girls. There's not enough. We don't see enough BU girls in film. And that's rule of culture number 97.
Starting point is 00:28:51 We don't see enough BU girls in film. We really don't. We're going so slow. We're only seven things in. We're 27 minutes in. Hans, our producer, said heads up, we're 27 minutes in. Well our producer said heads up we're 27 minutes in well no one asked him let's no one asked him through these no
Starting point is 00:29:10 one 93 is he's doing a little cute little sort of smiley face with the tongue sticking out but no one asked him no one asked him what rule of culture number I mean this is not rule of culture this is a moment cultural moment number 193 is Matt Rogers and Sui Green appearing on
Starting point is 00:29:26 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I won $5,000 and Sudi Green was my phone-a-friend aka plus one because they got rid of phone-a-friend. It was very much not a lucrative moment, but it was an entertaining moment. And Chris Harrison shook your hand very hard.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Chris Harrison did a Trump shake on my hand where he shook it and pulled me in to assert dominance over me. And you can find it online and I am not lying. And okay, let's move on to number 192. Alaska's Mae West Snatch Game Performance. Oh, why don't you come up and fuck me in the ass sometime? I think the undisputed best snatch game performance ever
Starting point is 00:30:03 followed very closely by Jinx's Little Edie. Absolutely, I would say. And really what this does, this Alaska's Mae West moment on the list really represents all Snatch Games because it is a moment of culture. It's a moment of culture. So we're moving forward.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Number 191 on the list of top 200 moments in culture history. It's the game tag. You know what? You love it. You played it likely with many girls. They made a movie about it. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:33 And it's the game of when you are running around and you tag someone with your hands. Yes. And they become quote unquote it. Yes. Yes. It's actually rule of culture number four. When you are tagged, you become, quote unquote, it. Let's just keep going.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Number 190 is Jaws Ride Opens at Universal Studios. Now, this was an iconic moment in my personal culture, and I think the culture of many, which was you could board a ship in Universal Studios in amity arbor yes and that ship would be repeatedly attacked by the villainous shark jaws yes and how would jaws meet its demise it would bite onto an electrocuted wire well yes it would bite onto the electrocuted wire and explode in flames it would then arrive at the surface of the water as a charred mess and then it lunges at the boat one final time.
Starting point is 00:31:26 The skipper shoots a shotgun at it. It finally dies. And that is how you survive the menace of Jaws. And I can say here and now it no longer exists but for the one in Japan. Yes, but for the one in Japan. So you've got to go out there to Japan if you want to ride it. Otherwise, I just can't help you. We're going to go there someday very soon once it's day the real housewives of salt lake city are back i love that oh my gosh welcome and last season's

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,
Starting point is 00:33:53 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.

Starting point is 00:35:07 You love it. And who are you usually when you play? I'm usually a Peach in the old school games, but in the new school games, I like to be a Wario. I like to be a Toadette. So you like to be a Wario and a Toadette. I am always going to be Miss Toad.
Starting point is 00:35:19 You love Miss Toad. I love Toad because I feel she was moving around the fastest. I love the kind of sounds she made such as this. Yahoo! That's good. I thought that that was so enthusiastic and I loved her freedom. I don't know why I'm calling Toad a female. I don't think Toad really has a gender.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Don't misgender Toad. No, Toad is male. You feel this way? Toad is male. There is a famously trans character in the Mario canon, which is Birdo. Who is Birdo, I should say. Birdo is trans. That's a real thing?
Starting point is 00:35:49 Yes. She was assigned male at birth, and in the lore of the second Mario, the whole thing was Bird, like back then, and this is like the rough Japanese translation, but it was Birdo thinks he's a girl. But then Mario and Nintendo have sort of grown along with the time socially.
Starting point is 00:36:06 And they're like, no, Birdo's trans. Is that serious? It's serious. Look it up. Oh my god, I love that. Moving on to number 188. It's Celine Dion's Las Vegas residency. Really made being in Vegas what it is. And she kept it for so long.
Starting point is 00:36:22 She kept it going for so long. It was the double E thing to do with your mother when you were in Vegas. Absolutely. And, you know, she's also kept those vocals up. We can see her with that mask on, that sort of Celine mask with Iconic Culture is that image. And we have to thank Renee.
Starting point is 00:36:38 We have to thank Renee. We can't really get into how... Angelil. It's a little... It feels a little predatory to me that Renee, you know, went after Celine. You went there. You really went there.
Starting point is 00:36:50 We have to... It's 2020. We got to talk about these things. We love that Celine loved him. Yeah. But, you know, we've got to question Renee's motives at the time. Certainly an odd relationship,
Starting point is 00:37:01 but one that did stand the test of time. Yes. And she was with him until his dying day. And, you know, Celine, we thank you for your incredible talent, the way you touch the world. Yes. And we remember Renee, even though we have questions about the genesis of the relationship, but that's really none of our business, is it? No. French Canadian queen.
Starting point is 00:37:21 French Canadian queen. We just bring it up. We just bring it up. That's all. We bring it up. And that'sadian queen we just bring it up um we just bring it up that's all we bring it up and that's our role is to bring it up now bowen one number 187 huge nadia achieving a perfect 10 in gymnastics had never been done before and then she did it so many times at that olympics you know she received over six top 10 score 10 perfect 10s you know this off the top of your head i looked it up actually today because i was thinking about putting it on the list and then i saw that you had already added it and i thought okay we are
Starting point is 00:37:54 simpatico because i also just recently watched the documentary athlete a on netflix which is a startling watch yes but I think an important watch. And they talk about how Nadia was like the prototype for that young, young, young girl that they created into like an Olympics monster. The world over because China's fucked up with this too. Oh, completely fucked. And I mean, the fact of the matter is, like, we have to have
Starting point is 00:38:25 a serious look at the way we are sort of grooming these young girls to be these machine athletes because we see that in the US it kind of got a little out of control. And by a little control I mean a lot out of control. The doctor
Starting point is 00:38:41 was a sexual predator. Oh my god. But was it an achievement that Nadia got those 10s? Yes, it was. the doctor was a sexual predator so oh my god but was it an achievement that Nadia got those tens yes it was and it was a moment in culture let's go to 186 what is this Shelly Duvall in The Shining wow we all remember her running about that house
Starting point is 00:38:57 with the knife I mean the screams the most iconic scream in film history oh can you do it it's pretty good sorry Doug literally our engineer Doug scream in film history. Oh, can you do it? It's pretty good. Sorry, Doug. Oh my god. Literally, our engineer, Doug, I know his head absolutely exploded on that one. But she was giving you, and Stanley
Starting point is 00:39:14 Kubrick was, I mean, psychologically torturing this poor woman. Oh, yeah. And I think it had a lasting impact on her because Miss Duvall, we hope she's doing well now, but, you know, things took a turn. Hi, I'm Shelley Duvall. Those were the glory days of Shelley. But now, like, she was in an interview, like, a few years ago.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Just, like, she's in a bad way. Poor Shelley. She, you know, I think we got an amazing performance out of her. But at what cost? At what cost? It did create culture. Let's keep going. Okay, so number 185 is the name amanda culture so there
Starting point is 00:39:49 are so many millions of women across america are named amanda yes and this is a name that you know very similar to the name chris i think with men amanda has really taken over and amanda has absolutely revolutionized the hollywood industry because every publicist is named amanda yes many managers and agents named amanda and some talent named amanda some talent is named amanda i would say that amanda made a huge impact on the culture but not even just in showbiz let's not limit it to showbiz no i would say in classroom in elementary school classrooms everywhere where there were at least four Amandas in every class. Amanda, really, when we were growing up, it really took the world by storm.
Starting point is 00:40:34 From the years 1987 to 1992, there were approximately a billion Amandas. A billion Amandas who are now in positions of middle management and even executive leadership. And you cannot dispute Amanda. But, you know, we don't forget the Amandas that have been left behind. Yes. You know, and some Amandas, they feel that they must shorten their name to Mandy. And we're thinking of them. We're thinking of them.
Starting point is 00:40:55 And we are not going to tell you what to do either way, but, you know, just go back to your roots. You're an Amanda. You have our support. Number 184 on our top 200 list. Dakota Fanning sets a child actress precedent and is eaten by her own sister Elle. Who could forget when Dakota Fanning really set the tone for child actresses
Starting point is 00:41:13 and then was eaten by her own sister Elle Fanning. Yeah, what do you think was the last great Dakota Fanning work? I want to say it's Uptown Girls. I was going to say it's Uptown Girls and World War of the Worlds. World War of the Worlds. War of the Worlds, she War of the Worlds. War of the Worlds, she was phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Excellent. If you can hold your own opposite Tom Cruise. Oh, my God. You're really something. You are a real talent if you can hold your own off against that crazy man. But let's not forget, I mean, once upon a time in Hollywood, she played Squeaky Farm. Squeaky.
Starting point is 00:41:42 I didn't see this. She's phenomenal. Well, she's an incredible talent. She's an incredible talent. And you know that she consistently works in television now on that show with Luke Evans. I don't watch this show. Who is like fully gay, by the way.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I didn't realize this. Oh my God, no. He's like literally the hottest and he's very gay on his Instagram and he said this thing on Pride where he posed with his boyfriend and I didn't realize he had like come out and then I realized maybe he never did,
Starting point is 00:42:07 which I love. Which, oh God, he didn't have to publicize it too much. Oh, here we go. Someone wrote, the alienist angel of darkness. Thank you, Hans. So what we've got here is Hans has come in and in huge bold made us know
Starting point is 00:42:21 that the series that Dakota Fanning is in is called The Alienist, but we of, remember her best from her incredible performances in Uptown Girls. I am Sam. I am Sam. Member of that movie, the scary movie with Robert De Niro, Hide and Seek.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Yes. That was shocking. Shocking. Wait, we have to talk about Elle. We're ignoring the Elle of it all. And she completely ate her own sister. I mean, Elle came in and was in Maleficent 1 and 2. But Elle was coming in not as a child actress,
Starting point is 00:42:49 and she was more of a teen, like, ingenue-y, you know? Now she's in The Great, getting amazing notices. But like, Super 8 into Maleficent,
Starting point is 00:42:59 into, um, She was a kid in Super 8. She was a kid in Super 8, but that, um, that movie, that Sofia Coppola movie. The Beguiled. Beguiled, The Beguiled. She was incredible in The Be 8. She was a kid in Super 8, but that movie, that Sofia Coppola movie.
Starting point is 00:43:06 The Beguiled. The Beguiled. She was incredible in The Beguiled. Very funny. Very funny in The Beguiled. She's really come out at, and also 20th Century Women, don't forget. 20th Century Women. She's so good.
Starting point is 00:43:16 She's got the damn resume. She does. And Dakota used to have the resume, but that's what happens when you set a precedent is your own sister might eat you. But we're saying that Dakota is still very much established and working on very good projects she is a gold standard she's just not sort of um she couldn't have stayed a child forever yeah i mean well you know i hope that she comes back with an adult role yes okay so whatever 183 is the real housewives of Potomac. You've got Karen. You've got Fugger. You've got Giselle.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Oh my God. Ashley. Oh, we've got an amazing cast and also real drama, real stakes. And honestly, the other franchises need to take a page out of the Potomac book, scale it back,
Starting point is 00:44:00 get human drama, real drama. And honestly, we need a full reboot of these other franchises. And I'm not afraid to say it on this podcast. Nothing is doing what Potomac is doing. And for that, it gets listed on our number 183
Starting point is 00:44:16 on top 200 moments of culture history. Is the cocktail hitting you? Yes. Number 182 is Rosie Perez dancing in the opening credits of Do the Right Thing. Bowen Yang, speak on this.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Specifically in the opening credits of Do the Right Thing. Obviously a huge movie, a seminal movie, one of Spike Lee's best works. But Rosie Perez dancing to Fight the Power. Huge.
Starting point is 00:44:41 I mean, what a huge moment. Sexual, powerful, political, all at once. And you couldn't have had it with anyone else but Miss Rosie Perez, who went on to do great things. And she was an Oscar nominee for the film Fearless, and we respect.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Number 181 is Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken, a.k.a. Glambert and Clay Made Culture, a.k.a. Middle-Aged Women Love gays. I think enough has been said about that. That's the full explanation.
Starting point is 00:45:08 And we speak for itself. Number 180, Jane Fonda workouts. Because she's most commonly, I think, known as an actress and an activist, but we know her primarily as a buns of steel queen. A woman in five acts, a oh with buns of steel oh please revolutionizing the way white women got their skinny little tight booties yes and it was a revolution it was a revolution not televised but on tape oh the revolution, but on tape. Oh, The Revolution will be on tape. It's actually rule of culture number 200.
Starting point is 00:45:46 The Revolution will be on tape if Jane Fonda has anything to say about it. 179 is the second half of Gone Girl, the book. Girl, when that twist hit you that she was still alive, spoiler alert, I've never had more fun while reading. The cool girl monologue? Yes. Oh, that was writing. Thank you, Gillian Flynn. Thank you, Gillian.
Starting point is 00:46:11 You served it up on that one. Thank you. And now 178. Aunt Viv getting recast on Fresh Prince. Now, why did this happen? And why is it important that we comment on it? And you know, there's no time. We're going to move on to 177 number 177 emily blunt's breakout work in the devil wears prada this was emily blunt absolutely entering the main stage and you were like who is this woman is she
Starting point is 00:46:41 really british because she's laying on this accent thick, but then you find out, Oh, she really is British. But the moments in that movie, I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. And also you can never forget. I'm only one stomach flew away from my goal. Wait, I have Patrick.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Amazing. Unbelievable. I mean, listen, Emily Blunt, we have her today because of her golden globe nominated work and the devil was Prada. And we hashtag stam.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Wait, before we move on, remember when her and Anne Hathaway presented the Oscars for Meryl that year and it was a whole bit and it was like funnier than any, you know, any comedy, any comedy I've ever seen. It was funnier than any comedy I've ever seen. And Emily Blunt, I'll never forget when she, when she snaps her fingers, like to tell Anne Hathaway to go into the room. So good.
Starting point is 00:47:29 So good. Thank you, Emily. So speaking of ladies who are high fashion, we have number 176, Rihanna at the Met Ball Gala. Wow, the Met Ball Gala. Bowen Yang is feeling his Red Bull vodka. Now, what are some incredible looks of Rihanna at the Met Gala? I'm, of course, always remembering her yellow moment with that huge circular train.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Oh, my God. We always remember the Pope outfit. Papal. Papal. The Catholic imagination theme, of course. We remember so much Rihanna she is the number one met gala moment she is the staple and remember she is out there you know not necessarily making music but she has pivoted to fashion in a way that is controversial but we respect i'm for
Starting point is 00:48:18 it i'm all for it i'm for it okay so 175 every time kenny died on South Park and they say, oh my God, you killed Kenny, you bastard. You bastard. It was really Cartman who said, you killed Kenny. And remember when every kid in elementary school was doing their Cartman voice? I remember this so vividly. So vivid.
Starting point is 00:48:41 And I remember moving from Montreal to Colorado and then all the kids in the third grade being like, well, you're moving to where they do South Park. That's where South Park is. And I was like, that actually gave me a lot of cool capital right as I was leaving. And so there we go.
Starting point is 00:48:54 That's local culture. And now 174 is the Big Bang. Largely believed to be the beginning of our universe. So of course this is the Big Bang, which was a huge, don't how did it happen um i think it happened like one adam you know kind of got fucked up and then started the whole and then and then the universe started to expand that's how well thank god well thank god i mean you you really can't yeah we have the Big Bang to thank for all of this. We really do.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Wouldn't you say? I mean, we would not be sitting here without the Big Bang. And so I definitely pour out some respect to her. All right. So this is 173. This is Kate Blanchett in Notes on a Scandal saying, You wanna fuck me, Barbara? I just think a screenplay that we remember.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Yes. Number 172 is Claymation Technology. Claymation Technology. Now, this is the act of sort of making little clay figures. Yes. Move. Sort of making them move, and then we get amazing things like-
Starting point is 00:50:01 Chicken Run. Like Chicken Run. Starring Mel Gibson. I forgot that he was in that. And he was just things like... Chicken Run. Like Chicken Run. Starring Mel Gibson. I forgot that he was in that. And he was just dropped from the Chicken Run sequel for all of his resurfaced anti-Semitic and homophobic comments. Wait, he was just dropped from the Chicken Run sequel? Part of the news that kind of maybe got lost
Starting point is 00:50:17 in the Mel Gibson news cycle of it all after Winona Ryder decided to speak out again, thankfully, is that DreamWorks was, I think, going to do another chicken run with Mel Gibson attached some 20 years later, but it's like, we can't have Mel Gibson in movies anymore.
Starting point is 00:50:33 I don't think we can have Mel Gibson in film anymore. But Claymation Technology stands as number 172. But we're happy we have Claymation. Of course, Rudolph. Rudolph. Is that Claymation? I think it is Claymation.
Starting point is 00:50:43 I think it qualifies. Okay, so number 171 is Nicole Kidman's American accent. As seen in Big Little Lies, as seen in many films, her American accent is very American. I would say it's very Australian. Wow. I would say it's very Australian learning American. There you go. And that's the perfect middle ground.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And 170 is Kate Winslet's American accent. Yes, of course, it's very stressed. You know, you can hear this in, you know, such films as Revolutionary Road. Such films as Steve Jobs. And, you know, Titanic, which stay tuned. Stay tuned. Actually, no, Steve Jobs,
Starting point is 00:51:20 she played like a Slavic woman. Polish, yes. Yeah. I don't know why I said Steve Jobs. There was some interesting accent work going on in that Oscar nominated performance of course 169 on our list is
Starting point is 00:51:31 Saoirse Ronan's American accent you're so infuriating I can't even come up with a line this is how drunk I am so infuriating you're so infuriating I think women have lives.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I don't even know what the full line is. She definitely is American in those films. Yes. Outside of the films, she's decidedly not. And we see that sort of dialogue between Saoirse, between Nicole, between Kate. But for none of them do I think, I don't think the accent work takes away from the performance. Exactly. And you know what? Three talents. Three think the accent work takes away from the performance. Exactly. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:52:05 Three talents. Three huge talents. Three talents. White women talents. Yeah. And so speaking of talents and white women. Yes. Number 168 is Christina Applegate in all of her many projects.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Can you speak to some of these projects that Christina Applegate has been involved in? You know, as someone who still hasn't seen Dead to me i still appreciate this hold on let me say married with children huge yes yes anchorman legend of ron burgundy huge come on iconic and samantha b no samantha who samantha who not samantha b smith is famously someone else someone we also have um the incredible Bad Moms. Bad Moms. Oh my God, who could forget? And honestly, if no one has seen Dead to Me out there,
Starting point is 00:52:52 and some have, it's not like no one has seen it, but you have to check it out. Dead to Me is culture. And of course, also culture is Linda Cardellini, who unfortunately did not make the top 200 list. But we do shout her out. 167. Christmas. Well, could you even
Starting point is 00:53:08 have culture without Christmas? I don't think you could have culture without Christmas. For Christmas to have its own genre of music, it might as well be country. Oh, it might as well be country. It's actually rule of culture number 50. Christmas might as well be country.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Country is not on the list now country is not on the list it's not on the list country music did not make it did not make it but Christmas as a season as a holiday as a vibe definitely made it
Starting point is 00:53:32 because you know it affects so many people in terms of you know and I hate to say it but the capitalist sort of machine yes you know it's like saying like
Starting point is 00:53:42 you can't you can't be like I don't see color in a racist society, even though it's a social construct. Capitalism is a social construct. You can't say, I don't believe in money. Right. And you can't say, I don't believe in Christmas,
Starting point is 00:53:53 because we live in a Christmas culture. We live actually in a Christmas culture. And actually, if you really think about how many months out of the year Christmas decides its optimal culture, it's really crazy. And we need to be talking about it. And I say, where's that 2020? Where's that 2020?
Starting point is 00:54:08 Where's that 2020? 166 is when the French judge was not fair towards the Canadian figure skaters. You remember this? I actually don't. And you put this on the list. Oh, my God. This is when the Canadians doubles figure skaters were absolutely incredible what year they got this was years ago and there was doubles figure skating and the russian couple
Starting point is 00:54:32 beat them even though the the canadian figure skaters had absolutely slated i vaguely remember you found out it came out that the french judge had a biased vote and there was a little bit of a fix going in so they gave them co-gold medals oh my god i can't believe you of canadian culture don't remember when the canadian figure skaters got the shaft why isn't there a movie optioned about this well we should write it we should write it and that's the thing it's like when there's not a movie of things you have you have to write them and that's a rule of culture number 17. When there's not a movie of things, you have to write them. Let's move on to 165. The Eminem versus Skittles conversation slash debate.
Starting point is 00:55:16 I mean, it's a tale as old as time. People debating what's better, Eminems or Skittles. Where do you stand? I stand firmly on the side of my Eminem sisters. Okay. What do you stand i stand firmly on the side of my eminem sisters okay what do you say as someone who enjoys sweets and sugary sweets over chocolate i'm a skittles girl and i love skittles and i always will the beginning of a new conflict between us the beginning Let's move on to 164. This is Jonas Salk inventing the polio vaccine. Go on, Fish. Tell us
Starting point is 00:55:50 about Miss Salk. Miss Salk was successful in the concept of inoculating your immune system with a weaker version of a virus such as polio, such as coronavirus. And this is going to be the thing that sort of lifts us all,
Starting point is 00:56:05 hopefully, out of the current squalor that we're in. I mean, you know, let's not get too used to this. The goal is to get out of this situation with the help of multiple vaccines, several of them in phase three trials at the moment of this recording in late June. And, you know, we will not achieve herd immunity if we don't, if enough people
Starting point is 00:56:27 do not get vaccinated. So let's, we have to beat back this tide of the anti-vax movement and make sure that everyone gets equitable access to a vaccine once it is invented. Number 163 is Big Ol' Freak by Megan Thee Stallion.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Absolutely burst onto the scene Hot Girl Summer indeed Hot Girl Lifetime more like Hot Girl Lifetime more like we would not have Hot Girl Summer we would not have none of it Cash Shit or the Savage remix
Starting point is 00:56:54 or Hood Girls I mean this was to me the single that launched Megan's career Big Ol' Freak I would agree and this is the first one you turned to my attention and I knew that you were serious about it because of the way you squealed.
Starting point is 00:57:07 I squeal for Megan. You are a squealer for Megan, and I am too. Can you just tell the listeners that I was in on the ground floor with Megan? I can confirm to the listeners, Bowen Yang was one of the first to even be speaking about Megan, the stallion, in the way that we all are. Thank you. I'm just saying, you need to respect.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Just like we need to respect number 162, Joe Millionaire. This, of course, was the reality show where several contestants thought that the suitor they were competing for was a millionaire named Joe Millionaire. His name, I think, was actually Evan. It was revealed to the ladies
Starting point is 00:57:43 that he actually was not a millionaire after all he was like a simple farm person and the woman he picked Zora had to deal with that and they did not make it they did not make it but there was a lot of tension in that final episode because Zora first said no rejected the proposal and then said she came back
Starting point is 00:58:00 and said yes I think probably because she was trapped in a situation and coerced by producers i'd be very curious to see how zora's doing now unfortunately we won't have that answer in this episode but perhaps in a future installment number 161 is art pop i mean an amazing album i think yes ahead of its time ahead of its time as our friend Sam Taggart has written about in Vulture. It is her Pinkerton. It is the album that was released to critical panning and then over time has developed a nice patina
Starting point is 00:58:32 and we've all sort of, we listened back to it now and we're like, this is actually genius. Applause is amazing. We were too hard on it. Donatella is incredible. GUY, watch the video again. It's the last time Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump
Starting point is 00:58:45 were able to be in the same place. Wow. And Do What You Want, unfortunately a great song, but we have the Christina Aguilera version. Yes, we do. Which is the definitive version. Which I believe is superior. And also never forget the ballad Dope.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Dope, oh no. I like it. She performed Indentures at the YouTube Music Festival. Need you more than dope. And number 160 is another song. It's called The Song Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This famously appeared in the film Wizard of Oz and went on to have quite an impact on the culture.
Starting point is 00:59:20 It's, you know, we get to graft a lot of queer meaning onto the song now. But, you know, the song also, in terms of the filmic narrative aspect of it, you know, sets up Dorothy's want. And it's beautiful. It sort of gets us into act two of the movie, which is when she lands in Oz, wouldn't you say? And it's a favorite of American Idol contestants. Kimberly Locke. Kimberly Locke. And I'm so happy that when we talk about Somewhere Over the Rainbow, we also say the name Kimberly Locke.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Thank you. Number 159. Kelly Rowland saying she's the second lead vocalist of the group. Huge. I mean, when she proclaimed that she was the second lead vocalist of the group and she earned that look from Beyonce, this is a YouTube video that you can all look up. Just type in Kelly Rowland, second lead vocalist of the group. You will not be upset that you did. Kelly Rowland invented a
Starting point is 01:00:09 sort of role in groups and musical groups called the second lead vocalist of the group, even though the term lead vocalist would imply that there's only one. Second lead vocalist would require us to believe there are two lead vocalists and one is sort of main and one is second.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Yes. And honestly, she did correctly label herself. She was the second lead vocalist of that group. And this was, didn't she say this during the first iteration of Destiny's Child? She said it when there were still four. When there was four. So in a way, you couldn't be like,
Starting point is 01:00:38 if it was just her, Michelle, and Beyonce, and she was like, I'm the second lead vocalist of the group, that's a huge fuck you to Michelle. But when she's saying it when there's four that's a fuck you to Latavia and Latoya yes obviously I mean she didn't mean any harm but at that point could she have done anything correctly
Starting point is 01:00:54 probably not probably was hell to be Kelly Rowland no number 158 is Miss Teen USA South Carolina answer to her debate question. I forget what it was. It was about textbooks or something.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Well, she definitely mentioned textbooks and how there needs to be more education in schools. But please look up on YouTube, Miss Teen USA South Carolina answer, epically bad. Yes, you all know it. You all love it, don't you? We've got to move on because this's almost an hour in and we are
Starting point is 01:01:26 nowhere near getting to the top of the list so number 157 is Cher's guest appearance on Will and Grace what chemistry with Sean Hayes she had such chemistry with Sean Grace you know that was 30 minutes of work
Starting point is 01:01:41 door to door and she was incredible. And that was famously where we developed a vocabulary around, if I could turn back time. And also she said snap out of it and earned a check. Yep. Number 156 is Simon, Paula, and Randy. You remember these three.
Starting point is 01:02:00 These were the three in a lot of ways, the original three. Yes, and they are really the three. Yes. Now, going forward, we have 155. When Kenan and Kel did the orange soda bit. Tell us why it's so important. Well, this was so good because it was a reliable bit in the show, Kenan and Kel, that happened, I think, every episode?
Starting point is 01:02:24 I think it was every episode. If not every episode, then very close to. And really what Kel was asking was, who loves orange soda? And by the time the bit was over, you knew what the answer was, Kel. Kel loves orange soda. Kel loves orange soda.
Starting point is 01:02:37 Is it true? He do, he do, he do, ooh. And this actually really did enforce upon us in a young comedic age that really comedy is commitment. And it's repetition. It's commitment. It's repetition. It's volume.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Volume. And it's saying things in a voice. And we should just say that Keenan and Kel are sketch comedy legends and icons. They are the legendary two. The legendary two. Let's keep going. Speaking of legendary two. Yes. let's keep going speaking of legendary two yes number 154 is brangelina mr and mrs smith oh they met on the set of that film and boy let me tell
Starting point is 01:03:14 you it was kaputs for brad pitt and jennifer aniston at that point because brangelina stepped onto the scene and they were the power couple for a little while there don't you love that this huge hollywood power couple met on the set of a fine movie i think it's a good movie and i think if you saw it again you would actually agree with me and it is hashtag an early kerry washington vehicle you're right it's an early kerry washington vehicle if you look up any sort of screenwriting like treatment examples mr and mrs smith for some reason the treatment is available and everyone sort of gets to read that and treatment examples. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, for some reason, the treatment is available, and everyone sort of gets to read that and model their treatments and their outlines. A hundred percent.
Starting point is 01:03:50 Number 153 is... The Great Gatsby Book. Not the movie. The book. The book. This is a very important book. If you're in high school, you've probably read it. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:01 If you're in high school, you don't need to see the movie. No one needs to see the movie. It's not Baz Luhrmann's's finest work i don't think that would be moulin rouge i would say that would be moulin rouge i think the book is great i think the book is short it's you can read it in one night when sitting um we love that cover with the eyes oh the cover with the eyes yes now 152 is Jamila Jamil's multiple slash conflicting stories about getting chased by bees. Now can you elaborate on this? She has multiple accounts where she talks about the kind of very distressing experience of being chased by bees out onto a street with moving cars.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Oh my god. Poor thing. The settings vary from temporally and geographically that she was in England and she was young and teenager or that she was or that this happened two weeks ago outside the UN when the Pakistani delegation was visiting or
Starting point is 01:05:02 something like that. I mean there's just a lot of stories of Jamila Jamil, firsthand accounts of her being chased by bees onto a street. And I think it's iconic culture. I think it's moving the culture forward. We get to sort of talk about bees and their place in our celebrities' lives. Well, yeah, I would agree.
Starting point is 01:05:20 But I also, I'm concerned for her. And I wish that Jamila would stay inside. You know, I'm concerned for her if every time she leaves her home that she has a bee encounter. I hope that she finds a way, you know, to really do a lot of work from inside.
Starting point is 01:05:31 I bet quarantine has actually been kind of good for her because she can sort of sit at the computer and not worry about bees unless, you know, they're so obsessed with her that they're making a way into her, her home, which I really hope is not. I hope it's not the case. And we're wishing,
Starting point is 01:05:43 wishing the best for you Jamila and we're thinking of you. We love you, Jamila. This is number 151. It is Honey Nut Cheerios. Speaking of bees, honey, Jamila, you're not going to want to eat any Honey Nut Cheerios because these are famously Honey Nut Cheerios. That means they're Cheerios that are
Starting point is 01:06:00 covered in Honey Nut. What do you think Honey Nut is? I think it's when bees come. Now we're going to move on to 150, which is Natalie and Mila's relationship in Black Swan. Wow, who could forget the film Black Swan and the relationship therein between Natalie and Mila.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Natalie really kind of playing the role of the white swan here and then Mila playing the role of the titular black swan. And the question looming in the air, will Natalie have what it takes to sort of become the black swan? And what does that mean for Mila? Now, do you think Mila is dead by the end of the movie? I would say that she's alive. Is she in the closet? Natalie has sort of envisioned the black swan and the Mila that comes to her later on in the movie.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Spoiler alert, who she stabs. And puts it in the closet. Do you remember this part? No, because you remember at the end of the movie, Mila appears and is clapping for Natalie. Oh, you're right. You're right. Where to assume is the audience that Mila was never really there antagonizing Natalie. It was all in her head.
Starting point is 01:07:05 But Natalie is definitively dead by the end of the movie. I would say, I think that's what the director Darren Aronofsky and Natalie would want to get across. But you know, it's open to interpretation like a lot of film and you know, all of our readers watch black Swan and let us know what you think about the ending.
Starting point is 01:07:21 We want to hear. Disgusting! 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'm Julian Edelman. I'm Rob Gronkowski.

Susan Lucci of the Olympics. Well, you know, Susan Lucci ended up winning her Emmy. Then you can't even say she's the... Jackie Cox can't even say she's the Susan Lucci of drag. No.

Starting point is 01:12:41 So tied for 145 and in 146 are michelle yo in crazy rich asians crouching tiger hidden dragon i guess we should just talk about michelle yo as a whole because these two performances are very different very different very dynamic and we have to we have to remind the reader in case they don't know already, that we met her one time. We met her when she was doing press for Star Trek when we were interviewing her at Vulture Fest. And she was very cool.
Starting point is 01:13:13 Very cool. And she had a lot of reverence from her castmates. And I even slipped in a quick thing. And this was before Crazy Rich Asians came out, but I was like, I'm so excited for Crazy Rich Asians. I kind of crossed a boundary and I feel weird about it. I don't feel you did. But I was like, all so excited for Crazy Rich Asians I like I kind of crossed a boundary and I feel weird about it I don't feel you did but I was like I was like it's all I said was it's very inspiring to me when I looked her in her
Starting point is 01:13:30 eye and she looked and she her facial expression changed in a way that was like she registered what I was saying to her as an Asian person and she was like thank you and I really felt it she is a dream you saw that moment right oh I saw it I mean we were both there I mean it was very obvious that she was the international star in the room and she was treated as such which we
Starting point is 01:13:51 love number 144 is kale's designation as a superfood kale has really had a moment i would say kale as soon as they said it's a superfood, I mean, that was like the debutante ball. And you saw Kale everywhere. Oh, and I think that, you know what song sounded different after that? 7-Eleven? Diana Ross. Oh. I'm coming out. I think that became about Kale.
Starting point is 01:14:17 And you were like, this is about Kale. I said 7-Eleven because Beyonce wore that famous sweatshirt that said Kale on it. Yeah, she was iconic in that sweatshirt. And then all of a sudden you saw people wearing it. People like you. People like me. I don't have that sweatshirt. I have a different Beyonce sweatshirt.

Yeah, that was one of the first times we saw just Gwen Stefani in a way that was like, okay, maybe there doubt was to be a feature on something like that. Yeah. That was one of the first times we saw and just went Stefani in a way that was like, okay, maybe there's going to be a moment here. And,

Starting point is 01:15:25 the top 400 on our list although i will say the closest sort of candidate that quinn stefani would have had on this list was um on the song make me like you which came out in like 2014 2015 um she just has a hook in there or like a motif i would say where she keeps going oh god remember that i actually have to say something yes i remember that and i take it she just has a hook in there or like a motif, I would say, where she keeps going.

Starting point is 01:17:56 and eatery in Animal Kingdom that's closest to Pandora. It is the nicest restaurant there, but it is not in the World of Pandora, and we are talking about the World of Pandora right now. So let's talk about the World of Pandora. It's got nicest restaurant there, but it is not in the world of Pandora. And we are talking about the world of Pandora right now. So let's talk about the world of Pandora.

Starting point is 01:18:38 that Tiffin's is great but it is not on the list of top 200 things in culture. The world of Pandora is and we don't have time to talk about it. We don't. Unfortunately Bowen
Starting point is 01:18:46 has eaten all the time. I'm so sorry. Number 137 is Patty Harrison reveals feud with Ellen DeGeneres on Las Culturas podcast. Now this was an incredible moment where we've had really a first celebrity feud unveiled
Starting point is 01:19:02 on our podcast. This was a big deal and it kind of developed over Patty's appearances on the podcast. Yeah. Where at first it was, um, Ellen just being generally transphobic and Patty taking issue with that. And then on Patty's second appearance on the show, she talked about a specific incident where Ellen,
Starting point is 01:19:22 um, murdered a lot of concert co-hosts. Patty's first open, her first night in her tour at Stockholm and flipped onto the stage and called Patty many slurs. And we should all say this is all quote unquote alleged. So this is an alleged feud that happened between pop stars Patty Harrison and Ellen DeGeneres and only she can confirm. But thank you Patty for being brave enough
Starting point is 01:19:46 to share your story here on the podcast. And number 136 is... Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman in Batman Returns. Who could forget when she got pushed out of that window by Christopher Walken, and then she was licked alive by cats and became a supervillain, really. And put together the most form-fitting
Starting point is 01:20:08 sort of costume that we've ever seen in supervillain history. Oh, unbelievable. She had to be sewn into the costume in real life. Just a little culture fact there. So number 135 on the list is Marilyn Monroe and by extension, Smash. So we wouldn't have Smash, the show, the musical they're in,
Starting point is 01:20:28 without really Marilyn Monroe, who was a bombshell to end all bombshells. Oh, yeah. The namesake bombshell in Smash, the musical television show that we would not have had had it not been for Marilyn Monroe's existence. Some like it hot, more like we like it Marilyn. We like it Norma Jean. Uh like it, Marilyn. We like it, Norma Jean. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:20:47 Let's keep going, 134. The Motorola Razr. Now, the Motorola Razr was a huge phone back in the day. Huge phone.
Starting point is 01:20:57 The aspirational phone, in fact, the iPhone before there were iPhones. I mean, it was the Motorola Razr, the Sidekick, and BlackBerry
Starting point is 01:21:03 all sort of swirling in the same pool, but as, you know Sidekick and Blackberry all sort of swirling in the same pool but as you know in our lives in our sort of developments as non-solvent financial
Starting point is 01:21:11 non-financially solvent high school students I mean the Motorola Razr was the closest thing we could get to like status phone

Starting point is 01:21:22 walkie talkie I'm not sure okay well we can move on. Okay. Number 133 is Neopets. Were you ever a Neopet kid? No, I was more like a Tamagotchi girl.
Starting point is 01:21:33 Okay. I respect that. What is Neopets to you? Neopets to me was kind of the first, I understood that the internet could be a vessel for capitalism where, you know, if you had to stay, if you wanted your neopet to stay at the nice hotel, you had to pay a huge amount of neocoins or whatever the currency was.
Starting point is 01:21:51 And I was like, oh, this is how the world works in real life, but it's on the internet in this made up world of animals. So it was an intro to capitalism for you. Absolutely. And then therefore it makes it onto the list. It makes it onto the list because you had to earn money by playing games with your pets to make them happy and to feed them
Starting point is 01:22:07 and if they weren't fed then they would die and you would feel bad. It was just... Similar to Tamagotchi. Similar to Tamagotchi but with Tamagotchi there wasn't this whole
Starting point is 01:22:14 economy around do you want to give your pet a massage? It has to be at the nice massage place. Like, the social status and the caste system
Starting point is 01:22:23 of society, as it were, was sort of grafted onto the world of Neopets. And you learned a lot as a kid. I see. So, so really Tamagotchi was more about life or death. And Neopets was more about like a commercial society.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Exactly. Totally understand. Number 132 is when people started saying slash typing L O L to say laugh out loud now this has really taken a hold of the culture in a way that i don't think we could have anticipated in the beginnings of aol instant messenger lol not only did it arrive in the scene in a big way but it is here to stay i mean you got people saying lol in real life lol has really lasted far beyond brB or G2G. TTYL, I mean, who says these things? Who cares about TTYL? We say LOL all the time. It transcends demographics. It transcends age groups. It transcends race. What can we say that transcends race? Not much, but lol definitely does lol is used the world over yes now number 131 speaking of uh you
Starting point is 01:23:28 know sort of things that technologically took the world aflame yes this is the invention of gone are the days when you had to call someone later and be like hey i'll get you this money later no no no now now you can just text the girl. Yeah. The cash. Yeah. Over the internet. And there was no excuse. It's like, Hey, you haven't Venmo'd me.
Starting point is 01:23:51 You haven't fulfilled my Venmo in a while. Oh yeah. Now you know when someone is troublesome in your life, if they have not fulfilled your Venmo. And I'm thinking actually of Bowen Yang for many years was a Venmo bandit. You used to really take a long time to fulfill Venmos. Okay, I'll cop to that.
Starting point is 01:24:10 Now not so. Now not so. Rich woman. Stop. Number 130 is Sandra Diaz Twine winning Survivor Pearl Island. A huge win.
Starting point is 01:24:25 I mean, a win that she could have easily lost, but what's her face? Lil. Lil eliminated. Eliminated once during the game, came back as an outcast, then made it to the end. Really one of the first goats, if you will.
Starting point is 01:24:40 Made it really easy for Sandra to win, and she was a smart player, smart strategic player. She's your girl. Sassy Sandra. And she won again Heroes vs. Villains and this we really include on the list because it was the introduction of Sandra Diaz-Swain into the franchise of Survivor.
Starting point is 01:24:54 But it was that Lil eliminated it was that Lil chose Sandra to go to the top two and Lil eliminated Fairplay? Johnny Fairplay. And so at that point Sandra was like I've got this. She really took her moment there. Wow.
Starting point is 01:25:11 Number 129 is the actress Regina King. Huge. In everything. In everything she's in. Watchmen, If Beale Street Could Talk, Never Forget Miss Congeniality 2, Never Forget Ray. Legally Blonde 2. Never Forget Legally Blonde 2, Sequel Queen 2 to 7. Never forget all the American crimes.

Best energy. Yes. And you, this was before If Beale Street Could Talk came out, you brought it up and she, I remember the look on her face when you said the words, and we're so excited that If Beale Street Could Talk came out. You brought it up, and I remember the look on her face when you said the words,
Starting point is 01:25:46 and we're so excited that If Beale Street Could Talk for that to come out. And she lit up, and she was like, thank you. The look in her eyes was, thank you for bringing this up. She was thankful for you. I now have to reveal that I can remember clear as day that it was you who brought up If Beale Street Could Talk. No. And I brought up Seven Seconds. I did not bring up If Beale Street Could Talk.
Starting point is 01:26:04 You did. You brought up both. No, I didn't know what If Beale Street Could Talk. No. And I brought up Seven Seconds. I did not bring up If Beale Street Could Talk. You did. You brought up both. No, I didn't know what If Beale Street Could Talk was at that time. You said that she had a new piece by James Baldwin that she was working on. I gave you an assist. I said, you have a new movie based on a James Baldwin book, a James Baldwin story. And then you said If Beale Street Could Talk. That is, I probably did say that, but I want to give you credit too, because you did bring
Starting point is 01:26:23 up that. But the thing is, we actually recalled both things that she had won an award for because I said seven seconds, and I said we are putting into the atmosphere that Regina King will win another Emmy. And she did. And she did. And we talked about if Bill Street could top what she would later win an Oscar for. An Oscar for. We did not know. We were sitting in the midst of an Oscar winner.
Starting point is 01:26:43 And Emmy winner. And she had already won two Emmys before that. But we were like, you're going to be winning another Emmy, young girl. Young girl. And she was like, well, thank you. I hope so. And then those hopes turned to reality. We stan Regina King.
Starting point is 01:26:54 Have from the very beginning. Thank you, Regina. Let's move on to 128. Number 128, another actress. Alison Williams eating the cereal and get out. A huge scene. This scene really kind of shot her forward in my eyes as, you know, someone to
Starting point is 01:27:12 watch because we only knew her from Girls Playing Marnie. We were like, what's she all about? Then she was in Get Out and the movie Get Out does not work without that performance. No. We should say it was fun the way she ate that cereal. And the cereal coming right after. Do you think the moment up until that point is when she's freaking out and then she has the car keys.
Starting point is 01:27:30 She can't find the car keys and then she has them and then her expression changes. But the moment is actually seeing the pictures of her with her former boyfriends who have been killed eating the Cheerios separately from the milk. Huge. Yes, an absolute queen of a scene. Queen of a scene.
Starting point is 01:27:44 Number 127 is Our Interview with Tracy Morgan. the Cheerios separately from the milk. Huge. Yes, an absolute queen of a scene. Queen of a scene. Number 127 is Our Interview with Tracy Morgan and Subsequent Julie Chen Feud. This was a low moment for us when we had what we thought was a really good interview with Tracy Morgan at Vulture Fest and it went viral
Starting point is 01:28:00 because he made some mess out of the Tiffany Haddish of it all. You can go back and watch the video. And then based on that interview, Julie Chen said that we were rude for asking him about Tiffany Haddish. Which is almost like her saying that every time she's interviewed someone that she's never asked about a co-star. Which I defy Julie Chen. And I say that is not true. And Julie Chen, when you lost your job in disgrace we did
Starting point is 01:28:25 not feel bad about it because you came for us in a moment of very bad hosting and journalism and yes we don't we don't feel bad and julie chen i mean you're you're an apologist for a lot of terrible people let's just say that on the record let's just say that on the record honey let's keep going hope those big brother checks are keeping you warm anyway 126 is and out saying hulu who could forget when and out won an emmy and said hulu i haven't forgotten let's move on 125 when game of thrones could make dragons but not photoshop out a starbucks cup i mean there's not there's nothing that hasn't been said about the Starbucks cup no Game of Thrones references are on this list just the fact that a Game of Thrones let a Starbucks cup sneak in there I famously think
Starting point is 01:29:17 it was on purpose because I have sat in editing rooms and to think that no one would catch that cup from shooting to editing to publishing is literally insane i don't believe it and i think they were trifling with us wow that's that's a conspiracy matt's a truther let's keep going america 124 this is 124 america ferrera throwing the first brick in sisterhood of the traveling pants.

Starting point is 01:30:03 And then they producers came out into the audience and said,'re going to be surprising kelly's number one fan people who had given us tickets were well aware that i was in the audience i thought they met me turns out they met someone else who allegedly had lent who lost like 90 pounds while listening to kelly's music and then he got free tickets to kelly clarkson's concert which was devastating to hear about however the real gag was when we were on screen yes and you saw me being a little over correcting my support
Starting point is 01:30:34 for this boy who had just won tickets to this Kelly Clarkson show and that Matt had this abject horror on his face that he I had to watch someone else get their Kelly Clarkson fantasy fulfilled, and let's just say it didn't sit well with me. I'm sorry, man. It did not sit well with me.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Number 122. Sutton Foster tap dancing in Anything Goes! She is an amazing talent, that Sutton. An amazing talent, that Sutton, who has sung at so many Kennedy Center honors. We love her so much.

Starting point is 01:31:20 and she has a number called Show Off in that. And I watched that at a young age, and I said, she cannot lose to Tony, and she did. these tony awards are not a sure thing no matter how well you turn a performance that's true that's true let's keep going to number 121 kfc releasing the double down what is this bowen this is this is the kfc sandwich where the two buns were chicken patties fried chicken patties and it caused a big stir and i think we're still dealing with the ramifications today fast food culture that we have to say and honestly the mcdonald's releasing the griddle did not make it
Starting point is 01:31:55 but kfc releasing the double down did make it we understand we're gonna get a lot of sort of hate mail about this yes from our mcdon and kings. But, you know, please sit down. We are the culturistas. We're the culturistas. Now the next is 120. Sherry Shepherd not knowing if the earth is flat.

Starting point is 01:32:19 Whoopi Astor. Whoopi Astor. She said, I don't know. I would want to know how to feed my children. She said that. Something to that effect. She definitely redirected and she said, I may not know if the earth is flat, but I am a good person. Yes. Which is, you know, certainly
Starting point is 01:32:34 a way to get her. I actually respect that. It's from the Matt Rogers school of I don't know my words, but I do know my heart.

Henson wasted accepting a Golden Globe. This is when she brought the cookies up off the table and handed out cookies on her way up to the Golden Globe. She could tell she was absolutely blackout, but she won for her performance as Cookie Lion in Empire. She deserved that one. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:33:21 Number 117 is hashtag the dress. Oh, who could forget us arguing all about the dress? I was with you in Times Square at a bodega buffet. And you thought it was black and blue, and I thought it was white and gold. No, I thought it was white and gold. You were right. I was wrong.
Starting point is 01:33:37 And it was really crazy to have an argument about that. And for me to be right, number 116 on our rule of top 200 moments in culture history is the passing of the 19th amendment this gave women the right to vote and think it was about time and it was the beginning of us of voting rights reform and thank you susan b anthony for making this happen and all the suffragettes really thank you let's move on to 115 which is rosie and elizabeth fight on the view this beats out the passing of the 19th amendment when rosie and elizabeth fought on the view this was a moment of culture they went to that fabulous split screen
Starting point is 01:34:17 and really they have not reconciled over this poem and when they went to the split screen you could see and you commented on this when rosie like when Rosie saw that they were going to the split screen. Or was it Elizabeth who saw that they were going to the split screen? It was Rosie who saw it and called it out. Wow. And that's when she quit. She said, I can't be having this. Someone who has moral clarity and decisions based on that clarity.
Starting point is 01:34:38 Huge. Yeah. Now we have number 114, Carrie Bradshaw voiceovers. And I had to wonder, is there more of an influential voiceover performance than this? I had to wonder that. I had to wonder. I don't think there is. I would say this brought back the voiceover as a worthy method of narration.
Starting point is 01:35:00 Do you think that there would be a Meredith Grey voiceover convention in Grey's Anatomy without Sex and the City Carrie Bradshaw? I think that that's a really interesting question. And I would say no. Thank you. I would say Carrie Bradshaw and Sarah Jessica Parker's performance as Carrie Bradshaw revolutionized, revitalized, and resurrected the voiceover as a narrative device that we now have in Grey's Anatomy, which has a lead character named Meredith Grey. Let's keep going. This is number 113.
Starting point is 01:35:33 Lisa Kudrow invented post-its monologue in Romeo and Michelle. Wow. I mean, when she talks about how she like used a specific kind of glue. Epoxy.

I think so. Because there's just no way.
Starting point is 01:37:50 There's just no way. This is going to be too long, and I'm actually saying it on the mic to our producers that this is going to have to be a two-parter. Because I don't know how we thought we were going to get through 200 moments of culture. But it was the only option, wouldn't you say? It was the only option. It had to only option.

They got them absolutely pregnant. This led to a huge surge in births during the time period of 1940s and 1950s. Yes, absolutely. And it led to – it coincided with a lot of social programs being put into effect in the United States and economic prosperity. So it all kind of worked out in a way and it helped assert the US's global dominance. Yes and we should say

Starting point is 01:45:48 But Sonia Sotomayor, during her Senate hearings when she was nominated by Barack Obama, one of our presidents. Remember her. Remember her. Some publicists or some media consultants, oh, media consultants were like, you should wear a nude nail polish
Starting point is 01:46:03 so that you come off more neutral and more sort of not as like loud and vibrant and sort of like you're not making this impression that you can't control. She said no. She said, fuck that. And you see her wearing bright red nail polish. Isn't that, I love that story.

And she's like, there's no way to know how you should get ready as a female running for president. Because either you're in a full suit or you're in that drag of light-colored shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbow. But there's no prototype of how a woman who is a politician running for office looks.

Starting point is 01:48:49 Making a big comeback, I would say. Really? In the meme culture, I'm seeing a lot of Furbies. Not surprised to hear that. I mean, they're such crazy, crazy animals. I'll never forget when my uncle got me a Furby three or four years too late. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:03 And it was like three or four years after the Furby craze, and I was like, oh, my God. And then I just had this white Furby acting a fool in my closet. I feel actually very bad because even though it was a toy with no soul, it really did a good job of making you feel it did have a soul and feelings because they would be crying hysterically. Randomly. Begging for attention.
Starting point is 01:49:23 In the middle of the night. Oh, honey. Terrible. So Furbies actually may have been um scarring culture i think they're scarring culture matt we're at 101 we're halfway through the list what do you think so number 100 oh oh okay so maybe you're saying maybe we should start with 100 i think we start with all right so then literally i think we start with 100. All right. So then literally, I think we've gone through the first 100 of our – we've been 200 to 101 of our top 200 moments of culture. Yes. And I think that we've done an incredible job.
Starting point is 01:49:53 I think we've done an incredible job. We hope that you agree with this list. You have to agree with the list because it's definitively empirically the list. We're not going to do an I Don't Think So Honey. No. Because this episode is an hour and 45 minutes. But we are going to say, we will see you later. And maybe the episode that follows this will be coming a little bit sooner than you think.
Starting point is 01:50:13 We'll have to talk to the producers. We're going to have to talk to the producers because we've made a lot of decisions without them. And they are very, we appreciate their flexibility and their adaptability in this process. Yeah. But we're doing something that no one's ever done before, which is catalog the top 200 moments in culture history. No one has ever done this before. And also, it's our 200th episode and we're very excited.
Starting point is 01:50:32 Also, please remember that we're saying it's our 200th episode based on my count, which could be wrong. I will accept it, Ezra. I told you, I looked in your eyes and I said I trust you and remember that Bowen has not done a count of the episodes even though I told him do you want to double check me and he said I trust you so I really I I put it to the viewers to count the episodes and tell me if I'm wrong but also deeply know that I don't care and that's not the point. The point is to celebrate this landmark achievement for the pod and recount the episodes and moments of culture that are really meaningful.
Starting point is 01:51:11 We're so drunk. And I mean, this is the most fun I've had in months, but stay tuned for the remaining 100 top moments in culture history. You're not going to want to miss any of these. There's plenty to cover. And number one, I just want to say definitively, you can push back on the order of the list. Number one is in the exact deserving spot.
Starting point is 01:51:38 Oh, number one is the number one moment in culture history. You will not dispute it with us. I would say that really everything is in its right place and there is no dispute but before you think we've not counted something in, understand that there are a hundred more moments coming
